Rectory Main Room
Jud takes a phone call from Louise in the rectory main room, his grief and guilt breaking through in tears he quickly wipes away. He shifts to command mode, delegating the rectory's closure to Martha with clipped authority. Martha watches his unraveling silently, while Benoit Blanc pursues Jud out the door. The room captures Jud's raw duality—vulnerability clashing with priestly control.
