0:00:02 > 0:00:04My mother had rarefied tastes in poetry.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07Though she had a biding fondness for Tennyson,
0:00:07 > 0:00:10she read Auden to us, and Yeats, and Eliot.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13My father liked his poetry simpler -
0:00:13 > 0:00:16rousing stuff with a simple moral at its core.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19He recited Dangerous Dan McGrew to us.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23And Gunga Din, and If,
0:00:23 > 0:00:28but his special favourite was a poem by J Milton Hayes.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31I'm on my way!
0:00:31 > 0:00:37A story of a stolen talisman, and the curse that came with it -
0:00:37 > 0:00:41The Green Eye Of The Little Yellow God.
0:01:18 > 0:01:24Halloween, ladies and gentlemen.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28A time of ghouls and ghosts,
0:01:28 > 0:01:32of spooks and spectres,
0:01:32 > 0:01:37of whispers in empty rooms,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40of menace and mayhem.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43SINISTER LAUGH
0:01:43 > 0:01:49Listen as if your life depended upon it.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Because, tonight...
0:01:52 > 0:01:54it might.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Kathmandu.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07There's a little marble cross below the town.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11There's a broken-hearted woman
0:02:11 > 0:02:14tends the grave of Mad Carew,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18and the Yellow God forever gazes down.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22He was known as "Mad Carew"
0:02:22 > 0:02:24by the subs at Kathmandu,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28he was hotter than they felt inclined to tell.
0:02:29 > 0:02:35But for all his foolish pranks, he was worshipped in the ranks,
0:02:35 > 0:02:40and the colonel's daughter smiled on him as well.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46He wrote and asked what present she would like from Mad Carew.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50They met next day, as he dismissed a squad,
0:02:50 > 0:02:55and jestingly she told him then, that nothing else would do,
0:02:55 > 0:03:00but the green eye of the little Yellow God.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Wait till you hear the next bit. "He returned before the dawn..."
0:03:04 > 0:03:09He returned before the dawn, with his shirt and tunic torn,
0:03:09 > 0:03:13a gash across his temple dripping red.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17He was patched up right away, and he slept through all the day,
0:03:17 > 0:03:21and the colonel's daughter watched beside his bed.
0:03:22 > 0:03:28He woke at last and asked if they could send his tunic through.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31She brought it, and he thanked her with a nod.
0:03:33 > 0:03:39He bade her search the pockets, saying, "That's from Mad Carew,"
0:03:39 > 0:03:47And she found the little green eye
0:03:47 > 0:03:49of the god.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Oh, what's that?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Oh, it's Yellow Man.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I bought some for Kate, from the hideous child.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08She wasn't hideous, poor little thing.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10She was plucky. The way she worked that hall.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Yuck, though.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Who killed him, Dad? Who killed Mad Carew?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Well, that has me beat, Francis. And do you know what?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I'm not even sure you're meant to know.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Why not?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Well, that's the mystery. That's what keeps people guessing.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29You know, was it the men who believed in the god,
0:04:29 > 0:04:31or was it the god himself?
0:04:31 > 0:04:36- It was the men.- Maybe. Or maybe it was the god's vengeance.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40What it tells us is that there's a price to be paid
0:04:40 > 0:04:43for everything taken from its rightful owner.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Or even from the place it's meant to be.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48What?
0:04:48 > 0:04:53Amen to that. Come on, let's get these hungry children home.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06How do you feel now, Maisie?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Burning up, Mammy.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I sent in to Newtown for Dr Black.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17He said he'll come if he has time.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22She brought home them things yesterday.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26From thon dump on the 'drome. Never off it.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33I'm scared she's after picking up some disease at the same time.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Did they see us?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45There's only one of them. And he didn't.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Come on.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Ah, come on, Francis. Don't be a feardy cat.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01I'm not afraid.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Mum told me not to go.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Sure, she has to say that.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10She's the mistress - but that doesn't mean you have to listen.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Come on.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43Show us that.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Och. Why is it always you? That's the best yet.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I'll swap you.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Seamie...- Shh.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Wait till we see here.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10What do you like best of my stuff?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13I don't want to swap. Really, I... WHISTLE BLASTS
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Run. It's Stagger.- Stagger?
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- He's a Yankee peeler. Quick! - WHISTLE BLASTS
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Come on, you eejit. Do you want to get catched?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27You two!
