The Informer Page #4

And if there's any one here

thinks he's a match for us with his fists...

...will he kindly step up?

Am I right, Gypo? Or am I wrong?

You're right. You're right.

Quiet! Quiet! Silence!

Go to the devil, all of you!

- There's more drink where this came from.

- You hear that? There's more.

Hey, get some more drinks.

Gypo!

Stop it! Stop it, stop it, stop it!

Want to get me

picked up by the police?

Hey. Hey, I'll keep order for you.

Here!

Who's making all the row?

The first one that opens his mouth

above a whisper...

...I'll crack his skull open.

- And he'd enjoy doing it.

- Yeah. Gypo!

Come on.

I'll teach you to behave

like a gentleman amongst ladies.

Hey.

Hey, excuse me.

Can you play

"All Those Endearing Charms"?

"Believe Me If All Those

Endearing Young Charms."

That's what I said.

Do you hear? That's what he said.

Now, that's what he said.

Commandant wants

to see you outside.

- Oh, Dan!

- Mary, darling!

You shouldn't have come here.

What if the Tans should come back?

It's all right, dear.

My lads are outside.

Poor darling. I know how you feel.

And there's nothing I can say or do

to help you, except that...

...well, I wish it wish could have been

me instead of Frankie.

If I lost you, I would only want to die.

Poor Mother.

Dan, when is this trouble

going to end?

This killing and more killing.

It's hard on you women, I know.

You're braver than we are.

- I'm sorry, dear.

- I love you, Mary.

I love you, Dan.

I must ask you some questions

about Frankie. May I?

Of course.

There must have been an informer.

You know that.

The man who knew about Frankie

knows enough to destroy us all.

The moment he's frightened,

he'll run to the Tans and tell everything...

...and they'll wipe us out

with one sweep.

Why, I'm not thinking about myself.

It's the organization. It's Ireland.

- You know that, don't you?

- I know that, dear.

I have to find that informer.

Tell me, did Frankie think he was followed

when he came home tonight?

No, he was sure he wasn't.

- Had he seen or spoken to anybody?

- Nobody.

Only his friend Gypo Nolan.

Said he had to find him first

to see if there was a guard on the house.

- Where?

- Let's see.

At the Dunboy House, I think he said.

I see.

Did he mention a man named Mulligan?

No, I'm sure not.

We're holding a court of inquiry at 1:30.

Can you come? I need you.

If you need me, I'll come.

I'll come back for you about 1:00.

Can you slip out the back way?

Oh, Dan, Dan. What should I do

if anything happened to you?

Whatever happens to you

happens to my own heart.

Commandant, there's a patrol of Tans

in the neighborhood. You'd better hurry.

I forgot something.

I gotta be going.

- Gypo.

- Gypo. Gypo!

Gypo, come on back now.

Come on and I'll get you a nice drink.

Yes, and I'll sing you another song.

Come on.

Oh, how contemptible you are. You only

tolerate him because of his money.

Watch out what you're saying,

my fine lady.

I know you hate me

simply because I'm not coarse.

- Simply because I'm...

- Nothing of the kind.

I hate you because you're

a stuck-up, ignorant person...

...who thinks you're better

than anybody else.

I had no right to come in here.

- I should have gone to the police.

- Police? None of that talk.

Now, keep away from the police.

What do you want the police for?

I want to get back home.

Where's your home?

It's near London.

Now listen, Gypo.

Now listen, Gypo, be very careful.

Don't do anything you'll regret.

How much will it cost to get back there?

There, there's your fare.

Five pounds!

What are you after doing, Gypo?

Now, don't be afraid now.

Get out of here and go home.

Keep the money. Go on.

But keep away from the police.

You're a good man. A good man.

Five pounds, on me immortal soul.

- Gypo, do you know what...?

- That's all right, dearie.

But she owes me 4 pounds

for board and lodging.

Now who's going to pay me that?

Shut your gob!

And not another word.

Now listen, Gypo,

don't start this all over again.

Two and 5 is 7,

and 4 is 11.

Eleven pounds.

Ladies and gentlemen, you've seen

the wonders of our generosity.

Money scattered like snuff at a wake.

Now, I want you to drink

a head to King Gypo...

...as brave as a lion

and as strong as a bull.

I'd go through fire and water for him,

and he'd do the same for me.

And from now on, from this night...

...wherever you see one of us,

you'll see the other.

Or vice versa, as the case may be.

- Am I right? Or am I wrong, Gypo?

- Right.

I ask you to drink

to the undying friendship...

Shut up!

And who, may I ask,

has the impertinence...

...to tell me and Gypo to shut up?

Quiet!

Make way there. Make way.

Bartley, me boy. Come have a drink.

Come along, Gypo.

It's time to be going.

Be off with you.

Who are you to be giving me orders?

Bash him, Gypo, bash him.

Who does he thinks he is?

Giving orders to us.

I said, shut up!

They're not my orders,

they're Gallagher's...

...and you'd better be careful

about disobeying them.

You're right. You're right, Bartley.

- Is it 1:
00?

- It is.

I know who they are.

They're with the Republican Army.

The Republican Army.

I'm no friend of Gypo's.

He wormed his way into me confidence.

I'm a true son of Erin, and I'd never

lift me hand against the crown.

Crown or no crown,

army or no army...

...who's gonna pay me

for that last round of drinks?

Come on, Gypo, let's go.

You ought to be thrown

into the Liffey, you old hag...

...for serving liquor after hours,

and on the holy day of obligation.

Not so fast, you little snake.

You can pay for the drinks yourself.

Now, listen, Aunt Betty,

you're a lovely, quiet decent little woman...

...and if you'll give me till tomorrow

till I raise the wind...

Tomorrow, is it?

Mickeen! Mickeen!

Oh, dear, oh, dear.

I have a queer feeling there's going to be

a strange face in heaven in the morning.

Gypo!

Katie. Katie, I've been looking

all over for you.

- Where have you been?

- I was in my digs. I waited for you.

Why didn't you come?

What's wrong, Gypo?

Where are they taking you?

Katie, it's all right. It's all right.

Don't you worry.

Gallagher's taking me back.

Shut up, Gypo.

- Come on, let's go. Come along.

- Hey, wait a minute.

- Wait, wait.

- Let's get him.

Will you stop it?

Keep your hands off me, will you?

Hey, do you remember the 20 pounds

I was talking about?

The 20 pounds?

I got it. I got it for you.

I got it for you. Twenty pounds.

Twenty pounds.

Come on, you've had

enough of that talk.

- Come on, come on.

- Come on, Gypo.

Gypo!

All right, sir.

Attention.

Our case is prepared, gentlemen.

Look out below!

- Come.

- Let me alone, will you?

Hello, boys, here I am...

...and I can fight the best six men

that ever walked the earth.

Come on.

Danny. Danny, me boy, am I right?

You and me, we can put them

on the run, huh? Come on.

What's the matter with your eye,

Bartley?

He got in me way
