0:01:48 > 0:01:51Beat you to it, Sully.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Have you got an alarm clock, Lieutenant?- Yeah, up here!
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Captain Rickson could use an alarm clock. Or dynamite maybe...
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Up, Captain! Grab your socks!
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- Blast them up, Lieutenant. I've got work to do.- OK. I'll try.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- Briefing's at 05.00. You got 20 minutes for breakfast.- OK.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Come on, sir. Time to get up. > Briefing's at 05.00.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Hey, Buzz!
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Buzz! Come on! Rise and shine.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Let go of that pillow.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28It's my down girl.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31I just tell the girl, "Go ahead.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34"No, no, honey. Not with your hands."
0:02:34 > 0:02:38The minute she lay her head down on that pillow... Mmm...
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- What time did you get in last night?- Two...three...
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I don't remember,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51but it was worth it!
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I think.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56LOUD CHATTER >
0:02:56 > 0:03:01Hey, Buzz! Remember the time when we could get up when we pleased?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04The hot breakfast waiting for us.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Not have to go out before daylight.
0:03:07 > 0:03:13Get shot at by guys we don't know and probably don't like their job any better than we do.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17The trouble with this war is it begins too early in the morning.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Say, Bolland, you're out of clean socks.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25My apologies(!) What you need is a personal maid.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Then she could fence off those WAAFs.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33I'd have me one, save me flushing them out of the woods every night.
0:03:33 > 0:03:39We're not supposed to fraternise with the natives. It's against the rules and regulations.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Yeah... "Rules are for sergeants!"
0:03:48 > 0:03:53- Come on, Buzz, will you?- What's the hurry?- We'll miss breakfast.
0:03:53 > 0:03:59- You know, Bolland, sometimes I worry about your love life. - Well, don't bother.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Remember, kid, you're not in a monastery. You're in the air force.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Thanks for reminding me.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Say, come on. Will you hurry up?
0:04:09 > 0:04:15Do you know what else you're gonna have to learn before you're a good pilot?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17How to relax.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- Hi, Marty.- Prieny!
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- Morning, Lynch. How's your dog? - And how's Superman this morning?
0:04:38 > 0:04:43Just try and keep us on course for a change, huh?
0:04:48 > 0:04:53- There's a dance tonight.- I'll have to call up my girl.- Where is she?
0:04:53 > 0:04:59- Boston. Probably just getting home from a dance.- Where you bet they send us today?- Riviera.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Or Palm Springs to get a sun tan.
0:05:01 > 0:05:07Today's target, gentlemen, Kiel. As you can see, a short run across the North Sea.
0:05:07 > 0:05:14Kiel is important because of the enemy submarine pens. Here they are, in this inlet south of the harbour.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Hitting these pens will help protect our supply line to Operation Torch.
0:05:18 > 0:05:25Colonel Emmet will be in the lead ship of the lead squadron. Take your instructions from him. ..Colonel.
0:05:26 > 0:05:32Captain Rickson will lead the low squadron, Captain Woodman the high.
0:05:32 > 0:05:38Most of flying will be over water, but don't get your hopes up that this'll be a nice little milk run.
0:05:38 > 0:05:45Reconnaissance reports a flak corridor in the target area, and fighter attacks can be expected.
0:05:45 > 0:05:51Keep your formations tight and drop your bombs when I do. Remember,
0:05:51 > 0:05:55no broken-field running. This is a team effort.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00Navigators and bombardiers will remain for navigation briefing. That's all, gentlemen.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Max, get the flak area.- Right.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- Come on, Bolland.- What's the hurry? - The Body's waiting.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Well, figure it out for yourself. This is our seventh mission, right?
0:06:14 > 0:06:19- Yeah.- We average three a week for the 6 next weeks. That's 18.- Yeah.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24- 18 and 7 is 25, right?- Right. - We should be home in time for the World Series.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- That's crazy figuring.- How come?
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Do you know the chances of us coming through 25 missions alive?
0:06:30 > 0:06:35- Ah!- Mathematically! - I hate mathematics! Hey, Brindt!
0:06:35 > 0:06:40That medicine's rotgut! Get that belly operated on.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45- My stomach was all right back home. - Why didn't you leave it there?
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Hey! No-one in the whole 8th Air Force drives a car like Buzz.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Looks just like a women's sewing circle!
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- How's your stomach, Brindt? - OK, Captain. Any chance of a board?
0:07:06 > 0:07:11Mother Chicken's still reading the tea leaves. Bolland, check the cockpit.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16- What's all this?- Overflow. Pre-flight, OK, sir.- Engine?
0:07:16 > 0:07:21- Checked out.- I was losing pressure in number three. You checked the blower?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23You got a new super-charger.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28- Oxygen?- Oxygen system's OK. Full load. 430lb pressure.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33- Gas?- Tank's filled up to 2,800 gallons.- Oil?- All OK.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- What are we carrying, Max? - Big stuff. Eight 1,000-pounders.
0:07:41 > 0:07:47Rickson'll be pleased. He's got his heart set on blowing up the continent.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Say, Captain!- OK, Blackie.
0:07:52 > 0:07:58- How'd you like me to stay behind, look after the house? - You wanna live, don't you, Junior?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Yeah! Yeah, that's the general idea.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Well, I'll see what I can do about it?
0:08:59 > 0:09:04- Number two. - WHIRRING
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Hit it.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Number one.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Number three.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Number four.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- 'Clear for takeoff.'- Roger.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Roger.- 'Waiting.'
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- Max, are we clear down there?- Fine.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52- 'Lead off, Zebra 3. Clear for takeoff.'- Zebra 3, roger.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Europe.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44First time I went up in a plane, I was 17. It was a dawn like this.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Dawns are for co-pilots, Bolland.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56To all positions! All positions! Test fire guns. Test fire guns.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13THERE'S something to look at. There's something to look at.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17Save your ammo. Save your ammo.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Let's get a few hits today for a change!
0:14:25 > 0:14:30Number two, number two, tighten it up. Stay in close.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35Number three, stay in close. Braddock, you're all by yourself.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Yes, sir. Joining the party.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41At 11,000...
0:14:41 > 0:14:43On oxygen, everybody. On oxygen.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- Prien, check in. Snap into it! - OK, Captain. Ready to check.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00- Lamb, check. ..Handown. - OK, mine's on.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Right.- Brindt speaking. On oxygen.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Farr speaking. Me too!- Brag's OK.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Junior?
0:15:08 > 0:15:13- It's not working!- It's a wonder you can get your pants on by yourself.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Farr, fix his mask.- Sure, Captain.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Lynch, where are we?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Over the North Sea.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Could you be more specific?!
0:15:34 > 0:15:40- Just follow the lead ship. - I don't want advice, Lynch. I want our position now.- Yes, sir.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- We're approaching the coast, Colonel.- What do you think?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Looks like solid cloud cover.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- Tom!- Sir?- What are the chances?
0:15:59 > 0:16:04Not very good. We've lost contact. We're probably close to the IP.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09I'll get a report on the alternate targets. This is Fat Cow Red...
0:16:09 > 0:16:13This is Fat Cow Red requesting operations report.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Zenith 8 and 9. Come in, Operations.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Zenith 8 and 9 - last report unfavourable.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25- All the targets are covered.- Those weather guys sure missed it today.
0:16:25 > 0:16:31- Wanna try a few chance shots? - There are no other military targets in this area. We'll have to abort.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36This is Fat Cow Red to all padlocks. Solid cloud cover over all targets. Mission aborted.
0:16:36 > 0:16:42Follow me. We're taking a 180-degree turn to the right.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44180-degree turn to the right.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48On signal, bombs will be dropped in the sea.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Not my bombs.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54What about the solid cloud cover?
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- We're going under it. - What about Emmet?
0:16:58 > 0:17:03I'll handle Emmet. Let's worry about the target, Bolland.
0:17:03 > 0:17:09- Max, I'm taking her down for a closer look. Stay in the nose gun until we get to the IP.- Got it.
