00:32:17 |
Oh, aye. |
00:32:23 |
Here we are. |
00:32:25 |
Isn't it gorgeous? |
00:32:28 |
Can I smoke? Um...yeah. |
00:32:31 |
Over there on the balcony. |
00:32:33 |
Now, what can I get you? Tea or |
00:32:37 |
Yeah? Milk, sugar? |
00:32:38 |
Aye, milk, two sugars. Thank you.No problem. |
00:32:51 |
Joe... |
00:32:55 |
How are you?Yeah, good. Aye, I'm good. |
00:32:59 |
Thank you so much for coming.That's OK, aye. |
00:33:02 |
How are you feeling?Aye, I'm OK. I'm OK, aye. |
00:33:05 |
Everybody looking after you? Aye. |
00:33:06 |
Good. I know it's going to be |
00:33:11 |
But we will do everything we |
00:33:14 |
it goes the way you want it to. |
00:33:16 |
So, if there's anything you need, |
00:33:19 |
anything you're worried about, |
00:33:22 |
basically, we're here for you. |
00:33:23 |
OK. So it's very important |
00:33:25 |
that you let us know if things |
00:33:28 |
Now, has Fiona taken you through |
00:33:31 |
OK, good. |
00:33:33 |
Just to briefly |
00:33:37 |
Now, you've got time to settle down |
00:33:41 |
Will you have someone |
00:33:44 |
Then, at some point, a make-up girl |
00:33:48 |
you know, on your face. |
00:33:50 |
Sometimes the camera |
00:33:53 |
So, she only needs a few minutes. |
00:33:55 |
Then, when you're ready, |
00:33:59 |
filming, up here. |
00:34:01 |
And then, at around 12, |
00:34:04 |
we can go downstairs and... |
00:34:07 |
Aye. OK, good. |
00:34:10 |
So, in terms of |
00:34:15 |
it's important to remember, |
00:34:18 |
where we are trying to get to |
00:34:22 |
'Yes, I know, I know what you want. |
00:34:24 |
'Shake his fucking hand |
00:34:26 |
The last thing I want to do |
00:34:31 |
But it's important for us to |
00:34:35 |
Do you understand what I'm saying? |
00:34:37 |
Aye. Aye, I understand.I know it's difficult. |
00:34:40 |
Which is why |
00:34:43 |
but I do want you |
00:34:46 |
What I'm saying really is, |
00:34:49 |
KNOCK ON DOOR |
00:34:51 |
Michael? Yeah. |
00:34:53 |
Sorry. Yeah, I'm coming. |
00:34:56 |
And you know, we are all |
00:35:01 |
I can't tell you how important |
00:35:03 |
I think this is going to be |
00:35:05 |
well, |
00:35:08 |
This is the question |
00:35:11 |
Truth and reconciliation. |
00:35:14 |
What's at stake? |
00:35:16 |
Is it possible? |
00:35:19 |
That's it. Speech over. |
00:35:26 |
'I can do handshakes, Michael! |
00:35:30 |
'I can do handshake and victim |
00:35:33 |
'But I've made a decision |
00:35:36 |
'Reconciliation? |
00:35:39 |
'You have no idea.' |
00:35:41 |
A handshake? |
00:35:42 |
For killing my brother? |
00:35:46 |
33 years of that? |
00:35:48 |
What do you think I am, a joke? |
00:35:51 |
'If ever a man deserved |
00:36:02 |
'Truth and reconciliation?' |
00:36:06 |
'I'm going for revenge.' |
00:36:16 |
Oh, hi. I'm Vika. |
00:36:21 |
Your tea. Oh, aye. Thanks. |
00:36:23 |
I'm the runner. The runner? |
00:36:26 |
Do you mind |
00:36:30 |
Oh, no, no, no... |
00:36:31 |
No, no, of course you can! |
00:36:36 |
Here, have one of mine.It's OK, I... |
00:36:38 |
No, Jesus, come on! Thank you. |
00:36:45 |
Here. |
00:36:51 |
Thank you. |
00:36:53 |
You stay out here with me andThanks, but I... |
00:36:57 |
I'm the star of the show. |
00:36:59 |
I've come to look after you |
00:37:02 |
Everyone's looking after me! They're |
00:37:09 |
You're a what? A runner?Yeah, it means I run around |
00:37:14 |
A dogsbody, then! A dogsbody? |
00:37:16 |
No, no! Runner's better - |
00:37:35 |
Young Fiona here visited me |
00:37:38 |
said she was a researcher |
00:37:41 |
She was all posh and lovely, her |
00:37:45 |
and the weather's |
