01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:07,440
in the next hour,

1232
01:09:07,480 --> 01:09:09,080
and then I want you back
at that telegraph office

1233
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:11,880
with my report in hand
by midday.

1234
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:15,240
I'll be damned if I'm letting
Bartlett steal this one.

1235
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:19,080
I don't think you have to worry
about Mr Bartlett filing, sir.

1236
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:20,680
No? Why's that?

1237
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:23,920
Mr Bartlett was on the 'Majestic'.

1238
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:34,880
(GUNSHOTS, EXPLOSIONS)

1239
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:36,920
(SCREAMING)

1240
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:39,480
Can we have a doctor, please?
Excuse me.

1241
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:44,440
This man needs pain relief.
Were you prepared for this?

1242
01:09:44,480 --> 01:09:49,920
For what, Mr Schuler?
To be so ill-equipped.

1243
01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:52,200
We were ill-equipped
when we docked.

1244
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:54,320
The numbers
could have been halved

1245
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:56,680
and we'd still be wrapping men
in used bandages

1246
01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:58,680
and having them sleep on the floor.

1247
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:04,400
They didn't think that
there'd be this many casualties?

1248
01:10:04,440 --> 01:10:06,960
I guess they didn't.
Do you, ah...?

1249
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:10,280
Look, why are you asking me
all these questions, Mr Schuler?

1250
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:15,560
You see what goes on,
and I value your opinion.

1251
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:18,440
So, do you blame our government...?

1252
01:10:18,480 --> 01:10:21,120
I don't have time to blame anyone.

1253
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:25,600
Blame is a luxury
afforded to men like you.

1254
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:28,880
Men like me?

1255
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:32,280
Men on holiday, seeking adventure.

1256
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:35,200
You know, the rest of us,
we just get on with it.

1257
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:37,280
That's hardly fair.

1258
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:42,840
Look, I am going to the cove.
I...I have approval.
Nurse Grant?

1259
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:50,440
Just take him through, please.
(MOANING) I don't remember!

1260
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:55,440
Schuler.

1261
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:08,920
General Bridges.

1262
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,280
Bloody Turks got me
at Dead Man's Ridge.

1263
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:17,280
Think I'd take more care at a place
with a name like that, wouldn't you?

1264
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:20,200
What did the doctors say?

1265
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:24,400
It's gangrene.
They want to take my leg.

1266
01:11:24,440 --> 01:11:26,040
Can you imagine that?

1267
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:28,840
A general with one leg.

1268
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:36,320
I reckon if we get to Alexandria,
you'll be fine.

1269
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:38,720
I won't make it to Alexandria, mate.

1270
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:42,800
I'll get you a nurse.

1271
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:44,800
No, forget the nurse.

1272
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:47,280
Sit down.

1273
01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:59,000
Why don't you tell me about Paris?

1274
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:16,480
(BELL RINGS)

1275
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:19,720
Evening, sir.

1276
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:21,040
Good evening, Milly.

1277
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:22,560
I'm a bit early.

1278
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:32,960
Ellis, welcome.

1279
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:37,000
Thank you, Milly.
I'll take Mr Bartlett's coat.

1280
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:38,560
Yes, ma'am.

1281
01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:51,160
Oh, Ellis, it was in the news,

1282
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:52,600
the 'Majestic' had sunk

1283
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:54,480
and we didn't know
if you'd been rescued or not.

1284
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:56,320
I mean... Oh, Ellis.

1285
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:58,720
Stop talking.

1286
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,160
Aunty, have you seen my doll?

1287
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:23,480
Um, no, I haven't.

1288
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:25,160
Have you checked your bedroom?

1289
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:26,560
I have.

1290
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:27,840
Hello, Mr Bartlett.

1291
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:29,680
What are you doing in here?

1292
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:31,160
I was just putting my coat away.

1293
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:32,560
And I was just helping him.

1294
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:35,400
Come on,
let's go look for your dolly.

1295
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:42,040
And the midshipman said,
"What was that?",

1296
01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:44,200
to which I replied,
"German hospitality."

1297
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:47,520
Then what happened?

1298
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:51,400
What inevitably happens
when a torpedo hits. We sank.

1299
01:13:51,440 --> 01:13:55,320
To you. What happened to you?
Oh, I'm afraid I did something

1300
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:57,520
one must only do
under the direst of circumstances.

1301
01:13:57,560 --> 01:13:59,880
I relied upon the French.

