EILEEN'S SON: God knows what she's come up with this time.
Ma, we've been here ages. Come on.
- [LAUGHS] - Ma, he's going to wet himself.
Would you's ever wait? I'm trying to do me hair.
We've been waiting.
- Would you hurry up? - PATRICK: I'm bursting.
KATHY: We want to see you. Come on out.
- Are you's ready now? - KIDS: Yes!
- Jesus! - What?
Whoo-whoo!
[WHISPERS] Open up, you bastard.
[WHISPERS] I'll put it back, God, I swear.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER ON TV]
Hiya, son.
Hiya, Rosie.
Are you hiding? Where did Rosie go?
Daniel, where's Rosie?
- Jeez, give us a look at you. - Wash your hands.
George...
have you any money?
- GEORGE: Why do you need it? - Pilgrimage.
What bleeding pilgrimage?
We're entering a talent contest.
The winner gets two tickets
to go to Lourdes with the parish.
Dolly, I don't care what you do, win or lose,
you're not taking him to Lourdes.
- Why not? - Because I'm out there
every day, breaking me bollocks
and you want to give our money to the church?
- They have loads. - We've been to all the doctors
in Dublin, and they don't know what's wrong with him.
And some faker in Lourdes is going to know?
Miracles happen there, George.
He could speak.
That's all we want.
We can't just give up on him.
Look, maybe he doesn't want to talk.
That's fine with me.
- Where's Rosie? Find Rosie. - [DOLLY SNIFFLES]
You going to feed the meter?
[♪]
Oh, Maureen, the things I do for you.
You're probably up there in stitches, laughing at me.
[GROANS] Let's see if Tommy can do that.
[GRUNTS]
MAN ON RADIO: And he said "I heard you the first time."
[CROWD LAUGHS ON RADIO]
[♪]
Right. Here you are, love. Mind how you go.
Chrissie Aherne?
- Father Dermot. - Yeah.
Thank you...
for contacting me.
I'm sorry I was too late. My flight was cancelled.
- I... - You're here now.
That's all that matters.
Let me offer you my heartfelt condolences.
The death of a parent is a terrible loss.
I'm fine.
- Big turnout for the vigil. - Well now, you see,
we have the Holy Cross All Stars Talent Contest tonight.
It's been planned for months.
It's a-- it's a fundraiser for Lourdes.
Your mother was on the committee
and she worked so hard to make it a success
and everyone felt that she'd want us to go ahead with it.
We kind of feel it's sort of like Maureen's wake.
I hope you don't think we're being insensitive.
It's fine.
May I have the keys to the house, please?
I'm sorry, yeah, of course.
- [WHISPERS] There you go. - [WHISPERS] Thank you.
- A lot of flowers. - Hm.
Let me know how much it cost. I'll pay you back.
The parish didn't pay for the flowers.
Who did it?
Your mother's friend, Lily Fox.
- Tommy. - TOMMY: Yeah.
Would you, would you give me a hand with this zip?
- I can't... - Yeah.
God be with the days when somebody died,
the whole street went dark.
Now, look at us. We're off to do a bloody cabaret. [SCOFFS]
How do I look?
You look lovely.
I went to visit Declan today, asked him to bring us luck.
TOMMY: You're not visiting our son,
you're visiting a pile of bad memories
stuffed with rocks and statues that don't mean anything.
I asked him to watch over me tonight.
What do you want to be going to Lourdes for anyway?
I've always wanted to go there, all my life.
And look, look, I'm running out of chances.
[KIDS LAUGHING]
- PATRICK: Can't catch me. - I'll get you, Patrick.
You're finished with him.
- GIRL: Get back here. - He's a waster, that fella.
The sooner you get rid of him, the better.
I don't want to get rid of him, Ma.
Besides, where are you going to live?
Not here. We're bursting.
We've put our names down for a house.
Maybe we'll get Auntie Maureen's.
Christ on a bike! Can we bury her first?
Where the hell are you going?
- FRANK: Out. - EILEEN: You are on your arse.
- I'm going to the pub. - No, you're bloody-well not.
You're minding them kids for once.
I'm going to the charity show.
