00:03:01 |
Jesus. |
00:03:07 |
Anybody out there? |
00:03:12 |
You're alive. |
00:03:41 |
OK. |
00:03:44 |
OK. All right! |
00:03:47 |
You're all right. |
00:03:51 |
OK, now. |
00:03:55 |
You're going to live. |
00:03:57 |
Come on. Hold on to me. |
00:04:02 |
OK... |
00:04:13 |
OK. |
00:04:14 |
What do you mean I'm... I'm alive? |
00:04:20 |
You're on a boat. My boat. |
00:04:26 |
- Why am I on your boat? |
00:04:30 |
All right? |
00:04:37 |
I was dead. I was sure of that. |
00:04:41 |
No. But you're not. |
00:04:44 |
- Why? Why am I alive? |
00:04:52 |
- Net? |
00:04:56 |
You swallowed water. |
00:05:02 |
- Come on. Are you cold? |
00:05:04 |
Come on. Hold on to me. |
00:05:10 |
OK. |
00:05:13 |
Watch your step. |
00:05:21 |
- Keep warm. You need a hospital. |
00:05:24 |
- Why not? |
00:05:28 |
You'll need to see a doctor. |
00:05:30 |
- After a thing like that! |
00:05:33 |
- I don't want to see anyone. |
00:05:38 |
- I don't mind seeing you. |
00:05:43 |
That's nice. |
00:05:45 |
- Say again? |
00:05:48 |
- Well, I don't. |
00:05:51 |
Because... you fished me from the water. |
00:05:55 |
How are ya? |
00:05:58 |
Jesus. You really |
00:06:06 |
What's your name? |
00:06:09 |
- I don't know. |
00:06:13 |
- Maybe. |
00:06:16 |
- Does it? |
00:06:19 |
Forget the lot. |
00:06:27 |
What's your name? |
00:06:31 |
My name's Syracuse, |
00:06:36 |
Why? |
00:06:37 |
To let on, you know, that I'm a clown. |
00:06:41 |
- A clown... in a circus? |
00:06:48 |
- I think I'll call you... Syra... |
00:06:52 |
OK, then. I'm taking you to a hospital. |
00:06:56 |
No! |
00:06:58 |
- Are you one of those asylum seekers? |
00:07:00 |
You swam here from Arabia? |
00:07:03 |
Let me go, then. |
00:07:06 |
Do you really want to drown? |
00:07:09 |
- I can't die twice. |
00:07:13 |
Please. I don't need a hospital. |
00:07:23 |
I know a place. |
00:07:29 |
Come on. |
00:07:42 |
- Whose is this place? |
00:07:46 |
- She lived here? |
00:07:49 |
- She was a kind of... loner. |
00:07:53 |
Bit like you. |
00:07:57 |
Why? |
00:07:59 |
She was a kind of gypsy. |
00:08:03 |
- Where is she now? |
00:08:10 |
- You mean she's dead? |
00:08:14 |
- Like me. |
00:08:18 |
No. But maybe I should have been. |
00:08:24 |
Here's some sandwiches. |
00:08:26 |
With all the strange fishing today, |
00:08:31 |
Thank you. |
00:08:38 |
Right, can I leave you now? |
00:08:41 |
- If you have to. |
00:08:46 |
OK. |
00:09:04 |
OK? |
00:09:20 |
- She's been waiting. |
00:09:23 |
- Appointment's for six. She gets upset. |
00:09:25 |
How's my baby? Right. |
00:09:29 |
- Bye, Mam. |
00:09:32 |
Yeah. It's genetic. |
00:09:42 |
Right, up you get. |
00:09:47 |
- Anything strange or wonderful? |
00:09:51 |
I don't know, Annie. |
00:09:54 |
- A wish? |
00:09:59 |
...or wonderful might happen. |
00:10:02 |
No, Da, nothing strange or wonderful. |
00:10:06 |
That's good, then. |
00:10:09 |
- Hello. |
00:10:12 |
- Is Dr Hannon around? |
00:10:15 |
- I thought he was gonna be here. |
00:10:22 |
- How long this time? |
00:10:25 |
An hour and a half or so. |
00:10:29 |
No book. Maybe I'll tell her a story. |
00:10:32 |
- I'll be inside if you want me. |
00:10:41 |
Well... go on. |
00:10:45 |
- Go on what? |
00:10:49 |
OK. |
00:10:54 |
Once upon a time... |
00:10:56 |
Does it always have |
00:10:59 |
Well, it's how stories begin. |
00:11:04 |
- And a very good time it was. |
00:11:14 |
And it was a bad time. |
00:11:20 |
- How are you feeling, love? |
00:11:30 |
Once upon a time... |
00:11:37 |
And he was pulling in his nets... |
00:12:03 |
- And? |
00:12:06 |
- What was she? |
00:12:10 |
- Was she a mermaid? |
00:12:15 |
- Was she a selkie, then? |
00:12:18 |
A kind of seal woman. |
00:12:22 |
- Who told you that? |
00:12:26 |
She comes out of the sea. |
00:12:29 |
Lives on land until |
00:12:34 |
Well, she didn't have a seal coat. |
00:12:39 |
- She seemed to remember drowning. |
00:12:46 |
- And... that's it. |
00:12:52 |
Yeah, maybe. |
00:12:58 |
Remember that thing |
00:13:01 |
- What thing? |
00:13:08 |
Now... |
00:13:12 |
You should rest as much |
00:13:16 |
- All right? |
00:13:26 |
- You've got juice now, Annie. |
00:13:33 |
Look at this, Alex. |
00:13:37 |
Wow. |
00:13:39 |
- Doesn't do bumps. |
00:13:43 |
- No. The CRC. |
00:13:46 |
- How's the fishing, Circus? |
00:13:50 |
- Syracuse, how's the fishing? |
00:13:53 |
- When? |
00:13:55 |
- So, did you see the doctor? |
00:13:57 |
