00:01:20 (CROWD CHEERING)
00:01:24 He tried to kidnap me
00:01:27 So hang on to me braces or whatever.
00:01:30 -You don't wear braces, John.
00:01:35 I buy your suits, remember?
00:01:37 I might wear braces under me shirt,
00:01:41 And what would be the point of that?
00:01:43 They'd attach to me Y-fronts, Brian.
00:01:45 As a precaution against
00:01:49 and other appendages.
00:01:51 (SIGHS) Do you have to be
00:01:52 I might say these things, Brian,
00:01:54 you're the one who finds some
00:01:57 I do no such thing.

00:02:02 -Oh, me, no doubt.

00:02:07 I used to wait for him at the docks.
00:02:10 All been coming back to me.
00:02:11 Well, quite.
00:02:14 I used to ask the other seamen...
00:02:16 (IN FALSETTO) "Anyone seen Fred Lennon?
00:02:20 -John, John, can I have a kiss?
00:02:23 He's never been kissed
00:02:27 Oh, please.
00:02:28 Okay, girls, sling your hook.
00:02:30 (GIRLS SCREAMING)
00:02:42 The meter's off, John,
00:02:44 Secret location, please.
00:02:56 You're never tempted, John, you know?
00:02:59 Not when I've got my Brian.
00:03:01 Oh, like that, is it?
00:03:03 Very much so.
00:03:06 We're only going to Bernard Street,
00:03:07 but maybe you could go round
00:03:10 'cause we don't want to be noticed.
00:03:11 I want to shout our love
00:03:13 but he won't have it.
00:03:15 DRIVER: Oh, well,
00:03:17 Very much appreciate that.
00:03:20 Seriously, John,
00:03:24 Do you understand what I'm saying, John?
00:03:25 Don't sign me fortune over to him.
00:03:27 Exactly.
00:03:28 Leave it where it is,
00:03:32 I'm only ribbing you.
00:03:35 -DRIVER: Where do you need, the hotel?
00:03:42 John, John!