Sure, why do you want to win a trip to bleeding Lourdes?
I'm going out.
One of these days you'll come home,
and I won't be shagging-well here.
Promises, promises.
- [DOOR OPENING, CLOSING] - You're minding them kids.
- I'm not minding them. - Oh, yeah, you are.
Now, stop your whinging and do my hair.

Absolutely brilliant, ladies.
- Well done. Enjoy your night. - Thank you.
Yes, yeah, thank you.
That was great, honestly. We'll win. I know it.
I don't believe it.
Mother of God.
Who is it?
Auntie Maureen's daughter.
- Mrs. Aherne had a daughter? - EILEEN: Yeah.
Risen from the dead.
I wouldn't have recognized you.
Okay, 40 years will do that to you.
It'll do a lot of things to you.
Well, I'm sorry for your loss.
Eileen, hi.
Mm.
Oh, you remember me. I was-- I was sure you wouldn't.
- Yeah, who forgets family? - Yeah, who does that?
I'm Dolly Hennessey, one of the neighbors.
Very sorry for your loss. Your Ma was a great neighbor.
Thank you.
It's very nice to meet you, Dolly.
- You were very good up there. - Thank you. [GIGGLES]
How much were the flowers? I want to pay you back.
I bought them for your mother.
She didn't think you'd be here.
Why would she think that?
Have you ever come back in 40 years?
For the flowers.
I don't need that.
It was an honor. Your mother was a saint.
Well now, who'd have thunk it?
Maureen's daughter, and coming all this way.
And only a little bit late.
Yes, but it's great to have her back.
Marvelous, absolutely bloody marvelous.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING IN DISTANCE]
EILEEN: We all thought she was dead.
DOLLY: She kept her figure all the same though, didn't she?
I didn't notice a ring. Did you?
Who'd have her, Lily?
She's sour milk, that one.
I can't believe you's are badmouthing her
and her mother only dead.
She never cared about her mother, Dolly.
Coming back 40 years later when the poor woman's gone.
She was a friend.
Eileen, Eileen was everything for Chrissie.
Being an only child,
Eileen looked out for her, protected her.
They were cousins and best friends.
You never mentioned this before.
Eileen, Chrissie and my Declan,
you couldn't put a couple of cigarette paper between them.
- But why did she go to America? - [WHISPERS] She had to leave.

Dolly, Peter wants you to have the tickets...
- so Daniel can go to Lourdes. - So, he can learn to talk.
DOLLY: Thank you, Peter. [CHUCKLES]
Oh, oh. My heart.
- What a boy you are. - [CHUCKLES]
DOLLY: That is so good of him.
- Daniel. - You're going to Lourdes.
We're going to Lourdes. [CHUCKLES]

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
"Look, God's dwelling place is now amongst the people,
and he will dwell with them.
They will be his people
and God himself will be with them and be their God.
He will wipe every tear from their eyes.
There will be no more death or mourning
or crying or pain...
for the old order of things has passed away."
[♪]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Is Mrs. Fox going to Lourdes to grow her leg back?
No, my love.
Her leg is not going to grow back.
She's going to help Dolly and Daniel.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Wonderful service, Father.
It came to me all of a sudden, Maureen's ticket to Lourdes,
it's terrible for it to go to waste.
I have this lump on my breast.
I see. And have you been to the doctor with it?
Oh, no.
I want to go to Lourdes.
Since poor Maureen is gone,
she'd want her ticket put to good use.
I'll see what I can do.
Bless you, Father.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Your Ma asked me to give you this in case you came home.
MAUREEN: "Dear Chrissie, if you are reading this,
it means you came for my funeral,
so thank you for that.
I remember you saying when you left
that you'd only come back when I was dead.
Welcome home.
I don't know the pain and the joy that you've known.
I guess I don't really know you at all,
not the you that is reading this today.
But you're here, and that tells me everything.
I've been saving for a very long time
to come and see you in America. I always wanted to see Boston.
We are more alike than you think.
We both carry our pain too proudly.
I know you have no love for Lily Fox or Eileen.
I don't blame you for that, but it's a heavy load to carry.
