Got him.

Roll.

All right.

Can l talk to him?

l work at St. Paul's.

l've got to talk to him.

Scott, what happened?

Fucker called me out,
and along came death;

just like you said.

Hope that fucker was ready
to meet the Lord,



'cause l
sure as hell wasn't.

Scott--

Get the fuck
out of here, man.

Look, Scott--

Get the fuck
out of here.

Hello.

These things are heavy.

Yeah.

Thanks, man.

So you going to show me
how to do this?

You're going to paint
dressed like that?

Yeah.

Why not?

Well, l don't know.



You might get paint
on your nice clothes.

No, l will not.

l will be
very, very careful.

Didn't we use
to call you king klutz?

ln second grade
when you were slow.

Knock yourself out.

Alex, it's a wall,

not a Picasso.

Rachel.

Hey, come on in.

Hey, guys.

Hey, Rachel.

Peter, this is
Rachel Doucette,

my friend and ally

since freshman year.

Hi.

Hi.

How are--ooh.

l'm sorry.

Rachel's another
summer school refugee.

Yeah, l'm trying to get
out of here a semester early.

l've been telling her
all about you, Peter.

Oh, that must have been

very boring.

Beyond belief.

So how's
the painting coming?

Oh, good.
Look, look.

lsn't it beautiful?

l see Alex
has been a big help.

Oh, yeah.

lt would've taken me weeks to do
those two boards by myself.

Yeah, and look at him.

He's covered with paint.
lt's terrible.

Well, l'm sure
if l look closely enough--

Oh, l'm sorry.

l just--
l couldn't help it.

All right, Rachel.
That's it.

When you least expect it,

my revenge will be swift
and terrible.

Ooh.

l appreciate it.

Marlene,

thank you.

Oh, it's so good
to see you.

l was wondering when--
when you would come.

Yeah, l wanted to get my place
fixed up first.

What is--
what is all this?

lt's for
the soup kitchen.

During the summer, we like
to grow our own vegetables.

lt saves money.

Well, you've got some weeding
to do here.

Yeah.

You look good, Peter.

So did you--

did you talk to admissions
about midterm enrollment?

No.

What are you planning
to do?

As little as possible.

Well, that's one strategy.

Little as possible?

You know, Peter--

Don't--don't start.

l'm not going back
to Albany.

You hit a little roadblock
down there, huh?

Little?

lt's not
a little roadblock.

l know.

You were trying--
trying to help that kid.

What was his name?
Scott?

Yeah.

Some serious shit went down.

That's the world.
You know that's the world.

That's why you went
to St. Paul's,

to build the strength
to deal with that kind of thing.

l'm not going back.

You don't have to decide that
right now.

But the prayers,
the rules,

and all
these good intentions,

they have nothing to do--
zero to do with reality.

l'm through with it.

The rules
always made me crazy too,

but l never gave up
on the prayer.

You know,
l used to pray all the time,

ever since l was a kid.

But ever since Albany,
it's just seemed silly.

Like, who am l talking to?

Who's listening to that?

l can't do it anymore.

What does this mean:

''The day of the Lord
will come

like a thief in the night''?

The day of the Lord

is like the second coming.

lt's like judgment day.

That's saying that
that day will come

when you least expect it,
like a thief in the night.

clang

So, like, you never know

when you're going to die?

No.

No, no, it's talking about
Christ coming back to earth.

lt's not
talking about death.

No, it's talking about death.

See, that's why
the Bible's so cool.

lt doesn't fuck around.

Whoa.

You keep it up, kid, you'll be
playing in the majors.

'Cause l never go to town.

Don't need to hang around.

What could l do for her?

l'm just a pretender.

She's got
just enough changing.

Oh, no.

Hey, Peter, come over here.

Yeah, Father Peter,
get over here.

Bring up some sauce
from the back, please, sir.

Back the fuck off, seriously.

Hey, Father,
we got a dispute.

Robert here is pissed off,
man.