- Because you were late, you fool. |
00:13:59 |
Yeah, you clown. He's been doing tests. |
00:14:03 |
- Something about... what's the word? |
00:14:06 |
- You understand? |
00:14:08 |
Blood group, you flipping clown. |
00:14:11 |
Goodbye. |
00:14:40 |
Still here? |
00:14:43 |
- You thought I'd be gone? |
00:14:48 |
You dreamt you fished me |
00:14:50 |
Something like that. |
00:14:57 |
- So you still dreaming now? |
00:15:00 |
- Sorry. Had to wash my dress. |
00:15:05 |
- No? |
00:15:10 |
- And kind of awkward. |
00:15:13 |
Yes, she was not like you. |
00:15:18 |
- I can be awkward. |
00:15:26 |
- You're going fishing? |
00:15:30 |
- Thought I might catch another. |
00:15:35 |
Yes. Maybe the sea is full of them. |
00:15:40 |
- Can I come with? |
00:15:42 |
- Why? |
00:15:46 |
- I can hide again. |
00:15:50 |
- A girl on a boat? |
00:15:54 |
Have you been having good luck lately? |
00:15:57 |
None. |
00:16:03 |
OK, then. Get in. |
00:16:14 |
What was that song you were singing? |
00:16:16 |
- Just a song. |
00:16:21 |
- I must have. |
00:16:26 |
- You can call me Ondine. |
00:16:31 |
- What's it mean? |
00:16:35 |
Ondine means |
00:16:39 |
No. Ondine was the girl |
00:16:44 |
- When? |
00:16:53 |
Do you want to help? |
00:16:57 |
Over there. |
00:16:59 |
- They're empty. |
00:17:01 |
- Did someone rob them? |
00:17:51 |
- My God. |
00:17:54 |
- You're playing games with me. |
00:18:02 |
What did you just do? |
00:18:05 |
- I... I sang. |
00:18:20 |
Sing again, would you? |
00:18:43 |
Jesus... you bring me luck. |
00:18:47 |
- Luck? |
00:18:50 |
- Everyone needs luck. |
00:18:55 |
- Maybe it's your turn. |
00:18:59 |
Right, come over here. |
00:19:04 |
Right, put one in-between your legs |
00:19:09 |
And then just do |
00:19:14 |
- What do you do with them? |
00:19:17 |
- Eat them. |
00:19:21 |
- You always catch this much? |
00:19:28 |
Right. There you go. |
00:19:32 |
Claws there. Grab that. |
00:19:39 |
It wasn't your song, you know. |
00:19:42 |
- No. |
00:19:51 |
- Watch yourself. |
00:20:13 |
Why you put them back? |
00:20:16 |
Save them for a rainy day. |
00:20:25 |
We'll get something for these. |
00:20:27 |
- We? |
00:20:31 |
You did sing. Just don't go |
00:20:35 |
Come on into the Co-op, |
00:20:39 |
I don't want to meet anyone. |
00:20:43 |
You've met me. |
00:20:46 |
You're the only one. |
00:20:50 |
OK. |
00:20:59 |
- How are you, Mary? |
00:21:02 |
- You've done well today, then? |
00:21:06 |
- And they say there's no lobster left. |
00:21:10 |
- Thank you very much. |
00:21:26 |
- Can I help you, Circus? |
00:21:29 |
- You want me to try it? |
00:22:01 |
It's a bit tight around here. |
00:22:04 |
- At least you're not invisible. |
00:22:06 |
Nothing. I'll take it. |
00:22:09 |
- For who? |
00:22:13 |
- This would never fit Annie. |
00:22:19 |
- What do you think, Circus? |
00:22:22 |
Sorry. Da. |
00:22:26 |
- Do they give you a hard time? |
00:22:28 |
How many of them have their own |
00:22:36 |
- What are we doing? |
00:22:39 |
- I'll race you. |
00:22:42 |
- Yeah? |
00:22:52 |
- So, what's the story? |
00:22:57 |
Who sings? |
00:22:58 |
The woman in the story |
00:23:00 |
- With the fisherman? |
00:23:03 |
She sings to the |
00:23:06 |
- You sure you're not dreaming, Da? |
00:23:09 |
Yeah. You sure this isn't |
00:23:12 |
- Where did you learn words like that? |
00:23:15 |
- And I didn't? |
00:23:19 |
- You move your mouth when you read. |
00:23:21 |
No, but it means something. |
00:23:24 |
Yeah. A song in a |
00:23:28 |
- That would be Selk. |
00:23:30 |
A kind of seal talk. |
00:23:31 |
- Do you know why she sings? |
00:23:33 |
That's the way they |
00:23:36 |
- They don't speak, they sing. |
00:23:39 |
What lobster? |
00:23:41 |
What I mean is, under the water |
00:23:44 |
- The denizens of the deep. |
00:23:47 |
- She's a seal. She's not human. |
00:23:50 |
- In the story? |
00:23:53 |
- Whose story is this? |
00:23:55 |
- You're making it up? |
00:23:58 |
- What're you planning for the weekend? |
00:24:04 |
Curious. |
00:24:45 |
- Got you some things. |
00:24:47 |
- Messages. |
00:24:50 |
Yeah, food and stuff. Even girls from |
00:24:56 |
You need clothes. |
00:25:07 |
Need to... tie their shoelaces. |
00:25:28 |
Curiouser and curiouser. |
00:25:36 |
- You know my size? |
00:25:39 |
She looked like... your size. |
00:25:48 |
Thank you. |
00:25:52 |
- Can I... |
00:25:54 |
- Can I clean up this place? |
