Here are the keys for
our brand new house.
[fire whirring]
Thank you.
[person laughing]
Both of you taking your first
steps into your new home.
Our little boy, what
we gonna call it?
- Joe.
[person laughing]
- Little Joe.
[gentle music]
[baby crying]
[birds chirping]
[baby crying]
- You're lucky, a lot of my
Mum's are already extracting
at this stage.
- Yeah, I just wondered
if it was normal.
- Is it causing any discomfort?
- Yeah, a little bit, yeah.
It's bit sore.
- It's a huge part of
the bonding process
But if you don't feel capable.
- Here we go then.
Right, who's is one sugar?
- Me.
- Sorry.
- There you go.
[baby crying]
everything alright?
- His weight isn't coming up
as quickly as I'd like it to.
- How come?
All he does is eat, night
and day isn't it love?
- That's the thing, he
doesn't even sick up either.
He screams every time
like I take him off.
Just constant screaming.
- Ain't the happiest
baby, is he?
- No.
- My sister's two,
all they do is giggle.
- He has a healthy appetite.
Your priority should
be to indulge it.
[baby crying]
[sinister music]
[baby crying]
[baby crying]
[Nurse] He has a
healthy appetite.
It's a huge part of
bonding, you're lucky.
Natural part of the
bonding process,
he has a healthy appetite,
you should indulge it.
[food squelching]
- Joe.
- You need to take
care of yourself love.
- What and the
house as well, yeah?
- Splash of makeup
and your hair done,
it can do wonders.
- Joe, can you come
and see your nan?
- I suppose Craig's
busy again, is he?
- Mum, don't.
- But I just think.
- Mum!
Can we just not.
Joe!
[alarm whirring]
- Sorry, I didn't realize it
was such a touchy subject.
- I've told you, that
is not for eating.
- Bless him, he's starving.
- He's not starving, he
eats like a f*cking pig.
- Laura, how can
you be so cruel?
Come and sit with ya nanny.
- I'll be back at five.
[dramatic music]
I was thinking some sort
of like parasite maybe,
or worms.
- The blood tests say no,
his weight is fine too.
He's a growing boy,
growing boys eat.
- Yeah, it's just not quite
as straightforward as that.
- Let's talk about you,
Laura.
- Yeah, I'm fine,
I just really need to know
what's wrong with my son.
- I can assure you.
- Well, I can assure
you that he eats.
He eats and he eats
and he never stops.
[food whirring]
Please, why won't you
people just listen.
- We'll see you
again in six months.
[vacuum whirring]
[door whirring]
[footsteps banging]
[food squelching]
[bell ringing]
- We feel that there are issues
around malnourishment
and neglect.
We have a duty of care to
inform the relevant authorities.
Is Mr. Gilligan joining us?
- No.
[person breathing]
- There are also concerns
around Joe's, his--
- You can say it, he stinks.
- His hygiene.
- He baths every day
and he stinks
the moment he gets out,
I actually can't stomach
it myself anymore.
[Mum laughing]
[objects whirring]
[food squelching]
[brush scrubbing]
[water whirring]

- Just sit still.

Excuse me, can you get off.

you in six months.

I'm just not in a good place
to be in a relationship,
I know what I said.
I'm just too busy right now.

reached Ben Ross.
[phone beeping]
[upbeat music]
[door knocking]
- Hi, you called
about your water.
What seems to be the problem?
- Hi, yeah, come in.
I tried turning on the water
and it wouldn't turn on
anywhere in the house.
My parents said their bathtub
wasn't draining last week.
I don't know if that has
anything to do with it.
- Probably not, but
I'll check that first.
Where's their room?
- It's the one right there.
- Perfect, thanks.
This will only take a minute.
- Okay, thank you.
[footsteps walking]
[upbeat music]
Day, we're gonna play
You'll cry when
they say bye bye
Then we're gonna cry
[doorbell ringing]
[footsteps walking]
- Hello, I'm Levi,
I'm from Blue House
Plumbing Services,
here to check the drain.
- No, someone already
came, he's upstairs.
- That's not right.
I'm the only one they sent out.
- But someone's
already upstairs.
- Can't be from our company.
I'm the only one that
works night shifts.
[tense music]
Did you call another company?
- No, no, just you guys.
- Do you want me
to check upstairs?
Probably just a
misunderstanding.
[door creaking]
- Okay.
[footsteps walking]
[upbeat music]
[dramatic music]
He went in that room.
- Hello?
- Hello?
no one's here.
[water running]
- But it wasn't working before.
- Maybe he just
fixed it and left.
- He didn't say
anything to me though.
[phone buzzing]
- Listen, I've got
another house to get to.
It's probably just
a misunderstanding.
- At least it's working.
But wait, he was here.
He walked.
- Probably just fixed
the faucets and left.
Trust me, it happens
all the time.
No one's here anymore.
[upbeat music]
[door creaking]
- Hey, call me if the
water goes out, all right.
Can die

