01:01I don't remember what that feels like.
01:05I made a mistake years ago that I'm still paying for.
01:10What kind of mistake?
01:13I used to be somebody who created things that mattered.
01:18She had ideas and paint under her fingernails and she felt alive.
01:23What happened to her?
01:24She got married.
01:25My husband.
01:27He used to be so kind.
01:30Now he scares me.
01:32No one will judge you harshly for protecting yourself.
01:39I need to see you.
01:49You shouldn't have done that.
01:52You didn't stop me.
01:55I thought priests weren't supposed to look.
01:59We're not.
02:01But you are.
02:30I should be getting home.
02:32Sounds like you don't have a home.
02:35You have a house.
02:37You're probably right.
02:39But I've been gone too long.
02:50Where have you been?
02:52I went for a walk.
02:55I just wanted to let everything cool down.
03:03You don't get to disappear.
03:07You belong here.
03:23In our darkest moments, we seek connection.
03:30We seek to be seen.
03:51Father Sinclair.
03:52Father Sinclair.
03:52Hi.
03:52Marcus.
03:53This is my wife, Elena.
03:55My wife was an art teacher.
03:57Now she's just a housewife.
03:59We have an art program.
04:00We could use a volunteer.
04:02I probably.
04:03No, it'd be a great way to get you out of the house.
04:05Good.
04:06Father.
04:09Sage here is interning.
04:11Elena is a bona fide art teacher.
04:14Now you won't have to do it alone.
04:16I don't think I've ever been more grateful to meet someone in my life.
04:21Marcus, it was nice meeting you.
04:23Absolutely.
04:30How'd you go today?
04:32Really well.
04:34Honestly, this is the first time I've felt like myself in years.
04:37I'm glad.
04:41How's Marcus?
04:46You know, he taught me so much when we first met.
04:48I used to embarrass myself at a cocktail party.
04:53So, the important things.
04:57Maybe not important, but things I didn't know.
05:01Maybe you can teach me.
05:04Teach you what?
05:06We have annual fundraising guala in two weeks, and I just, I never know how to act.
05:11I'd be happy to help.
05:16Let me help you.
05:17Thanks.
05:24We look like a crime scene.
05:26We should clean this up.
05:28Yeah.
05:29Oh, no.
05:30You have it on your face.
05:39Elena.
05:41What?
05:45We can't.
05:50Of course, we're just cleaning up.
05:53Yeah, just cleaning up.
05:58Gabriel.
06:00Yeah?
06:02You're still holding my wrist.
06:04Am I?
06:15Oh, hi, Father.
06:17Elena was amazing today.
06:18The kids loved her.
06:20Ha.
06:20Uh, we had an accident with the paint.
06:27I'm going to go get the mop.
06:29I should go.
06:30I should go.
06:39Father Gabriel.
06:41Victoria.
06:42I was hoping I'd run into you.
06:46This is for the gala fun.
06:49You're so generous, Victoria.
06:53I'm just looking out for you, Gabriel.
06:58You know, the gala is only in two weeks, which doesn't give us much time to prepare.
07:06So, I'll see a lot of you.
07:14Yeah.
07:16Yeah.
07:39I know you're probably not there.
07:42I'm here.
07:44Since noon.
07:45On the chance you might come.
07:47Did you come to pray?
07:50I told myself that's why I came here.
07:52Was it?
07:53No.
07:55I've been sitting here telling myself that my concern is only for your will-being, your soul.
08:02And?
08:10Every day with him, you'd die a little boy.
08:15You shouldn't have spoken through a screen.
08:25Tell me to leave, and I'll go.
08:29No.
08:32Elena, I'm a priest.
08:35I took vows.
08:36I'm married.
08:37So did I.
08:39We're both going to lose everything.
08:48What was that?
08:51You have to leave.
08:53Now.
08:54But wait.
08:55Go.
08:56Go.
08:57Go.
08:57Go.
08:58Go.
09:01Go.
09:02Go.
09:03Go.
09:04Go.
09:05Go.
09:05Go.
09:23Delivering the message.
09:24Right.
09:27Okay.
09:28Well, who do I ask?
09:29Who's in charge of everything?
09:31Victoria Ashford.
09:33She runs a comedian, pray to much everything in this town.
09:37Anything big goes through her.
09:39Should I be worried?
09:41Well, if you're asking, you already know the answer.
09:50I don't like either of these, so we'll have to send those back and find new material for that.
09:54Hi.
