00:00You
00:23What is she doing with that crucifix
00:30Why sisters mother superior we were neglecting your duties while indulging in a little filth
00:39What do you have to say for yourselves?
00:42It's kind of catchy
00:45We're sorry mother Constance our curiosity got the better of us. Is it true?
00:50Did she really make an offer to buy the convent?
00:55Sister Frances you've been gossiping again
01:00Oh, I may as well tell you
01:03It's true
01:05Aliyah Jade has made a sizable offer to the archdiocese
01:10But have faith sisters. I will never allow our home to be sold
01:16Especially to this Jezebel
01:19You'll need to be out by the end of the month
01:21I'm mother superior of the convent. My approval is needed for any sale
01:27Your disapproval was taken into consideration and disregarded
01:37Constance
01:39The convent's numbers are dwindling and the building is in desperate need of repairs
01:44The roof leaks the bell tower is a death trap and
01:48Don't get me started on the plumbing situation
01:50What am I supposed to tell the sisters?
01:52What am I supposed to tell the sisters?
01:54The convent pays for sister Ruth Simpson and then sister Margaret Mary
01:58She's 92 and she's blind and they're gonna be kicked out of the only home they've ever known
02:06It's like a death sentence
02:09The convent's over 200 years old and this is how it's going to end?
02:14At the hands of the harlot who fell off the stage drunk at last year's fan fave awards?
02:20She shouldn't be allowed to step foot in a church, never mind buy one
02:24No, but she does have 27 million dollars
02:27I'm sorry the sale was approved by the Vatican and it's not our place to question the Holy See
02:35Oh, I see what's going on
02:38You're not going to fight back because you're angling to replace the bishop when he retires
02:43I see right through you Monsignor
02:46She'll be doing a walkthrough tomorrow afternoon and if all goes as planned
02:51The sale will be closed by the end of the week
02:53But who knows
02:55We can hope for a miracle
03:03Heavenly Father
03:05You called on me to lead and protect these sisters
03:10If it be thy will, please show me a path to save our home
03:16Please
03:18Send me a sign
03:25Doorman said he heard fighting just before the vic fell from the balcony
03:31The neighbor says she wasn't well-liked
03:33Bit of a character
03:34What do you think, Father?
03:37Looks like somebody didn't love thy neighbor
03:42No talking during the theme song
03:54Lost
04:09Oz, what are you doing here?
04:11Forgive me, Father. I know its late
04:13But I have to confess
04:15From the minute I saw you at Felicity's funeral, I knew
04:16I knew.
04:17I'm in love with you, Rick.
04:25All right.
04:26All right.
04:27You've had your fun.
04:29Time for bed.
04:30Tomorrow is another day.
04:32Good night.
04:33Good night.
04:34Oh, Sister Darby,
04:36according to my watch,
04:38the bells for prayer rang at 6.02 this evening.
04:43But I could have sworn...
04:45The sisters depend on the bells to structure their day.
04:50Sorry, Mother Constance.
04:51I am...
04:52And I promise you it won't happen again.
04:54Please forgive me.
04:55Sloth is a deadly sin, Sister.
04:58It's not my forgiveness you need to ask for.
05:08Sister, remember, penance is not a chore.
05:12It is an act of worship.
05:15The Trying Toe.
05:16I have to read a story that we've gotten,
05:17I have to let them.
05:18I have to read a story.
05:19I have to read a story.
05:20It's a page in the bookmark.
05:21I can't tell you.
05:22This is a text in the bookmark.
05:23I have to read a few notes as well.
05:24I have to read a few notes and the libraries.
05:25I can't read them.
05:26And I can read a few notes.
05:27But at one time, I keep reading a couple of books.
05:28I have to read a bookmark.
05:29It is a 52-month bookmark.
05:30Oh look, the better bookmark comes out.
05:31Wow, that's far too good.
05:32If I read a bookmarks account,
05:33yeah that wall is load-bearing but once you rip out the sacristy it'll open up the whole space
05:40thank you guys
05:44okay what about something like this like tear down my wall watch it all fall break
05:49apart my little bearing heart okay so not this but something like this like here's

06:28you were going to purchase our convent well you know we used to have a place two blocks down from
06:33here we were there forever but i don't know just burnt down so i knew the next place had to be
06:39something really special and i used to always walk past this church and i would look up and i just feel
06:46so insignificant powerful you know i don't know it's hard to explain something about this place
06:54it's like low-key like really good energy it's literally the perfect place for my new recording
07:00studio a recording studio kind of a slate right it is slay yes yes um i hope you don't mind me saying
07:12this but there seems to be something heavy weighing on your soul
07:16okay that's so spooky um how did you know that i just feel it everything i tell you is like
07:29confidential right yeah well that uh you need a priest to administer the sacrament of reconciliation
07:36but your secrets are safe with me okay okay so i have been with the same producer for 13 years
07:45he's the one who took little elena jacobs from kansas city and turned her into elia jade pop
07:50phenomenon and i will be grateful to him for like ever won't we all but i i think i'm outgrowing him
07:57and and and i don't know what if i don't know how to be elia jade without him like like what if i
08:02jump and i just walk oh well you remind me of a young nun i once knew
08:12she was full of doubts when she first came to this place she questioned herself her path in life
08:20she questioned her faith even
08:26that young nun was me oh my god yeah um until one day i was sweeping the bell tower here i'll show you
08:36it's just right right up there it was an ordinary day and i looked out the western window and i saw
08:46the sky turn orange and crimson and all of a sudden the city was just covered with divine light gold
08:55and pure and i heard him clear as a bell and i found my path that day and i've never once strayed from it
09:07well what did he say oh i keep his secrets the same as i keep yours but i leave the door to the belfry open
09:18in case any of the sisters find themselves at a spiritual crossroad and um i think tonight's sunset is at 5 42 sharp
09:38in case any of the shadows i saw her right off the sky and i've never once again still
09:49oh
09:51my god
10:54You okay? Look a little pale.
