A scene from 1917 2019
Blake
[Blake has been stabbed by any injured German pilot, Schofield shoots the pilot dead and rushes to Blake's aid]

You bastard! You bloody bastard! [he opens his coat to see blood seeping profusely through his shirt from his stab wound] Oh, God, no. Oh, God, no! [he collapses, groaning in shock] Jesus. Jesus, no!

Schofield

We have to stop the bleeding. [presses a cloth on Blake's wound]

Blake
[screams in pain]

Stop, stop it! Stop it!

Schofield

It's alright, it's going to be alright. We're going to stand up.

Blake

Yes.

Schofield

Right. [he tries to pull Blake to his feet]

Blake

No, I can't, I can't! Ow!

Schofield

We have to get to an aid post.

Blake

I can't!

Schofield

I'll carry you. It isn't very far.

Blake

Just bring a doctor here.

Schofield

We can't. We have to go together. We're going to get up. We're going to get up. [he tries to drag Blake]

Blake

Stop!

Schofield

Come on.

Blake

Please stop! [kicking in pain] Put me down! Put me down, you bastard, please! Put me down!

Schofield
[Schofield lays Blake down on the ground as he continues groaning in pain]

You have to try to keep moving.

Blake

Let's just sit. Let me sit.

Schofield
[trying to stop the bleeding again]

No, we can't. We have to find the Second, remember? Your brother. We have to go now.

Blake

You can start on without me, I'll catch up.

Schofield

You can't stay here. We have to move, alright? We have to move, now come on. Come on! Come on, that's it. Come on, come on. Come on. [he tries to pick up Blake once more, who screams in pain, Schofield sets him back down again] Your brother! We have to find your brother.

Blake

You'll recognize him. He looks like me, and... he's a bit older.

Blake
[A burning beam from the barn crashes to the ground behind them, and embers start drifting through the air as Schofield cradles Blake in his lap] [weakly]

What are they? Are we being shelled?

Schofield

They're embers. The barn is on fire.

Blake

I've been hit. What was it?

Schofield

You were stabbed.

Blake
[whimpers]

Am I dying?

Schofield
[pause]

Yes. Yes, I think you are. [Blake reaches into his coat pocket and hands Schofield a leather pouch] This?

Blake

Inside. [Schofield pulls out a photograph of Blake's mother and hands it to him] Will you write to my mum for me?

Schofield

I will.

Blake

Tell her I wasn't scared.

Schofield

Anything else?

Blake

I love them. I wish that... I wish... Talk to me. Tell me you know the way.

Schofield

I know the way. I'm going to head southeast until I hit Écoust. I'll pass through the town and out to the east, all the way to Croisilles Wood.

Blake

It'll be dark by then.

Schofield

That won't bother me. I'll find the Second, I'll give them the message, and then I'll find your brother. Just like you, a little bit older... [he stops as he realizes Blake is dead]
