Spotlight · written by Josh Singer & Tom McCarthy · 2015
Scene 16 of 143 · ≈ 1 min on screen · Act two
The Boston Globe's Spotlight team pries open the Catholic Church's decades-long cover-up of child abuse — one sealed record, one silenced victim at a time.
Robby's Spotlight team operates comfortably inside its own routine, prospecting a modest police-corruption story under a departing editor's cover.
Baron's outsider question exposes what the paper has never done: investigate whether Cardinal Law knowingly protected an abusive priest.
Marty tells Ben and Robby he wants Spotlight to drop its current story and dig into whether Cardinal Law knew about Geoghan.
Robby relays Baron's ask to the team; they debate dropping the PD-numbers story, and Robby assigns Mike to Garabedian and Sacha/Matt to MacLeish and the Porter case.
Sacha and her husband Hansi arrive at her grandmother's house in Southie for dinner.
This scene
A cozy dining room. Sacha, her GRANDMOTHER and her husband HANSI finish dinner. Sacha’s grandmother wears a gold cross.
SACHA
When are you leaving, Nana?
NANA
The bus is picking us up in the
church parking lot at nine o’clock.
We have forty people going.
SACHA
Is Father Dominic going?
NANA
No. He said, he’s very unlucky. But
luck has nothing to do with it.
Hansi can’t help but smile.
SACHA
Nana won a hundred and sixty dollars
last time.
HANSI
Wow.
