Up on your feet. Next man.

0:02:180:02:21

Right, you'll do.

0:02:220:02:25

When faced by an armed and determined enemy, first you...

0:02:270:02:31

And either you bash him one or stick him in the belly.

0:02:320:02:36

If you want to be real nasty, you...

0:02:360:02:39

-ALL:

-Tread on his blank-blank fingers!

0:02:390:02:41

Right!

0:02:410:02:43

Next man. You'll do.

0:02:430:02:45

Let's try again.

0:02:450:02:47

Let someone else have fun.

0:02:470:02:50

-Proper airborne, weren't ya, Canada?

-Didn't you hear me, Evans?

0:02:500:02:53

What about the others? I'm not selfish.

0:02:530:02:57

Come on. Right.

0:02:570:02:59

When faced by an armed and determined enemy, first you...

0:03:010:03:06

Either you bash him one or stick him in the belly.

0:03:080:03:12

If you want to be real nasty, you...

0:03:120:03:15

-ALL:

-Tread on his blank-blank fingers.

0:03:150:03:16

Right! Gordon.

0:03:160:03:18

He's leavin' himself wide open.

0:03:180:03:21

I am, am I?

0:03:210:03:23

Come on.

0:03:250:03:27

When faced by an armed and determined enemy, first you... Ooh!

0:03:310:03:35

Just a minute.

0:03:350:03:37

What's your name?

0:03:460:03:48

McKendrick, sir.

0:03:480:03:49

The army appreciates you donating free hand-to-hand combat lessons.

0:03:490:03:54

The army already has a manual, based on experience in real fighting

0:03:540:04:00

Co-operate with instructors, refrain from gymnastics. Is that clear?

0:04:000:04:04

Yes, sir.

0:04:040:04:07

Who's that new geezer?

0:04:070:04:08

I never seen him before.

0:04:080:04:10

-TUTS:

-He don't seem to like Canada.

0:04:100:04:13

Fall out.

0:04:130:04:15

Carry on, Sergeant.

0:04:170:04:18

Yes, sir.

0:04:180:04:19

If you can.

0:04:190:04:22

Next man.

0:04:250:04:27

How long is it now, Flash?

0:04:330:04:34

I was born up here!

0:04:340:04:37

That sergeant must be Dracula's big brother.

0:04:370:04:41

I'm afraid it's my fault.

0:04:410:04:42

And you ain't even queasy. How come, Canada?

0:04:420:04:46

I'm a roller-coaster man myself.

0:04:460:04:49

That's it, sir.

0:04:540:04:55

Thanks. It was instructive.

0:04:550:04:57

Thank you, sir.

0:04:570:04:59

If a little barbarous.

0:05:010:05:03

Excuse me, sir. As you've only just arrived here, sir, and I've...well...

0:05:030:05:09

Yes?

0:05:090:05:10

Someone who knows the place might be useful, sir.

0:05:100:05:13

For instance?

0:05:130:05:15

You'll need a second in command for your stunt.

0:05:150:05:20

"Stunt" is a word I won't apply to a military operation.

0:05:200:05:23

The chief instructor said he'd put a word in.

0:05:230:05:27

He did. It's a word I wouldn't care to use, but we'll see.

0:05:270:05:32

"A falling object descends at the rate of 32 feet a second...

0:05:350:05:40

"accelerating to the maximum speed of 176 feet a second."

0:05:400:05:46

Blimey, that's descending.

0:05:460:05:48

You'll be all right, Alf, as long as you land on your big head

0:05:480:05:51

Green light on. Action stations, number one. And...

0:05:520:05:57

Hold it! >

0:05:570:05:59

What are you doing up there?

0:06:010:06:05

Practising.

0:06:050:06:06

To be polite to a regimental sergeant major, address him as "sir"

0:06:060:06:11

Practising, sir.

0:06:110:06:12

GET DOWN BEFORE I THROW YOU IN THE GUARDROOM!

0:06:120:06:16

Two volunteers to put him on his bed. You and you. At the double!

0:06:160:06:21

Ooh, my leg.

0:06:210:06:23

So, you're what they're turning out as soldiers these days.

0:06:310:06:35

I wanted to see for myself.

0:06:390:06:41

Hm. Mm-hm.

0:06:430:06:45

A horrible lot of little men.

0:06:460:06:49

Well, thank God we've still got a navy.

0:06:510:06:54

DISCONTENTED CHATTER

0:06:560:06:59

Here. Let's look.

0:06:590:07:00

And I'll kick him in the...

0:07:000:07:02

First balloon jump, 0600 hours tomorrow. Got it?

0:07:040:07:09

Balloon jump? Look it up, Taffy.

0:07:120:07:15

What does it say?

0:07:150:07:17

"The preliminary reports on the use of balloons

0:07:170:07:20

"for initial jumps are favourable.

0:07:200:07:23

"The lack of slipstream on the body

0:07:230:07:26

"..means the pupil tends not to twist and somersault.

0:07:260:07:31

That's nice.

0:07:310:07:32

"The jumper has to fall further before his parachute fully opens.

0:07:320:07:36

"This delay is more thrilling."

0:07:360:07:39

You lucky people.

0:07:390:07:41

"The Roman candle, when the parachute leaves the bag but fails to open in time..."

0:07:410:07:46

Lay off, will ya?

0:07:480:07:50

Canada?

0:08:000:08:03

Yeah?

0:08:030:08:04

What's a Roman candle?

