2
00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:00,179
Sir? Where are you going?
Up the line to find a friend.

3
00:02:00,219 --> 00:02:02,281
If I'm not back, you know
where to send my things.

4
00:02:02,321 --> 00:02:04,116
Well, wait...

5
00:02:04,156 --> 00:02:05,323
Sir, wait!

6
00:02:05,363 --> 00:02:06,985
Tolkien, sir!

7
00:02:07,025 --> 00:02:08,791
Sir, please don't do this.
You need to rest.

8
00:02:08,831 --> 00:02:10,315
No, I'm fine.

9
00:02:10,355 --> 00:02:12,763
Go back to barracks
and wait for me there.

10
00:02:12,803 --> 00:02:14,530
Sir, you really need
to lay down.

11
00:02:14,570 --> 00:02:16,838
The doctor said that the fever
might get worse.

12
00:02:16,878 --> 00:02:18,921
- I really don't think...
- Look, Hodges, stay here.

13
00:02:18,961 --> 00:02:21,512
That's an order.

14
00:02:21,552 --> 00:02:25,056
Cover your face, sir!
Keep down!

15
00:02:34,544 --> 00:02:36,847
That water was cold.

16
00:02:38,198 --> 00:02:40,599
You need to
keep yourself warm, sir.

17
00:02:40,655 --> 00:02:43,422
It's a long journey
to the front.

18
00:02:46,899 --> 00:02:49,538
I don't think the night
will treat us well, sir.

19
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,315
Fight, men!

20
00:03:09,355 --> 00:03:10,949
There's too many of them!

21
00:03:10,989 --> 00:03:12,851
We need reinforcements!

22
00:03:12,891 --> 00:03:15,795
Take the banner!

23
00:03:16,795 --> 00:03:19,058
Yes, I have the banner!

24
00:03:19,098 --> 00:03:22,641
Stop them!
He's getting away!

25
00:03:30,641 --> 00:03:32,545
Where's Tolkien?

26
00:03:33,545 --> 00:03:36,725
- Where is he?
- Tolkien!

27
00:03:48,860 --> 00:03:50,689
I prayed
for a strong pack mule

28
00:03:50,729 --> 00:03:52,491
to help carry boxes, and look,

29
00:03:52,531 --> 00:03:56,103
my prayers have been answered.

30
00:03:57,103 --> 00:03:58,163
Where are we going?

31
00:03:58,203 --> 00:03:59,932
Birmingham. I need you to go
to your room and pack.

32
00:03:59,972 --> 00:04:02,601
- What? Why?
- Because I said so.

33
00:04:02,641 --> 00:04:04,869
Because Father Francis
has found us some rooms.

34
00:04:04,909 --> 00:04:06,404
He's been very generous.

35
00:04:06,444 --> 00:04:07,873
Find a box
and collect your things.

36
00:04:07,913 --> 00:04:10,084
I don't want to go
to Birmingham.

37
00:04:10,124 --> 00:04:12,697
Listen, both of you.

38
00:04:12,737 --> 00:04:14,828
We...

39
00:04:22,828 --> 00:04:24,965
Come here, Hilary.

40
00:04:28,612 --> 00:04:31,764
Boys, we are going
to face some difficult times,

41
00:04:31,804 --> 00:04:35,227
and we are fortunate to have
the church to support us.

42
00:04:35,267 --> 00:04:37,134
With your father gone...

43
00:04:37,174 --> 00:04:39,284
Ronald.

44
00:04:49,976 --> 00:04:52,243
Ronald!

45
00:05:05,236 --> 00:05:09,291
"Ubi bene ibi patria."
Remember that, my darling?

46
00:05:11,609 --> 00:05:15,307
Wherever you feel happy,
that's your home.

47
00:05:15,347 --> 00:05:19,152
We will find our place,
sweetheart, we will.

48
00:05:20,152 --> 00:05:22,764
Lock all this
all in your heart.

49
00:05:22,804 --> 00:05:26,919
Lock it tight, and it will be
there forever, I promise.

50
00:05:38,036 --> 00:05:41,907
Boys, listen to me.

51
00:05:42,907 --> 00:05:47,178
Do you know what impecunious
circumstances are?

52
00:05:47,424 --> 00:05:48,934
They're what we're in?

53
00:05:48,974 --> 00:05:52,744
When I was a little girl,
all the new novels began like this.

54
00:05:52,784 --> 00:05:55,616
A family of good
and brave people

55
00:05:55,656 --> 00:05:59,388
who suddenly find themselves
in impecunious circumstances.

56
00:05:59,428 --> 00:06:01,186
How did they escape?

57
00:06:01,226 --> 00:06:04,855
By coming across
some marvelous treasure.

58
00:06:04,895 --> 00:06:07,087
Or else by marrying well.

59
00:06:07,127 --> 00:06:08,919
I'm not marrying anyone.

60
00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:11,362
Well, it will have to be
the treasure then, won't it?

61
00:06:11,402 --> 00:06:13,799
But, people don't
find treasure, Mother.

62
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,266
Not in real life.

63
00:06:15,306 --> 00:06:18,645
There's no fooling you,
is there, John Ronald?

64
00:06:20,457 --> 00:06:22,975
Let's just say
there's treasure...

65
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:25,268
and there's treasure.

66
00:06:25,524 --> 00:06:27,979
And leave it at that.

67
00:06:36,727 --> 00:06:39,304
Let us begin, Ronald.

68
00:06:46,304 --> 00:06:50,739
The earth began to shake
with the weight of the dragon

69
00:06:50,779 --> 00:06:53,872
as he crawled to the water,

70
00:06:53,912 --> 00:06:59,903
and a cloud of venom flew before him
as he snorted and roared!

71
00:06:59,943 --> 00:07:05,092
But Sigurd waited till the dragon
had crawled over the pit...

72
00:07:05,398 --> 00:07:07,218
and then he thrust
his sword,

73
00:07:07,258 --> 00:07:10,688
Under his left shoulder
and right into his heart.

74
00:07:10,728 --> 00:07:17,828
The dragon lashed his tail till stones
broke and trees crashed about him.

75
00:07:17,868 --> 00:07:22,029
And then he spoke, as he died,
and said,

76
00:07:22,069 --> 00:07:23,925
"Whoever thou art..."

77
00:07:23,965 --> 00:07:26,781
that hast slain me...

78
00:07:27,093 --> 00:07:29,494
this gold shall be thy ruin..

79
00:07:29,534 --> 00:07:32,744
"And the ruin of all who own it."

80
00:07:32,784 --> 00:07:34,879
Sigurd said,

81
00:07:34,919 --> 00:07:36,280
"I would touch none of it,"

82
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,550
if even by losing it,
I should never die.

83
00:07:39,590 --> 00:07:41,027
But all men die,

84
00:07:41,067 --> 00:07:47,307
"and no brave man lets death
frighten him from his desire."

85
00:07:47,514 --> 00:07:51,046
Do you know
how ridiculous you sound?

86
00:07:51,086 --> 00:07:52,158
Oh, really?

87
00:07:52,198 --> 00:07:54,667
I'm even funnier in Latin.

88
00:07:55,561 --> 00:07:57,180
Do you know what that means?

89
00:07:57,220 --> 00:07:59,049
An insignificant wart.

90
00:07:59,089 --> 00:08:00,056
No.

91
00:08:00,096 --> 00:08:03,476
I believe you now sound
like a drunken peacock,

92
00:08:03,516 --> 00:08:06,050
you duffer.

93
00:08:06,316 --> 00:08:10,356
Hello, Mother. Did you get my stamps?
Hello, Mother.

94
00:08:12,449 --> 00:08:14,985
Where did you put them?

95
00:08:43,188 --> 00:08:44,898
Sir?

96
00:08:44,938 --> 00:08:47,616
I'm going to
have to keep going.

97
00:08:56,607 --> 00:08:59,844
Sir, gas.

98
00:09:33,270 --> 00:09:36,775
I'm intrigued to see the boys.

99
00:09:42,981 --> 00:09:46,119
Well, boys, I was right.

100
00:09:47,564 --> 00:09:51,383
She's an enormous beast,
with great scaly feet,

101
00:09:51,423 --> 00:09:54,853
and the most prominent
pair of tusks I've ever seen.

102
00:09:54,893 --> 00:10:00,097
She's chewing, on what I can only
assume is the femur of a small boy.

103
00:10:03,379 --> 00:10:06,808
On the other hand,
there is cake.

104
00:10:09,674 --> 00:10:12,894
King Edward's?
That's a very good school.

105
00:10:12,934 --> 00:10:15,732
Well, they're very
bright boys, Mrs. Faulkner.

106
00:10:15,772 --> 00:10:17,076
Very diligent.

107
00:10:17,116 --> 00:10:19,244
After Africa, their mother
home-schooled them,

108
00:10:19,284 --> 00:10:21,245
and they are now fluent
in many languages.

109
00:10:21,285 --> 00:10:23,790
Yes, but I mean socially.

110
00:10:23,830 --> 00:10:28,753
You boys will be mixing with the cream
of Birmingham's bonnes familles.

111
00:10:28,793 --> 00:10:31,684
And quite a change from
Africa, I shouldn't wonder.

112
00:10:31,724 --> 00:10:33,557
They've been living in England,

113
00:10:33,597 --> 00:10:35,886
far longer than they ever were
in Bloemfontein.

114
00:10:35,926 --> 00:10:37,246
Isn't that right, boys?

115
00:10:37,286 --> 00:10:40,693
Yes, we hardly ever carry
our spears anymore.

116
00:10:43,611 --> 00:10:45,537
Been difficult to place,
have they?

117
00:10:45,577 --> 00:10:48,374
They've had one or two
temporary homes.

118
00:10:48,414 --> 00:10:51,214
What they need, of course,
is the civilizing influence,

119
00:10:51,254 --> 00:10:55,077
of a stable
and refined environment.

120
00:10:55,117 --> 00:10:56,931
Such as yours, Mrs. Faulkner.

121
00:10:56,971 --> 00:10:59,924
If I have a fault,
it's that I am...

122
00:10:59,964 --> 00:11:02,298
too generous
with my young lodgers.

123
00:11:02,338 --> 00:11:03,746
Too attached.

124
00:11:03,786 --> 00:11:06,709
Edith, another orphan...

125
00:11:06,749 --> 00:11:10,736
is like a child of my own.

126
00:12:18,430 --> 00:12:21,006
Stand up, the new man.

127
00:12:22,006 --> 00:12:24,544
Tol-Kine.

128
00:12:26,544 --> 00:12:28,785
It's Keen, sir.

129
00:12:34,843 --> 00:12:35,746
What?

130
00:12:35,786 --> 00:12:39,597
It's pronounced Tolkeen, sir.
Not Tol-Kine.

131
00:12:39,637 --> 00:12:41,773
Sorry.

132
00:12:42,413 --> 00:12:44,485
Sit down.

133
00:12:48,603 --> 00:12:51,503
As we are so sensitive...

134
00:12:51,543 --> 00:12:55,133
about pronunciation this morning,
perhaps you could all be so good,

135
00:12:55,173 --> 00:12:57,701
as to take out our Chaucers.

136
00:12:57,741 --> 00:13:02,820
Mr. Tol-Keen can keep up
as best he can.

137
00:13:02,860 --> 00:13:05,454
Mackintosh. Begin.

138
00:13:11,329 --> 00:13:14,624
Oh, for heaven's
sake. Goodson-Thomas.

139
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:19,965
Wiseman.

140
00:13:28,536 --> 00:13:31,746
Mr. Tol-Keen.

141
00:14:17,754 --> 00:14:20,689
Pass to Tolkien.
Out wide!

142
00:14:30,705 --> 00:14:32,905
Moron!

143
00:14:37,981 --> 00:14:39,303
Don't speak.

144
00:14:39,343 --> 00:14:41,112
Don't say a single word.

145
00:14:41,152 --> 00:14:43,206
What if he asks me a question?

146
00:14:43,246 --> 00:14:45,142
He won't.

147
00:14:45,182 --> 00:14:47,964
He's not interested in you.

148
00:14:48,004 --> 00:14:50,747
Come.

149
00:14:58,896 --> 00:15:01,493
Is it that you believe
I have nothing better to do,

150
00:15:01,533 --> 00:15:03,226
than arbitrate
in your quarrels?

151
00:15:03,266 --> 00:15:05,227
No, sir. Absolutely not.

152
00:15:05,267 --> 00:15:09,233
Collegiate relationships
are the cornerstone of learning.

153
00:15:09,273 --> 00:15:11,369
Isn't that what we say
at King Edward's?

154
00:15:11,409 --> 00:15:14,914
Headmaster, with respect,
Gilson and I were just playing rugby.

155
00:15:14,954 --> 00:15:19,136
A little forcefully,
I admit, but...

156
00:15:29,175 --> 00:15:30,972
Men should be comrades.

157
00:15:31,012 --> 00:15:32,855
Wherever they come from.

158
00:15:32,895 --> 00:15:36,736
From the highest,
to the lowest.

159
00:15:37,736 --> 00:15:40,632
- You and Master...
- Tolkien.

160
00:15:40,672 --> 00:15:43,701
Will demonstrate this
to the rest of the school.

161
00:15:43,741 --> 00:15:46,979
You will do everything together
for the rest of the term.

162
00:15:47,019 --> 00:15:50,091
- But, sir...
- Everything.

163
00:15:51,427 --> 00:15:52,878
Yes, sir.

164
00:15:52,918 --> 00:15:55,395
He's made us liegemen.
Isn't that a little excessive?

165
00:15:55,435 --> 00:15:58,515
It's an impossible standard.
It's designed to humiliate me.

166
00:15:58,555 --> 00:16:00,957
- Doesn't it also humiliate me?
- You're irrelevant.

167
00:16:00,997 --> 00:16:03,535
Why do you keep on saying that?
Because it's true. No, listen.

168
00:16:03,575 --> 00:16:06,258
I may not come from a respectable
background... It's not that, you idiot.

169
00:16:06,298 --> 00:16:09,326
You're irrelevant to the headmaster.
And you're not? No.

170
00:16:09,366 --> 00:16:12,297
Oh, because you're special.

171
00:16:12,337 --> 00:16:14,668
Because I'm his son.

172
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,809
Oh, please don't stop, Edith.

173
00:17:42,025 --> 00:17:44,135
Christopher, darling.
Gilson.

174
00:17:44,175 --> 00:17:45,752
Christopher, sit still.

175
00:17:45,792 --> 00:17:48,092
- Gilson, don't be absurd.
- Christopher. Sit down.

176
00:17:48,132 --> 00:17:49,828
- Stop!
- Chris, sit down.

