01:40Come on.
01:57Oh, God, please, please.
02:02Don't upset yourself like this, Beth.
02:04He's in good hands.
02:06He'll have the best that money can buy.
02:10I promise, Francie, that if you get better, I promise I'll take you away somewhere safe.
02:19I promise.
02:24That dress, it's been so long since you wore it.
02:28Six years, is it?
02:33Let me get Maeve to iron it for you.
02:35No, thank you, Mother.
02:38It'll get creased again anyway.
02:40It's a long journey.
02:46I know where to get going, actually.
02:48At least have some tea.
02:50Maeve went to a lot of trouble to get it for you on the black market.
02:54And as for sugar, I don't know what it's like down where you live, but up here in the city
02:58with this impossible war.
03:08Beth, you know we did what we thought was the best for you.
03:13No, you didn't, Mother.
03:16You did what you thought was the best for you.
03:19Oh, that's unfair.
03:20Is it not?
03:24A little bit of courage, Mother.
03:28That's all it would have taken.
03:32One flurry of courage.
03:43Excuse me, I have to have a word with Maeve.
03:57I'm sorry, I could only get one orange.
03:59Oh, Maeve.
04:01You're too good to us.
04:03Parcels all these years.
04:05Let me tidy up your hair for you, Missy.
04:08You can't go around like that.
04:11Here.
04:13Put this around your shoulders.
04:21Maeve.
04:23I'll be coming back to Cork again as soon as I can.
04:28But...
04:30Well, you know how it is between me and...
04:35And them.
04:41I don't want to have to ask them.
04:47Until I can get back up.
04:51Could you keep an eye on Francie for me in the hospital?
04:55I know it's a lot to ask, but it's not far from here.
04:59You don't need to ask, Missy.
05:20I'll probably have to stay the night, you know that.
05:23Stay as long as you like.
05:26You always put her first anyway.
05:28No, Corrine.
05:30I put you first six years ago.
05:33And I lost her.
05:36Every morning of my life,
05:37I wake up to the knowledge of what I let happen.
05:41I don't think we know the half of it.
05:51I want her back, Corrine.
06:03I want her back, Corrine.
06:04I want her back, Corrine.
06:09I want her back, Corrine.
06:09What about the little boy?
06:12Francie.
06:13What about him?
06:16Someone from the family should be there to look after him.
06:22Thank you, Mother.
06:26I'll go up to the hospital this afternoon.
06:29If there's any news, I'll telephone.
06:34Try not to worry, Beth.
06:38Bye, Mother.
07:02I kept back a bit of chocolate, ma'am.
07:05You can bring it up to him for when he wakes.
07:12Try not to worry about the little lad.
07:15You know what children are.
07:17He'll be grand.
07:19And before you know it, he'll be grand.
07:21I have to be with him.
07:23Look, Daddy, I know it's a lot to ask.
07:25But do you think you could stay long enough for me to sort things out
07:29and get the children looked after?
07:31And then maybe take me back to Cork?
07:34Can't, Neely?
07:41Why not?
07:47In your own time, Beth.
08:15What's going on?
08:29Oh, my God, Cork, you'd already left Cork.
08:42The guards couldn't reach you.
08:43I'm terribly sorry.
08:44Well, just tell me, Tilly, for God's sake.
08:46It's not Francie.
08:47It's Neely.
08:47Oh, thank God.
08:49What?
08:50What happened?
08:51Where is he?
08:51He's taken away for a post-mortem.
08:55Take a drink, Lizzie.
08:56You have had a shock.
08:58What happened?
09:03I'm very sorry for your trouble.
09:06Will you tell me what happened?
09:10He was shot above a knock of money.
09:13He was shot?
09:15Who shot him?
09:20Slut.
09:22It's your fault.
09:24My father was right.
09:26She's a slut.
09:33Must be brave, my child.
09:36Accept the will of God.
09:38Excuse me, ma'am.
09:40I'm very sorry for your trouble.
09:42And for the intrusion.
09:45I'm Inspector Clancy from Cork City.
09:48I know this is neither the time nor the place.
09:51But I'm sure you know we will want to talk to you.
09:56And no one here has any idea where we could find a young lad, Danny McCarthy.
10:27What are you doing here?
10:30How dare you?
10:33It was an accident, Kitty.
10:35I swear.
10:38I don't believe you.
10:39I swear.
10:40I swear on my grandmother's grave.
10:43Danny.
10:44Kitty, I'm sorry to do this to you, but I have a very, very big favour to ask you.
10:49Will you tell Elizabeth I have to see her?
10:52I wouldn't blame you if you hated me for this, Kitty, but I'm begging you to be my friend now.
10:56You're my only hope.
10:57Look, my uncle has a little boat up in Derry Vega.
10:59Will you ask her to meet me there?
11:01Or she could come up here anywhere.
11:04Kitty, please.
11:29Kitty, you all right?
11:31Kitty, hang on a minute.
11:40She'll be at home helping your mother.
11:46It's all right.
11:49Why don't you come out of my place for a while?
11:52No, thanks.
