they eat snails in France?

Aye.

00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,840
Whatever you say, Charlie.

See, when this is all done,
8
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:25,600
me and you, we can go and get Maggie
and we can bring her to Paris,
9
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,760
and we can go up
to the top of the Eiffel Tower,
10
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,160
and we can drink champagne and all.

Argh!
19

We're sitting ducks out here!
Hold the line!
20
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,480
Come on, Artie!
21
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,360
Oh.

Hey.
And how are we today?

Oh.
30
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,040
Not a bad morning.
31
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,080
You might get to sit out again.
32
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,080
Don't forget to take those tablets.
33
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,960
Can I give you a hand with anything?
34
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,800
No.
35
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,440
She's awake, Artie.
36
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,000
What? What?
37
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,760
Maggie's awake. Oh.

Hi.
39
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,960
Mmm.

Haven't had that in a long time.

Not that you were bothered.

What?!
81
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,520
She went peacefully in her sleep.

Go on.

Come on, Granda-Daddy.
98
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,000
It's time to go.
99
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,000
Will you be OK now?
I will.
100
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,800
We'll come visit again next week. Aye.
101
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,680
Now, just you look after yourself...
102
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:52,720
and be nice to those nurses.
103
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,400
Aye, I will.
104
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,840
Bye now.

00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,040
Bye, Granda-Daddy.

Load of old nonsense,

Still living off past glories,
the lot of them.

'The Royal British Legion
has chartered this ship, the HMS...'
113
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,520
You never went back there,
Artie, in all this time?
114
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,720
Not that I blame you. I mean,
115
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,720
who in their right mind
would go back to that place?
116
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,080
Leave the past
where it bloody belongs.
117
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,120
That's what I say.
'..the first time in Normandy

Yeah, transferring you now.

I'm sorry, Artie.
129
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,640
What? Mrs Tedjury's a bit busy
at the minute. Can I help you?
130
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,200
Good morning. Lough Valley
Nursing Home. Tracy speaking.
131
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,160
I'd love for you to go, Artie,
132
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,640
but we've a responsibility
to your family
133
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,280
and a duty of care to you.
Ha!
134
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,160
I am fitter than men half my age.
135
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,440
You're a 92-year-old diabetic. Aye.
136
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,160
With erratic blood pressure... Ha.
137
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,920
...and a weak heart. Well...
138
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,200
You have a dysfunctional kidney,

arthritis
140
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,440
and a medication plan so complex
that students use it for research.
141
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,880
Even if you could travel,
I couldn't let you go
142
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,120
without a medical team
and an air ambulance on standby.
143
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,120
Ah. Sounds like
you have me dead and buried already.
144
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,760
You alright?
Och, kind of.
145
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,080
Hey, Artie. Hey.
146
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,120
Oh.
What're you at?
147
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,240
Are you planning
a wee excursion or something?
148
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,760
Aye, I am.
Where to?
149
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,480
Up your hole, picking daisies.
150
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,600
How in the name of God do you think
you're going to get to Normandy?
151
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,440
You can't even find the bathroom
on your own.
152
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,280
Very funny.
153
00:17:19,120 --> 00:17:21,200
Listen, Artie.
154
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,240
We were all put out about Maggie.
155
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,040
She was a fine woman, no question.
156
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,760
But... is this not a bit extreme?
157
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,040
You survived it once.
158
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,320
Going back there now
is only asking for trouble.
159
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,320
Well, I wish you luck.
160
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,440
You're going to need it.
161
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,920

"during the war" once more,

Come on, give us a hand.
Give us a hand. Come on.