0:08:060:08:08

A 'chute that doesn't open.

0:08:080:08:10

Did you ever see one?

0:08:100:08:12

Yeah, I saw one.

0:08:120:08:15

< What happened to the bloke?

0:08:150:08:17

Go to sleep, will ya? I'm bushed.

0:08:190:08:21

CHATTER

0:08:340:08:36

Miss?

0:08:410:08:42

May I have another, please?

0:08:480:08:51

What's wrong with it?

0:08:510:08:52

It's X-type, different from the rest.

0:08:520:08:56

Pilots and instructors have them.

0:08:560:08:59

Change it, will ya?

0:08:590:09:01

Hurry up, you!

0:09:010:09:02

Well...the customer is always right.

0:09:020:09:05

We do pack about 50 parachutes a day at least.

0:09:050:09:10

Don't get sore.

0:09:100:09:11

I'm not sore. It's natural to be a bit edgy before your first jump.

0:09:110:09:18

Is it?

0:09:180:09:20

Everybody is. It's nothing to do with...being frightened, you know.

0:09:200:09:23

That's interesting.

0:09:230:09:25

You can stop worrying and relax.

0:09:250:09:29

It's a special I keep, the best 'chute I've packed.

0:09:290:09:33

Good. I wouldn't like to have to repack it on the way down.

0:09:330:09:37

What's your name?

0:09:400:09:42

Gardner.

0:09:420:09:44

What Gardner?

0:09:440:09:46

Working girls don't have first names

0:09:460:09:49

I haven't seen you around.

0:09:490:09:51

I don't get around.

0:09:510:09:52

Ah, officer material.

0:09:520:09:55

I said we work here. On your way, Mr Maple Leaf.

0:09:550:09:59

< Right, left. Right, left. Right, left. Right, left.

0:10:020:10:06

Right, left. Right, left. Right, left. Right, left.

0:10:060:10:10

Right, left. Right, left. Right, left. Right, left.

0:10:100:10:14

Right, left. Right, left. Squad, halt! One, two. Fall out.

0:10:140:10:19

Check the hooks, Corporal Dawes. Who'll go first?

0:10:210:10:25

No ugly rush, now.

0:10:250:10:28

All right. We'll have to pick out a few volunteers for the first stick.

0:10:280:10:32

Canada, suppose you show us how it's done. You'll like doing that.

0:10:350:10:41

Who else, Corporal Dawes?

0:10:410:10:42

You, Evans. Gordon. Come on, Stubbins.

0:10:420:10:46

Each man check his release box.

0:10:470:10:49

Easy. Don't all hit the boxes at the same time.

0:10:530:10:56

It sounds like the Salvation Army on a Sunday afternoon.

0:10:560:11:01

You've nothing to worry about.

0:11:010:11:03

They're smashing parachutes. They ought to be at £60 apiece.

0:11:030:11:07

Morning, Bill.

0:11:200:11:21

Morning.

0:11:210:11:23

"All right, you gentlemen aloft. We're ready. We are ready."

0:11:230:11:28

He's ready.

0:11:280:11:30

So are we. I don't like your colour. You look a bit green.

0:11:300:11:34

What colour would ya like?

0:11:340:11:35

Surprise me.

0:11:350:11:37

"Number one - parachuting position."

0:11:370:11:40

Action station, number one.

0:11:400:11:42

Jump when I touch you on the shoulder. Are you ready? Go.

0:11:440:11:49

There goes my first one.

0:11:560:11:58

"Reach up high on your front lift webs.

0:11:580:12:02

"Pull down steadily now.

0:12:020:12:05

"Your head forward, feet together.

0:12:050:12:09

"OK, hold that. OK, number two."

0:12:090:12:12

Right. Go!

0:12:140:12:15

"OK, number three."

0:12:280:12:30

Stand by, number three.

0:12:300:12:32

Ready. Go!

0:12:320:12:35

Look at mine. Oh, the silly, clumsy clot.

0:12:410:12:46

BELL

0:12:490:12:51

"OK, number five."

0:13:040:13:07

AMBULANCE BELL

0:13:110:13:13

They're not bad.

0:13:200:13:21

I've seen worse.

0:13:210:13:22

Gardner!

0:13:220:13:24

From now, I'm in business with you.

0:13:260:13:29

Nothing like an established firm.

0:13:290:13:31

Heavy?

0:13:310:13:32

Hm.

0:13:320:13:33

How about a drink tonight?

0:13:330:13:35

Maybe.

0:13:350:13:36

Nice trip?

0:13:360:13:37

Ya didn't have to push me.

0:13:370:13:38

Just trying to help.

0:13:380:13:40

I don't need it.

0:13:400:13:41

What makes you such a ruddy hero, McKendrick? It just ain't natural.

0:13:410:13:48

If he puts his hands on me again, I'll brain him.

0:13:480:13:51

How about that drink?

0:13:530:13:55

Thank you, McKendrick, but this firm doesn't mix business with pleasure.

0:13:550:13:59

SHOUTS ORDER

0:14:030:14:05

We don't know one another well yet, but today, you start your training

0:14:080:14:13

and we can start to find out.

0:14:130:14:16

Now, myself, I'm a professional soldier.

0:14:160:14:20

I will be a professional soldier after this war.

0:14:200:14:23

I will see you are better soldiers than the men you fight. It's that simple.

0:14:230:14:28

This morning, you jump from an aircraft.

0:14:280:14:33

Parachuting has been called dicing with death in the sky.