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- SINGSONG:- Stagger, Stagger, can't catch us.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- WHISTLE BLASTS - Hey!
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Come on!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Well, I'll not keep you, Mrs Coyne.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03I've been down in one of the cottages.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05A girl there is ill. Really quite ill.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Maisie Quinn?- Oh.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10She may have scarlet fever.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I believe her sister works here as a maid.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Sally. Yes, her brother works on the farm, as well.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Well, they'll both have to stay away from this house,
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Mrs Coyne, I'm afraid.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Scarlet fever is highly infectious to young children.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24We can't take any chances.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Dr Black says you're both to stay away from Quinn's house.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Maisie Quinn is not very well. Keep Kate away from there.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Emma, that's your job.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Francis, don't pick up things you find on the road.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Wash your hands, and don't go near the dump.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Not that you ever would. All right?
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Shouldn't Maisie be in hospital?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Well, I can't get her into Magherafelt at the present time.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Why not?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Her condition isn't sufficiently critical or, to be blunt,
0:08:55 > 0:08:56she's not sick enough.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59However, if it develops into scarlet fever, then they will admit her.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01So you'll monitor her condition?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Mrs Coyne, I'm a doctor, not a nurse.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I've an outbreak of measles in Newtown,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08and a great many house calls to make to people who pay me
0:09:08 > 0:09:09and expect me to turn up.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Dr Black... - Mrs Coyne, I will do what I can.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I'm sending Sally home until her sister gets better.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35IF she gets better. Maisie Quinn is sickly. Always has been.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- She should be in hospital. - That is exactly what I said.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Apparently, if she gets really, really sick,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44they'll deign to admit her.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46How will they know, huh?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I asked Bloody Burgess Black if he would monitor her condition,
0:09:51 > 0:09:57and he said, "Mrs Coyne, I'm not a nurse but I shall do what I can".
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Some nurse!
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Come here.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I'm being hard on old Burgess.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10He says he'll try his best, and I know he does it pro bono.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13They can't pay him, Rose. It's as simple as that.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17I couldn't pay him, either, to come out every day.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20And he might come out for you, because you're English,
0:10:20 > 0:10:22but he's not going to work for free
0:10:22 > 0:10:25for a wee know-nothing girl on a boggy shore.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Rose?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- What...?- Pen.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39OK, what are you doing?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Writing a request.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46For a nurse, to monitor Maisie.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48To Santa Claus?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50To there.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I'm certain that place up there is full of nurses.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01We have quite a sick girl in the village.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Her parents cannot afford to have the doctor call out routinely,
0:11:06 > 0:11:10but if a nurse were to check up on her each day -
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I believe there are a number up here on the aerodrome -
0:11:12 > 0:11:15it might save her life.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18And it would be a huge gesture to the local people.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20The Quinns are pillars of our little community.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24I've written it all down, logically and sensibly,
0:11:24 > 0:11:26so you can show it to whomever.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32I will speak to Colonel Cresswell, and then to Tillie.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Tillie?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Lieutenant Zeigler. From the Nurse Corps.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41She would nominate a nurse if this plan were agreeable to the Colonel.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42As I'm sure it will be.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Rose.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Thank you. Thank you so much.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Mrs Coyne.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:12:17 > 0:12:19What I have to tell you is a tad awkward.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Oh?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I thought I should perhaps revert to formality.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Gosh, formality?
0:12:25 > 0:12:26It's OK, Mrs Coyne.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32Erm, a quantity of paint has gone missing from stores.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36The military police are going to be searching local land and buildings,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38including your husband's.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42They're friendly, despite their fearsome white helmets.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45They'll be accompanied by your local constabulary.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47And, of course, you have nothing to fear, Mrs Coyne.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48No, of course not.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55And I'm going to talk to Colonel Cresswell right now
0:12:55 > 0:12:58and get permission to talk to Lieutenant Zeigler
0:12:58 > 0:13:01about your request for a nurse officer.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Tillie.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Yes. Short for Matilda, I believe.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10You can call me Rose again, now that you're not warning me.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Short for...
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Rose.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Goodbye, Captain Dreyfuss.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Rose.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Kettie.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Mrs Coyne.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I was just passing.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57I seen you.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- Well, I thought I'd...- Call in?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- See how the baby was. - BABY CRIES
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Aye, that's her. Betty. She has a cold.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07Oh, no...
