ANY GOOD IN YOU.

YOU HURT YOURSELF
TRYING TO BEAT ME.

PACK DRILL, THE LOT--

AND LEARN ABOUT DISCIPLINE
THE HARD WAY.

I'VE DOUBLED IN
THOUSANDS LIKE YOU--

THE DREGS, THE DROSS,
THE FILTH OF THE GUTTERS--

BUT WHEN

YES, SIR.

YOUR JOB IS TO SEE

SIR.

EVERY MAN ON MY STAFF'S
GOT MY FULL BACKING.

THERE'S THE COMMANDANT,
OF COURSE.

THE COMMANDANT SIGNS
BITS OF PAPER.

HE'D SIGN HIS OWN
DEATH WARRANT

IF I HANDED IT
TO HIM.

BUT I RUN THIS PLACE,
YOU GOT THAT?

THE COMMANDANT DOESN'T
LIKE BEING TROUBLED

WITH TRIVIALITIES.

SO ONLY TAKE UP SERIOUS
MATTERS WITH HIM, STAFF,

LIKE ARSON
OR SUDDEN DEATH--

BUT SEE ME FIRST
ALWAYS.

LEFT TURN!

LEFT! RIGHT!

MARK TIME!

HALT!

TAKE OVER,

TIDY IT UP.

TIDY IT UP.

TIDY IT UP.

TIDY IT UP.

TIDY IT UP.

TIDY IT UP.

STAND STILL!

SIR, THAT'S MY WED--

YOU'LL GET A RECEIPT.

LOVE LETTERS.

PLEASE, SIR,
THEY'RE MY WIFE'S.

TELL IT TO
THE SERGEANT MAJOR.

THOSE LETTERS, SIR.
PLEASE, THEY'RE MY WIFE'S.

I'LL TELL YOU
WHEN TO SPEAK.

SO THAT'S THE WAY

YOUR BLOODY MIND
WORKS, IS IT?

THOUGHT
YOU'D CONTAMINATE

HIS MAJESTY'S PRISON

WITH FORNICATING
PICTURES, DID YOU?

SIR?

THOUGHT WE'D LET YOU
KEEP THEM FOR PINUPS,

I SUPPOSE,
YOU DIRTY-MINDED ANIMAL!

STAFF, WHAT'S THIS?

TELL IT TO
THE SERGEANT MAJOR.

SERGEANT MAJOR--

SHUT UP!

STAFF.

RIGHT!

LET'S HAVE YOUR NAMES.

PRIVATE McGRATH, SIR.

824--PRIVATE
BARTLETT, SIR.

421--TROOPER ROBERTS, SIR.

SO YOU'RE
ROBERTS, EH?

YES, SIR.

MY GUESS IS
WILLIE, SIR.

HE'S MY PAL.

I BET HE PUT
THOSE POSTCARDS IN MY KIT.

HE PLANTED THEM ON YOU?

THAT'S WILLIE, SIR--

ALWAYS
DROPPING ME IN IT.

YOUR CHARGE SHEET SAYS

YOU STOLE
THREE BOTTLES OF WHISKEY

FROM THE SERGEANTS' MESS.

AND YOU WEREN'T CHARGED
WITH BEING DRUNK, TOO?

MY UNLUCKY DAY, SIR.

I MAKE THE JOKES HERE.

WHEN YOU'VE SERVED
YOUR SENTENCE,

YOU'LL BE ARRESTED
AT THE GATES

AND CHARGED WITH HAVING
IN YOUR POSSESSION

OBSCENE PHOTOGRAPHS.

NOW YOU CAN
START LAUGHING.

HA HA HA!

WATCH IT!

WATCH IT.

YOU...STOLE 10
MOTOR VEHICLE TIRES.

YES, SIR.

WHAT DID YOU DO
WITH THEM?

I FLOGGED THEM, SIR.

TO THE ENEMY?

NO. TO THE WOGS.

AND WHAT DO YOU
CALL THEM?

YOUR LITTLE FRIENDS?

SOLD THEM GUNS, TOO,
HAVE YOU?

NO, SIR.

YOU WOULD, IF YOU
HAD A CHANCE.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE
YOU BEEN INSIDE NOW?

NINE, SIR.

JUST ABOUT DUE
FOR YOUR PENSION, EH?

WHEN'D YOU
LAST SEE ACTION?

ACTION, SIR? UM...

UH, LET ME SEE...

YOU'VE NEVER
SEEN ANY.

WELL, I NEVER QUITE
GOT AROUND TO IT, YOU SEE.

NO, YOU DIDN'T,
DID YOU?

IT'S THE LUCK
OF THE GAME, SIR.

BARTLETT...

LET ME TELL YOU

THAT THE FRONT LINE

IS GOING TO BE
A DAMN SIGHT

MORE COMFORTABLE
THAN HERE.

UNDERSTAND?

HMM.

YOU'RE THE FIGHTING MAN,
McGRATH.

YES, SIR.

I SEE. YOU ASSAULTED
THREE MEMBERS

OF THE CORPS
OF MILITARY POLICE.

YES, SIR.

YOU SEEN ANY OTHER
ACTION APART FROM THAT?

IF YOU'RE ASKING IF
I'M A COWARD, SIR--

I'LL SOON HAVE
THE ANSWER TO THAT.

I DIDN'T FLOG TIRES
TO THE ENEMY

OR SELL DIRTY POSTCARDS
ON THE STREETS OF CAIRO.

NO. YOU GOT BOOZED UP

AND TRIED TO OBSTRUCT
THE POLICE.

I DON'T NEED
A DRINK BEFORE--

YOUR KIND ALWAYS
NEEDS A DRINK.

McGRATH, I'VE A DOZEN
LIKE YOU INSIDE HERE.

THEY ALL CAME HERE

THINKING THEY WERE
GOING TO RUN THIS PLACE.

I JUST DOUBLED
A COUPLE OF THEM OUT.

WENT ABSENT, STEVENS?

YES, SIR.

DIDN'T FANCY
THE SOUND OF GUNFIRE?

IT WASN'T THAT, SIR.

I WAS--

TRIED TO STOW AWAY ON A BOAT
LEAVING FOR ENGLAND.

I WAS TRYING TO GET
HOME, YOU SEE, SIR.

NOT VERY SMART,
STEVENS.

THE SMART THING TO DO
IS TO GO TO THE AIRPORT,

GIVE A YANK 20 QUID,

AND HE'D FLY YOU TO HONG
KONG IF YOU WANTED IT.

IT WAS HOME
I WANTED, SIR.

MISSING YOUR WIFE,
STEVENS?

YES. YES, SIR.

IF EVERY MAN WHO
WANTED A CUDDLE

AND A LITTLE BIT OF LOVING
KINDNESS TOOK OFF FOR ENGLAND,

THERE WOULDN'T BE
ANY BLOODY ARMY

LEFT OVER HERE, NOW,
WOULD THERE?

NO, SIR.

YOU'RE OUT OF PLACE
HERE, STEVENS.

OBEY ORDERS,

GET OUT AS SOON
AS YOU CAN.

THANK YOU, SIR.

ROBERTS.

SIR.

YOUR COMMANDING OFFICER
GAVE YOU AN ORDER.

HE ORDERED YOU TO FIGHT,

SO YOU KNOCKED
HIS TEETH OUT.

IS THAT RIGHT?

SIR.

IS THAT ALL
YOU'VE GOT TO SAY?

SIR, IT'S ALL
I WANT TO SAY.

SEE THAT HILL?

I NOTICED IT
AS I CAME IN.

WE BUILT IT SPECIAL.

A FEW TONS
OF SAND AND ROCK

AND A LOT OF LABOR
AND SWEAT.

THE PRISONERS
BUILT IT.

THAT'S MARVELOUS, SIR.

IT'S A GREAT
CONSTRUCTION FEAT.

SOMETHING TELLS ME

YOU'RE GOING TO GET
TO KNOW IT WELL.

I DON'T WANT
ANY SPECIAL PRIVILEGES.

IT'S HOT
ON THAT HILL. HOT.

I FANCIED I SAW
SNOW ON THE TOP

WHEN I CAME IN.

DEAD SET ON HAVING
A GO AT IT, AREN'T YOU?

I CAN DO WITHOUT IT, SIR,

BUT I THINK YOU'VE GOT
OTHER PLANS FOR ME.

KING!

WOULD YOU LIKE TO DRILL
WITH THESE MEN?

ANYTHING YOU ORDER,
I CAN DO, SIR.

IT'S A PITY
I WON'T SEE IT.

YOU CAN'T
DRILL WITH THEM.

YOU'RE BLACK.

I ALREADY
KNOW THAT, SIR.

I ONLY TAKE NOTICE
OF ONE THING--THE BOOK.

KING'S RULES AND
REGULATIONS LAY IT DOWN

IN BLACK AND WHITE

THAT HOTTENTOTS,
BOSUTOS, VOODOO BOYS,

AND SONS OF WITCH DOCTORS

DO THEIR SQUARE-BASHING
SEPARATE AND AWAY

FROM WHITE MEN.

I'M A BRITISH SUBJECT
FROM THE WEST INDIES.

YOU'RE BLACK.

THAT MAKES ME HAPPY

WHEN I SEE
SOME WHITE MEN, SIR.

DON'T ANSWER BACK,

YOU DIFFERENT-COLORED
BASTARD.

MAN, I SPIT.

STAFF!

OVER HERE.

SEE IF THE M.O.'S READY
TO INSPECT THESE MEN.

SIR!

SO YOU'RE A BRITISH
SUBJECT, EH?

YES.

YES, WHAT?

YES, SIR.

THEN YOU HAVE
EQUAL PRIVILEGES.

YOU CAN DRILL
WITH THESE MEN,

AND YOU CAN DANCE

OVER THAT HILL
WITH THEM.

BE MY PLEASURE, SIR.

BUT, STAFF,
HE DIDN'T SPEAK.

DON'T ANSWER BACK.

STAFF, YOU CHARGE ME.
THAT MAN AIN'T SPEAK.

IF YOU DON'T STOP FLAPPING

LIKE THAT HILL,
ROBERTS?

ROBERTS, THE COURT-
MARTIAL BROKE YOU,

BUT I'M GOING TO
FINISH THE JOB.

I'M GOING TO
BUST YOU WIDE OPEN.

I'VE GOT YOUR NUMBER.
YOU'D WORK AS A DUSTMAN

IF THEY GAVE YOU
A UNIFORM

AND A COUPLE
OF MEN TO YELL AT.

[LAUGHTER]

YOU THINK THAT'S
FUNNY?

WELL, NO.

I'LL TEACH YOU.

BUT EVERYBODY ELSE--

GET INTO YOUR KIT!

MOVE IT!

I'LL TEACH YOU,

AND THAT GOES
FOR THE REST OF YOU.