00:25:58 |
- How long are you staying? |
00:26:02 |
- On what? |
00:26:07 |
On me? It depends on me, |
00:26:11 |
- Forever? |
00:26:14 |
Happily ever after. |
00:26:22 |
I've been... |
00:26:29 |
A fairytale. |
00:26:48 |
What's the story, Da? |
00:26:52 |
That's great. See you, Deirdre. |
00:27:01 |
Hi, Annie. |
00:27:04 |
- I'm researching. |
00:27:08 |
Something on seals, is it? |
00:27:20 |
My name's Syracuse, |
00:27:23 |
I've told you before, Circus, that |
00:27:27 |
Well, there's none in this town, Father. |
00:27:41 |
I've been sober two years, |
00:27:47 |
This is where they all clap, Father. |
00:27:50 |
- Did you see that in the movies? |
00:27:53 |
- Thank you. |
00:27:56 |
I had a dream, Father. |
00:27:58 |
I'm at his funeral and she's beside me, |
00:28:02 |
Maybe you still want to be with her. |
00:28:04 |
No, I'm panicking because |
00:28:08 |
Can't happen. She's still drinking. |
00:28:12 |
Perhaps you need |
00:28:15 |
- It's Syracuse. And I'm talking to you. |
00:28:21 |
I could put you both in touch |
00:28:24 |
You have no permission. |
00:28:28 |
Well, whenever you feel able to, |
00:28:33 |
Until then... |
00:28:41 |
Anything else? |
00:28:44 |
I suppose there is. |
00:28:47 |
- Yeah, I stole. |
00:28:52 |
- What did you steal, Syracuse? |
00:28:57 |
Oh, dear, dear, dear, dear. |
00:29:01 |
- This is a bad development. |
00:29:04 |
- There was a reason. |
00:29:07 |
I stole them because I was |
00:29:10 |
- What did you want them for? |
00:29:13 |
A girl? Where did you meet this girl? |
00:29:19 |
I pulled her out of the water in my net. |
00:29:23 |
- In your net? |
00:29:25 |
- You're joking, surely? |
00:29:29 |
Dreaming, maybe. But sure I went back |
00:29:33 |
...there she was. |
00:29:35 |
And did she spend |
00:29:40 |
- No. |
00:29:42 |
- So where did this girl sleep? |
00:29:48 |
- No. I can't force you to, can I? |
00:29:51 |
- And you can't tell anyone, either. |
00:29:56 |
But you'll keep me |
00:30:00 |
Definitely, Father. |
00:30:03 |
- So, will I see you at mass on Sunday? |
00:30:07 |
I suppose I do. |
00:30:10 |
Because there's no AA chapter |
00:30:13 |
You wouldn't say a couple of Hail Marys |
00:30:42 |
- What are you reading, Annie? |
00:30:45 |
Selkies? They're a Scottish thing. |
00:30:48 |
This one isn't. |
00:33:05 |
Curiouser and curiouser. |
00:33:10 |
What's that? |
00:33:11 |
What Alice said to the White Rabbit. |
00:33:16 |
- Come again? |
00:33:19 |
...and... |
00:33:22 |
...curiouser. |
00:33:31 |
- I was real? |
00:33:37 |
- What wasn't a story? |
00:33:45 |
My da told me a story about you. |
00:33:50 |
- Your dad is Syracuse? |
00:33:54 |
So, do you have magic powers? |
00:33:58 |
- Do you? |
00:34:01 |
OK. You don't. |
00:34:05 |
- Can you make me better? |
00:34:09 |
I'm sick. I've got kidney failure. |
00:34:17 |
- What's your name? |
00:34:20 |
Annie. |
00:34:24 |
- I'm Ondine. |
00:34:30 |
I'm examining you for webs. |
00:34:34 |
Well, do I disappoint you? |
00:34:37 |
Ondine is French, isn't it? |
00:34:42 |
- Who said I was French? |
00:34:47 |
Yes. I suppose I did get lost. |
00:34:51 |
- You cold? |
00:34:54 |
Because you're on land now. |
00:34:55 |
Your natural habitat |
00:34:59 |
- You seem to know a lot about me. |
00:35:03 |
...researching. |
00:35:08 |
If I walk across the threshold, |
00:35:11 |
- What's a hex? |
00:35:23 |
Maybe underwater feels better. |
00:35:26 |
- Better than what? |
00:35:30 |
Does it feel better underwater? |
00:35:34 |
- I'm not sure I know what you mean. |
00:35:37 |
Let's not try and fool each other. |
00:35:40 |
And if we're not straightforward, |
00:35:45 |
So we're to be friends, then? |
00:35:48 |
We could be. |
00:35:51 |
So I need you to be specific. |
00:35:54 |
Does it feel better in that |
00:36:00 |
Well, it... definitely feels different. |
00:36:03 |
And I know you don't |
00:36:08 |
Yes. Singing travels better underwater. |
00:36:13 |
- And what about the cold? |
00:36:17 |
Oh, of course, you have |
00:36:23 |
My seal coat? |
00:36:24 |
Look, there's no point |
00:36:26 |
I do know these things. |
00:36:33 |
So... tell me about my seal coat. |
00:36:37 |
You lose it when you |
00:36:39 |
And you can't go back in |
00:36:41 |
And if you do find it and bury it |
00:36:46 |
and you cry seven tears. |
00:36:48 |
But then when the crying is done, |
00:36:51 |
can often find unexpected |
00:36:55 |
