00:02:51 Glory, glory, hallelujah
00:02:56 Glory, glory, hallelujah
00:03:01 Glory, glory, hallelujah
00:03:06 His truth is marching on
00:03:11 In the beauty of the lilies
00:03:16 With a glory in his bosom
00:03:22 As he died to make men holy
00:03:27 While God is marching on
00:03:33 Glory, glory, hallelujah
00:03:38 Glory, glory, hallelujah
00:03:43 Glory, glory, hallelujah
00:03:47 His truth is marching on
00:03:54 Please be seated.
00:03:59 Chuck always said to me,
00:04:03 [PEOPLE CHUCKLING]
00:04:04 So he'd be pleased that
00:04:07 is going to say a few words.
00:04:23 Um...
00:04:25 First of all, I know that Daddy
00:04:28 to see so many veterans here today.
00:04:31 Especially members
00:04:36 I guess, he would want to talk...
00:04:39 Sorry.
00:04:41 I guess he would want me
00:04:45 and about the most important thing
00:04:49 his love for my mother.
00:04:53 He was a brave man in wartime,
00:04:57 and in the time of the long illness
00:05:03 But his was an unspoken bravery.
00:05:07 His heroism was as quiet
00:05:13 Many who loved him...
00:05:15 [MARIE SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
00:05:19 You don't smoke.
00:05:22 I thought I'd take it up again.
00:05:27 - You should be in there, you know.
00:05:30 I just can't sit there
00:05:34 I understand.
00:05:45 Only you would understand.
00:05:49 - I'm really sorry.
00:05:54 No, I mean about being late.
00:05:56 I mean, I'm sorry about that too, I just...
00:06:00 [ETHEL CHUCKLES]
00:06:03 Uh...
00:06:05 It's all gassed up, Dad. It's ready to go.
00:06:08 Ah, good.
00:06:12 You sure you want this?
00:06:14 He would.
00:06:17 MARIE: You won't remember Daddy
00:06:21 As you know, he didn't say much.
00:06:24 He never spoke to me about the past,
00:06:29 and about his medals.
00:06:31 Not even once.
00:06:34 He felt that a man should be judged
00:06:38 and for the way that he led his life.
00:06:42 ETHEL: Marie will be upset
00:06:45 Oh...
00:06:47 I don't think Marie cares either way
00:06:53 - Your husband was a fine man.
00:06:56 - You'll miss him very much.
00:07:00 Well, I know you loved him, so...
00:07:04 He never believed that, Peter.
00:07:06 All the years I wore this ring,
00:07:15 Uh...
00:07:16 Would you like me
00:07:19 No. They'll roll him out
00:07:26 At least he has a grave.
00:07:57 Hello?
00:08:01 - Hello.
00:08:05 What the devil do you mean,
00:08:08 - What you digging for?
00:08:11 I'm Jimmy.
00:08:14 Eleanor Reilly's wee lad? I know you.
00:08:17 She's my granny.
00:08:19 My mom went away.
00:08:21 She's expected back any time now.
00:08:25 - Does your granny know you're up here?
00:08:28 Well, you go home.
00:08:29 Tell her Mr. Quinlan said
00:08:33 This is a dangerous place,
00:08:35 The Army's here all the time.
00:08:37 If it's not them, it's the Republicans,
00:08:40 - So, what are you doing here then?
00:08:43 You're digging something.
00:08:45 I dig here sometimes for my granny.
00:08:49 I can keep a secret, you know.
00:08:56 Then you tell me
00:09:01 My granny keeps photographs
00:09:04 You what?
00:09:06 From the war. Americans.
00:09:08 - And that's your secret, is it?
00:09:11 Well, it's not anymore, you half-wit.
00:09:15 But you asked.
00:09:16 Do you wanna spend your whole life
00:09:19 No wonder your mammy buggered off.
00:09:27 Oh, shit.
00:09:29 Jimmy.
00:09:31 Come on, back up here.
00:09:33 Give me a hand. Come on.
00:09:40 And, listen, don't you tell your granny.
00:09:44 Promise.
00:09:46 Cross my heart.
00:09:48 Aye.
00:09:55 What is it?
00:09:58 Treasure.
00:10:00 The past, boy.
00:10:02 The past.
00:10:03 [PLAYING TAPS]
00:10:19 [BELL TOLLING]
00:10:35 [MAN CRYING]

00:10:44 MAN 1:
00:10:47 MAN 2:
00:10:54 [VETERANS LAUGHING]
00:10:58 [CHEERING]
00:11:03 Was that your crazy father?
00:11:05 It's a tradition, Marie.
00:11:06 - God, you're as stupid as he is.
00:11:10 MARIE:
00:11:12 Don't make a fuss, Marie. It's exactly
00:11:16 Oh, really? Is he doing it for Daddy,
00:11:19 You don't know
00:11:21 Is he coming around again?
00:11:23 Oh, I certainly hope so.
00:11:26 You should take this.
00:11:29 [AIR-RAID SIREN WAILING]
00:11:33 FIREMAN:
00:11:35 That's it. Hold on, on the right.
00:11:42 MAGINTY: Michael Quinlan,
00:11:45 Get in that shelter right away.
00:11:48 WARDEN:
00:11:50 Run. No messing about.
00:11:58 MAGINTY:
00:12:01 - Well, where did you expect to find me?
00:12:05 In the Georgian Hotel
00:12:09 I do more for the war effort than you,
00:12:12 Making your wooly underwear
00:12:14 And you taking it off
00:12:17 [WOMEN LAUGHING]
00:12:20 IGNATIUS: Ah, Michael,
00:12:22 You'd have got here in time for a seat.
00:12:23 SMITH:
00:12:26 Will you be joining the army,
00:12:29 No, I'm gonna be a fireman like my dad.
00:12:31 BOY: Sit here, Michael.
00:12:34 SMITH: No.
00:12:36 We can't possibly mix
00:12:39 I'm forced to agree with him there,
00:12:42 [EXPLOSION]
00:12:44 [BABY CRYING]
00:12:48 Cathal? Sweet Jesus, is that you?
00:12:52 Cathal, you'll get yourself caught.
00:12:56 I don't care.
00:12:57 Here, these are for you.
00:13:05 Eggs? Dear God in heaven.
00:13:08 He has connections over the border.
00:13:10 Thought you were away fighting
00:13:13 He's right.
00:13:16 Is he fighting for the Germans?
00:13:17 Irish Republican Army.
00:13:20 MAGINTY:
00:13:21 Thousands of good Catholic Irishmen
00:13:24 fighting against Fascism.
00:13:26 My son's one of them.
00:13:28 - And you, you're a damned traitor.
00:13:31 WILKINS:
00:13:36 Hello? You all right in there?
00:13:38 - Cathal, no.
00:13:41 - If he's a policeman, I'll kill him.
00:13:45 - They won't know you.
00:13:50 - Hurry up, come on.
00:13:55 Don't. Don't say a word.
00:14:01 - Evening.
00:14:03 - Everyone all right?
00:14:06 - We're fine.
00:14:07 Do you think they've gone
00:14:10 There may be some unexploded stuff.
00:14:11 So best stay down here
00:14:14 Could you pass the word?
00:14:16 WARDEN: We need an ambulance
00:14:19 I like your helmet.
00:14:23 What on earth is this?
00:14:26 Where did you get it?
00:14:30 Bloody thing's loaded.
00:14:33 Who gave this to you?
00:14:35 You little idiot, Quinlan.
00:14:38 Belonged to his old dad.
00:14:42 He'll scalp your arse, so he will.
00:14:44 WILKINS:
00:14:46 No need to tell the police, though.
