0:00:26 > 0:00:29MUFFLED EXPLOSIONS
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Ah! Monsieur Wraysford,
0:01:00 > 0:01:02we had almost given up on you.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Your train was late?
0:01:03 > 0:01:05A little.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08You're certainly not the last.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Let me introduce you to Monsieur and Madame Berard...
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Enchante.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Monsieur.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19..Isabelle, my wife...
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Pardonnez-moi, Rene.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23..who came all the way from England.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27She, I suspect, only from one of the more fashionable shopping parades in Amiens.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Enchante.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Gregoire, don't tease the dog, please.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35We have dinner?
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Oui.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40INDISTINCT CHATTER
0:01:54 > 0:01:58SINGING IN FRENCH
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Bravo! Bravo!
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Papa has such a beautiful voice!
0:02:55 > 0:02:58An artist is nothing without his patron.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Do you sing, Mr Wraysford?
0:03:01 > 0:03:06- Very badly.- Pity. I have a particular fondness for the patriotic song.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08You'll be staying with us long, Monsieur?
0:03:08 > 0:03:09A month or more.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13London is very keen to see how these new machines work.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16They can do in a single day what 30 of my women manage in a week,
0:03:16 > 0:03:18and for one third of the cost.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Monsieur? How old are you?
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Gregoire.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I'm 20. How old are you?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Ten.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Remember, Lisette,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36we are speaking in English tonight for the benefit of Mr Wraysford.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Madame?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Did I see you today walking along the Rue Saint Leu?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I might have walked that way.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47I passed that...
0:03:49 > 0:03:51..beautiful house near les jardins d'eau.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55There was someone playing piano.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I couldn't recognise the melody.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I just stood in the garden,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03trying to stop myself from walking right inside.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06And did you?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Stop yourself?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14It was one of those sentimental folk songs, I bet.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15I cannot bear them!
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Musicians of today are now satisfied with four notes
0:04:18 > 0:04:21they can sell on the song sheet on the street corner.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Give me one of our great composers.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Now, Camille Saint-Saens... Ah!
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Now, there is a composer.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Rene, forgive me.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35I cannot shake this headache.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Perhaps Monsieur Wraysford can take my place at cards?
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Of course.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45And I had another little song
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I was so looking forward to singing.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Another time?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Madame, Monsieur.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Good night.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55ALL: Good night. Bonne nuit.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Poor Madame Azaire!
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I hope she's not unwell?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02My wife is of a nervous disposition.

0:06:56 > 0:07:01Sir. Captain Weir's taken two men underground.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03How long have they been down there?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Six, seven hours, sir.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Who told Captain Weir he could take two of my men?
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Captain Gray, sir.

0:08:57 > 0:08:58The air feed's off.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02For God's sake, Firebrace! We're expiring down here.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05I can't bloody breathe.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08So shut up and save your breath, Tipper.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Shell fire.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I heard wrong.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Just shell fire.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Jack!
0:09:37 > 0:09:38I want my men out now.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40We want everyone out, sir.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44I can't get you out, Turner.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Can't get you out.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Hurry up!
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Keep going forward! Come on!
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Look at me! Keep looking at me, all right?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Look at me! Look at me, Turner.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Damn it, Weir! I will not allow you to take my soldiers and put them in danger.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Christ's sake! We're fighting this war, too!
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Hurry up!
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Tipper!
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Breathe out sharp.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Tipper!
0:11:20 > 0:11:23For God's sake! Do you want to get us all bloody killed?!
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Don't you EVER let me see you do that again.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Do you hear me?
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Sir.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I will not have you endanger the lives of the other men.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Get him to the MO.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Tyson, Shaw. Rest up.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Then I want you back down to start to pump out.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- Yes, Captain Weir.- I'm on sentry duty in an hour, sir.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Tunnelers don't do duty. - They're short of men.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Firebrace, take his watch.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Yes, Captain.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Water table must be too high. It's all the rain.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15So, how many men did you lose?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18One.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Turner.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27You talk to Gray. It was his idea.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29I will.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Sir?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Did you order my men down with Captain Weir, sir?
