- 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 wanna talk about it?

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.

I thought it suited you.

You said nothing's wrong.

My brother Eddie

had these symptoms for years.

- 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!

    That is not the script. That doesn't even get close to what happens in the script/movie.