His neighbor's dog
is barking and barking

and waking up everybody
really early.

So Robert says
he's going to shoot the dog,

but you know Edgar.

He's telling Robert
to lay off.

See, if you're going
to shoot somebody,

you should shoot the faggot
who owns the dog.

lt is his fault
the fucking dog is barking.

Back the fuck off,
or l'll fucking shoot you.

So what do you think?

Shoot the neighbor
or shoot the dog?

Yeah, come on, dude,
this is serious.

A dog's life
is at stake, man.

Totally.

Shoot 'em both.

Who is it?

lt's Peter.

Hi, um--

Hey, Alex.

Oh, hey, man.

Look who's here.

Wow.

Pretty wild, huh?

l would never sleep
in this room.

Like you'd ever get the chance.

l mean, this stuff would just--
it'd give me nightmares.

Okay, boys and girls,
let's just concentrate here.

Who's going to win
the series?

The Red Sox?

What are you, crazy?

Here,
you'd better send those back.

They're defective.
You've got defective deities.

You just contracted
a jungle curse.

You want to get a beer?

l was going to get a beer,
you guys.

Um,

you guys go.

l-l have to write
this paper.

No, no, no, no,
you can come with us.

No, no, no, no.

l have a beer,
and the night is wasted.

You'd do me a favor,
actually,

because l've been trying

to get Alex
out of here for hours.

See, the truth about Rachel
reveals itself.

She pretends
to be a free spirit,

but all she does
is write papers.

Maybe some other time.

Call me.

My baby is not crazy.

That was Grown Man's Hands
by Aaron Hondros.

This is Jody Rose
broadcasting WPOl,

Pemberwick College.

We've got news coming up
in ten minutes,

and we'll tell you the details
on the two guys

that got beat up last night
near the quad.

Campus authorities say
it could be linked

to a series of hate crimes
directed at gays and lesbians.

Another beautiful day today.

A little hazy this morning,

but it should clear up
in the P.M.

Highs in the upper 80s,;
cooler tonight and tomorrow.

Scott?

Scott?

You don't have to live
like this, you know.

You know, Peter,

um, that's not where l am,
okay?

That's not my life.

That's bullshit.

No, bullshit.

You can be anything
you want to be.

What the fuck do you know?

Yeah, well, Peter's
always been different.

He's very deep.

Oh, God.

No, no, no.

lt's in a good way.

He thinks about things.

He's an homme serieux.

That's French.

lt means--

l know what it means.

lt means he's a pain
in the ass.

You like him.

Hmm, well, look,
just be gentle with him, okay?

Because unlike moi,

he's very inexperienced
with women.

Hmm.

Hi.

Hi.

l hope you don't mind.

l, um--l stopped by
to say hello,

but you weren't here.

No, um, that's okay.

l mean, if you decide to live
in a shack like this--

You never know
who's going to wander in.

That's right.

You seem a little tense.

No, l'm, just, um--

l'm just surprised
to see you.

That's all.

Oh.

A bad surprise?

No, a good one.

Would it be okay
if l kissed you?

Sure--sure.

So

you were studying
to be a priest?

Oh, l dropped out.

l was going to be
an Episcopalian priest.

So why'd you drop out?

Well, um, l thought
the people who were priests,

or who were g--

would be,
uh, like, you know--

going to be priests would be--
um, were--

What?

Like, um--

like my two roommates.

One of them wanted
to make a lot of money,

like being a priest
is the obvious way to get rich.

And the other one
was really quiet.

l mean, he was always chuckling
and nodding all the time,

but you could--
so l-l didn't really fit in.

Uh-huh.

And, um, at first,
l was still going to church

and, um, praying,

but, uh,
l'm too hairy.

You left the seminary
because you're too hairy?

Yeah, l'm too hairy.

l'm covered with hair.

Your chest doesn't look
that hairy.

They're little--
little hairs.

So why are you living
in this shack?

l wanted someplace
quiet.

Shhh.

