00:00:00Oh my country, I say over and over. I am one of your sons, it is true. I am. I am. Yet how?
00:00:30Shall I show my love?
00:01:00Shall I show my love?
00:01:29Shall I show my love?
00:01:59Shall I show my love?
00:02:29Thank you, Stephen. Your father does have a sermon to prepare.
00:02:35Well, we like you to like good music, Stephen, but it was terribly loud.
00:02:43Don't be silly, Stephen.
00:02:51It's all right, Mother.
00:03:01It's all right, Mother. You've ruined it now.
00:03:03I think it's all right.
00:03:13I think it's all right.
00:03:23I think it's all right.
00:03:31I think it's all right.
00:03:40It poses the most important question.
00:03:50I think it's all right.
00:04:00I think it's all right.
00:04:10I think it's all right.
00:04:20I think it's all right.
00:04:30I think it's all right.
00:04:40I think it's all right.
00:04:42I think it's all right.
00:04:52I think it's all right.
00:05:02I think it's all right.
00:05:04I think it's all right.
00:05:13I think it's all right.
00:05:15I think it's all right.
00:05:45A terrible silence, and then breaks out a brief fearful dissonance, the moment of the
00:05:53glance of God, surely the most shattering moment in all of music.
00:06:06To hear in your head such sounds.
00:06:11To be a man, have heaven and hell between your ears, and write them down in notes.
00:06:22And walk those hills, and hear the angel and the demon, the judgment on those hills.
00:06:34And hear the dissonance, that is the piercing glance of God.
00:07:04Hello, Squire.
00:07:09Is this the day you school kids play at soldiers then?
00:07:14Some of us are learning to defend our country.
00:07:19I should get your anklet straight then, England's last hope.
00:07:27I wish Joel would like me.
00:07:30He can be so cutting.
00:07:38I was wondering when you would notice.
00:07:40Milk lad.
00:07:41Hardly original.
00:07:42So unaware.
00:07:44You'll grow through it.
00:07:46We most of us do.
00:07:48So totally unaware.
00:07:50And so late.
00:07:52What do they say here?
00:07:54A late spring never lies.
00:07:59You've been sung.
00:08:01And in the gallantinents divine shine forth upon our red fields.
00:08:14And was Jerusalem filled with fear, among the stars' crowning hills.
00:08:28What do them letters say?
00:08:56Those letters.
00:08:58Sifros, you mean, balance of mind.
00:09:01Trust Franklin.
00:09:02Franklin always knows.
00:09:04His father's a priest.
00:09:05Not a priest, a parson.
00:09:08Don't you know the difference, Honeybone?
00:09:10Thyme everywhere, help in the showers.
00:09:12The car and soap flakes.
00:09:14Honeybone, let there be light.
00:09:17A healthy mind in a healthy body.
00:09:20Even help in the bog, look.
00:09:22Genofi seata.
00:09:23That means discover thyself.
00:09:26Don't cover thy ass, more like.
00:09:29Honeybone.
00:09:30That's dirty.
00:09:31Cadet Franklin, your webbing's a disgrace.
00:09:34Corporal Honeybone.
00:09:35Your buckles are disgusting.
00:09:37Corporal Honeybone.
00:09:38Male and female must both be cleaned.
00:09:41Catch something else?
00:09:41Mr. Chairman, sir.
00:09:45Gentlemen.
00:09:47Our country, England, is the freest in the world.
00:09:50We have liberty of movement, liberty of choice.
00:09:54Free speech.
00:09:55A free press.
00:09:56We do not have political censorship.
00:09:59Our police are not armed.
00:10:01We do not have a secret police.
00:10:03We know what we are discussing here tonight.
00:10:07Not the media in general, but one program in particular.
00:10:11That one that is in everybody's mind just now.
00:10:14The so-called TV documentary, Who Was Jesus?
00:10:18Who Was Jesus?
00:10:20It calls itself, I quote,
00:10:24Investigative Theology.
00:10:26We know in our hearts it is atheistic and subversive trash.
00:10:31From this at least, the homes of England have been saved by a timely injunction,
00:10:36for which we have not the abstraction of freedom itself to thank,
00:10:39but those who exercise eternal vigilance on its behalf.
00:10:43Look at this man and woman.
00:10:47See if you do not see them as I see them.
00:10:50A mother and a father above all parents.
