- 00:01:23,835 --> 00:01:24,919
- How's that going?
- 2
- 00:01:25,003 --> 00:01:27,172
- The mother's bawling
- and the uncle's pissed off.
- 3
- 00:01:27,964 --> 00:01:28,965
- She's not married?
- 4
- 00:01:29,424 --> 00:01:31,259
- Divorced with four kids.
- 5
- 00:01:31,342 --> 00:01:33,344
- I guess Father
- was helping out.
- 6
- 00:01:33,970 --> 00:01:35,096
- Helping out?
- 7
- 00:01:37,849 --> 00:01:40,018
- Hey, Mr. Burke,
- they're in back talking to the bishop.
- 8
- 00:01:40,101 --> 00:01:42,562
- And Father?
- We put him in the break room.
- 9
- 00:01:42,645 --> 00:01:44,105
- Any press?
- 10
- 00:01:44,189 --> 00:01:46,274
- Some guy from the <i>Citizen</i>
- but we sent him away.
- 11
- 00:01:46,524 --> 00:01:47,734
- None of the big papers.
- 12
- 00:01:47,817 --> 00:01:50,111
- Let's keep it that way.
- 13
- 00:01:50,195 --> 00:01:52,614
- Who's that?
- Assistant DA.
- 14
- 00:01:53,656 --> 00:01:55,658
- It's gonna be hard to keep the
- papers away from the arraignment.
- 15
- 00:01:55,909 --> 00:01:58,203
- What arraignment?
- 16
- 00:02:00,330 --> 00:02:02,832
- You can tell Father Geoghan
- it won't be much longer.
- 17
- 00:02:04,083 --> 00:02:09,923
- Now, Sheila, you know what good
- work the church does in the community.
- 18
- 00:02:10,006 --> 00:02:12,342
- But I give you
- my personal guarantee
- 19
- 00:02:12,467 --> 00:02:14,844
- that I'm going to take
- Father out of the parish,
- 20
- 00:02:14,928 --> 00:02:17,472
- and this will never
- happen again.
- 21
- 00:02:18,848 --> 00:02:21,142
- We'll just be
- another moment, Paul.
- 22
- 00:02:22,018 --> 00:02:23,478
- Of course, Father.
- 23
- 00:02:23,561 --> 00:02:26,815
- Now, Sheila, I'm going
- to give you my personal card...
- 24
- 00:03:04,269 --> 00:03:07,355
- Losing a good reporter
- is always tough.
- 25
- 00:03:08,606 --> 00:03:10,233
- But losing
- one of our best...
- 26
- 00:03:10,733 --> 00:03:13,403
- Well, to put it
- as eloquently as I can,
- 27
- 00:03:13,486 --> 00:03:14,696
- it's a real kick in the ass.
- 28
- 00:03:15,905 --> 00:03:18,032
- But, Robby here
- has known Stewart
- 29
- 00:03:18,116 --> 00:03:19,868
- longer than most of you
- have been alive,
- 30
- 00:03:19,951 --> 00:03:22,328
- so, I'll hand it off
- to him. Robby.
- 31
- 00:03:22,412 --> 00:03:25,957
- Oh, well, thanks, Ben.
- I think.
- 32
- 00:03:26,124 --> 00:03:30,128
- Although I take issue with your
- reference to my seniority,
- 33
- 00:03:30,962 --> 00:03:35,091
- I will say that Stewart's departure
- is especially painful for me
- 34
- 00:03:35,174 --> 00:03:37,802
- because, uh...
- For what, Stewart?
- 35
- 00:03:38,052 --> 00:03:39,387
- Twenty years now?
- 36
- 00:03:39,470 --> 00:03:41,556
- Stewart's been more
- than willing to part
- 37
- 00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:43,057
- with his money
- at the poker table.
- 38
- 00:03:44,684 --> 00:03:47,186
- And I've got a kid
- in college.
- 39
- 00:03:47,312 --> 00:03:49,814
- Yeah, but I'm gonna keep playing.
- Oh, problem solved.
- 40
- 00:03:50,899 --> 00:03:52,317
- Godspeed then.
- 41
- 00:03:53,526 --> 00:03:58,573
- Now, Stewart, I find the
- timing of your departure
- 42
- 00:03:58,656 --> 00:03:59,657
- disconcerting.
- 43
- 00:04:00,575 --> 00:04:03,161
- The corner office sits empty,
- 44
- 00:04:03,494 --> 00:04:05,413
- the new editor
- arrives on Monday,
- 45
- 00:04:05,997 --> 00:04:09,167
- so I'm sorry, buddy,
- but I gotta ask ya.
- 46
- 00:04:09,792 --> 00:04:11,294
- What the hell
- do you know?
- 47
- 00:04:28,645 --> 00:04:30,104
- How's the cake?
- 48
- 00:04:30,188 --> 00:04:32,357
- It's really good.
- Are you saving yours?
- 49
- 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,317
- Nah, it's for Mike.
- I can never eat at those things.
- 50
- 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,736
- They kind of depress me.
- I know.
- 51
- 00:04:36,819 --> 00:04:38,071
- Did you see the numbers
- from Washington?
- 52
- 00:04:38,154 --> 00:04:40,782
- Yeah. Very interesting.
- I think so, too.
- 53
- 00:04:40,865 --> 00:04:43,242
- I'm not asking if the PD's lying,
- I know they're lying.
- 54
- 00:04:43,409 --> 00:04:45,244
- All I'm asking,
- who's behind it?
- 55
- 00:04:46,037 --> 00:04:48,957
- Oh. Okay, I get it.
- You don't want to talk.
- 56
- 00:04:50,083 --> 00:04:51,584
- No, Dan, I'm not mad,
- I'm hungry.
- 57
- 00:04:51,668 --> 00:04:53,336
- I've been talking here
- so long I didn't eat lunch.
- 58
- 00:04:53,419 --> 00:04:54,796
- So I'm gonna go
- get something to eat,
- 59
- 00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:56,214
- and that'll give you
- an hour to decide
- 60
- 00:04:56,297 --> 00:04:57,632
- whether you want to be
- on the right side of this
- 61
- 00:04:57,715 --> 00:04:59,509
- or read about it
- like everybody else.
- 62
- 00:04:59,592 --> 00:05:00,593
- Bye, Dan.
- 63
- 00:05:00,969 --> 00:05:02,428
- You think
- Cahill has something?
- 64
- 00:05:02,512 --> 00:05:04,555
- Maybe. I just don't think
- the story's for us.
- 65
- 00:05:05,098 --> 00:05:07,809
- Ben likes it. Yeah, it's not bad,
- it's just not Spotlight.
- 66
- 00:05:07,892 --> 00:05:08,935
- What's just not Spotlight?
- 67
- 00:05:09,060 --> 00:05:11,260
- The PD numbers.
- The numbers story. It feels thin.
- 68
- 00:05:11,896 --> 00:05:13,982
- Oh, you got Cahill to talk?
- 69
- 00:05:15,817 --> 00:05:16,901
- No, but I will.
- 70
- 00:05:17,610 --> 00:05:19,862
- Good. Then we'll know
- if it's thin.
- 71
- 00:05:21,906 --> 00:05:23,491
- - How'd it go upstairs?
- - Oh, okay.
- 72
- 00:05:23,574 --> 00:05:25,994
- - Robby gave a good speech.
- - Sure he did.
- 73
- 00:05:26,077 --> 00:05:27,787
- I heard Lubin and Connor
- are going to the <i>Times.</i>
- 74
- 00:05:27,870 --> 00:05:29,288
- - Come on, really?
- - Yeah, I heard that.
- 75
- 00:05:29,372 --> 00:05:30,373
- They're leeching us.
- 76
- 00:05:30,456 --> 00:05:32,542
- Well, at least they're sending us
- a guy from Miami to run things.
- 77
- 00:05:32,625 --> 00:05:33,710
- That should help.
- 78
- 00:05:34,085 --> 00:05:36,045
- Has Baron even
- spent time in Boston?
- 79
- 00:05:36,129 --> 00:05:38,673
- I don't think he's ever been here before.
- Maybe we should buy him a map.
- 80
- 00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:41,160
- I have a friend down in Miami
- said he cut 15% of the staff.
- 81
- 00:05:41,259 --> 00:05:42,593
- Great...
- Hey, Robby.
- 82
- 00:05:42,677 --> 00:05:44,262
- New boss coming in
- to make some cuts?
- 83
- 00:05:44,887 --> 00:05:46,180
- I have no idea.
- 84
- 00:05:46,931 --> 00:05:48,211
- Aren't you sitting down
- with him?
- 85
- 00:05:48,516 --> 00:05:50,685
- Yes, I am.
- So is it about Spotlight?
- 86
- 00:05:50,852 --> 00:05:53,104
- I don't know, Mike,
- but I do know
- 87
- 00:05:53,271 --> 00:05:55,982
- that Ben needs an answer
- on the crime numbers story.
- 88
- 00:05:56,607 --> 00:05:59,207
- I'm telling you,
- I really don't think that story's for us.
- 89
- 00:06:04,699 --> 00:06:05,867
- Mr. Baron.
- 90
- 00:06:06,743 --> 00:06:08,411
- Walter Robinson. Robby.
- 91
- 00:06:09,537 --> 00:06:11,039
- Thanks for taking the time
- out of your weekend.
- 92
- 00:06:11,122 --> 00:06:12,623
- Oh, my pleasure.
- Appreciate it.
- 93
- 00:06:13,916 --> 00:06:14,916
- What are you reading?
- 94
- 00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:16,169
- Uh...
- 95
- 00:06:16,294 --> 00:06:17,754
- <i>The Curse of the Bambino.</i>
- 96
- 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,922
- Oh, yeah,
- it's a great book.
- 97
- 00:06:20,256 --> 00:06:22,383
- The <i>Globe</i> has
- season tickets at Fenway
- 98
- 00:06:22,467 --> 00:06:24,010
- once you're settled in,
- by the way.
- 99
- 00:06:24,302 --> 00:06:25,553
- Thank you.
- 100
- 00:06:25,636 --> 00:06:28,473
- Uh, to be honest,
- I'm not much of a baseball fan.
- 101
- 00:06:28,556 --> 00:06:31,142
- I'm just trying to
- get a feel for the city.
- 102
- 00:06:31,726 --> 00:06:33,478
- Oh, yeah...
- 103
- 00:06:33,644 --> 00:06:35,354
- So you're originally
- from Boston?
- 104
- 00:06:35,521 --> 00:06:37,356
- I am. Born and raised, yeah.
- 105
- 00:06:37,523 --> 00:06:39,609
- A lot of the newsroom
- is from here.
- 106
- 00:06:39,776 --> 00:06:42,987
- It really feels like
- a local paper in that way.
- 107
- 00:06:43,488 --> 00:06:46,657
- And did that change at all after
- the paper was sold to the <i>Times?</i>
- 108
- 00:06:48,076 --> 00:06:50,912
- No. No, I don't think
- that had a big impact.
- 109
- 00:06:51,829 --> 00:06:52,830
- Good.
- 110
- 00:06:54,248 --> 00:06:57,418
- And you're an editor
- for the Spotlight team?
- 111
- 00:06:58,127 --> 00:07:01,130
- I'd prefer to think of myself
- as player coach. But yes.
- 112
- 00:07:01,798 --> 00:07:03,091
- Are you familiar
- with Spotlight?
- 113
- 00:07:04,092 --> 00:07:05,301
- No, not particularly.
- 114
- 00:07:05,468 --> 00:07:08,805
- Well, we are a four-person
- investigative team.
- 115
- 00:07:09,180 --> 00:07:11,516
- We report to
- Ben Bradlee, Jr.,
- 116
- 00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:13,684
- and we keep
- our work confidential.
- 117
- 00:07:15,645 --> 00:07:16,854
- What're you
- working on now?
- 118
- 00:07:17,313 --> 00:07:20,441
- We just put out a piece on a
- shoddy construction outfit,
- 119
- 00:07:20,525 --> 00:07:24,195
- and right now we're really just
- trolling around for our next story.
- 120
- 00:07:25,029 --> 00:07:26,364
- How long does
- that typically take?
- 121
- 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,575
- Hard to say.
- A couple months.
- 122
- 00:07:30,701 --> 00:07:31,702
- Couple months?
- 123
- 00:07:32,036 --> 00:07:34,038
- Yeah, we don't like to
- rush it.
- 124
- 00:07:34,372 --> 00:07:39,377
- Once we settle on a project, we can
- spend a year or more investigating it.
- 125
- 00:07:42,213 --> 00:07:44,715
- Is that a concern?
- Not necessarily.
- 126
- 00:07:45,591 --> 00:07:47,511
- Um, but from what I understand
- readership is down,
- 127
- 00:07:47,552 --> 00:07:50,972
- Internet is cutting into
- the classified business, and
- 128
- 00:07:51,556 --> 00:07:54,142
- I think I'm gonna need to
- take a hard look at things.
- 129
- 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,938
- So, do you anticipate
- more cuts?
- 130
- 00:08:00,231 --> 00:08:03,317
- I think it's safe
- to assume so,
- 131
- 00:08:04,235 --> 00:08:07,321
- but what I'm more focused on
- right now is finding a way
- 132
- 00:08:07,488 --> 00:08:10,950
- to make this paper
- essential to its readers.
- 133
- 00:08:12,368 --> 00:08:14,203
- I like to think
- it already is.
- 134
- 00:08:15,496 --> 00:08:19,500
- Fair enough. I just think
- that we can do better.
- 135
- 00:08:31,512 --> 00:08:33,055
- Mr. Bradlee.
- Hey.
- 136
- 00:08:33,139 --> 00:08:35,266
- Saw the PD numbers.
- Looks interesting.
- 137
- 00:08:35,349 --> 00:08:36,549
- Yeah, there's something there.
- 138
- 00:08:36,601 --> 00:08:38,811
- How long do you need?
- Another week.
- 139
- 00:08:39,896 --> 00:08:42,148
- Where're you going?
- 10:30.
- 140
- 00:08:42,481 --> 00:08:43,733
- Since when?
- 141
- 00:08:43,858 --> 00:08:46,068
- Technically,
- I am an editor.
- 142
- 00:08:46,235 --> 00:08:47,403
- Technically.
- 143
- 00:08:47,612 --> 00:08:49,447
- Your sit-down with Baron
- go that well?
- 144
- 00:08:49,822 --> 00:08:52,491
- I couldn't get a read on him.
- That's a first.
- 145
- 00:08:52,825 --> 00:08:55,369
- How about you?
- Oh, he's a barrel of laughs.
- 146
- 00:08:57,455 --> 00:08:59,248
- Morning, everyone.
- Let's get started.
- 147
- 00:09:00,291 --> 00:09:02,043
- Do you wanna
- say something, Marty?
- 148
- 00:09:02,585 --> 00:09:03,753
- Uh, sure.
- 149
- 00:09:05,838 --> 00:09:06,881
- Uh, hello.
- 150
- 00:09:07,882 --> 00:09:11,677
- As most of you know by now,
- my name is Marty Baron,
- 151
- 00:09:12,178 --> 00:09:15,097
- I'm delighted to be here.
- 152
- 00:09:17,558 --> 00:09:20,811
- Um, if you could tell me your name
- as we go around, that'd be helpful.
- 153
- 00:09:20,895 --> 00:09:22,230
- Thank you.
- 154
- 00:09:23,522 --> 00:09:25,524
- Okay. Peter?
- 155
- 00:09:25,733 --> 00:09:27,235
- Peter Canellos, Metro.
- 156
- 00:09:27,944 --> 00:09:30,029
- I've got a major
- Big Dig closure.
- 157
- 00:09:32,323 --> 00:09:34,492
- Hey, Steve. Hey.
- Mike.
- 158
- 00:09:35,576 --> 00:09:36,994
- Crappy game
- last night, huh?
- 159
- 00:09:37,495 --> 00:09:39,038
- Yeah, they can't hit
- worth a nickel.
- 160
- 00:09:39,205 --> 00:09:42,625
- Hey listen, what's Eileen McNamara
- doing in the 10:30?
- 161
- 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,128
- Do you need something, Mike?
- No, just curious.
- 162
- 00:09:46,671 --> 00:09:48,547
- Go be curious somewhere else.
- I got work to do, huh?
- 163
- 00:09:48,714 --> 00:09:49,924
- Okay, Steve.
- 164
- 00:09:50,007 --> 00:09:51,425
- See you.
- Yeah.
- 165
- 00:09:51,968 --> 00:09:54,553
- And it looks like Pedro's gonna
- be out until September 1st.
- 166
- 00:09:54,637 --> 00:09:57,348
- Jimmy says he'll be back this year,
- but the doc didn't seem so sure.
- 167
- 00:09:57,848 --> 00:09:58,975
- When's the Pats' opener?
- 168
- 00:10:03,062 --> 00:10:05,314
- Is that everyone?
- 169
- 00:10:05,439 --> 00:10:07,441
- Yes, that's it.
- Okay. Good.
- 170
- 00:10:07,692 --> 00:10:09,193
- Thank you. Uh...
- 171
- 00:10:09,568 --> 00:10:13,406
- Did everyone read
- Eileen McNamara's column this weekend?
- 172
- 00:10:14,407 --> 00:10:15,700
- That's the Geoghan case?
- 173
- 00:10:15,783 --> 00:10:17,702
- Yeah, what's the folo
- on that?
- 174
- 00:10:18,536 --> 00:10:21,622
- It's a column, what kind
- of folo were you thinking?
- 175
- 00:10:22,415 --> 00:10:25,501
- Uh, well, apparently
- this priest molested kids
- 176
- 00:10:25,584 --> 00:10:27,545
- in six different parishes
- over the last 30 years,
- 177
- 00:10:27,712 --> 00:10:30,006
- and the attorney
- for the victims, Mr...
- 178
- 00:10:30,339 --> 00:10:32,216
- Garabedian.
- Thanks, Eileen.
- 179
- 00:10:32,383 --> 00:10:34,468
- Mr. Garabedian says
- Cardinal Law found out
- 180
- 00:10:34,552 --> 00:10:36,345
- about it 15 years ago
- and did nothing.
- 181
- 00:10:36,429 --> 00:10:38,014
- Yeah, I think that
- attorney's a bit of a crank,
- 182
- 00:10:38,097 --> 00:10:39,598
- and the church
- dismissed the claim.
- 183
- 00:10:39,724 --> 00:10:40,850
- He said, she said.
- 184
- 00:10:41,183 --> 00:10:42,977
- Whether Mr. Garabedian
- is a crank or not
- 185
- 00:10:43,144 --> 00:10:45,479
- he says he has documents
- that prove the cardinal knew.
- 186
- 00:10:45,855 --> 00:10:48,065
- As I understand it,
- those documents are under seal.
- 187
- 00:10:48,316 --> 00:10:51,986
- Okay, but the fact remains,
- a Boston priest abused 80 kids,
- 188
- 00:10:52,153 --> 00:10:54,613
- we have a lawyer who says he
- can prove Law knew about it,
- 189
- 00:10:54,780 --> 00:10:58,117
- and we've written all of, uh,
- two stories in the last six months.
- 190
- 00:10:59,243 --> 00:11:02,496
- This strikes me as an essential
- story to a local paper.
- 191
- 00:11:02,663 --> 00:11:06,000
- I think at the very least, we have
- to go through those documents.
- 192
- 00:11:06,584 --> 00:11:07,877
- How would you
- like to do that?
- 193
- 00:11:08,878 --> 00:11:09,879
- Oh, uh...
- 194
- 00:11:10,046 --> 00:11:11,839
- I don't know
- what the laws are here,
- 195
- 00:11:11,922 --> 00:11:13,758
- but in Florida
- we would go to court.
- 196
- 00:11:14,633 --> 00:11:15,843
- You want to sue the church?
- 197
- 00:11:17,219 --> 00:11:18,512
- Technically we wouldn't
- sue the church.
- 198
- 00:11:18,596 --> 00:11:21,265
- We'd file a motion to lift
- the seal on those documents.
- 199
- 00:11:21,724 --> 00:11:23,476
- The church will read that
- as us suing them.
- 200
- 00:11:24,310 --> 00:11:25,644
- So will everybody else.
- 201
- 00:11:26,979 --> 00:11:28,314
- Good to know.
- 202
- 00:11:31,359 --> 00:11:32,651
- Gutsy call
- for the first day.
- 203
- 00:11:32,735 --> 00:11:33,944
- That's one word for it.
- 204
- 00:11:34,111 --> 00:11:35,911
- How do you think that's
- gonna play down front?
- 205
- 00:11:36,072 --> 00:11:37,823
- I think Gilman's
- gonna shit a brick.
- 206
- 00:11:38,032 --> 00:11:39,533
- Hey.
- Door.
- 207
- 00:11:40,034 --> 00:11:41,243
- How'd it go?
- 208
- 00:11:41,577 --> 00:11:45,206
- Well, Baron wants to sue for the
- sealed docs in the Geoghan case.
- 209
- 00:11:45,664 --> 00:11:48,250
- Wants to sue the church?
- Hey, that's great.
- 210
- 00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:51,462
- We covered Geoghan when the
- story broke three years ago.
- 211
- 00:11:51,629 --> 00:11:53,214
- Baron was still in Miami.
- 212
- 00:11:53,297 --> 00:11:55,257
- I think he might have been
- at the <i>Times</i> then, actually.
- 213
- 00:11:55,341 --> 00:11:56,384
- He wasn't here.
- 214
- 00:11:56,467 --> 00:11:57,987
- So do you think
- that suit has a chance?
- 215
- 00:11:59,178 --> 00:12:00,679
- Depends on the judge.
- 216
- 00:12:01,138 --> 00:12:02,973
- And what parish he belongs to.
- 217
- 00:12:04,642 --> 00:12:06,936
- Bradlee. Yeah.
- 218
- 00:12:07,895 --> 00:12:08,938
- Okay.
- 219
- 00:12:10,606 --> 00:12:11,899
- Baron wants to talk to us.
- 220
- 00:12:12,817 --> 00:12:13,859
- Us?
- 221
- 00:12:14,193 --> 00:12:15,945
- Okay, Jon. Thank you.
- 222
- 00:12:16,821 --> 00:12:18,823
- Yes. Okay, thanks.
- 223
- 00:12:20,449 --> 00:12:23,702
- I've set up a meeting for
- tomorrow with outside counsel.
- 224
- 00:12:23,911 --> 00:12:25,454
- Jon Albano?
- Yeah.
- 225
- 00:12:25,621 --> 00:12:27,123
- Who's the judge
- in this case?
- 226
- 00:12:27,748 --> 00:12:29,125
- Um...
- 227
- 00:12:29,834 --> 00:12:31,335
- Constance Sweeney.
- 228
- 00:12:31,627 --> 00:12:33,212
- Tough.
- Why's that?
- 229
- 00:12:33,921 --> 00:12:36,090
- Good Catholic girl.
- Huh.
- 230
- 00:12:37,842 --> 00:12:39,552
- So, um,
- 231
- 00:12:39,635 --> 00:12:41,762
- judging from what I've read,
- it doesn't seem like we've done
- 232
- 00:12:41,846 --> 00:12:44,723
- a very thorough investigation
- into the Geoghan case.
- 233
- 00:12:44,807 --> 00:12:46,809
- Is that right?
- No, it's not.
- 234
- 00:12:47,518 --> 00:12:48,978
- We looked hard at Geoghan.
- 235
- 00:12:49,145 --> 00:12:52,148
- David Armstrong from Metro,
- Michael Paulson for Religion.
- 236
- 00:12:52,898 --> 00:12:55,401
- Okay, but, uh,
- just so I understand,
- 237
- 00:12:55,568 --> 00:12:57,903
- beyond our daily coverage,
- we haven't...
- 238
- 00:12:58,070 --> 00:13:00,990
- We haven't committed any long-term
- investigative resources
- 239
- 00:13:01,157 --> 00:13:03,659
- to the question of whether or not
- Cardinal Law knew about this?
- 240
- 00:13:05,161 --> 00:13:06,412
- No, we haven't.
- 241
- 00:13:06,871 --> 00:13:08,751
- And that's the kind of thing
- your team would do?
- 242
- 00:13:08,998 --> 00:13:10,249
- Spotlight? Well, yeah.
- 243
- 00:13:10,416 --> 00:13:14,128
- But we're still prospecting the
- Boston PD story I told you about.
- 244
- 00:13:15,296 --> 00:13:16,547
- Could you set that aside?
- 245
- 00:13:16,672 --> 00:13:17,882
- We could.
- 246
- 00:13:18,215 --> 00:13:21,802
- Marty, in past Spotlight's
- had success in large part
- 247
- 00:13:21,969 --> 00:13:23,409
- because they pick
- their own projects.
- 248
- 00:13:27,183 --> 00:13:29,185
- Would you consider
- picking this one?
- 249
- 00:13:30,060 --> 00:13:31,604
- I don't know if
- he's writing about you,
- 250
- 00:13:31,687 --> 00:13:33,439
- but I will let him know
- you called.
- 251
- 00:13:33,522 --> 00:13:35,065
- Okay, bye.
- 252
- 00:13:35,149 --> 00:13:37,234
- Hey.
- Hey, how'd it go?
- 253
- 00:13:38,068 --> 00:13:40,154
- Okay. Uh...
- 254
- 00:13:40,237 --> 00:13:42,823
- Baron wants us to scrub
- the Geoghan case.
- 255
- 00:13:44,742 --> 00:13:46,285
- That's great.
- Didn't we cover Geoghan?
- 256
- 00:13:46,368 --> 00:13:48,871
- Yeah, there's a lawyer alleging
- Cardinal Law knew about it.
- 257
- 00:13:49,079 --> 00:13:50,719
- - Mmm. Mitch Garabedian, right?
- - Yeah.
- 258
- 00:13:50,748 --> 00:13:51,988
- I covered him
- at the courthouse.
- 259
- 00:13:52,416 --> 00:13:54,296
- Can you get to him?
- I only interviewed him once.
- 260
- 00:13:54,335 --> 00:13:55,669
- He's kind of a character.
- 261
- 00:13:55,753 --> 00:13:57,046
- I like characters.
- I'll take him.
- 262
- 00:13:57,254 --> 00:13:58,339
- Good. You take him.
- 263
- 00:13:58,422 --> 00:14:00,382
- Also, we should be
- talking to, uh,
- 264
- 00:14:00,549 --> 00:14:02,343
- the lawyer who repped the
- victims in the Porter case.
- 265
- 00:14:02,426 --> 00:14:03,427
- Eric Macleish.
- Uh-huh.
- 266
- 00:14:03,552 --> 00:14:06,388
- That guy was always on TV.
- Yeah, the Porter case?
- 267
- 00:14:06,597 --> 00:14:09,225
- Remind me.
- Yeah, um, Father Porter, similar story.
- 268
- 00:14:09,391 --> 00:14:11,769
- Molested dozens of kids in
- Fall River about 10 years ago.
- 269
- 00:14:11,852 --> 00:14:13,145
- So, we're dropping
- the Boston PD?
- 270
- 00:14:13,229 --> 00:14:14,355
- I vote yes.
- No, no.
- 271
- 00:14:14,438 --> 00:14:16,357
- We just gotta set
- it aside for now.
- 272
- 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,025
- Listen, I don't need
- to tell you guys this.
- 273
- 00:14:18,108 --> 00:14:19,693
- We need to be more
- discreet than usual.
- 274
- 00:14:19,777 --> 00:14:20,986
- All right?
- 275
- 00:14:21,070 --> 00:14:23,572
- Everybody's gonna be interested in this,
- not just the <i>Herald.</i>
- 276
- 00:14:24,198 --> 00:14:26,959
- We can't let Cardinal Law get wind
- of this until we know what we have.
- 277
- 00:14:28,118 --> 00:14:29,453
- Good luck with that.
- 278
- 00:14:35,292 --> 00:14:36,544
- <i>So when
- do you leave, Nana?</i>
- 279
- 00:14:36,627 --> 00:14:39,630
- The bus is picking us up in the
- church parking lot at 9:00.
- 280
- 00:14:39,755 --> 00:14:41,090
- We have 40 people going.
- 281
- 00:14:41,382 --> 00:14:42,800
- And is Father Dominic going?
- 282
- 00:14:42,967 --> 00:14:44,802
- No, he says
- he's unlucky.
- 283
- 00:14:44,969 --> 00:14:46,554
- But luck has nothing
- to do with it.
- 284
- 00:14:46,804 --> 00:14:49,473
- You know, last time Nana won $160.
- Wow.
- 285
- 00:14:52,434 --> 00:14:53,602
- You gonna tell her?
- 286
- 00:14:54,812 --> 00:14:56,355
- We don't even know
- if there's a story yet.
- 287
- 00:14:56,438 --> 00:14:58,983
- Well, <i>"Globe</i> sues church"?
- It's gonna be a story.
- 288
- 00:15:18,669 --> 00:15:21,672
- Hey, Lisa. Could you pull all the
- relevant clips on that for me?
