Original subtitles

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

- While pride is considered a serious sin,

it is not always a bad thing

to be prideful about your work ethic.

As long as it doesn't make you arrogant

and lead you into temptation.

- Yes, Father.

- Let me tell you the story of two men.

This is a story of where

pride led to arrogance and betrayal.

It's the story of Abraham and Isaac,

two friends who owned restaurants.

Abraham owned one restaurant,

a very good restaurant,

the locals loved it,

it had a personal touch.

Isaac owned three restaurants.

They agreed with one another

that they should form a partnership

and that would be good for all of the eateries.

- But that's not what happened.

- No, because Isaac became greedy

He gave Abraham a contract

that was filled with legal clauses that were

not in Abraham's interest.

Being the trusting soul that he was,

Abraham did not get a lawyer to overlook it

and just signed the contract never suspecting

that his old friend Isaac would ever swindle him.

Came to pass that, indeed,

Abraham was swindled out of his restaurant.

Isaac took advantage of him

and in the end,

Abraham had to sell his restaurant to Isaac

at a fraction of the cost of its actual value.

- Be a man!

Abraham had nowhere to turn.

All he could do was appeal to God.

And God does not appreciate this kind of behavior.

"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods."

I understand, Father.

- Alright, my son, for your penance,

I give you three Hail Marys and four Our Fathers

and advise you to sit in the middle of the third pew.

There you shall have the plenitude

of forgiveness for your penance and for your good works.

Go now and sin no more.

- Thank you, Father. - Yes, my son.

Here you go, Father.

- Oh, thank you.

- What the fuck?

Sorry, sir.

- Hey, can't you read the sign? We're closed!

- I understand

and I'm really sorry to bother, man, I just been

walking around for quite some time, I got a little lost.

Your place is the first place I seen with the lights on.

- Hey, man, I told you, we're closed.

- Yeah, I understand that, my man,

I'm just really, really thirsty.

I was just hoping you can give me a glass of water?

I'll pay for it.

- I appreciate you. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Come on, hurry it up, I wanna get out of here, huh?

- Aw man, how much I owe you?

- You don't owe me anything,

now hit the road, will ya?

- I'm good?

- Now don't let the door hit you on your way out!

We're gonna go to the store,

we're gonna get the toy, chill.

- What is this!?

- Hey honey, sit right here,

I'm gonna be back in just a second.

Mr. Freedman, I'm so sorry,

I really need to talk to you about my check.

- I already told you, I'm not the fucking bank.

I don't do loans.

Yeah, you're not, look,

you're not only a lazy bitch,

but you don't fucking listen!

That's not my problem, Stephanie.

- I'll do whatever you ask, please.

- So let me get this straight.

You don't have a father, no grandparents,

no aunts, uncles, no family at all

and you don't go to school.

- I guess.

My mom homeschools me,

and when she has to go to work

I stay at home or get dropped off at the playground.

- You know you can't stay here, right?

- But you brought me here!

- Don't be a smart-ass.

- You're not supposed to curse.

- Your mom never cursed?

- She did, but she was trying to stop.

She said it was a addition.

- You mean addiction.

- Yeah.

- Cursing is not an addiction.

- But that's what she said it was.

She was trying to stop,

so she could set an example for me.

Is...is my mom dead?

- Enough with the questions.

In fact, that's one of the rules you need to follow, OK?

Don't ask questions, you understand?

Do you understand?

I guess you can stay here, but only tonight.

- Can you at least tell me a bedtime story?

- There was these two restaurant owners.

One of them betrayed the other, the end.

- That's the story?

Who told you that story?

Your dad, now go to sleep.

- Wait, can you tell me another story?

Good night!

Fight!

No mercy!

You're going to be doing God's work, my son.

And your father will be fine, everything is fine.

We serve God and execute the ones who do wrong.

In this gift, you will find money, photos,

time and location

and the way God has called for you--

We shall not question God's way

and never share it.

Or tell about our doing.

