WE'LL HAVE TO START THINKING

ABOUT FINDING YOU SOMEWHERE TO

I'LL GO OVER THERE LATER ON.

YOU WILL, OF COURSE.

THEY'LL KEEP US FOR A WHILE.

I'M NOT MOVING OUT OF

I'M NOT MOVING OUT OF

THIS PLACE.

Sinead: BUT SURE, NAN, WHERE

ARE YOU GOING TO STAY?

I WAS FOUR YEARS OLD... MY

FATHER DIED OF A FAMINE FEVER.

SURE, I KNOW, PEGGY.

AND LATER, I HAD FIVE

CHILDREN AND I WAS EVICTED,

AND I'M NOT MOVING OUT, UNLESS

IN A BOX.

YEAH, BUT IT WILL ONLY BE FOR

A FEW WEEKS, YOU KNOW?

Bernadette: OH, MAM.

Sinead: NAN, THERE'S

NOTHING HERE.

THE, THE HOUSE IS GONE.

I'LL, I'LL CLEAN OUT

THE CHICKEN COOP.

Damien: AH, NOW, DON'T BE

TALKING LIKE THAT.

Bernadette: AH, MAM...

Peggy: YES.

YOU'LL CLEAN OUT THE CHICKEN

COOP, NAN?

Peggy: YES, I'M GOING...

I'M CLEANING THE CHICKEN COOP.

MICHEAIL WAS MURDERED.

DO YOU EXPECT US TO LIVE INSIDE

THE CHICKEN COOP?

I'M GOING CLEANING

THE CHICKEN COOP.

AH, NO, PEGGY.

I'VE A MESSAGE...

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

TOM... TOMAS, SIR.

WHAT'S THE MESSAGE?

I DON'T KNOW.

IT JUST STARTS WITH A "T,"

THAT'S ALL I KNOW. >> "T"?

THE MOST IMPORTANT WORD OF

THE MESSAGE STARTS WITH A "T"?

Teddy: CUP OF TEA THEN?

WHERE'S THE MESSAGE?

WHO GAVE IT TO YOU?

UM, A MAN DOWN IN

THE VILLAGE.

Teddy: A LITTLE CHAP WITH

A MESSAGE, BUT I THINK HE'S LOST

IT, THOUGH.

COME ON, BOY,

WHERE'S THE MESSAGE?

UM, IT MUST BE IN HERE.

Congo: CHECK IN YOUR

BACK POCKETS.

Teddy: WHO GAVE IT TO YOU?

HAVE YOU LOST IT?

WHAT DID HE SAY TO YOU?

WAS IT A PIECE OF PAPER

OR SOMETHING?

YES, A PIECE OF PAPER.

WAS IT AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE?

YES, HE SAID IT WAS VERY

IMPORTANT AND IT WAS FOR

TEDDY O'DONOVAN.

Teddy: HE HAD A MESSAGE,

HE LOST IT.

WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR

THIS NOW.

DID YOU COME DOWN

THE HILL OR UP THE HILL?

DOWN THE HILL.

GO SEE IF YOU CAN FIND WHERE

HE DROPPED IT... WAS IT THICK?

THICK FOR DROPPING THE MESSAGE,

WAS IT?

Congo: IS HE, IS HE

A LOCAL MAN?

HOLD UP, I HAVE IT,

I HAVE IT, I HAVE IT.

"A TRUCE HAS BEEN DECLARED.

BEEN DECLARED.

Congo: YOU'RE JOKING?

Damien: JESUS CHRIST.

IS THAT RIGHT?

IT'S A TRUCE, LADS.

IS THAT RIGHT?

YEAH...

Damien: LOOK AT THIS, BOY.

IT'S ALL TRUE.

"IMMEDIATE AND TERRIBLE WAR."

THOSE WERE THE EXACT WORDS.

THE THREAT PROMISED BY THE

BRITISH CABINET IF WE DIDN'T

RATIFY THIS TREATY.

