The Phelans are a family of Irish tenant farmers: Sean and his wife Maeve ; Conor, Liam and Daniel, a schoolteacher who is also a member of the secret society. Further conflicts arise in attempts to collect their rent and fight against the Agent (Mr. Townsend) who continues to try to be as fair as he might under the circumstances. He defers the payment of the rent until after the harvest. He orders that a Catholic priest be brought to the parish since there is none; Father Liam Phelan arrives. Father Liam attempts to make peace and opposes Daniel's violent "solution". Daniel fails in an attempt to assassinate Townsend, only seriously wounding him in the leg. Townsend arrives home battered and gulps down brandy to numb the pain. He asks Mary Dolan his maid who was hired on after being turned out of their land by Townsend himself when her family could not pay rent, to help him off with his boots. The brandy and his proximity to her in her night shirt encourage him to make a pass at her, but he does not assault her. He begs her pardon the next day. Starring: Joe Mcgann, Paul Mcgann, Mark Mcgann, Stephen Mcgann, Michael Kitchen

00:00The End
00:30Thank God we lifted them.
00:43Summer sound.
00:45We saved some, at least.
00:53It smells like it's come from the bowels of the earth.
00:56But, like all good things and all bad that's come from God, we must pray to him for forgiveness.
01:03Leave that day, palo.
01:23Get back off of the show.
01:25I want him.
01:26But you asked to come back to Galready.
01:55No.
01:58I'm glad you're here.
02:01God's blessing on you, palo.
02:03Aye, and the same blessing on you, Father.
02:07Amen.
02:10Amen.
02:10I'm proud to stand before you here today.
02:29Many of you I know and love, for this is where I was born and raised.
02:39We must all look in our hearts and ask ourselves what we've done to so displease the Lord.
02:47Potato fields of Ireland are utterly destroyed.
03:02Your Lordship will be aware that the potato is the staple diet of your tenants, who have thereby lost six months of food overnight.
03:10Following, as this does, hard upon last year's partial failure, many of your tenants will find it impossible to pay their rent.
03:18There is a danger that any attempt to collect their rent in full will result in a fiasco.
03:22I'm sure the new government is doing all that it can to expedite matters, but in the meantime, I humbly suggest that your Lordship reduces the rents, or agrees to forego them altogether until this terrible situation has passed.
03:36The lives of thousands may depend on what he's done now.
03:46Bistart, qui chito dart.
03:50He gives twice, who gives promptly?
04:06Bistart, who accepts the rents, orvels, who send the rents, or even for thousands of thousands of millions of thousands of thousands of thousands?
04:09Bistart, here is no.
04:28It's an an accident.
04:29He gives you lots of food.
04:31Bistart, who gives me life?
04:34There's this deer here.
05:03There's this deer here.
05:33One of the most remote parts of the parish, where I found the first instance of death
05:38from want.
05:39She aims me to do business with you.
05:55Thank you, Father.
06:09Children and children scour the seashore for sand eels and seaweed like scavenging birds.
06:19A famine, with all its painful consequences, precious.
06:24A famine with all its painful consequences, precious.
06:29A famine with all its painful consequences, precious.
06:35But the people have been not immediately relieved.
06:40We will have order!
06:43Silence!
06:44If we do not have order, Sergeant McCavity will clear the room.
06:47We need to put forward one proposal for public works, not 200.
06:56One scheme large enough to provide employment for all the distressed in the district.
07:00There is no point in everyone here presenting schemes.
07:04The Board of Works will not build you a pigsty, they will not build you a barn, or make you
07:09a new field.
07:10The works, to be fair to all local ratepayers, must be non-productive.
07:14That is, will not confer benefit to any one individual.
07:18Who will pay for your relief works?
07:20His Lordship and all other persons possessing property.
07:24The money advanced by the Treasury is a loan.
07:28A loan repayable in its entirety over ten years at three and a half percent.
07:37If we are to pay, then can't we meet the benefits?
07:39Why shouldn't I am a pigsty?
07:41Because you, my son, are not starving.
07:44We should use the loan to buy food, to resell cheaply, or give away to the really needed.
