SPERE Well,it looks like a knife to the neck. HAZEL Yeah. SPERE But I'll have to bring her to the city and get a full report from the coroner. It could take a couple of weeks. HAZEL I can't wait two weeks. Do me a favour, take her to the church first. I'll meet you there and you can see what you figure out and then take her to Mayfair Grace for the autopsy. SPERE I can't do that. Protocol. HAZEL I know what the protocols are. SPERE I guess so. Sure. She's your friend. HAZEL Thanks. I appreciate it. MATHIESON Oh. HAZEL Tommy, if you're gonna puke, don't do it here. MATHIESON No, I'm okay. HAZEL You sure? MATHIESON Maybe I better go outside and wait for Bob to get here. HAZEL Yeah, I think that's a good idea.

I knew this day was coming and I just never figured it was going to be like this. HAZEL So did she have any family heirlooms or expensive jewellery or anything in the house? BOB CHANDLER You think someone was trying to rob her? HAZEL I don't know. Was she expecting anyone, I mean, besides you? BOB CHANDLER No. BOB CHANDLER Can I see her? HAZEL Not not yet. Let's In a bit. SPERE So, as you can see, this cut is surgical. Through the windpipe and esophagus on the first cut. And the second deepens all the way down to the spinal cord. RAY Was he trying to get a trophy? SPERE Well, another cut and it was his. So, I'd say no. HAZEL What happened to the finger? SPERE He broke it before she died. You can see the swelling. That's definitely before. RAY So she did fight back. SPERE It would be the only sign. Didn't see anything else. RAY Her face, it looked like she was screaming when she died. SPERE That's a horror movie myth faces frozen in terror. Mostly the dead look drunk. This was clearly manipulated. You have to wait until rigor mortis sets in, about three hours. And then, you gotta hold the mouth and tongue in that position until the muscle sets. HAZEL For how long? SPERE I'd say another hour. RAY He was standing over her with his fingers in her mouth. SPERE When I was a taxidermist I actually tried it on this tabby cat. And I RAY We're not equipped for this. RAY And you are in no shape to be chasing anyone. That leaves me. This is something I can't handle on my own. HAZEL What, are you complaining about this before we even give it a try? RAY We need to get Mason to assign a homicide detective. HAZEL We are detectives. This is our town. RAY Don't let your HAZEL We can do this. RAY personal shit cloud your judgement. HAZEL What are you talking about? RAY Your words. HAZEL I don't understand what you're talking about. RAY Your words. HAZEL I don't understand. All I have to say is, I'm gonna do this with or without you. So if I have to, I'll do it alone. RAY Fuck you, Hazel. HAZEL Thanks. I knew you'd get onboard. RAY What? HAZEL I don't think you get this good on the first try. KIDS PLAYGROUND BOY Over here. PLAYGROUND MONITOR Move back. Give her some space. EMILY I heard about Delia. HAZEL Oh, that was fast. Who told you? EMILY Trudy Davis. Everybody's over at the church. HAZEL Why aren't you there? EMILY 'Cause I wanted to be here when you got home. HAZEL Well, I'm home so you can go. EMILY You know it would mean a lot to everybody if HAZEL Oh please, do not start with your Sundays of Sunshine shit. EMILY You can knock it all you want, but … when you were in the hospital they were there for you. HAZEL I didn't ask them to be there for me. It was my back. And they made it into some kind of community tragedy. EMILY It wasn't just your back. You were about to have a baby. HAZEL Well, that was a long time ago. EMILY And I can count on one hand the number of times you've talked about it. HAZEL All right, look, I will go to the funeral. Okay? EMILY What do you want to eat? HAZEL Nothing. I'm going out. EMILY With who? HAZEL With Andy. EMILY Will his wife be there? HAZEL Oh, I hope so. EMILY Huh. ANDREW Hey. Sorry I'm late. HAZEL I was starving. I went ahead. I got you a drink. ANDREW Thanks.

