 CONT: When Father Merrin is in Mister Baissers tent after learning  he was sent to the asylum, he cuts his hand on a piece of glass  lengthwise down the hand. Later when he visits Sarah in her office,  she cleans and bandages the wound. Just before leaving, Merrin  thanks for her for the bandage and shows us his palm with the  bandage going across it, not up and down like the supposed wound.