Get out now! Get out!

- Matthew!

Or risk the punishment of the Almighty.

- Is everything OK?

Yeah.

- Did you break a glass?

Why?

- It helps me relax.

- Why am I on a garbage bag?

Did I pee on your couch?

- No.

- Then why am I-- - What's the rule?

Get over here.

What's the rule?

- No questions.

When I get upset, I think of good memories,

and that really relaxes me.

- I don't have any good memories.

- Everyone at least has one.

- Not me.

Sit down.

- Thank you, Father, for seeing me.

- How can I help you, my good man?

- It's about the situation

that I need taken care of. - I see.

Did you bring me information that I asked you for?

- Yes, sir.

- I think we can be of some help.

- Thank you, Father.

Thank you.

- Go with God.

-Thank you.

- Embrace your will in the Almighty's glory.

- Where are you going?

- Work.

- What do you do for work?

- It's none of your business.

- Aren't you dropping me off at the playground?

- Later. Listen.

Don't make any noise.

Don't play the TV too loud.

If anyone comes to the door,

pretend like you didn't hear it.

No one needs to know you're here.

- Why?

- I'll be back.

- How was your day today, my son?

- It was good.

Successful, Father.

- Very good. Any problems?

- There was a kid

waiting outside for his mom.

He lost her inside so--

...exploded earlier today.

Took him home for the night.

Casualties were minimal.

However, there have been reports--

We could've taken him in as we took you in.

I thought about that, Father,

but he's a weak kid.

And on top of it, he has family that would've missed him so

I thought it'd be best if I just take him home to them.

- Too bad.

Alright.

Let me tell you the story of a man named Nick

who was in a big law firm

and who would use any method he could devise

for advancement, he had no compunctions

about doing things illegal and immoral

so that he could rise up the ladder.

He had another failing,

that of campaigning for one-night escapades with women.

It came to pass that one of these episodes

turned into a longer lasting thing,

and the terrible thing was

that she was the wife of one of the partners

in the law firm.

Her husband, Eric,

seeing that his wife was pulling away from him,

hired a private investigator,

and the private investigator gave him proof

of his wife's infidelities.

So he had no option but to turn to God.

And God disapproves of this kind of behavior mightily.

"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife."

- I understand, Father.

- Very good.

For your penance I give you

two Hail Marys and three Our Fathers

and you would be well advised to sit in the second pew

closer to God in the center section in the middle.

Go with God, say no more.

Hey, you live in 1202, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I live in the apartment across from you.

I know.

It is 27 year-old

Elizabeth Stevenson, a nurse at Kingdom Psych.

- I promise I didn't turn the TV too loud.

- Good, did you take a shower?

- I'm not dirty.

- Go take a shower

and leave your clothes outside the bathroom.

- Fine.

My clothes are wet!

They'll dry, come here.

- But my-- - Put this on.

- How will-- - Turn around.

- What is it? What is that?

- I'm gonna put this in your pocket, OK?

- What is it? - It's a gift.

Turn around, let's go.

- Why don't you have any pets?

Do you work a lot?

Do you think you can't take care of a dog or a cat?

Maybe we could get a fish.

Or maybe a bird?

And what do you do for work?

Are you a doctor, lawyer, fireman?

It's probably a job where you work long hours,

which is why you don't have any pets

and a messy apartment.

I can stay with you if you want.

I can be helpful around the house.

Then you won't have to do it yourself

or hire a maid.

- I'm dropping you off at the bus stop.

If a cop or someone asks you what happened,

tell them exactly what went down yesterday

at the restaurant.

You lost your mom and you have nowhere to stay.

You could even tell them a black man took you to his house,

gave you food and money, but that's it, capiche?

- What's capiche?

- Do you understand?

- But I don't wanna go, I wanna stay with you.

- You can't stay with me,

I don't like company, I don't like kids.

- Nobody likes me.

- Hey.

I'm sure a lot of people like you.