1302
01:13:59,920 --> 01:14:02,720
A small transport
bound for Marseilles took me ashore.

1303
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:04,760
And how is our Jack?

1304
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:06,400
Well, he's fine. Busy.

1305
01:14:06,440 --> 01:14:09,200
While I'm grateful
for my brother's wellbeing, Ellis,

1306
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:12,400
I only wish our armada
was in such a healthy state.

1307
01:14:12,440 --> 01:14:14,720
As do I, Winston.

1308
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:18,160
What chance do you give us
of reaching Constantinople?

1309
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:20,680
I remain hopeful.

1310
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:24,080
My husband remains
more than hopeful, Mr Bartlett.

1311
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:26,960
He's assured me
victory will be swift.

1312
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:31,360
I'm sure your husband knows
more than I, Lady Hamilton.

1313
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:34,400
After all, he leads the battle.
I merely write about it.

1314
01:14:34,440 --> 01:14:40,360
Mm. Times like these, solidarity
and loyalty are things that matter.

1315
01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:43,920
What passes for parlour games
in times of peace

1316
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:46,600
can be quite dangerous
in times of war.

1317
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:49,520
I'm not here for parlour games.

1318
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:52,200
Yes, why are you here?

1319
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:54,480
And don't tell me
you've come all this way

1320
01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:56,880
just to enjoy
our wonderful company.

1321
01:14:56,920 --> 01:14:58,640
Merely that.

1322
01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:00,720
And a fine cigar.

1323
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:04,240
Ladies, let's leave
our drowned sailor to his cigar.

1324
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:06,200
Indeed.

1325
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:09,280
Now, Clementine, did I tell you
the funniest thing...?

1326
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:15,880
Hamilton would prefer annihilation
than to lose face with Kitchener.

1327
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:19,760
It's as though he holds some kind of
schoolboy duty to his master.

1328
01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:22,680
Can't you speak to Kitchener?
Doubtful.

1329
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:26,400
Currently, he blames me
for this whole wretched mess.

1330
01:15:26,440 --> 01:15:30,360
Without more men, Napoleon himself
would not succeed at Gallipoli.

1331
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:34,320
(LAUGHS)
I wish someone would tell him that.

1332
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:36,720
Then arrange a meeting for me.

1333
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:41,040
I've been removed
as Lord of the Admiralty, Ellis.

1334
01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:44,280
I'm virtually destitute
and living in my brother's home.

1335
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:46,640
What makes you think
I could arrange anything?

1336
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:50,200
Because I've seen you wage wars
from Prussia to southern Africa.

1337
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:52,520
I hardly think a mere title
would stand in the way

1338
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:54,720
of the indomitable Winston Churchill.

1339
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:57,080
You have a remarkable ability

1340
01:15:57,120 --> 01:16:00,320
to insert yourself into others'
affairs, Ellis.
Oh, why, thank you.

1341
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:03,360
It wasn't a compliment.

1342
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:05,800
It should stop.

1343
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:16,880
This expedition must carry on

1344
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:19,920
if I'm to be redeemed
at Downing Street.

1345
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:24,360
The price of victory is forgotten
amongst the glamour of success.

1346
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:26,600
That's why we cannot fail.

1347
01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:28,920
I don't believe we have to.

1348
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,200
But I need you to help me.

1349
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:37,360
From the beginning.

1350
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:39,640
Tell me what you've seen and heard.

1351
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:43,600
And I want the full story,
Mr Newspaper.

1352
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:58,880
Lord Kitchener.

1353
01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:01,560
You must be Bartlett.
Yes, sir.

1354
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:04,680
I was hoping to speak with you
about the Dardanelles campaign.

1355
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:06,760
Slow going, I hear.

1356
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:09,400
Slow going gives the impression
we're moving forward, sir.

1357
01:17:09,440 --> 01:17:11,720
Churchill believes, however,

1358
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:13,520
that if we can secure enough support
in Cabinet

1359
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:16,040
for heavy reinforcements...
Reinforcements?

1360
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:18,080
You are aware
there's a war in France?

1361
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:19,520
I am, sir.

1362
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:20,640
Then you'll understand

1363
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:23,440
that more troops in the Dardanelles
is not a high priority.

1364
01:17:23,480 --> 01:17:26,600
Without more men,
we'll fail to take Gaba Tepe, sir,

1365
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:29,440
and without that,
I'm afraid we'll fail altogether.