MOVE IT, I SAID!
DOUBLE OUTSIDE!

MARK TIME!

[DOOR CLOSES]

YOU DROPPED THAT LITTLE
LAD RIGHT IN IT,

DIDN'T YOU, ROBERTS?

YEAH, AND WE'RE
GONNA BE NEXT

IF HE DON'T KEEP
HIS BIG TRAP SHUT.

DON'T MAKE THINGS WORSE
THAN THEY ARE, ROBERTS.

LOOK--HE WANTS ME.

HE WANTS YOU 'CAUSE
YOU'RE THE WRONG COLOR.

THE REST OF YOU
HE DOESN'T FIND

ALL THAT INTERESTING...YET.

BUT HE'LL HAVE YOU
JUST THE SAME.

THE R.S.M. LIKES
MAKING TOY SOLDIERS.

WILLIAMS
LIKES BREAKING THEM.

NOW YOU ALL WORK OUT

WHAT YOU'RE GOING
TO DO ABOUT IT.

MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.

BUT KEEP YOUR
BIG MOUTH SHUT

AND DON'T GIVE HIM

TOO MANY
OPPORTUNITIES.

HOW COME YOU PUT ONE

ON YOUR OFFICER,
ROBERTS?

HE ASKED FOR IT.

FOR ORDERING YOU UP
THE LINE, YOU MEAN?

FOR ORDERING ME
UP THE LINE.

WASN'T VERY
CONSIDERATE, WAS HE?

SHOULD HAVE ORDERED
YOU TO A REST HOME.

I'D HAVE VOLUNTEERED
FOR THAT.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S A YARN
GOING AROUND

THAT YOU
BEAT UP YOUR OFFICER

AND THEN ORDERED
YOUR LADS OUT OF LINE.

IS THAT THE STORY?

THAT'S WHAT I HEARD.

IT'S TRUE
I STUCK IT ON HIM.

WHY, ROBERTS?

OH, YOU'LL READ ALL
ABOUT IT

WHEN I WRITE
MY MEMOIRS.

[LAUGHTER]

HOW JOE ROBERTS
SAW ACTION ONE DAY

AND DIDN'T FANCY
A SECOND BASIN?

WELL, I'LL TRY
AND MAKE IT READ

A BIT
BETTER THAN THAT.

HOW'S THIS?

HALF THE REGIMENT
WIPED OUT,

BUT NOT GALLANT
SERGEANT MAJOR

JOE ROBERTS.

I COULDN'T HAVE THAT,
YOU SEE.

I WAS DUE A WEEK'S
LEAVE IN CAIRO.

[LAUGHTER]

THE LADS
WHO'D GONE IN--

ANY OF THEM STILL
ALIVE, ROBERTS?

ANY OF THEM
STILL ALIVE, ROBERTS?

I AM.

NOW THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.

Roberts:
LEAVE HIM.

THERE'LL BE
NO MORE FIGHTING.

AIN'T WE IN TROUBLE
ENOUGH ALREADY?

SO CHUCK THIS IN.

ALL RIGHT.

BUT I'LL FIND
A QUIET CORNER

TO FINISH THE JOB OFF.

McGRATH, YOU TRY THAT AGAIN,
I'LL KILL YOU.

WILLIAMS IS GUNNING
FOR YOU.

MAYBE I'LL JUST
LEAVE IT TO HIM.

YOU'RE A REAL THICK
NUT, SOLDIER.

YOU'D SHOOT UP KIDS
IN THE NEXT STREET

IF YOU WAS
ORDERED TO.

I TOLD YOU
TO CHUCK IT IN!

CHUCK IT IN!

STAFF!

I HOPE YOU LOT

CAN PUT UP A BETTER
SHOW THAN THAT.

WELL, WHO KNOCKED YOU
ABOUT, ROBERTS?

I BUMPED INTO THE WALL.

WHO WAS IT?

LIKE HE SAID, STAFF.

HE BUMPED
INTO THE WALL.

WELL, IF YOU KEEP
BUMPING INTO WALLS, ROBERTS,

LET ME KNOW
WHO'S PUSHING YOU.

I WON'T STAND FOR ANY
PUNCH-UP ARTISTS, McGRATH.

AYE, STAFF.

RIGHT! INTO YOUR KIT,
THE LOT OF YOU.

WELL, MOVE IT!

GET STEVENS UP.

YES, STAFF.

NO.

HE'S IN NO FIT SHAPE
FOR A SECOND HELPING.

FALL IN OUTSIDE,

I'M GOING TO PROVE TO HIM

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

COME IN.

HELLO, CHARLIE.

HELLO, BERT.

HEY.

SWEETIE?

THANKS.

THOUGHT YOU OUGHT
TO KNOW, BERT,

WILLIAMS HAS GOT

ALL THE MOB
FROM CELL EIGHT

ON THE HILL.

HAS HE?

INCLUDING THE LAD
HE HAD ON IT

A WHILE AGO.

WELL?

I DON'T THINK THE LAD'S
UP TO IT, BERT.

I BET YOU WERE GOOD
TO YOUR MOTHER.

AND I KNOW YOU'RE TOO
GOOD TO THE PRISONERS.

GETTING IDLE,
YOUR MEN ARE.

NEXT THING YOU'LL BE
HAVING THEM IN THE MESS

FOR A SATURDAY NIGHT
BOOZER.

THINK I'M LOSING
MY TOUCH?

LOSING YOUR TOUCH,
BERT?

25 YEARS SERVICE IN.

THINK YOU'D KNOW
YOUR JOB.

AND YOU DO.

YOU THINK YOU CAN
MAKE SOLDIERS

OUT OF MUCK,
AND YOU CAN.

GOT AN EASY
WAY WITH YOU, CHARLIE,

BUT DON'T COME
THE OLD SOLDIER WITH ME.

STEVENS IS A-1 FIT
FOR PUNISHMENT.

BERT, HONEST,

HE DOESN'T LOOK
THAT WAY RIGHT NOW.

IT'S HERE
IN BLACK AND WHITE.

THE M.O. PASSED HIM FIT.
NOW GET OUT,

OR I'LL HAVE YOU
DOUBLING

WITH YOUR LITTLE MATES.

OOP. NOT OVER
THAT HILL.

EVEN YOU WOULDN'T
GET ME OVER THAT HILL, EH?

WATER, OVER HERE!

BARTLETT,
ON YOUR FEET, LAD.

DOUBLE!

YOU--DOUSE HIM!

ROBERTS,
ON YOUR FEET, LAD.

DOUBLE!

THOUGHT YOU MIGHT
LIKE

A NIGHTCAP, SIR.

GOOD NIGHT, SIR.

EH...EH...

STAFF.

STAFF. STAFF.

STAFF, IT'S ME.

IT'S JACKO, STAFF.

STAFF, IT'S JACKO.

YEAH. IT'S JACKO, STAFF...

AH, STAFF, STAFF...

IT'S JACKO,
THE DIFFERENT-COLORED MAN, SIR.

HA. STAFF. STAFF...

YOU WANT TO TAKE ME
OUT AGAIN, STAFF?

HUH? AHH!

YOU CAN'T BEAT JACKO,
STAFF.

HA. NO. OH, NO.

NO. NO MAN CAN...

NO MAN CAN BEAT JACKO,
STAFF.

NO MAN CAN BEAT
JACKO, STAFF.

DARKY,
GO TO YOUR BED.

DARKY?

DARKY. DARKY!

O.K., O.K.

ALL RIGHT. I'M READY
FOR ANOTHER BASIN.

OH, GET IN
YOUR BED!

WILLIAMS SHOUTING
ORDERS AT ME.

I CAN DO IT AGAIN.

ANYTIME. WILLIAMS--

WILLIAMS WON'T BEAT ME.

[LAUGHING]

YOU SAND HAPPY
BASTARDS.

IT'S NIGHT.

THAT'S NOT THE SUN.
IT'S A GESTAPO LAMP.

GET YOUR KITS OFF.

GIVE HIM A HAND.

COME ON,
LET'S HAVE IT OFF.

[GAGGING]

STEADY.

CAREFUL.

COME ON.
HERE YOU GO.

STRAPS LIKE
BLEEDING KNIVES.

I'LL GET YOUR SHIRT OFF.

AAH!

STEVENS...HERE.

O.K.?

LOOK AT MONTY.

HEY, YOU'RE A WISE BOY,
AREN'T YOU?

ALL THESE WOGS
ARE A LOAD OF COBBLERS.

MONTY, THE SCREW'LL
PUT YOU OVER THE HILL

IF HE CATCHES YOU
SMOKING.

AND IT'S COMMANDANT'S
INSPECTION TODAY.

[LAUGHING]

THREE HOURS
STANDING TO

INSTEAD OF DOUBLING.

[CHUCKLING]

OH, SOME REST.

ALL DAY LONG
IN THE BLAZING SUN.

[GIGGLING]

I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING.

THEY WON'T FAULT
MY EQUIPMENT.

IT'S PERFECT.

YEAH. BUT STEVENS
CAN'T GO ON FOREVER

WITH HIS KIT LIKE THIS.

WELL, HE'LL GET
THE STICK FOR IT,

THEN, WON'T HE?

HERE.

AHH!

"A" SECTION ALL PRESENT

FIVE MINUTES' REST.

HALF AN HOUR'S
ATTENTION.

DON'T HALF CREASE YOU,
DON'T IT?

WE'RE ALL DOING TIME...

EVEN THE SCREWS.

[RUBBING SOUND]

[HORN HONKING]

ALL PRISONERS
PRESENT AND CORRECT, SIR.

FRONT RANK, ONE PACE!
FORWARD! MARCH!

STEVENS, YOUR KIT'S
A BLINDING WONDER, LAD.

YOU'LL HAVE R.S.M.
JEALOUS.

TAKE HIS NAME.

WHITEWASH.

WHITEWASH!

WHITEWASH!
ONE PACE FORWARD!

MARCH!

LEFT TURN!

WHAT DID YOU CLEAN
YOUR KIT WITH, LAD?

WHITEWASH, STAFF.

THE COMMANDANT KNOWS
YOU USED WHITEWASH.

THE R.S.M. KNOWS,
I KNOW,

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE
TO OWN UP TO IT.

DOUBLE MARCH!

TAKE OVER, STAFF.

LEFT WHEEL!

LEFT! LEFT!
LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT!

LEFT!

WHITEWASH, ROBERTS?

YOU'RE TOO CLEVER,
ROBERTS.

THAT'S YOUR TROUBLE.

STEVENS' KIT
WAS DIRTY, MACK.

HE WAS BOUND TO GET
SOME STICK ANYWAY.

HE'S STILL
TOO CLEVER, JACKO.

TOO DAMN CLEVER BY HALF.

