1
00:00:38,871 --> 00:00:40,705
Hard to know where to start.
2
00:00:41,913 --> 00:00:45,247
I guess to tell the story
of the Good Friday murder through my eyes,
3
00:00:45,330 --> 00:00:47,038
I got to start here.
4
00:00:47,705 --> 00:00:51,747
Nine months ago, when this asshole deacon
said something way out of line,
5
00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:53,038
and I did this.
6
00:00:58,413 --> 00:01:00,038
Oh, shit.
7
00:01:00,830 --> 00:01:03,163
So, you're a fighter, then?
8
00:01:03,663 --> 00:01:05,705
Uh, no, Father, absolutely not.
9
00:01:05,788 --> 00:01:09,038
Well, we have a deacon who would say
otherwise if his jaw wasn't broken.
10
00:01:09,121 --> 00:01:11,830
In my previous life, yes, I was a boxer,
11
00:01:12,330 --> 00:01:14,830
and I lived on the streets.
I did some other things.
12
00:01:14,913 --> 00:01:18,788
We need fighters today,
but to fight the world,
13
00:01:19,538 --> 00:01:21,080
not ourselves.
14
00:01:21,163 --> 00:01:24,622
A priest is a shepherd.
The world is a wolf.
15
00:01:24,705 --> 00:01:25,913
No.
16
00:01:29,330 --> 00:01:33,622
I... I don't believe that,
Father, respectfully.
17
00:01:33,705 --> 00:01:36,497
You start fighting wolves,
and before you know it,
18
00:01:36,580 --> 00:01:38,531
everyone you don't understand is a wolf.
19
00:01:39,413 --> 00:01:42,330
I still got that fighting instinct,
and I gave into it today,
20
00:01:42,413 --> 00:01:44,830
but Christ came to heal the world,
not fight it.
21
00:01:44,913 --> 00:01:46,205
I believe that.
22
00:01:46,288 --> 00:01:49,663
It's this, not this, you know?
23
00:01:50,913 --> 00:01:52,746
I just want to be a good priest.
24
00:01:53,705 --> 00:01:56,913
Show broken people like me
the forgiveness and love of Christ.
25
00:01:56,996 --> 00:01:59,080
The world needs that so bad.
26
00:02:01,788 --> 00:02:04,663
You give me one more shot,
and I promise I'll do that.
27
00:02:16,955 --> 00:02:18,205
Your Excellency,
28
00:02:18,913 --> 00:02:21,038
you stuck your neck out for me
so many times.
29
00:02:21,121 --> 00:02:23,622
-I let you down, and whatever the...
-All right.
30
00:02:23,705 --> 00:02:24,871
Listen...
31
00:02:25,371 --> 00:02:28,247
Deacon Clark is famously a dick.
32
00:02:28,330 --> 00:02:30,788
Nobody's actually that upset
that you clocked him.
33
00:02:30,871 --> 00:02:32,372
In fact, kind of the opposite.
34
00:02:32,455 --> 00:02:35,121
But we do need to do something about it.
35
00:02:36,121 --> 00:02:39,247
We're sending you
to a small parish in Chimney Rock.
36
00:02:39,330 --> 00:02:42,372
It's just one priest there now.
37
00:02:43,663 --> 00:02:44,997
Assistant pastor?
38
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,247
Yeah, well, curb your enthusiasm.
39
00:02:47,330 --> 00:02:48,246
What?
40
00:02:48,746 --> 00:02:53,413
You're going
to Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude,
41
00:02:53,496 --> 00:02:56,764
led by Monsignor Jefferson Wicks.
Have you heard of Jefferson Wicks?
42
00:02:57,538 --> 00:03:00,955
Okay, look, Wicks has his supporters here.
I'm not one of them.
43
00:03:01,038 --> 00:03:02,122
Between you and me,
44
00:03:02,205 --> 00:03:05,163
I think he's a few beads shy of
a full rosary and a real son of a bitch.
45
00:03:06,163 --> 00:03:10,913
But what's undeniable is that his flock
is shrinking and even calcifying.
46
00:03:11,871 --> 00:03:15,413
It could use some of what
you said in there. You understand?
47
00:03:16,038 --> 00:03:18,288
Not at all, but yes.
48
00:03:18,371 --> 00:03:20,455
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
49
00:03:20,538 --> 00:03:23,413
-Spirit's got me. Let me at him.
-Hey. Hey, hey.
50
00:03:23,496 --> 00:03:27,121
This, not this, right? Mm?
51
00:03:31,246 --> 00:03:32,455
Good luck, kid.
52
00:03:38,246 --> 00:03:40,871
So, that's how I came
to Chimney Rock.
53
00:03:43,413 --> 00:03:45,163
Daniel in the lion's den.
54
00:03:45,246 --> 00:03:47,080
David facing off Goliath.
55
00:03:47,580 --> 00:03:49,913
Young, dumb, and full of Christ.
56
00:03:49,996 --> 00:03:51,747
Ready for anything.
57
00:04:23,871 --> 00:04:24,955
Father Jefferson?
58
00:04:25,871 --> 00:04:28,080
Hello. Jud Duplenticy from Albany?
59
00:04:28,163 --> 00:04:30,955
Lord be with you,
Jud Duplenticy from Albany.
60
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,205
You here to take my church away from me?
61
00:04:37,538 --> 00:04:39,330
Oh. No.
62
00:04:39,913 --> 00:04:40,788
Good.
63
00:04:41,663 --> 00:04:44,080
Okay, call me Monsignor Wicks.
64
00:04:44,996 --> 00:04:46,288
I see you've met Martha.
65
00:04:47,163 --> 00:04:48,330
Martha? No.
66
00:04:48,413 --> 00:04:49,913
-Monsignor Wicks.
-Jesus!
67
00:04:49,996 --> 00:04:52,497
I woke up early to polish the silver.
68
00:04:52,580 --> 00:04:53,872
It was a bit blotchy.
69
00:04:53,955 --> 00:04:55,497
That'll be fine, Martha.
70
00:04:55,580 --> 00:04:57,871
Father... Jud.
71
00:04:59,163 --> 00:05:00,455
You are welcome here.
72
00:05:00,955 --> 00:05:02,497
-Thank you, Martha.
-Mm.
73
00:05:02,580 --> 00:05:05,205
I was actually
just saying to Father Wicks...
74
00:05:05,288 --> 00:05:06,955
Monsignor Wicks.
75
00:05:07,788 --> 00:05:09,663
Monsignor, right. Sorry.
76
00:05:10,163 --> 00:05:11,788
And sorry for saying "Jesus".
77
00:05:13,580 --> 00:05:15,663
Hoo.
This is going great, I think.
78
00:05:15,746 --> 00:05:18,371
-Bishop Langstrom sent you, huh?
-Mm-hmm.
79
00:05:19,246 --> 00:05:20,330
Langstrom.
80
00:05:20,830 --> 00:05:22,413
I know him well.
81
00:05:22,496 --> 00:05:24,788
He handpicked you, sent you here.
82
00:05:25,580 --> 00:05:27,080
It says something to me.
83
00:05:29,663 --> 00:05:30,871
Tells me a lot.
84
00:05:31,996 --> 00:05:34,788
Well, I... I know
you're used to flying solo, but, um...
85
00:05:35,371 --> 00:05:36,996
I'm... I'm here to serve.
86
00:05:38,496 --> 00:05:39,705
Take my confession.
87
00:05:41,371 --> 00:05:43,163
All right.
88
00:05:43,871 --> 00:05:45,163
Mm.
89
00:05:47,246 --> 00:05:49,705
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
90
00:05:49,788 --> 00:05:51,080
It's been, uh,
91
00:05:51,955 --> 00:05:54,371
six weeks since my last confession.
92
00:05:58,788 --> 00:06:01,330
I've envied the material wealth of others.
93
00:06:02,205 --> 00:06:06,830
I saw this luxury car commercial.
Sam had it on his TV. Lexus.
94
00:06:07,496 --> 00:06:08,705
And I thought,
95
00:06:09,205 --> 00:06:11,872
"Ah! That is a good-looking car."
96
00:06:11,955 --> 00:06:13,538
The coupe.
97
00:06:14,663 --> 00:06:18,038
Uh... I've envied the power of great men.
98
00:06:19,455 --> 00:06:22,747
Envied my grandfather's power as a priest.
I wanted that.
99
00:06:22,830 --> 00:06:24,121
Always did.
100
00:06:25,871 --> 00:06:26,871
Uh...
101
00:06:27,621 --> 00:06:29,038
I've masturbated,
102
00:06:30,246 --> 00:06:33,705
um, four times this week.
103
00:06:33,788 --> 00:06:36,622
Four or five, generally, in...
What'd I say, six weeks?
104
00:06:36,705 --> 00:06:39,871
Well, let's say 30 times, masturbated.
105
00:06:40,913 --> 00:06:44,538
Uh, this week, in my bed,
in the morning once.
106
00:06:45,038 --> 00:06:49,038
Once in the shower, standing up,
which was convenient.
107
00:06:49,121 --> 00:06:51,247
Just use a bath gel.
108
00:06:52,330 --> 00:06:55,538
Oh, once in the middle of the night,
after a dream about...
109
00:06:55,621 --> 00:06:58,205
-That's all right.
-About one of those Japanese cat cafés.
110
00:06:58,288 --> 00:07:00,622
-Okay.
-You know, I read this article,
111
00:07:00,705 --> 00:07:05,996
but the cats were girls,
and, you know, so...
112
00:07:06,663 --> 00:07:07,997
And I hadn't prepared,
113
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,205
so I had to finish into a copy
of Catholic Chronicle magazine,
114
00:07:12,913 --> 00:07:16,996
just what was on the end table,
which is probably its own kind of sin.
115
00:07:17,496 --> 00:07:20,496
I don't know, maybe not, but...
Not good.
116
00:07:21,621 --> 00:07:23,830
At the time,
I thought this was just weird.
117
00:07:24,830 --> 00:07:26,913
But looking back now, I know.
118
00:07:26,996 --> 00:07:29,330
This was Wicks' first punch.
119
00:07:29,413 --> 00:07:31,538
Five Hail Marys and one Glory Be.
120
00:07:33,246 --> 00:07:34,538
Thank you, Father.
121
00:07:40,121 --> 00:07:41,538
It wouldn't be his last.
122
00:07:41,621 --> 00:07:42,955
Oh, and welcome
123
00:07:43,746 --> 00:07:45,163
to my church.
124
00:07:48,746 --> 00:07:51,205
Over the next few weeks, I settled in
125
00:07:51,288 --> 00:07:53,580
at Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude.
126
00:07:59,246 --> 00:08:03,871
The only other full-time employee
was the groundskeeper, Samson.
127
00:08:04,580 --> 00:08:05,663
Sam.
128
00:08:11,205 --> 00:08:12,830
It's Monsignor Wicks
129
00:08:12,913 --> 00:08:17,080
who gives me the strength every day
to not go back to the bottle.
130
00:08:17,996 --> 00:08:19,038
He used to drink too.
131
00:08:20,121 --> 00:08:24,163
But he said to me once,
"If I can stave off that demon, you can."
132
00:08:25,455 --> 00:08:27,371
And every day, it is a struggle.
133
00:08:28,246 --> 00:08:29,330
But I have.
134
00:08:30,621 --> 00:08:34,038
I credit him and... my sweet Martha.
135
00:08:34,121 --> 00:08:36,622
Your... your sweet Martha?
136
00:08:36,705 --> 00:08:38,413
I'd do anything for her.
137
00:08:39,788 --> 00:08:42,080
My angel on Earth.
138
00:08:42,163 --> 00:08:45,455
As far as the church goes,
Martha does it all.
139
00:08:45,538 --> 00:08:48,747
She keeps the books,
manages donations, files everything.
140
00:08:48,830 --> 00:08:50,038
File that.
141
00:08:50,621 --> 00:08:52,955
She launders the vestments,
stocks the supplies,
142
00:08:53,038 --> 00:08:55,246
feeds Wicks, plays the organ.
143
00:08:58,955 --> 00:09:00,871
She knew where the bodies were buried.
144
00:09:01,663 --> 00:09:03,663
-So this is the crypt?
-Yep.
145
00:09:03,746 --> 00:09:06,788
It's a damn shame.
Gotta put up a security camera.
146
00:09:07,288 --> 00:09:09,413
-Is there an entrance?
-There is.
147
00:09:10,580 --> 00:09:11,788
This right here,
148
00:09:12,288 --> 00:09:13,413
it's a Lazarus door.
149
00:09:14,121 --> 00:09:16,913
Takes construction equipment
to open from the outside.
150
00:09:16,996 --> 00:09:19,955
But cantilevered as such that one push
151
00:09:20,538 --> 00:09:22,955
will send it tumbling
to the ground from inside.
152
00:09:24,205 --> 00:09:25,455
Who's in there then?
153
00:09:25,538 --> 00:09:26,621
Prentice.
154
00:09:27,246 --> 00:09:30,705
Wicks' grandfather,
the founder of this church.
155
00:09:31,580 --> 00:09:33,080
Was like a father to me.
156
00:09:33,746 --> 00:09:35,663
Makes me sick.
157
00:09:35,746 --> 00:09:40,080
These kids painting rocket ships
all over his sacred resting place.
158
00:09:46,788 --> 00:09:49,496
-What are you doing?
-Oh, uh...
159
00:09:50,288 --> 00:09:52,122
Well, I do a little wood-working,
160
00:09:52,205 --> 00:09:55,705
so thought I could borrow
some of Sam's tools, make a proper...
161
00:09:55,788 --> 00:09:56,997
No, we leave that.
162
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,038
A reminder of the shameful sin
of the harlot whore.
163
00:10:01,580 --> 00:10:02,996
Take my confession.
164
00:10:04,955 --> 00:10:06,705
Yes, the harlot whore.
165
00:10:08,205 --> 00:10:09,622
That was Wicks' mother.
166
00:10:09,705 --> 00:10:12,330
Okay, so what's the deal with that?
167
00:10:12,413 --> 00:10:14,705
She was a harlot and a whore.
168
00:10:15,538 --> 00:10:16,288
Okay.
169
00:10:16,371 --> 00:10:19,580
When Prentice entered the priesthood
and founded this church,
170
00:10:19,663 --> 00:10:21,913
he was widowed with a daughter.
171
00:10:23,038 --> 00:10:24,621
Grace was her name.
172
00:10:25,205 --> 00:10:26,747
Always a bad seed.
173
00:10:26,830 --> 00:10:32,163
She loved revealing clothes
and her fancy brands.
174
00:10:32,246 --> 00:10:33,872
Fancy brands... Oof.
175
00:10:33,955 --> 00:10:35,038
-Mm.
-Yeah.
176
00:10:35,121 --> 00:10:37,955
As a teenager, she slutted around bars,
177
00:10:38,038 --> 00:10:40,247
was soon pregnant by a drifter.
178
00:10:41,246 --> 00:10:45,288
Prentice had
a vast family fortune in the bank.
179
00:10:45,371 --> 00:10:48,413
To protect his grandson, Wicks,
180
00:10:48,496 --> 00:10:53,163
he promised that
if Grace stayed under his roof,
181
00:10:53,871 --> 00:10:56,996
the fortune would be willed to her.
182
00:10:57,996 --> 00:11:01,830
And so the whore
waited for her father to die.
183
00:11:02,746 --> 00:11:05,080
Oh, it weighed on him heavily.
184
00:11:05,163 --> 00:11:06,746
Martha, remember this.
185
00:11:07,913 --> 00:11:10,746
Wealth and the power that comes with it,
186
00:11:11,496 --> 00:11:12,746
is Eve's Apple.
187
00:11:13,996 --> 00:11:16,121
Temptation that leads to the fall.
188
00:11:17,371 --> 00:11:21,205
I must protect our loved ones
from its corrupting influence,
189
00:11:22,288 --> 00:11:23,705
at all costs.
190
00:11:24,455 --> 00:11:26,205
His day came at last.
191
00:11:26,288 --> 00:11:27,621
I was there.
192
00:11:28,705 --> 00:11:31,830
I saw Prentice take his final communion
193
00:11:31,913 --> 00:11:34,663
and die on the holy altar.
194
00:11:34,746 --> 00:11:36,246
At peace.
195
00:11:37,038 --> 00:11:40,538
The harlot whore
went straight to Prentice's attorney.
196
00:11:41,121 --> 00:11:44,205
"Give me my money," she said.
197
00:11:45,455 --> 00:11:46,913
And do you know what he said?
198
00:11:48,038 --> 00:11:52,538
"Yes, you are heir
to every single penny Prentice had."
199
00:11:53,330 --> 00:11:54,955
And in his accounts,
200
00:11:56,246 --> 00:11:59,246
not one hot dime.
201
00:11:59,955 --> 00:12:02,038
Mm, what did he do with the fortune?
202
00:12:02,121 --> 00:12:04,121
Gave it to the poor, say some.
203
00:12:04,746 --> 00:12:07,621
Threw it in the ocean, say others.
No one knows.
204
00:12:08,496 --> 00:12:09,496
It was gone.
205
00:12:10,455 --> 00:12:14,288
That holy man's final act of grace
206
00:12:15,413 --> 00:12:19,705
was to keep the corrupting evil
out of wicked hands.
207
00:12:20,746 --> 00:12:22,580
All that he left her...
208
00:12:25,621 --> 00:12:26,621
{\an8}was this.
209
00:12:27,246 --> 00:12:29,288
{\an8}"What is this?" she said.
210
00:12:30,371 --> 00:12:31,788
But I knew.
211
00:12:32,496 --> 00:12:34,330
Look not for Eve's Apple.
212
00:12:34,996 --> 00:12:38,330
Your inheritance is now Christ.
213
00:12:44,288 --> 00:12:46,913
That night, she had her revenge.
214
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,997
In a demonic rage,
215
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,163
she defiled this holy place.
216
00:13:11,496 --> 00:13:13,913
Blasphemy, desecration.
217
00:13:15,496 --> 00:13:18,413
Evil incarnate.
218
00:13:54,163 --> 00:13:56,455
I said, "Sister Grace,"
219
00:13:56,538 --> 00:14:01,538
God, your Father,
will forgive you in His love."
220
00:14:18,038 --> 00:14:19,621
She died,
221
00:14:20,163 --> 00:14:22,372
throwing herself against Prentice's tomb.
222
00:14:25,621 --> 00:14:27,621
Brain aneurysm, they said.
223
00:14:28,830 --> 00:14:30,746
Struck down, I say,
224
00:14:31,621 --> 00:14:34,955
by God in His mercy.
225
00:14:36,038 --> 00:14:37,580
Holy shit.
226
00:14:39,746 --> 00:14:40,746
Sorry, sorry.
227
00:14:42,996 --> 00:14:46,330
The darkness of that story
was the bedrock of this place.
228
00:14:46,413 --> 00:14:48,663
You could feel it.
229
00:14:48,746 --> 00:14:50,080
And he asked, "Who told you..."
230
00:14:50,163 --> 00:14:54,580
So what would draw someone
to make this their spiritual home?
231
00:14:55,163 --> 00:14:58,080
The core group of regulars
all had their reasons.
232
00:14:58,163 --> 00:15:00,122
And these will be our suspects.
233
00:15:00,205 --> 00:15:01,913
So I should introduce them.
234
00:15:02,580 --> 00:15:06,205
{\an8}Vera Draven, local attorney.
She was loyal and devoted.
235
00:15:08,705 --> 00:15:11,955
My dad was
Wicks' attorney and drinking buddy.
236
00:15:12,038 --> 00:15:14,163
The boys.
237
00:15:14,246 --> 00:15:18,622
And so you became a lawyer so you could
take over his family practice?
238
00:15:18,705 --> 00:15:21,925
I became a lawyer because
I wanted to do great things in the world.
239
00:15:23,205 --> 00:15:26,038
But this place is my dad's legacy.
240
00:15:26,788 --> 00:15:27,747
And he wanted me to...
241
00:15:27,830 --> 00:15:30,205
-Thank you.
-...keep it going after he passed.
242
00:15:30,288 --> 00:15:32,705
So here I am.
243
00:15:32,788 --> 00:15:34,622
Yo, yo. Hey, Vera.
244
00:15:34,705 --> 00:15:37,038
-Hi. Oh. Thank you.
-Would you fill this up?
245
00:15:37,121 --> 00:15:39,622
Her adopted son, Cy,
just moved back home
246
00:15:39,705 --> 00:15:42,413
after trying and failing
to get a foothold in politics.
247
00:15:42,496 --> 00:15:43,413
Hi.
248
00:15:43,496 --> 00:15:44,455
Hey.
249
00:15:44,538 --> 00:15:45,705
Okay.
250
00:15:46,746 --> 00:15:48,205
It's nice having him back?
251
00:15:51,496 --> 00:15:54,413
When Vera was young,
just out of law school,
252
00:15:54,496 --> 00:15:58,247
her dad came home
with ten-year-old Cy, out of the blue,
253
00:15:58,330 --> 00:16:00,663
and told Vera she was gonna raise him.
254
00:16:00,746 --> 00:16:02,246
No questions asked.
255
00:16:03,830 --> 00:16:07,496
The whole town knew he was
obviously her illegitimate brother.
256
00:16:08,163 --> 00:16:09,580
But Vera accepted it.
257
00:16:10,538 --> 00:16:11,747
She did it.
258
00:16:11,830 --> 00:16:14,413
I've given up a lot to...
259
00:16:14,496 --> 00:16:19,121
...be loyal to my dad
and to Cy and to Wicks.
260
00:16:20,455 --> 00:16:21,705
So I think that
261
00:16:21,788 --> 00:16:25,205
when my dad
is looking down on me from heaven,
262
00:16:25,288 --> 00:16:28,705
I think he is very...
263
00:16:28,788 --> 00:16:30,580
...pleased with me.
264
00:16:32,955 --> 00:16:34,371
So I guess that's nice.
265
00:16:35,038 --> 00:16:36,038
I came this close.
266
00:16:36,121 --> 00:16:38,663
I was the GOP golden boy, the great hope.
267
00:16:38,746 --> 00:16:41,288
I've got connections and ins and outs.
268
00:16:41,371 --> 00:16:43,497
I was on the cusp,
but I just couldn't engage voters.
269
00:16:43,580 --> 00:16:47,497
I didn't... have that
cult of personality thing, I guess.
270
00:16:47,580 --> 00:16:50,413
It's hard connecting with people
in a genuine way.
271
00:16:50,496 --> 00:16:52,205
-I know.
-Mm-hmm.
272
00:16:52,288 --> 00:16:54,705
I tried everything. Believe me,
I hammered the race thing.
273
00:16:54,788 --> 00:16:56,997
I hammered the gender thing,
the trans thing,
274
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,205
the border thing, the homeless thing,
275
00:16:59,288 --> 00:17:03,205
the war thing, the election thing,
the abortion thing, the climate thing.