00:14:49 WILKINS:
00:14:52 Are the police up there now?
00:14:55 - Just my chaps from the barracks.
00:14:58 - and give you a hand, sir.
00:15:00 - Oh, Jesus.
00:15:03 We should have given you up.
00:15:05 Oh, you could have, but you didn't.
00:15:09 None of you did.
00:15:14 JIMMY: Is this what we're looking for,
00:15:16 Just a piece of iron?
00:15:18 Aluminum.
00:15:20 From the fuselage.
00:15:23 Biggest piece I ever found. B-17.
00:15:28 - You know what that is?
00:15:31 - A band.
00:15:34 It's an airplane, you idiot.
00:15:36 - Oh, right.
00:15:39 Fifty years ago.
00:15:42 Ten people killed.
00:15:44 Blown to bits.
00:15:48 They've all forgotten, but I remember.
00:15:51 You remember it crashing?
00:15:54 I heard it.
00:15:56 I lived down the bottom.
00:16:01 Why do you do this for, Mr. Quinlan?
00:16:03 What are you looking for?
00:16:05 - Why should I be looking for anything?
00:16:10 Just shut you up
00:16:13 See if we can lift it.
00:16:26 [MARCHING BAND PLAYING]
00:16:33 Hey, Ethel Ann, come on.
00:16:35 But...
00:16:37 Okay.
00:16:40 - Wilbur?
00:17:00 MAN 1: Okay, chocks in and checked.
00:17:03 MAN 3:
00:17:05 MAN 4:
00:17:06 MAN 1:
00:17:10 That's the most incredible thing
00:17:12 You're telling me?
00:17:13 Hello, fellas. That was fantastic.
00:17:16 Jack, those B-17s are just the greatest.
00:17:18 It's a piece of cake to fly.
00:17:21 ETHEL:
00:17:22 - I feel like I could though, you know.
00:17:26 Okay, come on.
00:17:28 CHUCK: I wanna go.
00:17:31 So we skip one.
00:17:32 What? You'll get in trouble.
00:17:34 TEDDY: We're all gonna get in trouble,
00:17:37 Yes, trouble. Big trouble.
00:17:42 CHUCK:
00:17:45 [PEOPLE CHATTERING]
00:17:49 [JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]
00:17:53 TEDDY:
00:17:55 and we're thinking,
00:17:58 We're flying at the runway at...
00:18:02 And the instructor says, "Well, buddy..."
00:18:05 - "Well, buddy..." Well...
00:18:09 And the pilot goes, "Oh, shoot."
00:18:13 But he pulls back the stick
00:18:15 Airplane must have been
00:18:18 No, no, no, I saw you guys coming in.
00:18:20 [IMITATES ENGINE DECELERATING
00:18:22 Yeah, that was me.
00:18:26 Anybody want another soda?
00:18:29 - No, thank you.
00:18:32 WAITRESS: Can I get that
00:18:36 What can I get you?
00:18:41 I wish I'd been up there with you.
00:18:43 I really wanna fly.
00:18:45 - I don't think the Air Force would like that.
00:18:53 There's plenty of girl pilots.
00:18:57 Yeah, but not in a B-17.
00:19:00 Not with a bunch of hairy apes like us.
00:19:04 So, what about pilot school?
00:19:05 - Still going?
00:19:07 The other guys are okay
00:19:11 They won't stop me
00:19:13 Bombardier, gunner, I don't care.
00:19:17 Nor do I, as long as you're happy.
00:19:20 I'm happy.
00:19:22 I've never been so happy.
00:19:25 BARMAN: Seems the whole town's
00:19:28 Never thought
00:19:30 Country boy? I'd trust him with my life.
00:19:32 Don't worry, my lips are sealed.
00:19:35 WAITRESS:
00:19:38 Come on.
00:19:40 WAITRESS:
00:19:42 Chuck.
00:19:44 MAN: Well, honey, I said I'd get to it.
00:19:49 JACK:
00:19:54 Yoo-hoo-hoo!
00:20:07 [JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]
00:20:13 [HUMMING]
00:20:24 Marie. Marie.
00:20:27 - I guess you upset her.
00:20:30 [JACK HUMMING]
00:20:33 ETHEL: Stupid tune.
00:20:37 I need a drink.
00:20:39 Steady, you've had a few already.
00:20:42 Why not?
00:20:44 Yeah, what do you want, Ethel?
00:20:46 ETHEL:
00:20:51 JACK:
00:20:53 ETHEL:
00:20:55 I've lived here long enough.
00:20:58 JACK:
00:21:11 - This house.
00:21:14 MARIE:
00:21:17 Coming back to the house
00:21:19 ETHEL:
00:21:22 Sure.
00:21:23 - Jack, thank you for the air raid and all.
00:21:27 MARIE: Scared me half to death.
00:21:30 Yeah, that's what the sheriff said.
00:21:32 But I told him it was an old tradition.
00:21:35 Go home, Jack.
00:21:37 - Oh, what do you mean? Now?
00:21:40 Come on, Dad.
00:21:42 Okay.
00:21:45 Uh, you won't forget
00:21:49 What's that?
00:21:51 Grieve?
00:21:57 Your father's picture at the Air Academy.
00:22:02 Sorry.
00:22:10 You never talk about those times.
00:22:13 - Neither did Dad.
00:22:15 - Did you know a lot of these boys?
00:22:19 - We had some good times.
00:22:23 Could you tell me about them?
00:22:26 What you want to know is whether
00:22:30 - No.
00:22:34 It's not just a picture,
00:22:36 Okay, just forget it.
00:22:40 - Have you been with Pete yet?
00:22:42 Jack's boy, Pete.
00:22:44 Mom, what has gotten into you?
00:22:48 Time you got something
00:22:51 Life is passing you by.
00:22:54 Peter is a nice guy. I'm just not ready.
00:23:01 But you must never,
00:23:07 Mm-mm. As long as you stay there,
00:23:10 You may try to hide him,
00:23:21 Why don't you try it with Peter?
00:23:24 Would you stop talking about sex?
00:23:27 You shouldn't be thinking about that
00:23:29 What the hell else
00:23:32 Daddy. We just buried him.
00:23:34 Mm-hm. Right.
00:23:38 I guess this means
00:23:46 I'm sorry, sweetheart.
00:23:48 Me too.
00:23:51 Your father was a fine man.
00:23:56 I guess I should be grateful to him.
00:23:58 Grateful.
00:24:03 The boys at the Academy... I didn't.
00:24:15 I was faithful.
00:24:18 I was always, always, always faithful.
00:24:26 CHUCK: So how do you say
00:24:29 [JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]
00:24:32 Ai-yi-yi.
00:24:34 [JACK & ETHEL LAUGH]
00:24:38 ETHEL:
00:24:40 CHUCK: He had his cousins helping him
00:24:42 But they're back at the farm now,
00:24:46 DRIVER:
00:24:47 - Good morning.
00:24:49 - Teddy around?
00:24:51 Thank you.
00:25:12 It's beautiful.
00:25:15 He's sure been working hard.
00:25:18 Hey. I wasn't expecting you so soon.
00:25:23 You've framed out the upstairs already?
00:25:25 Sure have.
00:25:27 So much more to do, though.
00:25:29 Could you help me
00:25:31 - That pile up by the road?
00:25:34 Sure. Yeah, we can do that for you.
00:25:37 Come on, Chuck.
00:25:39 - Jack, these are my best clothes.
00:25:44 How come you've told me so little
00:25:47 It's no secret.
00:25:49 Where did you get the money for it?
00:25:50 My dad left me this piece of land.
00:25:53 Little cash.