WHEN IT DRIES OUT,

LOOK AS GOOD AS NEW,
LAD.

BETTER.

BROKEN THE KING'S HEART
IF THE R.S.M. PHONED HIM

AND TOLD HIM YOU'D BEEN
DEFACING HIS WALLS.

WOULD IT, STAFF?

SON, YOU SHOULDN'T
BE IN HERE, YOU KNOW?

YOU SHOULDN'T
EVEN BE IN THE ARMY.

WE'D A QUEER IN HERE
A FEW WEEKS BACK.

I'M NOT QUEER!

I KNOW YOU'RE NOT.
WHY DON'T YOU LISTEN?

THAT NANNY HAD A WAY
WITH HER.

SHE SANG,
AND SHE LAUGHED ALL DAY.

PUT HER OVER THE HILL,

AND SHE WENT
INTO A DANCE ROUTINE.

BETTER THAN
THOSE BELLY DANCERS

IN THE CABARETS.

SHE WASN'T
ANY STRONGER THAN YOU,

BUT SHE KNEW
HOW TO SURVIVE,

AND THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED
TO LEARN IN THIS ARMY.

YOU'VE GOT TO LEARN
HOW TO, YOU KNOW...

HOW TO SURVIVE.

SEEM TO HAVE
SMARTENED UP

THE PRISONERS

FROM CELL EIGHT,
STAFF.

THANK YOU, SIR.

BUT WHAT ABOUT
STEVENS, EH?

YES, SIR.
I'LL MISS THAT, SIR.

DIDN'T THINK STEVENS
WOULD TRY IT ON, SIR.

HE WOULDN'T.

SOMEBODY PUT HIM
UP TO IT.

I'LL TAKE THEM ALL
OUT, SIR,

AND WE'LL FIND
THE RIGHT MAN.

OH, CHRIST!

KNOCKED THE ROCKS OVER,
HAVEN'T YOU, LAD?

PICK THEM UP AGAIN.

VERY PRETTY, ROBERTS.

VERY PRETTY.

ROBERTS.

CUT IT OFF!
CUT IT OFF!

KING, DOUBLE!

ALL RIGHT, KING,
YOU'RE IN CHARGE.

I SAID DOUBLE.

ALL RIGHT, BARTLETT,
UP YOU GO, LAD.

I DON'T THINK

I'LL BE ABLE
TO DO THIS, STAFF.

OF COURSE YOU WILL,
LAD. COME ALONG.

YOU'LL HAVE TO EXCUSE ME
IF I CAN'T.

GET UP THERE,
BARTLETT.

COME ON, BARTLETT,
LET'S HAVE IT!

GET UP IT!

I'M NOT BUILT
FOR THIS SORT OF--

GET UP IT,
BARTLETT!

PLEASE, STAFF.

BARTLETT, GET UP IT!

I CAN'T, STAFF.

GET UP IT, BARTLETT!

I'M FAT!

I'M FAT!

YOU ALL KNOW,
DON'T YOU?

HALT!

STILL! LEFT TURN!

STEVENS, YOU'RE
A DEAD BLOODY LOSS.

PUT IT ON.

HURRY IT UP.

[HEAVY BREATHING]

DOUBLE MARCH!

I ONLY WANTED TO GO HOME.

I CAN'T--CAN'T
STAND ANY MORE.

CAN'T STAND ANY MORE.

OH, GOD, HELP ME!

WILL YOU SHUT UP?

LAY OFF.

IF HE GOES ON
LIKE THAT,

WE'LL HAVE THE PADRE
IN NEXT

THINKING HE'S GOT
A NEW CUSTOMER.

HE CAN'T TAKE
THAT HILL.

STEVENS.

STEVENS.

I CAN'T DO ANY MARCH.

I JUST WANT TO--
I JUST WANT TO LAY DOWN.

ROBERTS, IF HE GOES SICK,
HE GOES ON SICK PARADE.

YOU GET A SCREW'S PERMISSION
TO BED HIM DOWN.

YOU'RE NOT DROPPING US
IN IT AGAIN.

THAT'S RIGHT.

STAFF!

STAFF, WE GOT
A SICK MAN IN HERE!

ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S ENOUGH.

WILLIAMS HAD HIM
ON THE HILL.

YOU GET THE VET.

STAFF, I WANT OUT FROM
THESE LUNATICS, STAFF.

BED THE LAD DOWN,
ROBERTS.

YOU WANT SOMETHING,
STAFF?

YES.

I'D LIKE A WORD
WITH YOU.

THIS IS MY CELL.
I'M RESPONSIBLE HERE.

I'M NOT, THANK GOD.

THEN LEAVE IT TO ME.

YOU'VE GOT
A SICK MAN IN HERE.

I CAN DEAL WITH IT.

I'VE GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS
TO BED HIM DOWN.

IF YOU DON'T
GET OUT SHARP, STAFF,

I'LL PUT YOU ON REPORT

AND LET THE R.S.M. DECIDE
WHAT'S RIGHT OR NOT.

I CAN ORGANIZE A VISIT
FROM THE M.O.,

SEE WHAT HE SAYS.

McGRATH,
WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?

I'M NOT A VET,
STAFF.

RIGHT, GET YOUR TOWELS.

YOU'VE ALL HAD
A BUSY TIME,

SO I'M PUTTING YOU
UNDER THE SHOWERS

TO SWEETEN YOU UP
AND SMARTEN YOU UP.

WE'RE TAKING STEVENS
WITH US.

YES, STAFF.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH
INDEED, STAFF.

GET HIM ON HIS FEET.
GET HIM UP, BARTLETT.

YES, STAFF.

COME ON.
STAFF WANTS YOU UP.

OH, NO.

STAFF WANTS YOU
UPSY-DAISY!

ON YOUR FEET!

HE'S IN NO FIT
STATE TO WALK.

SO HE'S IN
A TERRIBLE WAY, IS HE?

WE'LL SOON SEE.

DOUBLE OVER HERE,
STEVENS.

PLEASE, JOE,
MAKE HIM LEAVE ME ALONE.

PLEASE HELP ME.

I CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE.

O.K., STEVENS.

VERY TOUCHING.

I'LL GET THE PREACHER
IN TO YOU TWO

AND GET YOU MARRIED.

ALL RIGHT,
DOUBLE OUTSIDE.

OUTSIDE.

DRAG THAT FAIRY OUT.

IF I'D KNOWN YOU WERE
ON YOUR HONEYMOON,

I'D HAVE HAD YOU
IN A SEPARATE CELL.

I DON'T HOLD
WITH ONE OF MY STAFF

COMPLAINING
ABOUT A BROTHER OFFICER.

LISTEN, IF WILLIAMS
CRIPPLES STEVENS,

YOU'LL TAKE
THE CAN BACK,

NOT WILLIAMS.

YOU'RE TELLING ME AGAIN
HOW TO RUN THIS PLACE?

IF I HEAR ANY MORE
COMPLAINTS OUT OF YOU,

I'LL HAVE YOU POSTED.

SIR, I SUGGEST YOU LET
THE M.O. DECIDE

WHETHER OR NOT STEVENS
IS FIT FOR PUNISHMENT.

I MAKE THE DECISIONS. ME.
I'LL SEE IF HE'S FIT OR NOT.

NOW GET OUT!

TIME IS UP!

HEY,
NOT THAT ONE.

WHAT?

THAT TURNS ON
THE GAS.

[LAUGHTER]

QUIET!

WHAT'S THIS I HEAR
ABOUT STEVENS,

MR. WILSON?

NOTHING
TO WORRY ABOUT, SIR.

WELL, STAFF HARRIS
TOLD ME.

HARRIS, HE'S LIKE
A DREAM WALKING.

IF STEVENS WERE SICK,

HE'D BE HERE,
WOULDN'T HE, SIR?

YES, I SUPPOSE SO.

WELL, SINCE I'M HERE,
I'D BETTER SEE HIM.

THINK I DON'T KNOW
MY JOB, SIR?

THINK I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON?

I NEVER SAID THAT.

I KNOW WHAT STAFF
WILLIAMS IS DOING.

STAFF HARRIS
TOLD ME--

HARRIS, HMM?

HE'S SAND HAPPY.

I'M STILL
IN CHARGE HERE, SIR.

I WANT TO SEE STEVENS.

YOU'VE SEEN HIM, SIR.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU PASSED HIM FIT,
FIT FOR DUTY AND PUNISHMENT.

THE HILL,
SERGEANT MAJOR.

IF ONE OF THE STAFF
OVERDOES

THE GOOD WORK...

I CAN TAKE IT, SIR.
ANY FIT MAN CAN TAKE IT, SIR.

YES, WELL,
AS YOU SAY,

IF HE WAS SICK,

HE'D BE HERE,
WOULDN'T HE?

YES.

YES.

GOD, IT'S HOT.

IT'S LIKE AN OVEN
IN HERE.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

LIGHTS OUT,
FIVE MINUTES.

STILL NO SIGN
OF THE M.O., EH?

LIGHTS OUT,
FIVE MINUTES.

LIGHTS OUT,
FIVE MINUTES.

HE LOOKS BETTER.

YEAH. MAYBE HARRIS

WILL GET THE VET
TOMORROW.

IT'S A LAUGH.

WHAT IS?

ALL WE EVER GET
IN THIS DUMP

IS MEDICINE
AND DUTY.

ONE LUNATIC,
YOU KNOW,

IN CENEFFIA,

THAT WAS A RIGHT
NICK, THAT WAS.

HE MADE HIS BLANKETS UP

INTO A KIND OF A NEST,
YOU SEE.

AND HE SAT THERE
ALL NIGHT

IN THE MIDDLE OF THEM
GOING, "CUCKOO, CUCKOO"

ALL NIGHT LONG.

HE WAS TRYING TO WORK
HIS TICKET.

NO. HE WAS
ROUND THE BEND.

HE'D BEEN FRIGHTENED BY
AN HAND GRENADE, I THINK.

ANYWAY, THE SCREW
GOT THE VET IN, YOU SEE,

AND YOU KNOW WHAT
THE VET RECOMMENDED?

MEDICINE AND DUTY.

ANYWAY, THE VET HAD
A BRIGHT IDEA, YOU SEE.

HE SORT OF FANCIED
HIMSELF

A BIT OF A TRICK
CYCLIST,

AND HE PUT THIS DUMMY
HAND GRENADE

INTO THE NEST
WITH THE CUCKOO.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT
THE CUCKOO DONE?

TRIED TO HATCH IT OUT.

YOU'VE HEARD IT.

ANYWAY,
YOU GOT TO LAUGH

BECAUSE SOME OF THESE
SCREWS ARE COMICS.

I MEAN, TAKE WILLIAMS.

THERE'S STEVENS THERE
ON HIS CHIN STRAP.

