0:02:54.942,0:02:56.275
Jesus.
0:03:01.692,0:03:04.608
Anybody out there?[br]I need a little help.
0:03:06.358,0:03:07.900
You're alive.
0:03:35.025,0:03:36.233
OK.
0:03:38.650,0:03:40.608
OK. All right!
0:03:41.525,0:03:42.858
You're all right.
0:03:45.525,0:03:46.900
OK, now.
0:03:48.942,0:03:51.400
You're going to live.[br]Can you stand? Come on.
0:03:51.608,0:03:54.358
Come on. Hold on to me.
0:03:56.733,0:03:57.983
OK...
0:04:06.900,0:04:08.317
OK.
0:04:08.525,0:04:12.233
What do you mean I'm... I'm alive?
0:04:13.983,0:04:17.192
You're on a boat. My boat.
0:04:19.983,0:04:24.317
- Why am I on your boat?[br]- Maybe you can tell me.
0:04:24.775,0:04:26.358
All right?
0:04:31.650,0:04:35.567
I was dead. I was sure of that.
0:04:35.775,0:04:37.900
No. But you're not.[br]You're alive now.
0:04:38.067,0:04:43.733
- Why? Why am I alive?[br]- I don't know. You were in my net.
0:04:46.025,0:04:50.483
- Net?[br]- Yeah. You were drowning.
0:04:50.692,0:04:55.400
You swallowed water.[br]You sank. Don't ask me how.
0:04:56.567,0:04:58.567
- Come on. Are you cold?[br]- Yes.
0:04:58.775,0:05:02.358
Come on. Hold on to me.[br]Get up. Get up.
0:05:04.317,0:05:05.775
OK.
0:05:07.108,0:05:09.317
Watch your step.
0:05:15.192,0:05:18.150
- Keep warm. You need a hospital.[br]- No!
0:05:18.567,0:05:22.400
- Why not?[br]- Because I'm fine.
0:05:22.608,0:05:23.983
You'll need to see a doctor.
0:05:24.192,0:05:26.275
- After a thing like that![br]- No, I don't!
0:05:27.233,0:05:30.525
- I don't want to see anyone.[br]- Will I just disappear, then?
0:05:31.942,0:05:36.817
- I don't mind seeing you.[br]- You don't mind seeing me...
0:05:37.025,0:05:38.567
That's nice.
0:05:39.692,0:05:41.817
- Say again?[br]- Most people do.
0:05:42.025,0:05:44.442
- Well, I don't.[br]- Why not?
0:05:45.400,0:05:48.942
Because... you fished me from the water.
0:05:49.150,0:05:50.442
How are ya?
0:05:52.650,0:05:56.025
Jesus. You really[br]don't want people seeing you.
0:06:00.733,0:06:01.817
What's your name?
0:06:03.525,0:06:07.650
- I don't know.[br]- You lost your memory in the water?
0:06:07.858,0:06:09.942
- Maybe.[br]- I've heard it happens.
0:06:10.733,0:06:13.067
- Does it?[br]- People knock their head.
0:06:13.275,0:06:17.317
Forget the lot.[br]Then it all comes back suddenly, like.
0:06:21.525,0:06:22.650
What's your name?
0:06:24.942,0:06:28.525
My name's Syracuse,[br]but people call me Circus.
0:06:30.233,0:06:31.525
Why?
0:06:31.733,0:06:35.317
To let on, you know, that I'm a clown.
0:06:35.525,0:06:39.442
- A clown... in a circus?[br]- Something like that.
0:06:42.317,0:06:46.108
- I think I'll call you... Syra...[br]- Syracuse.
0:06:46.317,0:06:50.058
OK, then. I'm taking you to a hospital.[br]I've a car on the shore.
0:06:50.107,0:06:51.267
No!
0:06:51.900,0:06:55.108
- Are you one of those asylum seekers?[br]- What?
0:06:55.117,0:06:57.783
You swam here from Arabia?[br]It's a hell of a swim.
0:06:57.850,0:06:59.150
Let me go, then.
0:07:00.650,0:07:02.567
Do you really want to drown?
0:07:03.192,0:07:06.192
- I can't die twice.[br]- Well, you can die once for real.
0:07:07.150,0:07:10.525
Please. I don't need a hospital.
0:07:17.733,0:07:21.650
I know a place.[br]Where people won't see you.
0:07:23.400,0:07:24.442
Come on.
0:07:36.483,0:07:39.400
- Whose is this place?[br]- It was me mam's.
0:07:40.483,0:07:42.983
- She lived here?[br]- On and off.
0:07:43.192,0:07:46.942
- She was a kind of... loner.[br]- Loner?
0:07:47.150,0:07:50.775
Bit like you.[br]She didn't like people much.
0:07:50.983,0:07:52.150
Why?
0:07:53.692,0:07:56.233
She was a kind of gypsy.
0:07:57.733,0:08:01.400
- Where is she now?[br]- She's with her Maker.
0:08:03.900,0:08:07.692
- You mean she's dead?[br]- Yes.
0:08:07.900,0:08:10.817
- Like me.[br]- You're not dead.
0:08:12.483,0:08:16.075
No. But maybe I should have been.
0:08:17.983,0:08:20.567
Here's some sandwiches.[br]Well, me lunch.
0:08:20.775,0:08:23.608
With all the strange fishing today,[br]I forgot to eat it.
0:08:25.692,0:08:26.733
Thank you.
0:08:31.942,0:08:33.942
Right, can I leave you now?
0:08:35.150,0:08:38.942
- If you have to.[br]- I do, yeah. Got to be somewhere.
0:08:40.525,0:08:41.525
OK.
0:08:58.400,0:08:59.650
OK?
0:09:14.317,0:09:16.733
- She's been waiting.[br]- I'm sorry. Something came up.
0:09:16.942,0:09:19.483
- Appointment's for six. She gets upset.[br]- I'll make it up to her.
0:09:19.692,0:09:21.817
How's my baby? Right.
0:09:23.525,0:09:25.775
- Bye, Mam.[br]- You have to fuck it up, don't you?
0:09:25.983,0:09:28.067
Yeah. It's genetic.
0:09:36.650,0:09:38.525
Right, up you get.
0:09:41.025,0:09:45.025
- Anything strange or wonderful?[br]- Why do you always say that?
0:09:45.192,0:09:48.483
I don't know, Annie.[br]It's... a kind of a wish.
0:09:48.692,0:09:53.067
- A wish?[br]- Yeah, that something strange...
0:09:53.275,0:09:56.067
...or wonderful might happen.
0:09:56.275,0:09:59.817
No, Da, nothing strange or wonderful.
0:10:00.025,0:10:01.608
That's good, then.
0:10:03.025,0:10:04.900
- Hello.[br]- How are you?
0:10:06.817,0:10:09.483
- Is Dr Hannon around?[br]- No, just missed him.
0:10:09.692,0:10:14.775
- I thought he was gonna be here.[br]- Something came up. In Cork.
0:10:16.275,0:10:19.275
- How long this time?[br]- Same as usual.
0:10:19.442,0:10:22.983
An hour and a half or so.[br]Does she have a book?
0:10:23.233,0:10:26.692
No book. Maybe I'll tell her a story.
0:10:26.858,0:10:29.358
- I'll be inside if you want me.[br]- All right.
0:10:34.983,0:10:38.733
Well... go on.
0:10:38.942,0:10:42.108
- Go on what?[br]- You said you'd tell me a story.
0:10:43.400,0:10:45.233
OK.
0:10:47.900,0:10:49.817
Once upon a time...
0:10:50.025,0:10:52.358
Does it always have[br]to be "Once upon a time"?
0:10:53.817,0:10:57.817
Well, it's how stories begin.
0:10:58.358,0:11:04.567
- And a very good time it was.[br]- Yes... It was a good time.
0:11:08.317,0:11:10.400
And it was a bad time.
0:11:14.108,0:11:19.483
- How are you feeling, love?[br]- Never mind about me. Go on.
0:11:24.358,0:11:29.400
Once upon a time...[br]there was a fisherman.
0:11:31.025,0:11:37.108
And he was pulling in his nets...[br]and it was a normal day.
0:11:57.358,0:12:00.400
- And?[br]- And what?
0:12:00.608,0:12:03.817
- What was she?[br]- What was she?
0:12:04.025,0:12:08.817
- Was she a mermaid?[br]- No. She wasn't a mermaid.
0:12:09.025,0:12:11.942
- Was she a selkie, then?[br]- What's a selkie?
0:12:12.150,0:12:16.025
A kind of seal woman.[br]You hear them singing out on Seal Rock.
0:12:17.033,0:12:20.067
- Who told you that?[br]- Teacher.
0:12:20.275,0:12:24.275
She comes out of the sea.[br]Loses her seal coat.
0:12:24.483,0:12:27.483
Lives on land until[br]the sea calls her back.
0:12:28.233,0:12:32.900
Well, she didn't have a seal coat.[br]Whatever that is.
0:12:33.775,0:12:38.567
- She seemed to remember drowning.[br]- And?
0:12:40.483,0:12:46.842
- And... that's it.[br]- That's a real shite story.
0:12:47.050,0:12:50.150
Yeah, maybe.
0:12:52.692,0:12:56.025
Remember that thing[br]we ordered from the CRC?
0:12:56.233,0:12:58.608
- What thing?[br]- Wait till I show you.
0:13:02.775,0:13:04.692
Now...
0:13:06.567,0:13:09.942
You should rest as much[br]as possible until we sort you out.
0:13:10.150,0:13:12.067
- All right?[br]- OK.
0:13:20.608,0:13:23.275
- You've got juice now, Annie.[br]- Juice.
0:13:27.650,0:13:29.400
Look at this, Alex.
0:13:32.192,0:13:33.483
Wow.
0:13:33.817,0:13:37.025
- Doesn't do bumps.[br]- Did your daddy buy you that?
