Bye -bye.

Hello.

Stay in bed.

You wait here.

I found you.

I'll get some paint today.

It will be alright.

It's broken.

It needs to be repaired.

I'm sorry.

They're paracetamol.

A bit old.

Yeah.

Are you still in pain?

Well...

Doctor.

Yes?

I mean, no, no.

There are no doctors.

Just me. I'm Sarah.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.

Yes.

Are you ready?

Sure. Yes.

I had to chop more wood.

Been keeping the fire going.

Hope you're warm enough.

Where's Sarah?

Yes, that's right.

Can you remember?

Sarah. Don't worry.

I've made you some soup. You'll like it.

It will be all right.

Is that the doctor?

No.

There is no doctor.

There's just me.

No one else.

This is an island.

Oh, do you like that?

It's one of my favorites.

It takes a piece of wood and gives it life.

That's what a New York art critic said about me.

I heard you talking to someone.

Oh, did you?

Come on. I helped you sit up.

I talk to myself sometimes.

Perhaps that's what you heard.

I made it specially.

I'm a sculptor.

What cover?

What do you do?

Yes. I like to live with the wood.

There's good driftwood.

And, of course, the Irish pine.

That's nice to work with.

Where's that island?

No, this is an island.

Of the west coast of Ireland.

In the United States.

How funny.

Is it because you're an American?

That's strange. You can't remember anything.

The islands off Ireland have no trees.

I remember that from school.

The soup.

Why can't I fly away?

Why can't I fly

away?

You ought to stay here.

I'm warning you.

You're not going to leave me here.

Don't leave me.

I don't like it here.

You can't leave me. I'm sorry.

Everyone's always sorry, but they still leave.

Don't forget that.

They always leave.

You'll only get hurt.

It's not worth it.

I know.

I've learned by your mistakes, Mother.

You're quite good today.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.

I'm sorry. I knew you would be better today.

I bet you're hungry.

How long have you been here?

This is my second year.

Don't you get lonely?

I like being on my own.

Besides, the supply boat comes every two months.

Doesn't sound healthy to me.

Why isn't it?

That's mine.

I'm sorry.

It was on the floor.

It was nothing. A null letter.

I got it in the safe.

Didn't look that old.

Well, it was.

I should have thrown it out months ago.

It was nothing.

Is he coming to visit?

Sorry? Your boyfriend?

Don't worry. I'm sure he'll understand. Besides, he'll have a boat. I'll be able

to leave.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Your boyfriend.

The letter.

I don't have a boyfriend.

Any friend.

Nothing. No one is coming to see me. No one.

This is an island, and there's only you and me, and we're stuck here.

I'm sorry you found my companion bearable.

I should have guessed.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.

I'm sorry.

Those are the first words you've said to me all day. Well said.

Don't move. I don't want you breaking your other leg.

And you, you filthy goat, you're going back to your shed.

You filthy goat!

You're ridiculous.

Come on.

Some dirt.

I

do

look a bit silly, don't I?

No.

I'm sorry.

I'm just... I'm just not used to having someone around.

I mean, I'm so used to being on my own.

Well, I would leave, but... No, no, I wouldn't want that, really.

I like you here.

Oh, I've noticed.

No, really, I do.

It's just that I get a bit nervous.

Not at me.

I'm not going to hurt you.

No, of course not.

So, how big is this island?

Oh, not very.

Two hours, I think, all around.

By walk, I mean. To walk?

Or you've got a bicycle?

What do you mean?

You've got a bicycle?

No.

Oh.

Is it night?

The island?

Oh, yes, yes. It's lovely.

This is the most isolated part.

You know, there is a path through the wood. It gets very steep.

Quite a climb.

It takes you to the top.

And from there, you can walk all the way around.

There are lots of rabbits.

Have to leave that root out for another day.

Maybe a week.

That's all right.

In a few days, I'll be able to hobble around the yard.

Look, after only four days, I could get to the window.

Four days?

That's right, isn't it?

Four days?

Morning, Miss Simony.

This is a nice surprise.

Come to help me carry the stuff down?

No, it's all right, Mr. MacTavish. I brought my own cart.

I'll carry them down myself. You have no need to bother.

It's no bother.

It'll be too much for a slip of a thing like you.

Besides, I enjoy the walk.

No, no, I do. It's really, I insist.

No, no, no, look, at least let's share.

Half and half.

I'll take the big half.

No.

