1. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
Copy !req
2. Why are we stopping?
Copy !req
3. Who are those men?
Copy !req
4. Begging pardon, Madam Guinness.
We're about to pass through Cloonboo.
Copy !req
5. What... what is Cloonboo?
Copy !req
6. The tribe that lives in Cloonboo is
all rib and anger, if you'll forgive me.
Copy !req
7. The ones that didn't starve
or go to Boston
Copy !req
8. are fairly mad to be
stuck here and be hungry.
Copy !req
9. These men are escorts.
They'll see us through Cloonboo.
Copy !req
10. They speak no English, only Irish.
So won't trouble you for conversation.
Copy !req
11. Word gets out there's
a Guinness lady from Dublin,
Copy !req
12. some people in Cloonboo might want
a conversation with you about justice.
Copy !req
13. Who are you, me pretty fair maid?
Copy !req
14. And who are you, me honey?
Copy !req
15. Well, who are you
Me pretty fair maid?
Copy !req
16. And who are you, me honey?
Copy !req
17. She answered me class of modestly
Copy !req
18. "I am me mother's darling"
Copy !req
19. With me too-ry-ay, fol-de-diddle-day
Copy !req
20. Di-re fol-de-diddle dai-rie oh
Copy !req
21. And will you come to me mammy's house
Copy !req
22. When the moon is shining clearly?
Copy !req
23. And will ye come...
Copy !req
24. At my castle, in Macroom,
there are old prison cells,
Copy !req
25. and the corridors in our dungeons
are wider than this.
Copy !req
26. If I'd known I was coming
to visit a crofter's cottage,
Copy !req
27. I would have dressed accordingly.
Copy !req
28. This is the old part of the house, madam.
Copy !req
29. In the new part,
you could parade an elephant.
Copy !req
30. Have you ever seen an elephant?
Copy !req
31. No, madam.
Copy !req
32. They are extremely intelligent animals,
Copy !req
33. and they probably wouldn't accept
an invitation to tea
Copy !req
34. from a family that brews beer.
Copy !req
35. But... I'm here now.
Copy !req
36. How do I look?
Copy !req
37. Very good.
Copy !req
38. The brewers' butlers
at least know the rules.
Copy !req
39. Di-re fol-de-diddle dai-rie oh...
Copy !req
40. This way, madam.
Copy !req
41. There we lay till the break of the day
And divil the one did hear us
Copy !req
42. Then I arose and put on me clothes
Saying, "Darling, I must leave ya"
Copy !req
43. With me too-ry-ay, fol-de-diddle-day
Copy !req
44. Di-re fol-de-diddle dai-rie oh
Copy !req
45. Lady Olivia Charlotte Hedges-White,
Copy !req
46. daughter of the third earl of Bantry.
Copy !req
47. Before we begin, you should know
I value honesty above all else.
Copy !req
48. What lies ahead may be awkward
and embarrassing.
Copy !req
49. Let's dispense with the pretense of tea
and at least open a bottle of Madeira.
Copy !req
50. Since the House of Guinness is
famously leaky when it comes to secrets,
Copy !req
51. perhaps once the bottle is open,
we can be left to serve ourselves.
Copy !req
52. Stop!
Copy !req
53. Stop.
Copy !req
54. Stop...
Copy !req
55. Stop, stop!
Copy !req
56. - Fetch a doctor, please.
- No doctors in Cloonboo.
Copy !req
57. Then at least fetch a fucking woman.
Copy !req
58. Get out, all of you.
Copy !req
59. Shh!
Copy !req
60. I thought you Guinnesses'd bleed black.
Copy !req
61. You've lost your baby.
Copy !req
62. But it's gonna be all right.
Copy !req
63. What baby?
Copy !req
64. Arthur.
Copy !req
65. This... The, eh...
Copy !req
66. This Madeira was a gift.
Copy !req
67. We have wonderful relations
with all the English vintners in Portugal.
Copy !req
68. In the summer,
we go and stay in their castles.
Copy !req
69. The wind blows off the Atlantic,
Copy !req
70. and, well,
Copy !req
71. it smells like freedom.
Copy !req
72. I didn't know that freedom
smelled of anything.
Copy !req
73. Do you know Portugal, Lady Olivia?
Copy !req
74. As I'm sure you can imagine,
the European grand tour is
Copy !req
75. beyond the means
of the earls of Bantry these days.
Copy !req
76. Well then, Portugal would come
as a pleasant surprise.
Copy !req
77. Perhaps a place for a honeymoon
should you decide to...
Copy !req
78. to agree to our...
Copy !req
79. To agree to your what?
Copy !req
80. What are we calling it?
Copy !req
81. A proposal?
Copy !req
82. - It is a proposal.
