The film explores the concept that dreams and memories can be actual memories of past lives, suggesting that souls may return to complete unfinished business from previous existences.

➡️ BEAUTIFUL MOVIE DRAMA! A woman sets out on a journey to find parts of her past 🎬Added:
[singing] [singing] [music] >> Wait for me.
I'm too small.
>> [laughter] [laughter] >> Wait for me.
>> [music] >> Hello, Sonny.
>> [music] >> Hello.
>> [screaming] [crying] >> Jen.
Oh.
You all right?
Okay, the missiles are here. I need their plans.
I'm working on it.
You said you'd have them yesterday.
Well, I'm a little behind. Well, you can't be a little behind.
Doug, I don't know. I just I just don't feel right.
I'm still having those dreams.
Okay.
Tell them we need a little more time.
>> [sighs] [music] >> I was about to pick you up. How did you get home? Brian drove me.
Why didn't you call the store?
I can get myself home, Mom.
>> It's no problem, Mrs. Cole.
So, you need more colleges? Yeah.
Where are they? California.
I thought you were talking about Stroudsburg.
No, you were.
Well, it's a good school, Kevin. It's right here in the Lehigh Valley. I don't see any reason why Because I don't want to stay in the Lehigh Valley, Mom.
Okay?
>> [clears throat] >> Um Brian's brother's buying a new truck.
He's selling his old one.
How old? '91.
It's 1,200 bucks. It has 135,000 mi on it. It needs a little work, but I can do it. '91?
You and Dad said if I saved the money, I could buy a truck.
135,000 mi.
And one more year and I'm so out of here.
I got to get going.
All right. Goodbye, Mrs. Cole.
Bye, Brian.
What's wrong with you?
So, it's dreams again, huh?
Every night for the past few weeks.
Today it happened at work.
And it's not normal to have dreams like that during the day.
Sure it is. I it in calculus every morning.
It's my money, Mom. I want to buy that truck.
All those years of trying, all those doctors.
I never thought it would happen.
Me, neither.
So, how far along are you?
Six weeks.
I can't believe it.
Well, we always said we wanted another one.
Yes, when Kevin was three.
Guess it took a bit longer.
>> [snorts] >> Is that all you're going to say? So, it took a little longer.
What do you want me to say, Jen?
It's not part of the plan.
Plans are going to have to change, that's all.
Our life is going to change.
Important thing is to keep our heads on straight.
Huh?
You're not worried about becoming a parent again? Look, the only thing I'm worried about is this business.
We spent the last 20 years preparing for this, and we have 8 months to make it work. If we can't do that, I don't know what I'm supposed to do about Kevin's college or new baby or any of it.
Goodnight, sweetheart.
Mhm.
Mhm.
Mhm.
Mhm.
Mhm.
>> A shilling, Mother. Look.
I worked an extra hour.
That's why I was late.
I made two pence more.
I want you to have the two [music] pence. Hide them.
Don't let Father have them.
No, son. You worked hard for us. It's your money.
But I want you to have it.
All right.
She looked like me.
Sounds crazy, doesn't it, Mom?
You're pregnant, sweetheart. You're allowed to sound crazy.
I saw this in a dream.
It's church.
I think it's in Ireland.
You dreamed about Ireland when you were a little girl.
It's all you ever talked about.
Drove your father crazy. [music] Your Irish family.
Dreams stopped when you started to go to school.
Here are maps of your Irish town.
You drew them all the time.
I don't know why I kept them.
Well, you drew this when you were only 6 years old.
Hey.
He'll be right out. He's getting the papers together.
Where's Dad? He said he was going to be here.
He's not coming. Had to check on the Owens job. Uh Sounds great, huh?
So, um I have the 1,200, but I may need to borrow a little bit of money from you and Dad for new parts, maybe like 400 bucks.
Kevin, I'm afraid something's come up.
There's not going to be any extra money for a while.
Well, I'm buying it anyway.
>> What came up?
I'm going to have a baby.
What?
I'm pregnant.
No way.
I only found out a couple of days ago.
So, you're going to be a big brother.
Yeah, right.
>> Yo, Kevin. We got the papers.
Whatever that means.
You find it?
Yeah, sure.
Cool.
Uh that's right. I think it's for the seller, Nick Matson.
Get along, sonny.
Come on, keep up.
Check the trap over there.
Do it fast.
