16
00:04:33,238 --> 00:04:35,689
- Then I saw a flame
come outta his machine.
17
00:04:36,586 --> 00:04:38,692
It grew bigger and bigger.
18
00:04:38,692 --> 00:04:41,211
Mick was no longer
kicking his rudder.
19
00:04:41,211 --> 00:04:43,490
His nose dropped slightly
20
00:04:43,490 --> 00:04:45,492
and he went into a
slow right hand turn
21
00:04:46,596 --> 00:04:48,288
and hit the ground
in a burst of flame.
22
00:04:49,944 --> 00:04:51,429
Poor Mick,
23
00:04:51,429 --> 00:04:54,052
those hunters had shot
my major down in flames.
24
00:04:56,157 --> 00:04:57,262
- What happened then?
25
00:04:57,262 --> 00:05:00,507
- What the devil
are you two reading?
26
00:05:00,507 --> 00:05:03,164
- We've just been reading
about Mick Mannock.
27
00:05:03,164 --> 00:05:05,374
[footsteps approaching]
28
00:05:05,374 --> 00:05:09,136
He died unbeaten in the sky,
proved 'em all wrong he did.
29
00:05:09,136 --> 00:05:11,759
All those who said he would
never be a fighter pilot.
30
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:14,072
- So what happened to him?
31
00:05:14,072 --> 00:05:16,039
- He broke one of his own rules,
32
00:05:16,039 --> 00:05:18,352
followed a kill down
behind enemy lines
33
00:05:18,352 --> 00:05:20,250
and German ground fire got him.
34
00:05:20,250 --> 00:05:22,322
[soft music]
35
00:05:22,322 --> 00:05:25,082
Just got lucky that
day, that was all.
36
00:05:25,082 --> 00:05:26,326
They say every man has a bullet
37
00:05:26,326 --> 00:05:28,155
with his name on it, don't they?
38
00:05:28,155 --> 00:05:30,088
- That's what they say.
39
00:05:30,088 --> 00:05:32,090
- Tell us the story Mom.
40
00:05:32,090 --> 00:05:34,817
Tell us about the bullet
that almost got Brendan.
41
00:05:34,817 --> 00:05:37,751
- You must have heard that
story a thousand times already.
42
00:05:39,373 --> 00:05:41,858
Haven't you two had enough
stories for one night?
43
00:05:42,721 --> 00:05:45,655

[soft music]
47
00:05:51,489 --> 00:05:55,493
They were dangerous
times then in Dublin.
48
00:05:55,493 --> 00:05:59,289
You were just a baby,
not yet 12 months old.
49
00:06:00,187 --> 00:06:03,259
I remember it was a cold day,
50
00:06:03,259 --> 00:06:05,330
especially cold for
that time of year.
51
00:06:07,815 --> 00:06:11,163
You were tucked up in that
old pram, all snug and cozy.
52
00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:14,512
We were on our way home.
53
00:06:14,512 --> 00:06:16,134
We'd just been out shopping.
54
00:06:17,756 --> 00:06:20,932
And as we approached the house,
55
00:06:20,932 --> 00:06:22,209
all of a sudden
56
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,109
I heard a crack of gunfire
57
00:06:26,109 --> 00:06:27,801
and all hell broke loose.
58
00:06:27,801 --> 00:06:30,666
A fierce battle was being
put between the Irish rebels
59
00:06:30,666 --> 00:06:31,943
and the English soldiers
60
00:06:31,943 --> 00:06:34,773
and we were right in
the middle of it all.
61
00:06:34,773 --> 00:06:37,051
Right outside our front door.
62
00:06:37,051 --> 00:06:39,399
Bullets flying in
all directions.
63
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:41,815
Pew, pew, pew, pew,
pew, pew, pew, pew, pew.
64
00:06:41,815 --> 00:06:43,575
I grabbed you up outta that pram
65
00:06:43,575 --> 00:06:45,543
and threw myself on top of you.
66
00:06:45,543 --> 00:06:47,993
It's a wonder I
didn't crush you.
67
00:06:47,993 --> 00:06:51,341
And of course being
pregnant with you,
68
00:06:51,341 --> 00:06:52,998
I nearly had you there and then.
69
00:06:54,690 --> 00:06:56,657
Our front door seemed
70
00:06:56,657 --> 00:06:58,348
so far away.
71
00:06:59,729 --> 00:07:03,457
So I crawled to the only
bit of shelter I could find
72
00:07:04,562 --> 00:07:05,977
that old pram.
73
00:07:08,151 --> 00:07:09,394
It was then
74
00:07:10,464 --> 00:07:12,328
I saw the bullet hole
75
00:07:12,328 --> 00:07:13,916
[soft music]
76
00:07:13,916 --> 00:07:16,194
it must have missed you
by less than an inch.
77
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,682
And do you know what
the chances were
78
00:07:21,682 --> 00:07:24,547
of that bullet missing
you by less than an inch?
79
00:07:24,547 --> 00:07:27,343
- A million to one?
- Yes.
80
00:07:27,343 --> 00:07:29,345
A million to one.
81
00:07:30,691 --> 00:07:33,314
So it might be true
82
00:07:33,314 --> 00:07:35,593
that every man has a
bullet with his name on,
83
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:40,149
but it's the fickle
winds of fate
84
00:07:40,149 --> 00:07:41,875
that guide that bullet.
85
00:07:42,772 --> 00:07:44,602
Now go to sleep.
86
00:07:44,602 --> 00:07:45,982

