Morning Standard , ask for the Morning Standard !
Excuse me,
Dad,
Dad !
- What are you doing here ? - My duty,
Like you,
You are a good boy, Come here,
The best,
Come in,
We discover ourselves in front of me,
Come on, bunch of arrears!
The king is waiting and he pays for your exam,
Come on, hurry!
The doctors are waiting for you, the king pays,
We move!
Come on,
Turn your head,
Come on,
L, D, X,
Following,
Breathe deeply,
Profession?
Accounting,
Since when ?
Always,
I see,
You have a crackling rattle in your lungs,
You must have inhaled too much pencil dust
over time,
In addition, your heart has an irregular rhythm,
It is surely hereditary,
I imagine you already know all of this,
It's not the first time you've introduced yourself,
I can do it, I just want to do my duty,
I would say you already do,
No ? Those at the bottom count as much as those at the top,
The Ministry of War wants to impose
certain selection criteria,
I must abide by these rules,
You don't have to be ashamed,
I understand, I would like a chance,,,
Following !
- Age ? - 25 years,
I swear to submit to authority,
Generals and all my superiors,
And to serve until the end of the war,
God save the king,
- Dad, - So, tell me,
It's okay, I'm taken,
No, keep it, You are a man now,
Take this, the phone is out,
Communications 113, Capital importance,
The fight resumes!
Go ahead !
Soldier, tell them,,,
Come on!
Lower your head!
Stretcher bearers!
Others are coming!
Prepare for the counterattack!
What are you doing here ?
Message from extension 23,
HQ, ext, 299,
The infantry did not break the front line,
We didn't take the German trenches,
How many human losses?
40,000, according to estimates,
Why ?
Seven days that we throw away
everything we have against their lines,
How many shells?
A million and a half,
Yet you tell me
that we did not make a breach,
Reports indicate
that the Germans dug their bunkers 10 m underground,
With all due respect,
at this depth, all the artillery in the world
could not do anything,
Apparently,
We could fall back,
And lose ground? No,
- General,,, - We won't give in
one centimeter of land,
It's understood ?
For that, they must have faith,
This is an essential aspect, we must believe
in his duty, in his own capacities,
Believe in victory,
General, we cannot hold the front indefinitely, We need,,,
Another decisive assault,
I agree,
The Germans know we have the best army,
Their morale will be damaged by repeated attacks,
General, if I may,,,
If you insist, Jack,
Our assault must be decisive, It's just,
But to break through the German front,
we will have to innovate,
we must surprise the Boches,
And you know how to do it, I guess?
Absolutely,
Monsieur is waiting for you in his office,
Thank you,
With all due respect, the answer is no,
Without these men, can you imagine the drop in production?
You will get fair compensation,
Let me decide what is fair,
It is an important period for us,
Indeed, for all of Great Britain,
Spare me your speech as a good little soldier,
Everyone is doing their part, If you don't have better,
I have things to do,
You are absolutely right, Everyone is doing their part,
The soldiers at the front,
men and women in forges and mills,
and you, even if it is unknown what you are doing,
I despise even more than the enemy
those who trample on our dead and call themselves patriots,
I knew, a few months ago,
an arrogant man, at the head of his fiefdom,
He believed himself to be above the war,
We decided to show him more closely,
You see what I mean ?
Fortunately there are people like you
who understand that unity is necessary,
Absolutely,
So I will ask you with respect
to give your country what it asks for,
When the papers are signed, our office
ensure receipt of funds,
I understand that sounds unusual,
But I have to talk to you about an important subject,
You allow ?
It's better like that,
Don't believe the newspapers, We are losing the war,
If we don't act, we will have to surrender,
Listen,
This asshole is going to withhold that from our pay,
Can we get it over with?