- 289
- 00:15:21,839 --> 00:15:23,340
- Yeah.
- 290
- 00:15:23,507 --> 00:15:24,925
- Is this for Spotlight?
- 291
- 00:15:25,092 --> 00:15:26,892
- Just drop them off
- when they're ready? Thanks.
- 292
- 00:15:29,847 --> 00:15:32,141
- Excuse me, do you know where
- the publisher's office is?
- 293
- 00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:34,685
- Will do.
- 294
- 00:15:38,022 --> 00:15:39,315
- How are you, Marty?
- 295
- 00:15:39,857 --> 00:15:41,025
- Settling in?
- 296
- 00:15:41,275 --> 00:15:43,694
- Yeah, I think so.
- Good.
- 297
- 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:45,362
- What can I do for you?
- 298
- 00:15:46,196 --> 00:15:47,197
- Um...
- 299
- 00:15:47,948 --> 00:15:50,701
- I'd like to challenge the protective
- order in the Geoghan case.
- 300
- 00:15:51,744 --> 00:15:53,203
- You want to sue
- the Catholic Church?
- 301
- 00:15:53,537 --> 00:15:54,538
- Um...
- 302
- 00:15:55,205 --> 00:15:58,042
- We're just
- filing a motion, but...
- 303
- 00:15:58,208 --> 00:15:59,209
- Yes.
- 304
- 00:16:00,044 --> 00:16:01,211
- You think
- it's that important?
- 305
- 00:16:02,171 --> 00:16:03,756
- Yes, I do.
- 306
- 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,801
- Because obviously the Church
- will fight us very hard on this.
- 307
- 00:16:07,885 --> 00:16:10,471
- Which won't go unnoticed
- by our subscriber base.
- 308
- 00:16:10,554 --> 00:16:12,222
- 53% of them are Catholic.
- 309
- 00:16:12,723 --> 00:16:14,058
- Mmm-hmm.
- 310
- 00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:16,727
- I think
- they'll be interested.
- 311
- 00:16:20,397 --> 00:16:21,398
- Okay.
- 312
- 00:16:26,737 --> 00:16:28,864
- Marty, Lake Street
- will probably contact you
- 313
- 00:16:28,947 --> 00:16:30,032
- about a face-to-face
- with the Cardinal.
- 314
- 00:16:30,115 --> 00:16:31,116
- It's customary.
- 315
- 00:16:31,950 --> 00:16:35,120
- Yeah. They already have.
- It's set up for next week.
- 316
- 00:16:36,622 --> 00:16:38,290
- I wouldn't mention this.
- 317
- 00:16:49,259 --> 00:16:50,260
- Hello?
- 318
- 00:16:53,806 --> 00:16:55,182
- Hello?
- 319
- 00:16:55,265 --> 00:16:56,517
- Can I help you?
- Oh, hi.
- 320
- 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,160
- I'm Mike Rezendes
- from <i>The Boston Globe.</i>
- 321
- 00:16:58,227 --> 00:16:59,812
- I'm here to see
- Mitchell Garabedian.
- 322
- 00:17:00,270 --> 00:17:02,398
- He's on a call.
- Please have a seat.
- 323
- 00:17:03,107 --> 00:17:04,483
- Okay.
- 324
- 00:17:05,776 --> 00:17:07,444
- All right, I'm listening.
- Go ahead.
- 325
- 00:17:10,447 --> 00:17:11,448
- Okay.
- 326
- 00:17:12,116 --> 00:17:14,034
- Bill! Where the hell
- are those papers?
- 327
- 00:17:14,159 --> 00:17:16,078
- I asked you to
- put 'em on my desk!
- 328
- 00:17:31,427 --> 00:17:34,263
- The famous Walter Robinson
- in my conference room.
- 329
- 00:17:35,472 --> 00:17:36,592
- Good to see you again, Eric.
- 330
- 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,016
- Sacha Pfeiffer,
- Eric Macleish.
- 331
- 00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:39,143
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- 332
- 00:17:39,226 --> 00:17:41,228
- You don't play golf,
- do you?
- 333
- 00:17:41,311 --> 00:17:43,272
- Uh, no.
- Good.
- 334
- 00:17:43,355 --> 00:17:44,690
- Your colleague here
- took some money off me
- 335
- 00:17:44,773 --> 00:17:45,941
- at a charity event
- last year.
- 336
- 00:17:46,024 --> 00:17:49,319
- It was a very lucky putt. I actually
- had my eyes closed, by the way.
- 337
- 00:17:49,403 --> 00:17:50,779
- Mmm-hmm.
- 338
- 00:17:50,863 --> 00:17:52,698
- So, how can I help
- you guys?
- 339
- 00:17:52,906 --> 00:17:53,907
- Uh...
- 340
- 00:17:53,991 --> 00:17:56,201
- You're familiar
- with the Geoghan case?
- 341
- 00:17:56,493 --> 00:17:57,578
- Sure.
- 342
- 00:17:57,661 --> 00:18:00,622
- Eighty plaintiffs.
- All of them individual cases.
- 343
- 00:18:00,706 --> 00:18:02,291
- Garabedian must be swimming.
- 344
- 00:18:02,666 --> 00:18:06,044
- Well. And the allegations
- against Cardinal Law?
- 345
- 00:18:06,837 --> 00:18:08,380
- Yeah, it's tricky. Um...
- 346
- 00:18:09,548 --> 00:18:12,134
- This is what you need to understand.
- These are shitty cases.
- 347
- 00:18:13,218 --> 00:18:15,596
- The statute of limitations
- is only three years,
- 348
- 00:18:15,679 --> 00:18:18,807
- and most of these victims don't
- come forward until long after that.
- 349
- 00:18:19,308 --> 00:18:20,768
- Oh. Why is that?
- 350
- 00:18:20,851 --> 00:18:22,519
- Well, they're kids,
- you know.
- 351
- 00:18:22,603 --> 00:18:24,104
- Guilt, shame.
- 352
- 00:18:24,188 --> 00:18:25,939
- And most of these kids come
- from tough neighborhoods.
- 353
- 00:18:26,023 --> 00:18:29,026
- Nobody wants to admit
- this kind of thing.
- 354
- 00:18:29,318 --> 00:18:31,403
- So, you're screwed
- on the time limit.
- 355
- 00:18:31,487 --> 00:18:33,113
- And, uh,
- 356
- 00:18:33,197 --> 00:18:34,865
- even if you argue
- your way around that
- 357
- 00:18:34,990 --> 00:18:38,202
- the charitable immunity statute
- caps damages at 20 grand.
- 358
- 00:18:39,536 --> 00:18:41,914
- Twenty grand for
- molesting a child?
- 359
- 00:18:43,081 --> 00:18:45,834
- That is the way
- the system is set up. Yes.
- 360
- 00:18:45,918 --> 00:18:48,504
- The Church is tough.
- 361
- 00:18:48,587 --> 00:18:50,964
- So, your best shot
- is to try these cases
- 362
- 00:18:51,048 --> 00:18:54,051
- in the press
- like I did on Porter.
- 363
- 00:18:54,176 --> 00:18:56,178
- Hmm. But, you know,
- most of the victims,
- 364
- 00:18:56,261 --> 00:18:57,930
- they don't wanna have
- anything to do with TV.
- 365
- 00:18:58,013 --> 00:18:59,515
- And, uh,
- 366
- 00:18:59,598 --> 00:19:03,101
- Mitch isn't exactly
- a people person.
- 367
- 00:19:03,727 --> 00:19:06,313
- Yeah, and if Garabedian
- can't get his victims
- 368
- 00:19:06,396 --> 00:19:08,982
- to go before the press,
- then he's really...
- 369
- 00:19:09,066 --> 00:19:12,152
- That's right.
- He has a long road ahead of him.
- 370
- 00:19:12,236 --> 00:19:15,739
- My guess is he doesn't
- have anything on Law.
- 371
- 00:19:16,865 --> 00:19:18,534
- What? You think
- he's bluffing or...
- 372
- 00:19:18,909 --> 00:19:22,412
- I think he's grandstanding
- to cut a better deal.
- 373
- 00:19:23,539 --> 00:19:24,873
- Seems a bit reckless.
- 374
- 00:19:26,166 --> 00:19:28,168
- Have you met
- Mitch Garabedian?
- 375
- 00:19:28,919 --> 00:19:33,090
- I asked you to write up that motion,
- Bill. I didn't ask you to file it.
- 376
- 00:19:42,933 --> 00:19:46,228
- Hey, Bill, here's
- the case files from yesterday.
- 377
- 00:19:55,946 --> 00:19:56,947
- Hi.
- 378
- 00:19:58,448 --> 00:20:00,868
- Who are you?
- I'm Mike Rezendes from <i>The Boston Globe.</i>
- 379
- 00:20:00,951 --> 00:20:02,244
- I had an appointment
- with you about an hour ago.
- 380
- 00:20:02,327 --> 00:20:04,246
- I can't talk to you.
- I'm very busy. Sharon!
- 381
- 00:20:04,329 --> 00:20:06,456
- No, no. She went out for coffee.
- She said she'd be right back.
- 382
- 00:20:06,540 --> 00:20:08,083
- I'm following up
- on an article.
- 383
- 00:20:09,084 --> 00:20:11,086
- The one in the <i>Phoenix?</i>
- No. In the <i>Globe.</i>
- 384
- 00:20:11,461 --> 00:20:12,821
- Did you see
- the one in the <i>Phoenix?</i>
- 385
- 00:20:13,297 --> 00:20:14,897
- No, I didn't.
- I thought it was very good.
- 386
- 00:20:14,923 --> 00:20:16,133
- I have a copy here somewhere.
- 387
- 00:20:16,300 --> 00:20:17,740
- That's all right.
- I'll track it down.
- 388
- 00:20:18,594 --> 00:20:19,887
- I'm actually
- following up on a column
- 389
- 00:20:19,970 --> 00:20:21,805
- that Eileen McNamara
- wrote about your suit.
- 390
- 00:20:21,972 --> 00:20:24,182
- Suits.
- There are 84 of them.
- 391
- 00:20:24,266 --> 00:20:25,392
- It's not a class action.
- 392
- 00:20:25,517 --> 00:20:27,997
- You should get your facts straight.
- No, you're right. I should.
- 393
- 00:20:28,562 --> 00:20:30,480
- So I'm trying to get some
- background information on...
- 394
- 00:20:30,564 --> 00:20:32,399
- You're not
- recording this, are you?
- 395
- 00:20:33,025 --> 00:20:34,401
- No, I wouldn't do
- that without asking.
- 396
- 00:20:34,484 --> 00:20:36,820
- I can't show you those Church's
- documents if that's what you're after.
- 397
- 00:20:36,904 --> 00:20:38,071
- They're under seal.
- 398
- 00:20:38,655 --> 00:20:39,656
- Yeah, I know that.
- 399
- 00:20:40,657 --> 00:20:41,742
- Did you know that
- they tried to bring me up
- 400
- 00:20:41,825 --> 00:20:44,620
- before the Massachusetts Board
- of Bar Overseers three times?
- 401
- 00:20:44,870 --> 00:20:46,204
- They're watching me
- very closely.
- 402
- 00:20:46,288 --> 00:20:48,916
- The Church?
- Yeah. The Church. Yeah.
- 403
- 00:20:48,999 --> 00:20:51,251
- They'd like to get me disbarred.
- In fact, put that away.
- 404
- 00:20:52,461 --> 00:20:53,795
- Put it away.
- Sure.
- 405
- 00:20:53,962 --> 00:20:55,672
- I don't want you recording this
- in any way, shape or form.
- 406
- 00:20:55,797 --> 00:20:57,674
- Not on paper,
- not on tape, nothing.
- 407
- 00:20:57,758 --> 00:21:00,594
- In fact, I probably shouldn't
- even be speaking to you. So...
- 408
- 00:21:00,677 --> 00:21:02,012
- Look, Mr. Garabedian,
- 409
- 00:21:02,179 --> 00:21:04,848
- I know there's things
- you cannot tell me,
- 410
- 00:21:05,474 --> 00:21:06,808
- but I also know
- there's a story here.
- 411
- 00:21:06,892 --> 00:21:08,292
- And I think
- it's an important story.
- 412
- 00:21:08,685 --> 00:21:10,145
- I already talked
- to the <i>Phoenix.</i>
- 413
- 00:21:10,228 --> 00:21:11,908
- Yeah, and there's a reason
- I didn't see it.
- 414
- 00:21:12,189 --> 00:21:14,232
- Nobody reads
- the <i>Phoenix</i> anymore.
- 415
- 00:21:14,316 --> 00:21:15,943
- They're broke.
- They don't have any power.
- 416
- 00:21:16,193 --> 00:21:17,527
- The <i>Globe</i> does.
- 417
- 00:21:18,362 --> 00:21:20,656
- If we cover this story,
- everybody will hear about it.
- 418
- 00:21:22,658 --> 00:21:25,202
- The Church thinks
- in centuries, Mr. Rezendes.
- 419
- 00:21:25,535 --> 00:21:28,121
- Do you think your paper has the
- resources to take that on?
- 420
- 00:21:28,455 --> 00:21:29,706
- Yeah, I do.
- 421
- 00:21:30,457 --> 00:21:32,834
- But if you don't
- mind me asking,
- 422
- 00:21:33,001 --> 00:21:34,002
- do you?
- 423
- 00:21:35,212 --> 00:21:38,048
- I can't talk to you right now,
- Mr. Rezendes, I'm very, very busy.
- 424
- 00:21:41,677 --> 00:21:43,679
- Sharon? Yeah.
- Thank you.
- 425
- 00:21:43,845 --> 00:21:46,223
- Can I at least talk to some
- of your clients? The victims?
- 426
- 00:21:46,390 --> 00:21:47,975
- I'd really like
- to do that.
- 427
- 00:21:48,892 --> 00:21:50,352
- Call me tomorrow, I gotta think about it.
- Thank you.
- 428
- 00:21:50,435 --> 00:21:51,436
- Thanks.
- Yeah, yeah.
- 429
- 00:22:44,740 --> 00:22:46,199
- I got more clips
- from the library.
- 430
- 00:22:46,283 --> 00:22:47,743
- Leave 'em right there.
- 431
- 00:22:48,410 --> 00:22:50,412
- Are you guys doing
- a story on the Church?
- 432
- 00:22:50,579 --> 00:22:52,789
- No, we are not doing
- a story on the Church.
- 433
- 00:22:53,915 --> 00:22:55,917
- Matt, you find anything
- on this guy, Phil Saviano?
- 434
- 00:22:56,376 --> 00:22:57,961
- No. Who is he?
- 435
- 00:22:58,128 --> 00:22:59,629
- He's part of
- a victims' organization.
- 436
- 00:23:00,297 --> 00:23:02,497
- Kurkjian did a story on him
- right after the Porter case.
- 437
- 00:23:02,966 --> 00:23:04,801
- There's a victims'
- organization?
- 438
- 00:23:04,968 --> 00:23:06,595
- Yeah, it's called SNAP.
- 439
- 00:23:06,678 --> 00:23:08,805
- It's Survivors Network
- of those Abused by Priests.
- 440
- 00:23:09,139 --> 00:23:10,640
- - Crummy acronym.
- - Hmm.
- 441
- 00:23:13,310 --> 00:23:16,146
- You want me to track him down?
- Yeah. Bring him in.
- 442
- 00:23:16,229 --> 00:23:18,315
- How much longer you need
- to get through the clips?
- 443
- 00:23:18,815 --> 00:23:20,817
- I mean, a few days.
- There's a lot.
- 444
- 00:23:20,901 --> 00:23:22,360
- Lisa's still sending up more.
- Okay.
- 445
- 00:23:22,444 --> 00:23:25,655
- Hey, guys. I think I got
- another priest.
- 446
- 00:23:25,864 --> 00:23:29,743
- Liam Barrett.
- Molested some kids in Philly
- 447
- 00:23:30,285 --> 00:23:31,578
- and was moved to Boston.
- 448
- 00:23:31,661 --> 00:23:33,914
- Did the same thing
- and was moved again.
- 449
- 00:23:33,997 --> 00:23:35,624
- Really?
- That sounds like Geoghan.
- 450
- 00:23:35,791 --> 00:23:36,917
- Is that one of our clips?
- 451
- 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,586
- Yeah. Byline's
- Diego Ribadeneira, 1997.
- 452
- 00:23:39,669 --> 00:23:41,509
- Must've been back when
- he was working Religion.
- 453
- 00:23:42,339 --> 00:23:44,758
- Was there any folo?
- Not much. One short piece.
- 454
- 00:23:45,675 --> 00:23:47,886
- Huh.
- The Church settled the case.
- 455
- 00:23:50,597 --> 00:23:52,724
- Don't you know
- Jim Sullivan?
- 456
- 00:23:52,808 --> 00:23:54,851
- Yeah. Why?
- 457
- 00:23:54,935 --> 00:23:57,104
- Looks like the Church
- brought him in to help out.
- 458
- 00:24:05,362 --> 00:24:06,947
- Jesus...
- 459
- 00:24:07,030 --> 00:24:09,270
- Has anybody but Manny gotten
- the ball out of the infield?
- 460
- 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,619
- Nope. Why do you even
- bother with that thing?
- 461
- 00:24:12,702 --> 00:24:14,663
- It distracts me
- from the game.
- 462
- 00:24:14,746 --> 00:24:16,581
- Know what else
- is good for that?
- 463
- 00:24:16,998 --> 00:24:19,918
- Oh, yeah. Good idea.
- My round. I'll be right back.
- 464
- 00:24:20,252 --> 00:24:21,503
- Anybody want any food?
- No.
- 465
- 00:24:21,586 --> 00:24:23,171
- I'm all set.
- Hey, a hot dog.
- 466
- 00:24:25,632 --> 00:24:27,092
- So you guys
- making any progress?
- 467
- 00:24:27,259 --> 00:24:30,262
- Absolutely. It's a good story.
- Why?
- 468
- 00:24:30,595 --> 00:24:32,806
- Because you're another lapsed
- Catholic pissed off at the Church?
- 469
- 00:24:32,973 --> 00:24:34,975
- We've got a lot of good stuff.
- Like what?
- 470
- 00:24:36,601 --> 00:24:38,687
- I'm just watching the game.
- Omertà.
- 471
- 00:24:39,020 --> 00:24:41,273
- They got another priest,
- Liam Barrett.
- 472
- 00:24:41,356 --> 00:24:42,566
- We reported on him.
- 473
- 00:24:43,567 --> 00:24:44,860
- I'm just saying, we did.
- Okay,
- 474
- 00:24:44,943 --> 00:24:47,743
- but this guy was shuffled around from
- parish to parish every few years,
- 475
- 00:24:47,821 --> 00:24:48,989
- just like Geoghan
- and Porter.
- 476
- 00:24:49,072 --> 00:24:50,407
- I think there's a pattern.
- 477
- 00:24:51,366 --> 00:24:53,743
- Sounds thin.
- What else you got?
- 478
- 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,706
- Sacha's got another guy from a
- victims' organization, Phil Saviano.
- 479
- 00:24:57,789 --> 00:25:00,750
- From SNAP? Oh, boy.
- We reported on him, too.
- 480
- 00:25:00,834 --> 00:25:02,961
- I thought you were watching
- the game, Steve.
- 481
- 00:25:03,044 --> 00:25:04,364
- That guy's pretty
- banged up, Mike.
- 482
- 00:25:04,421 --> 00:25:05,672
- We did a couple
- stories on him.
- 483
- 00:25:05,755 --> 00:25:07,315
- That guy would not
- stop writing letters.
- 484
- 00:25:07,382 --> 00:25:08,717
- He wants a holy war.
- 485
- 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,093
- What? So he's not
- worth talking to?
- 486
- 00:25:10,177 --> 00:25:11,428
- Where are you
- on Garabedian?
- 487
- 00:25:11,511 --> 00:25:12,721
- I'm working on it.
- 488
- 00:25:12,804 --> 00:25:14,723
- Robby said Macleish
- thinks he's bluffing.
- 489
- 00:25:15,765 --> 00:25:17,017
- I think there's
- something there, Ben.
- 490
- 00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:19,020
- Get me something solid,
- or I'm taking you off it.
- 491
- 00:25:19,352 --> 00:25:21,646
- I don't want us chasing
- our tails on this.
- 492
- 00:25:30,780 --> 00:25:32,657
- Stay away
- from that trap.
- 493
- 00:25:32,824 --> 00:25:35,064
- You couldn't reach that
- trap in a million years, partner.
- 494
- 00:25:35,202 --> 00:25:37,078
- I've reached that trap before.
- 495
- 00:25:37,245 --> 00:25:39,122
- Yeah? Now Paul, maybe.
- 496
- 00:25:40,165 --> 00:25:42,000
- - How we doing?
- - We're good.
- 497
- 00:25:42,375 --> 00:25:43,919
- We're two up in the front.
- 498
- 00:25:44,085 --> 00:25:45,587
- Good.
- 499
- 00:25:45,754 --> 00:25:47,074
- How's that new editor
- working out?
- 500
- 00:25:47,464 --> 00:25:49,758
- Well, he doesn't
- like baseball.
- 501
- 00:25:49,966 --> 00:25:52,969
- But he seems like
- a smart guy.
- 502
- 00:25:53,678 --> 00:25:55,055
- Yeah, I read an article
- about him.
- 503
- 00:25:55,138 --> 00:25:58,225
- Said he's the first
- Jewish editor at the <i>Globe.</i>
- 504
- 00:25:59,142 --> 00:26:01,394
- Must have been
- a slow news day.
- 505
- 00:26:02,187 --> 00:26:03,521
- He got a family,
- this guy?
- 506
- 00:26:03,688 --> 00:26:05,941
- No. He is not married.
- 507
- 00:26:06,191 --> 00:26:08,777
- Divorced?
- I don't think so, no.
- 508
- 00:26:09,361 --> 00:26:12,239
- So the new editor of the <i>Globe</i> is an
- unmarried man of the Jewish faith
- 509
- 00:26:12,322 --> 00:26:14,157
- who hates baseball?
- 510
- 00:26:14,616 --> 00:26:16,451
- Yeah.
- Should have given it to Ben.
- 511
- 00:26:16,993 --> 00:26:18,411
- He's a Bradlee,
- for crying out loud.
- 512
- 00:26:18,495 --> 00:26:21,122
- Didn't raise his hand
- fast enough, I guess.
- 513
- 00:26:22,415 --> 00:26:23,583
- Hey, by the way,
- 514
- 00:26:23,667 --> 00:26:25,835
- I've been reading about this priest,
- Father Barrett.
- 515
- 00:26:25,919 --> 00:26:27,337
- Said you were
- involved with that.
- 516
- 00:26:27,879 --> 00:26:30,048
- Barrett, yeah. Bad egg.
- 517
- 00:26:30,674 --> 00:26:32,274
- Lake Street asked
- for help, I pitched in.
- 518
- 00:26:33,677 --> 00:26:37,347
- Victims said Cardinal Law knew about
- Barrett when he came from Philly.
- 519
- 00:26:37,597 --> 00:26:38,932
- Is that true?
- 520
- 00:26:39,015 --> 00:26:41,268
- You know I can't talk
- about the case, Robby.
- 521
- 00:26:43,353 --> 00:26:44,354
- Off the record?
- 522
- 00:26:45,230 --> 00:26:47,232
- Off the record
- I can't talk about it.
- 523
- 00:26:47,691 --> 00:26:49,943
- All right.
- This related to the lawsuit?
- 524
- 00:26:50,986 --> 00:26:52,153
- You know about that?
- 525
- 00:26:53,405 --> 00:26:54,990
- Look,
- 526
- 00:26:55,490 --> 00:26:57,742
- I don't know this guy Baron
- or what his agenda is.
- 527
- 00:26:57,909 --> 00:26:59,494
- Frankly, I don't care.
- 528
- 00:27:00,203 --> 00:27:02,455
- I just don't want to see you
- taking a bullet for him.
- 529
- 00:27:03,039 --> 00:27:04,791
- I think you're away.
- 530
- 00:27:10,171 --> 00:27:11,798
- Put it over here.
- Let's go. Let's go.
- 531
- 00:27:11,965 --> 00:27:15,802
- <i>So the other day
- I was on the World Wide Web.</i>
- 532
- 00:27:15,969 --> 00:27:18,471
- <i>Anything you want to know.
- It's right there.</i>
- 533
- 00:27:19,639 --> 00:27:21,850
- Now, I have to admit
- that as a priest,
- 534
- 00:27:21,975 --> 00:27:24,144
- this makes me
- a little nervous.
- 535
- 00:27:24,769 --> 00:27:27,355
- Should I be worried
- about job security?
- 536
- 00:27:29,190 --> 00:27:30,400
- I don't think so.
- 537
- 00:27:30,817 --> 00:27:33,653
- <i>You see,
- knowledge is one thing,</i>
- 538
- 00:27:34,029 --> 00:27:35,822
- <i>but faith...</i>
- 539
- 00:27:35,989 --> 00:27:37,991
- <i>Faith is another.</i>
- 540
- 00:27:52,964 --> 00:27:54,299
- Hey.
- 541
- 00:27:54,674 --> 00:27:55,842
- Hey.
- 542
- 00:27:57,552 --> 00:27:59,512
- Shouldn't you be
- golfing or something?
- 543
- 00:28:00,221 --> 00:28:02,015
- Golfing's not a verb.
- 544
- 00:28:02,432 --> 00:28:03,933
- And I couldn't get
- a tee time.
- 545
- 00:28:04,434 --> 00:28:06,353
- Is that what they call it?
- "Tee time"?
- 546
- 00:28:06,895 --> 00:28:09,856
- They also call it "a leisure activity."
- You ought to try it, Mike.
- 547
- 00:28:10,023 --> 00:28:13,026
- I do. I run.
- Yeah, you run to work.
- 548
- 00:28:16,404 --> 00:28:17,530
- So why are you here today?
- 549
- 00:28:18,031 --> 00:28:20,075
- Going over these clips
- of Saviano.
- 550
- 00:28:20,241 --> 00:28:22,619
- Yep, Ben and Steve
- think it's a dead end.
- 551
- 00:28:22,702 --> 00:28:24,662
- They gave me a bunch of
- crap about it at the game.
- 552
- 00:28:24,746 --> 00:28:26,289
- Yeah, Ben emailed me.
- 553
- 00:28:26,581 --> 00:28:28,249
- He did?
- Yeah.
- 554
- 00:28:29,084 --> 00:28:30,752
- He said we should
- let it go.
- 555
- 00:28:31,461 --> 00:28:32,629
- What do you wanna do?
- 556
- 00:28:33,380 --> 00:28:34,881
- I wanna bring Saviano in.
- 557
- 00:28:35,673 --> 00:28:38,093
- So, just ignore those guys?
- 558
- 00:28:41,262 --> 00:28:43,807
- I think we've got to start
- ignoring everybody on this one.
- 559
- 00:28:44,432 --> 00:28:45,809
- I'm good with that.
- 560
- 00:28:45,892 --> 00:28:47,185
- Mmm.
- 561
- 00:28:50,814 --> 00:28:53,775
- Do you think Marty has any idea
- what's coming down the pike?
- 562
- 00:28:54,150 --> 00:28:56,986
- Nope. I don't think
- he cares either.
- 563
- 00:28:57,362 --> 00:28:58,780
- That's refreshing.
- 564
- 00:28:58,863 --> 00:29:00,198
- Yeah.
- 565
- 00:29:02,450 --> 00:29:04,119
- Unless he's wrong.
- 566
- 00:29:22,595 --> 00:29:25,765
- <i>I've always been
- fascinated with the newspaper business.</i>
- 567
- 00:29:26,433 --> 00:29:28,852
- I used to sit in on the lectures
- with the Nieman fellows
- 568
- 00:29:29,018 --> 00:29:30,437
- when I was at Harvard.
- 569
- 00:29:31,688 --> 00:29:34,691
- I read that you were
- an editor once.
- 570
- 00:29:35,567 --> 00:29:36,860
- Oh, yes.
- 571
- 00:29:37,402 --> 00:29:39,654
- Yeah, that was
- a very long time ago.
- 572
- 00:29:39,737 --> 00:29:42,157
- The <i>Mississippi Register.</i>
- 573
- 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,493
- Small, diocesan newspaper.
- 574
- 00:29:46,369 --> 00:29:50,957
- But for a 30-year-old pastor,
- it was a big responsibility.
- 575
- 00:29:52,083 --> 00:29:53,334
- Too much at times.
- 576
- 00:29:54,961 --> 00:29:55,962
- How so?
- 577
- 00:29:57,964 --> 00:30:00,383
- I was close with
- the Evers brothers.
- 578
- 00:30:00,508 --> 00:30:02,886
- We took a stand
- on civil rights.
- 579
- 00:30:02,969 --> 00:30:05,472
- Our readership
- was not pleased.
