The Run of the Country (1995) - full transcript

[DOG BARKING]

[CAWING]

HOW DO YOU DO?

FATHER GAYNOR.

EVENING, MRS.McKENNA.

I WANTED
TO THANK YOU

FOR EVERYTHING
YOU'VE DONE HERE.

THANK YOU.

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL,
DANNY.

WHEN MY HUSBAND DIED,

I WAS THE SAME.



[MURMURING]

I'M VERY SORRY FOR
YOUR TROUBLES, SERGEANT.

SHE WAS A LOVELY WOMAN.

YES, SHE WAS, LASS.

THANK YOU, MARY.

Man: IT'S A GRAND WAKE,
SERGEANT.

THANK YOU.

SOAP.

LEAVE IT ALONE.

LEAVE MAMMY ALONE.

THIS WAS YOUR GRANNY'S.

DO YOU WANT THE
UNDERTAKER TO GET IT?

IT BELONGS
IN OUR FAMILY.

QUICK, DAD,



AUNTIE ROSE
AND UNCLE BEN

ARE TAKING
MAMMY'S WEDDING RING.

THAT'S IRELAND
FOR YOU.

THE RELATIVES TURN UP
TO ROB THE CORPSE.

SUCH A TRAGEDY.
POOR EILEEN.

YOUR MUTUAL LOVE
WAS AN INSPIRATION TO ALL.

AT LEAST HER END,
WHEN IT CAME, WAS SWIFT.

WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU
GOING TO DO NOW?

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO COPE,
THE TWO OF YOU?

WELL, DANNY WILL
HAVE TO RUN THE HOUSE

LEARN TO COOK.
THAT'S THE POSITION.

I MEAN, THERE'S
NOTHING ELSE TO BE DONE.

YOU SINGE IT NOW.

THAT'S THE WAY
MUM DOES IT.

DID IT.

AAH! YOU BUGGER!

UHH!

WHAT'S FOR PUDDIN'?

GET IT YOURSELF.

HOW LONG YOU THINK I'M
GONNA HANG AROUND HERE

SERVING UP YOUR FOOD,
WEARING THIS APRON?

I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT.

IT'S A PITY,
'CAUSE IT SUITS YOU.

I'M ONLY JOKING.

DON'T FLY OFF THE HANDLE.

ANYWAY, I COULD ALWAYS EAT
AT THE WIDOW McGINN'S.

SHE'S ALREADY OFFERED.

CAN'T I EAT THERE
AS WELL?

NO.

SHE ONLY HAS
THE 2 CHAIRS.

NO GOOD DOWN.

THERE'S NOTHING ELSE
FOR IT TO GO.

IF YOUR EXAM RESULTS
ARE GOOD,

WE'LL THINK AGAIN.

TOO UNHAPPY
TO THINK AT ALL.

I'M GOING TO SIT TIGHT
FOR NOW.

NO PROBLEM, THEN.

STAY HERE AND LEARN
THE COOKING ROPES.

AND TOMORROW,

TRY AND MAKE
THE STEW EDIBLE,

OR WE'LL SOON HAVE ULCERS
THE SIZE OF FOOTBALLS.

MAYBE YOU'LL MEET
ANOTHER WOMAN.

LIFE CAN GO ON
AS IF MUM NEVER LIVED.

SHE WAS THE BEST WOMAN
IN THE WORLD.

EVERYTHING A WIFE
AND MOTHER OUGHT TO BE.

VERY FIRST DATE WE HAD,
WE WENT TO A SHOW.

A FELLOW ON A MANDOLIN

PLAYED THE TENNESSEE WALTZ.

SHE WAS WEARING
A GREEN BLOUSE.

DIDN'T I SEE IT LAST NIGHT
IN THE WARDROBE?

MAY GOD HAVE MERCY
ON HER GENTLE SOUL.

EVERYTHING I GOT,

I HAD TO DO IT MYSELF...

AND MUM, OF COURSE,

NO ONE EVER GAVE--

GAVE YOU A PENNY!

EVERYTHING YOU GOT

YOU'VE EARNED
THE HARD WAY.

DON'T TELL ME--

DON'T BLOODY WELL TELL ME

WHAT I THINK.

AND IF I CAME HOME
WITH 10 OTHER WOMEN,

IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

MUM'S DEAD, OK?

HUH?

DO THE PAIR OF US
HAVE TO JUMP DOWN

INTO THE GRAVE AFTER HER?

IT'S THE LIVING WHO HAVE
TO RESURRECT THEMSELVES,

AND NOT THE DEAD!

NOW WHO'S
FLYING OFF THE HANDLE?

[COW MOOS]

THAT'S THE GIRL. HEY,
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

COME ON.
THROUGH YOU GO.

THAT'S IT. COME ON.
COME ON.

STOP WHERE YOU ARE,
DANNY!

DRIVE THEM DOWN
YOUR LANE. GO ON.

THAT'S THE BOY.

WELL, GET AFTER HER,
YOU WHORE.

YOU COULDN'T STOP
AN ALARM CLOCK.

GET OVER THERE.

YOU BEEN AWAY SO LONG

YOU FORGOTTEN
HOW IT'S DONE?

HEY!

WHAT'S FUNNY, COCO?

NOTHING, LAD.

COME ON.
LEND US A HAND.

GET OUT!

WHOSE ARE THEY?

THEY'RE FROM
ACROSS THE BORDER.

ASK NO QUESTIONS,
YOU'LL HEAR NO LIES.

COME ON.

WHOOSH! SO WHERE WERE
YOU HEADING TO, HUH?

COME ON.

I'VE RUN AWAY
FROM HOME.

I'M NOT GOING BACK.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
LOOKING FOR, LAD.

YOUR HOLE.

COME ON!

I'D SAY, NOW,

YOU ARE STILL
A VIRGIN.

FOR GOD SAKE, PRUNTY.

MY MOTHER'S
ONLY JUST BURIED.

I JUST WALKED OUT
ON ME FATHER.

SEX IS THE LAST THING
ON ME MIND.

THIS BULLOCK HERE
MAY BELIEVE YOU.

I DON'T.

WELL, TO BE HONEST,

SEX IS, IN FACT,
MOST OF THE TIME

THE ONLY THING
ON ME MIND.

HA HA!

I KNEW RIGHTLY.

GO ON!

TELL US WHAT,
DANNY.

YOU PULL YOUR
DANGLER IN BED.

LEAVE OFF, COCO.

NO, I DON'T.

YOU'RE A LIAR.

I DARE YOU SHOUT
"VAGINA" OUT LOUD.

GO ON. VAGINA.

ARE YOU MAD?
WHY SHOULD I?

I'LL TELL YOU WHY.

IF YOU'RE AFRAID
OF SOMETHING, RIGHT,

AND YOU SHOUT IT OUT,

IT KILLS THE FEAR.

SEE, WHEN I'M HUNGRY,
I SHOUT BELLY.

AT NIGHT,
I SHOUT DARK. GO ON!

VAGINA.

AH, LOUDER.
LOUDER THAN THAT.

VAGINA.

VAGINA, VAGINA,
VAGINA!

HA HA HA!

Danny: VAGINA!

THAT'S NICE TALK.

HEH HEH HEH.

[QUACKING]

Coco: WATCH 'EM
ON THE TAKE OUT.

ALL RIGHT, DANNY.
KEEP 'EM MOVING.

Woman: HERE, CHICK-CHICK
CHICK-CHICK, CHICK!

WHERE ARE YOU
GOING?

GET OVER THERE, YOU!

COME ON!
HIYA, MOMMY!

HIYA, SON!

GOT IT RIGHT THERE,
DANNY. KEEP MOVIN'.

Danny: ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT.

LOOK OUT
FOR THE BEANS.

IN THE BARN, NOW.

COME ON.
KEEP IT MOVING.

MOVE RIGHT.
MOVE IT BACK.

COME ON.
ON YOU GO.

Coco: HE'S JUST BACK
FROM THAT GRAND SCHOOL

THEY SENT HIM TO.

HE'S HIS OWN MAN, NOW.

HE CAN SLEEP IN
ALONG WITH ME,

OR IN THE ARM CHAIR,
THERE.

I REALIZE I COULD BE

SOME PART OF A BURDEN,
MRS. PRUNTY,

BUT I APPEAL TO YOU,

TO YOUR
MATERNAL INSTINCTS,

I NEED SANCTUARY.

ALL RIGHT, SON.

YOU CAN STAY.

