Nip/Tuck (2003–2010): Season 1, Episode 8 - Cara Fitzgerald - full transcript

Matt and his Jewish schoolmate enjoy training him how to live as devout Jew without truly believing and use marijuana, but accidentally hit a 16-year old girl which was tying her shoelaces and just stood up unnoticed while Matt was driving. They thought it was just an animal and left, but Sean reads in the paper about the Cara Fitzgerald case. Miss Devon Greco wants her nose changed because it reminds her of her abusive real father, Christian refuses the case as unrealistic expectations. Michael Shannon insists Dr. Troy (literally) handles the embarrassing birthmark-removal from his ball-sack 'in time for his expensive honeymoon' within two weeks. The boys learn Cara is a model student; Matt visits her in hospital, as coma patient, where he meets her mother Kate, pretending to be a member of the prayer club she founded and learns her family are Christian Scientists, hence refuse drugs. Seans lover Megan O'Hara insists on breast implants after cancer and a divorce. Psychiatrist Grace Santiago's indiscretion makes both partners want to fire her, and find out about each-others unprofessional relationships. Matt tells Sean only that he cares for Cara ands asks him to do her plastic surgery. Christian is shocked to hear on TV his 'about to marry' patient Michael Shannon is a Catholic priest who just escaped trial for sexual abuse of several young boys and realizes they helped the monster hiding his intimate identity. Henry wants to confess for religious reasons, Sean tries to convince Cara's mother not to refuse 'sinfully unnatural' plastic surgery and gets a court order so he and Troy can do an urgent operation to save her eyesight. Christian changes his mind about florist Devon Greco who admits she lacked the courage to press charges till her abusive father became terminal. Seeing father Shannon still seems to crave boys Christian goes to confession with him for the first time in 22 years, only to insist he confesses to the police under threat of scalpel and photos- it works. Now he tells Sean about his own abusive foster father Mr. Troy who bribed him to 'sell his body' as a boy.

Henry: this is out.

Matt: just because we're

Smoking your shit doesn't make

Me your bitch.

Henry: it's shabbas.

I'm not allowed to make fire.

Matt, laughing: make fire!

And what else, invent the wheel?

Henry: there are rules of

Conduct laid down centuries ago

By the wisest men in



The sanhedrin.

Have a little respect, and light

My bong, shabbas-Goy. [Laughs]

That's a gentile who does the

Work we're not allowed to do on

Nshabbas.

Driving, carrying, cooking--

Matt: can you have sex?

Henry: depends on how you

Interpret "no plowing."

[Both laughing]

Matt: i don't get it.

You think god's gonna be pissed

At you for lighting a match?



Henry: god won't give a shit...

but i will.

Look, if i follow the rules,

I'll live a happy life...and

I'll survive.

That's how come we've been

Around for over 3,000 years.

Because for jews what's most

Important is, you know...

henry: living righteously.

[Both laughing]

[Car radio playing rock music]

Radio: * go *

Matt: henry, your ride is

Smooth.

Henry, chuckling: i know.

Hanukkah present from the folks.

Matt: there's definitely

Benefits to being a

Nshabbas-Goy.

Henry: well, i'm glad you feel

That way because when we stop at

The 7-Eleven, you get to work

The big gulp machine.

Aah! [Laughs]

[Changes station to rap music]

Oh! Oh, man, i love this shit.

I'm so down with this mo-Fo

Shit!

Matt, laughing: dude, you only

Like it because you're stoned.

[Changes station to rock music]

Henry: you bitch.

[Both changing stations]

* ooh, that's my favorite song *

Teenager: sweet! Yeah!

Come on. Let's get out of here,

Dude.

[Teenagers laugh]

[Both changing stations]

Matt: come on!

Henry: bitch!

[Tires screech]

* you know how we do it *

[Brakes squeal briefly]

[Silence]

[Brakes squeal]

[Matt breathing quickly]

Matt: nothin'.

I think we hit a bird.

Let's go.

* ahh *

* make me beautiful *

* make me

A perfect soul,

A perfect mind,

A perfect face,

A perfect

Life *

Matt: wow.

Well, mom's making french toast

Instead of nuking an eggo.

Is it somebody's birthday?

