Midnight Mass

Sheriff Hassan:
You're telling me there's a contagion being spread intentionally at St. Patrick's?

Dr. Sarah Gunning:
I'm telling you that is what I suspect, even if it sounds...

Sheriff Hassan:
What exactly are you asking of me?

Dr. Sarah Gunning:
Well, I suppose I'm asking you to look into it.

Sheriff Hassan:
Look into what, exactly? Look into St. Patrick's? On, just to be clear, on the basis that some of your mother's blood tests got damaged?

Dr. Sarah Gunning:
It's a lot to ask, I know.

Sheriff Hassan:
Do you? Do you?

Sheriff Hassan:
[about his fellow policemen] And more and more, I realize I've lost their trust. I roll with it. I keep my head high. Dignity. Dignity is a word my wife uses. "Show them dignity." And then she's diagnosed. And she's robbed of her dignity so fast. And then she's gone. And I couldn't. Ali and I get as far away as we can. And I find this gig. This little island. So sleepy, it could be dead. No elections, no staff. Just a tiny room at the back of a grocery store and a bunch of fishermen without a notable incident of intentional violence in almost a century, and I beg for the post. Dignity. [pause] So I don't intimidate. I don't overshare, or overstep, or intrude in any way. I don't even carry a gun. And still. Still, Beverly Keane, and a few others too, look at me like I'm Osama bin-Fucking Laden. And you'd like me to investigate St. Patrick's?

Dr. Sarah Gunning:
For what it's worth, I want very much, very much to be wrong.
