Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:02:57,294 --> 00:03:02,039
Temperature-wise, fairly cold.
Six, seven degrees, which is...
2
00:03:02,174 --> 00:03:05,757
What is it in Fahrenheit?
I don't know. Forty something?
3
00:03:05,886 --> 00:03:11,260
anyone has a nice formula then
they can write in and tell me, after this.
4
00:03:12,768 --> 00:03:15,603
How to transform Fahrenheit
into centigrade...
5
00:04:38,438 --> 00:04:41,937
...dirty protest and the blanket
protest has been going on for years,
6
00:04:42,066 --> 00:04:45,067
all in support of the same demand:
Political status.
7
00:04:45,195 --> 00:04:49,857
That is to say, different treatment
for people who commit crimes,
8
00:04:49,991 --> 00:04:53,158
hideous crimes, for what they claim
to be a political motive.
9
00:04:53,286 --> 00:04:55,325
And that is what
the government will not grant.
10
00:05:42,628 --> 00:05:46,211
About an hour later there's a painful cry
coming from the granny's room.
11
00:05:46,340 --> 00:05:48,214
So the Da walks up and opens the door,
12
00:05:48,342 --> 00:05:51,212
and there's the wee fella
having a go at the granny.
13
00:05:51,345 --> 00:05:55,212
And he turns round and goes, "It's not
so fucking funny when it's your Ma!"
14
00:09:11,088 --> 00:09:14,291
There is no such thing
as political murder,
15
00:09:14,425 --> 00:09:17,758
political bombing or political violence.
16
00:09:17,886 --> 00:09:22,300
There is only criminal murder,
criminal bombing and criminal violence.
17
00:09:24,060 --> 00:09:27,475
We will not compromise on this.
18
00:09:27,605 --> 00:09:30,689
There will be no political status.
19
00:10:03,475 --> 00:10:06,012
I will not wear the uniform of a criminal.
20
00:10:07,103 --> 00:10:09,641
I demand to wear me own clothes.
21
00:14:45,175 --> 00:14:46,835
What?
22
00:14:51,432 --> 00:14:53,471
Say what your surname is again.
23
00:14:55,477 --> 00:14:57,351
- Gillen.
- Gillen?
24
00:14:57,479 --> 00:14:58,973
Aye.
25
00:14:59,731 --> 00:15:01,439
Fancy Quinn.
26
00:15:03,528 --> 00:15:06,232
Falls Road. Fancy Quinn.
Do you know him?
27
00:15:09,033 --> 00:15:10,527
- No.
- No?
28
00:15:16,373 --> 00:15:20,241
- How long did you get?
- Twelve years.
29
00:15:23,714 --> 00:15:25,458
You?
30
00:15:30,346 --> 00:15:31,757
Six years. Six.
31
00:15:31,890 --> 00:15:35,056
- Six?
- Aye.
32
00:15:38,521 --> 00:15:40,098
You lucky bastard.
33
00:21:01,096 --> 00:21:02,971
All right?
34
00:21:03,099 --> 00:21:05,008
- How are you? OK?
- Yeah.
35
00:21:05,143 --> 00:21:07,349
How's Ma?
36
00:23:06,223 --> 00:23:10,884
...engineering union. It's by
the political advisor to Merlyn Rees,
37
00:23:11,019 --> 00:23:13,725
when he was at the Home Office,
Roger Darlington.
38
00:23:13,856 --> 00:23:16,181
He rejects the official line
on phone taps,
39
00:23:16,317 --> 00:23:18,689
that there's only been
a modest overall increase,
40
00:23:18,819 --> 00:23:22,484
and says Parliament has no way
of knowing how much tapping goes on,
41
00:23:22,614 --> 00:23:25,152
because the Prime Minister
and other senior ministers
42
00:23:25,283 --> 00:23:28,700
Don't even have to get warrants
to get a tap put into effect.
43
00:26:16,373 --> 00:26:17,783
What?
44
00:26:19,502 --> 00:26:21,625
Get ready.
45
00:27:42,043 --> 00:27:44,082
Fuck!
46
00:31:07,042 --> 00:31:10,493
...she sends
her very, very best to you.
47
00:31:13,506 --> 00:31:15,582
Are you all right, Bobby?
48
00:31:15,717 --> 00:31:17,793
I'm grand, Ma.
49
00:31:18,845 --> 00:31:21,419
Are they giving you treatment for that?
50
00:31:21,557 --> 00:31:23,763
It's being looked after.
51
00:31:26,645 --> 00:31:28,472
And the young fella?
52
00:31:29,648 --> 00:31:31,640
He's a handful, I'll tell you that.
53
00:31:33,610 --> 00:31:36,446
- Are you eating all right?
- I'm grand, Ma.
54
00:31:36,572 --> 00:31:40,320
- Are they feeding you all right?
- Don't yous be worrying about me.
55
00:31:42,661 --> 00:31:44,452
Five minutes.
56
00:31:45,956 --> 00:31:47,498
Five minutes.
57
00:31:50,085 --> 00:31:52,125
- You eating all right?
- Aye.
58
00:31:52,254 --> 00:31:55,255
- Tastes like shit though doesn't it?
- You get used to it.
59
00:32:01,012 --> 00:32:02,720
You're looking well.
60
00:32:04,892 --> 00:32:06,801
So are you, son.
61
00:32:06,936 --> 00:32:08,845
So are you.
62
00:32:14,818 --> 00:32:17,356
The eyes of the Lord
are on the righteous.
63
00:32:17,487 --> 00:32:20,442
And his ears are attentive to their cries.
64
00:32:20,574 --> 00:32:23,409
The face of the Lord is against
those who do evil.
65
00:32:25,412 --> 00:32:28,662
The righteous cry out,
and the Lord hears them.
66
00:32:28,791 --> 00:32:32,207
He delivers them from all their troubles.
