1. And when I first came to town
Copy !req
2. They bought me drinks a'plenty
Copy !req
3. Now they've changed their tune
Copy !req
4. Hand me the bottles empty
Copy !req
5. And if I was where I would be...
Copy !req
6. All of you, gather round!
I have things to say!
Copy !req
7. Get out here in the yard, all of you!
Copy !req
8. Last night, men of poor judgment
Copy !req
9. elected to leave open
the gates to this yard
Copy !req
10. to allow men of poor character
to get inside.
Copy !req
11. These men of poor character
Copy !req
12. call themselves
the Irish Republican Brotherhood.
Copy !req
13. But, as you can see,
Copy !req
14. they're no brothers of ours.
Copy !req
15. Now, some of you will know
Copy !req
16. who unlocked the gates and left them open.
Copy !req
17. Yesterday, men of my own religion,
Copy !req
18. some Catholic men and women,
Copy !req
19. tried to disrupt the funeral of a man
Copy !req
20. to whom we owe a debt of gratitude.
Copy !req
21. These Fenians will use
any excuse to divide us,
Copy !req
22. to separate the one from the other,
the green from the orange.
Copy !req
23. I used due force to remove them,
Copy !req
24. nothing more.
Copy !req
25. A chain is only as strong
as its weakest link,
Copy !req
26. and we have some weak links among us.
Copy !req
27. Someone knows someone
Copy !req
28. who knows someone
Copy !req
29. who knows someone
Copy !req
30. who... knows someone.
Copy !req
31. And that someone
Copy !req
32. we must identify.
Copy !req
33. The walls to the lavatory over there
Copy !req
34. that were built by the late Sir Benjamin
for us, for our comfort and dignity,
Copy !req
35. they are white walls.
Copy !req
36. The remains of our barrels... is black ash.
Copy !req
37. Any of yous who know
who left open the gates
Copy !req
38. will write the names of those men,
in black ash,
Copy !req
39. on the white walls of the shithouse.
Copy !req
40. You will do this behind a locked door
Copy !req
41. so you can do God's work anonymously.
Copy !req
42. The culprits whose names are written
Copy !req
43. will be dealt with according to God's law.
Copy !req
44. Until the culprits' names
appear on the walls of the lavatory,
Copy !req
45. there will be quarter-day shifts.
Copy !req
46. Due to the shortage of barrels.
Copy !req
47. And your pay will reflect
the three-quarter cut.
Copy !req
48. I can see that I've made myself clear.
Copy !req
49. Use the chains that I dragged up here
Copy !req
50. to secure the back gates to the cooperage.
Copy !req
51. Sorry.
Copy !req
52. Before we begin,
Copy !req
53. let me offer my sincerest condolences
to you all for your grievous loss.
Copy !req
54. But now Sir Benjamin has been interred
and accepted into heaven,
Copy !req
55. it is time to settle his affairs.
Copy !req
56. First, let me inform you that,
along with the brewery estate,
Copy !req
57. there is, in Sir Benjamin's
personal accounts,
Copy !req
58. a total in accrued savings
Copy !req
59. of £1,100,000.
Copy !req
60. This, along with
the entirety of his estate,
Copy !req
61. buildings, industries, ships, locomotives,
Copy !req
62. goods yards, houses and land
Copy !req
63. will be distributed among you all
gathered here today.
Copy !req
64. For further clarity,
Copy !req
65. all reference to land and estates
Copy !req
66. in this last will and testament
that I am about to read
Copy !req
67. will consist of the following
residences and tracts.
Copy !req
68. The Ashford estate in Connacht,
the Doon estate, the Cong estate,
Copy !req
69. substantial land holdings in Connemara,
Copy !req
70. large parts of County Kerry,
Copy !req
71. the Rosshill estate,
Copy !req
72. the parish of Kilcrohane.
Copy !req
73. I know I've been pissed for four years,
but I thought it's just Ashford and Doon.
Copy !req
74. Shh.
Copy !req
75. estate of Iveagh House
at St. Stephen's Green,
Copy !req
76. St. Anne's estate at Dublin Bay,
Copy !req
77. and, of course,
the brewery of St. James's Gate,
Copy !req
78. leased to the Guinness family
for an annual fee of £45
Copy !req
79. for 9,000 years,
Copy !req
80. along with the perpetual right to take
and to keep water, fish and eels
Copy !req
81. from the River Liffey,
and to use it as a gateway to the world.
Copy !req
82. Understood. Get on with it.
Copy !req
83. Shh...
Copy !req
84. Now, to the division.
Copy !req
85. Before the land estates,
the will deals first with the brewery.
