(MUSIC)

2
00:01:32,126 --> 00:01:33,859
Confession.

3
00:01:33,861 --> 00:01:37,296
The reconciliation of the
penitent.

4
00:01:39,867 --> 00:01:43,535
It is one of the greatest gifts
the Church has to offer,

5
00:01:43,537 --> 00:01:45,771
and must never be entered into
lightly.

6
00:01:45,773 --> 00:01:52,277
To do so is to participate in
the pernicious sin of
contempt of the holy.

7
00:01:52,279 --> 00:01:57,716
As a priest, we are privileged
to minister this sacrament

8
00:01:57,718 --> 00:02:00,586
this profound act of...

9
00:02:00,588 --> 00:02:06,191
blah, blah, blah, blah.

10
00:02:09,330 --> 00:02:12,631
I hate it.

11
00:02:13,734 --> 00:02:16,368
I mean in practice not in
theory. In theory...

12
00:02:16,370 --> 00:02:20,839
it is a beautiful act of
contrition and redemption

13
00:02:20,841 --> 00:02:25,711
in reality, I am trapped inside
this tiny box for hours

14
00:02:25,713 --> 00:02:28,948
sitting on a hard wooden chair

15
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:32,184
listening to the inane
regurgitation of rote sins till

16
00:02:32,186 --> 00:02:36,221
my butt is numb and my mind
mush.

17
00:02:36,223 --> 00:02:40,859
So... when the bishop decides
that every perish in the diocese

18
00:02:40,861 --> 00:02:44,897
will have an extended three
hour session of confession every

19
00:02:44,899 --> 00:02:48,634
Friday night my first reaction
--

20
00:02:48,636 --> 00:02:50,502
heck my secondary

21
00:02:50,504 --> 00:02:53,338
my tertiary reaction

22
00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:57,309
isn't yaaaay.

23
00:02:57,611 --> 00:03:00,746
It's not that I find confession
boring.

24
00:03:00,748 --> 00:03:02,481
It's not boredom,

25
00:03:02,483 --> 00:03:04,349
it's hate.

26
00:03:04,351 --> 00:03:08,887
I hate it. Hate. A genuine hate.

27
00:03:08,889 --> 00:03:14,259
And it's not that I don't care
about the spiritual well-being
of my parishioners.

28
00:03:14,261 --> 00:03:16,428
I do.

29
00:03:16,429 --> 00:03:18,596
That's partially why I hate it.

30
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,301
Of course I didn't always feel
like this.

31
00:03:22,303 --> 00:03:25,571
In my early days I was excited
about confession.

32
00:03:25,573 --> 00:03:28,941
In fact, I used to worry that I
was too excited

33
00:03:28,943 --> 00:03:34,446
that I would derive some sort
of sick pleasure in hearing
confession

34
00:03:34,448 --> 00:03:40,619
that it'd be titillating in
some way listening to people
bare their souls.

35
00:03:40,621 --> 00:03:41,954
That I'd revel in it

36
00:03:41,956 --> 00:03:46,858
That I'd chew on those morsel
bits of gossip.

37
00:03:46,860 --> 00:03:49,394
I don't worry about that any
more.

38
00:03:49,396 --> 00:03:52,497
Turns out I'm not a thirteen
year old girl

39
00:03:52,499 --> 00:03:57,002
and gossip is not genuine
gossip when it's firsthand.

40
00:03:57,004 --> 00:04:01,223
It's sterile, clinical.

41
00:04:01,224 --> 00:04:05,443
It's the difference between a
striptease and dropping your
pants in front of a doctor.

42
00:04:05,446 --> 00:04:08,480
I assume.

43
00:04:12,820 --> 00:04:15,954
I suppose it just starts to
wear on you.

44
00:04:15,956 --> 00:04:18,390
Confess, confess, confess,

45
00:04:18,392 --> 00:04:20,792
and then they're back the next
week.

46
00:04:20,794 --> 00:04:22,861
And the week after that.

47
00:04:22,863 --> 00:04:28,834
And the week after that. And
the week after that until...

48
00:04:28,836 --> 00:04:33,872
You start to wonder, did they
even mean it?

49
00:04:34,942 --> 00:04:40,279
And that makes you wonder a lot
of things...

50
00:04:40,981 --> 00:04:46,685
Well at least confession is
still good for self-reflection.

(MUMBLING PRAYER)

52
00:04:58,065 --> 00:05:01,900
Honestly, what is the appeal of
the new atheists?

53
00:05:01,902 --> 00:05:07,506
Just a retreading of old
arguments, only less eloquently
stated.

54
00:05:07,508 --> 00:05:10,292
Try Sartre,

55
00:05:10,293 --> 00:05:13,077
the arguments are still wobbly,
but it makes for a better read.

Successful businessman.

Well respected by those who
know him least.

61
00:05:22,690 --> 00:05:27,359
Always the first to confession,
always opts for face to face
confession --

62
00:05:27,361 --> 00:05:29,961
a type of confession that is
actually somewhat common

63
00:05:29,963 --> 00:05:37,969
a fact you may be oblivious to
if your sole source of
Catholicism was the movies.

64
00:05:37,971 --> 00:05:42,607
O God, who by your Holy Spirit
make perfect the elect,

65
00:05:42,609 --> 00:05:46,712
pour your heavenly light into
the hearts of these your
penitent servants,

66
00:05:46,714 --> 00:05:50,015
that they may know and
acknowledge all -- all,

67
00:05:50,017 --> 00:05:54,052
their sins -- every single one
of them...

68
00:05:54,054 --> 00:05:55,687
... every sin against you,

69
00:05:55,689 --> 00:05:59,891
and, confessing and forsaking
them, may obtain mercy

70
00:05:59,893 --> 00:06:02,461
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

71

Amen

72
00:06:03,831 --> 00:06:08,200
Bless me Father for I have
sinned,

73
00:06:08,201 --> 00:06:12,570
it has been one week since my
last confession, I accuse
myself of the following sins.

74
00:06:12,573 --> 00:06:16,541
I lost my temper at another
driver.

75
00:06:16,543 --> 00:06:18,977
He was merging and almost--

76
00:06:18,979 --> 00:06:24,649
Not a mortal sin, no need to
give me the details.

77
00:06:24,651 --> 00:06:25,684
Um...

78
00:06:25,686 --> 00:06:29,521
Well... I broke the law.

79
00:06:29,523 --> 00:06:31,390
I - I sped.

80
00:06:31,392 --> 00:06:35,427
All week... to and from work.

81
00:06:35,429 --> 00:06:40,932
Maybe five miles, perhaps ten
miles over the speed limit.

82
00:06:42,136 --> 00:06:44,102
He also cheats on his wife.

83
00:06:44,104 --> 00:06:47,606
I know this because his
mistress confesses it to me.

84
00:06:47,608 --> 00:06:53,111
Not explicitly, but it doesn't
take Father Brown to put it
together.

85
00:06:53,914 --> 00:06:55,580
I was uncharitable.

86
00:06:55,582 --> 00:06:59,151
Father Brown is a fictional
character by G.K. Chesterton.

87
00:06:59,153 --> 00:07:01,570
He solved mysteries --

88
00:07:01,571 --> 00:07:03,988
sorry -- I just thought that
reference was a bit obscure.

89
00:07:03,991 --> 00:07:12,164
I didn't want you to think that
Father Brown was some highly
intuitive priest in the diocese
or something.

90
00:07:12,166 --> 00:07:15,700
I saw a homeless man on the
street

91
00:07:15,702 --> 00:07:24,643
and I thought I should
give him my spare change. But
I didn't.

92
00:07:24,645 --> 00:07:26,745
Um...

93
00:07:26,747 --> 00:07:30,933
I also lied.

94
00:07:30,934 --> 00:07:35,120
My friend asked me to help him
tear out his deck, and I said I
couldn't...

95
00:07:35,122 --> 00:07:37,522
I guess that's about it.

96
00:07:37,524 --> 00:07:38,890
-That's it?

97
00:07:38,892 --> 00:07:41,293
Yeah.

98
00:07:41,294 --> 00:07:43,695
No more sins you might want to
unburden yourself with?

99
00:07:46,934 --> 00:07:47,966
No.

100
00:07:47,968 --> 00:07:53,905
So speeding, lying, and not
giving change to a homeless
man?

101
00:07:53,907 --> 00:07:57,676
Well that's all I can think of
at the moment.

102
00:07:57,678 --> 00:07:59,711
Well, there may be some others.

103
00:07:59,713 --> 00:08:01,546
-But those are the biggies?

104
00:08:01,548 --> 00:08:05,517
Yeah, those are the ones I can
think of at the moment.

105
00:08:05,519 --> 00:08:09,721
Well... I'll give you a minute.

106
00:08:15,195 --> 00:08:16,962
Nothing comes to mind.

107
00:08:16,964 --> 00:08:19,197
Maybe something sexual, perhaps.

108
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:23,935
Pornography for instance is a
problem in our society.

109
00:08:23,937 --> 00:08:26,004
Are you, you know...

110
00:08:26,006 --> 00:08:27,806
Click, click, click?

111
00:08:27,808 --> 00:08:30,509
I have a content blocker on the
internet.

112
00:08:30,511 --> 00:08:33,078
-Oh.

113
00:08:33,079 --> 00:08:35,646
Well, who needs the internet
with the way women are dressing
these days, am I right?

114
00:08:35,649 --> 00:08:41,152
With their high skirts, low cut
shirts, you can see their
whole...

115
00:08:41,154 --> 00:08:42,187
regions.

116
00:08:42,189 --> 00:08:45,056
Is that a problem for you?

117
00:08:45,058 --> 00:08:46,691
(LAUGHS)

118
00:08:46,693 --> 00:08:50,762
Sounds like it might be a
problem for you Father.

119
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,000
I'm sorry Father.

120
00:08:55,002 --> 00:08:57,903
It just that description was...

121
00:08:58,539 --> 00:09:01,006
very vivid.

122
00:09:03,176 --> 00:09:08,647
But no, I don't have a problem
with that.

123
00:09:08,649 --> 00:09:14,219
I suppose I'm... just -- I'm
just blessed that way.

124
00:09:14,221 --> 00:09:17,255
Right. Blessed.

125
00:09:17,257 --> 00:09:18,790
But if it were a problem--

126
00:09:18,792 --> 00:09:21,493
It's not.

127
00:09:21,494 --> 00:09:24,195
-But if it were a problem you
should confess it, because lust
is a serious issue.

128
00:09:24,197 --> 00:09:30,769
You know, Jesus said anyone who
lusts after a woman in his
heart commits adultery.

129
00:09:30,771 --> 00:09:34,606
And we all know how serious
adultery is.

130
00:09:37,177 --> 00:09:41,046
That's so true Father.

