"BOULET:" "Sundays, man." "Gotta love 'em..." "The hookers, the crackheads and the bangers, all home sleepin' off their Saturday nights." "Nothin' left to do but kick back with a beignet and watch the pickpockets work." "Nice attitude." "You gonna eat that whole bag yourself?" "I'm saving the rest for Ayana and Tawni." "We're having brunch in a bit." "Well, why don't you take off, man?" "Go and see them." "I'll cover you for the rest of the shift." "No, no, man, they're in church till noon." "So meet 'em." "Surprise 'em." "Oh." "You and church." "I don't see you takin' communion." "I got my beliefs." "What are you, a Jew-Bu-Bap or something?" "A what?" "Jewish Buddhist Baptist." "You know, people got a kinds of crazy notions nowadays." "We were talking about you." "Okay, truth is," "God wants me right here, watching over your troubled ass." "If you're my guardian angel, Boulet," "I got a lot more problems than I thought." "EMBRY:" "Cobb, Boulet, chug your coffee and pick up." "We're here, Cap." "What's up?" "Dispatch kicked us a 911 call." "Shots fired at St. Lazarus-- inside the church." "St. Lazarus?" "Anybody down?" "We don't know yet, but 911's still on with the caller, a Dwayne Mills." "He was just passing by when he heard two gunshots." "Right in the middle of Sunday Mass?" "According to Mills, no one's come out for, uh, seven minutes now." "I'm thinking a hostage situation." "The team is on its way." "Okay, we'll meet 'em there." "Well, there goes our day of rest." "MAN:" "I don't know." "Maybe, maybe I'm wrong." "It sounded like gunfire, and..." "And no one's come out." "You're sure." "I took cover behind that car and kept my eyes on those doors till the second you guys arrived." "Why don't you go over there and get some information..." "Glue Boy!" "You got the blueprints for this place?" "Ah... no." "BOULET:" "All right, look." "There's five rooms off the chapel, each opening into a courtyard." "The big metal doors leading to that are usually locked." "Now, they're on Lyle and DeVoie." "There's two rear entrances:" "one that leads to the back chapel; one leads to the administrative offices." "What?" "This is my family church." "I grew up in this place." "Is Tawni and Ayana in there?" "that what's going on?" "No, no, man, they're clear across town, at St. Joseph's." "We don't go here no more." "Do you guys hear that?" "'Scuse us, folks." "We're sorry." "No, we're not." "Marlin Boulet?" "I always hoped you'd walk back through that door." "Maybe not armed for war, but..." "You shut your mouth, 'cause I'm not "back."" "We're here responding to shots fired." "Shots fired?" "Yeah." "15 minutes ago." "Well, we've been in Mass since 9:00." "15 minutes ago, we were in silent prayer." "We would've heard something." "Marlin Boulet, why don't you have a little respect?" "Talkin' to Father Dennehy like that in front of all of us." "Why don't you stay out of this, My-Ann." "I have a good mind to call your captain and report you." "Do it." "Hush up." "No, she's right." "He can't come in here after all this time and ruin our Mass." "DENNEHY:" "No, no, no, Yasmine." "The police are here to protect us, so we're gonna hear them out." "Boulet, this could just be a false call." "sit down!" "Now!" "Put your hands where we can see them!" "Do it!" "Sit down!" "All right, let's start securing the doors!" "Search 'em for weapons!" "Let's go!" "Move!" "Oh, God." "That's the deacon." "Let's go!" "What was this you were saying about making a mistake?" "Make sure you check ery prayerbook holder and under the pew." "'Cause there's a killer in this church."

"If Mama finds out, we're both gonna get whupped." "Give it here." "?" "The Boulet brothers." "I didn't even have to look down, now, did I?" "Marlin was chang me, Deacon Smith." "It's all his fault." "Why don't we let your mother sort it out?" "rod!" "I was hoping to start communion before my hair fell out." "Maybe you could, uh, give Mary-Ann a hint to wrap it up?" "Of course, Father, but it's just these two are..." "Causing trouble again?" "I'll handle them." "You take the choir." "Let me see it." "Boys, before I was a priest, was a cop, and before I was a cop, I was a brother." "I saw you two scrapping over something." "Hand it over." "Please don't tell our mom." "I'll tell you what." "I'll put this in a safe place." "When