LLOYD GEORGE, CHURCHILL,

CHAMBERLAIN...

BIRKENHEAD, HAMAR GREENWOOD...

A BUNCH OF MORE VICIOUS BASTARDS

IN THE ONE ROOM YOU CAN'T

IMAGINE.

THEY HAVE JUST WATCHED

17 MILLION MEN, WOMEN AND

CHILDREN DIE IN THE GREAT WAR.

SO WHAT MAKES ANY OF YOU THINK

THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE A DAMN

ABOUT A FEW THOUSAND

DEAD REPUBLICANS?

Rory: BLUFFING.

THEY'RE IN A DIRTY WAR

AND THEY CAN'T WIN.

Teddy: OH, I SEE...

FAIR ENOUGH.

Lily: I AGREE.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO LOSE FACE

IN AMERICA.

AND THE REST OF THE WORLD.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO RISK

THAT, TEDDY.

Ned: IT'S COSTING THEM 10,000

POUNDS A DAY.

THEY CAN'T AFFORD THAT.

Teddy: OH, THEY'VE A LOT

MORE AFTER THAT, BOY, DON'T

YOU WORRY.

LADS, LADS, YOU'RE, YOU'RE,

YOU'RE NOT HEARING WHAT

TEDDY'S SAYING.

"IMMEDIATE AND TERRIBLE WAR."

THINK ABOUT IT.

WE'VE 3-1/2 THOUSAND RIFLES

IN THE COUNTRY.

HOW'S THAT GOING TO WORK

FOR US, HUH?

LADS, WE HAVE FREEDOM WITHIN

OUR GRASP.

WE'RE THAT CLOSE.

IT'S JUST ONE INCH, BUT IT'S

STILL OUT OF REACH.

AND IF WE STOP NOW, WE WILL

NEVER AGAIN... REGAIN THE POWER

THAT I CAN FEEL IN THIS ROOM.

I CAN SENSE IT IN THIS

ROOM TODAY.

AND IF WE STOP SHORT NOW, NEVER

IN OUR LIFETIME WILL WE SEE THAT

ENERGY AGAIN... EVER!

SO I'M BEGGING EACH AND EVERY

ONE OF YOU TO JUST GO THAT INCH.

WE CANNOT STOP UNTIL WE'VE

COMPLETE FREEDOM FROM BRITAIN!

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE...]

NOW, REMEMBER THIS.

REMEMBER THIS.

EACH ONE OF US SWORE AN OATH OF

ALLEGIANCE TO THE IRISH

PARLIAMENT OF 1919...

AND THIS TREATY FLIES IN THE

FACE OF IT.

IT INSULTS IT BY ASKING US TO

SWEAR ANOTHER OATH TO THE KING

THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET OUT.

AN OATH, AND MAYBE IF I WAS

A POLITICIAN LIKE YOURSELVES,

I'D THINK, YEAH, I CAN SAY

WHATEVER I WANT, BUT I'M NOT.

I'M A REPUBLICAN.

AND THE ONLY QUESTION I WANT YOU

TO ANSWER TODAY IS, ARE YE MEN

OF YOUR WORD?

Teddy: WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

DO YOU, DO YOU EXPECT ME TO

ANSWER THAT?

ARE YOU A REPUBLICAN?

OF COURSE I'M A REPUBLICAN!

Finbar: I NEED TO SAY

SOMETHING IN ANSWER TO THAT.

BLOODY LIAR.

ABSENT FACES.

BUT THEY'RE STILL PRESENT

IN HERE.

IT'S KEVIN, JOHNNY, COLUM...

Damien: MICHEAIL.

MURDERED IN THE BARRACKS.

THERE'S BENNY, SHOT IN THE

BACK WHILE CUTTING TURF.

AIDAN, TORTURED AND THEN HUNG.

MICHEAIL...

