神父詹姆斯是一位好牧師，虔誠正直。有一天一個前來的告解的人對 詹姆斯說會殺了他就因爲他從來沒有做錯事。他只有一週的時間來與上帝精神統一，詹姆斯照顧着各式各樣的墮落無助的人，他會去探望這些人——或許能在其中找到嫌疑人。他的'死亡準備太過複雜，尤其是對於他企圖自殺的女兒來說。
《神父有難》經典臺詞
：There's no point in killing a bad ing a good one?That would be a would't know what to make of that.I'm going to kill you,Father.I'm going to kill you because you've done nothing wrong!I'm going to kill you because you're innocent
.傑克：殺死一個壞神父沒有任何意義，殺死一個好神父纔會讓人震驚，他們不會知道到底是爲什麼，神父，我要殺了你。我要殺了你，因爲你沒有犯過任何錯;我要殺了你，因爲你是無辜的。
we're good we'll go to if we're bad we'll go to hell.
如果你從善，那就上天堂;如果你是壞蛋，那就下地獄。
one ever says the word "Death" around you anymore.
當你老了，你身邊提到"死"的人就變少了。
er：I've always felt there's something inherently psychopathic about someone who joins the army in far as I'm concerned people join the army because they want to find out what it's like to kill someone.I hardly think that's an inclination that should be encouraged,do you?Jesus Christ didn't think so either.
神父：我一直覺得在和平時代參軍的人，都是自身神經有點問題，對我來說，人們參軍就是爲了可以正當殺人，我不認同這種意向應該受到鼓舞，耶穌也不認同。
er：No one is a lost cause.
神父：沒有人是註定失敗的。
