We're in the war now!

SHELLS EXPLODE IN THE DISTANCE

0:00:580:01:00

Who's that?

0:01:030:01:05

I don't know.

0:01:050:01:07

Could be a German.

0:01:090:01:11

Unlikely.

0:01:140:01:16

Do you have a gun?

0:01:190:01:20

No. Do you?

0:01:200:01:22

No.

0:01:230:01:24

Lieutenant Mould.

0:01:290:01:30

Welcome to the Tank Corps.

0:01:310:01:33

Which one of you's the mechanic?

0:01:330:01:34

That'd be me, sir.

0:01:360:01:37

-Do you know what happens to a tank when it breaks down?

-No, sir.

0:01:370:01:41

The Germans come up from behind and they stuff it, right up the arse.

0:01:410:01:46

And we don't want that, do we?

0:01:460:01:48

-No, sir.

-No, sir.

0:01:480:01:50

You'll get the hang of it.

0:01:500:01:52

A tank's like any other machine of war.

0:01:520:01:55

Point yours at the enemy and hope they die first.

0:01:550:01:57

Shall we?

0:01:580:02:00

HORSE WHINNIES

0:02:140:02:16

Look at that!

0:02:200:02:21

Here she is, the Niveleur.

0:02:240:02:26

Is that French or something?

0:02:260:02:28

It is indeed French or something, Private Weston.

0:02:280:02:31

It means the leveller. Appropriate, don't you think?

0:02:310:02:33

Burns...

0:02:340:02:36

..if you have to drop something, try and make it the pigeon.

0:02:370:02:40

Sorry, sir. It won't happen again.

0:02:400:02:42

What's the explosives for, sir?

0:02:430:02:45

Germans would love their very own Mark V to play with.

0:02:450:02:48

We fall into enemy hands, we have to spoil the fun and blow her up.

0:02:480:02:51

With us still inside?

0:02:530:02:54

I wouldn't recommend it.

0:02:540:02:56

She's beautiful, sir.

0:02:560:02:58

We are going to be a part of the biggest

0:02:590:03:02

mechanical assault that has ever been.

0:03:020:03:05

We rode into this war on horses.

0:03:050:03:07

We'll ride out of it in tanks.

0:03:070:03:09

Welcome to the future.

0:03:090:03:11

SPANNER FALLS

0:03:110:03:13

Bollocks to the future.

0:03:130:03:14

She's pulling left. This rate we'll still be driving circles round this bloody wood

0:03:150:03:19

-when the Germans reach London.

-This is Private Dodds.

0:03:190:03:22

-We've put him in charge of morale.

-I can fix her.

0:03:220:03:25

Who the hell is this?

0:03:250:03:27

He's a mechanic.

0:03:270:03:28

Can I have a poke around under the bonnet, sir?

0:03:290:03:31

Be my guest.

0:03:310:03:33

All right?

0:03:540:03:56

Is that a letter from home?

0:04:110:04:12

Oh, um...

0:04:120:04:14

Blimey, you've got something worth fighting for, haven't you?

0:04:180:04:22

Shame to survive the war just to go home and be murdered

0:04:220:04:25

by your missus, though, eh?

0:04:250:04:26

Ring? Probably lying in no-man's land, right?

0:04:280:04:30

HE LAUGHS

0:04:300:04:32

These are mine.

0:04:320:04:34

No, no, no. This way they're always safe. They're always close,

0:04:470:04:50

like a proper family.

0:04:500:04:52

Sorry, Fred Firth.

0:04:520:04:54

-Chas Rowland.

-Nice to meet you.

0:04:540:04:56

So how long have you been married, Chas?

0:04:560:04:59

ENGINE TURNS OVER

0:04:590:05:01

Well, I'll be damned. He fixed it!

0:05:010:05:04

He's good.

0:05:090:05:11

You all right, hen?

0:05:160:05:17

Where were you stationed before this?

0:05:210:05:23

Came straight here from basic.

0:05:230:05:25

-Ah, so, you're a conscript, then?

-Yeah.

0:05:250:05:29

Well, let me tell you something, you fancy little prick.