131
00:09:42,015 --> 00:09:47,252
Now if you could make an
act of contrition

132
00:09:48,589 --> 00:09:53,725
O dear God, I'm heartily sorry
for having offended Thee

133
00:09:53,727 --> 00:09:57,329
And I detest all my sins
because I dread the loss of
heaven

134
00:09:57,331 --> 00:10:02,901
and the pains of hell; but most
of all, for having offended Thee

135
00:10:02,903 --> 00:10:06,989
Massive prick

136
00:10:06,990 --> 00:10:11,076
And his wife is such a
beautiful woman, so tender nad
love, and...

137
00:10:11,078 --> 00:10:12,844
Well, she doesn't deserve this.

138
00:10:12,846 --> 00:10:15,981
-I firmly resolve with the help
of thy grace

139
00:10:15,983 --> 00:10:20,752
to sin no more and to avoid the
near occasions of sin.

140
00:10:20,754 --> 00:10:22,621
Amen

141
00:10:24,124 --> 00:10:24,990
Father?

142
00:10:24,992 --> 00:10:25,890
Hmm?

143
00:10:25,892 --> 00:10:27,025
My penance?

144
00:10:27,027 --> 00:10:28,944
-Ah. Right.

145
00:10:28,945 --> 00:10:30,862
Three Hail Mary's, and three
Our Father's--

146
00:10:30,864 --> 00:10:33,965
Three Hail Mary's and three Our
Fathers?

147
00:10:33,967 --> 00:10:36,101
-You're right--

148
00:10:36,102 --> 00:10:38,236
three Hail Mary's, six Our
Father's, a decade of the
Rosary.

149
00:10:38,238 --> 00:10:41,306
And shove it up your anus.

150
00:10:43,310 --> 00:10:47,145
(MUSIC)

151
00:11:41,435 --> 00:11:42,901
Oh, shit.

152
00:11:43,870 --> 00:11:46,938
You uh... you here for
confession?

153
00:11:51,011 --> 00:11:52,577
Um...

154
00:11:52,578 --> 00:11:54,144
isn't this supposed to be
anonymous?

155
00:11:54,147 --> 00:11:56,147
Door number two.

156
00:11:56,149 --> 00:11:58,349
You can go around if you want.

157
00:11:58,351 --> 00:12:00,485
What would be the point of that
now?

158
00:12:00,487 --> 00:12:03,922
If it makes you more
comfortable.

159
00:12:05,158 --> 00:12:10,395
Nah, I'm not really...

160
00:12:10,397 --> 00:12:13,098
Take a seat.

161
00:12:16,236 --> 00:12:19,437
Or don't.

162
00:12:21,441 --> 00:12:23,475
Alright.

163
00:12:34,154 --> 00:12:36,187
So...

164
00:12:36,189 --> 00:12:38,323
Like, how does this work?

165
00:12:38,325 --> 00:12:44,829
Well, it's customary to begin
with "Bless me Father for I
have sinned."

166
00:12:44,831 --> 00:12:46,798
But you have like rules though,
right?

167
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,401
Like you can't tell anyone about
what is said during this,
right?

168
00:12:50,403 --> 00:12:51,736
Right.

169
00:12:51,737 --> 00:12:53,070
Like no matter what, right?

170
00:12:53,073 --> 00:12:54,506
No matter what.

171
00:12:54,507 --> 00:12:55,940
Like, even if it's really bad?

172
00:12:55,942 --> 00:12:57,142
Even then.

173
00:12:57,144 --> 00:12:58,810
Like, even if it's like
illegal?

174
00:12:58,812 --> 00:13:01,813
Even then.

175
00:13:01,814 --> 00:13:04,815
Like nothing? Like not at all?
Like even if it's super
illegal?

176
00:13:04,818 --> 00:13:08,787
Infractions, misdemeanors,
felonies, you're covered.

177
00:13:08,789 --> 00:13:17,095
Okay, even if I was like Hitler
and I was telling you,
"yeah,I've been killing like a
lot of Jews lately?

178
00:13:17,097 --> 00:13:23,067
Like, shoving them into ovens
and shit." You wouldn't tell
anyone?

179
00:13:24,004 --> 00:13:28,039
The seal of confession is
absolute.

180
00:13:29,176 --> 00:13:30,208
(LAUGHS)

181
00:13:31,011 --> 00:13:33,762
That's messed up.

182
00:13:33,763 --> 00:13:36,514
And have you been,
"like killing a lot of Jews"
lately?

183
00:13:38,285 --> 00:13:40,769
No.

184
00:13:40,770 --> 00:13:43,254
Then maybe we should stick to
your confession.

185
00:13:44,391 --> 00:13:46,558
Alright.

186
00:13:48,028 --> 00:13:51,596
I killed someone.

187
00:13:53,466 --> 00:13:54,999
(SIGHS)

188
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,533
No you didn't.
-What do you mean, "no I
didn't?"

189
00:13:56,536 --> 00:13:59,404
I mean precisely that.
-Yeah, I did.

190
00:13:59,406 --> 00:14:00,438
No you didn't.

191
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:01,940
Yes. I did.

192
00:14:01,942 --> 00:14:04,442
Do you want to make a real
confession? Or not?

193
00:14:04,444 --> 00:14:07,579
You cannot tell me what my
confessions are.

194
00:14:07,581 --> 00:14:10,181
You could start with the sin of
lying.

195
00:14:10,183 --> 00:14:11,316
What kind of priest are you?

196
00:14:11,318 --> 00:14:13,418
I'm telling you, I killed a
guy.

197
00:14:13,420 --> 00:14:16,020
Fine. Alright. Who'd you kill?

198
00:14:18,291 --> 00:14:19,407
A man.

199
00:14:19,408 --> 00:14:20,524
Just a man? Just a random man?

200
00:14:20,527 --> 00:14:22,861
Yeah, like a homeless
guy.

201
00:14:22,863 --> 00:14:24,462
What'd he look like?

202
00:14:24,464 --> 00:14:25,563
Homeless.

203
00:14:25,565 --> 00:14:27,098
How tall?

204
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:28,767
Like normal height.

205
00:14:28,768 --> 00:14:30,435
Uh-huh. And why'd you kill him?

206
00:14:30,437 --> 00:14:32,036
He was giving me shit.

207
00:14:32,038 --> 00:14:32,937
Literally?

208
00:14:32,939 --> 00:14:34,272
He was hassling me.

209
00:14:34,274 --> 00:14:38,109
Ah, well that seems equitable.

210
00:14:38,378 --> 00:14:40,245
How'd you kill him?

211
00:14:40,247 --> 00:14:41,946
I stabbed him.

212
00:14:41,948 --> 00:14:45,450
Ouch. With a knife?

213
00:14:45,451 --> 00:14:48,953
Yeah, of course with a knife.
What the fuck else do you think
I stabbed him with?

214
00:14:48,955 --> 00:14:50,421
What kind of knife was it?

215
00:14:50,423 --> 00:14:51,522
I don't know. A knife.

216
00:14:51,524 --> 00:14:54,425
Was it his knife or your knife?

217
00:14:54,427 --> 00:14:55,760
His.

218
00:14:55,761 --> 00:14:57,094
How'd you get the knife from
him?

219
00:14:57,097 --> 00:15:00,465
Just took it from him.

220
00:15:00,467 --> 00:15:03,018
Wow.

221
00:15:03,019 --> 00:15:05,570
Yeah. He was coming at me, so I
just--

222
00:15:05,572 --> 00:15:08,172
(GRUNTS)

223
00:15:08,174 --> 00:15:09,407
Where?

224
00:15:09,409 --> 00:15:10,575
On the street.

225
00:15:10,577 --> 00:15:13,678
No, I mean where on his body.

226
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,031
In the throat.

227
00:15:16,032 --> 00:15:18,383
Ah because you were mime
stabbing below his throat.

228
00:15:18,385 --> 00:15:23,054
Are you sure that he was normal
height?

229
00:15:26,459 --> 00:15:30,061
Must have been a lot of blood.

230
00:15:30,062 --> 00:15:33,664
Yeah, pretty nasty stuff. You
wouldn't want to know about
that.

231
00:15:33,667 --> 00:15:37,068
Fair enough. So you killed him,
then what?

232
00:15:37,070 --> 00:15:39,971
Then I thought I should
confess, and here I am.

233
00:15:39,973 --> 00:15:46,110
And here you are. Curiously
without a drop of blood on you.

234
00:15:46,980 --> 00:15:48,379
Well I washed up.

235
00:15:48,381 --> 00:15:51,516
Pretty thoroughly it would seem,

236
00:15:51,518 --> 00:15:55,036
and yet oddly

237
00:15:55,037 --> 00:15:58,555
not well enough to
remove that club stamp from your
hand.

238
00:16:00,427 --> 00:16:07,298
Alright, I confess, I didn't
kill anyone.

239
00:16:08,368 --> 00:16:10,418
You're pretty good.

240
00:16:10,419 --> 00:16:12,469
Yeah, I'm a regular Father
Brown.

241
00:16:12,472 --> 00:16:13,504
Who?

242
00:16:13,506 --> 00:16:17,575
I need to ask you to leave now.

243
00:16:17,577 --> 00:16:21,412
What?

244
00:16:21,413 --> 00:16:25,248
This may be a joke to you, but
we take the sacrament of
confession very seriously.

245
00:16:29,456 --> 00:16:33,491
Well are you going to leave?

246
00:16:34,995 --> 00:16:40,765
I don't think so.

247
00:16:40,766 --> 00:16:46,536
Other people who actually want
to participate in this
sacrament need to use the
confessional.

248
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:49,273
Hello? Hello?

249
00:16:49,275 --> 00:16:51,476
Is anyone there?

250
00:16:55,015 --> 00:16:56,347
No one's there

251
00:16:56,349 --> 00:16:58,216
-Even so.

252
00:17:01,121 --> 00:17:02,286
You need to leave.

253
00:17:02,288 --> 00:17:03,054
No.

254
00:17:03,056 --> 00:17:03,521
-No?

255
00:17:03,523 --> 00:17:04,756
No.

256
00:17:04,758 --> 00:17:07,392
You're refusing to leave?

257
00:17:07,394 --> 00:17:10,561
-Looks that way.

258
00:17:10,563 --> 00:17:13,664
Well, this is a new one

259
00:17:13,666 --> 00:17:17,068
You're just going to sit there?

260
00:17:18,071 --> 00:17:19,737
Guess so.

261
00:17:21,708 --> 00:17:23,574
Alright

262
00:17:24,577 --> 00:17:31,082
I give her about five minutes
before she's bored out of her
mind.

263
00:17:34,487 --> 00:17:37,555
(MUSIC)

264
00:17:58,678 --> 00:18:02,113
(SNAPPING SOUND)

265
00:18:09,456 --> 00:18:12,490
(CLOCK TICKING)

266
00:18:17,397 --> 00:18:21,599
(SNAPPING)

267
00:18:26,406 --> 00:18:30,675
(SNAPPING)

268
00:18:38,418 --> 00:18:40,651
Doesn't that hurt?