00:10:54A mother and a father of England,
00:10:56who in this modern wilderness of amorality,
00:10:59stand up alone to uphold our airing national family on its Christian path.
00:11:10Perhaps we should let the 18th birthday pass
00:11:12and not tell him at all.
00:11:15Never tell him.
00:11:18It was agreed.
00:11:21In the beginning.
00:11:27Not to tell him.
00:11:30Till he was 18.
00:11:32Was agreed.
00:11:36A mistake.
00:11:39Yes.
00:11:42We should have done what we thought was right.
00:11:47Not what we agreed.
00:11:52Yes.
00:11:57With all respect to the lady who asked this,
00:11:59our postmistress,
00:12:01I hope she doesn't take this out on me by withholding my mail.
00:12:04You talk about strikers holding the country to ransom.
00:12:09And what are they supposed to do?
00:12:11Play cricket?
00:12:13Besides, hold us to ransom.
00:12:15Isn't that what government itself does?
00:12:18And by government,
00:12:20I don't mean those figureheads
00:12:21who come pleading to us every five years
00:12:23to have their licenses renewed.
00:12:25I mean, the manipulators,
00:12:27the fixers,
00:12:29the psychopaths who have real power in the land.
00:12:32Is it strikers who play Monopoly for real
00:12:36with our countryside and cities?
00:12:38Is it strikers who smash the fabric of our communities for greed?
00:12:43Is it strikers who throw up in the air,
00:12:46million after million,
00:12:47your taxes and mine,
00:12:49on bungles, deliriums and fantasies?
00:12:54Is it strikers who pillage our earth,
00:12:57ransack it, drain it,
00:12:59dry for quick gain,
00:13:00to hand on nothing but dust to the children of tomorrow?
00:13:03Now, now, come off it, Mr. Arne.
00:13:07People were dying because of this strike?
00:13:09Yes.
00:13:11Pensioners, old soldiers,
00:13:12dying of starvation and cold.
00:13:14Yes.
00:13:17When that happens in a strike,
00:13:20it's cold they die of.
00:13:21When it's inflation,
00:13:23authorities' high hand,
00:13:24or callousness that kill them,
00:13:26it's hypothermia they die of then.
00:13:29Now, you have to get this into perspective.
00:13:30Perspective, I give you.
00:13:35What, for instance,
00:13:36is the ultimate question
00:13:37a government are left with
00:13:39when pondering matters of defence?
00:13:43How many million civilians
00:13:45can we afford to let get slaughtered
00:13:47before the remainder revolt and depose us?
00:13:52Mr. Chairman,
00:13:53do we have to endure this hysterical barrage?
00:13:55Each must have its say, son English.
00:13:58Look!
00:14:00Not far from here is an expanse of country.
00:14:04You all know it well,
00:14:05Brummies drive out of a Sunday
00:14:06to leave their litter there.
00:14:09Poets have hymned
00:14:11the spirit of this landscape.
00:14:14Our greatest composer has enshrined it.
00:14:17Farmland and pasture now,
00:14:19an ancient fen.
00:14:21The earth beneath your feet
00:14:24feels solid there.
00:14:26It is not.
00:14:27Somewhere there the land is hollow.
00:14:30Somewhere beneath
00:14:32is being constructed
00:14:33something we are not supposed to know.
00:14:37A top secret.
00:14:38We locals are not supposed to know
00:14:40it's even there.
00:14:42And you accept it?
00:14:45What is it then?
00:14:48An air raid shelter
00:14:48to shift the population of Birmingham
00:14:51to in all of four minutes.
00:14:52What is it hidden beneath
00:14:56this shell of lovely earth?
00:14:59Some hideous angel
00:15:00of technocratic death.
00:15:03An alternative city
00:15:05for government from beneath.
00:15:07Motorways there.
00:15:10Offices,
00:15:11control suites,
00:15:12silent, empty,
00:15:13waiting for the day.
00:15:16Telephones,
00:15:17computers,
00:15:18signal equipment,
00:15:19ministry pencils,
00:15:22every grade of H&B,
00:15:24ready,
00:15:24sharpened against the minute.
00:15:27Oh, you say,
00:15:28it must be something
00:15:29to protect us.
00:15:31Us?
00:15:32When for all we know
00:15:34the likelihood is
00:15:35our entire civilian population
00:15:37is marked down
00:15:38on some top secret memo
00:15:40somewhere
00:15:40as strategically expendable.
