that's what you told me that time when
00:08:38
you were on the wheel
00:08:40
had time when i had you done for being
00:08:42
drunk and disorderly
00:08:45
the chosen one
00:08:55
well i hope you've learned your lesson
00:08:57
your 14 days are nearly up
00:08:58
got anything to say i'd stand clear if i
00:09:00
were you captain
00:09:02
i'm about to pee myself hell man this
00:09:05
wheel could break anyone
00:09:06
you've been on this wheel for weeks
00:09:08
hours is a time and you're
00:09:10
still a grim insubordinate little
00:09:11
bastard
00:09:13
will you never learn and i've learned
00:09:15
not to get caught next time if that's
00:09:16
what you mean sir
00:09:18
i've learned that the trench lasts love
00:09:19
a man like me
00:09:21
one that can't pinch them off i've
00:09:23
learned that the english army is full of
00:09:25
sadists
00:09:26
that won't let a man as he's about to
00:09:28
die enjoy himself in any way
00:09:30
shape or form i've learned that i can
00:09:33
take a lot of pain
00:09:34
i know it's going to end without me
00:09:36
dying is that what you mean sir you know
00:09:38
damned well it isn't
00:09:40
look i know you're a fine soldier some
00:09:43
would say the best in the regiment
00:09:44
but you're a loose cannon someone could
00:09:47
lose a life because of you
00:09:48
many already have captain i'm not
00:09:50
talking about germans i'm talking about
00:09:52
our own men
00:09:54
so what i said
00:10:01
now in your own words tell me exactly
00:10:04
what happened on that night in
00:10:06
hull well it were a normal kind of thing
00:10:09
the kind of thing what you expect when
00:10:10
men have had a bit too much to drink
00:10:12
that was just minding me on business
00:10:15
doing what i was doing
00:10:16
i might have been writing to my mother
00:10:19
she's on her own you know
00:10:22
anyway i was doing something can't
00:10:23
remember what when this soldier walks in
00:10:27
well we've had words before but this
00:10:30
time he went just a bit
00:10:31
too far there's only so much a man can
00:10:35
take
00:10:36
well i wasn't having that kind of
00:10:37
language insulting
00:10:39
is what it was so i got up on a clockton
00:10:42
one oh good
00:10:43
god man don't you realize a blow from
00:10:45
someone like you could kill somebody
00:10:46
never have before never did anyone
00:10:49
permanent damage in the ring before
00:10:50
well you were wearing gloves didn't
00:10:52
always wear gloves
00:10:53
anyway he went down out like a light
00:10:57
perfect topper cut to the chin
00:11:01
well i didn't kill him i saw he was out
00:11:04
loud so i splashed him with water and
00:11:07
slapped his face a bit soon enough he
00:11:09
was moaning and groaning like a woman
00:11:11
having a baby
00:11:12
he was alive oh yeah and well enough to
00:11:14
see as it was me as i'd woke him
00:11:17
he just pushed me off got up and walked
00:11:19
out
00:11:20
i never followed him i never touched him
00:11:22
again
00:11:23
i watched him go staggering like the
00:11:26
drunk he was
00:11:27
and did you see him fall i saw him
00:11:29
stumble
00:11:30
but no i never saw him fall
00:11:34
the next i knows is it's morning and the
00:11:36
military police are dragging me out of
00:11:38
bed saying as
00:11:38
i'd murdered him i tell you it wasn't no
00:11:42
murder
00:11:43
he was alive when he left and i never
00:11:45
hit him that bad
00:11:46
you knocked him out i did
00:11:49
and it was a sight to see just like the
00:11:53
old days
00:11:54
the old days in india
00:11:58
well boldsworth no amount of fame will
00:12:02
help you now
00:12:04
it's manslaughter you're up for and
00:12:05
unless i see some evidence to the
00:12:07
contrary it very much does look like
00:12:08
this man died of a concussion
00:12:10
caused by you're hitting him and
00:12:12
knocking him out
00:12:13
i appreciate you never intended to kill
00:12:16
i'm so mindful of the fact that your cat
00:12:18
your officers have
00:12:20
grouped together to pay for your offense
00:12:22
that says a lot about a man
00:12:24
you're obviously popular and a good
00:12:25
soldier but
00:12:27
this is a court of law i must stick to
00:12:29
the evidence
00:12:35
but you got off didn't you bolsworth
00:12:39
someone testified and said that they saw
00:12:40
the dead man fall and hit his head
00:12:43
several times on his way back to bed
00:12:44
that night
00:12:46
you had a good lawyer you were lucky
00:12:48
nothing lucky about
00:12:49
it sir i spoke the truth my officers
00:12:53
believed me and that counted for a lot
00:12:56
besides i wasn't destined to die that
00:12:58
day
00:13:00
i'm destined for greatness that's why
00:13:03
they call me togo
00:13:05
told druid speak for the chosen one
00:13:08
the chosen one chosen for what great
00:13:11
things captain
00:13:13
great things am i to even win this war
00:13:16
for you
00:13:18
if you ever let me fight it
00:13:21
well your time's up you're free to go
00:13:26
if i catch you again it'll be two months
00:13:27
next time two months do you hear me
00:13:30
no man chosen or not will be able to
00:13:32
survive the wheel for that time
00:13:33
no sir if that's all sir
00:13:36
i'd like to rejoin the men and have a
00:13:38
drink
00:13:40
you'll never learn will you bolswell too
00:13:42
old for new ways captain
00:13:44
thank you for the little heart to art
00:13:56
well private it looks as if they've
00:13:57
shipped poorly sir
00:13:59
it's a nasty wound lucky devil
00:14:02
not like jose no sir
00:14:06
or poor old bolsworth no sir
00:14:09
he thought he was invincible thought
00:14:12
he'd never die
00:14:14
some strange belief he had about himself
00:14:17
you were a good man captain the lads
00:14:20
loved him
00:14:21
made them laugh gave them hope
00:14:24
a huge gap in the battalion now that
00:14:26
he's gone
00:14:28
yes you're right of course he was a hero
00:14:32
a drunken arrogant insulin bloody man at
00:14:34
times
00:14:36
but a hero get the men together
00:14:40
get the padre we'll say some prayers
00:14:48
again would you believe it he's gone and
00:14:50
done it again all
00:14:52
india champion oh he was ruthless
00:14:55
when he's in that ring it's like he's
00:14:57
not a human being
00:14:58
he's not normal he's a machine he feels
00:15:01
nothing he can take anything and then
00:15:04
bam
00:15:05
they're down and they're out well all i
00:15:08
can say
00:15:09
is that i'm glad that he's my friend and
00:15:12
as my friend
00:15:13
he's helped me to win a hundred pounds
00:15:16
you put money on him to win oh don't
00:15:17
tell me you did it i didn't
00:15:19
what so you bet on him lose it wasn't
00:15:21
his weight was it
00:15:22

