Forgive Me Season 1 Episode 10 - Lead Us Not Into Temptation
Transcript
00:01Previously on Forgive Me.
00:02If I tell my daughter, what if she can't handle it?
00:05You wouldn't miss the birth of a child.
00:08Nobody should miss the death of a parent.
00:30You got a call to go do last rites.
00:53I did.
00:54They were hoping you could do it this morning.
00:57Well, I've never done last rites before. Shouldn't Father Phil do it?
01:01They asked for you.
01:06I could ask Father Phil to go with you.
01:09That's okay.
01:12Well, don't be nervous.
01:17You think maybe you just run it with me? You know, like practice?
01:22Sure.
01:25Gene, lie back. Close your eyes, put your book down.
01:31You're dead.
01:34The anointing of the sick.
01:38Oh, come on.
01:52This is Jimmy.
01:53James.
01:54Hi.
01:55I can see who you are.
01:56Look, my mother wasn't religious.
01:58Your mother is religious.
01:59Well, I've never known her to set foot inside a church my entire life.
02:03Didn't just show up unexpected.
02:05Jimmy, she asked.
02:07I get it.
02:08But I do think that your mom's last wishes deserve to be respected.
02:12Where'd you meet her anyway? In the hospital?
02:14Why are you being such an ass?
02:15Because I knew my mother.
02:16She ain't dead yet.
02:17Isn't.
02:18Guys, I think we all just know different sides are okay, that's all.
02:21Well, what next?
02:22Are our five husbands going to show up and find out about each other?
02:25Oh my god.
02:26Oh my god.
02:54Mom.
02:55Mommy.
02:56Hmm?
02:57The priest is here.
02:58Hmm.
02:59Hi.
03:00Thank you for coming.
03:01It meant a lot to me that you asked.
03:02Hmm.
03:03Um.
03:04That's what I asked for.
03:05I did my best.
03:07I, uh, I brought the good stuff.
03:21You, uh, you need to step out.
03:30Oh?
03:31For your mother's confession.
03:34Oh.
03:35Oh.
03:45This is usually the dining room.
03:48Oh.
03:49Oh.
03:50I didn't want you to think that I kept my plates in my bedroom.
03:59You called your daughter.
04:02I took your advice.
04:03She seems lovely.
04:04She's fine, you know?
04:05She does, doesn't she?
04:09You were so worried.
04:10I never would have called her.
04:11If not for you, I'm so grateful.
04:12I would have missed seeing her this way.
04:13She was so different before.
04:15She was so different.
04:16I'm relieved.
04:17Yeah.
04:18That's why they pay me the big bucks.
04:27Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
04:28Mm-hm.
04:30Who'd be a little father?
04:32And I'm so grateful and, uh, if not for you, I'm so grateful.
04:35I would have missed seeing her this way.
04:37She was so different before.
04:42No frock.
04:52Well, this is a road show.
04:55The frock's the home field uniform.
05:00I doted my daughter.
05:03Yeah.
05:05But you trusted her in the end, so...
05:08knocks that one off.
05:09I never tried hard enough.
05:12With her.
05:14The boys were easy to figure out.
05:17She was opaque to me.
05:22Her father was never there for her.
05:26If I had tried harder...
05:29No.
05:30She wouldn't have lost her way.
05:33You did your best.
05:36It's not a sin, it's just mother's guilt.
05:39Bookie?
05:46Bookie.
05:48Hmm?
05:49Do you have anything else you want to confess?
05:52Oh.
05:54I, um...
05:55stayed away from the church...
05:58for so many years.
05:59Okay.
06:05I guess that about covers it.
06:08Hmm.
06:08God, the Father of mercies,
06:12through the death and the resurrection of His Son,
06:14has reconciled the world to Himself
06:16and sent the Holy Spirit among us
06:17for the remission of sins.
06:19Through the ministry of the church,
06:21may the Lord grant you pardon and peace,
06:24and I absolve you of your sins
06:25in the name of the Father,
06:27and of the Son,
06:28and of the Holy Spirit.
06:29Amen.
06:30I believe in God,
06:35the Father Almighty,
06:51creator of heaven and earth.
06:52And in Jesus Christ,
06:54His only Son,
06:56our Lord,
06:59who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
07:03born of the Virgin Mary,
07:05suffered under Pontius Pilate,
07:08was crucified,
07:11died,
07:11and was buried.
07:13He descended into hell.
07:15The third day He arose again from the dead.
07:22He ascended into heaven.