YOU GOT A LETTER
FROM THE TAX MAN.

WARM IT IN THE FIRE,
THERE.

WHAT ARE THOSE?

SPORES,

FOR THE GAME COCKS.

THOUGHT THAT
WAS ILLEGAL?

EVERYTHING ALONG
OUR BORDER IS ILLEGAL...

INCLUDING WOMEN.

SO, BE CAREFUL, LAD,
I'M WARNING YOU.

HERE.

CLOVES, TAKE ONE.

THEY'RE MAGIC.

IF A WOMAN LIKES
THE SMELL OF YOU,

YOU CAN'T GO WRONG.

YOU SEE,
IT'S NOT JUST LOOKS.

WITH ANIMALS AND WOMEN,

IT'S THE SMELL
THAT COUNTS.

I'M VERY HIGHLY SEXED.

DID YOU NOT KNOW THAT?

WHEN THE WOMEN
SEE ME COMING,

THEY RUN.

I'M NOT SURPRISED.

I'M GOING OUT
WITH A WIDDY WOMAN,

THE HUSBAND'S
SAFELY DEAD.

THERE'S NO FEAR
OF GETTING YOUR DANGLER

TARRED AND FEATHERED.

IT'S A KNOWN FACT,

AMERICAN WOMEN
HAVE BIGGER MOUTHS

AND BIGGER TITS
THAN WOMEN ELSEWHERE.

IT CAN ONLY MEAN
ONE THING, LAD.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Woman: AND DON'T BE
BENDING YOUR KNEES.

AH, YOU'RE FINE.

I HAVEN'T LOST
THE SWING OF IT YET.

MIND ME TOES.

OH, FORGET YOUR TOES.

[LAUGHING]

ME POOR LEGS.

OH!

OH, TO THINK ONE TIME

I COULD FLY LIKE A BIRD.

IF ONLY YOU COULD HAVE
SEEN YOUR MOTHER

THE FIRST TIME I SAW HER.

OH, THE STATE OF ME.

YOU'LL BE DOING WELL
WHEN THE TIME COMES,

IF YOU FIND A WOMAN
HALF AS GOOD.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Mother: WHO'S THERE?

Father: [WHISPERING]
Let me in.

No.

A lonely boy.

Come on.

No.

Don't.

You musn't!

Oh, come on, Nora.

Go back
to your own bed.

WHAT WAS YOUR FATHER LIKE?

I NEVER KNEW HIM.

THANK GOD.

HE DIED JUST BEFORE
I WAS BORN.

RELAX, LAD.

A NEW PAIR OF JEANS,
A SHIRT,

AND THE WOMEN WILL BE
EATING OUT OF YOUR HAND.

THE BLOODY BORDER, LAD,

WE HAVE TO CROSS IT.

THE MARKET'S
IN THE NORTH.

SAY NOTHING.

THEY CAN PICK UP
EVERY WORD YOU SAY.

MORNING, SIR.

Prunty: BY GOD,
THIS SHIRT'S A DINGER.

I WOULDN'T MIND
WEARING IT MYSELF.

EVERY WOMAN IN THE COUNTRY
WILL BE BALLIN' FOR YOU.

BUNGEE MANIA--
180 FEET.

ANYBODY ELSE?
IT'S YOUR TURN...

Prunty: ONCE WE GET HER
TO THE TOP,

THE ENGINE WILL CATCH,
NO BOTHER, GOING DOWN.

IT'S THAT BLOODY BATTERY.

A DOLT
IN THE CAR FOREVER.

WHAT WAS THAT?

WHAT?

THAT.

AH, AND OLD CHIEFTAIN
McGUIRE LIVED THERE

HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO.

THEN OLIVER CROMWELL
PUT HIM TO DEATH.

HE WAS SOME BOY.

HE USED TO TAKE
TO THE BATTLEFIELD

WITH NOTHING ON HIM
BUT HIS SWORD.

HE HAD A DANGLER
THE LENGTH OF A SPEAR.

WHO, CROMWELL?

NO, McGUIRE!

AH! HE BE A DISTANT RELATION
ON ME MOTHER'S SIDE.

IT WAS A LAND
WORTH FIGHTING FOR

IN THOSE DAYS, BOY.

KEEP PUSHING, YOU WHORE.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

EXCUSE ME, MISS.

CAN YOU HELP US?

WE'RE BROKE DOWN.

IT'S THE OLD FAN BELT
HAS SNAPPED.

WE NEED SOMETHING TO, UH,

YOU KNOW, TIE AROUND.

CAN I BORROW
YOUR TIGHTS, PLEASE?

MY TIGHTS?

I DON'T THINK
THEY'LL FIT YOU.

AH, NO, I'M SERIOUS.

I'LL BUY YOU A NEW PAIR.

SAVE YOUR MONEY,

AND I'LL SAVE MY TIGHTS.

I WOULDN'T MIND
SAVING THEM FOR YOU.

LIVE IN HOPE,

DIE IN DESPAIR!

HA HA! YOU, BOOR!

DID YOU SEE THE WAY
SHE LOOKED AT ME?

AH, THEY CAN TELL
AT A GLANCE

MY SPERM COUNT'S
WAY ABOVE NORMAL.

SHE HARDLY NOTICED YOU.

YES, SHE DID.

AH, HOLY JESUS,
YOUR OLD FELLA.

YOUR COLLEGE PRINCIPAL
CALLED UP.

HE'D ONLY JUST HEARD
ABOUT MAMMY,

SAYS YOU'RE
IN HIS THOUGHTS.

HE ALSO SAID YOU'D HAVE
NO BOTHER AT ALL

GETTING INTO UNIVERSITY.

WHO SAID I WANTED TO GO?

ALL YOU'RE DOING
IS WASTING YOUR LIFE.

BE HONEST, DANNY.
YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT.

I'M HAPPY
WHERE I AM, DAD.

YOU WOULDN'T HAVE
A PAIR OF JUMP LEADS,

WOULD YOU, SARGE?

YOU WOULDN'T WANT
TO LEAD HIM ASTRAY,

NOW, WOULD YOU,
MR. PRUNTY?

I NEVER ASKED HIM
TO COME WITH ME, DID I LAD?

HE'S FREE TO GO
WHENEVER HE LIKES.

I'M NOT COMING HOME.

HOW MANY TIMES
DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU?

Danny: PUSH!

Mother: HAVE YOU
THOUGHT ABOUT

WHAT YOU WANT TO DO
WITH YOURSELF?

IF YOU PUT
YOUR MIND TO IT,

YOU COULD BE
ANYTHING YOU WANT.

MEDICINE, THE LAW,

A PRIEST, EVEN.

ANYTHING.

I LIKE TO MAKE THINGS.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE
ARTIFICIAL LIMBS

FOR ONE-LEGGED SPIDERS.

[CHUCKLES]

YOU COULDN'T
MAKE A CUP OF TEA,

COULD YOU, DARLIN'?

ALWAYS BELIEVE
IN THE ALMIGHTY...

AND YOURSELF.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO BELIEVE IN, MUM.

WHAT IF I FAIL?

WHERE WILL I GO?

DON'T WORRY.

YOU'LL PASS
WITH FLYING COLORS.

[POUNDING ON WINDOW]

COME OUT HERE, YOU!

I WANT YOU!

COME ON.

YOU'VE GOT YOUR OWN BED
TO SLEEP IN.

HOP TO IT.

Boy: DANNY, DANNY!

YOUR BREAKFAST
IS READY.

GOOD MAN.

YOU HAVE THE EGG.
I'M IN A HURRY.

THE THING OF IT IS,
DANNY,

I FEEL GREAT
THIS MORNING,

FOR THE FIRST TIME.

[CHUCKLING]

I WAS JUST THINKING...

ABOUT THE TIME
OF THE GREAT ROBBERY.

£50,000, THREE OF THEM.

THAT'S A HELL OF A LOT
OF CASH, EVEN NOW.

THEY HAD THE--

THE BANK MANAGER
AND HIS WIFE

TIED UP INSIDE.

"COME OUT OF THE CAR...

WITH YOUR HANDS UP."

THEY WERE ARMED
WITH REVOLVERS,

AND A SAWED-OFF SHOTGUN.

ALL I HAD WAS ME BATON.

I WAS A YEAR OR 2
OLDER THAN YOURSELF.

I FELT GOD
WAS ON MY SIDE.

DIDN'T THEY COME OUT

WITH THEIR HANDS
UP IN THE AIR?