269
00:18:40,653 --> 00:18:41,686
Huh?

270
00:18:41,688 --> 00:18:44,555
Your wrist. Doesn't that hurt?

271
00:18:44,557 --> 00:18:45,456
Kinda.

272
00:18:45,458 --> 00:18:47,725
Then why do you do it?

273
00:18:48,228 --> 00:18:54,365
I don't know. I like it. A
little pain can be nice.

274
00:18:54,367 --> 00:18:59,270
-Mmm. Present company excluded.

275
00:19:01,508 --> 00:19:04,342
(SNAPPING)

276
00:19:09,149 --> 00:19:10,915
(KNOCKING)

277
00:19:10,917 --> 00:19:14,318
Okay. You need to leave now.

278
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,003
No.

279
00:19:16,004 --> 00:19:17,687
There's somebody else here for
confession.

280
00:19:17,690 --> 00:19:19,157
So?

281
00:19:19,159 --> 00:19:21,292
So you need to leave.

282
00:19:21,294 --> 00:19:22,860
You leave.

283
00:19:22,862 --> 00:19:24,762
This is my confessional.

284
00:19:24,764 --> 00:19:25,863
So?

285
00:19:25,865 --> 00:19:28,766
In my head that was a stronger
point.

286
00:19:28,768 --> 00:19:30,201
Get out.

287
00:19:30,203 --> 00:19:31,636
No.

288
00:19:31,637 --> 00:19:33,070
I mean it. Get out.

289
00:19:33,071 --> 00:19:34,504
You get out. Take the
confession out there.

290
00:19:34,507 --> 00:19:37,375
I can't. What if they're here
anonymously?

291
00:19:37,377 --> 00:19:40,756
That side's open.

292
00:19:40,757 --> 00:19:44,136
They're not gonna come in, if
you're in here --

293
00:19:44,137 --> 00:19:47,516
I'm not arguing this with you.
This is not a debate. You are
going to get up, right now, and
you are going to exit.

294
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:48,452
Or what?

295
00:19:48,454 --> 00:19:49,720
-Or what?

296
00:19:49,722 --> 00:19:51,789
Yeah, what are you gonna do
about it?

297
00:19:51,791 --> 00:19:54,692
You're gonna put a hex on me?

298
00:19:54,694 --> 00:19:56,661
A hex? I'm not a voodoo priest.

299
00:19:56,663 --> 00:20:00,831
Then what are you gonna do
about it?

300
00:20:00,833 --> 00:20:03,901
Okay, young lady.

301
00:20:04,704 --> 00:20:06,637
(MOANS SEXUALLY) Oh yeah

302
00:20:07,674 --> 00:20:09,473
Oh Father, yes!

303
00:20:09,475 --> 00:20:10,641
-Are you insane!

304
00:20:10,643 --> 00:20:11,943
Say you're sorry

305
00:20:11,945 --> 00:20:14,763
What?

306
00:20:14,764 --> 00:20:17,582
Oh -- oh yeah on the floor or
in the confessional

307
00:20:17,584 --> 00:20:19,317
you dirty boy

308
00:20:19,319 --> 00:20:21,719
You were mean to me. Say you're
sorry

309
00:20:21,721 --> 00:20:24,288
Never

310
00:20:24,289 --> 00:20:26,856
Oh yes. Harder. Yes! Down
sideways all over pound me!

311
00:20:26,859 --> 00:20:30,528
Okay -- okay, I say I'm sorry
and you'll leave?

312
00:20:30,530 --> 00:20:33,231
Yes. YES!

313
00:20:33,233 --> 00:20:37,535
Okay, I'm sorry.

314
00:20:51,985 --> 00:20:53,451
Father Whelan.

315
00:20:53,453 --> 00:20:54,986
-Wh--what are you doing here?

316
00:20:54,988 --> 00:20:58,422
Confession. What do you think?

317
00:20:59,559 --> 00:21:03,327
That... that was just a prank.
A bit of a--

318
00:21:03,329 --> 00:21:06,364
It's my confession Father, not
yours.

319
00:21:06,366 --> 00:21:09,667
Really it is just a prank.

320
00:21:09,669 --> 00:21:11,569
I believe you.

321
00:21:13,806 --> 00:21:15,740
Shall we?

322
00:21:15,742 --> 00:21:17,642
Father

323
00:21:17,644 --> 00:21:19,944
-Bless me Father, for I have
sinned.

324
00:21:19,946 --> 00:21:25,416
It has been three days since my
last confession.

325
00:21:25,418 --> 00:21:28,753
And these are my sins.

326
00:21:29,589 --> 00:21:34,492
Father Whelan is one of the
oldest and most respected
priests in the diocese.

327
00:21:34,494 --> 00:21:38,029
I've taken his confession
before and he's taken mine.

328
00:21:38,031 --> 00:21:41,699
Priests confess to one another,
that's normal

329
00:21:41,701 --> 00:21:43,968
though... not usually at this
hour.

330
00:21:43,970 --> 00:21:50,641
We don't generally want to take
away the allotted confession
time from the laity.

331
00:21:51,344 --> 00:21:53,678
Recently I've had a very heavy
temptation

332
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:59,083
Deep and penetrating like it's
been gnawing at my bones.

333
00:21:59,085 --> 00:22:01,819
A few months ago, a member of
my church

334
00:22:01,821 --> 00:22:07,558
a very, very lovely, devout
lady -- lost a child.

335
00:22:07,860 --> 00:22:11,279
A little boy.

336
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,699
Terrible accident and so
naturally I went to her, I
tried to strengthen her

337
00:22:14,701 --> 00:22:20,037
I tried to give her comfort as
best I could.

338
00:22:21,107 --> 00:22:26,944
But her reception was always
just very, very cold.

339
00:22:27,714 --> 00:22:29,547
That's to be expected.

340
00:22:30,717 --> 00:22:32,416
Yes. Expected.

341
00:22:32,418 --> 00:22:36,887
But still I prayed for her, I
prayed with her.

342
00:22:36,889 --> 00:22:42,660
I prayed for peace. I prayed
for her strength and
understanding

343
00:22:42,662 --> 00:22:48,432
I spoke with her about the
glories of suffering

344
00:22:48,434 --> 00:22:50,434
about...

345
00:22:50,436 --> 00:22:53,938
all of the treasures in heaven,

346
00:22:53,940 --> 00:22:58,042
and about the perseverance of
the saints.

347
00:22:58,044 --> 00:23:00,878
And then eventually on one
visit...

348
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,648
She turned and she looked at me.

349
00:23:05,518 --> 00:23:10,788
Straight in my eye and she said

350
00:23:10,790 --> 00:23:14,024
You could never understand

351
00:23:14,627 --> 00:23:17,061
-You've never had a child

352
00:23:17,063 --> 00:23:21,966
you could never understand my
loss

353
00:23:23,102 --> 00:23:25,669
She didn't just speak it

354
00:23:25,671 --> 00:23:27,638
she snarled it

355
00:23:28,674 --> 00:23:30,641
She was in pain

356
00:23:31,844 --> 00:23:34,111
Don't misunderstand me, I
didn't begrudge her.

357
00:23:34,113 --> 00:23:39,817
Even as she began to drift from
the church I didn't begrudge
her.

358
00:23:39,819 --> 00:23:48,659
You know, it's been fifty-two
years since my ordination.

359
00:23:48,661 --> 00:23:53,597
I've given a great deal for the
cause.

360
00:23:53,599 --> 00:23:55,833
I never had wealth.

361
00:23:55,835 --> 00:24:01,138
I never had a fancy car, or a
fancy house.

362
00:24:02,008 --> 00:24:06,444
I never took exotic vacations.

363
00:24:07,513 --> 00:24:09,447
Never got married.

364
00:24:09,449 --> 00:24:15,753
Never had children, and... and
never had grandchildren.

365
00:24:15,755 --> 00:24:22,760
And for the huge deep sacrifice
I considered for the sake of
Christ

366
00:24:22,762 --> 00:24:27,565
my parishioner considered it a
deficit in me.

367
00:24:27,567 --> 00:24:29,867
My sacrifice.

368
00:24:30,670 --> 00:24:31,969
And it is a sacrifice.

369
00:24:31,971 --> 00:24:36,073
We choose a life of sacrifice,
you and I.

370
00:24:36,075 --> 00:24:39,043
And now as I...

371
00:24:39,045 --> 00:24:46,217
near the end of my race and...
the end of my time here on earth

372
00:24:46,219 --> 00:24:49,220
I'm beginning to wonder

373
00:24:49,222 --> 00:24:52,022
Was it all worth it?

374
00:24:53,926 --> 00:24:56,260
Well, Father...

375
00:24:56,262 --> 00:24:58,195
Was it?

376
00:24:58,931 --> 00:25:03,601
Of course. Immeasurably.

377
00:25:03,603 --> 00:25:05,536
-Immeasurably?

378
00:25:07,874 --> 00:25:10,140
I have my doubts.

379
00:25:10,142 --> 00:25:15,579
And that Father, is my sin.

380
00:25:17,717 --> 00:25:20,751
Your act of contrition.

381
00:25:20,753 --> 00:25:24,588
I've prayed it all week.

382
00:25:27,994 --> 00:25:32,296
God the Father of mercies,
through the death and
resurrection

383
00:25:32,298 --> 00:25:35,266
of his Son, has reconciled the
world to himself

384
00:25:35,268 --> 00:25:39,770
and sent the Holy Spirit among
us for the forgiveness of sins.

385
00:25:39,772 --> 00:25:45,876
Through the ministry of the
church, may God grant you
pardon and peace.

386
00:25:45,878 --> 00:25:48,546
And I absolve you of your sins,

387
00:25:48,548 --> 00:25:56,887
in the name of the Father, and
of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit. Amen.

388
00:26:05,598 --> 00:26:07,665
Father Whelan...

389
00:26:09,268 --> 00:26:10,968
Your penance.

390
00:26:12,004 --> 00:26:16,340
I know my penance.

391
00:26:33,826 --> 00:26:34,825
Okay, look...

392
00:26:35,928 --> 00:26:37,128
Out.

393
00:26:37,129 --> 00:26:38,329
That was not cool, I know that.

394
00:26:38,331 --> 00:26:40,581
Out.

395
00:26:40,582 --> 00:26:42,832
-Hey! Fucksake, I'm trying to
say I'm sorry, okay?

396
00:26:42,835 --> 00:26:48,105
Aren't you supposed to be
forgiving? Isn't that like, the
point?

397
00:26:48,107 --> 00:26:50,641
Okay, I forgive you. Now get
out.

398
00:26:50,643 --> 00:26:53,177
Did you see the look on that
old guy's face?

399
00:26:53,179 --> 00:26:56,680
Yes. As a matter of fact, I
did.

400
00:26:56,682 --> 00:26:59,116
Almost as priceless as yours.

401
00:26:59,118 --> 00:27:02,953
You religious types are so
uptight about sex.

