Dunkirk

English! I'm English!

It's grenadiers, mate.

Make way!

Out of the way!

Go, go, go!

Along the mole. All the way.

The ship's about to leave.

Along the mole. All the way. The ship's about to leave.

Where's the bloody air force?

The navy's requisitioned her.

They'll be back in an hour. My dad wants to be ready before then.

They've told us to strip her and load those life jackets.

Some men across the Channel, at Dunkirk, need taking off.

Some men?

Check fuel, Fortis 1 and 2.

70 gallons.

68 gallons, Fortis Leader.

Stay down at 500 feet to leave fuel

for 40-minute fighting time over Dunkirk.

Understood. Vector 128, angels point five.

And keep an eye on that gauge,even when it gets lively.

Save enough to get back.

No French soldiers. No French soldiers. No.

No, no French. English only. English only past this point.

No. It's a British ship. No, you have your own ships.

Get back. Get back.

No, you've got your own ships. This is a British ship.

No, get back.

Look, get the stretchers through. There are stretchers coming.

Get out of the way! Out of the way!

Go, go, go. Along the mole. All the way.

The ship's about to leave. About to leave.

Along the mole. All the way.

Along the mole. Along the mole. All the way. All the way.

No.

No, English only. English only!

No!

Ready on the stern!

Yes, sir!

Man the bowline!

Any more room?

You have to get back!

That's two minutes.

You've missed it. You've missed it.

Is that the last one?

Aye, sir.

Break the line.

Come on! Come on!

Dunkirk's so far. Why can't they just load at Calais?

The enemy had something to say about it.

Ah, down here we're sitting ducks.

Keep 'em peeled. They'll come out of the sun.

Up the line.

Oi. We'll take it.

Drop the gangplank!

Yes, sir!

Take a run at it.

Ready on the stern line, George.

Aren't you waiting on the navy?

They've asked for the Moonstone, they'll have her.

And her captain.

And his son.

Thanks for the help, George.

What are you doing?

You do know where we're going?

France.

Into war, George.

I'll be useful, sir.

Bandit, 11 o'clock.

Break.

He's on me.

I'm on him.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...

Oi, you two.

Get a shift on.

Yeah, pull him tight. Tie a knot in it.

Back up the line. Both of you.

Off you go.

Off you go!

That last barrage has damaged the rudder.

Uh, okay...

Psst!

Mr. Dawson!

One of ours, George.

On my mark, Fortis 2. Draw him left.

Three, two, one.

Mark.

Clear.

Is he down?

Yeah, he's down for the count.

Fortis Leader, one bandit down.

Fortis Leader, do you read?

Fortis 2, I have you to my port. I have no eyes on Fortis Leader. Over.

Understood, Fortis 1.

Orbit for a look.

How long, Lieutenant?

We need to run a new cable, sir. They're scrambling.

Very well.

Colonel, you're gonna have to decide how many more wounded to evacuate.

One stretcher takes the space of seven standing men.

Excuse me.

- Rear Admiral. - Commander.

How's the perimeter?

Shrinking every day.

But between our rear guard and the French, we're holding the line.

And the enemy tanks have stopped.

Why have they stopped?

Waste precious tanks

when they can pick us off from the air, like fish in a barrel?

How long does London expect the army to hold out before we make terms?

Make terms?

They're not stopping here. We need to get our army back.

Britain's next and then the rest of the world.

Christ.

I mean, you can practically see it from here.

What?

Home.

What about the French?

Publicly, Churchill's told them, "Bras dessous."

Arm in arm, leaving together.

And privately?

We need our army back.

How many men are they talking about, sir?

Churchill wants 30,000. Ramsay's hoping we can give him 45.

There are 400,000 men on this beach, sir.

We'll just have to do our best.

Right, well, this mole stays open at all costs.

We're in artillery range from the west. If anything else sinks here,

the mole's blocked and we're stuffed.

Can't we load from the beaches?

Better than standing out here when the dive bombs come.

- It's impossible. - Too shallow?

'Cause anything that drafts over three feet can't get near.

We don't have enough small boats to ferry men to the destroyers.

The mole it is, then, gentlemen.

Hey!

Hey! Can you swim it?

Dad, can you get closer?

Can't risk it!

Hang on.

What's your name?

Wreckage below.

Is it more of the 109?

No.

It's Fortis Leader. Over.

You think he got out?

I didn't see a 'chute.

Record his position.

Then set heading 128,

height 1,000. Over.

Vector 128, angels one. Understood.

Fortis 2, what's your fuel?

50 gallons. Over.

50 gallons.

All right, keep letting me know.

My gauge took a bit of a knock back there.

Shouldn't you turn back?

No, no.

I'm fairly confident it's just the gauge.

- She's going down! - Cut her loose!

What about the wounded?

Abandon ship! Abandon ship!

Cut her loose, and push her off!

We can't let her sink at the mole!

Push the bloody boat off!

Help us!

Do you want to come below?

It's much warmer.

It's out of the wind.

Here you go.

Leave him be, George.

He feels safer on deck.

You would too if you'd been bombed.

U-boat.

It was a U-boat.

Get him some more tea, George.

Right, we're about five minutes out,

so climb to 2,000. Over.

That's more fuel.

I know, but I don't want to get jumped again.

Let's get a decent altitude.

We can dive down on the bastards from above. Over.

Understood. Angels two.

Over.

Right, Highlanders.

Let's find you another ship.

Come on.

Everyone else, keep climbing. Climb on the deck.

Climb on the deck.

Watch your heads on the rail. Watch it.

That's right, keep going down. Take a blanket.

Down you go. Put this on, my love.

Down you go. Keep going down.

There's a nice cup of tea for you down there.

Keep moving down.

Take a blanket.

Try and make some room.

Keep moving down, boys.

This way.

A cup of tea down there.
