Dangerous Lady

A priest... Get me a priest.

Please ! Get me... a priest !

You get the midwife !

Oi !

Joe ! Joe !

Oi ! Steady, steady.

Michael, you naughty boy (!)

Give the naughty boy a couple of quid, Tony.

Well...!

What am I gonna do with you, eh ?

Come on now, Sarah.

One last push. Come on.

BABY CRIES

Careful, Michael. Hold her carefully.

Hold her head. That's right.

You've got a sister at last.

My little Maura.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

It's two weeks since my last confession.

I would've come last Sunday, only I was visiting my Anthony...

..on remand for robbery.

He went into it -

This isn't the garden fence, Sarah.

Sorry, Father.

If you could only talk to Michael, keep him on the straight and narrow.

They're all working with him now.

If you could carry him, the rest would follow.

'They're not bad boys, Father.'

Tommy Blue's been clever again.

How much does he owe ?

Three weeks.

Christ ! Smash his place up.

Done it.

He's taking liberties.

We'll have to pay him a visit, boys.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

I missed last month.

Oh, you have been bad, Michael.

But the good Catholic soldiers of Ireland forgive you.

When are you likely to sin again ?

Mickey !

She's up the spout.

Which one ?

Janine Grierson.

The butcher's daughter ?

Well, least we'll never be short of a bit of meat.

Oh, look - Doris Day !

Princess !

Let's have a look.

That's beautiful.

Garry will pick you up at 10.30.

Maggie's boyfriend Dennis has a car.

Maura, don't be difficult !

I'll be home by eleven !

What can happen to her ?

She's a Ryan.

It's a palais in Ilford. No-one's heard of the famous Ryans there.

They will, Princess. They will.

Please ?

All right.

But get back by eleven - sharp.

And don't open your mouth, Geoff.

Come on, all of you !

Benny ?

Come on, now. Sit down.

Stop your titivatin'.

Sorry, Mum.

Er... We're eatin' out tonight. It's business.

I'm sorry.

Call your brother. He only listens to you.

Benny !

What's he playin' with ?

An old shotgun cartridge.

Does nobody say grace any more ?

He's got a brick in his hand.

GUNSHOT

Holy Mother of God !

You know he's soft in the head !

Benny ! Are you all right ?

Look at you !

Geoff, we're goin' out.

I'll read the paper the day I'm in one.

And how far off is that (?)

CAR DRIVES OFF

HOOTING

Bye !

Maura !

Stay with me tonight.

But Maggie and Dennis are outside.

Michael said I could go.

And is he God ?

Puts the food on the table.

He took you from me when you were born.

I thought I could save you.

What from ?

Save me from what ?

You're old enough. You know what he is.

He loves you.

He lies to me.

Where'd you get make-up ?

I went shopping with Michael.

Oh, Mum, he only wants the best for this family.

And everybody loves him.

I've never known a baby walk and talk so early as Michael.

He had to. I didn't have enough arms for you all.

I prayed for you to come...

..and God answered me.

Don't end up like me.

Oh, Mum...

I want you to get what you want. I want you to be able to choose.

And I just want to go out, Mum.

Ah, go on with you. Margaret can't sit still.

Bye !

My mother used to say...

.."Show me the company you keep and I'll tell you what you are."

Never a truer word !

Filthy little... bitch !

My brother Roy has been shunting your lovely daughter here.

You mind your mouth !

Mr Grierson, in three weeks Roy will marry Janine...

..and give the baby a name.

The Ryan name.

Over my dead body.

Let's hope that's not necessary.

Look, Mr Grierson.

James.

May I call you James ?

They're in love.

And Roy's doing the honourable thing.

It's not as if he had it on his toes, is it ?

D'you know what they say about your family ?

D'you know what they say about you ?

Yeah.

That I'm a violent, perverted...

..bender.

But nobody says it to my face, Mr Grierson.

Nobody.

Hello, Tommy.

Relax. Just want a chat with you.

You are three weeks late - again.

And you made me come after you.

I tried to find you, Mickey.

Did you ?

Yeah, honest.

So you tried to find us.

Don't you lie to me !

Now I'm gonna ask you a question.

Have you got the money ?

Yeah, I've got it.

Good.

Don't worry.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

They are.

Joe ?!

Michael !

Tommy Blue's been taken care of.

It's peanuts, but word gets around.

Yeah. Sit down, sit down.

What's that ?

Joe, it's beautiful.

Yeah.

What's it for ?

I feel happy.

Here. Look at this.

South of Spain, half an hour from the Med.

Vineyard, a thousand acres.

Beautiful house !

Yeah.

I bought it for you.

I want us to go and live there.

I can't do that.

Daft ha'p'orth. Don't start all that again.

There's nothing I think is too good for you.

Be like the old days, eh ?

You should be somewhere beautiful.

I wanna see the sun on your back,...

..little Michael.

Yeah.

I can see the attraction.

Maybe I could come out a few times a year, when business here's quiet.

There'll be no business here !

We don't need it, with the amount they've offered. It's silly money.

The Greeks ?

That's right. Everything.

We don't need to work no more.

That's why you told me to lay off them ?

Yeah. Just for a while.

Hiya, boys. Help yourselves.

Give us a minute, will you ?

They've come for their wages.

They'll be all right.

Yeah.

Course they will.

I dunno what I'd do without you, Joe

I dunno what I'd do without you.

You'd wash less.

He's just a blind date, Maurs. You don't have to marry him.

You should've told me.

You wouldn't have come.

What if he's a creep with hands everywhere ?
