Clash of the Dead (2015) - full transcript

- I don't really
know where to start.

I think I've
put a stop to it, I.

I think I've laid it to rest.

The
horrors of World War One

hide many mysteries.

What really happened in
the 1919 soldier riots?

What happened to the missing

Royal Fourth Norfolk Battalion?

Did the London Scottish Regiment

really perish at the Maecenas?

Now I, Dr. Brian Locke,



together with an award-winning

documentary team,

led by acclaimed
filmmaker, Marcus Singh,

will take on a journey
through the battle fields

of World War One

in an attempt to
find some answers.

Our first stop are
the fields of a battle

that saw the
greatest loss of life

the world had ever seen.

A battle that had
no clear victor,

and hides many shocking facts.

The Battle of the Somme.

Fire is easy
if the ladies found out.

Where are we going, girls?



Where are we going?

You figured it out yet?

Like, Joanna, come on,
you're from around here.

You should know
where we're going.

- She's German, Marcus!

- I've got it, I've got it.

Look here.

Okay, just here.

If we go back in time

and get a sat nav that
actually speaks English,

then we can arrive on
location two hours from now!

- I'm so glad we can rely
on the men to be helpful.

- Well, I can't hear you
properly 'cause we're lost.

- She's amazing.

- Yeah, Emma's great.

- I love her shows.

You know the ghost show
thing that she has?

- Yeah the ghost show.

That's funny.
- I love it!

It's crazy.

- Yeah, I've gotta go, bye.

- This map is huge.

- How do you think they do it?

Do you think it's like CGI

or do you think it's
like physical props?

- Oh, I don't know.

You'll have to ask Emma.

I'm sure they've got some
kind of artistic license.

So this a
beautiful river in France.

We're panning 'round
to our presenters.

So while we wait,

let's go and say
hello to the talent,

Incredibility and the Clapper.

Boo!

- Shit, Marcus.

What are
you guys talking about?

- Um.

- Uh, well, to be
honest with you, Marcus,

I've been having a
few, um, problems

with working out how myself
and Emma would work together.

And so, uh, well, she's
been trying to reassure me.

- How did you do
it on the UFO show?

The documentary.

- Oh, no, that was real.

That was Marcus's thing.

All
right, guys, on action,

I just want a little
piece to camera

about why we're here, what
the documentary's about.

- Sure.
- Okay?

Got it?

All right, Emma,
we'll start on you.

- Okay.
- Okay.

And action.

- Hi, I'm Emma Washington,

and I'm presenting this
documentary on the Somme.

At this point, I should
probably hand over

to our resident
expert, uh, Dr. Brian.

- Thanks, Emma.

I'm Dr. Brian Locke,
and I'm here to,

we're here to explore the, uh,

some of the mysteries and
myths that surround the, uh,

the Battle of the Somme.

And also to, to,
uh, to engage with,

um, some of those hardships

that the troops of the
First World War, uh,

would've gone through.

Some of the horrors,
particularly in the trench work.

So, Emma,
this is your first gig

with the BAFTA-winning
Torchlight Pictures,

but is it your first
historical documentary?

- Um, no, I've done a few
bits and pieces before.

But I'm really looking
forward to stepping it up.

Yeah, me too.

- I'm sorry, what?

What the fuck?

Okay now.

- Sorry.

- I'm just really
excited to get started

and, um, finally
get to the location

where all this history
actually took place.

- But, I, I, I do think
that it is vitally important

that we stick to the
story of the Somme

and that we treat the
subject matter with a, uh,

a degree of sensitivity.
- Hmm.

That's
great, thanks, guys.

That's certainly
Somme-thing to think about.

- Seriously?

We're
on, we're on, we're on,

we're on, we're on.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to BAFTA-winning
Torchlight Productions.

And we have one member
of the crew missing.

Does someone wanna explain
why we're missing Liam today?

- I'd love to--
- 'Cause he's a wanker!

What
happened to him?

- He's drunk!

Is that
normal for Liam?

- Yes, it's very
normal to be drunk for,

actually, it is very normal
for Liam to be drunk,

but he's always turned up.

I find that quite
suspicious, actually, Marcus.

- Oh, Daz, we don't
need that camera on now.

I'm tryin'
to fix the camera.

- What's happening?

The call button
keeps getting stuck.

- Oh, please don't
tell me it's broken.

I haven't paid for
that thing yet.

Don't

accusing me, Marcus, I was
taking.

Are you two arguing?

- He's whinging again!

- Oh, have you argued?

I thought you
kissed and made up.

- We have kissed and made up.

Aren't you
gonna make it worse, Daz?

- Hey, Joanna!

Brian, sorry.

Joanna, piss stop, please!

- Can you be a
bit more eloquent?

- I'm not sure
about it, not too.

I mean, is Marcus
always like this?

Yeah, it seems like it.

Oh, oh, I
got one, I got one!

Are you lonesome tonight?

Twat!

- Daz!

Why are you filming everything?

I'm not
recording, Manda.

I am merely checking
the presets.

- I just don't want you
running the battery down.

Once again, Manda,

I am not recording.

I am merely checking
the presets.

Joanna,
what's going on?

This is the second time
we've stopped, you know?

Marcus, I'm trying
to find this on the map.

Okay, well,
how long will we be?

- As long as it takes, Marcus.

Well, if you need,
Joanna, if you need help,

you can ask one of us.

- Marcus, I would
gladly take your help

if you're willing to give it.

Joanna, I haven't
got a problem with Joanna.

It's just we're running
into a tight schedule!

- Okay, you know what, Marcus?

None of this is my fault, okay?

If you want to help
me with the map,

you can help me with the map.

Directors are supposed
to know their locations!