- What's it called? |
00:36:59 |
A landsman, that's what. |
00:37:01 |
Selkie women often find |
00:37:06 |
And that's all I know. |
00:37:10 |
This is my granny's place. |
00:37:21 |
And where do you live? |
00:37:22 |
With me ma, and it's not |
00:37:26 |
She'll be wondering where I am. |
00:37:32 |
See you again. |
00:37:36 |
Your cheek is wet. |
00:37:38 |
- Is that one of the seven tears? |
00:37:41 |
You've only six left. |
00:37:49 |
- Can I help you there, Circus? |
00:37:53 |
We do. But, strangely enough, |
00:37:56 |
- Out? |
00:37:59 |
- Annie? |
00:38:02 |
Yeah. Just trying to help her |
00:38:06 |
Good man. |
00:38:11 |
- Does it do stunts, Annie? |
00:38:14 |
Stunts like this. |
00:38:23 |
I don't think it's a |
00:38:25 |
- So it's only for spaz? |
00:38:28 |
You say "special needs". |
00:38:30 |
- Yeah. |
00:38:33 |
- Special needs. |
00:38:39 |
- Does it float? |
00:38:43 |
Special needs, my arse. |
00:38:54 |
Come on, guys. |
00:39:01 |
- Is mam up yet? |
00:39:05 |
- Was there something up? |
00:39:09 |
- Is it battery trouble? |
00:39:14 |
Come here. I don't bite. |
00:39:17 |
Come on. Jesus, you're getting big. |
00:39:23 |
You said you had |
00:39:25 |
Aye. We invented selkies. |
00:39:29 |
In the Outer Hebrides. |
00:39:31 |
- You mean you made them up? |
00:39:45 |
There you go. |
00:39:52 |
- She doesn't speak like you. |
00:40:02 |
Oh, we've got secrets, |
00:40:07 |
- Well, you could say thanks. |
00:40:12 |
You're welcome. |
00:40:55 |
- Do you want to come again? |
00:40:59 |
Only if you want, like. |
00:41:02 |
You promise I'll see nobody but you? |
00:41:04 |
I promise you'll see nobody but me. |
00:41:09 |
You're swimming in my dress? |
00:41:13 |
It was a gift... from a fisherman. |
00:41:40 |
- Can I help? |
00:41:49 |
Right. Straight out to sea. |
00:41:59 |
Keep her steady, would you? |
00:42:19 |
You can't really guide |
00:42:24 |
- I'm not doing well? |
00:42:52 |
Oh, shit. |
00:43:20 |
Would you look at that? |
00:43:24 |
- My God. |
00:43:27 |
That's weird. Salmon. |
00:43:29 |
- Weird? |
00:43:34 |
- Trawling. |
00:43:38 |
- Curiouser and curiouser. |
00:43:42 |
- Alice said it. |
00:43:44 |
- Annie says it, too. |
00:43:46 |
My daughter. |
00:43:53 |
Jesus Christ. |
00:44:17 |
- What? |
00:44:27 |
Lads. |
00:44:34 |
- See you caught salmon. |
00:44:38 |
- How did you catch them? |
00:44:40 |
- And you expect us to believe that? |
00:44:44 |
- Show us your gill nets. |
00:44:54 |
- That's not wet. |
00:44:56 |
- So how did you dry it? |
00:45:07 |
- There's a girl here, Circus. |
00:45:09 |
In your net. |
00:45:13 |
- Is that illegal? |
00:45:18 |
- And you can see her? |
00:45:21 |
Ask her how I caught the salmon. |
00:45:24 |
How did he catch them? |
00:45:26 |
Trawling. |
00:45:28 |
And you want us |
00:45:31 |
Yes. |
00:45:34 |
- What did she say? |
00:45:38 |
Well, then, you'd better believe her. |
00:46:08 |
So, they saw you. |
00:46:12 |
- No. |
00:46:15 |
- Means you're not in my mind. |
00:46:18 |
Course they will. |
00:46:21 |
- What will they say? |
00:46:25 |
Circus. Clowns. Salmon. A girl. |
00:46:31 |
I'm going to the harbour. |
00:46:38 |
- It's done, isn't it? |
00:46:42 |
I've been seen. |
00:47:00 |
Here, take a look at |
00:47:03 |
She's not bad, is she? |
00:47:05 |
It is a small town. Everyone stares. |
00:47:10 |
You can say that again. |
00:47:12 |
What's wrong with being seen? |
00:47:16 |
Nothing. When you look good. |
00:47:21 |
You look mighty. |
00:47:25 |
I'm going to have to |
00:47:27 |
- They've already seen them. |
00:47:29 |
The Fisheries. |
00:47:32 |
They're fine, believe me. |
00:47:38 |
Thanks, Mary. |
00:47:44 |
Can I buy you a present? |
00:47:47 |
Clothes. But can I choose this time? |
00:47:50 |
- You don't like the dress? |
00:47:53 |
...underwear could be better. |
00:47:58 |
- Tight around the edges. |
00:48:08 |
- I knew it wasn't a story. |
00:48:10 |
You're such a shite storyteller anyway. |
00:48:13 |
- I knew it had to be true. |
00:48:17 |
- We've met before. |
00:48:21 |
- What are we doing? |
00:48:24 |
OK. |
00:48:30 |
This town is what you'd call |
00:48:34 |
What does that mean? |
00:48:37 |
A supermodel's nightmare. |
00:48:48 |
Do selkies do lingerie? |
00:48:51 |
Why not? |
00:48:53 |
They wear seaweed knickers |
00:48:57 |
But that's underwater. |
00:49:02 |
I'm not suggesting she |
00:49:11 |
That's where I found her... |