276
00:17:03,996 --> 00:17:07,913
Thing about induction stoves,
Israel, library books, vaccines,
277
00:17:07,996 --> 00:17:11,080
pronouns, AK-47s, socialism, BLM,
278
00:17:11,163 --> 00:17:15,080
CRT, the CDC, DEI, 5G, everything.
279
00:17:15,788 --> 00:17:19,788
All of it I did.
Nobody, just nothing.
280
00:17:20,538 --> 00:17:22,663
People are just numb these days.
I don't know why.
281
00:17:22,746 --> 00:17:25,622
Maybe we need to get back
to fundamentals, you know,
282
00:17:25,705 --> 00:17:29,163
basic building blocks
on how to genuinely inspire people.
283
00:17:29,246 --> 00:17:31,288
The basics,
like, show them something they hate
284
00:17:31,371 --> 00:17:34,038
and then make them afraid it's gonna
take away something they love?
285
00:17:35,830 --> 00:17:37,122
Well, no.
286
00:17:37,205 --> 00:17:38,538
Vera.
287
00:17:38,621 --> 00:17:41,330
Nat Sharp, the town's local doctor.
288
00:17:41,413 --> 00:17:43,705
His life revolved around his wife, Darla.
289
00:17:44,371 --> 00:17:45,955
She was his everything.
290
00:17:46,038 --> 00:17:47,872
Darla left me last week.
291
00:17:47,955 --> 00:17:49,705
Oh, I'm sorry.
292
00:17:50,205 --> 00:17:53,080
Took the kids, moved to Tucson
293
00:17:54,246 --> 00:17:56,871
with some guy that she met
on a Phish message board.
294
00:18:00,496 --> 00:18:01,622
Phish the band?
295
00:18:01,705 --> 00:18:03,205
I had no idea.
296
00:18:04,038 --> 00:18:06,872
Dr. Nat was spinning out.
297
00:18:06,955 --> 00:18:10,788
He wasn't successful enough,
rich enough, good enough for her.
298
00:18:10,871 --> 00:18:13,080
He would do anything to get her back.
299
00:18:17,205 --> 00:18:19,830
The closest thing we have
to a local celebrity,
300
00:18:19,913 --> 00:18:22,121
the sci-fi writer Lee Ross.
301
00:18:23,205 --> 00:18:25,351
You probably know
at least some of his books.
302
00:18:25,746 --> 00:18:28,080
{\an8}The Crescent Limbo series,
Ice Pick of Time,
303
00:18:28,163 --> 00:18:29,580
{\an8}The Crystaline Juncture.
304
00:18:30,371 --> 00:18:32,788
Ten years ago,
Lee moved here from New York,
305
00:18:32,871 --> 00:18:35,872
connected with Wicks and the church,
and as he puts it...
306
00:18:35,955 --> 00:18:37,455
Unplugged my brain, you know,
307
00:18:37,538 --> 00:18:42,038
from the... liberal hive mind
and... come here and...
308
00:18:42,955 --> 00:18:46,913
His book sales and popular standing
have been in slow decline ever since.
309
00:18:48,038 --> 00:18:51,372
But he'd spent the last year
writing a massive book about Wicks.
310
00:18:51,455 --> 00:18:52,955
His teachings, my reflections,
311
00:18:53,038 --> 00:18:56,455
essays and recollections
of an acolyte at the feet of a prophet.
312
00:18:56,538 --> 00:18:58,705
The Holy Man and the Troubadour.
313
00:18:58,788 --> 00:19:02,413
I found it a tough read,
but he pinned all of his hopes on it.
314
00:19:02,496 --> 00:19:05,872
This is my last chance ticket
out of Substack hell.
315
00:19:05,955 --> 00:19:08,705
I can't take it anymore.
My readers these days...
316
00:19:09,205 --> 00:19:11,538
I mean, they are survivalist freaks.
317
00:19:11,621 --> 00:19:14,247
They all look like John Goodman
in The Big Lebowski.
318
00:19:18,205 --> 00:19:21,371
This little shitwick, Cy.
319
00:19:22,121 --> 00:19:25,247
He's got his little influencer fangs
in the Monsignor lately.
320
00:19:25,330 --> 00:19:27,997
We don't like him. We're all like,
"Wicks. Be careful,
321
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,246
you gotta shake him off.
He's bad news. Opportunistic poetaster."
322
00:19:33,246 --> 00:19:36,788
We're gonna have to protect Wicks
from these leeching millennials.
323
00:19:36,871 --> 00:19:39,663
Simone was new to town,
and new to the church.
324
00:19:39,746 --> 00:19:43,371
She'd been a world-class cellist.
325
00:19:46,580 --> 00:19:49,580
Forced to retire five years ago
for health reasons.
326
00:19:49,663 --> 00:19:52,497
Chronic pain. Some mysterious nerve thing
327
00:19:52,580 --> 00:19:54,830
-that doctors cannot diagnose.
-Sorry.
328
00:19:54,913 --> 00:19:57,080
I believed they could heal me.
329
00:19:57,163 --> 00:19:58,871
Suckered.
330
00:19:59,371 --> 00:20:00,705
Dipshit moi.
331
00:20:02,246 --> 00:20:04,497
I mean, to take someone's faith
332
00:20:04,580 --> 00:20:06,288
and exploit it for money
333
00:20:08,163 --> 00:20:09,580
is the ultimate evil.
334
00:20:11,830 --> 00:20:13,163
Don't you think it is?
335
00:20:13,246 --> 00:20:15,455
Yeah. Yeah, it's bad.
336
00:20:16,871 --> 00:20:18,996
But I understand wanting to believe.
337
00:20:21,038 --> 00:20:22,580
This feels different, though.
338
00:20:24,413 --> 00:20:26,913
Faith in God to heal me.
339
00:20:29,121 --> 00:20:30,330
This is different.
340
00:20:33,705 --> 00:20:36,330
I feel hopeful now.
341
00:20:38,205 --> 00:20:40,496
Like a miracle could happen.
342
00:20:43,580 --> 00:20:45,996
That's how Monsignor Wicks makes me feel.
343
00:20:56,788 --> 00:20:59,788
The Spirit really moved him today, huh?
344
00:21:01,038 --> 00:21:02,246
Monsignor!
345
00:21:03,163 --> 00:21:04,413
Ah, my warrior.
346
00:21:04,996 --> 00:21:07,997
Wicks kept his core group tight.
347
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,663
And the seductive power
of his charisma was undeniable.
348
00:21:13,746 --> 00:21:14,955
But his method...
349
00:21:15,955 --> 00:21:17,913
Every week, he would pick someone out,
350
00:21:17,996 --> 00:21:20,955
a newcomer usually, and he would attack.
351
00:21:21,038 --> 00:21:24,205
The world wants us all to be okay.
352
00:21:26,038 --> 00:21:29,871
Any of your choices.
Make your choices. They're your choices.
353
00:21:30,371 --> 00:21:31,580
Don't feel bad.
354
00:21:32,288 --> 00:21:33,580
Have that affair.
355
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,205
Tell that lie.
356
00:21:35,288 --> 00:21:37,622
Have that child out of wedlock.
357
00:21:37,705 --> 00:21:40,580
Satisfy your selfish heart.
358
00:21:41,205 --> 00:21:42,538
Selfish.
359
00:21:42,621 --> 00:21:43,746
Yes.
360
00:21:44,288 --> 00:21:47,413
Depriving that child of a family.
361
00:21:48,330 --> 00:21:49,663
Of a father.
362
00:21:50,163 --> 00:21:52,288
An assault on our castle.
363
00:21:52,371 --> 00:21:54,372
The institution of manhood.
364
00:21:54,455 --> 00:21:56,913
My own mother made
that selfish choice with me.
365
00:21:56,996 --> 00:21:59,122
And I curse her selfish heart for it.
366
00:21:59,205 --> 00:22:01,622
Every day of my life.
367
00:22:01,705 --> 00:22:05,872
Putting her needs and wants
before the family God intended.
368
00:22:05,955 --> 00:22:07,246
I am enough!
369
00:22:07,830 --> 00:22:10,413
Me!
370
00:22:10,496 --> 00:22:14,496
Selfish, harlot heart, you are not.
371
00:22:15,288 --> 00:22:16,705
Might as well beat that child.
372
00:22:16,788 --> 00:22:19,455
Yes, might as well starve that child.
373
00:22:19,538 --> 00:22:22,372
Defy the family that the Lord intended.
374
00:22:22,455 --> 00:22:26,371
And watch your child
burn beneath that burden.
375
00:22:29,205 --> 00:22:31,413
This is not the true church.
376
00:22:32,371 --> 00:22:35,372
You ask even the most hardcore
of those in the pews,
377
00:22:35,455 --> 00:22:38,122
they'll say, no,
of course this is not what they believe.
378
00:22:38,205 --> 00:22:40,955
It's Wicks being Wicks,
pushing it too far.
379
00:22:41,038 --> 00:22:44,955
And what he's pushing for
every time is a walkout.
380
00:22:46,455 --> 00:22:47,955
Why does he do this?
381
00:22:48,538 --> 00:22:51,538
Because when that person walks out,
everyone watches.
382
00:22:52,121 --> 00:22:54,788
And even if in the light of day
it's indefensible,
383
00:22:54,871 --> 00:22:58,038
deep down in the dark,
it scratches an itch.
384
00:23:02,330 --> 00:23:05,746
And by staying put in that pew,
a side is taken.
385
00:23:06,996 --> 00:23:08,622
Wicks' side.
386
00:23:08,705 --> 00:23:11,705
Testing tolerances,
tapping deep poisoned wells,
387
00:23:11,788 --> 00:23:13,788
hardening, binding with complicity.
388
00:23:13,871 --> 00:23:17,330
...for a two-run homer
and that brings the Cubs...
389
00:23:17,413 --> 00:23:18,996
Mm.
390
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,580
So I try to offer a counterbalance.
391
00:23:22,663 --> 00:23:26,038
Okay, welcome to our first
Father Jud prayer group.
392
00:23:26,121 --> 00:23:28,663
Um, thank you all for being here.
393
00:23:29,330 --> 00:23:32,038
And this is all about breaking down walls
394
00:23:32,121 --> 00:23:34,621
between us and Christ,
395
00:23:35,330 --> 00:23:38,163
us and each other, us and the world.
396
00:23:39,413 --> 00:23:41,038
When I was 17,
397
00:23:41,538 --> 00:23:42,997
I was a boxer
398
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,663
and I... I... killed a man in the ring.
399
00:23:47,538 --> 00:23:49,455
I built up so many walls of...
400
00:23:50,121 --> 00:23:52,913
of anger, addiction, violence.
401
00:23:54,413 --> 00:23:56,621
It was only when I felt safe enough to...
402
00:23:57,205 --> 00:24:00,955
to put my dukes down, open my arms,
403
00:24:01,038 --> 00:24:03,205
um, confess my deepest sin.
404
00:24:03,871 --> 00:24:06,288
That was the day
that Christ saved my life.
405
00:24:07,038 --> 00:24:09,580
It... He didn't... He didn't transform me.
406
00:24:09,663 --> 00:24:12,372
He sustains me every day.
407
00:24:13,955 --> 00:24:15,538
That's daily bread, right?
408
00:24:17,038 --> 00:24:19,163
I think that's what the church should be.
409
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,496
That's what I want
this church to be, for me
410
00:24:23,163 --> 00:24:24,580
and for all of you.
411
00:24:29,246 --> 00:24:30,758
So...
412
00:24:33,705 --> 00:24:36,121
Monsignor Wicks isn't coming?
413
00:24:38,121 --> 00:24:39,746
No, but...
414
00:24:40,538 --> 00:24:41,455
No.
415
00:24:41,538 --> 00:24:44,622
So, I thought we could just talk
and start sharing and...
416
00:24:44,705 --> 00:24:46,330
But he knows that we're doing these?
417
00:24:46,413 --> 00:24:48,580
Sure, of course. Of course, I'll tell him.
418
00:24:48,663 --> 00:24:50,830
I just... I wanted us
to connect and, uh...
419
00:24:50,913 --> 00:24:53,122
You'll tell him?
You'll... You'll tell him?
420
00:24:53,205 --> 00:24:56,705
Contraction of the simple future tense
meaning you haven't yet
421
00:24:57,330 --> 00:24:58,538
told him?
422
00:24:59,496 --> 00:25:00,830
Why wouldn't you tell him?
423
00:25:00,913 --> 00:25:03,157
-This feels kind of weird.
-Okay, guys.
424
00:25:03,538 --> 00:25:06,538
This is a prayer meeting.
It's... it's not a secret or anything.
425
00:25:06,621 --> 00:25:08,788
-Well, it's a secret prayer meeting.
-No.
426
00:25:08,871 --> 00:25:10,580
That's literally what it is.
427
00:25:10,663 --> 00:25:11,830
I just texted the Monsignor.
428
00:25:11,913 --> 00:25:14,330
Great, so...
it isn't a secret anymore.
429
00:25:14,413 --> 00:25:17,622
Now, if we could get back to breaking
down those walls through Christ's love...
430
00:25:18,746 --> 00:25:21,163
-He says, "What the holy heck?"
-Oh.
431
00:25:21,246 --> 00:25:23,455
-Jeez.
-I'm... I'm sorry. Father,
432
00:25:23,538 --> 00:25:27,538
I came because I thought
this was an official church function.
433
00:25:27,621 --> 00:25:29,830
Only he didn't use the word "heck".
434
00:25:29,913 --> 00:25:31,455
Okay, thank you, Martha.
435
00:25:31,538 --> 00:25:32,872
This is a church function, Vera.
436
00:25:32,955 --> 00:25:34,788
It's at a church.
It's with me. It's official.
437
00:25:34,871 --> 00:25:36,163
-Um...
-Or "holy".
438
00:25:36,246 --> 00:25:38,455
-Show... Can I see that?
-I think I should go.
439
00:25:38,538 --> 00:25:39,538
-Okay.
-Bye.
440
00:25:39,621 --> 00:25:41,497
-Thank you. Uh, Cyrus?
-Yeah.
441
00:25:41,580 --> 00:25:42,455
Oh, wow.
442
00:25:42,538 --> 00:25:44,955
Yeah, sorry, Father.
I don't want to piss him off.
443
00:25:45,663 --> 00:25:47,080
Nice try, guy.
444
00:25:47,163 --> 00:25:48,122
Thanks, Doc.
445
00:25:48,205 --> 00:25:50,622
I'm probably gonna post this tomorrow.
Can I tag you?
446
00:25:50,705 --> 00:25:51,872
I'd prefer you didn't.
447
00:25:51,955 --> 00:25:53,038
I probably will anyway.
448
00:25:53,121 --> 00:25:54,246
I know.
449
00:25:56,705 --> 00:26:00,372
I'm so sorry your little coup failed
this afternoon, Father.
450
00:26:00,455 --> 00:26:02,038
My coup? Martha, really?
451
00:26:02,121 --> 00:26:05,538
If we want to pray
or need to confess something,
452
00:26:05,621 --> 00:26:07,997
we can do it with Monsignor Wicks.
453
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,913
Can you? 'Cause you all seem
scared to death of the guy.
454
00:26:10,996 --> 00:26:13,997
Could you walk into that church
of your own free will
455
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,288
and confess your deepest sin to Wicks,
Martha, without fear?
456
00:26:17,371 --> 00:26:20,747
'Cause... 'cause if not,
this whole place is a whitewashed tomb.
457
00:26:20,830 --> 00:26:23,247
Yes, I could.
458
00:26:23,330 --> 00:26:24,496
Well,
459
00:26:25,705 --> 00:26:27,121
good!
460
00:26:59,663 --> 00:27:03,496
Holy Week, the week
of special services leading up to Easter.
461
00:27:04,455 --> 00:27:07,205
{\an8}It was on Palm Sunday
that I finally broke.
462
00:27:07,288 --> 00:27:10,580
And then, uh...
twice in the shower this week
463
00:27:11,413 --> 00:27:14,871
doing that thing I told you about
where I hold my hand upside down?
464
00:27:16,121 --> 00:27:18,538
Five Our Fathers, five Hail Marys.
465
00:27:19,871 --> 00:27:22,330
Well, we're at nine months now, Jud.
466
00:27:23,871 --> 00:27:28,663
How are you enjoying it here?
Are you breaking down some... walls?
467
00:27:32,330 --> 00:27:36,205
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
It's been a week since my last confession.
468
00:27:40,205 --> 00:27:42,913
I betrayed a fellow priest's privacy.
469
00:27:44,121 --> 00:27:47,538
I know that Martha keeps her
medical bills filed in the office, so...
470
00:27:48,496 --> 00:27:49,705
I went through them.
471
00:27:50,746 --> 00:27:53,372
And I learned you had
a radical prostatectomy five years ago,
472
00:27:53,455 --> 00:27:56,788
making you physically incapable
of an erection.
473
00:27:59,246 --> 00:28:01,663
I can handle whatever this is.
474
00:28:02,205 --> 00:28:05,705
For the past nine months,
I've seen the way you tend this flock,
475
00:28:05,788 --> 00:28:07,122
and I don't like it.
476
00:28:07,205 --> 00:28:08,288
You don't like it?
477
00:28:08,371 --> 00:28:10,205
No, Monsignor, I don't.
478
00:28:10,288 --> 00:28:11,497
Nat Sharp.
479
00:28:11,580 --> 00:28:14,788
Man needs to forgive
and start living his life.
480
00:28:14,871 --> 00:28:17,788
And Christ's love should be
a launching pad for that, and instead,
481
00:28:17,871 --> 00:28:19,580
he's just, every day,
482
00:28:19,663 --> 00:28:22,872
getting more and more angry
and bitter against his ex-wife,
483
00:28:22,955 --> 00:28:24,223
against women.
484
00:28:24,996 --> 00:28:28,247
It's bad. And Lee, he's a storyteller.
485
00:28:28,330 --> 00:28:31,830
And it's like his superpower
has been turned against him.
486
00:28:31,913 --> 00:28:34,788
The only story he tells is,
"The world is out to get me."
487
00:28:34,871 --> 00:28:38,122
He was brilliant funny,
and smart and respected,
488
00:28:38,205 --> 00:28:43,788
and now he's just spinning out
and angry all the time, paranoid.
489
00:28:43,871 --> 00:28:46,996
Did you know he literally
built a moat around his house?
490
00:28:47,580 --> 00:28:48,413
Really?
491
00:28:49,580 --> 00:28:52,413
I mean,
it's mostly symbolic, but yeah.
492
00:28:53,205 --> 00:28:55,122
And Simone, I'm sorry, Monsignor,
493
00:28:55,205 --> 00:28:57,413
but I'm afraid
you've taken advantage of her.
494
00:28:57,496 --> 00:28:59,413
I've seen the donation numbers.
495
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,122
I know how much she's giving,
and the past few months,
496
00:29:02,205 --> 00:29:03,913
she's basically supporting this place.
497
00:29:03,996 --> 00:29:07,705
And yes, I believe in the possibility
of miracles through Christ,
498
00:29:07,788 --> 00:29:09,871
but what you're giving her is not that.
499
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,205
It's transactional, through you,
500
00:29:13,288 --> 00:29:15,727
and God help you,
it makes her feel betrayed again.
501
00:29:16,288 --> 00:29:17,872
God help me. Anything else?
502
00:29:17,955 --> 00:29:20,205
Yeah, why not? Cy Draven.
503
00:29:20,288 --> 00:29:23,663
Doesn't this new YouTube stuff
he's doing worry you?
504
00:29:23,746 --> 00:29:26,163
{\an8}Every week now, he takes clips
from what you say in Mass
505
00:29:26,246 --> 00:29:30,747
{\an8}and plugs them into his political rants.
He's co-opting, and honestly,
506
00:29:30,830 --> 00:29:33,413
{\an8}I think misrepresenting the church
in a dangerous way.
507
00:29:34,663 --> 00:29:38,413
When was the last time
a new person lasted more than one Sunday?
508
00:29:39,038 --> 00:29:40,413
Word's gotten out.
509
00:29:40,996 --> 00:29:42,913
Every week now, it's just this...
510
00:29:42,996 --> 00:29:44,997
this hardened cyst of regulars,
511
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:49,455
and it seems like you're intentionally
keeping them angry and afraid.
512
00:29:50,413 --> 00:29:52,038
Is that how Christ led his flock?
513
00:29:52,121 --> 00:29:54,330
Is that what we're supposed to do?
514
00:30:02,788 --> 00:30:06,455
Right now, you're angry. You should be.
515
00:30:06,538 --> 00:30:08,872
It'd be dangerous if you weren't.
I'd see you're helpless,
516
00:30:08,955 --> 00:30:11,080
and I'd do it again and again.
517
00:30:11,871 --> 00:30:14,163
I'm the world. You're the church.
518
00:30:14,246 --> 00:30:17,205
Stay there. Stay there. Stay.
519
00:30:18,580 --> 00:30:22,038
Aha. Good. Right. Yes.
520
00:30:22,621 --> 00:30:26,705
Anger. Anger lets us fight back,
take back the ground we've lost.
521
00:30:27,288 --> 00:30:29,455
And we've lost so much ground.
522
00:30:30,038 --> 00:30:31,080
And now you're afraid.
523
00:30:31,163 --> 00:30:34,121
Look at those bare-knuckle instincts
coming back. Good!
524
00:30:34,955 --> 00:30:37,330
You're afraid I'm gonna come at you again.
525
00:30:37,413 --> 00:30:40,830
But you're protecting yourself.
526
00:30:43,205 --> 00:30:46,621
Because the world wants to destroy us.
527
00:30:47,580 --> 00:30:51,330
Your version of love
and forgiveness is a sop.
528
00:30:51,413 --> 00:30:54,413
It's going along
to get along with modernity,
529
00:30:54,496 --> 00:30:56,705
not wanting to offend this garbage world.
530
00:30:56,788 --> 00:31:00,121
Meanwhile, they destroy us.
531
00:31:00,788 --> 00:31:05,205
Feminist Marxist whores.
Bit by bit, they do.
532
00:31:07,288 --> 00:31:10,496
But I carry my burden. I hold the line.
533
00:31:12,538 --> 00:31:13,621
And you?
534
00:31:14,830 --> 00:31:17,246
You simpering child from Albany?
535
00:31:19,746 --> 00:31:21,371
Are you gonna get angry
536
00:31:22,455 --> 00:31:23,830
and fight?
537
00:31:32,163 --> 00:31:34,163
You're poisoning this church.
538
00:31:35,330 --> 00:31:37,746
And I'll do whatever it takes to save it.
539
00:31:39,538 --> 00:31:41,371
To cut you out like a cancer.
540
00:31:44,580 --> 00:31:46,996
Five Our Fathers, five Hail Marys.
541
00:32:07,663 --> 00:32:09,663
Christ, you didn't give up on me.
