The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe library PA says closing time. Spotlight is still matching directory names after hours: one surname, one yes, down the alphabet. When they hit the last names, the count lands—eighty-seven priests in Boston, only three off Sipe's estimate of ninety. Someone swears under their breath. Robby wants MacLeish on the phone, and they ask for a printout. Watch a list of last names become a city-wide number.
