00:00:14Oh my country, I say over and over. I am one of your sons, it is true. I am. I

00:04:34Shall I show my love?
00:04:36us Protestants too perhaps even perhaps especially for those not blessed with
00:04:44the Christian faith and though it is about the judgment on one dead man it
00:04:51is surely about that other judgment that faces us daily in every moment of our
00:04:57lives over and over we come to the crisis Grantius asks shall he see God the
00:05:11angel cries with joy this soul is strong enough to look on God and stand the
00:05:18terror and the shock and so they come before the throne of God
00:05:45a terrible silence and then breaks out a brief fearful dissonance the moment of
00:05:53the glance of God surely the most shattering moment in all of music
00:06:06to hear in your head such sounds to be a man have heaven and hell between your
00:06:16ears and write them down in notes and walk those hills and hear the angel and the
00:06:26demon the judgment on those hills and hear the dissonance that is the piercing
00:07:07glance of God
00:07:09is this the day you school kids played soldiers then some of us are
00:07:14learning to defend our country I should get your anklet street then England's last
00:07:23hope I wish Joel would like me he can be so cutting
00:07:37I was wondering when you'd notice milk lad hardly original so unaware he'll grow
00:07:45through it we most of us do so totally unaware and so late what do they say here a late
00:07:55spring never lies
00:08:00verse
00:08:01and in the countenance divine shine forth the palm of the red fields and was Jerusalem filled with him the
00:08:22mountains of satanic

00:08:39ooh
00:08:40and
00:08:40ooh
00:08:41ooh
00:08:54What do them letters say?
00:08:56Those letters.
00:08:58Sufrost, you need 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?
00:09:10Time everywhere, help me the showers.
00:09:12A car in salt flakes.
00:09:14Honeybone, let there be light.
00:09:17A healthy mind in a healthy body.
00:09:20Even over the bog, look.
00:09:22Genofi seata.
00:09:24That means discover thyself.
00:09:27Uncover thy ass, more like.
00:09:29Honeybone, that'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.
00:09:40Catch something else.
00:09:43Mr. Chairman, sir.
00:09:45Gentlemen.
00:09:46Our country, England, is the freest in the world.
00:09:50We have liberty of movement, liberty of choice.
00:09:53Free 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.
00:10:05We 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?
00:10:21It calls itself, I quote, investigative 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, for which we have not
00:10:37the abstraction of freedom itself to thank, but those who exercise eternal vigilance on its behalf.
00:10:45Look 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.
00:10:53A mother and a father of England.
00:10:56England, who in this modern wilderness of amorality, stand up alone to uphold our erring national family on its Christian
00:11:02path.
00:11:09Perhaps we should let the 18th birthday pass and not tell him at all.
00:11:15Never tell him.
00:11:18It was agreed.
00:11:20In the beginning.
00:11:26Not to tell him.
00:11:29Till he was 18.
00:11:32Was agreed.
00:11:36A mistake.
00:11:39Yes.
00:11:43We should have done what we thought was right.
00:11:47Not what we agreed.
00:11:51Yes.
00:11:57With all respect to the lady who asked this, our postmistress, I hope she doesn't take this out on me
00:12:02by withholding my mail.
00:12:05You talk about strikers holding the country to ransom.
00:12:09What 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?
00:12:17And by government, I don't mean those figureheads who come pleading to us every five years to have their licenses
00:12:25renewed.
00:12:25I mean the manipulators, the fixers, the psychopaths who have real power in the land.
00:12:32Is it strikers who play Monopoly for real with 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, million after million, your taxes and mine, on bungles, deliriums and
00:12:51fantasies?
00:12:54Is it strikers who pillage our earth, ransack it, drain it dry for quick gain to hand on nothing but
00:13:01dust to the children of tomorrow?
00:13:04Now, now, come off it, Mr. Rahn.
00:13:07People were dying because of this strike.
00:13:11Pensioners, old soldiers, dying of starvation and cold.
00:13:14Yes.
00:13:17When that happens in a strike, it's cold they die of.
00:13:21When it's inflation, authorities' high hand or callousness that kill them, it's hypothermia they die of then.
