1. where we came in?
Copy !req
2. Todd.
Copy !req
3. All right, Todd?
Copy !req
4. Gracias.
Copy !req
5. De nada.
Copy !req
6. Could I have just
a small glass of cheap white wine?
Copy !req
7. Thank you.
Copy !req
8. Pomps?
Copy !req
9. What's the answer?
Copy !req
10. Oh, we're not going to a hotel.
Copy !req
11. We are going home.
Copy !req
12. Lights!
Copy !req
13. Roll the sound effects!
Copy !req
14. And action!
Copy !req
15. Drop it on them.
Copy !req
16. Drop it on them!
Copy !req
17. You!
Copy !req
18. Yes, you!
Copy !req
19. Stand still, laddie!
Copy !req
20. Wrong! Do it again!
Copy !req
21. If you don't eat your meat,
Copy !req
22. you can't have any pudding!
Copy !req
23. How can you have any pudding
if you don't eat your meat?
Copy !req
24. You!
Copy !req
25. Yes! You behind the bikesheds.
Copy !req
26. Stand still, laddie!
Copy !req
27. I would like
Copy !req
28. to dedicate this concert
Copy !req
29. to him
Copy !req
30. and to all the other victims of state terror
Copy !req
31. everywhere, all over the world.
Copy !req
32. When I was young myself
Copy !req
33. We played in London.
Copy !req
34. We filmed some shows there.
Copy !req
35. I have a small piece of film here tonight.
Copy !req
36. And this... ah?
Copy !req
37. is a clip of me singing the song Mother.
Copy !req
38. I will try to sing a double track vocal
Copy !req
39. and play the acoustic guitar
Copy !req
40. with that poor, miserable,
fucked up little Roger
Copy !req
41. from all those years ago.
Copy !req
42. So!
Copy !req
43. Wish us luck!
Copy !req
44. Merci.
Copy !req
45. Well, thank you.
Copy !req
46. I feel as if we've been driving
around in circles for hours.
Copy !req
47. Well, it's the landscape, isn't it?
Copy !req
48. Yeah. It's the French, I think.
Copy !req
49. Where was I?
Copy !req
50. Oh, yeah, there's that movie
about a Russian lorry driver
Copy !req
51. and he breaks down in Mongolia.
Copy !req
52. There's this scene
where he gets very, very drunk
Copy !req
53. and he makes this long,
impassioned speech
Copy !req
54. about the fact that he can't
remember his grandfather's name.
Copy !req
55. When I saw that
it was like a dagger in my heart.
Copy !req
56. And I went, "Oh, my God."
Copy !req
57. I thought, "My grandfather,
Copy !req
58. what the fuck
was my grandfather's name?"
Copy !req
59. And I panicked.
Copy !req
60. And a few seconds later,
through the panic,
Copy !req
61. I went, "George Henry."
Copy !req
62. He was killed here in 1916.
Copy !req
63. I mean, it's impossible to imagine
what it must have been like.
Copy !req
64. Pitch black, frightened out of your wits.
Copy !req
65. The guys in the trenches
must have realised pretty early on
Copy !req
66. that the people
who were making the decisions
Copy !req
67. had no fucking idea what they were doing.
Copy !req
68. Of course not.
Copy !req
69. The whole thing was insane,
had been from the beginning,
Copy !req
70. and would go on being crazy
Copy !req
71. until the end when they
called it a draw and went home.
Copy !req
72. And how old was your father
when his father died?
Copy !req
73. Two.
Copy !req
74. So that's two wars that took away
Copy !req
75. even the direct memory of fathers
from two sons.
Copy !req
76. Yeah.
Copy !req
77. "Most rulers lie,
Copy !req
78. "yet lies are less shocking, less corrosive
Copy !req
79. "than the chosen, cultivated ignorance
Chevallier addresses here.
Copy !req
80. "This ignorance denies the reality
of anything which provokes pity.