0:17:09 > 0:17:16- Max, I want as much feet as I can get. Keep the bomb base closed until the last minute.- OK, Captain.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21Attention, crew! Attention, all crew! We're going in low. We're going in low.
0:17:21 > 0:17:27Bragliani, Farr, in the front now. Keep your eyes open. That goes for you too, Junior. Stay on your toes.
0:17:27 > 0:17:34- I'm sorry. I can't get on my toes. There's not room enough.- Careful, or I'll stop your allowance.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39- Lynch, when we get visibility, I want you to set our course for the IP.- What altitude?- About 9,000.
0:17:39 > 0:17:46- Isn't that pretty low for bombing, sir? We'd be expected to...- Listen, you navigate! Let me do the flying.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51- Prien, are they all tight back there?- Yes, sir.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Here we go.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36That looks good - 8,500. That was a pretty good guess.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- Go on to automatic pilot.- Right.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- Lynch, have you picked the target? - Hold her steady on 038 degrees.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Right!
0:18:47 > 0:18:50038 degrees.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Look what we've got here.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- You ready, Max?- Hand her over.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06CLICKING
0:19:07 > 0:19:09She's all yours.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18There's your submarine pens.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Bomb doors open.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30- Get 'em dead centre. - Dead centre, Max.- Dead centre...
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Bombs away!
0:20:00 > 0:20:03SERIES OF EXPLOSIONS
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Giving her back to you, Buzz.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- Got you. - CLICKING
0:20:13 > 0:20:16EXPLOSIONS CONTINUE
0:20:26 > 0:20:29What about that?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32The square head's getting to shoot straight.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34VERY LOUD EXPLOSION
0:20:34 > 0:20:37What were you saying?!
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- That was pretty good.- Goodness has nothing to do with it, Bolland.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05- Bandits! Three 190s at two o'clock. - Handown, they're on your side.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Bandits at three o'clock level!
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Junior, get him when he passes underneath!
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Everybody all right?
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- Yes, fine, Lieutenant. - The Krauts never got in range.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39That's all right with me.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43They must have hit Braddock. His number one engine's smoking.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- He's trying to blow out the fire. - Why didn't he stay close to me?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14What was that junk that went past?
0:22:20 > 0:22:25I knew you couldn't get out of these crates.
0:22:36 > 0:22:42Now, you listen to me. That's not going to happen to us. Not while I'm flying this bucket.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56- Lieutenant, would you please come down here?- I'll be right there.
0:23:05 > 0:23:11- Buzz, lose altitude! Prien's sick. - Sick or scared? - What's the difference? Get us down.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Yes, sir!
0:23:33 > 0:23:37All right, everybody, snap out of it. You're all still alive.
0:23:37 > 0:23:43- Or are you? - My heart's still beating, Captain. - That's a good sign, Handown.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51All right, take over.
0:24:22 > 0:24:28Yes, sir, we fell behind in the turn. I used maximum power and pulled up with the group.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33- After you dropped your bombs?- Yes, sir.- What did you drop them on?
0:24:33 > 0:24:40- The target, sir.- With solid cloud cover? Come on, Rickson.- We found a hole. We had six-tenths visibility.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45- At what altitude?- About 9,000. - 8,500, sir.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Mmm...
0:24:47 > 0:24:49How's your hearing, Rickson?
0:24:49 > 0:24:54- Very good, sir.- In fact, all your reactions are good, aren't they?
0:24:54 > 0:24:59- You're about the hottest pilot in the whole group. - Yes, sir. I guess I am.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Except for one thing.
0:25:02 > 0:25:08- You're insubordinate and irresponsible!- Me, sir?- You deliberately abandoned formation.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12It wasn't deliberate. We ran into a bit of haze and I lost contact.
0:25:12 > 0:25:18- And you happened to find yourself over the target?- Regulations say if a target of opportunity...
0:25:18 > 0:25:24Don't tell me about regulations. This target didn't present itself. You defied mission orders.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29You went over a heavy flak corridor and risked the lives of your men!
0:25:29 > 0:25:34I risk their lives every time I take 'em off the ground. Don't I?
0:25:34 > 0:25:39- Anyway, we got through this OK. No-one was hurt.- Except Braddock.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47That was later, sir. And it wasn't flak.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54I'm sending Reconnaissance over to photograph those submarine pens.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- I think it'll show that we clobbered them.- It'd better.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01You may go.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Oh, one moment, Rickson!
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Your navigator's Lieutenant Lynch, I believe.
0:26:10 > 0:26:16- When you were lost in the haze, why didn't he give you your bearings? - I guess you better ask him, sir.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20You were going to say something, Lieutenant?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22No, sir.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25That's all.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33DOOR CLOSES
0:26:36 > 0:26:40So I said to him, "Let's go to London next leave."
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I've done my dancing. How about a little food?
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Very good, Bolland. Very, very good.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Excuse me.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Could you direct me to the 8th Avenue Savoy?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24My name is Rickson. What's yours?
0:27:24 > 0:27:29- Daphne Caldwell.- Mmm... Daphne Caldwell, Lieutenant Bolland.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- How do you do?- Hello.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37Bolland, you get the table. I'll get the booze.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50- You don't come from around here, do you?- No. I work in Cambridge.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- Oh? Hush-hush? - Yes. A defence project.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59- Would you like a cigarette? - No, thank you. I don't smoke.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03I'm a tourist, booked for 25 first-class missions.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Today was my seventh.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11You're upset about something. I was watching you when you came in.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13I had a date with a man named Pitt.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18I've just been told he was on a mission. Didn't come back.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19I'm sorry.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- There you go, Daphne.- Thank you.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32What is a beautiful girl like you doing, wandering around by herself?
0:28:32 > 0:28:34My date didn't show up.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37He must be out of his mind.
0:28:37 > 0:28:43- How do you like England?- The weather or the women?- The weather.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47- I think it's beautiful. - Hi! Mind if I hijack the lady?
0:28:47 > 0:28:51- Yes, I mind. - Thank you. I'm not dancing tonight.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Some other time, maybe...
0:28:55 > 0:29:00- You didn't answer my question. - I'm having the time of my life.
0:29:00 > 0:29:05There's only two things that mean anything to me - flying and women.
0:29:05 > 0:29:12- In that order?- In any order. Or both together.- So you're enjoying the war?- I like my work.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13Work?
0:29:13 > 0:29:18I belong to the most destructive group of men the world has known.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20That's my work.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24Hey, Buzz, look what Reconnaissance just slipped me.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30Wait till Mother Chicken sees this. We clobbered them!
0:29:30 > 0:29:36One...two...three...four...five... Ten direct hits on the submarine pens at Kiel!
0:29:36 > 0:29:40Those Germans ain't never coming up for air!
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Come on!
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Get up!
0:29:46 > 0:29:50- Come on, Buzz!- Come on, Woodman! You're all mine!
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Throw me a bottle.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58CHEERING
0:30:19 > 0:30:21BAND PLAYS "Roll Me Over"
0:30:21 > 0:30:27- Would you please take me to the bus? We leave at 12.- I'd be glad to.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40I'd like to see you again.
0:30:40 > 0:30:47- I'm free Saturday afternoon, if you would come to Cambridge.- I can't think of anything I'd like better.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50SIREN SOUNDS
0:31:02 > 0:31:03Hey!
0:31:03 > 0:31:08Daphne! Daphne, I don't know where you live!
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Hey, why'd you miss Interrogation?
0:31:30 > 0:31:34I've got to get the bus to Cambridge.
0:31:34 > 0:31:39- I've got a date. If I can find her. - Who, the English girl?
0:31:39 > 0:31:45What do you know? I'm telling you, Bolland, she was giving me the eye!
0:31:45 > 0:31:51- You got the eyes crossed. - Don't worry, she's not my type. Too intellectual!- Mail call!
0:31:58 > 0:32:00For you, Bolland.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Do you know what I'll have to do?
0:32:06 > 0:32:12Write me a letter and have 25 Mimeograph copies made and sent to all my girls in the States.
0:32:12 > 0:32:18- Could get knocked off over here and nobody would know. - When were you home last?- Home?