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Poor thing.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Is she getting enough, erm...?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17No. Likely not.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I have some things of Kate's.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- They're warm, and I can't use them. - BABY CRIES
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I thought I might drop in with them.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Aye. Surely.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Next time I'm by, then.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41BABY CRIES
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Mammy, where's Sally?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02We won't be seeing her for a little while.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06She went home last night to look after Maisie. So...
0:15:07 > 0:15:09..I'll be cooking.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11And if things are different to what you're used to with Sally,
0:15:11 > 0:15:13no complaints.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Even about the tea?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17I admit, I cannot compete there.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20She is the Wizard of a Quarter Oz. Ta-da!
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- Did you make that up yourself? - Of course.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Smart girl.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I married a smart girl, children.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30KNOCK AT DOOR
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Who's calling at this hour?
0:15:32 > 0:15:33I'll get it.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- Mrs Coyne?- Yes.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- You're the nurse! - Lieutenant Zeigler. Tillie.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Rose. Rose Coyne.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Captain Dreyfuss said I should call by.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54That is so quick. I have tea on the table. Would you like a cup?
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Thanks. I'd better get going.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57I can't be off base for too long.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Which house is it?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01It's the cottage. I'll show you.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Do you want me to walk down with you?
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- I have a Jeep.- Of course. Gosh!
0:16:06 > 0:16:10But, I mean, you don't need to walk, it's just the one at the end.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12You're so good to come.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Thank Ron Dreyfuss. He's a tough guy to say no to.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Captain Dreyfuss - do you like him?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I mean, as a superior officer?
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Well, he's not technically my superior. I'm in the Nurse Corps.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25But do I like him?
0:16:26 > 0:16:27You bet.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30He's kind of cute.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- The cottage?- Yes.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44"You bet. He's kind of cute."
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Rose Coyne, you're a fool.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Want a drop, young Coyne?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03I'll try a drop.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11HE CHUCKLES
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I'd say you would, Kettie Brady's cub,
0:17:15 > 0:17:16if you're anything like your da.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- VOICE ON RADIO:- 'Germany calling. German calling. Germany calling.'
0:17:23 > 0:17:25What's Germany calling about, the night?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27'You are about to hear our news link.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32'To say the British Empire is in danger today...'
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Turn thon oul blirt off.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36'..would be a very feeble understatement.'
0:17:39 > 0:17:42The Germans are bait, no matter what he says.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45Give us Athlone.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52MUSIC PLAYS Aye. That'll do.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Did you see thon nurse the day?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59The one that's looking after Maisie Quinn?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02I seen her. Driving a Jeep.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07She'd make a great wife that one, huh? Drive you everywhere, huh?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Drive you astray in the head, I'd say. She's a yank.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- Do you know what she's called? - No.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Same name as that lamp there.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Hurricane?
0:18:25 > 0:18:26HE LAUGHS
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Tilley, you ganch! Nurse Tillie!
0:18:33 > 0:18:37THEY SHOUT INDISTINCTLY Enough!
0:18:37 > 0:18:38The pair of yous.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42You wouldn't need a nurse if it wasn't for thon place up there.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46First they drive us off our land,
0:18:46 > 0:18:51and then they infect us with disease and pestilence.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52What?
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Maisie Quinn.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02Sure, everyone knows she caught that scarlet fever from the dump.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I never heard that.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06I never heard that either.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Sure, she was never off it.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Morning, noon and night, hunting for bangles and musk.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I tell you one thing -
0:19:18 > 0:19:23scarlet fever's not the worst thing you could catch up there.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Excuse me, please. I have to go. - Francis!
0:19:27 > 0:19:30And what's wrong with him?
0:19:30 > 0:19:32It's order, that cub's getting.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Bed.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Is that Dettol?
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Yes.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31I, uh, washed my hands specially, like you told us, with the...
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Maisie being sick and everything.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Good.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Now, wash your teeth, just as carefully, though not with Dettol.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52HE IMITATES PLANE ENGINE AND GUNSHOTS
0:20:55 > 0:20:57ENGINES APPROACH
0:21:08 > 0:21:10All right, let us do this, gentlemen.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12And let courtesy be our watchword.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- Sergeant.- Sergeant Steiger.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26KNOCK AT DOOR
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- Mrs Coyne.- Oh.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36I'll get... I'll go and get Michael.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38With you now, gentlemen.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40If you could show us the sheds, Mr Coyne.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41I'll just get my keys.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Well, Michael...
