4 Blake.

Blake!

Sorry, Sergeant.

Pick a man bring your gear.

Yes, Sergeant.

Don't be late.

No, Sergeant.

Did they give us any food?

No.

Just the mail.

my baby will be born.

Did you get anything?

No.

I am bloody starving aren't you?

I thought we'd have a decent meal here.

That's the only reason I didn't prefer priesthood.

What do you have there?

Dry bread.

Where did you find it?

I have my skills.

Here you go.

It tastes like shit.

Be happy.

Next week at this time you will eat chicken.

Not me.

They canceled my submission.

Did they say why?

I have no idea.

It's easier to not go back at all.

Something's happening.

Have you heard anything?

No.

They must be Germans, right?

On 10 shillings that we attack.

I don't bet.

Why? You know I'm right?

No, because you don't have 10 shillings.

You're here on time, gentlemen.

Is there any news, Sergeant?

About what?

The big attack

It was done weeks ago.

They said we'd be home for Christmas.

Yes. well, Sorry to interrupt your schedule, Blake.

But the Prussians don't like it here.

I would have eaten some turkeys.

I will pass on your dissatisfaction to the commander.

What's the emergency, Sergeant?

The Germans are doing something.

Do you have any idea what?

No, but it will ruin our weekend.

Now listen...

Erinmore's inside.

So get ready.

You never know.

Maybe he'll send you as a messenger.

Unless you ruin it.

I think it's important if the general is here.

Corporal Blake and Schofield, sir.

Which of you is Blake?

Me, sir.

You have a lieutenant brother in the Second Devons.

- Yes, sir. Joseph Blake. He's... - Alive.

As far as I know.

And with your help I want to keep him that way.

The sergeant told me you are good at maps, true?

Good enough, sir.

so...

We are here.

Second Devons are advancing here.

How long will it take you to get there?

I don't understand, sir.

- Sir, that land is occupied by the Germans. - The Germans are gone.

Be confident.

It seems like a strategic retreat.

It looks like they created a line back 9 km.

Colonel MacKenzie is on command of the Second.

He sent word yesterday morning that he goes after the retreating Germans.

He's convinced they're running.

That if he can break the lines now he can turn this in our favor.

He is wrong.

Colonel Mackenzie has not seen aerial photographs of the enemy's new line

Come around here, gentlemen.

3 miles deep fortifications, defenses. I haven't seen anything like this before.

The Second Division must attack them tomorrow morning.

They have no idea what awaits them.

We can't warn them. The enemy cut all our phone lines for goodbye gifts.

You have orders to reach the Second Division

at the Croisilles Forest about 1 km S-E of Écoust.

Give this to Colonel MacKenzie.

It's a direct order to cancel the attack tomorrow morning.

If you fail, it will be a massacre.

We will lose two battalions.

1600 men including your brother.

Do you think you can get there in time?

Yes, sir.

- Do you have any questions? - No, sir.

You can take them, Lieutenant.

Take your supplies, gentlemen.

Map, torches, grenades.

and some snacks.

Leave immediately. Take it through the trenches to the west.

on Sauchiehall Street from there to Paradise Road to the north-west.

Continue on the front line until you reach Yorks Regiment.

Give this to Major Stevenson. He is in the neutral zone.

You'll cross there.

It'il be the daylight, sir. They'il see us.

No need to worry. You will not encounter resistance.

Sir, are we just the two?

"From the bottom of hell to heaven in the sky, only the fastest way to go."

- Wouldn't you say so, Lieutenant? - Yes, sir.

Good luck.

Blake...

- Let's talk a little. - Why?

Blake!

- We have to reflect. - We don't have what, he's my big brother.

- Let's wait until it gets dark. - Erinmore told us to leave immediately.

Erinmore has never seen "neutral zone."

We will not succeed.

- If I waited... - You heard what he said.

He said the Germans were gone.

That's why he gave us grenades?

Sorry.

- I'm just saying.. wait. - Yes, he's not your brother.

Look, the last time they told me the Germans were gone, it didn't end well.

You don't know, Blake, you weren't there.

Excusei me.

What are you doing in the trenches, you idiot?

I have order from the general, sir.

Okay, let's say the Germans are gone.

- 15 km how long does it take us, 6 hours? - At least 8.

So we have time to wait until the sun sets.

- We have no idea what we're going to give. - Blake, if we're not smart

- We will not reach your brother. - I will.

We reached the front line.

Now we have to give up Yorks.

Where the hell do you think you're going?

