0:00:03 > 0:00:07So ladies and gentlemen - to Brenda,

0:00:07 > 0:00:10who is leaving the hospital to go to America.

0:00:10 > 0:00:14Well, Boston's gain is Dublin's loss. And good luck to you, Brenda.

0:00:14 > 0:00:16- EVERYONE:- Brenda.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19# For she's a jolly good fellow... #

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Quirke! What are you doing here?

0:01:09 > 0:01:13Oh, no - the other way around, Mal. This is my office.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16I'm Pathology. You're Obstetrics.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21What are YOU doing down here, among the dead men?

0:01:21 > 0:01:23I had a thing to check.

0:01:23 > 0:01:24Ah.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29Christine Falls?

0:01:29 > 0:01:33It's late, Quirke. You should go home.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36I was just having a few drinks upstairs with the nurses.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39Brenda Ruttledge, you know her?

0:01:39 > 0:01:41She was having a bit of a going-away party.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Going to America to try her luck.

0:01:44 > 0:01:45Ah.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49How's Sarah?

0:01:49 > 0:01:52She's well.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Why the er, the glad rags?

0:01:54 > 0:01:58We were at a dinner. The Knights of Saint Brendan.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Good night.- Good night, Mal.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Dr Quirke?

0:02:35 > 0:02:36Brenda!

0:02:36 > 0:02:40I've always wanted to do that! Good night!

0:02:40 > 0:02:41Good luck, Brenda.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Morning, Sinclair.

0:03:44 > 0:03:45Dr Quirke.

0:04:11 > 0:04:16Sinclair? Did you do Christine Falls this morning?

0:04:16 > 0:04:17Who?

0:04:17 > 0:04:21Falls. Christine. Young. Blonde.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23She was here last night, now she's gone.

0:04:23 > 0:04:24This is how it was when I came in.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27Well, get her back, will you?

0:04:27 > 0:04:28I want to do a proper PM on her.

0:04:33 > 0:04:34Sarah?

0:04:38 > 0:04:42- Can you give me a hand to do this blessed thing up?- Of course.

0:04:45 > 0:04:46Is Phoebe home?

0:04:46 > 0:04:47She won't be late.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53She'd better not be, on this of all nights.

0:04:55 > 0:04:56You're too hard on her, Mal.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Did you invite Quirke, by the way?

0:05:01 > 0:05:05I did, but he won't come.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09He'd rather be propping up the bar in McGonagle's than

0:05:09 > 0:05:14celebrating his father's honour and after all he's done for him.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19Well, I'm not sorry he won't be here.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21The man puts everybody's back up.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Not mine.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25No, not yours.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28DOORBELL

0:05:28 > 0:05:29It's OK, Maggie.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Garret. Come in.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35- Am I the first again?- Ah...

0:05:35 > 0:05:37I'm always too early.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40We'll have time to chat before the others come and monopolise you.

0:05:40 > 0:05:41There we are.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Good evening, father.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45And er, congratulations.

0:05:45 > 0:05:46Ah, there you are.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Do you call this a low dive?

0:05:56 > 0:06:00Low enough. What would you like to drink, Phoebe?

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Gin. I want gin.

0:06:02 > 0:06:06Gin and tonic, Dave. More tonic than gin.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09They're trying to make me give him up. Even Grandad.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11They say he's "not our sort".

0:06:11 > 0:06:13And a Protestant to boot!

0:06:14 > 0:06:16They're such snobs.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20So what does er, what does your mother say?

0:06:20 > 0:06:22"Now, Phoebe, you must think of the family.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26"Think of your father's reputation!"

0:06:26 > 0:06:30Your face! You won't hear a word said against her, will you?

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Was she always like that?

0:06:32 > 0:06:36Sarah the good girl and Delia the bad one?

0:06:36 > 0:06:37So what do you want me to do?

0:06:37 > 0:06:41Talk to them. Talk to Grandad. You're his blue-eyed boy, after all.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46And Daddy will do whatever Grandad tells him.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49So are you er, are you in love with this boy?

0:06:49 > 0:06:51God, no!

0:06:51 > 0:06:53You're not thinking of running away again, are you?

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Maybe I'll elope with you.

0:06:56 > 0:06:57Ha! No, thanks.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01It wouldn't be incest. You and daddy aren't real brothers, after all.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03And we could go to Boston together!

0:07:03 > 0:07:04I hate Boston.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Why? You all loved it when you lived there.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Jesus Christ in gaiters - if it isn't Doctor Death!

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Oh, no. Hello, Brendan.

0:07:12 > 0:07:13And who's this?

0:07:13 > 0:07:15My niece, Phoebe Griffin.

0:07:15 > 0:07:21By God, Doc, they're making nieces nicer every day! Griffin, though.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25No relation to the great judge Garret Griffin, I suppose?

0:07:25 > 0:07:27No, no. Completely different family, Brendan.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30- He's my grandad.- Come on.

0:07:30 > 0:07:31Grandad, is it?

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Do you know he's the one that sent me down in '45

0:07:34 > 0:07:35for setting off a couple of firebombs?

0:07:35 > 0:07:39Three years in the boys' jail your grandad gave me, the old sod!

0:07:39 > 0:07:42A boy of 16! What do you think of that?

0:07:42 > 0:07:44We're just going, Brendan. All the best.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48And now he's after being made Papal Count!

0:07:48 > 0:07:51If Count's the right word exactly.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Phoebe, where have you been? Your father has been...

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Oh. Quirke.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04I'm just bringing the black sheep home.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06It's all right, Mal, I'm not staying.

0:08:06 > 0:08:07Oh, but you must.

0:08:11 > 0:08:15The Judge would never forgive me if I let you go without seeing him.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Sure?- Come on in.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20I thought you weren't coming, you rascal!

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Phoebe insisted. And congratulations.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26Count Garret Griffin. That has a ring to it.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28Actually it's Garret, Count Griffin.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31That's the proper form of address.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35Malachy, my boy, would you ever go and get your thirsty brother a drink?

0:08:35 > 0:08:38What do you think you are doing? Phoebe?

0:08:38 > 0:08:41She looks as if she's had a couple already.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Is this true?- It was my fault, Mal. I took her to McGonagle's.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47Do you think it's funny to take a girl of her age

0:08:47 > 0:08:48to a place like that?

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Why don't we all step into the dining room?

0:08:50 > 0:08:54McGonagle's, is it? Lord, I haven't set foot in that den of iniquity

0:08:54 > 0:08:56for I don't know when!

0:08:56 > 0:08:59Let's go in. I'm hungry - if no-one else is!

0:09:10 > 0:09:13- What the hell are you playing at, Quirke?- Nothing, Mal.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18You come to my house drunk,

0:09:18 > 0:09:22you get my daughter drunk on the night when our father...

0:09:22 > 0:09:24I'm sorry.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26You've no place here.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31All right, what was Christine Falls about?

0:09:31 > 0:09:35- Was she your patient, Mal? - Don't you think you've caused enough trouble tonight?

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Is that why you came to my office last night?

0:09:38 > 0:09:40How did she die, Mal?

0:09:42 > 0:09:43Negligence cases...

0:09:43 > 0:09:45It wasn't negligence!

0:09:50 > 0:09:52I think this might be yours.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54You left it behind in the office yesterday.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Just stay out of it.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05It's nothing to do with you.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16Pulmonary embolism, my foot.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19I can't make out the doctor's signature.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23Well, I suppose whoever it was must have done it out of delicacy,

0:10:23 > 0:10:26to preserve the poor girl's character.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10I don't want anything.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12It's about Christine Falls, Miss Moran.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24RADIO PLAYS: "Memories Are Made Of This"

0:11:25 > 0:11:28SHE SWITCHES RADIO OFF

0:11:28 > 0:11:30I know who you are, you know.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35I used to work for the Griffins.

0:11:36 > 0:11:37I didn't know that.

0:11:37 > 0:11:41Oh, yes, when Dr and Mrs Mal first came back from Boston,

0:11:41 > 0:11:45I used to look after their little girl. Phoebe her name was.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Sorry, I don't...I don't remember.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50Ah, well. After your wife died, you weren't around much.