67
00:32:32,337 --> 00:32:35,207
The Lord is close
to the broken-hearted
68
00:32:35,339 --> 00:32:38,459
and saves those
who are crushed in spirit.
69
00:32:38,592 --> 00:32:41,130
The righteous man has many troubles.
70
00:32:41,262 --> 00:32:43,931
But the Lord delivers him from them all.
71
00:32:44,056 --> 00:32:46,095
He protects all his bones,
72
00:32:46,434 --> 00:32:49,055
and not one of them will be broken.
73
00:32:51,689 --> 00:32:53,847
Evil will slay the wicked.
74
00:32:54,734 --> 00:32:57,818
The foes of the righteous
will be condemned.
75
00:32:57,945 --> 00:33:01,149
The Lord redeems his servants.
76
00:33:01,282 --> 00:33:04,983
No one will be condemned
who finds refuge in him.
77
00:33:12,501 --> 00:33:13,995
Let us pray.
78
00:36:29,909 --> 00:36:32,780
Fucking shoes matches the wall.
79
00:37:15,246 --> 00:37:17,156
Fucking dirty bastards!
80
00:37:17,290 --> 00:37:20,790
- Fucking bastards!
- Fucking dirty bastards!
81
00:37:42,399 --> 00:37:45,316
I... I... IRA!
82
00:37:45,444 --> 00:37:48,564
I... I... IRA!
83
00:37:48,698 --> 00:37:49,942
Fucking bullshit!
84
00:38:40,041 --> 00:38:41,700
Everything in order?
85
00:38:41,834 --> 00:38:43,707
Yes, sir. In order, sir.
86
00:38:43,836 --> 00:38:45,378
Very good.
87
00:40:35,615 --> 00:40:37,988
Gerry! Gerry!
88
00:40:45,584 --> 00:40:47,078
Gerry!
89
00:41:05,979 --> 00:41:09,229
Get the fuck off me!
90
00:41:14,196 --> 00:41:17,031
Shit. Shit!
91
00:41:17,158 --> 00:41:20,526
Gerry! Gerry!
92
00:41:59,534 --> 00:42:02,155
Get off me, you fucking...
93
00:44:04,702 --> 00:44:07,572
Tea with two sugars, please.
94
00:44:13,585 --> 00:44:15,661
Hi, Mum.
95
00:44:27,850 --> 00:44:30,935
What are you doing sitting in here?
96
00:44:58,923 --> 00:45:00,334
Daisies.
97
00:45:14,231 --> 00:45:18,098
Out! Out! Everybody!
98
00:45:54,062 --> 00:45:55,935
You can sit down anytime you like.
99
00:45:56,064 --> 00:45:59,065
Priest etiquette.
Never sit before you're asked.
100
00:45:59,193 --> 00:46:00,817
Sit down, then.
101
00:46:00,944 --> 00:46:03,020
I don't want to come over too eager.
102
00:46:03,155 --> 00:46:05,610
What, best to hover at the door?
103
00:46:05,740 --> 00:46:09,156
You learn that in your first week
in the seminary, Bobby.
104
00:46:14,458 --> 00:46:17,578
- Cig?
- Come on.
105
00:46:20,922 --> 00:46:23,627
Bit of a break
from smoking the Bible, eh?
106
00:46:23,758 --> 00:46:25,799
Oh, aye.
107
00:46:28,806 --> 00:46:31,890
Anyone work out which book
is the best smoke?
108
00:46:32,017 --> 00:46:34,057
We only smoke the Lamentations.
109
00:46:34,186 --> 00:46:36,641
A right miserable cigarette.
110
00:46:36,772 --> 00:46:38,848
Nice room.
111
00:46:38,982 --> 00:46:40,976
Very clean.
112
00:46:41,110 --> 00:46:44,064
- Where is it you're from again, Dom?
- Born, you mean?
113
00:46:44,196 --> 00:46:47,067
- Bally-go-backwards.
- Oh, the city dog.
114
00:46:47,199 --> 00:46:48,693
Ballyroberts.
115
00:46:48,826 --> 00:46:52,111
A wee place south of Ballymoney.
Kilrea.
116
00:46:53,372 --> 00:46:55,780
I remember a homily you did
at Mass one time.
117
00:46:55,917 --> 00:46:57,624
Oh, will you listen to it?
118
00:46:57,752 --> 00:47:01,370
- The men hold you in very high esteem.
- I can feel a dig coming on.
119
00:47:01,505 --> 00:47:03,581
- You're very quick.
- Right.
120
00:47:03,716 --> 00:47:06,171
Nah, you're respected, you know that.
121
00:47:06,301 --> 00:47:09,173
But I like those stories you tell
about the countryside.
122
00:47:09,305 --> 00:47:12,923
A childhood of poaching,
robbing apples, stampeding cattle.
123
00:47:13,059 --> 00:47:16,926
- A fine education for a priest.
- A priest working West Belfast, it is.
124
00:47:17,063 --> 00:47:19,304
Stampeding comes in handy
down the Falls Road.
125
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,728
- hate me.
- You miss it, though?
126
00:47:21,859 --> 00:47:23,852
- What?
- Countryside.
127
00:47:23,987 --> 00:47:27,438
Ah, sure I get home to see my wee
brother every month or so, but...
128
00:47:27,573 --> 00:47:31,322
Aye, I miss the usual.
Clean air. Space. All that.
129
00:47:31,452 --> 00:47:35,236
- Feels closer to who you are.
- Aye, well, it is. No question.
130
00:47:37,082 --> 00:47:39,954
Like a fish out of water,
working in a big city like Belfast,
131
00:47:40,086 --> 00:47:41,995
but it's a job, isn't it?
132
00:47:43,381 --> 00:47:45,623
You stop looking
at your surroundings quick enough
133
00:47:45,758 --> 00:47:49,257
when you figure your business is
the business of the soul and all.