- Let me go! - It's crazy!

I apologize. Let me go.

We have orders from the general.

Let us pass.

Okay, but be careful where you go.

It's damn quiet.

Was that the way it was before?

I do not remember.

-You don't remember the Battle of Somme?

Not really.

You did a good job.

At least you got your medal.

I do not have it anymore.

What?

You lost your medal?

Take that, guys.

Stay low.

For God sake, carefully.

You stepped on the dead. He was our sergeant.

Why do you think I dig this bloody hole?

Do you know where Yorks are?

We stand above them. They were shot two nights ago.

- Yorks? - Yes, Corporal.

- Where's Major Stevenson? - He was killed several nights ago.

- Lieutenant Leslie is in command. - Where can we find him?

In the next cover.

Here.

Sir?

Lieutenant Leslie?

- What is it? - We got a message from General Erinmore.

Are you the backup?

- No, sir. - Then where the hell are they?

- We don't know, sir. - We received an order to go here.

- That's the German front. - We know, sir.

Please take the letter.

Let's conclude our claim. What day is today?

Friday.

Friday? We all got it wrong. This idiot said "Tuesday".

Sorry, sir

No fucking way

One quiet night has passed because the commanders think the Germans go home.

Do you think they're wrong, sir?

I lost an officer and 3 soldiers two nights ago.

They were shot when they crossed the barbed wire. I dragged them back here.

They did bother me.

Sir, photos show that the enemy has retreated.

There are aerial photos of the new line... Shut up!

We fought and died every inch of this place.

Now they give us miles? It's a trap.

But don't let yourself go. It has a medal on the end.

A piece of metal can brighten your widow.

Ok.

What is the closest path through, sir?

All the barbed wire is spinning, but there is a kind of rupture.

Roswood, let them look.

Right ahead and to the left over the marsh there is a crack just behind them.

Useful if you get stuck with the bayonet. When you reach the second barbed wire

It's a small hole

right after him.

The German line is 150 meters after that.

Watch out for craters. They are deeper than the hair.

If you fall into them you have no way out.

Come on in here.

Wake up Kilgour. Take up space for nothing. - Is there a hole?

- Is there a solution to skipping? - No.

The southern trench was blown up. It's full of dead bodies.

You better take it here.

If you get shot, come to the wire. We come after you only when it gets dark.

If by a miracle you succeed

- launch a signaling rocket. - We don't have that, sir.

- Bring them one, Kilgour, make yourself useful. - Yes, sir.

In this holy water

may the Lord forgive your sins.

I don't like losing these flares to Germans.

So when they start shooting at you are you kind of throwing them back?

that's it

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Age before beauty.

Are you good?

Looking for cover.

Southern Trench.

Stay still.

They left.

Keep going. We're fine.

It's a hole in the barbed wire.

Let's go.

That's the front line.

Let me get my dick!

They even left.

Is your head okay?

He went through everything.

Bandage yourself.

You will work immediately.

Hand...

They haven't left long.

No one.

Maybe there's a way around here.

Jesus.

Take a look.

It's huge.

They built all this.

Here's our way out.

Schof! What do you say about this?

Damn it!

Until their rats started coming out.

What do you think is in the bags?

You can't be so hungry.

Look damn miserable.

You can eat this stuff.

What is it?

Canned for dogs.

What's in the other crates?

What is it?

Explosive trigger wire.

Don't move.

Where is it?

It goes from here to the door.

Jesus.

Not!

Scho!

Schof?

Schof!

Scho!

Scho!

Scho? Wake up!

Scho! Scho!

Get up! Come on.

Come on!

Let it all fall apart!

Hold on to me!

Keep going!

I can not see.

Stay tuned! It's a hole today.

We have to jump.

You have to jump! Jump up!

- I can not! I can not see. - Trust me. Jump up!

Do not leave me.

Around here!

Even when I started.

You fuck nemþi!

Carefully! They may have left other traps.

Jesus!

Dust.

I have so much dust in my eyes.

Here you go. Get mine.

I wish I had shot that rat.

You had to pick another idiot.

- What the? - Why the hell did you choose me?

- I didn't know why I chose you. - No.

You didn't know. You never know.

That's your problem.

Okay, then come back.

Nothing stops you. You can go back home if you want.

Say nothing more.

I didn't know why I chose you.

I thought I was going behind the line.

I thought it would be easy.

Good?

I didn't know it would be that way.

So you wanna go back?

Shoot my signal rocket.

