0:00:58 > 0:01:00SHELLS EXPLODE IN THE DISTANCE

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Who's that?

0:01:05 > 0:01:07I don't know.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Could be a German.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Unlikely.

0:01:19 > 0:01:20Do you have a gun?

0:01:20 > 0:01:22No. Do you?

0:01:23 > 0:01:24No.

0:01:29 > 0:01:30Lieutenant Mould.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Welcome to the Tank Corps.

0:01:33 > 0:01:34Which one of you's the mechanic?

0:01:36 > 0:01:37That'd be me, sir.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41- Do you know what happens to a tank when it breaks down?- No, sir.

0:01:41 > 0:01:46The Germans come up from behind and they stuff it, right up the arse.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48And we don't want that, do we?

0:01:48 > 0:01:50- No, sir.- No, sir.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52You'll get the hang of it.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55A tank's like any other machine of war.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Point yours at the enemy and hope they die first.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Shall we?

0:02:14 > 0:02:16HORSE WHINNIES

0:02:20 > 0:02:21Look at that!

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Here she is, the Niveleur.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Is that French or something?

0:02:28 > 0:02:31It is indeed French or something, Private Weston.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33It means the leveller. Appropriate, don't you think?

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Burns...

0:02:37 > 0:02:40..if you have to drop something, try and make it the pigeon.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Sorry, sir. It won't happen again.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45What's the explosives for, sir?

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Germans would love their very own Mark V to play with.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51We fall into enemy hands, we have to spoil the fun and blow her up.

0:02:53 > 0:02:54With us still inside?

0:02:54 > 0:02:56I wouldn't recommend it.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58She's beautiful, sir.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02We are going to be a part of the biggest

0:03:02 > 0:03:05mechanical assault that has ever been.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07We rode into this war on horses.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09We'll ride out of it in tanks.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Welcome to the future.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13SPANNER FALLS

0:03:13 > 0:03:14Bollocks to the future.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19She's pulling left. This rate we'll still be driving circles round this bloody wood

0:03:19 > 0:03:22- when the Germans reach London. - This is Private Dodds.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25- We've put him in charge of morale. - I can fix her.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Who the hell is this?

0:03:27 > 0:03:28He's a mechanic.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Can I have a poke around under the bonnet, sir?

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Be my guest.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56All right?

0:04:11 > 0:04:12Is that a letter from home?

0:04:12 > 0:04:14Oh, um...

0:04:18 > 0:04:22Blimey, you've got something worth fighting for, haven't you?

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Shame to survive the war just to go home and be murdered

0:04:25 > 0:04:26by your missus, though, eh?

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Ring? Probably lying in no-man's land, right?

0:04:30 > 0:04:32HE LAUGHS

0:04:32 > 0:04:34These are mine.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50No, no, no. This way they're always safe. They're always close,

0:04:50 > 0:04:52like a proper family.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Sorry, Fred Firth.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Chas Rowland.- Nice to meet you.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59So how long have you been married, Chas?

0:04:59 > 0:05:01ENGINE TURNS OVER

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Well, I'll be damned. He fixed it!

0:05:09 > 0:05:11He's good.

0:05:16 > 0:05:17You all right, hen?

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Where were you stationed before this?

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Came straight here from basic.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29- Ah, so, you're a conscript, then? - Yeah.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Well, let me tell you something, you fancy little prick.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35Unlike you, I've been here since the beginning,

0:05:35 > 0:05:36and you know what I learnt?

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Cowards always die first,

0:05:38 > 0:05:41and you look like a coward to me.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45I'm going to make it through this,

0:05:45 > 0:05:47go home, war hero.

0:05:49 > 0:05:50Don't get in my way.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21Primary objective, attack the German front line,

0:06:21 > 0:06:24break through their trenches...

0:06:25 > 0:06:27..here.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Make way for infantry support, neutralise their artillery,

0:06:31 > 0:06:36and then secure a position seven miles past the crossing point...