>> [music] >> Did you catch one?
>> [snorts] >> I have to kill it.
Have you caught one or not?
What the bloody hell is going on in there?
What should I do?
I can't tell you what to do.
It's your trial.
You have to decide.
You have to decide.
We haven't got all day.
There we go.
Go on. Go on.
Don't tell her, Mother.
Please.
I promise.
That's enough now. It's late. Come on.
And don't ever tell him.
Not a word.
No, Sonny. Never.
Not to anyone.
I promise.
Hey, Kevin. Check out your mom.
Dr. Wickman said that being pregnant at 42 isn't quite the same as when you're 24.
But he said I was fine and he didn't expect any problems. That must make you both very happy.
Yes. Sure.
Mom said you're not going to have the money to buy me spark plugs.
So, that means California's out of the question, too, right? That's right.
Right.
Kid's not even born yet and it's ruining my life. Don't say that, Kevin. It's not the end of the world. It is for me.
>> That's enough.
Thanks.
Did you ask Dr. Wickland about your dreams? Well, he said it's common to have unusual dreams when you're pregnant.
But I don't think this has anything to do with that.
Come on, Shane. You're making way too big a deal about this.
Kevin, you're all right. They're just dreams.
Well, they don't feel like that. What do they feel like? I mean, what do you see?
Well, they're always the same.
This family in Ireland.
And I've never been there, so I don't really know, but >> Where in Ireland? Nowhere, that's where.
Come on, what kind of question is that?
A geographical question, Doug.
Very funny, Maggie. Kevin, do me a favor, please. Don't encourage this.
Where do you think it is, Jen?
I don't know, Mom.
Oh, you know what? I have an Ouija board in the closet, Maggie. Do you think that would help?
Come on, you know how ridiculous this is?
There.
Malahide?
Thanks very much.
Hi, I'm Jenny Cole. I ordered a map and someone called and said it came in.
I'll check. We'll be right back.
Excuse me.
>> Seems like there are four children.
Sonny is the oldest. He's um 12 or 13.
And I feel that she loves him very much and there's something else, something very dark.
This is insane. It's not insane. Yes, it is.
Found it.
It's a survey map of the general Malahide area.
Look.
Look at the village.
It's the same.
The road.
The church.
The station.
The roads are the same on both [music] maps.
You see? There's Swords Road.
That's Malahide.
Did you draw this yourself?
And you didn't know it was Malahide? No.
Oh.
Hi, do you have books Excuse me.
Hey, I'm looking for the It's real.
Malahide is real.
And who are those people I keep seeing?
Are they real, too?
I bought got book for you.
It was written by a Dr. Christopher Garrison. He teaches theology at the University of Pennsylvania. He's also a hypnotherapist. It's about reincarnation.
No, Mom.
You've never been to Ireland.
You drew pictures of it when you were a child and then again as an adult. Well, in the book Garrison says no one can have dreams like that. He says they're memories. Couldn't possibly be memories.
I'm not saying I believe it. I'm saying it might help you to explain what you're feeling.
Call you later.
Bye, Mom. Bye.
Where's the money?
Right.
I know you've got money.
Give it to me, you little runt. Leave him alone. The neighbors will hear. I don't care if the whole of THE SWORDS ROAD HEARS ME.
STOP IT. IT'S JUST A LITTLE BOY. STOP.
LEAVE HER ALONE.
YOU'VE GOT IT.
DON'T YOU?
COME ON.
Give it to me.
Come on. Give it to me.
Give me the money.
>> Mother, are you okay?
Jen, congratulations. Thanks. We can go shopping together. I found the best baby place. Everything is on sale. That'd be fun.
We had a meeting about an hour ago. Sam Casey, remember him? Residential developer putting in five houses on River Road. Looking for somebody to do his millwork. You remember him?
I'm sorry.
They called.
Where were you?
I can't do it alone.
You have to be here.
We need his business.
>> Doug, there's someone I want to go see.
Darryl.
Hey, delivery date on the LaBret's job has moved up to the 4th. Shouldn't be a problem. His name is Dr. Christopher Garrison and he's a hypnotherapist.
>> Double check the specs on the pantry cabinets.
>> Yeah, it's okay.
>> He uses hypnosis to treat anxiety, confusion, and emotions like that.
>> says that you're fine. There's no reason to worry about the [music] dreams.