0:11:54 > 0:11:59I did the postmortem on Christine. I know how she died.

0:11:59 > 0:12:04Chrissie. Never called her Christine. Chrissie, her name was.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Would you like to tell me what happened?

0:12:12 > 0:12:13Ah, it was terrible.

0:12:16 > 0:12:17Something went wrong.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22She was bleeding - the sheets were soaked.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25By the time the ambulance came, it was too late.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29Maybe it was for the best.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32What kind of life would she have had, her or the child?

0:12:34 > 0:12:36I knew a girl had a baby like that.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39They took it off her, put it in an orphanage.

0:12:39 > 0:12:44And you know what it's like to grow up in a place like that.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49Why did you call a consultant?

0:12:49 > 0:12:51Why didn't you telephone for the ambulance yourself?

0:12:51 > 0:12:57God love you. I called Dr Mal because Chrissie wanted him.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59Sure she used to work up at the house too.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Or do you not remember that either?

0:13:03 > 0:13:04What happened to the child?

0:13:07 > 0:13:09A little girl it was.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11And what happened to her?

0:13:13 > 0:13:14Forget about her.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18I've said more than I should have already.

0:13:20 > 0:13:21Is she alive?

0:13:25 > 0:13:26Did she live?

0:13:35 > 0:13:36Um...

0:13:38 > 0:13:42Here's my card. You can telephone me any time you want.

0:13:44 > 0:13:45And thank you.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51I've it all written down, you know.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54And I know where to send it, if anything should happen.

0:13:54 > 0:13:55And that's all I'm saying.

0:14:02 > 0:14:03No, no, thank you.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06Oh, come on, Mal, have a drink with me for once.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08No. Thank you.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12I wanted to apologise.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14For what?

0:14:14 > 0:14:15Last night. I was out of order.

0:14:17 > 0:14:18You were.

0:14:23 > 0:14:27This girl, Christine Falls.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32I got her back from the morgue and I did a PM on her.

0:14:32 > 0:14:37You lied to me, Mal. Pulmonary embolism?

0:14:37 > 0:14:39You could've come up with something better than that.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41And you weren't looking up her file,

0:14:41 > 0:14:45you were signing her death certificate with your left hand,

0:14:45 > 0:14:47to disguise it. Now what the hell were you up to?

0:14:49 > 0:14:52You've er...kept this to yourself?

0:14:52 > 0:14:53Yes, I have.

0:14:56 > 0:14:57I'm not your enemy, Mal.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Now what about the girl?

0:15:02 > 0:15:06I know she worked at the house, I have that from Dolly Moran.

0:15:06 > 0:15:07What else did she tell you?

0:15:07 > 0:15:11Not much. But she has it all written down.

0:15:11 > 0:15:12She told me that.

0:15:16 > 0:15:23Chrissie was going out with some fellow and er - the usual.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25We had to let her go, of course.

0:15:27 > 0:15:31I arranged for the Moran woman to look after her.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34I got a call that night. I sent an ambulance.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39It was too late.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41But why would you go to all that trouble?

0:15:41 > 0:15:43Why would you risk your career?

0:15:43 > 0:15:45Look - I did it for the family.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Whose family? - The girl's, of course.

0:15:50 > 0:15:51What about the father?

0:15:51 > 0:15:55I tell you, it was just some fellow. We didn't even know his name.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01Should I believe you, Mal?

0:16:01 > 0:16:03I don't care whether you believe me or not.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08What about the child?

0:16:08 > 0:16:10What about her?

0:16:10 > 0:16:12Where is she, Mal?

0:16:12 > 0:16:13Gone.

0:16:14 > 0:16:15Stillborn.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23Sad business.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26Very. But these things happen, you know.

0:16:28 > 0:16:32Well, if you'll excuse me, Quirke, I have to make a phone call.

0:16:35 > 0:16:39I have to work this afternoon, even if you don't.

0:16:41 > 0:16:42Thanks for the lunch.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29Miss Ruttledge, is it?

0:17:29 > 0:17:30Brenda.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33Welcome to Boston and to St Madeleine's.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35I'm very glad to be here, sister.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37And the journey went well, all according to plan?

0:17:37 > 0:17:41Oh, yes, sister.

0:17:41 > 0:17:42And this must be the baby.

0:17:42 > 0:17:46Yes. Little Christine, we call her.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59Sarah?

0:17:59 > 0:18:02I'm sorry, this is not a good time for you.

0:18:02 > 0:18:03Is everything all right?

0:18:03 > 0:18:07I've been awake half the night worrying about Phoebe.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09What, the boyfriend?

0:18:09 > 0:18:15I don't want her to...get herself tied up in an early marriage.

0:18:17 > 0:18:18She's so young.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Weren't we all once?

0:18:22 > 0:18:25If she's in love with this boy and she wants to marry him,

0:18:25 > 0:18:28then there's nothing you or I can do about that.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31But I don't believe that she is.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34I think it's just her way of rebelling.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36How do you know that?

0:18:36 > 0:18:37Just things she tells me.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Why does she confide in you and not in Mal or me?

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Oh, you know the way these things go in families.

0:18:47 > 0:18:52All right, I'll talk to her. Oh...I'm late.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Will you walk with me?

0:18:55 > 0:18:59No. No, you go ahead.

0:19:33 > 0:19:34Evening, Dolly.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42Nasty business tonight, Dr Quirke.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59Dr Quirke! Is it yourself now?

0:20:03 > 0:20:05Fine bit of work for us both here.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13Oh, God.

0:20:33 > 0:20:34Are you all right, Dr Quirke?

0:20:37 > 0:20:38Yeah.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46No surprises, Dr Quirke.

0:20:46 > 0:20:47Inter-cranial haematoma.

0:20:47 > 0:20:51Fell over sideways, knocked her head on the floor.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53But she has cigarette burns all up her arms

0:20:53 > 0:20:56and her fingernails are all mashed up.

0:20:56 > 0:20:57I suppose whoever it was,

0:20:57 > 0:21:01was torturing her to find out where her money was hidden.

0:21:01 > 0:21:02Good. Thanks, Sinclair.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Do you want me to write up the report?

0:21:05 > 0:21:06If you would, thank you.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Doctor.

0:21:16 > 0:21:17Inspector Hackett.

0:21:22 > 0:21:26Oh, what's the story on Dolly Moran then?

0:21:29 > 0:21:32I'd say that she died accidently.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35Whoever it was meant to hurt her, not to kill her.

0:21:35 > 0:21:36Manslaughter, I'd say.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Do you think so?

0:21:40 > 0:21:42Perhaps we should leave the legal verdict to the judge

0:21:42 > 0:21:44after we catch the boys that did it.

0:21:48 > 0:21:52I was wondering what they were after. Would you have any idea?

0:21:52 > 0:21:54No.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58We found this at the scene.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Under the clock on the mantelpiece.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04It's your card, Dr Quirke.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08What was Dolly doing with your card?

0:22:09 > 0:22:14There was a girl who died. I did the postmortem.

0:22:15 > 0:22:16Dolly knew her.

0:22:16 > 0:22:20She just...she wanted to know the cause of death, that's all.

0:22:20 > 0:22:21Name of this girl?

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Christine Falls.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28And what was her connection with Dolly?

0:22:28 > 0:22:31She, er, she didn't say.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33And what did she die of, this girl?

0:22:33 > 0:22:35Pulmonary embolism.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38Oh. How old was she?

0:22:38 > 0:22:41Young. It happens.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44Does it now? Right. I'll be off.

0:22:48 > 0:22:49Thanks for the drink.

0:22:51 > 0:22:55If you er, find out anything, you'll...you'll let me know?

0:22:55 > 0:23:00Oh, I'm sure we'll find out plenty of things, I'm sure.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Christine Falls you say?

0:23:03 > 0:23:04Yes.

0:23:06 > 0:23:07Good luck.

0:23:26 > 0:23:27What are you doing here?

