Sure now, you'll
have to get back
And give the boys a
chance to get through here.
Come on, now! This is a
great day for old Ireland.
Hooray!
Friends...
Many of you brought away
with you a handful of Irish sod,
To keep green
your memories of home.
But you needn't have.
You didn't leave
Ireland behind you.
It's in your hearts...
Wherever you go.
That's what these two months
That wherever
you find an Irishman,
You also find
the generosity...
And the loyalty...
And the passion
for freedom
Which is the soul
of Ireland herself.
Give Ireland
back to the Irish!
Get home rule
for Ireland!
That's what we're going
to do, in time,
And the day is nearer
than some think.
And now I must
go back to Ireland.
for all you've done.
But Ill just say...
And I know you'll
say it with me...
God save Ireland.
Good-Bye,
Parnell!
Go home
and save Ireland!
In two minutes, we'll be
shaking hands with him again.
I doubt if any man's
return has ever
Been so waited
for... or needed.
Its a dangerous thing when one man
Is as important
as all that.
Not when that
man's Parnell.
Here he comes
now, sir.
I'd be ticklish to arrest
Parnell here in all this crowd.
Ticklish? Dangerous,
if I may say so, sir.
We better make
the arrest on the road.
Hop in.
Oh!
Mr. Parnell!
Glory be!
bringing you back to us!
That's a grand welcome
he's getting.
Yes, he certainly seems
popular with the rabble.
Come along, and
Ill introduce you.
No, not here.
Why not?
There's such a thing as a
psychological moment, general,
And this isn't it.
When I meet him, I don't
want to be in competition
With a crowd of
unwashed hooligans.
Did you see me
cousin Patrick?
Is it true
that you can pick up gold
Off the streets
of new york city
Like you can shamrocks on the roadside
Here in Ireland?
There's gold and love
And help for Ireland
in new york city...
Or wherever
you find an Irishman.
There he goes.
Follow him.
Watch your feet.
Oh, it's good to be
home again, Michael.
We've needed you.
Are things as bad here
as you wrote me?
Oh, worse.
You're bound to see
it as we go along.
Evictions, outrages,
house burnings.
It all began again
the minute you left.
You're the only one
who could do anything,
With the English
or the Irish.
Look.
Is it the rent?
Are you the sheriff?
Yes, your honor.
What do these
people owe?
8 pound.
I'll pay it.
Too late
for that, sir.
The landlord wants
them evicted.
Who is the landlord?
Pat Hogan.
Where is he?
Here he comes
now, sir.
Are you pat Hogan?
What's that to you?
You're landlord
here.
I'll pay these
people's rent.
You'll not!
Why not?
I'd sooner let
the land for grazing.
That's what
Im going to do.
And leave them
homeless?
I'm within me rights.
Me rights by law.
Mr. Parnell?
Yes.
I'm sorry, sir,
but I...
I have a warrant
for your arrest.
What's that? You can't arrest him!
I'm terribly sorry
I have to do this.
That's
all right.
Now, what's it
for this time?
Seditious
utterances.
Well, Ive made
several utterances
That might be called
"seditious."
Now, where are you
taking me?
Kilmainham jail,
If it's all the same
to you, sir.
All right.
I'll go with you
in just a minute.
It's not much
you're losing here.
This is where me
father was born...
And lived and died...
And me father's
father before him.
It's all we have
or ever have had.
It's all we know.
There's
no place else.
Oh, yes,
there is.
Campbell.
Yes, sir.
Will you stay behind
and see that these people
Are sent up to
my place, Avondale?
Yes, sir.
Put them on the train
and telegraph my steward
To have a cottage
ready for them.
Very well, sir.
So that's
the king of Ireland.
The uncrowned king.
He'll get
his crown...
In heaven.
Morning, gentlemen.
Good morning. Good morning to you.
How's the
work coming? Oh, grand.
I've got all those
reports you wanted.
Oh, you've
been quick.
And why
shouldn't he be,
With nothing
to disturb him?
It's a grand scheme,
us working here.
Take a look at these
election leaflets.
They just came back
from the printers.
Yes, they're
all right.
Oh, uh,
Mr. Parnell.
Do you
remember me, sir?
Yes, I do indeed.
The OGorman Mahon,
isn't that right?
The old boy
himself, sir.
I hope you'll pardon us
for intruding on you
In your hour
of trouble.
There's no trouble,
I assure you.
We're having
a splendid time.
Ireland's affairs have
never been run better.
Well, I wanted to
take this opportunity
To present to you me friend
captain William O'shea.
How do you do,
captain Oshea?
How do you do?
A fine man, sir,
And the new candidate with
meself for county Clare.
I took it upon meself
to sponsor him
While you were
in America.
I take this as
an auspicious omen
For my political
career,
To meet the Irish leader at its outset.
I have no fears as to the
result of the election now.
Well, may I wish you
a speedy release.
Thank you,
captain Oshea,
And good luck
in county Clare.
And now, though you
may not believe it,
The pressure of
business is very great,
So if you'll
excuse me.
Why, certainly.
Michael, what about
this man, Oshea?
I don't know
much about him.
But you don't like him.
There's not a man in
Why is the OGorman
backing him?
I think Oshea
is putting up
The election money for both of you.
Oh... I see.
All right, Campbell.
Let's get to work.
Yes, sir.
Take a letter to...
sir Charles Russell.
Yes? Excuse me, sir.
Uh, Mr. Parnell,
sir,
getting awful troublesome.
You wouldn't like to
say a word to them now,
Just to quiet
them, would you?
It'd be a great relief
to me if you would.
Yes, of course.
I'll open the
window for you.
My friends, this demonstration
is very flattering,
But for the sake of the
authorities in charge here,
I must ask you
not to do it.
We'll
get you out!
We'll get you out if we
have to tear the jail down!
No, no, no.
You mustn't
do that either.
Just go about your business
And as if nothing
had happened.
The election is
only 3 days off.
Do your duty
at the polls.
And remember this:
The cause of Irish
freedom will be pursued
As fervently
from this jail
As it would be from
my office in Westminster.
Your friends and leaders
are here with me.
We're working for
a parliament in Dublin.
Meantime, we're holding a
preliminary one here in Kilmainham.
So that's
the great Parnell.
And that's what I came all
this way to Ireland for:
3 words
and a handshake.
Now, you mustn't be discouraged,
me boy. You can't afford it.
There's nobody else
can do for you
What he can
in Irish politics.
I know.
Oh, don't worry.
I'll make friends
with him.
Well, it's not going
to be easy.
As soon as he gets out