00:15:42when you talk
00:15:44of holding the country
00:15:45to ransom,
00:15:46please think of possibilities
00:15:48like that.
00:15:50The British working man
00:15:51will never let
00:15:52a dictatorship happen.
00:15:58He's far too bloody-minded.
00:16:01I damn well hope so.
00:16:03Mr. Arne is a writer.
00:16:05For all I know,
00:16:06he might be another Shakespeare.
00:16:09But his imagination
00:16:10runs away with him.
00:16:11Mr. Arne is a shocker.
00:16:15He's a terrible crankfarmer.
00:16:17He is a shocker.
00:16:20He's not a nice man
00:16:21from his television plays.
00:16:23Well, can't you, Mother?
00:16:24There's always somebody
00:16:25in them unnatural.
00:16:27I think he's unnatural himself.
00:16:31That's why he and his wife
00:16:32haven't been blessed
00:16:33with children.
00:16:37Steve, um,
00:16:39it's probably a good thing.
00:16:40What?
00:16:41That they haven't
00:16:42any children.
00:16:43Bringing them up
00:16:44with values like they have.
00:16:45God gives to whom he chooses.
00:16:47He does not make mistakes.
00:16:48Steven, you can be grotesque.
00:16:50He doesn't make mistakes.
00:16:51I don't want to know.
00:17:09I'm sorry.
00:17:10I can't believe you.
00:17:11I just want to be a photographer.
00:17:14Have one for me while you're on my boat at!
00:17:36Hey, hands off, Barry!
00:17:44What's the matter?
00:17:46Manners!
00:17:48Oh, you old brother!
00:17:52I'm gonna have my life like that.
00:17:56I'm gonna have my life like that.
00:18:00Hey, what?
00:18:02Ha ha ha ha!
00:18:04You can drink, huh?
00:18:06Look at that boat!
00:18:08Oh, you're all right, Barry.
00:18:12You're all right, Barry.
00:18:14You don't know what I'm gonna get out of here, Barry.
00:18:16You're a lot, Biles!
00:18:22ROT!
00:18:24ROT, Gisborne!
00:18:30ROT!
00:18:32ROT!
00:18:34ROT!
00:18:36ROT!
00:18:38ROT!
00:18:40ROT!
00:18:42ROT!
00:18:44ROT!
00:18:46ROT!
00:18:48The man...
00:18:50in the fire!
00:18:52I'm sorry, Mrs. Gisborne.
00:18:54It's not impossible for you to see your son.
00:18:56Nobody can see Mrs. Gisborne.
00:18:58Only the doctors!
00:19:00ROT!
00:19:02ROT!
00:19:04ROT!
00:19:06ROT!
00:19:08ROT!
00:19:10ROT!
00:19:12I had a dream like that, sir.
00:19:14Like the queen in the play, sir.
00:19:16About a snake, frankly.
00:19:18No, sir.
00:19:20ROT!
00:19:22I had a dream, sir.
00:19:24ROT!
00:19:26ROT!
00:19:28There's a demon on my dad's church tower, sir.
00:19:30Black and shiny, like a jet statue, looking down at me, sir.
00:19:34Then I thought, still dreaming, sir, I'll turn him to an angel.
00:19:38So I used my willpower in my dream, sir.
00:19:40Pushed all my will up at the demon on the church, and turned him into a shining angel.
00:19:46Then I thought, in my dream, sir, if I can turn him one way, I can turn him back.
00:19:52So I pushed all my will, and up on the tower, the angel turned to a demon again.
00:19:58A manichean dream, Franklin.
00:20:04Yes, sir.
00:20:06Does that mean dirty, sir?
00:20:08ROT!
00:20:10ROT!
00:20:12ROT!
00:20:14ROT!
00:20:16ROT!
00:20:18ROT!
00:20:20ROT!
00:20:22ROT!
00:20:24ROT!
00:20:26ROT!
00:20:27ROT!
00:20:28ROT!
00:20:30ROT!
00:20:31It's a heresy, sir.
00:20:35ROT!
00:20:39ROT!
00:20:40A heretical belief in the early church that the universe was a battlefield
00:20:43between the forces of lightness and dark, sir!
00:20:57I only wish, Franklin, you would now and then transfer your manikin impulse to the ruggerfield.
00:21:08Yes, sir. Franklin doesn't do anything for the house, sir.