[Julia laughs]

Julia: i was feeling generous.

Matt: mmm.

Julia: ohh!

Annie: wanna color?

Matt: yeah, sure, annie.

Sean: how horrible.

Julia: another war break out

While we were sleeping?

Sean: some girl got run over by

A hit-And-Run driver.

Right near your school, matt.

Matt: um, ahem...really?

What, uh--What does it say?

Sean: "the victim,

Cara fitzgerald, a 16-Year-Old

Junior, was found near death in

A ditch behind coral gables

High school by an unidentified

Homeless man."

Julia: who could run someone

Over and then leave the scene of

The crime?

Matt, french toast?

Matt: s-Sure. Yeah.

Christian: miss greco, tell me

What you don't like about

Yourself.

Miss greco: my nose.

Christian: too big, too small?

Miss greco: too much like my

Father's.

Grace: miss greco, not to be

Presumptuous--It looks fine.

Christian: more than fine,

Dr. Santiago.

It's the gold standard.

All the big models possess the

Aquiline slope--Linda

Evangelista, christy turlington.

Miss greco: yeah, well, i'm

Guessing that

Christy turlington's father

Didn't rape her.

But, hey, don't feel bad.

When i said i didn't feel like

It, he'd give me money so i

Could buy more barbies.

I thought that was love,

You know?

Grace: did you report your

Father, miss greco?

Miss greco: when i was 14.

My younger sister janice had the

Room next to mine.

She was 7 then.

I heard him through the walls

Whispering to her, so i called

The cops that night.

We went to foster care.

Christian: are you currently in

Counseling, miss greco?

Miss greco: why does that matter

To you?

Christian, sighing: you seem...

very angry.

You seem like you haven't really

Dealt with this.

Miss greco: i've spent 12 years

On a shrink's couch.

I'm sick of dealing with it.

Every day when i look in the

Mirror, i see that man staring

Back at me.

I want him carved off my face.

Christian: miss greco, i'd like

To recommend a colleague of

Mine, dr. Martin hargrove.

Miss greco: wait a minute.

You're blowing me off? Why?

Christian: i think you have

Unrealistic expectations.

After you change your nose, then

What, miss greco?

Will you move on to altering

Your jaw line?

Miss greco: who the hell are you

To tell me in what way i should

Properly heal?

How dare you judge me when you

Have no idea what it's like to

Have a dick you can't say no to

Forced on you for years?

Christian: excuse me.

I'm late for a surgery.

Dr. Santiago will show you out,

Miss greco.

[Door shuts]

Sean: good afternoon,

Mr. Shane.

How are we healing today?

Mr. Shane: uh, dr. Troy told me

Not to take the bandage off so

I don't know.

I'm sorry. You are?

Sean: dr. Mcnamara, dr. Troy's

Partner.

Mr. Shane: oh. Well, i'd

Really like him to do the

Follow-Up, doc, if you don't

Mind.

This has been kind of

Embarrassing for me.

Sean: i'm sorry. He's in

Surgery that went a little

Longer than expected.

He asked me to step in.

You had a birthmark removed,

Mr. Shane?

Mr. Shane: ugly and purple and

Shaped like an amoeba.

It's, uh, on my ball sac.

My fianc e hated it.

Sean: all right. Let's take a

Look.

[Mr. Shane inhales sharply]

Sean: sorry. Caught a pubic hair

There.

Mr. Shane: mm-Hmm.

Mr. Shane: there's a pink mark.

Sean: that's normal.

The laser made a scab which has

Fallen away already.

That's a sign you're healing

Properly.

The slight pigmentation that--

Mr. Shane: i was told this would

Be healed in 2 weeks.

Sean: you have a deadline?

Mr. Shane: a honeymoon.

That's why i paid 5 grand.

Well, there's still a mark

There.

I want dr. Troy.

I don't mean to be a horse's

Ass, dr. Troy, but, you know,

This has been a little traumatic

For me.

You're the only one i want

Handling my penis.

Christian: mike, you're the only

Man who's ever said that to me.

[Both laugh]

Very nice. Slight pinkness, but

That should fade in a matter of

Weeks.

Mr. Shane: doc, you made a

Promise--2 weeks you said it

Would be gone.

