Mrs. Quigley...
Can I see you?
You've decided to honor us
with your presence.
Yes, I know, mother superior.
I haven't been here
much recently,
but I'm sure you understand
I've been very busy.
I confiscated these
in your class.
You're suspended.
Right.
Good morning,
Mrs. Quigley.
Good morning, class.
All right, Mrs. Wheelan,
thank you.
I'll take over now.
Thank you, Mrs. Wheelan.
It's nice to see you.
OK, page 95.
Good morning...
Sit down.
May I talk to you now?
Yes, of course, mother superior.
Get out of my school.
With all due respect,
mother superior,
I suggest that you
call the cardinal
and tell him why
you're suspending me.
I have his number
if you need it.
In the meantime,
I have a class to teach.
Thank you very much,
mother superior.
OK, what page was it?
Page 95.
This man is ready for
the hospital wing.
Don't touch him.
I'll do that.
OK, I'm gonna lift you up, OK?
Uhh!
Come on.
You're OK.
OK, I'm just gonna
get your legs.
OK, I'm gonna lift you up, OK?
1, 2, 3.
Uhh!
Sit back.
OK.
I won't let you down.
Come on.
Come on.
OK, back in the cell.
Stick with it, lads!
Keep going, Bobby!
Stick with it, lads!
Put your mark?
Oh, I did.
You know, I have a terrible
confession to make.
I've never voted
in my life before.
Well, we never had much use
for the ballot box ourselves.
God, Annie, do you
think he could win?
The tension here is electric
as we await the results of the Fermanagh
and South Tyrone by-election,
one of the most bitterly fought
campaigns in northern Ireland history,
where in an unprecedented move,
the prime minister
Margaret Thatcher
called for the electorate to reject
the I.R.A. Prisoner Bobby sands,
now in his 50th day
of a hunger strike.
Mrs. Thatcher threw her
support behind Harold west...
Shh! Shh!
...as polls show the gap closing
between him and the hunger striker.
- Whoo!
- Whoo!
And now, we're going to go live
as the polling officer
approaches the microphone.
West, Harold...
Unionist and conservative party
of Great Britain
and northern Ireland...
29,046.
- Yay!
- Yay!
Sands,
Robert,
anti h-block
political prisoner...
30,000--
- yay!
- Yay!
30,400--
by God, he got it.
He f***ing got it.
- Yay!
- Yay!
I declare Robert sands
duly elected
as member of parliament...
For Fermanagh and South Tyrone.
They done it!
Bobby sands, m.P.!
Bobby.
Bobby.
Bobby.
Bobby.
You won.
You made your point.
Is it not time to stop now?
Will they do a deal?
I will see this through...
To the end.
No.
No.
No.
God, no!
Gerard.
What about Liam?
What about Liam?
You can't--
you must--
you must not do this, Gerard,
you hear me?
No!
No!
Please, I--I have to
talk to him some more.
No. Get him back.
The visit's over.
No.
Please, please.
Please, please,
let me speak with him.
There's nothing we can do.
Our hands are tied.
No.
Your son has made his decision.
You don't understand.
Please, I need more time.
Please. Please
give me more time.
I just--I just have
to see him again.
Please.
It's all right.
Come on, Kathleen.
Shh, calm down. Don't show
yourself up in front of them.
Shh, get ahold of yourself.
Give me the keys.
Give me the keys, please.
Give me the keys, come on.
I have to go back.
Oh, Jesus.
OK.
Yes, we are deeply
moved, Mrs. Quigley,
but can you explain to my
colleagues why you are here
and what you hope
can be achieved?
Well, we've, uh...
We've come to ask--
to beg...You
for our sons' lives.
For the life of Bobby sands,
a fellow m.P.
We ask you to persuade
the government to--
to go in there
and speak to them,
make some kind of compromise
before it's too late--
before someone has died.
But will the hunger
strikers give up?
Excuse me, madam.
These men are terrorists.
Her majesty's government--
since I appear to be
the only representative--
does not negotiate
with terrorists.
My son is not a terrorist.
Your son is
a convicted murderer.
Look...
They won't even let Bobby
sands talk to the press.
He's our m.P.
We have no voice.
You know, 30,000 people
voted for Bobby sands.
That's more than voted
for Thatcher,
so what are you afraid of?
You may or may not know
that it is in fact you that
will decide your sons' fate.
The law clearly states that if
your sons should lapse into comas,
then you have the legal right
to take them off the strike.
Surely no mother would
allow her son to die.
Tension is mounting
in Belfast tonight
with the news that h-block
hunger striker Bobby sands
is only hours away from death.
There was no sign of a last-minute
settlement in the prison dispute.
Sands, who was entering his
66th day of hunger strike...
Leave alone Bobby sands!
You bastards!
Leave him alone!
He's our m.P.!
Leave him alone!
Bastards!
Would everyone please join us
for a prayer vigil
at the police station?
Kathleen.
Form at the corner.
Kathleen.
Holy Mary, mother of God,
pray for us sinners now
and at the hour
of our death. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.

Run, everybody, run!
Liam!

No!
No! Come on.
Come on.
Present...Arms!