0:13:37.233,0:13:40.483
- No. The CRC.[br]- Well, that figures.
0:13:40.692,0:13:43.692
- How's the fishing, Circus?[br]- It's Syracuse.
0:13:43.900,0:13:47.108
- Syracuse, how's the fishing?[br]- Same. See you.
0:13:48.017,0:13:49.075
- When?[br]- Tomorrow.
0:13:49.183,0:13:51.108
- So, did you see the doctor?[br]- He wasn't there.
0:13:51.317,0:13:53.567
- Because you were late, you fool.[br]- Clown.
0:13:53.675,0:13:58.017
Yeah, you clown. He's been doing tests.[br]She needs a kidney.
0:13:58.025,0:14:00.692
- Something about... what's the word?[br]- Compatibility.
0:14:00.900,0:14:02.733
- You understand?[br]- It has to be the right fit.
0:14:02.942,0:14:06.442
Blood group, you flipping clown.[br]You were to ask him had he news.
0:14:06.650,0:14:07.817
Goodbye.
0:14:34.442,0:14:35.942
Still here?
0:14:38.192,0:14:42.942
- You thought I'd be gone?[br]- No. Thought I'd dreamed it.
0:14:43.150,0:14:45.567
You dreamt you fished me[br]from the water?
0:14:45.775,0:14:46.983
Something like that.
0:14:52.025,0:14:54.108
- So you still dreaming now?[br]- That's my mother's coat.
0:14:55.775,0:14:59.775
- Sorry. Had to wash my dress.[br]- Doesn't suit the dream.
0:14:59.983,0:15:05.025
- No?[br]- No. She was large, my mother.
0:15:05.233,0:15:08.483
- And kind of awkward.[br]- Awkward?
0:15:08.692,0:15:12.233
Yes, she was not like you.
0:15:13.067,0:15:16.317
- I can be awkward.[br]- So can most of us.
0:15:21.775,0:15:24.192
- You're going fishing?[br]- Yes.
0:15:25.233,0:15:30.067
- Thought I might catch another.[br]- Another girl like me?
0:15:30.275,0:15:34.025
Yes. Maybe the sea is full of them.
0:15:35.650,0:15:37.358
- Can I come with?[br]- No.
0:15:37.567,0:15:40.733
- Why?[br]- Thought you didn't want to be seen.
0:15:40.942,0:15:45.317
- I can hide again.[br]- And it's bad luck.
0:15:45.525,0:15:48.192
- A girl on a boat?[br]- For the fishing.
0:15:49.483,0:15:52.150
Have you been having good luck lately?
0:15:52.358,0:15:53.775
None.
0:15:58.483,0:16:00.817
OK, then. Get in.
0:16:09.483,0:16:11.483
What was that song you were singing?
0:16:11.692,0:16:15.150
- Just a song.[br]- But you remembered it?
0:16:15.900,0:16:20.317
- I must have.[br]- Do you remember your name?
0:16:21.817,0:16:25.317
- You can call me Ondine.[br]- That's nice.
0:16:26.150,0:16:29.775
- What's it mean?[br]- She came from the water.
0:16:29.983,0:16:34.192
Ondine means[br]"she came from the water"?
0:16:34.400,0:16:38.317
No. Ondine was the girl[br]that came from the water.
0:16:39.483,0:16:42.817
- When?[br]- Long time ago.
0:16:48.025,0:16:50.608
Do you want to help?[br]Load that pot over there.
0:16:52.358,0:16:53.525
Over there.
0:16:54.650,0:16:56.650
- They're empty.[br]- So they are.
0:16:56.858,0:16:59.692
- Did someone rob them?[br]- I hope not.
0:17:46.317,0:17:49.650
- My God.[br]- What?
0:17:49.858,0:17:54.400
- You're playing games with me.[br]- No, I'm not.
0:17:56.983,0:17:58.358
What did you just do?
0:18:00.067,0:18:06.108
- I... I sang.[br]- Yeah. I know. Come down here.
0:18:15.650,0:18:17.817
Sing again, would you?
0:18:38.317,0:18:40.983
Jesus... you bring me luck.
0:18:41.942,0:18:45.567
- Luck?[br]- Haven't had much.
0:18:45.775,0:18:50.650
- Everyone needs luck.[br]- They do. Not everyone gets it.
0:18:50.858,0:18:53.817
- Maybe it's your turn.[br]- That would be nice.
0:18:54.025,0:18:59.275
Right, come over here.[br]Help me tie their claws.
0:18:59.483,0:19:03.483
Right, put one in-between your legs[br]so he doesn't bite you.
0:19:04.400,0:19:07.400
And then just do[br]the other one like this.
0:19:09.150,0:19:11.900
- What do you do with them?[br]- What do you think?
0:19:12.108,0:19:15.150
- Eat them.[br]- No. Sell them.
0:19:16.692,0:19:21.192
- You always catch this much?[br]- No. Almost never.
0:19:23.525,0:19:26.442
Right. There you go.
0:19:26.942,0:19:29.150
Claws there. Grab that.
0:19:34.400,0:19:37.025
It wasn't your song, you know.[br]Couldn't have been.
0:19:37.233,0:19:40.525
- No.[br]- They were already in the pots.
0:19:46.567,0:19:48.692
- Watch yourself.[br]- OK.
0:20:07.983,0:20:09.483
Why you put them back?
0:20:11.858,0:20:15.650
Save them for a rainy day.[br]We sell the rest.
0:20:20.233,0:20:22.025
We'll get something for these.
0:20:22.233,0:20:24.442
- We?[br]- Your share of the catch.
0:20:26.400,0:20:30.275
You did sing. Just don't go[br]around town singing for everyone.
0:20:30.483,0:20:32.858
Come on into the Co-op,[br]we'll get ten euro a pound.
0:20:34.150,0:20:36.442
I don't want to meet anyone.
0:20:37.942,0:20:38.942
You've met me.
0:20:41.317,0:20:43.108
You're the only one.
0:20:44.983,0:20:46.025
OK.
0:20:54.192,0:20:56.733
- How are you, Mary?[br]- All right, Circus.
0:20:56.942,0:21:00.567
- You've done well today, then?[br]- Yes, for a change.
0:21:00.983,0:21:03.900
- And they say there's no lobster left.[br]- They do.
0:21:05.233,0:21:08.025
- Thank you very much.[br]- Lovely.
0:21:21.025,0:21:24.483
- Can I help you, Circus?[br]- Tracy, would this go near you?
0:21:24.692,0:21:27.775
- You want me to try it?[br]- OK.
0:21:56.317,0:21:58.692
It's a bit tight around here.
0:21:58.900,0:22:01.608
- At least you're not invisible.[br]- What?
0:22:01.775,0:22:03.608
Nothing. I'll take it.
0:22:04.400,0:22:07.733
- For who?[br]- Just for Annie.
0:22:07.942,0:22:12.317
- This would never fit Annie.[br]- It will someday.
0:22:14.275,0:22:17.233
- What do you think, Circus?[br]- I think that's not my name.
0:22:17.400,0:22:19.692
Sorry. Da.
0:22:20.983,0:22:23.650
- Do they give you a hard time?[br]- No, they're jealous.
0:22:23.817,0:22:28.192
How many of them have their own[br]set of wheels? Motorised wheels.
0:22:31.733,0:22:34.525
- What are we doing?[br]- I was going to drive you home.
0:22:34.733,0:22:36.983
- I'll race you.[br]- Annie...
0:22:37.192,0:22:40.275
- Yeah?[br]- Go on so.
0:22:47.650,0:22:52.192
- So, what's the story?[br]- Oh, she sings.
0:22:52.400,0:22:53.400
Who sings?
0:22:53.608,0:22:55.650
The woman in the story[br]I told you about.
0:22:55.858,0:22:57.983
- With the fisherman?[br]- Yes.
0:22:58.608,0:23:01.150
She sings to the[br]fishes and he catches them.
0:23:01.358,0:23:03.900
- You sure you're not dreaming, Da?[br]- Dreaming?
0:23:04.108,0:23:07.650
Yeah. You sure this isn't[br]some weird wish-fulfilment thing?
0:23:07.858,0:23:10.150
- Where did you learn words like that?[br]- I go to school.
0:23:10.358,0:23:13.692
- And I didn't?[br]- No. Let's be honest, you didn't.
0:23:13.900,0:23:16.483
- You move your mouth when you read.[br]- Is that bad?
0:23:16.692,0:23:19.567
No, but it means something.[br]So she sings, does she?
0:23:19.775,0:23:22.942
Yeah. A song in a[br]language he has never heard.
0:23:23.150,0:23:25.025
- That would be Selk.[br]- Selk?
0:23:25.233,0:23:26.650
A kind of seal talk.
0:23:26.858,0:23:28.650
- Do you know why she sings?[br]- Why?
0:23:28.858,0:23:30.775
That's the way they[br]communicate underwater.
0:23:30.983,0:23:34.483
- They don't speak, they sing.[br]- So the lobster hear her singing.
0:23:34.692,0:23:35.900
What lobster?
0:23:36.108,0:23:39.442
What I mean is, under the water[br]they hear her singing?
0:23:39.650,0:23:42.025
- The denizens of the deep.[br]- Are you sure?
0:23:42.233,0:23:45.358
- She's a seal. She's not human.[br]- She looks human.
0:23:45.567,0:23:48.233
- In the story?[br]- Yes, in the story.
0:23:48.400,0:23:50.650
- Whose story is this?[br]- It's mine.
0:23:50.858,0:23:53.525
- You're making it up?[br]- Yeah. For you.
0:23:53.692,0:23:57.317
- What're you planning for the weekend?[br]- Practising my new wheels.
0:23:59.067,0:24:00.692
Curious.
0:24:40.650,0:24:42.608
- Got you some things.[br]- Things?
0:24:42.817,0:24:45.358
- Messages.[br]- Messages?