134
00:47:49,387 --> 00:47:51,925
- Business of the soul?
- Ah, you know what I mean.
135
00:47:52,057 --> 00:47:56,386
- Learn that in the seminary, too?
- Aye. You can use that free of charge.
136
00:47:56,519 --> 00:47:58,512
Go on.
137
00:47:58,646 --> 00:48:02,940
Well, I suppose what I'm saying is...
you get on.
138
00:48:03,067 --> 00:48:04,894
Kilrea can wait till I'm an old man.
139
00:48:05,027 --> 00:48:07,602
Too many scoundrels to be saved
in Belfast, anyway.
140
00:48:07,739 --> 00:48:10,444
- Busy work. Aye.
- God will reward you in Heaven.
141
00:48:10,575 --> 00:48:14,359
And I'll be thankful,
once there's wine involved.
142
00:48:16,664 --> 00:48:19,155
So what does your wee brother do
back home?
143
00:48:21,503 --> 00:48:23,460
He's a parish priest.
144
00:48:25,799 --> 00:48:28,468
He's a sneaky wee bastard.
You know the sort, Bobby.
145
00:48:28,593 --> 00:48:31,214
- Still goes poaching?
- Poaching jobs.
146
00:48:31,346 --> 00:48:33,967
And he's younger than me
by eight years all right.
147
00:48:34,098 --> 00:48:36,341
Go on.
148
00:48:36,476 --> 00:48:40,474
Well, as a cleric I work
in a parish beside Kilrea.
149
00:48:40,605 --> 00:48:42,930
A wee hole of a place.
I'm working me arse off.
150
00:48:43,066 --> 00:48:45,983
House calls to the elderly,
mobile confessions.
151
00:48:46,111 --> 00:48:48,103
- The glamour stuff.
- Oh, aye.
152
00:48:48,238 --> 00:48:52,153
- So... a position comes up at Kilrea.
- Right.
153
00:48:52,284 --> 00:48:55,404
And I'm passed over for some reason
or other. No reason probably.
154
00:48:55,537 --> 00:48:58,028
- Too much cake off the old ladies?
- Probably.
155
00:48:58,165 --> 00:48:59,707
So?
156
00:48:59,833 --> 00:49:03,831
So about five years later, the position
again comes up back home in Kilrea.
157
00:49:03,963 --> 00:49:08,589
And my brother Michael
waltzes right into it.
158
00:49:08,717 --> 00:49:10,128
Fuck.
159
00:49:11,428 --> 00:49:13,835
He's made parish priest at 28.
160
00:49:13,972 --> 00:49:17,092
More spiritual probably.
Less lippy than you.
161
00:49:17,225 --> 00:49:20,595
He worked the Bishop. He's a golfer.
162
00:49:20,729 --> 00:49:22,722
He's a pushy little twerp is what he is.
163
00:49:22,856 --> 00:49:25,347
- At least you're not bitter.
- No, I couldn't be that.
164
00:49:25,484 --> 00:49:27,975
Parish priest at 28? Fantastic.
165
00:49:28,111 --> 00:49:31,231
Hmm. He has two cars.
166
00:49:31,364 --> 00:49:33,488
And the house he has is massive.
167
00:49:33,618 --> 00:49:35,444
He has a maid, a cook.
168
00:49:35,578 --> 00:49:37,487
I'm stuck in a two-up-two-down,
169
00:49:37,621 --> 00:49:40,907
with a fat Kerry man who drones
on and on about Gaelic football.
170
00:49:41,041 --> 00:49:44,706
- Can we stop talking about this?
- Jesus, you're the one who's talking.
171
00:49:47,340 --> 00:49:49,416
- How's your smoke going?
- Grand.
172
00:49:49,550 --> 00:49:51,258
Hmm. Filthy habit. Disgusting.
173
00:49:51,385 --> 00:49:53,591
Oh, aye, awful. Lovely, though.
174
00:49:53,721 --> 00:49:55,678
Aye. Praise the Lord.
175
00:49:59,518 --> 00:50:03,351
- 28... My God!
- Oh, stop it.
176
00:50:05,358 --> 00:50:07,434
So what happened to your eye, Bobby?
177
00:50:07,568 --> 00:50:09,027
What?
178
00:50:09,153 --> 00:50:11,822
- Get a dig? Your eye?
- Difference of opinion.
179
00:50:11,947 --> 00:50:15,732
- Hmm. How's the other fella?
- A lot worse, believe me.
180
00:50:17,287 --> 00:50:19,078
So. What did you call me here for?
181
00:50:19,205 --> 00:50:23,249
- Why, is that the idle banter over?
- Priest etiquette. Small talk first.
182
00:50:23,376 --> 00:50:25,534
I'm learning a lot about the priesthood.
183
00:50:25,669 --> 00:50:27,995
- You'd make a fine priest.
- Oh, aye.
184
00:50:28,130 --> 00:50:30,207
Good talker. Man of principle.
Leader of men.
185
00:50:30,342 --> 00:50:33,924
- Political terrorist.
- The church loves a reformed crook.
186
00:50:34,053 --> 00:50:35,713
Aye.
187
00:50:37,181 --> 00:50:40,431
I always felt that thief next to Jesus
got off lightly.
188
00:50:40,559 --> 00:50:42,682
Ah, but he recognised his sins.
189
00:50:42,812 --> 00:50:44,852
- Did he, though?
- Aye. Said as much.
190
00:50:44,981 --> 00:50:47,650
When you're hung from a cross,
you'll say anything.
191
00:50:47,776 --> 00:50:50,942
Jesus offers him a seat next to daddy
in a place called paradise.
192
00:50:51,070 --> 00:50:54,024
You're always gonna put your hand up
for piece of that.
193
00:50:54,157 --> 00:50:56,363
Even when it's nailed to your cross.
194
00:50:56,492 --> 00:50:58,818
Jesus Christ. That's sacrilegious.
