- Sadly, Connor, your souffle is somewhat of a letdown.

- Next.

(footsteps)

- And you are?

- The name's Mary O'Hara.

- And what exactly have you cooked for us?

- Tart Tatin with bananas.

It's really good.

- Oh, oh, oh, we'll be the judge of that.

- Ha, ha, that's funny.

Being a judge and all.

- Let's hope your tart isn't a comedy turn, too, eh?

- Mm, not enough sugar.

- It's a healthy tart.

- Mm, but the pastry.

Too much butter.

- And unhealthy, too.

Perfectly balanced.

- Why bananas, anyway?

- Sorry, next.

- That's all you've got to say?

I've been cooking that thing for ages.

- You are a very cheeky girl.

- I'm not, I'm just being honest.

- Well, it's not up to the standard we require,

not to earn access to our school, next.

- Oh, no.

- Ah, I assume this is your grandmother.

I'm sure she'll have something to say about your behavior.

- You two eejits with the clipboards.

Not up to standard, you say.

Well, I say you're not up to standard for my Mary.

- This isn't helping, Granny.

- We understand your disappointment,

but this is a very prestigious cookery school.

We can't just take anybody.

- Anybody?

Anybody?

Mary is not an anybody.

She's my fragrant rose.

- Your what?

- By the way, Mary can always come back

and take the test in the next session,

so she can show us what she can really do.

- You can be sure she'll be back, and I'll be with her.

- Is that a threat?

- No, it's a promise.

- Go cook your own prestigious bottoms

in your prestigious ovens.

- Granny.

- Give us a push back there.

- Stop!

- The look on their faces, your fragrant rose.

(laughing)

- All that fancy food they kept blathering on about.

Whose idea was it to cook a tatty tart with bananas?

- I just thought I'd cook something different.

Something with a wow factor.

- What a load of rubbish.

You should be cooking with tradition and heart.

Not that modern muck!

- Looks like my summer holidays are gonna be a cookathon.

- Well, if you want to be a chef, you've got to put in the hours.

- Hey, Wexford, isn't that where you were born?

- It is.

- We could go and see your old house.

I've never been.

- No, we can't.

I told your mammy we were only going to be an hour.

- And we've been gone.

- Oh no, five.

(laughing)

- You don't talk much about your life

when you're a little girl.

- Some things are best left alone.

- Thanks, Granny.

You know, for coming with me.

- Best make good use of me while I'm still here.

- Look out!

(screaming)

(crashing)

(sheep bleating)

(barking)

- Mary, are you okay?

- I'm good.

So's the dog.

(barking)

(seagulls squawking)

But I'm not sure about mammy's car.

- Dogs.

Always dogs.

I got attacked once, you know ...

... at the old well, when I was a girl.

(laughing)

- See, I do tell you stories.

Oh!

Maybe your mammy won't notice.

- Mammy always notices.

You know that.

- We'd better be getting back.

I'm chilly.

(coughing)

(coughing)

- You okay, Granny?

- Fine.

I'm fine.

(music)

- Where have you two been?

- We decided to have a girl's day out.

- Mammy, you were supposed to be back hours ago.

I've been worried sick.

- Well, we're back now.

- Look at my car.

What happened?

- A stupid dog jumped out on us.

- I'm not sure you should be driving anymore, mammy.

- Always the drama queen.

- It wasn't Granny's fault.

The dog tried to kill us.

- Oh, now who's the drama queen?

Why don't you go for a lie down?

You look tired.

- Just a wee rest,

then I'll get off home.

- There's no rush.

- Hey, you can rest in my room.

- What are you making, love?

- French toast for Dad and the boys.

- You need a hand?

- I'm fine.

- Or a shower?

- I'm fine!

(singing) - We are Bohs! Bohs!

(singing) Always believe in your soul

(singing) You've got the power to know

(singing) You're indestructible

(singing) Always believing

(singing) We are Bohs! Bohs!

(singing) Always believe in your soul

(singing) You've got the power to know

(singing) You're indestructible

(singing) Always believing

- How are my girls?

- All the better for seeing you.

- What's for tea?

- Starving.

- Bread and custard.

- It's French toast.

- Sounds grand, love.

Any meat to go with it?

- It's okay. I'll cook us up some spaghetti Bolognese, eh?

- Now you're talking.

(singing) - You're indestructible!

(singing) Always believing!

(laughing)

- Mmm, delicious.

(phone ringing)

- Not at the table, Dominic.

- That will be his girlfriend.

- Killer!

- Ah, you kept that quiet, tiger.

- Is that the girl that works down the chipper?

- The blind and deaf one with no sense of smell.

- Quiet, shrimp!

(phone ringing) - Hey!

See you later, wuffkin.

Wuffkin?!