00:25:55 I worked in a sawmill last summer,
00:26:00 I wanna look upstairs.
00:26:02 [TRUCK ENGINE STARTS]
00:26:04 ETHEL: I thought you told me
00:26:07 TEDDY:
00:26:09 I read books too. Place is solid.
00:26:11 "Building up to a standard,
00:26:14 - is what the lumber guy said.
00:26:17 TEDDY:
00:26:20 He's around here all the time.
00:26:23 Keeps me company.
00:26:24 ETHEL: You've almost moved in.
00:26:28 I may be running out of time.
00:26:30 What do you mean?
00:26:32 The war, I guess.
00:26:35 So it's gonna come, then?
00:26:37 That's why we all joined
00:26:42 Why are you doing all this?
00:26:44 Your folks wouldn't like me one bit.
00:26:46 But when I do ask them,
00:26:52 Something I can give you.
00:26:54 You're building this house for me?
00:26:57 If I get into the Air Force,
00:26:59 and become a sergeant,
00:27:03 And then I could ask your folks.
00:27:06 I'd be some kind of gentleman.
00:27:10 You are a gentleman, Teddy.
00:27:13 I sure don't smell like one just now.
00:27:16 Let me try.
00:27:18 Excuse me?
00:27:21 - Let me smell you.
00:27:26 No.
00:27:29 I wanna remember you,
00:27:41 Don't move.
00:27:55 I wanna remember this moment
00:28:01 CHUCK: Teddy, Ethel Ann?
00:28:06 CHUCK:
00:28:10 Come on, Chuck. Let's go.
00:28:17 [TRUCK DOORS CLOSING]
00:28:21 [TRUCK ENGINE STARTS]
00:28:58 You're so beautiful.
00:29:17 [SNIFFS AND SIGHS]
00:29:27 Sometimes I can still smell it.
00:29:29 - What?
00:29:32 That was 50 years ago.
00:29:35 Some soaked into the ground, maybe.
00:29:37 - I can't smell it, but, look, I found this.
00:29:44 - Granny says I shouldn't mix with you.
00:29:48 She says you're worse than a Protestant.
00:29:51 An atheist.
00:29:54 Mr. Quinlan,
00:29:57 Probably.
00:29:59 Only, there's a man over there.
00:30:05 Turn away, don't look at him.
00:30:07 He'll not bother us.
00:30:10 SEAMUS:
00:30:12 Mr. Thomas to you.
00:30:16 Just an observer.
00:30:19 Do they think
00:30:23 Why did they change the target?
00:30:24 SEAMUS: We wouldn't want to lose
00:30:27 And we have interests in that area.
00:30:30 You mean, you're selling drugs there?
00:30:34 Beautiful view.
00:30:37 Who's the old man?
00:30:38 CATHAL: He's digging up an airplane.
00:30:41 SEAMUS:
00:30:43 I know him.
00:30:47 Digging on Black Mountain
00:30:50 Never know what you'll find.
00:30:53 What I gave you, what is it?
00:30:55 It's very good, a switch.
00:30:58 Radio maybe, intercom.
00:31:00 I'll get it home, do some research.
00:31:03 I found that, you know.
00:31:06 [EXPLOSION]
00:31:09 Shankhill Road.
00:31:11 Aye.
00:31:14 You're an atheist then?
00:31:16 You don't believe in religion,
00:31:18 and God and the Blessed Virgin Mary,
00:31:21 - No.
00:31:23 Thirty years being a fireman

00:31:30 - Will there be a second one?
00:31:32 That's the one does the damage.
00:31:35 They wait until the army get there,
00:31:41 There, it's ready.
00:31:46 Last time a man used this switch
00:31:49 And that man was killed.

00:37:14 - Mom, you all right?
00:37:18 What are you doing in my room?
00:37:21 This is not your room.
00:37:23 What do you mean?
00:37:25 I'm moving back into this room.
00:37:28 But you and Daddy
00:37:33 Okay, if you want my room, that's fine.
00:37:38 Mom, why don't you come
00:37:41 It's a beautiful grave.
00:37:45 Who?
00:37:48 - Dad, of course.
00:37:51 Your father. He was a fine man.
00:37:55 He saved my life, actually.
00:37:57 He picked me up
00:38:03 Always treated me right.
00:38:05 He was a fine man.
00:38:07 Is that what you want?
00:38:11 No, what I want is for you to start grieving
00:38:16 Grieving? Hm.
00:38:19 I was 21 years old.
00:38:22 My life was over.
00:38:24 You don't know what grieving is.
00:38:26 Twenty-one, what do you mean?
00:38:28 It's none of your business.
00:38:30 Mom, that was before you married Daddy,
00:38:34 What happened?
00:38:35 I am going to move in here tonight.
00:38:39 This is my house,
00:38:44 So leave.
00:38:58 BARTENDER:
00:38:59 - Hi.
00:39:03 - Can I get you something?
00:39:05 Peter, would you mind
00:39:08 - Um, sure.
00:39:11 WAITRESS:
00:39:14 When I was a kid,
00:39:17 Your ma used to come here
00:39:19 She loved those disgusting
00:39:24 She...
00:39:26 Her life was over at 21.
00:39:30 Oh.
00:39:31 I'm trying to understand, Jack.
00:39:36 The war happened, for chrissake.
00:39:38 And the kids she knew,
00:39:43 Yeah, but you did. Dad did.
00:39:47 Yeah, that's right.
00:39:50 She nursed him back to health,
00:39:53 No, she said
00:39:58 They helped each other.
00:39:59 All right, so they helped each other,
00:40:02 She said her life was over, Jack.
00:40:05 MAN: Hi, Jack.
00:40:08 Look, um, let me give you
00:40:13 If I were you, I wouldn't just come in here
00:40:20 - The past is gone.
00:40:23 What am I supposed to do?
00:40:26 You don't understand
00:40:29 I knew Chuck for 50 years.
00:40:32 For 40 of them,
00:40:36 Don't tell me I don't understand.
00:40:39 And if your ma
00:40:44 that's none of my business, is it? Mm?
00:40:52 So get the hell out of here.
00:40:59 And that's just what she told me to do.
00:41:07 PETER: Hey, you okay?
00:41:15 What did you say to her?
00:41:17 Too much.
00:41:20 Not enough.
00:42:01 Hey, Granny.
00:42:04 You know, I made you your tea.
00:42:06 It's gone stone-cold,
00:42:10 No, not more of that filthy stuff.
00:42:14 Oh, no, Jimmy. Look, at least,
00:42:17 Don't be using my good knife, no, no.
00:42:19 I wish you wouldn't
00:42:21 I wish you wouldn't, things go on there,
00:42:25 - What things?
00:42:28 And I wish you wouldn't mess around
00:42:32 - He said he knew you when were young.
00:42:35 Never, never, never.
00:42:38 - He's a born liar, that fella. Always was.
00:42:43 If you spent more time
00:42:45 - Don't be stupid, Granny.
00:42:48 - I've worked all my life.
00:42:50 Then go to London, find your mother.
00:42:52 And that pimp she ran away with.
00:42:54 And don't... And clean that up
00:42:56 And don't use the sink again.
00:42:58 This is not a hotel, you know.
00:43:00 This is me who has to keep
00:43:03 I'm not spending my life
00:43:05 [ELEANOR SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

00:43:28 "Ethel and..."
00:43:31 "Teddy."
00:43:34 Ethel and Teddy.
00:43:37 [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
00:43:39 Teddy?
00:43:41 Looking sharp.
00:43:42 - You ready?
00:43:44 - You want a beer?
00:43:46 TEDDY: Mm-hm. Great.