IN 2 SHAKES
OF A LAMB'S TAIL,

I HAD THE CUFFS ON THEM.

I WAS A HERO.

WELL, I PLAYED
ME CARDS RIGHT.

I COULD'VE ENDED UP
A--A CHAUFFEUR,

OR A CHIEF.

HERE YOU ARE.

WE'RE ALL RIGHT,
DANNY,

ME AND YOU.

ONE GOOD MURDER,

THAT'S ALL I ASK,

AND ME THE ONLY ONE
ABLE TO SOLVE IT.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

FIXING THE LOCK.

I WANT TO SLEEP
IN HERE FROM NOW ON.

WELL, NO, YOU'RE NOT!

NOBODY'S SLEEPING
IN HERE. GET OUT!

GO ON. GET OUT OF IT.

YOU'VE GOT YOUR OWN ROOM.

GO ON. GET OUT OF IT.

YOU KILLED MAMMY,
DIDN'T YOU?

YOU KILLED HER.

I'LL KILL YOU!

[SHOUTING]

HEY! HEY!
HEY!

IN, YOU WHORES,
AND SHUT THE DOOR.

WHAT KEPT YOU, PRUNTY?

YOU'D BE LATE
FOR YOUR OWN FUNERAL.

I HOPE SO.

WHO'S THE LAD?

DANNY. HE'S
THE SERGEANT'S SON

FROM BUTLER'S HEAD.

WE'LL HAVE THE LAW
ON OUR SIDE, THOUGH.

YOU KNOW,
I FEEL THAT GOOD,

I CAN BALL 6 WOMEN
AGAIN A HEAD.

HERE.
CLOVES FOR THE WOMEN.

FORGET THE WOMEN
TILL AFTER THE FIGHT.

WHAT FIGHT?

AI! AI! AI!
AI! AI! AI!

* ALL MY LIFE *

* I'VE BEEN A'WAITIN' *

* TONIGHT THERE'LL BE
NO HESITATION *

* OH, BOY *

* WHEN YOU'RE WITH ME,
OH, BOY... *

THAT'S FOR YOU,
BOSS.

THERE YOU GO.
GET THAT DOWN YOU.

THAT'S FOR YOU,
RANDY.

IT'S HIS FIRST DRINK.

GO TO HELL.

IS HE OVER 18?

COURSE HE'S OVER 18.

FEW MORE YEARS AND HE'LL
BE DRAWIN' THE PENSION.

HERE YOU GO, LAD.
WHISKEY FIRST,

THEN YOUR PINT CHASER.

GET IT DOWN YOU.
SLáINTE! GO ON!

SLáINTE!

[CHEERING]

NOW YOUR PINT.
GET IT DOWN YOU.

THAT'S THE LAD!

A HEAD ON YOU,
McQUADE,

AND THE PRICE
OF TORN LIPS.

WE ORDERED THAT PUNTING.

YOU COULDN'T BOSS
THE SKIN

OF A BEAR SHITE.

BIG AND ALL AS YOU THINK
YOU ARE, McQUADE,

WE'LL FIND YOU
A COFFIN TO FIT.

GO ON NOW WITH THAT,

BEFORE I KNOCK
3 KETTLES OF PISS

OUT OF YOU.

HE'S YOURS, LAD.

HOW'S YOUR MOTHER,
McQUADE?

STILL ON THE GAME?

GO ON, PRUNTY.

I'VE SEEN BETTER SNOUTS
ON A PIG.

I'M JUST POPPING OUT
FOR THE TOILET.

I'LL ONLY BE GONE
ABOUT 4 HOURS.

YOU STAY
WHERE YOU ARE, LAD.

YOU'LL BE OK.

THE BRITISH ARMY
DISCHARGED YOU, RAFEAT.

WHAT FOR?

ASK YOUR SISTER.

SHE KNOWS ALL ABOUT
ME DISCHARGES.

OOH.

YOU'RE DOING GREAT, LAD.

AAH!

FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY,

STING LIKE A NETTLE.

STILL THE LADY'S CHOICE.

I'M ASKING.

* WHEN I SAW YOU
STANDING BY *

* THE JUKEBOX... *

FAIR BAIT YOU,
DANNY!

* I SAW YOU SLIP YOUR RING *

* INTO YOUR POCKET *

COME ON.

WHAT'S WRONG?

DON'T KNOW.

I'M GOING HOME NOW.

WHAT?!

YOU'LL NOT MAKE
A FOOL OUT OF ME.

ALL I WANTED WAS A FUCK!

* WON'T YOU STAY *

* JUST A LITTLE BIT
LONGER? *

AH, JESUS, A WONDER
NO ONE'S LAID YA,

A FINE-LOOKING MAN.

HA HA HA!

HA HA!
GET YOUR CLOTHES OFF.

* NOW YOUR MAMA DON'T MIND *

[HUMMING]

Father's voice:
COME OUT HERE, YOU!

I WANT YOU!

YUCK.

DIDN'T THEY
TEACH YOU ANYTHING

ABOUT
THE GREAT FAMINE

IN THAT SCHOOL
OF YOURS?

FAMINE ISN'T ONLY FOOD.

THE MOUTH WANTS MORE
THAN SPUDS.

SUPPOSE YOU THOUGHT
YOU WERE GONNA BE

SITTING IN THE KITCHEN
ALL SUMMER,

GASBAGGING WITH MUM.

EMPTY THAT!

[GROWLING]

WHAT THE HELL'S
HOLDING YOU UP NOW?

MY LEGS, DAD.

RIGHT.

COME HERE.

COME HERE!

IF I GET YOU--
I'LL GET YOU, YOU KNOW.

HEY!

YOU DELIBERATELY KEPT
ME HANGING ALL DAY

STOP! STOP!

YOU'RE GOING TO KILL
THE CHILD!

CHILD, ME ASS!

IS TO BE A MURDER TO SOLVE
ONE OF THESE DAYS,

ALL RIGHT, BUT YOU'LL BE
THE ONE ARRESTED!

YOU DON'T HAVE A BIT
OF SENSE, MAN.

IF I HAD ANY SENSE,

I'D BEEN OFF TO
AMERICA YEARS AGO.

YOU GO TO AMERICA,
FOR GOD'S SAKE.

I'M NOT STOPPING YOU.

TOO LATE NOW, WOMAN.
YOU KNOW IT.

UHH.

MUM! MUM!

MUM, MOMMA,
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?!

MUM!

DON'T MAKE
AN ASS OF YOURSELF!

IF YOU CAN'T HELP,
DON'T BE A HINDRANCE.

CAN YOU HEAR ME, MUM?

IT'S ME. YOU'RE GOING
TO BE ALL RIGHT.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE
ALL RIGHT.

DON'T TELL ANYONE
THERE WAS A ROW.

WE'RE BROKE NOW, ME BOY.

SHE'S DEAD.

WHY DIDN'T YOU AND MAMMY
SLEEP TOGETHER

ALL THE TIME?

WHY DIDN'T I
HAVE ANY BROTHERS...

SISTERS?

ALL RIGHT.

I'M HERE.

TALK TO ME,
SHERLOCK HOLMES.

WHAT I HAVE TO SAY TO YOU,

I'LL SAY IT
WHEN YOU'RE SOBER.

GO TO BED.

YOU USED TO BREAK IN
THAT DOOR.

WHY?

WHY, DADDY?

YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT LOVE, DO YOU?

HMM?

YOU THINK I WAS PROUD
OF MYSELF...

BREAKING DOWN THE DOOR?

GET TO BED.

HER FOOT?!

YOU KISSED HER FOOT?!

JESUS.

HER FOOT?!

ARE YOU SURE?

WELL, YOU CAN'T BEAT
THE COLLEGE BOY

FOR DIRTY TRICKS, HUH?

IT'S TIMES LIKE THIS

I WISH I HAD
AN EDUCATION.

Woman:
HELP! DANNY!

GET YOUR FATHER,
QUICK!

JUST DON'T
STAND THERE!

GET YOUR FATHER!

GOD...

I THANK YOU FOR THIS
CRIME-FREE BACKWATER,

BUT IF IT IS YOUR WILL,

PLEASE SEND ME SOMETHING
TO GET ME TEETH INTO.

A MURDER, PREFERABLY.

A NICE LITTLE MURDER,

AND I'M THE ONLY ONE
ABLE TO SOLVE IT.

YOU'VE GOT
TO COME QUICK.

THERE'S BEEN A MURDER.

