And me.

Can I drop you somewhere?

No, thanks.

I'll call you.

Thomas...

Come to bed.

At the time, I believed

the victim, Mr. Lorimer,

represented a legitimate

target in that war.

I deeply regret the hurt and

pain caused to his family.

I am very, very sorry

and beg your forgiveness, Mrs. Lorimer.

Thank you.

Mrs. Lorimer,

would you like to make your final address?

You...

You...

destroyed my life.

My family.

You murdered my man.

You're sorry?! I don't want

to hear the word "sorry"!

You killed my man!

Clear the chamber!

Clear the chamber. Remove

her from the chamber.

(SHE SCREAMS)

(SHE SHOUTS AND SCREAMS)

I just realised what

it is we're doing here.

Tell the chief constable that we

need a larger security presence

- in the chamber, will you?

- Of course.

(CHORAL SINGING)

Not long till Christine's wedding now.

Two weeks, is it?

What is it, Johnny?

Connor Roche. The Truth Commission.

- Am I called?

- No.

But it could be trouble.

Who for?

All of us.

But you're the Minister now.

Ricky, find out what

that music is, will you?

So, who has been called?

We've found Michael Madden in Boston.

Madden?

He was only a kid.

He was there.

And all his people are dead.

He can accept responsibility

and go back to the States

as if nothing had happened.

Neither you nor I can do that.

- Was this your idea?

- I've been instructed to protect you,

to make sure the right things are said.

You mean you're protecting yourself!

Francis, keep your voice down.

You're not planning some kind

of a putsch, are you, Johnny?

All I'm trying to do is to

keep your name out of it.

You cannot appear before that commission.

Just admitting you were

there would be the end of you.

The end of all of us.

O Magnum Mysterium,

Tomas Luis de Victoria, 1572.

I won't have that modern script.

(LAUGHTER)

I don't like him calling me Frankie.

- And this bloody waistcoat.

- You look great.

I look like a clown.

It's what Christine wants. We agreed.

Hey, Da, are you ready?

We want to show you something.

They're in high spirits.

(INDISTINCT COMMENTS AND LAUGHTER)

What do you think, Frankie?

"Communities Minster shows

"he hasn't forgotten his

roots at daughter's wedding."

I don't see the joke.

No, neither do I.

Come on, Da. We're just pulling your leg.

I don't see the f***ing joke.

Christine, take the boys for a

drink. And get rid of that thing.

Francis...

What is wrong with me, Catherine?

Only you know the answer to that.

I better apologise.