I've left something for you
in the top drawer of my dressing table.
I'm sorry for what I said. I'm sorry for what I did.
The last words you hear from a mother
shouldn't be angry ones.
I love you, Chrissie, with all my heart.
God bless."
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR] - Hello, hello?
How are you, Chrissie?
My mother is dead,
I'm in a place I swore I would never come back to,
everyone is happy as ever to see me,
so overall, I'd say, yeah, mixed.
You seem a little cross, maybe.
You think?
- From my mother. - Thank you.
Put it to good use. Just do not give it to the nuns.
This is your mother's voucher for Lourdes.
Give it to someone who needs it. I don't need a cure.
Not everyone goes to Lourdes for a cure.
No?
What was she looking for, then?
Reconciliation.
[♪]
I think she'd like you to go in her place.
Take the voucher.
I don't need it.
[DOOR OPENING, CLOSING]
Chrissie wanted you to have it.
You didn't tell her about my lump, did you?
No, no, no, no, no. Strictly between ourselves.
Congratulations. You're coming to Lourdes.
[EXHALES IN RELIEF]
[EILEEN] It's a service of gratitude
to God and Our Lady.
Service of gratitude to my bleeding arse.
It's one big gimmick to squeeze my money out of me.
Do you not know the "Song of Bernadette"?
FRANK: No.
- How does it go again? - It's not a song, it's a film.
It's about St Bernadette
and how she saw the Blessed Virgin at Lourdes.
You're not going to no bleeding Lourdes.
I have to go, Frank, please.
You got something all of a sudden?
Course not.
You're not going on any holiday in the French Riviera
with Father Too Good-looking for his own bleeding good.
You think I can't see what's going on?
I'll be helping Dolly and Daniel and the other poor unfortunates.
[SCOFFS] Unfortunate, that's a good one.
What about me? I'm the unfortunate one.
Who's going to have to do the cooking and the cleaning
and minding the children?
Not me, I can tell you. That's your job.
Will you go and sell that ticket?
I'm not selling it.
Sell it! Sell it to some poor unfortunate.
[♪]
- Joe, how are you? - JOE: Good morning, Father.
There's nobody here yet but they'll be along anon.
Right, I better go in and get my bag.
You can't go. I won't allow it.
- I'm going. - What'll I do on me own?
I'll be back before you know it.
Now, will you stop making me feel bad?
- What if something happens? - Go back to bed, Tommy.
You'll be safe there.
[BLOWS KISS]
Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy, will you tell Mr. Dunne
we've got a leak. Would he call over right away?
- Yes, Mrs. Fox. - LILY: Good lad.
I didn't see a leak.
Well, it's all wet in the bathroom.
- Just a mo. - [♪]
[WATER FLUSHES]
I think it's the lav.
I've got to hurry, I've got to hurry.
I'm going to Tom and Lily's house.
They have a leak.
- Oh, I hope it's not too bad. - [DOOR CLOSES]
[GRUNTS SOFTLY]
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR] - FRANK: Tommy?
Don't burn your father's sausages,
whatever you do.
And remember Patrick's asthma medicine.
And look, if you still want to marry your sweetie pie
after you've cooked and cleaned and scrubbed for a week
while he sits in the pub and talks shite with the lads,
who am I to stand in the way of true love?
- Do you mean that, Ma? - [SIGHS]
Now, be good to them.
- [KISSES] - What are you doing?
Kissing you goodbye.
It's not like I'm going down to the shops.
I'm going abroad. To France.
To France?
I thought you were going to Lourdes.
- But you are coming back, Ma? - Maybe, maybe not.
[LAUGHS, PANTS]
FATHER DERMOT: Eileen, you made it. Show me that bag.
- I'll put it in the back. - [PANTS] Thank you, Father.
[GROANS]
- Hello, hello. - LILY: Come and sit down.
- [EXHALES] - You are here.
- Where's Dolly? - I don't know.
She should be here, surely.
[♪]
Sorry, son, you're going nowhere.
Jesus, Dolly, don't start.
What's that?
- We're going to Lourdes. - You are, me bollocks.
Ruth in Number 45
said she'd mind Rosie while you're at work.
