0:05:37 > 0:05:41- Are you out of your bloody minds?! - ALL: Yes, sir!

0:05:41 > 0:05:45You risked the squadron's planes to attend an enemy funeral!

0:05:45 > 0:05:47ALL: Yes, sir!

0:05:47 > 0:05:53- Lehmann and Sternberg knew him, sir. Captain Winston Clyde Walker.- Yes.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55I mean sir.

0:05:55 > 0:05:59My uncle, the Duke of Westchester, is his mother's brother-in-law.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Lehmann and I, we went to school with him. Eton, sir.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05You're talking about a British pilot, for heaven's sake!

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Pity he's not with us any more, sir.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Oh, what the hell!

0:06:12 > 0:06:13Dismissed!

0:06:14 > 0:06:17HE HUMS TO HIMSELF

0:06:20 > 0:06:25Heard you got yourself some holes while paying your condolences, Richthofen.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28I love these small gossipy airfields, Kirmaier.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Anyone want a cigarette?

0:06:30 > 0:06:32French?

0:06:33 > 0:06:37- De rien.- Merci. - Richthofen brought down a two-seater.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43I suppose that's to make up for ignoring my orders?

0:06:43 > 0:06:45No. It's adding to my score.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52I just got the report.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55A British RE8 crashed 12 kilometres from here.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58Let's go find your brain. Let's get your kill confirmed.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Help me. Help me!

0:07:24 > 0:07:27Careful, all right?

0:07:27 > 0:07:30One, two, three...

0:07:30 > 0:07:33- CRIES OF PAIN - I said careful!

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Agh!

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Hurry up, he's bloody heavy!

0:07:55 > 0:07:59- He's losing a lot of blood.- Agh!

0:07:59 > 0:08:02You will be all right. You will be all right.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05You can take him.

0:08:07 > 0:08:08Pick him up.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Thank you. You saved this man's life.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20No. I shot him down.

0:08:55 > 0:08:59The service for Kirmaier will be held at 1600 hours.

0:09:01 > 0:09:05The pilot who led the attack against us four days ago,

0:09:05 > 0:09:07it was Hawker.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10- What?!- Major Lanoe Hawker?

0:09:12 > 0:09:14The very man, sir.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17I saw his face. Full beard.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20Had the Grim Reaper painted on his fuselage.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24Scary fellow. Downed nine of us. When they'd fly reconnaissance,

0:09:24 > 0:09:27he latched a one-shot hunting rifle to his fuselage.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31We almost touched wings. And I'll attempt to stay out of his way.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35- You got that close? Why not attack? - I only attack if I can win.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48How badly do you want the Pour le Merite?

0:09:48 > 0:09:50I'd kill for it.

0:09:51 > 0:09:55I just received a cable from Supreme Headquarters and guess what?

0:09:55 > 0:09:59- They badly want to give it to you. - Why don't they, then?

0:09:59 > 0:10:03You know the rules and not even Imperial Command

0:10:03 > 0:10:08would bend them for you, so hurry up and shoot down that capture balloon.

0:10:08 > 0:10:13I hunt aeroplanes, sir. Not objects that cannot move.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16You're not a hunter, Lieutenant, you're a soldier,

0:10:16 > 0:10:19and you will follow orders, especially ones straight from General von Hoeppner.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28HARMONICA PLAYING

0:10:35 > 0:10:39- What if I shoot down Hawker? - Stay away from Hawker.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41You're no match for him.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Has anybody got a spanner?

0:12:10 > 0:12:12I don't believe it.

0:12:13 > 0:12:19So you finally did it? You bagged yourself a legend.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22That'll make you a legend, too.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Oswald Boelcke, the first of the aces.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29You're desperate to find someone to fill the gap he left?

0:12:29 > 0:12:34You know what he once said to me when I asked how he manages his business?

0:12:34 > 0:12:37"Well, it's quite simple.

0:12:37 > 0:12:42"I fly close to my man, aim well and then of course he falls down."

0:12:43 > 0:12:47Hey. Sterny and I drive to Arras.

0:12:47 > 0:12:51Why don't you join us for a drink? We could look for the little nurse.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54I mean, the sooner you have her,

0:12:54 > 0:12:56the sooner you get her out of your system.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59We can't have ties to the ground, can we?

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Werner.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06Hm?