[dramatic music]
89
00:08:12,008 --> 00:08:13,769
- Okay, let go.
- Are you sure?
90
00:08:13,769 --> 00:08:14,873
- Just let go.
91
00:08:14,873 --> 00:08:16,254
- But you can't
ride a bicycle Greg.
92
00:08:16,254 --> 00:08:17,600
- You know they say
that learning to fly
93
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,326
is just like learning
to ride a bike.
94
00:08:19,326 --> 00:08:21,570
- Yeah, but much harder.
95
00:08:21,570 --> 00:08:22,847
- Just let go, will ya?
96
00:08:22,847 --> 00:08:27,886

107
00:08:56,605 --> 00:08:57,709
- I'm okay.
108
00:08:57,709 --> 00:09:00,022
- I think you broke
my new bicycle.
109
00:09:00,022 --> 00:09:01,644
Dad's gonna kill me.

as good as you got?
118
00:09:24,218 --> 00:09:25,910
- Better.

00:09:31,743 --> 00:09:33,780
we don't go looking for a fight,
122
00:09:33,780 --> 00:09:36,368
but when the fun comes
knocking on our door
123
00:09:36,368 --> 00:09:39,509
and by God we give them
a fight to remember.
124
00:09:39,509 --> 00:09:41,581
That's the way it's always been.
125
00:09:42,754 --> 00:09:43,617

well tell you this now

your dirty work for you now?

I thought I'd raise my son to be
167
00:11:39,284 --> 00:11:42,356
a big, strong, proud Irishman?
168
00:11:42,356 --> 00:11:44,393
To stand on his own two feet.

Not hide behind my skirt.

You know how things have been
between me and him recently.

It might just be
easier coming from you.

- Nothing worth having
has ever come easy.

You're too much alike, that's
always been the problem.