AHH!

YOU KNOW WHO IT IS,
DON'T YOU?

HUH?

OLD DANNY McCANN.
LIVES DOWN IN THERE.

HAS HE BEEN MURDERED?

MURDERED, ME FOOT!

HE WASN'T THE ONLY ONE
DRUNK LAST NIGHT.

LAID DOWN TO SLEEP IT OFF.

HEDGE-CUTTER
GOT HIM THIS MORNING,

NEAT AS A BACON SLICER.

IT'S A GOOD JOB

I DIDN'T CALL OUT
THE MURDER SQUAD.

I'D HAVE BEEN
THE LAUGHINGSTOCK

OF THE WHOLE DIVISION.

NOT AN ACT
OF MURDER AT ALL.

NOT EVEN A SUICIDE.

JUST MY LUCK.

NOW IF HE'D
HAD HIS HEAD CUT OFF

IN THAT DITCH
OVER THERE,

IT WOULDN'T BE
MY PROBLEM AT ALL.

THAT'S THE NORTH.

THE ROAD'S THE BORDER.

JUST THE LUCK

THAT'S DOGGED
THE BEST OF ME DAYS.

WELL, GO. GO.
GET THE UNDERTAKER.

I NEVER KILLED
YOUR MOTHER.

WHY DID YOU SAY THAT?

[LOUD MUSIC PLAYS]

TURN THAT OFF.

OH, COME ON.

DON'T WE MOURN
OUR LOVED ONES ANYMORE?

HAVE YOU NO RESPECT?

YOUR MOTHER
ONLY IN HER GRAVE,

YOU GO DRINKING
AND DANCING

WITH THAT PRUNTY.

WHO TOLD YOU
I WENT DANCING?

LET ME SEE
YOU DANCE, THEN.

COME ON, BIG FELLA!

COME ON. 1, 2, 3.

1, 2, 3.

1, 2, 3.

LET ME GO.

LET'S SEE
WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF, HUH?

LET ME GO,
OR YOU'LL BE SORRY!

OH, I'LL BE SORRY,
WILL I?

I'LL SWAT IT
OUT OF YOU.

WHERE DID YOU
GET THE MONEY, HUH?

HUH?! WHERE DID YOU
GET THE MONEY...

TO GO DANCING
AND DRINKING?

YOUR MOTHER
LEFT YOU MONEY.

MUM LEFT YOU
SOME MONEY, DID SHE?

GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY.

A GIRL GAVE IT TO ME.

NOTHING HAPPENED.

ISN'T THAT GRAND?

[MUSIC STOPS]

I HAVEN'T FINISHED
WITH YOU YET.

I NEVER KILLED YOUR MOTHER.

YOU WERE THERE.

ALL RIGHT.

IT WAS AS MUCH
MY FAULT AS YOURS, OK?

NO, IT'S NOT OK.

YOUR FIRST MOMENT ON EARTH

WAS ALMOST HER LAST.

YOUR MOTHER
HAD A WEAK HEART.

YOUR BIRTH
NEARLY KILLED HER.

THE DOCTOR MANAGED
TO SAVE YOU BOTH,

BUT AT A PRICE.

SHE COULDN'T RISK
HAVING ANY MORE CHILDREN.

IT WAS A LIFE SENTENCE
ON THE BOTH OF US.

WE DIDN'T BELIEVE
IN THOSE THINGS.

THERE'S A PRICE TO BE PAID

FOR PRINCIPLES.

IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT.

I DON'T BLAME YOU.
YOU DON'T BLAME ME.

HERE'S £100.

MAMMY HID IT FOR ME.

I KNEW RIGHTLY...

SHE ALWAYS THOUGHT
MORE OF YOU

THAN SHE DID OF ME.

AND WHO COULD
BLAME HER?

Danny: I'M GOING
TO BECOME A PRIEST.

I'LL ATONE
FOR ALL OUR SINS.

I KNOW THE CLASS
OF ANIMAL YOU ARE,

AND IT'S NOT A PRIEST.

FOR A START,

YOU'D LOOK RIDICULOUS
IN THE VESTMENTS.

COME ON. WE'LL GO UP
TO THE SACRISTY NOW,

AND YOU CAN TRY THEM ON.

IF IT DON'T LOOK RIGHT,

IT WON'T FEEL RIGHT.

AND IF IT DON'T
FEEL RIGHT,

YOU CAN FORGET IT, LAD.

COME ON.

YOU LOOK LIKE
A HALF-CLOCKED PARROT.

THAT GIRL
YOU GOT YOUR EYE ON?

IF SHE SAW YOU NOW,
SHE'D RUN A MILE.

YOU WON'T
PULL HER TIGHTS DOWN

DRESSED UP LIKE THAT.

THE ONLY THING
YOU'LL BE PULLING

IS YOUR DANGLER.

DO YOU HAVE
TO BE SO CRUDE?

THE WINE'S POWERFUL,
THOUGH.

[BANGING]

IS FATHER GAYNOR IN?

I'D LIKE
THE LITTLE LADY BLESSED.

THERE'S--THERE'S ONLY
A YOUNG PRIEST IN HERE.

I DOUBT HE'LL
BE ANY GOOD TO YOU.

HE'S ONLY JUST ORDAINED.

ALL THE BETTER.

EASY, DAUGHTER, EASY.

COME HERE, FATHER.

YOU'RE WANTED.

Prunty: COME ON!

COME ON.

[PIG SNORTING]

EASY, DAUGHTER, EASY.

GOOD DAY, FATHER.

I WANT YOU
TO BLESS MY SOW.

SHE'S ABOUT
TO LITTER ANY DAY,

AND THE WEE PRAYER
THAT FATHER GAYNOR

SAYS OVER HER

ALWAYS BRINGS US
GOOD LUCK.

SEE FATHER GAYNOR,
THEN.

I'M NEW.

I DON'T FEEL...

EQUIPPED.

FRESH OUT OF MANOUTH.

WHAT COULD BE BETTER,
FATHER?

I'LL GET
THE HOLY WATER, FATHER.

UH...

[SOW GRUNTING]

IN THE NAME
OF THE FATHER

AND OF THE SON

AND OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT,

KNIO, KNIO, KNIO.

GO IN PEACE,
GENTLE SOW.

AND THRICE,
GENTLE FARMER.

MAY THY PIGLETS
HAVE FULL SUCK

ON THINE AMPLE TITS.

THAT WON'T
BE NECESSARY.

MAY YOUR SINS
BE FORGIVEN...

AND MINE, TOO.

AMEN.

AMEN.

THANK YOU, FATHER,

AND MAY YOU RISE
TO BE A BISHOP.

HA HA!

WHAT WAS THAT "KNIO, KNIO"
YOU WERE SAYING?

IT'S "OINK"
BACKWARDS.

KNIO, KNIO.

HOLY GOD.

OINK, OINK.

THAT'S THE BEST EVER.
KNIO, KNIO.

JESUS.

THE PRIEST HAS KILLED
THE FUCKING PIG.

MY SOW. MY SOW.

MAY GOD FORGIVE YOU,
FATHER.

YOU SILLY OLD BUGGER!

DANNY, IT'S
YOUR OLD FELLA

AND THE PRIEST.
WE'RE NOT IN.

LEAVE IT OPEN.

LOOKS MORE NATURAL.

WHERE ARE THEY,
THE TWO OF THEM?

THEY IMPERSONATED ME

AND BLESSED
A POOR MAN'S PIG.

THEY WERE IMPERTINENT
TO A MAN'S PIG. HA!

WHAT?

MY SON DRESSED UP
AS A PRIEST.

A FARMER CAME TO HAVE
HIS SOW BLESSED,

AND, UH, MY SON
BLESSED IT.

AND WHAT WAS WRONG
WITH THAT, SERGEANT?

ARE YOU MAD ENTIRELY,
WOMAN?

IT'S A SACRILEGE.

ON THE WAY HOME,
THE PIG WAS KILLED BY ME

IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT.

OH, NO.

WAS IT INSURED,
FATHER?

WHAT'S THAT GOT
TO DO WITH IT?

OH, GOD PROTECT ME

FROM THE STUPIDITY
OF BRAINLESS WOMEN.

YOUR SON'S VAN WAS SEEN
BEING DRIVEN AWAY BY ME.

YOU WERE DRIVING
MY SON'S VAN?

AH, SWEET GOD!

ALL RIGHT, FATHER,
ALL RIGHT.