1366
01:17:29,480 --> 01:17:31,880
Why didn't we hold on to the hills?

1367
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:35,640
Because we never had them, sir.

1368
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:39,600
Winston and I have spoken
with Prime Minister Asquith,

1369
01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:42,400
and he agrees that
if we were to attack at Enos,

1370
01:17:42,440 --> 01:17:44,200
or just north of Bulair,

1371
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:46,520
we could get a stranglehold
on the narrows.

1372
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:49,000
Churchill is no longer
head of the Admiralty, Mr Bartlett.

1373
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:51,200
His opinion means little to me.

1374
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:53,520
Ian Hamilton claims each new day
brings with it

1375
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:55,880
an improvement
in Anglo-French positions.

1376
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:58,640
I'm afraid that is an optimistic
retelling of events, sir.

1377
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:00,480
Are you saying he's lying?

1378
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:04,080
I'm saying
Sir Ian is doing his best.

1379
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:07,040
However, without reinforcements...
There's that word again.

1380
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:08,960
Can't the Dominion troops
get on a bit,

1381
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,560
seise the hills themselves?

1382
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:17,960
That would be fraught with great risk
and incredible difficulty, sir.

1383
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:21,120
We call that war, Mr Bartlett.

1384
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:34,480
My editor tells me

1385
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:37,360
Hamilton has been pressuring him
to have me remain in London,

1386
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:40,320
which only makes me more determined
to get back there.

1387
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:43,360
Of course. Here.
Thank you.

1388
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:47,360
Not only does no-one in London know
what's going on in Gallipoli,

1389
01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:49,720
no-one seems to care.
Then why should you?

1390
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:51,920
Because I've seen it.

1391
01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:56,480
I've secured a berth to Alexandria,
leaving tomorrow.

1392
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:59,920
Fortunately, the public is still
hungry for stories from the front.

1393
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:03,880
I want to see this through.

1394
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:06,200
And you need the money.

1395
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:10,840
Well...
(LAUGHS)

1396
01:19:18,440 --> 01:19:20,800
(WHISPERS) Ellis, I can't.

1397
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:24,280
The other night was a step too far.
This is my home.

1398
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:26,040
Let us go, then.
I have a room.

1399
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:29,720
I can't. Not today.

1400
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:33,080
I have a thousand things
that I need to do.

1401
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:35,200
Of course.

1402
01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:39,120
(SIGHS) I'm going to get us
some more tea.

1403
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:42,040
Shit.

1404
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:44,720
You're a paper man, aren't ya?

1405
01:20:45,480 --> 01:20:47,120
You got a pencil?

1406
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:58,080
(ALL SPEAKING)

1407
01:20:59,920 --> 01:21:01,840
No, keep it.

1408
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:03,280
(DISTANT GUNSHOT)

1409
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:07,440
Sniper! Sniper! Get off!
Get out of the bloody boat right now!

1410
01:21:07,480 --> 01:21:10,600
What are you doing?
Come on, get out the boat now!

1411
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:15,360
Come on, get off the boat!

1412
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:17,360
Get off the bloody boat!

1413
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:19,680
Come on,
we have to go right now.

1414
01:21:19,720 --> 01:21:21,760
Move it! Move it!

1415
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:32,920
(CHANTING)

1416
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:37,720
Allahu akbar.
(CHANTING CONTINUES)

1417
01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:44,520
The New Zealanders,

1418
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:47,800
after gallantly holding the trench
for eight hours,

1419
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:53,680
were driven out by a barrage -
B-A-R-R-A-G-E -

1420
01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:56,840
of bombs,

1421
01:21:56,880 --> 01:22:00,480
thus leaving the two sides
exactly where they once were.

1422
01:22:01,440 --> 01:22:03,640
Ah, excuse me, sir.

1423
01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:06,360
I found this in an enemy trench
yesterday.

1424
01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:08,160
I thought you might be interested
in it,

1425
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:10,880
seeing as you're in
the newspaper game and all.

1426
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:19,240
Does anyone have any cigarettes?

1427
01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:30,400
Which of you speaks English?

1428
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:37,680
Come here.

1429
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:43,680
Cigarettes.

1430
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:47,160
I want this translated.

1431
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:06,600
You think we are stupid, mm?

1432
01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:08,640
You think we print our plans for you,
Captain?

