Lieutenant.
It’s been two days now, and not a sound,
no gunfire, no grenades, no shelling…
nothing.
They’ve either deserted or…
Lieutenant?
Yes.
Fix bayonets.
I’ll get the men ready.
On the whistle!
Full charge!
Over the top!
Ah!
What the hell is that?
It’s a camel spider.
It’s bad news mate.
Lieutenant!
Hey hey!
Shut up, shut up!
Yes you are in trouble…
You’re up shit creek, mate… C’mon… You’re fucked I know!
Hold your fire. Hold your fire… Peters!
Look at him!
What the fuck are you saying?
Andrews!
What happened here?
Shut the fuck up… Shut the fuck up!
Shh!
Andrews!… Andrews!
Sir!
He said they were digging, found something
something inside the trench tunnel.
The tunnel!
Yep, you’re fucked now, you’re fucked now, mate, I know.
He said they took everyone
In the tunnel.
Shut up, shut up!
Hold!
… The tunnel!
Those words,
he keeps repeating them:
“Black devil”
Sit the fuck down, sit the fuck down.
In the tunnel,
They mostly come at night.
Tunnel…
tunnel… tunnel!
Show me!
Shut him up!
Get him out of here!
Yeah!
You shut your fucking mouth!
Andrews!
Peters!
Get me some light.
Hey, Andrews!
Being in a hole this dirty reminds me… how is your sister? She good?
About the same as yours, mate.
That’s not very nice.
Shut up, Peters.
What the fuck is that?
There’s something buried in here.
Bloody smells like it,
looks like a ship.
Ha, can’t be…
We’re more than forty miles away from the sea.
It just keeps on going… and going.
Shall we move forward?
No.
Let’s get out of here.
Right now.
I want two men and a Vickers!
Anything comes out of this tunnel…
Rain in hell fire!
What do you think is going on here?
Ten years ago now,
in the Boer War,
I was fighting with the Lancashire Regiment.
We were reinforcements,
marching through some really bad lands.
We happened upon an old abandoned fort.
So we pulled up,
made camp.
I remember thinking
there was just nothing for miles around.
I awoke in the middle of the night
to screaming.
One of the men were being attacked by…
something.
It quickly descended into chaos.
There was gunfire… everywhere.
But nothing seemed to stop it.
It just kept coming back for us.
We’d had enough,
I’d had enough,
so we set alight to the bush,
surround it… flush it out.
Nowhere to go, you see.
And it was then…
I saw it…
through the flames.
It was a lion.
A bloody big bastard,
black…
from all the smoke.
Black as night.
It just stood there,
holding its ground,
looking straight at me,
looking straight into my eyes,
almost as if it were trying to tell me something.
And what do you think that was?
That this is my land
you’ve marched onto
and your not welcome!
Whatever it is out there
managed to wipe out an entire battalion
in one single night.
Reinforcements will be here in a week.
I’m not taking any chances.
Lieutenant… The tunnel!
Ah!
Hold your fire, dammit!
Help me!
Hold him!
Get the gas.
Chlorine gas.
Gas!
Get the gas!
Masks on!
Choke the bastards out!
Give it everything you’ve got!
I think that’s just pissed them off
Peters… grenade!
Get back!
Ah!
King and Country!
Come on you fuckers!
Back to the trench!
What the hell is going on out there!?
Get on that Vickers!
We’re fucked, huh?
The fuck are those things, huh?
Fuck off, fuck off!
See that shit, Lieutenant, huh?
What the fuck was that, huh?
Good to go!
Here they come!
What the fuck was that, huh?
What the fuck was it?
Jackson!
He’s gone!
It’s coming down! Move it!
Get back!
Get out of here!
I’ve got him!
C’mon you ugly fuck!
That was Andrews… fuck, fuck!
They got Andrews man!
Pull yourself together
and guard the damm trench!
Lieutenant, what are you doing?
What are you doing!?
Oh, that’s a great idea, Lieutenant… Great!
Give the Turk a gun! Awesome! Fuck me!
Lieutenant, what ever you’re going to do, do it fast please!
Fuckin’ get in, get in… Move, move!
Lieutenant!
Dine on this!
Fuck!
Go! go!
Ah!
Kill!
Kill them all!
Ah!
It just
stood there,
holding its ground,
looking straight into my eyes,
almost as if it were trying to tell me something.
And what do you think that was?
That this is my land
you’ve marched onto.
and your not welcome!