00:03:48 The necessary precautions
00:03:51 (CHUCKLES)
00:03:53 Thank you.
00:04:00 He's here now, is he?
00:04:02 John, all I want you to do
00:04:05 and then you can walk out of here
00:04:07 And then we'll have the papers
00:04:11 (SIGHS)
00:04:14 -Can I...?
00:04:16 He never even turned up,
00:04:18 John, as far as I understand it,
00:04:22 He makes his living, such as it is,
00:04:24 He's a heavy drinker
00:04:40 You okay?
00:04:43 Beautiful, you know, me mother.
00:04:46 Feckless, but beautiful.
00:04:48 Auburn hair, vivacious.
00:04:53 Well, then I don't know
00:05:18 John?
00:05:20 So what do you want?
00:05:21 Gentlemen, good afternoon,
00:05:23 Now, we're here as arranged
00:05:26 so we'll have to be very brief.
00:05:29 -I don't want anything, John.
00:05:32 John, what Mr Lennon's
00:05:34 Shut your mouth, you,
00:05:38 I just wanted to see you, son,
00:05:42 Papers are saying I'm looking to
00:05:46 They're just saying that 'cause
00:05:49 He's the papers.
00:05:52 I had to do that.
00:05:54 That's 'cause he looks after me,
00:05:57 You're talking out of your arse, John.
00:06:03 The fact is,
00:06:06 What other fact is there?
00:06:09 -It was your decision, son.
00:06:11 What are you talking about?
00:06:13 I left it up to you.
00:06:15 Come in, sit down, son. Have a drink.
00:06:18 I can't believe we're both here
00:06:21 Seventeen bloody years.
00:06:24 -Get him a drink, you.
00:06:25 Scotch.
00:06:28 I need it.
00:06:31 Sit down, John.
00:06:33 Say your piece.
00:06:39 In a word, don't believe
00:06:43 -I've had a bad press all me life.
00:06:46 Where did you learn that
00:06:48 (CHUCKLES)
00:06:55 Last chance to change your mind.
00:06:57 You go ahead.
00:07:04 You know he gets it from me,
00:07:08 No stranger to the stage, me.
00:07:10 # You've no way of knowing
00:07:13 # There's no way of showing
00:07:16 # What you mean to me, Sonny Boy #
00:07:21 Told you I'd make him laugh, didn't I?
00:07:24 Now, for heaven's sakes, sit down, son.
00:07:25 Well, with your ambition fulfilled,
00:07:27 He hasn't even sat down yet.
00:07:29 You've not even sat down, John.
00:07:31 I've not sat down since 1 962.
00:07:33 Gentlemen, it's been a pleasure.
00:07:35 You look after yourself, John.
00:07:39 I do, yeah. That's right.
00:07:47 I can see your mother in you.
00:08:02 Funny when you think about it.
00:08:03 Me in the movies
00:08:27 (ALL SCREAMING)
00:08:30 TV REPORTER 1 :
00:08:32 the Beatles will always look back
00:08:42 TV REPORTER 2: And if the fans
00:08:43 MBE stood for Mr Brian Epstein,
00:08:52 TV REPORTER 3: Is it true they made
00:08:54 somebody asks?
00:08:55 But the Beatles just smile
00:09:02 TV REPORTER 4: 55, 000 Americans
00:09:05 in a hall holding less than 800.
00:09:10 TV REPORTER 5: Earlier today,
00:09:12 Brian Epstein, was found dead
00:09:15 The cause of his death remains unknown.
00:09:18 JOHN: I don 't know what to say,
00:09:22 and it's hard to think of things to say.
00:09:25 But he was just a beautiful fellow,
00:09:29 JOURNALIST: What are your plans now?
00:09:31 JOHN: Well, we haven 't made any,
00:09:37 Very good. All right, next question.
00:09:40 Do you have a route planned?
00:09:42 Well, we're going wherever
00:09:48 As long as it's on the A303.
00:09:51 JOURNALIST: On a bus?
00:09:53 A magic bus.
00:09:55 What's magic about it?
00:09:56 Well, that's the, you know, the mystery.
00:09:59 Who'll be going with you?
00:10:00 Basically anyone who can't
00:10:04 Whose idea was it?
00:10:06 Mine.
00:10:08 Does that mean
00:10:10 In circles, maybe, yeah.
00:10:13 We can't replace Brian.
00:10:15 It was Paul's idea
00:10:18 We've all contributed ideas.
00:10:20 I contributed sandwiches.
00:10:22 Brown and white.
00:10:24 Ham and tongue, thick and thin.
00:10:27 And I'm wrapping them
00:10:32 The most expensive home movie
00:10:36 If Brian had said do it,
00:10:37 Brian knew what he was doing.
00:10:39 Pity you never told him that
00:10:41 He knew what I thought.
00:10:44 Brian's dead, the Beatles isn't,
00:10:47 You hire a coach.
00:10:48 (CHUCKLES)
00:10:50 -Precisely.
00:10:53 Happy now?
00:10:54 Just as a mountain of snow
00:10:57 so the whole of the universe
00:11:01 open brackets, bliss, close brackets.
00:11:04 Couldn't have put it better meself.
00:11:07 I know.
00:11:13 (HORN HONKING)
00:11:30 You're thinking,
00:11:33 You're thinking, "Brian's dead,
00:11:35 "John'll be sad
00:11:37 -You don't know what I'm thinking.
00:11:41 I just want to hold your hand.
00:11:51 JOHN: "Dear Dad, Freddie,
00:11:57 "Thanks for the letter.
00:11:59 "I'm sitting down now. "
00:12:17 Done all right for himself, eh?
00:12:20 Don't worry, Les,
00:12:23 -Are you?
00:12:28 Blimey, John, what a place.
00:12:30 Do you like it?
00:12:31 And here's me, me sum total.
00:12:36 There's no need for this, mate.
00:12:37 -Keep it. Keep it.
00:12:39 (IN AMERICAN ACCENT) Why, you think
00:12:42 All right. Inside, Rocky.
00:12:56 Where you putting me, then?
00:12:57 Cup of tea? Put the kettle on, Dot.
00:13:00 Tea? Champagne not called for?
00:13:03 -Do you think I'm made of money?
00:13:06 Bigger than most of the hotels
00:13:10 I only ever sit in here.
00:13:15 Here and the studio.
00:13:19 Your own studio?
00:13:21 Jesus, John, when you think
00:13:24 I still am starting out.
00:13:26 Is that a pool?
00:13:28 (JULIAN CHATTERING OUTSIDE)