177
00:17:49,868 --> 00:17:54,336
We're in a library.
Christopher, sit down. What?

178
00:18:05,588 --> 00:18:07,859
We're going to take some tea.

179
00:18:07,899 --> 00:18:09,347
- So?
- So...

180
00:18:09,387 --> 00:18:11,582
I suppose as we're meant to be
doing everything together,

181
00:18:11,622 --> 00:18:15,096
I'll stay where I am, thank you.
Suit yourself.

182
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,835
He didn't want to come.

183
00:18:36,714 --> 00:18:40,078
What Robert meant to say
is that,

184
00:18:40,118 --> 00:18:43,018
with a little encouragement
from his friends,

185
00:18:43,058 --> 00:18:45,146
he has now acknowledged
that this punishment,

186
00:18:45,186 --> 00:18:47,052
Was his fault
rather than yours,

187
00:18:47,092 --> 00:18:50,722
and he'd like to make amends,
by inviting you to tea.

188
00:18:50,762 --> 00:18:52,622
You should be flattered,
really.

189
00:18:52,662 --> 00:18:55,726
It was your cleverness
that rattled him.

190
00:18:55,766 --> 00:18:58,963
It would rattle you too if only you
had a father like Gilson.

191
00:18:59,003 --> 00:19:02,917
His marks only have to drop
below one other boy in the year...

192
00:19:02,957 --> 00:19:05,445
It's no excuse, but...

193
00:19:07,301 --> 00:19:08,805
Oh, come on.

194
00:19:08,845 --> 00:19:11,230
It's a lot more fun than sitting
around with a load of old books.

195
00:19:11,270 --> 00:19:13,378
I like books.

196
00:19:13,418 --> 00:19:15,721
So do we.

197
00:19:17,721 --> 00:19:20,674
Geoffrey Bache Smith.

198
00:19:20,714 --> 00:19:23,518
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien.

199
00:19:23,628 --> 00:19:25,636
Gentlemen. A thought.
Tolkien.

200
00:19:25,676 --> 00:19:27,503
Imagine walking
into Barrow's Stores,

201
00:19:27,543 --> 00:19:29,694
and finding me, guarding the
door with a very big stick...

202
00:19:29,734 --> 00:19:30,917
Where is this going?

203
00:19:30,957 --> 00:19:32,886
And I said, there's no need
to eat the cakes here.

204
00:19:32,926 --> 00:19:33,898
I've done it.

205
00:19:33,938 --> 00:19:35,866
In fact, I did it so much
it made me sick...

206
00:19:35,906 --> 00:19:37,601
That is the nature
of parental authority.

207
00:19:37,641 --> 00:19:39,536
"I've done it.
I've decided it was bad.

208
00:19:39,576 --> 00:19:41,104
And now I'm going to stop you
from doing it."

209
00:19:41,144 --> 00:19:43,041
- Cakes in this case being...
- Everything.

210
00:19:43,081 --> 00:19:45,167
- Everything that's good.
- Right.

211
00:19:45,207 --> 00:19:48,678
Tolkien, this is Barrow's.
Our kingdom,

212
00:19:48,718 --> 00:19:51,567
and the best tea in town.

213
00:20:01,399 --> 00:20:03,628
- Another pot of tea?
- Thank you.

214
00:20:03,668 --> 00:20:05,295
And what do you have
that's under a shilling?

215
00:20:05,335 --> 00:20:06,300
And isn't toast.

216
00:20:06,340 --> 00:20:08,532
- Bath buns are four pence.
- Good. A bath bun, please.

217
00:20:08,572 --> 00:20:10,767
- And three forks.
- Four.

218
00:20:10,807 --> 00:20:12,659
And what about the stick?
The stick?

219
00:20:12,699 --> 00:20:14,738
My father
is a perfect example.

220
00:20:14,778 --> 00:20:16,573
He knows about music.
He loves it.

221
00:20:16,613 --> 00:20:19,342
He spent the greater part of his youth
studying and composing music.

222
00:20:19,382 --> 00:20:21,979
Christopher has had several
musical pieces published.

223
00:20:22,019 --> 00:20:24,191
Not several. One.
Pass me the sugar.

224
00:20:24,231 --> 00:20:27,150
And yet when it comes to pursuing
a life as a composer...

225
00:20:27,190 --> 00:20:29,654
No.
"Musical dreams are a fantasy."

226
00:20:29,694 --> 00:20:31,551
You will do as I did.
You will put them aside."

227
00:20:31,591 --> 00:20:34,027
And where does
the stick come in?

228
00:20:34,067 --> 00:20:36,060
The stick was a metaphor.
Move on from the stick.

229
00:20:36,100 --> 00:20:37,990
My mother's exactly the same.

230
00:20:38,030 --> 00:20:40,902
She values poetry.
She loves it.

231
00:20:40,942 --> 00:20:44,129
She refuses to see it
as a potential career.

232
00:20:44,169 --> 00:20:47,925
She sees me as...
a lawyer or an accountant.

233
00:20:47,965 --> 00:20:49,654
Does she carry a stick?

234
00:20:49,694 --> 00:20:52,399
I'm gonna go outside and fetch
a stick, how about that?

235
00:20:52,439 --> 00:20:53,477
Thank you.

236
00:20:53,517 --> 00:20:55,411
Well, at least
your parents discuss it.

237
00:20:55,451 --> 00:20:58,471
If I even mentioned becoming
a painter, I'd be disowned.

238
00:20:58,511 --> 00:21:00,717
- No. I'd be decapitated.
- There!

239
00:21:00,757 --> 00:21:03,382
That's the stick.

240
00:21:25,382 --> 00:21:27,865
I didn't even eat the cake
that they ordered.

241
00:21:27,905 --> 00:21:29,879
Why not?

242
00:21:29,919 --> 00:21:32,681
I wasn't sure
I had enough money.

243
00:21:33,716 --> 00:21:36,100
But this is sweet.

244
00:21:39,420 --> 00:21:41,102
What about you?

245
00:21:41,142 --> 00:21:42,927
What about me?

246
00:21:42,967 --> 00:21:46,059
There must be something
that you want?

247
00:21:46,099 --> 00:21:48,234
To get out of here.

248
00:21:48,773 --> 00:21:50,667
To be free.

249
00:21:50,707 --> 00:21:54,705
I would go somewhere where
I wouldn't feel like a poor orphan

250
00:21:54,745 --> 00:21:59,843
and... everybody would be
dressed like kings and queens.

251
00:21:59,883 --> 00:22:02,255
I wouldn't be there
to play piano.

252
00:22:02,295 --> 00:22:05,890
Or to carry
Mrs. Faulkner's purse.

253
00:22:05,930 --> 00:22:09,867
I'd be... greeted and...

254
00:22:10,070 --> 00:22:12,063
appreciated.

255
00:22:12,103 --> 00:22:14,172
Welcomed.

256
00:22:15,001 --> 00:22:18,083
Welcomed.

257
00:22:39,639 --> 00:22:42,078
Go back to barracks, Hodges.

258
00:22:48,696 --> 00:22:52,943
Lieutenant Geoffrey Smith
is a friend.

259
00:22:53,521 --> 00:22:56,925
His mother...

260
00:22:58,074 --> 00:23:00,261
His mother wrote to me. She...

261
00:23:00,301 --> 00:23:03,200
She hasn't heard
from him in weeks.

262
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,779
And he's not responded
to my letters.

263
00:23:08,475 --> 00:23:10,712
I'm worried he might be...

264
00:23:13,923 --> 00:23:17,443
I need to know he's all right.

265
00:23:17,734 --> 00:23:20,600
It really has
nothing to do with you.

266
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,625
He must be a very good friend,
is he, sir?

267
00:23:23,665 --> 00:23:25,849
He's the best.

268
00:23:27,469 --> 00:23:30,115
He'd do the same for me.

269
00:23:37,693 --> 00:23:39,312
Well,
if we're halfway there,

270
00:23:39,352 --> 00:23:41,913
Turning back won't take any longer
than carrying on, will it?

271
00:23:41,953 --> 00:23:43,081
Hodges, please.

272
00:23:43,121 --> 00:23:46,193
Perfectly frank, sir, by the look
on you, if I don't come along,

273
00:23:46,233 --> 00:23:50,046
you're not gonna find this
Lieutenant Geoffrey Smith, anyway.

274
00:23:53,159 --> 00:23:56,726
Let me see if I can find
some medicine for you, sir.

275
00:24:07,497 --> 00:24:12,919
Geoffrey, are you trying to trap
my bishop, you scoundrel?

276
00:24:14,801 --> 00:24:16,979
Gentlemen. A thought.

277
00:24:17,019 --> 00:24:19,817
You know what the trouble is with
all these legends Tolkien reads?

278
00:24:19,857 --> 00:24:22,084
Enlighten me, Robbie.
They don't have any women in them.

279
00:24:22,124 --> 00:24:25,621
I'm not talking about pale,
shivering maidens sitting in towers.

280
00:24:25,661 --> 00:24:27,607
I'm talking about
plump, red-blooded women.

281
00:24:27,647 --> 00:24:30,131
- Could you sit down, please?
- The women of Southern Europe.

282
00:24:30,171 --> 00:24:32,597
Women with large flagons
of wine on their heads.

283
00:24:32,637 --> 00:24:35,162
Robbie, are you incapable
of sitting in silence?

284
00:24:35,202 --> 00:24:37,333
Like our waitress,
just over there.

285
00:24:37,373 --> 00:24:38,606
Oh, for God's sake.

286
00:24:38,646 --> 00:24:41,485
Robbie, if I lose this game
because of your endless prattle...

287
00:24:41,525 --> 00:24:43,600
You will lose this game
because of me.

288
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,363
What are you reading now?
I'm reading about the realm of the dead.

289
00:24:46,403 --> 00:24:48,279
Or at least trying to.

290
00:24:48,319 --> 00:24:49,312
See what I mean?

291
00:24:49,352 --> 00:24:52,523
Presided over by
a giant woman, as it happens.

292
00:24:52,563 --> 00:24:56,420
Hel, a huge
and ruthless goddess.

293
00:24:56,460 --> 00:24:58,089
Is that not red-blooded enough
for you?

294
00:24:58,129 --> 00:25:00,135
It is our waitress.

295
00:25:00,175 --> 00:25:01,098
Hel?

296
00:25:01,138 --> 00:25:03,987
Yes, she rules over the realm
of the dead. Helheimr.

297
00:25:04,027 --> 00:25:07,884
It's a place where warriors are sent
if they die in the wrong way.

298
00:25:07,924 --> 00:25:10,495
- What's the wrong way?
- Peacefully.

299
00:25:10,535 --> 00:25:12,869
Illness, old age.

300
00:25:12,909 --> 00:25:15,706
Anything other than battle.
Now, that's an idea I can get behind.

301
00:25:15,746 --> 00:25:17,975
I'm sorry, you're getting
behind dying in battle now?

302
00:25:18,015 --> 00:25:19,075
Not literally.

303
00:25:19,115 --> 00:25:23,203
I can die in any way the Fates
choose, that's not up to me.

304
00:25:23,243 --> 00:25:26,758
But what is within my power
is to decide how I live.

305
00:25:26,798 --> 00:25:29,751
Courageously or timidly.

306
00:25:29,791 --> 00:25:31,753
Helheimr! It should be
our warning. Our challenge.

307
00:25:31,793 --> 00:25:34,292
Yes, I know. But you should
learn how to pronounce it first.

308
00:25:34,332 --> 00:25:36,961
Come on. Challenge me.
Set me a quest.

309
00:25:37,001 --> 00:25:40,384
I'll show you how to avoid Helheimr.
I challenge you to...

310
00:25:40,424 --> 00:25:42,703
Sit in silence for 25 minutes.

311
00:25:42,743 --> 00:25:44,967
Shut up, Geoffrey.
I'm serious.

312
00:25:45,007 --> 00:25:46,169
Propose to the waitress.

313
00:25:46,209 --> 00:25:48,780
Christopher.
What?

314
00:25:49,632 --> 00:25:50,893
An excellent idea.

315
00:25:50,933 --> 00:25:52,629
Robbie, don't you dare
do anything of the kind.

316
00:25:52,669 --> 00:25:55,676
That's what I call
a quest against Helheimr.

317
00:25:58,622 --> 00:26:00,624
Helheimr!

318
00:26:01,624 --> 00:26:06,255
Madam. My lady of the lake,
the bearer of my dreams.

319
00:26:06,295 --> 00:26:08,308
Would you do me
the greatest honor,

320
00:26:08,348 --> 00:26:11,895
sharing an infinite future
with me...

321
00:26:23,605 --> 00:26:25,384
We should form a club.

322
00:26:25,424 --> 00:26:27,312
- What?
- A brotherhood.

323
00:26:27,352 --> 00:26:29,914
Aren't we already a club?
A tea drinking club?

324
00:26:29,954 --> 00:26:32,817
A tea drinking club, sounds like
something my stepmother would go to.

325
00:26:32,857 --> 00:26:33,923
The Tea Club.

326
00:26:33,963 --> 00:26:36,574
It doesn't sound any better
just because you repeated it.

327
00:26:36,614 --> 00:26:40,090
The Birmingham Boys.
That sounds like a circus act.

328
00:26:40,130 --> 00:26:43,476
The Boys of Barrow's Stores.

329
00:26:43,516 --> 00:26:45,953
Barrovians.

330
00:26:46,203 --> 00:26:49,131
The Tea Club
and Barrovian Society.

331
00:26:49,171 --> 00:26:50,641
I think that's far too long.

332
00:26:50,681 --> 00:26:53,180
The T. C. B. S.
The T. C. B. S.

333
00:26:53,220 --> 00:26:54,971
Are you sure that doesn't
sound like a disease?

334
00:26:55,011 --> 00:26:56,607
No, listen, I don't care
what it's called.

335
00:26:56,647 --> 00:26:58,609
As long as we pledge
our loyalty to each other.

336
00:26:58,649 --> 00:26:59,644
Exactly.

337
00:26:59,684 --> 00:27:01,911
T. C. B. S. That's settled.
Now what do we do?

338
00:27:01,951 --> 00:27:04,548
We change the world.
Oh, good. Something simple.

339
00:27:04,588 --> 00:27:08,900
Through art, you clown.
Through the power of art.

340
00:27:16,712 --> 00:27:18,571
Brothers...

341
00:27:18,611 --> 00:27:22,713
will you join your comrades in this
act of changing the world?

342
00:27:29,494 --> 00:27:30,755
- We will.
- We will.

343
00:27:30,795 --> 00:27:32,542
Helheimr!

344
00:27:32,582 --> 00:27:34,945
- Helheimr!
- Helheimr!

