0:00:02 > 0:00:09This film contains some violent scenes, very strong language,
0:00:09 > 0:00:16and some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02I first tasted semen when I was seven years old.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Nothing to say?
0:01:11 > 0:01:14It's certainly a startling opening line.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16What is that, irony?
0:01:17 > 0:01:19I'm sorry. Let's start again.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30What do you want to say to me?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I'm here to listen to whatever you have to say.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37I was raped by a priest when I was seven years old.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42Orally and anally, as they say in the court reports.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46This went on for five years - every other day for five years.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52I bled a lot, as you can imagine.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I bled a terrible amount.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Have you spoken to anyone about this?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I'm speaking to you, now!
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I mean, have you sought professional help?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Why? So I could learn how to cope?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12So I could learn how to live with it? Maybe I don't want to cope.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Maybe I don't want to learn how to live with it.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Why don't you make a formal complaint? You can testify.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27The man's dead.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35I don't know what to say to you.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39I have no answer for you, I'm sorry.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45What good would it do anyway, if he were still alive?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48What would be the point of killing the bastard?
0:02:48 > 0:02:53That would be no news. There's no point in killing a bad priest.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57But killing a good one? That would be a shock, now!
0:02:57 > 0:02:59They wouldn't know what to make of that.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I'm going to kill you, Father.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07I'm going to kill you cos you've done nothing wrong.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I'm going to kill you because you're innocent.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Not right now, though.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19I'll give you enough time to put your house in order.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Make your peace with God.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Sunday week, let's say.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I'll meet you down on the beach, down by the water there.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35MAN CHUCKLES
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Killing a priest on a Sunday! That'll be a good one.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Do you not have anything to say to me, Father?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Not right now, no.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53But I'm sure I'll think of something by Sunday week.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00MAN EXITS
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Body of Christ. - Amen.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Body of Christ. - Amen.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- Body of Christ. - Amen.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- Body of Christ. - Amen.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- Body of Christ. - Amen.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24A little too much wine in the chalice again there, Micheal.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Sorry, Father.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I'm wondering, is this some kind of ploy on your behalf?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- A ploy, Father?- I've noticed my stocks of booze appear to be...
0:05:32 > 0:05:35somewhat diminished of late.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I'm wondering, is this some kind of ploy you're working?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Cover up for the wine you've been imbibing on the QT.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43I have no idea what you're talking about.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Father Leary noticed nothing amiss.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Father Leary does not know you as well as I do, Micheal.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52He may well underestimate the depths of your Machiavellian chicanery.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Can I go now, Father?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55What's the hurry?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Have they called a meeting at Mafia Headquarters?
0:06:03 > 0:06:04On your way!
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Things you hear in confession these days!
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- It's depressing.- You have to detach yourself from it.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21We're here to provide solace.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Your personal feelings don't come into it.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I know that! What do you take me for?
0:06:27 > 0:06:31It's difficult, though. The mess people make of their lives.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34What's the problem? Without going into details, obviously.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Your woman with the big black eye on her. Have you seen her?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Veronica Brennan. Yeah. - She's an odd one.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Things she comes out with.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44It's like she's trying to drag you down into the muck.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Do you know what "felching" is?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I do know what "felching" is, yeah.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- I had to look it up.- This is you not going into details, is it?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Sorry. Anyway, whatever is going on with her,
0:06:55 > 0:06:57it's obviously all gotten out of hand.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59She's getting knocked around now.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Well, if you say anything to her she'll raise holy hell.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04She'll say it's on the basis of what she said during confession.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I know, I know, we can't have that.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09She'll get me excommunicated, the cow.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13I'll have a word with her. Jack, as well.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Part of my pastor duties, and what have you.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Nothing to do with her confession or anything. See what's going on.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20FATHER LEARY GRUNTS
0:07:20 > 0:07:25That coloured fellow, the...Ugandan. He's one of her lovers, I think.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Simon's from the Ivory Coast.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Right. I knew it was that or Guyana, one of those African countries.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Guyana is in South America.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Don't think so now, Father.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I was always pretty good at the old geography.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Not bad!
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Surprisingly.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I was expecting a daub.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Who are these two lads?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Don't know. I've been reading these ghost stories.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Maybe it's got something to do with that.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Spooky.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10So, do you know who it was?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Yes, I know who it was.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Do you know him well?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Well enough.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Knowing this man as you do, do you think it was an idle threat?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I don't know. I'm not sure.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26If you're not sure, it means it's possible.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Yes, I suppose.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32You didn't grant him absolution, obviously?
0:09:32 > 0:09:33He didn't ask for it.
0:09:35 > 0:09:41Well, there you have it. The man is not penitent. There's no contrition.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46He's threatening to commit a crime, not asking for forgiveness for one.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50The inviolability of the sacramental seal does not apply.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52You're saying I should go to the police?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56I'm not saying anything, James.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00The choice is yours.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Don't tell me - you made the classic error.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24You're supposed to cut down, not across.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37This is Bruno.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39And I always wanted a fast car, a red one.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42I thought you'd already had your midlife crisis?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50# This old road may never change
0:10:53 > 0:10:56# The way it's been
0:10:59 > 0:11:06# And all the ways of war can't change it back again... #
0:11:06 > 0:11:09You're a very nice-looking young woman.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Thank you.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14I like your bow tie.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16It's got polka dots.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20This is my daughter Fiona, Milo. She's over from London.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21You're having me on.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23I'm not having you on. What are you on about?
0:11:23 > 0:11:24But you're a priest.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27I was married before I became a priest.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29My wife and I had a child - Fiona.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30My wife died,
0:11:30 > 0:11:32and after that, I joined the priesthood.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- You can do that, can you? - It would appear so.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Don't tell me - you made the classic error.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- I've already done that gag, Frank. - You're supposed to cut down...
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- I said I've already done it! - Now, now!
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Drop of the hard stuff for yourself,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53and a generous serving of the old water of life
0:11:53 > 0:11:55for this beautiful, yet troubled...
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Oh, fuck off!
0:11:57 > 0:12:00An exceedingly dirty mouth. I like that in a whore.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01Brendan, now's not the time.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Whatever you say, Father. You're the boss.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13How's that working out for you?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Oh, I haven't been out on the tear in a good while.- So you say.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20No, no. I've been a very good lad. And don't change the subject.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22What was the subject?
0:12:22 > 0:12:27- You know what the subject was.- Oh, Daddy, a man. A man, what else?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29It's getting to be a habit, honey.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32I know. It's pathetic, I can't do anything right.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Nice shades.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Do they make me look like Jackie O?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Not really, no. SHE CHUCKLES
0:13:23 > 0:13:27This what you came to gawp at? Nasty, huh?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Interesting colour.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32They say you can find beauty in everything, if you look hard enough.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36And I'd say you can find beauty in most things.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Not everything. That's nonsense.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Sure, what would I know? I'm just an old washer woman.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Listen, if you don't want to talk to me, that's fine.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I'm not here to compel you to do anything.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50You never know, Father. Maybe I'd like to be compelled.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Maybe I'd enjoy it.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58I'll have a word with Jack. See what he has to say for himself.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Grand Inquisitor, huh? Go on ahead for yourself, so.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03I'm sure he'll be only too pleased to have someone else
0:14:03 > 0:14:04to bore the ears off.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07I stopped listening to his old shite a long time ago.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10That's how it is, is it? I'm sorry, I didn't realise.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14You thought we were another Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Well, now, that wasn't a very happy marriage,
0:14:16 > 0:14:17so it's not a great analogy.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23You know, that's what I've always liked about you, Father.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25You're just a little too sharp for this parish.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Mad fellow altogether, he was. Decapitated the two of them.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30There was blood all over the place.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- Hi, Father. - Jack.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Could I have a word? In private.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Sounds ominous.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Where's Johnnie Cochran when you need him, huh?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53I hope we don't get locked in here. We'd have to make love to keep warm.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I had a word with Veronica, Jack.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03You were out at the house, were you? Is everything all right?
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Everything's fine.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08I mean, no, everything's not fine.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Mass on Sunday? With the shades and everything.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Oh, that. - Yes, that.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Are you laying into her, or what's going on?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18That wasn't me, now. No. That's that black fellow that she's been seeing.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21I mean, the coloured fellow she's been seeing. Sorry, I didn't mean
0:15:21 > 0:15:23to be racist there, that was a slip of the tongue.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- You're saying he beats her up? - Don't quote me on it,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27but that's what I'm assuming. Yeah.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33She speaks in riddles half the time. I can't make any sense out of her.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34I think she's bipolar.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Or lactose intolerant, one of the two.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40I don't know where I am with her any more, Father.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43And if I'm honest with you, I'm kind of glad to have her off my hands.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Even if this new fellow is knocking her about?
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- Sure, what's that to do with me? - What?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Not everyone can carry the weight of the world!
0:15:52 > 0:15:55What about your marriage? The oaths you took?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57The oaths I took!
