Deathwatch Page #2

Synopsis: In 1917, in the Western front, a group of survivors of the British Company Y reach the most forward German trench in a foggy night. They capture a German soldier that advises that evil is in the trench, forcing the soldiers to kill each other, and asks them to leave the place. Only the private Charlie Shakespeare listens and helps the prisoner, while a supernatural force scares and makes the soldiers insane.

We've got then in command.

But can we raise HQ with it?

I don't know, I can try.

There's so many dead.

That German's gonna be

a million miles from here.

There's plenty of rats, though.

That's a German bayonet.

Were they fighting each other?

Hun sticking Hun.

Jesus, what happened here?

Look at this.

But why?

Maybe gas.

Gas can make you do funny things.

What do you think McNess?

I think, if they keep this up,

we won't have to do any fighting ourselves.

Oi!

Woah, close one!

What is it?

It's a bullet.

I'd hang on to that. Might be lucky.

Lucky it didn't blow his balls off!

Hey!

Nobody rests until we secure every inch

of this trench. Alright?!

Sarge.

Now, on me.

Shakespeare. Take this morphine.

Make sure Doc gets it for Chevasse.

Yes, sir.

Don't call me sir, lad. I'm a sergeant.

I work for a living.

Take it down.

Take it down.

Good boy, good boy.

That's it.

I think...

I think I can move my hands a little.

Well, that's good.

Look.

See my fingers?

See them moving?

I do, yeah.

We'll have you doing

the Lambeth Walk in no time.

And this'll help.

Right, get some rest.

You're not going.

I have to go mate,

there's a lot of work to be done,

but Bradford's here though, okay?

Now, get some sleep.

Keep an eye on him.

No tits on her.

Wouldn't mind that.

Keep that one.

That one will do.

What?

Any British command.

Any British command.

Any British command receiving this,

please respond.

Any Allied listening post.

This is a British unit lost in enemy territory.

Urgently need assistance, over.

Anyone. Anyone, f***ing anyone.

Sh*t.

Y Company. Y Company.

We've lost...

Captain Jennings. Captain!

We've lost Y Company.

Bradford!

No, no this is Y Company.

There are survivors...

We've lost Y Company.

What is it?

Have you made contact?

Yes, sir.

Well done.

Y Company. There are no survivors.

Repeat. There are no survivors.

This is Captain Bramwell Jennings,

Y Company, 5th Battalion.

We have captured a forward German trench.

Location unknown.

We need urgent support, over.

Y Company.

Yes, Y Company.

There are no survivors.

What's that mean?

Why are they saying that?

It's a mistake, it's a mistake.

They'll send support.

Sir, but if they think we're dead,

they won't try to find us...

It's a mistake. It's a mistake.

Y Company?

The survivors of Y Company have regrouped.

We are...

Don't tell the men.

But sir...

Do you understand me, don't tell the men.

It's a mistake. They will find us.

Hawkestone!

Sergeant!

Sergeant!

Get down!

Get down, you f***in' Hun bastard.

F*** you!

Sergeant!

Sergeant!

Halt! Halt you f***ing Hun bastard.

Starinski!

Hello mate. Hello Fritzen.

You are gonna die!