345
00:27:34,985 --> 00:27:37,508
Helheimr!

346
00:27:59,508 --> 00:28:01,170
"Not for us, I reckon,"

347
00:28:01,210 --> 00:28:03,440
to follow the wolves,
to fight amongst each other

348
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,309
"like the cubs
the Fates rear ravenous..."

349
00:28:05,349 --> 00:28:06,542
"...the Norns came,"

350
00:28:06,582 --> 00:28:08,678
to shape out fate
for that kingling.

351
00:28:08,718 --> 00:28:11,081
They said he'd be the fighter
most famed,

352
00:28:11,121 --> 00:28:13,496
and be reckoned
the best of princelings.

353
00:28:13,536 --> 00:28:15,521
They twisted fast
the strands of fate,

354
00:28:15,561 --> 00:28:19,370
"unsettled the strongholds
in Brálund..."

355
00:28:44,622 --> 00:28:46,757
This way, please.

356
00:28:48,359 --> 00:28:52,356
♪ Pale hands I loved ♪
♪ beside the Shalimar. ♪

357
00:28:52,396 --> 00:28:55,125
♪ Where are you now? ♪

358
00:28:55,165 --> 00:29:00,296
♪ Who lies beneath your spell? ♪

359
00:29:00,336 --> 00:29:03,420
♪ Whom do you lead on... ♪

360
00:29:03,460 --> 00:29:05,736
I don't have a hat.

361
00:29:05,776 --> 00:29:09,034
- What?
- I don't have a hat.

362
00:29:09,074 --> 00:29:10,892
That's all right.

363
00:29:10,932 --> 00:29:13,501
They all look ridiculous,
anyway.

364
00:29:22,522 --> 00:29:25,640
What does it mean?
Oh... It's nonsense.

365
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,525
It's about an old man
who's watching an unlucky frog

366
00:29:28,565 --> 00:29:32,066
who can't land softly,
so he gets eaten by a dog.

367
00:29:33,137 --> 00:29:36,629
- And you invented that?
- Yes.

368
00:29:36,669 --> 00:29:38,502
The entire language?

369
00:29:38,542 --> 00:29:41,405
Verb structures,
vocabulary, everything.

370
00:29:41,445 --> 00:29:44,201
My next language
will have a music to it.

371
00:29:44,241 --> 00:29:45,696
"Cellar door."

372
00:29:45,736 --> 00:29:46,992
Cellar door?

373
00:29:47,032 --> 00:29:49,746
That's the most musical word
I can think of.

374
00:29:49,786 --> 00:29:52,282
"Cellar door."
There's something about the fall of it.

375
00:29:52,322 --> 00:29:54,084
The rounding of the mouth.

376
00:29:54,124 --> 00:29:55,534
Cellar door.

377
00:29:55,574 --> 00:29:59,816
If you say it over and over,
it starts to be something... magical.

378
00:29:59,856 --> 00:30:02,727
Cellar door.

379
00:30:03,977 --> 00:30:06,980
Cellar door.

380
00:30:07,137 --> 00:30:09,526
I think that's nonsense.
I mean, it is if you say it like that.

381
00:30:09,566 --> 00:30:13,468
A word isn't beautiful
just because of its sound.

382
00:30:13,508 --> 00:30:14,737
Cellar door.

383
00:30:14,777 --> 00:30:17,921
It's the marriage
of sound and meaning,

384
00:30:17,961 --> 00:30:20,332
the door to the cellar,

385
00:30:20,551 --> 00:30:23,968
a place where something magical
and mysterious might happen.

386
00:30:24,008 --> 00:30:27,484
I'm sorry, have you just dismissed
the basis of my entire language?

387
00:30:27,524 --> 00:30:30,687
Your language isn't worth anything
unless you remember this important fact.

388
00:30:30,727 --> 00:30:33,967
- Oh, is that right?
- It is, yes.

389
00:30:36,724 --> 00:30:38,524
Listen.

390
00:30:39,417 --> 00:30:40,464
Hand.

391
00:30:40,504 --> 00:30:42,531
That might be
a beautiful word...

392
00:30:42,571 --> 00:30:43,530
Yes, it is.

393
00:30:43,570 --> 00:30:48,621
But it means so much more
because of what we associate it with.

394
00:30:58,425 --> 00:31:00,628
Touch.

395
00:31:00,824 --> 00:31:04,554
Things aren't beautiful
because of how they sound.

396
00:31:04,594 --> 00:31:07,872
They're beautiful
because of what they mean.

397
00:31:15,753 --> 00:31:17,243
Tell me a story.

398
00:31:17,283 --> 00:31:18,182
What?

399
00:31:18,222 --> 00:31:21,793
The story of Cellar Door.

400
00:31:22,012 --> 00:31:23,672
No, I can't.
Why not?

401
00:31:23,712 --> 00:31:25,242
When someone asks me
to play the piano...

402
00:31:25,282 --> 00:31:29,057
That's a different thing altogether.
Tell me a story.

403
00:31:29,151 --> 00:31:31,492
In any language you want.

404
00:31:31,532 --> 00:31:32,612
Don't be ridiculous.

405
00:31:32,652 --> 00:31:36,052
The legend...
of Cellar Door.

406
00:31:36,092 --> 00:31:37,887
No, I'm not
a performing monkey.

407
00:31:38,019 --> 00:31:42,192
It begins with the arrival
of a proud and opinionated princess.

408
00:31:42,232 --> 00:31:45,329
Yes, you're right about that.
She demands entertainment.

409
00:31:45,369 --> 00:31:47,993
Princess Cellardoor is bored.

410
00:31:48,033 --> 00:31:52,602
Bored of cakes and muffins
and exquisite china... No.

411
00:31:52,642 --> 00:31:55,138
She longs for another life.

412
00:31:55,178 --> 00:31:57,006
- It's not a name.
- What?

413
00:31:57,046 --> 00:31:59,642
It's something else.

414
00:31:59,682 --> 00:32:03,638
Cellardoor. It's not a
princess's name, it can't be.

415
00:32:03,678 --> 00:32:06,581
Cellardoor...

416
00:32:06,666 --> 00:32:08,637
is a place.

417
00:32:09,794 --> 00:32:12,523
It's a place.
An ancient place.

418
00:32:12,563 --> 00:32:14,939
Impossible to reach, except...

419
00:32:14,979 --> 00:32:16,804
by the most treacherous climb.

420
00:32:16,844 --> 00:32:19,413
It hangs... no...

421
00:32:19,570 --> 00:32:20,563
No?

422
00:32:20,603 --> 00:32:23,300
It's not a climb... It's not...

423
00:32:23,340 --> 00:32:25,709
Door...

424
00:32:26,431 --> 00:32:29,572
Road... path.
It's a path.

425
00:32:29,612 --> 00:32:31,750
A path through a dense,
dark forest.

426
00:32:31,790 --> 00:32:33,063
Oh, is it, now?

427
00:32:33,103 --> 00:32:35,846
And at the heart of Cellardoor,
which is actually a shrine,

428
00:32:35,886 --> 00:32:38,515
there stands
an extraordinary sight.

429
00:32:39,032 --> 00:32:41,363
Is it a proud
and opinionated princess?

430
00:32:41,403 --> 00:32:44,822
It is a place which is revered
by all who know of it.

431
00:32:44,862 --> 00:32:47,370
A sacred place,
marked at its center by...

432
00:32:47,410 --> 00:32:49,484
By?

433
00:32:54,608 --> 00:32:56,367
By trees.

434
00:32:56,407 --> 00:32:58,001
Trees?

435
00:32:58,041 --> 00:33:03,128
One of the purest black like ebony,
the other... white as bone.

436
00:33:03,679 --> 00:33:05,942
They each contain
a deadly poison in their sap.

437
00:33:05,982 --> 00:33:09,186
But they have grown together
over thousands of years.

438
00:33:09,226 --> 00:33:12,056
Leaning into each other, like...

439
00:33:12,096 --> 00:33:15,001
they were fighting, or...

440
00:33:15,922 --> 00:33:17,187
The roots...

441
00:33:17,227 --> 00:33:21,023
the branches of the two trees,
reaching, twisting,

442
00:33:21,063 --> 00:33:25,636
gnarling around each other, have
finally become a single knotted trunk.

443
00:33:26,636 --> 00:33:30,000
Their poisoned saps commingled to create
a powerful, life-giving potion.

444
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:34,002
The water... of Cellardoor.

445
00:33:34,042 --> 00:33:36,471
What does it do?

446
00:33:36,603 --> 00:33:39,723
What does it do?
Yes.

447
00:33:39,763 --> 00:33:41,914
What does it do?

448
00:33:41,954 --> 00:33:43,585
- To drink it...
- Yes?

449
00:33:43,625 --> 00:33:46,457
The water of Cellardoor,
to taste it,

450
00:33:46,497 --> 00:33:49,336
is to possess
the power of sight.

451
00:33:51,461 --> 00:33:52,797
Sight beyond sight.

452
00:33:52,837 --> 00:33:55,166
Sight into the deepest...

453
00:33:55,206 --> 00:33:57,260
darkest parts
of the human heart.

454
00:33:57,300 --> 00:33:59,417
It's a hungry, potent magic.

455
00:33:59,457 --> 00:34:03,448
A magic beyond anything
anyone has ever felt before.

456
00:34:25,944 --> 00:34:27,890
What did you do that for?

457
00:34:27,930 --> 00:34:30,912
I was filled with the spirit
of Cellardoor.

458
00:34:30,952 --> 00:34:33,035
Go on. Your turn.

459
00:34:33,075 --> 00:34:34,264
No.

460
00:34:34,304 --> 00:34:36,792
What's the worst
that could happen?

461
00:35:15,544 --> 00:35:17,374
Aren't you supposed
to be studying?

462
00:35:17,414 --> 00:35:19,932
Oh, yes. Thank you.

463
00:35:34,932 --> 00:35:37,294
- They sound very exciting.
- Yes.

464
00:35:37,334 --> 00:35:39,582
I mean, I'm not saying
that everything everyone says,

465
00:35:39,622 --> 00:35:41,064
is going to be
absolutely fascinating.

466
00:35:41,104 --> 00:35:42,832
- It'll be fine.
- Yes.

467
00:35:42,872 --> 00:35:45,648
I hope
I've dressed up properly.

468
00:35:51,648 --> 00:35:53,954
More tea?

469
00:35:58,954 --> 00:36:01,056
So, what do you
normally talk about?

470
00:36:01,096 --> 00:36:05,392
We... We talk about all sorts
of really interesting things.

471
00:36:05,432 --> 00:36:09,026
Really interesting.
Interesting and fascinating, and...

472
00:36:09,066 --> 00:36:11,660
you know, that's when we're not
trying to change the world.

473
00:36:11,700 --> 00:36:13,296
When we're not
trying to change the world,

474
00:36:13,336 --> 00:36:16,033
the thing we're focusing
on most, Miss Bratt, is...

475
00:36:16,073 --> 00:36:18,776
Please. Edith.

476
00:36:18,941 --> 00:36:20,736
Is our university entrance.

477
00:36:20,776 --> 00:36:22,738
Are you all trying for Oxford?

478
00:36:22,778 --> 00:36:24,541
Well, Tolkien and I are.

479
00:36:24,581 --> 00:36:26,610
The other two are aiming
for Cambridge.

480
00:36:26,650 --> 00:36:28,412
- Treacherous beasts.
- Are you nervous?

481
00:36:28,452 --> 00:36:30,412
Robbie isn't.

482
00:36:30,567 --> 00:36:32,615
I don't believe
in examinations.

483
00:36:32,655 --> 00:36:35,852
I write what I think. And if they want
to give me a mark, it's up to them.

484
00:36:35,892 --> 00:36:39,155
What a revolutionary approach.
Why, thank you.

485
00:36:39,195 --> 00:36:42,725
I would love to hear you play
the piano sometime, Miss...

486
00:36:42,765 --> 00:36:44,287
Edith.

487
00:36:44,825 --> 00:36:46,095
She plays marvelously.

488
00:36:46,135 --> 00:36:48,359
You're a composer yourself,
isn't that right, Christopher?

489
00:36:48,399 --> 00:36:49,278
Yes.

490
00:36:49,318 --> 00:36:52,229
- No, he's been published.
- Heavens.

491
00:36:52,269 --> 00:36:54,269
Which composers do you admire?

492
00:36:54,309 --> 00:36:56,939
- I like the Romantics.
- So do I.

493
00:36:56,979 --> 00:37:00,142
Beethoven. Brahms. Wagner.

494
00:37:00,182 --> 00:37:03,713
I appreciate Wagner.
I'm not sure that I like him.

495
00:37:03,753 --> 00:37:04,914
You "appreciate" him?

496
00:37:04,954 --> 00:37:07,917
Yes. As an agent of emotion,
I mean.

497
00:37:07,957 --> 00:37:10,254
The operas...
They're somehow...

498
00:37:10,294 --> 00:37:12,222
I love Wagner's Rheingold.

499
00:37:12,262 --> 00:37:15,307
Christopher finds those too long.
No, I don't.

500
00:37:15,347 --> 00:37:16,825
Well, nobody blames you.

501
00:37:16,865 --> 00:37:19,329
It shouldn't take six hours to tell
a story about a magic ring.

502
00:37:19,369 --> 00:37:21,223
No, Gilson, you don't know
what you're talking about.

503
00:37:21,263 --> 00:37:24,378
Of course, operas can be
considered long and laborious,

504
00:37:24,418 --> 00:37:28,027
but for my music, whatever the length,
it is imperative that it has heart.

505
00:37:28,067 --> 00:37:29,425
A sensation of intoxication...

506
00:37:29,465 --> 00:37:31,608
- Look, I'm afraid we must go.
- Already?

507
00:37:31,648 --> 00:37:33,510
Yes, Mrs. Faulkner
will be worried.

508
00:37:33,550 --> 00:37:34,988
Tollers, there's so much tea left.

509
00:37:35,028 --> 00:37:37,347
No, but we have exams coming up and
I, for one, have to study.

510
00:37:37,387 --> 00:37:39,242
I'm sorry. Goodbye, all.

511
00:37:39,282 --> 00:37:41,210
It was lovely meeting you.

512
00:37:41,250 --> 00:37:44,254
- Bye.
- Goodbye, Edith.

513
00:37:45,427 --> 00:37:47,631
I'll fetch our coats.

514
00:37:48,396 --> 00:37:50,431
Are you ashamed of me?

515
00:37:50,666 --> 00:37:52,230
What?

516
00:37:52,270 --> 00:37:56,403
I can't think of another explanation.
I don't know what you're talking about.