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Listen...
0:15:59 > 0:16:04she's happier, now that she's seeing him. A lot more settled down.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Like, a lot calmer. And I'm not under surveillance any more.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11I can just reel in at whatever time I like.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14So everybody's happy! Where's the harm in that?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Shall I cut you a side of beef to take home with you?
0:16:21 > 0:16:22It's freshly slaughtered.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- Simon. - Hello, Father.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32I'm really busy today.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35It's not about my car.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37It's about Mrs Brennan. You're her boyfriend?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43I fuck her from time to time. Does that make me her boyfriend?
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Does around here.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48She has a lot of boyfriends, I've heard.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Is that right?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Do you want me to confess to adultery? Is that why you're here?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Somebody beat her up.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- Did she tell you I beat her up? - No, she didn't.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Then why are you here?
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Somebody beat her up.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04LIGHTER CLICKS It's either you or the husband.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08I do not think Jack would beat her up. He's not the type.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10What is the type?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12DOG BARKS
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Some of them like to be hit, you know?
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Who?
0:17:16 > 0:17:20White women, Irish women. Do not ask me why.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- You would have to be a psychiatrist. - That's nonsense.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24No, no.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26They like to be hit.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29In certain situations, they beg for it, in fact.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31So she got what was coming to her, did she?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- I was speaking generally. - Oh, you were speaking generally.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Well, I'm speaking specifically.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Don't do it again. - You cannot tell me what to do!
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- We're not in the missions now. - Oh, the missions! Right.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Are you going to chop off my hand if I disobey you?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49You know your history. That's grand.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50I like to read.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52You probably think that black people cannot...
0:17:52 > 0:17:58Yeah, yeah, yeah. Black people, white people. Blah, blah, blah.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Run along now, Father. Your sermon is finished.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Better watch your step there.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Why is that?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Well, if he was him who was laying into her,
0:18:11 > 0:18:13you'll have to tread very carefully there.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18It's a very sensitive area.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20You'll have to explain this to me, now, Father.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22I'm afraid you've lost me completely.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24The Church can't be seen to be getting involved
0:18:24 > 0:18:27in matters of diversity and the like.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Do you know?
0:18:28 > 0:18:30You mean, like, if he's beating her up as one of
0:18:30 > 0:18:32those ethnic rituals or something?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Like when they do that thing when they shake hands(!)
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- You're mocking me now, I can tell! - For fuck's sake...
0:18:40 > 0:18:44We have to be very circumspect in those areas. That's all I'm saying.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I'll be very circumspect, Father. Don't you worry about that.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51# That's what he said
0:18:51 > 0:18:54# I need someone to love me
0:18:56 > 0:19:00# Need somebody to carry me home
0:19:00 > 0:19:04# To San Francisco... #
0:19:04 > 0:19:06MOTOR HUMS
0:19:08 > 0:19:10How's all?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12At death's door. You?
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Same. Still using the old typewriter, I see.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18That's a bit of an affectation.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21My whole life has been an affectation.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23That's one of those lines that sounds witty
0:19:23 > 0:19:25and doesn't actually make much sense.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Caught out again.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29How's the latest masterpiece coming?
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Better than "Cecelia Ahern" but not as good as "Banville".
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Wish I could say that about everybody.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37What have you got for me?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Ooh.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41Oh.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Need anything else?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53A gun.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Yeah?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57A Walther PPK should suffice.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00James Bond's weapon of choice.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Old Adolf killed himself with one in the bunker.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04That's the plan, is it?
0:20:04 > 0:20:08I've no intention of writhing around in agony for hours on end
0:20:08 > 0:20:09when the time comes,
0:20:09 > 0:20:12not knowing who I am or where I am.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13That's nonsense.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Pragmatism.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17Where would I get a gun from?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- Oh, come on, now.- Give me a break.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22You've never been short of guns in this country, have you?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26God, you're awful maudlin today, I must say.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31DOG WHINES
0:20:42 > 0:20:44You don't have any photographs.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47No.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52I'm in agreement with the Apaches on that score.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53The Apaches?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56The Apaches, the Arapaho...
0:20:56 > 0:20:59The Hunkpapa Sioux.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Not even one of Mum?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13I don't need a photograph to remember your mother.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Memories fade.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22That's what's so terrible about them.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28No, they don't.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Not really.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36I should buy a cane.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39It'd suit you. You're old beyond your years.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Yeah.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43It'd give me a feeling of imperiousness.
0:21:43 > 0:21:49- And you could lean on it. - I could lean on it, reflectively.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Point things out.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Club someone to death with it.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57A blunt instrument, yeah. Who, though?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59A certain young man from Rathmines.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Aren't all instruments blunt?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Flugelhorns?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Who's this, now?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18This is my daughter, Fiona.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Oh, right! Like a French novel or something.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23What was the fellow's name? Bernanos?
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Michael Fitzgerald.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I bought the big house up the road a ways beyond there.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- Haven't seen you at mass recently. - I've been too busy.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I was thinking of getting a chapel built on the grounds, actually.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34You know, like Brideshead Revisited.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Then you could pop in, freelance, like, and save me the trouble.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Lovely creature.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Really expensive too. Prime horseflesh, this is.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Interesting man, your father. - Is that right?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47A good man. A fine man.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Nobody around here has a bad word to say about him.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51It makes you wonder what he's hiding.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52God, you're a fucking prick!
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- Oh, feisty! - Fiona...
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I'm only codding. No offence meant, as they say.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Do me a favour, though, Father, will you?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Swing by the house one afternoon.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- I've a proposition that might interest you.- Really?
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Yes, really.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06A financial proposition. That interests you, doesn't it?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09It should be a black day altogether, the day the Catholic Church
0:23:09 > 0:23:11is no longer interested in money.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Huh?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Inspector Stanton.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19The clergy, at this time of the night,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21when we could be getting up to all sorts...
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Well, hey, Father! What do you hear? What do you say?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28I'm sorry, I didn't realise you had company.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Aye, sure. It's only little Leo.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35MUSIC: Run Rabbit Run by Flanagan & Allen
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Are you checking out my ass, Father?
0:23:38 > 0:23:39Huh? No.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44He's only messing with you, Father. What can I do for you?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47There's nothing to hide from Leo. Right, Leo?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49He likes an open book, Jerry. Like your ass.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Is this a police matter, Father?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56No, it's a personal...
0:23:56 > 0:23:57a personal thing.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00It's a personal...personal thing.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01You look worried, Father.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04My advice - take it on the lamister, huh?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06You don't want to drop in for the phonus bolonus,
0:24:06 > 0:24:08and wind up with a sock in the kisser. Get me?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10He's not in the mood, Leo.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Maybe I can cheer up the old sourpuss.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14I'll show you a good time, Father.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Good-Time Leo, that's me.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Although it'll be extra if I let you wear that cassock.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21See, I know what you holy rollers are like
0:24:21 > 0:24:22when you're getting golden hairs.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24# Mama! #
0:24:27 > 0:24:28I'm out of here.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31# Run, rabbit, run, rabbit Run, run, run
0:24:31 > 0:24:35# Don't give the farmer his fun, fun, fun... #
0:24:35 > 0:24:36DOOR CLOSES
0:24:36 > 0:24:38He's a character, huh?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43What's troubling you, Father? You seem agitated.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45I need a favour.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48My great grandfather's.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50He said he took it off one of the Cairo Gang
0:24:50 > 0:24:53when he shot them all on Bloody Sunday.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55The first Bloody Sunday, obviously.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Ever had call to use it?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Yeah.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05I killed a man with it once in the Wicklow Mountains.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09What case was that?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11He was just pissing me off, like.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Has somebody been threatening you, Father?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21What have you been up to now?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Not you as well, huh?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27GUN CLICKS
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- What did you say you wanted it for, Father?- I didn't say.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36I'd say you wanted it for your dog.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38The dog's dying. It's in pain.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41You're worried you might have to put it out of its misery
0:25:41 > 0:25:43one of these days. Isn't that right?
0:25:43 > 0:25:44My dog's dying. It's in pain.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47I'm worried I might have to put it out of its misery one of these days.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49An act of compassion, huh?
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Well, I can't argue with that. I'm a compassionate man myself.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55I had one of those, you know, early on.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- One of what? - A paedophile priest.
0:25:58 > 0:26:0020 years ago, now, this was, in Dublin.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03A young girl made a complaint of rape.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- What happened? - What do you think happened?
0:26:05 > 0:26:06I arrested the bastard,
0:26:06 > 0:26:09and 48 hours later I was packing my bags and making my way out west.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- They moved you out? - Reassigned, yeah.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14What happened to him?
0:26:14 > 0:26:15I was told they were sending him to one of
0:26:15 > 0:26:17the missions overseas - Africa.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21He could do whatever he wanted over there, I suppose.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Thanks, anyway.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Like the man says, Father,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27"Protect yourself at all times!"