10:56Yeah, but think about nuns.
10:58Twelve years of Catholic school will do that to you.
11:00Just drop it.
11:01So, you know this Eliade Jade person?
11:03Oh, yeah, it's hard not to.
11:05They're always playing that one song in my deli.
11:08It's something like that, that, that, that, that.
11:11In your pants, in your pants.
11:13Remind me not to go to your deli.
11:15I was in the chapel for evening prayer
11:18when I heard the bell ring
11:21and then a scream
11:24and then, you know, a thud.
11:27This scream,
11:29was it more of a
11:30or
11:34I guess the second one.
11:43You don't scream like that
11:44if you're planning on jumping.
11:45According to the ME,
11:46her injuries are consistent with the fall,
11:48except for the contusion on her head.
11:49So, someone hit her?
11:51Or something.
11:53Bell, scream, thud.
11:56Oh, yes, it is, it is, it's upsetting.
12:01I rang the bell.
12:02Is this my fault?
12:03Did I kill her?
12:04Oh, hey, hey.
12:06Please don't cry.
12:07You ever hear this one?
12:08A cop, a nun, and a lawyer
12:10walk into a church.
12:12Or is it a...
12:14It's a bar.
12:15Or is it a priest,
12:17a nun, and a chicken?
12:20I'll get it.
12:22You're very kind.
12:23Reverend Mother.
12:27Sister Darby,
12:28go to your room
12:29and compose yourself.
12:30I'll check on you
12:31before it lights out.
12:32Yes, Mother.
12:36Uh, whoop.
12:38Oh, sorry.
12:39You have a dust bunny.
12:42This is why I don't wear black.
12:44Shows everything.
12:46I'm Elspeth Tassioni.
12:47I'm with the police.
12:49Mother Constance Mary Cabot.
12:51I'm Mother Superior
12:52of the Convent
12:53of Our Lady
12:54of Grace and Mercy.
12:56I thought Elspeth Tassioni
12:57was a mouthful.
12:58Uh, maybe you can, uh,
13:01you can help me with this.
13:02Why did you have
13:04a pop star
13:05in your bell tower?
13:07Well, I suppose
13:08it was her bell tower.
13:09I had just accepted
13:11her generous offer
13:12to purchase our convent.
13:14What did she want
13:14with a convent?
13:16I'm not sure,
13:18but the money
13:18would have done
13:19the church so much good.
13:20She did a walk-through
13:22this afternoon,
13:23and she was very unhappy
13:24when I told her
13:25that the bell tower
13:26was strictly off-limits.
13:29Fell into disrepair
13:30years ago,
13:32and, uh,
13:33it's remained locked
13:34ever since.
13:36Well, it certainly
13:37wasn't locked tonight,
13:39was it?
13:40Yep.
13:41Looks like someone
13:42jammed something in it
13:43to break it open.
13:45Probably didn't take too much.
13:46This door looks like
13:47it's about 100 years old.
13:48200.
13:51Let's see.
13:53Yeah.
13:54One set of prints
13:55going up.
13:56She was alone.
13:58Looking like
13:58a clear-cut accident.
14:00But what was here?
14:02Oh, it was like
14:03a little puzzle game.
14:07Oh!
14:08Ding, ding, ding!
14:09Found a match.
14:10This sign was moved.
14:11Danger, do not enter.
14:14Why would she ignore
14:15such a big sign?
14:16Well, if a locked door
14:18didn't stop her,
14:19I don't imagine
14:19a sign would.
14:20Or maybe she didn't see it.
14:22But if she saw it,
14:24why would Aliyah
14:26turn the sign?
14:31Um,
14:33if I could be
14:33of no more use,
14:35I promised
14:35Sister Darby
14:36I would visit her
14:37before lights out.
14:39She's in a very
14:40delicate state.
14:42Good night.
14:42What on earth
15:06possessed that girl
15:07to climb up
15:07a 200-year-old bell tower
15:09in the first place?
15:10Well, Captain,
15:11here are just a few
15:12of Aliyah Jade's
15:13song titles.
