It's about 150 yards

of waste ground

through the derelict buildings

and we'll be on William Street

and behind the marchers.

So, what about the, uh, stickies

and pyra presence

over in the Bogside?

Are we gonna...?

Well, they're there, and-and...

of the Derry young hooligans,

We want a lot of arrests today

and if the shooting starts

we're gonna shoot back

plenty of rounds.

I'll take him away.

Walk away, walk away.

Come on, walk away.

Thank you, thank you.

Good to see youse.

I'll see youse later.

Thank you. There you are.

The Bogside is a f***ing mess.

We've got to go in there,

get a grip of it.

We've got to teach these people

a lesson.

So make sure the guys know

who the leaders

of these f***ers are.

- Yes, sir.

- Okay?

And let's go and get 'em.

Everyone's got to have a handle

on these key players.

I want them lifted

off the street today.

We're gonna have these guys.

That's why we're out there.

Make sure the guys know.

I wanna see all of them

in the bag.

Quite clear?

It's the end of our tour.

Let's teach 'em

a f***ing lesson.

Let's do the business.

Let's make the CO proud of us.

I wanna show the Brigade

what One Para are made of.

Is that all clear?

Yeah, no problem.

Any questions?

Do we just go in on our own?

We're not taking anybody else

with us?

Support Company,

Charlie Company, that's it.

All right, boys? Stewards!

Jesus.

What we've got here is

a pressure cooker situation.

Kevin.

Just a minute.

Just bear with me one minute.

So?

So, uh, whole city's shut down.