0:26:27 > 0:26:29ENGINE RUMBLES
0:26:38 > 0:26:40SHE BREATHES DEEPLY
0:26:49 > 0:26:51DOG BARKS
0:27:15 > 0:27:18How long have you been in this crap?
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Last couple of years.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23It's supposed to be therapeutic.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- Maybe I should take it up. - Maybe you should.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28Are you seeing someone in London?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I assume you mean professionally, rather than...
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Let's just stop all this carry-on.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35If you can't talk to me, you should talk to someone.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36I suppose I should.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Enjoying yourself?
0:27:40 > 0:27:41LINE SWOOSHES
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Yeah, we are, yeah.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Lovely day!
0:27:46 > 0:27:48It is indeed, yeah.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49Stamps!
0:27:55 > 0:27:57That's the future of the priesthood?
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Milo.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13I need to speak to you, Father.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Take a pew, literally.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Why do people kill themselves, Father?
0:28:25 > 0:28:27"Why do people kill themselves?"
0:28:27 > 0:28:29That's jumping in the deep end.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33Lots of reasons, I suppose. Why do you think yourself?
0:28:33 > 0:28:38I don't know. The drink, depression...
0:28:38 > 0:28:39Lack of sex, maybe.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40You're a presentable young man.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43I wouldn't have thought you'd have trouble in that area.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45I don't have the gift of the gab. Never had it.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46That's making you feel suicidal?
0:28:46 > 0:28:48More bored than anything else.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51It's either committing suicide or joining the army.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Those are pretty drastic choices either way.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55You can learn a trade if you join the army.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57You can learn a trade if you don't join the army.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58You can experience more of life.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00You think you can become a more authentic person
0:29:00 > 0:29:02by fighting in a war?
0:29:02 > 0:29:04By killing people?
0:29:04 > 0:29:06You're against me joining is what I'm sensing.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Let's put it this way -
0:29:08 > 0:29:10I've always felt there's something inherently psychopathic
0:29:10 > 0:29:13about someone who joins the army in peacetime.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15As far as I'm concerned, people join the army
0:29:15 > 0:29:18because they want to find out what it's like to kill someone.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20I hardly think that's an inclination that should be
0:29:20 > 0:29:22encouraged in modern society, do you?
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Jesus Christ didn't think so either,
0:29:27 > 0:29:31and the Commandment "thou shalt not kill"
0:29:31 > 0:29:33does not have an asterisk beside it,
0:29:33 > 0:29:35referring you to the bottom of the page,
0:29:35 > 0:29:38where you find a list of instances where it's OK to kill people.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40What about self-defence?
0:29:43 > 0:29:45It's a tricky one, all right.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48We're hardly being invaded, though, are we?
0:29:48 > 0:29:50The war on terror has no borders.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54I don't think Sligo's too high on Al-Qaeda's agenda, Milo, do you?
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Who knows what goes on in the Muslim mind?
0:29:57 > 0:30:01I have had murderous feelings, though, I have to admit.
0:30:01 > 0:30:02Not getting laid -
0:30:02 > 0:30:06it's starting to make me feel really angry towards women.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08And so I thought, well, if I join the Army,
0:30:08 > 0:30:10those inclinations, as you call them, would be seen as a plus.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13On your application, like, I mean, they don't come right out
0:30:13 > 0:30:15and say that's what they're looking for.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18In the advertisements it's all about seeing the world and all that shite.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20But I would assume wanting to murder someone would be
0:30:20 > 0:30:22like having a degree in engineering or something, you know?
0:30:22 > 0:30:25It would outweigh my lack of qualifications.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Right.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Do you use pornography at all?
0:30:31 > 0:30:33I feel I've exhausted all the possibilities of pornography.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- All of them? - Well, nearly all of them.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38I'm on to transsexual pornography at the moment.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Chicks with dicks, you know?
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Maybe there's a simpler solution.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Leave home.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Go somewhere where your chances of meeting available young women
0:30:51 > 0:30:54with loose morals are increased proportionately.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Sligo town, do you mean?
0:30:57 > 0:31:01No, I was thinking more Dublin, London, New York?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03New York?
0:31:03 > 0:31:05I'd only end up getting the AIDS, knowing my luck.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Thanks for taking the time to talk to me, Father.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09I can't say it's been of much help,
0:31:09 > 0:31:14but it's good to get these things out in the open, I suppose.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16ENGINE RUMBLES
0:31:24 > 0:31:27GUN CLICKS
0:31:27 > 0:31:28Pull!
0:31:28 > 0:31:29GUNSHOT
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Pull!
0:31:36 > 0:31:37GUNSHOT
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Pull!
0:31:44 > 0:31:45GUNSHOT
0:31:53 > 0:31:58They've all left me, you know. That's why the place is so empty.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00It's like a tomb.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Who's left you?
0:32:03 > 0:32:04The wife, the kids...
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Even Consuela, and she's from Ecuador,
0:32:07 > 0:32:09so you'd think she wouldn't have that many options,
0:32:09 > 0:32:11but apparently not.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13I'm sorry to hear that.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18You mentioned a financial proposition.
0:32:18 > 0:32:24I'd like to make amends. Do penance for past sins.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Although, I suppose all sins are past,
0:32:27 > 0:32:29otherwise they wouldn't be sins.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31They'd just be...
0:32:31 > 0:32:34evil thoughts, floating around in your mind.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Why do you wear the old soutane, by the way?
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Are you trying to make a statement or something?
0:32:42 > 0:32:46I mean, look. This watch, here - that's making a statement.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48That's a TAG Heuer. It's very expensive.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Yeah, are you going to get to the point, Mr Fitzgerald,
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- or are you going to ramble on? - Let me ask you a question.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57What do you see when you look at me?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59I'll tell you what you see.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02You see a handsome, sophisticated,
0:33:02 > 0:33:04eminent man in the prime of his life.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06A colossus, let's say.
0:33:06 > 0:33:11A colossus who once bestrode the world of high finance
0:33:11 > 0:33:15and became profoundly influential in certain spheres.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19Not to say inordinately wealthy. Not to say sickeningly wealthy.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Let's face it...
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Are you sure I can't tempt you?
0:33:24 > 0:33:26I'll stick to the water.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28I heard you liked to drink.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30I liked it too much.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34There's no such thing as too much.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36There's only not enough!
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Where was I?
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Talking about money, what else?
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Now, now...
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Got out in time, did you, before it all came crashing down?
0:33:46 > 0:33:48It was the perfect getaway, Father.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51They say charges are going to be filed against me,
0:33:51 > 0:33:53for various so-called irregularities,
0:33:53 > 0:33:56but they're always threatening guff like that.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58They'd have to charge half the financiers in Ireland,
0:33:58 > 0:34:00and the bank managers along with them,
0:34:00 > 0:34:03and then troop into government and charge those cunts as well,
0:34:03 > 0:34:06and we all know full well that's not going to happen.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08No, there'll be no punishment forthcoming
0:34:08 > 0:34:11for a man such as myself.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14There never is.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18Still, I feel a...modicum of guilt about the whole thing.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21A modicum? Do you?
0:34:21 > 0:34:22Well...
0:34:22 > 0:34:26I feel like I ought to feel guilty.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29I'm sure it's not the same thing.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32I love this one. Really expensive.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35I'm not quite sure what it's supposed to mean, though.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Why does it have to mean anything?
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Everything has to mean something - otherwise, what's the point?
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Of course, I don't have to know what it means.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45I own it - that's enough.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49That's all that matters? Ownership? Possession?
0:34:49 > 0:34:52How much land does the Church own? How much gold?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54That's the Church. It's not me.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57You are a representative of the Church, are you not?
0:34:57 > 0:34:59- If you say so. - I do say so, yeah.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01I think you're a very judgmental man, Father.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Yes, I am, but I try not to be.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07You think I don't have feelings? You think I don't care about...
0:35:07 > 0:35:08I think you don't want to do penance at all!
0:35:08 > 0:35:11I think you asked me here to make fun of me.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14But when you want to do penance sincerely,
0:35:14 > 0:35:16you can give me a call, at any time,
0:35:16 > 0:35:18and I'll try my best to help you!
0:35:20 > 0:35:22I could piss on this, you know.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27I said I love it - I don't. It doesn't mean anything to me.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28I could take it down right now and piss on it.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Do you want me to do that? Do you?
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- Why would I want you to do that? - I don't know.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37So I can have some sort of spiritual revelation.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Some sort of fucking epiphany, huh?
0:35:40 > 0:35:42OK, let's go.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- HE GRUNTS - All right, here...
0:35:45 > 0:35:46Now...
0:35:48 > 0:35:50I'll give you an epiphany.
0:35:50 > 0:35:51Well, I don't know, now.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53ZIP SQUEAKS
0:35:53 > 0:35:55People like you have pissed on everything else, I suppose,
0:35:55 > 0:35:57so why not that too?
0:36:17 > 0:36:20You have your totems, I see.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21Who is it?