Copy !req
86. This is his testament.
Copy !req
87. "I, Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness,
hereby give, devise, and bequeath
Copy !req
88. all my said brewery concerns
Copy !req
89. to my eldest son,
Copy !req
90. Arthur Edward Guinness,
Copy !req
91. and to Edward Cecil Guinness,
Copy !req
92. jointly and equally."
Copy !req
93. "And I direct that said premises
so left and bequeathed to them
Copy !req
94. shall belong to and be held
by them and them alone."
Copy !req
95. "And I, Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness,
earnestly hope that my said sons..."
Copy !req
96. Said sons only.
Copy !req
97. "... shall continue to carry on
the said brewery business,
Copy !req
98. carried on in the same place
by their ancestors for so many years."
Copy !req
99. "However,
Copy !req
100. in case either of those two sons
shall unfortunately decline to take to
Copy !req
101. or to carry on the said business,
Copy !req
102. I will and direct that the said
brewery concerns in their entirety
Copy !req
103. will be given to the brother who remains
and does wish to continue."
Copy !req
104. "The brewery shall not be divided
or broken up or given to others,
Copy !req
105. and I direct that if any
of the said two sons,
Copy !req
106. Edward or Arthur,
Copy !req
107. do decide to decline or retire
from said brewing business,
Copy !req
108. then that brother shall
Copy !req
109. forfeit everything."
Copy !req
110. "In other words,
Copy !req
111. all divisions and bequests,
including land and property,
Copy !req
112. shall be removed from any brother
Copy !req
113. who chooses to leave
the business of brewing."
Copy !req
114. "As to my daughter, Anne,
since she is legally married
Copy !req
115. and in the care of an honorable gentleman,
Reverend William Plunket,
Copy !req
116. I have no expectation that she might
want to exercise any influence on
Copy !req
117. or expect any partnership in
any part of the brewing business."
Copy !req
118. "And, since she is the ward
of her husband, neither do I expect
Copy !req
119. that she will be in want of residences
or land either here or in England."
Copy !req
120. "She will, of course, have access
Copy !req
121. to all of the above-mentioned
estates and parishes
Copy !req
122. at the discretion
of her eldest brother, Arthur."
Copy !req
123. Of course.
Copy !req
124. "Now,
Copy !req
125. to my son Benjamin."
Copy !req
126. "Having sought advice from God
and from professionals in London,
Copy !req
127. I feel it wise not to burden Benjamin
Copy !req
128. with the temptations
that come with fortune."
Copy !req
129. Gone is the day
Copy !req
130. "I instead bequeath to him a controlled
income from a monthly bursary,
Copy !req
131. and the level of that monthly income..."
Copy !req
132. Gone is the day, gone is the night
Copy !req
133. Gone is the day
Copy !req
134. Fuck!
Copy !req
135. Fuck.
Copy !req
136. "To my cousin, Henry Grattan,
I will and direct that all bequests
Copy !req
137. towards his missionary work
be at the discretion of my eldest son,
Copy !req
138. Arthur Edward Guinness."
Copy !req
139. Gone is the day, gone is the night
Copy !req
140. Gone is the day
Copy !req
141. It's gone, it's gone, it's gone
It's gone, it's gone, it's gone
Copy !req
142. It's gone, it's gone...
Copy !req
143. Ben, are you all right?
Copy !req
144. I'm naked,
Copy !req
145. alone,
Copy !req
146. stolen from,
Copy !req
147. and shot through the heart.
Copy !req
148. What have you got to remedy that?
Copy !req
149. We've got the good stuff in the back.
Copy !req
150. Come on.
Copy !req
151. Also,
Copy !req
152. Bonnie Champion wants to see you.
Copy !req
153. It's all right.
Copy !req
154. Mr. Champion is tranquil with the state
of your gambling account.
Copy !req
155. He just wants to have a conversation
Copy !req
156. about one of your brothers.
Copy !req
157. Come on, Ben, me boy.
Copy !req
158. Where are they?
Copy !req
159. Arthur is busy, but he's late back.
Copy !req
160. Benjamin, of course, I have no idea.
Copy !req
161. But where am I, in all this?
Copy !req
162. Well, it seems you are married.
Copy !req
163. And so...
Copy !req
164. Do you not see the miracle of it, Eddie?
Copy !req
165. Our father has managed to bequeath
millions in money and land
Copy !req
166. and yet make all of us unhappy.
Copy !req
167. Well, at least in that,
he was even-handed.
Copy !req
168. - Do you think he knew about me?
- Knew what about you?
Copy !req
169. You know, that I am capable of things.
Copy !req
170. That I am not this lady
ministering and swishing.
Copy !req
171. - And looking down from great heights.
- Father would never have dreamed...
