"No." "Did he add a year or two to your sentence?" "No." "He just let you go?" "Yes." " I gave you my food." " Yes." "I need it back." "Oh, James." "What?" "You have turned informer." "I have not."

"Letters." "I read your file." "Did you, boss?" "It says you stole from a widow and three children." "Yes, boss." "It is true?" "I did it to feed my own children, boss." "Do you have children?"

"You duck a man, he says what you want him to say, so tell me what you want me to say and I will say it now and spare us all this shite." " You're an informer." " I'm an informer?" "I am not." "But if that is what you need to hear, then so be it," "I am an informer." "Say it." "Say it and mean it." "I cannot." " Why did he let you off?" " He did not." "You're alive, so he let you off." "He marched me to the scaffold with the vicar chanting a dead man's prayer." "They stood me on the trap door, they bound my hands and feet, they put a hood over my head, a noose around my neck and bade me goodbye." "And let me tell you, that is not letting off." "That is the cruellest thing you can do to a man." "Perhaps." "But we would see it as a letting off, so why would he do that?" "I do not know." " What did he say?" " JAMES:" "Nothing." "TOMMY:" "Nothing?" "JAMES:" "Nothing I remember." "Nothing." "He took the hood of your head, presumably." "JAMES:" "Yes." "TOMMY:" "Yeah." " The rope from round your neck." " Yes." " Freed your hands and feet." " Yes." "Yes?" "So in all that time, what did he say?" "What explanation did he give for tricking you in that way?" " I do not remember." " You do not remember because there is no possible explanation apart from this, you did a deal." "I do not remember because I was a dead man and the next second I was alive again." "No man would remember anything in those circumstances." "Why do you think he let you live?" "Why?" "Why?" "Because I did not deserve to hang." "The blacksmith was stealing my food," " starving me to death." " He knew all that." "What I did, I did in self-defence..." " He knew that." "...mustn't hang a man who kills..." "He knew all that and still sentenced you to hang." "He faced us all, convicts and soldiers, and said you would hang when the blacksmith's body was found but you have not hanged." "So now he appears weak." "Why is that?" "Why is he prepared to appear weak?" "What have you offered him in exchange?" " Nothing." " You have turned informer." "I have not." "And what could I tell him, anyway?" "That we are all fed up, all hungry, all dreaming of escape." "I doubt that would be a revelation." "I will swear on the Bible." "I will swear on a stack of Bibles, I am no informer." "If I am an informer, may God strike me dead right now." "The only information I have that could be of any interest to the Governor is this." "We three killed the blacksmith." "I did not act alone." "If I'm an informer, why have I not told him that, hmm?" "Why are you two still free?" "I am no informer." "Why did you not hang?" "I do not know." "Do not take us for idiots, James." "(JAMES INHALES DEEPLY)" "If there is anyone here who can offer me any explanation as to why this man is still alive, let him do so now." "Anyone?" "Anyone?" "(GASPS)" "Hey." "Hey." "You have the gift of the gab, James, but that is not going to do you any good this time because we do not want gab, we want truth." "Have you turned informer?" "No." "If there is any alternative, tell me it now." "Don't look at me, tell me what else I can do!" "Anyone?" "Anyone?" "(GASPING)" "If I duck you for a third time, James," "I will hold you under until you are dead, so tell me it now." "Tell me you are an informer, tell me it now and you will live."