Gareth Nunn would've
have known the location.

Fuck Gareth
Nunn, that guy's a prick.

He hasn't won a BAFTA.

You're being rude!

What,
I'm not being rude.

- You're so fond of
mentioning your BAFTA.

Amanda, come
on now, I'm just saying--

- Why don't you ever
mention The Hadrian's Wall?

I don't
like Gareth Nunn!

There's no harm in not,
not, not liking someone!

We'll be there soon
and it will be fun.

Then everyone'll be happy and
we'll have a drink tonight

and it'll be fun.

- I just don't like when
you, when what you say is

loaded and I don't know what,

whether you're
being honest or not.

Amanda, please,
can you just leave it now?

You're embarrassing us.

I just don't
want the controversy.

- Controversy?
- What the?

- What, sorry, what controversy?

What are
you talking about?

- You know exactly
what I'm talking about.

Well, what
controversy, say it, say it.

Come on, Amanda, say it!

- You say it.

What
controversy, say what?

I've got nothing to say!

You're the one that's
piping up about controversy!

Well, say something, then!

- No.

I'm sorry, Doctor.

- Just don't be
rude to people then!

Well, you
made me go there now!

- No, you were rude to people.

This is
really embarrassing.

- You were rude to
people before this!

You're embarrassing
me in front of my guests!

Previous owner

has properly fucked
this camera up.

- All right, we
should do a set-up.

Joanna, stop the car, for real.

- Over there's perfect.

So, Emma, if you can
ask Brian the question

and if you'd both start
walking towards the Somme,

and, Brian, if you can
play up that mystery thing

that we spoke about.

And, Emma, you can do this
with your eyes closed, okay?

Thank you.

Well, I, I
just follow 'em, do I?

- Well, no, not
unless you wanna film

the back of their heads!

You know that pillock

is spelled with two Ls, Marcus.

Okay,
guys, happy, ready?

Can we lose the jacket?

Thank you.

Daz, ready?
- Sweet.

- Thanks, Joanna.

Joanna,
hurry up, thank you.

And

action!

- So, here we are,
just meters away--

No, cut, cut, cut.

Emma, we use yards in England.

- Do we?
- Do we?

- Of course we do.

- So, here we are,
just meters away

from where the bloody
battle took place.

And it's safe to say,

the air still holds
an air of, oh.

Sorry, I just said air twice.

Cut, cut, cut!

- Dr. Brian Locke, would you
say in your expert opinion

that the battle was almost
doomed from the start?

- Well, that is a very
good point you raise, Emma.

Many war historians have said

that the British
plan was

well, somewhat flawed.

- Flawed?

- Yeah, you see, the idea was
that initially the British

would use heavy artillery
along a 15 mile front

to, to decimate the German line,

kill their soldiers,

destroy their trenches,

and then follow it up
with advance and capture,

cementing victory with
the, the use of cavalry.

What's that?

- So, what was wrong
with that plan?

- Well, it was predicated on.

The fuck
have we got here?

Oh, wait a fuck.

They were there on the horizon.

- Who was--
- They who, people?

- People come about?

- You promised there'd
be no tricks this time.

I am not joking, mate.

You need to tell me now

if I am wasting my
time by bein' here.

- You're not wasting your
time, Daz, what's going on?

Well then,
what have I just seen?

- I don't know!

Where did you see some--
- There!

Let's have a look at the
playback, shall we, Marcus?

- There's no need to
look at the playback.

We haven't got time for that.

If you say there's something,
then there's something.

I trust you.

Okay, guys, I
apologize for this.

Can we just go again,
thank you very much.

- So, here we are,
just meters away

from where the bloody
battle took place.

God's sake!

Oh, dear.

It might be a local, Daz,
keep it rollin', catch it.

Hello!

Sir!

Uh, English?

Joanna, do you understand
what he's saying?

Hello?

Hello, oui, bonjour.

Do you speak English?

No, no--

- Bonjour, monsieur.

We make a TV show, and--

Amanda, you're
still speaking English.

He doesn't understand.

Amanda, you're still
speaking English.

We're allowed to film here.

- I think he's saying
it's dangerous!

- Okay, sir.

Merci, thank you very much.

He was
saying it's dangerous?

Why is it dangerous?

- No idea.

Daz, what's
the mood like on camera?

- A bit weird wasn't it, Mark?

What do you mean?

- Our boy in the Rover.

Oh, he's just French.

Nation of drunks.

- Unidentified
French object, huh?

What are
you insinuating?

- Ain't insinuating
anything, mate.

At the end of the day,
you're the bloke that CGI'd

a fucking flying saucer over
the top of Hadrian's Wall.

And you haven't worked for
18 months because of it.

Not
this, not with this.

It's a bit
cold here, are you cold?

- It's not the cold I'm feeling.

It's something else.

What
about this production?

- Can you tell us when you're
gonna be doing that, please?

Oh, no,
guys, this is just

behind the scenes stuff.

I'm just trying to
keep authenticity.

So it's, uh, quite dull here.

A bit somber.

Aw, come on, guys.

Where's your sense of humor?

- Do you need some help, guys?

Okay, so everyone's
treating me like a prick.

Well, I'm gonna go over
here and do some B-roll.

If anyone's interested.

Nope.

It's actually quite tranquil.

Considering what happened here

all those many, many years ago.

What the fuck!

What was that?

I just saw something.

I think I just saw
something in that woods.

Something moved in the woods.

Something moved in the woods.

Oh fuck.

- So, how was working
on those ghost shows?

- Um, yeah, they
were, they were good.

- Yeah, a lot of fun?

- I really loved them,
they were really amazing.

Fucking hell, Brian!

Come with me.

