00:00:00It's of all foreign use now to look at stories from Angola, Cyprus and France.
00:00:29In Angola, between 500 and 1,000 people are feared to have died in three days of fighting
00:00:35in Rwanda, the capital, between rival liberation groups.
00:01:08It's been a while since I've been in Rwanda, and it's been a while since I've been in Rwanda.

00:05:07Valerie!
00:05:12Turn, stop!
00:05:13No, my fault.
00:05:14Are you all right?
00:05:15I'll live.
00:05:16Come on, stand up.
00:05:19I know you.
00:05:21You're a...
00:05:32No, I don't get down there much, some sets a bit of a track.
00:05:35of a track. Neither do I. You know my mother died about three years ago. Oh, I'm sorry.
00:05:42It's nice running into you like this. It was me that ran into you, remember? It's my fault.
00:05:48I was in a dream. Got a few problems at the moment. Oh, haven't we all? Oh, you too. I don't seem
00:05:55to have anywhere to live at the moment. Never mind, something will turn up. What's, uh, what's wrong
00:06:00with you? Oh, this guy I live with. You know, I was telling you about it. Things aren't going
00:06:05very well. Still, let's not talk about that. Well, I am supposed to be able to listen, you know. Not in the middle of the high street.
00:06:12Well, if you do need somebody to talk to, you know, it sounds like I'm trying to do a conversation job on you, doesn't it?
00:06:18I do mean a thing. I know.
00:06:29Jenny.
00:06:33Hi, Bob. Got time for a drink? I'm not getting in that thing with you. Anyway, I'm a bit busy now. Oh, okay. Give you a ring, yeah? Yes.
00:06:43Now, I'll see if I can get in.
00:06:48You'll never guess who I met. I think you'd better go upstairs, Jenny. Yes, I will. I am. Bernard Cutler.
00:06:54Yeah, just like him. Tried to knock me down. Vanessa, you won't believe this. He's become a priest. Isn't that incredible?
00:07:03He works in that church up by the library. Stranger things have happened. Oh, I'm in a wonderful mood. Yeah, well, I've been
00:07:10trying to cope with your delightful boyfriend for the past half hour. That's why. Oh, dear. I think you had better go upstairs, Jenny.
00:07:17It could be trouble. Oh, Bernard said he might call in later. Did he? No, he didn't, actually. He said he'd definitely call in when I told him you were here, that is.
00:07:28But you've got to tell me why. Why do I always have to have a reason? I'm moving on, that's all. It's time to go, darling.
00:07:41Well, if you get out of here now, you can stay out. Oh, that's up to you. Well, if it's up to me, you bastard, don't ever set foot in this flat again. Do you understand? Ever again.
00:07:58I told you, Jen.
00:08:29You are a right little charmer, aren't you?
00:08:34Get fucked.
00:08:58Excuse me. Is Father Cutler here?
00:09:23No, I haven't seen him.
00:09:25Thank you.
00:09:55Thank you.
00:10:25Excuse me. Excuse me. Do you know Father Cutler's here?
00:10:41No, sorry.
00:10:43Do you know who's taking confession?
00:10:45What?
00:10:46Who's taking confession?
00:10:48I don't know. I've never been here before.
00:10:51Oh, fine.
00:11:17Yes?
00:11:20I can't say it. I just can't.
00:11:25Do you wish to make a confession or not?
00:11:55No, I don't.
00:12:24I'm listening.
00:12:27I'm sorry, Father.
00:12:30When did you last confess?
00:12:33I'm sorry. I shouldn't be here.
00:12:36Are you without sin?
00:12:38No, it's not that. It's just that I...
00:12:40Then you should be here.
00:12:42No, I was... I was looking for someone.
00:12:46Are you being honest?
00:12:48I don't understand.
00:12:51One may look for another in a church, but not in a confessional.
00:12:55One enters only to unburden one's soul.
00:12:58Is that not correct?
00:13:01Yes.
00:13:02Then how are you troubled?
00:13:05Well, as a man.
00:13:10A man I love. And he's left me.
00:13:13And I can't go on without him. I know I can't.
00:13:17Who is this man?
00:13:19I lived with him.
00:13:22And slept together?
00:13:26We slept together, yes.
00:13:29Why did you hesitate?
00:13:31Because...
00:13:33Because...
00:13:36Had intercourse?
00:13:38You see, he...
00:13:40He doesn't care about my feelings.
00:13:42He's... He's got other girls.
00:13:45And he doesn't even attempt to try and hide it.
00:13:48I mean, I could put up with it.
00:13:50I could put up with anything.
00:13:52If only...
00:13:54How long?
00:13:56I don't know.
00:13:58I don't know.
00:14:01I could put up with anything.
00:14:03If only...
00:14:05How long is it since you were last intimate?
00:14:10Oh, I don't know.
00:14:15Why is it important?
00:14:17Tell me.
00:14:20I want you to tell me.
00:14:32It really is true.
00:14:37I went to the labor exchange. It was the only job they had.
00:14:41Thank you.
00:14:45No, no, I didn't mean that at all.
00:14:48No, as long as you're happy, that's the main thing.
00:14:51You are happy, aren't you?
00:14:53Yes, of course. I mean, there are things wrong with the church, but...
00:14:56Well, every job has its problems.
00:14:59Well, we can solve one of them right now.
00:15:02Can we?
00:15:04Accommodation.
00:15:06Yes, but wait a minute. What happens if this friend of yours doesn't want me as a partner?
00:15:10Well, that's what we're going to have to find out, isn't it?
00:15:12Okay.
00:15:14If he doesn't, you could always stay here.
00:15:17I mean, that's if it wouldn't upset anyone.
00:15:19What, here?
00:15:20Well, I don't see why not. There was a guy living here. Did Jenny tell you?
00:15:23Her boyfriend.
00:15:25Her ex-boyfriend. He moved out this evening.
00:15:28So?
00:15:30Sounds like a good idea.
00:15:32Well, we'll just see, shall we?
00:15:36Bernd, I did tell you how nice it was to see you again, didn't I?
00:15:40Yes.
00:15:44You're holding something back.
00:15:46I don't want to say anything else.
00:15:48There's no need to be embarrassed about discussing sexual matters with me.
00:15:52I'm not embarrassed.
00:15:55Then tell me everything.
00:15:57I had an abortion. A few months ago.
00:16:00He forced you?
00:16:02I shouldn't have come here. It was all a mistake.
00:16:06Don't go.
00:16:09I want to help you.
00:16:11I don't think you can. I'm sorry.
00:16:14You must let me try.
00:16:16Not now, Father. I'm late for an appointment. Please.