- That's private. (laughing)

- I said not at the table.

- What happened to your car?

- Mammy, she took Mary on her drive.

- Emer? Where's she now?

- Upstairs, she was tired.

You should have stayed home to do your homework.

- It's the summer holidays.

- Right, well, if you spend as long on your schoolwork ...

... as you do cooking with Granny ...

... you'd be a child genius by now.

- Well, when I leave school, I'll be a great chef.

You know, cook proper food.

If I was an Italian, I'd say this food was ... urgh, racist.

- Watch your lip! Paddy, tell her.

- Watch your lip.

- You'll be getting a proper job when you leave school.

- Could you pass the racist pasta there, wuffkin?

(laughing)

- I'd better take this up to Granny.

She must be starving.

- Is it okay if I call Ava, Dad?

- Off you go.

(laughing)

(birds chirping)

(coughing)

(door knocking)

- Yes?

- Nasty cough you have there, Mammy.

- Yeah.

I've had a lot worse, I can tell you.

- Well, I think you'll be staying here tonight.

Mammy, why do you keep encouraging Mary with this cookery nonsense?

- Well, someone's got to be able to cook in this house.

(music)

This is about as Italian as Bono.

(coughing)

(giggling)

- They were scared as hell.

They thought Granny was going to turn into an alien.

Like in that movie, you know?

- Yeah, like Granny Monster from Mars.

(laughing)

Mary?

Mary, - What?

- I need to tell you something important.

- Fire away.

- No, face to face.

In the park?

- Okay, see you in 10?

(music)

(dog barking)

- Alright, Mary.

(dog barking)

(music)

- Hiya - Hey you.

(water bubbling)

- So, what's up?

Uh oh. Serious sigh.

- I'm leaving.

- But we've only just got here.

- Dad's got a new job in England.

- So, I'm leaving.

- When?

- End of the week.

- Why didn't you tell me earlier?

- I didn't want you to get angry.

- Really?

REALLY?!

- See, you're angry.

- Come on, boy, fetch the ball.

(screaming)

Don't worry, kid.

- It's okay.

Oh, he's a softie.

- He's a dog!

(music)

- Here, go fetch.

(thunder rumbling)

- Maybe I could cook something fishy for the trial.

Cod in lemon sauce?

- Hmm, I think we're going to need a secret weapon.

Pass me my bag, there's a love.

Here. Take this.

- What is it? - Oh, open it.

- Recipes, old recipes.

- My granny gave it to me.

So, it's time I gave it to you.

- Thank you. - Easy.

- Hey, some of this is written in Irish.

- That'll be my grandmother.

You won't find any modern rubbish in there.

- Come on, kids, lights out.

- But it's the holidays. - Sleep!

- How about bacon and eggs?

- Looks easy enough.

- My grandmother loves cooking bacon and eggs.

All fresh from the farm.

- Night, Granny.

- Bacons, heggs.

- Hegg.

Hegg!

(dog barking)

The Hegg.

- Emer, did you drop it?

- I did, it's dead.

- It's not dead, love.

It's only smashed.

- I killed it.

- There's no life in an egg that isn't under a hen.

(coughing)

We have a whole basket full of them.

Do you want another one, do you?

- No, it was only a hegg.

- It was a fine class of an egg, mind ...

... but only an egg.

- How are you now? - I'm grand.

Close your eyes.

(coughing)

- I know that kiss.

- It's Emer.

(dog barking)

(coughing)

Granny?

(coughing)

Granny?

(coughing)

You're on fire.

Mammy.

Mammy!

Come quick!

- What is it, love?

- It's Granny. She's not well.

- What's wrong?

- Paddy, she's on fire.

I can't wake her.

You better call an ambulance.

(dramatic music)

I'll drive by your house and bring you some clothes.

Okay, Mammy?

(siren wailing)

- They'll have to run tests.

- What kind of tests?

- You know, important tests.

- What kind of important tests?

- I don't know, tests.

- It's my fault.

- How come?

- The car.

We shouldn't have gone so long with our windows down.

- Don't be silly, Mary.

- I'm not being silly!

- Oh, love, I'm sorry.

Mary!

- Hey, love, you go and see your mother.

I'll go and start out the kids and see you at the hospital.

All right?

- Thanks, Paddy.

You don't think I brought all this on, do you?

Arguing with Mammy.

- What?

You're always arguing with her.

- She'll be fine, Ma.

- Yeah, those doctors know a thing or two.

- I hate hospitals.

- And I hate lifts.

Well, apart from this one.

(female computer voice) - Doors opening.

- Really?

- Nice one, Dommo.

- Jeez, I think you need a doctor down there, Dommo.

(door creaks)

- Will I plump up your pillows, then?

- They're plump enough.

Will you look who's here?

- Granny!