I mean, your stubbornness is gonna kill you. HAZEL There's worse ways to go. ANDREW Listen, there's a great rehabilitation facility. It's in North Bay. HAZEL Are you crazy? I'm not leaving my house. ANDREW Your mum can't carry you. HAZEL I'd like to see her try. ANDREW Maybe I can help some. I could come over maybe once or twice a day. HAZEL What would your wife say? ANDREW My wife? My wife would say that you're having surgery to get me under your roof again. HAZEL She's a riot. BARTENDER Here you go, Hazel. ANDREW You two seem to be in sync. HAZEL Are you jealous? You gotta go. ANDREW No, I should go. I should go, Hazel. I’ll I'll get you next time. Wait. I mean, while I have you here I just thought maybe you could help me with this? This asshole cop got me on the way back from hockey. HAZEL Sure. ANDREW Okay, thanks. HAZEL Uh huh. ANDREW Okay. GRACE We don’t open for a couple of minutes, but come on in. It's cold. Have a seat wherever you like. Coffee's brewing. SIMON Some hot water if you have it. GRACE That one of those green teas? SIMON It's damiana, natural tonic. GRACE Get a lot of truckers this time of the morning, but you don't look like a trucker. SIMON I'm not. GRACE Well, cook should be here any minute if you want to see a menu. SIMON Just berries, if you have. GRACE Yeah. GRACE Sorry, it comes with melon. Are you a doctor? SIMON I specialize in methods that conventional medicine ignores. GRACE What kind of methods? SIMON Many diseases can manifest through our environment. What we eat, how we live. And, just as we may create our illness, our bodies can be healed. GRACE And that works on on sick people? SIMON If they are pure of heart and mind, yes. GRACE My daughter Rose, is she's sick. They call them seizures, but it's like she falls over dead. They think it's a brain tumor. SIMON How old is she? GRACE She's twelve. SIMON “And straightway the damsel arose and walked; for she was of the age of twelve. And they were overcome with wonder.” GRACE Mark 5:42 GRACE Excuse me. MATHIESEN Pretty good month. MATHIESEN What are they talking about in there? MELANIE Something about an Oldsmobile MATHIESEN I'm just gonna leave those here. MELANIE Yeah, okay.

MELANIE Okay. HAZEL Stop flirting and get him in here. MELANIE She RAY So I found three late '80s Olds in the system. One's on cinder blocks, the other two are accounted for. So that means the one Jolene saw HAZEL Didn’t come from here. RAY Right. MELANIE This is Ben Wingate. BEN WINGATE Good morning. HAZEL Good morning, Mr. Wingate. And where did they find you? WINGATE Toronto. 52 Division. HAZEL You transferred from Toronto to here? BEN WINGATE Yes, ma'am. HAZEL Whose wife did you screw? BEN WINGATE Uh it it was my choice. RAY Why? BEN WINGATE I thought it was nice. HAZEL It's not nice. RAY No, it's not nice at all. HAZEL But it is interesting, isn't it, that he shows up when we have our first murder in four years? BEN WINGATE HAZEL Is that that? RAY No, I didn't set that ring. HAZEL And how do you answer it? RAY Just press that button. There. Yeah. HAZEL Stop. Shut up. How do you do that? BEN WINGATE The bottom one. HAZEL Oh, shit. I broke it. RAY Give me that. I will fix this. RAY Dismissed. BOB CHANDLER My mother lived her whole life in this town. She was one of the original members of Civitan Zone 5. Every year, and I can remember, she would put on her best dress, go out and sell Claxton cakes at Christmas. She once told me that if I speak at her funeral to make sure everyone here remembers her, how she was before the sick. The Delia Chandler, who had great gams and could kick over her head. And who loved her family and her community. GLYNNIS Oh, God, here she comes HAZEL Andrew. ANDREW Hey. HAZEL Glynnis. ANDREW Hey, Hazel. GLYNNIS I know you call him Andy. HAZEL I'm just trying to be respectful. GLYNNIS Well, I call him Andrew, you can call him whatever the hell you want. But if you want to be respectful, stop parking your car outside our house. HAZEL Excuse me, but some people have jobs. My job happens to be GLYNNIS What is your job? HAZEL to take care of this community GLYNNIS Because right at the bar? HAZEL Andrew happened to be there. GLYNNIS Why don't you go GLYNNIS down the way? Why don't you go there for awhile? HAZEL