- 580
- 00:30:06,097 --> 00:30:08,308
- They saw me
- as a meddling outsider.
- 581
- 00:30:09,934 --> 00:30:11,686
- I can imagine.
- 582
- 00:30:11,895 --> 00:30:13,521
- Tough seat to sit in,
- 583
- 00:30:13,605 --> 00:30:15,607
- especially in a small town.
- 584
- 00:30:16,483 --> 00:30:20,403
- I think you'll find that Boston's
- still a small town, too, Marty,
- 585
- 00:30:20,487 --> 00:30:22,030
- in many ways.
- 586
- 00:30:23,406 --> 00:30:27,744
- But if I can be of any help,
- Marty, don't hesitate to ask.
- 587
- 00:30:28,369 --> 00:30:31,206
- I find that
- the city flourishes
- 588
- 00:30:31,372 --> 00:30:33,541
- when its great institutions
- work together.
- 589
- 00:30:35,251 --> 00:30:36,503
- Thank you.
- 590
- 00:30:36,586 --> 00:30:39,839
- Personally I'm of the opinion that for
- a paper to best perform its function,
- 591
- 00:30:40,006 --> 00:30:42,884
- it really needs
- to stand alone.
- 592
- 00:30:45,136 --> 00:30:47,222
- Ah. Of course.
- 593
- 00:30:48,097 --> 00:30:50,016
- But my offer still stands.
- 594
- 00:30:50,725 --> 00:30:52,227
- Thank you.
- 595
- 00:30:53,645 --> 00:30:54,812
- Come in.
- 596
- 00:30:55,438 --> 00:30:56,689
- Ah!
- 597
- 00:30:58,316 --> 00:30:59,651
- Thank you, Maureen.
- 598
- 00:31:02,237 --> 00:31:03,988
- A little gift, Marty.
- 599
- 00:31:05,281 --> 00:31:09,035
- Think of it as a Cardinal's
- guide to the city of Boston.
- 600
- 00:31:26,344 --> 00:31:28,346
- I'm here to see
- Sacha Pfeiffer.
- 601
- 00:31:28,596 --> 00:31:30,598
- Your name?
- Phil Saviano.
- 602
- 00:31:30,765 --> 00:31:32,517
- Okay, just a minute.
- 603
- 00:31:34,018 --> 00:31:36,020
- So am I the first
- survivor you've talked to?
- 604
- 00:31:36,187 --> 00:31:37,522
- Yeah, Phil.
- You are.
- 605
- 00:31:37,772 --> 00:31:39,524
- Okay, well...
- 606
- 00:31:40,066 --> 00:31:43,236
- First of all, let me say thank you
- for having me in today.
- 607
- 00:31:44,153 --> 00:31:45,321
- And I want you to know
- 608
- 00:31:45,405 --> 00:31:48,449
- that you have the full cooperation
- of my organization, SNAP.
- 609
- 00:31:48,533 --> 00:31:50,451
- How many members are in
- your organization, Phil?
- 610
- 00:31:50,868 --> 00:31:52,829
- We had 11 at
- our last chapter meeting...
- 611
- 00:31:52,996 --> 00:31:55,498
- Uh, no, 10.
- Karen just moved.
- 612
- 00:31:56,082 --> 00:31:57,542
- You had a woman
- in your group?
- 613
- 00:31:57,709 --> 00:31:59,252
- Of course there was a woman.
- They don't discriminate,
- 614
- 00:31:59,335 --> 00:32:00,628
- not when it comes to abuse.
- 615
- 00:32:00,712 --> 00:32:02,463
- And this has nothing
- to do with being gay.
- 616
- 00:32:02,547 --> 00:32:05,174
- What this is, is priests using
- the collar to rape kids.
- 617
- 00:32:05,758 --> 00:32:07,594
- Kids. Boys and girls.
- 618
- 00:32:14,684 --> 00:32:16,561
- I was 11,
- 619
- 00:32:16,644 --> 00:32:19,897
- and I was preyed upon by Father
- David Holley in Worcester.
- 620
- 00:32:20,732 --> 00:32:23,151
- And I don't mean prayed for.
- I mean preyed upon.
- 621
- 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:26,446
- Are any of you Catholic?
- 622
- 00:32:26,863 --> 00:32:30,742
- I was raised Catholic.
- Now I go to my wife's Presbyterian church.
- 623
- 00:32:31,868 --> 00:32:33,369
- I'm lapsed.
- 624
- 00:32:33,453 --> 00:32:35,213
- I go to church with
- my grandmother sometimes.
- 625
- 00:32:35,580 --> 00:32:39,083
- It's safe to say we were all
- raised Catholic, but now...
- 626
- 00:32:39,167 --> 00:32:40,835
- Not so much.
- 627
- 00:32:40,918 --> 00:32:42,920
- Okay. Well,
- let me tell you.
- 628
- 00:32:43,004 --> 00:32:46,591
- When you're a poor kid from a poor
- family, religion counts for a lot.
- 629
- 00:32:46,758 --> 00:32:49,761
- And when a priest pays attention
- to you, it's a big deal.
- 630
- 00:32:50,511 --> 00:32:51,888
- He asks you to collect
- the hymnals
- 631
- 00:32:51,971 --> 00:32:53,931
- or take out the trash,
- you feel special.
- 632
- 00:32:54,140 --> 00:32:56,184
- It's like God
- asking for help.
- 633
- 00:32:56,809 --> 00:32:59,312
- So maybe it's a little weird
- when he tells you a dirty joke,
- 634
- 00:32:59,896 --> 00:33:03,232
- but now you got a secret
- together, so you go along.
- 635
- 00:33:04,108 --> 00:33:07,111
- Then he shows you a porno mag,
- and you go along.
- 636
- 00:33:07,654 --> 00:33:09,822
- And you go along,
- and you go along,
- 637
- 00:33:09,989 --> 00:33:13,242
- until one day he asks you to jerk
- him off or give him a blow job.
- 638
- 00:33:13,326 --> 00:33:14,869
- And so you go along
- with that, too,
- 639
- 00:33:15,036 --> 00:33:16,704
- because you feel trapped,
- 640
- 00:33:16,788 --> 00:33:19,207
- because he has groomed you.
- 641
- 00:33:19,957 --> 00:33:21,793
- How do you say
- no to God, right?
- 642
- 00:33:22,502 --> 00:33:23,586
- See,
- 643
- 00:33:24,712 --> 00:33:27,048
- it is important to understand that
- this is not just physical abuse,
- 644
- 00:33:27,215 --> 00:33:29,050
- it's spiritual abuse, too.
- 645
- 00:33:29,759 --> 00:33:33,763
- And when a priest does this to you,
- he robs you of your faith.
- 646
- 00:33:34,806 --> 00:33:36,933
- So you reach for
- the bottle or the needle.
- 647
- 00:33:37,433 --> 00:33:39,560
- Or if those don't work,
- you jump off a bridge.
- 648
- 00:33:39,727 --> 00:33:41,521
- That's why we call
- ourselves survivors.
- 649
- 00:33:41,688 --> 00:33:42,814
- Have you read
- Jason Berry's book?
- 650
- 00:33:42,897 --> 00:33:44,816
- He wrote about the Gauthe
- case in Louisiana?
- 651
- 00:33:44,982 --> 00:33:47,068
- Uh, that's "G"...
- G-A-U-T-H-E.
- 652
- 00:33:47,151 --> 00:33:49,112
- Here. And talk to
- Richard Sipe.
- 653
- 00:33:49,195 --> 00:33:51,572
- He worked in one of the
- Church's treatment centers.
- 654
- 00:33:51,656 --> 00:33:53,574
- He's an ex-priest,
- 655
- 00:33:53,658 --> 00:33:55,159
- married a nun.
- 656
- 00:33:55,660 --> 00:33:56,744
- Here.
- 657
- 00:33:57,036 --> 00:33:58,663
- This is his testimony
- from the Kos case.
- 658
- 00:33:58,746 --> 00:34:00,248
- Uh, Phil,
- what's a treatment center?
- 659
- 00:34:00,748 --> 00:34:02,250
- It's where they send priests
- when they get caught.
- 660
- 00:34:02,333 --> 00:34:03,793
- This is all right here
- in the box,
- 661
- 00:34:03,876 --> 00:34:05,628
- I sent this all to you guys
- five years ago.
- 662
- 00:34:06,254 --> 00:34:09,090
- Uh, to the <i>Globe?</i>
- Who did you send it to?
- 663
- 00:34:11,551 --> 00:34:14,151
- I don't wanna say who, but they
- said that they weren't interested.
- 664
- 00:34:14,262 --> 00:34:16,347
- Uh, but Phil, we did run a
- couple of stories on you.
- 665
- 00:34:16,431 --> 00:34:17,724
- I saw them in the clips.
- 666
- 00:34:17,807 --> 00:34:20,184
- Yeah, but to be completely frank,
- it wasn't enough.
- 667
- 00:34:22,061 --> 00:34:24,939
- You guys gotta understand,
- 668
- 00:34:25,022 --> 00:34:26,107
- this is big.
- 669
- 00:34:26,190 --> 00:34:30,194
- This is not just Boston. It's the
- whole country. It's the whole world.
- 670
- 00:34:30,278 --> 00:34:32,029
- And it goes right
- up to the Vatican.
- 671
- 00:34:32,780 --> 00:34:34,282
- Do you have any
- proof of that, Phil?
- 672
- 00:34:34,532 --> 00:34:37,285
- No, not yet. But think about it,
- there are so many of them.
- 673
- 00:34:37,452 --> 00:34:39,292
- How else could they have
- hidden it for so long?
- 674
- 00:34:39,579 --> 00:34:41,414
- So many what?
- Priests!
- 675
- 00:34:42,290 --> 00:34:43,791
- Priests!
- 676
- 00:34:44,333 --> 00:34:46,461
- I know of 13
- right here in Boston.
- 677
- 00:34:47,170 --> 00:34:50,214
- You know 13 priests in Boston
- who have molested children?
- 678
- 00:34:50,381 --> 00:34:52,675
- Yeah, why do you keep
- repeating everything I say?
- 679
- 00:34:53,301 --> 00:34:55,261
- I just like to
- clarify things.
- 680
- 00:34:55,344 --> 00:34:56,971
- Maybe you should have
- clarified it five years ago
- 681
- 00:34:57,054 --> 00:34:58,765
- when I sent you
- all of this stuff!
- 682
- 00:34:58,848 --> 00:35:01,017
- It's all right here!
- 683
- 00:35:09,984 --> 00:35:11,778
- May I use your bathroom?
- 684
- 00:35:11,861 --> 00:35:13,362
- Yeah, sure, Phil.
- 685
- 00:35:13,446 --> 00:35:14,822
- Come on.
- 686
- 00:35:21,245 --> 00:35:23,247
- Well, what do you think?
- 687
- 00:35:24,373 --> 00:35:26,542
- Well, the guy, he's got an agenda,
- that's for sure.
- 688
- 00:35:26,626 --> 00:35:28,169
- You think?
- He's obviously been through a lot.
- 689
- 00:35:28,336 --> 00:35:30,421
- But he's smart, and if he's
- right about 13 priests...
- 690
- 00:35:30,588 --> 00:35:32,381
- Yeah, it might be
- a big "if" with this guy.
- 691
- 00:35:32,465 --> 00:35:33,841
- Do a background check
- on him,
- 692
- 00:35:34,008 --> 00:35:36,093
- and follow up with some of the
- other survivors of his group.
- 693
- 00:35:36,260 --> 00:35:38,846
- I'll track down
- this ex-priest, Sipe.
- 694
- 00:35:38,930 --> 00:35:40,970
- Okay, but stay on Garabedian.
- That's more important.
- 695
- 00:35:41,224 --> 00:35:43,267
- Garabedian,
- what a pain in the ass.
- 696
- 00:35:43,601 --> 00:35:45,102
- You can be a pain
- in the ass, Mike.
- 697
- 00:35:46,312 --> 00:35:47,313
- Mmm.
- 698
- 00:35:58,783 --> 00:36:00,827
- Mitchell, what a surprise.
- How are you?
- 699
- 00:36:00,910 --> 00:36:02,870
- I'm fine, Mr. Rezendes.
- Good.
- 700
- 00:36:02,954 --> 00:36:05,373
- You know, I haven't heard back from you.
- I left you a couple of messages.
- 701
- 00:36:05,456 --> 00:36:07,458
- I know. I've been very busy.
- I don't have time for calls.
- 702
- 00:36:07,542 --> 00:36:08,662
- Oh, jeez,
- I'm sure you don't.
- 703
- 00:36:08,709 --> 00:36:11,712
- Listen, listen, Mitch, let me
- talk to a couple of the victims.
- 704
- 00:36:11,796 --> 00:36:13,116
- You could sit in
- on the interview,
- 705
- 00:36:13,172 --> 00:36:14,423
- and if you're not happy,
- you could kill it.
- 706
- 00:36:14,507 --> 00:36:17,387
- I spoke to my clients, and they don't
- want to be in the press. I'm sorry.
- 707
- 00:36:17,426 --> 00:36:20,096
- I get that, but I don't need
- to name names.
- 708
- 00:36:20,221 --> 00:36:21,889
- I don't believe you, Mr. Rezendes.
- I'm sure you don't.
- 709
- 00:36:22,056 --> 00:36:23,558
- I don't.
- Listen, Mitchell.
- 710
- 00:36:23,641 --> 00:36:25,059
- Look, Mr. Rezendes,
- please...
- 711
- 00:36:25,184 --> 00:36:26,602
- I'm not writing
- a profile here.
- 712
- 00:36:26,769 --> 00:36:28,771
- I'm working on something bigger.
- Bigger?
- 713
- 00:36:28,938 --> 00:36:30,231
- I don't know
- what that means.
- 714
- 00:36:30,398 --> 00:36:31,482
- I'm not supposed
- to tell you this,
- 715
- 00:36:31,566 --> 00:36:33,276
- but I'm digging around
- for Spotlight.
- 716
- 00:36:35,236 --> 00:36:36,946
- Spotlight's on this?
- Yeah, we're looking into it,
- 717
- 00:36:37,113 --> 00:36:38,614
- but you gotta help me.
- 718
- 00:36:38,823 --> 00:36:41,117
- You gotta let me talk to some
- of these victims, please.
- 719
- 00:36:44,620 --> 00:36:45,913
- Please.
- 720
- 00:36:49,166 --> 00:36:51,002
- Come back tomorrow.
- 9:30 a.m.
- 721
- 00:36:51,836 --> 00:36:53,296
- Thank you.
- 722
- 00:37:05,975 --> 00:37:07,435
- Ms. Pfeiffer?
- Joe?
- 723
- 00:37:07,518 --> 00:37:08,686
- Hi.
- Oh, shoot.
- 724
- 00:37:08,769 --> 00:37:09,854
- Oh, that's okay.
- Sorry.
- 725
- 00:37:09,937 --> 00:37:11,022
- No, no problem.
- Please sit.
- 726
- 00:37:11,105 --> 00:37:12,231
- Thank you.
- 727
- 00:37:12,315 --> 00:37:13,858
- Is this table okay?
- 728
- 00:37:13,941 --> 00:37:15,484
- This is perfect.
- 729
- 00:37:15,818 --> 00:37:17,820
- I had a muffin
- while I was waiting.
- 730
- 00:37:18,154 --> 00:37:19,822
- Two, actually.
- 731
- 00:37:20,323 --> 00:37:22,950
- I eat when I'm nervous.
- I do that, too, actually.
- 732
- 00:37:23,826 --> 00:37:26,829
- I hope I'm not late.
- Phil told me 1:00.
- 733
- 00:37:27,330 --> 00:37:30,124
- No, you're fine.
- I got here early.
- 734
- 00:37:30,333 --> 00:37:31,542
- About an hour.
- 735
- 00:37:34,128 --> 00:37:37,298
- Um, would you mind if I took some notes?
- Would that be all right?
- 736
- 00:37:42,553 --> 00:37:44,680
- You don't mind
- if I take some notes, do you?
- 737
- 00:37:45,181 --> 00:37:47,183
- - Are you going to use my name?
- - No.
- 738
- 00:37:48,684 --> 00:37:50,770
- Not if you don't
- want me to. No.
- 739
- 00:37:50,853 --> 00:37:52,897
- I just had a kid.
- 740
- 00:37:52,980 --> 00:37:55,900
- He's only one, but I'm not sure
- I want him to know about this.
- 741
- 00:37:56,359 --> 00:37:57,610
- Sure. I get that.
- 742
- 00:37:57,693 --> 00:37:59,987
- You can stop this interview
- at any time, Patrick.
- 743
- 00:38:00,321 --> 00:38:02,031
- All right?
- Okay.
- 744
- 00:38:04,909 --> 00:38:06,369
- Go ahead with your notes.
- 745
- 00:38:06,869 --> 00:38:08,245
- Okay. So, um...
- 746
- 00:38:10,706 --> 00:38:12,541
- Where'd you live
- when it first happened?
- 747
- 00:38:13,376 --> 00:38:15,586
- In the projects,
- over in Hyde Park.
- 748
- 00:38:16,170 --> 00:38:17,421
- Over by the Stop & Shop?
- 749
- 00:38:18,339 --> 00:38:20,174
- Yeah, you know it?
- 750
- 00:38:20,758 --> 00:38:22,843
- Yeah, I drove a cab
- for a few years.
- 751
- 00:38:22,927 --> 00:38:24,553
- Open early.
- Bad coffee, right?
- 752
- 00:38:25,388 --> 00:38:26,889
- Yeah, I guess.
- 753
- 00:38:28,724 --> 00:38:30,726
- How old were you
- when it happened?
- 754
- 00:38:31,268 --> 00:38:32,603
- I was 12.
- 755
- 00:38:34,063 --> 00:38:35,898
- Just after my dad
- killed himself.
- 756
- 00:38:36,691 --> 00:38:37,984
- Ah, jeez.
- 757
- 00:38:38,150 --> 00:38:39,986
- He was a real
- piece of shit.
- 758
- 00:38:40,403 --> 00:38:42,738
- And my mom,
- she wasn't so stable either.
- 759
- 00:38:43,364 --> 00:38:45,157
- How do you mean?
- I mean, she was nuts.
- 760
- 00:38:45,241 --> 00:38:48,327
- She was a schizophrenic.
- Same shit.
- 761
- 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:52,540
- When did you
- first meet Geoghan?
- 762
- 00:38:53,958 --> 00:38:56,085
- Well, my sister,
- 763
- 00:38:56,168 --> 00:38:58,170
- she saw him over
- in the Dunkin' Donuts.
- 764
- 00:38:58,754 --> 00:39:01,549
- Tells him about my old man passing,
- and he rushed right over.
- 765
- 00:39:01,757 --> 00:39:03,092
- And there was this nun,
- Sister Barbara,
- 766
- 00:39:03,175 --> 00:39:05,678
- and she ran this group for
- kids from troubled families.
- 767
- 00:39:05,928 --> 00:39:06,929
- Mmm-hmm.
- 768
- 00:39:07,096 --> 00:39:08,514
- Where was that?
- 769
- 00:39:08,723 --> 00:39:11,100
- St. Ambrose in Dorchester.
- Okay.
- 770
- 00:39:12,268 --> 00:39:14,562
- She's the one who introduced
- me to Father Shanley.
- 771
- 00:39:16,188 --> 00:39:17,773
- He was a street priest.
- 772
- 00:39:18,274 --> 00:39:20,276
- Long hair. Very hip.
- 773
- 00:39:21,777 --> 00:39:23,738
- He invited me to his
- apartment in Back Bay.
- 774
- 00:39:23,904 --> 00:39:26,115
- Where in Back Bay?
- Beacon Street.
- 775
- 00:39:26,907 --> 00:39:27,992
- Beacon. Okay.
- 776
- 00:39:28,075 --> 00:39:29,118
- Are you from here?
- 777
- 00:39:30,036 --> 00:39:32,872
- Uh, no. I grew up in Ohio,
- but my mom's from Southie.
- 778
- 00:39:32,955 --> 00:39:36,250
- Okay, so you get it.
- I'd never even seen Back Bay.
- 779
- 00:39:38,044 --> 00:39:40,629
- So what happened
- on that first visit, Joe?
- 780
- 00:39:41,630 --> 00:39:43,716
- Well, he was very nice
- at first,
- 781
- 00:39:43,799 --> 00:39:45,468
- very funny, very casual.
- 782
- 00:39:46,802 --> 00:39:48,804
- And I think he could tell
- I was gay,
- 783
- 00:39:49,764 --> 00:39:53,434
- so he showed me this mobile he had,
- like, over a baby's crib?
- 784
- 00:39:53,517 --> 00:39:54,560
- Mmm-hmm.
- 785
- 00:39:54,643 --> 00:39:56,062
- But with different words.
- 786
- 00:39:56,645 --> 00:39:59,648
- "Homosexual,
- transsexual, bisexual."
- 787
- 00:39:59,732 --> 00:40:02,568
- Okay, and did you know you
- were gay at that time, Joe?
- 788
- 00:40:02,818 --> 00:40:04,570
- Yeah.
- 789
- 00:40:04,653 --> 00:40:06,614
- But that wasn't information
- I was sharing with anybody.
- 790
- 00:40:06,781 --> 00:40:08,074
- Not in Dorchester.
- 791
- 00:40:09,325 --> 00:40:10,701
- Okay.
- 792
- 00:40:10,785 --> 00:40:13,746
- So, what happened after
- he showed you the mobile?
- 793
- 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,581
- Well, I was
- a little freaked out.
- 794
- 00:40:15,664 --> 00:40:16,791
- Mmm-hmm.
- 795
- 00:40:16,957 --> 00:40:18,334
- I think he could tell,
- 796
- 00:40:19,668 --> 00:40:22,838
- so he said, "You know what'll
- help is if we play strip poker."
- 797
- 00:40:24,799 --> 00:40:26,509
- Course I lost.
- 798
- 00:40:27,968 --> 00:40:29,845
- And, uh, things went on
- from there.
- 799
- 00:40:31,180 --> 00:40:33,182
- Can you tell me
- specifically what happened?
- 800
- 00:40:34,975 --> 00:40:36,602
- Specifically, he...
- 801
- 00:40:37,186 --> 00:40:38,854
- He molested me.
- 802
- 00:40:42,316 --> 00:40:45,986
- Joe, I think that the language is
- going to be so important here.
- 803
- 00:40:46,445 --> 00:40:49,657
- We can't sanitize this.
- Just saying "molest" isn't enough.
- 804
- 00:40:49,824 --> 00:40:52,618
- People need to know
- what actually happened.
- 805
- 00:40:55,871 --> 00:40:58,249
- We should probably get these to go.
- Right.
- 806
- 00:40:58,541 --> 00:41:01,877
- Geoghan shows up,
- and my mom, you know, she's...
- 807
- 00:41:02,044 --> 00:41:04,463
- She's thrilled.
- I mean...
- 808
- 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,882
- This was like God
- showing up, you know?
- 809
- 00:41:07,133 --> 00:41:08,467
- Sure. Right.
- 810
- 00:41:08,551 --> 00:41:09,760
- So what happened then?
- 811
- 00:41:12,888 --> 00:41:14,306
- You really want to
- hear this shit?
- 812
- 00:41:14,890 --> 00:41:16,559
- Yeah. Yeah, Patrick, I do.
- 813
- 00:41:25,025 --> 00:41:27,027
- He offers to take me
- to get ice cream.
- 814
- 00:41:27,403 --> 00:41:30,406
- And, you know, he's a priest.
- I'm a kid, so I go.
- 815
- 00:41:31,323 --> 00:41:34,577
- Sure.
- So we're driving home and he...
- 816
- 00:41:37,538 --> 00:41:39,373
- He starts patting my leg,
- 817
- 00:41:41,542 --> 00:41:43,919
- you know, then
- 818
- 00:41:44,420 --> 00:41:49,425
- his hand just slides right up,
- and he grabs my dick.
- 819
- 00:41:50,259 --> 00:41:54,722
- You know, I just froze up.
- I was fucking petrified, I couldn't move.
- 820
- 00:41:55,931 --> 00:41:57,933
- I didn't know what to do.
- I was just a little kid.
- 821
- 00:42:00,436 --> 00:42:01,437
- Yeah.
- 822
- 00:42:06,233 --> 00:42:08,444
- You know, I never even
- touched my ice cream.
- 823
- 00:42:08,861 --> 00:42:10,696
- It just melted down my arm.
- 824
- 00:42:17,620 --> 00:42:18,954
- Did you, um...
- 825
- 00:42:20,372 --> 00:42:21,874
- Did you see him again
- after that?
- 826
- 00:42:27,922 --> 00:42:29,089
- Yeah.
- 827
- 00:42:32,635 --> 00:42:35,137
- All right. That's good.
- Let's stop there for now.
- 828
- 00:42:36,305 --> 00:42:37,473
- Sure.
- 829
- 00:42:37,806 --> 00:42:40,768
- He said it was a way to make me
- more comfortable with my body.
- 830
- 00:42:40,851 --> 00:42:41,852
- Mmm.
- 831
- 00:42:42,311 --> 00:42:43,562
- So what happened
- after that?
- 832
- 00:42:44,438 --> 00:42:46,398
- Well, he took off his
- clothes, and he said,
- 833
- 00:42:46,482 --> 00:42:47,942
- "I've been so depressed,
- 834
- 00:42:48,025 --> 00:42:50,277
- "but maybe you can cheer me
- up and give me a blow job."
- 835
- 00:42:50,653 --> 00:42:52,154
- Classy guy.
- 836
- 00:42:54,323 --> 00:42:56,033
- And did you?
- Yeah.
- 837
- 00:42:57,368 --> 00:43:00,621
- I know what you must be thinking,
- like, why would I ever do that
- 838
- 00:43:00,704 --> 00:43:03,540
- to some creepy guy who's 30
- years older than me, but...
- 839
- 00:43:03,791 --> 00:43:06,794
- What you have to understand is that
- this is the first time in my life
- 840
- 00:43:06,877 --> 00:43:09,421
- that someone told me that it
- was okay to be gay. Mmm-hmm.
- 841
- 00:43:09,505 --> 00:43:11,507
- And it was a priest.
- Right.
- 842
- 00:43:12,841 --> 00:43:16,011
- So you had oral sex.
- Did you have intercourse?
- 843
- 00:43:17,137 --> 00:43:18,514
- Yes.
- 844
- 00:43:18,597 --> 00:43:20,182
- Not then, but later.
- 845
- 00:43:21,934 --> 00:43:24,019
- It really
- messed me up.
- 846
- 00:43:25,437 --> 00:43:28,148
- I'm sober now, but that...
- That was the beginning of it all.
- 847
- 00:43:31,068 --> 00:43:32,820
- It's very confusing,
- you know,
- 848
- 00:43:33,946 --> 00:43:36,240
- to be introduced to sex
- like that and then...
- 849
- 00:43:37,074 --> 00:43:39,076
- And then to be
- attracted to men, it's...
- 850
- 00:43:42,830 --> 00:43:44,873
- I'm sorry.
- I knew I was gonna do this.
- 851
- 00:43:44,957 --> 00:43:46,834
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- Don't be sorry.
- 852
- 00:43:46,917 --> 00:43:48,836
- It's okay, Joe.
- It's okay.
- 853
- 00:43:49,003 --> 00:43:50,963
- Of course there is a
- church right there.
- 854
- 00:43:51,588 --> 00:43:53,173
- And a playground.
- 855
- 00:43:53,924 --> 00:43:55,926
- Joe, did you ever
- try and tell anyone?
- 856
- 00:43:56,468 --> 00:43:58,304
- Like who? A priest?
- 857
- 00:43:59,722 --> 00:44:01,682
- Can I use your phone?
- 858
- 00:44:01,765 --> 00:44:03,267
- Yeah, sure.
- You know where it is.
- 859
- 00:44:04,476 --> 00:44:06,353
- You can use my name
- if you want.
- 860
- 00:44:07,313 --> 00:44:08,814
- Thanks, Patrick.
- 861
- 00:44:09,356 --> 00:44:11,775
- Don't thank me,
- just get these assholes, will you?
- 862
- 00:44:18,240 --> 00:44:20,242
- He's one of the lucky ones.
- 863
- 00:44:21,368 --> 00:44:23,454
- He's still alive.
- 864
- 00:44:31,253 --> 00:44:32,921
- Do you want
- a cup of tea, Sacha?
- 865
- 00:44:33,088 --> 00:44:34,840
- I'm okay, Nana. Thanks.
- Okay.
- 866
- 00:44:38,135 --> 00:44:39,845
- <i>Hello.</i>
- Hi, Joe, it's Sacha Pfeiffer.
- 867
- 00:44:40,012 --> 00:44:43,265
- <i>Hi, Sacha. How are you?</i>
- I'm good, thanks.
- 868
- 00:44:43,349 --> 00:44:46,185
- Listen, Joe, I just wanted
- to follow up on one thing.