I see you two sit through an entire Mass, start to finish, that's when I'll give it back." "Until then, it'll be our little secret." "Don't smile." "Peace be with you." "Get out of here." "You're clear." "Go stand with the rest of them." "I led a search-and-clear of every room." "There's nobody hiding out." "BOULET:" "Yeah, they're hiding here in plain sight." "Everybody's clean." "Well, you might want to rephrase that." "There's nothing in any of the pyerbook slots6 and there's nothing under any of those pews." "The murder weapon's here, we just might have to tear the place apart to find it." "Fine by me." "I gotta say, Tom..." "I'm disappointed." "I mean, I'm really disappointed." "A painter's tarp?" "You're ex-police, man." "That the best you can do to hide a body?" "But, since you're the boss in here," "I'll let you tell me first what went down." "From my time on the force, I seem to recall something about a right to remain silent." "As I recall, you were really good at that." "But don't worry." "You're not under arrest." "Yet." "All right!" "Listen up!" "The Ladies' Auxiliary bake sale has been postponed due to violent murder." "Now, you can check in with Mary-Ann Usher for the new dates." "So..." "let's make a deal." "Whoever talks to me first, that's who I'll go easy on." "You can't just say nothing." "Can I get a witness?" "llelujah!" "Hallelu!" "Well, since you're not witnesses, you're all suspects." "And nobody's leaving until somebody talks." "That went well." "LEBEAU:" "Seriously, Marlin, have you ever seen anything like this before" "GOODEN:" "I've read about this kind of stuff." "There's, like, group hysteria." "It's like mob mentality." "Please." "COBB:" "No, he's right." "These people have probably known each other forever." "Most of their lives." "Right." "So none of them want to talk, step outside of the group." "So I tell you what." "I say wehin the herd." "Break them down one by one." "Let's do it." "rcus." "Come here." "Nice out here, ain't it, Marcus?" "Fresh air." "Hey." "How's Beth?" "She's good." "Yeah, she looks good, too-- just like I remember." "Now, me and you, on the other hand..." "Now, tell me, who shot Jarod again?" "WOMAN:" "Let's call this what it really is: harassment." "Harassment?" "Maybe you didn't see that dead body under your altar." "So why else would I want to come in here on a Sunday and harass you?" "Not you." "Your partner, Marlin." "You know, I noticed there was some friction between Marlin and your priest, and if you don't want to talk about the deacon, maybe we should talk about that." "Like you don't know?" "Boulet and I have not been partners very long." "Besides, I'd like to hear your side of the story." "I don't really have a side." "No one really knows what happened between Marlin and Father Tom, just that it had to do with Troy, and that it ended bad, right here in church in front of everybody, and that Marlin has always held a grudge." "Who's Troy?" "Troy Boulet, Marlin's brother." "Boulet has a brother?" "Had a brother." "He's gone now." "Are you sure you're his partner?" "Shooter was probably standing right here." "In full view of everyone." "Well, he's got a welt on his cheek, a cut over his eye." "Shirt's ripped at the neck." "There was probably a fight before shots were fired." "Unless he was kicked after he died." "I don't think so." "What is th?" "It's an earring." "Our deacon took a piece of the killer." "Guess we're looking for a bloody ear." "BOULET:" "Tell me some truth." "Catch me up on church." "Where is everybody today?" "You're looking at us." "We're all that's left." "After Katrina, most of the congregation abandoned this place, just like theabandoned the city." "How y'all surviving?" "We're not." "We already found a buyer for this property." "Sell the church?" "Oh, no, the Faer Tom I know would need to be dragged up out of here." "Man, he fought to get assigned here, to stay here, and I know he fought to prect this place in the storm." "He surely did." "So if somebody came here with an offer to buy, he would give them a Hail Mary, two Our Fathers, and a boot in their ass out the door." "I would ha done the same..." "So why lie about finding a buyer?" "Deacon Smith found the buyer." "I'm not lying about this." "Oh." "So Jarod found the buyer, huh?" "That must have raised an