517
00:37:56,443 --> 00:37:58,939
You know
how I spend my days, John.

518
00:37:58,979 --> 00:38:00,439
You've seen me.

519
00:38:00,479 --> 00:38:02,114
I'm a companion.

520
00:38:02,154 --> 00:38:04,039
A prisoner.

521
00:38:04,079 --> 00:38:08,529
There's no secret
literary societies for me.

522
00:38:08,569 --> 00:38:10,772
No escape.

523
00:38:11,921 --> 00:38:14,654
I play piano
for Mrs. Faulkner.

524
00:38:14,694 --> 00:38:18,668
Terrible, sentimental songs
on the piano.

525
00:38:18,708 --> 00:38:20,818
I sit with her in the evening.

526
00:38:20,858 --> 00:38:23,260
Read with her. Sew with her.

527
00:38:23,354 --> 00:38:25,791
Listen to her.

528
00:38:25,869 --> 00:38:28,331
I have a passion for Wagner.

529
00:38:28,371 --> 00:38:32,035
I want to talk about him.
To discuss. To debate.

530
00:38:32,075 --> 00:38:33,881
But you...

531
00:39:43,746 --> 00:39:46,380
Take cover!

532
00:39:50,434 --> 00:39:52,474
Run, sir!

533
00:39:57,927 --> 00:40:00,198
Sir, I think we're safe.

534
00:40:01,714 --> 00:40:03,718
It's okay.

535
00:40:12,142 --> 00:40:14,903
Sir. Let's stay here, sir.

536
00:40:14,943 --> 00:40:16,950
Let's stay here, sir.

537
00:40:46,308 --> 00:40:49,677
Haven't you anything
a little more cheerful, dear?

538
00:41:05,561 --> 00:41:09,263
"Shapes in the mist."
It is long since I saw you.

539
00:41:09,303 --> 00:41:12,439
Pale hands and faces, quiet eyes.

540
00:41:12,635 --> 00:41:15,999
Crowned with a garland
that dead hands wrought you.

541
00:41:16,039 --> 00:41:18,809
Out of remembrance
that never dies.

542
00:41:19,684 --> 00:41:22,753
One among you
is tall and supple.

543
00:41:22,878 --> 00:41:25,841
Good to love
and to fight beside.

544
00:41:25,881 --> 00:41:28,244
Only the stain
of a deadly quarrel.

545
00:41:28,284 --> 00:41:31,822
Only that
and the years divide".

546
00:41:32,822 --> 00:41:34,383
- It's dreadful.
- It's superb.

547
00:41:34,423 --> 00:41:36,151
- Stop being such a moron.
- It isn't finished.

548
00:41:36,191 --> 00:41:37,452
It's wonderful.

549
00:41:37,492 --> 00:41:40,682
It's Greek, in a way.
The love of comrades.

550
00:41:40,722 --> 00:41:43,559
It's very emotive.
You should be proud.

551
00:41:44,512 --> 00:41:46,414
Right. Who's next?

552
00:41:46,602 --> 00:41:47,829
Tollers?

553
00:41:47,869 --> 00:41:50,345
No, I haven't anything new.

554
00:41:50,385 --> 00:41:51,675
Really?

555
00:41:51,715 --> 00:41:55,885
Well, if Tolkien is betraying
the brotherhood with a blank,

556
00:41:55,925 --> 00:41:59,326
I'm going to show you
something utterly degenerate.

557
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,380
This cannot be good.

558
00:42:02,420 --> 00:42:06,435
Heavens above.
Copied, unfortunately.

559
00:42:06,475 --> 00:42:09,532
And what I need
is life models.

560
00:42:09,572 --> 00:42:11,909
Not much chance of that,
of course.

561
00:42:13,855 --> 00:42:15,758
I take it
that's not one of yours.

562
00:42:15,798 --> 00:42:18,861
What, my father's
aristocratic pretensions?

563
00:42:18,901 --> 00:42:20,963
Needless to say,
he hasn't got a rifle,

564
00:42:21,003 --> 00:42:24,140
a stately home,
or a pack of spaniels.

565
00:42:24,180 --> 00:42:26,102
Have you really
not written anything?

566
00:42:26,142 --> 00:42:28,370
Not even inspired
by Miss Bratt?

567
00:42:28,410 --> 00:42:31,907
Don't be an ass, Wiseman.
Edith and I...

568
00:42:31,947 --> 00:42:33,175
share a lodging.

569
00:42:33,215 --> 00:42:35,812
So, her heart is still unclaimed?
Thank you, Tolkien. Good to know.

570
00:42:35,852 --> 00:42:37,331
So, you've written nothing?

571
00:42:37,371 --> 00:42:40,922
I can't get into my stride.
I feel... unfocused.

572
00:42:40,962 --> 00:42:43,854
You know what
I think that's a symptom of?

573
00:42:43,894 --> 00:42:45,544
Constipation?

574
00:42:46,592 --> 00:42:48,957
Love.
Requited or otherwise.

575
00:42:48,997 --> 00:42:50,229
Yes. Thank you.

576
00:42:50,269 --> 00:42:53,929
What a wonderful insight
into the human condition, Chris.

577
00:42:53,969 --> 00:42:57,959
It's a pity it doesn't find
its way into your music.

578
00:42:57,999 --> 00:43:01,651
You know, I'm surprised you expect us to
believe a single word you say, Tolkien.

579
00:43:01,691 --> 00:43:03,271
What's that supposed to mean?

580
00:43:03,311 --> 00:43:05,426
You kept the
delectable Miss Bratt from us.

581
00:43:05,466 --> 00:43:07,337
Who knows what else
you might be concealing.

582
00:43:07,377 --> 00:43:09,077
Christopher.

583
00:43:09,117 --> 00:43:11,984
A wife, three children and a ranch
in Argentina. Since you ask.

584
00:43:12,024 --> 00:43:13,830
God, I wish
I had Tolkien's secret life,

585
00:43:13,870 --> 00:43:17,858
Geoff? Can we please
just play the game?

586
00:43:21,264 --> 00:43:22,757
I thought you said
he was away?

587
00:43:22,797 --> 00:43:25,185
Yes, he was.

588
00:43:25,358 --> 00:43:27,227
He is...

589
00:43:28,470 --> 00:43:33,057
Geoffrey, give me
that quickly. Thank you.

590
00:43:33,097 --> 00:43:34,704
Where do I put
these things?

591
00:43:34,744 --> 00:43:37,294
Quickly.

592
00:43:48,358 --> 00:43:50,919
- Sir.
- Headmaster.

593
00:43:50,959 --> 00:43:52,120
What's this?

594
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:53,923
You said I might have
some friends here, sir.

595
00:43:53,963 --> 00:43:56,888
While you were away.
Your aunt is better.

596
00:43:57,589 --> 00:43:59,661
I came home.

597
00:44:01,770 --> 00:44:03,767
I have work to do.
Send them home now.

598
00:44:03,807 --> 00:44:06,001
I've promised the boys that
they can stay the night, sir.

599
00:44:06,041 --> 00:44:08,905
Circumstances
have changed, however.

600
00:44:08,945 --> 00:44:11,582
And now they will go home.

601
00:44:25,720 --> 00:44:27,472
Helheimr.

602
00:44:27,512 --> 00:44:29,714
Don't be ridiculous.

603
00:44:29,832 --> 00:44:31,668
Helheimr.

604
00:44:32,457 --> 00:44:34,550
Helheimr.

605
00:44:34,590 --> 00:44:38,705
If not now, then when?

606
00:44:50,813 --> 00:44:52,613
Sir?

607
00:44:54,624 --> 00:44:58,754
I prefer not to go back on
my offer of hospitality, sir.

608
00:44:58,794 --> 00:45:03,200
I think it ungentlemanly.
You think...

609
00:45:04,067 --> 00:45:06,952
I'm sorry. What?

610
00:45:06,992 --> 00:45:09,730
Ungentlemanly, sir.

611
00:45:10,683 --> 00:45:13,302
Father, I think it rude.

612
00:45:13,342 --> 00:45:16,463
The boys are here to study.
And play billiards.

613
00:45:16,503 --> 00:45:19,407
Yes, and play billiards.

614
00:45:20,650 --> 00:45:23,479
We've worked hard, sir.
And these are my friends.

615
00:45:23,519 --> 00:45:26,624
And I have made them
a promise, which...

616
00:45:27,303 --> 00:45:29,305
with respect,

617
00:45:29,626 --> 00:45:31,898
I would like to keep.

618
00:45:34,773 --> 00:45:36,579
Very well.

619
00:45:46,993 --> 00:45:49,762
Gilson.
You're a bloody hero.

620
00:45:49,802 --> 00:45:53,015
- Boys, stop.
- Bloody hero.

621
00:45:53,055 --> 00:45:56,564
Helheimr.

622
00:46:08,530 --> 00:46:12,193
There's a word in old German,
it has no translation in English,

623
00:46:12,233 --> 00:46:16,032
but it means a gift offered
fearfully in the wake of an argument.

624
00:46:16,072 --> 00:46:19,079
Drachenfutter.

625
00:46:23,079 --> 00:46:26,122
Literally, "Dragon Food."

626
00:46:33,122 --> 00:46:35,925
So now I'm a dragon?

627
00:46:41,664 --> 00:46:44,026
Wagner wrote it
in four acts.

628
00:46:44,066 --> 00:46:46,963
It starts with a ring,
a magical ring which can rule the world,

629
00:46:47,003 --> 00:46:48,582
and which is forged
by a dwarf.

630
00:46:48,622 --> 00:46:50,332
It's Alberich.

631
00:46:50,372 --> 00:46:52,936
Well, I have picked up the odd
bit of German mythology.

632
00:46:52,976 --> 00:46:56,171
But to harness the ring's power,
you first have to renounce love.

633
00:46:56,211 --> 00:46:59,242
Oh. A very sensible exchange,
in my opinion.

634
00:46:59,282 --> 00:47:02,452
Well, that's because
you're a coldhearted Viking.

635
00:47:03,452 --> 00:47:05,615
Two, please. Upper gallery.

636
00:47:05,655 --> 00:47:08,237
Gallery
and upper gallery full.

637
00:47:08,277 --> 00:47:09,423
Sorry, what?

638
00:47:09,463 --> 00:47:13,052
The gallery and upper gallery
are full. I'm sorry.

639
00:47:14,061 --> 00:47:15,691
Nothing at all?

640
00:47:15,731 --> 00:47:18,218
That's what we mean
by full, sir, yes.

641
00:47:18,258 --> 00:47:22,162
There is availability
in the dress circle.

642
00:47:23,271 --> 00:47:25,575
The dress circle.

643
00:47:26,481 --> 00:47:29,952
But that's five shillings.

644
00:47:30,842 --> 00:47:35,688
And we do respectfully ask patrons to
dress appropriately for that tier, sir.

645
00:47:38,484 --> 00:47:40,621
Come on.

646
00:47:42,622 --> 00:47:44,239
Edith.

647
00:47:45,020 --> 00:47:46,810
Follow me.

648
00:48:13,042 --> 00:48:14,607
Sorry.

649
00:48:14,856 --> 00:48:16,795
It's fine.

650
00:48:19,929 --> 00:48:21,922
Humiliating.

651
00:48:21,962 --> 00:48:24,732
Counting out the pennies.
It's shameful.

652
00:48:28,438 --> 00:48:31,233
I'm not going
to live like that.

653
00:48:31,273 --> 00:48:33,102
And neither should you.

654
00:48:33,142 --> 00:48:35,210
They're just tickets. We can...
It's not the tickets.

655
00:48:35,250 --> 00:48:38,276
It's about not losing
the people you love.

656
00:48:38,316 --> 00:48:41,186
Looking after them.

657
00:48:42,108 --> 00:48:44,211
My mother, she...

658
00:48:45,227 --> 00:48:47,964
She was sick.

659
00:48:49,034 --> 00:48:52,005
I don't know what it was.

660
00:48:52,896 --> 00:48:55,356
But, maybe,
if I could have paid...

661
00:48:55,396 --> 00:48:57,158
for a doctor, I...

662
00:48:57,198 --> 00:48:58,607
then...

663
00:49:02,301 --> 00:49:04,304
Sorry.

664
00:49:04,694 --> 00:49:06,644
This isn't going to work.

665
00:49:06,684 --> 00:49:09,284
It was a nice idea, though.

666
00:51:54,029 --> 00:51:55,988
You may begin.

667
00:51:56,028 --> 00:51:58,541
Oxford entrance. Paper 1.

668
00:51:58,581 --> 00:52:00,517
The time is nine o'clock,

669
00:52:00,557 --> 00:52:03,979
and you have three hours.

670
00:52:04,019 --> 00:52:06,046
Good luck.

671
00:52:10,816 --> 00:52:12,620
Look, I can take it again.

672
00:52:12,660 --> 00:52:14,789
I can take it again,
and I can pass.

673
00:52:14,829 --> 00:52:16,330
To pass is not enough.

674
00:52:16,370 --> 00:52:18,341
You need a scholarship.

675
00:52:19,434 --> 00:52:21,521
I'm worried, Ronald.

676
00:52:21,561 --> 00:52:25,808
I'm sure Master Gilson
has no need for a scholarship.

677
00:52:25,848 --> 00:52:28,970
As for Geoffrey Smith...
This has nothing to do with my friends.

678
00:52:29,010 --> 00:52:33,284
We encourage each other,
we push each other on.

679
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,310
Your fellow lodger.

680
00:52:37,350 --> 00:52:39,234
Miss Bratt.

681
00:52:39,389 --> 00:52:41,816
No, Edith has nothing to do
with my failing that exam.

682
00:52:41,856 --> 00:52:45,421
You were seen coming out
of her room. At night.

683
00:52:45,461 --> 00:52:46,789
We talked.

684
00:52:46,829 --> 00:52:48,024
We talk to each other.

685
00:52:48,064 --> 00:52:50,390
Oh. So, it's true.
Yes, of course it's true. It doesn't...

686
00:52:50,430 --> 00:52:53,028
The night before the exam,
you accompanied her to the concert hall.

687
00:52:53,068 --> 00:52:56,030
That, also,
has nothing to do with this?

688
00:52:56,070 --> 00:53:00,110
She's not even
Catholic, Ronald.

689
00:53:00,797 --> 00:53:02,764
Your mother...

690
00:53:02,897 --> 00:53:05,100
made a sacrifice.

691
00:53:05,287 --> 00:53:10,494
She knew she was dying and she trusted
your future and education to me.

692
00:53:10,534 --> 00:53:13,603
I intend to honor that.