0:24:45.567,0:24:50.900
Yeah, food and stuff. Even girls from[br]the water... You need to eat, right?
0:24:51.817,0:24:53.358
You need clothes.
0:25:02.775,0:25:07.192
Need to... tie their shoelaces.
0:25:23.483,0:25:25.775
Curiouser and curiouser.
0:25:30.983,0:25:33.733
- You know my size?[br]- Tracy in the shop.
0:25:33.942,0:25:37.442
She looked like... your size.
0:25:43.525,0:25:45.108
Thank you.
0:25:47.067,0:25:48.942
- Can I...[br]- What?
0:25:49.150,0:25:52.900
- Can I clean up this place?[br]- I suppose.
0:25:53.108,0:25:57.358
- How long are you staying?[br]- Depends, I guess.
0:25:57.567,0:26:00.650
- On what?[br]- On you.
0:26:02.442,0:26:06.442
On me? It depends on me,[br]you can stay forever.
0:26:06.650,0:26:08.733
- Forever?[br]- Forever.
0:26:09.400,0:26:12.983
Happily ever after.[br]Once upon a time.
0:26:17.733,0:26:21.442
I've been...[br]telling my daughter a story.
0:26:24.192,0:26:25.358
A fairytale.
0:26:43.317,0:26:44.900
What's the story, Da?
0:26:47.775,0:26:49.442
That's great. See you, Deirdre.
0:26:56.483,0:26:59.317
Hi, Annie.[br]God, you've a load of books there.
0:26:59.525,0:27:02.442
- I'm researching.[br]- Researching what?
0:27:03.567,0:27:05.317
Something on seals, is it?
0:27:15.608,0:27:18.067
My name's Syracuse,[br]and I'm an alcoholic.
0:27:18.275,0:27:22.525
I've told you before, Circus, that[br]confessional is not a chapter of AA.
0:27:22.733,0:27:24.983
Well, there's none in this town, Father.
0:27:36.358,0:27:39.983
I've been sober two years,[br]seven months and 18 days.
0:27:42.025,0:27:44.817
This is where they all clap, Father.
0:27:45.025,0:27:47.442
- Did you see that in the movies?[br]- Yes.
0:27:48.317,0:27:51.233
- Thank you.[br]- So, tell me.
0:27:51.442,0:27:53.150
I had a dream, Father.
0:27:53.358,0:27:57.650
I'm at his funeral and she's beside me,[br]and I'm panicking again.
0:27:57.858,0:28:00.008
Maybe you still want to be with her.
0:28:00.017,0:28:03.025
No, I'm panicking because[br]I'm back with her.
0:28:03.233,0:28:07.608
Can't happen. She's still drinking.[br]All I want is Annie.
0:28:07.817,0:28:10.650
Perhaps you need[br]to talk to someone, Circus.
0:28:10.858,0:28:15.733
- It's Syracuse. And I'm talking to you.[br]- No, I mean a counsellor.
0:28:15.942,0:28:19.275
I could put you both in touch[br]with one if you'd give me permission.
0:28:19.483,0:28:23.317
You have no permission.[br]I only talk to you because it's secret.
0:28:23.525,0:28:27.900
Well, whenever you feel able to,[br]tell me and I'll set it in motion.
0:28:28.775,0:28:34.275
Until then...[br]try to control your feelings.
0:28:35.942,0:28:38.233
Anything else?
0:28:39.150,0:28:40.775
I suppose there is.
0:28:42.150,0:28:46.358
- Yeah, I stole.[br]- Oh, dear.
0:28:47.150,0:28:52.192
- What did you steal, Syracuse?[br]- Some ladies' clothes.
0:28:52.400,0:28:56.808
Oh, dear, dear, dear, dear.[br]I don't like this at all, Syracuse.
0:28:56.917,0:28:59.567
- This is a bad development.[br]- It's not what you're thinking, Father.
0:28:59.775,0:29:01.692
- There was a reason.[br]- What was the reason?
0:29:01.900,0:29:05.567
I stole them because I was[br]embarrassed to be seen buying them.
0:29:05.675,0:29:08.850
- What did you want them for?[br]- They were for this girl I met, Father.
0:29:09.058,0:29:12.900
A girl? Where did you meet this girl?
0:29:13.942,0:29:18.150
I pulled her out of the water in my net.
0:29:18.358,0:29:20.650
- In your net?[br]- In my fishing net.
0:29:20.858,0:29:24.483
- You're joking, surely?[br]- No, not joking.
0:29:25.092,0:29:28.675
Dreaming, maybe. But sure I went back[br]to my boat this morning and...
0:29:28.883,0:29:30.300
...there she was.
0:29:30.508,0:29:34.425
And did she spend[br]the night in the boat?
0:29:35.800,0:29:38.050
- No.[br]- No?
0:29:38.258,0:29:43.425
- So where did this girl sleep?[br]- I'm not telling you.
0:29:43.633,0:29:46.842
- No. I can't force you to, can I?[br]- No.
0:29:47.050,0:29:51.633
- And you can't tell anyone, either.[br]- No, my lips are sealed.
0:29:51.842,0:29:55.925
But you'll keep me[br]informed of developments, Syracuse?
0:29:56.133,0:29:57.217
Definitely, Father.
0:29:58.925,0:30:02.675
- So, will I see you at mass on Sunday?[br]- You know you won't, Father.
0:30:02.883,0:30:05.425
I suppose I do.[br]You only avail of the confessional...
0:30:05.633,0:30:08.633
Because there's no AA chapter[br]in this poxy town.
0:30:08.842,0:30:11.883
You wouldn't say a couple of Hail Marys[br]on your way out, would you?
0:30:37.758,0:30:40.842
- What are you reading, Annie?[br]- For school. Selkies.
0:30:41.050,0:30:43.425
Selkies? They're a Scottish thing.
0:30:43.633,0:30:45.717
This one isn't.
0:33:00.467,0:33:03.050
Curiouser and curiouser.
0:33:05.842,0:33:06.842
What's that?
0:33:07.050,0:33:09.717
What Alice said to the White Rabbit.
0:33:11.383,0:33:14.425
- Come again?[br]- Curiouser...
0:33:14.633,0:33:15.800
...and...
0:33:18.050,0:33:22.842
...curiouser.[br]- See. I knew you were real.
0:33:26.425,0:33:30.883
- I was real?[br]- Yes. I knew it wasn't a story.
0:33:32.675,0:33:37.508
- What wasn't a story?[br]- The fisherman. The girl in the net.
0:33:40.883,0:33:43.008
My da told me a story about you.
0:33:45.425,0:33:49.967
- Your dad is Syracuse?[br]- Yeah, the fisherman.
0:33:50.175,0:33:53.592
So, do you have magic powers?
0:33:53.800,0:33:56.175
- Do you?[br]- You know I don't.
0:33:56.383,0:33:59.258
OK. You don't.
0:34:00.300,0:34:04.675
- Can you make me better?[br]- Better?
0:34:04.883,0:34:09.132
I'm sick. I've got kidney failure.[br]Didn't he tell you?
0:34:13.007,0:34:15.425
- What's your name?[br]- It's Annie.
0:34:15.632,0:34:18.175
Annie.
0:34:19.382,0:34:23.342
- I'm Ondine.[br]- Ondine.
0:34:25.967,0:34:28.550
I'm examining you for webs.
0:34:29.382,0:34:32.092
Well, do I disappoint you?
0:34:32.300,0:34:37.342
Ondine is French, isn't it?[br]What's a French selkie doing here?
0:34:37.550,0:34:41.842
- Who said I was French?[br]- You got lost, did you?
0:34:42.882,0:34:46.592
Yes. I suppose I did get lost.
0:34:46.800,0:34:49.175
- You cold?[br]- Suddenly.
0:34:49.382,0:34:50.757
Because you're on land now.
0:34:50.967,0:34:53.342
Your natural habitat[br]is in the water, you see.
0:34:54.882,0:34:58.842
- You seem to know a lot about me.[br]- Yes. I've been reading...
0:34:59.050,0:35:04.000
...researching.[br]- Want to come inside?
0:35:04.008,0:35:07.300
If I walk across the threshold,[br]you might put a hex on me.
0:35:07.508,0:35:12.092
- What's a hex?[br]- It's bad news, a hex.
0:35:19.092,0:35:22.508
Maybe underwater feels better.
0:35:22.717,0:35:26.133
- Better than what?[br]- Some days I'm sick all the time.
0:35:26.342,0:35:28.383
Does it feel better underwater?
0:35:30.258,0:35:32.675
- I'm not sure I know what you mean.[br]- Oh, come on.
0:35:32.883,0:35:35.967
Let's not try and fool each other.[br]We both know the truth.
0:35:36.175,0:35:39.217
And if we're not straightforward,[br]there's no point in being friends.
0:35:41.717,0:35:43.342
So we're to be friends, then?
0:35:43.800,0:35:47.383
We could be.[br]If we play our cards right.
0:35:47.550,0:35:49.508
So I need you to be specific.
0:35:50.175,0:35:53.508
Does it feel better in that[br]home of yours under the waves?
0:35:55.800,0:35:58.967
Well, it... definitely feels different.
0:35:59.175,0:36:01.967
And I know you don't[br]talk down there. You sing.
0:36:04.550,0:36:08.008
Yes. Singing travels better underwater.
0:36:08.925,0:36:13.133
- And what about the cold?[br]- Get used to it.
0:36:13.342,0:36:17.008
Oh, of course, you have[br]your seal coat, don't you?
0:36:18.800,0:36:19.842
My seal coat?
0:36:20.050,0:36:22.342
Look, there's no point[br]in beating round the bush.
0:36:22.550,0:36:25.717
I do know these things.[br]I've been studying them.
0:36:29.008,0:36:32.633
So... tell me about my seal coat.
0:36:32.842,0:36:34.842
You lose it when you[br]get out of the water.
