"Shit!" "I've gotta sign out my shift." "Hurry, then." "See you tomorrow night?" "Just go!" "!" "Behind the line!" "Step forward.. ." "Uhh!" "Fuck off!" "Get your 'ands off me you gay cunts!" "!" "We know what you're carrying Rook!" "I'll fuckin' tear your heads off!" "!" "You're giving us no choice." "Go on then, finger-fuck me dyke bitch!" "Hello handsome..." "You've got the look of a saintly pervert about you..." "Holy Mary Mother of God." "Prayer for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death." "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost." "Forever and ever." "Amen." "And who will forgive you, father?" "Jesus will absolve us both, with his love and forgiveness." "I love you..." "Where did you get these from?" "Even priests have a past." "Trust me." "Tell me about it." "No." "Not yet." "I wish Rook were here..." "Then I wouldn't be here." "Hey, it wasn't your fault..." "Want to borrow one of mine?" "No use to me mate..." "You got any gash mags?" "Need to...get rid of some tension, you know, bash the bishop." "Well, I might have some nun porn somewhere." "Didn't mean to lose it bud." "Words do me 'ead in." "Story of my life, can't handle me temper." "S'why I'm in 'ere." "I was hooked on crack, couldn't handle it." "Made me do fucked up shit." "But I'm clean now." "So erm...what's getting to you now?" "I'm gettin' well squeezed about that scrag." "I had some for a bit, but got rid of it." "I ain't no pusher, I know what that shit does to ya!" "Calm down!" "Look, just tell the governor who you were carrying it for." "The longer you hold out the more they'll squeeze you." "Those toxic cunts are only interested in fingers shoved up my ass." "Just like those sick fuckers in care..." "Oh mate. .." "Who were you protecting Rook?" "Because I don't see anybody protecting you." "Sweet." "Like two caged lovebirds." "Father Gillie, isn't it?" "Got a taste for pretty young things I hear..." "Fatherly love is it.. ." "Father." "I'm sorry, you must have me confused with somebody else." "Really." "Well it is so easy to make a mistake around here." "I'll catch you later." "Is that who you're protecting?" "Max." "He got busted for swindling people, and murdering his wife." "Creeps around like an effing ghost, like he owns the place." "Don't cross him, that's all I can tell ya." "Ah, fuck." "Goodnight." "Chief." "Officer Crane." "An excellent first few months." "Exemplary in fact." "Thank you." "But I hear you voiced a few objections to our procedures." "I wouldn't say objections Chief..." "just concerns." "Oh, it's not a criticism Martin." "In fact, I admire your integrity." "We could do with more like you around here." "It's just that some things are left the way they are." "Don't get me wrong." "I'm all for new ideas, but as I'm sure you can appreciate, it's a difficult balance to strike." "Chief, when I chose this profession I wanted to make a difference." "I don't think any of us walk a straight path." "I'm not that different to them." "Making choices every day, good and bad." "And in the end. ..we are those choices." "You're quite the idealist aren't you Martin?" "Not many thinkers on my team." "I wonder how long your evangelism's gonna last?" "Maybe we should get you a dog collar?" "No need Chief, this uniform's quite enough." "Well..." "Officer Crane..." "I'm going to be watching your progress very closely." "Just lay off the preaching OK?" "They're convicts, not converts." "Enter..." "'Scuse me." "Hey handsome..." "You're not too bad yourself." "Just out of interest, when did you know.. ." "What?" "That I wanted you?" "First time I saw you." "I could see beyond the halo.. ." "Never thought I'd find someone in here though!" "What about you?" "My first love was always...." "Body of Christ..." "Amen." "The Church assists with denial, in fact it actively promotes it." "It's.. . rooted in guilt, steeped in hypocrisy." "I thought I could change things." "How did you cope?" "I had music to help me." "Music became my passion." "It was my mistress." "It got me through a lot." "Shielded me from temptation." "Music saved me for a while, but, now I'm deaf without it." "Muted before God." "Was that too much?" "Just enough." "Even in darkness there is light.. . and in the silence heavenly choirs sing..." "That's the beginning of a homily if ever I heard one." "Are you sure you're not after my old job?" "You know, you're the second person to say that..." "Fuck..." "I thought I was the only one on this level!" "My place next time." "Jesus will absolve us both, with his love and forgiveness." "I love you..." "You're shittin' me, right?" "I ain't reading' kiddies books in front of this lot." "Well once you've got your head around that..." "You can move on, to