195
00:50:58,954 --> 00:51:02,073
Sacrilegious?
No, no, no, he was a dirty thief.
196
00:51:04,584 --> 00:51:07,668
So. What do you want to tell me?
197
00:51:07,795 --> 00:51:09,918
Where are you at?
198
00:51:10,048 --> 00:51:12,799
Been driven mad by that governor yet?
199
00:51:12,926 --> 00:51:15,215
See this negotiating lark?
200
00:51:15,345 --> 00:51:18,097
It's been a sideshow.
I'll tell you that for nothing.
201
00:51:18,223 --> 00:51:20,262
But you understand
why you need to do it?
202
00:51:20,392 --> 00:51:22,550
Because we're no longer
good propaganda.
203
00:51:22,685 --> 00:51:24,892
According to who? The leadership?
204
00:51:26,439 --> 00:51:28,314
The time has come.
205
00:51:28,442 --> 00:51:30,683
A decision had to be made.
206
00:51:31,945 --> 00:51:34,270
You think that's
what the leadership think?
207
00:51:34,406 --> 00:51:37,157
- Maybe. I don't know.
- Bit paranoid there, Bobby.
208
00:51:40,578 --> 00:51:44,446
Ten thousand people marched for
the seven hunger strikers last October.
209
00:51:44,583 --> 00:51:46,990
- International pressure on the Brits.
- Busy time.
210
00:51:47,127 --> 00:51:49,665
Even the Pope's having a say.
Getting involved.
211
00:51:49,796 --> 00:51:53,046
The whole world, trying to get Thatcher
to give us our demands.
212
00:51:53,174 --> 00:51:55,926
- But it all came to nothing.
- Right.
213
00:51:56,053 --> 00:51:59,386
Hunger strike failed.
We're on the front line.
214
00:51:59,515 --> 00:52:03,097
We created the protest.
It's our responsibility.
215
00:52:03,226 --> 00:52:05,552
Leadership have been
very clear to me, Dom.
216
00:52:05,687 --> 00:52:07,929
Four and a half years
of the no-wash protest,
217
00:52:08,064 --> 00:52:10,390
as much as it's highlighted
Republicanism,
218
00:52:10,526 --> 00:52:13,443
it's also distracted from the development
of the organisation.
219
00:52:13,571 --> 00:52:15,480
Because your needs are specific.
220
00:52:15,614 --> 00:52:17,025
Of course they are.
221
00:52:17,157 --> 00:52:19,992
Some woman bringing up
three children in West Belfast
222
00:52:20,118 --> 00:52:24,698
shouldn't care about civilian clothing
or whatever they call these clown outfits.
223
00:52:24,832 --> 00:52:29,375
Honest to God. We were promised our
own clothes. It's childish skulduggery.
224
00:52:29,503 --> 00:52:32,076
So the leadership have had
enough of you?
225
00:52:33,757 --> 00:52:35,880
In the ideal world,
226
00:52:36,009 --> 00:52:39,213
we'd be fighting our battles
independently, but we're tied.
227
00:52:39,347 --> 00:52:42,550
Nothing's changed in here.
The leadership are stuck with us
228
00:52:42,683 --> 00:52:46,930
until there's some realistic chance
of political status, that's the hard truth.
229
00:52:47,062 --> 00:52:50,312
See, to get me to negotiate
with these lying, reneging monkeys
230
00:52:50,441 --> 00:52:53,062
when there's never nothing
on the table, it's pure crap.
231
00:52:53,193 --> 00:52:55,234
I'm not gonna be marched
into this Governor's office
232
00:52:55,363 --> 00:52:59,111
and get caught up in some pointless
dialogue with that pompous bastard.
233
00:52:59,241 --> 00:53:02,242
- Well, he's a big fan of yours.
- Thick as two short planks.
234
00:53:02,369 --> 00:53:05,370
Can you believe they made him
Governor? Bloody insult to humanity!
235
00:53:05,497 --> 00:53:08,168
Mother of Jesus, where do you get
your energy from?
236
00:53:09,294 --> 00:53:11,370
I was a cross-country runner as a boy.
237
00:53:12,088 --> 00:53:14,923
I could have guessed it.
Big engine on you.
238
00:53:15,633 --> 00:53:20,627
Cross-country running.
Explains a lot about you, Bobby.
239
00:53:20,763 --> 00:53:24,298
Why, I loved it, so I did.
That's the whole country thing for me.
240
00:53:24,434 --> 00:53:28,348
Jesus, they to hold me back at
the finishing line or I'd keep on running.
241
00:53:28,479 --> 00:53:31,314
Little scraps.
We were mongrels from out of the city.
242
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,978
Frightened of cattle and all.
It was a funny time.
243
00:53:34,110 --> 00:53:36,732
- Frightened of cattle?
- Aye, terrified of them.
244
00:53:36,863 --> 00:53:41,110
Think you could get milk and burgers
from them monsters? Jesus Christ!
245
00:53:43,828 --> 00:53:47,612
The next time round I'll be born
in the countryside. Guaranteed.
246
00:53:47,748 --> 00:53:49,824
Wildlife. Birds.
247
00:53:49,959 --> 00:53:52,202
I love all that. Paradise.
248
00:53:52,337 --> 00:53:55,955
Aye, and you could learn to relax, too.
249
00:53:56,091 --> 00:53:58,926
Aye. Maybe. You never know.
250
00:53:59,052 --> 00:54:01,175
Never tried it before.
251
00:54:02,388 --> 00:54:05,223
I'm starting a hunger strike
on the first of March.
252
00:54:07,227 --> 00:54:10,228
That's why you're here.
That's what I'm telling you.
253
00:54:10,355 --> 00:54:12,644
Aye. I heard that.
254
00:54:16,319 --> 00:54:19,403
- Does your family know?
- I got word out to them, aye.