JESUS, I COULD GO ON ALL DAY,

BUT WE CAN'T FORGET MICHEAIL.

HE WAS BEATEN TO A PULP IN FRONT

OF HIS MOTHER.

AND I CANNOT... I WILL NOT...

SPIT ON THE GRAVES OF OUR

DEAD MARTYRS BY SWEARING AN OATH

OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE

BRITISH CROWN!

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE...]

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO

DESECRATE THE GRAVES OF THOSE

BOYS, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO

INSULT THEIR MEMORIES, YOU GO

AHEAD AND REJECT THIS TREATY.

BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT THEY

DIED FOR.

AND BECAUSE A LOT OF YOU ARE

TOO STUBBORN,

YOU'RE TOO STUBBORN...

Tim: COLLINS SOLD US OUT WITH

THAT TREATY.

YOU'RE TOO STUBBORN TO...

Teddy: YOU WATCH HOW YOU TALK

ABOUT MICHAEL COLLINS.

MICHAEL COLLINS IS A HERO.

Lily: HE WENT DOWN THERE

TO LONDON.

HE WAS SEDUCED BY THE WINING AND

THE DINING...

Teddy: WE HAVE...

AND HE DID NOT NEGOTIATE

A PROPER TREATY.

BLOODY SURRENDER.

Teddy: HOW IS IT MORE OF

A SURRENDER THAN WHAT THE

BRITISH ARE DOING?

THINK OF THE CONCESSIONS

THEY'VE MADE.

LLOYD GEORGE IS IN A COALITION

WITH DIE-HARD TORIES.

AS FAR AS THEY'RE CONCERNED,

IRELAND IS THIS TINY DOT IN A

MUCH BIGGER PICTURE.

DO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK HE'D...

THEY'D LET HIM GIVE THE GREEN

LIGHT TO NATIONALISTS IN INDIA

AND IN AFRICA AND, AND THE WHOLE

FUCKING EMPIRE BY GIVING US

COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE?

IT WAS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN

THAT WAY, AND YOU ALL KNOW IT.

Damien: IF WE RATIFY THIS

TREATY, WE WILL DESTROY THE TWO

MOST PRECIOUS GIFTS THAT WE WON

WITH THIS LAST ELECTION.

ONE BEING A MANDATE FOR

COMPLETE FREEDOM, NOT A

COMPROMISED FREEDOM.

THE SECOND BEING A DEMOCRATIC

PROGRAMME WHICH, IN WHICH IS

ENSHRINED THE PRIORITY,

THE PUBLIC WELFARE OVER

PRIVATE WELFARE.

NOW, THIS TREATY WILL

COPPER-FASTEN THE HOLD OF THE

POWERFUL OVER THE POOR, BECAUSE

THERE WILL BE A GOVERNOR GENERAL

WHO WILL HAVE OUR PUPPET

PARLIAMENT ON A LEASH.

AND IT WILL BE BUSINESS AS

USUAL, WITH WORKERS TIED TO A

SHIFT AT A FACTORY BENCH AND

FELLAS OUT BEGGING FOR JOBS.

[APPLAUSE...]

IT'S PARTITION.

THE PARTITION OF THE COUNTRY.

THE ALIENATION, THE ABANDONMENT

OF OUR BROTHERS UP IN THE TOP

OF THIS COUNTRY.

THE... YOU SAY THE BRITS ARE

LEAVING HERE?

THEY'RE GOING 300 MILES UP THE

ROAD, LEO.

THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO.

BUT MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN

ARE BEING BURNED OUT OF THEIR

HOMES, TEDDY.

Man: IT'S TRUE, BOY,

IT'S TRUE.

IT IS TRUE.

Sinead: MY COUSINS ARE ON THE

STREETS OF BELFAST, BURNED FROM

THEIR HOMES BY LOYALIST MOBS.

THERE'S REFUGEES ALL

OVER DUBLIN.

YOU KNOW WHAT THIS TREATY MEANS

FOR THEM?