You're really beautiful.

You're pretty beautiful
yourself.

Can l ask you something?

What?

You won't get offended?

What?

Was that your first time?

l mean, since you were
in the seminary and everything?

Why?

'Cause you wanted
to be celibate.

No, Episcopalian priests
don't have to be celibate.

Most of them are married,
you know.

They're not supposed
to fool around.

Nobody's
supposed to fool around.

So you were a virgin?

No.

Look, it's just--
it's been a while, okay?

Can--

can we talk
about something else, please?

Sure.

You're not going to, um,
write a paper about this,

are you?

Maybe.

You undressed him?

l know.
l can't believe l did it.

Oh, he is just--
he's so--

l just felt so powerful.

You don't have to get naked
every time you feel powerful.

You know Alex?

He thinks he arranged
the whole thing.

Well, l'm jealous.

l mean, this place is so dead
during the summer.

Oh, l'm sure
there's another lonely priest

around here somewhere.

Look,
l don't need a priest,

just someone who's shy,
lives in a shack,

and'll let me
strip him naked.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

That sounds
like fornication to me.

Yep.

That's what it was.

lt was pure
animal fornication.

l don't sense
any contrition.

Oh, well, l left my contrition
at the seminary.

Now l'm just an ordinary sinner
just like everyone else.

l hate to break it to you,
Peter,

but you will never be
an ordinary sinner, not you.

One thing is confusing to me,
though.

What's that?

Seeing as how
you have lost your faith

and abandoned the church,

why are you telling me
all this?

Are we, um--
are we talking or working?

So, Peter, l hear you've got
a hot new girlfriend.

Peter's got a new girlfriend?

Oh, who is it, man?

So much
for the sanctity

of the confession.

That was confession?

l thought
it was bragging.

lt's no big deal.

No big deal?
Did she dump you already?

Yeah, where is she?

She didn't dump him.

She's doing
her homework.

She had to go wash her hair?

No, she's got a headache.

Poor guy.

l told her that.

l told her that if you want
to come over to the--

Faggots.

What the fuck?

Friends and neighbors,
l hear the good news.

Joshua's trumpet bears witness

to the truth
and the light that--

my friend?

My friend,
do you know Jesus?

Do you know Jesus died
for your sins?

He died so that you
could have life eternal.

Life eternal.

That is a gift
that he offers you.

Hey, guys.

What's he doing here?

Looks like
he's sunbathing.

What?

Don't you think
it's kind of weird

to see a priest
in a bathing suit?

l think he's gorgeous.

lt's you
l'm worried about.

splash

Alex, come on in.

The water's great.

splash!

Ooh, it's freezing!

Oh,
you are such a baby.

Hey, come here.

Come here.

What?

Why--why is Peter ignoring me?

Well, 'cause
he's with Father Ed.

So.

So Father Ed
is the priest

in Peter's church.

He's the guy that talked him
into the seminary.

Oh.

Mmm.

Here, l got an idea.

Turn around.

What?
What?

Turn around.
What are you doing?

What are you doing?

l told you, Rachel:

revenge
when you least expect it.

What's going on?

He stole my top,

and he won't
give it back.

Oh, my God.

Give it back!

l told you.

splash!

Oh, give it back, now.

Traitor.

Traitor, that's mine.

Give it back to me.

Give it--

Traitor.

Hey, you guys, look.

splash!

That was incredible.

He should
be careful.

lt's not that deep,

and there's a lot of rocks
down there.

Don't worry about Father Ed.

Okay, l'm going to get out.

Me too.

Hey, can you get me
a towel?

So who's
this Ogden guy?

He lives across the hall
from me.

l felt sorry for him,
so l let him tag along.

Come on, let's go.

Help me up, will you?

Hey, Peter?

Hey, we're going to grab
a couple burgers.

You coming?

l'll, uh--
l'll catch you later.

Peter?

l'll catch you later.

So you know
when you do that dive

that you're pretty much
just a big show-off, right?

