Saving Grace s01e13 Episode Script
Taco, Tulips, Duck and Spices
Joe and Jimmy are flying in tomorrow.
- Mmm.
- Abby's here and the kid's driving in.
- Want me to make some dip? - Mmm! - I was wondering why you were in such a good mood.
- [ Laughs .]
- When's the last time y'all were all together? - I guess when Daddy died.
Now we just gotta ditch Paige and Johnny.
What are you getting your mom? - Whatever Paige tells us we're gonna get.
- Heh.
- Hand me the salt.
- Salt, salt, salt.
''Grace, can only imagine you and the girls under these Tanzanian stars.
- Love, Blake.
'' - [ Snorts .]
He's on safari in Africa looking up at the stars, and all he can think about are your breasts? Blake the widower.
He has three daughters.
- Hello, ''girls''? - Oh! [ Laughs .]
Oh, he really likes you.
- Have you met them yet? - God, no.
M-Move, Gus.
We went out twice, and he's writing me postcards? - The guy's scaring me.
- Hey.
And then Ham told you he loved you.
I'm surprised you're not sedated.
- What are you gonna do about Ham? - [ Mumbling .]
[ Man On TV.]
New taco in town.
Earl's Tacos are made - [ Rhetta .]
Oh, lookI Earl's Tacos from Leon Cooley's dreamI I've never seen a commercial for them.
Have you? - That was a good taco.
- The one Earl gave you is still fresh, which is impossible.
- So don't tell me he didn't give it to you for a reason.
- Shit.
I'm out of ketchup.
The very first thing that Earl left behind was the blood that led you to Leon Cooley.
He did that so you'd know you hadn't lost your mind.
- Start the cheese dip.
- Mmm.
And dust from the Grand Canyon, so you'd know it wasn't a dream.
Then his saliva, which proved he was another species.
And a slob.
- Don't you see, Grace? It all has a purpose.
- I don't know.
The tulip he gave you, which you destroyed.
- [ Quacking .]
- Oh, my gosh! Taco, tulip, duck and spices! Those are all the things that Earl left behind! - You're starting to scare me.
- [ Gasps .]
Hello! Ho! And a purple door! [ Chuckles .]
Open your eyes, Grace.
A shamrock? So God stopped up my toilet? The school calendar that Mae sold you- Where is it? Where is it? The last time you used it was April? Oh, you're not gonna believe this.
I don't believe this.
What month are we in? Ta-da.
- Tell me these aren't signs! - Come on, Rhetta.
You could see anything anywhere if you want to.
We've got to figure out why he left you what he left you! - Oh, my God.
- What? What? Wings.
- [ Laughs .]
- Very funny.
[ Acoustic Guitar.]
[ Man .]
So pretty and, oh, so bold Got a heart full of gold on a lonely road - She said, ''I don't even think that God can save me'' - Save me Am I gaining ground Am I losing face Have I lost and found my saving grace Thankful for the gift my angels gave me [ Door Closing .]
[ Panting .]
Hey! [ Sniffling .]
[ Sighs .]
Bad dream? [ Sighs .]
That mutant dog with the long tongue.
- Oh, my back buddy.
- Stand up.
Turn around.
Lift up your shirt.
Lift up your shirt some more.
Still ain't sure what happened.
I thought I was getting a salsa lady.
Got you a present.
[ Sniffling .]
From Malibu.
What's with the dog? Well, it's one of God's favorite animals.
He's particularly fond of poodles.
What do you want, Earl? I just want you to heal, Grace.
- [ Cell Phone Rings .]
- So you my therapist now? That might not be a bad idea.
I mean, sometimes you gotta move backward before you can go forward.
- [ Beeps .]
- Hey, Leo.
Why? - [ Rumbling .]
- I'm picking Joe and Jimmy up at the airport.
-Johnny's with some family lost a baby.
- Shit.
I want you to tell me what you think this is.
Rape kit, murder kit, kidnapping kit.
It's an ''I'm gonna do something bad'' kit.
- Where's the driver? - Don't know.
- Who called it in? - Passing motorist.
When we got here, the fire was going pretty good.
No bodies.
Knocked it down in seven minutes.
When's the last time you talked to Paige? Why? What do you think? Maybe a P.
I.
took 'em.
Maybe she's having an affair.
- Hope so.
- You hope she's having an affair? You hope she's being stalked? Shit, man.
Now I gotta go ask Paige about her life.
- What's a rape kit? - Paige, look.
This isn't good.
Someone's taking pictures of you.
Stalking you.
Who's the guy you're with? - Lenny.
- Lenny what? - I don't know.
- Where are you? Highland Perks.
I go after yoga before I pick up the kids.
- You having an affair? - No.
If you are, you need to tell me.
Otherwise, I'm investigating this.
I'm gonna have to ask Buck.
Go ahead.
- Am I safe? - Paige, come on.
No! You need to be careful.
Watch everything around you.
- You're scaring me.
- Good.
- And you're enjoying it.
- You always talk to guys you don't know? -You sleep with guys you don't know.
What's the problem? -You don't have a gun.
- Are you saying I should stay at home? - You gotta live your life.
Just be aware.
Anyone weird you notice? - No.
- Anyone bugging you? - Strange cars in the neighborhood? - No.
- You sure? - Yes.
I've decided what we're gonna get Mom for her birthday.
She wants a picture of all six of us.
Wear all white.
Unless you think we should wear gray.
What? We are not wearing black.
Five more minutes, okay? Tell me about Lenny.
Car's registered to Hoyt Garvey, 7 6.
No record.
I'll take a drive.
See if he's home.
I'll run the people she works with, go back to the bookstore.
You gonna talk to her husband? They have kids? How old? Fourteen, 1 2, 1 0, six.
The six-year-old's the only one we gotta worry about.
- [ Shout Greetings .]
- Oh, shit.
Come here, bug face.
- Hi, girl.
- Ohh, you.
- Oh, yeah.
- Ain't that nice? - Light as a feather.
- Okay, all hugged up? - Have you heard anything yet? - Did you talk to Paige? - I need to call the mayor? - Is she in any danger? - Guys, we're looking into it.
-Joe Hanadarko.
- Hey, man.
- You taking good care of my little sister? - Which one of you's Ham? - Ham Dewey, man.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey, what's up? - Where's Paige now? - I followed her to work.
She's fine.
- Yeah.
- You know, if you guys want to do something, take turns.
- Stay with her.
-Just give us the guy's address.
We'll take care of him.
Are you worried about this? This is serious, isn't it, Grace? Guys, the three of us are gonna look into it.
We got it, okay? - [Johnny .]
Are you sure? - You know she used to eat bugs? - Hey, Grace- -[Johnny .]
What did Paige say? - Roly-polies,junebugs, crickets.