00:16:20Then tomorrow.
00:16:22Come and see me tomorrow.
00:16:24Not to confession. Just to talk.
00:16:27Will you?
00:16:29I'll try.
00:16:31Together, we will seek God's help.
00:16:34Thank you, Father.
00:16:36What time will you come?
00:16:53Bob?
00:16:55You know that drink? Do you fancy some company?
00:17:03I only phone you when I need you, don't I?
00:17:05That's all right. Come on. I'm parked in somebody's driveway.
00:17:22Bye.
00:17:42My keys. Have I left them in the car?
00:17:44I'll have a look.
00:17:46Oh, bloody hell. I must have left them in the phone box.
00:17:50They're not here. Come on, we'll go back.
00:17:52Oh, what's the point? Somebody will have picked them up.
00:17:55Oh. We're not going to get in, then, are we?
00:17:58We are.
00:18:00Nobody's looking.
00:18:02That's a bit dangerous, isn't it?
00:18:04Well...
00:18:21Almost ready.
00:18:23Oh, fine.
00:18:25Did he buy all these?
00:18:27No, he gets them free. He's in the business.
00:18:29What does he do?
00:18:31He knows he does most of the time. He calls himself a record-plugger.
00:18:34From what you say, he doesn't sound like much of a loss.
00:18:38No, but I love him.
00:18:40He's a trouble.
00:18:42Do you?
00:18:44I was trying to find someone to talk to tonight,
00:18:47and I went up to the church to look for an old friend, but he wasn't there.
00:18:50I felt so desperate.
00:18:52But I went to confession.
00:18:54Isn't that stupid? I haven't done it since I was at school.
00:18:57Did it do any good?
00:18:59You must be joking. It made things ten times worse.
00:19:02Why?
00:19:04It was this priest.
00:19:06He was really strange.
00:19:09In what way?
00:19:11In what way?
00:19:16I must have left my cigarettes in that phone box. You don't smoke, do you?
00:19:19No, sorry.
00:19:21I'll go and get some. It'll only take a few minutes.
00:19:23No, it's all right.
00:19:25Oh, and switch the thing off, if it works, will you?
00:19:28Okay.
00:19:41Come on.
00:20:11I love you.
00:20:41Hey!
00:21:11Bryson!
00:21:16Where did you come from?
00:21:19How did you get in?
00:21:22You must be crazy.
00:21:24You've ruined...
00:21:32What do you want?
00:21:41Come on.
00:21:43Who are you? What do you want?
00:21:47For Christ's sake, what do you want?
00:21:53Don't come any closer. You'll get this. I mean it.
00:22:11Help!
00:22:27Robert?
00:22:31Robert?
00:22:41Robert?
00:23:11Robert?
00:23:41Robert?
00:23:55Virginia!
00:23:57I'm sorry.
00:23:59I'm sorry.
00:24:02I'm sorry.
00:24:06I can't believe this happened.
00:24:09It's a chance in a million.
00:24:11No, don't throw it away.
00:24:13Why?
00:24:14Well, someone might want to examine it.
00:24:16What for?
00:24:17It blew up.
00:24:19A fat lot of use it is to Robert lying there in hospital.
00:24:26You shouldn't have let me move in tonight.
00:24:28You probably want to be alone.
00:24:30We wouldn't have known what to have done without you.
00:24:32I haven't done anything.
00:24:33We both needed you here.
00:24:35Come on, Jen. Bed.
00:24:37Wait. The hospital might bring...
00:24:39They said there'd be no news tonight.
00:24:41Come on, there's nothing more we can do.
00:24:47Oh, I forgot to tell you something.
00:24:49After I found Robert, this door was unlocked.
00:24:53So?
00:24:54But it was locked before. I locked it myself.
00:25:08Hello.
00:25:10Liz.
00:25:12Speaking.
00:25:13Hospital.
00:25:17How did I...?
00:25:25Good morning.
00:25:26Morning.
00:25:27Excuse my appearance.
00:25:29If ever the way that Terry used to wander around this house, you're positively overdressed.
00:25:33Please, I'm a man of the church.
00:25:35No one would think it to look at you now.
00:25:37It's funny, you look almost human.
00:25:40What are you doing?
00:25:42I'm baking an eggs after a fashion.
00:25:44Don't tell me you don't want me.
00:25:49Morning, love.
00:25:50Morning.
00:25:52Who was that on the phone?
00:25:54Oh, Father, someone or other. The one at your church, Bernard.
00:25:57Melvin?
00:25:58Does he know I'm here?
00:26:00No.
00:26:01I left my keys there last night when I went to look for you.
00:26:04He found them.
00:26:05I'll fetch them for you tonight, if you like.
00:26:07No, it's all right. They're not there anymore.
00:26:09He's taken them home with him.
00:26:12To the presbytery.
00:26:34Come on.
00:26:35Come on.
00:26:36Come on.
00:27:02Um, Father Melvin was expecting me.
00:27:06Thank you.
00:27:12Thank you.
00:27:25Would you mind waiting?
00:27:27Yes, of course.
00:27:36Thank you.
00:27:57I'm sorry, but he's extremely busy and he cannot be interrupted.
00:28:02No.
00:28:04Now look what you've done.
00:28:06Selfish, naughty old woman.
00:28:09How many friends do you have?
00:28:12Thank you.
00:28:32Oh, my God.
00:28:33It's all right.
00:28:34It's all right.
00:28:35It's all right.
00:28:36You're finished. You must go.
00:28:38Oh, my God.
00:28:40Oh, my God.
00:28:41What did you do?
00:29:06Can I help you?
00:29:09Thank you.
00:29:39Thank you.
00:29:55I'm sorry to have kept you.
00:29:57I can't stop, actually.
00:29:59Just step inside a moment.
00:30:06How are you feeling this morning?
00:30:09I'm glad you came back to see me.
00:30:11You did the right thing.
00:30:13I'm sorry.
00:30:14I think you're mistaking me for someone else.
00:30:16My name's Jenny Welsh.
00:30:18You came to see me yesterday.
00:30:20Troubled.
00:30:21In need of help.
00:30:22And I am here to provide it.
00:30:24Oh, I see.
00:30:27Yes.
00:30:29Well, I'm sorry about that.
00:30:32I shouldn't have used you.
00:30:34Then why are you here?
00:30:36You said you have my keys.
00:30:41Are you afraid?
00:30:43Afraid of the man who defiled you?
00:30:46Don't be.
00:30:47He won't harm you again.
00:30:50I won't allow any man to do that.
00:30:52Think of the spiritual rewards we'll find, Jenny.
00:30:55Here.
00:30:57This man, he's corrupting you.