402
00:27:02,955 --> 00:27:05,656
Why are you sitting?

403
00:27:05,657 --> 00:27:08,358
I mean, it's just sex. It's not
a big deal.

404
00:27:08,361 --> 00:27:11,045
Have you ever had sex?

405
00:27:11,046 --> 00:27:13,730
You're not leaving. Why aren't
you leaving?

406
00:27:13,733 --> 00:27:17,167
-I mean, other than teenage
boys?

407
00:27:17,169 --> 00:27:21,021
Here we go...

408
00:27:21,022 --> 00:27:24,874
Yes, of course, every priest is
a pedophile. I choose my altar
boys based on their little head
shots.

409
00:27:24,877 --> 00:27:29,179
Do you know, the number of
pedophile priests is
infinitesimally small,

410
00:27:29,181 --> 00:27:32,316
but hey, let's not let facts or
reason get in the way of
knocking the Church.

411
00:27:32,318 --> 00:27:38,355
And I'm not minimizing what
happened -- it was terrible, it
was horrible, inexcusable --
but my goodness

412
00:27:38,357 --> 00:27:45,329
by that standard you must think
that every college football
coach is a pedophile, or every
Hollywood film director

413
00:27:45,331 --> 00:27:50,234
and at least we do not give our
pedophiles awards!

414
00:27:52,238 --> 00:27:54,672
It was a joke.

415
00:27:54,674 --> 00:27:57,408
Sorry. You touched a nerve.

416
00:27:57,410 --> 00:28:00,944
Like the way you touch little
boys?

417
00:28:03,849 --> 00:28:08,352
Okay. Alright, alright, you
don't touch little boys.

418
00:28:08,354 --> 00:28:17,227
But... have you ever touched a
woman -- and I don't mean
recently, I mean like ever?

419
00:28:17,229 --> 00:28:19,463
Have you ever had sex?

420
00:28:19,465 --> 00:28:22,433
I'm not discussing this with
you.

421
00:28:22,435 --> 00:28:25,202
Ugh, see? So uptight.

422
00:28:25,204 --> 00:28:27,037
This is not uptight

423
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:28,439
Are you embarrassed?

424
00:28:28,441 --> 00:28:29,306
No--

425
00:28:29,308 --> 00:28:30,407
I won't laugh.

426
00:28:30,409 --> 00:28:32,142
Why aren't you leaving!?

427
00:28:32,144 --> 00:28:34,812
I'm interested.

428
00:28:34,814 --> 00:28:36,980
Have you had sex?

429
00:28:36,982 --> 00:28:38,866
Please leave.

430
00:28:38,867 --> 00:28:40,751
Why won't you answer the
question? I promise I will not
laugh.

431
00:28:40,753 --> 00:28:43,420
I have asked you nicely to
leave.

432
00:28:43,422 --> 00:28:47,958
And I've asked you nicely if
you've ever had sex.

433
00:28:50,329 --> 00:28:55,933
No. Okay? No, I haven't had sex.

434
00:28:59,238 --> 00:29:01,739
(LAUGHS)

435
00:29:01,741 --> 00:29:03,040
That's so weird.

436
00:29:03,042 --> 00:29:04,658
-Uh-huh.

437
00:29:04,659 --> 00:29:06,275
You're so old. That's so crazy.

438
00:29:06,278 --> 00:29:12,516
Oh, so it's "just sex", no big
deal. But it's somehow a big
deal that I haven't had it?

439
00:29:12,518 --> 00:29:16,854
Well, which is it? Is sex a big
deal or isn't it a big deal?

440
00:29:16,856 --> 00:29:22,159
Because if it isn't a big deal,
then why is it a big deal that
I haven't had it?

441
00:29:22,161 --> 00:29:24,762
I dunno. It just is.

442
00:29:24,764 --> 00:29:28,132
I don't know what I'd do
without sex. I love sex.

443
00:29:28,134 --> 00:29:32,136
-You shouldn't even be having
sex. You look like a child. How
old are you?

444
00:29:32,138 --> 00:29:34,838
Screw you, I'm twenty-one.

445
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,041
Yeah, let me see a license.

446
00:29:38,043 --> 00:29:39,877
Does your father know you're
having sex?

447
00:29:39,879 --> 00:29:42,663
No.

448
00:29:42,664 --> 00:29:45,448
Well you should stop. Wait till
you're married. It's the right
thing to do and it's better for
you.

449
00:29:45,451 --> 00:29:47,417
Married people have better sex
anyway.

450
00:29:47,419 --> 00:29:49,787
-Yeah? Says who? You?

451
00:29:49,789 --> 00:29:50,954
-Studies.

452
00:29:50,956 --> 00:29:52,289
Bullshit.

453
00:29:52,291 --> 00:29:56,126
Numerous studies.

454
00:29:56,127 --> 00:29:59,962
Married people have more sex
than those who aren't, and are
more sexually fulfilled.

455
00:29:59,965 --> 00:30:04,518
Bullshit.

456
00:30:04,519 --> 00:30:09,072
It's true. All of those sexual
liberation things -- it's a
joke. Causes nothing but pain.

457
00:30:09,074 --> 00:30:11,225
And pleasure.

458
00:30:11,226 --> 00:30:13,377
-A little pleasure, followed by
a lot of pain.

459
00:30:13,379 --> 00:30:16,697
Then you're doing it wrong.

460
00:30:16,698 --> 00:30:20,016
Well not you, obviously, but
those studies are.

461
00:30:20,019 --> 00:30:22,286
What about oral?

462
00:30:22,288 --> 00:30:23,487
What?

463
00:30:23,489 --> 00:30:24,855
Have you ever had oral?

464
00:30:24,856 --> 00:30:26,222
I already told you, I haven't
had sex.

465
00:30:26,225 --> 00:30:28,058
Oral's not sex.

466
00:30:28,059 --> 00:30:29,892
Oh? What you're referring to...
oral hygiene?

467
00:30:29,895 --> 00:30:35,299
Yes, oral sex, is sex, it's
right there in the title. It's
part of the definition.

468
00:30:35,301 --> 00:30:38,969
Okay. What about a hand jibber?

469
00:30:38,971 --> 00:30:42,239
A what?

470
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,508
You know, a handjob. Stroking
the pope hat.

471
00:30:45,511 --> 00:30:49,179
Stop doing that.

472
00:30:49,181 --> 00:30:50,547
No.

473
00:30:52,151 --> 00:30:54,084
Slight lie.

474
00:30:54,086 --> 00:30:56,286
Jennifer Conner in the eleventh
grade.

475
00:30:56,288 --> 00:31:03,994
I... still think about it --
her, I still think about her
from time to time.

476
00:31:03,996 --> 00:31:06,997
Have you ever even kissed a
girl?

477
00:31:06,999 --> 00:31:08,198
Yes.

478
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,300
And not just your mom?

479
00:31:10,302 --> 00:31:11,201
Yes.

480
00:31:11,203 --> 00:31:13,637
Awww. Who'd you kiss?

481
00:31:13,639 --> 00:31:16,173
I had a girlfriend in high
school.

482
00:31:16,175 --> 00:31:21,545
Awww. She dump you, is that why
you became a priest?

483
00:31:21,547 --> 00:31:26,450
That's what you think isn't it?

484
00:31:26,451 --> 00:31:31,354
The only way you could fathom
how anyone could possibly
choose a life of celibacy and
dedication to God

485
00:31:31,357 --> 00:31:35,893
is in a state of crippling
emotional despair.

486
00:31:35,895 --> 00:31:39,263
Well, let me enlighten you,

487
00:31:39,264 --> 00:31:42,632
there is far more to life than
the shallow interrelations of
boys and girls

488
00:31:42,635 --> 00:31:48,505
or the world's juvenile,
insatiate obsession with carnal
lust.

489
00:31:48,507 --> 00:31:51,275
The very notion that the
mashing of genitals

490
00:31:51,277 --> 00:31:56,046
can hold a candle to the
richness that is found in
relationship to Christ

491
00:31:56,048 --> 00:32:00,284
or the eternal significance of
service to his calling

492
00:32:00,286 --> 00:32:04,454
is absurd and obscene, and
frankly, offensive.

493
00:32:04,456 --> 00:32:12,329
I chose this life from a
fullness of heart, not a broken
one.

494
00:32:13,699 --> 00:32:16,333
Okay. So, she dumped you.

495
00:32:18,370 --> 00:32:20,270
Yes.

496
00:32:20,272 --> 00:32:23,674
But that is not why I'm a
priest.

497
00:32:29,515 --> 00:32:34,084
Yeah, I dumped my boyfriend too.

498
00:32:34,086 --> 00:32:37,988
He didn't really seem to care
how I felt or... you know.

499
00:32:37,990 --> 00:32:40,490
Yeah. Well, it's probably for
the best.

500
00:32:40,492 --> 00:32:44,161
Yeah, well he was being a real
asshole.

501
00:32:44,163 --> 00:32:46,229
Is that really necessary?

502
00:32:46,231 --> 00:32:46,997
-What?

503
00:32:46,999 --> 00:32:48,599
Your language.

504
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,200
What? He was being an asshole.

505
00:32:50,202 --> 00:32:53,437
We're in the house of the Lord.

506
00:32:53,438 --> 00:32:56,673
-Yeah, I'm pretty sure God knows
he was being an asshole too.

507
00:32:58,310 --> 00:32:59,543
Even so.

508
00:33:06,385 --> 00:33:10,721
So, do just plan on sitting
here all night?

509
00:33:10,723 --> 00:33:14,224
What? You got somewhere you got
to be?

510
00:33:14,727 --> 00:33:16,393
No.

511
00:33:17,262 --> 00:33:22,132
Relax, if somebody comes in
I'll leave. Alright?

512
00:33:22,134 --> 00:33:24,167
You said that last time.

513
00:33:24,169 --> 00:33:28,138
Yeah, and I did leave...
eventually.

514
00:33:28,674 --> 00:33:34,077
I swear okay? I swear to God.
Okay?

515
00:33:34,079 --> 00:33:35,445
To God even.

516
00:33:37,616 --> 00:33:39,249
Okay.

517
00:33:40,386 --> 00:33:43,020
You know, you're not very
welcoming.

518
00:33:43,022 --> 00:33:47,057
This is why people don't like
religion.

519
00:33:47,059 --> 00:33:48,492
This is why?

520
00:33:48,494 --> 00:33:49,226
Yeah.

521
00:33:49,228 --> 00:33:50,293
This?

522
00:33:50,295 --> 00:33:52,796
Yeah.

523
00:33:52,797 --> 00:33:55,298
This? This scenario here is why
people don't like religion?

524
00:33:55,300 --> 00:33:58,835
Yeah.

525
00:33:58,836 --> 00:34:02,371
A priest being curt to an
individual who intentionally
and maliciously tried to

526
00:34:02,374 --> 00:34:05,709
falsely portray said priest as
a sexual deviant

527
00:34:05,711 --> 00:34:11,481
is the reason people don't like
religion? That's what you're
saying? That's your argument?