0:23:28 > 0:23:31You don't believe in all this, do you?

0:23:31 > 0:23:35I try to. What do you want, Quirke?

0:23:36 > 0:23:39I want to know what happened to Dolly Moran.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41I should imagine I know less about it than you.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44I'm not the one going round poking my nose into places where

0:23:44 > 0:23:45it's liable to get cut off.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50Are you threatening your own brother now?

0:23:50 > 0:23:51You're not my brother.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54Look, all I know is that I told you that Dolly Moran kept

0:23:54 > 0:23:57a written record of all the things with Christine Falls, and the

0:23:57 > 0:24:02next night she's been tortured, and her skull has been smashed in.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04Now tell me these things are not connected

0:24:04 > 0:24:06and that you're not up to your neck in it.

0:24:06 > 0:24:07I know nothing about it.

0:24:07 > 0:24:11And if you're not prepared to go to the police and tell the truth, then I will.

0:24:18 > 0:24:22THUNDER

0:24:28 > 0:24:32So what's this delicate matter you need to discuss?

0:24:32 > 0:24:34You're not in trouble, are you?

0:24:34 > 0:24:37Well, not exactly.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39Come on, spit it out.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41- There was a girl....- Uh! No!

0:24:41 > 0:24:44No, no, no. It wasn't anything like that.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48There's this girl called Christine Falls.

0:24:48 > 0:24:52She died giving birth

0:24:52 > 0:24:54and I did the postmortem.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58Yours is a strange profession.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Always coming in at the end of things.

0:25:03 > 0:25:08Mal wrote up a file on her.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10How do you mean, wrote up a file?

0:25:11 > 0:25:15So that there would be no mention of a child.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17So what are you saying - that he falsified it?

0:25:17 > 0:25:20He says that he rewrote the file

0:25:20 > 0:25:24so that the family wouldn't have to deal with the mention of a child.

0:25:24 > 0:25:28Bloody fool. He was always a bloody fool.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31What connection did he have with this girl?

0:25:31 > 0:25:35Was she his patient, or was she something else?

0:25:35 > 0:25:36I don't know.

0:25:36 > 0:25:41All I know is that she worked at the house as a maid and then she...

0:25:41 > 0:25:42she got into trouble.

0:25:42 > 0:25:46She was being looked after by a woman in Crimea Street.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49She died in this woman's house, is that so?

0:25:49 > 0:25:51And did Mal know her as well?

0:25:51 > 0:25:54He was paying her to look after the girl.

0:25:54 > 0:25:58Oh. Fine set of acquaintances my son has.

0:25:58 > 0:26:03And now she's dead, too. She was killed a few days ago.

0:26:03 > 0:26:07You knew her - Dolly Moran. Do you remember her?

0:26:07 > 0:26:09She used to work at the house for you and Nana,

0:26:09 > 0:26:11before she went to Mal and Sarah's.

0:26:11 > 0:26:17Dolores? Not Dolores! Oh, merciful God - no, no.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Why ever would anyone want to kill her?

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Because of what she might know.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24What would she know?

0:26:24 > 0:26:25She might know who the father was.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28And what happened to the baby.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31And you think Malachy might have been involved in her death?

0:26:31 > 0:26:33Your own brother?

0:26:33 > 0:26:35I don't know what to think, Garret.

0:26:35 > 0:26:40All I know is that he falsified the death certificate.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42Oh, no, no, no, no.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44No. That's not Mal.

0:26:44 > 0:26:48That's not Mal! There must be an innocent explanation.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50I'll have a word with him.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53I'll tell him he's been a bloody fool.

0:26:53 > 0:26:57I'm glad you told me this. You did the right thing.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00You were always a good boy.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02In spite of appearances to the contrary!

0:27:19 > 0:27:20Quirke!

0:27:20 > 0:27:23Oh, God! Phoebe! No!

0:27:23 > 0:27:25- Let me in!- Come in!- I'm all wet.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34THEY LAUGH

0:27:37 > 0:27:38I've been to a party.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40Uh-huh.

0:27:40 > 0:27:41I'm a bit drunk.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43Really(?)

0:27:45 > 0:27:46OK, sit down.

0:27:50 > 0:27:51Sit down!

0:27:54 > 0:27:57I'm going to get a towel to dry your hair.

0:27:57 > 0:27:59Get out of that dress. You're soaked.

0:28:19 > 0:28:24Drink this, and then I'm going to call you a taxi.

0:28:24 > 0:28:27Oh, don't do that. Let me stay with you.

0:28:27 > 0:28:31Are you mad? Your father and mother would kill me.

0:28:31 > 0:28:35I'd tell them I insisted.

0:28:35 > 0:28:39So was it boyfriend trouble tonight?

0:28:39 > 0:28:42You could say that. I think it's over.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46Are you upset?

0:28:46 > 0:28:48Not as much as I thought I might be.

0:28:51 > 0:28:57Were you...involved...deeply with him?

0:28:58 > 0:29:00Do you mean were we having sex?

0:29:00 > 0:29:05"Anticipating marriage", as the nuns say? No, we weren't.

0:29:06 > 0:29:08I've been saving that for you, Quirke.

0:29:08 > 0:29:12Oh, for God's sake, don't say things like that, Phoebe - even if you don't mean them.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14What if I do?

0:29:16 > 0:29:19Mummy wants me to go out to Boston.

0:29:19 > 0:29:22She thinks I'd be safer there with her stuck-up family.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24Really? I think that's a good idea.

0:29:26 > 0:29:29Well, I'll go if you come with me.

0:29:29 > 0:29:32- Will you?- No.

0:29:32 > 0:29:34You're so mean to me, Quirke.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52Now, Claire and Andy,

0:29:52 > 0:29:54you do understand, don't you?

0:29:54 > 0:29:58This is not an adoption in the official sense.

0:29:58 > 0:30:02St Madeleine's has its own arrangements.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04The Lord is our legislator.

0:30:04 > 0:30:08And you understand too, both of you, that when the time comes,

0:30:08 > 0:30:11it will be Mr Crawford and his people

0:30:11 > 0:30:13who will decide on the child's education.

0:30:13 > 0:30:14- We understand, Sister.- Good.

0:30:16 > 0:30:20Now, Mr Crawford has chosen you because you are both trusted

0:30:20 > 0:30:24employees of Crawford Transport but it is also very important

0:30:24 > 0:30:29that little Christine should remain in the faith she was born into.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32You are both practising Catholics?

0:30:32 > 0:30:35We go to Mass every Sunday. Don't we, Andy?

0:30:35 > 0:30:36Yeah.

0:30:41 > 0:30:44All right. Come along.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51This is the heart of St Madeleine's and our pride and joy.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56And here is your new little daughter.

0:30:59 > 0:31:02Christine!

0:31:02 > 0:31:04- May I?- Please.

0:31:07 > 0:31:08Hey.

0:31:12 > 0:31:13Hey.

0:31:46 > 0:31:49So Christine, how do you like your new home?

0:31:49 > 0:31:52She says she likes it very much indeed!

0:31:52 > 0:31:55Well, ain't that fine and dandy!

0:32:00 > 0:32:02You know what, Mrs Stafford?

0:32:05 > 0:32:06It's OK!

0:32:06 > 0:32:10Baby says she wants to go down for a little shut-eye.

0:32:14 > 0:32:16Know what I'm saying?

0:32:16 > 0:32:18Oh, Andy - not now.

0:32:19 > 0:32:20You want it as much as I do.

0:32:22 > 0:32:24Bedroom. Now.

0:32:28 > 0:32:29OK.

0:32:39 > 0:32:42That's my girl. Come on.

0:32:43 > 0:32:45She don't need to see this!

0:32:51 > 0:32:52BELL TOLLS

0:32:52 > 0:32:55Morning, Dr Quirke.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58Just passing. Thought I might catch you.

0:32:58 > 0:33:00At eight o'clock in the morning? Just passing?

0:33:00 > 0:33:03Ah, sure, I've always been an early riser. Giant lark, that's me.