0:14:330:14:37

It's a revolting phrase, and untrue.

0:14:380:14:41

Parachuting is a means to an end. It gets you into battle, no more.

0:14:410:14:46

After that, you're ordinary soldiers.

0:14:460:14:50

Remember, you're soldiers, not stuntmen.

0:14:500:14:52

You do seven jumps for your wings. Then, you jump whenever ordered.

0:14:520:14:57

A refusal means 84 days' detention and your wings stripped off.

0:14:570:15:03

If you think you don't want any part of this, say so now.

0:15:030:15:07

And it's no disgrace either, not now.

0:15:070:15:10

Good. Carry on, Sergeant Major.

0:15:100:15:12

Sir. Take them, Mr Aldrich.

0:15:120:15:15

-Sergeant Major! Left turn!

-SHOUTS ORDERS

0:15:150:15:19

Quick march! Left, right! Left, right!

0:15:190:15:23

ENGINE SLOWS

0:15:340:15:36

What was that? The engine changed its noise.

0:15:360:15:40

The pilot's throttling back.

0:15:400:15:42

Yes, it means we've got to get ready. Prepare for action!

0:15:420:15:48

Nothing to it. I've loved my 88 jumps.

0:15:560:16:00

Just like falling off a log, only further. Right, watch the red light.

0:16:000:16:05

Action stations, number one.

0:16:070:16:10

Come on now, action stations.

0:16:100:16:12

All right. Tell you what I'll do.

0:16:120:16:16

I'll jump first to show you a piece of cake. Dawes, you're dispatcher.

0:16:160:16:21

Right.

0:16:210:16:23

We get paid extra for this. Proper swindle.

0:16:230:16:27

Stand by. Green light. Go!

0:16:270:16:30

Just like falling off a log.

0:16:300:16:33

Action stations, number two! Come on now, any of you.

0:16:490:16:53

Come on. This is an order!

0:16:530:16:56

If you don't jump now, you'll never make it later!

0:16:560:17:00

Action station, number two!

0:17:000:17:03

Take your hands off me or I'll drag you out with me.

0:17:030:17:07

That's more like it. Action stations, number three! Go!

0:17:110:17:14

Number four.

0:17:140:17:18

Go!

0:17:180:17:19

PLANE DRONING

# Now come sit by my side if you love me

0:18:210:18:26

# You'll not hasten to bid me adieu

0:18:260:18:31

# Just remember the poor parachutist

0:18:310:18:35

# Who is doing his job just for you

0:18:350:18:41

# Now stand by with your glasses all ready

0:18:410:18:47

# Drink your health to the men of... #

0:18:470:18:50

Here's to a fine man's memory.

0:18:500:18:52

I remember the smile on his face.

0:18:520:18:55

What are you trying to do, turn this into a wake?

0:18:550:18:59

You girls sit there, I'll get your drinks.

0:19:010:19:05

"Easy as falling off a log," he said

0:19:050:19:08

Look, he made 88 jumps, and the odds finally caught up with him.

0:19:080:19:13

He didn't have to make that jump. He played it that way.

0:19:130:19:17

If he were here, he'd tell you to drink that beer, not cry into it.

0:19:170:19:23

Let's have a game of darts.

0:19:230:19:24

You two go ahead, I'm all right.

0:19:240:19:26

I don't like darts, but it might cheer him up.

0:19:260:19:30

-May I sit down?

-It's a free country.

0:19:420:19:45

That's a rousing welcome.

0:19:450:19:47

Did you expect a 21-gun salute?

0:19:470:19:49

Make it 48, will ya?

0:19:490:19:52

I heard about this morning, about Breton.

0:19:530:19:57

Let's talk about something else, huh?

0:20:000:20:02

I was wrong about you.

0:20:020:20:04

I thought you were like the others - scared inside and covering up.

0:20:040:20:09

But you're not scared, are you?

0:20:090:20:11

Yes.

0:20:110:20:12

You're not. You know what they say here?

0:20:120:20:16

There are two types of men who jump - the crazy and the scared.

0:20:160:20:21

You're neither. I don't think I like it.

0:20:210:20:24

Another drink?

0:20:240:20:26

You pride yourself on it, don't you? It's very important to you.

0:20:260:20:32

-What?

-Being brave all the time, physical courage.

0:20:330:20:37

Ha. What is this, truth or consequences?

0:20:370:20:41

Let it pass.

0:20:410:20:44

I didn't know you were interested.

0:20:440:20:48

It's purely academic, I assure you.

0:20:480:20:50

You don't look academic to me.

0:20:500:20:53

It may interest you to know

0:20:530:20:56

that many women don't like the superman type.

0:20:560:21:01

They prefer a little human weakness, some humility.

0:21:010:21:05

Look, everybody's scared of something

0:21:050:21:09

That, coming from you, could be quite an admission.

0:21:090:21:13

You gentlemen know each other. Pinky, Mr McKendrick.

0:21:130:21:18

-Pleased to meet you.

-Sit down, McKendrick.

0:21:180:21:21

"Here is the news."

0:21:240:21:26

"Today, President Roosevelt has transferred 50 American destroyers

0:21:280:21:34

"to Britain in a land-lease grant."

0:21:340:21:36

Land-lease!

0:21:360:21:38

"In exchange, the US get leases to construct airfields and bases

0:21:410:21:46

"on British land under the US defence programme."

0:21:460:21:49

Defence! What are the Yanks defendin'? Who's shootin' at them?