00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,320
Come over here.
197
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,480
Alright.
198
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,040
But you're from the nursing home,
aren't you?
199
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,840
What's this? Bloody jail break?
200
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,480
- The station.
- What?
Which way is the station?
201
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,440
Hurry up. I haven't got all day.
202
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,760
Right, this isn't gonna...
Hey! Don't you dare.
203
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,680
I'm not getting the blame for this. OK.
204
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,760
Here you go.
205
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,720
20?
206
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,720
Second street on the left. Then
go straight to the top of the road.
207
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,440
OK.
208
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,560
Well, I'll drive you there for 30.
209
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,040
Good morning, sir.
And where are we for today?
210
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,560
Good morning. Good morning.
211
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,560
Dublin.
Dublin, indeed?
212
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,320
Day-out in the big smoke?
Aye.
213
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,600
And no better way
to do it than by train.
214
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,920
So you get
the 11:30 express to Dublin.
215
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,400
You got your SmartPass?
216
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,440
What?
If you're over 65,
217
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,640
you're entitled
to free travel north and south,
218
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,000
but I need your SmartPass. Ooh.
219
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,520
Here you are.
220
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,520
92.
221
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,560
Aye, and three-quarters.
I think that entitles you.
222
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,000
Argh!
223
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,400
Ah.
224
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,600
Blood pressure. Aye.
225
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,520
I often forget to take them
when I'm travelling,
226
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,840
though I can't imagine missing
the odd one would make a difference.
227
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,440
But I suppose
you daren't take the risk.
228
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,560
My daughter's always nagging me
about my tablets.
229
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,760
Sorry, I'm babbling on.
230
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,480
Again.
231
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,520
Bad nerves, apparently.
232
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,640
Do you have children?
233
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,560
Sorry?
234
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,320
Ooh, yes, yes.
235
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,520
We had a daughter after many years,
236
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,400
and a granddaughter
and a great-grandson.
237
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,760
You're very fortunate,
you know that?
238
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,640
Take my husband -
he was only 48 when he died.
239
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,760
Never got to see his grandchildren. Oh.
240
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,240
He always said,
"It doesn't matter what age you are,
241
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,320
We all have our expiry dates."
242
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,360
Hmm.
243
00:23:57,360 --> 00:24:00,160
I should have died in the war,
but I didn't.
244
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,920
Oh?
245
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,280
I'm 92-and-three-quarter years old.
246
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,040
Well past my expiry date.
247
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,840
'We are now approaching
Dublin Connolly Station.
248
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,240
This train terminates here.'
249
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,640
Come in.
Tom's here.
250
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,880
You wanted to see me?
Yes, Tom.
251
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,920
Take a seat.
252
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,640
You're pally with Artie Crawford,
aren't you, Tom?
253
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,400
I wouldn't say pally now.
254
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,480
I see the pair of you
chatting at breakfast.
255
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,760
I chat. You'd be lucky
to get a grunt out of him.
256
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,400
Artie appears to be missing.
His suitcase...
257
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,160
He's escaped?
It's not a prison, Tom.
258
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,200
His toiletries are gone.
259
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,560
Some of his clothes are missing
and his passport.
260
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,760
Oh, won't get far on that.
It's years out of date.
261
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,080
How do you know?
262
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,040
Well, at his age it must be,
mustn't it?
263
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,240
Did he say anything to you -
anything at all?
264
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,800
You know Artie.
265
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,200
Man of mystery.
266
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,280
Aye. That's good.
There you go.
267
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,520
Oh, that's lovely.
Thank you so much.
268
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,760
Good luck.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
269
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,040
Excuse me, excuse me. I'm looking
for the train to Rosslare.
270
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,480
Just missed it, I'm afraid.
Next one's not until 3:45.
271
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,880
Ah. Does it go to the port?
272
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,040
I need to catch
the night ferry to France.
273
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,760
The six o'clock ferry?
Aye.
274
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,600
You won't make that, not by train.
275
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,200
The next service doesn't get in
to Rosslare until half past six.
276
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,920
Ah.
277
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,080
I shouldn't be saying this,
but if you get the bus...
278
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,360
There's an express service
goes straight to the port.
279
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:44,600
So what you want to do is
you want to go out the main exit,
280
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,480
down the escalator,
and you'll find a taxi rank there.
281
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,440
They'll take you to the bus depot.
OK?
282
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,520
Hey, check this.
Oh!
283
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,520
Nice one, Trigger. Pure deadly.
284
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,080
Got him proper good, eh?
285
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,480
That's my bench, mister,
and you're trespassin' on it.
286
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,400
Yeah, you're trespassin'.
287
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,000
Go on, Grandad, sling your hook.
Yeah!
288
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,800
And don't forget your kacks.
289
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,600
What age are you anyway - like, 100?
290
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,480
Probably 200.
Hey! Hey!
291
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,920
What are you playing at?
I was only joking with him.
292
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,640
You want to pick on someone?
293
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,920
I'll give you someone to pick on,
you feckin' toerags.
294
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,360
Go on!
295
00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:42,680
Thank you.
Young ones these days -
296
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,680
shower of bleedin' wasters.
297
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,720
Aye.
298
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,040
Oh.
299
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,440
Normandy, eh?
300
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,160
Were you there...
301
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,200
at D-Day?
302
00:27:04,360 --> 00:27:07,040
I was.
Fair play to you.
303
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,920
Yous had balls, I'll say that.
304
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,480
You still do,
going back there at your age.
305
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,600
Though to be honest with you,
I never liked the British.
306
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,960
Don't get me wrong now,
a lot of good men died on D-Day.
307
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,240
A lot of good Irishmen too.
308
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,360
But the Brits
have screwed us over for centuries.
309
00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:28,520
You have to remember that.
310
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,880
But that's all in the past now, right?
311
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,120
We're all the best of friends
these days.
312
00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:36,760
But what you fellas done
on them beaches.
313
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:41,600
Well, I've seen that film
Saving Private Ryan.
314
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,000
And what you fellas done
was a hell of a thing.
315
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,480
A hell of a thing.
316
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,000
There go you go, sir.
That's you now.
317
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,160
How much do I owe you?
No, no, put that away.
318
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,840
Never had a D-Day veteran
in my cab before.
319
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,680
It's an honour.
Oh, that's very kind.
320
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,920
Very kind. Thank you.
321
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,560
Here, let me help you with that.
322
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:19,720
Oh.
323
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,280
That's not fair.
324
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,320
Not enough space.
325
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,440
Oh. Ooh!
326
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,920
Ennio Morricone.
327
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,960
He's a movie composer.
328
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,080
I know.
329
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,120
I met him.
330
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,720
Ennio Morricone?
331
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,560
In Verona.
332
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,320
That's in Italy.
333
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,360
You went to his concert?
334
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,480
An anniversary present for my wife.
335
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,200
No way.
336
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,640
How did you meet him?
Turned out
337
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,920
he was staying
at the same hotel as us
338
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,640
and it was his birthday.
339
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,160
- No way?
- Aye. He came down
and introduced himself to us all.
340
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,880
He had a fine handshake -
I remember that.
341
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,040
That's awesome, that. Aye.
342
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,080
My wife thought so.
343
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,440
Aye.
344
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,240
Maestro.
345
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:28,960
Huh?
346
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,120
I remember
everyone called him that -
347
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,840
maestro.
348
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,400
Well, would it be alright
349
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,120
if I shook the hand of the man
who shook of hand of THE maestro?
350
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,760
Ah.
351
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,480
There you go.
352
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,040
I'm Rory.
Aye, Artie.
353
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,760
♪ ENNIO MORRICONE:
Gabriel's Oboe (Part 1): The Mission
354
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,160
Thank you.
355
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,880
Isn't that awesome?
356
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,720
I mean, with the choir
and the orchestra and everything?
357
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,560
And that oboe.
I mean, who even thought
358
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,560
that an oboe
could even sound like that?
359
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,600
Didn't that remind you of Verona?
360
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,120
Aye.
361
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,320
Thank you.
362
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,120
Right,
seems the fuel pump's banjaxed.
363
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,640
They're sending a replacement coach
down from Dublin.
364
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,680
So just sit tight and, er,
365
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,960
well, sorry about the inconvenience.
366
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,360
I doubt either of us
will make our sailings at this rate.
367
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,440
I mean, by the time
they get their act together
368
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,760
and get another bus
and then bring it down here.
369
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,480
Aye.
370
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,520
An hour?! Half these passengers
are on the six o'clock ferry,
371
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,120
and I'm not losing my licence again
bombing down that bleedin' road.
372
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,920
Oh, here, what the...
Here, I'll call you back. Hey!
373
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,600
What the hell are you playing at?
Stay on the bus. It's not safe.
374
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,000
It's alright, he's with me.
You what?
375
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,440
He's gonna bleedin' walk
to Rosslare, is he?
376
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,160
It's changed times, Artie. Nobody
stops for hitchhikers nowadays.
377
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,400
Changed times, indeed.
378
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,160
Tony McCann, Irish Journal.
379
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,720
Uh-huh.
380
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,760
OK.
381
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,400
Artie Crawford?

