I didn't know you were a
friend of Antaine Griffin.

I haven't talked to him for a
long time, 50 years at least.
- Well, he's back in
Londonderry to cause havoc.
Do you want peace?
- You brought guns into my church.
Are you trying to tell me
that you're looking for peace?

that's the last thing

You could help us to put him away.

- You're misusing the pulpit.
- Is that so?
I thought you didn't understand Irish.
- Oh, I understand all
right, but as a member
of His Majesty's Constabulary,
I use the King's English.
- I hope Father Eoin didn't
upset you with his sedition.
- Oh, I've heard worse.
- Theres' a wave of independence
and so-called freedom
sweeping the country.
Antaine, I believe
congratulations are in order.

- I don't believe the permission
was sought for this gathering.
Was it, Sergeant Brown?
- No sir!
- I'd say that this gathering
is quite possibly illegal
and in breach of His Majesty's act!
Sergeant, if you will,
explain DORA to these people.
- The Defence of the Realm Act of 1914--
(people shouting)
- Without the expressed permission
of His Majesty's Constabulary,
and any group as such
is therefore an infringement
and deemed an illegal assembly.
(people shouting)

Sergeant, the act.
Section 4A.
"If the assembly can be defined
as a religious gathering,
"then said assembly is therefore not
regarded as illegal and does not fall--
(people cheering)
And does not fall under
the remit of said act.
- They were dancing.
- Ridiculous.
(people arguing)
Brown, release them. (growls)
Come on, enough!

- Oh, a piece of khaki makes
him less human, does it?
Feidhlim, you didn't
shoot that boy, did you?
- No, I did not.
- That's it, Feidhlim.
First job, you'll hide a
few bullets in your bedroom.
Then you start carrying an empty gun.
Another day, you put
the bullets in the gun
and fire it, and God knows where it lands.
- Those people carry bigger guns than us.
Father?
- It can't all be their fault.
I'm not giving you this gun.

has been done for you.

Come on.

gave it to His disciples
and said, "Eat this, all of you.
"This is my body, which
will be given up for you."

gave it to his disciples and said,
"Take this, all of you, and drink from it.
"This is the cup of my blood,
"the blood of the new
and everlasting covenant.
"It will be shed for you and for all
"so that sins may be forgiven.