00:21:14But he's a passenger. He ought to be boiled in oil.
00:21:19They're skinned first, then boiled alive.
00:21:27I say, excuse me. You've spelt Pin-Vin wrong. It's V, not F. Pin-Vin.
00:21:55The police had this road blocked off this morning. Why can't we get through?
00:21:59Well, it's disclosed.
00:22:01Why?
00:22:02I just can't get through.
00:22:08It's Pin-Vin.
00:22:10Yes. Pull the other one, Rector. There's a peal of bells on.
00:22:25You know, I was thinking the other day, the lonely places our technocrats choose for their obscene experiments.
00:22:32Los Alamos, for instance.
00:22:37Ah, yes. The birthplace of the atomic bomb.
00:22:39The ancient Indians had venerated that for centuries as secret ground.
00:22:43Again and again. Everywhere you'll find these sick laboratories built on or beneath such haunted sites.
00:22:49As though thereby to bottle the primal genie of the earth and to pervert him.
00:22:58Now, who is the genie in art, then?
00:23:05I wouldn't know.
00:23:07Are you interested in the occult, Mr. Arne?
00:23:11Not in the least.
00:23:13I'm a writer. Demons are my own.
00:23:17It's not for nothing, then.
00:23:19Always around churches, ghosts and demons give the greatest trouble. They do say.
00:23:23Ah, because the church gives off most powerfully the Manichean challenge.
00:23:27Some would say that the spire of a church acts as an aerial,
00:23:30attracting around it the old elemental forces of light and darkness in combat. Some would say.
00:23:35I am not sure which side the church has always been on.
00:23:46Hello, Stephen.
00:23:49Hello, Mrs. Arne.
00:23:52What's the leaf for?
00:23:54Comfrey.
00:23:56She has an abscess.
00:23:58A herb cure?
00:23:59Not a cure so much.
00:24:01The only way to let an abscess heal is to stop bitch-face worrying at it.
00:24:05Can't the vet put a poultice on?
00:24:07She'll tear it off.
00:24:08They don't like foreign bodies, but she'll leave a leaf.
00:24:11She doesn't even know it's on.
00:24:13She'll stand a infant.
00:24:14I'll take a while, dear.
00:24:15I'll take a while.
00:24:16Put the cat down, dear.
00:24:17She isn't a child.
00:24:18Follow me, dear.
00:24:19She's not a child.
00:24:20Why is mannequinism a heresy, Dad?
00:24:21Put the cat down, dear. She isn't a child.
00:24:38Why is Manichaeanism a heresy, Dad?
00:24:42The world is a battleground between good and evil.
00:24:45Why is it in error to believe so?
00:24:47Manichaeans didn't believe exactly that.
00:24:51They believed that light was a vulnerable spark in man
00:24:56under constant attack from forces of darkness.
00:25:00They hoped for some great son of light himself to come
00:25:04to vanquish darkness and set light free.
00:25:08The son of light has come. His name is Jesus.
00:25:11Not to the Manichaeans.
00:25:13Jesus to them was only one of many sons of light.
00:25:17In an unending succession of them.
00:25:20In an unending battle.
00:25:22To save man's spark of light.
00:25:29Father, do you think dreams come true?
00:25:32They don't come true.
00:25:34They are true.
00:25:35What do you mean?
00:25:37Your dream tells you a truth about yourself.
00:25:41Truth you hide from while you're awake.
00:25:44Truth you need to know about yourself.
00:25:47For your well-being.
00:25:49This buried truth comes up in your head while you're asleep.
00:25:56Rising to act itself out like a playful.
00:26:00That's the responsibility of the dream, Stephen.
00:26:04To acknowledge that truth about yourself the dream reveals.
00:26:09Then act upon that truth.
00:26:12Believer would call such a dream a voice from God.
00:26:18You're a believer.
00:26:19We're believers.
00:26:20You believe in God.
00:26:24I believe in truth.
00:26:42All of you.
00:26:58One of you.
00:27:05Thank you very much.
00:30:11Sorry, Joe. I thought Stephen would have come.
00:30:45Squad A, missing Cadet Rifleman Ascoff, sir. Absent from school, sir.
00:30:50Squad B, all present and correct, sir.
00:30:53Squad C, missing Corporal Franklin, sir. Not absent from school, sir.
00:30:57Find Haniban, sir.