0:05:290:05:32

Unlike you, I've been here since the beginning,

0:05:320:05:35

and you know what I learnt?

0:05:350:05:36

Cowards always die first,

0:05:360:05:38

and you look like a coward to me.

0:05:380:05:41

I'm going to make it through this,

0:05:430:05:45

go home, war hero.

0:05:450:05:47

Don't get in my way.

0:05:490:05:50

Primary objective, attack the German front line,

0:06:170:06:21

break through their trenches...

0:06:210:06:24

..here.

0:06:250:06:27

Make way for infantry support, neutralise their artillery,

0:06:280:06:31

and then secure a position seven miles past the crossing point...

0:06:310:06:36

..here.

0:06:370:06:38

Seven miles behind enemy lines?

0:06:380:06:40

As of tomorrow morning, I suspect the antiquated view of what is

0:06:400:06:43

and isn't a German line may have changed somewhat.

0:06:430:06:46

But, yeah. It'll be hot. I'm told we'll have air support.

0:06:460:06:51

What do you mean by air support, sir?

0:06:510:06:53

Support from the air, Weston.

0:06:530:06:55

Weaponised planes providing covering fire.

0:06:570:07:00

Oh, shit the bed! Can we do that...sir?

0:07:000:07:03

Well, we're going to give it a bloody good go.

0:07:030:07:06

We are going to smash open a hole in their lines so wide

0:07:060:07:08

and so deep they will never recover. Sound good?

0:07:080:07:12

Sounds very good. Sounds very good indeed.

0:07:120:07:16

Lieutenant Cohen.

0:07:180:07:19

So you told them, cats out the bag, hey? Good to see you, Mouldy.

0:07:190:07:23

And you.

0:07:230:07:25

Now...

0:07:250:07:26

..as promised.

0:07:270:07:29

Is that the good Scotch, sir?

0:07:290:07:30

This? It's the weakest, most piss-filled bottle

0:07:300:07:34

of Protestant whisky I could find.

0:07:340:07:37

-We had a wager.

-Which I lost.

0:07:370:07:39

-Apparently.

-Weston, stow this somewhere, will you?

0:07:410:07:44

So, this is the crew of the Niveleur?

0:07:460:07:50

Well, you're in good hands. This man won't let you down.

0:07:520:07:56

-The best of luck.

-Aye, sir.

0:07:560:07:59

I'll see you in the big show.

0:07:590:08:00

THUNDER RUMBLES

0:08:020:08:05

-What's the bird for?

-It's a homing pigeon.

0:08:100:08:14

She'll take a message back to HQ if we want her to.

0:08:140:08:17

She's our lifeline. Aren't you, hey?

0:08:170:08:20

Though if Lieutenant Mould had his way, she'd be on a spit.

0:08:230:08:27

"My darling Anne.

0:08:340:08:36

"I cannot tell you where my earthly body is

0:08:370:08:41

"but I can tell you where my heart lies.

0:08:410:08:43

"It is with you in our home."

0:08:430:08:46

-Is this you, Weston, you soppy bastard?

-It's mine.

0:08:460:08:50

Yeah, sorry, Chas. Didn't have you pegged for the romantic sort.

0:08:500:08:53

Mind your own business.

0:08:530:08:55

Listen, the first rule of working in a tank crew

0:08:550:08:57

is don't leave your love letters lying around unless you want some bastard yanking himself off to them.

0:08:570:09:02

THUNDER INTENSIFIES

0:09:020:09:04

Weston. Weston!

0:09:400:09:42

Don't eat too much too quickly. You'll just throw it up later.

0:09:420:09:45

Nice.

0:09:480:09:49

Nice to have a woman around the place.

0:09:490:09:51

Well, another one, anyway.

0:09:510:09:53

O'Brien, you Irish bastard,

0:09:550:09:57

get some grapeshot in that cannon. I want a body count today.

0:09:570:10:00

All right, Rowland, let's get moving.

0:10:000:10:02

We're a long way from home and she's not built for speed.

0:10:020:10:04

What, you want me to drive, sir?

0:10:040:10:06

-You know how, don't you?

-Yeah.

0:10:060:10:08

Good. Let's get moving, then.

