00:00:34,186 --> 00:00:35,(VO) D'you know what?

00:00:35,586 --> 00:00:38,Every fuckin' story about
Belfast starts like this.

00:00:38,356 --> 00:00:40,(series of explosions)

00:00:42,627 --> 00:00:45,But not this one and don't
be acting the fuckin' balloon,

00:00:45,596 --> 00:00:46,that's not the start.

00:00:47,933 --> 00:00:49,This is the start.

00:00:49,935 --> 00:00:54,With my best mate, Naoise,
when he was a wee baby,

00:00:54,139 --> 00:00:56,and his ma, Dolores,
out in ma nature...

00:00:59,610 --> 00:01:02,This wasn't his ma's idea
at all.

00:01:10,388 --> 00:01:12,Naoise's da, Arlo,

00:01:12,157 --> 00:01:14,well, he wanted his firstborn
baptised here

00:01:14,827 --> 00:01:16,at this secret Mass Rock.

00:01:18,030 --> 00:01:20,It was a tribute to the
Irish Catholics who,

00:01:20,431 --> 00:01:21,just a few generations ago,

00:01:21,900 --> 00:01:24,gave the middle finger to
British rule by sneaking here

00:01:24,502 --> 00:01:27,to practise their own religion
and speak their own language.

00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:28,(helicopter)

00:01:28,974 --> 00:01:30,Except the peelers went
and thought

00:01:30,741 --> 00:01:32,they'd uncovered themselves
an IRA training camp.

00:01:33,111 --> 00:01:34,(helicopter louder)

00:01:34,545 --> 00:01:37,So on the day wee baby Naoise
was supposed to be taken

00:01:37,149 --> 00:01:38,by the light of Christ,

00:01:38,817 --> 00:01:41,instead he g***t the full beams
of an RUC chopper.

00:01:43,454 --> 00:01:44,(muffled shrieks)

00:01:46,691 --> 00:01:48,F***k off!!!

00:01:55,466 --> 00:01:57,(helicopter fading)

00:01:57,202 --> 00:02:00,(VO) I mean, what f***g
chance did the wee boy have?

00:02:02,007 --> 00:02:03,♪♪ techno

00:02:15,686 --> 00:02:16,♪♪ Powerful

00:02:19,390 --> 00:02:21,Me and Naoise, we g***t our
first taste for drugs

00:02:21,994 --> 00:02:24,at Ireland's most infamous
criminal finishing school.

00:02:24,562 --> 00:02:25,♪♪ Powerful

00:02:32,170 --> 00:02:33,(sirens)

00:02:37,508 --> 00:02:39,Stop! Stop there!

00:02:45,416 --> 00:02:46,♪♪ Powerful ♪♪

00:02:49,221 --> 00:02:50,(congregation coughing)

00:02:53,524 --> 00:02:54,(coughing)

00:02:54,725 --> 00:02:57,Next Sunday, that congregation
doubled.

00:02:57,930 --> 00:02:59,♪♪ Powerful, powerful ♪♪

00:03:02,234 --> 00:03:05,That's drugs for you -
they bring you closer to God.

00:03:05,536 --> 00:03:09,For Naoise and me, they were
our f***g calling.

00:03:09,174 --> 00:03:10,and as Mass Rocks proved

00:03:10,708 --> 00:03:14,nothing gets between us Taigs
and our religion.

00:03:14,279 --> 00:03:16,(dogs barking) (sirens)

00:03:26,457 --> 00:03:27,(loud bellow)

00:03:34,766 --> 00:03:36,Didn't matter what community

00:03:36,201 --> 00:03:37,in the north of Ireland
you came from,

00:03:38,036 --> 00:03:39,we could always find
common ground

00:03:40,072 --> 00:03:42,in a love for throwin' s***t
at the Peelers.

00:03:44,977 --> 00:03:47,And as for Naoise,
he was off learning

00:03:47,379 --> 00:03:49,that public transport
doesn't mix well

00:03:49,915 --> 00:03:50,with ketamine.

00:03:50,983 --> 00:03:53,(distorted techno music playing)

00:04:17,109 --> 00:04:18,(music stops)

00:04:20,678 --> 00:04:23,As for myself, tonight
I learnt what it's like

00:04:23,614 --> 00:04:25,getting bitten by a dog
wiped on MDMA.

00:04:26,018 --> 00:04:29,It feels... (dog snarls)
...f***g mental.

00:04:29,321 --> 00:04:30,(sirens)

00:04:45,937 --> 00:04:47,Okay.

00:05:16,868 --> 00:05:17,(school bell)

00:05:18,804 --> 00:05:20,(chairs scrape back)

00:05:30,949 --> 00:05:31,(sigh)

00:05:46,531 --> 00:05:48,(news)
Northern Ireland's government

00:05:48,266 --> 00:05:50,has in the last hour collapsed

00:05:50,168 --> 00:05:52,over failure to agree on
an Irish Language Act

00:05:52,404 --> 00:05:55,giving the minority language
equal legal status to English.

00:05:55,874 --> 00:05:58,Many republicans see the
language as an expression

00:05:58,577 --> 00:06:00,of their political identity.

00:06:00,644 --> 00:06:02,They say it's a matter
of civil rights.

00:06:02,646 --> 00:06:05,(interviewee) The Irish
language is my heart and soul.