- Does she always speak for you?
Copy !req
83. In matters of the heart.
Copy !req
84. The heart. Oh my.
Copy !req
85. - Do you shoot?
- And ride.
Copy !req
86. In London, they would laugh
at your Bantry brogue.
Copy !req
87. In London, I would adapt to the ways
of the dreadful Saxon savages.
Copy !req
88. In the letter, I think it was made clear
what kind of marriage we are offering.
Copy !req
89. Un mariage blanc.
Copy !req
90. What is your understanding
of that expression?
Copy !req
91. It means if you were to choose me,
Copy !req
92. we would marry,
Copy !req
93. and I would take your name.
Copy !req
94. But I will not be obliged
to take your cock.
Copy !req
95. Arthur, perhaps we could
speak for a moment in private.
Copy !req
96. Exactly that, Olivia.
Copy !req
97. A mariage blanc is a marriage
in form, but not in function.
Copy !req
98. Without being indelicate,
Copy !req
99. you will still be at liberty
to function in other places.
Copy !req
100. - We are rather getting ahead of ourselves.
- Yes.
Copy !req
101. I will,
Copy !req
102. from time to time, "function"
Copy !req
103. in other places...
Copy !req
104. and in my own way.
Copy !req
105. But then what about me?
Copy !req
106. A time may come
when I will want that kind of affection.
Copy !req
107. These things are normally understood,
Copy !req
108. but not said out loud.
Copy !req
109. I think Arthur and I
are both out-loud people.
Copy !req
110. If a time comes
Copy !req
111. when you... quietly,
Copy !req
112. discreetly,
Copy !req
113. decide you wish to function in—
Copy !req
114. With someone who we mutually agree is—
Copy !req
115. No, no, no.
Copy !req
116. You will not have absolute veto.
Copy !req
117. You trust my judgment.
Copy !req
118. Arthur, we must adjourn this meeting
immediately before—
Copy !req
119. Before we all start
telling the truth out loud.
Copy !req
120. Well, here it is.
Copy !req
121. If an occasion arises
when a smile reaches me,
Copy !req
122. I want assurances
that I will be at liberty to...
Copy !req
123. to fuck and forget whomsoever I choose,
so long as the servants don't find out.
Copy !req
124. Arthur, I'd remind you
there are other names on the list.
Copy !req
125. - Burn the list.
- Arthur...
Copy !req
126. In four months' time,
I will be standing for election
Copy !req
127. as a Conservative member of parliament.
Copy !req
128. At heart I am a Liberal,
but I'm sure love will prevail.
Copy !req
129. For Conservative Party functions,
Rotary balls, hunt balls,
Copy !req
130. shoot suppers, you will be by my side.
Copy !req
131. And once you are elected?
Copy !req
132. Oh, there will be grand tours.
Copy !req
133. London, Europe,
Copy !req
134. perhaps New York.
Copy !req
135. And for all of them, you will be
arm in arm with me as my dutiful wife.
Copy !req
136. I will pay your father's debts.
Copy !req
137. And you will get an annual income
Copy !req
138. of £10,000.
Copy !req
139. - Fifteen.
- Twelve.
Copy !req
140. - Fifteen it is.
- Arthur.
Copy !req
141. In that case,
Copy !req
142. proposal accepted.
Copy !req
143. Well, I had set aside
an hour and a half for this.
Copy !req
144. Followed by croquet.
Copy !req
145. There will be no croquet.
Copy !req
146. Thank God there'll be no croquet.
Copy !req
147. - Mm.
- Mm.
Copy !req
148. Ah, Mr. Guinness, sir—
Copy !req
149. No. Not now. Not now.
Copy !req
150. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
151. Have an appointment?
Copy !req
152. Byron Hedges.
Copy !req
153. Too impetuous for appointments.
Copy !req
154. I'm here about the vacant position
of international vanguard.
Copy !req
155. Then you appear to be applying for a job
which doesn't exist.
Copy !req
156. Sir...
Copy !req
157. Oh, but I believe it does exist.
Copy !req
158. But for the moment,
this vacancy only exists inside your head.
Copy !req
159. At least to begin with, it concerns
Copy !req
160. America.
Copy !req
161. Let me explain.
Copy !req
162. I have a friend who is a maid.
Copy !req
163. - What has that to do with America?
- Oh, she cleans your house, Mr. Guinness.
Copy !req
164. And... sometimes she tidies up papers
that you've left open on your desk.
Copy !req
165. Who the fuck are you?
Copy !req
166. Well, my first name is Byron,
after the poet.
Copy !req
167. Me second name is Hedges, after me father.
Copy !req
168. But my mother's name...
Copy !req
169. was Guinness.
