00:04:37 What do you do when you're not sure?
00:04:42 That's the topic of my sermon today.
00:04:46 Last year when
00:04:50 who among us did not experience
00:04:55 Despair?
00:04:57 Which way? What now?
00:05:03 What do I say to my kids?
00:05:09 It was a time of people sitting together.
00:05:11 bound together
00:05:18 But think of that.
00:05:21 Your bond with your fellow being
00:05:28 It was a public experience.
00:05:32 but we were in it together.
00:05:36 How much worse is it then
00:05:43 stricken by a private calamity?
00:05:47 "No one knows I'm sick." "No one
00:05:56 "No one knows
00:06:00 Imagine the isolation.
00:06:03 Now you see the world
00:06:06 On one side of the glass,
00:06:10 and on the other side, you.
00:06:13 (SNEEZING)
00:06:14 -God bless you, Sister.
00:06:18 I wanna tell you a story.
00:06:22 A cargo ship sank one night.
00:06:29 and only this one sailor survived.
00:06:32 He found a lifeboat, rigged a sail,
00:06:36 and being of a nautical discipline
00:06:37 tumed his eyes to the heavens
00:06:41 He set a course for his home,
00:06:46 WILLIAM: Just keeps going on.
00:06:47 Clouds rolled in,
00:06:50 and for the next 20 nights,
00:06:58 He thought he was on course,
00:07:03 And as the days rolled on,
00:07:10 he began to have doubts.
00:07:13 -He just keeps on going.
00:07:17 was he still going on
00:07:20 Or was he horribly lost
00:07:28 No way to know.
00:07:31 The message of the constellations,
00:07:34 had he imagined it because
00:07:39 -Or had he seen truth once...
00:07:43 ...and now had to hold on to it
00:07:50 There are those of you in church today
00:07:53 who know exactly
00:07:58 and I wanna say to you,
00:08:02 doubt can be a bond as powerful
00:08:11 When you are lost, you are not alone.

00:08:58 That was some sermon.
00:09:02 Did it mean something to you?
00:09:05 I wanna do that. I wanna be a priest.
00:09:10 You'd be a good one, I'm sure. Here.

00:13:34 Franklin D. Roosevelt, together with
00:13:36 Abraham Lincoln
00:13:39 was perhaps our greatest president.
00:13:42 1 3 million people in this country
00:13:45 They'd lost hope,

00:13:55 What did he mean by that? James?
00:14:00 I think he was trying to say
00:14:02 -You know? So don't get so emotionaI.
00:14:06 Maybe he was saying that

00:16:45 Huh?
00:16:46 What was
00:16:52 Well, doubt.
00:16:58 -Why?
00:17:02 Well, sermons come from somewhere,
00:17:05 Is Father Flynn in doubt?
00:17:07 Is he concerned
00:17:12 I suppose you'd have to ask him.
00:17:13 No, that would not be appropriate.
00:17:15 He is my superior,
00:17:17 and if he were troubled
00:17:20 or to the monsignor.
00:17:22 We do not share

00:19:32 -Oh, dear. So he's still bleeding?
00:19:37 His nose just let loose
00:19:38 and started gushing
00:19:41 Was it spontaneous?
00:19:42 -What?
00:19:46 -What else would it be?
00:19:49 VERONICA: Mmm-hmm.
00:19:51 You mean you think

00:19:58 No.
00:20:02 You are a very innocent person,

00:20:53 -Are you in control of your class?
00:20:58 Usually more students
00:21:02 I try to take care of things myself.
00:21:05 That can be an error.

00:22:08 JAMES: Is something the matter?
00:22:11 -Why? Is something the matter?
00:22:16 -Well, then, nothing's the matter then.
00:22:20 -What's this?
00:22:23 A ballpoint pen.
00:22:26 The students are not using them
00:22:29 No, of course not.

00:22:44 Ballpoints make them press down.
00:22:46 When they press down,
00:22:48 -I don't allow them ballpoint pens.
00:22:54 Penmanship is dying
00:22:58 I hope not.
00:23:01 You should frame something.

00:31:55 It is unsettling
00:31:57 I feel less close to God.