15:14Uh,
15:15Snort It,
15:16Wet Spot,
15:17Wasted With You,
15:18one word,
15:19Double Vodka Soda,
15:21Blackout.
15:21I get the point.
15:23No, we're still waiting
15:23for the tox report,
15:24but my guess is
15:25this was just
15:26a stupid accident,
15:27likely under the influence.
15:29Uh,
15:29she was in the wrong place
15:30at the wrong time.
15:31Elizabeth,
15:33you've been awfully quiet.
15:35I'm trying to be better
15:36at waiting my turn.
15:37My turn?
15:38I have doubts.
15:43And why is that?
15:44I saw a sign.
15:46Oh, not that kind of sign.
15:47There was a
15:48Do Not Enter sign
15:50that was moved
15:50out of the way
15:51of the staircase.
15:53Hold, please.
15:55Okay.
15:57So,
15:57if Aliyah
15:58moved the sign,
16:00why would she go
16:01through the effort
16:02of turning it
16:03to face the wall?
16:04Watch.
16:05I'm Aliyah,
16:06they're the staircase,
16:06the sign's the sign.
16:07Okay.
16:08There's the easy way
16:09to do it.
16:11Right?
16:12Or,
16:13the
16:13unnecessarily
16:16difficult way.
16:21And,
16:22if Aliyah broke the lock,
16:24what did she use?
16:25She only had her phone on her.
16:27And what about the cell phone?
16:28Anything that might
16:29fill in some gaps?
16:29One thing.
16:31The last text she sent
16:33was to her producer,
16:34Shane Sills.
16:35Need to talk.
16:37V.
16:38Impertant.
16:39Not one of those words
16:40was spelled correctly.
16:41And,
16:42uh,
16:42get this.
16:43Hashtag,
16:44burn in hell,
16:45Shane Sills,
16:46is trending worldwide.
16:48The entire internet
16:49is blaming him
16:50for her death.
16:51Oh,
16:51either him or God.
16:53Well,
16:53we can't interrogate God,
16:54so let's see
16:55if we can talk
16:56to that producer,
16:56see what he knows
16:57about Aliyah Jade's
16:58final moments.
17:00And,
17:01Hellsbeth,
17:01see if you can figure out
17:02what was going through
17:03Aliyah Jade's head
17:04before she went up that tower.
17:05I think Teddy
17:06might be a fan.
17:07Maybe he knows something.
17:09And yes,
17:09it was sexual and garish,
17:11but in a self-referential
17:12and ironic sort of way.
17:14It was commentary
17:15on the commodification
17:16of girlhood.
17:16It was her top-selling album.
17:18And how many albums
17:19did she have?
17:20Seven.
17:20Okay.
17:21Seven studio albums.
17:24Six sold-out tours
17:26and nearly 40 million albums sold.
17:30What a busy beaver.
17:31Yeah,
17:31but the person who profited
17:32the most was always Shane.
17:34He owned her.
17:35Her fans,
17:35called her gems,
17:37hate him.
17:37They think he led her
17:38down a bad path.
17:39Fights with the paparazzi,
17:41the cheating scandal,
17:42then a wardrobe malfunction
17:43at the tree lighting ceremony.
17:44There have been rumors
17:46for months
17:46that she was dropping his label.
17:48How did someone
17:49as prolific as Aliyah
17:51have time to burn out
17:53like this?
17:54She was front page news
17:55every other week.
17:56Speaking of,
17:57I didn't want to say anything
17:58until it was official
17:59and it's not official official yet.
18:02Teddy's getting his first byline.
18:03Wait, what?
18:04Teddy!
18:06That's amazing!
18:08What's the story?
18:09It's about Alec Bloom,
18:11sort of.
18:11In his stump speech,
18:12he mentions this MTA employee
18:14named Pete
18:15who used to share sandwiches
18:16with him when he was living
18:17on the street as a kid.
18:18I thought,
18:19you know,
18:19there's a story.
18:20A city employee
18:21who fed the future mayor
18:22of New York.
18:23Hello.
18:23It practically writes itself.
18:24Yeah,
18:25I wish it would.
18:26My editor wants it
18:28by end of week
18:29and I still have to find the guy.
18:30Oh,
18:31okay.
18:31Well,
18:32we know his first name,
18:34we know his job,
18:35we know he likes sandwiches.
18:37Uh,
18:37yeah,
18:38well,
18:38I combed through
18:39the member rosters
18:40of the New York
18:41Transit Workers Union
18:42from 1987 to 1994
18:44and I found 68 Peters
18:46and I've already called
18:47Peters A through E.
18:49That's my boy.
18:51Dang.
18:52All right,
18:52this is going to take much longer.
18:53I've got a dinner reservation
18:54at Veeve.
18:55Well,
18:55we're just trying to understand
18:56a lot of his headspace
18:57at the time of the accident
18:59and you knew her better
19:00than anybody else.
19:01And yet,
19:02you don't seem particularly
19:03broken up by her death.
19:05I'm not sad.
19:06I'm pissed.
19:07Do you have any idea
19:08how much harder it's going to be
19:09to finish the album now?