I feel bad for Andy. I I really, I want him to be happy, I just RAY Hey. We got a dead body out in Chamberlain. HAZEL What does he see in her anyway? I mean, really. What did you say? RAY Dead body out in Chamberlain. Potential homicide. HAZEL Well, that's not us. RAY Well, Mason wants us to go out there, so it is now. HAZEL He called you and not me? HAZEL The body’s in there? OFFICER VONGARNER Yeah. HAZEL Victim's name? OFFICER VONGARNER Michael Ullman. The horse trainer found him this morning. She had the week off. HAZEL Okay. I'd like to talk to her. OFFICER VONGARNER Oh, I don't know where she is. I told her that she could leave. I HAZEL All right, relax. Do you know where she lives? Do you have her phone number? OFFICER VONGARNER Yeah. HAZEL Okay, I'd like you to call her, ask her if she's seen an old make Oldsmobile, gray, maybe between '85-'89. You can do that now. OFFICER VONGARNER Yeah. HAZEL Good. Go. SPERE Whoa. RAY What is it? SPERE No stomach. HAZEL What do you mean there's no stomach? SPERE It's been removed. RAY Hazel? RAY What is it? HAZEL I think I found his stomach. SPERE Two murders in three days, a couple of hundred clicks apart. Something's in the air. Full moon? HAZEL You think he's smart enough to know our jurisdiction lines? RAY You think this is connected to Delia? HAZEL Well, it’s a gruesome crime scene. No forced entry. SPERE I don't think so. I mean, the victims couldn't be more different. An old lady in town. Rich guy on a farm. What's the connection? HAZEL His face looked pretty weird, didn't it? RAY Uh huh. SPERE It could have been manipulated. But it wasn't so obvious. HAZEL Would it show up in the autopsy? SPERE Not if he was wearing gloves. Thank you. You guys? All right. EMILY Don't put your drink on my photo album. You're gonna get a mark on it. Hm. I haven't looked at these in a long time. Oh, look at those false eyelashes. Remember those? HAZEL Yeah, they were ridiculous. EMILY Remember at your wedding when you started laughing and you laughed so hard you cried and your eyelashes slid down your cheek? HAZEL I'm not the one that started the laughing, you did. EMILY No, I didn't. I did not. I was laughing because you were laughing. You once you started I had to join in. You have such an infectious laugh. HAZEL You have a terrible memory. EMILY I don't have a terrible memory. That's exactly what happened. I miss that laugh. Okay. Well, enjoy your corpses. BEN WINGATE Thank you. I was just calling to see if there'd been any recent murders in your jurisdiction? Sure, I can hold. RAY Who was that? BEN WINGATE Hamilton Police Department. RAY They're not sure they've had any murders? BEN WINGATE Yeah, I'm still here. IAN MASON Got your requisition for more manpower. Didn't I send somebody to you? HAZEL Yes, but we still only have two detectives. Me and Ray. IAN MASON Well, that should be enough to solve one murder. HAZEL Two. We think this is the work of a IAN MASON Oh, good God. No, please. HAZEL Serial killer. IAN MASON Serial killer, huh? Do you know what we call two murders here? The morning shift. HAZEL You should do stand- up. IAN MASON Oh, wait a second. This is your way of convincing me to give you the permanent Commanding Officer job, with a suicide attempt on your record. You lost your chance when they had to pump painkillers out of your belly in the ER. HAZEL I'm telling you about two murders. Do you think I give a shit what my title is? IAN MASON You would have been forced into retirement without me, so watch your mouth. All right, Hazel, you want my attention, you got it. What do you have? HAZEL Look, you see how her mouth was manipulated? We think his was too. And there was no forced entry in either case. And Ullman's body was just a few miles over the jurisdictional line. IAN MASON And? HAZEL Well, so he's spreading his targets far enough apart and he's changing the profile of the victims so that we don't connect them. IAN MASON Serial killers leave calling cards. They want the world to know what they're doing. HAZEL I'm telling you, I know that this is the same guy. IAN MASON You know nothing. You are guessing and you want me to give you manpower to follow a hunch. HAZEL All I need is one detective with profiling experience. IAN MASON