All language subtitles for The Courier (1988)

Ellen McKenna said she wants to see
dinner, and she

wants to talk to the day.

She said she's prepared some standard
fare,

but she'll surprise us in the end. And
don't you

know that she's imitating.

Having a part for me.

Inching closer and closer to the number
one spot on the Irish chart, Dublin's

very own Lord John Weiss.

Kill the one you love.

How's the little fella?

He's inside. He's getting ready for
school.

Ah, that's great. I'll take him over in
a few minutes.

Plenty of time.

How are you yourself, though?

I'm all right.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Thanks, Dad.

Now, you'll look after yourself, won't
you?

Yeah.

Promise me now.

Okay, Serge.

What about you, Danny?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Good.

Good.

Carol, I'm stuck in Harcourt Street.

Good.

Then you can collect a package for
number 30.

Who's collecting them?

The sister.

I'll get that over to Cabo when she
does.

Hello, D -Day.

here. They don't keep them here.

Come on, come on. Hurry up.

You see, he's cracking up. He's going to
shoot you.

for the manager.

What the black man found?

A black man?

Well, do you remember Batman and Robin?

That's what it's like.

Like, do you remember the time that
Batman came over to Robin's house and

two of them went up in the Batmobile?

Do you remember?

Mark.

God, I haven't seen you in years.

No, you look great.

But he is.

I thought you'd left, gone away.

No, still here.

Look at you, working in a bank.

Yeah, I know.

You're not the manager, are you? That's
right, you'd be joking.

How are you, really?

I'm fine.

Yeah?

Yeah, I'm great.

Shall we go for a drink, sweetie?

Sure. What time do you knock off at?

Today? Three o 'clock.

I need Danny in town.

Can we make it four o 'clock?

Yeah, sure.

Mark.

I'll take that.

Getting a bit forgetful?

It won't be four o 'clock.

It won't.

Here. Here.

I can make a deal with you.

No.

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

It's all for November Oscar. November
Oscar.

Not the right take here. Our Valentine.

Every intelligent man dreams of being a
gangster.

You think these people are intelligent?

Of course.

The same man says power settles
everything.

It's all a question of power.

Look, I've got two visa cards.

No, I told you I don't want to know.

Oh, Mr. McGuigan.

How's it going?

Doing business, Bob.

Well, just about.

You know how it is.

Taking a lot of interest in the local
youth lately, Bob.

Taking kids to school.

I care about those kids, McGuigan.

You may not believe this, but you just
ask anyone around here.

Ask their teachers.

They'll tell you. Little boys now, Bob,
is it?

Get that stuff started. No, don't.

You know what I'm talking about, don't
you, Alfie?

It's consciousness.

Total consciousness.

You go in with your shooter, right? Your
mind's expanded.

Like a four -eyed, four -eared, totally
alert cop.

Split -second decisions.

It's brilliant. It's beautiful.

It's like a woman.

Like 75, right?

Much better than that crap you jack into
yourself.

Robbers always live well. Junkies,
junkies live like shit.

You know that, Alfie.

Or you even told me, darling.

A robber will put a house over your
head.

A junkie will sell every stick of
furniture you own.

You ought to do more stroking, then.

I'm telling you.

Cut this stuff out.

Maybe.

Here's your prezzie from Uncle Dal.

Uncle Val?

They're junkies, pal.

There he is.

Sorry, Christy.

You've got a good one there, Danny.

Think about it.

I'm telling you.

Doing banks.

It's much... It's much better.

Different strokes, Christy.

See you, Danny.

Hey, hey, hey!

Be careful out there.

I won't be out there.

This is what I got dressed up for.

Do you want to go for a drink?

Yeah.

We're going to Duggan's hotel.

You must be joking. No.

Duggan's.

Jesus, I've been in there for years.

Come on.

For old time's sake.

Let's see what it's like now.

See that chair over there?

It's on the English. Walk me up on that
chair.

And I've let him. Sorry, boy, Johnny.

God, Danny and yous are all here.