CALM DOWN, MAN.

MRS. PRUNTY,
WHERE'S YOUR SON?

OR MORE TO THE POINT,
WHERE'S MY SON?

WELL, THAT'S THE QUESTION,
SERGEANT.

THEY COULD BE ANYWHERE.

YOU NEEDN'T WORRY
ABOUT US, MRS. PRUNTY.

WE'VE ALREADY EATEN.

OH, WELL--

YOU'RE GOING TO AMERICA
TO YOUR AUNTIE.

I'VE ALREADY SENT
FOR THE FORMS

BEFORE YOU GET
IN WORSE TROUBLE

WITH FRIEND PRUNTY.

AND YOU'RE GONNA PAY
FOR THAT DEAD PIG.

AM I, FUCK?

[LAUGHS]

THAT'S A BOY.

WHY YOU KEEP IT
LOCKED UP ALL THE TIME?

IF YOU LET THIS FELLOW
HERE RUN WILD,

HE'D BE NO GOOD WHEN
IT CAME TO THE HUNT.

WHAT'S THIS DOIN' HERE?

IT'S A MAP
OF THIS PLACE.

COULD BE THE BRITS.

THE S.A.S. OR SOMEBODY'S
STAKING IT OUT.

COME ON TO HELL.

WILL WE TELL ANYONE?

SAY NOTHIN'.

SAY NOTHIN'
TILL YOU HEAR MORE.

AROUND HERE THAT'S
WHAT YOU GOT TO DO, LAD.

Danny: DID YOU EVER
THINK OF JOINING THE IRA?

THERE ARE 2 KINDS OF MEN:
FIGHTERS AND TALKERS.

I THINK I KNOW
THE KIND YOU ARE.

HAVE A DREAM
YOU CAN LIVE FOR, LAD,

NOT ONE THAT'LL
PUT YOU IN THE GRAVE.

[CHICKENS CLUCKING]

Prunty:
HOW'S IT GOIN', JOHN?

MORNIN'.

HOW'S THINGS?
GOOD MAN.

WHAT IF ME FATHER
RAIDS THE PLACE?

HOP ACROSS THE RIVER,
THEN WE'RE IN THE NORTH.

WHAT IF THE R.U.C.
RAID US THERE?

HOP BACK.

RELAX, LAD.
KNIO, KNIO!

[CHEERING]

TOSS YOUR WIENIE OUT, BOY.

THAT'S YOURS, FRIEND.
GET ONSTAGE.

FLAVOR, A LITTLE FLAVOR.

[SQUAWKING]

FLAVOR, ANOTHER FLAVOR.

GET IN THERE, BOY!

HEY! WARN HIM.

THAT'S A BOY.
GO ON.

THAT'S A BOY. COME ON.

HERE YOU GO.

ARE YOU READY
FOR HER NOW? OK.

GO ON. GO ON!
GET IN THERE!

GO ON!

[CHEERING]

SEE THAT, DANNY?

[CHEERING]

I, UH...

I--I SAW YA...

I--

[LAUGHS]

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

HE'S THE ONE I TOLD YOU
BLESSED THE PIG.

ANNAGH, ANNAGH LEE.

Daphne:
AFTER THE RIVER THERE.

YOU FLOW GENTLE,
RUN DEEP AS WELL?

WHAT I MEAN IS...

I THINK IT'S THE BEST
NAME I EVER HEARD.

WELL, IT'S THE ONLY ONE
I'VE GOT.

YOU COMIN'
FOR A WALK, ANNAGH?

MY NAME'S DANNY.

MY NAME'S DAPHNE.

IT SUITS YA.

DO YOU WATCH
THE BATTLES?

THEY'RE NOT FAIR,
TOO CRUEL.

I JUST CAME
WITH DAPHNE.

HER MOTHER
SELLS THE SANDWICHES.

Danny: WHAT SCHOOL
DO YOU GO TO?

HUNTER HIGH BELFAST.

I'M FINISHED NOW.

WHAT RELIGION
ARE YA?

MY FATHER
WAS CATHOLIC.

MY FATHER DIED
WHEN I WAS 13.

UNLUCKY FOR SOME.

NO, I DIDN'T MEAN--

MY MOTHER DIED...

5 WEEKS AGO.

MY MOTHER'S
PROTESTANT,

SO I'VE GOT
2 RELIGIONS...

OR NONE.

DO YOU BELIEVE
IN A UNITED IRELAND?

IT IS UNITED.

IT'S THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE DIVIDED.

[CROWD CHEERS]

THOSE GAME COCKS
IN THE RING,

THEY DON'T KNOW WHICH
SIDE OF THE BORDER

THEY'RE ON.

GOD'S CREATURES
DON'T KNOW BORDERS.

THAT'S NOT QUITE TRUE,
NOW, IS IT?

WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE POET?

YOU TELL ME FIRST.

SEAMUS HEANEY.

WEARS HIS HEART
ON HIS SLEEVE.

ONLY PLACE TO WEAR IT.

I PREFER JOHN HEWITT.
HE'S SALTY.

IF I WAS THE WIND,
I'D BLOW THROUGH YOUR HAIR,

AT NIGHT I'D
BLOW YOUR CLOTHES OFF.

[LAUGHING] I THINK
YOU ARE THE WIND,

FULL OF IT, ANYWAY.

Man: THE GUARDS!

THE GUARDS!

WILL YOU COME
TO THE CINEMA FRIDAY,

AT THE LUXOR IN CLORES?

I WILL!

Man: GET OUT, BOYS!

Man: LET'S GO, GO!

COME ON NOW!

COME ON. MOVE, DANNY!

JESUS, I GOTTA
HAND IT TO YA, LAD.

AND SHE FROM
A FAMILY OF BIG SHOTS

ACROSS THE BORDER.

I TOLD YOU THEM CLOVES'LL
DO THE TRICK, HUH?

THEY GET THE KNICKERS
OFF IN NAUGHT.

AS EVERY REVEREND MOTHER
IN THE LAND CAN TESTIFY.

[LAUGHING]

YOU GOT HIM GREASED UP
LIKE A GAME COCK.

IT'S ALL READY
FOR YOU, SON.

THANKS.

AND HERE'S THE PRICE
OF THE CINEMA.

NO. NOW, MRS. PRUNTY,

I CAN'T KEEP TAKIN' MONEY
FROM YOU ALL THE TIME.

OH, NOW,
YOU CAN PAY ME BACK

WHEN YOU'RE A GREAT MAN,
AFTER UNIVERSITY.

YOU'LL NOT ALWAYS HAVE
THE RUN OF THE COUNTRY.

ENJOY YOURSELF
WHILE YOU CAN.

HEE HEE!

ONE THING, LAD.

THIS TIME, INSTEAD
OF KISSING HER FOOT,

TRY A LITTLE HIGHER.

I'M SORRY I'M LATE.

ARE WE GOING
TO STAND OUT HERE

THE REST
OF THE EVENING?

I'VE SEEN IT BEFORE.

SO HAVE I...

BUT NOT WITH YOU.

2, PLEASE.

HELLO.

I'D LIKE A GLASS
OF LAGER AND...

A CUP OF TEA.

CUP OF TEA. THANKS.

CAN I ASK YOU
SOMETHING?

HAVE YOU BEEN
EATIN' CLOVES?

UM, NO.

WELL, YEAH,

IN AN APPLE PIE
MRS. PRUNTY MADE.

ACTUALLY,
MY FRIEND PRUNTY--

I CALL HIM COCO--

HE GAVE THEM TO ME,

SWEARS THEY'RE
AN APHRODISIAC.

I MUST TRY SOME.

TRY ME MOUTH
INSTEAD.

SHH.
OH.

£1.30, PLEASE.

THANK YOU.

WHAT ARE
YOUR PLANS?

OH, I WISH I KNEW.

NO, I MEAN UNIVERSITY.

ARE YOU GONNA GO?

I MIGHT...
IF I GET IN.

MAYBE.

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED
TO DO MEDICINE.

I'VE ALWAYS DREAMED
OF SEEIN' THE WORLD,

BUT YOU CAN SEE IT
IN SOMEONE'S EYES.

BEFORE REALITY CREEPS IN
AROUND THE EDGES.

WHAT WAS YOUR
FAVORITE SUBJECT?

ENGLISH...

AND BIOLOGY.

DO YOU KNOW OUR BODIES

ARE JUST BAGS
OF FLUID AND BONE?