1433
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:10,920
I'm a journalist.

1434
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:13,800
I wish to know
how all of this is being reported.

1435
01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:18,720
Bandages, yeah? For friend.

1436
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:30,360
How will you know if I speak truth?

1437
01:23:30,400 --> 01:23:32,480
I won't.

1438
01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:41,560
"An amazing artillery begin.

1439
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:46,240
"It look beyond human.

1440
01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:50,640
"But the Turkish and German
stood strong.

1441
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:55,440
"Our men did their best
to stop cruel invasion."

1442
01:23:55,480 --> 01:23:58,280
Is that what you people call it?
An invasion?

1443
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:01,600
You have other word for it?

1444
01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:03,400
Captain Bean?

1445
01:24:03,440 --> 01:24:06,360
Orders from General Hamilton.

1446
01:24:21,480 --> 01:24:24,200
Why did you insist
on bringing everything?

1447
01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:26,800
I certainly have no intention
of staying here long.

1448
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:28,200
General Hamilton instructed...

1449
01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:29,800
General Hamilton
will understand

1450
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:31,680
that my place is on the cove,

1451
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:34,040
not swanning about
on some sort of retreat.

1452
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:36,840
Meanwhile, you've packed
half our bloody dugout.

1453
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:40,440
Captain Bean. Welcome.

1454
01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:46,120
I'm afraid your camp's
a little further on that way.

1455
01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:51,840
Go and find us a tent, would you?

1456
01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:54,040
Then come back for all of this.

1457
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:56,600
Where is General Hamilton?

1458
01:24:56,640 --> 01:25:00,440
What concern is that of yours?
I wish to know why I'm here.

1459
01:25:00,480 --> 01:25:03,480
Look, you're not the problem,
Captain Bean,

1460
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:06,040
but there's a Jeremiah
in our midst,

1461
01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:08,240
a man who cannot be trusted.

1462
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:14,120
Cheers, gentlemen.
Cheers, Bartlett.

1463
01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:18,760
Don't move so fast, Lester.
And get those forks out of my face.

1464
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:21,400
Nevinson, smile for the camera.

1465
01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:25,280
Oh, Lord.
Mr Bartlett!

1466
01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:27,760
Oh, look, it's Robinson Crusoe.

1467
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:31,240
Welcome to paradise. Champagne?
What did you do?

1468
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:34,360
Hey? Oh, Victor? I found him
at the Excelsior in Malta.

1469
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:37,200
His poached duck was so good,
I poached him.

1470
01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:39,760
I meant, to bring us here.

1471
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:41,760
Ellis chose to seek counsel
with Kitchener

1472
01:25:41,800 --> 01:25:44,440
and it seems word travels fast
across the Mediterranean.

1473
01:25:44,480 --> 01:25:47,320
Only took him a month
to land us here in exile.

1474
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:50,800
Charles Bean,
meet Compton Mackenzie, poet,

1475
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:53,520
Malcolm Ross, a New Zealander,
but don't hold that against the man.

1476
01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:55,600
And of course, Henry Nevinson,

1477
01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:58,600
long-time war correspondent
and lackey to General Hamilton.

1478
01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:01,280
Ignore him.
Ellis is merely frustrated

1479
01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:03,840
by the fact that his absence
was hardly noticed.

1480
01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:06,000
Oh, we all know that Sir Ian
would love to replace me

1481
01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:09,160
on a more permanent basis,
Henry, but, ah,

1482
01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:11,280
the better writer
was assigned to this campaign

1483
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:12,920
and I dare not let the public down.

1484
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:14,760
Now, Charles,
how about that champagne?

1485
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:17,240
Well, I hardly think champagne
is appropriate at a time of war.

1486
01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:19,160
No, no, but you see,
the true art of warfare

1487
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:21,200
is the cultivation
of domestic virtues.

1488
01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:24,520
Please, Charles,
join us.

1489
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:35,800
Come, gentlemen, I hope we shall
drink down all this unkindness.

1490
01:26:35,840 --> 01:26:37,600
Here's mud in your eye.

1491
01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:41,960
Mr Schuler, how was your first trip
to the cove, eh?

1492
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:43,960
Help yourself to a glass.

1493
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:47,560
Oh, yes. Perhaps the bottle.

1494
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:59,400
(HOARSE WHISPER) Nurse! Nurse!

1495
01:26:59,440 --> 01:27:02,280
Quiet!

