The Lie
INT. CHURCH. DAY
FATHER MIGUEL appears at dawn with a bottle in his hand, keeps it, arranges his hair. The faithful arrive.
FATHER MIGUEL
Let’s pray…
The ecclesiastical music begins. JONAH goes to communion. FATHER MICHAEL places his host in his mouth and leaves his fingers on his lips.
BLACK OUT
INT. CHURCH / CONFESSIONAL DAY
Jonah leaves the confessional very moved with his palms together.
Lola arrives. Jonah lowers his eyes and hastens his step.
LOLA
Father I have sinned from thought word work and omission.
FATHER MIGUEL
Let’s see daughter, tell me your sins.
Sounds Painted Black of the Rolling’s Stones
LOLA says his sins while FATHER MIGUEL gets excited and the member gets comfortable.
Turn down the music.
LOLA
And forgive me too for giving so much torment to you I’m sorry to make you go through all this father. I’m very sorry for that ...
FATHER MIGUEL
If you want to purify yourself, you must follow the Lord’s path. Who is God’s representative on earth?
LOLA
You?
FATHER MIGUEL
That’s right ... then your faith towards the Lord must be reflected in the full confidence you have for me and you will have me forever.
LOLA
Of course father. That’s right and it will.
FATHER MIGUEL
You can go in peace
LOLA
But father has not given me penance.
FATHER MIGUEL
I know, you must come today at midnight. Nobody should know. It is part of penance. Nobody should know ... Bring as much as you can of liquor.
LOLA
Any class?
FATHER MIGUEL
Yes, any but everything you can.
INT. CHURCH. NIGHT
LOLA arrives with a bag full of different bottles.
The father lets her get in.
FATHER MIGUEL
Did anyone see you?
LOLA
No father, nobody saw me
FATHER MIGUEL
Are you sure nobody saw you? Did anyone see you?
LOLA
No, of course not.
FATHER MIGUEL
Well ... Now turn around. Imagine that I’m not here. And I told you in detail what you have done, what is your worst sin. God give you light this and all the days of your life ... Tell me!
LOLA
I feel that I was born bad, I was born perverse ... and I feel I can not change it father ...
Acting with sad music telling how bad it feels.
Turn down the music.
LOLA
... Because, I ... I’ve been very bad ...
FATHER MIGUEL
There is nothing in the world that God cannot forgive you and remember that through me you will get the door to heaven. If you really want to get it you have to learn to follow instructions.
LOLA
I understand father and I am willing to fulfill all that is necessary.
FATHER MIGUEL
Continue ...
LOLA
I have thought and dreamed everything unimaginable so many times that I feel I have transformed in the devil himself.
FATHER MIGUEL
The best way to begin to eliminate all that evil you have inside is telling me.
LOLA
Well ... but I must confess that I do not know where to start.
FATHER MIGUEL
The first thing that brings you to mind is fine.
LOLA
Well, the first thing that comes to mind is my mind. I have dark thoughts ... I imagine it taking me complete ... touching me, kissing me.
FATHER MIGUEL
And who is that man.
LOLA turns and looks into the eyes of Father Miguel.
LOLA
That man is you.
FATHER MIGUEL
Continue ... Imagine that I am not ... that you are talking to God.
LOLA
I dream at night ... I open up, I touch ... you kiss me, you bathe me with the melted wax of the candles ... you spank me, you pull my hair ...
Music y Lola does an acting of lust.
Turn down the music
FATHER MIGUEL
Good start in this path of healing ... Now to purify yourself, you must do everything your imagination dictates to you until you are satisfied. Remember that all this is to be able to clean all the evil that you carry inside.
LOLA
But father, you do not deserve to receive all this crap.
FATHER MIGUEL
What corresponds to me, is to fulfill the highest responsibility that the Lord has given me to forgive you. Purify yourself of all this evil.
LOLA
Oh father you are so good, I feel protected and saved here with you.
FATHER MIGUEL
Now turn off the light.
Lust audio is heard.
FATHER MIGUEL
You must get dressed and leave soon, before dawn. And remember no one should see you or enter or leave here ...
The light turns on.
FATHER MIGUEL
Remember what I always tell you ... If they discover you, you will never be able to cleanse your sins and you will be dirty and cursed forever ...
LOLA
No father, do not tell me that, that gives me terror, I’ve always come with care, secretly because I want to be pure to be a good wife someday. I’m leaving, father. Give me the blessing.
FATHER MIGUEL
God accompany her on the path of light.
LOLA
Amen.
Lola leaves the church.
INT. CHURCH. NIGHT
LOLA
Father I am feeling better after so many years cleaning my spirit with you I feel cleaner and purer. In fact I have to confess a good news ... that I’m dating a guy ... he seems very good, he takes care of me and protects me, I feel as safe as I am with you. I think I’m healing my father, really thank you very much for your unconditional love and protection.
FATHER MIGUEL
You must make sure you are completely clean before falling in love.
LOLA
I think father I am already in love. They have hit me
FATHER MIGUEL
Then you should try not to become intimate until you are pure again.
LOLA
I will do so…
FATHER MIGUEL beckons her to sit down.
FATHER MIGUEL
What you think?
LOLA
Today father everything is more beautiful, clearer. I no longer have bad thoughts, I just want to go to the park with my beloved. spend my life with him, that’s just what I have in my head.
FATHER MIGUEL
You’re sick, you’re sick but do not you realize? That’s the way the devil is, he tricks you, and at the least moment thought ... pun! It will make you fall back into the trap. We must move forward and do all the necessary purifications to root out your sins.
