Original subtitles

It's really about the innocence and loss of innocence and the exploitation of

innocence Always appeals to me because again that happened in Tommy and I and

it certainly Began to happen with Tom and Barry the way they were bought.

Conjoined twins, desolate location, cut off from everything, where they are,

where they grow up.

They're sold by their own father and they move out into the world. What

happens to them then? I mean, it's all incredibly gothic.

Mum had been having these terrible nightmares.

She thought she was expecting triplets.

Doctor's got it wrong.

Mum passed away the next day.

Never even saw him.

And there they were.

My two brothers.

Joined together, just here at the chest.

Peas in a pod.

The doctors wanted to try a separation surgery, but Father had had none of it.

It was bad enough he'd lost his wife.

It wasn't having the doctors messing about with his boys.

Father took us off to live out on the head.

Didn't let no one near us.

No one knew us.

We didn't go to school like other kids.

Dad taught us everything.

Though grand times.

Every little moment I'm with you I'm happy Every little moment without

you I'm blue

Music Hall.

I trod the balls before I could walk.

I did a double act with me mum.

Zelda and Little Zack.

Music business now is no

different to what it was then.

People want a show.

Punters want to see something a bit different.

Yeah, well, back in the late 50s and 60s, you know, if I'm being honest, Zach

Bedwick was the king.

Whatever, whoever he wanted, he had.

He reckoned the noise was going to be the new Small Faces, that Chris Dervish

was going to be the new Steve Marriott.

The band collapsed when Chris Dervish, the lead singer, took his 1968 Ford

Shelby for a swim in Staines Reservoir.

The run of bad luck had left Zach Beddowick bruised and pretty battered.

He hadn't had a pop hit of any kind for some years.

By 1974, he was ready to raise the stakes.

Well, my father signed that contract.

He believed he'd secured Tom Barron income.

It was just signed.

There, please.

He wanted his boys to be able to look after themselves.

Dad.

So many wanted to claim them.

In some ways, even more now than when they were alive. But there's never been,

like, any real concern or love.

The contract.

stipulated that Bedwick Walker Entertainments would own exclusive

publishing rights to the Howe Twins music.

In return, Albert Howe and his sons were guaranteed a substantial salary, payable

monthly, for a period of one year.

Hand on my heart, I never exploited anyone who didn't want to be exploited.

I must call and took them away.

I never thought I'd be in a rap band. I thought if we might get away from the

head and that, and I thought we might go and get a job with that. We listened to

lots of music, but it was... It was sung around. We always used to, like, get the

records on, and, like, at Christmas and that, we'd always... But, like, well,

just generally, we'd always, like, get on, like... But I think, I don't know,

we've got something special. I mean...

Everyone who's ever been famous has always had something that's special to

them, and we've got something special.

But no, we never ever thought we'd ever, ever, ever be... Doing an interview.

..on air and, like, doing this with a band and doing this. Someone recording

an interview with us. But, actually, I mean, no, but I think it has always

been, like, sort of a dream. A dream.

I'll be teaching you to the boys

This is amazing stuff, really.

Looking at it after all these years.

It was a weird place.

Zack created this magical wonderland. He had every freak in the world there. But,

of course, the boys were the main attraction.

It was all about them.

I didn't have that much going on myself at the time, so they were going to give

me a few bucks a week, all my expenses, and I was going to have the opportunity

to shoot whatever I wanted to about this weird idea.

Sounds good. Perfect.

You can also play it here.

All right.

Okay, now...

Hold them tight, press them down. Play those three.

Where are you going?

Listen to him, just play the... I am. It's all right, it's all right.

Most of the chords, you know, you can put them anywhere you can write a

fucking song without... Anything you want.

Keep doing that.

Make sure you've got it in your head.

I'm going to put a song on. It's dead deep.

Don't argue.

Not. And listen.

Are you ready?

Yeah. I want you to listen to this, right?

Oh,

that's what I was playing.

And then all I have to do is play another couple of chords.

Me and Zach go back to like the mid-60s.

He was always getting me in to babysit the new kids.