0:36:21 > 0:36:24French couple, head-on.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28She was totally unscathed. He got fucked.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Wrong side of the road?
0:36:29 > 0:36:33The careful young ones hit them drunk, of course.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37- How many?- Five, and I'm including the Frenchman.
0:36:37 > 0:36:38Dear God!
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Marine biologist he was.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44That's where I'd like to be - under the sea.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- Where are the young ones? - The morgue. Best place for them.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Every life is sacred, Frank. For God's sake...
0:36:52 > 0:36:56Ah, no - some are less sacred than others.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58MACHINE BEEPS
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Through this holy anointing, may the Lord in his love and mercy...
0:37:10 > 0:37:11help you...
0:37:11 > 0:37:13with the grace of the Holy Spirit.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14Amen.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26May the Lord who frees you from sin save you...
0:37:26 > 0:37:27and raise you up.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28Amen.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32HEAVY BREATHING
0:37:34 > 0:37:38Have you performed the last rites many times?
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Yes.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Usually with older people, of course.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46They have time to prepare for it.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Everybody knows it's coming.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55It is easier?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58It's never easy.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01More understandable, I'd say.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Less unfair.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06In situations like this one,
0:38:06 > 0:38:10people are shocked at the randomness of it.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14They curse God.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16They curse their fellow man.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18They lose their faith, in some cases.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23They lose their faith?
0:38:25 > 0:38:28It must not have been much of a faith to begin with,
0:38:28 > 0:38:30if it is so easy for them to lose it.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Yes, but what is faith?
0:38:33 > 0:38:37For most people, it's the fear of death and nothing more than that.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43But if that's all it is, it's very easy to lose.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47He was a good man, your husband?
0:38:48 > 0:38:49Yes.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54He was a good man.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59We had a very good life together.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02We loved each other very much,
0:39:02 > 0:39:05and now...
0:39:05 > 0:39:07he has gone.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13And that is not unfair.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15That is just what happened.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23But many people don't live good lives.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28They don't feel love.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33That is what is unfair.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38I feel sorry for them.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Will you say a prayer with me, Teresa?
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with Thee.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Blessed art thou among women,
0:39:54 > 0:39:57and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now,
0:40:01 > 0:40:03and at the hour of death. Amen.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07WIND HOWLS
0:40:10 > 0:40:13THUNDER RUMBLES
0:40:13 > 0:40:16BELL TOLLS
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Finished with all of your gobbledygook?
0:40:20 > 0:40:23How's she holding up?
0:40:23 > 0:40:25She's a strong woman.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26Good-looking, too!
0:40:26 > 0:40:28I could be in there.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31I have a thing for widowers.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Did I ever tell you?
0:40:33 > 0:40:35I think you might have done.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Your material is getting a little stale, after all.
0:40:37 > 0:40:42Ah, sure. The atheistic doctor, it's a cliched part to play.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45There aren't that many good lines.
0:40:45 > 0:40:50One part humanism to nine parts gallows humour.
0:40:50 > 0:40:55Playing you, though? Now, that might be interesting.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Playing me. Who's me?
0:40:57 > 0:40:58The good priest.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00SIREN WAILS
0:41:03 > 0:41:06Excuse me, won't you?
0:41:06 > 0:41:08I have to go kill somebody.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25GUNSHOT ECHOES
0:41:27 > 0:41:30How long was I out?
0:41:30 > 0:41:33Ages. Aeons.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Did I ever tell you the story about Fionn Mac Cumhaill,
0:41:36 > 0:41:38and another big strong lad called Cicsatoin?
0:41:38 > 0:41:40They were at the top of the Ox Mountains...
0:41:40 > 0:41:41They were at the top of the Ox Mountains.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Cicsatoin challenged Fionn to throw a boulder into the sea at Easkey,
0:41:44 > 0:41:46claiming that he couldn't do it.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Fionn accepted the challenge.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Cicsatoin's boulder landed on the shore,
0:41:50 > 0:41:52creating such waves that the sea has not been the same since,
0:41:52 > 0:41:55which is why the Easkey coastline is internationally
0:41:55 > 0:41:57renowned for its surfing.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Fionn's boulder landed short, landed here,
0:42:00 > 0:42:03he drew his sword, split the rock in two and said,
0:42:03 > 0:42:06"Should someone foolhardy enough to pass through the rock three times,
0:42:06 > 0:42:10"they will be squished into tiny little lumps, unceremoniously."
0:42:11 > 0:42:16Not a lot of poetry in that recital. Not a lot of romance.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18I'm sick to death of romance.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23There was a Japanese writer who committed suicide.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27He wrote out a list beforehand of
0:42:27 > 0:42:31all the famous suicides throughout history.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33He included Christ.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Sounds like a smart-arse.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38In the Middle Ages, they would have just said
0:42:38 > 0:42:39I was possessed by demons.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Maybe you were.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Maybe they were nearer the mark back then.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48You think what happened was unimportant -
0:42:48 > 0:42:54insignificant in the great scheme of things, to provoke such a reaction.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57But what may...
0:43:01 > 0:43:06But what may mean nothing to you may be very important to me.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08I'd never say it was unimportant.
0:43:10 > 0:43:14I'd just say the choices you make when you're 30...
0:43:14 > 0:43:16are not the same choices you make when you're 60.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19That's irrelevant.
0:43:19 > 0:43:23Every moment of living has its own logic, its own meaning...
0:43:23 > 0:43:26Maybe so.
0:43:26 > 0:43:28Maybe you're right, there. I'll have to think about that.
0:43:32 > 0:43:36It's a tired old argument, I suppose,
0:43:36 > 0:43:39but what about those you leave behind?
0:43:39 > 0:43:42I belong to myself, not to anybody else.
0:43:42 > 0:43:43True.
0:43:46 > 0:43:47False.
0:43:49 > 0:43:54You'll tell me it would have been a mortal sin, I suppose?
0:43:57 > 0:44:00Would I have suffered eternal damnation, Father?
0:44:05 > 0:44:08God is great.
0:44:08 > 0:44:11The limits of His mercy have not been set.
0:44:17 > 0:44:19Is this is where you want to be buried?
0:44:19 > 0:44:21Why in hell would I want to be buried
0:44:21 > 0:44:24in a God-forsaken place like this?
0:44:24 > 0:44:27Where, then? Pere Lachaise?
0:44:27 > 0:44:29Next to dear old Oscar?
0:44:29 > 0:44:32No, next to Apollinaire and Max Ophuls.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35Oh, very fancy, I must say.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37- I have your gun for you, by the way.- Yeah, right.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39I do so!
0:44:39 > 0:44:41Webley, circa 1920.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43Still in good working order, though,
0:44:43 > 0:44:45or so I've been told by a man who would know.
0:44:45 > 0:44:47Well, hand it over, then.
0:44:47 > 0:44:48I don't have it on me.
0:44:48 > 0:44:49I knew it.
0:44:49 > 0:44:51Worried I might follow through with it, huh?
0:44:51 > 0:44:54You might take a pot shot at me, for all I know.
0:44:54 > 0:44:58Why would I do that? What have you ever done to me except talk garbage?
0:44:58 > 0:45:00That doesn't mean anything.
0:45:00 > 0:45:04Bloody idiots can't even be bothered with a reason for murder these days.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Wake up in a foul mood and it's bang, bang, bang.
0:45:06 > 0:45:10Ah, I don't know about that. Some people have very good reasons.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18Which of the lads are you here to see, Father?
0:45:18 > 0:45:19Freddie Joyce.
0:45:21 > 0:45:25- Freddie Joyce, the murderer... - I know who he is.
0:45:25 > 0:45:26What the hell do you want to see him for?
0:45:26 > 0:45:28He's an old pupil of mine. He asked to see me.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39You know, I've asked them to hang me.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42There's no capital punishment in Ireland, Freddie, as you well know.
0:45:42 > 0:45:45- Why do you want them to hang you? - Cos that's the way Leslie Ryan died.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47You're saying you feel remorse?
0:45:47 > 0:45:51I'm not a monster. Do I look like a monster?
0:45:51 > 0:45:54What do monsters look like?
0:45:54 > 0:45:57I had the cops in here the other day.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00The third degree.
0:46:00 > 0:46:02Wanting to go over all the gory details.
0:46:02 > 0:46:06Which I'm sure you were only too happy to provide.
0:46:06 > 0:46:08They're obsessed with cannibalism.
0:46:08 > 0:46:11"What did it taste like?"
0:46:11 > 0:46:13I told them it tasted like pheasant -
0:46:13 > 0:46:16a bit gamey.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18Good for you. Make a joke about it.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24- Why were they...? - It's the same as always.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26They want to know where the last one is.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28The one they never found.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30The one I connected up.
0:46:34 > 0:46:37Why can't you tell them, Freddie?