19:10Uh,
19:11I imagine a lot.
19:14Thankfully,
19:15not impossible.
19:17See,
19:17I own Elia Jade,
19:18so to speak.
19:19Her masters,
19:20her image,
19:21the whole shebang.
19:22But you're missing
19:23the pop star.
19:24Not really.
19:26See,
19:26I have access to her cloud,
19:28which gives me access
19:28to every lyric
19:29that ever popped
19:30into her head,
19:31every rough demo
19:32and enough raw voice notes
19:34for at least two more albums.
19:35If she so much
19:36as sang in the shower,
19:38I own it.
19:40That makes me feel yucky.
19:41She accomplished
19:44quite a lot
19:45in her short life.
19:47How did she find
19:48the time
19:48to become such a
19:49handful?
19:52You're talking
19:52about the bender?
19:53Hmm.
19:54I planted those stories
19:55to give her some edge.
19:56No one wants
19:57a boring pop star.
19:59Elia kept
19:59a crazy schedule.
20:01In reality,
20:02she lived like a,
20:03uh...
20:04A nun?
20:06Sure.
20:06Oh, speaking of nuns,
20:09I guess this means
20:09the nuns get
20:10to keep their home now.
20:11Oh, no, not a chance.
20:12That's prime
20:13Manhattan real estate.
20:14I've already been
20:14in touch with the archdiocese.
20:16If we hurry up,
20:17we should be able
20:17to have an Elia Jade
20:19hologram concert
20:20ready in time
20:21for Easter.
20:23She has risen.
20:24Oh, Sister Princess.
20:34To what do I owe
20:35the pleasure?
20:35I'm sorry to drop
20:37in like this.
20:37I didn't get a chance
20:38to thank you
20:39for your kindness
20:40to Sister Darby
20:41last night.
20:42A small token
20:44of our thanks.
20:45Oh.
20:46And I hope
20:47to entice you
20:48to join us
20:49for our food drive
20:50this weekend.
20:52It'll be our last
20:53before we go.
20:55Oh.
20:56I would love to join.
20:59Aw, this is
21:00so kind of you,
21:03Sister.
21:04Ooh.
21:05Honey.
21:06How sweet of you.
21:07The sisters used
21:08to keep hives
21:09in our courtyard
21:10before the colony collapsed.
21:13Maybe these feelings
21:14are about
21:15the collapse
21:16of a different colony?
21:18The news has been
21:19very hard
21:19on the sisters.
21:21Well, from how
21:22Mother Constance
21:22spoke of it,
21:23the sale sounded
21:23like a good thing.
21:25She approved
21:26of it herself.
21:27Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
21:30Mother Constance
21:31wanted nothing
21:32to do with the sale.
21:34I have never
21:35seen her
21:36that angry
21:37in my life.
21:39Elspeth.
21:41Can I make
21:43a confession?
21:44Do you maybe
21:45want a lawyer first?
21:48During prayers,
21:50I asked God
21:52to do something,
21:54anything,
21:54to stop the sale
21:56of the convent.
21:57And he must have
21:58heard me
21:58because when the clock
22:00struck six,
22:02my prayers
22:02were answered
22:03and I feel
22:05so guilty.
22:06Oh, sister.
22:08You can't blame yourself
22:10for having hope,
22:12right?
22:12Uh, here.
22:18Wait.
22:19You said six.
22:21Don't the bells
22:22ring after evening
22:23prayers end?
22:24That's right.
22:25At six o'clock.
22:27Unless
22:27Sister Darby
22:28is late again.
22:29Bless you,
22:33Sister.
22:35Oh!
22:36It wasn't
22:36wrong place,
22:37wrong time.
22:38The wrong time
22:38was the wrong time.
22:39Is this some
22:40kind of riddle?
22:41The bells were
22:41supposed to ring
22:42at six o'clock
22:43sharp,
22:43but the 911 call
22:44came in at 545.
22:46Elspeth.
22:46Do you want to guess
22:47the odds of going
22:47up a tower
22:48the one time
22:49the bells rang
22:50at the wrong time
22:51in over 200 years?
22:52This was no accident.
22:53Elspeth,
22:54we have a confession.
22:56Meet Stanley Culpepper,
22:57Aliyah Jade's
22:59alleged killer.
23:01Who the heck
23:02is that?
23:06What's not
23:07working for you?
23:08We have footage
23:09of him standing
23:09outside her apartment
23:10in the convent.
23:12His pocket knife
23:12is the perfect size
23:14for breaking the lock
23:15on the belfry.
23:16His phone
23:17has 32 gigs
23:18of photos
23:19of Aliyah
23:20around the city.
23:21Oh, and let's not
23:22forget,
23:22he confessed.
23:23He's lying.
23:25Let me try something.
23:27Hi, Stan.
23:30Can you remind me
23:31why did you kill
23:33Aliyah Jade?
23:34I didn't like her.
23:36Between us,
23:38I didn't care for her
23:39either.
23:40She was always
23:40so fake.
23:41You know what I mean?
23:42Did you know
23:43her real name?
