As they drive ahead into the darkness (a minimalist film set exterior), the countryside where the Great War was fought is described by the bus driver as a place where Europeans continue to live, with their loved ones buried in mass graves.Three blameless, subordinate soldiers are victimized, given hopeless ""paths of glory,"" and condemned o die to cover up the wrong-headed actions of their ruthless and opportunistic superiors."

Mathayus dispatched Memnon""s falcon to fly back to Memnon, with dead Thorak""s necklace medallion.When he received the message, he told no one of its contents, and then announced a feast to celebrate his impending victory over the last of the rebels.