0:32:18 > 0:32:22You tell me where it is, Bolland. I'll tell how long ago it was.
0:32:26 > 0:32:31From Daphne. She can meet me at the quad of the King's College.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35Be sure to have a ball in that library, with all those books(!)
0:32:35 > 0:32:41- Maybe I won't see you until tomorrow.- Sonny's growing up. Staying overnight, huh?- Maybe.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44If the library stays open! So long, Buzz.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00PLAYS BIG BAND MUSIC
0:33:45 > 0:33:48CHOIR SINGS
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- Hello.- Hello. - Are you enjoying the madrigals?
0:34:27 > 0:34:32- Is that what they are?- 16th-century pop tunes.- You English!
0:34:32 > 0:34:39- Half the world blows the other half up and you sing 400-year-old music! - You must think we're in a groove.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- Would you like to walk down to the river?- You're the guide.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52CLOCK CHIMES
0:35:04 > 0:35:06It's so wonderfully old.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10Maybe Shakespeare and Ben Johnson stood on this very bridge.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13You've very American!
0:35:13 > 0:35:14Why?
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Well, romantic.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19I like things that last.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Things last longer than people.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25I wrote to Pitt's parents today.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Were you in love with him?
0:35:28 > 0:35:33No... I didn't know him very well, but he was a very nice man.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38He was on Braddock's plane.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40We saw it go down.
0:35:40 > 0:35:45- Your pilot - what's his name, Rickson?- Buzz, yeah. Buzz Rickson.
0:35:45 > 0:35:50- Is he really that good? They were making such a fuss over him. - The best!- Is he?
0:35:50 > 0:35:55Yes. You see, well, I fly by the book.
0:35:55 > 0:36:01Buzz flies like he's a part of the plane. Whenever we get in trouble, he knows what to do, instinctively.
0:36:01 > 0:36:08- Your hero?- I get sore at him once in a while, we all do, but we wouldn't trade him for any other pilot.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12I hope his luck holds out. And yours.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Right now, my luck's doing fine.
0:36:15 > 0:36:20It's starting to rain again. Shall we go somewhere until it stops?
0:36:20 > 0:36:24- What about your lab? - I can't. It's against the rules.
0:36:24 > 0:36:30- But we could wait in the library. - No, not the library - it's just something that Buzz said.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Hey, Buzz, are you ready?
0:36:33 > 0:36:38- Come on! Get it over with, will you, Captain?- Keep your pants on, Junior.
0:36:38 > 0:36:43- You're getting paid.- Not by the hour.- Ten bob if I miss, a quid if you get hit.- Don't mention it!
0:36:43 > 0:36:47Don't worry, I never miss. Except once, and I was drunk.
0:36:47 > 0:36:53- What happened?!- We sent the quid home to his mother and gave the guy a decent burial.- And that is true!
0:36:53 > 0:36:57He'll get it. He's better than Davy Crockett!
0:37:08 > 0:37:12ALL SPEAK AT ONCE
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- Now it's without the bottle, just the egg.- Nothing do...
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Come here, Junior.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Oh, gee! Thanks, Buzz.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Come on! I'll buy you boys a drink, eh?
0:37:45 > 0:37:50How you doing? I'd like you to meet a friend of mine. ..Junior!
0:37:51 > 0:37:57- This is Junior Sailen. He's the pilot of our Fortress. - (Oh, no, Buzz. Not her.)
0:37:57 > 0:38:02- What, this little chappy? - It's one of the smaller Fortresses. We got 'em in all sizes.
0:38:02 > 0:38:07- ..Come and meet Junior's new girl! - New girl? I haven't got a new girl.
0:38:07 > 0:38:12- You've been holding out on us. - What's your name?- Hazel.- Hazel.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16That's a very nice name. It fits you like a glove.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20You're pulling my leg. You Yanks are all alike.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- You're modest too! - Ever think of going on the stage?
0:38:23 > 0:38:29- Definitely the home type, Junior. You've picked yourself a winner. - Excuse me. I've got work to do.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33You're not running out on your boyfriend now? Come on, Junior!
0:38:33 > 0:38:36I'm not...
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Come on!
0:38:37 > 0:38:40ALL SHOUT AT ONCE
0:38:40 > 0:38:45Let her go! SHOUTING STOPS
0:38:45 > 0:38:48SHE SOBS
0:38:48 > 0:38:52Since when did you start giving orders, Lynch?
0:38:52 > 0:38:58- I'm not. We're guests here. It'd be nice if we started acting like guests.- Look, sonny!
0:38:58 > 0:39:03You don't know east from west. See if you can find your way home!
0:39:03 > 0:39:05SIREN SOUNDS
0:39:05 > 0:39:07It's an air raid.
0:39:07 > 0:39:13- Come on.- And leave the Yanks with all that whisky?- They'll move.
0:39:13 > 0:39:18That's the Jerry's boys. There's a shelter down the road.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Come on, Alf. Down the cellar!
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Come on, Alf!
0:39:29 > 0:39:32DISTANT EXPLOSIONS
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Are you coming, Buzz?
0:39:43 > 0:39:46EXPLOSION
0:39:46 > 0:39:50The hell with them! Come on, Max. Free liquor!
0:39:50 > 0:39:52EXPLOSIONS CONTINUE
0:40:04 > 0:40:07- LOUD EXPLOSION - Cheers!
0:40:13 > 0:40:17Do you know when I had my first drink, Max? When I was 13.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19And on the road...
0:40:22 > 0:40:24One night, I got terribly hungry.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28I went to a farmhouse to get something to eat.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31This woman invited me in.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33She wasn't bad-looking, either.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37Except she was old enough to be my mother.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40She kept me there 72 hours.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Man, did I learn a thing or two.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46The boy who came to dinner.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49We can get killed in this trap!
0:40:50 > 0:40:53That's how I got my schooling, Max.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55The hard way.
0:40:55 > 0:41:01- Not like Bolland and Lynch. All they know about life... - LOUD WHISTLING
0:41:01 > 0:41:05LOUD BLAST
0:41:06 > 0:41:09..is what comes out of books.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Listen, you!
0:41:24 > 0:41:28When you've made a bomb big enough to kill Rickson,
0:41:28 > 0:41:31come back and blow up the world!
0:41:36 > 0:41:39They're bombing quite a way off now.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45All right?
0:41:45 > 0:41:48I'll never get used to air raids.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52You've gone through some bad ones in London, haven't you?
0:41:52 > 0:41:54My father was killed in one.
0:41:54 > 0:41:59He left the house one morning and that's the last we ever saw of him.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01You must hate the Germans.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06I hate war,
0:42:06 > 0:42:08and everything about it.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Unlike your friend, Captain Rickson.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17I had a feeling at the dance that you were running away from Buzz.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Perhaps I was.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Most women find him attractive.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25Oh, he is... in a dangerous sort of way.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29- Why do we always end up talking about Buzz?- You started it.
0:42:29 > 0:42:34That's right, I did. I was in love with a man like him once.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38At least I thought it was love, till I found out what he was like.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44Don't look at me like that. You must have had a girl back in the States.
0:42:45 > 0:42:51I, um... I wasn't exactly in love with her. Our parents were friends.
0:42:51 > 0:42:56- We don't even write any more. She's probably going out with somebody else.- Like you.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Daphne...
0:43:00 > 0:43:03How are you even meant to say that name?
0:43:03 > 0:43:08Today on the mission, I kept saying it over and over. Daphne...
0:43:09 > 0:43:12SIREN SOUNDS
0:43:14 > 0:43:18That's the only air raid I've ever enjoyed.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35Goodnight.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37I don't want to go back.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40You don't have to.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50What about your landlady?
0:43:58 > 0:44:03LOCK TURNS (Ssh! Quiet.)
0:44:06 > 0:44:08(Not very grand, is it?)
0:44:22 > 0:44:25STAIR CREAKS
0:44:30 > 0:44:32You would never make a good thief.
0:44:51 > 0:44:55I don't suppose you're very hungry after that dinner,
0:44:55 > 0:44:59but if you'd like a cup of tea, it's no trouble for me to make...
