Stigmata Page #3

What's happening in your life, Frankie?

Do you have a lot of stress at work?

I cut hair.

Any trouble with a significant other?

- Yes.

- And that is?

I'm not very significant.

Look, how long's this gonna take?

I wanna go home.

You should stay here.

We need to get a handle on this.

There's nothing to get a handle on.

I won't kid you. With wounds like this,

it's obvious they were self-inflicted.

You think I did this?

It would never happen.

I love being me. Ask anyone.

Frankie,

turn the light off, honey,

and come to bed.

Do you smell flowers

in here or something?

No.

Smells like jasmine

or hyacinth or something.

I don't smell anything.

You need anything?

No.

Good night.

Good night.

- I'm here to see Brother Delmonico.

- You've got to sign in.

- I'll only be five minutes.

- Everyone has to sign in.

Duty-free.

- Welcome back, Andrew.

- Gianni, come stai?

God is good.

So how was Belo Quinto?

How do you know about Belo Quinto?

I was sent to Sao Paulo.

- God lives here. We know everything.

- Oh, yes, I forgot.

So how are you doing?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I travel round the world

investigating... miracles.

And then I disprove them.

The real miracle is

anybody believes anything.

- I don't know what I'm doing.

- None of us know what we are doing.

- So what are you working on?

- I have no idea.

How can you translate something

if you've no idea?

I'm a linguist.

I translate words, not their relevance.

- But this one is a second-century gospel.

- How many is that now?

I've helped translate about 15.

That only leaves 20 still to go.

So there are... what? 35 gospels?

Everyone had a different experience

of Jesus, so they wrote different stories.

All the gospels,

they are interpretations,

memories,

dreams, reflections.

And there's no one gospel

in Jesus' actual words?

We're all blind men in a cave,

looking for the candle

that was lit 2,000 years ago.

So what's in this text?

I was only given every third page.

- Why?

- The most sensitive documents

are always divided into threes among us.

One third to the Dominicans,

one third to the Franciscans,

and one third to us Jesuits.

The truth of any document

is only known to a very powerful few.

That's typical of this place, isn't it?

We live in a highly competitive world,

Andrew.

The Church is no exception.

Nothing ever gets out of here, does it?

Unless, of course, they want it to.

Both wounds are identical.

Same size, same shape.

She missed the main artery

by less than a centimeter.

You think I did this?

What's happening in your life, Frankie?

- So, Jen, tell us about your date.

- It was with a tax lawyer.