I'll go get changed.
183
00:12:21,913 --> 00:12:25,399
- Do you know I'll always
remember taking you
184
00:12:25,399 --> 00:12:28,299
to that air show at Baldonnel.
185
00:12:28,299 --> 00:12:32,475
I paid 10 Bob and watched
you go up in that plane.
186
00:12:32,475 --> 00:12:34,339
You were so excited.
187
00:12:35,133 --> 00:12:37,170
And when you landed,
188
00:12:37,170 --> 00:12:38,516
you came running right up to me
189
00:12:38,516 --> 00:12:39,862
and you grabbed hold of my hand
190
00:12:39,862 --> 00:12:42,037
and you said to me, "This!
191
00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:44,764
"This is what I want to do."
192
00:12:47,456 --> 00:12:49,389
Don't you worry about us.
193
00:12:49,389 --> 00:12:50,493
We'll manage.
194
00:12:50,493 --> 00:12:51,598
We always do.
195
00:12:51,598 --> 00:12:52,910
[door opens]
196
00:12:52,910 --> 00:12:55,326
[soft music]
197
00:12:56,534 --> 00:12:57,984
[door closes]
198
00:13:00,952 --> 00:13:02,712
Bren has something to tell you.
199
00:13:02,712 --> 00:13:05,198
[soft music]
200
00:13:08,546 --> 00:13:10,375
- I wanna join the RAF dad
201
00:13:11,169 --> 00:13:12,308
if they'll have me.
202
00:13:14,552 --> 00:13:15,725
- I see
203
00:13:17,589 --> 00:13:19,177
- They're offering short
service commissions
204
00:13:19,177 --> 00:13:21,145
for successful applicants.
205
00:13:21,145 --> 00:13:23,492
I'll get to fly planes
and be paid for it.
206
00:13:23,492 --> 00:13:25,943
[soft music]
207
00:13:28,290 --> 00:13:30,050
- Have you any idea what
they'd say back home
208
00:13:30,050 --> 00:13:31,914
if they found out that one
of Andy Finucane's boys
209
00:13:31,914 --> 00:13:33,398
was thinking of
joining the British-
210
00:13:33,398 --> 00:13:35,953
- Joining the RAF won't make
me some kind of a deserter,
211
00:13:37,230 --> 00:13:39,197
but the Irish and English
aren't fighting anymore.
212
00:13:39,197 --> 00:13:40,750
These are different times now.
213
00:13:41,751 --> 00:13:42,649
Dad,
214
00:13:44,168 --> 00:13:45,617
this is what I want to do.
215
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,482
I wanna fly.
216
00:13:50,346 --> 00:13:53,418
- And what happens if
they turn you down? Hmm?
217
00:13:53,418 --> 00:13:55,144
You think Mr. Atkins is
just gonna take you back?
218
00:13:55,144 --> 00:13:58,251
- If I fail the course,
I'm not coming home.
219
00:13:59,424 --> 00:14:00,356
So you needn't worry.
220
00:14:05,016 --> 00:14:07,191
- You're always one with
your head in the clouds.
221
00:14:07,191 --> 00:14:09,641
[soft music]
222
00:14:11,678 --> 00:14:12,921
I suppose you're
with him on this.
223
00:14:12,921 --> 00:14:15,061
- I'm old enough to
make my own decision.
224
00:14:15,061 --> 00:14:18,581
[dramatic music]
225
00:14:18,581 --> 00:14:21,826
- Yes, I suppose you are.
226
00:14:21,826 --> 00:14:24,622
[dramatic music]
227
00:14:29,938 --> 00:14:32,423
[soft music]
228
00:14:40,741 --> 00:14:44,124
[footsteps approaching]
229
00:14:45,850 --> 00:14:48,266
- I was wondering
when you'd show up.
230
00:14:49,716 --> 00:14:52,857
[footsteps thudding]
231
00:14:55,411 --> 00:14:58,000
[chair creaking]
[Priest exhales]
232
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,175
Your father was in here earlier,
233
00:15:00,175 --> 00:15:01,935
same Look on his face too.
234
00:15:04,248 --> 00:15:06,319
Told me all about you
235
00:15:06,319 --> 00:15:08,838
wanting to join the
British Air Force.
236
00:15:08,838 --> 00:15:10,219
- It's The Royal Air Force.
237
00:15:11,876 --> 00:15:13,188
Sorry.
238
00:15:13,188 --> 00:15:15,224
It's just, it's the
Royal Air Force.
239
00:15:17,675 --> 00:15:18,572
- Anyhow.
240
00:15:19,711 --> 00:15:20,954
I tell you what I
told your father
241
00:15:20,954 --> 00:15:22,300
when he was sitting there.
242
00:15:24,889 --> 00:15:26,408
[Priest exhales]
243
00:15:26,408 --> 00:15:28,962
You know, for the life of me,
I can't remember who it was.
244
00:15:28,962 --> 00:15:31,378
Anyway, someone once said
245
00:15:31,378 --> 00:15:33,794
that the cost of not
following your heart
246
00:15:33,794 --> 00:15:36,832
is to spend the rest of your
life wishing that you had.
247
00:15:39,869 --> 00:15:42,010
And he should know
more than most,
248
00:15:42,010 --> 00:15:44,357
what with him one moment,
the big freedom fighter
249
00:15:44,357 --> 00:15:46,462
leading the charge
against English
250
00:15:46,462 --> 00:15:48,913
with the devil there
himself by his side
251
00:15:48,913 --> 00:15:50,535
[soft music]
252
00:15:50,535 --> 00:15:51,915
and then suddenly
decided he's going
253
00:15:51,915 --> 00:15:54,367
to go and marry an
English woman. Hmm.
254
00:15:55,506 --> 00:15:56,886
What I wouldn't give
to be a fly on the wall
255
00:15:56,886 --> 00:15:58,647
when he told his father that.
256
00:15:58,647 --> 00:16:01,063
[soft music]
257
00:16:02,444 --> 00:16:07,104
But you know, I think maybe
he's worried about you too.
258
00:16:08,691 --> 00:16:09,969
What with the paper's saying
259
00:16:09,969 --> 00:16:12,005
that we might be at
war with Germany soon.
260
00:16:14,283 --> 00:16:16,699
But I told him, "I'm
sure old St. Kevin
261
00:16:16,699 --> 00:16:18,184
"will be looking after ya."
262
00:16:18,184 --> 00:16:21,601
Aye, him for sure having
a soft spot for the birds
263
00:16:21,601 --> 00:16:25,156
and the creatures
of the air. Hm.
264
00:16:26,433 --> 00:16:29,678
I'm sure he'd be very
proud of our Dublin flyer.
265
00:16:32,888 --> 00:16:34,855
Anyway, be off with you.
266
00:16:34,855 --> 00:16:37,479
I have the Lord's work to do
267
00:16:37,479 --> 00:16:39,929
and he can be a
very impatient man.
268
00:16:39,929 --> 00:16:44,969
[footsteps disappearing]
[soft music]
269
00:16:50,457 --> 00:16:52,908