00:31:00Let me show you.
00:31:02Let me show you.
00:31:03Let me show you the way to true happiness.
00:31:09I'm afraid I can't spare the time.
00:31:12I have to get back to the shop, you see.
00:31:17If I could just have my keys.
00:31:19I have many pupils, you know.
00:31:22And I always quote them a line from the book of Numbers.
00:31:26Chapter 32.
00:31:29Be sure your sin will find you out.
00:31:33There's no need to be embarrassed about discussing sexual matters with me.
00:31:37I'm not embarrassed.
00:31:39Then tell me everything.
00:31:41I had an abortion.
00:31:43A few months ago.
00:31:45He forced you.
00:31:46I shouldn't have come to that.
00:31:48It was all a mistake.
00:31:50Don't go.
00:31:54You have no right.
00:31:55I have every right.
00:31:57I was put on this earth to combat sin.
00:31:59And I shall use every available means to do so.
00:32:02That's a breach of a basic Catholic ethic.
00:32:07Only if someone else hears it.
00:32:10So we must make sure that no one else does.
00:32:13What do you mean?
00:32:14We must make sure that your family don't find out about the unborn child you murdered.
00:32:20I don't believe this.
00:32:22Is it so hard to understand?
00:32:24A priest attempting to put his parishioners back on the path of righteousness.
00:32:28My key.
00:32:30You cannot survive without me.
00:32:55You cannot survive without me.
00:33:16There's no need to be embarrassed about discussing sexual matters with me.
00:33:20I'm not embarrassed.
00:33:22Then tell me everything.
00:33:24I had an abortion.
00:33:30I didn't hear you knock.
00:33:32How strange.
00:33:35What do you want?
00:33:36I heard shouting.
00:33:37Really?
00:33:38Well, it was nothing that concerns you, Miss Robinson.
00:33:41It was just a young person in need of guidance.
00:33:44Just one of the many.
00:33:46No, Father.
00:33:48This one was different, wasn't she?
00:33:52No.
00:33:58Is Bernard here?
00:33:59No, he went off to take benediction or something.
00:34:02He's got to talk to somebody.
00:34:04That priest I went to see is insane.
00:34:06Okay, Jenny, but I...
00:34:08No, no, no. Listen to me.
00:34:10We've got to do something.
00:34:11We've got to find the church authorities or the police or...
00:34:15Jenny.
00:34:17It's Terry.
00:34:19He's back.
00:34:20He's here.
00:34:22Come in.
00:34:30I'm sorry.
00:34:31What have you got to be sorry about?
00:34:33I'm sorry.
00:34:34Oh, I lose my temper and I say things I don't mean.
00:34:38Forget it.
00:34:43Are you all right?
00:34:45Hey, Jenny.
00:34:47Well, something happened this evening.
00:34:49It upset me.
00:34:50What?
00:34:52You wouldn't be interested.
00:34:54Tell me.
00:35:03Have you nothing better to do?
00:35:05Not until 7.30, no.
00:35:07I'm taking benediction at St. Bartholomew's.
00:35:09Father Trafford is still ill, so I said that I...
00:35:11Very interesting.
00:35:12I fail to see how a service at 7.30 has anything to do with wasting time here at 6.30.
00:35:18But still...
00:35:20As a matter of fact, I was reading about Franz De Vries.
00:35:23You remember the Belgian Cardinal?
00:35:25He's going to the Vatican Council meeting on Monday.
00:35:28Determined to reintroduce his motion to abolish celibacy.
00:35:31I have little regard for the whims of renegade Belgian Cardinals.
00:35:35Nor, I fancy, will the Sacred College.
00:35:38But it's an important issue, Father.
00:35:40It ought to be discussed.
00:35:42Don't you think that the need for celibacy, especially today, isn't all that relevant?
00:35:46Especially when one considers...
00:35:48Relevant to what?
00:35:49Relevant to increasing permissiveness in society. Is that what you mean?
00:35:53There are those, Father Cutler, including yourself, no doubt,
00:35:57who would rip away the whole fabric of the Catholic Church if they had the opportunity.
00:36:00But times change, and we must change with them.
00:36:02By whose orders?
00:36:07Go about your business.
00:36:13Oh, er...
00:36:14By the way...
00:36:16The Robertson funeral tomorrow.
00:36:18I'm well aware of the fact that the Robertson funeral is tomorrow.
00:36:21But it's been cancelled.
00:36:23They've decided to put him in the family crypt instead.
00:36:26So the grave will have to be filled in.
00:36:28I'll see to it.
00:36:29Well, if you give me the grave digger's number...
00:36:30I said I will see to it!
00:36:32Father!
00:36:35I'm coming. Go, go.
00:36:43Please don't be here when I return.
00:36:49Please.
00:37:09I'll get the church authorities. I'm going round him myself.
00:37:12What are you going to do?
00:37:14I'll sort him out.
00:37:15That won't get us anywhere.
00:37:17It'll get us that bloody tape, won't it?
00:37:21Hello?
00:37:22Hello, yeah, yeah, I want to speak to somebody called, er...
00:37:24Meldrum.
00:37:27Yeah? Yeah, where's that?
00:37:29Yeah, OK, tell her.
00:37:31He's got a son, Church.
00:37:33The, er, Sacred Heart.
00:37:34It's up by the library.
00:37:36Yeah, right.
00:37:38Don't go too strong, will you, Tony, for God's sake?
00:37:41Huh.
00:38:03Father Meldrum.
00:38:12Yeah?
00:38:23I'm Mrs. Davy.
00:38:25Is there something I can do for you?
00:38:27Mrs. Davy!
00:38:29I don't recall the name, I'm sorry.
00:38:32You knew my daughter.
00:38:34Valerie Davy.
00:38:37Valerie! Oh, yes, of course.
00:38:40How is she?
00:38:41She's dead, Father.
00:38:43She threw herself out of a window.
00:38:45My poor woman.
00:38:47Don't pretend you're upset,
00:38:49because I know you're not.
00:38:52I know a lot about you, Father.
00:38:55I know that Valerie used to come and see you every night,
00:38:58and that she'd come home in tears.
00:39:01I know you killed her.
00:39:05Mrs. Davy, I realise that you are distressed,
00:39:08and that you must also be overwrought,
00:39:10otherwise you would not make such a foolish allegation.
00:39:13It's not foolish, it's the truth.
00:39:16I know it.
00:39:18I know everything.
00:39:20I see.
00:39:23Then you must also know that your daughter was pregnant,
00:39:27that she came to me for help,
00:39:29and that she lived in mortal fear of your husband finding out.
00:39:33No.