What's that bit over there?

- What, that?

Yeah, exactly.

- That is Delville Wood.

It's the scene of one of the
Somme's most central battles.

Hold on,
hold on, what was that?

Devil Wood?

- No, Delville Wood.

The irony.

Uh, the irony is

that it did actually get to
become known as Devil Wood.

Okay, wait,
I've got an idea.

- I really love the
one that you did, um,

The Deacon of Dark River,

that you did in Iceland.

That was really scary.

That was fucked up.

- I don't remember that one.

- So, that there
is Delville Wood--

No, no, cut,
Brian, Brian, please.

Just for the sake
of this documentary,

can we go with Devil, okay?

- But, but.

- Do you know if it was real?

- Well, um, I guess a lot of
'em are based on, you know,

real stuff but then, you
know, it's a TV show.

- So, that there is Devil Wood,

the scene of one of the
Somme's most central battles.

Now, it's significant
because after two weeks

of the most hideous carnage,

it became evident that a
breakthrough for either side

was unlikely.

- Yeah, yeah, 'cause it
went really crazy sometimes.

- Yeah, it did do that!

- Oh no, I wouldn't
be able to tell

the real ones from
the fake ones, though.

- Now whereas the
Allies eventually won

the Battle of the Woods,

80 % of that South African
brigade were killed.

It was terrible.

Cut there!

Hello, pretty
foreign ladies!

Whatcha doin'?

What's the next set-up?

- I have no idea.

- Ask Amanda.

- I think she's on the phone,

but she can't get reception.

And Marcus and Doctor
Doolittle have disappeared

and are doubtlessly
plotting somewhere.

- Now, when we do
this on A-camera,

if you could just ramp
up the mystical element

just a tad more.

- Right, okay.
- Yeah?

With legends and curses--

Exactly!

That's exactly what we need!

Talk about curses, go,
go with stuff like that.

- All right.

- Daz, is, is that
camera recording?

I can hear it hissing.

It sounds like it's

- Don't think so.

- Take the camera, okay?

And, uh, go and film
some stuff over there.

Get as much historical
stuff as you can.

Go and have fun with it, okay,
I'm going for a quick piss.

Well, well
how do I turn it on?

Well
it already is on.

If you press that button
there, that turns it off.

- So, are you on?

Right.

This would have been a trench

somewhat clumsily preserved
with corrugated steel.

Do we just?

Do you wanna set up anyway?

- Yeah, sure, why not?

Let's do it.

So, the soldiers
would have lived in.

What is that?

What is that?

Ow! Ow!

Oh wow.

No! No!

No, seriously?

Okay.

Hello, everybody!

And welcome to a trench.

Now, I probably shouldn't
be touching this,

but this is the cap of a
German mustard gas canister,

which means that this
is a German trench.

Now, it would have led

into a complex
underground tunnel system.

So if we, if we move to
the end of the trench

we should see.

Yes, yes, look, there it is!

It's, uh, this is the entrance

to the underground
tunnel system,

which would have
been used by miners

to, to excavate
under enemy lines

to plant explosives.

This is amazing!

Right.

Let's get Marcus.

Gas.

Gas!

Oh my God, I've opened this!

- What are you doing
in the trench, Doc?

We've got
to get out of here!

- It's just a bit of fog.

Give me that.

- So here in these
very fields in 1916,

took place one of
the bloodiest battles

in mankind's history.

This melancholic and,
some say, haunted place

still holds many secrets.

Secrets we hope to unravel

during the course
of this program.

And cut there.

It's brilliant, Emma, well done.

- Uh, yeah, that's my line!

Thank you, Emma,
that's beautiful.

It's really, really,
really good, I love it.

Daz, that's great camera work.

My only thing is, I think
it's just a little bit safe.

- Safe.

- Yeah, well, I mean,
essentially it's just Emma

standing in a field.

It needs, it needs a hook.

A bit more excitement.

Okay, just give me a minute,
let me think about this.

- The battle took
place in a field.

In this field.

That's what we're doing.
- Yeah, but it's boring

Amanda, it's boring,
we need something else.

- Depends what you
mean by manipulating.

You know, you can kind of.

Kind of spin a reality.

It's like history.

We do a lot of
history stuff, right?

So you gotta,

you've gotta have the hook.

It's like revisionism
in literature.

You become, you know this.

You become well-known for

saying something
new about something.

- Well, yeah, sure.

But, I mean, there's only a
certain amount of information.

- What, is there anything
interesting about this, Marcus?

It's
behind-the-scenes footage.

These
woods were so heavily

bombarded by the Germans.

There's a massive grave,

I think it's probably
filled with water.

There's a tree, Marcus.

I only really came back
and worked with him

because I felt sorry for him.

It was a bad eight months

after Hadrian's
Wall all fucked up.

What exactly did he do

on the Hadrian' Wall film?

If you can believe it,

he CGI'd a flying saucer
over the top of it.

Well, I
hope he's got nothing

planned like that on this one.

Daz, what's
this thing here?

Guys, what's this
mad-looking thing here?

We do a set up?

Yeah, let's do a set up here.

- Brian, I want you to know--

- Are you happy with that view?

- Yeah, uh, sorry, guys?

Excuse me!

Mand!

Can you just take?

Can you look at me for a second?

Move back a step.

Just take four.
- Thank you!

Although it's fading.

- Do you think they
have to turn a bit then?

- Please, I won't
ask you to lie.

But just go with the
embellishment for now,

I can always reign in.
- All right, okay.

I can always cut it.
- No, no, no.

- If we get a shot
now, it'll be fine.

- Unproved rumor and sped
through an Allied battalion

about a regiment of Germans

based here in Delville Wood--

Devil Wood.