0:06:37 > 0:06:38..here.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Seven miles behind enemy lines?

0:06:40 > 0:06:43As of tomorrow morning, I suspect the antiquated view of what is

0:06:43 > 0:06:46and isn't a German line may have changed somewhat.

0:06:46 > 0:06:51But, yeah. It'll be hot. I'm told we'll have air support.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53What do you mean by air support, sir?

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Support from the air, Weston.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00Weaponised planes providing covering fire.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Oh, shit the bed! Can we do that...sir?

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Well, we're going to give it a bloody good go.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08We are going to smash open a hole in their lines so wide

0:07:08 > 0:07:12and so deep they will never recover. Sound good?

0:07:12 > 0:07:16Sounds very good. Sounds very good indeed.

0:07:18 > 0:07:19Lieutenant Cohen.

0:07:19 > 0:07:23So you told them, cats out the bag, hey? Good to see you, Mouldy.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25And you.

0:07:25 > 0:07:26Now...

0:07:27 > 0:07:29..as promised.

0:07:29 > 0:07:30Is that the good Scotch, sir?

0:07:30 > 0:07:34This? It's the weakest, most piss-filled bottle

0:07:34 > 0:07:37of Protestant whisky I could find.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39- We had a wager.- Which I lost.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Apparently.- Weston, stow this somewhere, will you?

0:07:46 > 0:07:50So, this is the crew of the Niveleur?

0:07:52 > 0:07:56Well, you're in good hands. This man won't let you down.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59- The best of luck.- Aye, sir.

0:07:59 > 0:08:00I'll see you in the big show.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05THUNDER RUMBLES

0:08:10 > 0:08:14- What's the bird for? - It's a homing pigeon.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17She'll take a message back to HQ if we want her to.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20She's our lifeline. Aren't you, hey?

0:08:23 > 0:08:27Though if Lieutenant Mould had his way, she'd be on a spit.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36"My darling Anne.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41"I cannot tell you where my earthly body is

0:08:41 > 0:08:43"but I can tell you where my heart lies.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46"It is with you in our home."

0:08:46 > 0:08:50- Is this you, Weston, you soppy bastard?- It's mine.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53Yeah, sorry, Chas. Didn't have you pegged for the romantic sort.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Mind your own business.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Listen, the first rule of working in a tank crew

0:08:57 > 0:09:02is don't leave your love letters lying around unless you want some bastard yanking himself off to them.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04THUNDER INTENSIFIES

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Weston. Weston!

0:09:42 > 0:09:45Don't eat too much too quickly. You'll just throw it up later.

0:09:48 > 0:09:49Nice.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Nice to have a woman around the place.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Well, another one, anyway.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57O'Brien, you Irish bastard,

0:09:57 > 0:10:00get some grapeshot in that cannon. I want a body count today.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02All right, Rowland, let's get moving.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04We're a long way from home and she's not built for speed.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06What, you want me to drive, sir?

0:10:06 > 0:10:08- You know how, don't you?- Yeah.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Good. Let's get moving, then.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Weston, you're on the front gun.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22ENGINE STARTS AND REVS

0:10:35 > 0:10:38That's the reconnaissance squad. They'll lead us out,

0:10:38 > 0:10:39just follow the light.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08SOMEONE WHISTLES

0:11:10 > 0:11:13ROAR OF PLANES OVERHEAD

0:11:13 > 0:11:17They're here! They're here!

0:11:37 > 0:11:38Now we just wait for our guns.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41What do you mean, sir?

0:11:41 > 0:11:44They'll fire a few shells to disguise the sound of our tanks.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48Not long now, boys.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58They'll be bombing the German trenches any minute now.

0:12:06 > 0:12:07HUGE EXPLOSION IN THE DISTANCE

0:12:07 > 0:12:08Here we go!

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Weston's pissed himself, sir.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18Don't worry, Princess. We won't let anything happen to ya!