255
00:54:19,530 --> 00:54:23,030
- Have you spoken with them?
- Got a visit in two weeks. Talk then.
256
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:27,952
- How do you think they'll take it?
- What do you think, Dom?
257
00:54:28,081 --> 00:54:30,120
And your wee boy?
258
00:54:48,602 --> 00:54:52,267
So, what makes it different
from the last time?
259
00:54:54,399 --> 00:54:57,768
The last hunger strike was flawed.
It became emotional.
260
00:54:57,903 --> 00:55:00,144
Seven men started at the same time.
261
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,687
They got weak and couldn't let
the weakest die,
262
00:55:02,825 --> 00:55:06,525
which left us susceptible to be conned
by the Brits, and that's what we were.
263
00:55:06,662 --> 00:55:08,073
Conned.
264
00:55:08,205 --> 00:55:11,574
This time out, the men will start
consecutively, two weeks apart.
265
00:55:11,708 --> 00:55:13,617
Somebody dies, they'll be replaced.
266
00:55:13,752 --> 00:55:16,836
There's no shortage of us.
Seventy-five men have signed up.
267
00:55:16,963 --> 00:55:19,206
Oh, for Christ's sake...
268
00:55:19,342 --> 00:55:21,832
The announcement's being made today.
269
00:55:25,055 --> 00:55:29,633
So what makes this protest different
is that you're set to die, Bobby?
270
00:55:29,768 --> 00:55:31,726
It may well come to that.
271
00:55:31,854 --> 00:55:34,938
You start a hunger strike to protest
for what you believe in.
272
00:55:35,066 --> 00:55:39,229
You don't start already determined
to die, or am I missing something here?
273
00:55:39,361 --> 00:55:44,319
It's in their hands. Our message is clear.
They're seeing our determination.
274
00:55:44,449 --> 00:55:47,700
So it'll take a couple of deaths,
do you think? Maybe five or six?
275
00:55:47,829 --> 00:55:49,868
But sure, there's seventy-five of you.
276
00:55:49,997 --> 00:55:52,073
Aye well, it won't come to that.
277
00:55:52,208 --> 00:55:55,742
All right, maybe the Brits will buckle
after twenty or so.
278
00:55:55,878 --> 00:55:59,163
But why should you care,
cos you're already dead, right?
279
00:56:08,808 --> 00:56:12,307
Have you thought about
what you'll put these boys through?
280
00:56:12,436 --> 00:56:15,806
Putting aside what's going to happen
to these poor men's families.
281
00:56:15,940 --> 00:56:19,689
You're up against a British government
who clearly despises Republicanism,
282
00:56:19,819 --> 00:56:21,728
who are unshakable.
283
00:56:21,863 --> 00:56:25,314
Who can easily live with the deaths
of what they call terrorists.
284
00:56:25,449 --> 00:56:27,406
The stakes are much higher this time.
285
00:56:27,535 --> 00:56:28,945
I know that.
286
00:56:29,079 --> 00:56:32,862
And if you're not willing to negotiate,
you want them to capitulate?
287
00:56:32,999 --> 00:56:36,368
- Right.
- So failure means many dead men.
288
00:56:36,502 --> 00:56:38,542
Families torn apart.
289
00:56:38,671 --> 00:56:40,913
And the whole
Republican Movement demoralised.
290
00:56:41,048 --> 00:56:46,044
Worse case scenario, it might well mean
all that. But short term, out of the ashes.
291
00:56:46,179 --> 00:56:50,224
Guaranteed there'll be a new generation,
even more resilient, determined...
292
00:56:50,350 --> 00:56:52,426
- Look who you're talking to.
- There's a war going on.
293
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:55,051
I thought you might understand.
You're talking like a foreigner.
294
00:56:55,188 --> 00:56:57,726
You're talking to me like one.
You think I don't know Northern Ireland?
295
00:56:57,858 --> 00:56:59,767
- I live here, man.
- Then support us.
296
00:56:59,901 --> 00:57:04,195
I supported the first hunger strike
on the basis it was a protest.
297
00:57:04,322 --> 00:57:07,656
Not some predesign to die
and balk at negotiation,
298
00:57:07,784 --> 00:57:11,828
other than surrender from Thatcher.
That's ridiculous, Bobby, it's destructive.
299
00:57:11,954 --> 00:57:16,000
What's happening here for the last
four years? The brutality, humiliation.
300
00:57:16,126 --> 00:57:19,210
Our basic human rights taken away.
All of this has to stop.
301
00:57:19,337 --> 00:57:21,045
Through talking.
302
00:57:21,172 --> 00:57:24,837
So what?
We take their offer, put their uniform on?
303
00:57:24,968 --> 00:57:27,341
Cos the last four years
have meant nothing?
304
00:57:27,471 --> 00:57:30,970
We could do that, Dom, or we could
behave like the army we proclaim to be
305
00:57:31,099 --> 00:57:33,139
and lay down our lives
for our comrades.
306
00:57:33,268 --> 00:57:35,806
Is there not even a small part of you
hoping for a breakthrough?
307
00:57:35,937 --> 00:57:37,930
That could find you negotiating again?
308
00:57:38,064 --> 00:57:40,555
- That won't happen.
- Right, forget about that.
309
00:57:40,692 --> 00:57:44,821
I want to know whether your intent
is just purely to commit suicide here.
310
00:57:48,825 --> 00:57:51,862
You want me to argue about
the morality of what I'm about to do
311
00:57:51,995 --> 00:57:55,531
and whether it's really suicide or not?
312
00:57:55,666 --> 00:57:58,537
For one, you're calling it suicide.
I call it murder.
313
00:57:58,669 --> 00:58:00,958
And that's just another
wee difference between us.
314
00:58:01,088 --> 00:58:03,330
We're both Catholic men. Republicans.
