- What's the ruddy idea?
- [Laughing]
3
00:03:48,770 --> 00:03:51,000
Total war, isn't it?
What do you want?
4
00:03:51,072 --> 00:03:54,303
- Message from H. Q Where's the C. O?
- In the barn. Follow me.
5
00:04:05,953 --> 00:04:07,887
Message from headquarters, sir.
6
00:04:07,955 --> 00:04:10,014
- Sergeant Hawkins.
- Sir.
7
00:04:12,326 --> 00:04:14,453
Read it.
8
00:04:16,464 --> 00:04:18,398
It's in code, sir.
Message begins:
9
00:04:18,466 --> 00:04:21,094
"Exercise invasion
of the London area by regular army.
10
00:04:21,169 --> 00:04:23,103
- Home Guard defending."
- Yeah.
11
00:04:23,171 --> 00:04:25,196
"War starts at midnight."
12
00:04:25,273 --> 00:04:27,241
Message ends.
13
00:04:27,308 --> 00:04:30,573
The C.O.'s put in pencil here, sir:
"Make it like the real thing."

[Whistles]
16
00:04:41,155 --> 00:04:44,886
Message from H. Q War starts at midnight.
You have your orders. Tell the men.
17
00:04:44,959 --> 00:04:48,656
- Tell them to make it
like the real thing.
- What do you mean the real thing?
18
00:04:48,729 --> 00:04:51,129
Our losses divided by ten and
the enemy's multiplied by 20.
19
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:53,929
- Yes, sir.
- That's all for now.
20
00:04:54,001 --> 00:04:56,401
- Anything for me, sir?
- No, nothing else.

00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,806
- The war starts at midnight. We know.
- They know.

- We attack.
- They counter attack.

28
00:05:15,156 --> 00:05:17,420
- So, war starts at midnight, does it?
- Sir.

00:05:17,491 --> 00:05:20,722
We attack at 6:00.
Take all the tommy guns and three trucks.

Section leaders with tommy guns,
arm the men with bombs, rifles, bayonets.
31
00:05:24,065 --> 00:05:27,262
- Tommy. From your section,
Rice, Unsworth...
- The two Owens?
32
00:05:27,335 --> 00:05:29,701
- Yes. Nobby, Toots and Cochrane.
- Not Cochrane, sir.
33
00:05:29,770 --> 00:05:32,330
I'll leave it to you. Stuffy, who are
the biggest toughs in your lot?

- Bill Wall, Wimpey, Madpan and Popeye.
- Yours, Robin?

- Frank, Skeets, Duggie Stewart, sir.
- Taffy, Geordie, sir.

Busty, Porky Simms
and Pat Sullivan, sir.

- Di Evans, sir.
- We must have him. All right. Get going.
38
00:05:43,451 --> 00:05:46,909
Excuse me, sir. Did you say
we attack before war's declared?
39
00:05:46,988 --> 00:05:49,479
Yes, like Pearl Harbor.
Now get going.
40
00:05:49,557 --> 00:05:51,821
Oh, by the way.
There's just one stop. At the Bull.
41
00:05:51,893 --> 00:05:54,054
I've got a date there
with Mata Hari.

- Yeah. Now scram.

- Yeah. Now scram.

Five minutes easy, Sergeant.

Five minutes easy, Stuffy.
46
00:06:31,599 --> 00:06:33,692
I wonder what's keeping Spud.

00:06:33,768 --> 00:06:35,736
Come on.
48
00:06:42,877 --> 00:06:45,038
- Good afternoon, Sergeant Hawkins.
- Good afternoon, miss.

Prop him up here.
Spud.

- What's the matter?
- Come on, sir, what happened?
54
00:07:12,139 --> 00:07:14,073
- Spud! Who?
- She got me.

Mata Hari!
Come on, quick! Oh!

- Any luck?
- Not a hope.
She's halfway to London by now.

She's gone to warn the wizard. Come on,
get my tin hat. Come on, after her.

00:07:33,861 --> 00:07:36,625
- The barricade's open, sir.
- Good. Damn.
59
00:07:36,697 --> 00:07:39,359
You know, sir, you ought to have
one of these field dressings on that.
60
00:07:39,433 --> 00:07:43,995
Save it for her. She'll need it
somewhere else when I catch up with her.

See that barricade, my boys?
Well, at midnight on the dot
it's going to be closed.
62
00:07:53,614 --> 00:07:58,916
And of course the enemy
can't get through before.
Because why? Because...

- Royal Bathers' Club, Piccadilly.

- What about Mata Hari?
- We'll beat her to it.
66
00:08:10,531 --> 00:08:12,761
I know a couple of shortcuts
after Marble Arch.
67
00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:23,736
There she is! Get the other trucks
to close off. See if you can cross her.
68
00:08:24,912 --> 00:08:26,846
Blast that taxi!
69
00:08:28,449 --> 00:08:32,010
Steady.
Keep right on his tail.

- Is General Wynne-Candy in the club?
- No, sir.

The general left an hour ago
with Brigadier General Caldicott...
77
00:09:05,186 --> 00:09:07,677
- and Air Vice Marshal Lloyd-Hughes.
- Did he say where he was going?
78
00:09:07,755 --> 00:09:09,689
Excuse me, sir, but what
is your business with the general?
79
00:09:09,757 --> 00:09:11,691
I have a message with him,
an urgent message.
80
00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:13,693
If you give me the message,
I'll see the general gets it.

- Damn it all, man.

- Why, sir?

is Veuve Cliquot 1911.

are in the Turkish bath, sir.

[Blows Whistle] Sergeant Hawkins,
you're in charge up here. Stay with him.
85
00:09:27,875 --> 00:09:30,105
Don't leave your desk or answer
the telephone. You're a prisoner.
86
00:09:30,177 --> 00:09:33,544
- The war doesn't start till midnight.
- That's what you think.
87
00:09:33,614 --> 00:09:36,777
Sergeant, that girl under the desk there.
She's a prisoner too.
88
00:09:36,851 --> 00:09:39,081
- Corporal, leave these men with me.
- All right, boys, this is it.
89
00:09:39,153 --> 00:09:43,681
- Brute force and ruddy ignorance.
- Come on, after him. Double up.

- Who are you?
- Don't argue. Guard this man.
92
00:09:50,431 --> 00:09:54,265
- And answer that damn telephone.
- Yes, miss? Wanted a Wynne-Candy?
93
00:09:54,335 --> 00:09:57,771
Can't do that, miss.
94
00:09:57,838 --> 00:10:01,069
Sorry, miss, the general's
a prisoner and so are you.
95
00:10:01,142 --> 00:10:03,667
Oh, not till the war's over.

- No, not here.

- Are you the ringleader of this outrage?
- Quiet, please!
100
00:10:24,131 --> 00:10:27,294
This is an army exercise. You're all
prisoners. Now stay where you are.
101
00:10:27,368 --> 00:10:29,928
- Attendant, come here.
Where's General Wynne-Candy?
- Who, sir?
102
00:10:30,004 --> 00:10:33,872
- You heard.
Come on, show me the way. Go on.
- In the steam room.

- Sir.
- Go away.

107
00:11:00,367 --> 00:11:03,962
Eh?
What? Who is it?
108
00:11:04,038 --> 00:11:07,030
Lieutenant Wilson, sir.
Second Battalion, the Devonshires, sir.
109
00:11:07,107 --> 00:11:11,476
- What do you want?
- Well, sir. I'm afraid, sir, we've...
110
00:11:11,545 --> 00:11:16,005
Well, say it, man. Say it.
I've no time to waste.
111
00:11:16,083 --> 00:11:19,746
- [Chuckling] Oh, yes, you have, sir.
- I beg your pardon, sir.
112
00:11:19,820 --> 00:11:22,015
You've got all night, sir.
113
00:11:22,089 --> 00:11:25,252
- Attendant!
- I'm afraid he can't come.
114
00:11:28,429 --> 00:11:30,363
- Why?
- He's a prisoner, sir.
115
00:11:30,431 --> 00:11:33,264
What's going on here?
116
00:11:33,334 --> 00:11:35,666
- Invasion, sir.
- [Scoffs]
117
00:11:35,736 --> 00:11:40,605
But, you damned young idiot,
war starts at midnight.
118
00:11:40,674 --> 00:11:44,337
- Haven't you been told?
- Oh, yes, sir. That's why we're here.
119
00:11:44,411 --> 00:11:48,006
But may I ask on what authority?
120
00:11:48,082 --> 00:11:50,209
On the authority of these guns
and these men, sir.
121
00:11:50,284 --> 00:11:53,515
Authority?
Authority?
122
00:11:53,587 --> 00:11:56,579
How dare you, sir?
How dare you?
123
00:11:56,657 --> 00:12:00,616
Get out of here, sir, you and your gang
of awful militia gangsters!
124
00:12:00,694 --> 00:12:03,720
- Get out!
- Popeye, guard this man.
125
00:12:03,797 --> 00:12:06,823
Stuffy, go to the cubicles.
Find which is General Wynne-Candy's.
126
00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:10,063
- You'll find a brown
pigskin case there. Bring it.
- Yes, sir.
127
00:12:11,305 --> 00:12:14,797
But you can't do that.
The code is in that case.
128
00:12:14,875 --> 00:12:17,435
The whole exercise will be a farce
if you have that code.
129
00:12:17,511 --> 00:12:20,071
Oh, no, sir. This is going to be
the real thing, sir.
130
00:12:20,147 --> 00:12:25,278
- But war starts at midnight.
- Oh, yes, you say war starts at midnight.
131
00:12:25,352 --> 00:12:27,320
How do you know
the enemy says so too?
132
00:12:27,388 --> 00:12:31,222
But, my dear fellow,
that was agreed, wasn't it?
133
00:12:31,292 --> 00:12:33,226
Agreed, my foot.
134
00:12:33,294 --> 00:12:36,161
How many agreements have been kept
by the enemy since this war started?
135
00:12:36,230 --> 00:12:39,290
We agree to keep to the rules of the game
and they go on kicking us in the pants.
136
00:12:39,366 --> 00:12:41,630
When I joined the army,
the only agreement I entered into...
137
00:12:41,702 --> 00:12:44,000
was to defend my country
by every means at my disposal.
138
00:12:44,071 --> 00:12:46,369
Not only by the national
sporting club rules,
139
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,273
- but by every means that have
existed since Cain slugged Abel.
- Stop it.
140
00:12:49,343 --> 00:12:51,311
Don't we know that they're counting
on us to keep to the rules?
141
00:12:51,378 --> 00:12:54,142
- Stop it. Stop it!
- That they openly boast about it?
That they laugh at us?
142
00:12:55,949 --> 00:12:58,315
Lieutenant...
143
00:12:58,385 --> 00:13:01,081
Watson,
or whatever your name is,
144
00:13:01,155 --> 00:13:05,319
you are not in Hyde Park
with an audience of loafers.
145
00:13:05,392 --> 00:13:08,953
I am Major General Wynne-Candy.
146
00:13:09,029 --> 00:13:11,497
These other gentlemen
have all seen service,
147
00:13:11,565 --> 00:13:14,125
distinguished service
with the British Army.
148
00:13:14,201 --> 00:13:18,467
All I can say, sir, is when Napoleon
said an army marched on its stomach...
149
00:13:18,539 --> 00:13:20,473
I'd better stop, sir.
150
00:13:22,309 --> 00:13:25,745
You're an extremely
impudent young officer,
151
00:13:25,813 --> 00:13:31,718
but let me tell you that in 40 years'
time, you'll be an old gentleman too.
152
00:13:31,785 --> 00:13:36,188
And if your belly keeps pace
with your head, you'll have
a bigger one than any of us.
153
00:13:36,256 --> 00:13:38,781
Maybe I shall in 40 years,
but I doubt it.
154
00:13:38,859 --> 00:13:41,327
And I doubt if I'll have time
to grow a mustache like yours, sir.
155
00:13:41,395 --> 00:13:46,389
But in 1983, at least I shall
be able to say that 40 years ago
I was a fellow of enterprise.
156
00:13:48,769 --> 00:13:52,796
I'll punch your head for that,
young fellow. You young puppy.
157
00:13:52,873 --> 00:13:56,274
Put 'em up. Take that.
I'll beat you.
158
00:13:58,879 --> 00:14:01,643
Think you can say what you like
to an old one, do you?
159
00:14:01,715 --> 00:14:03,649
Do you know how many wars
I've been in?
160
00:14:03,717 --> 00:14:07,847
I was fighting for my country when

- Miss Hunter?