I just like to be alone.

It has nothing to do with you.

Come on, let's go.

Sit down.

You remember what I said?

Good luck, kid.

I knew you were going to come back for me!

- I didn't know I was coming back.

- I did, my mom said it was called int, intu--

- Intuition.

- Yeah, that.

Anyway, I promise I'll be good.

- Listen, if you're gonna stay another night or two,

because make no mistake, this isn't permanent.

There's a couple of rules you need to follow.

One, no questions.

Non-negotiable. Non-negotiable!

Two, there's no toys, no cartoons.

And three, you eat what I give you.

There's no menu, you got it?

Got it?

-Yeah.

- Walk.

- Hey, neighbor.

I didn't know you had a kid.

- I don't, I'm just watching him for a couple of days.

- Oh, well that's nice of you.

Hi, I'm Tara.

- I'm Matthew.

- It's nice to meet you, cutie.

I don't mean to be rude,

but I've got an audition to get to.

Maybe I'll see you guys around.

- She's nice.

- Rule number four, no talking to the neighbors.

Let's go.

I have to go to work.

- But you just went to work!

- I have to go back to work.

- You didn't finish before you came home?

- Had to deal with you first.

- Well what kind of work are you able to do

that you can leave and go back whenever you want to?

- It's dangerous.

And I don't want to talk about it.

- Is it like a soldier?

- Yeah, exactly like a soldier.

- I want to be a soldier.

- You're too young.

- But I watch a lot of soldier movies.

- Trust me, you don't want to do what I do.

- How do you know that?

- If you want to stay here until I figure out

what to do with you,

you have to just stop with all of the questions.

- I'm naturally curious, I'm a kid.

Can you at least come up with a certain number

of questions I can ask a day?

- Fine, but not too many.

- How many is too many?

- Kid.

- Fine, I'll stay home and clean and when you--

- No. No.

Don't touch nothing in my house,

I like it just the way it is.

Just sit here, watch TV, and don't do nothing else.

- But it's just the news.

- So?

- I'm six.

- You're never too young to start learning about

your current events.

Now sit here and watch TV,

don't touch nothing else.

- Fine.

- Hey babe, what's up?

Why, what's going on?

Hold on, what are you talking about?

My boss?

How did he find out?

Shit.

Alright, alright, I'm leaving, I'm leaving.

- Hold on a minute, OK?

What do you want, some money?

Forgive me, I'm sorry

it wasn't even my idea, it was hers!

- Close your eyes, pray with me.

- Pray with you, what are you talking about?

- Pray.

That ye may be sincere

and without offense 'til the day of Christ,

being filled with the fruits of righteousness.

- What happened to your shirt?

- The second I walk through the door

and already with the questions?

- Wait!

- I made you dinner!

- You made me what?

- Dinner!

Tada!

- You expect me to eat this?

- Yeah, it's everything I could find in the kitchen.

- This don't look edible.

- Everything in the kitchen's edible.

- Not all mixed together like this,

look at this mess!

Didn't I tell you to just sit down and watch TV?

- I was just trying to help.

- Come on, we'll go out and eat.

You a big pizza fan?

- It's my favorite.

- If I knew this what it took

to get you to stop talking,

I'd have brought you here yesterday.

- My mom used to take me to eat pizza all the time.

I miss my mom.

We would also play together all the time.

- What y'all used to do?

- She would read to me,

and we would play with my toys,

but usually we would play games.

- Like what?

- The usual.

Candy Land.

Go Fish.

My favorite was Battleship.

- I never played that one.

- Really?

It's awesome.

If you want, we can play tonight.

- It's too late.

I don't have that game anyway.

- We could use the stuff around the house.

- Games don't interest me.

- Why not?

- They just don't.

- But everyone likes games, they're so much fun.

- I don't.

- But if you don't play with me, who will?

- Use your imagination, kid.

I'm sure you think of a game you can play by yourself.

What?

This is how we play Battleship.