It's my honeymoon, remember?

She hates giving me head.

Christian: and you're gonna

Marry the bitch?

Mr. Shane: yeah. Just don't

Tell my girlfriend.

[Both laugh]

What's that?

Christian: bleaching cream.

Twice a day for a week.

It ought to take care of any

Redness that remains.

Mr. Shane: so, by my honeymoon,

No sign of the scar.

Christian: or your money back.

[Mr. Shane chuckles]

Matt: fieldencrantz...fields...

here she is.

Fitzgerald, cara.

Founding member of the

Christian fellowship prayer

Club.

According to the paper, there

Were no eyewitnesses.

Henry: god was a witness.

Matt: i mean who could identify

Us.

Matt: we have to go to the

Hospital and find out what she

Knows.

Sean: maybe you'd like to feel

The soybean oil implant.

It's lighter than the saline.

Megan: that's exactly what i'm

Looking for, something lighter.

Sean: now what do we do?

Megan: i got a couple of ideas.

Sean: god, you smell good.

Megan: mmm. You're all i think

About.

Sean: really?

Megan: really.

I wanna get the implants.

Sean: the door's closed.

We don't have to pretend.

Megan: no. Really.

I've decided i wanna get the

Implants.

Woman: who are you?

Matt: um, i'm matt.

I'm matt mcnamara.

Woman: i'm cara's mother kate.

I don't know you, matt.

Does cara?

Matt: uh...we're friends.

Kate: how did you and cara meet,

Matt?

Matt: uh...i'm in the prayer

Club?

Kate: really.

Cara founded that club.

I thought she couldn't find

Anybody else to join.

Matt: has she, uh...woken up?

Kate: not since the accident.

She's not responding.

The doctors say on a coma scale

She's a 6.

I don't understand that, but the

Doctors say it's almost a

Blessing.

She's breathing on her own,

And...she's not in any pain.

Matt: she's not any medication?

Kate: no. That's against our

Beliefs.

We're christian scientists.

Didn't cara tell you that at

Your prayer club meeting?

Matt: yes, um...so this would be

What she'd want.

Kate: sometimes she struggles

With her faith, as i did when i

Was her age.

The acne, you know? [Chuckles]

She wanted to try the proactiv,

But we couldn't do that.

And i would tell her,

Sweetheart, the light in you is

So bright.

That light will one day bring

Someone into your life that will

Like you for who you really are.

And in you walk.

God bless you, matt.

Matt: how badly was she hurt?

Kate: there are 14 bones in the

Human face.

Did you know that?

According to the doctors, she

Broke 10.

When they found her in the

Ditch, her face was so swollen

That...it didn't even look like

A person.

She will get better.

I know it.

Kate: will you pray with me?

[Kate breathes deeply]

Kate: dear heavenly father,

Thank you for sending cara's

Friend matt here today to rally

Her spirit.

It's such a blessing.

Please help cara to heal in the

Manner that you see fit.

[Crying]

And, father...

please help them find the

Monster who did this to her.

Grace: mrs. O'hara, after

Looking at your chart i have to

Say i'm a little confused.

You decided not to have breast

Reconstruction during your

Surgery.

You then came in for a

Consultation and again decided

Against implants.

Now you suddenly want them.

Has something in your life

Changed recently that's led you

To this decision?

Sean: i agree that the implants

Aren't necessary.

Grace: so you're against the

Surgery, then?

Sean: well, no. It's

Mrs. O'hara's choice.

It's her body.

I think, and i've told her this,

That she looks spectacular with

Or without breasts.

Megan: no one's ever said that

To me before.

Grace: not even your husband?

Megan: jim wasn't very

Communicative.

Grace: unlike the person you're

Seeing now?

Megan: i didn't say i was

Seeing anyone.

Grace: oh. I'm sorry. I just

Jumped to the new partner, new

Set of pressures theory.

For many women, breasts are the

Root place of sexual confidence.

Megan: that's right.

I would agree with that.

Megan: i am dating someone.

No, it's more than that. I'm...

i'm in love with him.

It's the first time in years

I felt this alive, and after the

Chemo and the pain and the...

living death, i want to embrace

These feelings with every ounce

Of my being.