0:10:080:10:10

Weston, you're on the front gun.

0:10:100:10:12

ENGINE STARTS AND REVS

0:10:190:10:22

That's the reconnaissance squad. They'll lead us out,

0:10:350:10:38

just follow the light.

0:10:380:10:39

SOMEONE WHISTLES

0:11:050:11:08

ROAR OF PLANES OVERHEAD

0:11:100:11:13

They're here! They're here!

0:11:130:11:17

Now we just wait for our guns.

0:11:370:11:38

What do you mean, sir?

0:11:390:11:41

They'll fire a few shells to disguise the sound of our tanks.

0:11:410:11:44

Not long now, boys.

0:11:460:11:48

They'll be bombing the German trenches any minute now.

0:11:550:11:58

HUGE EXPLOSION IN THE DISTANCE

0:12:060:12:07

Here we go!

0:12:070:12:08

Weston's pissed himself, sir.

0:12:130:12:15

Don't worry, Princess. We won't let anything happen to ya!

0:12:150:12:18

Get us moving!

0:12:180:12:20

Come on. Mike, you can do this.

0:12:210:12:24

Come on!

0:12:240:12:25

One, two...

0:12:290:12:30

We're going over a German trench!

0:13:060:13:08

All men to positions!

0:13:100:13:11

They haven't got a bloody clue.

0:13:230:13:25

Weston's down.

0:13:300:13:32

Pick him up.

0:13:320:13:34

The bastards!

0:13:350:13:38

We're not walking this time!

0:13:400:13:43

This is it! This is it, boys!

0:13:440:13:47

We're in the war now!

0:13:500:13:52

They're surrendering!

0:14:000:14:01

Fire!

0:14:020:14:04

Dodds, the bastards are surrendering.

0:14:060:14:08

Reload, O'Brien! Reload!

0:14:080:14:10

Fire!

0:14:100:14:11

Firth, shoot that bloody gun!

0:14:130:14:16

Fire!

0:14:170:14:19

Fire!

0:14:340:14:35

Those guns haven't been knocked out, sir!

0:14:510:14:53

We'll have to do it!

0:14:530:14:55

Weave! Keep it moving!

0:14:550:14:58

ENGINE WHIRRS TO A HALT

0:15:050:15:06

CONTINUED GUNFIRE AND SHELLING

0:15:080:15:10

-The engine's stopped.

-It's not working!

0:15:150:15:18

We can't stay here!

0:15:180:15:19

Somebody get us moving!

0:15:190:15:21

I'm on it!

0:15:210:15:22

Weston, you get this fucking tank moving right now!

0:15:230:15:26

Bloody fool.

0:15:320:15:33

What's he doing, sir?

0:15:350:15:36

He's trying to draw their fire.

0:15:360:15:38

Someone get that engine started right now, goddamnit!

0:15:380:15:42

-Get our tank moving now!

-Shut up and let him get on with it!

0:15:420:15:45

I say we bail.

0:15:470:15:48

No! Nobody leave the boat! It's not safe!

0:15:480:15:51

Right, stay put.

0:15:510:15:53

Come on!

0:15:530:15:54

Just wait one minute!

0:15:540:15:56

Try it now!

0:16:000:16:02

Come on!

0:16:020:16:03

Crank it, crank it!

0:16:050:16:07

Fucking have that!

0:16:170:16:19

Go! Now!

0:16:190:16:21

MASSIVE EXPLOSION

0:16:260:16:29

Dodds. Dodds! It's Cohen!

0:16:310:16:33

Keep firing.

0:16:410:16:42

Get that six-pounder into the tree line! Keep firing, dammit!

0:16:420:16:47

Guns are out, sir.

0:17:040:17:06

MACHINE GUNS CLACK

0:17:060:17:08

-We're clear! Cease fire!

-Cease fire!

-Cease fire!

0:17:110:17:14

THEY COUGH

0:17:390:17:41

Weston, stop these fumes!

0:17:480:17:52

HE CHOKES

0:17:540:17:56

HE BREATHES DEEPLY

0:18:110:18:14

Get up, Chas. Get up. Get up!

0:18:390:18:43

You all right, fella?