0:46:37 > 0:46:40Give the family some kind of peace.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43I wanted to, Father, but, for the life of me,
0:46:43 > 0:46:47I cannot remember where I put it.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49I mean, I know it was in the woods somewhere.
0:46:49 > 0:46:50"Where did I leave my keys?"
0:46:50 > 0:46:54No! I wasn't in my right mind. You know?
0:46:54 > 0:46:56- The LSD...it was like a fairy tale.- Yeah, you know...
0:46:56 > 0:46:58You said all that at the trial, Freddie.
0:46:58 > 0:47:00It's getting kind of tiresome now.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05She was a lovely...
0:47:07 > 0:47:10She was a lovely girl.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13You know, she told me that she'd been abused before,
0:47:13 > 0:47:15so I says, "Well, once more won't make any difference, then."
0:47:15 > 0:47:17HE GIGGLES
0:47:24 > 0:47:27You see the light go out in their eyes...
0:47:27 > 0:47:29and you become God!
0:47:29 > 0:47:30No, you don't!
0:47:33 > 0:47:35No, you don't.
0:47:38 > 0:47:40Why am I here?
0:47:43 > 0:47:45I just wanted someone to talk to.
0:47:47 > 0:47:51I don't think you feel any guilt whatsoever...
0:47:51 > 0:47:53about anything that you've done.
0:47:53 > 0:47:55No, I do. I do, Father.
0:47:58 > 0:48:01I believe what the Bible teaches.
0:48:01 > 0:48:04I believe that if I repent my sins, then I'll be forgiven,
0:48:04 > 0:48:06and I'll be able to go up to heaven,
0:48:06 > 0:48:09and I'll see those girls and I'll tell them how sorry I am.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11And I'll hug them and I'll kiss them,
0:48:11 > 0:48:14and I'll love them with a real, true love,
0:48:14 > 0:48:17and I'll have no desire to hurt them in any way.
0:48:22 > 0:48:25God made me, didn't he?
0:48:27 > 0:48:29I mean, didn't he?
0:48:31 > 0:48:33So he understands me.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35He must do.
0:48:40 > 0:48:41Don't you think?
0:48:44 > 0:48:49I think if God can't understand you, Freddie...
0:48:49 > 0:48:51no-one can.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02You know they're foreclosing on me?
0:49:02 > 0:49:05- Who? - Who? The banks, who else?
0:49:05 > 0:49:07I'm sorry to hear that.
0:49:07 > 0:49:10How come I never hear your mob preaching about that?
0:49:10 > 0:49:11About what?
0:49:11 > 0:49:15About all these bankers that have brought this country to its knees.
0:49:15 > 0:49:17Still throwing people out of their homes, though,
0:49:17 > 0:49:20for not making their payments.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22I never hear your mob talking about that.
0:49:22 > 0:49:24Those are sins too, aren't they?
0:49:24 > 0:49:25Yes, they are.
0:49:25 > 0:49:27That's right.
0:49:27 > 0:49:29I suppose when you have a history of
0:49:29 > 0:49:31screwing the Jews out of their money,
0:49:31 > 0:49:33and collaborating with the Nazis,
0:49:33 > 0:49:36it's like the pot calling the kettle black, huh?
0:49:36 > 0:49:38I suppose it is.
0:49:38 > 0:49:40Getting full use out of your library card, there, Brendan.
0:49:40 > 0:49:45The library's been shut down. Did you not hear? Cutbacks.

0:50:14 > 0:50:16What music do you like?

0:50:27 > 0:50:28Great cocaine!
0:50:28 > 0:50:30SHE SNORTS
0:50:30 > 0:50:31Very moreish!
0:50:37 > 0:50:39Purely medicinal, Father.
0:50:44 > 0:50:46FIDDLE MUSIC PLAYS
0:50:48 > 0:50:51How was your man, Joyce?
0:50:51 > 0:50:55It's been a tough day, let's put it that way.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57How can you hope to connect with someone like that?
0:50:57 > 0:51:00What are you talking about? Not Freddie Joyce!
0:51:00 > 0:51:02I visited him in prison today.
0:51:02 > 0:51:03Why?
0:51:03 > 0:51:07A prisoner deserves spiritual guidance as much as anyone else.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09- Maybe more so. - Is that right?
0:51:09 > 0:51:12So they can find God,
0:51:12 > 0:51:15and then say God has absolved them of all their sins,
0:51:15 > 0:51:18and what they did didn't really matter anyways,
0:51:18 > 0:51:19cos now they're saved(!)
0:51:19 > 0:51:20Something like that, yeah.
0:51:20 > 0:51:23Calm down. You don't know what you're talking about.
0:51:24 > 0:51:27HE SCREAMS, GLASS BREAKS
0:51:27 > 0:51:30Jesus! Would you mind the drinks?!
0:51:30 > 0:51:31For Christ's sake!
0:51:34 > 0:51:37He had that coming a long time, you know yourself.
0:51:37 > 0:51:39MUSIC SPEEDS UP
0:51:48 > 0:51:50He's a fine-looking man.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52I'd watch yourself around him.
0:51:52 > 0:51:56I gave up cocaine a long time ago.
0:51:56 > 0:51:58You took cocaine?
0:51:58 > 0:52:00Come on, let's dance.
0:52:00 > 0:52:02No, no, no...
0:52:02 > 0:52:04What did they call it in your day, a jive?
0:52:04 > 0:52:06- No, no...- Oh, come on!
0:52:36 > 0:52:39Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
0:52:39 > 0:52:42Say one Our Father and ten Hail Marys.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44I've sinned more than that.
0:52:44 > 0:52:48Make an ascent to Croagh Patrick, then, on your knees.
0:52:48 > 0:52:52On my knees, is it? What made you say that?
0:52:54 > 0:52:56SHE LAUGHS
0:53:00 > 0:53:02Your church is on fire.
0:53:02 > 0:53:04Oh, fuck off, Brendan. I'm not in the mood.
0:53:04 > 0:53:05Your church is on fire!
0:53:11 > 0:53:12Jesus Christ!
0:53:17 > 0:53:20I called the fire brigade, Father,
0:53:20 > 0:53:22for all the good it'll do.
0:53:22 > 0:53:24Sure, they'll never get here in time.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30- Why didn't anybody see? - Daddy, stay away.
0:53:30 > 0:53:32FLAMES ROAR
0:53:32 > 0:53:34Daddy! Come away.
0:53:36 > 0:53:38Why didn't anybody see?!
0:53:44 > 0:53:47They're probably going to blame you for this.
0:53:50 > 0:53:52FLAMES ROAR, BUILDING CRASHES
0:53:54 > 0:53:56Professional job, I'll say that for them.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58Any fool can start a fire, for fuck's sake.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20Who'd do a thing like this?
0:54:20 > 0:54:22Somebody with a grudge against the Church, obviously.
0:54:22 > 0:54:24That could be half the country,
0:54:24 > 0:54:26unless there's a personal angle.
0:54:26 > 0:54:27How do you mean?
0:54:27 > 0:54:30Nobody with a grudge against your father, no?
0:54:32 > 0:54:34Who'd have a grudge against you?
0:54:34 > 0:54:37Maybe this is the future, huh?
0:54:37 > 0:54:40Maybe it'll all be ruins one day.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42Maybe one day kids will say to their parents in amazement,
0:54:42 > 0:54:44"They used to believe in what?"
0:54:44 > 0:54:46And all that up in the sky,
0:54:46 > 0:54:48and if we're good we'll go to heaven,
0:54:48 > 0:54:50and if we're bad we'll go to hell.
0:54:51 > 0:54:52You know, for a policeman,
0:54:52 > 0:54:55you seem to know very little about human nature.
0:54:55 > 0:54:56Maybe you're right,
0:54:56 > 0:54:59so you'll know more than me.
0:54:59 > 0:55:01Now, don't touch anything now.
0:55:01 > 0:55:03I'll have to get the forensic boys down,
0:55:03 > 0:55:05the supercilious pricks!
0:55:13 > 0:55:16What do we do now?
0:55:16 > 0:55:19We'll have to rebuild it, I suppose.
0:55:19 > 0:55:22Maybe use bricks next time -
0:55:22 > 0:55:23might be a good idea.
0:55:36 > 0:55:37Oh, God, Father.
0:55:41 > 0:55:43Is this about the coke?
0:55:43 > 0:55:45I can take it or leave it.
0:55:45 > 0:55:47Really?
0:55:47 > 0:55:49Yeah. Most people can.
0:55:49 > 0:55:52The only ones who can't had problems to begin with.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54We shouldn't write them off, though,
0:55:54 > 0:55:56the ones who had problems to begin with.
0:55:59 > 0:56:01What do you want to do with your life, Veronica?
0:56:01 > 0:56:04SHE EXHALES
0:56:04 > 0:56:06Nothing.
0:56:06 > 0:56:09"Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow:
0:56:09 > 0:56:11"they toil not, neither do they spin."
0:56:11 > 0:56:13Very nice quotation.