- That were cursed by a
tortured British soldier.

- Really?
- Really?

- And here's the thing.

Apparently, they all
became the undead.

Brian,
that was fantastic.

- What?

Can you just say that again,
that last sentence again,

but more towards camera?

- You tell it very well.
- Brian, professor!

Doctor, could you just say
that last sentence again

but more towards this camera?

And action.

- - Uh, they, uh, they,
they all became the undead.

So they were
probably called zombies.

Jesus Christ!

It's like I've got a
talking hemorrhoid.

No, but
seriously, Brian,

can you say that
on the day, undead?

- The fighting
here at Devil Wood

eventually secured the
British right flank.

And marked the
Western Front debut

of the South African
First Infantry Brigade.

After holding this
wood for five days,

the brigade ended up
losing over 2,500 men.

Okay, Emma,
we're gonna do that again.

But this time I want
you to kneel down,

mention how fierce
the fighting was,

point to the tree stump, and
say it was hit by a cannon.

Okay?

Marcus, that
is not cannon damage.

- Here we have a tree
destroyed by cannon damage.

It's a sobering thought,

but imagine a cannon
causing this effect

hitting a human being.

The results would be terrifying.

Oh!

Oh, watch
the camera, Daz!

You've fucking broken it.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You didn't hurt yourself when you fell or anything?

No, I'm fine.
It's okay.

- Okay, you know what, I
think Amanda has some whisky--

- Here Emma, let's change
your boots for you there.

- From Liam, would
you like some?

- Okay, sure.
- I'll get you some.

I'm gonna
give you my jacket

to take on the train.

Marcus!

What?

Where did you
put the whiskey from Liam?

Don't know!

Emma, how are you
feeling right now?

- What are you doing?

Put that camera away.

She is soaking wet.

That's completely
unprofessional.

Who's side you on?

- Will you?

Doctor, what
have we got over here?

I'm
not entirely sure.

I've never seen anything
like this before.

You what?

- I said I've never seen
anything like this before.

So could we be
facing an exclusive here?

- I don't know,
what do you mean?

Well, it's something

that's never been
caught on camera before.

- Oh, Marcus, I don't
really think this is--

Well, I need you
to say this right to camera.

Okay, and action.

- I've never seen
anything like this before.

And what
is it you found?

I don't know.

There's something submerged.

I can't quite get to--
- Marcus.

Daz.

How we doing on the camera?

Workin' on it,
mate, workin' on it.

Be careful
with that thing.

It's working now.

I'll be amazed if
it lasts a day.

Got something!

What is it?

It's a bit of
metallic, I think it's a chain.

What have
you got there, Doc?

I think it's a chain.

Can we get it out?

This is looking great, guys.

Emma, can you give him a hand?

Fantastic.

Looking really, really good.

Oh!

Oh, careful.

Okay.

- Okay, let's give this a heave.

Okay, so after three.
- Okay.

- One, two, three.

What
the fuck was that?

What the, it's a fucking body!

I'm sure it was moving.

So who do you
think he was, Brian?

- Well, from what I can glean

from the remainder
of his uniform,

he was Rhodesian, which would
correctly place him here

in Delville Wood as part
of the 3rd Battalion

of the South African Brigade.

This is
something of real

historical significance.

So, Amanda,
are we friends again?

- Yes, we are.

I can't
thank you enough.

It was a fantastic idea
to do this documentary.

- It's a pretty
unbelievable find.

- Well, this is a.

Bodies do pop
up from time to time.

This is something
completely different.

Yeah, it'll put
us right back on the map.

- Tortured, shackled,
forced into that box

full of dark, stagnant water
and left to die of starvation,

disease, dysentery.

- Brian seems really happy again

so that is a really good thing.

Dr.
Locke, are you happy?

- Happier.

What the fuck is that?

Oh, it looks like
we found something again.

Let's go back over to the body.

God.

Don't do that.

Silence,
please, guys.

Oh God,
that's disgusting.

Shh, shh,
shh, Joanna, shh!

What is it, Doc?

- No.

Well, it appears our
unknown friend here

was a fan of the occult.

This amulet would've been used

in the popular African
practice of black magic

to raise the dead.

- Wow.

- Perhaps he was even tryin'
to cheat his own death.

It also appears that
he swallowed it.

Possibly to avoid it
being, uh, discovered.

- Incredible.

- Cut there, right,
guys, that's fantastic!

I think we're gonna call that
a wrap for today, well done!

I know tempers have been
a little bit frayed today,

to say the least, but we're
gonna deal with this tomorrow.

We'll call the
authorities, but for now

I think we're all gonna go back
to the van and have a beer.

Thank you very much,
guys, no one tell Liam.

Cheers, give yourselves
a round of applause.

Thank you, well done.

Right, can we get all
this stuff cleared up

and get back as
soon as possible?

Yeah, good
idea, it's getting late.

You okay, Emma?

Other than being
a little creeped out.

You're
not the only one.

Heading
back to the van after

a very, very successful day.

Right on, guys, great job.

Brian, fantastic work.

- Cut that off,
Marcus, will you?

When you get
drunk with that fella.

- Oh my God.

What's up, Amanda?

What is that?

She must've
seen something.

Amanda, wait.

This is just
getting better and better.

Oh Jesus Christ, what is that?

Who's done that?

Guys, guys!

We've got something.

Brian,
Brian, come over here.

What have you found?

My God.

Maybe we should
just get outta here.

- That is so weird.

It's a World
War I victory trophy

This is
getting too weird.

Wow.

That
shouldn't be here.

What's it still doing here?

Come on, guys,
let's keep the spirits up.

Well, you all look a bit
freaked out by that but

personally I just think it was,

you know, kids messing
around in the forest.