07:50No, no, no, no, you can't interfere with free trade.
07:54You're free in the sense that you can charge what you like, Colton.
07:57People need to be fair, not work to death, building a road that starts nowhere and finishes
08:03in a bog.
08:05I know full well where the road starts and finishes, Doctor.
08:08It is a good site because there's a quarry nearby.
08:10It is a good scheme because it will be approved.
08:12Those of you wishing to present alternative schemes to the Board of Works may do so.
08:16In the meantime, I am declaring this meeting is closed.
08:22Watch out!
08:27Lord Hawksborough has not been in Galilee for twenty years.
08:31He can have no idea of the distress that exists here.
08:33The Lordship must be made to understand.
08:35If his tenants have to sell the residue of produce for rent, they'll starve.
08:39They must be allowed to eat their oats, their eggs, their butter.
08:41They must know that there is no threat of them being turned out to die on the road.
08:47Persuade his Lordship to forgo the rents until this crisis is over.
08:50Give the people hope.
08:52I have written to Lord Hawksborough asking him to remit the rents.
08:56I am awaiting instructions.
08:57In the meantime, I will submit the road-building scheme to the Board of Works.
09:08Can his Lordship really be so ignorant of what is happening here on his own property?
09:14Do the British really not know?
09:15Oh, the London Times.
09:17You may find the leader of interest.
09:29There exists not a country on the face of this earth which complains so much and does so little.
09:33It is possible to tell a tale of sorrow too often.
09:39In my opinion, I neither know nor want to know.
09:42I can't believe that.
09:43You keep a diary, Doctor?
09:50Of sorts.
09:51But we work together, do you think?
09:53What way?
09:54Draw on those diaries, write an account of conditions here in Galready.
09:58See the account is published in London.
09:59The people might know.
10:02Tell the tale of sorrow once again.
10:03Say good day to Father Liam.
10:21Good day to Father Liam.
10:25If the Protestant doctor and the Catholic priest are writing this report,
10:30what need do you have of the poor national schoolmaster?
10:32You're the one with a gift for language.
10:36A gift for language?
10:38Are you writing a poem?
10:41I'd like to work with you.
10:43I don't think so, Liam.
10:48Let me show you something.
10:53I thank the goodness and the grace that on my birth have smiled
10:57and made me in these Christian days a happy English child.
11:02I stand beneath that every day teaching Irish children.
11:07I show them a map of the world that's covered with the red of the British Empire.
11:10I tell them British troops are stationed here in the Americas, India, Hong Kong, here in Ireland.
11:20And I remind them that every soldier has three square meals a day.
11:23That every day food is shipped to Bombay, Calcutta.
11:29Food that comes from Ireland.
11:32And then I ask them why do they think, despite all that, people are so hungry in Donegal.
11:37Why can't we eat the food that's under our noses?
11:41Or if there's not enough food for us to eat,
11:44why is it beyond the resources of the richest nation on Earth,
11:47whose ships sail every ocean to get food from here to here?
11:52And they don't know the answers?
11:54Your rhetoric will not put food in anyone's mouth, Daniel.
11:58Maybe not.
12:00But I still won't waste my time appealing to people who behave more and more
12:03as if they'd like to see us dead.
12:05We'll pull the pig in here.
12:19She'll soon have a dog.
12:24I don't know why you're wasting your time with that.
12:27Because in the spring, there'll be cabbage, onions, turnip.
12:32Don't stop me from doing this, Sian!
12:36I won't stop you.
12:38But tomorrow, con works with me.
12:48Look.
12:50It's a good sign.
13:02Good morning.
13:10I would speak with your husband.
13:12He's in the house, sir.
13:32I remitted the rents in June as a mark of sympathy and regret
13:48for the way Michael Dolan met his end,
13:50but now they must be paid in full.
13:52I have selected two or three tenants
13:58whom I know have the means to pay,
14:01yourself included,
14:03and I am taking the unusual step of visiting them personally
14:06to ask them to hold out no longer against their landlord's rights,
14:11to ask them to set an example,
14:14and to pay promptly on Gale Day.
14:19Mr Townsend, we have lost our entire crop of potatoes.
