[the SFPD has come to arrest a suspect who is hiding in a church]
Sister Heather : [30:08] Captain Stottlemeyer, I'm Sister Heather.
Capt. Stottlemeyer : Hi, sister. You know why I'm here, right?
Sister Heather : Yes. He's here; he's in the sanctuary. He's very frightened. You think he tried to murder you?
Capt. Stottlemeyer : Yes, ma'am, I do.
Sister Heather : You obviously have very strong feelings about this.
Capt. Stottlemeyer : You're godda- Yes, I do.
Sister Heather : I just want to make sure that Brad isn't mistreated.
Capt. Stottlemeyer : Brad's not his name.
Sister Heather : You're right, I don't know his real name, but I know the man. He's been working in our outreach program. He's been feeding the hungry and the homeless every night. When they're too tired to come here, he brings food to them.
Capt. Stottlemeyer : Maybe he has a guilty conscience.
Sister Heather : Well, any conscience at all is a rare thing these days. What do you want, captain?
Capt. Stottlemeyer : I want justice.
Sister Heather : Well, he's afraid that you want something else. He's afraid you and the other policemen want...
Capt. Stottlemeyer : Revenge.
Sister Heather : My father once taught me an important lesson: "There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness."
Capt. Stottlemeyer : Your father?
Sister Heather : He's your father, too.