23:44Alyssa Jurgland
23:45from St. Louis.
23:47And I never really
23:48got her music either.
23:49It was always
23:50so simple,
23:52shallow.
23:52If I have to hear
23:53that song
23:54Dry Patch
23:55one more time.
23:56It's Wet Spot.
23:57The song is called
23:58Wet Spot
23:59and she was
24:00Aliyah Jacobs
24:00from Kansas City.
24:02Not Alyssa Jurgis
24:02from St. Louis.
24:03Do your research,
24:04people.
24:05For God's sakes,
24:06the woman was a genius.
24:09He's not a killer.
24:10He's a gem.
24:12A fan.
24:12With no place
24:13to put his love.
24:15The, uh,
24:17Aliyah Jade phone case
24:18was my first clue.
24:20I just wanted
24:20to be part
24:21of her story.
24:22You were willing
24:22to go to prison
24:23just to feel
24:24closer to her?
24:25I still would.
24:26Do you know
24:27why Aliyah went
24:28up into the bell tower?
24:29No, but
24:30maybe the woman
24:32in the black dress
24:33knows.
24:34I took pictures.
24:37Hi, I'm looking
24:38for Mr. Peter,
24:39uh, Hannigan.
24:40I'm not interested
24:41in buying anything.
24:42No, Mr. Hannigan,
24:43I'm a researcher
24:43for the New York View.
24:45I was hoping
24:45to ask you
24:46a few questions
24:46about your time
24:47working for the MTA.
24:48Oh.
24:50Okay.
24:51Yeah, I know
24:51this is a long shot,
24:52but, um,
24:53do you happen
24:53to remember
24:53ever meeting
24:54a young boy
24:55probably around 12
24:56sleeping in the
24:57East Broadway station?
24:58This would have been
24:58around 1990,
25:00give or take.
25:01Um, and if so,
25:02did you feed him
25:03sandwiches?
25:05Yes, yes,
25:06of course.
25:07In the East Broadway station.
25:10Oh, my God.
25:12I, um,
25:12I'm sorry.
25:13I mean, um,
25:14I'm so happy
25:16to have found you,
25:16Mr. Hannigan.
25:17I don't care
25:20that it's load-bearing.
25:22It's ugly.
25:23Figure it out.
25:27Mother.
25:29Mother.
25:29Mother.
25:30How can I help you?
25:32Well, I guess
25:32I should commend you
25:33on your bravery
25:34going through
25:35with the purchase
25:36after what's happened.
25:37Well, I'm not exactly
25:38afraid of being smited.
25:40Oh, it isn't God
25:41that you should be worried about.
25:43Actually, millions believe
25:45that God rightfully
25:46struck Aliyah down.
25:49But millions of her fans
25:50believe that you
25:51had a hand in her death.
25:53And by going through
25:55with the purchase,
25:56it's like you're putting
25:57a target on your back
25:59that'll walk around
26:00with you for the rest
26:01of your life.
26:09Oh!
26:11Hi.
26:11That's you, right?
26:16Because if you
26:18zoom in really close,
26:21you can see
26:21a little dust bunny.
26:23I repeat.
26:25She asked to see
26:27the bell tower.
26:28I told her
26:30it was off limits.
26:32Right.
26:32You mentioned
26:33that she was unhappy
26:34about that,
26:36but she doesn't look
26:37very unhappy here.
26:38It's the camera angle.
26:41Ah.
26:43Do you believe
26:44in God,
26:44Miss Tassioni?
26:46Oh.
26:48Uh.
26:50I guess I don't know.
26:53I really want to.
26:56I encourage
26:57the sisters
26:58to ask questions.
27:00Doubts
27:01strengthen faith.
27:03They're very lucky
27:04to have such a wise
27:06mother superior.
27:08Mother superior
27:09is a title
27:10I don't wear lightly.
27:11I am an authority figure,
27:13yes,
27:13but also a spiritual guide,
27:15a protector,
27:15and most of all,
27:17a parent.
27:18Oh.
27:19That's a lot of hats
27:20for one person to wear.
27:22And trust me,
27:23I know hats.
27:24As I was saying,
27:27the sisters often
27:28come to me
27:29at a crossroads,
27:30and it's my duty
27:31to point them
27:32to the right path
27:34as it was done
27:35for me.
27:36Well,
27:37you seem
27:38very
27:39good at that.
27:41Which reminds me,
27:43would you mind
27:43pointing me
27:45to Sister Darby?
27:49I don't believe it.
27:50We watch Father Crime
27:52every single week,
27:53and you know
27:53Father Garvey?
27:55He's so dreamy.
27:57He's less interesting
27:59in person.
28:00You really don't
28:01have to help me.
28:02But many hands
28:03make light work,
28:04and I'm having
28:05a lovely time.
28:06I do have another
28:07question, though.
28:09Do you like wearing
28:09the same thing
28:10every day?
28:10Because me,
28:12I'll sometimes do
28:13four or five outfits
28:14in an afternoon.
28:15My habit is my wedding dress.