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Weir? Captain Weir?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Yes. He's an engineer, isn't he?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Yes, and we're infantry, sir.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- We're not claykickers.- Those claykickers are doing their bit.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52You'll find you'll like them when they blow Fritz sky high from underneath.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- My men nearly drowned.- Yes, I know.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Water table's up. There's nothing we can do, unfortunately.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Sir, we are infantry. We do not go underground.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Wraysford, they are laying mines under Fritz's trenches.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05If the Boche hear them, they will dig down and break through.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10- They need protecting. - Try telling that to my men when they're on a shilling a day, sir.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Try leading by example and go down with them.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Are you frightened, Lieutenant?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21No, sir.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Refresh those sewer rats in the basics of combat,
0:13:24 > 0:13:25and then maybe I'll reconsider.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28They may have been taught how to hold a rifle,
0:13:28 > 0:13:33but I'm not convinced they'll be able to fire it if the Boche break through into our tunnels.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34Yes. Yes.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48FRENCH SONG PLAYS ON RADIO
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Thank you, Riley. - Sir.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Rumour has it we'll get some rest tomorrow.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Then who will keep the French company?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22I don't know what's worse -
0:14:22 > 0:14:25being underground, or coming up and being under this.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28You'd better get used to it.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Big guns take at least a week to dig in.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32They're not going anywhere now.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Aren't you going to open that?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41It's been lying there all day.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Christ!
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Mother has surpassed herself.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08At least I GET post!
0:15:10 > 0:15:12If only from my wretched mother.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16I've never even seen you get so much as a bar of chocolate.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Even the Red Cross send socks.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20RUMBLING
0:15:31 > 0:15:35You ought to get yourself a sweetheart, Lieutenant.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Riley! Bowl!
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Are you lost, Monsieur Wraysford?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50No, I'm...
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Yes, I am.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I meant to turn left, but...
0:17:54 > 0:17:55There IS a quicker route,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58but then one would miss the roses.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Ah!
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Are you...
0:18:04 > 0:18:05settling in well?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Quite well, thank you.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Sorry that you're joining us at such a difficult time.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19I fear the situation at the factory will grow worse before it is better.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Gregoire is a fine boy.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Yes.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26And Lisette, she's...
0:18:28 > 0:18:30They're my stepchildren.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Rene's first wife died eight years ago.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38We married two years after.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48I saw you today.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52Near the Rue de la Gare.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55There's very fine cafe there.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I know it well.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00You were visiting a friend?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03A friend? No.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06I have very few of those.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19'On the command, load,'
0:19:19 > 0:19:22safety catches off, and open the bolt.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- I've forgotten how you hold it. - Like you hold your sweetheart.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Quiet!
0:19:27 > 0:19:32Take the charger clip of five rounds and place it in the breech.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Push the rounds firmly into the magazine.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Open the bolt.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38Close the bolt.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Safety catches on.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Check the safety catches, boys.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Good.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56The weapon is now loaded.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Fire!
0:20:05 > 0:20:07GUNSHOTS
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Miles away!
0:20:12 > 0:20:14My finger's too fat for the trigger.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Hope you don't have that problem anywhere else, Mr Shaw!
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Don't hold it like you're in a penny arcade.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Tuck it under your shoulder.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28No, tuck it UNDER.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33Tuck it in.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Fire!
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Good man!
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Not bad!
0:20:41 > 0:20:43It's all muscle from that hard digging we do
0:20:43 > 0:20:47while you boys are nancying around upstairs that does it!
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Anytime you want to swap places, mate?- No, thanks.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- At least we get some peace down there.- Unload.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54Close the action,
0:20:54 > 0:20:56safety catches on,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58and rest your rifles.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Douglas, check the targets.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05That's not much cop if that's all we get to practise,
0:21:05 > 0:21:07shooting at Fritz in the tunnels!
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Suits me.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12I came to dig, not hold a gun.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14You'll do what I say if it's needed.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Sir.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20He is a cold bastard.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22He's a queer one, all right.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26He's just trying to get through this war, like the rest of us.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29I'd rather him than Florence back there.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Captain Weir's all right.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34Jesus Christ!
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Don't Fritz ever stop for tea?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Nor for breakfast, nor dinner.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Move out!
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Douglas, look at me.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57I'm here, Douglas.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Hold onto my arm.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Grip harder.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Harder, Douglas!
0:22:09 > 0:22:10There you are.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13Do you have a sweetheart, Douglas?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Morphine!
0:22:17 > 0:22:19You do? What's her name?
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Iris.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Iris.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27I want you to think of her...
0:22:27 > 0:22:30I want you to think of the last time that you saw her,
0:22:30 > 0:22:34and I want you to think of the first things you will say to her when you see her again.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Think of her...