0:13:06 > 0:13:12I'll fill that gap. I'll be the first of the aces.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15MUSIC PLAYS, BUZZ OF CONVERSATION

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Sit down and have a drink with us.

0:13:19 > 0:13:20Here.

0:13:28 > 0:13:33- I'm married, you know. - L'Chaim.- L'Chaim.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36NURSE: We need a bucket of water.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Lieutenant. - The name is von Richthofen.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Please to meet you again, mademoiselle.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13- I know your name.- Well?

0:14:13 > 0:14:16The pilot you shot down told me who you were.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18Did he survive?

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Do you really care?

0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Or are you just curious?- The latter.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26At least you are honest.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28It's a start, isn't it?

0:14:28 > 0:14:34Can you be caring without being curious in the first place? So, what's your name?

0:14:34 > 0:14:41His name is Captain Roy Brown and he's alive, no thanks to you.

0:14:41 > 0:14:46He told me you are a supreme profession...and a tricky rascal.

0:14:47 > 0:14:52Well, tell him that I'm honoured by his compliments and, er,

0:14:52 > 0:14:56hope I never have to meet him in the skies again.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58He might get the better of me,

0:14:58 > 0:15:01and I might not be lucky enough to have...

0:15:01 > 0:15:03such a gorgeous attendant.

0:15:05 > 0:15:06Unbelievable!

0:15:06 > 0:15:09Enjoy your evening.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12Do you happen to know what became of my scarf?

0:15:12 > 0:15:17- I'll have it sent to you. - No. Keep it. It'll bring you luck.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Stop! In we go!

0:15:40 > 0:15:42- I'm starving.- Yeah, me, too.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45Prussians don't whine, gentlemen.

0:15:48 > 0:15:53'Prussia's highest bravery award - the order Pour le Merite.'

0:15:57 > 0:16:03High Command is giving you a tremendous responsibility, young man, going far beyond this medal.

0:16:03 > 0:16:09You're promoted to lead not only the men I've just placed under your command,

0:16:09 > 0:16:12you've been chosen as a leader of all fighting men.

0:16:12 > 0:16:17A symbol of courage, bravery and boldness and determination.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20A symbol of Germany's superiority.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Pilots are like gods, Richthofen.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27When we lost Boelcke, our troops lost a hero

0:16:27 > 0:16:34and if our enemy can kill a god, what chance does the poor farmhand

0:16:34 > 0:16:38dug deep into the trenches think he has, hmm?

0:16:38 > 0:16:42Gods don't die. Do you understand?

0:16:44 > 0:16:46Yes, sir.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48Fine.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51You're dismissed, gentlemen.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54PEOPLE CHATTER

0:17:04 > 0:17:06- Hold tight.- I know!

0:17:06 > 0:17:10- Keep the rudder straight. Go over there.- Stop now!

0:17:12 > 0:17:18Go straight. I said straight. You're not going straight!

0:17:18 > 0:17:19I can't concentrate!

0:17:21 > 0:17:26Everybody comes to honour our son and all they do is play with that plane.

0:17:26 > 0:17:30It's like little boys. As if my brothers would ever grow up.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32Handsome little boys.

0:17:32 > 0:17:36Take a left now. Slow down.

0:17:36 > 0:17:42Let them enjoy their youth... whilst they can.

0:17:42 > 0:17:47- I know, my friend! Would you please shut up?- >

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Go over there.

0:17:49 > 0:17:53OK, I'll go faster now.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59WOMEN SCREAM

0:17:59 > 0:18:01Watch out!

0:18:01 > 0:18:05- Watch the haystack!- I know!

0:18:21 > 0:18:26Keep the sun on your back. Don't fire too soon.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30It just warns your opponent and has no other effect.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Best range for shooting is 50 metres. Not more.

0:18:35 > 0:18:39But remember, our task is to bring down aeroplanes, not men.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43So stop firing when your opponent's falling.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Gentlemen, we're sportsmen,

0:18:46 > 0:18:48not butchers.

0:18:55 > 0:18:56- Merci.- De rien.

0:19:01 > 0:19:07Gentlemen, I'd like you to meet my chief mechanic Sergeant Rouber.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10WHISTLING

0:19:10 > 0:19:13Dismissed.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15- HEELS CLICK - Sir!