Nothing to write home about, though.
389
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,360
Nothing's ever happened
in Enniscorthy.
390
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:48,920
The Battle of Vinegar Hill?
391
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,000
Vinegar what?
1798.
392
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,560
Wolfe Tone, the United Irishmen?
393
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,440
Did they teach you
nothing at school?
394
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,680
The Battle of Vinegar Hill was
a turning point in the Rebellion.
395
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,600
Irishmen
- Catholics and Protestants alike -
396
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,440
were united in a common cause.
397
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,320
Independence from the British.
398
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,040
Alright.
399
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,280
So, Artie, what's your story?
400
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,480
I fought with the United Irishmen.
401
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,520
So, I did. Aye.
402
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,920
But FOR the British.
403
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,000
All for one and one for all, eh?
404
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,040
Aye.
405
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:25,840
I'm sorry, sir.
406
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,200
I'm afraid we can't disclose
information on residents.
407
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:29,640
I'm sure you understand.
408
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,160
But by all accounts,
Artie's no longer a resident, is he?
409
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:33,880
Not if he's done a runner.
410
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,920
So, HAS he done a runner?
411
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,200
Look, Tracy...
412
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,120
That's a beautiful name, by the way.
413
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,320
I respect your professionalism,
but think about it for a minute.
414
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,880
"War veteran escapes old folks' home
to meet his army buddies in France.

416
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,720
Look,
I could get you a special mention.
417
00:34:55,720 --> 00:34:58,280
Big photograph, you and Artie,
front page, full colour.
418
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,000
Boom, what do you say?
419
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Front page - no way?
I swear to God.
420
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,040
I'd have to get my hair done.
421
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,720
Of course. Got to look your best.
422
00:35:05,720 --> 00:35:07,880
Buy a new outfit.
Knock yourself out.
423
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,160
Bikini or swimsuit?
424
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,400
You have a lovely day, Tracy.
425
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,160
You too... sir.
426
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,720
I need you to book me
onto the next flight to Paris.
427
00:35:27,720 --> 00:35:31,080
I'm gonna need a car
- something decent this time -
428
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,560
and, er,
make sure you get one with sat-nav.

