00:03Jesus, Fergal. I'm glad to see you haven't lost that ferocious duck hook.
00:08Provisional ball, you're not gonna get that.
00:09Were you aiming for the house there?
00:10That scabby frockers never gonna let that one go.
00:14That's an eight euro golf ball.
00:17Oh look, we're breaking and entering now.
00:55Would he have helped me if he knew I was a priest?
00:59Would he then have called the cops or would he have used that club in his hand to push me
01:03deeper underwater?
01:10Nobody has much use for a priest these days, dead or alive.
01:14Found it! I can take a swing from here. Watch out!
01:20That's actually a good recovery, I'm not gonna lie.
01:22But I do have one last rite to perform.
01:26I'm the dead body.
01:28And these stories always begin with one of those.
01:32There's such comfort in repetition, isn't there?
01:35It's a bit like mass.
01:38Please don't assume I'm some kind of pervert just because I'm dead and I'm wearing the collar.
01:42I know we haven't covered ourselves in glory over the last little while, but respectfully, nor have you.
01:49And you people make solemn promises all the time.
01:52My job is to hear how you broke those sacred vows and then to help you find peace.
01:57Well, now that my era of giving a toppenny fuck what people think is well and truly over, here's the
02:04gospel.
02:05One week before, I arrived in Tenerife to officiate at the wedding of an old friend's daughter.
02:37You want some air conditioning?
02:39Oh no, let us save the planet.
02:41A little mortification of the flesh is good for me.
02:46Are you here for a wedding?
02:48Ah, yes, I'm officiating at the wedding.
02:52I'm a priest, a Catholic priest from Ireland.
02:55Ah.
03:11Excuse me, excuse me.
03:12This can't be mine.
03:13My host assured me of a small room here for the week.
03:16This is yours.
03:17This is the address.
03:22본ium is mostly on your phone.
03:25We're texting it Vielen, doskouzade.
03:25Where's some strange Commissioner?
03:37Haha, look, I found it.
03:43He gyping at our flock?
03:44No right now, if we don't have to be so more organized.
03:47Can't just jump in and out of the hill,
03:55Someone dialed a priest?
03:59Hello.
04:01Father Vincent O'Keefe, how do you do?
04:03Hola, padre.
04:05Have you lost your way?
04:07I don't know.
04:08By all accounts, I'm staying here.
04:11Are you a friend of Sandra and Jerry's, yeah?
04:13Yes.
04:14Seems a bit topped in the skull they have you subjected to sharing with us.
04:18But, uh, they're calling the shots, you know?
04:23Hey-ho.
04:24Okay, so, dear, so dear.
04:27Come on, we'll find you a manger.
04:31Now, Rory.
04:33There an hour.
04:34Cormac, Ava, Claire, the Huns.
04:36Weather.
04:38Sofas.
04:40Chair.
04:43Kitchen.
04:47Almonds.
04:51Hallway.
04:53Let's call a spade a spade.
04:57And, boom.
05:01Look, uh, real talk, padre.
05:04I'm sorry, I just have to say it, you know?
05:06Let's get it out of the way now.
05:07I'm delighted you're here.
05:08But this lot, it's like...
05:11This is their holiday.
05:12They've all taken annual leave to be here.
05:14They're my best mates in the whole entire world.
05:15And I don't think they'll be happy to kind of curtail their behaviour just because they're
05:19sharing with a priest.
05:20Seems mental to take that.
05:23That's fine to say, isn't it?
05:25Best in the long-run vibes.
05:27Just a couple of lads being straight with each other, you know?
05:30Man of the cloth to one, uh, lack thereof.
05:34Cool.
05:35Quessies?
05:37Zero quessies.
05:38Fuego.
05:39Wi-Fi password is Tenerife4life, capital T, number four.
05:43Life is L-Y-F.
05:44All our case, all one word.
05:45And, uh, you're flying.
05:47Good man.
05:51Actually, it's Tenerife spelled wrong, so it's R-E-E-F.
06:13I don't know if he looks like that.
06:15He looks a bit more like Donald.
06:19I think, by the way, it's a bit fucking weird having a priest wandering around in a living
06:23room in the middle of the night.
06:24He's just a person.
06:25A human person.
06:27Mmm.
06:29Yes!
06:30Maybe they're trying to stop us from going mad.