Very good,
Your country needs you,
During these few bursts of laughter,
one of our soldiers was shot in the head,
a father jumped on a bomb, another,
maybe a friend of yours was gutted by a shell,
Me too, I like to laugh,
but let me describe our situation to you,
Come closer,
This is the Somme,
There are the Allied lines,
There is the German front,
The Germans built bunkers
at a depth of 10 meters,
We tried everything against them,
And nothing, The Boches have so many chances
to slip on their sauerkraut than to take a bomb,
When the bombardments stop
they go out and practice shooting our guys,
The morale of the troops is at its lowest,
And in Flanders, we need a victory,
to show our men that we can still win,
Sorry, but what does that have to do with us?
The Boches are difficult to reach from the sky,
- There is another option, - Dig,
Exactly,
We're going to dig a tunnel under no man's land
and send the enemy to the next world,
Our first target is this frontline bunker,
A little bastard goes after and slaughters our guys,
Our first tunnels were failures,
They collapsed in 24 hours,
What is soil?
Clay,
Frankly, we don't have the skills, But you do,
A platoon is at Salisbury,
They will have to be taught to dig clay
and setting up explosives,
Therefore,,,
How much time do we have, sir?
A month,
For God Sake,,,
The platoon will have 3 months to accomplish the mission in France,
No,
We do not have a choice,
They won't,
Your name ?
William Hawkin, sir,
Mr, Hawkin, if you want to speak, now is the time,
I have met few bankers
in my life, but I doubt
that they can dig that fast,
The risk of collapse is constant,
We've been doing this our whole life, but there's always a risk,
No, If you want to blow it all up,
find something else,
What are you proposing?
Let us go in their place,
- Would you do that? - Yes,
It's good,
I'll talk to General Haig about it, We will send you to Flanders,
Thank you sir,
Go back to work,
It's absurd,
Let me explain,
"Surprise the Boches?"
I never imagined it would involve
untrained civilians,
They are not soldiers, it's true,
general, but they don't need to be,
They have to dig, They know how to do it, last year,,,
It doesn't matter where they dug!
It is a military operation,
Not a social experiment,
If it fails, the war effort will be lost, you see?
I must admit that I too have reservations,
Our infantry will make them give way,
We have to keep pushing, over and over again,
But at what cost, general?
A war is won by numbers,
We have the advantage of numbers and we will defeat the Germans,
This is how we will win,
My answer is no,
You can dispose,
With all due respect, the era of the horse is over,
It is that of the armored vehicles, We have to change
and quickly, or we will relive the Battle of the Somme,
The smell of blood will rise again
as far as England, Lloyd George will be unhappy,
Heads will fall,
A very promising career awaits you,
- Think carefully, - It's already done,
This is our best option, I assure you,
Do you personally vouch for these sewer workers?
Absolutely, sir, And if they don't measure up,
Take away my pay and send me to the front,
But give me four months,
You will have your answer,
Very good,
Two months, and not a minute longer,
May I add,,,
My decision is made, Archie,
Jack and his men will be under your command,
- I'd like that on the record, - Noted,
Thanks to both of you for your help, Keep me informed,
Jack,
don't miss it all,
General,
If you want to take these cavemen to the front lines,
you will bear the consequences, Keep them on track,
Put them in line,
and keep them out of my way,
Including ?
Perfectly, sir,
Two months will go quickly,
A bullet goes fast too,
You will miss mother's birthday,
She can come with me,
It will scare the Boches,
Jane,,,
It is my duty, My responsibility,
Your responsibility is to be with your family,
Why you ? They don't have minors?
It's not that easy,
You have to know how to dig clay, They say we are experts,
I'm useful for once,
When I get back, I'll send old Rodgers out for a walk,
The army will offer me a real job,
- And a salary,,, - How stupid you can be!
Don't be ashamed of what you do,
This nosy does not know your life,
Jane,
I'm not doing this blindly,
Everything that matters to me is here,
I protect this house, I dare not imagine
what would happen otherwise,
You will be proud of me, I promise you,
Every week I meet a woman
who is proud of her late husband,
No,
I go,
How are the infantry doing?
Do you want a hand ?
You will come back ?
Of course, Why do you ask me this ?
Uncle David did not return,
It's not the same, son,
He had to do a job he had never done,
It turned out badly, He was unlucky,
Me, it's different, I'm going there to dig, that's all,
Do you know how to dig well?