objection with good old Tom." "It raised an objection from all of us." "Hey." "We think we found something." "We checked everyone again." "Nobody missing an earring, nobody with a bloody ear." "Which is what led us back here and that's when we spotted the blood trail." "GOODEN:" "CSU would have found it eventually." "Whenever they decide to show up." "Where's it lead to?" "Rear chapel exit." "There's blood on the cement right outside." "COBB:" "The 911 caller said no one came out front, but he wasn't watching the back." "Very nice, y'all." "Very nice... letting us believe that the killer was still in here." "Giving Mr. or Ms. Bloody Ear HAZEL:" "I shld say something." "a fat head start." "It isn't right." "It ain't right." "Stop." "God knows it ain't right!" "Hazel, please, you don't have to..." "Shh!" "Shh!" "They need to know Sean is a good boy." "Sean who?" "He never meant no harm." "Sean who?" "Hazel..." "Answer me." "Sean who?" "Sean Rieger!" "Now leave her alone, Marlin." "Leave us all alone." "COBB:" "Who is he?" "?" "We're going to call it in." "EMBRY:" "lean William Rger." "Doesn't look like the church-going type to me." "He's been in and out of juvie since he was, uh, 13." "He's got a tattoo of a sun on his chest, and he does have earrings, at least in this mug shot." "GOODEN:" "You got a last known address?" "I got annt in Algiers and he drives a '98 silver compact." "Copy that." "Why don't you guys take that." "It was your blood trail." "Okay." "A punk." "A criminal." "Something just doesn't sound right now, does it?" "I don't understand all this protection, all this love for a criminal." "Who is Sean Rieger to you?" "Marlin..." "That's Officer Boulet." "Marlin, maybyou and I should go someplace and talk..." "No, we can talk right here." "Right now." "I want to know who Sean Rieger is, why he killed the deacon and why are you keeping silent for him, and I want you to tell me in front of all these people." "It's not what you really want." "Don't tell me what I want." "Fine." "I'll tell you whatever you want to hear... after you let these people go." "So what are you?" "You Moses now?" "They're hot." "They're tired." "They've been through a lot..." "I don't care!" "u don't talk, you don't leave!" "You're tired." "You're hot." "You pass out." "Good!" "Because I will stand here until I crack you." "Come on, Boulet, pull it back." "What do you mean pull it back?" "Man, this man's lying to my face." "Let's go." "Come on." "He's laughing at us." "Man, what, are we not cops now?" "Is that what this is about?" "Huh?" "Being cops?" "Because it fee a little more personal to me, Boulet." "What are you talking about?" "I'm talkinabout your brother Troy." "Troy." "I never told you about Troy." "No, I know." "I had to hear about him from a suspect during an interrogation." "Not the way I really wanted to hear about it either." "You ain't heard about it because it ain't none of your business." "If we get accused of brutality or false imprisonment, that becomes my business." "False imprisonment?" "Of these fools?" "We got a suspect." "We have everyone's na and number." "And if we want to subpoena them later, then we can." "Now I'm not a lawyer, but even I can make an argument for why we should let them go right now, especially if the reason why we're holding them is because you got a personal grudge against the priest." "So you better level with me, Boet." "What's the deal between you and Dennehy?" "What's the deal?" "The deal is..." "he killed my brother." "She get any bigger, she gonna flip that bed right over and have me rolling right on top of her." "That's... that's how the damag got done in the first place." "Got to tie yourself down." "Oh, man, we both going to hell." "You know I came here about something, right?" "It's Troy, Tom." "He called me the other day, man." "He just wasn't sounding good." "And when I got to him, when I found him, he was at a crackhouse, man, on Rocheblave." "What shape was he in?" "That's just it." "He..." "I know it's hard to watch, Marlin." "Your mother was in here last week." "Broke down right where you're sitting." "I didn't realize it had gotten that bad." "It has." "It's not just drugs now, man." "It's other stuff, stuff that our mom couldn't even imagine, which is a blessing, I guess, maybe." "What happens when he