0:36:35.050,0:36:37.300
And you can't go back in[br]until you find it again.
0:36:37.508,0:36:42.092
And if you do find it and bury it[br]on land, you can stay for seven years,
0:36:42.258,0:36:44.425
and you cry seven tears.
0:36:44.633,0:36:47.550
But then when the crying is done,[br]your kind of folk
0:36:47.758,0:36:51.342
can often find unexpected[br]happiness with a...
0:36:51.550,0:36:54.675
- What's it called?[br]- Are you lost for words?
0:36:54.883,0:36:56.925
A landsman, that's what.
0:36:57.133,0:37:01.717
Selkie women often find[br]unexpected happiness with a landsman.
0:37:01.925,0:37:04.383
And that's all I know.
0:37:06.550,0:37:10.467
This is my granny's place.[br]He misses her.
0:37:17.258,0:37:18.425
And where do you live?
0:37:18.633,0:37:21.967
With me ma, and it's not[br]underneath the waves.
0:37:22.175,0:37:24.383
She'll be wondering where I am.
0:37:28.092,0:37:29.508
See you again.
0:37:32.092,0:37:33.967
Your cheek is wet.
0:37:34.175,0:37:37.300
- Is that one of the seven tears?[br]- Maybe.
0:37:37.467,0:37:39.717
You've only six left.
0:37:44.842,0:37:49.092
- Can I help you there, Circus?[br]- Yeah. Have you any books on selkies?
0:37:49.300,0:37:52.550
We do. But, strangely enough,[br]they're all out at the moment.
0:37:52.758,0:37:55.217
- Out?[br]- Your daughter has them.
0:37:55.425,0:37:58.133
- Annie?[br]- She's doing a project, she said.
0:37:58.300,0:38:02.258
Yeah. Just trying to help her[br]get ahead of the game.
0:38:02.425,0:38:04.092
Good man.
0:38:07.217,0:38:10.258
- Does it do stunts, Annie?[br]- What do you mean, stunts?
0:38:10.467,0:38:12.008
Stunts like this.
0:38:18.883,0:38:21.258
I don't think it's a[br]recreational vehicle.
0:38:21.467,0:38:23.925
- So it's only for spaz?[br]- You don't say "spaz".
0:38:24.133,0:38:26.550
You say "special needs".[br]Don't you, Annie?
0:38:26.758,0:38:29.092
- Yeah.[br]- See, you feckin' retard. Say it.
0:38:29.300,0:38:33.092
- Special needs.[br]- Special needs, Annie. Give us a go?
0:38:35.175,0:38:38.675
- Does it float?[br]- I don't think it's amphibious.
0:38:38.883,0:38:41.217
Special needs, my arse.
0:38:49.800,0:38:51.092
Come on, guys.
0:38:56.883,0:39:00.550
- Is mam up yet?[br]- No.
0:39:01.758,0:39:04.717
- Was there something up?[br]- Why do you think?
0:39:04.925,0:39:07.883
- Is it battery trouble?[br]- It got wet.
0:39:10.383,0:39:12.883
Come here. I don't bite.
0:39:13.092,0:39:15.758
Come on. Jesus, you're getting big.
0:39:18.842,0:39:21.217
You said you had[br]selkies in Scotland.
0:39:21.425,0:39:24.967
Aye. We invented selkies.
0:39:25.175,0:39:27.342
In the Outer Hebrides.
0:39:27.550,0:39:32.258
- You mean you made them up?[br]- No. No, they're a Scottish thing.
0:39:41.592,0:39:42.800
There you go.
0:39:48.467,0:39:51.925
- She doesn't speak like you.[br]- Who?
0:39:58.425,0:40:02.592
Oh, we've got secrets,[br]have we, little girl?
0:40:03.675,0:40:07.133
- Well, you could say thanks.[br]- Thanks.
0:40:08.675,0:40:10.217
You're welcome.
0:40:51.675,0:40:54.925
- Do you want to come again?[br]- Fishing?
0:40:55.133,0:40:56.675
Only if you want, like.
0:40:57.883,0:40:59.967
You promise I'll see nobody but you?
0:41:00.175,0:41:02.758
I promise you'll see nobody but me.
0:41:04.967,0:41:06.508
You're swimming in my dress?
0:41:08.842,0:41:12.300
It was a gift... from a fisherman.
0:41:35.967,0:41:40.092
- Can I help?[br]- You can man the tiller.
0:41:45.467,0:41:48.925
Right. Straight out to sea.
0:41:55.342,0:41:59.800
Keep her steady, would you?[br]Fisheries Board.
0:42:14.842,0:42:17.758
You can't really guide[br]a boat with your foot.
0:42:20.258,0:42:23.092
- I'm not doing well?[br]- No, I never said that.
0:42:48.383,0:42:49.758
Oh, shit.
0:43:16.633,0:43:18.050
Would you look at that?
0:43:20.675,0:43:22.675
- My God.[br]- What?
0:43:22.883,0:43:25.467
That's weird. Salmon.
0:43:25.675,0:43:29.633
- Weird?[br]- You don't get salmon trawling.
0:43:29.842,0:43:33.258
- Trawling.[br]- Only with a gill net.
0:43:34.175,0:43:37.467
- Curiouser and curiouser.[br]- Where did you hear that?
0:43:38.342,0:43:40.217
- Alice said it.[br]- To the White Rabbit.
0:43:40.425,0:43:42.433
- Annie says it, too.[br]- Annie?
0:43:42.642,0:43:44.042
My daughter.
0:43:48.925,0:43:50.508
Jesus Christ.
0:44:12.008,0:44:15.592
- What?[br]- They're going to come on board.
0:44:22.842,0:44:24.508
Lads.
0:44:30.425,0:44:32.675
- See you caught salmon.[br]- I did.
0:44:33.842,0:44:36.383
- How did you catch them?[br]- Trawling.
0:44:36.592,0:44:39.842
- And you expect us to believe that?[br]- No, but it's true.
0:44:40.050,0:44:42.425
- Show us your gill nets.[br]- In the hold.
0:44:50.342,0:44:52.133
- That's not wet.[br]- I know.
0:44:52.300,0:44:56.175
- So how did you dry it?[br]- I didn't. Told you, I didn't use it.
0:45:02.925,0:45:04.883
- There's a girl here, Circus.[br]- Where?
0:45:05.675,0:45:07.133
In your net.
0:45:09.008,0:45:13.175
- Is that illegal?[br]- No, but... it's unusual.
0:45:14.175,0:45:17.000
- And you can see her?[br]- She's right here in front of me.
0:45:17.008,0:45:19.675
Ask her how I caught the salmon.
0:45:19.925,0:45:21.467
How did he catch them?
0:45:22.508,0:45:23.800
Trawling.
0:45:24.008,0:45:26.425
And you want us[br]to believe in fairytales?
0:45:26.883,0:45:28.217
Yes.
0:45:30.675,0:45:34.092
- What did she say?[br]- She said yes.
0:45:34.300,0:45:39.008
Well, then, you'd better believe her.[br]Right. Close it up, lads.
0:46:04.300,0:46:08.342
So, they saw you.[br]Is that all right?
0:46:08.550,0:46:11.125
- No.[br]- That's a relief in a way.
0:46:11.333,0:46:14.092
- Means you're not in my mind.[br]- Means they'll talk.
0:46:14.500,0:46:16.258
Course they will.
0:46:18.025,0:46:22.067
- What will they say?[br]- Take your pick.
0:46:22.275,0:46:25.733
Circus. Clowns. Salmon. A girl.
0:46:27.650,0:46:30.317
I'm going to the harbour.[br]Do you want me to drop you off?
0:46:35.067,0:46:37.400
- It's done, isn't it?[br]- What's done?
0:46:38.525,0:46:40.067
I've been seen.
0:46:57.150,0:46:59.400
Here, take a look at[br]the girl coming in on that boat.
0:46:59.608,0:47:00.858
She's not bad, is she?
0:47:01.692,0:47:05.317
It is a small town. Everyone stares.
0:47:07.150,0:47:08.942
You can say that again.
0:47:09.150,0:47:11.150
What's wrong with being seen?
0:47:13.192,0:47:16.317
Nothing. When you look good.
0:47:17.733,0:47:19.483
You look mighty.
0:47:21.817,0:47:23.817
I'm going to have to[br]declare these, Circus.
0:47:24.025,0:47:25.275
- They've already seen them.[br]- Who?
0:47:25.483,0:47:26.650
The Fisheries.
0:47:29.192,0:47:30.483
They're fine, believe me.
0:47:34.775,0:47:35.858
Thanks, Mary.
0:47:41.358,0:47:42.942
Can I buy you a present?
0:47:43.983,0:47:46.692
Clothes. But can I choose this time?
0:47:46.900,0:47:49.900
- You don't like the dress?[br]- No, I like it, just...
0:47:50.108,0:47:53.233
...underwear could be better.[br]- Didn't fit?
0:47:54.400,0:47:59.192
- Tight around the edges.[br]- You have edges?
0:48:04.483,0:48:06.900
- I knew it wasn't a story.[br]- What wasn't a story?
0:48:07.108,0:48:09.275
You're such a shite storyteller anyway.
0:48:09.483,0:48:14.150
- I knew it had to be true.[br]- Ondine, this is my daughter, Annie.
0:48:14.358,0:48:17.275
- We've met before.[br]- Yes, we have.
0:48:17.483,0:48:20.650
- What are we doing?[br]- Buying clothes.
0:48:20.858,0:48:22.317
OK.
0:48:26.692,0:48:31.108
This town is what you'd call[br]sartorially challenged.
0:48:31.317,0:48:32.567
What does that mean?
0:48:33.650,0:48:35.817
A supermodel's nightmare.
0:48:44.858,0:48:46.942
Do selkies do lingerie?
0:48:48.233,0:48:49.442
Why not?