How's you?

- All the better for seeing your face.

- Well, come on in.

- You feeling better, Granny?

- I will be when I'm out of this place.

- Don't let them doctors boss you around.

- I'll do the bossing around here.

- I don't doubt you.

See, you got a room on your own.

Nice.

- Oh, the kings of Leon?

Give us a listen to these bad boys, eh?

(shouting) Not too bad, but they're not a patch on Elvis.

- Do you like Elvis, Granny?

(shouting) - What?

- He asked if he liked Elvis.

(shouting) - I love him!

- Ah, I'm Dr. Patel.

You must be Mr. O'Hara.

Paddy. - Nice to meet you, Paddy.

Mrs. O'Hara, could I have a little chat?

- Right, and it's Scarlett.

- I've got some recipe ideas for the test.

(shouting) - Maybe you could show the cooks here.

(laughing)

- Mammy seems in good form.

- Well, she's certainly keeping us on our toes.

We did some routine checks and tests on your mother.

- You make her sound like a car.

- Yes.

(laughing) Beep beep.

Well, the thing is...

- Are you okay?

Here, sit down, Dr. Patel.

- Oh, thank you.

I'm not good at this sort of thing.

- Sort of thing?

Are you saying there's something serious?

- Yes.

I'm sorry, Mrs. O'Hara ...

... Scarlett.

- She's really ill, is she?

- Until we've done more tests, it's hard to be exact.

(people chattering)

- How long has she got?

- Could be ...

She's a fighter.

- Oh, Mammy.

So what happens now?

- I think it's best that she stays here until we know more.

- Yum, yum, Emer.

Lunchtime.

- You could plaster a broken leg with that stuff.

- Och, now. - Now, Mary.

Apologize to the lady.

Ah, Jeszus!

- Good luck with that, Gran.

- Looks like cat sick.

- Well, if I didn't want it before,

I definitely don't want it now.

(hand clapping)

- Time to give Granny some peace and quiet.

You ride shotgun with your mammy, okay.

- Okay, Daddy.

- Bye, Granny.

- Elvis is king.

Close your eyes.

- Oh, I know that kiss.

(laughing)

- It's Mary.

(laughing)

(Gaelic song)

- So when will Granny be coming home?

(dog barking)

Yap yap yourself!

(dog barking)

Dogs.

(music)

What is it with you and dogs?

- Granny always says not to trust them.

They're unlucky.

One attacked her at the old well ...

- ... when she was a girl. - When she was a girl.

(upbeat music)

So when will Granny be coming home?

Mammy?

What is it?

- I'm sorry.

It's just ... Granny won't be coming back home.

- What are you saying?

Of course she is.

- The doctor has done tests and ... Granny is very sick.

- Dr. Patel is an eejit.

- Don't talk like that.

Oh Mary ... Granny doesn't have long to live.

- Granny isn't going to die.

She's a super Granny.

She survived the flu as a baby.

She told me.

- I know.

But she's old now.

- All she needs is proper food to make her strong.

Not the muck they serve her in the hospital.

- Prátaí agus cál.

Potatoes and kale.

Sounds simple enough.

Ever heard of knocking?

- I made you some cheese on toast.

And don't be rude.

- Oh I saw a removal lorry

outside Ava's house over here.

Do you know why?

- She's leaving!

- What about your ...?

(music)

(dog barking)

- Bark off!

(dog barking)

(music)

- No!

(screaming) Stop! Stop!

- Mary, what's going on?

- You won't have to feed her if she lives with us.

Ava, it will like save you a fortune.

- Mary!

She just suggested you stay with her.

Yeah, she's right, Mammy.

I want to stay here.

- So sweet.

- Well that's settled then.

Send us a postcard when you get to England.

- Ava, it's time to pack your suitcase.

Get over here.

- Not you, you eejit.

- Can't we stay here, Mum?

- I'm so, so sorry.

Mary, watch your mouth!

- I'm just being honest.

You can come and visit Ava any time ...

... and she can come over here and stay.

- It won't be the same.

- Sorry.

(music)

(raining) - It's a wet one, all right.

- For some, maybe.

I nearly knocked you flat.

- Rushing home to get your homework done, are you?

- Nah, it's the summer holidays.

- What's wrong with you so?

- My best friend's leaving.

- And my granny's not well.

- Sure I know.

- Well, why did you ask?

- God, you're a rip alright.

- What does that mean?

- You're a cheeky young lady.

- Everyone says that. But I'm not.

I'm just being honest.

How do you know about my granny?

- Ah sure, I just do.

It's life, Mary.

- I ... I have to go.

- Right, so.

- How do you know my name?

- How's the girlfriend, wuffkin?

- They've split up so they have.

- Lucky escape.

- Yeah.

- For her, I meant.