431
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,280
So, Artie,
what's this mission that you're on?
432
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,480
Top secret, is it?
433
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,440
Artie, are you OK?
434
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,480
Artie?
435
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,560
Artie, can you hear me?
436
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,840
Oh.
What's wrong with him?
437
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,920
I don't know.
Is he having a stroke or what?
438
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,120
No, I don't think so.
Well, do something.
439
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,480
I'm thinking.
Jesus Christ!
440
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,760
All I need is for him to die on me.
No-one's dying.
441
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,000
Here, grab one of those.
What?
442
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,040
I've seen this before.
Artie, are you diabetic?
443
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,760
No, no, no, the other one.
He needs sugar.
444
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,520
Jesus!
OK, now open it.
445
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,520
Give him small sips.
You want ME to do it?
446
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,120
Well, I can hardly give it to him,
can I?
447
00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:22,320
Here, Artie, sip this.
It'll make you feel better.
448
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,040
Good man, Artie.
449
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,360
That's it. Try and swallow now.
Shit, we should call an ambulance!
450
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,280
Calm down.
That's easy for you to say.
451
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,000
I'm the one
that took him hitchhiking.
452
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,960
What the hell was I thinking?
That's it, Artie.
453
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,480
You'll feel a lot better now
when you get that into you.
454
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,400
He's coming round.
455
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,720
Thank God for that. Jesus Christ,
I don't know about you, Artie,
456
00:36:42,720 --> 00:36:45,440
but I'm too bloody young
to be having heart attacks.
457
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,600
Why didn't you say
you hadn't eaten since breakfast?
458
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,120
I took a banana.
459
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,880
Being diabetic is not
something you take lightly, Artie,
460
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,000
especially at your age. Yeah.
461
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,600
What if you got sick on the ferry?
I mean, no disrespect,
462
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,320
but, er, you're no spring chicken.
463
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,880
An old army buddy of mine
- Bumper Jones -
464
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,920
he's a Dublin lad.
465
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,240
He said I had nine lives.
466
00:37:13,240 --> 00:37:16,080
He used to call me
the Artful Dodger.
467
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,040
Everyone seemed to get shot
or blown up or something -
468
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,360
everyone except me.
469
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,480
Even when I did take a shell,
I survived.
470
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,920
Took half the side off me,
471
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,320
but I survived.
472
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,160
The Artful Dodger.
473
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,080
I'll be fine.
474
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,000
I will now.
475
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,960
Careful with it now.
476
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,720
Look out below.
477
00:38:04,720 --> 00:38:07,680
So, the Cherbourg ferry's
- just through there.
- Right.
478
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,040
I'm headed to Wales,
so I guess this is it.
479
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,880
Off you go to Wales now. You go
and have a good time and be safe.
480
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,000
Have lots of laughs.
I could help you check in.
481
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,360
No, no, don't worry.
I'll be fine, son. I'll be fine.
482
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,560
Thank you.
483
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,040
See you, then.
Oh, mind the leg.
484
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,560
Aye. I will.
485
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,720
Make sure you get a solid meal as
soon as you get on board, won't you?
486
00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:31,760
I will. I will. I will.
487
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,800
Alright, thank you. Thank you, both.
488
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,840
It's been a pleasure, maestro.
489
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:38,920
Oh, aye.
490
00:38:41,240 --> 00:38:43,240
It's clearly me, huh?
491
00:38:43,240 --> 00:38:46,560
You can see from the photograph.
Look, that's me.
492
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,000
Yes,
but's 17 years out of date, sir.
493
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,320
What? Is that so? Are you sure?
It expired in 2002.
494
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,480
Aye now, but it's me.
495
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,920
Look, there you go now.
Arthur Crawford.
496
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,200
I believe you, sir. But you need a
valid passport to travel to France.
497
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,240
No exceptions.
498
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,640
My wife normally
organised things like this.
499
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,680
But, erm,
500
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,920
she's... she's dead.
501
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:19,160
I'm sorry, but
it's French Customs and Immigration.
502
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:20,920
The memorial service is tomorrow.
503
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,680
The D-Day anniversary.
504
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,480
I need to be in Normandy.
505
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,280
Hold your wish now.
Here you go. Here you go.
506
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,440
I can't let you travel, sir.
507
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,480
I'd lose my job.
508
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,360
Now, if you don't mind,
we have customers
509
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,120
with valid passports
waiting to check in. Next!
510
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,960
Passports and travel documents, please.
511
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,960
I heard what she said, sir.
She's right.
512
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,280
They'll just send you straight back.
513
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,480
Sorry.
514
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,480
Is there anything I can do?
Do you need a taxi or a bus?
515
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,200
No, no, no.
516
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,840
Excuse me, excuse me.
517
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,160
I never introduced myself.
518
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,080
My name's Artie Crawford,
519
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:39,160
Second Battalion
Royal Ulster Rifles, retired.
520
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:40,920
I have to get to France,
521
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,560
and you might be my only hope.
522
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,120
I'm sorry, sir.
523
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,720
Erm, I'd love to help
- I really would -
524
00:40:51,720 --> 00:40:55,200
but the custom people in Cherbourg
check every passenger in every car.
525
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,920
Aye.
And that's why you can help me.
526
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,280
Can I have your tickets?
527
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,360
Thank you.
Thank you.
528
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,600
Ooh.
529
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,920
Artie.
530
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,080
I got you a cabin.
531
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,480
'Well, it's
one exam down, but many more to go.
532
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,360
For most Leaving Cert students,
their next big challenge
533
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,200
is English Paper II
tomorrow afternoon.
534
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,080
This is Emma O'Kelly, RTE News,
535
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,880
Scoil Mhuire gan Smal in Blarney.'
536
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,880
'And still to come on Tonight 61,
we have more from Doonbeg,
537
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,600
and - declared at last -
12 days after voting,
538
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,960
the final seats
are filled in Ireland South.'
539
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,240
'Hello, RTE news desk.'
540
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,400
Aye, come in.
541
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,280
Oh, Juliette.
542
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,760
Don't show yourself, Artie,
