00:00Jesus Fergal, I'm glad to see you haven't lost that ferocious duck hook.
00:08Provisional ball, you're not going to get that.
00:10Were you aiming for the house there?
00:11That scabby frockler's never going to let that one go.
00:14That's an eight euro golf ball.
00:17Oh look, we're breaking and entering now.
00:30Would he have helped me if he knew I was a priest?
00:57Would he then have called the cops or would he have used that club in his hand to push me deeper underwater?
01:08Nobody has much use for a priest these days, dead or alive.
01:12Found it! I can take a swing from here. Watch out!
01:17That's actually a good recovery, I'm not going to lie.
01:20But I do have one last rite to perform.
01:23I'm the dead body, and these stories always begin with one of those.
01:28There's such comfort in repetition, isn't there? It's a bit like mass.
01:34Please don't assume I'm some kind of pervert just because I'm dead and I'm wearing the collar.
01:38I know we haven't covered ourselves in glory over the last little while, but respectfully, nor have you.
01:44And you people make solemn promises all the time.
01:48My job is to hear how you broke those sacred vows, and then to help you find peace.
01:53Well, now that my era of giving a toppenny fuck what people think is well and truly over, here's the gospel.
02:00One week before, I arrived in Tenerife to officiate at the wedding of an old friend's daughter.
02:07You want some air-conditioning?
02:32Oh no, let us save the planet. A little mortification of the flesh is good for me.
02:39Are you here for a wedding?
02:41Ah, yes, I'm officiating at the wedding.
02:45I'm a priest, a Catholic priest from Ireland.
02:48Come on, Nico.
02:49Ah.
02:50Ah.
02:51Ah.
02:52Ah.
02:53Ah.
03:03Excuse me.
03:04Excuse me.
03:05This can't be mine.
03:06My host assured me of a small room here for the week.
03:08This is yours.
03:09This is the address.
03:10Excuse me.
03:11Hoo!
03:16Where's something, father?
03:18Oh my God!
03:19You know that one hasSQLboot with, you don't even have to get it so Local.
03:24This is good اب事.
03:26You can just jump in and out of the bill and then get a break now on your plane.
03:29Oh, look, I got it.
03:33Oh, my God, have I done it?
03:34Oh, crap, Chad, if you don't have it, it's so may organize.
03:37You don't get it out of the grill, then get a break, then jump in and out again.
03:40So much guns at sleep, these guns are out there.
03:45Someone dialed a priest?
03:49Hello?
03:50Father Vincent O'Keefe, how do you do?
03:53Hola, Padre.
03:54Have you lost your way?
03:56I don't know.
03:57But by all accounts, I'm staying here.
04:00Hey, you're a friend of Sandra and Jerry's, yeah?
04:02Yes.
04:03Seems a bit tapped in the skull they have you subjected to sharing with us, but, uh, they're calling the shots, you know, hey-ho?
04:13Okay, so, dear, so dear.
04:15Come on, we'll find you a manger.
04:19Now, Rory, Aranar, Cormac, Ava, Claire, the Huns, Weather, Sofas.
04:28Chair.
04:30Kitchen.
04:34Almonds.
04:38Oh, wait.
04:40Let's call a spade a spade.
04:41And, boom.
04:48Look, uh, real talk, Padre.
04:50I'm sorry, I just have to say it, you know.
04:52Let's get it out of the way now.
04:54I'm delighted you're here.
04:55But this lot, it's like, this is their holiday.
04:58They've all taken annual leave to be here.
05:00They're my best mates in the whole entire world.
05:01And I don't think they'll be happy to kind of curtail their behaviours because they're sharing with a priest.
05:06Seems mental to take that.
05:09That's fine to say, isn't it?
05:11Best in the long run vibes.
05:13Just a couple of lads being straight with each other, you know.
05:15Man of the cloth to one lack thereof.
05:19Cool.
05:20Quezis?
05:22Zero quezis.
05:23Fuego.
05:23Wi-Fi password is Tenerife4life, capital T, number 4, life is L-Y-F, all our case, all one word.
05:30And, uh, you're flying.