Copy !req
172. He has tied you to Arthur
and has tied me to my husband
Copy !req
173. because I have no alternative.
Copy !req
174. You had no alternative anyway.
Copy !req
175. And your search... for an alternative
Copy !req
176. was, to say the least, reckless.
Copy !req
177. Unsuitable is the kindest word
I can use for it.
Copy !req
178. You mean the man
who caught me when I fell.
Copy !req
179. I fell, and he caught me and laid me down.
Copy !req
180. - I don't need details.
- None of it was planned.
Copy !req
181. We should talk about the practicalities.
Copy !req
182. Nothing is practical.
Copy !req
183. I didn't know you had arrived, madam.
Is there anything you need?
Copy !req
184. Privacy... above all else.
Copy !req
185. And discretion, thank you.
Copy !req
186. Lately,
Copy !req
187. since getting married,
but not, I think, because of it,
Copy !req
188. I have been feeling
out of control with myself.
Copy !req
189. My mind, I mean.
Copy !req
190. And also my body.
Copy !req
191. Have you noticed anything
in the way that I move?
Copy !req
192. - The way I walk?
- Have you seen Dr. Ray?
Copy !req
193. I wish to God I had a sister.
Copy !req
194. My mind is pretty full at the moment
Copy !req
195. with things that need
practical consideration.
Copy !req
196. I have seen Dr. Ray,
Copy !req
197. and I told him that,
Copy !req
198. when we are out on the estate
and my husband is shooting pheasants,
Copy !req
199. I have a strong desire to tear the heads
off the pheasants with my teeth.
Copy !req
200. Shoots can be pretty... tedious.
Copy !req
201. To tear off my clothes.
Copy !req
202. Annie...
Copy !req
203. And also, I am short of breath
by the fifth stair on the grand entrance,
Copy !req
204. and it used to be the 20th.
Copy !req
205. Dr. Ray took some blood.
He's carrying out tests.
Copy !req
206. And I cannot leave Dublin
because I am a cat.
Copy !req
207. A cat?
Copy !req
208. Yes.
Copy !req
209. Who longs to be on the rooftops.
Copy !req
210. What a day this is, Eddie.
Copy !req
211. When we all find out what's what.
Copy !req
212. So you said something
about practicalities.
Copy !req
213. Judgment Day.
Copy !req
214. Well, if this is Judgment Day,
Copy !req
215. there's a few around here
that are facing the gates of hell.
Copy !req
216. Yes.
Copy !req
217. Especially Bonnie Champion.
Copy !req
218. You said he wanted to see me?
Copy !req
219. Look, Bonnie.
Copy !req
220. I know I owe you money I can't repay, but
Copy !req
221. if this little bit of theater
is meant to scare me...
Copy !req
222. I'm not afraid.
Copy !req
223. If you're gonna kill me, give me a weapon,
and let's make a fight of it.
Copy !req
224. What's got into the boy today?
Copy !req
225. He says it's Judgment Day.
Copy !req
226. Hmm...
Copy !req
227. Bring us out a bottle of whiskey.
Copy !req
228. Two glasses.
Copy !req
229. Last night,
Copy !req
230. before the storm,
Copy !req
231. I had some fine-looking Fenian woman
come to me...
Copy !req
232. asking after secrets,
Copy !req
233. expensive secrets
involving your brother Arthur.
Copy !req
234. So how was it?
Copy !req
235. I am... confined.
Copy !req
236. - What does that mean?
- Fuck.
Copy !req
237. Arthur.
Copy !req
238. I would have nothing if I go.
Copy !req
239. I am obliged.
Copy !req
240. Utterly without alternative
other than to have nothing.
Copy !req
241. Obliged? What... what are you talking about?
Copy !req
242. - I must stay and run the business.
- In Dublin?
Copy !req
243. Well, where else?
Copy !req
244. - You said you'd sell to your brother.
- My father knew that's what I'd do.
Copy !req
245. - So he prevented me.
- How can he?
Copy !req
246. You know fucking nothing about
how any of these things work.
Copy !req
247. - I am a lawyer.
- I mean families.
Copy !req
248. My family.
Copy !req
249. Secrets.
Copy !req
250. Ways of discovering secrets.
Copy !req
251. Ice-cold houses in the middle of nowhere
filled with locked fucking boxes.
Copy !req
252. Should we go somewhere for a drink?
Copy !req
253. And be seen?
Copy !req
254. I've been left places
all across the South and in Dublin Bay.
Copy !req
255. You mean stay here?
Copy !req
256. Wouldn't be so bad.
Copy !req
257. A view of the bay.
Copy !req
258. A house.
Copy !req
259. Every morning, there's another report
Copy !req
260. of another outbreak of cholera
in the South.