Zach wanted singing Siamese twins and he wanted them pop.

The name was his idea, The Bang Bang.

It was my job to sort the boys out musically.

I can't reach, I hurt my fingers. Well, it's going to hurt, isn't it?

Girl, I'll be with you all the time.

Get off, you're getting in the way. Don't argue. Fucking up!

I need to get that plectrum out, don't I?

Where have you put it?

You can bury through it. No, I didn't.

Damn it, Frank.

Barry, look, at some point you're going to have to play it. See what I'm doing?

You're going to have to learn this stuff at some point. All right.

Do you have a sing then?

Sing it. Yeah, that's a good idea. Sing it.

That's it.

Keep going.

Hey. Hey.

Hey.

Me?

It's almost in tune. Drink a bit more and then it'll be in tune.

It works!

Maybe that's what we'll do, we'll string a load of notes together.

Bottle solo from Bad!

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,

la, la, la, la, la.

Zach Bedwick, he gave me a call to take me on.

An apprenticeship, he called it.

My future in the entertainment industry.

Oh, fucking hell, he's there!

Oh, he's going to George and Bruce!

George and Bruce!

They were a shock.

That's what they were like. A real shock.

Bedwick had called me.

He told me, but he didn't tell me. Do you know what I mean?

I was just henchman, just his henchman, you know, unpaid arsewipe.

Handling all those freaks was just another shitty gig to me.

Give the other one a guitar, yeah?

Give them both a guitar. Look good. No, trust me, give them one each, yeah? Give

them this one.

Here you go.

Here you are, Barry.

Barry.

That'll look good.

Eh? Not going to work for him.

Stupid idea.

Um... Just... Fucking hell.

Have you got something to say to me, Barry?

You should turn it off.

It's a fucking joke.

There was a bit of a discipline problem with Barry right from the start, you

know, so I used to hose him down if he got out of control.

No, I'm serious, you know, we're kids and that.

Well, you've got to have a firm hand, ain't you?

Barry?

You know, he was always holding something back. There was always

something else going on with him. I mean, a lot of people's take was he's

mischievous, he's a country kid, but no, I think very deep.

I think it was something that ran real deep with him.

It doesn't make a difference

I'd

like to be going home

Why does he have to come in? He's got to come in, Baz.

Why? Oh, he's got to see it, mate.

He's got to see it, so I have to get him in.

But it's fine.

No, all it is, we'll just go through this.

You'll see, you know, how much you've improved.

Look, boys, I mean, do it for me, you know, cos... Cos I'll get shit on if

I'm not seen to be doing my job, so... I'm not playing if Nick comes in.

You have to, mate.

You have to. I can't get around it. You've got to do it, you know? And at

some point, you've got to do it in front of an audience, so... I mean... You

know, Nick's the least of your worries.

So, Paul, we haven't really spoken about Nick Sidney and how he interacted with

Tom and Barry.

Why did you stand by when these kids were getting beaten up?

So, Ben, Ben, see you tonight.

We're going through the red light.

Fuck off! Fuck off, Benny!

What are you fucking still doing here, eh? What's going on?

Oi!

What are you doing up there?

Both of you, down now!

Fuck off!

Do you... Jesus!

Tom, what do you think you're playing at? This is silly!

Eddie, fuck off! What was that?

You want to be in the bank?

Jesus Christ, little bastard.

I swear to God, if you don't come down...

You will not be in a band. I will take you home.

Do you want it?

You fucking cunt. You'll be out of a job if you fucking take us home. You need us

more than we need you.

What's that going to say then, eh?

Yeah,

sure, there was a bad vibe, you know.

Barry was out of control. So what?

Barry delivered when he was under the cosh, yeah? The treatment I give him

worked.

Do you sing along, girls?

Yeah?

That's you.

Well, Zach decided it was high time that we took the next step.

He called me, he said, the boys need a band and they need an original song.

Their signature, if you like.

The only brief he gave me, he wanted something a bit sexy.

So I thought, OK, well, we've got two Siamese twins, you know, a pair of

Siamese twins.