Thank you for your telegram.
It came as a great surprise to me.
318
00:24:28,441 --> 00:24:31,035
- I had no idea you were in Berlin.
- Nor had I, till now.
319

- I beg your pardon?
- I only arrived yesterday.
320
00:24:34,047 --> 00:24:37,380
Do you... Can you possibly mean
that you've come here
solely on account of my letter?
321
00:24:37,450 --> 00:24:39,941
- Well, naturally.
- Oh.

- No, no. Of course not.

- Excellent.

I'm sorry to bring you out in such
weather. I was about to call on you.
326
00:24:57,771 --> 00:24:59,705
- I've changed my address.
- Indeed?
327
00:24:59,773 --> 00:25:02,674
- My position became intolerable.
I've had to leave.
- No.
328
00:25:02,742 --> 00:25:05,506
English people are not very popular
in Berlin at the moment, you know.
329
00:25:05,578 --> 00:25:08,138
- Do you mean you've lost your job
because you're English?
- Yes.
330
00:25:08,214 --> 00:25:11,513
- Can you get another job?
- Perhaps in a few months' time.
Not now.
331
00:25:11,584 --> 00:25:14,018
- What will you do now?
- Go back.
332
00:25:14,087 --> 00:25:16,419
- To England?
- Yes, I'm afraid so.
333
00:25:16,489 --> 00:25:19,356
Cheer up. England isn't as bad
as all that, you know.
334
00:25:19,426 --> 00:25:22,520
That is what we both want to prove,
isn't it, Mr. Candy?
335
00:25:22,595 --> 00:25:24,825
Yes, Miss Hunter.
336
00:25:24,898 --> 00:25:28,834
- How shall we begin?
- You mentioned in your letter
a fellow named Kaunitz.
337
00:25:28,902 --> 00:25:31,268
- Do you know what he looks like?
- No, I've never seen him.
338
00:25:31,337 --> 00:25:33,805
- I know a café
friends hold their Stammtisch.
- You do?
339
00:25:33,873 --> 00:25:36,364
That means they have a table
regularly reserved for them.
340
00:25:36,443 --> 00:25:38,377
Do you know any of his friends,
Miss Hunter?
341
00:25:38,445 --> 00:25:40,504
Yes, one. A student.
342
00:25:40,580 --> 00:25:44,107
A brother of my employer...
my ex-employer. He is a Burschenschafter.
343
00:25:44,184 --> 00:25:47,847
- You know what Burschenschafts are?
- No, Miss Hunter.
344
00:25:47,921 --> 00:25:50,719
They are associations of students
professing political principles.
345
00:25:50,790 --> 00:25:53,452
They assert them by drinking beer
and fighting duels.
346
00:25:53,526 --> 00:25:56,518
- Dueling is very popular here, I believe.
- Oh, yes.
347
00:25:56,596 --> 00:26:00,498
It's a proud father that has
a scarred son and vice versa.
348
00:26:00,567 --> 00:26:03,365
German girls find scars
very attractive.
349
00:26:03,436 --> 00:26:07,463
A book was recently published
on the German colonies
in which it was specifically stated...
350
00:26:07,540 --> 00:26:10,031
that one of the advantages
of possessing dueling scars was...
351
00:26:10,110 --> 00:26:13,079
that the natives of Africa
look with more respect upon
a white man who bears them...
352
00:26:13,146 --> 00:26:17,310
- than upon those who do not.
- I feel like Stanley and Livingston.
353
00:26:17,383 --> 00:26:21,547
- Surely not the both, Mr. Candy.
- No, you're Miss Livingston.
I'm the missionary.
354
00:26:21,621 --> 00:26:26,581
- Livingston was the missionary, Mr. Candy.
- Oh, yes. Of course. So he was.

Well, about this café
can you take me there this evening?

- Of course.

Counter-propaganda.

in London that a slight change
of attitude is visible...