0:21:490:21:54

That's right.

0:21:540:21:56

50 stinkin' tin cans that ain't sailed since World War One.

0:21:560:22:01

A nice profit they'll make, too.

0:22:010:22:02

America'll fight.

0:22:020:22:04

They'll fight to the last Englishman

0:22:040:22:07

The last Welshman too.

0:22:070:22:09

They're all right at talkin' war. When do they start fightin' it?

0:22:090:22:15

What about right now?

0:22:150:22:17

You sound like a bloody Yank!

Stop it! Stop it, all of you!

0:22:340:22:37

And what's going on in here, may I ask?!

0:23:020:23:05

You horrible little man!

0:23:090:23:11

You're all in close arrest!

0:23:130:23:15

Below, Sergeant.

0:23:150:23:17

Left, right! Left, right! Left turn! Halt!

0:23:170:23:22

Next man. Quick march! Left, right! Left, right!

0:23:220:23:27

< Next man, take your place.

0:23:270:23:30

-Anybody got a razor blade?

-What for?

0:23:310:23:33

Will Private Dawes cut his throat?

0:23:330:23:37

You're lucky to get busted.

0:23:370:23:39

Hitler was a corporal. It's done him no good.

0:23:390:23:42

You got something there.

0:23:420:23:45

-Is that correct, McKendrick?

-No, sir. I started it.

0:23:450:23:48

-Anything to add?

-No, sir.

0:23:480:23:51

Striking a superior is a court-martial offence.

0:23:510:23:56

Corporal Dawes says he started it. I want to know what really happened.

0:23:560:24:02

You go back under close arrest.

0:24:020:24:04

Private McKendrick, ABOUT TURN!

0:24:040:24:08

QUICK MARCH! Left, right! Left, right! Left, right! Left!

0:24:080:24:12

Get me his service record.

0:24:140:24:15

Yes, sir.

0:24:150:24:17

Angry man.

0:24:210:24:23

We'll get it out of him, sir.

0:24:230:24:24

Directed anger can be good in a soldier.

0:24:240:24:28

Do we give him special treatment?

0:24:280:24:30

On the contrary, Sergeant Major. Let me see.

0:24:300:24:34

"Enlisted - Montreal. Place of birth - Los Angeles."

0:24:340:24:39

Anything else, sir?

0:24:400:24:41

College, two years. Profession says "aircraft industry".

0:24:410:24:46

Any military experience, sir?

0:24:460:24:48

None listed. Pretty vague, eh?

0:24:480:24:51

Still, when you're short of men, you don't ask questions.

0:24:510:24:55

Have Security run a check on him.

0:24:550:24:58

Yes, sir.

0:24:580:25:00

He interests me.

0:25:000:25:02

Hi, there. >

0:25:060:25:08

No prison pallor, I see.

0:25:130:25:16

Is it a ladies' rehabilitation society?

0:25:160:25:19

I've been waiting to apologise.

0:25:190:25:22

Well, well.

0:25:220:25:23

Not to you, not now, but... well...to the United States.

0:25:230:25:28

We accept your apology.

0:25:280:25:30

I came here with good intentions.

0:25:300:25:33

I might admit you were provoked, but for a man to...

0:25:330:25:38

It's disgraceful. I ruined my best nylons.

0:25:380:25:42

Do you know what they cost, if you can get them?

0:25:420:25:46

Whatever it was, it was worth it.

0:25:470:25:50

So help me, next time I have a bottle, I'll launch that guy.

0:25:510:25:56

< Hold it!

0:25:570:25:59

Keep tryin', Plotsky.

0:26:030:26:05

Walewski.

0:26:050:26:06

What's wrong, Cookie?

0:26:190:26:20

I got my walking papers. They're sending me back to my old unit.

0:26:200:26:25

You'll be the army's best cook.

0:26:250:26:27

Not me. I've applied for a transfer to the commandos.

0:26:270:26:31

Hey, you've got something there.

0:26:340:26:38

Not a hope, McKendrick. I couldn't agree to a transfer.

0:26:380:26:42

Do you know what it costs to train one parachutist?

0:26:420:26:46

Over £5,000.

0:26:460:26:48

If I transfer you, what have we got for our money? Absolutely nothing.

0:26:480:26:53

There are two ways to leave here - refuse to jump, or feet first.

0:26:530:26:59

Is that final, sir?

0:27:010:27:02

Of course, you could refuse to jump.

0:27:020:27:06

All right, you can fall out.

0:27:060:27:08

This is Gordon, sir.

0:27:400:27:42

-Your wings.

-Thank you, sir.

0:27:430:27:46

You're from Canada. I'm glad to see you.

0:27:460:27:49

Thank you, sir.

0:27:490:27:52

-Where are you from?

-London, sir.

0:27:520:27:54

I should have known. Your wings.

0:27:540:27:57

Thank you, sir.

0:27:570:27:59

Company!

0:27:590:28:01

Eyes left!

0:28:010:28:02

You've rehearsed this on mock-ups of the terrain.

0:28:150:28:19

You should know it like the back of your hand.

0:28:190:28:22

Only this is the real thing. Operation Pegasus goes tonight.

0:28:220:28:27

It's to bring back German radar equipment

0:28:270:28:30

that's helped to shoot down our bombers.

0:28:300:28:34

To recapitulate - our first group takes the house and the radar post.

0:28:340:28:40

Our radar expert, who'll come later...

0:28:400:28:44

will get the equipment he needs.