>> Memories. What? In his book, Garrison says that these could be memories of a past life. This could be reincarnation.
Let's talk about this in the office.
He has a PhD in theology and another one in clinical psychology.
>> in reincarnation? All of the people in this book had memories of previous lives. All the people in this book are crazy.
I think maybe I'm the woman in Ireland.
The mother of that family.
Listen to yourself, Jen. Do you Do you have any idea what you're saying? I'm not asking you to believe it, Doug.
I just need you to be there for me to to try to understand that I need to do this.
What did you tell Casey?
That something must have happened.
You were the most dependable [music] person I ever met.
Even in high school you'd be dressed and ready and waiting for me.
You thought I was waiting for you?
They lived someplace called Swords Road.
The Irish family.
I heard it in one of my dreams.
Check the map.
There was a sword swallowed in Melhide.
Well, how could I know that, Doc?
I don't know.
But reincarnation I mean, that's something I just can't accept, Jen.
I mean, we got a lot going on here now.
If seeing this guy is going to help put it behind you, then you go.
I'm going to get back to work.
You can relax now.
And you've read my book, so you know how I like to work.
I videotape each of the sessions so that we can go back and analyze them.
Sometimes a person says something that seems insignificant at first, but it's often the most unlikely detail that can be verified.
Now, Mrs. Cole, we need to find out what it is you're seeing, what you're feeling, and then we can go about making a judgement as to whether these are true memories or not.
Shall we begin?
I'm going to count backwards from five to one.
At the count of one, you will hear only my voice.
Five.
Deeper.
Four.
Very good.
Three.
Deeper still.
Two.
Almost there.
One.
We're going back to Ireland.
Back to the time frame of this Malahide existence. Hello.
All right, Jenny. You're safe.
Are you in Malahide? Yes.
Are you alone?
No.
Who's with you?
Two of the children.
Is everything all right?
No.
No, something's wrong.
Something's wrong.
Let me help you, Mother.
Sally, watch your sister.
Where is it? How are you? There.
Oh, God, Mary, are you all right?
Mother!
Elizabeth, move quickly.
I'm afraid.
Mr. Mullan, a cup of water, please.
He is like a boy.
He won't leave me alone.
This is O'Neill. Oh.
Thanks.
Drink it up.
Ah.
5 4 3 2 1 My name's Mary.
Yeah.
She's pregnant, too.
I'd like to schedule a series of sessions with you if you're interested in continuing on.
I really think there's something here worth exploring.
I have an opening for next Tuesday.
Mary O'Neal When you go out of state, isn't tuition more expensive? All the schools that Kevin's interested in offer different kinds of financial aid packages. Yeah, well, I'm sure they do, but we're not really in a position to take on a big loan right now. It is possible to defer payments. That's not really an option, either.
Kevin's done well enough to apply for certain grants and scholarships. We could take that road.
Okay, I guess we could. Definitely, we could. Well, what about living expenses?
And travel, I mean, just getting there and back's a big deal.
Some grants and scholarships, depending on need, include money for living and travel expenses. We can go after those specifically.
I think we should look at some of these other colleges first, those close to home. I'm not staying closer.
I'm going to live there. I'll get a job and work for a year. I'll pay for everything myself if I have to.
Mrs. Cole, I understand your apprehension, but the flip side of that coin is what Kevin thinks.
Going to the West Coast may be the best thing for him.
>> [laughter] >> It hurts.
>> [screaming] >> Yes?
>> [screaming] >> Is the doctor there, with you? Yes.
Is there anything he can do for you?
No.
No. [laughter] >> [gasps] >> All right, Nala. Bare down. Bare down.
COME ON.
>> [screaming] >> I HAVE IT.
IT'S A BOY.
IT'S A BOY.
IT'S BLUE.
IT'S bloody blue.
>> [sighs] >> Very sorry.
My baby.
>> [gasps and crying] >> All right.
It's a boy.
She can't survive another pregnancy.
She won't live through it.
No more children, John.
You've got a good family here.
Four healthy children.
Be thankful for [music] the blessings you've been given.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
Jenny.
This can't be happening.
It's all right.
It's all right, Jenny.
Jenny, look.
The strength and the depth of these emotions that you're experiencing as this Irish woman, they lead me to believe that her life was real.
Now, it's possible for you to find out who she was, when she lived, how your life now is connected to her life then.
>> [music] >> These aren't dreams, Jenny.
