0:01:52.608,0:01:57.648
- There is no hope, Sire.[br]- We are defeated, Sire.

0:01:57.648,0:02:01.488
For twenty years, we followed you.[br]You marched with glory through Europe.

0:02:01.488,0:02:03.608
We cannot save Paris.

0:02:03.608,0:02:16.208
The Austrians are in Versailles.

0:02:16.208,0:02:19.488
The Cossacks are watering[br]their horses in the Seine.

0:02:19.488,0:02:23.968
They can hear[br]the Prussian cannon in Montmartre.

0:02:23.968,0:02:43.848
There are four nations,[br]four armies, four fronts against us.

0:02:43.848,0:02:45.648
Abdicate.

0:02:45.648,0:02:51.928
You will be allowed to retire to the[br]island of Elba with a personal guard.

0:02:51.928,0:02:59.408
- It is an honourable exile, Sire.[br]- All you can do is abdicate.

0:02:59.408,0:03:07.088
You must sign, Sire.

0:03:07.088,0:03:13.648
Why? So you all can[br]keep the titles I gave you?

0:03:13.648,0:03:19.568
What were you before me?[br]Nothing. I made you.

0:03:19.568,0:03:27.488
You must abdicate, Sire.

0:03:27.488,0:03:30.328
Listen to me, Ney.

0:03:30.328,0:03:41.248
If there's anything I despise,[br]it's ingratitude.

0:03:41.248,0:03:46.728
What can I do? What?

0:03:46.728,0:03:54.928
I sent to the Emperor of Russia[br]for peace. He refused me.

0:03:54.928,0:03:57.488
What can we do?

0:03:57.488,0:04:00.968
What can we do? What can we do?

0:04:00.968,0:04:03.088
We can fight!

0:04:03.088,0:04:08.408
I fortify Paris. I disengage from[br]Austria and retreat to Italy.

0:04:08.408,0:04:12.568
We must consolidate and mobilise.[br]Train the recruits on the march.

0:04:12.568,0:04:15.088
There are no men to mobilise.

0:04:15.088,0:04:18.488
The army does not want Paris[br]to suffer like Moscow did.

0:04:18.488,0:04:21.248
Wellington.

0:04:21.248,0:04:25.288
Wellington?

0:04:25.288,0:04:33.008
Why is it always Wellington?

0:04:33.008,0:04:38.728
Wellington. Are you afraid of him[br]because he beat you in Spain?

0:04:38.728,0:04:41.728
France will not follow you.

0:04:41.728,0:04:52.568
France will follow me to the stars,[br]if I give her another victory.

0:04:52.568,0:05:01.528
You have no choice.[br]You must give up the throne.

0:05:01.528,0:05:08.368
Oh, Ney. The throne?[br]Do you know what the throne is?

0:05:08.368,0:05:13.928
It's an overdecorated[br]piece of furniture.

0:05:13.928,0:05:17.488
It's what's behind[br]the throne that counts.

0:05:17.488,0:05:23.528
My brains, my ambitions, my desires,[br]my hope, my imagination.

0:05:23.528,0:05:29.568
And above all my will.

0:05:29.568,0:05:31.968
I can't believe my ears.

0:05:31.968,0:05:35.488
You stand there waving a piece of paper[br]crying: "Abdicate, abdicate!"

0:05:35.488,0:06:38.208
I will not! I will not!

0:06:38.208,0:07:09.888
All his men?

0:07:09.888,0:07:18.448
- When?[br]- This morning.

0:07:18.448,0:07:39.128
There is nothing left to do.[br]Sign.

0:07:39.128,0:08:37.888
Elba. Why Elba?

0:08:37.888,0:09:16.648
Marshal Marmot has surrendered to[br]the Austrians. It was his last hope.

0:09:16.648,0:09:21.608
Soldiers -

0:09:21.608,0:09:26.848
- Of my Old Guard -

0:09:26.848,0:09:40.208
- After twenty years[br]I have come to say -

0:09:40.208,0:09:48.928
- Goodbye.

0:09:48.928,0:09:53.168
France has fallen.

0:09:53.168,0:10:02.888
So remember me.

0:10:02.888,0:10:40.328
Though I love you all,[br]I cannot embrace you all.

0:10:40.328,0:10:49.808
With this kiss, remember me.

0:10:49.808,0:10:55.568
Goodbye, my soldiers.

0:10:55.568,0:11:02.848
Goodbye, my sons.

0:11:02.848,0:14:12.408
And goodbye, my children.

0:14:12.408,0:14:34.168
Your Majesty,[br]the monster has escaped from Elba.

0:14:34.168,0:14:38.208
We can thank God he is[br]mad enough to land in France.

0:14:38.208,0:14:43.048
Let us not dramatise yet.

0:14:43.048,0:14:53.248
Napoleon and his thousand men[br]are not really dangerous... yet.

0:14:53.248,0:14:57.248
Marshal Soult, you will keep[br]command of our troops here in Paris.

0:14:57.248,0:15:01.728
Marshal Ney...

0:15:01.728,0:15:13.648
You will be the first[br]to confront the werewolf.

0:15:13.648,0:15:19.488
- I know you love this man.[br]- I did. Once.

0:15:19.488,0:15:50.048
But I will bring him back[br]to Paris in an iron cage.

0:15:50.048,0:15:56.648
How they exaggerate all this.[br]The soldiers.

0:15:56.648,0:16:01.928
"In an iron cage."

0:16:01.928,0:16:59.528
Nobody asked for that.

0:16:59.528,0:17:33.168
- There's no way around.[br]- The way is forward.

0:17:33.168,0:18:39.768
Present!

0:18:39.768,0:18:59.368
Soldiers of the Fifth...[br]Do you recognise me?

0:18:59.368,0:19:09.288
If you want to kill your Emperor -

0:19:09.288,0:19:30.528
- Here I am.

0:19:30.528,0:19:43.448
Fire!

0:19:43.448,0:21:43.728
Long live the Emperor!

0:21:43.728,0:22:13.968
Follow me to Grenoble.

0:22:13.968,0:22:21.248
It was the cry of injured honour[br]that brought me back to France.

0:22:21.248,0:22:27.928
From Elba, I saw the rights of France[br]misprized and thrown aside.

0:22:27.928,0:23:02.568
My victory is certain. My eagles[br]will fly from steeple to steeple.

0:23:02.568,0:23:05.368
Straight?

0:23:05.368,0:23:50.408
Come then. We will[br]show them your red head.

