To Kill a Priest Page #2

---

There's no reason to laugh.

They've come for you.

They're waiting for you

outside the church.

- Where are you taking him?

- We can't tell you.

I'm sorry, father.

Father, we've brought you here

for a confession.

I've nothing to confess.

- A soldier's confession.

- In the middle of the night?

He'll be executed at dawn.

- He asked for you specifically.

- I will pray for you.

You can't talk about any of this.

What happened?

Disobeyed orders?

- The order to shoot.

- I did shoot.

At my commanding officer. I missed.

Because of my hands.

We should thank God for not letting you kill.

They ordered us to shoot factory workers!

If everyone had done the same as me,

we would have won.

Winning is not important. What's important

is that we're in the right.

It's easy for you to say.

I'm the one that's going to die.

All you know how to do is pray.

That's right.

You know, father, that's just for cowards!

You knew we couldn't win!

You betrayed us!

To be right is not enough.

Bless me, father, for I have sinned.

What are you sins?

The sin of impurity.

Christ!

- Is that bad?

- No, no. Of course not.

I stole...

Two bags of cement, from work.

My dad was building a house and...

You have to go now.

Good dog. You thought I deserted you?

Spike!

Spike! Come on!

Goddamned animal!

- What are you doing here?

- Mom's upset.

She went to find you.

What for?

I'm waiting for you.

- You want me to stay with you?

- Tell me a story.

Once upon a time there was

a young man named Mirek.

- One day, his father decided to get him a dog.

- Really?

Yes. Really.

- We'll call him...

- Buck!

A boy in my class has got a dog,

he says, "I've got a Buck."

Let's call him Pope.

Come Pope, lay down!

Pope, go get the paper!

Mom?

Dad's going to buy me a dog, you know

what we're going to call him?

Let me talk to your mom.

Halina, open the door!

- Go back wherever you came from.

- I was at work - You liar!

I went to your office

and they told me you were off duty.

Who did you spend the night with last night?

I was at work!

You left the kid by himself,

now open the goddamn door!

You disgust me! We don't need you!

We're better off without you!

Fine!

I was working. You understand working?

- Where were you?

- I can't tell you that.

I'm terrified that they're going to kill you.

Why can't you just lock them up?

Deport them, get rid of them!

Can't you do something?

- May I have a dog, mom...

- Shut up!

I'll get you a goddamn dog.

- Kid wants a dog.

- Why not.

You haven't even touched me

since this whole thing started.

Since what started?

What's that?

What's that?

- Does he f*** her?

- I wish. She'd like to f*** him.