I always wanted to take someone
upstairs.

I fancied you even then.

I thought we'd been babies once and been
Danny's big sister.

Sometimes when we'd be down in your
house supposed to be studying, be in

bedroom.

And I loved it.

Just looking at your clothes and your
makeup.

You were wanking in my bedroom.

No.

But I hated Johnny.

Johnny doesn't like it after all.

Should have come up to June.

You had acne.

No, I just had a blackhead.

I want a cigarette.

Go on.

What happened to the spikes?

I grew up.

What's it like in the bank?

It's pretty boring, really.

I always wanted to leave.

Why didn't you?

I was going to.

Then things got really bad with Danny. I
wasn't on to go.

I never thought you'd stay living at
home.

I really envied you when your father
died.

You were free. You could have done
anything.

So the house left.

Why didn't you?

Don't know.

You could.

Danny always said you'd stop using
because you wanted something better.

Right now I just want a beer.

Oh, really?

What do you want?

I want one part of life that's no lies.

No cover -ups.

That's what I want.

Say what you mean.

No, you don't. Yes, I do.

I'm a bog man, Danny. I like those old
songs.

You strung out, Danny.

I'll sort that out for you.

I'll sort out a methadone program.

These charges... I prefer to draw people
out, Dan.

Yeah.

I'd like to see Val more... more out in
the open.

It's a trade.

Val's trading the jewels for smack.

Some people are into banks one day,
jewels the next, smack the next.

Val just wants to be into smack.

Everywhere?

No.

Just his side of town.

Just to come and think.

Thanks a lot, man.

Pop video.

Yeah. New YouTube.

They've got chicks.

Keep calling if you take us to a gig.

Thanks.

You went to race?

Yeah.

Cool.

You're on.

You're back very early.

I came off the bike. What?

What are you delivering? The package?

Here.

Your time is wasted.

My sister.

There you go, kid.

Thanks.

Looking very cool.

Oh, really? It's nice.

Well, I like it.

So how are the folks?

They're OK.

Good to see you.

It's funny.

It's hard, isn't it?

You're still using.

Look, do I ask you what you're doing?

By who you're screwing?

What's happening to you?

I don't know.

Try a program, Danny.

Try something.

Mark today?

Yeah.

How is he?

He looks great.

Still into the bikes.

He's okay, Danny.

Why don't you stay outside for two days?

Yeah. Well, you could try doing it up,
you know.

It could work for a living.

Must be a joke.

Come on.

I'll show you the roof.

Well, what do you think, Christy?

It's pretty impressive.

It is, isn't it?

Yeah.

I really love it up here.

It's so... so quiet, you know?

People never imagine you're up here.

They never look up. Never.

You could mount a machine gun up here.

You're fucking crazy.

I don't like being so close to your
friend, Danny.

He's in town and he's looking for
turnouts.

I gave him the gear. Did you?

So what did he do with it?

I'll find him.

I know you will.

Don't be so uptight, Christy.

Who is Benny?

He's the same as ever.

He's worse, even.

Yeah.

It's all the news these days, isn't it?

You two used to be like brothers.

What happened?

I stopped using.

It was as if I'd let Danny down.

I thought you got really cold.

You never asked about him.

I wanted to get to know you again.

Just us as we are now.

Without Darnie?

Yeah.

Now take us over to the new Gaff,
Christy.

How's it going, Bob?

Tony, how's it going?

Come on, now.

Tell us.

How much is in the packet?

Thousands. Thousands?

Have you got your fingers? No way. The
money's got to be hard.

Why? Does your bank send money around
like that?

No.

In a way, I shouldn't be telling you.
Oh, come on.

I like you, Tony.

In you go, Benny.

Now there's your... See, we're in the
middle of a mess here. Never mind. Take

it, Bill.

Christy's become a deserted father.

You see, we keep his name on the rent
bill.

We do the flat -out.

And then we rent it out to a needy
family.

It's nice.

It's nice, isn't it?

You've been talking to the filth,
haven't you, Danny?

No, I haven't, pal. I swear.

