Behaving like animals,

before the Brits come back. Come on.

There was two of them.

One got away.

Why didn't you shoot him?

It jammed.

Oh, for f***'s sake.

- What you're supposed to be doing.

There was an agreement.

D'you understand the shite

Do you?

There's going to be Brits

- We'll fight them.

- No, you f***ing won't!

And stand your men down.

You, get away home.

I'll f***ing see you later!

Get up that road, you.

Come on.

After the Brit.

Sean, I'm serious.

Don't get involved.

Not with them.

D'you hear me?

Is that you, Sean?

Yeah.

How was college?

Good, good.

Are you hungry, love?

I'm just going to go upstairs

and put my jacket down.

I'm putting it on the table now.

The new boys are back.

They've taken a right hiding.

Two soldiers missing as well.

It's not good.

They're out there now looking for them.

Are you sure about tonight, sir?

Come back, come back,

Please don't bring them back here.

Stay quiet.

Ssh.

What barracks are you in?

I dunno, I was in a school.

Was it Maghaberry?

Are you lost?

Come on,

I'll take you back to your barracks.

Come on.