- Who's that?
- [Man] Hello?
Da's in the big shed if
you're looking something.
We've no beef left, but
we've pig and chucks.
- [Man] Hello.
- There's no beef left.
Only pig and chucks.
Go on over to the big
shed, Da'll sort you out.
- [Man] Hello?
[door whirring]
- I don't need any beef.
- We have no beef
left, pig and chucks
and maybe a [Inaudible]
of eggs, but that's all.
- I don't want any food.
- What do you want?
- I want one thing
and one thing only,
to share the good word.
The word laid down
by our father,
the gospel according to my
Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.
Tell me Mrs.
[birds chirping]
- Taggart.
- Mrs. Taggart.
Tell me Mrs Taggart,
are you a believer?
Have you accepted the
Lord Jesus as your savior?
- Long ago, but I'm no one
for talking about our
savior on doorsteps.
You better come in.
- Thank you Mrs. Taggart.
[door closing]
- You can call me Ma,
everyone else does.
- And is there a Mr. Taggart?
- Da, he's in the big shed.
- Your father?
- Dear bless us no,
my father's dead this
20 years, my husband,
we've called each other ma and
da since I don't know when.
- My grandparents used
to do the same thing.
- Aye, I suppose it's
old fashioned nowadays.
- Well, sometimes the
old ways are the best.
- That's what I keep saying.
They wanted us to put the
electric here in the house.
But I says no, I'm not having
them wires in my walls.
I stick with my oil lamps.
No one knows what that
electric does to you.
There's wee, Mrs.
Convoy down the road.
She got the electric in.
Next thing you know, she
has the cancer in her tits.
- Get away with you.
- I'm telling you,
been buried a year now.
- Well, I hope she
knew the Lord Jesus.
- She did.
- Well, isn't that a mercy?
- Hey, it is.
You take a wee cup of tea?
- I couldn't put
you to the trouble.
- Sure it's made.
[cow mooing]
Sit down.
- Thank you.
[objects clinking]
- So what do you
do for your living?
- I spread the good word.
- A minister or a
pastor or something?
- No, no, a missionary.
- What, you mean
going to Africa?
Preaching to the darkies?
- Every man, woman and child
deserves to hear the good word.
Do you not think?
- I know but Africa?
- And India and South America.
And China and Korea.
I have brought the
good word to black men,
brown men, yellow men, red men.
Any shade of man
you care to imagine.
- My goodness, all them places.
Me and Da went to Blackpool
once on our honeymoon.
We had to get the boat.
[liquid pouring]
One thing you won't find in
this house is a blunt Kn*fe.
Da keeps them all like razors.
You could shave with that there.
- Is that right?
- He earns his living
from his knives,
just like his father did
and his father before that.
They're all butchers.
- It's a good trade.
- Keeps us going.
We raised a few
animals ourselves
and some of the local farmers
bring their animals
to us for butchering.
Keeps him busy, milk?
- Yes, please.
[milk pouring]
Aye.
People will always
want their beef.
- Aye.
- So you sell the meat
from here, like a shop?
- Sort of, Da works
in the big shed.
You'll have saw that
when you drove up.
That's where he
sells the beef from.
That's where he does
the butchering too.
- All by himself?
- Wee Danny lends a
hand the odd time.
He's the other sort.
But he's a decent
enough young fellow.
- Is he there today?
- No, not today,
he's in school today.
- So it's just you
and your husband then?
- Aye.
- You haven't been blessed with
children is all I'm asking.
I didn't want to come right out
and say it in case I upset you.
- No, no, we weren't blessed.
I did pray for things to
be different and so did Da,
but the Lord had his
own plans for us.
What about yourself?
- No, my wife and I
did intend to start
a family, but she--
- She what?
- She perished.
- How?
- Malaria, when
we were in India.
- I'm awful sorry.
- She gave her life to
the Lord Jesus Christ.
She d*ed spreading
the good word for him.
I will see her by his
side when the time comes.
- Aye, you will,
you will [inaudible]
You'll stay for a bit
of dinner, won't you?
- I couldn't impose on you.
- You're imposing nothing.
You're staying and that's that.
We're having veal.
- Veal?
- Aye, that's not something
you get every day, is it?
You'll stay for a bit
of veal, won't you?
- Well it does sound lovely.
- What's that you finished?
- Aye.
[door whirring]