0:22:47 > 0:22:49FOR GOD'S SAKE, MORPHINE!
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Keep thinking of her. Keep thinking.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Keep gripping. Keep thinking of her.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Keep gripping my arm.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31Get him out of here.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Bad luck...
0:24:08 > 0:24:09today.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16This war provides daily lessons
0:24:16 > 0:24:19in the extraordinary simplicity of the human anatomy.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20See this muscle here?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I never knew that there was another one...
0:24:23 > 0:24:26here, inside the sartorius.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Not until I saw it.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31You're drunk.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Not nearly enough.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Who's she?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Someone I once knew.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Would you believe it if I said I've never been with a woman?
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Never?
0:25:06 > 0:25:07How old are you, Weir?
0:25:09 > 0:25:10Old enough.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13HE LAUGHS
0:25:13 > 0:25:16BOTH LAUGH
0:25:17 > 0:25:18The next village.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26We don't want you to die curious.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Your family are close, Monsieur?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22No. No, I have no family.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23No parents?
0:26:23 > 0:26:24No. No parents.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26My, um...
0:26:26 > 0:26:27My father before I was born,
0:26:27 > 0:26:30and my mother when I was four.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Then you must have children, Monsieur.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38They are the greatest gift.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40People say that.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Gregoire, how many is that now?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Five, but one is a fat one.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53I promised him a centime for each one that he caught.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Then you're more foolish than I thought.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01It's too hot.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09It's beautiful.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10Maman?
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Do we know her, Stephen?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15You mean Monsieur Wraysford, Lisette?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Gregoire, attention!
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Gregoire, you will bankrupt me!
0:27:43 > 0:27:44They're all asleep.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09(It's very beautiful here.)
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Yes.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21Yet, all around, there's such decay.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33I take bread to the workers.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41That's where I was going when you saw me in the Rue de la Place.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48The children are starving.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55My husband would not approve.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Madame, forgive me, but I cannot stay silent.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13At night, I hear you crying.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Maman! >
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Regardes, Maman, ce que Papa a attrape. >
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Everyone!
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Un souvenir, if you please.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Attention!
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Un...
0:29:48 > 0:29:50deux...
0:29:50 > 0:29:51trois...
0:29:54 > 0:29:55Perfect!
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Were you asleep?
0:32:34 > 0:32:35I don't know.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38Yes, sir.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42What's your name?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Firebrace.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Pick that up, Firebrace.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Some of my men think you tunnelers don't work fast enough,
0:32:56 > 0:32:58that you don't hear the noise of the enemy,
0:32:58 > 0:33:01so they're terrified of being blown up from underneath.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03And now they must escort you underground
0:33:03 > 0:33:05as well as fight a war above it.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07And in return...
0:33:09 > 0:33:11..you fall asleep on your watch,
0:33:11 > 0:33:14just 50 yards from the German front line.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22You know the punishment for falling asleep on sentry duty, Firebrace?
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Court-martial.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Sergeant Major Price will bring you down in the morning.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42Eyes skinned, Brennan.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43Yes, sir.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47Byrne, bail out some of this water if you don't want your feet to rot.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48Sir.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Smarten yourself up, lad.
0:35:01 > 0:35:02Cap on straight.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50Firebrace?
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Is there something wrong?
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Lieutenant Wraysford asked to see me, sir.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59He was asleep on sentry duty. It's punishable by firing squad.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06For Christ's sake, Lieutenant! You can't be serious!
0:36:06 > 0:36:08He's the best tunneler I've got.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Sit down, Firebrace. Have a drink.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22No.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Thank you, Captain.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26Sit down.
0:36:44 > 0:36:45My son's not well.
0:36:48 > 0:36:49My...
0:36:49 > 0:36:51wife...
0:36:51 > 0:36:52she says it's worse this week.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Diphtheria.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04You turn it over in your mind.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07Funny, you know.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13Your head's here, but your heart's always somewhere else.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Do you have children, sir?
0:37:34 > 0:37:35No.
0:37:38 > 0:37:39No, I don't.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42I've not been sleeping properly...
0:37:42 > 0:37:45I have two men on guard in a shell hole in no man's land
0:37:45 > 0:37:48for three days with their feet rotting in their boots.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50What happens if one of them falls asleep?
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Each one of them is someone's son.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Yes...
0:38:01 > 0:38:03sir.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08You a gambling man, Firebrace?
