Original subtitles

Yeah.

Heat.

[Music]

Why did you leave those kids on their

own?

I've made a statement to the police. I

know that, but why? I need to know.

I've got rather a lot of marking to do.

Well, there's three you needn't bother

with.

A fell from the gazette turned up.

I played it all down like you're

supposed to, you know. Said I only did

what anyone would have done.

But it's always there, isn't it? In the

back of your mind, no matter what's

happened, no matter how many's dead.

Yeah. I'm a bloody hero.

But all of a sudden, I'm not a bloody

hero anymore, am I? I'm the cause of it

all. And that's not on.

Why did you leave those kids on their

own?

Please,

I'm having an affair with someone.

Chef. Yes.

And

John followed me and caught me with him.

[Applause]

He knew. Yes. So you didn't try to hide

it? Not particularly. No.

I honestly don't know what hurts more.

Three kids dead or my wife and that man.

Lucy Arch's been telling all kinds of

lies about me. He's got a bit of clout

with that old fella. I want you to do I

want him to get the truth out that line

bit. It's nothing to do with me. It's

got plenty to do with you.

You're carrying on with Mrs. Par's wife,

right? Yeah.

Yeah. Well, the husband caught you at

it. Yeah, son. He left the kids on their

own. Four sloped off. Three drowned.

I'm not to blame for that, Bollocks.

The burn inquest. It'll all come out.

I'll make sure it all comes out cuz I'm

not taking the blame for this. Right.

So,

You're married.

[Music]

Ruth.

Ruth. Yeah.

I like screwing other men's wives,

Danny. Other men's girlfriends. Well,

you'd be safe up to now. I've only ever

seen you with slags. Well, and a local

girl. But a local girl with a bit of

sense, so naturally that didn't last

long. But you cop off with anything

decent.

I'll be there sniffing around.

Who have I been screwing for the last

few months?

Would you like a cup of tea? Who have I

been screwing?

Mrs. Par, the headm's wife. Would you

like a cup of tea? No thanks.

Extracurricular activity, I think it's

called.

This is Wordssworth country, Danny.

Millions of people come here all looking

for a bit of nature.

They clog up our roads. They stomp all

over our fells. They pack our bars. They

buy up our houses. All the hotels and

restaurants spring up. But the mines,

the quaries close down, the farms get

turned into time share complexes.

So for people like me, Danny,

local people like me,

there's nothing else to do but look

after this urban filth. We get to depend

on this urban filth.

So, okay, they come here looking for

nature. Well, I give them a bit of

nature.

I give their wives and their girlfriends

a bit of nature.

One of the tourists, I mean, any

outsiders

like you, the urban filth like you.

Nobody local.

If they're local, they're safe.

I just thought you'd like to know that

the school's open tomorrow as normal,

despite everything that's happened.

Thanks.

I'll pass that on. Bye. Bye.

Having an affair. Sorry. You said having

an affair, not I had an affair. Having

an affair. Present tense. Ongoing. Yes.

So, it's not over.

Simone Par here. Mrs. Quail. Oh, I just

thought you'd like to know that the

school's open tomorrow as usual, despite

everything that's happened. Oh, it's

probably the best.

You think you can go on seeing him? Oh,

we think so, too. Bye.

Hello, Simone Par here. Mrs. Quinnland.

[Music]

All right, Danny. What are you doing

now?

Is it true? What's she saying? Lucy,

behave.

You'll get a go when as soon as. Right.

I carry on crying. I'll st it right up

your rectum.

Lucy welcome.

Your daughter's been telling a laser

about me. Go right now. I'm calling the

police. That's right. Right. I'm telling

you this is the last time. I'm calling

the police.

[Music]

Police Archer Goldwater Hotel.

[Music]

Open the door.

This is not a joke. Open the door.

Mr. Mag,

Danny. Hey,

stay away from Lucy.

She's telling a pack of lies about me.

Stay away from her.

You've got 120 quid waiting for you at

the bouquet.

We searched the boat house. Found your

account.

Next question, Danny, is how can you

afford it? How can you afford to leave

money like that just lying there? Pass.

Are you on the fiddle? No.

It's all cash, is it? Must be very

tempting. Let people on the boat and

just slap the cash. Kids even. Just let

him on. Slot it.

I'm not on the fiddle.

And I didn't let those kids out on that

boat.

Right.

Stay away from Lucy.

Hardest part of the whole uh program is

not remembering the question. He says

you're a liar.

He's a liar. Is he?

Will I have to give evidence?

Well, the example of lip fighting

himself when he's quite nervous

something like this. Must

be the worst thing.

I know a millionaire

who's burdened down with care.

A load is on his mind.