Yeah.

Pride is a tough sin.

lt catches us all.

Pride isn't only
about showing off, though.

You know, l feel a sermon
coming on here.

lt's pride
to walk away from God,

trying to hide
from him.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Well, l'm not the only one
hiding, then, am l?

What does that mean?

The other night
outside Mike's.

Okay, no sermons,
not today, anyway.

But why don't you come
to church on Sunday?

l'm working on
a doozy.

You know, l don't go
to church anymore.

Well, maybe you can make
an exception this one time.

lt would mean a lot
to me.

What's that?

lt's an old coin.

Oh yeah?
ls it worth anything?

Somebody gave it to me.

He, uh--he used to dive

off these high cliffs
into the ocean.

And every once
in a while,

he'd find these old coins
down there in the rocks.

And he said to me,

''This just goes to show you

''that even when the world
looks most dangerous,

sometimes a light shines
in the darkness. ''

Let's see.

l-l don't see anything.

Keep it.

Doesn't mean anything.

Good to see you.

Good morning.

We know that many people

describe marriage
as, uh--as warfare,

as the battle of the sexes.

And l hope that here today
we can talk about sex and love

without causing any bloodshed.

Now, love

and the marriage bond
that sanctifies love

is one of God's
greatest gifts to us,

one of his most wonderful
divine mysteries.

l think that it is inherently
a part of our nature

and yet unknowable
at its source.

Who knows why a man chooses

a certain woman
to be his wife?

Who understands
the chemistry

that leads a woman to choose
a certain man to be her husband?

And who can say why one man
falls in love with another man--

or a woman
with another woman?

There have been
a number of incidents recently

involving the harassment
of gay students on campus

and in the greater community.

People have used passages
from the Bible

to justify
this kind of harassment.

Leviticus 20:1 3.

And today we will discuss
whether the Bible

really condemns homosexuals
the way some say it does.

Leviticus 20.;13.

Shhh.

lt's okay.

You're Ogden, right?

You have something
to say?

Yeah, um, Leviticus 20:1 3.

''lf a man lies with a male
as with a female,

''they both have committed
an abomination.

They shall be put to death.''

What does that passage mean
to you?

That the Bible
condemns homosexuals.

And they should
be put to death?

That's what it says.

Be quiet.

No, no, no, please.

Let him speak.

Many people agree
with this point of view.

Leviticus,
in the context

of the specific time and place
in which it was written,

says homosexuals
should be put to death.

He also says

that children
who curse their parents

should be put to death,

adulterers
should be put to death.

What do you think about that?

l don't try to interpret
the Bible.

l just try to believe it
and live it.

That's a righteous undertaking.

And in--in trying
to live the Bible,

would you feel justified
to kill a homosexual?

l-l don't know
any homosexuals.

l've never had to make
that decision.

That's a cop-out,
isn't it?

Well, it's the truth.

You may believe
it's the truth, but it's not.

You know
at least one homosexual,

because you know me.

l have never taken
extraordinary measures

to hide my sexual orientation,

but l-l haven't publicized it
either.

The fact is, l'm gay.

Should l therefore
be put to death?

What do you say?

l-l'd say that--

that everyone
in this congregation

should pray for Father Ed.

He is not alone
in his beliefs.

l have prayed long and hard
for an answer

as to why l feel
the way l feel.

But in the end,

l can't explain it
any more than l can explain

why l'm mortal or why God
created sex and love

in the first place.

l'm sorry.

l should have talked to you
before l--

Oh, come on.

After what
that little jerk said,

you had no choice.

Yeah, well, l--

We can handle this.

Great sermon, Father.

l appreciate that,
Bill.

That took a lot of courage,
Father.

Thank you,
Mrs. Scherm.

l'll see you next week?

Yes, you will.

Thanks.

Hey.

That was really stupid.

When the Lord
opens a door for you, Peter,

you need to walk through.

Well, you didn't have
to go that far.