0:28:440:28:47

We will hold off the Jerry garrison in the farmhouse.

0:28:470:28:51

Our second group take the beaches, we join them, the navy take us off.

0:28:510:28:56

Any questions?

0:28:560:28:58

Any suggestions? Right.

0:28:580:29:01

You men come from different places and units.

0:29:030:29:06

You've certain things in common.

0:29:060:29:08

You're all volunteers, all hand-picked.

0:29:080:29:12

It's a tradition we inherited from the first, original Roman legions.

0:29:140:29:19

You're well armed. I think you've been well trained.

0:29:190:29:23

You've got a full moon and a rising tide. The rest is up to you.

0:29:230:29:29

Good hunting.

SHOUTS ORDER

0:29:310:29:35

Everyone report to the parachute issuing room in half an hour!

0:29:370:29:42

Sir.

0:29:430:29:44

What's that?

0:29:510:29:52

Oh, one of the girls wrote it.

0:29:520:29:55

"Give my heroes kind wind and fair weather.

0:29:550:29:58

"Let no parachute sidle or slump.

0:29:580:30:02

"For today we go warring together.

0:30:030:30:06

"And my soul... will be there at the jump."

0:30:060:30:10

It's rather good, isn't it?

0:30:110:30:14

I wouldn't know. I... Poetry's not in my line.

0:30:150:30:19

Why must you always...

0:30:190:30:21

Stop talking there!

0:30:210:30:23

Right, out on the Tarmac, you men. Move yourselves!

0:30:310:30:35

Next stick in.

0:30:350:30:37

Stick...'shun!

0:30:400:30:43

Company... HALT!

0:31:190:31:21

All right, fall out.

0:31:210:31:24

I'm sorry for the man who hears the pipes and wasnae born in Scotland.

0:31:350:31:39

"Stand by to enplane!"

0:31:390:31:42

"Enplane!"

0:31:420:31:43

Climb aboard, boys.

ENGINE RUNNING

0:31:450:31:48

Good luck. I'll see you tomorrow.

0:31:570:32:00

I hope so, sir.

0:32:000:32:02

Everybody, this is Flight Sergeant Box.

0:32:120:32:15

He's our radar dismantling expert. Take a look at him.

0:32:150:32:19

All right, sit down there.

0:32:190:32:22

Our job's to take good care of him.

0:32:220:32:25

I'll be taking too bloody good care of myself. Thank you.

Look at him. No nerves.

Sleeps through it all!

0:33:500:33:52

One more crack, it'll be no teeth.

0:33:520:33:55

That's enough of that. Save all that for the Jerries.

0:33:550:33:59

I think the men are on edge, sir.

0:34:010:34:03

Do you think they're the only ones?

0:34:030:34:07

Did I tell you about the Gurkhas in India? Wonderful soldiers.

0:34:090:34:14

When I asked, the whole battalion volunteered to jump.

0:34:140:34:18

I told them about their training

0:34:180:34:21

and that they'd do the first jump from 1,000 feet.

0:34:210:34:24

There was absolute uproar.

0:34:240:34:27

Finally, their subadar-major, their RSM,

0:34:270:34:31

came and said "Sahib, the men are not easy in their minds."

0:34:310:34:37

"They want their first jump from 500 feet."

0:34:370:34:40

I said "At 500 feet, the parachutes mayn't open properly."

0:34:400:34:45

A broad grin spread over his face.

0:34:450:34:47

"Oh, sahib," he said "We didn't realise we would have parachutes."

0:34:470:34:53

LAUGHS

0:34:530:34:56

Thank you. I never thought it was that funny myself.

0:34:580:35:02

Crossing the French coast. We'll throw you out soon.

0:35:090:35:12

Thanks, skipper. Prepare for action.

0:35:120:35:15

All wounded must be left just where they are.

0:35:170:35:21

Get in and out as fast as ya can. That's all.

ENGINE DRONES

0:35:250:35:27

Here.

Blimey, it's the Yank.

0:45:310:45:33

How ya feelin'?

0:45:350:45:42

I'm dopey. Otherwise, I'm in the pink.

0:45:370:45:42

I came to say...

0:45:420:45:48

Leave off, will ya? It could've happened to anybody.

0:45:430:45:48

How are the boys?

0:45:490:45:53

They're fine. Can I get ya something?

0:45:500:45:53

Not a thing.

< Sure now?

0:45:550:46:00

Sure. I'm fine.

0:45:570:46:00

Except my feet, they're very cold.

0:46:000:46:03

Can you tuck that blanket in? I can't reach it.

0:46:030:46:08

Sure.

0:46:080:46:09

How's that?

0:46:340:46:36

Oh, that's much better. They'll get warm in a minute.

0:46:360:46:40

I'd...better go and let you get some sleep.

0:46:400:46:44

Give my love to the boys.

0:46:440:46:46

Tell them I'll be jumping with them in a fortnight.

0:46:470:46:52

Sure. I'll see ya in the morning.

0:46:520:46:54

Better men than you have felt like that. >

We're for a lot of things you might be surprised at.

You're not kiddin'.

0:47:240:47:26

What does tying the handkerchief to my 'chute mean?

0:47:260:47:32

Just an old English custom.

0:47:320:47:35

Everything's a custom around here.

0:47:350:47:38

Guess I just don't understand you people.

0:47:380:47:42

No.

0:47:400:47:42

And I don't understand you.

0:47:420:47:44

So why should I ever expect you to understand me?

0:47:460:47:50

Wait!