He's thinking of the day

when he must pass away.

and leave his wealth behind.

[Music]

I haven't any gold

to leave when I grow old.

Somehow it passed me by.

I'm very poor, but still.

I'll leave a precious will

when I must say goodbye.

I'll leave the sunshine

to the flowers.

I'll leave the springtime

to the trees.

And to the old folks,

I'll leave the memories

of a baby upon their knees.

I'll leave the nighttime to the

dreamers.

I'll leave the songirds to the blind.

I'll leave the moon above

to those in love.

When I leave the world behind.

When I leave the world

behind.

Come on. Don't come on.

I'm not going to insult Arthur and

Sheila by mouthing platitudes about the

love of God,

about poor Paul are being safe in the

arms of God

because God seemed to take precious

little care of her the day she died.

The love of God was strangely absent

that day.

But it's here now.

It's the love of your neighbor and your

friend.

That's the love of God.

I am the resurrection and the life. He

who believes in me, even if he dies,

shall live. And whoever lives and

believes in me shall never die.

[Music]

I prayed. Let it be someone else's

child.

And my prayer was answered.

You walked straight past me.

And I turned to see where you were

going.

And you were going towards my sister.

It was my sister's child.

Do you know what I thought?

No.

Better hers than mine.

If that's the deal, that's the deal.

Thank you, God.

Better hers than mine.

No one can blame you for that.

No.

Yeah, she's upstairs now getting ready.

She shaved her legs.

She tried to hide the fact, cleaned out

the bath, but I checked,

found a little bit of stubble,

so her legs will be all smooth

for him.

She's um she's putting on her underwear.

She's got these um

these knickers. I don't know what

they're called, but they um they hang

loosely from her hips.

They look so sexy. And you know why they

look so sexy? Because you know that the

slightest little tug and they'll be down

and he'll tug them and they'll fall.

They'll fall all the way down around her

ankles because her legs are so smooth

and then she'll step out of them

and they'll do it.

[Music]

Let me in in a minute. Now,

I'd like to come in right now. This is

my house and I'd like to come in right

now.

God's sake.

The assertiveness course is working

then.

I've been too soft with you, modern man.

Sensitive, caring.

But you don't want modern man. You want

neander man. Well, okay. You can argue.

This is my house. You're not here

because of the job I do. How do you

spend the job I do? Well, don't bring me

walking the streets, the car you drive,

the clothes you wear, the food you eat.

I own you. Everybody,

I owe you. Stupid bloody. I own you. Are

you

bloody? I own you. Stop.

You see old men. Well, one or two old

men.

And you know just by looking at them

they've had a good life.

Slept with lots of women

and you like them for it. You respect

them for it.

Don't think about the pain they've

caused.

That's safely in the past.

No. They had a zest for life.

They valued life. They lived it to the

full.

But you're not old yet.

And what you do

and why you do it, it's not life

affirmative at all. It's bitter,

mean,

and you don't value life, of course,

because what you did, it was indirectly,

I know, but

what you did led to three children

dying,

and I have seen no guilt at all.

No remorse.

So,

all in all,

I think I'm beginning to despise you

ever so slightly, of course.

Got

the rest.

Where's the baby? My mom's my dinner. I

said it'd only be 5 minutes.

Does she know you with me? No, I don't

think it was a very good idea.

Yeah, you said it about me. Yeah, but

it's different. You are a slag. Oh,

what? What? I'm slag. I don't think I

am. You can't say that. All you think

about is getting your own way anyway.

So, what's the difference? You got no

chance, mate. There is no difference

whatsoever between what you do and what

I do. Don't you go. We're married for

Christ's sake. I've got a child and

you've got to sneak out to see me. Whose

fault is that?

And I'm not

You're a scallally from Liverpool. You

got their daughter. But I'm telling you

how they see it, not how I see it.

You got their daughter pregnant. You

took her away to Liverpool. You were too

bow and idle to get a job. When you did

get a job, you gambled all your wages

away. You went thieving. Got thrown in

jail. She came back home. End of a sorry

chapter in their daughter's life. But

it's not the end. You turn up again and

drown their niece.

Are you really

supposed to?

Yeah. Well, nobody's perfect.

[Music]

Yes, you are.

You are such a What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with that? What's those

asses? He's trying to summon up the

courage.

[Music]

Soldier, mate, forget it.

[Music]

Would

[Music]

you help me?

[Music]

An old experienced singer is sitting by

the bar, brushing ashes from his sleeve

like one who's traveled far. Outside,

it's started raining. The moon begins

her song.

Getting out his tarot cards, he says,

"This won't take long." He tells me to

stop fighting my mind's demented twin.

He says, "My friend, we're all afraid

beneath these masks of skin.