Copy !req
261. The most important thing
is your precious health?
Copy !req
262. - What is more precious?
- Love, Michael.
Copy !req
263. - The air in here is making me sick.
- Michael, please wait.
Copy !req
264. Michael.
Copy !req
265. Arthur, you will never escape
from your name.
Copy !req
266. Does he look drunk?
Copy !req
267. Drunks rarely look drunk.
Copy !req
268. Fuck.
Copy !req
269. You and Arthur must be generous with him.
Copy !req
270. Where the fuck is Arthur?
Copy !req
271. Well, perhaps he's boarded
a ship for America.
Copy !req
272. I imagine if he emigrated,
you would feel unburdened.
Copy !req
273. "Bear ye one another's burdens
Copy !req
274. and fulfil the will of Christ."
Copy !req
275. Galatians chapter 6, verse 2.
Copy !req
276. In my darkness, since the will was read,
Copy !req
277. I have resorted to the Bible, Annie.
Copy !req
278. But then, head bowed,
a different kind of revelation came.
Copy !req
279. A practical solution.
Copy !req
280. And it involves you, Annie.
I have a very important task for you.
Copy !req
281. What important task
could a mere sister possibly do?
Copy !req
282. Now that we are running the company,
Copy !req
283. Arthur and I
will both need suitable wives.
Copy !req
284. You have connections
in all the branches of the family.
Copy !req
285. You know so many people,
including on the banking side.
Copy !req
286. And you want me to decide who is suitable?
Copy !req
287. Aunt Agnes will help you.
Copy !req
288. And "suitable" for you
Copy !req
289. would be a level-headed cousin
who would help run the business.
Copy !req
290. And for Arthur,
Copy !req
291. an impoverished but titled countess
who will abhor trade
Copy !req
292. and keep him away from the business.
Copy !req
293. Edward, as well as the idea of me
finding you both a wife being absurd,
Copy !req
294. there is the added complication to it
regarding Arthur.
Copy !req
295. I wonder if you are aware of it.
Copy !req
296. The complication.
Copy !req
297. Which, of course, I am aware of.
Copy !req
298. Makes it all the more urgent
that you find him a wife.
Copy !req
299. A wife who is also
aware of the complication
Copy !req
300. and who understands
that certain sacrifices must be made
Copy !req
301. in pursuit of reputation.
Copy !req
302. Am I making myself clear?
Copy !req
303. On this, your first day of power,
and so soon, Edward,
Copy !req
304. I'm afraid you are
making yourself very clear.
Copy !req
305. Benjamin.
Copy !req
306. Fuck.
Copy !req
307. We thought
a few sober words of reflection first.
Copy !req
308. Dear, responsible,
Copy !req
309. sensible Eddie...
Copy !req
310. I'm afraid it's too late
for sober reflection.
Copy !req
311. I have been at the pub
with some very disreputable people,
Copy !req
312. who told me... to tell you...
Copy !req
313. now that the new regime is in place,
Copy !req
314. the House of Guinness
Copy !req
315. is about to come crashing down
Copy !req
316. around your ears.
Copy !req
317. Unless someone pays someone...
Copy !req
318. a rather large sum of money.
Copy !req
319. What are you talking about, Benjamin?
Copy !req
320. Where is Arthur?
Copy !req
321. You see, boys...
Copy !req
322. I've seen your three names up there
on the shithouse wall in black and white.
Copy !req
323. Just some old Prods with grievances.
They wrote our names there.
Copy !req
324. So, I have found
the weak links in our chain.
Copy !req
325. But, in all honesty,
Copy !req
326. you fucking bits of meat
are not my real concern.
Copy !req
327. Any one of yous, tell me who it was
Copy !req
328. who directed you to leave the back gate
of the cooperage unlocked.
Copy !req
329. We don't know. We have no idea.
Copy !req
330. Jesus!
Copy !req
331. No!
Copy !req
332. Please, no.
Copy !req
333. Give me a name.
Copy !req
334. Sweet Mary, Mother of God...
Copy !req
335. I don't know.
Copy !req
336. Use your mouth wisely
Copy !req
337. or lose the use of it.
Copy !req
338. I didn't open the gates, but I know
the name of the man who did.
Copy !req
339. Give me the name.
Copy !req
340. We built the fire to send
smoke signals to the Guinness family.
Copy !req
341. The fire in the brewery
will send sparks across Ireland
Copy !req
342. that will ignite a rising.
Copy !req
343. The unionist Guinnesses will know
something is brewing.
Copy !req
344. - They'll not know what's hit them.
- Sláinte.