Copy !req
170. My mother was Patricia White Guinness.
Copy !req
171. From the banking side of the family.
Copy !req
172. Patricia White Guinness had an affair.
With a... Fenian.
Copy !req
173. The horror of it.
Copy !req
174. And a bastard was born.
Copy !req
175. You.
Copy !req
176. See, I have the Guinness certainty
from me mother
Copy !req
177. and the rebel instinct from me father.
Copy !req
178. And where is America
Copy !req
179. in this wonderful tale
of a bastard's progress?
Copy !req
180. It is my predestined destination,
Cousin Edward.
Copy !req
181. Cousin?
Copy !req
182. Hmm...
Copy !req
183. You see, according to certain papers
that my friend found on your desk,
Copy !req
184. you have decided to plant
the black flag of Guinness...
Copy !req
185. in American soil.
Copy !req
186. You want to colonize the coasts,
Copy !req
187. flood the deserts,
submerge the Rockies in porter.
Copy !req
188. Not exactly how I expressed it
in my scribbles.
Copy !req
189. Ah, but in the scribbles,
there is passion.
Copy !req
190. A passion for expansion.
Copy !req
191. I've heard rumors, Cousin Edward,
Copy !req
192. that, uh, since you and your brother
have taken on this mighty leviathan,
Copy !req
193. you've decided to do things differently.
Copy !req
194. And... since I am of like mind
Copy !req
195. and, like you, an impetuous member
Copy !req
196. of the same generation of the same family,
Copy !req
197. I've already secured
a passport for travel...
Copy !req
198. and a berth
on a ship called the Magellan,
Copy !req
199. sailing from Liverpool to New York
one week from now.
Copy !req
200. I will be accommodated in New York
by my cousin in the Bowery District.
Copy !req
201. Eh... like my father, he is also a Fenian
and a member of the Fenian Brotherhood.
Copy !req
202. With whom... our relations
are very, very poor.
Copy !req
203. But you have intentions to change that.
Copy !req
204. More intelligence from your maid?
Copy !req
205. No.
Copy !req
206. Intelligence from my own intelligence.
Copy !req
207. You know as well as I do
Copy !req
208. that for the brewery to be accepted
in New York and Boston,
Copy !req
209. for your beer to even make it
through the docks,
Copy !req
210. you will need the help and approval
of the Fenian Brotherhood.
Copy !req
211. Now... bastard that I am,
Copy !req
212. I am the bridge which you can walk across
Copy !req
213. from boat to dock
without cost or commitment.
Copy !req
214. Sooner or later, you're gonna have to
make friends with the Fenians, Cousin.
Copy !req
215. We cannot give money to the Fenian rebels.
Copy !req
216. If I may be blunt...
Copy !req
217. I hear your older brother
doesn't give a fuck.
Copy !req
218. So you're going to need someone who does.
Copy !req
219. Let the legitimate
and the illegitimate sides of the family
Copy !req
220. conquer America together, Cousin Edward.
Copy !req
221. Comrades, look up at the great clock.
Copy !req
222. At one o'clock,
outside Newgate Prison in London,
Copy !req
223. our comrade Michael Barrett will be hanged
Copy !req
224. for planting a bomb in London
Copy !req
225. when five witnesses have sworn an oath
Copy !req
226. that he was in Scotland at the time.
Copy !req
227. An innocent man
lynched before a baying crowd
Copy !req
228. for a crime he did not commit.
Copy !req
229. The British tried
to starve us in the famine.
Copy !req
230. And now they wanna hang us.
Copy !req
231. He is being hanged for being
an Irishman who loves freedom.
Copy !req
232. May God bless him.
Copy !req
233. And may God damn those
who deny us our freedom!
Copy !req
234. Arrest her!
Copy !req
235. Clear the path.
Copy !req
236. Stop!
Copy !req
237. This is a peaceful, lawful protest.
You have no right.
Copy !req
238. Ellen Cochrane, come with us.
Copy !req
239. Was there something to bury?
Copy !req
240. No. It was barely two months,
barely a thing at all.
Copy !req
241. Two months...
Copy !req
242. I see time points out the father.
Copy !req
243. I didn't know.
Copy !req
244. But he knew.
Copy !req
245. He brought me here...
Copy !req
246. to punish me...
Copy !req
247. for a sin.
Copy !req
248. Are the guards still outside?
Copy !req
249. There's no need for guards.
I sent them away.
Copy !req
250. I run what's left of Cloonboo.
Copy !req
251. From the carriage,
Copy !req
252. I saw so many poor people.
Copy !req
253. So many graves.
Copy !req
254. From the Great Famine, yes?
Copy !req
255. Finish your cup.
Copy !req
256. - All those people starved to death.