06:32No, Jeff, stop that.
06:34You know, with I to die, he was an absolute last minute dot com.
06:37All the hotels were booked tight.
06:39Yeah, but I mean, they do have priests in Spain.
06:41Hmm, apparently Sandra was like, we need this one guy for the big day.
06:45Ah, no, look.
06:46Look, I've had a little word, Björk, and he knows to be cool.
06:50Otherwise, he'll be fucked out on his ear hall.
06:53Muy rapido, molto pronto.
06:55And you'll be doing that, will you?
07:05Oh, hi, Father.
07:09I got a text.
07:12Um, Mia.
07:13Um, Mia.
07:14No drugs are to be taken at our wedding, and we'd really appreciate it if you refrained
07:18from drinking alcohol the day before, so you'd be fully present to appreciate the day.
07:22Ah?
07:24Nobody wants to be a carrot in 2025.
07:27You might as well have called me Heil Hitler.
07:28I'm changing my name when I go to boarding school next year.
07:31You can't stop me.
07:31Dad said it's okay.
07:32Your dad will literally say anything to avoid an argument.
07:35You're so fucking controlling.
07:37I'm trying to do what's best for you, and even though you clearly hate me, you need to be at
07:41home.
07:41I don't think boarding school is...
07:43I don't think I'm going to be at home, but I don't think I'm going to be at home.
08:13I don't think I'm going to be at home, but I don't think I'm going to be at home.
08:43Oh.
08:48Hiya.
08:50Ava.
08:51Oh, uh, Vincent.
08:53Bride or groom?
08:54Uh, both.
08:55Or neither.
08:56I'm, I'm the priest.
08:58We'll all be on the bride's side of the aisle.
09:00The last two are arriving tomorrow.
09:01And I'm singing a little song of the happy couple.
09:05What are you singing?
09:07Let's see if you can guess.
09:08Close your eyes.
09:10Give me your hand, darling.
09:13Do you feel my heart beating?
09:18Wow.
09:20Those good memories.
09:21Memories, anyway.
09:24Yes, I always liked that one.
09:25Shit.
09:28How are you going to get back with all that water?
09:29Oh, walking.
09:30Don't mind the walk.
09:31Oh, we can give you a lift, I'm sure.
09:32No, no, thank you.
09:33Walking is good.
09:33Let's go.
09:34Now.
09:35No, I...
09:35Can we squeeze one more in?
09:36No, no, no, no, thank you.
09:37Are you mad?
09:50Come inside and pay.
09:52Oh, I already paid.
09:53I have my receipt.
09:54Your friends didn't pay.
09:56Well, they're not my friends.
09:58I saw you talking.
10:00Where do they live?
10:03How much is it?
10:05148 euros.
10:10English people are that of the lessons.
10:15Father?
10:17Father?
10:19Father?
10:27Hiya, Father.
10:28Jerry Byrne wants to buy you lunch.
10:30What time is it?
10:31I feel like it's three.
10:42I hope you're waiting for something, Father.
10:47I hope you're waiting for something, Father.
10:49It's cold.
10:50It should be so fresh.
10:51No, I don't...
10:54Well, I don't know.
10:54People are getting offended.
10:55You can't say anything at all.
10:57You'll be offended by a child, guys.
10:58Look at what it is.
10:59Oh, good siesta.
11:01You've got the...
11:02You've got the thing in there.
11:05Oh.
11:11Vincent, this is Caroline.
11:13Hello, Father.
11:14So nice to meet you.
11:15And this is her husband, Fergal.
11:17Hey, Adrie.
11:17Lovely place.
11:19Do you know what?
11:19I think the kitchen might be closed.
11:21They'll whip the holy man up a platter of croquettes.
11:24No, no.
11:25Hang on.
11:25Hang on.
11:27Croquettes?
11:28Yeah?
11:28Patatas fritas here?
11:30We won't see you go hungry, Father.
11:32Have some wine.
11:33No, no.
11:34It's fine.
11:34Go on.
11:35Have a glass of wine.
11:36Go on.
11:37It's the summer.
11:37No, no, no.
11:38Thank you, someone.
11:39That's not the Vincent I remember.
11:40The pre-ordained Vincent was a fucking wild man.
11:44He was...
11:45Huh?