Fuck you, lieutenant.

Do you know where we are?

Écoust is directly towards S-E.

If we keep this direction

we should get there.

Let's go.

Take a look.

They destroyed their own weapons.

And their own trenches.

Meaning?

I think they wanted to take us there.

They wanted to bury us.

You fucking rats.

Yes.

Did you hear that story about Wilcott?

How did he lose his ear?

I don't feel like something right now.

Pay attention to the trees

from the ridge.

Did they tell you it was a shrapnel?

What was it then?

Well...

You know his girlfriend is a hairdresser.

And he complained about the lack of hygiene.

Do you remember Harris's jokes?

I pray.

And the babe sends her hair oil.

It smells nice.

It's like a golden syrup.

Wilcott likes the smell.

He doesn't want to give it to others.

So...

She's all over her head

And he falls asleep.

And in the middle of the night

he wakes up

And a rat was lying on his shoulder.

He licked the oil off his head.

Wilcott is panicking

And jump out of bed.

And when he does, the rat bites it directly by the ear.

What he has done before.

Scream, the scream.

It was a tough phase

that he poured so much oil that he was no longer washing it.

It was like a magnet.

The rats were no longer tired of licking him.

Damn the hell.

Heading home?

I wonder what they saw.

The ridge line.

If they die at least they deserve.

Meaning?

"Corporal Blake showed courage in rescuing a comrade from death."

Bla, bla, bla.

You say?

Yes.

That would be cool.

That you lost yours anyway.

I didn't miss it.

What happened to her?

What do you care about?

And why don't you care?

I changed it with that of a French captain.

Have you changed it?

- On what? - On a bottle of wine.

- Why the hell did you do that? - I was thirsty.

What a waste.

You should have taken it home and given it to your family.

People died for her.

If I take the medal I take it home. Why didn't you take her home?

It's just a fucking tin.

Don't make it more special. It doesn't make a difference.

Yes.

And it's not just a bitch.

It has a ribbon.

I hated to go home.

I hated this.

When I knew I couldn't stay.

When I knew I had to leave and that I might not see me anymore...

Jesus.

They all cut them off.

Cherry.

Înfloriþi.

They turned out to be...

Hard to say when they are the only fruits.

What's the difference?

People think it's just a way.

But there are several ways.

Green, sweet, sour...

How the hell do you know that?

My mother has an orchard at home.

With a few trees.

During this time of year it looks like snow.

Flowers everywhere.

And in May we must reap the fruits.

Me and Jo.

It takes us a whole day.

So these were artillerymen.

I don't know.

He gave them...

And there are more trees than before.

He looks abandoned.

Let's hope it is.

We have to be sure that it is.

I take it in front and you in the back.

- Anything? - Nothing.

- Did you find any food? - No.

I don't like this place.

The map says

that after we cross that bridge

we reach Écoust.

Good.

- And are our allies? - It seems so.

It's an air fight.

- Who wins? - I think we do.

There are two to one.

They shot him down.

- Let's spare him the pain. - No, bring some water.

Stay!

No no!

God, no!

Lord.

God, no!

We have to stop the bleeding.

Turns out!

- You'll get up. - Yes Yes...

I can not.

- I have to take you to... - I can't.

- It's not far. - Look here.

I can't, we have to go together.

I'll pick you up.

Stop it! Not!

Please! Put me down!

You have to try to move.

- Just let me stay that way. - No, we have to find Second.

Your brother, we have to leave now.

You can leave without me and you will arrive.

You can't stay here.

We have to move, okay?

We have to move. Come on.

Come on. So.

Come on.

We need to find your brother.

You will recognize him.

Looks like me...

And he's a little older.

What day is today?

- Who was shot? - The barn caught fire.

I was shot. What was?

You were stabbed.

I am dying?

Yes I think so.

- That... - Inside.

Will you write to my mother for me?

Yes.

Tell her I wasn't scared.

We'll think of something.

I love them.

I will always love them.

I always did.

Say something.

I always did.

Say something.

Tell me you know the way.

I know the way.

I take it towards S-E until I reach Écoust.

They pass through the city and then east to Croissy.

It will be dark by then.

That won't bother me.

I'll find the Second Division.

I'll give them the message

And then I'll find your brother.

Just like you.

Just a little older.

Are you all right?

It's fine.

Let's help him.

Jesus, what happened to him?

We pass Écoust and we take you on a road trip.

Was he on the plane? I saw the smoke.

Yes.

Bring his things.

Yes, sir.