05:32Good man.
05:35Actually, it's Tenerife spelled wrong, so it's R-E-E-F.
05:38I don't know if he looks like death.
05:58He looks a bit more like God.
06:02I think either way, it's a bit fucking weird having a priest wandering around her living room in the middle of the night.
06:07He's just a person.
06:08A human person.
06:12Maybe they're trying to stab us from going mad.
06:15No, Jeff, self-sad.
06:16You know, with I did it, he was an absolute last minute dot com.
06:19All the hotels were booked out.
06:21Yeah, but I mean, they do have priest in Spain.
06:23Apparently, Sandra was like, we need this one guy for the big day.
06:26Ah, no, look.
06:28Look, I've had a little word bug, and he knows to be cool.
06:31Otherwise, he'll be fucked out on his ear.
06:34Muy rapido, molto pronto.
06:37And you'll be doing that, will you?
06:38Hi, Father.
06:49I've got a text.
06:52Um, Liam.
06:53Yeah, Liam.
06:54No drugs are to be taken at our wedding, and we'd really appreciate it if you refrained from drinking alcohol the day before, so you'd be fully present to appreciate the day.
07:01Nobody wants to be a parent in 2025.
07:06You might as well call me Heil Hitler.
07:08I'm changing my name when I go to boarding school next year.
07:10You can't stop me.
07:11Dad said it's okay.
07:12Your dad will literally say anything to avoid an argument.
07:15You're so fucking controlling.
07:16I'm trying to do what's best for you, and even though you clearly hate me, you need to be at home.
07:20I don't think boarding school is...
07:22Some people want to be at home.
07:37Hello.
07:39Hello.
07:41Hello.
07:43Hello.
07:45Hello.
07:47We are surprised at the moment.
07:49I better wear shoes.
07:51It's giving us a clean hat.
08:01It's a gym.
08:03Hiya.
08:09Ava.
08:11Oh.
08:13Vincent.
08:15Writer room.
08:17Both.
08:19Neither.
08:21I'm the priest.
08:23Will.
08:25I'm the priest.
08:27Will.
08:29I'm the priest.
08:31Will.
08:33I'll be on the bright side of the aisle.
08:35The last two are arriving tomorrow.
08:37And I'm singing a little song of the happy couple.
08:39What are you singing?
08:41Let's see if you can guess.
08:43Close your eyes.
08:45Give me your hand, darling.
08:47Do you feel my heart beating?
08:51Wow.
08:53Those good memories?
08:55Memories, anyway.
08:57Yes, I always liked that one.
08:59Shit.
09:01How are you going to get back with all that water?
09:03Oh, walking.
09:04Don't mind the walk.
09:05We can give you a lift, I'm sure.
09:06Thank you, walking is good.
09:07Let's go.
09:08Can we squeeze one more in?
09:09No, no, no, no, thank you.
09:10Are you mad?
09:11Come inside and pay.
09:24Oh, I already paid.
09:25I have my receipt.
09:26Your friends didn't pay.
09:28Well, they're not my friends.
09:30I saw you talking.
09:31Where do they live?
09:33How much is it?
09:35One hundred and forty-eight euros.
09:38English people.
09:43Father, bless us.
09:46Father?
09:47Father?
09:48Father?
09:49Father?
09:50Hiya, Father.
09:51Jerry Byrne wants to buy you lunch.
09:52What time is it?
09:53I feel like it's three.
09:55I hope you're waiting.
09:56Mm-hm.
09:57It's cold.
09:58Does she eat?
09:59No, right.
10:00No, I don't.
10:01People are getting offended.
10:02I feel like it's three.
10:12I hope you're winning some skin fabric.
10:22No, I don't...
10:23People are getting offended by it.
10:25You can't say anything at all.
10:26You can't be offended by it.
10:27Look who it is.
10:28Oh!
10:29Good siesta.
10:30You've got the...
10:32You've got the thing in there.
10:34Oh.
10:39Vincent, this is Caroline.
10:41Hello, Father. So nice to meet you.
10:43And this is her husband, Fergal.