tries to rob the wrong guy?" "or get himself into the mess that I can't get him out of?" "Friday night after Mass, can you get Troy here?" "Oh, no, man." "For one of those group things?" "Intervention?" "No, no, no, no, I'm not going to trick my brother into coming to some weird amsh." "He will not feel that way when he feels the love in the room, Marlin." "Tom." "I know." "I know it sounds corny." "As a cop, I'd have never believed it." "At first, height feel like you tricked him... but eventually, he'll thank you for it, and I'll tell you something:" "you can save his life." "COBB:" "What really happened, Boulet?" "He didn't kill your brother." "You wouldn't quit until you took him down." "BOULET:" "No, he killed him." "Might as well took the knife to him himself, but that's between me and Dennehy." "No way, man." "You can't drop a bomb like that and then walk away from it." "e you telling me that you're not going to say anything now?" "Is that what you're doing?" "Hey, the murder we need to focus on is the one right in front of us." "And talk a bomb drop-- there was bad blood between Deacon Smith and Dennehy." "I just found out that Smith was trying to sell the church right out from under the good Father." "So you think Dennehy's the killer now." "I didn't when I walked in." "But think about it." "Who's a whole congregation going to clam up for?" "A punk thug or the father of their flock who defended this place in the storm." "Right here, Apartment 1-D." "That's his car." "He's probably inside." "Clear." "Clear." "His car's out front, so he's probably on foot." "Let's get trolmen through the area-- 20-block perimeter, huh?" "(exhales):" "Ouch." "That can't be feeling good." "You know, I used to wear an earring in high school." "Nice smile, this kid." "This must be his girl." "Or fiancée." "Check it out." ""Sean, it's not you." "It's me." ""Just know that, okay?" "I'm sorry, Shania."" "A woman of few words." "Return address on the envelope says 245 Lionel." "What's yr bet that's where he's hiding out?" "BOULET:" "Times been hard, haven't they?" "Must kill you to s that big beautiful chapel with just a smattering of people on a Sunday." "Sure depress me." "The size of the congregation doesn't matter." "God loves His children just the same." "Yeah, but paying the rent's a bitch." "The church you love, defended with your life... what it must have felt like when you found out that Jarod Smith, your second-in-command, was trying to sell it right out from under you." "Move you all to another parish." "I just might hate the man." "God loves His children wherever they are." "Not exactly a denial." "Nor a confession." "Let's move." "Ayana." "AYANA:" "Okay, I don't get it." "You call me down here to talk face to face about my husband, but you won't let me in to see him." "It's a crime scene, Ayana." "I can't let you in." "It's also Marlin's old church, which he hates." "It's got to be stressing him out just to be in there." "That's what I wanted to talk to you about." "I need to know about Troy and how he died." "Oh, my God, Marlin." "Ayana, I'm worried that his stress is getting in the way of our job, and I'm probably going to have to pull him off." "He's not talking, and that's why I'm asking you." "Troy g shot." "January 2000 he got shot trying to rob a convenient store." "I'm sorry to hear that." "He was always in and out of trouble, but nobody expected it to end like that." "All right, now what's this have to do with Father Dennehy?" "Marlin wouldn't say." "ter Troy died, we left here and went to St. Joseph's." "And I tried to get him to talk about it, but..." "Tom was such a good friend." "He helped Troy get clean, but Marlin was stubborn." "Well, you know." "Yeah, I know." "(phone ringing) Maybe we should try to get him out of there." "Sorry." "One second." "Glue Boy." "Hey, man, I think we've got a line on Rieger." "He had a girlfriend who died." "LEBEAU:" "Shania Duplessis." "D-U-P-L-E-S..." "Shania?" "Oh, man." "Did you know her, Marlin?" "Marlin?" "?" "I stole all the money from my grandma's purse." "Well, boo-hoo for you, Shania." "I mean, come on, I can't listen to this all night long." "Troy." "Let her finish." "Took it all and went out and got high." "She raised me, Troy." "And I put her through that." "That and a whole lot more." "Till I listened