I DON'T THINK WE'VE GOT
A LONG-TERM FUTURE

ON THIS PLANET.

SO THERE.

MAYBE SOME OTHER PLANET
WILL BE KIND ENOUGH

TO TAKE US IN...

AFTER WE'VE
DESTROYED THIS ONE.

THE LAND REMAINS
LONG AFTER WE'RE GONE.

IT SWALLOWS US IN THE END.

IT IS US WHO ARE DESTROYED.

BUT NOT YET.

YOUR EARS
ARE SEASHELLS.

YOUR EYES
ARE DANCIN' STARS.

[LAUGHING]

I'D BETTER GO.

BYE.

MUM, YOU KNOW.

BYE.

[GIGGLING]

Prunty: COME BACK HERE!
WHERE ARE YAS GOING?

BRRR.

Danny: UHH!

GO ON, COCO,
JUMP!

HEH HEH HEH.

HA!

IT'S LOVELY ONCE YOU
GET USED TO IT.

IT'S NOT LOVELY

WHEN YOU'RE TURNING
BLUE WITH THE COLD.

WHAA!

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THIS IS?

Annagh: IT LOOKS
REMARKABLY LIKE A ROCK.

IT'S CALLED AN ODA.
IT'S USED BY OTTERS.

[GIGGLES]

[HELICOPTER APPROACHES]

DIDN'T I TOLD YOU,
YOU WHORE?

WE BETTER BE GOING.

HE DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN
ABOUT MAN OR BEAST

SINCE HE MET YOU,
ANNAGH.

HE LOVES YOU JUST
AS MUCH AS ME, COCO.

AH, GO OFF.

IF YOUR OLD FELLA COULD
SEE US NOW, LAD, HUH?

OR FATHER GAYNOR.

MIXED NUDE BATHING,
DEFINITELY A MORTAL SIN.

WHAT'S AN IMMORTAL SIN?

IT'S AN ACT OF BETRAYAL
IN LOVE OR WAR.

UNFORGIVABLE,
UNFORGETTABLE.

SOME BRAIN, HUH?

HE'S AS QUICK
AS A TRAIN.

[GIGGLING]

HEY, STOP THAT,
YOU, YOU WHORE.

ISN'T THERE A MACHINE
THAT CAN DO THIS?

EXERCISE'LL
DO YOU NO HARM.

IF YOU CAN'T
USE YOUR BRAIN,

USE YOUR BODY,

AND IF YOU
CAN'T DO NEITHER,

JOIN THE POLICE FORCE.

OH, WOULD YOU
LOOK AT THE TIME?

I GOTTA BRING ME DOG
TO THE VET. HERE.

DO SOME WORK.

I'LL SEE YOU
BACK AT THE HOUSE.

I WON'T BE BACK
FOR HOURS.

I'D DIE FOR YA,
ANNAGH.

WAS IT YOUR MOTHER'S?

I DON'T WANT IT.

PLEASE.

YOUR FACE HAS
WIPED OUT HERS...

IN MY HEART.

IT'S THE ONLY MIRROR
THAT COUNTS.

OK.

[EXPLOSION]

Danny: COCO!

KEEP IT TOGETHER, LADS.
COME ON, COME ON.

KEEP IT TOGETHER.

NOW,
YOU WAIT THERE.

YES, SIR.

HOLY GOD, LAD.

2 S.A.S. MEN.

THEY WERE HIDIN'
IN THE ROOF THERE.

IT'S A GOOD THING
I BROUGHT HIMSELF

HERE TO THE VET,
OR HE'D BE DEAD NOW.

COULD'VE BEEN
ME AND YOU, LAD.

WHO DID IT?
THE IRA?

SAY NOTHIN'
TILL YOU HEAR MORE.

UH-OH.

HERE COMES
SHERLOCK HOLMES.

YOU HAD YOUR DOG THERE.
DID YOU SEE ANYTHING?

NEVER SEEN A THING,
SERGEANT.

WE FOUND AN OLD MAP,

AND WE LEFT IT
WHERE IT WAS.

YOU, SEE ANYTHING,
NOTICE ANYTHING?

NOTHIN'.

WELL, YOU GOT YOUR WISH--
A MURDER TO BE SOLVED.

THIS IS
A POLITICAL MURDER,

NOT AN ORDINARY,
DECENT CRIME AT ALL.

THIS IS FOR THE MEN
IN SUITS TO SOLVE.

2 BRITISH SOLDIERS DEAD.

COULD'VE BEEN
THE TWO OF YOU,

BLUNDERED INTO
BY ACCIDENT, EH?

I DON'T WANT YOU

HANGING AROUND
TOGETHER ANY LONGER.

OH, COME ON.

WHAT IS THIS?

HELLO, SERGEANT.

I'M ANNAGH.

JESUS.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

* LOOKING FOR
SOMEBODY NEW *

* WORRY *

* WHY DO I LET
MYSELF WORRY? *

* WONDERIN' *

* WHAT IN THE WORLD
DID I DO? *

* OH, CRAZY *

* FOR THINKING THAT
MY LOVE WOULD HOLD YOU *

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

NOTHIN'.

ANYTHING THE MATTER
WITH YOU?

NO. I THOUGHT, UH...

MAYBE YOU'D HAD A ROW
WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND.

NOTHIN' WRONG WITH
YOUR EYESIGHT ANYWAY,

THANK GOD.

SHE'S LOVELY.

ANYTHING WRONG
WITH YOUR EYESIGHT?

YOU GOT OFF THE WRONG SIDE
THIS MORNIN'.

NOW...

THE FORMS FROM THE EMBASSY
ARE WAITIN' FOR YOUR SIGNATURE.

I ALSO HAD A LETTER
FROM YOUR AUNT JOSEPHINE.

SHE'D BE DELIGHTED
TO PUT YOU UP

TILL YOU FIND YOUR FEET.

NOW, HOW CAN THIS PLACE
COMPARE WITH NEW YORK?

WHY DON'T YOU
GO TO NEW YORK?

NO, I'M SERIOUS.
WHAT'S TO KEEP YOU HERE?

YOU CAN'T TRANSPLANT
AN OLD TREE.

IT'S YOU
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT.

YOUR MOTHER WANTED
YOU TO--TO GROW UP

TO BE SOMETHING,

DO SOMETHING GOOD
FOR THE WORLD.

I DON'T WANT YOU
TO STAY HERE

AND END UP LIKE...

PRUNTY.

NO, LIKE ME.

IS THERE
ANOTHER REASON

WHY YOU WANT ME
OUT OF THE WAY?

OF COURSE NOT.

IF YOU WANT A FUTURE,
YOU'LL HAVE TO GO.

I'M NOT GOIN'
ANYWHERE.

YOU'VE NO CHOICE,
I'M TELLIN' YA.

NOT NOW, NOT EVER.

DON'T WORRY
ABOUT THE GIRLFRIEND.

THERE'LL BE PLENTY
OTHERS OVER THERE.

NO WAY.

I'LL BE EXPECTIN' YA
THIS EVENIN'.

THERE'S NO NEED,
NO NEED.

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG,
NOTHING WRONG.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH. WELL, NO.

NO.

DANNY'S BEEN
THROUGH A TOUGH TIME.

I KNOW.

I THINK HE'S BEST
LEFT ALONE AT THIS STAGE.

HE DOESN'T KNOW
HIS OWN MIND.

HE'S A DREAMER IS DANNY,

BUT DREAMS
DON'T PAY THE RENT.

I'M SORRY, SERGEANT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE GETTIN' AT.

HE'S GOT HIS EDUCATION
TO COMPLETE,

AND HIS MOTHER ALWAYS
WANTED HIM TO GO TO AMERICA

TO BECOME SOMEONE.

I MEAN, THERE'S NOTHING
FOR HIM AROUND HERE.

WHEN I GOT MARRIED,
I HAD A JOB AND A SALARY.

NOW WHAT DO YOU SAY?

WHOEVER SAID ANYTHING
ABOUT GETTIN' MARRIED?

SO, YOU'RE JUST
STRINGIN' HIM ALONG, THEN.

NO, I'M NOT.

DO YOU LOVE HIM?

OF COURSE I DO.

I SEE.

I'M JUST WORRIED
ABOUT HIS FUTURE,

THAT'S ALL.

I WORRY ABOUT
THE FUTURE, TOO.

YOU'RE A LOVELY GIRL,
ANYWAY.

AH, THANK YOU.

WHAT DID YOU SAY
TO ANNAGH?