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Stop clicking your heels, Menzke.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20- Yes, sir. - HEELS CLICK AGAIN

0:19:20 > 0:19:21Hello.

0:19:21 > 0:19:26Oh, I almost forgot. If each of you

0:19:26 > 0:19:30hasn't shot down at least one in the next four weeks, you're fired.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00GUNFIRE IN THE DISTANCE

0:20:16 > 0:20:20Lieutenant, this is a hospital. Who do you think you are?

0:20:52 > 0:20:54I'm sorry. You knew him well?

0:21:00 > 0:21:02I still don't know your name.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05Kate...Otersdorf.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Allemand? German name?

0:21:08 > 0:21:13- Mon pere est Allemand et ma mere est Belge.- Ah, a German father. I see.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16Love these fine cigarettes.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20LIGHTER CLICKS REPEATEDLY

0:21:26 > 0:21:30You're a...very beautiful woman.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35I was hoping to see you again.

0:21:35 > 0:21:40- I thought maybe you might be wearing my scarf.- I'll get it for you.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59I couldn't get all the stains out.

0:22:00 > 0:22:04Mademoiselle, have I done something wrong?

0:22:04 > 0:22:09- Am I not worth an answer or is it just that you hate all men?- Hate?

0:22:09 > 0:22:13I don't hate you. It's a male domain.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15But you're angry, aren't you?

0:22:16 > 0:22:22There's another man's blood on it and you do not seem to care.

0:22:22 > 0:22:27Men like you scare me, because I do not understand why you do what you do.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29And being scared makes me angry.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32Now please...

0:22:32 > 0:22:34leave me alone.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Wait. Wait!

0:22:38 > 0:22:43Imagine you're up there, like a hawk looking down.

0:22:43 > 0:22:47The wind blows around you. The smell of the engine.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50The draught of the propeller.

0:22:50 > 0:22:56Up there you can let yourself fall. You can climb and turn and spin.

0:22:56 > 0:23:00Freedom. It's what men have always dreamt of.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05I have dreamt of it since I was a little boy.

0:23:05 > 0:23:09But the best part is the chase. The fight.

0:23:09 > 0:23:14The hunt. Sometimes, you see your enemy up close

0:23:14 > 0:23:18and you know he's like you, that he thinks the same thoughts with the same excitement.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21It's like a match.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23A joust. It's like a sport.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Tennis does not kill you.

0:23:26 > 0:23:30It's childhood dreams that got your friend killed.

0:23:35 > 0:23:36No, I don't hate you, Baron.

0:23:39 > 0:23:40I pity you.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48Gentlemen, please!

0:23:48 > 0:23:51It shouldn't be that hard to paint a plane, should it?

0:23:53 > 0:23:56Just do it, Rouber!

0:24:04 > 0:24:08Manfred, what's wrong with you?

0:24:08 > 0:24:10What is this crazy paint job all about?

0:24:10 > 0:24:14Manfred, you know damn well OCA will crucify you for this.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17I don't care about what the office in charge of aviation does

0:24:17 > 0:24:20and you'd better not question my orders!

0:24:20 > 0:24:24I just think you're making a mistake. They'll spot you from a long way off.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27We'd completely lose the advantage of surprise.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29I don't want them to be surprised.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33I want them to be scared.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39HEELS CLICK

0:24:43 > 0:24:45Lieutenant Kurt Wolff reporting for duty, sir.

0:24:48 > 0:24:52Planning to take your nap up there, Lieutenant?

0:24:52 > 0:24:55Never fly without it, sir. You know, for luck.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57Superstitious, huh?

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Like me.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02My mother keeps ordering new coats from our tailor.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04I never pick them up.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08See you around.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Sir!

0:25:30 > 0:25:32- General!- General von Hoeppner.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35Over here, sir!

0:25:39 > 0:25:44You've become quite a celebrity, Baron. You're making headlines.

0:25:48 > 0:25:53The Emperor himself mentioned your name after hearing about your 29th victory.

0:25:53 > 0:25:58So...I've brought a little surprise for you.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00Didn't they run out of medals to give me?

0:26:03 > 0:26:05Well, it isn't exactly a medal.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07Sir!

0:26:13 > 0:26:17- This wasn't my idea. - It is certainly good propaganda -

0:26:17 > 0:26:21the Richthofen brothers flying together.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23Welcome.