Megan: i wanna make love to him

With the lights on...without

Worrying about racing to a lamp

Because i'm self-Conscious.

I don't want to edit one minute

Of my life.

Sean: don't do it for him.

Megan: no, i'm doing it for

Me, sean.

Grace: he's having an affair

With her.

Christian: why would you assume

That?

Grace: because of their

Interaction--She admitted in

The room that she was in love

With him.

Christian: sean's not the

Cheating kind.

Grace: that's not necessarily

True--70% of all men cheat.

The statistics are astounding.

No, i'm disturbed by this.

A plastic surgeon giving his

Mistress implants so that she

Can be more sexually uninhibited

With him.

Don't you find that unsettling?

Wait a minute.

Who am i talking with?

Of course you wouldn't.

She's been through cancer, now

A separation.

I don't know. This patient just

Seems so fragile to me.

I don't want her making a rash

Decision for the wrong reasons.

Christian: you want me to talk

To him?

Grace: no. If i make an

Accusation that's unfounded, he

Could fire me.

But maybe you could feel it out.

When he talks to you about

Devon greco, casually mention

The implants and see if you

Sense anything.

Christian: whoa, killer, back

Up--Why would sean talk to me

About devon greco?

I bounced her case over to

Hargrove.

Grace: she was very upset by

Your nonchalance.

She asked if there was another

Doctor here she could speak to,

So i made an appointment for

Sean to see her on friday.

Look, i'm gonna head to lunch.

Thanks for listening to me

About megan o'hara, but,

Please, don't tell him we had

This conversation.

Christian: of course not.

Sean: how dare you tell my

Partner that i'm having an

Affair with a patient!

Grace: i can't believe i was so

Stupid as to think i could trust

You with even a moment of

Vulnerability.

You're an asshole.

Christian: and you're an

Arrogant little ph.D. In a prada

Knockoff skirt who shouldn't be

Spreading lies about my partner

Or accusing me of being rude to

A consult and then trying to

Bypass my executive decisions.

Sean: who else did you unload

On, dr. Santiago?

The nurses? The janitor?!

If i discover you weakened the

Morale of this office with your

Unfounded malicious gossip--

Grace: what, sean? You'll fire

Me?

Are my accusations that

Unfounded?

Sean: you mind your own goddamn

Business!

Grace: this is my business!

This patient is my business!

You have put me in a difficult

Situation, and this is not the

First time you've done it.

Sean: let's take a break.

Grace: no! I am sick of the

Secrets!

Some of which are mine.

Let's just put it all on the

Table.

Sean: i'm not having an affair!

Christian: i believe you, sean.

Grace: i don't believe you.

I don't believe you because i

Know your marriage is in

Trouble.

You told me that right before

Your hand crept up my thigh

Under the table.

Christian: fascinating

Late-Breaking information here

At the people's court.

When did this happen?

Sean: the day before i hired

Her.

Christian: and did you hire her

Because you were afraid she'd

Sue?

Grace: lawsuits usually happen

When people are fired after

They sleep with the boss.

Christian: is that a threat?

Sean: wait. You slept with

Grace?

Grace: it won't happen again.

Sean: god damn it, are you out

Of your mind?!

How could you do this?!

Christian: sleep with someone

That rejected you?

Sean: leave! Go home.

Sean: just for today.

Christian: i don't want her

Here, sean.

She's a troublemaker, and her

Shoes are cheap.

Sean: shut up, christian.

Shut up and let me think.

If julia even suspected for a

Second i was having an affair,

That would be it.

She'd file for divorce, she'd

Take the kids away from me.

I can't risk that.

That's why i would never have

An affair.

Christian: give megan o'hara

The implants, sean.

Schedule it.

Sean: i can't do that now, after

Grace's ridiculous accusation.

Christian: it would look

Suspicious if you didn't do the

Operation.

Grace is obviously deluded,

About you, about me.

You have my wholehearted

Support.

[Knock on door]

Nurse: excuse me.

Your son is here to see you?

Matt: you said you wanted to do

More pro bono work.

Sean: what's going on with you?

I thought you didn't even know

This girl?

Matt: i know her.

I don't know her well.

Matt: i visited her in the

Hospital.