or we'll all end up behind bars.
543
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,760
We're in the next cabin
if you need us.
544
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,200
You didn't have to do all of this,
you know.
545
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,680
My grandmother was in the Resistance
during the war.
546
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,200
She helped
British soldiers escape from France.
547
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,520
So maybe it's in our blood -
548
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,560
smuggling soldiers.
549
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,680
Shh.
550
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,000
Can we issue Tom Malcomson
with a gagging order?
551
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,080
You might want to do more than that.
552
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,760
I have RTE holding on line one.
You cannot be serious.
553
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,920
Their Northern editor wants to run
the story in the news tonight.
554
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,080
None of them seem to care
that a 92-year-old
555
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,480
might be lying in a ditch somewhere.
556
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,360
Have you tried Artie's family again?
They still haven't heard a thing.
557
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,760
What about the police?
They've checked with the airlines.
558
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,480
No bookings under his name.
559
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,680
So if Artie IS trying
to get to France, he's not flying.
560
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,400
Oh.
561
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,600
Right.
562
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:37,240
'Absolutely.'
'
563
00:44:37,240 --> 00:44:38,960
'
564
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,280
'Artie Crawford was just 16
565
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:48,840
when he signed up
to fight the Germans in 1943.
566
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,120
He landed in Normandy...'
Mummy, wake up!
567
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,440
'Now 75 years on...'Look!
'..he's trying to fight his way
568
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,280
back to France...'
It's Granda-Daddy.
569
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,880
'..to be part
of the D-Day anniversary.'
570
00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:01,960
Mum, Mum, come in here quick.
571
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,520
'It was my idea
that Artie go back to France,
572
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,160
out of respect, you see,
for the thousands
573
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,760
of brave young men,
patriotic young men,
574
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,320
who made the ultimate sacrifice,
lest we forget.'
575
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:17,760
'We'll find out soon enough
if indeed Artie has made his way
576
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,320
back to Normandy
after all these years
577
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:25,600
and who, if anyone, will be
waiting for him if he gets there.
578
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,920
Tommy Gorman, RTE News, Belfast.'
579
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,000
Jesus Christ!
580
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:50,640
Free fire!
581
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,880
Come on, Artie!
582
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,040
Artie, come on!
583
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,040
Come on, Artie!
584
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:20,880
Good morning.
585
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:22,720
Artie!
586
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,000
Your blood pressure's very low.
587
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,080
Without knowing
what medication you're on,
588
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:35,800
I can't prescribe you anything.
589
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,840
We really need
to contact your doctor.
590
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,840
Oh, no, no, no, no. No, no.
591
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:41,680
How's our patient doing?
592
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,960
He needs to get to a hospital
for a full check-up.
593
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,240
Well, we'll be in Cherbourg
in an hour. I'll radio ahead.
594
00:46:47,240 --> 00:46:49,000
So, tell me Mr...
595
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,800
Crawford,
how did you get on board our vessel
596
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,640
with an out-of-date passport?
597
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,640
You do know
this is a criminal offence...
598
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,560
What's my sentence, huh?
599
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,360
Life?
600
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,080
I'm still gonna have
to contact the authorities
601
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,200
to let them know we have a stowaway.
602
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,400
A 92-year-old stowaway.
603
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,760
92 and three-quarters.
604
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,440
We'll have an ambulance
meet you at Cherbourg.
605
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,640
In the meantime, don't go anywhere.
606
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,640
Aye.
607
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,360
I can't believe it.
608
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,400
After getting this far,
609
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,120
I can't go back.
610
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,280
I can't give up now.
611
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,680
Looks like
you don't have much of a choice.
612
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,680
It's my mother...
613
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:50,320
arranging to collect
the children at the weekend.
614
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,880
It's back to reality for both of us,
it seems.
615
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,000
What's your reality?
616
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,200
When we return,
I go into hospital...
617
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,240
for a procedure.
618
00:48:06,240 --> 00:48:08,280
I'm sure it'll be fine.
619
00:48:09,240 --> 00:48:11,240
The doctor's optimistic
620
00:48:11,240 --> 00:48:15,640
and they have success now
treating that kind of...
621
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,640
It'll be fine, I'm sure.
622
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,920
The holiday was to help
take the children's minds off it.
623
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,600
Jacques is small
- he doesn't understand -
624
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:30,640
but it's been hard on Sophie.
625
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,800
She worries.
626
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,840
So I worry about her.
627
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,680
And the father?
628
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,120
Hmm.
629
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:43,840
It's just us -
630
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:45,880
Les Trois Mousquetaires.
631
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,040
Us Three Musketeers.
632
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,600
'Hello. How can I place your call?'
633
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,480
Hello.
Hello.
634
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,400
'Hello?
635
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,960
Hello, sir?
636
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,320
Sir, can I help you?'
637
00:49:28,240 --> 00:49:30,680
Witch.
638
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,240
Mr Crawford?
639
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,320
Oui?
640
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:10,840
Merci.
641
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,880
Passeport, si'l vous plait.
642
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:47,600
Merci.
643
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:42,960
Good luck.
644
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,800
Oh, thank you.
645
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:47,520
Smile, Artie.
646
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,000
Getting close.
647
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,280
Ladies and gentlemen,
648
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,240
we are about to commence
our approach to Paris,
649
00:52:31,240 --> 00:52:33,160
Charles de Gaulle.
Please return to your seats
650
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:34,880
and ensure
your seatbelts are fastened,
651
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,240
your tray tables are stowed
and your seat back is upright.
652
00:52:37,240 --> 00:52:40,800
Mate. Excuse me, mate.
I'm burstin'. Thanks.
653
00:52:54,720 --> 00:52:56,880
Passport, please.
654
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:05,840
Merci.
655
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:23,680
Oh, no.
656
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:25,720
Oh, my God.
657
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,240
Take one?
658
00:54:04,240 --> 00:54:06,280
No, thank you.
659
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,640
Oh.
660
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,160
Doo-do!
661
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,600