00:39:35Oh, yes.
00:39:37Yes.
00:39:49I don't believe you.
00:39:51You won't be here.
00:39:52Mrs. Davy, I can assure you that I will be here,
00:39:55and we will discuss everything then.
00:39:58All right, then.
00:39:59Good.
00:40:01After mass on Sunday?
00:40:02Yes.
00:40:03Now would you care to leave?
00:40:07This way.
00:40:37Thank you.
00:41:08Your name Meldrum?
00:41:10Yes.
00:41:11I want a word with you.
00:41:13A church matter?
00:41:14Yeah, that's right, a church matter.
00:41:16Perhaps you could leave it till the morning.
00:41:18I said, I want no word with you.
00:41:21You're not very friendly, are you?
00:41:23If you wouldn't mind.
00:41:29I'm sorry.
00:41:31I'm sorry.
00:41:33I'm sorry.
00:41:36You know Jenny Welsh?
00:41:41I asked you a question.
00:41:43Yes, I know Jenny Welsh.
00:41:47She tells me you've been upsetting her.
00:41:50Whatever passes between me and my parishioners is our business.
00:41:54It's my business as well, mate.
00:41:56Jenny happens to be a very good friend of mine.
00:41:58We live together.
00:42:00They have no secrets.
00:42:02She told me about your tape recorder.
00:42:04Did you say you lived with Miss Welsh?
00:42:07Yeah, that's right.
00:42:09Last two years.
00:42:12Are you shocked, are you?
00:42:14The man who deserted her?
00:42:16The man who forced her to abort your child?
00:42:18You're changing the subject.
00:42:20I won't do it.
00:42:22I'm here to nail you, mate.
00:42:24And I ain't leaving without that tape.
00:42:26I'm here to nail you, mate.
00:42:28And I ain't leaving without that tape.
00:42:42Meldrum?
00:42:45Meldrum!
00:42:56Meldrum!
00:43:12The game's over, Meldrum.
00:43:26Meldrum!
00:43:56Meldrum!
00:44:26Meldrum!
00:44:56Meldrum!
00:45:11Oh!
00:45:27This way.
00:45:39I don't think there is anything in what Jenny says to you.
00:45:42What about Meldrum?
00:45:44Well, nothing she says at the moment seems to make much sense, does it?
00:45:47No.
00:45:49She's getting all her troubles at once before.
00:45:52Well, it'll be weeks before she recovers from, you know, what happened in here.
00:45:55No, it isn't just that.
00:45:56It's her boyfriend mucking her around.
00:45:58He came back this afternoon.
00:45:59What?
00:46:01It was all tears and apologies, right?
00:46:03And now he's pissed off again.
00:46:04I mean, look at the time.
00:46:05She's sitting up there waiting for him.
00:46:06It's obvious he's not coming back.
00:46:08He's probably found some old slag in her pipe.
00:46:10Honestly, Bernard, I could be slaughtered.
00:46:12Bernard!
00:46:16Fraser?
00:46:19Mitchell?
00:46:21Barrett?
00:46:22You are my dear.
00:46:24Made with my own pure hands.
00:46:26Thank you.
00:46:28Bernard, I've been thinking.
00:46:29Hmm?
00:46:30If Terry doesn't come back tonight, we'll have to go and see Meldrum tomorrow.
00:46:35Well...
00:46:36We'll force him to give us the tape.
00:46:39Well, look, Jenny.
00:46:40There's no point in you going up there again.
00:46:42I'll mention it myself.
00:46:43It'll be all right.
00:46:44But he'll pretend he didn't do anything.
00:46:46No, leave it.
00:46:47I'll see to it.
00:46:49Well, when will you go?
00:46:51Tomorrow morning.
00:46:52First thing?
00:46:54Drink up.
00:46:58I think something's happened to Terry.
00:47:23I'd almost given you up, Father.
00:47:25Mrs. Meldrum's dinner has been ready for hours.
00:47:28Why were you playing that record?
00:47:30I don't understand you, Father.
00:47:32I heard you playing the gramophone when I came in.
00:47:35I wouldn't have the first idea how to operate it.
00:47:38I'm not imagining things, Miss Baberson.
00:47:46I'm sorry.
00:47:48Thank you.
00:47:55You should wipe your feet if you've been to the graveyard, Father.
00:48:00You've trailed mud into the house.
00:48:18I'm sorry.
00:48:48Good evening, Mother.
00:49:05Have you had a pleasant day?
00:49:07I'm late, I know.
00:49:10Forgive me.
00:49:13Why does she use this machine?
00:49:16Against my express instructions.
00:49:18Why does she do it?
00:49:20I don't understand.
00:49:23Do you, Mother?
00:49:25Do you know why she does it?
00:49:31Oh, Mother, I need your help so badly.
00:49:35Do you remember when I used to come to you with all my problems?
00:49:39Big or small, you always knew what to do.
00:49:43I wouldn't be a member of the church now if it hadn't been for you.
00:49:48You guided me away from temptation and into God's service.
00:49:54I'll always be grateful.
00:49:59But I need your help.
00:50:03But I need your help again, Mother.
00:50:06The old temptations.
00:50:08They've returned.
00:50:10They've been growing for some time.
00:50:17I don't understand it.
00:50:19I guide and advise young people all the time.
00:50:23Some of them attractive young girls.
00:50:27They come here.
00:50:29They still do.
00:50:31But I've never...
00:50:33I've never...
00:50:35Well, not really wanted to...
00:50:40I've never wanted anything more.
00:50:43Until now.
00:50:49She reminds me of her.
00:50:52The voice, the first time I heard it.
00:50:55The manner, everything.
00:50:59I want her.
00:51:01Is it wrong?
00:51:05Of course it's wrong.
00:51:07But I can't control it.
00:51:13I thought he was her lover.
00:51:15He used her despicably.
00:51:20But I punished the wrong man.
00:51:23I've atoned for that now, though.
00:51:25Oh, yes.
00:51:27The real culprit has been brought to book.
00:51:34Perhaps she'll come to me now.
00:51:37Now she's alone.
00:51:39Perhaps she'll need me.
00:51:45Perhaps she'll come to me.
00:51:49Perhaps she'll need me.
00:51:57How dare she meddle with this instrument?
00:52:00It's not hers. It's ours.
00:52:19This is our music.
00:52:21Isn't it, Mother?
00:52:34Mother is ready for bed, Miss Robinson.
00:52:36Thank you, Father.
00:52:41I'm going for a walk.
00:52:43To clear my head.
00:52:48Good night.
00:53:19He's gone out, I'm afraid.
00:53:21You're all alone again with me.
00:53:49Vanessa.