11:55Please, yourself.
11:57I have to go.
11:59I have to get this fella fixed up.
12:10I have to get this fella fixed up.
12:40Come on, then.
12:57do you want to talk about it
13:02I know there was bad blood between you mossy
13:04but if you knew daddy the way I do
13:08I mean did
13:10he wasn't what they all think he was he
13:12wasn't and if she hadn't behaved that
13:16way at Jimmy Deany's dance then and now
13:19Danny McCarthy is the nerve to ask me to
13:21tell her he wants to see her if he thinks
13:24I'm going to
13:26oh my
13:45thank you poor little fella is there no
13:49improvement at all at all
14:15drink
14:28I tried to be a good wife
14:31I really did
14:35but I can't honestly say I feel a wife's grief
14:40I mean sadness I suppose
14:44I wish I could turn back the clock
14:47I wish
14:48I don't know what I wish
14:52but he didn't deserve to be shot
15:14I don't know what I mean
15:16I don't know what I mean
15:16I don't know what I mean
15:18but I don't know what it means
15:58eternal rest grant unto him oh lord and may perpetual light shine upon him
16:06may his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of god rest in peace
16:31in the name of
16:44hold it there
16:58hold it now hold it
17:23you stay here make sure he doesn't come and shower again yes sir
17:27okay
17:39I don't know.
18:07I don't know.
18:29Where's the owner of this vehicle?
18:32Yes, Inspector.
18:33Drive me to Artie's. I have to get their telephone.
18:36Come on, get a move on!
19:24You relate to the deceased, I believe.
19:28We were second cousins. And neighbors, of course.
19:32Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there something about a will, land?
19:37There are those on my side of the family who believe that Neely Scarlett was a land grabber.
19:42Is that what you believe?
19:42Yes.
19:45What time did you get home of that night, Mr. Sheehan?
19:49I don't know, Inspector. I don't have a watch.
19:52You did rush suddenly up that mountain, didn't you?
19:55Leaving two of your passengers in your vehicle.
19:58I didn't say I wasn't up there that night.
20:01Oh?
20:04I thought I saw something.
20:06Something?
20:09Like what, for instance?
20:11Some of the fellas who shoot up there, sometimes they only injure the animals which get away.
20:17I take them home, take care of them.
20:20Very commendable.
20:23You're a shooter yourself, I take it.
20:26You're registered here as the owner of a shotgun.
20:28That's right.
20:29But I shoot clean.
20:31I don't leave injured animals behind me.
20:37Exactly what did you see when you got there that night?
20:40Nothing.
20:42Well, let's put it another way.
20:43What do you think you saw?
20:48I thought I saw movement.
20:50That's all.
20:53It was late.
20:56I was jumpy after the fight.
20:59It could have been a sheep or a stray bullock.
21:03What did you do then?
21:05I went home.
21:08Anyone see you on the way?
21:11No.
21:13Wouldn't you say it's extraordinary, Mr. Sheehan.
21:17With hordes of people abroad that night.
21:20That quiet night of good weather.
21:25No one, not one single person, saw or heard the shot they killed Neely Scullard.
21:37Is that a yes or a no?
21:39I don't find it that extraordinary.
21:43People around here mind their own business.
21:53Fair dues.
21:54A great send-off, all the same.
21:58Guess who won't be shedding too many tears?
22:01Think we'll have a bit of fun again at the will.
22:04That's a warm farm of Neely's.
22:06Shh.
22:09What do you think, Neely?
22:10You think young Danny in my heart is all about their table?
22:12You can't believe it's such a lovely young man.
22:15Do you not even can tell?
22:17Come on, Neely.
22:21Come on, Neely.
22:23Come on.
22:26James called me for a time.
22:28Let me...
22:29That's it.
23:05Let's go.
23:26What are you doing?
23:27You've got to listen to me, Elizabeth.
23:29He rushed me.
23:30He was very angry and I had the gun and he was going for it.
23:33I swear I did not pull the trigger.
23:36I love you, Elizabeth.
23:37No, you don't.
23:38No, you don't.
23:39I do.
23:40I do.
23:41I didn't do it, Elizabeth.
23:44The guards will have to believe me if you're on my side.
23:46You have to believe me.
23:48I believe you.
23:49My God.
23:52I love you, Will.
23:53I love you.
23:56You shouldn't have run, Daniel.
23:59I don't think you know how serious this is.
24:04I hate myself for this.
24:06You love me too.
24:07I know you do.
24:08The way we felt about each other when we were dancing.
24:10But, Daniel, you're 19.
24:12Don't patronise me, Elizabeth.
24:14You think I'm only a child?
24:15I'm not patronising you.
24:17Just think about it, Daniel.
24:18You misunderstood what happened that night.
24:20You read too much into it.
24:23What happened to the dance shouldn't have happened.
24:27Please, try to see it from my point of view.
24:30I have children, responsibilities.
24:33I can't tell you how wretched I feel about others, and I'm not going to run away from what I've
24:38done.
24:39But it was never what you thought, Daniel.
24:42Oh, you've got to understand.