0:18:530:18:54

Good man.

0:18:550:18:57

She'll be waiting for you when you get home.

0:19:170:19:20

The whole of the retreating German army are in that valley.

0:19:490:19:51

If we go down there now we can inflict...

0:19:510:19:53

If we go down there now, they'll blow us to bloody pieces.

0:19:530:19:56

If you want us to attack tonight, you'd better come up with

0:19:560:19:58

a plan more advanced than, "Drive down there and see how it goes."

0:19:580:20:01

-If you disobey an order...

-What? What will you do?

0:20:010:20:03

Take us out of action in the middle of an offensive?

0:20:030:20:06

I will personally ensure that neither you nor your crew

0:20:060:20:08

-sees a single medal or citations.

-Well, a minute ago you were personally ensuring that neither me

0:20:080:20:12

nor my crew would ever see daylight again so I count this as progress.

0:20:120:20:16

Arsehole!

0:20:190:20:20

Don't think that I won't ask you to drive into certain death.

0:20:280:20:30

But just know it'll be for a bloody good reason.

0:20:320:20:34

No-one's gained this much ground in four years of fighting.

0:20:360:20:41

You did well today.

0:20:410:20:43

You'll do well again tomorrow.

0:20:430:20:45

HE WHISTLES

0:20:560:20:59

Weston.

0:21:010:21:03

HE CARRIES ON WHISTLING

0:21:030:21:05

Weston!

0:21:070:21:08

I don't know what you've got to smile about, Weston.

0:21:100:21:12

Good men died today because of you.

0:21:120:21:15

I saw them burn.

0:21:150:21:17

-Wasn't his fault.

-No?

-No.

-No.

0:21:170:21:20

While we were sat around scratching our arses waiting for him to do

0:21:200:21:24

his job and fix that bloody engine, that other tank took lumps for us.

0:21:240:21:27

-How many white feathers did you get, Weston?

-Six.

0:21:290:21:32

Six? Six! Six. Fuck me.

0:21:320:21:36

Look, I'm sorry, mate, all right?

0:21:370:21:41

My dad needed me at the garage.

0:21:410:21:43

He was depending on me, Dodds.

0:21:430:21:45

You're a liar and you're a coward.

0:21:460:21:48

Dodds...

0:21:480:21:50

You can go fuck yourself, you jock bastard.

0:21:500:21:53

Bloody lunatic.

0:21:530:21:55

Come on!

0:21:550:21:57

Get off me!

0:21:580:22:00

SHOUTING AND COMMOTION

0:22:000:22:03

I'm all right, I'm all right.

0:22:030:22:04

Dodds, go outside and cool off.

0:22:040:22:06

I think he's dangerous, sir.

0:22:140:22:16

Good. He's supposed to be.

0:22:160:22:18

He had two brothers, both of them younger than you, Weston.

0:22:230:22:26

Both of them enlisted.

0:22:260:22:29

One of them's missing, the other one's dead.

0:22:290:22:31

Do you know what the wager I had with Lieutenant Cohen was?

0:22:310:22:34

He bet me I couldn't take this rabble and turn it into a team.

0:22:360:22:40

I told him he owed me a bottle of whisky.

0:22:400:22:43

I can't give it back to him now,

0:22:440:22:45

so we'd better be damn sure I don't break my bet.

0:22:450:22:48

For now, just try to stay out of Dodds' way.

0:22:490:22:53

PIGEONS COO

0:23:060:23:07

DOOR OPENS

0:23:070:23:09

Setting off soon, pal.

0:23:120:23:14

So, where were you before all this?

0:23:190:23:21

17th West Yorks.

0:23:210:23:22

16 months on front line.

0:23:240:23:25

What made you try tanks?

0:23:250:23:27

Seemed like the regiment to join

0:23:270:23:29

if you want to make a difference, so I signed up.

0:23:290:23:31

You?

0:23:320:23:33

I was infantry as well. I had too many nights out on no-man's-land.

0:23:330:23:38

I was feeling like a sniper's drawing a sight on you.

0:23:380:23:41

I was too exposed.

0:23:430:23:45

I like to...