14:24We don't even have seed potatoes.
14:26We will have to sell everything to pay our rent in full.
14:29We will have nothing to sow in the spring.
14:32Those with the means must pay.
14:36And what will happen to those who haven't the means to pay?
14:39They must pay what they can.
14:41And what will become of them?
14:43Let them pay what they can.
15:03What's that?
15:05Your father's suit.
15:08He's given it to me to make clothes for the boy.
15:11His best suit?
15:13Oh, no.
15:14What do we bury him in now?
15:26We spent so much on Michael's week.
15:31If we have to pay in full,
15:34we're not going to be able to buy seed for the new garden.
15:36I had a first cousin called Autumn McBride.
15:44He and I took a stroll down by the seaside.
15:48A seeking good fortune and what might betide, being just as the day was a-dawning.
15:58Then after resting, we both took a tramp.
16:02We met Sergeant Harper and Corporal Cramp.
16:05Stop now.
16:06Besides a wee drummer who beat up for a camp with his rowdy-daw-daw in the morning.
16:13He said, my young fellows, if you will enlist a guinea you quickly shall have in your fist.
16:20Stop it.
16:21Besides a crown for to kick up the dust and drink the king's health in the morning.
16:27Do you not think a uniform would suit me?
16:32I do not.
16:34There's plenty of Irishmen made a living in the British army.
16:38There's plenty have died too.
16:40There's plenty of Irishmen made a living in the British army.
16:47We need you here.
16:52But for how much longer?
17:10There.
17:33Go and show your grandad.
17:34Oh, Joseph, let me look at you.
17:49You.
17:51I want you to take care of your daddy in the town today.
17:57Good boy.
17:58Good boy.
18:04I want you to take care of your daddy.
18:34You know, I've only ever wanted to make you happy.
19:04Two bushels.
19:30Two bushels.
19:31What will you sell it for now?
19:33Forty shillings, a hundredweight?
19:36You're getting what everybody else is getting.
19:37Be satisfied.
19:39Satisfied.
19:41Who here is satisfied?
19:42One out of three quarters.
19:43I'm not selling a thing, Evie.
20:04Not a thing.
20:07How much are you looking for?
20:11Six pounds.
20:18She's got a blind quarter.
20:21I know.
20:21Maybe four pounds for her.
20:23She's what, six pounds of anyone's money?
20:26Not mine.
20:27How much are you asking?
20:37Twenty-eight shillings.
20:39Pull out your hand.
20:41You take fifteen shillings?
20:43I will not.
20:44Ask seventeen shillings, see if I give it to you.
20:46Twenty-eight shillings.
20:47Take the seventeen shillings, son.
20:48You'll get no better today.
20:49Who asked you?
20:50Who asked you?
20:52Seventeen and sixpence.
20:53And go no higher.
20:55Your offer insults me.
20:56Don't insult me.
21:07Still eleven's older, then.
21:11I'll take the four pounds.
21:14It's not four anymore.
21:16It's three.
21:24Are you selling the horse?
21:35What'll you get me?
21:40You know, I dreamed about you last night, Navy.
21:44I dreamed that you were standing at the foot of my bed.
21:47Naked as the day you were born.
21:50You held out your arms.
21:52It's enough now.
22:07Now look what you've done.
22:08What happened?
22:09Now look what you've done.
22:11Why'd you hit him?
22:17Culture!
22:17Our produce is the best in the valley.
22:22You'd be a fool not to buy it.
22:27Don't punish them.
22:29You want to punish someone, punish me.
22:32Don't punish them.
22:39Copy them that.
22:41You can take it or leave it.
22:42You come to my shebeen this evening.
22:44You can take it or leave it.
23:08I've got this for you.
23:09You've got them.
23:21Aye.
23:25When we don't have enough money for food.
23:28Oh, Sian.
23:30Sian!
23:39Come on in.
24:05So.
24:07Con Phelan.
24:09You like to fight.
24:15Can you fight with a stick?
24:21What is this culture?
24:22Can you fight with a stick?
24:25I don't have a stick.
24:27Anybody have a stick me young friend can borrow here?