315
00:58:03,465 --> 00:58:05,754
But while you were poaching salmon
in lovely Kilrea,
316
00:58:05,884 --> 00:58:07,793
we were being burnt out
of our house in Rathcoole.
317
00:58:07,928 --> 00:58:11,878
Similar in many ways, but experiences
focussed our beliefs differently.
318
00:58:12,016 --> 00:58:13,724
- Understand me?
- I understand.
319
00:58:13,851 --> 00:58:17,765
I have my belief. And in all its simplicity
that is a most powerful thing.
320
00:58:19,731 --> 00:58:22,269
So, what's your statement by dying?
321
00:58:23,485 --> 00:58:26,689
Just highlighting British intransigence,
so fucking what?
322
00:58:26,822 --> 00:58:28,696
Everyone knows what the Brits are like.
323
00:58:28,824 --> 00:58:31,825
- Good.
- It is good and nothing to do with you.
324
00:58:31,952 --> 00:58:34,525
The Brits have been fucking up
everything for centuries.
325
00:58:34,663 --> 00:58:36,323
I can feel your hatred, Dom.
326
00:58:36,456 --> 00:58:38,664
- Are you looking for martyrdom?
- No.
327
00:58:38,793 --> 00:58:40,287
- Are you sure?
- Aye.
328
00:58:40,420 --> 00:58:44,547
Cos I've heard you eulogising
Wolfe Tone, Connolly, MacSwiney...
329
00:58:44,674 --> 00:58:48,338
I can't help think you're writing
your name for all them history books.
330
00:58:48,469 --> 00:58:50,960
- Cos you think that matters to me?
- I know it does.
331
00:58:51,096 --> 00:58:53,256
Well, you're wrong.
332
00:58:54,517 --> 00:58:59,558
You say you're soldiers,
it's all about the freedom.
333
00:58:59,689 --> 00:59:02,725
But you've got no appreciation
of a life, Bobby.
334
00:59:02,858 --> 00:59:05,942
You no longer know
what a life is, you men.
335
00:59:06,070 --> 00:59:09,689
Four years living in these conditions,
no one expects you to be normal.
336
00:59:09,824 --> 00:59:12,149
There's nothing normal about you.
337
00:59:13,578 --> 00:59:17,278
Right now, the Republican Movement
has talked itself into a corner.
338
00:59:17,415 --> 00:59:21,413
You IRA are standing right behind it
looking into that corner.
339
00:59:21,545 --> 00:59:26,123
All that history, all them dead men
and women. You're still seeing nothing.
340
00:59:26,257 --> 00:59:29,591
When your answer's to kill everything,
you've blinded yourselves
341
00:59:29,719 --> 00:59:32,636
and you're scared to stop it.
342
00:59:33,598 --> 00:59:36,765
Afraid of living.
Afraid of talk and peace.
343
00:59:36,893 --> 00:59:40,891
Sure, what would Ulster be
if it wasn't tearing itself to shit?
344
00:59:42,065 --> 00:59:44,188
And this situation here.
345
00:59:44,317 --> 00:59:47,899
That the future of the Republican
Movement is in the hands of you men
346
00:59:48,029 --> 00:59:51,066
who've lost all... all sense of reality.
347
00:59:52,367 --> 00:59:55,570
You think your head's on right?
348
00:59:55,704 --> 00:59:58,621
Locked up in here twenty-four hours
a day in piss and shit,
349
00:59:58,748 --> 01:00:01,832
and you are making decisions
that could see so many men die.
350
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:04,497
Build a statue to Bobby Sands!
351
01:00:04,630 --> 01:00:07,299
You're joking me. Freedom Fighter?
352
01:00:08,550 --> 01:00:11,919
They're the men and women working
out there in the community.
353
01:00:12,053 --> 01:00:15,090
And that was you,
once upon a time, am I right?
354
01:00:15,223 --> 01:00:18,010
All that work you did in Twinbrook.
355
01:00:18,142 --> 01:00:22,188
That's where we need you, Bobby.
And you know I'm right.
356
01:00:23,649 --> 01:00:26,649
That I'm deluded...
you want me to answer that?
357
01:00:26,776 --> 01:00:28,816
They're beating you.
You're playing into their hands.
358
01:00:28,945 --> 01:00:32,231
- The strategy's in place.
- Then stop it. Just say stop.
359
01:00:32,365 --> 01:00:36,150
- You don't understand a thing.
- You're in no shape to make this call.
360
01:00:36,286 --> 01:00:38,908
It's done. It won't be stopped.
361
01:00:39,039 --> 01:00:42,123
Then fuck it, life must mean
nothing to you.
362
01:00:43,502 --> 01:00:46,075
God's going to punish me?
363
01:00:51,468 --> 01:00:56,925
Well, if not just for the suicide, then
he'd have to punish you for stupidity.
364
01:00:59,059 --> 01:01:02,974
Aye. And you for your arrogance.
365
01:01:03,105 --> 01:01:06,889
Cos my life is a real life,
not some theological exercise,
366
01:01:07,026 --> 01:01:10,809
some religious trick that's
got fuck all to do with living.
367
01:01:10,946 --> 01:01:15,074
Jesus Christ had a backbone, but see
them disciples, every disciple since,
368
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:18,985
you're just jumping in and out
of the rhetoric and dead-end semantics.
369
01:01:19,121 --> 01:01:23,830
You need the revolutionary, the political
soldier, to give life a pulse, direction...
370
01:01:23,959 --> 01:01:27,126
- That's stupid talk. You're deluded.
- Aye, so you say.
371
01:01:27,254 --> 01:01:30,208
- And what's your wee son going to say?
- Fuck off.
372
01:01:30,340 --> 01:01:32,168
Doesn't that interest you?
373
01:01:32,301 --> 01:01:35,919
You're going to attack me
with sentiment? Typical priest.
374
01:01:36,055 --> 01:01:38,628
- What's your heart saying?