[Music]

You've been with him all night.

What do you want to hear, John?

Yes, I've been with him all night. Yes,

he shagged me silly all night. Yes, he's

better than you.

Yes, it's twice as long as yours, twice

as hard as yours. Is that what you want

to hear?

Look, I know it was you, right? I know.

Don't try and say it wasn't cuz it was.

It was. What's he done? You right.

You're a liar. What's he done? Oh,

they're calling me Julie behind me back.

You want me who started it? All right.

Reservoir dogs comes to me. Why Julie?

Oh, you know why? Julie Andrews do me.

And it's down to him, right? That god

[ __ ] I never said anything. Yes, you

did. You li

You want to watch it far? You going to

get your bollocks? Oh, yeah.

Shall I do it?

Would Annie like it? It's hardly worn.

Would you like her to wear it?

Yes.

Arthur.

No. Annie, I'm not making you wear it

all the time. Just now there and again.

No.

You couldn't tell Sheila the truth.

Sorry, Sheila. My daughter won't wear

your daughter's coat cuz your daughter's

dead. Well, you wouldn't have to put it

quite so bluntly as that.

How are things at home?

No one's killed anyone yet.

How's Peter?

Peter's a good man.

I love him.

I've loved him for over 20 years.

I know I've told you things,

but I don't want you to use those

things. I think it's wrong to use

anything I've told you using anything.

I shouldn't have come here.

Then why did you come?

We were friends,

special friends.

I valued that.

It was part of my life.

Like coming to this church is part of my

life. Coming to mass.

Now all of a sudden there's a danger in

our friendship and I'm the one who has

to suffer.

I'm the one who has to make the

sacrifices.

Keep away from you, from church, from

mass.

Well, I'm not prepared to do that.

It's your problem as well, Matthew.

All right.

Do you fancy a beer?

I wouldn't lie to a priest.

No.

Out in the street in the ale house.

Yeah, fair enough. But not in this

situation. Do you know what I mean?

Yes.

I didn't let the kids out on that lake.

The first time I saw them, they were

already out there.

Do you believe me?

Why are you telling me this?

Cuz I want you to say you believe me,

cuz no one else does.

Apart from Emma.

Yeah.

Is it drugs?

What? Emma was always short of money in

Liverpool,

even when you were working. Were you

spending your money on drugs?

No. On what then?

I was spending my money on anything. You

said you wouldn't lie to a priest.

You've just done it. How can I believe

anything you tell me?

I was gambling.

Heavily.

Yeah.

Are you still gambling?

Well, not since the boat went down.

I was on the phone to the bookie. That's

why the kids were able to sneak into the

boat.

But I can't tell anyone that. And you

can't either because I I promised Emma I

would never gamble again.

Do you believe me?

Did it win

the bet? Yeah.

120 quid. What did you spend it on?

Nothing, man. Picked it up.

So, if I phone the bookies, there'll be

£120 waiting for Danny Cavana.

Yeah,

but you don't believe me anyway, do you?

So, forget it.

I believe you.

Yeah.

Yes,

I am guilty. Yeah, but not in the way

that they think.

I promised I wouldn't gamble. I mean, I

was I was going to swear down a life,

any bleeding life. I mean, my granddad

lived to be 92, so I know it's a pile of

crap. Do you know what I mean? I mean, I

swear on Manda's life about a thousand

times, and every time I was lying to me

with teeth, and nothing never happened

to him, so I know it's a pile of crap.

But as soon as I pick up the phone to

have a little bet,

bleeding boat goes down.

Three kids.

[ __ ]

[ __ ] We remember poor little Susan

Charles, Lisa Goodman,

and Paula Thuait.

and we think of the pain and grief their

parents are going through.

Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

And we remember all those involved with

that terrible accident.

Sarah Kilbride, our doctor,

Sergeant Slater, and the other police

officers,

the ambulance men.

And we remember especially

a young man who's being blamed for that

accident.

Danny Cavana.

Lord hear us.

The body of Christ. Amen.

[Music]

The body of Christ. Amen.

[Music]

Body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

Body of Christ.

Body of Christ.

[Music]

Body of Christ. Amen.

One more time, service. See you next

week. Thank you very much. Thank you for

bless.

Are you okay? Yes.

Thank you.

You're a disgrace to the priesthood,

Matthew. It's easy to be trendy. It's

easy to pray for killers when it's not

your child that's been killed. When it's

not you thirsting for justice. You've

got no idea what it's like to have a

child, never mind to lose one. You can't

possibly know the pain I'm going

through. So, how dare you come out with

phony trendy shite while I'm sitting in

your pew grieving

and Paul's funeral. I'm telling you this

while I'm in the mood, Matthew. A few

home truths.