So I called up Tubbs Puller, the ex-noise drummer.

And I knew this art school kid, Spitz, on guitars.

And I was on bass.

And well two-way Romeo if you listen to the lyrics it'll tell you what it's

about

In the chorus, babe!

What are you doing?

Get off!

What's the matter? Can you fix the cigarettes in my hair?

Bedwick was very keen for the boys to do their first live gig. He wanted to know

up front whether or not to cut his losses.

We were going to play down at this grotty little pub in Stokey, but it had

a great reputation for good new bands.

I mean, back then, we had music three nights a week.

DJs Wednesdays, bands Fridays and Saturdays.

Now they'd rather have a meal.

Yeah, the bands used to just walk through here.

There's a bar along here.

And over there in the corner was the little stage.

It was a rough crowd that night.

Really nasty.

At Humbledon, these guys were protected.

But suddenly they were thrust into this audience.

They were dead nervous.

The crowd is just, I mean, they're shouting things out. Things like, you

know, who's these two poofs coming on, cuddling each other?

Chanting. Get off. Get off, you queer wankers.

Everybody just froze.

Everyone just froze.

Out of the blue, I'll never forget this, Barry just grabs

the mic stand and starts screaming the lyrics.

I mean, really snarling it out. I'd never seen anything like that before.

The audience are going fucking mad, throwing things at them.

And then one of the lads just... He just started kind of taunting the audience

back. Barry's lifting his shirt up, tempting them, you know, showing them

kind of where the join was.

Everyone in that audience thought it was a gag.

Show it, show it, show it.

And then he just rips open this shirt and you just see this incredible, you

know, band of skin joining them together.

It was like a freak show.

It was like,

here I am.

Fuck you.

Bedwick didn't want no filming that night.

Just in case they flopped. Well, they didn't flop.

That was the bang bang.

I called Zach straight away. Zach, you've got a band.

It's working.

Every little moment I'm with you, I'm happy.

Every little moment without you, I'm blue.

Every little daydream I dream is of you.

Happy Christmas.

What is it?

What is it?

That's a special for Mr. Beddowick, mate.

There's a letter in there as well.

Let's have a look.

It's an antidote. Just gently, lads. Gently, gently.

You can use something like this with great expectations.

Zach Beddowick. Look,

it means a lot to him, that sheet music, yeah?

Every little moment, words and music by Bobby Jones featuring the phenomenal

success The Hilton Sisters.

The Hilton Sisters?

Yeah, they were another Siamese actor. Siamese Sisters?

Gently, gently, it's an antique.

What does he want us to do with it?

I don't know.

You figure it out, boys.

Oh, right.

Go on then, sing it.

Every little moment I'm with you I'm happy.

Every little moment without you I'm blue.

Every little daydream I dream is about you.

It's not a fucking joke!

Come on!

It sounds like one of my dad's old songs. I don't care what it sounds like,

you know. Change it. Do something with it, yeah?

Just... We'll change it.

The whole idea of it was it was Zach's blessing.

It was. It was his blessing. It was his way of saying, go ahead, make an album,

go for it, I'll pay for it.

I mean, Zach... Zach thought it was just a matter of, you know, padding out a

couple of catchy hits with a few extra tunes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

the boom boom bang bang thing really really buzzing from it it was brilliant

it doesn't matter what you look like it doesn't matter what you're dressed like

here to dance if

they can do that then we can do anything

Looking through the window, there's three people in this car.

Don't know where we're going.

Could be far.

Streets and lampposts and people out in the streets.

Zach Bedwick wanted me to get the photo for the album and sleeve, the record

sleeve, you know, and I've done...

Well, I was going to do this kind of fontainebleau, you know, the two women

that are holding each other's nipples. Well, one's holding the other one.

So I thought that, you know, with the play, with the twins, with the join,

with the girls, with the masks.

And then Barry, he took the whole thing

completely out of my hands.

The girls didn't know.

I didn't, I just thought I've got to go with this.