0:48:080:48:09

Here's something you will understand.

0:48:110:48:13

"The new headgear will be worn at all times...

"unless personnel are directed otherwise."

0:48:210:48:25

"J Wilcox, Lieutenant Colonel, for Major General Commanding, First Airborne Division."

Right. Fall out, front rank. Draw issue.

< Seven one/two for me, please.

0:48:400:48:42

Put them on, or doesn't the style suit you?

0:48:440:48:48

Put it on straight. It's not a fashion parade.

0:48:480:48:52

0:49:480:49:51

You sent for me, sir.

0:49:520:49:58

Ah, McKendrick. Grab a chair and sit down.

0:49:540:49:58

We've been instructed to raise more officers.

0:49:580:50:02

I've sent your name in.

0:50:020:50:04

Don't worry. You see a selection committee, but that's a formality.

0:50:060:50:11

I don't want a commission, sir.

0:50:110:50:19

It's not about what you want. We need officers.

0:50:140:50:19

Captain Langton and I think you'd make a good one. It should be enough

0:50:190:50:23

I don't have to take a commission.

0:50:230:50:27

There's no regulation, but if a man can lead...

0:50:270:50:30

as I think you can, he also has a responsibility. Think it over.

0:50:300:50:36

I have, sir. Others would make better leaders.

0:50:360:50:40

What's the matter, McKendrick? Don't you like officers?

0:50:400:50:44

There's no regulation about that.

0:50:440:50:52

No disrespect, sir, but I'm a private. I take orders.

0:50:460:50:52

Let somebody else give 'em.

0:50:520:50:55

I see.

0:50:530:50:55

Very well, McKendrick, that's all.

0:50:550:50:58

Good old Dakotas.

0:51:250:51:27

They don't look better than our Wellingtons.

0:51:270:51:34

They do. We come out through the door

-Oh, you cutie.

0:51:340:51:36

He's talking about you, darling, not me.

0:51:370:51:41

Morning, McKendrick.

0:51:430:51:46

Where's the wing commander?

0:51:460:51:51

Search me, mack. I'm a stranger here myself.

0:51:470:51:51

Who's in command of this squadron?

0:51:550:52:00

Inside. Hey, Shortie, front and centre!

0:51:570:52:00

I'm Hamilton. Sorry we're late. We're punchy. No sleep for 36 hours.

0:52:020:52:07

Had manoeuvres over Ireland.

0:52:070:52:12

Mm. So I heard.

0:52:100:52:12

Hey, bud. Catch. >

0:52:100:52:12

Thanks, mack.

0:52:150:52:16

I just thought someone should salute someone round here.

0:52:200:52:24

Where'd ya get that bonnet, mamie?

0:52:310:52:34

Sorry, but nobody laughs at the red beret twice. Excuse me.

0:52:350:52:41

Take that cabbage outta that silly face.

0:52:420:52:46

I don't have to, limey.

0:52:440:52:46

Ya wanna play?

0:52:520:52:54

Say, I know you.

0:52:550:52:59

Kelly Field, you were flyin' that...

0:52:590:53:02

Come on, Penny.

0:53:020:53:06

What did he mean?

0:53:030:53:06

Some mistake.

0:53:050:53:06

He sounded as if he knew you. Didn't he?

0:53:060:53:11

He got his wires crossed.

0:53:080:53:11

What's this?

0:53:130:53:16

< Cinderella's pumpkin.

0:53:160:53:18

Where'd you get it?

0:53:190:53:23

A little game called poker.

0:53:200:53:23

Does it go?

0:53:240:53:28

We'll soon find out.

0:53:250:53:28

We hated leaving here after holidays

0:53:450:53:48

Somehow, now, we never seem to come here.

0:53:480:53:52

Where would ya get time?

0:53:520:53:56

I suppose you're right.

0:53:540:53:56

It's good to be in a house again.

0:54:040:54:10

We forget you're miles from home.

0:54:070:54:10

< You must miss your own home.

0:54:100:54:11

We miss a lotta things.

0:54:110:54:15

You should do that more often.

0:54:160:54:21

What?

0:54:180:54:21

Smile. It suits you.

0:54:200:54:21

Put a match to the fire, would you?

0:54:250:54:32

Sure.

0:54:270:54:32

The wood shouldn't be damp. Mother was here a fortnight ago.

0:54:350:54:38

0:54:380:54:42

Oh, don't close them completely. I... I want to look out.

0:54:490:54:54

0:55:310:55:33

Steve?

0:55:430:55:47

Mm?

0:55:440:55:47

Why didn't you ever tell me?

0:55:470:55:49

Tell you what?

0:55:500:55:53

I believe you're in some sort of trouble.

0:55:530:55:57

Believe that, you'll believe anything

0:55:570:56:00

No.

0:56:000:56:02

I believe you're hiding something.

0:56:020:56:05

What have I got to hide?

0:56:050:56:08

The American sergeant, the one you picked a fight with.

0:56:090:56:13

I picked a fight?

0:56:130:56:15

He made fun of the beret.

0:56:160:56:19

Anyway, he seemed to know you.

0:56:190:56:22

You seem to know a lot about technical flying, or so the boys who jump say.

0:56:220:56:29

That funny ring you wear...

0:56:290:56:31

American officers wear that too. I noticed it today.

0:56:310:56:36

You oughta belong to the FBI.

0:56:360:56:38

Tell me.

0:56:400:56:42

There's nothing to tell.