00:36:02,234 --> 00:36:05,294
Das ist ja eine schöne
Überraschung, Herr Candy.
476
00:36:05,371 --> 00:36:08,397
- Come on, Kaunitz. You speak English.
- I do.
477
00:36:11,210 --> 00:36:13,178
But I prefer German.
478
00:36:13,245 --> 00:36:16,009
Meine Damen und Herren!
479
00:36:16,082 --> 00:36:18,016
Stop it, Kaunitz.
I'm with a lady.
480
00:36:18,084 --> 00:36:21,576
You should have thought of that
before you started your little joke.
481
00:36:21,654 --> 00:36:23,884
- [Speaking German]
- Stop it, Kaunitz.
482
00:36:23,956 --> 00:36:27,392
- Take off your...
- Come on, be a good man.
483
00:36:28,461 --> 00:36:30,691
[Murmuring]
484
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,568
Get back to your table.
485
00:36:43,743 --> 00:36:48,680
- Dafür werden sie
Rechenschaft geben, Sie Flegel.
- [Man] Rasch. Hilf mir, Hans.
486
00:36:50,583 --> 00:36:52,983
Herr Kapellmeister. Spielen Sie.
487
00:36:57,323 --> 00:36:59,689
- Please tell him it's all his fault.
- ♪♪ [Waltz]
488
00:36:59,759 --> 00:37:01,693
- He started it.
- Englaender!
489
00:37:01,761 --> 00:37:05,219
Bitte, meine Herren.
Kein Skandal.
490
00:37:05,297 --> 00:37:09,199
Eine Schande. Sie dulden
englische Schweine in ihrem Lokal.
491
00:37:09,268 --> 00:37:12,465
- Wir haben gar nichts gemacht.
- Mit ihnen haben wir nichts zu tun.
492
00:37:12,538 --> 00:37:14,472
Manners.
493
00:37:14,540 --> 00:37:17,703
Ich spreche Englisch.
You will get into great trouble, my man.
494
00:37:17,777 --> 00:37:22,942
- You are not now in England.
- You saw very well that he asked for it.
495
00:37:23,015 --> 00:37:25,279
Herr Kaunitz is a friend of us.
496
00:37:25,351 --> 00:37:29,515
- You will satisfaction give.
- Please stop shouting.
You don't understand.
497
00:37:29,588 --> 00:37:32,079
This gentleman and Herr Kaunitz
are old friends.
498
00:37:32,158 --> 00:37:36,857
- Was sagt sie?
- [Speaking German]
499
00:37:36,929 --> 00:37:39,830
It's going a bit far
to call that skunk a friend of mine.
500
00:37:39,899 --> 00:37:43,391
Herr Kaunitz is a member
of der Alldeutsche Verband.
501
00:37:43,469 --> 00:37:46,131
Then the Alldeutsche Verband
ought to be ashamed of itself.
502
00:37:47,873 --> 00:37:51,502
[Speaking German]
503
00:37:52,978 --> 00:37:56,345
Mein Herr, officers
of the Imperial German Army...
504
00:37:56,415 --> 00:37:59,043
are members
of the Alldeutsche Verband.
505
00:37:59,118 --> 00:38:01,609
Then the officers
of the Imperial German Army...
506
00:38:01,687 --> 00:38:04,019
ought to be ashamed
of themselves too.
507
00:38:04,089 --> 00:38:06,785
[Speaking German]
508
00:38:11,764 --> 00:38:14,028
[All Clamoring]
509
00:38:41,727 --> 00:38:43,718
Einen Augenblick, bitte.
510
00:38:50,102 --> 00:38:52,229
Bitte sehr.
511
00:39:06,886 --> 00:39:10,151
- Von Ritter.
- Von Schonborn.
- Uh, Fitzroy.
512
00:39:11,724 --> 00:39:14,056
- K? Nnen wir mit Ihnen Deutsch sprechen?
- Natürlich.
513
00:39:14,126 --> 00:39:16,060
Was wünschen Sie, meine Herren?
514
00:39:16,128 --> 00:39:19,495
It being on British territory,
should we rather speak in English?
515
00:39:19,565 --> 00:39:22,295
Righto. How can I help you gentlemen?
Won't you sit down?
516
00:39:22,368 --> 00:39:24,302
Thank you.
517
00:39:27,439 --> 00:39:29,907
Thank you.
518
00:39:29,975 --> 00:39:33,411
We wish some information
about a compatriot of yours in Berlin,
519
00:39:33,479 --> 00:39:36,880
- a certain Mr. Candy.
- Clive Candy?
520
00:39:36,949 --> 00:39:38,883
- Yes, Clive Candy.
- You've come to the right man.
521
00:39:38,951 --> 00:39:41,112
- I know him well.
We were at Harrow together.
- Indeed?
522
00:39:41,186 --> 00:39:44,246
We've lost touch a bit since
the war, though. He's army, you know.
523
00:39:44,323 --> 00:39:46,257
He is an officer
of the British Army?
524
00:39:46,325 --> 00:39:49,260
- Yes, he's just returned
from South Africa.
- This is excellent news.
525
00:39:49,328 --> 00:39:51,819
[Speaking German]
526
00:39:51,897 --> 00:39:54,491
- You have relieved us
from great doubts.
- I don't quite understand.
527
00:39:54,566 --> 00:39:57,262
We were worried that your friend
might not be able to give satisfaction.
528
00:39:57,336 --> 00:39:59,270
Satisfaction?
529
00:39:59,338 --> 00:40:01,738
It is understood that an officer
of the Imperial German Army...
530
00:40:01,807 --> 00:40:06,369
cannot demand satisfaction
from an opponent who is not
his equal in position and honor.
531
00:40:06,445 --> 00:40:08,913
But since this
Clive Candy is an officer,
532
00:40:08,981 --> 00:40:11,541
- he can be challenged.
- Challenged? To what?
533
00:40:11,617 --> 00:40:13,551
- To a duel, Mr. Fitzroy.
- Duel?
534
00:40:21,026 --> 00:40:22,960
Venning, hurry over to the Kaiserhof.
535
00:40:23,028 --> 00:40:25,360
Bring Mr. Clive Candy here at once.
Don't come back without him.
536
00:40:25,431 --> 00:40:27,422
Yes, Mr. Fitzroy.
537
00:40:37,343 --> 00:40:40,676
- I told you to hurry, Venning.
Don't argue. Go at once!
- But...
538
00:40:47,786 --> 00:40:51,745
- Mr. Candy has insulted
the whole of the German Army.
- I didn't insult anybody.
539
00:40:51,824 --> 00:40:55,555
I said if the army officers belonged
to the Alldeutsche Verband with Kaunitz...
540
00:40:55,627 --> 00:40:59,791
Then the German Army
ought to be ashamed of itself.
That's what you said.
541
00:40:59,865 --> 00:41:01,924
Eighty-two Ulan officers
want to challenge you.
542
00:41:02,001 --> 00:41:04,094
Mr. Candy's told me the whole story.
543
00:41:04,169 --> 00:41:07,661
By the way, Candy, that girl
you mentioned, is she trustworthy?
544
00:41:07,740 --> 00:41:09,571
Oh, undoubtedly, sir.
545
00:41:09,641 --> 00:41:13,008
Surely it's not suggested that Mr. Candy
should fight the whole officer corps.
546
00:41:13,078 --> 00:41:15,478
They're drawing lots, sir, to decide
who is to have the honor...
547
00:41:15,547 --> 00:41:19,142
of fighting this gentleman
who has not insulted anybody.
548
00:41:19,218 --> 00:41:21,652
Yes, I agree. Have you
any suggestions, Colonel?
549
00:41:21,720 --> 00:41:24,689
Militarily speaking,
Mr. Candy has no option.
550
00:41:24,757 --> 00:41:27,191
He cannot fight a duel.
He must run away.
551
00:41:27,259 --> 00:41:30,160
Politically speaking,
such an action would be disastrous.
552
00:41:30,229 --> 00:41:32,891
- Mr. Candy must fight.
- Yes, but, gentlemen, one moment.
553
00:41:32,965 --> 00:41:35,695
Surely you're leaving Mr. Candy
out of your calculations.
554
00:41:35,768 --> 00:41:39,226
- I'll fight if necessary, sir.
- Yes, my dear boy. I know that.
555
00:41:39,304 --> 00:41:42,933
- You'd better go to your hotel
and stay there.
- Yes, sir.
556
00:41:43,008 --> 00:41:45,533
And could you get
in touch with Miss...
557
00:41:45,611 --> 00:41:47,545
Miss Hunter, sir?
I believe I could.
558
00:41:47,613 --> 00:41:49,706
Explain to her it's necessary
to give the impression...
559
00:41:49,782 --> 00:41:53,718
that your reasons for coming
to Berlin were to see her, hmm?
560
00:41:53,786 --> 00:41:56,619
- You're probably in love with her
or something of the sort.
- I say, sir. But I'm not.
561
00:41:56,688 --> 00:42:00,852
My dear Mr. Candy, you've caused enough
trouble already. Do what I ask.
562
00:42:00,926 --> 00:42:05,090
Meanwhile, I and these gentlemen
will discuss the best way
to get you out of this...
563
00:42:05,164 --> 00:42:07,098
and us.
564
00:42:07,166 --> 00:42:09,634
Well, you are a bloody...
565
00:42:18,110 --> 00:42:22,604
May I have the codex,
Herr Eckmeister?
566
00:42:22,681 --> 00:42:24,615
Thank you.
567
00:42:24,683 --> 00:42:27,914
This is our famous Brown Codex,
Colonel Goodhead.
568
00:42:27,986 --> 00:42:30,648
The code of honor
observed by all duelists.
569
00:42:30,722 --> 00:42:33,384
We thought you might not
be familiar with it.
570
00:42:33,459 --> 00:42:36,553
Thank you, I shall study it
with attention.
571
00:42:36,628 --> 00:42:39,461
We have permission to offer
for the site of the duel...
572
00:42:39,531 --> 00:42:42,193
the gymnasium
at the barracks of our regiment.
573
00:42:43,635 --> 00:42:45,762
We agree.
574
00:42:45,838 --> 00:42:48,363
We are now in the position to announce
the name of our fellow officer...
575
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,601
who will fight Lieutenant Candy...
576
00:42:50,676 --> 00:42:53,008
Oberleutnant Theodor
Kretschmar-Schuldorff.
577
00:42:53,078 --> 00:42:55,137
- May I make a note of that?
- With the greatest of pleasure.
578
00:42:55,214 --> 00:42:57,478
- His card.
- Thank you.
579
00:42:57,549 --> 00:43:02,577
Have you gentlemen any suggestions
regarding choice of leader for the duel?
580
00:43:02,654 --> 00:43:05,953
We suggest the military attaché
to the Swedish delegation.
581
00:43:06,024 --> 00:43:08,083
[Speaking German]
582
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,151
We agree. His name is?
583
00:43:10,229 --> 00:43:12,390
- Colonel Borg.
- Colonel Borg.
584
00:43:12,464 --> 00:43:16,025
Regarding sabers, we shall, of course,
supply a number to choose from.
585
00:43:16,101 --> 00:43:19,662
- With your permission,
we shall supply a number as well.
- Most certainly, colonel.
586
00:43:19,738 --> 00:43:23,333
- The choice of sabers
will be determined by lot.
- I see.
587
00:43:23,408 --> 00:43:27,970
You know, of course,
that sabers must not exceed
the maximum weight of 60 dekagrams.
588
00:43:29,248 --> 00:43:33,082
- Sixty dekagrams.
- We shall make a note of it.
589
00:43:33,152 --> 00:43:35,985
You will, of course, bring your own doctor.
We shall bring ours.
590
00:43:36,054 --> 00:43:37,988
We agree.
591
00:43:38,056 --> 00:43:41,287
Do you prefer to strip the upper parts
of the bodies of the combatants,
592
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,954
- or do you prefer them in shirtsleeves?
- Shirtsleeves.
593
00:43:44,029 --> 00:43:48,591
I see here
that paragraph 133 says,
594
00:43:48,667 --> 00:43:52,364
"A few hours previous to the duel,
it is advisable to take a bath."
595
00:43:52,437 --> 00:43:54,769
Only the principals,
not the seconds.
596
00:43:57,242 --> 00:44:00,006
It's a very strange sensation
to be preparing a duel...
597
00:44:00,078 --> 00:44:02,444
between two people
who've never even seen each other.
598
00:44:02,514 --> 00:44:04,675
It happens sometimes.
599
00:44:04,750 --> 00:44:07,116
Marriages also, you know?
600
00:44:07,186 --> 00:44:09,120
By the way, has your man
ever fought a duel?
601
00:44:09,188 --> 00:44:11,019
No. Has yours?
602
00:44:11,089 --> 00:44:13,284
Strictly between ourselves,
603
00:44:13,358 --> 00:44:16,384
Theo doesn't really approve of duels.
604
00:44:16,461 --> 00:44:20,124
Then, gentlemen,
is this fight really necessary?
605
00:44:22,367 --> 00:44:28,033
Sir, there are moments in a soldier's life
when his personal feelings do not count.
606
00:44:28,106 --> 00:44:32,975
Oberleutnant Kretschmar-Schuldorff
knows his duties very well.
607
00:44:38,116 --> 00:44:40,084
We have not agreed
upon the time, gentlemen.
608
00:44:40,152 --> 00:44:42,450
Will 7:00 in the morning
be agreeable to you?
609
00:44:42,521 --> 00:44:45,422
- Get it over early?
- I agree. Seven o'clock.
610
00:44:45,490 --> 00:44:47,958
It would be advisable
to meet half an hour earlier.
611
00:44:48,026 --> 00:44:51,393
At 6:30 a.m. In the gymnasium
of the barracks of the Second Ulans.
612
00:45:01,340 --> 00:45:03,774
Here comes our man.
613
00:45:09,982 --> 00:45:11,916
- Morning. Slept well?
- Very.
614
00:45:11,984 --> 00:45:14,384
He was still sleeping
when I called for him at the hotel.
615
00:45:14,453 --> 00:45:17,183
- They forgot to wake me.
- Your nerves are all right, my boy.
616
00:45:17,256 --> 00:45:20,384
- Dr. Crowther, Mr. Candy.
- How do you do?
617
00:45:20,459 --> 00:45:23,189
Oh.
618
00:45:23,262 --> 00:45:25,196
Why wasn't I allowed any breakfast?
619
00:45:25,264 --> 00:45:28,199
- 'Cause the book says not.
- It would.
620
00:45:28,267 --> 00:45:30,235
Ah, you'll do.
621
00:45:30,302 --> 00:45:33,328
- Do you want this?
- I hope you've read it.
622
00:45:33,405 --> 00:45:36,670
Miss Hunter read it. She says
it's a joke, good enough for punch.
623
00:45:36,742 --> 00:45:40,075
- Where is Theo Kretschmar-Schuldorff?
- He hasn't shown up yet.
624
00:45:40,145 --> 00:45:42,306
I congratulate you
on your pronunciation of the name.
625
00:45:42,381 --> 00:45:44,747
I learned it by heart
so that when my grandchildren say,
626
00:45:44,816 --> 00:45:47,478
"Grandpa, have you ever
cut anybody's ear off?"
627
00:45:47,552 --> 00:45:51,318
I shall be able to say,
"Yes, Theo Kretschmar-Schuldorff's."
628
00:45:51,390 --> 00:45:54,655
Nobody could invent a name like that.
Hello, who's this?
629
00:45:54,726 --> 00:45:58,093
Colonel Borg, the Swedish military
attaché
630
00:45:58,163 --> 00:46:00,631
Colonel Borg, Mr. Candy.
631
00:46:00,699 --> 00:46:03,497
I must of course use
German expressions.
632
00:46:03,568 --> 00:46:07,971
I shall say los for starting,
and halt for stop.
633
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,634
- Can you memorize these two words?
- I'll try, sir.
634
00:46:10,709 --> 00:46:12,870
Anyhow, at the beginning,
I'll be pretty sure that you mean start,
635
00:46:12,944 --> 00:46:15,435
and during the combat,

01:00:17,788 --> 01:00:21,724
- Only whist.
- It's simple. Let's have
a trial game of double dummy.
799
01:00:21,792 --> 01:00:23,817
I will bring a lamp.
800
01:00:23,895 --> 01:00:27,422
You're a good pupil, Edith.
That's 32,000 pounds I owe you.
801
01:00:27,498 --> 01:00:29,728
- I'll toss you double or quits.
- Agreed.
802
01:00:31,102 --> 01:00:34,196
- All right, what is it?
- Heads... No, I mean tails.
803
01:00:34,272 --> 01:00:37,764
Heads it is.
We're quits.
804
01:00:37,842 --> 01:00:43,405
Here are cigarettes. But please do
remember that smoking is bad for you.
805
01:00:43,481 --> 01:00:46,882
- Ich liebe Sie, Nurse Erna.
- You are an angel, Nurse Erna.
806
01:00:46,951 --> 01:00:50,284
- [Knocking]
- There are our guests.
Would you let them in?
807
01:01:12,343 --> 01:01:15,437
Frau von Kalteneck,
Oberleutnant Kretschmar-Schuldorff.
808
01:01:15,513 --> 01:01:17,447
Miss Hunter, Mr. Candy.
809
01:01:17,515 --> 01:01:19,449
Ich hoffe Sie werden sich
gut unterhalten.