ALL WILLIAMS
CAN THINK OF DOING

IS GIVING HIM
THE OLD "ATTENTION!

"ABOUT TURN!

DOUBLE MARCH!"

HE'S OFF.

I WONDER IF HE
COULD HATCH OUT

A PACKET OF PLAYERS

FOR MONTY BARTLETT.

HERE, STEVENS,
STICK AT IT, KIDDO.

YOU'RE A CERT FOR
YOUR TICKET, YOU ARE.

BOOM BOOM
BOOM BOOM BOOM.

KEEP THEM UP, BOY.
KEEP THEM UP.

[LAUGHTER]

COME ON, BOY.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM.

[LAUGHTER]

HE'S DEAD.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MEN WHISTLING AND CHEERING]

THE M.O. WILL HAVE
TO WRITE OUT

A DEATH CERTIFICATE,
WON'T HE?

WHAT WILL HE DIAGNOSE,
CARELESSNESS?

WHAT'S THAT?

CARELESS OF STEVENS
TO DROP DEAD?

A BIT LATE FOR YOUR
JOKES, CHARLIE.

WORD GOT AROUND YET?

IT WILL, BERT.

THERE MIGHT BE
SOME TROUBLE.

WE'D BETTER BE
ON OUR TOES.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE
A SUGGESTION.

YES?

MOVE WILLIAMS
OUT OF THE BLOCK.

PUT HIM ON THE GATE

WHERE HE CAN'T DO
SO MUCH DAMAGE.

THAT WOULD BE AS GOOD
AS ADMITTING

I THINK WILLIAMS
KILLED THE LAD.

BERT, I'D SOONER
HAVE WILLIAMS

DOUBLING IN HERE
THAN ANYBODY.

LISTEN. I ORDERED
WILLIAMS

TO SMARTEN UP
THE PRISONERS

IN CELL EIGHT.

YES. WE ALL ACCEPT THAT.

IF STEVENS WAS FIT, HE'D
STILL BE HERE, WOULDN'T HE?

THE ARMY JUDGED HIM A-1.

THE M.O. PASSED HIM FIT
FOR PUNISHMENT.

LOOKS LIKE STEVENS
WAS ONLY FIT TO DROP.

IT'S NOT YOUR WORRY.
IT'S THE M.O.'s.

THANK YOU, BERT.

YOU SAID YOU BACKED
YOUR STAFF.

WE AIN'T CELEBRATING

A GLORIOUS VICTORY,
WILLIAMS.

WE'RE PATCHING UP
A BLOODY DISASTER.

YOU REALIZE I'LL HAVE
TO MAKE A FULL REPORT.

WE ALL WILL, SIR.

HE WAS PERFECTLY FIT
WHEN I EXAMINED HIM.

WHEN YOU DID WHAT?

WELL, WHEN I MADE--

WHEN I EXAMINED HIM.

YOU ONLY LOOKED
AT HIS WATCH AND CHAIN.

LOOK HERE, SERGEANT--

YOU PASSED HIM FIT,

SO I HANDED HIM OVER
TO STAFF WILLIAMS.

HE WAS--

WELL, HE WAS KEPT OUT
IN THE SUN TOO LONG.

I CHECKED ON HIS RECORDS.

BASE JOB IN AN OFFICE.

WELL, ANYBODY
COULD SEE THAT.

SUDDENLY TO BE DRILLING
FOR HOUR AFTER HOUR

IN THE BLAZING SUNSHINE...

WELL, IT WAS FATAL
IN HIS CASE.

SOUNDS LIKE
ACCIDENTAL DEATH, SIR.

YEAH.

THE MAN WAS A-1.

BUT TO COME FROM A BASE
JOB TO THIS PLACE?

YOU UNDERSTAND
THESE THINGS

BETTER THAN ME, SIR.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH, THAT'S
WHAT I THOUGHT, SIR.

WELL, I HOPE SO.

I'VE DENTED A FEW,
SIR,

BUT I'VE NEVER
MURDERED ANY.

I WASN'T REFERRING
TO YOU.

THAT GOES FOR MY STAFF,
TOO, SIR.

GOOD NIGHT, SIR.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.

IF THERE'S ANOTHER
ACCIDENTAL DEATH

AND YOU'RE IN ANY WAY
CONNECTED WITH IT, STAFF...

WAITING TO FIND OUT

WHAT WILLIAMS
IS GOING TO PULL NEXT

IS LIKE WAITING
TO GO INTO ACTION.

YOU KNOW THE FEELING?

I'M THE FELLA WHO REFUSED
TO GO IN. REMEMBER ME?

YOU BEAT UP
YOUR OFFICER

BECAUSE HE ORDERED
THE BOYS IN?

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

'CAUSE HE ORDERED
THE BOYS IN.

WAS HE GOING IN
HISSELF?

NO...

I TOOK THEM IN.

RIGHT AWAY WE LOST
HALF OUR TANKS,

SO I PULLED THE BOYS OUT.

I PUT THE MAJOR
IN THE PICTURE,

TOLD HIM THE SITUATION
WAS HOPELESS.

IF THE MINES
DIDN'T GET US,

JERRY'S ANTITANK GUNS
WOULD.

WHAT DID THE MAJOR SAY?

GET BACK IN.

HE WAS VERY CALM
ABOUT IT.

HE SAID THAT
HE HAD HIS ORDERS.

NEXT THING I KNEW,

THE BOYS WERE
PULLING ME OFF HIM.

MAN, THERE'S TOO MANY
PEOPLE IN THIS ARMY

GIVING YOU WRONG ORDERS.

SOMEBODY
GOT TO HAVE THE GUTS

TO CANCEL SOME OF THEM
DAMN WRONG ORDERS.

THERE'D BE NO
BLOODY ARMY LEFT

IF WE DIDN'T OBEY ORDERS.

JOE...

YOU FEEL PRETTY BAD
ABOUT THIS, HUH?

LOOK, IT'S NOT JUST
DISOBEYING ORDERS.

IT'S RULES,
REGULATIONS, ME.

BUT, MAN, YOU SAVED
ALL THEM BOYS

FROM GETTING KILLED
FOR NOTHING.

THE TROOP SERGEANT
TOOK THEM IN.

I WAS PUT IN
TO CLOSE THE RANKS.

NONE OF THEM CAME BACK.

BLOODY COCKROACHES.

AS IF WE HAVEN'T GOT
ENOUGH TO SUFFER

WITHOUT YOU TWO
TALKING HALF THE NIGHT.

CAN'T YOU LET
A MAN SLEEP?

YOU AIN'T BEEN SLEEPING
MUCH YOURSELF, JOE.

NO.

ANOTHER
STINKING HOT DAY.

[SNORING]

YOU CAN PRACTICALLY
HEAR IT BOILING ALREADY.

LOOK AT MONTY.
FLAT OUT.

WAKE UP!

WHO DONE THAT?

I DID.

YOU WANT
TO WATCH IT, MATE.

YOU JUST WANT
TO WATCH IT.

[MOSQUITO BUZZING]

SOMEBODY OUGHT TO WRITE
TO THE M.P. ABOUT THIS DUMP.

YEAH, WHY DON'T YOU?

HIM? I BET
HE CAN'T EVEN WRITE.

WHAT'S SO CLEVER

ABOUT BEING ABLE
TO WRITE, THEN?

THE SECRET
IN THIS OLD WORLD, MATE,

IS TO USE YOUR LOAF.

MAYBE I CAN'T READ,

BUT WHEN IT COMES
TO KNOCKING OFF STUFF,

I'M WAY OUT IN FRONT
ON ME OWN.

I'LL BET YOU ARE.

YOU'RE A FAIR SAMPLE
OF THE NO-TALENT CLASS.

THIEVING THREE BOTTLES
OF WHISKEY.

BLIMEY.

I DIDN'T THIEVE THEM,
MAN.

I DRANK THEM.

BET HE CAN'T WRITE
NEITHER.

MONTY, JUST BECAUSE
I'M BLACK,

DO I HAVE TO BE
DAMN IGNORANT, TOO?

YOU BLACKS AIN'T
GOT THE BRAINS

OF US WHITES.

LISTEN TO THAT MAN.

YOU GOT IT
DOWNSTAIRS, MATE,

BUT WE GOT IT UPSTAIRS.

LIVE UP TREES,
YOU BLOKES DO.

I SEEN A FILM
ABOUT HIS TRIBE ONCE.

IT'S CALLED
"TARZAN, THE APE MAN."

WHEN CHARLIE BLOGS
FOUND YOUR LOT,

YOU WAS WALKING AROUND
STARKERS,

LIVING ON MONKEY NUTS.

SO THIS IS A MEMBER
OF THE GREAT WHITE RACE,

AND THERE'S PLENTY
LIKE MONTY.

WE JUST CALL THEM
WHITE TRASH.

I DON'T GO
FOR THAT EXPRESSION--

"WHITE TRASH."

WHAT'S STAFF WILLIAMS?

BELT UP!

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR
ABOUT WILLIAMS.

THAT I CAN BELIEVE.

I'M MAKING A REPORT
ABOUT WILLIAMS.

NOW LISTEN, ROBERTS,

WE'RE ALL AWARE
OF WHAT HAPPENED,

BUT THERE'S NOTHING
WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.

YEAH.

IT'S A PITY
ABOUT STEVENS.

WE'RE ALL IN SYMPATHY.

HE HAD
A ROUGH DEAL.

SO I CAN COUNT ON YOU
WHEN I GO TO THE COMMANDANT?

TO INQUIRE AFTER
HIS HEALTH OR WHAT?

OF COURSE.
AND THEN WE'LL SLAP

A MURDER CHARGE
AGAINST WILLIAMS.

[BELL RINGING]

WAKEY, WAKEY!

RISE AND SHINE!
RISE AND SHINE!

WHO KILLED STEVENS?

YOU HEAR THAT?

ARE YOU GOING TO SIT
ON YOUR JACKSIES

AND DO NOTHING?

[PRISONERS SHOUTING
AND BANGING ON BARS]

[BLOWS WHISTLE]

TAKE OVER, STAFF!

STAFF!

WHAT THE HELL'S
GOING ON HERE?

SIR, THE PRISONERS.

SOUNDS LIKE
A VICTORY CELEBRATION.

GET EVERY
AVAILABLE STAFF HERE

ON THE DOUBLE.

ARMED, SIR?

WHERE THE HELL

DO YOU THINK
YOU ARE...CHICAGO?

STAFF!

LET THEM OUT!

I SAID LET THEM OUT!

IT'S TOO EARLY
FOR BREAKFAST.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

STEVENS!

STAFF BURTON!

SIR!

WE'VE HAD A MIRACLE.
THERE'S A MAN

RETURNED
FROM THE DEAD.

TAKE HIM BACK
TO THE MORTUARY.