>> [music] >> They are your memories.
What happened?
He was so little.
The tiniest of baby boy.
So sad.
What little boy?
Mary had child and it was stillborn.
And I was holding him.
I could feel him in my arms. I could I could feel his dead in my heart.
That's how it feels when it's your own child.
It's all right, Jen.
He was my son.
That was my life.
Hi.
Hi.
What are you doing? Reading about Ireland.
Trying to find out when Mary lived.
Who's that?
That's Mary's daughter, Elizabeth.
Grandma said that when I was a little girl, I named all my dolls Elizabeth.
She swears it's true.
That's so weird.
You really believe you're reincarnated?
I believe it enough that I can't ignore it.
But I can't say that I understand it.
Yeah.
I can't understand it either, but I mean, you were just a little kid. How could you draw this stuff?
What time's Dad coming home? I want him to check something out on the truck. Oh, no, I've got to go.
Sam Casey meeting. I'm late for your father.
Bye. Bye.
That place you did over in Fairview?
Mhm. That's what I'm looking for here.
Okay, no problem. But I want a cleaner look at the place at the end of the block. It's a more modern design. Jenny will draw up some plans. We'll go over them until you're satisfied. Great.
Well, shall we move on? I'm almost done.
So, Doug, how's business? So far, so good.
That was a smart move opening your own shop. I had to do it, you know. Yeah.
Yeah, I know the feeling. Business is good right now, but uh four jobs moving through the shop.
Is she okay?
January 17th, 1932.
That's great, Evie.
Stop wishing, Frank. You'll wear that hem before I've even finished it. No, I won't.
Yes, you will. You've worn through all the coats Mother has made you. No, I haven't. Yes, you have.
Why do you do that? Do what?
>> [laughter] >> What are you doing?
Fixing Frank's new jacket.
>> [snorts] >> Why don't you finish it later and come into the bedroom?
I can't, John.
The jacket can wait.
Just put the needle down and come with me. No, John.
No.
I said, "Come with me."
>> And I said, "No." You'll do as I say.
Leave her alone.
Sonny, no. No. Don't threaten me, boy.
Don't hurt him.
LEAVE HIM ALONE.
NO, JOHN.
NO, JOHN. PLEASE, THE CHILDREN. NO.
You just do what I say. No, please.
No.
>> Get down IN THAT BED. JOHN, NO. COME ON, MARY. WHERE'S YOUR COAT? I'LL GET ANOTHER ONE. I told you to shut up.
No, John. No. No, please.
Come on, Mary.
Jenny?
Jenny. Jenny, Jenny, what's wrong?
>> [laughter] >> Hey.
Hey, what is it?
It's not over. What's not over?
Hey, what is not over?
He knew she couldn't have any more children.
She's going to die. She's not going to die. Nobody's going to die. Listen to me. She is not real. None of them are.
Even if they were, they'd be dead by now.
No.
No, they could still be alive.
What are you talking about?
>> I heard you recently said it was 1932.
The children.
They could still be alive.
Hello.
Oh, hello.
Thank you. Thank you for calling.
No. No, no, this is a good time.
I just need to get to my notes.
>> Who is it?
It's the priest from St. Joseph's Church in Malahide.
Yes. Yes, Father Kelly.
I'm trying to track a family that lived in Malahide in the 1930s.
Their name was O'Neil.
The parents' name were John and Mary, and I believe they had four children.
Yes. Yes, I know, but I was told that in Ireland churches keep a hold of all the old records, and I was I was hoping that you could find a birth certificate or a marriage document or a death notice. You know, something that would tell me what happened to them.
It's 3:00 in the morning. Would you check your files and email me whatever you find?
Jenny.
Oh, you don't have a computer.
Well, is there anyone that can look for me?
I know I know I understand, Father.
Thank you. Thank you anyway.
>> [sighs] >> Mail's here.
What is it?
I wrote 14 letters to families with the name O'Neil in the Malahide area.
None of them know anything about Mary.
Did you tell them about the dreams?
No.
But I told them it was important that I find them.
So, Mom, I don't get it. Are you Jenny or are you Mary?
I believe that Mary and I are the same soul born again.
That I was Mary then, but I'm Jenny now.
How'd she die? I don't know.
But the memories are getting stronger.
Why?
In Garrison's book, the souls that were born again very soon after they died felt they had to return to complete some kind of unfinished business.
