Emily Watson as Sister Mary
The worst type of villain is one who believes that they are doing God's will. Anything they do can be excused and justified. When Sister Mary meets Bill, she is all polite enquiring about his family. The air of menace is just beneath the surface. She knows just how powerful the Catholic Church is especially with regard to education. All of his daughters want to go to good schools. Places are limited. She doesn't need to issue any threats at all. All he has to do is shut up and look the other way.