- 869
- 00:44:46,643 --> 00:44:48,771
- You talked to Phil Saviano
- about all of this, right?
- 870
- 00:44:48,937 --> 00:44:51,565
- <i>Yeah, I did.
- I went to a couple of SNAP meetings.</i>
- 871
- 00:44:51,648 --> 00:44:54,485
- And did Phil ever suggest
- you do anything about it?
- 872
- 00:44:54,735 --> 00:44:55,819
- <i>No.</i>
- 873
- 00:44:55,903 --> 00:44:57,446
- <i>The meetings
- weren't really about that.</i>
- 874
- 00:44:57,613 --> 00:44:59,031
- <i>I mean, a couple of them
- had gone to a lawyer,</i>
- 875
- 00:44:59,114 --> 00:45:01,158
- <i>but I didn't think
- it was worth it.</i>
- 876
- 00:45:01,325 --> 00:45:02,451
- Why not?
- 877
- 00:45:02,618 --> 00:45:04,258
- <i>There were just so
- many forms to fill out.</i>
- 878
- 00:45:04,286 --> 00:45:05,704
- <i>It was overwhelming,
- you know.</i>
- 879
- 00:45:05,788 --> 00:45:08,123
- <i>And he said it could only get
- me a small settlement, so...</i>
- 880
- 00:45:08,290 --> 00:45:10,709
- Who, who said that?
- <i>The lawyer told me that.</i>
- 881
- 00:45:11,794 --> 00:45:14,171
- So you did go
- and see a lawyer?
- 882
- 00:45:15,130 --> 00:45:17,049
- <i>Yeah, but I didn't
- end up using him,</i>
- 883
- 00:45:17,132 --> 00:45:19,009
- <i>so I didn't think
- it was important.</i>
- 884
- 00:45:19,176 --> 00:45:21,261
- <i>I'm sorry. I'm not
- trying to hide anything.</i>
- 885
- 00:45:21,428 --> 00:45:23,013
- No, I know, Joe.
- 886
- 00:45:23,222 --> 00:45:25,224
- Do remember his name?
- The lawyer?
- 887
- 00:45:25,724 --> 00:45:28,310
- <i>No, but maybe Phil
- would know.</i>
- 888
- 00:45:28,519 --> 00:45:31,021
- <i>The guy was on TV a lot
- during the Porter case.</i>
- 889
- 00:45:31,313 --> 00:45:32,564
- <i>He was handsome.</i>
- 890
- 00:45:32,981 --> 00:45:34,358
- Was it Eric Macleish?
- 891
- 00:45:34,441 --> 00:45:36,318
- <i>Yeah, that's it. Macleish.</i>
- 892
- 00:45:36,944 --> 00:45:38,821
- <i>I thought
- he was very handsome.</i>
- 893
- 00:45:41,907 --> 00:45:43,450
- Hey.
- Hey.
- 894
- 00:45:43,534 --> 00:45:46,537
- I was just in the newsroom.
- Judge Sweeney set a date for the hearing.
- 895
- 00:45:47,287 --> 00:45:48,539
- Really? When?
- 896
- 00:45:48,664 --> 00:45:49,915
- Two weeks, in Springfield.
- 897
- 00:45:50,624 --> 00:45:52,626
- Canellos started a pool.
- Ten bucks to get in.
- 898
- 00:45:53,168 --> 00:45:54,968
- Anyone picking the <i>Globe?</i>
- 899
- 00:45:55,170 --> 00:45:57,589
- He's only taking bets on how
- fast Sweeney rules against us.
- 900
- 00:45:59,466 --> 00:46:01,051
- - Robby.
- <i>- Hi, it's me.</i>
- 901
- 00:46:01,218 --> 00:46:02,553
- <i>Did you get my message?</i>
- I did.
- 902
- 00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:04,888
- Looks like Father Shanley
- could be our fourth priest.
- 903
- 00:46:05,055 --> 00:46:06,390
- <i>Yeah, I think he is.</i>
- 904
- 00:46:06,557 --> 00:46:08,183
- Did you follow up
- with Macleish?
- 905
- 00:46:08,350 --> 00:46:09,435
- <i>I just talked to Phil.</i>
- 906
- 00:46:09,518 --> 00:46:11,645
- <i>He said Macleish dealt with
- a number of these cases.</i>
- 907
- 00:46:11,728 --> 00:46:14,273
- <i>Guess he forgot to mention that.</i>
- Yeah.
- 908
- 00:46:14,356 --> 00:46:15,774
- I'm gonna go to
- the courthouse tomorrow,
- 909
- 00:46:15,858 --> 00:46:18,777
- see if I can find any cases he
- settled against the Church.
- 910
- 00:46:18,861 --> 00:46:21,113
- <i>All right. Call me
- after you do. Good night.</i>
- 911
- 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:22,948
- Okay, good night.
- 912
- 00:46:25,617 --> 00:46:26,869
- Hey.
- 913
- 00:46:26,952 --> 00:46:28,287
- You wanted to chat?
- 914
- 00:46:28,454 --> 00:46:30,456
- Yeah, I'm late for a dinner.
- You wanna walk me out?
- 915
- 00:46:30,539 --> 00:46:31,915
- Sure.
- 916
- 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,209
- Jeez.
- 917
- 00:46:34,251 --> 00:46:36,628
- Does this guy ever go home?
- Apparently not.
- 918
- 00:46:36,712 --> 00:46:38,422
- I got guys who won't leave
- till he does.
- 919
- 00:46:38,547 --> 00:46:40,507
- He's wearing out the goddamn newsroom.
- 920
- 00:46:40,716 --> 00:46:42,092
- Where are we on Geoghan?
- 921
- 00:46:42,342 --> 00:46:44,178
- Following up
- on more victims.
- 922
- 00:46:44,720 --> 00:46:46,513
- Hey, I want to expand
- the investigation.
- 923
- 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,640
- Why?
- We got a fourth priest.
- 924
- 00:46:48,807 --> 00:46:50,642
- There might be
- as many as 13.
- 925
- 00:46:50,809 --> 00:46:52,311
- Thirteen?
- Yeah.
- 926
- 00:46:52,895 --> 00:46:54,897
- Who's your source?
- Phil Saviano.
- 927
- 00:46:55,439 --> 00:46:58,066
- Oh, Jesus Christ, Robby, I told Mike...
- I know, I know...
- 928
- 00:46:58,233 --> 00:47:00,486
- I think Saviano
- might be legit, Ben.
- 929
- 00:47:01,987 --> 00:47:03,363
- You wanna elaborate
- on that?
- 930
- 00:47:03,530 --> 00:47:05,365
- No. Not really.
- 931
- 00:47:06,074 --> 00:47:09,077
- It just feels like this thing's
- stacking up. It's my gut.
- 932
- 00:47:12,456 --> 00:47:14,458
- Okay.
- Okay. Good.
- 933
- 00:47:14,625 --> 00:47:15,626
- Thank you.
- 934
- 00:47:25,260 --> 00:47:26,553
- Hello?
- 935
- 00:47:26,637 --> 00:47:29,556
- <i>Mr. Rezendes?</i>
- Uh, yeah. Who's this?
- 936
- 00:47:29,723 --> 00:47:31,308
- <i>It's Richard Sipe.</i>
- 937
- 00:47:31,642 --> 00:47:34,603
- Oh, yeah. Hey, Richard, how are you?
- <i>I'm good.</i>
- 938
- 00:47:34,770 --> 00:47:36,605
- Uh, thanks
- for calling. Look...
- 939
- 00:47:36,772 --> 00:47:38,732
- Phil Saviano
- gave me your name.
- 940
- 00:47:38,899 --> 00:47:40,984
- I was wondering if I can
- ask you a few questions.
- 941
- 00:47:41,068 --> 00:47:43,070
- <i>Of course. Yeah.</i>
- Great.
- 942
- 00:47:43,237 --> 00:47:45,280
- So, Phil told me
- that you were working
- 943
- 00:47:45,364 --> 00:47:48,450
- at one of the Church's treatment
- centers in Baltimore?
- 944
- 00:47:48,742 --> 00:47:51,411
- <i>Yes. The Seton
- Psychiatric Institute.</i>
- 945
- 00:47:51,620 --> 00:47:53,330
- <i>It was run by
- the Daughters of Charity.</i>
- 946
- 00:47:53,497 --> 00:47:56,500
- And, uh,
- when was that, Richard?
- 947
- 00:47:57,125 --> 00:48:01,380
- <i>Well, I started my psychotherapy
- fellowship there in 1965,</i>
- 948
- 00:48:02,047 --> 00:48:03,247
- <i>and I was there
- for five years,</i>
- 949
- 00:48:03,298 --> 00:48:07,469
- <i>but I spent the next 30 studying
- abusive priests and their victims.</i>
- 950
- 00:48:07,636 --> 00:48:08,887
- Really?
- <i>Mmm-hmm.</i>
- 951
- 00:48:08,971 --> 00:48:11,056
- And that's been
- your sole focus?
- 952
- 00:48:11,848 --> 00:48:12,933
- <i>Look, Mike,</i>
- 953
- 00:48:13,016 --> 00:48:16,353
- <i>the Church wants us to believe
- that it's just a few bad apples.</i>
- 954
- 00:48:16,436 --> 00:48:18,036
- <i>But it's a much
- bigger problem than that.</i>
- 955
- 00:48:18,105 --> 00:48:19,731
- How much bigger, Richard?
- 956
- 00:48:19,898 --> 00:48:21,775
- <i>Well, based on the research,</i>
- 957
- 00:48:21,942 --> 00:48:25,445
- <i>I would classify it as a
- recognizable psychiatric phenomenon.</i>
- 958
- 00:48:26,655 --> 00:48:27,990
- That's big.
- 959
- 00:48:33,537 --> 00:48:34,913
- Hey, Mac.
- Hey.
- 960
- 00:48:34,997 --> 00:48:37,082
- If I wanted historical
- data on a priest,
- 961
- 00:48:37,165 --> 00:48:38,542
- parishes he'd been
- assigned to,
- 962
- 00:48:38,625 --> 00:48:39,793
- where would I find that?
- 963
- 00:48:39,876 --> 00:48:42,596
- The Geoghan case? It's all in the clips.
- Lisa has the source material.
- 964
- 00:48:42,629 --> 00:48:44,089
- Yeah, what if it was
- for another priest?
- 965
- 00:48:44,172 --> 00:48:45,591
- One that hadn't been
- in the papers.
- 966
- 00:48:45,674 --> 00:48:47,926
- You're looking at another priest?
- Who're you looking at?
- 967
- 00:48:48,844 --> 00:48:50,137
- Any ideas?
- 968
- 00:48:50,220 --> 00:48:52,060
- Oh, come on, Matt,
- you're not going to tell me?
- 969
- 00:48:53,056 --> 00:48:54,683
- I gotta get to a meeting.
- Thanks, Mac.
- 970
- 00:48:54,766 --> 00:48:56,101
- Hey, Steve.
- 971
- 00:48:57,436 --> 00:48:59,479
- The archdiocese puts
- out an annual directory.
- 972
- 00:48:59,646 --> 00:49:01,815
- Every priest and parish.
- That's great.
- 973
- 00:49:02,274 --> 00:49:04,484
- Do these go back
- any further than '98?
- 974
- 00:49:04,651 --> 00:49:06,445
- Oh, yeah. Going back to
- the '80s in the mez.
- 975
- 00:49:06,612 --> 00:49:08,405
- Beyond that you gotta
- go to the BPL.
- 976
- 00:49:08,488 --> 00:49:10,574
- In the mez, huh? Thanks, Lisa.
- You bet.
- 977
- 00:49:12,242 --> 00:49:14,828
- He said they all target
- the same kind of kid.
- 978
- 00:49:14,911 --> 00:49:18,415
- Low-income families,
- absentee fathers, broken homes.
- 979
- 00:49:18,498 --> 00:49:21,585
- So a guy like Geoghan goes after
- boys not because he prefers them,
- 980
- 00:49:21,752 --> 00:49:23,378
- but because they have
- more shame.
- 981
- 00:49:23,462 --> 00:49:24,546
- Less likely to talk.
- 982
- 00:49:26,131 --> 00:49:28,008
- These guys
- are predators, Robby.
- 983
- 00:49:28,091 --> 00:49:30,385
- And I talked to Sipe.
- He said he'd seen dozens of them
- 984
- 00:49:30,469 --> 00:49:31,845
- in the '60s in Seton.
- 985
- 00:49:32,387 --> 00:49:33,680
- He called it
- a "phenomenon."
- 986
- 00:49:33,764 --> 00:49:35,557
- Why didn't he go public?
- He did,
- 987
- 00:49:35,641 --> 00:49:37,643
- but the Church made a huge
- effort to discredit him.
- 988
- 00:49:37,809 --> 00:49:41,521
- Smear campaigns,
- public statements by prominent bishops.
- 989
- 00:49:41,605 --> 00:49:44,316
- It's just like Saviano said,
- and Garabedian.
- 990
- 00:49:44,483 --> 00:49:46,026
- You getting anywhere
- with him?
- 991
- 00:49:46,193 --> 00:49:48,570
- More victims.
- More victims.
- 992
- 00:49:48,737 --> 00:49:50,497
- You can't empty his pockets?
- I'll get to him.
- 993
- 00:49:50,614 --> 00:49:52,616
- I just need more time.
- Oh, come on, Mike.
- 994
- 00:49:52,824 --> 00:49:54,660
- You gotta get him.
- I'll get him, I'll get him.
- 995
- 00:49:58,288 --> 00:49:59,790
- Jesus. What the hell
- is that smell?
- 996
- 00:49:59,873 --> 00:50:01,708
- There's a dead rat
- in the corner.
- 997
- 00:50:02,501 --> 00:50:04,294
- What have you got?
- Church directories.
- 998
- 00:50:04,461 --> 00:50:06,505
- It's every priest
- in Massachusetts.
- 999
- 00:50:06,588 --> 00:50:08,173
- What parish
- they're assigned to.
- 1000
- 00:50:08,256 --> 00:50:09,257
- Are these official?
- Yeah.
- 1001
- 00:50:09,341 --> 00:50:10,425
- I figured it could
- help us track down
- 1002
- 00:50:10,509 --> 00:50:12,219
- some of the priests
- that Saviano mentioned.
- 1003
- 00:50:12,302 --> 00:50:13,512
- Maybe find
- some more victims.
- 1004
- 00:50:13,595 --> 00:50:15,764
- Can we turn on some more lights?
- I couldn't find the switch.
- 1005
- 00:50:15,889 --> 00:50:17,929
- You wanna borrow my glasses?
- No, I'm good. I'm good.
- 1006
- 00:50:17,974 --> 00:50:22,646
- Look, 1983. John Geoghan,
- St. Brendan Parish, Dorchester.
- 1007
- 00:50:22,729 --> 00:50:25,148
- So we can find out where any
- priest is in any given year?
- 1008
- 00:50:25,232 --> 00:50:27,484
- Yeah, I got him here at...
- 1009
- 00:50:27,943 --> 00:50:28,944
- Huh.
- 1010
- 00:50:29,486 --> 00:50:30,654
- What?
- 1011
- 00:50:30,737 --> 00:50:33,907
- 1980, the year Geoghan was pulled from JP.
- It says he's on sick leave.
- 1012
- 00:50:33,990 --> 00:50:35,742
- Come on.
- It really says that?
- 1013
- 00:50:36,993 --> 00:50:39,204
- Where is, uh, 1991?
- 1014
- 00:50:40,831 --> 00:50:42,499
- Here ya go.
- Let me see this.
- 1015
- 00:50:42,582 --> 00:50:43,834
- Barrett. Barrett. Liam.
- 1016
- 00:50:44,042 --> 00:50:46,420
- I can't read that.
- Look for a Liam Barrett in there.
- 1017
- 00:50:46,586 --> 00:50:49,339
- 1991's the year they pulled
- him out of Charlestown.
- 1018
- 00:50:51,842 --> 00:50:53,427
- Barrett, Liam.
- 1019
- 00:50:55,095 --> 00:50:56,346
- Yeah.
- "Sick leave."
- 1020
- 00:50:56,930 --> 00:50:58,682
- It's an official designation.
- 1021
- 00:51:00,392 --> 00:51:02,477
- Let's get these upstairs.
- 1022
- 00:51:02,561 --> 00:51:04,813
- And, Matt, check on those
- priests Saviano gave us.
- 1023
- 00:51:04,980 --> 00:51:07,149
- - Robby. Yeah.
- <i>- Hey, I'm down at the courthouse.</i>
- 1024
- 00:51:07,858 --> 00:51:10,777
- Something's not right here.
- Nothing on Shanley either, Sacha.
- 1025
- 00:51:10,986 --> 00:51:12,487
- Okay, thanks.
- 1026
- 00:51:12,654 --> 00:51:14,334
- Yeah, we need to go talk
- to Macleish again.
- 1027
- 00:51:14,489 --> 00:51:17,075
- <i>Really, why?</i>
- Huh? There's nothing here.
- 1028
- 00:51:17,617 --> 00:51:19,457
- There aren't any records,
- I checked every name.
- 1029
- 00:51:24,583 --> 00:51:26,623
- Thanks for waiting. So sorry, guys.
- Stuck on a call.
- 1030
- 00:51:26,710 --> 00:51:28,545
- Not a problem.
- How are you? Good.
- 1031
- 00:51:28,628 --> 00:51:30,508
- Thanks for meeting us.
- You bet. What's up, guys?
- 1032
- 00:51:31,506 --> 00:51:34,551
- Mr. Macleish, are you familiar
- with a priest named Paul Shanley?
- 1033
- 00:51:35,260 --> 00:51:36,845
- Yes, I am familiar
- with him.
- 1034
- 00:51:38,638 --> 00:51:40,640
- And have you settled cases
- against Father Shanley?
- 1035
- 00:51:41,975 --> 00:51:46,313
- As I'm sure you can understand,
- I can't discuss that with you.
- 1036
- 00:51:46,897 --> 00:51:50,442
- How about, uh,
- Father Ronald Paquin?
- 1037
- 00:51:51,109 --> 00:51:53,695
- Well, I can't discuss that with you either.
- Come on, guys.
- 1038
- 00:51:55,572 --> 00:51:58,116
- We understand you've settled several
- cases against each of them.
- 1039
- 00:51:58,784 --> 00:52:01,286
- Even if I'd been involved
- in those cases,
- 1040
- 00:52:01,369 --> 00:52:02,954
- the settlements
- would be confidential,
- 1041
- 00:52:03,121 --> 00:52:06,082
- and I could be disbarred for
- acknowledging their existence.
- 1042
- 00:52:06,958 --> 00:52:08,710
- Okay?
- Mmm-hmm.
- 1043
- 00:52:09,211 --> 00:52:11,046
- Look, I told you guys,
- these are tough cases.
- 1044
- 00:52:12,631 --> 00:52:15,717
- Most of these folks, they
- just want some acknowledgment
- 1045
- 00:52:16,301 --> 00:52:17,552
- of what happened.
- 1046
- 00:52:17,677 --> 00:52:20,013
- We got 'em a sit-down with the
- bishop and a little dough,
- 1047
- 00:52:20,180 --> 00:52:21,973
- and that's the best
- they could hope for.
- 1048
- 00:52:22,557 --> 00:52:26,353
- Well, it's certainly the best
- the priests could hope for.
- 1049
- 00:52:27,521 --> 00:52:30,398
- No, the Church promised they'd take
- the priests out of circulation.
- 1050
- 00:52:30,732 --> 00:52:32,901
- And did you follow up
- on that?
- 1051
- 00:52:38,240 --> 00:52:39,908
- Do you guys
- need anything else?
- 1052
- 00:52:40,075 --> 00:52:42,494
- Yes. Why aren't there
- any records?
- 1053
- 00:52:42,869 --> 00:52:43,995
- I was down at
- the courthouse earlier.
- 1054
- 00:52:44,079 --> 00:52:46,248
- There aren't any records
- of any of these settlements.
- 1055
- 00:52:49,459 --> 00:52:51,253
- We dealt directly
- with the Church.
- 1056
- 00:52:52,754 --> 00:52:56,258
- We would draw up a demand letter
- and send it to the chancery.
- 1057
- 00:52:57,717 --> 00:52:59,344
- You never filed
- anything in court?
- 1058
- 00:52:59,636 --> 00:53:01,221
- It's a private mediation.
- 1059
- 00:53:01,388 --> 00:53:06,101
- So, this is just you
- and the archdiocese's lawyers
- 1060
- 00:53:06,768 --> 00:53:07,894
- in a room?
- 1061
- 00:53:08,603 --> 00:53:09,604
- Correct.
- 1062
- 00:53:10,272 --> 00:53:11,273
- Anyone else?
- 1063
- 00:53:11,690 --> 00:53:14,776
- Occasionally, the Church would bring in
- another defense attorney to help out.
- 1064
- 00:53:15,527 --> 00:53:16,820
- You have names?
- 1065
- 00:53:16,945 --> 00:53:18,238
- Nope.
- 1066
- 00:53:19,030 --> 00:53:20,282
- No, I don't.
- 1067
- 00:53:21,366 --> 00:53:22,868
- So this was all
- under the table?
- 1068
- 00:53:22,951 --> 00:53:24,452
- There's no paper trail.
- At all.
- 1069
- 00:53:24,953 --> 00:53:26,955
- The victim has to sign
- a confidentiality agreement
- 1070
- 00:53:27,038 --> 00:53:28,164
- to get the settlement.
- 1071
- 00:53:28,248 --> 00:53:30,876
- The lawyer takes a third and the
- Church sweeps it under the rug.
- 1072
- 00:53:30,959 --> 00:53:32,544
- Jeez,
- it's a freakin' racket.
- 1073
- 00:53:32,627 --> 00:53:34,129
- It's more complicated
- than that.
- 1074
- 00:53:34,254 --> 00:53:37,090
- Macleish's got a duty to the client
- to get the best deal he can.
- 1075
- 00:53:37,257 --> 00:53:40,176
- Sure, but how many victims do
- you represent and profit from
- 1076
- 00:53:40,302 --> 00:53:41,386
- before you say something?
- 1077
- 00:53:41,469 --> 00:53:43,513
- Garabedian would say none.
- 1078
- 00:53:43,597 --> 00:53:45,473
- That's why he's taking
- these cases to court
- 1079
- 00:53:45,557 --> 00:53:47,267
- because he wants people
- to know about this.
- 1080
- 00:53:47,350 --> 00:53:50,061
- I agree.
- And legal ethics aside, Ben,
- 1081
- 00:53:50,228 --> 00:53:52,188
- I mean, operating
- the way Macleish has
- 1082
- 00:53:52,355 --> 00:53:54,566
- all but guarantees that the
- abuse stays under wraps.
- 1083
- 00:53:55,692 --> 00:53:58,695
- Yeah. Did Macleish confirm
- all Saviano's priests?
- 1084
- 00:53:58,987 --> 00:54:03,325
- No. He's limited by his
- confidentiality agreement.
- 1085
- 00:54:04,159 --> 00:54:06,578
- But clearly he's settled cases
- against a number of them.
- 1086
- 00:54:06,661 --> 00:54:08,330
- Phil's put me in touch with
- some of the other victims,
- 1087
- 00:54:08,413 --> 00:54:11,166
- I'm pretty confident all of his
- priests are gonna check out.
- 1088
- 00:54:12,167 --> 00:54:13,877
- So it is 13 priests?
- 1089
- 00:54:14,044 --> 00:54:15,712
- Yeah.
- Looks that way.
- 1090
- 00:54:17,255 --> 00:54:18,924
- Holy shit.
- 1091
- 00:54:21,301 --> 00:54:23,136
- Okay. Keep going.
- 1092
- 00:54:27,015 --> 00:54:28,850
- I'm sorry.
- What was the name again?
- 1093
- 00:54:29,601 --> 00:54:32,729
- Uh, Baron.
- 1094
- 00:54:32,854 --> 00:54:34,814
- B-A-R-O-N.
- 1095
- 00:54:35,899 --> 00:54:38,902
- I'm having trouble finding it.
- Just give me a second.
- 1096
- 00:54:38,985 --> 00:54:41,321
- It's okay, Kim,
- I can vouch for him.
- 1097
- 00:54:41,404 --> 00:54:44,157
- I'm Pete Conley, I'm on the
- board of Catholic Charities.
- 1098
- 00:54:44,240 --> 00:54:45,909
- Welcome to Boston,
- Mr. Baron.
- 1099
- 00:54:46,534 --> 00:54:48,703
- Thank you.
- I appreciate you joining us.
- 1100
- 00:54:49,371 --> 00:54:51,623
- We're very proud of the
- work we do here at Boston.
- 1101
- 00:54:52,415 --> 00:54:54,292
- Oh, the Cardinal said
- you had a nice visit.
- 1102
- 00:54:55,251 --> 00:54:56,544
- Yes, we did.
- 1103
- 00:54:56,628 --> 00:54:59,798
- He's an extraordinary man.
- I'm glad you had a chance to chat.
- 1104
- 00:55:13,853 --> 00:55:14,896
- Enjoying yourself?
- 1105
- 00:55:17,023 --> 00:55:20,694
- Uh, to be honest, these events
- aren't really my strong suit.
- 1106
- 00:55:21,319 --> 00:55:23,780
- Yeah. Are you involved
- with the charity?
- 1107
- 00:55:23,863 --> 00:55:26,032
- Not directly, no.
- Several of my friends are.
- 1108
- 00:55:26,199 --> 00:55:28,743
- We all went to high school.
- BC High.
- 1109
- 00:55:28,910 --> 00:55:31,496
- That's the school across
- the street from the <i>Globe.</i>
- 1110
- 00:55:31,871 --> 00:55:33,373
- It's hard to miss.
- Yeah.
- 1111
- 00:55:34,582 --> 00:55:36,251
- Hard to get away from,
- too, apparently.
- 1112
- 00:55:38,628 --> 00:55:43,216
- The Cardinal's in the corner
- if you're so inclined.
- 1113
- 00:55:43,675 --> 00:55:45,343
- We've met.
- Really?
- 1114
- 00:55:46,219 --> 00:55:47,887
- Did he mention the suit?
- 1115
- 00:55:47,971 --> 00:55:50,682
- No, but he did give me a
- copy of the catechism.
- 1116
- 00:55:51,057 --> 00:55:54,728
- Yeah, well, the Cardinal's
- not known for his subtlety.
- 1117
- 00:55:54,811 --> 00:55:56,312
- During the Porter investigation,
- 1118
- 00:55:56,479 --> 00:55:59,315
- he'd literally called down the
- power of God on the <i>Globe.</i>
- 1119
- 00:56:00,233 --> 00:56:01,568
- How'd that play out?
- 1120
- 00:56:02,736 --> 00:56:05,572
- A week later our editor
- broke his leg skiing.
- 1121
- 00:56:06,906 --> 00:56:08,324
- Shrimp toast,
- gentlemen?
- 1122
- 00:56:09,159 --> 00:56:10,952
- No, thanks.
- No.
- 1123
- 00:56:12,454 --> 00:56:16,166
- You said one of the victims
- filed a criminal complaint?
- 1124
- 00:56:16,249 --> 00:56:17,751
- Yeah, there were
- a few of them.
- 1125
- 00:56:19,294 --> 00:56:21,087
- But the judge had
- the case records sealed
- 1126
- 00:56:21,171 --> 00:56:23,048
- after friends of
- the Church complained.
- 1127
- 00:56:23,381 --> 00:56:25,091
- And the Church has
- a lot of friends.
- 1128
- 00:56:25,216 --> 00:56:26,509
- Like Eric Macleish?
- 1129
- 00:56:28,053 --> 00:56:29,387
- Yeah.
- 1130
- 00:56:29,471 --> 00:56:32,557
- Let's just say he's not
- part of the solution.
- 1131
- 00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:34,601
- You follow what I'm saying?
- Sure.
- 1132
- 00:56:35,310 --> 00:56:36,728
- You work hard,
- Mr. Rezendes.
- 1133
- 00:56:36,811 --> 00:56:39,731
- Are you married?
- Yeah.
- 1134
- 00:56:39,814 --> 00:56:41,399
- Your wife doesn't mind you
- working all the time?
- 1135
- 00:56:41,483 --> 00:56:42,984
- Oh, yeah, she does.
- 1136
- 00:56:45,361 --> 00:56:48,198
- That's why I never got married.
- I'm too busy.
- 1137
- 00:56:48,907 --> 00:56:50,492
- What I do
- is too important.
- 1138
- 00:56:51,284 --> 00:56:52,494
- Hmm.
- 1139
- 00:56:54,996 --> 00:56:56,316
- Your new editor,
- he's a Jew right?
- 1140
- 00:56:57,832 --> 00:56:59,834
- Oh, that's right, yeah.
- Yeah, see,
- 1141
- 00:57:00,502 --> 00:57:03,838
- he comes in and suddenly everybody's
- interested in the Church.