- [Speaking German]
- Danke sehr.
813
01:01:27,558 --> 01:01:30,049
I'm very glad you've come.
814
01:01:31,562 --> 01:01:33,962
I promised Theo
to make a little speech.
815
01:01:34,031 --> 01:01:37,194
- He would like to have made it himself.
- Very much.
816
01:01:37,268 --> 01:01:40,032
Theo knows only
two English expressions:
817
01:01:40,104 --> 01:01:42,572
"Very much" and "not very much."
818
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,336
- Stimmt's, Theo?
- Very much.
819
01:01:45,409 --> 01:01:48,606
- He would like to have come before.
- Very much.
820
01:01:48,679 --> 01:01:52,877
Only he was afraid nobody
could translate to you what he says.
821
01:01:52,950 --> 01:01:55,009
Miss Hunter speaks German.
822
01:01:55,086 --> 01:01:57,020
She sprechen German.
823
01:01:57,088 --> 01:01:59,716

- Nicht sehr gut.

01:01:59,790 --> 01:02:03,385
Ich finde Sie reden
ausgezeichnet.
825
01:02:03,461 --> 01:02:07,261
Theo has heard that you were took part
in the South Africa campaign.
826
01:02:07,331 --> 01:02:09,765
- Ja, ja.
- And that you have won
a very famous medal.
827
01:02:09,834 --> 01:02:14,032
- Ja, Victoria... Uh. Ja, cross.
- Victoria Cross.
828
01:02:14,105 --> 01:02:19,042
He envies you because
a German officer knows about war
only from the newspapers.
829
01:02:19,110 --> 01:02:22,238
- And mostly wrongly.
- And mostly wrongly.
830
01:02:22,313 --> 01:02:25,646
- Let's have a drink, shall we? Sherry?
- I would love a glass of sherry.
831
01:02:25,716 --> 01:02:30,119
- Would you like sherry?
- Not very much.
832
01:02:30,187 --> 01:02:33,281
- Port?
- [Speaking German]
833
01:02:33,357 --> 01:02:35,882
She and I,
we drink "Kirchwater."
834
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:38,588
[Chuckling]
Kirchwasser.
835
01:02:38,663 --> 01:02:40,927
Yes, that's right. "Kirchwater."
Do you like it?
836
01:02:40,998 --> 01:02:43,125
Very, very much.
837
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:45,691
Let me help you.
838
01:02:53,678 --> 01:02:55,942
Do you know Berlin, Mr. Candy?
839
01:02:56,013 --> 01:02:59,505
The Hotel Kaiserhof, the British Embassy,
the Café
840
01:02:59,583 --> 01:03:04,520
and the gymnasium
of the barracks of the Second Ulans.
841
01:03:04,588 --> 01:03:07,523
I hope we shall be able
to show you more than that.
842
01:03:07,591 --> 01:03:10,116
- Eine Zigarette, Oberleutnant?
- Furchtbar nett. Danke sehr.
843
01:03:10,194 --> 01:03:14,927
- Do you like the opera? Concerts?
- I prefer riding, hunting or polo.
844
01:03:14,999 --> 01:03:18,059
I adore hunting,
and I love sports.
845
01:03:19,704 --> 01:03:21,638
Interessieren Sie sich
für Sport, gnaedige Fraeulein?
846
01:03:21,706 --> 01:03:23,765
Nein, ich habe keinerlei Talent
für Sports.
847
01:03:23,841 --> 01:03:25,775
Cut for partners.
848
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,414
- You and I.
- Sie und ich.

- What's he say?
- I hope we shall be able
to play every night.
851
01:03:37,221 --> 01:03:40,418
- Oh, yes. Rather.
- Very much.
852
01:04:01,045 --> 01:04:05,038
- I say.
- Oh, Babyface, I want you a moment.
853
01:04:05,116 --> 01:04:08,313
- What is it, those nursing home accounts?
- Yeah.
854
01:04:08,386 --> 01:04:10,946
Would you kindly explain
what the deuce this item means?
855
01:04:11,021 --> 01:04:13,854
- Forty packs of playing cards?
- Oh, that.
856
01:04:13,924 --> 01:04:15,858
It's enough for the casino
at Monte Carlo.
857
01:04:15,926 --> 01:04:18,554
I spoke to Miss Hunter about it.
But she says the evenings were so long...
858
01:04:18,629 --> 01:04:22,656
- there's nothing much to do
at Stolpchensee in the winter.
- Very well.
859
01:04:22,733 --> 01:04:25,463
- Don't you ever do any work?
- What?
860
01:04:25,536 --> 01:04:28,994
Oh, these. First time this year.
I draw it mild.
861
01:04:29,073 --> 01:04:33,373
Well, don't catch a cold. These nursing
homes are an expensive business.
862
01:04:33,444 --> 01:04:35,742
- Is Miss Hunter returning to England?
- As far as I know.
863
01:04:35,813 --> 01:04:39,544
- Not at our expense, I hope.
- Good heavens, no. She was going anyway.
864
01:04:39,617 --> 01:04:42,643
- So was Candy, for that matter.
- I know.
865
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:44,984
He had a return ticket.
It's expired.
866
01:04:45,055 --> 01:04:47,546
- Very well. Buy him a new one.
- Righto.
867
01:04:47,625 --> 01:04:49,559
And get Candy to give you
that old ticket of his.
868
01:04:49,627 --> 01:04:51,561
We'll claim a refund at Cooks.
869
01:04:51,629 --> 01:04:55,827
Those things belong to Theo.
Put them with the alarm clock.
870
01:04:57,435 --> 01:04:59,995
- How's your own packing going?
- Not fast.
871
01:05:00,070 --> 01:05:02,004
Well, you'd better hurry up then.
872
01:05:02,072 --> 01:05:04,199
- I'll be all right.
- Don't you be so sure.
873
01:05:04,275 --> 01:05:06,937
We've only got half an hour if we're
going to call at the embassy first.
874
01:05:07,011 --> 01:05:10,276
- Stop moving about.
- I'm not moving about!
875
01:05:10,347 --> 01:05:12,281
- Keep your hair on.
- [Sobbing]

I say, old girl, what's up?
877
01:05:15,252 --> 01:05:17,550
Edith, I say.
What's the matter?
878
01:05:17,621 --> 01:05:20,089
It's not because I didn't call
for you yesterday, is it?
879
01:05:20,157 --> 01:05:23,126
- You know Frau von Kalteneck
left for the south last night.
- Did she?
880
01:05:23,194 --> 01:05:25,424
- You knew she was going?
- I'd forgotten.
881
01:05:25,496 --> 01:05:27,760
It's not my fault
if you don't like horses, is it?
882
01:05:27,832 --> 01:05:30,801
We went to see her riding stables.
She's got some fine beasts.
883
01:05:30,868 --> 01:05:34,929
They're a bit fat though.
I say, old girl. Do stop crying.
884
01:05:35,005 --> 01:05:38,441
- Supposing somebody came in.
- Nobody will come in.

Look.

01:05:43,013 --> 01:05:45,641
I promise to take you out
the first night we get back to London.

Her Majesty's Theater,
The Last of the Dandies.

They say
it's an awfully good show.

- But the papers say...
- What paper? What do you mean?
890
01:05:52,523 --> 01:05:54,457
Is that's what's making you cry?
891
01:05:54,525 --> 01:06:00,157
The papers say there was a play at
Her Majesty's called Ulysses. [Sobbing]

I hope we'll meet again sometime.

I came to Berlin to find a rat, and I found
two of the grandest people I've ever met.

you, this girl in trust.

I'll raise the whole of England against you.

- So would I, sir.

01:30:48,584 --> 01:30:52,020
- I was beginning to think so.
- [Chuckles]
1275
01:30:52,088 --> 01:30:54,682
I have 62 freshly trained nurses
straight from England,
1276
01:30:54,757 --> 01:30:56,691
and all dying
to nurse someone.
1277
01:30:56,759 --> 01:30:59,193
- Now, what's the trouble?
- Trouble, Matron?
1278
01:30:59,261 --> 01:31:01,354
Well, the nun said
you'd eaten something.
1279
01:31:01,430 --> 01:31:03,830
She got it wrong.
I want to eat.
1280
01:31:03,899 --> 01:31:05,833
- I am hungry.
- Oh!
1281
01:31:05,901 --> 01:31:07,835
- [Laughing]
- Yes.
1282
01:31:07,903 --> 01:31:09,837
C'est qu'il veut manger.
1283
01:31:09,905 --> 01:31:11,839
- [Chuckling]
- [Laughs]

- Soyez le bienvenu, gé
- Merci, ma mè

- Il va rester avec nous.
- Oui, ma mè
1286
01:31:20,549 --> 01:31:23,040
That's settled, then. We shall be
delighted to have you with us.
1287
01:31:23,119 --> 01:31:25,053
Thank you.
1288
01:31:25,121 --> 01:31:27,715
You've been in the front line?
I suppose you have.
1289
01:31:27,790 --> 01:31:31,726
I was with the Italians.
I was lucky. I came through
Caporetto without a scratch.
1290
01:31:31,794 --> 01:31:34,228
Good heavens, Matron.
What insect powder do you use?
1291
01:31:34,296 --> 01:31:36,287
Oh!
[Laughing]
1292
01:31:42,138 --> 01:31:44,072
Come and sit over here,
General, will you?
1293
01:31:44,140 --> 01:31:46,074
Move up a bit, my dear.
1294
01:31:46,142 --> 01:31:48,076
- Une assiette, s'il vous plaît.
- Oui, matrone.
1295
01:31:48,144 --> 01:31:50,135
Would you pass the water, dear?
1296
01:31:52,648 --> 01:31:56,140
- We have macaroni. Thank you, nurse.
- Splendid.
1297
01:31:56,218 --> 01:31:59,654
Matron, have you ever seen
the Indian rope trick?
1298
01:31:59,722 --> 01:32:02,748
No, General. Have you?
Must be an incredible sight.
1299
01:32:02,825 --> 01:32:04,759
Yes, but I've never heard
of anybody who's seen it...
1300
01:32:04,827 --> 01:32:07,091
unless he heard he was
going to see it first.
1301
01:32:07,163 --> 01:32:09,097
I beg your pardon.
I don't quite understand.
1302
01:32:09,165 --> 01:32:13,431
You hear about a thing, you hope
to see it, and then you'll see it.
1303
01:32:13,502 --> 01:32:15,595
Yes, General.
Will you excuse me?
1304
01:32:15,671 --> 01:32:17,764
One moment, Matron.
Do you know that girl over there?
1305
01:32:17,840 --> 01:32:20,604
I'm afraid I don't.
I only met them here at the station.
1306
01:32:20,676 --> 01:32:22,610
Come along, nurses!
Bed, everyone! Bed, everybody!
1307
01:32:22,678 --> 01:32:24,805
Come along!
1308
01:32:26,515 --> 01:32:28,506
Come on, Wynne.
1309
01:32:40,329 --> 01:32:44,129
- Où est la matron? Oui, la matrone.
- La matrone?

- Oui, parler. Quick.