07:26He sitteth on the right hand of God,
07:29the Father Almighty.
07:33From whence He will come to judge the quick and the dead.
07:38I believe in the Holy Spirit,
07:42in the Holy Catholic Church,
07:47in the communion of saints,
07:51the forgiveness of sins,
07:53the resurrection of the body,
07:57and the life everlasting.
08:01Amen.
08:03Our Father,
08:04who art in heaven,
08:05hallowed be thy name.
08:06Be thy name.
08:07Thy kingdom come,
08:08thy will be done on earth,
08:10as it is in heaven.
08:11Yes.
08:12Give us this day our daily bread,
08:14and forgive us our trespasses,
08:16as we forgive those who trespass against us.
08:19And lead us not into temptation,
08:22but deliver us from evil.
08:24Amen.
08:26Amen.
08:26This is the Lamb of God,
08:41who takes away the sins of the world.
08:43Happy are those that are called to His supper.
08:45Lord, I am not worthy to receive you,
08:49but only say the word,
08:52and I shall be healed.
08:53The body of Christ.
08:54Amen.
09:11The blood of Christ.
09:13Good.
09:32Good.
09:35Good.
09:35Good.
09:35Good.
09:37May the Lord Jesus Christ protect you and lead you to eternal life.

10:36of his mercy, may God forgive you of whatever sins thou hast committed through evil use
10:42of sight.

11:29Through this holy unction and through the glory of his grace,
11:33may God forgive whatever sins thou hast committed
11:35through evil use of your ability to walk.
11:56It's okay.
11:58It's okay, I'm here.
11:59Hey.
12:03Hi.
12:05Hi.
12:06I don't know.
12:36I don't know.
13:06I don't know.
13:36I don't know.
14:06I don't know.
14:36I don't know.
15:06I don't know.
15:36I don't know.
16:06I don't know.
16:07I don't know.
16:08I don't know.
16:12I don't know.
16:13I don't know.
16:14I don't know.
16:15I don't know.
16:16I don't know.
16:17I don't know.
16:18I don't know.
16:19I don't know.
16:20I don't know.
16:22I don't know.
16:24I don't know.
16:25I don't know.
16:26I don't know.
16:27I guess that's what they'll call her in heaven.
16:35I, um, I can help arrange the funeral.
16:40There's a family plot up in Antigonish.
16:42She wanted to use the funeral home up there.
16:44I can call about the mass.
16:46She didn't want a mass.
16:51Look, father, you should be happy.
16:55As near as I can tell, hell froze over.
16:56Between the two of you as well.
16:59Something changed in her.
17:02I guess when you know you're gonna die.
17:07I think that she always kept her faith.
17:09She always knew she'd come back.
17:11Could have fooled me.
17:13Well, she spent most of her life alienated.
17:16Mm-hmm. From both of us.
17:20She talked about me, didn't she? To you.
17:24Everything your mother told me is confidential.
17:25Yeah.
17:27It's like the cone of silence in here.
17:30She told me a little bit about you.
17:33Oh.
17:35Your mother didn't really know anything about me.
17:38She liked you.
17:42Oh.
17:43Those two things go hand in hand.
17:45To not know me is to love me.
17:48Well, she didn't know that much about me either,
17:49so I guess we have that in common, too.
17:50You know, she knew the church well.
17:54I mean, she might have known it better than I do.
17:57I knew she was raised in it, but...
18:00She didn't tell Jimmy.
18:02She told me,
18:03mothers tell daughters.
18:06What'd you want to tell me?
18:07I stole all her money.
18:13And her house.
18:20What?
18:22I had her sign it all over to me
18:23when she was really medicated.
18:25You stole it.
18:31You know, I don't think I understand.
18:32Look, I'm telling you, Father,
18:33I stole everything my mother had.
18:36I got everything.
18:38So I wanted to thank you.
18:40Well, if it wasn't for you,
18:41I wouldn't even know she was dead.
18:45Not for a while.
18:46Probably would have missed the funeral
18:47by the time they found me.
18:48Time out here.
18:49I think I'm a bit confused.
18:50I changed the will
18:52and I had her sign it over to me
18:55when she was in a lot of pain.
18:58Doped up.
19:00I didn't dope her up.
19:01But, well, she had to sign it sometime.
19:05Why?
19:05Why did she have to?
19:07Because it was at a date.
19:10It didn't reflect the way things are now.
19:14It wasn't fair to me.
19:17I was just going to make it all equal at first.