0:26:23 > 0:26:29Your brother's a nice chap. He really has the spirit our Fatherland needs right now.

0:26:29 > 0:26:33So tell me, they come up with these strange new names for you.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36The Diablo Rouge, or the Red Baron.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38Why is that?

0:26:59 > 0:27:00I see.

0:27:00 > 0:27:04- <- So much about army rules and regulations.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07Interesting.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10Very interesting.

0:27:19 > 0:27:23Try to keep the sun on your back. Watch out for the winds.

0:27:23 > 0:27:28And never forget, a pilot's greatest virtue is to know when to run.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31- What's this, a joke?- Just do what it helps you to do, Lothar.

0:27:31 > 0:27:35- Run away from a fight?!- Yes. If you cannot win, you fly away.

0:27:35 > 0:27:39- Fast.- It's a thin line between cowardice and cleverness.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43It's true. All right! Morning, gentlemen.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46That's a great idea.

0:27:46 > 0:27:51I already heard rumours the French think this paint is bullet proof.

0:27:56 > 0:28:01I wouldn't take this with me. Could get in the way up there.

0:28:12 > 0:28:14This looks much better.

0:28:20 > 0:28:22The crop stays here.

0:28:26 > 0:28:30- Scared them off, didn't we? - For now. It's getting busy up there.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33Damn French know how to protect their observation balloons.

0:28:33 > 0:28:35I'm all right.

0:28:35 > 0:28:40That was fun, wasn't it? Can I stay at your quarters tonight?

0:28:40 > 0:28:42- Already feeling lonely?- Yeah.

0:28:42 > 0:28:45Did you have him transferred?

0:28:45 > 0:28:47- Who?- Brother Lothar.

0:28:49 > 0:28:50Where is he? Do you see him?

0:28:50 > 0:28:54He was right behind me. You'd better keep an eye on your little brother.

0:28:54 > 0:28:58He has a hell of a dangerous attitude.

0:31:47 > 0:31:52- Oswald Boelcke, Your Majesty. - Yes, yes. We need men like him.

0:31:52 > 0:32:00I suppose we'll have to give you another promotion, Richthofen.

0:32:00 > 0:32:03You are a real hero.

0:35:11 > 0:35:15I heard you chaps ran into some massive Allied aerial activity?

0:35:15 > 0:35:20- More than massive.- When Germany produces ten planes, you bet hundreds unloaded on the French coast.

0:35:20 > 0:35:25Let them come. We'll shoot them out of the skies by the hundreds.

0:38:01 > 0:38:05I've come to have a look. Sopwith? Brand new, isn't it?

0:38:18 > 0:38:21Why are you still flying around, then?

0:38:21 > 0:38:26Your prison camps are quite fancy. However, they don't have airfields.

0:38:28 > 0:38:32Thanks for pulling me out of that wreck. For saving my life.

0:38:36 > 0:38:39Pulling you from that wreck didn't save your life.

0:38:41 > 0:38:46True. Without her help, I probably wouldn't have made it back into a plane.

0:38:46 > 0:38:48She sure is a great girl.

0:38:48 > 0:38:53She nursed me for weeks. Did you ever get back your scarf?

0:38:58 > 0:39:02- What now?- Guess we could try killing each other with our pistols.

0:39:02 > 0:39:06- Killing you would make me famous too.- Sorry, I didn't bring mine.

1:06:35 > 1:06:36It happens out here.

1:06:38 > 1:06:40We kill a couple of men.

1:06:40 > 1:06:44And while they fall down in flames, we feel just fine.

1:06:44 > 1:06:45I find this irritating.

1:06:54 > 1:06:59My soldiers do not kill people.

1:07:00 > 1:07:03They simply destroy the enemy.

1:07:03 > 1:07:07Well...the effect seems to be the same.

1:07:12 > 1:07:15We've run out of fuel.

1:07:15 > 1:07:17We've run out of ammunition.

1:07:17 > 1:07:19We've run out of planes.

1:07:21 > 1:07:23And we've run out of pilots.

1:07:25 > 1:07:28We've run out of lives.

1:07:28 > 1:07:31So, don't waste yours.

1:07:31 > 1:07:35Never put yourself in all-or-nothing situations.

1:07:35 > 1:07:37Stay out of fights you cannot win.