10:45Hey, Adrie.
10:46Do you know what? I think the kitchen might be closed.
10:49They'll whip the holy man up a platter of croquettes.
10:52No, no, hang on.
10:53Hang on.
10:54Croquettes?
10:55Yeah, potatoes fritas here?
10:57We won't see you go hungry, Father.
10:59Have some wine.
11:00No, no, I'm fine.
11:02Go on, have a glass of wine.
11:03Go on, it's the summertime.
11:04No, no, no, thank you so much.
11:05That's not the Vincent I remember.
11:07The pre-ordained Vincent was a fucking wild man.
11:10He was...
11:11Huh?
11:12The road to Damascus.
11:14Would you get the poor father some water he's parched?
11:19Would you rather a shandy?
11:20No, tap water.
11:21Tap water's fine.
11:23So listen, it's just great you could join us for the wedding.
11:25I know it's been a long, long time.
11:27Well, your offer to the church heating fund back home was extremely generous.
11:31I informed the parish coffers would be swollen by my trip here and they were very pleased.
11:35I didn't think we'd have to bribe you.
11:37Well, not a bribe per se.
11:38Not a bribe.
11:39Just a dig out.
11:40St. Teresa's is fucking Baltic in the depths of winter.
11:43How would you know?
11:44You haven't darkened the door of a church in, I feel like, decades.
11:46Alan's funeral.
11:48Oh, yeah.
11:49Right.
11:50I include your brother in my prayers often.
11:52It was a great funeral.
11:53Even though I felt like fucking Vim Hof.
11:56Now, listen.
11:57It'd be great if you could swing by the church and meet the Padre before the big day.
12:01You know, talk to him.
12:02Do we need an organist?
12:03Do we need parking?
12:06Can we throw rice or is it problematic for local pigeons?
12:09His name's Sandoval.
12:10He's expecting you.
12:11He's a harmless poor devil, isn't he?
12:13Huh?
12:14He's very nice.
12:15Yeah, grand.
12:16I'll drop by tomorrow.
12:17I was hoping to get mass anyway.
12:19There you go.
12:20Also, I was wondering when and where it might be best for me to meet the bride and groom.
12:24I don't have their numbers yet.
12:26Why?
12:27Well, I'd like to talk to them.
12:32About their commitment.
12:33Oh.
12:34Oh.
12:35Oh, no, it isn't.
12:36They're very busy.
12:37The bride sadly has had to fly over her dress fitter for an emergency refit
12:40because she's been sucking ice cubes for the guts of a month
12:43and doesn't remotely resemble the woman who bought the dress half a year ago.
12:46I'm not a pig on a stomach.
12:48Meanwhile, the groom is up the walls with his family, who are, frankly, fucking batshit.
12:53He's trying to sell his company and he's got to organise the golf tournament,
12:58do a stag with his buddies, do a rehearsal dinner,
13:00and try to find a minute to relax and have a beer or two.
13:03Hello?
13:04Are they no plans to meet me before I officiate?
13:06Well, that's kind of my weird meeting.
13:10Well, it's lovely to see you both again after all this time,
13:13but I'd really like to get an idea of who they are
13:17so I could write a sermon that fits somewhat.
13:20I don't think a sermon's a good idea.
13:22They're not religious.
13:23They think should be more bing-bang-bosh.
13:25No frills.
13:26The Ryanair of masses.
13:28We love Michael O'Leary.
13:31I wouldn't say love. I respect the man greatly, yes.
13:34I'm struggling to understand why they want a priest in the first place.
13:37They want a Catholic wedding.
13:39Why?
13:40That's what people do, isn't it?
13:42I wouldn't have said so, not these days.
13:44If they're going to have children and they want those children to have the best education,
13:47we all know that the best educational establishments in Ireland are owned by the church.
13:52They're kind of getting their ducks in a row, all that front.
13:54Rightly so.
13:55I don't see why my grandchildren should be sacrificial lambs on the altar
13:58of some unknown educational establishment.
14:01They're future-proofing, you know?
14:03Could they not have asked a local priest from here like this Father Sandoval?
