Divine: The Series (2011) s01e06 Episode Script

Lips of Men

I miss him so, Father.
Sometimes times I feel like he's with me still.
It is we who are left behind who have it the hardest.
We who feel the pain of loss.
It's those you have past, who have left these woes behind.
And gone unto the grace of the Lord.
Sometimes he seems to be angry and I'm afraid.
The Deacon will be back soon.
He will help guide you in prayer.
He's better at this than I am.
Oh, Father.
I'm acting like a silly girl.
And here I make you feel inadequate.
No need to bother the Deacon.
I'm fine, thanks to you.
The people of the neighbourhood to have you, father, as another shepherd to our flock.
After what happened to father Christopher, I thought the mission was doomed.
Who? God bless you and keep you, Father.
Yes, Mary, and the peace of the Lord be with you.
it has been one week, five days, twelve hours and twenty seven minutes since my last confession.
What is the nature of your sins? Mortal.
Murder? I have committed seven acts of murder since my last confession.
Three were of the dark three were those who had turned from the path and therefore no longer men.
One, one was a simple sinner whom I allowed to meet the final judgement when my actions could have saved his life.
I don't understand, you think what you do is murder? They were evil.
Does he love them any less? They were bad.
Was I any less in killing them? But, you're special.
As are you.
As were they; before I murdered them.
I don't understand.
There's nothing written for you.
no scripture for this.
.
I um what can I possibly do for one such as you? Hear my confession.
I am just a man.
Galatians 3:28.
I shouldn't be here.
I should get the Deacon.
Ah I'm sorry, I'm I'm not worthy.
Nor am I.
Will you hear my confession? I have committed seven acts of murder.
I'm sorry.
Lord, with your bright and open heart, forgive me for showing darkness the light.
Putting my back to what was right, was wrong, and I have sinned against you.
I pray that you accept my penance for I am truly penitent for the acts that I have done.
Amen.
Why would God bless you so if it were to be sinful? It is not a blessing.
The Deacon told me what you do every night, of every day.
These acts, protecting the weak from the evil, they are just.
Surely God sees it so.
He wouldn't make you something that is evil by design.
I take not the word of God, from the lips of men.
I need forgiveness, Father.
How long has it been since your last confession? Four days.
.
I'm afraid, father.
I don't think I can do this anymore.
It's getting hard to know maybe I What is the nature of your sins? You understand, it's different.
I'm not even sure I could have stopped it.
What is the nature of your sins, Deacon? I I don't know.
-Yes you do, you know what you did.
-No Your sins, Deacon, confess, your sins.
-Father, forgive me.
-There is no forgiveness for what you've done! Damn you to eternal hell! Damn you!!