1:07:37 > 1:07:41Watch out for the winds, they tend to carry you over the lines.

1:07:41 > 1:07:46Cut your losses and take your lives into your own hands and keep them.

1:07:47 > 1:07:51Please let us not lose more of our friends.

1:07:56 > 1:07:58HEELS CLICK

1:07:58 > 1:08:01- Yes, Menzke? - You have a visitor, sir.

1:08:08 > 1:08:10I thought you might want to celebrate.

1:08:15 > 1:08:18HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

1:08:18 > 1:08:19They published your book!

1:08:24 > 1:08:26The whole of Europe is reading it.

1:08:26 > 1:08:29So...how about dinner?

1:08:30 > 1:08:33Maybe a dance?

1:08:33 > 1:08:36- They shut down the Metropole. - Yes, I know.

1:08:36 > 1:08:38A British bomb hit the kitchen.

1:08:43 > 1:08:45DOG BARKS

1:08:49 > 1:08:51They don't want me to fly any more.

1:08:53 > 1:08:58They're doing everything they can to nail me safely to the ground.

1:08:58 > 1:09:00Really?

1:09:04 > 1:09:09They want me to command the entire Air Force. The Emperor himself.

1:09:10 > 1:09:12That's so wonderful.

1:09:12 > 1:09:16So many times I woke up in the middle of the night

1:09:16 > 1:09:18and read the lists of missing pilots.

1:09:24 > 1:09:26It is so good to have you down here.

1:09:26 > 1:09:28It's safe.

1:09:56 > 1:09:59SAWING >

1:09:59 > 1:10:02- Evening, men.- Sir. - Bloody freezing, isn't it?

1:10:02 > 1:10:03Too true, sir.

1:10:09 > 1:10:11A brand-new Bentley.

1:10:11 > 1:10:16Where did you get it? Bentleys don't fall out of the skies.

1:10:16 > 1:10:19Trust me, I had to argue a little bit with the chap.

1:10:26 > 1:10:29You always wanted to be first of the aces.

1:10:29 > 1:10:33- Now they offer it to you and you hesitate.- Yes.

1:10:34 > 1:10:36I always wanted to be like him.

1:10:39 > 1:10:41Werner?

1:10:44 > 1:10:46Could you ever give up flying?

1:10:48 > 1:10:49I don't think so.

1:10:51 > 1:10:56But if you ask my advice, you should grab your chance.

1:10:56 > 1:10:59You only want me to stop, so you can be first.

1:10:59 > 1:11:01How did you find out?

1:11:03 > 1:11:06All right. All right.

1:11:06 > 1:11:07I'll stop...

1:11:07 > 1:11:10if you'll stop first.

1:11:11 > 1:11:14I don't think so. I'm married to my plane.

1:11:14 > 1:11:17This is how I spend my spare time.

1:11:27 > 1:11:31These are fine planes you're building us, Fokker. The best.

1:11:31 > 1:11:32Yes, thank you.

1:11:32 > 1:11:37And yet, somehow, our own pilots seem to think they can do better.

1:11:37 > 1:11:42Oh, well...we sometimes modify the planes a little,

1:11:42 > 1:11:45- here and there. - Modification is one thing,

1:11:45 > 1:11:49- but replacing our engines with those from enemy planes... - How did you hear of this?

1:11:49 > 1:11:55Early this morning, we received a report of the recovery of a new triplane.

1:11:55 > 1:11:58Well, the Brits were less than amused to find

1:11:58 > 1:12:03one of their own Bentley engines in a Fokker they shot down.

1:12:06 > 1:12:09- I need to see it.- Of course. - I need to see it at once.

1:12:09 > 1:12:13Get me the damn report, now!

1:12:41 > 1:12:43Just three more weeks, Manfred.

1:12:43 > 1:12:47I already have my marching orders. I'm going to join your combat wing.

1:12:50 > 1:12:52What's become of him?

1:12:52 > 1:12:54Fallen in combat.

1:12:58 > 1:13:01- And him? His name's Voss, right? - HE GRABS THE PHOTOS

1:13:05 > 1:13:08They're all dead.

1:13:13 > 1:13:16I will fight with you and Lothar.

1:13:16 > 1:13:21I will make offensives in full preparation. They call it Operation Michael.

1:13:21 > 1:13:24- We will win this war, won't we? - Wolfram, please.