Copy !req
345. Let's drink to that.
Copy !req
346. Get everybody out!
Copy !req
347. How does it feel, Mr. Cochrane,
Copy !req
348. to be the one putting out the flames?
Copy !req
349. I spoke to my colleagues at the brewery
and asked them for information,
Copy !req
350. which they gave gladly.
Copy !req
351. I then spoke to the men
who you prevailed upon
Copy !req
352. to risk their lives for you.
Copy !req
353. And how are their lives?
Copy !req
354. Mm.
Copy !req
355. They live.
Copy !req
356. Not part of the family anymore.
Copy !req
357. And perhaps they'll have trouble
chewing their food from now on.
Copy !req
358. But they can speak well enough to warn
others not to do business with Fenians.
Copy !req
359. Now, I came here for a conversation,
but not with you.
Copy !req
360. I understand you're not exactly
the supreme intellect
Copy !req
361. in your organization.
Copy !req
362. I want you to give this
to your sister, Ellen.
Copy !req
363. I believe she is the architect
of your republican castles in the clouds.
Copy !req
364. If it's my sister you want, why didn't you
hand the letter to her yourself?
Copy !req
365. Oh, I had an associate go see your sister
at the house where she dwells.
Copy !req
366. My associate will be giving her
a very forthright message,
Copy !req
367. even as we speak.
Copy !req
368. What the fuck are you talking about?
Copy !req
369. I'll tell you what I'm talking about.
Copy !req
370. I fight fire with fire.
Copy !req
371. Now, you run along with that letter
to your sister at 54 Donegal Street.
Copy !req
372. The letter will explain to her
why her house has,
Copy !req
373. as of... one minute ago,
Copy !req
374. just been set on fire.
Copy !req
375. And I hope to God
my boys checked if she wasn't upstairs
Copy !req
376. before they put that bottle
through her letter box.
Copy !req
377. She lives in a boarding house!
Copy !req
378. There's a family down the stairs!
Copy !req
379. Well, then you'd better run along
and make sure they're all alright,
Copy !req
380. hadn't you, Mr. Cochrane?
Copy !req
381. Look out, please!
Copy !req
382. Move!
Copy !req
383. Watch where you're going!
Copy !req
384. Eejit!
Copy !req
385. Ah, Jesus!
Copy !req
386. Bastards.
Copy !req
387. Ellen, it's your brother.
Copy !req
388. Tell him to go away.
Copy !req
389. Go away, you bonehead.
Copy !req
390. Oh God... Ellen.
Copy !req
391. Ellen.
Copy !req
392. What is it?
Copy !req
393. I have a message for you.
Copy !req
394. - From who?
- Mr. Rafferty, the Almighty.
Copy !req
395. What does it say?
Copy !req
396. It's not addressed to you. Go away.
Copy !req
397. Ellen. Ellen!
Copy !req
398. He threatened to burn this house down.
Tell me what it says.
Copy !req
399. You struck the first fucking match.
Copy !req
400. Now the fires will spread.
Copy !req
401. I'll read it to you.
Copy !req
402. "Dear Miss Cochrane,
Copy !req
403. I understand you've been making inquiries
Copy !req
404. regarding certain personal matters
about members of a particular family."
Copy !req
405. - Writes like he's hopping over hot coals.
- Go on.
Copy !req
406. "I would like to remind you
Copy !req
407. that family business
is the business of no one else."
Copy !req
408. "To pry is to spy."
Copy !req
409. "To spy is a low form of combat."
Copy !req
410. "I would ask
that you desist in your inquiries,
Copy !req
411. and I'll remind you of the words
of the great Benjamin Franklin."
Copy !req
412. What words?
Copy !req
413. "In order for three people
to keep a secret,
Copy !req
414. two of them must be dead."
Copy !req
415. "Yours in deadly earnest,
Copy !req
416. SL Rafferty, Esquire."
Copy !req
417. Did Benjamin Franklin really say that?
Copy !req
418. How the fuck would I know?
Copy !req
419. Nah. No, you're burning evidence!
Copy !req
420. We go to the police, do we, bonehead?
Copy !req
421. Tell the Dublin police to investigate
Copy !req
422. and apply the law evenly
to the Guinness family?
Copy !req
423. It's gonna be okay.
I'm writing a letter of me own.
Copy !req
424. A letter?
Copy !req
425. To who?
Copy !req
426. You leave this to me, right?
Copy !req
427. Don't go striking any more matches.
Copy !req
428. I'm sorry, Ellen,
Copy !req
429. that I lit the fire. I...
Copy !req
430. I just... have hot blood.
Copy !req
431. Come here, you bonehead.
Copy !req
432. This new era... these new Guinnesses,
Copy !req
433. it's opportunity and terrible danger
in equal measure.