00:15:25

00:15:27
title
00:15:29

00:15:30
rubbish do you well don't you now after
00:15:32
what you've just seen
00:15:34
i don't know it's the last time i bet
00:15:37
against him that's for sure
00:15:38

00:21:59
bouncing we've got lots of things
00:22:00
you haven't forgotten wretch well that
00:22:02
was different there that fight
00:22:04
have we yet
00:22:07
never mind i've been a fool
00:22:25
the way you treated beth justin what you
00:22:27
said to this soldier that was just
00:22:28
awful you shouldn't have done that what
00:22:30
do you mean the fact that i forgot who
00:22:32
she was
00:22:32
well i shouldn't have forgotten him she
00:22:34
was just a factory tar she never meant
00:22:36
anything well she means something to me
00:22:38
what's he mean to you
00:22:39
you're old enough to be a dad you're not
00:22:41
a dad ah yeah i knew her dad
00:22:44
he was a mate and then he was killed
00:22:46
she's got no one now no one to laugh
00:22:48
after her
00:22:48
so it's up to me very noble i'm sure but
00:22:51
there's more important things in this
00:22:53
world than remembering the name of the
00:22:54
first woman you ever kissed
00:22:56
there's a war on or haven't you known
00:22:58
because i've noticed
00:22:59
i notice every time i read my paper or i
00:23:02
see another ice cream down the street
00:23:03
draped in a flag
00:23:05
or on a sunday at church when the pews
00:23:07
are filled with weeping old women and
00:23:08
their grandkids
00:23:09
there may well be a bloody war but it
00:23:12
doesn't stop us
00:23:13
being human because as soon as we stop
00:23:16
we may as well throw in the towel we'll
00:23:18
have lost
00:23:20
that's what's happening to you you're
00:23:22
not booming
00:23:23

00:23:26
machine are you finished no i have not

00:26:28
yourself and to my men
00:26:30

an example of
00:26:34

say is
00:26:38
it was worth it do you know why i do it

00:27:10
while that i'm a human
00:27:11

00:27:18
on the others the rest of my men
00:27:21
they're not like you the men think i'm
00:27:22

some kind of hero and they're right
00:27:28

sad day paul sad day
00:38:43
it's not for him okay it's just a bloody
00:38:45
hand playing their games
00:38:46
sounds like him sir what if he is alive
00:38:51
right what if it is him what if his
00:38:53
wound weren't fatal
00:38:55
what if he's waiting out there for us to
00:38:56
come no no one would come
00:39:01
in fact they only want to be stupid
00:39:03
enough to risk everything would be
00:39:04
bolsworth himself
00:39:06
never a thought for his own safety when
00:39:08
it came to times like these
00:39:11
but it's not him private
00:39:14
he's got out for the count he might say
00:39:19
he would have grown boxer sir i once saw
00:39:22
him big billy sherwood from a crowd of
00:39:24
three thousand
00:39:25
he did him in two it was an amazing
00:39:27
night
00:39:29

dead man anyway
00:41:35