Yes, very good,
You don't need to worry,
I can't make it hold,
Let's see how we can fix this,
Are you going to ride a horse?
No,
I'll be on a special ward, Top secret,
I'll have a uniform and everything, You can wear it,
And medals?
Lots of medals,
When I get home, I'll be decorated like a tree,
And There you go,
It is repaired,
Come on, let's get busy!
Hurry up!
Sorry, we just arrived,
Good for you, And?
We don't know where we should go,
Your papers ?
You're with Hellfire Jack,
Who ?
Colonel Norton Griffiths, Section 3,
Section 3!
Come, I'll accompany you,
The trench system is simple, There are three main lines:
reserve, support and shooting,
There are the communication trenches
that connect the lines,
Here is the reserve,
We can rest, Relax,
Yes,,,
Absolute relaxation,
We arrive at the support line,
What is that smell?
- You filthy bastard! - Kiss my ass !
A mixture of shit, piss,
cordite and rot, It is unique,
Don't worry, you'll get used to it,
Hi, old man!
The Boches are aggressive this morning,
- Are you okay, kid? - Yes,
Don't worry, you'll get used to it,
Here we are,
This is the Great War,
The water is chlorinated, It's weird at first,
Yes, I know, I'll get used to it,
Thanks, captain, I take over,
Bill, nice to see you all here,
- Some already regret, - But there you are,
We get started and we send you back to England quickly, Come see it,
Harold, I have to go,,, You see?
You just have to tie a knot, Can't you hold back?
No, I'm going to get over it,
So hurry,
Look, at 12 p,m,
What are we looking at?
There is not much,
But that's our goal, about 320 m from here,
It was a farm, The Boches use it
as a machine gun post, They dug deep,
- Officer on approach, - Warning,
Sir,
Jack,
So here is your fine team, isn't it?
My clay diggers,
What is this show?
Get up, little one!
We don't lean on each other, We stand up straight,
You wear the king's uniform, be worthy of it,
There was a village idiot missing, so, did you come?
The farm !
The enemy will burst out laughing before you shoot them,
Shit,,,
Your name ?
Hawkin, William Hawkin, sir,
And you are the head
of that group, Hawkin?
Yes sir,
Awesome,
You will be responsible for their actions,
Keep them away from real soldiers,
They don't need this circus,
- With all due respect,,, - Shut up!
Wait until we speak to you to speak, understood?
- Yes sir, - It's sergeant,
Yes, sergeant,
Everything will be fine,
Nice show,
- Sorry, friend, - The friend?
I don't think we raised the pigs together,
The friend? I am a sergeant, Say it,
- Sergeant, - Stronger !
Dumbass !
Once again, Jack,
you have a fine team,
They are the best,
This moron thinks
that it can support 10 tons of shit,
- They're not thinking about Eton, - No,
32 degrees over 100 meters,
Minus 10 for the rest,
There is work,
We better wiggle our buttocks,
I wouldn't like to be a chef right now,
Lord, you who are our Shepherd,
Stop a little,
- Is he listening to us here? - It's tradition,
Go on, Saint George,
Deliver us from evil and protect our souls,
Shorty,
5 AUGUST
"My dearest Jane,
"in each letter,
"I only have to tell you about a continual merry-go-round,
“Our lives go on,
"We dig the clay,
"This job can be exhausting if you are not careful,
"When it's calmer, I forget,
"I imagine myself digging sewers across the country,
"I expect to meet you in the evening,
"When we go up,
"the truth catches up with me,
"It's strange, what you get used to,
"The rats, the stench,,,
“There are too many things I would like to forget,
"It pains me that the others take us
"for cowards,
"that they think we are hiding,
"I want to tell them what we're doing,
"that they take us for soldiers,
"But once again, we're on our own,
"The war that will end all wars,
"that's what we're here for,
"I have to do my part, my duty,
"Then I'll come find you,
"Take care of yourself and our son,
"With my undying love,
"William,"
We've been here for two months, looks like I'm 60 years old,
- It could be worse, - What do you mean ?
I dunno, That's what they say, right?