That story you read really got

To me.

Somebody ruined her life, dad.

Her mother's this fanatical

Religious person who doesn't

Believe in medicine.

Sean: matt, the line that

Divides church and state

Sometimes also applies to

Medicine and the patient.

You and i might not agree with

Her mother's beliefs--

Matt: no. When the bandages come

Off, she is gonna look like a

Monster.

I can't help her.

You can.

Please.

Tv newscaster: the alligator was

Removed from the swimming pool

And taken to a reptile habitat

In key west.

In other news, a catholic priest

Was cleared of criminal charges

Today after a physical exam

Failed to substantiate a claim

That he had sexually abused

10 boys over the past 5 years.

The priest,

Father michael shannon of the

Saint augustine parish, proved

His innocence, authorities say,

When a genital examination

Failed to turn up a distinctive

Birthmark, an identification

All the boys claimed as physical

Proof of their reported

Violation.

Father shannon spoke to

Reporters this afternoon after

His exoneration.

Father shannon: i just wanna say

Thank you to everyone who stood

By me through this terrible

Ordeal.

I want my accusers to know they

Are forgiven, not just by me,

But by god.

And now it's time for all of us

To put this behind us and to

Focus our attention on the real

Victims, those who have been

Abused by those in power need

Our prayers the most.

They are the most in need of

Healing.

Thank you.

Sean: marking pen.

Sean: swab.

Scalpel.

Nurse: sean.

Sean.

This surgery usually takes

2 hours max.

She's been under for 3 hours.

We should close.

Does the infra-Mammary fall too

Low?

It's too low.

I think it needs to be higher.

Scalpel.

Nurse: why?

Sean: i'm gonna do it over.

It's not right.

Sean: what's wrong?

Are you sure it was him on the

News?

Christian: it was him!

It was him, and he lied!

Stop asking questions and offer

Some solutions!

We shaved incriminating evidence

Off a child molester's penis

And helped him get away with it!

Sean: we didn't know!

Matt: we didn't know!

We thought she was a manatee.

Henry: we have acted wickedly.

We have turned away from your

Good laws.

When a man commits any wrong

Toward a fellow man, thus

Breaking with adonai, he shall

Confess to wrong he has done.

Matt: it was a hit and run,

Henry!

You think they serve kosher food

In jail?

Henry: jail? W-Why--Why would

We go to jail if we turn

Ourselves in?

Matt: we had marijuana in the

Car--That's 10 years!

Henry: nobody has to know about

That.

Matt: they'll figure it out!

We didn't kill her.

This could all go away if we

Just keep it cool.

Sean: we have to keep a cool

Head here.

Christian: you may be

Comfortable with secrets--

Sean: what does that mean?

Christian: but i'm not--We have

To tell someone what we did!

Sean: are you forgetting patient

Confidentiality, christian?

Christian: oh, bullshit!

If a person is a threat to

Themselves or others, the point

Is moot--We're turning him in!

Henry: i don't care about jail.

I'm turning us in.

Matt: whoa. No, you are not,

Henry. Be smart.

Sean: be smart, christian.

Word leaks to the media that we

Turned him in--

Christian: are you defending

This monster?!

Sean: i'm defending my family.

Word travels fast in our

Luxurious circle.

You know that.

People see on the news that we

Breached ethical agreements,

And then suddenly our customers

Don't trust us with their

Secrets, and we go out of

Business!

I have a family to support.

I have 2 children to put through

College.

Matt: what about college, henry?

If a police record keeps you out

Of medical school, will the

World be better off?

We're not going to the police.

Christian: we're going to the

Police.

Sean: and we'll be called to

Trial and the church with their

Bottomless pockets will

Investigate every mistake we

Ever made!

You think liz will be quiet in

A room full of bloodsucking

Lawyers?

She'll lead them straight to the

Everglades, and it's off to

Prison we go!

Christian: he raped boys!

Sean: we have to do something.

Henry: isn't--Isn't your dad

Gonna work on her face?

I mean, isn't he gonna help us?

Sean: we'll call the diocese and

Tell them what we did,

Anonymously.

Christian: yes...and they'll

Kick him out and report what he

Did to the police.

Sean: then it's their problem.

We'll be ok.