00:43:47 - Jack stole the key.
00:43:50 This place looks great.
00:43:52 I thought I'd bring her
00:43:55 Carry her across the threshold.
00:43:57 JACK:
00:43:59 Oh, no. Me and Ethel Ann,
00:44:01 This is the last time
00:44:03 before we leave,
00:44:07 So I'm not gonna be able
00:44:09 You will, we've got plans. We're
00:44:14 There's no... There's no chance of that.
00:44:17 Yes, there is.
00:44:18 I've been dating this girl
00:44:21 - I can pull some strings.
00:44:26 - No.
00:44:28 What do you mean?
00:44:31 Well, I mean, you know,
00:44:35 - All three of us in one B-17.
00:44:40 No.
00:44:42 Okay, we are not all flying
00:44:48 If I don't make it through this,
00:44:51 then I gotta know that
00:44:57 To take my place.
00:44:59 There's no one
00:45:02 Really?
00:45:04 So I'm the only person in this room
00:45:10 What are you talking about?
00:45:14 No, I mean, I think she's a great girl.
00:45:18 TEDDY: You're not in love with her?
00:45:20 All right.
00:45:24 But Chuck is.
00:45:29 God, Teddy, l...
00:45:31 TEDDY:
00:45:33 It's okay.
00:45:37 She's yours, Teddy. I never...
00:45:40 I would never, ever, I swear.
00:45:43 Chuck, shut up.
00:45:47 It's just practical.
00:45:51 I need to know that there'll be
00:45:58 What about Jack?
00:46:00 - Jack?
00:46:03 TEDDY:
00:46:05 I drink, smoke, belch.
00:46:06 And he can't dance.
00:46:08 I can't dance. You're the dancer, Chuck.
00:46:10 - You're the guy.
00:46:12 You're gonna... You're gonna come back,
00:46:16 I'm gonna find a nice girl from Idaho.
00:46:19 JACK: She'll be a potato.
00:46:22 So it's all right then, if I can fix it.
00:46:25 I mean, no reason why you and I
00:46:28 Jack, that'd be great.
00:46:30 - Teddy, I never... I never...
00:46:39 I know that, Chuck.
00:46:41 But if something happens to me, you gotta
00:46:46 Promise me.
00:46:49 I promise.
00:46:52 Jack, you promise to help?
00:46:55 Sure. I promise.
00:46:59 - You guys believe in God?
00:47:04 I don't know.
00:47:07 No, me neither.
00:47:10 We're gonna say a prayer.
00:47:17 Dear God, tomorrow
00:47:20 and today I'm getting married.
00:47:24 Both of which are pretty dangerous.
00:47:30 [DOORBELL RINGS]

00:51:03 Are you there?
00:51:06 What do you want?
00:51:07 I have something belonging to you.
00:51:09 Well, I think it belongs to you. It's a ring.
00:51:13 A gold ring.
00:51:16 - A ring?
00:51:21 Hello? Can you hear me?
00:51:25 [PHONE BEEPING]
00:51:26 Oh, bugger. Wait a minute.
00:51:27 Wait, wait there.
00:51:30 Please, do you have any money?
00:51:31 Aye, I do, and I've a mind to use it
00:51:34 - if you would get the frig out of there.
00:51:37 Look, listen to me,
00:51:42 I'll call you back.
00:51:48 Bugger.
00:51:53 Sorry. America, long distance.

00:52:21 Bloody hell. It's 6:30 in the morning.
00:52:24 Please, I need a phone.
00:52:27 It wasn't your brains, was it? Go to hell.
00:52:30 I found a ring on the mountain.
00:52:32 A gold ring.
00:52:35 It's got names on it.
00:52:37 I went to the library and they told me
00:52:40 Only I had to keep calling
00:52:43 When my granny found out,
00:52:45 I had to use the phone box
00:52:47 But I ran out of money last night,
00:52:51 - Who?
00:52:54 The name on the ring.
00:52:56 No, I don't. I don't want it.
00:53:00 Mr. Quinlan? Are you all right?
00:53:03 So you found it, you stupid bugger.
00:53:06 Doesn't mean a damn thing to you,
00:53:09 And then what do you do?
00:53:10 After 50 years,
00:53:13 "Oh, guess what I've got."
00:53:15 Well, I thought she'd be pleased.
00:53:18 Only I was halfway through

00:53:24 Well, I just want to use your phone.
00:53:30 Get inside, come on.
00:53:40 I don't believe it. This is incredible.

00:54:50 Hey, you should see me
00:54:52 I'm training to be a nurse.
00:54:55 Chuck says I look great.
00:54:56 - I bet you do.
00:55:00 Have you spoken to Teddy? Is he okay?
00:55:04 The last I saw him, he was good,
00:55:10 Yeah. I was dancing.

00:56:21 He's grabbing a flight
00:56:26 What is it?
00:56:29 I would give anything
00:56:33 What?
00:56:35 Tell me what?

00:57:10 Yes, this is Ethel.
00:57:12 This is Jimmy Reilly.
00:57:15 I found this ring on Black Mountain.
00:57:22 And I thought it might belong
00:57:26 For chrissake.
00:57:28 Sorry.
00:57:30 Are you there?
00:57:33 Yes.
00:57:35 The ring says, "Ethel and Teddy."
00:57:39 Ann.
00:57:40 Ethel Ann is my name.
00:57:43 Oh, right.
00:57:45 Only on the list of dead guys,
00:57:50 Sorry.
00:57:51 On the list of deceased,
00:57:57 So I called the veterans people.
00:58:00 but he left everything in his will
00:58:03 And they had an address.
00:58:05 They said you'd probably moved.
00:58:07 But you haven't.
00:58:12 The ring.
00:58:16 No. No, no, no.
00:58:18 No.
00:58:20 But it's yours.
00:58:22 No, it's his.

00:58:42 [DIAL TONE]
00:58:44 Maybe she was cut off.
00:58:46 - Shall I call her back?
00:58:50 You go home.
00:58:54 Can I leave it here?
00:58:55 - What?
00:58:57 It won't be safe with Granny around.
00:59:03 Mr. Quinlan.
00:59:09 Thanks.
00:59:12 I'll let myself out then.
00:59:19 [DOOR OPENS]
00:59:22 [DOOR CLOSES]
00:59:41 [DOOR OPENS]
00:59:43 Oh, come on, Jack.
00:59:47 TEDDY: You got him.
00:59:49 I'm leaving in the morning.
00:59:51 I'm not allowed.
00:59:53 - The Lord works in mysterious ways.
00:59:57 ETHEL:
01:00:04 I think it was my mother's.
01:00:06 WILBUR:
01:00:08 He's marrying you?
01:00:10 Your folks will never agree to this.
01:00:12 That's why they're not here.
01:00:21 Jack.
01:00:22 Will you give me away, please?
01:00:26 Sure.
01:00:28 - Wilbur, are you going to marry us?
01:00:34 Is this a church?
01:00:35 WILBUR:
01:00:37 And is God here?
01:00:39 What do you mean?
01:00:41 This man is going to war.
01:00:42 I love him. I want God to protect him.
01:00:46 So I'm asking you.
01:00:49 Is he here right now?
01:00:51 Yes.
01:00:53 Then marry us.
01:00:54 In his sight.
01:01:09 - You got rings?
01:01:13 - One ring?
01:01:17 I had our names put inside it.
01:01:21 I'm gonna marry you with it,
01:01:26 I got it for you, Ethel Ann.
01:01:30 This way, you can remember me
01:01:33 Okay. Okay.
01:01:40 Say the words, Wilbur.