0:33:03 > 0:33:05Will I walk along with you a bit?

0:33:05 > 0:33:08So. Any developments in the Dolly Moran case?

0:33:08 > 0:33:10No, there is not.

0:33:10 > 0:33:14Except that I've been directed to drop the investigation.

0:33:14 > 0:33:17Lack of evidence.

0:33:17 > 0:33:18That's absurd, isn't it?

0:33:18 > 0:33:21Orders from on high.

0:33:21 > 0:33:23I was wondering if you might be able to tell me anything.

0:33:23 > 0:33:27For the fact is, you seem to me like a man burdened with a secret.

0:33:27 > 0:33:29I've told you everything I know.

0:33:29 > 0:33:31Have you now? Cos here's the thing.

0:33:31 > 0:33:34Before I was called off the case, and maybe, for all I know,

0:33:34 > 0:33:36it was the reason I was called off it, I discovered that Dolly Moran

0:33:36 > 0:33:40used to work for the family of Chief Justice Garret Griffin himself.

0:33:40 > 0:33:44Your family. You didn't mention that, did you, when we had our little chat?

0:33:44 > 0:33:47- I suppose it must have just slipped your mind. - I didn't think it was relevant.

0:33:47 > 0:33:51Well, maybe it isn't. None of my concern now.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53Oh, by the by, did Dolly

0:33:53 > 0:33:57Moran mention anything to you about the Mothers of Mercy Laundry?

0:33:57 > 0:33:59Place up in Ringsend.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02They take in girls that have got themselves in trouble

0:34:02 > 0:34:05and work them till they've - what's the word? Expiated their sin.

0:34:05 > 0:34:07That's it.

0:34:07 > 0:34:09There was some talk of Dolly Moran being connected with the place.

0:34:09 > 0:34:13No, Dolly didn't mention anything about that to me.

0:34:13 > 0:34:16Yeah, she was good at keeping secrets, it seems. Poor old Dolly.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18Fat lot of good it did her.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23- Well, I'll let you get on, Dr Quirke. Good luck.- Good.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47I'm so sorry, Dr Quirke, but I'm afraid

0:34:47 > 0:34:50you've had a wasted journey. I can't help you at all.

0:34:50 > 0:34:54So the name doesn't mean anything to you...at all?

0:34:54 > 0:34:58No. You tell me that she died?

0:34:58 > 0:34:59Yes, in childbirth.

0:35:01 > 0:35:03How very sad.

0:35:03 > 0:35:06- And what became of the child? - I don't know.

0:35:06 > 0:35:09That's one of the things I was hoping to find out.

0:35:11 > 0:35:12Well, as I say...

0:35:13 > 0:35:18And er, Dolores Moran, she would have been known as er,

0:35:18 > 0:35:20Dolly Moran.

0:35:20 > 0:35:22I've never heard the name Dolly Moran.

0:35:22 > 0:35:24Maisie! Watch where you're going!

0:35:24 > 0:35:25Sorry, Sister.

0:35:25 > 0:35:27All right, get on now.

0:35:27 > 0:35:28Right-oh, Sister.

0:35:31 > 0:35:34So let's say Christine Falls HAD been here, what would,

0:35:34 > 0:35:36what would have happened to her baby?

0:35:36 > 0:35:39The babies go to an orphanage, of course.

0:35:39 > 0:35:41Like Carricklea.

0:35:41 > 0:35:42Yes, if they're boys.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47That's what they did with me.

0:35:47 > 0:35:49Ah, so that's why you're so interested?

0:35:49 > 0:35:50Only partially.

0:35:51 > 0:35:54Carricklea was a...

0:35:54 > 0:35:57is a bleak place.

0:35:57 > 0:36:00A little bit like this, if you'll allow me to say.

0:36:01 > 0:36:06Dr Quirke, the girls who come here find themselves in trouble

0:36:06 > 0:36:07with no-one to help.

0:36:07 > 0:36:11Their families reject them - that's when they're sent here.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13We do the best we can for them.

0:36:13 > 0:36:16Oh, I'm sure you're a great comfort to them.

0:36:17 > 0:36:21Would you rather we sent them home to be raped by their fathers?

0:36:24 > 0:36:27Thank you for your time, Sister.

0:37:08 > 0:37:10Maisie! Maisie!

0:37:17 > 0:37:18Yeah? Give us a puff of that.

0:37:24 > 0:37:27I wanted to know if anyone here knows anything about a woman

0:37:27 > 0:37:28called Dolly Moran.

0:37:28 > 0:37:30I know, I heard you.

0:37:30 > 0:37:33And the old hake said she'd never heard of her.

0:37:33 > 0:37:34That's a good one,

0:37:34 > 0:37:38with her here every second week collecting babbies.

0:37:38 > 0:37:41And where did she take them?

0:37:41 > 0:37:43I heard it was for sending them off to America.

0:37:43 > 0:37:46They won't get mine, that's for sure.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48I'll run away, so I will. I have the money saved.

0:37:53 > 0:37:56How did you come to be here?

0:37:56 > 0:37:57My Da put me in.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02I'm a disgrace to the family.

0:38:02 > 0:38:04Maisie? Maisie!

0:38:04 > 0:38:05Thanks for the tab, mister.

0:38:30 > 0:38:31Dr Quirke?

0:38:33 > 0:38:37Costigan. We met at the judge's party.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39Oh, yes, so we did.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41I was just up on the wards, visiting

0:38:41 > 0:38:45and I thought I'd drop down to see you.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47Such a lot of suffering in the world, Doctor

0:38:47 > 0:38:49and er, well, we're always very glad

0:38:49 > 0:38:52when the Knights of St Brendan can do something to help.

0:38:53 > 0:38:54Really.

0:38:56 > 0:39:00So what can I do for you, Mr Costigan?

0:39:00 > 0:39:02Did you never think of joining us, Dr Quirke?

0:39:04 > 0:39:08No, not at all. Not my sort of thing.

0:39:08 > 0:39:14Pity. And your brother such a great support to us.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16We do a lot of good work, you know.

0:39:16 > 0:39:19Both here and in Boston.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21You're not against us, I hope?

0:39:22 > 0:39:24Oh, no, no, no.

0:39:24 > 0:39:28I just don't involve myself with any of these so-called

0:39:28 > 0:39:30religious organisations.

0:39:30 > 0:39:36Oh, well - in your case that would probably be very wise.

0:39:37 > 0:39:38Best keep yourself to yourself.

0:39:44 > 0:39:46Take care, now, Dr Quirke, won't you?

0:39:53 > 0:39:57So did you hear about this murder in Crimea Street?

0:39:57 > 0:39:59I'd have thought you'd know all about that yourself.

0:39:59 > 0:40:03Well, I know how she died but I don't know who killed her.

0:40:03 > 0:40:08Was it not a burglary? That's what's going about.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11I thought it might have been something to do with er,

0:40:11 > 0:40:13Declan Costigan.

0:40:13 > 0:40:14- The businessman?- Mm-hm.

0:40:16 > 0:40:18He's a bruiser, all right, the same fella.

0:40:25 > 0:40:28Little bit out of your depth here, aren't you, Quirke?

0:40:28 > 0:40:32Dolly Moran getting herself killed. Costigan and that lot.

0:40:32 > 0:40:33What are you up to?

0:40:41 > 0:40:42Same again.

0:41:31 > 0:41:33- Good night, Dave. - Good night, Dr Quirke.

0:41:47 > 0:41:49Good evening, Captain.

0:41:49 > 0:41:50Evening.

0:41:52 > 0:41:55We'll just walk along with you, there's no harm in that, is there?

0:41:57 > 0:42:01He's wondering who we are. Are you wondering who we are, Captain?

0:42:01 > 0:42:02Not interested.

0:42:02 > 0:42:05Well, I'll tell you all the same. We're a caution.

0:42:05 > 0:42:07That's what we are. We've seen you hanging around.

0:42:07 > 0:42:09Not advisable in this sort of weather.

0:42:09 > 0:42:13- You could catch a cold.- He could catch his death. Couldn't he? And we wouldn't want that.

