Bloody Sunday Page #4

---

No one's getting in or out.

You've got Normandy landings

down there.

That's gonna be the flash point

so I'm bringing everybody

down here.

The march is coming down here.

These guys are gonna be

right here.

So, nobody's getting

through here.

William Street is the key thing.

- Do we have enough stewards?

- We have enough.

Michael, will you go

and ask the other fellas

to come down

as quickly as possible, please?

- Is that the Provos?

- The Provos are down there.

What the hell

are they doing here?

Well, they're

just sniffing about.

Basically,

I think they must think

that the Brits have invaded

the place.

Oh, Jesus, I've been

down William Street.

- Really?

- Have you spoken to them yet?

I'm-I'm gonna have a quick word

with the Commanding Officer

in just a moment.

I will, I will.

- Well, I'll see you down there.

- Right.

Stress to those boys that we're

in control up here, will ya?

Yep. Yep. How do?

My name is Ivan Cooper.

I'm a Member of Parliament

for this area.

- Come on, sir, back off.

- Uh, sorry.

You couldn't do us a favor

and move this back a bit?

It's just the march is coming...

No, you're not, mate.

You're participating

in an illegal march, sir.

Now back off from the barricade.

Back off

from the barricade, sir.

What gives you the right

to stop us marching in our city?

You're participating

in an illegal march.

Who says that?

The sooner we can march

in our own city...

We're just doing our job.

Back off.

...to the Guildhall, the sooner

we'll have civil rights.

We're just doing our job.

Back off.

Well, it's a basic principle

of democracy.

Northern Ireland Government

has barred this march.

Right, thank you.

Jesus.

No, I can't get

through to them.

Oh, hold on.

Mrs. Hegarty, I hope

you're joining us today.

Now, no excuses.

I can't. It's me Uncle John.

He's been on bucket all night.

Uh-huh, that's right.

Was it the beer, aye?

No, it wasn't.

He's sick, Mr. Cooper.

All right, Mrs. Hegarty.

Listen up. What are we gonna do?

We're gonna march.

Are you sure about this?

We've gotta march,

we've gotta march, Kevin.

I'll tell you, listen,

if we don't march

civil rights is dead

in this city.

The movement's dead.

We have got to march.

Sort the stewards out.

I'm gonna talk to the Provos.

- Okay. All right.

- Keep it up.

Right, gentlemen.

Be very careful.

Just go straight home.

There's a huge military buildup,

and they've got us surrounded.

Father, I'm going to miss you.

Yeah. Keep your eye on the...

on the young people, okay?

Mind yourself. Hiya, lads.

Listen, there's a lot

of Army around, okay?

Ah, don't worry, Father.

So be very careful, lads, okay.