528
00:34:11,483 --> 00:34:15,252
Well, I'm saying it's in the
top ten at least.

529
00:34:15,254 --> 00:34:19,322
I see. So you actually liked
religion prior to this?

530
00:34:19,324 --> 00:34:23,593
I'm a spiritual person. I just
don't care for organized
religion.

531
00:34:23,595 --> 00:34:28,098
So you're for disorganized
religion?

532
00:34:28,099 --> 00:34:32,602
You dislike that we meet at a
designated time, at a
designated place in a
coordinated fashion?

533
00:34:32,604 --> 00:34:36,740
No. What you mean is, you don't
favor doctrine.

534
00:34:36,742 --> 00:34:41,912
You dislike that we make truth
claims,

535
00:34:41,913 --> 00:34:47,083
that we say things about the
nature of God and man, and
worse, that we make claims
about right and wrong.

536
00:34:47,086 --> 00:34:51,205
Because God forbid that
morality were objective,

537
00:34:51,206 --> 00:34:55,325
and we actually find judgment
to be a good and useful tool
for right living and a just
society.

538
00:34:55,327 --> 00:35:03,700
Because if that were true you
might actually have a need for
this box and this place.

539

The empty-headed happiness of
vague spirituality is that way.

I have no idea what you just
said.

541
00:35:17,182 --> 00:35:22,219
All I'm saying is that if you
have no need for my religion
and my confessional, then you
are free to leave.

my... my friend --

561

I have a friend, and he says
that confession gets rid of
hangovers.

right about now, because I got
a job interview in the AM.

you a cab.

I had feelings of jealousy over

perfect,

00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:38,555
well, I'm embarrassed.

654
00:42:38,557 --> 00:42:42,442
Don't be.

655
00:42:42,443 --> 00:42:46,328

anonymously, but seeing as how
I'm such a creature of habit...

00:42:46,331 --> 00:42:53,269

my absence, or recognized my

won't leave here.

thoughts about a man.

660
00:43:05,884 --> 00:43:13,356
And uh... do you immediately
pray to banish these thoughts
and temptations?

661

662
00:43:16,628 --> 00:43:20,630

guilty.

00:43:20,632 --> 00:43:23,032

664
00:43:23,034 --> 00:43:31,307
Well uh, this man is he a -- a
fantasy figure, that you're
having these thoughts about?

665
00:43:31,309 --> 00:43:38,147
Is he a model or an actor,
or... someone in your life?

666
00:43:39,117 --> 00:43:42,118
He's someone in my life.

667
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,287
I see.

668
00:43:44,289 --> 00:43:51,728
Well then it would be prudent
to banish those temptations.

669
00:43:51,730 --> 00:43:56,065
Don't be around him, if you
can.

670
00:43:58,403 --> 00:44:02,105
I'm obliged to be around him.

671
00:44:02,107 --> 00:44:07,177
I see.

672
00:44:07,178 --> 00:44:12,248
Well, it's going to be very
important then to avoid any
compromising situations.

673
00:44:12,250 --> 00:44:16,386
Don't be alone with him.

674
00:44:16,388 --> 00:44:20,223
That also, might be problematic.

675
00:44:22,861 --> 00:44:26,729
-There's no temptation to act on
these thoughts.

676
00:44:26,731 --> 00:44:33,970
I mean, it's really ridiculous,
and I would never cheat on my
husband.

677
00:44:33,972 --> 00:44:40,109
It's just that... I can't seem
to stop the thoughts.

678
00:44:40,779 --> 00:44:44,681

thoughts.

husband?

680
00:44:50,822 --> 00:44:53,056
They're fine.

681
00:44:54,826 --> 00:44:56,993
No they're not. I don't know
why I said that.

682
00:44:56,995 --> 00:45:04,133
We haven't been good in a long
time. Rupert, he's been very
busy. And...

683
00:45:04,135 --> 00:45:12,975
it seems, it sort of seems like
he's uninterested in me.

684
00:45:12,977 --> 00:45:17,180
I mean we haven't...
connected...

685
00:45:17,182 --> 00:45:21,918
we haven't -- we haven't felt
connected in a long time.

686
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:27,990
And I just can't change it...
I...

687
00:45:27,992 --> 00:45:31,461
Has he said anything to you?

688
00:45:33,965 --> 00:45:37,917
Mary, your husband--

689
00:45:37,918 --> 00:45:41,870
I'm sorry I shouldn't have
asked. That's completely
inappropriate.

690
00:45:41,873 --> 00:45:46,776
It's just that, I don't feel
like I know what's going on
anymore.

691
00:45:46,778 --> 00:45:51,414
And what is it, that you think
I would know?

692
00:45:53,084 --> 00:45:54,417
I don't know.

693
00:45:55,854 --> 00:45:57,487
Yes you do.

694
00:45:59,858 --> 00:46:02,925
That he's having an affair.

695
00:46:04,262 --> 00:46:07,063
And why would you think that?

696
00:46:07,065 --> 00:46:11,834
Because I'm insecure, and
silly.

697
00:46:15,540 --> 00:46:19,859
No you're not.

698
00:46:19,860 --> 00:46:24,179
I mean -- I mean it's not silly
to be jealous about your
husband.

699
00:46:24,182 --> 00:46:27,350
It means that you care.

700
00:46:28,286 --> 00:46:34,524
Thank you Father. You always
know exactly what to say to
help me.

701
00:46:37,428 --> 00:46:41,030
Well, about these thoughts, we
should keep them in line.

702
00:46:41,032 --> 00:46:50,339
We should not allow them to
take root. To fester. To grow.
Lest we... stumble.

703
00:46:51,509 --> 00:46:53,576
Okay

704
00:46:53,578 --> 00:46:56,078
Anything else?

705
00:46:58,416 --> 00:47:00,149
No.

706
00:47:02,020 --> 00:47:06,389
Well then let me pray for you.

707
00:47:08,827 --> 00:47:14,096
I recommend to your most Sacred
Heart who have now confessed to
me,

708
00:47:14,098 --> 00:47:16,599
asking that you guard her from
relapse.

709
00:47:16,601 --> 00:47:27,510
After the misery of this life
lead her with me into the joys
of eternal life. Amen.

710
00:47:30,048 --> 00:47:35,484
A Hail Mary, and a decade of
the rosary.

711
00:47:35,486 --> 00:47:37,887
Thank you Father.

712
00:47:51,502 --> 00:47:53,069
(KNOCKING)

713
00:47:54,572 --> 00:47:59,075
What are you doing?

714
00:48:00,111 --> 00:48:02,044
Good confession Father?

715
00:48:02,046 --> 00:48:03,279
What are you doing?

716
00:48:03,281 --> 00:48:06,349
-I saw her as she came in. Oh my
god!

717
00:48:06,351 --> 00:48:07,149
What?

718
00:48:07,151 --> 00:48:08,851
You dirty little rascal.

719
00:48:08,852 --> 00:48:10,552
-What are you blathering--
-You like her

720
00:48:10,555 --> 00:48:11,971
What?

721
00:48:11,972 --> 00:48:13,388
That woman that was just in
here.

722
00:48:13,391 --> 00:48:14,657
What are you talking about--

723
00:48:14,659 --> 00:48:17,059
You were counting down till she
got here.

724
00:48:17,061 --> 00:48:19,095
You're out of your mind.

725
00:48:19,096 --> 00:48:21,130
- You were fixing your hair.
- Would you keep it down?

726
00:48:21,132 --> 00:48:24,400
- You like her!
-She's a married woman.

727
00:48:24,402 --> 00:48:28,271
Oh my god! You like a married
woman!?

728
00:48:28,273 --> 00:48:29,839
Stop saying that.

729
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:31,406
You have the hots for a married
woman!?

730
00:48:31,407 --> 00:48:32,973
You're being ridiculous, I'm a
priest.

731
00:48:32,977 --> 00:48:34,510
Dirty priest.

732
00:48:34,512 --> 00:48:37,079
You're being ridiculous.

733
00:48:37,081 --> 00:48:39,181
So what's it about her that does
it for you?

734
00:48:39,183 --> 00:48:41,234
Nothing.

735
00:48:41,235 --> 00:48:43,286
It looked like she had a pretty
nice bod for an old lady.

736
00:48:43,288 --> 00:48:45,288
Does she now?

737
00:48:45,289 --> 00:48:47,289
Oh, don't pretend like you
didn't notice.

738
00:48:47,290 --> 00:48:49,290
Commenting on the physique of
one of my parishioners is not
appropriate.

739
00:48:49,294 --> 00:48:56,332
Yeah, well fantasying about
screwing them is probably even
less appropriate, and I bet you
do that.

740
00:48:56,334 --> 00:49:00,670
I do not.

741
00:49:00,671 --> 00:49:05,007
Hey, look, I get it. Like I
said sex isn't a big deal.

742
00:49:05,009 --> 00:49:11,047
Yeah, well it would be a big
deal. It would be a very big
deal. If it were true.

743
00:49:11,049 --> 00:49:15,217
So you don't fantasize about
fucking her?

744
00:49:15,219 --> 00:49:18,521
Don't talk about her like that.

745
00:49:18,523 --> 00:49:23,059
-Sorry. Must be true love.

746
00:49:23,061 --> 00:49:26,095
Or maybe your spank bank is
just rated PG-13.

747
00:49:26,097 --> 00:49:36,339
You fantasize about kissing
her? Holding her hand,
whispering sweet Bible verses
in her ear?

748
00:49:36,341 --> 00:49:38,474
Absolutely not.

749
00:49:38,476 --> 00:49:40,109
-You know it's a sin to lie.
-I'm aware.

750
00:49:40,111 --> 00:49:43,212
It's like, one of the ten
commandments, I'm pretty sure.

751
00:49:43,214 --> 00:49:46,048
-And you're under oath.
-Not true.

752
00:49:46,050 --> 00:49:49,452
And the big man is listening.

753
00:49:50,421 --> 00:49:53,522
Telling the truth. It's like
really important.

754
00:49:53,524 --> 00:49:58,661
It's probably one of the most
important things. Honesty.

755
00:49:59,998 --> 00:50:02,064
Oh really? Okay so...

756
00:50:02,066 --> 00:50:05,234
truth is important to you?

757
00:50:05,236 --> 00:50:08,004
It's important to God, Father.

758
00:50:08,006 --> 00:50:11,440
Well then God must be very
disappointed in you.

759
00:50:11,442 --> 00:50:15,378
Just in the time you've been
here you've fabricated stories--

760
00:50:15,380 --> 00:50:17,146
-That was a joke--

761
00:50:17,148 --> 00:50:19,048
You have outright lied.

762
00:50:19,050 --> 00:50:19,715
-When!?

763
00:50:23,021 --> 00:50:26,789
Alright. Fine.