0:23:50.408,0:23:57.088
I have come back.

0:23:57.088,0:24:00.408
I have come back[br]to make France happy.

0:24:00.408,0:24:12.568
- Bourbons to the compost![br]- Hang the traitors!

0:24:12.568,0:24:17.968
I am France and France is me!

0:24:17.968,0:24:34.128
Napoleon has come back to us!

0:24:34.128,0:24:37.968
I will never forget your face, Ney,[br]when you forced me to abdicate.

0:24:37.968,0:24:41.368
- I did it for France.[br]- I know what is good for France.

0:24:41.368,0:24:48.048
I understand you made a promise to[br]the King. Something about a cage?

0:24:48.048,0:24:51.248
What was it exactly?

0:24:51.248,0:24:56.368
I said I would bring you[br]back to Paris in an iron cage.

0:24:56.368,0:25:00.248
That is what I heard.

0:25:00.248,0:25:04.568
The fat king must be[br]carried from the throne!

0:25:04.568,0:25:29.328
He has corrupted[br]the honour of Frenchmen!

0:25:29.328,0:25:36.688
Perhaps the people will[br]let me go -

0:25:36.688,0:26:25.408
- As they let him come.

0:26:25.408,0:26:37.728
He is back! The Emperor is back![br]Now France will live again!

0:26:37.728,0:26:46.608
Long live the Emperor!

0:26:46.608,0:26:57.888
- He will lead us to glory again![br]- Our Emperor is back!

0:26:57.888,0:27:29.528
Home! Bring the hero home!

0:27:29.528,0:27:36.368
Goulaincourt, Molien, Molé, Fouché.[br]We have a small problem to solve.

0:27:36.368,0:27:40.928
When France wakes up tomorrow,[br]it must have a government.

0:27:40.928,0:27:44.688
Drouot. Let me tell you something.

0:27:44.688,0:27:49.288
Life's most precious quality[br]is loyalty.

0:27:49.288,0:27:56.248
And you Drouot, are a rare man,[br]untainted and true. Will you join me?

0:27:56.248,0:28:04.208
- With all my heart, Sire.[br]- Thank you, Drouot.

0:28:04.208,0:28:15.368
Soult.

0:28:15.368,0:28:19.208
- I see you got my invitation.[br]- Yes, Sire.

0:28:19.208,0:28:23.368
I understand you are no longer[br]the King's Minister of War.

0:28:23.368,0:28:27.488
- Obviously not, Sire.[br]- Obviously not, Soult.

0:28:27.488,0:28:32.688
Silence! You are to be[br]my Chief of Staff. Accept?

0:28:32.688,0:28:41.168
- I accept, Sire.[br]- Good. All's well that ends well.

0:28:41.168,0:28:44.648
Madame...

0:28:44.648,0:28:54.808
Your son Ferdinand was killed when[br]he fell off a horse at a review.

0:28:54.808,0:29:03.848
No. Musset must go. We need more[br]conscripts and more men. Signature.

0:29:03.848,0:29:07.928
Your son was very brave[br]and persistent in his duties.

0:29:07.928,0:29:19.648
I am sorry, Madame, that fate[br]hasn't been more discriminating.

0:29:19.648,0:29:32.528
To my dear Prince Alexis.

0:29:32.528,0:29:38.568
I did not usurp the crown.

0:29:38.568,0:29:43.128
I found it in the gutter.

0:29:43.128,0:29:50.648
And I picked it up -

0:29:50.648,0:29:58.488
- With my sword.

0:29:58.488,0:30:02.928
And it was the people, Alexis -

0:30:02.928,0:30:06.448
- The people -

0:30:06.448,0:30:19.608
- Who put it on my head.

0:30:19.608,0:30:41.408
He who saves a nation[br]violates no law.

0:30:41.408,0:30:43.888
To my beloved wife.

0:30:43.888,0:30:48.568
I beg you as my wife and as[br]daughter of Austria, my enemy. -

0:30:48.568,0:30:56.248
- Please return to me[br]my most precious possession:

0:30:56.248,0:31:10.448
My son.

0:31:10.448,0:31:13.888
To the Prince Regent, England.

0:31:13.888,0:31:18.488
You have been my most generous[br]enemy for twenty years.

0:31:18.488,0:31:25.968
But now I want peace.

0:31:25.968,0:31:48.528
Therefore I protest[br]the presence of Wellington...

0:31:48.528,0:31:56.368
My son is my future.

0:31:56.368,0:32:12.448
And I would rather see him dead than[br]raised as a captive Austrian Prince.

0:32:12.448,0:32:15.448
They have declared me[br]an enemy of humanity.

0:32:15.448,0:32:21.248
Europe has declared war against me.[br]Not against France, but against me.

0:32:21.248,0:32:25.168
They dignify you, Sire,[br]by making you a nation.

0:32:25.168,0:32:31.448
Dignify? Dignify?[br]They deny me the decency of law.

0:32:31.448,0:32:35.488
They make it legal that any clown[br]can kill me. Any news of Wellington?

0:32:35.488,0:32:39.528
- Still in Brussels, Sire.[br]- Still with old Blucher?

0:32:39.528,0:32:43.608
They started the war.[br]Let them bleed.

0:32:43.608,0:32:56.568
Yes, let 'em bleed. I will discuss[br]peace over Wellington's dead body.

0:32:56.568,0:33:04.288
Marshal Soult, Sire.[br]It's urgent.

0:33:04.288,0:33:21.248
It's always urgent. Show him in.

0:33:21.248,0:33:26.368
The armies of Wellington[br]and Blucher have separated, Sire.

0:33:26.368,0:33:32.168
- Separated?[br]- Yes, Sire.

0:33:32.168,0:33:35.568
I wonder what history[br]will say of them?

0:33:35.568,0:33:43.968
We'll push Blucher aside[br]and march on to Wellington.

0:33:43.968,0:33:47.368
It will be a bloody day.

0:33:47.368,0:33:50.848
- Yes, Sire.[br]- Oh, yes, Soult.

0:33:50.848,0:33:55.928
Everything depends on one big battle,[br]just like at Marengo.

0:33:55.928,0:34:12.688
Thank you, Soult.

0:34:12.688,0:34:56.648
But at Marengo, I was young.

0:34:56.648,0:35:02.808
Uncle Gordon paraded his whole regiment[br]for my inspection this morning.

0:35:02.808,0:35:06.968
So I just rode up and down[br]and picked my fancy.

0:35:06.968,0:37:08.608
Mama, you chose such big ones.