Well, somebody
had to say something.

l don't know
if it's students

or if this radical
Christian cell in town

is responsible,

but the intimidation
has to stop.

l mean, you really believe
what you say in there

makes a difference?

You tell me.

Does it?

May--maybe it does.

What do you mean, ''his lover''?

l'm talking about Father Ed,

Mike's boyfriend.

Ow.

Boyfriend?

You mean Mike's
a faggot?

You're such
a fucking idiot, man.

Well, how was l
supposed to know, man?

Guys, guys, guys,
be cool, huh?

Dude, l'm cool, okay?
lt's just--

Just that you're so stupid
your brain

fell out of your head
and you stepped on it.

Fuck you.

Shut up, asshole.

So you're saying
the priest's a faggot too?

Oh, man,

l'm going
to fucking kill you.

What?
You're being
such a dick.

Dude, l don't know
this shit, man.

Why the fuck are you
coming down on me all the time?

What the fuck, man?

We're just talking.

See, you're lucky.

You're lucky, 'cause l
was going to kick your ass.

Okay, man.

Shut the fuck up.

Go, go.

Fuck you, man.

You know it's too hot to be
doing this, right?

You know, we should do this

when it cools down
a little bit, maybe.

lt's not that hot.

Maybe not
for a crazy Mexican.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

You know the trouble
with gringos?

They got no stamina.

You know, l was thinking
that we should do tacos

at the soup kitchen
on Friday.

Tacos?

You lost your mind?

You think people
would like that?

Sure, they would,

'cause people are probably
getting sick of that meat loaf.

l know l would be.

For your information,
my foolish young friend,

l make a great meat loaf.

Mmm, that's--that's funny,

'cause just 'cause
you haven't been arrested

doesn't mean
it's a great meat loaf, okay?

Whoa, whoops.

Oh, man, l'm sorry.

What is that?

What are you doing?

l was just
messing around.

What are you mad at?

l'm not mad.

lt's just--
look, l'm not used

to hanging out
with a priest.

Look, he's just a guy.

Yeah, well,
maybe to you.

But to the rest of us,
it's a little weird.

Did you think it was weird
when l was at the seminary?

Yeah.

Yeah, as a matter of fact,
l did.

Huh.

Why?

You're not thinking
of going back, are you?

Peter?

''But seek ye first
the kingdom of God

and his righteousness''-- my friend.

Thank you.
Yes, God bless you.

''And all these things
shall be added unto you.''

That's St. Matthew,
verse 6 and 33.

l-l don't know anything
about it.

Look,
Father Ed mentioned once

something about a radical
Christian group in town.

l think he called it
a--a cell.

Do you know
what he was talking about?

There are lots
of church groups.

No, not a church group,
a radical Christian cell.

Well, there's this guy
named Parish.

l think
it's Bill Parish.

He works
at the York Street station,

and l know he's got
a prayer group.

Bill Parish.

Kill time.

Got any maps?

Yeah, in the rack in the office.

l hope he knows
what he's doing.

Anything else, you guys?

Can you,
um, check the oil?

Sure.

Looks good.

Good.
Great.

Um, how about
the rest of it?

The rest of what?

Oh, uh,
the brake fluid.

Peter said the brakes
were squishy on the way over.

Yeah,
that's right, squishy.

Okay, then.

Can l help you?

Yeah, l was just looking
at your bulletin board.

This isn't public.

lt's for employees only.

Sorry.

Do you know
Bill Parish?

l'm Bill Parish.

What do you want?

l don't know
what you're up to, Parish,

but it better stop.

Come on, faggot.

Let's see
what you got.

Come on.

Try and hit me
with that

motherfucking wrench.

Come on,
son of a bitch.

Come on, huh?

Come on.

No, you hit me.

See, l was arrested
for assaulting

a police officer.

lf l hit you,
they'll put me in jail.

But you can hit me.

What the fuck
are you talking about?

l'm telling you to hit me,
asshole.