00:37:47 |
and every time she turns, |
00:37:49 |
Would she smile at me |
00:37:53 |
She'd call the police. |
00:37:54 |
Ah! Fuck, I would! So, anyway, |
00:37:59 |
And now look |
00:38:06 |
Maybe it's a good thing |
00:38:14 |
Where are you from? |
00:38:15 |
Vladivostok. |
00:38:17 |
Vladivostok AND Belfast? |
00:38:21 |
I like it here. |
00:38:23 |
I like you here too. I like you! |
00:38:25 |
So, she was sitting in my kitchen, |
00:38:27 |
this is an important programme |
00:38:29 |
about men who have become the man |
00:38:31 |
that you have become, |
00:38:34 |
Then she said it's more about |
00:38:36 |
"That's what excites us all |
00:38:39 |
She had the light in her eyes, |
00:38:41 |
"It's about healing", she said. |
00:38:44 |
"What is that?" I said. |
00:38:47 |
"No", she said, smiling. |
00:38:49 |
We want you to meet the man who |
00:38:56 |
I don't know. The thing is, it isn't |
00:39:01 |
and I wasn't really listening |
00:39:04 |
It's just that... |
00:39:07 |
she showed me a little kindness. |
00:39:11 |
Well, I'm sure... |
00:39:14 |
I fucking hate kindness. |
00:39:16 |
I let it in then, but never again. |
00:39:25 |
The trouble with me is, |
00:39:30 |
But him? Oh, his feelings? |
00:39:32 |
They are just right, just perfect! |
00:39:34 |
He did it in cold blood, but now |
00:39:37 |
"What is it like to kill a man," |
00:39:41 |
And off he goes again, telling |
00:39:44 |
But hats off to him, |
00:39:46 |
He knows they all love |
00:39:51 |
Is there someone with him? Oh, yes.Yes. That's important, you know? |
00:39:55 |
Whatever he tells you |
00:39:57 |
he's going to be very angry. |
00:40:00 |
That anger could go in any direction. |
00:40:03 |
You have to be prepared |
00:40:05 |
We're not performing monkeys. No. |
00:40:07 |
I realise |
00:40:09 |
but what's happening to him |
00:40:11 |
Yes, absolutely. You have to make |
00:40:15 |
"Listen to him", they will say, |
00:40:20 |
"Do this gig well here |
00:40:24 |
"I can talk about that day then and |
00:40:27 |
"how I came face to face |
00:40:29 |
"and how it was |
00:40:33 |
"and how listening to me is |
00:40:36 |
"And with their cheques |
00:40:39 |
"and I will heal them with my words, |
00:40:41 |
"I won't have to work in a fucking |
00:40:44 |
So! |
00:40:47 |
The man shot my brother |
00:40:49 |
The man is having the life of Riley. |
00:40:52 |
Do I shake his hand |
00:41:00 |
Well, killing him |
00:41:02 |
For sure of that! But it wouldn't |
00:41:07 |
Oh, not good for me? |
00:41:12 |
My five minutes of heaven? |
00:41:15 |
How would that be not good for me? |
00:41:17 |
KNOCK ON DOOR |
00:41:20 |
Joe, hi! Everything OK? |
00:41:22 |
They're just doing |
00:41:26 |
Can Cathy come in and do a wee bit |
00:41:29 |
Aye. OK, aye. Hi, Joe. |
00:41:31 |
I'm Cathy. How are you, all right? |
00:41:33 |
Good, aye. I'm good. Lovely! |
00:41:35 |
I just want to sit you down here. |
00:41:38 |
There we go. |
00:41:41 |
That's lovely. |
00:41:44 |
Now, this is just |
00:41:47 |
Fuck, am I shining? |
00:41:48 |
OK, Alistair, the camera's running, |
00:41:57 |
In order for me... |
00:42:00 |
In order for me to talk about |
00:42:05 |
I was 14 when I joined |
00:42:07 |
and I was 15 when I joined the UVF, |
00:42:13 |
The situation at that time, |
00:42:16 |
BANGING IN BACKGROUND |
00:42:17 |
Cut there. Sorry, that's very good |
00:42:20 |
That's really good. |
00:42:23 |
OK? OK, we're good to go again. |
00:42:27 |
Running up.And in your own time, Alistair. |
00:42:37 |
For me to talk about the man |
00:42:43 |
I was 14 |
00:42:45 |