I'm sure it has something to do with the children.
But I don't know what it is.
>> wants a wife e i e i the farmer wants a wife pick a nice wife pick a nice wife e i e i pick a nice wife the wife wants a child the wife wants a child e i e i the wife wants a child pick a nice child pick a nice child e i e i pick a nice child I love that one.
And you all sang it so wonderfully. I like that song, too. We know. It's the only reason you sang it.
Hey, wait.
>> [laughter] >> You should be home in bed.
You need to rest.
No.
No, I need to be with my children.
It won't be long now.
Did you decide what to name the baby?
I'd like that for a boy and Felicity for a girl.
I'd like an older sister.
I'll see what I can do then.
Sonny if anything should happen to me Nothing's going to happen to you.
Sonny, you got to [music] take care of the children. Mother, stop.
It's going to be all right.
You're the oldest.
Promise me you keep the children together.
I promise.
>> [music] >> Oh.
What happened? Oh, I picked up a hot pan. Stupid. Didn't think. You okay?
Mama, she knew she was going to die.
She knew she was going to have to leave them with that animal.
>> [sighs and gasps] >> She made Sonny promise to keep the children together after she was gone.
>> [sighs] [gasps] >> All those phone calls, all those letters, I just can't find them. I don't even know if they're all right.
>> [snorts] >> Oh.
I'm sorry, I'm a mama.
Did I know you were coming today?
I have three plane tickets.
I want you to go to Ireland.
All of you.
What? You have to finish this, Jen. Not just for you, but for Doug and Kevin.
They need you.
You're right, Mom. I'm living in the past.
He's not here.
You're going to have a baby, Jenny.
You've got to be here.
Find out what happened to Mary and her children.
So you can come back to your life.
Oh, Mom.
>> [sighs and snorts] >> Oh, thank you.
What about a hotel? What about food? You got to rent a car. We can work it out.
Jenny, you're pregnant. You can't be running around Ireland. Dr. Wickman said that I could go if I had to. What about the shop?
Oh, Suzanne can run the showroom and Gary can run the jobs. You can call every day.
No way. Absolutely not.
There's nothing else I can do here.
>> There's nothing more you can do there.
I'm going. Well, then you're going alone.
I'll go.
Has everybody in this family lost their minds? Look, you are Jenny Cole. You are not Mary O'Neill. This is Kevin. He's your son, not Sonny, not Frank, not anybody else. This is the family I believe in. This life, this is what's real to me. I do not believe in reincarnation.
That means you don't believe in me.
>> [music] [music] >> Welcome to Malachi.
Right on.
You sure you know where [music] this hotel is?
Should be right around here.
Woah, woah, woah, woah.
On the side of the road. Watch where you're going. Sorry.
Go ahead.
Woah, Mom.
Still here.
What's still here? Put your seatbelt on.
Mom.
Where are you going?
We haven't checked into the hotel yet.
Oh my gosh.
Look at this.
She brought her children here every Sunday.
>> Hello, I'm Father Kelly. Can I help you?
Hello, Father. I'm Jenny Cole from America and this is my son, Kevin.
I spoke to you on the phone. Yes, yes, Mrs. Cole. It's so nice to meet you.
Hello, Kevin. Hey.
You've come to look through the old records.
If that's all right. Come with me to the house. I keep the records there.
The O'Neills, are they your family?
Not exactly.
How's it going?
You didn't find them. No. I'm sorry. Me, too.
Did you call the Hall of Records in Dublin? Maybe they can help you. I tried, but they didn't have anything, either.
Are you sure the family lived on Swords Road?
Yes.
Malahide's a small town.
Ask around. Maybe somebody knew them.
It looks like it should be around this corner.
Did any of this look familiar to you?
This is Swords Road.
I think this is where that cottage should be.
You sure?
Somewhere around here.
>> It's a long time ago, Mom. It looks like they tore down the old stuff.
Excuse me.
I'm Jenny Cole and I was wondering if I could ask you about family who used to live in this neighborhood.
No. All right. All right. Cool. Thank you.
Bye.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
I'm looking for the O'Neal family.
Excuse me, sir.
Hey, um my mom and I are No.
All right.
Thank you.
Well, thank you for your help.
No one's ever heard of them.
Yeah, it's [music] only been 2 days. We haven't asked everybody. Feels like we have.
Come on.
What are you doing?