Go ahead.
Beat the crap out of me.

You're fucking crazy.

Peter.

Let's go.

l want to know
who printed that flyer.

l don't know nothing
about it.

You should have seen
the look on his face.

Peter's or Parish's?

l didn't even do anything.

Oh.

lt was so stupid.

What was the point?

The universe is black.

lt's black.
lt's empty.

lt's meaningless.

Oh, spare us.

lt's the truth.

You're just too scared
to admit it.

And this is meaningless too?

This what?

This.

You, me, Rachel?
This is meaningless?

Probably.

No, that's not truth, man.

That's despair.

lf you're going to drink,

drink to something.

Let's drink to friendship.

No, not friendship, Alex.

lt's chance, okay?

You were a guy growing up
on my block.

Rachel's some girl
you met in college.

No, you're wrong.
lt's not chance.

lt's destiny, and you don't--
you don't piss away destiny.

You--you treasure it,
protect it, and fight for it.

l mean--look,
you came to Pemberwick--

l came to Pemberwick

because l had
nowhere else to go.

No, because you were
supposed to,

because this bond
between you, me, and Rachel,

this is rare and precious
and right.

And it's a gift, man,
and l'm not going to sit here

and listen to you piss it away.

l'm sorry, man.

To Peter.

Yeah.

To Rachel.

To us.

Look, l got this aunt
who lives in Boston.

She rents out this house,

and it's a beautiful
little brick row house

right near Bunker Hill.

l mean,
it's across from a park,

and it's got this yard
and everything.

And why don't we go there
after graduation,

l mean, the three of us?

We can go there and--
and work

and live together and--

l mean--
look, Boston's a great town.

And the place
has got two bedrooms:

one for you guys,
one for me.

And, Rachel, l know
that you don't cook, but l do.

And, l mean, well,

we can be there
and help each other.

What do you think?

Well,

that's a long ways away.

l mean, do we have to make
reservations right now?

l'm just hoping
we can get home in one piece.

What are you doing?

So what do you think
about my idea,

my aunt's house in Boston?

That's a good--
that's a good idea,

right?

What do l think?

l think,
''Why do we need two bedrooms?''

Stay.

Pizza run?

Are you drunk?

l'm buying.

Come on.

Hey, Mike.

Can we get
a couple slices?

Cheese?

Yeah, and how about
some pepperoni?

l'll have mushrooms.

You got it.

Beer?

Yeah.
Of course, yeah.

Make that two.

So how's, uh--
how are you doing, Mike?

You hanging in there?

Good.

Doing good.

Do l know you?

Yeah, l know you
from the chapel.

Ed's sermon.

You're the little prick
who stood up

and made
all the goddamn noise.

Who the hell
do you think are, huh?

You stand up in church?

Who the hell
do you think you are?

l'm sorry if--
if he's a friend of yours,

but, uh,
what Father Ed said

in his sermon was wrong.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Ed is an ordained priest.

What the fuck
do you know?

l-l know my Bible.

l'm sorry
if you don't like it,

but l-l know
what the Bible says.

And l know what l say.

Get the hell
out of my restaurant.

No, hey, hey, hey,
take it easy.

Take your hands
off of me.

All right,
look, we're leaving, all right?

Come on, Ogden.
Let's go.

Read your Bible,
friend.

You'll see
that l'm right.

Ogden, is it?

How'd you like
to be a martyr, Ogden?

l'm not afraid of you.

Well, you should be.

Look, Mike,
l'm sorry.

Get--get out.

Never mind.

Never mind.

Scott, what happened?

Scott?

l hope that fucker
was ready to meet the Lord,

'cause l sure as hell wasn't.

Scott, what happened?

Fucker called me out,
and along came death;

just like you said.

Look--

Just get the fuck out of here,
l said.

Get the fuck off me,
you fucking asshole!

Hey, hey, stand back.

thud

Are you okay?

Yeah, l'm--l'm fine.

You?

Seriously hung over.

Mmm, second that.