14:08Well, no, that part was us.
14:09Because we wanted you.
14:11Vincent, we wanted you.
14:13On this occasion.
14:14Yes, we did.
14:15We wanted an old friend.
14:17And a friend of the family.
14:19Oh, sorry.
14:22Aww.
14:23Really lovely.
14:24And you get a warm church back in Dublin for the forthcoming winters.
14:28You know, by the sounds of it.
14:29And some sun on your bones.
14:31Promise me you'll get some sun, you look a-davorous.
14:33Really bad.
14:34You must be hungry, Father.
14:36Oh, you are in for a treat.
14:37Those croquettes are delicious.
14:38Wine.
14:39No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
14:42No, no, no.
14:43Thank you so much.
14:44Just water, please.
14:45I hope so.
14:46Yeah.
14:47Do you notice the roundabout on your drive in here?
14:50The triangular roundabout.
14:51And here in Spain, they make triangular roundabouts.
14:54I mean, the Spanish are fucking more.
14:55They can't say things like that.
14:56Anyway, Caroline was just saying that we should get the golf club to commission a sculpture
15:01for it.
15:02It's such a great idea.
15:03Super.
15:04Yeah, my son Fintan was learning sculpture in rehab, so I might get him to do it.
15:09Something to keep him occupied.
15:10The devil has made a lot of work for those idle fucking hands.
15:12Excuse my French.
15:13Sorry.
15:14Although, although a female Irish artist would be so great, you know, in this day and age.
15:19My wife has the soul of an artist.
15:21Mm-hmm.
15:22And your wife parked that part of her life in order to raise your children and none of us
15:25would be here if she hadn't.
15:27No.
15:41Vincent.
15:42Yes?
15:43Would you have a minute to talk to me about something else?
15:47Maybe tomorrow?
15:48Is everything okay?
15:49Oh, God, yeah.
15:50Everything's grand.
15:51I just, I could do with your counsel.
15:54A confidential ear.
15:56Hmm.
15:57Looks like a formal confession.
15:59I'm sure that can be conducted in a church.
16:01Oh, nothing like that.
16:03No, no, no.
16:04I was thinking something more along the lines of a chat.
16:07You know?
16:08Yeah.
16:09I'll text you, but.
16:10Yeah.
16:11Tomorrow morning sometime?
16:12Mm-hmm.
16:13Um.
16:14Bring your vow of silence with you.
16:17What's with you?
16:18What's with you?
16:19What's with you?
16:20What's with you?
16:21What's with you?
16:22What's with you?
16:23What's with you?
16:24What's with you?
16:25What's with you?
16:28What's with you?
16:29What's with you?
16:44Oh, okay.
16:45What's with you for sure?
16:46Excuse me, can I help you in something?
17:16For us, I keep it safe. We are a devoted community.
17:22But we never see the burns here.
17:25We see the iris falling out of bars, lying on the beach, worshipping the sun, pink like ham.
17:34And now they want to rent this place like it is a nightclub.
17:38It's the same in Ireland, I'm afraid.
17:40And what do you do to discourage that attitude?
17:43Well, I pray.
17:45You pray.
17:47What else can be done?
17:49We have termites.
17:52And the church termites?
17:54And how much does it cost to get rid of termites?
17:582,000 euros.
18:042,000 euros?
18:05The closest church is 40 miles away. You can call him.
18:09My phone doesn't allow for overseas telephone calls, so I...
18:13It's fine.
18:14Yeah.
18:15It's fine now.
18:17Okay.
18:18Hello?
18:19Jerry, it's Vincent.
18:20I'm with the local priest, Father Sandoval, and he thinks a fee of 2,000 euros would be suitable for the use of the church this weekend.
18:27Great.
18:28You can tell that raisin-headed cunt exactly where to go with his 2,000 fucking blips.
18:42Jerry, I have the priest here with me, and the church has termites, and it's a very, very beautiful church, and they're really struggling with the termite problem.
18:57The nearest alternative church is 40 miles away.
19:01And it looks like a supermarket.
19:03A grand.
19:0418.
19:051100.