Dolly. Dolly!
If you go out that door,
don't bleeding bother coming back.
[♪]
Oh, oh, no!
Father, no, we can't go, we can't go.
- We can't. Dolly is not here. - We can't wait any longer
otherwise we won't make it to the ferry.
- Fire ahead there, Joe. - EILEEN: A catastrophe!
On, no, I can't believe it.
Wait, wait, wait!
- Wait a minute. - There they are.
- Stop, stop! - She has to sit here.
- Thank God, they're here. - Oh, my God. [EXHALES]
LILY: My dear girl, where were you?
FATHER DERMOT: The skin of your teeth, Dolly.
Oh, yeah, as yours.
- Oh, come on in. - Daniel, come along.
Hello, Father.
[LAUGHS, SIGHS]
- There we go. - Thank you.
- Oh! - You can go ahead now.
- [DOLLY LAUGHS] - EILEEN: Thank you.
- [BRAKES SQUEAL] - [SHRIEKS]
- Holy Mary, Mother of God. - I don't shagging believe it.
Welcome, Chrissie. There's a place here
if you don't mind sitting alongside me.
Excuse me.
[GRUNTS SOFTLY]
To Lourdes, driver.

[SIGHS]
[CHRISSIE WHISPERS] Hi.
What's your name?
- Daniel. - [CHRISSIE WHISPERS] Wow.
Hi, Daniel. I'm Chrissie.
He doesn't talk yet.
My Ma says he'll talk when he's something to say.
Isn't that right, Daniel?
[WHISPERS] Very sensible.
- [♪] - [BIRDS CHIRPING]
DOLLY: Look, Daniel.
Daniel, look, there's the Basilica.

[PEOPLE SPEAKING IN FRENCH]
- Welcome to Lourdes. - Oh.
Oh, Father, I can't believe it.
We're here, we're really here. [SIGHS]
- Ah! - Bonjour.
[GASPS] I've always wanted a bellboy to carry my bags.
Isn't it gorgeous? Hotel de Bernadette.
[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]
Chrissie, I have you in room number eight.
- Hm. - See you later.
You, number 14.
Please, this way.
Isn't this lovely?
Don't you get talking to that one at all, Dolly.
Who? Chrissie?
EILEEN: What the hell is she doing here?
I think she just wanted a break
with her Ma passing and all that.
I'll tell you what she's up to.
What?
Father Dermot, that's what she's after.
It appears I am sharing with you.
[DOOR CLOSES]
And look, the Basilica. Isn't it beautiful?
Is there only one bed?
Your Ma wouldn't have fussed.
Well... [LAUGHS] I am not my mother.
Ain't that the truth.
What does that mean?
Show some respect, Chrissie.
This is a holy place.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Father's taking us to the grotto,
and he's booked the baths for tomorrow.
See you downstairs, Lil.
Right.
Whatever the reason you came,
it wasn't to sit in a hotel room.
DOLLY: I wasn't expecting all this.
All what?
- Selling. - Selling.
Yeah.
You'd think it was Liberty Market back in Dublin.
I suppose.
I thought our Lord hated all that
when he chased them out of the temple.
Hard to believe though, isn't it?
Her coming after having Jesus to coming here to Lourdes?
And France, like.
I mean...
Why did she suddenly show up after all these years?
I'm asking myself the same thing.
[♪]
What you got there, Daniel?
DOLLY: Look!
Ah. It's so pretty.
I'll treat you, Daniel. Not a word to Frank, you hear?
And I'll have 12 of them miraculous medals.
DOLLY: Let's go and have a look at those rosary beads.
We could get one for Grandma.
[SALESMAN SPEAKING FRENCH]
[♪]
LILY: Mother of God!
I can't believe it.
Our Blessed Lady in Heaven.
EILEEN: There's where she appeared,
right there on that spot.
When you think of all she went through...
watching her poor son...
crucified.
She's picked a good place to stand, all the same.
- What? - So, we could all see her.
Oh.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Do you believe she really came here?
The Virgin Mary picked this spot and that girl?
Yes, yes, I do.
Whether she did or not, is unimportant.
You might want to keep that to yourself.
