- So it's been agreed
the O'Connells will push
the votes in the east, the
O'Donnells in the west.
I would like to introduce
Jimmy to the table.
He's just been released after
six months in the maze itself
and he's been working in
England for us ever since.
- Thank you, Jerry.
There's no need for
any introductions.
Basically...
- I know who you are.
- Excuse me?
- You're the one who
handled a close friend
of ours, Connor, let's
say pretty poorly.
- Connor?
- Connor McGovern.
He used to sit in that chair
you're sitting in, aye,
always pushing out
the same bullshit
that I don't care to listen to.
The difference is he's
loyal and familiar.
When you was inside,
you beat him,
you beat him like a dog.
- PADDY:
Patrick, I think
you got the wrong idea.
- Quiet.
He can talk for himself.
(heavy foreboding music)
What have you got
to say for yourself?
- I'm sorry but he had it...
- You find it funny?
Well, why don't you
try doing that again?
What have you got
to say for yourself?
- I'm sorry for what
I did but he made
an attempt on my
business on the inside.
- His business is my business.
And stand when you talk to me.
Stand!
(door shatters)
(officers shouting)
(wild music)
- Charlie!
- Now listen to me,
Well, I need you
to get under the bed for daddy.
Come on, Michael,
get down there son.
Get down, don't be scared son.
Look after your brother, Well,
just look after your brother,
and do not come
from under this bed.
Do you hear me?
(tense piano music)
- No, Michael!
(gun fires)
(woeful music)
- He's just a child!
(gun fires softly)
(birds chirping)
(soft piano music)
- That's interesting.
- Sorry?
- The sculpture,
it's interesting.
- How do you find
it interesting?
- Is this how you
diagnose your patients?
Depending on their
answer you know
if they're suicidal or not.
- Are you feeling suicidal?
- No.
Not now anyway.
So why did you chose
that sculpture?
- It was a gift.
A gift?
From who?
- A patient.
- Are you allowed to
accept gifts from patients?
- Not really but I
thought it was compelling
so I accepted it
and there it is.
- Here it is.
(gentle piano music)
- BERNADETTE:
It is
Hercules fighting off evil
which can be seen as
anything, fear, depression,
anger, and it
showcases his strength.
- Does that mean I'm evil?
- No.
No. that's not what I'm saying.
- STANLEY:
I should get going.
- Before you leave, take this.
- A journal.
Why?
- Let's just call it
a form of practice.
Write down your thoughts,
draw them, I don't care.
Just do something
before our next session.
- I don't know.
- Just try.
Please.

(speaks in foreign language)
(gentle violin music)
- Beautiful.
- Stanley.
Must you always do that?
- STANLEY:
Sorry.
- MARY:
Now, look at this.
- STANLEY:
Oh, here you go.
- MARY:
Thank you son.
- Come on, stand up.
- I'm getting old.
I can't even stand up without
getting out of breath.
- You're not old.
- Oh, you.
- Go on, play us a tune.
- Ooh, I couldn't
now, I'm too winded.
Tell me about your day.
- Nothing special.
Went for a ski and
then did the food shop.
- You've been up that foolish
mountain again, haven't you?
Just like your father.
- I do it every
morning, it's fine.
- Ves, and one of these
days you'll take a fall,
flying down there
like a lunatic.
Off-piste is so dangerous.
Why can't you ski in the
resort like everyone else?
You might meet someone.
Away from England
all these years
and you still have
no friends here.
- I have no friends because