693
00:53:13,665 --> 00:53:15,985
The time has come
for you to choose,

694
00:53:16,025 --> 00:53:19,246
whether or not you will follow
in her example.

695
00:53:19,286 --> 00:53:20,996
I don't think I understand.

696
00:53:21,036 --> 00:53:24,026
I must ask you to have nothing
more to do with Miss Bratt.

697
00:53:24,066 --> 00:53:26,894
That's ridiculous.
That's completely unfair.

698
00:53:26,934 --> 00:53:29,341
- Nevertheless.
- No. No, I...

699
00:53:29,381 --> 00:53:30,546
I can't. I won't.

700
00:53:30,586 --> 00:53:34,003
I am your legal guardian...
Yes, but you don't understand.

701
00:53:34,043 --> 00:53:37,046
- Oh, I understand perfectly.
- No. Father.

702
00:53:37,796 --> 00:53:39,968
I love her.

703
00:53:42,944 --> 00:53:44,931
I wish...

704
00:53:44,971 --> 00:53:48,628
Ronald, I wish you could enjoy
the same luxuries other boys do.

705
00:53:48,668 --> 00:53:51,129
- I wish...
- No, you're jealous.

706
00:53:51,169 --> 00:53:53,189
You don't want that at all.
You're jealous.

707
00:53:53,229 --> 00:53:54,890
You say that but you don't
mean it. You're a priest.

708
00:53:54,930 --> 00:53:56,591
You don't know anything
about love. How could you?

709
00:53:56,631 --> 00:53:57,994
- Listen to me.
- You want me to be alone.

710
00:53:58,034 --> 00:53:59,727
You want me to live alone
like you and have nothing.

711
00:53:59,767 --> 00:54:01,030
I won't.
I won't live like that.

712
00:54:01,070 --> 00:54:03,765
If after the age of 21,
you still feel the same way,

713
00:54:03,805 --> 00:54:07,577
you are, of course,
free to do as you please.

714
00:54:08,577 --> 00:54:12,006
Until that time,
you have a duty to fulfill.

715
00:54:12,046 --> 00:54:15,144
And you will fulfill it,
Ronald.

716
00:54:15,184 --> 00:54:18,829
So, help me God,
you will fulfill it.

717
00:54:26,829 --> 00:54:28,957
I can't fail it again.

718
00:54:28,997 --> 00:54:31,929
And you know what will happen
if I don't get into Oxford.

719
00:54:35,604 --> 00:54:36,835
I could become a priest,

720
00:54:36,875 --> 00:54:41,037
But I don't think a life of celibacy
is what either of us had in mind.

721
00:54:42,779 --> 00:54:44,819
Edith?

722
00:54:50,132 --> 00:54:51,972
Edith, it's just until
I reach my majority.

723
00:54:52,012 --> 00:54:53,973
Oh, for God's sake, Ronald.

724
00:54:54,013 --> 00:54:56,550
Don't be so dramatic.

725
00:54:57,793 --> 00:55:00,889
It doesn't matter. No, don't say that.
Of course, it matters.

726
00:55:00,929 --> 00:55:03,124
I don't know why
you're taking it so hard.

727
00:55:03,164 --> 00:55:06,468
Things are just returning
to normal, that's all.

728
00:55:06,873 --> 00:55:09,968
To reality.
No, I won't give up on our future.

729
00:55:10,521 --> 00:55:12,679
That's why I'm...

730
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,891
I refuse to give up on that.

731
00:55:17,961 --> 00:55:20,831
Of course, you will.

732
00:55:21,050 --> 00:55:23,655
More quickly than you think.

733
00:55:26,436 --> 00:55:30,528
So will I. No, that's not true.
Edith, please. Look...

734
00:55:32,286 --> 00:55:36,380
I let myself believe that there were
happy endings for people like us.

735
00:55:36,420 --> 00:55:38,093
But there aren't.

736
00:55:38,133 --> 00:55:39,933
There can't be.

737
00:55:42,613 --> 00:55:45,851
But you get your happy ending.

738
00:55:46,866 --> 00:55:49,535
Hope you enjoy Oxford.

739
00:55:49,575 --> 00:55:52,647
No. Edith.

740
00:56:16,354 --> 00:56:18,081
I need your help.

741
00:56:18,121 --> 00:56:20,068
I need to rest, Sam.

742
00:56:20,108 --> 00:56:22,637
You have to find Geoffrey.

743
00:56:22,677 --> 00:56:26,010
Sir, I'm not leaving you here.
Sam. I'm not leaving you here.

744
00:56:26,050 --> 00:56:28,940
Sam. It's an order.

745
00:56:28,980 --> 00:56:32,386
Find Geoffrey
and tell him not to lose hope.

746
00:56:34,379 --> 00:56:37,750
Tell him that the T.C.B.S., we...

747
00:56:39,961 --> 00:56:41,761
Just keep him alive.

748
00:57:08,423 --> 00:57:10,718
- Is it a dragon?
- It's a dragon. It's a dragon.

749
00:57:10,758 --> 00:57:11,954
For goodness' sake.

750
00:57:11,994 --> 00:57:14,054
I was wondering,
did I mention before...

751
00:57:14,094 --> 00:57:17,193
The set of the play is very much
inspired by the architecture of Trinity.

752
00:57:17,233 --> 00:57:20,245
Sorry, chaps.
But what's it about? Well...

753
00:57:20,285 --> 00:57:23,432
- And so, you're the poet?
- No, that's Geoffrey.

754
00:57:23,472 --> 00:57:26,207
I think you Oxford men
should be upping the game. No?

755
00:57:26,247 --> 00:57:27,936
- Where are we off to next?
- Yes, do tell.

756
00:57:27,976 --> 00:57:31,104
Yes, where shall we...?
Sorry, excuse me.

757
00:57:32,331 --> 00:57:34,131
Right.

758
00:57:38,023 --> 00:57:40,149
Stealing a bus?
That's your plan?

759
00:57:40,189 --> 00:57:43,605
- Gilson! Quiet!
- Hurry up!

760
00:57:43,645 --> 00:57:47,947
I think that particular match it was the
Oxford men versus the Cambridge boys.

761
00:57:47,987 --> 00:57:50,640
Oh, come on,
the referee was blind.

762
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:54,552
I hereby declare the third
Oxford council of the T.C.B.S.

763
00:57:54,592 --> 00:57:56,695
well and truly open.

764
00:57:56,735 --> 00:57:59,575
And would like to welcome our damsels
from the Eagle and Child,

765
00:57:59,615 --> 00:58:00,702
as honorary guests.

766
00:58:00,742 --> 00:58:03,968
May all our meetings take
place on an abandoned omnibus.

767
00:58:04,008 --> 00:58:06,864
I think the word "abandoned" might
be stretching it. Maybe a bit.

768
00:58:06,904 --> 00:58:08,607
What is the T.C.B.?

769
00:58:08,647 --> 00:58:11,316
Oh, the T.C.B.S.

770
00:58:11,746 --> 00:58:14,916
I don't think you like me,
Mr. Burglar.

771
00:58:14,956 --> 00:58:17,119
- Sorry, I was just...
- I apologize for my friend.

772
00:58:17,159 --> 00:58:18,923
- He's pining for someone.
- What?

773
00:58:18,963 --> 00:58:20,851
He's pining
for the delectable Miss Bratt.

774
00:58:20,891 --> 00:58:23,291
Take no notice of him.
Who's the delectable Miss Bratt?

775
00:58:23,331 --> 00:58:24,695
- She's no one.
- Oh, is she, Tollers?

776
00:58:24,735 --> 00:58:26,987
The way you've been moping
around for the past couple of months.

777
00:58:27,027 --> 00:58:29,680
It's not very nice to talk about another
lady when you're with someone.

778
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:31,520
No, you're absolutely right.
I apologize, Myrtle.

779
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:33,062
It's Beryl.

780
00:58:33,102 --> 00:58:34,158
See? See?

781
00:58:34,198 --> 00:58:36,949
Sitting in the arms of a beautiful girl
and he can't even remember her name.

782
00:58:36,989 --> 00:58:39,974
I'm sorry if my difficulties are getting
in the way of your diversions.

783
00:58:40,014 --> 00:58:43,044
You made a decision, Tolkien.
Nobody forced you into it.

784
00:58:43,084 --> 00:58:44,479
- What?
- Edith or Oxford.

785
00:58:44,519 --> 00:58:46,182
You chose Oxford,
and here you are!

786
00:58:46,222 --> 00:58:48,101
Sat on a commandeered bus
with three beautiful girls,

787
00:58:48,141 --> 00:58:50,084
and your best friends. For
God's sake, enjoy yourself!

788
00:58:50,124 --> 00:58:51,887
- Nobody forced me?
- Oh, yes...

789
00:58:51,927 --> 00:58:53,187
The priest. Your benefactor.

790
00:58:53,227 --> 00:58:54,655
Chris, this is
getting out of hand.

791
00:58:54,695 --> 00:58:56,484
Don't talk about things you...
This was wonderful.

792
00:58:56,524 --> 00:58:58,709
You let her go. You didn't want her
more than you wanted Oxford. No.

793
00:58:58,749 --> 00:59:00,695
- I didn't have a choice.
- Does that make you a rotter?

794
00:59:00,735 --> 00:59:02,045
Does that make you
something else?

795
00:59:02,085 --> 00:59:04,064
- What's the matter with you?
- Just shut up!

796
00:59:04,104 --> 00:59:05,787
Oh, for God's sake, Tollers.

797
00:59:05,827 --> 00:59:09,303
Chris. Sorry, Chris.

798
00:59:09,343 --> 00:59:11,907
- Bloody hell, Tollers.
- Are you all right?

799
00:59:11,947 --> 00:59:14,372
For an intellectual,
you've quite an impressive right hook.

800
00:59:14,412 --> 00:59:16,118
- Hit me back. Please.
- No.

801
00:59:16,158 --> 00:59:18,247
Hit me back right now.
Please, Chris.

802
00:59:18,287 --> 00:59:20,081
- Forget it. Forget it.
- Chris, please.

803
00:59:20,121 --> 00:59:22,526
It's fine.

804
00:59:23,526 --> 00:59:27,164
No, that was horrible of me.
I'm sorry.

805
00:59:28,866 --> 00:59:32,812
What you need
to understand, Tolkien, you...

806
00:59:32,852 --> 00:59:35,072
poor lawless orphan,

807
00:59:35,112 --> 00:59:37,750
is that we are your brothers.

808
00:59:37,907 --> 00:59:41,048
Through everything.
Yes, absolutely.

809
00:59:41,147 --> 00:59:42,150
Exactly.

810
00:59:42,190 --> 00:59:45,339
This is more than...
just a friendship.

811
00:59:45,379 --> 00:59:47,481
It's an alliance.

812
00:59:47,567 --> 00:59:50,703
An invincible alliance.

813
00:59:50,804 --> 00:59:52,070
Helheimr!

814
00:59:52,110 --> 00:59:54,773
- Helheimr.
- Still Helheimr.

815
00:59:54,813 --> 00:59:56,782
Every time he gets it wrong.

816
00:59:56,822 --> 00:59:59,053
Right, I need a drink.
Where did the girls go?

817
00:59:59,093 --> 01:00:00,933
Get down.

818
01:00:02,497 --> 01:00:06,169
Hold the door, George.

819
01:00:08,950 --> 01:00:11,847
They let you out in one piece.

820
01:00:11,887 --> 01:00:15,758
They're speaking to the rector
in the morning.

821
01:00:15,852 --> 01:00:16,955
What about you?

822
01:00:16,995 --> 01:00:19,564
Well, Gilson and Wiseman,
the Cambridge swines,

823
01:00:19,604 --> 01:00:21,418
have been let go already.

824
01:00:21,458 --> 01:00:22,977
I wasn't quite so lucky.

825
01:00:23,017 --> 01:00:25,421
Looks like I'll be joining you
in the rector's office tomorrow.

826
01:00:25,461 --> 01:00:27,462
Death by lecture.

827
01:00:27,689 --> 01:00:28,858
I'm sorry, Geoff.

828
01:00:28,898 --> 01:00:31,218
- No, it's not your fault.
- No, it is.

829
01:00:31,258 --> 01:00:35,049
If it wasn't for me, you'd be in the
arms of the delightful Mary by now.

830
01:00:35,089 --> 01:00:37,492
Please. The moment
I showed any interest,

831
01:00:37,532 --> 01:00:39,662
she started talking about
her sweetheart.

832
01:00:39,702 --> 01:00:42,644
I was doing all right
until Wiseman ruined it.

833
01:01:15,804 --> 01:01:18,399
The rector was
honestly writing to my mother.

834
01:01:18,439 --> 01:01:21,336
Do you think I stand a chance
of becoming a poet after this?

835
01:01:21,376 --> 01:01:24,241
She's going to lose her mind.
So, that's that.

836
01:01:24,281 --> 01:01:27,309
Oh, Geoffrey's
only lost his career.

837
01:01:27,349 --> 01:01:29,818
What did you get, Tolkien?

838
01:01:30,630 --> 01:01:34,011
I got sent down.

839
01:01:34,051 --> 01:01:35,521
Are you joking, Tollers?

840
01:01:35,561 --> 01:01:37,086
They can't
send you down for that.

841
01:01:37,126 --> 01:01:38,452
For a bloody picnic on a bus.

842
01:01:38,492 --> 01:01:41,026
The bus was the least of it.

843
01:01:41,066 --> 01:01:42,668
I haven't achieved the grades.

844
01:01:42,708 --> 01:01:45,459
According to the rector,
I have no flair for the Greats,

845
01:01:45,499 --> 01:01:48,631
and only a passing interest
in the ancient Greeks.

846
01:01:48,671 --> 01:01:50,099
So, they won't endorse
my scholarship.

847
01:01:50,139 --> 01:01:52,326
Yes, but that doesn't mean
you have to go down.

848
01:01:52,366 --> 01:01:54,635
No, of course not.
How stupid of me.

849
01:01:54,675 --> 01:01:56,604
Yes, when Mama gets back
from Monte Carlo,

850
01:01:56,644 --> 01:01:59,146
I'll ask her
to write another check.

851
01:02:00,983 --> 01:02:03,047
What are you going to do?

852
01:02:03,087 --> 01:02:05,218
They'll endorse my scholarship
until the end of term.

853
01:02:05,258 --> 01:02:07,381
After that, I have to finance
my own studies.

854
01:02:07,421 --> 01:02:11,110
Which is, of course, impossible,
so, get a job, I suppose.

855
01:02:12,872 --> 01:02:14,672
Well, doing what?

856
01:02:15,664 --> 01:02:19,260
I will go back to Birmingham
and work in a bakery.