0:45:11 > 0:45:15Don't you think it's time you told me your first name?
0:45:15 > 0:45:17Ed.
0:45:17 > 0:45:20Most people call me Bo.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22Bo...
0:45:22 > 0:45:25I like that. Bo...
0:45:29 > 0:45:31Daphne...
0:45:31 > 0:45:34Yes, I know...
0:45:49 > 0:45:55- Come on in, Zebra One. All clear for landing.- Roger. Zebra One clear for landing.
0:45:55 > 0:46:01- You look like you swallowed those propaganda leaflets.- Emmet stuck in my throat. Leaflets(!)
0:46:01 > 0:46:03I'm here to drop bombs, not paper.
0:46:03 > 0:46:08- What's the difference? We chalked up another mission.- Not quite.
0:46:08 > 0:46:10Not quite!
0:46:41 > 0:46:44Are you out of your mind?
0:47:38 > 0:47:43Have Captain Rickson report to Operations after Interrogation.
0:47:43 > 0:47:47No, wait. Send for his co-pilot instead - Lieutenant Bolland.
0:47:47 > 0:47:51- And ask the flight surgeon to be present.- 'Yes, sir.'
0:47:51 > 0:47:57I suppose if the window would have been open, Captain Rickson would have flown you into the room(!)
0:47:57 > 0:48:01- I think he was a little upset, sir. - Upset?
0:48:01 > 0:48:08Captain Rickson didn't like the idea of having to drop propaganda leaflets instead of bombs.
0:48:08 > 0:48:14- His stunt was a reprisal for having to carry out an order of which he disapproved?- Wouldn't say that, sir.
0:48:14 > 0:48:19What's your opinion of Captain Rickson's qualifications as a pilot?
0:48:19 > 0:48:25The crew feel safe with him, Colonel. He's a great pilot. He's pulled us out of some tight spots.
0:48:25 > 0:48:32- Are you speaking for the entire crew?- I believe so, sir.- What's your opinion of Lieutenant Lynch?
0:48:32 > 0:48:38- He's one of the steadiest men in the group, sir.- Apparently Rickson doesn't agree with you.
0:48:38 > 0:48:43He feels Lynch is on the verge of a crack-up. Wants him grounded.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46- Captain Rickson said that?- Yes.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49Well, I think he's mistaken, sir.
0:48:49 > 0:48:55- You see, he and Captain Rickson aren't on very good terms. - We gathered that.
0:48:55 > 0:48:59We feel that you are about ready to command your own plane.
0:48:59 > 0:49:05- Would you like a transfer while we give you additional training?- Are you giving me a choice, sir?- Yes.
0:49:05 > 0:49:10- I'll stay with my own present crew. - And Captain Rickson?
0:49:10 > 0:49:13- Yes, sir.- That's all, Lieutenant.
0:49:19 > 0:49:22What's your opinion, Doc?
0:49:22 > 0:49:26I'd be inclined to grant Rickson's request. I know both men quite well.
0:49:26 > 0:49:29He and Lynch have never hit it off.
0:49:29 > 0:49:33OK. We transfer Lynch to Captain Woodman. What about Rickson?
0:49:33 > 0:49:38We never know what stunt he'll pull next. Can we afford to have that sort of pilot in the group?
0:49:38 > 0:49:42Can we afford NOT to have him? What's your opinion, Doc?
0:49:42 > 0:49:47He's a good example of the fine line that separates hero from psychopath.
0:49:47 > 0:49:49What side of the line is Rickson?
0:49:49 > 0:49:55Time will tell. I suppose we're running a risk, but then that's the nature of war.
0:49:55 > 0:50:00- Perkins, have you ever tried to score with a girl in the air?- No!
0:50:00 > 0:50:02But I tried it under water once.
0:50:02 > 0:50:05And I nearly drowned.
0:50:05 > 0:50:10Louis Baker and I sneaked a plane out. We had two girls. Took them to 10,000ft,
0:50:10 > 0:50:14put on the automatic pilot... and whammo!
0:50:14 > 0:50:17Six balls in the corner.
0:50:19 > 0:50:24- Hi, Bo.- Sure would like to have seen Emmet's face when we buzzed his window.
0:50:24 > 0:50:29Bet I don't go on any more paper raids, eh, Bolland?
0:50:33 > 0:50:37Emmet's out to nail me. I can fly circles around him and he knows it.
0:50:37 > 0:50:43- Why did you tell him that stuff about Lynch?- So that's why they wanted to see you?
0:50:55 > 0:50:56Scratch.
0:50:56 > 0:50:58Yeah.
0:51:00 > 0:51:07- Marty's the last guy to crack up, and you know it!- I don't know it. Lynch is an amateur.
0:51:07 > 0:51:12- One amateur can kill nine professionals.- He's a first-rate guy.- OK, a first-rate guy -
0:51:12 > 0:51:19- the graveyards are full of them! - You don't like him. That was just an excuse to get rid of him.
0:51:23 > 0:51:29Why don't you and your girlfriend go curl up in a library someplace and let me run the crew, hmm?
0:51:29 > 0:51:35- Leave Daphne out of this.- I have, but maybe now I have to move in. - You think you can?- Want me to try?
0:51:37 > 0:51:40That's up to you.
0:51:45 > 0:51:50- It won't be the same without you, Marty.- Don't worry about me, Bo.
0:51:50 > 0:51:56I'll miss the rest of you guys, but as far as Rickson's concerned, good riddance! I'd sooner have Woodman.
0:51:56 > 0:52:00I don't know. It's the difference between talent and genius.
0:52:00 > 0:52:05- Buzz is cut out for this sort of thing.- So are the Germans!
0:52:05 > 0:52:08Rickson could be on either side. COUGHING
0:52:08 > 0:52:13- You've got a bad cold. - I forgot my second pair of socks on the Frankfurt mission.
0:52:13 > 0:52:19- Hey, is that a new picture of the kids.- Yeah! Mum took it down by the cottage.
0:52:20 > 0:52:23How old are they now?
0:52:23 > 0:52:25John's five and Marge is seven.
0:52:27 > 0:52:31- How's it feel to be a married man? - Right now, mighty lonely.
0:52:31 > 0:52:35- It's a big responsibility, marriage and kids.- Is that bad?
0:52:35 > 0:52:38I dunno. I'm just asking.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40- This girl of yours...- Daphne.
0:52:40 > 0:52:44- Yeah, Daphne! - I see her whenever I can.
0:52:44 > 0:52:50- Sam! I don't think he's telling us everything. - Don't jump to any conclusions!
0:52:50 > 0:52:54Seven more missions and I'm on my way home.
0:52:54 > 0:52:58See you, Marty. Take it easy. Good luck.
0:53:00 > 0:53:02Thanks.
0:53:35 > 0:53:37Where are you going?
0:53:37 > 0:53:39We're going out to eat, aren't we?
0:53:39 > 0:53:41Are we?
0:53:41 > 0:53:45Darling, I know it's not very romantic, but I'm starving.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48What shall I wear?
0:53:49 > 0:53:52I like you this way.
0:54:12 > 0:54:16- That guy who was in love with you...- Which one?
0:54:16 > 0:54:19Was there more than one?
0:54:19 > 0:54:21Well, there's only one now, darling.
0:54:23 > 0:54:26The one you said was like Buzz.
0:54:28 > 0:54:31Rusty Miller.
0:54:31 > 0:54:35He was killed earlier in the war. He was a paratrooper in North Africa.
0:54:35 > 0:54:38Do you like my hair this way?
0:54:39 > 0:54:42I like your hair, period.
0:54:43 > 0:54:48It's hard to explain my feelings about...Buzz and Rusty.
0:54:48 > 0:54:54It's almost as if they like fighting more than the things they're fighting for.
0:54:57 > 0:55:02- You sound like Marty Lynch. - You and Marty are lucky.
0:55:02 > 0:55:08You don't like what you do, but you do it because you think something good will come out of it.
