Blind Spot
EXT. PUB ALLEY – MOMENTS LATER
MíCHEáL leans against a brick wall with his back, while Father O’ Connor lights a cigarette.
FATHER O’CONNOR: Alright, out with it.
MíCHEáL: Well, it’s like this…I’ve done a pretty bad thing.
FATHER O’CONNOR: Out with it boy, I ain’t got all day!
MíCHEáL: Alright, here it goes…I smacked me mom.
FATHER O’CONNOR: What’s that say you?
MíCHEáL: I smacked me own mother.
Father O’Connor smacks Mícheál up against the brick wall.
FATHER O’CONNOR: Like that?! (smacks him again) Or like that?!
MíCHEáL: Alright, alright! Jesus Father, I come to you for forgiveness of my sin.
FATHER O’CONNOR: There are things that the good Lord advises me to handle a particular way!
Father O’Connor smacks Mícheál again. Mícheál’s lip bleeds.
MíCHEáL: Father! If you just listen to me, please.
FATHER O’CONNOR: The only one who can forgive you is your mother! You are despicable. I don’t ever want to see the likes of you again!
MíCHEáL: Father, please, wait! You don’t understand. There was a prowler come into the house during the night, and I fought him off me mother, but in the midst of the fight she was smacked a lick from me own hand. It was meant for the prowler, but it caught her instead and now she thinks I deliberately smacked her when in fact I would never do such a thing as that. I love me Mother. I’d never raise a finger and that’s for any woman that is.
Father O’Connor smacks Mícheál.
FATHER O’CONNOR: That’s for making me smack ya for no good reason. Why do you come for forgiveness?
MíCHEáL: For the accident of it, of course. (beat) Am I forgiven?
FATHER O’CONNOR: You’re a schmuck. Where’s mom?
MíCHEáL: Well, that’s just it. We can’t find her.
FATHER O’CONNOR: What do you mean you can’t find her? Where has she gone?
MíCHEáL: When the police came to take the prowler, she was gone. I couldn’t find her. Me whole family is out there looking.
FATHER O’CONNOR: Have you spoken to Ned Finley?
MíCHEáL: I’m looking for him, too?
FATHER O’CONNOR: He’s inside the pub.
MíCHEáL: Is he now?