19:0618.
19:0717.
19:08He says a fee of 1,700 is extremely generous. He's absolutely beaming at that. Thank you so much.
19:21Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had to go. I had to go, Vincent.
19:23Yeah.
19:24Okay. Yeah.
19:25Massage booked.
19:26Okay. Talk to you. All right, Jerry. Thanks so much. Bye.
19:29Did you ever think you'd end up being of so little use to everyone?
19:38You did okay.
19:39Just looking at the bigger picture.
19:44Oh, a gift from Ireland. Protect you from fire and hunger. Although sadly, not termites.
19:52And who will protect you from those lunatics at the resort?
19:59Oh, yeah.
20:00I'm gonna get more champagne.
20:27Hello. Welcome back.
20:34Mum.
20:37You made it home safely?
20:38Yes. You did too, which was more in doubt perhaps.
20:42Yes. About that. There was some confusion at the shop. Something was smashed. Security thought it was us. By all accounts it wasn't. The lads swear blind.
20:52Actually, who can say what the truth is? I suppose we'll be using a different shop from now on.
20:57Yes, seems prudent.
21:00I saw the card come out to you after we drove off. Did he give you a hard time?
21:03No, not a hard time. But he did make me pay your bill.
21:08He didn't pay?
21:09No.
21:10No.
21:11Oh, that's not cool, Rory.
21:13Ran off the market without paying.
21:16I'll get my wallet.
21:17Who's gonna go back and pay tomorrow, Ava?
21:18Cheers for that.
21:19Wrap me out.
21:20I can't afford a hundred odd euro. I can't have my parishioners pay.
21:23I'm sure they've suffered enough.
21:40Have I done something to upset you?
21:42Yeah, actually. I know all about priests. Had a lot of them roaming the halls of my school.
21:49high school. I'm sorry for your bad experience. Of course you are. Your heart's broken, isn't
21:56it? You lads love feeling bad, don't you? Your faith breaks you down, so you think you're
22:05nothing, so you become obsessed with getting clean. Keeps your noses in the dirt, but it's
22:11not goodness, Father. Feeling bad is a dopamine hit, and you're just a junkie chasing a high.
22:19Here we are. I already paid him, Ava, just now. Yes, we did. Have a lovely evening. Oh, you
22:30too, Father. That's going to feel good. Amazing.
22:40Music.
22:42Land of family is friendly and delightful. There's animals. More goat than there's.
22:51.
22:58.
23:12.
23:13My wedding wife!
23:43I'm not me, I'm not me, I'm not me!
23:45I'm shaking!
23:47I'm shaking!
23:49Woohoo!
23:51Canary!
23:53Canary!
23:55I'm missing him!
23:57You're on a piano, the Garden's a priest.
23:59Oh no!
24:13Hey Daddy!
24:15Hey Daddy!
24:17Oh no!
24:21No!
24:23No!
24:25No!
24:27No!
24:29No!
24:31No!
24:35No! No! No! No!
25:02Are you okay?
25:03She was just bitten by...
25:05A Portuguese man-of-war or whatever!
25:07Like this giant fucking jellier!
25:08Okay, I'll find the lifeguard!
25:09There isn't time!
25:10But what do you mean? She's going to be okay!
25:12No, what about anaphylactic shock? She already has asthma!
25:15I don't think that means anything in this context.
25:17I can't pee on her literally just sweat like 10 minutes ago, can you?
25:21What?
25:22It's the cure! I saw it on an episode of Friends!
25:24No, I will not do this.
25:26Just wait here.
25:27See? A jellyfish sting.
25:30What do I want to do?
25:31See.
25:35You're Karen Byrne.
25:38How do you know?
25:40I'm, uh...
25:41I'm Father Vincent O'Keefe.
25:42I'm officiating at your sister Niamh's wedding.
25:45I'm waiting.
25:49Whatever that.
25:50I'll leave you to us.
25:51I'll leave you to us.
25:52Oh, God.
25:53에센터
26:02No희
26:03No희
26:10No희
26:14Actually, father, I was wondering what makes a person good.
26:17What makes a person good?