INSTEAD OF SECTARIAN GANGS,

THEY'LL NOW FACE THOSE SAME

THUGS, ARMED AND UNIFORMED BY

THE BRITISH STATE.

[APPLAUSE...]

READ THE TREATY, SINEAD.

READ THE TREATY, SINEAD.

Sinead: THERE IS NO CERTAINTY

THERE, TEDDY.

AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A

DIVIDED IRELAND.

THERE IS CERTAINTY.

READ THE TREATY, READ

THE TREATY, THERE IS CERTAINTY.

THERE IS NO CERTAINTY.

Finbar: DAN?

MY DAD WAS A NAVVY.

HE WORKED IN LONDON, DIGGING

HOLES FOR TUPPENCE HA'PENNY

UNTIL IT KILLED HIM.

I HAVE TWO SISTERS I NEVER GOT

TO KNOW BECAUSE THEY DIED IN

INFANCY FOR WANT, WANT OF

A DOCTOR.

NOW, WHAT I SIGNED UP TO, WHEN I

GOT INVOLVED IN THIS,

WAS PART...

HERE, I HAVE A PIECE OF

PAPER HERE.

IT'S FROM THE... THE DEMOCRATIC

PROGRAMME OF THE FIRST DAIL.

IT'S A SHORT QUOTE, FINBAR,

I WON'T KEEP YOUSE.

I'M GOING TO READ THIS OUT

TO YOU.

"THE NATION'S SOVEREIGNTY

EXTENDS NOT ONLY TO ALL THE MEN

AND WOMEN OF THE NATION, BUT TO

ALL ITS MATERIAL POSSESSIONS,

THE NATION'S SOIL AND ALL

ITS RESOURCES.

ALL THE WEALTH AND ALL THE

WEALTH-PRODUCING PROCESSES

WITHIN THE NATION."

THAT MEANS ALL OF US HERE, AND

ALL OF US IN THIS COUNTRY, OWN

EVERY BIT OF THIS COUNTRY.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE ALL SIGNED UP

TO WHEN WE VOTED FOR THE DAIL.

Sinead: HEAR, HEAR.

RIGHT?

IF WE PURSUE THIS, EVERY CHILD

IN THIS COUNTRY WILL HAVE AN

EQUAL CHANCE.

IF WE DON'T, THEY WON'T HAVE A

CH... A, A CHANCE IN HELL.

IF WE RATIFY THIS TREATY, ALL

WE'RE CHANGING IS THE ACCENTS OF

THE POWERFUL AND THE COLOR OF

THE FLAG.

[APPLAUSE...]

Man: WELL DONE!

Teddy: THAT'S NOT TRUE!

Teddy: THAT'S NOT TRUE! [BASS DRUM BEATING...]

[BASS DRUM BEATING...]

Man: WELL, THANKS BE TO GOD

IT WAS A GREAT DAY TO SEE THE

BACK OF THEM.

Steady Boy: JESUS CHRIST, I

THOUGHT I'D NEVER SEE THE DAY.

Man 2: IT CERTAINLY IS.

Man 1: NOT BEFORE ITS TIME.

EXACTLY.

EXACTLY. [DRUM BEATING CONTINUES...]

[DRUM BEATING CONTINUES...]

Man 1: GOOD RIDDANCE TO THEM.

ONE-WAY TICKET NOW, LADS.

HAVE A SAFE JOURNEY AND GOD

BLESS TO ALL OF YOU.

Soldier: BUGGER OFF, PADDY!

AND I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL.

Sergeant: EYES TO YOUR

FRONT, SOLDIER!

Steady Boy: LOOK AT THEM,

LADS, NOT A GUN BETWEEN THEM.

Dan: HANDED THEM ALL OVER TO

THE FREESTATERS.

Donacha: JESUS CHRIST, DAN.

THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY.

IS THAT NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?