- Why, Dominic? She sounded really nice.

- She didn't like the Bohs.

- You split up with the poor girl

because she didn't like football.

- No, because she didn't like the Bohs.

- Well, they've got to be compatible.

- What?

- So if Mum didn't like the Bohemians, would you leave her?

- Don't be cheeky.

- She's just being honest.

- Mm, lovely curry, Scarlett.

- Not bad from a jar,

But I'll never cook from a jar when I'm a chef.

- What is it with you?

You should have heard this one today

with Ava's mother arguing in the street.

- Give Ava a good send-off then.

- Yeah.

(laughing)

- No!

- Right, that's it.

You are grounded.

And you can't use this kitchen

for the entire summer holiday, okay?

- Oh, you love that.

You don't want me to be a chef, do you?!

-No, I just don't want you behaving like this.

- Mary, I think you should go to your room.

- I was going anyway.

- Oh, it's knackered.

- Okay, calm down everyone.

It's been a stressful time, that's for sure.

(rumbling)

- Why?! Why?! Why?!

Why is Granny sick?

Why is Ava leaving?!

- It's such ...

... such a mess.

(music)

(door knocking)

- What?!

- How's you?

- Been better.

- So has your room.

I brought you some hot chocolate.

- Thanks.

- Your mammy does love you, you know.

- Funny way of showing it.

- Lights out soon, okay?

- Night.

(music)

(dog running) (suspense music)

- Crazy.

(windows opening)

(wind sound) (rustling leaves)

- Lovely morning for it.

- What's 'it' when it's at home?

- Come on down, a word with you.

(rustling leaves)

- How come you look so young but you dress so old?

(laughing) - You are a cheeky one, all right.

- No-one understands, I'm just being ...

- Oh, that honesty thing again.

- At least you could tell me your name.

- Anastasia.

- I like it.

- I need you to give your granny a message from me.

- My granny?

- Yes. Tell her it will all be grand.

- Why would I do that?

- You'll be doing us a favor.

- But I've only just met you and I ...

- Come on, where's the harm in it?

- Okay, I'll do it.

- Good girl.

- But on one condition.

Any good at cooking?

- Ha, do the birds sing in the trees?

- Well, I'll pass your message on to Granny

if you help me cook her a meal so she doesn't have to eat

the muck they serve in hospital.

You've got cold hands.

- You've got yourself a deal.

(honking car) (twittering birds)

- Come on, lads, I've got a fare to pick up soon.

- Thanks for the lift, Dad.

I'll be a couple of hours with Granny.

- The kitchen's still out of bounds, so no cooking.

- I won't.

- And do some homework.

- In your dreams.

(music)

- Anastasia!

(sighing)

Anastasia!

Come on, where are you?

- Here. (screaming)

- You scared the life out of me.

(laughing) You only have two hours, follow me.

- Isn't your house that way?

- We're going to Granny's house.

(music)

- No peeking.

- Well, I've never seen anyone hide the key

under a doormat before.

- Well, hello, Mary.

How's your granny doing?

God bless her.

- She'll be home soon, Mrs. Flynn.

- Thanks for asking.

- Granny says, while Mrs. Flynn doesn't know,

isn't worth knowing.

She's a nosy one, all right.

That's Granny.

It was taken after her mammy died.

- She looks happy.

- There's so many weird recipes in here.

- Colcannon.

- I saw that one.

Kale and potatoes.

- Yes, kale, bacon, and spuds.

Your granny loves it.

- How do you know my granny loves it?

- All grannies do.

- Okay.

Kale.

- Cold on the inside.

Warm on the outside.

- Well, it is a fridge.

Where have you been hiding?

- My granny always said, for a proper colcannon ...

... you must use Wexford sand.

- Sand?

I don't see it anywhere.

(giggling) - Every kitchen holds its secrets.

Herbs of the seashore.

- This will make Granny much better.

- There's at least two more sleeps left in that nightie.

- You need a clean one.

I'll pop by your house and bring it later.

Anything else you need?

- To get out of here?

- Don't get any ideas, okay?

(screaming)

- Oh, can you stop playing and help me here, please?

- Will it taste good?

- Mm, smells delicious.

- Mammy! What are you doing here?

- I'm picking up some things for Granny.

What are you doing here?

More to the point.

- I've been practicing for a test.

You know, the cookery summer school.

- I said no cooking.

- You said no cooking in our kitchen.

- Wait till I tell your father.

It stinks in here.

- Mum ... this is my new friend Anastasia.

- Who?

- Anasta ... sia.

- What are you talking about?

- She was here, right here.

- Are you okay, Mary?

- Of course I am.

Anastasia.

- There's no one here, it's just me and you.

What, is this like an imaginary friend?

- She was right here, I swear she was.