857
01:02:19,300 --> 01:02:22,685
Or I will make shoes
for rich dimwits like you,

858
01:02:22,725 --> 01:02:24,499
who come in
waving their wallets.

859
01:02:24,539 --> 01:02:28,242
I could do with a new pair
of Oxfords, anyway.

860
01:02:28,620 --> 01:02:32,911
But, in all seriousness, you've
always had more flair than any of us.

861
01:02:32,951 --> 01:02:35,047
And...

862
01:02:35,117 --> 01:02:36,378
I'll be honest,

863
01:02:36,418 --> 01:02:38,655
I sometimes hated you for it.

864
01:02:39,436 --> 01:02:43,657
But, out of us all, you're the last
person who should be sent down.

865
01:02:45,193 --> 01:02:47,356
So, tomorrow is our last game.

866
01:02:47,396 --> 01:02:49,224
We're gonna really
miss thrashing you, chaps.

867
01:02:49,264 --> 01:02:51,064
Please.

868
01:03:00,710 --> 01:03:03,478
Wiseman, stop him!

869
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,013
- Well done, Tolkien.
- Thank you.

870
01:03:15,053 --> 01:03:17,119
Good game, boys.

871
01:03:17,159 --> 01:03:19,823
- That was a beautiful run.
- Well played, you big oaf.

872
01:03:19,863 --> 01:03:24,164
You weren't a total fool, Tollers.
Sorry, what was the score, Wiseman?

873
01:03:25,218 --> 01:03:27,526
Well played, lads.

874
01:03:27,566 --> 01:03:28,756
Hello, Mother.

875
01:03:28,796 --> 01:03:31,365
- Well played, Geoffrey.
- Thank you for coming.

876
01:03:31,405 --> 01:03:34,303
Are we still on for dinner later?
Yes. Seven o'clock.

877
01:03:34,343 --> 01:03:37,080
And your father will be there.

878
01:03:43,728 --> 01:03:45,697
Excuse me, Mrs. Smith.

879
01:03:45,854 --> 01:03:48,860
I wondered if I might
have a brief word. Well?

880
01:03:49,077 --> 01:03:50,154
What?

881
01:03:50,194 --> 01:03:53,649
It's about Geoffrey and,
this business with the rector.

882
01:03:53,689 --> 01:03:55,256
It's been the most dreadful
misunderstanding.

883
01:03:55,296 --> 01:03:58,090
I'd prefer not to talk about
that, if you don't mind.

884
01:03:58,538 --> 01:04:00,729
I'm responsible for everything
that happened that night,

885
01:04:00,769 --> 01:04:03,198
and I assure you
I've been thoroughly punished.

886
01:04:03,238 --> 01:04:05,533
I'm trying to say, please don't
make things harder on Geoffrey.

887
01:04:05,573 --> 01:04:08,236
He's one of the most
diligent people I know.

888
01:04:08,276 --> 01:04:09,198
And the kindest.

889
01:04:09,238 --> 01:04:10,893
He tries so hard
to make you proud of him.

890
01:04:10,933 --> 01:04:13,575
And he has such exceptional talents.
I know I'm speaking out of line...

891
01:04:13,615 --> 01:04:15,477
- And you were responsible?
- Yes.

892
01:04:15,517 --> 01:04:18,280
Yes, and I've been sent down.

893
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:21,480
So, you needn't worry about
my influence anymore.

894
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,752
And...

895
01:04:23,792 --> 01:04:27,445
What... What talents
are you referring to?

896
01:04:27,485 --> 01:04:28,729
He's a poet.

897
01:04:28,769 --> 01:04:31,325
He's had his work published
in college magazines.

898
01:04:31,365 --> 01:04:33,821
He'd kill me for telling
you this. But he's good.

899
01:04:33,861 --> 01:04:36,772
Good afternoon to you.

900
01:04:43,866 --> 01:04:45,666
Mr. Tolkien?

901
01:04:46,171 --> 01:04:49,020
- This is for you.
- Thank you.

902
01:05:29,358 --> 01:05:34,317
Students off the grass!
Have you any idea what time it is?

903
01:05:34,357 --> 01:05:36,392
You silly old sod!

904
01:05:36,697 --> 01:05:41,635
I say, Wright, is he one of yours?
I don't believe he is.

905
01:05:43,964 --> 01:05:45,633
You silly old...

906
01:05:46,128 --> 01:05:48,141
Get off the lawn!

907
01:05:59,227 --> 01:06:01,932
Hail Earendel...

908
01:06:03,705 --> 01:06:07,748
brightest of angels
sent unto men.

909
01:07:02,265 --> 01:07:05,375
Ronald.
Ronald, get up.

910
01:07:05,415 --> 01:07:07,850
Get up. It's me. Wake up.

911
01:07:07,890 --> 01:07:10,517
Yes, I'm awake.
You've woken up the whole college.

912
01:07:10,557 --> 01:07:13,871
They can't send me down twice, can they?
Pull yourself together. Can they?

913
01:07:13,911 --> 01:07:16,214
Geoff! Geoff, sit down.

914
01:07:16,254 --> 01:07:18,324
Have a drink. Wonderful malt.

915
01:07:18,364 --> 01:07:21,853
I don't want a drink.
Pull yourself together, John.

916
01:07:28,513 --> 01:07:31,900
Would you like to come to a wedding?
What?

917
01:07:32,377 --> 01:07:34,134
Very beautiful, English...

918
01:07:34,174 --> 01:07:37,604
John... summer wedding.
You're not making any sense.

919
01:07:37,644 --> 01:07:39,162
Edith.

920
01:07:39,202 --> 01:07:41,960
Congratulations.

921
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,018
Yes, she wrote to me. She's...

922
01:07:44,058 --> 01:07:46,010
She's engaged.

923
01:07:46,050 --> 01:07:48,220
She's getting married.

924
01:07:48,315 --> 01:07:50,384
Oh, John, that's...

925
01:07:50,469 --> 01:07:52,639
That's awfully bad luck.

926
01:07:53,506 --> 01:07:55,629
I'm sorry.
I'm in a bit of a mess.

927
01:07:55,669 --> 01:07:57,778
- No, that's okay. Hey, hey...
- Sorry, Geoff.

928
01:07:57,818 --> 01:07:59,509
It's okay. It's okay.

929
01:07:59,549 --> 01:08:02,788
That's okay.

930
01:08:04,865 --> 01:08:06,908
I've got you.

931
01:08:09,151 --> 01:08:10,796
I've got you.

932
01:08:10,836 --> 01:08:13,409
Fencers salute!

933
01:08:17,237 --> 01:08:19,702
How are you feeling?

934
01:08:19,742 --> 01:08:22,666
Oh, absolutely fantastic.

935
01:08:22,706 --> 01:08:24,506
Delightful.

936
01:08:24,623 --> 01:08:27,631
And what a marvelous idea
this was, thank you.

937
01:08:31,553 --> 01:08:33,787
To love someone,

938
01:08:33,944 --> 01:08:40,642
who, for whatever reason,
cannot return your feelings is painful.

939
01:08:42,645 --> 01:08:45,382
But if you listen
to the poets,

940
01:08:46,202 --> 01:08:50,608
perhaps there's a kind
of beauty to that love.

941
01:08:51,919 --> 01:08:53,754
It burns.

942
01:08:53,795 --> 01:09:00,579
Bright. And it's never tainted
by reality or by... overuse.

943
01:09:01,943 --> 01:09:05,924
It's as clear and fierce today as it
was the very first day it began.

944
01:09:05,964 --> 01:09:08,720
And there's beauty to that,

945
01:09:08,972 --> 01:09:11,641
I think.

946
01:09:12,946 --> 01:09:15,956
At least, that's what
I cling to, anyway.

947
01:09:27,808 --> 01:09:29,711
Hails!

948
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:32,508
Hails!

949
01:09:35,536 --> 01:09:38,977
Another gobbledygook speaker.

950
01:09:42,414 --> 01:09:47,101
How are you,
finding the Gothic Primer?

951
01:09:47,141 --> 01:09:50,324
Yes. Not bad. The preface
is pretty well written.

952
01:09:50,364 --> 01:09:52,743
There's not much
of the language itself.

953
01:09:52,783 --> 01:09:55,392
- A pity about that.
- Yes.

954
01:09:55,685 --> 01:09:59,215
- Last night in the quad...
- God. You were there.

955
01:09:59,255 --> 01:10:02,654
I heard a language
I was unfamiliar with.

956
01:10:02,694 --> 01:10:06,065
Well, of course, the greater
part of Oxfordshire heard it too,

957
01:10:06,105 --> 01:10:09,525
right up to
the Chiltern Hills.

958
01:10:09,565 --> 01:10:11,501
I was very drunk.

959
01:10:11,564 --> 01:10:13,401
I don't doubt it.

960
01:10:16,345 --> 01:10:18,781
It was utter nonsense.

961
01:10:18,844 --> 01:10:20,967
A language I invented
for the fairies.

962
01:10:21,007 --> 01:10:25,146
I thought perhaps
I heard some Finnish.

963
01:10:25,201 --> 01:10:27,494
Yes. I stole a good deal.

964
01:10:27,534 --> 01:10:32,457
- Not stole.
- No. Languages never steal.

965
01:10:32,497 --> 01:10:35,415
- Right.
- Influenced.

966
01:10:35,455 --> 01:10:38,828
Sorry, I didn't
catch your name. I'm...

967
01:10:40,945 --> 01:10:45,383
I'm Tolkien. Ronald.
Exeter College.

968
01:11:10,555 --> 01:11:12,018
Excuse me.

969
01:11:19,861 --> 01:11:22,298
A child points...

970
01:11:23,337 --> 01:11:26,033
and is taught a word.

971
01:11:26,073 --> 01:11:27,334
Tree.

972
01:11:27,374 --> 01:11:31,780
Later, he learns to distinguish
this tree from all the others.

973
01:11:31,820 --> 01:11:34,589
He learns its particular name.

974
01:11:34,629 --> 01:11:36,585
He plays under the tree.

975
01:11:36,625 --> 01:11:39,265
He dances around it.

976
01:11:39,305 --> 01:11:44,595
Stands beneath its branches,
for shade or shelter.

977
01:11:44,635 --> 01:11:48,193
He kisses under it,
he sleeps under it,

978
01:11:48,233 --> 01:11:50,393
he weds under it.

979
01:11:50,433 --> 01:11:54,570
He marches past it
on his way to war,

980
01:11:54,711 --> 01:11:59,515
and limps back past it
on his journey home.

981
01:11:59,570 --> 01:12:03,680
A king is said to have
hidden in this tree.

982
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:08,820
A spirit may dwell
within its bark.

983
01:12:08,860 --> 01:12:11,916
Its distinctive leaves
are carved onto the tombs,

984
01:12:11,956 --> 01:12:13,838
And monuments
of his landlords.

985
01:12:13,878 --> 01:12:19,848
Its wood might have built the galleons
that saved his ancestors from invasion.

986
01:12:19,888 --> 01:12:22,290
And all this...

987
01:12:22,430 --> 01:12:26,334
the general and the specific,
the national and the personal,

988
01:12:26,374 --> 01:12:28,186
all this,

989
01:12:28,230 --> 01:12:30,124
he knows,

990
01:12:30,164 --> 01:12:32,240
and feels,

991
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:35,247
and summons, somehow,
however faintly,

992
01:12:35,287 --> 01:12:40,127
with the utterance
of a single sound.

993
01:12:42,165 --> 01:12:44,733
Oak.

994
01:12:45,851 --> 01:12:51,599
Saxon word. Proto-Germanic.
Cognates in Old Norse. Eik.

995
01:12:51,639 --> 01:12:54,120
Language is never nonsense.

996
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,709
Language is meaning.

997
01:12:56,749 --> 01:13:00,329
History.
Layer upon layer upon layer.

998
01:13:00,369 --> 01:13:04,507
And a word without meaning
is what?

999
01:13:04,609 --> 01:13:07,044
Merely a sound.

1000
01:13:07,247 --> 01:13:09,277
Someone else
once said that to me.

1001
01:13:09,317 --> 01:13:12,620
With a good deal more economy,
I shouldn't wonder.

1002
01:13:13,449 --> 01:13:17,043
There are one or two original
Gothic texts in the library.

1003
01:13:17,083 --> 01:13:18,465
You should take a look.

1004
01:13:18,505 --> 01:13:21,186
But I can't just walk in
and ask for the originals.

1005
01:13:21,226 --> 01:13:24,279
Tell them Professor Wright
sent you.

1006
01:13:39,888 --> 01:13:42,285
He wouldn't have cared.
That's not the point.

1007
01:13:42,325 --> 01:13:45,206
He's probably the greatest philologist,
certainly of the Gothic language.

1008
01:13:45,246 --> 01:13:48,184
He might have even been flattered.
Of course, he was flattered.

1009
01:13:48,224 --> 01:13:50,669
Nobody's taken that book out
of the library in 1,500 years.

1010
01:13:50,709 --> 01:13:52,379
Well, actually,
I had it out last week.

1011
01:13:52,419 --> 01:13:55,035
Oh. How did you find it?
I don't want to spoil it for Tollers.

1012
01:13:55,075 --> 01:13:56,924
He won't finish it. He doesn't
even know who wrote it.

1013
01:13:56,964 --> 01:13:58,949
Please. Will you all just
shut up? It's not funny.

1014
01:13:58,989 --> 01:14:02,984
Listen, Tolkien,
you absolute clown.

1015
01:14:03,024 --> 01:14:05,232
This is your chance,
can't you see?

1016
01:14:05,272 --> 01:14:07,902
Your Gothic professor
is encouraging you to defect.

1017
01:14:07,942 --> 01:14:11,072
What are you talking about?
He's enticing you into his class.

1018
01:14:11,112 --> 01:14:12,639
Sorry.

1019
01:14:12,679 --> 01:14:14,041
He's right.

1020
01:14:14,081 --> 01:14:16,383
But I can't just breeze
into the philology department.

1021
01:14:16,423 --> 01:14:17,273
Why not?

1022
01:14:17,313 --> 01:14:19,070
Because I don't have
a scholarship, for a start.

1023
01:14:19,110 --> 01:14:20,804
So, are you telling
me that the philology,

1024
01:14:20,844 --> 01:14:22,416
department don't give
out scholarships?

1025
01:14:22,456 --> 01:14:26,284
Yes, for someone who happens
to be a genius with languages.

1026
01:14:26,707 --> 01:14:30,345
Moron.

1027
01:14:30,681 --> 01:14:31,828
Professor!

1028
01:14:31,868 --> 01:14:33,894
- Excuse me, Professor Wright.
- Yes.