0:42:13 > 0:42:17To be frank, I wouldn't care that much.

0:42:17 > 0:42:19Oh!

0:42:19 > 0:42:20Oh!

0:42:22 > 0:42:23Oh!

0:42:24 > 0:42:27Hold on, Captain, we'll give you a hand.

0:42:27 > 0:42:29Ah! Oh!

0:42:58 > 0:43:02It's very good of him, Andy - like we're part of his family.

0:43:02 > 0:43:05Well, the good news is I heard there's going to be a free bar.

0:43:07 > 0:43:10Oh, the basket.

0:43:10 > 0:43:11Sorry.

0:43:14 > 0:43:17That's a lovely baby, can I have a peep?

0:43:17 > 0:43:18Oh, sure.

0:43:18 > 0:43:20Little Christine we call her.

0:45:44 > 0:45:46Hey, McCoy.

0:45:46 > 0:45:48- Hmm? - You see something funny there?

0:45:49 > 0:45:53I was just telling the guys about the er, miracle, that's all.

0:45:53 > 0:45:57- Meanin'?- How your old lady, she ends up having a kid

0:45:57 > 0:45:59without getting knocked up.

0:46:00 > 0:46:01So how was that?

0:46:01 > 0:46:04The er, angels come down and done the job for you?

0:47:30 > 0:47:31All right, Quirke?

0:47:34 > 0:47:35How are you feeling?

0:47:39 > 0:47:42I feel wonderful. Where am I?

0:47:43 > 0:47:47You're in hospital. What happened?

0:47:51 > 0:47:52Don't you know, Mal?

0:48:05 > 0:48:08It was an accident - nobody's fault.

0:48:08 > 0:48:11You'll forgive me if I say I've heard that tale before.

0:48:11 > 0:48:16Little Christine will be buried here in the convent burial ground.

0:48:16 > 0:48:19I think we can manage to keep the police out of it,

0:48:19 > 0:48:23but if I were you, I would consider moving away from Boston.

0:48:23 > 0:48:25Hey, you don't take that tone with me.

0:48:25 > 0:48:27There's something you're trying to hide here.

0:48:27 > 0:48:31- I have no idea what you... - That kid was someone's, wasn't it?

0:48:32 > 0:48:34And if you mess with me and Claire

0:48:34 > 0:48:36I'll make it my business to find out whose.

0:48:36 > 0:48:39Are you threatening us, Mr Stafford?

0:48:39 > 0:48:42Not at all, Sister.

0:48:42 > 0:48:46All I want is a job up at the big house,

0:48:46 > 0:48:48and you won't hear a squeak out of me.

0:48:54 > 0:48:56Sister Stephanus?

0:48:58 > 0:49:03I've spoken to Mr Crawford about our...situation.

0:49:03 > 0:49:08I don't think we'll have any further problems from that quarter.

0:49:08 > 0:49:09Thank God.

0:49:15 > 0:49:17You are a terrible man, Quirke, making me do this.

0:49:17 > 0:49:19You know what a hopeless driver I am.

0:49:19 > 0:49:22You're a wonderful driver. I love your driving.

0:49:31 > 0:49:34Thanks for this.

0:49:34 > 0:49:36I couldn't face the flat just yet.

0:49:36 > 0:49:39You should come and stay with us for a bit.

0:49:39 > 0:49:40Oh!

0:49:40 > 0:49:45Wouldn't Mal just love that, me lying around his house all day

0:49:45 > 0:49:47while he's out busy delivering babies.

0:49:53 > 0:49:57Oh, I'll be fine. Thanks anyway.

0:49:57 > 0:49:59I'll take it slowly.

0:50:03 > 0:50:09- So beautiful up here. - Yes. It's lovely.

0:50:15 > 0:50:17Ah!

0:50:17 > 0:50:18Come on.

0:50:21 > 0:50:22Ah.

0:50:33 > 0:50:35You all right?

0:50:35 > 0:50:37Oh, I'll live.

0:50:37 > 0:50:39How's Phoebe?

0:50:39 > 0:50:42I thought she might have come to visit me in the hospital.

0:50:42 > 0:50:45Oh, I'm at my wits' end with her.

0:50:45 > 0:50:47She's got in with a wild bunch.

0:50:47 > 0:50:50She's out drinking almost every night.

0:50:50 > 0:50:52I don't know what's the matter with her.

0:50:52 > 0:50:53She's young, that's all.

0:50:58 > 0:50:59She's out of control.

0:51:02 > 0:51:05I'd really like to get her away from that crowd.

0:51:05 > 0:51:08I tried to get her to go to Boston.

0:51:08 > 0:51:11I know she'd love it out there.

0:51:11 > 0:51:13But she says she won't go.

0:51:13 > 0:51:15Unless you go with her.

0:51:15 > 0:51:18Ah, I don't know what she wants with me.

0:51:18 > 0:51:19She loves you, Quirke.

0:51:21 > 0:51:26Why don't you go? You could recuperate there.

0:51:26 > 0:51:28Oh, I don't know.

0:51:43 > 0:51:45All right.

0:51:45 > 0:51:46I'll go.

0:51:47 > 0:51:48- Really?- Why not?

0:51:52 > 0:51:55And when you're there, Quirke,

0:51:55 > 0:51:57- you have to tell her. - Tell her what?

0:51:59 > 0:52:01You know what.

0:52:04 > 0:52:09It'll be easier for her to deal with it...there, away from me and Mal.

0:52:12 > 0:52:15God knows we should have told her years ago.

0:52:15 > 0:52:17I blame myself as much as you.

0:52:19 > 0:52:20But she has to know, Quirke.

0:52:22 > 0:52:27Yes, I was thinking the same thing myself.

0:52:27 > 0:52:29So will you tell her?

0:52:31 > 0:52:32All right.

0:52:34 > 0:52:35I'll tell her in Boston.

0:53:16 > 0:53:18First time in Boston, Miss?

0:53:18 > 0:53:21No. I lived here until I was seven.

0:53:22 > 0:53:25I haven't been back in such a long time, though.

0:53:25 > 0:53:28Well, I'm sure Mr Crawford will be happy to see you.

0:53:35 > 0:53:36What's the matter?

0:53:36 > 0:53:38You've been in a sulk since we left Dublin.

0:53:38 > 0:53:39I'm not sulking.

0:53:41 > 0:53:42Well, you're different.

0:53:44 > 0:53:47- Does your head still hurt?- Mm-hm.

0:54:45 > 0:54:46Welcome, voyagers.

0:54:46 > 0:54:53My! Look at you! All grown-up and pretty as a picture.

0:54:53 > 0:54:57Do you have a kiss for your wicked step-grandmother?

0:54:57 > 0:54:58What am I to call you?

0:54:58 > 0:55:03Why, you charming child. Well, you must call me Rose!

0:55:03 > 0:55:06And I probably shouldn't call you a child, now you're all grown-up.

0:55:06 > 0:55:07I don't mind.

0:55:07 > 0:55:10And you must be the famous Dr Quirke.

0:55:10 > 0:55:12I've heard a great deal about you.

0:55:12 > 0:55:13All good things, I hope.

0:55:13 > 0:55:15I'm afraid not.

0:55:15 > 0:55:19You must be exhausted. Deirdre will show you to your rooms.

0:55:19 > 0:55:20Thank you.

0:55:20 > 0:55:25When you're ready, please come down. We'll have drinks before dinner.

0:55:25 > 0:55:27Josh can't wait to see you.

0:55:27 > 0:55:29How is Grandpa?

0:55:29 > 0:55:32Oh, dying, I'm afraid, dear.

0:55:35 > 0:55:37This'll be yours, Dr Quirke.

0:55:47 > 0:55:49Is everything all right, Dr Quirke?

0:55:49 > 0:55:53Yes, yeah.

0:55:53 > 0:55:58This used to be my wife's room, when she lived here.

0:55:58 > 0:56:00I'm fine. Thank you.