YOU GO NEAR HER AGAIN--

YOU LEAVE US ALONE!

I LOVE HER!
[SHOUTING]

TRY AND STOP ME OR TRY
AND GET HER TO FINISH!

I'M ONLY TRYIN' TO GIVE YA
SOME PURPOSE IN LIFE.

I KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TRYIN'!

I KNOW WHY YOU
WANT ME OUT OF THE WAY.

SO YOU CAN
GET ANOTHER WOMAN IN.

MOMMY DEAD, ME GONE.

DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

IT'S NEVER
BEEN THOUGHT!

I SAW YOU DANCIN'
WITH THE WIDOW McGINN.

Danny: WHY ARE YOU
TAKING THAT?

SHE'LL HAVE STRIDE,
MAN.

IT'LL BE SOME TRIP,
MRS. PRUNTY.

AH, THE BISHOP
IS GREAT.

HE'S ORGANIZED IT
FOR THE ENTIRE DIOCESE.

I'LL SAY A PRAYER
FOR YOU, SON,

FOR YOUR INTENTIONS.

THANKS. I'VE GOT
EVERYTHING I WANT.

I'D LOVE IF YOU WERE
MAKING THE JOURNEY WITH ME.

YES, I'D LIKE THAT.

YOU LIAR.

WILL YOU BE HERE STILL
WHEN I RETURN?

I HOPE SO.

NOW, MOMMY,

DON'T BE COMING BACK HERE
WITH SOME FRENCH MAN...

OR BIG ITALIAN WITH BALLS
LIKE A STALLION.

THERE'S NO POINT
PRAYING FOR YOU, SON.

I'D ONLY BE WASTIN'
MY BREATH. HA HA HA!

THAT'S THE BOY!
COME ON, LAD!

CAN'T SEE BEHIND ME.
NO, NOT GETTING PRUNTY.

[TAUNTING]

Prunty: AH, GIVE ME
THAT SHITE THING, YOU!

IT'S PAID IN RUBIES,
SO GIVE ME THE BALL.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE
A KNEE IN THE BULLOCKS?

Boy: GET HIM, PRUNTY.

Teammates: PRUNTY! PRUNTY!

AH! YOU'RE JUST IN TIME

TO SEE MY GREAT
MANLY SKILLS, ANNAGH.

WHERE IS THAT
SHAGGING BALL?

[GRRR]

COCO'S COOKIN'
A CHICKEN TONIGHT.

I'M PREGNANT.
GONNA HAVE A BABY.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW?

NO, NOT YET.

I'M GOIN' HOME
TO TELL HER NOW.

I'M SORRY.
I'M SORRY, I--

SORRY?

WE ENJOYED IT,
DIDN'T WE?

Prunty: A BABY.

[IMITATING BABY]
WAAAAH.

WAAAAH!

MOMMY, HEH, WAAAH!

HEH.

DADDY.

HEH.

NEXT TIME, PUT A KNOT
IN YOUR DANGLER.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

ARE YOU ANNAGH'S MOTHER?

MARY!

Man: GET OFF THIS LAND!

DON'T YOU COME BACK!

I CAN'T STOP.
THEY'RE BUCK MAD.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH.

DID THEY HIT YOU?
NO.

THEY NEVER WANT ME
TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

I'M GONNA HAVE
TO GET AN ABORTION.

A--

AN ABORTION?

WELL, WHAT'S
THE ALTERNATIVE?

HAVE IT ADOPTED
BY STRANGERS?

OR WE GET MARRIED,
AND BINGO, YOU'RE A DADDY,

LIKE YOUR DADDY?

OR I HAVE IT
AND WE DON'T GET MARRIED?

WELL, HOW MUCH
IS AN ABORTION?

WE'D HAVE TO
GO TO ENGLAND.

ABOUT £400.

THERE'S NO WAY THEY'RE
GONNA GIVE IT TO ME.

WOULD YOUR FATHER
MAYBE--

MY FATHER?

GIVE ME MONEY
FOR AN ABORTION?

HE'S TO THE RIGHT
OF GENGHIS KHAN.

MY GOD.

I FEEL LIKE
JUMPIN' IN THE LAKE.

IS THAT WHAT YOU MEANT
BY "DYIN' FOR ME"?

NO.

I'M SORRY.

ARE YOU SURE ABORTION
IS THE ANSWER?

WHAT'S YOUR ANSWER?

UGH.

YA LUG!

YA BIG LUG!

YA GREAT BIG
DOUBLE-BARRELED

THUNDERIN' JACKASS.

YOU'VE RUINED
YOURSELF.

AMERICA THERE
WAITIN' FOR YOU.

YA CAN'T GO NOW.

WE NEED £400.

WE'LL PAY IT
BACK TO YOU.

£400?

ARE YOU OUT OF
YOUR SENSES, MAN?

YOU GET MARRIED,
SET UP A HOME.

YOU NEED A LOT MORE
THAN THAT, ME BLOKE.

FOR AN ABORTION...

IN ENGLAND.

SACRED HEART OF JESUS.

I'M GLAD YOUR
OLD MOTHER'S NOT HERE

TO LISTEN TO THIS.

SO AM I.

I'M GLAD SHE'S DEAD.

IF SHE WAS ALIVE,
I WOULDN'T HAVE MET ANNAGH.

I DON'T--I DON'T
WISH SHE WAS DEAD.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN,
HOW I LOVE HER--ANNAGH.

I WENT TO HER HOUSE.

THEY CHASED ME.

QUIT THAT CARRY-ON.

YOU WERE MAN ENOUGH
TO DO THE DIRTY.

BE MAN ENOUGH TO TAKE
THE CONSEQUENCES.

DON'T WORRY.
WE'LL GO AWAY SOMEWHERE.

YOU'RE NOT
THE FIRST YOUNG FELLOW

IT'S HAPPENED TO.

AS LONG AS YOU
DON'T RUN AWAY

OR DO ANYTHING LIKE...

LIKE AN ABORTION.

NO. YOU'LL HAVE
TO HAVE THE BABY...

AND STAY HERE,

GET SOME KIND OF A JOB.

A FARM OR A...

OR THE MEAT FACTORY
IN CLORES.

THERE'S NO
OTHER WAY OUT.

THE 100 POUNDS
MOM GAVE ME...

I WANT IT.

DON'T YOU INSULT
THE DEAD

AS WELL AS
THE UNBORN.

I'M SO SCARED.

THE BIG THINGS
YOU NEVER KNOW ABOUT.

THEY HAPPEN
UNDER THE SURFACE.

I KNOW.

IF I HAD THE MONEY,
I'D GIVE IT TO YOU.

MOMMY'S HOLIDAY
COST A FORTUNE.

I TELL YOU WHAT I'LL DO.

I'LL SELL HALF THE TURF.

WHAT WE GET FOR IT
SHOULD BE ENOUGH.

PUT HER THERE.

I'M SO FRIGHTENED.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO DO FOR THE BEST.

I FEEL I'M LOSIN'
THE RUN OF MYSELF.

MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T SEE
EACH OTHER ANYMORE,

DANNY.

FECK ALL.
YOU'S LOOSE THE HEAD.

YOU SLEEP WITH A QUESTION,

YOU OFTEN GET UP
WITH THE ANSWER.

CAN I STAY
THE NIGHT?

THEY'LL KILL ME,

BUT I JUST NEED
SOME TIME ALONE.

SURE, ANNAGH.

YOU CAN HAVE
MOMMY'S ROOM.

THANKS.

I SAID ALONE.

[WHISPERING]
Leave her, lad.

LEAVE HER.

ANNAGH.

ANNAGH, OPEN UP.

ANNAGH, IT'S ME.

Annagh: DANNY?

YES. OPEN UP.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WHY DID YOU
SAY THAT?

WHAT?

US NOT SEEIN'
EACH OTHER ANYMORE.

LET ME IN!
STOP IT.

GO BACK TO BED!

WE'VE BEEN OUT
LIFTIN' GAME COCKS.

YOU CAN ONLY
LIFT THEM AT NIGHT...

WHEN THEY'RE ASLEEP.

[FARTS]

UHH.

IT'S A SAD ASS
THAT CAN'T REJOICE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?

YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE,
MONKEY.

YEP. I HATE WHORES

THAT FEEL SORRY
FOR THEMSELVES.

GIVE US A HAND THERE,
MONKEY.

I'M GOING TO SWING HER.

MAKE SURE
SHE'S NOT IN GEAR NOW.