THE MORTUARY, SIR?

TO THE MORTUARY
VIA THE HILL.

GIVE HIM
A LAST GOOD RUN

BEFORE WE BURY HIM.

DOUBLE HIM AWAY.

LEFT, RIGHT,
LEFT, RIGHT.

STAFF!

SIR!

DOUBLE AWAY AND GET ME
A COPY OF THE KRs.

SIR!

NAME!

JOHNSON, SIR.

DID YOU START
THE MUTINY?

I DIDN'T START
NOTHING, SIR.

THEN WHAT WAS ALL
THE NOISE IN AID OF,

EXERCISING YOUR LUNGS?

WHO KILLED STEVENS?

STAFF.
SIR!

DOUBLE THIS MAN OUT
TO THE MORTUARY!

SHOW HIM THE BODY.

IF HE FINDS ANY MARKS,
ABRASIONS,

OR BULLET WOUNDS
ON THE BODY,

TAKE HIM OVER
TO THE COMMANDANT'S OFFICE

AND STAY WITH HIM

WHILE HE WRITES OUT
HIS STATEMENT.

THEN LET HIM SEE
THE COMMANDANT ON HIS OWN

SO HE CAN SPEAK FREELY.

YES, SIR.

DOUBLE OUT!

DOUBLE OUT!

LEFT, RIGHT!
LEFT, RIGHT!

LEFT, RIGHT!
LEFT, RIGHT!

NOW, YOU'VE ALL BEEN
MAKING A HELL OF A RACKET!

THERE'LL BE NO MORE OF IT,

OR I'LL HAVE THE LOT
OF YOU OVER THE HILL,

EVERY DAMN ONE OF YOU!

NOW IF YOU'VE
ANY COMPLAINTS,

YOU'RE FREE TO SEE
THE COMMANDANT.

[JEERING
AND WHISTLING]

ANY MORE TROUBLE...

AND I'LL READ YOU
THE RIOT ACT.

YOU KNOW HOW LONG
IT TAKES?

AND IF THAT DOESN'T
HAVE ANY EFFECT,

I'LL CHARGE THE
RINGLEADERS WITH MUTINY!

WHO'S THE RINGLEADERS?

EVERY FIFTH MAN!

THINK THAT OVER.

I DON'T WASTE MY
BREATH ON IDLE THREATS.

NOW, LET'S HAVE YOU
LOOKING LIKE SOLDIERS.

PRISONERS, ATTENTION!

STAND AT EASE!
LET'S HAVE THAT AGAIN!

PRISONERS...

ATTENTION!

BETTER.

NOW, ANY MAN HERE
GOT ANY COMPLAINTS?

ANYBODY WANT TO
SEE THE COMMANDANT?

ANYBODY WITNESS
ANY MURDERS RECENTLY?

SCARED TO OPEN
YOUR TRAPS OR WHAT?

ANYBODY WISHING TO
SEE THE COMMANDANT,

STEP FORWARD.

WHY DO YOU
WANT TO SEE HIM?

I WISH TO REPORT, SIR,

STAFF WILLIAMS RESPONSIBLE
FOR STEVENS' DEATH.

WITNESSES?

ALL THE MEN IN MY CELL
KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, SIR.

BARTLETT,
DOUBLE OVER HERE.

YOU SAW STAFF WILLIAMS

MURDER PRIVATE STEVENS,
IS THAT RIGHT?

NO, SIR, I NEVER SAW
NOTHING OF THE KIND.

DON'T LIE TO ME,
LAD.

YOU SAW HIM WITH

BLOOD-STAINED HANDS,
DIDN'T YOU, NOW?

NO, SIR. REQUEST TO BE
MOVED TO ANOTHER CELL.

REQUEST REFUSED.
GET BACK INTO LINE.

McGRATH,
DOUBLE OVER HERE.

IS IT RIGHT YOU SAW

A MURDER COMMITTED,
McGRATH?

NO, SIR.

BUT I'LL BE
COMMITTING ONE

IF ROBERTS DOESN'T STOP
SQUAWKING.

DOUBLE BACK.

KING,
DOUBLE OVER HERE.

NOW, LET'S HEAR
FROM YOU, KING.

SIR, ST-STAFF WILLIAMS
MURDERED STEVENS, ALL RIGHT.

MY ONLY WORRY'S HOW
WE GOING TO PROVE IT.

DOUBLE AWAY, KING.

STAFF WILLIAMS!

YES, SIR!

DID YOU HEAR THAT?

YES, SIR.

SERIOUS ALLEGATION,
THAT IS.

HE'S LYING, SIR.

I NEVER LAID A FINGER
ON STEVENS.

STAFF HARRIS!

SIR!

I WANT ROBERTS AND KING

ON COMMANDANT'S PARADE,
0930 HOURS.

YES, SIR.

NOTIFY THE MEDICAL OFFICER

HE'S WANTED AT

THE COMMANDANT'S
OFFICE, 0930 HOURS.

SEEMS STEVENS
DIDN'T DIE OF SUNSTROKE.

HE WAS MURDERED...

IN COLD BLOOD!

IS THAT RIGHT, SIR?

LET HIM BE SURE
TO BE THERE.

HIS PROFESSIONAL
REPUTATION'S AT STAKE.

OUR M.O., SIR?

I WON'T WEAR THAT.

IT'S WELL-KNOWN HE
CAN MAKE THE LAME WALK,

THE BLIND SEE,

AND THE MAIMED
DANCE OVER THE HILL.

[LAUGHTER]

WHAT ELSE
CAN HE DO, STAFF?

RIDE A BICYCLE
TO THE SEA, NO HANDS,

AND TURN WATER
INTO WINE, SIR.

[LAUGHTER]

BUT CAN HE RAISE
THE DEAD, STAFF?

NO, SIR,
HE CAN'T RAISE THEM,

BUT HE CAN LOWER THEM.

[LAUGHTER]

YES, I GOT YOUR
VOCATION PLACED NOW.

YOU SHOULD HAVE
BEEN A MUSIC HALL COMIC.

YES, SIR.

PERMISSION TO ORGANIZE
A SMOKING CONCERT

FOR THE PRISONERS.

Prisoners: YAY!

YOU'VE ORGANIZED TOO BLOODY
MANY ALREADY, CHARLIE.

[LAUGHTER]

THINK I DON'T KNOW?

GOT A LIGHT, SIR?

NO, BUT I'VE GOT A PACK
TO PUT ON YOUR BACK

IF I CATCH YOU SMOKING.

[LAUGHTER]

BARTLETT AND McGRATH,
STAND BY FOR A CALL.

YOU MAY BE NEEDED.

NOW, YOU'LL ALL
BE HAVING CHEESE

WITH YOUR LUNCH TODAY.

Prisoners: YAY!

NOW, GET BACK
INTO YOUR CELLS

AND LOOK SHARP ABOUT IT.

YOU'VE ALL
HAD A LOVELY TIME.

STAFFS, TAKE OVER.

* KISS ME GOOD NIGHT,
SERGEANT MAJOR *

* TUCK ME IN
MY LITTLE WOODEN BED *

* WE ALL LOVE YOU,
SERGEANT MAJOR *

* WHEN WE HEAR YOU CALLING,
SHAKE A LEG *

* DON'T FORGET TO
WAKE ME IN THE MORNING *

* AND BRING ME 'ROUND
A NICE HOT CUP OF TEA *

* OH, BLIMEY *

* KISS ME GOOD NIGHT,
SERGEANT MAJOR *

TRYING TO GET AT ME,
EH, CHARLIE?

WHO, ME?

AS FROM NOW, YOU'LL
BE TAKING ORDERS

FROM WILLIAMS.

SO THAT'S
THE WAY IT IS.

I KNOW YOU WON'T MIND.

YOU'RE ALWAYS BRAGGING

YOU DON'T SEEK
PROMOTION OR FAVORS.

I'D SOONER BE OUT OF IT,
SIR. WELL OUT OF IT.

YOU'RE GETTING
PASSED OVER, STAFF.

INSIDE, KING.

THINK YOU CAN
GET AWAY WITH THIS?

I SHOULD BE
ASKING YOU THAT.

THANK YOU, STAFF.

YOU KNOW WHAT
THE OUTCOME WILL BE?

THERE'LL BE A COURT
OF INQUIRY

AND I'LL
BE EXONERATED.

NAH. YOU'RE GETTING
NERVOUS, WILLIAMS.

YOU WANT ME,
DON'T YOU?

YOU FANCY YOUR CHANCES?

YOU MAKE A MOVE
AND I'LL DROP YOU.

NOT A BAD IDEA.

JUST US TWO.

THERE'S A SOLITARY
AT THE END.

NOBODY CAN
SEE INTO THAT.

I'LL LOCK US INSIDE,
ROBERTS, JUST US TWO.

YOU'RE ON.

MARCH OVER.

ME FIRST.

GUARD!

LET HIM GO.

GO BACK
TO YOUR DUTIES.

COME ON,
DOUBLE AWAY!

I WANT NO MORE TROUBLE,

NO MORE OUT OF YOU.

YOU'LL LEARN DISCIPLINE.

LEARN WE MEAN BUSINESS.

AND YOU'D BETTER DO SOME
QUICK THINKING, ROBERTS.

STAFF,
I WANT TO TRANSFER

OUT OF HERE.

YOU'RE GOING OUT,
BARTLETT, YOU LITTLE RUNT,

OUT OVER THE HILL.

GET YOUR PACKS ON,
ALL OF YOU.

GET ROBERTS UP.
HE'S COMING WITH US.

I'LL BE BACK FOR YOU.

YOU'VE GOT FIVE MINUTES.

JOE'S ON
COMMANDANT'S ORDERS.

HOW'S WILLIAMS GOING
TO EXPLAIN THIS?

YOU THINK
THE COMMANDANT'S

NEVER SET EYES

ON A PRISONER WHO'S BEEN
DONE OVER BEFORE?

I GOT SOMETHING
TO SAY ABOUT THIS.

I'LL MAKE DAMN SURE
HE LISTENS.

IF NOT, I'M
GET WORD OUTSIDE.

YOU TWO DRIVE
A FELLA UP THE WALL.

SOMEBODY'S GOING
TO FIND OUT

WHAT'S
GOING ON IN HERE,

WHAT'S HAPPENING.

WE'RE INSIDE,
SERGEANT MAJOR, INSIDE.

THE BLOODY WORLD OUTSIDE
DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN.

WE'RE THE HORRIBLE 2%.

THE DODGY BOYS,
THE SPIVS,

THE COWARDS,
THE THIEVES.

WE'RE THE WEAK CHAIN
IN THE SYSTEM.

OH, TO HELL WITH YOU.

INTO YOUR KIT, ROBERTS.

NO. NOT FOR YOU,
WILLIAMS.