[ENGINE CHUGS, WHEELS SQUEAKING]

HERE, LOOK AT THE

GOMBEEN MEN.

LICKING THEIR LIPS

ALREADY, DAMIEN.

DECENT MEN, DAN.

OH, ARE THEY?

YEAH, THEY ARE.

Sinead: IT'S TEDDY IN THE

FREESTATE UNIFORM.

Congo: WHAT?

TEDDY, HE'S WEARING THE

BLOODY FREESTATE UNIFORM.

Dan: KICK OUT THE BLACK AND

TANS, BRING IN THE GREEN

AND TANS.

Donacha: YOU BASTARDS,

THE LOT OF YOU.

WON'T EVEN GIVE US A CHANCE.

THIS TREATY'S BEEN APPROVED

BY THE DAIL.

Damien: HASN'T BEEN APPROVED

IN THE FIELD, DONACHA.

SAVE IT!

HASN'T BEEN APPROVED IN

HERE, BOY.

ANY OF YOU FOR A DRINK?

ANY OF YOU FOR A DRINK? Dan: YEAH, GO ON.

Dan: YEAH, GO ON.

HOW ARE YOU, BOY?

LADS.

WE'RE BACK AT WORK AGAIN.

I HAVE TO GO TO DUBLIN.

THE REPUBLICAN ARMY LEADERS HAVE

SUMMONED AN EMERGENCY MEETING.

SEVEN OUT OF 10 VOLUNTEERS OUT

AGAINST THE TREATY.

THESE FREESTATE LADEENS UP HERE

ARE RECRUITING LEFT, RIGHT

AND CENTER.

EX-BRITISH ARMY, ALL SORTS.

IS IT TRUE THEY'RE BRINGING

IN WEAPONS FROM ENGLAND?

THERE'S ALL SORTS OF RUMORS

FLYING ALL OVER THE PLACE.

WE'RE SETTING UP A NEW H.Q.

IN DUBLIN.

I NEED THE PAIR OF YE AND I NEED

RORY TO KEEP THE TRAINING GOING.

I'LL BE IN TOUCH WHEN I CAN.

Dan: ALL RIGHT.

Damien: WHAT IF THEY TRY

AND TAKE THE GUNS OFF US?

OVER MY DEAD BODY WILL WE

OVER MY DEAD BODY WILL WE GIVE UP A SINGLE BULLET.

GIVE UP A SINGLE BULLET.

Damien: RIGHT,

KEEP YOUR BACKSIDES DOWN.

Rory: TUCK IT

INTO YOUR ELBOWS.

KEEP YOUR ASS DOWN.

Dan: GET THE MUZZLE UP OUT

OF THERE... GO ON,

YOU'LL SMASH THAT RIFLE.

Congo: THE BUTT OF YOUR RIFLE

IS FACING AWAY FROM YOU.

Rory: COME ON, BOY,

KEEP THE LINE, WILL YOU?

COME ON.

Damien: KEEP THE LINE, LADS.

COME ON, DON'T BE RUSHING AHEAD.

Congo: CHRIST SAKES,

MY GRANDMOTHER COULD DO BETTER

THAN THIS.

Rory: YOU'RE FALLING BEHIND

AGAIN, YOU DOZY BOLLOX!

NOW MOVE FORWARD!

Dan: DOWN THE LINE, LOOK DOWN

THE LINE... THERE ISN'T ONE!

Damien: YOUR MUZZLE'S GOING

STRAIGHT INTO THE DIRT, GERRY.

Rory: RIGHT, NEXT LINE!

[♪...]

DON'T BE LAST IN LINE!

"ON THE DOUBLE" MEANS "RUN,"

COME ON!

FORM THE LINE.

OI, ON YOUR BELLIES.

PUT THE RIFLES AS WE TOLD YOU.

Congo: YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE

GOING, YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK.

Rory: YOUR DOZY FACE MAKES

A GREAT TARGET!

NOW PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN!