- We don't talk about those things.
Copy !req
257. I'll get you something to wear underneath,
and you can finish your journey.
Copy !req
258. What is your real name?
Copy !req
259. Sultan is how I'm known.
Copy !req
260. My father left a big house
at Connacht to his children.
Copy !req
261. I am one of them.
Copy !req
262. Oh, I know who you are.
Copy !req
263. And when I feel better,
Copy !req
264. I would very much like
to come back to Cloonboo
Copy !req
265. and have you show me around.
Copy !req
266. Because I think God made this
happen here for a reason.
Copy !req
267. Perhaps he's telling me
what I should do with my life.
Copy !req
268. Oh, finish your cup,
or you'll have no life left to live.
Copy !req
269. - Come in here!
- Food! We need food in here!
Copy !req
270. Come in here, darling.
Copy !req
271. - Bring her in here.
- Get back!
Copy !req
272. Get in there, you Fenian bitch.
Copy !req
273. Are you all right?
Copy !req
274. I told them to do you no harm.
Copy !req
275. You told them?
Copy !req
276. You told the police, and they obey?
Copy !req
277. Yes.
Copy !req
278. It is the unjust reality.
Copy !req
279. Across the sea,
an innocent man was just hanged.
Copy !req
280. Twelve people died in the explosion
from the bomb he planted.
Copy !req
281. You swallow that Saxon shit
even though you're Catholic?
Copy !req
282. A tormented one.
Copy !req
283. What do you want?
Copy !req
284. Why did you bring me here?
Copy !req
285. I brought you here
to concentrate your mind.
Copy !req
286. On what?
Copy !req
287. On this.
Copy !req
288. "Mr. Edward Guinness invites you
to join him for tea
Copy !req
289. at the Imperial Hotel, Sackville Street,
this Friday at 4:00 p.m."
Copy !req
290. - The Imperial?
- For tea and cake.
Copy !req
291. And conversation.
Copy !req
292. You can tell Mr. Edward Guinness
that I have no desire for conversation.
Copy !req
293. And I have political, moral,
and gastronomical objections
Copy !req
294. to meeting at that hotel.
Copy !req
295. You don't have to eat.
Copy !req
296. They don't allow people like me in.
Copy !req
297. If you don't have a dress
suitable for the venue,
Copy !req
298. I am authorized to... help out.
Copy !req
299. Put your fucking money away.
I'm not a whore.
Copy !req
300. Ah, but, you see,
Copy !req
301. I am.
Copy !req
302. Those above me,
they give me money to protect them,
Copy !req
303. to fend for them.
Copy !req
304. I even fuck 'em when they ask.
Copy !req
305. You tell Mr. Edward Guinness
that he knows my terms of engagement.
Copy !req
306. And we Fenians will remain silent
about his brother's sexual proclivities
Copy !req
307. if his brother opens up his mind
to the Fenian cause.
Copy !req
308. You don't need tea and fucking cakes
to understand something so simple.
Copy !req
309. I think what Mr. Guinness
wants to understand is you.
Copy !req
310. He wants a new beginning.
Copy !req
311. He wants to shut me up
before the election.
Copy !req
312. I think today has proven
that if we wanted to shut you up,
Copy !req
313. you would be shut up,
Copy !req
314. in a place like this,
for a very long time.
Copy !req
315. And if the old man were alive...
Copy !req
316. Oh glory.
Copy !req
317. That is what I would have done
Copy !req
318. and not even mentioned it in confession.
Copy !req
319. But Mr. Edward Guinness
wants to hear a different point of view.
Copy !req
320. Shall I keep my money?
Copy !req
321. You make yourself at home.
Copy !req
322. Give me that fucking £5.
Copy !req
323. Come.
Copy !req
324. So?
Copy !req
325. What did you think of her?
Copy !req
326. She asked me the same question.
Copy !req
327. She asked me what I thought of her.
Copy !req
328. Of how she looked.
Copy !req
329. Mm.
Copy !req
330. And what did you say?
Copy !req
331. That, as a servant,
I have no right to an opinion,
Copy !req
332. so I said nothing.
Copy !req
333. But if you were to express an opinion
Copy !req
334. of the woman who is almost certain
to become my future wife?
Copy !req
335. It is decided?
Copy !req
336. Well, Aunt Agnes is insisting on
some due diligence regarding her lineage,
Copy !req
337. and that we both have a week
for reflection, but...
Copy !req
338. for myself, I have reflected.
Copy !req
339. Hmm.
Copy !req
340. But before then,
Copy !req
341. it is your opinion of her
that interests me.
Copy !req
342. - If I was forced—
- You are being forced.