0:37:08.608,0:37:12.328
You really are[br]the best of my generals.

0:37:12.328,0:37:18.568
We ladies just have to follow the drum.[br]This season, soldiers are the fashion.

0:37:18.568,0:37:28.048
Where would society be[br]without my boys?

0:37:28.048,0:37:33.648
- They are the salt of England.[br]- Scum.

0:37:33.648,0:37:40.488
Nothing but beggars and scoundrels.[br]Gin is the spirit of their patriotism.

0:37:40.488,0:37:45.968
Yet you expect them[br]to die for you?

0:37:45.968,0:37:52.848
Out of duty?

0:37:52.848,0:37:57.248
I doubt if even Bonaparte[br]could draw men to him by duty.

0:37:57.248,0:38:01.608
- Bony is not a gentleman.[br]- What an Englishman you are.

0:38:01.608,0:38:31.408
On a battlefield his hat is worth[br]50,000 men. But he's no gentleman.

0:38:31.408,0:38:35.728
When we get to Paris, let me look at[br]Napoleon. I will not get too near.

0:38:35.728,0:38:41.128
- Mama admires him.[br]- I am a bit of a Bonapartist.

0:38:41.128,0:38:46.008
Is it true, that he is a monster?

0:38:46.008,0:38:50.168
He eats laurels and drinks blood.

0:38:50.168,0:38:57.168
And when will you[br]venture into his lair?

0:38:57.168,0:39:16.488
He hasn't given me any idea.[br]It all depends on...

0:39:16.488,0:39:20.728
Cross the river. Tomorrow we[br]dry our boots in Brussels.

0:39:20.728,0:41:20.328
- God willing, Sire.[br]- God has nothing to do with it.

0:41:20.328,0:41:27.408
- Don't let young Hay get killed.[br]- An engagement?

0:41:27.408,0:41:42.688
I don't want Sarah to wear black[br]before she's worn white.

0:41:42.688,0:41:47.088
Dickie has promised to get me[br]a cuirassier's helmet.

0:41:47.088,0:41:51.848
- Without any blood on it.[br]- And one for me. With the blood.

0:41:51.848,0:41:54.448
Where will you stick[br]your Frenchman?

0:41:54.448,0:41:57.928
- Under the right arm, sir.[br]- See, he has it planned.

0:41:57.928,0:42:04.168
When you meet a cuirassier, you'll[br]be lucky to bring away your life. -

0:42:04.168,0:42:11.968
- Never mind his helmet. The French[br]will teach you the art of fighting.

0:42:11.968,0:42:15.608
Madam, by your leave.

0:42:15.608,0:42:19.528
I have never seen[br]such a set of sprats.

0:42:19.528,0:42:24.408
- Picton can't walk in a ball room.[br]- But he dances well with the French.

0:42:24.408,0:43:37.208
But one dances with them[br]in a field.

0:43:37.208,0:43:45.488
- Who's he?[br]- A Prussian officer.

0:43:45.488,0:44:02.448
That gentleman[br]will spoil the dancing.

0:44:02.448,0:44:08.488
- It's Napoleon, sir...[br]- I know. He has crossed the border.

0:44:08.488,0:44:14.448
With all his forces.[br]He has come between our armies.

0:44:14.448,0:44:28.088
- Where?[br]- At Charleroi.

0:44:28.088,0:44:36.328
Charleroi.

0:44:36.328,0:44:40.568
- Do you wish me to stop the ball?[br]- No, I want no alarm.

0:44:40.568,0:44:50.368
All officers obliged to ladies[br]will finish the dance.

0:44:50.368,0:45:01.408
Uxbridge, move the cavalry to Charleroi.[br]Picton, your division marches tonight.

0:45:01.408,0:45:20.408
Charleroi.

0:45:20.408,0:45:23.688
May I go with the army?[br]You can ask the Duke.

0:45:23.688,0:45:27.568
He allowed ladies in Spain.[br]We've had so little time together.

0:45:27.568,0:45:56.328
- Madeleine, a battle is no place...[br]- I fear I may never see you again.

0:45:56.328,0:46:00.368
What could be simpler than Charleroi?[br]He has humbugged me.

0:46:00.368,0:46:03.248
In a night's march,[br]he has made us piecemeal.

0:46:03.248,0:46:08.008
He has gained a victory[br]at the cost of bootlaces.

0:46:08.008,0:46:11.168
If Blucher stays in Belgium,[br]I stay too.

0:46:11.168,0:46:15.448
On that promise, Blucher would[br]tie his men to trees if necessary.

0:46:15.448,0:46:19.248
- These four roads here...[br]- Quatre Bras. He'll go for them.

0:46:19.248,0:46:32.248
If we can't hold him there,[br]I will stop him here.

0:46:32.248,0:46:35.328
Charleroi.

0:46:35.328,0:47:03.208
By God, that man does war honour.

0:47:03.208,0:47:08.328
A field of glory[br]is never a pretty sight.

0:47:08.328,0:47:15.328
Nevertheless, 16,000 Prussian dead.[br]That'll be good news in Paris.

0:47:15.328,0:47:19.048
Wellington's on the run at Quatre Bras.[br]He is retreating.

0:47:19.048,0:47:22.048
- Then what are you doing here?[br]- I came to make my report.

0:47:22.048,0:47:25.208
Why didn't you follow him?[br]Why didn't you pursue him?

0:47:25.208,0:47:32.128
- Where are my reinforcements?[br]- Don't you dare criticise me!

0:47:32.128,0:47:40.648
If Wellington's free to choose his[br]ground, you have lost me everything.

0:47:40.648,0:47:44.448
Marshal Blucher, the sector is broken.[br]I have ordered a retreat.

0:47:44.448,0:47:50.488
I am seventy-two[br]and a proud soldier.

0:47:50.488,0:47:56.208
This steel is my word.

0:47:56.208,0:47:59.328
I am too old to break it.

0:47:59.328,0:48:04.368
If Wellington runs for the coast,[br]none of us will get home to Berlin.

0:48:04.368,0:48:08.768
I do not trust the English.[br]But because I have served you before. -

0:48:08.768,0:48:12.408
- I have ordered the retreat to Wavre.[br]You may still cooperate with Wellington.

0:48:12.408,0:48:19.648
But God help us[br]if he does not stand.

0:48:19.648,0:48:25.928
Grouchy. Gerard.[br]You take 30,000 men.

0:48:25.928,0:48:31.088
You take one third of my army[br]and pursue Blucher.