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Make sure you check at the back of the house.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59Why are you hiding?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I'm not hiding.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I think he's after me. And Seamie.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Both of you, I should think. But why?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Seamie shouted at him. The big one.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15"Stagger", he called him.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Seamie's a cretin.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I don't think he recognised me, but if he gives Dad a description...
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Calm down, small boy.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24They're not after you, or Seamie.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26Then why are they here?
0:22:26 > 0:22:27They're searching.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28For a plane?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Yes, a plane(!)
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Dad's gone and hid a bomber down in the duckhouse(!)
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Didn't you notice it last time you were down there?
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Yeah, that'd be silly.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40So what are they searching for?
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Stuff that got stolen. Mum told me.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45She's very cross about it.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Says it's "draconian",
0:22:47 > 0:22:51which she hopes I'll have to look up, as usual.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53I'm going to snoop. Are you coming?
0:22:55 > 0:22:56What kind of stuff?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00That's for me to know and you to find out.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10I'm sorry about this, Michael. I... I know you're not involved.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18There's nothing in here.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Except for us chickens!
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- Cheers.- To the US Air Force.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Apologise for any inconvenience caused to you, Mr Coyne.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Mrs Coyne.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Why were they searching here?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47What Dreyfuss said. White paint.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49I know what they were looking FOR, Michael.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51I want to know why they were looking for it here.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Well, I suppose they're searching every place.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58They're not searching Rosie's, or Tommy John's -
0:23:58 > 0:24:01or even the Hanlons', and they're as shady as you could wish.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Any chance of two bottles of stout, Michael, for the way home?
0:24:05 > 0:24:06With you now, Failey!
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- I'll see to him.- It's OK, I'm...
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Give me your keys.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12I'll get you your drink, Failey.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Straight to Magherafelt. The fever ward.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Can I go with her?
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Sorry, kid. Army personnel only. Right, Lieutenant?
0:24:32 > 0:24:33I'm saying nothing.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36OK. This one time.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Heard it coming.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Maisie's away, then?
0:24:55 > 0:24:56She'll be fine.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Little you care, Failey.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02You couldn't even be there for us this one time.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11Mrs Coyle?
0:25:13 > 0:25:14It's Coyne.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17What can I do for you?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Sean Hamill said to call around.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23I don't know anyone called Sean Hamill.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Well, Mr Coyle does.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Does he?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29And is Sean Hamill one of his suppliers?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Oh, he'd be that, OK.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Look, Hamill said Mr Coyle would be interested in some cigarettes.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38What kind of cigarettes?
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Ah, look, do you want me to spell it out?
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Free State cigarettes. Sweet Afton, Players.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Hamill said you'd be interested. If you're not...
0:25:47 > 0:25:50My husband may be. I'm not.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Suit yourself.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56And tell Mr Hamill, if you see him,
0:25:56 > 0:25:58not to call by here any more, either.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Maisie off safe?
0:26:06 > 0:26:12You know, all the time she was over there, God forgive me,
0:26:12 > 0:26:15I couldn't help thinking that one of ours might catch it.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Sean Hamill?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Was he here?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Someone was here who Hamill sent round.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26So Coyne's shop is obviously on the map
0:26:26 > 0:26:28as far as the profiteers are concerned.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32Rose, "profiteers"? That's Pathe News stuff.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37Now everyone, every wee shop between here and Magherafelt, is on the map.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- And lucky to get on it. - We're off it.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Rose, what are you after doing?
0:26:42 > 0:26:46I told him, whoever he was, not to call by here any more,
0:26:46 > 0:26:48and to tell his friend Hamill to do the same.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51If we can't do this honestly, then we shouldn't do it at all.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57You'd think I was a... I don't know what.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Murderer, or something.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Why is nobody talking?
0:27:20 > 0:27:21What do you mean?
0:27:21 > 0:27:22You and Dad.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24I can tell when you're not talking.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27I'm talking.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31If anybody would talk to me.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Why don't you tell the children why we're not talking, Michael?