LOLA
Of course, father, that’s what I love the most ...
FATHER MIGUEL
Turn off the light
They finish.
FATHER MIGUEL
God bless you, protect you and favor you.
LOLA
Amen
FATHER MIGUEL
Daughter...
LOLA
What’s going on?
FATHER MIGUEL
The panties ... And hurry that is dawning.
INT CHURCH NIGHT
LOLA
Father
FATHER MIGUEL
Tell me
LOLA
I want to get married
FATHER MIGUEL
Are you sure
LOLA
I’m in love ... well at least I think ...
FATHER MIGUEL
You are in serious trouble.
LOLA
You believe?
FATHER MIGUEL
I do not have the slightest doubt.
LOLA
Why does he say those things father? It is scaring me, and I do not want to retreat spiritually.
FATHER MIGUEL
Well, then you will have to go step by step and very carefully.
LOLA
I will do what father tells me.
FATHER MIGUEL
The first thing is to investigate everything you can about that man because to make such an important decision as to spend the rest of your life with him, you must first know who he is, where he comes from and especially what his intentions are for you. So from now on you have to inform me everything ... remember that I am God on earth and if you hide something, you will go back and burn in hell.
LOLA
Please, father, do not speak to me like that, I promise not to disappoint you.
FATHER MIGUEL
Do not promise anything, meet daughter, comply with facts ... the words are very distant from the facts.
LOLA
I will do it, I will not say more.
FATHER MIGUEL
Have you had impure thoughts?
LOLA
The truth is not my lord. If you have them, you will be the first to know.
FATHER MIGUEL
So ... go with God.
LOLA
Thank you father, thanks for all your advice.
INT. CHURCH. DAY
LOLA
Father let me introduce Jonah my companion.
FATHER MIGUEL
God bless you in the name of the Lord.
JONAH
An honor to meet you. Lola talks a lot about you. It has truly been a powerful light in your life.
FATHER MIGUEL
By God, I’m just a humble shepherd who guides a flock, nothing more ... And Your Jonah, who are you?
JONAH
Me? Well, I’m Jonah ...
FATHER MIGUEL
I did not ask your name, I asked you who you are ...
JONAH
I’m a good psychology student sir ...
FATHER MIGUEL
I did not ask you what you do ... only who you are.
JONAH
When you have the right answer, you will be the first to know.
FATHER MIGUEL
God be with you.
JONAH
Thanks, father.
LOLA
Goodbye father.
INT. CHURCH NIGHT
LOLA
I have to confess something important
FATHER MIGUEL
Let’s see tell me
LOLA
I do not know if I have forgiveness
FATHER MIGUEl
We have already spoken, there is nothing in the world that God can not forgive.
LOLA
And you father? Would you forgive me?
FATHER MIGUEL
What are you talking about?
LOLA
I have committed the worst fault and I have lost it ... I lost it forever ...
FATHER MIGUEL
My girl, how long have we known each other? I’m sure God will help us solve everything, I have no doubt about it. Tell me what happened.
LOLA
I had talked a lot about you. Sure without the details about what you already know. But yesterday we started to drink something and I felt a bit sentimental and I do not know exactly what I said. Then Jonah cavalierly took me to one of the rooms in the house and wrapped me up. When I woke up the next day ... He was not a father ... he abandoned me father ...
FATHER MIGUEL
But are you sure? Maybe he went to college, or had a commitment to fulfill.
LOLA
No father, he left me.
FATHER MIGUEL
When was the last time you saw him?
LOLA
Today, father ... he told me that if I did not tell him everything, Father would immediately end up with me ... and I did not know what to do ... he pushed me a lot, he was upset, he insisted, he asked me. I was very afraid like never before. I thought he would hit me.
FATHER MIGUEL
Did it hurt you?
LOLA
No, it was only his anger at what happened but he killed me every time I looked at him, the anger and hatred in his eyes was not normal.
FATHER MIGUEL
But ... What did you say that night?
LOLA
I do not know father, I do not know, I was drunk and I can not remember.
FATHER MIGUEL
Was there anyone else?
LOLA
We were in the house of a couple of our friends and they were like six people, I do not remember exactly.
FATHER MIGUEL
And you do not remember anything?
LOLA
I only remember that I woke naked in that bed. I do not even know how I got there.
FATHER MIGUEL
And what did Jonah say when you saw him?
LOLA
That she was dirty, and that she was not worthy of her love or her company ... And that there is no valid excuse in the world not to come and report her father.
FATHER MIGUEL
As you say? To report me? But what has been believed? and you…
What did you say? Answer me!
LOLA
Oh father, please beg me to forgive me, I implore you. Have mercy on me, I ask you, please.
FATHER MIGUEL
Stop bullshit and tell me what the fuck you said!
LOLA
Jonah told me that at the party I began to talk about a miserable part of my life.
That several years ago I began to feel hot and impure nightmares, and decided one day to come to you to heal me. And you cured me ... then they asked me very interested what it was that you had done. I told them it was a secret. All mocked incredulous and asked to tell them the truth. Then, according to Jonah, I began to tell you explicitly everything that you and I have done in all these years.
FATHER MIGUEL
Oh my God! And today, what did you say to Jonah? Did you tell him that all this was a lie because of your drunkenness? Answers!
LOLA
I told him I did not remember anything of what he had said that I felt very bad and stunned by all his hysteria but he insisted that I swear it was true.
FATHER MIGUEL
And what did you say? What did you say?