0:38:08 > 0:38:11No, Sir. I don't believe in chance.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Tap that top card.
0:38:18 > 0:38:19(Tap it.)
0:38:30 > 0:38:32For Christ's sake, Lieutenant!
0:38:32 > 0:38:35You don't have the authority to have this man shot.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Seems like the man upstairs is on your side today, Firebrace.
0:38:58 > 0:38:59The ace...
0:39:00 > 0:39:02..power and stability.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05No further charge.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15You may go, Firebrace.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Yes, Captain.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03MEN MUTTER
0:40:11 > 0:40:16I should fire every one of them and let them go hungry.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18One cannot deny progress, Monsieur.
0:40:18 > 0:40:23When the world is demanding more and we must supply them with what they need.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26But they do not understand commerce.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31One must be fearless, if one is to survive.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33WORKERS CHANT OUTSIDE
0:40:36 > 0:40:37Big order.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40French military.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42WORKERS CONTINUE TO CHANT
0:40:47 > 0:40:49PIANO PLAYS
0:41:39 > 0:41:40Uh...
0:41:41 > 0:41:42Jeanne?
0:41:52 > 0:41:54This is my darling sister, Jeanne.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Jeanne. Enchante.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58And this is Monsieur Wraysford, our visitor from abroad.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22(MIMICKING) Monsieur! Monsieur! Raoul!
0:42:22 > 0:42:26- C'est pas tres convaincant? - Non, pas du tout.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30Quoi! C'est pas bien? Je prie pour ma belle soeur.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33C'est mieux, quand meme, hein?
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Ah!
0:42:35 > 0:42:38My sister was just reminding me that as children we used to say
0:42:38 > 0:42:42that I would open a shop in Paris
0:42:42 > 0:42:45and she would live in the jungle and be a missionary.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47But only after your lover had rejected you.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Maman!
0:42:49 > 0:42:54What about you, Monsieur? What did you imagine as a little boy?
0:42:55 > 0:42:57The usual, I suspect.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01And what was that?
0:43:01 > 0:43:03A life of sorts.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07No adventures at all?
0:43:10 > 0:43:14Every child should wish for adventure, Monsieur.
0:43:18 > 0:43:19Lisette...
0:43:22 > 0:43:24That's the way all the young ladies are wearing it.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29Do you not think it should be a little higher, Monsieur?
0:43:32 > 0:43:33Er...
0:43:35 > 0:43:37..maybe a little higher?
0:43:37 > 0:43:38Lisette.
0:43:44 > 0:43:45Gregoire!
0:43:45 > 0:43:48- You bat. I'll bowl.- D'accord.
0:43:48 > 0:43:49THEY CHUCKLE
0:43:52 > 0:43:54THEY WHISPER
0:43:55 > 0:43:57TUNING FORK CHIMES
0:43:57 > 0:44:00MAN SINGS IN FRENCH
0:44:05 > 0:44:07You must think we are silly, Monsieur.
0:44:09 > 0:44:11But we see each other so little.
0:44:11 > 0:44:13Then when we are together...
0:44:13 > 0:44:18Not at all. She seems very happy now that you are here.
0:44:18 > 0:44:19No.
0:44:19 > 0:44:24I don't think it is MY visit, Monsieur Wraysford.
0:44:27 > 0:44:31At last she has someone under 40 to keep her company.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43- You never married, Madame?- No.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47I resisted my father's choice for me.
0:44:49 > 0:44:50And Isabelle did not?
0:44:53 > 0:44:54Be careful, Monsieur.
0:44:59 > 0:45:01My sister is very dear,
0:45:01 > 0:45:05but I am afraid you will be the one who is hurt.
0:45:08 > 0:45:09APPLAUSE
0:45:12 > 0:45:15MAN: Merci beaucoup, merci.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42- Have you read it - Freud? - No, sir.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44Pity.
0:45:44 > 0:45:48- Captain Weir said you wished to see me.- Yes.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51We are sure Fritz is going to break through any day now,
0:45:51 > 0:45:54but we need to keep laying charges.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58I need you down with those tunnellers.
0:46:01 > 0:46:05It's not natural to be buried alive, I know, but, er,
0:46:05 > 0:46:07we need a regular rota going down with them
0:46:07 > 0:46:09if we are ever to mobilize near Amiens...
0:46:09 > 0:46:11Where, sir?
0:46:11 > 0:46:13Amiens. In around six weeks.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15Yes. You know it?