You know, if I knew that sending you to Chamberlain was going to trigger this I would have sent somebody who's better equipped. But, as I said, I don't have anybody else. BEN WINGATE No. No specific age or gender. No it could look like anything Yeah uh, yeah, the mouth. That's exactly what we're looking for No, it could look like a suicide. Uh, could you send that over to me? SIMON Is she upstairs? GRACE She's sleeping. SIMON Oh. GRACE I just I don't think now is a good time. SIMON Huh. GRACE Sorry. SIMON I understand. GRACE Wait! SIMON Can you open your mouth for me? Stick out your tongue. Ahh. What happens just before you fall down? ROSE It smells funny. SIMON Like what? ROSE Scrambled eggs. SIMON Do you like scrambled eggs? ROSE Not anymore. SIMON Hm. I don't like scrambled eggs either. ROSE What is it? SIMON This is mistletoe. It's like Christmas. Oh, this is my favourite part. There. ROSE I'm not drinking that. SIMON Do you like honey? ROSE Yeah. SIMON Could you bring us some honey? ROSE I'm going to die, aren't I? SIMON We're all going to die. That’s how God intended it. But how we live and how we die, that can be meaningful. Do you want to get better? I forgot to tell you. These cups are magic. If you sing to them, they'll make the tea taste better. SIMON SIMON Your turn. ROSE/SIMON SIMON Keep singing. ROSE SIMON Keep singing. ROSE/SIMON BOB CHANDLER I looked into that stuff you asked about. She had an e-mail account. Traded gardening tips with a cousin in Calgary. And she visited a soap opera chat room. HAZEL She kept busy. BOB CHANDLER That she did. The only thing she bought was a gold cross necklace on overstock.com. HAZEL I don't remember her wearing necklaces. BOB CHANDLER It's my wife's birthday next week. It's gonna be weird getting something from her now. She never said it out loud, but she'd been suffering for a long time. I could see she was ready to go. It was in her eyes. Maybe he did her a favour. HAZEL It doesn't make it right. BOB CHANDLER I know. But it helps me sleep. HAZEL Wingate. BEN You're gonna want to see this. HAZEL Okay. BEN I maybe I should walk you through that. HAZEL No, that's fine. Good night. Thank you. BEN Okay, are you sure? EMILY Do you like curry? BEN Yeah. I love curry. EMILY Well, Hazel, let the kid in. BEN Uh, I finally got all these files I've been chasing down and I think we're missing something with the faces. This is Gary Dewer, found by his son, hanging from a chandelier. Plastic bag over his head. Look at the tongue is pressed down towards the teeth. Four days later Adrian Grunwald, mouth found open. And then we have Morton Halfe. Look at this, his mouth is almost identical to Dewar's. HAZEL Like Ullman's. BEN Yeah. What's the connective you know, what are we missing? All the mouths are clearly manipulated. Is it like a a code or something? EMILY How's the curry? BEN Oh, uh, it's great. Thank you. It's delicious. EMILY Glad to see someone's eating my cooking. HAZEL So why did you transfer from Toronto to here, really? I mean, don't give me the bullshit about a small town life. BEN Um, uh, my partner died last year. HAZEL On duty? BEN Uh, he wasn't a cop. The guys on the force didn't take that news so well. EMILY Well, how do you like it here, so far? Excuse me, I ask a lot of questions. It's an occupational hazard. BEN No, that's okay. Are you a reporter? EMILY No, judge. Retired. BEN Oh. Well, then, Your Honour, um, I like it. I mean, uh, it's slower. EMILY Uh huh. BEN But, that's good, you know, it gives you kind of more time to think. EMILY Exactly. You been calling your mother? HAZEL All right, stop it. EMILY What? Kids should talk to their mothers. HAZEL And some mothers talk too much. EMILY Meaning me? BEN Okay. HAZEL Yes. You're my mother. You're talking too much. BEN I'll I'll EMILY I'm hardly talking at all. BEN Okay HAZEL You're grilling him. BEN I'll clear. EMILY I'm not grill BEN I'll clear. HAZEL Next. RAY Looks like he's singing. HAZEL Next. What about this one? BEN The mouth's pressed together. What if seriously, what if he's saying something? RAY He's not saying something, he's dead. BEN I know. HAZEL Well, is he saying anything? BEN It's like a look, it's like a buh, like a buh. MATHIESEN No, it's mmm, mmm. Muh. HAZEL