:18:03
Is this true?
:18:09
It's the best anyone could have got.
:18:13
This gives up the north...
:18:15
...divides the country.
:18:17
You expect us to give an oath
of allegiance to the Crown?

:18:21
They can't comprehend
giving us the Republic.

:18:24
And that's why Dev sent me.
:18:27
What?
:18:29
He knew we'd get no Republic.
:18:31
He wanted me to bring back the bad news.
:18:34
We can use the Irish Free State
to achieve the Republic we want.

:18:39
It's either this or war.
:18:41
I won't go to war over words.
:18:45
What if it's war either way, Mick?
:18:49
You published the terms
without my agreement!

:18:55
-They were the best we could get.
-In your opinion!

:18:58
You sent me there knowing
they were the best we'd get.

:19:02
-Idle speculation.
-No, it's the truth.

:19:04
Or else you'd have gone yourself.
:19:07
We don't have the Republic...
:19:09
...but freedom to achieve it.
Peacefully.

:19:12
Surely it's time for peace.
:19:16
What would you know about peace?
:19:24
You said we could negotiate
on behalf of our government...

:19:27
...the D il and the Irish people.
:19:32
If they reject it, I'll reject it.
:19:34
If they stand by it, I'll stand by it.
:19:38
I want to know you'll do the same.