0:55:08 > 0:55:14Oh, I don't believe all the things they tell us. All that propaganda stuff you read in the magazines.
0:55:14 > 0:55:18Keep the world safe for the Reader's Digest!
0:55:18 > 0:55:20I know you don't.
0:55:21 > 0:55:24But you are on the side of life.
0:55:27 > 0:55:29Is that enough?
0:55:29 > 0:55:31It's enough for me.
0:55:38 > 0:55:43Darling Bo, if we don't eat now, we will die of starvation!
0:56:00 > 0:56:02Can you see their name?
0:56:02 > 0:56:04The House Of Usher.
0:56:04 > 0:56:06Woodman?
0:56:06 > 0:56:11It's a wonder he's still in the air. Must have been hit by cannon fire.
0:56:11 > 0:56:15- She's full of holes and her landing gear's shot away.- Belly landing?
0:57:01 > 0:57:03- <- Lynch?
0:57:03 > 0:57:06Up front.
0:57:18 > 0:57:20Come and see me later.
0:57:22 > 0:57:28- He'll be buried in the American Cemetery at Cambridge. I'll see that you get leave.- What about his wife?
0:57:28 > 0:57:33She'll get the usual telegram when the machinery grinds a bit.
0:57:33 > 0:57:36She'd appreciate hearing from you, though.
0:57:36 > 0:57:43- Take two of these tonight.- No, thanks.- Sorry, Bo. That's an order. Sleep is the only antidote we know.
0:57:43 > 0:57:47In time, you can even work up an immunity to death.
0:57:48 > 0:57:52Does the world ever want to make you throw up?
0:57:52 > 0:57:56I consider war a complete negation of rational behaviour.
0:57:57 > 0:58:03- Marty had a lot to live for, Doc. - Then he was probably more prepared to die than most of us.
0:58:03 > 0:58:08- Is anyone ever ready to die? - No, I guess not. No healthy person.
0:58:08 > 0:58:13I'm sorry. I was using a cliche cos there's nothing better to offer.
0:58:13 > 0:58:16Bo, don't blame Rickson for this.
0:58:16 > 0:58:20You see, Rickson built up an image of himself that Lynch didn't buy.
0:58:20 > 0:58:26He had to get Lynch off that crew, or that hard shell of his might have cracked wide open.
0:58:26 > 0:58:29- Thanks, Doc. - Try and get some sleep.
0:58:36 > 0:58:39We'll send the rest of his stuff to his wife.
0:58:39 > 0:58:46- I don't know what we're going to do with the mutt.- We can teach him to bite sergeants on sight.
0:58:46 > 0:58:50- Throw in a couple of colonels for good measure.- Put down that dog!
0:58:50 > 0:58:57- You couldn't wait until he was buried!- Max doesn't want him. Someone has to take care of it.
0:58:57 > 0:58:59Not you. Put him down.
0:59:03 > 0:59:05All right. He's down.
0:59:07 > 0:59:10And don't touch any of Marty's things!
0:59:10 > 0:59:15Bolland, you're behaving like a sucking crybaby.
0:59:15 > 0:59:20- Men get killed flying aeroplanes in war.- If you hadn't dumped him, he'd still be alive.
0:59:20 > 0:59:25Watch yourself, Bolland. You might be the next one I dump.
0:59:25 > 0:59:28- You think you're pretty tough, don't you?- Yes.
0:59:28 > 0:59:31Yes, I do.
0:59:35 > 0:59:37I'll help you pack his things.
0:59:55 > 0:59:59How near are we to London, Haverstraw?
0:59:59 > 1:00:04243 degrees west. Due in 12 minutes if the train stays on the track.
1:00:04 > 1:00:08Late again. I'm going to miss the first act.
1:00:08 > 1:00:10Bo, what are you and Daphne doing?
1:00:10 > 1:00:14We haven't planned anything. Maybe the Paris Club tomorrow night.
1:00:14 > 1:00:19That's quite a joint. Full of Free French dames. And I mean free!
1:00:19 > 1:00:22One of the four freedoms, Parson.
1:00:22 > 1:00:27- After all, the French are one of our Allies.- Yes. Yes, indeed!
1:00:27 > 1:00:29They smell pretty good.
1:00:29 > 1:00:33- Could I borrow one of those sandwiches?- Yes, of course.
1:00:33 > 1:00:39You know, when I get through with this crummy war, I might just quit flying and go into your business.
1:00:39 > 1:00:41You mean...take holy orders?
1:00:41 > 1:00:47I don't know, but I'd sure like to get in the pulpit and sound off at the sergeants in the congregation.
1:00:47 > 1:00:50I'd give them hellfire and brimstone!
1:00:50 > 1:00:55Well, I'm going to go up and talk to the pilot... Engine driver!
1:00:55 > 1:01:02- They have rules about passengers riding on the engine. - I make my own rules, Max.
1:01:02 > 1:01:04Nice talking to you, Parson.
1:01:06 > 1:01:10All right, men. Straighten up, straighten up.
1:01:10 > 1:01:13THEY SIGH
1:01:13 > 1:01:17What's the point of wasting a 24-hour pass fooling around?
1:01:17 > 1:01:23- Set up a game of poker in London, and Junior and I will have a stake back home.- Only you keep losing!
1:01:23 > 1:01:27Don't be a sucker, Junior. Don't give him your dough.
1:01:27 > 1:01:34- I got it already.- It's the same every leave. We go flat broke and can't afford any dames.- Dames!
1:01:34 > 1:01:38Dames! You can't put dames in a bank.
1:01:38 > 1:01:40That's not where I wanna put them!
1:01:40 > 1:01:46- Your brain is scrambled from turning upside down! - The kid's making good sense to me!
1:01:46 > 1:01:52- Me scrambled? Two kills and three probables, not counting what I might get in the next one!- Lieutenant!
1:01:52 > 1:01:56- Yeah?- Got a hot rumour there's a big one coming up on Leipzig.
1:01:56 > 1:02:02- Do you think we're gonna get it? - Haven't you read those posters? - Yeah! "Enemy ears are listening!"
1:02:02 > 1:02:06Forget it. Have fun in London, and take good care of Junior.
1:02:11 > 1:02:16Look, I... I guess Junior's sort of adopted me, you know. Or me him!
1:02:16 > 1:02:18I don't know which.
1:02:18 > 1:02:22Anyway, that's why I tell him I'm playing poker for a stake.
1:02:22 > 1:02:27Me and Junior in business back home? What a laugh!
1:02:29 > 1:02:32What am I gonna do? Tell him the truth?
1:02:32 > 1:02:35That we're both scared?
1:02:35 > 1:02:39Playing poker helps me take my mind off it, that's all.
1:02:40 > 1:02:43We've all got that problem, haven't we?
1:02:43 > 1:02:47Yeah. I guess you're right, Lieutenant.
1:02:47 > 1:02:51Anyway, there's only two more to go.
1:03:06 > 1:03:09WHISTLE BLOWS
1:03:11 > 1:03:14Hey, Buzz! Cut it out, will you?
1:03:14 > 1:03:19- Will you take us back? - When did you join the union?
1:03:19 > 1:03:21LAUGHTER
1:03:28 > 1:03:32- Is this the only newsstand? - All the latest news right here.
1:03:32 > 1:03:37- I'm supposed to meet someone here. - There's three, and one up above.
1:03:46 > 1:03:48Bo!
1:03:56 > 1:04:02- Darling, I have a surprise.- What? - I borrowed my aunt's flat. We can be by ourselves.- I love your aunt.
1:04:14 > 1:04:17CLOCK CHIMES
1:04:20 > 1:04:22Was that a yes?
1:04:24 > 1:04:30- You must be on the swing shift. - You're the loud one, you are, at this hour of the morning.
1:04:30 > 1:04:34- How far is your place?- Not more than three shillings by taxi.
1:04:34 > 1:04:38- Cosy, comfortable, real home-like. - I'll bet. Breakfast too?
1:04:38 > 1:04:44A cup of strong tea and a nice bit of toast. That's for those that don't throw the furniture around!