00:30:59Find Franklin, will you? Sir.
00:31:02Discover thyself, discover thyself.
00:31:32Thank you, sir.
00:32:02Let's go.
00:32:32Let's go.
00:33:02Let's go.
00:33:12What?
00:33:14Spit it out, squire.
00:33:17Put it in a letter, squire.
00:33:19End good old day.
00:33:20Some of us has to work.
00:33:21So, now you'll renege on your military apprenticeship or so.
00:33:47What are you, Franklin?
00:33:53A non-cooperative, sir.
00:33:55And whose noble company do you now join?
00:33:58The sixth-form remnant, sir.
00:34:05What sort of person are you going to be?
00:34:08I do not say what sort of man.
00:34:11You begin to wonder, Franklin, whether you want to be a man at all.
00:34:13My opinions carry a deal of weight, whatever you may think of them.
00:34:25It's opinions such as mine that you'll have to contend with all along the line.
00:34:28Your decision to be a non-cooperative is a decision you'll have to make again and again and again.
00:34:38Even more so after you leave here, Franklin.
00:34:41Every moment, every day, against the reality of the world.
00:34:48You're the only boy in my house I still cannot recommend.
00:35:18For the sixth-form club.
00:35:21Doesn't that pain you?
00:35:27If that's how you feel, Mr. Cook.
00:35:32Sir?
00:35:32Sir?
00:35:32Sir?
00:35:48Sir?
00:36:03Sir?
00:36:03Sir?
00:36:04Sir?
00:36:04Oh, my God.
00:36:34Oh, my God.
00:37:04Oh, my God.
00:37:34Oh, my God.
00:38:04Oh, my God.
00:38:34Oh, my God.
00:39:04You all right, squire?
00:39:14You all right?
00:39:15You all right?
00:39:22I'm charging down that hill right into me.
00:39:25Hey.
00:39:27Hey.
00:39:28Hey.
00:39:29Sorry.
00:39:31Just help you up.
00:39:34That's all.
00:39:35That's all.
00:39:47That's all.
00:39:47That's all.
00:39:59That's all.
00:40:01All right, he'll get over it.
00:40:31All right.
00:41:01All right.
00:41:31All right.
00:42:01All right.

00:43:55All right.
00:43:56All right.
00:43:57really going on have been steadily weakened by the entertainment barons for gain, by the
00:44:02yes-men for cravenness. We're not people anymore with eyes to see. We're blind, gaping holes
00:44:11at the end of a production line with stuffing the trash. We're not even citizens. We're
00:44:17dubbed serfs on some mad Great Wall of China project. Our taskmasters know Hitler, Stalin
00:44:24or Mao, but our own management class. Their pink fat faces even begin to look alike. My
00:44:32husband's what people call a paranoid, a persecuting maniac. That's right. The trouble is, his
00:44:38twisted notions usually prove true. There's one hope for man only. When a great
00:44:44concrete megacity chokes the globe from pole to pole, it shall already have bedded in some
00:44:51hidden crack, the sacred seed of its own disintegration and collapse. Disobedience,
00:44:57chaos. Out of those alone can some new experiment in human living be born.
00:45:02Here am I subverting you. Your father will be horrified.
00:45:14Horrified. Oh, I don't know.
00:45:44Horrified. Oh, I don't know.
00:45:59Dear Headmaster, as you say, our team was proud in his corporal's
00:46:29uniform on all that it stood for, I can only assume that he is now finding some other
00:46:58cause in which to invest his national pride.
00:47:09Well, I can only assume it's because you hanker suddenly to join what I term your generation's
00:47:18underside.
00:47:19You've never wholeheartedly subscribed, have you, Franklin, to the traditions of the school?
00:47:29Consider the photographs.
00:47:30It's fashionable now to mock such men as these, but their service to England and man is sterling
00:47:39and true.
00:47:40When the roll of honour is called of the sons of England, who should be honoured?
00:47:47Or these?
00:47:48Or these?
00:47:49Or are you?
00:47:50Yes, sir.
00:47:51Let's see.
00:47:55Yes, sir.
00:48:00Yes, sir.
00:48:02Nothing in the world is known.
00:48:08I don't know.
00:48:38I don't know.
00:49:08I don't know.
00:49:38Sir Edward?
00:49:43I don't know.
00:50:13I don't know.
00:50:15I don't know.
00:50:17I don't know.