Copy !req
434. And if we don't cool our blood,
they will spill it.
Copy !req
435. Go on.
Copy !req
436. They're here. Get out.
Copy !req
437. Fuck!
Copy !req
438. - Eejit!
- I'm sorry, sir.
Copy !req
439. - Just leave it. Move.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
440. Smart old bugger.
Copy !req
441. Let's see how quickly they fuck it all up.
Copy !req
442. Sirs.
Copy !req
443. The map you requested.
Copy !req
444. The gentleman at Fred Sutton and Company
who drew it up
Copy !req
445. left word that he's happy
to talk to you and arrange access
Copy !req
446. to any of the marked properties
Copy !req
447. whenever you see fit.
Copy !req
448. This rug has moved.
Copy !req
449. This has just been spilled.
It's still wet.
Copy !req
450. The idiot boy, the clerk.
Copy !req
451. The clerk spilt the ink
and then put the rug over it?
Copy !req
452. The clerk spilt the ink.
Copy !req
453. But you put the rug over it.
Copy !req
454. Thus ruining the underside
of the rug as well.
Copy !req
455. - It's just a rug.
- No, it's not a rug.
Copy !req
456. Arthur, it's... it's a principle.
Copy !req
457. I notice things, details,
and I value honesty.
Copy !req
458. I will get it cleaned up, sir.
Copy !req
459. And you will learn.
Copy !req
460. Things are changing here.
Copy !req
461. You don't want to cover things up,
Mr. Guinness, no?
Copy !req
462. When we are finished, clean the rug,
then I'll give you ten minutes of my time
Copy !req
463. to explain some new ideas to you.
Copy !req
464. Mistakes will no longer be covered over.
Copy !req
465. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
466. Dear God, Edward, power electrifies you.
Copy !req
467. We must begin work on all of these places
we didn't know we had.
Copy !req
468. - I'd suggest—
- Weekend at each, perhaps?
Copy !req
469. - Weekend?
- Invite friends.
Copy !req
470. What friends?
Arthur, do you see me with any friends?
Copy !req
471. Actually, no.
Copy !req
472. For five years,
I've been running the brewery.
Copy !req
473. The brewing process, Arthur,
cannot be allowed to stop.
Copy !req
474. It is like breathing in and breathing out.
Copy !req
475. If you stop, you die.
Copy !req
476. No weekends, Arthur.
Copy !req
477. - So we never visit any of our properties?
- Our families will mostly be in residence.
Copy !req
478. What families?
Copy !req
479. The ones we will start very soon,
as is the custom for men in our position.
Copy !req
480. It's... it's like there's...
a narcotic in you, suddenly.
Copy !req
481. Our wives, perhaps children,
all their staff,
Copy !req
482. horses, dogs... you know,
all the things that... that families have.
Copy !req
483. Now, I suggest we ask Anne
to visit the properties
Copy !req
484. and to make an inventory of what we have.
Copy !req
485. She really seems eager to do something.
Copy !req
486. Why do you talk about
wives and families in that way?
Copy !req
487. So it's agreed.
Copy !req
488. We ask Anne to visit the properties,
starting with the castle in Galway.
Copy !req
489. And with that settled,
you and I together, we two gods,
Copy !req
490. we study...
Copy !req
491. an altogether more important map.
Copy !req
492. Come, brother, and look at the future.
Copy !req
493. I have decided upon a strategy.
Copy !req
494. Without consulting me?
Copy !req
495. Yes, many things need to be settled
and dealt with, which reminds me,
Copy !req
496. we have a meeting... in one hour,
at the brewery with Mr. Rafferty.
Copy !req
497. Mr. Rafferty? What about?
Copy !req
498. He has received anonymous letters
containing... accusations.
Copy !req
499. - What accusations?
- Local and domestic.
Copy !req
500. Things that can be dealt with.
Copy !req
501. Now, let me tell you
how I intend to conquer America.
Copy !req
502. Phase one, New York.
Copy !req
503. - Agnes.
- Oh, Anne.
Copy !req
504. Oh, Anne.
Copy !req
505. Look at you.
Copy !req
506. It was so daring of your father
Copy !req
507. to give the business
to the two sons equally
Copy !req
508. and to hold them
to their responsibilities.
Copy !req
509. So compassionate of him
to leave Benjamin with nothing.
Copy !req
510. And you...
Copy !req
511. with your marriage to keep you warm.
Copy !req
512. You said you wanted to see me.
Copy !req
513. Your brother Edward asked me
to give you this.
Copy !req
514. Those are potential wives for Edward
that I have identified.
Copy !req
515. He favors a cousin or a second cousin
because he wants a woman he can trust
Copy !req
516. and who already knows how mad we all are.