542
00:32:10,246 --> 00:32:12,413
I'm not giving up on this church.
543
00:32:14,913 --> 00:32:16,913
But he was one step ahead of me.
544
00:32:17,746 --> 00:32:20,163
Father Jud's prayer meeting?
545
00:32:20,871 --> 00:32:22,288
I have kept this church.
546
00:32:22,371 --> 00:32:24,080
I have fortified it with the truth of God.
547
00:32:24,163 --> 00:32:27,455
And now the betrayal to find my authority
548
00:32:27,538 --> 00:32:30,663
and faith and life itself challenged,
549
00:32:30,746 --> 00:32:32,913
and from inside my own sanctuary.
550
00:32:35,413 --> 00:32:36,496
Get out!
551
00:32:40,163 --> 00:32:41,788
Wicks' final move.
552
00:32:41,871 --> 00:32:43,705
Open war against me.
553
00:32:46,496 --> 00:32:48,246
I got pretty toasty.
554
00:32:48,830 --> 00:32:51,580
The world's a wolf. You devil.
555
00:32:51,663 --> 00:32:53,371
You devil wolf.
556
00:32:53,871 --> 00:32:55,288
You're a devil wolf.
557
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,288
Shit.
558
00:32:57,788 --> 00:33:01,247
-Oh! Nikolai, I'm sorry. I broke that...
-No, no, no. Don't worry about it.
559
00:33:01,330 --> 00:33:03,747
-...with my hand.
-They're junk lamps. They're junk lamps.
560
00:33:03,830 --> 00:33:05,580
-Come on. Hey, are you good to drive?
-Yeah.
561
00:33:05,663 --> 00:33:06,497
Are you sure?
562
00:33:22,705 --> 00:33:23,913
Hey!
563
00:33:26,705 --> 00:33:27,830
Who's there?
564
00:33:27,913 --> 00:33:28,955
Oh, shit.
565
00:33:30,413 --> 00:33:32,538
And that brings us to Good Friday.
566
00:33:34,705 --> 00:33:35,997
Here we go.
567
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,288
It was a 3:00 p.m. service.
568
00:33:39,205 --> 00:33:40,455
Just the regulars.
569
00:33:41,288 --> 00:33:43,190
There was a strange tension in the air.
570
00:33:43,788 --> 00:33:46,129
I can't recall the homily,
but it felt different.
571
00:33:47,580 --> 00:33:49,955
The anger felt less calculated.
572
00:33:50,955 --> 00:33:51,788
More unhinged.
573
00:33:57,788 --> 00:34:01,372
As always, after the homily,
Wicks was spent,
574
00:34:01,455 --> 00:34:04,746
emotionally and physically,
and needed some time to recover.
575
00:34:06,788 --> 00:34:09,038
He would duck into
the small storage closet
576
00:34:09,121 --> 00:34:12,080
just to the side of the sanctuary
so he'd be out of sight.
577
00:34:13,288 --> 00:34:16,288
He'd fortify himself,
and I would continue the service
578
00:34:16,371 --> 00:34:19,538
until he felt strong enough
to rejoin and take over.
579
00:34:19,621 --> 00:34:22,455
♪ Behold the wood of the cross ♪
580
00:34:22,538 --> 00:34:25,622
♪ On which hung
The salvation of the world ♪
581
00:34:34,538 --> 00:34:35,705
Monsignor?
582
00:34:50,246 --> 00:34:51,330
What's wrong?
583
00:34:53,163 --> 00:34:54,205
Jefferson?
584
00:35:16,663 --> 00:35:17,580
Jud.
585
00:35:20,705 --> 00:35:22,168
There's something in his back.
586
00:35:22,496 --> 00:35:23,813
Wait. Don't touch it.
587
00:35:24,580 --> 00:35:26,043
Don't... don't touch anything.
588
00:35:44,538 --> 00:35:46,580
Satan! Satan struck him down!
589
00:35:46,663 --> 00:35:48,163
-The devil... Satan...
-Martha.
590
00:35:48,246 --> 00:35:49,830
-...struck him down!
-Oh, no.
591
00:35:49,913 --> 00:35:52,788
Martha! Please.
592
00:36:29,580 --> 00:36:32,080
The ambulance took
just five minutes to arrive.
593
00:36:34,455 --> 00:36:36,663
Wicks was pronounced dead
on the scene.
594
00:36:37,371 --> 00:36:40,913
When I joined the others outside,
the police were just arriving.
595
00:36:40,996 --> 00:36:43,830
The devil will not take
that man.
596
00:36:43,913 --> 00:36:46,830
He will rise again
in the glory of the Lord.
597
00:36:47,830 --> 00:36:50,580
This was an insane event
for a tiny town,
598
00:36:50,663 --> 00:36:54,663
and poor Geraldine, the local chief,
was thrown in headlong.
599
00:36:54,746 --> 00:36:56,246
Christ.
600
00:36:57,455 --> 00:37:00,663
Hours of questioning
all through the day Saturday
601
00:37:01,330 --> 00:37:03,955
-until finally...
-You're the only one on stage
602
00:37:04,038 --> 00:37:06,371
with the Monsignor
at the time of his killing.
603
00:37:07,121 --> 00:37:09,163
And you had prior possession
of the wolf-head figurine
604
00:37:09,246 --> 00:37:10,746
attached to the murder weapon.
605
00:37:12,580 --> 00:37:14,955
And you're the only one
at that church who hated his guts.
606
00:37:15,038 --> 00:37:16,872
I... I don't hate any guts.
607
00:37:16,955 --> 00:37:22,246
But it's literally impossible for anyone
to have done this, so I don't...
608
00:37:23,830 --> 00:37:26,913
Oh, I don't know what this is.
609
00:37:31,330 --> 00:37:34,247
All right. Father,
why don't you go get some rest?
610
00:37:34,330 --> 00:37:37,745
But I should warn you before
you walk out of here, the town is talking.
611
00:37:37,913 --> 00:37:40,330
Cy Draven put this up
on his YouTube this morning.
612
00:37:40,413 --> 00:37:42,538
...poisoning this church.
613
00:37:42,621 --> 00:37:44,830
And I'll do whatever it takes to save it.
614
00:37:45,371 --> 00:37:49,205
To cut you out like a cancer.
615
00:37:51,038 --> 00:37:53,413
It's been reposted.
616
00:37:54,913 --> 00:37:56,038
Quite a bit.
617
00:38:31,288 --> 00:38:35,705
I turned on my phone
for two minutes, and that was a mistake.
618
00:38:36,246 --> 00:38:39,746
A flood of messages to the killer priest.
619
00:38:41,955 --> 00:38:45,621
But I wasn't thinking about
getting arrested or defrocked.
620
00:38:46,163 --> 00:38:49,996
I was thinking Wicks had won.
621
00:38:51,205 --> 00:38:54,038
Because in the part of my soul
that cannot lie to Christ,
622
00:38:54,121 --> 00:38:56,955
or myself, or you...
623
00:39:00,413 --> 00:39:03,413
...I was happy the old man was dead.
624
00:39:11,871 --> 00:39:12,955
Jesus.
625
00:39:13,788 --> 00:39:16,371
Help me.
626
00:39:17,413 --> 00:39:19,830
Show me the way through this, please.
627
00:39:24,163 --> 00:39:25,746
Hello?
628
00:39:29,496 --> 00:39:31,121
Oh, I'm sorry. Um...
629
00:39:32,580 --> 00:39:33,996
Are you open?
630
00:39:35,121 --> 00:39:36,205
Always.
631
00:39:36,788 --> 00:39:37,996
You all right?
632
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,580
Yeah. Uh-huh. Sorry.
633
00:39:42,955 --> 00:39:47,788
-Uh, there's no Easter Mass. I'm sorry.
-Oh, I'm...
634
00:39:47,871 --> 00:39:51,538
-You're welcome. Come in. Come in.
-Thank you. Thank you.
635
00:39:51,621 --> 00:39:56,121
I don't want to take you away
from your priestly duties now, do I?
636
00:39:58,496 --> 00:40:01,163
Well... Isn't this something?
637
00:40:01,246 --> 00:40:02,080
Right?
638
00:40:02,163 --> 00:40:06,455
It's... hard to be in here
and not feel His presence.
639
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:08,163
Whose?
640
00:40:09,121 --> 00:40:12,080
Oh. God... Oh. Yeah.
641
00:40:12,163 --> 00:40:13,747
-Yeah.
-You're not a Catholic.
642
00:40:13,830 --> 00:40:16,080
No, very much not, no.
643
00:40:16,955 --> 00:40:18,371
Proud heretic.
644
00:40:19,330 --> 00:40:21,455
I kneel at the altar of the rational.
645
00:40:21,538 --> 00:40:24,580
Uh-huh. You weren't raised in the faith?
646
00:40:25,330 --> 00:40:27,955
My mother is... was, uh,
647
00:40:28,038 --> 00:40:30,955
very, very religious, you know.
648
00:40:32,663 --> 00:40:34,496
-Were you close with her?
-No.
649
00:40:35,330 --> 00:40:39,122
When I was a boy, we, um... But it's...
650
00:40:39,205 --> 00:40:41,205
-Complicated. Family.
-It's complicated.
651
00:40:41,288 --> 00:40:42,788
Yeah. That's right.
652
00:40:47,871 --> 00:40:49,580
How does all this make you feel?
653
00:40:52,871 --> 00:40:54,705
How does it make me feel?
654
00:40:59,288 --> 00:41:00,038
Truthfully?
655
00:41:00,121 --> 00:41:01,288
Sure.
656
00:41:03,621 --> 00:41:05,670
Well, the architecture, that interests me.
657
00:41:06,455 --> 00:41:09,580
I feel the grandeur, the... the mystery,
658
00:41:09,663 --> 00:41:13,455
the intended emotional effect.
It's...
659
00:41:15,830 --> 00:41:21,038
And it's like someone has shone
a story at me that I do not believe.
660
00:41:21,913 --> 00:41:25,497
It's built upon the empty promise
of a child's fairy tale
661
00:41:25,580 --> 00:41:30,247
filled with malevolence
and misogyny and homophobia
662
00:41:30,330 --> 00:41:34,497
and its justified
untold acts of violence and cruelty
663
00:41:34,580 --> 00:41:36,580
while all the while, and still,
664
00:41:36,663 --> 00:41:39,497
hiding its own shameful acts.
665
00:41:39,580 --> 00:41:41,705
So like an ornery mule kicking back,
666
00:41:41,788 --> 00:41:44,997
I want to pick it apart
and pop its perfidious bubble of belief
667
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:50,371
and get to a truth
I can swallow without choking.
668
00:41:57,788 --> 00:42:02,913
The rafter details
are very fine, though. It's...
669
00:42:04,580 --> 00:42:07,330
Listen... you want to kick me out,
you go right ahead.
670
00:42:07,413 --> 00:42:08,580
No, no.
671
00:42:10,038 --> 00:42:11,622
You're being honest, it's good.
672
00:42:11,705 --> 00:42:15,163
Telling the truth can be a belly rub.
673
00:42:15,246 --> 00:42:18,997
Now, I suspect you can't always
be honest with your parishioners.
674
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,330
You can always be honest
by not saying the unhonest part.
675
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:24,955
Yeah.
676
00:42:26,205 --> 00:42:28,205
You're right. It's storytelling.
677
00:42:29,496 --> 00:42:33,038
And this church, it's... it's not
medieval. We're in New York.
678
00:42:33,788 --> 00:42:35,830
It's neo-Gothic 19th century.
679
00:42:35,913 --> 00:42:38,455
It has more in common
with Disneyland than Notre-Dame...
680
00:42:38,538 --> 00:42:40,830
...and the rites and rituals
681
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,705
and costumes, all of it.
682
00:42:44,538 --> 00:42:45,955
It's storytelling.
683
00:42:47,413 --> 00:42:48,496
You're right.
684
00:42:51,371 --> 00:42:52,996
I guess the question is
685
00:42:54,705 --> 00:42:56,830
do these stories convince us of a lie?
686
00:42:58,705 --> 00:43:02,788
Or do they resonate with something
deep inside us that's profoundly true?
687
00:43:05,538 --> 00:43:08,205
That we can't express
any other way...
688
00:43:10,496 --> 00:43:11,913
except storytelling.
689
00:43:15,205 --> 00:43:17,413
Touché. Padre.
690
00:43:25,913 --> 00:43:27,330
-Son.
-I'm sorry.
691
00:43:28,496 --> 00:43:29,705
I just...
692
00:43:30,955 --> 00:43:33,371
I just felt like a priest again,
693
00:43:33,996 --> 00:43:36,121
and now I'm gonna lose that and...
694
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,538
and lose my purpose
and I'm frightened, I...
695
00:43:39,621 --> 00:43:42,122
I don't know how I'll live.
696
00:43:42,205 --> 00:43:43,371
Blanc!
697
00:43:44,121 --> 00:43:46,663
Hey! You found him! Is he...
698
00:43:55,288 --> 00:43:56,205
Who are you?
699
00:43:56,288 --> 00:43:57,913
I probably should have led with this.
700
00:43:57,996 --> 00:44:00,080
My name is Benoit Blanc. I'm a detective.
701
00:44:00,163 --> 00:44:03,663
I've taken an interest
in the murder of Jefferson Wicks.
702
00:44:05,038 --> 00:44:06,788
You're a detective,
so you're with the police?
703
00:44:06,871 --> 00:44:09,080
No, no. I work in a private capacity.
704
00:44:09,163 --> 00:44:12,330
Everyone thinks I did it. I didn't do it.
705
00:44:12,913 --> 00:44:14,872
But in my heart maybe I did,
706
00:44:14,955 --> 00:44:17,455
and the way it happened
was some kind of miracle.
707
00:44:17,538 --> 00:44:18,621
And...
708
00:44:19,121 --> 00:44:21,621
I don't know. I'm lost. I don't know.
709
00:44:22,788 --> 00:44:24,788
Would you allow me to help you?
710
00:44:27,121 --> 00:44:28,122
What?
711
00:44:28,205 --> 00:44:30,955
Your lips are cracked with dehydration.
712
00:44:31,038 --> 00:44:32,538
You haven't slept all night.
713
00:44:33,121 --> 00:44:34,413
You spent it out of doors,
714
00:44:34,496 --> 00:44:37,413
by the state of your pant legs,
on your knees in prayer.
715
00:44:38,163 --> 00:44:41,580
What I see is not a guilty man in torment,
716
00:44:42,330 --> 00:44:45,538
but an innocent man tormented by guilt.
717
00:44:47,163 --> 00:44:48,371
Let me help you.
718
00:44:48,913 --> 00:44:49,705
How?
719
00:44:49,788 --> 00:44:51,788
This was dressed as a miracle.
720
00:44:52,288 --> 00:44:55,705
It's just a murder and I solve murders.
721
00:44:57,496 --> 00:44:59,746
Wait... Were you
722
00:45:00,580 --> 00:45:03,663
the Kentucky Derby thing with the murder
and the guy that they caught
723
00:45:03,746 --> 00:45:05,247
-with the photo-finish camera?
-Yeah.
724
00:45:05,330 --> 00:45:06,496
So you're...
725
00:45:07,330 --> 00:45:08,455
You were on The View.
726
00:45:08,538 --> 00:45:10,163
-Yeah.
-What are you doing here?
727
00:45:10,246 --> 00:45:13,997
I need to come up to speed rapidly
on the events of that Good Friday service
728
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,121
and the goings-on here
at Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude.
729
00:45:17,788 --> 00:45:20,580
Geraldine has graciously
allowed me access.
730
00:45:20,663 --> 00:45:24,830
If you can spare the day
and accompany me on my investigation,
731
00:45:25,455 --> 00:45:28,538
view the body, trace the murder weapon,
inspect the crime scene,
732
00:45:28,621 --> 00:45:32,205
you are in a unique position to assist me.
733
00:45:33,871 --> 00:45:35,080
The body?
734
00:45:40,996 --> 00:45:43,825
Yeah, I've changed my mind.
I don't think I should be here.
735
00:45:44,788 --> 00:45:47,330
Blanc, I'm trusting your process,
but I agree with him.
736
00:45:47,413 --> 00:45:51,497
No, no, no. I want you to get a clear
clinical picture of what happened here.
737
00:45:51,580 --> 00:45:55,663
To see Wicks as he is, a corpse.
Just an empty vessel.
738
00:45:55,746 --> 00:45:59,205
Not the mythologized monster in your mind,
but merely flesh and blood.
739
00:45:59,288 --> 00:46:01,705
Dead from a knife wound we can analyze.
740
00:46:01,788 --> 00:46:04,621
Just... flesh and blood.
741
00:46:05,288 --> 00:46:06,497
Flesh and blood, yeah.
742
00:46:06,580 --> 00:46:09,330
Yes, that's our wiggly wiggly.
743
00:46:09,913 --> 00:46:12,157
-Yeah. Look at that.
-Please stop doing that.
744
00:46:13,205 --> 00:46:15,788
-Tammy. Would you mind flipping the meat?
-Mm.
745
00:46:15,871 --> 00:46:17,413
-Pancake him. Yeah.
-Mm-hmm.
746
00:46:22,038 --> 00:46:23,580
One, two, three.
747
00:46:29,580 --> 00:46:32,622
-Hey! Hey.
-No, no, no. I don't belong here.
748
00:46:32,705 --> 00:46:35,080
I can't be in here,
I don't know why you brought me.
749
00:46:35,163 --> 00:46:36,288
-I can't...
-Hey!
750
00:46:37,496 --> 00:46:38,830
If you want absolution,
751
00:46:38,913 --> 00:46:42,372
you want ever to be a priest again,
then you need to go through this with me.
752
00:46:42,455 --> 00:46:46,122
The real killer is out there.
We've got to find him, nail him, I...
753
00:46:46,205 --> 00:46:47,038
I'm sorry.
754
00:46:47,121 --> 00:46:50,038
I mean, catch him and get your life back.
755
00:46:50,121 --> 00:46:51,413
Father.
756
00:46:52,163 --> 00:46:54,413
I need to know
you understand the situation.
757
00:46:54,496 --> 00:46:57,830
We are not all buddies
running around trying to solve a case.
758
00:46:57,913 --> 00:46:59,538
You are still a suspect.
759
00:46:59,621 --> 00:47:03,705
The point is, you do not need to be here
without a lawyer, do you understand that?
760
00:47:05,580 --> 00:47:08,413
I didn't do this.
761
00:47:09,663 --> 00:47:11,330
If I can help find out who did,
762
00:47:11,996 --> 00:47:14,455
then I'm in, yeah, let's do it, yeah.
763
00:47:14,538 --> 00:47:15,830
Okay.
764
00:47:16,705 --> 00:47:17,830
The body.
765
00:47:17,913 --> 00:47:19,497
Next the murder weapon.
766
00:47:19,580 --> 00:47:20,746
Then the crime scene.
767
00:47:22,038 --> 00:47:23,455
Stick with me.
768
00:47:30,121 --> 00:47:32,747
I'll tell you something,
I don't even like the devil.
769
00:47:32,830 --> 00:47:36,913
You know, Il Diavolo, it sounds classy,
Italian, that's fine, you know,
770
00:47:36,996 --> 00:47:39,122
then my wife, she buys a devil sign,
771
00:47:39,205 --> 00:47:41,122
then she buys the devil lamps
772
00:47:41,205 --> 00:47:44,788
and then people start, "Oh, hey, get him
a devil thing for the bar, he loves it."
773
00:47:44,871 --> 00:47:48,497
And then, you know, uh,
devil, devil, devil, bang, I don't know.
774
00:47:48,580 --> 00:47:50,955
-But that... But that's it, right?
-Yeah.
775
00:47:51,038 --> 00:47:52,163
Oh, yeah.
776
00:47:52,246 --> 00:47:55,122
But, uh...
777
00:47:55,205 --> 00:47:58,705
But you know, it wasn't red though,
it's red now, it's paint.
778
00:47:58,788 --> 00:48:01,246
-Yes, yes, freshly painted.
-I hope. Hmm.
779
00:48:01,830 --> 00:48:05,372
They filled it with some kind of plaster
and stuck the blade in that way.
780
00:48:05,455 --> 00:48:07,830
I'll do
whatever it takes to save it.
781
00:48:07,913 --> 00:48:11,122
To cut you out like a cancer.
782
00:48:11,205 --> 00:48:14,455
Hey, hey, hey. Come on, ixnay.
That's not cool. Come on.
783
00:48:14,538 --> 00:48:16,830
The red devil head thing,
that ended up where?
784
00:48:16,913 --> 00:48:21,497
In the church, I threw it at the church
and it broke a window, I don't know why.
785
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,288
And then
after the Chrism Mass on Monday,
786
00:48:25,371 --> 00:48:27,705
Martha said she found
a small broken window.
787
00:48:27,788 --> 00:48:28,788
Kids.
788
00:48:28,871 --> 00:48:30,288
But nothing else.
789
00:48:30,371 --> 00:48:33,246

Yeah.
798
00:48:58,705 --> 00:48:59,788
Yeah.
799
00:49:03,455 --> 00:49:05,455
Oh. That is, uh...
800
00:49:07,788 --> 00:49:08,996
Dr. Nat.
801
00:49:10,371 --> 00:49:11,580
Oh, f...
802
00:49:13,871 --> 00:49:15,955
Hey.
803
00:49:17,871 --> 00:49:19,288
Just having some lunch.
804
00:49:25,830 --> 00:49:29,372
Nat, I... I can come over later
if... if you want to talk.
805
00:49:29,455 --> 00:49:31,580
I don't think... Yeah, I... Yeah.
806
00:49:31,663 --> 00:49:33,580
I don't think I'd prefer that.
807
00:49:33,663 --> 00:49:35,163
I'd prefer not that.
808
00:49:35,913 --> 00:49:39,163
Ah, there it is.
Here's what you did it with. Huh?
809
00:49:39,705 --> 00:49:41,788
-Come on, Nat.
-"Cut him out like a cancer."
810
00:49:41,871 --> 00:49:43,663
You son of a bitch.
811
00:49:43,746 --> 00:49:45,455
-You tell him, Nat.
-Yeah.
812
00:49:46,663 --> 00:49:49,788
Son of a bitch! Killer priest!
813
00:50:22,246 --> 00:50:23,080
First off,
814
00:50:23,163 --> 00:50:26,122
I owe Detective Elliott a fruit basket
for giving me your number.
815
00:50:26,205 --> 00:50:28,038
I'm just glad to be of service.
816
00:50:28,121 --> 00:50:29,955
Geraldine, you had the foresight
817
00:50:30,038 --> 00:50:32,622
to see that this goes
way beyond normal police work,
818
00:50:32,705 --> 00:50:36,955
this is something
even I have not experienced.
819
00:50:37,038 --> 00:50:41,205
A textbook example
of a perfectly impossible crime.
820
00:50:42,038 --> 00:50:43,580
The stuff of detective fiction.