and I was 15 when I joined the UVF. |
00:42:49 |
At that time, don't forget, there |
00:42:53 |
petrol bombs every day. |
00:42:54 |
And that was just in our town. |
00:42:56 |
When you got home |
00:42:58 |
you could see it was happening |
00:43:01 |
and it was like we were under siege. |
00:43:03 |
Fathers and brothers of friends |
00:43:07 |
and the feeling was, |
00:43:10 |
We're all in this together |
00:43:14 |
The thing you have to remember, |
00:43:17 |
what you have to understand, |
00:43:20 |
Once you have signed up to terror |
00:43:25 |
the group, |
00:43:28 |
It becomes only our story |
00:43:30 |
Not their story, |
00:43:33 |
It's only my people that are being |
00:43:36 |
and who need looking after. |
00:43:38 |
Catholics being killed |
00:43:40 |
And so when I went up to Sammy, |
00:43:45 |
and told him |
00:43:48 |
it wasn't a wrong thing |
00:43:50 |
In my head, it was the proper, the |
00:43:56 |
And so it was easy. |
00:43:59 |
When I got to the house, |
00:44:02 |
I didn't expect him to be there, |
00:44:06 |
I only looked at him for a moment |
00:44:09 |
But if I had known |
00:44:12 |
I would have shot him as well. |
00:44:15 |
It was in the mindset. |
00:44:17 |
It was tit for tat |
00:44:23 |
That's what it was like. |
00:44:25 |
I was only 17. |
00:44:28 |
I had seen my people fighting |
00:44:31 |
You take sides |
00:44:34 |
but we weren't just throwing stones |
00:44:36 |
we were shooting guns. |
00:44:38 |
HE CLEARS HIS THROAT |
00:44:40 |
What I want to tell people, |
00:44:43 |
is to stop people getting to the |
00:44:47 |
Because when you get to that point, |
00:44:49 |
No-one's going to stop you. |
00:44:53 |
And once you're in, |
00:44:56 |
You will kill anyone on the other |
00:45:01 |
Once your man has joined the group, |
00:45:04 |
And what he needs to hear |
00:45:06 |
are voices on his own side |
00:45:12 |
There were no voices on my side. |
00:45:16 |
Not on my estate. |
00:45:18 |
No-one was telling me anything |
00:45:22 |
It was only in prison |
00:45:26 |
And the Muslims now, you know, |
00:45:30 |
They need to hear those voices now, |
00:45:32 |
stopping them from thinking |
00:45:34 |
They need their own people |
00:45:36 |
That's where they need to hear it. |
00:45:38 |
That's where I would put my money, |
00:45:40 |
on making those voices heard |
00:45:43 |
HE CLEARS HIS THROAT |
00:45:47 |
When I got home, my mother |
00:45:50 |
and it came on the news |
00:45:54 |
I was so excited |
00:45:56 |
for when I would get |
00:45:59 |
Sammy was going to come |
00:46:01 |
He was going to lead me out |
00:46:04 |
and proudly walk me into the bar |
00:46:07 |
and everybody was going to stand up |
00:46:11 |
I would have shot anyone for that. |
00:46:14 |
And that is why I talk to anybody |
00:46:17 |
to tell them to stop boys |
00:46:20 |
that to shoot an innocent |
00:46:32 |
Alistair, when he comes into |
00:46:38 |
Well, what I have to do |
00:46:42 |
That is the most difficult |
00:46:46 |
is to be honest with him. |
00:46:50 |
Cut. |
00:46:52 |
Good. |
00:46:55 |
Fantastic. |
00:47:04 |
Thank you. That was perfect. Yeah. |
00:47:06 |
Once he's in the room with you, |
00:47:10 |
I mean, is it likely |
00:47:15 |
Michael, Michael... |
00:47:17 |
He doesn't want to hear me say |
00:47:21 |
Reconciliation is not on the agenda. |
00:47:23 |
That's not what he needs. |
00:47:24 |
He has come here and I have come here |
00:48:09 |
Hiya, Joe. Ah, here he is. |
00:48:12 |
I wondered if I could sort you out |
00:48:15 |
Where are you putting that?How are we doing? Ready to go? |