00:53:51Vanessa.
00:53:53Just lock the front door.
00:53:55Are you sure?
00:54:19Terry?
00:54:34Hello?
00:54:48Hello?
00:55:07Everything all right, Miss?
00:55:09I'm sorry. Yes, everything's all right.
00:55:12Thank you.
00:55:18Thank you.
00:55:44Father Meldrum, please.
00:55:48Come in.
00:55:55Yes?
00:55:57Come in.
00:56:18Yes, I realize that.
00:56:20I'm sorry. I'm finding this very embarrassing.
00:56:23As well you might.
00:56:25You came here with these absurd accusations.
00:56:27Her accusations.
00:56:29You evidently gave them credence.
00:56:31I wanted to please her.
00:56:33Exactly. She needs to be pacified.
00:56:36She is a disturbed girl.
00:56:38Who is still in what I believe is termed a state of shock.
00:56:42She came to me of her own volition and I tried to help her.
00:56:46What more is there to be said?
00:56:48Well, she said you recorded her confession and played it back.
00:56:55Yes.
00:57:16And this young man is responding well to my counsel.
00:57:20I'm most interested in the case of a young woman who came to see me this evening.
00:57:24Her name is Miss A.
00:57:26She was reluctant to talk and even went so far as to pretend that she had come to church for a reason other than to confess.
00:57:32It was some little time before she felt at ease with me.
00:57:35And it was only then that I realized how much she needed help.
00:57:39Her frustrations are partly sexual, I suppose.
00:57:42But I think they go deeper than that.
00:57:44I must discover why she depends so heavily on a man who clearly has little regard for her.
00:57:50At our next meeting, I shall suggest new companions, new interests.
00:57:54Cutler's Youth Club may well be a start.
00:57:59I record salient facts about the young people who come to me.
00:58:03It helps me study their cases.
00:58:05Miss Welsh learned of this and insisted on hearing what I had said about her.
00:58:10If I had known how she'd distort my intentions, I'd never have considered it.
00:58:15She needs help, that's true.
00:58:17As do the patients of St. Andrew's Hospital.
00:58:20I'm already late for my rounds.
00:58:29He's still very weak indeed.
00:58:31He'll only be able to stay a few moments.
00:58:33Can he talk?
00:58:34He hasn't said anything yet.
00:58:48Father! Father!
00:58:51Just a minute.
00:58:53Here.
00:58:55That bleeding lark, innit?
00:58:57What is it?
00:58:58Well, first it's on, then it's off, then it's on again.
00:59:01They want to make up their bleeding minds, don't they?
00:59:04Oh, the Robertson funeral.
00:59:06I'm afraid so.
00:59:07I'm afraid so.
00:59:08I'm afraid so.
00:59:09I'm afraid so.
00:59:10I'm afraid so.
00:59:11I'm afraid so.
00:59:12I'm afraid so.
00:59:13I'm afraid so.
00:59:14I'm afraid so.
00:59:15I'm afraid so.
00:59:16The Robertson funeral.
00:59:17Yes, it was cancelled.
00:59:18Father Meldrum probably filled in the grave.
00:59:20Probably wanted to save you the trouble.
00:59:22Cancelled?
00:59:23Yesterday.
00:59:24Well, who's in there, then?
00:59:26Nobody.
00:59:27It's empty.
00:59:28Come off it.
00:59:29What do you mean?
00:59:30Look at all this.
00:59:32You can't put in more earth than you take out, can you?
00:59:35No, Father.
00:59:36There's a mound.
00:59:37And if there's a mound, there's got to be something inside, hasn't there?
00:59:47Mother.
00:59:49What is it?
00:59:56I don't understand.
01:00:02Tell me.
01:00:11I know, I know.
01:00:13I love you too.
01:00:15Poor Bobby.
01:00:27I did it for you.
01:00:29Do I repel you?
01:00:32You mustn't shy away from me.
01:00:34Not after what I've done for you.
01:00:38I was right to punish this man.
01:00:40I was right to punish this man.
01:00:42To destroy the face that charmed and lured you.
01:00:45Don't waste your pity on a common wasteful.
01:00:47Let him languish and repent his sins.
01:00:51You were meant for something better.
01:00:53Help me!
01:00:54Help me!
01:00:55Somebody!
01:00:57Help me!
01:00:59You'll find no ally here.
01:01:01Or anywhere.
01:01:02In time, you will come to realize that.
01:01:06Help me!
01:01:10Get the police, for God's sake, get the police!
01:01:12No, it's all right, just calm yourself.
01:01:14You don't understand!
01:01:15You don't understand!
01:01:17Get the police, for God's sake, get the police!
01:01:29It's just a little thing she tried to kill Bob at that station, don't you see?
01:01:33Yes, ma'am.
01:01:34Come on, Miss Rogers, please.
01:01:36Please!
01:01:39Please!
01:01:46How is he?
01:01:52Get Dr. Baxter.
01:01:53Thank you.
01:02:04Oh, what have you given me?
01:02:06Just a sedative.
01:02:07My head feels funny.
01:02:09It will do, don't worry.
01:02:11I'll just finish this and I'm going to see you home.
01:02:14The priest...
01:02:15He's gone.
01:02:17Gone?
01:02:19I don't know why you took such a dislike to him.
01:02:21He's very concerned about you.
01:02:25He told us what you've been through.
01:02:27Don't feel embarrassed.
01:02:44Closing for lunch?
01:02:45Oh, so cold.
01:02:46I've got about 50 crates to unpack before 2 o'clock.
01:02:49I'll help.
01:02:50I knew you'd say that.
01:02:53Shit!
01:02:54I beg your pardon.
01:02:55It's not that funny, look.
01:02:57Oh.
01:03:06I thought you were joking when you said 50.
01:03:08Here, this is the last one.
01:03:11There you go.
01:03:14Oh, that's nice.
01:03:16There should be a very lovely...
01:03:20Ah, here it is.
01:03:46Could you stop just here, please?
01:03:54No, thank you.
01:03:55I'd rather walk the rest of the way.
01:03:57I need the fresh air.
01:03:59Okay.
01:04:00Thank you very much.
01:04:01We're neighbours.
01:04:03I live just over there.
01:04:05If you have any more problems, you can give me a ring.
01:04:08Or you can always get me at the hospital.
01:04:11I'm sorry.
01:04:12Or you can always get me at the hospital.
01:04:16Thank you.
01:04:38Swell, she did.
01:04:40Yes?
01:04:41I thought so.
01:04:43I've been following you, you see.
01:04:45Didn't want to speak until I was sure of everything.
01:04:47I'm sorry.
01:04:48You want to know who I am and everything.
