In the name of the Father

and of the Son

and of the Holy Ghost.

- Amen.

- Amen.

Oh, Angel of God,

my guardian dear,

to whom God's love

commits me here,

ever this night be at my side

to light, to guard,

to rule and guide.

- Amen.

- Amen.

In the name of the Father

and of the Son

and of the Holy Ghost.

- Amen.

- Amen.

To bed now, girls.

Sorry.

Can you help me

to the toilet, please?

Yeah. Yeah.

Are you all right?

It's so painful.

What is?

Here.

It's so painful.

I think I'm going to faint.

Don't touch it.

Is your milk stuck?

I don't know.

I think so.

Don't touch. You'll start

leaking all over the place.

The nuns go crazy

if you start leaking.

Best just take the pain.

Be gone in a couple of days.

You better get to bed.

If they see you two

getting friendly,

they'll skin you alive.

Everyone, out of their beds.

Come on, come on.

Hurry up.

Has anyone seen Una O'Connor?

Did anyone hear anything

during the night?

Did anyone see her leave?

Breakfast.

"I believe in one God...

The Almighty Father,

maker of Heaven and Earth,

maker of all things visible

and invisible.

I believe in one Lord,

Jesus Christ,

the only begotten Son of God,

born the Father

before time began.

God from God,

Light from Light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made,

one in substance

with the Father,

and through Him

all things were made.

For us men

and for our salvation,

he came down from Heaven,

was incarnate

of the Virgin Mary

by the power of the Holy Spirit

and was made Man.

For our sake under Pontius..."

That is enough!

"Together with the Father

and the Son,

He is adored and glorified.

- He is...

...it was who spoke

through the prophets.

I believe in one Holy Catholic

and Apostolic church."

I keep a very close eye

on all of them.

Did you know, Sister, that I've

worked here for 40 years?

I don't do priests' collars.

Ask any of the girls.

I don't do them.

So what, I have to do

all my work as well as yours?

We can swap if you like.

Get lost.

Have you any bloody ones?

A lot of the girls hate the

bloody ones, but I don't mind.

There you go.

I'll do this for you.

A lot of the girls put them

into hot water.

I tell them,

but they don't listen.

You have to soak them

in cold water first

with a little bit of salt.

Then rub it like that.

I believe you.

What are you two talking about?

There's no talking allowed.

Sister!

They were talking.

But I've given them

a right round for it.

All right, Sister?

Yes, Kate.

There is no talking allowed.

What were you talking about?

I was just telling her

how to wash these.

Jesus, Mary,

and Holy St. Joseph.

Get them away from me.

You're a disgusting girl.

You know that?

Now, get back to work.

I worked here for 40 years.

I know all the little tricks.

I've got my eye on you two.

Listen to me.

Poor Sister Augusta.

She got into terrible trouble

with that girl running away.

That's why they asked me

to sit in for her.

Her poor nerve ends.

They're all shot to blazes.

I'm giving them a right earful

now, Sister! Right. Right.

A right earful, Sister.

That's what's wrong with youse.

You're just completely selfish.

You don't care if some poor nun

gets into trouble

and loses her position.

You don't care.

She just fell asleep

on night duty.

Now she's going to end up

in Africa,

working with the lepers.

Her fingers could fall off.

Her toes could fall off.

She might even lose her nose.

Anything that sticks out

falls off.

You just get on with your work!

Get on with it.

- We got to get out of this...

- Quiet, now!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

- This one? Is it this one?

- I'm sorry, Da!

Is this where you're at?

You'll stay here

till you die, you slut!

I just wanted to come home, Da!

I just wanted to come home!

I hate it here!

What have I told you?

What have I told you?!

What have I told you?!

You got no home.

You got no mother.

You got no father.

You killed us, you slut.

You killed us both.

You run away again,

I'll cripple you.

I swear to God.

Mr. O'Connor, I think

you should go home now.

We'll look after Una.

What you lookin' at, you whores?

God bless you, Sister.

Please,

don't leave me here, Da.

Please don't leave me here!

Get to bed now, Una.

I'll see you in the morning.

Now...

The rest of you, lie down.

Go to sleep.

So they're all hookers

and whores that work in there?

You don't look at them.

You don't talk to them.

Do you understand me?

Good morning.

There's somebody

looking for you.

It's my sister.

Oh, it's my little one!

That's my little boy.

Oh, isn't he big?

Isn't he the biggest boy

you've ever seen

in your whole life?

He's only 2.

And the size of him!

Blessed Virgin...

may you and St. Christopher...

St. Christopher...

Look over and...

Holy God, look after this child.

Bless you and bless everyone.

You two...

Stop hanging around!

Are you spastic, or what?

No. This here's

me friendly face.

Well, you can shove it up

your not-so-friendly arse.

Jesus.

And they tell me you, love,

are right into fellas.

Well, ain't that right?

That you lot are in here 'cause

you give it out to the lads?

You like to get

the old knickers off and that?

What's your wee boy called?

Don't know.

Ask me my name.

What's your name?

Crispina.

It means

"girl with the curly hair."

Sister Bridget gave it to me.

Two shillings

if you suck me cock.

Get off!

Look at you,

you mad f***in' b*tch!

When my baby came out of me,

they gave him to my sister.

And she's not allowed come here

and not allowed talk to me.

So I don't know his name.

But my auntie,

who's the richest woman

in the world,

she gave us both these.

And my sister...

My sister...

My sister brings him

to the gate sometimes,

and we talk on this.

This is a...

A Holy, uh...

Holy...

I'm sorry, Sister?

What's the word?

What's the word?

I'm sorry.

I just can't think of the word.

You know there's no talking.

Get back to work.

I said get back to work.

I am not going to

tell you again.

Telephone!

That's what it is

is telephone.

I can never think of the word.

Telephone.

I want to see

Sister Bridget right now.

I want to see

Sister Bridget right now.

Wait there.

I understand that you two

have been disobedient.

Sorry, Sister.

I just asked

if I could see you, Sister.

You didn't ask anything, girl.

You demanded.

Now, who in God's name gave you

the right to make demands?

I'm just wonderin'

why I'm here, Sister.

I've not committed any crime.

I've never been

with any lads, ever.

As God's honest truth.

But you'd like to, wouldn't you?

I'm a good girl, Sister.

No.

You're arrogant

and ill-mannered and stupid,

and that would be

why the boys liked you.

So much low intelligence

makes it easier

for them to get

their fingers inside you.

Isn't that right, Crispina?

Yes, Sister.

What did I just say?

I don't know, Sister.

That all men are sinners,

and therefore, all men

are open to temptation.

In any God-fearing country,