- 1142
- 00:57:03,963 --> 00:57:05,006
- You know why?
- 1143
- 00:57:06,007 --> 00:57:08,843
- Because it takes
- an outsider, like me.
- 1144
- 00:57:09,511 --> 00:57:11,137
- I'm Armenian.
- 1145
- 00:57:11,304 --> 00:57:13,139
- How many Armenians
- do you know in Boston?
- 1146
- 00:57:14,516 --> 00:57:16,309
- Steve Kurkjian,
- works at the <i>Globe.</i>
- 1147
- 00:57:17,227 --> 00:57:20,146
- Oh, that's two.
- You should get a prize or something.
- 1148
- 00:57:21,022 --> 00:57:23,233
- What are you, Italian?
- No, I'm Portuguese.
- 1149
- 00:57:24,567 --> 00:57:26,820
- From where?
- East Boston.
- 1150
- 00:57:28,738 --> 00:57:30,657
- Really? East Boston?
- 1151
- 00:57:32,617 --> 00:57:34,035
- You don't sound like it.
- 1152
- 00:57:40,458 --> 00:57:43,044
- This city, these people,
- 1153
- 00:57:45,046 --> 00:57:47,132
- making the rest of us
- feel like we don't belong.
- 1154
- 00:57:47,882 --> 00:57:49,175
- But they're no better
- than us.
- 1155
- 00:57:50,176 --> 00:57:52,011
- Look at how they treat
- their children.
- 1156
- 00:57:54,305 --> 00:57:56,224
- Mark my words,
- Mr. Rezendes,
- 1157
- 00:57:56,307 --> 00:57:58,476
- if it takes a village
- to raise a child,
- 1158
- 00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:00,061
- it takes a village
- to abuse one.
- 1159
- 00:58:04,732 --> 00:58:07,735
- Hey, here he is. Want a beer?
- Love one.
- 1160
- 00:58:08,736 --> 00:58:10,989
- Another.
- You here with Barbara?
- 1161
- 00:58:11,156 --> 00:58:14,242
- No, she hates these things.
- Karen, too.
- 1162
- 00:58:14,492 --> 00:58:15,743
- Yeah.
- Smart ladies.
- 1163
- 00:58:16,202 --> 00:58:17,829
- <i>Sláinte.</i>
- 1164
- 00:58:18,872 --> 00:58:19,873
- Mmm.
- 1165
- 00:58:20,206 --> 00:58:21,541
- I met your new editor.
- 1166
- 00:58:22,458 --> 00:58:24,794
- Seemed like a decent fellow.
- I think he is.
- 1167
- 00:58:27,172 --> 00:58:31,176
- Hey, I had an interesting conversation
- with Eric Macleish the other day.
- 1168
- 00:58:32,051 --> 00:58:36,723
- Turns out he's been settling abuse
- cases with the archdiocese for years.
- 1169
- 00:58:37,390 --> 00:58:40,059
- You really wanna
- talk about this here?
- 1170
- 00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:45,565
- Jim, you said you helped out
- on Father Barrett as a favor.
- 1171
- 00:58:46,524 --> 00:58:48,026
- That was a one-off?
- 1172
- 00:58:51,529 --> 00:58:53,698
- How many of these cases
- have you been involved with?
- 1173
- 00:58:55,074 --> 00:58:57,702
- You know I can't answer that, Robby.
- It's unethical.
- 1174
- 00:58:59,162 --> 00:59:00,622
- Is that all it is?
- 1175
- 00:59:03,082 --> 00:59:07,212
- So, this would be
- the Robby Robinson
- 1176
- 00:59:07,295 --> 00:59:09,130
- I've always heard about
- but never met.
- 1177
- 00:59:11,341 --> 00:59:12,759
- Listen to me, Jimmy.
- 1178
- 00:59:13,509 --> 00:59:15,553
- You wanna be on
- the right side of this.
- 1179
- 00:59:17,805 --> 00:59:20,600
- This is the Church
- you're talking about, Robby.
- 1180
- 00:59:20,683 --> 00:59:22,352
- Look around.
- These are good people,
- 1181
- 00:59:22,435 --> 00:59:24,270
- done a lot of good
- for this city.
- 1182
- 00:59:26,022 --> 00:59:27,774
- Enjoy the party.
- 1183
- 00:59:36,574 --> 00:59:38,826
- I've been through
- a lot of these now.
- 1184
- 00:59:38,910 --> 00:59:40,370
- "Sick leave" isn't the
- only designation they use
- 1185
- 00:59:40,453 --> 00:59:42,330
- when they take one of these
- priests out of circulation.
- 1186
- 00:59:42,413 --> 00:59:44,916
- They use a slew of terms.
- "Absent on leave,"
- 1187
- 00:59:45,041 --> 00:59:47,460
- "unassigned,"
- "emergency response."
- 1188
- 00:59:47,543 --> 00:59:50,023
- They got a word for everything, these guys.
- Hmm. Except "rape."
- 1189
- 00:59:50,588 --> 00:59:53,049
- And they move parishes way more
- frequently than other priests.
- 1190
- 00:59:53,132 --> 00:59:54,467
- When I was a kid,
- a priest moved
- 1191
- 00:59:54,550 --> 00:59:56,219
- after seven or eight years,
- sometimes longer.
- 1192
- 00:59:56,302 --> 00:59:58,596
- These guys, it's two
- to three years tops.
- 1193
- 00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:01,015
- And did they use these designations
- for all of Saviano's priests?
- 1194
- 01:00:01,099 --> 01:00:03,226
- Yeah, it's a pretty
- clear pattern.
- 1195
- 01:00:03,309 --> 01:00:04,852
- Guys, I got Sipe.
- 1196
- 01:00:05,395 --> 01:00:08,314
- <i>I think if you really
- want to understand the crisis,</i>
- 1197
- 01:00:08,481 --> 01:00:10,817
- <i>you need to start with
- the celibacy requirement.</i>
- 1198
- 01:00:11,025 --> 01:00:12,777
- <i>That was my first
- major finding.</i>
- 1199
- 01:00:13,194 --> 01:00:15,780
- <i>Only 50% of the clergy
- are celibate.</i>
- 1200
- 01:00:16,948 --> 01:00:19,867
- <i>Now, most of them are having
- sex with other adults.</i>
- 1201
- 01:00:20,410 --> 01:00:23,121
- <i>But the fact remains that this
- creates a culture of secrecy</i>
- 1202
- 01:00:23,204 --> 01:00:26,207
- <i>that tolerates and
- even protects pedophiles.</i>
- 1203
- 01:00:27,542 --> 01:00:31,296
- So you believe the Church is aware
- of the extent of this crisis?
- 1204
- 01:00:31,462 --> 01:00:34,757
- <i>Oh, absolutely. After the first
- major scandal in Louisiana,</i>
- 1205
- 01:00:34,924 --> 01:00:38,052
- <i>Tom Doyle, the secretary-canonist
- for the papal nuncio,</i>
- 1206
- 01:00:38,219 --> 01:00:40,972
- <i>co-authored a report
- warning pedophile priests</i>
- 1207
- 01:00:41,055 --> 01:00:43,224
- <i>were a
- billion-dollar liability.</i>
- 1208
- 01:00:43,474 --> 01:00:45,018
- <i>That was in 1985.</i>
- 1209
- 01:00:45,184 --> 01:00:47,353
- 1985?
- <i>That's right.</i>
- 1210
- 01:00:48,438 --> 01:00:50,940
- Who saw that report?
- Anyone from the Catholic hierarchy?
- 1211
- 01:00:51,316 --> 01:00:52,525
- <i>Sure.</i>
- 1212
- 01:00:52,608 --> 01:00:54,235
- <i>Doyle tried to introduce
- the report at</i>
- 1213
- 01:00:54,319 --> 01:00:56,571
- <i>the National Conference
- of Catholic Bishops.</i>
- 1214
- 01:00:57,071 --> 01:01:00,575
- <i>In fact, Cardinal Law initially
- helped to fund the report.</i>
- 1215
- 01:01:00,742 --> 01:01:02,785
- <i>But then he backed out,
- and they shelved it.</i>
- 1216
- 01:01:02,910 --> 01:01:03,953
- Are you kidding me?
- 1217
- 01:01:04,037 --> 01:01:06,289
- Richard, Robby here.
- 1218
- 01:01:06,664 --> 01:01:11,085
- We think we have 13 priests in
- Boston that fit this pattern,
- 1219
- 01:01:11,252 --> 01:01:14,922
- which would be
- a very, very big story.
- 1220
- 01:01:15,089 --> 01:01:18,092
- Does that sound right to you
- in terms of scale?
- 1221
- 01:01:19,052 --> 01:01:21,763
- <i>No, not really, Robby.
- It sounds low to me.</i>
- 1222
- 01:01:22,805 --> 01:01:26,309
- <i>My estimates suggest 6% act
- out sexually with minors.</i>
- 1223
- 01:01:27,602 --> 01:01:29,187
- Uh, 6% of what?
- 1224
- 01:01:29,854 --> 01:01:32,106
- <i>6% of all priests.</i>
- 1225
- 01:01:32,190 --> 01:01:33,775
- How many priests
- do we have in Boston?
- 1226
- 01:01:33,858 --> 01:01:35,818
- About 1,500.
- 1% is 15.
- 1227
- 01:01:35,985 --> 01:01:38,363
- 6% is
- 1228
- 01:01:38,446 --> 01:01:39,655
- 90.
- 1229
- 01:01:40,615 --> 01:01:44,202
- All right, 90 priests.
- Is that possible?
- 1230
- 01:01:44,786 --> 01:01:46,954
- <i>From a metric standpoint,</i>
- 1231
- 01:01:47,121 --> 01:01:50,958
- <i>yes, that would certainly be
- in line with my findings.</i>
- 1232
- 01:01:57,215 --> 01:01:58,216
- <i>Hello?</i>
- 1233
- 01:01:58,299 --> 01:01:59,384
- Uh...
- 1234
- 01:02:00,885 --> 01:02:02,970
- Ninety fucking priests?
- In Boston?
- 1235
- 01:02:03,471 --> 01:02:04,806
- That's what he said.
- 1236
- 01:02:06,057 --> 01:02:08,309
- If there were 90 of these bastards,
- people would know.
- 1237
- 01:02:08,559 --> 01:02:09,936
- Maybe they do.
- 1238
- 01:02:10,019 --> 01:02:11,479
- And no one said a thing?
- 1239
- 01:02:12,188 --> 01:02:13,189
- Good Germans?
- 1240
- 01:02:14,357 --> 01:02:16,797
- I don't think that's a comparison
- you want to make publically.
- 1241
- 01:02:17,026 --> 01:02:19,529
- Macleish knew.
- He just didn't say anything.
- 1242
- 01:02:19,946 --> 01:02:21,489
- That's 13 priests.
- 1243
- 01:02:21,572 --> 01:02:23,533
- There's a big difference
- between 13 and 90.
- 1244
- 01:02:23,699 --> 01:02:25,339
- Where's this guy Sipe
- getting his numbers?
- 1245
- 01:02:25,493 --> 01:02:27,370
- Well, he's been studying
- it for 30 years.
- 1246
- 01:02:27,453 --> 01:02:28,996
- He is a trained
- psychotherapist.
- 1247
- 01:02:29,163 --> 01:02:31,999
- Okay, but we need something
- more than a metric
- 1248
- 01:02:32,166 --> 01:02:34,377
- from some hippy ex-priest
- who's shacking up with a nun.
- 1249
- 01:02:34,669 --> 01:02:37,880
- Okay, so we'll track down more victims.
- We'll get more priests.
- 1250
- 01:02:37,964 --> 01:02:40,508
- Then we can check them
- against the directories.
- 1251
- 01:02:40,591 --> 01:02:41,968
- That's a shitload
- of victims.
- 1252
- 01:02:42,051 --> 01:02:43,594
- We'll get there.
- 1253
- 01:02:43,678 --> 01:02:44,762
- How long's it gonna take?
- 1254
- 01:02:46,222 --> 01:02:47,348
- Too long.
- 1255
- 01:02:49,016 --> 01:02:50,226
- Wait, but...
- Meeting's over?
- 1256
- 01:02:50,351 --> 01:02:51,561
- Yeah, for now.
- 1257
- 01:02:54,063 --> 01:02:56,399
- Look, what've you got?
- What if we work backwards?
- 1258
- 01:02:57,191 --> 01:02:59,151
- What do you mean? From what?
- From the directories.
- 1259
- 01:02:59,193 --> 01:03:01,028
- We've been using them
- to confirm bad priests.
- 1260
- 01:03:01,195 --> 01:03:02,447
- What if we do it
- the other way around?
- 1261
- 01:03:02,530 --> 01:03:04,850
- Use the directories to identify
- bad priests. Yeah, exactly.
- 1262
- 01:03:04,949 --> 01:03:06,409
- We search by designation.
- 1263
- 01:03:06,576 --> 01:03:09,370
- We look for any priest on
- "sick leave" or "unassigned."
- 1264
- 01:03:09,454 --> 01:03:11,622
- Or have been moved around a lot.
- Yeah.
- 1265
- 01:03:11,706 --> 01:03:13,207
- It's gonna take
- a load of work.
- 1266
- 01:03:13,291 --> 01:03:15,293
- Well, not if we're
- all on it.
- 1267
- 01:03:15,376 --> 01:03:16,544
- You, too?
- 1268
- 01:03:16,586 --> 01:03:19,422
- Generally that's what "all" means. Yeah.
- Yeah, generally.
- 1269
- 01:04:13,476 --> 01:04:15,478
- Library is closing.
- 1270
- 01:04:18,231 --> 01:04:20,233
- Library is closing.
- 1271
- 01:04:29,492 --> 01:04:30,785
- Holy shit.
- 1272
- 01:05:18,374 --> 01:05:20,376
- No freakin' way.
- 1273
- 01:05:29,218 --> 01:05:30,261
- - Talbot.
- - Yeah.
- 1274
- 01:05:30,344 --> 01:05:31,345
- - Tivnan.
- - Yeah.
- 1275
- 01:05:31,846 --> 01:05:32,930
- Toma.
- Yeah.
- 1276
- 01:05:33,014 --> 01:05:34,348
- Turnbull.
- Yeah.
- 1277
- 01:05:34,432 --> 01:05:35,600
- Walsh.
- Yeah.
- 1278
- 01:05:35,683 --> 01:05:36,892
- Welsh.
- Yeah.
- 1279
- 01:05:36,976 --> 01:05:38,436
- That's it.
- That's it.
- 1280
- 01:05:38,519 --> 01:05:39,937
- Holy shit.
- Robby?
- 1281
- 01:05:40,021 --> 01:05:42,398
- That's three off Sipe's estimate.
- That's incredible.
- 1282
- 01:05:42,481 --> 01:05:43,691
- Robby?
- 1283
- 01:05:43,774 --> 01:05:44,942
- How many?
- Eighty-seven.
- 1284
- 01:05:45,026 --> 01:05:47,028
- Eighty-seven priests
- in Boston.
- 1285
- 01:05:49,697 --> 01:05:52,533
- Call Macleish. I wanna talk to him.
- Okay.
- 1286
- 01:05:53,367 --> 01:05:56,162
- Can you print it?
- Sure can.
- 1287
- 01:05:58,789 --> 01:06:00,249
- <i>Jim Sullivan's office.</i>
- 1288
- 01:06:00,333 --> 01:06:02,543
- Yeah, Walter Robinson
- for Jim Sullivan.
- 1289
- 01:06:02,627 --> 01:06:04,295
- Tell him it's important,
- please.
- 1290
- 01:06:04,462 --> 01:06:06,047
- <i>One moment, please.</i>
- 1291
- 01:06:10,843 --> 01:06:12,303
- <i>Hey, Robby.
- Everything okay?</i>
- 1292
- 01:06:12,470 --> 01:06:14,388
- I need you
- to tell me something, Jim.
- 1293
- 01:06:14,722 --> 01:06:16,390
- Could it be 90 priests?
- 1294
- 01:06:16,974 --> 01:06:19,143
- <i>What?</i>
- Could it be as high as 90?
- 1295
- 01:06:19,810 --> 01:06:21,228
- <i>Jesus, Robby.</i>
- 1296
- 01:06:21,354 --> 01:06:24,857
- I need to know, Jim. I wouldn't
- be asking if it wasn't important.
- 1297
- 01:06:26,901 --> 01:06:28,653
- <i>You gotta stop this, Robby.</i>
- 1298
- 01:06:36,744 --> 01:06:39,914
- Robby, Macleish's assistant said
- he's all booked up, he can't see us.
- 1299
- 01:06:40,831 --> 01:06:42,833
- Yeah. Well, the hell
- he can't.
- 1300
- 01:06:48,422 --> 01:06:50,424
- All right.
- That'll be fun.
- 1301
- 01:06:54,261 --> 01:06:55,805
- You know what,
- I'll catch up with you, okay?
- 1302
- 01:06:55,888 --> 01:06:57,264
- We're good.
- 1303
- 01:06:57,431 --> 01:06:59,600
- Hey, guys,
- I'm really sorry, I am,
- 1304
- 01:06:59,684 --> 01:07:00,851
- but I don't have any time
- to talk right now,
- 1305
- 01:07:00,935 --> 01:07:02,144
- but if you call
- my assistant...
- 1306
- 01:07:02,228 --> 01:07:03,396
- Mr. Macleish,
- we have reason to believe
- 1307
- 01:07:03,479 --> 01:07:06,119
- that there are allegations against
- as many as 87 priests in Boston.
- 1308
- 01:07:07,108 --> 01:07:08,567
- I can't talk to you
- about that.
- 1309
- 01:07:08,609 --> 01:07:10,569
- Does that number sound right to you?
- You gotta be kidding me.
- 1310
- 01:07:10,653 --> 01:07:12,530
- I just told you I don't have
- time for this crap right now.
- 1311
- 01:07:12,613 --> 01:07:14,782
- Eric. How many priests
- did you settle?
- 1312
- 01:07:16,242 --> 01:07:17,451
- Robby, you know
- I can't tell you that.
- 1313
- 01:07:17,660 --> 01:07:20,830
- You're gonna give me the names
- and the names of their victims.
- 1314
- 01:07:22,957 --> 01:07:24,125
- Are you threatening me?
- 1315
- 01:07:24,625 --> 01:07:26,502
- We've got two stories here.
- 1316
- 01:07:26,585 --> 01:07:28,504
- We've got a story
- about degenerate clergy,
- 1317
- 01:07:28,671 --> 01:07:30,548
- and we've got a story
- about a bunch of lawyers
- 1318
- 01:07:30,631 --> 01:07:33,092
- turning child abuse
- into a cottage industry.
- 1319
- 01:07:33,676 --> 01:07:36,053
- Now, which story
- do you want us to write?
- 1320
- 01:07:36,137 --> 01:07:37,805
- 'Cause we're writing
- one of them.
- 1321
- 01:07:41,475 --> 01:07:43,978
- I already sent you
- a list of names.
- 1322
- 01:07:45,312 --> 01:07:46,939
- What're you talking about?
- To whom?
- 1323
- 01:07:47,189 --> 01:07:49,859
- The <i>Globe</i>. Years ago.
- 1324
- 01:07:49,942 --> 01:07:51,902
- After the Porter case.
- I got plenty of calls.
- 1325
- 01:07:51,986 --> 01:07:54,321
- I had 20 priests
- in Boston alone,
- 1326
- 01:07:54,405 --> 01:07:56,245
- but I couldn't go after them
- without the press.
- 1327
- 01:07:56,490 --> 01:08:00,953
- So I sent you guys a list of names,
- and you buried it.
- 1328
- 01:08:03,164 --> 01:08:04,540
- I want those names tomorrow.
- 1329
- 01:08:04,790 --> 01:08:06,834
- Check your
- goddamn clips, Robby.
- 1330
- 01:08:09,128 --> 01:08:10,671
- We didn't find
- anything in the clips.
- 1331
- 01:08:10,838 --> 01:08:12,673
- Yeah. Big surprise.
- 1332
- 01:08:14,133 --> 01:08:17,344
- Richard, do you still
- go to mass?
- 1333
- 01:08:17,970 --> 01:08:20,556
- <i>No. No, I haven't been
- to church for some time now.</i>
- 1334
- 01:08:20,848 --> 01:08:23,142
- <i>But I still
- consider myself a Catholic.</i>
- 1335
- 01:08:23,476 --> 01:08:24,852
- How does that work?
- 1336
- 01:08:25,186 --> 01:08:27,730
- <i>Well, the church
- is an institution, Mike.</i>
- 1337
- 01:08:28,147 --> 01:08:29,648
- <i>Made of men.</i>
- 1338
- 01:08:29,732 --> 01:08:32,860
- <i>It's passing.
- My faith is in the eternal.</i>
- 1339
- 01:08:33,861 --> 01:08:35,529
- <i>I try to separate the two.</i>
- 1340
- 01:08:36,322 --> 01:08:38,699
- Sounds tricky.
- <i>It is.</i>
- 1341
- 01:08:38,908 --> 01:08:41,577
- <i>Especially since the Church
- continues to go after me.</i>
- 1342
- 01:08:42,161 --> 01:08:43,662
- <i>It takes a toll, Mike.</i>
- 1343
- 01:08:44,205 --> 01:08:45,965
- <i>They'll try to silence
- anyone who speaks out.</i>
- 1344
- 01:08:45,998 --> 01:08:48,375
- <i>I'm sure they'll come after you
- and your team soon enough.</i>
- 1345
- 01:08:48,667 --> 01:08:50,878
- Really? And how do you think
- they'll do that?
- 1346
- 01:08:54,715 --> 01:08:56,342
- Hello?
- 1347
- 01:08:56,509 --> 01:08:57,510
- Richard?
- 1348
- 01:09:04,058 --> 01:09:05,226
- Who is it?
- 1349
- 01:09:05,309 --> 01:09:07,311
- It's the archbishop
- of Canterbury.
- 1350
- 01:09:11,065 --> 01:09:12,945
- I had dinner at Santarpio's,
- had some leftovers.
- 1351
- 01:09:13,067 --> 01:09:16,529
- Ah, you're the freakin' best.
- Thanks. You want a beer?
- 1352
- 01:09:17,238 --> 01:09:19,615
- Yeah.
- You got it.
- 1353
- 01:09:19,782 --> 01:09:21,242
- Jesus.
- 1354
- 01:09:21,700 --> 01:09:23,202
- How much longer you gonna be
- in this shithole?
- 1355
- 01:09:23,285 --> 01:09:24,912
- Yeah. I'm working on it.
- 1356
- 01:09:25,746 --> 01:09:27,081
- She's a good girl, Mike.
- 1357
- 01:09:27,248 --> 01:09:30,334
- Yeah, she is.
- We'll figure it out.
- 1358
- 01:09:30,417 --> 01:09:32,962
- I haven't had
- a lot of time lately.
- 1359
- 01:09:33,045 --> 01:09:34,805
- I just got off the phone
- with Sipe, actually.
- 1360
- 01:09:35,548 --> 01:09:37,174
- Have you met this guy
- in person yet?
- 1361
- 01:09:37,716 --> 01:09:41,053
- No, but his knowledge of this
- is on a whole other level.
- 1362
- 01:09:41,136 --> 01:09:42,304
- I'm freaking starving.
- 1363
- 01:09:44,807 --> 01:09:46,600
- So, where are we
- with the 90?
- 1364
- 01:09:47,434 --> 01:09:49,478
- We're close.
- How close?
- 1365
- 01:09:49,603 --> 01:09:52,106
- We're close.
- Just answer the question, will you?
- 1366
- 01:09:55,442 --> 01:09:57,570
- We got 87 names.
- 1367
- 01:09:57,653 --> 01:09:59,613
- We're trying to get confirmation.
- I think we will.
- 1368
- 01:10:02,408 --> 01:10:03,826
- Something bugging you?
- 1369
- 01:10:04,451 --> 01:10:05,995
- It's just surprising,
- that's all.
- 1370
- 01:10:07,121 --> 01:10:10,499
- Yeah. Yeah, it is.
- For everybody.
- 1371
- 01:10:15,963 --> 01:10:18,507
- Oh, hey, Ben.
- I forgot to ask you.
- 1372
- 01:10:19,008 --> 01:10:22,219
- Phil Saviano said he sent a bunch of
- info over to the <i>Globe</i> years ago.
- 1373
- 01:10:22,303 --> 01:10:23,804
- Do you have any idea to who?
- 1374
- 01:10:24,305 --> 01:10:25,556
- No, why?
- 1375
- 01:10:25,639 --> 01:10:27,159
- Well, I'm just curious.
- I wanted to see
- 1376
- 01:10:27,308 --> 01:10:29,068
- if there's any leads
- you guys didn't run out.
- 1377
- 01:10:29,476 --> 01:10:31,687
- Saviano was a fucking train
- wreck five years ago, Mike.
- 1378
- 01:10:31,770 --> 01:10:33,105
- We didn't miss anything.
- 1379
- 01:10:33,188 --> 01:10:34,857
- This story needed Spotlight.
- 1380
- 01:10:36,317 --> 01:10:38,319
- Yeah, I agree.
- I'm just following up.
- 1381
- 01:10:41,322 --> 01:10:42,990
- Good night.
- Yeah, good night.
- 1382
- 01:10:47,828 --> 01:10:49,038
- This is unbelievable.
- 1383
- 01:10:49,121 --> 01:10:50,289
- When did you get this?
- 1384
- 01:10:50,497 --> 01:10:52,499
- Macleish emailed
- the list this morning.
- 1385
- 01:10:52,625 --> 01:10:55,210
- He settled cases
- against 45 priests.
- 1386
- 01:10:56,003 --> 01:10:57,755
- Where are we on Law?
- 1387
- 01:10:57,838 --> 01:10:59,757
- Anything that shows he
- had knowledge of this?
- 1388
- 01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:02,134
- We're still working Garabedian.
- But nothing concrete.
- 1389
- 01:11:02,468 --> 01:11:04,762
- I keep thinking about that
- conversation we had the other night
- 1390
- 01:11:04,845 --> 01:11:07,222
- about how Law called
- down the power of God
- 1391
- 01:11:07,306 --> 01:11:09,683
- when we reported on Porter.
- 1392
- 01:11:10,059 --> 01:11:12,144
- That's just Law
- being Law.
- 1393
- 01:11:12,227 --> 01:11:13,771
- Okay, but I checked the clips,
- 1394
- 01:11:13,854 --> 01:11:17,399
- and, uh, Porter isn't even
- in the Boston archdiocese.
- 1395
- 01:11:17,566 --> 01:11:20,235
- - He's from Fall River.
- - So
- 1396
- 01:11:20,319 --> 01:11:21,862
- why the extreme reaction?
- 1397
- 01:11:23,572 --> 01:11:25,074
- Law had to know.
- 1398
- 01:11:25,699 --> 01:11:27,534
- That's why he
- had the reaction.
- 1399
- 01:11:27,826 --> 01:11:29,370
- Because he knew
- there were others.
- 1400
- 01:11:32,706 --> 01:11:34,541
- I think that's
- the bigger story.
- 1401
- 01:11:36,043 --> 01:11:37,586
- Bigger than 50 priests?
- 1402
- 01:11:38,337 --> 01:11:40,464
- If it came from
- the top down, yes.
- 1403
- 01:11:40,839 --> 01:11:42,383
- But the numbers
- clearly indicate
- 1404
- 01:11:42,508 --> 01:11:44,028
- that there were senior
- clergy involved.
- 1405
- 01:11:44,176 --> 01:11:45,427
- That's all they do.
- Indicate.
- 1406
- 01:11:45,594 --> 01:11:47,262
- Are you telling me
- that if we run a story
- 1407
- 01:11:47,388 --> 01:11:49,056
- with 50 pedophile
- priests in Boston...
- 1408
- 01:11:49,139 --> 01:11:50,391
- Mike!
- 1409
- 01:11:50,474 --> 01:11:52,714
- We'll get into the same cat
- fight you got into on Porter,
- 1410
- 01:11:52,768 --> 01:11:54,311
- which made a lot of noise,
- 1411
- 01:11:54,395 --> 01:11:56,397
- but changed things
- not one bit.
- 1412
- 01:11:59,900 --> 01:12:03,237
- We need to focus on the institution,
- not the individual priests.
- 1413
- 01:12:03,862 --> 01:12:05,155
- Practice and policy.
- 1414
- 01:12:05,698 --> 01:12:07,491
- Show me the Church
- manipulated the system
- 1415
- 01:12:07,574 --> 01:12:09,201
- so that these guys wouldn't
- have to face charges.
- 1416
- 01:12:09,284 --> 01:12:11,245
- Show me they put
- those same priests
- 1417
- 01:12:11,412 --> 01:12:13,372
- back into parishes,
- time and time again.
