355
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,480
Are you interested in the occult,
Mr Arne?
356
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,880
Not in the least.
357
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,080
I'm a writer.
358
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,600
Demons of my own.
359
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,320
It's not for nothing that always around
360
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,000
churches ghosts and demons give
the greatest trouble, they do say.
361
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,880
Ah, because the church gives off most
powerfully the Manichaean challenge.
362
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,880
Oh, look, some would say that
the spire of a church acts an aerial,
363
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,160
attracting around it the old elemental
forces of light and darkness in combat,
364
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:35,280
some would say.
365
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:38,720
I am not sure which side the church
has always been on.
366

Hello, Stephen.
367
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,960
STEPHEN:
Hello, Mrs Arne.
368
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:53,840
What's the leaf for?
369
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:55,840
Comfrey.
370
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,240
She has an abscess.
371
00:23:58,440 --> 00:23:59,480
STEPHEN:
A herb cure?
372
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,040
Not a cure so much.
373
00:24:01,120 --> 00:24:04,360
The only way to let an abscess heal
is to stop bitch-face worrying at it.
374
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,200
Can't the vet put a poultice on?
375
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,440
She'll tear it off.
376
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,000
They don't like foreign bodies,
but she'll leave a leaf.
377
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,920
MRS ARNE:
She doesn't even know it's on.
378
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,400
Put the cat down, dear,
she isn't a child.
379
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,880
STEPHEN:
Why is Manichaeanism a heresy, Dad?
380
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,600
The world is a battleground
between good and evil.
381
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,440
Why is it an error to believe so?
382
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,520
REVEREND FRANKLIN: Manichaeans
didn't believe exactly that.
383
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:52,760
They believed that
384
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,520
light was a vulnerable spark in man
385
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,600
under constant attack
from forces of darkness.
386
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,080
They hoped for some great son of light
himself to come,
387
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,280
to vanquish darkness and set light free.
388
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,960
STEPHEN: The son of light has come.
His name is Jesus.
389
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,560
REVEREND FRANKLIN:
Not to the Manichaeans!
390
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,440
Jesus, to them,
was only one of many sons of light,
391
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,280
in an unending succession of them,
392
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,320
in an unending battle
393
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,920
to save man's spark of light.
394
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,080
STEPHEN: Father,
do you think dreams come true?
395
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,080
REVEREND FRANKLIN:
Don't come true. They are true.
396
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:37,480
STEPHEN:
What do you mean?
397
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,080
Your dream tells you
a truth about yourself.
398
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,080
A truth you hide from
while you're awake.
399
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,560
A truth you need to know
about yourself,
400
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,840
for your well-being.
401
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,440
REVEREND FRANKLIN:
This buried truth
402
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,360
comes up in your head
while you're asleep.
403
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,440
Rising to act itself
out like a play for you.
404
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,080
That's the responsibility
of the dreamer, Stephen.
405
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,280
To acknowledge that
406
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,400
truth about yourself the dream reveals.
407
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,360
Then act upon that truth.
408
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,200
The Devo would call such a dream
409
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,280
voice from God.
410
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,200
You're a believer. We're believers.

Was God's voice to you
outside your head?

No burning bush,

What was she?
803
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:28,120
There's some evidence that she
might even have not been Christian.
804
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:31,600

what is called,

We crucify him over and over.

Over and over in that church, I...
853

...crucify him.

can we now survive

we weave around us.

from the poisoning wind and dream?

I'm not your chemical son, Dad.

romanticism of a sort, I know,
882
01:11:58,080 --> 01:11:59,360
and yet, I wonder.
883
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:04,000
Just as I wonder whom Joan of Arc
in her last agony saw.
884
