Lucky Mick.
:17:30
I did my best, Kitty,
but it won't be good enough.
:17:36
We'll have an Irish Free State,
instead of an Irish Republic.
:17:39
We'll have our own government.
:17:42
But we have to swear allegiance
to the English Crown.
:17:45
The position of the
north will be reviewed...
:17:47
...but now it remains part
of the British Empire.
:17:51
This treaty isjust a steppingstone.
:17:53
I hope the country sees it as such.
:17:58
How are you?
: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.