Wonder what that one came here for.
Well, maybe our Lady brought her.
I think she's nice. So is her clothes.
- [♪] - [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Would you stop staring?
People hate to be stared at.
Look, isn't it beautiful?
See, that's where all the crutches used to hang
from all the miracles.
We'll find a miracle for you, Daniel.
Daniel, Lily's talking to you.
It's all right, love, never mind.
God, imagine though.
What?
If we seen one happening right in front of our eyes,
a miracle like.
I think I'd die if I seen people get up,
throw their crutches away and walk.
But it might not be crutches, Eileen.
Other things get cured, too.
Tumors and things you can't see.
EILEEN: Now, that's right.
How do we know there wasn't hundreds of them cures?
Sure, look at Lily over there.
What about Lily over there?
Well, you don't need a crutch.
Excuse me?
EILEEN: For your leg. You don't need a crutch to walk,
so if you got a cure now
you wouldn't have a crutch to put up on the wall.
I didn't come here looking for my leg to grow longer,
for God's sake.
I wouldn't know what to do with myself.
In fact, I'd probably lose my balance.
[BOTH LAUGH]
- [♪] - FRANK: Jesus!
[GRUNTS]
How in the name of Jesus am I supposed to do this?
Do what your wife does every day.
- What's that? - Give us your hand.
FRANK: Oh. Hmm.
Did your poor wife pass away on you?
What? Jesus, no.
- She's in Lourdes. - Lourdes?
Well, there's a miracle for her now.
You, shopping.
Best of luck to you. [LAUGHS]
- FRANK: Oh. - Jesus, poor Ma.
Don't know why she hasn't left you already.
On, sorry, I forgot. She has left you.
What?

Is she not coming back?
Well, ask yourself, Da, why would she?

I was pregnant. We were so happy.
We were so-- How was I going to ruin his life?
I thought you were trying to trap him.
He was my son, my only son.
I wanted him to have a better life than I had.
We would have.

How did you convince her to shut me out?

- [SHOUTS IN FRENCH] - ...in the miraculous water.
- [♪] - [SPEAKING FRENCH]
- That's the man! - [CROWD CLAMOUR]
It's a miracle. He's after walking.
It is a miracle.
- [SPEAKS IN FRENCH] - Get him in, get him in quick.
- Her Lady is here. - DOLLY: Oh, come on Daniel.
We're only here five minutes and there's one already.
Get Daniel in.
- I touched him, I touched him. - [FRANTIC CHATTER]
EILEEN: Get him in the same bath.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[WATER SPLASHING]
SISTER: Tres bien, come on down.
DOLLY: Come on.
Come down.
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
[NUNS CHANTING IN FRENCH]
[EILEEN BREATHES SHAKILY, SCREAMS]
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
[GASPS]
It's nice.
Come on, Daniel, please.
I'm serious now, come on.
Jesus! [GASPS]
Jes-- [SCREAMS]
- Daniel. - EILEEN: Jesus!
- [GASPS] - [EILEEN SCREAMS]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
We're ready.
I'm not.
I believe you had a miracle today.
The poor crippled man who ran out.
Ah, no, false alarm. Every day we have one.
- Really? - Every day.
But only the men. Always the men.
You know what men are like.
But the real miracles like, how many a day would you get?
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER] - [BIRDS CHIRPING]
You're all right, Daniel?
[PANTS]
- DOLLY: Daniel! - [GASPS]
Daniel, did you say something?
Say it again. Come on, come on.
- CHRISSIE: Dolly... - You can do it. I'm listening.
- ...just give him a minute. - Say, Ma.
- Ma. Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma. - Dolly.
We should try again, maybe.
Oh, he only touched the water.
If we could get him all the way in.
CHRISSIE: Dolly, just... just look at him.
Let him tell you what he's trying to say.
[♪]
[CRIES] I'm so sorry, my love.
So, sorry.
- I'm a terrible mother. - Oh. [SCOFFS, CHUCKLES]
Stop it. Dolly, it's just not true.
[SNIFFLES]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- Well, that's that then. - What?
Guess how many miracles there is after being.