764
00:50:28,059 --> 00:50:29,625
You're right.

765
00:50:30,228 --> 00:50:34,530
So I'll tell you what -- you
can ask me any question, I swear

766
00:50:34,532 --> 00:50:38,768
I'll answer honestly, if you
do the same.

767
00:50:38,770 --> 00:50:40,536
It'll be like truth or dare.

768
00:50:40,538 --> 00:50:43,039
I never much cared for that
game.

769
00:50:43,041 --> 00:50:48,244
You know you just can't have
truth without trust.

770
00:50:49,147 --> 00:50:54,183
That's the only way this works.

771
00:50:55,353 --> 00:50:58,387
How do you know you can trust
someone?

772
00:50:59,257 --> 00:51:03,459
You can't know for sure. You
just have to try first.

773
00:51:03,461 --> 00:51:09,398
Okay. So let's try. Truth or
dare Father.

774
00:51:11,502 --> 00:51:16,238
Okay just truth, but I get to
go first.

775
00:51:16,240 --> 00:51:17,706
Fine.

776
00:51:18,543 --> 00:51:20,776
Why did you come to confession
tonight?

777
00:51:20,778 --> 00:51:24,447
Because I wasn't ready to go
home.

778
00:51:24,449 --> 00:51:26,299
That's it?

779
00:51:26,300 --> 00:51:28,150
(BUZZER NOISE) Your question is
up. My turn.

780
00:51:28,152 --> 00:51:32,288
Do you like that lady that was
just in here?

781
00:51:32,290 --> 00:51:33,756
Yes.

782
00:51:33,758 --> 00:51:35,141
I knew it!

783
00:51:35,142 --> 00:51:36,525
I like most of the people in my
parish.

784
00:51:36,527 --> 00:51:41,147
No -- no do you "like" her like
her?

785
00:51:41,148 --> 00:51:45,768
(BUZZER NOSE) Your time is up.
My question: Why don't you want
to go home?

786
00:51:45,770 --> 00:51:48,582
Cause.

787
00:51:48,583 --> 00:51:51,395
That's not an answer. Why?

788
00:51:51,396 --> 00:51:54,208
Cause I don't really wanna see
my mom, or her boyfriend.

789
00:51:54,212 --> 00:51:56,278
So do you like her, like her?

790
00:51:56,280 --> 00:52:02,284
And don't act like you don't
know what the hell I'm talking
about.

791
00:52:02,286 --> 00:52:05,337
Yes. I do.

792
00:52:05,338 --> 00:52:08,389
But I'm not proud of that fact,
and I would never act on it.

793
00:52:08,392 --> 00:52:09,925
I think it's sweet.

794
00:52:09,926 --> 00:52:11,459
It is not sweet. It's not
appropriate.

795
00:52:11,462 --> 00:52:14,630
That is like your favorite word
or something.

796
00:52:14,632 --> 00:52:16,682
What?

797
00:52:16,683 --> 00:52:18,733
Appropriate. Everything is
either appropriate or not
appropriate.

798
00:52:18,736 --> 00:52:21,437
Or appropriate this,
appropriate that.

799
00:52:21,439 --> 00:52:25,308
Inappropriate.

800
00:52:25,309 --> 00:52:29,178
You like the girl, so why can't
you just like the girl? Why do
you have be ashamed about it?

801
00:52:29,180 --> 00:52:32,248
Because it's inappro-- it's not
right.

802
00:52:32,250 --> 00:52:33,916
You don't believe that.

803
00:52:33,918 --> 00:52:35,551
-No?

804
00:52:35,553 --> 00:52:38,588
No.

805
00:52:38,589 --> 00:52:41,624
Because if you thought it was a
shit thing, you'd call it a
"shit thing." Not
"inappropriate".

806
00:52:41,626 --> 00:52:46,395
You're right, unless of course
I had a moderate vocabulary, in
which case I just might use
those terms.

807
00:52:46,397 --> 00:52:56,172
If someone does something I
think is wrong, that pisses me
off, because it's wrong -- you
know?

808
00:52:56,174 --> 00:52:58,458
Your point being?

809
00:52:58,459 --> 00:53:00,743
You don't seem bothered by it,
so it can't be wrong.

810
00:53:00,745 --> 00:53:03,212
I see.

811
00:53:03,213 --> 00:53:05,680
Well, the Church has moved past
flagellation.

812
00:53:05,683 --> 00:53:08,450
Like farts and shit?

813
00:53:08,452 --> 00:53:10,386
(LAUGHS)

814
00:53:10,388 --> 00:53:11,654
-What?

815
00:53:11,656 --> 00:53:12,521
-Nothing.

816
00:53:12,523 --> 00:53:13,389
-What?

817
00:53:13,391 --> 00:53:17,326
-Nothing. Nevermind.

818
00:53:17,327 --> 00:53:21,262
So all I'm saying is there's no
shame in sexual desire. The
heart wants what it wants.

819
00:53:21,265 --> 00:53:24,967
"And the heart is deceitful
above all things and beyond
cure."

820
00:53:24,969 --> 00:53:26,602
-What the hell does that mean?

821
00:53:26,604 --> 00:53:28,738
It means it's my turn.

822
00:53:28,739 --> 00:53:30,873
Your mother's boyfriend, do you
dislike him?

823
00:53:30,875 --> 00:53:34,310
No it's not like that. I like
him.

824
00:53:34,312 --> 00:53:36,429
He's cool.

825
00:53:36,430 --> 00:53:38,547
So what do you fantasize about
when you think about your lady?

826
00:53:38,549 --> 00:53:41,517
Is this going to be your only
line of questioning?

827
00:53:41,519 --> 00:53:42,785
Yup.

828
00:53:44,555 --> 00:53:45,955
I try not to.

829
00:53:45,957 --> 00:53:47,890
That's not my question.

830
00:53:47,892 --> 00:53:50,960
But if I do dwell on such
impulses

831
00:53:50,962 --> 00:53:59,735
then a thought that keeps
recurring deals primarily with
punching her husband in the
face and running away with her.

832
00:53:59,737 --> 00:54:04,573
It centers on some desire to
rescue her.

833
00:54:04,575 --> 00:54:08,978
She's a sweet woman, and her
husband is...

834
00:54:08,980 --> 00:54:10,846
He's just not a very good man.

835
00:54:10,848 --> 00:54:14,583
Why don't you want to see your
mother?

836
00:54:16,287 --> 00:54:17,886
Because I hate her.

837
00:54:17,888 --> 00:54:21,323
What's wrong with this lady's
husband? Is he cheating on her?

838
00:54:21,325 --> 00:54:24,893
You are entitled to honest
answers about my life, not
someone else's.

839
00:54:24,895 --> 00:54:26,695
Got it. He's cheating on her.

840
00:54:26,697 --> 00:54:27,796
I didn't say that.

841
00:54:27,798 --> 00:54:29,148
-Didn't have to.

842
00:54:29,149 --> 00:54:30,499
Why do you hate your mother?

843
00:54:30,501 --> 00:54:31,934
-I dunno.

844
00:54:31,936 --> 00:54:34,937
She doesn't even deserve it
really

845
00:54:34,939 --> 00:54:40,509
she's been alright, like she's
not gonna win awards or
anything,

846
00:54:40,511 --> 00:54:42,845
but she lets me do what I want
I guess.

847
00:54:42,847 --> 00:54:50,819
And she's been dealt a pretty
shit hand too. So, all things
considered, it's fine.

848
00:54:50,821 --> 00:54:55,991
It's just... when she's happy I
can't be.

849
00:54:55,993 --> 00:54:59,328
What do you mean by that?

850
00:55:00,031 --> 00:55:03,799
Does the lady know you like her?

851
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:07,568
No. What did you mean by that,
if your mother is happy then
you can't be?

852
00:55:07,571 --> 00:55:13,475
That's just the way it works
out. Does the lady like you?

853
00:55:13,477 --> 00:55:14,910
She might.

854
00:55:14,912 --> 00:55:18,047
Why are you at odds with your
mother?

855
00:55:18,049 --> 00:55:22,718
You think she actually likes
you?

856
00:55:24,622 --> 00:55:27,890
I can't discuss that.

857
00:55:27,892 --> 00:55:29,858
What do you mean you can't
discu--

858
00:55:29,860 --> 00:55:31,093
(GASPS)

859
00:55:31,095 --> 00:55:34,063
She told you in confession!?

860
00:55:34,065 --> 00:55:35,731
I didn't say that.

861
00:55:35,733 --> 00:55:36,732
Holy shit.

862
00:55:36,734 --> 00:55:38,967
Again, I did not say that.

863
00:55:38,969 --> 00:55:41,704
Why does she like you?

864
00:55:41,706 --> 00:55:44,473
I mean, you're a priest.

865
00:55:44,475 --> 00:55:45,641
I'm also a man.

866
00:55:45,643 --> 00:55:46,909
Yeah that can't even fuck.

867
00:55:46,911 --> 00:55:50,946
I can. I have the parts. I
choose to abstain.

868
00:55:50,948 --> 00:55:58,454
Oh. Oh okay so she wants to
ride your parts because you're
hard to get. That's the
attraction.

869
00:55:58,456 --> 00:56:02,891
I wouldn't say that, and I
certainly wouldn't use those
words.

870
00:56:02,893 --> 00:56:08,864
There might be some forbidden
fruit kind of attraction.

871
00:56:08,866 --> 00:56:13,285
Also, I'm an authority figure...

872
00:56:13,286 --> 00:56:17,705
...of sorts. The relationship
between priest and parishioner
can be somewhat intimate.

873
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:22,010
Lots of people fall in love
with their psychiatrists, it's
much the same.

874
00:56:22,012 --> 00:56:25,781
Hearing their troubles, helping
them.

875
00:56:25,783 --> 00:56:30,486
Yeah, makes me wet.

876
00:56:30,488 --> 00:56:36,959
Okay so you like her, she likes
you, she's married to a dirt
bag, so what's the problem?

877
00:56:36,961 --> 00:56:40,529
Vows, for one. Mine to the
Church, her's to her husband.

878
00:56:40,531 --> 00:56:51,940
So you would rather be in this
box everyday than be out there
with that girl?

879
00:56:55,146 --> 00:56:58,480
I'd be lying if I said I
haven't thought about it.

880
00:56:58,482 --> 00:57:05,821
I've thought about it.
Increasingly.

881
00:57:05,823 --> 00:57:08,791
It's not that simple.

882
00:57:08,793 --> 00:57:14,847
Yes it is.

883
00:57:14,848 --> 00:57:20,902
You know you're so lucky. What
you want is right there, all
you have to do is reach out and
grab it.

884
00:57:20,905 --> 00:57:23,672
Not everybody has that.

885
00:57:23,674 --> 00:57:26,742
-At what cost? Do you even
consider such things?

886
00:57:26,744 --> 00:57:31,547
Like what? Like their marriage?
He's cheating on her. It's
over.