You tell me a number and a letter,

and if you land on my battleship,

I tell you you exploded a part of my ship,

and if you miss, it's my turn.

And if you explode my whole ship,

I tell you you sunk my battleship.

- Kid, this is way too complicated.

You sure this is a game?

- Yeah, really, I used to have it.

- I don't believe it.

- Come on, it's going to be fun.

- It's never fun when you're being blackmailed.

- Blackmail, what does that mean?

- When someone forces you into doing something

against your will.

- I didn't blackmail you.

- You knew what you was doing,

asking all those questions at the pizza place.

You know I'd say yes to a game if you'd shut up.

- Don't worry, you'll get better with practice.

- Yeah, we'll see.

I'll be back.

And don't look at none of my shit.

Matthew!

Matthew!

What happened?

Nothing.

-No one starts crying for no reason.

- My mom used to tell me not to cheat

when she went to the restroom.

I miss my mom.

- You know...

I didn't really know my mom growing up.

She passed away giving birth to me.

That's sad.

What about your dad?

- I have very little memories of him.

Why?

- He left me at a young age.

- That's sad, too.

Then who raised you?

-I was raised in a church.

A priest named Father Antonio

took care of me, took me in,

taught me how to do God's work.

- You're a soldier that works for God.

- Yeah, sorta.

I want to tell you something.

Sometimes when you're feeling sad and down,

good thoughts actually lift you up and make you happier.

- Hey, I told you that.

- It was good advice.

So those memories you have of your mom,

you gotta hold on to 'em,

and remember, soldiers never cry.

- I will be a good soldier and I won't cry,

and I'll find out who killed my mom

and kill them back.

So, you wanna finish Battleship?

-Oh, no.

I had enough of your cheating for one night.

No, really, I wasn't cheating!

- Yes, you was, I said 5A like three times.

One time you said yes, another time you said no.

I know you wasn't telling me the truth.

- Really, I wasn't cheating!

- Nah, not tonight.

And besides, I got a long day tomorrow.

I need to sleep on and figure out my strategy

on how I'ma beat you.

- You'll never beat me, I rock this game!

- We'll see.

- So, you ready to go?

You're going to leave me here with no food again?

- What are you talking about, there's plenty of food.

- The food you have here is disgusting.

- It's healthy.

Find something here to eat, I gotta go.

- Oh, wait!

Yes!

- Hey kid, you got enough money for all that?

- If I didn't, would I have

put all this stuff in the cart?

- Well, you know, I just don't wanna

go and ring all this up

and then have to void it in the end.

- Got any more questions?

- Mm, you should be in school, shouldn't you?

- School holiday.

- Yeah, which one?

- You ask too many questions.

Oh, now I get it.

- Hey, cutie.

- Hey.

- You shopping all by yourself?

- I was just wondering that myself.

- Oh, well, he lives in my building,

although you probably couldn't tell

'cause he's not being very friendly.

- Kyle told me not to talk to the neighbors.

- How come?

- I don't know,

probably doesn't want me to annoy them or something.

- How are you gonna get all that home by yourself?

Look, I bet he wouldn't mind you

talking to me long enough until we get this home, right?

So your parents went on vacation, huh?

Yeah.

I haven't been on vacation in years.

Why? How come?

Well, leading the life of a starving artist

doesn't give you much money.

You hungry?

You can come eat with me.

No, a starving artist is someone

who wants to work in entertainment

and doesn't have a good paying job

while they wait for their big break.

Why would anyone wanna think of that?

I'm starting to ask myself that every day.

I want to be a soldier when I grow up.

Isn't that a bit dangerous?

I know, but I'm going to be a good one.

So you decided to skip police officer and cowboy

and just go straight for soldier, huh?

I dig it, shows a lot of character.

What's character?

Character is the traits and qualities that make you you.

Like shopping by yourself in the store.

That makes you independent,

and asking a girl if she's hungry

and wants something to eat, well, that's kindness.