821
00:50:43,663 --> 00:50:47,080
This should not exist in our real world.
822
00:50:48,121 --> 00:50:49,538
And yet here it is.
823
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:51,496
The holy grail.
824
00:50:52,580 --> 00:50:53,747
I love the passion.
825
00:50:53,830 --> 00:50:56,330
I just need to feel confident
you know this case is solvable.
826
00:50:56,413 --> 00:50:58,788
I'm incapable
of not solving a crime.
827
00:50:59,538 --> 00:51:01,163
That moment of checkmate
828
00:51:02,038 --> 00:51:05,455
when I take the stage
and unravel my opponent's web...
829
00:51:07,205 --> 00:51:08,496
Oh, you'll see. It's fun!
830
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,568
-Great, how do we get there?
-The source,
831
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,663
John Dickson Carr's The Hollow Man.
832
00:51:15,455 --> 00:51:17,622
{\an8}A Golden Age detective novel
833
00:51:17,705 --> 00:51:19,830
and a veritable primer
on the locked-door mystery,
834
00:51:19,913 --> 00:51:21,288
the impossible crime.
835
00:51:23,038 --> 00:51:24,038
Hold up.
836
00:51:32,455 --> 00:51:35,955
Father Jud, once again,
earning your keep.
837
00:51:37,621 --> 00:51:40,163
{\an8}Whose Body?
The Murders in the Rue Morgue.
838
00:51:40,246 --> 00:51:42,663
{\an8}Roger Ackroyd.
The Murder at the Vicarage.
839
00:51:42,746 --> 00:51:48,038
My God, this is practically
a syllabus for how to commit this crime.
840
00:51:48,538 --> 00:51:50,455
And the whole flock is in this group?
841
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:55,705
Who chose these books?
842
00:51:56,371 --> 00:51:57,205
Oprah.
843
00:51:58,413 --> 00:51:59,413
Oprah.
844
00:51:59,913 --> 00:52:01,913
Martha pulls a theme list
from Oprah's site.
845
00:52:01,996 --> 00:52:03,913
Well, this confirms my theory.
846
00:52:04,496 --> 00:52:06,330
The killer certainly imitated
847
00:52:06,413 --> 00:52:09,246
the traditional methods
of a locked-door mystery story.
848
00:52:09,788 --> 00:52:11,913
Which makes things simple.
849
00:52:11,996 --> 00:52:13,288
Book club time.
850
00:52:13,830 --> 00:52:15,246
Come on, kids.
851
00:52:21,830 --> 00:52:24,163
In The Hollow Man,
the detective Gideon Fell
852
00:52:24,246 --> 00:52:29,163
gives a rundown of all possible methods of
a locked-door killing.
853
00:52:29,246 --> 00:52:31,372
So let's line them up and knock them down.
854
00:52:31,455 --> 00:52:33,580
Possibility number one,
855
00:52:33,663 --> 00:52:37,163
Wicks was stabbed with the knife
856
00:52:37,788 --> 00:52:40,121
before entering the closet.
857
00:52:40,705 --> 00:52:44,121
Father Jud, would you take your place
right where you were?
858
00:52:47,288 --> 00:52:49,413
Wicks completes his sermon.
859
00:52:51,163 --> 00:52:52,747
Any device behind him
860
00:52:52,830 --> 00:52:57,913
capable of propelling
a heavy unbalanced dagger into his back...
861
00:53:00,871 --> 00:53:04,955
would have been hidden from the camera
and the witnesses in the nave,
862
00:53:05,580 --> 00:53:09,080
but certainly would have been
witnessed by Father Jud.
863
00:53:10,705 --> 00:53:13,663
No, I didn't see
a knife-shooting robot behind him.
864
00:53:13,746 --> 00:53:16,288
No. Possibility one, nixed.
865
00:53:16,371 --> 00:53:18,288
Possibility two...
866
00:53:20,163 --> 00:53:21,580
He was killed
867
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:23,830
while inside the closet
868
00:53:23,913 --> 00:53:27,621
by someone or something that was
869
00:53:28,371 --> 00:53:30,205
outside the closet.
870
00:53:30,913 --> 00:53:34,413
Like, something shot the knife
into the closet from out here?
871
00:53:34,496 --> 00:53:35,913
No, that's nuts.
872
00:53:35,996 --> 00:53:37,997
Nuts and impossible on several fronts.
873
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:41,080
Possibility two, nixed. Progress!
874
00:53:41,163 --> 00:53:43,247
How many more possibilities
are there?
875
00:53:43,330 --> 00:53:45,413
Not many. Three...
876
00:53:46,246 --> 00:53:49,038
He was killed while inside the closet
877
00:53:49,121 --> 00:53:51,830
by a device that was also
878
00:53:53,121 --> 00:53:54,538
inside the closet.
879
00:53:54,621 --> 00:53:56,830
So something was placed beforehand and,
880
00:53:56,913 --> 00:53:58,538
what, triggered with a remote?
881
00:53:58,621 --> 00:54:00,622
Well, these walls are thick,
882
00:54:00,705 --> 00:54:04,205
but a very strong RF signal
could blast through 'em.
883
00:54:04,955 --> 00:54:07,296
So where would one hide...
884
00:54:07,705 --> 00:54:12,121
...a fully functional
remote-controlled knife-propelling device
885
00:54:12,663 --> 00:54:14,413
in an empty box, mm?
886
00:54:15,205 --> 00:54:16,872
Wicks fell on his stomach.
887
00:54:16,955 --> 00:54:19,663
I remember that clangy thud.
888
00:54:21,663 --> 00:54:24,080
And his face was towards the door,
889
00:54:24,163 --> 00:54:26,212
so he was standing at the back facing out,
890
00:54:27,246 --> 00:54:30,663
so the knife must have
somehow come through the back wall.
891
00:54:31,163 --> 00:54:33,580
Clangy thud. Very good.
892
00:54:34,121 --> 00:54:35,330
However,
893
00:54:36,330 --> 00:54:38,205
Rock of Gibraltar.
894
00:54:39,038 --> 00:54:40,121
What about...
895
00:54:40,621 --> 00:54:43,122
What about a false wall
that was removed later?
896
00:54:43,205 --> 00:54:45,163
Go to town, Father Brown.
897
00:54:45,246 --> 00:54:46,705
What? No, no.
898
00:54:46,788 --> 00:54:48,872
My boys would have noticed a fake wall.
899
00:54:52,830 --> 00:54:56,663
Yeah. And removing it later
would have been no small task.
900
00:54:58,496 --> 00:55:01,246
Nothing else was found
on the floor of this space, yes?
901
00:55:01,913 --> 00:55:04,538
Nope. No, just the red thread.
902
00:55:06,580 --> 00:55:07,913
Wait, what? The...
903
00:55:07,996 --> 00:55:09,705
The red thread?
904
00:55:11,663 --> 00:55:15,288
Two strings of thick red thread
about three inches long, found there
905
00:55:15,371 --> 00:55:17,455
over by the body next to the hip.
906
00:55:19,413 --> 00:55:20,996
So, what's possibility four?
907
00:55:26,205 --> 00:55:27,288
Martha?
908
00:55:28,246 --> 00:55:30,372
-Throw them out.
-Martha?
909
00:55:30,455 --> 00:55:31,747
Throw them out!
910
00:55:31,830 --> 00:55:35,080
To walk this holy place
911
00:55:35,163 --> 00:55:38,497
like some crime scene. Like some
912
00:55:38,580 --> 00:55:42,288
tawdry police show talking of robots!
913
00:55:42,871 --> 00:55:46,288
It's not right, Father,
it isn't, it's not right!
914
00:55:48,913 --> 00:55:51,621
Martha, you should go home, get some rest.
915
00:55:52,163 --> 00:55:53,431
Can I do anything for you?
916
00:55:54,121 --> 00:55:55,163
Leave.
917
00:55:55,871 --> 00:55:57,705
No one wants you here anymore.
918
00:55:58,205 --> 00:56:02,997
You've always hated the Monsignor
and you have nothing but contempt for us.
919
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,497
-That's not true.
-Murder in your heart...
920
00:56:05,580 --> 00:56:07,205
-No.
-...blood on your hands
921
00:56:07,288 --> 00:56:09,288
just like the harlot whore.
922
00:56:09,371 --> 00:56:12,663
Your original sin has stained this place.
923
00:56:13,413 --> 00:56:15,163
False priest!
924
00:56:18,038 --> 00:56:19,621
Sorry.
925
00:56:20,455 --> 00:56:22,538
But, yeah,
if finding the facts with that detective
926
00:56:22,621 --> 00:56:24,962
puts me against you
and this flock then so be it.
927
00:56:27,663 --> 00:56:28,746
Sorry.
928
00:56:39,538 --> 00:56:41,371
Can I use your bag?
929
00:56:42,871 --> 00:56:44,413
Sure. Go ahead.
930
00:56:48,038 --> 00:56:49,455
Are you okay?
931
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:53,372
A fog was clearing.
This was a puzzle that was solvable.
932
00:56:53,455 --> 00:56:56,080
The body, the weapon,
the crime scene, robot-knife guns,
933
00:56:56,163 --> 00:56:59,205
and angles of view
and stone walls and remote controls.
934
00:57:01,663 --> 00:57:02,955
And remote controls.
935
00:57:03,038 --> 00:57:06,497
But it's a new day...
The Cubs...
936
00:57:06,580 --> 00:57:09,330
who would have been
the hero in that game...
937
00:57:09,413 --> 00:57:11,705
But we saw how that went...
938
00:57:11,788 --> 00:57:14,373
You didn't listen to the game
during Friday's service.
939
00:57:14,955 --> 00:57:16,413
On your radio.
940
00:57:16,496 --> 00:57:20,163
I would not. Martha doesn't approve.
941
00:57:21,955 --> 00:57:23,371
So you taped it.
942
00:57:24,038 --> 00:57:25,121
Yep.
943
00:57:26,788 --> 00:57:30,788
Okay. I've overlaid a time stamp
taking into account the broadcast delay.
944
00:57:30,871 --> 00:57:35,122
Dr. Sharp's call to the hospital
happened at 3:47 p.m.
945
00:57:35,205 --> 00:57:37,622
and 90 seconds before that...
946
00:57:43,705 --> 00:57:46,163
So, several things
could have caused that glitch,
947
00:57:46,246 --> 00:57:47,622
but to answer your question, yes,
948
00:57:47,705 --> 00:57:51,205
it is consistent
with a strong burst of RF interference
949
00:57:51,288 --> 00:57:53,830
that you might get
from a souped-up remote control.
950
00:57:53,913 --> 00:57:55,497
Damn.
951
00:57:55,580 --> 00:57:56,497
This is it, right?
952
00:57:56,580 --> 00:57:58,455
This triggered the knife robot.
953
00:57:58,538 --> 00:58:01,330
This has got to be it.
You can... You can solve it now, right?
954
00:58:01,413 --> 00:58:03,830
Did you, um...
Did you sync this up with Cy's footage?
955
00:58:03,913 --> 00:58:07,663
I did, yeah. The iPhone video
has a time stamp. It's very precise.
956
00:58:07,746 --> 00:58:09,747
-Okay. Can you show us please?
-Yeah.
957
00:58:09,830 --> 00:58:10,872
Show us what?
958
00:58:10,955 --> 00:58:13,830
{\an8}♪ On which hung
The salvation of the world ♪
959
00:58:16,955 --> 00:58:18,038
{\an8}Monsignor?
960
00:58:29,413 --> 00:58:30,788
Oh.
961
00:58:30,871 --> 00:58:32,997
So when the RF burst happened,
962
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:35,996
{\an8}he was already on the ground
with a knife in his back
963
00:58:36,621 --> 00:58:38,955
{\an8}and Father Jud was staring right at him.
964
00:58:39,455 --> 00:58:41,163
How does that work?
965
00:58:41,246 --> 00:58:43,955
Well, for the knife robot, it doesn't.
966
00:58:44,038 --> 00:58:46,622
So... this was nothing?
967
00:58:46,705 --> 00:58:47,622
No, no.
968
00:58:47,705 --> 00:58:51,038
This was very much something.
969
00:58:51,121 --> 00:58:53,955
We have all the pieces
laid out before us now.
970
00:58:54,038 --> 00:58:55,163
-We do?
-Yeah.
971
00:58:55,246 --> 00:58:58,455
Consider the origin
of the devil's head, the red thread,
972
00:58:58,538 --> 00:59:02,038
the clangy clunk,
the timing of the RF remote.
973
00:59:03,038 --> 00:59:04,455
It all lines up.
974
00:59:05,580 --> 00:59:07,788
So give us the answer.
975
00:59:08,996 --> 00:59:10,288
I can't.
976
00:59:11,746 --> 00:59:15,205
You said if you had all the pieces,
you would have an answer.
977
00:59:15,288 --> 00:59:16,538
I know. And yet,
978
00:59:16,621 --> 00:59:18,705
with all the pieces on the table,
979
00:59:18,788 --> 00:59:22,038
this crime still truly appears
980
00:59:22,830 --> 00:59:24,038
impossible.
981
00:59:24,871 --> 00:59:26,497
You told me you could solve this.
982
00:59:28,538 --> 00:59:30,121
That's what you do.
983
00:59:31,163 --> 00:59:33,663
I put my faith in you.
984
00:59:33,746 --> 00:59:37,247
Oh, God. Oh, God.
985
00:59:37,330 --> 00:59:41,372
You haven't slept in 36 hours.
I think it's bedtime.
986
00:59:41,455 --> 00:59:42,621
Yeah.
987
00:59:43,246 --> 00:59:45,872
It's been a hell of a day.
Good night, Father Jud.
988
00:59:45,955 --> 00:59:47,580
Come on. I'll drive you back.
989
00:59:56,913 --> 00:59:59,372
You know, you're right.
990
00:59:59,455 --> 01:00:02,163
This can't be impossible.
991
01:00:03,413 --> 01:00:05,246
There must be a piece missing.
992
01:00:06,538 --> 01:00:08,538
And I think I know where to find it.
993
01:00:09,121 --> 01:00:11,788
See, I think there's something in there,
in your head,
994
01:00:11,871 --> 01:00:14,371
that I need to solve this case.
995
01:00:15,038 --> 01:00:17,871
And if I can't shake it loose, I'm sorry,
996
01:00:18,413 --> 01:00:20,830
but I'm gonna have to
go in there and get it.
997
01:00:23,330 --> 01:00:25,246
Okay, you're freaking me out now.
998
01:00:27,330 --> 01:00:29,497
I don't... I don't understand.
999
01:00:29,580 --> 01:00:32,538
{\an8}I don't get how this will help.
You want me to write the story?
1000
01:00:32,621 --> 01:00:34,830
{\an8}Yes, the story.
1001
01:00:34,913 --> 01:00:37,622
{\an8}The story of the Reverend Wicks' murder.
1002
01:00:37,705 --> 01:00:38,788
{\an8}Monsignor Wicks.
1003
01:00:38,871 --> 01:00:40,705
{\an8}Monsignor Jalapeño. I don't care.
1004
01:00:40,788 --> 01:00:44,205
{\an8}I need to see his murder and the events
leading up to it through your eyes.
1005
01:00:44,288 --> 01:00:45,163
{\an8}Starting where?
1006
01:00:45,246 --> 01:00:46,330
{\an8}Oh, wherever you like.
1007
01:00:46,413 --> 01:00:49,622
Just keep it interesting,
keep it moving and spare no detail.
1008
01:00:49,705 --> 01:00:50,997
Blanc, I'm not a writer.
1009
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,163
Take your time. Oh.
1010
01:00:53,705 --> 01:00:56,372
{\an8}I'll be quite comfortable.
1011
01:01:04,121 --> 01:01:07,121
{\an8}So I've spent the past hour
doing exactly that
1012
01:01:07,621 --> 01:01:10,830
{\an8}and now I'll put down this pen
and hand it to you
1013
01:01:11,330 --> 01:01:12,455
{\an8}and I guess, wait
1014
01:01:12,538 --> 01:01:14,455
{\an8}while you read my story
1015
01:01:14,538 --> 01:01:17,580
of the murder
of Monsignor Jefferson Wicks.
1016
01:01:44,163 --> 01:01:45,371
Why'd you do it?
1017
01:01:48,705 --> 01:01:50,205
Better question is,
1018
01:01:50,788 --> 01:01:53,413
why'd I think I could lie to you
and get away with it?
1019
01:01:53,496 --> 01:01:56,205
Oh, no, you didn't lie.
I knew you wouldn't.
1020
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,372
You just didn't say
the dishonest part out loud.
1021
01:02:03,205 --> 01:02:07,622
"When I joined the others outside,
the police were just arriving."
1022
01:02:09,996 --> 01:02:11,705
"Joined the others outside."
1023
01:02:12,205 --> 01:02:14,122
So you stayed inside.
1024
01:02:14,205 --> 01:02:17,038
So you were the only person
with unobserved access
1025
01:02:17,121 --> 01:02:21,580
to the utility closet after the murder,
but before the police searched it.
1026
01:02:23,621 --> 01:02:25,121
Why? I mean...
1027
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:29,288
Why protect him?
1028
01:02:29,371 --> 01:02:31,455
I didn't do it to protect Wicks.
1029
01:02:33,121 --> 01:02:35,372
I did it to save the people
who believe in him
1030
01:02:35,455 --> 01:02:36,872
just a little disillusionment.
1031
01:02:36,955 --> 01:02:39,788
Well, surely everyone knew.
1032
01:02:39,871 --> 01:02:43,372
I mean, it would have been
on his breath after every Mass.
1033
01:02:43,455 --> 01:02:46,413
"Fortified himself."
Oh, clever wording there.
1034
01:02:46,496 --> 01:02:48,663
But everyone must have known.
1035
01:02:48,746 --> 01:02:50,955
The spirit really moved him today, huh?
1036
01:02:51,621 --> 01:02:53,038
No, not everyone.
1037
01:02:53,538 --> 01:02:54,621
Sam.
1038
01:02:55,413 --> 01:02:57,538
The one good person in this whole place.
1039
01:02:57,621 --> 01:02:59,705
Getting sober saved his life.
1040
01:03:01,121 --> 01:03:04,955
I knew the press and police were there.
Why let that be part of the story?
1041
01:03:07,371 --> 01:03:09,788
Wicks had been stabbed.
1042
01:03:09,871 --> 01:03:13,622
I don't know how or by who,
but I... but I knew he'd been stabbed.
1043
01:03:13,705 --> 01:03:15,705
So this had nothing to do with it.
1044
01:03:15,788 --> 01:03:17,913
It was an impulse.
1045
01:03:17,996 --> 01:03:20,538
A little storytelling to protect my flock.
1046
01:03:20,621 --> 01:03:22,247
Oh, bullshit!
1047
01:03:22,330 --> 01:03:26,496
And in protecting their bubble of belief,
you have shielded a killer!
1048
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:30,705
Where is that flask?
1049
01:03:31,996 --> 01:03:34,913
Shit!
1050
01:03:37,538 --> 01:03:39,663
Shit. It's not here.
1051
01:03:40,830 --> 01:03:41,996
Blanc.
1052
01:03:42,955 --> 01:03:44,163
I'm sorry.
1053
01:03:44,788 --> 01:03:46,705
He was stabbed, so I didn't think...
1054
01:03:46,788 --> 01:03:48,913
No. You did not think.
1055
01:03:48,996 --> 01:03:51,288
But we're into the woods now,
so you better start.
1056
01:03:53,371 --> 01:03:55,205
Someone broke into my room.
1057
01:03:56,205 --> 01:03:57,496
It's just hitting me.
1058
01:03:58,038 --> 01:04:00,788
This is devious,
it's calculated against me.
1059
01:04:00,871 --> 01:04:03,288
And now you see
the enemy we're up against.
1060
01:04:05,205 --> 01:04:07,997
You have listened to this flock's stories
with empathy and grace,
1061
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:09,830
but we're done with that now.
1062
01:04:09,913 --> 01:04:11,538
We've wasted enough time.
1063
01:04:11,621 --> 01:04:14,038
Tomorrow we use
the gathering at the burial
1064
01:04:14,121 --> 01:04:15,747
to question them all together.
1065
01:04:15,830 --> 01:04:18,746
We must discover what happened that night.
1066
01:04:19,830 --> 01:04:23,913
And what this flock
of wicked wolves is hiding.
1067
01:04:29,038 --> 01:04:29,996
Mm.
1068
01:04:40,996 --> 01:04:42,413
Betrayed.
1069
01:04:43,413 --> 01:04:44,621
Beaten.
1070
01:04:46,746 --> 01:04:47,955
Mocked.
1071
01:04:48,996 --> 01:04:50,122
Pierced.
1072
01:04:52,288 --> 01:04:53,372
Murdered.
1073
01:04:57,455 --> 01:05:00,080
And left in a hole to rot.
1074
01:05:00,996 --> 01:05:02,080
To be forgotten.
1075
01:05:03,288 --> 01:05:06,121
As with our Savior, so with the church.
1076
01:05:06,788 --> 01:05:10,205
Our church is assailed
by wicked modernity,
1077
01:05:10,288 --> 01:05:12,497
by the enemies of God.
1078
01:05:12,580 --> 01:05:14,580
The harlot whores,
1079
01:05:14,663 --> 01:05:17,997
the vermin who would oppress and silence
1080
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:20,497
and bar us from our rightful place
1081
01:05:20,580 --> 01:05:23,288
as the rulers
of a Christian nation of faith.
1082
01:05:23,788 --> 01:05:26,788
And even as I stand before you
as a warrior of Christ,
1083
01:05:26,871 --> 01:05:30,705
in the armor of God ready to fight
the world to my last breath,
1084
01:05:30,788 --> 01:05:33,413
you shall not pass!
1085
01:05:36,121 --> 01:05:39,205
As our Lord was, I am betrayed by Judas.
1086
01:05:39,746 --> 01:05:41,580
Gentlemen, may I have a moment?
1087
01:05:42,330 --> 01:05:44,247
Judas in many forms.
1088
01:05:45,996 --> 01:05:48,913
Always the true threat comes from within.
1089
01:05:50,371 --> 01:05:52,205
Remember my words.
1090
01:05:53,663 --> 01:05:56,955
On this Good Friday,
remember what's to come.
1091
01:05:57,038 --> 01:05:59,121
Remember, all of you.
1092
01:06:00,746 --> 01:06:03,038
You will rise again.
1093
01:06:04,205 --> 01:06:05,621
It will be okay.
1094
01:06:06,121 --> 01:06:07,746
You will rise again.
1095
01:06:08,371 --> 01:06:09,497
You will rise.
1096
01:06:09,580 --> 01:06:13,038
The hour approaches.
The hour I have warned you about.
1097
01:06:14,621 --> 01:06:17,538
Remember what I have promised you all,
come Easter Sunday.