1029
01:14:33,934 --> 01:14:37,430
I've been thinking about the oak.
The symbolism of it.

1030
01:14:37,470 --> 01:14:40,355
The guardian tree,
the harbinger of change.

1031
01:14:40,395 --> 01:14:43,475
How fascinating. Are you
a student of arboriculture?

1032
01:14:43,515 --> 01:14:47,226
No. I'm studying Greats.
But I would like...

1033
01:14:47,266 --> 01:14:49,910
That's why I stopped you,
I'd like to change to your class.

1034
01:14:49,950 --> 01:14:51,830
- To study philology.
- To my class?

1035
01:14:51,870 --> 01:14:55,807
Yes. I'm Tolkien.
Ronald Tolkien.

1036
01:14:55,847 --> 01:14:58,476
I stood outside your window
and shouted obscenities in a kind of,

1037
01:14:58,516 --> 01:15:00,121
bastardized Finnish.

1038
01:15:00,161 --> 01:15:02,244
And you consider
that a recommendation?

1039
01:15:02,284 --> 01:15:03,677
I know this is irregular,

1040
01:15:03,717 --> 01:15:06,225
but I've realized
my true passion,

1041
01:15:06,265 --> 01:15:09,276
the thing I've been working on
my entire life...

1042
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:11,793
Can I speak candidly, sir?

1043
01:15:11,833 --> 01:15:15,320
You cannot conceive
how much I would welcome it.

1044
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:16,670
I need a scholarship.

1045
01:15:16,710 --> 01:15:20,456
I need a scholarship
to study philology. With you.

1046
01:15:20,496 --> 01:15:22,022
And there are no lengths
I wouldn't go to,

1047
01:15:22,062 --> 01:15:23,361
to prove that I'm
a worthy candidate.

1048
01:15:23,401 --> 01:15:25,341
- No lengths?
- Yes.

1049
01:15:30,370 --> 01:15:31,911
No.

1050
01:15:32,072 --> 01:15:33,655
- No?
- No.

1051
01:15:33,695 --> 01:15:36,124
No, because if I left you
alone to work in peace,

1052
01:15:36,164 --> 01:15:38,959
then I wouldn't get the privilege
of learning from you,

1053
01:15:38,999 --> 01:15:40,494
and that would defeat
the purpose

1054
01:15:40,534 --> 01:15:44,473
of this entire, frankly,
quite terrifying, interlude.

1055
01:15:46,027 --> 01:15:47,496
- Tolkien.
- Yes, sir.

1056
01:15:47,536 --> 01:15:49,264
- German origin.
- I think so, sir.

1057
01:15:49,304 --> 01:15:51,305
From the Anglo-Saxon, perhaps.

1058
01:15:51,345 --> 01:15:54,107
- Exactly.
- Tollkühn.

1059
01:15:54,348 --> 01:15:58,487
I'm assuming you don't need me to
translate that particular word for you.

1060
01:15:59,322 --> 01:16:00,966
Foolhardy.

1061
01:16:01,188 --> 01:16:04,552
Professor Wright...
My class is full, Mr. Tolkien.

1062
01:16:04,592 --> 01:16:08,289
Full with students who can
translate Old English,

1063
01:16:08,329 --> 01:16:10,491
at least as quickly
and skillfully as you,

1064
01:16:10,531 --> 01:16:14,062
and they've already had two
terms to establish themselves.

1065
01:16:14,102 --> 01:16:15,830
Good afternoon.

1066
01:16:15,870 --> 01:16:17,396
Helheimr.

1067
01:16:17,436 --> 01:16:20,006
Professor.

1068
01:16:20,241 --> 01:16:23,338
Since childhood, I have
been fascinated with language.

1069
01:16:23,378 --> 01:16:25,604
Obsessed with it.
I've invented my own.

1070
01:16:25,644 --> 01:16:27,864
Full, complete languages.
Look.

1071
01:16:27,904 --> 01:16:31,223
This is, it's... everything.

1072
01:16:31,263 --> 01:16:35,363
From the Breost-hord.
My heart.

1073
01:16:35,403 --> 01:16:37,374
The treasure of the breast.

1074
01:16:38,491 --> 01:16:39,723
And the drawings?

1075
01:16:39,763 --> 01:16:43,166
I made stories. Legends.

1076
01:16:43,330 --> 01:16:44,991
After all,
what is language for?

1077
01:16:45,031 --> 01:16:47,161
It's not just the naming
of things, is it?

1078
01:16:47,201 --> 01:16:50,523
It's the lifeblood
of a culture, a people.

1079
01:16:50,563 --> 01:16:53,636
- Yes. Exactly.
- Exactly.

1080
01:16:57,582 --> 01:17:03,513
Could you write 5,000 words on the
influence of Norse elements in Gawain?

1081
01:17:03,553 --> 01:17:06,880
Yes, absolutely.
When would you like it by?

1082
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:08,794
This evening.

1083
01:17:12,544 --> 01:17:14,570
This evening.

1084
01:18:04,745 --> 01:18:06,545
Middle Earth.

1085
01:18:14,289 --> 01:18:18,425
"Both of these brothers
marshaled the warriors."

1086
01:18:19,425 --> 01:18:21,822
They bid their dear kinsman
through words,

1087
01:18:21,862 --> 01:18:25,326
that they had to endure there
in time of need,

1088
01:18:25,366 --> 01:18:28,528
"make use of their weapons
without weakening".

1089
01:18:28,568 --> 01:18:33,798
The way you follow
the rhythms of the poetry,

1090
01:18:33,838 --> 01:18:35,570
your sensitivity to it.

1091
01:18:35,610 --> 01:18:38,438
I have to tell you,
Mr. Tolkien,

1092
01:18:38,478 --> 01:18:41,747
I've never come across
anything like it.

1093
01:18:41,787 --> 01:18:43,658
Never.

1094
01:18:45,595 --> 01:18:47,881
"Byrthwold spoke out..."

1095
01:18:47,921 --> 01:18:51,038
"Byrthwold spoke out,
brandished his shield..."

1096
01:18:51,078 --> 01:18:55,621
War! War! England's at war!

1097
01:18:55,661 --> 01:18:58,866
Germany's invaded Belgium!

1098
01:19:08,159 --> 01:19:11,766
"He instructed the warriors
most boldly of all:."

1099
01:19:14,704 --> 01:19:17,342
Courage must be the harder

1100
01:19:18,295 --> 01:19:20,346
heart the keener

1101
01:19:20,386 --> 01:19:24,626
spirits the greater,
as our strength wanes.

1102
01:19:25,860 --> 01:19:32,272
Here lies our lord, entirely cut
to pieces "a good man in the dirt".

1103
01:20:24,049 --> 01:20:26,923
Here you go, Chris.

1104
01:20:30,057 --> 01:20:32,174
Ladies and gentlemen,
Robert Gilson.

1105
01:20:32,214 --> 01:20:34,322
Gilson!

1106
01:20:34,362 --> 01:20:36,829
Aren't you going to ask me to dance?
Did you lose a bet?

1107
01:20:36,869 --> 01:20:38,939
I've had three envious
glances already, actually.

1108
01:20:38,979 --> 01:20:40,695
People must have mistaken you
for the Kaiser.

1109
01:20:40,735 --> 01:20:42,595
What is this?
A war or a tea dance?

1110
01:20:42,635 --> 01:20:44,999
- First-class mustache, Gilson.
- Why, thank you.

1111
01:20:45,039 --> 01:20:49,233
- You need a drink, young man.
- On the ball.

1112
01:20:49,273 --> 01:20:51,517
I think
we're all here, Tolkien.

1113
01:20:51,557 --> 01:20:53,449
Yes.

1114
01:20:53,728 --> 01:20:56,032
Shall we make a toast?

1115
01:20:56,072 --> 01:20:59,512
To all the future
T.C.B.S. meetings.

1116
01:20:59,552 --> 01:21:01,525
All across Europe.

1117
01:21:05,555 --> 01:21:07,457
Cheers, gentlemen.

1118
01:21:08,606 --> 01:21:11,847
- Gentlemen! May I?
- I don't see why not.

1119
01:21:11,887 --> 01:21:14,246
Eyes front, Tolkien.

1120
01:21:20,155 --> 01:21:23,040
And watch the birdie!

1121
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:25,982
Helheimr!

1122
01:21:26,354 --> 01:21:28,442
I've just written a
play where a French waitress,

1123
01:21:28,482 --> 01:21:30,076
falls madly in love
with an English hero.

1124
01:21:30,116 --> 01:21:32,947
You'll have to shave if you
want to play a French waitress.

1125
01:21:32,987 --> 01:21:34,745
Cheers. Never too many.
One more?

1126
01:21:34,785 --> 01:21:37,428
All bets Wiseman goes to sleep first.
I'll take that bet. Scotch?

1127
01:21:37,468 --> 01:21:39,602
Easy money.

1128
01:21:46,592 --> 01:21:49,263
Good luck, Ronald.

1129
01:21:49,981 --> 01:21:52,738
I'll take that.

1130
01:21:52,778 --> 01:21:55,819
I'll try and hold the ship.

1131
01:22:01,014 --> 01:22:03,594
- How's your brother?
- He's fine.

1132
01:22:03,634 --> 01:22:05,472
He's in France already.

1133
01:22:06,754 --> 01:22:09,164
How about you?
How's your music?

1134
01:22:09,204 --> 01:22:11,325
I teach piano.

1135
01:22:11,365 --> 01:22:13,593
Small girls, mostly.

1136
01:22:13,633 --> 01:22:16,201
Not very good.

1137
01:22:16,366 --> 01:22:18,803
And you're engaged.

1138
01:22:19,631 --> 01:22:21,966
He's very kind.

1139
01:22:22,013 --> 01:22:23,503
Very considerate.

1140
01:22:23,543 --> 01:22:24,677
A good person, really.

1141
01:22:24,717 --> 01:22:27,261
There is something I have to say...
Ronald.

1142
01:22:27,301 --> 01:22:31,761
I made the biggest mistake of my life
and there hasn't been a day, a moment...

1143
01:22:31,801 --> 01:22:34,191
I've never stopped
thinking about you.

1144
01:22:34,231 --> 01:22:38,145
You are the most remarkable
spirit I have ever met.

1145
01:22:38,185 --> 01:22:41,841
You have courage
and resourcefulness, talent...

1146
01:22:42,232 --> 01:22:45,652
you're proud,
maddeningly, wonderfully, so...

1147
01:22:45,692 --> 01:22:49,223
And you are
cunning and vibrant...

1148
01:22:49,263 --> 01:22:52,000
and completely alive.

1149
01:22:52,633 --> 01:22:56,304
You deserve
every happiness you find.

1150
01:22:58,194 --> 01:23:00,597
No. No, you don't.

1151
01:23:00,707 --> 01:23:03,946
You don't deserve happiness,
that's not what I...

1152
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:08,347
What I mean is...

1153
01:23:09,250 --> 01:23:11,821
You deserve much more.

1154
01:23:12,688 --> 01:23:15,110
You deserve magic.

1155
01:23:36,027 --> 01:23:37,827
Is it that one?

1156
01:23:38,644 --> 01:23:40,800
It's the Ascanius.

1157
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:44,540
Sounds like something
out of one of your stories.

1158
01:23:45,083 --> 01:23:49,419
Yes. "Pity the poor citizens
of the kingdom of Ascanius."

1159
01:23:49,459 --> 01:23:51,696
Why shall we pity them?

1160
01:23:51,759 --> 01:23:54,562
For their terrible history.

1161
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:56,799
For their shame.

1162
01:23:56,839 --> 01:23:58,639
Their regrets.

1163
01:24:01,238 --> 01:24:03,373
They should
forgive themselves.

1164
01:24:03,537 --> 01:24:05,227
They can't.

1165
01:24:06,839 --> 01:24:09,103
Lancashires
on the Ascanius!

1166
01:24:09,143 --> 01:24:11,245
I'd better...

1167
01:24:12,120 --> 01:24:14,527
This has been so nice.

1168
01:24:17,861 --> 01:24:20,428
Goodbye, little one.

1169
01:24:51,781 --> 01:24:53,581
Edith.

1170
01:24:59,234 --> 01:25:01,608
- I love you.
- I love you.

1171
01:25:01,648 --> 01:25:04,558
- I love you so much.
- I know.

1172
01:25:04,598 --> 01:25:08,837
There's nothing I could do about it.
I know. I can't either.

1173
01:25:13,969 --> 01:25:16,197
I have to go.

1174
01:25:17,092 --> 01:25:19,209
- Stay alive.
- Yes.

1175
01:25:19,249 --> 01:25:21,673
And come back to me.

1176
01:25:22,143 --> 01:25:25,400
Stay alive
and come back to me.

1177
01:26:00,687 --> 01:26:03,651
Sir, I found them.
Get up!

1178
01:26:03,691 --> 01:26:06,268
- I found the 19th Lancashires.
- Geoff.

1179
01:26:06,308 --> 01:26:08,140
You have to get up, sir.

1180
01:26:08,180 --> 01:26:11,282
Let's find your friend.
We're almost there.

1181
01:26:13,593 --> 01:26:15,228
Fire!

1182
01:26:15,268 --> 01:26:17,369
Get up the ladder!

1183
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:23,370
Attach your bayonets!

1184
01:26:23,410 --> 01:26:25,754
I can't do it.
Come on, Private. Come on!

1185
01:26:25,794 --> 01:26:27,594
Geoffrey!

1186
01:26:28,084 --> 01:26:31,201
This way! Quickly!
Right, you Lancashires!

1187
01:26:31,241 --> 01:26:33,700
Geoffrey!

1188
01:26:35,055 --> 01:26:37,788
Where's Geoffrey Bache Smith?
Lieutenant Geoffrey Bache Smith?

1189
01:26:37,828 --> 01:26:39,968
Bache Smith isn't here.
He's already gone over the top.

1190
01:26:40,008 --> 01:26:42,675
- No!
- Yes. Sorry.

1191
01:26:43,492 --> 01:26:44,857
Geoffrey!

1192
01:26:44,897 --> 01:26:47,360
Don't stop for wounded.
Geoffrey!

1193
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:49,459
- Sir, what are you doing? Wait!
- Don't follow me.

1194
01:26:49,499 --> 01:26:53,084
Up the ladder, Lancashires!
Geoff!

1195
01:26:53,124 --> 01:26:55,392
Geoffrey!

1196
01:26:59,992 --> 01:27:02,929
Don't slow down!

1197
01:27:04,014 --> 01:27:05,681
Geoff!

1198
01:27:05,721 --> 01:27:07,254
Ronald!