1312
01:32:51,140 --> 01:32:54,132
Do you know the name of the girl
sitting at the end of that table?
1313
01:32:54,210 --> 01:32:57,304
- Dark or fair?
- Fair.
1314
01:32:57,379 --> 01:33:00,644
Oh, I don't remember.
Can you describe her better?
1315
01:33:00,716 --> 01:33:03,150
Well, she was fair.
I didn't see the color of her eyes.
1316
01:33:03,219 --> 01:33:06,154
- Slim.
- Sorry. It might be anyone.
1317
01:33:06,222 --> 01:33:09,817
- Excuse me, General.
- Where do you come from tonight?

- Good night, General.
- Good night.

- How long now?
- Not long now, sir.
1321
01:33:27,543 --> 01:33:30,171
- You said that 10 separate times.
- I know, sir.
1322
01:33:30,246 --> 01:33:32,180
Well, hurry.
The train leaves at 10:30.
1323
01:33:32,248 --> 01:33:34,512
- I know, sir.
- I need extra time at Ami-le-Bon.

- I'm going to G.H. Q
- I know, sir.
1325

Stop talking like
an infernal parrot, Murdoch.
1326
01:33:38,587 --> 01:33:40,748
- How do you know?
- I was told, sir.
1327
01:33:40,823 --> 01:33:42,757
- Who told you?
- Major van Zijl's batman, sir.
1328
01:33:42,825 --> 01:33:45,419
- What did he say?
- That you were up in the air, sir,
1329
01:33:45,494 --> 01:33:47,928
because the major had got valuable
information from theJerries...
1330
01:33:47,997 --> 01:33:49,931
the prisoners, sir.
1331
01:33:49,999 --> 01:33:52,365
Your misinformation,
Murdoch, is typical.
1332
01:33:52,434 --> 01:33:56,370
- Thank you, sir.
- Four pages of confessions not worth...
1333
01:33:58,274 --> 01:34:01,710
Kretschmar-Schuldorff. There can't be
two of them with a name like that.
1334
01:34:01,777 --> 01:34:03,711
- Eh, Murdoch?
- No, sir.
1335
01:34:03,779 --> 01:34:06,873
- You don't know what on earth
I'm talking about.
- No, sir.
1336
01:34:06,949 --> 01:34:10,942
Haven't I told you about the time
I was in Berlin in 1902?
1337
01:34:11,020 --> 01:34:13,045
When you grew
your mustache, sir?
1338
01:34:13,122 --> 01:34:16,216
And yet you can't remember
the name Kretschmar-Schuldorff.
1339
01:34:16,292 --> 01:34:19,728
You know, you ought to bequeath
that brain of yours to Guy's Hospital.
1340
01:34:19,795 --> 01:34:22,059
Oh, I remember now, sir.
He married the girl.
1341
01:34:22,131 --> 01:34:25,567
Yes. He married the girl.

[Distant Explosions]
1343
01:34:27,636 --> 01:34:29,570
Last night, Murdoch,
1344
01:34:29,638 --> 01:34:33,369
I saw a girl, a nurse,
straight from England.
1345
01:34:34,977 --> 01:34:37,741
I've never seen
a more striking resemblance.
1346
01:34:37,813 --> 01:34:41,977
She must have been a very
common type of girl, sir...
the young lady in Berlin, I mean.
1347
01:34:42,051 --> 01:34:45,578
She was a most uncommon...
What the devil do you mean, Murdoch?
1348
01:34:45,654 --> 01:34:49,249
Well, sir, there was that girl in films.
Remember, you went nine times?
1349
01:34:49,325 --> 01:34:51,259
And there was that girl
in the group out of the Bystander.
1350
01:34:51,327 --> 01:34:53,420
We lost it in the big push,
didn't we?
1351
01:34:53,495 --> 01:34:56,896
And then there's...
Dispatch rider coming, sir.
1352
01:34:56,966 --> 01:35:01,198
- General Candy. Urgent message
from Major van Zijl, sir.
- Yes.
1353
01:35:01,270 --> 01:35:03,204
Came over the wire
from Mile 14.

No. No answer.
1358
01:35:32,034 --> 01:35:34,025
Anything wrong, sir?
1359
01:35:36,038 --> 01:35:39,303
Murdoch, the war is over.
1360
01:35:40,609 --> 01:35:42,372
Is it, sir?
1361
01:35:42,444 --> 01:35:44,810
The Germans have accepted
the terms of the armistice.
1362
01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:46,814
Hostilities cease at 10:00.

It's nearly that now.
1364
01:35:48,984 --> 01:35:51,475
Murdoch, do you know
what this means?
1365
01:35:51,553 --> 01:35:54,215
I do, sir. Peace.
1366
01:35:56,392 --> 01:35:58,383
I can go home.

Everybody can go home.
1368
01:36:01,664 --> 01:36:04,599
For me, Murdoch,
it means more than that.
1369
01:36:04,667 --> 01:36:09,161
It means that right is might after all.
1370
01:36:09,238 --> 01:36:12,071
The Germans have shelled hospitals,
bombed open towns,
1371
01:36:12,141 --> 01:36:15,508
sunk neutral ships, used poison gas...
1372
01:36:15,577 --> 01:36:18,011
and we won.

01:38:22,371 --> 01:38:25,363
Can I ask you a question first?

"Where is another war
where you can use me?"

and I told you.

I'm asking you again
because I want to hear it again.

I should like to say
a few words to General Candy.

We members
of the Church Militant...
1410
01:39:49,958 --> 01:39:52,392
can admire
the heroes of the war,
1411

but in our hearts,
we are men of peace.

And so I am glad to have met you
for the first time, as I did, sir,

01:40:00,068 --> 01:40:04,129
on a simple
and heartwarming occasion,
1414
01:40:04,206 --> 01:40:06,800
rather than
at some military ceremonial.
1415
01:40:06,875 --> 01:40:09,810
When I first heard
that a general of the British army...
1416
01:40:09,878 --> 01:40:14,247
was arranging a ball for the benefit
of those nurses of the West Riding...
1417
01:40:14,316 --> 01:40:17,581
who had taken part
in the four-year struggle,
1418
01:40:17,653 --> 01:40:23,387
I said to myself, "There is a man
whose heart is in the right place."
1419
01:40:23,458 --> 01:40:27,519
And I am glad to be able to tell you
that one result is...
1420
01:40:27,596 --> 01:40:33,535
that the sum of ￡
2-and-6 pence...
1421
01:40:33,602 --> 01:40:38,437
will be handed over to
the War Nurses Benevolent Fund.
1422
01:40:40,676 --> 01:40:42,871
My lord Bishop,
I want to make a confession.
1423
01:40:42,945 --> 01:40:47,780
Lfirst saw Barbara in Flanders
on the last night of the war.
1424
01:40:49,084 --> 01:40:52,781
She was a nurse
among 70 other nurses.
1425
01:40:52,854 --> 01:40:54,879
I never knew her name,
1426
01:40:54,957 --> 01:40:57,391
but I found out that most of
the nurses came from Yorkshire,
1427
01:40:57,459 --> 01:41:00,121
the West Riding.
1428
01:41:00,195 --> 01:41:04,188
And, of course, she was a nurse.
1429
01:41:04,266 --> 01:41:06,291
So, I thought to myself,
1430
01:41:06,368 --> 01:41:10,464
"Well, Yorkshire
is a big place,"my lord Bishop.
1431
01:41:10,539 --> 01:41:12,973
So I thought,
1432
01:41:13,041 --> 01:41:16,875
"How can I find a nurse in Yorkshire?"
1433
01:41:16,945 --> 01:41:21,473
You understand
who I'm driving at, I suppose.
1434
01:41:21,550 --> 01:41:23,484
What I mean?
1435
01:41:27,556 --> 01:41:30,252
I understand exactly

- Thank you, sir.

I can't imagine anything more awful
than being a prisoner of war in England.

- Oh, my dear fellow,

in this country, people poke
their nose into everything.
1632
01:54:16,991 --> 01:54:19,585
- You get any letters from spinsters?
- Yes, we have.
1633
01:54:19,660 --> 01:54:23,756
Yes, I thought so. They started
a campaign to write to prisoners of war.
1634
01:54:23,831 --> 01:54:27,392
- Not our chaps, mind you.
- Oh, it wasn't so bad.
1635
01:54:27,468 --> 01:54:29,333
We had books, concerts, lectures.
1636
01:54:29,404 --> 01:54:31,429
I'm sure your camp was well run.
1637
01:54:31,506 --> 01:54:34,066

is very thorough.
1638

A bit too thorough for us.

My daughterJoyce started
a campaign to better the food
of the German prisoners.

charged with overfeeding them!

- Good luck.

01:55:04,705 --> 01:55:07,196
By the way, what have you done
with old Tiger Bloomfield?
1648
01:55:07,275 --> 01:55:09,300
At Victoria. He's in the bar
at the Grosvenor.
1649
01:55:09,377 --> 01:55:13,609
- He was hostage for the oberst.
- Now, where is the sense
of guarding officer prisoners...
1650
01:55:13,681 --> 01:55:17,412
- nearly a year after the fighting's over?
- I imagine it is more to protect us.
1651
01:55:17,485 --> 01:55:19,419
- Protect against what?
- People.
1652
01:55:19,487 --> 01:55:22,217
- What people? How do you mean?
- Your people.

as easily as you can, gentlemen.

that's not true.

[Clive] You mean to say that our people
would attack you in that uniform?
1656
01:55:33,468 --> 01:55:35,902
I tried to kill Englishmen
in this uniform.
1657
01:55:35,970 --> 01:55:38,666
My dear fellow, that's rather
a gloomy point of view, isn't it?
1658
01:55:38,739 --> 01:55:41,469
[Clive] You've got the wrong end
of the stick, old man.
1659
01:55:41,542 --> 01:55:44,670
- Of course. The war's over.
- Yes. There's nothing to be
a menace about.

so what are we going to do?

We can become stable boys.

occupying our cities for years?

more wrong than you are.