0:48:31.088,0:48:35.648
Don't let them regroup or consolidate[br]and don't let them rejoin.

0:48:35.648,0:48:40.848
But Blucher might go[br]in ten different directions.

0:48:40.848,0:48:45.248
Blucher is not a scatter of birds.[br]We will find him on one road.

0:48:45.248,0:48:47.888
Enough's enough!

0:48:47.888,0:48:51.408
Let's not have any disagreements.[br]That only leads to disaster.

0:48:51.408,0:48:55.168
Grouchy. Gerard. You can go.

0:48:55.168,0:49:02.608
Go, go, go.

0:49:02.608,0:49:06.528
We'll beat Napoleon next time!

0:49:06.528,0:49:10.928
Blucher will win!

0:49:10.928,0:49:16.768
Blucher will turn defeat[br]into victory!

0:49:16.768,0:49:22.608
Old Blucher. Damned good licking[br]and rolled eighteen miles back.

0:49:22.608,0:49:26.568
So, we go, too.

0:49:26.568,0:49:32.368
I suppose in England[br]they'll say we've been licked.

0:49:32.368,0:49:34.328
Can't help that.

0:49:34.328,0:49:38.408
- It's mad. It's all madness.[br]- They know what they're doing.

0:49:38.408,0:49:43.568
If Bony kicked the Prussians' arse,[br]why are we doing all the running?

0:49:43.568,0:49:48.248
A retreating army is never[br]in love with its commander.

0:49:48.248,0:50:07.408
A few shots from the French[br]and they'll be themselves again.

0:50:07.408,0:50:12.528
- I like the cut of your men, Gordon.[br]- Forward fellows with a bayonet.

0:50:12.528,0:50:22.408
Meat and eggs from the cradle up,[br]and a lemon a month.

0:50:22.408,0:50:25.888
All from my own acres.[br]I've bred 'em myself.

0:50:25.888,0:50:29.128
Some there could call me[br]more than Colonel.

0:50:29.128,0:50:44.008
Indeed.

0:50:44.008,0:50:47.368
- That must be the whole army.[br]- They're still positioning, Sire.

0:50:47.368,0:50:53.248
Never interrupt your enemy when he's[br]making a mistake. That's bad manners.

0:50:53.248,0:50:58.288
It's a bad position, Wellington.[br]That wood behind us is unsound.

0:50:58.288,0:51:07.048
If they push us back it'll be like[br]a wall. The army will be cut to pieces.

0:51:07.048,0:51:14.288
There is no undergrowth there.[br]A battery of nine pounders...

0:51:14.288,0:51:18.048
A whole army can slip through it[br]like rain through a grate.

0:51:18.048,0:51:22.168
It's suicidal,[br]if you want to know.

0:51:22.168,0:51:30.328
You may be surprised to know[br]that I saw this ground a year ago -

0:51:30.328,0:51:53.008
- And I've kept it in my pocket.

0:51:53.008,0:51:57.648
Obviously, he's no student of Caesar.[br]He's positioned himself badly.

0:51:57.648,0:52:05.608
He has the trees at his back.[br]We'll give him no provocation.

0:52:05.608,0:52:17.368
Maybe he'll leave tonight.

0:52:17.368,0:52:23.928
Come on. You're nosing your way[br]right into the pot.

0:52:23.928,0:52:27.088
There you are!

0:52:27.088,0:52:38.848
Look, keep quiet[br]and I'll only eat half of you.

0:52:38.848,0:52:41.168
Forgive me, sir, but...

0:52:41.168,0:52:47.128
If you took the troops into confidence,[br]they would know what they were about.

0:52:47.128,0:52:51.368
If I thought my hair knew[br]what my brain was thinking. -

0:52:51.368,0:52:59.848
- I'd shave it off and wear a wig.

0:52:59.848,0:53:03.008
Here comes old Atty.[br]Get to your feet.

0:53:03.008,0:53:07.888
- Your old friends, sir.[br]- The Enniskillen.

0:53:07.888,0:53:11.688
I hang and flog more of them[br]than I do the rest of the army.

0:53:11.688,0:53:14.928
- Good evening.[br]- Good evening.

0:53:14.928,0:53:21.448
A fine night, sir.

0:53:21.448,0:53:24.888
Take off your pack, sir.

0:53:24.888,0:53:34.208
- Me, sir?[br]- You, sir.

0:53:34.208,0:53:51.768
- Open it, sir.[br]- Yes, sir.

0:53:51.768,0:54:03.888
I knew something queer was[br]scratching my back, sir.

0:54:03.888,0:54:07.128
Where did you acquire[br]this plunder, sir?

0:54:07.128,0:54:09.488
- This, sir?[br]- That, sir.

0:54:09.488,0:54:16.768
No, sir.[br]This plunder acquired me, sir.

0:54:16.768,0:54:21.248
Do you know the penalty[br]for plundering, sir?

0:54:21.248,0:54:24.648
- Stoppage of gin, sir?[br]- It's death, sir.

0:54:24.648,0:54:30.968
Sir, I have to report this[br]little pig has lost its way. -

0:54:30.968,0:54:50.168
- And I'm trying to[br]find her relations, sir.

0:54:50.168,0:54:56.688
He knows how to defend a hopeless[br]position. Raise him to corporal.

0:54:56.688,0:55:01.728
Play the goat next time, Paddy,[br]and you'll be a Sergeant.

0:55:01.728,0:55:10.208
I don't know what they'll do to[br]the enemy, but they frighten me.

0:55:10.208,0:55:26.568
Dirty night. Hard morrow.

0:55:26.568,0:55:28.608
- De Lancey.[br]- Yes, sir?

0:55:28.608,0:55:33.248
If I fail tomorrow -

0:55:33.248,0:55:46.728
- I hope God will have mercy on me.[br]For nobody else will.

0:55:46.728,0:55:51.608
Why is he standing there?[br]What is his reason?

0:55:51.608,0:55:59.448
Has he lost his caution? There must[br]be something I don't understand.

0:55:59.448,0:56:09.328
If only Blucher could outrun Grouchy,[br]and give me even one corps.

0:56:09.328,0:56:14.528
All depends on the Prussians.

0:56:14.528,0:56:18.128
Why does Grouchy only do[br]six miles a day? I do ten.

0:56:18.128,0:56:22.368
The muddy slope will help us.[br]They'll slither up to it.

0:56:22.368,0:56:27.128
But the roads could slow Blucher,[br]and that'll be the end of it.