0:23:450:23:47

I like to reach out and touch the walls, you know.

0:23:470:23:49

It calms me down.

0:23:490:23:51

She write often?

0:23:550:23:57

She's not the letter-writing type.

0:23:590:24:01

"Your children are growing."

0:24:020:24:04

That's what mine said to me in the last one.

0:24:050:24:07

"Your children are growing."

0:24:090:24:10

My daughter, when she was little, wasn't interested in me.

0:24:120:24:15

Just wanted her mother...

0:24:150:24:17

..which is normal, I suppose.

0:24:180:24:20

But I was determined. I said to her, I said,

0:24:200:24:23

"You will love me. I will do whatever it takes to win you over."

0:24:230:24:27

And I did.

0:24:280:24:29

She'd run through walls for me now.

0:24:290:24:32

And my boy...

0:24:360:24:37

..going to be three soon.

0:24:420:24:44

Now, if I die, he won't even remember me.

0:24:470:24:51

Missed my chance, haven't I?

0:24:510:24:52

Grown up without me so far.

0:24:540:24:56

Won't know any different.

0:24:570:24:59

Leaving in two minutes.

0:25:060:25:07

Sorry...

0:26:000:26:02

I'm sorry.

0:26:030:26:04

'My darling Anne.

0:26:060:26:08

'I cannot tell you where my earthly body is as I write this,

0:26:080:26:12

'but I can tell you where my heart is.

'It is with you in our home...'

All right, out.

0:26:550:26:56

-No, no!

0:27:110:27:14

Move to the back.

0:27:140:27:16

Shit!

0:27:160:27:17

No!

0:27:170:27:19

ALL SHOUT

0:27:190:27:21

No, we're not. Stay behind me.

0:27:270:27:29

Dawson, Dodds, O'Brien, cover our flank!

0:27:290:27:32

Pull back!

0:27:430:27:45

Pull back! Move!

Is he dead?

0:27:530:27:54

No, he's moving. Get him back in the tank!

0:27:540:27:57

FIRTH SCREAMS

0:27:570:27:58

Cover. Fire!

0:27:580:27:59

You'll be fine. It's just a graze.

0:27:590:28:01

Listen to me!

0:28:010:28:03

Argh, get me in!

0:28:030:28:05

Get me in...

0:28:060:28:08

Please get me in, please get me in, please get me in,

0:28:110:28:13

-please get me in...

-Firth!

0:28:130:28:15

Get us moving and let's find our way back to the others.

0:28:250:28:28

Ready as she goes, sir.

0:28:410:28:43

Take us forward!

0:28:490:28:51

All right, steady as she goes, lads...

0:28:520:28:55

EXPLOSIONS ECHO

-Argh!

0:29:060:29:09

They're coming!

0:29:090:29:10

-They're coming!

-Firth, those are our men!

0:29:100:29:12

-Argh! They're coming!

-Firth!

0:29:120:29:15

They're coming! They're going to surround me!

0:29:150:29:18

Argh!

0:29:180:29:19

Dodds! Lay him out, for fuck's sake!

0:29:220:29:25

Did he hit anyone?

0:29:330:29:34

No, sir, he was firing high.

0:29:360:29:39

He's lost it.

0:29:390:29:40

He'll be all right.

0:29:400:29:41

-He just needs some time, that's all.

-No, he won't.

0:29:410:29:44

We have to leave him.

0:29:440:29:45

Sir...

0:29:460:29:48

please...

0:29:480:29:49

This bus is full of explosives, petrol and ammunition.

0:29:490:29:52

I can't have a man like that in here.

0:29:520:29:54

He's one of us.

0:29:540:29:55

We're a machine.

0:29:550:29:57

If there's a faulty part WE break down.

0:29:570:29:59

Sir, if we do this, he'll die.

0:29:590:30:01

It doesn't matter.

0:30:010:30:03

Sir?

0:30:030:30:04

It doesn't matter if he dies, Weston.

0:30:040:30:07

Take us into that valley,

0:30:160:30:18

away from the enemy as far as you can.

0:30:180:30:20

I won't make it home.

0:30:280:30:30

Here...

0:30:300:30:31

Dodds, please, mate...