- Okay, time to go.
Go! Hey.
Hey, guys, Mom doesn't need to know about this.
She just gonna worry, okay? Yeah, that's a good idea.
Everyone hear that? We don't tell Mom.
Yeah, okay.
We don't tell Mom.
Call me later.
See ya, hon.
- You sure you can handle this? - Ow.
Yes, yes, let go! Can you believe this shit about wearing white for the picture? [ Laughs .]
- Bug face, man? - [ Laughs .]
Do you know how many bug jokes I'm gonna have to deal with now? Yeah, you used to eat crickets, Grace, and put roly-polies on your pizza.
On your pizza.
Just once.
Three times.
That's it.
- No, you didn't.
- [ Laughs Quietly .]
[ Sighs .]
I gotta go talk to Mr.
Perfect Teeth.
- Let me know if you find anything in the car.
- Wait.
I want to show you something I'm working on.
Take 1 0 seconds.
Go with me here.
Shit, Rhetta.
I'm telling you.
It all means something.
- What if- - What? - Nothing.
- What? - Do you see something? - Well, look.
I mean, it's all right there.
- What? - Earl's a litterbug.
- [ Laughs .]
- [ Table Rattles .]
- [ Mutters .]
- He gave me a T-shirt this morning.
- He got it in Malibu.
Had a big ''M'' on it.
- ''M.
'' - ''M.
'' - Shut up.
This is after you had the dream about the dog with the long tongue.
He suggested therapy.
He said, ''Sometimes you gotta go backwards to go forward.
'' And what is dog spelled backwards? Well, I don't have time for this shit.
Are you telling me she's in danger? I got patrol driving past your house and her work twice an hour.
Know this guy? - No.
- You know a guy named Hoyt Garvey? No.
- Any reason you'd have somebody tailing your wife? - No.
Paige said he's an acquaintance.
You think she's having an affair, and I had her followed? - Happens all the time.
-Jesus.
Grace, we're talking about Paige.
- I know.
- She's not having an affair.
- Where were these taken? - Highland Perk Coffee House.
- [ Sighs .]
- What? What do I do? I mean, should I hire security? Tell me about your finances.
You owe anybody money? Hey, man.
I saved you something.
[ Laughs .]
- Thanks.
- Oh, no, no, no, no.
Are you insane? Protein, man.
Okay, I'm used to civilians don't want to talk to cops.
I get that.
But my own family's giving me the spin around.
[ Sucks Teeth .]
Antenna.
- [ Sucks Teeth .]
- Well, did you get anything out of him? Yeah.
My brother-in-law's full of shit.
Where are you at? We got no sign of Lenny.
But a couple customers recognize his picture.
Said he's been in here a few times.
Same with Hoyt Garvey.
One lady remembers him.
Said he stood right over there, had a camera.
- Take the pictures? - No.
She didn't see that.
She just thought he was a cute old man.
- Anybody talk to him or Lenny? - No.
No.
No.
I asked about Paige too.
Nobody remembers her.
Neither does the owner.
[ Indistinct .]
- Shit! - What? Paige told me she comes in here five times a week.
You gotta talk to her.
She might open up to you.
Come on.
Do me this solid.
- You gonna owe me.
- I give good payback.
Yeah.
Hey, Grace.
- I'm gonna wait for you.
- Here? I'm gonna wait for you to tell me you love me.
Here? - Hey, where are you going? - I'm desperate, man.
If Paige was gonna talk to anybody about her problems, it would be you.
Not as her priest, as her brother.
So don't give me any confessional bullshit.
- This your way of asking for help? - Mmm.
[ Inhales .]
She's not gonna tellJoe,Jimmy or Leo.
Sure as hell ain't gonna tell me.
She's gonna tell you.
Ever wonder why that is, Grace? Why she doesn't feel comfortable coming to you? - What about Buck? - I am not gonna talk to you about Buck.
Johnny.
Listen to me.
I need help.
If I have don't have to go after the guy sleeping with Paige or some loan shark coming after Buck over a gambling problem nobody knows about it's gonna save a whole lot of time- May even save her life.
So it takes a criminal investigation for you to care about your sister? That is such bullshit! You know, Mary Frances always hoped that the two of you would get closer.
Yeah, 'cause she wanted Paige and me to share a bedroom.
So that's it? That's all I get? Our dead sister? Nothing about Paige? Paige signed a bogus petition Lenny had for an organization called Parents of American Veterans.
- V.
A.
said there's no such thing.
- What'd she give him? Name, address, social security number.
- I already called her.
Told her to freeze their bank accounts.
- This puts a new light on things.
Maybe the person who's the target of the pictures is Lenny and not Paige.
Somebody he scammed is pissed, watching, waiting for the right moment? I mean, could be.
[ Chirps .]
[ Revs Engine, Tires Screech .]
What else you lying about, Buck? Not only does Paige know but she's been spying on the other woman in her own bookstore.
- Whoa.
- It's gotta be killing Paige.
You gonna tell her you know? She had the chance to tell me, didn't take it.
- She doesn't need to know I know.
- Gotta hand it to her.
Pretty ballsy stuff spying on the mistress.
Wonder if any wives ever spied on you.
Ouch.
- [ Children Squealing .]
- Hey! How many times do I have to tell you two? Go to bed! Oh, shit.
I'm wasted, you know? Dealing with family's 1 0 times harder than dealing with a serial killer.
Earl talks about healing.
Your family has shit.
Every family has shit, but you just checked out, Grace.
And it's not fair.
They don't understand.
[ Tapping .]
[ Grace.]
If this crap makes any sense at all I've been avoiding the memory of something Irish.
- It starts with an ''M.
'' - The Murrah Building and Father Patrick ''Satan'' Murphy.
Don't know about taco, tulips, spices.
Sometimes a taco is just a taco.
Say I did start therapy, which I won't well, Father Patrick ''Satan'' Murphy and the bombing of the Murrah Building might come up.
- Earl said he wants you to heal.
- Holy Redeemer.
Redeem, to atone- That's what he wants.
- That's not what he said.
- Earl the puppeteer.
Why all the mystery? He shows up, leaves shit, gives me stupid-ass answers to any question I ask.
[ Rhetta .]
Maybe he wants you to put out a little effort.
- He, as in God.
- So it's God doing this.
- He's the Holy Redeemer.
- I thought he was the dog with the long tongue.
Earl said God has big plans for you.
He also said God uses palm trees as toothpicks.
That's the good thing about the dry erase boards.
You can just write everything all over again.
Gotta have something to write.
Think I'll just keep Earl's trash to myself from now on.
Grace, I talked to the guys in white collar.
They never heard of P.
A.
V.
But they had a scam last year.
F.
A.
V.