0:56:13 > 0:56:15Ah, sure. Everybody knows that one.
0:56:15 > 0:56:17It's hackneyed, yeah.
0:56:17 > 0:56:20It's like "turn the other cheek" or "judge not lest ye be judged".
0:56:23 > 0:56:25I'd like to be an actress, maybe.
0:56:25 > 0:56:27I have an absent father and a domineering mother.
0:56:27 > 0:56:30That's a start.
0:56:30 > 0:56:32When did your dad leave?
0:56:32 > 0:56:34He didn't leave, he was killed.
0:56:36 > 0:56:37He was murdered?
0:56:37 > 0:56:39Hunting accident.
0:56:39 > 0:56:42Completely random.
0:56:42 > 0:56:44So there's no use persevering, Father.
0:56:44 > 0:56:45I'm a lost cause.
0:56:48 > 0:56:50No-one is a lost cause, Veronica.
0:56:53 > 0:56:55HE SNIFFS
0:56:55 > 0:56:56Who is it?
0:56:58 > 0:57:00I don't know who it is.
0:57:03 > 0:57:05You said you did.
0:57:05 > 0:57:07I have no evidence it's the same man.
0:57:07 > 0:57:09It's the same man.
0:57:09 > 0:57:12It takes a lot of nerve to burn down a church.
0:57:13 > 0:57:16It helps if you have a burning sense of grievance,
0:57:16 > 0:57:18if you'll pardon the...
0:57:18 > 0:57:23We have to ask ourselves, "What does this man want?"
0:57:23 > 0:57:27Well, he wants to be loved, of course. We all want to be loved.
0:57:27 > 0:57:32Failing that, he wants to be admired.
0:57:32 > 0:57:35Failing that, he wants to be feared.
0:57:35 > 0:57:39Failing that, he wants to be hated and despised.
0:57:39 > 0:57:41We should beware the man who wants to be hated and despised.
0:57:41 > 0:57:43Don't you think?
0:57:45 > 0:57:48I think you read that in a book, Your Excellency.
0:57:51 > 0:57:54I think he wants to stir up some sort of feelings in others.
0:57:54 > 0:57:56That's true.
0:57:56 > 0:58:00He doesn't want to be ignored any more.
0:58:00 > 0:58:03He wants to make contact.
0:58:03 > 0:58:05He made contact, all right.
0:58:07 > 0:58:09Who is it?
0:58:12 > 0:58:14HE SIGHS
0:58:16 > 0:58:17Dreadful business, I must say.
0:58:17 > 0:58:20Some little blaggard running riot, I wouldn't wonder.
0:58:20 > 0:58:22What can you do in this day and age?
0:58:22 > 0:58:23True, that.
0:58:23 > 0:58:25Thanks. Goodbye.
0:58:25 > 0:58:28- PHONE BELL CHIMES - Sorry about the other day, Father.
0:58:28 > 0:58:31That was the drink talking.
0:58:31 > 0:58:32What can we do for you?
0:58:32 > 0:58:34Well, it's off the back of what I was saying,
0:58:34 > 0:58:37and it seems more necessary now than ever -
0:58:37 > 0:58:39I'd like to make a donation.
0:58:39 > 0:58:43Oh, that'd be grand.
0:58:43 > 0:58:45To salve your conscience?
0:58:45 > 0:58:47Well, surely that's in the nature of all philanthropy -
0:58:47 > 0:58:49the expiation of guilt.
0:58:49 > 0:58:54I'm sure you've nothing major to feel guilty about, Mr Fitzgerald.
0:58:54 > 0:58:56Well, you'd be surprised, Father.
0:58:56 > 0:58:57Call me Michael.
0:58:59 > 0:59:01Michael it is.
0:59:01 > 0:59:03Any charity is always gratefully received.
0:59:03 > 0:59:04I know.
0:59:04 > 0:59:07I believe that's Church doctrine,
0:59:07 > 0:59:10and we all know the Church needs all the help it can get,
0:59:10 > 0:59:12especially these days.
0:59:12 > 0:59:13Why would you say that?
0:59:13 > 0:59:15Well, with all the compensation that's been paid out
0:59:15 > 0:59:17over the last few years.
0:59:19 > 0:59:22And that's only the Yanks, and we all know they weren't the worst.
0:59:22 > 0:59:24I don't know about that, now.
0:59:24 > 0:59:27Most of those cases were 40 or 50 years ago.
0:59:27 > 0:59:30Raking up old ground, it always seemed to me.
0:59:30 > 0:59:34- Time to forgive and forget. - I agree. I agree.
0:59:34 > 0:59:38What's past is past. Time to move on.
0:59:38 > 0:59:39Et cetera, et cetera...
0:59:42 > 0:59:44Would you like a cup of tea, Michael,
0:59:44 > 0:59:46or maybe something stronger?
0:59:46 > 0:59:48Do you have any crystal meth?
0:59:48 > 0:59:50No, no. I can't stop.
0:59:50 > 0:59:54So what are we talking about? Ten? 20?
0:59:54 > 0:59:5720,000?
0:59:57 > 1:00:0020,000 Euros, yeah.
1:00:00 > 1:00:03Well, that would be grand.
1:00:03 > 1:00:05That would help with getting the initial building work
1:00:05 > 1:00:06off the ground.
1:00:06 > 1:00:0820 it is, then.
1:00:08 > 1:00:11This is a David Oscarson pen.
1:00:11 > 1:00:13It's really expensive.
1:00:13 > 1:00:15Oh, it's lovely.
1:00:15 > 1:00:17Why not make it 50?
1:00:17 > 1:00:19Ah, now, Father...
1:00:21 > 1:00:23If money's no object, make it 50.
1:00:26 > 1:00:29Why not make it 100? It means nothing to me.
1:00:30 > 1:00:32I know it doesn't.
1:00:33 > 1:00:37100,000 Euros for your pet project, Father. What do you say to that?
1:00:37 > 1:00:39I say, "Thank you, Mr Fitzgerald."
1:00:41 > 1:00:44What was Stanton getting at?
1:00:44 > 1:00:47If I could tell you, I would. You know that.
1:00:47 > 1:00:50I thought I was the one who's supposed to be in trouble, not you.
1:00:52 > 1:00:55How's the fish?
1:00:55 > 1:00:56Too many little bones.
1:00:56 > 1:00:58Isn't that always the way?
1:00:58 > 1:01:00I'm not stopping.
1:01:00 > 1:01:02Meeting the fella.
1:01:02 > 1:01:05You're informing me of your adultery in advance.
1:01:05 > 1:01:08Isn't that more honest than in the confessional,
1:01:08 > 1:01:11when it's all done and dusted, and there's nothing you can do about it?
1:01:11 > 1:01:12What are you expecting him to do about it?
1:01:12 > 1:01:14Stop me from committing a mortal sin.
1:01:14 > 1:01:17You have to stop yourself. I can't stop you.
1:01:17 > 1:01:20Then what good are you at all?
1:01:20 > 1:01:22There's my ride, as it were.
1:01:24 > 1:01:26Let's do this again some time.
1:01:30 > 1:01:32BIRDS SQUAWK
1:01:34 > 1:01:38Do you have to put up with that kind of shit on a regular basis?
1:01:38 > 1:01:41There's a lot of it going around, let's put it that way.
1:01:46 > 1:01:49We really should talk, you know.
1:01:49 > 1:01:51Let it all out.
1:01:51 > 1:01:55Like in one of those shit plays at the abbey.
1:01:55 > 1:01:59I don't know what the third-act revelation would be, though.
1:01:59 > 1:02:00Neither do I.
1:02:03 > 1:02:05Your mother dying killed a little something in both of us,
1:02:05 > 1:02:08I know that.
1:02:08 > 1:02:11It was a long goodbye, if ever there was one.
1:02:11 > 1:02:15Sometimes I wish she hadn't have hung on as long as she did.
1:02:15 > 1:02:18She was stubborn, all right.
1:02:18 > 1:02:20Brave too, though.
1:02:20 > 1:02:23I wonder if I'll be as brave when the time comes.
1:02:23 > 1:02:26It wasn't just her dying.
1:02:26 > 1:02:31You were missing in action a long time, before and after,
1:02:31 > 1:02:33when I needed you the most.
1:02:35 > 1:02:37I was never neglectful, I don't think.
1:02:39 > 1:02:41I never hit you or anything.
1:02:41 > 1:02:43There are other forms of violence.
1:02:43 > 1:02:47I know there are! Attempting suicide, for one.
1:02:47 > 1:02:49Jesus! I walked into that one.
1:02:49 > 1:02:51It's not only violence against yourself, either.
1:02:51 > 1:02:53It wasn't intended that way.
1:02:53 > 1:02:55I never meant to hurt you.
1:02:55 > 1:02:59How could it not hurt me? I love you!
1:02:59 > 1:03:01I love you, too.
1:03:01 > 1:03:03Don't ever doubt that.