1098
01:06:17,621 --> 01:06:21,455
For I will make good
on that promise, yes, I will.
1099
01:06:23,496 --> 01:06:25,705
For behold,
though He is struck down,
1100
01:06:25,788 --> 01:06:29,205
the righteous Son of God will rise again.
1101
01:06:29,746 --> 01:06:32,080
Eve's Apple restored to the tree
1102
01:06:32,163 --> 01:06:35,913
and the wealth of His kingdom
and His rising reign.
1103
01:06:36,538 --> 01:06:39,288
And as you gnash your teeth
in the darkness,
1104
01:06:39,371 --> 01:06:40,997
you unfaithful devils,
1105
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:45,497
as you lie cold and forgotten and alone,
1106
01:06:45,580 --> 01:06:50,080
He will rise again to reclaim what is His.
1107
01:06:50,746 --> 01:06:52,371
And strike down the wicked
1108
01:06:53,121 --> 01:06:56,080
and raise His true Son
to the throne of this nation!
1109
01:06:56,163 --> 01:06:59,372
Yes, He will rise! Yes, He will rise!
1110
01:06:59,455 --> 01:07:02,080
Yes, tremble in fear,
1111
01:07:02,163 --> 01:07:07,663
for He will rise again in glory
and vengeance and power!
1112
01:07:17,621 --> 01:07:21,084
Sorry about your loss, Father.
Here, sign on the bottom.
1113
01:07:21,746 --> 01:07:23,038
Listen, between you and me,
1114
01:07:23,121 --> 01:07:26,455
I don't care what the Internet says.
I think there's a chance you didn't do it.
1115
01:07:29,746 --> 01:07:31,872
All right, everyone. Listen up.
1116
01:07:31,955 --> 01:07:34,205
Oh, would you look who it is.
It's Judas Jud.
1117
01:07:34,288 --> 01:07:37,163
Father, you are not welcome here.
1118
01:07:37,246 --> 01:07:38,455
All right, stop!
1119
01:07:38,538 --> 01:07:39,747
Here's what's gonna happen.
1120
01:07:39,830 --> 01:07:42,413
Benoit fricken' Blanc and I are
gonna ask you all some questions,
1121
01:07:42,496 --> 01:07:45,663
you'll answer them and we'll get to
the bottom of who killed Monsignor Wicks
1122
01:07:45,746 --> 01:07:48,080
and why and then...
1123
01:07:48,871 --> 01:07:50,205
That's it!
1124
01:07:50,288 --> 01:07:53,205
Okay? Okay, so...
1125
01:07:54,996 --> 01:07:57,038
Thank you, Father Jud, that was
1126
01:07:57,121 --> 01:07:58,288
very good. Um,
1127
01:07:58,371 --> 01:07:59,997
and we're gonna start...
1128
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:04,163
...with what happened that night
right here in this very room.
1129
01:08:04,246 --> 01:08:07,288
You mean the time Jud admitted
to all of us that he killed a man.
1130
01:08:07,371 --> 01:08:10,413
Okay, no, that was...
That was the boxing thing, I was...
1131
01:08:10,496 --> 01:08:13,455
And now he's covering his ass
by attacking us. He's a PINO.
1132
01:08:13,538 --> 01:08:14,497
A... a PINO?
1133
01:08:14,580 --> 01:08:16,163
Priest in name only.
1134
01:08:16,246 --> 01:08:20,372
Helping Benoit Blanc
crack the mystery of the evil, evil church
1135
01:08:20,455 --> 01:08:23,705
and then some libtard
will make a podcast about all of this
1136
01:08:23,788 --> 01:08:27,705
and before you know it, the idiot versions
of all of us will end up on Netflix.
1137
01:08:27,788 --> 01:08:30,497
Oh, the idiot versions. God forbid.
1138
01:08:31,913 --> 01:08:33,288
Jesus!
1139
01:08:33,371 --> 01:08:34,871
It's a miracle!
1140
01:08:36,121 --> 01:08:38,996
-I can walk, Martha. It just hurts.
-Oh.
1141
01:08:40,038 --> 01:08:41,955
-Oh.
-And I say, good.
1142
01:08:42,621 --> 01:08:43,830
Expose it all.
1143
01:08:44,371 --> 01:08:46,121
Wicks was a con man.
1144
01:08:46,871 --> 01:08:50,288
Miracles and supernatural
power of God bullshit.
1145
01:08:50,871 --> 01:08:53,080
I really believed.
1146
01:08:54,955 --> 01:08:56,497
I still wanna believe.
1147
01:08:56,580 --> 01:08:58,371
How sick is that?
1148
01:08:58,871 --> 01:09:03,038
Well, actually, I was inquiring
not about Jud's prayer group,
1149
01:09:03,121 --> 01:09:05,538
but about the shadowy meeting with Wicks
1150
01:09:05,621 --> 01:09:08,705
that took place in this room
on Palm Sunday.
1151
01:09:12,955 --> 01:09:16,496
What was
that meeting actually about?
1152
01:09:18,538 --> 01:09:20,371
Who wants to go first?
1153
01:09:21,705 --> 01:09:22,913
I'll tell you.
1154
01:09:26,121 --> 01:09:29,080
-Cy. Hey. Wait, hold on, buddy. Hey!
-No, no, no.
1155
01:09:29,163 --> 01:09:30,913
You shut your mouth,
you little shit weasel.
1156
01:09:30,996 --> 01:09:32,705
-It isn't your decision!
-Tell him nothing!
1157
01:09:32,788 --> 01:09:34,538
Hey, look... Whoa. Easy, Father Jud.
1158
01:09:34,621 --> 01:09:36,622
I promise you that
what we talked about that night
1159
01:09:36,705 --> 01:09:39,205
has nothing to do
with Wicks' killing, okay?
1160
01:09:39,288 --> 01:09:42,080
But it does have to do with things that,
if made public,
1161
01:09:42,163 --> 01:09:43,622
could ruin people in this room.
1162
01:09:43,705 --> 01:09:46,413
I recorded the whole thing. Just hit play.
1163
01:09:48,955 --> 01:09:50,872
-No! This is not...
-You scoundrel!
1164
01:09:50,955 --> 01:09:54,413
-Open this door, you bastard!
-You are defiling my files!
1165
01:09:54,496 --> 01:09:56,247
-Play it.
-Open it...
1166
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:09,496
All right. Very dramatic, Vera.
1167
01:10:10,496 --> 01:10:12,594
You've got your audience.
What's this about?
1168
01:10:16,288 --> 01:10:18,496
I've been thinking about your mom.
1169
01:10:19,955 --> 01:10:24,788
I never knew her,
but growing up in this church,
1170
01:10:24,871 --> 01:10:28,080
I knew the story of the harlot whore
1171
01:10:28,163 --> 01:10:31,580
and I've been thinking about
what her life must have been like
1172
01:10:31,663 --> 01:10:35,705
to be trapped in a house,
with her father and her son.
1173
01:10:36,538 --> 01:10:39,622
Closing rank, shaming her
1174
01:10:39,705 --> 01:10:42,205
and teaching us all to shame her.
1175
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:45,496
That poor girl.
1176
01:10:51,788 --> 01:10:56,705
Yesterday, I got a call
from a family law colleague in Brooklyn.
1177
01:10:57,455 --> 01:11:00,580
He wanted to
double-check contact details
1178
01:11:00,663 --> 01:11:04,372
for Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, my client,
1179
01:11:04,455 --> 01:11:08,621
because my client
had filed an AOP with him.
1180
01:11:09,580 --> 01:11:10,788
In Brooklyn.
1181
01:11:11,538 --> 01:11:13,746
So I would not know.
1182
01:11:14,788 --> 01:11:16,330
What's an AOP?
1183
01:11:19,705 --> 01:11:22,121
"Acknowledgement of parentage"?
1184
01:11:25,455 --> 01:11:28,163
"Affirmation that I, Jefferson Wicks,
1185
01:11:28,246 --> 01:11:31,705
am the biological father of Cyrus Draven."
1186
01:11:36,746 --> 01:11:39,163
No shame for you.
1187
01:11:40,205 --> 01:11:42,038
Right?
1188
01:11:42,121 --> 01:11:43,746
Who was the mother?
1189
01:11:45,288 --> 01:11:46,913
Does it even matter?
1190
01:11:47,538 --> 01:11:53,371
No. No! No, she came back
and dropped this poor kid in your lap.
1191
01:11:53,996 --> 01:11:56,247
And then she went and had a life.
1192
01:11:56,330 --> 01:11:59,830
And my faithful father came to the rescue.
1193
01:11:59,913 --> 01:12:04,247
Once again, the boys club closed ranks
and there I was, the loyal little idiot.
1194
01:12:04,330 --> 01:12:05,538
Trapped.
1195
01:12:05,621 --> 01:12:10,872
And I obeyed
and I honored and raised your son
1196
01:12:10,955 --> 01:12:14,038
while you sat on your pulpit, shameless.
1197
01:12:14,121 --> 01:12:17,913
You... hypocritical son of a bitch!
1198
01:12:22,996 --> 01:12:24,163
Cy?
1199
01:12:24,788 --> 01:12:25,705
Did you know?
1200
01:12:25,788 --> 01:12:27,871
Not until Vera told me this morning.
1201
01:12:28,538 --> 01:12:29,455
Yes.
1202
01:12:30,371 --> 01:12:31,996
Cy is my son.
1203
01:12:34,705 --> 01:12:36,455
From a loose woman of no importance
1204
01:12:36,538 --> 01:12:39,330
who I knew for one night
and haven't seen in 30 years.
1205
01:12:39,413 --> 01:12:42,496
Vera's father and I kept this secret.
But no longer.
1206
01:12:43,038 --> 01:12:44,705
He is my heir.
1207
01:12:46,121 --> 01:12:47,205
My son.
1208
01:12:49,705 --> 01:12:51,830
Now the world is going to know it.
1209
01:12:53,288 --> 01:12:55,496
So, rats,
1210
01:12:56,580 --> 01:12:57,871
flee the sinking ship.
1211
01:13:01,163 --> 01:13:02,622
Oh, cut the shit.
1212
01:13:02,705 --> 01:13:04,497
You're all standing by your man.
1213
01:13:04,580 --> 01:13:07,872
I just wanted to see it.
I wanted to see for myself.
1214
01:13:07,955 --> 01:13:10,872
You eat his shit with a spoon
and come back for seconds.
1215
01:13:10,955 --> 01:13:12,747
That's kind of condescending, Vera.
1216
01:13:12,830 --> 01:13:14,788
-You don't know what we're feeling.
-Oh.
1217
01:13:14,871 --> 01:13:18,996
I think we're all, as Christians,
very shaken up by what you just said.
1218
01:13:20,996 --> 01:13:23,622
But we're fighting an existential war here
1219
01:13:23,705 --> 01:13:25,747
where the end justifies the means.
1220
01:13:25,830 --> 01:13:27,663
The church doesn't need
some pussy who's gonna
1221
01:13:27,746 --> 01:13:29,788
lie down and take it, we need a warrior.
1222
01:13:29,871 --> 01:13:31,497
We need a warrior
1223
01:13:31,580 --> 01:13:35,746
and I believe that God chose
Monsignor Wicks to be His warrior.
1224
01:13:36,496 --> 01:13:39,330
So, you and your son have my sword.
1225
01:13:40,038 --> 01:13:41,080
And...
1226
01:13:42,163 --> 01:13:43,788
we don't know this woman.
1227
01:13:44,788 --> 01:13:46,413
We do not know her.
1228
01:13:46,996 --> 01:13:49,621
We do not know, right, how she...
1229
01:13:51,621 --> 01:13:54,163
What is truth? Right?
With various sources.
1230
01:13:54,246 --> 01:13:56,705
We don't know that... We don't...
What exists?
1231
01:13:56,788 --> 01:13:58,413
Does any of this exist?
1232
01:13:58,496 --> 01:14:01,122
So...
1233
01:14:01,205 --> 01:14:02,497
Well said, Doc.
1234
01:14:02,580 --> 01:14:03,830
Thank you.
1235
01:14:04,538 --> 01:14:07,465
You promised if I stuck with you,
you could heal me.
1236
01:14:08,371 --> 01:14:09,580
If that's true,
1237
01:14:10,121 --> 01:14:11,746
I don't need you to be a saint.
1238
01:14:12,246 --> 01:14:14,100
We're with you, Monsignor Wicks.
1239
01:14:14,455 --> 01:14:18,913
And literally nothing that you say or do
is gonna change that.
1240
01:14:25,913 --> 01:14:28,746
I will give my final service
1241
01:14:30,163 --> 01:14:32,580
a week from today on Easter Sunday.
1242
01:14:33,871 --> 01:14:35,288
And then
1243
01:14:36,038 --> 01:14:39,872
I will close the doors
of this sad little church for good.
1244
01:14:43,330 --> 01:14:47,580
But not before I have destroyed
each and every one of you.
1245
01:14:50,746 --> 01:14:51,955
Sorry. Wait, what?
1246
01:14:52,038 --> 01:14:53,455
Your drinking, Nat?
1247
01:14:53,538 --> 01:14:54,747
Yeah. What?
1248
01:14:54,830 --> 01:14:56,663
Oh, you're a dangerous man.
1249
01:14:57,413 --> 01:14:58,747
Going to work drunk.
1250
01:14:58,830 --> 01:15:01,996
Treating patients, children, while drunk.
1251
01:15:02,788 --> 01:15:04,538
This community should know.
1252
01:15:04,621 --> 01:15:06,705
The medical board should know.
1253
01:15:06,788 --> 01:15:11,246
No one must ever trust or hire you again.
1254
01:15:11,871 --> 01:15:12,955
And, Lee.
1255
01:15:13,580 --> 01:15:16,497
This, uh, Troubadour book
you've been writing.
1256
01:15:16,580 --> 01:15:21,288
Its boot licking idiocy
is an affront to my ministry.
1257
01:15:21,371 --> 01:15:25,205
It... It's my duty to warn
not only the public but...
1258
01:15:25,288 --> 01:15:27,288
...my friends in the publishing world.
1259
01:15:27,371 --> 01:15:30,330
It must be buried. You must be buried.
1260
01:15:30,913 --> 01:15:34,455
Exposed as the irrelevant clown
that you are.
1261
01:15:34,538 --> 01:15:36,955
What the hell?
What is even happening right now?
1262
01:15:37,038 --> 01:15:38,205
And, Vera.
1263
01:15:38,746 --> 01:15:41,080
You are your father's nightmare.
1264
01:15:41,871 --> 01:15:43,496
He would be so ashamed.
1265
01:15:45,413 --> 01:15:48,496
Simone. I cannot heal a faithless woman.
1266
01:15:49,205 --> 01:15:50,538
I cannot help you.
1267
01:15:50,621 --> 01:15:53,122
You said you could cast it out of me.
1268
01:15:53,205 --> 01:15:55,080
Mm, I promised you nothing.
1269
01:15:56,246 --> 01:15:58,788
I've given you all of my savings.
1270
01:15:58,871 --> 01:16:01,038
You cannot buy God's healing.
1271
01:16:01,830 --> 01:16:03,580
You will never be healed.
1272
01:16:03,663 --> 01:16:06,580
You will die in pain
in the prison of that chair.
1273
01:16:07,205 --> 01:16:10,163
Why are you doing this?
I don't understand.
1274
01:16:10,246 --> 01:16:13,413
-This is a joke. Right? A joke.
-I am so confused.
1275
01:16:13,496 --> 01:16:16,747
Is this payback for the Father Jud prayer
meeting because he ambushed us.
1276
01:16:16,830 --> 01:16:18,496
Father Jud's prayer meeting?
1277
01:16:19,955 --> 01:16:21,788
I have kept this church.
1278
01:16:21,871 --> 01:16:23,997
I have fortified it with the truth of God.
1279
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:27,913
And now the betrayal to find my authority
1280
01:16:27,996 --> 01:16:31,288
and faith and life itself challenged...
1281
01:16:31,371 --> 01:16:33,871
...and from inside my own sanctuary!
1282
01:16:36,413 --> 01:16:37,621
Get out!
1283
01:16:39,580 --> 01:16:41,830
Weak.
1284
01:16:42,663 --> 01:16:43,997
All of you.
1285
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:46,288
You can't follow my path.
1286
01:16:46,371 --> 01:16:48,580
Yes, we are at war
1287
01:16:48,663 --> 01:16:51,205
and I cast you out of my fortress.
1288
01:16:51,788 --> 01:16:52,913
You son of a bitch.
1289
01:16:52,996 --> 01:16:55,872
On Easter Sunday,
when the pews fill with townspeople,
1290
01:16:55,955 --> 01:16:58,372
I will lay bare the sins of this flock.
1291
01:16:58,455 --> 01:17:02,955
Cut you loose and shake the dust
of this place off of my sandals.
1292
01:17:04,163 --> 01:17:05,371
And to hell
1293
01:17:06,705 --> 01:17:07,705
with you all.
1294
01:17:21,496 --> 01:17:25,580
-Well, glory be.
-That cleared the room.
1295
01:17:25,663 --> 01:17:26,830
Cy.
1296
01:17:28,121 --> 01:17:30,122
Why'd he do that?
1297
01:17:30,205 --> 01:17:32,455
Cy. Tell me. What was happening?
1298
01:17:32,538 --> 01:17:34,913
Why'd he torch them all?
Why would he do that?
1299
01:17:34,996 --> 01:17:36,413
Because I told him to.
1300
01:17:37,371 --> 01:17:39,996
When Vera told me the truth,
I went and found him.
1301
01:17:40,871 --> 01:17:44,080
And he embraced me as a son
for the first time in my life.
1302
01:17:44,830 --> 01:17:46,746
He unburdened himself.
1303
01:17:47,455 --> 01:17:49,455
I hate this place.
1304
01:17:50,621 --> 01:17:53,038
I hate this sad flock of losers.
1305
01:17:53,871 --> 01:17:55,496
I want to get out.
1306
01:17:56,288 --> 01:17:57,913
And now, finally...
1307
01:17:59,038 --> 01:18:00,246
I can.
1308
01:18:02,038 --> 01:18:03,246
He told me,
1309
01:18:04,038 --> 01:18:06,788
his grandfather's family fortune,
lost all these years,
1310
01:18:06,871 --> 01:18:09,080
he told me he found it. Just this week.
1311
01:18:09,163 --> 01:18:10,997
No. No, that money is gone.
1312
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:14,788
Nobody knows where Prentice put it,
but it's gone without a trace.
1313
01:18:14,871 --> 01:18:17,497
He told me he found it.
1314
01:18:17,580 --> 01:18:20,705
He was gonna shutter this dump
and retire in filthy wealth.
1315
01:18:21,371 --> 01:18:24,413
And I told him, "Are you nuts?"
1316
01:18:24,496 --> 01:18:27,288
Retire? Do you know the power
of what you do on that stage?
1317
01:18:27,371 --> 01:18:28,622
I've shrunk the flock.
1318
01:18:28,705 --> 01:18:30,455
No. You've radicalized them.
1319
01:18:31,121 --> 01:18:32,163
That is power.
1320
01:18:32,955 --> 01:18:36,872
In a small town, there are only so many
witches to burn and zealots to activate.
1321
01:18:36,955 --> 01:18:39,372
Your flame lacks fuel.
1322
01:18:39,455 --> 01:18:40,955
But on the Internet,
1323
01:18:41,455 --> 01:18:42,663
wildfire.
1324
01:18:43,955 --> 01:18:45,163
This money.
1325
01:18:45,955 --> 01:18:48,705
Your cult of personality.
Are you kidding me?
1326
01:18:48,788 --> 01:18:50,330
Give me four years.
1327
01:18:50,413 --> 01:18:51,913
You could be president.
1328
01:18:52,996 --> 01:18:55,121
Together we can build a real empire.
1329
01:18:56,330 --> 01:18:59,330
As father and son.
1330
01:19:01,746 --> 01:19:03,080
Like in Star Wars?
1331
01:19:03,163 --> 01:19:05,955
-Yeah. Exactly, like the Rebels.
-Oh.
1332
01:19:06,038 --> 01:19:09,455
His ministry and my political instincts
fueled by enough money.
1333
01:19:09,538 --> 01:19:11,928
Can you imagine
what we could do in Christ's name?
1334
01:19:12,580 --> 01:19:14,122
Yeah. Yeah, I think I can.
1335
01:19:14,205 --> 01:19:17,538
First, I told him,
and I'll admit this is a little personal,
1336
01:19:17,621 --> 01:19:20,372
first I told him
we need to burn this flock.
1337
01:19:20,455 --> 01:19:21,830
They're a liability.
1338
01:19:21,913 --> 01:19:24,038
If they associate themselves with us,
1339
01:19:24,121 --> 01:19:26,997
show up on cable news,
even want a place in this thing...
1340
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:29,413
We need to burn them off like leeches.
1341
01:19:30,330 --> 01:19:32,135
That's why he torched them all.
1342
01:19:32,621 --> 01:19:34,455
'Cause of your petty vindictiveness.
1343
01:19:35,038 --> 01:19:38,062
One of them might have killed him for it.
You know that, right?
1344
01:19:38,163 --> 01:19:40,996
Getting back to this vast fortune.
1345
01:19:41,580 --> 01:19:42,788
So it's yours now?
1346
01:19:42,871 --> 01:19:44,705
-Technically, yes.
-Technically?
1347
01:19:45,288 --> 01:19:47,496
-He didn't tell you where it was.
-No.
1348
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:50,288
His accounts are empty. There's nothing.
1349
01:19:51,163 --> 01:19:52,038
So where is it?
1350
01:19:52,788 --> 01:19:55,288
And then, I realized, 50 years ago,
1351
01:19:55,371 --> 01:19:59,205
what was the safest way
for Prentice to hide $80 million?
1352
01:19:59,788 --> 01:20:02,580
-A Swiss bank account.
-Aha!
1353
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:06,496
And so all you need to do
is find that account number.
1354
01:20:07,413 --> 01:20:08,747
No luck there?
1355
01:20:08,830 --> 01:20:11,580
It has to be
written down somewhere.
1356
01:20:11,663 --> 01:20:13,913
Martha files everything and it isn't here.
1357
01:20:13,996 --> 01:20:15,288
I don't know.
1358
01:20:15,871 --> 01:20:18,663
Here. I thought it might be a code
because he kept saying,
1359
01:20:18,746 --> 01:20:20,538
"Eve's Apple
would be restored to the tree."
1360
01:20:20,621 --> 01:20:24,205
{\an8}That was a thing.
As if Eve's Apple is the fortune.
1361
01:20:24,288 --> 01:20:26,747
{\an8}But a Swiss account,
we're looking for 19 numbers,
1362
01:20:26,830 --> 01:20:28,121
so it doesn't work.
1363
01:20:28,663 --> 01:20:30,788
Vera, did he ever tell you anything?
1364
01:20:31,663 --> 01:20:34,788
Even if he did, I would go to my grave
before giving it to you.
