Release

Shit! I've gotta sign out my shift.

Hurry, then.

See you tomorrow night?

Just go! !

Behind the line!

Step forward.. .

Uhh! Fuck off!

Get your 'ands off me you gay cunts! !

We know what you're carrying Rook!

I'll fuckin' tear your heads off! !

You're giving us no choice.

Go on then, finger-fuck me dyke bitch!

Hello handsome...

You've got the look of a saintly pervert about you...

Holy Mary Mother of God.

Prayer for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.

Forever and ever. Amen.

And who will forgive you, father?

Jesus will absolve us both, with his love and forgiveness.

I love you...

Where did you get these from?

Even priests have a past.

Trust me.

Tell me about it.

No.

Not yet.

I wish Rook were here...

Then I wouldn't be here.

Hey, it wasn't your fault...

Want to borrow one of mine?

No use to me mate...

You got any gash mags?

Need to...get rid of some tension, you know, bash the bishop.

Well, I might have some nun porn somewhere.

Didn't mean to lose it bud.

Words do me 'ead in.

Story of my life, can't handle me temper. S'why I'm in 'ere.

I was hooked on crack, couldn't handle it. Made me do fucked up shit.

But I'm clean now.

So erm...what's getting to you now?

I'm gettin' well squeezed about that scrag.

I had some for a bit, but got rid of it.

I ain't no pusher, I know what that shit does to ya!

Calm down!

Look, just tell the governor who you were carrying it for.

The longer you hold out the more they'll squeeze you.

Those toxic cunts are only interested in fingers shoved up my ass.

Just like those sick fuckers in care...

Oh mate. ..

Who were you protecting Rook?

Because I don't see anybody protecting you.

Sweet.

Like two caged lovebirds.

Father Gillie, isn't it?

Got a taste for pretty young things I hear...

Fatherly love is it.. . Father.

I'm sorry, you must have me confused with somebody else.

Really. Well it is so easy to make a mistake around here.

I'll catch you later.

Is that who you're protecting?

Max.

He got busted for swindling people, and murdering his wife.

Creeps around like an effing ghost, like he owns the place.

Don't cross him, that's all I can tell ya.

Ah, fuck.

Goodnight.

Chief.

Officer Crane. An excellent first few months. Exemplary in fact.

Thank you.

But I hear you voiced a few objections to our procedures.

I wouldn't say objections Chief... just concerns.

Oh, it's not a criticism Martin. In fact, I admire your integrity.

We could do with more like you around here.

It's just that...

...some things are left the way they are.

Don't get me wrong.

I'm all for new ideas, but as I'm sure you can appreciate,

it's a difficult balance to strike.

Chief, when I chose this profession I wanted to make a difference.

I don't think any of us walk a straight path.

I'm not that different to them. Making choices every day,

good and bad.

And in the end. ..we are those choices.

You're quite the idealist aren't you Martin?

Not many thinkers on my team.

I wonder how long your evangelism's gonna last?

Maybe we should get you a dog collar?

No need Chief, this uniform's quite enough.

Well...Officer Crane...

I'm going to be watching your progress very closely.

Just lay off the preaching OK?

They're convicts, not converts.

Enter...

'Scuse me.

Hey handsome...

You're not too bad yourself.

Just out of interest, when did you know.. .

What? That I wanted you?

First time I saw you. I could see beyond the halo.. .

Never thought I'd find someone in here though!

What about you?

My first love was always....

Body of Christ...

Amen.

The Church assists with denial, in fact it actively promotes it.

It's.. . rooted in guilt, steeped in hypocrisy.

I thought I could change things.

How did you cope?

I had music to help me.

Music became my passion.

It was my mistress.

It got me through a lot. Shielded me from temptation.

Music saved me for a while, but, now I'm deaf without it.

Muted before God.

Was that too much?

Just enough.

Even in darkness there is light.. . and in the silence heavenly choirs sing...

That's the beginning of a homily if ever I heard one.

Are you sure you're not after my old job?

You know, you're the second person to say that...

Fuck...I thought I was the only one on this level!

My place next time.

Jesus will absolve us both, with his love and forgiveness.

I love you...

You're shittin' me, right?

I ain't readin' kiddies books in front of this lot.

Well once you've got your head around that...

You can move on, to the heavy stuff. Enjoy

If it's inspiration your looking for Father, why not lose yourself

in an old classic?

Take a trip down memory lane with the word of the Lord!

Fuck off!

Little gay boy reading his kids book...

How sweet, eh?

Fuck off! Fuck you!

Looks like the lads will have to help him out with his late fees.

Fuck off! Get off me! Fuck off!

Shut up!

Oi !

Can we get some help please!

Get out!

Come on lads.

We'll sell tickets next time...

Is he okay?

That was it for me. Seeing you stand up for Rook like that.

You'd have done the same thing.

They'd have choked him to death otherwise.

I didn't have a choice.

But you did. You chose to help.

We're defined by the choices we make.

So, here are questions for us to consider today:

Have you ever been mad at someone who has made you do something

you didn't want to do?

Or perhaps someone has asked you to do something that you know

you cannot do.

Or perhaps you've thought about doing something that you hate

yourself for even contemplating?

Would you forgive them?

Would you forgive yourself and would they forgive you?

God allows us to forgive.

But does God expect us to forgive in all circumstances?

And if he repents forgive him, forgive me.

I don't think that he does.

He is infallible. We are not.

In the Bible, Luke 1 7:3 says, ''take heed to yourselves,

If thy brother should trespass against thee, rebuke him,

And if he repents, forgive him.''

Matthew also says,

If thy Brother shall trespass against thee, go tell him his fault between

thee and him alone.

If he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

If he shall not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more,

That in the mouth of two, or three witnesses every word

may be established.''

If he shall neglect to hear them, tell it to the church:

But if he neglect to hear the church let him be unto thee

as a heathen man.

And if he neglects to hear the church, let him be unto thee

as a heathen man!''

I wouldn't bother.

It'll only hurt you more than it hurts her.

Hey...

It's okay.

What you did back there, is a good thing.

If you hadn't stepped in, they'd be scraping Rook's face of the

library floor by now.

Jack?

Get off!

Don't touch me!

Ahh!

Fucking perv!

They say cleanliness is next to Godliness!

It'll take more than soap and water to wash away your sins, Father.

What the fuck?

Shut the fuck up!

Hit him again!

No!

No!

Danny!