- Mary, this is a stressful time for all of us

with your granny and hospital and ...

- She was right in front of us, I swear.

- I could have a word with Dr. Patel.

He's a nice man, maybe he can help.

- I don't need a doctor, I'm fine.

- We all need someone to talk to sometimes.

- I am fine.

- Granny!

- Look who's here.

Are you still my fragrant rose?

- Don't be cheeky.

(laughing)

- We're like peas in a pod.

So how's the cooking practice coming along?

- Mum banned me from the kitchen.

But that didn't stop me.

- That's the spirit.

- Here you go. Seedless.

Your favorites. They're washed, honest.

- Thanks, love.

- Right, have fun you two.

Just gonna go and chat to Doctor Patel.

- You know what I found in the old recipe book?

An old photograph of Wexford.

- Ah, the farmhouse.

- I had a dream about it.

- You should be dreaming about that cookery test.

(laughing)

- Oh, by the way...

(music)

- What are you up to?

- I made you this.

- You didn't.

- Colcannon, from your recipe book.

(crunching)

- And there was no-one there,

but Mary was convinced this Anastasia was real.

- Well, it could very well be trauma related.

It's obvious how much she loves her grandmother.

She doesn't want to ... lose her.

We have someone here at the hospital

who could talk to her about it.

I could sit in too.

- Thank you, Dr. Patel.

- Call me Jamil.

- Just like my granny's recipe.

- Did you make this on your own, Mary?

- Course I did.

- I need to get out of here

and take you back to that cooking school.

I promised those eejit judges, remember?

- Hey, there's no rush.

We can always try next year.

Just get better, eh?

(gasping)

- Hello, you two.

- Phew. What's that smell?

- What?

- Okay, say you goodbyes to Granny.

She must rest now.

Bye, Mammy.

- Granny.

My friend told me to tell you,

it'll all be grand.

See you tomorrow.

- So what were you whispering to Granny?

- When?

- Just now. - I had a message for her.

- Who from?

- From Anastasia.

- Oh, come on.

You're your imaginary friend.

- She's not imaginary.

I met her yesterday.

(female computer voice) - Doors closing.

- So she's a stranger then.

What have we always said about talking to strangers, eh?

- Dad was a stranger when you first talked to him.

- That's different and you know it.

- Anastasia's not a stranger.

She's my friend.

- So where is she?

(female computer voice) - Doors opening.

- I had a word with Dr. Patel.

You said there's someone you can talk to.

- No way.

I don't need a doctor.

- It's just a friendly chat. Off the record.

- I'll prove she's not imaginary.

- What?

Introduce me, like?

- Yes.

- Great.

And if, as I believe, she doesn't show,

you'll speak to someone.

- Okay.

(music)

- Urgh.

(smelling) Disgusting!

Up to bed with you, Tansey girl.

♪ The sweetest flower that grows ♪

- Can I go with you?

- Granny will need your help down here.

Won't you, Granny?

- Oh, I will.

I'd be hopeless without our Emer.

- Paddy.

- Are you awake?

- No.

- I'm really worried about Mary.

All this imaginary friend talk.

- There's nothing wrong with a bit of imagination, love.

(dog running) (suspense music)

(screaming)

(shouting) - Granny! Granny!

- Get away from her.

Don't hurt my girl, away.

Go, go to hear me, away.

- Away, go away.

(water splashing)

- Maybe I do need to see someone.

(door knocking) - Hurry up, Mary, I need the loo.

- Cross your legs then.

- Open up.

- Or find a tree.

- Come on, open up.

- Morning, love.

You sleep well?

- Not bad.

- Look, I'm sorry I pushed you so hard ...

... about your imaginary friend.

- Anastasia. - Yeah.

We all have our ways of coping.

- You're still gonna meet her though.

A deal's a deal.

- Mammy was telling us about your new friend.

- Can we come and see her too, shrimp?

- Boys ... quiet and eat.

(smaking) - How's Granny?

- Trouble. - Oh, that's my Granny.

- Okay, time to go see Anastasia.

- We haven't finished breakfast.

- You wanna meet her, don't you?

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Say hello from me.

- Tell her don't be a stranger'!

- Ooh.

(music)

- Thanks for telling Dommo and Killer.

- Oh, they must have overheard me talking to your daddy.

- Whatever.

- Well, hello, Scarlet.

How's poor Emer doing?

Nothing serious, I hope.

- Yeah, she'll be grand. Just needs to get some rest.

- I'm sure the doctors know what they're doing.

I'll be saying a little prayer for her later.

- That's very kind, Mrs. Flynn.

- I'll be sure to tell her you asked after her.

- Big for a little fella, isn't he?

- It's the breed, and he's a she.

Come on, Enya.

- God, she's nosey. - Shh.