1365
01:20:35,580 --> 01:20:36,663
Yeah.
1366
01:20:37,746 --> 01:20:40,913
You'd have done anything to keep
the prodigal son from getting the fortune.
1367
01:20:40,996 --> 01:20:42,288
It burns you up.
1368
01:20:42,996 --> 01:20:44,413
You bitter hag.
1369
01:20:45,455 --> 01:20:46,871
That money
1370
01:20:47,455 --> 01:20:52,871
is one psalm in the Bible
of my bitterness, you fucking child.
1371
01:20:53,538 --> 01:20:57,621
You should come and get your shit,
it'll be out on the street.
1372
01:21:03,205 --> 01:21:06,622
You. You're a detective. I'll pay you.
I don't care, this is very important,
1373
01:21:06,705 --> 01:21:09,538
my inheritance
and future political career depends on it.
1374
01:21:09,621 --> 01:21:11,747
Can you think of anything
1375
01:21:11,830 --> 01:21:15,330
related to Eve's Apple
that might contain that number?
1376
01:21:17,288 --> 01:21:20,371
Oh, um... Mm-mm.
1377
01:21:20,996 --> 01:21:22,747
But if you think of anything,
you'll call me?
1378
01:21:22,830 --> 01:21:24,913
-Oh, yeah. You bet.
-All right.
1379
01:21:32,288 --> 01:21:33,621
We should look everywhere.
1380
01:21:38,538 --> 01:21:41,621
It might be, uh, sewn in the lining.
1381
01:21:42,246 --> 01:21:44,538
Etched in the metal.
1382
01:22:04,955 --> 01:22:06,246
This is hollow.
1383
01:22:06,830 --> 01:22:08,246
Yeah. Do it.
1384
01:22:29,705 --> 01:22:31,247
Remind me to file this.
1385
01:22:31,330 --> 01:22:32,621
File that.
1386
01:22:33,871 --> 01:22:35,747
-It doesn't make sense.
-I know.
1387
01:22:35,830 --> 01:22:37,872
An 80-million-dollar fortune.
1388
01:22:37,955 --> 01:22:39,705
But if Eve's Apple is the fortune
1389
01:22:39,788 --> 01:22:43,105
and it's not a pile of cash
in a Swiss account somewhere, what is it?
1390
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:47,830
What?
1391
01:22:47,913 --> 01:22:50,080
They must have
misprinted the date on this.
1392
01:22:51,163 --> 01:22:54,663
It says the crypt opening thing
was ordered last Wednesday.
1393
01:22:55,330 --> 01:22:56,746
That can't be right.
1394
01:22:58,621 --> 01:23:01,830
Who would preorder burial equipment
for a man who isn't dead?
1395
01:23:03,205 --> 01:23:06,247
Someone who knew with great certainty
when their day and hour would come.
1396
01:23:06,330 --> 01:23:07,621
Give me that.
1397
01:23:08,663 --> 01:23:11,372
Oh, that's computer printed.
That's not a misprint. That's it.
1398
01:23:11,455 --> 01:23:13,913
Whoever called in that order,
that's the key.
1399
01:23:13,996 --> 01:23:15,580
Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
1400
01:23:19,413 --> 01:23:21,455
Steel Wheels Construction. This is Louise.
1401
01:23:21,538 --> 01:23:24,221
Hello, Louise. It's Father Jud
from Perpetual Fortitude.
1402
01:23:25,330 --> 01:23:27,413
-Oh. Hello.
-Hi, Louise.
1403
01:23:27,496 --> 01:23:29,913
We had a piece
of your construction equipment here today.
1404
01:23:29,996 --> 01:23:32,580
-Uh, a forklift to open a, um... a crypt.
-Oh, yeah. I know.
1405
01:23:32,663 --> 01:23:35,038
It's not too often
we get a crypt opening order.
1406
01:23:35,121 --> 01:23:36,455
Great. So I need to know...
1407
01:23:36,538 --> 01:23:38,872
I actually processed that order.
I do all the processing.
1408
01:23:38,955 --> 01:23:40,622
Yeah. What I need to know, Louise, is...
1409
01:23:40,705 --> 01:23:42,705
-I run this place with my brother James.
-Right.
1410
01:23:42,788 --> 01:23:44,913
-He takes orders but I process them.
-Yeah. Right.
1411
01:23:44,996 --> 01:23:46,997
So the reason I'm
calling, Louise, is to...
1412
01:23:47,080 --> 01:23:49,830
I've been to that church of yours,
but I don't think you were there.
1413
01:23:49,913 --> 01:23:52,913
-No, I... I'm new, relatively new here.
-Congratulations.
1414
01:23:52,996 --> 01:23:55,747
-Louise, I... I have to ask...
-No, it was an older guy.
1415
01:23:55,830 --> 01:23:58,205
-Father... Is he...
-Monsignor, Monsignor.
1416
01:23:58,288 --> 01:24:00,038
-Father Monsignor, okay, well...
-Louise...
1417
01:24:00,121 --> 01:24:03,622
He was preaching when I went and
I gotta tell you, that is not a nice man.
1418
01:24:03,705 --> 01:24:06,497
-But I am sorry that he...
-Okay.
1419
01:24:06,580 --> 01:24:08,997
...yikes, died and,
you know, for all y'all's loss...
1420
01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:11,497
Yeah, it's a terrible tragedy
for everyone, Louise.
1421
01:24:11,580 --> 01:24:13,997
Can I... I have to, uh, interrupt.
1422
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:16,080
-I have a question.
-Yeah.
1423
01:24:16,163 --> 01:24:19,538
Uh, the order for the forklift.
I need to know who placed the order.
1424
01:24:19,621 --> 01:24:22,038
-James takes the orders and...
-James takes the orders.
1425
01:24:22,121 --> 01:24:24,705
-...he's left for the day.
-Can I have James' number?
1426
01:24:24,788 --> 01:24:27,413
This is very important. We need to
find out who placed that order.
1427
01:24:27,496 --> 01:24:30,872
-No, no. I don't think I can do that...
-No, it's very important.
1428
01:24:30,955 --> 01:24:33,080
-Excuse me, Father.
-It's very...
1429
01:24:33,163 --> 01:24:35,163
What I can do, as I was saying,
1430
01:24:35,246 --> 01:24:38,122
is I can get that information for you
and then I will give you
1431
01:24:38,205 --> 01:24:39,830
-a buzz back.
-That's it. That's great.
1432
01:24:39,913 --> 01:24:42,538
And if you could call James now,
I would appreciate it so much.
1433
01:24:42,621 --> 01:24:44,538
-Thank you, Louise.
-And she'll call you back.
1434
01:24:44,621 --> 01:24:46,705
I will. Hey, Father,
could I ask you something?
1435
01:24:46,788 --> 01:24:49,080
Yeah, it's... Though, I mean...
1436
01:24:49,663 --> 01:24:51,080
Well, if you can make it quick.
1437
01:24:51,163 --> 01:24:54,122
-This is a priority for us right now.
-Maybe she could call you back and...
1438
01:24:54,205 --> 01:24:56,288
Father Jud would you... Could you...
1439
01:24:57,788 --> 01:24:58,788
Louise?
1440
01:24:58,871 --> 01:25:00,663
Oh, God.
1441
01:25:02,330 --> 01:25:03,413
Louise?
1442
01:25:04,038 --> 01:25:06,038
Will you pray for me?
1443
01:25:09,580 --> 01:25:10,496
Uh...
1444
01:25:11,455 --> 01:25:13,080
Yeah, of course.
1445
01:25:14,496 --> 01:25:17,330
-Can I ask what for?
-Uh...
1446
01:25:18,788 --> 01:25:20,413
It's, uh, my mother.
1447
01:25:22,746 --> 01:25:23,955
She's sick?
1448
01:25:24,705 --> 01:25:25,705
Yeah.
1449
01:25:25,788 --> 01:25:28,413
Um, she's in hospice.
1450
01:25:29,788 --> 01:25:31,330
I'm so sorry, Louise.
1451
01:25:31,413 --> 01:25:33,413
Uh, she won't talk to me.
1452
01:25:33,496 --> 01:25:35,580
We fought last time we talked.
1453
01:25:35,663 --> 01:25:41,455
Uh, she has a tumor in her brain
that's affecting her,
1454
01:25:41,538 --> 01:25:45,080
and it's making her say
really terrible things,
1455
01:25:45,163 --> 01:25:47,288
and so I said bad things back
1456
01:25:47,371 --> 01:25:50,080
and now I'm afraid that
that's gonna be the last thing
1457
01:25:50,163 --> 01:25:52,246
that we ever say to each other.
1458
01:25:54,913 --> 01:25:56,996
Father, I, um...
1459
01:25:58,913 --> 01:26:02,330
I'm feeling pretty alone, um, right now.
1460
01:26:05,621 --> 01:26:08,830
I'm so sorry, Louise.
1461
01:26:10,163 --> 01:26:11,371
You're not alone.
1462
01:26:12,830 --> 01:26:14,246
I'm right here.
1463
01:26:15,038 --> 01:26:16,246
I'm here.
1464
01:26:17,121 --> 01:26:18,828
Can you tell me your mother's name?
1465
01:26:47,538 --> 01:26:50,163
I pray that Barbara
may feel her daughter's love.
1466
01:26:51,246 --> 01:26:55,080
That it will comfort her in this time,
and, Lord, I pray for Louise.
1467
01:26:56,496 --> 01:26:58,622
Be with her
and give her wisdom and guidance.
1468
01:26:58,705 --> 01:27:02,205
Hold her in your healing arms
and let her know she is loved.
1469
01:27:02,746 --> 01:27:04,371
She is not alone.
1470
01:27:04,996 --> 01:27:08,413
This we pray
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
1471
01:27:09,246 --> 01:27:10,205
Okay, Louise.
1472
01:27:10,830 --> 01:27:13,413
You have my number.
Any time, day or night,
1473
01:27:13,496 --> 01:27:14,871
I'm here for you.
1474
01:27:15,371 --> 01:27:17,247
This church is here for you.
1475
01:27:17,330 --> 01:27:18,580
Bless you. Okay.
1476
01:27:19,121 --> 01:27:22,121
Storm. I came to close up.
1477
01:27:23,871 --> 01:27:26,554
I'll get the church.
You take care of the rectory.
1478
01:27:30,455 --> 01:27:32,622
Don't follow me, Blanc. I'm done.
1479
01:27:32,705 --> 01:27:34,538
And, uh, why exactly?
1480
01:27:34,621 --> 01:27:37,080
I've had a "road to Damascus" thing.
1481
01:27:37,163 --> 01:27:39,747
Paul had a holy revelation
on the road to Damascus.
1482
01:27:39,830 --> 01:27:42,705
Yes, I know. He was struck blind
and all that hogwash.
1483
01:27:42,788 --> 01:27:44,788
Probably just a case of pink eye.
1484
01:27:44,871 --> 01:27:48,372
But he was not on the verge
of solving a murder when it happened.
1485
01:27:48,455 --> 01:27:50,955
I mean, what do you think
we're doing here?
1486
01:27:51,621 --> 01:27:54,955
Why do you think I became a priest?
No bullshit. Really. Why?
1487
01:27:58,205 --> 01:27:59,496
You felt guilt.
1488
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:01,997
For taking a life. And the church,
1489
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:04,913
it offered you a place to hide
and a clear method
1490
01:28:04,996 --> 01:28:07,080
to give you a sense of absolution.
1491
01:28:07,705 --> 01:28:10,580
The guy I killed in the ring, I hated him.
1492
01:28:11,080 --> 01:28:12,830
I remember, I knew he was in trouble
1493
01:28:12,913 --> 01:28:15,122
and I kept going and going
until I felt him break.
1494
01:28:15,205 --> 01:28:17,830
It wasn't an accident.
I killed him with hate in my heart.
1495
01:28:17,913 --> 01:28:20,247
There's no hiding from that,
there's no solving it.
1496
01:28:20,330 --> 01:28:24,163
God didn't hide me or fix me.
He loves me when I'm guilty.
1497
01:28:24,246 --> 01:28:26,372
That's what I should be doing
for these people.
1498
01:28:26,455 --> 01:28:27,747
Not this whodunnit game.
1499
01:28:27,830 --> 01:28:29,080
No, now wait a minute.
1500
01:28:35,455 --> 01:28:37,663
Excuse me. Excuse me, I...
1501
01:28:38,413 --> 01:28:40,163
Would you look at me
when I'm talking to you?
1502
01:28:40,246 --> 01:28:42,247
We're looking for a murderer.
This is not a game.
1503
01:28:42,330 --> 01:28:43,705
It is a game!
1504
01:28:43,788 --> 01:28:45,413
Solving it, winning it.
1505
01:28:45,496 --> 01:28:47,538
Getting your big checkmate moment.
1506
01:28:47,621 --> 01:28:51,455
And by using me in it, you're setting me
against my real and only purpose in life.
1507
01:28:51,538 --> 01:28:54,163
Which is not to fight the wicked
and bring them to justice,
1508
01:28:54,246 --> 01:28:57,455
but to serve them
and bring them to Christ.
1509
01:28:57,538 --> 01:28:59,372
Otherwise, I'm just as bad as Wicks.
1510
01:28:59,455 --> 01:29:01,538
Making it about me and not Jesus.
1511
01:29:02,580 --> 01:29:04,913
Listen, you don't
have to understand, Blanc.
1512
01:29:04,996 --> 01:29:06,538
But just please,
1513
01:29:06,621 --> 01:29:08,913
please, please, please let me be.
1514
01:29:15,705 --> 01:29:17,455
-Can you say that again?
-No.
1515
01:29:17,538 --> 01:29:20,413
About making it about you, not Jesus.
Like Wicks, you said.
1516
01:29:20,496 --> 01:29:22,705
Father, this is important.
1517
01:29:22,788 --> 01:29:24,288
Help me understand!
1518
01:29:24,371 --> 01:29:27,455
We are here to serve the world,
not beat it.
1519
01:29:28,205 --> 01:29:30,330
-That's what Christ did.
-So?
1520
01:29:30,413 --> 01:29:33,247
So when Wicks was talking about
fighting the world for Christ's sake,
1521
01:29:33,330 --> 01:29:36,788
he wasn't talking about Christ,
he was talking about his own ego.
1522
01:29:36,871 --> 01:29:39,788
And power.
He was never talking about Christ.
1523
01:29:41,913 --> 01:29:45,038
Yes, over and over
he talked about Christ rising in power.
1524
01:29:45,121 --> 01:29:47,038
Getting his revenge on the unfaithful.
1525
01:29:47,121 --> 01:29:48,955
Eve's Apple is the treasure.
1526
01:29:49,038 --> 01:29:51,455
"Eve's Apple restored to the tree."
1527
01:29:51,538 --> 01:29:52,872
Now, what does that mean?
1528
01:29:52,955 --> 01:29:55,455
Blanc. I don't know.
1529
01:29:56,371 --> 01:29:57,996
And I don't care.
1530
01:30:03,955 --> 01:30:06,622
That'll be Geraldine
coming for her update on the case.
1531
01:30:06,705 --> 01:30:09,330
Now, Father, you're right.
1532
01:30:09,413 --> 01:30:11,413
This is my game, not yours.
1533
01:30:11,496 --> 01:30:14,788
Why don't you head back to the rectory?
I'll handle her.
1534
01:30:16,371 --> 01:30:17,580
Thank you.
1535
01:30:18,288 --> 01:30:20,413
Make sure the door's shut when you leave.
1536
01:30:23,830 --> 01:30:25,663
Hope you catch your killer, Blanc.
1537
01:30:26,538 --> 01:30:27,830
Thank you. I... I will.
1538
01:30:45,330 --> 01:30:46,746
Father Jud?
1539
01:30:47,413 --> 01:30:49,080
-Father Jud.
-He's not here.
1540
01:30:49,163 --> 01:30:50,246
Come.
1541
01:30:50,746 --> 01:30:53,872
I want you to search those back rooms
and that closet thing too.
1542
01:30:57,330 --> 01:30:58,163
Oh.
1543
01:30:59,246 --> 01:31:00,580
It's good, right?
1544
01:31:00,663 --> 01:31:01,955
Great, actually.
1545
01:31:02,038 --> 01:31:04,372
Especially the part where
Gideon Fell walks you through
1546
01:31:04,455 --> 01:31:06,372
the possible solutions
of a locked-door crime.
1547
01:31:06,455 --> 01:31:07,413
-Mm.
-Yeah.
1548
01:31:07,496 --> 01:31:09,746
You covered three of them,
then you stopped.
1549
01:31:10,371 --> 01:31:12,580
Now, having read the fourth, I know why.
1550
01:31:13,205 --> 01:31:15,205
See, I rewatched the video
and I realized something.
1551
01:31:16,413 --> 01:31:18,705
From the moment Jud enters the closet,
1552
01:31:19,205 --> 01:31:23,371
until the first of the flock
has a line of sight into that closet
1553
01:31:24,080 --> 01:31:25,496
is nine seconds.
1554
01:31:25,996 --> 01:31:28,830
Nine seconds alone and unseen.
1555
01:31:29,746 --> 01:31:33,580
Plenty of time to do the deed
with a concealed knife.
1556
01:31:37,246 --> 01:31:38,997
That's how it was done, right?
1557
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:40,371
No games.
1558
01:31:40,871 --> 01:31:43,413
No bullshit. That's how it was done.
1559
01:31:45,371 --> 01:31:47,121
Yes.
1560
01:31:48,330 --> 01:31:50,872
And you knew. You knew all along
and you toyed with that poor kid
1561
01:31:50,955 --> 01:31:52,580
-like a cat with a mouse.
-No.
1562
01:31:52,663 --> 01:31:55,163
I don't have the whole picture just yet.
1563
01:31:55,246 --> 01:31:57,497
-If you could give me a little more time...
-No.
1564
01:31:57,580 --> 01:31:59,872
-I'm gonna be able to get...
-No!
1565
01:31:59,955 --> 01:32:02,455
I found my killer and I'm bringing him in.
1566
01:32:03,288 --> 01:32:04,496
Where is he?
1567
01:33:40,663 --> 01:33:41,580
Sam!
1568
01:34:58,288 --> 01:34:59,580
Who's there?
1569
01:35:04,913 --> 01:35:06,121
Wait!
1570
01:35:13,705 --> 01:35:14,705
Blanc?
1571
01:35:14,788 --> 01:35:15,955
Here.
1572
01:35:16,621 --> 01:35:19,455
Oh, shit. Who's that?
1573
01:35:19,538 --> 01:35:21,455
The groundskeeper, Samson.
1574
01:35:22,955 --> 01:35:24,788
What the hell happened?
1575
01:35:39,205 --> 01:35:40,330
Oh...
1576
01:35:41,288 --> 01:35:43,788
Mm.
1577
01:35:45,038 --> 01:35:45,871
Uh...
1578
01:35:49,705 --> 01:35:51,580
Mm. Yeah.
1579
01:35:51,663 --> 01:35:52,746
Okay.
1580
01:35:53,288 --> 01:35:56,622
Okay, Wicks was 100% medically dead dead.
1581
01:35:56,705 --> 01:35:59,205
I mean, we know this, I'm just...
1582
01:35:59,705 --> 01:36:01,121
just saying, right?
1583
01:36:02,413 --> 01:36:03,496
Right.
1584
01:36:05,746 --> 01:36:08,955
Okay,
then I can also say out loud,
1585
01:36:09,538 --> 01:36:11,872
a man can't just rise from the dead.
1586
01:36:11,955 --> 01:36:14,882
I mean, there's obviously some
Scooby-Doo shit going on here.
1587
01:36:15,371 --> 01:36:16,705
"Scooby-Dooby-Doo."
1588
01:36:16,788 --> 01:36:20,622
Praise to God!
Praise and glory to the Almighty!
1589
01:36:20,705 --> 01:36:22,122
Praise Him!
1590
01:36:22,205 --> 01:36:26,122
Praise God!
Praise and glory to the Almighty.
1591
01:36:26,205 --> 01:36:28,997
-He hath raised His Son.
-Hey, Ritz.
1592
01:36:29,080 --> 01:36:30,497
Set a perimeter on the road.
1593
01:36:30,580 --> 01:36:32,997
News is gonna spread fast
and I don't want any lookie-loos.
1594
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:34,497
-You got it.
-Chief!
1595
01:36:34,580 --> 01:36:35,413
What?
1596
01:36:35,496 --> 01:36:37,622
That motion-detector light there,
it's also a camera.
1597
01:36:37,705 --> 01:36:39,955
But it's not hooked up to anything.
1598
01:36:40,038 --> 01:36:41,163
A camera, huh?
1599
01:36:41,246 --> 01:36:43,747
I don't know. Maybe it's recording
something on a chip inside.
1600
01:36:43,830 --> 01:36:46,038
Why don't you bring it into the media lab?
1601
01:36:46,705 --> 01:36:48,205
Hallelujah, praise God.
1602
01:36:48,288 --> 01:36:50,705
He has raised up
His servant from the dead.
1603
01:36:50,788 --> 01:36:53,413
Hey, do me a favor? Tape off
this entire area, down to the grove.
1604
01:36:53,496 --> 01:36:54,913
-Got it.
-It's a homicide scene.
1605
01:36:54,996 --> 01:36:56,788
The groundskeeper is dead.
1606
01:37:09,038 --> 01:37:10,830
No! Please!
1607
01:37:11,871 --> 01:37:14,205
-Oh, shit.
-No! No, no, no!
1608
01:37:14,288 --> 01:37:15,705
Can I get some help?
1609
01:37:15,788 --> 01:37:17,788
-Get help! Martha.
-No! Oh, no, no!
1610
01:37:17,871 --> 01:37:20,080
-Martha, you need to back up.
-Oh, no!
1611
01:37:20,163 --> 01:37:22,538
Martha...
1612
01:37:22,621 --> 01:37:25,663
Flee into the dark, you murderer!
1613
01:37:27,705 --> 01:37:29,413
But he has returned!
1614
01:37:29,913 --> 01:37:33,621
And he brings vengeance! He brings death!
1615
01:37:50,830 --> 01:37:52,163
This is Father Jud.
1616
01:37:52,246 --> 01:37:54,746
Oh, Father Jud, it's Louise.
How you doing?
1617
01:37:56,080 --> 01:37:57,371
Uh...
1618
01:37:58,746 --> 01:38:00,371
Yeah... Hi, Louise.
1619
01:38:00,871 --> 01:38:03,205
I... I hope it's not too late,
but you said it was urgent,
1620
01:38:03,288 --> 01:38:04,913
so I just wanted to tell you...
1621
01:38:04,996 --> 01:38:07,622
I spoke to James
and the order for the forklift
1622
01:38:07,705 --> 01:38:10,413
was actually placed by Monsignor Wicks.
1623
01:38:11,288 --> 01:38:15,371
He spoke to James directly about it,
so I do hope that this clears things up.