Copy !req
343. I would say that,
after a very brief encounter,
Copy !req
344. she is rather too sharp.
Copy !req
345. That'll be all.
Copy !req
346. Mm.
Copy !req
347. And the Potter seal of disapproval
removes all doubt.
Copy !req
348. I'll go to St. Patrick's Cathedral
Copy !req
349. and speak to the dean
to make arrangements.
Copy !req
350. You prepare the maids,
the butlers, the grooms...
Copy !req
351. for a Guinness wedding.
Copy !req
352. Hmm.
Copy !req
353. Georgie.
Copy !req
354. What's this about age? What the fuck!
Copy !req
355. What does the letter say?
Copy !req
356. Yous won't fucking believe
what Rafferty just pinned to the wall.
Copy !req
357. The letter Mr. Rafferty just gave me,
Copy !req
358. it says
Copy !req
359. that when I retire from my labors
this coming Friday,
Copy !req
360. even though it will be
my 65th birthday on that day,
Copy !req
361. and I'll be too old to work...
Copy !req
362. they're going to carry on
paying me anyway.
Copy !req
363. They will carry on paying me,
Copy !req
364. even though... I'm at home by the fire
Copy !req
365. and no longer employed. Um...
Copy !req
366. The letter says it's called, um...
Copy !req
367. "an old age pension."
Copy !req
368. Mr. Rafferty, you made the announcement?
Copy !req
369. I pinned your notice on the wall,
but could not bring myself to announce it.
Copy !req
370. - It is... plain madness.
- It is the future, Mr. Rafferty.
Copy !req
371. My brother will soon stand for election,
Copy !req
372. and new electoral rules
mean that more ordinary workers
Copy !req
373. will be allowed to vote.
Copy !req
374. So you give them money for nothing?
Copy !req
375. And next week, we will announce phase two
Copy !req
376. of the new Guinness Workers'
Health and Benefits Scheme.
Copy !req
377. What the fuck is in phase two?
Copy !req
378. You've had enough shocks
for one day, Mr. Rafferty.
Copy !req
379. Yes, Father.
Copy !req
380. I am deadly serious.
Copy !req
381. Three cheers for Mr. Edward Guinness
and his mad fecking pension.
Copy !req
382. - Hip, hip...
- Hooray!
Copy !req
383. Christine?
Copy !req
384. How the hell did you get in here?
Copy !req
385. I came here to tell you that it's decided.
Copy !req
386. - What is?
- You and I.
Copy !req
387. Your father's will has left you penniless.
Copy !req
388. You will be dependent
on your brother's charity.
Copy !req
389. "Penniless" and "dependent"
are like twin tigers
Copy !req
390. which will scare away
any woman of substance
Copy !req
391. who is looking for a husband.
Copy !req
392. But if you marry me,
Copy !req
393. you won't need your father's money
or your brother's charity.
Copy !req
394. My endowment is small,
but if we are in love, we can be happy.
Copy !req
395. And we can live in London if you want.
Copy !req
396. There's a doctor, and he can help you
stop drinking and taking gas.
Copy !req
397. - I've stopped.
- I've written to him.
Copy !req
398. And he said there's
no such thing as a hopeless case.
Copy !req
399. Except when it comes to love.
Copy !req
400. When it comes to loving me, Christine,
Copy !req
401. you are a hopeless case.
Copy !req
402. Can you sit down, please?
Copy !req
403. Ah...
Copy !req
404. This afternoon, I walked,
Copy !req
405. sober and decided,
Copy !req
406. down to Portobello Barracks,
Copy !req
407. where I signed my name to this document
applying for enlistment.
Copy !req
408. My birth and my name should guarantee me
Copy !req
409. a commission and the rank of captain.
Copy !req
410. They're still reviewing the application,
Copy !req
411. but... they should look favorably
upon someone
Copy !req
412. whose name is on a million bottles.
Copy !req
413. Once, I used my name as a pass.
Copy !req
414. I have to prove
that I can do things on my own.
Copy !req
415. I'm gonna prove my father wrong.
Copy !req
416. His will
Copy !req
417. has given me purpose.
Copy !req
418. For that, I might one day thank him.
Copy !req
419. Do you have road boots?
Copy !req
420. Too big for you.
Copy !req
421. I'd like to borrow them, please.
Copy !req
422. So...
Copy !req
423. show me.
Copy !req
424. The question was, where was God?
Copy !req
425. The answer was, he was nowhere.
Copy !req
426. When my husband walked to Swinford,
Copy !req
427. in rags, to get seed,
Copy !req
428. it rained enough to baptize you.
Copy !req
429. I got a message
he got as far back as the castle.