00:49:16 |
- You know what it means? |
00:49:19 |
It's a kind of sanctuary for her kind. |
00:49:23 |
- Her kind? |
00:49:32 |
What do you think? |
00:49:36 |
Or should we say |
00:50:08 |
You cleaned the place. |
00:50:12 |
Like Snow White. |
00:50:17 |
- Is that all right? |
00:50:20 |
I'm little, but I'm not a dwarf. |
00:50:24 |
- Who is Snow White? |
00:50:32 |
- Can you swim, Annie? |
00:50:35 |
There's no pool in the town, |
00:50:39 |
I think it could relax you a lot. |
00:50:43 |
Unless you have a fear of water. |
00:50:45 |
I wouldn't have a fear of water |
00:50:54 |
OK, then. Come on. |
00:50:59 |
What will I wear? |
00:51:03 |
Underwear. |
00:51:14 |
- She's gone already. |
00:51:18 |
The caravan at Poulin. Is that |
00:51:34 |
Thought I might |
00:51:37 |
- The regatta starts at three. |
00:51:41 |
Go diving for pearls? |
00:51:46 |
Something like that. |
00:51:50 |
What kind of stories are you spinning? |
00:51:57 |
Just relax. |
00:52:00 |
OK. Lie down now. |
00:52:04 |
I'll hold you. |
00:52:08 |
Easy. You see? |
00:52:12 |
- You think? |
00:52:15 |
Relax. Relax. |
00:52:22 |
OK, let's go on the raft. OK? |
00:52:50 |
- What's that? |
00:52:52 |
- You found your seal coat. |
00:52:55 |
- Are you going to bury it? |
00:52:59 |
Yes, because it means |
00:53:02 |
- Would you like that? |
00:53:07 |
- We had better bury it then. |
00:53:09 |
OK. |
00:53:14 |
Help me. |
00:53:15 |
Will I remember where it is? |
00:53:18 |
Watch this. |
00:53:37 |
Seventeen steps. |
00:53:40 |
And it's our secret. |
00:53:47 |
You know, Da, if she buries her seal |
00:53:51 |
- Annie... |
00:53:53 |
- With a... what's it called again? |
00:53:59 |
Unless her selkie husband |
00:54:01 |
- I don't have a husband. |
00:54:05 |
All selkies do. |
00:54:19 |
- Go on! Go on! |
00:54:34 |
These are magic, man, I'm telling you. |
00:54:39 |
And the thing last is, Da, |
00:54:43 |
- Please, Annie. |
00:54:46 |
But I'm not a selk. |
00:54:49 |
OK. You're not a selk. |
00:55:01 |
- Come on, lads, pull harder! |
00:55:19 |
So you're not a selk. Prove it! |
00:55:22 |
What? |
00:55:27 |
Annie! Annie! |
00:55:31 |
Annie! Annie? |
00:55:34 |
Annie? Annie? |
00:55:41 |
Annie? |
00:55:43 |
Annie? |
00:55:45 |
Annie! |
00:55:59 |
Jesus Christ... |
00:56:08 |
Annie! Come here to me. |
00:56:11 |
Come here, baby. |
00:56:14 |
I got you. |
00:56:15 |
Jesus Christ. What happened? |
00:56:18 |
- The brakes went. |
00:56:20 |
- The brakes went. |
00:56:24 |
- Come here! |
00:56:25 |
- Lucky, how? |
00:56:29 |
Jesus. |
00:56:41 |
- What happened? |
00:56:44 |
- Come here. |
00:56:46 |
- By the pier. She saved me. |
00:56:50 |
Clown. Come on. We'll get you |
00:57:01 |
The brakes, they didn't go, did they? |
00:57:03 |
- No. She did that herself. |
00:57:09 |
To test me, maybe? |
00:57:18 |
Strange... Feels like home. |
00:57:23 |
Who is this woman, Annie? |
00:57:26 |
She's from the Orkney Islands. |
00:57:30 |
What if she was? |
00:57:31 |
I imagine she'd be a wee bit wet |
00:57:34 |
- Bit cold round the old thigh region. |
00:57:38 |
Your clown of a fisherman |
00:57:41 |
Close the door, Ma. |
00:57:44 |
Did he declare her |
00:57:47 |
How much would you do for her? |
00:57:51 |
- You testing me, too? |
00:57:59 |
So why do they call you |
00:58:02 |
Because I was one for years. I drank. |
00:58:07 |
- What made you stop? |
00:58:12 |
I came back from a week |
00:58:15 |
...found her unconscious. |
00:58:20 |
I thought one of us better be sober. |
00:58:25 |
- You couldn't take Annie with you? |
00:58:30 |
Men like me don't get custody. |
00:58:33 |
- Someone was looking for her. |
00:58:35 |
- A man. |
00:58:36 |
- Yeah. |
00:58:38 |
- What's her name? |
00:58:39 |
That's not what he called her. |
00:58:44 |
- Men like you? |
00:58:57 |
Are you dry? |
00:59:11 |
Didn't Annie tell you? |
00:59:14 |
When a selk makes |
00:59:17 |
...she weeps... |
00:59:20 |
...salt tears. |
00:59:41 |
You said you died. In the water. |
00:59:46 |
How many lives do you have? |
00:59:48 |
For you? I can't count. |
01:00:11 |
My name's Syracuse |
01:00:14 |
And you've been sober for |
01:00:18 |
Twenty-one days. |
01:00:21 |
- Doing very well, Syracuse. |
01:00:24 |
Oh, yes. |
01:00:30 |
- I drew her up in a net, Father. |
01:00:34 |
- Syracuse. |
01:00:39 |
So, what about her? |
01:00:45 |
Of course. |
01:00:47 |
And I don't suppose |
01:00:50 |
- No. |
01:00:52 |