1:04:44 > 1:04:48- You look the sort.- The sort of what?- Gentleman is what I mean.
1:04:48 > 1:04:54That's where you're wrong. I'm the sort that throws the furniture around.
1:04:54 > 1:04:56I can see I'm wasting my time.
1:04:56 > 1:04:58HE WHISTLES
1:05:02 > 1:05:05£5. What's that for?
1:05:09 > 1:05:11Buy yourself a dress.
1:05:11 > 1:05:15And when you look in the mirror, call yourself Daphne.
1:05:15 > 1:05:17Daphne?
1:05:17 > 1:05:20Daphne.
1:05:20 > 1:05:22You Yanks!
1:05:32 > 1:05:35CLOCK CHIMES IN THE DISTANCE
1:05:40 > 1:05:45- I'd like to set that clock back 48 hours.- So would I, darling.
1:05:47 > 1:05:50MANTEL CLOCK CHIMES
1:05:51 > 1:05:54You don't have to remind me, too.
1:05:55 > 1:05:57Do me up, darling.
1:05:59 > 1:06:03Did you come here when you were a kid?
1:06:03 > 1:06:07Every Friday night with Auntie. All very formal and proper.
1:06:07 > 1:06:09What would she say if she knew?
1:06:09 > 1:06:13- Don't even mention it!- Hold still. This is a hard enough job.
1:06:13 > 1:06:15You sound just like a husband.
1:06:15 > 1:06:20I had an aunt that looked something like her. Aunt Lila.
1:06:20 > 1:06:24- She has a house up on Narragansett. - What did you do there?
1:06:24 > 1:06:27Oh, loaf around. We'd take girls out sailing.
1:06:27 > 1:06:32Had a catboat. Dig for clams. Would I like to have some of those now!
1:06:33 > 1:06:37- Mmm... That's not fair. You know what that does to me.- Well?
1:06:45 > 1:06:48Do you ever wonder about us?
1:06:48 > 1:06:50Your tour's nearly finished.
1:06:50 > 1:06:53I want to get the war over with.
1:06:53 > 1:06:56It's as far as I let myself think.
1:06:56 > 1:07:00What you're telling me is you're going back home soon.
1:07:04 > 1:07:06Darling...
1:07:06 > 1:07:08We're together now.
1:07:08 > 1:07:12And that's all been wonderful. Isn't that enough?
1:07:12 > 1:07:14Yes. I suppose it is.
1:07:14 > 1:07:16Then why are we getting so serious?
1:07:16 > 1:07:20I'm sorry, darling. I didn't mean to.
1:07:21 > 1:07:27I'll finish dressing and we'll go. No-one ever gets serious at the Paris Club.
1:07:31 > 1:07:34SINGS IN FRENCH
1:07:44 > 1:07:48- Vive la liberte!- Vive la liberte!
1:07:58 > 1:08:00Tonight, I love everyone -
1:08:00 > 1:08:06- Polish, French, Norwegians, Dutch, Danish...- How about Americans?
1:08:06 > 1:08:08Especially Americans.
1:08:08 > 1:08:10Bless them for lending me Bo.
1:08:13 > 1:08:15Even if it is a short-term lease.
1:08:17 > 1:08:19IN FRENCH
1:08:19 > 1:08:22Can I have another drink, please?
1:08:24 > 1:08:26I'll get it. It'll be easy.
1:08:27 > 1:08:30Mademoiselle?
1:08:30 > 1:08:34- My friend's bringing me one.- Until he comes!- But I'm robbing you!
1:08:34 > 1:08:38Tonight, everything belongs to everyone!
1:08:38 > 1:08:40To France!
1:08:46 > 1:08:48And to our American friends!
1:08:49 > 1:08:51Bon soir.
1:08:59 > 1:09:02Hello.
1:09:02 > 1:09:05- Hello.- I had an idea I'd find you here.- Oh?
1:09:05 > 1:09:08- Where's Bo?- Getting drinks.- Hmm.
1:09:08 > 1:09:14- I don't blame him for keeping you to himself.- Has that been too hard on you, Captain?
1:09:14 > 1:09:18- I'd never steal a friend's girl. - That's very ethical of you.
1:09:18 > 1:09:22- At least till I get the all clear. - I don't think I follow you.
1:09:22 > 1:09:26- Bolland's last mission is coming up.- Yours too, I take it.
1:09:26 > 1:09:30- I'm staying here as long as the war lasts.- A patriot?- Nuts.
1:09:30 > 1:09:34- I like it here.- You don't have trouble getting girls, Captain.
1:09:34 > 1:09:41- Why me?- Why not? You sure put roses in Bolland's cheeks.- And now you think I'll put roses in yours?
1:09:41 > 1:09:44Could be.
1:09:54 > 1:09:56- Hi, Buzz.- Hi.
1:09:57 > 1:10:02- Thank you, darling.- I thought you'd be painting the town.
1:10:02 > 1:10:04We took in a few churches(!)
1:10:04 > 1:10:10- Where's the rest of the gang? - I don't know. I like to do my hunting alone.- Hunting?
1:10:10 > 1:10:15- Hunting.- Supposing the game won't play?- It will.
1:10:15 > 1:10:21- You must keep your girl stashed someplace.- Maybe he's saving himself for a great love.
1:10:21 > 1:10:24That's what women like to think.
1:10:24 > 1:10:29- Have you ever been in love, Captain? - In wartime, you don't fall in love.
1:10:29 > 1:10:34- You make love.- That's all right for the men. What about the women?
1:10:37 > 1:10:43- It's about train time. We'd better go.- What's the hurry?- I'm taking Daphne home.- I can go by myself.
1:10:43 > 1:10:45I'm taking you home!
1:10:45 > 1:10:49You two are beginning to act like you're married already.
1:10:51 > 1:10:54I think I want to go home.
1:10:57 > 1:11:00I'll get you a cab.
1:11:11 > 1:11:13Taxi!
1:11:22 > 1:11:25See you at the train.
1:11:25 > 1:11:27Sure.
1:11:28 > 1:11:31- 52 Bedford Place.- Right, sir.
1:11:36 > 1:11:40What is it, darling? Is something wrong?
1:11:40 > 1:11:42I hate endings.
1:11:45 > 1:11:48I'm gonna see you on my next leave.
1:11:48 > 1:11:54- Won't I?- One day soon, there won't be any more leaves. You'll be on your way back home.
1:11:54 > 1:11:56We both knew that from the start.
1:11:56 > 1:11:59That doesn't make it any easier.
1:11:59 > 1:12:01No, please...
1:12:03 > 1:12:06You didn't act this way before Buzz appeared.
1:12:06 > 1:12:09He has nothing to do with it.
1:12:09 > 1:12:11I'm not so sure.
1:12:11 > 1:12:17- You said there was a side of you that Buzz appealed to. - Not the side that I admire.
1:12:17 > 1:12:21Tonight was no accident. He figured this was the right time to move in.
1:12:21 > 1:12:24Were your intentions so different?
1:12:24 > 1:12:26Except he was more frank about his!
1:12:28 > 1:12:34- You think my feelings for you are the same?- Be honest, Bo! All you wanted was a war girl.
1:12:34 > 1:12:38That's all! I probably got what I deserved.
1:12:46 > 1:12:50- Wait for me.- Right, guv.
1:12:50 > 1:12:56Bo, I didn't mean all I said. You are different from Buzz. Different from anyone else in the whole world!
1:12:56 > 1:13:02I've no right to blame you. It's just my mistake. I shouldn't have fallen in love with you.
1:13:03 > 1:13:05Goodbye, Bo.
1:13:08 > 1:13:10- King's Cross Station.- Right, guv.
1:13:10 > 1:13:13Bloody war.
1:13:20 > 1:13:23KNOCK AT DOOR
1:13:24 > 1:13:27FURTHER KNOCKING
1:13:41 > 1:13:47- Aren't you supposed to be on your way back to base?- Well... There's always another train.
1:13:47 > 1:13:49Nice place you've got here.
1:13:49 > 1:13:52What I can see of it.
1:13:58 > 1:13:59Ah...