0:27:35 > 0:27:38So they can see the rights and wrongs.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40So it's not just two stupid adults,
0:27:40 > 0:27:42rowing about something that's not important.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Go on. Explain to them.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Rose, a word.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Excuse me, children.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Don't do that to me, Rose.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Do what?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Make you confront your actions?
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Worry the children with some sort of mystery about right and wrong.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24It isn't a mystery, Rose.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26And the rights and wrongs aren't as right and wrong
0:28:26 > 0:28:28as you're making them out to be.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32Now, I'm trying to keep us afloat here, Rose.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Is that what you want me to confront?
0:28:50 > 0:28:52It's a stout there, Michael.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Freezing on the lough the day.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Slack evening without the pilots, huh?
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Your doing, Davey.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43KNOCK AT DOOR
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Captain Dreyfuss.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52It's a little bit late, I know.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56Hard day up on the base. Erm...
0:29:56 > 0:29:58I was just on my way to Quinn's cottage,
0:29:58 > 0:30:00and I thought I should call by to tell you
0:30:00 > 0:30:03that Lieutenant Zeigler managed to get the girl into the hospital.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06I know. We saw the ambulance.
0:30:07 > 0:30:08Thank you.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12You may have saved Maisie's life, and the community will be grateful.
0:30:12 > 0:30:13Won't you step in?
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- Your husband? - My husband is working...
0:30:18 > 0:30:19but he'd want me to invite you in.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27- I'm afraid we don't... - A cup of coffee would...
0:30:27 > 0:30:29THEY LAUGH
0:30:30 > 0:30:35Plan B. I know Americans don't much like tea.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36We have some whiskey.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Tea's fine. I would love a cup of tea.
0:30:50 > 0:30:51Then I must go.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04I'm glad you called by, about Maisie,
0:31:04 > 0:31:08although we already knew. We saw the ambulance.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Clang, clang, clang.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15It formed a suitable backdrop to our own little...drama.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24You don't want to hear about domestic ups and downs.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Well...
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Maybe not the downs...
0:31:28 > 0:31:31though I guess they come with the territory.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Come to think of it, I'm not that familiar with "domestic" either.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43You don't walk any more.
0:31:46 > 0:31:47Don't I?
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Not at the Far Rock, where we met that day.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53I walk there occasionally.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59I didn't want to scare the natives. Plus it's getting really chilly.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01I'm not a native.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04A stranger, like you, and this can be a very strange...
0:32:04 > 0:32:06SHE SOBS
0:32:11 > 0:32:14I'm sorry. It's been a trying day.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18You're upset. I should go.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Oh, God. Sorry.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26It's Maisie, and... just a lot of things,
0:32:26 > 0:32:29ordinary stuff I ought to be able to cope with.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Sorry. I don't know what came over me.
0:32:36 > 0:32:42I feel like I should be able to make you stop being sad.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46No, you can't do that.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53You've done enough for the strange inhabitants of Moybeg.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54For one day, at least.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25ENGINE STARTS
0:34:37 > 0:34:38Your man called late.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04What was his errand?
0:35:07 > 0:35:09He called by to tell us about Maisie.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16I hope he got better manners than me.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43PIGS OINK
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Oh, piggy!
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Oh, you're such fat boys, piggies!
0:35:48 > 0:35:50And you smell horrible.
0:35:54 > 0:35:55Oh, I feel sick.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Me, too. They stink.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06Are you all right, Katie? No? Come on, let's go.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12Mum! Mum!
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Mum! Kate vomited.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16I think it was that pig of hers.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Oh, poor thing. Let's bring her to the table.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Get that dress off her, Emma.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24What happened, Katie?
0:36:24 > 0:36:27The pigs smelt so bad, I almost vomited myself.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Emma...
0:36:37 > 0:36:41I need you to get to the post office and call Dr Black.
0:36:41 > 0:36:42His number.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Newtown 28. Can you remember that?
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Ask him to come out as quickly as he can.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Here. Pennies. Here, for the phone.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Go on. Quick.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55And ask your father to come over as soon as he can.
0:36:55 > 0:36:56OK.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Good girl.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Do you want to lie down on the table for me, Katie?