- How many? What? - Sixty-two.
- That's very good in one day.
Not in a day.
Well, in a week, that's still very good.
Not in a week...
since she first appeared in 1858.
1858?
Oh, it couldn't be.
I have to tell you, I'm very disappointed, Lily.
Frank was right. It's all a bloody gimmick.
[♪]
FRANK: Oh, that looks lovely.
Lovely bit of stew.
There you go. Now, uh...
want a bit more?
No, it's really good for you, you know.
Oh, boy. Uh, eat.
I said eat.
Mm-hmm.
Well?
- It's good. - Mm-hm.
[CHUCKLES] It's hardly burnt at all.
[KIDS LAUGH]
Excuse me, you always expect a certain amount of burn
with the stew.
- Ugh, I can't eat it. - [KIDS LAUGH]
- That was a bit curt. - [KIDS LAUGHING]
A little abrupt.
Come on, eat up.
[CHUCKLES] I didn't know you had it in you, Da.
- Hm. - FRANK: I... I don't.
I... I made it up as I went along.
[KIDS LAUGHING]
It's not as good as Ma's, anyway.
Well, nothing is as good as Ma's, you know.

You can't sing that song here.
Do you not like it, Father?
[♪]
Were you never a child? We used to skip to it.
You're in Lourdes now, Eileen.
Don't you dare lecture me, laddie.
Dragging people halfway around the world,
only to disappoint them when there is no miracles.
It's a con. It's a sham. You're a conman.
Come on, its bedtime, Eileen. Come on.
Palling around with Chrissie Aherne.
If you ladies forgive me, I'll... I'll... I'll...
I can't believe you's, Eileen,
carrying on like a corner boy in Lourdes. [SOBS]
I'm sorry. Sorry, Lily.
- [CRIES] Lily, I'm sorry. - Oh, it's all right.
It's all right.
- Come on, we'll go to bed. - [WHISPERS] I am sorry, Lily.
I just want to go home and be with my kids.
Come on, now.
Apologies, Father.
Why did you leave and never come back?
Leave?
I was banished, Eileen.
You were there. You remember.
And who told them about the pregnancy?
You were my best friend.
You were the only one I told.
Why didn't you give the baby to the nuns as you was told?
- Come on, Eileen. Come on. - EILEEN: Don't start with me...
Pretending all these years it was an accident.
It was the guilt that killed Declan.
You killed him with the guilt.
- LILY: Apologies, Father. - It's okay.
Poor woman.
Her condition at present though, it's hardly surprising.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
[SOBS] I just can't live with what I've done.
Dolly.
- Dolly, just breathe. - [SOBS]
- Here. Come, come sit. - [DOLLY SOBS]
[SNIFFLES]
I have to make a confession.
I'll get Father Dermot.
Oh, I don't think he'll come after all that.
Well, I have to confess me sin.
What sin, Dolly?
I ruined him.
What did you do?
Did you smack him, Dolly? We all do that.
- You get overwhelmed. - [EXHALES DEEPLY]
No.
The trauma in the womb...
what I done on him.
What did you do?
I tried to miscarry him.
[EILEEN SIGHS]
Oh, that's old wives' tales, Dolly.
None of them work.
Between ourselves, I threw myself down the stairs
more times than I had hot dinners.
[SCOFFS]
Thank God, they came out the same way.
What one did you do, Dolly?
[HESITATES]
I can't.
LILY: Oh, it's best you get it off your chest.
You'll see yourself, it's probably nothing.
Now, how... how... how did you try?
- [SOBS] - Just leave her alone.
- She doesn't wanna say. - But I want to tell.
- I have to confess. - No. No, you don't have to.
Guilt is killing her, isn't it, Dolly?
See?
Go on, Dolly, love.
- I filled the bath with water. - Dolly, don't tell them.
You can tell us, Dolly.
You filled the bath up and then what happened?
It was freezing, just like today...
and then I got the whisky.
Whisky?
Five bottles.
Five bottles?
You could have killed yourself drinking five bottles of whisky.
I didn't drink them.
What did you do with them then?
I poured them in the bath.
- [GASPS] - What did you do that for?