0:48:49.650,0:48:53.442
They wear seaweed knickers[br]and a scallopy bra.
0:48:53.650,0:48:57.233
But that's underwater.[br]Won't do here.
0:48:58.983,0:49:03.317
I'm not suggesting she[br]buy them all, Da. Just a selection.
0:49:07.983,0:49:12.192
That's where I found her...[br]Roan Carraig.
0:49:12.400,0:49:15.858
- You know what it means?[br]- Seal Rock.
0:49:16.067,0:49:19.525
It's a kind of sanctuary for her kind.
0:49:19.733,0:49:25.275
- Her kind?[br]- Yeah. The well-dressed kind.
0:49:28.817,0:49:30.317
What do you think?
0:49:32.608,0:49:34.483
Or should we say[br]what do they think?
0:50:04.525,0:50:06.317
You cleaned the place.
0:50:08.692,0:50:10.483
Like Snow White.
0:50:13.608,0:50:16.983
- Is that all right?[br]- But I'm not a dwarf, you know.
0:50:17.192,0:50:19.442
I'm little, but I'm not a dwarf.
0:50:21.067,0:50:25.067
- Who is Snow White?[br]- Doesn't matter. She didn't swim.
0:50:29.067,0:50:31.442
- Can you swim, Annie?[br]- No.
0:50:31.650,0:50:34.317
There's no pool in the town,[br]and I've never had lessons.
0:50:35.442,0:50:37.525
I think it could relax you a lot.
0:50:39.900,0:50:41.483
Unless you have a fear of water.
0:50:41.900,0:50:45.858
I wouldn't have a fear of water[br]with a water creature around me.
0:50:50.858,0:50:53.150
OK, then. Come on.
0:50:56.275,0:50:57.650
What will I wear?
0:50:59.858,0:51:00.900
Underwear.
0:51:10.858,0:51:14.317
- She's gone already.[br]- Where?
0:51:14.525,0:51:20.358
The caravan at Poulin. Is that[br]where she sleeps, your water baby?
0:51:30.858,0:51:34.025
Thought I might[br]take her out for the day.
0:51:34.233,0:51:37.858
- The regatta starts at three.[br]- Oh, the three of you.
0:51:38.067,0:51:40.733
Go diving for pearls?
0:51:42.858,0:51:44.525
Something like that.
0:51:47.275,0:51:49.108
What kind of stories are you spinning?
0:51:53.775,0:51:55.817
Just relax.
0:51:57.108,0:52:00.442
OK. Lie down now.
0:52:00.650,0:52:02.400
I'll hold you.
0:52:04.567,0:52:08.608
Easy. You see?[br]You're a sea creature.
0:52:08.817,0:52:11.650
- You think?[br]- I know.
0:52:12.275,0:52:14.525
Relax. Relax.
0:52:18.983,0:52:22.108
OK, let's go on the raft. OK?
0:52:46.442,0:52:48.733
- What's that?[br]- Just something I found.
0:52:48.942,0:52:52.150
- You found your seal coat.[br]- Maybe.
0:52:52.358,0:52:55.733
- Are you going to bury it?[br]- Would you like me to bury it?
0:52:55.942,0:52:58.483
Yes, because it means[br]you'll be here for seven years.
0:52:58.692,0:53:02.608
- Would you like that?[br]- I would like that a lot.
0:53:03.817,0:53:06.067
- We had better bury it then.[br]- Absolutely.
0:53:06.275,0:53:07.525
OK.
0:53:10.608,0:53:12.108
Help me.
0:53:12.317,0:53:15.108
Will I remember where it is?[br]In seven years' time?
0:53:15.317,0:53:16.817
Watch this.
0:53:33.483,0:53:34.900
Seventeen steps.
0:53:36.983,0:53:40.817
And it's our secret.[br]We tell nobody.
0:53:43.692,0:53:47.317
You know, Da, if she buries her seal[br]coat she stays seven years on land?
0:53:47.525,0:53:50.025
- Annie...[br]- It's true.
0:53:50.233,0:53:55.192
- With a... what's it called again?[br]- A landsman.
0:53:55.400,0:53:57.442
Unless her selkie husband[br]claims her back.
0:53:57.650,0:54:01.442
- I don't have a husband.[br]- Maybe you don't remember, but you do.
0:54:01.650,0:54:03.983
All selkies do.
0:54:15.983,0:54:20.400
- Go on! Go on![br]- Oh, you bastard!
0:54:30.858,0:54:34.692
These are magic, man, I'm telling you.[br]Here. Have a chip.
0:54:36.108,0:54:39.650
And the thing last is, Da,[br]she can make a wish come true.
0:54:39.858,0:54:43.000
- Please, Annie.[br]- If you're a selk you can.
0:54:43.075,0:54:45.408
But I'm not a selk.
0:54:46.533,0:54:49.033
OK. You're not a selk.
0:54:58.325,0:55:01.158
- Come on, lads, pull harder![br]- Come on, lads!
0:55:16.575,0:55:19.408
So you're not a selk. Prove it!
0:55:19.617,0:55:20.992
What?
0:55:23.742,0:55:26.575
Annie! Annie!
0:55:27.825,0:55:29.783
Annie! Annie?
0:55:31.658,0:55:33.617
Annie? Annie?
0:55:38.075,0:55:39.408
Annie?
0:55:40.575,0:55:41.783
Annie?
0:55:42.367,0:55:43.367
Annie!
0:55:55.950,0:55:57.617
Jesus Christ...
0:56:04.700,0:56:06.867
Annie! Come here to me.
0:56:08.117,0:56:10.992
Come here, baby.[br]I got you, I got you.
0:56:11.200,0:56:12.367
I got you.
0:56:12.575,0:56:15.325
Jesus Christ. What happened?
0:56:15.533,0:56:17.408
- The brakes went.[br]- What?
0:56:17.617,0:56:20.575
- The brakes went.[br]- Let me see you.
0:56:20.783,0:56:22.450
- Come here![br]- And I was lucky, wasn't I?
0:56:22.658,0:56:25.575
- Lucky, how?[br]- That she breathes underwater.
0:56:25.783,0:56:26.950
Jesus.
0:56:38.075,0:56:40.825
- What happened?[br]- She fell in the water chasing a duck.
0:56:41.033,0:56:42.742
- Come here.[br]- The brakes went, Ma.
0:56:42.950,0:56:47.158
- By the pier. She saved me.[br]- Your water baby?
0:56:47.367,0:56:51.117
Clown. Come on. We'll get you[br]upstairs and into a bath, quick.
0:56:58.117,0:57:00.408
The brakes, they didn't go, did they?
0:57:00.617,0:57:05.825
- No. She did that herself.[br]- Why? Why did she do it herself?
0:57:06.033,0:57:10.325
To test me, maybe?[br]See how much I'd do for her.
0:57:15.242,0:57:18.825
Strange... Feels like home.
0:57:20.575,0:57:22.908
Who is this woman, Annie?
0:57:23.117,0:57:26.658
She's from the Orkney Islands.[br]She swam round the coast to here.
0:57:26.867,0:57:27.950
What if she was?
0:57:28.158,0:57:31.242
I imagine she'd be a wee bit wet[br]around the scratcher, though?
0:57:31.450,0:57:35.450
- Bit cold round the old thigh region.[br]- Stop him, Ma. Close the door.
0:57:35.658,0:57:38.033
Your clown of a fisherman[br]would not notice, would he?
0:57:38.242,0:57:40.075
Close the door, Ma.
0:57:41.533,0:57:44.450
Did he declare her[br]to the Fisheries Board?
0:57:44.658,0:57:46.783
How much would you do for her?
0:57:48.200,0:57:51.867
- You testing me, too?[br]- I'm sorry.
0:57:55.783,0:57:58.158
So why do they call you[br]Circus the clown?
0:57:59.200,0:58:03.408
Because I was one for years. I drank.
0:58:04.617,0:58:08.908
- What made you stop?[br]- Annie.
0:58:09.117,0:58:11.700
I came back from a week[br]on the trawlers and...
0:58:11.908,0:58:16.158
...found her unconscious.[br]Her mother out on the piss.
0:58:16.825,0:58:21.283
I thought one of us better be sober.[br]Then she kicked me out.
0:58:22.617,0:58:25.825
- You couldn't take Annie with you?[br]- This is Ireland.
0:58:27.033,0:58:29.783
Men like me don't get custody.
0:58:29.992,0:58:32.033
- Someone was looking for her.[br]- Who?
0:58:32.242,0:58:33.408
- A man.[br]- A dark-haired man?
0:58:33.617,0:58:34.658
- Yeah.[br]- You didn't tell him.
0:58:34.867,0:58:36.075
- What's her name?[br]- Ondine.
0:58:36.283,0:58:38.492
That's not what he called her.
0:58:40.700,0:58:42.742
- Men like you?[br]- Fishermen.
0:58:53.867,0:58:55.408
Are you dry?
0:59:08.283,0:59:10.700
Didn't Annie tell you?
0:59:10.908,0:59:13.867
When a selk makes[br]love to a fisherman, she...
0:59:14.075,0:59:16.158
...she weeps...
0:59:16.950,0:59:19.242
...salt tears.
0:59:37.700,0:59:41.283
You said you died. In the water.
0:59:42.783,0:59:45.158
How many lives do you have?
0:59:45.367,0:59:49.200
For you? I can't count.
1:00:08.325,1:00:11.200
My name's Syracuse[br]and I'm an alcoholic.
1:00:11.408,1:00:15.408
And you've been sober for[br]two years, seven months and...
1:00:15.617,1:00:17.658
Twenty-one days.
1:00:17.867,1:00:20.992
- Doing very well, Syracuse.[br]- It's about the girl, Father.
1:00:21.200,1:00:25.283
Oh, yes.[br]The one you... met... out fishing.