24:36If you want to fight, fight very.
24:39I'm taking bets.
24:48Right, lads, who do you pay over here?
24:49Thanks.
24:51Right, lads.
25:00You go on a kind of three.
25:15One.
25:17Two.
25:19One.
25:20Two.
25:20No!
25:50God save all here.
26:20And you two.
26:22Come in, Patrick.
26:24Come and sit by the fire.
26:36Are you ailing, Seamus?
26:39What?
26:40With your missing market and all.
26:42No, I am not ailing.
26:46I saw nothing, Seamus.
26:48Nothing at all.
26:50I don't know what I'm to do.
26:53If it's money you're after, you must speak to Sean.
26:55How much are you shot?
27:05Ten pounds.
27:06The most I could let you have is three.
27:11You can't give him three pounds.
27:14We haven't enough for ourselves.
27:15So my own daughter would turn me away empty-handed.
27:18We have hungry mouths to feed here too.
27:21I beg you, Sean.
27:22Why must you do this in my own home?
27:25I can't give you more.
27:27Take the three pounds.
27:27Don't you dare.
27:29Don't you dare give him anything.
27:30Why must he shame me?
27:32Have you no charity?
27:33Why must he shame me?
27:35You're good.
27:48Very good.
27:51From now on, you fight for me.
27:54I'm sorry.
28:18I'm sorry.
28:23I'm sorry.
28:23I'm sorry.
28:23I'm sorry.
28:53Do you think he's hurt himself?
29:13May have.
29:23It's nothing.
29:40His face is cut.
29:43I think he's been fighting.
29:44I think he's been fighting for a long time.
30:10Waste now our money on drink.
30:12It's for you.
30:31Onion seeds.
30:34There's turnip and cabbage.
30:37Where did you get them?
30:39Coulter.
30:39Why would he give you a seed?
30:45In payment.
30:47For what?
30:49I did some work for him behind the bar.
30:57And there's this.
30:58Poor hand.
31:08Poor hand.
31:13I love you, Maeve.
31:20I love you.
31:20I love you, Maeve.
31:38I know.
31:40Sian, did you pick up my buttons?
32:05I'm sorry I threw them away.
32:10Open up, my bride.
32:20Open up, my bride.
32:24Open up, my bride.
32:28Open up, my bride.
32:30Open up, my bride.
32:34Open up, my bride.
32:38Open up, my bride.
32:40Open up, my bride.
32:50I was born here, son.
32:56And I'll die and rot here.
33:05Aye.
33:06They say relief work's out of start.
33:26They say the Indian corn's on its way.
33:28That the government might provide sea potatoes.
33:34They say potatoes.
33:46Well, I'll lock you, mate.
33:53Good.
33:54Good.
33:56Good day.
33:59Wait a moment, will you?
34:13Nahi, Niall, Patrick.
34:19Pay what you can.
34:21That's all you can do.
34:25God bless you.
34:29God bless you.
34:34Amen.
34:34Amen.
34:36Amen.
34:36Amen.
34:37Amen.
34:37Amen.
34:59Make your mark.
35:02Have the feelings paid?
35:30They have.
35:31In full?
35:33In full.
35:57This will interest you, Mrs Brogan.
36:01Apparently poverty is a natural condition of the Irish and no extraordinary measures
36:06for relief are necessary.
36:08Quite the reverse, Lord Hawkesborough, after the fullest and most mature consideration,
36:14has come to the conclusion that with better management and husbandry, the tenants will
36:18be able to pay without hardship.
36:23And all this, of course, can be seen from the window of his drawing room in Eaton Square.
36:32Thank you, that's enough.
37:32I serve this on you, Patrick Dolan, in the name of the sheriff of the county.
37:52It places this farm in the hands of Lord Hawkesbury's agent.
37:57Spare us, sir, for God's sake.
38:02Remove your belongings from the house.
38:05You do not go into the poorhouse.
38:08You must quit this estate, and no person may give you shelter.
38:14Remove your belongings from the house.
38:27No!
38:29No!
38:30Don't take them!

47:30And you'd work for a man who I have every reason to hate him.