00:39:04 Yeah. Sister Veronica fell,
00:39:07 -Is she all right?
00:39:12 -Her sight isn't good, is it?
00:39:19 Nah, I didn't know that.
00:39:20 It's the habit.
00:39:24 (CHUCKLES)
00:39:25 FLYNN: Hmm.
00:39:26 We go down like dominoes.
00:39:29 -Am I past the time?
00:39:32 Good morning, Father.
00:39:33 I'm sorry I was delayed.
00:39:36 -I ran into Sister Veronica.
00:39:39 I'm afraid
00:39:41 I'm beginning to think
00:39:46 Sister?
00:39:47 First, William London and now. . .
00:39:53 -Never mind. Well, come in, please.
00:40:00 Please. Sit. Have a seat.
00:40:04 I actually have a hot pot of tea.
00:40:05 And close this,
00:40:10 Father, wouId you care for a. . .
00:40:15 -Would you have a cup of tea, Father?
00:40:19 -Sister, perhaps you could serve him.
00:40:22 And yourself, of course.
00:40:23 Would you like a cup of tea,
00:40:24 No, I've already had my cup.
00:40:26 -Is there sugar?
00:40:32 Yes, yes. Somewhere here.
00:40:40 I put it in the drawer for Lent last year.
00:40:45 It mustn't have been much
00:40:47 (ALO*YSIUS CHUCKLES)
00:40:48 (FLYNN CHUCKLES)
00:40:49 ALO*YSIUS: I'm sure you're right.
00:40:52 I'll serve you, although
00:41:01 -I see your fingernails.
00:41:07 -The sugar?
00:41:09 Three.
00:41:11 -Three?
00:41:14 Two. Three.
00:41:18 -Sister, you care for sugar?
00:41:21 Not that there's
00:41:25 Well, thank you, Father,
00:41:28 We are at our wit's end.
00:41:30 I think it's an excellent idea
00:41:34 'cause last year's effort
00:41:37 Oh, I loved it, but I love all pageants.
00:41:41 O Little Town of Bethlehem, O Come,
00:41:45 ALO*YSIUS: All right.
00:41:47 So what do you think, Father?
00:41:49 (CLEARS THROAT)
00:41:51 Well, we all love the Christmas hymns,
00:41:54 but it might be jolly
00:41:58 -Secular?
00:42:00 It's Beginning To Look A Lot
00:42:03 What would be
00:42:07 Just fun.
00:42:08 -Or Frosty the Snowman.
00:42:10 We could have one of the boys
00:42:15 Which boy?
00:42:21 We'd do tryouts.
00:42:22 Frosty the Snowman
00:42:27 The snowman comes to life when
00:42:31 If the music were more somber,
00:42:33 people would realize the images
00:42:38 I never thought about
00:42:41 It should be banned from the airwaves.
00:42:43 So, not Frosty the Snowman.
00:42:45 Oh, It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like
00:42:51 Parents would like it.
00:42:55 May I ask what you're writing down
00:42:59 Oh, nothing. It's an idea for a sermon.
00:43:03 -Oh. You had one right now?
00:43:07 How fortunate.
00:43:09 I forget them,
00:43:11 Oh.
00:43:13 What is the idea?
00:43:16 Intolerance.
00:43:24 WouId you like
00:43:25 Not yet.
00:43:28 It's a new time, Sister.
00:43:31 -What's new about it?
00:43:34 There is nothing new under the sun.
00:43:40 The Church needs to change.
00:43:43 We should sing a song
00:43:46 take the kids out for ice cream.
00:43:48 Sweet tooth.
00:43:49 And maybe take the boys
00:43:52 The point being?
00:43:55 We should be friendlier.
00:43:58 You know, the children and the parents
00:44:00 should see us
00:44:02 But we are not members of their family.
00:44:07 -Why? Because of our vows?
00:44:13 I don't think we're so different.
00:44:16 You know, Sister,
00:44:17 And they think we're different, yeah?
00:44:21 The working. . .
00:44:22 The working class people of this parish
00:44:28 I think we're getting off the subject.
00:44:29 Yes, you're right. You're right.
00:44:31 (PHONE BUZZING)
00:44:38 Yes?
00:44:40 Sister Raymond? Mmm.
00:44:44 Well, you tell her to wash her face
00:44:48 Yeah.
00:44:51 Excuse me. The Christmas pageant.
00:44:55 (CLEARS THROAT)
00:44:57 how Donald Miller is used
00:44:59 -Easy there, Sister.
00:45:08 All right, what about Donald Miller?
00:45:10 We must be careful, in the pageant,
00:45:12 that we neither hide Donald Miller
00:45:20 -Because of the color of his skin?