Well, go to the next one. BEN The upper lip is bent. It’s buh. HAZEL That's it. Go on. MATHIESEN You bend the upper lip, it goes buh. BEN Think about how HAZEL Now do it again. BEN Say a sentence that has a muh sound and a buh sound. You’re going to see the difference. MATHIESEN Your mother got hit by a bus. Okay. BEN Yeah. Do you see your m mother Muh and buh they're two entirely HAZEL Okay, try it again. BEN Okay, that's a mouth that's wide open, right? HAZEL Go back. MATHIESEN If you look at it, the lips are curled in. mmmm BEN You're you're right if you're talking about Portuguese. MATHIESEN I don't speak Portuguese. HAZEL Or maybe it's not what they're saying as individuals. Maybe they're syllables and whoever manipulated their mouths is saying something with them all Do, do, do. do, do you think he has a stutter HAZEL Will you be quiet! RAY Well, some of them don't look like they're saying anything together. HAZEL Maybe it's in the wrong order, then. RAY Well, it's the order that we found them. HAZEL Well, maybe it's a different order. Maybe it's the order in which they were killed. How about if we try it going from west to east? So that would be Dewar, Grunwald, Fortnum. Try that. MELANIE Okay. BEN you know, aren't always accurate so you have to look at what he’s going for HAZEL Faster. BEN Is it the the vowels? Think about how many vowels. Vowels make you open your entire mouth. I mean, think about it? It's only buh or muh, it's slow but it's something like Um. Jesus. MATHIESEN Lie-bee-la. Lie-bee-la. Lie- bee-la? BEN No, no, no, it's Lie-bee- ra. It's an "R" Look at look at his mouth. That's an "L". Now can you flip to Ruby Marshall, please? Yeah. See how the tongue is kind of on the side of the mouth? That's an "R". It’s ra. As in, "You're wrong". BEN Lie-bee- ra-ri-e. Might be Ra-ri-e. MATHIESEN Oh! It's Professor Plume in the lie-bee-ra-ri-e with the candlestick. HAZEL I'm done. RAY Hey, guys. What if it isn't English? MATHIESEN What do you mean, like French? BEN Huh. HAZEL Huh, they were all Catholic. BEN It's Latin. I guarantee you, this is Latin. RAY Latin? Who speaks Latin? MATHIESEN People in Latin America. BEN Oh God. It it's listen, it sounds like Latin. Lie-bee-ra. I guarantee you, that's Latin. FATHER GLENDINNING Well, I I know the words, but I don't actually speak the language. HAZEL Oh. FATHER GLENDINNING Now, Father Price at Saint Xavier, he was a linguistics professor. He could help. FATHER PRICE When you get to be my age it's a comfort to have those reminders of some accomplishments. Sit sit down, please. HAZEL Thank you, Father. They're your students? FATHER PRICE No. We used to take in orphans and find them homes. HAZEL But you don't anymore? FATHER PRICE No. But you didn't come here to talk about that. HAZEL No. Could you help me and tell me what that means? FATHER PRICE Ha. Libera is the imperative of the Latin verb that is at the root of liberty. Liberate. Well, let me see. With the "e" following, eos. Libera- eos. Deliver them. HAZEL So does that phrase mean anything special to you? FATHER PRICE Libera nos domine. Now, that's quite a common phrase. Free us Lord. Um, Libera- re-Eos. Libera-re-Eos. Libera-re-Eos HAZEL And what does that mean? FATHER PRICE Set them free. HAZEL So they're similar. FATHER PRICE Similar, yes, but not at all the same. Do you do you know anything about the history of the written Bible? HAZEL Well, I always thought it was kind of like a two- thousand-year-old game of broken telephone. FATHER PRICE Let let me explain. The Bible, as we know it, was composed around 400 Anno Domini. It contained an oral component. Because elements of that Bible were prohibited from being written down. Forbidden songs. Blessings conferred upon the closest of Christ's disciples. These were meant to be communicated only between high priests because once the blessing was offered, the listener became the keeper of it. And the speaker, on certain occasions, offered himself up as a sacrifice. HAZEL For what? FATHER PRICE Liberare Eos. A sacrifice to set them free. HAZEL So you do know what it means. FATHER PRICE Uh, I have Oh, here. When the women went to complete the burial rites at Christ's tomb, they found it empty. HAZEL Hm. FATHER PRICE Their service