I'm doing a new sculpture. I don't want anyone to see it before I finish it. It

will disturb me, really.

Artists are like that.

As you wish.

I'll take it a little way, if you like.

No, no, no. And in the future, I don't want you coming down at all. Never.

You must deliver only as far as here, and I'll meet you.

Is everything all right, miss?

Everything is fine. Wonderful.

Here is the next order.

So you'll only deliver to here.

Whatever you say, Miss Jimenez.

When will you be able to settle up?

You're a bit behind, Miss... Oh,

Miss Jimenez.

I forgot.

Don't you want to know who it's from?

I was wondering if it's what we're both waiting for.

Thank you, Mr. McTavish. Good day.

Sarah?

Oh, hi.

Where have you been?

I left some traps out.

I forgot about them.

Traps?

Rabbit traps.

They're little cages.

Warriors are cruel.

Yes. Are they? I guess I... Then what?

I shoot them, of course.

I think it's more humane than breaking their necks, don't you?

I never really think about it.

Sarah? Yes?

Sorry, I need to use the room.

Oh, yes, yes.

Call if I need you.

So this is where you sleep?

Well, where do you expect me to sleep? You're in my bed.

What's the matter?

I'll do it.

Yeah.

Nice pants.

They're my summer clothes.

The shirt?

My father's.

He in France?

No, he... He died about ten years ago.

How about your mother?

Also dead.

Two years ago her heart broken

You think I am a city boy?

It's nearly winter, you know.

You'll catch your death.

Better?

Don't you ever get fed up living here?

Lonesome? Yearn just for the sound of a human voice?

I've always got the radio.

Radio? What radio?

In the workshop.

There's an old battery one.

Why didn't you say so before?

Is it important?

Is it important?

I mean, yes, of course it's important.

There could be news. I mean, they could be looking for me.

I could find out who the hell I am.

Or I could adapt it, use it to broadcast, get off this island before

in. Well, you have to fix it first.

Why's that?

It broke a few days ago.

I knocked it onto the floor.

It doesn't work since.

Go get it.

Okay. Here.

I brought you some screwdriver.

See what you can do? I've missed it.

Good morning.

Morning.

Feeling good?

I am.

What have you got?

Oh, great.

Great. Thank you.

I miss these, though.

Don't worry.

I know what I'm doing.

I saw it in a film once.

Film.

I'm sure if you just give me a mirror, you know... No, no, I'll do it.

Are you ready?

I guess.

There. That wasn't too painful, was it? No.

There.

Not bad.

Looks like a skinned rabbit.

And now... Where are you going?

Sarah!

Sarah!

Sarah!

Listen, it's a search plane. It's looking for me. It must be... It can't

have to go out. It can't be a plane.

Then what is it?

We have to go out. This is my only chance.

I do. You stay here. I do.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Are you on the way, son? Yes, Dad. I think so.

You're not allowed.

This is a private beach. Go away.

You could have killed us.

Somebody could have got hurt.

You're trespassing. This is a private beach.

Come on, Dad. He's mad.

Go away.

I listen to you.

Come on, Dad. It's not worth it. You've got no right to... Go away.

Shit.

All right, son. Leave him. Leave him.

Wait! It was too far to see.

I fired the gun and waved, but he turned away.

Did it see you?

I adopted you.

I'm sorry.

No, stay there!

I've made you a present.

So you can hobble. You made these?

Uh -huh.

Oh, these are great.

These are great.

Now, don't overdo it.

Just run the yard where I can keep an eye on you.

Until you're stronger.

Thank you.

You're very beautiful.

There. Now you can go out to play.

I'll put a coat on you.

I don't want you getting cold.

Don't wander off.

No matter how much you love someone, they always leave.

You let father go, mother.

He had to leave.

Just because you couldn't keep your man, it doesn't mean that I can't keep my...

Yes? Who is it?

Guess.

What do you want?

What's the matter with you? You've got a man in there?

No, no.

It's just... I don't like people to come in here. It's my workshop.

I'm an artist.

The stove. I don't know how to use it.

It's time to bring them in. Are you coming?

Yeah.

Would you be warm enough? I'm fine.

Always play this game. I don't know why she bother.

I'm not playing today, Sam. Come on. Sam!

No, it's all right. She's nervous of strangers.

I got her. On one leg? Yeah.

Come on, Sam.

Come here.

Come here.

Come here.

No, don't go there.

Leave her.

I've nearly got her.

Leave her.

We'll get her later.