So, why are you here, Syracuse? |
01:00:57 |
You know the story about |
01:01:01 |
and it drove him mad |
01:01:06 |
OK, so... pretend I'm a tree. |
01:01:11 |
She brings me luck... |
01:01:18 |
I'm afraid, Father... |
01:01:21 |
...because... |
01:01:23 |
...I'm beginning to hope. |
01:01:27 |
We should never lose hope, Syracuse. |
01:01:30 |
She was drowned, Father, |
01:01:32 |
- It doesn't make sense. |
01:01:35 |
None of it makes sense, |
01:01:37 |
I know something's going |
01:01:41 |
Or terrible. |
01:01:46 |
It's just the kind of girl she is. |
01:01:50 |
It's just the kind of person she is. |
01:01:55 |
And that's my secret. |
01:01:59 |
So what kind of tree are you, Father? |
01:02:02 |
I suppose I'm an oak. |
01:02:06 |
You look more like one of the ones |
01:02:08 |
- they make hurley sticks out of. |
01:02:11 |
As long as you're a tree. |
01:02:17 |
Hey. You Syracuse? |
01:02:19 |
- Yeah. |
01:02:21 |
- What's it to you? |
01:02:25 |
The girl on the boat. |
01:02:30 |
My mascot. |
01:02:43 |
- You were upset last night. |
01:02:46 |
- Your mam said you were. |
01:02:52 |
- Do you imagine things, Da? |
01:02:57 |
It's because |
01:03:00 |
My blood going from here to there. |
01:03:05 |
It's hard. |
01:03:18 |
- Where is everybody? |
01:03:24 |
- The regatta? |
01:03:26 |
There's bands playing. Late night |
01:03:31 |
- Have you got a key? |
01:03:34 |
- Annie. |
01:03:39 |
- Where does she drink these days? |
01:03:43 |
Skippers? |
01:04:35 |
Hello? |
01:04:41 |
Hello? |
01:05:08 |
- Done it, Ma. |
01:05:12 |
Careful. |
01:05:14 |
Just give us the keys, Maura. |
01:05:17 |
She'll be fine. |
01:05:19 |
- Please, Maura. |
01:05:22 |
- She's coming to my place. |
01:05:25 |
Home to your mermaid, Circus, huh? |
01:05:28 |
You know, he's got himself |
01:05:30 |
- Annie? |
01:05:35 |
- Two shots, aye? |
01:05:37 |
That's it. Middle pocket, right? |
01:05:41 |
Right middle pocket. |
01:05:44 |
- Oh, pish. |
01:06:03 |
Ondine! |
01:06:09 |
Ondine! |
01:06:18 |
Ondine! |
01:06:32 |
Don't I get seven years? |
01:06:37 |
- Remember the bit about selkie men? |
01:06:42 |
Well, he's here. |
01:06:44 |
- And he's taking her back? |
01:06:55 |
So I'll see you at home then, huh? |
01:06:59 |
Hey. |
01:07:01 |
A guy was breathalysed |
01:07:04 |
No, seriously. |
01:07:09 |
What if I take the footpath? |
01:07:11 |
Look, you're still in charge |
01:07:15 |
I'll go slowly. |
01:07:30 |
- Tell him to piss off. |
01:07:34 |
- Wish, then. |
01:07:37 |
- You can grant a wish. |
01:07:42 |
- Annie says so. |
01:07:47 |
I wish she wasn't sick. |
01:07:53 |
So do I. |
01:07:56 |
And I wish you'd stay. |
01:07:59 |
- That's two wishes. |
01:08:24 |
Have you got your lights on, hen? |
01:08:49 |
Maybe it's all a lie. |
01:08:51 |
Maybe you walked into the sea |
01:08:57 |
- Would you believe that? |
01:09:03 |
- What happened? |
01:09:10 |
- That's not the story, though. |
01:09:17 |
Like Annie says, I'm a selk. |
01:09:21 |
Something's up. |
01:09:25 |
A crash. |
01:09:32 |
No. No... |
01:09:35 |
No! Annie. Get out... out of me way! |
01:09:42 |
- Annie. Annie. Annie! |
01:09:47 |
She's OK, she's OK. |
01:09:51 |
Jesus Christ! |
01:09:53 |
She's been a terrible accident, |
01:09:57 |
Annie is fine. |
01:10:16 |
- You wore your seat-belt, love. |
01:10:21 |
I don't know yet. |
01:10:27 |
- She's all right... Father? |
01:10:31 |
We're going to move her to |
01:10:40 |
Is something wrong? |
01:10:45 |
- What's happening? |
01:10:57 |
- What's happening? |
01:10:59 |
Syracuse, can we talk in private? |
01:11:01 |
- What's going on? |
01:11:04 |
- What? |
01:11:08 |
Strangest thing, but it's happened. |
01:11:10 |
- Are you serious? |
01:11:32 |
Retractor. |
01:11:48 |
So why are you here? |
01:11:51 |
- You speak their language now. |
01:11:57 |
- I wish you were dead. |
01:12:02 |
So... the sea spat you out, did it? |
01:12:07 |
It can swallow me again. |
01:12:09 |
We don't belong here, do we? |
01:12:13 |
- So? Go home. |
01:12:18 |
- Police want to talk to me. |
01:12:22 |
She came from nowhere. Drunk. |
01:12:26 |
- They should talk to her, not me. |
01:12:29 |
I will. And then you'll tell me. |
01:12:33 |
Nothing. |
01:12:51 |
Hey. |
01:12:54 |
Where's mam? |
01:12:57 |
She's asleep. She can't see |
01:13:02 |
- Where's Ondine? |
01:13:06 |
You'll see her, too. |
01:13:31 |
He had a wife and |
01:13:35 |
Where are they now? |