That's what kids do, right?
- It's weird.

Brian, um,

can you, can you
tell us more about,

you know, you mentioned trophy,

and some of our viewers may know

something about a football match

that took, took place
in no man's land.

- Well, that would've
been Christmas Day, 1914.

Right.

- And someone kicked a football

into the middle of no man's land

and started an impromptu
game of football

between the Germans
and the Allies.

And I bet the
Allies won that, too.

- Germany did, three, two.

What?

I found it!

Right, this is gonna
take five minutes.

Brian, you keep filmin' this!

Oh, for
goodness' sake.

The
penalty spot here.

Five penalties each,
England versus Germany.

I can't believe he's
doin' this, it's ridiculous.

If I do this?

- Let's go.
- It's gonna take

five minutes and then
we'll go to the pub.

Don't even do this.

Come on!

- Darren, my key.
- So this is the goal,

Joanna, you're to
get the orange ball

in between this.
- It's typical.

I tell ya
what, I tell ya what.

Winner gets to wear
this in the pub later.

- Marcus, Marcus!
- The loser buys

the drinks.
- That's an historical

artifact!
- I'll buy the drinks

anyway 'cause I'm havin' a go.

Here, Brian, hold that.

Do it!

Come on, Joanna.

We'll do
one, okay, we'll do one,

and then we go!
- Come on!

Just kick it.
- Yeah?

Kick it!

Boom, safe!

Okay, you
saved it, you won, Marcus.

Yeah, let's go.

Guys, cheer up,
we'll be in a pub

in a minute.
- It's freezing.

- Yeah, okay, equal,
equal, that's good,

that's good, okay?

No, you
met your match.

- No, no, no, no, that's equal.

He just
doesn't get it.

Let's do this,
five each, guys, chill.

You just don't
get that we want to go home.

We're doin'
five each, mate.

We're
gonna be here forever.

Is there someone
over there, who's that?

- Uh.
- Hello?

- Is that?
- This is Marcus.

Oh, well done, Marcus.

This, this is special.

I can't believe
you, Marcus, I really can't.

Amanda.

Guys, come on, let's
move back towards the van.

Everybody move back!

Back away, guys.

Amanda!

We've gotta be careful.

Marcus, leave it
now, come on, please, please!

Let's go back.

What do you
think you're doing?

Amanda!

Fuck, run, run!

Marcus,
Joanna, Joanna,

listen where
they're coming from!

What is going on?

Jesus.

No!

Get the
fuck off of her!

I can't see!

Marcus!

Everybody,
get, get out, run back!

They're coming from
fucking everywhere!

Who are they?

Get back!

Where do we go?

They're comin'!

Look out!

Marcus, what's goin' on?

Marcus!

What's happening,
what's happening?

Joanna, Joanna, this
way, come this way, quickly!

Oh my God, run, run!

Oh my God, get to the trench!

The trench, Marcus, the trench!

This way, I know where to go!

Follow me!
- Where are you?

- Follow my voice!
- Where are you?

I can't see you, Brian!

Marcus, I'm here.

- It's too dark!
- I'm here, down here.

Brian, where are you?

Follow my voice,
follow my voice, this way.

Try to find my hand!

My hand, Brian!
- Shh, shh, shh, shh.

I'm here, I'm here, down here.

Brian, Brian.

Oh good God, Joanna!

Oh my God.

Who would do this, was this you?

- Brian, Brian.
- Take my hand.

- Gimme your camera.

Give me the camera.
- Oh my God.

Oh my God, Joanna!
- Quiet!

Brian, Brian, come
close, come here!

Come here!

- What are they?

Brian,
calm down, calm down!

Calm down.

Go, go.

- Daz, you okay?

Emma, move,
just keep moving, go!

Keep moving.
- What happened

to Amanda?
- I don't know!

I don't fuckin' know,
I don't wanna know.

I can see
something in front of you.

Just keep walking.

- I can't see.
- You're okay.

I think it's a tunnel,
I think it's a tunnel.

Just keep walking, keep walking.

Slowly, slowly, Brian,
keep it together.

Keep it together, Brian.

They killed Joanna.

- I can see.
- Oh my God.

Over there,
in here, in here.

In here, in here.

They're behind you,
they're behind you, move!

Oh God, he's coming!

Come on, get in here!

They're screaming!

No, gimme your hand!

- Daz?
- Gimme your hand!

Just go, go!

- What are they, oh my God?

Brian, Brian,
we keep hearing voices.

- The soldiers!

I don't
know what they are

but, Brian, Brian,
Brian, calm down.

Here open it, gimme your hand.

Okay, Brian, we need
you to talk about this.

- What, are you crazy?

I've killed a member
of my fucking team, Brian.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

Okay, Brian.

- I can't think like this!

We need it for
fuckin' evidence, Brian.

Now listen, I need you
to take this camera.

Brian, I need you.
- My wife, my wife!

Keep it
together, Brian!

Move, move, move, move,
move, come on, Emma, move!

Daz?

There, go, the
tunnel there, go, go, go, go!

You okay?

Get in
it, get in the tunnel!

Come on!

Daz, what's going on?

Move, Emma. Come on!

- Now point the camera
towards me, towards me.

Okay?
- I can see, Marcus.

- You got me, okay, okay.

I'm gonna get something
we've just found.

Where is it, where is it, it's
here, it's here, I've got it.

That, that's it.

Okay, okay, okay.

Hey, Brian, keep the camera
on me, keep it on me.

Brian!

My name is Marcus Singh.

I'm a documentary film,
Brian, keep the camera on me!