You know I don't like that.

I wasn't, pal. I swear. Honest.

Christy.

You let me down, Danny.

Look, I didn't say nothing to them, pal.
I swear.

Honest. You sure?

Yeah, I swear. Look, you know me, pal. I
wouldn't say anything.

Honest. I swear.

Okay.

Please, pal.

How's it going?

OK.

Bit of a blast in the past, isn't it?

How's it go?

It will soon.

It's vintage.

That's the old wreck that used to be
lying out there.

It has.

Yeah.

I believe in knocking around with
Colette these days.

News travels fast.

Oh, is she?

She's great.

She's fine.

Do you want some tea?

Yeah, I'd love some.

I'm not disturbing you.

Colette isn't coming home. No, no.

I like the hair.

Ah, just a change of image.

Didn't work, though.

How do you mean?

Still got busted on a stroking charge.

You getting sent down?

They filled up with no charges on the
legal dope programme if I talked about

Burke. Do you know him?

I've heard him.

Yeah, well, you know, McGuigan and the
DS.

Yeah. McGuigan wanted me to keep
talking.

Val found out.

You're right.

But a light bulb.

Listen, I don't like asking, but is
there any way I could crash here

You've some way of asking.

Do you think I want to?

Do you remember the first real stroke
you pulled?

Jesus, yeah.

The jump over in the post office?

The big time.

50 old -age pension books.

That was when I stopped using.

When you didn't have me to rub for you.

It didn't mean enough to me to snatch
some old posts, miss. You let me down.

I didn't let you down, Danny.

I couldn't be you.

I never asked you to be.

Look, I'm blind, Mac.

Blinded.

Look, it's not okay. These guys are
animals.

They're animals.

Thanks a million, man. Hey, stay in
touch.

I might have some work on.

What sort of work?

On the bikes.

Listen, I'll see you.

Places to go.

Danny, don't give me this. Places to go.
Okay.

I said I'd be in touch.

I'll see you, Danny.

Carl, I'm taking a lunch break.

Go ahead.

Okay.

Hello. Hello, sunshine.

How are you doing?

Glad. What's this with the flowers?

Do you like them?

Yeah, they're beautiful.

Listen, what's your bank like for loans?

What for?

A business.

You need capital.

The house is capital.

Are you serious?

About the courier company?

Yeah.

When I'm ready.

Listen, I have to go back to work.

Okay, I'll see you, love.

I'll call up to you later.

Yeah, bye.

McGuigan here. Request ambulance.

Shut up!

Roger. Request ambulance to Camden
Street.

How long must the young man wait

till he finds...

For rats.

This must bring it all back.

I keep losing people.

Thanks for coming.

Not at all. Anytime.

You know what I mean.

Yeah.

What's McGuigan doing here?

He brought the news.

He knew Tenny for years.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Can you?

Yeah. Come on.

You didn't cry.

What about your father's?

No.

Until afterwards.

Danny came over to the house and got me
pissed.

He kept me up all night talking and
talking until he got me to cry.

Danny did?

Yeah.

What did McQuiggan say about Danny's
eye?

He didn't know.

What?

Harry, what is it?

McQuiggan used them for information.

What?

Danny called here a few nights ago.

Danny was here?

Yeah.

He was gone. We talked a lot.

But you were telling me he was murdered.

No.

McClickin couldn't have known.

He knew what he was doing.

Oh, no.

That bastard even gave me his phone
number to ring him.

Even when he knew it.

I'd like to go down.

Well, there's no one down there.

If you feel you want to... Thank you.

Can I get you a drink or something?

No, I'm fine.

Listen, thank you.

Very much.

Mike. Great body. Great rhythm.

There's a lot of everything in here.

Cross -breast, flat chest, genderbender,
bondage, you know what I mean?

Yeah.

I know what you mean. All day, every
day.

24 hours a day.

The video never sleeps. The video never
sleeps.

Three to four, Mark.

Mark, come in, please.

Come in, Mark.

No more work for junkies.

No more.