to Father Dennehy and let the church help me get clean." "Well, I ain't you, Shania." "Whatever I'm doing," "I make sure it's my business." "Come on, Troy." "You're not very convincing saying that." "There's no way you believe it." "Look, we're the people closest to you." "You screw up your life, you take us all down with you." "So, what, I'm supposed to change my ways 'cause of all the guilt I'm feeling?" "I ain't ask none of you for nothing." "Yeah." "And you've given us nothing, too, the last couple of years." "But here we are, Troy, reaching out to you, taking our punishment, hiding how much it hurts when you don't live up." "And, Troy, the clarinet, why'd you stop playing?" "Remember, you would come over, we would go up to the rooftop." "Those were gootimes." "We need to do that again." "How many times I ask you to come work at the store?" "I wasn't just talking." "I mean it." "I want my little brother back, T, 'cause that's the person that I love." "And I feel I lost him." "I want that smart-ass that I grew up with, the man that he grew into." "Not half a man." "Not this." "DENNEHY:" "We're your family, Troy." "You feel lost, you lean on us." "Not that junk." "Us." "I'll tell you what." "I'll put this in a safe place." "Hey, Tom... why don't you open it for me right now." "Why, Marlin?" "Not satisfied yet with your level of blasphemy?" "When we were kids, you took our water gun." "We followed you and saw where you put it." "We hid right over there in the alcove." "Now, I'm asking you to open that up or I'll break it open." "(chuckles)" "Well, look-a-here." "Look-a-here." "d I'm the one guilty of blasphemy?" "What's this, Tom?" "Hmm?" "LEBEAU:" "So then we went to the girlfriend's house thinking she might be hiding him." "She's not 'cause she's dead." "Dead?" "Yeah." "When we got there, there were flowers all over the stoop, candles, cards." "No sign of Sean." "Shania Duplessis." "died ten days ago." "Accident, crashed into a retaining wall." "an's car is still at his place." "So we searching the vicinity?" "Yeah." "No one's spotted him." "Wait a sec, wait." "Says here Shania was buried at Sycamore Groves." "Terrific." "You get an A in reading." "No, I'm saying that cemetery like three blocks from Sean's place." "And that might've helped us if the funeral had been today." "No, hold up now." "Glue Boy's got a point." "If Sean did go to the cemetery, all those mausoleums, our patrols wouldn't be able to see him from the street." "Let's take a ride." "(whispers):" "Hey, Cap." "Don't move, man!" "BOULET:" "Hiding the murder weapon in the Holy Sacrament." "How much further do we go, huh?" "How much ugliness do I have to uncover before you tell me the truth?" "You don't understand what's going on here, Marlin." "I don't?" "Well, why don't you tell me, Marcus." "Because I was baptized in this church." "I got married in this church." "I am one of you." "So I deserve to know." "You stopped being one of us years ago, when you left." "Deserted like all the others." "(phone rings):" "Cobb." "Hey..." "I am not a deserter." "DENNEHY:" "That'srue." "Marlin left because he felt he had to." "Who asked you?" "I don't need you to defend me." "Boulet." "What?" "They got Sean Rieger." "He confessed to the killing of the Deacon." "You ain't changed one bit, have you?" "Keepin' people's secrets when you deem it right." "Like God appnted you." "Boulet..." "I am longer a kid with a water gun." "I am a cop." "And the trouble that Sean's in just got a whole lot worse on account of you tryin' to help him." "No, he's not." "What was that?" "Sean didn't do it." "He's protecting me, just like everybody else." "You were right, Marlin." "I killed Jarod Smith" ", man, you're killin' me... killin' me!" "DENNEHY:" "Stop your cryin'." "You should've learned by now, Boulet, never underestimate a man of God." "And you, Father, should never underestimate a dark horse." "Bet... on... black." "Mate in three." "Mm-hmm." "Damn it." "BOULET:" "Yeah." "That's my little bro." "Beatin' up on a priest." "That's the price he pays for getting me sober." "I'm not exactly a slouch, here." "I gave you a run forour money." "Whatever makes you feel better, Father T." "Ooh." "All right, pride comes before the fall." "Amen." "Preach it." "Mm-hmm." "Show me." "What?" "BOULET:" "Show me." "'Cause I don't