1:13:24 > 1:13:26- It's all right, Father. - Of course we'll win.

1:13:26 > 1:13:30The Allies don't have a clue about what's coming at them.

1:13:33 > 1:13:37- This offensive is going to push them back into the Channel.- >

1:13:43 > 1:13:48BOMBS WHISTLE, GUNFIRE RATTLES

1:13:48 > 1:13:50Sir!

1:13:50 > 1:13:51Morning, sir!

1:13:57 > 1:14:00Please, follow us, sir!

1:14:09 > 1:14:11BOMB WHISTLES NEARBY

1:14:11 > 1:14:13Down!

1:14:14 > 1:14:19CRIES OF PAIN ABOVE, MAN SHOUTS

1:14:19 > 1:14:21GUNFIRE RICOCHETS

1:14:21 > 1:14:24- Go, go, go! - EXPLOSIONS CONTINUE

1:14:27 > 1:14:29Fire!

1:14:29 > 1:14:30Reload!

1:14:39 > 1:14:41What an unexpected surprise!

1:14:42 > 1:14:45You came to visit another British defeat, Captain?

1:14:45 > 1:14:48EXPLOSION OUTSIDE, MAN CRIES IN PAIN

1:14:48 > 1:14:51Lieutenant, go and see if you can find somebody with a camera.

1:14:51 > 1:14:55It is excellent propaganda and makes a very good picture.

1:14:55 > 1:15:00To have our flying ace down here with us on this victorious day.

1:15:00 > 1:15:03Your Excellency, we need to talk.

1:15:07 > 1:15:09You don't want me down here.

1:15:09 > 1:15:14If you give me the power to make strategic decisions, you will not like them.

1:15:16 > 1:15:19Why wouldn't we?

1:15:19 > 1:15:21We very much trust your abilities, Baron.

1:15:21 > 1:15:23I'd suggest we surrender.

1:15:23 > 1:15:28Hah! What arrogance! What a bumptious child you are!

1:15:28 > 1:15:32I was victor in 63 aerial battles.

1:15:32 > 1:15:35You know how I did it?

1:15:35 > 1:15:39When I faced a battle I couldn't win, I flew away.

1:15:39 > 1:15:43What makes you think we cannot win this war, Baron?

1:15:43 > 1:15:46What about our boys? Our holy course?

1:15:47 > 1:15:49French.

1:15:49 > 1:15:52Great cigarettes.

1:15:54 > 1:15:59What makes us think our course is better than the French

1:15:59 > 1:16:02or the British or the American?

1:16:02 > 1:16:04It isn't.

1:16:06 > 1:16:09It's not even different from theirs.

1:16:09 > 1:16:12We just need an excuse for what we do, because, without it,

1:16:12 > 1:16:14we would see who we really are.

1:16:20 > 1:16:23Put this fool back into his aeroplane...

1:16:24 > 1:16:27..and give him a parachute!

1:16:27 > 1:16:30I can't afford to lose another idealistic hero.

1:16:41 > 1:16:45- What the hell are you doing? - Sorry for having bothered you, sir.

1:16:45 > 1:16:48What are you doing with my brother's picture?

1:16:48 > 1:16:51He ordered me to take them down.

1:16:51 > 1:16:55All of them. Sir.

1:16:57 > 1:16:58'Operation Michael.'

1:16:58 > 1:17:03Our ground forces attack on both sides at St Quentin, from here and from here.

1:17:03 > 1:17:06That's a 70 kilometre battle line.

1:17:06 > 1:17:11Right. Our task is to gain control of the entire airspace and keep it, my friends.

1:17:11 > 1:17:15Shouldn't be a problem, should it, Bodenschatz?

1:17:15 > 1:17:17Our planes are outnumbered four to one, Udet.

1:17:17 > 1:17:21We've lived with that for months, haven't we?

1:17:21 > 1:17:23It'll be worse than ever.

1:23:41 > 1:23:44His flying circus has swept the British from the skies!

1:23:44 > 1:23:47I saw him fly past,

1:23:47 > 1:23:48waving at us.

1:24:00 > 1:24:03- HEELS CLICK - Sir.

1:24:11 > 1:24:12Gentlemen!

1:24:13 > 1:24:18High Command of the northern sector thanks us for our accomplishments.

1:24:18 > 1:24:21I want to add my thanks.

