Gypo!
Ah, Gypo, what's the use?
I'm hungry and I can't pay my room rent.
Have you the price of a flop on you?
No!
Oh, what's the use?
Ah, don't look at me like that, Gypo.
You're all I got.
You're the only one. You know that.
But what chance have we to escape?
Money. Some people have all the luck.
Look at that thing handing us the ha-ha.
10 pounds to America.
20 pounds and the world is ours.
- What are you saying that for? - Saying what? 20 pounds?
- What are you driving at? - Oh, Gypo, what's the matter with you?
20 pounds. Might as well be a million.
Go on. Go on! Go and get your 20 pounds from that scut I threw in the gutter.
Say, Gypo. Too good for me, eh?
Well, let me tell you something.
You're no better than any other man. You're all alike!
Oh, Katie, I didn't mean it.
Go along with you and your fine principles.
I can't afford 'em!
Katie!
Throw light over there, lads.
Paddy's not out tonight, boys.
Don't you know me, Gypo?
I don't wonder that you stare.
I'm lucky to be finding you here.
Man, what is it?
What are you staring at?
Nothing, Frankie.
You came up to me so... sudden like.
I guess I'm getting jumpy.
Finding out there's a price on my head.
20 pounds. Oh, so that's all I'm worth!
Six months is a long time, my boy, to be on the run.
Sleeping out in the hills, freezing to death.
And no decent grub.
So I says to myself, "I'll sneak into town and I'll see my mother."
"And I'll duck right out again." And here I am.
Did you deliver my messages?
And what did my mother say?
Ah, she blessed the saints that you're alive.
She followed me out crying and put a half a quid in my hand.
To give to you.
Well, I was that hungry meself that I... I spent it.
Ah, you big lubber. That was her way of giving it to you!
She likes you, Gypo. The Lord knows why.
What's come over you? What are you gawking at?
Is there something queer about me?
No, Frankie.
You see, I've been court-martialled.
Man, what for?
You remember the Tan that killed Quincannon?
We drew lots for it, and I got the short match.
Well, I took him out in the lorry... and he begged for his life.
I couldn't do it, Frankie. Not in cold blood.
Besides, he swore he'd desert if I let him go.
And you believed him? What did Commandant Gallagher say?
Oh.
He near had me plugged when I went back to report.
Then they threw me out of the organisation.
And now the British think I'm with the Irish
and the Irish think I'm with the British.
And the long and short of it is
I'm walking around starving without a dog to lick my trousers.
Ah, you poor fathead!
Think of the jobs we've pulled off together,
the scrapes we've come through.
Ah, we were a great pair, eh, Gypo?
With your muscle and my brain.
When you got into a tight place, it was me that thought a way out.
Remember?
And I leave you alone for a minute and you go and get in trouble again.
Man alive! I'm your brain!
But it's your help I'm needing now.
I looked you up first to find out
if the Tans were still watching my mother's house.
Is there any guard on the house?
Not since Christmas.
Well, I'm off. If I get a chance to see Gallagher, I'll put the word in for you.
Up the rebels!
Carry on.
Yes?
Well, I... It's like this. I...
Well, speak up. What do you want to say?
I've come to claim the 20 pounds reward for Frankie McPhillip.
Frankie McPhillip?
Right now, men, let's go.
Mary, the bread's that fresh, I can't cut it.
Look at the crumbs it's made.
Oh, my boy! My boy!
- Mother! Mary! - Oh, Frankie!
Oh, praise be to God. You've come back to us.
Save your praise for this fog that's upon us, Mother.
It's the best friend I have this night.
And me dodging down dark streets to get here. Oh, I was so homesick to see you.
I'd have walked down the middle of O'Connell Street to get a glimpse of you.
Ah, mercy, my son.
Sure, you must be starving!
Frankie, you shouldn't have come. It's not safe.
Ah, what a long face for a sister.
I'm in with the fog and I'm out with the fog and nobody'll be the wiser.
- Nobody's seen you? - Just my pal Gypo Nolan.
See, I had to find out if the Tans had a guard on the house.
Have a nice cup of tea. You can do all your talking afterwards.
Come on, get on the front door there. Get on the door there.
Machine gunner! Machine gunner! Get on the rear.
Open the place.
- No. No! - Let me out!
Out of the way.
Stay back. Stay back! Stay back. Get back. I gotta get away.
Frankie, no!
- Where's McPhillip? - He's not here. Get out!
No, Frankie! Frankie!
Mary! Clear out of the way! Get out of the way and let me shoot!
Dammit! Get out of the way! Move out!
Frankie!
Frankie, no! Stop!
Frankie!
Yes?
Yes.
Right.
McPhillip was killed trying to escape, sir.
20 pounds. You'd better count it.
Show him out the back way.
Why, you!
Whisky.