1199
01:27:07,294 --> 01:27:09,126
Geoff!

1200
01:27:10,996 --> 01:27:13,055
Geoff!

1201
01:27:15,195 --> 01:27:18,048
Geoff!
Ronald!

1202
01:27:18,088 --> 01:27:20,458
Geoffrey!

1203
01:27:21,424 --> 01:27:24,597
Ronald!

1204
01:27:27,534 --> 01:27:29,334
Geoff!

1205
01:27:32,446 --> 01:27:34,190
What?

1206
01:27:34,230 --> 01:27:36,133
Ronald!

1207
01:27:36,992 --> 01:27:38,109
Geoff!

1208
01:27:38,149 --> 01:27:41,005
Ronald!

1209
01:27:41,045 --> 01:27:42,852
Ronald!

1210
01:27:45,154 --> 01:27:47,891
Geoff!

1211
01:27:48,782 --> 01:27:50,902
Geoffrey!

1212
01:28:35,593 --> 01:28:37,368
Gas!

1213
01:28:41,647 --> 01:28:44,019
Get that bloody mask on!

1214
01:28:45,620 --> 01:28:48,525
Gas!

1215
01:30:45,256 --> 01:30:46,976
Hello.

1216
01:30:50,623 --> 01:30:52,961
Don't try to sit up.

1217
01:30:59,452 --> 01:31:01,919
You've been a sleep
for a very long time.

1218
01:31:01,959 --> 01:31:05,878
You've had trench fever,
but you're all right.

1219
01:31:05,918 --> 01:31:08,689
You're home.

1220
01:31:11,097 --> 01:31:13,672
I tried to find him.

1221
01:31:15,046 --> 01:31:16,434
Who?

1222
01:31:16,474 --> 01:31:18,274
Geoffrey, I...

1223
01:31:19,134 --> 01:31:21,204
I heard him...

1224
01:31:22,228 --> 01:31:24,299
I could hear him.

1225
01:31:27,350 --> 01:31:30,633
Geoffrey is... is dead.

1226
01:31:31,287 --> 01:31:33,883
He died weeks ago.

1227
01:31:33,992 --> 01:31:35,795
What?

1228
01:31:36,522 --> 01:31:37,451
No.

1229
01:31:37,491 --> 01:31:39,725
Robert Gilson, he was...

1230
01:31:39,897 --> 01:31:41,902
he was hit.

1231
01:31:43,863 --> 01:31:46,035
He's also dead.

1232
01:31:48,035 --> 01:31:50,452
Robbie and Geoffrey.

1233
01:31:50,492 --> 01:31:52,762
I'm sorry.

1234
01:31:53,020 --> 01:31:55,758
Ron, I'm so sorry.

1235
01:31:58,672 --> 01:32:02,154
But you're fine. You're home.
Every...

1236
01:32:02,194 --> 01:32:05,440
Everything's going to be fine.
I promise.

1237
01:32:13,527 --> 01:32:18,906
I spend my every afternoon
with mothers, widows.

1238
01:32:20,099 --> 01:32:22,704
What can I say to them?

1239
01:32:23,704 --> 01:32:27,775
Your sons have died
in the war to end all wars.

1240
01:32:28,587 --> 01:32:30,822
What do you say?

1241
01:32:32,010 --> 01:32:33,668
Words are useless.

1242
01:32:33,708 --> 01:32:36,781
Modern words, anyway.

1243
01:32:37,844 --> 01:32:40,279
I speak the liturgy.

1244
01:32:41,333 --> 01:32:45,739
There's a comfort, I think,
in distance.

1245
01:32:45,826 --> 01:32:47,897
Ancient things.

1246
01:32:50,795 --> 01:32:53,326
Throughout the whole
of your illness,

1247
01:32:53,366 --> 01:32:56,704
Miss Bratt
never left your bedside.

1248
01:32:57,602 --> 01:32:59,406
Not once.

1249
01:33:02,150 --> 01:33:04,689
You were right to pursue her.

1250
01:33:08,696 --> 01:33:10,680
Thank you.

1251
01:33:12,184 --> 01:33:16,279
Oh. This arrived for you via...

1252
01:33:16,319 --> 01:33:18,356
a very circuitous route.

1253
01:33:20,559 --> 01:33:24,398
He wrote it, I believe,
during his last days.

1254
01:33:40,127 --> 01:33:42,761
My dear John Ronald,

1255
01:33:42,848 --> 01:33:46,312
It is my chief consolation,
that if I am scuppered tonight

1256
01:33:46,352 --> 01:33:49,616
there will still be left
a great member of the T.C.B.S.,

1257
01:33:49,656 --> 01:33:53,420
to voice what I dreamed
and what we all agreed upon.

1258
01:33:53,460 --> 01:33:55,755
That the death
of one of its members cannot,

1259
01:33:55,795 --> 01:33:59,541
I am determined,
dissolve the T.C.B.S.

1260
01:34:00,200 --> 01:34:04,330
Death can make us loathsome
and helpless as individuals,

1261
01:34:04,370 --> 01:34:07,716
but it cannot put an end
to the immortal four!

1262
01:34:07,756 --> 01:34:10,522
May God bless you,
my dear John Ronald,

1263
01:34:10,562 --> 01:34:13,005
and may you say the things
I have tried to say,

1264
01:34:13,045 --> 01:34:16,306
long after I am not there
to say them.

1265
01:35:01,998 --> 01:35:05,767
Good evening, Professor Tolkien.
Evening, sir.

1266
01:35:44,137 --> 01:35:46,688
What are you doing out here?

1267
01:36:02,570 --> 01:36:05,475
We had a jam pudding today
with the children.

1268
01:36:06,443 --> 01:36:08,444
Michael's request.

1269
01:36:09,594 --> 01:36:12,858
He and John put a tray
outside your study.

1270
01:36:12,898 --> 01:36:14,718
I hope you had some.

1271
01:36:14,758 --> 01:36:16,810
I'm sorry, I...

1272
01:36:19,673 --> 01:36:21,473
I'm sorry.

1273
01:36:23,409 --> 01:36:26,943
Edith, it was a very difficult day.
Nothing I'm writing...

1274
01:36:28,027 --> 01:36:30,396
You used to write for pleasure.
I know, it's...

1275
01:36:30,436 --> 01:36:33,827
It was a passion.
I know it's...

1276
01:36:34,787 --> 01:36:36,866
pointless.

1277
01:36:46,866 --> 01:36:49,429
I wish you would decide what it
is you want from it, Ronald,

1278
01:36:49,469 --> 01:36:51,580
or abandon it entirely.

1279
01:37:38,117 --> 01:37:39,985
Mr. Tolkien?

1280
01:37:41,185 --> 01:37:43,063
Mrs. Smith.

1281
01:37:43,956 --> 01:37:47,118
It's wonderful to see you.
Thank you for coming.

1282
01:37:48,495 --> 01:37:51,857
Robert Gilson was the...

1283
01:37:51,897 --> 01:37:54,165
son of the headmaster
at King Edward's.

1284
01:37:54,205 --> 01:37:55,957
Yes, that's right.

1285
01:37:55,997 --> 01:37:58,205
I remember the stepmother,
I think.

1286
01:37:58,245 --> 01:38:00,866
And Christopher Wiseman?

1287
01:38:00,906 --> 01:38:03,276
He survived.

1288
01:38:04,190 --> 01:38:06,593
Although I'm sorry
to say he's...

1289
01:38:07,781 --> 01:38:12,255
Some of us who came through
have other sorts of scars.

1290
01:38:16,255 --> 01:38:19,043
My sister lost three sons.

1291
01:38:19,083 --> 01:38:21,744
I lost two.

1292
01:38:21,784 --> 01:38:24,282
All in the same week.

1293
01:38:25,365 --> 01:38:27,251
I'm sorry.

1294
01:38:32,637 --> 01:38:35,290
And this is where you sat.

1295
01:38:36,354 --> 01:38:38,157
Yes.

1296
01:38:38,790 --> 01:38:41,995
It's very cozy.

1297
01:38:43,065 --> 01:38:45,735
Thank you
for bringing me here.

1298
01:38:46,585 --> 01:38:49,974
I can imagine, I can...

1299
01:38:50,092 --> 01:38:52,251
see you here.

1300
01:38:52,291 --> 01:38:54,086
All of you.

1301
01:38:54,126 --> 01:38:56,147
I can picture it.

1302
01:38:56,187 --> 01:38:59,927
It must have been
a wonderfully happy time.

1303
01:39:02,997 --> 01:39:05,208
This is where Geoffrey sat.

1304
01:39:14,412 --> 01:39:17,550
I was wondering,
with your permission,

1305
01:39:18,761 --> 01:39:22,857
perhaps I might try to get
a volume of his poems published.

1306
01:39:23,435 --> 01:39:25,636
His poems?

1307
01:39:26,885 --> 01:39:30,089
I think he was...
really very talented.

1308
01:39:30,129 --> 01:39:32,326
I would like to bring him
to people's attention.

1309
01:39:32,366 --> 01:39:36,079
I thought, perhaps, I could
write the foreword myself.

1310
01:39:36,119 --> 01:39:38,589
I don't know, I...

1311
01:39:39,550 --> 01:39:41,667
I'm inclined to say no,
Mr. Tolkien.

1312
01:39:41,707 --> 01:39:45,142
He was really very good.
I think it's important.

1313
01:39:47,598 --> 01:39:50,634
I used to be fond of poetry.

1314
01:39:50,782 --> 01:39:54,134
I sometimes wondered
if that was where Geoffrey...

1315
01:39:58,825 --> 01:40:02,931
I'm sorry, I can't see what
possible good it would do.

1316
01:40:03,662 --> 01:40:07,712
It would do the most extraordinary good.
Please believe me.

1317
01:40:10,174 --> 01:40:12,242
I never knew Geoffrey...

1318
01:40:13,336 --> 01:40:16,108
as much as I would have liked.

1319
01:40:17,952 --> 01:40:20,188
Was he happy?

1320
01:40:20,305 --> 01:40:23,711
Please, tell me.

1321
01:40:25,625 --> 01:40:28,099
Did he know love?

1322
01:40:33,099 --> 01:40:35,008
I was an orphan

1323
01:40:35,048 --> 01:40:37,767
when I came to King Edward's.

1324
01:40:38,115 --> 01:40:41,084
And even at the beginning,
even...

1325
01:40:41,256 --> 01:40:43,927
before we were friends,

1326
01:40:44,724 --> 01:40:46,594
Geoffrey was gentle.

1327
01:40:48,695 --> 01:40:50,798
Kind.

1328
01:40:51,619 --> 01:40:55,915
He was, I think, of anyone I ever
met, the person...

1329
01:40:57,115 --> 01:41:01,399
He was the person who most embodied,
what it means to love.

1330
01:41:04,169 --> 01:41:06,286
And to be loved.

1331
01:41:06,326 --> 01:41:08,329
Truly that's...

1332
01:41:12,303 --> 01:41:15,018
That's why this is so important.
Please...

1333
01:41:15,058 --> 01:41:17,561
forgive me, but you ask...

1334
01:41:17,749 --> 01:41:20,048
what good it could
do, and the...

1335
01:41:20,088 --> 01:41:21,995
poets...

1336
01:41:22,986 --> 01:41:24,786
the writers...

1337
01:41:25,281 --> 01:41:27,853
or what our art could do.

1338
01:41:30,835 --> 01:41:32,646
I cannot think of anything
more necessary.

1339
01:41:32,686 --> 01:41:36,329
Especially at a time like this.
Especially now.

1340
01:41:56,352 --> 01:41:59,149
A foreword would be lovely.

1341
01:42:01,884 --> 01:42:03,737
Thank you.

1342
01:42:20,933 --> 01:42:24,416
Remember how mother
made us kiss the trees?

1343
01:42:24,456 --> 01:42:26,624
And listen to them talk.

1344
01:42:26,671 --> 01:42:28,910
What dark magic was that?

1345
01:42:28,950 --> 01:42:30,936
Come on, you savages.

1346
01:42:30,976 --> 01:42:32,037
Come on.

1347
01:42:32,077 --> 01:42:35,479
Who wants to speak to the trees?
Hey, wait for me.

1348
01:42:37,450 --> 01:42:39,978
What are you thinking?
What's your name?

1349
01:42:40,018 --> 01:42:42,863
We're not scary.
Don't be worried.

1350
01:42:42,903 --> 01:42:45,817
Children, I need your help.
Will you do something for me?

1351
01:42:45,857 --> 01:42:47,286
Is it homework?

1352
01:42:47,326 --> 01:42:50,276
No, not if I get it right.
I want you to listen to a story.

1353
01:42:50,316 --> 01:42:52,690
What story?
Is it a good story?

1354
01:42:52,730 --> 01:42:55,122
I hope so.
Is it long?

1355
01:42:55,162 --> 01:42:56,595
Extremely long.

1356
01:42:56,635 --> 01:42:59,299
Has it been started?

1357
01:42:59,339 --> 01:43:01,568
Yes, I think...

1358
01:43:01,608 --> 01:43:04,437
I think, up here, yes,
I think it has.

1359
01:43:04,477 --> 01:43:06,109
What's it about?

1360
01:43:06,149 --> 01:43:09,185
It's about journeys.
Adventures.

1361
01:43:09,326 --> 01:43:11,600
Magic, of course.

1362
01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:13,552
Treasure.

1363
01:43:13,592 --> 01:43:15,392
And love.

1364
01:43:18,525 --> 01:43:22,298
It's about all kinds of things, really.
It's hard to say. I suppose...

1365
01:43:22,499 --> 01:43:24,928
I suppose it's about quests,
to a certain extent.

1366
01:43:24,968 --> 01:43:27,828
The journeys we take
to prove ourselves.

1367
01:43:27,868 --> 01:43:30,413
About courage.

1368
01:43:40,679 --> 01:43:43,119
Fellowship.

1369
01:43:46,024 --> 01:43:48,462
It's about fellowship.

1370
01:43:51,557 --> 01:43:53,712
Friendship.

1371
01:43:57,200 --> 01:43:59,606
- Little people just like you.
- I'm not little!

1372
01:43:59,646 --> 01:44:02,009
No. Little in stature.

1373
01:44:02,049 --> 01:44:04,097
Not little in spirit.

1374
01:44:04,137 --> 01:44:07,165
It's about wizards, too.
Wizards? Wizards, yes.

1375
01:44:07,205 --> 01:44:10,881
And mountains,
and dragons, and journeys...

1376
01:44:10,921 --> 01:44:13,139
Christopher, if you
break your neck wearing those,

1377
01:44:13,179 --> 01:44:17,330
I will not be taking you
to the hospital.

1378