0:56:430:56:46

Why the ring?

0:56:470:56:48

S McKendrick, serial number 47532.

0:56:500:56:54

Go on, Canada. Go on.

0:56:570:56:59

I was flying a B24, testing rockets.

0:56:590:57:00

Bob Murray was my... He was my co-pilot.

0:57:000:57:06

Bob was... Ha! I used to call him Robbie.

0:57:060:57:10

He and I were as close as two guys could be.

0:57:100:57:14

I was crazy about his wife and his kids.

0:57:140:57:18

I practically lived at their house.

0:57:180:57:21

One day, we were coming in on a target, I was testing rockets.

0:57:220:57:27

A rocket got...caught in the tube.

0:57:270:57:30

I got to thinking about Robbie and his wife and his kids.

0:57:320:57:36

I knew I could land it without exploding it.

0:57:380:57:42

I got to thinkin' about them and I...told him to jump.

0:57:420:57:46

He didn't want to. He wanted to ride it down with me.

0:57:470:57:52

I told him to jump because it was an order. He jumped and he...

0:57:520:57:56

He Roman candled.

0:57:560:58:00

Yeah.

0:57:580:58:00

Yeah, he Roman candled.

0:58:000:58:03

I had to tell his wife. I'll never forget the look on her face.

0:58:050:58:11

< I resigned then.

0:58:110:58:12

But why? It wasn't your fault. You gave the proper order.

0:58:120:58:18

The War Department said that, they all did.

0:58:180:58:21

But I was through giving orders. You can give too many wrong ones.

0:58:210:58:27

You've filled in some blanks -

0:58:270:58:29

..why you're over here and won't take a commission.

0:58:290:58:33

Where'd ya hear that?

0:58:330:58:39

Things get around.

0:58:360:58:39

You know, you should've accepted. All that's over and done with.

0:58:390:58:44

So what?

0:58:440:58:46

Let's drop it.

0:58:490:58:51

I wish I could help you.

0:58:510:58:55

You can.

0:58:530:58:55

No more true confessions.

0:58:550:58:57

Don't blame me for all of it.

0:58:570:59:00

I don't.

0:59:000:59:01

I guess I'm just a sucker for candlelight.

0:59:030:59:07

The man with the camouflaged heart.

0:59:080:59:11

Winter kit, that means snow. I wonder where we'll invade next.

0:59:250:59:30

Switzerland?

0:59:300:59:31

Not if they put it on the board.

0:59:310:59:37

McKendrick. Come on in, man.

0:59:330:59:37

Yes, sir.

0:59:370:59:39

Carry on, Sergeant Major. Come in, McKendrick.

0:59:440:59:48

Stand easy.

0:59:490:59:52

Thank you, sir.

0:59:520:59:54

It's nice to see one's judgement is right. You must know what I mean.

0:59:541:00:00

No, sir.

1:00:001:00:03

I think you should.

1:00:011:00:03

Withholding information about previous service is an offence

1:00:031:00:07

I don't think I'll take any action.

1:00:071:00:09

Sir, who gave you this information?

1:00:111:00:16

Confidential.

1:00:131:00:16

I think I know.

1:00:131:00:16

Let's talk again about a commission.

1:00:161:00:18

Still feel the way I did, sir.

1:00:181:00:20

McKendrick, you've got to grow up someday!

1:00:201:00:24

You can't run away from responsibilities.

1:00:241:00:29

Cos if you do, one fine day...

1:00:291:00:31

if you've three stars, three stripes or nothing, the men will look to you

1:00:311:00:37

When they do, I hope you don't let 'em down.

1:00:371:00:40

Yes, I hope to heaven you don't. Now, that seems to be all.

1:00:401:00:44

Sir...

1:00:491:00:51

Yeah?

1:00:511:00:57

Now the USA is fighting, I want to join one of my own outfits.

1:00:531:00:57

It's the same war. Would you take a commission in your own outfit?

1:00:571:01:03

No, sir. I'd stay a dogface.

1:01:001:01:03

-You might as well stay here.

-Yes, sir.

1:01:031:01:06

Sergeant Major.

1:01:111:01:14

< Sir.

1:01:121:01:14

Send the file back to Security and say thank you for the information.

1:01:141:01:19

While you're about it, make me out an application for transfer to the US Army.

1:01:191:01:26

But don't take his name off the commission list.

I suppose I'll have to be someday.

1:01:441:01:48

Not mine.

1:01:461:01:48

I don't see why you make an issue of this.

1:01:481:01:52

What ya told Colonel Snow?

1:01:521:01:57

Snow?

1:01:541:01:57

Ya had it figured out, a little talk to fix everything.

1:01:571:02:01

I told the colonel nothing.

1:02:011:02:07

That was just between you and me.

1:02:021:02:07

I've told nobody about you.

1:02:041:02:07

It doesn't matter if ya did. You know too much about me.

1:02:071:02:12

I know it's time you stopped nursing your pet phobia...

Draw your winter kit. We leave in one hour.

1:02:341:02:38

Turn out the contents of your pockets.

1:02:381:02:42

We must be careful about what the Jerries find if they capture you.

1:02:421:02:47

Sir, but it's Sunday. I'd made plans.

1:02:471:02:50

So has the army. They win in cases like this.

1:02:501:02:54

Come on, let's have a look now. What have we got here?

1:02:541:02:59

Right, fine. Are these your children?

1:03:021:03:05

Yes, sir.

1:03:051:03:08

Fine boys, they seem.