1755
02:03:22,202 --> 02:03:25,638
If you were here to work for the enemy,
what would you tell me now?
1756
02:03:25,706 --> 02:03:28,300
Exactly the same.
That you were a friend of England...
1757
02:03:28,375 --> 02:03:30,809
and that our enemy
was your enemy.
1758
02:03:30,878 --> 02:03:33,813
I know this is hard
on those who are really with us,
1759
02:03:33,881 --> 02:03:38,318
but it should be their best assurance
that this time we mean business.
1760
02:03:38,385 --> 02:03:42,913
If you are a friend, our precautions
are your precautions...
1761
02:03:42,990 --> 02:03:45,652
and our interests,
your interests,
1762
02:03:45,726 --> 02:03:49,924
because our victory
will be your victory.
1763
02:03:51,231 --> 02:03:53,722
Is there anything else
you'd like to say?
1764
02:03:56,170 --> 02:03:58,104
If you don't mind, sir...
1765
02:03:58,172 --> 02:04:00,663
No. Go ahead.
1766
02:04:00,741 --> 02:04:02,675
In earlier years,
1767
02:04:02,743 --> 02:04:06,907
the most important principle of my life
used to be "never lie,
1768
02:04:06,981 --> 02:04:08,915
always tell the truth."
1769
02:04:08,983 --> 02:04:11,611
Very good principle.
I hope you stick to it.
1770
02:04:11,685 --> 02:04:14,677
Oh, I have not told a lie, but I...
1771
02:04:14,755 --> 02:04:17,622
I also have not told the truth.
1772
02:04:17,691 --> 02:04:22,822
A refugee soon learns that there is
a big difference between the two.
1773
02:04:22,896 --> 02:04:27,526
The truth about me
is that I'm a tired old man...
1774
02:04:27,601 --> 02:04:30,593
who came to this country
because he's homesick.
1775
02:04:33,107 --> 02:04:38,044
Oh, please, don't stare at me like that, sir.
I'm all right in the head.
1776
02:04:38,112 --> 02:04:42,139
You know that after the war
we had very bad years in Germany.
1777
02:04:42,216 --> 02:04:46,550
We got poorer and poorer. Every day,
retired officers and school teachers...
1778
02:04:46,620 --> 02:04:48,645
were caught shoplifting.
1779
02:04:48,722 --> 02:04:53,216
Money lost its value.
The price of everything rose...
1780
02:04:53,293 --> 02:04:56,057
except of human beings.
1781
02:04:56,130 --> 02:05:00,066
We read in the papers, of course, that
the after-war years were bad everywhere.
1782
02:05:00,134 --> 02:05:02,659
That crime was increasing
and that the honest citizens...
1783
02:05:02,736 --> 02:05:05,728
were having a hard job
to put the gangsters in jail.
1784
02:05:07,975 --> 02:05:10,910
Well, I needn't tell you, sir,
that in Germany...
1785
02:05:10,978 --> 02:05:15,312
the gangsters finally succeeded
in putting the honest citizens in jail.
1786
02:05:17,551 --> 02:05:20,019
My wife was English.
1787
02:05:20,087 --> 02:05:22,749
She would have loved
to have come back to England.
1788
02:05:22,823 --> 02:05:27,590
But it seemed to me that I would
be letting down my country
in its greatest need.
1789
02:05:27,661 --> 02:05:29,993
And so she stayed at my side.
1790
02:05:31,098 --> 02:05:34,363
When, in summer '33,
1791
02:05:34,435 --> 02:05:39,702
we found that we had lost
our children to the Nazi Party,
1792
02:05:39,773 --> 02:05:42,765
and I was willing to come,
1793
02:05:42,843 --> 02:05:44,834
she died.
1794
02:05:46,013 --> 02:05:48,675
None of my sons came to her funeral.
1795
02:05:51,919 --> 02:05:53,910
Heil Hitler.
1796
02:05:56,690 --> 02:06:02,128
And then on January '35, I had to go
to Berlin on a mission for my firm.
1797
02:06:02,196 --> 02:06:06,792
Driving up in my car, I lost my way
on the outskirts of the city...
1798
02:06:06,867 --> 02:06:11,361
and suddenly the landscape
seemed so familiar to me.
1799
02:06:12,706 --> 02:06:16,142
And slowly I recognized...
1800
02:06:16,210 --> 02:06:19,475
the road, the lake...
1801
02:06:19,546 --> 02:06:23,482
and a nursing home
where I spent some weeks recovering...
1802
02:06:23,550 --> 02:06:27,486
oh, almost 40 years ago.
1803
02:06:27,554 --> 02:06:30,489
I stopped the car and sat still,
1804
02:06:30,557 --> 02:06:33,082
remembering.
1805
02:06:33,160 --> 02:06:38,154
And, you see,
in this very nursing home, sir,
1806
02:06:38,232 --> 02:06:41,497
I met my wife
for the first time...
1807
02:06:41,568 --> 02:06:44,537
and I met an Englishman
who became my greatest friend.
1808
02:06:45,839 --> 02:06:50,833
And I remembered the people
at the station in '19,
1809
02:06:50,911 --> 02:06:53,175
when we prisoners were sent home,
1810
02:06:53,247 --> 02:06:56,842
cheering us, treating us like friends.
1811
02:06:56,917 --> 02:07:01,183
The faces of a party
of distinguished men round a table...
1812
02:07:01,255 --> 02:07:03,189
who tried their utmost
to comfort me...
1813
02:07:03,257 --> 02:07:06,420
when the defeat of my country
seemed to me unbearable.
1814
02:07:07,761 --> 02:07:10,195
And...
1815
02:07:10,264 --> 02:07:12,698
very foolishly,
1816
02:07:12,766 --> 02:07:16,202
I remembered
the English countryside.
1817
02:07:16,270 --> 02:07:20,366
The gardens, the green lawns,
1818
02:07:20,440 --> 02:07:22,704
the weedy rivers and the trees...
1819
02:07:24,278 --> 02:07:26,439
she loved so much.
1820
02:07:29,283 --> 02:07:31,217
And a great desire came over me...
1821
02:07:31,285 --> 02:07:33,776
to come back
to my wife's country.
1822
02:07:37,891 --> 02:07:40,451
And this, sir, is the truth.
1823
02:08:00,314 --> 02:08:03,750
Haven't you got anyone
in this country who knows you well?
1824
02:08:03,817 --> 02:08:05,751
A British, uh, citizen?
1825
02:08:05,819 --> 02:08:07,753
The doorman at the chemical works...
1826
02:08:07,821 --> 02:08:09,914
where I offered my services.
1827
02:08:09,990 --> 02:08:13,255
Police officers at the Aliens Department
at Bow Street.
1828
02:08:13,327 --> 02:08:15,318
Constable.
1829
02:08:16,663 --> 02:08:19,723
Don't you know
Major-General Clive Wynne-Candy?
1830
02:08:21,335 --> 02:08:23,269
Yes, I used to know him.
1831
02:08:23,337 --> 02:08:26,431
Did you ask him to come here
and testify on your behalf?
1832
02:08:26,506 --> 02:08:30,169
Yes, I did send him a letter,
but I suppose he...
1833
02:08:36,583 --> 02:08:38,847
Theo! My dear chap.
1834
02:08:38,919 --> 02:08:40,853
Let's have a good look at you.
1835
02:08:40,921 --> 02:08:43,355
By God, you've kept your figure
better than I have.
1836
02:08:43,423 --> 02:08:45,357
I'm a bit of a bay window, what?
1837
02:08:45,425 --> 02:08:48,952
You see, sir, I wouldn't be surprised
if this fellow really disliked us.
1838
02:08:49,029 --> 02:08:50,963
He comes to England
twice in his life.
1839
02:08:51,031 --> 02:08:54,967
The first time he's a prisoner, and
the second time he's just about to be one.
1840
02:08:55,035 --> 02:08:59,301
May I talk to him, sir?
I haven't seen him for 19... No.
1841
02:08:59,373 --> 02:09:01,933
- Twenty.
- Twenty years and a bit.
1842
02:09:02,009 --> 02:09:05,638
Afraid not here, General. We have many
Kretschmar-Schuldorffs waiting.
1843
02:09:05,712 --> 02:09:10,979
Do you mean to say that I've traveled
11 hours from... mustn't say where...
1844
02:09:11,051 --> 02:09:13,815
and you won't allow me to have a word
with a condemned man?
1845
02:09:13,887 --> 02:09:16,651
- You don't have to go back
this minute, do you?
- Tomorrow morning, sir.
1846
02:09:16,723 --> 02:09:20,489
- Infernally early too.
- That's all right. You can talk
to him all day and all night.
1847
02:09:20,560 --> 02:09:23,461
Till midnight.
Aliens'curfew, you know.
1848
02:09:23,530 --> 02:09:26,829
- And I can take him with me?
- If you say you know him.
1849
02:09:28,902 --> 02:09:33,498
- Do I know him?
- And will stand surety for him.
1850
02:09:33,573 --> 02:09:35,564
With everything I have, sir.
1851
02:09:54,761 --> 02:09:57,252
[Grandfather Clock Chiming]
1852
02:10:01,601 --> 02:10:04,627
- Well, it's time I was going.
- The night's young yet.
1853
02:10:04,705 --> 02:10:07,367
Don't you remember?
Curfew for aliens.
1854
02:10:07,441 --> 02:10:09,671
- Oh, yes.
- I have to be at home by midnight.
1855
02:10:09,743 --> 02:10:12,143
Don't forget, sir.
You have to be up at 6:00.
1856
02:10:12,212 --> 02:10:14,146
- Early parade, eh?
- Aye.
1857
02:10:14,214 --> 02:10:16,842
How lucky you are, Clive.
1858
02:10:16,917 --> 02:10:19,943
Yes. They put me
on the retired list in '35,
1859
02:10:20,020 --> 02:10:21,954
but I knew they'd want me again.
1860
02:10:22,022 --> 02:10:24,456
Back I went on the active list
like a shot.
1861
02:10:27,294 --> 02:10:31,390
I mean, uh, why don't you stay?
1862
02:10:31,465 --> 02:10:33,399
I've 18 rooms.
1863
02:10:33,467 --> 02:10:35,799
- Murdoch, rally round.
- Thank you, Clive.
1864
02:10:35,869 --> 02:10:39,066
I'd better not.
I would need a special permit, anyway.
1865
02:10:40,407 --> 02:10:42,739
All right, Murdoch.
As you were.
1866
02:10:42,809 --> 02:10:46,074
Stay a little longer.
I'll send you home by car.
1867
02:10:46,146 --> 02:10:49,081
Murdoch, tell Miss Cannon
to be here by quarter to 12:00.
1868
02:10:49,149 --> 02:10:51,413
- Very good, sir.
- Who is Miss Cannon?
1869
02:10:51,485 --> 02:10:53,476
Miss Cannon?
My driver, M.T.C.
1870
02:10:56,656 --> 02:10:59,921
Do you remember, Clive,
we used to say...
1871
02:10:59,993 --> 02:11:05,021
"Our armies are fighting for our women,
our children and our homes"?
1872
02:11:05,098 --> 02:11:08,431
Now the women are fighting
beside the men.
1873
02:11:08,502 --> 02:11:11,266
The children are being trained
to shoot.
1874
02:11:11,338 --> 02:11:15,672
What's left is the home,
but what is the home
without women and children?
1875
02:11:17,511 --> 02:11:20,105
You never met my wife.
Would you like to see a picture of her?
1876
02:11:20,180 --> 02:11:22,273
Oh, very much.
1877
02:11:22,349 --> 02:11:24,613
[Chuckling]
1878
02:11:24,684 --> 02:11:27,778
Do you remember when that was all
I was able to say in English?
1879
02:11:28,789 --> 02:11:30,450
"Very much."
1880
02:11:32,859 --> 02:11:34,952
You got further with them
than I ever got.
1881
02:11:35,028 --> 02:11:37,622
In what respect?
1882
02:11:37,697 --> 02:11:40,291
Dash it.
Don't tell me you didn't know.
1883
02:11:40,367 --> 02:11:42,858
Knew what?
1884
02:11:42,936 --> 02:11:45,200
[Sputters]
Well, you make me blush.
1885
02:11:45,272 --> 02:11:48,070
I don't know
what you're talking about.
1886
02:11:48,141 --> 02:11:51,941
Well, I thought it was written
all over my face when I left Berlin in '02.
1887
02:11:52,012 --> 02:11:54,446
Don't forget,
I never saw your face after you'd left.
1888
02:11:56,550 --> 02:11:58,643
I was in love with her...
your wife.
1889
02:12:01,655 --> 02:12:03,589
She never told me.
1890
02:12:03,657 --> 02:12:05,887
She never knew.
1891
02:12:06,893 --> 02:12:09,157
But I seem to remem...
1892
02:12:09,229 --> 02:12:13,996
Oh, Clive, that last day in Berlin when
I told you, you seemed genuinely happy.
1893
02:12:14,067 --> 02:12:16,831
Dash it. I didn't know then.
1894
02:12:16,903 --> 02:12:19,838
But on the train
I started to miss her.
1895
02:12:19,906 --> 02:12:22,670
On the boat it was worse,
and by the time I got back to London,
1896
02:12:22,742 --> 02:12:24,676
well, I'd got it properly.
1897
02:12:24,744 --> 02:12:26,837
My Aunt Margaret got on
to the scent straight away.
1898
02:12:26,913 --> 02:12:29,677
Women have a nose
for these sort of things.
1899
02:12:29,749 --> 02:12:32,843
Besides, I did a stupid thing.
1900
02:12:32,919 --> 02:12:36,116
First night back,
I took out her sister.
1901
02:12:36,189 --> 02:12:38,453
- Aunt Margaret's?
- Edith's.
1902
02:12:38,525 --> 02:12:40,516
- Oh, Martha?
- Yes.
1903
02:12:40,594 --> 02:12:42,528
What is stupid about that?
1904
02:12:42,596 --> 02:12:44,928
Thinking her sister
would be like she was.
1905
02:12:46,266 --> 02:12:48,530
Like Edith?
1906
02:12:48,602 --> 02:12:50,593
Yes.
1907
02:12:51,605 --> 02:12:54,540
Well, you got over it.
1908
02:12:54,608 --> 02:12:57,042
That's just it.
I never got over it.
1909
02:12:57,110 --> 02:13:00,204
Theo, this may sound
a damn silly thing to say to you,
1910
02:13:00,280 --> 02:13:03,443
but... I never got over it.
1911
02:13:06,119 --> 02:13:09,611
You may say
that she was my ideal...
1912
02:13:09,689 --> 02:13:13,557
if you were some sort
of sickening, long-haired poet.
1913
02:13:13,627 --> 02:13:16,721
All my life, I've been looking
for a woman like her.
1914
02:13:17,964 --> 02:13:20,728