24:44These things do happen sometimes.
24:46They pass.
24:47But it wasn't just something that happened.
24:49I know you feel the same way I do, Elizabeth.
24:51I know you do.
24:52We both felt it, and it won't pass.
24:54Please, concentrate.
24:55You're in terrible, terrible trouble.
24:58Now, since I have to take some of the blame, no, all of the blame for this mess you're in,
25:03I'm going to help you all I can.
25:06I'll go to the guards.
25:08They'll believe me.
25:11The only thing that matters to me is you, Elizabeth.
25:15I'm so sorry, Daniel.
25:20Look, one thing at a time.
25:21You're soaked.
25:22It can't be good for you.
25:24Stay here a minute.
25:25I'll go into the house and get you some clean, dry clothes and a bit of food.
25:29And a blanket.
25:30You can stay here for the night.
25:31Elizabeth, don't go, please.
25:32Just be a minute.
25:33Stay calm.
25:34I'll go to the guards first thing in the morning.
25:39Glad to hear it, Mrs. Scullard.
25:42I apologise if, in watching your house, we alarmed you, Mrs. Scullard.
25:46Would you have to see that from our point of view?
25:49We had to.
25:51It was logical he'd arrive there sooner or later.
25:55It's almost dinner time.
25:57Can we offer you something to eat?
25:58No, thank you.
26:04Now, to go back to your son and his injury.
26:07We've already gone over this.
26:08It happened during a fight.
26:11I'm sure Neely never wanted to.
26:13Rather a violent man, your husband.
26:15He could be at times.
26:18And provoked, for instance.
26:20What do you mean by that?
26:23Look, I came here voluntarily to this police station inspector.
26:27Not to discuss my late husband's personality.
26:31But to tell you that I don't believe that Daniel McCarthy deliberately killed him.
26:36With your respect, I don't believe that was a question I asked you, Mrs. Scullard.
26:40It's what you believe, isn't it?
26:43Look, I admit that the circumstances look bad for Daniel.
26:47But you don't have any actual proof, do you?
26:51Do I not?
26:54Do you?
26:58Tell me, Mrs. Scullard.
27:01Why was he in your yard last night?
27:03I don't like your inference, inspector.
27:07Look, Daniel McCarthy is very young.
27:10He's just a boy.
27:12Exactly.
27:15And I am Neely's widow.
27:19Surely I, of all people, would like to see my husband's killer punished
27:23if I thought it was deliberate murder.
27:27And if, and I say if, that proved to be the case.
27:32And if this murder proved to be young McCarthy,
27:35would you want to see him hanged?
27:54And if, that's true.
28:00Number 10 bit more.
28:21I came to see if you need help with the animals.
28:27Why?
28:30Until you come to a permanent arrangement.
28:35I can start with the milking.
28:39Look, I know about Danny McCarthy being arrested here last night.
28:45I'm sorry that had to happen to you.
28:48On top of all this.
28:50I mean it.
28:53I'm sorry.
28:56Thank you for the offer of help.
28:58I'll pay you, of course.
29:02Of course.
29:08One thing, Mossy.
29:13What you did at the graveyard.
29:16I acted like a Christian in the graveyard, that's all.
29:20I did what anyone in my position would have done.
29:36Here we go.
29:41There we go.
29:47Let's do it.
29:48I did not do it.
29:49There we go.
29:49Let's do it.
29:50Let's do it.
29:53Oh, my God.
29:55Sister.
29:56Sister.
29:59Hello, Francie.
30:03Hello there.

43:45this witness now wishes to amend
43:47his sworn statement is this the case mr. Sheen yes your lordship before we come
43:55now exactly to what you now say you saw mr. Sheen would it be fair to ask why
44:02you've waited until now to come forward the dead man and I were not exactly
44:07friendly and I was well known in the district I was afraid I'd be a suspect
44:15so what changed your mind could you enlighten us as to precisely when you
44:20found yourself setting off for Damascus the case this morning looked as if it was
44:27gone very badly I couldn't let the boy be condemned I had to find the courage very
44:34admirable I'm sure now could you tell his lordship and the jury what is your
44:41relationship with the widow of the deceased
44:46mrs. Scullard is my nearest neighbor she has a lot of young children so I'm
44:54helping with her stock till she sorts things out and she pays you for this
44:59so-called help does she not yes she does and your story your current story
45:07conforms with that of the widow and the boy himself is that not so yes is there any
45:14possibility that the sudden conversion that you've now undergone in this matter
45:18might have been the result of coaching what as we've heard from the other
45:22witnesses to the fracas at the dance mrs. Scullard is demonstrably a very
45:28persuasive woman I beg your pardon has anyone at all told you what to say paid
45:36you perhaps absolutely not but you are a paid employee of the deceased's widow are
45:41you not yes I am for the benefit of his lordship and the jury and could you now
45:49describe exactly where you were standing when you witnessed the fight between the
45:54deceased and the accused I came upon it as they were struggling together I was
45:59quite close you know you are under oath mr. Sheehan I know what I saw