Come on guys,
We're wasting time,
That bastard targets me every day,
Who would kill a guy in the toilet?
Someone who knows you,
If it's not him, it will be someone else,
Don't take it for yourself, We'll be leaving soon,
What do we have left?
About 40 meters,
We note their position, we explode them and we go inside,
That's 200,
We dig, we put the bombs
and we're done,
Name of a dog !
Suck it on, it will soften,
It looks like baby cookies, but tough,
- These are dog biscuits, - What?
No, I've been eating it since I've been here,
I have had staff since I was little, I know,
That's right, real crap,
But they tasted good, This is a dog biscuit,
Shit,,,
It was very close,
That, even more,
Everything will collapse!
Support the walls!
Shit !
Go!
Get out!
Everyone is well ?
- George? - Yes, I am fine,
It's okay,
Charlie, are you okay?
Charlie?
Non, it is not OK,
It really wasn't far this time,
Your prayers were useful, Georgie,,,
You are still alive,
Did you imagine it like that, Bill?
I don't know what I was imagining,
Me, it was not that,
I got a card from Maggie this morning,
The goose fair has started, She seen the,,,
the stands of love apples,
I went there every year, without exception,
I would have liked to go,
It sounds like fun,
We will go next year,
All together,
Yes, I would like it,
How do you know the taste of dog biscuits?
- Have you ever tasted it? - I'm not a dog,
Now it's done, It's dog biscuits,
Bill,
What do you think ?
It's not going to happen on its own, come on,
We will be home soon,
Come in,
Bill,
I only want good news,
We achieved the goal,
Just below the German machine gun,
Congratulations,
Cover the denotation with a mortar attack,
- The HQ will give the instructions, - Good,
Can we reconfirm
the coordinates? We'll only have one chance,
Of course, I send someone,
Good,
Baker, Marshall,
I have a mission for you, No man's land tonight,
Slowly,
Are you going to shut it up?
How many times have I done this?
Woodsy, can you smell anything?
It stinks of sewers,
I'm sick of their behavior, I do not understand,
Put yourself in their shoes,
They don't know us,
Do you know the story of Private King?
No thanks,
Little bastard,,,
- Private King,,, - Stop it,
Private King is a 19 year old boy,
He has just arrived at the front,
The troops move between two trenches,
They have been walking for hours,
Suddenly, King wants to go shit,
He can do more,
He asks his superior, who accepts,
He told himself he would catch up with them,
He walks away, does his own thing,
Night falls on the forest,
He's looking for his troop,
But he is in the wrong direction,
The next morning,
the soldiers stop him,
- For desertion? - Yes,
He claims his innocence,
"I was gone shit, ask my boss,"
But the problem is, his boss is dead,
A sniper shot him an hour before,
No one can confirm their version,
the court martial finds him guilty,
We blindfold him and we execute him,
Falls anonymous, and it's over,
You disappear and you look like a coward,
No, you might as well let the Boches do the job,
We call you a hero and you have a medal,
Hey,
If the soldiers hate us, I don't mind,
On the one hand, they risk being shot,
And on the other,
bastards execute a kid because he was gone to shit,
How many medals will we have?
We don't give it to guys like us,
We give it to ass-lickers, to guys like that,
You are laughing at me ?
It's like in the country,
The little ones do the work,
the officers reap the laurels when all is well,
What if it goes wrong?
It works both ways, You're spoiling yourself,
It's life,
If you do your best, you will do no better,
You are a poet,
Are the coordinates correct?
Hellfire sent two guys to no man's land,
It's confirmed,
Good job,
The mortar attack will be from 7:20 a,m, to 7:30 a,m,
- You will have plenty of time, - Yes,
Excellent, Do you know what you are going to accomplish?
We'll see when it's done,
Very good,
Go for it,
- What is that noise ? - Do you live in a cave?
The poor man has been sent to locate a machine gun post,
- He's been stuck for two days, - They haven't come back?
Only one returned,
Gentlemen,
Where's Bill?
What are you doing ?
In your opinion ?