1:00:26.700,1:00:30.492
- I drew her up in a net, Father.[br]- She looked pretty real to me, Circus.
1:00:30.700,1:00:34.492
- Syracuse.[br]- Sorry. Syracuse.
1:00:36.575,1:00:40.783
So, what about her?[br]You've sinned with her, I suppose?
1:00:42.150,1:00:43.575
Of course.
1:00:43.783,1:00:47.025
And I don't suppose[br]you want absolution?
1:00:47.833,1:00:50.083
- No.[br]- No.
1:00:50.292,1:00:54.958
So, why are you here, Syracuse?
1:00:55.167,1:00:58.833
You know the story about[br]the king who had a secret,
1:00:59.042,1:01:03.375
and it drove him mad[br]so he told it to the tree?
1:01:03.583,1:01:06.500
OK, so... pretend I'm a tree.
1:01:08.958,1:01:12.708
She brings me luck...[br]and I don't know why.
1:01:15.708,1:01:18.292
I'm afraid, Father...
1:01:18.500,1:01:20.500
...because...
1:01:21.250,1:01:24.542
...I'm beginning to hope.
1:01:25.292,1:01:27.458
We should never lose hope, Syracuse.
1:01:27.667,1:01:30.042
She was drowned, Father,[br]my net brought her back to life.
1:01:30.250,1:01:32.375
- It doesn't make sense.[br]- I know.
1:01:32.583,1:01:34.917
None of it makes sense,[br]that's why I'm afraid.
1:01:35.125,1:01:39.042
I know something's going[br]to happen, something wonderful.
1:01:39.250,1:01:41.583
Or terrible.
1:01:44.167,1:01:46.458
It's just the kind of girl she is.
1:01:48.250,1:01:50.917
It's just the kind of person she is.
1:01:53.042,1:01:55.500
And that's my secret.
1:01:57.333,1:01:59.375
So what kind of tree are you, Father?
1:02:00.458,1:02:02.833
I suppose I'm an oak.
1:02:03.667,1:02:05.333
You look more like one of the ones
1:02:05.542,1:02:08.208
- they make hurley sticks out of.[br]- Oh, an ash, yeah.
1:02:09.458,1:02:11.708
As long as you're a tree.
1:02:14.500,1:02:16.667
Hey. You Syracuse?
1:02:16.875,1:02:18.625
- Yeah.[br]- Syracuse the fisherman?
1:02:18.833,1:02:21.375
- What's it to you?[br]- You got a light?
1:02:22.792,1:02:27.208
The girl on the boat.[br]What do you call her?
1:02:28.208,1:02:30.208
My mascot.
1:02:40.625,1:02:44.000
- You were upset last night.[br]- Not so much.
1:02:44.208,1:02:48.333
- Your mam said you were.[br]- Well, she imagines things.
1:02:50.458,1:02:54.917
- Do you imagine things, Da?[br]- I leave that to you.
1:02:55.125,1:02:58.000
It's because[br]I've too much time on my own.
1:02:58.208,1:03:02.500
My blood going from here to there.[br]I try to imagine a happy ending.
1:03:02.708,1:03:07.208
It's hard.[br]Some days it's hard.
1:03:16.208,1:03:21.625
- Where is everybody?[br]- Oh, God. In town for the regatta.
1:03:21.833,1:03:23.750
- The regatta?[br]- Yeah.
1:03:23.958,1:03:29.042
There's bands playing. Late night[br]opening. Mam told me, I forgot.
1:03:29.250,1:03:31.542
- Have you got a key?[br]- Yeah, but I left it inside.
1:03:31.750,1:03:33.792
- Annie.[br]- Come on.
1:03:36.875,1:03:40.333
- Where does she drink these days?[br]- Skippers.
1:03:40.542,1:03:42.042
Skippers?
1:04:32.583,1:04:34.375
Hello?
1:04:38.750,1:04:39.958
Hello?
1:05:05.958,1:05:08.667
- Done it, Ma.[br]- Oh, you good thing, you.
1:05:09.875,1:05:11.958
Careful.[br]They don't serve knackers here.
1:05:12.167,1:05:14.625
Just give us the keys, Maura.[br]I'll take her home.
1:05:14.833,1:05:16.458
She'll be fine.[br]A bar never hurt anyone.
1:05:16.667,1:05:19.333
- Please, Maura.[br]- You've cleared a few in your time.
1:05:19.500,1:05:22.708
- She's coming to my place.[br]- She's not. Go back to your caravan.
1:05:22.917,1:05:25.292
Home to your mermaid, Circus, huh?
1:05:25.500,1:05:28.000
You know, he's got himself[br]a water baby?
1:05:28.208,1:05:31.458
- Annie?[br]- I'll be fine. You just go, Da.
1:05:33.000,1:05:35.208
- Two shots, aye?[br]- Two shots, is it?
1:05:35.417,1:05:38.500
That's it. Middle pocket, right?
1:05:38.708,1:05:41.375
Right middle pocket.
1:05:41.542,1:05:44.250
- Oh, pish.[br]- Two shots to me.
1:06:01.333,1:06:02.750
Ondine!
1:06:07.125,1:06:08.792
Ondine!
1:06:15.833,1:06:17.708
Ondine!
1:06:29.833,1:06:31.667
Don't I get seven years?
1:06:35.042,1:06:38.958
- Remember the bit about selkie men?[br]- The husband?
1:06:40.375,1:06:41.667
Well, he's here.
1:06:41.875,1:06:45.750
- And he's taking her back?[br]- Yes.
1:06:53.250,1:06:55.458
So I'll see you at home then, huh?
1:06:56.542,1:06:57.750
Hey.
1:06:58.583,1:07:01.875
A guy was breathalysed[br]in one of those in Glasgow.
1:07:02.083,1:07:06.375
No, seriously.[br]No, he was six times over the limit.
1:07:06.583,1:07:08.917
What if I take the footpath?
1:07:09.125,1:07:13.250
Look, you're still in charge[br]of your flipping vehicle, right?
1:07:13.458,1:07:15.083
I'll go slowly.
1:07:28.458,1:07:31.958
- Tell him to piss off.[br]- I wish I could.
1:07:32.167,1:07:35.250
- Wish, then.[br]- I can't.
1:07:35.458,1:07:39.292
- You can grant a wish.[br]- You sure?
1:07:39.500,1:07:44.583
- Annie says so.[br]- OK.
1:07:44.792,1:07:46.875
I wish she wasn't sick.
1:07:50.542,1:07:52.500
So do I.
1:07:54.292,1:07:55.917
And I wish you'd stay.
1:07:57.417,1:08:03.208
- That's two wishes.[br]- One for you. And one for me.
1:08:22.250,1:08:26.542
Have you got your lights on, hen?[br]The cops will get you if you don't.
1:08:47.457,1:08:48.582
Maybe it's all a lie.
1:08:49.292,1:08:53.250
Maybe you walked into the sea[br]to get away from a bad marriage.
1:08:54.667,1:08:58.667
- Would you believe that?[br]- I did it once.
1:09:00.542,1:09:06.207
- What happened?[br]- I got wet. Got sense. Got sober.
1:09:08.207,1:09:11.957
- That's not the story, though.[br]- Well, what is, then?
1:09:14.542,1:09:16.832
Like Annie says, I'm a selk.
1:09:19.292,1:09:20.417
Something's up.
1:09:23.375,1:09:24.667
A crash.
1:09:30.417,1:09:32.500
No. No...
1:09:33.375,1:09:38.207
No! Annie. Get out... out of me way!
1:09:39.625,1:09:44.667
- Annie. Annie. Annie![br]- Syracuse. Syracuse!
1:09:44.875,1:09:47.625
She's OK, she's OK.[br]She's in good hands.
1:09:49.207,1:09:51.250
Jesus Christ![br]Tell me what happened to her.
1:09:51.457,1:09:54.333
She's been a terrible accident,[br]but Annie is all right, you hear me?
1:09:54.542,1:09:55.792
Annie is fine.
1:10:13.875,1:10:18.667
- You wore your seat-belt, love.[br]- What happened?
1:10:18.875,1:10:20.542
I don't know yet.
1:10:24.500,1:10:28.458
- She's all right... Father?[br]- Please God, she will be.
1:10:28.667,1:10:31.667
We're going to move her to[br]another room. Want to follow me?
1:10:38.083,1:10:39.333
Is something wrong?
1:10:42.958,1:10:45.958
- What's happening?[br]- I don't know. I don't know.
1:10:54.542,1:10:56.458
- What's happening?[br]- The doctor will explain.
1:10:56.667,1:10:58.667
Syracuse, can we talk in private?
1:10:58.875,1:11:01.875
- What's going on?[br]- Alex had a donor card.
1:11:02.083,1:11:05.833
- What?[br]- We have a tissue match.
1:11:06.042,1:11:07.958
Strangest thing, but it's happened.
1:11:08.167,1:11:11.333
- Are you serious?[br]- Come on.
1:11:29.500,1:11:30.833
Retractor.
1:11:45.750,1:11:46.833
So why are you here?
1:11:49.042,1:11:53.042
- You speak their language now.[br]- It's softer than ours.
1:11:55.167,1:11:59.125
- I wish you were dead.[br]- None of us are that lucky.
1:11:59.583,1:12:04.750
So... the sea spat you out, did it?
1:12:04.917,1:12:06.417
It can swallow me again.
1:12:07.333,1:12:11.000
We don't belong here, do we?
1:12:11.167,1:12:15.542
- So? Go home.[br]- I can't.
1:12:15.750,1:12:19.500
- Police want to talk to me.[br]- About what?
1:12:19.708,1:12:23.208
She came from nowhere. Drunk.
1:12:23.708,1:12:26.500
- They should talk to her, not me.[br]- Tell them that.
1:12:26.708,1:12:29.917
I will. And then you'll tell me.
1:12:31.250,1:12:32.625
Nothing.