0:46:16 > 0:46:18I spent a summer there before the war.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24I will not... I will not go down that tunnel, sir.
0:46:24 > 0:46:28I did what you asked, I went over their basic training with them. For God's sake, is that not enough?
0:46:34 > 0:46:36You're curious to me, Wraysford.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38I've seen all that rubbish in your dugout.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40Your carved figures and bits of candlestick.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42You're quite superstitious.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47- Aren't we all?- No. An officer can't afford to be superstitious.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50Our lives depend on strategy and tactics,
0:46:50 > 0:46:53- not matchsticks or card games. - It passes the time.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08You'll go down with them.
0:47:12 > 0:47:13All right. Dismissed.
0:47:41 > 0:47:43Armitage, Byrne and Tipper.
0:47:49 > 0:47:52Here, give us that. You do my watch tonight.
0:47:55 > 0:47:56Cheers.
0:47:58 > 0:48:01Oi, what about me?
0:48:01 > 0:48:03Give over, will you?
0:48:03 > 0:48:07- Cigarettes out. - Wraysford, you joining us today?
0:48:07 > 0:48:09It would seem so.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12You keep that pump working.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14- Brennan, you go first. - Yes, sir.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56There better be no crawling.
0:48:59 > 0:49:00Just shut up, Byrne.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22(Down here.)
0:49:41 > 0:49:43Fighting tunnel.
0:49:43 > 0:49:44Fighting.
0:49:44 > 0:49:47Listen - we've heard Fritz just been,
0:49:47 > 0:49:50so if they break free, move back yourself.
0:49:51 > 0:49:54We stick together and talk only when I do.
0:49:57 > 0:49:59Firebrace?
0:50:02 > 0:50:03You sure this will hold?
0:50:05 > 0:50:07It's not up to London Underground standards, sir,
0:50:07 > 0:50:11but I reckon you could run a train through it good enough.
0:50:23 > 0:50:25Brennan, you first, then Byrne.
0:50:42 > 0:50:44I can't! I can't!
0:50:45 > 0:50:47I can't!
0:50:51 > 0:50:52No, sir.
0:50:55 > 0:50:56I'm infantry.
0:50:56 > 0:50:58I'm not supposed to be down here.
0:50:58 > 0:51:01I'll take my chance in a trench, but not in a bloody hole.
0:51:01 > 0:51:05None of us signed up for this, Byrne. But if the sewer rats can do it, so can you.
0:51:05 > 0:51:09You will go down that tunnel. Or I'll send you on every patrol until you've cut the wire
0:51:09 > 0:51:11from here to Switzerland.
0:52:13 > 0:52:16MUFFLED GERMAN VOICES
0:52:21 > 0:52:23GERMAN VOICES GET LOUDER

0:53:51 > 0:53:53GUNFIRE CONTINUES
0:54:05 > 0:54:09- You're leaving already? - Yes. I must leave on business. I will not be back until tomorrow.
0:54:09 > 0:54:11I leave you in charge of the factory, Monsieur..
0:54:11 > 0:54:13- Jeanne, are you ready?- Oui.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15Tell her, Rene. Tell her to stay.
0:54:15 > 0:54:17I will not let you leave today.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20Do not be silly, your sister cannot visit for ever.
0:54:24 > 0:54:26You are shaking. Have you a chill?
0:54:26 > 0:54:27No.
0:54:30 > 0:54:32Marches avec moi.
0:54:44 > 0:54:45Au revoir.
0:55:33 > 0:55:34I am so sleepy.
0:55:37 > 0:55:42- Merci.- A walk in the garden and then a little nap, I think. - A walk is a good idea.
0:55:44 > 0:55:46Do you want to go into town?
0:55:47 > 0:55:49No, I think just a nap.
0:55:54 > 0:55:58Wake me if I am not up by five, please.
0:56:38 > 0:56:39Excuse me.

0:58:35 > 0:58:36Get him out! Get him out!
0:58:36 > 0:58:38Move!
0:58:48 > 0:58:50EXPLOSIONS CONTINUE
0:58:50 > 0:58:52CONFUSED SHOUTS
1:02:07 > 1:02:08EXXPLOSIONS IN DISTANCE

1:02:23 > 1:02:26Papa! Papa est arrive.
1:02:33 > 1:02:37I can't look at you. I am going to give myself away.
1:02:48 > 1:02:49Rene.