ARE YOU THE DOCTOR?

I NEED A DOCTOR.

I WANT TO HAVE A LOOK

GOOD MAN, NOW, LIE BACK DOWN

Mother: WILL HE BE

ALL RIGHT, DOCTOR?

HE WILL.

HE WILL. HE'LL BE FINE.

HE'LL BE FINE.

GOOD MAN.

WOULD YOU LIKE A GLASS

OF WATER?

Damien: I WON'T, NO,

I'M FINE.

MAYBE A DROP FOR HIMSELF.

RIGHT, UP YOU GET NOW.

ARE THEY YOUR SISTERS OUTSIDE?

MM-HMM.

WHAT ARE THEIR NAMES?

[CHILD MUMBLES...]

AOIFE, SHEILA AND EMER.

Dan [WHISPERS]: HOW IS HE?

WHO'S DOING THE STALL

Steady Boy: HUH?

Dan: THE STALL.

I'M NOT DOING ANY STALL.

WHAT?

FECK OFF... ASK LILY

TO DO THE STALL.

Lily: I CAN'T DO THE STALL ON

SATURDAY, YOU'LL HAVE TO DO IT.

Steady Boy: I CAN'T DO

THE STALL.

Ned: I... CAN'T.

Rory: ONE THING I DON'T

UNDERSTAND ABOUT YOU LADS.

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS PUT LABOUR

ABOVE THE REPUBLIC?

TELEGRAM FROM DUBLIN!

FINBAR WAS IN THE FOUR COURTS

WITH ALL THE REPUBLICAN LEADERS.

FREESTATERS SMASHED THE PLACE

WITH EIGHTEEN-POUNDERS

FROM THE BRITISH.

[ALL EXCLAIM]

Dan: FUCK'S SAKE.

Rory: BASTARDS!

Lily: SINEAD, WAS THERE

ANYONE KILLED?

I'VE NO DETAILS, LILY.

BUT FINBAR WANTS US TO HIT BACK

DOWN HERE IMMEDIATELY.

I'M NOT HITTING BACK.

Damien: WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO?

I'M SORRY, LADS.

THAT'S AN ORDER FROM FINBAR.

Rory: AH, YOU CAN TELL THAT

TO THE BASTARDS KILLING

REPUBLICANS IN THE FOUR COURTS!

Damien: RORY, RORY,

WHERE ARE YOU GOING, BOY?

THE MORE, THE LONGER I STAY

HERE, THE MORE MEN... THE MORE

OF MY MEN'S LIVES ARE IN DANGER.

COME ON.

Damien: WHAT'S THIS GONNA

ACHIEVE... NED!

Ned: WE'VE RECEIVED

OUR ORDERS, ALL RIGHT?

Damien: JESUS CHRIST.

SORRY, LADS.

I'M NOT HITTING BACK.

Damien: THERE'S MEN

IN THE FOUR COURTS.

OUR COMRADES ARE UP THERE,

STEADY BOY.

DAMIEN...

Dan: THEY'RE GETTIN' HIT.

I'M WITH YOU

ALL THE WAY, BUT...

Damien: DO YOU UNDERSTAND

WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE?

I'M WITH YOU ALL THE WAY BUT

THESE ARE OUR OWN LADS

AND I'M SORRY.

NO, NO, OUR COMRADES

ARE IN THE FOUR COURTS.

THEY'RE OUR COMRADES.

Sinead: THIS IS NOT GONNA

[FOOTSTEPS DESCENDING STAIRS]

Teddy: BLOODY RORY,

HE'S INSANE.

SOME BASTARDS ARE BEYOND REASON.

SELF-RIGHTEOUS RORY, WITH HIS

BIG THICK HEAD ON HIM.

HE'S QUITE CONTENT BEING

THE MISERABLE UNDERDOG,

YOU DO KNOW THAT?

Denis: I DO INDEED.

Teddy: JESUS.

THE MILITARY COURTS.

