You heard me.
We haven't lost a ram in I don't know how long.

How's that goin' to work?
[Distant rattle, metal bangs]
Here he comes.
[Jack] Hey.

They were up on top, I just brought 'em down.
On your own?
Yeah, on my own.
- That's hard work. - Yeah,
well, for an old fella it's hard work. [Chuckles]
[Woman] Hey.
Can I see them?
- No, you can't. - Why?
Because I put them in the slurry.
[Woman] Why would you put them in the pit?
For diseases and that.
Where's your pit?
[Woman] No, no one's going near the pit.
Did they have any symptoms?
Yeah, swollen bellies and stuff.
[Woman] I'll have a word with Gary when he comes back.
[Jack] He didn't, he didn't see them.
[Woman] Your dad didn't look?
[Jack] Sure, you know what they say
where there's livestock, there's dead stock.
[Woman] Watch your mouth young man.
Just sayin'.
[Woman] Michael.
Mikey, I'm sorry. I am.

[He grunts]
[In Irish] You need help?
Get out!
[Ray, in Irish] Your Caroline and that ******* Gary.
I thought she'd leave you for someone better than that.
At least he'll never look at that mess of a face
without thinking of you.

Jesus, O'Shea's buying rams?
We lost two, so we did.
Well that's a fair few bob.
- Tell him about the rustlers. - Hm.
******* some ****'s going round, cutting the legs off.
Doesn't even kill them.
D'you ever hear the like of it?
I reckon it's ******* Eastern Europeans or Poles or one of them showers,
you know, selling them on the cheap, like.
Filthy ********.
What about yours?
Keeley's lad said he found him dead on his hill
and he ****** them into the pit before I could have a look at them.
That ******* shower.
Anything worth looking at?
O'Shea grade? Ha, no.
[In Irish] How's himself?
[In Irish] Ah, you know.
[In English] Tell the miserable old bollocks '**** off' from me, yeah?
I'll have a look anyway.

Hey, Gary.
Hey Dad, Dad...

[Michael] What's this?
It's a sheep, boy.
[Michael] No, what's that?
These are the two animals you told me were dead.
- I didn't tell you nothing, boy. - You told my father though.
Well?
These have just come down off my heft.
- Well you know what that is, don't you? - James, do these look like my animals?
They're the only two I'd buy.
[Gary] What is this?
Out.
No, no one's buying from you today, boy.
Right.
Put them back in the truck.
[Gary] All of them.
[Tense percussion]

[Michael] They're okay.
- Jack, you're alright? - Yeah I'm fine.
He's okay. Gary was out for a bit.
What happened?
I'm not the one you should be asking.
I'll look at you inside.
[Metal rattles]
I'll kill them before I let you take them.
I'm taking my ******* animals Gary.
What you gonna do?
Kill me like you killed your mammy?
You don't think she'd tell her own husband why she has a ****** up face?
I've always wondered what Ray thought about your mammy leaving.
Oh that's right. He doesn't know, does he?
[Caroline] Gary.
Thanks for the lift.
Now **** off.
Gary!
[Metal rattles, thuds]
[Michael, in Irish] Nothing worth the money.
[Water runs]
[Ray, in Irish] One ram can't service that size of a flock.
[Michael sighs]
He could if I bring them down.
What?
If we use that money to buy feed...
they'll have an easier winter and we might get some twins.
We haven't brought animals down in five hundred years.
We'd have years of work to pull the animals back--
Do you hear me?
Five hundred years.
I'm bringing them down.

Aye, that's right.
Now, is that what they call 'diversifying'?
[Gary] it'll just be 'til...

[Boy] We're rich now, Jackie boy.
Retired in Dublin, now, huh?
[Lighter clicks]
Proud of you, Jackie boy.
Proud of you, proud of you, you became a man tonight.
What?
[Vehicle approaches]
Now.
[Engine halts]
- Here. - Good man.
[Paper rustles]
Oi, where are you off to?
Home.
What? Give you a lift for nothing, no?
No.
I don't ever want to see you again.
What? Jack...
Hey.
- [Explosion] - [Disturbing music]
[Music fades]
[Water runs]
[Gary]... May as well enjoy what's left?
I bought you gin and tonic, but,
I spilt it in the car. [He giggles]
[Caroline] You gonna tell me what happened today?
[Gary] Today?
- [Caroline] The crash? - [Gary] Oh, right yeah, yeah.
[Gary] Aye, Jack stole two of the O'Shea's tups and tried to pass them off as ours.
Your precious boy.
He's ******* done for us.
[Caroline] This is on you.
[Gary] Oh, right, yeah, 'cause it would never be your fault, would it?
******* *****.