believe a word that comes out h.of y Please, Marlin, don't..." "Do it." "That way, everybody can get back to their Sunday." "We had... come down off the altar." "Jarod didn't want to argue in front of everyone, but I said no." "I said," "I wanted him to stand his ground and admit what he did." "We argued." "It quickly escalated into a shouting match, and I think" "I may have been the first one to push, but he pushed back." "And before I knew it, we were striking each other." "The next thing I know Sean Rier is here, trying to break it up, pulling us apart." "Okay, let's try it again." "Why did you kill Deacon Smith?" "He was a bastard." "He deserved to die." "And why did he deserve to die?" "Because." "?" "I'm sure glad I'm not defending you in court, Sean." "The "because" motive is a little hard to whip up sympathy for." "I don't need your sympathy!" "And I don't need no defense." "You want to put me on death row?" "Do it." "Sean was trying to restrain Jarod." "That's when Jarod must have grabbed Sean's earring" "I mean, we all heard the scream, saw the blood." "Sean fell to the floor and grbed his ear and a gun dropped out of his waistband." "No one knew he even had one until right then." "And it slid across the floor, anstopped in front of me, right there." "I grabbed it, stood up, and without thinking..." "I fired it." "So is that what happened?" "Is that the truth and nothing but the truth?" "Yes." "That's what happened." "Hey, Cap, it'se." "I may need you to do a favor." "You still got Rieger in custody?" "I'm gonna need you to bring him to the church." "I'm gonna need him to confirm a little story." "No..." "I ain't doing this!" "No!" "I get why you don't want to be here now." "But what I don't get is why you were here in the first place." "Well, come on over here, little gangster boy." "Sean." "We're gonna have us" "Sean, a little show-and-tell, all right." "I already told them I did it." "Don't fall on my account." "Okay, shut up." "Right here." "Now, Sean, did Father Dennehy do that?" "Sean!" "(clears throat):" "Yeah, he..." "It was him." "Okay." "Now... ?" "He already told his story." "Now it's your turn." "The deacon and the priest, they were fighting, right?" "Yeah, they were, they were fighting." "'Cause Father Dennehy, he got promoted to bishop, and the deacon got jealous." "That's right." "That's right, he w jealous." "You stepped in to break it up, right?" "Yeah." "So, I-I-I grabbed the deacon and I was like, yo, man, it-it ain't worth it!" "And deacon started throwing down, so I hit back." "He tore my earring straight off and I went down." "My-my glock slid out of reach." "Preacher picked it up... and blasted twice." "Well, at least we know now what parts are true." "These guys didn't have time to conspire on those details." "What?" "We know you're lying, Sean." "Wait, man, I, look..." "Hey." "I know why you did what you did." "Believe me, understand you." "I knew Shania real well." "Shwas an addict." "A junkie at the age of 14." "But she came to this church to get clean, rit?" "Right?" "Isn't that right, Hazel?" "She trusted him." "And so wld I, and so would you." "But I bet you anything she was high when she drove her car into that wall." "Marlin..." "Marlin!" "She was using again, wasn't she?" "She was usg again and she told him, and he didn't tell you." "He kept that information from you, and she's dead!" "What did you do?" "You found the dope, too, didn't you?" "Marlin, she wasn't high!" "And this isn't about you." "Your fight's with me." "If you want payback for what I did, now's your chance." "Arrest me." "Got your call, Lieutenant." "Where is he?" "Oh, God." "Troy, look at me." "Your eyes are dilated." "Are you high?" "Are you high right now?" "It's okay." "No, it's not okay." "You were shot trying to rob a convenience store." "?" "I'm your brother." "Why didn't you come to me for help?" "We gotta move him." "It's okay." "I'm..." "I'm going to Heaven." "I..." "I confessed." "I'll be safe." "Confessed?" "What are you talking about?" "Father said he'd pray for me." "What?" "What?" "Sorry I screwed up, big bro." "Guess I always do, don't I?" "Sh Troy..." "Come on, come on." "I'm right here, okay, Troy?" "I'm right here with you, brother-- hold on!" "In our reading for today, 15th chapter of St. John, verse 11." ""That ye love