the heavy stuff." "Enjoy" "If it's inspiration your looking for Father, why not lose yourself in an old classic?" "Take a trip down memory lane with the word of the Lord!" "Fuck off!" "Little gay boy reading his kids book..." "How sweet, eh?" "Fuck off!" "Fuck you!" "Looks like the lads will have to help him out with his late fees." "Fuck off!" "Get off me!" "Fuck off!" "Shut up!" "Oi !" "Can we get some help please!" "Get out!" "Come on lads." "We'll sell tickets next time..." "Is he okay?" "That was it for me." "Seeing you stand up for Rook like that." "You'd have done the same thing." "They'd have choked him to death otherwise." "I didn't have a choice." "But you did." "You chose to help." "We're defined by the choices we make." "So, here are questions for us to consider today:" "Have you ever been mad at someone who has made you do something you didn't want to do?" "Or perhaps someone has asked you to do something that you know you cannot do." "Or perhaps you've thought about doing something that you hate yourself for even contemplating?" "Would you forgive them?" "Would you forgive yourself and would they forgive you?" "God allows us to forgive." "But does God expect us to forgive in all circumstances?" "And if he repents forgive him, forgive me." "I don't think that he does." "He is infallible." "We are not." "In the Bible, Luke 1 7:3 says, "take heed to yourselves," "If thy brother should trespass against thee, rebuke him," "And if he repents, forgive him."" "Matthew also says," "If thy Brother shall trespass against thee, go tell him his fault between thee and him alone." "If he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother." "If he shall not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more," "That in the mouth of two, or three witnesses every word may be established."" "If he shall neglect to hear them, tell it to the church:" "But if he neglect to hear the church let him be unto thee as a heathen man." "And if he neglects to hear the church, let him be unto thee as a heathen man!"" "I wouldn't bother." "It'll only hurt you more than it hurts her." "Hey..." "It's okay." "What you did back there, is a good thing." "If you hadn't stepped in, they'd be scraping Rook's face of the library floor by now." "Jack?" "Get off!" "Don't touch me!" "Ahh!" "Fucking perv!" "They say cleanliness is next to Godliness!" "It'll take more than soap and water to wash away your sins, Father." "What the fuck?" "Shut the fuck up!" "Hit him again!" "No!" "No!" "Danny!" "Rook!" "Danny, it's me!" "Shhhh!" "Another bad dream?" "About..." "Danny?" "Kind of." "Rook's in there as well now." "Look, if you don't want to talk..." "I didn't have a choice." "OK?" "Thank you" "I'm ready." "We have more time." "The leukaemia had got worse." "His legs were crippled." "And the pain..." "I had no choice." "It's cold." "It's too hot now!" "It's too cold!" "Our parents died when Danny was very young." "And then this." "God moves in mysterious ways." "Not yet." "Please Jack..." "Lord forgive me, I know not what I do." "Our father who art in heaven." "Hallowed be thy name..." "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven."" "Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses," "As we forgive those who trespass against us." "Amen."" "That was the moment I lost everything..." "That was the moment I lost my faith." "I lost God." "That was the choice that made me." "You did the best thing." "You've more than served your sentence Jack." "Not long and we'll both be out of here." "Free to move on with our lives." "Thank you." "For what?" "For giving me back what I never thought I'd have again." "A future." "Well, in the mean time..." "Careful." "That took years of hard graft to achieve." "I know how fragile these things can be, Miss Avery." "Talking of which. .." "...the lads are getting restless." "They need something to calm them down if you catch my drift." "I'm not here for your convenience Max." "Look, this stops now." "I'm the one wearing the uniform, not you." "Found your next infatuation?" "Feeling a little sexually frustrated are we... .. ." "Chief?" "Handsome isn't he." "How long before he quits from too many over-eager appraisals?" "I'll see what I can do for your lads." "We're done." "Thank you..." "Heather." "Oh, by the way, he's really not that into you." "You see, it appears the lovely Martin kneels before a different altar than yours..." "Star jump boys come on!" "I have it on good authority he likes to make his confessions on the night shift." "I guess you could call it Midnight Mass. .." "What do you want?" "I know you like to operate a don't ask don't tell policy around here." "But really..." "I want you to fire Officer Crane." "The priest needs to be persuaded to repent." "At least I give a fucking shit about them !" "Oh you gave them something all right!" "Let's call it penance for your pecadillos and pushing." "So if you want to keep this a secret.. ." "...you've got some big decisions to make." "I'd love one of these you know." "Your parents must be so proud." "That's it!