Copy !req
81. "It is an error to think of such war leaders,
Copy !req
82. "or, today, economic strategists,
as pitiless.
Copy !req
83. "They are abject.
Copy !req
84. "This is what we have to learn
and to act upon.
Copy !req
85. "They are abject."
Copy !req
86. George Henry, hewer of coal.
Copy !req
87. It's been an ambition of mine
to come here with you three.
Copy !req
88. Two great-grandsons,
great-granddaughter, and a grandson.
Copy !req
89. It's two million men. Amazing.
Copy !req
90. You can plan
to meet people in your dreams.
Copy !req
91. - Can you?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
92. Well, when you go to bed tonight,
Copy !req
93. I want you to plan to meet George Henry
in your dreams.
Copy !req
94. I once dreamt
that I jumped down a hill,
Copy !req
95. but I landed near a bear and it ate me.
Copy !req
96. It's possible that you were
having anxieties about the Russians.
Copy !req
97. Or just bears in general.
Copy !req
98. That's possible too.
Copy !req
99. I've never been in control of a dream
where I went, "Oh, I'm dreaming.
Copy !req
100. "Now I can do this, or that, or the other."
Copy !req
101. I had that once and then I lost control,
Copy !req
102. and started getting attacked
by World War 2-era Japanese soldiers.
Copy !req
103. You were getting attacked
by Japanese soldiers?
Copy !req
104. - Yeah.
- Wow.
Copy !req
105. Look, Mummy.
There's an aeroplane up in the sky.
Copy !req
106. As for her maid,
Copy !req
107. she can have her meal
with the kitchen help.
Copy !req
108. Very good, sir.
Copy !req
109. If you'll just let me know
as soon as you can.
Copy !req
110. Where are we?
Copy !req
111. France.
Copy !req
112. And where are we on our way to?
Copy !req
113. Italy.
Copy !req
114. That's right, we are.
Copy !req
115. We'll have to go through tunnels.
Copy !req
116. I hope so.
Copy !req
117. Do you remember the last time
we went through tunnels?
Copy !req
118. We must have been 17 or 18.
Copy !req
119. We were on our way to Baghdad.
Copy !req
120. No, we weren't. It was Istanbul.
Copy !req
121. Was it?
Copy !req
122. We did go through Greece, though.
Copy !req
123. And we climbed Mount Olympus.
Copy !req
124. Do you remember
being attacked by that dog?
Copy !req
125. No.
Copy !req
126. Do you remember a storm?
Copy !req
127. - No, I don't.
Copy !req
128. - We're doing well, then.
Copy !req
129. The human memory is a fallible device.
Copy !req
130. Certainly at our age.
Copy !req
131. Yeah, and that it's not something
that one should pay too much attention to.
Copy !req
132. Do you want to hear the story of the
thunderstorm that you don't remember?
Copy !req
133. - Yes, please.
- All right.
Copy !req
134. So, we're going along...
Copy !req
135. and there was a thunderclap.
Copy !req
136. The sound and the light
were simultaneous.
Copy !req
137. And in that moment,
I completely lost my identity
Copy !req
138. for about one second.
Copy !req
139. And in that one second,
I knew that I was unlimited.
Copy !req
140. - I was on that mountaintop.
- Mmm.
Copy !req
141. Probably no further from you
than that car.
Copy !req
142. - Absolutely.
- And I don't remember any thunderbolt.
Copy !req
143. No.
Copy !req
144. So you're implying it might not
have happened at all.
Copy !req
145. I'm not!
Copy !req
146. I mean, well, yeah,
I am, of course I am.
Copy !req
147. But on the other hand,
Copy !req
148. it might easily have happened
and I just don't remember it.
Copy !req
149. - Right.
- Maybe I was struck.
Copy !req
150. I used to have this dream...
Copy !req
151. and the dream was
that I'd murdered somebody,
Copy !req
152. and I felt unbelievably guilty about it.