28:16How lucky am I
28:17that I get to wear it
28:18every day?
28:19Wow,
28:19that is so special.
28:22Wow.
28:23I wish I could wear
28:24my wedding dress
28:25every day.
28:26Uh,
28:27the marriage,
28:28not so great.
28:30But,
28:31the dress?
28:34But sometimes
28:34I worry I'm not
28:35very good at being
28:36a nun.
28:37What?
28:38What makes you
28:38say that?
28:39I keep messing
28:40things up.
28:40The gardening,
28:41the bells.
28:42It's why I'm
28:43on dishwashing duty.
28:44I dropped
28:45four dishes yesterday.
28:46So you're not perfect.
28:50No one expects
28:50you to be.
28:51Not even God.
28:52Mother Constance does.
28:54Especially when it
28:55comes to the bells.
28:56The sisters live
28:57by the bells.
29:00Sister Darby,
29:01the night
29:02Aliyah died,
29:03the 6 p.m.
29:04evening prayer bells
29:05rang at the wrong time.
29:07According to the
29:08security footage
29:09from the building
29:09across the street,
29:10the bells rang
29:11at 6 a.m.,
29:13noon,
29:15and 5.42 p.m.
29:17That's not possible.
29:19I double-checked
29:19my watch.
29:21Triple-checked.
29:23I took it off
29:24while I was
29:24washing the dishes
29:25to keep it dry.
29:26Was there anyone
29:27else in here with you
29:28while you were
29:28washing up?
29:29Sisters brought
29:30me their dishes.
29:31Mother Constance
29:32watched over me.
29:33I don't think...
29:35If the bells are off
29:36by so much as 30 seconds,
29:38Mother Constance
29:38scolds me.
29:39I imagine 18 whole
29:41minutes would get
29:41me excommunicated.
29:43And yet,
29:43she never said
29:45anything.
29:47Bless me,
29:48Father,
29:48for I have sinned.
29:50It has been
29:51three days
29:51since my last
29:52confession.
29:54I have committed
29:55a mortal sin.
29:57No sin is greater
29:57than God's mercy.
30:00I may have
30:02encouraged that
30:03young woman
30:04to climb
30:05the bell tower.
30:07I'm afraid
30:08that if the police
30:10were to continue
30:11their investigation,
30:13what they might
30:13uncover
30:14could do irreparable
30:16harm to the church
30:17and to your chances
30:20of becoming bishop.
30:23I'm sorry,
30:24Captain,
30:24but your officers
30:25and whatever
30:26this woman is
30:27won't be welcome
30:28again without a warrant.
30:29You said it yourselves.
30:31This was a clear-cut
30:32accident.
30:33Monsignor Frank,
30:33we are simply trying
30:34to rule out the possibility
30:35of foul play.
30:36By dropping in
30:37to do the dishes,
30:38the sisters choose
30:39to live their lives
30:40in quiet contemplation
30:41and prayer,
30:42not on Sesame Street.
30:44They've suffered enough
30:44these past few days
30:45and this unnecessary
30:47police presence
30:48has become
30:49an upsetting distraction.
30:50I really didn't mean
30:52to be a distraction.
30:53It just sort of happens.
30:54There are questions
30:55about this case
30:56that are still unanswered.
30:57Then get a warrant.
30:58Good luck convincing
30:59a judge that a flip danger
31:00sign is probable cause.
31:02Oh, and know that
31:04the church's
31:05very experienced lawyers
31:06are standing by.
31:08Good day.
31:11I haven't been scolded
31:12by a priest
31:13since I was 16
31:14cutting geometry.
31:15You've been upsetting
31:17the nuns?
31:18I've been upsetting
31:19one nun in particular.
31:21Well, we're not welcome,
31:22so we better figure out
31:23a new way
31:23to get thee to that nunnery.
31:27Ladies, good morning.
31:29Ding dong.
31:30Look who I brought.
31:31We're here for
31:32the community food drive.
31:40What's the hardest part
31:41of playing a priest on TV?
31:44Probably all the push-ups.
31:47Miss Tassioni,
31:48I am surprised
31:49to see you here
31:51since you were
31:51specifically told
31:52you were no longer welcome.
31:54Right.
31:55Um, Sister Frances
31:56invited me to volunteer.
31:58I wanted to help.
31:59You think I'm stupid
32:01enough to believe that?
32:02No, no, no, no.
32:03Really, I'm just
32:05trying to do something good.
32:07And how is distracting
32:08the sisters
32:08with carnal temptation
32:10doing anyone any good?
32:13We could use
32:14a few more hands
32:14out there
32:15to help unload the trucks.
32:16Two more just showed up.
32:18Trucks?
32:19Everybody,
32:20Jack put out
32:21a call for donations
32:22and it is amazing
32:24what a celebrity guest
32:25will do for turnout.
32:27There's really no need
32:28to thank me.
32:30I try to be selfless.
32:31What can I say?
32:33I'm method.
32:36You may stay.
32:38Please don't make me
32:39regret this.
32:41At least tuck
32:42the shirt in.