Tom was, he was a little studious boy that wanted to be a good musician, that

wanted to get it right, that wanted to please me.

And Barry wanted to fuck with me.

Testosterone.

That's what happened.

Laura Ashworth.

Laura Ashworth was a slapper, mate. If you're in trouble, and you need a

friend, Laura Ashworth is the last person you want coming round the corner.

Might be a cow, though.

Paul, what's this? Who's this?

This is Laura.

Laura Ashworth. Is it?

Yeah.

A bit old for a groupie, aren't you, darling?

Actually, no, I don't think I am.

I think you are.

Do you?

Yeah. Gently.

It's Tom, isn't it?

That's right. You are correct.

I am Tom.

Good to meet you, Tom.

This is George.

I thought it was Barry. I'm George.

George. Do you mind if I call you Barry?

Look, he's joking. I'm actually Barry. Call me Georgina if you want. I'm Barry.

Shake my hand, touch my hand. Hello.

Bloody hell.

What's the fucking gag then? What is she doing here?

Haven't you been told?

She's going to write your autobiography.

Is she fuck?

What?

No, I'm not writing a autobiography.

No, I know you're not.

See you later.

Nick.

What?

What exactly have...

So what, are you a music journalist then?

Well, not quite, but I'm writing for an academic publication.

Woo!

Yeah, you're going to be in an academic publication.

Academic publication, though.

Academic publication.

You're on the way up.

What are you writing about?

Well, you guys, specifically.

What about us?

Well, you know, you're kind of, you know, you're different.

What?

Young and exciting.

Well, young, exciting, give me a third.

Listen, I'm actually writing an article about exploitation of the physically

impaired.

Speak to Tubbs, he's got a dodgy ankle.

Of course, I had...

this image of these two young victims, these poor defenseless boys that were

being totally exploited.

And then I see these young,

vibrant men with this energy and this presence, and it just threw me totally.

When Mr. Bedwick approached me with the Laura Ashworth problem, I suggested he

took her on a payroll.

I knew she wouldn't be able to resist recapturing her past, and I knew she

wouldn't be able to resist the twins.

It was child psychology.

So have you interviewed loads of other bands and stuff, Laura?

Unofficially, yes.

Off the record. Off the record.

Covert operations. Might have thrown down your panties.

Barry, I have to keep him on a lead. Do you? Yeah. Is that your job, between the

two of you?

Yes. Really? Yeah.

How do you feel about the people at Humbled and Tarps and Spits?

It's a great crowd.

You like them?

Yeah, you know, there's lots of... Nick and Aaron and Felix. Are there any

people in particular that you get on with more than... Ask them about Adele?

Who's Adele?

Adele. Adele? Just a girl, like, just a girl.

Oh, really? It's their interest already? Well...

You don't have to tell me about that. Tell me about Adele. No, it's not

important.

No, go on.

Am I embarrassing you? No, don't.

What's that?

What's he going to have me? It's my songbook, where I write the cards in.

Have you written a song about Adele? No.

It's dark and dirty. It says you won't have sex with her.

It says you won't have sex with Adele.

Oh,

what? Tommy does.

Tommy wakes up in the night. What?

Talking about Adele and that. What?

And that he wants to... He wants to touch her bum.

Shut up.

And he fiddles.

Shut up. He rubs himself up and down at night. Shut up. He does. Shut up. He

does. Shut up. He does. He waits for the night and he just always... And I can

feel the bed rolling around and I know it's... Just shut up, Barry.

What's that? Barry, just shut up. What's that? He likes to touch himself. Just

shut up.

Guys, why don't we just... Just shut up! Just shut up!

Tommy likes to touch himself. Just shut up! Tommy likes to... Just fucking shut

up! Tommy likes to touch himself.

Tommy likes to... Just shut up! Tommy, finish!

Just shut up!

Just shut up!

Tommy a bit censored today.

Shut up.

He hasn't had his normal what morning wank.

You've probably heard it all before.

What?

You've probably wanked boys off yourself.