Don't be silly,
Stockford, you're replacing him,
- Come on, - Yes sir,
If you go there, you're a dead man, you understand?
This is madness,
Hold on !
Help me,
- Please, - It's going to be fine, man,
I'll get you out of here,
It will be fine,
Its good,
You should get your sanity checked,
It's for the chefs,
Well done !
Following this morning's mission,
HQ decided it was necessary
that tunneling be extended,
We will continue on the Messines ridge,
As expected,
Excellent news,
That's it,
You asked me ?
Yes, Hawkin, just a second,
Good,
Carry on, Jack,
Hawkin,
Are we going to dig under the Messines ridge?
Yes, but it doesn't concern you anymore,
But it is 300 m,
Thanks to you, we know how to do it, Teams have been formed,
What is their experience?
Sending incompetent men is irresponsible,
Irresponsible, really?
Like your getaway this morning?
Saving a man's life is a soldier's mission,
A soldier obeys orders,
He's not going to be heroes in no man's land,
The little one was there because of us,
He was checking our coordinates,
Men die every day by obeying orders,
It's not pretty, but it's necessary,
They fight and fall for each other,
not for a pat on the back or a medal,
It's good that you are leaving,
You have done your part,
It's time to go home,
I will make a good report on you,
We watched the tunnels,
We heard it was itchy,
Looks like the Germans are digging too,
Harry, where's your bag?
I didn't see the point in taking her,
Logistics say trains may be late,
The French take those intended for us,
Okay,,, We'll have to find something to take care of, then,
Three hours, damn,
Calm down, Charlie, it's going to happen,
I've known you for 20 years, Bill,
I read in you as in an open book,
And?
I know when you're gonna say "we're digging", "we're gonna have a beer"
or "we haven't finished the job",
We haven't finished the job,
Hellfire says it does,
- We did our part, - I know, Shorty,
But without us, they won't be able to do it,
Without a tunnel, no bomb, It means years of war
and thousands of unnecessary deaths, We could even lose,
- We don't know, - Yes, we know,
I did well not to take my bag, eh?
Where are you going, Harry?
Hellfire said there was a new team of miners,
They were shown how to dig clay,
And do you think they'll get there?
If your life
your family's life depended on it,
would you trust them?
I don't think so,
What is it ?
Bill has gone mad,
Harry returns to the front,
Are you trying to prove something to them?
At Fielding,
Fuck Fielding and fuck Haig,
I think of the men they don't care about,
Those who look like us,
I hope no one has to see such a place again,
For that, you have to finish the job,
And we are the only ones who can do it,
Shorty?
- It's not true,,, - You are not serious?
I want to go home, I just want to go home,
Come home, Charlie, we're not forcing you to do anything,
We don't force you to do anything,
What if we stay? No, I say it like that,,,
It will take 6 months to dig this tunnel,
The Germans know we're coming,
Yeah, I know, George,
No, it's stupid, We are there, we are going home,
If this damn train ends up happening,
You know what I'm gonna say,
You're kidding ?
We're not going to stay,
George, please,
You don't have to stay,
I am sure they will understand,
See you soon, Charlie,
I am not staying,
You idiots,
"Jane, my love,
"I told you that my return was imminent,
"but the war makes us break our promises,
“In truth, my return is more distant than ever,
“In recent months, time has passed slowly,
"Our tunnels are slowly approaching the German lines
"for the biggest explosion in history,
"We are the only ones who can do it,
"We're moving slowly,
"We listen to enemy tunnels all the time,
"We pray that they don't find us,
"When a soldier dies, we say
"that he was a patriot, The more the war progresses
"and the more I am surrounded by patriots,"
- So ? - I think I hear,,,
Excuse me ma'am ?
I am afraid that I am the bearer of bad news,
Your husband,,,
I can get you a chair,
Mrs, Brown?
No,
- No chair? - No,
I am not Mrs, Brown,
I am Mrs, Hawkin, Sarah Brown is at number 4,
Oh, damn, I'm sorry,
Just let me,,,
Yes, it says number 14,
I am terribly confused,
Thank you for your time, Sorry,
Marshal Haig, in his infinite wisdom,
set a date,
- June 7, It's in 3 months, - 3 months ?