Might as well get her now. Come on, Sam.

My God.

enough wood, isn't it?

Nothing's happening here.

Squeeze then pull, not the other way.

Look at that.

And the new hay is over there.

Now you promise?

I promise.

Okay.

Close your eyes.

Closed.

Okay, now open your eyes.

I'll be damned.

I made some apple pie.

Hi. Hey.

What have you got?

It's a present. A present? What's this?

Look at that.

It's you.

Really?

Interesting.

That's great.

What's up? The water, it won't come out. Yes, it's frozen.

Take it from the kitchen.

Frozen? Sure.

Winter's upon us.

Haven't you noticed?

Oh, dear!

It's all right. It's not serious.

But I broke your statue.

Easily repaired. Just a bit of glue.

See?

Lance, they're so cold.

It's winter.

Have you noticed?

It's getting colder.

It's an omen.

Nature.

Men don't like it.

Your father didn't like it.

Everything's fine.

He loves me.

I know he loves me.

I picked a statue.

Oh, good.

How bad does it get here?

Do we get snowed under?

Maybe.

How about the supply boat? Can I get through?

We have plenty of supplies.

We could be snowed under for six months and still manage. Six months.

What's the matter with you? Nothing.

Come on.

It's not going to be a warm fire.

Where does it lead to?

The beach.

And the other?

The woods.

Can't you get to the rest of the island that way?

There's a steep climb.

Look at me.

Who am I?

What is my fucking name?

I love you. That's all that matters.

I'm just scared you're going to leave me.

Come inside.

No, I'll stay a bit longer.

The path around the island, I want to... No, you're not strong enough.

It's too steep.

You can barely make the yard.

I want to try before the snows come.

There's nothing up there. It's not worth the effort.

That's just desolation. That's nothing.

I want to try before the snows come.

We can go to the beach.

You haven't seen the beach.

It's lovely. You'll like it.

Ten minutes. That's all it will take.

We could do it now if you want. I want to see the island.

Don't you understand?

I feel stuck here like some goddamn cripple. Please, please. I beg you not

go. Stop it. It can't be that dangerous.

Yes, it is. It is.

Please, please.

I'll see how I feel in the morning.

You're beginning to panic.

To lose control.

Just like your father.

He never had much control.

I'm in perfect control.

Nothing is fine.

You're just having a day out, that's all.

Why don't you take me with you?

You want a breather?

No. Let's take it a bit slower.

Okay.

You look like some old war hero.

Maybe I am.

Who knows?

How are we doing?

Want to race?

Where to?

That pile.

And I hop on one foot.

Yeah? All right.

I'll give you a four -hop start.

Thank you. Ready?

One, two, three, four.

No, I'm fine.

It's all right.

You built them well.

Yes, so I did.

Come on.

I'll race you again.

No, no, no. No more racing.

Oh, don't be a sore loser.

Come on.

Stop fussing, I'm fine.

You know I love you very much.

And I'd do anything for you, anything.

Sarah, this is a strange time for some... Declarations of love.

I just wanted you to know that.

Yeah, well, I do.

Can you give me a hand please?

The crutch just gave way. It's my fault. I didn't realize.

Stop it, Sarah. The leg is fine.

How are the crutches?

Oh.

It's broken.

How are you feeling?

A bit bruised. My spirit.

Rest today.

Tomorrow the beach.

Good.

The patch for you.

Ship on the horizon!

What, a ship?

Oh, I'm sorry, darling. It's just the old wreck.

Come on!

Not a ship in sight.

No.

Sarah, what's that?

Sarah,

what would happen if I discovered I was married and had a family?

How would you discover that?

When I leave.

Why should you leave? What if you're happy here?

I spoil it.

Stay with me.

Be with me.

I hope that this is good.

What's about it? There's smoke.

So? So, don't you see? The island, it's inhabited.

Oh, yes, I forgot about that place. He's just an old fisherman.

One of the smud Irish excentrics. If he's a fisherman, he's got a boat.

So? If he's got a boat, I can get to the mainland.

You can't leave me. It's not too far.

Do you propose to swim?

Sure, swim, whatever.

No!

Sarah, at some point I have to go.

You know I have to.

Why do you pretend?

I don't pretend.

You can't leave me.

So I come back.

I promise.

Right? I'll come back.

When? In ten years?

No.

I don't want us to have to struggle through winter with my legs. And if the

snow... Oh, the snow. The snow.

You men.