Whaaaa-whaaa!
662
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:07,960
Do you like ice cream?
663
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:13,840
Hmm.
664
00:55:18,240 --> 00:55:20,280
Thank you.
665
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:23,400
Two 99's, please, with, er...
666
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,120
er...
667
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,600
whatchamacall them?
Er, they're our favourites.
668
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:29,320
Er, er...
669
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,520
two 99's.
670
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,720
Artie?
Raspberry ripple.
671
00:55:33,720 --> 00:55:36,720
Oh, raspberry ripple. Of course!
How could I forget that?
672
00:55:36,720 --> 00:55:39,200
Two 99's, please,
with raspberry ripple,
673
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,160
and don't hold back
on the raspberry.
674
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,200
No, don't do that.
675
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,640
Oh.
676
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:51,400
Artie.
677
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,240
Artie, can you hear me?
678
00:55:56,240 --> 00:55:57,960
Hmm. What?
679
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,120
Do you like ice cream?
680
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,440
Hmm, yes.
681
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,400
I like ice cream.
682
00:56:07,720 --> 00:56:09,720
I do too.
683
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,880
Oh, look at this. Tres.
684
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:16,800
Oh, that's a feast.
685
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:18,520
Even.
686
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:20,240
Thank you.
687
00:56:20,240 --> 00:56:22,280
Merci.
688
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,400
Cheers.
Thank you.
689
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:35,920
My.
690
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:37,960
So, what you're saying is
691
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,040
they found my father?
692
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:43,120
Yes.
And then lost him again?
693
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,600
We don't quite know what happened,
but the authorities on both sides
694
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,320
have assured me
they're doing everything they can.
695
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,640
My father has just lost
his wife of 68 years.
696
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:56,160
I can't even begin to imagine
the pain he's feeling right now.
697
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:59,800
So, if he has gone back to France
after all these years, then...
698
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,200
...he must have a very good reason.
699
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,400
Going somewhere, Tom?
700
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,640
What, me? Huh.
701
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:14,720
You know what she said.
702
00:57:14,720 --> 00:57:16,760
What - that I am under house arrest?
703
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:19,120
I suggested shackles and chains.
704
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,400
But apparently, there's laws.
705
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,720
What about my phone?
706
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,000
Ah, you'll get it back...
707
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,040
once you're longer
a threat to society.
708
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:36,320
So I have good news.
709
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:38,640
There's a tour bus of veterans.
Uh-huh.
710
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:41,200
And they're happy
to drop you off at Cambes-en-Plaine.
711
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:42,960
Oh, that's great news.
712
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:45,440
Which regiment?
The Scottish Borderers?
713
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,160
Um...
The Staffordshires?
714
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:49,200
Not exactly.
715
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:57,400
Germans?
716
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,120
I'm sorry, Artie,
717
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,280
I would take you,
but we have to go south.
718
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,320
Aye, b...
719
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,480
Bloody Germans.
720
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:08,520
They were soldiers, just like you.
721
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:10,680
Ah, but... Aye.
722
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:12,720
Are you going to be OK?
723
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,080
I'll be fine.
724
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:18,320
I'm still fit enough
to take on a few old Jerries.
725
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,840
Bonne chance.
Bonne chance.
726
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,640
Don't you worry now
about Sophie or Jacques.
727
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:30,360
They're going to be fine.
728
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,200
I promise you now.
729
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:44,400
Oh, thank you, Sophie.
730
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:46,200
You take care of your mother now.
731
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,680
OK?
I will. I will.
732
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:50,720
She'll be fine.
733
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:32,320
What the f...
734
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,960
Mate, I'm stuck here.
735
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:41,880
Me no speak no other language, mate.
736
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:48,720
Ah, come on!
737
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,360
Friedrich Mueller.
738
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:03,320
Berlin.
739
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,600
Artie Crawford.
Pleased to meet you.
740
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:08,400
Belfast.
741
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,320
12th Panzer Division?
742
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,120
Yes.
743
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:15,600
12th SS Panzer Division.
744
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,400
At the end of the war,
you had little choice.
745
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:23,360
Hitlerjugend?
I was in the Hitler Youth.
746
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:26,960
Were you not in the Boy Scouts?
Hmm.
747
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,320
A boy of 12
is looking for adventure.
748
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:32,720
In Berlin... or Belfast.
749
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,600
I was 14 when
I graduated into the Hitler Youth.
750
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:45,360
It was the proudest day.
751
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:48,040
To feel important
for the first time in my life.
752
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,200
People would salute me
in the street,
753
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,600
treat me like
I was some kind of a hero.
754
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:56,800
The girls.
755
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:01,240
Then at 16,
I was drafted into the SS,
756
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:03,680
sent to Normandy...
757
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:05,720
and everything changed.
758
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,480
You murdered innocent men.
759
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:12,520
Soldiers who lay wounded,
760
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:14,560
dying.
761
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:16,440
Murder is a strong word.
762
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:18,160
Medics who tried to help,
763
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:19,880
shot in cold blood.
764
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:24,240
It was war.
Aye, it was war.
765
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:27,120
And there were rules.
766
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:30,120
We knew nothing of rules.
767
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:31,880
We were just boys.
768
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:35,160
We were all just boys.
769
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:42,320
You're right.
770
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,320
I saw terrible things.
771
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,280
We did terrible things.
772
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:51,840
And I've had to live with that.
773
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:53,880
Aye, we all have.
774
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:58,840
We all have.
775
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,880
It's a shock to learn
you've lost the war.
776
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:12,240
It's a greater shock
777
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:15,280
to discover
you've been on the wrong side.
778
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,000
Friends of yours?
779
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:53,760
75 years ago,
we tried to kill each other.
780
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:57,920
None of us can ever forget.
781
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:00,920
But maybe...
782
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:02,880
we can forgive.