THAT'LL SHOW THEM.

Teddy: IT'S NOT ENOUGH.

Denis: WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

IF THEY TAKE ONE OUT,

WE TAKE ONE BACK.

TO HELL WITH THE COURTS.

Denis: JESUS, TEDDY.

THEY'RE STILL OUR BOYS

OUT THERE.

THEY'RE CONFUSED.

THEY'LL RUN OUT OF STEAM.

SOME WILL.

SOME WILL FIGHT TO THE END.

I AGREE, WE GOT TO STAMP IT OUT.

Teddy: IF WE DON'T STOP THEM,

THE BRITS WILL BE BACK.

AFTER ALL WE'VE ACHIEVED, AFTER

EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN THROUGH,

WE CAN'T GO BACK TO THAT.

I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE

THE DAY.

MILITARY COURTS ESTABLISHED

IN IRELAND... BY IRISHMEN.

DEPORTATION OR THE DEATH PENALTY

FOR THOSE CAUGHT WITH ARMS.

IN THE NAME OF GOD,

WHAT IS GOING ON?

I FOUND THIS ON THE STREET

DURING THE WEEK.

"UNDER THE REPUBLIC, THE LANDS

OF THE ARISTOCRACY, WHO LIVE IN

LUXURY IN LONDON, WILL BE SEIZED

AND DIVIDED UP AGAINST LANDLESS

WORKERS AND SMALL FARMERS.

ALL INDUSTRY AND AGRICULTURE

WILL BE CONTROLLED BY THE STATE

FOR THE WORKERS'

AND FARMERS' BENEFIT."

NOT CONTENT WITH STEALING YOUR

SAVINGS, THEY'LL BE

NATIONALIZING THE TWELVE

APOSTLES NEXT.

MY DEAR BRETHREN, WE HAVE AN

OPPORTUNITY FOR THE FIRST TIME

IN GENERATIONS IN THIS COUNTRY

FOR PEACE AND PROSPERITY.

WE HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY WITHOUT

ENGLISH SOLDIERS MARCHING UP AND

DOWN OUR STREETS AND OUTSIDE OUR

CHURCHES ON A SUNDAY MORNING.

WE HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE

WE HAVE SIGNED A TREATY.

A TREATY OF PEACE.

[CONGREGATION MURMURS...]

QUIET!

LET ME REMIND THOSE OF YOU WHO

HAVE FORGOTTEN OF THE PASTORAL

LETTER SIGNED BY CARDINAL LOGUE

AND OTHER BISHOPS.

ANTI-TREATYITE IRREGULARS HAVE,

AND I QUOTE, "WRECKED IRELAND

FROM END TO END.

AND ALL THOSE WHO PARTICIPATE

IN SUCH CRIMES ARE GUILTY OF

THE GRAVEST SINS AND MAY NOT BE

ABSOLVED IN CONFESSION NOR

ADMITTED TO HOLY COMMUNION."

IN OTHER WORDS,

EXCOMMUNICATION.

AND THIS OPINION OF THE TREATY

IS NOT JUST THE OPINION

OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

IT IS THE OPINION

OF OTHER CHURCHES!

AND IT IS THE OPINION OF EVERY

NEWSPAPER UP AND DOWN,

AND THE LENGTH AND BREADTH

OF THIS COUNTRY.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY,

THIS TREATY WAS RATIFIED,

OVERWHELMINGLY RATIFIED BY

THE PEOPLE IN THEIR DEMOCRATIC

EXPRESSION IN THE JUNE ELECTION!

CAN YOU TELL ME, FATHER,

HOW THERE CAN BE A FAIR ELECTION

IN THIS COUNTRY WHEN THE MOST

POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

THREATENS WAR?

THIS IS NOT THE WILL

OF THE PEOPLE.

IT IS THE FEAROF THE PEOPLE.

[CONGREGATION MURMURS...]

HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME

IN THE HOUSE OF GOD! SILENCE!