But we really do not progress quickly,
- It's non-negotiable, sorry, - There are too many people,
Since the Germans have been here, we brush up against each other on a daily basis,
We spend more time avoiding them than moving forward,
Very good,
Dig deeper,
Under the layer of blue clay, the Boches will not go,
It's impossible, Here is our current position,
Messines is located here,
If we dig deeper, we'll pass there,
That's 100 m more to cover,
- We do not have time, - Staying here is suicide,
You will run into the Germans,
I refuse to lose a 9th team,
I agree,
But if we kill ourselves, there will be no one left to lose,
We can only continue hoping to be lucky,
I don't like having to rely on luck,
Take this,
In case,
Bill, if you are successful,
it could change the face of war, No more trenches,
We will walk on Berlin, It could be thanks to you,
Are you alright, Charlie?
I haven't heard from Maggie for a few weeks,
It worries me a little,
I'm sure she's okay,
She has to run the business, She takes care of it as much as Rodgers,
That must be it,
It's funny is not it ?
What?
Well, with us,
when you receive a letter, it's not very important, But here,,,
When I see the postman on Applegate Street again, I'll say hello,
Really,
- Am I getting too carried away for her? - No,
Of course not,
Because,,,
I really like,
A new day in the sun, gentlemen?
Take the stuff,
Run away !
I have to admit you were right,
Would you put it in writing for me? How much should we get off?
To pass below them, 30 meters,
- But we'll have other problems, - Which ?
The composition of the soil will change, We'll be below sea level,
There will be a lot of unpredictable things,
Landslides, Loss of oxygen, We will need canaries
to locate gas pockets,
Can you meet the deadlines?
I dunno,
We are the only ones who can do it, We work day and night,
It would take more,
Focus on a single tunnel,
Work more, You must succeed,
so sleep less,
Standing, You are too ugly to play Sleeping Beauty,
Damn, we just closed our eyes,
We have a job to do,
I hadn't asked to come back here,
Listen, Bill,
they have worked hard and need to rest, You too,
We'll rest when we're done,
In a few weeks,
No, look at them, Looked !
They barely stand up, You wouldn't normally do that,
We're not in normal times,
As Hellfire said,
if we accomplish our mission, the war is over,
Come on,
We'll meet up there in 5 minutes,
More than a bag, we're almost there,
Did you smell something?
I heard a crackle,
It's okay ?
George, no!
Stretcher bearers!
Asshole!
You're going to get us killed, I told you!
Let go of me, Let go of me,
They are going to shoot you,
This is what happens when you leave sewers behind
playing soldiers,
They are just exhausted,
We're all exhausted,
Insubordination is insubordination,
Don't even try to justify yourself,
I have no time to waste, Jack,
So you and your deep trolls,
I apologize for wasting my time,
This troll is called Stockford,
And with all due respect,
you can stick your stick in your little ass,
Let go of me !
Sergeant!
Take that man and that one
and lead them to the picket line,
For insubordination,
Good, You,
get up, come on,
Go over there, You, turn around there,
Stand next to him,
In quick time, Forward, march!
One, two, one, two,,,
Left, right, left, right,,,
Soldiers, halt!
Hawkin, against that door, in front of me,
Stockford, against that door, in front of me,
Soldier, tie him up,
Yes, sergeant,
Hold out your hands to me,
- Tighten up, kid, - Yes, sergeant,
- Ready ? - Yes, sergeant,
Survey,
- Back up, - Good, sergeant,
Soldiers, turn around,
Forward, walk, Left, right,,, We'll be back tomorrow morning,
That arrogant asshole with his stick,,,
Is it his respect that we want to get?
Won't you stop?
No, I'm serious,
When I take risks underground, I want to know why,
We don't work for him, but for Hellfire,
I don't work for him,
I don't trust him,
I work for you, I trusted you,
I never lied to you,
You lie to yourself,
The great victory that you hope for, it will not take place,
This war will drag on no matter what,
But you do it because when you are questioned in the country
you can keep your head up,
It's bullshit,
Really ? Really ?