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Get us moving!

0:12:21 > 0:12:24Come on. Mike, you can do this.

0:12:24 > 0:12:25Come on!

0:12:29 > 0:12:30One, two...

0:13:06 > 0:13:08We're going over a German trench!

0:13:10 > 0:13:11All men to positions!

0:13:23 > 0:13:25They haven't got a bloody clue.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32Weston's down.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34Pick him up.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38The bastards!

0:13:40 > 0:13:43We're not walking this time!

0:13:44 > 0:13:47This is it! This is it, boys!

0:13:50 > 0:13:52We're in the war now!

0:14:00 > 0:14:01They're surrendering!

0:14:02 > 0:14:04Fire!

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Dodds, the bastards are surrendering.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Reload, O'Brien! Reload!

0:14:10 > 0:14:11Fire!

0:14:13 > 0:14:16Firth, shoot that bloody gun!

0:14:17 > 0:14:19Fire!

0:14:34 > 0:14:35Fire!

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Those guns haven't been knocked out, sir!

0:14:53 > 0:14:55We'll have to do it!

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Weave! Keep it moving!

0:15:05 > 0:15:06ENGINE WHIRRS TO A HALT

0:15:08 > 0:15:10CONTINUED GUNFIRE AND SHELLING

0:15:15 > 0:15:18- The engine's stopped. - It's not working!

0:15:18 > 0:15:19We can't stay here!

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Somebody get us moving!

0:15:21 > 0:15:22I'm on it!

0:15:23 > 0:15:26Weston, you get this fucking tank moving right now!

0:15:32 > 0:15:33Bloody fool.

0:15:35 > 0:15:36What's he doing, sir?

0:15:36 > 0:15:38He's trying to draw their fire.

0:15:38 > 0:15:42Someone get that engine started right now, goddamnit!

0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Get our tank moving now! - Shut up and let him get on with it!

0:15:47 > 0:15:48I say we bail.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51No! Nobody leave the boat! It's not safe!

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Right, stay put.

0:15:53 > 0:15:54Come on!

0:15:54 > 0:15:56Just wait one minute!

0:16:42 > 0:16:47Get that six-pounder into the tree line! Keep firing, dammit!

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Guns are out, sir.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08MACHINE GUNS CLACK

0:17:11 > 0:17:14- We're clear! Cease fire!- Cease fire! - Cease fire!

0:17:39 > 0:17:41THEY COUGH

0:17:48 > 0:17:52Weston, stop these fumes!

0:17:54 > 0:17:56HE CHOKES

0:18:11 > 0:18:14HE BREATHES DEEPLY

0:18:39 > 0:18:43Get up, Chas. Get up. Get up!

0:18:53 > 0:18:54You all right, fella?

0:18:55 > 0:18:57Good man.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20She'll be waiting for you when you get home.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51The whole of the retreating German army are in that valley.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53If we go down there now we can inflict...

0:19:53 > 0:19:56If we go down there now, they'll blow us to bloody pieces.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58If you want us to attack tonight, you'd better come up with

0:19:58 > 0:20:01a plan more advanced than, "Drive down there and see how it goes."

0:20:01 > 0:20:03- If you disobey an order... - What? What will you do?

0:20:03 > 0:20:06Take us out of action in the middle of an offensive?

0:20:06 > 0:20:08I will personally ensure that neither you nor your crew

0:20:08 > 0:20:12- sees a single medal or citations. - Well, a minute ago you were personally ensuring that neither me

0:20:12 > 0:20:16nor my crew would ever see daylight again so I count this as progress.

0:20:19 > 0:20:20Arsehole!

0:20:28 > 0:20:30Don't think that I won't ask you to drive into certain death.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34But just know it'll be for a bloody good reason.

0:20:36 > 0:20:41No-one's gained this much ground in four years of fighting.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43You did well today.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45You'll do well again tomorrow.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59HE WHISTLES

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Weston.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05HE CARRIES ON WHISTLING

0:21:07 > 0:21:08Weston!