00:45:23 -Why?
00:45:27 I think he should be treated
00:45:31 Well, you yourself singled the boy out
00:45:38 You held a private meeting with him
00:45:43 Yes.
00:45:48 -What are we talking about?
00:45:56 The boy acted strangely
00:46:01 He did?
00:46:03 When he returned from the rectory,
00:46:07 Can you tell us why?
00:46:11 How did he act strangely?
00:46:14 He. . .
00:46:16 I'm not sure how to explain it.
00:46:25 Do you mean
00:46:26 Yes.
00:46:28 And he'd come from the rectory,
00:46:30 Mmm. That's it.
00:46:32 FLYNN: Hmm.
00:46:34 ALOYSIUS: Mmm.
00:46:35 Mmm.
00:46:37 (CLEARING THROAT)
00:46:38 Did you want to discuss the pageant?
00:46:40 Or is this what you wanted to discuss?
00:46:43 This.
00:46:46 Well, I'm a little uncomfortable.
00:46:49 -ALO*YSIUS: Why?
00:46:52 The boy's well-being
00:46:54 (PHONE RINGING)
00:46:56 His well-being is not at issue.
00:46:57 ALOYSIUS: I'm not satisfied
00:47:01 He was upset
00:47:05 -Did he say something?
00:47:09 What happened in the rectory?
00:47:11 (RINGING CONTINUES)
00:47:12 Happened?
00:47:13 Mmm.
00:47:14 Nothing happened.
00:47:16 -What about?
00:47:19 He's 1 2 years old.
00:47:22 (RINGING CONTINUES)
00:47:24 -ShouId I get. . .
00:47:28 I object to your tone.
00:47:30 This is not about my tone
00:47:39 -It's about arriving at the truth.
00:47:42 You know what I'm talking about,
00:47:48 And you're controlling the expression
00:47:53 My face?
00:47:57 What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:47:58 I'm not accusing you of anything,
00:48:01 I am asking you to tell me
00:48:13 I don't wish to continue this.
00:48:17 And if you're dissatisfied with that,
00:48:18 I suggest
00:48:22 I can only imagine this unfortunate
00:48:28 Have a good morning, Sister. Sister.
00:48:36 There was alcohol on his breath
00:48:42 when he returned
00:48:49 Alcohol?
00:48:52 I did smell it on his breath.
00:49:00 Well?
00:49:06 -Let this alone.
00:49:08 (SCHOOL BELL RINGING)
00:49:12 (STUDENTS CHATTERING)
00:49:17 Take your time, Father.
00:49:22 You should've let it alone.
00:49:26 Not possible.
00:49:36 Mr. McGuinn caught Donald
00:49:41 When I found out, I sent for him.
00:49:48 and he begged not to be removed
00:49:54 I told him if no one else found out,
00:49:57 What a relief. That explains everything.
00:50:01 Look, Sister, it was all a mistake.
00:50:08 And if I talk to Mr. McGuinn?
00:50:10 Talk to him, by all means.
00:50:13 But now that the boy's secret's out,
00:50:14 I'm gonna have to remove him
00:50:16 That's what I was trying to avoid.
00:50:17 JAMES: You were trying
00:50:19 That's right.
00:50:21 I might have done the same thing.
00:50:23 Is there a way Donald could stay
00:50:26 If the boy drank altar wine,
00:50:30 Of course.
00:50:34 Are you satisfied?
00:50:36 Yes.
00:50:41 Hmm.
00:50:43 Well, I'll be going.
00:50:47 -ALOYSIUS: Intolerance.
00:50:52 I'm not pleased
00:50:55 Sister. Sister.
00:51:06 Well. . .
00:51:09 What a relief. He cleared it all up.
00:51:15 You believe him?
00:51:19 Of course.
00:51:23 Isn't it that it's easier to believe him?
00:51:26 But we can corroborate his story
00:51:28 Mmm-hmm.
00:51:30 Yes.
00:51:33 These types of people are clever.
00:51:39 -Well, I'm convinced.
00:51:43 You just want things to be resolved
00:51:48 I want no further part of this.
00:51:51 (SIGHING)
00:51:52 I'll bring him down.
00:51:55 How can you be so sure
00:52:02 Experience.
00:52:06 You just don't like him.
00:52:09 You don't like it
00:52:13 You don't like it that he takes
00:52:16 You don't like it
00:52:18 and you are letting that convince you
00:52:25 Well, I like Frosty the Snowman!
00:52:28 And I think it would be nice
00:52:30 and I think it's a good thing
00:52:33 and that I might inspire my students
00:52:35 And if you judge that to mean
00:52:38 then so be it!
00:52:43 Sit down.