1:03:061:03:08

Thank you, sir.

1:03:081:03:09

Would Your Lordship like a cup of tea brought to him in bed?!

1:03:091:03:14

MOVE YOURSELF, SON!

1:03:141:03:16

Next man, are you gonna stay in bed all day?

1:03:161:03:20

Did you hear that? He called you "son"!

1:03:201:03:24

What d'ya want me to call him? Daddy?

1:03:241:03:27

Cut the comedy. Gimme a 'chute.

1:03:551:03:58

Well... I've got a spot of news for you.

1:04:041:04:08

Three hours ago, we began the invasion of North Africa.

1:04:081:04:13

The First Army's already landed near Algiers and is moving east towards Tunis.

1:04:151:04:21

Sergeant Major.

1:04:211:04:25

Sir.

1:04:221:04:25

Now, our particular objective is the airfield...here.

1:04:251:04:33

It looks as though we'll not need our snow gear.

1:04:331:04:38

We refuel at Gibraltar and go 350 miles ahead of the army..

1:04:381:04:41

..to destroy this airfield before the Jerries get it.

1:04:411:04:46

Reinforcements'll be rushing there.

1:04:461:04:49

Mine, worst luck.

1:05:201:05:24

You must wait for the next lift.

1:05:211:05:24

It may not be for days, sir!

1:05:241:05:29

Sorry, old boy. Yes, Jimmy?

1:05:261:05:29

We have to enplane, sir.

1:05:291:05:35

Get 'em cracking.

1:05:301:05:35

Hey! You're both under close arrest.

1:06:051:06:09

Heaven help me, so am I. Let's go!

Holy cats, look at those crazy beefeaters.

1:06:311:06:34

You're asking for a court martial.

1:06:361:06:40

Sorry, sir.

1:06:381:06:40

I should throw you off the plane.

1:06:401:06:44

McKendrick, help. It may hold medical supplies.

1:15:471:15:52

Yes, sir.

1:15:511:15:52

Can I help?

1:15:521:15:56

No, sir. I think I can manage.

1:15:531:15:56

< How's that container?

1:15:561:16:02

It's comin', sir. Schmeissers and a funny gadget.

1:15:581:16:02

Faustpatrone.

1:16:021:16:04

If that was a cuppa tea now, it would be some use.

1:16:051:16:09

"Two minutes."

1:16:141:16:15

< "Englishmen, why are you so stubborn?"

1:16:181:16:21

Shall I say there's a stubborn Yank too?

1:16:211:16:24

Look, sir. This is a rocket-type bazooka.

1:16:241:16:28

I think we can make a path if we fire this on the ground and...

1:16:281:16:33

And exploded the mines.

1:16:331:16:35

What d'you think?

1:16:351:16:42

It might work. We'd have to supplement the bazooka with grenades

1:16:371:16:42

"One minute."

1:16:421:16:44

It's worth trying.

1:16:451:16:48

I can't do it with this leg. I'll give ya covering fire from here.

1:16:481:16:53

"50 seconds."

1:16:531:16:55

"I repeat, no escape is possible."

1:16:561:17:00

"This is your last chance to surrender."

1:17:011:17:05

What are you waiting for?

1:17:051:17:12

"40 seconds."

1:17:071:17:12

Ya had to face it. It was always on the cards.

1:17:081:17:12

I told you before, you've got to grow up someday.

1:17:121:17:16

If it won't work, if these men get...

1:17:161:17:19

When will you stop running away from that?

1:17:191:17:23

"30 seconds."

1:17:231:17:25

Maybe you're right, sir. Over to that shell hole.

1:17:271:17:31

I need some ammunition for this bazooka. Come on.

1:17:311:17:36

"20 seconds."

1:17:361:17:38

Are you still with us? McKendrick will blast a path through the minefields with a bazooka.

1:17:381:17:45

"Ten seconds."

1:17:451:17:51

See if you can take out the armoured car then the mortar post.

1:17:461:17:51

Yes, sir.

1:17:511:17:54

FEUER!

1:17:541:17:55

Get that mortar. I'll cover you.

1:18:081:18:11

GUNFIRE

1:18:161:18:18

You're the expert. Come on.

1:18:211:18:26

All right, but you pick out the targets.

1:18:221:18:26

Right by that rock.

1:18:281:18:30

Keep your heads down.

1:18:301:18:32

Down.

1:18:321:18:36

Fire.

1:18:341:18:36

1:20:011:20:03

(We made it.)

1:20:121:20:13

We made it!

1:20:131:20:18

You were right. It did work.

1:20:151:20:18

GUNFIRE

1:20:181:20:20

You go ahead. I'm goin' back.

1:20:211:20:24

Sergeant Major, we're getting out of here.

1:20:241:20:27

Sir, sir.

1:20:271:20:29

Don't try and move.

1:20:291:20:31

Take it easy. Take it easy.

1:20:321:20:34

Come on, sir. The way is clear.

1:20:341:20:39

Can we move him?

1:20:361:20:39

D'ye hear them, sir? D'ye hear the pipes?

1:20:401:20:43

D'ye hear them, sir? D'ye hear them?

1:20:431:20:47

We'll be all right. We'll be all right.

1:20:491:20:51

I'm sorry for the man who hears the pipes...

1:20:521:20:57

1:22:191:22:23

1:22:231:22:25

Think about that commission.

1:22:271:22:31

I will, sir.

1:22:291:22:31

Give me a hand down, will you?