26:19But that's a
26:21That's a big question for a young girl on holiday
26:23Yeah, but like you can give someone money and like things but if you're also just a two-faced liar then aren't you bad?
26:30Well, we
26:32We contain
26:35We contain multitudes
26:37People themselves aren't good or bad Karen people are people and they do
26:42Good and bad things
26:44Stalin wasn't bad
26:46There's a scale
26:47It just feels like the world is full of people who don't care about other people's feelings
26:51I know the world can seem that way Karen will
26:54But for the good in people it's there
26:58You sure about that?
26:59Yes
27:02I promise
27:10You weren't followed were you?
27:12Seriously?
27:13No, not seriously
27:16Moolah for the Padre for the rent of his hall
27:22I wasn't expecting to have to haggle with the priest
27:25Nah, you did good, I'd have paid double
27:27You would?
27:28Yeah, that's the real world father, you know?
27:31Mocking bullets, flying everywhere
27:33Although, I am being financially gang banged this week
27:36I don't know who's doing what to me
27:39I know, I know
27:40Six ways from Sunday
27:41So what did you want to discuss?
27:43Oh yeah
27:45Right, so this is
27:47It's delicate
27:48Um, my youngest daughter Karen, she's 14 years old
27:53And there's a French girl, an exchange with her at all times, Elodie
27:57Yeah, you'll meet them
27:59So Karen found something on my phone
28:03Something incompatible with my being a married man
28:08Yeah?
28:09Okay, and she's given me an ultimatum
28:13Like I said, very, very pious young woman
28:16What ultimatum?
28:18Okay, I have until the wedding to tell Sandra about this thing
28:24Or Karen will
28:26Out of loyalty to her mother
28:29And this thing, this thing on your phone
28:32This thing that's incompatible with you being a married man
28:34Do we need to go into details?
28:36We do not
28:37Good, because I would rather not, er, do that
28:43Would you like to pray?
28:45Well, you seem to be struggling with feelings of shame
28:48And sometimes it can help to ask for help with that
28:51Um, right
28:53Er, yeah
28:55Like here
28:56Yes, here
28:59Okay
29:00I mean
29:01Can't harm anything, can it?
29:04In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
29:06Amen
29:08Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name
29:11My kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven
29:15Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses
29:18As we forgive those who trespass against us
29:21And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil
29:24Amen
29:25This thing on your phone
29:26Ah no, we said we'd leave that Father
29:27You are entitled to an interior life, you know?
29:28Yeah
29:29And to privacy?
29:30Yeah
29:31As long as no law of the land has been broken
29:32Yeah
29:33As long as no law of the land has been broken
29:34And, like, I haven't done anything
29:35Desire is ever-present in all species
29:36Desire unacted upon is common enough
29:37Yes
29:38Your vow to your wife is of faith
29:39Well, that's me, you know?
29:40Faithful
29:41So, do nothing, and I'm grand
29:42I think that's okay
29:43Brilliant

29:46Ah, cheers Ben
29:47Alright, I better head back to the club
29:48She'll think I'm dead, or I'll get her hopes up

31:48Thanks for calling me. My phone doesn't allow for overseas calls.
32:06You'll see the withdrawal from the local Canarian bank and I'll endeavor to pay it back for my stipend.
32:12It's a stupid, stupid... Hello? Hello?
32:16Hello?
32:16Let's go.

33:18Jerry Byrne's contribution towards your problem with the termites.
33:24Please say my thanks to Mr. Byrne.
33:36Say my thanks to Mr. Byrne.
33:38I will.
33:40Did you enjoy mass?
33:42The full house.
33:44Ears cooked.
33:45Heads bowed.
33:46I have my mission.
33:48I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next.
33:52All your money back.
33:53Yes.
33:54Father.
33:55Father.
33:56Isn't it?
33:58Care to stand and have a drink with a housemate?
34:02Father.
34:03Father.
34:04Father.
34:05Father.
34:06Isn't it?
34:07Care to stand and have a drink with a housemate?
34:09I lost the sum of money earlier earlier at the pier.