Copy !req
430. And I found him starved to death,
Copy !req
431. covered in crows and magpies.
Copy !req
432. Three children followed him.
Copy !req
433. Donal,
Copy !req
434. Brin and Niamh.
Copy !req
435. Are your children buried here?
Copy !req
436. We were too weak to dig graves.
Copy !req
437. They dug a hole.
Copy !req
438. They left it open, and they threw them in.
Copy !req
439. When you're that hungry, you can't cry.
Copy !req
440. They gave us seed from the parish in '48,
Copy !req
441. but we were so hungry, we cooked the seed.
Copy !req
442. There was nothing left to plant.
Copy !req
443. There was typhus, dysentery.
Copy !req
444. Now, we had nothing left for rent.
Copy !req
445. So that Baron Browne
from that house your father bought,
Copy !req
446. he started the evictions.
Copy !req
447. He sent down his "Crowbar Invincibles."
Copy !req
448. Threw us into the field.
Copy !req
449. Two more children, gone.
Copy !req
450. Cait and Fionn.
Copy !req
451. Then there was the line of skeletons,
Copy !req
452. in rags, walking to Killala Quay,
Copy !req
453. where the soldiers put them
on a boat bound for Quebec.
Copy !req
454. And they were gone.
Copy !req
455. And we were left.
Copy !req
456. What else do you want me to show you?
Copy !req
457. Why did you stay here?
Copy !req
458. Settle your head, pet
Copy !req
459. Them.
Copy !req
460. Send your bones to sleep
Copy !req
461. Every moment that we rest
Copy !req
462. Brings a moment's peace
Copy !req
463. You not be missing nothing
Copy !req
464. The sunshine sleeping too
Copy !req
465. The stars are lining up, love
Copy !req
466. To watch your dreams with you
Copy !req
467. And if you make a wish on one...
Copy !req
468. When you walk... there's a step you miss.
Copy !req
469. - What?
- The way you walk.
Copy !req
470. These boots are too big for me.
Copy !req
471. Well, there's a weakness on your left.
Copy !req
472. What weakness?
Copy !req
473. When you walk,
sometimes you have to step forward.
Copy !req
474. Then, when you bend your knee,
it almost gives way.
Copy !req
475. I have felt a weakness lately.
Copy !req
476. But I had a doctor in Dublin
do tests on my blood,
Copy !req
477. and he said there was
nothing wrong with me.
Copy !req
478. Well, it's me that's wrong, so.
Copy !req
479. You should get back to your carriage.
It's going to rain.
Copy !req
480. The important thing is,
Copy !req
481. I came here to help you.
Copy !req
482. I'm planning what I can do
to help you people.
Copy !req
483. Goodnight world, goodnight
Copy !req
484. Dear Arthur and Edward,
Copy !req
485. I came to Ashford Castle
Copy !req
486. to survey the property
that our father left to us.
Copy !req
487. Along the way, I was taken ill.
Copy !req
488. For reasons I don't need to divulge,
Copy !req
489. I was held up in a village
which is part of the Ashford estate.
Copy !req
490. I saw the devastation that was caused
Copy !req
491. by the famine 20 years ago.
Copy !req
492. I also saw the conditions
that the people here still endure.
Copy !req
493. Not absolute starvation anymore,
but close to it,
Copy !req
494. just a few miles from our own front door.
Copy !req
495. When I get back to Dublin...
Copy !req
496. "... I suggest we have a meeting.
I will propose, in the name of God,
Copy !req
497. that from now on,
at least 10% of all profits..."
Copy !req
498. Oh, Annie.
Copy !req
499. "... 10% of all profits made
from the brewing business be devoted
Copy !req
500. to feeding, housing and saving the souls
Copy !req
501. of the deserving poor
on all of our estates."
Copy !req
502. "Also in Dublin,
and eventually in London and beyond."
Copy !req
503. So we save the whole fucking world.
Copy !req
504. "Our family motto is..."
Copy !req
505. - "'Spes mea in Deo.'"
- "Spes mea in Deo."
Copy !req
506. "'My hope is in God.'"
Copy !req
507. "With God's help, let us bring hope
Copy !req
508. to all those who currently
live without hope."
Copy !req
509. "All my love, your devoted sister, Anne."
Copy !req
510. Well, 10% is an absurd amount,
even for little Annie.
Copy !req
511. Tell me about this woman
who's going to be my new sister-in-law.
Copy !req
512. You don't agree 10% is absurd?
Copy !req
513. I think the principle is sound,
but we would need to agree on an amount.
Copy !req
514. No, no. No, we have a duty of care
to the people who work for us,
Copy !req
515. not to the people who happen
to be standing at the roadside
Copy !req
516. looking hungry when
our sister's carriage breaks down.