was rewarded by the Holy Ghost with that prayer. A consecration against death. HAZEL So immortality? FATHER PRICE No, not not quite. Liberare Eos is a prayer of resurrection. HAZEL Okay FATHER PRICE Ah, back then, people had deeper faith. HAZEL Blind faith. FATHER PRICE Profound faith. HAZEL Well, how exactly does it work? I promise I won't tell anybody. FATHER PRICE It required twelve willing souls to sacrifice themselves to bring back the one. Now the operative word is "willing". Once a final life was given the prayer was spoken aloud and witnessed. And then those twelve disciples, who sacrificed themselves, were granted eternal salvation. And the chosen one was reborn. I mean, you know, this this this is early Christian mysticism. This pre- dates even the Vatican. HAZEL And do you really believe this stuff? FATHER PRICE I did, yes, once. But times are different now. Unwavering belief in the church is difficult to sustain. Perhaps, I mean, I I think quite possibly, with good reason. I find it fascinating that someone like you would be interested in unearthing this prayer that has been for fifteen hundred years, by and large, lost. HAZEL I think somebody may have found it. EMILY If you can sleep on the floor why can't I sleep in my chair? HAZEL 'Cause I'm special. Let's go up. EMILY You certainly are. HAZEL BEN Hey! Do you remember that gold cross that Julia Chandler bought online? HAZEL Yeah. BEN They never got it. Nothing showed up at Delia's either. HAZEL So? BEN Overstock.com shipped through a P.O. Box in Port Hardy, B.C. addressed to Jane Buck. HAZEL BC? BEN I called Delia's son. He's never heard of her. HAZEL Hmm. BEN The Post Office wouldn't give out any information over the phone so I looked up Jane Buck in the local white pages and guess what? HAZEL What? BEN There's a phone number and home address ten miles from that P.O. Box. HAZEL Go for it. BEN Oh. JANE BUCK Hello. BEN Hello. Is this Jane Buck? JANE BUCK Who is this? BEN This is Officer Ben Wingate, from the Fort Dundas Police Department. You wouldn't happen to know anyone by the name of Delia Chandler, would you? JANE BUCK This isn't a good time. BEN Okay. When would be a good time? HAZEL Could be a lead. BEN Oh come on, you gotta let me go. HAZEL I would love to let you go, but I don't have the money to fly you there. BEN My mum gives me Air Miles every year for Christmas. I've never used them. RAY Found our Olds. RAY This is where he got the ticket. HAZEL Okay. Well, let's start knocking on some doors. So you just let him in? GRACE I spoke with him for quite a while at the diner. My daughter was very sick and I believed that he could help her. I was desperate. Nothing else was working. RAY What did he look like? GRACE Tall, thin. He had a big bag. Dark coat. Sandy blonde hair. Beard. I remember he had kind eyes. I don't know if that helps. HAZEL Okay, so you let him in and then what happened? GRACE He gave her some tea. He came out, he said she was sleeping. So I looked in on her. She looked peaceful, so I let her rest. Then she woke up screaming, vomiting, burning up. I took her to the hospital. They told us it was a fifty-fifty chance she'd make it through the night. Two days later the vomiting stopped and the MRI was clear. GRACE Yeah, hon. ROSE I want to show you a drawing. GRACE Okay. Excuse me just for a second. RAY Killers kill. They don't heal. HAZEL You know, Jesus raised a little girl from the dead. She was about that age. It was one of his top ten miracles, actually. RAY You're referencing scriptures now? HAZEL I did my research. RAY Okay, so you really believe that this guy HAZEL I think she believes that this guy Hi. ROSE Simon said you would come. HAZEL His name Is Simon? And did Simon Say anything else ROSE He said the police would be looking for him. That they would say he did bad things. But he's not bad. He taught me a song. ROSE Simple Simon went to look If plums grew on a thistle; He pricked his fingers very much, Which made poor Simon whistle. HAZEL Great. Thanks. WEATHERMAN today with a high of plus four. There is a snowfall warning, though. Expect up to ten centimetres of snow overnight. For the coast of Haidi Gwaii, rain, a high of plus eight, inland rain as well as a high of plus seven degrees.