Barry... Do you want us to play another song? Do you want us to play another

song? Do you want us to play another song? Do you want us to play another

song? Do you want us to play another song? Do you want us to play another

song? Do you want us to play another song? Do you want us to play another

song? Do you want us to play another song? Do you want us to play another

song? Do you want us to play another song? Do you want us to play another

song? Do you want us to play another song? Do you want us to play another

song? Do you want us to play another song? Do you want us to play another

song? Do you want us to play another song? Do you want us to play another

song? Do you want us to play another song? Do you want us to play another

song?

Do you want us to play another song?

Do you want us to play another song?

Do you want us Can I ask you what... what happened there?

It speaks truth.

Who does?

Hasn't got a name.

It's just there.

It's nothing.

Nothing. Just... Just sometimes... I'm just interested to know,

um...

In the first period of ugly scuffles, 47 left-wing protesters were arrested.

Tension rose still higher as the National Front march, well over a

thousand strong, reached the entrance to Red Lion Square.

Their way was blocked by the left-wingers and both sides were kept

apart by the police.

I noticed that Tom was writing stuff down. They had a lot of ideas.

So I let him just go with it. I mean, it was like an explosion of stuff.

If you listen to the lyrics of the songs, it was very small. It was all

about really the places they came from.

They always had an edge, they always had a sense of danger.

Two to one one is three

Are you you or are you me?

Now you tell me what that's about.

Like all little kids, Tom and Barry had a secret friend they used to talk to.

I had two myself.

Doula and Dawla.

They lived in my shoes.

I don't know what the boys called theirs.

It was her secret friend who brought all those terrible nightmares.

Come here.

We've got the lyrics there.

Ready?

Come on.

Feel good and taste like crap, yeah Let's blood run through

our veins Let's blood run through our veins Let's blood run through our veins

We've got Nelson's blood in our veins Ain't no

leaving cause there's nowhere to stay Ain't no running, no running away Cause

we lost our mama when we left with dad Ain't too bad but it's kind of sad

Liquid limbs racing through the grasses, crossing fields, streams and marshes.

Let's blood run to our veins.

Let's blood run to our veins.

Sing it to your stuff like that.

One minute, fly over next to me. Ten, yeah.

I want you to watch them when the flies are flown.

Flown from the branches of the...

When God does his blood like ice When God does his blood like ice God's blood

like ice God's blood like ice

That's it.

That's it. That's life.

You did and you didn't forget that they were actually physically joined together

because they were two very different people.

I found the way Tom held his silence was attractive.

And Barry was vulnerable and I tapped into that very quickly.

And although he made me feel uncomfortable because he was so in your

face a lot of the time, I just wanted to...

Protect him, really.

They're right through.

They're right through. These posh girls hang out, whatever.

They've got the education.

You know, I... You know, they lead... ..lead

people astray, mate. Lead people astray.

Sink or swim Make your mind up

Before you let the... ..fat cat swim

Wipe your chin, ain't no one looking after you. Now, now, now, give nothing

away, but give it loud, loud, loud.

There's a stench of the suits and dirt on the doors. The fat cats

and top hats.

The fat cats, the top hats, the drag acts cause a late night

frenzy.

And there's no time To whinge or whine

So fall in line Oh, the push and

pull The freaks and ghouls Fuck the big

buck boys Break their toys Oh, the

fat cats

And top hats.

The fat cats, the top hats, the drag acts.

Cause a late-night frenzy. It's generally held that conjoined twins

should be separated whenever medically possible, as early as possible.

The house was omphalopagus, joined at the lower chest, as were the original

Sámi twins, Chang and Leng Bunker.

Tom and Barry Howe's circulatory system was interconnected, and in addition,

they shared a liver.

An operation to separate the twins would have been accompanied by extraordinary

dangers, given the medical knowledge of that time, especially as Barry had been

born with a congenital heart defect, which made him the weaker sibling.

However, I have no doubt that that would have been the correct decision.

Cheng and Eng. Cheng and Eng, they were born in Siam.

And they were like... They could have cut themselves apart.

You got a bread knife?