Matt: my dad's visiting her

Tomorrow.

We're gonna be ok.

Kate: hello, matt.

Matt: hello.

Oh, mrs. Fitzgerald,

This is my dad.

Kate: oh...

matt: he's a doctor.

Kate: hello, dr. Mcnamara.

Sean: sean.

Matt tells me you're declining

Surgery for your daughter.

Kate: i've hired a practitioner,

One of the best.

The environment at home is much

More conducive to healing.

We'll be moving her tomorrow.

Sean: mrs. Fitzgerald, your

Daughter was in a serious

Accident.

Without plastic surgery, she'll

Be permanently disfigured.

Kate: false evidence appearing

Real.

Matt: mrs. Fitzgerald, you can't

Do this to her.

Cara wanted to fit in.

You said so yourself.

Now, you know how cruel--

Kate: matt...

Dr. Mcnamara, i respect your

Belief in materia medica, please

Respect my right as a parent to

Determine my daughter's course

Of treatment.

Kate: put that down.

[Sighs] dr. Mcnamara, please...

Sean: mrs. Fitzgerald, the

X-Rays indicate that your

Daughter suffered several

Fractures which are encroaching

On the optic nerve.

Kate: we're praying to heal

That.

Sean: would you like to see

If your prayers are working?

Matt, why don't you wait for me

In the cafeteria?

Matt: no, uh, i'd like to stay

And support cara.

Sean: mrs. Fitzgerald, i'm very

Concerned.

Kate: oh, cara.

Sean: the cheekbone compression

Has stopped blood supply to the

Optic nerve.

If we don't correct this with

Surgery--

Kate: no.

We'll pray harder.

Sean: as much as i support your

Right to do that, prayers won't

Stop your daughter from going

Blind.

Sean: she's gonna lose her site?

Sean: in less than 48 hours if

The blockage isn't repaired.

Mrs. Fitzgerald, you have to let

Me or my equivalent at this

Hospital operate on your

Daughter.

Kate: no.

This is an illusion.

Please leave.

Sean: if you don't agree to let

Me operate on your daughter--

Kate: you'll what?

Report me, dr. Mcnamara?

To whom?

Sean: i'll have no choice but to

Submit an immediate petition and

Take medical custody of cara.

Kate: you won't do that.

I love my daughter.

You can see that.

You won't do that.

Christan: so, since we have

Medical custody, does that mean

We have to pay for her college?

Seriously, what happens after we

Patch this pumpkin?

Sean: we're now legally bound to

Supervise the operation and her

Recuperation.

Christan: you think it's a good

Idea to let him watch this?

Sean: if i were a mechanic, my

Son would want to look under the

Hood with me once in a while,

Don't you think?

I gave him the option.

He was insistent.

Christan: i don't recall matty

Ever talking about this girl.

Sean: me, neither, but i'm proud

Of him.

He's been so compassionate about

Her.

Actually, if he didn't get

Involved when he did, she would

Have gone blind.

Christan: did you call them,

The diocese?

Sean: got a machine.

Christan: well, did you leave a

Message, though?

Sean: we're doing this

Anonymously, christian,

Remember?

Christan: it is so shocking to

Me, parents' disregard for their

Children's wellbeing:

Her mother, devon greco's

Father.

By the way, how was that

Appointment?

Sean: she canceled.

[Bell rings]

Devon: may i help--

Christan: i saw on your patient

Form that you owned your own

Flower store.

Devon: $45.

Wrap for you?

Trying to get in some girl's

Pants?

Christan: trying to say i'm

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

You should put those in water.

Look, i didn't mean to be rude

To you.

Devon: yeah.

Well, you were.

Christan: hey, i just sent you

Flowers.

Gimme a break.

And i'll give you one.

Devon: you'll give me a nose

Job?

Christan: yeah.

Devon: i saw him, you know...

my father.

Christan: accidentally?

Devon: purposely.

You were an asshole, but you

Were right.

When you wouldn't give me the

Operation, i realized, when was

It gonna be over?

I have his hands, too, and one

Toe on my left foot.

I realized, what was i gonna do,

Make over my entire body?

If i did that, he'd still be

Winning.

It was never gonna be over...

until i made it be over.