And my clothes
are still on.

You trying to ruin
my reputation?

Yeah, more research.

Hey,
you put my poster up.

Yeah, you haven't been here
in a while.

Whose fault is that?

So what
do you believe in?

What do you mean?

Well, you study
all these religions.

What do you
believe in?

Well,

you study
all these different cultures

from all over the world,

and they all believe
in some kind of god,

so l guess there must be
something out there.

Something what?

Some kind of god.

Or maybe it's just a flaw
in the human gene pool.

Maybe we're all programmed
to believe in a god

because if we didn't

we would just commit suicide
or something, you know?

Maybe
it's a survival thing.

l-l talk too much,
don't l?

Sometimes.

l made the reservations
for the cape.

ls that the last week
in August?

Right.

l can barely wait.

You going to close
the restaurant?

l thought l'd let Robert
give it a shot.

He seems like
a nice boy.

splash!

Ed?

Ed?

Ed!

splash!

Peter?

He's in there.

Oh, you look like shit,
man.

All right, let's go.

Let's get up.

Oh, God.

All right, hang on.

You got him?

Yeah.

Jesus.

Come on,
what are we doing here?

We are going to take care
of this garden.

lt's in memory
of Father Ed.

And guess what?

You are going to help.

ln memory of Father Ed,

you should let everything
die.

What?

Yeah, let all these
little green plants here

just wither up and die.

No, l don't think so,
Peter.

lt's time to move on.

lt's cruel to raise up
all these little vegetables

only to cut 'em down
and then serve 'em

to a bunch
of skaggy poor people.

What are you doing?

Stop it.

thud

Stop it.

l am tired
of all this black shit.

Come on.

Ow.

Cut it out.

Let go of me.

Ow.

Get off me.

Give it--

Ow.
You son of a bitch.

Ow, damn it.

rip!

So you've
stopped caring

about everything?

lncluding me?

Sure.

You know,
when l first met you,

l thought,
''Wow, this guy is different.

He's got things he believes in,
and he's someone special.''

But that just goes to show you
that you're not the only one

who could be
really fucking stupid.

tink

l'm an asshole.

clang!

You've got 1 5 minutes.

Hey.

How are you?

How do you think?

What are you doing here,
man?

Well, l wanted to see you.

l wanted to see
how you were doing.

l-l hear, uh--hear you
dropped out of the seminary.

Yeah.

Why?

l blew it;
l should never have let you--

Hey.

Hey.

You didn't blow it, okay?

l blew it.

What do you expect
from a dumb fucker like me, huh?

At least you tried.

Yeah, they, um,

won't let me wear it.

Can't have anything
around my neck, you know, so--

so l won't strangle myself.

Rachel, look, l--

What?

What do you want?

That first night
when we slept together,

l told you
that l left the seminary

because of my roommates.

That--
that wasn't true.

l don't even know you.

Look, l left
because l was working

with this gay kid
named Scott.

He got in a fight
and killed someone.

He killed someone
for hassling him.

l came here to try
and figure out where to go next.

l mean,
l was going to be a priest.

And then Father Ed--

l-l just lost it.

And l know l've totally screwed
things up between us, but--

l tried
running away once.

l'm not going
to do it again.

splash!

Rachel, what are you doing?

What?

When you were--
when you were

going under
the water and coming back up,

what were you doing?

Just bouncing--

bouncing on the rocks
on the bottom.

First we have to demonstrate
that these rocks

didn't use to be there.

Second, we have to demonstrate
that a person or persons

put the rocks there;
it wasn't an act of nature.

Third, we have to find
the person or persons

who put these rocks there,;
and fourth--

this is the tough one--

we have to prove
that whoever did it

put the rocks there
with the intent

to cause grievous bodily harm.

Well, if you could find
the person

who put the rocks there,

wouldn't the rest
just fall lnto place?

You know, a lot of people
have died

at that quarry
over the years.

Been a lot of accidents.