I'm a documentary filmmaker

and I'm here with my historical
advisor Dr. Brian Locke,

Dr. Brian Locke, Brian, I
need you to come into shot.

Put the camera down,
put the camera down!

Brian, Brian, listen to me
and put the camera down!

You okay?

Yeah, yeah,
I'm fine, I'm fine.

- What's happening, why
isn't that going off?

Come here, take this.

Use that, the batteries
are down, use that.

That's it, now go, keep moving!

Fuck's sake, Emma, keep moving!

Come on!
- You okay?

- Come into shot,
come into shot.

This is Dr. Brian Locke.

And we are here in
the Somme in France

and we have been
attacked by something.

Brian, can you explain what
we've been attacked by?

I don't.

- They were in
soldiers' uniforms

and they have murdered
one of my team

and I repeat, they have
murdered one of my team.

Brian, I need you here!

Ah, fuck.

- What was that?
- What, what?

- I can see something.

No, it's me.

Get outta here, Emma, go, move!

- Now we have got
ourselves into a tunnel

and we don't know what
these tunnels were used for.

Brian, can you explain what
these tunnels were used for?

They were.

- I'm gonna keep the
camera rolling as evidence.

Right, Brian turn the lantern.

Turn off the lantern.

We're gonna have
to go further in, further in.

Okay, come on.

- Daz, are you okay?
- Yeah.

It's so fuckin' dark.

Are you okay?

The fuckin' hell are we?

Jesus!

Daz. What was that?

Coming from, I don't
know where it's coming from.

Move, Brian!

Is there an entrance there,
is there an entrance there?

- Daz, why are the
lights coming on?

The gas!
- I don't know,

fuckin' move!

It's got my leg!

Oh shit, Daz, help me!

Brian!

Brian, Brian, are you
okay, are you okay?

Brian, get up!

Die, die, die, fucker!

Brian, Brian, you're okay.

Brian, Brian, don't die
on me, are you okay?

Brian, talk to me, don't die!

Oh thank God.

Oh, shit, the camera, the
camera, the camera's going.

The camera, Brian.

Okay, I've taken the memory card

but I think the
camera is fucked.

Oh no.

- What's that, Brian?

It's my
personal stills camera.

- Does it record?
- Yes.

- Okay, give it to me.

Give it to me.

I'm not sure how
useful it's gonna be.

Brian, you need
to keep it together for me.

Brian, Brian, you need to
keep it together for me.

- Where are all the others?

- Brian, Brian.
- No!

Brian, look
at me, look at me!

Look at me, Brian.

I see a door,
I think it's a way out.

Get back in there,

don't go near it!

You need
to keep it together.

Brian, okay, now listen,
you're the expert,

you're the expert.

Tunnels, how would we
get out of tunnels?

Brian, how would we
get out of tunnels?

- I guess there would've
been a, a small room,

towards the start of the tunnel.

A dept, they would
have briefings and.

We're gonna
have to kill it.

What do ya mean kill it?

How are we gonna kill it?

Where would we go?

- Just through there, this way.

Okay, I'm
following you, Brian.

I'm following you.

Oh God.

All right, gimme that!

Try to hit him!

Do it!
- I'm fuckin' doin' it,

Emma.
- Just do it!

- Why is this lit?

This shouldn't be lit.

I'm gonna
do it, stand back!

We're stuck
here, what was that?

Can't get anywhere.

- Don't get too close.

It's blocking the door.

It's blocking the door!

We have to clear this,
we have to clear this.

Here, take that, take that.

Oh fuck!

Oh my God, that's disgusting!

Brian, you need to put the
camera down and help me!

Oh fuck!

Help me, help me.

Help me, Brian!

Marcus is that you?

Marcus!

Marcus, Brian, stay where you
are, don't come on this side!

Stay where you are!

Emma, Emma,
Emma, you need to help us!

There's a door here!

You need to help
move these rocks!

- Marcus, Marcus,
they're coming!

Daz, let's
use something.

Emma!

Here, use this.

We've gotta kill him.

Come on, come on, do it, Daz.

I'll give
this a fuckin' go.

- Oh my God.
- Emma!

- Marcus, hurry!
- I know, Marcus!

We're coming.

Emma!

- Emma!
- Hurry!

They're getting closer!
- Move the rocks!

They're
getting closer!

I'm moving the rocks!

We need
to clear this way!

I can't get through!

Clear the rocks!

I've done it, I
think I've done it.

Get off of me.

What do I
do, what do I do?

What do I do?

Oh, Daz, Daz.

- Marcus, quickly, come
through, come through!

Quickly, Marcus,
come on, come on!

Quickly, quickly, we gotta
get through this door.

Quickly!

- Go, go, go, go, go, go!

Run, close the door!

Close it, lock it, close it!

Oh God.

Shh, it left.

What is this place?

It's a supply
depot, there might be supplies

here or something.

Something, something,
something to show us a way out.

- Fuck.

I fuckin' stuck myself.

There's nothing here.

This place was raided long ago.

- Is that camera still on?

Did you
catch anything?

Did you catch anything before?

- I don't fuckin'
believe you, mate.

No, I'm talkin'
about for evidence, Daz.

And the people need to know
what has happened to us.

- What are you talkin' about?

- I'm talkin'
about for evidence.

For no other reason
but evidence.

- What does it matter if
we're all fucking dead?

How the fuck are we
gonna get outta here?

I don't know.

- You have the bright ideas,
you're usually the one

with the bright
ideas, Marcus, huh?

I don't
have any bright ideas.

Do you have any bright ideas?

- No, I don't.

Well let's
work together then.

- I'm open to
suggestions, come on.

Let's work together.

- I wouldn't be surprised
if you didn't know

exactly how we were
gonna get outta of here.