00:50:19I don't know.
00:50:21I don't know.
00:50:23I don't know.
00:50:25I don't know.
00:50:27I don't know.
00:50:29I don't know.
00:50:31I don't know.
00:50:33I don't know.
00:50:35I don't know.
00:50:37I don't know.
00:50:39I don't know.
00:50:41I don't know.
00:50:43I don't know.
00:50:45I don't know.
00:50:47I don't know.
00:50:49I don't know.
00:50:53I don't know.
00:50:55I don't know.
00:50:57I don't know.
00:50:59I don't know.
00:51:01I don't know.
00:51:03I don't know.
00:51:05I don't know.
00:51:07I don't know.
00:51:09I don't know.
00:51:11I don't know.
00:51:13I don't know.
00:51:17I don't know.
00:51:19I do not know.
00:51:21mine, you see. I stood up, quaking, I, I, my hand was, fist was raised, my brow was thunder.
00:51:34Stop, stop, stop! You ruined my birthday! He busted the tears around from the house and never sang a note again.
00:51:49Because, you see, that song was written for my wife, my wife, so long ago.
00:52:19One day, when I was very old, the surgeons cut half my rotten stomach out. No anaesthetic.
00:52:40Shock was too much for the old heart. They anaesthetised the stomach only. There was a tiny curtain so that I couldn't see them cutting me.
00:52:58It was a mirror in the ceiling. They've forgotten about that. I lay down and watched in the mirror above me everything the surgeon did. His knife butchering and bowling me alive.
00:53:18My vitals, my sustaining blood, is all that alcohol.
00:53:30Oh, very interesting. Have they cracked the enigma yet? My secret, the famous tune that fits with my enigma theme. Has anyone identified it yet?
00:53:52Oh, that, sir. Well, they have tried combining your theme with all sorts of tunes.
00:53:59Auld Lang Syne in the minor, even God Save the King. None of the combinations is really convincing.
00:54:05The tune that fits under all their noses, but they won't spot it. Because, you see, they have no demon for counterpoint.
00:54:20Shall I tell you what it is?
00:54:22Yes, come here.
00:54:24That, sir. That!
00:54:31Sing it.
00:54:33Hear how my tune combines with that.
00:54:38Bump!
00:54:40Now, shh!
00:54:42You're like one of the lunatics from the asylum where I taught.
00:54:46In your head, boy. Do you want all the world to know?
00:54:49Sing it in your head, nobly.
00:54:53I'll add my theme.
00:54:55Then, listen.
00:54:57In your head.
00:54:59How will they both combine?
00:55:00Now...
00:55:01Da-da-dee-dom...
00:55:22So, tell no one, Stephen, nobody.
00:55:27There's a secret between the hills, yourself and me.
00:55:34Tell the grave, sir.
00:55:37The grave.
00:55:39Oh, yes.
00:55:40If, on the hills, you ever hear the sound of an old man's whistling in the air, don't be afraid.
00:55:56It'll only be me.
00:55:59I come back to look at the world, you see.
00:56:05The lovely world.
00:56:06The silver river.
00:56:13The very beautiful world.
00:56:18Look, look, beautiful world.
00:56:36The silver river.
00:57:45Don't you sneer, Stephen.
00:57:48A man cannot leave the belt for one moment without getting a stand in to take his place.
00:57:57The belt moves on regardless of the needs of men.
00:58:00It gets at a man's heart.
00:58:07The whole rhythm of his life is chained to the machine.
00:58:11It's called productivity, Stephen.
00:58:13I've seen it all day long.
00:58:18The ambulance is here and never still.
00:58:19The man's heart is chained to the animals.
00:58:21The life is chained to the man.
00:58:23The woman's heart is chained to the man.
00:58:25It's like a man who lives in the world.
00:58:27It's like a man who lives with the people with the people with the people with the people.
00:58:32Thank you very much.
00:59:02Thank you very much.
00:59:32Even Elgar had some Welsh blood.
00:59:37Thank you very much.
01:00:07Bloody garden. Bloody sow-thistle. Bloody Speedwell.
01:00:15Sob this bloody garden.
01:00:17And the people before us have let it run wild.
01:00:20The sow-thistle.
01:00:22At his Speedwell.
01:00:24I'm sorry what I hear, Mrs. Arne.
01:00:28Me swearing?
01:00:29Oh no, no.