I'll be right back.
>> Hello.
I'm Jenny Cole.
From the state. How are you?
You can always tell by the accent, huh?
Actually, I'm staying at the Dunleavy Inn. Do you live here in Malahide?
>> Yes.
Then maybe you can help me.
Depends on what you're looking for.
I'm looking for a family, the O'Neills, John and Mary.
They lived on Swords Road in the early 1930s. They had four children, Sonny, Jeffrey, Frank, and Elizabeth.
I'm afraid I I I I can't help you.
I came to Malahide 1952.
I was up north in Killybegs in Donegal before that.
Thanks, anyway.
Where are we going now?
Back to Swords Road.
I want to try again.
>> [crying] >> There's her baby, Elizabeth.
We're taking her to the hospital.
>> [crying] >> I loved you all so [crying] much.
And I want you to know that wherever you are, I'll always be watching over you.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom, jeez, what are you doing? You ran right into this guy.
I didn't see it.
All right, just stay here, okay? I'll take care of it.
Hey.
Sorry. Geez.
I don't think she even saw [music] you stop.
I'm really sorry, man.
Look, this is a rental car.
You're all right?
I have to find them.
Hello.
Dad, hey, it's Kevin. Hey Kev, what's up? Everything all right?
Um, >> [sighs and gasps] >> not really. We got in a car accident.
Mom was driving.
Is she all right?
Are you all right? Yeah, yeah, we're fine.
What happened?
We were just We were coming to this stop sign and she just kept going. She was like totally spaced out. It was like that time at Brian's, you know, but even worse.
Is she there? Yeah, she's back at the hotel. She's sleeping. Happened a few hours ago, so.
You didn't find them?
No, not yet. I thought um Nah.
Kevin, I want you to get on a plane and come home right now.
Dad, no. What do you mean no? Dad, I saw the church.
What church? The church in Malahide. In Mary's church. It looks exactly like the drawings Mom did. Kevin. She couldn't have drawn it unless she remembered it, okay? There's no way.
I think you should come here, Dad.
She needs you.
Hmm.
I don't >> Ah.
>> [sighs] >> I fell asleep. I know. Feel better?
Yeah.
I think I'll let you drive from now on.
Maybe your dad was right.
No.
Well, what else can we do?
We can go back to Swords Road.
It's a waste of time.
We can call every O'Neill in the phone book from here to Dublin. We've already done that.
We can go back to the church and go through the records again.
Kevin, there is no trace of a Mary O'Neill on Swords Road in Malahide.
There's nowhere else to look.
I'm going for a walk. Be back in a while.
All right.
Oh, Mrs. Cole.
Ah, we almost missed you.
Arthur McSweeney. [music] We met on the pier this morning.
I was worried about you after your accident. Are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine. I called some friends of mine straight away. Oh, sorry. This is Thomas Lee. Pleased to meet you.
Now, Thomas grew up on Swords [music] Road.
Few houses down from the family that you were looking for.
I knew Sunny.
>> Well, this was all marshland.
And there was a stream that ran on under a bridge up ahead.
Well, it's dried up now.
Like myself.
But years ago, all the families would bring their buckets down here for fresh water.
Where did you live? Oh, just just beyond the stream.
How many families were there? 20 in all.
A little cluster of cottages.
Uh just this way through here.
Uh you don't mind your heads on the branches now.
You know, we're nearly there.
This is where they lived.
She can't survive another pregnancy.
She won't live through it.
I said no. Do as I say. Leave her alone.
Tony, no.
Tony, no.
Where have you been?
I'll always watch over you.
>> Remember your promise, son.
Remember your promise.
Where did they go after Mary died?
I never knew.
But you're sure they lived here? [music] Oh, yeah.
First, the Suttons.
Then, the Duffys. Then, the [music] Brennans. You said Sutton.
It was Mary Sutton?
I thought it was O'Neal. Oh, no, no, no, no.
Sutton. John and Mary Sutton.
>> [singing] [music] [singing] [music] [singing] [music] [singing] >> Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
>> [music] [music] >> Okay.
Sorry, money.
>> [singing] [singing] [music] [music] [singing] [music] [music] [crying] >> It's Mary.
We found her.
It's you.
I missed you. Me, too.
Yes, so much.
Mr. Layton said the children were all baptized here, so there has to be a record of that. Well, now that you have the right name, the registration office will be able to help you find them. My cabin is in the other room.