00:13:29Now, you have to get this into perspective.
00:13:31Perspective, I give you.
00:13:35What, for instance, is the ultimate question a government are left with when pondering matters of defence?
00:13:43How many million civilians can we afford to let get slaughtered before the remainder revote and depose us?
00:13:52Mr. Chairman, do we have to endure this hysterical barrage?
00:13:55Each must have its say, Sir Nicholas.
00:14:00Look, not far from here is an expanse of country.
00:14:04You all know it well, Brummies drive out of a Sunday to leave their litter there.
00:14:09Poets have hymned the spirit of this landscape.
00:14:13Our greatest composer has enshrined it.
00:14:17Farmland and pasture now, an ancient fenn.
00:14:21The earth beneath your feet feels solid there.
00:14:26It is not.
00:14:28Somewhere there the land is hollow.
00:14:30Somewhere beneath is being constructed something we are not supposed to know.
00:14:36A top secret.
00:14:38We locals are not supposed to know it's even there.
00:14:42What is it, then?
00:14:43And you accept it?
00:14:45What is it, then?
00:14:48An air raid shelter to shift the population of Birmingham to in all of four minutes.
00:14:54What is it hidden beneath this shell of lovely earth?
00:14:59Some hideous angel of technocratic death.
00:15:03An alternative city for government from beneath.
00:15:07Motorways there.
00:15:10Offices, control suites, silent, empty, waiting for the day.
00:15:16Telephones, computers, signal equipment.
00:15:21Ministry pencils.
00:15:23Every grade of H&B, ready, sharpened against the minute.
00:15:27Oh, you say, it must be something to protect us.
00:15:30Us.
00:15:32When, for all we know, the likelihood is our entire civilian population is marked down on some top-secret memo
00:15:40somewhere as strategically expendable.
00:15:42When you talk of holding the country to ransom, please think of possibilities like that.
00:15:50The British working man will never let a 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, he might be another Shakespeare.
00:16:09But his imagination runs away with him.
00:16:11That part is a shocker.
00:16:15He's a terrible crank, father.
00:16:17He is a shocker.
00:16:19Tell he's not a nice man from his television plays.
00:16:22Well, can't you, mother?
00:16:24There's always somebody in them.
00:16:26Unnatural.
00:16:27I think he's unnatural himself.
00:16:31That's why he and his wife haven't been blessed with children.
00:16:37Stephen.
00:16:39It's probably a good thing.
00:16:41What?
00:16:41That they haven't any children, bringing them up with values like they have.
00:16:45God gives to whom he chooses.
00:16:47He does not make mistakes.
00:16:48Stephen, you can be grotesque.
00:17:33Have one for me while you're on my boat.
00:17:35What's that?
00:17:41What's that?
00:17:42Hey, I'm God, Barry.
00:17:44What's the matter?
00:17:45Manners!
00:17:50Oh, you're a brother.
00:17:54I'm going to have my life like that.
00:17:56I'm going to have a rock.
00:17:59Hey, what?
00:18:02I'm going to have a rock.
00:18:19Voile?
00:18:21Rot!
00:18:23Rot, Gisban!
00:18:29Rot!
00:18:46The men!
00:18:52In the fire!
00:18:53I'm sorry, Mrs Gisban, it's not possible for you to see your son.
00:18:57Nobody can see Mrs Gisban, only the doctors!
00:19:00Bart!
00:19:06Bart!
00:19:12I had a dream like that, sir. Like the Queen in the play, sir.
00:19:18About a snake, frankly.
00:19:20No, sir.
00:19:21I had a dream, sir.
00:19:23That's not a bit, sir. No doubt you had.
00:19:25Like a parable, that there was a demon on my dad's church tower, sir.
00:19:30Black and shiny, like a jet statue, looking down at me, sir.
00:19:35Then I thought, still dreaming, sir, I'll turn him to an angel.
00:19:39So I used my willpower in my dream, sir, pushed all my will up at the demon on the church,
00:19:44and turned him into a shining angel.
00:19:48Then I thought, in my dream, sir, if I can turn him one way, I can turn him back.
00:19:54So I pushed all my will, and up on the tower, the angel turned to a demon again.