1:24:21 > 1:24:25You showed me some splendid flying. Thank you.

1:24:25 > 1:24:28- Bravo!- Thank you, sir.- Hear, hear!

1:24:45 > 1:24:47LAUGHTER

1:24:54 > 1:24:56LAUGHTER CONTINUES

1:25:06 > 1:25:08GALLOPING HOOVES

1:25:22 > 1:25:24Is it one of yours?

1:25:26 > 1:25:28I can't tell any more.

1:25:28 > 1:25:30You're flying again, aren't you?

1:25:33 > 1:25:37Why didn't you tell me? Why did you lie to me again?

1:25:46 > 1:25:49HORSE WHINNIES

1:25:58 > 1:26:02I didn't want to scare you. I wanted you to be happy.

1:26:02 > 1:26:05Kate, I just cannot do what they ask of me.

1:26:05 > 1:26:07They offered you safety.

1:26:07 > 1:26:08Your life.

1:26:14 > 1:26:16When I was a little boy,

1:26:16 > 1:26:20I could hit all the targets with my father's rifle.

1:26:20 > 1:26:25Targets so far away the others couldn't even see them.

1:26:25 > 1:26:29I dreamt of seeing everything, dreamt of being like a bird.

1:26:30 > 1:26:32Hawk's eyes.

1:26:32 > 1:26:34Eagle's Eye, I was called.

1:26:35 > 1:26:38When I became a pilot...

1:26:38 > 1:26:41I truly thought I'd see everything from up there.

1:26:43 > 1:26:44I saw nothing.

1:26:44 > 1:26:47I was blind before I met you.

1:26:48 > 1:26:53You opened my eyes. You taught me to see what I didn't want to see.

1:26:55 > 1:26:58We all chose to fly.

1:26:58 > 1:27:03Voss, Sternberg, Lehmann, Wolff, Hawker.

1:27:04 > 1:27:07On whatever side we fought, we all knew the risks we took.

1:27:10 > 1:27:15I wanted to be the best. I wanted to win, and I thought I'd won.

1:27:15 > 1:27:20But I can see now, Kate. I see that we've turned the world into a damned slaughterhouse.

1:27:20 > 1:27:22And I'm already too big a part of it.

1:27:23 > 1:27:28They use my photograph to give hope where there is none.

1:27:28 > 1:27:30They use my name to feign immortality

1:27:30 > 1:27:33whereas the reality is annihilation.

1:27:34 > 1:27:35You said it yourself.

1:27:35 > 1:27:38The men dying out there have no choice. I have.

1:27:38 > 1:27:42I cannot order them into battle.

1:27:42 > 1:27:45I can perhaps lead them, help them, die with them.

1:27:45 > 1:27:48But I will not betray them nor keep the truth from them

1:27:48 > 1:27:51by remaining the immortal god Berlin wants me to be.

1:27:56 > 1:27:59You are my greatest victory.

1:28:19 > 1:28:21Sir?

1:28:23 > 1:28:25Excuse me, sir.

1:28:25 > 1:28:27Sir.

1:28:30 > 1:28:34Sir, British aeroplanes are approaching the front, sir.

1:28:34 > 1:28:37- Thank you.- Sir.

1:28:56 > 1:28:57Yes, thank you.

1:29:05 > 1:29:08They were last reported at Lagnicourt.

1:29:08 > 1:29:11So...they're coming in from the north west.

1:29:12 > 1:29:14Thank you.

1:29:14 > 1:29:18Brother, you don't mind if I lead Number 11 and you fly on my right?

1:29:18 > 1:29:21- Be my guest.- Wolfram?

1:29:22 > 1:29:26Stay clear of any involvement. Keep close to Lothar.

1:29:26 > 1:29:30If you're attacked, break off and fly home fast.

1:29:30 > 1:29:33It's a thin line between cowardice and cleverness.

1:29:49 > 1:29:51A great day to fly.

1:29:54 > 1:29:57You're a brave man, Baron.

1:30:02 > 1:30:04A very brave man.

1:30:40 > 1:30:42Thank you.

1:30:54 > 1:30:58- If it gets bad, fly back. - Sir.- All right?- Sir.

1:33:41 > 1:33:44He asked me why it was important for me to come here.

1:33:47 > 1:33:49I told him, I love you.