1624
01:38:15,996 --> 01:38:19,330
Hey, God bless you, Father,
and you have yourself a good night, okay?
1625
01:38:19,413 --> 01:38:22,080
Uh... Yeah.
1626
01:38:22,746 --> 01:38:25,496
Yeah, you too, Louise.
1627
01:38:50,913 --> 01:38:52,205
Jeez.
1628
01:38:53,996 --> 01:38:55,080
Yes?
1629
01:38:56,205 --> 01:38:58,038
Slow down, Martha. What?
1630
01:39:00,830 --> 01:39:02,663
What?
1631
01:39:02,746 --> 01:39:04,580
-It's a miracle.
-Bullshit.
1632
01:39:04,663 --> 01:39:07,080
No, it happened.
Martha said the tomb is empty.
1633
01:39:07,163 --> 01:39:09,455
I'm calling everyone. I'm on my way now.
1634
01:39:15,371 --> 01:39:16,580
Did you, uh...
1635
01:39:17,121 --> 01:39:19,038
What are you doing? You don't smoke.
1636
01:39:19,121 --> 01:39:20,413
I did.
1637
01:39:21,246 --> 01:39:22,997
I smoked for 15 years.
1638
01:39:23,080 --> 01:39:25,080
Did Lee call you? Did he tell you?
1639
01:39:25,580 --> 01:39:26,788
Yep.
1640
01:39:28,038 --> 01:39:30,247
Okay. Well, I'm gonna go
witness a miracle.
1641
01:39:30,330 --> 01:39:33,496
You enjoy your cigarette indoors.
1642
01:40:05,163 --> 01:40:06,371
Praise be.
1643
01:40:07,496 --> 01:40:08,830
It's accomplished.
1644
01:40:10,830 --> 01:40:13,955
Come on.
1645
01:40:15,871 --> 01:40:17,725
Come on, it's...
1646
01:40:18,413 --> 01:40:19,621
He's got it.
1647
01:40:23,121 --> 01:40:26,122
All right, so... it's not great quality...
1648
01:40:26,205 --> 01:40:27,705
-It's fine.
-...but, uh...
1649
01:40:38,538 --> 01:40:39,955
What am I looking at here?
1650
01:40:46,913 --> 01:40:47,830
Okay.
1651
01:40:47,913 --> 01:40:51,372
Um, yeah, so, it records
anytime there's motion
1652
01:40:51,455 --> 01:40:54,955
{\an8}and this clip is four seconds later.
1653
01:41:07,121 --> 01:41:08,997
Okay?
1654
01:41:09,080 --> 01:41:11,080
Prints from the gardening tool.
1655
01:41:12,371 --> 01:41:16,038
We didn't run the full database check,
just the suspects you questioned.
1656
01:41:16,746 --> 01:41:17,955
It's Father Jud.
1657
01:41:22,830 --> 01:41:24,038
Where is he?
1658
01:41:24,663 --> 01:41:26,496
I sincerely wish I knew.
1659
01:41:46,121 --> 01:41:47,955
Blanc. Blanc!
1660
01:41:48,580 --> 01:41:51,122
I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna... turn myself...
1661
01:41:51,205 --> 01:41:53,595
-...388.
-388, en route.
1662
01:41:53,871 --> 01:41:54,871
433.
1663
01:41:55,705 --> 01:41:57,622
-I'm turning myself in.
-No you are not.
1664
01:41:57,705 --> 01:42:01,997
♪ Skimbleshanks, the railway cat! ♪
1665
01:42:03,163 --> 01:42:05,913
I did it. I killed Samson.
I'm guilty. I have to confess.
1666
01:42:05,996 --> 01:42:07,080
-Let me out.
-Listen.
1667
01:42:07,163 --> 01:42:09,580
You're gonna tell me
exactly what happened, but right now,
1668
01:42:09,663 --> 01:42:11,288
how do I get to Dr. Nat's house?
1669
01:42:11,371 --> 01:42:12,955
-Dr. Nat?
-Yes, quickly.
1670
01:42:13,455 --> 01:42:14,580
I regret my stalling.
1671
01:42:14,663 --> 01:42:16,997
I only hope we're not too late.
Now, just get down!
1672
01:42:21,413 --> 01:42:23,538
Hail Mary, full of grace
the Lord is with you.
1673
01:42:23,621 --> 01:42:25,038
Blessed art thou amongst women...
1674
01:42:25,121 --> 01:42:27,288
...sir, that I respect you.
I respect the badge.
1675
01:42:27,371 --> 01:42:30,580
But this is our church and I'm not telling
you that I'm gonna resort to violence,
1676
01:42:30,663 --> 01:42:34,413
but we're gonna stay here all night
if we have to. We are seeing that crypt!
1677
01:42:34,496 --> 01:42:36,497
-Is it real?
-They won't let us in.
1678
01:42:36,580 --> 01:42:39,246
I need to see.
1679
01:42:39,955 --> 01:42:41,788
Please, I need to see.
1680
01:42:59,621 --> 01:43:00,830
Dr. Nat?
1681
01:43:35,705 --> 01:43:37,913
Oh, God.
1682
01:43:38,663 --> 01:43:39,997
What's that smell?
1683
01:43:45,455 --> 01:43:47,080
Just wait here.
1684
01:43:49,121 --> 01:43:50,205
Blanc.
1685
01:43:50,746 --> 01:43:51,830
Yep.
1686
01:43:56,705 --> 01:43:58,205
Oh, God.
1687
01:44:11,413 --> 01:44:12,496
Right.
1688
01:44:14,163 --> 01:44:18,830
Oh, Lord, that is...
1689
01:44:30,246 --> 01:44:31,247
Wicks.
1690
01:44:31,330 --> 01:44:33,580
Yeah, that's... It's him.
1691
01:44:34,455 --> 01:44:35,871
-Is he...
-Yeah.
1692
01:44:36,580 --> 01:44:40,038
I mean, for what it's worth
these days.
1693
01:44:42,663 --> 01:44:44,788
Let's see now. Let's...
1694
01:44:48,080 --> 01:44:49,330
Okay.
1695
01:44:50,830 --> 01:44:53,080
This might get unpleasant.
1696
01:44:53,163 --> 01:44:54,871
I mean, more unpleasant.
1697
01:45:30,413 --> 01:45:31,496
Dr. Nat.
1698
01:45:32,746 --> 01:45:35,580
In the flesh. Yeah...
Or, what's left of it.
1699
01:46:08,496 --> 01:46:10,580
Geraldine, it's... it's Blanc. Um...
1700
01:46:11,705 --> 01:46:13,788
Yeah, he's standing right here.
1701
01:46:13,871 --> 01:46:15,372
Listen to me.
1702
01:46:15,455 --> 01:46:17,622
You're gonna wanna come
to Dr. Nat's house.
1703
01:46:17,705 --> 01:46:21,205
There's a body. Or two.
1704
01:46:22,330 --> 01:46:23,746
It's all here.
1705
01:46:24,246 --> 01:46:27,121
Yes, yeah. It's... it's finished, yeah.
1706
01:46:28,246 --> 01:46:29,746
I'll call you back.
1707
01:46:31,038 --> 01:46:32,788
Father Jud. Wait, wait.
1708
01:46:32,871 --> 01:46:35,080
I killed Samson. I have to do this.
1709
01:46:35,705 --> 01:46:38,681
I have to do it of my own free will
or it won't mean anything.
1710
01:46:53,871 --> 01:46:57,913
Plate check.
Copy that. Any available units to respond...
1711
01:46:57,996 --> 01:47:00,205
Would you call Geraldine for me, please?
1712
01:47:00,705 --> 01:47:03,876
Say Father Jud's returned to his church
and he's ready to confess.
1713
01:47:20,121 --> 01:47:22,747
Father Jud.
I'm here to arrest you for the murder
1714
01:47:22,830 --> 01:47:25,080
of Monsignor Jefferson Wicks
and Samson Holt.
1715
01:47:25,163 --> 01:47:29,330
And you're a person of interest
in the death of Dr. Nathaniel Sharp.
1716
01:47:29,413 --> 01:47:30,913
Nat is dead?
1717
01:47:32,121 --> 01:47:33,413
Murdered in his home.
1718
01:47:34,413 --> 01:47:36,913
We also recovered Wicks' body. It's over.
1719
01:47:37,413 --> 01:47:40,455
Anything you say
can be used against you in a court of law.
1720
01:47:40,538 --> 01:47:43,163
But if you'd like to confess to anything,
1721
01:47:43,246 --> 01:47:46,163
this seems like
a pretty great place to do it.
1722
01:47:48,330 --> 01:47:49,413
Yeah.
1723
01:47:52,455 --> 01:47:54,122
Years ago,
1724
01:47:54,205 --> 01:47:56,705
I murdered a man in a boxing ring.
1725
01:47:58,413 --> 01:48:00,455
I killed him with hate in my heart.
1726
01:48:02,580 --> 01:48:05,996
Last night, that same sin rose in me
and in a moment of
1727
01:48:06,955 --> 01:48:09,038
fear and rage, I...
1728
01:48:13,580 --> 01:48:17,538
I'm sorry, that was dramatic,
but I needed you to stop talking.
1729
01:48:17,621 --> 01:48:19,872
-No. Father Jud...
-I was about to explain to everyone...
1730
01:48:19,955 --> 01:48:21,705
-Sit down and listen.
-Stop talking.
1731
01:48:21,788 --> 01:48:24,747
Please, let him. You were continuing...
Continue, you said last night...
1732
01:48:24,830 --> 01:48:27,163
-In a moment of fear and rage...
-I was about to do it...
1733
01:48:27,246 --> 01:48:30,330
You shall not silence
the voice of the Lord!
1734
01:48:30,413 --> 01:48:35,330
But sit now and behold the wickedness
and shame of the guilty
1735
01:48:35,413 --> 01:48:38,330
laid bare before you all!
1736
01:48:51,080 --> 01:48:54,205
What are you doing?
1737
01:48:57,205 --> 01:49:00,413
Let us begin with Wicks' murder.
1738
01:49:00,496 --> 01:49:03,413
Right here on Good Friday.
1739
01:49:04,121 --> 01:49:05,955
The impossible crime.
1740
01:49:07,330 --> 01:49:09,872
And, Geraldine,
you were correct in your deduction.
1741
01:49:09,955 --> 01:49:14,122
When Monsignor Wicks collapsed
in that closet space, he wasn't dead.
1742
01:49:14,205 --> 01:49:16,413
He wasn't even stabbed, not yet.
1743
01:49:17,413 --> 01:49:20,747
The flask he kept stashed
in the breaker box
1744
01:49:20,830 --> 01:49:24,538
was spiked
with a very powerful tranquilizer.
1745
01:49:24,621 --> 01:49:26,413
He drank from it.
1746
01:49:26,496 --> 01:49:28,372
Fortified himself.
1747
01:49:28,455 --> 01:49:31,663
And within minutes,
fell to the floor, unconscious.
1748
01:49:31,746 --> 01:49:34,705
The clanky clunk.
1749
01:49:34,788 --> 01:49:36,622
Leaving him defenseless
1750
01:49:36,705 --> 01:49:40,205
and giving the killer
their chance to enter the closet
1751
01:49:40,788 --> 01:49:42,455
and deliver the deadly blow.
1752
01:49:43,080 --> 01:49:44,300
I... I said that already.
1753
01:49:44,871 --> 01:49:45,622
Father Jud.
1754
01:49:45,705 --> 01:49:48,538
No. The knife was in his back
when I found him.
1755
01:49:48,621 --> 01:49:50,205
There's something in his back.
1756
01:49:50,288 --> 01:49:53,330
So how? When? It's impossible. I saw.
1757
01:49:53,413 --> 01:49:54,955
What did you see?
1758
01:49:56,163 --> 01:49:57,497
The red devil head.
1759
01:49:57,580 --> 01:50:00,788
Blood you assumed was Wicks'.
1760
01:50:00,871 --> 01:50:03,261
Now, I showed you
the answer to this, did you see?
1761
01:50:04,455 --> 01:50:05,663
Il Diavolo.
1762
01:50:05,746 --> 01:50:07,413
The pizza bar. The photograph.
1763
01:50:08,746 --> 01:50:10,746
You thought you saw,
1764
01:50:11,288 --> 01:50:13,122
but that wasn't it, no.
1765
01:50:13,205 --> 01:50:15,413
It was a second identical lamp.
1766
01:50:15,496 --> 01:50:18,455
A second identical devil head.
1767
01:50:19,788 --> 01:50:20,871
Yeah.
1768
01:50:23,871 --> 01:50:25,496
And it was also missing.
1769
01:50:26,121 --> 01:50:27,455
Two devils.
1770
01:50:27,538 --> 01:50:28,872
Yes.
1771
01:50:28,955 --> 01:50:30,246
Why two?
1772
01:50:31,121 --> 01:50:32,663
And why painted red?
1773
01:50:32,746 --> 01:50:34,163
It wasn't red though. It's red now.
1774
01:50:34,246 --> 01:50:36,997
The same red
as the Good Friday vestments.
1775
01:50:37,080 --> 01:50:38,913
The same exact red
1776
01:50:38,996 --> 01:50:42,163
as the mysterious thread
found in the closet.
1777
01:50:42,871 --> 01:50:46,580
Because the second devil head
was there all the time.
1778
01:50:46,663 --> 01:50:48,997
Sewn to the back of his vestments.
1779
01:50:49,080 --> 01:50:50,372
Hollow, light,
1780
01:50:50,455 --> 01:50:52,621
and filled with a small squib of blood
1781
01:50:53,205 --> 01:50:56,121
triggered by an RF remote.
1782
01:50:57,080 --> 01:51:00,205
Set off
at the exact right moment.
1783
01:51:00,288 --> 01:51:01,205
Monsignor?
1784
01:51:02,580 --> 01:51:03,455
The doctor.
1785
01:51:05,205 --> 01:51:06,413
A voice of authority
1786
01:51:06,496 --> 01:51:10,038
who can wait for the discovery he needs
before taking charge.
1787
01:51:10,121 --> 01:51:11,330
There's something in his back.
1788
01:51:11,413 --> 01:51:13,121
Wait. Don't touch it.
1789
01:51:15,413 --> 01:51:17,747
A moment of distraction presents itself.
1790
01:51:20,413 --> 01:51:22,413
And the deed is quickly done.
1791
01:51:23,913 --> 01:51:25,080
His final task,
1792
01:51:25,163 --> 01:51:29,497
to remove the incriminating
drug-laced flask.
1793
01:51:29,580 --> 01:51:32,496
But where was it? It was gone.
1794
01:51:33,621 --> 01:51:35,747
The one hiccup in his plan.
1795
01:51:35,830 --> 01:51:39,788
The result of a moment
of foolish grace by Father Jud
1796
01:51:40,371 --> 01:51:44,830
who concealed the flask
to hide Wicks' drinking
1797
01:51:44,913 --> 01:51:47,830
and returned later to retrieve it.
1798
01:51:50,163 --> 01:51:51,371
My God.
1799
01:51:51,871 --> 01:51:52,955
Nat.
1800
01:51:53,038 --> 01:51:54,330
Why?
1801
01:51:54,830 --> 01:51:56,997
Wicks was going to scorch
the earth.
1802
01:51:57,080 --> 01:51:58,705
He was going to ruin him.
1803
01:51:58,788 --> 01:52:01,622
No. The bigger why.
The why that brought you here.
1804
01:52:01,705 --> 01:52:04,122
Why do all this insane, elaborate stuff?
1805
01:52:04,205 --> 01:52:07,080
The theatricality? The impossible crime.
1806
01:52:07,163 --> 01:52:08,455
Why?
1807
01:52:09,121 --> 01:52:10,247
Indeed.
1808
01:52:10,330 --> 01:52:12,913
Okay, so... if Dr. Nat killed Wicks,
1809
01:52:13,455 --> 01:52:14,372
who killed Nat?
1810
01:52:14,455 --> 01:52:16,371
Well, now we get to it.
1811
01:52:17,080 --> 01:52:19,747
Not some fiddly locked-door mystery
1812
01:52:19,830 --> 01:52:23,205
with devices and clues,
1813
01:52:23,288 --> 01:52:26,705
but a much, much larger scheme.
1814
01:52:26,788 --> 01:52:31,872
One whose roots
run to the bedrock of this church.
1815
01:52:31,955 --> 01:52:33,705
And one which draws me,
1816
01:52:33,788 --> 01:52:37,038
an unbeliever in every sense of the word,
1817
01:52:37,121 --> 01:52:40,121
into the realm of belief.
1818
01:52:41,746 --> 01:52:43,580
To understand this case,
1819
01:52:44,621 --> 01:52:48,622
I had to look at the myth
that was being constructed.
1820
01:52:48,705 --> 01:52:51,538
Not to solve whether it was real or not,
1821
01:52:51,621 --> 01:52:54,038
but to feel in my soul
1822
01:52:54,121 --> 01:52:57,330
the essence of that
which it strove to convey.
1823
01:53:00,621 --> 01:53:02,038
A holy priest.
1824
01:53:02,788 --> 01:53:08,122
Struck down by no man,
but by the hand of Satan himself.
1825
01:53:08,205 --> 01:53:11,705
Laid to rest
in the sealed tomb of his father,
1826
01:53:12,288 --> 01:53:13,705
but then risen
1827
01:53:14,413 --> 01:53:15,955
by the will of God.
1828
01:53:16,038 --> 01:53:18,038
Risen as something new.
1829
01:53:18,121 --> 01:53:20,122
No longer a fallible man,
1830
01:53:20,205 --> 01:53:24,121
but now a symbol
of the Lord's power over death.
1831
01:53:26,080 --> 01:53:27,705
His justice for the holy.
1832
01:53:28,205 --> 01:53:30,455
His vengeance for the wicked.
1833
01:53:33,246 --> 01:53:36,997
Okay. And now, what really happened?
1834
01:53:37,080 --> 01:53:39,080
Yes. Yes.
1835
01:53:39,163 --> 01:53:42,997
It is time to break this tawdry facade
1836
01:53:43,080 --> 01:53:47,080
of miracles and resurrections
and reveal what really happened.
1837
01:53:47,163 --> 01:53:49,580
It is time for Benoit Blanc's
1838
01:53:49,663 --> 01:53:52,830
final checkmate
over the mysteries of faith!
1839
01:54:21,371 --> 01:54:23,371
Blanc, are you... Are you okay?
1840
01:54:25,496 --> 01:54:26,705
Damascus.
1841
01:54:27,746 --> 01:54:28,955
Damascus?
1842
01:54:30,330 --> 01:54:33,288
Like... a road to Damascus thing?
1843
01:54:33,371 --> 01:54:35,330
Yes, yes, Damascus.
1844
01:54:38,871 --> 01:54:40,496
Shit.
1845
01:54:41,371 --> 01:54:42,455
Blanc?
1846
01:54:58,996 --> 01:55:00,621
I cannot solve this case.
1847
01:55:04,580 --> 01:55:05,580
What?
1848
01:55:06,663 --> 01:55:09,372
Are you saying that
your conclusion, Benoit Blanc,
1849
01:55:09,455 --> 01:55:12,413
is that Monsignor Wicks
rose from the dead?
1850
01:55:12,496 --> 01:55:13,913
That it was a miracle?
1851
01:55:13,996 --> 01:55:18,122
I'm saying I cannot solve this case.
1852
01:55:19,663 --> 01:55:20,830
That works.
1853
01:55:21,330 --> 01:55:22,163
Thank you.
1854
01:55:24,538 --> 01:55:25,621
Blanc?
1855
01:55:26,330 --> 01:55:28,663
If you know what really happened,
you should tell everyone.
1856
01:55:28,746 --> 01:55:32,455
Is this you sparing our faith
or being respectful or something?
1857
01:55:32,538 --> 01:55:34,747
Because we deserve the truth.
1858
01:55:34,830 --> 01:55:36,247
It is not.
1859
01:55:37,621 --> 01:55:39,330
I need the truth.
1860
01:55:40,621 --> 01:55:42,830
Can't you just
1861
01:55:42,913 --> 01:55:45,871
give us the answer?
Isn't that what all this is for?
1862
01:55:48,663 --> 01:55:51,538
And would you consider blurbing my book?
1863
01:55:51,621 --> 01:55:53,413
No.
1864
01:55:54,038 --> 01:55:56,672
Okay. All right.
Show's over. Everyone out.
1865
01:55:57,413 --> 01:55:59,830
Out. Out.
1866
01:56:00,538 --> 01:56:02,163
Yeah, can you stand back, sir?
1867
01:56:03,455 --> 01:56:05,080
Okay, can we keep them back...
1868
01:56:06,746 --> 01:56:09,580
I add another chapter
and then we're... we're ready.
1869
01:56:09,663 --> 01:56:11,997
We're ready to publish. Trust me, Alan.
1870
01:56:12,080 --> 01:56:14,788
Call Random House, everybody.
It's gonna be huge!
1871
01:56:17,913 --> 01:56:21,705
What we've witnessed is a miracle
confirmed by Benoit Blanc himself.
1872
01:56:21,788 --> 01:56:25,122
The world will know
what happened today here at Chimney Rock.
1873
01:56:25,205 --> 01:56:29,205
You can find out yourself.
Follow my YouTube channel @CyDraven...
1874
01:56:29,288 --> 01:56:30,580
What a mess.
1875
01:56:32,080 --> 01:56:34,496
I assume they'll arrest Father Jud now.
1876
01:56:35,080 --> 01:56:36,163
Yes.
1877
01:56:37,121 --> 01:56:38,746
I suppose they will.
1878
01:56:44,913 --> 01:56:46,413
What the hell was that?
1879
01:56:46,955 --> 01:56:48,955
Road to Damascus.
1880
01:56:49,663 --> 01:56:51,997
Scales fell from my eyes.
1881
01:56:52,080 --> 01:56:53,913
So what? Facts, schmacks?
1882
01:56:53,996 --> 01:56:56,538
You believe in God
and all this mishegoss is real?
1883
01:56:56,621 --> 01:56:58,455
No, no. God is a fiction.
1884
01:56:58,538 --> 01:57:00,621
My revelation came from...
1885
01:57:01,705 --> 01:57:03,121
from Father Jud.
1886
01:57:04,580 --> 01:57:06,996
His example to have grace.
1887
01:57:09,663 --> 01:57:11,496
Grace for my enemy.
1888
01:57:15,246 --> 01:57:16,621
Grace for the broken.
1889
01:57:19,080 --> 01:57:20,705
Grace for those who
1890
01:57:21,496 --> 01:57:22,621
deserve it the least.
1891
01:57:24,705 --> 01:57:26,121
But who need it the most.
1892
01:57:31,371 --> 01:57:32,580
For the guilty.
1893
01:57:33,163 --> 01:57:34,246
Mr. Blanc.