00:52:54 Look at that. You blew out my light.

00:53:16 You honestly find the students
00:53:18 to be treated like inmates in a prison?
00:53:23 No.
00:53:24 Actually, they all seem fairly happy,
00:53:31 Yes. That's how it works.

00:54:01 I'm calling about your son, Donald.
00:54:07 (THUNDER RUMBLING)
00:54:18 FLUNN: A woman was gossiping with
00:54:22 I know none of you
00:54:24 (CONGREGATION CHUCKLING)
00:54:26 That night she had a dream.
00:54:29 A great hand appeared over her
00:54:35 She was immediately seized
00:54:40 The next day she went to confession.
00:54:43 She got the old parish prist,
00:54:47 She told him the whole thing.
00:54:50 "Is gossiping a sin?"
00:54:55 "Was that the hand of God Almighty
00:54:59 "Should I be
00:55:02 "TeII me,
00:55:05 (IMITATING IRISH ACCENT)
00:55:09 "Yes, you ignorant,
00:55:14 "You have borne false witness
00:55:17 "You have played fast and loose
00:55:20 "and you should be heartily ashamed!"
00:55:24 So the woman said she was sorry
00:55:30 "Not so fast," says O'Rourke.
00:55:34 "I want you to go home.
00:55:39 "cut it open with a knife,
00:55:44 So the woman went home,
00:55:48 a knife from the drawer,
00:55:50 went up the fire escape to her roof
00:55:54 Then she went back
00:55:58 "Did you gut the pillow with a knife?"
00:56:02 "Yes, Father."
00:56:07 "Feathers," she said.
00:56:13 "Feathers," he repeated.
00:56:19 "Feathers everywhere, Father."
00:56:24 "Now, I want you to go back
00:56:27 "and gather up every last feather
00:56:32 "WeII," she said, "it can't be done.
00:56:37 "I don't know where they went.
00:56:43 "And that," said Father O'Rourke,
00:56:50 In the name of the Father, the Son
00:56:58 Please rise.
00:57:23 (CROW CAWING)
00:57:32 What's that bird complaining about?
00:57:37 What kind of bird is that?
00:57:39 That a starling? A grackIe?
00:57:45 -A crow.
00:57:49 Are you praying?
00:57:51 I'm not praying. No.
00:57:55 You seem subdued.
00:57:58 Oh, I can't sleep.
00:58:02 Why not?
00:58:05 Bad dreams.
00:58:07 Yeah, I can't sleep on occasion.
00:58:11 Why? Do you see that big hand
00:58:15 Yes. Sometimes.
00:58:20 Was your sermon
00:58:24 What do you think?
00:58:38 I received a letter
00:58:43 He's very sick.
00:58:47 Then maybe you should go
00:58:49 I can't leave my class.
00:59:00 Is it true?
00:59:04 What?
00:59:07 You know what I'm asking.
00:59:11 No.
00:59:15 I saw you put an undershirt
00:59:21 -He left it in the sacristy.
00:59:26 (SIGHS)
00:59:29 I'm trying to spare him
00:59:48 It's me that cares about that child,
00:59:52 Has she ever reached out a hand?
00:59:57 That black boy needs help
01:00:01 If she has her way,
01:00:03 Why do you think he drank the wine?
01:00:09 And she sees me talk
01:00:12 and she immediately assumes that
01:00:17 Well, I'm not gonna let her
01:00:20 and I'm not gonna let her
01:00:24 I'm sure that's not her intent.
01:00:25 -That I care about this congregation.
01:00:29 Like you care about your class.
01:00:35 -Yes.
01:00:38 How else would you relate to children?
01:00:44 Now, I can look at your face
01:00:48 It's kindness.
01:00:50 I don't know. I mean, of course.
01:00:56 There are peopIe
01:01:00 that tell you that
01:01:03 Don't believe it.
01:01:05 It's an old tactic of cruel peopIe
01:01:13 There's nothing wrong with love.
01:01:18 Love?
01:01:21 Have you forgotten the message
01:01:24 It's love of people.
01:01:37 I just feel