01:00:32That you can't have any children?
01:00:36You live with that.
01:00:40Can't you adopt some?
01:00:42Oh, we've been accepted on the lists.
01:00:44They just aren't the babies.
01:00:45Can a homosexual have children?
01:00:52They make very good fathers, I'm told.
01:00:54I-I want to have children.
01:00:59Well, you know what to do?
01:01:01I only hope you and your future wife will make a better chemical compound than us two.
01:01:18Oh, we got one started.
01:01:20Oh, we got one started.
01:01:21It fell out.
01:01:22My womb rejects.
01:01:24Chemical.
01:01:25Chemical.
01:01:41I'm adopted.
01:01:46I'd never have guessed that, Stephen.
01:01:50How did it feel to be adopted?
01:01:52Sort of mixed.
01:01:58Glad and sad.
01:02:01Sad, I don't know where my real-
01:02:03Where my real parents are.
01:02:07But gladder than sad.
01:02:10Like a molecule, in a way.
01:02:13Some of what goes to make me up, I know.
01:02:15But now there are unknown elements.
01:02:20Possibilities.
01:02:22That if children are placed with us, and they grow to feel like that, that will make us very happy.
01:02:29But I hope they give you lots of children, a whole tribe.
01:02:38Oh, Stephen.
01:02:43Because you're interesting people.
01:02:45Your children would have interesting lives.
01:02:47Come on, Stephen.
01:02:49Don't stand around all day.
01:02:50Your arms are one length.
01:02:52Make yourself useful.
01:02:52Just call me.
01:02:55You're so grateful.
01:03:00This is what you're doing.
01:03:02I've been just waiting for you.
01:03:04A few days.
01:03:05This is what you're doing.
01:03:06They're not even a single person.
01:03:06You're so happy!
01:03:07You're so happy!
01:03:08You're so happy!
01:03:08You're so happy!
01:03:10You're so happy!
01:03:11You're so happy!
01:03:16Yay!
01:04:16I am sorry, Mrs. Kings.
01:04:30I am sorry.
01:04:46We pray for your reunion on another shore.
01:05:04Rector, we neither of us lived in open act.
01:05:09We have our days.
01:05:12Now Izzy's over.
01:05:13Goodbye, my dear.
01:05:32I am sorry.
01:06:02I am sorry.
01:06:32Father, when you heard the call of God, was it a real voice?
01:06:54Any voice you hear is real.
01:06:57But outside your head.
01:07:00Was God's voice to you outside your head?
01:07:03No burning bush, if that's what you mean.
01:07:08Joan of Arc heard voices.
01:07:10Joan was a witch.
01:07:11The English only burned her for one because she was a patriot of France.
01:07:14An official patriot and French saint now.
01:07:20What was she?
01:07:21There is some evidence that she might even have not been Christian, but that she practiced the, what is called, the old religion, the primitive religion of the villages and fields.
01:07:36She worshipped the devil.
01:07:41Stephen, when a church, any church, goes to war against an older god, it has to call that older god, the devil.
01:07:50In her last moment, we are told, Joan screamed through the flames, to Jesus.
01:08:02Jesus, Jesus, whom did she see?
01:08:10The plaster Christ of the cathedrals, or her old elemental village god?
01:08:17The son of Adam, son of man, the torn, flayed hero, bleeding on the tree.
01:08:24The old man god, unchanging, ever-changing.
01:08:32Samson, Marduk, Jesus, Balder, Heracles, by whom this earth is haunted since the first beat of the heart of man.
01:08:43The bishop wouldn't like to hear you saying that.
01:08:47I have displeased other bishops in my time.
01:08:53The pagans practiced human sacrifice.
01:08:57Do we not?
01:08:59And their millions threw the fire to Moloch, living and dead.
01:09:04You know the old meaning of pagan, as well as I do.
01:09:08Belonging to the village?
01:09:10The village is sneered at as something petty.
01:09:13Petty it can do.
01:09:15Yet it works.
01:09:16The scale is human.
01:09:19People can relate there.
01:09:21Man may yet, in the nick of time, revolt and save himself.
01:09:26Revolt from the monolith.
01:09:28Come back to the village.
01:09:30Jesus was a revolutionary, in the most elemental sense.
01:09:41In him alone.
01:09:43In him alone, the legislator and the demon fuse.
01:09:48He has been taken over, just as Marx was taken over.