1:03:08 > 1:03:11Here, Dad...
1:03:11 > 1:03:14Dad, just when I thought I had you back,
1:03:14 > 1:03:18and you were ship-shape and raring to go, go you did.
1:03:21 > 1:03:23I thought it would be another woman.
1:03:23 > 1:03:26I have a vocation. I wasn't trying to escape!
1:03:26 > 1:03:28I know that! I know you're sincere.
1:03:30 > 1:03:33But, Dad, the fact remains -
1:03:33 > 1:03:36first Mum went away,
1:03:36 > 1:03:39and then you went away.
1:03:39 > 1:03:42I lost two parents for the price of one.
1:03:45 > 1:03:48I never went anywhere. I stayed here.
1:03:48 > 1:03:50I think you're being a bit naive, there, Father.
1:03:50 > 1:03:52I'm still here.
1:03:52 > 1:03:54I'll always be here.
1:03:57 > 1:03:58Will you?
1:03:59 > 1:04:01You promise?
1:04:05 > 1:04:07I'll always be here,
1:04:07 > 1:04:09and you'll always be here.
1:04:13 > 1:04:15SHE SOBS
1:04:22 > 1:04:24How was that for a third-act revelation?
1:04:24 > 1:04:28Yeah, it's corny...
1:04:28 > 1:04:29but I like it.
1:04:36 > 1:04:38PILLS RATTLE
1:04:40 > 1:04:41Here.
1:04:50 > 1:04:53Here's to mud in your eye!
1:04:53 > 1:04:55HE SLURPS
1:04:55 > 1:04:57Great stuff!
1:04:58 > 1:05:00HEAVY BREATHING
1:05:02 > 1:05:08You know how you can tell when you're really getting old?
1:05:08 > 1:05:09How?
1:05:09 > 1:05:15No-one ever says the word "death" around you any more.
1:05:19 > 1:05:24Bruno! Bruno!
1:05:24 > 1:05:26HE WHISTLES
1:05:39 > 1:05:41Oh, Bruno!
1:05:43 > 1:05:46What has he done to Bruno?
1:05:46 > 1:05:48HE SOBS
1:06:06 > 1:06:09Oh, I forgot to say goodbye to Bruno!
1:06:09 > 1:06:12- I'll give him a big kiss from you. - Oh, do!
1:06:12 > 1:06:15- I'll be fine from here. - Will you?
1:06:16 > 1:06:19Well, let's just say today I'm fine.
1:06:19 > 1:06:20So you say.
1:06:47 > 1:06:50Hello! Where are you off to?
1:06:50 > 1:06:51The beach.
1:06:51 > 1:06:54- It's nice at the beach, isn't it? - Yeah.
1:06:54 > 1:06:55You surf?
1:06:55 > 1:06:58No, my dad won't let me. Says it's too dangerous.
1:06:58 > 1:07:01What does he know? Big meany!
1:07:03 > 1:07:05You're here on holidays?
1:07:05 > 1:07:07- Where are you from? Wicklow! - Yeah.
1:07:07 > 1:07:09Never mind. We won't hold it against you.
1:07:09 > 1:07:13Jeanine! Get in the car.
1:07:15 > 1:07:17- What were you saying to her? - I wasn't saying anything to her.
1:07:17 > 1:07:20Oh, really? You looked deep in fucking conversation to me.
1:07:24 > 1:07:26Where the hell did you get to, honey?
1:07:26 > 1:07:28I've been looking all over for you.
1:07:40 > 1:07:41Large one.
1:07:44 > 1:07:45You sure about that?
1:07:45 > 1:07:46Whiskey, I said.
1:07:52 > 1:07:55Who burnt down your church, Father? If you don't mind me asking.
1:07:55 > 1:07:57It's not my church.
1:07:58 > 1:08:01- It's our church. - I'd say it was the Romanians.
1:08:01 > 1:08:04They're awful heathens. The Romanians.
1:08:05 > 1:08:07What Romanians do we have around here?
1:08:07 > 1:08:10They're always hanging around. Romanians.
1:08:11 > 1:08:12Getting up to no good.
1:08:12 > 1:08:15Must be someone who doesn't like you, Father.
1:08:15 > 1:08:18I think it must be one of the good people in this town.
1:08:18 > 1:08:23You should join the Garda, Simon. With your powers of deduction.
1:08:34 > 1:08:36These measures, huh, Father?
1:08:36 > 1:08:38Like a buttercup in the mouth of a cow.
1:08:40 > 1:08:42Pint there, please, Brendan.
1:08:44 > 1:08:47So you're sure there's a God then, Father, yeah?
1:08:53 > 1:08:55I'm not kidding.
1:08:56 > 1:08:57I'm being serious.
1:08:57 > 1:09:00I'm asking because I'm having doubts myself, like.
1:09:02 > 1:09:03I'm having a crisis of faith.
1:09:06 > 1:09:07BARMAN CHUCKLES
1:09:07 > 1:09:09Ah, don't be getting offended.
1:09:09 > 1:09:11Fa...
1:09:11 > 1:09:14I'm sorry! Really I am!
1:09:14 > 1:09:16As sure as there's a hole in the...
1:09:16 > 1:09:18Don't be going away mad!
1:09:22 > 1:09:24I'm an awful messer.
1:09:29 > 1:09:31Hey, Father! What do you hear? What do you say?
1:09:31 > 1:09:33You're back, so?
1:09:33 > 1:09:35I've got a lot of clients in this town, Father.
1:09:35 > 1:09:37From the Hoi polloi to the masses of society.
1:09:37 > 1:09:40I've got to keep my ass lubricated at all times.
1:09:42 > 1:09:45The Hoi polloi ARE the masses of society.
1:09:45 > 1:09:47You're using the phrase incorrectly.
1:09:47 > 1:09:50You know that may be so, Father. I didn't get no education, see?
1:09:50 > 1:09:54I was getting fucked in the ass and fucked in the face all the livelong day.
1:09:54 > 1:09:56Wasn't no time for any of that there book learning.
1:09:56 > 1:10:01I was sucking the prick of a bishop and his bishop prick on a regular basis, you get me?
1:10:01 > 1:10:04How do you like that play on words, smart ass?
1:10:04 > 1:10:06You need help.
1:10:06 > 1:10:09You're starting to sound a little screwy.
1:10:09 > 1:10:11Now, Father, Maybe you need to see a head-shrinker yourself.
1:10:11 > 1:10:13Do you need help? Are you OK?
1:10:13 > 1:10:16Hey! Father...
1:10:16 > 1:10:19There's nothing wrong with me, Father. All right?
1:10:21 > 1:10:23Feeling fine.
1:10:32 > 1:10:33You know...
1:10:34 > 1:10:38..when I first started out working up in Dublin,
1:10:38 > 1:10:40there was this three-year-old boy.
1:10:42 > 1:10:45Parents brought him into the hospital. A routine operation, like.
1:10:47 > 1:10:50But the anaesthetist made a mistake.
1:10:51 > 1:10:58Little boy ended up deaf, dumb, blind...
1:10:59 > 1:11:01..and paralysed.
1:11:01 > 1:11:02For good, like.
1:11:05 > 1:11:06Think of it!
1:11:07 > 1:11:10Think when that little boy first regained consciousness.
1:11:12 > 1:11:15In the dark. You'd be frightened, wouldn't you?
1:11:17 > 1:11:19You'd be frightened
1:11:19 > 1:11:22in the kind of a way that you know that the fear is going to end.
1:11:24 > 1:11:25Has to.
1:11:27 > 1:11:28Must.
1:11:28 > 1:11:30Your parents couldn't be too far away.
1:11:31 > 1:11:33They'll come to your rescue.
1:11:34 > 1:11:37They'll turn the light on. They'll talk to you.
1:11:39 > 1:11:41But... think of it.
1:11:43 > 1:11:47Nobody comes to rescue you. No light is turned on.
1:11:49 > 1:11:50You are in the dark.
1:11:52 > 1:11:54You try to speak...
1:11:54 > 1:11:56but you can't.
1:11:56 > 1:11:59You try to move...
1:11:59 > 1:12:01but you can't.
1:12:01 > 1:12:04You try to cry out...
1:12:04 > 1:12:07but you are unable to hear your own screams.
1:12:08 > 1:12:11You are entombed within your own body.
1:12:12 > 1:12:15Howling with terror.
1:12:24 > 1:12:26What the fuck?
1:12:27 > 1:12:30Why the fuck would you tell me a story like that?
1:12:32 > 1:12:33No reason.
1:12:43 > 1:12:45Some people are awfully touchy.
1:12:47 > 1:12:48Good luck, now!

1:13:41 > 1:13:43Time to go, I said.
1:13:45 > 1:13:46Is that an order?
1:13:46 > 1:13:49You don't like taking orders, Father?
1:13:49 > 1:13:51You do not mind giving them.
1:13:51 > 1:13:53These kinds are all alike.
