Only what he had to. He told us
we were going to Tobruk as prisoners.

:16:09
On the way, we'd scuttle
the German guard and take over.

:16:12
Your credentials say you're an expert
on the harbour guns at Tobruk.

:16:18
If it's any comfort, we had 50 men
trained to blow them to Hell.

:16:22
You said
he only told you what he had to.

:16:25
Any idiot private
could spell it out, sir.

:16:27
Rommel is building up supplies
in Tobruk for his next attack.

:16:31
He controls the air. The only way
to clobber Tobruk is from the sea.

:16:34
To clear the way for Navy
those guns have to be knocked out.

:16:40
That's it, isn't it?
- That's it.

:16:43
I don't think it concerns us.
- It does. How many men do you have?

:16:46
Whatever nonsense you have in mind
you're not involving my men.

:16:49
At 1700 hours tomorrow, one of
our planes will attack the convoy.

:16:55
The purpose was to create confusion
so the 5th Commandos could take over.

:16:59
A deliberate air attack?
- Nevertheless, the pilot will strike.

:17:04
To scrub this mission
:17:06
I need a radio. The only way I can
do that is by taking over the convoy.

:17:10
And then?
:17:11
Then we drive back to British lines.
A long way through enemy territory.

:17:17
But with wheels and guns
and fuel and a little luck...

:17:21
Who knows? One further question:
Where is the medical kit kept?

:17:25
I know the truck it's on.
But why, sir?

:17:28
We need weapons
in order to acquire better weapons.

:17:32
I'll see to it, sir.
- Good, good.

:17:34
I accept that you are dedicated,
Captain. You will do what you must.

:17:39
But without me or any of my men
that don't want to be involved.

:17:45
Sir, I'm a Quaker. I'm in the Medical
Corps as a conscientious objector.

:17:49
I cannot help you in a mission
where I would have to kill someone.