Because that's probably better, but this is just like... It's like a hot knife

through butter, that is.

Bye-bye, Barry.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye, Barry.

Do you want to be separate?

Might do.

Might not.

Could do.

Could not.

Are you guys going to have kids?

Don't know. Are you going to have a kid?

Imagine if I had twins.

Imagine if I had triplets.

Imagine if I had quads.

Imagine if I had... Six tuplets.

Five tuplets.

If I had conjoined twins... I would cut them down the middle like a slice of

bread.

I think Ken Russell should stick to women in love, which I think is

brilliant.

But like a lot of biopics, you know, they miss

the essence, the essential beauty.

What else could you want? Are you done with those?

You're a star. You are my wonderful woman.

Excuse me.

Adele?

Adele?

That's just how I like them. Something I can dunk my soldiers in.

If you know what I mean, Lara.

Do you like dunking your soldiers, Frank? I love to dunk my soldier.

You love it when I dunk my soldier, don't you, Lara?

Shut up, Barry.

Oh, hard.

Mind. Mind?

No,

just like saying thanks.

Oh, I reckon what we should do, just to make this beautiful sunny morning even

better...

And she had flowers.

Does it look nice?

I love it.

It's lovely.

It's very pretty, Lara.

You do look very pretty this morning, actually.

What?

What, Tommy?

Play something else, Tom?

Tom. Tom.

Tom, play another fucking song.

Tom,

you've been playing that song for the last fucking half an hour.

Look, it wasn't an ideal situation and I know that, you know, and I had my own

anger and frustration about it. I fell in love with Tom.

You can't choose who you fall in love with.

Come on, sir.

Can you feel this pain?

because this is a message to pay to you my friends

When Barry performed, it was like he was fighting for his life. It was like he

just wanted that to keep going. I think he was afraid it would stop.

I think the thought of not having that kind of sense of power, maybe, sense of

being wanted, being adored, I think that frightened Barry a lot.

Fuck off!

Stop it!

Stop it!

There's always fights, but one time in particular, Barry actually

threatened Tom with a knife.

And it got very real.

I actually examined the Howe brothers on a single occasion, just once, after one

of those...

violent episodes that they were prone to. And it was here that I discovered

something very interesting. This dark patch, a growth of some kind.

Now, Barry's mood swings and restlessness and general paranoia are

indicative of amphetamine abuse, but those symptoms can also be attributed

to a tumour. There have been cases where one twin is in... in a cyst or

tumor inside the other. It's known as fetus in fetu.

There was a case of a farmer, age 28, who went to the doctor complaining of a

stomach ache. He was found to have a 13-pound fetal twin inside his abdomen.

On opening the head of the fetus, two additional fetuses were found in the

cranial cavity.

It's conceivable that Barry Howe...

harboured the rudiments of a third faeces in his cranium.

A lot of people have asked me about this third head on the shoulders of the

brothers.

In the novel, I just simply didn't believe it because things don't grow

like that, whereas a sort of growth on the back of the neck, these things

are medically documented in such cases.

But I did think it was a wonderful metaphor for their...

for their genius if you if you like it was as though it it contained the

essence of their being

Happy Christmas. Hang on, no, no. Sorry, Tom, hang on.

Sorry, sweetheart.

Shut up.

What do you reckon, Barry?

Tommy won't swim.

Can we let Tommy do a line? Yeah. You want to do a big one, Tommy? Tommy's

going to be in our club. Can you do a big one, Tom? Yeah. Yeah?

Leave some for me, though, eh? Tommy can do a big one.

Hold it.

Tommy's doing a big one.

Not even on it. Not even on it.

Get it, get it.

Get it all.

I'll give it to you. Get it all.

Come here.

Tommy, you naughty boy.

You like that? Tommy.

You want another?

You want a bigger one?

Tommy wants a bigger one. Wash it down, Tommy. Wash it down.

Tommy's fucked up that his girlfriend isn't here tonight, ain't he, Tommy?