You always have to fight against nature.

Well, nature says I love you. And nature says you have to stay here.

Fight against that if you can.

You can't make me stay.

I love you, don't you understand?

And I'd do anything to protect my love. Anything.

By making me stay.

If I have to, yes.

I'm sorry, my darling.

I really am.

What are you sorry about?

What a little argument.

What a thief, that's all.

Just like it was with me and your father.

There's nothing like that.

Nothing.

You and father, you're always going on about you and father.

But I'm sick of hearing about it. Do you hear?

Sick of it.

He wants to leave.

He's had his fun, now he wants his independence.

Just like your father.

Father didn't want his independence.

The reason he left is you couldn't hold him.

You were too soft and weak, too easy.

Well, I'm not. I've learned.

You see?

I'm only telling you what I think is best.

A mother knows.

Give up. Let go.

Too difficult.

It'll never make you happy.

Will you stop talking?

I'm only telling you the truth.

Shut up!

You can't tell me to shut up.

You can't.

Can't I?

Can't I?

What are you doing?

Sarah, what are you doing?

Mommy.

Thought I ran out on you, eh?

I was just curious.

What are you making?

Found some wire in the shed. Thought I'd do a bit of fishing.

Oh, you should have asked.

I've got one in the workshop.

I could have made you one.

I wanted to make my own.

That's wonderful.

Now we can both go.

Are we going then?

I'm shaving.

I'll be ready when you are.

I don't think I'm going.

Hello That

looks good

Damn it.

Hello? Are you about?

Oh, Miss Jiminy, I thought you must be in your workshop.

Oh, Mr. McTavish, no, I was just having a sleep.

Being busy, eh?

Yes.

Sorry to disturb your work.

I thought this warm spell is bound to bring on the snow.

I didn't want you stuck with no supplies.

They say it's going to be heavy this year.

They? The weathermen.

Don't you listen to the radio, miss? It's all they've been talking about.

It's broken.

You should have brought it in.

I'd, uh...

Fix you up, no bother.

Are you okay, miss?

You don't look well.

I'm just a little bit tired.

Well, sit yourself down.

I'll take this, bring it into the workshop.

No, it's all right, Mr. MacTavish. I'll do it myself.

No, I wouldn't dream of it.

I've come all this way.

A few more yards won't make any difference.

If the kettle's hot, I'll have a cup of tea, though.

Mr. MacTavish, just leave them there. It will be all right.

The door is open. I might as well just put them in for you. No, no, no. Just

leave them there. It will be okay.

They're too heavy for you, miss.

If you're worried about my seeing your work, I promise I won't look.

Please, Mr.

MacTavish.

I'll leave them just there.

I noticed there were no letters for you this time, Miss.

I was wondering... Yes, yes.

Your bill is mounting up, you see.

When do you think you'll be able to settle up?

So

this

is what you've been hiding.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

It's all right.

It's all right. You've cut yourself.

It's nothing.

It's all right.

We're going to be so happy together.

Maybe we should try to leave together.

Go somewhere warmer.

But should we want to do that?

It's just an idea.

Come on, let's see this masterpiece of yours.

No! Not now.

Maybe in a few days.

No, I want to see it now.

No, I can't show it to you now. You wouldn't understand.

What are you so nervous about?

It's only me, not the big art critic. Come on. No!

Okay, I'll wait till later when you're asleep. I'll sneak in myself.

No, you mustn't. I'm not joking.

You mustn't go in there to see it.

What's the matter with you?

Something's happened. I'm going to take a look in your workshop. It has nothing

to do with the workshop. So what has it got to do with?

Are you going to tell me?

Or are you going to do another little dance telling me I'll have you?

What happened?

Happened?

I... Yes?

I'm going to have a baby.

What?

I didn't know how to tell you.

You sure?

I've expected for about a week.

This morning I felt sick. I knew for sure then.

Are you pleased?

Yes, yes, of course I'm pleased, Mary.

Make love to me I'm

sure

it's safe

Thank you

Morning

darling Making coffee

Darling?

Hello?

I've got to go.

I've got to go. For both of us. Let me go now.

No, I can't. I can't. Sarah, I'll come back.

Sarah, I'll be back.

But let me go.

Now.

You'll never come back. I know you won't. My motherless brother. No, you'll

never come back. But I won't let you go.

Leave it.

Stop it.

But I love you. I don't love you.

I don't love you.

Is he breathing?

O 'er the land of the free