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Now I need you to let me see under your arm.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12ROSE GASPS
0:37:14 > 0:37:18Now, I know you're very cold. We need to keep you warm.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Need to keep you warm.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Mrs Coyne. Michael.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31Well, she has scarlet fever, and she needs to go to the hospital, now.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35I'll bring her. Would you carry her out to the car, please, Mrs Coyne?
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Mum?
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Dr Black is taking Kate to the hospital.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50- Oh, God, Mum. Is it...?- Ssh.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52It's going to be fine.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Seamie!
0:38:05 > 0:38:07You have to stay away from the people.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- I am away.- Further.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Listen, my sister's got scarlet fever. It's our fault.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18It may be your fault...
0:38:18 > 0:38:20but it's not my fault.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22How's it my fault?
0:38:22 > 0:38:23Maisie got it from the dump,
0:38:23 > 0:38:25so Kate must have got it from the dump.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Aye. And who brought home thon plane from the dump?
0:38:28 > 0:38:30I did.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35So, whose fault is it, then?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Who's that you're talking to?
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Francis Coyne.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Francis, you know you're supposed to stay away from Seamie
0:38:41 > 0:38:44till this clears up, don't you?
0:38:44 > 0:38:45Well, go on home, then.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Tell the mistress I'm sorry about the wee girl.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Well, they think they've identified the source
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- of Maisie Quinn's infection, and Kate's.- Oh.
0:39:19 > 0:39:20A child was admitted
0:39:20 > 0:39:23to the infirmary in Londonderry, Tuesday last.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25She was the daughter of an actor
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- from a travelling players company. - Marsden's?
0:39:28 > 0:39:32That's the name. And, of course, the company had visited Moybeg.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35That's the girl, Michael. The little one with the tray.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37She sold that awful yellow sweet to Kate.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Well, the child's infection had a very long incubation,
0:39:40 > 0:39:41but they got her to hospital
0:39:41 > 0:39:44as soon as it was clear that she had scarlet fever.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47And... Well, how is she?
0:39:47 > 0:39:48I'm afraid she died.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56Oh, poor, plucky, little thing.
0:39:56 > 0:39:57Yes.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01So, the next two days are going to be the big hurdle for Kate.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22DOOR OPENS
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Little pale fellow.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12How do you feel?
0:41:13 > 0:41:16I'm all right, Mammy.
0:41:16 > 0:41:17What about Kate?
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Kate is going to be fine.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Captain Dreyfuss.
0:41:45 > 0:41:46I brought you some gas.
0:41:48 > 0:41:49Gas?
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Petrol. I keep forgetting we're in England.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Ireland!
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Michael! Come and see...
0:41:57 > 0:41:59It's about four gallons.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01It should be enough to get you to the hospital a few times,
0:42:01 > 0:42:03to see your daughter.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Captain Dreyfuss has brought us petrol,
0:42:07 > 0:42:10so we can get to Magherafelt. I don't know what to say.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Thank you, Captain Dreyfuss.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- We're very grateful. - Let me help you.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19I'll put it in the barn loft.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22I won't forget this.
0:42:53 > 0:42:54Mum!
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Mum! Mum! I found...
0:42:58 > 0:43:01- Where's Mum?- Upstairs.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09I'm glad YOU'RE happy.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12I wasn't happy. I was excited.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21- Mum!- Francis.
0:43:22 > 0:43:23Can I tell you something?
0:43:29 > 0:43:31Why is this happening to us?
0:43:32 > 0:43:34I don't know.
0:43:36 > 0:43:40Maybe, just maybe, we could start with those tins in the cupboard...
0:43:40 > 0:43:42Och...
0:43:42 > 0:43:45And the men I don't know who come calling
0:43:45 > 0:43:47with stuff I don't know about.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50And the paint...
0:43:50 > 0:43:53I have no paint. They searched. You saw.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58They didn't search the lint hole.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10Francis found them.
0:44:10 > 0:44:12He doesn't know YOU hid them.
0:44:14 > 0:44:15You have to stop, Michael.
0:44:18 > 0:44:19I'll lose my customers.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21Then lose them!
0:44:22 > 0:44:24And you won't, as it happens.
0:44:24 > 0:44:25It's their ration books that tie them to you,
0:44:25 > 0:44:27not stolen goods, for God's sake.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31You have to stop.