DAMIEN O'DONOVAN, YOU'RE

A DISGRACE TO THE MEMORY

OF YOUR PARENTS!

YES! GET OUT!

THE FREE STATE CONSTITUTION

WAS ONLY PRINTED THE MORNING

OF THE ELECTION, SO NOBODY

HAD TIME TO READ IT!

YOUNG LADY, THIS IS NOT

THE MARKETPLACE!

SIT DOWN, SHUT UP OR GET OUT

OF MY CHURCH!

AND ONCE AGAIN, THE CATHOLIC

CHURCH, WITH HONORABLE

EXCEPTION, SIDES WITH THE RICH!

Priest: GET OUT!

Teddy: DAMIEN!

DAMIEN!

PLEASE!

COME ON, BOY.

I JUST WANT A WORD, YOU KNOW.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU'RE FIGHTING WITH

THE PARISH PRIEST NOW?

IS IT NOT BAD ENOUGH WE'RE

FIGHTING AMONGST OURSELVES, HUH?

HUH? AND WHAT'S IT ALL FOR?

Woman: WELL SAID, DAMIEN.

THIS... THIS RADICAL SHIT?

WHO, WHO IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

IS GONNA READ THIS?

HAVE YOU READ IT, TEDDY?

LOOK AT OUR OWN...

HAVE YOU?

DAMIEN, OUR OWN UNCLES IN

THEIR OWN FARMS, THEY'RE SCARED

OF THIS STUFF.

OUR OWN UNCLES?!

THEY'RE NOT WAVING

LITTLE RED FLAGS!

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN

HOW THEY BEHAVED? HAVE YOU?

AND OUR OWN FATHER WHEN HE FIRED

PAT McCARTHY BECAUSE HE WAS SICK

AND WE COULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT HIS

SON IN THE FACE BECAUSE

OF THE SHAME OF IT?

WHAT HAS OUR FATHER GOT

TO DO WITH THIS, DAMIEN?

LOOK, TEDDY, THERE'S ONE IN

FOUR PEOPLE OUT OF WORK

IN THIS COUNTRY, RIGHT?

I HAVE SEEN CHILDREN AND

FAMILIES STARVING.

DO WE EXPECT THEM TO HEAD OFF TO

NEW YORK AND LONDON LIKE BEFORE?

IS THAT IT?

IS THAT WHAT WE FOUGHT FOR?

BUT WE DIDN'T FIGHT

FOR THIS, DAMIEN!

LOOK, IT'S TOO LATE, TEDDY!

YOU'RE NOT GONNA CONVINCE ME!

YOU'RE DREAMIN'!

YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN

A DREAMER, DAMIEN.

I AM NOT A DREAMER.

I AM A REALIST, TEDDY. HMM?

I NEED YOU WITH ME

ON THIS, DAMIEN.

I SWEAR, WE'LL TEAR UP THE

TREATY ONCE WE'RE STRONG ENOUGH,

BUT I NEED YOU TO... TO BE WITH

ME ON THIS, YOU'RE, I MEAN,

YOU'RE MY... JUST GIVE ME TIME.

GIVE THIS, GIVE THIS A CHANCE.

IT'S TOO LATE, TEDDY.

YOU CAN'T SEE IT, BOY.

YOU REALLY CAN'T SEE IT.

JOHN BULL HAS HIS HAND DOWN YOUR

PANTS AND HIS FIST ROUND YOUR

BOLLOCKS, AND YOU CAN'T SEE IT!

THAT'S NOT IT, DAMIEN.

THIS TREATY, TEDDY, THIS

TREATY... THIS TREATY MAKES YOU

A SERVANT OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE.

YOU HAVE WRAPPED YOURSELF

IN THE FUCKING UNION JACK.

THE BUTCHER'S APRON, BOY.

WHERE'S RORY, DAMIEN?

HEY, DON'T DO ANYTHING
