00:02:30You
00:02:40I've seen countless men come to this place
00:02:46Although their lives depend upon it they cannot change
00:02:51Yet others
00:02:54Are changed forever
00:02:57It feels like a lifetime has passed since I swore my earth to grace
00:03:02That I'd return to her unharmed
00:03:05They are others words
00:03:07Arthur died a long time ago
00:03:13Wilkins is all I answer to now
00:03:26I
00:03:49Feel that if I see her again
00:03:52She will look into my eyes and no longer see the man that she loves
00:03:57I feared this more than the enemy
00:04:01More than death

00:36:56Holly McCallister
00:37:04Oh, it's been a hard year almost three
00:37:35I
00:37:40Do you remember who you were when we first met
00:37:46Don't be too hard on yourself sir
00:37:50You decide this man, aren't I
00:37:58I've been out here so long. I can't see her face
00:38:05I
00:38:08Don't close my eyes. It's just this photo that I see
00:38:13It's still enough
00:38:17It's enough to get you back home
00:38:20I
00:38:33May I see sir
00:38:50I
00:38:53Don't have anyone like this waiting for me
00:38:56Wish I did
00:38:59I'd carry a picture of me man with me, but they'll have to give me shite about that all day
00:39:06But I know she's there waiting for me nonetheless
00:39:19I
00:39:50I
00:40:01I'm sorry mrs. Wilkins. I can't help you I
00:40:05Took a huge risk coming here. I'm not fit to carry this child
00:40:12You helped that lady from Wessex
00:40:15She had a medical condition that endangered her life. You are healthy
00:40:19There's more of risk here than just my license to practice
00:40:24It's out of the question I'm afraid I'm sorry no
00:40:30Please I'm desperate I can pay
00:40:35The nurse will talk to you about your health during pregnancy, but I have other patients waiting
00:40:50Oh
00:41:12Wait up just wait you all right, just take a minute
00:41:19Okay, when you're ready, I'm all right just take it easy
00:41:34How long's your husband been away
00:41:41My fiancee was sent to Europe me three years ago
00:41:49It was at the West Front last I heard haven't had a letter in over a year
00:41:56Last one I got so many holes cut through it. It's enough to catch the sentiment, but I
00:42:03Can't stop worrying
00:42:09He'd be devastated I can't let him suffer this well you can move away have the child and adopt out no way to go
00:42:17And if my family were to learn of it, they'd disown me I'd have nothing to come back to
00:42:23Just don't make any rash decisions until you've really thought you through
00:42:29You're not the only one grace
00:42:38I should go
00:42:40Sorry, would you have anyone to stay with you? It's not a good idea for you to be alone right now
00:42:44I'll be fine. Oh grace wait I
00:42:54Could use some company
00:43:14Oh
00:43:44I
00:44:07Need to get him to cover
00:44:14I
00:44:41Think
00:44:45Earlier give me a rifle
00:44:52You think you can get the other sling
00:44:59Yes, all right off you go boy be quick
00:45:15Oh
00:45:30What time are the big boys gonna light up
00:45:35You might yell before the boy, but I seen that look before
00:45:382100
00:45:46We don't have much time
00:45:50What'd you tell him he's got enough to worry about
00:45:56Poor boy
00:45:59Poor boy
00:46:01You know I found him face first in the mud hiding like a coward
00:46:05He'd sooner make a run for it than to stay here and help you
00:46:10Don't be too hard on him, sir
00:46:15What's I remember any of us being particularly brave when we first got here
00:46:24Wow
00:46:27He could have stayed out there
00:46:29But he's here with us
00:46:32Let's go count for something
00:46:35So it's
00:46:39He's just a boy
00:46:54Good job that Larry well done
00:46:57I
00:47:02Figure it's better than no helmet at all
00:47:09All right, I have to try a slow this bleeding
00:47:21You ready all right
00:47:27I
00:47:57Oh
00:48:27Like for us
00:48:57I
00:49:27Well, that's it it's all over I'm gonna get a serious rash if I stay in these wet trousers
00:49:48How's the leg
00:49:57Hello, sir, it's just a flesh wound