00:13:30 Are you happy, John?
00:13:31 I mean,
00:13:34 Heated, you know.
00:13:37 But still, no drinks cabinet.
00:13:41 (JULIAN LAUGHING OUTSIDE)
00:13:44 So what's next, then, for the Fab Four?
00:13:52 I've had a lot of people die on me.
00:13:55 Never thought Brian would.
00:13:56 In the midst of life and all that, John.
00:14:01 Only the good die young, son.
00:14:09 What are you looking at?
00:14:11 Do you get that?
00:14:12 You laugh 'cause the other fella's dead
00:14:15 You don't know what to feel.
00:14:17 There but for the grace of God.
00:14:20 People ask me,
00:14:25 I don't know what to feel.
00:14:27 I feel like
00:14:31 Queen, was he?
00:14:34 What's that got to do with anything?
00:14:36 Nothing.
00:14:38 good blokes, most of them.
00:14:39 Had a letter from Uncle Charlie,
00:14:43 All you've heard's the gospel
00:14:46 starring me as Herod, Judas
00:14:51 She brought me up.
00:14:53 So you can shut your mouth
00:14:56 You treat all your houseguests
00:14:58 I do if they dump me, aged six,
00:15:02 Like I said, what you've heard's
00:15:05 No, you left it up to me.
00:15:08 Is that what you told me
00:15:11 I could do with
00:15:14 You want to show us
00:15:20 Is this my grandson?
00:15:23 Who do you think this disreputable
00:15:26 -A gardener?
00:15:29 Can you play football?
00:15:31 I'm talking with your dad, son.
00:15:33 Go on, make yourself useful.
00:15:43 Come on, then, give us a goal.
00:15:45 Ah! Goal! Oh, look at that!
00:15:54 "Anyone who thought the Beatles
00:15:57 "should be forced to watch
00:16:01 "and watch them fall flat on their faces
00:16:05 They don't know
00:16:07 I hope Paul's seen this.
00:16:11 Do you think Cynthia looks like
00:16:16 Do you think my wife resembles
00:16:20 She does, you see.
00:16:21 Mmm. She does,
00:16:24 -In what way?
00:16:27 Dot?
00:16:29 Well, her hair.
00:16:33 Her hair.
00:16:37 I'm going to be meeting Brigitte
00:16:41 So I'll be able to make
00:16:44 (DOOR SLAMS)
00:17:13 A gamekeeper run him down?
00:17:15 It was the chimney sweep who saw him.
00:17:17 He took him for an intruder.
00:17:19 Very brave of him, as it happens,
00:17:21 So rare these days that chimney sweeps
00:17:25 I could have called the police.
00:17:28 Then why don't you?
00:17:31 (SIGHS)
00:17:35 All right?
00:17:36 All right, John, glad to see you.
00:17:38 What are you doing, you stupid sod?
00:17:41 I was trying to find a boozer,
00:17:43 Come on.
00:17:45 I thought this was a path.
00:17:47 Do you think I've got nothing better
00:17:50 That's a laugh, I hardly ever see you.
00:17:52 Oh, is that what this is about?
00:17:54 Oh, well, I'm sorry, John,
00:17:56 in front of your snooty
00:17:59 But where you live is a maze,
00:18:05 I'm rattling around
00:18:06 on me own half the time.
00:18:08 Feel like the nutter in the attic.
00:18:11 I like people around me, John.
00:18:13 You know, I want to have a good time.
00:18:15 Well, you've come to the wrong place.
00:18:18 So what are you doing here?
00:18:21 Get in the car.
00:18:24 Get in the car.
00:18:27 I've met someone, John.
00:18:30 -That's where I was going, to see her.
00:18:32 She's 1 9.
00:18:37 1 9?
00:18:39 -You're 54.
00:18:42 I keep saying to her, go find yourself
00:18:45 but she won't have it.
00:18:46 -What's her name?
00:18:49 I hope I'm still shagging
00:18:53 You're a Lennon, aren't you?
00:18:54 I am, yeah, and you're a dirty old goat.
00:18:56 (CHUCKLES)
00:18:58 She's the reason I was thinking
00:19:07 Doesn't have to be far.
00:19:10 Ah, come on, John!
00:19:12 -You know as well...
00:19:14 You what?
00:19:15 Fucking off and saying it was my fault?
00:19:17 I never said it was your fault, John.
00:19:19 Not now and not then. I said...
00:19:21 Talk to the office,
00:19:36 TV REPORTER: Infinite happiness,
00:19:38 Iies deep within everyone.
00:19:41 He doesn't require you
00:19:43 except drugs and a week's salary,
00:19:45 in the Beatles' case,
00:19:48 To attend this s, they have to have
00:19:57 (ALL CHATTERING)
00:20:09 Thank you very much for coming.
00:20:12 We've got a limited amount of time,
00:20:15 we'll try to get through
00:20:17 Yeah, why did you come back from India
00:20:20 Well, the plane wouldn't fly any slower.
00:20:22 JOHN: It was a mistake.
00:20:24 -What do you mean a mistake?
00:20:26 Do you think other people are making
00:20:29 That's up to them.
00:20:31 How would you characterise your mistake?
00:20:33 We're human, you know, that's all.
00:20:35 We thought there was more to him
00:20:38 We thought... But he's just human.
00:20:41 And for a while we thought
00:20:45 We thought he was, you know...
00:20:50 Do you have any new
00:20:52 JOHN: No.
00:20:53 JOURNALIST: Can we get on to Apple,
00:20:55 Why Apple Corps?
00:20:57 We just thought, what shall we call it?
00:21:00 It's a play on words.
00:21:02 Is business a subject for humour?
00:21:03 Anything's a subject for humour.
00:21:06 -Death?
00:21:08 -Why are you here today?
00:21:10 -What is this?
00:21:12 It looks like a shambles.
00:21:14 Well, you know, what are you here for?
00:21:15 What is the Apple Corps
00:21:18 It's business.
00:21:22 films and electronics,
00:21:24 whatever it's called,
00:21:26 But we just want to set up a system
00:21:28 whereby people who want to
00:21:31 don't have to go on their knees
00:21:34 probably yours.