Copy !req
517. So then perhaps
Edward himself should go out
Copy !req
518. and find a woman he can trust
who knows how mad we all are.
Copy !req
519. Edward is going to be far, far too busy
Copy !req
520. doing the work of two men to do that,
so, I rather thought
Copy !req
521. you and I could do it for him.
Copy !req
522. It'll be fun.
Copy !req
523. I already spoke to Edward
Copy !req
524. and told him no.
Copy !req
525. No?
Copy !req
526. Goodness.
Copy !req
527. Anne, perhaps you're not aware
of the change that took place
Copy !req
528. when the will was read out.
Copy !req
529. Arthur and Edward now own the brewery.
Copy !req
530. They are also
now joint heads of the family.
Copy !req
531. Meaning I do as they tell me to do.
Copy !req
532. They will need help.
Copy !req
533. Men are easily fooled.
Copy !req
534. Rich men attract clever women.
Copy !req
535. Clever is a good thing.
Copy !req
536. Remember, whoever Edward marries
will become one of us.
Copy !req
537. We will have to live with the choice.
Copy !req
538. I have plans.
Copy !req
539. Mm.
Copy !req
540. What absurd times we live in.
Copy !req
541. Women with plans.
Copy !req
542. And also,
Copy !req
543. I know how it feels
Copy !req
544. to accept and endure...
a marriage that was arranged for you
Copy !req
545. by people who thought
it was for the good of both parties.
Copy !req
546. Oh, Anne.
Copy !req
547. You are a wave crashing against a rock,
Copy !req
548. but the rock is made of gold bands
and diamond engagement rings.
Copy !req
549. I was also a wave
crashing against my fate once,
Copy !req
550. and eventually the roaring storm
settled down into a glass
Copy !req
551. and became a glass of gin.
Copy !req
552. Untroubled.
Copy !req
553. Cooled by ice.
Copy !req
554. Forgetful.
Copy !req
555. Let's we two pick out someone
Copy !req
556. who will tolerate
your brother's infuriating certainty.
Copy !req
557. We can drink lots of gin
Copy !req
558. and say rude things
about our country cousins.
Copy !req
559. And what about Arthur?
Copy !req
560. You are planning
to find a wife for him too.
Copy !req
561. Of course.
Copy !req
562. But this will be more difficult.
Copy !req
563. More... strategic.
Copy !req
564. More dangerous.
Copy !req
565. A list of women who are pretty,
privileged, and penniless.
Copy !req
566. We need someone
who comes to Arthur for the money
Copy !req
567. rather than the companionship.
Copy !req
568. Sees it as a job.
Copy !req
569. What do you say, Anne?
Copy !req
570. Let's do this together.
Copy !req
571. Let's raise a toast to the matchmakers.
Copy !req
572. Good.
Copy !req
573. Arthur, this way.
Copy !req
574. - Why are we not meeting him in his office?
- I am planning a formal introduction.
Copy !req
575. I will introduce you to all of the staff
on Monday morning.
Copy !req
576. Don't worry, there'll be tea and cakes.
Copy !req
577. But tonight's business
Copy !req
578. will be conducted away from prying eyes.
Copy !req
579. - Good to see you, sir.
- Good evening to you.
Copy !req
580. Leave us.
Copy !req
581. I haven't seen you for a while,
Mr. Guinness, sir.
Copy !req
582. You don't look any older.
Copy !req
583. I live a clean life
and drink lots of the black stuff,
Copy !req
584. which keeps me young.
Copy !req
585. My brother tells me there have been
some anonymous accusations.
Copy !req
586. The death of your father and establishment
of the new order at the Guinness Brewery
Copy !req
587. has served to... poke a stick
in a hornet's nest.
Copy !req
588. There was a fire at the cooperage, Arthur.
Copy !req
589. A way of testing
the resolve of the new order.
Copy !req
590. What hornets?
Copy !req
591. Two, in particular.
Copy !req
592. The first has come from the Fenians,
sent anonymously today.
Copy !req
593. A suggestion that they have proof
Copy !req
594. or witnesses who will testify
Copy !req
595. that you have been having
carnal relations with other men.
Copy !req
596. Fuck!
Copy !req
597. What proof could they possibly have?
Copy !req
598. Huh? And who would testify against us?
Copy !req
599. The other approach has come from
a gentleman called Bonnie Champion,
Copy !req
600. regarding things that happened
before you went away to London,
Copy !req
601. and since, on two occasions
after you returned.
Copy !req
602. As you know,
Copy !req
603. Bonnie Champion runs certain houses and...
Copy !req
604. Yes. I know.
Copy !req
605. I used to go there
a long time ago, before I...