00:20:02A mannequin dream, Franklin.
00:20:05Yes, sir.
00:20:06Does that mean dirty, sir?
00:20:11Oliver?
00:20:12Sir?
00:20:30It's a heresy, sir.
00:20:38A heretical belief in the early church that the universe was a battlefield between the forces of lightness and dark,
00:20:44sir.
00:20:58I only wish, Franklin, you would, now and then, transfer your mannequin impulse to the rugger field.
00:21:10Yes, sir.
00:21:12Franklin doesn't do anything for the house, sir, but he's a passenger.
00:21:15He ought to be boiled in oil.
00:21:19They're skinned first, then boiled alive.
00:21:43I say, excuse me.
00:21:47You've spelt Pinvin wrong.
00:21:49It's V, not F.
00:21:51Pin-vin.
00:21:55The police had this road blocked off this morning.
00:21:57Why 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.
00:22:19Yes.
00:22:20Pull the other one, Rector.
00:22:22There's a peel of bells on.
00:22:25You know, I was thinking the other day,
00:22:28the lonely places our technocrats choose for their obscene experiments.
00:22:35Los Alamos, for instance.
00:22:37Ah, yes.
00:22:38The birthplace of the atomic bomb.
00:22:40The ancient Indians had venerated that for centuries as sacred ground.
00:22:43Again and again.
00:22:45Everywhere you'll find these sick laboratories built on or beneath such haunted sites.
00:22:50As though thereby to bottle the primal genie of the earth and to pervert him.
00:23:02Oh, 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.
00:23:15Demons are my own.
00:23:17It's not for nothing then.
00:23:18Always around churches, ghosts and demons give the greatest trouble.
00:23:22They do say.
00:23:23Because the church gives off most powerfully the Manichean challenge.
00:23:26Some would say that the spire of a church acts as an aerial,
00:23:29attracting around it the old elemental forces of light and darkness in combat.
00:23:34Some 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, has 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.
00:24:20Put the cat down, dear. She isn't a child.
00:24:38Why is Manicheanism a heresy, Dad?
00:24:41The world is a battle ground between good and evil.
00:24:45Why is it in error to believe so?
00:24:47The Manichaeans 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
00:25:03to vanquish darkness and set light free.
00:25:08The son of light has come. His name is Jesus.
00:25:11Not to the Manichaeans.
00:25:12Jesus to them was only one of many sons of light
00:25:17in an unending succession of them
00:25:19in an unending battle
00:25:22to save man's spark of light.
00:25:28Father, do you think dreams come true?
00:25:32Don't come true.
00:25:34They are true.
00:25:36What do you mean?
00:25:38Your dream tells you a truth about yourself.
00:25:40Truth you hide from while you're awake.
00:25:44Truth you need to know about yourself.
00:25:47For your well-being.
00:25:52This buried truth comes up in your head while you're asleep.
00:25:56Rising to act itself out like a playboy.
00:26:01That's the responsibility of the dream, Stephen.
00:26:04To acknowledge that truth about yourself the dream reveals.
00:26:08Then act upon that truth.
00:26:14Believer would call such a dream
00:26:16a voice from God.
00:26:18You're a believer.
00:26:19We're believers.
00:26:21You believe in God.
00:26:24I believe in truth.
00:26:37One is a romance into faith.
00:26:38But once you're thinking about yourself,
00:26:39I probably have a Jacqui than just told you.
00:26:39I promise you, Peter.
00:26:39You can sing with God.
00:26:45A Wes?
00:26:46Aえるсь.
00:26:46A tutoring woman väem.
00:26:46A lifestyle, a tutoring man.
00:26:46A tutoring woman.
00:26:46A tutoring woman.
00:29:36Unnatural.
00:30:11Sorry, Joel.
00:30:12I thought Stephen would have come.
00:30:43Unworthy.
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.
00:30:58Find Haniban, find Franklin, will you?
00:31:02Sir.
00:31:04Find Franklin, will you? Sir.
00:31:06Find Franklin, will you? Sir.
00:31:17Discover thyself.
00:31:33Initiating him, tomorrow, and then we will.