00:22:10 Derek?
00:22:16 The Jap girl? She's there, yeah. Yoko.
00:22:20 She sends me cards.
00:22:23 John, please make up your mind because
00:22:25 "Dance."
00:22:28 Mr Lennon! Mr Lennon!
00:22:30 You coming in or not?
00:22:33 Can you give this to John, please?
00:22:35 Yes, of course.
00:22:37 Whose idea was that,
00:22:40 Mine.
00:22:41 You know we've got about
00:22:43 You should be glad,
00:22:46 Is that right?
00:22:47 Had her on the ceiling, you know.
00:22:49 -Who's that?
00:22:52 I had her behind the bike sheds.
00:23:11 Mint?
00:23:15 Are you nervous or something?
00:23:17 That was the one sure thing, you know.
00:23:19 When I'm rich and famous,
00:23:24 She's had her suite kitted out
00:23:27 -to make you feel at home.
00:23:30 (DEREK CHUCKLES)
00:23:31 You met the Queen, John,
00:23:35 Didn't notice you quaking
00:23:37 Well, I never spent three years
00:23:39 to a picture of the Queen in a bikini.
00:23:41 (LAUGHING)
00:23:42 Spare us the details.
00:23:47 Do you ever think about Brian, Derek?
00:23:54 I think about him a lot.
00:23:59 Sometimes,
00:24:02 I think I'm Jesus Christ.
00:24:04 (LAUGHING)
00:24:06 Fucking hell, John,
00:24:09 Jesus always gets us in trouble.
00:24:13 I'm trying to talk to you.
00:24:14 Well, don't. Jesus.
00:24:18 Jesus Christ.
00:24:22 Isn't being John Lennon enough?
00:24:30 Everybody loves you, John,
00:24:34 -Everybody loves me?
00:24:36 That's like saying nobody does.
00:24:42 Do you want me to call this off?
00:24:46 What else have you got, Derek,
00:24:49 Oh, now hang on, you're about to fulfil
00:24:54 We'll have a drink in the bar downstairs
00:24:59 Open your pill pocket, Derek.
00:25:01 John, think about it.

