My Captain!

Orders from headquarters, sir

The orders...

Are to attack the bridge.

We can expect heavy casualties.

No-one will reach that bridge alive.

Find your nerve, men.

We risk our lives

but we can take back our home!

For centuries, poets have dreamt of dying for love.

I suppose we shall be the lucky ones.

The orders are to wait three hours for the wind to turn east

then fire every gas canister we have.

There is an alternative, captain.

What is it, poirot?

We attack right now.

Now?

Yes.

Within the next seven minutes.

Perhaps eight.

Every morning

the petrels take flight

just before the wind turns east.

You see?

This morning

they fly early.

The wind conditions are ideal now

to hide our advance.

Hidden by the gas

we will cross 200 metres of no man's land without being seen.

Before the enemy even knows

that we attack!

If you're wrong, the wind will blow the gas back on the rest of our army.

We gas ourselves as they kill us, that's what you want?

I am not wrong.

It's an ambush.

I can't see them.

Retreat!

You were right!

You are too sharp to be a farmer, poirot.

No! Captain!