0:44:31 > 0:44:33All I know is that we're paying the price for something right now,
0:44:33 > 0:44:36- whatever it is.- "Whatever it is."
0:44:38 > 0:44:41I'll tell you what it's not.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43It's not a few fags and some corned beef.
0:44:44 > 0:44:48And half a dozen tins of paint that I didn't even want, that Podalski -
0:44:48 > 0:44:51or whatever his name is - left down instead of bloody paying me.
0:44:53 > 0:44:54KATE MURMURS
0:44:57 > 0:45:00And how is it always me that's doing the wrong thing?
0:45:02 > 0:45:03Why is it never you?
0:45:23 > 0:45:26There's a nice head on that stout, Michael.
0:45:26 > 0:45:28It's too fizzy sometimes.
0:45:30 > 0:45:33You heard about young Maisie Quinn?
0:45:33 > 0:45:35- What?- Did you not hear?
0:45:37 > 0:45:38She died today.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01BELLS TOLL
0:46:37 > 0:46:38What?
0:46:44 > 0:46:46I'm stopping, OK?
0:46:49 > 0:46:51Me too.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58Sure, what have you to stop?
0:47:19 > 0:47:21Bless me, father, for I have sinned.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24Three months since my last confession.
0:47:29 > 0:47:30I dealt in stolen goods.
0:47:34 > 0:47:36Stolen goods. What do you mean - cigarettes?
0:47:38 > 0:47:40Meat. And paint.
0:47:42 > 0:47:46Paint? Stolen from where?
0:47:47 > 0:47:49The 'drome.
0:47:51 > 0:47:53How many tins?
0:47:56 > 0:48:00Five, six. Six tins. Cans.
0:48:03 > 0:48:04And what colour?
0:48:06 > 0:48:07Huh?
0:48:07 > 0:48:12Material attribute of the sin. What colour was the paint?
0:48:12 > 0:48:13White.
0:48:14 > 0:48:15White.
0:48:18 > 0:48:20Anything else?
0:48:22 > 0:48:23Cursed a number of times.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26Lost my temper.
0:48:26 > 0:48:27Three Hail Marys.
0:48:29 > 0:48:31Oh, have you made restitution?
0:48:33 > 0:48:34Restitution?
0:48:34 > 0:48:36Have you given the paint back yet?
0:48:39 > 0:48:40Not yet.
0:48:41 > 0:48:43But I will.
0:48:43 > 0:48:44Good.
0:48:47 > 0:48:48All in good time.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15- Nightmare?- Oh, Mum.
0:49:15 > 0:49:17Poor man. What's happened?
0:49:18 > 0:49:20It's all my fault. Kate being sick.
0:49:21 > 0:49:23I went to the dump with Seamie,
0:49:23 > 0:49:27and I brought back a thing, and now Kate's caught scarlet fever from it,
0:49:27 > 0:49:29- the way Maisie did.- Listen...
0:49:29 > 0:49:33- Now she's going to die. - Francis, listen.
0:49:34 > 0:49:37You were told not to go to the dump, and you went,
0:49:37 > 0:49:40and you have paid a price, and the price is fear and pain,
0:49:40 > 0:49:41but not scarlet fever.
0:49:42 > 0:49:47Not your sister's illness. They are not the price of going to the dump.
0:49:49 > 0:49:52We know where the scarlet fever came from,
0:49:52 > 0:49:55and it did not come from the dump. All right?
0:49:55 > 0:49:57- Promise?- Promise.
0:50:00 > 0:50:02Think you'll be able to sleep now?
0:50:04 > 0:50:05Off to bed.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14What was the thing you brought back?
0:50:14 > 0:50:17A toy plane. But I washed it. I promise.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20- ROSE SIGHS - With Dettol!
0:50:20 > 0:50:22That was the smell.
0:50:23 > 0:50:25You can show it to me tomorrow.
0:50:25 > 0:50:27We'll make sure it's clean.
0:50:28 > 0:50:30Now, bed.
0:50:32 > 0:50:34I'll be in in a minute.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47ROSE TAKES A DEEP BREATH, SIGHS
0:52:50 > 0:52:52Francis, Emma, I'm better!
0:52:57 > 0:53:01All right, you two, don't smother her...
0:53:01 > 0:53:03MICHAEL CHUCKLES
0:53:17 > 0:53:18Michael!