"(PANTING)" "If you come clean with us, we will not harm you." "If you do not come clean with us, you will die here and now." "Do you understand?" "Hey, do you understand?" "Are you an informer?" "Hmm?" "If you make us kill you now, it is I who will have to do it." "Do not do that to me, James, please." "Are you an informer?" "(SCREAMING) No!" " ELIZABETH:" "Tommy?" " (MUFFLED SCREAMING)" "Tommy?" "Tommy?" "Tommy!" "(GASPS)" "Are you an informer?" "Are you an informer?" "Are you an informer?" "Are you an informer?" "Yes!" "(SOBS)" " Kill him." " (JAMES CONTINUES SOBBING)" "(TOMMY PANTING)" "I gave him my word." "You do not have to stay true to your word when you're dealing with an informer." "When a man informs on another man, he loses all respect." " Just kill him, will you?" " ELIZABETH:" "We can use this." "Surely, we can use it." "Why no vote?" "All of this?" "All of this and no vote." "We would all have done what this man has done." "So, I demand we vote." "Get out." "Get out now." "Get out while we vote." "Get out now." "Go on!" "Get out!" "(DOOR CLOSES)" "Who wants him dead?" "Present!" "Fire!" "On the day we landed," "I promised that I would get you all home safe and sound, all of you." "I have broken that promise." "In my defence, I envisaged a threat coming from the convicts, rebelling, perhaps, or the natives attacking." "I did not envisage, could not envisage a soldier dying because he was hungry." "A soldier forgetting everything he had been taught because ahead of him lay food and he was so, so hungry." "Do you wish to add anything, Governor?" "We are at the grave of a young soldier." "Little wonder emotions run high." "Soldiers have gone hungry before." "They've gone thirsty, they've been hot, they've been cold." "And yet they have maintained their discipline." "This young man did not." "And that is why he lies here." "ROSS:" "We will cook the animal he shot and you may all have a piece of it tonight in memory of Michael." "Meanwhile, every convict must know that Michael died of snake bite." "The bush must terrify them as much as the ocean." "Thus, Michael's death will make our lives a little easier." "Dismissed." "SOLDIER:" "Shoulder, arm, and turn." "ROSS:" "Dismissed!" "Where is Katherine?" "I have no idea, sir." "She will be sad to hear about Private Mulrooney." "Really, sir?" "She saw a lot of him." "Every time she came to my tent, in fact." "Of course, sir." "When you see her, will you..." "Will you give her this from me?" " Does it have any significance, sir?" " Of course." "Oh." " Sir?" " She has not told you." "Told me what?" "Sir?" "Sir?" "The story of the statue of the Virgin?" " No, sir." " Oh." "Well, perhaps she will one day." "How can he be an informer when everyone knows he is an informer?" " What are we likely to tell him?" " We have voted." "I know both these men." "I know the man to be killed and I know the man who will kill him and I love them both and I will be heard and you can stick your "we have voted" up your arse." "You voted to kill him, Anne." "And yet this all started because he tried to help you." "The blacksmith stole your food and no one lifted a finger apart from James Freeman." " He proved himself..." " You were not there." "...more of a man than any man here." " You were not there." " Is it not true?" "He proved himself more of a man than my Tommy, even." "So why, Anne?" "Why vote to kill a man who helped you when you most needed it?" "Why, Anne, when one vote means so much?" "I am Irish and... he's an informer." "James Freeman has shown remarkable courage in standing up to a bully and understandable fear on that scaffold." "Let one cancel out the other, Anne." "Let him live." "(EXHALES DEEPLY)" "A lot of them wanted you dead, James." "Will you tell the Governor only what we tell you to tell him?" " Yes." " And nothing else?" "He is no fool." "He will realise what you are up to." "When that happens, you must tell us everything." " Yes." " You will hold nothing back from us." " Nothing at all." " Nothing." "Then you may live, James." "Oh, look." "Some tobacco, Tommy, for turning informer." "No, mate, but we can turn it into rum." "The soldiers are gambling tonight, they would deal us in for this." "Poker?" "We should get pissed, the three of us, rat-arsed again." "I've brought you something." "Tell me what you want to know." "Everything that might help me." "There are not just the living and the dead, Mrs Johnson." "There is the world of the unborn." "Millions of souls waiting millions of years to pass on to the Kingdom of Heaven." "To them, to the unborn, this life is nothing." "It is a river they must cross to reach the other side, to reach the Kingdom of Heaven." "So they want this life, this river, to be as short as possible." "To the unborn, a woman like you is heaven-sent." "You give birth to them, they die within minutes." "And before they know it, they are with the angels in heaven." "For