00:25:06 Let's have it.
00:25:37 I know nothing.
00:25:47 I'll have you home in 1 0 minutes,
00:25:51 Why don't I wait here for a bit,
00:25:53 Because I don't want you to, Les.
00:25:56 Because I'm a big boy now.
00:25:58 You don't even know the way.
00:26:01 Shall I call Mrs Lennon?

00:27:17 I might have got away with it.
00:27:19 In reference to England, that we
00:27:23 WOMAN: There's certainly no comparison
00:27:25 between Jesus Christ and John Lennon,
00:27:27 because I don 't think that
00:27:31 As a matter of fact, he was
00:27:32 MAN: You never can tell about him,
00:27:35 his attitude is so bizarre

00:28:40 John, I'm not going to stand here
00:28:50 John, for God's sake!
00:28:59 John, I was worried about you.
00:29:02 I can't walk on water.
00:29:06 Fetch Pete.
00:29:08 We're supposed to be going on holiday.
00:29:10 Your whole life's a holiday, girl.
00:29:12 You said you wanted a break.
00:29:13 You said I wanted a break. Fetch Pete.
00:29:16 You're not 1 4 any more.
00:29:18 People don't have their school friends
00:29:20 when they get married
00:29:23 -Don't they?
00:29:29 Or their dads.
00:29:31 He's gone. You know that.
00:29:35 Get out of the water.
00:29:41 Why don't you come in?
00:29:50 Come in.
00:29:57 Maybe people don't go in the water when
00:30:02 You don't even know what a family is.
00:30:07 Fetch Pete.

00:30:57 I am, Julian, yeah. I'm stuck fast.
00:31:00 I once got my foot stuck in the ladder.
00:31:03 Let me talk to Pete.
00:31:47 Right.
00:31:50 I want to hear every detail.
00:31:53 Leave nothing out.
00:31:55 There's nothing to leave out.
00:31:58 You did everything?
00:32:01 Oh, the years I've thought about it.
00:32:04 -We did nothing.
00:32:06 -She's better as a picture.
00:32:09 Maharishi's got big tits
00:32:12 And even he talked more sense.
00:32:14 John, mate.
00:32:16 I was on acid, she was on the wane.
00:32:18 For crying out loud, John,
00:32:22 She disappointed me.
00:32:27 Imagine if she'd just said...
00:32:30 (IN FRENCH ACCENT)
00:32:37 You know, like we used to imagine.
00:32:41 The days of mutual masturbation
00:32:44 I'm sorry.
00:32:49 What are you thinking about?
00:32:54 Cynthia said something about Jesus.
00:32:58 -Derek rang her.
00:33:21 Big house.
00:33:22 Yeah, there was a big gap in Weybridge
00:33:26 There was all sorts of things
00:33:28 but this was just the right size
00:33:51 She didn't know who I was
00:33:55 No.
00:33:57 Not that he knows himself.
00:33:59 It's good to be fluid.

00:36:49 Yes.
00:36:52 'Cause I didn't have a clue.
00:37:52 All right, John?
00:37:55 Unbelievable.

00:39:30 I'm setting them free.
00:39:32 I'm setting everything free,
00:39:34 I'm the liberator.
00:39:38 They've got a little tag on

00:40:11 Okay, right.
00:40:14 Well, maybe,
00:40:16 I can make a few changes.

00:42:42 I must have loved you once
00:42:45 -Mr Lennon.
00:42:48 Mr Lennon.
00:42:49 She thought I was going mad,
00:42:52 This is the bloody madness
00:42:55 You are mad.
00:42:59 What are you still doing in my life?
00:43:01 I never wanted to be in your life.
00:43:03 I never wanted her