Oh-ho! There's a lot of things I'd like if I could afford it.
Good night.
I've got to have a plan.
Ah, Gypo, I'm your brain.
You can't think without me. You're lost. You're lost.
Oh. What do you want to be sneaking up behind a man like that for?
I've been looking all over for you.
I'm... I'm sorry I blew up at you like that -
out in the street, I mean.
Ah, Gypo.
You know I love you. You're the only one. You know that.
Sometimes I get so crazy I don't know what I'm doing.
I've got it. I did it for you.
You did what?
You forgot your change, me boyo.
Gypo, where did you get that money?
Look at it. And not an hour ago, you hadn't a penny to warm your pocket.
Did somebody die and leave you a pot of gold?
- What are you saying that for? - Well, did you rob a church or what?
- That's it. - You...
You mean you robbed a church?
Ah, Gypo.
No. No, it wasn't a church.
It was a sailor, off an American ship.
Shh! Not so loud.
I went through him behind Cassidy's pub on Jerome Street. He was drunk.
But if you say a word of it you'll get me into trouble.
Who, me? What do you take me for?
An informer?
Why are you talking about informing? Who's an informer?!
- Gypo! - Don't be saying that.
What's the matter here? What's the matter?
Oh, it's all right, Barney. Let him alone.
He didn't mean any harm.
Come on. Let's get out of here.
Come on up to my room. There's a nice warm fire there.
Here's your money. You'll be all right.
Darling, you don't want any more of that.
Let's get in the car. I'll take you back...
Ah, no, Gypo.
Oh!
Gypo!
You gave him a pound note!
I forgot something.
They'll be wondering why I'm not there already.
'Tis the work of an informer.
'Tis surely. 'Tis the work of an informer.
Oh, Frankie!
Don't cry, Mother.
I'm sorry for your trouble, Mrs. McPhillip.
What are you shouting for? Don't you know there's a wake going on?
Ah, let him alone, Bartly.
Sure, he was a friend of my dead boy's.
All the same, you should show more respect for the dead.
Leave 'em alone!
Sure, I was only going to give them back to you, Mr. Nolan.
I swear by all that's holy I warned him to keep away from this house.
Good heavens, man, there's no one suspects you.
Sure, that's right, Gypo.
No one suspects you.
You've been very good to me, Mrs. McPhillip.
I'm sorry for your trouble.
Gypo! Gypo! Gypo!
- My life, what are you hurrying for? - What makes you think I'm in a hurry?
Don't be getting your rag out, me boyo.
'Tis a free country, and a man can ask questions without all this gusting.
Especially from an old pal.
Are you working now?
No!
Don't be shouting at me like an Aboriginal.
You can't blame us for taking a friendly interest in you for old times' sake,
seeing as how you were one of us at one time.
You don't seem to be in any need of money tonight, Gypo.
Argh! Bartly!
What's wrong, boys? What are you up to?
- He suspects me! - Suspects you of what?
- I didn't say anything, Bartly... - You're a liar! You did! Both of you.
And well I know you. You're Gallagher's right-hand men...
Shut up, Gypo. Are you mad? Don't you know there are people listening?
- Don't be accusing me, then. - Let's get out of here.
- No. - Gallagher wants to see you.
Well, I'm not going.
Come on, man! He's not going to eat you.
Is it afraid of the commandant you are?
Afraid? I'm not afraid of the finest man that was ever whipped!
Come on, man...
Keep your hands off me.
Come on.
Captain Mulholland, sir.
Gypo Nolan.
Well, Gypo.
You don't seem glad to see me.
You've got a grudge against me. Why?
Ah!
There isn't a thing I wouldn't do for you, Dan Gallagher.
But you had me court-martialled and expelled from the organisation.
You disobeyed orders, endangered the organisation.
You had a fair trial, Gypo.
Only for me, you wouldn't have got away as easy as you did.
There were others who wanted to give you this.
Forget that.
We've got something on hand now that's as much your business as ours.
Frankie McPhillip was your pal... wasn't he?
I want your help, that's all.
This looks like the job of an informer.
We have to get that informer, understand?
If you don't help us with this job, people might think...
It isn't that. It isn't that.
Look here, Commandant.
It's... it's how... it's how...
Oh, I don't know what I'm doing!
- What's the matter, Gypo? - What's the matter?!
The last six months I've been starving, that's what's the matter.
I've been living from hand to mouth on whatever I could foray from sailors.
I got no clothes. I got no money.
I got nothing.
Look here, Gypo. I'm going to make a fair deal with you.
Last October you put us all in a very dangerous position.
We'll call it quits and reinstate you. On one condition.
That you find the man that's informed on Frankie McPhillip.
- Do you mean that? - Indeed I do, Gypo.
Put it there, Danny, my boy. Put it there.
