Deathwatch Page #6

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.

Who are you?

What happened?

Huh, put the gun down!

Captain, put the gun down, it's me.

Put... put the gun down.

Cap...

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Captain made his bullet count, Sarge.

Oh Jesus...

No, no!

No, what's the matter with this place?

Where's... where's the army?

Got any words for us now, Archbishop?

Sergeant Tate,

are we spending another night here?

Is that a good idea?

It's up to the Captain.

But what would you do?

Stay here?

There's something wrong with this place,

isn't there?

Something not right.

Look, what the Captain did.

What happened to Starinski?

I don't know what you're talking about.

But the...

You heard it.

I heard nothing.

Well, what about the noise?

I heard nothing.

What did you hear, eh?

You.

You.

But the prisoner. What he said.

He said we'd turn on each other.

What are we gonna do.

I mean we can't just...

Shut up!

Just... just shut up with your questions.

He's the Captain, not me.

Ask him.

Shakespeare, Shakespeare.

Come here.

We should leave right now.

Two men dead. Do you want

to add to that, Shakespeare, huh?

Do ya?

The Captain says we hold this trench.

So we're gonna sit tight.

You're gonna sit tight.

You understand?

Little Hun bastards.

What have you been doin' here, eh?

Jesus Christ, Bradford.

This place is scary enough

without you jumping out at me.

Are you alright?

Good.

You take over, I'm gonna get some kip.

Right Bradford, I'm here.

Bradford?

Well, that's just f***in' great.

Have you come for me, have you?

Come on then.

Is this my time, huh?

Well, bring it at me.

You're gonna f***in' need it.

No!

What the f*** happened to you,

you stupid Scottish bastard?

You alright, McNess?

Come on, let me have a look.

Wait!

McNess, what are you doing?

Leaving!

Well, that's the best idea

I've heard all day.

McNess, you can't leave.

You know that.

Look we'll dig in.

Build a strong defensive position.

Defensive position? What are we

defending against Sergeant, huh? What?

Come on say it. Evil!

Will you listen to yourself. Evil!

It's the gas,

we are hallucinating, that is all.

Was Starinski hallucinating, huh?

Is this a f***in' hallucination?

There must be another sniper.

Germans we haven't found yet.

I don't know.

Aye, I know you don't know.

You don't know because you won't admit it.

F***ing none of you.

I don't... I don't wanna die.

I'm not waiting to die.

Mcness, please don't go out there.

There's nothing out there.

It's in here.

It's in f***in' here.

Where do you think you're going?

Deserters will be shot.

What would your father say

if he saw you now?

He'd say naughty boy.

'Naughty boy' pointing weapons at people.

I'll put you over my knee