Tommy wants another one, Barry. He says Tommy does not want another one. Tommy

wants another one. Tommy does not want another one. Barry, what else does he

say? He says... He says, it's time for you to go now, pal.

He says, we're sailing on, so we don't need you anymore.

We're off.

Bye. See you later.

Bye. We're going now.

Tommy.

Nick. No more.

That is the last time that you will do it.

You remember.

Tommy's trying to fuck me up, isn't he, Eddie?

I'm all right. I just want to get up.

Tommy, sit down. I'm all right. Sit down.

If you stopped.

and try to change the world every time you've got the camera turning um i guess

you'd never make a film and maybe you shouldn't maybe you should never be

there for i know one thing we should have had a psychiatrist at humboldt you

know if you're going to push all those buttons with people's psyches somebody

should be there qualified to handle it when it gets out of control is everyone

here tonight joe william

It's very awkward in here.

You're a fucking cunt.

I'll seek your swim.

Make your mind up.

Before you let go.

Sidecast win.

Oh, I put you in. Ain't no one looking over you. Now, now, now, get nothing

away. Look at the loud, loud, loud.

Let the stench of the soup. All the fat cats on the floor. The fat cats.

Jogging out.

All the fat cats.

Fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat.

Chocolate nights.

I'm saying.

I can bash no time.

You ain't your wife.

It's a fallen life.

You really fucked her up, man.

I'm the best shampoo.

Freaks ain't gone.

The big black boy.

Where's Barry gone?

Who's whispering,

Tom? Is Barry whispering?

Going outside.

What's it saying, Tom?

Don't know don't know

There's

nothing going on with a band everything is good. Mr. Bedwick You

see for yourself, won't you you see for yourself

And when you see for yourself, you'll be very, very happy.

We don't give a shit cause we're sitting in a car.

We're sitting in a car.

Tom, how's it going?

It's great, Eddie, it's great.

It's really great.

Yeah, and what's happening?

Oh, Barry done a monster one, didn't he? Tom does one, Barry does one.

Goes in a circle, doesn't it, Barry? Or even Barry. Eats itself.

Eats itself, doesn't it, Barry?

What's happening, Bez?

What's happening with you?

Tom does one.

One.

Barry does one. No.

Barry does one.

Bang.

Bang.

We're driving down the road in between the white lines.

There's police cars coming, solving all the crimes.

Faces on the bus, toes on the fence.

I know as time went on that Tom became less and less happy

with his situation.

And I know that may have been something to do with me, but if it wasn't me, it

would have been somebody else. I think he wanted his freedom.

The emotional and intellectual lives of conjoined twins are

entwined in a highly complex way.

There may be a physical separation that is successful, but... in my opinion,

I think it's very, very difficult to have a successful emotional

severance.

I'm trying to get this.

Trying to make this.

Raise this up.

I've got to do it, mate.

Stop playing for ten minutes.

What?

Read it.

To Lara.

Where's Laura?

Where's Laura? Where is Laura?

Where is Laura?

I don't know.

Or what does it say?

Um, it's from some doctor.

Come in for a consultation.

With reference to fucking separating them.

To Laura.

I received this letter from Laura Ashworth, acting on behalf of the twins.

The gist is they wish to explore the possibility of separation.

I didn't send that letter to Allardyce Stevens.

Who else would have wrote a letter like that? Who else, you know, who would have

had the connections? Who would have known them sort of people, you know?

Of course it came from Laura.

Got her, innit? Sort of thing she would have done.

I have serious doubts that both twins would have survived the operation.

As it was, my response went unanswered. I never heard from them or Laura

Ashworth again.

Bedwick, you know, he went fucking apeshit. He said, that bitch had to go.

Someone had to shut her up.

I left because Tom didn't ask me to stay, really.

You know, he didn't.

say anything, he didn't back me up, he...

I

wasn't really in a position to defend myself.

Or I didn't feel I was then, anyway.

Really, I was set up.

If you ask me, I think Tom guessed who sent the letter.

So are you guys going to get separated?

Maybe when one of us... What?

What?

He says... When one of us dies.

And both die.

Together we go together.

Go together.