32:43Larissa,
32:43I told you,
32:44this isn't a campaign photo op.
32:45Of course it isn't
32:46because churches
32:47are a 501c3
32:48and can't endorse candidates.
32:50Alec, you came.
32:51Oh, and you too, Marissa.
32:53Well, no New Yorker
32:55should be going hungry.
32:56Oh, let me get that.
32:58Why don't you
32:59head over to Sister Anne
33:01and she'll get you settled in.
33:02And remember,
33:03lift with your legs.
33:04Yeah.
33:05Oh, Elspeth,
33:06we can't thank you enough.
33:08Oh, of course.
33:09But I think I upset
33:12Mother Constance
33:14by being here.
33:15I feel a little guilty.
33:16You've just described
33:18my whole life.
33:19She means well,
33:20but she wasn't always
33:22like this.
33:24Really?
33:25How so?
33:26Between us,
33:28she had quite
33:29the rebellious spirit
33:31back in the day.
33:32Our old superior,
33:33Mother Mary Phyllis,
33:34was so harsh on her
33:36that she found
33:37some secret spot
33:38to escape
33:39her watchful eye.
33:42This secret spot.
34:06Oh!
34:07Okay.
34:08You shouldn't sneak up
34:10on people like that.
34:11Haven't you seen
34:11Vertigo?
34:13What are you searching for?
34:15Oh.
34:16Uh, well,
34:17I guess I've been
34:18searching for
34:19a sense of purpose.
34:20To know that I'm making
34:22a positive difference
34:23in the world.
34:24In my belfry.
34:25What are you searching for
34:26in my belfry?
34:27Ah, right.
34:28Sorry.
34:29I believe that this stuff
34:38belongs to you?
34:38That belonged to a girl
34:40I no longer recognize.
34:42A lifetime ago,
34:43I used to come up here
34:45to hide from my penance
34:47from my mother superior.
34:48Of course,
34:48she caught me,
34:49and she charged me
34:51with cleaning the belfry.
34:52That's when I heard
34:54the call.
34:55I stood here
34:56at this very window,
34:59and that's when I saw
35:01the sky opened,
35:03and I saw it.
35:05God's divine light,
35:08gold,
35:09and pure.
35:11He showed me my path
35:13that day
35:13to lead and protect
35:16the sisters
35:16of Our Lady
35:18of Grace and Mercy.
35:20I don't need
35:21divine light,
35:23but I am
35:24searching
35:25for answers.
35:28Try as I might.
35:34I can't
35:36understand
35:38what made Elia
35:39come up here.
35:41God,
35:43in His infinite wisdom,
35:45He gave us free will.
35:47I don't question
35:48how others use it,
35:50but Elia didn't have
35:51free will.
35:53She signed a deal
35:54with the devil
35:55at 14
35:56and gave it away.
35:57She wasn't the type
35:58of person
35:59to disobey.
36:02She wasn't like you.
36:03So,
36:05why did she come up here
36:06exactly when
36:07she did?
36:10Perhaps we'll never know.
36:12If only she were here
36:14herself to tell us.
36:16leave my convent
36:20now.
36:27Why won't you just admit
36:28that you feel something?
36:30Alec is smart,
36:31he's kind,
36:32he's hot.
36:33Alec is great,
36:34he really is,
36:36but I just
36:36don't see it.
36:37He's a friend.
36:39A friend who
36:39takes time off
36:40the campaign trail
36:41to help you lift
36:42boxes at a church.
36:43Sure.
36:46Uh,
36:47listen to
36:47Resurrection,
36:48the latest single
36:49by Elia Jade.
36:50What the hell is this?
36:51Shane said he had
36:52enough raw recordings
36:53to make two albums.
36:55Boy,
36:55he didn't waste any time.
36:56I can't stomach this.
36:58Anyone need a drink?
37:10This feels wrong.
37:12Wait,
37:13go back.
37:17Did you hear that?
37:18What?
37:18Hear what?
37:19I know why
37:22Elia Jade
37:22went up that bell tower.
37:28My dear sisters,
37:30our time together
37:31is coming to an end,
37:32but I won't rest
37:34until each of you
37:35are settled
37:35in your new home.
37:45Detective,
37:46I thought I made
37:46myself clear.
37:47you and your officers
37:49are no longer
37:50welcome here
37:50without a search warrant.
37:52Sorry, Father,
37:52we don't have
37:53a search warrant,
37:54but we do
37:56have an arrest warrant.
37:57On what grounds?
37:58Forgive me, Mother,
37:59but you have sinned
38:01a lot.
38:03For example,
38:05thou shalt not
38:06bear false witness
38:07when you said
38:08you accepted
38:09Elia's offer
38:10for the good
38:10of the church,
38:11but according
38:12to Sister Frances,
38:14you rejected
38:14that offer
38:15only to have
38:16the archdiocese
38:17go over your head.
38:19Thou shalt not
38:21steal,
38:22and yet,
38:23you put Sister Darby
38:24on dishwashing duty
38:25so you could swipe
38:26her watch
38:27and change the time.