Copy !req
517. It wasn't her carriage.
Copy !req
518. It was her mind, then,
which has broken down.
Copy !req
519. We are going to need a set of values.
Copy !req
520. Is this you putting forward
an idea for us to discuss,
Copy !req
521. or have you already decided?
Copy !req
522. Arthur, if you want to get elected...
you need more than a wife at your side.
Copy !req
523. - What has my election got to do with it?
- Well...
Copy !req
524. What effect do you think our decision
Copy !req
525. to introduce old-age pensions
will have on your vote?
Copy !req
526. It will increase it. Maybe double it.
Copy !req
527. It wasn't my fucking decision.
You presented it to me.
Copy !req
528. Yes, as part of a wider plan, Arthur.
Copy !req
529. - Say it's you and Anne against me.
- This isn't hide and fucking seek.
Copy !req
530. No, no, no, no, no. No, and I'm the what?
Copy !req
531. Hmm?
Copy !req
532. The stubborn one. The bored one.
The one who's only ever half-listening.
Copy !req
533. - Mostly, yes.
- Oh, well, now you have my attention.
Copy !req
534. Ten fucking percent gets my attention.
Copy !req
535. I have your attention?
Copy !req
536. Good.
Copy !req
537. Read this.
Copy !req
538. "Byron Hedges."
Copy !req
539. Who the fuck is Byron Hedges?
Copy !req
540. That is a copy
Copy !req
541. of a letter of authority
that I gave to him to take to New York.
Copy !req
542. You gave to him?
Copy !req
543. Well, you were at the cathedral
discussing... floral arrangements.
Copy !req
544. You look like the little brother
who did something wrong.
Copy !req
545. What have you done wrong, Eddie?
Copy !req
546. Byron Hedges is a Fenian.
Copy !req
547. His connections in New York
are with the Fenian Brotherhood.
Copy !req
548. One, two, three.
Copy !req
549. Now you explode.
Copy !req
550. Hah.
Copy !req
551. It's my fault, really...
Copy !req
552. for being so distracted.
Copy !req
553. That is just a copy, Arthur.
Copy !req
554. The original is aboard a ship
that's already left Liverpool.
Copy !req
555. When I am back from Portugal,
after the wedding,
Copy !req
556. I will begin to assert
some kind of rational control.
Copy !req
557. Yes. Yes, yes, yes, the future, Arthur.
Copy !req
558. In the future, we will see
both sides of the Home Rule debate.
Copy !req
559. For now, we are in the middle.
Our concern is the people.
Copy !req
560. What the fuck
do I care about the people for?
Copy !req
561. - I'm a Conservative.
- Benevolence equals votes.
Copy !req
562. Votes equal power.
Copy !req
563. Power equals expansion,
and expansion equals greater profits.
Copy !req
564. After the wedding, we will sit down
and speak rationally, Brother.
Copy !req
565. Not 10%.
Copy !req
566. 5%.
Copy !req
567. And some of that
we spend in New York and Boston.
Copy !req
568. Guns and ammunition
for our new Fenian friends.
Copy !req
569. No, Arthur, of course not.
Charitable works.
Copy !req
570. And since I have your attention,
I will propose
Copy !req
571. that from now on,
Copy !req
572. in America and elsewhere in the world,
Copy !req
573. the new symbol of Guinness
Copy !req
574. will be this.
Copy !req
575. It will be our trademark,
and it'll represent what we are.
Copy !req
576. The harp of Irish hero Brian Boru,
Copy !req
577. a symbol of all Ireland.
Copy !req
578. Of Celtic Ireland.
Copy !req
579. Of Catholic Ireland.
Copy !req
580. You wanna put it on the fire?
Copy !req
581. Christ!
Copy !req
582. All this goodness,
Copy !req
583. this kindness,
pensions and harps, it's just...
Copy !req
584. You're submitting to fucking blackmail!
Copy !req
585. Fuck off! Fuck off!
Copy !req
586. The Fenians want my vote, and bit by bit,
you would nudge me to their side
Copy !req
587. just to save a fucking factory!
Copy !req
588. Brewery!
Copy !req
589. Yes, and to save your name, Arthur.
Copy !req
590. Are you brave?
Copy !req
591. Are you that brave?
Copy !req
592. Are you that brave
to have it all revealed?
Copy !req
593. So do you want me to continue
to walk the tightrope?
Copy !req
594. All those in favor
Copy !req
595. of adopting the Irish harp
Copy !req
596. as the Guinness trademark,
Copy !req
597. say aye.
Copy !req
598. Aye.
Copy !req
599. Mr. Guinness,
would you like to order something
Copy !req
600. whilst you're waiting for your guest?