1496
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:07,840
Nurse, it's Phillip Schuler.

1497
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:12,200
What is it, Mr Schuler?
I couldn't get off the boat.

1498
01:27:12,240 --> 01:27:17,880
(LAUGHS) I couldn't get
off the boat.

1499
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:21,000
I...like, I went to.
I don't know why.

1500
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:25,320
He's just lying there.
He... I met him...

1501
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:35,080
You're drunk.
Yeah, but that's not why I'm here.

1502
01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:40,560
Why are you here, Mr Schuler?

1503
01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:47,680
(LAUGHS)

1504
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:54,160
Come with me.

1505
01:28:02,480 --> 01:28:05,360
I wanted to compliment you
on your article.

1506
01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:09,200
Oh, you read it?
I did.

1507
01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:13,240
But more importantly,
the powers that be must have.

1508
01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:17,240
We received an increase in supplies.

1509
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:22,400
Take off your clothes.

1510
01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:43,880
You didn't get off that boat,
because you didn't have to.

1511
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:46,920
That's all.

1512
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:49,680
Everyone's scared, Mr Schuler.

1513
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:56,880
I find swimming calms me.

1514
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:09,840
Are you coming?

1515
01:29:18,560 --> 01:29:21,120
Attention!

1516
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:30,480
Now, you are no longer permitted
to live on the navy ships,

1517
01:29:30,520 --> 01:29:32,400
or at the cove.

1518
01:29:32,440 --> 01:29:35,240
From now on, your home will be here.

1519
01:29:35,280 --> 01:29:36,880
You will practise your profession

1520
01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:38,720
via the scheduled trips
to the field,

1521
01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:40,840
which will see you taken to the cove
in the morning

1522
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:43,240
and returned by sunset.

1523
01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:45,080
All articles will be scrutinised

1524
01:29:45,120 --> 01:29:48,480
by not only the censor and
the Major-General, but by myself.

1525
01:29:48,520 --> 01:29:53,600
You should also know that Captain
Maxwell will now be with you here,

1526
01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:57,840
so constant feedback
can be provided on your writing.

1527
01:29:57,880 --> 01:30:02,680
And all misleading articles,
such as this, Bartlett,

1528
01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:05,760
will be adjusted
to eradicate inaccuracies.

1529
01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:08,160
There was nothing
wrong with that piece.

1530
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:11,640
You insinuated that our men
were frightened prior to battle.

1531
01:30:11,680 --> 01:30:17,160
And how exactly do I depict bravery
without mentioning fear?

1532
01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:21,400
I'm glad you asked. Braithwaite,
would you read them your version?

1533
01:30:26,240 --> 01:30:30,120
"They landed in water
churning with foam and blood,

1534
01:30:30,160 --> 01:30:33,160
"warriors of Empire to the last.

1535
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:38,560
"They fell before a terrible
fusillade, but none turned back.

1536
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:42,280
"Their incredible bravery
was inhuman to behold."

1537
01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:49,320
Excuse me.

1538
01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:54,080
It's pronounced 'fusillade',
and I saw men turn back.

1539
01:30:54,120 --> 01:30:56,520
They had every right to.

1540
01:30:56,560 --> 01:30:59,320
Regarding the use of film cameras,

1541
01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:03,080
now, the War Department have
decreed them to be in poor taste.

1542
01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:05,120
Therefore, there will be
an immediate halt

1543
01:31:05,160 --> 01:31:08,200
to the filming
of any military operations.

1544
01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:11,840
Bean.

1545
01:31:11,880 --> 01:31:13,520
Never have I touched on future plans,

1546
01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:15,920
or criticised military practices,
sir.

1547
01:31:17,160 --> 01:31:19,920
My articles have, according to
the Major-General himself,

1548
01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:21,720
been impeccable.

1549
01:31:21,760 --> 01:31:25,400
Therefore, I must insist
I be able to live on the cove.

1550
01:31:25,440 --> 01:31:28,200
You see, I'm under strict instruction
from my government

1551
01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:31,120
to be able to report on the daily
life of our men in the trenches.

1552
01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:34,040
Now, for me to leave the cove
would serve little purpose

1553
01:31:34,080 --> 01:31:37,600
other than to have me shelled at
twice a day as I come and go.

1554
01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:41,200
There are to be no exceptions.
Gentlemen?

1555
01:31:44,120 --> 01:31:47,440
General Hamilton, a word?

