:11:00
Much worse.
:11:04
So... one day...
this was before you were born.

:11:07
I was coming home
after working hard all day.

:11:11
And I saw them -- the bailiffs
attacking our homes.

:11:15
Big bastards with hammers and
knives and all sorts of things.

:11:18
But that didn't stop me
when I saw what they were at.

:11:20
I went for them.
:11:22
We fought for hours.
:11:23
But there was too many altogether.
:11:25
So, your ma and me and Lisa
:11:27
we barricaded ourselves in
and we wouldn't come out.

:11:30
You're need gonna take our homes
away from us.

:11:32
And they couldn't get in,
no matter how hard they tried.

:11:34
They huffed and they puffed,
but it was no use.

:11:38
And all around us...
:11:40
we could hear
the screaming and wailing

:11:42
of our friends and neighbors
:11:44
as they tore their houses
to little pieces.

:11:47
Like savages they were.
:11:49
They tried everything
:11:51
but they didn't know me.
:11:53
I wouldn't budge.
:11:55
No matter if they brought the
whole place down around our ears.

:11:57
And then the Mayor came!
:11:58
That's right.
:12:00
They were so pissed off
they couldn't get the better of me

:12:03
the Lord Mayor of Dublin himself
come out to see your da.

:12:07
Mr. Lynch.
:12:10
Michael!
:12:12
Michael! Michael, please,
if you'll just hear me.

:12:16
Michael...
:12:20
Get on your knees!
:12:22
I'm pleading with you!
:12:23
I personally have been authorized
:12:25
to offer you these keys
to two houses.

:12:29
One for us and one for Auntie Lisa.
:12:31
And I made him promise...
:12:33
that no-one could ever take
our homes away from us again.

:12:36
And the Mayor said...
:12:38
Yes, I promise!
:12:43
So, I graciously
accepted their offer.

:12:46
I won. I beat them all.
:12:49
The bailiff and the Mayor
and the law.

:12:52
I was loyal.
And that's why I won.

:12:56
You see, the thing is...
:12:59
they'll never beat you...
