Omagh Page #2

Synopsis: 15 August 1998: the Real IRA exploded a bomb on a crowded street in Omagh, just into Northern Ireland, to halt the Good Friday accords and peace process; 29 people died. Families formed the Omagh Support Group to press the police in their inquiries. The film focuses on the Gallagher family, who lose their son Aiden. His father, Michael, a mechanic, becomes chair of the support group. The press for answers strains his relationship with his wife. High-ranking police speak in bromides. Shadowy figures offer intelligence that calls into question the integrity before and after the bombing of the Royal Ulster Constabulary and its Special Branch. Will the murders remain unsolved?

Thank you very much.

Everyone move down to the bottom

of the hill.

Sorry, lads,

you can't go up there.

We just want to pop around

the corner.

No, we need to clear you down

to the bottom of the hill.

There's a security alert

at the courthouse,

so we need to get you to

the bottom of Market Street.

Cathy's in the Salad Bowl.

I'm supposed to tell her

to get stuff for Mummy.

We'll head that way now.

I'm back!

You can stop that, Mummy.

I'll make some tea.

Did you see Aiden?

He was looking for you.

No, I must've missed him.

Could've lifted me home.

Can I just ask you to move down

to the bottom of the street?

Gentlemen, this way.

Thank you.

Bottom of the street here.

Thank you.

This is gonna keep us back now.

We should be all right, like.

Keep moving there. Walking

to the bottom of the hill.

I'd buy you a cup of tea,

anyway.

You can get it around downtown?

No need for alarm, sir.

Thank you very much.

She's looking for you.

This is really exciting.

- We have time for a sticky bun.

- And a cup of coffee.

Okay.

Thanks.

Ice cream?

For God's sake,

someone get an ambulance!

Come on, girls.

Help!

Be careful.

Keep plenty of pressure on it.

She won't get up!

We need an ambulance!

Could someone call an ambulance?

Alan?

Alan Radford?

Mena!

Get me out of this place!

Ease him out.

Can someone help me

take this child?

Yes, you are bleeding,

but please stop moving.

Please! Somebody!

Please help us!

Will somebody please help us?

Daddy! Daddy, there's been

a bomb in town.

I came straight over.

Dad, Cathy was down there.

Christ.

Patsy?

Patsy!

Patsy?

Have you seen Cathy?

It's not me.

It's Aiden.

- He's not back yet.

- He hasn't rung.

People are injured.

He'll be helping.

But he would've phoned us

by now.

Look, I'll go and find him.

I'll go with you, Daddy.

You stay with your mum.

Stay with your mummy.

- Michael!

- No, Mum, it's all right.

No, Mummy. It'll be grand.

Mummy, honestly.

Come on, let's go inside.

Come on, come on.

Go back up the street.

That's it. Thank you.

Come on,

get yourselves sorted out.

We're blocking off

George Street.

Move it!

Come on!

Excuse me.

Can I go in there?

No, I'm sorry, sir.

But my son.

We're evacuating the area, sir.

I know, but Aiden will be

helping with the rescue.

Sir, it's only official

personnel allowed in.

Aye, but he would be official

if he was helping.

I have to find him.

You need to get to a hospital.

He might be helping there.

Hospital?

All right, some pumps there

as a precaution

down your right-hand side.

Please help!

Please help!

Go on, go through.

Aiden?

Aiden?

Have you seen my son anywhere?

Aiden?