00:06:05,283 --> 00:06:08,If it was the colour of my skin
and you could easily identify

00:06:08,253 --> 00:06:10,me as being of a different
colour, and the DUP said,

00:06:10,789 --> 00:06:12,'We can't give equal rights
to this guy',

00:06:12,791 --> 00:06:14,I think the issue would
be clearer.'

00:06:36,281 --> 00:06:37,(cheering and applause)

00:06:42,921 --> 00:06:43,(phone buzzing)

00:06:52,330 --> 00:06:53,Hello.

00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,Yes, it is.

00:06:57,802 --> 00:06:58,What... Now?

00:07:44,983 --> 00:07:46,Nothing but a hood.

00:07:47,052 --> 00:07:49,H double O D.

00:07:51,456 --> 00:07:53,Lowlife scum.

00:07:53,858 --> 00:07:55,Waste of f***g space.

00:07:57,295 --> 00:08:01,Do I look like I want to read
f***g subtitles?

00:08:03,501 --> 00:08:05,(speaking Irish)

00:08:07,939 --> 00:08:10,Why don't you just speak
the Queen's English?

00:08:10,609 --> 00:08:11,You...

00:08:14,012 --> 00:08:17,(VO) This was a fair question,
though rudely asked.

00:08:17,816 --> 00:08:20,For me to respond to this
sectarian prick in Irish,

00:08:20,318 --> 00:08:22,I'd have to say something
along the lines of...

00:08:22,487 --> 00:08:24,(speaking Irish)

00:08:26,891 --> 00:08:28,Which means:

00:08:28,393 --> 00:08:31,'May the lowest stone in the
sea be on top of your head'.

00:08:31,796 --> 00:08:33,You do get there a lot quicker
with...

00:08:35,967 --> 00:08:37,(water splashing)

00:08:46,578 --> 00:08:48,Stop that, they'll catch
a cold!

00:08:52,217 --> 00:08:54,I'm proud to have learnt
my irregular verbs

00:08:54,319 --> 00:08:55,on a wall covered in shite!

00:08:55,887 --> 00:08:57,-Aye, your own shite!
-Aye.

00:08:57,956 --> 00:08:59,And you know what that shite
smelt like?

00:09:00,325 --> 00:09:01,Freedom.

00:09:01,761 --> 00:09:04,Not when I've been in the
toilet after you it doesn't.

00:09:04,629 --> 00:09:06,What'll the next class be,
Grade 1 tunnelling?

00:09:06,931 --> 00:09:09,Yoga actually, Ma.

00:09:09,367 --> 00:09:11,Leave them be to get on
with their real homework.

00:09:13,038 --> 00:09:14,Catch yourself on!

00:09:14,439 --> 00:09:18,Pity your ma, Naoise.
Born with Irish in her mouth.

00:09:18,310 --> 00:09:20,Now disowns her own
mother tongue...

00:09:33,325 --> 00:09:36,Get you home, your mammy will
think we've kidnapped you.

00:09:36,261 --> 00:09:37,A wee operation for youse.

00:09:37,862 --> 00:09:40,I want you to sit down tonight

00:09:40,198 --> 00:09:42,and watch an American Western
on the telly.

00:09:43,034 --> 00:09:44,But here's the thing:

00:09:44,869 --> 00:09:48,Watch it from the Indian's
point of view, ok?

00:09:48,973 --> 00:09:49,And remember:

00:10:07,959 --> 00:10:09,(VO)
And then Naoise's da was gone.

00:10:10,495 --> 00:10:11,Like, gone gone.

00:10:12,097 --> 00:10:13,Turns out since leaving jail

00:10:13,665 --> 00:10:17,Arlo was having an affair with
blowing up anything British.

00:10:17,435 --> 00:10:18,He blew this up.

00:10:18,703 --> 00:10:20,And this.

00:10:20,171 --> 00:10:21,And...

00:10:21,373 --> 00:10:22,Alright, that one didn't
go off.

00:10:24,442 --> 00:10:26,Anyway, three years after
going on the run,

00:10:26,711 --> 00:10:28,Arlo fell to his death
from a fishing boat.

00:10:29,614 --> 00:10:30,(splash)

00:10:30,816 --> 00:10:33,Or, if you believe
the peelers, he didn't.

00:10:35,387 --> 00:10:36,With his dead body
never found,

00:10:37,055 --> 00:10:39,Arlo couldn't be proved dead,

00:10:39,324 --> 00:10:41,and with his alive body
never found,

00:10:41,493 --> 00:10:43,Arlo couldn't be proved alive.

00:10:44,496 --> 00:10:47,The dead Arlo had his funeral.

00:10:47,198 --> 00:10:49,And the alive Arlo remained
on the run.

00:10:51,536 --> 00:10:54,And to this day, just having
met the man

00:10:54,406 --> 00:10:58,was enough to have some lump
spitting in your beak over it.

00:10:58,209 --> 00:11:00,I mean, Arlo was right
about one thing:

00:11:00,846 --> 00:11:03,Cowboys... were proper cunts.

00:11:03,849 --> 00:11:04,(door opens)

00:11:12,223 --> 00:11:13,Move!

00:11:13,925 --> 00:11:16,This is Mr O Dochartaigh.
(door closes)

00:11:16,161 --> 00:11:19,He is an Irish interpreter....