RIGHT. TWO VOLUNTEERS TO
DRAG ROBERTS OVER THE HILL.

YOU BARTLETT,
YOU McGRATH.

YES, STAFF.

McGRATH.

TO HELL WITH THIS.

I'M GIVING YOU
AN ORDER, McGRATH.

LISTEN, WILLIAMS,

THE ARMY DIDN'T BUY ME
IN A SLAVE MARKET.

I'LL DOUBLE OVER
THE HILL FOR YOU,

BUT I'LL NOT TAKE
ANOTHER MAN WITH ME!

RIGHT. I'LL GET ALL
THE VOLUNTEERS I WANT

AND HAVE THE LOT
OF YOU OUT!

HE'S BARMY.

I GOT TO GET
OUT OF THIS BUGGER.

SHUT UP!

WELL, WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU, THEN?

JOE, YOU TELL HIM.
GO ON.

I'LL OBEY ANY ORDER.

I--I'M NOT LOOKING
FOR NO TROUBLE.

GET!

STAFF!

STAFF, I'VE GOT
TO GET OUT OF HERE!

ALL RIGHT,
CUT IT OUT.

STAFF, THEY'RE
CRUCIFYING ME.

MOVE HIM, STAFF.

GET YOUR SMALL KIT
AND REPORT TO THE M.O.

NO. I'M ON
COMMANDANT'S ORDERS.

I'M NOT MISSING THAT.

LET ME SEE THIS.

KING, McGRATH, CARRY
HIM OVER TO THE M.O.

I'LL SEE YOU SEE
THE COMMANDANT.

DON'T WORRY.
COME ON, SHARP.

EASY WITH HIM. EASY.

ALL RIGHT, WATCH THAT
GOING THROUGH THE DOOR.

KEEP YOUR HEAD LOW.

PUT ME IN
ANOTHER CELL, STAFF.

I'VE HAD A BELLYFUL
OF THIS LOT.

OH, CLEAR OFF.

WELL, I'M ONLY LOOKING
AFTER NUMBER ONE, AIN'T I?!

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH EVERYBODY IN THIS...

BLOODY PLACE?

THEY'RE NOT HERE, STAFF.

THEY'VE GONE.

STAFF HARRIS HAS TURNED
THEM OVER TO THE M.O.

BACK TO YOUR DETAIL.

ABOUT TURN,
DOUBLE MARCH!

LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT,
RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT.

GET HIM OVER HERE.

WHAT'S THIS, STAFF?

ROBERTS IS
REPORTING SICK.

DOUBLE OUTSIDE,
YOU TWO.

O.K., DOUBLE OUT.

ON YOUR FEET, ROBERTS.

JERK HIM
OUT OF IT, STAFF.

HE'S GOT
A BUSTED FOOT.

R.S.M. Wilson:
WHAT THE HELL ARE

YOU TWO DOING
OUTSIDE HERE?

Mack: BROUGHT ROBERTS
OVER, SIR. HE'S POORLY.

ON YOUR FEET.

HE'S GOT A FOOT
INJURY, SIR.

ON YOUR FEET, ROBERTS,

AND STAND TO ATTENTION.

MARCH OUTSIDE.

LEFT, RIGHT,

LEFT, RIGHT.

KEEP MARCHING.

DOUBLE INSIDE, YOU TWO.

RIGHT, DOUBLE IN.

LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT,

LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT,

LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT,

LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT,

LEFT, RIGHT.

HALT!

ABOUT TURN.

OHH! PARA 528,
SECTION 7--

AN OFFICER WILL
NOT REPROVE

A WARRANT
OFFICER OR AN N.C.O.

IN THE PRESENCE
OR HEARING

OF A PRIVATE SOLDIER.

YOU KNOW THE KRRs,
DON'T YOU?

YES, SIR.

YOU'RE BREAKING
EVERY RULE IN THE BOOK.

AND YOU LIVE BY IT,
DON'T YOU?

WE'RE BOTH REGULARS.
WE ARE THE ARMY.

WHAT THE HELL ELSE--

WELL, I LIVED
BY THE BOOK.

PARA THIS AND
PARA UNDER SECTION

"X," "Y," ZED THAT.

BUT QUEEN VICTORIA
IS DEAD.

IT'S OUT OF DATE.

WHAT KIND OF A SOLDIER
ARE YOU?

I'M A LIVE ONE,
UNLESS WILLIAMS

HAS GOT
OTHER PLANS FOR ME.

DISCIPLINE. THE ARMY
IS RUN ON DISCIPLINE.

I'M A REGULAR SOLDIER

BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET
A BLOODY JOB

IN CIVVY STREET.

BUT I WAS A GOOD TOY,
CLOCKWORK SOLDIER,

JUST LIKE YOU ARE.

YOU THROW
AN ORDER AT ME,

AND I COULD PICK IT UP
LIKE A DOG PICKS A BONE.

ON YOUR FEET,
AND YOU LISTEN--

NO, YOU LISTEN!

THREE BLOODY YEARS
IN THE DESERT!

THREE BLOODY YEARS

FIGHTING WITH
UNDERPAID GUNMEN!

THAT'S WHAT WE ARE.

TREASON!
YOU'RE TALKING TREASON!

GET ON YOUR FEET!

O.K., TREASON.

THAT'S, UH, PARA 531,
UH, SECTION 7--

ANY PERSON COMMITTING,
UH, ANY TRAITOROUS

OR, UH,
UH, MUTINOUS PRACTICE

MAY BE, UH, SENTENCED
TO PENAL SERVITUDE

FOR THE TERM
OF HIS NATURAL LIFE.

LIFE!

ALL RIGHT.

ALL I KNOW IS THAT

I CAN'T DO THINGS
THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE

TO ME ANYMORE!

YOU CAN. YOU CAN STILL
LIVE BY THE BOOK!

BUT IT'S OUT OF DATE!

IT'S STUPID
AND OUT OF DATE!

SO, YOU QUIT, EH?

GLASSHOUSE PERMANENT
FOR THE REST OF THE WAR?

RIGHT!

YOU'D...SIGN AWAY
OUR BLOODY EMPIRE?

YES. GIVE IT TO JACKO.
MAYBE HE COULD USE IT.

TO THE NIGGERS?

THEY COULDN'T RUN
A KNOCKING SHOP.

ON YOUR FEET!
STAND UP AND STAND STILL.

YES, I'M ON MY FEET.

WELL, WHAT'S THE CHARGE,

FAILING
TO OBEY AN ORDER?

OR, NO, DRUNK IN CHARGE
OF A CIGARETTE LIGHTER?

OH, YOU CRAZY BASTARD.
YOU'D PROP UP DEAD MEN

AND INSPECT THEM
IF YOU WAS ORDERED TO.

RIGHT. YOU'RE RIGHT!

KEEP THOSE MEN
ON THE MOVE!

ATTENTION!

ATTENTION!

ATTENTION!

YOU USED TO BE AN NCO,
YOU USED TO BE A SOLDIER,

BUT YOU'VE FORGOTTEN.

I'M GOING TO TEACH YOU,
TEACH YOU FROM THE BEGINNING.

I'LL MAKE YOU INTO SOMETHING
THE ARMY CAN BE PROUD OF.

YOU'LL DOUBLE DRILL,

DO ANY DAMN THING
I TELL YOU.

ROBERTS,
YOU'LL BE LOST--

LOST UNLESS SOMEBODY'S
SHOUTING AN ORDER AT YOU.

STAFF!

SIR!

HOW DID ROBERTS
GET INTO THIS STATE?

BEEN FIGHTING WITH ONE OF
THE PRISONERS, SIR--McGRATH.

I SEE.

HE GOT STUCK
INTO ME AS WELL.

DID HE?

I TOOK HIM OUT OF THE CELL,
GAVE HIM THE ORDER TO DOUBLE.

HE REFUSED AND STRUCK ME.
WE HAD TO RESTRAIN HIM, SIR.

ANY WITNESSES,
STAFF?

HENSHAW AND COLBY, SIR.

HOPE HE DIDN'T BEAT
YOU UP TOO BAD, STAFF.

IF HENSHAW AND COLBY
HADN'T COME ALONG, SIR--

IT'S CLEAR ROBERTS IS
A DANGEROUS FELLOW,

BUT IF YOU EVER HAVE TO
RESTRAIN HIM AGAIN,

I DON'T WANT HIM LOOKING

LIKE A BATTLE CASUALTY,
UNDERSTAND?

HE CAME AFTER ME AND WENT
SMACK INTO THE WALL, SIR.

HE MUST HAVE.

THERE'S NO OTHER
LOGICAL EXPLANATION.

McGRATH DID
MOST OF THE DAMAGE.

YES. CHARGE HIM WITH
FIGHTING McGRATH,

COLBY, AND HENSHAW,

AND WITH
INSUBORDINATION.

McGRATH DIDN'T BEAT ME UP.
WILLIAMS DID!

WITNESSES?

STAFF,

FROM NOW ON, I'M LOOKING
AFTER HIS WELFARE.

SIR, I CAN MANAGE HIM.

NO, YOU CAN'T, STAFF.

YOU'RE
A BLOODY REVELATION.

BUT LET ME TELL YOU,

THIS IS YOUR
LAST CHANCE.

BEAT UP ANOTHER
ONE OF MY LADS,

AND I'LL HAVE YOU
INSIDE HERE.

AND IF THE PRISONERS
DON'T CRIPPLE YOU,

I WILL.

NOW GET THE OTHERS
OVER HERE.

YES, SIR.

DOUBLE OVER,
YOU TWO!

COME ON, MOVE IT!

LEFT FOOT, LEFT FOOT,
LEFT FOOT, LEFT FOOT!

HALT!

STAND STILL!

McGRATH,

YOU HAD A FIGHT WITH
ROBERTS, IS THAT RIGHT?

WE HAD
A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE.

AND YOU
WITNESSED IT.

THEY HAD A SCRAP.

YOU MADE A RIGHT JOB
OF HIM, DIDN'T YOU?

I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE STATE HE'S IN.

THEN WHO IS?

STAFF WILLIAMS, SIR.

HE TOOK JOE OUT.

WHEN JOE COME BACK,
HE WAS LIKE THAT.

THERE WAS NO DAMN WAY

McGRATH HAD ANYTHING
TO DO WITH IT.

STAND AT ATTENTION
WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!

NOW, NIGGER BOY,
TELL ME AGAIN,

WHAT DID YOU SEE?

YOU BLACK APE,
I'M TALKING TO YOU!

DO YOU WANT TO DO A DOSE
OF SOLITARY?

YOU STINKING,
FILTHY NIGGER,

ANSWER ME!
WHAT DID YOU SEE?

I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL,

YOU--YOU--YOU--YOU...

YOU RUDDY USELESS
SERGEANT MAJOR!