I've lived long enough to know that the only one able to judge you
he's the one wearing your boots, Bill,
I'm just saying that,,,
those who know you know what it costs you,
I'm talking about Peter and Jane,
And from me,
Sometimes,
When you're not a stubborn asshole,
Damn it,,,
It hurts, eh, Hawkin?
Yes sir,
The military does not tolerate insubordination,
Whatever the reasons,
But I admire those who fight for their ideas,
those who do not abandon a dying person on the battlefield,
If you tell that to anyone,
I will gut you with my hands,
And you'll be doing toilets for a month,
Yes, sergeant,
Hellfire told you what?
You'll find out soon enough,
- Does it work against the Germans? - Surely not,
We're running out of sausages,
Thanks, sergeant,
That's it,
Good, gentlemen,,,
a little rest before the final offensive,
We don't have time for a vacation in Bognor,
we will be satisfied with that,
We are more football,
Hold,
- W,G, Grace gave it to me, - Who is that ?
The greatest cricketer,
- So it's good ? - Yes it's good,
You at the counter,
We do not smoke on the ground,
Okay, stay here and catch up with her, Hawkin, get to the bottom,
George, in the middle,
- Who wants to bowler? - What?
Who wants to launch?
- Mail for MacDonald, - Which ?
- C, - It was time for her to write to me,
Come on, George, at bat,
Hold it on the right side,
Come on, hit her,
Tighten your legs, George, Feet together,
That's it, throw him, Eliminate him, come on!
Good game,
- It was a quick game, - Charlie?
Charlie!
Hey, Charlie!
Charlie, no!
- Get away, - What are you doing ? Come down!
- My God ! - No !
Charlie!
No, no, Charlie!
No, Charlie!
My God,,,
"My dear Jane,
"I write these words to you, with a heavy heart,
“Last night Charlie ended his life,
"Harold warned me that the men were at their end,
"but I didn't see it, I should have noticed,
"He had just received a letter from Margaret Parrish,
"Ned had come home eventually and she had ended their affair,
"It's crazy what love can make us do,
"It is more powerful than all the forces at work here,
"Could you tell his mother that he died with honor?
"Better that she learns it from you than from a stranger,
"He deserves at least that,"
Oh no,,,
I'm sorry,
“Despite this, we are still working very hard,
"George is holding up better than expected, We're almost on target,
“But on the one hand, I don't know if I really want this to end,
"Because if I did, I wouldn't know who I am anymore,
"Part of me is crying out for blood and terror,
"because I know I can prove my worth by ending it,
"Without it, I'm just a man with a cap on his head,
"But I know my greatest achievement is with you,
"in the life we ​​have built,
"Maybe you were right,
"I'm just a poor fool,
"I send all my love to you and Peter,
"I am yours forever, William,"
I couldn't do an oxygen test,
We're gonna have to go like this,
It's okay, I have everything planned,
What's this ?
The army no longer had a canary, I had to improvise,
Say hello to Fielding Junior,
- He looks dead, - He's not dead,
He is drunk, I gave him rum,
As long as we see him breathing, it's good,
Fielding takes away our minors and we replace them
by drunk rats? It seems fair,
If you're done debating the local wildlife,,,
Rest,
I'm very proud,
Very proud of each of you,
Your conviction,
Your courage in the face of adversity,
You have lived most of your life underground, ignored,
But, tonight,
in few hours,
thousands of our men will be slaughtered unless you succeed,
It is not a question of being seen well by the hierarchy,
but to do something for our men,
Gentlemen,
Tonight,
we may not go down in history,
but we will surely change the geography,
George,
Shorty,
Harold,
- It was an honor, - Thank you sir,
I was wrong about you, Bill,
You are a real soldier,
It's time,
Listen, They are very close,
It's Harold,
Shorty, you need to calm down,
Okay,
We need more bags,
Wait, wait, wait,,,
It's all in your head, Shorty, get over it,
Wait a second,
The way is clear,
George!