01:01:45 There are just times in life
01:01:52 And it's a bond.
01:01:59 -Flowers.
01:02:01 To remind me of spring.
01:02:13 I should be going.
01:02:18 I'm sorry your brother's ill.
01:02:22 Thank you, Father.
01:02:30 I don't believe it.
01:02:34 You don't?

01:05:06 -What was the question, Donald?
01:05:11 It means you weren't listening.
01:05:14 Yes, Sister.
01:05:16 The question was, what was
01:05:24 I don't know.
01:05:25 "Give me liberty or give me death !"

01:05:57 Come in.
01:06:01 PIease, have a seat.
01:06:07 I was changing a bulb.
01:06:10 Thought I might had the wrong day.
01:06:13 Huh?
01:06:14 Oh, well, just between us,
01:06:19 I was listening to a transistor radio
01:06:22 Look how tiny they're making them.
01:06:25 I confiscated it
01:06:27 now I can't stop listening to it.
01:06:30 You like music?
01:06:33 No. News reports.
01:06:36 Years ago I used to listen
01:06:39 because my husband was in Italy,
01:06:42 -You were a married woman?
01:06:46 But then he was killed.
01:06:49 Is your husband coming?
01:06:51 Couldn't get off work.
01:06:53 I see. Of course. It was a lot to ask.
01:07:06 How's Donald doing?
01:07:08 He's passing his subjects.
01:07:12 Oh. Good.
01:07:15 He was upset about getting taken off
01:07:18 Mmm. Did he explain why?
01:07:20 He said he was caught
01:07:23 That is the reason.
01:07:25 Well, that seems fair.
01:07:29 But he's a good boy, Sister.
01:07:31 but he's a good boy
01:07:34 How is he at home?
01:07:38 His father beat the hell out of him
01:07:40 Oh, he shouldn't do that.
01:07:42 You don't tell my husband what to do.
01:07:46 My husband didn't want Donald
01:07:50 -Why?
01:07:52 with the other boys,
01:07:55 Good.

01:08:42 None of your business.
01:08:47 Bullshit.

01:08:57 You have 20 minutes, you say?
01:09:00 It's just that I have to walk to work.
01:09:03 -Where is work?
01:09:05 If I don't start cleaning by noon,
01:09:09 -May I walk with you?

