The story so far
Everything you need before watchingIn a courthouse hallway, Mike Rezendes catches Mitchell Garabedian after a bruising hearing. The lawyer calls opposing counsel smug and sloppy, then agrees to talk off the record. Years ago a priest saw Geoghan taking boys upstairs, reported it, and was threatened with exile. When Garabedian later attached sealed discovery documents to a public motion, they became public record. The catch: in Boston, the files are no longer in the courthouse.

Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageThree years ago, I get a call from an ex-priest. Anthony Benzevich. and he saw Geoghan taking little boys up to the rectory bedroom, okay? So he's appalled, all right? Tells the bishop about it. The bishop threatens to reassign him to South America. Jesus. Yeah, all right. Benzevich reads that Geoghan's been charged with molesting hundreds of kids. All right? So he feels guilty. He calls me.
三年前,一个还俗神父打电话给我。 安东尼·本泽维奇。 他看见吉根 把小男孩带上神父宿舍的卧室,明白吗? 他吓坏了,对吧? 就去跟主教说了。 主教威胁要把他调走 调到南美去。 天哪。行,我听着。 本泽维奇读到吉根被起诉 性侵了几百个孩子。 对吧?他就内疚了。打电话给我。
Rogers opposes my motion, so I have to make an argument as to why I'm allowed to depose. Father Benzevich a second time, okay? But this time, I'm allowed to attach exhibits. Do you follow what I'm saying? The sealed documents? Yes. I can attach the sealed documents that I've gotten in discovery, Mr. Rezendes, the same documents that your paper is currently suing for.
罗杰斯反对我的动议, 所以我必须陈述理由 说明我为什么有权再传唤。 第二次传本泽维奇神父,明白吗? 可这一次,我获准附上证据材料。 你听懂我在说什么了吗? 那些封存文件?对。 我可以把封存文件附上去 那些我在证据开示里拿到的,雷森德斯先生, 就是你们报社正在打官司要的那些文件。