, Families of American Veterans.
Check that.
Looks a lot like Lenny.
Damn straight.
That his real name? They never found him.
Says he's smart, targets anyone who looks vulnerable.
F.
A.
V.
wiped out six people over two million dollars.
- Is everything okay? - Fine.
Fine.
- Hey, you got that map from the car, Rhetta? - Over there.
All right.
Hey, check this out.
Okay? All were elderly victims.
All lived in Marshall Hills.
All signed the F.
A.
V.
petition either at the grocery store, retirement home, driving range.
And Hoyt Garvey had golf tees in his trunk.
Damn straight.
He was one of the victims.
He and his wife lost everything.
So Garvey was taking pictures of Lenny, not Paige? Paige is safe? Not till we find these guys.
[ Knocking .]
- Yeah? - We're looking for Hoyt Garvey.
- Yeah? - You know where he is? - No.
- Where's his car? Probably driving it.
Why you looking for my grandpa? - How about your grandma? She home? - Nah.
- Where is she? - Dead, last year.
Why? -When was the last time you saw your grandfather? -About a week.
- [ Ham .]
Why is that? - Been in Taos.
Got back, like, six hours ago.
- Was his car here when you got back? - I don't know.
It was dark.
- Mind if we come in? - Yeah! - [ Slams .]
- [ Rhetta .]
Sorry.
It's not often dead people come back to life in my world.
Mine either.
People really believed he was dead.
- He had tongue cancer.
- No.
He never had tongue cancer.
Yes, he did! We were 1 2 years old, 6th grade.
Father Murphy was transferred to a parish in Vermont, and he died of tongue cancer.
No, that was just a rumor.
He fell down.
He bit his tongue.
And a few weeks later he was transferred to Vermont.
Where is he now? Uh, he's retired.
He's in Tulsa.
Why? Why was he sent to Vermont? - I don't know.
- Yes, you do.
You work for the church checking out pedophile priests.
And Murphy is a pedophile, and you know it.
What are you talking about? Rhetta, his name has never come across my desk.
Where did you hear this? You don't believe me, check him out.
- Where the hell are we going? - [ Cell Phone Rings .]
- [ Sighs .]
- [ Ringing Continues .]
- Hey, Paige.
- [ Shouting, Indistinct .]
- What? - My house is ruined.
Everything- Slow down.
Paige? I-I can't understand you.
Calm down.
Tell me what happened.
- [ Paige Indistinct .]
- Yes, I'm here.
Fine.
- My house is ruined- - Yes.
Good-bye.
- What happened? - Water heater flooded her whole house so I have to have the party.
- Tell me where we're going! -Just shut up.
Let me drive.
You'll know soon enough.
[ Sighs .]
I need you to back up, Grace.
- What? - Back away from me.
- Why? -Just back away from me! What? Father Patrick ''Satan'' Murphy is alive, Grace.
He's in Tulsa at a retirement home for priests called Holy Redeemer.
There was no death certificate issued.
I tracked him to Vermont.
They said he went to Boston.
Boston said he went to Pittsburgh.
Then Rhode Island and Maine.
He retired three years ago in Tulsa.
- They told us he was dead.
- I know.
Let's go.
No.
No, Grace.
That's why we're here.
You need time.
Scream.
Yell.
Do whatever you need to do.
- I need to leave.
- I won't take you.
What do you mean you won't take me? Get in the car.
Now.
We're not going anywhere until you've had time to process this.
Rhetta, don't do this shit, man.
- Get in the car.
- No.
- Give me the keys.
- No.
- Damn it.
- [ Sighs .]
- [ Clanks .]
- What? Did you hide it inside? [ Rustling .]
[ Thumping .]
[ Screaming .]
God damn it! - I'm so sorry.
- [ Sighs .]
You know, Grace, the only time we ever really talked about this we were 1 6 and drunk.
You didn't really tell me much that night either.
First time, it was raining.
He kept me after school.
He sent me out to the car to get- I don't know, something.
I got sopping wet.
So he took me over to the rectory.
Had me take off all my clothes.
Stood me in front of the mirror.
He told me how perfect I was.
How God made me special.
So pretty.
I was God's special gift just for him.
And he gave me one of his shirts to put on.
And we had hot chocolate.
[ Sniffs .]
How old were you? Nine.
[ Exhales .]
- He ever try anything with you? - No.
That's because your-your parents never invited him to Sunday supper.
Perfect grooming ground for pedophiles.
He'd take all seven of us out for ice cream to Frontier City, the movies.
But he'd sit next to me.
He'd put his hand between my legs.
It felt good.
Bad-good.
But good.
And he said God made me all tingly because- So I'd- I'd know it was okay.
But it didn't feel okay.
Bastard.
[ Sniffs .]
My 1 1 th birthday, after mass he told me he had a present for me.
We sat in the pews beside the altar and he gave me some rosary beads blessed by the pope.
Then he raped me.
- It went on about a year.
- It stopped when he left? It stopped when I got my period.
I didn't know what was going on.
Mom gave me a box of pads and a book to read.
And Father Murphy stopped giving me presents.
Started giving 'em to Paige.
- Oh, Grace.
- So I went to see him.
Said I missed him.
Asked him for a kiss.
I can still see his scratchy tongue coming out at me.
When he stuck his tongue down my throat, I bit down as hard as I could.
I almost bit it off.
He- He's spitting blood when he screamed at me that I was going to hell.
That God would punish me.
And I screamed right back.
Told him to stay away from Paige or I'd tell the nuns what he did.
A week later, he was gone.
[ Sniffs .]
And then the tongue cancer rumor started.
[ Both Chuckle .]
Only time in my life I thought God was just.
Now that he's alive, you want to kill him, don't you? I want to know how many kids he's hurt.
And when you do? - [ Whispers .]
He's going to prison.
- [ Cell Phones Ring .]
- Yeah? - Yeah? - [ Sniffs .]
- We're on our way.
[ Sniffs .]
[ Both Sniffing .]
- [ Ham .]
Found Lenny.
- [ Bobby .]
He's been dead about 30 hours.
Right around the time of the car fire.
- Shit.
A bullet to the head.
- Through and through.
- Rhetta, shooter left you a present.
- Nice.
- How'd you find him? - Shop owner recognized Lenny's picture.
Sent me here.
[ Rhetta .]
Grace, look at this.
Paige Cushing.
He was killed before he could move any money.
His real name is Mitch Tupper.
He, uh, got busted in Fort Worth for running a lottery scam.
- Did two years.
- Comes up to the Big Friendly, rips off the wrong guy.
- [ Chuckles .]
- What did you get on the grandson? His name is, uh, Kip Garvey.
He has a bust for weed, two assaults, one burglary.
