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.

1. Scenes 4–10

   Robby's Spotlight team operates comfortably inside its own routine, prospecting a modest police-corruption story under a departing editor's cover.

2. Scenes 11–14

   Baron's outsider question exposes what the paper has never done: investigate whether Cardinal Law knowingly protected an abusive priest.

4. Scene 45

   Phil Saviano tells the team abuse this systemic isn't just physical, it's spiritual: 'if it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a village to abuse one.'