0:56:27.128,0:56:35.368
Tell him the roads are[br]the same for everyone. True?

0:56:35.368,0:56:41.368
- True?[br]- Yes, Sire.

0:56:41.368,0:56:50.408
Tell him to walk faster.

0:56:50.408,0:56:54.208
You may fight your battle,[br]Field Marshal.

0:56:54.208,0:56:59.888
- Where is Grouchy and his men?[br]- He is following us step by step.

0:56:59.888,0:57:10.328
He is not between us.

0:57:10.328,0:57:15.248
- What is the time, Hay?[br]- It's ten to two, sir.

0:57:15.248,0:57:23.528
Muffling, I must ask you[br]to go out once more tonight.

0:57:23.528,0:57:25.648
Oblige me with a fresh horse, sir.

0:57:25.648,0:57:35.808
I beg Marshal Blucher to come[br]to Waterloo by one o'clock.

0:57:35.808,0:57:42.888
Don't you see, Uxbridge?[br]If Grouchy comes between us...

0:57:42.888,0:57:45.968
And catches the Prussians[br]strung out on the march...

0:57:45.968,0:57:50.128
Then it would be just[br]a matter of counting our dead.

0:57:50.128,0:57:54.288
With such a risk,[br]dare we rely on Blucher?

0:57:54.288,0:57:58.768
We have to rely on[br]each other, Uxbridge.

0:57:58.768,0:58:06.488
Gentlemen.

0:58:06.488,0:58:09.808
Who did you give your watch to, Hay?

0:58:09.808,0:58:11.848
Somerset, sir.

0:58:11.848,0:58:17.248
Expecting to die tomorrow?[br]I don't like those thoughts.

0:58:17.248,0:58:25.208
Having them[br]sometimes makes them come true.

0:58:25.208,0:58:42.048
Get your watch back. Tomorrow I will[br]ask you the time every five minutes.

0:58:42.048,0:58:52.808
Shall I send for Doctor Larrey?

0:58:52.808,0:59:02.248
Should I call the doctor?

0:59:02.248,0:59:24.208
No, no, no. No doctor.

0:59:24.208,0:59:28.488
What are you looking at?

0:59:28.488,0:59:46.288
What?

0:59:46.288,1:00:10.328
Get out. Out, out, out.[br]Everyone out.

1:00:10.328,1:00:27.968
I mustn't be sick.[br]I must have strength for tomorrow.

1:00:27.968,1:01:20.608
My body is dying,[br]yet my brain is still good.

1:01:20.608,1:03:19.048
Will it never stop raining?

1:03:19.048,1:03:23.288
- We're 140,000 men.[br]- We're not the half of it.

1:03:23.288,1:03:29.728
That's counting the French as well.[br]40,000 will be dead tomorrow.

1:03:29.728,1:03:37.648
Eat your soup[br]while you've got your belly.

1:03:37.648,1:03:40.808
Have you seen our new Corporal?

1:03:40.808,1:03:48.048
- 'Morning, Corporal![br]- He doesn't talk to the likes of us.

1:03:48.048,1:03:55.528
Did you have bacon for breakfast?

1:03:55.528,1:04:07.328
- 'Morning, Ramsey.[br]- 'Morning. Filthy night, wasn't it?

1:04:07.328,1:04:25.968
- 'Morning, gentlemen.[br]- Good morning, Sire.

1:04:25.968,1:04:31.568
This one.

1:04:31.568,1:04:35.328
- What are you all staring at?[br]- Are you all right, Sire?

1:04:35.328,1:04:39.088
That was last night.

1:04:39.088,1:04:55.048
I've never felt better in my life.[br]Come, we eat.

1:04:55.048,1:05:02.368
I'm afraid this afternoon,[br]you will need bigger napkins.

1:05:02.368,1:05:05.728
We attack at nine.[br]What is the ground like?

1:05:05.728,1:05:13.808
It will not dry before noon, Sire.

1:05:13.808,1:05:18.088
We've fought in mud before.

1:05:18.088,1:05:25.448
That's true.

1:05:25.448,1:05:28.048
- What's that?[br]- Sunday morning.

1:05:28.048,1:05:35.128
The priest in Plancenoit[br]won't give up his mass.

1:05:35.128,1:06:26.128
Well, he won't have much[br]of a congregation.

1:06:26.128,1:06:28.408
I'm not asleep, Drouot.

1:06:28.408,1:06:34.728
Sire, we need four hours. The ground[br]is too soft to move my cannon.

1:06:34.728,1:06:37.728
Waiting four hours[br]would have lost me Austerlitz.

1:06:37.728,1:06:44.208
Wellington won't hold us an hour with[br]his English, Brunswickers and Belgians.

1:06:44.208,1:06:49.088
- I cannot answer for my cannon.[br]- You are the cannon, Drouot.

1:06:49.088,1:06:52.128
It would be better[br]to attack at twelve.

1:06:52.128,1:06:55.408
Battles are lost and won[br]in a quarter of an hour.

1:06:55.408,1:06:58.728
If Wellington were on the move,[br]I would say, go now.

1:06:58.728,1:07:11.448
But he is sitting[br]with the mud in his favour.

1:07:11.448,1:08:05.968
In his favour?

1:08:05.968,1:08:10.728
Sir?

1:08:10.728,1:08:12.848
Uxbridge.

1:08:12.848,1:08:20.328
In case anything should happen to you,[br]what are your plans?

1:08:20.328,1:08:44.528
To beat the French.

1:08:44.528,1:08:51.128
Dramatic fellows, these French.[br]Music and banners.

1:08:51.128,1:08:54.688
Quite beautiful.

1:08:54.688,1:09:51.608
You're a lucky fellow, Hay, to see[br]such wonder in your first battle.

1:09:51.608,1:09:53.808
- Your Grace![br]- What is it, Hay?

1:09:53.808,1:10:04.008
Over there, near the road![br]His white horse! The monster.

1:10:04.008,1:10:08.208
So there's the great thief[br]of Europe himself.

1:10:08.208,1:10:16.568
Napoleon has ridden within range.[br]May I have permission to try a shot?

1:10:16.568,1:10:21.568
Certainly not.

1:10:21.568,1:10:53.528
Commanders have something better[br]to do than fire at each other.

1:10:53.528,1:10:58.008
Killing is a brotherly business,[br]isn't it, de Lancey?

1:10:58.008,1:11:02.368
- Shall I shut them up, sir?[br]- No.

1:11:02.368,1:11:06.408
No, indulge it.