01:13:37 |
They said we were welcome to him. |
01:13:40 |
I'm sorry it happened like this. |
01:13:44 |
- Sure I can't take it in. |
01:13:51 |
Why aren't you blaming me? |
01:13:54 |
Because, for once, |
01:13:56 |
- Why do I feel as if I did? |
01:14:01 |
You get everything wrong. |
01:14:08 |
I met him on this ferry. |
01:14:11 |
- Where was I? |
01:14:20 |
Take Annie home, when she's stronger, |
01:14:24 |
- I can't cope. |
01:14:27 |
- It's what you always wanted, isn't it? |
01:14:30 |
So... you've got it. |
01:14:33 |
But I don't want that woman there. |
01:14:37 |
And take me to his wake now. |
01:14:40 |
- I can't. |
01:14:50 |
- Two whiskies and ice. |
01:14:52 |
- Two. |
01:14:55 |
Show some respect. |
01:15:13 |
- Get rid of her, Circus. |
01:15:17 |
Your water baby. |
01:15:47 |
Two more, Maggie. |
01:16:06 |
You all right? |
01:16:24 |
Finders keepers. |
01:16:42 |
Why are you looking |
01:16:43 |
Because you're a selkie... |
01:16:49 |
- A peaceful night's sleep, had you? |
01:16:55 |
- He's still out there somewhere. |
01:17:02 |
Hey! |
01:17:13 |
That bit about the husband... |
01:17:15 |
- He's not my husband. |
01:17:22 |
- My pushta. |
01:17:29 |
Look. You're home. |
01:17:33 |
- You can sing your song. |
01:17:37 |
To me. Go on, sing. |
01:17:42 |
- I can't. |
01:17:43 |
- Because you're drunk. |
01:17:46 |
You can sing to me then. |
01:17:48 |
I fished round here for years. |
01:17:52 |
Maybe you were dead. |
01:17:55 |
Yes! |
01:17:57 |
And now you're gonna haunt me? |
01:17:59 |
Forever! Come here. |
01:18:02 |
What does "haunt" mean? |
01:18:19 |
You want some? |
01:18:26 |
Selkies don't drink? |
01:18:36 |
So... you're safe here. |
01:18:44 |
- How's Annie? |
01:18:55 |
She's safe, too. |
01:19:00 |
I got another bottle on the boat. |
01:19:03 |
Syracuse. |
01:19:07 |
What does "haunt" mean? |
01:19:09 |
It means what you're doing... to me. |
01:19:27 |
You wouldn't. |
01:19:32 |
Syracuse! Syracuse! |
01:19:38 |
Don't! |
01:19:42 |
- What are you doing? |
01:19:45 |
But this one does. |
01:19:48 |
What do you mean? |
01:19:51 |
I mean your kind and my kind. |
01:19:57 |
- I have to say goodbye... |
01:20:02 |
...to Annie. |
01:21:45 |
Syracuse. |
01:22:03 |
- Hey, buddy. |
01:22:08 |
Yeah. You are. |
01:22:12 |
You're my sobriety buddy. |
01:22:15 |
Where were you last night? |
01:22:19 |
- You fell off the wagon. |
01:22:25 |
Circus of fools. |
01:22:27 |
I was twirling around that big top. |
01:22:33 |
I'm back in the sawdust now. |
01:22:37 |
And it tastes like shite. |
01:22:45 |
Do you know |
01:22:48 |
You can't take good luck. |
01:22:54 |
Ten out of ten, Sherlock. |
01:22:58 |
Misery is easy, Syracuse. |
01:23:04 |
Why didn't the tree say that? |
01:23:07 |
Sure, the tree's |
01:23:15 |
- What about the girl? |
01:23:19 |
- And Annie? |
01:23:22 |
I'm taking her home with me. |
01:23:26 |
After that, there's no excuses, |
01:23:32 |
No. |
01:23:35 |
- Why are you crying? |
01:23:38 |
Yes, you are. I can tell. |
01:23:40 |
Maybe because you're |
01:23:42 |
- You're home. |
01:23:46 |
Ondine had to go away for a while. |
01:23:49 |
- That's why you're crying. |
01:23:53 |
- Did her husband come? |
01:23:56 |
Because she's gone. |
01:24:00 |
- But she'll be back, you know. |
01:24:03 |
I know. |
01:24:04 |
- She left something here. |
01:24:10 |
The eldest of two children, |
01:24:17 |
- What time is it? |
01:24:21 |
- Why didn't you wake me? |
01:24:25 |
- I thought you were the baby. |
01:24:32 |
- Do you want breakfast? |
01:24:39 |
There you are, baby. |
01:25:08 |
- Annie, that song. |
01:25:10 |
Just a minute ago. |
01:25:20 |
- It's real. |
01:25:23 |
It's Sigur Rós. |
01:25:39 |
Annie, I have to go out for a bit. |
01:25:42 |
- I'll take you to your mam's. |
01:25:44 |
- I can't leave you on your own. |
01:25:47 |
- Don't you get it? I'm better. |
01:25:51 |
You got some unfinished sea business? |
01:25:54 |
- I suppose. |
01:25:58 |
I'm kind of busy here anyway. |
01:26:27 |
Hey! |
01:26:49 |
Hey! |
01:27:21 |
There were seals down there. |
01:27:23 |
Basking on the rock. My kind, huh? |
01:27:27 |
- I didn't say that. |
01:27:34 |
Then the storm came up. |
01:27:38 |
They slipped into the water, one by one. |
01:27:41 |
I was going to join them. |
01:27:48 |
What changed your mind? |
01:27:52 |
What changed yours? |
01:27:58 |
She was switching channels on the TV, |
01:28:04 |