19:18She was leaving Jimmy the house
19:21and Donnie the equivalent amount of money
19:23and RSPs and stuff.
19:25And me, she was leaving $14,000
19:27with restrictions and caveats.
19:31Like I had to go to rehab and get a letter.
19:33Well, that doesn't necessarily sound out of date.
19:37I've been to rehab, Father.
19:40I'm not going back to get a letter
19:41because my mother was paranoid.
19:43Your mother wasn't paranoid.
19:46When I got to thinking about it,
19:48I got so mad.
19:51All those years,
19:52my brothers had 15 years with her.
19:56Her time and her money and her help.
19:59And I got nothing.
20:02Silence.
20:04She just...
20:05She didn't want to enable you.
20:08Oh, yeah, she told me that.
20:09Imagine.
20:13As if the whole point of being a parent
20:14isn't to enable your child.
20:17She enabled Jimmy to go to grad school.
20:19She enabled Donnie to start and fail three businesses,
20:22but she didn't want to enable me.
20:25Fathers and daughters.
20:26To buy drugs.
20:27Well, I wasn't going to buy a master's degree
20:31worth of drugs, was I?
20:34I don't know.
20:38I mean, what I do know is that
20:40you feel guilty
20:41about something that you did in anger,
20:43so you've come here to get me what?
20:45To tell you what you already know?
20:47Go and undo it.
20:49No.
20:51I came here to confess.
20:54Mommy told me how good it felt
20:55to confess to you
20:56that...
20:57a peace, she said.
20:59A weight lifted.
21:01I don't want to undo the will.
21:03I want peace.
21:06Well, you're not going to find it here.
21:08You're not going to find it anywhere.
21:11Because you can't steal everything
21:13from your mother
21:14and from your brothers.
21:17And not expect to feel wracked with guilt about it
21:19until you make it right.
21:21You're not listening, Father.
21:24Changing the will did make it right.
21:27When I think about all the things
21:29my brothers got that I didn't,
21:31I was there for her when she needed me.
21:34That's a courtesy that's never been afforded me.
21:37No one has ever been there for me.
21:40She gave you money.
21:41Oh, a couple of hundred bucks here,
21:43a grand there.
21:45Not like my brothers.
21:48Well, maybe...
21:50Maybe if you sat down with your brothers.
21:54Right?
21:54Explain to them that that will was made
21:56while you were going through some problems
21:57that those problems are all behind you now.
21:59Then maybe they'd agree to an equal split.
22:01You don't know my brothers.
22:04How well do you know them 15 years later?
22:06Well, Jimmy...
22:06James...
22:09didn't want me to come home.
22:11Didn't want me to see my own mother
22:12before she died.
22:15Well,
22:16maybe he was afraid you'd steal everything.
22:20Yeah, maybe.
22:20Well, this isn't the warm fuzzy
22:27that my mother made me think.
22:31Still, I wanted to tell somebody.
22:34I'm gonna have to do a lot of lying
22:35in the next little while.
22:37Why?
22:37Tell me.
22:40To be forgiven,
22:41I thought.
22:42You don't seem very forgiving.
22:49And because you can't tell anyone.
23:00Who's, uh...
23:01Who's older?
23:03Is it you, Jimmy,
23:04or is it Dawn?
23:06Jimmy's the oldest.
23:08So he's the one that was baptized.
23:10Was he?
23:11Yeah.
23:13You weren't.
23:16I didn't think any of us were.
23:18So you're not Catholic.
23:20Not in any way.
23:26If you're not Catholic,
23:27then you don't get to receive
23:29a Catholic sacrament.
23:31This, it's not a confession.
23:33So you
23:34don't get absolution.
23:37You don't get forgiveness.
23:38And you don't get my confidence.
23:43So what I want you to do
23:44is I want you to go home.
23:47Go home.
23:48And tell Jimmy what you did.
23:50And then you tell the executor
23:52that that will is a fraud.
23:54You understand?
23:55And you do it
23:56today
23:57because things will be better for you
23:58if they hear it straight from you
24:00than when they hear it from me
24:01when I call them tomorrow.
24:02No, I'm sorry.
24:03No, I don't want to hear
24:05another word out of your mouth.
24:06You just get your ass
24:07out of my booth.
24:12Fuck you, father.
24:33Next time on Forgive Me.
24:53I'm sick, Grant.
24:54What's wrong with you?
24:56Go!
24:57You are breaking the seal
24:59of the sacrament
25:00right now.