[drawer opens]
271
00:16:58,672 --> 00:17:00,122
[drawer closes]
272
00:17:04,194 --> 00:17:06,300
- I heard you were
leaving us today?
273
00:17:06,300 --> 00:17:07,371
- Oh Jean.
274
00:17:07,371 --> 00:17:09,131
[gentle music]
275
00:17:09,131 --> 00:17:11,512
I was gonna pop
around just after,
276
00:17:13,204 --> 00:17:14,516
after I finished packing.
277
00:17:18,968 --> 00:17:20,348
[Jean chuckles]
278
00:17:20,348 --> 00:17:21,178
- Oh here.
279
00:17:22,523 --> 00:17:23,835
[lock latches]
280
00:17:23,835 --> 00:17:25,560
But I'm glad you were
going to say goodbye.
281
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,012
We are neighbors after all.
- Yes, of course.
282
00:17:28,012 --> 00:17:29,565
I've just been busy here
283
00:17:30,704 --> 00:17:34,225
sorting things out
and packing, you know.
284
00:17:35,847 --> 00:17:37,435
[soft music]
285
00:17:37,435 --> 00:17:38,747
You look nice.
286
00:17:41,198 --> 00:17:44,235
- Thanks. But I always dress
like this for work, so.
287
00:17:45,478 --> 00:17:47,790
[soft music]
288
00:17:47,790 --> 00:17:48,688
- Well?
289
00:17:50,552 --> 00:17:53,072
- Well I have to
go or I'll be late.
290
00:17:55,177 --> 00:17:56,834
Just wanted to
wish you good luck.
291
00:17:56,834 --> 00:18:01,356
[soft music]
[footsteps thudding]
292
00:18:01,356 --> 00:18:02,219
- Can I?
293
00:18:04,290 --> 00:18:05,567
[Brendan sighs]
294
00:18:06,775 --> 00:18:07,638
Would it be all right
295
00:18:07,638 --> 00:18:09,709
if I wrote to you
296
00:18:11,297 --> 00:18:12,160
sometimes?
297
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:14,817
- I'd like that.
298
00:18:15,887 --> 00:18:18,511
[gentle music]
299
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:21,755
- I better go,
300
00:18:23,343 --> 00:18:24,206
train to catch.
301
00:18:25,069 --> 00:18:26,381
- Oh, just a moment.
302
00:18:27,313 --> 00:18:30,937
[footsteps approaching]
303
00:18:30,937 --> 00:18:33,422
[soft music]
304
00:18:34,872 --> 00:18:36,908
There. That's better.
305
00:18:36,908 --> 00:18:39,359
[soft music]
306
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,465
Do make sure that
nothing happens to you.
307
00:18:42,362 --> 00:18:44,813
- Ah. What's gonna happen to me?
308
00:18:48,575 --> 00:18:50,163
- I have to go or I'll be late.
309
00:18:51,060 --> 00:18:53,511
[soft music]
310
00:18:59,931 --> 00:19:00,967
- You'll be off then.
311
00:19:02,071 --> 00:19:04,522
[soft music]
312
00:19:06,628 --> 00:19:08,319
- You take care now son.
313
00:19:08,319 --> 00:19:10,908
And write to us as
soon as you can.
314
00:19:10,908 --> 00:19:13,393
[soft music]
315
00:19:25,681 --> 00:19:27,373
- You be a good boy now. Okay?
316
00:19:28,581 --> 00:19:29,478
You too.
317
00:19:30,479 --> 00:19:31,687
Mom's gonna be
keeping me updated
318
00:19:31,687 --> 00:19:33,275
on all those dancing
lessons of yours.
319
00:19:33,275 --> 00:19:35,760
So I'll be wanting a
dance when I get back.
320
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,693
Keep at it. Okay?
321
00:19:37,693 --> 00:19:40,179
[soft music]
322
00:19:46,426 --> 00:19:48,704
- It sounds like riding a
bike flying those things,
323
00:19:48,704 --> 00:19:50,775
maybe try landing
this time, huh?
324
00:19:50,775 --> 00:19:53,640
[hands tapping]