1:11:06.408,1:11:15.008
Anything that wastes time[br]this morning, indulge it.

1:11:15.008,1:11:18.128
Normally, I don't like cheering.

1:11:18.128,1:11:22.408
But there's always a time[br]to cut cards with the devil.

1:11:22.408,1:11:30.848
Would you kindly announce me?

1:11:30.848,1:11:36.768
- Who's the lad who leathers the French?[br]- Our Atty!

1:11:36.768,1:11:41.848
I've no need of a white horse[br]to puff me, by God.

1:11:41.848,1:11:45.768
- Who gives salt to Marshal Soult?[br]- Our Atty!

1:11:45.768,1:11:49.688
- Who gave Johnny Francois a jolt?[br]- Our Atty!

1:11:49.688,1:11:54.048
- Who will peck Boney's bum?[br]- Our Atty!

1:11:54.048,1:11:57.768
- Who makes the "Parlez-vous" to run?[br]- Our Atty!

1:11:57.768,1:12:01.688
- Who's the boy with the hooky nose?[br]- Our Atty!

1:12:01.688,1:12:05.648
- Who's the lad who leathers the French?[br]- Our Atty!

1:12:05.648,1:12:36.728
- Who's the boy to kick Boney's arse?[br]- Our Atty!

1:12:36.728,1:12:40.088
Come on, get me out.

1:12:40.088,1:12:45.488
Drouot was right.[br]This mud may kill us.

1:12:45.488,1:12:48.168
The only enemy I fear is nature.

1:12:48.168,1:12:52.048
The battle orders, Sire.

1:12:52.048,1:13:12.368
There are more orders here than[br]there were for the siege of Troy.

1:13:12.368,1:13:17.208
You can tell by the position of his guns[br]that his might is on the right side.

1:13:17.208,1:13:22.848
He is afraid of his right.

1:13:22.848,1:13:27.568
All right.

1:13:27.568,1:13:30.928
Therefore that's where[br]we'll tease him.

1:13:30.928,1:13:37.488
We'll have a diversionary action.

1:13:37.488,1:13:43.088
We tease his right side. If he weakens[br]his centre to support the right -

1:13:43.088,1:13:50.128
- Then I will know the calibre[br]of this English aristocrat.

1:13:50.128,1:13:59.928
Gentlemen... today's fox.

1:13:59.928,1:14:05.088
- Clever chap, your tailor, Hay.[br]- Dunmore and Locke's in St. James.

1:14:05.088,1:14:09.008
Remind me of that de Lancey.[br]I like my men well dressed.

1:14:09.008,1:14:24.648
For the enemy.

1:14:24.648,1:14:30.088
- La Bedoyere?[br]- Yes, Sire.

1:14:30.088,1:14:31.768
Do you have children?

1:14:31.768,1:14:39.688
Yes. I have one son. Very young.[br]No taller than your boot.

1:14:39.688,1:14:42.848
And would you want him[br]to be with you today?

1:14:42.848,1:14:48.728
Yes.

1:14:48.728,1:14:54.328
- Yes? Why?[br]- So he could see you, Sire.

1:14:54.328,1:14:58.728
See me...

1:14:58.728,1:15:03.768
I have a son.

1:15:03.768,1:15:09.248
I would give anything to see him.[br]I'd give my heart, my life.

1:15:09.248,1:15:14.008
But not here.

1:15:14.008,1:16:01.368
I wouldn't want him[br]to witness this battle today.

1:16:01.368,1:16:06.128
His main strength[br]is beyond that hill.

1:16:06.128,1:16:40.248
What he shows me is only a facade.[br]He is clever. Clever.

1:16:40.248,1:17:13.168
We'll begin the attack there.[br]At Hougoumont.

1:17:13.168,1:17:17.408
Well, that opens the ball.

1:17:17.408,1:17:29.528
Thirty-five minutes past eleven.

1:17:29.528,1:17:50.528
Thank you, gentlemen.[br]Return to your positions.

1:17:50.528,1:18:39.648
Fire!

1:18:39.648,1:20:19.528
Battalion, advance!

1:20:19.528,1:20:23.528
He's committed Foye's division.[br]He intends to turn us on the right.

1:20:23.528,1:20:26.288
What he seems to intend[br]and what he does. -

1:20:26.288,1:20:28.968
- Will be as different as[br]white knight to black bishop.

1:20:28.968,1:20:33.008
We can move the 95th down, sir.

1:20:33.008,1:21:09.608
I will not run around like a wet hen.[br]There will be plenty of time, sir.

1:21:09.608,1:21:14.248
He hasn't moved.[br]He's nailed himself to his ridge.

1:21:14.248,1:21:18.848
This Englishman has two qualities[br]that I admire.

1:21:18.848,1:21:31.208
Caution and, above all, courage.

1:21:31.208,1:21:54.648
He hasn't moved. Now we move[br]the heavy artillery against Picton.

1:21:54.648,1:21:57.808
It seems he's swinging[br]his weight to you, Picton.

1:21:57.808,1:22:02.968
- His guns move so smoothly.[br]- He moves his cannon like a pistol.

1:22:02.968,1:22:07.728
I doubt if Byland's brigade[br]will stand.

1:22:07.728,1:22:12.128
Never mind.[br]Let him have a taste of it.

1:22:12.128,1:22:37.368
If they don't run first.

1:22:37.368,1:22:42.288
They're coming on[br]in the same old style.

1:22:42.288,1:23:02.728
And we'll have to meet them[br]in the same old style.

1:23:02.728,1:23:17.448
This one's going to take[br]careful timing.

1:23:17.448,1:23:20.328
Gin up, boys.[br]Get it while you can.

1:23:20.328,1:23:36.848
The French will have it[br]out of you in a minute, anyway.

1:23:36.848,1:23:46.568
- Dick?[br]- No, thank you.

1:23:46.568,1:23:51.688
Have a sup of gin[br]with His Majesty's compliments.

1:23:51.688,1:23:54.848
Remind me to thank him[br]next time we visit the palace.

1:23:54.848,1:23:59.088
- Would you say there are many of them?[br]- I can't see through a hill.

1:23:59.088,1:24:07.168
It's like the whole of bloody hell[br]is coming up out of the ground.

1:24:07.168,1:24:16.048
Nothing frightens me more than being[br]next to a friend of the Almighty.

1:24:16.048,1:24:44.648
The 72nd will prepare to advance!

1:24:44.648,1:25:01.728
Before we go, Uxbridge.