- Mrs. Flynn, you remember that woman I was with yesterday, don't you?

Mrs. Flynn!

- And that's what you get for being cheeky.

(thunder rumbling) (raining)

- Oh, great.

Where are we going, Mary?

(seagulls squawking)

Morning.

- Correct.

(thunder rumbling) (music)

- We'll give it a few more minutes.

- You don't think she's real, do you?

- I haven't a clue what's what at the moment, Mary.

Granny's so, she's,

and we don't seem to be able to be in the same room

without arguing.

I just miss my little girl.

(shouting) - Anastasia!

Where are you?

- Hello, Mary.

My name's Dr. Heaney, and I don't bite.

- Well, I might.

- Quite.

So when did you first meet Anastasia?

- I'm only here because I lost a bet with my mammy and ...

- Mary, don't be rude.

- It's okay, Mrs. O'Hara.

Stress can make us feel ...

- I'm not stressed.

I just need Granny to be better.

- And that's just what we're trying to do in this place?

- Maybe this should cook her up something that might help?!

- You seem to have been doing a good job yourself.

- I don't believe it.

- Well, you should know the food around here is ...

- I can assure you, Mary, the food is very nutritious.

- I'll bet you bring sandwiches.

You do, don't you?

-Well, er, some ... sometimes.

- Can we go back to Mary, please?

- Is there anything else that's been on your mind ...

... apart from Anastasia.

- I have odd dreams.

- Oh, and what happens in these dreams?

- I'm a dog, a big dog, and I go ...

(howling)

- Hmm.

- Well, I thought that went well.

- Oh, did you? You were so rude.

And don't give me that being honest rubbish.

Dr. Heaney was trying to help you.

Dr. Patel trying to help you.

I'm trying to ...

(gasping) Whoa!

- That'll be my imaginary friend.

I was calling you yesterday. Where were you?

- I'm not a dog, you know.

You can't whistle and I go running.

- I needed a rest.

- Did you give your granny my message?

- Yes.

This is my mammy.

- You must be Scarlet.

- So you're Anastasia.

- Do you want to come in?

- Yes, Um, sorry.

- Water didn't boil on its own in my day.

- What do you mean your day?

It makes you sound ancient.

- Mary.

- Do you know?

You two could be sisters.

- So Anastasia, what do you want with my daughter?

- I just wanted her to give her granny a message.

- Well, what was this message you gave my mother?!

- That it'll all be grand.

- What's all grand about my mammy dying?

- Dying isn't all bad, you know.

So long as your time's right.

- Why are you doing this to us?

- Fridge raid.

- Hungry. Me, hungry.

- What time is dinner, Ma? - Fridge raid completed.

(eerie music)

(porcelain clattering)

- Sorry about that.

Disappearing really takes it out of me.

- Why do it?

- I don't want everyone seeing me.

Oh, girls, you're not telling me you haven't guessed it.

- Are you telling us you're a ghost?

- Wow, so you're like haunting us?

- Shh, Mary, she's no ghost. It's just a trick.

- I have another name you might recognize.

I'm a shorter than Anastasia.

- And?

- Tansy.

I never met my granny.

She died of the flu years before I was born.

Her name was Tansy.

- So you're saying you're my great granny's ghost?

- Er, hello?

Dr. Patel?

Oh.

No, I understand.

We'll make our way over.

Thanks for ringing.

It's granny.

She's not good.

- What are we gonna do? - Better put on your raincoat, Mary.

- I'd like to see Emer too.

- Can she, Mammy?

Well?

- Okay. But don't go upsetting her with this ghost rubbish.

Paddy, Mammy's not good.

Can you feed the lads?

I'll call you when I can.

Okay, love you, bye.

- We have to get her something healthy to eat.

- Okay, but let's be quick.

(music)

- So what other ghostly things can you do?

- We don't all stick our heads under our arms, you know.

- Say you are a ghost.

Why are you here?

Why now?

- The flu took away my time with Emer.

Took me before I was ready.

- She got the flu too. She told me.

- A lot of people did, but she beat it.

Had a fine life.

But now she needs my help.

- What do you mean, had?

- Emer's preparing to go now.

- Go where?

- She means Granny is going to die.

- Come to take my Granny away.

(music)

- Death is part of life.

(Gaelic song)

- It's okay, they don't bite.

- There'd be no famine in here, that's for sure.

- We've got company. - Is he following us?

- He's like a policeman.

Well, at least he thinks he is.

- Look at this! A chicken!

It's already plucked!

- Stop!

- You're making him more suspicious.

- I'd give him something to be suspicious about.

- Watch this.

So good.

- Whoa.

(laughing)

(screaming)

(laughing)

- That was awesome.

- Yes, but it takes a lot out of me.