A friend?

What are you doing here?

I have a message to Second Devons.

Order to stop the attack tomorrow morning.

Where are the cantons?

Come with me.

Come with me, Corporal, it's an order.

Near Écoust.

Yes, sir.

It won't be any more difficult now.

Let me make it easy for you.

You didn't come to miss the fight.

Left with him.

Damn ticãloºi.

Sir.

You're not one of mine.

No, sir. Has an urgent message to Second Devons.

- Can we get by? - No, sir.

God, move the tree!

He'll get in the truck, sir.

- He's got orders. - Yeah, okay, okay.

Let's go now.

How did you get here, sir?

Through "nobody's country".

Immediately outside the city of Bapaume.

There is little life.

I came across some chopsticks coming here.

Are you moving to a new life?

Try.

They have advanced and are waiting for reinforcements.

I'm sorry about your friend.

I'll tell you something you probably already know.

It doesn't help to mess around.

No, sir.

Get on.

Make room for it.

Let's.

On the road again...

Welcome aboard to hell knows.

- Do you have a light? - Yes, here we are.

- Brother... - Yes.

- Tell me a story. - Yes.

When we got off the train

Bofoy comes to us and tells us.

"Corporals, whatever they do, a soldier never neglects the latrine."

Then Scott gets off the train and wipes Bofoy's tunic.

Shit, on his back.

- I imitate Captain Bofoy. - Shut up, you don't understand.

"Your rifle is a shame to the whole expedition."

It was awful.

You have no idea. Only if you speak our language.

- Imitate him better than you, Cooke. - Then let's hear you, Jondalar.

"I have never seen such a latrine in 200 years as a soldier."

That's a pity.

He should get permission for this.

Do you have to get somewhere?

- It's not possible. - We'll crack this one.

- Reverse. - Yes.

Try in reverse.

Give back.

Stop the engine! Everyone down!

Down with everyone!

- Come on! - OK.

One two Three.

- Let's put wood under the wheels. - No, we don't have time.

We all need to push.

Let's!

Push!

Please. I have to go now.

Please.

Come on guys.

Let's.

One two Three.

Let's go again. One two Three.

Get back in the truck.

Are you good?

Well, driver, see how you go!

Where are you going?

I need to get to the Second Devons, right after Écoust.

Why?

He is attacking at dawn.

I was ordered to stop them.

How is that?

Get in a trap.

How many?

1600.

Why did they just send one?

They didn't just send one.

I was two.

And you just left?

Yes.

You won't be able to get there.

Yes, I will.

Thanks.

Take a look.

Watch.

Three years lost here.

We were supposed to let the bastards keep it.

Shoot the cows?

Fun with extra bullets.

Ticãloºii.

Deºtepþi. I know if he doesn't shoot the cow

they will eat it.

Still bastards.

Yes, it's not even our country.

How long will we follow them?

Why? Do you think we'll catch up with him?

- Yes. Why? - It'll be a miracle, that's why.

- I'm probably around the first corner. - There are not.

Why don't we give up?

- I want to go home. - Moms are waiting for us.

The Germans are pushed out.

- They withdraw? - They are miles away.

At least 20.

There are not.

Fuck'! What's the matter now? I hope not a tree again.

- The bridge is demolished. - Too bad.

Looks like I'm going down here.

Good luck.

Think of yourself, too.

I think you'll need it.

Baftă, my friend.

I hope you get there.

Thanks.

The next bridge is 6 km away. We have to bypass.

I can't go, sir.

I have no time.

Of course.

Good luck.

Thank you, sir.

Corporal...

If you get to Colonel MacKenzie

speak to them in particular.

- I have a direct order, sir. - I know.

But some people want to fight.

Thank you, sir.

Driver...

Leave.

There's nothing here for you. Please.

Okay.

I'm not a German.

Friend.

I'm a friend.

This place

it's the city

Écoust?

- And Écoust? - Yes.

Where are the others?

Others?

It's just me.

Only me.

I have to get somewhere.

I have to find a forest at S-E.

Trees.

The trees.

Shore?

Croissy?

Yes.

The river...

The river.

River.

Trees... Croissy.

Take a seat.

Sit down, sir.

Thanks.

My little one.

- A little girl. - Yes.

A little girl.

What is her name?

I don't know.

Who is her mother?

I don't know.

I have food.

Look.

I have these.

You can take them all.

For you and the baby.

She can't eat something like that.

He needs milk.

Milk?

Thanks.

Bonjour.