You know, you're well on your way

to becoming a good man, Matthew.

I dig it.

- Remember to pray, son.

- Where'd you get the food?

- I went to the store.

- You make one of your inedible messes again?

- You should probably be more encouraging.

Don't be mad at him,

we ran into each other at the store,

he needed some help with his bags.

- It's not my fault, I told her that

you told me not to talk to neighbors.

- Really, I don't mind.

It gets lonely around here.

It's nice to have someone to talk to.

- That's great.

- Come on, try it.

- I'm not trying to get food poisoning.

- I'll try it.

Mm.

That's pretty good.

- See, I told you it wouldn't be bad.

- I'm gonna take mine and go now that Kyle's back.

Aw, do you have to?

- I'm sure she got more important things to do, kid.

- Actually I don't.

It's sad, I know.

Look, if you ever need someone to watch him

or take him out while he's here,

I'd be happy to do it.

- Oh, no, that won't be necessary.

- See you guys later.

- I promise it wasn't my fault.

- I don't want you talking to the neighbors.

- But we only talked about stuff we like doing.

We didn't talk about my mom.

Oh, and that cashier lady,

she was asking like a hundred questions.

Then I understood why you didn't want me to ask

so many questions.

- So does that mean--

- Yes, I'll try not to ask so many questions.

- Good.

- Oh, and I bought a DVD.

But you don't have a DVD player.

- Who needs a DVD player?

- I do!

I'm getting bored of the news.

It's depressing.

- True, but it's also educational.

What kind of DVD did you buy?

I know not cartoons.

- Well.

- If you want to be a soldier,

you can't watch cartoons.

- Everybody watches cartoons.

- I didn't.

- You didn't play games,

you didn't watch cartoons,

what did you do when you were a kid?

- I studied.

- Boring.

What are we going to do tonight?

- I have to go to work.

- You're going to be a soldier again?

Can I come?

- I told you, you're too young and it's too dangerous.

- If you let me come I could be very helpful.

- I don't want you to help.

I want you to just stay here and watch the house,

can you do that for me?

- Yes.

- This is your mission, cadet.

I need you to stay here, watch the house,

make sure no one comes in and steals anything.

Can you do that for me?

- Yes, sir!

- Can I count on you, cadet?

- Aye aye, captain!

- That's a pirate.

- Oh, I mean, yes, sir!

- Soldiers always start out with a small task,

and if you could do this for me,

after a while, I'll give you a more dangerous assignment.

OK?

- OK.

- OK.

Good morning, Father.

- Good morning, my son.

Are you alright?

- Yeah, why do you ask?

- You sound different.

- What do you mean? I'm fine.

- I can tell when something is weighing on your soul.

- No, I'm good, it's just, just a little tired,

I guess you can say.

- Why is that?

- I was, uh, couple parties going on

at my apartment, loud neighbors.

- Now you must understand that your body is God's body

and you have to respect it and get sleep.

- Yes, Father, do you have a story for me today?

Yes, I do.

This is the story of a young boy

who was taken in when he had no one

and nowhere to turn.

He was taken in by a good and holy man

who treated him like a son, took care of him

so that he was fed well and taken care of properly.

The boy had trust issues,

but after a while he came to trust the holy man

and became very close together, very close.

And the young man grew up to be

a bright and talented person,

someone everyone could be proud of.

But then,

he started to do things that were not

in the best interest of the holy man's well-being.

He was disloyal.

And when God sees disloyalty,

he knows it.

And he will punish.

"Honor thy mother and thy father."

Now go to the church, sit in the fifth pew.

And ask God's wisdom,

feel the Holy Ghost around you.

Go with God and sin no more.

- Yes, Father.

Johnny?

Johnny!

Johnny!

Johnny?

- Yeah, Ms. Thompson.

Is everything OK there?

- Yeah, just practicing my moves.

OK, just be careful there.

- He lied to you.

Father Antonio, it's all lies.

- Why?

I loved him like a son.