0:21:10 > 0:21:12I don't know what you've got to smile about, Weston.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15Good men died today because of you.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17I saw them burn.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Wasn't his fault.- No?- No.- No.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24While we were sat around scratching our arses waiting for him to do

0:21:24 > 0:21:27his job and fix that bloody engine, that other tank took lumps for us.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32- How many white feathers did you get, Weston?- Six.

0:21:32 > 0:21:36Six? Six! Six. Fuck me.

0:21:37 > 0:21:41Look, I'm sorry, mate, all right?

0:21:41 > 0:21:43My dad needed me at the garage.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45He was depending on me, Dodds.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48You're a liar and you're a coward.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Dodds...

0:21:50 > 0:21:53You can go fuck yourself, you jock bastard.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55Bloody lunatic.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57Come on!

0:21:58 > 0:22:00Get off me!

0:22:00 > 0:22:03SHOUTING AND COMMOTION

0:22:03 > 0:22:04I'm all right, I'm all right.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Dodds, go outside and cool off.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16I think he's dangerous, sir.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Good. He's supposed to be.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26He had two brothers, both of them younger than you, Weston.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29Both of them enlisted.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31One of them's missing, the other one's dead.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34Do you know what the wager I had with Lieutenant Cohen was?

0:22:36 > 0:22:40He bet me I couldn't take this rabble and turn it into a team.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43I told him he owed me a bottle of whisky.

0:22:44 > 0:22:45I can't give it back to him now,

0:22:45 > 0:22:48so we'd better be damn sure I don't break my bet.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53For now, just try to stay out of Dodds' way.

0:23:06 > 0:23:07PIGEONS COO

0:23:07 > 0:23:09DOOR OPENS

0:23:12 > 0:23:14Setting off soon, pal.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21So, where were you before all this?

0:23:21 > 0:23:2217th West Yorks.

0:23:24 > 0:23:2516 months on front line.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27What made you try tanks?

0:23:27 > 0:23:29Seemed like the regiment to join

0:23:29 > 0:23:31if you want to make a difference, so I signed up.

0:23:32 > 0:23:33You?

0:23:33 > 0:23:38I was infantry as well. I had too many nights out on no-man's-land.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41I was feeling like a sniper's drawing a sight on you.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45I was too exposed.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47I like to...

0:23:47 > 0:23:49I like to reach out and touch the walls, you know.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51It calms me down.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57She write often?

0:23:59 > 0:24:01She's not the letter-writing type.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04"Your children are growing."

0:24:05 > 0:24:07That's what mine said to me in the last one.

0:24:09 > 0:24:10"Your children are growing."

0:24:12 > 0:24:15My daughter, when she was little, wasn't interested in me.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Just wanted her mother...

0:24:18 > 0:24:20..which is normal, I suppose.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23But I was determined. I said to her, I said,

0:24:23 > 0:24:27"You will love me. I will do whatever it takes to win you over."

0:24:28 > 0:24:29And I did.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32She'd run through walls for me now.

0:24:36 > 0:24:37And my boy...

0:24:42 > 0:24:44..going to be three soon.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51Now, if I die, he won't even remember me.

0:24:51 > 0:24:52Missed my chance, haven't I?

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Grown up without me so far.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Won't know any different.

0:25:06 > 0:25:07Leaving in two minutes.

0:29:33 > 0:29:34Did he hit anyone?

0:29:36 > 0:29:39No, sir, he was firing high.

0:29:39 > 0:29:40He's lost it.

0:29:40 > 0:29:41He'll be all right.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44- He just needs some time, that's all. - No, he won't.

0:29:44 > 0:29:45We have to leave him.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52This bus is full of explosives, petrol and ammunition.

0:29:54 > 0:29:55He's one of us.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57We're a machine.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59If there's a faulty part WE break down.

