Into Temptation Page #4

---

Please, tell me everything.

I can't stay. And

I need to borrow $200.

Dear God!

Oh.

Thanks.

You got your hair done.

It looks good.

Heard you were mugged.

Yeah, yeah.

Thanks for coming in.

I have time on my hands.

I need some

help, Lloyd.

It's a job.

It's kinda

difficult to ask.

It's potentially dangerous.

I'll pay you for it.

I'll do it.

You wanna know

what it is?

Doesn't matter.

You'll have to keep it

under your hat.

When do we start?

Tonight. It's night work.

I'll take a nap.

Yes. I'd like

to cancel my paper.

Effective now. Mm-hm.

Permanent.

Oh, you can give

the refund to my carrier.

Do you know who she is?

Thank you.

Hi. I'm sorry

to keep you waiting.

Judy tells me

you're with a church?

Yes. Well, I'm not here

on behalf of my church.

No?

I don't have a lot of time,

Mr. Miller, and I don't

wanna waste yours.

Plus, I can't afford

to be here long.

What can we do for you?

You were with a

woman, not your wife,

in a bar in Lowertown.

Cafe Havana.

She met you there at

approximately 9:
00 P. M.

You left together.

This can be verified.

Who are you?

I'm John Buerlein.

St. Mary Magdalen's

Church.

You've got a nerve

walking in here.

I need to find her,

and I have very

little time.

I'd like to

cancel my cable.

Permanent. Mm-hm.

Yep.

No.

Sure, yeah, I'll hold.

What do you want?

Um, well, I-I wanna

know her name.

Her name is Linda.

Last name?

I don't know.

Um, where does she live?

I don't know.

Near the bar.

Okay. How do

you know that?

That's why

we meet there.

Can you describe

her voice to me?

Yeah, she... I don't know,

she has a unique voice.

It's, uh... sexy.

How long have

you known her?

Why am I talking to you?

Because I am

asking nicely.

What are you gonna do

with this information?

I'm gonna go tell Judy

the receptionist if

you don't cooperate.

Please. How long

have you known her?

I have been seeing

Linda for a massage.

I don't know, three years.

Do you see

other masseuses?

No.

How did-how did

you find her?

Referral.

Not an ad

in a magazine?

No. No, she's not

that kind of...

Hooker?

I'm not sure a man

in your line will

understand this, Father,

but do you really

wanna know about Linda?

Yes.

It's different with her.

I'm more like a

client than a john.

She only has a few of us.

We pay her extremely well

and she makes it

worth our while.

How-how does

she do that?

She... she's

totally into it.

She makes you happy

to be a man.

I think she improves

my marriage to a woman

who lost interest in me

after our third

child was born.

Would your wife

agree with that?

No, she would not.

I know the risk I

run being with Linda.

I've decided

she's worth it.

Or was.

What? She... what,

what do you mean?

Linda ended it

after our last meeting.

She left me a note.

What did it say?

It said that she was

leaving. Permanent.

Didn't say where.

That's it?

It said a few other

things that are none

of your business.

I don't care

what you're after.

How did you

contact her?

We had a standing appointment.

Three years she never

stood me up once.

Like to have an office

full of employees like her.

I'm sure you would.

I'd like you

to write down

what she looks like.

What?

Height, weight, everything.

I wanna know what

she looks like.

You don't know

what she looks like?

Just her mouth and her neck.

Please, hurry. I have

to get back to work.

Donald Dupree, please.

Room 207.

Follow me, please.

He doesn't

have much time.

We didn't know

about any relatives.

In the name of the Father,

the Son, and the Holy...

Bless me, Father,

for I have sinned.

It's been three

to five years since

my last confession.

That's a long time.

I've been pretty good.

Okay, and what did

you wanna discuss today?

Impure thoughts.

Go on.

I have designs on a

man I'm not supposed

to have designs on.

Designs?

I want relations

with him, Father.

Mental,

physical,

emotional.

And I can't have it,

and it pisses me off.

Pardon my

goddamn language.

Are you here to talk

about your designs

or your anger?

I wanna talk about

why you left me.

You left me, Nadine.

Excuse me?

I went to college.

Give a girl a chance

to figure it out,

for God's sake.

You were right.

We were too serious

too young.

No. I came back.

Four years later.

I was in seminary.

Oh. Right.

Your calling.

I always hoped

that would be

the wrong number.

Nadine?

Yes, Father?

Why are you drunk?

I'm not drunk!

I had three little

goblets of screwdriver.

Christopher is

gone for a week.

To the d*ckhead dad's.

And I've never

been without him.

And I'm really

scared to be alone.

You know what you

need? Food. C'mon.

Hey, Donald.

Who is it?

It's your

stepdaughter, Linda.

Goddamn.

Didn't know if

you were alive.

I'm alive.

Me, too. Barely.

Today your birthday?

Yeah.

Do you remember

the first time

you raped me?

Came into my room

when mama wasn't home

and had your way with me?

I was 12.

What do you want?

I never raped nobody.

No?

That was... consensual.

We both know it, and

there's no use acting

like it didn't happen,

especially after

all these years.

What do you want?

Want you to

listen. Okay?

Okay.

That's a terrible

thing you did.

I hope you still

aren't pulling that sh*t.

Can't imagine you are

being as old as you must

be, but I've heard worse.

Mainly though, Donald,

l...

I just

want to say,

after all the years

of hating I've done,

I just, I just...

I wanna say

I forgive you,

Donald Dupree.

You're forgiven.

This,

this is for you.

You take care now.

So this is

Hill House, huh?

The food is really good.

I know. I have the

women of Sodality

to thank for that.

Aren't you eating?

No, I have to say

mass in five minutes.

Do you still

love me, John?

If you're worth your

weight in salt as a priest,

you'll tell me the truth.

Yes.

Do you desire me?

Nadine...

These guys

don't care.

Have you...

Have you had me

in your mind?

I had you

in high school.

You were my only.

Oh, God, you don't

know how happy that

makes me.

I'm not comfortable

talking about this

right now.

Okay, fine.

Okay?

Can we be friends?

Of course.

No, no, no, no.

I mean it. Can

you handle it?

Relating to someone

you love? Someone that

you desire?

Someone that you

don't have to save?

I think so.

Can you?

Of course.

I'm a woman.

I have to go.

Rosemary is

driving you home.

Okay?

Bye, Johnny.

So, how is it here?

Good.

Can't drink.

Well, that sucks.

Forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those who

trespass against us,

and lead us not

into temptation, but

deliver us from evil,

for Thy is the kingdom,

the power, and the glory,

forever and ever. Amen.

Danny, could you get

the lights for me?

Yeah. Yeah sure.

Hey. You're early.

Ready when you are.

Okay. Well, I'm trying

to locate someone.

A woman who I think

may be in trouble.

And I need to see

a man who might know

where she is.

And, um, well,