01:09:51Perverted by the Pauls, Augustins, Constantins, the institution mongers, the doctrine men.
01:10:00We crucify him over and over.
01:10:03Over and over in that church, I crucify him.
01:10:10Then why do you stay fronged?
01:10:14Because, because like all of us in this world, I am two men.
01:10:23A self and a non-self.
01:10:25Only by being non-selves can we now survive.
01:10:30In our own mortal shrouds we weave around us.
01:10:35And what shall this survival profit us?
01:10:39In this day of the mask, this day of corporation man.
01:10:42What shall the self do then, poor thing, but curl away in from the poisoning wind and dream?
01:10:52Dream of some second coming man himself must bring about.
01:10:58Through some last disobedience and new resurrection.
01:11:03Yes, there is need of a book to argue this.
01:11:15Perhaps you might give the world just such a book.
01:11:21Stephen, where fathers fail, they look to their sons to achieve.
01:11:30I'm not your chemical son, Dad.
01:11:33I wouldn't inherit your understanding.
01:11:38No knowing, son.
01:11:40What you might not inherit.
01:11:48The world would have become this present bedlam.
01:11:51Church or no.
01:11:53Yet I wonder.
01:11:55Romanticism of a sort, I know.
01:11:58And yet I wonder.
01:12:00Just as I wonder whom Joan of Arc in her last agony saw.
01:12:03I wonder about another.
01:12:07A man.
01:12:08A thousand years even earlier than she.
01:12:11King of Midland, England.
01:12:14This.
01:12:16Last of his kind.
01:12:18Last pagan king in England.
01:12:20Fighting his last battle against the new machine.
01:12:24That battle in which he is to fall.
01:12:29King Pender.
01:12:32What mystery of this land went down with him forever.
01:12:36What wisdom.
01:12:39When Pender fell,
01:12:42what dark old sun of light went out.
01:12:45King of Midland.
01:12:48Pin, Finn.
01:12:52Pin, Finn.
01:12:55King Pender's fair.
01:13:03Did Pender die here?
01:13:05Yes.
01:13:06Who says that he is dead?
01:13:36He is dead.
01:14:06He is dead.
01:14:36He is dead.
01:15:06He is dead.
01:15:36He is dead.
01:16:06He is dead.
01:16:36He is dead.
01:16:38He is dead.
01:17:08He is dead.
01:17:10He is dead.
01:17:12He is dead.
01:17:14He is dead.
01:17:16He is dead.
01:17:18He is dead.
01:17:20He is dead.
01:17:22He is dead.
01:17:24He is dead.
01:17:26He is dead.
01:17:28He is dead.
01:17:30He is dead.
01:17:32He is dead.
01:17:34He is dead.
01:17:36He is dead.
01:17:38He is dead.
01:17:40He is dead.
01:17:42He is dead.
01:17:44He is dead.
01:17:46He is dead.
01:17:48He is dead.
01:17:50He is dead.
01:17:52He is dead.
01:17:54He is dead.
01:17:56He is dead.
01:17:58He is dead.
01:18:00He is dead.
01:18:02Stephen, Stephen Franklin, and bury me, free me from this tree.
01:18:32Many of us proceed to the ancient universities, others into family businesses, others into
01:19:00the forces of the crowd, all onto the first rungs of that ladder destining us for positions
01:19:09of influence and decision-making in the ladder. Nor must we forget those somewhat more angular
01:19:19brethren amongst us, whose eyes are turned in the ceiling upon less concrete things.
01:19:28So, what more fitting valedictory than to sing together one last time what has traditionally
01:19:36become our second school song and every Englishman's alternative national hymn.
01:19:45And did those feet in ancient time walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy
01:19:58land of God on England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine shine forth upon
01:20:08our clouded hills?

01:24:56must live. Her deep dark flame must never die. Night is falling. Your land and mine goes down
01:25:06into a darkness now. And I and all the other guardians of her flame are driven from our home
01:25:14up out into the wolf's jaw. But the flame still flickers in the fen. You are marked down to cherish
01:25:25that. Cherish the flame till we can safely wake again. The flame is in your hands. We
01:25:33trust it you. Our sacred demon of ungovernableness. Cherish the flame. We shall rest easy.
01:25:44Stephen be secret. Child be strange. Dark true impure indistlement. Cherish our flame. Our dawn shall come.
01:26:14God.
