Aye, but it's just stones,

Father.

You know, it's not that bad.

Yeah, but Gerry,

Okay, take care, Martin.

Aye, I know what you're saying.

Yeah, so how do you feel

having given yourself up?

I feel it's better

for the long run.

Sorry, Father.

Pray for us, Father

because it's gonna be

a terrible day.

We will indeed. Yeah, yeah.

Now, keep an eye on the young

people going home, okay?

- Get them to go home.

You know, it's better

for the long run.

At least I've no... not worrying

about getting caught.

I don't know how I can go on

with me life.

I think you've done

the right thing

and you just can't afford

to be back down there again.

Aye, I don't want to go back,

Father, so I don't.

No, I'll not be rioting.

So, are you going

Aye, I'm going on the march,

so I am.

Me and all the boys are going,

Yeah, well, you'd better

Right, Father.

So, listen, I'll probably

see you down there.

All right, Father.

Watch yourself.

I'll see you later on,

all right, Father?

Okay. Yeah, you mind yourself,

and God bless. Take care.

What did he say, Gerry?

He just asked me

how I was getting on.

Up the Rah!

Here, boys, here, boys,

here, listen, here.

Don't want no trouble today,

now, I mean it.

There's women and children gonna

be in this march, all right?

Get out of the...

Yeah. No, listen, come on.

You're gonna make it worse

if you start

antagonizing these boys.

Just leave them alone;

join us.

It's a big day for us.

Women and children are

gonna be safe now, I mean it.

No acting the idiot.

Keep it calmed down.

You bastards!

Go home, you scum!

You bastard.

Get the f*** out, trash!

Just checking

you're keeping the guns away.

That's no concern of yours,

Ivan.

You gave me your word.

Then take it.

We just want a peaceful march.

This is our day.

People are fed up

with the shootings

and the...

Convoy has just

come over Craigavan Bridge

and they've set up barricades

on William Street.