1:02:49 > 1:02:50All's well?
1:02:50 > 1:02:51Bonjour.
1:02:51 > 1:02:53Bonjour.
1:02:53 > 1:02:56WORKERS CHANT: Nous avons des droits!
1:02:56 > 1:02:58Nous avons des droits!
1:02:58 > 1:02:59Nous avons des droits!
1:02:59 > 1:03:03This malevolence has spread to the other workers.
1:03:03 > 1:03:06"Nous devons rester unis dans ce combat ou nous tomberons tous."
1:03:06 > 1:03:10We must stand together in this matter or we will all fall.
1:03:10 > 1:03:12CHANTING CONTINUES
1:03:20 > 1:03:23Does she seem preoccupied to you?
1:03:28 > 1:03:29My wife?
1:03:31 > 1:03:32Um...
1:03:34 > 1:03:35I am sorry. I'm sorry.
1:03:35 > 1:03:38No, not at all.
1:03:38 > 1:03:41- But she doesn't.- I'm sorry. You're right, you're right.
1:03:42 > 1:03:44You are very good for us, Monsieur.
1:04:25 > 1:04:26Morphine.
1:04:28 > 1:04:30Morphine.
1:04:32 > 1:04:35No, he's gone. Name, tag him and lay him out.
1:05:31 > 1:05:34No, no, a moment longer.
1:05:36 > 1:05:38Rene will be home really soon.
1:05:59 > 1:06:01(Do you feel guilty?)
1:06:04 > 1:06:05No.
1:06:12 > 1:06:13Is that terrible?
1:06:16 > 1:06:18I don't know why, but no...
1:06:21 > 1:06:22..no, I don't believe it is.
1:06:29 > 1:06:30Perhaps I should.
1:06:37 > 1:06:39You must want more.
1:06:40 > 1:06:41Than what?
1:06:45 > 1:06:47Than picnics...
1:06:48 > 1:06:52..and endless dinners, the numbing hours with him.
1:06:52 > 1:06:55Let us not talk of this, Stephen.
1:06:55 > 1:06:56- I could take care of you.- Please!
1:06:58 > 1:07:00(I could take care of you.)
1:07:02 > 1:07:03So that he won't hurt you any more.
1:07:04 > 1:07:06He doesn't mean to hurt me.
1:07:06 > 1:07:08Then why does he do it?
1:07:13 > 1:07:15He grows frustrated.
1:07:19 > 1:07:20He can't...
1:07:22 > 1:07:25..for some reason, with me...
1:07:25 > 1:07:27He is unable to.
1:07:37 > 1:07:39My boy...
1:07:43 > 1:07:44So serious.
1:07:51 > 1:07:54Now that you are here, he can't hurt me at all.
1:08:00 > 1:08:03How does this fasten?
1:08:04 > 1:08:05How does...? Is it...?
1:08:08 > 1:08:09SHE LAUGHS
1:08:40 > 1:08:42Mademoiselle.
1:08:44 > 1:08:47The trees are too close together.
1:08:47 > 1:08:51Or perhaps you are trying to sketch Maman?

1:08:57 > 1:08:59Isabelle.
1:09:12 > 1:09:15- What do you mean?- I have seen you
1:09:15 > 1:09:17when you think we are all asleep.
1:09:20 > 1:09:22Do you not want me?
1:09:23 > 1:09:26Do you not want to do those things to me?
1:09:35 > 1:09:37She is not even my mother.
1:09:54 > 1:09:57She need only say a word.
1:09:57 > 1:09:58She won't.
1:10:02 > 1:10:03Leave.
1:10:15 > 1:10:16This is madness.
1:10:48 > 1:10:49Did you want her?
1:10:50 > 1:10:52She's a child.
1:10:54 > 1:10:56Did you?
1:10:57 > 1:10:59I want you.

1:11:47 > 1:11:49Morning, beautiful.
1:11:49 > 1:11:50Fancy a bit of that, Jack?
1:11:50 > 1:11:52Too early for me.
1:11:52 > 1:11:53Oi, I'm starving.
1:11:53 > 1:11:55Put 'em away. You're putting me off me eggs.
1:11:58 > 1:12:02- Who's the new brass? - Must be Wraysford's replacement.
1:12:02 > 1:12:04Do you know where they put him?
1:12:04 > 1:12:05Over with the rest of them.
1:12:05 > 1:12:09Might be a brass but we're all the same when we're dead.