one another as I..." ""...as I have loved you." ""These things I have spoken unto you that my joy might remain in you."" "Marlin..." "You knew." "You knew!" "You knew heas still using." "He's dead because of it." "You get your hands off me!" "No." "Troy confessed to me." "I wouldn't betray his confidence then, and I won't betray it now." "Then this is on you." "His death, this blood, is on you." "Don't do this, Marlin." "Justell me what happened." "Look, I didn't do anything." "You did it." "And you're the one that's going toto stand in judgmenfor it." "And if God doesn't get you first," "I'm gonna make sure that I find a way to." "No." "You're not going down for this." "You kept my brother's secret under the seal of the confessional." "You thought you were protecting him, just like you thought you were protectinSean." "The difference is, he didn't walk into a confession booth." "He shot a man right in front of you." "No, he didn't." "Oh, come on, man, don't tell me you're going to believe this punk." "He's just going along with Dennehy's story." "When he was collared, he copped to the murder himself." "Before he even knew, Dennehy took credit for it." "I believe the priest would confess toave Sean, but there is no way that Sean would confess to save the priest." "The gun slid across the floor in both their stories, but someone picked it up." "Someone they're both protecting." "Come here." "Ma'am, where are your gloves?" "She didn't wear gloves." "?" "Well, what do you know?" "Gunshot residue." "Love Tap." "Yeah." "Maybe you'd like to come with us." "I'll tell you now, if you want to know." "Everyone here already knows." "My heart's with y'all." "I might have k but not for someone else to go to jail." "Hazel..." "What did Deacon Smith do?" "He killed Shania." "He killed my granddaughter long before she killed herself." "Killed herself?" "I got this note in the mail from her, two days after her funeral." ""Grams," ""I know you're feeling pain right now," ""but please know that I am not." ""I thought I got over this years ago but, lately," ""it's been getting worse." ""Deacon Smith has been taking me again, this time in my nightmares..." Please don't read that again." "So Hazel came to church, and she read the letter out loud for everyone, didn't she?" "You heard it, and you couldn't stand it, so you took a run at the deacon, didn't you?" "I wanted to kill the bastard." "But you didn't get a chance to." "I did not know Sean had a weapon on hi but I was glad to e that gun." "Maybe God put it before me, or maybe it was Shania." "Because, if I had known what Smith did to my baby girl," "I would have pulled that trigger years ago, and maybe... maybe..." "I would have had one more day with her." "Hey..." "Hey, wait up!" "Wait up!" "Am I interrupting something?" "I don't want to break your focus." "Little late for that." "Remember when I had come to you and asked about advice for Troy and you said I should start bringing him to church." "Yeah, of course." "Well, that's not why I was there originally." "I came to confess my sins." "Your sins?" "Yeah." "See, the day before, Troy had called me and begged me to come to this apartment quick, and when I got there," "I found him bloody, scared out of his mind, standing over a body." "The body was his dealer's." "Tom... this was a bad man." "I pulled his record later and he was the suspect in two drug hits, but that doesn't change my crime." "I looked the other way for somebody that I love and he got killed for it." "No." "If I had arrested Troy, things may have been different." "I killed him, Tom." "Marlin, it's true you're responsible for your actions, but Troy was responsible for his, as well." "You don't need for me to forgive you." "Or God or Troy." "You need to learn to forgive yourself, no matter how long it takes." "And you need to come back to church." "With Ayana and Tawni." "I mean, St. Joseph's, they're okay." "It's just kind of a long drive and..." "Father Weirmaa-- God bleshim-- hoo, his sermons are kind of boring." "Why do you think I don't go?" "(both chuckle)" "You know, they say this game's a whole lot easier to win without an opponent." "Not as much fun." "You want to play?" "No." "Troy was the expert." "I don't play very well." "Well, sure you do." "You just need to practice." "(quietly):" "Okay."