Copy !req
606. Before what, Arthur?
Copy !req
607. Before
Copy !req
608. I...
Copy !req
609. met someone...
Copy !req
610. in London
Copy !req
611. who brought me peace.
Copy !req
612. Except, of course, today,
Copy !req
613. that peace was shattered...
Copy !req
614. beside a water lily.
Copy !req
615. Today, brother, we must speak plainly
Copy !req
616. and get these matters resolved.
Copy !req
617. A month and a half ago,
Copy !req
618. the Dublin assizes sentenced
a man convicted of these crimes
Copy !req
619. to 20 years' hard labor
in the Maryborough Gaol.
Copy !req
620. No consideration for family or fortune.
No exceptions.
Copy !req
621. And the Fenians would use you as proof
Copy !req
622. of a degenerate
English Protestant ruling class.
Copy !req
623. - No one has any right to tell me what—
- Arthur, we need to be practical.
Copy !req
624. And live in the world that exists,
not the one we wish existed.
Copy !req
625. If this were to be revealed...
Copy !req
626. the Guinness Brewery would be finished.
Copy !req
627. - Okay, so this is about money.
- No, this is about family, Arthur.
Copy !req
628. All the things the family has achieved.
Copy !req
629. The Fenian woman who sent the letter
started all of this.
Copy !req
630. If it wasn't for her, then Bonnie Champion
would never have had the opportunity.
Copy !req
631. Then what do they want?
Copy !req
632. Bonnie Champion wants £5,000
in return for his silence.
Copy !req
633. And what about the noble,
righteous Fenians?
Copy !req
634. If you'd finished reading the letter,
Copy !req
635. you would have seen they want a guarantee
Copy !req
636. that when you take
father's seat at Parliament...
Copy !req
637. If, Edward. If I take his seat.
Copy !req
638. that you would begin to see
the future of Ireland from a more
Copy !req
639. balanced point of view.
Copy !req
640. Fuck you!
Copy !req
641. And fuck them!
Copy !req
642. - No, to fucking hell with them!
- We need cool heads.
Copy !req
643. Oh, let them come.
Copy !req
644. Let them try.
Copy !req
645. Let them see what I am.
Copy !req
646. I will get you the £5,000 in cash
to give to Bonnie Champion.
Copy !req
647. And as for the Fenians,
I will... work on him.
Copy !req
648. The election isn't for six months,
so there is time.
Copy !req
649. This woman,
Copy !req
650. who is she anyway?
Copy !req
651. Ellen Cochrane.
Copy !req
652. She is a cut above the others, I think.
Copy !req
653. Perhaps it would be more efficient
if I should deal with her directly myself.
Copy !req
654. Make the arrangement, Mr. Rafferty.
Copy !req
655. A rendezvous with the Fenian woman
somewhere that'll impress her.
Copy !req
656. Yes, Mr. Guinness.
Copy !req
657. Oh, and by the way,
Copy !req
658. if you ever...
Copy !req
659. ever lay one hand on my poor sister again,
Copy !req
660. I will use every bit of my power
and influence in this city
Copy !req
661. to have you thrown in jail
Copy !req
662. on some charge I will concoct
Copy !req
663. that'll see you serve out
the rest of your life
Copy !req
664. on the treadmill.
Copy !req
665. Do I make myself clear?
Copy !req
666. Very clear, Mr. Guinness.
Copy !req
667. Once there was a rich man
His name it was Diviizium
Copy !req
668. Glory hallelujah hi rogerum
Copy !req
669. He held high dinners
For the swanks of Jerusalem
Copy !req
670. Glory hallelujah hi rogerum
Copy !req
671. And there was a poor man
The work he wasn't ableium
Copy !req
672. Glory hallelujah hi rogerum
Copy !req
673. He begged for the crumbs
From the rich man's a tableium
Copy !req
674. Glory hallelujah hi rogerum
Copy !req
675. Hi rogerum
Copy !req
676. Skida marink a doodle um
Skida marink a doodle um
Copy !req
677. Glory hallelujah hi rogerum
Copy !req
678. Well, now me song is ending
The truth I have to tellium
Copy !req
679. Glory hallelujah hi rogerum
Copy !req
680. And if you don't believe me
You can all go to Hellium
Copy !req
681. Glory hallelujah hi rogerum
Copy !req
682. The moral of the story is
The rich are fucking cuntiums
Copy !req
683. Glory hallelujah hi rogerum
Copy !req
684. But we're on our way to heaven
'Cause we're all stony brokium
Copy !req
685. Glory hallelujah hi rogerum
Copy !req
686. Hi rogerum, hi rogerum
Copy !req
687. Glory hallelujah hi rogerum
Copy !req