Maybe Kip was upset losing out on his inheritance.
Wanted some of it back.
- How much was it? - Almost $400,000.
- Maybe Kip was driving the car.
- Reason Grandpa may not be home.
Kip kill him too? - Civilians aren't allowed down here.
- I need to talk to you.
- Let's go out.
- Was Grace molested by Father Murphy? I never said that,Johnny.
Is the bullet a match? Um, I don't know yet.
ButJohnny knows.
-Johnny knows what? -Johnny knows about you and Father Murphy.
I had to make sure he was alive, and Johnny works for the archdiocese.
- You told him, Rhetta? - [ Crying .]
No.
But he knows.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, Grace.
I think he's on his way to Tulsa.
[ Snipping .]
John! [ Gasps .]
-Johnny's got a nice right hook.
- You happy? I'm here.
This what you wanted all along? I knew this day was comin'.
Didn't know it'd be today.
All the crap you left me, like bread crumbs.
And I followed them just like you planned.
- I didn't plan any of this.
- Bullshit.
The tulip, Leon Cooley's tattoo, stupid duck.
Well, I just whittled the duck.
Don't know why.
I've always been a sucker for mysteries.
So what's the point? - I don't know.
- Bullshit.
I can't interfere, Grace.
Can't unlock your handcuffs, stop tornadoes control pedophiles.
I'm just FedEx delivering the message.
[ Tires Screech .]
Hoyt Garvey, O.
C.
P.
D.
- We need to ask you a few questions.
- He doesn't know anything.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Come on.
We're going inside.
[ Bobby .]
You're a hard man to find.
Where you been? - You don't have to answer that.
- What are we gonna do, Kip? - Go on the lam? - Stop talking.
[ Bobby .]
Do you know Mitch Tupper? Also goes by the name of Lenny? - I killed him.
- Shit, Grandpa! - Why? - He killed my wife.
Your wife was murdered? Julia signed his petition and two days later, all our money was gone.
She never forgave herself.
We had all these plans,you know? I would've been happy sitting on the front porch.
She died, heart attack because of what he did to us.
That was a year ago.
The cops couldn't find him.
How'd you find him? Grandpa, you need to shut up.
I did a bad thing, Kip.
Gotta own up to it.
I saw him last week at the bookstore.
- Started following him.
- What made you make your move? I was just gonna scare him, turn him over to you guys, you know? And then I saw that pretty lady sign his petition.
And I just didn't want him to hurt anybody else.
- You follow him home? - Yep.
Shot him.
Karma, I guess- My car overheated on the way home.
Sir, you need to listen to me.
You didn't follow him home.
[ Bobby .]
Do you understand, Mr.
Garvey? - Grandpa, listen to them.
- He got away.
You knew where he lived because you'd been following him.
So you went there to turn him in to us and lost control.
Spur of the moment, shot him.
You follow him home? No.
He got away.
You need to get your grandfather an attorney.
Turn around, sir.
Put your hands out.
- [Joe.]
No, I know that.
- Oh! [ Cheering, Applause .]
I told you she'd come back! - I told you.
- You said a quarter, right? - Five bucks.
Pay up, UncleJimmy.
- There you go.
- UncleJoe? - Don't get used to it.
- Uncle Leo? - Yeah, yeah.
Honey, this is the best present I could get.
Hug.
Hug.
- Happy birthday, Mom.
- Thanks.
Assholes.
You bet I wouldn't bring back your fancy-ass beer? - Oh, thank you, ma'am.
- Better than I expected.
Get over here a second.
- So, no affair? - Paige wasn't having an affair.
She was being scammed.
Good.
World can tilt back on its axis now.
Paige is still perfect.
- Leo, use a coaster, please.
- [ Groans .]
- What were you saying about me? - The party's perfect.
Mom's happy you're doing this.
- We found the- the guy taking the pictures.
- I know.
Ham was considerate enough to call me to tell me I had my life back.
Kids, no.
No, no.
No running.
I wanted to tell you in person.
But I should've called.
Try the dip.
It's good.
[ Chattering .]
[ Child .]
Oh, it's so much fun.
To win- [ Rock .]
[ Chattering Continues .]
Don't say anything.
- I didn't know, Grace.
- The church knew.
The photographer will be here any second.
So last minute touch-ups.
Honey, put on some lipstick, okay? Mom, you remember Father Patrick Murphy? Oh, sure I do.
He died of tongue cancer in Vermont when you were just a little girl.
Lipstick, okay? - You know, she would kill him.
- I don't want her to know.
You don't have to do this alone anymore.
I don't want anyone to know.
[ Sighs .]
I'm so sorry.
I know you're a good priest.
[ Sighs .]
How's that family who lost the baby? We bury him tomorrow.
Ready? [ Rattling .]
[ Panting .]
Are you God? Figures.
God.
God.
The powerful.
The almighty God.
You want me to talk to you? Turn to you? Believe in you? Why? Why the hell would I trust you, should anyone trust you? That baby dies.
Murphy ends up in a beautiful house with a goddamn rose garden.
He lives in a neighborhood with- with families, with children.
Little girls.
And he gardens.
He watches them, and his dick still gets hard! And you give him that! You give him roses! Why would I turn to you? I hate you! I hate you! Earl! Where's all the angel help? - [ Gun Scrapes .]
- I'm gonna kill him, Earl.
I'm gonna put my gun right on his scarred tongue and blow his head off 'cause I don't give a shit about you.
Or you either! [ Panting .]
- [ Cocks .]
- Go! - [ Panting .]
- I'll blow your tongue off.
[ Engine Roars .]
[ Barking .]
[ Scratching At Lock .]
[ Squeaks .]
[ Snoring Lightly .]
[ Grunts, Gasps .]
A little girl says you touched her inappropriately in class.
- You know anything about that, Father? - What are you? - Answer me.
- I'm not in the classroom anymore.
Why the hell aren't you in a prison cell? How many girls you raped? Ten? Twenty? Hundreds? I'm retired.
I spend my life in prayer.
You go to the store? Movies? On walks? You go for walks, Father? - [ Whimpers .]
- There's a girls' school a couple of blocks away.
Here you go.
Sweet old priest out for a stroll.
Coppin' looks at all the little girls.
- How's your tongue? - Do-Do I know you? - I'm Grace Hanadarko.
- [ Gasps .]
Get out of bed.
Kneel down.
- Forgive me.
- Shut up.
- Please.
- Open your mouth.
That's what you used to say to me.
[ Sobs .]
I pray for you every day.
I don't want you thinking about me.
I deserve eternal damnation for what I did.
You don't.
Don't do this.
Don't put the mark of murder on your soul.
I'm [ Slowly .]
just FedEx trying to deliver a message.
[ Exhales Shakily .]