11:46The road to Damascus.
11:50Would you get the poor father some water he's parched?
11:53Would you rather a shandy?
11:54No.
11:55Tap water.
11:55Tap water's fine.
11:57So listen.
11:57It's just great you could join us for the wedding.
11:59You know, it's been a long, long time.
12:01Well, John, your offer to the church heating fund back home was extremely generous.
12:05I informed the parish coffers would be swollen by my trip here and they were very pleased.
12:10I didn't think we'd have to bribe you.
12:12Well, not a bribe per se.
12:13Not a bribe.
12:14Just a dig out.
12:15St. Teresa's is fucking Baltic in the depths of winter.
12:18How would you know?
12:19You haven't darkened the door of a church in, I feel like, decades.
12:22Alan's funeral.
12:24Ah, yeah.
12:25Right.
12:25Include your brother in my prayers often.
12:28It was a great funeral.
12:29Even though I felt like fucking Vim Hof.
12:32Now listen.
12:33It'd be great if you could swing by the church and meet the padre before the big day.
12:37It'll talk to him.
12:38Do we need an organist?
12:40Do we need parking?
12:42Can we throw rice or is it problematic for local pigeons?
12:45His name's Sandoval.
12:47He's expecting you.
12:48He's a harmless poor table, isn't he?
12:50Huh?
12:50He's very nice.
12:51Yeah, grand.
12:52Well, I'll drop by tomorrow.
12:54I was hoping to get mass anyway.
12:55There you go.
12:57Oh, so I was wondering when and where it might be best for me to meet the bride and groom.
13:00I don't have their numbers yet.
13:03Why?
13:04Well, I'd like to talk to them.
13:09About their commitment.
13:10Oh.
13:11Oh.
13:12Oh, no, it isn't.
13:13They're very busy.
13:14The bride, sadly, has had to fly over her dress fitter for an emergency refit because she's
13:18been sucking ice cubes for the guts of a month and doesn't remotely resemble the woman who
13:23bought the dress half a year ago.
13:24Not a pig on a stomach.
13:26Meanwhile, the groom is up the walls with his family, who are, frankly, fucking batshit.
13:32He's trying to sell his company and he's got to organise the golf tournament, do a stag
13:37with his buddies, do a rehearsal dinner and try to find a minute to relax and have a beer
13:41or two.
13:42Hello.
13:42Have they no plans to meet me before I officiate?
13:45Well, that's kind of my...
13:47We're meeting.
13:49Well, it's lovely to see you both again after all this time, but I'd really like to get
13:54an idea of who they are so I could write a sermon that fits somewhat.
14:00I don't think a sermon's a good idea.
14:02They're not religious.
14:03The things should be more bing-bang-bosh.
14:05No frills.
14:06The Ryanair of masses.
14:09We love Michael O'Leary.
14:11I wouldn't say love.
14:12I respect the man greatly, yes.
14:14I'm struggling to understand why they want a priest in the first place.
14:18They want a Catholic wedding.
14:20Why?
14:21That's what people do, isn't it?
14:23I wouldn't have said so, not these days.
14:25If they're going to have children and they want those children to have the best education,
14:28we all know that the best educational establishments in Ireland are owned by the church.
14:33They're kind of getting their ducks in a row, all that from them.
14:36Rightly so.
14:36I don't see why my grandchildren should be sacrificial lambs on the altar of some unknown educational establishment.
14:43They're future-proofing, you know?
14:45Could they not have asked a local priest from here like this father, Sandoval?
14:50Well, no, that part was us.
14:51Because we wanted you.
14:53Vincent, we wanted you.
14:55On this occasion.
14:57Yes, we did.
14:58We wanted an old friend.
15:00I'm a friend of the family.
15:03Oh, sorry.
15:05Aww.
15:07Really lovely.
15:08And you get a warm church back in Dublin for the forthcoming winters, you know, by the sounds of it.
15:12And some sun on your bones.
15:14You promise me you'll get some sun, you'll look cadaverous.
15:17Really bad.
15:18You must be hungry, Father.
15:19Oh, you are in for a treat.
15:20Those croquettes are delicious.
15:22No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, thank you, no, no, no, no, thank you so
15:26much.
15:26Just water, please, please.
15:27Yeah, I'll put it in.
15:28I fucking hope so.