Yeah.

Tom was a very cool customer, but

I don't think he knew how angry he was. I

think that he was a walking time bomb.

This is a special night for the Bang Bang.

First, we'd like to welcome the record company people.

And of course, Mr. Zach Megan Reef. Oh, we're up here, aren't we? Is she okay?

Reef is fine. She didn't want to come tonight, no? No, no, no, no. Not

tonight. Next time.

Come in. Have a nice evening.

Hi,

how you doing?

A lot of you have been here before.

You have seen them many, many a fucking time.

So you know what's coming, don't you?

Who do we want? Who do we fucking want?

So here they are, the Bang Bangs.

This one's for you, Zach.

What you give, you get back.

With you, I'm happy.

Every little moment now, you are blue.

Every little day through, I dream this about you.

Every little moment, I'm thinking of you.

You can make the day go, but I'm sorry.

All I'm saying is I'm so sorry. I'm thinking about you. Every little

moment, I only want you.

This was the future. That's what we were trying to do. It was something to do

with the future.

And Barry and Tom just took it into a different place.

Just build and build and build and it was fucking wonderful.

It's all I poke my eye to to make me do it It's all I

on S3.

It's impossible to see exactly what happened. I didn't see.

I was, uh... I couldn't get to him.

I just... There's the guitar being lifted, right there.

Now, where's Barry?

There's a few rumors going around, weren't there? Some people said they saw

this, some people said they saw that. You can't...

I would have to say that Barry had been struck.

Look how anguished Tom is here.

I just think that he snapped.

I mean, Barry was out of it by then, and Tom was, uh... He was shaking when he

come out.

He didn't speak or nothing.

Why?

Well, I didn't see the twins. Nick bundled them off, got them back to

Hambledon.

All I know is that they were in bad shape.

It's a long time ago, mate. Long time ago.

I went to the big house to collect my brothers.

They're in a terrible state.

And no one could tell me what had happened.

Tom was crying.

Anger.

And fear, too.

And Barry... just stared.

It's like he wasn't there at all.

I don't know.

Don't bury me.

Don't bury me.

Oh.

You better take us home, Robbie, Tom says.

So he did.

Who's burying me?

Not me.

Shall we do it, Tommy?

Go on then. One, two, three.

Come on. I'll close my eyes. Go on, do it. Just do it. Hold the other side.

Hold the other side. All right.

Ready? One, two, three.

Oh.

Oh, look away a minute. Look away a minute.

Yeah, done it. Done it.

I just can't be bothered to move.

No.

Um... That's

where I found them.

They were... They were huddled together.

It was like they were sleeping.

Like when they were little kids.

I'm not sure if Barry had died first, but Tom...

You could see where he'd tried to sever himself.

From his brother.

Who's whispering? Who's whispering?

Who's whispering?

Who's whispering? Who's whispering?

Who's whispering? Who's whispering?

Who's whispering?

Who's whispering?

Can you not see me?

Can you not see my eyes on you? Can you not feel it?

Can you not feel my soul calling out?

Calling out to you, my friend.

Because this is a message to you, my friend.

Friend Well can't you just sense it

Can't you just sense the power of love from

me to you babe From me to you

Cause this is a message of love to you.

We're ships in the ocean.

Creating a...

ships in the ocean create a commotion can you feel

this pain i feel for you

can't you see me

cause i've got my eye on you can you feel it

can you feel that i feel it too

I'm calling out to you, my friend.

This is a message I'm making to you, my

friend.

Oh,

two parts this and two parts that makes you feel good and taste like crap.

We lost our mama when we left with the dad. It ain't too bad, but it's kind of

sad.

When we move, we flow like the rainbow collides. So it's still we're moving

together. Liquid limbs racing through the grasses, crossing fields, streams,

and markets.

Bloods are singing to the step of our dead. One minute flying, the next minute

dead, yeah.

The wind still whistling when the birds are flown. Blowing through the branches

of the overgrown.

Blood coming through my veins.

There's blood running through our veins.

There's blood running through our veins.

Never.