- 1418
- 01:12:13,455 --> 01:12:14,957
- Show me this was systemic,
- 1419
- 01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:17,084
- that it came
- from the top down.
- 1420
- 01:12:19,294 --> 01:12:21,255
- Sounds like we're
- going after Law.
- 1421
- 01:12:25,426 --> 01:12:27,428
- We're going
- after the system.
- 1422
- 01:12:30,222 --> 01:12:32,933
- Make a list of all the victims we have.
- Start reaching out.
- 1423
- 01:12:33,142 --> 01:12:34,862
- And bring Matt in if you need help.
- Mmm-hmm.
- 1424
- 01:12:34,935 --> 01:12:36,478
- Okay. Hey, when you
- go to Springfield?
- 1425
- 01:12:36,645 --> 01:12:38,605
- - Our hearing is Monday.
- - Okay.
- 1426
- 01:12:39,273 --> 01:12:40,941
- Hey, Robby,
- you got a second?
- 1427
- 01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:42,401
- Yeah.
- 1428
- 01:12:43,444 --> 01:12:45,863
- I, uh, got one of those
- treatment centers
- 1429
- 01:12:45,946 --> 01:12:47,114
- a block from
- my house.
- 1430
- 01:12:49,450 --> 01:12:51,035
- We got neighbors
- with kids.
- 1431
- 01:12:51,118 --> 01:12:54,371
- I know that the work we do is
- confidential, but I'm feeling like...
- 1432
- 01:12:55,581 --> 01:12:56,707
- I should tell 'em.
- 1433
- 01:13:01,170 --> 01:13:02,463
- We'll tell 'em soon.
- 1434
- 01:13:03,630 --> 01:13:04,631
- You sure?
- 1435
- 01:13:05,966 --> 01:13:07,134
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- 1436
- 01:13:10,554 --> 01:13:13,057
- Hi there. I'm Sacha Pfeiffer.
- I'm with <i>The Boston Globe.</i>
- 1437
- 01:13:13,140 --> 01:13:15,851
- I was just looking for a gentleman
- by the name of Matthew Walsh.
- 1438
- 01:13:16,643 --> 01:13:18,562
- Uh...
- No, he's not.
- 1439
- 01:13:23,358 --> 01:13:24,526
- Yeah, okay. Okay.
- 1440
- 01:13:31,742 --> 01:13:32,785
- Hi.
- Hi.
- 1441
- 01:13:32,868 --> 01:13:34,119
- I'm Sacha Pfeiffer
- from <i>The Boston Globe.</i>
- 1442
- 01:13:34,244 --> 01:13:35,454
- Yeah, what do you want?
- 1443
- 01:13:35,537 --> 01:13:37,017
- I'd like to speak
- with Thomas Kennedy.
- 1444
- 01:13:37,164 --> 01:13:38,415
- He doesn't live
- here anymore.
- 1445
- 01:13:38,540 --> 01:13:39,792
- Do you know
- where he lives?
- 1446
- 01:13:40,167 --> 01:13:41,835
- Sir, I'd just like
- to ask a few...
- 1447
- 01:13:44,004 --> 01:13:45,130
- Uh, Sacha Pfeiffer,
- <i>Boston Globe.</i>
- 1448
- 01:13:45,214 --> 01:13:46,673
- Oh, yeah, hi.
- 1449
- 01:13:46,757 --> 01:13:48,175
- Hi. Thank you.
- 1450
- 01:13:48,842 --> 01:13:50,302
- Anything else
- you can recall?
- 1451
- 01:13:50,427 --> 01:13:51,887
- No.
- 1452
- 01:13:51,970 --> 01:13:53,847
- No, but I got
- a cousin in Quincy.
- 1453
- 01:13:53,972 --> 01:13:55,808
- She saw him in the street
- a few years later.
- 1454
- 01:13:56,683 --> 01:13:58,268
- <i>The Bishop came
- over to the house.</i>
- 1455
- 01:13:58,352 --> 01:14:00,020
- He said nothing like this
- had ever happened before,
- 1456
- 01:14:00,104 --> 01:14:01,647
- and he asked us
- not to press charges.
- 1457
- 01:14:02,064 --> 01:14:03,857
- And what did
- your mother do?
- 1458
- 01:14:03,941 --> 01:14:05,234
- My mother?
- 1459
- 01:14:06,693 --> 01:14:08,278
- She put out
- freakin' cookies.
- 1460
- 01:14:12,616 --> 01:14:14,701
- <i>There was a lot of
- pressure to keep quiet.</i>
- 1461
- 01:14:15,035 --> 01:14:16,036
- From the Church?
- 1462
- 01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:17,871
- Yeah, from
- the Church.
- 1463
- 01:14:17,955 --> 01:14:19,873
- But not just
- the Church.
- 1464
- 01:14:20,415 --> 01:14:22,626
- From my friends,
- 1465
- 01:14:22,709 --> 01:14:24,253
- from the other
- parishioners.
- 1466
- 01:14:24,419 --> 01:14:26,421
- <i>Well, many of
- the priests that I treated</i>
- 1467
- 01:14:26,505 --> 01:14:28,799
- <i>were psychosexually stunted,</i>
- 1468
- 01:14:28,882 --> 01:14:31,135
- <i>on the emotional level
- of a 12- or 13-year-old.</i>
- 1469
- 01:14:31,301 --> 01:14:32,636
- Jeez.
- 1470
- 01:14:32,719 --> 01:14:34,513
- Sure the Chief knew.
- Everybody knew,
- 1471
- 01:14:34,638 --> 01:14:36,390
- but nobody wants
- to cuff a priest.
- 1472
- 01:14:36,557 --> 01:14:37,558
- Mmm.
- 1473
- 01:14:38,142 --> 01:14:39,393
- And what about
- the prosecutor?
- 1474
- 01:14:40,394 --> 01:14:41,979
- I shouldn't talk
- about this shit.
- 1475
- 01:14:42,146 --> 01:14:44,356
- I think you should,
- actually.
- 1476
- 01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:46,692
- Do you know a Father Hurley
- or a Father Gale?
- 1477
- 01:14:47,442 --> 01:14:48,485
- I do.
- 1478
- 01:14:48,569 --> 01:14:49,736
- I swear to God,
- I'll beat the shit out of you.
- 1479
- 01:14:49,903 --> 01:14:51,029
- Sorry to bother you.
- 1480
- 01:14:51,113 --> 01:14:52,281
- You leave me alone,
- you leave my brother alone!
- 1481
- 01:14:52,364 --> 01:14:53,365
- You hear me,
- God damn it?
- 1482
- 01:15:01,915 --> 01:15:04,042
- Hi there.
- I'm looking for Ronald Paquin.
- 1483
- 01:15:04,126 --> 01:15:05,127
- Yes?
- 1484
- 01:15:06,295 --> 01:15:07,421
- You're Father Paquin?
- 1485
- 01:15:07,546 --> 01:15:08,630
- Yes, that's right.
- 1486
- 01:15:09,923 --> 01:15:11,967
- I'm Sacha Pfeiffer
- from <i>The Boston Globe.</i>
- 1487
- 01:15:12,050 --> 01:15:13,050
- Okay.
- 1488
- 01:15:13,093 --> 01:15:14,511
- Could I ask you
- a few questions?
- 1489
- 01:15:14,636 --> 01:15:16,138
- Go ahead, dear.
- 1490
- 01:15:16,805 --> 01:15:18,849
- We spoke to several men who
- you knew when they were boys
- 1491
- 01:15:18,932 --> 01:15:20,601
- at St. John the Baptist
- in Haverhill.
- 1492
- 01:15:23,145 --> 01:15:24,938
- They told us you molested them.
- Is that true?
- 1493
- 01:15:27,441 --> 01:15:31,361
- Sure I fooled around,
- but I never felt gratified myself.
- 1494
- 01:15:32,946 --> 01:15:35,699
- Right. Um, but you
- admit to molesting boys
- 1495
- 01:15:35,782 --> 01:15:36,867
- at St. John the Baptist?
- 1496
- 01:15:37,951 --> 01:15:40,412
- Yes, yes,
- but as I said,
- 1497
- 01:15:40,495 --> 01:15:42,039
- I never got
- any pleasure from it.
- 1498
- 01:15:42,497 --> 01:15:44,499
- That's important
- to understand.
- 1499
- 01:15:44,666 --> 01:15:45,667
- Right.
- 1500
- 01:15:46,001 --> 01:15:49,046
- Um, but can you
- tell me where and how
- 1501
- 01:15:49,129 --> 01:15:50,449
- you fooled around
- with these boys?
- 1502
- 01:15:52,049 --> 01:15:53,759
- I want to be clear,
- 1503
- 01:15:53,842 --> 01:15:55,469
- I never raped anyone.
- 1504
- 01:15:56,637 --> 01:15:58,805
- There's a difference.
- I should know.
- 1505
- 01:15:59,473 --> 01:16:00,641
- How would you know?
- 1506
- 01:16:00,766 --> 01:16:01,892
- I was raped.
- 1507
- 01:16:04,645 --> 01:16:06,438
- I'm sorry,
- who raped you?
- 1508
- 01:16:06,521 --> 01:16:07,522
- Ronnie, who're
- you talking to?
- 1509
- 01:16:07,689 --> 01:16:09,107
- It's okay, Jane.
- Father Paquin, who raped you?
- 1510
- 01:16:09,191 --> 01:16:10,192
- Who are you?
- 1511
- 01:16:10,651 --> 01:16:12,527
- Uh... Sacha Pfeiffer,
- from the <i>Globe.</i>
- 1512
- 01:16:12,694 --> 01:16:14,574
- Please get off my porch.
- I can speak for myself.
- 1513
- 01:16:14,655 --> 01:16:16,657
- Get inside the house, Ronnie.
- Mr...
- 1514
- 01:16:16,740 --> 01:16:18,533
- Get inside, Ronald.
- Sorry.
- 1515
- 01:16:18,700 --> 01:16:19,785
- Uh, I'm sorry, who are you?
- 1516
- 01:16:19,910 --> 01:16:20,953
- I'm his sister,
- 1517
- 01:16:21,036 --> 01:16:22,246
- and I don't want
- you coming back here.
- 1518
- 01:16:22,329 --> 01:16:23,497
- Ms. Paquin...
- 1519
- 01:16:31,213 --> 01:16:32,839
- Beat you to
- the end of the street!
- 1520
- 01:16:32,965 --> 01:16:34,645
- No, you won't.
- I beat you last time!
- 1521
- 01:16:34,716 --> 01:16:35,796
- No, you didn't,
- you cheated!
- 1522
- 01:16:35,842 --> 01:16:36,885
- You did!
- 1523
- 01:16:43,433 --> 01:16:47,521
- Could you please clarify the <i>Globe's</i>
- position for me, Mr. Albano?
- 1524
- 01:16:47,771 --> 01:16:49,189
- Yes, Judge Sweeney.
- 1525
- 01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:55,779
- Our argument to make
- these documents public
- 1526
- 01:16:55,862 --> 01:16:58,490
- rests mainly on
- First Amendment grounds.
- 1527
- 01:16:58,782 --> 01:17:01,368
- We also have a number
- of other relevant arguments.
- 1528
- 01:17:01,451 --> 01:17:02,452
- After all, Your Honor,
- 1529
- 01:17:02,536 --> 01:17:03,787
- this was a
- discretionary order.
- 1530
- 01:17:04,204 --> 01:17:06,707
- Yes, it was made
- at the Judge's discretion.
- 1531
- 01:17:06,873 --> 01:17:08,166
- Hey, Mike.
- 1532
- 01:17:08,292 --> 01:17:09,543
- Hey, Joe.
- 1533
- 01:17:10,377 --> 01:17:11,461
- What's a
- Spotlight reporter
- 1534
- 01:17:11,545 --> 01:17:12,671
- doing in Springfield?
- 1535
- 01:17:15,048 --> 01:17:17,634
- Your boy Albano's
- sledding uphill.
- 1536
- 01:17:17,718 --> 01:17:19,594
- You actually think you have a
- shot at winning this thing?
- 1537
- 01:17:19,761 --> 01:17:21,471
- You want me to comment
- for the <i>Herald?</i>
- 1538
- 01:17:23,724 --> 01:17:26,226
- <i>"Globe</i> reporter
- would not comment,
- 1539
- 01:17:27,060 --> 01:17:29,646
- "but he did not
- seem hopeful."
- 1540
- 01:17:30,772 --> 01:17:32,691
- He didn't try
- and hide it at all.
- 1541
- 01:17:32,774 --> 01:17:35,652
- He had this really odd
- rationalization for it.
- 1542
- 01:17:35,736 --> 01:17:37,154
- Like it was
- totally normal
- 1543
- 01:17:37,237 --> 01:17:38,477
- to fool around
- with little boys.
- 1544
- 01:17:39,406 --> 01:17:41,700
- I'd really like to go back.
- I think he'd talk to us.
- 1545
- 01:17:42,534 --> 01:17:43,910
- Oh, we will.
- 1546
- 01:17:44,411 --> 01:17:45,829
- Just not yet.
- 1547
- 01:17:45,912 --> 01:17:48,623
- I want you to stay focused
- on the victims right now.
- 1548
- 01:17:48,707 --> 01:17:51,126
- Sacha, where'd they send
- Father Talbot again?
- 1549
- 01:17:51,209 --> 01:17:53,253
- Um, I think...
- Wasn't that Cheverus?
- 1550
- 01:17:53,628 --> 01:17:54,713
- Cheverus, that's right.
- 1551
- 01:17:54,796 --> 01:17:57,341
- Wait, Father Talbot
- from BC High?
- 1552
- 01:17:57,758 --> 01:17:59,468
- Yeah, you know him?
- 1553
- 01:17:59,634 --> 01:18:01,803
- Yeah, he was there
- when I was.
- 1554
- 01:18:02,429 --> 01:18:03,472
- We have a victim?
- 1555
- 01:18:03,555 --> 01:18:05,766
- Yeah, lives
- in Providence.
- 1556
- 01:18:09,436 --> 01:18:12,356
- There's nothing personal in
- these documents, Your Honor.
- 1557
- 01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:13,774
- They concern how the
- Cardinal is handling...
- 1558
- 01:18:13,899 --> 01:18:15,233
- Say "the archdiocese."
- 1559
- 01:18:16,610 --> 01:18:17,736
- Excuse me?
- 1560
- 01:18:17,819 --> 01:18:19,237
- You don't get to
- tag the Cardinal
- 1561
- 01:18:19,321 --> 01:18:21,156
- with everything,
- Mr. Albano.
- 1562
- 01:18:21,239 --> 01:18:22,908
- Say "the archdiocese."
- 1563
- 01:18:23,575 --> 01:18:25,535
- Judge Sweeney, the <i>Globe</i>
- is not a party to this case,
- 1564
- 01:18:25,619 --> 01:18:26,703
- they just want
- to sell papers.
- 1565
- 01:18:26,787 --> 01:18:29,122
- If Mr. Garabedian
- had not smeared
- 1566
- 01:18:29,206 --> 01:18:30,499
- the Cardinal's
- good name,
- 1567
- 01:18:31,124 --> 01:18:32,584
- we wouldn't even be here.
- 1568
- 01:18:32,667 --> 01:18:34,795
- Your Honor, I object to the
- use of the word "smear."
- 1569
- 01:18:34,961 --> 01:18:36,505
- Duly noted,
- Mr. Garabedian.
- 1570
- 01:18:36,588 --> 01:18:37,748
- Thank you, Your Honor.
- 1571
- 01:18:37,798 --> 01:18:38,798
- Anything else,
- Mr. Rogers?
- 1572
- 01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:39,841
- No, Your Honor.
- 1573
- 01:18:40,092 --> 01:18:42,135
- Mr. Albano,
- you may continue.
- 1574
- 01:18:42,302 --> 01:18:43,382
- <i>The Globe</i>
- believes having...
- 1575
- 01:18:45,639 --> 01:18:47,724
- Hey, Mitch,
- how are you doing?
- 1576
- 01:18:48,141 --> 01:18:49,142
- I'm fine.
- 1577
- 01:18:49,976 --> 01:18:52,312
- He's tough,
- that Wilson Rogers.
- 1578
- 01:18:52,771 --> 01:18:53,980
- He's smug.
- 1579
- 01:18:54,481 --> 01:18:55,816
- And he's sloppy.
- 1580
- 01:18:56,066 --> 01:18:57,651
- He doesn't seem sloppy.
- 1581
- 01:18:58,318 --> 01:19:00,070
- You don't know the half of it.
- Trust me.
- 1582
- 01:19:01,446 --> 01:19:03,156
- What's the
- half of it?
- 1583
- 01:19:05,325 --> 01:19:06,576
- Tell me the
- half of it, Mitch.
- 1584
- 01:19:08,745 --> 01:19:10,747
- Off the record?
- Off the record, yeah.
- 1585
- 01:19:14,334 --> 01:19:16,837
- Three years ago,
- I get a call from an ex-priest.
- 1586
- 01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:18,171
- Anthony Benzevich.
- 1587
- 01:19:18,338 --> 01:19:20,590
- He was at Blessed
- Sacrament back in '62,
- 1588
- 01:19:20,757 --> 01:19:22,968
- and he saw Geoghan
- 1589
- 01:19:24,136 --> 01:19:26,263
- taking little boys up to
- the rectory bedroom, okay?
- 1590
- 01:19:26,346 --> 01:19:28,265
- So he's appalled,
- all right?
- 1591
- 01:19:28,348 --> 01:19:29,474
- Tells the bishop
- about it.
- 1592
- 01:19:30,434 --> 01:19:32,269
- The bishop threatens
- to reassign him
- 1593
- 01:19:32,686 --> 01:19:34,187
- to South America.
- 1594
- 01:19:34,271 --> 01:19:35,772
- Jesus.
- Yeah, all right.
- 1595
- 01:19:35,856 --> 01:19:37,274
- So fast forward 35 years,
- 1596
- 01:19:37,357 --> 01:19:39,109
- Benzevich reads that
- Geoghan's been charged
- 1597
- 01:19:39,234 --> 01:19:41,027
- with molesting
- hundreds of kids.
- 1598
- 01:19:41,194 --> 01:19:43,447
- All right? So he feels guilty.
- He calls me.
- 1599
- 01:19:43,530 --> 01:19:45,699
- So you have
- testimony of a priest
- 1600
- 01:19:45,866 --> 01:19:48,034
- telling his superiors
- about Geoghan in '62?
- 1601
- 01:19:48,702 --> 01:19:50,203
- No, I do not.
- 1602
- 01:19:50,287 --> 01:19:52,873
- Because when I called Benzevich
- in to give a deposition,
- 1603
- 01:19:53,039 --> 01:19:54,207
- he comes in
- with a lawyer.
- 1604
- 01:19:55,041 --> 01:19:56,668
- Wilson Rogers.
- Right.
- 1605
- 01:19:57,127 --> 01:19:58,295
- And suddenly
- Father Benzevich
- 1606
- 01:19:58,378 --> 01:19:59,629
- has a very foggy memory.
- 1607
- 01:19:59,838 --> 01:20:01,798
- Can't remember anything.
- He's useless.
- 1608
- 01:20:01,965 --> 01:20:03,091
- So I go back to work,
- 1609
- 01:20:03,175 --> 01:20:04,509
- I forget about it.
- Whatever.
- 1610
- 01:20:05,218 --> 01:20:07,053
- Until about a year ago,
- I find an article
- 1611
- 01:20:07,137 --> 01:20:10,223
- about a priest who warned
- church officials about Geoghan.
- 1612
- 01:20:10,724 --> 01:20:12,559
- Benzevich went to the press?
- Yeah.
- 1613
- 01:20:12,893 --> 01:20:15,395
- Yeah, local paper, <i>Patriot Ledger.</i>
- Nobody saw it.
- 1614
- 01:20:15,562 --> 01:20:17,147
- But now I got
- Benzevich on record.
- 1615
- 01:20:17,314 --> 01:20:20,567
- So I file a motion to depose
- Benzevich a second time.
- 1616
- 01:20:21,151 --> 01:20:22,861
- All right?
- And Wilson Rogers,
- 1617
- 01:20:22,944 --> 01:20:24,488
- that smug son of a bitch,
- 1618
- 01:20:24,654 --> 01:20:27,240
- he files a motion
- opposing my motion.
- 1619
- 01:20:27,824 --> 01:20:29,201
- And that's when
- I have him.
- 1620
- 01:20:30,744 --> 01:20:31,912
- Have him how?
- 1621
- 01:20:32,329 --> 01:20:33,872
- Rogers opposes my motion,
- 1622
- 01:20:34,039 --> 01:20:35,332
- so I have to
- make an argument
- 1623
- 01:20:35,415 --> 01:20:36,458
- as to why I'm
- allowed to depose
- 1624
- 01:20:36,541 --> 01:20:38,376
- Father Benzevich
- a second time, okay?
- 1625
- 01:20:38,585 --> 01:20:41,254
- But this time,
- I'm allowed to attach exhibits.
- 1626
- 01:20:41,838 --> 01:20:42,998
- Do you follow
- what I'm saying?
- 1627
- 01:20:43,548 --> 01:20:44,758
- The sealed documents?
- Yes.
- 1628
- 01:20:45,091 --> 01:20:47,093
- I can attach
- the sealed documents
- 1629
- 01:20:47,260 --> 01:20:49,262
- that I've gotten in discovery,
- Mr. Rezendes,
- 1630
- 01:20:49,429 --> 01:20:52,349
- the same documents that your
- paper is currently suing for.
- 1631
- 01:20:53,266 --> 01:20:54,476
- You're shitting me?
- 1632
- 01:20:54,559 --> 01:20:56,436
- What?
- No. No, I'm not shitting you.
- 1633
- 01:20:56,603 --> 01:20:59,439
- So I pull out the 14
- most damning docs
- 1634
- 01:20:59,523 --> 01:21:00,899
- and I attach 'em
- to my motion.
- 1635
- 01:21:01,066 --> 01:21:02,734
- And they prove
- everything. Everything.
- 1636
- 01:21:02,943 --> 01:21:05,445
- About the Church,
- about the bishops, about Law.
- 1637
- 01:21:05,612 --> 01:21:07,280
- And it's all public?
- 1638
- 01:21:07,572 --> 01:21:10,033
- Because your motion
- to oppose Roger's motion
- 1639
- 01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:12,202
- is public.
- Yeah, exactly.
- 1640
- 01:21:12,285 --> 01:21:13,411
- Now you're
- paying attention.
- 1641
- 01:21:13,578 --> 01:21:15,580
- So I could just walk into
- that courthouse right now
- 1642
- 01:21:15,747 --> 01:21:16,873
- and get those documents?
- 1643
- 01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:18,708
- No, you cannot,
- 1644
- 01:21:18,792 --> 01:21:20,293
- because the documents
- are not there.
- 1645
- 01:21:20,961 --> 01:21:22,295
- But you just
- said they're public.
- 1646
- 01:21:22,379 --> 01:21:25,507
- I know I did,
- but this is Boston,
- 1647
- 01:21:25,590 --> 01:21:29,094
- and the Church does not
- want them to be found.
- 1648
- 01:21:29,427 --> 01:21:30,804
- So they are not there.
- 1649
- 01:21:32,722 --> 01:21:35,141
- Mitch, are you telling me
- that the Catholic Church
- 1650
- 01:21:35,308 --> 01:21:37,602
- removed legal documents
- from that courthouse?
- 1651
- 01:21:38,144 --> 01:21:41,147
- Look, I'm not crazy,
- I'm not paranoid.
- 1652
- 01:21:41,314 --> 01:21:42,482
- I'm experienced.
- 1653
- 01:21:42,649 --> 01:21:44,651
- Check the docket.
- You'll see.
- 1654
- 01:21:45,735 --> 01:21:47,153
- They control everything.
- 1655
- 01:21:50,073 --> 01:21:51,241
- Everything.
- 1656
- 01:21:53,326 --> 01:21:54,953
- I gotta go back in.
- 1657
- 01:21:58,665 --> 01:22:01,459
- These guys got
- the fucking documents.
- 1658
- 01:22:15,765 --> 01:22:18,977
- Docket entry number 49,
- it's in the Geoghan case.
- 1659
- 01:22:19,144 --> 01:22:20,224
- We're closing
- in 10 minutes.
- 1660
- 01:22:20,353 --> 01:22:22,022
- Ten minutes?
- All right.
- 1661
- 01:22:59,225 --> 01:23:00,977
- - Robby.
- <i>- Hey, it's me.</i>
- 1662
- 01:23:01,061 --> 01:23:02,437
- Hey.
- <i>You're not gonna believe it.</i>
- 1663
- 01:23:02,854 --> 01:23:06,358
- Garabedian gave me a tip.
- Some of the sealed docs are already public.
- 1664
- 01:23:06,524 --> 01:23:07,859
- They're part of
- a motion he filed.
- 1665
- 01:23:08,276 --> 01:23:09,819
- <i>He said they're
- the best of the bunch.</i>
- 1666
- 01:23:09,944 --> 01:23:11,488
- <i>We don't have to wait
- for Sweeney's ruling.</i>
- 1667
- 01:23:11,571 --> 01:23:12,739
- So we can get them?
- 1668
- 01:23:12,864 --> 01:23:13,990
- <i>Yeah, but they're not there.</i>
- 1669
- 01:23:14,324 --> 01:23:15,325
- Already talked to Albano.
- 1670
- 01:23:15,408 --> 01:23:17,285
- He said all we have
- to do is file a motion,
- 1671
- 01:23:17,452 --> 01:23:19,829
- and Sweeney will order Mitch
- to refile the docs.
- 1672
- 01:23:20,413 --> 01:23:21,956
- And you think
- these documents are...
- 1673
- 01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:24,709
- <i>He said these 14 docs were all we need.
- They're huge.</i>
- 1674
- 01:23:24,834 --> 01:23:29,005
- Okay. I'll call Ben.
- Good work.
- 1675
- 01:23:45,397 --> 01:23:47,399
- ...<i>whether</i>
- <i>this was truly an accident</i>
- 1676
- 01:23:47,482 --> 01:23:48,942
- <i>or someone committed
- an intentional act.</i>
- 1677
- 01:23:49,025 --> 01:23:50,652
- <i>But either way,
- extensive damage</i>
- 1678
- 01:23:50,735 --> 01:23:52,112
- <i>has been done
- to this building.</i>
- 1679
- 01:23:54,489 --> 01:23:56,282
- What happened?
- 1680
- 01:23:56,366 --> 01:23:58,284
- They're saying
- it's a prop plane,
- 1681
- 01:23:58,368 --> 01:23:59,536
- but that's not
- a prop plane.
- 1682
- 01:24:03,790 --> 01:24:06,459
- Tell Linda to get every
- reporter we have in here now.
- 1683
- 01:24:08,044 --> 01:24:09,804
- <i>You pray for the victims,</i>
- 1684
- 01:24:09,879 --> 01:24:12,590
- <i>you pray for the injured,</i>
- 1685
- 01:24:13,258 --> 01:24:15,760
- <i>and you pray for
- those who survived.</i>
- 1686
- 01:24:16,928 --> 01:24:19,681
- <i>You pray, too, for the nation.</i>
- 1687
- 01:24:21,015 --> 01:24:27,063
- <i>That our response to this might reflect
- the best ideals of our nation.</i>
- 1688
- 01:24:28,314 --> 01:24:31,317
- <i>And even more,
- reflect God's own teaching.</i>
- 1689
- 01:24:31,860 --> 01:24:35,864
- <i>Not only as it's shown
- in Christianity and Judaism,</i>
- 1690
- 01:24:36,322 --> 01:24:38,283
- <i>but in Islam as well.</i>
- 1691
- 01:24:38,450 --> 01:24:40,785
- Not bad. Who's there?
- Paulson.
- 1692
- 01:24:41,119 --> 01:24:42,620
- I wanna talk to him
- when he's back.
- 1693
- 01:24:43,204 --> 01:24:45,004
- Did Rezendes find a way
- to get to Florida yet?
- 1694
- 01:24:45,331 --> 01:24:46,875
- They just opened the
- airport in Providence.
- 1695
- 01:24:46,958 --> 01:24:47,959
- He's on his way
- there now.
- 1696
- 01:24:48,334 --> 01:24:50,378
- Ben, I'm gonna need more
- people on Massport.
- 1697
- 01:24:50,462 --> 01:24:51,880
- I'll give you
- three of my guys.
- 1698
- 01:24:51,963 --> 01:24:53,883
- - Robby, put your team on that, too.
- - Got it.
- 1699
- 01:24:53,923 --> 01:24:55,216
- And Robby,
- everything else stops.
- 1700
- 01:24:55,341 --> 01:24:56,676
- Understood.
- 1701
- 01:24:56,801 --> 01:24:58,178
- Why's Mike going
- to Florida?
- 1702
- 01:24:58,261 --> 01:25:01,097
- Flight school. It's
- where they learned to fly.