01:04:49 It's over.
01:04:52 -What's over?
01:04:55 The Beatles.
01:04:57 It's finished.
01:04:59 The album's coming out in 1 0 days.
01:05:02 So? That's it, then.
01:05:04 -Abbey Road and out.
01:05:06 I started this band, I'm finishing it.
01:05:07 There's four of us in this band.
01:05:09 There is, yeah, and if there
01:05:11 -You're jetlagged, John.
01:05:13 We just need to do something fresh,
01:05:15 we need to get out there on the road,
01:05:16 we need to get out there
01:05:19 That's what I've been doing in Toronto
01:05:21 I don't need the rest of you to do that,
01:05:24 -Thanks very much.
01:05:26 or you want me to tell you
01:05:28 What you're really thinking
01:05:30 Face it, we're not doing anything
01:05:33 You know it, admit it.
01:05:36 That's not my view,
01:05:37 that's not George's view,
01:05:39 Christ, the voice of reason.
01:05:42 Don't you ever want to strike out,
01:05:45 feel what it is to be creative?
01:05:46 -The Beatles is creative.
01:05:49 for six months in Hamburg,
01:05:51 -We're family, John.
01:06:04 Look, John,
01:06:07 you do what you're doing,
01:06:09 Why say it's over
01:06:11 'Cause up here it's over.
01:06:15 But out there it's not.
01:06:18 What are you saying? Keep me mouth shut?
01:06:19 You think that means it isn't true?
01:06:21 No announcement, no news.
01:06:23 We never perform anyhow, what's changed?
01:06:26 -Everything.
01:06:32 Maybe that's the difference
01:06:37 Maybe it is.
01:06:41 I won't be changing me mind.
01:06:45 If you do, you do,
01:06:48 Could be a song there.
01:06:49 (LAUGHS) Well, get your guitar.
01:06:54 See ya.
01:07:09 REPORTER: What about the future
01:07:10 -Do you feel you're still a group?
01:07:13 You know, we're closer now, you know,
01:07:16 REPORTER 1 : Can we now expect
01:07:19 JOHN: I don 't think I'd perform solo
01:07:22 I mean, if I feel like performing...
01:07:24 REPORTER 2: How much longer
01:07:25 -That's all we want to know.
01:07:28 REPORTER: What will you do then,
01:07:30 GEORGE: No, a railway driver,
01:07:36 Paul says the Beatles have broken up.
01:07:39 -You said it yourself.
01:07:42 You already knew it.
01:07:45 He didn't want me to do it,
01:07:47 So it's done.
01:07:49 So what's the difference?
01:07:51 The Beatles was my band, not his.
01:07:55 Not his.
01:07:57 John...
01:08:01 -MAN: He's not here, John.
01:08:03 MAN: John, it's over.
01:08:05 -WOMAN 1 : What you doing?
01:08:11 He's only a stupid sod.
01:08:15 Call the police.
01:08:18 (GASPS)
01:08:21 (PANTING)
01:08:23 ART: This was what, a dream?
01:08:27 JOHN: It felt like a dream.
01:08:30 MAN: (ECHOING) John, it's over.
01:08:40 ART: We call it Primal Therapy,
01:08:42 because all the hurt and fear
01:08:48 find their incubator in the hurt
01:08:53 between the ages of five and seven.
01:08:57 That's where it sits
01:09:01 Unless you scream.
01:09:03 Some people don't scream.
01:09:05 Maybe they tremble or sob
01:09:10 What we're looking for
01:09:14 something bold and unprecedented
01:09:19 I'm a good screamer.
01:09:21 The screaming I hear
01:09:26 in both senses of the word.
01:09:29 You want abandon.
01:09:33 ART: Not me, John. You.
01:09:50 Play a role, John, if it helps.
01:09:55 Take your mother.
01:10:00 Or your father.
01:10:04 The three of you at Blackpool.
01:10:10 Take your six-year-old self.
01:10:16 They're arguing. She says
01:10:22 They can't decide which one
01:10:28 Both of them want me.
01:10:30 Or maybe neither of them want me
01:10:32 but they don't want
01:10:36 And what do you want?
01:10:40 I'm not thinking about what I want.
01:10:44 What are they saying?
01:10:46 They stop arguing.
01:10:49 They can see me watching them
01:10:53 And me dad says, "John, you decide.
01:10:58 "Which one of us is it going to be?
01:11:01 "Do you want to come
01:11:03 "or do you want to go back
01:11:07 "You decide."
01:11:09 That's been going round
01:11:12 What do I want? What do I want?
01:11:16 But what do you say to your father?
01:11:22 I say him.
01:11:24 It was Blackpool.
01:11:26 We were having fun and she
01:11:28 I didn't like him.
01:11:31 I took his hand, I said him.
01:11:38 What did she do?
01:11:41 She walked away, with Dykins.
01:11:45 I saw her walking away.
01:11:47 What did you do?
01:11:49 -I couldn't take it.
01:11:52 -I ran after her.
01:11:54 He doesn't move.
01:11:55 I catch her up and I'm walking