I don't believe you.

I am fed up with
you accusing me.

You think I would
kill my own people?

I would kill my own people?
- Guys, calm down!

Are you fucking nuts?

Guys!

I would
kill my own people?

I think it's time
we left the cameras behind.

I would
never go that far!

What are you talking about?

You're a
fuck like always.

Yeah?

What are you doin', man?

I'm doin' your job.

Leave it alone, I
said fuckin' leave it alone!

- Happy now?

No, not really, mate.

But if anybody's gonna shoot
this, it's gonna be me.

'Cause if it's gonna be my
last, it's gonna be me best.

Guys, stop it.

How do we get outta here?

- There's only one
way outta here.

And that's through them.

- How are we gonna do that?

They come from everywhere.

We might not even
be safe in here.

Maybe it was
something that we did.

- I think we've
disrespected something.

- Does anyone remember what
that French guy was saying?

- No, but I think it's
got something to do

with that tortured skeleton.

You guys
are talking rubbish.

- Oh are we, are we, considering
what we've just seen?

- Psychos, okay,
these are real people.

- Get that camera
outta my face, Marcus!

- Shit.

Look, it doesn't matter,
it's not important now.

This place is about
to fall apart.

- We need to destroy this.

What are
you talking about?

- I can't believe
I'm saying this.

Look, history is littered
with stories of curses.

Tutankhamen, Otzi the Iceman,
and the curse of Tiamat.

There's loads of them.

Maybe this is one, too.

This is
priceless, Brian.

Maybe it was the gas
canister that you found

in the trench, huh?

- What gas canister?

Exactly!

- It was a German gas canister.

It was old, look,
it's ridiculous!

It's got nothing to do with it!

- Brian, it's ridiculous

because curses aren't real

Psychos are.

Give me that.

What
happened to your hand?

- Nothing.

Were you bitten?

- What?

No.

Because if
the stories are true.

Aw, so what,
he's gonna turn into one?

Don't be ridiculous, Brian!

- I'm fine, everything's fine.

Let's have a
look, let's have a look.

He's just cut himself.

- What'd I tell you about
that camera, Marcus?

You know, that thing
is probably worth a fortune.

- I don't give a damn.

- Throw that in.

- Maybe this isn't working.

- Yes, yes!
- It worked!

That seemed to work.

I'm really not
buyin' this, guys.

Really, really not buyin' this.

I don't know, I
thought I heard something.

Could just be dust falling.

Emma, I know it's
not the right time for this

but are you buyin' into
this bullshit as well?

- Marcus, please don't,
we've gotta try something.

Did you hear that?

- There's nothing there, man.

I swear to God,
it's just the wind.

Yeah, of course,
all the psychos have gone away

'cause we broke a
piece of jewelry.

- I think I can still hear
moaning, but I'm not sure.

- Fuck this.

I've got an idea.

Agreed?

Not really.

I think we should
all go together

but, hey, I'm outvoted.

- All right then, on three.

One,

two,

three.

Fuck it.

Okay.

Okay.

Shh.

All right.

On one.

Two.

Three.

It's clear.

What are ya starin'
at, you morons?

Come on, let's get out of here.

Grab anything you can find.

Anything useful.

- We need weapons!

Anything we can use!

Just get some, just stock up.

Rocks, anything.

They're in here!

Guys, there's more of them!

Get out of here, get out!

Shut the fucking door!

Because they're coming through!

He's gone, he's gone.

Gotta take this!

Come on!

Come on!

Go, go!

Move, Marcus, get up and move!

I can't see.

- They killed Brian,
they killed Brian.

Yeah, I know,
they killed fuckin' Brian

but we've got to get
out of here, Marcus.

Pull your fuckin' act together.

If it wasn't the
amulet, what was it?

Think, think, think.

We're never gonna
make it across the field.

- Yes we are.

We need to move
them away from us.

We need a diversion
of some kind.

Maybe we
can use the dynamite.

- Dynamite, okay,
good, what and.

This is crude.

It'll double the range.

Should be able to check
out the range from

the trench to the van with this.

Look, you
take this, I'll go.

- Fuck that, fuck that.

You stay here
and look after Emma!

- I'm the cameraman,
I will do it.

No, Daz, no!

- Makes sense, Emma,
I know how it works.

- I'll do it.
- Shut up.

And stick to the plan.

Okay?

I'll peer over the edge
of the trench with this.

See if the van is clear.

If it is, we can run for it.

If it's not, we'll use the
dynamite as a distraction.

Okay?

Be careful.

Please be careful.

- Take this.

Okay.

If I'm not back in, uh,

less than 10 minutes.

Assume the worse.

Be careful, Daz.

Anything?

- No.

Emma, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry about everything.
- Marcus, please don't.

It's all my fault.

Round of applause please for
Dr. Brian Locke, everybody!

No, we are so privileged
to have this man here

on this documentary,
fantastic, fantastic man.

- Please, just, just
Brian, though, just Brian.

Brian, okay,
Doctor, Doctor Zhivago.

Joanna, Joanna,
she's sweet, oh God.

Resident ball-breaker
for Torchlight Pictures.

- Slash babysitter.

Slash
babysitter, this is Amanda.

This is the girl that
keeps me in check.

What if we lose Daz?

Oh God.

- Marcus, we won't.

What if we lose Daz?

- Don't say that.

Fuck, oh
fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck!

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!
- Marcus, what?

Darren, my keys.

- Fuck! Fuck!
- What, Marcus, what?

Joanna gave
Daz the keys to the van.

Oh shit, are you sure?

Are you sure?
- Yes!

- Oh shit.
- Oh God.

If he doesn't come
back we are fucked.

Hey, can you check to see if
there's a light from the flare?