What did I tell you? What did I tell you, Bartly?
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you, Dan.
There isn't anything I wouldn't do.
Can we have a drink on that?
Let's have a little drink on that.
Have a drink on the commandant, Tommy.
Bartly, my boy, a little drink for you.
There.
Ah!
Ah, that's fine stuff.
It's good stuff, Bartly, eh?
Ahh!
Danny, there isn't anything I wouldn't do for you.
There isn't anything. Ah, it's nice to be friendly.
I'd go through fire and water for you.
Who informed on Frankie McPhillip?
I'll tell you.
It was that rat Mulligan.
- Mulligan? - Mulligan, the tailor?
- As sure as you were born, it was him. - How do you make that out?
I'll tell you, Commandant.
I didn't like to say it meself.
A man can't be too sure about a thing like that.
But, as you said it yourself, Commandant, in the way you put it...
Hurry up, man. Make your statement.
Ah! That's fine stuff.
- How didn't I think of that before? - Think of what?
- It... it was the grudge! - What grudge?
Oh, the grudge. The grudge.
- Th-th-that Mulligan had on Frankie! - About what?
Ah...
Ah, it's a long long story.
It's a long story.
There's another little drink in the bottle.
Take it.
Man alive, you've eradicated the bottle.
Ah, Tommy, Tommy.
Come on now, Gypo, out with it. What grudge are you talking about?
- Do you remember his sister Suzy? - Whose sister?
- Mulligan's. - What has she got to do with it?
What has she got to do with it?!
Why shouldn't she have something to do with it?
Wasn't she in trouble?
And wasn't Frankie the boyo that was named?
I never heard that.
Well... well, it's true, anyway.
Well...
Here.
Figure that out for your... figure that out for yourself.
That's why Mulligan informed.
Hey.
I saw him going to the Tan... Tans' headquarters tonight.
- What time? - What time?
Half past six.
Well?
Are you taking me back, then?
If your statement checks up, you'll get back.
There's a court of inquiry at 1:30 at the ammunition dump. Be there.
Take him up. Arrange to meet him somewhere.
Bartly, my boy, you'll find me down at Katie Madden's.
Right.
I'll see you boys later.
- Bartly, my boy. - Show him out.
It's him, Dan. I'd stake my life on it. He's the one that did it.
- He's drunk. - Drunk, is it?
It's a wonder he can walk at all.
Tell me, how has Mary taken it?
Her heart is dying inside of her, Commandant, but you'd never know it.
She's waiting for you, Dan.
Look, it would be God's own mercy for you to go and see her.
One thing is certain. We must destroy that informer.
It may be Gypo, but I don't believe it.
He was Frankie's friend and had no motive.
Or it may be Mulligan, though I doubt it again.
Whoever it was, we've got to find them tonight.
One traitor can destroy an army. It's his life against ours.
- You understand, Bartly? - I do.
Keep at Gypo's heels like a pot of glue.
Find out all you can and bring him to the ammunition dump at 1:30.
Find Captain Conlon. He's to mobilise his company and round up Mulligan.
- I'll attend to the rest. Get started. - Right.
Time! Time! Come along, it's closing time.
Time now! You heard what he said. Go on, off you go.
Gypo!
- Attaboy, Gypo! - Stand up, man. Stand up.
Shake hands with Gallagher's right hand.
Come on!
- What are you looking at me for? - I'm not looking at you.
You're a liar.
You're a liar!
You can't just... I can see you looking at me.
A cat can look at a king.
What are you talking about kings for?
Hear, hear.
Don't be talking about kings around here.
You tell him, Gypo. That's the boy.
You'll be getting into trouble.
Ah, you're drunken!
Break it up. Break it up.
What do you think you're doing? I saw you hit that man.
You've got no business hitting men like that. You'll have to come to the station.
What a blow, Gypo. What a blow.
Ah, will you look at the two of them.
Lying there sweet and peaceful as the babes in the wood.
And, gentlemen, there's the hand that rocked the cradle.
Me old Gypo!
Hurry! Hurry!
Run, Gypo! Run!
So, you'll try and beat up a policeman, will you?
Ah, let me go, I had nothing to do with it at all.
I want to get me pipe and me hat!
I paid three shillings for that pipe.
Will you let me get back there and get me pipe and me hat?
Ah, Gypo, me old son...
- Gentlemen. I have an announcement. - Quiet, people.
With my own two eyes, I saw Gypo knock Maloney flying across the road,
- like a man diving off the Bull Wall. - Who is he?
Who is he? Who is he? He's Gypo Nolan, and he's as strong as any bull.
- Hey, Gypo, am I right? - Didn't you ever hear of him?
I tell you what this boyo is - he's a king.
That's what he is. King Gypo. Am I right?
Wasn't he pals with Frankie McPhillip who was shot by the Black and Tans tonight?