If they can't do the time, they don't
get a job. That's it.

Right?

I mean that, Christie.

Danny killed himself.

He should have known better.

It's called an automatic, Christie.

So was an M -16.

We've all the equipment.

Bench press, lateral raise, and military
stances.

Do you not have any of those?

Here,

Christy.

Give me back a rope, will you?

Come on, give me back a rope.

I'm not going to let you know, you know.

I do a great pair of hands, Christy.

What's wrong with you?

Come on.

Same as the cootie. A bit of a change,
you know. My name's Owen.

Peter. Great to meet you, Peter. Come on
up to the office.

I got recommended you.

That's right.

I want a shooter.

Pardon?

Oh, you told Dad for Chris.

There's no Chrisie walking here.

There's a lot of fuzz back here. Tell
me.

I told you, I'm looking for a shooter.

Do I know you?

I've got a chick.

Walking in a bank.

Where are you from?

I'm strung out, right?

Okay.

Really nice, clean job.

Good cuts.

I'll be back tomorrow.

Danny taught me a trick or two.

Always check the back door.

Very nice.

For a girl who works in a bank.

You got glasses?

What's up?

Nothing.

I don't feel too good.

I'm thinking of selling the house.

I'm thinking of leaving.

When? As soon as possible.

I want you to come with me.

I'm not ready yet, Mark.

I've never decided like that.

Look, we can just go. No!

Not yet.

God, it's not simple as that.

It can be. I just want everything to be
normal, Mark. Just for a while.

Just back to normal.

I need that.

It's not that I don't want to.

You make a lot of money this morning
looking after your affairs.

But this affair is not the other time.

It's also time to make a venture.

Time to tell somebody something's
pregnant.

Well, this is all.

This isn't granny bashing.

Or sticking your fingers in this hill.

All you know is the chick.

What chick?

Tell her.

On the counter?

Yeah.

Let's go and have a butcher's.

That one, the National Journal.

You can drop a ton in there for
starters.

I wouldn't just take them.

Put your balls out for those citizens of
it.

You remember that?

Yeah, it's queer.

Wages, eh?

Yeah.

Okay. Let's go on.

I hope he fixes the truck.

You got two cards.

24 hours and you pay half the take to
newspapers, please.

Half the take?

Look, who are you?

You're nobody.

I'm risking a good shoe to run you.

Okay.

I could do it myself.

I said okay.

Jesus. All you junkies are the same.

Go on.

I'll help you.

Hey, hey, hey.

What? What do you call a junkie in a
suit?

What? You're cute.

Collection.

How's it going?

Nice view.

Yeah.

It gets better the higher up you go.

Give me the broke squad.

Fast.

Cheers, sir.

Stay on top, man.

Screw me, Val.

I told you.

It's good stuff. It's the best smack in
Dublin.

Somebody just screw me.

Okay, John, let's go.

Return package.

On the desk.

That was Carol.

She's okay.

Jesus, McGuigan, do you ever stop?

Still in business, Val?

Yeah. I'm thinking of expanding the
business. I'm examining the feasibility

opening somewhere else.

Who knows always good business, you
know, Val?

You're harassing me, McGuigan.

Tear this place apart.

Oh, that's lovely.

Oh, that's great, yeah.

Go on.

Tear it up.

Val's video. What do you think of that,
McGuigan?

You're slipping up, Val.

I thought you were a better rat catcher
too, Bob, you know? You know something?

I'm putting in a complaint about you.

People just keep telling me things, you
know?

Yeah. I bet you're hearing voices,
aren't you?

Leave that alone, you.

Just get out his address.

He's been a bold boy.

42 Belcare Road.

Just write it down, Luz.

Why? Can you read?

Nice to work for, is she?

Nicer than some.

Or I could like them, point out what he
wants.

Don't be brilliant.

He's a funny way of showing it, hasn't
he?

He sent back the smack.

I thought the trade went okay.

So did I, so it seemed. These people are
funny. Now you get out of here and you

find him.

Something funny.

I just couldn't think.