- 1703
- 01:25:01,181 --> 01:25:03,975
- Robby, I've got a lot of victim
- interviews set up this week.
- 1704
- 01:25:04,058 --> 01:25:05,435
- We have to cancel 'em.
- 1705
- 01:25:05,518 --> 01:25:06,811
- That's gonna be hard.
- I know.
- 1706
- 01:25:06,978 --> 01:25:08,938
- This is nuts.
- Two days ago I told my wife
- 1707
- 01:25:09,105 --> 01:25:10,940
- we gotta be working the
- biggest story on the planet.
- 1708
- 01:25:11,024 --> 01:25:12,317
- <i>Boston Globe.</i>
- 1709
- 01:25:12,484 --> 01:25:14,324
- <i>Boston Globe.</i>
- One moment, please.
- 1710
- 01:25:14,527 --> 01:25:16,808
- Yes, if you have a tip,
- I will transfer you down to Metro.
- 1711
- 01:25:19,115 --> 01:25:20,200
- Mitchell Garabedian.
- 1712
- 01:25:20,283 --> 01:25:21,659
- <i>Mitch, it's Mike,
- I've been trying to reach you.</i>
- 1713
- 01:25:21,743 --> 01:25:23,453
- I don't have time to talk to you,
- Mr. Rezendes.
- 1714
- 01:25:23,536 --> 01:25:26,247
- Hey, just quickly,
- did you refile those docs yet?
- 1715
- 01:25:26,331 --> 01:25:28,171
- <i>No, I just
- got the order. It takes time.</i>
- 1716
- 01:25:28,333 --> 01:25:29,959
- Okay, great. Can you hold
- off on refiling them?
- 1717
- 01:25:30,126 --> 01:25:31,461
- <i>Hold off?</i>
- I have to go to Florida.
- 1718
- 01:25:31,628 --> 01:25:33,046
- Once you refile
- they're public.
- 1719
- 01:25:33,213 --> 01:25:35,213
- Other newspapers will be
- able to get a hold of 'em.
- 1720
- 01:25:35,298 --> 01:25:39,135
- <i>Other newspapers are not my concern.
- I received a judicial order.</i>
- 1721
- 01:25:39,344 --> 01:25:41,095
- <i>I told you the Church
- is watching me.</i>
- 1722
- 01:25:41,262 --> 01:25:43,765
- Oh, hey, Mitch, please.
- All I need's a few more weeks.
- 1723
- 01:25:45,391 --> 01:25:47,227
- <i>I can't make any promises.
- Goodbye.</i>
- 1724
- 01:25:47,393 --> 01:25:49,854
- Mitch? Mitch! Shit!
- 1725
- 01:25:51,773 --> 01:25:52,774
- Shit.
- 1726
- 01:26:01,741 --> 01:26:03,785
- <i>Look, I get it,
- no one wants to read</i>
- 1727
- 01:26:03,868 --> 01:26:05,161
- <i>about kids getting
- raped by priests.</i>
- 1728
- 01:26:05,245 --> 01:26:06,329
- Especially now.
- 1729
- 01:26:06,412 --> 01:26:07,932
- But you asked a lot
- of people to relive
- 1730
- 01:26:07,997 --> 01:26:09,332
- some very
- painful experiences,
- 1731
- 01:26:09,415 --> 01:26:10,458
- and you just disappear.
- 1732
- 01:26:10,542 --> 01:26:12,168
- Phil, you know why we were
- taken off of the story.
- 1733
- 01:26:12,252 --> 01:26:14,045
- It's been six weeks
- since 9/11.
- 1734
- 01:26:14,170 --> 01:26:16,381
- I realize that and we're
- gonna get back to it.
- 1735
- 01:26:16,548 --> 01:26:17,549
- When?
- 1736
- 01:26:19,217 --> 01:26:21,217
- You're doing the same thing
- you guys did last time.
- 1737
- 01:26:21,261 --> 01:26:22,303
- No.
- You're dropping us.
- 1738
- 01:26:22,428 --> 01:26:24,514
- No. Maybe I should tell
- the <i>Herald</i> that story.
- 1739
- 01:26:25,849 --> 01:26:27,934
- Okay, Phil,
- you go ahead and do that.
- 1740
- 01:26:28,685 --> 01:26:31,813
- It will undo all the work we've done,
- but I can't stop you.
- 1741
- 01:26:34,023 --> 01:26:37,360
- Listen to me.
- I am here because I care.
- 1742
- 01:26:39,445 --> 01:26:40,864
- We're not going away.
- 1743
- 01:26:41,614 --> 01:26:43,774
- We're gonna tell this story,
- we're gonna tell it right.
- 1744
- 01:26:43,908 --> 01:26:46,452
- We just need a little more time.
- That's all we're asking for.
- 1745
- 01:26:49,622 --> 01:26:51,207
- Why bother asking?
- 1746
- 01:26:52,584 --> 01:26:54,419
- You're gonna do
- what you want anyway.
- 1747
- 01:26:55,587 --> 01:26:57,171
- You always do.
- 1748
- 01:26:57,881 --> 01:26:58,882
- Phil.
- 1749
- 01:26:59,841 --> 01:27:00,842
- Phil.
- 1750
- 01:27:06,890 --> 01:27:08,016
- Hey.
- 1751
- 01:27:08,099 --> 01:27:09,475
- <i>How's South Beach?</i>
- 1752
- 01:27:09,559 --> 01:27:12,312
- Boynton Beach.
- Remarkably different place.
- 1753
- 01:27:12,812 --> 01:27:13,897
- What's up?
- 1754
- 01:27:13,980 --> 01:27:15,982
- <i>Mitch Garabedian
- called me today.</i>
- 1755
- 01:27:16,274 --> 01:27:18,568
- Why'd he call you?
- <i>'Cause he knew you'd yell at him.</i>
- 1756
- 01:27:18,943 --> 01:27:20,278
- <i>He refiled the docs.</i>
- 1757
- 01:27:20,445 --> 01:27:21,446
- What?
- 1758
- 01:27:21,946 --> 01:27:23,531
- Robby, those docs
- are public now.
- 1759
- 01:27:23,615 --> 01:27:24,866
- <i>We gotta get there
- before anyone else does.</i>
- 1760
- 01:27:24,949 --> 01:27:26,367
- I know. I know. I know.
- 1761
- 01:27:26,451 --> 01:27:28,244
- Just wrap up
- whatever you're doing
- 1762
- 01:27:28,328 --> 01:27:29,448
- and get
- the first flight out.
- 1763
- 01:27:29,495 --> 01:27:31,623
- <i>I'll book a flight now and go
- straight to the courthouse tomorrow.</i>
- 1764
- 01:27:31,706 --> 01:27:33,708
- All right. Call me when you get in.
- <i>Okay.</i>
- 1765
- 01:27:35,835 --> 01:27:38,838
- Robby, I'd like to let Phil Saviano
- know that we're back on it.
- 1766
- 01:27:39,005 --> 01:27:40,590
- Good idea.
- 1767
- 01:27:40,673 --> 01:27:42,300
- Go have dinner with Hansi.
- 1768
- 01:27:42,383 --> 01:27:43,760
- Might be the last time
- for a while.
- 1769
- 01:27:44,385 --> 01:27:45,386
- Mmm-hmm.
- 1770
- 01:27:49,724 --> 01:27:52,101
- Robby, after
- we saw Macleish,
- 1771
- 01:27:52,185 --> 01:27:53,705
- I started going
- back through the clips,
- 1772
- 01:27:54,062 --> 01:27:56,272
- and I had a little time
- last week finally.
- 1773
- 01:27:56,356 --> 01:27:58,983
- So, um, I found that.
- 1774
- 01:28:00,276 --> 01:28:02,028
- It's from '93.
- 1775
- 01:28:11,955 --> 01:28:12,997
- That it?
- 1776
- 01:28:15,500 --> 01:28:17,502
- Yeah. Yeah, that's it.
- 1777
- 01:28:20,004 --> 01:28:21,047
- Good night.
- 1778
- 01:28:22,256 --> 01:28:24,092
- Okay, good night.
- 1779
- 01:29:03,464 --> 01:29:05,383
- So, I was probably a few
- years after you, right?
- 1780
- 01:29:05,550 --> 01:29:07,844
- No, you were
- more than a few.
- 1781
- 01:29:07,927 --> 01:29:09,095
- Believe me.
- 1782
- 01:29:09,971 --> 01:29:12,890
- Well, after BC High,
- I came down to Providence
- 1783
- 01:29:13,057 --> 01:29:14,475
- and played hockey
- for the Friars.
- 1784
- 01:29:15,101 --> 01:29:17,478
- Oh, well, you must
- have been pretty good.
- 1785
- 01:29:17,645 --> 01:29:19,981
- No. Rode the bench in college.
- Yeah. Oh.
- 1786
- 01:29:20,398 --> 01:29:21,607
- But I loved the city.
- 1787
- 01:29:22,025 --> 01:29:23,818
- Oh.
- And we just had our third kid.
- 1788
- 01:29:24,444 --> 01:29:26,112
- And I still get my <i>Globe,</i>
- for the record.
- 1789
- 01:29:26,279 --> 01:29:28,781
- Oh, that's good to know.
- Good to know.
- 1790
- 01:29:29,657 --> 01:29:33,661
- Look, Kevin, uh,
- that's actually why I'm here.
- 1791
- 01:29:35,204 --> 01:29:39,459
- I need to ask you some
- questions about Father Talbot.
- 1792
- 01:29:46,674 --> 01:29:48,092
- How'd you find out?
- 1793
- 01:29:49,510 --> 01:29:50,803
- Well...
- 1794
- 01:29:51,721 --> 01:29:53,556
- I guess
- it doesn't matter.
- 1795
- 01:29:58,978 --> 01:30:01,981
- And I never even
- told my wife.
- 1796
- 01:30:03,149 --> 01:30:04,817
- Excuse me.
- 1797
- 01:30:10,114 --> 01:30:12,194
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
- I need to get in there.
- 1798
- 01:30:12,241 --> 01:30:13,743
- We're closed. Come on, let me in.
- Five minutes.
- 1799
- 01:30:13,826 --> 01:30:15,161
- I'm sorry, we're closed.
- 1800
- 01:30:15,286 --> 01:30:16,579
- Come on. Five minutes.
- 1801
- 01:30:25,254 --> 01:30:26,255
- Hello.
- 1802
- 01:30:31,886 --> 01:30:33,346
- Here.
- 1803
- 01:30:36,557 --> 01:30:38,351
- This is the Geoghan case?
- That's right.
- 1804
- 01:30:39,185 --> 01:30:40,770
- Those records are sealed.
- No.
- 1805
- 01:30:40,937 --> 01:30:43,564
- That's a public motion.
- Those records are public.
- 1806
- 01:30:43,648 --> 01:30:44,857
- Look, I work for the <i>Globe.</i>
- 1807
- 01:30:45,858 --> 01:30:46,943
- Good for you.
- 1808
- 01:30:49,028 --> 01:30:50,404
- Can I talk to
- your supervisor?
- 1809
- 01:30:50,530 --> 01:30:51,948
- He's not in today.
- 1810
- 01:30:52,448 --> 01:30:53,658
- What about a judge?
- 1811
- 01:30:53,741 --> 01:30:56,035
- There must be judges that
- work on this kind of thing.
- 1812
- 01:30:56,536 --> 01:30:57,912
- Sixth floor.
- 1813
- 01:31:05,294 --> 01:31:07,894
- We understand the nature of the
- allegations against Father Talbot.
- 1814
- 01:31:08,381 --> 01:31:11,467
- I'm just not sure what you
- want from President Kemeza.
- 1815
- 01:31:12,218 --> 01:31:14,220
- Talbot taught here long
- before Bill took over.
- 1816
- 01:31:14,387 --> 01:31:16,848
- Mmm. Of course.
- We just want to know
- 1817
- 01:31:16,931 --> 01:31:18,724
- if it's possible
- that the president,
- 1818
- 01:31:18,891 --> 01:31:20,226
- the faculty, the board,
- 1819
- 01:31:20,309 --> 01:31:22,109
- that no one knew what was
- going on at the time.
- 1820
- 01:31:22,145 --> 01:31:26,482
- I graduated in 1979, and I had
- no idea about any of this.
- 1821
- 01:31:26,899 --> 01:31:29,068
- So if you're suggesting that
- Father Gibbons and Father Callahan
- 1822
- 01:31:29,152 --> 01:31:30,319
- had in any way...
- 1823
- 01:31:30,403 --> 01:31:32,280
- Gibbons and Callahan...
- 1824
- 01:31:32,363 --> 01:31:34,240
- I mean, they ran this
- place like the navy.
- 1825
- 01:31:34,991 --> 01:31:36,431
- Do you really think
- they didn't know?
- 1826
- 01:31:37,493 --> 01:31:39,495
- It's a big school, Robby.
- You know that.
- 1827
- 01:31:40,246 --> 01:31:42,915
- And we're talking about
- seven alleged victims
- 1828
- 01:31:43,082 --> 01:31:44,417
- over, what, eight years.
- 1829
- 01:31:44,584 --> 01:31:47,753
- We're talking about
- seven that we know about.
- 1830
- 01:31:48,045 --> 01:31:49,755
- This is ridiculous.
- 1831
- 01:31:50,381 --> 01:31:52,541
- You're reaching for a story here.
- We cannot possibly...
- 1832
- 01:31:52,592 --> 01:31:55,511
- Jack. Jack. Jack.
- If I had been president then,
- 1833
- 01:31:55,595 --> 01:31:56,762
- I would've known.
- 1834
- 01:31:57,430 --> 01:31:59,265
- Bill, I'm not sure
- that's relevant.
- 1835
- 01:31:59,432 --> 01:32:02,101
- Why do you think they sent
- Talbot up to Cheverus?
- 1836
- 01:32:02,935 --> 01:32:04,937
- You know they
- wanted him out of town.
- 1837
- 01:32:06,272 --> 01:32:10,026
- Robby, as well
- intentioned as Bill's remarks are,
- 1838
- 01:32:10,109 --> 01:32:11,819
- I'm hoping we can
- keep this between us
- 1839
- 01:32:11,944 --> 01:32:13,696
- until we all get
- on the same page.
- 1840
- 01:32:17,408 --> 01:32:19,288
- Is that why we're here,
- to get on the same page?
- 1841
- 01:32:19,911 --> 01:32:21,954
- No, we're here because you're
- an important alumnus, Robby,
- 1842
- 01:32:22,038 --> 01:32:23,206
- and a friend.
- 1843
- 01:32:23,289 --> 01:32:26,667
- Exactly, and we know you care about
- this school as much as we do.
- 1844
- 01:32:28,961 --> 01:32:30,463
- Did you play
- a sport here, Jack?
- 1845
- 01:32:31,088 --> 01:32:32,798
- Yeah. Football. Why?
- 1846
- 01:32:33,257 --> 01:32:34,967
- Mmm. I ran track.
- 1847
- 01:32:35,051 --> 01:32:37,220
- You know, I went to
- Providence yesterday
- 1848
- 01:32:37,345 --> 01:32:39,472
- to talk to one of
- Father Talbot's victims.
- 1849
- 01:32:39,555 --> 01:32:40,973
- He played hockey here.
- 1850
- 01:32:41,432 --> 01:32:43,392
- And, uh, he's one
- of the better ones.
- 1851
- 01:32:43,476 --> 01:32:46,437
- He's got a wife,
- kids, good job.
- 1852
- 01:32:48,481 --> 01:32:51,984
- About 10 minutes
- into the conversation,
- 1853
- 01:32:52,068 --> 01:32:53,319
- the guy breaks down.
- 1854
- 01:32:53,903 --> 01:32:55,655
- You know,
- couldn't stop crying.
- 1855
- 01:32:57,281 --> 01:33:00,493
- Said he could never figure out
- why Father Talbot picked him.
- 1856
- 01:33:02,828 --> 01:33:05,331
- Father Talbot
- coached the hockey team.
- 1857
- 01:33:07,416 --> 01:33:08,668
- So,
- 1858
- 01:33:10,044 --> 01:33:11,462
- I guess we just got lucky.
- 1859
- 01:33:12,755 --> 01:33:14,507
- You and me.
- 1860
- 01:33:20,596 --> 01:33:22,265
- Does Jack Dunn
- work for the school?
- 1861
- 01:33:22,390 --> 01:33:24,100
- No, he's PR
- for Boston College.
- 1862
- 01:33:24,308 --> 01:33:26,018
- They call him
- when they need help.
- 1863
- 01:33:26,185 --> 01:33:28,104
- And Pete Conley?
- Why was he there?
- 1864
- 01:33:28,271 --> 01:33:29,272
- Good question.
- 1865
- 01:33:29,355 --> 01:33:31,315
- Pete's a big alum,
- but I called Bill directly,
- 1866
- 01:33:31,399 --> 01:33:33,067
- and I asked
- for a sit-down.
- 1867
- 01:33:33,150 --> 01:33:34,944
- I never mentioned
- anybody else.
- 1868
- 01:33:36,445 --> 01:33:38,364
- It's like everybody
- already knows the story.
- 1869
- 01:33:38,531 --> 01:33:39,740
- Yeah.
- 1870
- 01:33:39,824 --> 01:33:42,118
- Except us.
- And we work right there.
- 1871
- 01:33:45,955 --> 01:33:47,373
- Judge Volterra?
- Yes.
- 1872
- 01:33:47,540 --> 01:33:49,709
- Hi, I'm Mike Rezendes
- from <i>The Boston Globe.</i>
- 1873
- 01:33:50,209 --> 01:33:51,419
- Um, I'm having
- some trouble
- 1874
- 01:33:51,502 --> 01:33:52,628
- accessing some
- public records
- 1875
- 01:33:52,795 --> 01:33:53,879
- down in the
- records room.
- 1876
- 01:33:53,963 --> 01:33:56,215
- I was wondering if I could
- have a word with you?
- 1877
- 01:33:56,299 --> 01:33:58,217
- All right.
- Thank you.
- 1878
- 01:34:00,594 --> 01:34:01,595
- Thank you very much.
- 1879
- 01:34:03,222 --> 01:34:06,559
- These exhibits you're after,
- Mr. Rezendes,
- 1880
- 01:34:07,560 --> 01:34:09,061
- they're very
- sensitive records.
- 1881
- 01:34:09,895 --> 01:34:11,230
- With all due respect,
- Your Honor,
- 1882
- 01:34:11,314 --> 01:34:13,232
- that's not the question.
- 1883
- 01:34:13,316 --> 01:34:14,567
- The records are public.
- 1884
- 01:34:15,901 --> 01:34:18,070
- Maybe so, but tell me,
- 1885
- 01:34:18,487 --> 01:34:20,406
- where's the editorial
- responsibility
- 1886
- 01:34:20,531 --> 01:34:22,408
- in publishing
- records of this nature?
- 1887
- 01:34:22,742 --> 01:34:26,871
- Well, where's the editorial
- responsibility in not publishing them?
- 1888
- 01:34:36,881 --> 01:34:39,342
- You can't take those.
- You need to make copies.
- 1889
- 01:34:39,425 --> 01:34:40,801
- I'm going to the copy room.
- 1890
- 01:34:40,885 --> 01:34:42,720
- It closed at 4:00.
- 1891
- 01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:48,976
- Look, I'll give you
- 1892
- 01:34:51,020 --> 01:34:52,730
- 83 bucks to use yours.
- 1893
- 01:34:58,819 --> 01:35:01,322
- Hey, cabbie!
- 1894
- 01:35:01,405 --> 01:35:04,408
- Hey! Hey! Hey!
- 1895
- 01:35:07,036 --> 01:35:09,830
- Take me to <i>The Boston Globe</i>
- on Morrissey Boulevard.
- 1896
- 01:35:09,914 --> 01:35:13,000
- Don't take 93.
- Take Dorchester Avenue.

- when did Gallant write her letter?
- 1928
- 01:36:33,289 --> 01:36:35,249
- 1984.
- And Law just ignored it.
- 1929

- How do you ignore
- that freakin' letter?
- 1930
- 01:36:37,835 --> 01:36:39,170
- We got 'em.
- 1931
- 01:36:39,378 --> 01:36:42,047
- You can't read these letters and
- think anything else. It's proof.
- 1932
- 01:36:42,131 --> 01:36:43,883
- Yeah. It is.
- 1933
- 01:36:44,800 --> 01:36:46,302
- This is good work.
- 1934
- 01:36:46,886 --> 01:36:48,471

- 01:36:49,180 --> 01:36:50,181
- Uh...
- 1936
- 01:36:50,264 --> 01:36:51,932
- No. Not yet.
- 1937
- 01:36:52,600 --> 01:36:55,686
- Why not?
- We got Law. This is it.
- 1938
- 01:36:56,228 --> 01:36:57,980
- No, this is Law
- covering for one priest.
- 1939
- 01:36:58,063 --> 01:36:59,356
- There's another
- 90 out there.
- 1940
- 01:36:59,690 --> 01:37:01,442
- Yeah, and we'll print
- that story when we get it,
- 1941
- 01:37:01,525 --> 01:37:02,725
- but we gotta go with this now.
- 1942
- 01:37:03,152 --> 01:37:04,987
- No, I'm not going to
- rush this story, Mike.
- 1943
- 01:37:05,070 --> 01:37:06,322
- We don't have
- a choice, Robby.
- 1944
- 01:37:06,655 --> 01:37:08,073
- If we don't rush to print,
- 1945
- 01:37:08,157 --> 01:37:10,743
- somebody else is gonna find these
- letters and butcher the story.
- 1946

- Joe Quimby from the <i>Herald</i>
- 1947
- 01:37:12,203 --> 01:37:13,746
- was at the
- freakin' courthouse.
- 1948
- 01:37:13,996 --> 01:37:15,581
- So we'll write
- a holding story,
- 1949
- 01:37:15,664 --> 01:37:16,874
- and we'll keep our
- eye on the <i>Herald.</i>
- 1950
- 01:37:16,957 --> 01:37:18,042
- Keep our eye on the <i>Herald?</i>
- 1951
- 01:37:18,125 --> 01:37:20,836
- They run this and they get it wrong,
- the Church will bury it.
- 1952
- 01:37:20,920 --> 01:37:22,880
- We gotta do this now.
- Mike, Mike...
- 1953
- 01:37:22,963 --> 01:37:25,382
- What? Why are we hesitating?
- 1954
- 01:37:25,466 --> 01:37:27,676
- Baron told us to get Law.
- This is Law.
- 1955
- 01:37:27,760 --> 01:37:29,637
- Baron told us to
- get the system.
- 1956
- 01:37:29,720 --> 01:37:31,305
- We need the full scope.
- 1957
- 01:37:31,388 --> 01:37:33,516
- That's the only thing
- that will put an end to this.
- 1958
- 01:37:33,641 --> 01:37:35,401
- Then let's take it up
- to Ben, let him decide.
- 1959
- 01:37:35,601 --> 01:37:37,353
- We'll take it to Ben
- when I say it's time.
- 1960
- 01:37:37,436 --> 01:37:39,980
- It's time, Robby. It's time!
- 1961
- 01:37:41,273 --> 01:37:44,860
- They knew and they
- let it happen. To kids!
- 1962
- 01:37:45,611 --> 01:37:48,113
- Okay? It could've been you!
- It could've been me!
- 1963
- 01:37:48,197 --> 01:37:50,241
- It could have been any of us!
- 1964
- 01:37:51,033 --> 01:37:52,618
- We gotta nail these scumbags!
- 1965
- 01:37:52,701 --> 01:37:55,829
- We gotta show people that
- nobody can get away with this!
- 1966
- 01:37:55,913 --> 01:37:59,250
- Not a priest or a Cardinal
- or a freaking Pope!
- 1967
- 01:38:02,044 --> 01:38:03,087
- You finished?
- 1968
- 01:38:04,046 --> 01:38:06,882
- Yeah, I am. This is bullshit.
- 1969
- 01:38:27,027 --> 01:38:28,028
- Oh...
- 1970
- 01:38:36,662 --> 01:38:37,663
- You okay?
- 1971
- 01:38:40,666 --> 01:38:42,251
- Mmm...
- 1972
- 01:38:48,257 --> 01:38:49,300
- Hey, Hansi.
- 1973
- 01:38:50,134 --> 01:38:52,052
- Hard day at work, Mike?
- 1974
- 01:38:56,599 --> 01:38:58,183
- Here.
- Thank you.
- 1975
- 01:38:59,059 --> 01:39:01,604
- I don't know why
- I got so pissed off.
- 1976
- 01:39:01,687 --> 01:39:03,105
- You know, I think
- Robby's wrong.
- 1977
- 01:39:03,188 --> 01:39:05,190
- You know, you're just...
- 1978
- 01:39:05,274 --> 01:39:06,942
- You care about the story, Mike.
- We all do.
- 1979
- 01:39:08,986 --> 01:39:11,196
- - Yeah, I guess.
- - Mmm.
- 1980
- 01:39:13,824 --> 01:39:15,909
- I stopped going to
- church with my Nana.
- 1981
- 01:39:17,995 --> 01:39:19,580
- It was...
- It was too hard.
- 1982
- 01:39:20,414 --> 01:39:22,374
- You know,
- I'd be sitting there,
- 1983
- 01:39:22,541 --> 01:39:24,501
- and I'd start thinking
- about Joe Crowley
- 1984
- 01:39:24,585 --> 01:39:26,211
- or someone else and I just...
- 1985
- 01:39:27,046 --> 01:39:28,255
- I just got so angry.
- 1986
- 01:39:29,632 --> 01:39:31,550
- Did you tell her why?
- 1987
- 01:39:32,968 --> 01:39:35,054
- She goes to church
- three times a week, Mike.
- 1988
- 01:39:40,184 --> 01:39:42,186
- It really pisses me off.
- 1989
- 01:39:43,604 --> 01:39:44,605
- You know,
- 1990
- 01:39:46,565 --> 01:39:49,818
- I actually really liked going to
- church when I was a little kid.
- 1991
- 01:39:50,778 --> 01:39:51,779
- Mmm.
- 1992
- 01:39:51,945 --> 01:39:53,280
- Why'd you stop?
- 1993
- 01:39:53,447 --> 01:39:54,782
- Typical shit.
- 1994
- 01:39:56,492 --> 01:39:58,619
- But the weird thing is,
- 1995
- 01:40:01,664 --> 01:40:03,248
- I think I...
- 1996
- 01:40:04,208 --> 01:40:08,587
- I think I figured that maybe one day...
- 1997
- 01:40:08,671 --> 01:40:10,714
- I would actually go back.
- 1998
- 01:40:12,675 --> 01:40:14,927
- I was really...
- I was holding on to that.
- 1999
- 01:40:15,010 --> 01:40:16,011
- Mmm.
- 2000
- 01:40:17,429 --> 01:40:20,265
- I read those letters, and...
- 2001
- 01:40:21,100 --> 01:40:24,603
- And something just cracked.
- 2002
- 01:40:26,188 --> 01:40:28,357
- It's a shitty feeling.
- Yeah.
- 2003
- 01:40:29,775 --> 01:40:31,985
- It's a shitty feeling.
- 2004
- 01:40:35,447 --> 01:40:37,116
- Looks like a long day.
- 2005
- 01:40:37,241 --> 01:40:39,535
- Hey, Pete.
- I'm sorry to make it longer.
- 2006
- 01:40:39,618 --> 01:40:40,994
- Brian.
- 2007
- 01:40:42,162 --> 01:40:44,498
- Has anyone ever said no
- to a drink with you, Pete?
- 2008
- 01:40:45,958 --> 01:40:49,461
- Well, sure.
- But the trick is to keep asking.
- 2009
- 01:40:49,712 --> 01:40:50,796
- For Boston.
- 2010
- 01:40:50,921 --> 01:40:51,964
- Boston.
- 2011
- 01:40:53,340 --> 01:40:54,341
- Mmm.
- 2012
- 01:40:54,883 --> 01:40:57,886
- So, you here
- for the Cardinal?
- 2013
- 01:40:58,220 --> 01:41:00,514
- Oh, no, no, no, no.
- I wouldn't...
- 2014
- 01:41:00,597 --> 01:41:03,183
- I wouldn't presume to speak
- for the Cardinal. No.
- 2015
- 01:41:04,977 --> 01:41:06,395
- You know,
- 2016
- 01:41:06,478 --> 01:41:08,564
- you got a lot of people here
- who respect you, Robby,
- 2017
- 01:41:08,731 --> 01:41:10,524
- the work you do.
- 2018
- 01:41:11,316 --> 01:41:12,735
- That's good to know.
- 2019
- 01:41:12,818 --> 01:41:14,570
- You know, it's because you
- care about this place.
- 2020
- 01:41:14,653 --> 01:41:16,655
- It's why you do what you do.
- It's who you are.
- 2021
- 01:41:17,865 --> 01:41:21,243
- You know,
- but people need the Church,
- 2022
- 01:41:21,326 --> 01:41:22,536
- more than ever right now.