Hey. When you mention the dead, you add, "The Lord have mercy on his soul."
Unity, boys, now. Unity.
- Did you hear what he said? - Aye.
"May the Lord have mercy on his soul."
He died fighting for Ireland to be free,
and every man here should do the same thing.
And I'll do it when my time is called, and so will King Gypo. So will King Gypo.
Am I right, Gypo, milord?
Right.
Silence! Quiet!
Silence here. Quiet, everybody. Gypo, you have the floor.
I want ever... I want everybody to come and have some fish and chips
with King Gypo!
Hooray!
Silence! Quiet!
Silence! Quiet, he said.
Quiet!
Proceed, Gypo.
Come on, every man jack and woman too. It's all on Gypo.
You hear that? You're all guests of King Gypo. Am I right, Gypo?
Right. And before long, I'm going to be the cock of the walk around here.
Me and Commandant Gallagher.
It's a secret.
You hear that? It's a secret.
Come on, chuck 'em out. Come on, every man jack.
I'll pay for the lot.
- Blimey, it's a lot of people, guv'nor. - Yes, but they're a lovely crowd.
And every Tom and Judy is a friend of Gypo's. Now, do you get that?
Come on, you little scut. Get busy now, come on. Here, this'll pay for the lot.
Now, do you hear that? He's going to pay for it.
Didn't I tell you?
Blimey! Two quid!
Come on, let's let them have it. Come on.
Now, order, please. Ladies first. Ladies first.
Come on! Gypo's buying fish and chips! Don't cost a ha'penny. Get in there.
- Hey, come on. Get some grub. - Leave me alone. Let go.
No, I don't want any.
Leave me alone or I'll smash you!
It's a fight you're looking for, are you?
So that's what's the matter.
It's a fight you're looking for. You'll get plenty fight...
- Let me have him. - No, let me have him. Let me...
What's the trouble? What's the trouble?
Bartly, my boy!
Hey, let him alone. He's a friend of mine.
Get inside there!
Lay a hand on my friend?!
Come on, man. Come and have some grub.
I'm in a hurry, Gypo. But I'll see you at one o'clock. You know where I mean.
Sure, my boy! Sure!
Oh, it's a fine night! The finest night of my life!
Gypo!
That reminds me.
There's somebody waiting for me.
You know what I mean.
- Good night, all! - Gypo! Gypo! Gypo!
Wait for me, you darling. Wait for me. Wait for me.
Ah, Gypo, you have a sweet voice. A sweet voice.
Listen.
Even the birds are still.
Where are you taking me to, you little scut?
I have to get to Katie's.
Ah, there you go, there you go, talking about Katie.
And we having a fine little jamboree.
Don't worry about your little Judy.
She'll be all right on the streets.
Hey! Hey, what are you doing? What you doing? You big stiff!
You're drunk, that's what you are! You're as drunk as a fiddler's dog!
Hey, take your hands off me! You think you're a king, do you?
Well, you're a big lump of beef, that's all you are. A big lump of beef.
You're drunk, and your last penny is spent,
and I have no further use for you, Mr. Gypo Nolan.
Ipso facto.
And another thing.
Oh, be the holy...
Where did you get it, Gypo? There's enough there to choke a horse.
And me joking about it a few minutes ago.
Ah, Gypo, me boy, you're a king, and the descendant of kings.
I'd fight for you, and die for you when the time comes.
And there's me hand on it, Gypo. The hand of a man that's loyal and true.
Am I right, Gypo?
Come on, you scut. I'm going to find Katie!
Yes, and I'm the boy to lead you to her.
Come on, she's a lovely girl, Gypo. A lovely girl.
You should be proud of her. You should be proud of her.
Come on, don't waste the whole night on her.
- I tell you, it's not the place. - Will you listen to the man?
Are you trying to insinuate that I'd lead you astray, lead King Gypo astray? Never!
Up the barricades first! Up the barricades and die like a man.
Ah. I don't know where I'm at.
Listen, you're in front of Aunt Betty's, the finest shebeen in town,
and your little Katie is inside.
You hear her laughing and singing? And they're playing the piano.
Open up! Open up! Or I'll put my fist through the door!
- What do you want? - Open up and find out.
Open wider, or I'll smash you to a molecule.
- Oh, you will, will you? - Gypo! Show him he can't intimidate us!
Up the rebels!
- What do you want? - What does he want? What does he want?
Don't be disrespectful to me friend Gypo, or you'll have me to settle with.
Ah, shut your gob!
And what do you mean, breaking in here?
- I'm looking for Katie Madden. - Well, you won't be finding her here.
Come on... Come back. Come back, Gypo.
Come on back and face them like a man.
Aw, get out! Get out! Throw 'em out! Throw 'em out! Throw 'em out.