They may be out.

No? Oh God.
- No.

Okay, Emma, this
wasn't all me, you know?

- Marcus, please don't.

No, just.

- It's okay, it's
Daz, he's here!

- No way.
- Daz!

Oh God yes.
Marcus, he's here!

Yes, God.

Emma move, move.
- Oh my God!

- Run!
- Marcus, Marcus!

Quick,
quick, quick, quick.

Shh, shh.

I can't see, I can't see.

Emma, Emma, where are you going?

Is that Daz?

Up to the hill?

- They got Daz.
- I know.

They got Daz,
they got Daz, they got Daz.

Fuck, they got Daz.

Oh God.

- No, wait, maybe
that's how we do it.

Brian said, he just
didn't realize.

Remember when we
found that body?

He said that the remains
were undiscovered,

that he wasn't laid to rest.

Maybe we should bury him.

- Are you serious?

I just don't remember
the land being laid out.

- So how accurate
do we think this is?

- As accurate as I can remember.

- Okay.

- 'Kay, so if this is
where you and Daz came in

then this has to be where
me and Brian came in.

Which would make the
football pitch here.

And Delville Wood there.

- Shit, we have to go.

Keep
going, keep going.

That's it, go, go.

Okay, so here's
what I'm thinking.

We head for the
depot, we run through

fut-were-it, then
I'll light these.

That should lure
enough of them out

and then I'll throw the dynamite

and that should give us enough
time to get to the woods

and bury the skeleton, okay?

- Okay.

- You know this is totally
fuckin' crazy, don't you?

Emma, Emma, Emma.

Here, take the camera.

Take it, Emma.
- Okay.

Marcus, be careful,
are you okay?

Oh shit, Marcus.

My leg, my leg, it's
got my leg, it's got my leg!

Marcus!

This way, let's run.

Run, run, Emma,
move, quickly, quickly, quickly!

Watch out!

- Marcus!
- Watch out!

Emma, go, run!

Run, run!

Emma, Emma.

Emma!

Emma, where are you?

Emma!

Where are you, where
are you, where are you?

Where are you, Emma, Emma, Emma.

Emma!

Emma!

Emma!

Emma!

Emma!

Hello!

Emma!

Emma!

I don't wanna die, oh
God, I don't wanna.

I don't wanna die.

Oh fuck, oh fuck.

It's in the trench.

I found this.

Die!

Oh fuck!

Come on, motherfucker!

Come on, motherfucker!

Fuck you, fuck you!

Fuckin' stay down.

And you fuckin' prick!

Ah, fuck this.

- Maybe he made it.

If anyone can.

Daz can.

All right, we are going
to get these bastards.

Once and for all.

Okay, now, you see beyond there,

beyond the pitch?
- Yeah.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

That's Delville Wood.

Okay, right.

Now, I want you to
take this camera.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

- And then after three,

we are gonna run for it, okay?

Okay.

- We can do this, Emma.

Okay.

- Out the window.

Two, three, go.

Run, run, run!

Emma, run!

What's going on?

Emma, run, head for the
van, head for the van!

Get down, Emma, get down,
get down, get down, Emma!

Fuck!

We're gonna die,
we're in a minefield!

We're in a minefield!

We're in a minefield, shit!

Okay, it's gone quiet, it's
no more, it's all right.

Okay, okay, okay, fuck, okay.

I'm gonna take this.

I'm gonna take this flare,
I'm gonna, I'm gonna light it.

I'm gonna lure the rest
of these fuckers out.

We're gonna flood 'em out.

Okay, we're gonna
get to the woods.

Can you see the wood, Emma?

- Yeah.
- Emma?

- Yeah.
- Emma.

Can you see the wood?
- I see it.

Oh fuck,
oh fuck, okay, okay.

Okay, you ready?

Okay, I hope this works.

I hope this fucking works.

God, I hope it works.

There's
one, there's one.

There's another,
there's another.

Oh God, I
can see them all.

Marcus, there's more.

There's more.

Oh God, there's four of them.

God, it's
like 50 more workers.

We're gonna have,

we're gonna have to
use the dynamite.

Yeah.

We're gonna
have use the dynamite.

Gonna have to.

Okay, okay, fuckers.

Let's let them all bunch up.

Let these fuckers bunch up.

Then we'll blow them up.

We're gonna blow them up

and we're gonna head
for the woods, okay?

- The vest is too heavy.

We can't throw it from here.

One of us is gonna have to
walk it in, it's too dangerous.

What are you doing?

Why are you showing me this?

It's the memory
card for the camera that broke.

Oh, Marcus, no.

Jesus.

Doesn't mean that you have to.

- It does.

I need you to do one
thing for me, Emma.

I need.

I need you to bury the skeleton,

find Daz, and get out of here.

Come on, you can do it.

I'm so sorry, Marcus.

- I'm sorry, too, Emma.

I'm sorry.

To whoever sees this.

What's happened here today

has been the craziest shit
I've ever seen in my life.

And I just want to say I'm
sorry for everything I did.

And everything I've done.

Yeah, yeah!

Liam,
just like this, yeah?

That way I can do the filming,
you can do the set-up.

Everyone knows you like a drink.

You'll make loads of cash

and have all the birds
gaggin' for me again.

You fuckin' twat.

I bet you missed all
the good bits, nardo.

Where is that French
bloke, I want to see him.

Marcus, I've got the fake
body on the quad bike!

Marcus, oh, my God, I look
like the living death.

Fuck.

Guys, Marcus!

Emma!

Guys?

Guys!

Guys, come on, it's
not funny anymore!

Brian, Emma.

- Um.

I don't really know
where to start.

All my colleagues are dead.