00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,125
[soft music]
326
00:20:05,238 --> 00:20:06,135
- Good luck, boy.
327
00:20:07,482 --> 00:20:08,931
And remember-
- I know dad.
328
00:20:10,209 --> 00:20:12,797
Failure is unknown in
the Finucane household.
329
00:20:15,006 --> 00:20:16,663
And I meant what I said if I do.

00:20:17,699 --> 00:20:20,495
[dramatic music]
331
00:20:50,387 --> 00:20:53,424
- Go. Fly Finucane.

- Excuse me.
335
00:21:09,785 --> 00:21:12,823
Do you mind telling me
what do you intend to do
336
00:21:12,823 --> 00:21:15,584
about that hedge that's
coming towards us?

[plane engine idling]
342
00:22:03,667 --> 00:22:07,326
Well, Mr. Finucane
I can tell you this.
343
00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:11,260
You most certainly are
not the next best thing.
344
00:22:12,676 --> 00:22:13,608
No indeed.
345
00:22:17,094 --> 00:22:18,578
You are the original.

00:22:22,789 --> 00:22:25,274

[both laugh]
348
00:22:35,284 --> 00:22:37,770
- Why don't you just
give up Paddy, ey?
349
00:22:37,770 --> 00:22:41,221
Let's face it God never intended
an Irishman to fly, did he?
350
00:22:41,221 --> 00:22:43,983
Oh, don't look so sad.
351
00:22:43,983 --> 00:22:46,434
[both laugh]
352
00:22:52,543 --> 00:22:55,408
Oi, oi, oi, steady on lads.
353
00:22:55,408 --> 00:22:57,755
What's all this about then? Eh?
354
00:22:57,755 --> 00:23:00,896
Now listen. My little
four leaf clover,
355
00:23:00,896 --> 00:23:03,105
I know that blockhead of yours,
356
00:23:03,105 --> 00:23:05,625
likes to take a little
knock or two, doesn't it?
357
00:23:05,625 --> 00:23:09,836
But trust me, you do not
wanna get into it with him.
358
00:23:09,836 --> 00:23:14,427
See this? This is
Roy Battler Lane
359
00:23:14,427 --> 00:23:17,257
Worcester Amateur
boxing club's champion.
360
00:23:17,257 --> 00:23:19,743
How many years is
it now, Roy? Two?
361
00:23:19,743 --> 00:23:20,778

The reason is everything
happened so quick.

A tremendous amount of
thinking, action, emotion.
555
00:36:12,170 --> 00:36:15,103
On my last flight I
shot down two Me's

and the next day, one more.
557

I have just heard about Ray
being recalled back from leave.

I thought it was
pretty tough on him