1:14:06 > 1:14:08Very, very...
1:14:08 > 1:14:10nice.
1:14:13 > 1:14:16- No, thank you.- Do you mind if I do?
1:14:16 > 1:14:20You do pretty much as you like, anyway.
1:14:20 > 1:14:22Don't you?
1:14:22 > 1:14:24Pretty much.
1:14:32 > 1:14:35Incidentally, I like you in that outfit.
1:14:36 > 1:14:39Cheers.
1:14:42 > 1:14:47I also like the way you looked at me at the club tonight.
1:14:47 > 1:14:49Well, you were wrong.
1:14:49 > 1:14:52WHISTLE BLOWS
1:14:55 > 1:14:58- Come on!- Quick!
1:15:00 > 1:15:05- Where's Buzz?- Isn't he here?- Uh-uh. Not yet.- Maybe he's driving!
1:15:10 > 1:15:15As far as I'm concerned, you're just another American pilot.
1:15:16 > 1:15:19Not quite, honey.
1:15:19 > 1:15:21What makes you so special?
1:15:21 > 1:15:24I'm good. That's what makes me special.
1:15:24 > 1:15:30- And the Body...is my body. - Supposing the Body gets hit?
1:15:30 > 1:15:32What are we doing? Playing games?
1:15:32 > 1:15:37- Bolland's out, and I'm making my move.- It's as simple as that?
1:15:37 > 1:15:41Look, Captain, it is late, and I'd like to go to bed.
1:15:41 > 1:15:44So would I.
1:15:44 > 1:15:46Please, I want you to go.
1:15:47 > 1:15:53You're pretty funny. You send out little messages and when I answer them, you start running.
1:15:53 > 1:15:59- All right, I did find you attractive. Is that what you want? - No. But you're getting warm.
1:15:59 > 1:16:05- I once knew a man like you. Take and give nothing back.- Get wise, Daphne. The world belongs to the takers.
1:16:05 > 1:16:11- And the meek shall inherit the earth!- Sounds like Lynch. - You hated Lynch, didn't you?
1:16:11 > 1:16:15- He saw through you.- I didn't come here to talk about Lynch.
1:16:15 > 1:16:22- You came to prove you could take me away from Bo!- I've nothing against him. He just isn't meant for war.
1:16:22 > 1:16:28- No-one could say that about you! You love to drop bombs, smash cities... - That's war.- That's why you love it!
1:16:28 > 1:16:34- That's why you stay!- Right! I'll stay till the last bomb's dropped and maybe I'LL drop it!- What then?!
1:16:34 > 1:16:41Even you can't keep the war going for ever. When it's over, you'll have no place to go. You're scared!
1:16:44 > 1:16:49You can't make love. You're twisted. You can only make hate!
1:16:54 > 1:16:59I'm in love with Bo. Do you hear that? I'm in love with Bo.
1:17:08 > 1:17:10DOOR OPENS
1:17:10 > 1:17:13FOOTSTEPS
1:17:26 > 1:17:28We got a mission coming in.
1:17:28 > 1:17:31Sure...
1:17:31 > 1:17:33Why did you stay in London?
1:17:35 > 1:17:37I'd a date I couldn't break.
1:17:37 > 1:17:40I hope it was worth it.
1:17:41 > 1:17:43You ought to know, Bo.
1:17:44 > 1:17:47If you think I don't know you're lying...
1:17:47 > 1:17:5152 Bedford Place. Want me to describe the room?
1:17:51 > 1:17:55French windows, picture over the mantelpiece, a nice soft...
1:17:59 > 1:18:02You hit pretty good, Bolland.
1:18:02 > 1:18:05Keep it up. Some day you'll be in my class.
1:18:05 > 1:18:10If anything's happened to Daphne... I'll kill you!
1:18:11 > 1:18:14What is this?
1:18:14 > 1:18:18- You guys been up all night?- Get the light out of my eyes, Sully!
1:18:18 > 1:18:21Briefing's at 04.00.
1:18:23 > 1:18:26Atten-SHUN!

1:18:48 > 1:18:52deeper than any bomber force has gone before.
1:18:52 > 1:18:59Leipzig is the enemy's largest synthetic oil refinery. You know how important this target is.
1:18:59 > 1:19:05Knock out their oil supply and we destroy the striking power of the Luftwaffe.
1:19:05 > 1:19:09When Allied soldiers invade the continent of Europe,
1:19:09 > 1:19:13we want them to see only friendly planes overhead.
1:19:13 > 1:19:17If you're successful, you may hasten that day and the end of the war.

1:19:23 > 1:19:25All right, Lieutenant.
1:19:27 > 1:19:31GASPS Details of the target areas.
1:19:31 > 1:19:35Once you're over Leipzig, you'll have no trouble recognising it.
1:19:35 > 1:19:37Ignore this down here on the left.
1:19:37 > 1:19:42They're fake. Dummy buildings to throw you off. Here's the refinery.
1:19:42 > 1:19:49North of the refinery, you'll see a hospital. It's a good marker, but only a marker. Not a target.
1:19:49 > 1:19:52Lights, please.
1:19:52 > 1:19:55Colonel Emmet.
1:19:58 > 1:20:02I'm not gonna minimise the danger of this raid.
1:20:02 > 1:20:06This could be the toughest mission the 8th Air Force has flown.
1:20:06 > 1:20:11The enemy is desperate. They've been unable to break up our formations.
1:20:11 > 1:20:17They've been making head-on attacks. Expect them to be hitting us with all they've got.
1:20:17 > 1:20:23British Spitfires and our P47s will cover us as far as Amsterdam.
1:20:24 > 1:20:26From there on...
1:20:26 > 1:20:29we're on our own.
1:20:29 > 1:20:31Six hours over enemy territory.
1:20:33 > 1:20:37Now, one word of comfort. You won't be lonely.
1:20:37 > 1:20:41You'll be part of the largest bombing force ever assembled -
1:20:41 > 1:20:481,000 bombers. Due to the length of this mission, you'll be subject to more fighter interceptions.
1:20:48 > 1:20:54There are no less than 80 fields within strike distance of the bomber streams.
1:20:54 > 1:21:00So conserve your ammo. No long bursts. Just short, well-timed and sighted shots.
1:21:00 > 1:21:06Navigators and bombardiers will remain for navigation briefing. The rest of you may go.
1:21:06 > 1:21:09And good luck.
1:21:30 > 1:21:36- Can I ask you something?- Yeah.- I know it's against regulations, but it's important. To me, personally.
1:21:36 > 1:21:43- What is it?- Permission to put in a call to London.- Full security's on. Even I couldn't do it!
1:21:43 > 1:21:46I'm sorry, Bolland.
1:22:15 > 1:22:20- Haverstraw, where are we?- Over the Dutch coast, near Amsterdam.
1:22:27 > 1:22:33- Handown, did Larky say anything about the hydraulic fluid?- No. - He was supposed to check it!
1:22:33 > 1:22:38- He didn't say anything about it.- I forgot to ask. I meant to ask him.
1:22:38 > 1:22:41Pressure was OK on the pre-flight.
1:22:41 > 1:22:43Are you OK?
1:22:53 > 1:22:55JUNIOR: All tied to waist gunner.
1:22:55 > 1:22:59- Junior, what's itching you? - Nothing, sir.
1:22:59 > 1:23:03- What do you mean?- It's between Farr and me, sir.- Right, Farr...
1:23:03 > 1:23:08Bandits! Five o'clock high! Holy crow! The sky's full of them.
1:23:11 > 1:23:13Right, get cracking! Get cracking!
1:23:16 > 1:23:22- Knock it off!- Watch him! Watch him, he's moving round. Bragliani, two o'clock.
1:23:35 > 1:23:38Coming in straight ahead.
1:23:38 > 1:23:42- Nine o'clock, Farr. Get cracking! - What do you think I'm doing?!
1:23:45 > 1:23:48LOUD EXPLOSION
1:23:50 > 1:23:52Hey, they got Perkins.
1:23:52 > 1:23:56Get on it, Junior! There's four of them coming your way!