You know a guy named Earl? An angel named Earl? [ Sighs Shakily .]
- Mmm.
- Abby's here and the kid's driving in.
- Want me to make some dip? - Mmm! - I was wondering why you were in such a good mood.
- [ Laughs .]
- When's the last time y'all were all together? - I guess when Daddy died.
Now we just gotta ditch Paige and Johnny.
What are you getting your mom? - Whatever Paige tells us we're gonna get.
- Heh.
- Hand me the salt.
- Salt, salt, salt.
''Grace, can only imagine you and the girls under these Tanzanian stars.
- Love, Blake.
'' - [ Snorts .]
He's on safari in Africa looking up at the stars, and all he can think about are your breasts? Blake the widower.
He has three daughters.
- Hello, ''girls''? - Oh! [ Laughs .]
Oh, he really likes you.
- Have you met them yet? - God, no.
M-Move, Gus.
We went out twice, and he's writing me postcards? - The guy's scaring me.
- Hey.
And then Ham told you he loved you.
I'm surprised you're not sedated.
- What are you gonna do about Ham? - [ Mumbling .]
[ Man On TV.]
New taco in town.
Earl's Tacos are made - [ Rhetta .]
Oh, lookI Earl's Tacos from Leon Cooley's dreamI I've never seen a commercial for them.
Have you? - That was a good taco.
- The one Earl gave you is still fresh, which is impossible.
- So don't tell me he didn't give it to you for a reason.
- Shit.
I'm out of ketchup.
The very first thing that Earl left behind was the blood that led you to Leon Cooley.
He did that so you'd know you hadn't lost your mind.
- Start the cheese dip.
- Mmm.
And dust from the Grand Canyon, so you'd know it wasn't a dream.
Then his saliva, which proved he was another species.
And a slob.
- Don't you see, Grace? It all has a purpose.
- I don't know.
The tulip he gave you, which you destroyed.
- [ Quacking .]
- Oh, my gosh! Taco, tulip, duck and spices! Those are all the things that Earl left behind! - You're starting to scare me.
- [ Gasps .]
Hello! Ho! And a purple door! [ Chuckles .]
Open your eyes, Grace.
A shamrock? So God stopped up my toilet? The school calendar that Mae sold you- Where is it? Where is it? The last time you used it was April? Oh, you're not gonna believe this.
I don't believe this.
What month are we in? Ta-da.
- Tell me these aren't signs! - Come on, Rhetta.
You could see anything anywhere if you want to.
We've got to figure out why he left you what he left you! - Oh, my God.
- What? What? Wings.
- [ Laughs .]
- Very funny.
[ Acoustic Guitar.]
[ Man .]
So pretty and, oh, so bold Got a heart full of gold on a lonely road - She said, ''I don't even think that God can save me'' - Save me Am I gaining ground Am I losing face Have I lost and found my saving grace Thankful for the gift my angels gave me [ Door Closing .]
[ Panting .]
Hey! [ Sniffling .]
[ Sighs .]
Bad dream? [ Sighs .]
That mutant dog with the long tongue.
- Oh, my back buddy.
- Stand up.
Turn around.
Lift up your shirt.
Lift up your shirt some more.
Still ain't sure what happened.
I thought I was getting a salsa lady.
Got you a present.
[ Sniffling .]
From Malibu.
What's with the dog? Well, it's one of God's favorite animals.
He's particularly fond of poodles.
What do you want, Earl? I just want you to heal, Grace.
- [ Cell Phone Rings .]
- So you my therapist now? That might not be a bad idea.
I mean, sometimes you gotta move backward before you can go forward.
- [ Beeps .]
- Hey, Leo.
Why? - [ Rumbling .]
- I'm picking Joe and Jimmy up at the airport.
-Johnny's with some family lost a baby.
- Shit.
I want you to tell me what you think this is.
Rape kit, murder kit, kidnapping kit.
It's an ''I'm gonna do something bad'' kit.
- Where's the driver? - Don't know.
- Who called it in? - Passing motorist.
When we got here, the fire was going pretty good.
No bodies.
Knocked it down in seven minutes.
When's the last time you talked to Paige? Why? What do you think? Maybe a P.
I.
took 'em.
Maybe she's having an affair.
- Hope so.
- You hope she's having an affair? You hope she's being stalked? Shit, man.
Now I gotta go ask Paige about her life.
- What's a rape kit? - Paige, look.
This isn't good.
Someone's taking pictures of you.
Stalking you.
Who's the guy you're with? - Lenny.
- Lenny what? - I don't know.
- Where are you? Highland Perks.
I go after yoga before I pick up the kids.
- You having an affair? - No.
If you are, you need to tell me.
Otherwise, I'm investigating this.
I'm gonna have to ask Buck.
Go ahead.
- Am I safe? - Paige, come on.
No! You need to be careful.
Watch everything around you.
- You're scaring me.
- Good.
- And you're enjoying it.
- You always talk to guys you don't know? -You sleep with guys you don't know.
What's the problem? -You don't have a gun.
- Are you saying I should stay at home? - You gotta live your life.
Just be aware.
Anyone weird you notice? - No.
- Anyone bugging you? - Strange cars in the neighborhood? - No.
- You sure? - Yes.
I've decided what we're gonna get Mom for her birthday.
She wants a picture of all six of us.
Wear all white.
Unless you think we should wear gray.
What? We are not wearing black.
Five more minutes, okay? Tell me about Lenny.
Car's registered to Hoyt Garvey, 7 6.
No record.
I'll take a drive.
See if he's home.
I'll run the people she works with, go back to the bookstore.
You gonna talk to her husband? They have kids? How old? Fourteen, 1 2, 1 0, six.
The six-year-old's the only one we gotta worry about.
- [ Shout Greetings .]
- Oh, shit.
Come here, bug face.
- Hi, girl.
- Ohh, you.
- Oh, yeah.
- Ain't that nice? - Light as a feather.
- Okay, all hugged up? - Have you heard anything yet? - Did you talk to Paige? - I need to call the mayor? - Is she in any danger? - Guys, we're looking into it.
-Joe Hanadarko.
- Hey, man.
- You taking good care of my little sister? - Which one of you's Ham? - Ham Dewey, man.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey, what's up? - Where's Paige now? - I followed her to work.
She's fine.
- Yeah.
- You know, if you guys want to do something, take turns.
- Stay with her.
-Just give us the guy's address.
We'll take care of him.
Are you worried about this? This is serious, isn't it, Grace? Guys, the three of us are gonna look into it.
We got it, okay? - [Johnny .]
Are you sure? - You know she used to eat bugs? - Hey, Grace- -[Johnny .]
What did Paige say? - Roly-polies,junebugs, crickets.
- Okay, time to go.
Go! Hey.