- What's this?
- We have a visitor.
Mr., you didn't
tell me your name.
- Ivan, Ivan Cutler,
please to meet you Mr. Taggart.
[Taggart laughing]
- I near caught you red handed.
- Should've told you
about Da, he's a one.
- Look, the red hand of Ulster.
- Don't get him started,
he'll have you in fits.
- Is there tea?
- Aye, I'll get you wee cup now.
Sit down Ivan.
[water sloshing]
He's a missionary.
- That right?
- That's right.
- So where've you been?
- Africa, south
America, India, China.
You name a place,
I've been there.
- Borneo.
- I spent a month in
continental Malaysia.
Didn't make it to the island.
- Timbuktu.
- I actually spent
a few days in Mali.
Didn't get as far as--
- Phoenix, Arizona.
- Do you know I've never
been to the United States.
- [Taggart] That's three places.
- Sorry?
- You says name a place,
I named three places,
you've been to none of them.
- Well I was speaking
figuratively.
I mean obviously there are
places I haven't been to.
- You were playing the smart
man and I caught you out.
Isn't that right?
- Well, I don't know if
I would put it exactly.
- You were playing
the smart man.
- I wouldn't.
- You were playing
the smart man.
- What about
yourself, Mr. Taggart?
Where have you been?
- A few places, but I
don't crow about it.
- Neither do I but you asked.
- It's getting late. You
have a bit of a drive
to Colraine, if that's
where you're for.
- Mrs. Taggert asked
me to stay for dinner.
- Has she now?
- That's right.
- Is that right, ma?
Did you ask this young fellow
to stay for his dinner?
- Aye.
- You sure?
- Aye.
- Are you absolutely sure?
- Aye, I'm sure.
- Right, so you're staying then.
- If it's not too much trouble?
- Oh, it's no trouble for me.
[Taggart slurping]
- Good.
- So what church are you with?
- Oh, I'm not with any
church in particular.
I believe the Lord
has many houses.
- What were you reared as?
- Presbyterian.
- We're Church of Ireland,
but we don't make any odds
between the one or the other,
except the payments of course.
- Course.
- So you're not
drumming up business
for any church in particular?
- No, I'm not working
for any one church.
I'm a freelancer, as they say.
Which brings me to why I
am calling on you today.
- All right?
- Because I'm not affiliated
with any one particular church,
I'm beholden to good
people such as yourselves
to fund my expeditions.
- Right, so you're
looking for money.
- For the Lord's work, yes.
- We give our tithes to the
Church of Ireland every week.
There are some weeks
we can afford it.
There are some weeks
we can't afford it,
but we give it just the same.
- I understand.
Well, you've already
been more than generous
with your hospitality,
I don't want to be.
[Mrs Taggart grunting]
[Taggart slurping]
[gentle music]
What the?
[person grunting]
[object creaking]
I know you're there.
What do you want, Taggart?
Whatever it is you want,
we can talk it through.
You want money?
I've got money.
There's three rolls of it there.
I don't even know how
much there is there.
150, probably more.
It's yours.
You can have it all, just
tell me what you want.
Let me go now, well forget
about it, all right?
If you don't let me go,
I swear to you, I
am going to skin you
and your bitch wife
alive, you hear me?
You f*cking hear me Taggart,
Taggart I know you're
there, Taggart, Taggart,
let me outta here.
Taggart, let me the
f*ck outta here,
I'll f*cking k*ll you,
you're a f*cking dead man,
you're a dead man, you
and your f*cking wife,
are both f*cking dead.
- So?
[chair scraping]
- So what?
- So why him?
- I liked the cut of him.
- I suppose that's as
good a reason as any.
Dear Father, we thank
you for this blessing,
for this bounteous gift today,
we eat with gratitude
in our hearts.
Thank you oh Lord for what
we are about to receive,
our Father which art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy
will be done on earth
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who
trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the
kingdom, the power
and the glory, forever
and ever, Amen.
Somewhere the sun is shining
Somewhere the
song birds dwell
Hush then your
God lives and all is well
Somewhere, somewhere
Beautiful isle of somewhere
Land of the truth
Where we live anew
Beautiful isle of somewhere

What could I do

You left and you ran away
Ever let me go