01:04:51You don't owe me.
01:04:53Well, we've got the same interests, you might say.
01:04:56What?
01:04:58Father Meldrum.
01:05:00What about him?
01:05:02I had a daughter.
01:05:04A bit younger than you, she was.
01:05:07And he killed her.
01:05:09They said it was suicide.
01:05:11But he killed her just as sure as if he'd pushed her out of that window himself.
01:05:15My husband says I'm mad saying things like that.
01:05:18You'd better come with me.
01:05:20What for?
01:05:21We're going to the police.
01:05:23You think I haven't been?
01:05:25It's no good.
01:05:27They won't listen.
01:05:29He's a priest, you see.
01:05:31He's been too clever.
01:05:33I'm the clever one now.
01:05:36I've seen the body.
01:05:38The body?
01:05:40Where?
01:05:42I can't go now, but...
01:05:44Can you come to church?
01:05:46After mass on Sunday?
01:05:48I'm seeing him then.
01:05:50Yes.
01:05:51I'll show you.
01:05:53I've got an idea.
01:05:55Sunday?
01:06:01It was Father Meldrum who alerted us.
01:06:03And of course we're very glad he did.
01:06:05I'm pretty sure we can put the delusions down to strain.
01:06:08And I see no reason why these shouldn't pass within, well, a couple of weeks at the most.
01:06:12But, in the meantime, your sister will have to be cared for very carefully indeed.
01:06:16Yes. Thank you, Doctor.
01:06:18Goodbye, Miss Russell.
01:06:19Goodbye.
01:06:25Did you get all that?
01:06:28Most of it.
01:06:30But you're sorry you moved in with us now, aren't you?
01:06:32Yes.
01:06:36Careful.
01:06:37I'm sorry.
01:06:39Here she is, talk of the devil.
01:06:41Hi, Jenny.
01:06:43We've been plotting things in your absence. I hope you don't mind.
01:06:46We were wondering if you'd like a holiday.
01:06:49We haven't had one for a couple of years, have you?
01:06:51You could go down to the country.
01:06:53Go to Somerset, see Mum.
01:06:55Well, I mean, you can go anywhere else you like, but...
01:06:57there would be a few conditions.
01:06:59Did you see Father Meldrum?
01:07:00And one of them is that this subject of Father Meldrum is dropped.
01:07:04Did you?
01:07:05Yes, Jenny, I did.
01:07:07Well, did you get the tape?
01:07:09No.
01:07:11Why?
01:07:12There was nothing on that tape, Jenny. It was just his personal memo.
01:07:15I knew it!
01:07:16Now, listen.
01:07:17I knew that he would...
01:07:18Guess what happened?
01:07:19And stop patronising me!
01:07:22Would you like to go to the country?
01:07:24In a sanatorium, I suppose?
01:07:26Now, don't be silly.
01:07:28All right, Vanessa.
01:07:30I won't be silly.
01:07:32I won't mention Father Meldrum again because I... I don't have to.
01:07:37Because I've found someone who does believe me.
01:07:40And just wait and let's see what happens when Robert gets better, shall we?
01:07:44Because that'll put a different complexion on things.
01:07:47Listen, Jenny...
01:07:48No, Vanessa.
01:07:49Look, we've got to tell her.
01:07:52What is it?
01:07:54What's the matter?
01:07:58Robert's dead.
01:08:02He's not.
01:08:04No, he's not.
01:08:05Robert's not dead.
01:08:07No.
01:08:09No, he's not dead.
01:08:11No, leave me.
01:08:12Jenny...
01:08:13No, he's not dead.
01:08:17He came here to murder Robert.
01:08:19I saw him.
01:08:20He was in this room.
01:08:21I saw his cross in the tub.
01:08:23I want to be in the tub.
01:08:27You missed it.
01:08:28You told me, Vanessa.
01:08:29Why won't you tell?
01:08:31Just try and rest.
01:08:33Why won't you believe me?
01:08:37Why won't you believe me?
01:09:08Why won't you believe me?
01:09:25None of us is without sin.
01:09:27Be sure of that.
01:09:29And if you have looked into yourself and found none,
01:09:33look further.
01:09:35Look to your children.
01:09:37Are they pure?
01:09:39Are they blameless?
01:09:41If they are not, it is you who are to blame.
01:09:44You taught them what they know.
01:09:47Why do you throw up your arms when your children lie and steal,
01:09:52become sexually adventurous,
01:09:54and bring unwanted babies into the world?
01:09:58It is the parent who is responsible for his child's misbehavior.
01:10:02Now,
01:10:05what a new wealth of meaning, therefore, is expressed in our Lord's pertinent question.
01:10:11Why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
01:10:16but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
01:10:33I think you've looked out of that window long enough.
01:10:37People will begin to think that we're harboring a geriatric spy.
01:10:41Mother!
01:10:43You don't expect a hot breakfast every morning, do you?
01:10:47Yesterday was an exception, I can assure you.
01:10:51Your son was hanging around the kitchen.
01:10:53I had to put on some kind of performance.
01:10:57Now, come on.
01:10:59If you don't drink this properly, you'll get nothing else for the rest of the day.
01:11:04I mean it.
01:11:09All right, Mrs. Mildred.
01:11:11Two can play at that game.
01:11:12You don't cooperate with me, I don't cooperate with you.
01:11:28Oh.
01:11:58Come on.
01:12:28Amen.
01:12:33Corpus Domini Nostra Iesu Christi Custodiat Animam Tuam In Vita Maternum. Amen.
01:12:39Corpus Domini Nostra Iesu Christi Custodiat Animam Tuam In Vita Maternum. Amen.
01:12:43Amen.
01:12:54Corpus Domini Nostra Iesu Christi Custodiat Animam Tuam In Vita Maternum. Amen.
01:13:00Corpus Domini Nostra Iesu Christi Custodiat Animam Tuam In Vita Maternum. Amen.
01:13:07Corpus Domini Nostra Iesu Christi Custodiat Animam Tuam In Vita Maternum.
01:13:13Amen.
01:13:43Oh.
01:13:59Was there any history of heart trouble?
01:14:02I wouldn't know.
01:14:03I'll have a word with her husband then.
01:14:05Where is he?
01:14:06Outside.
01:14:07Yes.
01:14:08Yes.
01:14:12Was it a heart attack?
01:14:13Yes.
01:14:14Out like a light.
01:14:38Easy, fellas.
01:14:39Oh, no.
01:14:40Jenny?
01:14:41They're a woman.
01:14:42She must be in bed, Jenny.
01:14:43What happened?
01:14:44No, no, no.
01:14:45You must tell me.