Bonjour.

Do you have children?

Children? You?

It's fine.

You like.

Continue.

Keep talking.

They went to see it as if

And as if they went to see

Despite what their friends said

On a stormy winter morning

Like when they went to see

Far and few, far and few

They are the high hills

Their heads are green and their hands blue

And they went to see it as if

It's morning.

The soldiers will see you.

It will light up soon.

You should wait longer.

Stay.

Stay.

- Please. - I have to go.

- Please. - Sorry.

Are you all right, dude?

Where are you from?

It's not one of ours.

I d.

Let's pick it up and take it with us.

I need to find the Devons.

What is he saying?

Devons.

I need to find the Devons.

We are Devons.

- Are you Devons? - Yes, Corporal.

Why didn't you attack?

We are the second wave.

They didn't send us all once.

We are company D.

I spent the night in the woods.

We go last.

Are you good?

MacKenzie.

- Where's Colonel MacKenzie? - It's on the line.

- Where? - Around here. There we go.

Slowly, where are you going?

Make room.

Let me go.

Sit back and wait for orders.

- Where's the superior? - He's on the cover.

Listen to me well.

- Company A followed by B... - Sir...

- I have a message from General Erinmore. - Who the hell are you?

General Erinmore canceled the attack.

We're about to run.

Don't. Please do not send your people.

- Get out of the way! - I have direct order.

- Where's Colonel MacKenzie? - Christ, go and see the captain.

I want to fast. Do you understand me?

Yes, sir.

At the first whistle.

- Where's the captain? - Is there.

Sir!

I have a message, Captain. The attack was canceled.

You have to stop.

Where's Colonel MacKenzie?

- I have an order to stop this attack! - What the?

Where's Colonel MacKenzie?

- How far? - 300 meters. It's on the cover.

You have to wait until the first wave passes.

No, I can't wait.

It's impossible to get her out there, are you crazy?

What the hell are you doing, Corporal?

No no no!

- Colonel MacKenzie? - He's inside.

Let me go. I need to talk to Colonel MacKenzie.

I have to stop this attack.

- We can get to the German line. - No no!

Listen to me! I have a letter. I need to talk to MacKenzie.

- You can't get in there. - Sergeant, the next wave is ringing.

Not!

Colonel MacKenzie!

This attack must end. You were ordered to stop.

- Who the hell are you? - Corporal Schofield, sir.

I received an order from General Erinmore to stop the attack.

- You're late, Corporal. - Sir, it's order from the army chief.

- You have to read the letter. - Let's postpone the second wave?

No, we are 500 meters from the victory.

- Sir, please read the letter. - I've heard this board before.

I don't wait until the fog comes.

I'm not calling people back to send them tomorrow again.

- Not when I ran. - The Germans planned this.

They've been planning this for good months.

They want us to attack.

Read the letter.

- Major? - Yes, sir.

Stop the attack.

- Yes, sir. - Announce the order.

- Keep the line. - Yes, sir.

Stop the attack!

Stop the attack!

I heard that today would be a good day.

Hope is a dangerous thing.

That's the moment now. There will be another message next week.

Attack at dawn.

There's only one way to end this war.

Until the last man standing.

I'm going to get someone to kick you.

Now you're gone in my dick, Corporal!

Well done, boy.

Thank you, sir.

Do you know where Lieutenant Blake is?

Blake?

I was two.

I was sent here with his brother.

Lieutenant Blake went along with his men.

It was the first wave.

How can I give him, sir?

It may be behind the front line, when injured.

If you can't find it there...

Thank you, sir.

- Sergeant, do you know where Blake is? - No.

- Sir, is Lt Blake here? - No.

Go on, Corporal.

If you can go, go to the carrier.

Lieutenant Blake!

Blake!

Has anyone seen Lt. Blake?

Come on guys, take it. He lost a lot of blood.

- Lieutenant Blake? - Yes.

Do you need medical care?

No, sir.

I'm from the eighth division.

And what the hell are you doing here?

- I was sent to deliver a message. - Eighth?

Do you know my brother?

I was sent here with him.

And where is he?

It was something very fast.

Sorry.

What's your name?

Schofield, sir.

- Here you go? - Schofield, sir.

William Schofield.

Will.

You need food. Go to the booth.

If you can afford it...

I would like to write to your mother.

Let me tell you, Tom wasn't alone.

Of course.

He was...

He was a good man.

He was always telling funny stories.

He saved my life.

I'm glad you were with him.

Thanks, Will.