Ah, get 'em outta here.
You're in the wrong place, my young man.
Can't you see we're having a party? Now get out! Get out before I throw you out!
Katie.
My name isn't Katie. What is it you want?
That's what I'm asking. What do you want?
What do you suppose, you old harridan? A drink.
You'll get no drink here, you... social climber!
- Go back to the gutter where you belong. - Don't talk to Gypo and me like that.
And don't be looking down your nose, either, you old squint.
I suppose you think we have no money? Well, we have lashes of it.
Am I right, Gypo, or am I wrong? What did I tell yous? He's as rich as Croesus.
Give everybody a drink. I'm calling for drinks for the house.
- Glasses for everybody! - Glasses for everybody!
Gypo!
Music! Music! Music for me old friend and bosom companion!
Music for King Gypo!
And if there's anyone here thinks he's a match with his fists,
kindly step up.
- Am I right, Gypo, or am I wrong? - You're right. You're right.
Wait! Shut up! Go to the devil, all of you!
There's more drink where this came from.
- There's more where this came from. - Get me more drink.
Gypo!
Stop it! Stop it, stop it, stop it!
Do you want to get me picked up by the police?
Hey. Hey.
I'll keep order for you.
Hey!
Who's making all the row?
The first one that opens his mouth above a whisper... I'll crack his skull open.
- And he'd enjoy doing it. - Yeah.
Gypo! Come on!
I'll teach you to behave like a gentleman amongst ladies.
Hey.
Hey. 'Scuse me.
Can you play "All Those Endearing Charms"?
"Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms".
- That's what I said! - Do you hear? That's what he said.
The commandant wants to see you.
- Oh, Dan! - Mary, darling.
You shouldn't have come. What if the Tans come back?
It's all right, dear. My lads are outside.
Poor darling. I know how you feel.
And there's nothing I can say or do to help, except... well...
I wish it could have been me instead of... Frankie.
If I lost you, I would only want to die.
Poor Mother.
Oh, Dan, when is this trouble going to end, this...
this killing and more killing?
It's hard on you women, I know. You're braver than we are.
- Oh, I'm sorry, dear. - I love you, Mary.
I love you, Dan!
I must ask you some questions... about Frankie.
May I?
Of course.
There must have been an informer, you know that?
The man who knew about Frankie knows enough to destroy us all.
The moment he's frightened, he'll tell the Tans everything.
And they'll wipe us out.
I'm not thinking about myself.
It's the organisation. It's Ireland. You know that, don't you?
I know that, dear.
I have to find that informer.
Did Frankie think he was followed when he came home tonight?
He was sure he wasn't.
- Had he seen or spoken to anybody? - Nobody.
Only his friend Gypo Nolan.
He had to ask him if there was a guard on the house.
- Where? - Let's see.
- The Dunboy House, I think he said. - Mm. I see.
- Did he mention a man named Mulligan? - No, I'm sure not.
We're holding a court of inquiry at 1:30. Can you come? I need you.
If you need me, I'll come.
I'll come back for you about one o'clock.
Can you slip out the back way?
Oh, Dan! Dan! What would I do if anything happened to you?
Whatever happens to you it happens to my own heart!
Dan!
Commandant, there's a patrol of Tans in the neighbourhood. You'd better hurry.
I forgot something.
I gotta be going.
- Gypo! - Gypo!
Oh, Gypo, come on back now and I'll get you a nice drink.
And I'll sing you another song. Come on.
How contemptible you are. You only tolerate him because of his money.
- Watch what you're saying, my fine lady. - I know you hate me.
Simply because I'm... I'm not coarse. Simply because I'm...
No. I hate you because you're stuck-up
and think you're better than anybody else.
She does, too!
I had no right to come here. I should have gone to the police.
Police? Oh, none of that talk.
Keep away from the police.
What do you want the police for?
I want to get back home.
Where's your home?
It's... it's near London.
Now, listen, Gypo, be very careful. Don't do anything you'll regret, Gypo.
How much would it cost to get back there?
There. There's your fare.
Five pounds! What are you after doing, Gypo?
Now, don't be afraid. Now get outta here and go home. Keep the money. Go on.
But... keep away from the police.
You're a good man. A good man.
Five pounds! On my immortal soul! Gypo, do you know what...
That's all right, deary. But she owes me four pounds for board and lodging.
Now, who's gonna pay me that?
Oh, shut your gob! And not another word.
Now, listen, Gypo, don't start this all over again...
Two and five is seven,
and four is eleven.
Eleven pounds.
Ladies and gentlemen, you've seen the wonders of our generosity.
Money scattered like snuff at a wake.
I want you to drink a health to King Gypo,
as brave as a lion and as strong as a bull.
I'd go through fire and water for him, and he'd do the same for me.
From now on, from this night, wherever you see one of us, you'll see the other.