0:56:43 > 0:56:46COUGHING

0:56:49 > 0:56:52Well, well, if it isn't the bad penny.

0:56:53 > 0:56:55Hello, Josh.

0:57:00 > 0:57:04So, you've come to watch me die, have you, hmm?

0:57:05 > 0:57:07You afraid of death, Quirke?

0:57:07 > 0:57:09Isn't everybody?

0:57:10 > 0:57:13I'm not. Not any more.

0:57:15 > 0:57:19I've done some bad things in my time.

0:57:19 > 0:57:23But I've done a lot of good as well.

0:57:23 > 0:57:27I think I'll be able to face up to the Lord on Judgment Day.

0:57:29 > 0:57:31Will you?

0:57:32 > 0:57:35Well, see, I don't believe in any of that stuff, Josh.

0:57:35 > 0:57:36You say that now.

0:57:41 > 0:57:44I hear you've been interfering with our work.

0:57:47 > 0:57:49Erm, have I?

0:57:49 > 0:57:53What work would that be, Josh?

0:57:53 > 0:57:56I'm a planter now, Quirke.

0:57:56 > 0:58:01Some men plant trees. I plant souls.

0:58:01 > 0:58:05And I don't like it when ignorant meddlers stick their noses in.

0:58:05 > 0:58:09Don't you think you've done enough harm to our family,

0:58:09 > 0:58:11you godless piece of shite?

0:58:11 > 0:58:14- KNOCK ON DOOR - Knock, knock.

0:58:15 > 0:58:17Oh, here she is.

0:58:19 > 0:58:21My favourite grand-daughter.

0:58:21 > 0:58:22Grandad!

0:58:22 > 0:58:23Look at you - a woman already.

0:58:23 > 0:58:25- Brenda?- Dr Quirke.

0:58:26 > 0:58:28What are you doing here?

0:58:28 > 0:58:29You two know each other?

0:58:29 > 0:58:31We used to work at the same hospital.

0:58:33 > 0:58:34Small world.

0:58:36 > 0:58:38Shall we eat?

0:58:45 > 0:58:49Good night, Dr Quirke. Sleep well.

0:58:49 > 0:58:51Good night, Rose.

0:59:13 > 0:59:14'This isn't right.

0:59:14 > 0:59:18'Oh, Quirke. You're such a silly old bear.

0:59:18 > 0:59:22'You think you want Sarah, but you don't. Come on, Quirke.

0:59:22 > 0:59:24'Show me what you can do.'

1:00:23 > 1:00:29- Brenda!- Oh, Dr Quirke! You gave me an awful fright.

1:00:29 > 1:00:32You gave ME a fright. I thought you were a corpse.

1:00:32 > 1:00:35I would have thought YOU could tell the difference.

1:00:36 > 1:00:39Thanks. You won't tell, will you?

1:00:39 > 1:00:42They don't like the staff to use the pool.

1:00:42 > 1:00:45I won't tell.

1:00:45 > 1:00:47What are you doing, anyway, up at this hour?

1:00:49 > 1:00:50I couldn't sleep.

1:00:53 > 1:00:54No, thanks.

1:00:54 > 1:00:58So Brenda, what do you know about the er,

1:00:58 > 1:01:02charity work that Josh is doing here?

1:01:02 > 1:01:05You mean the orphanage?

1:01:05 > 1:01:09What orphanage would that be?

1:01:09 > 1:01:13St Madeleine's. It's out in Brookline.

1:01:13 > 1:01:14He gives a lot of money to it.

1:01:17 > 1:01:20You brought the baby over, didn't you Brenda?

1:01:20 > 1:01:22Did they make you do it?

1:01:22 > 1:01:23I can't tell you.

1:01:23 > 1:01:26- Did they tell you who the father was?- No.

1:01:26 > 1:01:28Did you think it might be Dr Griffin?

1:01:28 > 1:01:29You mustn't ask me that.

1:01:30 > 1:01:32I've got to go.

1:01:33 > 1:01:35Brenda!

1:01:48 > 1:01:51- SHE LAUGHS - Come on!

1:01:51 > 1:01:53Come on!

1:02:10 > 1:02:15We used to come up here, Delia and me, in the old days.

1:02:15 > 1:02:18What was she like? I want to know now that I'm here.

1:02:20 > 1:02:23The house seems full of her, somehow.

1:02:23 > 1:02:29Delia was wild - she had the imp of perversity in her.

1:02:31 > 1:02:33How did the four of you meet?

1:02:33 > 1:02:36Well, your grandfather arranged for myself and Mal to come to the

1:02:36 > 1:02:40hospital to work and then we, we just started going out together.

1:02:40 > 1:02:44First it was me and Sarah, then it was Mal and Sarah

1:02:44 > 1:02:47and then Delia and me.

1:02:47 > 1:02:50How did that happen?

1:02:50 > 1:02:52How does anything like that happen?

1:02:56 > 1:02:57Phoebe...

1:03:01 > 1:03:07There's...there's something that you don't know about

1:03:07 > 1:03:11Mal and Sarah, er...

1:03:11 > 1:03:13and me.

1:03:13 > 1:03:15What's there to know about you?

1:03:26 > 1:03:30Listen - I don't think I'll go back to the house just yet from here.

1:03:30 > 1:03:32There's a bar in town I used to drink in

1:03:32 > 1:03:35and I'm just going to check and see if it's still the same.

1:03:35 > 1:03:40- Shall I go with you? - No, no, no, no, no. I've already gotten you into enough trouble.

1:03:43 > 1:03:45I'll get a cab back, Andy. Thanks.

1:03:45 > 1:03:46OK, Dr Quirke.

1:04:01 > 1:04:03Do you have to drive so slowly?

1:04:03 > 1:04:05I mean, is it the law here?

1:04:05 > 1:04:07Ah, it's the way Mr Crawford likes it.

1:04:07 > 1:04:10I don't always stick to it when he's not on board.

1:04:14 > 1:04:16What are those, Irish cigarettes?

1:04:16 > 1:04:18No. English.

1:04:19 > 1:04:20Oh.

1:04:22 > 1:04:23OK, let's rock'n'roll.

1:04:32 > 1:04:33Stop!

1:04:40 > 1:04:44What did you think you were doing? You could have got us killed!

1:04:44 > 1:04:47Think I could have one of those English cigarettes?

1:05:04 > 1:05:07Now why don't you come up front and sit with me?

1:05:07 > 1:05:10Or maybe I could climb in the back with you?

1:05:10 > 1:05:13I think you should take me back to the house, right now.

1:05:22 > 1:05:24OK.

1:05:30 > 1:05:35Dr Quirke. I'm Father Harkins, Chaplain here at St Madeleine's.

1:05:35 > 1:05:38This is Sister Stephanus.

1:05:38 > 1:05:41You're Mr Crawford's son-in-law, I understand?

1:05:42 > 1:05:46Mr Crawford is a great friend of St Madeleine's.

1:05:46 > 1:05:49What can we do for you, Dr Quirke?

1:05:49 > 1:05:54Well, I wanted to find out something about a child, a little girl,

1:05:54 > 1:05:57who I believe may have been brought here from Ireland.

1:05:57 > 1:05:59Her first name was probably Christine,

1:05:59 > 1:06:03and if she has a surname, it might be Falls.

1:06:03 > 1:06:06Why should you want to know about this child, Dr Quirke?

1:06:06 > 1:06:07It's a personal matter.

1:06:07 > 1:06:09Personal?

1:06:09 > 1:06:12You are not saying you are related to this child in any way?

1:06:12 > 1:06:16Actually I'm a doctor and I saw a woman called Christine Falls

1:06:16 > 1:06:20who died in childbirth but I believed the little girl lived.

1:06:20 > 1:06:23I'm simply asking you if she came here,

1:06:23 > 1:06:25and if so, what became of her, that's all.

1:06:25 > 1:06:28Oh, now, Dr Quirke!

1:06:28 > 1:06:31We couldn't be giving out information of that nature.

1:06:31 > 1:06:32Really.

1:06:33 > 1:06:36She was just one among many, wasn't she?