1:13:53 > 1:13:58- My "kind".- Yeah, your "kind".
1:13:58 > 1:14:00Your time is gone and you don't even fucking realise it.
1:14:00 > 1:14:02My time will never be gone.
1:14:02 > 1:14:05Did you hear that? The arrogance of the man.
1:14:05 > 1:14:07You need to be a little more humble, Father.
1:14:07 > 1:14:11Needs to be taken down a peg or two. That's what he needs.
1:14:17 > 1:14:19Take me down, then.

1:15:04 > 1:15:06So what if he's a fucking Buddhist?
1:15:06 > 1:15:08You think Buddhists don't beat people up?
1:15:08 > 1:15:11You think Buddhists don't fuck their kids like everyone else?
1:15:11 > 1:15:13You're obviously very upset!
1:15:13 > 1:15:15Tibetans spit on blind people in the street!
1:15:15 > 1:15:17They're killing albinos in Africa!
1:15:17 > 1:15:20- You're so fucking naive. - Please don't curse at me, Father!
1:15:20 > 1:15:23I think It would be best to continue this conversation in the morning, sober.
1:15:23 > 1:15:26Why are you a fucking priest at all?

1:16:24 > 1:16:26Because of a lot of things.
1:16:27 > 1:16:30Not just last night. Or what's happened here.
1:16:33 > 1:16:36I've been having doubts, if you must know.
1:16:36 > 1:16:38Listen, I'm sorry about what I said last night.
1:16:38 > 1:16:41You said what you said with such venom!
1:16:41 > 1:16:44- I didn't realise you hated me that much.- I don't hate you at all.
1:16:44 > 1:16:46Then why?
1:16:46 > 1:16:48It's just you have no integrity.
1:16:48 > 1:16:51That's the worst I could say about anybody.
1:16:51 > 1:16:53HE SCOFFS
1:16:53 > 1:16:55Well, that's...

1:18:10 > 1:18:12You're going to Dublin?
1:18:14 > 1:18:15Yeah.
1:18:17 > 1:18:20Just getting away for a while, you know?
1:18:21 > 1:18:24I heard about your church. Terrible thing.
1:18:25 > 1:18:27Yes.
1:18:27 > 1:18:29You must be very upset.
1:18:34 > 1:18:35Yes, I am.
1:18:43 > 1:18:44I'm bringing him home.
1:18:45 > 1:18:47To his family in Italy.
1:18:49 > 1:18:52Dublin and then...Rome.
1:18:55 > 1:18:56How have you been?
1:18:56 > 1:18:59People here have been very kind to me.
1:18:59 > 1:19:01No, I mean...
1:19:06 > 1:19:09You know, sometimes I think I cannot go on.

1:21:44 > 1:21:48Dr Hart was out fishing at the crack of dawn.
1:21:48 > 1:21:50He begrudgingly gave me a ride.
1:21:50 > 1:21:51Where are you heading?
1:21:53 > 1:21:56- Just down the beach there. - Can I come along?
1:21:56 > 1:21:58Not really, no.
1:21:58 > 1:22:01- Maybe later?- That's fine, yeah. Don't let me keep you.
1:22:03 > 1:22:07- Did you finish your book?- Yes, I did. I don't know how good it is.
1:22:07 > 1:22:11I'm sure it'll be extraordinary. You're a very fine writer.
1:22:13 > 1:22:15Oh... Thank you, James!
1:22:18 > 1:22:21'You know you changed the subject the other day when we were talking.'
1:22:21 > 1:22:23What was the subject?
1:22:23 > 1:22:25You know what the subject was.
1:22:25 > 1:22:28I think you committed a sin of omission there, truth be told.
1:22:28 > 1:22:31I'm sure there are worse sins than sins of omission.
1:22:31 > 1:22:34I'll let you be the expert in that department, Father.
1:22:34 > 1:22:37I think there's too much talk about sins, to be honest.
1:22:37 > 1:22:40Not enough talk about virtues.
1:22:40 > 1:22:41You might be right.
1:22:44 > 1:22:46What would be your number one?
1:22:46 > 1:22:49I think forgiveness has been highly underrated.
1:22:52 > 1:22:53I forgive you.
1:22:55 > 1:22:57Do you forgive me?
1:22:58 > 1:23:00Always.
1:23:20 > 1:23:24Thinking of throwing yourself in? They say that's the easy way out.
1:23:24 > 1:23:27Nothing easy about it, I wouldn't have thought.
1:23:31 > 1:23:33I'm in a bad way, Father.
1:23:36 > 1:23:37No, I'm not putting you on.
1:23:39 > 1:23:41The truth is I've been in a bad way for...
1:23:43 > 1:23:44..a long time.
1:23:46 > 1:23:49No will to do anything.
1:23:49 > 1:23:53Feeling of nothing being worthwhile...
1:23:53 > 1:23:56A sense of disassociation.
1:23:58 > 1:23:59Detachment.
1:23:59 > 1:24:01I had a wife and kids.
1:24:03 > 1:24:05They meant nothing to me.
1:24:09 > 1:24:11I have money. It means nothing to me.
1:24:13 > 1:24:15I have life...
1:24:17 > 1:24:19..and it means nothing to me.
1:24:24 > 1:24:26Where do you think it comes from?
1:24:26 > 1:24:28The sense of detachment.
1:24:32 > 1:24:34From nowhere.
1:24:37 > 1:24:39From nowhere.
1:24:45 > 1:24:48Listen, I have to meet someone now.
1:24:48 > 1:24:50I'll call up to the house after.
1:24:52 > 1:24:54We'll talk.
1:24:56 > 1:24:59Get you back on track. OK?
1:25:04 > 1:25:06- OK?- Thank you.
1:25:08 > 1:25:10Thank you, Father.
1:25:10 > 1:25:12- Thank you.- Yeah.
1:25:14 > 1:25:16- You all right?- Yeah.
1:26:11 > 1:26:14Take your hands out of your pockets. Slowly.
1:26:14 > 1:26:16Why?
1:26:16 > 1:26:17I heard you had a gun.
1:26:22 > 1:26:24I have to say I'm surprised.
1:26:24 > 1:26:26- Thought I'd have to go looking for you.- Just cos I'm here
1:26:26 > 1:26:29- doesn't mean you have to go through with it.- Yes, it does!
1:26:31 > 1:26:33It's one of those self-fulfilling prophecies.
1:26:35 > 1:26:37Did you ever think it would come to this, though, huh?
1:26:37 > 1:26:40I was hoping it wouldn't. I thought you were a friend of mine.
1:26:40 > 1:26:43Sure, a friend is just an enemy you haven't made yet.
1:26:44 > 1:26:47- Cheap cynicism. - Not cheap, now, no.
1:26:48 > 1:26:52It's a cynicism that's been hard won!
1:26:52 > 1:26:54It's a cynicism that's been earned...
1:26:54 > 1:26:57after a hell of a lot of physical and psychological torture.
1:26:58 > 1:27:01I take it back, then. But it's cynicism nonetheless.
1:27:03 > 1:27:05Maybe that's the difference between us.
1:27:05 > 1:27:06Oh, that's not the only difference.
1:27:09 > 1:27:10Any regrets?
1:27:10 > 1:27:14I have, yeah! Never got to finish Moby Dick.
1:27:14 > 1:27:16- The whale kills Ahab. - Is that right?
1:27:16 > 1:27:18Then he destroys the rest of the ship and the crew along with it.
1:27:20 > 1:27:21All except for Ishmael.
1:27:22 > 1:27:25He alone escapes. To tell thee.
1:27:29 > 1:27:31The burning of the church I can understand.
1:27:34 > 1:27:36You didn't have to kill my dog.
1:27:37 > 1:27:40I didn't kill your dog. I love dogs. Why would I do a thing like that?
1:27:40 > 1:27:42I found him with his throat cut.
1:27:42 > 1:27:45Why would I fucking kill a dog? I didn't...!
1:27:45 > 1:27:46That was nothing to do with me.
1:27:48 > 1:27:49I'm wholly innocent of that crime.
1:27:54 > 1:27:57I did give Veronica a bit of a shove that one time, though.
1:27:57 > 1:28:00I do admit that and I'm sorry for it.
1:28:05 > 1:28:07Did it upset you, the dog?
1:28:07 > 1:28:09Yes, it did.
1:28:09 > 1:28:11Did you cry?
1:28:11 > 1:28:12Yes, I did.
1:28:12 > 1:28:14That's nice.
1:28:16 > 1:28:19And when you read what your fellow priests
1:28:19 > 1:28:22did to all those poor children down all those years, did you cry then?
1:28:26 > 1:28:28I asked you a question - did you cry then?
1:28:30 > 1:28:31No.
1:28:31 > 1:28:33That's right!
1:28:35 > 1:28:38- I suppose...- What?
1:28:41 > 1:28:43- I suppose I felt detachment. - Yeah.