So now you know.
1915
02:13:20,800 --> 02:13:23,564
Well, uh, I never thought it
possible...
1916
02:13:23,637 --> 02:13:26,128
that an Englishman
could be so romantic.
1917
02:13:28,575 --> 02:13:30,509
And your wife?
1918
02:13:30,577 --> 02:13:32,568
You don't mind my asking you?
1919
02:13:32,646 --> 02:13:34,637
You loved her?
1920
02:13:34,714 --> 02:13:36,739
Yes. Dreadfully.
1921
02:13:37,817 --> 02:13:39,751
She was exactly like Edith.
1922
02:13:39,819 --> 02:13:41,810
I'll show her to you.
1923
02:13:53,300 --> 02:13:55,234
Oh, she's very lovely.
1924
02:13:55,302 --> 02:13:58,499
But isn't she like Edith, eh?
See the resemblance?
1925
02:13:58,572 --> 02:14:00,767
Yes.
1926
02:14:00,840 --> 02:14:04,105
There's something very striking.
1927
02:14:04,177 --> 02:14:08,511
But you must not forget,
I saw Edith 31 years later than you.
1928
02:14:08,582 --> 02:14:11,608
We grew old together.
1929
02:14:11,685 --> 02:14:13,619
You understand?
1930
02:14:13,687 --> 02:14:17,680
Ah. Yes, of course.
But she was exactly like her.
1931
02:14:19,326 --> 02:14:21,317
Mm.
1932
02:14:23,964 --> 02:14:27,456
It's a strange place
to hang such a lovely picture.
1933
02:14:27,534 --> 02:14:30,628
She wanted it.
I call this my den, you know?
1934
02:14:30,704 --> 02:14:34,572
She always knew I used to come
back here. We had a joke about it.
1935
02:14:34,641 --> 02:14:36,632
All my stuff's here.
1936
02:14:39,112 --> 02:14:41,603
It would be an awful gap without her.
1937
02:14:43,183 --> 02:14:45,981
Have a peg, what?
1938
02:14:46,052 --> 02:14:50,421
It must be terrible to lose someone
very dear to you in a foreign country.
1939
02:14:50,490 --> 02:14:52,981
It wasn't a foreign country.
It was Jamaica.
1940
02:15:03,737 --> 02:15:05,796
Bye, Clive.
Have a nice journey.
1941
02:15:05,872 --> 02:15:08,500
- Don't worry about anything.
Everything's under control.
- That's fine.
1942
02:15:08,575 --> 02:15:10,509
Will you close the door,
sir, please?
1943
02:15:10,577 --> 02:15:13,171
- Oh, shut up, Murdoch.
- Good luck to you, Murdoch.
1944
02:15:13,246 --> 02:15:17,012
Thank you, sir, but the general
isn't taking me. I'm staying
behind to look after things here.
1945
02:15:17,083 --> 02:15:19,347
- You know the way, Angela?
- Yes, sir.
1946
02:15:26,559 --> 02:15:29,187
[Motor Starts]
1947
02:15:29,262 --> 02:15:32,356
- The door, sir. Please!
- What, did you see the warden?
1948
02:15:32,432 --> 02:15:35,026
I'm the warden
of this district, sir.
1949
02:15:35,101 --> 02:15:38,696
Oh, it must be very difficult
to drive in a blackout.
1950
02:15:38,772 --> 02:15:40,933
It's not as bad as it looks, sir.
1951
02:15:42,275 --> 02:15:44,607
I suppose you've done
a lot of night driving.
1952
02:15:44,678 --> 02:15:48,705
No, sir.
I never drove before the war.
1953
02:15:48,782 --> 02:15:52,047
- What made you learn it?
- My boyfriend taught me.
1954
02:15:52,118 --> 02:15:54,450
But not at night.
1955
02:15:54,521 --> 02:15:57,979
- Is he a good driver?
- Oh, first-rate.
1956
02:15:58,058 --> 02:16:00,151
He's one of the Bentley boys...
1957
02:16:00,226 --> 02:16:02,558
just now he walks
on his two flat feet.
1958
02:16:02,629 --> 02:16:04,995
He's a private in training.
1959
02:16:06,199 --> 02:16:08,724
What was your job
before the war, Miss Cannon?
1960
02:16:08,802 --> 02:16:11,794
- Photographic model.
- Oh? Interesting work.
1961
02:16:12,872 --> 02:16:14,965
Not bad.
Bit hard on the feet.
1962
02:16:16,776 --> 02:16:18,801
How did you know my name, sir?
1963
02:16:18,878 --> 02:16:21,244
The general talked about you.
1964
02:16:21,314 --> 02:16:24,249
Oh, did he?
1965
02:16:24,317 --> 02:16:27,411
- Mind if we try and beat the light, sir?
- No, not at all.
1966
02:16:27,487 --> 02:16:30,752
[Motor Rewing]
1967
02:16:30,824 --> 02:16:34,316
Oh. Sorry, sir.
Couldn't make it.
1968
02:16:35,428 --> 02:16:37,760
You like being the general's driver?
1969
02:16:37,831 --> 02:16:40,265
Of course. Who wouldn't?
He's such an old darling.
1970
02:16:40,333 --> 02:16:43,200
I could have done a handstand
when he asked for me.
1971
02:16:43,269 --> 02:16:45,601
You know, he chose me
out of 700 girls, sir.
1972
02:16:46,840 --> 02:16:49,070
Some odds, isn't it?
700-to-1.
1973
02:16:49,142 --> 02:16:52,908
For crying out loud. Look at that light.
He ought to be reported.
1974
02:16:56,683 --> 02:16:59,447
Oh, come on.
Don't be all night.
1975
02:17:01,454 --> 02:17:04,514
Ah.
1976
02:17:06,526 --> 02:17:08,619
That's what causes accidents.
1977
02:17:14,367 --> 02:17:16,301
Long odds, weren't they, sir?
1978
02:17:16,369 --> 02:17:19,463
- I beg your pardon?
- Seven hundred-to-one.
1979
02:17:19,539 --> 02:17:22,235
Makes me a bit of an outsider.
1980
02:17:25,378 --> 02:17:27,812
What is your first name, Miss Cannon?
1981
02:17:27,881 --> 02:17:29,815
Angela.
1982
02:17:29,883 --> 02:17:32,044
It's a lovely name.
1983
02:17:32,118 --> 02:17:34,052
Comes from "angel," doesn't it?
1984
02:17:34,120 --> 02:17:37,783
I think it stinks.
My friends call meJohnny.
1985
02:17:39,993 --> 02:17:42,655
Is it this crossing
or the next, sir?
1986
02:17:42,729 --> 02:17:45,095
Oh, this will do here.
1987
02:17:50,170 --> 02:17:52,502
- Good night, Angela.
- Good night, sir.
1988
02:17:52,572 --> 02:17:55,302
I'd like to see your boyfriend
one of these days.
1989
02:17:55,375 --> 02:17:57,206
Me too.
Good night, sir.
1990
02:18:08,922 --> 02:18:11,686
[Exhales Deeply]
1991
02:18:11,758 --> 02:18:13,919
[Buzzer]
1992
02:18:17,263 --> 02:18:19,197
He's on his way down now.
1993
02:18:19,265 --> 02:18:21,859
For the love of Gielgud, go and stop him
as he gets out of the lift.
1994
02:18:21,935 --> 02:18:25,371
- If you let him put one whisker
inside the studio, you are-
- Out.
1995
02:18:25,438 --> 02:18:28,373
- Thank you, sir. This way, General.
- Thank you.
1996
02:18:28,441 --> 02:18:31,035
- General Wynne-Candy?
- This way to Studio Five, sir.
1997
02:18:31,110 --> 02:18:33,374
- Mr. Herbert Marsh would like to see you.
- Never heard of him.
1998
02:18:33,446 --> 02:18:35,539
- Yes, but he's heard of you, sir.
- Has he? Good.
1999
02:18:35,615 --> 02:18:39,210
- It's this way to Studio Five.
- What time does my broadcast
start, precisely?
2000
02:18:39,285 --> 02:18:41,549
- Well, almost at 1:00, sir.
- At 21:20, sir.
2001
02:18:41,621 --> 02:18:44,954
- Plenty of time.
- Excuse me, miss...
- Oh, shut up.
2002
02:18:47,293 --> 02:18:49,557
- Sorry, old chap.
- A regular warren, eh?
2003
02:18:49,629 --> 02:18:51,961
- [Chuckles] Yes.
- Beehive of industry.
2004
02:18:52,031 --> 02:18:53,965
- Yes, sir.
- Do you like working here?
2005
02:18:54,033 --> 02:18:56,092
Very much.
You meet such interesting people.
2006
02:18:56,169 --> 02:18:58,103
You can tell that from the programs.
2007
02:18:58,171 --> 02:19:00,162
General Wynne-Candy.
2008
02:19:02,308 --> 02:19:03,332
Whew.
2009
02:19:03,409 --> 02:19:05,343
- I don't think I've met you, sir.
- No.
2010
02:19:05,411 --> 02:19:07,902
- Afraid I've not had that pleasure.
Won't you sit down?
- Thank you.
2011
02:19:07,981 --> 02:19:09,915
- Cigarette?
- Thank you.
2012
02:19:09,983 --> 02:19:12,247
Pretty snug quarters you've got here.
And deep.
2013
02:19:12,318 --> 02:19:14,809
- Yes. We have to be deep these days.
- I quite agree.
2014
02:19:14,888 --> 02:19:18,915
Back to the Stone Age, what?
I don't think I'll light this
at the moment, if you don't mind.
2015
02:19:18,992 --> 02:19:20,926
Bad for speaking.
Makes the throat dry.
2016
02:19:20,994 --> 02:19:23,258
Hmm. General, um,
2017
02:19:23,329 --> 02:19:25,763
I'm afraid we've been having
a little trouble about your broadcast.
2018
02:19:25,832 --> 02:19:27,925
Well, I'm used to trouble.
I'm a soldier.
2019
02:19:28,001 --> 02:19:31,767
Yes. The, uh, authorities...
2020
02:19:31,838 --> 02:19:33,772
think that it's a little ill-timed...
2021
02:19:33,840 --> 02:19:36,331
and, uh, might
be better postponed.
2022
02:19:37,844 --> 02:19:41,439
Think it's a little ill-timed?
2023
02:19:41,514 --> 02:19:44,039
Who has been saying that?
Why?
2024
02:19:44,117 --> 02:19:46,950
Well, General, you know,
in times of war...
2025
02:19:47,020 --> 02:19:49,784
Don't talk to me about war.
2026
02:19:49,856 --> 02:19:53,622
No. Of course.
That would be, um, grotesque.
2027
02:19:53,693 --> 02:19:56,287
I have been asked to
describe in this broadcast...
2028
02:19:56,362 --> 02:19:59,297
my views on the cause of the retreat
and its aspects for the future.
2029
02:19:59,365 --> 02:20:02,801
There they are. I've been serving
my country for 44 years.
2030
02:20:02,869 --> 02:20:04,962
What was your position
before this one, eh?
2031
02:20:05,038 --> 02:20:06,972
- A lawyer.
- What? A lawyer?
2032
02:20:07,040 --> 02:20:08,974
Well, I was a soldier.
2033
02:20:09,042 --> 02:20:10,976
And before that,
I suppose you were in college.
2034
02:20:11,044 --> 02:20:12,978
And I was a soldier.
2035
02:20:13,046 --> 02:20:15,480
And I was a soldier
when you were a baby.
2036
02:20:15,548 --> 02:20:17,311
And before you were born, sir,
2037
02:20:17,383 --> 02:20:19,817
when you were nothing but a toss-up
between a girl's and a boy's name,
2038
02:20:19,886 --> 02:20:22,047
I was a soldier then.
2039
02:20:27,560 --> 02:20:29,824
I'm deeply sorry, sir.
2040
02:20:29,896 --> 02:20:34,663
- I know it's not you.
- No. I'm afraid it isn't.
2041
02:20:34,734 --> 02:20:38,170
I'll make the necessary inquiries
through the War Office.
2042
02:20:38,237 --> 02:20:41,331
- I'll have a light for this cigarette now,
if you please.
- Yes.
2043
02:20:41,407 --> 02:20:44,342
[Man] Malta this morning
had its 25th air raid...
2044
02:20:44,410 --> 02:20:46,844
since Italy entered the war
last Monday.
2045
02:20:46,913 --> 02:20:50,349
It's not known if there was
any damage or casualties.
2046
02:20:50,416 --> 02:20:53,010
- Cigarette, soldier?
- [Newscaster] In yesterday's raids,
2047
02:20:53,086 --> 02:20:56,078
one civilian was killed
and eight were wounded.
2048
02:20:58,424 --> 02:21:01,860
That brings us to the end of the news
and to tonight's postscript,
2049
02:21:01,928 --> 02:21:04,362
which is given by Mr.J. B. Priestly.
2050
02:21:06,499 --> 02:21:08,433
What on earth
could have happened?
2051
02:21:08,501 --> 02:21:11,868
- Murdoch, you think he's had an accident?
- I cannot think, miss.
2052
02:21:11,938 --> 02:21:13,872
I was expecting it.
2053
02:21:13,940 --> 02:21:16,374
- Why?
- I've read his speech.
2054
02:21:16,442 --> 02:21:18,376
I thought they would cancel it.
2055
02:21:18,444 --> 02:21:23,040
- [Door Opens]
- [Newscaster, Indistinct]
2056
02:21:23,116 --> 02:21:25,050
- It's him.
- [Door Shuts]
2057
02:21:25,118 --> 02:21:29,919
[Newscaster] Sorry about the slight
delay. Now here is Mr. Priestly.
2058
02:21:29,989 --> 02:21:32,150
Murdoch, where can I go?
The general mustn't find me here.
2059
02:21:32,225 --> 02:21:35,626
- Let me handle it.
- Oh, no fear. Let me out of here.
2060
02:21:46,305 --> 02:21:48,569
Hello, Theo.
2061
02:21:48,641 --> 02:21:51,667
If supper's ready,
you can serve it, Murdoch.
2062
02:21:51,744 --> 02:21:56,078
- I'm very sorry, sir. I shouldn't be here.
- Hmm? Why?
2063
02:21:56,149 --> 02:21:59,710
I asked Miss Cannon to come in.
She was anxious to hear your broadcast.
2064
02:21:59,786 --> 02:22:01,754
Canceled at the last minute.
2065
02:22:01,821 --> 02:22:03,686
Pity we hurried as we did, Angela.
2066
02:22:03,756 --> 02:22:06,589
We didn't leave the War Office
till 5-and-20 to 9:00.
2067
02:22:06,659 --> 02:22:10,151
There's a War Office letter for you
there, sir. It came this afternoon.
2068
02:22:10,229 --> 02:22:13,926
Paul Reynaud has resigned.
Petain is Prime Minister.
2069
02:22:14,000 --> 02:22:16,093
- [Theo] Bad news.
- What? Oh, yes.
2070
02:22:16,169 --> 02:22:18,160
Bad news.
2071
02:22:26,112 --> 02:22:28,376
[Murdoch]
Sherry, sir?
2072
02:22:28,448 --> 02:22:30,439
Mm. Yes.
2073
02:22:36,589 --> 02:22:39,558
[Murdoch]
Sherry, miss?
2074
02:22:39,625 --> 02:22:42,753
- [Murdoch] Sherry, Mr. Sch... sir?
- Yes, please.
2075
02:22:55,608 --> 02:22:57,667
Thank you.
2076
02:23:00,046 --> 02:23:03,140
How is your fiancé
2077
02:23:03,216 --> 02:23:05,878
- He's not my fiancé
- Oh, beg your pardon.
2078
02:23:07,220 --> 02:23:09,984