01:14:46I'm alone.
01:14:47You must tell me.
01:14:48Would you get this for her as soon as possible?
01:14:49Good.
01:14:50Good.
01:14:51Good.
01:14:52Good.
01:14:53Good.
01:14:54Good.
01:14:55Good.
01:14:56Good.
01:14:57Good.
01:14:58Good.
01:14:59Good.
01:15:00Good.
01:15:01Good.
01:15:02Good.
01:15:03Good.
01:15:04Good.
01:15:05Good.
01:15:06Good.
01:15:07Would you get this for her as soon as possible?
01:15:08Of course.
01:15:09And see she doesn't get out of bed?
01:15:10Not that it's likely.
01:15:11I sedated her very heavily.
01:15:14I'm sorry I've got to rush.
01:15:17I should have been to the hospital five minutes ago.
01:15:19Well, thank you very much for coming so quickly, Doctor.
01:15:21Not at all.
01:15:22It's a most unusual case.
01:15:23Sometimes you feel almost inclined to believe her, don't you?
01:15:27You have to keep reminding yourself that all of her ideas about Father Meldrum
01:15:30and some kind of avenging angel are quite fantastic.
01:15:33But why should she pick a Roman Catholic priest of all people?
01:15:37It's difficult to say.
01:15:39She obviously feels responsible for Robert's death and her boyfriend walking out on her.
01:15:43So perhaps when she went to Meldrum for help, when she didn't get it,
01:15:46she transferred the guilt she felt onto him.
01:15:49I see.
01:15:50I'm sorry, I must go.
01:15:52Um, I'll look in on you tomorrow.
01:15:55Why did she think she knew that woman this morning?
01:15:58Perhaps she did.
01:16:00You remember, she...
01:16:01She said she'd found someone who believed her.
01:16:05Well, we'll never know now.
01:16:06I'll go and get this medicine.
01:16:09Vanessa.
01:16:11I've made my decision.
01:16:14I'll do it tonight.
01:16:18I'll do it.
01:16:20I'll do it.
01:16:22I'll do it tonight.
01:16:43Is something the matter, Miss Robinson?
01:16:46Oh, God.
01:16:48If you feel incapable of carrying out your duties, you must tell me.
01:16:51I want someone who can cope, not hinder.
01:16:54I have enough to do as it is.
01:16:56A church to run, pupils to see.
01:16:58I've been neglecting them.
01:17:00Her jaws can't take this food, Father.
01:17:03I've told you before, there's no point in bringing her down here every Sunday.
01:17:07If you cannot look after my mother in the manner to which she is accustomed, Miss Robinson,
01:17:11I shall have to find someone who can.
01:17:16Come.
01:17:31No one is indispensable, are they, madame?
01:17:41Or are they?
01:17:42Are they?
01:17:44Is she indispensable?
01:17:47The girl?
01:17:49Perhaps I should find out.
01:17:52Yes.
01:17:54I shall find out.
01:18:12I shall find out.
01:18:42Thank you.
01:19:137-4-4-0.
01:19:14Miss Welch?
01:19:16Speaking.
01:19:18This is Father Meldrum.
01:19:20I want to remind you of your obligations to me.
01:19:23I call them obligations, you see, because you have no alternative but to honour them.
01:19:27Embarrassed about discussing sexual matters with me?
01:19:30I'm not embarrassed.
01:19:32Then tell me everything.
01:19:34I have an abortion.
01:19:36I have an abortion.
01:19:38I have an abortion.
01:19:40I have an abortion.
01:19:42Are you going to come and see me, Jenny?
01:19:45Or am I going to have to play this tape to somebody else?
01:19:52Jenny?
01:19:56I don't know how to say this.
01:19:58We've got to talk.
01:20:00Now.
01:20:03I can't see the reason for your concern, Bernie.
01:20:06You've made a decision and you've made the right one.
01:20:09Ironically enough, you're just the man the church needs.
01:20:13Do you mean that?
01:20:15Bernard.
01:20:16I've never been able to understand why the Catholic Church looks upon itself as a kind of prison.
01:20:22With those in its service doing life sentences.
01:20:26Just because a man can't live by its code, doesn't mean to say that he can't further the religion in another occupation.
01:20:35Some would call it cowardice.
01:20:38They might at that.
01:20:39I call it honesty.
01:20:42If you stayed on, you'd be a hypocrite.
01:20:44And we've enough of those as it is.
01:20:46I'm glad I came to see you, Father.
01:20:48Now, I hope you didn't come just so I could solve your conscience.
01:20:51Oh, no.
01:20:52No, you'll have no need to have one anyway.
01:20:55Have you written your resignation?
01:20:58Well, I thought I might do it tonight.
01:21:00At the church.
01:21:02Should I do it, Father? Should I?
01:21:04Yes.
01:21:05Act now, Bernard.
01:21:07Maybe next year or the year after, who knows?
01:21:10Our church could become enlightened.
01:21:13Then, we may see you again.
01:21:16Thank you, Father.
01:21:18God bless you.
01:21:23We ain't here, baby. We're here about an hour.
01:21:25Oh.
01:21:27I can't wait that long.
01:21:28Um.
01:21:29Look, when you see Father Cutler, would you tell him that Vanessa called?
01:21:33Yes.
01:21:34Yes.
01:21:35And that she's gone to the presbytery to get the tape.
01:21:39The tape, yes.
01:21:40No, but he'll understand.
01:21:43Thank you.
01:21:44Oh.
01:22:03Is there anything I can do, Father?
01:22:10I'm expecting someone.
01:22:11If she should call, tell her to wait.
01:22:15It's going to rain, Father. You'll need an umbrella.
01:22:19Rain, yes.
01:22:21Cleansing rain.
01:22:44Rain.
01:23:14Rain.
01:23:44Rain.
01:23:54Rain.
01:24:02Rain.
01:24:14Rain.
01:24:44Rain.
01:25:15Rain.
01:25:20You look like you've got purpose, don't you?
01:25:22You're a bad temper, don't you, lady?
01:25:24I have a good mind to leave you up here to fend for yourself.
01:25:27You're obviously not as helpful as you make out.
01:25:45Rain.
01:25:47Rain.
01:25:49Rain.
01:26:14Rain.
01:26:44Rain.
01:26:45Rain.
01:26:47Rain.
01:26:49Rain.
01:26:51Rain.
01:26:52Rain.
01:26:54Rain.
01:26:55Rain.
01:27:03Which is it?
01:27:08Randee?
01:27:14What are you doing in my house?
01:27:44Give it to me!
01:28:12Please, please let me go.
01:28:38Please, I haven't done anything.