00:50:18Just being able to talk about this without someone looking down their nose at me nice
00:50:27I've seen what an unwanted child can do to a family
00:50:32My sister
00:50:36Father only saw the shame that he brought down on the family
00:50:41Did you help her
00:50:47No, she had the baby and gives her the nice family in Surrey last time
00:50:58I
00:51:06Know why you came to see dr. Bennett. I've seen how these procedures work and I strongly urge you to reconsider
00:51:16So I can suffer the same shame as your sister
00:51:27Sometimes Millie cries herself to sleep at night
00:51:30Wondering what he looks like what sort of man or grow up to be but at least you made my decision you
00:51:38Well
00:51:43I'm sorry to hear that
00:51:57You've seen these procedures
00:52:01You said it yourself
00:52:03No, Grace Eve, please you have to do this for me. I'm not a doctor. I'm not trained for this
00:52:11There's no one else I
00:52:17Know what I'm asking of you, but this isn't about me
00:52:27I couldn't bear it if Arthur arrived home to more pain than he'd do it out there
00:52:30And how much pain would you cause him if you were to die?
00:52:41Would your fiance still have you if you were carrying another man's child
00:52:57I
00:52:59Have a picture of him
00:53:02Your husband
00:53:21I hope he's worth the grace
00:53:27I
00:53:51That's a hell of a thing you did for me sir all three of us are getting out of here private
00:53:57Hi, sir
00:54:05Sir I mean no disrespect, but I can't help thinking there's something you're not telling me and what makes you say that
00:54:12Every chance you get you're looking at your watch
00:54:19Whatever it is I can handle it
00:54:27I
00:54:36Alright then
00:54:38We failed in taking the trenches back
00:54:42So 2100 hours the big boys will be smashing these lines again
00:54:46hard
00:54:492100
00:54:5120 minutes
00:54:53I
00:54:55We're closer we can make it
00:54:58There's a medics keep caught in the barbed wire not 10 yards away if we can patch him up. We might have a chance
00:55:09All right, it's worth a shot cover me
00:55:19You ready all right
00:55:23I
00:55:53I
00:56:23I
00:56:53I
00:57:23I
00:57:25I
00:57:55I
00:58:25I
00:58:34Our boys must know we're out here, right
00:58:36Don't stop the bombing. I mean
00:58:39They'll have to I
00:58:42Think it's safe to assume. They have no idea
00:58:45When the bombardment starts will make a run for it. I think I'll have a better chance of making it if we stick together
00:58:51Sir
00:58:57He'll make it
00:59:01What if it were Frankie lying here, sir
00:59:04Would you still be risking our lives for him
00:59:09You think because a man has his eyes closed he can't hear you
00:59:13He's a hundred times the man you are
00:59:16The only reason he's here dying is because he had the courage to do his duty
00:59:21the matters
00:59:30The man's a hero and he's coming home with us
00:59:46I understand that sir, but we're running out of time
00:59:51And if what you're saying is true
00:59:54That no one knows we're out here
00:59:56Then when the big boys blast this place to hell
00:59:59We'll all be dead in seconds
01:00:06Then that's the way it's going to be and discussion
01:00:21Oh
01:00:30Sir that's not how it's gonna be I
01:00:35Can go and get help I'll bring the cavalry back sir, I promise
01:00:51I
01:01:21I
01:01:45Think so Fritz wait
01:01:48It's one of us
01:01:51I
01:01:53Damn fool
01:01:55He'll blow the whole thing
01:01:58Cut him down. Do not let him reach the trench. It's not him down now
01:02:22Don't shoot don't shoot shoot him man
01:02:39Alfie's almost there
01:02:51I

01:08:01If we can get back to our trench or at least what's left of it

01:28:04My dearest grace
01:28:08It's a strange fate that brings me home to you

01:28:17Yet equally feared
01:28:40A
01:28:49Close friend reminded me recently

01:29:27Not for my absence when you needed me the most
01:29:30I
01:29:35Know I've I've learned a lot about myself this past months
01:29:43The hardest lesson to come to terms with is why I lost you