Will you want the car anymore?
2089

[Murdoch] I've brought
an extra cover, sir.

Sit down, both of you.
2091

- Thank you, sir. I've had my dinner.
- Have another one, Angela.
2092
02:24:07,113 --> 02:24:11,209
If you're worrying about sitting down
with your general, then stop worrying.
2093
02:24:11,284 --> 02:24:13,275
I'm not a general anymore.

- Retired again.

They don't need me anymore.
2096

Sorry, sir.

- No, you don't.

when it happened to me.

nor am I... just starting.

2102
02:24:44,483 --> 02:24:46,815

awful waste.

count for nothing, eh?

2106

- You tell me.
- It is a different knowledge
they need now, Clive.
2107
02:24:58,998 --> 02:25:02,092
The enemy's different
so you have to be different too.

- I don't agree.
- You...
2110
02:25:07,173 --> 02:25:12,110
I read your broadcast up to the point
where you described
the collapse of France.
2111
02:25:12,178 --> 02:25:16,342
You commented on Nazi methods...
foul fighting, bombing refugees,
2112
02:25:16,415 --> 02:25:20,112
machine-gunning hospitals, lifeboats,
lightships, bailed-out pilots and so on...
2113
02:25:20,186 --> 02:25:22,620
by saying that you despised them,
2114
02:25:22,688 --> 02:25:25,282
that you would be ashamed
to fight on their side...
2115
02:25:25,358 --> 02:25:28,953
and that you'd sooner
accept defeat than victory...
2116
02:25:29,028 --> 02:25:31,462
if it could only be won
by those methods!
2117
02:25:31,530 --> 02:25:33,555
So I would.
2118
02:25:33,633 --> 02:25:38,297
Clive, if you let yourself
be defeated by them...
2119
02:25:38,371 --> 02:25:41,807
just because you are
too fair to hit back...
2120
02:25:41,874 --> 02:25:44,138
the same way they hit at you,
2121
02:25:45,544 --> 02:25:49,002
there won't be any methods
but Nazi methods.
2122
02:25:49,081 --> 02:25:51,641
If you preach
the rules of the game,
2123
02:25:51,717 --> 02:25:55,813
while they use every foul
and filthy trick against you,
2124
02:25:55,888 --> 02:25:58,823
they'll laugh at you.
2125
02:25:58,891 --> 02:26:02,054
They'll think you're weak, decadent.
2126
02:26:04,730 --> 02:26:07,722
I thought so myself in 1919.
2127
02:26:07,800 --> 02:26:09,825
I heard all that in the last war.
2128
02:26:09,902 --> 02:26:12,996
They fought foul then,
and who won it?
2129
02:26:14,240 --> 02:26:16,333
I don't think you won it.
2130
02:26:16,409 --> 02:26:20,004
We lost it,
but you lost something too.
2131
02:26:20,079 --> 02:26:22,309
You forgot to learn the moral.
2132
02:26:23,983 --> 02:26:26,008
Because victory was yours,
2133
02:26:26,085 --> 02:26:29,077
you failed to learn your lesson
20 years ago,
2134
02:26:29,155 --> 02:26:31,248
and now you have to pay
the school fees again.
2135
02:26:31,324 --> 02:26:34,293
Some of you will learn
quicker than the others.
2136
02:26:34,360 --> 02:26:36,294
Some will never learn it,
2137
02:26:36,362 --> 02:26:38,853
because you've been educated
to be a gentleman...
2138
02:26:38,931 --> 02:26:41,525
and a sportsman
in peace and in war.
2139
02:26:41,600 --> 02:26:43,625
But, Clive,
2140
02:26:44,937 --> 02:26:47,132
dear old Clive,
2141
02:26:48,841 --> 02:26:52,038
this is not a gentleman's war.
2142
02:26:52,111 --> 02:26:56,707
This time you're fighting
for your very existence...
2143
02:26:56,782 --> 02:27:01,617
against the most devilish idea
ever created by a human brain.
2144
02:27:02,655 --> 02:27:04,850
Nazism.
2145
02:27:04,924 --> 02:27:07,984
And if you lose,
2146
02:27:08,060 --> 02:27:11,894
there won't be
a return match next year.
2147
02:27:11,964 --> 02:27:14,626
Perhaps not even for 100 years.
2148
02:27:25,478 --> 02:27:27,810
Well, you...
2149
02:27:27,880 --> 02:27:32,340
You mustn't mind me,
an alien, saying all this.
2150

better than one who's been bitten...

You too, eh?
Kick a fellow when he's down, what?
2156
02:27:58,577 --> 02:28:00,943
Nobody would ever kick you, sir.
2157
02:28:01,013 --> 02:28:03,447
You've just got to change over,
that's all.
2158
02:28:03,516 --> 02:28:05,507
Change over to what?
2159

Well, a new job.
It's easy enough for a man.

by storm 40 years ago?