15:29Yeah.
15:30Did you notice the roundabout on your drive in here?
15:34The triangular roundabout.
15:35On it?
15:35Here in Spain, they make triangular roundabouts.
15:38I mean, the Spanish are fucking more.
15:40They can't say things like that.
15:41Anyway, Caroline was just saying that we should get the golf club to commission a sculpture for it.
15:46It's such a great idea.
15:48Super.
15:48Yeah, my son, Fintan, was learning sculpture in rehab, so I might get him to do it.
15:53Something to keep him occupied.
15:55The devil has made a lot of work for those idle fucking hands.
15:57Excuse my French.
15:59Sorry.
15:59Although, although, a female Irish artist would be so great, you know, in this day and age.
16:04My wife has the soul of an artist.
16:06Mm-hmm.
16:08And your wife parked that part of her life in order to raise your children, and none of us would
16:11be here if she hadn't.
16:13No.
16:27Vincent, yes?
16:29Um, would you have a minute to talk to me about something else?
16:34Um, maybe tomorrow?
16:35Is everything okay?
16:36Oh, God, yeah, everything's grand.
16:39I just, I could do with your counsel.
16:42Um, a confidential ear.
16:45Hmm.
16:45Um, would you like a formal confession?
16:47I'm sure that can be conducted in a church.
16:50Oh, nothing like that.
16:51No, no, no.
16:52I was thinking something more along the lines of a, of a chat, you know?
16:56Yeah.
16:57I'll text you, but.
16:59Yeah.
16:59Tomorrow morning?
17:00Something like that?
17:01Mm-hmm.
17:02Um, bring your vow of silence with you.
17:07Um, bring your vow.
17:07Um, bring your vow.
17:26Um, bring your vow.
17:27I'll see you next time.
17:57You're looking very beautiful.
18:00The women clean the relics.
18:03Children from school sweep the floors.
18:06Nuns polish the brass.
18:09I keep it safe.
18:10We are a devoted community.
18:13But we never see the burns here.
18:16Just we see the iris falling out of bars,
18:20lying on the beach,
18:22worshipping the sun,
18:24pink like ham.
18:26And now they want to rent this place like it is a nightclub.
18:30It's the same in Ireland, I'm afraid.
18:32And what do you do to discourage that attitude?
18:35Well, I pray.
18:38You pray.
18:39Well, what else can be done?
18:41We have termites.
18:45And the church, termites.
18:48And how much does it cost to get rid of termites?
18:52Two thousand euros.
18:58Two thousand euros.
18:59The closest charge is 40 miles away.
19:02You can call him.
19:03My phone doesn't allow for overseas telephone calls,
19:06so I... I...
19:07Here.
19:08I'm sorry, no.
19:12Okay.
19:26Hello.
19:28Jerry, it's Vincent. I'm with the local priest, Father Sandoval, and he thinks a fee of 2,000 euro would
19:35be suitable for the use of the church this weekend.
19:38Great. You can tell that raisin-headed cunt exactly where to go with his 2,000 fucking blips.
19:43Jerry, I have the priest here with me, and the church has termites, and it's a very, very beautiful church,
19:50and they're really struggling with the termite problem.
19:55The nearest alternative church is 40 miles away.
19:58And it looks like a supermarket.
20:00A grand.
20:0118.
20:031100.
20:0518.
20:0717.
20:12He says a fee of 1,700 is extremely generous. He's absolutely beaming at that. Thank you so much.
20:19Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have to go. I have to go, Vincent.
20:21Okay, yeah.
20:23Massage booked.
20:23Okay, talk to you. All right, Jerry. Thanks so much. Bye.
20:26Bye.
20:31Did you ever think you'd end up being of so little use to everyone?
20:36You did okay.
20:37He's looking at the bigger picture.
20:42Oh, a gift from Ireland.
20:45Protect you from fire and hunger.
20:48Although, sadly, not termites.
20:51And who will protect you from those lunatics at the resort?
21:06I look forward.
21:10I look forward to the hang of you.
21:15I look forward to falling.
21:16I look forward to, and it's going to be sleeping.
21:20I go again.
21:22That tree is so Jest.
21:24I am getting back to therank house.
21:24You're figuring the crazy thing out of this person.
21:26I'm going to get more champagne.