00:31:33Don't go to health, sir.
00:31:33On and out of the world.
00:32:13So, let's go.
00:32:45So, let's go.
00:32:48So, let's go.
00:33:19And we're all day.
00:33:20Some of us has to work.
00:33:41So, now you'll renege on your military apprenticeship or so.
00:33:49What are you, Franklin?
00:33:53A non-cooperative, sir.
00:33:55And whose noble company do you now join?
00:34:01The 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.
00:34:18My 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.
00:34:31Your 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.
00:34:55I doubt you think me a very peculiar sort of chap.
00:34:58Not at all, sir.
00:35:01I have always looked up to you as an English norm, sir.
00:35:14You're the only boy in my house I still cannot recommend for the sixth form club.
00:35:21Doesn't that pain you?
00:35:27If that's how you feel, Mr. Cook.
00:35:32Sir?
00:35:34Sir?
00:35:52Sir?
00:36:10Sir?
00:36:11Sir?
00:36:12Sir?
00:36:12Sir?
00:36:12Sir?
00:36:12Sir?
00:36:12Sir?
00:36:13Sir?
00:36:13Sir?
00:36:13Sir?
00:36:14Sir?
00:36:18Sir?
00:36:32I don't know.
00:39:12You all right, squire?
00:39:14You all right?
00:39:21You all right?
00:39:22I'm charging down that hill right into me.
00:39:25Hey, sorry.
00:39:32Just to help you up.
00:39:34That's all.
00:39:50That's all.
00:39:55That's all.
00:39:57I'm all right, dove.
00:39:59I ain't killed him.
00:40:00I'm all right.
00:40:02He'll get over her.
00:40:33I'm going to say, man.
00:40:34I'm here.
00:40:34I'm going to do it.
00:40:40I'm just letting you.
00:40:44I'm going to do it.
00:40:48I'm going to do it.
00:40:52Cool.
00:40:55There you are.
00:41:26There you are.
00:41:56And reconstruct whatever political doctrinal purpose the tamperers were bending the gospel to serve, unearth from this fabrication the troubling
00:42:11historical and spiritual reality of Christ himself?
00:42:23To the reader who shouts blasphemy, I say blasphemy worse, that the name of this life-enhancing revolutionary Jesus should
00:42:35now be dangled like a halo above a sick culture centered on authority and death.
00:42:41There you are.
00:43:11Oh, well, only if you've finished with it.
00:43:14I've got what I needed. I should have one of my own. Buying is one of those simple jobs that
00:43:19never get done.
00:43:21Oh, well, only if you've finished with it.
00:43:38I'll be right back.
00:43:40I'll be right back.
00:43:43I'll be right back.
00:43:46I'll be right back.
00:44:02I'll be right back.
00:44:02I'll be right back.
00:44:27I'll be right back.
00:44:27I'll be right back.
00:44:30I'll be right back.
00:44:30look-alike. My husband's what people call a paranoid, a persecuting maniac. That's
00:44:36right. The trouble is, his twisted notions usually prove true. There's one hope for
00:44:42man only. When a great concrete megacity chokes the globe from pole to pole, it
00:44:49shall already have, bedded in some hidden crack, the sacred seed of its own
00:44:53disintegration and collapse. Disobedience, chaos, out of those alone
00:45:00can some new experiment in human living be born.
00:45:09Fear am I subverting you. Your father will be horrified.
00:45:19I don't know.
00:45:31Fear am I subverting you. Your father will be horrified. I would go to the
00:45:51Fear am I subverting you. Your father will be horrified.
00:45:54Fear am I subverting you.
00:45:55Fear am I subverting you.
00:46:02There it must have, as you say, our Stephen was trapped in his corporal's
00:46:29uniform and all that it stood for.
00:46:42I can only assume that he is now hiding some other cause in which to invest his national pride.
00:47:11Well, I can only assume it's because you hanker suddenly to join what I term your generation's underside.
00:47:20You've never wholeheartedly subscribed, have you, Franklin, to the traditions of the school?
00:47:29Consider the photographs. It's fashionable now to mock such men as these, but their service to England and man is
00:47:39sterling and true.