Copy !req
601. Yes.
Copy !req
602. - Two bottles of Guinness.
- Of course, sir.
Copy !req
603. Madam, the staff entrance is
around the back in Sackville Place.
Copy !req
604. No, Colin, the lady is expected.
Copy !req
605. Follow me.
Copy !req
606. Mr. Guinness, Miss Ellen Cochrane.
Copy !req
607. Miss Cochrane.
Copy !req
608. Please take a seat.
Copy !req
609. What's she doing here with him?
Copy !req
610. As you see, I'm known in the city.
Copy !req
611. I imagine you knew the effect
my entrance would have.
Copy !req
612. I knew very well
the effect your entrance would have.
Copy !req
613. The black armband is
for Michael Barrett, I assume?
Copy !req
614. For an innocent man
who was lynched in a public place, yes.
Copy !req
615. I actually sent a letter
to the home secretary
Copy !req
616. suggesting his clemency.
Copy !req
617. But in London,
Copy !req
618. unlike in Dublin,
Copy !req
619. the Guinnesses don't always get their way.
Copy !req
620. For now, yes.
Copy !req
621. - Would you like me to pour, sir?
- No, I'll pour.
Copy !req
622. I don't drink in the daytime.
Copy !req
623. These are not for drinking.
Copy !req
624. They are purely
for the purpose of illustration.
Copy !req
625. What illustration?
Copy !req
626. You see, there is a particular technique
Copy !req
627. when it comes to pouring Guinness.
Copy !req
628. When you start to pour,
Copy !req
629. the beer, quite rightly,
is very excited to be free.
Copy !req
630. And it fizzes in the glass.
Copy !req
631. So while the first glass settles
and gets used to the situation,
Copy !req
632. you start to pour the next.
Copy !req
633. And then you wait
Copy !req
634. for the porter to calm down.
Copy !req
635. I call it the Guinness minute.
Copy !req
636. I was told that you wanted to meet me.
Can you get to the point?
Copy !req
637. This is my point.
Copy !req
638. These two half-poured glasses of Guinness
Copy !req
639. represent the state of Ireland.
Copy !req
640. At this moment,
excited by your dream of independence,
Copy !req
641. but in need of a little time... to reflect.
Copy !req
642. And you reduce our struggles to beer?
Copy !req
643. It's what I know, Miss Cochrane.
Copy !req
644. I also know...
that when you complete the pour,
Copy !req
645. to fill the glass, it is important
Copy !req
646. that you do it slowly,
Copy !req
647. carefully...
Copy !req
648. evenly.
Copy !req
649. And, as with your political struggle,
Copy !req
650. you will only be successful
Copy !req
651. if you keep... your... head.
Copy !req
652. I'm still not drinking
what you poured me, Mr. Guinness.
Copy !req
653. Miss Cochrane, what I am offering
Copy !req
654. is that we go on a journey
as honorable people.
Copy !req
655. And we go on the journey together.
Copy !req
656. A long, slow stroll, arm in arm
with the capitalists and the unionists?
Copy !req
657. The situation is simple.
Copy !req
658. When your brother is elected,
Copy !req
659. he will use all that famous
Guinness power and influence
Copy !req
660. to make the English parliament see
the wisdom of Irish independence.
Copy !req
661. We can help him by showing him
that the Fenians are not wild bandits.
Copy !req
662. I wanted to meet you here,
in a public place,
Copy !req
663. to make a statement
that all of Dublin society can understand.
Copy !req
664. Also... my brother is getting married.
Copy !req
665. And we are inviting
carefully selected Dubliners
Copy !req
666. who represent different parts of society.
Copy !req
667. I'm invited to a Guinness wedding?
Copy !req
668. I know you are not married,
Copy !req
669. but you can bring your brother.
I'm keen to meet him as well.
Copy !req
670. I have certain rules
Copy !req
671. which I mostly abide by.
Copy !req
672. Sometimes, I break my rules.
Copy !req
673. Crawlin' up the walls
Lookin' like a rabid hound
Copy !req
674. Get up outta that
Get up off the ground
Copy !req
675. I'll tie ya to that chair
If ya don't simmer down
Copy !req
676. You're the world's worst
Patron saint of stout
Copy !req
677. Actually, didn't I bar yous last week?
Copy !req
678. And what are ya doin'
With a spliff in your mouth?
Copy !req
679. Alright then, never mind
What'll it be, lads?
Copy !req
680. Another round, another round
Another round, another round
Copy !req
681. Another round, another round
Another round, another round...
Copy !req
682. I'm assuming green calico
and a woolen shawl will be just grand?
Copy !req
683. And a grand day it'll be.
Copy !req