1:12:32 > 1:12:33Sir.
1:12:34 > 1:12:36Lieutenant Cartwright.
1:12:36 > 1:12:40He'll be taking over from Lieutenant Wraysford.
1:12:40 > 1:12:42Yes, sir.
1:12:45 > 1:12:48Sir, has Lieutenant Wraysford got a family?
1:12:48 > 1:12:50I don't know...
1:12:52 > 1:12:54I really don't know.
1:13:00 > 1:13:02Someone should write to his family, sir.
1:13:05 > 1:13:06Send his badge.
1:13:10 > 1:13:11Yes...
1:13:22 > 1:13:24Would you like me to go, sir?
1:13:29 > 1:13:31Say a prayer?
1:13:34 > 1:13:36Yes, Firebrace.
1:13:41 > 1:13:42That would be very...
1:13:44 > 1:13:48..kind. Yes, if you wouldn't mind.
1:13:50 > 1:13:51Captain.
1:14:09 > 1:14:11- Get me a souvenir?- Get it yourself.
1:14:11 > 1:14:15- You're going soft, Jack. You'll miss breakfast.- Save us some.
1:14:51 > 1:14:54Another order in today.
1:14:54 > 1:14:552,000 more coats for the military.
1:14:57 > 1:15:00The promise of five francs extra in their pay and they just look at me.
1:15:02 > 1:15:04Where's their sense of national duty?!
1:15:04 > 1:15:07We'll break the strikers yet.
1:15:13 > 1:15:16The strangest thing, I heard today.
1:15:16 > 1:15:21Someone has been taking parcels of food to their families.
1:15:23 > 1:15:24Well, they...
1:15:26 > 1:15:28They do have some supporters, sir.
1:15:28 > 1:15:31One or two sympathetic men.
1:15:31 > 1:15:32No.
1:15:32 > 1:15:37This is the oddest part. It was a woman.
1:15:37 > 1:15:39Apparently of some rank.
1:15:43 > 1:15:45Now, isn't that the strangest thing?
1:15:47 > 1:15:49The children were hungry.
1:15:51 > 1:15:55I saw them going through the dustbins in Saint-Leu.
1:15:56 > 1:15:59Don't ask me to stop, because I'll do it again.
1:15:59 > 1:16:03- Isabelle...- Punish the men, not their families.
1:16:08 > 1:16:09Leave the room.
1:16:18 > 1:16:20Lisette, I said leave the room.
1:16:22 > 1:16:25- It is all your fault.- Lisette!
1:16:27 > 1:16:31- We were happy before you came. - Your father is right. Leave the room.
1:16:41 > 1:16:46- I discounted these rumours, even though it was your name attached to them.- Rene...- Be quiet.
1:16:47 > 1:16:50Monsieur, if you please, I would like to be alone with my wife.
1:16:55 > 1:16:56- Sir?- No.
1:17:02 > 1:17:03Let him stay.
1:17:11 > 1:17:13I want him to stay.
1:17:32 > 1:17:35There was another piece of idle talk. I chose to ignore it.
1:17:35 > 1:17:37I'm so sorry...
1:17:40 > 1:17:42I meant you no harm.
1:17:42 > 1:17:44This boy...
1:17:45 > 1:17:47This English boy!
1:17:51 > 1:17:52In which room?
1:17:55 > 1:17:58In my own house! Which room?
1:17:59 > 1:18:04- I pursued your wife, sir. I seduced her.- You have never taken the trouble to know me, Rene.
1:18:04 > 1:18:06- Forgive me(!)- Yes, I forgive you.
1:18:06 > 1:18:09I forgive you any wrong you have done me...
1:18:10 > 1:18:15- ..and I ask you to forgive me for all the wrong I have done to you. - You will leave my house, now.
1:18:15 > 1:18:17(Then I will go with him.)
1:18:46 > 1:18:49You think you will be able to keep her?

1:21:06 > 1:21:07Maman!
1:21:07 > 1:21:09Maman!
1:21:09 > 1:21:10Maman!
1:21:12 > 1:21:14Isabelle!
1:21:15 > 1:21:18If you go with him,
1:21:18 > 1:21:20you go to hell.

1:23:53 > 1:23:57will be relieved that we are going to attack.
1:23:57 > 1:23:59GUNFIRE AND SHELLFIRE
1:23:59 > 1:24:00How do we look?
1:24:00 > 1:24:02Happy.