21:31Hello, welcome back.
21:36Come on.
21:39You made it home safely?
21:40Yes.
21:41You did too, which was more in doubt, perhaps.
21:45Yes.
21:46About that, there was some confusion at the shop.
21:49Something was smashed.
21:50Security thought it was us.
21:51By all accounts, it wasn't.
21:52The lads were blind.
21:55Actually, who can say what the truth is?
21:57I suppose we'll be using a different shop from now on.
22:00Yes, seems prudent.
22:03I saw the card come at you after he drove off.
22:05Did he give you a hard time?
22:06Uh, no, not a hard time.
22:08But he did make me pay your bill.
22:11You didn't pay?
22:13No.
22:14Oh, that's not good, Roy.
22:17Ran off the market without paying.
22:20I'll get my wallet.
22:21Who's going to go back and pay tomorrow, Ava?
22:30Cheers for that.
22:32Wrap me out?
22:34I can't afford the hundred-odd euro.
22:37I can't have my parishioners pay.
22:40I'm, uh, sure they've suffered enough.
22:44Have I done something to upset you?
22:46Yeah, actually.
22:48I know all about priests.
22:50Had a lot of them, uh, roaming the halls of my school.
22:56I'm sorry for your bad experience.
22:58Yeah, of course you are.
22:59Your, uh, heart's broken, isn't it?
23:03You lads love feeling bad, don't you?
23:06Your, um, your faith breaks you down.
23:09So you think you're nothing.
23:11So you become obsessed with getting clean.
23:14Keeps your noses in the dirt, but...
23:16It's not goodness, Father.
23:19Feeling bad as a dopamine hit.
23:21And you're just a junkie.
23:22Chasing a high.
23:26Here we are.
23:27I already paid him, Ava.
23:29Just now.
23:32Yes, me did.
23:34Have a lovely evening.
23:36Oh, you too, Father.
23:41Woo!
23:42Woo!
23:43Okay!
23:43That's gonna feel good.
23:45Yeah.
23:46Amazing.
23:54Word on the move.
23:56Word on the move.
23:56Word on the move.

26:25She's going to be okay.
26:26What about an anaphylactic shock?
26:28She already has asthma.
26:29I don't think that means anything in this context.

33:48It is a stupid, stupid... Hello? Hello?
34:29I'll see you soon.
34:47I'll see you soon.
34:51I'll see you soon.
35:19I will.
35:20Did you enjoy mass? A full house? Ears cooked, heads bowed?
35:26I have my mission. I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the
35:31next.
35:32I'll see you soon.
35:39I'll see you soon.
36:20I'll see you soon.
36:28I'll see you soon.
36:29Come on.
36:30I just got here.
36:31Everyone else is asleep.
36:33I am all alone, son.
36:40Are you a beer guy?
36:42Well, maybe more of the blood of Christ.
36:45I'll have a tea.
36:47A tea, says he.
36:49Okay.
36:51Hola.
36:52Uno cup of tea, por favor.
36:55Gracias.
36:58Do you not drink?
36:59Uh, no.
37:01Did you ever?
37:03Yes.
37:05Mm-hmm.
37:07You saw me down at the pier earlier.
37:11Engaged in a bit of nefarious beeswax.
37:13I didn't see anything.
37:14Yes.
37:16Well, just so you know, it's just something recreational.
37:18Something for the house for the week.
37:20Not for you to worry about.
37:22And definitely not for you to talk about.
37:24But I think you're probably way ahead of me there, aren't you?
37:27You have a strange impression of me from where I don't know.
37:31Well, you're an authority figure, Father.
37:34Oh, you think?
37:35When was the last time you consulted a priest about anything important in your life?
37:38Uh, actually, just last year, one of my best girlfriends, she had an abortion.
37:42Sorry.
37:43And I did pray about that.
37:45It was wild.
37:45Was a member of the church?
37:48Direct line.
37:51Well, I hope it helped.
37:53Oh, yeah, it did.
37:54Yeah, the praying.
37:55It was class.
37:57Who were you praying to?
37:59Yeah, I don't know.
37:59I think I might have been having a breakdown, to be honest.
38:02Do you believe in God?
38:07I believe in something.
38:10Have you ever heard of ayahuasca?
38:13The drug?
38:15No, the drug.