Oh, God, help me.

I'm sorry, but I need to talk to you about this.

- You know we don't discuss anything like that in here.

- No, I don't think you do understand that.

We don't discuss anything here.

- Where did you get this?

- I found it when I was cleaning.

- I told you not to clean the house.

Didn't I?

Didn't I tell you not clean the house?

- I'm sorry, but when you came home last night,

you looked so sad, so I thought I would do this

and to surprise you,

but now I just made you feel worse.

- Listen, I'm sorry for yelling at you.

But I already told you not to touch things around here.

I'm asking you to listen to me.

If you want to be a soldier

you have to listen to your commander.

- I'm sorry, but at least the house is clean.

- Thank you, I appreciate it.

But you can't do this anymore.

OK?

- OK.

- Did you eat?

- I was waiting for you.

- Why don't you get breakfast together

while I get ready?

- Cocoa Pebbles or Fruit Loops?

- Did you get any cereal without any sugar in it?

- Blessings.

Cherish your roots.

- Good morning, Father.

Good morning, my son.

How are you feeling?

- Not so good, Father.

- I understand.

Yesterday was a terrible day,

do you want to talk about it?

- No, Father.

I understand that

there are things that are just out of my control

and I must allow my faith in God

to outweigh whatever doubts I may hold.

- You have doubts.

- Sometimes.

- About what?

- About why we do what we do.

Who gets chosen and why.

- That is only natural, my son.

It reminds me of a story I once heard,

if you want to make God laugh,

tell him your plans.

None of us have any idea

why things happen the way they do.

None of us know what God's plan is for us.

We can think about it and speculate and pray about it,

but in the end, only God knows what his plan is for us.

- Yes, Father.

- Because of yesterday's terrible event,

I'm going to give you some time to meditate

and get right with God.

See, it's alright to have doubts,

as long as you make your peace with the Holy Ghost.

- I understand, Father.

- Alright, go into the church,

say two Our Fathers and two Hail Marys

sit in the sixth row in the middle.

Receive a gift for your service in God's army

and receive God's plenteous benediction.

Go now and sin no more.

- Thank you, Father.

- Hi, anything I can help you with?

- I'm looking for clothes for a little boy.

- A little boy? What size?

- Small.

- Small? How small?

I see.

What kind of clothes are you looking for?

- Something soldier-like.

- Did you know three out of five people

are diagnosed with cancer

and two of them usually die from the disease?

See, that's what happens when I don't get to watch cartoons.

I learn depressing statics.

- Statistics.

- Yeah, that.

What you got there?

- Oh, nothing.

Just something for you.

- Really? Really?

Could I see? What is it?

Can I see it?

But I thought you said I couldn't have any games?

- You want me to take it back?

- No, no, thank you!

- I figured the only to know if you're cheating me

is if I get the actual game.

- I wasn't cheating.

- Yeah, we'll see about that soon enough.

And I figure, you know,

I should learn some decent stories to tell you.

- Yeah, you do.

Yours were terrible.

- They weren't that bad.

- They were the worst!

So, think you have some time to play?

- Actually, I got a couple days off.

Looks like I have enough time to learn

how to beat you after all.

- You'll never beat me. - Oh, never huh?

Come on, let's see about that.

- You ready?

- Let's do this.

- He found that he could not get out again.

After he had been in a well a long time,

a thirsty goat came by.

The goat thought the fox had gone down to drink.

And so he asked if the water was good.

"The finest in the whole country," said the crafty fox.

"Jump in and try it,

"there is more than enough for the both of us."

I guess it's gonna be weird now

when his folks get back.

Yeah.

When do they get back anyway?

They actually extended their trip

for a few more days, so.

Oh, cool.

What?

No, nothing.

It's just I just realized

I've gotten to know you better in the past two days

than I have in the entire two years you've lived here.

Nothing worth knowing, Tara.

It's really not.

I wouldn't be so sure about--

Um.

Tara, I think you're a great girl,

and everything is just um--

Gay.