1:12:48.667,1:12:50.500
Hey.
1:12:52.292,1:12:53.917
Where's mam?
1:12:55.167,1:12:59.417
She's asleep. She can't see[br]you right now, but she will later.
1:12:59.625,1:13:03.708
- Where's Ondine?[br]- Ondine's close by.
1:13:03.917,1:13:09.500
You'll see her, too.[br]Just rest. Just rest.
1:13:29.083,1:13:32.375
He had a wife and[br]three children in Scotland.
1:13:32.542,1:13:34.417
Where are they now?
1:13:34.583,1:13:36.708
They said we were welcome to him.
1:13:38.083,1:13:39.750
I'm sorry it happened like this.
1:13:41.875,1:13:46.833
- Sure I can't take it in.[br]- I know. It's hard.
1:13:48.625,1:13:50.417
Why aren't you blaming me?
1:13:51.583,1:13:54.042
Because, for once,[br]you had nothing to do with it.
1:13:54.250,1:13:58.417
- Why do I feel as if I did?[br]- Because you're Circus.
1:13:58.583,1:14:00.708
You get everything wrong.
1:14:05.542,1:14:07.292
I met him on this ferry.
1:14:08.875,1:14:15.083
- Where was I?[br]- Where you always were. At sea.
1:14:18.250,1:14:21.958
Take Annie home, when she's stronger,[br]till I get out of this thing.
1:14:22.167,1:14:24.500
- I can't cope.[br]- OK.
1:14:24.708,1:14:28.083
- It's what you always wanted, isn't it?[br]- Yes.
1:14:28.250,1:14:31.000
So... you've got it.
1:14:32.008,1:14:34.092
But I don't want that woman there.
1:14:35.967,1:14:38.133
And take me to his wake now.
1:14:38.342,1:14:40.342
- I can't.[br]- Oh, I insist.
1:14:48.842,1:14:51.050
- Two whiskies and ice.[br]- One.
1:14:51.258,1:14:53.758
- Two.[br]- Maura, I don't...
1:14:53.967,1:14:55.717
Show some respect.[br]It's his funeral.
1:15:12.258,1:15:15.092
- Get rid of her, Circus.[br]- Who?
1:15:15.300,1:15:20.050
Your water baby.[br]She brings good luck, then bad.
1:15:45.633,1:15:46.758
Two more, Maggie.
1:16:04.342,1:16:05.758
You all right?
1:16:23.258,1:16:24.675
Finders keepers.
1:16:40.425,1:16:42.050
Why are you looking[br]at me like that?
1:16:42.258,1:16:47.592
Because you're a selkie...[br]and I'm an alcoholic.
1:16:47.758,1:16:52.967
- A peaceful night's sleep, had you?[br]- No.
1:16:54.092,1:17:00.175
- He's still out there somewhere.[br]- OK. I'm taking you home.
1:17:01.258,1:17:02.258
Hey!
1:17:11.342,1:17:13.842
That bit about the husband...
1:17:14.050,1:17:17.342
- He's not my husband.[br]- What is he, then?
1:17:20.383,1:17:25.633
- My pushta.[br]- What's that? Selkie for squeeze?
1:17:27.383,1:17:31.842
Look. You're home.[br]You'll be safe there.
1:17:32.050,1:17:36.008
- You can sing your song.[br]- Who will I sing it to?
1:17:36.217,1:17:40.383
To me. Go on, sing.[br]Make the seals dance.
1:17:40.592,1:17:41.675
- I can't.[br]- Why not?
1:17:41.883,1:17:44.300
- Because you're drunk.[br]- I'll be sober in the morning.
1:17:44.508,1:17:46.258
You can sing to me then.
1:17:46.425,1:17:50.675
I fished round here for years.[br]Never knew this selkie stuff.
1:17:50.883,1:17:53.425
Maybe you were dead.[br]And I fished you back to life!
1:17:53.633,1:17:55.092
Yes!
1:17:55.300,1:17:57.633
And now you're gonna haunt me?
1:17:57.800,1:17:59.800
Forever! Come here.
1:18:00.675,1:18:04.925
What does "haunt" mean?[br]What does "haunt" mean?
1:18:18.175,1:18:19.800
You want some?
1:18:24.592,1:18:27.008
Selkies don't drink?
1:18:34.592,1:18:39.842
So... you're safe here.[br]Is that right?
1:18:42.342,1:18:44.717
- How's Annie?[br]- She's fine.
1:18:53.925,1:18:55.592
She's safe, too.
1:18:58.508,1:19:00.258
I got another bottle on the boat.
1:19:01.925,1:19:03.383
Syracuse.
1:19:05.550,1:19:07.758
What does "haunt" mean?
1:19:07.967,1:19:12.217
It means what you're doing... to me.
1:19:25.717,1:19:26.925
You wouldn't.
1:19:30.508,1:19:34.425
Syracuse! Syracuse!
1:19:36.883,1:19:38.383
Don't!
1:19:40.592,1:19:43.883
- What are you doing?[br]- I know it's not how fairy tales end.
1:19:44.050,1:19:46.967
But this one does.[br]This one does because it has to.
1:19:47.175,1:19:49.675
What do you mean?[br]What do you mean?!
1:19:49.883,1:19:55.550
I mean your kind and my kind.[br]We don't belong together.
1:19:55.758,1:19:58.175
- I have to say goodbye...[br]- Go away.
1:20:01.133,1:20:02.883
...to Annie.
1:21:44.217,1:21:45.550
Syracuse.
1:22:02.008,1:22:06.633
- Hey, buddy.[br]- Oh, I'm your buddy, am I?
1:22:06.800,1:22:10.508
Yeah. You are.
1:22:10.717,1:22:14.008
You're my sobriety buddy.
1:22:14.175,1:22:17.633
Where were you last night?[br]I needed you.
1:22:17.842,1:22:21.758
- You fell off the wagon.[br]- Big time.
1:22:23.383,1:22:25.592
Circus of fools.
1:22:25.800,1:22:29.300
I was twirling around that big top.
1:22:32.008,1:22:34.550
I'm back in the sawdust now.
1:22:35.967,1:22:38.092
And it tastes like shite.
1:22:44.258,1:22:46.633
Do you know[br]what my problem is, buddy?
1:22:46.842,1:22:49.717
You can't take good luck.
1:22:53.008,1:22:55.050
Ten out of ten, Sherlock.
1:22:56.717,1:23:02.092
Misery is easy, Syracuse.[br]Happiness you have to work at.
1:23:03.217,1:23:05.300
Why didn't the tree say that?
1:23:05.508,1:23:08.758
Sure, the tree's[br]not gonna tell you anything.
1:23:13.633,1:23:17.717
- What about the girl?[br]- She's gone.
1:23:17.925,1:23:21.008
- And Annie?[br]- She's getting out today.
1:23:21.217,1:23:24.300
I'm taking her home with me.
1:23:24.508,1:23:28.592
After that, there's no excuses,[br]is there, buddy?
1:23:30.300,1:23:31.800
No.
1:23:33.425,1:23:36.217
- Why are you crying?[br]- I'm not.
1:23:36.383,1:23:38.342
Yes, you are. I can tell.
1:23:38.508,1:23:40.758
Maybe because you're[br]back on the road again.
1:23:40.967,1:23:44.633
- You're home.[br]- Where's Ondine?
1:23:44.800,1:23:47.508
Ondine had to go away for a while.
1:23:47.675,1:23:51.092
- That's why you're crying.[br]- It's not, I swear.
1:23:51.300,1:23:54.675
- Did her husband come?[br]- He must have.
1:23:54.883,1:23:58.425
Because she's gone.[br]On sea business.
1:23:59.175,1:24:01.425
- But she'll be back, you know.[br]- Do you think?
1:24:01.633,1:24:02.842
I know.
1:24:03.050,1:24:05.800
- She left something here.[br]- What?
1:24:08.425,1:24:11.550
The eldest of two children,[br]a younger brother, Robert...
1:24:15.383,1:24:18.342
- What time is it?[br]- Half-one.
1:24:19.508,1:24:23.217
- Why didn't you wake me?[br]- Because you were sleeping like a baby.
1:24:24.133,1:24:27.883
- I thought you were the baby.[br]- Doesn't look like it.
1:24:30.800,1:24:34.008
- Do you want breakfast?[br]- Lunch.
1:24:37.717,1:24:39.217
There you are, baby.
1:25:06.600,1:25:09.000
- Annie, that song.[br]- What song?
1:25:09.108,1:25:10.567
Just a minute ago.
1:25:19.050,1:25:21.133
- It's real.[br]- Course it's real.
1:25:21.342,1:25:22.800
It's Sigur Ros.
1:25:38.225,1:25:40.217
Annie, I have to go out for a bit.
1:25:41.083,1:25:43.008
- I'll take you to your mam's.[br]- No.
1:25:43.117,1:25:45.533
- I can't leave you on your own.[br]- Yes, you can.
1:25:46.002,1:25:48.558
- Don't you get it? I'm better.[br]- Are you sure?
1:25:49.683,1:25:52.592
You got some unfinished sea business?
1:25:53.800,1:25:56.967
- I suppose.[br]- Go on, then.
1:25:57.175,1:25:59.183
I'm kind of busy here anyway.
1:26:26.017,1:26:27.167
Hey!
1:26:47.542,1:26:49.008
Hey!
1:27:20.300,1:27:22.050
There were seals down there.
1:27:22.258,1:27:26.002
Basking on the rock. My kind, huh?
1:27:26.300,1:27:31.050
- I didn't say that.[br]- No, but you thought it.
1:27:33.758,1:27:36.883
Then the storm came up.
1:27:37.092,1:27:40.133
They slipped into the water, one by one.
1:27:40.342,1:27:42.883
I was going to join them.
1:27:47.175,1:27:49.467
What changed your mind?
1:27:50.925,1:27:52.633
What changed yours?