1556
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:51,560
I think you've said enough of late,
don't you?

1557
01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:53,760
Perhaps, sir,
but this is from Lady Hamilton.

1558
01:31:53,800 --> 01:31:56,040
She requested that I pass it on.

1559
01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:01,120
How was she, my wife?

1560
01:32:01,160 --> 01:32:02,720
She seemed fine, sir.

1561
01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:05,120
Eagerly awaiting your return.

1562
01:32:05,160 --> 01:32:08,200
I hope she thanked you,

1563
01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:10,360
because I hear that you tried,
while in London,

1564
01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:12,560
to have me removed.

1565
01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:15,720
No. No, no, no.
I did no such thing, sir.

1566
01:32:15,760 --> 01:32:17,880
I merely suggested
that we needed more...

1567
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:21,320
You and your suggestions
would do well to stay away from me.

1568
01:32:29,560 --> 01:32:33,160
Are you happy?
Hardly ever.

1569
01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:36,080
You know what, you may be able
to concoct your fanciful stories

1570
01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:39,240
from here, but I cannot.
How's that my fault?

1571
01:32:39,280 --> 01:32:40,480
Well, you knew full well

1572
01:32:40,520 --> 01:32:42,960
you were going against regulations
in London.

1573
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:46,920
I criticised no-one by name,
either in word or print.

1574
01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:50,080
No, but you sought
to insert yourself into this war.

1575
01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:52,560
Oh, good God, Bean,
is that all you care about,

1576
01:32:52,600 --> 01:32:54,080
your regulations?

1577
01:32:54,120 --> 01:32:56,720
No, I care about these men. If
someone didn't say something soon,

1578
01:32:56,760 --> 01:32:59,280
I feared there'd be no men
left to care for.

1579
01:32:59,320 --> 01:33:01,120
I'm not here
to criticise this campaign

1580
01:33:01,160 --> 01:33:02,760
and, if I were to do so,

1581
01:33:02,800 --> 01:33:05,720
the army would have no hesitation
in sending me home.

1582
01:33:05,760 --> 01:33:07,920
Nothing will prevent me
from doing my job, Mr Bartlett,

1583
01:33:07,960 --> 01:33:10,320
least of all your ego.

1584
01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:12,920
Is that's what you believe
I'm concerned with?

1585
01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:15,000
Oh, I'm sure of it.

1586
01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:17,200
You abhor rules
because you think you're above them.

1587
01:33:17,240 --> 01:33:20,120
Tell me, when have you ever
not gotten your way?

1588
01:33:20,160 --> 01:33:22,000
Were you not just in that meeting?

1589
01:33:22,040 --> 01:33:23,640
Oh, well apart from here
and apart from then,

1590
01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:26,640
I bet you always get what you want,
like a spoiled child.

1591
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:28,440
Isn't that so?

1592
01:33:28,480 --> 01:33:30,280
Yes! Yes, Bean, always.

1593
01:33:30,320 --> 01:33:31,880
Oh, well, some of us
aren't so lucky.

1594
01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:33,880
Oh, God! Stop your complaining!

1595
01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:36,880
They're not going to hold you here
for long. You're a company man.

1596
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:39,120
Well, you, sir,
are nothing but a salesman!

1597
01:33:39,160 --> 01:33:41,560
You know, I may exclude things,
Mr Bartlett, from my writing,

1598
01:33:41,600 --> 01:33:44,280
but I never invent
just to raise the pulse of a reader.

1599
01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:46,520
You know,
I write only what happens.

1600
01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:49,400
Well, that doesn't make you
a journalist, Bean.

1601
01:33:49,440 --> 01:33:51,880
That makes you a diarist.

1602
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:11,120
Gather our things.

1603
01:34:11,920 --> 01:34:14,520
You spoke with General Hamilton?

1604
01:34:14,560 --> 01:34:18,280
Yes.
And he changed his mind?

1605
01:34:19,560 --> 01:34:21,600
No.

1606
01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:40,160
I'll take these up. See if you can
find something for tea.
Yes, sir.

1607
01:34:41,040 --> 01:34:43,320
Where are you going, sir?

1608
01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:45,480
I'm going to the trenches.

1609
01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:56,640
(DISTANT GUNFIRE)

1610
01:35:10,680 --> 01:35:13,240
Bean, sniper!

1611
01:35:29,640 --> 01:35:32,960