What? No, no, no.

So there's a secret wife or a girlfriend?

Neither.

I'm just really not your type.

You're everyone's type.

I'm just not looking for anyone right now,

If it was a different time or different situation.

Hey, look, I really hope I didn't just

make things awkward between us.

Not at all.

OK, good, because I really do

want to get to know you better.

- You're welcome.

- Blessing's calling.

- You only use that if you're going to work.

- Vacation's been cut short.

- You have to?

- When the boss sends for you, there's nothing you can do.

I gotta go, though, so I'll see you in a bit.

- My son, thank you for getting here so quickly.

- You said it was urgent, Father?

- It is.

I'm going to tell you the story

of an evil name by the name of Sam.

Sam is what is known as a loan shark,

you know what that is.

-I do.

- He lends money to people at usurious rates

and puts them under great stress.

They're in need, he lends them money,

but the payback is enormous, much more

than the original loan.

One of his borrowers

raised enough money

to almost pay this man Sam back,

but not quite enough

and he knows that if he does not pay him in full

by three o'clock today,

he puts his family jeopardy, his wife and his son

as well as himself.

- I understand, Father.

- You understand that these people are dear to me.

-I do.

- Alright.

Church, say three Our Fathers, two Hail Marys,

sit in the second pew

and accept God's benediction,

his magnificence and plentiful apostolic blessings.

Go with God, sin no more.

- Thank you, Father.

- A fox fell into a well

who it was not very deep,

he found that.

Another present for me?

- No, this one's for me.

I need it for work this afternoon.

- Can I come with you?

I just thought if I ask you enough,

at some point you would say yes to shut me up.

- It's not happening, so stop asking.

- Can you at least drop me off at the playground?

- Can't Tara take you?

- Tara has a audition all day.

- Put your jacket on.

Be back in a couple hours. - OK!

- Don't leave and don't talk to anybody.

- Hello, I'm a pro at this, goodbye!

- We got a problem.

The boy, he's still out there.

Got every department and the FBI looking for him.

You need to find him,

otherwise, your whole operation's gonna go down.

I can't protect you anymore, understand?

- How you doing, I have a delivery for Mr. Sam Taylor.

- Yeah, you can leave it there.

- Alright, perfect, is it OK if I use the bathroom?

- Sure. - Thank you.

- There's a package downstairs you need to sign,

they won't let me bring it up unless you sign it.

Again?

Can I help you?

Maybe, I'm looking for my friend.

I don't think your little friend

came in here, sweetie.

- Oh, so cute.

Is he yours?

- No, I think he's lost.

- He's not little,

he's big and he's dressed just like me.

Nobody here's dressed like you.

- Look!

- Let's go! - Hey, how did you--

- Wrong address.

Hey, excuse me!

- Where'd you get these clothes?

What was you doing there in the first place?

You hear me talking to you?

- You ask way too many questions.

Did you kill him?

- What'd you say?

- Did you kill him?

- Hey.

You don't want to be like me.

You understand?

Now when we get home

we gotta hurry up and pack because we gotta go away.

- Where are we going?

- Change your clothes, we leave in 10 minutes.

You rea--

My best man and you lied to me.

You took the boy.

- I was gonna tell you about the boy, I just--

Oh, no, I know what you were going to do,

it's what you should have done.

You're gonna raise this little child in this squalor,

in this awful place, is that what you're gonna do?

You should've taken him to me.

I would've taken care of him, given him a home!

- Like you took care of me?

- Oh.

You have complaints?

Where do you think you would've ended up

if I didn't take you in and take care of you, huh,

you'd be on the street or worse.

I made you a servant of God!

And this is how you repay me?

You're coming with me, come on.

- I don't wanna go!

- Very well.

You have exactly one minute.

- Don't worry.

You're not going too far.

I'll see you.

- I thought I was being good.

I cleaned and swept,

I did everything you asked me to,

I even stopped asking so many questions.