Do you mind if I ask why you're you for a family that isn't exactly yours?
The Catholic Church doesn't believe in reincarnation, does it, Father?
No. But, that doesn't mean we won't accept the occasional miracle.
The rare extraordinary phenomenon.
I'll tell you what I believe.
I believe that the human soul does not die.
And while I don't personally think it can be born again, it may be possible in the most extraordinary of circumstances for one soul to speak through another.
The spirit of this woman could be speaking through you to find her children.
It's not exactly reincarnation, I know.
Think of it as a broader interpretation.
Hey, I got it. I found them. Look at this. Baptism records for all of them.
You're right. These are records of baptism.
Parents were John and Mary Sutton.
There were five children.
Phyllis, Elizabeth, Frank, Jeffrey, and John Jr. Well, that would be Sonny.
I'm afraid I don't know Sonny Sutton.
He's not a member of our congregation.
I don't recognize the other names, either.
He's not coming.
You don't know for sure it was Sonny that left those flowers on her grave.
No, I'm sure that it was.
It had to be.
No, I I'm afraid to find him.
I just don't want to disrupt his life with all this.
Let's go back to the hotel.
We'll try again tomorrow. Come on.
No, you go on.
I need a few more minutes.
>> [music] >> Mr. Sutton?
Mr. Sutton?
Sunny?
Do I know you?
No.
But I know a lot about you.
About your family, your mother and father and brothers and sisters.
You know my family?
You lived near Swords Road.
And you would take a boat across the bay and work in the fields.
And your mother be waiting on the shore when you came back.
Who are you?
I'm sorry, I'm not doing this well at all. My name is Jenny Cole and I'm from Allentown, Pennsylvania in the United States and I remember you and your family through dreams.
Great. And I And I was hoping that we could talk about that.
Mr. Sutton, please I I just want to talk to you, please.
>> But I don't want to talk to you.
I know this is difficult to understand, but I I just wanted to know that you were all right and I wanted to know about your brothers and sisters.
I don't know what happened to my brothers and sisters. I haven't seen them for 65 years.
But I thought that you were going to I don't want to know what you thought.
And I don't know who you are.
I I >> [clears throat] >> I'm not going to talk about my family, not to you, not to anyone else.
You say you know me, but you don't.
You don't know me at all.
I know you let the rabbit go.
Your mother was pregnant.
You and Elizabeth were with her in the butcher shop.
She had pain and you hurried to her side held her hand.
And then a woman called for water.
And when the butcher came, he he said, "Mrs. O'Neil?"
And your mother took the glass.
That's what made me think that your family name was O'Neil.
How can you remember my mother's life as though you were there when it happened?
Father Kelly believes that it's the soul the spirit of Mary speaking through me.
But now that I have the right name, we can find the others. You can talk to them, ask them to come to Malahide.
>> No.
No, I I I don't know what all this means, but it's too late now. It It's too late. Sonny, wait.
I can't see them.
I spoke to Frank again. He'll be here tomorrow morning, meet us at the church.
We spoke about you as well.
But he doesn't believe it. Not a word.
But he wants to see his family.
What about Sonny?
Every week he drives an hour to leave flowers on her grave.
But he won't come to the reunion.
I don't know why.
Train's already there.
That must be her.
Right then, let's go say hello.
Elizabeth Sutton? Yes. Hello, I'm Father Kelly. We spoke on the phone. Nice to meet you, Father. And this is Mrs. Cole, the woman I told you about.
Nice to meet you, Mrs. Cole.
It's Jenny.
Please call me Jenny.
Well, you can call me Bessie.
Bessie.
Hello Sonny.
May I talk to you, please?
Do you remember my father?
Yes.
They were hard memories.
To this day I I blame him for my mother's death.
I was afraid of him and the memories for a long time.
Now I just feel sorry for him.
I mean, he had a wonderful wife and family and he never loved them. He never shared their lives.
It sounds like my mother talking.
Sonny, I came here today to tell you that we found your brothers and sisters.
I'm afraid Jeffrey died 10 years ago.
We We have his death certificate.
But the others are still alive.
Phyllis moved to Wexford several years ago.
She's coming here tonight.
And Elizabeth arrived this morning on the train from Kilkenny.
And Frank's coming England tomorrow.
We're all meeting at the church. Oh.
No, no, no, Mrs. Cole.