BEN You think that's where he's headed? HAZEL Well, he started in BC, he's been going east ever since. I think it's a good bet you could HAZEL go there and get a car and check out the Eastern Townships. BEN I'm on it. RAY Hazel, we can't let this green kid go out on some wild goose chase on his own dime. HAZEL What other choice do we have? RAY I'll call Mason. HAZEL Give me two days, then you can call Mason.

WINGATE I'm going in. HAZEL Wingate. Wingate! Ben? HAZEL Ben? Ben? SIMON Hello, Hazel. HAZEL Who is this? SIMON Well, you know who it is. Otherwise you wouldn't have sent poor Ben out to look SIMON for Dr. Lawrence, would you? HAZEL I swear to God, if you touch SIMON Hazel, relax. SIMON He looked so tired. You've been working him so SIMON hard I gave him something to sleep. SIMON Did you get my package? I have to go now, Hazel. But I have faith- - SIMON Our paths will cross again. RAY Yeah. This is Detective Ray Greene from Fort Dundas PD. I need a full response unit to 76 Dollard Street. There's an officer down. Mason offered me the CO job six months ago. I turned it down. HAZEL Maybe you should have taken it. DELIA CHANDLER Is it on? Today I'm leaving this body that has tortured me for years. But it has given me the moments I treasure. Running, as a child, dancing with my husband. Bringing my son into this world. DELIA I want to live, but not like this. I love you and I want you to know that I'm trusting my body to someone worthy, who will cleanse my spirit and bring me home. Remember me as I was. Thank Dr. Reiner for his kindness. Give Jenny a big kiss from grandma. WINGATE I had the photos blown up that I took WINGATE in the trailer. It's Delia's necklace and all the other gifts the victims sent to Simon. HAZEL No. Come back here. Really, how are you doing? WINGATE He had that syringe to my neck before I even saw his face. HAZEL Yeah. WINGATE What? HAZEL My God, I'd swear This is Father Price in this picture, like thirty years ago. WINGATE What is a picture of Father Price doing in a trailer halfway across the country? FATHER PRICE What I'm about to undergo is a sin in His eyes. SIMON Are you afraid, Father? FATHER PRICE Hm. Today is my day of judgement, reckoning, of course I am. SIMON Of what? FATHER PRICE You know, Peter. I’ve been told that my mistake; my mistake alone is what led us here to this sin. SIMON Gabriel's sufferings led me to the prayer. And the prayer is pure. FATHER PRICE It was never meant to be used this way! Only Christ can raise the dead. SIMON Christ is in us all. You taught me that. FATHER PRICE I am allowing you to trespass on my soul. It's a sin, Peter. It's a sin. SIMON I'm the one committing the sin, Father, not you. When all the sacrifices are complete, God will forgive the trespasses. FATHER PRICE May God forgive us both. I would like to pray. SIMON Of course, Father. FATHER PRICE Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come FATHER PRICE Thy will be done. On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. FATHER PRICE For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory FATHER PRICE forever and ever. FATHER PRICE Amen. SIMON Amen. Where's your pain today, Father? FATHER PRICE Everywhere. Oh. SIMON I love you, Father. WINGATE Father Price. Father Price? HAZEL He's not here. HAZEL Sister, excuse me. I'm sorry to have to do this now, but, um, could you tell me if you know what happened to any of the boys in this picture? NUN These two boys, um, Peter and Gabriel Mallick. We could only find a home for one of them. Father Price chose to send the younger boy, Gabriel. We didn't ask a lot of questions in those days. Broke his heart when he learned how he had suffered. Peter found him, took him in. They moved out west. Away. But it was too late. He was never the same. Gabriel took his own life last year. A few weeks later, Father Price grew ill. Cancer. He felt it was God’s way of punishing him. HAZEL When was the last time that you saw Peter? NUN Three months ago, after his brother's passing, he came to Sunday service. Said he was going on a long trip. And a few weeks ago he called Father Price. HAZEL Really? I figured out who he is. His name is Peter Mallick and he changed his IAN MASON We know. HAZEL What do you mean, you know? IAN MASON We got into his e-mail account. We