0:29:59 > 0:30:01Sir, if we do this, he'll die.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03It doesn't matter.

0:30:03 > 0:30:04Sir?

0:30:04 > 0:30:07It doesn't matter if he dies, Weston.

0:30:16 > 0:30:18Take us into that valley,

0:30:18 > 0:30:20away from the enemy as far as you can.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30I won't make it home.

0:39:10 > 0:39:12I just want to say thank you.

0:39:16 > 0:39:17We need a mechanic.

0:39:17 > 0:39:20If you couldn't fix the bus, I'd have left you there,

0:39:20 > 0:39:21and I'd have been glad to.

0:39:24 > 0:39:28Stop trying to prove yourself to us, Weston. You can't.

0:39:28 > 0:39:29I'm sorry.

0:39:35 > 0:39:36I'm sorry about your brothers.

0:39:38 > 0:39:42- I know how much they meant to you. - Nah. No, you don't.

0:40:42 > 0:40:44This...

0:40:45 > 0:40:47..is our final end point.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54If we can get our bus from here...

0:40:55 > 0:40:58..to there... then maybe the war turns our way.

0:40:59 > 0:41:01This...

0:41:01 > 0:41:03is the route we take to get back.

0:41:06 > 0:41:07Driving home, boys.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10Simple as that.

0:42:54 > 0:42:56When we stop again, you've got to take a look at that engine.

0:42:56 > 0:42:59There's nothing I can do about the fumes - it's the design.

0:42:59 > 0:43:01Listen, I won't be poisoned to death

0:43:01 > 0:43:05because the conscientious objector doesn't feel like doing his job.

0:43:05 > 0:43:06This ain't a job.

0:43:06 > 0:43:08Fixing cars is a job.

0:43:08 > 0:43:10Working in a shop is a job.

0:43:10 > 0:43:12That's decent, that's honest.

0:43:12 > 0:43:15Killing people, leaving your mates to die alone in the mud -

0:43:15 > 0:43:17that's something else.

0:43:17 > 0:43:18He was a good man.

0:43:19 > 0:43:21There, Michael, I've said it!

0:43:21 > 0:43:24Firth was a good man and we put him out.

0:43:27 > 0:43:30You might not be used to war, but the rest of us here are.

0:43:30 > 0:43:31We've all killed people.

0:43:31 > 0:43:34We don't need somebody like you judging us for it.

0:43:34 > 0:43:36I'm not the one you need to worry about, mate.

0:43:36 > 0:43:40You think you're all going to go home war heroes.

0:43:40 > 0:43:42But no-one back home wants to know about it.

0:43:42 > 0:43:45No-one wants to know about this tank, or this mission,

0:43:45 > 0:43:47or me, or you, or your dead fucking brothers, Dodds.

0:43:47 > 0:43:48Shut up!

0:43:48 > 0:43:51You've been gone so long they've got over it.

0:43:51 > 0:43:52They've got over all of us.

0:43:52 > 0:43:54Maybe I ain't one of you, Dodds,

0:43:54 > 0:43:58but when I get back, all they'll see is another fucking soldier

0:52:10 > 0:52:11Can I come in?

0:52:18 > 0:52:20I don't understand.

0:52:20 > 0:52:22Were you friends with my husband?

0:52:22 > 0:52:25Yes. No! I mean, I found him.

0:52:25 > 0:52:27He were waiting to be buried.

0:52:42 > 0:52:44His letter back to you.

0:52:44 > 0:52:46It was like the one I'd written home.

0:52:46 > 0:52:48The one that, if I died, I hoped would have been delivered.

0:52:48 > 0:52:51Not stuck in the ground with me.

0:52:51 > 0:52:53No man wants to think that his last words wouldn't make it home.

0:52:53 > 0:52:55So I carried it.

0:52:55 > 0:52:58I told myself I'd carry it home. To you.

0:52:59 > 0:53:00Where is it?