09:56Found you guys.
09:57You must be Elena.
09:59Yep, way back there.
10:00Sit, listen, try not to slow us down.
10:02We are covering assignments right now.
10:04The artist liaison role, I'll handle that.
10:07Jonah relations, that's also me.
10:10Francine, you've got catering.
10:12And Elena, we're going to be on supply closet duty.
10:15It's filthy back there, but I'm sure you can manage.
10:19Sorry to interrupt.
10:22Just a quick note on the gala.
10:25Logistics.
10:26Father.
10:27Father, I was just saying how essential you are to all of this.
10:38Let's go over the finer details.
10:42Yeah?
10:42Shall we?
10:43This is a treat, everyone.
10:45Father has joined us.
10:48Well, actually, I think we all know enough to get started, so let's go.
10:53Oh, one last thing.
10:54The art supply order from Gloucester was never placed.
10:58Elena, this is your job now.
11:00Handle it.
11:02Father Sinclair will go with her.
11:04The vendor requires clergy authorization.
11:07I'm sure we can just call ahead and I'll handle that right now.
11:10Oh, I've tried.
11:11They require in-person signatures, so.
11:14Here.
11:16Take the van.
11:17Feedback by five.
11:20Elena.
11:22A moment.
11:24I just want to make sure that we're on the same page.
11:26This gala is the most important event St. Catherine's hosts.
11:30It funds our programs for the entire year.
11:32Just remember that this is a team effort.
11:36But I'm the captain.
11:44Sorry.
12:05This cadmium is so beautiful.
12:09It's, uh, paint?
12:12Mm-mm.
12:14It's a possibility.
12:15Every one of these is a decision you haven't made yet.
12:19Isn't that cool?
12:24You should see yourself right now.
12:28What do you mean?
12:31You're...
12:31you.
12:42I got it.
12:55we should check out.
12:57Yeah.
13:17I'm sorry
13:19I didn't mean to fall asleep
13:21Don't apologize
13:28Where are you?
13:29Your location says Gloucester
13:32Who are you with?
13:33What is it?
13:34Marcus
13:34He tracks my phone
13:43You're late
13:44Traffic
13:46What's up?
13:50You smell like paint
13:52You're reloading red supplies
13:56You seem really energized by all this church stuff
14:01Yeah, well
14:01Kids are great
14:04Gal is a big project
14:06Well, just remember why you're doing it
14:09Visibility
14:10Right?
14:11Not to reload your
14:11Little art
14:14Career
14:14Whatever
14:18Will you get me a drink?
14:20Mm-hmm
14:30Hey, Lena
14:31Can you put the arrangements up there?
14:33Of course
14:34Oh, yeah
14:50Put on my lips
14:54I think I do
14:59Get in my kicks
15:00Come with me
15:06You should use a letter
15:09I couldn't find one
15:12Well, maybe then you should have asked for help
15:16I don't like asking for help
15:19I'm not
15:28I, um
15:30I'm gonna
15:31Find the ladder
15:33Okay
15:43So?
15:44So what?
15:45Father Sinclair
15:49Don't
15:50I'm not judging
15:50I promise
15:51But I have eyes, Lena
15:53And so does everybody else in this room
15:54I'm worried
15:56About what happens if the wrong person sees what I saw today
15:59I don't know what I'm doing
16:01I know
16:02That's
16:03That's the part that worries me
16:04Just
16:05Whatever this is
16:07Be careful
16:10I know
16:11I have to go
16:18Marcus
16:21What are you doing here?
16:22I said you'd be home by seven
16:24It's nine
16:26Called you twice
16:27You didn't pick up
16:28I'm sorry
16:29The meeting ran late
16:30My phone was on silent
16:32The meeting, right?
16:35I don't like being ignored, Lena
16:37I'm sorry
16:43Elena
16:44I'm sorry I kept you for so long
16:46Marcus
16:48Good to see you
16:49I just needed her input
16:51On the children exhibition pieces
16:53Of course
16:55Well, we should
16:56We should get going, huh?
16:58Got an early morning tomorrow
17:06Good night, brother
17:07Stay safe
17:08Thanks for keeping an eye on her
17:09Of course
17:10Let's go
17:22Don't
17:28I became a priest
17:30To serve you
17:31To put myself aside
17:34And I have done that
17:35For 14 years
17:37Without complaint
17:38Without question
17:47I'm questioning now
17:48Every time I see her
17:50I don't think about salvation
17:52I think about the bruise
17:54On her face
17:55I think about
17:56The way she holds
17:57A paintbrush
17:58Like
17:58Is the only thing
17:59Keeping her alive
18:01I think about her hands
18:03Her lips
18:05And the way she said
18:06My name
18:07Tell me what to do
18:13Because
18:16I don't trust myself anymore
18:34What are you doing?