01:10:05 You know,
01:10:08 He looks up to him. Man gives him
01:10:10 He needs that.
01:10:13 Mrs. Miller, we may have a problem.
01:10:17 I thought there must a been a reason
01:10:19 Principal's a big job.
01:10:21 I just want to say though,
01:10:25 Excuse me?
01:10:28 Whatever the probIem is,
01:10:32 Then he's off into high school.
01:10:34 Right.
01:10:36 If Donald can graduate
01:10:38 he has a better chance
01:10:41 and that would mean
01:10:45 I don't see anything at this time
01:10:47 standing in the way
01:10:51 -Well, that's all I care about.
01:10:55 Try me.
01:10:59 I am concerned about the relationship
01:11:04 You don't say. Concerned.
01:11:08 That it may not be right.
01:11:12 Well, there's something wrong
01:11:13 and their soul gotta be forgiven.
01:11:17 I am concerned, to be frank,
01:11:23 that Father Flynn may have made
01:11:31 May have made?
01:11:34 I can't be certain.
01:11:36 -No evidence?
01:11:39 Then maybe there's nothing to it.
01:11:49 I think there is something to it.
01:11:52 I think Father Flynn
01:11:55 Why would he do that?
01:11:57 (SIGHS)
01:12:00 -Has Donald been acting strangely?
01:12:03 -Nothing out of the ordinary?
01:12:06 -All right.
01:12:09 I don't. . . I'm not sure
01:12:11 I think I understand
01:12:13 but I don't want to get into it.
01:12:16 What's that?
01:12:20 Look, I only have a few minutes.
01:12:22 but if we're talking about
01:12:25 between this priest and my son,
01:12:28 -I'm not suggesting that. . .
01:12:30 -I know.
01:12:32 If someone should be taking blame,
01:12:33 -I know. I agree with you completely.
01:12:36 You're agreeing with me,
01:12:37 to the principal,
01:12:38 I am concerned about Donald's welfare.
01:12:44 You honestly think that priest
01:12:46 Yes, I do.
01:12:47 Then how come my son
01:12:50 -if it was a man that gave it to him?
01:12:52 The boy got caught, the man didn't.
01:12:57 -So you're giving my son the blame.
01:12:59 No probIem my son getting blamed,
01:13:00 -and you know why that is.
01:13:02 -I think you're getting upset.
01:13:04 no man in a robe and win.
01:13:06 -And he's got your son.
01:13:11 What?
01:13:15 It's just till June.
01:13:19 Do you know what you're saying?
01:13:22 Know more about it than you.
01:13:26 I believe this man is creating,
01:13:30 or may have already brought about,
01:13:32 an improper relationship with your son.
01:13:34 I don't know.
01:13:36 I know I am right.
01:13:38 Why you gotta know something
01:13:43 What kind of mother are you?
01:13:49 Excuse me, but you don't know enough
01:13:52 I know enough.
01:13:53 You know the rules maybe,
01:13:55 I know what I won't accept.
01:13:57 You accept what you gotta accept,
01:14:00 This man is in my school.
01:14:01 Well, he's gotta be somewhere and
01:14:02 -maybe he's doing some good, too.
01:14:04 Well, maybe some of them boys
01:14:19 That's why his father beat him.
01:14:25 Not the wine.
01:14:35 What are you telling me?
01:14:41 I'm talking about the boy's nature now,
01:14:45 not anything he's done.
01:14:49 You can't hold a child responsible
01:14:56 I'm only interested in actions,
01:14:59 But then there's the boy's nature.
01:15:01 -Leave that out of it.
01:15:06 You're the one
01:15:12 My boy came to your school
01:15:14 'cause they were gonna kill him
01:15:20 His father don't like him.
01:15:23 He come to your school,
01:15:26 One man is good to him, this priest.
01:15:30 Then does a man
01:15:34 Everbody does.
01:15:38 but do I ask the man
01:15:43 No.
01:15:48 I don't care why.
01:15:53 My son needs some man
01:15:59 and to see him through
01:16:03 And thank God this educated man
01:16:05 with some kindness in him
01:16:08 -This will not do.
01:16:11 I'll throw your son out of this schooI.
01:16:13 And why would you do that
01:16:15 Because I will stop this.
01:16:18 You'd hurt my son to get your way?
01:16:20 -It won't end with your son.
01:16:23 -I am trying to do just that.
01:16:35 Nothing.
01:16:37 (SIGHING)
01:16:40 As it turns out.
01:16:43 (CRYING) Please leave my son
01:16:54 My husband will kill that child
01:17:07 I will try.