Or vice versa, as the case may be.
- Am I right or am I wrong, Gypo? - Right.
I ask you to drink to the undying friendship...
Shut up!
And who, may I ask, has the impertinence to tell me and Gypo to shut up?
Quiet!
Make way there. Make way!
Bartly, my boy!
- Come and have a drink. - Come along, Gypo.
It's time to be going.
Ha-ha! Be off with you! Who are you to be giving me orders?
Bash him, Gypo. Bash him. Who does he think he is, giving orders to us?
I said shut up!
They're not my orders, they're Gallagher's.
And you'd better be careful about disobeying them.
You're right, Bartly. Is it one o'clock?
It is.
I know who they are. Them's the Republican Army. The Republican Army.
I'm no friend of Gypo. He wormed his way into my confidence.
I'm a son of Erin, and I'd never lift me hand against the crown.
Crown or no crown, army or no army,
who's going to pay me for that last round of drinks?
Come on, Gypo. Let's go.
You ought to be thrown into the Liffey, you old hag!
For serving liquor after hours, and on the holy day of obligation.
Not so fast, you little snake. You can pay for the drinks yourself.
Now, listen, Aunt Betty.
You're a lovely, quiet, decent little woman.
Give me till tomorrow till I raise the wind.
Tomorrow, is it?
McCabe! McCabe!
Oh dear, oh dear.
I have a queer feeling
there's going to be a strange face in heaven in the morning.
Gypo!
Katie. Katie.
I've been looking all over for you. Where have you been?
I was in my digs. I waited for you. Why didn't you come?
What's wrong, Gypo? Where are they taking you?
Ah, Katie, it's all right. It's all right.
Don't you worry.
Gallagher's taking me back.
- Ah, shut up! Come on. - Shut up, Gypo. Let's get out of here.
- Wait... Wait... - Let's get out of here.
Will you stop? Keep your hands off me, will you?
Hey. Do you remember the 20 pounds I was talking about?
The 20 pounds?
I got it. I got it for you.
I got it for you.
20 pounds.
- Come on! - You've had enough talk.
Come on, Gypo.
Gypo!
All right, sir.
Attention!
Our case is prepared, gentlemen.
Watch out below!
Let me alone, will you?
Hello, boys! Here I am!
And I can fight the best six men that ever walked the earth. Come on.
Danny... Danny, me boy. Ha-ha!
Am I right? You and me, we can put 'em in the ground. Come on.
What's the matter with your eye, Bartly?
He got me riled. I gave him a backhander.
- Sit down. - Come on.
Give me my hat, will you? There's my hat.
Bartly, me boy!
Mulligan.
What brings you here?
Man alive, you ought to be in bed.
This is no hour for a sick man to be out.
Dan, I...
Listen, men.
I had a drop taken before I came here, and I didn't know what I was saying.
But... now I remember.
That's the one that informed on Frankie McPhillip.
- I saw him and he knows it. - It's a lie! It's a lie!
I swear, I never left the house except to go to the chapel to say my prayers.
Ha-ha-ha, me fine boyo!
It's easy work for an informer to be swearing oaths.
It's a lie! It's a lie!
Sit down, Gypo.
Sit down.
Peter Mulligan, do you recognise the authority of this court?
I do. I do, Commandant. Heaven knows I do.
Stand here and give the court an account of your whereabouts from noon today.
Could you find no better man to carry off in the middle of the night than me,
that's having to work my hands off
a- stitching in a basement so cold and damp that I've caught me death of cold?
I'm sorry, Mulligan, start at noon. Where were you?
At noon today I was lying in my bed.
I had a pain in my side from bronchitis all morning and I had to stay in my bed.
Then, at one o'clock, the old woman gave me a cup of tea and an egg.
I remember I couldn't eat the egg - a good egg, too.
But good or bad, no matter.
I had to get up then on account of a suit that had to be finished for Mick Foley.
It's got to be ready by Friday. His daughter's getting married...
Never mind Foley. Tell us about yourself.
There y'are. There y'are. Hear what he said?
Come on, Mulligan. Make a clean breast of it.
It's not for me to condemn you, Gypo. Maybe you're not responsible.
Why, blast you! What are you driving at?
Sit down, Gypo, and keep quiet.
- Do you think? - Sit down.
- Bartly, me boy. - Shut up!
Continue, Mulligan.
Well, I worked on till about half past three
or maybe a quarter to four,
when Charlie Corrigan came in and said his brother Dave was just out of prison.
"Where is he?" "He's upstairs", says he.
We went up and we talked over a cup of tea till about six o'clock -
yes, it was just six - I remember I heard the Angelus beginning to strike
on my way down the stairs, because I remember I stopped to cross myself.
Then I ran down home and put on my overcoat - this one, second-hand it is -
and I went to the chapel to... I'm making the Stations of the Cross.