I don't know.

I'm sorry I let you down.

It's all right.

Don't worry about it.

Okay?

There's the best part of 15 ,000 pounds
here.

Somebody's trying to set me up.

I hope so.

Is it Burke?

I don't know.

Val was a worried man when I arrived.

Val?

That's a bit familiar, isn't it?

Don't cheapen yourself.

Careful you don't.

You're losing touch.

Is that all?

For the time being, yes.

Take care of that, will you?

Hello?

Jesus. What's happening?

Come on!

No! Come on!

Get a helmet.

Grab my bag.

How's it going?

Good.

Good.

Get in.

What right had you?

He was my brother.

They killed him.

I had Danny Dragon help me long enough.

Why?

How do you stop knowing?

How?

You think you're Clint Eastwood?

Dirty Harry here with his shotgun.

I'm going to the police. No.

They think you're different from them.

Do you?

So what happened to you? I got sent to a
school.

And what did they do to you there?

No.

No.

I know they must have done something to
you.

No.

They made you do things.

I know.

It's Sharon.

It's on all the stations.

Mark, the police are looking for you.

They want help.

Sharon was warning you.

This is where it all started.

In the jacks downstairs.

Shooting dope and getting the last bus
home.

McGuigan, this is Colette Adams.

Where are you?

Are you all right?

McGuigan?

Yeah.

Hello, McGuigan.

Mark, are you all right? I've been round
to your house.

Yeah.

How's Sharon?

The girl? Oh, she's fine. She's going to
be all right.

That leather gear you... Guys wear
something special.

That was meant to be me.

She's lucky. You are too, Mark.

Danny wasn't lucky, McQuiggan.

You killed him.

Criminals did, Mark.

Criminals killed him.

You knew what you were doing.

Mark, we can talk this over. We can sort
it all out, you know?

Saw you on the telly a while ago,
McGuigan.

Talking about ordinary, decent people
needing protection.

You're a real action man, aren't you,
McGuigan?

You've got it worked out.

Val has too.

These people aren't ever made out to be,
Mark.

What are we doing here?

McGuigan, huh?

Mark.

Yeah From Christy Just let me know we
are I'll come over. We'll sort

things out. How about that?

We're in a hotel lettering

Tommy

Give some of these young fellas half a
chance to turn queer on you.

Neighbours young fella.

I thought he was going to be all that.

I've had the question.

Shit.

Tony?

Tony! Come on.

Right, can't just close.

Come on.

You give this mad dog a shooter. Don't.
Just blow it, Val.

Right.

He's not part of anything.

He's an outsider.

And you know?

Yeah.

Good.

Good.

I stood in that toilet, McGuigan.

And so did I.

You put Danny there.

Okay, okay, you finally said it. And
that's what your boyfriend thinks.

So now you want me to put you in the
fire and then as well?

It's a chance to draw them out.

Where is this bike?

Same street.

I got that.

you want.

But whatever it is, you've got it.

Right?

You're the woman to go.

You've got it. You're it.

You're it, pal.

Now listen, kid, we'd all like to live
in a nice, clean ward. But it's not

Come here, kid.

Come here.

I'm strung out, pal.

Now listen, I can get you some...

On this.

I've got to do it. Now, come on, kid.
I'm warning you.

Out! Out of the balcony!

Out! Out!

Now, please.

Don't push me. Go on! Don't push me. Go
on! Please.

Don't push me.

Go on!

Out of here.

Are you frightened?

Are you?

Go on.

Go on.

Pull the trigger, you bastard. You
little bastard. Pull the fucking

Where did you have to stick your face?

cartridges, Val.

Gun! No!

We've come about the house.

We can call back.

No, no.

Come on in. Look around.

How much are you looking for?

How much have you got?

Well, I suppose we could stretch to
about...

Well, I... Great.

Pardon?

Fine.

Whatever you can stretch to.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

I still can't believe I nearly killed
her.

You were somebody else out there.

So, what do you think?

About leaving?

Yeah.

I think we stick together.