- I thought you'd me all figured out.
375
01:01:38,766 --> 01:01:41,138
What's it saying? Tell me.
376
01:01:45,190 --> 01:01:49,104
My life means everything to me.
Freedom means everything.
377
01:01:49,235 --> 01:01:52,770
I know you don't mean to mock me,
Dom, so I'll just let all that pass.
378
01:01:54,198 --> 01:01:57,033
This is one of these times
when we've come to a pause.
379
01:01:57,159 --> 01:01:59,532
It's a time to keep your beliefs pure.
380
01:01:59,662 --> 01:02:03,197
I believe that a united Ireland
is right and just.
381
01:02:04,500 --> 01:02:07,834
Maybe it's impossible
for a man like you to understand,
382
01:02:07,962 --> 01:02:11,378
but having a respect for my life,
a desire for freedom,
383
01:02:11,507 --> 01:02:14,177
an unyielding love for that belief,
384
01:02:14,302 --> 01:02:17,256
means I can see past
any doubts I may have.
385
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:22,055
Putting my life on the line is not just
the only thing I can do, Dom.
386
01:02:22,185 --> 01:02:24,592
It's the right thing.
387
01:02:28,942 --> 01:02:31,148
And this is why you've called me here?
388
01:02:32,445 --> 01:02:36,194
Needed a sounding board? Not
a hundred per cent sure of yourself?
389
01:02:36,324 --> 01:02:38,281
Been doubting yourself maybe?
390
01:02:38,409 --> 01:02:41,529
Aye. Well, I'm only human.
391
01:02:41,662 --> 01:02:44,415
And I've made it clear for you, then?
392
01:02:46,126 --> 01:02:50,206
Man of guidance, Dom,
"business of the soul".
393
01:03:01,349 --> 01:03:04,469
You've been to Gweedore in Donegal?
394
01:03:05,562 --> 01:03:07,056
Aye.
395
01:03:14,863 --> 01:03:17,069
I went there when I was twelve.
396
01:03:19,075 --> 01:03:21,317
Big cross-country race for the boys,
397
01:03:21,453 --> 01:03:25,533
and we're all in the back of a minibus
headed towards Derry one morning.
398
01:03:26,792 --> 01:03:29,034
I mean, this is big time.
399
01:03:29,169 --> 01:03:31,292
This is like international athletics
for us,
400
01:03:31,421 --> 01:03:34,506
cos we're racing against boys
in the South
401
01:03:34,633 --> 01:03:37,302
and we have this thing
to do Belfast proud.
402
01:03:39,262 --> 01:03:43,308
Two of the boys are Prods
and the rest of us are Catholics.
403
01:03:43,434 --> 01:03:45,759
It's a cross-community event.
404
01:03:45,894 --> 01:03:49,144
I suppose the good people
in the South think this is great stuff,
405
01:03:49,273 --> 01:03:53,317
let's get this wee team over from Belfast
and all that patronising shite.
406
01:03:56,238 --> 01:04:00,152
Anyway, we're through the border...
407
01:04:02,411 --> 01:04:05,246
...the boys are all singing
pop tunes and all,
408
01:04:05,372 --> 01:04:08,788
but I'm just in the back of the bus
looking out the window.
409
01:04:10,711 --> 01:04:12,870
We're going through them mountains,
410
01:04:13,005 --> 01:04:15,757
you know, where Mount Errigal is
and everything?
411
01:04:17,051 --> 01:04:19,173
It's a beautiful sight, Dom.
412
01:04:20,387 --> 01:04:23,721
Donegal has to be the most beautiful
place in Ireland, I reckon.
413
01:04:25,309 --> 01:04:27,053
Aye.
414
01:04:33,359 --> 01:04:34,769
Anyway...
415
01:04:37,029 --> 01:04:38,773
...we arrive at Gweedore.
416
01:04:40,074 --> 01:04:43,360
What a place. And it's hopping
with about two hundred boys
417
01:04:43,494 --> 01:04:46,614
and they're getting into their gear
and limbering up.
418
01:04:47,248 --> 01:04:49,703
The whole event is run
by Christian brothers
419
01:04:49,833 --> 01:04:52,621
and they're clipping young fellas
around the ears,
420
01:04:52,754 --> 01:04:55,209
basically trying to retain some order.
421
01:04:56,257 --> 01:04:59,590
Our team goes off for a wee jog
to stretch out the legs.
422
01:05:02,096 --> 01:05:04,385
We're surrounded by fields of barley...
423
01:05:06,518 --> 01:05:10,515
...and they dip down into a wee valley
where there's a stream and woods.
424
01:05:14,317 --> 01:05:16,523
The woods and stream
are out of bounds,
425
01:05:16,652 --> 01:05:20,103
so naturally us Belfast boys
have to go check them out.
426
01:05:20,239 --> 01:05:23,360
Woods and a stream, Dom.
Sure, that's like the Amazon to us.
427
01:05:25,370 --> 01:05:28,536
And we come across
these young fellas from Cork.
428
01:05:28,665 --> 01:05:32,330
There's some banter about our accents
but they could barely talk,
429
01:05:32,460 --> 01:05:35,034
we couldn't understand
a word they were saying.
430
01:05:35,881 --> 01:05:38,881
You get the idea that they're
lording it over us a bit, you know?
431
01:05:39,009 --> 01:05:41,926
Looking down on us.
I'm sensing it anyway.
432
01:05:43,304 --> 01:05:46,341
We're running along
and we come up with this idea
433
01:05:46,474 --> 01:05:50,519
to go down to the stream
and check it out for fish.
434
01:05:50,646 --> 01:05:53,315
So we're down
by the river, Dom... stream...
435
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:56,061
...it was half a foot of water in there.
436
01:05:56,192 --> 01:05:58,862
Little silver fish
but nothing substantial.
437
01:05:58,987 --> 01:06:01,857
Until one of their boys
call us further down.