01:01:43 Matrimony is a holy state,
01:01:49 Because in the eyes of God,
01:01:53 And I mean forever.
01:01:56 Forever.
01:01:57 WILBUR:
01:01:59 do you take this woman, Ethel Ann,
01:02:04 all the days that you shall live?
01:02:06 I do.
01:02:08 WILBUR:
01:02:10 do you take this man, Teddy,
01:02:17 I do.
01:02:21 I'll be yours till the day I die.
01:02:24 You better do whatever you're gonna do
01:02:29 Jack, will you?
01:02:43 By the power vested in me
01:02:45 No, can't say that.
01:02:49 Just say what you can say.
01:02:54 By the power vested in me,
01:02:58 who sees all things
01:03:03 I now pronounce you man and wife.
01:03:48 [BUZZARD CRYING]
01:04:07 Bloody great.
01:04:13 [SCREAMS]
01:04:21 - You know who we are?
01:04:23 We know who you are.
01:04:25 You're lucky.
01:04:27 by those Republican bastards
01:04:30 Why were you watching me?
01:04:32 Do you know him?
01:04:36 No.
01:04:37 Yes, you do.
01:04:39 JIMMY:
01:04:40 He's lying to us.
01:04:42 Can you tell me who this is?
01:04:46 Me.
01:04:48 - That's me.
01:04:50 And this man?
01:04:53 That's Mr. Quinlan.
01:04:58 - Where did you get those?
01:05:03 Have you seen him?
01:05:07 Take your time.
01:05:09 You've already told us a lot. Hasn't he?
01:05:13 - I haven't told you anything.
01:05:17 You've identified two photographs.
01:05:21 His name is Cathal Thomas.
01:05:23 By the way,
01:05:24 didn't you say that you had seen him
01:05:29 Yes.
01:05:31 No.
01:05:33 - I didn't say anything.
01:05:36 You said yes.
01:05:40 I don't wanna help you.
01:05:42 Ah, but Mr. Thomas will think
01:05:45 That's what he thought
01:05:49 And, yes, you do know him.
01:05:52 That was his body
01:05:58 But I thought
01:06:01 Afraid not.
01:06:04 By Mr. Thomas, actually.
01:06:11 Thanks for finding him.
01:06:12 Now all we need to do
01:06:16 Why don't we keep the lad
01:06:19 Let him watch some dirty videos.
01:06:20 I'll put the word out in the street
01:06:24 Don't... Don't be doing that.
01:06:27 Or of course,
01:06:30 But if I did do that,
01:06:36 Like keeping an eye on Black Mountain.
01:06:40 Letting me know
01:06:46 Yes?
01:06:48 Yes. Yes.
01:06:50 DOUGAL:
01:06:53 Did you say you are
01:06:56 Yes or no?
01:06:58 Yes.
01:07:00 Good.
01:07:10 If we let you go without roughing you up,
01:07:14 So say thank you.
01:07:17 Thank you.
01:07:38 Oh, Jimmy, where have you been?
01:07:42 Mr. Quinlan, what are you doing here?
01:07:44 - Who did...?
01:07:47 Oh, Jesus, it's you.
01:07:49 You know me, then?
01:07:53 What did they do?
01:07:55 - Leave him alone.
01:07:59 I'll get you a cup of tea, son.
01:08:03 You're a bloody liar.
01:08:07 You've been talking
01:08:10 - You were seen.
01:08:13 You found a body.
01:08:15 But you couldn't keep your mouth shut.
01:08:18 You went to the police.
01:08:19 No, they were on the mountain.
01:08:23 Oh, were they, now?
01:08:25 So let me guess.
01:08:27 They showed you my photograph.
01:08:29 - Aye.
01:08:32 And what did you say? Yes or no?
01:08:36 Yes. No.
01:08:39 - I don't know, I got confused.
01:08:43 Little creep.
01:08:45 Do you want a bullet in the knees,
01:08:49 Jesus, Cathal. He's just a kid.
01:08:51 He knows nothing. Good for nothing.
01:08:54 This is all your fault.
01:08:56 Digging up the past.
01:08:59 We wouldn't wanna be
01:09:01 - Don't you dare.
01:09:12 I got something planned
01:09:15 So if I see you again,
01:09:21 He's my grandson, Cathal.
01:09:23 I'll shoot him, Eleanor.
01:09:32 You better see me out the back.
01:09:45 Heard you were in trouble.
01:09:49 Found Cathal instead.
01:09:51 - You all know each other?
01:09:53 You need to get out of Belfast
01:09:56 - But I've nowhere to go.
01:10:01 - What's all that for?
01:10:07 I need to know if she's all right.
01:10:10 Who?
01:10:15 I want you to go to America.
01:10:18 I think you should take it back to her.
01:10:21 All right?
01:10:33 Listen, you Republican shite.
01:10:36 The IRA can be most unpleasant.
01:10:40 But if you mess with us,
01:10:46 - Who are you?
01:10:49 He says you'll help us
01:10:52 We know he's around here
01:10:55 All you have to do is lead us to him.
01:10:58 Yes.
01:11:00 We're watching, Jimmy. Every second.
01:11:04 [PHONE RINGING]
01:11:05 Oh, I'll get it.
01:11:14 - Yes?
01:11:16 I'm really sorry. I had to call you.
01:11:19 Please, I need some help.
01:11:22 Ji... Jimmy?
01:11:24 I found a body, on the mountain.
01:11:28 What are you saying?
01:11:30 They never found a body.
01:11:35 I'm an old woman,
01:11:37 No, no, no, it's the IRA.
01:11:39 They buried a man on the mountain.
01:11:43 I have to get out of Belfast.
01:11:47 - What do you want me to do?
01:11:50 What, come here?
01:11:53 Please, just for a wee while. Please.
01:11:56 But I don't even know you.
01:11:58 Mr. Quinlan wants me
01:12:01 I could give it to you, please.
01:12:03 Just for a couple of weeks,
01:12:11 Well,
01:12:13 all right, you can come.
01:12:18 - Hey, Jack.
01:12:20 - Good trip?
01:12:24 - This one's Teddy's.
01:12:26 Looks like you got yourself
01:12:29 Yeah.
01:12:32 She been crying?
01:12:33 No. I have.
01:12:35 - What happened to you?
01:12:39 Plexiglas in my eye. I might lose it.
01:12:43 I can't fly, can't even shoot.
01:12:46 Ethel Ann's looking after me now.
01:12:48 That's good, seeing how he wanted you
01:12:53 He should have asked you, Jack.
01:12:56 She doesn't love me,
01:12:59 - I wish he'd asked you, Jack.
01:13:02 And we promised.
01:13:06 You're the man, Chuck.
01:13:08 Let's do this.
01:13:12 [DOORBELL RINGS]
01:13:15 Hi, Jack. You better come inside.
01:13:17 JACK:
01:13:19 She doesn't tell me a thing,
01:13:22 Who? Where from?
01:13:23 - Ireland. Belfast.
01:13:27 I don't wanna leave her alone,
01:13:30 Yeah, all right, all right.
01:13:37 Well, you look like hell.
01:13:39 You wanted me to grieve.
01:13:41 - Would you go to the airport?
01:13:43 No, I want you to go yourself.
01:13:45 - I don't even know this guy.
01:13:47 - Marie says he's from Belfast.
01:13:51 Look, Ethel.
01:13:53 - Take your hands off me.
01:13:56 And who the hell do you know in Belfast?
01:13:59 Well, his name is Jimmy Reilly.
01:14:01 He's arriving at 12:10 tonight
01:14:04 Would you take your hands off me
01:14:06 - You listen to me.