Father Ed dove there every day.

He was an experienced diver.

We'll look into it.

splash

Mike?

Yeah?

Did Peter tell you
about the rocks at the quarry?

What rocks?

Come on.

Let's sit down a minute
and talk.

Well, l was at the quarry
a couple of weeks ago,

late.

Doing what?

What do you think?

Trying to get laid.

Anyway, we saw this guy
in a rowboat.

Now, l didn't pay attention
at the time.

But after talking
to Peter--

What?

l think this asshole
was dropping rocks

right where Father Ed
used to dive,

just like Peter said.

l mean,
he's in a rowboat

going back and forth,
back and forth.

Now, l didn't think about it
at the time,

but it makes sense.

What else
could he have been doing?

Who was it?

l don't know.

What do you mean
you don't know?

l don't know his name,

but l've seen him before
in here.

Remember those two guys
you chased out of here?

lt's one of those guys.

Ogden?

Rachel, l'm trying
to reach Alex.

Alex.

Look, meet me at Ogden's room

in, uh--
in five minutes.

Just do it.

What's up, kid?

Look, come with me,
okay?

What the fuck?

Just get in
the damn car.

What's up?

You son of a--

What are you doing?

This son of a bitch
moved those rocks.

Now he's going to die
the same way Ed did.

Let the police
handle this.

No, l didn't do anything.

Just shut up.

You put those rocks
right where you knew Ed dove every day.

No, l didn't.

Robert saw you, okay?

Who's Robert?

He saw you at the quarry.

And he remembered you

the night l chased you
out of my place.

The night
l came with Alex?

He saw you
in the boat!

He saw me?

Mike, let's just take it
to the cops, man.

Come on.

Let's take it
to the cops, man.

Come on.

No way.

Mike, don't do it.

Come on,
don't do this.

Please.

All right.

All right.

Let's take it
to the cops.

Look, l'll, um--
l'll meet you there.

Come on.

Oh, hi, guys.

You did it, didn't you?

You son of a bitch.

Look, l only
put the rocks there.

l didn't make him dive.

Why?

'Cause three into four
will not go, man.

What, what's that supposed
to mean?

He was pulling you away
from me and from Rachel.

He was my friend.

No, he wanted you back
in the seminary,

and you would've
gone there.

Alex, just come down.

Come down.

Fuck.

So much for that house
in Boston.

No, just come down.

You know,
it's a black universe.

You said so yourself, Peter.

God damn it, Alex,

just get down from there.

lt's black and empty

and meaningless.

Those are just words.

He didn't mean it.

Well, you know,
he shouldn't say things

that he doesn't mean.

No!

No.

What are you--

Get off.

Let go of me.

No.

splash!

Peter?
Alex?

Peter?

Alex?

Alex!

Peter!

Oh, Jesus.

Jesus.

Where's Alex?

He didn't--

Alex?

Alex?

Alex?

Hi.

Hey.

l didn't expect you back
so soon.

Hoping you could run out
on me?

lt was a short service.

Nobody knew what to say.

l should have gone.

Do you think l'm running away?

No.

You're just going
someplace quiet.

That's what you said
that first night

that you came
to Pemberwick.;

because you were looking
for someplace quiet.

There's no quiet place.

No guarantees, anyway.

l'm never going to understand
why he did it, you know?

So when can l visit?

l don't know.

Once l'm settled.

Safe journey.

Thanks.

Bye, Deborah.

See you.

Hey, hey.

What's going on?

We figured you could
use some help.

What are you doing?

Preparing
for open-heart surgery, asshole?

Hey, man,
you gotta have

the right tool
for the job.

lt's a Zen thing.

Hey, what's up?

He's got his good days,
and he's got his bad days.

Hey, watch it
with the fucking rake, man.

Why don't you watch it

with your fucking language,
man?

This is
a church garden.

l better keep an eye
on these guys.

Hey, thanks
for coming over.

Thank you.

Oh, yeah, duckin' isn't good!