01:17:23 Sister,
01:17:27 I don't know if you and me
01:17:31 I'll be standing with my son
01:17:35 It'd be nice to see you there.
01:18:58 May I come in?
01:19:00 A third party would be required.
01:19:02 Yeah. What was Donald's mother
01:19:06 -We were having a chat.
01:19:08 A third party
01:19:10 No, Sister. No third party!
01:19:12 Me and you are due for a talk!
01:19:15 You have to stop
01:19:17 -You can stop it at any time.
01:19:20 Confess and resign.
01:19:21 You are attempting
01:19:24 Who keeps opening my window?
01:19:29 What are you doing in this school?
01:19:31 I'm trying to do good.
01:19:33 Even more to the point,
01:19:35 what are you doing in the prieasthood?
01:19:38 You are single-handedly holding
01:19:43 -From what?
01:19:45 and a welcoming church.
01:19:46 You can't distract me, Father.
01:19:48 This is not about my behavior,
01:19:50 No, this is about
01:19:52 -That's right. I have suspicions.
01:19:55 I will decide
01:20:00 what's important.
01:20:02 Why do you suspect me?
01:20:07 You gave that boy wine,
01:20:10 That's completely untrue.
01:20:14 All McGuinn knows
01:20:16 He doesn't know
01:20:18 Did his mother
01:20:21 No.
01:20:23 -So that's it.
01:20:26 Ask the boy then.
01:20:29 -He'd protect you.
01:20:32 -Because you have seduced him.
01:20:36 You've got it in your head
01:20:38 after giving him wine,
01:20:41 That's right.
01:20:43 But this has nothing to do
01:20:44 Not really. You've had a fundamental
01:20:48 It was you that warned Sister James
01:20:52 That's true.
01:20:53 -So you admit it!
01:20:57 Why?
01:21:00 I know people.
01:21:03 That's not good enough.
01:21:05 -It won't have to be.
01:21:08 You will tell me what you have done.
01:21:12 Oh, I will.
01:21:16 Out again.
01:21:19 Sister James is convinced I'm innocent.
01:21:22 So you talked to Sister James.
01:21:25 Well, of course
01:21:28 Did you know
01:21:30 Yes.
01:21:31 And might that not account
01:21:34 Sister James noticed in the boy?
01:21:37 It might.
01:21:39 Then what is it? What?
01:21:42 (STAMMERING) What did you hear?
01:21:44 What did you see
01:21:49 What does it matter?
01:21:52 It matters! What does it matter?
01:22:08 Out this window,
01:22:10 I saw you grab William London's wrist,
01:22:15 and I saw him pull away.
01:22:34 -Are you serious?
01:22:38 That's all?
01:22:40 Yeah. That was all.
01:22:47 That's nothing.
01:22:51 -What are you doing now?
01:22:54 It might be important when I have

01:23:08 I took the precaution
01:23:12 What did he say?
01:23:14 -Who?
01:23:18 I did not speak to the pastor.
01:23:23 You should have spoken to the pastor.
01:23:27 I spoke to a nun.
01:23:28 You know that's not the proper route
01:23:30 The church is very clear. You're
01:23:33 Why? You have an understanding,
01:23:36 No, you have no right to go rummaging
01:23:40 You have a history.
01:23:41 This is your third parish in five years.
01:23:44 -Why?
01:23:46 Ask him why I left.
01:23:49 -I'm not calling the pastor.
01:23:52 Go after another child and
01:23:55 -What nun did you speak to?
01:23:57 -Yeah, I've not touched a child.
01:24:01 You haven't the slightest proof
01:24:03 But I have my certainty.
01:24:05 And armed with that,
01:24:07 and the one before that.
01:24:10 Trust me, Father Flynn, I will.
01:24:14 You have no right to act on your own !
01:24:18 You have taken vows,
01:24:22 You answer to us!
01:24:24 You have no right
01:24:27 I will step outside the church
01:24:31 though the door should shut
01:24:33 I will do what needs to be done,
01:24:38 You should understand that,
01:24:45 Now, did you give Donald Miller
01:24:50 Have you never done anything wrong?
01:24:53 -I have.
01:25:05 Yes.
01:25:08 And?
01:25:12 I confessed it, Father.
01:25:18 Then whatever I have done,
01:25:21 I have left in the healing hands
01:25:26 As have you.
01:25:29 We are the same.
01:25:35 Mmm-mmm.
01:25:38 No, we are not. We are not the same.
01:25:51 A dog that bites is a dog that bites.
01:25:57 Did you give Donald Miller
01:26:01 No.
01:26:03 Mental reservations?
01:26:06 No.
01:26:11 You lie.
01:26:16 Very well then.

01:27:53 I've done nothing wrong.
01:27:58 Why?
01:28:02 'Cause you smile at him?