01:14:10 If you don't talk to Marie now,
01:14:14 She's gonna go.
01:14:16 You just tell her what happened,
01:14:19 Listen to me. All the love she ever got
01:14:24 All the kisses and hugs
01:14:29 Never from me.
01:14:31 You think now
01:14:34 I think you should give her the chance.
01:14:36 Well, that's what I intend to do.
01:14:39 Now, please go.
01:14:54 Oh, no, don't. Don't do that, please.
01:14:57 Just come on in.
01:14:59 I'm sorry.
01:15:01 I'm real glad you're safe.
01:15:03 Look at that foot.
01:15:05 Must be hard for you,
01:15:08 Yeah.
01:15:10 Here.
01:15:12 - Let me take these.
01:15:18 Did they find a body?
01:15:21 No.
01:15:23 So there's no proof?
01:15:25 Ethel Ann, he's gone.
01:15:28 We could arrange a memorial service.
01:15:30 Why?
01:15:33 We're the only ones
01:15:36 He has no family now.
01:15:39 No children.
01:15:48 Was that his case
01:15:51 I brought his things back for you. Yeah.
01:15:54 Let's bring it in. Open it up.
01:15:58 - There's plenty of time for that.
01:16:01 No, let's do it now. Please.
01:16:03 [DOORBELL RINGS]
01:16:06 JIMMY: Hi.
01:16:09 - How do you do?
01:16:12 - Come in, please.
01:16:14 Through there.
01:16:17 Why did you do this?
01:16:19 ETHEL:
01:16:22 - Hello, how do you do?
01:16:24 Let me take that.
01:16:26 And this is my daughter, Marie.
01:16:29 Hello. How do you doody?
01:16:31 Did we speak on the phone?
01:16:33 Sit down, Jimmy,
01:16:36 Oh, it was fantastic.
01:16:39 Seven-four-seven all the way.
01:16:41 We had to fly to London first,
01:16:44 And they gave us meals and all,
01:16:47 They had little things of salt and pepper,
01:16:51 And they had little bottles of Irish. Free.
01:16:54 And there was a film.
01:16:55 And then we had to fly
01:16:59 then from New York to Detroit,
01:17:02 And it was really fantastic.
01:17:04 Jack, do you remember
01:17:07 three, maybe four days
01:17:10 We'd have to go from Belfast
01:17:17 Uh-huh.
01:17:19 Dad, you all right?
01:17:21 Yeah, why don't you take these cases
01:17:24 Oh, thank you, but this one's for you.
01:17:29 - Don't mind if I put this on your table?
01:17:32 Oh, just let me get the flowers there.
01:17:36 JIMMY: They made me open it up.
01:17:38 Uh-huh. They couldn't believe
01:17:43 Look at this.
01:17:49 And these are switches
01:17:52 And this is a piece of Plexiglas,
01:17:56 curved, from a gun turret.
01:18:00 And this...
01:18:04 A pressure gauge.
01:18:07 Oxygen. They had to breathe oxygen,
01:18:11 JACK:
01:18:12 All right, Mama, that is enough.
01:18:17 Look, is this all right?
01:18:20 I mean, this stuff's just fantastic for me,
01:18:26 Would you like to see the ring?
01:18:28 MARIE:
01:18:30 The ring. It's my secret.
01:18:33 Mr. Quinlan said I can't keep secrets,
01:18:36 Except I told Mr. Jack in the car.
01:18:38 What are you talking about?
01:18:41 I found it on Black Mountain.
01:18:44 Where the plane crashed. In the war.
01:18:46 The B-17.
01:18:49 The B-17?
01:18:51 A B-17G.
01:18:53 It had the new chin turret,
01:18:58 - That's where I found the ring.
01:19:02 Mr. Gordon's.
01:19:04 Well, your dad's.
01:19:07 Before he was, you know, killed.
01:19:10 - In Belfast?
01:19:13 - You're just gonna let this happen, huh?
01:19:17 He died here a couple of months ago.
01:19:21 And his name wasn't Gordon.
01:19:25 Wasn't it, Mom?
01:19:28 JIMMY:
01:19:30 You're too young.
01:19:34 Shall I put these away?
01:19:37 I have a place.
01:19:41 Peter, there's some tools out back.
01:19:45 Would you bring them to me, please?
01:19:47 What? Now?
01:19:49 Yes, I need to take down this wall.
01:19:51 - Stop, Mama. Don't.
01:19:55 This was Daddy's house.
01:19:58 This was never your daddy's house.
01:20:02 Then whose house is this?
01:20:03 Now, which of you gentlemen
01:20:06 That's what you really want?
01:20:12 CHUCK:
01:20:16 JACK: I guess you don't have
01:20:19 Oh, I have a place.
01:20:22 Did he have any photographs,
01:20:26 Pocket, right side.
01:20:36 ETHEL:
01:20:38 Ethel Ann, maybe we ought to take
01:20:42 No.
01:20:44 Nobody should touch this wall.
01:20:46 We could make an album.
01:20:47 We could take the photos
01:20:50 This is his wall, this is his house.
01:20:53 CHUCK:
01:20:56 He left it to you.
01:20:57 JACK:
01:21:01 You living here every day,
01:21:08 He was gonna build a shed out back.
01:21:10 We'll just use the wood.
01:21:13 Do you want us to build you a shed?
01:21:16 No.
01:21:19 No, I want you to board it up.
01:21:22 Don't touch it, just cover it up.
01:21:27 Is that really what you want?
01:21:55 [WOOD CREAKING]
01:22:30 This Teddy, who was he?
01:22:40 Jimmy?
01:22:44 Sergeant Teddy Gordon.
01:22:47 Rear gunner on B-17337833.
01:22:54 He crashed June 1 st, 1944.
01:22:59 He was killed.
01:23:03 MARIE:
01:23:07 Mrs. Gordon.
01:23:12 All those years,
01:23:17 I'm getting out of here right now.
01:23:19 - Your mother needs you.
01:23:21 - Don't you talk to me...
01:23:27 He loved you.
01:23:31 In spite of all of this, he loved you.
01:23:37 But you never did, did you?
01:23:41 And all of his life,
01:23:43 he knew you locked your love
01:23:50 There was no proof.
01:23:53 And it was all I had left of him.
01:23:57 MARIE:
01:24:02 You bitch, you shut Daddy out.
01:24:06 And then you shut me out.
01:24:10 All of my life,
01:24:19 Peter, can I please come stay with you?
01:24:22 Go and get in the car.
01:24:31 You were kids then.
01:24:33 The both of you.
01:24:35 But you haven't been kids for 50 years.
01:24:37 That wall should have come down
01:24:50 Mrs. Harris?
01:24:56 Mrs. Harris, I brought you the ring.
01:25:29 PILOT: Gentlemen, the city of Belfast,
01:25:33 TEDDY: Skip, do you think you could fly
01:25:36 - Can't see a damn thing.
01:25:38 Just look out your ass
01:25:43 Oh, boy, if the babes of Belfast
01:25:47 Yee-ha!
01:25:55 - Maginty, Mr. Maginty, is it a raid?
01:25:59 They've a new base near here.
01:26:02 You know what that means?
01:26:05 - I'll see you tonight.
01:26:07 There will not be a single virgin in Belfast
01:26:11 [PLAYING JAZZ MUSIC]
01:26:31 - Hey, Teddy.
01:26:34 Hi, Eleanor.
01:26:36 Why don't you join in the party?
01:26:41 I'm fixed, thank you.
01:26:43 Shame. Gorgeous man like you.
01:26:46 Hey.
01:26:47 Climb down there.
