The Lost Angel Page #6

---

These guys were talking.

I heard.

Who? Junkies?

You think you're so much better? You're the

same thing as me, you just didn't face it.

F*** you if I am.

My hands will stink

for a week now.

You're saying the priest is next?

Yeah.

Maybe I just made it up.

I never dig her, kind of.

But I didn't see her that well.

So I went to you,

as I was always saying,

just that, when I think, I'm not going to,

like, think that

She thought I was looking at her.

So she came up to me after the game

right after me and you talked.

And then she wanted to

get back together.

Sandra Palmer?

- Yeah, that's me.

- Sister wants to see you.

Okay.

Are you just gonna

go with this guy?

It's not the first time I've been

pulled from school by a cop.

Is there something you're

not telling me?

My sister's a cop.

She's just busy.

Usually it's really important.

Sand, call me on my cell when

you get where you're going, okay?

Fake badge.

He said somebody would be

going after the priest's ears.

Well, that means Father Kevin

would be next.

- No.

- We have to protect him.

No, we will. It's just that something

you said about the secretary.

Margaret?

Yeah. You refer to her as

Father Kevin's ears.

I mean, is that something you call her,

or just everyone calls her that?

Everyone who deals with Father Kevin.

Well, that's a real lead, we'll need Julian's snitch.

You have to bring him in.

He knows. Did he say the ears?

He said the priest's ears.

Yes, okay?

Find her.

Speaking of protecting Father Kevin?

Why did you lie to me?

What?

Look, this picture here you said

the symbol meant 'shepherd.'

The shepherd and his flock.

When only that the shepherd was

this picture here.

where the symbol doesn't appear.

The symbol appears at the Morrison kill

And I distinctly remember Father Kevin

saying it means 'Father.'

I think you're right.

It's my mistake.

I told you I was a little rusty.

Father Kevin is the expert.

Not 'father' as in 'priest.'

But father and son.

The perp is Father Kevin's son.

You are talking about the

reputation of a priest.

I'm talking about you getting on

the phone to the Vatican

and finding out any records about

Father Kevin having a son.

Now, or I'll put Banks on it.

A call to the Vatican I think

I'll make in private.

Fine.

Billie, listen, this

gotta be bullshit.

- My guy was wrong about Wall, I mean...

- Not that wrong.

I mean... well, he says, the stuff,

is it, like psychic?

No, no. He's just... he's wired in.

He knows what's going on.

Inspector Palmer, you have a call from a kid

named Tom on line 3.

I thought it might be personal.

He says he knows your sister.

Put it through.

- Billie Palmer.

- Inspector Palmer, this is Tom Stewart.

Well, I'm kind of Sand's boyfriend.

Is she with you?

No. Why?

I told her to call me, when she got

where she was going.

She didn't.

- I'm kinda freaked.

- Tom, what are you talking about?

Well, you know, when you had that cop

pull her out of school today...

Tom, I did not pull Sand

out of school.

See, I was really kinda

wondering about that.

The car she got into didn't

even look like a patrol car.

I got the license plate number.

I'm gonna put you on with Detective Willis,

he's gonna take your statement.

Hold on. Willis, it's Billie,

take a statement on line 2

and run the plate.

Billie, when we find Brian Wall,

he's got a little girlfriend with him.

Put out a APB on

my sister now.

Billie?

Do you know how full of fire

you'll be? In an instant.

Don't worry.

Sis knows it's me.

She'll be coming for you.

And that's what we both want.

Right?

- Just in time.

- You okay, Sand?

I know you like to watch.

And I wouldn't start without you.

Drop your gun.

Drop your gun.

Hands behind your back.

Hands behind your back.

Ever hear of partners?

Now drop your gun, partner.

Put your gun down.

Now.

Let's go. Now.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

You're free. You don't ever have to sleep

with a gun under your pillow anymore.

You were there for me.

I'm gonna take you to

the hospital, okay?

No, I'm okay. I'm okay.

You take care of her.

I'm okay.

Well, is there anything

that you need?

I need you.

Yeah.

I did what you said.

Stake out the secretary.

And?

I think your hunch

is about to pay off.

I thought you might want

a crack at it.

Where are you at?

Colorado and 5th? How fast

can you get here?

- Leave a message.

- Julian, Colorado and 5th.

I think we just got lucky.

- Anything?

- Nothing yet.

- You wanna go in?

- Back me up in 5.

Call an ambulance.

She's still alive.

See, when someone lives,

and all turns around.

Yeah, they start talking,

start remembering.

You guys can go in now.

Hey, let me talk to her

alone, okay?

- Go for it.

- Okay.

He had a... a black coat.

I couldn't see his face.

Nothing else?

It wasn't Father Kevin. I would've

known if it were Father...

You love Father Kevin very much,

don't you?

I had this job for 5 years.

Before that I had nothing.

But what is more important,

Father Kevin's life or...

or your job?

[Margaret sobs]

Father Kevin.

Right.

You see, I worry so much

about my sister.

- Your sister?

- Yeah.

I was able to be there for her tonight.

Me and my partner.

And save you? I mean,

we're on an incredible row.

You know, just shuts

the demons up.

Now you have a chance to be there

for the person that you love the most.

I once said that I couldn't

depend on what you tell me,

I was wrong.

It's all that I can depend on.

There is a secret

at St. Rita's.

I've been keeping it from you.

It's okay.

The altar boy, the devil worshipper...

Kuratha.

He learnt a secret when

he was not

35 years ago.

Had a son.

She the one who

cut your face?

She was mad.

She wanted me to leave

the priesthood.

And?

And she took a knife

to the boy's throat.

And I stopped her.

What happened to the kid?

I made him go and live at

the County Orphanage.

Where is he now?

Ah... now that's the question,

isn't it?

And you let 4 people die

before telling me this

so nobody would know that

you broke your vows.

Do not worry. I would not be here

to play you much longer.

He poisoned himself.

Come here, come on.

Get an ambulance out here,

NOW!

If you cannot stop him,

I must.

Your son. This is the one

who's doing this.

I think I knew...

from the start.

You see, his mother

tried to kill him.

His father was ashamed

that he existed.

- And abandoned him.

- Have you seen him?

No.

Hang on, Father.

You see...

When I'm gone...

he would have no further need

to kill.

But he knew... that the... the only way

I could make him stop

was to commit...

immortal sin.

Now my soul is lost.

But when God judges me,

I would beg him...

to spare... my son's.

Forget the ambulance.

Send the coroner.

That thing you said about

the County Orphanage, your snitch,

He said he grew up

in the County Orphanage.

You gotta bring him in.

That's an order, partner.

I will. I will.