00:48:18 |
I just need to clip this on here. |
00:48:20 |
How are you feeling? Aye, OK. |
00:48:22 |
What about if I put it in here? |
00:48:25 |
Thank you. You sure? |
00:48:27 |
Aye, OK.Just need to clip this on here. |
00:48:32 |
All right, that's it. OK. Good. |
00:48:36 |
What we're gonna do now, we are |
00:48:39 |
Now, the cameraman will be filming |
00:48:42 |
SPEECH BECOMES MUFFLED |
00:48:44 |
RAGGED BREATHING |
00:48:47 |
..Joe? |
00:48:50 |
Yeah, Joe? |
00:48:51 |
Going downstairs, aye. |
00:48:53 |
Now, when you open the door |
00:48:55 |
make sure you open the door wide |
00:49:00 |
OK? Aye. |
00:49:02 |
What the cameraman |
00:49:05 |
and somebody else'll be |
00:49:08 |
Aye. Clear? Aye. |
00:49:11 |
Sure? Aye, I'm sure. OK. |
00:49:29 |
OK, here you are. |
00:49:35 |
OK, we're ready. ..OK. |
00:49:38 |
'Quiet please! Running up. |
00:49:46 |
'Joe, whenever you're ready.' |
00:50:00 |
EXHALES DEEPLY |
00:50:22 |
RAGGED BREATHING |
00:50:40 |
Shit! Cut! What?Sorry, I nearly fell there. |
00:50:43 |
Sorry, Joe. These things happen. I'm |
00:50:47 |
Would you mind |
00:50:49 |
the walk down the stairsAye, OK. |
00:50:54 |
Sorry, Joe. Thank you. |
00:51:00 |
OK, guys, let's rehearse our moves |
00:51:03 |
Then we'll go again. |
00:51:11 |
Can I get a drink of water, please? |
00:51:13 |
..Oh, yeah. |
00:51:24 |
Stay with him. |
00:51:30 |
DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES |
00:51:45 |
So, you're still looking after me, |
00:51:50 |
I just want to say... |
00:51:54 |
But he seems a nice man. Who does? |
00:51:57 |
Mr Little. |
00:52:02 |
Have you met him? Yes. |
00:52:03 |
Where? In Belfast. |
00:52:07 |
I didn't know that.Yes, I was delivering something. |
00:52:11 |
To his home? Yes. |
00:52:12 |
Did you go in? Yes. |
00:52:14 |
Where was that? City centre... |
00:52:17 |
um... |
00:52:19 |
..beside the motorway. |
00:52:21 |
It's a flat, then, is it?Yes, a flat. |
00:52:24 |
So, he let you in, did he?I didn't stay long, I... |
00:52:28 |
What was it like? |
00:52:29 |
His flat? What was it like? |
00:52:31 |
It was like...cold. |
00:52:35 |
Empty. Empty? |
00:52:38 |
Like not a home. |
00:52:40 |
Not a happy place. |
00:52:43 |
Was it? |
00:52:44 |
I didn't like it. |
00:52:46 |
Is he on his own, then? |
00:52:48 |
Yes. Is he? But you liked him? |
00:52:51 |
Yes. |
00:52:53 |
What did you talk about? |
00:52:55 |
About this. |
00:52:57 |
This meeting. What did he say? |
00:52:59 |
Well, he was worried about it.Oh, I bet he was! |
00:53:02 |
He was worried for you. |
00:53:04 |
DOOR OPENS |
00:53:06 |
Joe, ready whenever you are. OK. |
00:53:09 |
What do you...? |
00:53:11 |
Will you let me finish my ciggie? |
00:53:15 |
Aye, yeah, sure... Fine. |
00:53:20 |
Worried for me? What do you mean, |
00:53:23 |
That... He said he thought |
00:53:26 |
He said that, did he? |
00:53:28 |
Yes, difficult for you. |
00:53:33 |
Did he? |
00:53:37 |
What about him? |
00:53:40 |
He didn't talk about himself. |
00:53:43 |
But he seems very sad. |
00:53:46 |
Sad? |
00:53:51 |
I don't know, but... |
00:53:53 |
I don't know him really, |
00:53:58 |
Like he couldn't forgive himself |
00:54:01 |
There's an expression |
00:54:05 |
..a broken man. |
00:54:10 |
A broken man. |
00:54:15 |
So, it's good... |
00:54:19 |
I think. |
00:54:22 |
Fuck! |
00:54:24 |
DOOR OPENS |
00:54:26 |
Ready when you are, Joe. |
00:54:28 |
OK? |
00:54:30 |
Ready when you are. |
00:54:35 |
Aye. |
00:54:38 |
I need an end to this. |
00:54:46 |
Everything OK? |
00:54:48 |
Joe? |
00:54:50 |
Everything OK? |
00:54:53 |
Aye. |