1:06:36 > 1:06:39A regular traffic of babies taken from their mothers in Ireland

1:06:39 > 1:06:41for what?

1:06:41 > 1:06:43What happens to them?

1:06:43 > 1:06:45This is just fantasy, Dr Quirke.

1:06:45 > 1:06:49All these children are certified American citizens.

1:06:49 > 1:06:52They have birth certificates.

1:06:52 > 1:06:56I happen to know the nurse who brought little Christine over.

1:06:56 > 1:06:58And I've seen the girls in the laundry

1:06:58 > 1:07:01waiting for their babies to be taken from them.

1:07:02 > 1:07:08But you have no proof, or you would not be here making accusations.

1:07:08 > 1:07:11Allow me to reassure you, Dr Quirke,

1:07:11 > 1:07:16that all the little orphans who come to us are treated with loving care.

1:07:16 > 1:07:21It's God's work we're doing here. Our consciences are clear.

1:07:29 > 1:07:32Can you tell me where Miss Ruttledge is?

1:07:32 > 1:07:35- Sorry?- Mr Crawford's nurse, do you know where is she?

1:07:35 > 1:07:38She's upstairs with Mr Crawford. He's very poorly.

1:07:52 > 1:07:56In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sanctii.

1:07:56 > 1:08:01Per istam sanctan unctionem et suam piissimam misericordiam,

1:08:01 > 1:08:07indulgeat tibi Dominus quidquid per gressum deliquisti.

1:08:08 > 1:08:12Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur Nomen Tuum.

1:08:16 > 1:08:18Can't be easy for you, waiting for the end.

1:08:22 > 1:08:26Phoebe's been very good with him. She's in his will, you know.

1:08:26 > 1:08:28He's leaving her a lot of money.

1:08:28 > 1:08:31How do you feel about that?

1:08:31 > 1:08:34I feel fine about it.

1:08:34 > 1:08:36Don't worry, there's plenty left for me.

1:08:36 > 1:08:38But she'll be rich - very rich.

1:08:40 > 1:08:42I'm sorry to hear that.

1:08:42 > 1:08:45Why is that?

1:08:45 > 1:08:47Because I want her to have an ordinary life.

1:08:48 > 1:08:50Is there such a thing?

1:08:51 > 1:08:54I think there could be, for her, yes.

1:08:56 > 1:08:58Phoebe will do what she wants to do.

1:08:59 > 1:09:03And the idea of you looking after her...

1:09:03 > 1:09:06You can't even look after yourself, can you?

1:09:08 > 1:09:10Mrs Crawford, I think you should come.

1:10:02 > 1:10:06It was good to see you, Rose, even on such a sad occasion.

1:10:08 > 1:10:10I guess you could say we did him proud.

1:10:12 > 1:10:16Aye, yes indeed. He was a great man and a dear friend.

1:10:22 > 1:10:25I know about the child, Mal.

1:10:25 > 1:10:30- Oh?- She's here, isn't she? Brenda Ruttledge brought her over.

1:10:30 > 1:10:32Oh, just leave it, Quirke.

1:10:32 > 1:10:36She's yours, isn't she? The child.

1:10:38 > 1:10:42If you carry on, you'll bring nothing but harm to everyone.

1:10:42 > 1:10:45Take my advice.

1:10:45 > 1:10:47Just let it go.

1:10:47 > 1:10:50Well, it won't let me go.

1:11:08 > 1:11:11I'd forgotten how beautiful it could be here.

1:11:16 > 1:11:19I often think we should have stayed.

1:11:22 > 1:11:23We?

1:11:25 > 1:11:26Mal and I.

1:11:27 > 1:11:29Things might have been different.

1:11:31 > 1:11:37We were happy here, weren't we, in those days?

1:11:39 > 1:11:40Mal...

1:11:43 > 1:11:44..you and me?

1:11:46 > 1:11:48And Delia.

1:11:48 > 1:11:52She would sleep with you. That's all it was, wasn't it?

1:11:52 > 1:11:55She would sleep with you and I wouldn't.

1:11:59 > 1:12:03And then Mal saw his chance with me.

1:12:03 > 1:12:05I think there was a bit more to it than that.

1:12:09 > 1:12:11But not much maybe.

1:12:14 > 1:12:18God, what a mess we've made of our lives.

1:12:18 > 1:12:20It's not all that bad, is it?

1:12:24 > 1:12:25Well, there's Phoebe.

1:12:28 > 1:12:31Why haven't you told her, Quirke? You promised you would.

1:12:34 > 1:12:38I started but...it's not so easy.

1:12:38 > 1:12:42She seems so much happier here.

1:12:44 > 1:12:47- Does she really have to know? - Yes, she does.

1:12:49 > 1:12:51You have to tell her she's your child, Quirke.

1:12:55 > 1:12:56You owe it to her.

1:13:02 > 1:13:03All right.

1:13:09 > 1:13:10- I'll do it now.- Quirke?

1:13:45 > 1:13:48Yours and Delia's?

1:13:48 > 1:13:51What do you mean? Delia died.

1:13:54 > 1:13:56She died having you, Phoebe.

1:14:01 > 1:14:03It was an awful time for us.

1:14:03 > 1:14:07We were quarrelling, and I was hitting the bottle pretty hard.

1:14:10 > 1:14:14And the night that you were born,

1:14:14 > 1:14:16we'd had this fight.

1:14:16 > 1:14:20I can't remember what... what she said to set me off but...

1:14:23 > 1:14:24..I went on a bender.

1:14:25 > 1:14:30Mal found me in this bar and I was off my head,

1:14:30 > 1:14:33couldn't even understand what he was saying.

1:14:33 > 1:14:36Next thing I remember, I was in the hospital...

1:14:39 > 1:14:40..holding her hand.

1:14:44 > 1:14:45And she was dead.

1:14:48 > 1:14:49And I was drunk.

1:14:50 > 1:14:52You gave me away.

1:14:55 > 1:14:57I couldn't have looked after you myself.

1:14:57 > 1:15:00I was destroyed when Delia died.

1:15:00 > 1:15:03Phoebe - it wasn't because I didn't care about you,

1:15:03 > 1:15:06because I didn't love you - you have to understand.

1:15:06 > 1:15:09You never told me.

1:15:09 > 1:15:11- Phoebe...- All these years!

1:15:11 > 1:15:12Phoebe!

1:15:13 > 1:15:14Phoebe!

1:15:19 > 1:15:21What's the matter with Phoebe?

1:15:21 > 1:15:24I just saw her running by the house, she looked in a state.

1:15:24 > 1:15:25Quirke's told her, Mal.

1:15:25 > 1:15:27Told her what?

1:15:27 > 1:15:31The truth. About who she is.

1:15:31 > 1:15:35And he told her that today - of all days?

1:15:35 > 1:15:38Don't blame Quirke. I made him do it.

1:15:39 > 1:15:42YOU made him do it? And you never thought to consult me?

1:15:42 > 1:15:44She had to know sometime, Mal.

1:15:44 > 1:15:47Well, I hope you're prepared for the consequences.

1:16:15 > 1:16:17Hell, I didn't figure on company.

1:16:19 > 1:16:21But since you're there...

1:16:32 > 1:16:34Take me somewhere.

1:16:34 > 1:16:38Your wish is my command, baby. Where do you want to go?

1:16:38 > 1:16:40I don't care. Somewhere.

1:16:48 > 1:16:50Dr Quirke?

1:16:50 > 1:16:52Ah, Brenda.

1:16:54 > 1:16:58So, what will you do now that Josh has gone?

1:16:58 > 1:17:03I don't know. Find another job, I suppose.

1:17:03 > 1:17:05- Will you go back to Dublin?- No.

1:17:11 > 1:17:13Tell me about baby Christine.

1:17:15 > 1:17:17You have nothing left to lose now.

1:17:20 > 1:17:21Come on.

1:17:25 > 1:17:29There's someone who can tell you more than I ever could.

1:17:34 > 1:17:37Ain't going to be no soft job for me now the old man's gone.