- Yes, you did.

- So why can't I stay with you?

- Because you're going to a better place

where they can take care of you properly

and they have DVD players

so you can actually watch your cartoons.

- I don't want to watch cartoons,

I want to watch the news.

I don't care,

I just want to stay with you!

- You can't, kid.

I'm not equipped to take care of someone else.

Father Antonio, he can help you better than I can.

- You just want to get rid of me!

Tired of me, aren't you?

That's the real reason why you wanted me to pack my bags!

- It's alright, from now on,

everything will be alright, son.

- I'm not your son.

- You're upset.

Of course, anyone who lost their mother would be upset.

I understand that.

Do you know how you lost your mother?

She was killed.

Do you know who killed your mother?

It was your friend Kyle.

Sorry to tell you that.

But from now on,

you will be doing God's work.

You'll forget everything and be happy

in his bountiful grace.

- You still want to get to know me better?

-Father.

- Hello, boys.

- We have a problem.

- What problem?

- It's Kyle.

- What's the problem with Kyle?

- He took the kid.

- You are to go there now, right now

and do whatever you have to do

to get that boy and bring him back here.

- Father, I can't, I can't--

- This is not a discussion.

- I-- - Now!

- Yes, Father.

- You sleep alright?

- You killed my mom!

- Hey! Relax!

Relax!

There's not a day that goes by

that I don't feel bad about what happened to your mom.

- You liar!

- When I was your age,

I was taken away from my father.

Father Antonio told me that

I'd be working for God, serving God.

So I would go and kill anybody

Father Antonio asked me to

because I believed that I was killing in the name of God.

And the day came when I had to kill your mother's boss.

When you two walked in the restaurant,

that day my life changed.

I tried to save you and your mom, but I couldn't.

I was only able to save you.

There's nothing I can do to fix what I did.

If there is a God,

I need to be punished.

I've done terrible things in my life.

And right now the only thing I care about

is saving yours.

But I promise you this,

the man responsible for killing your mom

is gonna pay for it today.

Sit down!

- That's so cool!

Wait, please don't leave me!

It's OK.

- I don't wanna go!

- You gotta go, OK, go, go!

- But I don't want--

- No, it's gonna be OK, alright?

- Kyle! - Let's go!

No, Kyle help! Kyle!

We serve God and execute the ones who do wrong.

We shall not question God's way

and never share or tell about our doings

or risk the punishment of the Almighty.

- Look what you have done.

God will not forgive you for this.

- And you think he'll forgive you?

- I'm the Lord's vessel.

He speaks through me,

his will be done through me.

- Cut the shit, Father.

I see straight through you,

the real you, and I'm not buying it anymore.

- Blasphemer!

- You old, fake, miserable, mother--

- I will not let you speak that way to me to dishonor me.

You're just like your father.

- What?

- Did you think you were the first in your family

to go through the program?

How do you think I found you?

No! No!

- Your father and I went through the program together

back when Father Patrick was head of the congregation.

I was Father Patrick's favorite.

I stood to inherit all of this when he died.

And he died, and I inherited all of it,

but your father was weak.

He was not like the rest of us, he wanted out.

And as you very well know,

as it was in the case of Johnny,

there is really no way out of this.

- Your people,

they're the ones who took him from me?

- But then I took you in

and raised you as if you were my son.

Made you someone the organization was so proud of.

But ultimately, you're just your father's son.

- You think I'm gonna let you live with this?

I will kill .

- Oh, you're going to kill me,

I don't think you're in a position

to do anything like that.

You know, it'd be a lot better if you just

told me where the boy is.

- You'll never find him, you hear me?

- There's a lot of places I could still shoot you

while I wait for my answer.

- You got your answer, you coward!

- Sorry it had to end like this, son.

- I'm not your son!

- That you may be sincere

and without offense 'til the day of the Christ

being filled with the fruits of righteousness--

- Go to hell, you damn--

- Say hello to your father on your way to hell.