34:12You were there.
34:13Sum of money.
34:18Yes.
34:19A sum of money?
34:34Yes.
34:38I didn't see your money, Father. Come on, sit down. I'm buying.
34:42Come on, I just got here. Everyone else is asleep.
34:46All of my lonesome.
34:50Are you a beer guy?
34:54Or maybe more of the blood of Christ?
34:58I'll have a tea.
35:00A tea, says he.
35:02OK.
35:04OK.
35:06Um, hola.
35:08Uno cup of tea, por favor.
35:10Gracias.
35:12Do you not drink?
35:14Uh, no.
35:16Did you ever?
35:18Yes.
35:20Mm-hmm.
35:22You saw me down at the pier earlier?
35:24Engaged in a bit of nefarious beeswax.
35:26I didn't see anything.
35:28Yes.
35:30Well, just so you know, it's just something recreational.
35:32Something for the house for the week.
35:34Nothing for you to worry about.
35:36And definitely nothing for you to talk about.
35:38But I think you're probably way ahead of me there, aren't you?
35:40You have a strange impression of me, from where I don't know.
35:44Well, you're an authority figure, Father.
35:46Oh, you think?
35:48When was the last time you consulted a priest about anything important in your life?
35:50Uh, actually, just last year, one of my best girlfriends, she had an abortion.
35:54Sorry.
35:56And I did pray about that. It was wild.
35:58With a member of the church?
36:00Direct line.
36:02Well, I hope it helped.
36:04Oh, it did.
36:06Yeah, the praying. It's class.
36:08And who were you praying to?
36:10Yeah, I don't know. I think I might even have a breakdown, to be honest.
36:14Do you believe in God?
36:18I believe in something.
36:20Have you ever heard of ayahuasca?
36:24The drug?
36:26Not the drug. Ayahuasca is like the gateway to spiritual revelations, Father.
36:32I tried it last year, Sayulita.
36:34Mexico.
36:38I saw a god, Father.
36:40Oh, yeah.
36:42Aren't you lucky?
36:43Yeah, maybe.
36:44He was a horse.
36:45Yes, of course. I see.
36:47Does that tally with your own findings near the horse?
36:50I'm a god who is everywhere and not in one place only.
36:54Yeah, so like a talking horse, is that cool with you?
36:58Enjoy your holiday.
36:59Are you off already?
37:00I am.
37:01Come on, sit down. Drink your tea.
37:03I hope we didn't piss you off.
37:05You don't seem serious to me.
37:07What?
37:08I'm not sure why would you be here on holiday.
37:11Do you not believe me about all that ayahuasca?
37:13I didn't mean to offend you, okay?
37:15I'm just...
37:16You're just a little bit bored, okay?
37:17I'm actually a bit stoned.
37:19If I'm honest, I'm like...
37:21They're all asleep. I've just...
37:22I've no one to talk to, so...
37:25Sit with your thoughts.
37:27Unless, of course, you're worried about what you might find.
37:37This will break.
37:41Uh, so, yeah, I'm buying something.
37:46It's a baby.
37:47It's a second plan.
38:03Great minds.
38:05Oh, actually, I don't drink.
38:08I was going to add this to your collection.
38:10Well, come and join us.
38:11It's... it's been a long day.
38:12Well, you're one of the gang now, Father.
38:15Okay.
38:16Cheers.
38:23Gang, Father Benson is going to join us.
38:25Hi.
38:26Say hi.
38:27Say hi to everyone.
38:28So you've got Orla, Claire, Ben, Margo, Aaron, Sinead, Susie, Rory, and Cormen.
38:34Hello.
38:35Hello.
38:36You just missed the bride and groom, Father.
38:37Oh, they were here?
38:38They were.
38:39Wipe a dinner in town.
38:40Oh.
38:41Oh.
38:42Oh.
38:43Oh.
38:44Oh.
38:45They were.
38:46They were.
38:47Oh.
38:48Oh.
38:49Oh.
38:50Oh.
38:51Oh.
38:52Oh.
38:53Oh.
38:54Oh.
38:55Oh.
