- Bill, it all works out right.
- When?
- At the end of time.
- That soon?
No, we're gonna be there. We're gonna
live forever. We're spirits.
How I would love to believe that.
It's that kid that got killed.
I heard it on the news.
You knew him.
A little bit. Police Boys Club.
His name was Thomas. Thomas Kintry.
Black boy, about 12 years old.
The killer...
...drove an ingot
into each of his eyes...
...then cut off his head.
Is this okay, Father?
I can get you something else.
Some more coffee?
In place of his head was the head
from a statue of Christ...
...all done up in blackface,
like a minstrel show.
The eyes and the mouth painted white.
Mr. Bones.
The boy had been crucified...
...on a pair of rowing oars.
May the Lord be in your heart
and help you to confess your sins.
- Yes?
- I have...
...a scrupulous conscience, Father.
This need to confess...
...so many things.
If I step on two straws
in the shape of a cross...
...I feel that I have to confess it.
- It torments me.
- Try to make a good confession.
And remember, Christ forgives us
all of our sins.
Only little things. Nothing.
Seventeen of them, Father.
The first was that waitress
near Candlestick Park.
I cut her throat
and watched her bleed.
She bled a great deal.
It's a problem
that I'm working on, Father.
All this bleeding.
I don't know. I don't know.
He was such a good...
- I've been thinking...
- This is new.
Do we need prints from inside?
All you'll get are the priest's.
Yes, I know.
- Then what's the point?
- I'm padding the job.
We got an autopsy on the boy.
Yes.
Kintry didn't die from
the decapitation.
He was injected with a drug
called succinylcholine.
They use it in electroshock therapy.
But injecting 10 milligrams...
...for each 50 pounds of body weight
causes immediate and total paralysis.
He couldn't move while
the killer was cutting him up.
- He was conscious?
- Yes. He was fully aware.
The drug attacks
the respiratory system.
He died from slow asphyxiation.
Ms. Scott, report to nurses' station.
Father Dyer. Joseph Dyer. D-Y-E-R.
- He's in room 411. It's down there.
- 411.
Dr. Miller, line 118.
What's this nonsense?
- Nothing's wrong. Just some tests.
- They had no rabbit?
- I don't know you.
- Reading Women's Wear Daily?
Am I supposed to give spiritual advice
in a vacuum? Is that for me?
I found it in the street.
You said nothing's wrong.
My brother Eddie
- Eddie died at 30.
- So? He got killed in Vietnam.
- Could be a connection.
- What?
You sure it's not serious?
Shut up about Eddie!