AYE. GO AHEAD.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Prunty: DON'T GET
OFF THE FUCKER, MONKEY!

KICK THE GEAR!

Danny: COCO!

Danny: AAH! COCO!

GET HELP QUICK,
YOU BULLOCKS!

HANG ON.
HANG ON, COCO.

THERE'S HELP COMIN'.

COCO!
UNH!

COCO!

RUN! RUN!

I'M SORRY.

Danny: NO! NO!

ANNAGH!

COCO!

DANNY.

FATHER.

IT PUTS A HALT
TO YOUR GALLOP.

NOW YOU'LL HAVE
TO KNUCKLE UNDER.

YOU'LL, UH, GET ANOTHER
SHOCK IN THERE.

HE WAS
IN THE I.R.A.

SAY NOTHING
TILL YOU HEAR MORE.

COUSIN, YOU CAN'T
STAY HERE ANY LONGER.

WE WERE FIRST COUSINS,
YOU KNOW.

YOU'VE GOT NO CLAIM
ON THIS PLACE.

WHO'LL MILK THE COW,

TAKE CARE
OF MRS. PRUNTY?

DON'T YOU WORRY.
SHE'LL BE MILKED.

SHE'LL BE
LOOKED AFTER.

Danny: ANNAGH?

ANNAGH?

WHAT?

COCO'S DEAD.

NO.

OH...OH, NO.

COME ON.

[ANIMAL NIBBLING]

NUH! AAH!

THERE, DANNY!

AAH!

THERE. THERE,
THERE'S SOMETHING!

IT'S MOVING. GET--
GET IT OUT!

AAH!

KILL IT!

KILL IT!

AAH!

DANNY!

[SQUEALING]

OH.

[POUNDING]

AH.

UNH, AAH.

Annagh: HELP ME.

IT'S OK.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.

HOLD ME.

SOMETHING'S
GOING WRONG.

OH. IT'S ALL
COMING AWAY.

I'M LOSING IT.

AH, OH, GOD.

IT'S OK.

[CRYING]

Sergeant:
WHAT THE HELL?

WE HAD
NOWHERE ELSE TO GO.

IT'S OVER,
SERGEANT.

Annagh:
IT'S OVER.

THEY'RE
SENDING HER AWAY.

THEY WON'T EVEN LET ME
WITHIN SIGHT OF HER HOUSE.

IF I CAN'T BE WITH HER,
IF THEY SEND HER AWAY,

I'M GOING
TO DROWN MESELF.

OH, STOP THAT
FOOLISH TALK.

ONCE YOU'RE
IN AMERICA,

YOU'LL FORGOT
ALL ABOUT HER.

YOU DON'T
UNDERSTAND, DO YOU?

WHO UNDERSTANDS ANYTHING
BUT THE MAN ABOVE?

COME ON, QUICK.

YOU SHOULDN'T
HAVE COME, DANNY.

I HAD TO.

PLEASE COME
WITH ME NOW.

HERE. I'M
IN THERE NOW.

LOOK AT ME
EVERY DAY.

I DON'T WANT IT.
COME WITH ME NOW.

DON'T DO ANYTHING
FOOLISH, DANNY.

I'VE GOT TO GO.

WHEN IT COMES
TO FAMILY--

FLESH AND BLOOD--

I KNOW THEM.

TAKE IT.

I'M NOT GONNA LET THEM
TAKE YOU AWAY.

I'LL NEVER
FORGET YOU, DANNY.

HERE. LET GO.

YOU CAN BE ANYTHING
YOU WANT TO BE, DANNY.

I LOVE YOU.

STAY HERE WITH ME.

YOU CAN BE ANYTHING.

LET ME GO.

ANNAGH.

ANNAGH!

ANNAGH!

ANNAGH!

AAH, NO!

DANNY?

GET OFF!

DANNY!

NO!

ANNAGH!

DANNY?

ANNAGH!

RIGHT.
THE TAR'S READY.

SKIN HIM.

NO. NO!

HOLD HIM, LADS.

[MUFFLED SCREAMING]

THIS WILL TEACH HIM.

AAH!

AAH!

AAH!

NEXT TIME WE'LL CUT
YOUR DANGLER OFF!

YOU FILTHY LITTLE
WHOREMASTER.

NOW GET OFF WITH
YOURSELF, YOU BUGGER!

Soldier:
KEEP IT GOING.

KEEP IT GOING THERE.

KEEP YOUR EYES
DOWN, LADS.

[SHEEP BLEATING]

Radio: ARE YOU RECEIVING ME,
TANGO 4, OVER?

Man: YEAH,
THIS IS TANGO 4.

PROCEEDING WESTLY.

STILL NO SIGN
OF ANYTHING, OVER.

Radio: CAN YOU TELL US
YOUR POSITION, TANGO 4?

TANGO 4, I'M NOT RECEIVING
YOU VERY CLEARLY.

AM I RIGHT TO SAYING
YOU'VE HAD NO CONTACT,

TANGO 4? OVER.

THAT'S A NEGATIVE
ON THAT. NEGATIVE.

SIR!

STAND BACK!

SERGEANT?

HE'S MY SON.

BUTTER IS A GREAT MAN
TO GET THE TAR OFF.

YOUR DADDY'S SO PLEASED
YOU'RE SAFE.

WHY DID THEY DO IT
TO ME, MRS. McGINN?

YOU'RE LUCKY
THEY DIDN'T DO WORSE.

SHE WAS A
MAGNIFICENT LADY...

YOUR MOTHER.

NO ONE
COULD REPLACE HER,

COULD THEY, DANNY?

IF SHE WAS ALIVE,

WHAT WOULD SHE ADVISE?

COME UP SMILING,
CARRY ON.

YOU'VE GOT
A KIND HEART, DANNY.

IT'LL BE EVEN KINDER
FROM NOW ON.

YOU'LL KNOW PAIN WHEN
YOU SEE IT IN OTHERS.

HOW DO YOU
FEEL NOW?

WITH ME HANDS
AS USUAL.

WHEN I'VE
FINISHED WITH THEM,

THEY'LL BE SORRY
THEY TOUCHED YOU.

AT THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE BORDER.

THERE'S NOTHING
YOU CAN DO.

I'VE ALREADY BEEN IN TOUCH
WITH THE AUTHORITIES.

FORGET IT.
THERE'S NO POINT.

LEAVE THEM ALONE.
IT'S OVER.

TARRED AND FEATHERED.

YOU'LL NEVER BE
FORGOTTEN AROUND HERE.

I CAN'T WAIT
TO LEAVE THE PLACE.

GOOD.

GRAND CROP THIS YEAR.

THE BEST EVER.

I'M THRILLED FOR YA...

NEXT WEEK, NEW YORK.

I'M NOT GOING
TO NEW YORK.

I'M GOING
TO DUBLIN.

DUBLIN?

DUBLIN'S ONLY
A GLORIFIED VILLAGE.

SO IS ANYWHERE.

I'LL GO
TO UNIVERSITY THERE.

I, UH, I WALKED OUT
ON ME OWN FATHER.

COULDN'T BEAR THE PALPATORY
OF THE SMALL FARM.

HE SHOUTED OUT TO ME

AS I WENT
DOWN THE ROAD,

"WHO'S GONNA
CARE FOR YOU?"

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE MEANT
TILL I GOT MARRIED.

WE CARED
FOR EACH OTHER...

BUT...

UNDERSTANDING,
YOU KNOW?

DEEP DOWN...

UNIVERSITY?

YOUR MOTHER WOULD BE
AS PLEASED AS PUNCH.

SO AM I.

THE THING THAT
HURTS THE MOST...

IS ANNAGH NOT
WANTING THE BABY...

EVEN IF IT
HAD BEEN POSSIBLE.

BUT NEITHER OF YOU
WANTED IT THE WAY THAT...

YOUR MOM AND I
WANTED YOU.

THE £100
YOUR MOTHER GAVE YOU.

BYE, NOW.

ALL FINISHED
FOR TODAY.

AND DON'T GO
INTO THE KITCHEN

WITH MUDDY
BOOTS, BARNARD.

SEE YOU TOMORROW.

AM I AN IDJIT
FOR LETTING MYSELF

GET INVOLVED WITH HER?

YOU'RE ASKING ME?

YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN
FROM NOW ON, DAD.

SO AM I.

IT'S THE LIVING HAVE TO
RESURRECT THEMSELVES,

NOT THE DEAD.
