My father, Logan Roy, was a great man,
in the true sense of the word.
Born the middle child of three,
he was sent away during
the Second World War

Sad, sad, sad.
I look good. I look good.

Who knows? But a great man.
His demise was carried, written in fire.
Pulsed electric, in a

into newspapers that he
started, networks he launched
through fiber he laid,

A great man indeed. A great, great man.

this eulogy's gonna leave
us open to legal action.
All right, so who have you hit?
- Who have I hit?
- Yeah.
Okay. Well, just You know.
Because I think it's great
that Mencken's a racist

EWAN: Good morning.
(INDISTINCT MURMURS)
- MARIANNE: It's okay. Just sit down.
- GREG: Shut up.
It's not your fault.
Don't tell me to shut up.
What sort of people would
stop a brother speaking
for the sake of a share price?
- (EWAN CLEARS THROAT)
- (WHISPERS) I'm sorry.
It is not for me to judge my brother.
History will tell that story.
I can just give you a couple of
instances about him.
You probably all know
we came across, the first
time, during the war,
for our safety.
But the engines of our ship let go
and the rest of the convoy
sailed on without us,
leaving us adrift.
They told us
They told us children
that if we spoke,
or coughed, or moved an
inch, that the U-boats
would catch the vibrations
through the hull,
and we would die in the
drink, right there in the hold.
Three nights and two
days, we stayed quiet.
A four-year-old and a
five-and-a-half-year-old
speaking with our eyes.
So
there's a little sob
story. (CLEARS THROAT)
And, uh, once we were
over, our uncle, who was
so to speak, "a character,"
he, um Well, they
they had a little money,
and they sent Logan
away to a better school,
and he hated it.
(CHUCKLES) He just hated it.
He wasn't, uh He
wasn't well. He was sick.
And he mewed, and he
cried, and in the end,
he got out and came
home under his own steam.
But when he got back, our little sister,
she was a baby, but
she was there by then
She, uh
He always believed
that he brought home the polio with him,
which took her.
I don't even know if that's true.
But our aunt and uncle
certainly did nothing to
disabuse him of that notion.
They let it lie with him.
I
loved him, I suppose.
And I suppose some of you did too,
in whatever way he would let us
and we could manage. (SNIFFLES)
But I can't help but say
he has wrought the most terrible things.
- Okay?
- (INDISTINCT MURMURING)
EWAN: He was a man who has,
here and there, drawn in
the edges of the world.
Now and then, darkened
the skies a little,
closed men's hearts.
Fed that dark flame in men,
the hard, mean, hard, relenting flame
that keeps their hearths
warm while another grows cold,
their grain stashed
while another goes hungry.
And even has the temerity
to tell that hard
(CHUCKLES) funny, yes, funny,
but hard joke about the man in the cold.
You can get a little high,
a little mighty, when you're warm.
Oh, yes, he he gave away
a few million of his billions,
but he was not a generous man.
He was mean,
and he made but a mean
estimation of the world.
And he fed a certain
kind of meagerness in men.
Perhaps he had to,
because he had a meagerness about him
and maybe I do about me, too.
I don't know.
I try.
I try.
I don't know when
but some time, he decided
not to try anymore.
And it was a terrible shame.
Godspeed, my brother.
And God bless.
KENDALL: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hmm. Mm-hmm.
KENDALL: You're gonna

(INHALES SHARPLY)

Yeah, I I don't know
how much I know.
But I knew my father.
You know, I've said it. I've said it.
And it is true, what I
said, what my uncle said.
Yeah, my father was, um
a brute.
He was. He was tough.
But, also, he built
and he acted.
And there are many people out there
who will always tell you no.
And there are a thousand reasons,
I mean, there always are
a thousand reasons not to to not act.
But he was never one of those.
He had a, uh
You know, he had a vitality, a force
that could hurt
and it did.
But my God, the sheer, the the
(SIGHS)
I mean, look at it. The
lives, and the livings,
and the things that he made.
- And the money. (CHUCKLES)
- (SCATTERED LAUGHTER)
KENDALL: Yeah, the money.
The lifeblood, the
oxygen of this this
this wonderful civilization
that we have built from the mud.
The money, the
corpuscles of life gushing
around this nation, this world,
filling men and women all
around with with desire.
Quickening the ambition to own,
and make, and trade, and profit,
and build and improve.
I mean, great geysers of life he willed.
Of buildings he made stand.
Of ships, steel hulls.
Amusements, newspapers,
shows, and films, and life.
Bloody, complicated life.
He made life happen.
He made me and my three siblings.
Sorry. (CLEARS THROAT)
And, uh, and yes, he had
a terrible force to him.
And a fierce ambition that
could push you to the side.
But But it was only
that that human thing.
The will to be, and
to be seen, and to do.
And now people might
want to tend and prune
the memory of him to
denigrate that force.
That magnificent, awful force of him,
but my God, I hope it's in me.
Because if we can't match his vim,
then God knows the future
will be sluggish and gray.
And there wasn't a room,
from the grandest state room
where his advice was sought
to the lowest house
where his news played,
where he couldn't walk
and wasn't comfortable.
He was comfortable with this world.
And he knew it.
He knew it and he liked it.
And I say amen to that.
(GUESTS APPLAUD)

Oh, God, he was so terrifying to us.
He'd come out and he'd
he'd yell at us to be quiet.

(LAUGHS) What he was doing
in there was so important.
We couldn't conceive
of of what it was.
You know, presidents,
and kings, and queens,
and diplomats, and prime ministers,
and world bankers.
And I don't know. Yeah. He, um
He kept us outside.
But he kept everyone outside.
When he let you in

it was warm.
Yeah. It was really
It was warm in the light.
But it was hard to be his daughter.