Was never my song. |
01:28:09 |
- So tell me. |
01:28:12 |
- No. Take me home. |
01:28:15 |
Where do you think? |
01:28:19 |
- You'll tell me the truth now. |
01:28:25 |
The truth is I'm a creature |
01:28:29 |
and buried it because |
01:28:32 |
- Please. |
01:28:38 |
That's one truth. |
01:28:44 |
Try me. |
01:28:48 |
OK. |
01:28:53 |
I am a prisoner and |
01:28:58 |
I said the real truth. |
01:29:04 |
This is the real truth. |
01:29:07 |
I was on a boat with |
01:29:12 |
Coast Guard came, |
01:29:14 |
- Vladic? |
01:29:19 |
My pushta. |
01:29:43 |
He was like a monster, from a fairytale. |
01:29:46 |
But he couldn't swim, |
01:29:54 |
I was always a good swimmer, |
01:30:02 |
I swam till I could swim no more. |
01:30:06 |
Then I floated. |
01:30:09 |
Then I sank. |
01:30:14 |
It was almost a relief. |
01:30:20 |
I said, "Here goes... I die". |
01:30:36 |
And that's the truth. |
01:30:42 |
You brought me back to life. |
01:30:46 |
I found a caravan, a family. |
01:30:51 |
Now it's gone, OK? |
01:30:55 |
Caravan's going nowhere. |
01:31:06 |
What's your real name? |
01:31:13 |
- It's Joanna. |
01:31:27 |
Just tell her you were away |
01:31:30 |
Sea business? |
01:31:37 |
- Annie? |
01:31:39 |
- Told who? |
01:31:42 |
You told us about |
01:31:47 |
And how Ondine came out of the water. |
01:31:49 |
But nothing important, I swear. |
01:31:52 |
Seven tears are important, surely? |
01:31:57 |
Still some details |
01:32:01 |
Do you want to eat some? |
01:32:02 |
- Da! |
01:32:10 |
- Who the heck are you? |
01:32:13 |
We've got seals, selkies, clowns... |
01:32:23 |
- Is she the swimmer? |
01:32:25 |
- Is she the one that lost it? |
01:32:28 |
- Where is it? |
01:32:30 |
- He wants her seal coat. |
01:32:33 |
- Yes, I want her seal coat. |
01:32:35 |
- We have to. |
01:32:37 |
- We don't know that. |
01:32:39 |
- Tell her! |
01:32:40 |
That you don't care about me. |
01:32:42 |
- I don't care about her! |
01:32:46 |
- What's he saying? |
01:32:49 |
Let them go. Put that thing away! |
01:32:52 |
- Where? |
01:32:54 |
- It's OK... |
01:33:01 |
Here, Annie. |
01:33:15 |
What? What? |
01:33:17 |
Here, it was here, I swear. I swear. |
01:33:22 |
Stop it! Stop it. |
01:33:25 |
- Listen to me. Listen to me... |
01:33:28 |
- Don't make me bite. |
01:33:33 |
...he digs it up and then she doesn't |
01:33:36 |
Tell them where you moved it |
01:33:39 |
I don't want you to go. |
01:33:41 |
If you tell me where you moved it, |
01:33:44 |
- How long? |
01:33:46 |
I'll find a job on a fishing boat, |
01:33:50 |
- Cross your heart? |
01:33:54 |
- The lobster pot. |
01:33:57 |
- What lobster pot? |
01:34:00 |
- OK, show us. |
01:34:01 |
Show us, baby. |
01:34:09 |
Give it here... |
01:34:21 |
It's full of water. |
01:34:23 |
- He's not a selkie, is he? |
01:34:27 |
- You still are. |
01:34:34 |
Always. |
01:34:47 |
Help! I can't swim. Help! |
01:34:53 |
Keep that gun on him. |
01:35:14 |
- So he couldn't breathe underwater? |
01:35:18 |
- Does that mean he drowned? |
01:35:33 |
- That's it, lads. Over this way now. |
01:35:39 |
All right, let's go. |
01:35:49 |
- Is this not an AA meeting? |
01:35:54 |
Thing is, Father, she's |
01:35:59 |
- And? |
01:36:03 |
And? |
01:36:05 |
And this is the confessional, |
01:36:09 |
I'm still an oak. |
01:36:10 |
I thought you were a |
01:36:13 |
- An ash. |
01:36:15 |
Well, her solicitor said |
01:36:19 |
if she doesn't become a national. |
01:36:21 |
So she has to apply |
01:36:26 |
Or... she gets... married. |
01:36:34 |
So, who's going to marry her, Syracuse? |
01:36:39 |
Well... it's not like |
01:36:43 |
- Well, I can't marry her. |
01:36:46 |
Exactly. |
01:37:13 |
And I threw the |
01:37:15 |
I told a lie about that, too. |
01:37:20 |
Because I wanted her to stay forever. |
01:37:22 |
She's staying forever? |
01:37:24 |
Yeah. Haven't you heard? |
01:37:26 |
They're getting married |
01:37:29 |
So I suppose she isn't a selkie, really. |
01:37:33 |
Because you can't marry a seal, |
01:37:36 |
No. You definitely cannot. |
01:37:39 |
Not in the real quotidian world anyway. |
01:37:42 |
- Quotidian? |
01:37:44 |
Means the one we have to live in. |
01:37:48 |
If she was a seal, though, |
01:37:51 |
Me? |
01:37:54 |
What about your past lives? |
01:37:57 |
- Are you sure I have them? |
01:38:01 |
It's just a matter of remembering. |
01:38:03 |
- Stop peeping, would you? |
01:38:07 |
I mean, you could have even |