38:16Ayahuasca is like the gateway to spiritual revelations, Father.
38:21I tried it last year, Sayulita.
38:23Mexico.
38:27I saw a God, Father.
38:30Oh, yeah.
38:31Aren't you lucky?
38:32Yeah, maybe.
38:34He was a horse.
38:35Yes, of course.
38:36I see.
38:37Does that tally with your own findings now at the horse?
38:40I'm a God who is everywhere and not in one place only.
38:46Yeah, so, like, a talking horse.
38:47Is that cool with you?
38:48Enjoy your holiday.
38:49Are you off already?
38:50I am.
38:51Come on, sit down.
38:52Drink your tea.
38:54I hope it didn't piss you off.
38:56You don't seem serious to me.
38:58What?
38:59I'm not sure why would you be here on holiday.
39:02Do you not believe me about all that ayahuasca?
39:04I didn't mean to offend you, okay?
39:06I'm just, I'm just a little bit bored, okay?
39:08I'm, I'm actually a bit stoned.
39:10If I'm honest, I'm like, they're all asleep.
39:13I've just, I've no one to talk to, so.
39:16Sit with your thoughts.
39:18Unless, of course, you're worried about what you might find.
39:29Small prick.
39:36Uh, so, yeah, um, bye for the summer plane.
39:39It's a baby.
39:40Go for the sick on Glenn.
39:56Great minds.
39:59Oh, actually, I, I, I don't drink.
40:01Uh, I was going to add this to your collection.
40:04Well, come and join us.
40:05It's, it's been a long day.
40:07Well, you're one of the gang now, Father.
40:10Okay.
40:11Cheers.
40:17Gang, Father Benton's going to join us.
40:20Hi.
40:21Say hi.
40:22Say hi to everyone.
40:23So you've got Orla, Claire, Ben, Margot, Aaron, Sinead, Susie, Rory, and Corman.
40:29Hello.
40:37You just missed the bride and groom, Father.
40:39Oh, they were here?
40:40They were.
40:41Went for dinner in town.
40:43Oh.
40:47So, Father, how do you know the family?
40:51I, uh, I went to school with Jerry Byrne back in the olden days.
40:56You were in school with Mr Byrne?
40:57Don't believe it.
40:58What was he like?
41:00Oh, he was, uh, he was a scammer.
41:03Oh, of course he was.
41:04He still is.
41:06Ugh.
41:07Ew, ew.
41:09Ever had an apparition, Father?
41:12I felt the presence of God at points in my journey, yes.
41:16How does it feel?
41:17It feels like love.
41:19Oh, my God.
41:20Ah.
41:23That must be so nice, to know that you're not alone.
41:28To feel that something's there.
41:30It's probably a matter of being open to it.
41:33Yeah, I'm just not up for that, though.
41:35Well, you're not up for it, or not able for it.
41:37Oh?
41:39Well, that's the life of an artist.
41:42Having an open mind.
41:43You're a DJ, an artist.
41:45Can't you keep an open mind?
41:46Oh.
41:46I've done ayahuasca, bro.
41:48Oh, you did a drug.
41:49Yay.
41:50What's your point, Cormel?
41:51Oh, my point is, it can be more profound to look into the void than take a drug that paints
41:58over the void with distracting shapes and colours.
42:00Oh, my point is...
42:02Oh, my point is...
42:05Oh, my point is...
42:07Oh, my point is...
42:09Glenn, I'm sorry.
42:09Just have another drink.
42:12Oh, my point is...
42:14Oh, my point is...
42:14Far a greater percentage of people have faith at the end of their lives.
42:17I know my dad did.
42:19Yes, we...
42:21We go to God when we need him.
42:24Insurance?
42:25Well, it's...
42:26It's beguiling to hear that it all meant something in the end.
42:31Even if you suspect it might be a lie.
42:35I'm sure you've made a mark, Father.
42:40We should absolutely do a séance.
42:43No, this...
42:45This is where I leave you.
42:47Is a séance bad?
42:49Sorry, is a séance bad?
42:51Is it bad?
42:52I think I'll take a walk.
42:54Good night, all.
42:56Good night, Father.
42:58Good night, Father.
42:59Good night, Father.
43:01Good night, Father.
43:01Good night, Father.
43:02Good night, Father.
43:02He's so cute.