01:28:45Bernard knows I'm here, he's going to be coming in a minute.
01:29:02No!
01:29:03No!
01:29:04Father, forgive me.
01:29:05No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:29:12no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:29:21no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:29:31no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:29:47Judas!
01:29:59I don't think Mrs. Meldrum will survive a shock like this, Father, do you?
01:30:05She's growing very weak. I think you ought to administer the last rites.
01:30:30BELL RINGS
01:30:46They're going to absolve her, and there'll be part of that fluid split asante on her.

01:31:10Corpus Domini, lost for years of Christian.
01:31:14Custodiat animam tua in vita materna.
01:31:20Amen.
01:31:25The oil, if you please.
01:31:29Amen.
01:31:35Through His holy might and His great love for you,
01:31:39may the Lord bring you to the power of His Holy Spirit.
01:31:42Amen.
01:31:45In His goodness, may He ease your suffering and extend His saving grace to you.
01:31:52Freed from all the power of sin.
01:31:55Amen.
01:31:59DOG BARKS
01:32:16I'm afraid.
01:32:24Aren't you?
01:32:27No.
01:32:29THUNDER RUMBLES
01:32:33SHE SOBS
01:32:55I don't want to be alone.
01:32:58I don't want to be alone.
01:33:00You're not.
01:33:02You're not alone, Saviour.
01:33:05I'm here. I've always been here.
01:33:10Why?
01:33:12Why have you stayed?
01:33:15I jilted you 30 years ago.
01:33:20Why did you stay?
01:33:22You know the answer to that.
01:33:25No, not after all this time.
01:33:28Love, Saviour.
01:33:30Love and understanding.
01:33:34I have things to do. My sermon for tomorrow.
01:33:37You didn't leave me, Saviour.
01:33:40You were afraid.
01:33:42You went to your mother for help and she engineered you into the church.
01:33:46I mean, that's what happened.
01:33:48She was to blame. She was afraid of losing you.
01:33:51No.
01:33:52But I understand.
01:33:54I know why people want to escape from the world.
01:33:59Look at me.
01:34:00THUNDER RUMBLES
01:34:04I was the girl they all stared at.
01:34:07The one with the funny eye.
01:34:09What a shame. Poor girl. She had an operation that went wrong.
01:34:12No, you mustn't do this. I won't allow it.
01:34:14I'm doing it for you, Saviour.
01:34:16I want you to know that you're not alone.
01:34:19I've always been here.
01:34:20I followed you into the church because I was happy to share your house,
01:34:23even though I couldn't share your bed.
01:34:26But I've understood the self-doubt.
01:34:29The grief.
01:34:30The longings.
01:34:32Face the fact, Saviour.
01:34:34Face up to reality.
01:34:36I have.
01:34:41I know why I fell in love with Ginny Welsh.
01:34:44I've known all along.
01:34:45She looks like you 30 years ago.
01:34:51I wanted you then.
01:34:56But Mother said no.
01:34:59Mother knew best.
01:35:02I had no choice.
01:35:05It's...
01:35:06It's not too late.
01:35:09Not too late for you.
01:35:11It's not too late.
01:35:14Not too late? We've wasted our lives.
01:35:16Not wasted, Saviour. Not all of it.
01:35:20Can't you remember when we were together in the country in the summer,
01:35:24listening to our music?
01:35:27A music I still can't live without.
01:35:31It can be like that again.
01:35:33No.
01:35:35Not now.
01:35:36There's one way, Saviour.
01:35:39One way we can be together again for always.
01:35:46Wait for me.
01:36:08Wait for me.
01:36:38Wait for me.
01:37:08No.
01:37:16Vanessa.
01:37:33Why did you do it?
01:37:36In the name of God.
01:37:40Meldrum!
01:37:44Meldrum!
01:38:06Meldrum!
01:38:1630 years.
01:38:19She loved me for 30 years.
01:38:22And I never knew.
01:38:26Never knew what she was prepared to do for me.
01:38:31This is surely a dream, Cutter.
01:38:33We're dreaming, aren't we, you and I?
01:38:37You've been upstairs.
01:38:40How? And why?
01:38:44Her mind snapped.
01:38:47When? I don't know.
01:38:49A week ago, a year ago.
01:38:5230 years ago.
01:38:56She wanted me for herself.
01:38:58I'd said she was becoming jealous of anyone who depended on me.
01:39:02But this.
01:39:05She's murdered my mother, Cutler.
01:39:09And there's another woman up there. I've never seen her before.
01:39:15Vanessa.
01:39:17Vanessa.
01:39:18Vanessa Welch.
01:39:22She was coming to see me tonight.
01:39:24She telephoned.
01:39:25She was worried about her sister.
01:39:28Oh, the poor girl.
01:39:32How did she...
01:39:35I came in here to telephone the police, and I found her like that.
01:39:41Why did she never confess to me?
01:39:44Why did she suffer alone?
01:39:48At the church, there's another body.
01:39:52At the church, there's another body.
01:39:55Oh, dear God, no.
01:39:58In the graveyard.
01:39:59A young man, middle twenties.
01:40:03Blonde.
01:40:05Wyatt.
01:40:06Terry Wyatt.
01:40:08Oh, why him?
01:40:11A hot-blooded young man. He challenged me on my handling of his fiancée.
01:40:15Jenny Welch.
01:40:17I explained in the best possible way.
01:40:20She must have overheard.
01:40:22Thought she was protecting me.
01:40:27What have you done with him?
01:40:29He was in the grave.
01:40:31I covered him up.
01:40:34Covered him up.
01:40:37Yes, that is what we must both do.
01:40:40This tragic woman's actions must not reflect through us to the church.
01:40:44We must cover up our involvement for the minimum of scandal.
01:40:48I am already involved.
01:40:50But there's no need for you...
01:40:51I was going to resign from the church tonight.
01:40:54To be with Vanessa.
01:40:56She was all I wanted.
01:40:59I was...
01:41:01I was going to ask her to marry me.
01:41:05I see.
01:41:11But then, if she was all you wanted,
01:41:15there's no longer reason for you to leave the church.
01:41:22Yes, this hurts, I know.
01:41:24But I must show you the reality you are too distraught to recognize.
01:41:29Have you seen the bishop?
01:41:46Now it is as if you had never been here.
01:41:49The Lord will forgive us for preserving the honor of his church.
01:41:54Go.
01:41:55Time will heal, I promise you.
01:41:58But I...
01:41:59I shall telephone the police and tell them what I found when I arrived home.
01:42:03I shall not involve you, or the good name of Miss Welsh.
01:42:07But I...
01:42:08But I...
01:42:09But I...