Artie.
792
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:35,760
Perhaps another place...
793
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:38,000
in another time,
794
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,120
we might have drank
a schnapps together.
795
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:45,200
Aye.
796
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:46,920
Perhaps.
797
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:45,760
Oh, please check again.
798
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,720
The Royal Ulster Rifles Regiment
799
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:50,360
from Northern Ireland.
I am sorry,
800
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:52,200
but there are no services
for that regiment.
801
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:55,040
What? Well, maybe you've got
the wrong programme there.
802
01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:57,680
Maybe your regiment
did not attend this year?
803
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,200
No, no, no, no.
They always come back here.
804
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:04,560
The Second Battalion Royal Ulster
Rifles always comes back here.
805
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,560
Unless it is
an unofficial visit, Monsieur.
806
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:08,480
Sometimes that happens.
807
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:10,840
There were some Americans here
this morning and...
808
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,160
Bonjour.
Bonjour.
809
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:31,440
Have you seen this man?
810
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,480
No, no.
811
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:18,800
Ooh.
812
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:22,680
Oh!
813
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:29,840
Excuse me a minute, Melanie. I...
814
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:33,960
Excuse, sir.
815
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:35,920
Do you mind if I join you?
816
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:39,080
You look like
you could be needing some company.
817
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:41,120
I know I could.
818
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:47,680
Corporal Lincoln Jefferson Adams,
United States Army.
819
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:49,720
Artie Crawford.
820
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:52,240
British Army.
821
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:55,160
An honour to meet you, Artie.
822
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:57,200
My granddaughter Melanie here believes
823
01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:58,920
I shouldn't be bothering people,
824
01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:01,680
but I keep telling her,
at our age...
825
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:03,600
...life's too short not to.
826
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:06,440
Nice to meet you, Artie.
Nice to meet you.
827
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:08,760
Which unit would you be in?
828
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:11,480
2nd Battalion,
829
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:13,480
Royal Ulster Rifles.
830
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:15,520
Infantryman, huh?
831
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:17,640
I was artillery myself.
832
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:21,320
320th Barrage Balloon Battalion -
833
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:23,760
anti-aircraft balloons.
834
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:25,480
You'd looked up on D-Day,
835
01:08:25,480 --> 01:08:27,240
you'd have seen them for sure.
836
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:28,520
Hmm.
837
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:30,880
Er, in fact...
838
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:36,520
...there you go.
839
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:38,240
Oh, look at that.
840
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,040
Fine sight, wouldn't you say?
841
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:41,720
Oh, aye.
842
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:44,000
Might have just been
big gas balloons,
843
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:47,080
but they could kept
those dive bombers off the beaches.
844
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:49,760
Now, that's me at the back,
845
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:53,200
and that's my little brother
Ulysses Quincy Adams.
846
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:56,760
We signed up the very same day.
847
01:08:56,760 --> 01:09:02,320
The 320th was the only all-black
combat unit in Normandy on D-Day.
848
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,480
The, er, Buffalo Soldiers regiment?
Hell, no!
849
01:09:05,480 --> 01:09:07,240
That's the 92nd.
850
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:09,440
They were sunning
their pretty selves in Italy,
851
01:09:09,440 --> 01:09:12,360
while we were on the beaches
in Normandy catching hell.
852
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:14,480
Ah...
853
01:09:14,480 --> 01:09:17,120
Melanie, step here a minute,
will you, hon?
854
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:21,840
Would you like a drink, Artie?
Grandpa!
855
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:25,440
I'm just being polite, honey.
856
01:09:25,440 --> 01:09:27,200
Whisky maybe?
Lincoln.
857
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:30,320
Two Jack Daniels, Melanie.
That is, if you don't mind.
858
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:35,360
Grandchildren.
859
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:44,480
Bonjour.
860
01:09:44,480 --> 01:09:46,680
Please tell me you've seen this guy.
Oui, oui.
861
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:49,760
He was here, like,
15, 20 minutes ago.
862
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:52,640
You're kidding?
No, no, he went that way.
863
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:54,400
Merci beaucoup.
864
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,400
De rien.
865
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:58,440
I got given a medal today.
866
01:09:58,440 --> 01:10:03,200
The first African-American
combat soldier to set foot on Omaha.
867
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:07,960
They even installed a balloon
over Omaha Beach in my honour.
868
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:10,000
Wasn't that nice?
869
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,600
I met this SS veteran today.
870
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:14,320
You're kidding me.
871
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:16,360
But the thing is...
872
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:20,960
...he wasn't a bad sort.
None of them are,
873
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:23,680
not after
getting their asses whipped, hmm?
874
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:29,240
First and last today, Grandpa. OK?
875
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:50,160
The first time
we ever tried to take Cambes Wood,
876
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:53,760
oh, we got a hammering, we did.
877
01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:57,320
Charlie and me.
878
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:03,960
We were sheltering in a ditch
with this English fella.
879
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:08,400
He was a lot older than us.
Big Goliath of a fella.
880
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:13,520
I was terrified.
881
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:18,600
The shelling and the mortaring
and all of it.
882
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:24,600
So, this English boy,
he puts his arms around me,
883
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:27,080
you know, to comfort me.
884
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:29,440
And you know what?
885
01:11:29,440 --> 01:11:31,480
I could feel him trembling.
886
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:35,320
Really trembling.
887
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:38,960
Oh...
888
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:42,000
and that frightened me
more than all the shelling did.
889
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:44,680
You know, scared me.
890
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:46,960
Knowing that he was frightened too.
891
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:50,960
Aye.
892
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:58,000
A child can't take comfort
in a frightened adult.
893
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:02,080
And we were all just children then.
894
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:07,880
Just... wee boys.
895
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:11,360
We were all scared to death.
896
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:14,200
Anyone tell you otherwise
is just a damned liar.
897
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:18,560
That's the truth.
898
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:22,680
I'm afraid it's time to go, Grandpa.
The bus is leaving soon.
899
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:24,400
Mm-hmm.
900
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:32,680
I told you I was the first
African-American on Omaha that day.
901
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:36,400
I was the second.
902
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:39,120
My little brother went before me.
903
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:41,280
First down the ramp.
904
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:43,320
First into the water.
905
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:45,360
First to get his head blown off.
906
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:48,360
And they gave ME the medal.
907
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:54,400
That's the thing
about folks like us, Artie.
908
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:56,600
We're all living with ghosts.
909
01:13:42,480 --> 01:13:44,560
Artie Crawford?
Aye.
910
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:46,920
Tony McCann, Irish Journal. Oh.
911
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:49,680
I've been looking everywhere
for you. Mind if I join you?
912
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:54,880
Artie, you've caused quite the stir.
913
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:56,720
I didn't think you'd make it,
to be honest.
914
01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:59,160
What are you talking about?
I'm doing a story on D-Day,
915
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,720
but it's really about you -
your crazy journey to get here,
916
01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:03,440
gallivanting around Europe.
917
01:14:03,440 --> 01:14:05,240
You're a celebrity,
all over the news.
918
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:06,960