0:53:18 > 0:53:20Father.
0:53:20 > 0:53:24You know, I've been thinking, Michael.
0:53:24 > 0:53:26The, er...
0:53:26 > 0:53:27The church could do with a coat of paint.
0:53:29 > 0:53:33It's got rather shabby in recent years, do you not think?
0:53:33 > 0:53:35I couldn't afford to paint the church, Father.
0:53:35 > 0:53:36I could make a donation,
0:53:36 > 0:53:39but the whole church - that's a lot of paint.
0:53:39 > 0:53:41I know, Michael.
0:53:41 > 0:53:42I know that.
0:53:45 > 0:53:47I recognised your voice, Michael.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53What about the confidentiality of the confession box?
0:53:53 > 0:53:55Well, this is confidential, Michael.
0:53:55 > 0:53:57This is between you and me ...
0:53:57 > 0:53:59and God.
0:53:59 > 0:54:01And his rundown chapel.
0:54:01 > 0:54:05I'm taking the paint back. Making restitution, like you said.
0:54:06 > 0:54:09Michael, restitution is going to be difficult.
0:54:09 > 0:54:12Smuggling tins of paint back onto a heavily guarded base...
0:54:14 > 0:54:15I wouldn't like to try it.
0:54:17 > 0:54:23But, er, theologically speaking, I think I can help you here.
0:54:25 > 0:54:30You see, when you make restitution,
0:54:30 > 0:54:34it means you have to remove yourself from benefitting from your actions.
0:54:34 > 0:54:37It doesn't necessarily mean you have to give it back
0:54:37 > 0:54:40to where it came from.
0:54:40 > 0:54:41As such.
0:54:43 > 0:54:45So...
0:54:45 > 0:54:47Tomorrow?
0:54:48 > 0:54:49Early.
0:54:50 > 0:54:52Say, before you open?
0:54:53 > 0:54:54Aye.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21It's just a little treacherous here, Michael.
0:55:21 > 0:55:22Aye.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28They're in here. Let's have a look.
0:55:34 > 0:55:36Well, they WERE in here.
0:55:38 > 0:55:40Somebody's after lifting them.
0:55:44 > 0:55:47You're not, er, not playing a trick here, Michael?
0:55:49 > 0:55:50Not, er, jesting?
0:55:50 > 0:55:52They were in there. Half a dozen of them.
0:55:56 > 0:55:59Ah, this parish is full of thieves. Do you know that?
0:56:02 > 0:56:04Full of thieves.
0:56:08 > 0:56:09Aye.
0:56:10 > 0:56:12OLDER FRANCIS: My mother never told me
0:56:12 > 0:56:15who had put the tins of paint in the lint hole -
0:56:15 > 0:56:18though I worked it out myself many years later -
0:56:18 > 0:56:22only that we were going to do the right thing and put them back.
0:56:22 > 0:56:25And so we brought them, that evening, to the perimeter fence
0:56:25 > 0:56:26by the Bombstore Road,
0:56:26 > 0:56:29to the hole where Seamie and I used to wriggle through,
0:56:29 > 0:56:31and we stacked them there,
0:56:31 > 0:56:35knowing that the military police patrolled that area every day,
0:56:35 > 0:56:36and would find them.
0:56:38 > 0:56:41And then we went home together
0:56:41 > 0:56:43in the twilight,
0:56:43 > 0:56:45my mother and I.
0:56:53 > 0:56:54Auntie Vera!
0:56:54 > 0:56:56You know, I was thinking,
0:56:56 > 0:56:59you're even improved since the last visit.
0:56:59 > 0:57:01Look, I'm very fond of her. Why wouldn't I?
0:57:01 > 0:57:03She's Rose's sister, but she's a loose cannon.
0:57:03 > 0:57:05Her and drink don't mix.
0:57:07 > 0:57:10- Good morning.- Oh, my gosh!
0:57:10 > 0:57:12He is so gorgeous!
0:57:12 > 0:57:14Rose!
0:57:14 > 0:57:16You're married.
0:57:16 > 0:57:20To a man who does not entirely fill your inner space.
0:57:27 > 0:57:29I made a promise to get over you, and then I broke it.
0:57:29 > 0:57:33and then I thought I'd been saved despite myself and now...
0:57:33 > 0:57:35now I'm lost again.