438
01:06:03,658 --> 01:06:05,817
Lying in the water is a wee foal,
439
01:06:06,870 --> 01:06:09,824
four or five days old,
he's all skin and bone,
440
01:06:09,956 --> 01:06:13,574
a grey colour, and he's got
flecks of blood on his coat
441
01:06:13,710 --> 01:06:16,876
cos he's cut himself up really badly
on the sharp rocks.
442
01:06:19,842 --> 01:06:23,460
We're just standing over him,
and you can see his back leg snapped.
443
01:06:23,595 --> 01:06:26,881
And he's breathing, he's alive,
but just about.
444
01:06:29,142 --> 01:06:31,598
So this big conversation gets started up
445
01:06:31,728 --> 01:06:35,014
between the boys who suddenly
reckon themselves the leaders.
446
01:06:35,149 --> 01:06:39,098
They're deliberating what we should do.
Someone says drop a rock on his head.
447
01:06:39,236 --> 01:06:43,280
But I'm looking in their faces. I can see
they're either scared stiff or clueless.
448
01:06:43,407 --> 01:06:45,066
It's all bravado.
449
01:06:46,076 --> 01:06:49,113
And this foal on the ground, in real pain.
450
01:06:50,247 --> 01:06:52,869
All this chitchat going on,
going nowhere.
451
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:58,376
Next thing, one of the priests sees us,
sees the foal,
452
01:06:58,505 --> 01:07:01,507
tells us not to move and we're done for,
really done for.
453
01:07:01,634 --> 01:07:04,303
A group of boys will always get
the blame for hurting a foal.
454
01:07:04,428 --> 01:07:07,595
A group of Belfast boys
will get a hammering for sure.
455
01:07:07,723 --> 01:07:10,510
So it's clear to me in an instant,
and I'm on my knees
456
01:07:10,642 --> 01:07:14,142
and I take the foal's head in my hands
and I put him under water.
457
01:07:14,271 --> 01:07:16,229
He's thrashing around a bit to start,
458
01:07:16,357 --> 01:07:18,978
so I press down harder
until he's drowned.
459
01:07:21,487 --> 01:07:24,192
Priest arrives, Dom.
460
01:07:24,323 --> 01:07:26,114
And he's grabbing me by the hair,
461
01:07:26,241 --> 01:07:29,741
dragging me through the woods,
promising me a proper hiding.
462
01:07:29,870 --> 01:07:32,788
But I knew I did the right thing
by that wee foal.
463
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:36,538
And I could take the punishment
for all our boys.
464
01:07:37,878 --> 01:07:41,662
I had the respect of them
other boys now and I knew that.
465
01:07:48,306 --> 01:07:50,464
I'm clear of the reasons, Dom.
466
01:07:51,642 --> 01:07:54,762
I'm clear of all the repercussions.
467
01:07:54,895 --> 01:07:59,225
I will act and I will not stand by
and do nothing.
468
01:08:36,813 --> 01:08:38,971
You can leave them there if you like.
469
01:08:39,899 --> 01:08:43,269
Don't want me rolling up
the Letters of Saint John, do you?
470
01:08:48,283 --> 01:08:51,284
Couldn't have that
on my conscience, no.
471
01:08:58,961 --> 01:09:01,630
I don't think
I'm going to see you again, Bobby.
472
01:09:03,381 --> 01:09:05,588
There's no need, Dom.
473
01:12:41,435 --> 01:12:46,013
'And faced now with
the failure of their discredited cause,
474
01:12:46,149 --> 01:12:49,932
'the men of violence have chosen,
in recent months,
475
01:12:50,069 --> 01:12:53,817
'to play what may well be their last card.
476
01:12:54,907 --> 01:12:58,026
'They have turned their violence
against themselves
477
01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:02,372
'through the prison hunger strike
to death.
478
01:13:02,498 --> 01:13:08,583
'They seek to work on the most basic
of human emotions, pity,
479
01:13:08,712 --> 01:13:11,417
'as a means of creating tension
480
01:13:11,548 --> 01:13:15,547
'and stoking the fires
of bitterness and hatred. '
481
01:13:47,126 --> 01:13:52,203
There's been a deterioration
of liver, kidney and pancreatic function.
482
01:13:53,299 --> 01:13:55,872
Also the bone density
decreases substantially
483
01:13:56,010 --> 01:13:58,762
due to calcium and vitamin deficiencies.
484
01:14:01,433 --> 01:14:04,350
The muscle of the heart
is also undernourished,
485
01:14:04,477 --> 01:14:08,344
causing impaired function
and eventually cardiac failure.
486
01:14:14,112 --> 01:14:18,275
The left ventricle could shrink
to seventy percent of its normal size.
487
01:14:20,910 --> 01:14:24,908
He will have low blood sugar,
low energy and muscular wasting.
488
01:14:27,251 --> 01:14:30,287
He'll be experiencing
gastrointestinal ulcers
489
01:14:30,420 --> 01:14:34,631
with the thinning of the intestinal wall
and sub-mucosal haemorrhaging.
490
01:14:36,426 --> 01:14:39,877
There will have been degenerative
changes to the mucous membrane
491
01:14:40,013 --> 01:14:43,714
of the intestines
and indeed all the organs in the body.
492
01:25:15,864 --> 01:25:19,030
- Name?
- Rosaleen Sands.
493
01:25:22,495 --> 01:25:25,698
- Name?
- John Sands.
494
01:27:39,801 --> 01:27:43,419
People always ask us,
people always ask us
495
01:27:43,554 --> 01:27:47,302
- Who we are...
- Bobby! Bobby!
496
01:27:47,433 --> 01:27:51,300
And where we come from,
where we come from
497
01:27:51,437 --> 01:27:55,186
And we tell them,
and we tell them
498
01:27:55,316 --> 01:27:58,851
We're from Belfast,