0:30:330:30:34

Dodds, please..

0:30:340:30:36

-Here.

-No, no, no!

0:30:360:30:38

Please, please...

0:30:380:30:40

Come on, we can't stay here.

0:30:470:30:50

I'm sorry.

0:31:260:31:27

'I love you.

0:32:320:32:34

'For always.

0:32:340:32:36

'For always.'

0:32:370:32:39

There's a farm, a rendezvous point.

0:33:110:33:14

That's where we need to head.

0:33:140:33:15

Where is everyone?

0:33:310:33:32

We'll go and take a look.

0:33:580:33:59

Two volunteers to go with me?

0:34:010:34:02

I'll go.

0:34:020:34:04

No.

0:34:060:34:07

Rowland, Burns.

0:34:070:34:09

Burns, mind your head!

Hey!

0:35:310:35:32

We should stay by the tank.

0:35:350:35:36

Why?

0:35:360:35:38

You all going to leave without me?

0:35:390:35:41

Thanks, Chas.

0:37:560:37:58

Reload that.

0:38:020:38:03

That'll get us to the right place.

0:38:050:38:07

VOICE ECHOES: 'I am returning from the garden with dirt under my nails.'

0:38:370:38:40

HE SIGHS

0:38:450:38:46

Back there...

0:39:040:39:05

..in the village....

0:39:070:39:08

I just want to say thank you.

0:39:100:39:12

We need a mechanic.

0:39:160:39:17

If you couldn't fix the bus, I'd have left you there,

0:39:170:39:20

and I'd have been glad to.

0:39:200:39:21

Stop trying to prove yourself to us, Weston. You can't.

0:39:240:39:28

I'm sorry.

0:39:280:39:29

I'm sorry about your brothers.

0:39:350:39:36

-I know how much they meant to you.

-Nah. No, you don't.

0:39:380:39:42

You don't know anything.

0:39:420:39:44

Fine.

0:39:440:39:45

Naw. No, it's not fine.

0:39:450:39:48

None of this is fucking fine.

0:39:480:39:50

Piss off.

0:39:510:39:53

This...

0:40:420:40:44

..is our final end point.

0:40:450:40:47

If we can get our bus from here...

0:40:510:40:54

..to there... then maybe the war turns our way.

0:40:550:40:58

This...

0:40:590:41:01

is the route we take to get back.

0:41:010:41:03

Driving home, boys.

0:41:060:41:07

Simple as that.

0:41:080:41:10

So let's get to it.

0:41:120:41:13

# There is a house built out of stone... #

0:41:360:41:41

VOICE ECHOES: 'You are reading your book in my chair.'

0:41:410:41:44

# Wooden floors, walls and windowsills

0:41:440:41:50

# Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust

0:41:530:41:58

# This is a place where I don't feel alone

0:42:010:42:07

# This is a place where I feel at home... #

0:42:110:42:17

HE COUGHS

0:42:350:42:36

Going to slam the door open.

0:42:370:42:39

I'll drive for now, you walk alongside.

Sir?

0:42:430:42:44

Go on.

0:42:440:42:45

ENGINE RUMBLES

0:42:510:42:54

When we stop again, you've got to take a look at that engine.

0:42:540:42:56

There's nothing I can do about the fumes - it's the design.

0:42:560:42:59

Listen, I won't be poisoned to death

0:42:590:43:01

because the conscientious objector doesn't feel like doing his job.

0:43:010:43:05

This ain't a job.

0:43:050:43:06

Fixing cars is a job.

0:43:060:43:08

Working in a shop is a job.

0:43:080:43:10

That's decent, that's honest.

0:43:100:43:12

Killing people, leaving your mates to die alone in the mud -

0:43:120:43:15

that's something else.

0:43:150:43:17

He was a good man.

0:43:170:43:18

There, Michael, I've said it!

0:43:190:43:21

Firth was a good man and we put him out.

0:43:210:43:24

You might not be used to war, but the rest of us here are.

0:43:270:43:30

We've all killed people.

0:43:300:43:31

We don't need somebody like you judging us for it.

0:43:310:43:34

I'm not the one you need to worry about, mate.