38:28Why would I do that?
38:29Because you knew
38:30you could get
38:31Elia Jade
38:32to stand at the
38:33western window
38:34of that bell tower
38:35at the exact time
38:37that she would
38:38ring the bells.
38:39Which brings us to
38:40Thou shalt not kill.
38:43Miss Tassioni,
38:45I am a woman
38:46of faith,
38:47but even I
38:48understand
38:49the burden
38:50of proof.
38:51What was it
38:52you said?
38:53If only
38:53Elia were here
38:55to tell us
38:56herself.
38:58I lose myself
39:00in your
39:01allure
39:02Divine light,
39:04gold and pure.
39:06Divine light,
39:08gold and pure.
39:10That sounds familiar.
39:11Isn't that how you
39:13described the sunset
39:14which made you
39:15dedicate your life
39:16to God
39:17and to this convent?
39:18This is preposterous.
39:20The woman is dead.
39:21Even if the reverend
39:22mother had spoken
39:23to her about
39:23the bell tower,
39:24how could she
39:25have recorded this?
39:26Now, now,
39:27no, this is it.
39:28This is the one.
39:29I lose myself
39:30in your allure,
39:31your Divine light,
39:32gold and pure.
39:34Shane Stills
39:34had access
39:35to Elia's cloud.
39:36That voice note
39:37was recorded
39:37at 5.28 p.m.,
39:3914 minutes before
39:40she climbed
39:41the bell tower.
39:42At 5.42 p.m.,
39:44the exact time
39:46of the sunset.
39:48You knew
39:49you could inspire
39:50Elia Jade
39:51to go up
39:51that bell tower
39:52with the promise
39:53of salvation.
39:54And you used
39:55Sister Darby
39:56to smite her
39:58yourself.
39:59And all because
40:00you couldn't bear
40:01to see your home
40:02turned into
40:02a recording studio.
40:05Mother Constance,
40:06is this true?
40:08No.
40:12Then swear to God.
40:14Swear a solemn oath
40:15in truth,
40:16in justice,
40:16and in judgment.
40:19I can't.
40:23Can you please
40:24forgive me?
40:25It's not our forgiveness
40:27you need to ask
40:28for, Mother.
40:30Constance,
40:31Mary Cabot,
40:32you are under arrest
40:33for the murder
40:34of Elia Jade.
40:36I just wanted
40:37to save our home.
40:40I'm so sorry
40:41I wasn't able
40:41to do that.
40:42Oh, don't worry.
40:44I did.
40:45Sort of.
40:46It turns out
40:47our very successful
40:48food drive
40:49got a lot of press
40:50and also the attention
40:51of the Landmarks
40:52Preservation Commission.
40:54By law,
40:55not only must the convent
40:56not be demolished,
40:57but it must be
40:58fully restored
40:59to its former glory.
41:02It's a miracle!
41:05The Lord works
41:06in mysterious ways.
41:07Thank you, Elspeth,
41:14for giving our convent
41:16a second life.
41:17Well, it's in good hands,
41:19Mother Frances.
41:21Besides,
41:21it was all Alec.
41:23It was all you.
41:25I made the calls
41:26because you asked.
41:28This was all you.
41:29It was a lot of me, too,
41:30but it's fine.
41:31Optically speaking,
41:32it's a big fat jackpot
41:33for all of us.
41:34Hey, guys.
41:35This is...
41:36I'd recognize
41:37that face anywhere.
41:39It's good to see you again,
41:40Mr. Hannigan.
41:40You haven't changed.
41:42And I don't recognize
41:43you at all.
41:45It's been a while, yes.
41:47We'll have to catch up
41:48properly.
41:49No, come, come.
41:50It's time for our
41:51group photo.
41:52Oh, I don't think
41:53I should be in...
41:54Get in the photo, Elspeth.
41:57Thank you again
41:59for doing this,
42:00Mr. Hannigan.
42:00It means a lot to Alec.
42:02Who?
42:03Alec.
42:04Bloom,
42:05the mayoral,
42:05handed it.
42:06What happened
42:07to Koch?
42:08Mr. Hannigan,
42:10Alec Bloom
42:11is the boy
42:11from your story.
42:12And remember?
42:14Oh, yeah.
42:14Of course I remember.
42:17I took him
42:18to the Grand Canyon.
42:20Mr. Hannigan,
42:21you do remember
42:23helping a boy
42:24who slept
42:25in the East Broadway
42:25station in the winter
42:26of 1989, right?
42:28Mr. Hannigan,
42:29we're waiting on you.
42:30Okay, everybody,
42:36big smiles.
42:37I want to see
42:37happy nuns.
42:39How's my wimple?
42:40It's good.
42:41Look at your mom.
42:43Tell me she isn't
42:43falling for Alec Bloom.
42:51Crucify me,
42:53you can vilify me,
42:55you can nail me
42:56to the cross.
42:59I spit your glass
43:00full of road
43:01and feel you
43:01fall out down.
43:03Under chaos,
43:04you can't stop.
43:06You can't stop.
43:08You can't stop.
