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.

I'm very sorry for your troubles, sergeant.

She was a lovely woman.

Yes, she was, Lass.

Thank you, Mary.

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?

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!

Vagina!

That's nice talk.

Heh heh heh.

Watch 'em on the take out.

All right, Danny. Keep 'em moving.

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'.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Who's there?

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.

By God, this shirt's a dinger.

I wouldn't mind wearing it myself.

Every woman in the country will be ballin' for you.

3... 2...

1...

Go!

Bungee!

A big round of applause!

Big round of applause

for another qualified bungee jumper!

Anyone that's brave enough to free-fall 180 feet?

You can experience the thrill of a lifetime, folks.

What have we got?

You get quite a landing if the elastic broke,

and you come down on your head.

Cause some brain damage, huh?

To get up there,

you wouldn't have a brain in the first place.

Have you got anyone there, folks?

Yourself, sir? No? You want to jump?

Anyone else there want to jump?

Bungee jumping here, folks.

Do not hesitate, and do come forward.

Bungee jumping here, today.

Do come forward

and we can explain to you

all about your bungee jumping.

You will be free-falling

from 180 feet.

Travelling approximately 80 miles an hour,

and bouncing back up to the sky.

Hey!

Feel like bungee mania today?

Do come forward and...

You can experience the thrill of a lifetime.

Here we go.

We have a guy coming through here now.

Give him a round of applause,

ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to bungee-mania.

Come on, Danny!

Sign your life away, Danny.

Now, let's go.

Remember what I said to you, Danny.

Just move a piece. You're ok.

You're ok. I have you.

You're ok. Ok?

That's it.

Keep relaxing

and keep looking out in front of you, ok?

Ok, everybody!

He's in the jump procedure.

Everybody looking up.

Everybody giving a count.

Are we ready?

Look, I don't want to.

I changed my mind.

2...

1!

Go!

Aaaaaah!

Aah!

Fuckin' hell!

Good man, Danny!

Bungee!

Hey!

Let's give a big round of applause

for our daring, qualified bungee-jumper.

Bungee mania... 180 feet.

Anybody else? It's your turn...

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?

Push!

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.

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.

Come out here, you!

I want you!

Come on.

You've got your own bed to sleep in.

Hop to it.

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.

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!

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!

Didn't they teach you anything

about the great famine

Famine isn't only food.

The mouth wants more than spuds.

Suppose you thought you were gonna be

sitting in the kitchen all summer,

gas bagging with mum.

Empty that!

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.

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?

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?

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?

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.

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.

Come on!

Come on.

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...

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?

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.

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.

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!

Toss your wienie out, boy.

That's yours, friend. Get onstage.

Flavor, a little flavor.

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!

See that, Danny?

I, uh...

I... I saw ya...

I...

What's your name?

None of your business.

He's the one I told you blessed the pig.

Annagh, Annagh Lee.

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.

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.

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.

I think you are the wind,

full of it, anyway.

The guards!

The guards!

Will you come to the cinema Friday,

at the Luxor in clores?

I will!

Get out, boys!

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.

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.

I'd better go.

Bye.

Mum, you know.

Bye.

Come back here! Where are yas going?

Brrr.

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?

It looks remarkably like a rock.

It's called an oda. It's used by otters.

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.

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.

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.

♪ Looking for somebody new ♪

♪ Wonderin' ♪

♪ 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!

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.

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.

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?

Get him, Prunty.

Prunty! Prunty!

Ah! You're just in time

to see my great manly skills, Annagh.

Where is that shagging ball?

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?

A baby.

Waaaah.

Waaaah!

Mommy, heh, waaah!

Heh.

Daddy.

Heh.

Next time, put a knot in your dangler.

Are you Annagh's mother?

Mary!

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.

Leave her, lad.

Leave her.

Annagh.

Annagh, open up.

Annagh, it's me.

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.

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.

Don't get off the fucker, monkey!

Kick the gear!

Coco!

Aah! Coco!

Get help quick, you bullocks!

Hang on. Hang on, Coco.

There's help comin'.

Coco! Unh!

Coco!

Run! Run!

I'm sorry.

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.

Annagh?

Annagh?

What?

Coco's dead.

No.

Oh... oh, no.

Come on.

Nuh! Aah!

There, Danny!

Aah!

There. There, there's something!

It's moving. Get... Get it out!

Aah!

Kill it!

Kill it!

Aah!

Danny!

Oh.

Ah.

Unh, aah.

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.

What the hell?

We had nowhere else to go.

It's over, sergeant.

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.

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!

Keep it going.

Keep it going there.

Keep your eyes down, lads.

Are you receiving me, tango 4, over?

Yeah, this is tango 4.

Proceeding westly.

Still no sign of anything, over.

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 idiot 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.