the unborn, you are the ideal mother, Mrs Johnson, and your children are eternally grateful." "Do not grieve or blame yourself in any way." "Instead, Mrs Johnson, rejoice." "Is that not comforting?" "(CHUCKLES)" "Yes." "But it is heresy, Anne." "To say the earth is round was heresy once." "You say I will... give birth to a healthy child?" "One who thrives?" "Yes." "How can I rejoice in both, a child who dies and a child who thrives?" "The child who thrives will be happy with you as his mother." "The child who dies will be happy to get to the Kingdom of Heaven so soon." "A woman who believes this, and I promise you it is the absolute truth, Mrs Johnson, a woman who believes this will never know sadness again." "Do you believe me?" "(EXHALES)" "I want to, Anne." "Why put your faith in a convict?" "Some cruel and manipulating charlatan preying on your loss and vulnerability, cynically telling you what you want to hear in the hope she may reap some reward?" "But I have proof." "I want nothing in return." "Last time, you said you felt my children's presence." "Yes." "Do you feel it now?" "Yes." "What are they doing?" "Watching over you." "It's so strange." "We want big, strong sons to protect us when we are old." "But the dead can protect us even more." "(EXHALES)" "Thank you." "This has all been confidential, yes?" "Yes." "What I'm about to ask you, can that be confidential, too?" "Of course." "Does your husband have a gun?" "A gun?" "No, of course not." "Why?" "The Governor will have to cut rations again soon." "When he does, there will be mayhem." "You should be safe, for we respect a man of God, but a man of God with a gun we will respect even more." "Thank you." "Where have you been?" "The bush." "The bush?" "Yes, but I cheated." "Kept close to the edge, made sure I could see the sky and hear the sea." "Sums me up, I'm afraid." "There's no ship coming, Deborah." "There will be no rescue." "So, you choose." "Do we break open the store and let them all eat to their hearts' content and then watch them die?" "Or do we eke it out over months and only then watch them die?" "Die sooner or die later?" "You choose." "You will do what has to be done, Governor." "As always, I have nothing but respect and admiration for you." "Thank you." "REVEREND:" "Will we make love again tonight?" "MARY:" "Yes." "Our souls will never die." "No." "Suppose it is more than that?" "It is not just our souls will never die but... our souls have always lived?" "They did not need to be born as we were born." "They were always there, just waiting for a body to inhabit." " Yes?" " Would that be heresy?" "Have you been speaking to someone?" "Thank you." "I'm sorry?" "I've said something interesting, therefore I must have heard it from someone else." "I'm sorry." "I do not think it would be heresy, no." "Are you sure?" "I'm fairly sure." "Because that is what I am beginning to believe." "Anything else?" "Yes." "I think you should ask the Governor for a gun." "Mary." "What?" " You have been speaking to someone." " I have not." "You have, because that is so unlike you, you know that God himself will protect us." "We have no need of guns." " And to whom have you been speaking?" " No one." "(SIGHS)" " You said we would make love." " I've changed my mind." "The Major is looking for you." "I know." "He asked me to give you something." "What?" "Do you not know?" "No." "What is it?" "You tell me." "Is it yours?" " Then why is he giving it to you?" " I have no idea." "It must have some significance." "Why else would he want you to have it?" "He mentioned a story." " Did he?" " Yes." "You told him a story?" "Yes." " When?" " The last time we were together." "You said you did not speak to him." "I lied." " Why?" " I do not know." "What story was it?" "Just a story, a stupid story." "Tell me." "When I was a girl, I used to pray to the statue of the Virgin Mary in church." "She seemed to wobble." "The more sincere the prayer, the more she seemed to wobble." "Why did you tell him?" "Because he told me the story of when he was a boy and I didn't know what else to say." " Why have you not told me this story?" " Because..." "Because what?" "Did you think I would mock you?" "I do not know, perhaps." "Perhaps?" "So the Major is more understanding, more sympathetic, more sensitive than I, is that it?" "No!" "Please do not be upset." "Can you not see that that is exactly what he wants?" "Intimate chats, exchanging of gifts..." "What's next, falling in love with him?" "Or have you already?" "Of course not." "I love you." "Nobody else." "I risked my life for you." "I know." "He could have had me shot." "You think you have to tell me that?" "I got into his bed to save you from being shot." "LETTERS: "It happened on the 9th of June, Mr and Mrs Mulrooney."

"On the day she got flogged, she was in a cell." "I was guarding her." "I gave her one then." "I'm sure you did." " Baby's probably mine." " God help it."