So i looked him up.

Christan: did you get what you

Needed?

Devon: that only happens in tv

Movies.

He just kept crying in his

Crappy studio apartment

And saying he was sorry.

He was sick.

He couldn't control it.

I thought i would cry

And rage and...

get it all out...

but i did nothing.

I felt...nothing.

Christan: what would you have

Done if he was dead and you

Never...

got to confront him?

Devon: why do you ask?

Christan: it's just good that

You got to deal with him and

What he did before he died.

Devon: yeah. Well...

won the battle, lost the war.

Even when he dies, there'll be a

Dozen other bastards rising up

To take his place...

and, just like him, they'll get

Away with it.

Shannon: thank you.

Thank you very much for coming.

You have good time?

You did good today.

You did.

You did very well.

I was very proud of you.

It was nice.

And next week, you'll be back?

You'll altar boy next week?

All right, that'll be fun.

Sean: how do you feel?

Megan: hung over.

Nervous.

Glad i did it.

How do they look, doctor?

Sean: it's my best work.

Matt: so, i read this article--

Ahem--That said people in a coma

Can hear everything you say,

Even though they probably won't

Remember anything when they wake

Up.

I'm sorry i never noticed you

Before at school.

And i'm sorry you felt so alone.

I did this to you, cara.

It was me.

And i'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

[Intercom beeps]

Woman: dr. Mcnamara, dr. Troy on

Line 2.

Sean: where are you?

Christan: the gym.

I needed to clear my head.

Did you hear back from the

Diocese?

Sean: not yet.

Look, if i can't get someone on

The phone by 5:00, we'll come up

With another plan.

Christan: don't worry, sean.

I'll take care of it.

Shannon: good afternoon.

You may begin.

Christan: forgive me, father,

For i have sinned.

It's been 22 years since my last

Confession.

These are my sins...

shannon: 22 years...

that's a long time.

Christan: i've lost my faith,

Father.

I've drank.

I've done drugs.

I've fornicated with women and

Discarded them like trash.

I've lost my soul.

The boys you raped will be

Saying the same thing in 20

Years.

Did you know that?

Shannon: i know that as a parent

Of one of my accusers, it's hard

To look at your own child and

Accept his lying.

Children make up stories.

Christan: i'm not a parent.

I'm your plastic surgeon,

Michael.

Remember me?

Shannon: i've stopped.

I was sick, and i've stopped.

I haven't touched anyone in 2

Years.

Christan: is this a confession,

Father?

Shannon: i've repented in my own

Way.

God doesn't judge.

Why do you?

Christan: are you ready to make

A confession, father?

Shannon: i have to live with it.

I've done better.

When does it stop?

Christan: are you ready to make

A confession, father?

Shannon: arghhh...

christan: make your confession.

You call the police and make

Your confession, or i will leave

You here to bleed out.

I know just which artery to cut.

Shannon: i can't.

I'm afraid.

If i go to prison, they'll kill

Me.

Christan: did you really think

You'd get away with it?

Shannon: there was no other way.

After all, aren't you in the

Business of lies?

[Screams]

I want to stop.

I do.

[Panting]

But when i see the boys...

i feel things.

Oh...god!

Forgive me.

I want them.

Christan: i have pictures.

You want redemption?

Turn yourself in.

Either way, you're goin' to

Jail.

Whether you go to hell is up to

You.

Shannon: all right.

Sean: christian, what have you

Done?

What are you doing here?

Christan: i can't do it, sean.

Sean: you can't do what?

Christan: i've been praying...

to forgive, but i can't do it.

Sean: the authorities will deal

With him now.

Christan: not him.

Me.

Sean: what did you do?

Christan: i let him touch me.

For years, i let him touch me.

Sean: who?

Christan: mr. Troy.

Your foster father?

He's dead, and i thought

That would end it,

But it didn't.

Sean: christian, you were just a

Boy.

If he abused you...

it was his fault.

He had the power.

He's the one.

Christan: i didn't have anything

When he took me in.

I wanted to be...somebody.

He said he'd give me money

If i let him touch me.

And i did.

I bought things.

I sold myself.

Oh...

oh, god...

i sold myself.

Oh, god.

Oh, god.