Copy !req
153. Finally, one day, I figured out that
I thought I'd killed my father.
Copy !req
154. - Mmm-hmm.
- And I never had the dream again.
Copy !req
155. That child in me, who took responsibility
for everything that happened around me,
Copy !req
156. I carried that into middle life.
Copy !req
157. I don't have to have that dream any more,
and I never have.
Copy !req
158. Right.
Copy !req
159. Well, I've certainly never remembered it.
Copy !req
160. Well, all I will say,
since the only thing I really mentioned
Copy !req
161. is Zeus revealing my unlimitedness...
Copy !req
162. Right.
Copy !req
163. is, I was in New York...
Copy !req
164. because Nancy had
had her second son there,
Copy !req
165. and I'm holding him like that,
and he looks at me, and he smiles.
Copy !req
166. And of course, we're programmed
to respond to that smile,
Copy !req
167. and he's programmed to give it.
Copy !req
168. But that isn't what I thought.
Copy !req
169. What I thought was,
the light that came from him
Copy !req
170. and which illuminated everything
Copy !req
171. was identical to what happened to me
when I was 18
Copy !req
172. and Zeus blessed me with a thunderbolt.
Copy !req
173. But that is all there is.
There's just that.
Copy !req
174. The smile of one's grandson,
and the blessing of the King of the Gods.
Copy !req
175. And they're the same thing.
Copy !req
176. I can tell you that.
Copy !req
177. Roger, darling, did I ever tell you
my story of escaping from Budapest?
Copy !req
178. Once or twice.
Copy !req
179. A civilian national security force...
Copy !req
180. Santé.
Copy !req
181. Merci.
Copy !req
182. Merci.
Copy !req
183. François.
Copy !req
184. Probably doesn't matter much.
Copy !req
185. I won't be long.
Copy !req
186. I just needed to stop for a drink
Copy !req
187. because, um, I'm on my way to Italy.
Copy !req
188. I know you don't understand,
and that's okay.
Copy !req
189. So, I'd like one more for the road,
and then I'm out of here.
Copy !req
190. Merci.
Copy !req
191. So they landed at Salerno.
Copy !req
192. Up through the boot,
until they reached Monte Cassino.
Copy !req
193. And there, they stopped.
Copy !req
194. It was the Germans,
on the top of the hill, like that,
Copy !req
195. and the river was through here.
Copy !req
196. So they decided
that they would leave men here
Copy !req
197. and they would take to the sea,
and they'd go up here,
Copy !req
198. and that they would
create a bridgehead here.
Copy !req
199. Just south of Rome.
Copy !req
200. At Anzio.
Copy !req
201. So they did, in January 1944.
Copy !req
202. And my father went in,
Copy !req
203. and they reinforced
the bridgehead in Anzio.
Copy !req
204. And they were overrun.
Copy !req
205. So this guy died.
Copy !req
206. And that's why I'm going to Anzio.
Copy !req
207. Because I've never seen the memorial
to my father, Eric.
Copy !req
208. So, that's the story.
Copy !req
209. I know you don't understand,
but I think I'll have one more, for the road.
Copy !req
210. Dear Roger, huh, I don't think
Copy !req
211. I ever told you my
two escapes from Hungary.
Copy !req
212. The first one in 1944,
from the German occupation.
Copy !req
213. I was seven years old.
Copy !req
214. Our building was surrounded
by the Hungarian SS.
Copy !req
215. We were having lunch,
and the maid brought the soup,
Copy !req
216. and she suddenly started shouting,
"You've got to come immediately and look,
Copy !req
217. "because all the Jews
are being taken out of the building."
Copy !req
218. And my father said, "We have to leave
right now, without anything."
Copy !req
219. And we got up, and left our apartment.
Copy !req
220. And as we came down,
I saw a person run for his life,
Copy !req
221. and two seconds later, two Hungarian SS
running after him with a drawn gun.