43:15Cheeky fag.
43:22Nothing like it to make you feel young.
43:26Can you believe nobody knows I smoke?
43:28Karen would murder me.
43:34What do you make of all this manicured green, huh?
43:37I think of thirsty children in Africa.
43:40Of course you do.
43:42Of course you do.
43:44Is there a reason I'm here, Sandra?
43:46It's your job, no?
43:48Well, you could have asked any old priest from your parish in Dublin.
43:57Okay.
44:00Okay.
44:03Fine.
44:06Do you remember that big night back when we were all students, you, me and Gerry?
44:13It was more than one big night, Sandra.
44:15We were camping in Le Hinch, ring a bell.
44:19We'd taken magic mushrooms.
44:22Ones that we'd picked and dried back in Dublin, up in the hills in Rathfarnham.
44:28No, I wasn't there.
44:29No, you weren't there when we picked them, no.
44:31But you were there in Le Hinch when we brewed them up and drank them.
44:35We were laughing like hyenas for a while and Gerry and I had a fight about God knows what and
44:42off he went somewhere.
44:44And I came and found you.
44:48And we were left alone in the dunes, by the tents.
44:53We found some more wine at the bottom of Gerry's sleeping bag.
44:58You knew he'd stashed it there.
45:00Yeah, it was a trick from school.
45:02A trick from school, yeah.
45:05Yeah.
45:06You were talking about giving up your study and getting a job.
45:10Do you remember?
45:10You were having a crisis of faith and doubts about your vocation.
45:20We drank wine from the neck of the bottle.
45:25There on the dunes, the cork pushed down into it.
45:32By the pothead of the camping fork.
45:38Them whiskey got somehow.
45:40Yeah, it was mine.
45:41Yours.
45:42Yours.
45:43Yeah.
45:45And we were looking up at the stars.
45:52And then we were kissing.
45:58I feel such remorse about that.
46:02Did I propel you into the priesthood that night, Vincent?
46:06Were you that disgusted by what we did?
46:09I betrayed my friend.
46:11I betrayed Gerry's friendship.
46:13That was a source of shame to me.
46:14It still is.
46:15Well, one thing that did happen is, by God, you found your faith again.
46:19And six weeks...
46:22Yeah, six weeks after that night, Gerry and I got engaged.
46:28Do the math, as they say.
46:30What?
46:36Niamh.
46:51Jesus Christ.
46:56Yeah.
46:58About two years later, you were ordained.
47:01And I think that was because of me.
47:02Because of us.
47:03You weren't called, Vincent.
47:06You ran into the priesthood.
47:23Does Gerry know?
47:24No one knows.
47:25Not even Niamh?
47:26No.
47:28It feels cruel you tell me like this.
47:30I think it's a kindness.
47:32Because you should be here to witness this.
47:35But you aren't a close enough friend of the family for me to have invited you without
47:39raising some kind of suspicion with Gerry.
47:41And this way, you get to be here.
47:44My God, you should have told me!
47:46Anne, what?
47:47What?
47:48What would you have done?
47:49Would you have sent me to England?
47:53Or would I have made you leave the seminary?
47:56You just having reconnected with your God, you were never becoming a damn father.
48:00Don't kid yourself.
48:02What do I do now?
48:04Nothing.
48:07You just need to know that you're her father now so that you can, you can be consciously
48:13present during the ceremony.
48:15What if people find out?
48:17How could they?
48:19I'm telling you in your capacity as a priest, you have to know how to keep a secret.
48:25I don't know what to say.
48:27Say nothing.
48:39I don't want to feel your judgment this week.
48:44Because quite honestly, Father Vincent, my era of giving a toughenny fuck about what people
48:49think of me is now over.
48:50No, I don't want to be.
48:54How is it?
48:54I don't want to be.
48:55I don't want to be.
49:16I don't want to be.
49:17You need a father? Girls and boys? Something for everyone?
49:20Go fuck yourself.
49:32No one knows me.
49:34Say nothing.
49:35What would you have done?
49:37He ran to the priesthood.
49:38Nothing.
50:03You've never been a dad.
50:06Father, don't forget yourself.
50:15You were never becoming a dad, father.
50:17You should have told me!
50:24I love you all! I need to help you!
51:06I love you all!
51:17I love you all!