01:11:58 and I'm trying to drag them back
01:12:00 -and I'm shouting back to him.
01:12:02 "Daddy, come with us, Daddy!
01:12:06 "Daddy, come with us, Daddy!"
01:12:08 What does he do?
01:12:16 He turns away.
01:12:22 ART: And you keep walking.
01:12:25 And I keep walking
01:12:28 and he doesn't come.
01:12:32 And I get to the corner
01:12:38 And I go round the corner
01:12:44 And we get to the station
01:12:51 And we get the train to Liverpool.
01:12:55 And we get back to Liverpool
01:12:57 and she says, "You're going to
01:13:05 (SOBBING) And he doesn't come.
01:13:16 (BELL TOLLING)
01:13:48 (PEOPLE CHATTERING)
01:13:54 John!
01:13:56 It's from your dad.
01:14:00 He's writing a book about his life
01:14:04 -His life?
01:14:06 His life that was going nowhere
01:14:13 Tell him come and see me.
01:14:15 Yeah, tell him come, by all means.
01:14:17 Tell him, come to the house.
01:14:24 Tell him, come on me birthday.
01:14:30 # Father, you left me
01:14:36 # But I never left you
01:14:44 # I needed you
01:14:50 # You didn't need me
01:14:58 # So I
01:15:05 # I just gotta tell you
01:15:12 # Goodbye
01:15:19 # Goodbye
01:15:25 # Mama, don't go
01:15:31 # Daddy, come home
01:15:38 # Mama, don 't go
01:15:45 # Daddy, come home
01:15:51 # Mama, don 't go
01:15:58 # Daddy, come home #
01:16:06 So what do you think of that, Dad?
01:16:10 It's not like the Beatles, is it?
01:16:13 Not like the Beatles?
01:16:16 -Bit rowdier.
01:16:21 Bit more heartfelt, maybe.
01:16:24 What do you think it's about?
01:16:26 Well, it's personal stuff, isn't it?
01:16:31 What makes you say that?
01:16:32 Well, John, I'm not a music expert.
01:16:35 No.
01:16:39 So I'm probably the wrong person
01:16:53 What is your area of expertise?
01:16:58 -Well, you know me, John.
01:17:02 Come on, son.
01:17:03 -What makes you think I know you?
01:17:07 -I know you 'cause we're blood?
01:17:11 -I don't know you.
01:17:13 And you sure as fucking hell
01:17:16 John! Son, just take it easy, yeah?
01:17:19 Not a music expert.
01:17:24 I did me best, John.
01:17:26 -Your mother...
01:17:28 How can I leave her out of it?
01:17:30 She left me out of your life.
01:17:33 Seventeen years I never saw you.
01:17:36 -I tried, John.
01:17:39 Well, John, I was at sea.
01:17:41 -Are you an expert as a dad?
01:17:46 No, I'm not.
01:17:50 Have you told your new wife that?
01:17:53 -They know me, John.
01:17:56 What do you want from me, son?
01:17:57 What I want from you
01:18:01 -Well, let bygones be bygones.
01:18:04 What else can we do?
01:18:06 It's all water under the bridge now.
01:18:09 My life you're talking about there,
01:18:12 Mine, too.
01:18:14 -I did me best, John.
01:18:17 Fuck me.
01:18:20 Growing up with Mimi, growing up
01:18:24 with her new husband and her new kids?
01:18:27 -Julia...
01:18:28 And then she died and you
01:18:32 Do you think I couldn't have done
01:18:35 They didn't want me there.
01:18:38 She didn't want me there.
01:18:40 -Your Auntie Mimi didn't want me there.
01:18:47 I'm sorry.
01:18:49 -What about me?
01:18:50 -What about me?
01:18:52 What about me? What about me?
01:19:27 REPORTER: Why are you leaving us, John?
01:19:28 JOHN: Christ, where to begin.
01:19:30 Why are you lot not all leaving with us?
01:19:32 (ALL CHUCKLING)
01:19:33 Any specific things?
01:19:35 -Decimalisation.
01:19:37 Northern Ireland, Biafra, the weather,
01:19:40 you lot, the way you treat her,
01:19:44 Do you think you'll be happier there?
01:19:45 -Do I think what?
01:19:47 It's like heaven there,
01:19:50 -and people are nice to Yoko.
01:19:53 New city as a new world.
01:19:55 In the States
01:19:58 Over here it's like 1 940 or something,
01:20:20 REPORTER: Would you agree
01:20:22 a lot of the British public, John?
01:20:23 They've alienated me.
01:20:25 Listen, I can't be a slave
01:20:28 I've grown up and now I'm leaving home,
01:20:30 and in my case that means kissing
01:20:32 and Daddy... You know, Daddy
01:20:37 What about your son?
01:20:39 # I don't believe in Beatles
01:20:43 (PA ANNOUNCEMENT, MUFFLED)
01:20:46 # I just believe in me
01:20:53 # Yoko and me
01:20:59 # That's reality
01:21:03 # The dream is over
01:21:10 # Yesterday
01:21:15 # I was the dreamweaver
01:21:20 # But now I'm reborn
01:21:28 # I was the Walrus
01:21:32 # But now I'm John
01:21:40 # And so, dear friends
01:21:44 # You'll just have to carry on
01:21:53 # The dream is over #