Come on, get up,
If we find a German tunnel, we have to blow it up,
What if their gallery passes by the bedroom? I have to check,
Bill?
Bring your ass over here,
It goes slightly west,
The bedroom should remain intact,
So let's blow it up,
- Bill! - Shit !
George!
Let me go !
- But fucking shit! The tunnel ! - It's over, Bill,
Everything collapsed,
The room is intact, you have to go back,
No, it would take us hours, It's over, forget it,
The whole gallery, collapsed,
The German tunnel,
Part of their tunnel ran along ours,
No, no, the room collapsed!
We find the point of convergence, we pierce and we go to the bedroom,
We will receive a hail of bullets,
Their order will be to destroy it and dig a new one,
- They'll think we'll do the same, - No !
It's a suicide mission, Go alone,
We cannot delay the assault,
At 6:30 a,m,, our guys will be headed for certain death,
Unless we go all the way,
No,
Harry,,,
When you said I wasn't here to prove myself
you were right,
When you called me a stubborn asshole, you were right,
We are all as good as a general,
I should have seen it sooner,
Sorry,
But here, the choice is simple,
We can stay and do nothing, give up,
For fear of failing,
Or we can go back and do what we came for,
Not to be heroes,
but because it is the only thing to do,
Let's go get the stuff, then,
George, you stay here,
I shouldn't have forced this on you,
It will be fine,
Was it okay during the fight?
Sorry,
I couldn't,,, It will happen again,
We will do it together,
Let's go,
Well, there are some who are having fun,
George,,,
Go back to the junction and keep watch,
If it moves, let us know,
Bring the material,
We have 15 minutes for connections
and 10 to get the hell out,
Bill,
- Where ? - I dunno, Several places,
- Depth? - Above us, I think,
We follow the plan,
I warn George,
Forget it, we have too much work,
We don't have a lot of time,
It will collapse,
No, it will hold,
Come on, unroll the cable,
I have a few connections to make,
Do you come to see how you win a war like a gentleman, Jack?
As a gentleman, you say?
So ?
Make sure the explosive is properly initiated, He must fart at 6:30 a,m,
It's understood ?
It must explode, no matter what,
Go ahead,
Bill, we'll meet up there,
What are you doing ?
A German saw me, I had to kill him,
I will go to hell,
The world is about to come crashing down on us,
You have to get out, Now,
And you ?
- I have to finish the connections, - No, Bill,
Bill,,,
Take this, He's a soldier from Peter,
Now listen to me carefully,
You won't go to hell,
You protected us,
I should have protected you, I'm sorry,
But here we are,
If the war drags on, before you know it,
Peter will be Charlie's age,
And that I refuse,
It all has to make sense,
Let some light come out of those damn tunnels, okay?
Come on, Bill,,,
Soldiers,,,
Bayonet barrel,
God damn it,,,
He will have succeeded,
No !
Come on,
Its good,
What if Bill's still there?
He gave us an order,
The Lord is your shadow on your right hand,
George?
I thought you ran away,
What about Bill?
He stayed,
We're taking you to see the doctor,
Well,,,
Come on guys,
Let's go,
This morning, at 6,30 a,m,, an explosion of unprecedented intensity
perforated the German lines at Messines,
allowing Allied troops to take enemy trenches,
The explosion, so powerful it was felt in Downing Street,
has been triggered
from a dug underground chamber,,,
I received the telegram, you shouldn't come,
Can I enter, despite everything?
We have ready-made formulas in this kind of situation,
Words like "hero",
"Sacrifice",
"Patriot",
- But I won't bother you with that, - I already know who he was,
I didn't need a war to see it,
A medal is nothing more than a beautiful ornament,
And a letter from the king,,, Cover your ears,
No better than the shit written in it,
I don't think I met
as stubborn as your husband, Mrs, Hawkin,
But I never respected anyone more than him either,
I was about to forget,
This little guy followed your father everywhere,
Thanks to him,
he thought he could accomplish great things, And he did,
He did it,
He saved thousands of lives,
Because he was yours,
And now,
it returns to its owner,
To fart,