1:25:01.728,1:25:05.408
Savage stuff, Ponsonby.

1:25:05.408,1:25:11.208
You don't see its like anymore.[br]My father left us a hundredweight.

1:25:11.208,1:25:15.488
An old Jew in Alexandria[br]had the blend.

1:25:15.488,1:25:20.248
Blend?

1:25:20.248,1:25:25.768
My father was killed by the French.[br]It never should have happened.

1:25:25.768,1:25:29.128
His horse got bogged in a field[br]and the brute just gave up.

1:25:29.128,1:25:33.968
Seven lancers had him[br]like a tiger in a pit.

1:25:33.968,1:25:40.608
- Bad luck, eh, Uxbridge?[br]- Damned bad luck.

1:25:40.608,1:25:53.928
Yes, particularly bad luck.[br]He had 400 better horses at home.

1:25:53.928,1:25:57.568
Byland's brigade has broken.[br]Plug the gap, if you please.

1:25:57.568,1:26:00.368
Now is the time for[br]the heavy cavalry, I think.

1:26:00.368,1:26:06.808
Get your bastards up onto the crest.[br]I'll bring up the rest of the brigade.

1:26:06.808,1:26:11.568
Don't hurry yourself, Pic.[br]My lads'll hold them 'till you come.

1:26:11.568,1:26:13.848
Get forward, damn you.

1:26:13.848,1:26:38.728
The 92nd will advance![br]Greenslade Mackenna!

1:26:38.728,1:26:56.448
Has Wellington nothing[br]to offer me but these Amazons?

1:26:56.448,1:27:11.408
Fire!

1:27:11.408,1:27:34.848
On, you drunken rascals![br]You whore's melts! You thieves!

1:27:34.848,1:28:33.608
Now, Scots Greys, now!

1:28:33.608,1:28:36.368
Those men on grey horses[br]are terrifying.

1:28:36.368,1:28:41.808
They are the noblest cavalry[br]in Europe. And the worst led.

1:28:41.808,1:28:48.728
That may be. That may be.

1:28:48.728,1:30:06.448
But we'll match them[br]with our lancers.

1:30:06.448,1:30:11.968
We're the hard boys!

1:30:11.968,1:30:18.888
Charge for the guns!

1:30:18.888,1:30:38.088
Sound the recall!

1:30:38.088,1:31:00.528
Stop that useless noise.[br]You'll hurt yourself.

1:31:00.528,1:31:10.728
Get back! Sound the recall!

1:31:10.728,1:31:13.648
Lancers on your left!

1:31:13.648,1:31:51.328
Look out on the left!

1:31:51.328,1:32:42.128
Give these to my son.[br]Ride on. Save yourself.

1:32:42.128,1:32:47.208
By God, sir, the cannons are calling us.[br]March to the sound of the guns.

1:32:47.208,1:32:52.648
- Our duty is to...[br]- Do not teach me my duty, General.

1:32:52.648,1:32:57.688
My orders from the Emperor were precise.[br]To keep my sword in Blucher's back.

1:32:57.688,1:33:03.288
If you will not march to the sound[br]of the guns, allow me to go.

1:33:03.288,1:33:10.128
And divide my force?[br]France would hang me.

1:33:10.128,1:33:12.448
And maybe France would be right.

1:33:12.448,1:33:16.608
- La Bedoyere![br]- Yes, Sire.

1:33:16.608,1:33:19.328
What's moving there?

1:33:19.328,1:33:24.848
I see men marching in column.[br]Maybe five or six thousand.

1:33:24.848,1:33:32.688
He's right.

1:33:32.688,1:33:39.688
I see horses now.

1:33:39.688,1:33:44.728
Horses, but whose?[br]The French or the Prussians?

1:33:44.728,1:33:47.288
I think it's Grouchy's blue, sir.

1:33:47.288,1:33:56.008
It's what we feared, sir.[br]Grouchy has come across.

1:33:56.008,1:34:10.808
Damn it,[br]it could be Prussian black.

1:34:10.808,1:34:13.808
Hay, your eyes are young.[br]Tell me the colour.

1:34:13.808,1:34:15.808
I think they're...

1:34:15.808,1:34:18.128
Prussians.

1:34:18.128,1:34:22.488
That's not necessary.[br]It's the Prussians.

1:34:22.488,1:34:26.608
But as far as we are concerned,[br]they're on the moon.

1:34:26.608,1:34:29.688
- Is that understood?[br]- Yes, Sire.

1:34:29.688,1:34:34.248
Wellington wages war in a new way.[br]He fights sitting on his arse.

1:34:34.248,1:34:37.168
We'll have to move him off it.

1:34:37.168,1:34:43.208
Where's Grouchy?

1:34:43.208,1:35:15.088
La Haye Sainte. The one who wins[br]the farmhouse wins the battle.

1:35:15.088,1:35:18.648
Where is Grouchy?

1:35:18.648,1:35:26.528
I need those men. Where is Grouchy?[br]Why must I do everything myself?

1:35:26.528,1:35:30.048
Sire, are you wounded?

1:35:30.048,1:35:46.728
As your doctor I advise you to come[br]off the field. You must lie down.

1:35:46.728,1:36:39.648
I'm all right.[br]It's just my stomach.

1:36:39.648,1:36:45.808
After Austerlitz -

1:36:45.808,1:36:52.248
- I said I would have[br]six more good years.

1:36:52.248,1:37:00.048
Now it's ten years[br]and nine campaigns later.

1:37:00.048,1:37:05.728
- Listening?[br]- Every word.

1:37:05.728,1:37:10.648
After I am dead and gone,[br]what will the world say of me?

1:37:10.648,1:37:26.008
It will say you extended[br]the limits of glory.

1:37:26.008,1:37:38.528
Is that all I'll leave my son?[br]The limits of glory?

1:37:38.528,1:37:43.288
He's concentrating his cavalry.[br]The infantry is still sitting.

1:37:43.288,1:38:02.808
Smoke without fire.[br]What's he at?

1:38:02.808,1:38:11.048
- A hard pounding, gentlemen.[br]- Yes, sir.

1:38:11.048,1:38:14.088
Lord Hay,[br]take yourself for a run.

1:38:14.088,1:38:16.648
General Lambert[br]will retire a hundred paces.

1:38:16.648,1:38:21.968
- But, Your Grace...[br]- Do as you're told, sir!

1:38:21.968,1:38:25.488
General order.[br]The army will retire a hundred paces.

1:38:25.488,1:38:29.328
The army retires 100 paces!