18:35Nothing
18:36Just thinking
18:37Yeah?
18:39Thinking about what?
18:41Gala
18:41There's a lot to do
18:44Don't stay up too late
18:46Thinking
18:50Turn the light off
18:51Yeah
18:54What am I doing?
19:00Elena, you're here early
19:02Good
19:04I was trying to get ahead
19:05On the name cards
19:11You know
19:12Gabriel is an excellent priest
19:14We're really lucky to have him
19:16We've been working closely together
19:18For a while
19:19Planning events
19:20Fundraising
19:21Late nights going over the budget
19:23Just the two of us
19:27But lately
19:28He doesn't seem to be as
19:30Available
19:30As he used to be
19:33And I can't help but wonder why
19:35He seems to have a lot of work
19:37Hmm
19:39I could be it
19:41But here's the thing
19:42I'm used to getting his
19:46Input
19:46On everything
19:48But lately
19:49I'm just not getting it
19:52So I can't help but wonder
19:54Is someone else
19:57Cause I really
19:59Need to get it
20:04Oh
20:04I met your husband
20:06The other week
20:07Seems he wants a seat
20:08On the board of my company
20:15The name cards look lovely
20:17By the way
20:22The lighting in his gallery
20:24Is perfect
20:27You have real
20:27Instinct for this
20:29Thank you
20:35What's wrong?
20:36Nothing
20:37Just focus on the gallery
20:41You won't look at me
20:43I'm looking at the exhibition
20:44Which is why we're here
20:45Right?
21:06Is this special?
21:10Or do you spend this kind of time
21:11With all the women in the church?
21:13Victoria
21:15Look whatever she told you
21:16It's not the truth
21:18Then tell me the truth
21:25Victoria Ashford
21:26Came to
21:28St. Catherine's
21:29A year ago
21:30Very wealthy
21:32She wrote a check
21:34For this room
21:35From caving in
21:36Then another one
21:37For the heating system
21:38Then for the youth program
21:39And within weeks
21:40She owned
21:41Half of the parish council
21:42So she bought her way in
21:47But the things
21:47Became more
21:49Personal
21:51She would
21:52Show up
21:52Unannounced
21:53Leave
21:53Notes
21:55Notes
21:56Invitations
21:57To her bed
21:59I said
22:00I'm just her priest
22:01And that's all
22:02What did she do
22:02When you told her that?
22:04She stopped writing checks
22:06And families
22:07Who depended on us
22:10Had nowhere else to go
22:11That's horrible
22:13So I
22:14I made amends with her
22:16And I put on the show
22:18To make her feel welcome
22:19But I know she wants more
22:22Checks
22:22Started coming again
22:24And I became complicit
22:26In a lie
22:26I never agreed to
22:29She got what she wanted
22:31The illusion of intimacy
22:33And I
22:33I sold pieces of myself
22:36To keep the lights on
22:40She's watching me
22:41Watching us
22:44And she's jealous
22:45So what?
22:46She owns this whole town?
22:48This church?
22:49You?
22:51Yes
22:52You
22:53Can't watch
22:54You can't do anything about it
23:21I have to go
23:25I know
23:27Marcus will be wondering
23:28Where I am
23:30Gabriel?
23:32Yes
23:34I believe you
23:35But Victoria is dangerous
23:37I know
23:46Okay
23:47Let's see here
23:49This one
23:50With the pearl earrings
23:51My mother gave you
23:53For the gala?
23:54For the gala
23:55The Arts Foundation
23:56Board members will be there
23:57And first impressions matter
23:59Alright?
24:02Hey
24:02Look at me
24:04I want you natural
24:05I want you approachable
24:06You're the councilman's wife
24:08Not
24:09I know who I am
24:09Marcus
24:11Yeah?
24:12Good
24:30Sage
24:31Hi
24:32I was wondering
24:33What you're doing tomorrow
24:35I want to do something
24:35For myself
24:37Always
24:37What are we doing?