1894
01:57:34,913 --> 01:57:36,538
You know the truth.
1895
01:57:37,121 --> 01:57:39,121
I do, yes.
1896
01:57:40,663 --> 01:57:43,913
And you made yourself the fool just now.
1897
01:57:43,996 --> 01:57:46,705
So that you could do this
of your own free will.
1898
01:57:47,996 --> 01:57:50,413
And now you better do it. Quickly.
1899
01:57:50,496 --> 01:57:51,788
Thank you.
1900
01:57:55,663 --> 01:57:57,080
Father Jud.
1901
01:58:04,080 --> 01:58:05,122
What do I do?
1902
01:58:05,205 --> 01:58:07,038
What you were born to do.
1903
01:58:07,121 --> 01:58:08,621
Be her priest.
1904
01:58:09,121 --> 01:58:10,538
Take her confession.
1905
01:58:19,205 --> 01:58:21,122
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
1906
01:58:21,205 --> 01:58:23,496
It is a week since my last confession.
1907
01:58:27,996 --> 01:58:32,830
I told myself it started with pure intent.
1908
01:58:34,205 --> 01:58:35,621
But the truth is
1909
01:58:36,455 --> 01:58:39,538
it started with a lie.
1910
01:58:40,496 --> 01:58:41,497
Prentice.
1911
01:58:43,038 --> 01:58:44,038
Prentice.
1912
01:58:45,705 --> 01:58:48,705
I saw him take his final communion.
1913
01:58:52,580 --> 01:58:54,705
This is Eve's Apple, Martha.
1914
01:58:55,288 --> 01:58:57,496
My entire cursed fortune.
1915
01:58:57,996 --> 01:59:00,330
All the sin in the world.
1916
01:59:00,413 --> 01:59:02,413
All that Eve hungers for.
1917
01:59:03,080 --> 01:59:04,705
I have trapped it.
1918
01:59:05,288 --> 01:59:08,705
It shall never again
be plucked by evil hands.
1919
01:59:09,496 --> 01:59:11,413
The body of Christ.
1920
01:59:24,538 --> 01:59:27,872
He took the jewel to his grave.
1921
01:59:30,705 --> 01:59:35,371
I swore that I would
protect this great secret.
1922
01:59:36,788 --> 01:59:40,622
But Grace, she discovered that
he had bought the diamond.
1923
01:59:40,705 --> 01:59:41,997
I don't know how.
1924
01:59:42,080 --> 01:59:43,996
She knew her fancy brands.
1925
01:59:45,246 --> 01:59:48,497
What would come
in a custom-made Fabergé box,
1926
01:59:48,580 --> 01:59:50,747
itself worth maybe $20,000?
1927
01:59:50,830 --> 01:59:54,913
Not a trinket or a plastic Jesus, no.
1928
01:59:54,996 --> 01:59:57,246
Something facet-cut, worth a fortune.
1929
01:59:58,330 --> 01:59:59,330
A jewel.
1930
01:59:59,413 --> 02:00:02,122
But she didn't know where he hid it.
1931
02:00:02,205 --> 02:00:03,788
So that night...
1932
02:00:06,246 --> 02:00:08,371
She didn't desecrate the church in anger.
1933
02:00:08,955 --> 02:00:11,913
No, she was looking for
the hidden jewel.
1934
02:00:11,996 --> 02:00:15,580
A dark life of desperation.
1935
02:00:16,121 --> 02:00:19,205
A prisoner to shame and judgment.
1936
02:00:19,705 --> 02:00:21,705
It was her one way out.
1937
02:00:22,705 --> 02:00:24,121
That poor girl.
1938
02:00:25,663 --> 02:00:27,496
Martha, what did you say to her?
1939
02:00:29,621 --> 02:00:31,372
I know where he hid it.
1940
02:00:31,455 --> 02:00:33,497
And you'll never find it.
1941
02:00:33,580 --> 02:00:35,080
You harlot whore.
1942
02:00:40,288 --> 02:00:42,122
Where is it?
1943
02:00:44,830 --> 02:00:47,288
Where is it, you little shit?
1944
02:00:48,288 --> 02:00:51,288
I kept the secret of Eve's Apple
1945
02:00:51,371 --> 02:00:56,038
locked in my heart for 60 years.
1946
02:00:57,205 --> 02:00:59,830
My terrible burden.
1947
02:01:01,038 --> 02:01:03,163
Until...
1948
02:01:05,163 --> 02:01:07,247
I challenged you to confess it.
1949
02:01:07,330 --> 02:01:10,788
With defiant pride,
1950
02:01:11,830 --> 02:01:13,246
I confessed.
1951
02:01:16,830 --> 02:01:18,455
To the wrong priest.
1952
02:01:22,663 --> 02:01:24,622
Time is of the essence now.
1953
02:01:24,705 --> 02:01:26,705
Last Sunday, in the rectory,
1954
02:01:26,788 --> 02:01:29,955
Vera confronted Wicks
and you learned about Cy.
1955
02:01:30,038 --> 02:01:32,997
I could accept that he had strayed.
1956
02:01:33,080 --> 02:01:36,871
But as he spoke, something became clear.
1957
02:01:37,788 --> 02:01:39,996
This was something much bigger.
1958
02:01:40,496 --> 02:01:44,913
He was embracing that terrible boy.
1959
02:01:46,621 --> 02:01:48,663
That's when I suspected.
1960
02:01:48,746 --> 02:01:51,122
So you call the construction company.
1961
02:01:51,205 --> 02:01:52,705
{\an8}Thank you, James.
1962
02:01:54,955 --> 02:01:56,272
{\an8}And I was certain.
1963
02:01:57,080 --> 02:02:00,413
He had ordered the equipment
to open the crypt
1964
02:02:00,496 --> 02:02:06,330
to steal the diamond
for his own greed and lust for power.
1965
02:02:06,413 --> 02:02:10,955
The corrupting sin
of Eve's Apple would be unearthed
1966
02:02:11,621 --> 02:02:13,955
{\an8}and this church would fall
1967
02:02:14,038 --> 02:02:18,663
because of everything
Prentice had warned me about.
1968
02:02:18,746 --> 02:02:20,246
I had failed him.
1969
02:02:22,830 --> 02:02:24,038
All my life,
1970
02:02:24,663 --> 02:02:27,996
I was not the bad one. I was the good one.
1971
02:02:28,580 --> 02:02:30,080
The faithful one.
1972
02:02:30,163 --> 02:02:32,871
Serving and protecting the church.
1973
02:02:33,496 --> 02:02:36,497
If I failed in that, what is my life?
1974
02:02:36,580 --> 02:02:37,663
I understand.
1975
02:02:37,746 --> 02:02:40,372
My sole purpose
1976
02:02:40,455 --> 02:02:41,955
and I failed.
1977
02:02:43,038 --> 02:02:44,246
Unless...
1978
02:02:48,246 --> 02:02:49,205
Unless...
1979
02:02:51,913 --> 02:02:55,580
Unless I could...
I could steal the jewel first
1980
02:02:55,663 --> 02:02:57,496
and get rid of it forever.
1981
02:02:58,496 --> 02:02:59,830
And with the same stroke,
1982
02:02:59,913 --> 02:03:04,163
raise Wicks up
as a miraculous risen saint.
1983
02:03:04,246 --> 02:03:07,746
{\an8}Not a fallible man, but a symbol
1984
02:03:08,580 --> 02:03:10,580
{\an8}that would save my church.
1985
02:03:11,746 --> 02:03:14,288
All it would take is a miracle.
1986
02:03:15,663 --> 02:03:17,496
So I formed my plan.
1987
02:03:18,496 --> 02:03:22,580
Wicks' death must be a holy mystery.
1988
02:03:23,371 --> 02:03:26,455
Unsolvable and divine.
1989
02:03:27,455 --> 02:03:29,205
But you couldn't do it alone.
1990
02:03:29,913 --> 02:03:30,996
No.
1991
02:03:32,538 --> 02:03:34,163
A weak man, I thought.
1992
02:03:34,746 --> 02:03:35,872
Desperate.
1993
02:03:35,955 --> 02:03:38,705
Someone who would fall in line
to save the church
1994
02:03:38,788 --> 02:03:41,455
and stay in line to cover his shame.
1995
02:03:42,038 --> 02:03:45,913
And who had access
to medical-grade tranquilizers.
1996
02:03:45,996 --> 02:03:48,121
Yes. And that.
1997
02:03:51,538 --> 02:03:54,496
It all went according to plan.
1998
02:03:56,080 --> 02:03:58,080
Oh, God.
1999
02:03:58,163 --> 02:03:59,247
My vanity.
2000
02:03:59,330 --> 02:04:00,830
So wicked.
2001
02:04:01,371 --> 02:04:02,496
Martha.
2002
02:04:03,121 --> 02:04:05,580
I understand, I promise, I do.
2003
02:04:06,163 --> 02:04:07,913
Keep going. I'm here.
2004
02:04:07,996 --> 02:04:10,455
I didn't reckon the cost.
2005
02:04:11,538 --> 02:04:13,371
Forgive me, Samson.
2006
02:04:13,913 --> 02:04:16,247
Strong Samson, faithful Samson.
2007
02:04:16,330 --> 02:04:18,955
Samson. Who made the coffins.
2008
02:04:21,621 --> 02:04:23,913
Shit.
2009
02:04:24,705 --> 02:04:26,121
You will rise again.
2010
02:04:27,080 --> 02:04:28,830
It will be okay.
2011
02:04:28,913 --> 02:04:30,621
You will rise again.
2012
02:04:31,205 --> 02:04:33,372
It will be okay.
2013
02:04:35,413 --> 02:04:36,705
I promise.
2014
02:04:37,413 --> 02:04:40,538
He didn't understand why we were doing it.
2015
02:04:40,621 --> 02:04:43,538
Anything for you, my angel.
2016
02:04:44,288 --> 02:04:45,605
But he trusted me.
2017
02:04:45,955 --> 02:04:47,788
Because he loved me.
2018
02:04:48,455 --> 02:04:50,580
Oh, Lord.
2019
02:04:55,330 --> 02:04:57,163
How did it go so wrong?
2020
02:04:59,746 --> 02:05:01,747
It was supposed to be so simple.
2021
02:05:01,830 --> 02:05:03,788
The doctor gives the signal.
2022
02:05:16,288 --> 02:05:18,705
Samson retrieves the jewel.
2023
02:05:19,955 --> 02:05:22,788
The Lazarus door serves its purpose.
2024
02:05:26,871 --> 02:05:30,246
All caught on camera the way we planned.
2025
02:05:30,871 --> 02:05:33,663
Dr. Nat would drive off
with Wicks' body in his truck
2026
02:05:34,580 --> 02:05:37,830
and dispose of it
in that nasty gook in his cellar.
2027
02:05:37,913 --> 02:05:41,997
And the next day, Samson would
tell the tale of the risen saint
2028
02:05:42,080 --> 02:05:46,080
and his word of blessing
to his faithful groundskeeper
2029
02:05:46,163 --> 02:05:49,080
before ascending back into heaven.
2030
02:05:49,746 --> 02:05:51,163
A miracle.
2031
02:05:51,746 --> 02:05:53,580
It would have been perfect.
2032
02:05:55,496 --> 02:05:57,538
I wasn't supposed to be there.
2033
02:05:57,621 --> 02:05:59,746
You most certainly were not.
2034
02:06:00,538 --> 02:06:01,538
Did you know
2035
02:06:01,621 --> 02:06:04,705
what had happened
when you found Samson's body?
2036
02:06:04,788 --> 02:06:06,497
I had an idea.
2037
02:06:06,580 --> 02:06:08,663
No, no!
2038
02:06:09,330 --> 02:06:11,163
But I had to be sure.
2039
02:06:14,621 --> 02:06:15,830
Praise be.
2040
02:06:16,330 --> 02:06:17,538
It's accomplished.
2041
02:06:36,038 --> 02:06:39,371
Oh. Oh. Oh.
2042
02:06:42,288 --> 02:06:44,205
Then he told me the fairy tale
2043
02:06:44,288 --> 02:06:47,371
of how everything
had gone according to plan.
2044
02:06:48,830 --> 02:06:52,288
It was only then that I told him
I'd been to the crypt.
2045
02:06:54,080 --> 02:06:56,746
And I knew he was lying.
2046
02:06:58,496 --> 02:07:00,621
And then he told me the truth.
2047
02:07:05,413 --> 02:07:07,830
Shit. We can't let him see us.
2048
02:07:16,413 --> 02:07:17,621
Jesus.
2049
02:07:20,621 --> 02:07:22,246
My second mistake.
2050
02:07:22,746 --> 02:07:27,371
Underestimating the temptation
of Eve's Apple.
2051
02:07:28,621 --> 02:07:32,997
Our agreed mission was to destroy it
or throw it in the sea.
2052
02:07:33,080 --> 02:07:37,580
But all this power will I give thee.
2053
02:07:38,496 --> 02:07:41,538
Christ himself could resist temptation,
2054
02:07:41,621 --> 02:07:44,913
but this desperate little man,
2055
02:07:45,413 --> 02:07:48,621
all that stood in his way
was Samson and I.
2056
02:07:49,455 --> 02:07:51,455
Now, here was his opportunity.
2057
02:07:52,330 --> 02:07:55,497
To remove his obstacles.
2058
02:07:56,580 --> 02:08:00,580
Frame a young priest with a violent past
2059
02:08:00,663 --> 02:08:02,580
and keep the jewel.
2060
02:08:04,538 --> 02:08:05,288
He took it.
2061
02:08:09,913 --> 02:08:13,788
Then all that remained in his way was me.
2062
02:08:14,788 --> 02:08:19,371
He had poisoned my coffee
with a lethal dose of pentobarbital.
2063
02:08:20,288 --> 02:08:22,913
No remedy once ingested.
2064
02:08:23,663 --> 02:08:24,913
Mm, painless.
2065
02:08:24,996 --> 02:08:27,913
A little numbness in the lips.
2066
02:08:28,580 --> 02:08:31,663
Then in ten minutes,
time for your final prayer.
2067
02:08:32,496 --> 02:08:35,663
Then he begged me to understand
why he was doing all this.
2068
02:08:35,746 --> 02:08:39,205
That the money would lure back
his harpy wife,
2069
02:08:39,288 --> 02:08:41,205
blah, blah, blah.
2070
02:08:41,913 --> 02:08:44,163
I told him I understood.
2071
02:08:45,496 --> 02:08:47,496
I understood why he did it.
2072
02:08:48,788 --> 02:08:49,871
Oh.
2073
02:08:51,955 --> 02:08:54,580
I had understood it all.
2074
02:09:14,788 --> 02:09:16,788
These things I did with
2075
02:09:17,538 --> 02:09:20,163
hatred in my heart.
2076
02:09:25,246 --> 02:09:27,663
Vengeance is mine, said the Lord.
2077
02:09:33,205 --> 02:09:36,705
And that is the story the crime
scene will tell the world, but...
2078
02:09:39,580 --> 02:09:41,496
...inside my heart,
2079
02:09:42,246 --> 02:09:43,455
I know.
2080
02:09:47,538 --> 02:09:49,163
Vengeance is mine.
2081
02:09:52,996 --> 02:09:56,497
These sins I confess to you, Father.
2082
02:09:56,580 --> 02:09:59,871
I have lied,
I have killed,
2083
02:10:00,580 --> 02:10:01,788
and now
2084
02:10:02,788 --> 02:10:05,330
I have topped it all off
with a real doozy.
2085
02:10:13,080 --> 02:10:14,622
Father. Quickly now, quickly.
2086
02:10:14,705 --> 02:10:15,997
What's happening?
2087
02:10:16,080 --> 02:10:18,205
I knew when I saw her lips...
2088
02:10:20,246 --> 02:10:21,872
it was already too late.
2089
02:10:23,788 --> 02:10:25,705
She's taken the pentobarbital.
2090
02:10:25,788 --> 02:10:28,705
-Oh. Oh, God. Call the ambulance now!
-On it!
2091
02:10:28,788 --> 02:10:31,288
There might be a poison kit
in the prowler!
2092
02:10:42,788 --> 02:10:44,413
Forgive me, Father,
2093
02:10:45,621 --> 02:10:47,038
for all you have endured.
2094
02:10:48,705 --> 02:10:53,538
Forgive me, Lord, for...
for Wicks and Nat and...
2095
02:10:55,746 --> 02:10:56,955
Samson.
2096
02:10:57,580 --> 02:10:59,205
My sweet Samson.
2097
02:11:00,288 --> 02:11:01,496
And Grace.
2098
02:11:06,080 --> 02:11:08,163
Martha.
2099
02:11:08,913 --> 02:11:10,121
Grace.
2100
02:11:12,705 --> 02:11:13,913
You're safe now.
2101
02:11:16,746 --> 02:11:17,955
Let it go.
2102
02:11:19,538 --> 02:11:21,163
Let the hatred go.
2103
02:11:26,538 --> 02:11:27,621
Grace.
2104
02:11:31,288 --> 02:11:32,413
Yes.
2105
02:11:33,288 --> 02:11:34,705
I see it now.
2106
02:11:36,621 --> 02:11:38,246
That poor girl.
2107
02:11:41,413 --> 02:11:43,246
Forgive me, Grace.
2108
02:11:47,455 --> 02:11:48,663
Father...
2109
02:11:51,663 --> 02:11:53,205
you're really good at this.
2110
02:11:58,788 --> 02:12:00,955
God, the father of mercies,
2111
02:12:01,705 --> 02:12:04,122
through the death
and resurrection of His Son
2112
02:12:04,205 --> 02:12:06,913
has reconciled the world to Himself
2113
02:12:07,663 --> 02:12:11,830
and poured out the Holy Spirit
for the forgiveness of sins,
2114
02:12:12,663 --> 02:12:14,497
and through the ministry of the Church,
2115
02:12:14,580 --> 02:12:17,080
may God grant you pardon and peace,
2116
02:12:18,080 --> 02:12:20,288
and I absolve you of your sins.
2117
02:12:28,080 --> 02:12:31,288
In the name of the Father and of the Son
2118
02:12:32,371 --> 02:12:33,788
and the Holy Spirit.
2119
02:12:49,496 --> 02:12:50,580
Shit.
2120
02:13:20,121 --> 02:13:21,955
The jewel was never found.
2121
02:13:26,205 --> 02:13:27,705
{\an8}The church closed for a while.
2122
02:13:28,621 --> 02:13:31,788
{\an8}The flock,
what was left of them, scattered.
2123
02:13:32,371 --> 02:13:37,913
{\an8}Some got what they wanted only to discover
the one thing every holy man knows...
2124
02:13:42,288 --> 02:13:43,913
{\an8}God has a sense of humor.
2125
02:13:49,455 --> 02:13:51,871
And some got a fresh start.
2126
02:13:52,538 --> 02:13:55,371
Maybe to find a path
that's theirs, I hope so.
2127
02:13:59,121 --> 02:14:00,746
And some got their miracle.
2128
02:14:02,038 --> 02:14:04,455
Not being cured or fixed,
2129
02:14:05,121 --> 02:14:08,122
but finding the sustaining power
to wake up every day
2130
02:14:08,205 --> 02:14:10,413
and do what we're here to do
2131
02:14:11,288 --> 02:14:12,913
in spite of the pain.
2132
02:14:14,080 --> 02:14:15,288
Daily bread.
2133
02:14:22,621 --> 02:14:24,621
And that's what I pray for with you.
2134
02:14:25,496 --> 02:14:27,413
That you find what you're looking for.
2135
02:14:30,788 --> 02:14:33,330
-Where is it? You know.
-No! Cy, Cy!
2136
02:14:33,413 --> 02:14:35,163
Goddamn it, I know you both know.
2137
02:14:35,246 --> 02:14:37,663
This is your last chance
or we're gonna drag you into court.
2138
02:14:37,746 --> 02:14:39,497
Mr. Wicks, control yourself.
2139
02:14:39,580 --> 02:14:42,205
We'd hoped this mediation
would resolve this matter.
2140
02:14:42,288 --> 02:14:44,288
She gave it to them
and they're hiding it. I know.
2141
02:14:44,371 --> 02:14:47,538
We've allowed your representatives to
search the church and rectory thoroughly.
2142
02:14:47,621 --> 02:14:49,247
They found nothing.
2143
02:14:49,330 --> 02:14:51,747
Also, Mr. Blanc was there
when Martha passed
2144
02:14:51,830 --> 02:14:53,913
and he denies anything untoward.
2145
02:14:55,496 --> 02:14:58,330
Hey.
2146
02:14:58,830 --> 02:14:59,913
Hey!
2147
02:15:00,496 --> 02:15:03,288
Any hint you've sold it, any big
charity donations, you fix the roof,
2148
02:15:03,371 --> 02:15:06,372
you upgrade your shitty communion wine,
I will watch,
2149
02:15:06,455 --> 02:15:08,788
I will audit, I will find out.
2150
02:15:09,621 --> 02:15:12,038
I hope you come back
to the church someday, Cy.
2151
02:15:12,580 --> 02:15:14,705
Your real inheritance is in Christ.
2152
02:15:25,580 --> 02:15:28,288
Little punk bitch.
2153
02:15:32,455 --> 02:15:34,497
His video with you is still trending.
2154
02:15:34,580 --> 02:15:35,663
Yes.
2155
02:15:35,746 --> 02:15:37,955
"Benoit Blanc 'pwned'."
2156
02:15:38,038 --> 02:15:40,955
Owned with a "P". Whatever that means.
2157
02:15:41,580 --> 02:15:43,413
We keep pushing the facts out there.
2158
02:15:43,496 --> 02:15:46,955
Martha, what really happened.
But it doesn't seem to matter.
2159
02:15:47,538 --> 02:15:51,371
Wicks truthers keep flooding our Facebook.
It's an outhouse fire.
2160
02:15:52,705 --> 02:15:54,538
Such a time to be alive.
2161
02:15:55,496 --> 02:15:58,121
You're gonna be
very popular once you open.
2162
02:15:58,830 --> 02:16:00,330
Maybe not in a good way.
2163
02:16:00,413 --> 02:16:01,996
Are you ready to take that on?
2164
02:16:03,788 --> 02:16:04,871
Let 'em come.
2165
02:16:07,455 --> 02:16:08,538
Good luck, kid.
2166
02:16:11,871 --> 02:16:14,038
Listen, uh... Um...
2167
02:16:14,538 --> 02:16:16,913
I'm...
I'm... I'm gonna go.
2168
02:16:22,330 --> 02:16:23,955
Hmm.
2169
02:16:26,830 --> 02:16:30,997
Uh, my first Mass is coming up if...
if you wanna stick around.
2170
02:16:31,080 --> 02:16:32,997
Um... That's so nice of you.
2171
02:16:33,080 --> 02:16:37,247
There is, uh...
nothing I would rather not do.
2172
02:16:37,330 --> 02:16:38,621