- How far is the chapel from your house? - It's maybe 100 yards, maybe it's more.
If you go around by King's, it's less, but if you go the long way around...
Let's say it's 100 yards. You arrived at the chapel about three minutes past six.
- How long did you stay? - I stayed till about half past six,
and then I stayed outside talking to Father Conroy for about ten minutes...
- Anyone else? - I was coming to that.
Then, after I left Father Conroy, I met Barney Kerrigan there...
Near the chapel?
Yes, it must be within 50 yards of it if you're going by measurements...
Never mind. You couldn't have been near the Black and Tans' headquarters at six?
Heaven forbid.
I hope to die right here if I was.
- You liar! You liar! - Sit down!
- Liar, Bartly! - Shut up!
What did you do after you left Kerrigan?
I went back to the house and did a bit more work till about eight.
Then I felt the pain in my side again and I went to my bed.
Till three men, under Mr. Tom Connor there, came in and bundled me into a cab
without a by-your-leave, as if I was a criminal.
One more question.
Do you bear anyone a grievance - about your sister Suzy, I mean?
My sister Suzy, is it?
Sure, my sister Suzy's name is Mary Ellen.
For 28 years she's been living in Boston. She's the mother of eight children.
- That's enough. - It is that.
- Did you bear any man a grudge? - I bear no man a grudge, on me oath.
No grievance against Frankie McPhillip?
The Lord have mercy on his soul. What for?
I hope his sorrows are over him.
I swear on my immortal soul, Miss McPhillip,
I bore no grudge against your brother.
Kerrigan, did you meet Peter Mulligan at about half past six this evening?
- I did. - Are you sure about the time?
I'm certain. It was just about half six. I was...
- As you were. - Yes, sir.
Bartly, Bartly, Bartly. I...
You will be taken home in the car that brought you here.
I'm sorry this had to happen.
For now, this may help you. We'll see what can be done for you later.
Good night, Mulligan. Show him out, Kerrigan.
Hey! Hey! Wait a minute. He did it!
Now, Gypo, tell us what you did with your time
from six o'clock this evening until Mulholland picked you up at one.
- What's it to do with you where I was? - Tell us what you did
after meeting Frankie McPhillip at the Dunboy House at six.
It's a lie!
I'm sorry, Mary, repeat what Frankie told you when he came home tonight.
He said that he met him at the Dunboy House.
He said he had to make sure there was no guard on our home.
Is that true, Gypo?
If not, why did you say at the wake that you warned him to stay away?
That's it. That's what I told him.
You did see him! Why did you tell those lies about Mulligan?
Were you drunk or what?
Well, I... I...
I'd taken me a drop.
Maybe two. I...
What did you do after leaving Frankie? Tell me.
What did you do after leaving Frankie?!
Well, it was...
Suppose I don't tell you. What will you do?
Suit yourself. If you don't want to tell me,
Bartly Mulholland here can do it for you.
- Come on. Better tell us. - Ah.
I...
I- I-I-I-I'm all mixed up. I-I don't know what I'm doing.
I was... I'm drunk. I...
Dan, I...
I don't know what I'm doing, that's all. I don't know what I'm doing.
Where did you get the money you spent?
I can't make nothing out, Dan. I'm drunk.
You broke your first pound in Ryan's. The blind man says you gave him a pound.
He did, he did, the poor man. A pound note, he gave me.
Two pounds you spent on fish and chips.
Two pounds went for drinks in the shebeen, where Mulholland found you.
Five pounds you gave to some woman.
Four pounds you gave to another woman, known as Aunt Betty.
And finally, you gave five pounds to Katie Madden.
That makes just 20 pounds.
- Ah, me head is sore, Dan. I'm drunk... - Where did you get that 20 pounds?!
I can't remember. I can't remember, Dan.
Confess, man. Ease your soul.
Who was the informer?
I didn't know what I was doing, Dan. I didn't know what I was doing, Dan.
I didn't know what I was doing. You can see what I mean.
Bartly! Boys!
Isn't there a man here that can tell me why I did it?
Me head is sore. I can't tell him. I-I can't tell him. I can't tell him.
I... I don't know why I did it.
I don't know why I did it.
- Dan! - No. Lock him up.
- Come on, Gypo. Come on. Come on. - I don't know why I did it...
Bartly, I didn't know what I was doing. I...
Oh, the Lord have mercy on him.
I'm sorry you had to see this.
Why must we be killing one another? What good will it do?
Oh, why can't we have peace?
- Have mercy on us all. - It's all over now, dear.
I'll take you home in just a moment. It's not a matter of revenge. You know that.
When a man turns informer, it's his life or ours.
Bartly, carry on.
You're next, Donahue.
Next.
- Dennis, draw. - No, you go first.