887
00:57:31,549 --> 00:57:35,751
Not just that. The cost to the
Church, the cost to Christ.

888
00:57:35,753 --> 00:57:41,790
The cost to everything I've
dedicated my life to and lived
in service of.

889
00:57:41,792 --> 00:57:45,894
So you're saying no priest has
ever quit before?

890
00:57:45,896 --> 00:57:49,381
-No good priest.

891
00:57:49,382 --> 00:57:52,867
So what? You're not a good
priest, that doesn't make you a
bad man.

892
00:57:52,870 --> 00:57:54,903
You can still believe in God or
whatever.

893
00:57:54,905 --> 00:58:00,843
It's not giving up everything.
Just this box.

894
00:58:00,845 --> 00:58:05,614
And maybe a few other things.

895
00:58:07,918 --> 00:58:11,553
You're a pretty sharp kid.

896
00:58:11,555 --> 00:58:16,859
You're intuitive.

897
00:58:16,860 --> 00:58:22,164
Yeah. Ricky -- that's my mom's
boyfriend -- he says that I'm
very mature for my age.

898
00:58:22,166 --> 00:58:24,700
(SHUFFLING SOUND)

899
00:58:24,702 --> 00:58:28,821
Oh, someone's coming.

900
00:58:28,822 --> 00:58:32,941
Ah, could you stick around for
a while? I want to talk to you
some more.

901
00:58:32,943 --> 00:58:35,844
Oh. Really?

902
00:58:35,846 --> 00:58:38,497
Yeah.

903
00:58:38,498 --> 00:58:41,149
Okay. Glad this session was
helpful for you Father.

904
00:58:41,151 --> 00:58:45,554
(CHUCKLES)

905
00:58:49,226 --> 00:58:53,629
(MUSIC)

906
00:59:01,572 --> 00:59:02,271
(GROANING)

907
00:59:02,273 --> 00:59:04,172
Let me help you, here.

908
00:59:04,174 --> 00:59:07,676
There you go, there you go

909
00:59:07,678 --> 00:59:09,778
Thank you.

910
00:59:09,780 --> 00:59:14,650
(LABORED BREATHING)

911
00:59:14,652 --> 00:59:21,189
Okay.. Just give me a minute...
to catch my breath...

912
00:59:21,592 --> 00:59:24,293
And this is what I mean.

913
00:59:24,295 --> 00:59:26,728
This is why I don't hang it all
up.

914
00:59:26,730 --> 00:59:34,102
Because every once in a while
some lost soul at the end of
his days reflects on his life

915
00:59:34,104 --> 00:59:41,009
and realizes how desperately he
needs forgiveness and a Savior.

916
00:59:41,011 --> 00:59:51,620
And that's how I can stomach
this box, because in those
moments, this is a place of
redemption.

917
00:59:51,622 --> 00:59:56,058
And that's worth seeing.

918
00:59:56,060 --> 01:00:01,597
It makes everything else seem
silly and trite.

919
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:05,233
I'm so glad you have chairs in
here.

920
01:00:05,669 --> 01:00:09,972
I don't think I could've done
those kneelers.

921
01:00:09,974 --> 01:00:13,642
I thought this was suppose to
be anonymous.

922
01:00:13,644 --> 01:00:16,912
Oh, we have another booth for
that.

923
01:00:16,914 --> 01:00:21,183
We really should mark them
better, shouldn't we?

924
01:00:21,185 --> 01:00:22,184
Yeah.

925
01:00:22,186 --> 01:00:25,687
But it has kneelers, so...

926
01:00:26,123 --> 01:00:28,657
This is a safe place.

927
01:00:31,095 --> 01:00:34,196
Do you want me to say a pray
for you?

928
01:00:34,198 --> 01:00:35,764
No, no, no.

929
01:00:35,766 --> 01:00:39,368
Forgive me Father, uh, for I
have sinned, uh

930
01:00:39,370 --> 01:00:46,875
It's been... thirty, thirty
some odd years since I've done
this.

931
01:00:46,877 --> 01:00:48,043
Long time.

932
01:00:48,045 --> 01:00:51,980
Yeah, it just never really
suited me.

933
01:00:51,982 --> 01:00:53,815
Things change.

934
01:00:53,817 --> 01:00:56,018
Yeah, they do.

935
01:00:57,054 --> 01:00:58,887
The doctors they uh...

936
01:00:58,889 --> 01:01:01,857
told me I got a month.

937
01:01:01,859 --> 01:01:08,730
Maybe less -- in case you're
wondering. I know people
usually tend to wonder.

938
01:01:08,732 --> 01:01:15,203
So I just figured I'd get my
house in order. You know?

939
01:01:15,205 --> 01:01:19,808
That's a very common sentiment,
I've heard it many times.

940
01:01:19,810 --> 01:01:28,050
Facing our mortality does tend
to help us understand our need
to get right with the Lord.

941
01:01:28,052 --> 01:01:32,888
Yeah, well that's what I'm
doing, just trying to cover my
bases.

942
01:01:32,890 --> 01:01:35,607
-Your bases?

943
01:01:35,608 --> 01:01:38,325
Yeah. Like you said, just
getting right.

944
01:01:38,328 --> 01:01:41,063
Right.

945
01:01:41,065 --> 01:01:45,033
So... your sins are?

946
01:01:45,936 --> 01:01:48,187
Many.

947
01:01:48,188 --> 01:01:50,439
I guess I should just start
with my favorite.

948
01:01:54,178 --> 01:01:56,044
Prostitutes.

949
01:01:56,046 --> 01:02:01,383
I just can't get enough of
them. I mean... I just

950
01:02:01,385 --> 01:02:06,288
I got a taste, you know what I
mean?

951
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:12,377
Drugs.

952
01:02:12,378 --> 01:02:14,795
Prostitutes and drugs kinda go
together. You know what I mean?

953
01:02:14,798 --> 01:02:16,765
I've done them all.

954
01:02:16,767 --> 01:02:21,737
Peyote, weed, mescaline, coke,
heroin, tar heroin, meth.

955
01:02:21,739 --> 01:02:28,009
I mean you name it, I've done
it. If I ain't done it, it
probably ain't worth doing.

956
01:02:28,011 --> 01:02:29,010
Light adultery.

957
01:02:29,012 --> 01:02:31,246
"Light adultery" what is that?

958
01:02:31,248 --> 01:02:35,817
-Heavy petting. I was drunk,
she was drunk.

959
01:02:35,819 --> 01:02:41,990
Several occasions.

960
01:02:41,991 --> 01:02:48,162
Petty felonies... theft --
mostly theft. You know it's the
kind of stuff when you're
exploring. Kid stuff, you know.

961
01:02:48,165 --> 01:02:52,134
Strip clubs. You guys got a
problem with that too right?

962
01:02:52,136 --> 01:02:55,137
That reminds me, I always
wondered about that.

963
01:02:55,139 --> 01:03:02,444
You know if lusting after a
woman and wanting to fuck her
-- excuse me, screw her

964
01:03:02,446 --> 01:03:09,050
Well I mean, if that's the
same, if it's going to cost
against me the same

965
01:03:09,052 --> 01:03:13,054
Then I might as well get my
dick wet right?

966
01:03:13,056 --> 01:03:15,323
(LAUGHS)

967
01:03:16,860 --> 01:03:20,195
-Um...

968
01:03:20,197 --> 01:03:22,531
-Street fights. Mostly.

969
01:03:22,533 --> 01:03:27,435
With a few people that deserved
it.

970
01:03:27,437 --> 01:03:30,038
Spent a couple of nights in
jail.

971
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:37,179
I don't suppose that's a sin,
but maybe what landed me in
jail was.

972
01:03:37,181 --> 01:03:42,251
Got to do what you got to do.

973
01:03:42,252 --> 01:03:47,322
I read my neighbors mail. I
mean I'm out here I'm done. I
think that's about it.

974
01:03:48,926 --> 01:03:50,392
Yeah.

975
01:03:52,029 --> 01:03:54,162
Pretty full life huh?

976
01:03:56,233 --> 01:03:59,835
Well.

977
01:03:59,837 --> 01:04:02,604
Oh.

978
01:04:02,606 --> 01:04:07,726
And I lied.

979
01:04:07,727 --> 01:04:12,847
Oh sure everybody lies, but
some are worse than others.

980
01:04:12,850 --> 01:04:17,285
And what was the worst one?

981
01:04:18,455 --> 01:04:21,957
Probably about my cousin.

982
01:04:21,959 --> 01:04:27,929
And what was the lie that you
told to your cousin?

983
01:04:28,866 --> 01:04:30,866
Not to her.

984
01:04:32,636 --> 01:04:34,903
She said I molested her.

985
01:04:34,905 --> 01:04:41,443
I would not have said that. I
would not have called it
molesting.

986
01:04:41,445 --> 01:04:46,581
But she was a drama queen. And
she went running and told the
family,

987
01:04:46,583 --> 01:04:52,120
they confronted me and I told
them she was lying, that she
was full of shit,

988
01:04:52,122 --> 01:04:55,323
and that she was batshit crazy.

989
01:04:55,325 --> 01:04:57,125
And now...

990
01:04:57,127 --> 01:05:05,100
well I wasn't entirely,
completely truthful.

991
01:05:05,102 --> 01:05:10,972
But they believed me, and she
was a drama queen.

992
01:05:12,009 --> 01:05:18,513
She was always playing the
victim. She just needed to be
the victim. She just...

993
01:05:19,349 --> 01:05:24,286
Was always pulling shit like,
so they didn't believe her.

994
01:05:25,289 --> 01:05:31,159
Well, maybe some of the family
members did. But...

995
01:05:32,963 --> 01:05:35,430
She was always a drama queen
though.

996
01:05:35,432 --> 01:05:41,569
Killed herself like ten, twelve
years ago, which is just the
kind of person she is. You know?

997
01:05:41,571 --> 01:05:44,539
Always needed to be the center
of attention.

998
01:05:44,541 --> 01:05:49,678
Just drama, drama, drama,
drama, drama

999
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:51,980
Always drama.

1000
01:05:54,651 --> 01:05:58,153
So, what can you do, right?

1001
01:06:01,625 --> 01:06:03,959
So do your thing.

1002
01:06:05,228 --> 01:06:07,629
My thing?

1003
01:06:07,631 --> 01:06:12,334
Yeah, absolve me.

1004
01:06:13,136 --> 01:06:17,205
There is no absolution without
contrition.

1005
01:06:17,207 --> 01:06:19,207
- Huh?

1006
01:06:19,209 --> 01:06:25,647
You don't seem like you regret
the choices that you've made.

1007
01:06:27,417 --> 01:06:32,454
Uh, well, uh, I'm just trying
to cover my bases here padre.

1008
01:06:32,456 --> 01:06:34,622
You know I...

1009
01:06:34,624 --> 01:06:39,377
I don't know what else to do.

1010
01:06:39,378 --> 01:06:44,131
So you just, do whatever it is
you got to do to absolve me if
there's a God.