[SOBS] You know why. I sat in it to make it pass.
That's how I know I done it to him.
You didn't do anything, Dolly.
Sure, I mean...
he's perfect, Daniel.
You didn't do anything, Dolly.
It has to be boiling water.
[SIGHS] How do you know, Chrissie?
Because when I made it to Boston...
my landlady...
she knew.
She knew I was sick every day.
I think she was used to girls like me.
She told me I couldn't stay...
and she gave me a name and an address.
So, I went just a few blocks away...
and this woman...
she gave me pills.
She gave me something to drink.
[CRIES SOFTLY] She did what she had to do
and then...
she put me in a bathtub.
The water has to be boiling.
DOLLY: Oh.
Chrissie.
[SOBS]
Oh, thank you.
[BREATHES SOFTLY]
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
Chrissie?
- CHRISSIE: Hmm? - [BREATHES DEEPLY]
Would you take me to the baths in the morning?
Would you?
- [WATER RIPPLING] - [BIRDS CHIRPING]
[CHURCH BELL TOLLING IN DISTANCE]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
LILY: Eileen was only doing what she thought
was best for you, same as your Ma and me.
Declan...
told us you were... [BREATHES DEEPLY]
...you were leaving.
He...
God, he loved you, Chrissie.
He wanted to marry you...
have the baby with you.
I should never have meddled.
It's because... it's because of me...
- he's dead. - Oh, Lily.
- [BREATHES DEEPLY] - [LILY SOBS] Oh, no.
We lied to him.
Yeah, we were ashamed.
We lied.
I lied.
I told him...
you were going to America to find a better life...
and that you'd done with him.
And it destroyed him.
I destroyed him as sure as I gave him life.
[♪]
LILY: Now, I'm old, Chrissie.
I'll be dying...
soon enough.
If it's a cold as... [SOBS]
...Eileen says it is, it'll be very s... soon.
[SOBS] But I... I couldn't go...
SISTER: We're ready for you now, my darling.
...without trying to tell you what...

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
LILY: Thank you.
[GRUNTS SOFTLY] Oh.
Oh, Jesus.
I was hoping she might come to me.
- Who? The Virgin Mary? - LILY: No.
No, your mother, Maureen.
I was hoping she might...
tell me what to expect, you know, when I...
when I got up there.
If I get there, I don't suppose I deserve that.
I mean, I...
I haven't believed, you know?
Not properly, not since, Declan, you know?
But I... I... I didn't have the heart
to say that to your mother.
No.
Well...
you wouldn't have wanted to take that away from her.
She loved it. [CHUCKLES]
All the hocus pocus.
Well, there's always hope, isn't there?
Um, even... even when you don't completely believe.
Peace...
that's what I hope for.
Peace.
I'm glad you came home, Chrissie.
Your mother would have been so proud.
I've... I've no right to ask you this, but...
can you ever forgive me?
Thank you.
[KISSES] Thank you, Chrissie.
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER] - [BIRDS CHIRPING]
I'm sorry about last night, Father.
I don't take it back.
You're, uh, what do you call it...
I gather the baths didn't help.
You don't come to Lourdes for a miracle, Eileen.
You come for the strength
to go on when there is no miracle.
Hmm.
[GRUNTS, BREATHES HEAVILY]
[CHURCH BELL TOLLING IN DISTANCE]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
I loved you.
I loved you and you left.
So, I hated you.
I didn't mean to...
but I did.
But I never hated you...
more than I loved you.
[TOURISTS LAUGHING]
And that is what God's punishing me for.
- The hate. - Punishing you?
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
I have a lump...
in my breast.
Here.
- There'll be no miracle for me. - What does the doctor say?
Have you been to a doctor?
Why can't people like us have miracles?
Why can't I have a miracle?
I go to Mass.
- I come to Lourdes. - We'll go together...
to the doctor. We'll find you the best one.
I'll go with you.
- Does it hurt? - Yeah. [SNIFFLES]
- And that's bad, isn't it? - No. That's... that's hopeful.
Are you losing weight?
Does it look like I've lost weight?
- You cow. - [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

- That is a very, very good sign. - [SCOFFS]