01:26:49 Don't you know
01:26:51 Just like we are.
01:26:54 I need the powder room.
01:26:59 Come on.
01:27:01 - I need some air.
01:27:07 She is great.
01:27:10 - In every department.
01:27:13 Yeah, I'm gonna marry her.
01:27:16 I'm gonna ask her tonight.
01:27:18 - She's very... Hi... . popular.
01:27:22 - Come on, Jack, you're drunk.
01:27:26 - Why shouldn't I get mine?
01:27:29 Not with Eleanor.
01:27:31 Oh, yeah?
01:27:34 How about Ethel Ann?
01:27:38 Don't you walk away from me.
01:27:41 You got your love.
01:27:42 You got her,
01:27:44 Not me, no, no, I wasn't...
01:27:47 I did not give her to anybody.
01:27:51 "If I die, pass her on down the line
01:27:54 Who cares?
01:27:58 Are you in love with Ethel Ann?
01:28:02 No.
01:28:04 No, I don't love her.
01:28:07 I wouldn't touch her.
01:28:09 I'm gonna marry Eleanor.
01:28:12 Why the hell shouldn't I?
01:28:14 Because she's a tart, Jack.
01:28:22 Oh! Jesus, my ankle!
01:28:27 I was lying, of course.
01:28:30 I loved Ethel so much
01:28:36 So did Chuck.
01:28:39 Three guys wanted her,
01:28:42 and then there was me.
01:28:44 And when my ankle healed,
01:28:48 Stayed till the end. I didn't need to.
01:28:51 Jesus, I should have died
01:28:53 Somehow I always came back.
01:28:56 And I could see how broken she was.
01:28:58 Oh, real bad.
01:29:00 She depended on Chuck now.
01:29:03 And he needed her.
01:29:05 He'd have lost that eye, but for her.
01:29:08 She wouldn't move out of the house
01:29:11 I left them to it. I got married.
01:29:13 Three times.
01:29:16 The only good thing
01:29:19 And your mom
01:29:25 Another five before you came along.
01:29:28 Your dad was so happy to see you.
01:29:32 He nearly died of joy.
01:29:35 Now you know it all.
01:29:38 Do I?
01:29:43 Why did they wait so long to have me?
01:29:46 Oh, I guess she couldn't bring herself
01:29:51 I mean, there was no body.
01:29:55 Is he still trying to get you to go back?
01:29:59 She's not going back, Dad.
01:30:05 - How's the Irish kid, Jimmy?
01:30:09 He's having a ball.
01:30:11 Your mom is taking him everywhere.
01:30:13 Oh, God, he's a funny little guy.
01:30:17 She doesn't talk much,
01:30:21 She never did have a son.
01:30:23 JACK:
01:30:25 And I guess I was an accident, right?
01:30:28 [PHONE RINGING]
01:30:33 Excuse me.
01:30:39 "I love you, Chuck."
01:30:42 I never heard her say those words.
01:30:46 Oh, they had good times together.
01:30:49 PETER: Peter here.
01:30:52 They both knew
01:30:54 and they didn't say a damn thing
01:30:59 Neither did you.
01:31:00 JACK:
01:31:02 Everybody needs to talk.
01:31:04 No, honey.
01:31:06 Everybody needs to cry.
01:31:09 And your mother never did. Not once.
01:31:13 You have to forgive her for that.
01:31:18 Do you ever wish you had just pushed in
01:31:28 Oh, no, don't...
01:31:30 Oh, no. Oh, no,
01:31:36 Ask me anything you want,
01:31:42 I was dead.
01:31:45 We all got killed or maimed, all of us,
01:31:52 And when he got killed,
01:31:55 and I deserved it, I deserved it.
01:31:58 That is not true.
01:31:59 They got a new navigator, just a kid,
01:32:03 and he screwed up.
01:32:10 Sorry.
01:32:14 It was my fault.
01:32:20 I should have been on that plane.
01:32:28 Hey, Teddy, how about that dance
01:32:32 I got me a girl. Same one every night.
01:32:36 Yeah, but she's a long ways away.
01:32:39 Oh, no, sir. She's right here with me.
01:32:43 Ooh, tight squeeze down there.
01:32:51 Langford, Langford,
01:32:55 Hell, how low does this cloud go?
01:32:58 All the way down by the look of it.
01:32:59 You guys see anything?
01:33:01 No, negative, skip.
01:33:03 It's pretty dark out there.
01:33:05 PILOT: Brad, you got a fix?
01:33:07 I mean, we should be seeing Belfast
01:33:10 Navigator, you got a fix or not?
01:33:13 I don't know.
01:33:15 It's not making sense right now.
01:33:25 [AIRPLANE PASSES OVERHEAD]
01:33:31 - Jesus.
01:33:35 Bloody hell. Skip!
01:33:38 PILOT:
01:33:42 Jesus Christ.
01:33:45 [CRASHING]
01:33:58 CHIEF:
01:34:01 Michael! Michael Quinlan!
01:34:06 You'll get yourself killed.
01:34:07 [GUNFIRE]
01:34:15 - More tea, love?
01:34:17 Oh, no, thanks, no. Plenty of tea.
01:34:20 He's late.
01:34:22 [CAR APPROACHING]
01:34:24 Very, very late.
01:34:25 He's not late.
01:34:26 Will you just sit down or something?
01:34:31 [CAR DOORS CLOSING]
01:34:35 He's here, Michael.
01:34:37 Oh, thank God, he's here.
01:34:39 He's here.
01:34:41 - Jesus Murphy. Oh!
01:34:45 [BOTH LAUGHING]
01:34:50 Don't be dribbling
01:34:52 ELEANOR:
01:34:54 - Jimmy.
01:34:57 How about you?
01:34:58 - Don't shut the door.
01:35:01 - We have a guest.
01:35:09 [CAR ENGINE STARTS]
01:35:13 Hello.
01:35:19 Is this your first visit to Belfast?
01:35:21 God, I can remember when there were
01:35:25 Yeah, lovely people.
01:35:28 I nearly married one of them.
01:35:31 He kept saying to me,
01:35:35 - Branagan?
01:35:38 Then he broke his... Broke his foot.
01:35:41 And he went back to Branagan.
01:35:43 And I never saw
01:35:45 And he was in a fight.
01:35:47 Truly, a fight over me. You wouldn't
01:35:50 He were gorgeous.
01:35:53 Oh, I'd have had him, all right.
01:35:55 Jack. Jack Etty.
01:36:01 How did you know that?
01:36:04 You mean, your Jack?
01:36:07 - And my granny? That's disgusting.
01:36:13 So you would have known Teddy?
01:36:17 Teddy Gordon.
01:36:19 Teddy? Hold on.
01:36:23 You see, I had so many of them.
01:36:27 Well, no, I mean,
01:36:31 [CLEARS THROAT]
01:36:33 Very friendly people.
01:36:35 Oh, dear.
01:36:40 - What are you doing here, Mrs. Harris?
01:36:44 What a question.
01:36:46 JIMMY:
01:36:48 She just bought a ticket and came.
01:36:52 Fantastic.
01:36:55 MAN 1: Oh, right, Okay.
01:37:00 MAN 2:
01:37:04 PETER:
01:37:07 WOMAN:
01:37:09 - Dad.
01:37:10 Wake up, she's gone.
01:37:13 [MOANS]
01:37:14 She's gone, huh? She's gone.
01:37:18 To Belfast.
01:37:20 To look for bits of him.
01:37:23 You're drunk.
01:37:24 Huh?
01:37:27 Yeah.
01:37:28 Oh, I have been for some time.
01:37:31 Jack, Dad never told her, did he?
