Very sorry. Send me the bill. I'll take care of it.
Keith Jennings That's all right, Mr. Ambassador. Let's just say that you owe me one.
Keith Jennings [Jennings is showing Robert a picture from the party]
You see anything unusual?
Keith Jennings Here, here. [points to a faint line behind the nanny's head that curves around her neck] There. I know. I didn't think much of anything of it either at first. Thought it was just a bad roll of film but then it happened again. [points to another picture of the nanny with the same line] You see? That's another roll. And the digital files. [brings up another picture of the nanny on a computer that has the same line] That's digital. That's another camera. [grabs another set of pictures] Our friend, Father Brennan. [shows a picture of Brennan with a blurry, pointed line aiming down at him] Here. And here's one of him I snapped ten days later.
Same thing.
Keith Jennings Yeah. Only much more pronounced on this one. Actually making contact with the body. [picks up newspaper] The rest, as they say, is history. [pause] I know. I don't get it either. Which is why I started digging. [grabs folder] The coroner's report showed that Brennan was riddled with cancer. Said he was high on morphine most of the time, injected himself two or three times a day.
He knew he was dying.
Keith Jennings Well, apparently.
He said... he wanted to be forgiven by Christ.
Keith Jennings No atheists in foxholes, eh?
Bugenhagen That little priest Brennan... is he dead yet?
Yes.
Bugenhagen We have work to do. Come.
Bugenhagen [Bugenhagen opens a cloth revealing seven daggers]
It must done on Hallowed Ground, in the grounds of a church. The blood must be spilt on the Altar of God. [takes one] Each knife must be buried up to the hilt and then set so as to form the sign of a cross. [hands it to Robert] The first knife is the most important, for it extinguishes physical life and sets the centre of a cross. The subsequent knives extinguish spiritual life and radiate outwards.
This is a child we're talking about. A small boy who I've raised as my own son.
Bugenhagen He's not your son! He's a beast! A beast! He's evil incarnate! Now don't you forget that!
What if you're wrong? What if he isn't?
Bugenhagen I'm not wrong!
How do I know that?
Bugenhagen Look. He... bears a birthmark. A sequence of sixes. So says the Bible, as do all the apostles of Satan.
No. He doesn't have it.
Bugenhagen He must have it!
I've bathed him. I've gone over every inch of his body. He doesn't have it.
Bugenhagen If the sign isn't visible, then it must be hidden, beneath the hair. Remove that, you'll find the number.
Keith Jennings What about the woman, the nanny?
Bugenhagen Oh, she's an apostate of Hell. She'll die before permitting this.
Bugenhagen Look, don't lose your nerve now, man! We'll all be in the cesspool if you do!
[Jennings takes the daggers and runs out]
Keith Jennings Stop! Thorn, stop! We can't walk away from this. What the **** did you think he was gonna say? Why else have we come here?
He's a drunk. An insane, delusional drunk, and just like every other religious fanatic thinks that arcane scriptures justify killing!
Keith Jennings What about me?!
What about you?
Keith Jennings What about the photographs?! What if I'm next?!
[Stops, then walks over to Jennings]
Listen to yourself. Do you have any idea what you're saying. Huh? You're asking me to stab a child. [Takes the knives] A little boy. Can't you see how insane that is? It's not real, Keith. There is no devil, there is no God, there is only here, and now, and life. And that is something I'm not taking away from any man, certainly not my own son. [Throws the knives into an alley]
Keith Jennings Well, if you won't, I will.