- Where have you two been? We've gotta get going.

- Chilling.

- Keep the change.

- I'll just park the car.

See you in a sec.

- Well, let's go see Granny.

- I can't. - Of course you can.

- It's just like the supermarket. - The problem is the lights.

The brighter they are, they've done me in so they have.

- Ghost?

Ghost!

- I think we'd best check your medication, Mr. Rooney.

- She disappeared right in front of us.

- There, there.

- I have to see Emer.

She hasn't much time now.

- I don't want Granny to die.

- I know, but she needs our help.

- Okay, I'll go get her.

But you better make sure everything is grand.

- Got yourself a deal, Mary O'Hara.

- Wait for my mammy.

I'll be as quick as I can.

(music)

- Just going to give my Granny some fruit.

- Oh, she'll like that, love.

(female computer voice) - Doors closing.

(female computer voice) - Doors opening.

- Oh, hello, Mary.

Where's your mother?

- She's parking the car, Dr. Patel.

Can I take my Granny down for a walk?

- Nice idea, but she's too weak, I'm afraid.

I'll explain it to your mother in detail

when she's here.

- Well, okay.

Here, to go with your sandwich.

- Thank you, yes. Sandwich.

(soft music)

- Granny, Granny.

- Is that Mary?

- Do you want to go on an adventure?

There's someone who wants to meet you.

- Well, there's nothing else going on around here.

- Oh, so sorry. It took ages to park.

Where's Mary?

- Here.

- Are you kidding me?!

(yelling) - Woo-hoo!

- What did Dr. Patel have to say about this?

- He was too busy to notice.

- I'll pop her straight back.

- Right, well that's okay then.

(laughing)

- Granny, I said someone wanted to see you.

- Mary.

Hello, Emer.

- Oh, who's this?

- Sure you know who I am.

(music)

Have you come to collect me ... Mammy?

- Not yet.

Look at you, you'll catch your death.

- Bit late for that now, love. - Come on, back to the ward again.

- No, Scarlet, I'm not going back in there.

It's time to go home.

- Well of course, you can stay with us,

but I'll speak to Dr. Patel.

- No, to Wexford.

- To your old home?

- Wexford, it's such a long drive,

and it's late already, and ...

- Wexford.

- Well, Mammy?

- I cannot believe we're doing this.

(goofing off, sticking out tongue)

(laughing)

- You're right in the back.

- Oh!

Amazing.

- Oh yeah, it's a weird one, that.

(screaming)

- Easy, Mary.

- Does it hurt?

Dying?

- Like I said, it'll all be grand.

- Oh no, I know who that'll be.

- Hello? - Hello, Dr. Patel.

- Scarlet, is your mother with you?

- Yes, yes, she is.

- Yeah, I really can't tell you

how irresponsible you are being.

Your mother needs specialist treatment.

- Well, I'm sorry, Dr. Patel, but it feels right.

She needs to be with us now.

- I can arrange for her to be an outpatient.

- Just bring her back.

- Doc, I ...

- Hello? Scarlet? Can you hear me?

- You're breaking up, sorry.

- Awesome.

- No, it wasn't.

We need petrol.

- Do you know what?

I'd laugh and ice cream, a big one with sprinkles and sauce,

but not nuts, they play havoc with my teeth.

- I want a burger.

- And you wanting to be a world famous chef?

- I'm having the afternoon off.

- Not more sliding fans.

What's wrong with handles?

Why is everything in such a hurry?

- Welcome to the home of fast food.

(people chattering)

- I wouldn't feed that to my greyhound.

- That dog?

- Still angry with the lad, eh?

- Dogs are unlucky.

And they're vicious.

- That's your grandmother speaking, Emer.

She never did like him.

She said he gave you the flu that killed you.

- Dogs don't give you the flu.

- I, I know that.

But I could have.

I did, didn't I?

I got the flu and I gave it to you.

- To think you've been holding that in all these years.

- Hmm.

- Emer.

A lot of people had the flu back then.

It was only a matter of time before I'd get it.

Come on, let's get this down us.

- Not long now.

I'm sorry for not believing you, about ...

...about Tansy and all.

- There is a lot to believe.

You are forgiven.

- Why, thank you.

Right, somewhere around here.

- Don't turn off.

Keep driving.

- I thought you wanted to go to Wexford.

- There's something else we need to do.

Something more important.

- Like what?

Look, this is nuts. You aren't well, Mammy.

- She's right.

- I am?

- You'll both do as you're told.

It's my last request.

Now ... who's going to pull me out?

(muffled voices) - Francis, make sure you thoroughly clean those artichokes

And keep your station nice and tidy.

- I can't wait to sample your deconstructed cottage pie, Nathan.

- I promised I'd be back.

- Oh God, it's them.