38:56So, Father.
38:57school with Jerry Byrne back in the olden days. You were in school with Mr Byrne, don't believe it.
39:03What was he like? Oh, he was, uh, he was a scammer. Of course he was, he still is.
39:12Ever had an apparition, Father? I felt the presence of God at points in my journey, yes.
39:19How does it feel? It feels like love.
39:21Oh my God. That must be so nice to know that you're not alone, to feel that something's there.
39:32It's probably a matter of being open to it. I'm just not up for that though.
39:36Well, you're not up for it or not able for it. Well, that's the life of an artist, having an open mind.
39:45You're a DJ, an artist, can't you keep an open mind? I've done ayahuasca, bro. Oh, you did a drug, yay.
39:51What's your point, Cormel? Well, my point is, it can be more profound to look into the void,
39:55than take a drug that paints over the void with distracting shapes and colours.
40:08Sorry! Glenn, I'm sorry, just have another drink.
40:14A far greater percentage of people have faith at the end of their lives. I know my dad did.
40:19Yes, we, we go to God when we need him.
40:23Hmm, insurance.
40:25Well, it's, it's beguiling to hear that it all meant something in the end,
40:31even if you suspect it might be a lie.
40:33I'm sure you've made your mark, Father.
40:40We should absolutely do a seance.
40:42No!
40:43No, this, this is where I leave you.
40:45Is the seance bad? Sorry, is the seance bad?
40:49Is it bad?
40:50I think I'll take a walk.
40:53Good night all.
40:54Good night, Father.
40:57Good night, Father.
40:58Good night, Father.
40:59Good night, Father.
41:01He's so cute.
41:01It's so cute.
41:10Ugh.
41:13Cheeky fag.
41:14nothing like it to make you feel young
41:21can you believe nobody knows I smoke
41:25Karen would murder me
41:27what do you make of all this manicured green
41:32I think of thirsty children in Africa
41:36of course you do
41:38is there a reason I'm here Sandra
41:42it's your job no
41:44well you could have asked any old priest from your parish in Dublin
41:47okay
41:53okay
41:56fine
41:59do you remember
42:02that big night
42:05back when we were all students you me and Jerry
42:07it was more than one big night Sandra
42:09we were camping in Le Hinch
42:11ring a bell
42:13we'd taken magic mushrooms
42:15ones that we'd picked and dried back in Dublin
42:19up in the hills in Rathfarnham
42:22no I wasn't there
42:23no you weren't there when we picked them
42:24no but you were there in Le Hinch
42:26when we brewed them up and drank them
42:27we were laughing like hyenas for a while and Jerry and I had a fight about god knows what and off he went somewhere
42:38and I came and found you
42:39and we were left alone in the dunes by the tents we found some more wine the bottom of Jerry's sleeping bag you knew he'd stashed it there
42:52yeah it was a trick from school
42:55trick from school yeah
42:56yeah
42:56you were talking about giving up your study and getting a job do you remember you were having a crisis of faith and doubts about your vocation
43:08we drank wine from the neck of the bottle
43:15there on the dunes
43:18the cork pushed down into it by the
43:24lost heads of the camping fork
43:27them whiskey got somehow
43:31yeah it was mine
43:32yours
43:33yours
43:34yeah
43:35and we were looking up at the stars
43:39and then we were kissing
43:44I feel such remorse about that
43:50did I propel you into the priesthood that night Vincent?
43:56were you that disgusted by what we did?
43:58I betrayed my friend
43:59I betrayed Jerry's friendship
44:01that was a source of shame to me
44:03it still is
44:03well one thing that did happen is by god you found your faith again and
44:08six weeks
44:09yeah six weeks after that night
44:13Jerry and I got engaged

44:54does Jerry know?
45:10no one knows
45:11not even Niamh
45:12no
45:12feels cruel you tell me like this
45:15I think it's a kindness
45:16because you should be here
45:19to witness this
45:20but you aren't a close enough friend of the family for me to have invited you without
45:24raising some kind of suspicion with Jerry
45:26and this way
45:27you get to be here
45:28my god you should have told me