Sonny, why won't you see them?
After my mother died, my father put us to work in the fields.
Hired us out.
The others were so little they couldn't do the work, and he beat them because of it.
He was always drunk and enraged.
So, one night, after he'd passed out, I took them to the orphanage.
They said they'd take my brothers and sisters, but that I was too old.
Sonny.
I knew they'd go to different homes. I knew I'd never find them.
But I didn't tell them that when I said goodbye.
I ran away.
Left them there.
Oh, I came back a few years later. I couldn't live with what I'd done.
But Dublin was so big.
So many people.
I had no money. I didn't know where to look.
I let my mother down.
I I them all down.
She was desperate.
She would never have asked so much of you.
You had no choice.
I promised her I'd keep the family together.
You have a chance to keep that promise now.
Come to the church.
Thank you for coming by, Mrs. Cole.
Father Kelly's here.
There's Elizabeth with them.
That must be Phyllis.
Can you tell them? What? She'll be right out?
Yeah. Everything's going to be fine, Jen.
Got to relax, Mom. You're making me nervous.
It's going to be okay.
What?
Mary always felt so guilty about leaving her children behind.
About not being there for them.
Maybe that's why I always wanted to keep you so close to me.
She never had the chance to watch him grow up.
I'm so lucky.
You should go to California, Kevin.
Actually, I was thinking maybe I'd stick around for the first year.
Go to Penn State or something. I mean I can come home for the weekends, be big brother, help out at the store and stuff.
I can always transfer.
You don't have to.
I know.
Let's go.
Dear God, is that Frank?
It must be him. Yeah. Come on, let's Kevin.
It's a visit that After all these years, I never thought we'd meet again.
You've done a glorious thing, Janine Cole.
However you explain it.
You've done a glorious thing.
>> It's so good to see you. You too, John.
Sonny.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> Sonny?
Elizabeth.
I promised.
Promised I promised.
Frank.
Frank.
Sonny.
>> [sighs and gasps] >> So, they want to pay for the violence.
Consultant.
McAllan's farm is just across the water.
I went to work there when I was 9 years old, I can still remember my mother waiting for us here when we came back across the bay.
Thank you for finding us.
Thank you for bringing us together.
You know, the last 2 days, it made me see that not all of the memories are painful.
Sometimes, before I went to work, my mother and I'd take a rowboat out on the bay.
Just the two of us alone on the water.
The sun coming up.
The water was so peaceful.
So beautiful.
Can you remember that, Jenny?
Oh, yes.
Oh, yes.
When I'm older, Mother, what kind of a man do you think I'll be?
Some people believe you're born the person you'll always be.
And yet, that's who I was as a child, and that is mine.
I think you'll be the kind of man you are now.
Gentle, caring, someone who loves people, and who people love.
I am so proud of you.
I love you with all my heart.
And I always will.
So, you made a decision? It's between Penn State and Bloomsburg. Bloomsburg.
Why?
>> You'll be home quicker on the weekends.
We're busy.
Oh, Doug.
>> [crying and laughter] >> Oh, there's my little angel. Hi, Allison. Hi, how are you?
Hi, sweetheart.
Kevin's taking such good care of you.
Yeah, I got to go.
Bye, Mom. Bye, sweetheart.
Bye, Grandma.
See you.
Hello.
This one's for you.
Oh.
Here, it's for Alice.
Hey, good looking.
Hey, she does this now. Yeah?
Whose idea, huh?
What?
Mine. Dear Jenny, I received the pictures of Allison in the mail today. I wanted to tell you what a beautiful baby girl she is.
I'm looking forward to meeting her when you come to Ireland next summer.
Frank, Betty and Phyllis said they'd all try to come as well.
And I'm sure they'll bring their families along this time.
I'm so glad [music] to be part of your life, Jenny.
I lost you once when I was a boy.
I don't want to lose you again.
I've sent you back a picture.
I found it in an old book I hadn't opened in years.
It's me mother.
I wanted you to have it.
Write soon.
Sonny.
Listen to my heart as it falls apart.
A dream and it leaves me in a place that [singing] only I know.
>> [music] >> To know my heart feels to follow a dream.
A dream that only I can know.
>> [music] >> A dream that only I can >> [music] >> know.
>> [singing] [singing] [music] >> Sing me >> [singing] >> home >> [music] >> and I am Sing me home >> [music]