1:38:29.328,1:38:42.528
The 27th will take position[br]behind the Gordons!

1:38:42.528,1:38:48.528
It's bad policy to stay near a tree[br]in a thunderstorm. It attracts bolts.

1:38:48.528,1:39:10.128
I'll take your impudent advice.

1:39:10.128,1:39:21.848
Wellington's retreating![br]Nillion, follow me!

1:39:21.848,1:39:43.888
Trumpeter, sound the advance!

1:39:43.888,1:40:08.648
- Le Fevre, are you with me?[br]- Yes, Sire!

1:40:08.648,1:40:45.408
Fire!

1:40:45.408,1:41:50.528
Withdraw to square![br]Shoot at the horses!

1:41:50.528,1:41:52.968
What's Ney doing?

1:41:52.968,1:41:56.368
Can't I leave the field for a minute?[br]What's he doing there?

1:41:56.368,1:42:42.888
How can the cavalry go forward[br]without infantry support?

1:42:42.888,1:42:48.488
Remember your wives, your sweethearts,[br]your homes! Think of England, men!

1:42:48.488,1:43:14.488
Think of England!

1:43:14.488,1:43:20.128
Come on, you bastards!

1:43:20.128,1:43:27.128
Let me go! For God's sake,[br]leave me alone!

1:43:27.128,1:43:39.328
- Let me go.[br]- Stop him, someone!

1:43:39.328,1:43:43.728
We've never seen each other.[br]How can we kill one another?

1:43:43.728,1:43:48.568
How can we? How can we?[br]How can we kill one another?

1:43:48.568,1:45:05.488
How can we? How can we?[br]Why do we? Why?

1:45:05.488,1:45:09.608
Ney requests infantry, Sire.

1:45:09.608,1:45:18.888
- General Lambert needs reinforcements.[br]- I can only give him my best wishes.

1:45:18.888,1:45:42.608
De Lancey, move that battery down[br]towards Hougoumont.

1:45:42.608,1:46:03.808
Get the surgeon over here!

1:46:03.808,1:46:08.248
The farm house is ours![br]Long live France!

1:46:08.248,1:46:14.768
Soult, write a letter to Paris[br]right now and tell them...

1:46:14.768,1:46:20.248
- What time do you think it is?[br]- About six o'clock, Sire.

1:46:20.248,1:46:28.288
Tell them that at six o'clock[br]we broke Wellington's forces -

1:46:28.288,1:46:38.688
- And won the battle. No.[br]Tell them that we won the war.

1:46:38.688,1:46:44.648
The farm house has fallen, sir.[br]We can't hold them.

1:46:44.648,1:46:53.248
It appears, Uxbridge,[br]that we're losing the battle.

1:46:53.248,1:46:57.448
Give me night.

1:46:57.448,1:47:02.208
Or give me Blucher.

1:47:02.208,1:47:05.928
Wellington's beaten.[br]He's bled to death.

1:47:05.928,1:47:35.248
Now move the Old Guard forward.[br]Then, on to Brussels.

1:47:35.248,1:47:39.288
Sire, if you go any further,[br]you will be killed.

1:47:39.288,1:48:16.488
- A general should die on the field.[br]- Sire, you must go back. Please.

1:48:16.488,1:48:25.488
I abandon my position on the left.[br]I want all remaining men here!

1:48:25.488,1:48:37.568
Here. Every brigade,[br]every battalion, here!

1:48:37.568,1:48:41.328
Put every gun to them, sir.[br]Every gun.

1:48:41.328,1:48:42.928
Very good, sir.

1:48:42.928,1:48:47.928
The lads are down to[br]five rounds a man, Wellington.

1:48:47.928,1:48:55.848
But they'll stand.

1:48:55.848,1:49:02.688
If Blucher doesn't come through now,[br]they'll break every bone in my body.

1:49:02.688,1:49:04.408
Good beans, Wellington.

1:49:04.408,1:49:58.368
If there's anything I know[br]nothing about it is agriculture.

1:49:58.368,1:50:04.368
Sire, the Prussians are in the woods![br]Blucher is in the woods!

1:50:04.368,1:50:07.128
I should have burned Berlin.

1:50:07.128,1:50:14.688
Raise the black flags, children.[br]No pity. No prisoners.

1:50:14.688,1:50:20.048
I'll shoot any man I see[br]with pity in him.

1:50:20.048,1:51:06.128
Onward!

1:51:06.128,1:51:15.128
On, my children!

1:51:15.128,1:51:43.048
Now, Maitland! Now's your time!

1:51:43.048,1:51:45.008
To the guard!

1:51:45.008,1:51:52.008
- It's Grouchy![br]- It's Blucher, look!

1:51:52.008,1:51:58.448
Run! All is lost! Run!

1:51:58.448,1:52:03.408
Why do you stand there[br]like frightened children?

1:52:03.408,1:52:05.928
What are you afraid of?

1:52:05.928,1:52:10.688
You call yourselves soldiers![br]Soult, remember you're a general.

1:52:10.688,1:52:17.848
La Bedoyere, the Prussians are too late.[br]Too late. Wellington is beaten.

1:52:17.848,1:52:25.688
Don't you understand? Wellington[br]is beaten! Where's your faith?

1:52:25.688,1:52:28.648
I was in this position at Marengo.

1:52:28.648,1:52:42.008
I lost the battle at five o'clock,[br]but I won it back again at seven!

1:52:42.008,1:52:43.728
Is it Prussians?

1:52:43.728,1:52:49.768
Up to them! Up to them!

1:52:49.768,1:52:54.288
Am I to fight alone?[br]Stand with me!

1:52:54.288,1:53:00.248
Are you French? Stand with me!

1:53:00.248,1:53:19.288
Are you the Guard?

1:53:19.288,1:53:25.128
One more hour[br]and we have them beaten!

1:53:25.128,1:53:28.568
Don't you know me?

1:53:28.568,1:53:33.288
I'm Ney, Marshal of France!

1:53:33.288,1:53:49.248
Sir, the Prussians are here!

1:53:49.248,1:54:01.088
The Old Guard has broken!

1:54:01.088,1:54:08.808
Damn me, Uxbridge, if I ever saw[br]30,000 men run a race before.

1:54:08.808,1:54:13.728
- The whole line will advance.[br]- In which direction, Your Grace?

1:54:13.728,1:54:32.088
Straight ahead, to be sure.

1:54:32.088,1:54:39.248
Stand firm on the right![br]Form square!