01:37:33 That Teddy made him promise
01:37:36 Hell, no.
01:37:39 Why not?
01:37:41 It's like she had Teddy's permission.
01:37:43 PETER:
01:37:45 Because it was
01:37:50 You're a coward, Dad.
01:37:52 And you're a liar.
01:37:54 You lied to Teddy, you lied to Chuck.
01:37:56 And worst of all, you lied to yourself.
01:37:58 You've always loved Ethel,
01:38:01 [JACK GROANS]
01:38:03 Don't be stupid.
01:38:05 Oh, for God's sake, Jack,
01:38:08 She's your mother.
01:38:11 Now, go get her yourself.
01:38:13 No.
01:38:14 You know what?
01:38:20 Mr. Quinlan, how was it that night?
01:38:24 Well, they say it hit the ground
01:38:27 I think this is where I found it.
01:38:30 - The ring?
01:38:33 - And you're still finding the pieces?
01:38:36 JIMMY:
01:38:38 He's here all the time, you know.
01:38:41 Keeps us company.
01:38:45 How about that? We have them too.
01:38:53 Would you say, Mrs. Harris...?
01:38:55 I'd like to know.
01:38:56 Would you say, on balance,
01:39:04 Well, I have to wait till it's over,
01:39:09 You're a strange man, Mr. Quinlan.
01:39:15 Do you believe in keeping promises,
01:39:19 Aye.
01:39:21 What about the promises
01:39:25 - Do they count?
01:39:28 I think promises are stupid.
01:39:30 Why?
01:39:32 Well, I promise my granny
01:39:38 and I mean to, but I never do.
01:39:43 You're never free of the promises
01:39:48 Even if you break them,
01:40:17 [ETHEL MOANS]
01:41:00 It's the Germans.
01:41:02 It's not the Germans, Granny.
01:41:04 - We have to get out.
01:41:06 Contact, Pound Street, one man down.
01:41:09 [CAR ALARMS BLARING]
01:41:11 Are you all right? Oh, Jesus, I'm so sorry.
01:41:15 Belfast is a great place, really.
01:41:17 - We have to get out.
01:41:18 - There will be another.
01:41:20 Always a second bomb.
01:41:23 Shit, no pulse. He's a goner.
01:41:27 - Sir, there's another fucking bomb.
01:41:30 Clear the streets!
01:41:33 - Leave him. Pick him up later.
01:41:36 JIMMY:
01:41:39 Come on, Mrs. Harris. Come here.
01:41:42 Granny, get out.
01:41:45 ETHEL: Yes, yes.
01:41:47 - Move. Clear the streets.
01:41:50 PRIVATE: Move, move.
01:41:54 You stupid bitch.
01:41:55 Get out the back!
01:41:59 [SIRENS WAILING]
01:42:07 I've gotta get back.
01:42:09 Right, Chris, get that cover hose on.
01:42:11 - Get them behind the wall.
01:42:13 Fergus.
01:42:14 - Fergus.
01:42:16 - I haven't seen you for a while.
01:42:19 - Anyone hurt?
01:42:22 - They want us to go, get him, don't they?
01:42:24 - And blow more of us to pieces.
01:42:28 Take her in, would you? You're okay.
01:42:36 SOLDIER:
01:42:39 I said leave this area. Stay clear.
01:42:41 - I need to get to her.
01:42:44 - She's my friend.
01:42:45 [HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
01:42:49 I told you before, you can't go.
01:42:52 Clear the area immediately.
01:42:54 There's another bomb there.
01:42:56 WOMAN: Come on, girls.
01:42:58 Stop. You can't go down there.
01:43:03 Oh, my God.
01:43:07 SOLDIER:
01:43:22 Oh, God.
01:43:33 - Get back.
01:43:35 Leave me be.
01:43:40 SOLDIER:
01:43:46 This is Pound Street, sir,
01:43:49 This is okay.
01:43:51 - Thanks.
01:43:53 - Thank you.
01:43:56 [BUZZARD CRIES]
01:44:00 Oh, God. Oh, no. Oh, God.
01:44:05 Mr. Thomas, please, don't do it!
01:44:11 Mr. Thomas!
01:44:13 Come on, quick as you can.
01:44:15 - Come on.
01:44:16 - Come on, quick. Come on.
01:44:19 It's Eleanor.
01:44:22 Eleanor Reilly.
01:44:24 - Jesus Christ, Eleanor.
01:44:28 Yeah, Teddy's girl.
01:44:30 Well, she's over there, but it's...
01:44:33 There's been one bomb, and there'll be...
01:44:41 Mr. Thomas, please.
01:44:44 You bloody little idiot.
01:44:49 Get away from here.
01:44:53 You trying to get yourself killed?
01:44:54 [GUNSHOT]
01:44:58 CAMPBELL:
01:45:01 MAGUIGAN:
01:45:03 Thank you, Jimmy.
01:45:08 - I'm sorry, sir, no further.
01:45:18 Mrs. Harris.
01:45:20 Come slowly away, please.
01:45:22 There's another bomb here.
01:45:24 I know. You move away.
01:45:26 This is none of your concern,
01:45:29 Yes, it is.
01:45:32 Yes, it bloody is.
01:45:34 You might survive, you know that?
01:45:37 Just with bits of you blown off.
01:45:39 Arms, legs, eyes.
01:45:42 I've seen it.
01:45:45 - Teddy wouldn't like that...
01:45:47 Nice try, Mr. Quinlan.
01:45:50 You're a brave man.
01:45:52 No. No, I am not.
01:45:57 Do you think he looked like this
01:46:02 No. He was alive.
01:46:11 I was there.
01:46:12 TEDDY:
01:46:14 [EXPLOSIONS]
01:46:15 Please, help.
01:46:17 QUINLAN: What?
01:46:27 Please, kid, take...
01:46:30 Take the ring.
01:46:33 Promise me to tell her she's free.
01:46:39 Teddy says make her own choice.
01:46:44 Ethel Ann.
01:46:46 Give her the ring.
01:46:49 Promise me.
01:46:52 I promise.
01:47:04 I didn't take it. I should have found you.
01:47:07 Told you what he said.
01:47:10 I looked for it all my life.
01:47:15 The ring.
01:47:20 You were free.
01:47:24 He wanted me to tell you that.
01:47:29 I'm so sorry.
01:48:02 Goodbye.
01:48:09 Ethel.
01:48:12 Please.
01:48:13 We have to go, Mrs. Harris.
01:48:16 Have to go now.
01:48:18 Come on.
01:48:28 No, no, no.
01:48:56 Have you ever been in love,
01:48:58 No. Life's hard enough.
01:49:02 So is it possible
01:49:06 - I know I have.
01:49:18 [JACK LAUGHING]
01:49:21 - We've left it a bit late.
01:49:24 According to Marie, it was my fault.
01:49:26 I don't know
01:49:28 Because you're an easy target.
01:49:32 How come none of that
01:49:34 It happened to me. Look.
01:49:36 But if you promise to love one person
01:49:41 - You can't make promises like that.
01:49:45 You can't keep it.
01:49:48 Well worth making it, though.
01:49:51 [BUZZARD CRYING]
01:50:01 I'd love to fly.
01:50:03 I'll take you up some time.
01:50:06 Teddy was gonna take me flying.
01:50:08 Oh, Teddy, Teddy, Teddy.
01:50:13 He was the greatest guy in the world
01:50:17 But once dead, my God,
01:50:20 [JACK LAUGHS]
01:50:22 [ETHEL LAUGHING]
01:50:32 [ETHEL SOBBING]
01:50:47 ETHEL:
01:50:52 You're grieving, girl.