1:23:59 > 1:24:03Captain, drop your right wing a second! He's sitting the right way.
1:24:05 > 1:24:10What's the matter, Buzz? It was easy. You didn't give us a chance!
1:24:10 > 1:24:12Want a rest and let me take over?
1:24:12 > 1:24:16Don't count me out yet, Bolland.
1:24:23 > 1:24:26Somebody's lost his rabbit's foot.
1:24:30 > 1:24:33I hope he doesn't need it.
1:24:36 > 1:24:40Just north of Kessel, I'd say. About 40 minutes to target.
1:24:40 > 1:24:42A rough 40 minutes.
1:24:55 > 1:24:57Propeller number one. She's hit!
1:24:57 > 1:25:00She's hit! Propeller number one!
1:25:14 > 1:25:20- Haverstraw, how close to the IP? - 16 minutes. The lead squadron should be over it now.
1:25:20 > 1:25:26- All right, men. Are you ready to take over?- We're 15 minutes away! - All right. All right, I heard you!
1:25:28 > 1:25:31Oh, no! Up above. Look at those flashes!
1:25:31 > 1:25:35The first ones have cannons. They're under the...
1:25:35 > 1:25:38Coming in at six o'clock!
1:25:38 > 1:25:40Six more, six o'clock!
1:25:42 > 1:25:45Three coming in at five o'clock.
1:25:45 > 1:25:49OK, Brag, you got it! There's one more at six o'clock.
1:25:49 > 1:25:52Three coming at seven o'clock high!
1:26:05 > 1:26:08They got Emmet.
1:26:17 > 1:26:20You're crew commander.
1:26:32 > 1:26:35Smoke in the bomb bay!
1:26:46 > 1:26:48I'm hit...
1:27:02 > 1:27:08- It's nothing to worry about, Brag. - I can use my other hand.- Take it easy. Let me bandage it first.
1:27:19 > 1:27:23- How's Bragliani?- Hit in the hand, but he can still shoot.
1:27:23 > 1:27:28- We're on the IP. Five minutes to target.- You ready to take over, Max?
1:27:28 > 1:27:33OK. Any time you say. CLICKING
1:27:36 > 1:27:38All right, Max. She's all yours.
1:27:49 > 1:27:52- Two minutes.- Heavy flak ahead.
1:28:00 > 1:28:03Bomb doors open.
1:28:17 > 1:28:19Bombs away!
1:28:55 > 1:29:00OK, Buzz, I'm giving her back to you. Let's go home.
1:29:00 > 1:29:02Got it.
1:29:09 > 1:29:13- Randall, I have a red light. Check the bomb bay doors.- Yes, sir.
1:29:27 > 1:29:31- Bomb bay doors are jammed open. One bomb is still hung up.- What?!
1:29:31 > 1:29:38- Buzz, keep her steady. We've got bad trouble in the bomb bay.- Try to crank it by hand.- I'll try, sir.
1:29:43 > 1:29:48- It won't budge!- How about the bomb? - It's still there, but it's high.
1:29:48 > 1:29:52All right, Max. See if you can get that fuse out.
1:29:54 > 1:29:58PHONE RINGS 3rd Bomb Division.
1:29:58 > 1:30:01Yes, it's Colonel Vogt.
1:30:02 > 1:30:04Good.
1:30:04 > 1:30:06That's fine.
1:30:06 > 1:30:08All right.
1:30:10 > 1:30:15We just got a flash from the lead ship. Target was hit at 12.30 hours.
1:30:21 > 1:30:24CLICKING
1:30:44 > 1:30:49The fuse is set. I can't make it. We'll have to ride AND land with it.
1:30:49 > 1:30:53Here they come again. Four at 11 o'clock.
1:30:56 > 1:30:59Mama mia, there's no end to them!
1:31:20 > 1:31:22Agh!
1:31:27 > 1:31:29Agh...
1:31:46 > 1:31:48HE GASPS
1:32:03 > 1:32:07Take Junior's place in the turret. That's an order!
1:32:41 > 1:32:45Brindt! Take Farr's place in the gun.
1:32:49 > 1:32:52You all right?
1:32:52 > 1:32:56They got Junior. His leg. I don't think he's gonna make it.
1:32:56 > 1:32:58Take over.
1:33:38 > 1:33:40How is he?
1:33:41 > 1:33:44Wanna take her?
1:33:50 > 1:33:52We're losing altitude.
1:33:52 > 1:33:58Buzz, we're losing altitude. We're 1,800 and dropping! And number three is cutting out.
1:34:00 > 1:34:02Haverstraw, where are we?
1:34:02 > 1:34:08- 20 minutes to base at the present speed.- We're losing about 50ft a minute. How does that figure?
1:34:08 > 1:34:14- We're running a little short of air.- He's right. We can't make it to base.- We'll make it.
1:34:14 > 1:34:20The brakes are out. There's a bomb in the bomb bay. We can't ditch in the water. The bomb'd go off!
1:34:20 > 1:34:25- I said we'll make it. - We're over the Channel.
1:34:25 > 1:34:29If we're gonna jump, why don't we call Air-Sea Rescue?
1:34:29 > 1:34:33I'm still giving the orders, Haverstraw.
1:34:33 > 1:34:38We're at 1,500ft. If we get to the shore, we won't clear the cliffs.
1:34:38 > 1:34:41I'm gonna bring this crate in.
1:34:41 > 1:34:43I'll show 'em!
1:34:43 > 1:34:47You'll show them?! That's all you ever think about!
1:34:47 > 1:34:54- The six men on this plane aren't giving up their lives to make you a hero!- Afraid to die, Bolland?
1:34:54 > 1:34:56You're damned right I am!
1:34:56 > 1:34:59But you're scared to live.
1:35:06 > 1:35:08Make the call, Bolland.
1:35:12 > 1:35:14Mayday, Mayday, Mayday!
1:35:14 > 1:35:19Calling Air-Sea Rescue! This is Zebra One. Come in, Air-Sea Rescue.
1:35:19 > 1:35:22'We hear you, Zebra One.
1:35:22 > 1:35:26'We hear you. Give position. Give position.'
1:35:26 > 1:35:29Haverstraw? Give our position.
1:35:29 > 1:35:33Mayday, Mayday, this is Zebra One. Our position is as follows.
1:35:36 > 1:35:42Prien's had it. Dump the heavy stuff overboard. Everything loose.
1:35:44 > 1:35:48Who's the crutch with us now? Don't even mention it!
1:35:49 > 1:35:53About Daphne... She beat me, Bolland.
1:35:54 > 1:35:56Beat me right to the ground.
1:35:56 > 1:35:59The only woman that ever did.
1:35:59 > 1:36:04- You think the meek will inherit the earth?- How would I know?
1:36:04 > 1:36:06Well, if they do...
1:36:07 > 1:36:10..count me out.
1:36:13 > 1:36:15There's your boat.
1:36:19 > 1:36:24We're under 600. That's pretty close. I'll get the others out.
1:36:24 > 1:36:28We're over the launch. Jump close together. Brag, you're last.
1:36:28 > 1:36:33We're close to the water. Pull the cord as soon as you're clear.
1:36:33 > 1:36:34Go!
1:36:50 > 1:36:55Buzz! Time to jump. Put her on automatic!
1:36:55 > 1:36:57RATTLING
1:37:29 > 1:37:32Where's your chute?
1:38:43 > 1:38:47All right, baby. We're alone now.
1:38:49 > 1:38:52We're gonna make it. You hear me?
1:38:54 > 1:38:57We're gonna make it.
1:38:59 > 1:39:01Get me up.
1:39:06 > 1:39:09Get me up...
1:39:09 > 1:39:11Come on.
1:39:14 > 1:39:17Get me up...
1:39:30 > 1:39:33SEAGULLS CRY
1:39:46 > 1:39:49He wouldn't get off the plane.
1:39:49 > 1:39:52That's what he always wanted.
1:39:53 > 1:39:55Darling...
1:39:55 > 1:39:57I'm so glad you're here.