24:41Shopping
24:45No
24:46No
24:47No
24:47God no
24:51Ooh
24:53Try this
24:54Marcus would hate it
24:56Good
24:57God I haven't worn something like this in like
25:01I don't even remember
25:02And that's exactly why you need to get it
25:07I think I kind of love it
25:16Well the council finally did it
25:18Mentioned giving me a seat on the board
25:21That's good
25:22Oh it's more than good
25:23It's strategic
25:24And the gala
25:25That locks us in
25:26It's where they announce
25:27The last two members of the board
25:28And they're gonna do it again
25:29I just know it
25:33I want you perfect that night
25:34And if I'm not
25:37If you're not
25:40I'll make sure you have nothing
25:43No money
25:43No friends
25:45No little church program
25:48I'll burn it all down to the ground
25:50Before I let you embarrass me
25:56Why do you even want me?
25:59Because you're mine
26:03You're mine
26:06You're mine
26:18You're mine
26:21You're yours
26:21You're mine
26:24You're mine
26:46I've come to pray.
26:48Did you?
26:52No.
26:55Neither did I.
27:01Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
27:06Have you?
27:11Not yet.
27:18I can't have this conversation through a screen.
27:33Tell me to leave.
27:38No.
27:42It took miles.
27:45So did I.
27:49No.
28:23Father Sinclair, don't.
28:33I have to.
28:36No.
28:38I have to.
28:51No.
28:52No.
28:54No.
28:56No.
28:58No.
28:59No.
28:59No.
29:00No.
29:28No.
29:29No.
29:29No.
29:29No.
29:30No.
29:31No.
29:33So much left to learn how close I'm being on
29:37I wanna go
29:40If you knew I was to burn
29:44But you said to her
29:46I blew some trees to burn
29:48When you drowned them in Patrick
29:51Why would you drown me in Patrick
29:54If you knew I was to burn
29:57What am I doing?
29:59But you said to her
30:00I blew some trees to burn
30:02When you drowned them in Patrick
30:05Why would you drown me in Patrick
30:08I can't stop
30:09If you knew I was to burn
30:16Hey
30:29Hey
30:42Yeah something definitely happened
30:44I don't know
30:45I don't know
30:46I don't know
30:58I don't know
31:22I don't know
31:39You're staring
31:43I can't help it
31:51What do you see?
31:53You
31:56It's us
32:03I didn't mean for it to be
32:10But it is
32:16I don't know
32:16I don't know
32:17I don't know
32:18But it means no
32:29It's not
32:33It's not
32:37It's not
32:53It's getting harder to stop.
32:55I know.
32:59What happens when we don't?
33:27You look different.
33:29I slept well.
33:32Good.
33:35Cousin, would you look in your best this week?
33:38Got it?
33:40Hmm?
33:42Okay.
33:55Grace, it's not something we earn.
33:59It comes uninvited, unexpected.
34:03And sometimes, it takes a form we do not understand at first.
34:14Yeah, because nothing happened.
34:19Even people aren't noticing.
34:21Just be careful.
34:42What is this?
34:44The reason you may not get your board seat.
34:56I thought you should know.
35:00We wanted to announce you at the gala, but...
35:03I guess that depends on how this goes.
35:09I'll take care of it.
35:18Fuck!
35:31Looks beautiful, Lena.
35:33It's terrifying.
35:35Same thing.
35:47The figures looks closer than the last time I saw it.
35:54Changed it last night.
35:57They're almost touching.
36:04Almost.
36:09The figures look closer to the clock.
36:10It's still the last day there.
36:10It's called The.
36:15The.
36:21The.
36:21The.
37:00Are you scared?
37:04Terrified.

38:20Come here.
38:22I'm really going to need you to be by my side tonight, Elena.

39:34What?
39:35Marcus.
39:36Marcus knows about...
39:37about Gabriel.
39:38How do you know?
39:40I saw his phone.
39:41He and Victoria have been texting.
39:43Elena, you need to tell Gabriel.
39:45I can't call him.
39:47Marcus...
39:48Marcus tracks me.
39:49I'll tell him.

40:05You're still wearing it?
40:08I'm still wearing it.
40:15We need to talk.
40:18What is it?
40:19Victoria has photos from the confessional booth.
40:27Of course.
40:31She's going to expose us at the gala in front of everyone to humiliate us both.
40:40Yeah, that's what it looks like.
40:42What are you going to do?
40:44I'm going to go to the gala.
40:46I'm not going to hide.
40:48And I'm not going to let Elena face this alone.
40:58Whatever happens tonight, thank you for being her friend.