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Judgement day, Father." "I wouldn't bother." "Luckily for all of us there are a few blind spots in this establishment." "I know what you did to your brother." "An eye, for an eye." "Enjoy Hades Father." "Burn in Hell." "Take it easy." "I'll get you some water." "Wait how long have I been out of it?" "About two weeks." "Two weeks..." "Fan mail." "Don't go reading them all at once..." "lover boy." "( Coughing )" "Hey..." "Awright?" "Have...you been praying for me?" "Better?" "Yeah, I'll live..." "You ain't got any of that nun porn have ya?" "Is there anything else I can do for you?" "Nah." "It's just good to see a friendly face." "Dearest Jack," "Not sure if these letters have been getting through to you, but I've heard what happened to you since I left." "It's been an absolute nightmare. .." "It gives me hope that time both our sentences are coming to an end," "I can hardly control the feelings of excitement within me" "To see you step into the new world, where we'll both be free." "Before we start Father, would you like me to hear your confession?" "No." "Thank you." "Then let us pray for God's guidance..." "There's really, no need for that Father." "Why are you here?" "Heavenly Father, we turn to thee for your strength and for your love." "In honor of your sacrifice on the cross for our sins," "And in your glory we humbly beg your forgiveness." "Bless and deliver Father Gillie from his failings," "And set him back upon the path of true righteousness and hope." "May he embrace your divinity and love and recognize once again your power." "And so be filled with your spirit." "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost." "Amen." "My son, it has been argued by many of late that the Holy Catholic Church, has not the power to preach love when so many of its disciples have failed our Lord's teachings." "We committed abominable crimes." "Your case is different, of course, but equally problematic." "Our Lord cast himself out to resist the taunts of the Devil," "For forty days and forty nights he fought the demons." "My son, what are your plans upon release?" "How can we help with your rehabilitation?" "It seems the church wants to hide me away, Father Elliot." "Where were you at my trial?" "Where have you been these last eighteen months?" "Am I really that much of an embarrassment?" "You have grown bitter and resentful Jack." "God will forgive." "This is the path he has chosen for you." "A test of your love for him." "But can I forgive God Father Elliot?" "Only God can save your soul." "My soul is saved." "By love." "This love is not God's love." "It is a sin too far!" "So God will forgive the man who, through love, relieved his brother's pain but not the man who loves another?" "No." "That hypocrisy is not the teachings of the God I once loved." "To choose such a life is to defy God and to deny his very existence." "I was gay when I took my vows, and I'll be gay before God if I choose to let him back into my life." "Your sermon is over Father." "And yet, I will pray for you." "And ask God for his forgiveness." "Repent Jack, repent!" "Before God condemns your soul to eternal damnation!" "There are far worse things than damnation, Father!" "Well, well." "Look who's risen from the dead.. ." "You're looking a lot better I must say." "Well, better than the last time I saw you anyway." "Just fuckin' stay away from me..." "Easy." "The debt's been paid." "It was just the lads getting a little...carried away." "They thought you were a bit like Father Jack..." "What're you saying?" "Don't you know?" "What really happened with..." "his brother." "The things that go on behind closed doors." "But then of course you'd know about that." "With the childhood in care." "Don't be fooled by the priest, Rook." "Or you could be next." "Here, you're going to need this..." ".. .and you might want this too." "The path of the righteous man," "Is beset upon all sides," "By the tyranny of evil men." "And to thine own self be true." "As light follows day I know who I am." "Do you?" "Don't be fooled by the priest, Rook." "The things that go on behind closed doors." "Fucking perv!" "But then of course you'd know about that, with a childhood in care." "Just like those sick fuckers in care." "Rook!" "Jack!" "Fucking hell!" "Get him!" "J-Jack!" "Go for help!" "Go for help!" "For Christ's sake!" "Come on!" "No!"