1011
01:06:45,302 --> 01:06:47,402
If?

1012
01:06:47,404 --> 01:06:51,239
If there's a God?

1013
01:06:51,241 --> 01:06:53,174
I don't know.

1014
01:06:53,176 --> 01:06:58,213
You asking me?

1015
01:06:58,214 --> 01:07:03,251
Yet you're deeply, profoundly,
sorry for all of the wrongs you
have caused to this person

1016
01:07:03,253 --> 01:07:07,722
who may or may not exist?

1017
01:07:07,724 --> 01:07:10,892
Yeah. Sure.

1018
01:07:10,893 --> 01:07:14,061
Whatever, I'm just trying to
make things right between me
and the man upstairs. So...

1019
01:07:14,064 --> 01:07:16,097
Let's do that.

1020
01:07:17,067 --> 01:07:20,668
I can't help you if there is no
contrition.

1021
01:07:20,670 --> 01:07:22,070
- I'm sorry. Okay?

1022
01:07:22,072 --> 01:07:23,638
- Genuine contrition.

1023
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:27,809
I'm very sorry. Okay? I will do
some Hail Mary's.

1024
01:07:27,811 --> 01:07:33,214
I will cross myself, I'll drink
the wine, I'll bathe in the
holy water.

1025
01:07:33,216 --> 01:07:34,649
Get out.

1026
01:07:34,651 --> 01:07:36,151
What?

1027
01:07:36,153 --> 01:07:37,352
GET OUT!

1028
01:07:37,353 --> 01:07:38,552
-You've got to be kidding me.

1029
01:07:38,555 --> 01:07:41,089
Get the hell out of my
confessional.

1030
01:07:41,091 --> 01:07:43,124
You can't do that.

1031
01:07:43,126 --> 01:07:44,225
HEY! HEY!

1032
01:07:44,227 --> 01:07:47,662
(SCUFFLE SOUNDS)

Bless me Father for I have
sinned.

It has been a month since my
last confession

-and I accuse myself of the
following sins.

1045

I've committed adultery Father.

1046
01:08:57,267 --> 01:09:02,670

01:20:03,932 --> 01:20:07,066
Mary I'm leaving the
priesthood, okay, I am not a
priest anymore? I'm quitting.

1209
01:20:07,069 --> 01:20:08,469
What?

1210
01:20:08,470 --> 01:20:09,870
We can do something. We can be
together.

1211
01:20:09,872 --> 01:20:11,906
-Please stop. I just--
-Listen, listen

1212
01:20:11,908 --> 01:20:14,141
If you don't let me go, I'm
going to scream--

1213
01:20:14,143 --> 01:20:15,209
-I don't understand

1214
01:20:15,211 --> 01:20:16,977
you like me, I know you do.

1215
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:19,547
Mary, Mary, please

1216
01:20:19,549 --> 01:20:20,815
-What the hell is going on here?

1217
01:20:21,083 --> 01:20:22,683
-What are you doing here?

1218
01:20:22,684 --> 01:20:24,284
I came to have a word with the
Father.

1219
01:20:24,287 --> 01:20:27,454
He's putting ideas in people's
heads.

1220
01:20:27,456 --> 01:20:29,323
-Mary please listen to me--

1221
01:20:29,325 --> 01:20:32,860
What the hell is going on?

1222
01:20:33,996 --> 01:20:35,462
Mary?

1223
01:20:35,464 --> 01:20:37,932
Answer me right now.

1224
01:20:37,934 --> 01:20:40,534
-He tried to kiss me.

1225
01:20:42,872 --> 01:20:44,171
He what?

1226
01:20:44,173 --> 01:20:47,308
-He's in love with me.

1227
01:20:48,377 --> 01:20:50,611
You tried to kiss my wife?

1228
01:20:50,613 --> 01:20:52,213
What do you care?

1229
01:20:52,215 --> 01:20:53,848
Did he tell you?

1230
01:20:53,849 --> 01:20:55,482
he sent Charlotte to say those
things to you?

1231
01:20:55,484 --> 01:20:58,519
He told her she'd burn in hell
if she didn't.

1232
01:20:58,521 --> 01:21:02,590
He manipulated that poor woman
into lying to you.

1233
01:21:02,592 --> 01:21:08,262
-Oh come on Rupert. How about
for just once you confess your
sins?

1234
01:21:11,934 --> 01:21:14,101
Rupert! Rupert!

1235
01:21:15,905 --> 01:21:16,637
Hey!

1236
01:21:20,376 --> 01:21:22,476
-Rupert! Rupert!

1237
01:21:23,980 --> 01:21:25,412
He's lying to you Mary.

1238
01:21:25,414 --> 01:21:27,281
You're full of crap.

1239
01:21:27,283 --> 01:21:29,950
Mary! Mary!

1240
01:21:31,621 --> 01:21:34,889
You're through buddy, you know
that?

1241
01:21:34,891 --> 01:21:36,991
I'm gonna get your ass
defrocked.

1242
01:21:36,993 --> 01:21:39,927
Get the fuck out of here.

1243
01:21:39,929 --> 01:21:41,295
Dick bag.

1244
01:21:49,605 --> 01:21:51,372
Get out.

1245
01:21:53,609 --> 01:21:55,309
Let me help you up.

1246
01:21:55,311 --> 01:22:00,915
I don't want your help. Just
leave me.

1247
01:22:00,917 --> 01:22:02,216
Look I think that what--

1248
01:22:02,218 --> 01:22:03,517
-Get out!

1249
01:22:03,986 --> 01:22:08,055
Are you deaf! Are you stupid!
Just get out!

1250
01:22:08,057 --> 01:22:11,058
This whole night you haven't
listened to a word I've said!

1251
01:22:11,060 --> 01:22:13,294
You've just been sitting here,
pestering me,

1252
01:22:13,296 --> 01:22:19,667
bugging me with your goddamn
stupid made-up stories and your
niggling questions

1253
01:22:19,669 --> 01:22:24,472
and your idiotic advice!

1254
01:22:24,473 --> 01:22:29,276
And I must be a goddamn fucking
idiot, to even remotely
consider listening to whatever
insipid inanity

1255
01:22:29,278 --> 01:22:33,347
spewing forth from your stupid
mouth, and stupid lips!

1256
01:22:33,349 --> 01:22:38,252
You don't know anything about
anything!

1257
01:22:38,254 --> 01:22:41,588
You're a fucking teenager, with
teenager problems.

1258
01:22:41,590 --> 01:22:47,661
You have a silly crush on your
mother's boyfriend and you
think understand everything
about real love and loss!

1259
01:22:47,663 --> 01:22:54,201
Yeah, that's right! I pieced
that retarded puzzle together,
I'm a regular Father fucking
Brown!

1260
01:22:54,203 --> 01:22:57,638
Oh Ricky, yeah he's cool. Ricky
says I'm very mature for my age.

1261
01:22:57,640 --> 01:23:02,476
I can't be happy if my mom is
happy.

1262
01:23:02,478 --> 01:23:05,329
Grow up!

1263
01:23:05,330 --> 01:23:08,181
You treat your mother like
garbage because you have a
childish crush on her boy toy?

1264
01:23:08,184 --> 01:23:10,150
You think that gives you depth?

1265
01:23:10,152 --> 01:23:15,456
You think that gives you a deep
understanding of the human
condition?

1266
01:23:19,128 --> 01:23:21,195
Get out.

1267
01:23:25,434 --> 01:23:28,168
You think you know me?

1268
01:23:28,170 --> 01:23:30,070
You don't know shit.

1269
01:23:30,072 --> 01:23:33,640
Fine. Now get out.

1270
01:23:36,412 --> 01:23:40,581
You're wrong about me. You were
wrong from the start.

1271
01:23:40,583 --> 01:23:47,221
Fine. Whatever. Just get out
now before I throw your ass
out.

1272
01:23:56,432 --> 01:23:59,400
I did kill some one.

1273
01:23:59,402 --> 01:24:02,603
Yeah, that's right, the
homeless guy.

1274
01:24:02,605 --> 01:24:04,304
No.

1275
01:24:07,309 --> 01:24:09,276
My kid.

1276
01:24:11,614 --> 01:24:16,316
-And you're wrong about another
thing too.

1277
01:24:16,318 --> 01:24:18,519
Me and Rick.

1278
01:24:20,289 --> 01:24:23,590
It's not a childish crush.

1279
01:24:24,493 --> 01:24:26,293
I love him.

1280
01:24:26,295 --> 01:24:28,595
And he loves me.

1281
01:24:28,597 --> 01:24:31,532
And I slept with him.

1282
01:24:33,069 --> 01:24:35,436
Did you hear that Father?

1283
01:24:35,438 --> 01:24:37,805
I fucked him.

1284
01:24:38,407 --> 01:24:40,707
And not just once.

1285
01:24:40,709 --> 01:24:47,147
I slept with him... I slept
with him, many times.

1286
01:24:48,317 --> 01:24:50,617
And then I got pregnant.

1287
01:24:52,588 --> 01:24:56,623
And I wanted to keep it.

1288
01:24:56,625 --> 01:25:01,095
I wanted to have a family. But
Ricky...

1289
01:25:02,264 --> 01:25:07,601
Ricky couldn't have that.
Couldn't let me mom find out.

1290
01:25:07,603 --> 01:25:13,440
So he took me down, he helped
me fill out the paperwork.

1291
01:25:13,442 --> 01:25:16,543
He even paid for it.

1292
01:25:16,812 --> 01:25:22,549
And I didn't want him to be
unhappy. So I did it.

1293
01:25:27,656 --> 01:25:30,324
I did it.

1294
01:25:35,331 --> 01:25:40,667
And I wish to God I could take
it back and...

1295
01:25:40,669 --> 01:25:43,237
And you know what?

1296
01:25:43,239 --> 01:25:47,425
You know what?

1297
01:25:47,426 --> 01:25:51,612
The bitch is, now, Ricky won't
even look at me in the fucking
face.

1298
01:25:52,882 --> 01:25:56,817
I can't even look at myself in
the face.

1299
01:26:14,937 --> 01:26:22,643
I feel like I'm such a -- I'm
such a fuck up.

1300
01:26:56,946 --> 01:26:58,779
I'm sorry.

1301
01:26:59,315 --> 01:27:01,281
I'm sorry. I'm sorry Father.

1302
01:27:01,283 --> 01:27:03,450
-No, no

1303
01:27:06,522 --> 01:27:09,590
Your sins are forgiven.

1304
01:27:14,330 --> 01:27:19,700
Now go, and sin no more.

1305
01:27:31,547 --> 01:27:33,247
Good luck.

1306
01:27:34,250 --> 01:27:37,951
-Thanks. You too.

1307
01:27:40,756 --> 01:27:43,724
-Come by any time.

1308
01:29:02,871 --> 01:29:07,774
Forgive me Father for I have
sinned...