1:17:37 > 1:17:42She's going to sell up and cut out. She don't care about the likes of you and me.

1:17:44 > 1:17:47But hey, let's look on the bright side, huh?

1:17:47 > 1:17:50I got a Buick, I got a whisky.

1:17:52 > 1:17:53And baby, I got you.

1:18:02 > 1:18:05All I ever wanted was a little baby of my own.

1:18:08 > 1:18:11And the nuns helped you, didn't they, Claire?

1:18:12 > 1:18:13They helped us.

1:18:15 > 1:18:17They helped me and Andy.

1:18:19 > 1:18:22He wanted a baby too, he really did.

1:18:22 > 1:18:26And so you were given little Christine to look after.

1:18:26 > 1:18:27Yes.

1:18:27 > 1:18:30She was never meant to stay for very long.

1:18:30 > 1:18:33the nuns would take her back as soon as she was old enough to go

1:18:33 > 1:18:36to school, train her up to be a nun herself.

1:18:36 > 1:18:39So where's baby Christine now, Claire?

1:18:45 > 1:18:50He didn't mean to do it. I know he didn't.

1:18:50 > 1:18:52It was an accident.

1:18:56 > 1:18:59Didn't mean to do what, Claire?

1:18:59 > 1:19:01He was trying to make her stop crying.

1:19:03 > 1:19:05He hated it when she cried.

1:19:07 > 1:19:10He just shook her, that's all.

1:19:11 > 1:19:12I came in...

1:19:16 > 1:19:18..and he was just holding her...

1:19:22 > 1:19:24..and he held her out to me...

1:19:27 > 1:19:28..and I took her.

1:19:32 > 1:19:35Her head was so heavy. Warm.

1:19:36 > 1:19:38Hot, almost.

1:19:41 > 1:19:42So heavy.

1:19:50 > 1:19:52What did you do then?

1:19:54 > 1:19:57Father Harkins came. Took Christine away.

1:19:57 > 1:19:59I didn't want to see her any more.

1:20:01 > 1:20:04Did he call the police?

1:20:04 > 1:20:06Oh, no - why would he?

1:20:07 > 1:20:09It was an accident.

1:20:15 > 1:20:18Boy, we had this coming.

1:20:18 > 1:20:20All those little glances in the mirror.

1:20:23 > 1:20:25You want the same thing as I do.

1:20:25 > 1:20:28- No!- Hey, come on, let me in!

1:20:28 > 1:20:31- Get off!- Hey!

1:20:31 > 1:20:33- Ah!- You'll be sorry!

1:20:34 > 1:20:36- What are you doin'? What are you doin'?- Let me out!

1:20:36 > 1:20:38Hey!

1:20:38 > 1:20:42- What are you doin'? Come on! - Let me out, or I'll jump! - No, you won't.

1:20:47 > 1:20:50- I want to see the baby's grave. - The grave?

1:20:50 > 1:20:54Christine Falls's baby. I know she's buried here.

1:20:54 > 1:20:55I could call the police, you know.

1:20:55 > 1:20:57Oh, I bet you could.

1:21:00 > 1:21:04Listen. Mr Griffin is there, visiting, before he leaves.

1:21:04 > 1:21:06I don't care if the Pope is there.

1:21:06 > 1:21:08I want to see that grave.

1:21:50 > 1:21:53The baby is yours...

1:21:53 > 1:21:54Jesus!

1:21:54 > 1:21:58All Mal did was try to help, and he made a mess of that.

1:21:58 > 1:22:01I'm going to get her out of this place, little Christine.

1:22:01 > 1:22:03I'm going to get her to a proper cemetery.

1:22:03 > 1:22:06That girl was young enough to be your daughter -

1:22:06 > 1:22:07young enough to be your granddaughter!

1:22:07 > 1:22:11Yes, I've sinned and God will punish me for it.

1:22:11 > 1:22:13Has already - taken Chrissie from me.

1:22:13 > 1:22:17I suppose you're going to tell me that you couldn't help yourself.

1:22:17 > 1:22:20Ah, Quirke. You're a young man still.

1:22:20 > 1:22:22You don't know what it's like to be...

1:22:22 > 1:22:24to watch your powers failing.

1:22:24 > 1:22:27Then a girl like Chrissie comes along

1:22:27 > 1:22:30and you feel like you're 20 years old again.

1:22:30 > 1:22:31The orphans...

1:22:33 > 1:22:37Were you running the whole thing? You and Josh?

1:22:37 > 1:22:39And Dolly Moran - what about her?

1:22:39 > 1:22:42That was Costigan.

1:22:42 > 1:22:46He sent those fellows to look for something she had.

1:22:46 > 1:22:47They weren't supposed to hurt her.

1:22:47 > 1:22:49And who sent them after me?

1:22:49 > 1:22:54Have a heart, Quirke - would I want to see you hurt?

1:22:54 > 1:22:56You who were a son to me.

1:22:56 > 1:22:59And I revered you.

1:22:59 > 1:23:02Has it crossed your mind yet that your Phoebe

1:23:02 > 1:23:05was the start of it all?

1:23:05 > 1:23:08She was the first baby to be sent over to Boston,

1:23:08 > 1:23:13because you were too destroyed by drink and grief to look after her?

1:23:15 > 1:23:19It was Phoebe gave Josh Crawford the idea.

1:23:20 > 1:23:24So you see, you have something to be proud of.

1:23:24 > 1:23:26What, this?

1:23:26 > 1:23:27Those are only the ones who died.

1:23:27 > 1:23:30There are hundreds and thousands more, doing God's work,

1:23:30 > 1:23:31all over the world!

1:23:31 > 1:23:33You took their babies from their mother.

1:23:33 > 1:23:35Some people are not meant to have children.

1:23:35 > 1:23:37And who decides that, Garret?

1:23:37 > 1:23:40We do! We decide!

1:23:40 > 1:23:42Women in the tenements of Dublin and Cork,

1:23:42 > 1:23:48bearing 17, 18 children in as many years.

1:23:48 > 1:23:52What sort of a life would those youngsters face?

1:23:52 > 1:23:56Aren't they better off here with families to take care of them?

1:23:56 > 1:23:59Weren't you better off with me than Carricklea?

1:23:59 > 1:24:03Do you know the kinds of things that went on in that place?

1:24:03 > 1:24:05I got you out.

1:24:07 > 1:24:09This racket with the babies...

1:24:09 > 1:24:11- It is not a racket! - Is it going to continue?

1:24:11 > 1:24:14- Why not?- Because if it is, I'm going to go to the police.

1:24:14 > 1:24:16And tell them what, huh?

1:24:16 > 1:24:18That Judge Griffin found loving homes

1:24:18 > 1:24:21for hundreds of unwanted children?

1:24:21 > 1:24:25They'd laugh in your face! Come on, Quirke.

1:24:25 > 1:24:29When are you going to grow up and start behaving like a man?

1:24:29 > 1:24:31I will bring you down, Garret!

1:24:33 > 1:24:34You can try.

1:25:06 > 1:25:07Phoebe?

1:25:28 > 1:25:29I'm sorry.

1:25:36 > 1:25:37All right.

1:25:43 > 1:25:47You all lied to me. All of you.

1:25:50 > 1:25:51And you were the worst.

1:26:02 > 1:26:05Couldn't you see I was in love with you?

1:27:01 > 1:27:04I adore convent girls.

1:27:04 > 1:27:06They have such a well developed sense of sin.

1:27:06 > 1:27:08What would I say to Mal?

1:27:08 > 1:27:11You can tell him you're going to Verona with me.

1:27:11 > 1:27:14The blood from the left ventricle is more diluted than the blood from the right.

1:27:14 > 1:27:17You're going to have to spell it out for me, Dr Sinclair.

1:27:17 > 1:27:20- Blackmail. - I've a position in this city.

1:27:20 > 1:27:22- Are you meddling again?- Possibly.

1:27:22 > 1:27:27If I do it, you may never, ever judge me again.

1:27:28 > 1:27:30Is somebody there?