IN HELL!

LOOK AT THAT.

DANCING ABOUT LIKE
A FLEA-BITTEN MONKEY.

THINKS HE'S STILL
IN THE JUNGLE.

I'LL TEACH YOU YOU'RE
IN THE BRITISH ARMY.

I--I QUIT
YOUR STINKING ARMY!

YOU HEAR THAT,

YOU LOUDMOUTHED
SERGEANT MAJOR.

I GIVE UP THIS
DAMN SOLDERING.

NOW WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA DO ABOUT IT?!

THROW EVERY CHARGE
IN THE BOOK AT HIM, STAFF.

SIR.

BUT FIRST OF ALL,
SEE THAT HARRIS

HAS HIM OUTSIDE
THE COMMANDANT'S OFFICE

0930 HOURS.

THE COMMANDANT
CAN HEAR HIS CASE.

YES, SIR. YOU'LL
BE THERE, SIR?

NO, STAFF. I SHALL BE
BUSY MAKING ARRANGEMENTS

FOR STEVENS' FUNERAL.

YOU'RE GOING TO LET THEM
SHOOT THEIR MOUTHS OFF

AND NOT BE THERE, SIR?

YOU WORRIED, STAFF?

ANY CAUSE TO BE?

I HAVEN'T.

LET THEM SHOUT,
THEN I'LL HAVE MY SAY.

DOUBLE AWAY, YOU TWO.
LEFT TURN, DOUBLE MARCH!

MOVE IT!
MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!

LEFT, RIGHT,
LEFT, RIGHT.

GO ON, DOUBLE.

DOUBLE!

DOUBLE!

HA HA HA HA
HA HA HA HA.

HA HA HA HA HA.

OH, YOU'RE A CLEVER
BOY, YOU ARE. HA HA HA.

I QUIT THIS ARMY.

DON'T BE DAFT.

CLEVER BOY.

WHAT'S THE CLEVER
THING TO DO,

GO CRAWLING
TO WILLIAMS

THE WAY YOU DO?

JUST WATCH
YOUR BIG MOUTH!

I'LL KILL THAT MAN

IF HE LIFT
ONE FINGER TO ME--

ONE FINGER.

YEAH, GO ON.
YOU'RE ALL SHOUT.

I KNOW HOW TOUGH
YOU ARE.

NOW, WATCH YOUR STEP.

YOU USELESS ARTICLE.

MADE IN YORKSHIRE.

EXPORTED TO
THE MIDDLE EAST

AND MARKED FRAGILE!

COME ON!

GO ON!

YOU'RE THE BIG
MAN IN THE CELL.

YOU'RE THE HERO
OF THE CELL.

COME ON!

WHAT THE HELL
IS THIS NOW?

COME ON,
BREAK IT UP!

BREAK IT UP!
BREAK IT UP!

COME ON!

COME ON,
BREAK IT UP!

YOU'RE ON
COMMANDANT'S ORDERS.

GET DRESSED, KING.
GET OUTSIDE.

I QUIT THE ARMY!

GET DRESSED!

I'M--I'M FINISHED
WITH THE ARMY,

AND THIS IS WHAT I THINK
OF BRITISH JUSTICE.

STARK RAVING BONKERS.

OUTSIDE, ALL OF YOU.

KING, WHAT THE HELL'S
WRONG WITH YOU?

I'M FINISHED
WITH THE ARMY,

SO I DON'T
WEAR THE UNIFORM.

YOU'RE GOING
INTO THE COMMANDANT'S

DRESSED LIKE THIS THEN?

UNLESS YOU
GOT A TOP HAT

AND A BONE TO PUT
THROUGH ME NOSE.

THAT'S THE WAY
YOU WHITE FOLKS THINK

WE DRESS BACK HOME.

THIS OUGHT TO BE
ONE DAY TO REMEMBER.

COME ON, THEN,
ALL RIGHT, DOUBLE!

COME ON, DOUBLE!
LEFT, LEFT,

LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT.

LEFT, LEFT, LEFT,
RIGHT, LEFT.

[LAUGHTER AND SHOUTING]

THERE YOU ARE, ROBERTS.

WHAT'S THE VERDICT--
MEDICINE OR DUTY?

GO BACK TO YOUR CELL,
PICK UP YOUR KIT,

THEN I'M RECOMMENDING
YOU FOR HOSPITAL.

I WOULDN'T DO THAT.

THE R.S.M.
WOULDN'T LIKE THAT.

I DECIDE WHAT'S--

YOU DECIDE NOTHING.

YOU JUST DO
WHAT YOU'RE TOLD.

LOOK HERE, ROBERTS,

I'M MAKING A FULL REPORT
ABOUT YOU.

WELL, YOU'D BETTER,

BECAUSE I'M FIGHTING
EVERY ONE OF YOU...

IN THIS LOUSY DUMP.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU.

LEFT, RIGHT,
LEFT, RIGHT.

LEFT, LEFT,
LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT.

LEFT, LEFT.

YOU'VE HAD ME
FOR A SOLDIER.

WOULDN'T GET ME IN
THE BOY SCOUTS AFTER THAT.

SHUT UP, LAD!

KING, ATTENTION!

MR. HARRIS, YOU MAY TELL
MISTER COMMANDANT

THAT MR. JACKO KING
WILL SEE HIM NOW.

HA HA HA HA HA.

HEY, KING,
IS THAT RIGHT?

HA HA--[SNORTS]

GRRR! GRRR!

GET BACK TO WORK!

AAAAHHH! AAAAHHH!

HA HA HA HA HA.

AAAAHHHH! AAAAHHHH!

AAAAHHHH!

[GRUNTING]

OOHH! HA HA HA.

HA HA HA HA HA.

HORACE, SIT DOWN.

DON'T STAND UP
FOR ME.

I'VE JAGGED
IN ME RANK.

AHH!

I RECOMMEND
THIS BRAND,

BUT I CANNOT
RECOMMEND

YOUR HOTEL,
HORACE.

THE SERVICE
IS LOUSY.

STAFF.

SIR! HE'S ROUND
THE BEND, SIR.

I CAN'T DO
ANYTHING WITH HIM.

SO, YOU DON'T
LIKE THE HOTEL?

NOT SINCE ONE OF
THE GUESTS DIED, NO.

STAFF, GET
THIS MADMAN OUT.

SEND THE R.S.M. TO ME.

HE'S MAKING
FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS, SIR.

WHAT?

STEVENS DIED, SIR.

WHY WASN'T I TOLD?

YOU WEREN'T HERE.

SEND THE R.S.M. TO ME
THE MINUTE HE GETS BACK.

WHO DIED?

GEORGE STEVENS!

WILLIAMS
MURDERED HIM!

GET THIS
MANIAC OUT! OUT!

SIR!

KING, DOUBLE OUT,
LAD! DOUBLE!

DOUBLE!

DOUBLE!

HORACE...

WILLIAMS
MURDERED STEVENS.

DON'T FORGET THAT.

HE MURDERED HIM.

ALL RIGHT,
GET BACK TO YOUR DETAILS.

ALL RIGHT!
PARTY, HALT!

GET THOSE PRISONERS
OUT OF HERE, STAFF HARRIS.

ABOUT TURN!

DOUBLE MARCH!

ROBERTS IMAGINES THAT
HE'S BEING PERSECUTED.

IMAGINES HE WAS
BEATEN UP

BY ONE OF THE STAFF,
DOES HE?

EVEN THAT.

SO HE WAS.

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

SO HE WAS.

YOU REALIZE I'LL
HAVE TO REPORT THAT.

LET'S HOPE YOU DO.

IF IT'S TRUE.

YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE.

YES, HARRIS, BUT WOULD YOU
TELL THE COMMANDANT THAT?

YES. YES, I WILL.

I WILL.

THERE WILL HAVE
TO BE AN INQUIRY.

YOU WILL HAVE TO
GIVE EVIDENCE.

YES, I KNOW, BUT YOURS
IS THE ONLY EVIDENCE

THE COURT
WILL TAKE SERIOUSLY.

AFTER THE R.S.M.'S TESTIFIED

THAT I'M USELESS
AS A PRISON OFFICER,

FOLLOWED BY EVERY SCREW
HE CAN MUSTER AND WILLIAMS--

OF COURSE
I'LL NEED EVIDENCE,

BUT THIS MAN'S HERE

FOR STRIKING
AN OFFICER.

THEY'LL HAVE A VERY
STRONG CASE, HARRIS.

EVIDENCE?
IF YOU DON'T MOVE SOON,

YOU'LL HAVE ALL
THE EVIDENCE YOU NEED--

HIS COFFIN.

YOU TWO GET YOUR KITS.
YOU'RE GOING INTO SOLITARY.

ABOUT TURN! DOUBLE IN!

LEFT, RIGHT! LEFT, RIGHT!
LEFT, RIGHT! LEFT, RIGHT!

COME ON! MOVE IT!

THE MEN ARE NOT
TO COME IN HERE, STAFF.

WELL, MY ORDERS,
SIR, WERE--

I'M GIVING
THE ORDERS NOW,

AND I HAVE A VERY
SERIOUS COMPLAINT

AGAINST YOU, WILLIAMS.

FROM ROBERTS, SIR?

AND STAFF HARRIS.

HIS DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

I'VE JUST HAD A WORD
WITH THE COMMANDANT,

AND I'LL ANSWER ANY QUERIES

AS TO HOW I TREAT PRISONERS

AT THE COURT
OF INQUIRY, SIR.

I'LL SEE THE OTHER
PRISONERS NOW.

IN FAIRNESS, SIR, SEND
THE R.S.M. BEFORE YOU--

I'LL CONDUCT THIS
MY OWN WAY.

HAVE YOU ANY COMPLAINTS?

SIR, I WANT YOU
TO FIX IT FOR ME

TO GET POSTED
OUT OF THIS CELL, SIR.

I CAN'T TAKE MUCH MORE
OF THIS SHOUT.

GET ME OUT OF HERE, SIR.

YOU...YOU, ANY COMPLAINTS?

I FALSELY CONFESSED
TO THE COMMANDANT

THAT I HALF
BEAT UP ROBERTS,

AND THAT'S WHY I'M
GOING TO SOLITARY.

I'M TELLING YOU

THE ARMY'S HAD ME
FOR A SOLDIER

IF SOMETHING'S
NOT DONE ABOUT THIS.

RIGHT. GO ON.

I HAVEN'T ALWAYS SEEN
EYE TO EYE WITH YOU,

ROBERTS,
BUT GOOD LUCK.

McGRATH, WATCH OUT
FOR YOURSELF.

WHY IS THIS MAN
IMPROPERLY DRESSED?

REFUSES TO WEAR
KING'S UNIFORM.

STAND TO ATTENTION.