00:47:41When the roll of honour is called of the sons of England, who should be honoured? You or these?
00:47:49You or these?
00:48:17You or these?
00:48:18Thank you very much.
00:49:11Oh.
00:49:42Sir Edward?
00:49:59Holy, strong, but come to judge me, from the depths I pray to thee.
00:50:11Where did I pluck the sublimity of that?
00:50:14From the angels, from the air, from a dog, and his owner refused to give him a bone.
00:50:27I guarantee his transcendental deathbed cry, I use it from the whine of a dog for his bone.
00:50:39For my 70th birthday, they gave me a dinner.
00:50:47And afterwards, at my house, they made music for me.
00:50:55I lived in that empty house for so long that they wanted to give me company, music, be kind.
00:51:05A young girl sang for me.
00:51:10Oh, so nervous, so nervous.
00:51:14She'd practiced her song all day long for me.
00:51:20It was a song of mine, you see.
00:51:24I stood up, quaking, I, I, my hand was, fist was raised, my brow was thunder.
00:51:34I, stop, stop, stop, stop, you ruined my birthday.
00:51:44He busted her tears and ran from the house and never sang a note again.
00:51:52Because, you see, that song was written for my wife, you see.
00:52:05My wife, so long ago.
00:52:26One day, when I was very old, the surgeons cut half my rotten stomach out.
00:52:37No anaesthetic. Shock was too much for the old heart.
00:52:46They anaesthetised the stomach only.
00:52:50There was a tiny curtain so that I couldn't see them cutting me.
00:52:58There was a mirror in the ceiling. They'd forgotten about that.
00:53:04I lay down and watched in the mirror above me everything the surgeon did.
00:53:12His knife butchering and bowling me alive.
00:53:18My vitals, my sustaining blood, is all that alcohol.
00:53:31Very interesting.
00:53:37Have they cracked the enigma yet?
00:53:41My secret, the, the famous tune that fits with my, my enigma theme.
00:53:49Has anyone identified it yet?
00:53:53Oh, oh, that, sir.
00:53:55Well, they have tried combining your theme with all sorts of tunes.
00:53:59Auld Lang Syne in the minor, even God Save the King.
00:54:03None of the combinations is really convincing.
00:54:06The tune that fits is under all their noses.
00:54:10But they won't spot it.
00:54:12Because, you see, they have no demon for counterpoint.
00:54:20Shall I tell you what it is?
00:54:23Yes, come here.
00:54:24All right.
00:54:29That, sir.
00:54:31That.
00:54:32Sing it.
00:54:33Hear how my tune combines with that.
00:54:39Bump.
00:54:40Now, shh, shh, shh.
00:54:42You're like one of the lunatics from the asylum where I taught.
00:54:46In your head, boy.
00:54:48Do you want all the world to know?
00:54:50Sing 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?
00:55:05Da-da-dee-dum-bum.
00:55:08Da-dee-da-da-dum-dee-dum-bum.
00:55:14Da-dee-dum-da-da-dee-da-da-dee-da-da-da-dee-da-da-da-da-da.
00:55:22So, tell no one.
00:55:25Stephen?
00:55:26Nobody.
00:55:26It's a secret between the hills yourself and me.
00:55:34Tell the grave, sir.
00:55:37The grave.
00:55:39Ah, yes.
00:55:46If 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.
00:56:01I come back to look at the world, you see, the lovely world.
00:56:08The silver river, the very beautiful world.
00:56:18Look, look, beautiful world.
00:56:37The silver river.
00:57:37I'll never get into university.
00:57:41Finish up on a conveyor belt.
00:57:45Don't you sneer, Stephen.
00:57:49A 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.
00:58:03It 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.
00:58:14I've seen it.
00:58:16All day long, the ambulance is here and never still.
00:59:16you see you were like the English language Stephen you have foreign parents
00:59:29do even even Elgar had some Welsh blood
01:00:03bloody garden never get on top of this bloody garden bloody south thistle bloody speed well

01:00:51homosexual have children they make very good fathers I'm told I I want to have children well

01:02:35but I hope they give you lots of children a whole tribe Stephen