- Well, there isn't much time left, I'm afraid.

- Less than an hour.

Well then, you better get cracking, Mary.

Go on then.

A good chef doesn't need much time.

- What do we do, so?

- We find somewhere quiet so Emer can rest.

- I'm gonna have plenty of time to rest soon enough.

I'm staying put.

- So, what are you going to cook in 45 minutes?

- There aren't many ingredients left.

- Colcannon.

- Colcannon it is.

Good luck.

since I've had colcannon.

- Simple food.

You are either very brave or very foolish.

- Brave? It runs in the family.

- Well?

- Well?!

- It's a sensation.

I could eat this all day.

- A masterpiece, Mary.

- Yes, yes, thank you.

Did you hear that, Granny?

Mammy? Tansy?

So cool, isn't it?

- Yes, so cool, my dear.

Well, you are certainly into the summer camp.

She's quite a talent.

You must be proud.

- Oh, I am.

I don't know where she gets it from.

- Well, never judge a book by its cover.

And what do you mean by that?

Every woman in my family has got

more talent in her little finger than those eejits

- I'll see you in a couple of weeks then, eh?

- Yes.

Will you be coming alone?

- Yes.

Granny won't be here.

- What about you?

- What are you waiting for?

- Mammy? - Yes?

- Can I have some proper chef's knives?

- Early birthday present. I'll be careful.

- I'll ask your dad.

Dad!

Oh, I left the phone off.

Call him, will you, Mary?

- Isn't that illegal?

- Hands-free.

Oh, it's on message.

Um, hey, Paddy.

We're on a bit of a road trip here with Emer.

I'll give you a ring later to explain.

... love to the boys. And you.

I feel bad. They should be here too.

- Car is too small. - You know what I mean.

They love Granny.

- It's okay.

I've left them my Elvis records.

- Mammy.

- All right.

We're here.

- Whoa!

- Whoa!

- Whoa!

- Whoa!

- Whoa!

- Whoa!

- Okay, Mary.

Break out Granny's wheelchair.

- I don't suppose you're in the mood for climbing, Granny?

- Away with you. - Okay, Tansy.

Up you come.

- Oh, very clever.

- Hey, Scarlett, what are you doing up there?

- Yeah, very funny. Ha ha!

- So overgrown.

No one's lived here since you left.

- I've been here before.

- Whoa!

- I dreamt about this place.

- Careful, Mary.

- I was a big dog.

I was running.

And then I saw you.

- Me?

- As a little girl, like in your photo.

You were leaning into the well.

- No one was about.

I had to stop you, save you.

I'd already lost Tansy.

Not you too.

- You scared me.

Granny thought you were attacking me.

- I saved you.

The Greyhound saved you, Granny.

- I didn't know that.

I was only little.

So tired.

- Come on.

Let's get you out of the wind.

Memory.

Remember the fire in the grate, Emer?

- Well, will you look at that?

- Oh, lovely.

- Your favorite spot, eh?

- Yes, Mammy.

I can still smell the dog.

- Do you hear that?

Look.

- Oh ... a hegg.

- A fine class of an egg, full of new life.

- You should put it back, love.

- There you go.

- I love you, Emer.

And I've always looked over you.

I want you to know that.

- Is it time?

- Mammy.

What are you doing over there, love?

- Oh, Mammy.

- Don't worry.

It'll be grand.

Mary, don't forget now.

None of that modern muck, right?

- Not a chance, Granny.

- Ah, I know that kiss.

It's me ... Scarlett.

(eerie music)

(Gaelic song)

- Hello, Mammy.

- Food! I need food!

- Hungry. Hungry. Hungry.

- I'm bigger!

- I'm starving!

- You're always starving.

- Not half as much as me.

- First, come over here and give your mammy a big hug.

- Huh?

- You want to eat again?

Ohhh.

Mammy's little angels.

And guess who got into summer school?

- Go you!

- I knew you'd nail it.

You'll be a top chef yet, Mary.

- I've missed you, you know.

- Then you'd better get your bum over to England then.

There's plenty of room.

- Time for summer school.

- Gotta go.

Yes.

- After you, Chef.

(singing) - Shrimp-ooh.

(singing) Shrimp-ooh.

(singing) Shrimp-ooh.

- Hey, you two.

(singing) - Shrimp-...

- Is someone here who wants to say hello?

- Oh, look at him.

[barking]

- Fresh from a well.

One rescue dog.

[barking]

- Hello, you.

- Oh, he's amazing.

- Ohh ... I'm Mary.

[barking]

- What's his name?

- I was taken ... Elvis?

- Elvis?

How are ya, Elvis?

- Come on, Mary.

[barking]

- Ready?

- As ready as you'll ever be.

- You're so cheeky.

- I'm a rip, alright.