- 2023
- 01:41:23,370 --> 01:41:24,997
- You know, you can feel it.
- 2024
- 01:41:25,581 --> 01:41:27,249
- And the Cardinal...
- 2025
- 01:41:28,667 --> 01:41:31,170
- You know, the Cardinal,
- he might not be perfect,
- 2026
- 01:41:32,212 --> 01:41:33,630
- but we can't
- throw out all the good
- 2027
- 01:41:33,714 --> 01:41:35,340
- he's doing over
- a few bad apples.
- 2028
- 01:41:37,426 --> 01:41:39,094
- Now, you know,
- I'm bringing this up to you
- 2029
- 01:41:39,261 --> 01:41:42,890
- because I know this is
- Baron's idea, his agenda.
- 2030
- 01:41:43,265 --> 01:41:44,933
- I gotta tell ya,
- I mean, honest to God,
- 2031
- 01:41:45,017 --> 01:41:47,770
- I mean, he doesn't care about
- this city the way we do.
- 2032
- 01:41:48,437 --> 01:41:49,605
- I mean, how could he?
- 2033
- 01:41:56,570 --> 01:41:59,573
- This is how it happens, isn't it, Pete?
- What's that?
- 2034
- 01:42:00,032 --> 01:42:01,575
- A guy leans on a guy,
- 2035
- 01:42:01,742 --> 01:42:03,702
- and suddenly
- the whole town
- 2036
- 01:42:03,786 --> 01:42:05,370
- just looks
- the other way.
- 2037
- 01:42:07,039 --> 01:42:10,125
- Robby. Robby, look it,
- 2038
- 01:42:11,543 --> 01:42:14,588
- Marty Baron is just
- trying to make his mark.
- 2039
- 01:42:14,671 --> 01:42:17,299
- He's gonna be here for a couple
- of years, and he's gonna move on.
- 2040
- 01:42:17,382 --> 01:42:19,760
- Just like he did in
- New York and Miami.
- 2041
- 01:42:21,804 --> 01:42:23,639
- Where're you gonna go?
- 2042
- 01:42:25,307 --> 01:42:26,308
- Hmm?
- 2043
- 01:42:28,602 --> 01:42:30,729
- Good night, Robby.
- Brian.
- 2044
- 01:42:32,064 --> 01:42:34,566
- Hey, Pete.
- Yeah?
- 2045
- 01:42:34,900 --> 01:42:35,901
- Uh...
- 2046
- 01:42:36,693 --> 01:42:40,989
- When we do run the story, uh, I'm gonna
- need a comment from the Cardinal.
- 2047
- 01:42:43,283 --> 01:42:45,744
- We'll talk again later.
- Good night, Robby.
- 2048
- 01:42:45,911 --> 01:42:47,496
- Good night, Pete.
- 2049
- 01:42:57,798 --> 01:42:59,049
- Robby.
- 2050
- 01:43:00,592 --> 01:43:01,593
- What?
- 2051
- 01:43:02,594 --> 01:43:04,680
- No shit. When?
- 2052
- 01:43:06,682 --> 01:43:08,684
- Okay. Yeah.
- 2053
- 01:43:11,728 --> 01:43:12,938
- Hey!
- 2054
- 01:43:13,939 --> 01:43:15,274
- What's up?
- 2055
- 01:43:16,441 --> 01:43:18,235
- Sweeney ruled
- in our favor.
- 2056
- 01:43:18,735 --> 01:43:20,737
- She ruled to unseal
- the documents.
- 2057
- 01:43:22,489 --> 01:43:23,490
- Jeez!
- 2058
- 01:43:27,452 --> 01:43:28,972
- The Church has already
- filed an appeal,
- 2059
- 01:43:29,121 --> 01:43:32,124
- but the trial court ruling is
- generally upheld in these matters.
- 2060
- 01:43:32,791 --> 01:43:34,668
- And when would we
- get the documents?
- 2061
- 01:43:35,669 --> 01:43:37,921
- Probably takes Cohen
- a few weeks to rule,
- 2062
- 01:43:38,005 --> 01:43:39,381
- then there's
- a redaction process.
- 2063
- 01:43:40,132 --> 01:43:43,385
- Uh, I'd say they'd be
- made public mid-January.
- 2064
- 01:43:44,094 --> 01:43:45,304
- Okay.
- All right.
- 2065
- 01:43:45,387 --> 01:43:46,471
- Thanks, Jon.
- You bet.
- 2066
- 01:43:46,555 --> 01:43:47,764
- Nice work.
- Thanks.
- 2067
- 01:43:48,432 --> 01:43:50,100
- Metro should run
- something, Marty.
- 2068
- 01:43:50,559 --> 01:43:51,894
- We can't run
- this one big.
- 2069
- 01:43:52,686 --> 01:43:55,480
- Why wouldn't we?
- It's a major First Amendment victory.
- 2070
- 01:43:55,647 --> 01:43:56,732
- Not to mention,
- you get
- 2071
- 01:43:56,815 --> 01:43:57,900
- an Irish Catholic judge
- 2072
- 01:43:58,066 --> 01:43:59,276
- ruling against the Church?
- 2073
- 01:43:59,443 --> 01:44:01,403
- - That's a hell of a precedent.
- - Mmm-hmm.
- 2074
- 01:44:02,029 --> 01:44:04,072
- We don't want the <i>Herald</i>
- going deep on this.
- 2075
- 01:44:04,907 --> 01:44:05,908
- Why's that?
- 2076
- 01:44:08,076 --> 01:44:10,203
- You're gonna have
- to step out, Peter.
- 2077
- 01:44:10,287 --> 01:44:11,788
- I'm not stepping out.
- 2078
- 01:44:20,213 --> 01:44:21,214
- Peter.
- 2079
- 01:44:35,812 --> 01:44:37,773
- When did you, uh...
- A couple of weeks ago.
- 2080
- 01:44:37,981 --> 01:44:39,483
- A couple of weeks?
- 2081
- 01:44:39,650 --> 01:44:41,234
- - Yeah.
- - And you're telling us now?
- 2082
- 01:44:41,401 --> 01:44:42,986
- These are substantial.
- 2083
- 01:44:44,112 --> 01:44:46,365
- They clearly show
- that Law was negligent.
- 2084
- 01:44:47,199 --> 01:44:49,618
- I need more time.
- I wanna keep digging.
- 2085
- 01:44:49,993 --> 01:44:51,411
- For what?
- This is the goddamn story.
- 2086
- 01:44:51,578 --> 01:44:52,663
- It's not
- the whole story.
- 2087
- 01:44:52,829 --> 01:44:54,498
- Tough shit.
- We're on a clock now.
- 2088
- 01:44:54,831 --> 01:44:55,999
- Even if we don't
- run Sweeney's ruling,
- 2089
- 01:44:56,166 --> 01:44:58,293
- another paper could find these
- letters and fuck the story.
- 2090
- 01:44:58,377 --> 01:44:59,461
- Agreed.
- 2091
- 01:44:59,544 --> 01:45:00,671
- But we run
- these letters alone,
- 2092
- 01:45:00,754 --> 01:45:02,965
- Law apologizes,
- says it's a one-time thing.
- 2093
- 01:45:03,048 --> 01:45:04,049
- He can bury it.
- 2094
- 01:45:04,257 --> 01:45:07,052
- How? These clearly show he
- knew and did nothing about it.
- 2095
- 01:45:07,135 --> 01:45:10,222
- Look, I'm close to
- stories on 70 priests.
- 2096
- 01:45:10,889 --> 01:45:13,475
- We nail that,
- along with those letters,
- 2097
- 01:45:13,642 --> 01:45:16,395
- this is proof
- this is bigger than Law.
- 2098
- 01:45:17,104 --> 01:45:18,563
- It's the whole system.
- 2099
- 01:45:19,523 --> 01:45:22,025
- You have multiple sources
- confirming all those priests?
- 2100
- 01:45:22,859 --> 01:45:24,528
- On some. I can get more.
- 2101
- 01:45:24,736 --> 01:45:27,572
- Too risky. If we're not buttoned
- up on every single one of them,
- 2102
- 01:45:27,739 --> 01:45:29,241
- the Church will pick us apart.
- 2103
- 01:45:31,118 --> 01:45:32,160
- I think I can get us someone
- 2104
- 01:45:32,244 --> 01:45:33,524
- from the other
- side of the aisle.
- 2105
- 01:45:33,996 --> 01:45:35,580
- Somebody inside the Church?
- 2106
- 01:45:36,498 --> 01:45:37,666
- Yeah, a lawyer.
- 2107
- 01:45:38,166 --> 01:45:39,543
- Will he go on the record?
- 2108
- 01:45:39,626 --> 01:45:42,587
- Deep background.
- But he's a solid source.
- 2109
- 01:45:46,383 --> 01:45:48,301
- Rezendes needs time
- to write the story.
- 2110
- 01:45:48,927 --> 01:45:51,430
- We don't wanna drop it at
- Christmas, not after 9/11.
- 2111
- 01:45:52,806 --> 01:45:54,516
- We could run it
- just after New Year's,
- 2112
- 01:45:55,100 --> 01:45:57,310
- before they release
- the rest of the documents.
- 2113
- 01:46:01,023 --> 01:46:02,024
- All right.
- 2114
- 01:46:03,191 --> 01:46:05,694
- Tell Canellos to bury
- the ruling in Metro.
- 2115
- 01:46:07,571 --> 01:46:08,989
- You got six weeks.
- 2116
- 01:46:09,823 --> 01:46:11,408
- Thank you.
- 2117
- 01:46:11,783 --> 01:46:13,785
- Tell Mike I want
- a draft by Christmas.
- 2118
- 01:46:14,369 --> 01:46:16,038
- And we need a response
- from Lake Street.
- 2119
- 01:46:16,204 --> 01:46:18,415
- Who does PR for the Cardinal?
- Still John Walsh?
- 2120
- 01:46:18,582 --> 01:46:20,125
- No, somebody new,
- Donna Morrisey.
- 2121
- 01:46:20,208 --> 01:46:21,877
- She came from TV.
- She's young.
- 2122
- 01:46:21,960 --> 01:46:23,045
- Good, get a quote.
- 2123
- 01:46:23,128 --> 01:46:24,755
- We need something from Law
- to appear even-handed.
- 2124
- 01:46:24,921 --> 01:46:27,132
- Robby, next time give
- me a goddamn heads-up.
- 2125
- 01:46:27,299 --> 01:46:28,508
- Will do.
- 2126
- 01:46:29,593 --> 01:46:35,474

- 01:47:51,800 --> 01:47:53,844
- Oh, Robby.
- What a nice surprise.
- 2139
- 01:47:54,719 --> 01:47:56,221
- Come on in.
- 2140
- 01:48:02,727 --> 01:48:05,397
- Hey, hon, look who
- I found outside.
- 2141
- 01:48:08,567 --> 01:48:09,818
- Karen, can you
- give us a minute?
- 2142
- 01:48:12,154 --> 01:48:13,238
- Sure.
- 2143
- 01:48:13,864 --> 01:48:14,990
- Good to see you, Karen.
- 2144
- 01:48:18,076 --> 01:48:19,077
- What's up?
- 2145
- 01:48:34,593 --> 01:48:36,219
- I'm out of time, Jim.
- 2146
- 01:48:37,429 --> 01:48:40,223
- We've got cover-up
- stories on 70 priests,
- 2147
- 01:48:40,682 --> 01:48:42,684
- but the boss
- isn't gonna run it
- 2148
- 01:48:42,809 --> 01:48:44,853
- unless I get confirmation
- from your side.
- 2149
- 01:48:47,063 --> 01:48:48,857
- Are you out of your mind?
- 2150
- 01:48:49,024 --> 01:48:51,276
- Come on.
- This is our town, Jimmy.
- 2151
- 01:48:51,693 --> 01:48:55,447
- Everybody knew something was going on,
- and no one did a thing.
- 2152
- 01:48:56,698 --> 01:48:57,738
- We gotta put an end to it.
- 2153
- 01:48:58,116 --> 01:49:00,118
- Don't tell me
- what I gotta do.
- 2154
- 01:49:00,785 --> 01:49:03,622
- Yeah, I helped defend these scumbags,
- but that's my job, Robby.
- 2155
- 01:49:03,872 --> 01:49:05,957
- I was doing my job!
- 2156
- 01:49:07,125 --> 01:49:08,126
- Yeah.
- 2157
- 01:49:09,461 --> 01:49:10,921
- You and everyone else.
- 2158
- 01:49:19,804 --> 01:49:21,306
- Get out of my house.
- 2159
- 01:49:32,400 --> 01:49:33,401
- Hey!
- 2160
- 01:49:35,487 --> 01:49:37,906
- You come to my home
- and lay this shit on me!
- 2161
- 01:49:39,157 --> 01:49:40,492
- You were right, Robby.
- 2162
- 01:49:41,326 --> 01:49:43,453
- We all knew somethin'
- was going on.
- 2163
- 01:49:44,162 --> 01:49:45,622
- So where were you?
- 2164
- 01:49:46,790 --> 01:49:48,333
- What took you so long?
- 2165
- 01:49:54,839 --> 01:49:56,675
- I don't know, Jim.
- 2166
- 01:50:01,554 --> 01:50:02,722
- Give me the list.
- 2167
- 01:50:59,487 --> 01:51:01,197
- Larry, we're going
- to press in six hours.
- 2168
- 01:51:01,281 --> 01:51:02,324
- Donna Morrisey
- said she'd called us
- 2169
- 01:51:02,407 --> 01:51:03,647
- with a quote
- from Law hours ago.
- 2170
- 01:51:03,700 --> 01:51:05,702
- That's what I thought.
- When did you talk to her?
- 2171
- 01:51:06,202 --> 01:51:07,537
- Okay, okay, Larry.
- 2172
- 01:51:08,204 --> 01:51:09,956
- Yeah. Yeah, that's
- good to know.
- 2173
- 01:51:10,582 --> 01:51:12,334
- Thanks, Pete.
- Anything?
- 2174
- 01:51:12,917 --> 01:51:15,757
- Conley said Donna Morrisey should have
- called, he just left Lake Street.
- 2175
- 01:51:15,920 --> 01:51:17,839
- Yeah, Rasky said
- the same thing.
- 2176
- 01:51:17,922 --> 01:51:19,924
- This is ridiculous. You'd think
- they'd wanna get ahead of this.
- 2177
- 01:51:20,008 --> 01:51:21,634
- I mean, they'd be
- idiots not to.
- 2178
- 01:51:22,260 --> 01:51:25,388
- I would love to see their faces
- when they read this thing then.
- 2179
- 01:51:25,555 --> 01:51:27,557
- You know, Sunday's the
- feast of the Epiphany.
- 2180
- 01:51:28,224 --> 01:51:30,435
- It seems appropriate.
- 2181
- 01:51:35,857 --> 01:51:36,858
- Mike Rezendes.
- 2182
- 01:51:38,818 --> 01:51:41,237
- Hey, Donna.
- Thanks for calling.
- 2183
- 01:51:41,321 --> 01:51:44,282
- Yeah, I just had a few questions
- if you have a minute.
- 2184
- 01:51:46,201 --> 01:51:47,202
- What?
- 2185
- 01:51:48,828 --> 01:51:50,997
- What?
- Another adjective.
- 2186
- 01:51:52,832 --> 01:51:54,793
- Anything?
- Law just turned us down.
- 2187
- 01:51:54,959 --> 01:51:56,294
- Jesus Christ.
- 2188
- 01:51:56,461 --> 01:51:58,004
- I just got off the phone
- with Donna Morrisey.
- 2189
- 01:51:58,088 --> 01:52:00,423
- She said, quote,
- we don't even want to know
- 2190
- 01:52:00,507 --> 01:52:01,827
- what the questions are,
- end quote.
- 2191
- 01:52:01,966 --> 01:52:03,885
- She really said that?
- Yeah.
- 2192
- 01:52:04,135 --> 01:52:05,136
- Well, that oughta do it.
- 2193
- 01:52:05,303 --> 01:52:06,679
- "The Church
- had no interest
- 2194
- 01:52:06,846 --> 01:52:09,849
- "in knowing what the <i>Globe's</i>
- questions would be."
- 2195
- 01:52:11,184 --> 01:52:13,520
- Work it in somewhere before the jump.
- Anything else?
- 2196
- 01:52:13,978 --> 01:52:15,730
- Uh, Matt wants to put
- the letters online,
- 2197
- 01:52:15,814 --> 01:52:17,315
- so the readers can
- see for themselves.
- 2198
- 01:52:17,774 --> 01:52:19,776
- We can run the URL at the
- bottom of the article.
- 2199
- 01:52:19,943 --> 01:52:21,736
- It's pretty straightforward.
- Okay.
- 2200
- 01:52:21,903 --> 01:52:23,988
- We also put the Spotlight tip
- line at the end of the story
- 2201
- 01:52:24,155 --> 01:52:25,365
- so people can call in.
- 2202
- 01:52:25,448 --> 01:52:26,741
- Goes directly to our office.
- 2203
- 01:52:26,991 --> 01:52:29,160
- Matt and I can go in in the
- morning in case we get any calls.
- 2204
- 01:52:29,327 --> 01:52:31,487
- Yeah, I'm more concerned about
- the phones at reception.
- 2205
- 01:52:31,579 --> 01:52:32,747
- After we ran
- the Porter case,
- 2206
- 01:52:32,831 --> 01:52:34,666
- the message centers
- were tied up for weeks.
- 2207
- 01:52:34,833 --> 01:52:36,673
- It's a real problem.
- There were picketers, too.
- 2208
- 01:52:36,960 --> 01:52:38,044
- Lots of 'em.
- 2209
- 01:52:38,128 --> 01:52:40,547
- I'll talk to Richard about
- the security and the phones.
- 2210
- 01:52:40,797 --> 01:52:43,216
- Uh, how are we coming
- on the folo story?
- 2211
- 01:52:44,175 --> 01:52:45,593
- Well, we've nailed
- down multiple stories
- 2212
- 01:52:45,677 --> 01:52:46,678
- on 70 priests.
- 2213
- 01:52:47,887 --> 01:52:49,180
- - All 70?
- - Mmm-hmm.
- 2214
- 01:52:49,597 --> 01:52:52,157
- And with the confirmation from
- Robby's source, we're ready to go.
- 2215
- 01:52:52,308 --> 01:52:53,468
- We can have
- a draft next week.
- 2216
- 01:52:53,518 --> 01:52:56,104
- Uh, Robby, that
- source of yours,
- 2217
- 01:52:56,187 --> 01:52:57,467
- is it something
- we could revisit?
- 2218
- 01:52:59,983 --> 01:53:01,151
- He might be tough.
- 2219
- 01:53:01,234 --> 01:53:02,794
- But he has no problem
- helping the Church
- 2220
- 01:53:02,902 --> 01:53:04,446
- protect dozens
- of dirty priests.
- 2221
- 01:53:04,612 --> 01:53:07,240
- Guy's a scumbag.
- He's a lawyer, he's doing his job.
- 2222
- 01:53:07,407 --> 01:53:08,533
- He's a shill
- for the Church.
- 2223
- 01:53:08,700 --> 01:53:09,826
- He knew
- and did nothing.
- 2224
- 01:53:09,993 --> 01:53:12,328
- He could've said something years ago.
- Maybe saved some lives.
- 2225
- 01:53:12,412 --> 01:53:13,663
- What about us?
- 2226
- 01:53:15,123 --> 01:53:16,291
- What's that
- supposed to mean?
- 2227
- 01:53:16,666 --> 01:53:18,793
- We had all the pieces.
- 2228
- 01:53:18,877 --> 01:53:19,997
- Why didn't we get it sooner?
- 2229
- 01:53:20,295 --> 01:53:21,296
- We didn't have
- all the pieces.
- 2230
- 01:53:21,463 --> 01:53:24,466
- We had Saviano,
- we had Barrett, we had Geoghan.
- 2231
- 01:53:24,549 --> 01:53:26,069
- We had the directories
- in the basement.
- 2232
- 01:53:26,384 --> 01:53:27,504
- You know what?
- We got it now.
- 2233
- 01:53:27,552 --> 01:53:29,637
- Robby, the story
- needed Spotlight.
- 2234
- 01:53:30,472 --> 01:53:32,807
- Mike, Spotlight's
- been around since 1970.
- 2235
- 01:53:33,057 --> 01:53:36,186
- So what? We couldn't see the scope of this.
- No one could.
- 2236
- 01:53:36,269 --> 01:53:38,438
- Robby, this started
- with one goddamn priest.
- 2237
- 01:53:41,232 --> 01:53:43,943
- Macleish sent us a letter
- on 20 priests, years ago.
- 2238
- 01:53:44,110 --> 01:53:45,820
- Sacha found the clip.
- 2239
- 01:53:46,571 --> 01:53:48,031
- You freaking kidding me?
- 20 priests?
- 2240
- 01:53:48,656 --> 01:53:49,699
- When?
- 2241
- 01:53:51,242 --> 01:53:53,786
- Uh, just after Porter.
- December '93.
- 2242
- 01:53:54,120 --> 01:53:56,372
- We buried the story
- in Metro. No folo.
- 2243
- 01:53:57,790 --> 01:53:59,125
- That was you.
- 2244
- 01:54:01,127 --> 01:54:02,253
- You were Metro.
- 2245
- 01:54:03,421 --> 01:54:05,423
- Yeah. That was me.
- 2246
- 01:54:06,299 --> 01:54:08,718
- I'd just taken over.
- I don't remember it at all.
- 2247
- 01:54:10,261 --> 01:54:11,596
- But yeah...
- 2248
- 01:54:15,099 --> 01:54:16,476
- Um...
- 2249
- 01:54:16,559 --> 01:54:19,062
- Can I say something here?
- 2250
- 01:54:20,730 --> 01:54:22,273
- Sometimes it's
- easy to forget
- 2251
- 01:54:22,440 --> 01:54:25,193
- that we spend most of our time
- stumbling around in the dark.
- 2252
- 01:54:26,361 --> 01:54:28,196
- Suddenly a light
- gets turned on,
- 2253
- 01:54:28,279 --> 01:54:30,657
- and there's a fair share
- of blame to go around.
- 2254
- 01:54:32,784 --> 01:54:35,078
- I can't speak to what
- happened before I arrived,
- 2255
- 01:54:36,871 --> 01:54:39,541
- but, um, all of you have done
- some very good reporting here.
- 2256
- 01:54:40,458 --> 01:54:43,461
- Reporting that I believe
- is gonna have an immediate
- 2257
- 01:54:43,795 --> 01:54:46,798
- and considerable
- impact on our readers.
- 2258
- 01:54:48,258 --> 01:54:51,511
- For me, this kind of story
- is why we do this.
- 2259
- 01:54:52,262 --> 01:54:55,223
- Having said that, Cardinal Law
- and the Catholic community
- 2260
- 01:54:55,390 --> 01:54:57,642
- are gonna have a very
- strong response to this.
- 2261
- 01:54:58,977 --> 01:55:00,979
- So if you need a moment,
- 2262
- 01:55:02,021 --> 01:55:03,022
- you've earned it.
- 2263
- 01:55:05,358 --> 01:55:07,485
- But I will need you
- back here Monday morning
- 2264
- 01:55:07,569 --> 01:55:10,989
- focused and ready
- to do your job.
- 2265
- 01:55:19,205 --> 01:55:20,206
- Leaving?
- 2266
- 01:55:21,082 --> 01:55:22,083
- Yeah.
- 2267
- 01:55:27,839 --> 01:55:30,258
- I, uh, just got a call
- from the Cardinal.
- 2268
- 01:55:30,675 --> 01:55:32,510
- Really. Why?
- 2269
- 01:55:32,594 --> 01:55:33,970
- He wanted to
- tell me personally
- 2270
- 01:55:34,095 --> 01:55:35,430
- that he decided
- not to comment.
- 2271
- 01:55:36,180 --> 01:55:40,685
- Yeah, said he wanted to
- extend me that courtesy.
- 2272
- 01:55:40,852 --> 01:55:43,605
- Jesus, the balls on that guy.
- What did you say?
- 2273
- 01:55:44,355 --> 01:55:45,982
- I told him he was
- making a mistake,
- 2274
- 01:55:46,065 --> 01:55:47,734
- and that we were
- gonna run the story.
- 2275
- 01:55:47,900 --> 01:55:49,527
- Damn right we're
- gonna run it.
- 2276
- 01:56:14,552 --> 01:56:16,429
- Sacha, can I have
- a drink of water?
- 2277
- 01:56:17,639 --> 01:56:20,016
- Yeah. Sure, Nana. Yeah.
- 2278
- 01:56:31,277 --> 01:56:32,612
- Can I keep this?
- 2279
- 01:56:34,113 --> 01:56:35,239
- Sure.
- 2280
- 01:56:36,074 --> 01:56:37,825
- I thought you
- should see it first.
- 2281
- 01:56:37,950 --> 01:56:39,452
- Thank you for
- bringing it by.
- 2282
- 01:56:42,413 --> 01:56:44,916
- I have some clients
- I have to attend to.
- 2283
- 01:57:02,975 --> 01:57:04,644
- Both kids were abused.
- 2284
- 01:57:05,186 --> 01:57:07,188
- Jamaica Plain.
- Two weeks ago.
- 2285
- 01:57:09,190 --> 01:57:12,860
- Keep doing your work,
- Mr. Rezendes.
- 2286
- 01:57:14,779 --> 01:57:16,614
- - Hello.
- - Hello.
- 2287
- 01:57:16,781 --> 01:57:19,200
- How are you guys doing?
- We're good.
- 2288
- 01:57:19,659 --> 01:57:20,660
- Good.
- 2289
- 01:58:07,540 --> 01:58:09,542
- Hey.
- Morning.
- 2290
- 01:58:10,293 --> 01:58:11,461
- How'd you sleep?
- 2291
- 01:58:12,295 --> 01:58:13,838
- Not very well. You?
- 2292
- 01:58:14,046 --> 01:58:15,882
- I haven't slept well for months.
- Mmm.
- 2293
- 01:58:17,508 --> 01:58:19,886
- Oh, thanks.
- I actually started writing.
- 2294
- 01:58:20,678 --> 01:58:22,805
- Writing?
- Yeah, I've been working on a book.
- 2295
- 01:58:22,889 --> 01:58:24,682
- Gives me something
- else to focus on.
- 2296
- 01:58:24,849 --> 01:58:26,058
- What kind of book?
- 2297
- 01:58:26,350 --> 01:58:27,894
- Horror.
- 2298
- 01:58:34,692 --> 01:58:35,735
- Spotlight.
- 2299
- 01:58:37,153 --> 01:58:39,447
- Yeah.
- Yeah, of course.
- 2300
- 01:58:39,530 --> 01:58:40,990
- Can I get your
- name, please?
- 2301
- 01:58:57,673 --> 01:58:59,091
- You do know
- it's Sunday, right?
- 2302
- 01:58:59,258 --> 01:59:00,885
- I couldn't get
- a tee time.
- 2303
- 01:59:03,888 --> 01:59:05,765
- No picketers.
- Yeah.
- 2304
- 01:59:06,390 --> 01:59:08,184
- Probably still at church.
- 2305
- 01:59:10,561 --> 01:59:11,938
- Hey, Linda.
- 2306
- 01:59:12,188 --> 01:59:13,272
- It's quiet, huh?
- 2307
- 01:59:13,356 --> 01:59:15,775
- Yeah, easiest
- overtime I ever made.
- 2308
- 01:59:15,858 --> 01:59:16,901
- Phone hasn't rung once.
- 2309
- 01:59:17,401 --> 01:59:19,445
- Marty sent two of mine
- down to Spotlight.
- 2310
- 01:59:23,241 --> 01:59:25,076
- - Great article, guys.
- - Thank you.
- 2311
- 01:59:25,743 --> 01:59:26,911
- Spotlight?
- 2312
- 01:59:50,476 --> 01:59:52,186
- Okay. Send him over.
- 2313
- 01:59:52,270 --> 01:59:53,396
- Spotlight,
- can I help you?
- 2314
- 01:59:53,479 --> 01:59:54,939
- Phones have been
- ringing all morning.
- 2315
- 01:59:57,775 --> 01:59:59,402
- Mike, can you grab that?
- Yeah, yeah.
- 2316
- 02:00:00,736 --> 02:00:02,738
- They're almost
- all victims, Robby.
- 2317
- 02:00:05,157 --> 02:00:06,659
- I'm sorry
- to make you wait.
- 2318
- 02:00:09,996 --> 02:00:11,330
- It's very tough to
- talk about, I know...
- 2319
- 02:00:11,497 --> 02:00:13,082
- Yes, you can
- reach me here...
- 2320
- 02:00:13,958 --> 02:00:15,293
- This is Spotlight.
- 2321
- 02:00:30,808 --> 02:00:31,934
- Spotlight.