0:43:340:43:36

You think you're all going to go home war heroes.

0:43:360:43:40

But no-one back home wants to know about it.

0:43:400:43:42

No-one wants to know about this tank, or this mission,

0:43:420:43:45

or me, or you, or your dead fucking brothers, Dodds.

0:43:450:43:47

Shut up!

0:43:470:43:48

You've been gone so long they've got over it.

0:43:480:43:51

They've got over all of us.

0:43:510:43:52

Maybe I ain't one of you, Dodds,

0:43:520:43:54

but when I get back, all they'll see is another fucking soldier

0:43:540:43:58

with another fucking story they don't want to hear.

0:43:580:44:01

Bitte - bitte!

0:44:050:44:07

Schiessen Sie nicht!

0:44:070:44:09

0:44:090:44:11

German prisoner!

0:44:110:44:13

Schiessen Sie nicht! Bitte!

0:44:130:44:15

-Bitte!

-We don't take prisoners!

0:44:150:44:17

He's just a wee boy, lads.

0:44:190:44:20

They're all just wee boys.

0:44:220:44:23

Who do you think you've been pointing your gun at

0:44:230:44:25

these last couple of days?

0:44:250:44:26

What do we do?

0:44:280:44:29

I'll do it.

0:44:320:44:34

Let me. I'll do it - give it here.

0:44:340:44:36

Schiessen Sie nicht!

0:44:400:44:42

Fucking hell.

0:45:280:45:30

What's going on?

0:45:300:45:31

I can't do it.

0:45:320:45:33

Can't do it?!

0:45:350:45:36

We're in the middle of a war! "Can't do it"?!

0:45:380:45:40

This is what we're here to do, gentlemen.

0:45:400:45:43

HE SOBS

0:45:490:45:51

It's what we're here to do.

Lieutenant.

0:48:540:48:55

Where is everyone?

0:49:080:49:09

No-one else has made it back yet.

0:49:120:49:14

Are any of you injured?

0:49:200:49:21

Good.

ALL: Firth.

0:49:400:49:41

Right, lads...

0:49:480:49:49

Let's see what you're made of.

0:49:500:49:52

Ready?

0:49:560:49:57

Ah, ha, ha! No!

0:50:030:50:05

We're still a long way from home,

0:50:340:50:36

and she's not built for speed.

0:50:360:50:38

# And I built a home

0:50:380:50:45

# For you

0:50:450:50:49

# For me

0:50:490:50:52

0:50:520:51:00

# From me

0:51:010:51:05

# From you

0:51:050:51:09

# And now it's time

0:51:090:51:14

# To leave

HE KNOCKS

0:51:510:51:52

Yes?

0:52:030:52:04

Anne?

0:52:050:52:06

Can I help you?

0:52:060:52:08

Can I come in?

0:52:100:52:11

I don't understand.

0:52:180:52:20

Were you friends with my husband?

0:52:200:52:22

Yes. No! I mean, I found him.

0:52:220:52:25

He were waiting to be buried.

0:52:250:52:27

I opened his jacket and there you were.

0:52:270:52:30

Chas, what are you doing?

0:52:300:52:31

You took my photo from him?

0:52:340:52:35

It were next to the letter.

0:52:350:52:38

What letter?

0:52:410:52:42

His letter back to you.

0:52:420:52:44

It was like the one I'd written home.

0:52:440:52:46

The one that, if I died, I hoped would have been delivered.

0:52:460:52:48

Not stuck in the ground with me.

0:52:480:52:51

No man wants to think that his last words wouldn't make it home.

0:52:510:52:53

So I carried it.

0:52:530:52:55

I told myself I'd carry it home. To you.

0:52:550:52:58

Where is it?

0:52:590:53:00

This is...

0:53:040:53:05

This is all that were left.

0:53:050:53:07

Oh, no...

0:53:090:53:10

It wasn't... there was a fire in MY tank.

0:53:100:53:13

He wasn't burnt -

0:53:130:53:14

I don't know how he died, but he wasn't burnt.

0:53:140:53:17

-I shouldn't...

-I haven't offered you tea.

0:53:270:53:29

Thank you.