- I'm not afraid to draw last. - What difference does it make?
You're nearest - draw.
- Why should I? - Come on, it's your turn.
- How do you make that out, man? - Come on, draw.
- Are you afraid, or what? - No.
It's your shot, Dennis.
Commandant! Bartly! He's gone!
Take him down below, men! Come on! Come on! Down below!
He got away, Dan. The fog's so thick you can't see your hand before your face.
- Who's that? - It's Kerrigan.
- His jaw is smashed to a jelly. - That Gypo's an inhuman monster.
We've got to work fast. If he reaches the Tans before we get him,
the whole movement's finished.
Tommy and Daly cover the Tans' headquarters, front and rear.
You take the rest in the van and try to head him off before he crosses the river.
Barry, get reinforcements for Mulholland.
Jump to it! We're done for if he gets away.
Frankie!
- Gypo! - They're after me, Katie.
You put the heart crosswise in me. Where've you been?
They're after me, but they won't get me. We'll get away.
Gypo, shh.
- Where's the 20 pounds I gave you? - What are you talking about?
I did it for you. That's what I couldn't tell Gallagher.
They wouldn't understand. You understand.
You did what?
What have you done?!
I informed on Frankie.
Ah, Gypo.
May God have mercy on your soul.
We'll get away. They won't get me. That's how I love you, darling.
I sold out my old pal for you.
Oh, this is a lovely fire.
Oh, it's a lovely fire.
Lie and rest yourself.
Oh, 'tis good.
Good.
You don't know what it is to be running around in the fog on a night like this.
Katie. Katie.
Sit down beside me, darling.
Me darling.
Darling.
You're the only one I can trust now.
Do you love me, Katie?
Yes, I love you, Gypo.
I'll love you when I'm clay.
But you don't know what you've done to me.
You don't know what you've done.
I'd lay my life down for you.
You poor blind boy.
- What time is it, Dan? - Half past five.
Who's that?
Mother's going to church next door.
Dan, what if you don't find him?
I'd die if I lost you too. I couldn't stand it.
I'm not thinking about myself, darling. It's all the others, the movement.
Ireland.
That poor fool knows so blasted much.
If only there was something I could do. It's this horrible waiting.
- Can't I do anything? - Sure.
- Tell me you love me again. - I love you, Dan. I'll always love you.
No matter what happens, there'll never be anyone else.
Commandant.
- Yes? - She wants to see you.
She insists on it.
- Who? Who? - She won't talk to a soul...
I'm Katie Madden. I'm... Gypo Nolan's girl.
Shut the door.
Commandant. I've come to beg of you on my knees.
He didn't know what he was doing.
You can't hurt him if you know how it was.
Do you know what he did? There's a dead boy lying across the hall.
Yes, and I know why. He didn't know what he was doing. For me. For me, I tell you.
Almighty Father, forgive me for saying the words I did in anger,
shaming him for his poverty and blaming him for mine,
putting the idea into his head.
Forgive him.
He didn't know what he was doing!
Let him go, Commandant.
He'll be punishing himself for the rest of his days... and I with him.
- That's not in my power... - He won't harm you again.
Dan!
Do you think the Tans'll let him alone? They'll drag everything out of him.
His fear will drive him to them, make him a weapon who'll destroy us all.
- I'll take him away. I swear, I will! - Please, Katie. Please!
Ah. You're the one that's been hurt.
I'm not the kind of girl you are. But there was a time when I was.
And I love Gypo no less for being what I am.
And I can see by your eyes that... you love him too.
Suppose it was his life you were begging for.
Wouldn't you be wanting mercy then?
And won't you be giving it to me now?
A sinner.
Where's Gypo now?
Poor lad.
Listen.
He's in my room, the other side of the church.
Dan! Tell me you'll give him a chance!
There's no harm in him. He didn't know what he was doing!
Miss McPhillip, for the sake of your own love, ask him to give my man a chance.
Katie, Katie. This is no time for sentiment. This is war!
I tell you, I gave Gypo the benefit of every doubt, every chance.
He confessed. I didn't pass sentence on him, the court did.
Don't you see how helpless I am?
Suppose it was his life you were begging for!
It is mine, and the lives of hundreds of other men.
Can't you see what you're asking?
I see you won't do it!
You won't!
Come on, now, Dennis. It was you that drew the match. Don't be afraid.
I'm not afraid.
Are you sure he's in there?
The door is locked.
'Tis locked, I tell you.
Katie! Katie!
- I'll bl... I'll blow the lock off. - Yes. Sure, now. That's an idea. Go on.
Mother of God!
Bartly!
Gypo!
'Twas I informed on your son, Mrs. McPhillip.
Forgive me.
Ah, Gypo. I forgive you.
You didn't know what you were doing.
Frankie!
Your mother forgives me!
