live perfectly normal lives.

Weight gain is a possibility but a

healthy diet and excersize can combat that.

I'll monitor the dose of Andrial,

and we can up the dose if needed,

but in the meantime..

Try joining a Gym.

And follow a healthy diet, huh?

There is an operation

that might help.

It's basically a cosmetic procedure

where you would have a prostethic implant..

.. inserted into the testicular sack.

Yes, I'd like that.

I'll set it up. It's a very simple

operation done under local anastethics,

No need to spend the night.

Thank you.

I'm also going to

refer you to a psychiatrist

Dr. Kuzak.

Make an appointment as

soon as possible.

This place could do

with a bit more light.

You've got no food?

- I'm not hungry.

You have to eat.

Geez Michelle,

I know you want to help but..

..I'd rather be alone

Okay.

Michelle?

That night.. Did you feel

something between us?

Yeah.

I still do.

So Ian, have we reached a new

low in violence in our Irish streets?

It's very easy to fall

into the tabloid..

..Hysteria about things, but sometimes

it's right to be weary about just walking down the street.

..but there's a grotesk malevolence

that we witness on the streets now

.. where we actually see people

engaging in recreational violence

Do you think we're becoming

a more brutal society?

We have become a

more brutal society

.. And we are become a more

brutal society again, on top of that.

And the acceleration of that is almost exponential.

People are sick and

tired of feeling affected

and people don't like feeling affected

and that brings a resentment

and it brings a hostility.

basically ordinary people are closer

to snapping, under less provocation.

than they would have in the past.

We're now reaching a tipping point

..and I'm worried what we're going

to see in this country in the next 5-10 years.

Is it merely as simple as 'we drink too much'?

What part does alcohol play?

Once again, one of the problems

we've had with legalization in the past

Is that people use booze as some

sort of exhonorating.. practice.

And that's not good enough, because

they put themselves in that situation.

They chose to get drunk, and they

chose to let their inhibitions fall to a degree

.. that they become

a menace to society.

So what lengths do you think

you should be allowed to go to defend yourself.

and to protect ourselve in the face of violence?

If somebody breaks into my house, I'll kill him.

It's too heavy for you man.

Are you okay?

- Yeah..

If you want to lift heavier,

give me a shout and I'll spot you.

Please.. Ian..

Just doing my job Paul.. you know..

Yeah but I'm trying

to get my life back.

Jesus Paul..

Are you alright?

No.

Please.

Yeah, of course.

Thanks.

If you need anyt..?

Yeah. Thanks Ian.

Paul, is it?

- Yes.

You can go on in now.

Thank you.

You can go on in,

and just sit over there.

Thank you.

How are you?

Ok.

How do you feel about

what's happened to you, Paul?

I can't forget about it.

It's constantly with me.

Anything sets it off..

Sound.. Light..

...Sudden movement.

Even the look on

someone's face.

It's important to take steps in

your life that will give you a bit of control back.

You might try a support group

for victims of violent assault.

Also you could try self-defence classes.

Some victims find this gives them

a sense of empowerment. Do you understand, Paul?

Yea.

Is there anything you

can do to help yourself?

I'm waiting for plastic surgery.

How will that make you feel?

Normal.

Hi.

- Hi...

Come in..

Sorry for coming un-announced.

I thought I'd get you some food.

How are you?

Alright.

Self defence classes.

An ex of mine runs these.

I can introduce you if you like?

To your ex?

Don't worry, he's one of the good guys.

How many ex's do you have?

That doesn't sound..

I'm sorry.

I'm just trying to help.

- I know.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Hello everybody.

For those of you that don't know me..

My name is Tom Kirren.

Welcome to my class.

Everything is quite relaxed here.

All I do ask is that you treat eachother with respect.

The first thing we're going to do

is demonstrate how to break a fall correctly.

Ok.

So, if you want to pair up

and have a go, that'd be great.

Hiya, I'm Jane.

- Paul

Paul, I'm gonna go first, okay?

Ready?

Yea.

No!

You alright?

Are you alright?

- Yeah..

What's your name?

Paul.

Paul. What happened?

I don't know, something just came over me.

I mean, what happened?

Something bad?

I got attacked.

Well. There's two things we can do.

You can leave now,

and let this thing beat you.

..Or, you can go back on the mat.

Ok.

Back on the mat?

Yeah.

Good man.

Now listen. Forget about this, okay?

Yeah.

I'll show you what to do,

just a gentle push, alright?

Fantastic, well done.

Want to go again?

Yea.

Scalpel please..

Thank you..

Diathermic.

Close please.

Good.

Now, retractor.

And I'm going to create

a small pouch now.

What's the heart rate?

- Sinus rythm at 85.

Good.

I'm glad it's gone so well.

Just a day or two and you will

feel heaps better.

See how you feel, maybe we get get

some groceries on the way home.

Pick up a take-away if you feel like it.

Just give it time.

It'll be okay.

No it's not!

It's what everyone keeps telling me.

I know already this isn't going to help me.

It's not. Okay.

I remember the nurse in the hospital

on the night of the attack telling me it's okay.

You'll be alright.

What can she do?

What can you do? Huh?

Nothing!

Do you think this is easy for me?

Seeing someone I care about hurt so much?

F*** off.

Could you have done it?

- Maybe.

I didn't know I was standing in

that path. I realized I wasn't scared anymore.

Scared of what?

The life I've been living since the attack.

I thought an operation

would make me feel like a man again.

Is that how you define a man?

By his testicles.

No.

I'd give anything to be able

to go back. To be able to react like a man.

That doesn't make a man either Paul.

How the f*** do you know

what it means to be a man?

Would you like to see a

male psychiatrist?

I don't want to see any man.

Wait until you see this

broad from last night.....

Beautiful...

Check out the piss-flaps on that...

Beautiful curves...

What did you do to her?

I wrapped my dick around her neck ..

and choked her to death

F*** her up the ass?

F*** eachother up the ass!

What did you say to me?

You heard me.

Leave it out lads.

He's alright.

Thanks.

You crazy, man?

I'm looking for steroids.

Can you get them?

Hold on.

(Speaks Russian)

I can get you metherol. It's a steroid

that give you aggressive, power. Strong.

Yes.. um.. when?

I can get you now.

Yes?

I want to make a statement.

In connection with?

It's more a statment of intent.

My name is Paul Graynor,

and I will be wearing a knife for my protection.

I just wanted you to know

this, in case I have to use it.

I have to inform you,

that carrying a knife is an offense

under the weapons and firearms act.