Hey, guys, Mom doesn't need to know about this.
She just gonna worry, okay? Yeah, that's a good idea.
Everyone hear that? We don't tell Mom.
Yeah, okay.
We don't tell Mom.
Call me later.
See ya, hon.
- You sure you can handle this? - Ow.
Yes, yes, let go! Can you believe this shit about wearing white for the picture? [ Laughs .]
- Bug face, man? - [ Laughs .]
Do you know how many bug jokes I'm gonna have to deal with now? Yeah, you used to eat crickets, Grace, and put roly-polies on your pizza.
On your pizza.
Just once.
Three times.
That's it.
- No, you didn't.
- [ Laughs Quietly .]
[ Sighs .]
I gotta go talk to Mr.
Perfect Teeth.
- Let me know if you find anything in the car.
- Wait.
I want to show you something I'm working on.
Take 1 0 seconds.
Go with me here.
Shit, Rhetta.
I'm telling you.
It all means something.
- What if- - What? - Nothing.
- What? - Do you see something? - Well, look.
I mean, it's all right there.
- What? - Earl's a litterbug.
- [ Laughs .]
- [ Table Rattles .]
- [ Mutters .]
- He gave me a T-shirt this morning.
- He got it in Malibu.
Had a big ''M'' on it.
- ''M.
'' - ''M.
'' - Shut up.
This is after you had the dream about the dog with the long tongue.
He suggested therapy.
He said, ''Sometimes you gotta go backwards to go forward.
'' And what is dog spelled backwards? Well, I don't have time for this shit.
Are you telling me she's in danger? I got patrol driving past your house and her work twice an hour.
Know this guy? - No.
- You know a guy named Hoyt Garvey? No.
- Any reason you'd have somebody tailing your wife? - No.
Paige said he's an acquaintance.
You think she's having an affair, and I had her followed? - Happens all the time.
-Jesus.
Grace, we're talking about Paige.
- I know.
- She's not having an affair.
- Where were these taken? - Highland Perk Coffee House.
- [ Sighs .]
- What? What do I do? I mean, should I hire security? Tell me about your finances.
You owe anybody money? Hey, man.
I saved you something.
[ Laughs .]
- Thanks.
- Oh, no, no, no, no.
Are you insane? Protein, man.
Okay, I'm used to civilians don't want to talk to cops.
I get that.
But my own family's giving me the spin around.
[ Sucks Teeth .]
Antenna.
- [ Sucks Teeth .]
- Well, did you get anything out of him? Yeah.
My brother-in-law's full of shit.
Where are you at? We got no sign of Lenny.
But a couple customers recognize his picture.
Said he's been in here a few times.
Same with Hoyt Garvey.
One lady remembers him.
Said he stood right over there, had a camera.
- Take the pictures? - No.
She didn't see that.
She just thought he was a cute old man.
- Anybody talk to him or Lenny? - No.
No.
No.
I asked about Paige too.
Nobody remembers her.
Neither does the owner.
[ Indistinct .]
- Shit! - What? Paige told me she comes in here five times a week.
You gotta talk to her.
She might open up to you.
Come on.
Do me this solid.
- You gonna owe me.
- I give good payback.
Yeah.
Hey, Grace.
- I'm gonna wait for you.
- Here? I'm gonna wait for you to tell me you love me.
Here? - Hey, where are you going? - I'm desperate, man.
If Paige was gonna talk to anybody about her problems, it would be you.
Not as her priest, as her brother.
So don't give me any confessional bullshit.
- This your way of asking for help? - Mmm.
[ Inhales .]
She's not gonna tellJoe,Jimmy or Leo.
Sure as hell ain't gonna tell me.
She's gonna tell you.
Ever wonder why that is, Grace? Why she doesn't feel comfortable coming to you? - What about Buck? - I am not gonna talk to you about Buck.
Johnny.
Listen to me.
I need help.
If I have don't have to go after the guy sleeping with Paige or some loan shark coming after Buck over a gambling problem nobody knows about it's gonna save a whole lot of time- May even save her life.
So it takes a criminal investigation for you to care about your sister? That is such bullshit! You know, Mary Frances always hoped that the two of you would get closer.
Yeah, 'cause she wanted Paige and me to share a bedroom.
So that's it? That's all I get? Our dead sister? Nothing about Paige? Paige signed a bogus petition Lenny had for an organization called Parents of American Veterans.
- V.
A.
said there's no such thing.
- What'd she give him? Name, address, social security number.
- I already called her.
Told her to freeze their bank accounts.
- This puts a new light on things.
Maybe the person who's the target of the pictures is Lenny and not Paige.
Somebody he scammed is pissed, watching, waiting for the right moment? I mean, could be.
[ Chirps .]
[ Revs Engine, Tires Screech .]
What else you lying about, Buck? Not only does Paige know but she's been spying on the other woman in her own bookstore.
- Whoa.
- It's gotta be killing Paige.
You gonna tell her you know? She had the chance to tell me, didn't take it.
- She doesn't need to know I know.
- Gotta hand it to her.
Pretty ballsy stuff spying on the mistress.
Wonder if any wives ever spied on you.
Ouch.
- [ Children Squealing .]
- Hey! How many times do I have to tell you two? Go to bed! Oh, shit.
I'm wasted, you know? Dealing with family's 1 0 times harder than dealing with a serial killer.
Earl talks about healing.
Your family has shit.
Every family has shit, but you just checked out, Grace.
And it's not fair.
They don't understand.
[ Tapping .]
[ Grace.]
If this crap makes any sense at all I've been avoiding the memory of something Irish.
- It starts with an ''M.
'' - The Murrah Building and Father Patrick ''Satan'' Murphy.
Don't know about taco, tulips, spices.
Sometimes a taco is just a taco.
Say I did start therapy, which I won't well, Father Patrick ''Satan'' Murphy and the bombing of the Murrah Building might come up.
- Earl said he wants you to heal.
- Holy Redeemer.
Redeem, to atone- That's what he wants.
- That's not what he said.
- Earl the puppeteer.
Why all the mystery? He shows up, leaves shit, gives me stupid-ass answers to any question I ask.
[ Rhetta .]
Maybe he wants you to put out a little effort.
- He, as in God.
- So it's God doing this.
- He's the Holy Redeemer.
- I thought he was the dog with the long tongue.
Earl said God has big plans for you.
He also said God uses palm trees as toothpicks.
That's the good thing about the dry erase boards.
You can just write everything all over again.
Gotta have something to write.
Think I'll just keep Earl's trash to myself from now on.
Grace, I talked to the guys in white collar.
They never heard of P.
A.
V.
But they had a scam last year.
F.
A.
V.
, Families of American Veterans.
Check that.
Looks a lot like Lenny.