[Door creaks]
[Jack sniffles]
[Sighs]
[Door clicks]
- You're up early. - Uh huh.
Always obsessed with fire.
- Your first word was hot. - Yeah.
Well your first word was Dada, but your first real word was hot.
I saw the rams in the shed.
[Jack clicks tongue, exhales]
Why?
Do you hate him?
You gonna go and live with the O'Sheas?
What?
With Michael?
Christ, no!
[Jack grunts softly]
I got a job.
In Cork.
It's okay. You can come with me if you like.
Or stay.
You can do whatever you want.
[Both sniffle]
I don't want to leave you.
Or here.
I just can't breathe.
[Jack sniffles, exhales]
Don't push Michael too hard.
- [Thud] - [Gary] Now, get up!
I need help loading the truck.
I've just been up the builder's. Someone's stolen their van.
Come on.
[Jack sighs]
Right, we need to heft this **** up there.
[Sheep bleats]
[Gary sighs]
I told you to kill them!
You're as useless as her!
[Gary grunts]
****!
****.
[Jack] Hands off.
Get your hands off...
Get your hands off me!
I said get your hands off me.
[Gary] Alright.
Alright.
[Jack moans deeply]
[Gary whispers] Alright.
Alright.
[Gary smacks kiss]
Alright.
Let's take them back, Dad.
Right, I'll get this **** up there and then...
I'll take them back.
[Truck door clicks, shuts]
[Engine starts]
[Tense, rhythmic percussion]
[Michael grunts]
Jesus Christ Michael,
it's a gunshot wound.
What the ****?
[Caroline] No. No sleeping.
[Caroline] I'll get you a towel.
Have a look at you.
Let's see. [To Jack] Here.
[Caroline] Get the pressure on.
Right.
I have to get some antiseptic.
What have I told you about leaving that around?
[Washer whirring]
[Jack inhales deeply]
[Clattering]
[Plastic rustles]
[Caroline] This will sting a bit.
Here you go, okay?
God...
[He grunts]
You want to tell me?
Rustlers attacked my flock.
[Caroline] Up on the mountain?
[Michael] Brought them down after we lost the rams.
Came out to the field and a couple of them were...
attacking the animals.
[Caroline] Attacking?
[Michael] Was cutting their hind legs off.
[Caroline] What?
[Michael] Was cutting their hind legs off, letting 'em bleed out.
[Caroline] Jesus Christ.
[Caroline whispers] Mikey.
Bring Michael's bag.
[Birds squawk, distant]
[Engine starts; Doors shut]
[Caroline] Jesus Christ, Michael.
******* monsters.
[Soft grunt]
[Michael, in Irish] Dad!

Come on.
[Ray moans, mumbles]
Okay.
Is he bleeding?
Ray?
Raymond?
- Ray? - Hm?
- Raymond? - Hm?
[In Irish] Are you alright?
Peg...
It's Caroline, Raymond.
Oh,
[In Irish] I thought 'twas dead, I was. [Chuckles]
You'd hope for better than us.
[Caroline] You should go to the hospital.
The pair of you.
[He grunts] No hospital.
[Caroline] Doctor at least.
[In English] No signal. Phone?
[Michael] it's ******.
All right. I'm gonna go back to the house, call Dr Donough.
You stay here and take care of these two.
[Jack whispers] I don't want to.
You've had a part to play in this.
I want to come with you please.
- Tea, lots of sugar. - No, no, no, no...
I'm going to be back in a minute.
It's alright.
[Door shuts]
[Ray, in Irish] Stop staring at me.
[Car door shuts, engine starts]
How the **** did we get here?
If she was...
here.
[Michael] Mam.
- Huh? - Mam, she...
Mam was what?
She was what?
[In English] Nothing.
[Michael and Ray sigh]
[In English] Hey, what's in the bag?
Hey?
I don't know.
It's for him.
[Jack] Yeah?
[Michael] Give it to him.
- Give him the bag. - [Tense percussion]
The bag, there.
[Ray gasps] Jesus!

[Jack] What the ****?
- [Ray, in Irish] Why... - [Jack] ****.
How... the **** is that?

Here, do it.
- Do it then. - What you doin'?
You've already ******* killed me.
Just finish the job!
[Jack cries]
- Stop it. - Why?
- [Jack sobs] Come on. Come on... - Why'd you do it? Why did you do it?
You should have let us through the ******* gate.
[Jack cries] What do you want?
[Both thud, gasp]
[Jack moans]
[Michael] Oh ****!

- [Jack] I'm okay. - Easy.
Leave it. Leave it. Look at me, yeah?
- Put your arm around me. - [Jack] I don't want to die.
You're not gonna die.
Put your arm around my shoulder.
- [Jack sobs] - Come on.
Come on, lad.
You'll be alright.
[Jack gasping softly]
[Soft, dramatic music]

♪ I have lain and passed my golden days
♪ Among the trees
♪ I have spent all my summers in a haze
♪ Of lazy afternoons, watching all the rain
♪ As it patterns the verandah, then disappears again
♪ Come the sun...
♪ How I wish I could return to those summers once again
♪ How I wish I could just sit in the presence of a friend
♪ Making music or just listening to the birds so far from sight
♪ Watching as the dark shades of evening turn to night
♪ Gone the sun...