My child's funeral.

And you're spouting about being angry

with God and community and neighbors.

And no once did you tell me I'd see

Pauler again.

Nobody, no one single soul has told me

I'll see Pauler again.

And I think I had a right to hear it

from my priest. You're a disgrace.

[Music]

Oh my god.

[Music]

Is Emma in? I don't want you coming

around. Is Emma in? No, she isn't.

You're lying. You got somebody, Jake.

I want to see I get my wife. Get my ass

on you. I'll rip you. I want to see my

wife including kids.

Have you got a bloody blood

out of question then? Yeah.

Perfect. Don't let him get you. He's

just a scing

around here. I need a bloody shame.

Believe it.

Where you going out?

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Do you want to talk?

She didn't mean it.

She meant it.

Do you know why I couldn't say it?

Because I don't believe it.

They're all up there on a cloud, are

they? All the billions who've died,

who've been slaughtered, gust, blown to

bits. They're all up there on a cloud

playing their harps.

It's a fairy tale.

Reality is a little girl, nose and mouth

caked in mud, dead. And I couldn't

respond to that with a fairy tale. But I

should have done that. To hold my

integrity, I should have lied through my

teeth.

Don't drink.

No.

Glass of wine. No.

Have a glass of wine. Do you want a

glass of wine? Yes. Then have one.

I

don't belong here.

You're the best priest we've ever had.

I'm a city priest.

Devil frats, abandoned factories,

racism, dog cues. I love it. Something

get my teeth into. Something keep me

busy. something that stopped me thinking

what

bloody hell am I doing with my life.

She didn't mean it.

It was a grief talking.

She's told me many times what a

wonderful priest you are.

She said then

yes.

I've got to make a few calls,

right? Number

you have dialed has not been recognized.

Please check and try again.

The number you have dialed has not been

recogned. Please check and try again.

Water, water everywhere,

and all the boards did shrink.

Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to

drink.

A well a day. What evil looks had I from

old and young?

Instead of a cross, the albatross

about my neck was hung.

Let us offer each other the sign of

peace.

She

peace be with you.

Peace be with you.

Peace be with you.

Peace be with you.

Peace be with you.

[Music]

Peace be with you.

Peace be with you.

Peace be with you. I'm with you, Father.

So he says, "Do you want to buy this

watch?" Is this one of your stupid

jokes? It's Brill. He says, "This watch

will never lose a second. It's the best

watch in the world." Have you fallen out

with him? Who? That night, the girls go

for news at 10:00. He looks at his watch

half five. He says to his wife, "A, have

you been messing around with this telly?

Look like you've fallen out with him.

We had a few words. What about

Sheila?

It's not like you.

No. No.

Put a monkey in a dog collie and worship

the ground it walked on.

Sick. I'm sick and tired of you sniffing

a bloody milk. Do you think I'll give

you sour milk? Have I ever given you

sour milk? No. For Christ sake, stop

sniffing a bloody thing.

I passed my test today. Yeah.

No need to make a song and dance about

it.

What?

Nothing.

Thought you might like to take me out.

Celebrate. Can't. Why not? Thomas,

there's no evidence he's possessed. I'd

managed to find a babysitter from

somewhere.

There's a rumor going around that you've

murdered me and buried me under the

patio. Be nice for people to see me just

to disprove it. Don't wait up.

[Music]

I never thought I'd get pregnant.

I never thought I'd have a baby.

That was for other women, you know. I

didn't think I was capable of it,

but I was.

And I like showing her off.

Showing my baby off.

But then Sheila goes and loses her

child, and

I can't show my baby off to Sheila

anymore,

you know? You know, and I can't even

walk past her house without thinking, is

she in there watching me with my baby?

It'll get easier with time. No, because

who's the father of my child, Danny? And

who's to blame for the death of her

child, Danny? What does that do to her?

Danny's not to blame. That's how she

sees it. And she's wrong.

You know that.

Yes. He might feel guilty, but he isn't.

Feel guilty. Yes.

Why?

They did get into the boat when his back

was turned. Yes. Well, he hasn't got

eyes in the back of his head. I know.

So, why feel guilty?

You should talk to Danny.

Have you talked to him?

Yes.

What are you hiding from me?

Talk to Danny.

What?

What? What did you tell Matthew?

What? You heard

nothing.

What do you feel guilty about?

He's got no right to be spouting off to

you about anything I've said. Guilty

about nothing. I feel guilty about

nothing. Well, you've told him things

that you haven't told me and I want they

are. I've got a right

telling lies about me.

[Music]

You got that you scaff

[Music]

of houses

are burning down on me. I can feel the

blue hands touching me. All these things

into position.

All these things are wonderful.