Damn straight.
That his real name? They never found him.
Says he's smart, targets anyone who looks vulnerable.
F.
A.
V.
wiped out six people over two million dollars.
- Is everything okay? - Fine.
Fine.
- Hey, you got that map from the car, Rhetta? - Over there.
All right.
Hey, check this out.
Okay? All were elderly victims.
All lived in Marshall Hills.
All signed the F.
A.
V.
petition either at the grocery store, retirement home, driving range.
And Hoyt Garvey had golf tees in his trunk.
Damn straight.
He was one of the victims.
He and his wife lost everything.
So Garvey was taking pictures of Lenny, not Paige? Paige is safe? Not till we find these guys.
[ Knocking .]
- Yeah? - We're looking for Hoyt Garvey.
- Yeah? - You know where he is? - No.
- Where's his car? Probably driving it.
Why you looking for my grandpa? - How about your grandma? She home? - Nah.
- Where is she? - Dead, last year.
Why? -When was the last time you saw your grandfather? -About a week.
- [ Ham .]
Why is that? - Been in Taos.
Got back, like, six hours ago.
- Was his car here when you got back? - I don't know.
It was dark.
- Mind if we come in? - Yeah! - [ Slams .]
- [ Rhetta .]
Sorry.
It's not often dead people come back to life in my world.
Mine either.
People really believed he was dead.
- He had tongue cancer.
- No.
He never had tongue cancer.
Yes, he did! We were 1 2 years old, 6th grade.
Father Murphy was transferred to a parish in Vermont, and he died of tongue cancer.
No, that was just a rumor.
He fell down.
He bit his tongue.
And a few weeks later he was transferred to Vermont.
Where is he now? Uh, he's retired.
He's in Tulsa.
Why? Why was he sent to Vermont? - I don't know.
- Yes, you do.
You work for the church checking out pedophile priests.
And Murphy is a pedophile, and you know it.
What are you talking about? Rhetta, his name has never come across my desk.
Where did you hear this? You don't believe me, check him out.
- Where the hell are we going? - [ Cell Phone Rings .]
- [ Sighs .]
- [ Ringing Continues .]
- Hey, Paige.
- [ Shouting, Indistinct .]
- What? - My house is ruined.
Everything- Slow down.
Paige? I-I can't understand you.
Calm down.
Tell me what happened.
- [ Paige Indistinct .]
- Yes, I'm here.
Fine.
- My house is ruined- - Yes.
Good-bye.
- What happened? - Water heater flooded her whole house so I have to have the party.
- Tell me where we're going! -Just shut up.
Let me drive.
You'll know soon enough.
[ Sighs .]
I need you to back up, Grace.
- What? - Back away from me.
- Why? -Just back away from me! What? Father Patrick ''Satan'' Murphy is alive, Grace.
He's in Tulsa at a retirement home for priests called Holy Redeemer.
There was no death certificate issued.
I tracked him to Vermont.
They said he went to Boston.
Boston said he went to Pittsburgh.
Then Rhode Island and Maine.
He retired three years ago in Tulsa.
- They told us he was dead.
- I know.
Let's go.
No.
No, Grace.
That's why we're here.
You need time.
Scream.
Yell.
Do whatever you need to do.
- I need to leave.
- I won't take you.
What do you mean you won't take me? Get in the car.
Now.
We're not going anywhere until you've had time to process this.
Rhetta, don't do this shit, man.
- Get in the car.
- No.
- Give me the keys.
- No.
- Damn it.
- [ Sighs .]
- [ Clanks .]
- What? Did you hide it inside? [ Rustling .]
[ Thumping .]
[ Screaming .]
God damn it! - I'm so sorry.
- [ Sighs .]
You know, Grace, the only time we ever really talked about this we were 1 6 and drunk.
You didn't really tell me much that night either.
First time, it was raining.
He kept me after school.
He sent me out to the car to get- I don't know, something.
I got sopping wet.
So he took me over to the rectory.
Had me take off all my clothes.
Stood me in front of the mirror.
He told me how perfect I was.
How God made me special.
So pretty.
I was God's special gift just for him.
And he gave me one of his shirts to put on.
And we had hot chocolate.
[ Sniffs .]
How old were you? Nine.
[ Exhales .]
- He ever try anything with you? - No.
That's because your-your parents never invited him to Sunday supper.
Perfect grooming ground for pedophiles.
He'd take all seven of us out for ice cream to Frontier City, the movies.
But he'd sit next to me.
He'd put his hand between my legs.
It felt good.
Bad-good.
But good.
And he said God made me all tingly because- So I'd- I'd know it was okay.
But it didn't feel okay.
Bastard.
[ Sniffs .]
My 1 1 th birthday, after mass he told me he had a present for me.
We sat in the pews beside the altar and he gave me some rosary beads blessed by the pope.
Then he raped me.
- It went on about a year.
- It stopped when he left? It stopped when I got my period.
I didn't know what was going on.
Mom gave me a box of pads and a book to read.
And Father Murphy stopped giving me presents.
Started giving 'em to Paige.
- Oh, Grace.
- So I went to see him.
Said I missed him.
Asked him for a kiss.
I can still see his scratchy tongue coming out at me.
When he stuck his tongue down my throat, I bit down as hard as I could.
I almost bit it off.
He- He's spitting blood when he screamed at me that I was going to hell.
That God would punish me.
And I screamed right back.
Told him to stay away from Paige or I'd tell the nuns what he did.
A week later, he was gone.
[ Sniffs .]
And then the tongue cancer rumor started.
[ Both Chuckle .]
Only time in my life I thought God was just.
Now that he's alive, you want to kill him, don't you? I want to know how many kids he's hurt.
And when you do? - [ Whispers .]
He's going to prison.
- [ Cell Phones Ring .]
- Yeah? - Yeah? - [ Sniffs .]
- We're on our way.
[ Sniffs .]
[ Both Sniffing .]
- [ Ham .]
Found Lenny.
- [ Bobby .]
He's been dead about 30 hours.
Right around the time of the car fire.
- Shit.
A bullet to the head.
- Through and through.
- Rhetta, shooter left you a present.
- Nice.
- How'd you find him? - Shop owner recognized Lenny's picture.
Sent me here.
[ Rhetta .]
Grace, look at this.
Paige Cushing.
He was killed before he could move any money.
His real name is Mitch Tupper.
He, uh, got busted in Fort Worth for running a lottery scam.
- Did two years.
- Comes up to the Big Friendly, rips off the wrong guy.
- [ Chuckles .]
- What did you get on the grandson? His name is, uh, Kip Garvey.
He has a bust for weed, two assaults, one burglary.
Maybe Kip was upset losing out on his inheritance.
Wanted some of it back.