"The Last Rifleman."
919
01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:08,760
The Last Rifleman?
920
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:10,640
That's gonna be my headline.
921
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,040
Kind of like
The Last Of The Mohicans, you know.
922
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:15,720
What do you mean - the last?
923
01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:17,640
They say
you're the last of your regiment.
924
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:19,440
You mean, the 2nd Battalion?
925
01:14:19,440 --> 01:14:21,400
No, I mean ALL of the battalions.
926
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:27,120
Oh, oh, no, no, no, you're mistaken.
927
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:29,160
I thought you knew.
928
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:31,200
Well, the others will be here.
929
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:32,920
Artie...
There will be others here.
930
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:36,000
- They always are.
- Artie...
You're wrong. You're wrong.
931
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:37,720
Artie.
What?
932
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:39,440
There are no others.
933
01:14:39,440 --> 01:14:41,080
You're the last of them.
934
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:44,120
The last of the Royal Ulster Rifles.
935
01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:50,520
- No.
- Artie.
936
01:15:11,480 --> 01:15:13,720
Jesus Christ!
937
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:22,040
Free fire!
938
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:41,880
Artie, come on!
939
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:54,680
Artie, come on!
940
01:16:14,440 --> 01:16:17,520
You are quite the soldier,
Monsieur Crawford.
941
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:21,840
Without your medication, it is
a miracle that you made it this far.
942
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:25,040
We contacted your nursing home.
943
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:28,160
There is already someone on
- their way here to take you back.
- Oh.
944
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:31,120
I am afraid, for you,
the celebrations are over.
945
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:33,960
No more running around the country, Monsieur.
946
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:35,920
And no more whisky.
947
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:41,280
This fell out of your jacket
in the ambulance.
948
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:44,320
This Charlie...
949
01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:46,040
you need us to contact him for you?
950
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:49,520
No.
951
01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:51,560
It's too late now.
952
01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:54,760
Thank you.
953
01:17:01,440 --> 01:17:03,440
Oh.
954
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:27,080
Jesus, Artie, I've never seen
someone faint before.
955
01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:29,160
Scared the crap out of me.
956
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:33,040
What do you want?
957
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:35,120
I am just following
the hero's story.
958
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:37,200
Don't shoot the messenger.
959
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:40,880
There ain't no hero.
960
01:17:43,480 --> 01:17:45,600
I killed my best friend.
961
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:49,080
Aye.
962
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:51,120
Yeah, I thought that would grab you.
963
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:01,760
Back in the war,
964
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:03,800
just a few miles from here.
965
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:07,400
Aye,
we were getting hit from all sides.
966
01:18:07,400 --> 01:18:09,800
I was terrified.
967
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:14,320
But Charlie...
968
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:16,360
he wouldn't go on without me.
969
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:19,880
He was like a brother.
970
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:23,280
If he'd kept on going,
971
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:27,240
if he'd only just kept on going,
he would have been fine.
972
01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:33,160
But he turned back.
973
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:40,640
He just got blown to pieces
right before my eyes.
974
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:43,400
And all because...
975
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:45,120
because of me.
976
01:18:46,480 --> 01:18:48,560
Well, how's that your fault?
977
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:52,360
You don't understand.
978
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:55,040
There was a war.
979
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:56,760
Shit happens. Loads of people die.
980
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:58,680
I was scared, alright?
981
01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:00,840
How does that
fit into your big hero story?
982
01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:02,920
You tell me, huh?
983
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:08,960
Go away. Go away.
984
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:25,560
Artie.
985
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:27,040
What are you doing lying here?
986
01:19:29,440 --> 01:19:31,440
Oh.
987
01:19:34,480 --> 01:19:36,480
Bonjour.
Bonjour.
988
01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:28,400
Go on. Finish what you came for.
989
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:32,800
What?
990
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:35,000
So you can finish YOUR story?
991
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:37,600
Well,
every man's got to earn a living.
992
01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:40,760
Aye.
993
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:24,600
My God,
994
01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:26,680
so many young lads.
995
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:29,040
Local fellas from back home.
996
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:31,760
I had no idea.
997
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:35,600
Aye, we all wrote letters,
so we did...
998
01:22:37,240 --> 01:22:39,680
...before heading to France,
999
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:41,720
just in case we got killed.
1000
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:45,880
Charlie had just got engaged.
1001
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:49,680
He wouldn't write a goodbye letter.
1002
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:51,400
Thought it was bad luck.
1003
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:55,160
So, after he died,
1004
01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:57,760
I wrote Charlie's letter,
1005
01:22:57,760 --> 01:23:00,000
and when I got home,
1006
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:02,520
I gave it to Maggie.
1007
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:04,240
Oh...
1008
01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:06,560
she was heartbroken.
1009
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:09,640
But the letter
gave her some comfort.
1010
01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:12,640
You see...
1011
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:16,760
...Maggie had always been
Charlie's girl...
1012
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:20,680
...even when they were little.
1013
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:25,120
So, he got to tell her that
in his letter.
1014
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:29,360
The letter she kept.
1015
01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:36,160
Er, Maggie and me...
1016
01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:41,240
...we'd been together
for 68 years before she passed.
1017
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:44,920
68 happy years.
1018
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,360
But she would've married Charlie,
if he'd lived.
1019
01:23:57,400 --> 01:23:59,840
And I've had
to live with that all my life.
1020
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:08,040
Oh...
1021
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:31,320
I'm sorry, Charlie.
1022
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:34,560
My good friend.
1023
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:38,920
I'll see you soon.
1024
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:13,000
Dear Charlie,
1025
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:16,200
when you get this letter,
1026
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:19,240
you will know
my time has also come.
1027
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:24,960
Some of us
live long and full lives.
1028
01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:30,000
Others live
shorter, perhaps fuller lives.
1029
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:34,880
We had such good times together.
1030
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:39,080
Looking back on them now,
1031
01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:42,640
I can honestly say they were some
of the happiest days of my life.
1032
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:47,360
We were young and carefree,
1033
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:49,960
and the world
was there for the taking.
1034
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:53,840
Or so we thought.
1035
01:25:56,320 --> 01:25:59,040
Not everything
works out the way you'd expect.
1036
01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:02,600
Fate intervenes,
1037
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:05,720
for better or for worse.
1038
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:12,920
I am not sad, Charlie.
1039
01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:15,080
I've had a happy life.
1040
01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:17,720
Artie has been a good husband to me.
1041
01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:22,320
He has loved me and cared for me,
1042
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:25,160
even if he often thought
he was second best.
1043
01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:29,040
But we mustn't have regrets.
1044
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:33,560
Only gratitude
for a life well-lived.
1045
01:26:35,480 --> 01:26:37,480
We'll all be together again soon.
1046
01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:42,160
The Three Musketeers
of East Belfast.
1047
01:26:43,480 --> 01:26:46,120
Until then, Charlie,
1048
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:48,640
all for one and one for all.
1049
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:53,120
Yours, forever with love...
1050
01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:56,600
Maggie.
1051
01:35:13,120 --> 01:35:15,240
