You think so?
You don't even know
how to use that thing.
Nobody will believe a hooker!
Because there is
only one thing for us,...
...sinners that we are,...
...to achieve perfection
in the eyes of God...
...through unconditional love...
...for the word that is written,...
...through unconditional love
for the law.
I don't understand
what you're saying.
How can you love a word?
Love words.
You cannot be
in love with a word.
You can love
another human being.
That's perfection.
Bess McNeill,
the kirk session...
...has decided this day
that henceforth,...
...you shall no longer
have access to this kirk.
They who know you
shall not know you.
Please, let me stay!
Please!
Begone, Bess McNeill,
from the house of God.
Hello, Bess.
You're...you're coming with us.
We're going to Glasgow.
Bess, they're
going to take you...
...back into hospital
just for a little bit.
It's for your own good.
I want to see Jan.
I want to see my husband.
I know, but not now, Bess.
It's for your own good, Bess.
Mother can't have me admitted.
Not now that I'm married.
Bess, it wasn't mother
that signed the paper.
It was Jan.
You liar!
Come along, Bess.
Jan!
Jan!
Dodo, how can you do this?
You had a husband, too, once.
Your love could have saved him,
if only you'd tried!
Jan!
Jan!
Ok, Bess. let's go.
Oh, f***!
Ryan, she's not here!
Hello.
Who's a tart?
What are you doing?
Who's a tart?
Who's a tart?
Tart! Tart!
I can't open the door.
Mother?
Please. Please, mother,
open the door!
Please, open the door!
Mother!
I'll be good.
I'll be really, really good.
I'll be really good.
Oh, please, open.
Please go away.
Stop it! Go away.
You just go away
and leave me!
Who's a tart?
Away with you.
Stop all this racket
outside the house of God.
Come on! On you go.
What's happened?
Bess.
Bess!
Bess, are you all right, love?
Bess, it's Dodo.
Oh, Bessie.
Jan is dying.
I...I wasn't to tell you.
I wasn't to tell you.
No. It's good you told me.
I know you love me.
I have to go.
Is there anything
I can do for you?
Anything at all?
Yes.
I'd like you to go to Jan...
...to be curedr him
and to rise from his bed
and walk.
Will you take me
to the big ship?
Again?
Are you sure?
Father, why aren't
you with me?
I am with you, Bess.
What do you want from me?
Where were you?
Oh, don't you think
I have other people...
...who want to talk to me?
Well, of course.
I hadn't thought of that.
There's this silly
to talk to her,...
...so my work's been
piling up a bit.
But you're with me now?
Of course I am, Bess.
you know that.
Thank you.
Um, I'm sorry.
Do you need me?
No. That's all right.
Stay there.
Bess asked me to pray.
For what?
For Jan's life.
For a miracle.
Yeah. That would be a miracle.
Dear God,
I pray that Jan gets better,
That he rises
from his bed and walks.
Sister McNeill here.
We'll make you better.
Where's Jan?
I'd like to see him.
No. Not now, love.
You're going to have
an operation now.
I want to see him.
Not now, love.
You need an operation.
No. I've got to see Jan.
Please, Dodo.
All right.
All right. Stop.
She wants to see Jan.
I'm going to take her to see Jan.
Come on. Out of the way,
for God's sake.
Help me. Come on.
Move, for Christ's sake!
All right. All right.
There you go.
There you are.
You can see him now,
can't you?
How is he...
How's he doing?
Is he not any better?
No. No, he's not.
Oh. I thought he
might be better now.
Hmm.
Maybe I was wrong
after all.
Ok, let's get inside.
Here. Take those.
Tape.
Ok, take care. Let's go.
1, 2, 3.
There we go.
It's all right, love.
Now, Bess,
do you know me?
Yeah.
Pulse 90.
What happened?
Do you know?
No.
Pressure on 100.
Get the blood pressure.
It will be all right, love.
It will be all right.
Can I have a look at her back?
There we go.
Ok. Hand me the scissors.
Yes.
All right.
Mother.
Oh, mother.
Here she is.
Bessie.
Bess.
I'm sorry that I
could not be good, mother.
That's all right, Bessie.
Your grandfather's
sorry he couldn't come.
Will you tell him
that I love him?
I am glad that you
came, mother.
Blood pressure.
It will be all right.
It's going down.
2 units now.
2 units immediately.
2 units.
Ok, we're just going
to lower you down
a little bit now,
all right, Bess?
There we go.
That was easy, wasn't it?
Going to be all right.
Oh. Oh.
Dodo, hold me.
Here I am. I'm holding.
It's all right, love.
I'm here. I'm here.
I'm afraid.
I know. I know.
Jan?
Jan!
Shh. Now, shh.
I'm frightened.
It's...
It's all wrong.
No pulse.
Bess?
Stand clear.
Stand clear!
Clear. Clear.
What?
It's going to be all right.
That's a good girl.
Come on.
Ok. You can stop now.
What? What?
What do you mean?
She's gone, Dodo.
She's gone.
No.
She's gone.
Bess. Bess.
listen to me.
I'm sorry.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Dodo.
No!
Come on, Dodo.
let's go!
Come on.
I'm sorry!
It's a little bit funny...
...this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can...
...easily hide
Don't have much money...
...but, boy, if I did
I'd buy a big house where...
...we both could live
if I was a sculptor...
...but then again no
Or a man who makes potions in the...
...traveling show
I know it's not much...
...but it's the best
I can do
My gift is my song, and...
...this one's for you
And you can tell everybody...
...this is your song
it may be quite simple, but...
...now that it's done...
"an immature, unstable person,...
...a person who, due to the
trauma of her husband's illness,...
...gave way
in obsessive fashion...
...to an exaggerated,
perverse form of sexuality."
Would you like to clarify
that to the inquiry?
That's what I wrote.
Yes. That's what it says.
Can I have a glass
of water, please?
Get Dr. Richardson
a glass of water.
Thank you.
Listen, man, you had
the deceased in your care.
to hear the medical facts.
If...If you'd, um,
if you were to ask me again...
...to write... um...
the conclusion, then...
...instead of writing
"neurotic"...
...or, um, "psychotic,"
then I might...
...just, um,
use a word like...
"Good."
Good?
Yes.
You wish the records of this court...
...to state that
in your medical opinion,...
...the deceased was suffering
from being "good"?
Perhaps this was
the psychological defect...
...that led to her death.
Is that what we shall
write, Dr. Richardson?
No.
Of course not.
Very well, then.
Perhaps we should stick to your
original statement then, doctor.
Yes.
I think that everything
there is to say...
...about Bess McNeill
has been said already.
We have agreed
to sanction her burial,...
...but there can be
no funeral service.
The fact that some of us
knew the deceased girl well...
...cannot be allowed to
influence the form of her burial.