- How much was it? - Almost $400,000.
- Maybe Kip was driving the car.
- Reason Grandpa may not be home.
Kip kill him too? - Civilians aren't allowed down here.
- I need to talk to you.
- Let's go out.
- Was Grace molested by Father Murphy? I never said that,Johnny.
Is the bullet a match? Um, I don't know yet.
ButJohnny knows.
-Johnny knows what? -Johnny knows about you and Father Murphy.
I had to make sure he was alive, and Johnny works for the archdiocese.
- You told him, Rhetta? - [ Crying .]
No.
But he knows.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, Grace.
I think he's on his way to Tulsa.
[ Snipping .]
John! [ Gasps .]
-Johnny's got a nice right hook.
- You happy? I'm here.
This what you wanted all along? I knew this day was comin'.
Didn't know it'd be today.
All the crap you left me, like bread crumbs.
And I followed them just like you planned.
- I didn't plan any of this.
- Bullshit.
The tulip, Leon Cooley's tattoo, stupid duck.
Well, I just whittled the duck.
Don't know why.
I've always been a sucker for mysteries.
So what's the point? - I don't know.
- Bullshit.
I can't interfere, Grace.
Can't unlock your handcuffs, stop tornadoes control pedophiles.
I'm just FedEx delivering the message.
[ Tires Screech .]
Hoyt Garvey, O.
C.
P.
D.
- We need to ask you a few questions.
- He doesn't know anything.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Come on.
We're going inside.
[ Bobby .]
You're a hard man to find.
Where you been? - You don't have to answer that.
- What are we gonna do, Kip? - Go on the lam? - Stop talking.
[ Bobby .]
Do you know Mitch Tupper? Also goes by the name of Lenny? - I killed him.
- Shit, Grandpa! - Why? - He killed my wife.
Your wife was murdered? Julia signed his petition and two days later, all our money was gone.
She never forgave herself.
We had all these plans,you know? I would've been happy sitting on the front porch.
She died, heart attack because of what he did to us.
That was a year ago.
The cops couldn't find him.
How'd you find him? Grandpa, you need to shut up.
I did a bad thing, Kip.
Gotta own up to it.
I saw him last week at the bookstore.
- Started following him.
- What made you make your move? I was just gonna scare him, turn him over to you guys, you know? And then I saw that pretty lady sign his petition.
And I just didn't want him to hurt anybody else.
- You follow him home? - Yep.
Shot him.
Karma, I guess- My car overheated on the way home.
Sir, you need to listen to me.
You didn't follow him home.
[ Bobby .]
Do you understand, Mr.
Garvey? - Grandpa, listen to them.
- He got away.
You knew where he lived because you'd been following him.
So you went there to turn him in to us and lost control.
Spur of the moment, shot him.
You follow him home? No.
He got away.
You need to get your grandfather an attorney.
Turn around, sir.
Put your hands out.
- [Joe.]
No, I know that.
- Oh! [ Cheering, Applause .]
I told you she'd come back! - I told you.
- You said a quarter, right? - Five bucks.
Pay up, UncleJimmy.
- There you go.
- UncleJoe? - Don't get used to it.
- Uncle Leo? - Yeah, yeah.
Honey, this is the best present I could get.
Hug.
Hug.
- Happy birthday, Mom.
- Thanks.
Assholes.
You bet I wouldn't bring back your fancy-ass beer? - Oh, thank you, ma'am.
- Better than I expected.
Get over here a second.
- So, no affair? - Paige wasn't having an affair.
She was being scammed.
Good.
World can tilt back on its axis now.
Paige is still perfect.
- Leo, use a coaster, please.
- [ Groans .]
- What were you saying about me? - The party's perfect.
Mom's happy you're doing this.
- We found the- the guy taking the pictures.
- I know.
Ham was considerate enough to call me to tell me I had my life back.
Kids, no.
No, no.
No running.
I wanted to tell you in person.
But I should've called.
Try the dip.
It's good.
[ Chattering .]
[ Child .]
Oh, it's so much fun.
To win- [ Rock .]
[ Chattering Continues .]
Don't say anything.
- I didn't know, Grace.
- The church knew.
The photographer will be here any second.
So last minute touch-ups.
Honey, put on some lipstick, okay? Mom, you remember Father Patrick Murphy? Oh, sure I do.
He died of tongue cancer in Vermont when you were just a little girl.
Lipstick, okay? - You know, she would kill him.
- I don't want her to know.
You don't have to do this alone anymore.
I don't want anyone to know.
[ Sighs .]
I'm so sorry.
I know you're a good priest.
[ Sighs .]
How's that family who lost the baby? We bury him tomorrow.
Ready? [ Rattling .]
[ Panting .]
Are you God? Figures.
God.
God.
The powerful.
The almighty God.
You want me to talk to you? Turn to you? Believe in you? Why? Why the hell would I trust you, should anyone trust you? That baby dies.
Murphy ends up in a beautiful house with a goddamn rose garden.
He lives in a neighborhood with- with families, with children.
Little girls.
And he gardens.
He watches them, and his dick still gets hard! And you give him that! You give him roses! Why would I turn to you? I hate you! I hate you! Earl! Where's all the angel help? - [ Gun Scrapes .]
- I'm gonna kill him, Earl.
I'm gonna put my gun right on his scarred tongue and blow his head off 'cause I don't give a shit about you.
Or you either! [ Panting .]
- [ Cocks .]
- Go! - [ Panting .]
- I'll blow your tongue off.
[ Engine Roars .]
[ Barking .]
[ Scratching At Lock .]
[ Squeaks .]
[ Snoring Lightly .]
[ Grunts, Gasps .]
A little girl says you touched her inappropriately in class.
- You know anything about that, Father? - What are you? - Answer me.
- I'm not in the classroom anymore.
Why the hell aren't you in a prison cell? How many girls you raped? Ten? Twenty? Hundreds? I'm retired.
I spend my life in prayer.
You go to the store? Movies? On walks? You go for walks, Father? - [ Whimpers .]
- There's a girls' school a couple of blocks away.
Here you go.
Sweet old priest out for a stroll.
Coppin' looks at all the little girls.
- How's your tongue? - Do-Do I know you? - I'm Grace Hanadarko.
- [ Gasps .]
Get out of bed.
Kneel down.
- Forgive me.
- Shut up.
- Please.
- Open your mouth.
That's what you used to say to me.
[ Sobs .]
I pray for you every day.
I don't want you thinking about me.
I deserve eternal damnation for what I did.
You don't.
Don't do this.
Don't put the mark of murder on your soul.
I'm [ Slowly .]
just FedEx trying to deliver a message.
[ Exhales Shakily .]
You know a guy named Earl? An angel named Earl? [ Sighs Shakily .]