OH, NO. NO, MAN.

I DON'T RECOGNIZE
THE ARMY

OR THE OFFICERS.
I QUIT.

I SAID STAND TO ATTENTION.

YOU'RE TALKING TO
A CIVILIAN, CUTHBERT.

GIVE HIM TO ME, SIR.
I'LL TEACH HIM.

JOE, YOU TELL ME
YOUR VISITING HOURS,

I'LL COME UP
AND SEE YOU SOMETIME.

HARRIS, TAKE THIS LUNATIC
INTO THE CORRIDOR

AND KEEP HIM THERE
TILL I'M READY FOR HIM.

YES, SIR.
AFTER YOU, MR. KING.

SEE YOU LATER, JOE.

O.K., MR. KING.

DOUBLE OUT!

DOUBLE!

BARTLETT, MOVE IT!

YOU SEE WHAT
WE'RE UP AGAINST, SIR?

IF YOU'RE EASY ON THEM,

WE WON'T BE ABLE TO DO
A DAMN THING WITH THEM,

WILL WE, SIR?

WHAT THE HELL
ARE THESE MEN DOING

IDLING HERE
IN THE CORRIDOR?

ORDERS, SIR.

WHOSE ORDERS?

M.O.'s.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE,
SIR?

I'M GIVING THESE MEN
A MEDICAL.

ON SICK REPORT,
ARE THEY? WHY?

IT'S NOT YOUR PLACE
TO QUESTION ME,

SERGEANT MAJOR.

SOON AS YOU PASS THEM
FIT, I WANT THEM, SIR.

I'VE HAD COMPLAINTS
ABOUT WILLIAMS' TREATMENT--

PRISONERS COMPLAINING?
WE GET THAT SOMETIMES.

KING JUST TRIED IT.
WALKED IN.

WALKED IN, MIND YOU,

ON THE COMMANDANT
HALF NAKED,

JUST IN HIS
TRIBAL FEATHERS.

WHAT KIND
OF A BLOODY FOOL

ARE YOU TRYING
TO MAKE OF ME, SIR?

THE COMPLAINT
AGAINST WILLIAMS

CAME FROM
STAFF HARRIS.

HARRIS.

WHAT HAVE YOU TOLD HIM?

I TOLD HIM THE TRUTH, SIR.

THE TRUTH?

WHAT THE HELL ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, SIR.
IT'S WILLIAMS'.

IT'S ME! ME!

WHO THE HELL
RUNS THIS PLACE?

RETRACT ALL YOU'VE
SAID, CHARLIE!

PUT YOUR FINGER
ON HIM, BERT. GET HIM.

YOU TELLING ME AGAIN
HOW TO RUN

THIS PLACE, ARE YOU?

OUTSIDE, STAFF!

SERGEANT MAJOR,

ROBERTS IS GOING
INTO HOSPITAL.

KEEP HIM HERE, SIR,
IN A CELL.

BE BETTER IF YOU
ATTEND HIM HERE, SIR.

SERGEANT MAJOR--

IN 25 YEARS,

I'VE NEVER KNOWN
A BALLS UP LIKE IT!

FROM NOW ON,
I'M CHECKING ON EVERY MAN,

EVERY PRISONER,
EVERY STAFF!

STAFF HARRIS.

SIR!

REPORT ON YOUR BROTHER
OFFICERS, WOULD YOU?

TRY AND UNDERMINE
MY AUTHORITY, EH?

A USELESS ARTICLE
LIKE YOU?

HARRIS, YOU'RE UNDER
CLOSE ARREST!

NO. DON'T PUSH ME TOO HARD.
YOU'RE--

I'M BREAKING YOU!

NOW, BEFORE YOU'RE CONFINED
TO YOUR QUARTERS,

DO SOMETHING USEFUL.

GET A CELL READY
FOR ROBERTS.

NO. HELP ROBERTS
WITH HIS KIT.

HE'S GOING TO HOSPITAL.

I'M IN CHARGE
OF DISCIPLINE HERE, SIR!

YOU LOOK AFTER
YOUR DEPARTMENT,

AND I'LL LOOK AFTER MINE.

DON'T TRY AND CANCEL OUT
MY ORDERS!

I HAVE THE FINAL WORD

WHERE THE MEN'S HEALTH
IS CONCERNED.

PERHAPS I WAS HASTY.

I'VE HAD A DAY OF IT.

YES. SO HAS ROBERTS.

HE'S GOING INTO HOSPITAL.

PITY YOU DIDN'T
PUT ROBERTS

AND STEVENS
ON LIGHT DUTY, SIR.

WHAT?

I THOUGHT STEVENS
LOOKED DELICATE,

BUT THAT WASN'T
MY WORRY, WAS IT?

WHAT ARE YOU
DRIVING AT?

WELL, WERE THEY FIT?

LET'S START
WITH STEVENS.

WAS HE FIT?

IF I UNDERSTAND YOU RIGHT,

BY GOD, YOU'RE GOING TO BE
IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.

YOU GIVE HIM
A MEDICAL?

HE DID NOT.
I WAS THERE, WASN'T I?

PASSED HIM A-1 FIT
FOR PUNISHMENT.

I PUNISHED HIM
ALONGSIDE ROBERTS,

KING, BARTLETT,
AND McGRATH.

WELL, HE'S DEAD.

HEAT EXHAUSTION.

SUNSTROKE AND--

STEVENS
WAS A SICK MAN,

AND I ONLY CAUGHT ON

WHEN IT WAS TOO
LATE.

I'LL SWEAR TO IT.

YOUR NEGLECT
LUMBERED ME

WITH A DEAD MAN.

NOW, YOU PUT ROBERTS
INTO HOSPITAL

AND GIVE ME THE
CHANCE TO BREAK YOU.

SERGEANT MAJOR--

DON'T LET THEM
GET AWAY WITH IT.

SERGEANT MAJOR,
HE'S TRYING BLACKMAIL.

YOU HEARD HIM.

I'M PUTTING ROBERTS
IN A CELL.

LOOK, I GAVE AN ORDER.

GET ROBERTS
INTO HOSPITAL, SIR.

A COURT-MARTIAL WILL BREAK
YOU, SIR, NOT WILLIAMS.

SHUT YOUR TRAP, HARRIS.

THE COMMANDANT'S GOT
TO CHECK ON THIS LOT NOW.

I WON'T BE SLOW
IN TELLING HIM.

IT'S ME WHO'S GOING TO
BUST YOU, BERT. I'M SORRY.

I'LL DOUBLE HARRIS
TO HIS QUARTERS.

THAT'S NOT
THE SORT OF DOUBLING

YOU'RE GOING TO DO.

GET ROBERTS OUT.

ME. I'M RUNNING THIS PLACE.

YOU AIN'T RUNNING
THIS PLACE, BERT!

WILLIAMS IS!

LOOK AT HIM!
HE TOOK OVER DAYS AGO!

YOU STILL HAVEN'T
CAUGHT ON!

I'M REPORTING EVERYTHING
THAT HAPPENED HERE.

IT'S YOU I'M AFTER,

BUT I WON'T WORRY
TOO MUCH

IF YOU GO DOWN
WITH HIM.

I'M PHONING
FOR AN AMBULANCE.

ROBERTS IS
GOING TO HOSPITAL.

THEN I'M GOING TO SEE
THE AREA COMMANDER.

TRY AND BLACKMAIL ME,
WOULD YOU, WILLIAMS?

WELL, TRY IT.
GO ON. TRY IT.

HAVE YOU ANYTHING ELSE
TO SAY?

YES, SIR. YOU WON'T DO
ANY BETTER THAN STEVENS

ON THAT HILL.

WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING HERE?

GET BACK.

DO YOU HEAR ME?

I'M GIVING YOU
AN ORDER.

GET AWAY
FROM THAT DOOR.

MOVE ALONG, LADS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.

THANK YOU, SIR.

RIGHT, BARTLETT.

I'M PUTTING YOU
IN ANOTHER CELL.

FOLLOW ME.

I KNEW I COULD
TRUST YOU, STAFF.

IT WAS
GETTING VERY DICEY

IN THERE, STAFF.

ROBERTS, GET YOUR KIT.

I'M MOVING YOU
INTO A LONELY CELL.

OH, WHY DON'T YOU CATCH ON?

YOUR DAYS OF TURNING MEN
INTO TOY SOLDIERS

ARE OVER.

I RUN THIS PLACE. ME.

I SAY WHAT GOES
AND WHAT DON'T GO.

WILLIAMS, I TOLD YOU
WHEN YOU CAME HERE

I STAND BY MY STAFF.

YOU WON'T GET ME
INTO ANOTHER BLOODY MESS

LIKE THIS AGAIN.

I'M PUTTING YOU
ON THE GATE.

LISTEN, HARRIS
AND THE M.O.--

YOU'RE A BIT TOO HOT,
EVEN FOR ME.

YOU DON'T SEEM
TO UNDERSTAND.

WE STAND TOGETHER.

YOU WORK ALONGSIDE ME,

AND I'LL SHOW YOU
HOW IT'S DONE.

YOU DON'T BELT THEM
IN THIS GAME.

YOU BREAK THEM,
GENTLY BREAK THEM.

THEN YOU BUILD THEM UP AGAIN
INTO MEN, INTO SOLDIERS.

LISTEN, WE THROW IT ALL
ONTO HARRIS AND THE M.O.

PEOPLE LISTEN TO ME
WHEN I'M TALKING!

WILL YOU SHUT UP
A MINUTE?

PAY ATTENTION.

I'VE GOT ENOUGH
ON MY PLATE--

YOU TRYING
TO GIVE ME ORDERS?!

NO ONE DOES THAT!

I RUN THIS PLACE. ME.

I SAY WHAT GOES
AND WHAT DON'T GO.

EVEN IF YOU GO
TO THE COMMANDANT,

THINK HE'LL LISTEN?

HE'S SAYING YES TO ME

BEFORE I'VE EVEN WALKED
THROUGH THE DOOR.

NOW GET THIS PLACE
CLEANED UP.

IT'S A PIGSTY.

CARRY ON, STAFF.

IN 25 YEARS,

I'VE NEVER KNOWN
ANYTHING LIKE IT.

NEVER.

NOT IN 25 YEARS. NEVER.

YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN NOW,
WILLIAMS.

NO, YOU'RE STILL
WITH ME, ROBERTS.

JUST YOU AND ME
THIS TIME.

DON'T TOUCH HIM.

DON'T MUCK IT UP, BOYS.

AAH!

[FIGHTING]

YOU'LL MUCK IT UP.

DON'T TOUCH HIM.

WE'VE WON!

WE'VE WON!

YOU'LL MUCK IT UP!

[FIGHTING AND SHOUTING]

Man: COME ON! COME ON!
COME ON! COME ON!