know who he is. We know where he's going. Carl Smotes. We’re coordinating with the RCMP to put him into protective custody. HAZEL When? IAN MASON It's not your concern anymore, Hazel. HAZEL What? What are you talking about? IAN MASON We can handle this. HAZEL No! I wanna be there. What do you mean you can handle it? I'm the one that figured it out. I'm the one that told you about it in the first place IAN MASON You're done! HAZEL and you wouldn't even listen to me when IAN MASON You're done! HAZEL I'm not done! I wanna be there. IAN MASON What do you want from me, an apology? I am sorry. You were right. There's a serial killer. Does that make you feel better? HAZEL Fuck you. HAZEL Hello? BEN Hey, it's me. HAZEL Did they get him? BEN No. It's gonna be a long night. BEN They brought in the cavalry. Uh, you should be here. BEN The the guys are all really impressed with what you did. You saved a man's life. HAZEL Well, if he was talking to Simon then that meant he wanted to die. So I don't think he's gonna be too happy. BEN Well, when he shows up we're gonna get him. HAZEL What if he doesn't show up? BEN I don't know. I mean, he's BEN come this far. I don't think he's gonna stop BEN now. One away from getting his twelve disciples? He's coming. Are you still there? HAZEL Yeah, I'm here. BEN I have my day off tomorrow. BEN Why don't I come by, I'll cook you dinner. HAZEL Goodnight, Wingate. HAZEL Oh. Oh! SIMON I'll get you something for that. HAZEL Why did you bring me here? SIMON You brought us together. You heard the calling when everyone around you could not. You chose to become a part of it. This is where we're supposed to be, together under the eyes of God. And this is where it will end. HAZEL Uh-uh. No. SIMON For your pain. HAZEL No. SIMON All the disciples gave themselves, willingly. Murdering you will not honour the prayer. Do you want your pain to end or do you not? It is your choice. SIMON Hmm. SIMON It's remarkable, isn't it? HAZEL What is it? SIMON A hybrid of many plants. Grown here. HAZEL You could be helping people instead of doing this. SIMON I am helping people. HAZEL I know you lost your brother and you'll do anything to bring him back. But, what is the point? I mean, he killed himself. He doesn't want to be alive. He he wanted to die. SIMON Everyone deserves a second chance. Hazel, I lost my brother but I never lost my faith in God. When he returns, he will be cleansed as will you. SIMON Can you imagine a day when you're not clouded by all that alcohol? HAZEL No. SIMON Tell me something beautiful, something good that you've brought to this world. HAZEL Nothing. SIMON Have you ever loved? Really loved someone someone other than yourself? What have you lost, truly lost, that had some meaning for you? HAZEL My baby. SIMON This is your chance. Drink this and all your suffering will be gone. Drink this and bring meaning to your life. Drink this and offer the disciples unto God. Drink this and bring life back to this world. Let go. HAZEL HAZEL I can't. I want another chance, please. SIMON It's okay. It will all be over soon. Liberare eos de vinculis. Mortis. HAZEL BEN Uh, Andrew, nice to meet you. Um, ah, Gladys. GLYNNIS No, it's Glynnis. BEN Okay. RAY Ben? BEN Oh, hey man. Come on in. RAY Yeah. Uh I'm, uh I'm gonna come back again another time. BEN You sure? RAY Yeah. Give this to her for me. BEN Uh, yeah, okay. RAY Thanks. BEN Sorry. Should I, uh should I EMILY Come on in. BEN How is she doing? EMILY Drugs finally knocked her out. BEN Right. She probably got quite a tolerance. EMILY Yeah. BEN Andrew and his wife are in the hall. EMILY Oh, dear. I'll go head 'em off. BEN Okay. Do I Right. BEN Uh, hey. HAZEL Hey. BEN It's from Ray. The flowers are from me. HAZEL I'm allergic. BEN Why am I not surprised? This is also from me and Ray. You did it. HAZEL We did it. What about his brother? BEN Vancouver PD BEN has sent some guys to recover the body. I just haven't heard anything yet. HAZEL Let me know. BEN I'll be out in that hall until I know, okay? HAZEL Okay. I want my mum. BEN Wow. These drugs must be working. EMILY You're awake. What's this? HAZEL Oh, Ray. He didn't bring glasses or ice or anything. EMILY Forget about it. You look terrible. HAZEL Yeah. It's better than dead. EMILY Much better. LOCAL POLICE OFFICER Police!