1:27:57.050,1:28:03.175
She was switching channels on the TV,[br]and your song came on.
1:28:03.383,1:28:05.717
Was never my song.
1:28:08.717,1:28:11.008
- So tell me.[br]- No.
1:28:11.217,1:28:14.342
- No. Take me home.[br]- Where is home?
1:28:14.550,1:28:17.383
Where do you think?
1:28:18.467,1:28:22.800
- You'll tell me the truth now.[br]- The truth?
1:28:24.758,1:28:28.583
The truth is I'm a creature[br]from the sea that found her seal coat
1:28:28.650,1:28:31.250
and buried it because[br]she found a family she liked.
1:28:31.358,1:28:35.383
- Please.[br]- That's...
1:28:37.092,1:28:42.175
That's one truth.[br]You don't want to know the other.
1:28:43.592,1:28:44.883
Try me.
1:28:47.592,1:28:49.217
OK.
1:28:52.425,1:28:56.842
I am a prisoner and[br]a drug mule from Romania.
1:28:57.050,1:28:59.092
I said the real truth.
1:29:03.258,1:29:05.258
This is the real truth.
1:29:06.717,1:29:10.717
I was on a boat with[br]a kilo of heroin in a backpack.
1:29:10.925,1:29:13.050
Coast Guard came,[br]Vladic made me swim for it.
1:29:13.258,1:29:17.675
- Vladic?[br]- My selkie husband.
1:29:18.425,1:29:21.008
My pushta.
1:29:42.675,1:29:45.217
He was like a monster, from a fairytale.
1:29:45.425,1:29:51.467
But he couldn't swim,[br]so he made me take to the water.
1:29:52.967,1:29:58.550
I was always a good swimmer,[br]but your Irish waves wore me down.
1:30:00.800,1:30:03.425
I swam till I could swim no more.
1:30:05.050,1:30:06.508
Then I floated.
1:30:08.508,1:30:09.883
Then I sank.
1:30:13.467,1:30:15.717
It was almost a relief.
1:30:18.842,1:30:24.800
I said, "Here goes... I die".
1:30:35.133,1:30:36.383
And that's the truth.
1:30:40.925,1:30:43.092
You brought me back to life.
1:30:45.175,1:30:48.175
I found a caravan, a family.
1:30:50.550,1:30:52.050
Now it's gone, OK?
1:30:54.467,1:30:55.842
Caravan's going nowhere.
1:31:04.967,1:31:07.050
What's your real name?
1:31:12.133,1:31:16.592
- It's Joanna.[br]- Joanna.
1:31:25.883,1:31:29.050
Just tell her you were away[br]on sea business.
1:31:29.258,1:31:31.133
Sea business?
1:31:36.342,1:31:38.342
- Annie?[br]- I told them nothing.
1:31:38.550,1:31:41.092
- Told who?[br]- Not true, little girl.
1:31:41.300,1:31:45.592
You told us about[br]seven tears and the selkie island.
1:31:45.800,1:31:47.842
And how Ondine came out of the water.
1:31:48.050,1:31:50.092
But nothing important, I swear.
1:31:52.002,1:31:56.358
Seven tears are important, surely?[br]And the selkie island.
1:31:56.808,1:31:59.592
Still some details[br]I'd like to get more clear.
1:32:00.000,1:32:01.517
Do you want to eat some?
1:32:01.625,1:32:03.317
- Da![br]- Are you OK?
1:32:09.467,1:32:12.083
- Who the heck are you?[br]- Circus the clown.
1:32:12.092,1:32:15.342
We've got seals, selkies, clowns...[br]Someone start making sense!
1:32:21.883,1:32:25.042
- Is she the swimmer?[br]- Yes, I swim like a fish.
1:32:25.050,1:32:28.050
- Is she the one that lost it?[br]- I'll get it back. Put that thing down.
1:32:28.258,1:32:30.042
- Where is it?[br]- Where is what?
1:32:30.050,1:32:32.033
- He wants her seal coat.[br]- What's she on about?
1:32:32.042,1:32:34.058
- Yes, I want her seal coat.[br]- Don't give it to them.
1:32:34.067,1:32:36.475
- We have to.[br]- Means you'll go.
1:32:36.525,1:32:38.075
- We don't know that.[br]- I know it!
1:32:38.083,1:32:39.125
- Tell her![br]- Tell her what?
1:32:39.233,1:32:41.092
That you don't care about me.
1:32:41.633,1:32:44.600
- I don't care about her![br]- All you want is the coat.
1:32:45.717,1:32:48.250
- What's he saying?[br]- It's not important. Listen to me!
1:32:49.008,1:32:52.005
Let them go. Put that thing away![br]I'll show you where.
1:32:52.033,1:32:53.383
- Where?[br]- I'll show you where.
1:32:53.592,1:32:57.025
- It's OK...[br]- Give her to me. Come here.
1:33:00.008,1:33:02.058
Here, Annie.[br]Come here, come here.
1:33:14.300,1:33:16.017
What? What?
1:33:16.125,1:33:20.008
Here, it was here, I swear. I swear.
1:33:21.217,1:33:22.967
Stop it! Stop it.
1:33:24.008,1:33:26.967
- Listen to me. Listen to me...[br]- Look at me, little girl.
1:33:27.175,1:33:31.758
- Don't make me bite.[br]- Did you move it, Annie?
1:33:32.967,1:33:35.133
...he digs it up and then she doesn't[br]stay for seven years...
1:33:35.342,1:33:38.083
Tell them where you moved it[br]before they hurt somebody, OK?
1:33:38.092,1:33:39.758
I don't want you to go.
1:33:40.392,1:33:43.075
If you tell me where you moved it,[br]I promise I stay.
1:33:43.183,1:33:45.258
- How long?[br]- As long as you want.
1:33:45.367,1:33:48.217
I'll find a job on a fishing boat,[br]anything. Just tell me.
1:33:48.842,1:33:52.050
- Cross your heart?[br]- Cross my heart and hope to die.
1:33:53.500,1:33:56.005
- The lobster pot.[br]- The lobster pot?
1:33:56.083,1:33:59.125
- What lobster pot?[br]- The one for storage.
1:33:59.233,1:34:01.003
- OK, show us.[br]- Out there.
1:34:01.092,1:34:02.175
Show us, baby.
1:34:08.517,1:34:10.008
Give it here...
1:34:21.300,1:34:22.425
It's full of water.
1:34:23.525,1:34:26.550
- He's not a selkie, is he?[br]- No, he isn't.
1:34:26.658,1:34:31.100
- You still are.[br]- It was vacuum packed.
1:34:32.925,1:34:33.967
Always.
1:34:46.758,1:34:51.008
Help! I can't swim. Help!
1:34:52.133,1:34:53.425
Keep that gun on him.
1:35:13.108,1:35:17.508
- So he couldn't breathe underwater?[br]- No, he couldn't.
1:35:18.017,1:35:22.883
- Does that mean he drowned?[br]- Don't you worry about it, love.
1:35:32.125,1:35:35.008
- That's it, lads. Over this way now.[br]- All right.
1:35:38.342,1:35:39.758
All right, let's go.
1:35:48.925,1:35:52.550
- Is this not an AA meeting?[br]- I don't know.
1:35:53.758,1:35:58.633
Thing is, Father, she's[br]in front of the judge next week.
1:35:58.842,1:36:03.008
- And?[br]- And she's a non-national.
1:36:03.217,1:36:04.967
And?
1:36:05.175,1:36:08.550
And this is the confessional,[br]Father, we're not talking gossip here.
1:36:08.758,1:36:09.925
I'm still an oak.
1:36:10.133,1:36:12.175
I thought you were a[br]what-do-you-call-it...
1:36:12.383,1:36:14.175
- An ash.[br]- An ash.
1:36:14.383,1:36:18.467
Well, her solicitor said[br]she'll get deported
1:36:18.675,1:36:20.717
if she doesn't become a national.
1:36:20.925,1:36:24.592
So she has to apply[br]to the Department of Justice.
1:36:25.300,1:36:29.633
Or... she gets... married.
1:36:33.675,1:36:38.092
So, who's going to marry her, Syracuse?
1:36:38.300,1:36:42.467
Well... it's not like[br]there's a queue, Father.
1:36:42.675,1:36:45.342
- Well, I can't marry her.[br]- No. You're a tree.
1:36:45.508,1:36:47.133
Exactly.
1:37:12.758,1:37:14.925
And I threw the[br]selkie coat in the water.
1:37:15.133,1:37:19.300
I told a lie about that, too.[br]Wasn't a real lie, was it?
1:37:19.508,1:37:21.508
Because I wanted her to stay forever.
1:37:21.717,1:37:23.217
She's staying forever?
1:37:23.425,1:37:25.092
Yeah. Haven't you heard?
1:37:25.300,1:37:28.467
They're getting married[br]next week to make her a national.
1:37:28.675,1:37:32.842
So I suppose she isn't a selkie, really.
1:37:33.050,1:37:35.175
Because you can't marry a seal,[br]can you?
1:37:35.383,1:37:38.425
No. You definitely cannot.
1:37:38.633,1:37:41.175
Not in the real quotidian world anyway.
1:37:41.383,1:37:43.758
- Quotidian?[br]- Yeah.
1:37:43.967,1:37:46.425
Means the one we have to live in.
1:37:47.842,1:37:50.425
If she was a seal, though,[br]would you still do the wedding?
1:37:50.633,1:37:51.717
Me?
1:37:53.675,1:37:56.467
What about your past lives?
1:37:56.675,1:38:00.300
- Are you sure I have them?[br]- Yeah, everybody does.
1:38:00.508,1:38:02.675
It's just a matter of remembering.
1:38:02.883,1:38:06.092
- Stop peeping, would you?[br]- I don't peep.
1:38:06.300,1:38:09.592
I mean, you could have even[br]been married in one of them...