Copy !req
222. My father said,
"Whatever you do, you must not look,"
Copy !req
223. and opened the front door,
and at that second I heard the gunshots.
Copy !req
224. And we're out in the street,
and I daren't look, but I did look,
Copy !req
225. and there I saw
the first dead body of my life.
Copy !req
226. We walked past this dead body
to the street corner
Copy !req
227. and we managed to get away unnoticed.
Copy !req
228. We hid, for the rest of the war,
next door to the Gestapo.
Copy !req
229. Eventually, the war ended,
very undramatically
Copy !req
230. and we went back to Budapest.
Copy !req
231. And when we walked back
into the apartment,
Copy !req
232. on the table were the four soup plates
in the dining room,
Copy !req
233. you know, still with the soup, dry, in it.
Copy !req
234. And as a child, I could not believe
Copy !req
235. how this place could have survived
Copy !req
236. all the destruction which happened
in Europe and in the world,
Copy !req
237. but the four plates were not touched.
Copy !req
238. Here I was, staring at the table,
Copy !req
239. not understanding
how time stood still at that place there.
Copy !req
240. Well, we got an hour of daylight left.
Copy !req
241. We better get started.
Copy !req
242. Is it unsafe to travel at night?
Copy !req
243. It'll be a lot less safe to stay here.
Copy !req
244. Your father's gonna
pick up our trail before long.
Copy !req
245. Can Lorka ride?
Copy !req
246. Yeah, I can ride.
Copy !req
247. Lorka, time to go!
Copy !req
248. Thank you for everything.
Copy !req
249. Surprise, surprise, surprise!
Copy !req
250. - Where the hell are you, Simon?
Copy !req
251. What concerns me
is the other end of it...
Copy !req
252. which is the attachment to dogma...
Copy !req
253. which translates into political action,
which kills people.
Copy !req
254. - And that's...
- Well, I'm with you on that, mate.
Copy !req
255. On the tour,
Copy !req
256. I invite about 20 wounded veterans
to the show each night.
Copy !req
257. There was one guy.
Copy !req
258. And he just nodded,
and then he put his hand out,
Copy !req
259. and I grabbed his hand like that
to shake his hand,
Copy !req
260. and he wouldn't let go of my hand.
Copy !req
261. So I thought, "Okay, he obviously
wants to say something."
Copy !req
262. And he stood there
and he looked at me straight in the eyes.
Copy !req
263. Very kind of weird, piercing look.
Copy !req
264. And then he said...
Copy !req
265. "Your father would be proud of you."
Copy !req
266. And it was a very weird moment.
Copy !req
267. I just...
Copy !req
268. I just sort of turned to jelly, really,
Copy !req
269. and I felt myself welling up.
Copy !req
270. I'll never forget him.
Copy !req
271. Are there any paranoids...
Copy !req
272. in the stadium tonight?
Copy !req
273. This is for you!
Copy !req
274. It's called Run Like Hell!
Copy !req
275. We shall clap.
Copy !req
276. Louder!
Copy !req
277. Follow me!
Copy !req
278. That's better. Altogether now!
Copy !req
279. Enjoy yourselves!
Copy !req
280. We're waiting
to succeed and going to convene
Copy !req
281. outside Brixton Town Hall
where we're going to be...
Copy !req
282. We'll be moving along
Copy !req
283. at about 12 o'clock down Stockwell Road.
Copy !req
284. 12 minutes to 3:00
we'll be moving along
Copy !req
285. Lambeth Road towards Vauxhall Bridge.
Copy !req
286. Now when we get to
the other side of Vauxhall Bridge,
Copy !req
287. we're in Westminster Borough area.
Copy !req
288. It's quite possible
we may encounter some...
Copy !req
289. by the way we go.
Copy !req
290. This is a big thank you
from Graham Broad.
Copy !req
291. And from me, muchas gracias.
Copy !req
292. Thank you.
Copy !req
293. Thank you!
Copy !req
294. Isn't this...
Copy !req
