A month after establishing a beachhead
on D -Day, the Allies struggled to gain

foothold in France.

But victory in June led to stalemate in
July, and the Nazi turned the hedgerows

of Normandy into a maze of death.

Okay, Shane.

Okay, Shane.

Nothing like a friendly little wager to
make a good war fun, huh?

Hey, Sarge.

You want in on this?

You know what you are, Faraday?

A bad apple to kind of thwart the whole
barrel.

Spoken like a true boy scout.

You better lay off the boy scouts. Yeah?

Ding, ding. Back to your corners.

It's time to hear I have a pack of
short.

So I owe you. You got a problem with
that?

Yeah, I think Rita is collateral.

Radio's on the fritz.

I can't get nothing with static.

Right, right, Gordon.

Hey, hey, hey, Dante. You said I could
hold it for a little while.

I'm sparing nothing more, Homer.

Right, Eddie?

Eddie!

Eddie!

How many men you figure we lose today?

Does a dead Jerry count for a bonus
pack, or was it just your own buddies

were betting against?

Want in on the bets, Sarge?

Better clean that up, Faraday, along
with your attitude.

What kind of attitude am I supposed to
have when it's crawling with crowds out

there? There's only five of us left.
Look, it wasn't hard to figure out what

were up against at Omaha Beach. Now we
have no idea where the next bullet's

coming from.

So I suggest you all start figuring out
what you're fighting for, because we

cannot see what we're fighting against
anymore.

When you walk down the road,

heavy burden, heavy load, I

will rise and I will walk with you.

I'll walk with you till the sun don't
even shine.

Walk with you.

Every time I tell you I'll walk with
you.

Walk with you. Believe me, I'll walk
with you.

Normandy was a soldier's battle, not won
by battalions and heavy artillery, but

day by day, squad by squad, yard by
yard, fought by ordinary men who might

been your neighbour, your grocer, your
mailman.

Men who had never expected to be
soldiers.

who now found themselves fighting not
only for their lives, but for the very

future of the world.

Now, St. Lowe may not look like much,
but this little cow town is the gateway

France. If we bust through this German
line... We can be home by Christmas.

That's the plan.

But we've got to take St. Lowe first.

Now, the way I figure it, we made it
across Omaha Beach, so somebody's

out for us.

There he goes.

His name is Private Joe Baraday. The way
he sees

it, anything he can take is his.

Even with a fellow soldier, isn't there
a code of honor?

Oh, Joe's not going to let a little
thing like honor stand in his way.

Someone should do something about him.

Oh, really?

Do we have any volunteers?

Oh, no, Tess, I'm in search and rescue,
and I'm already so busy with men who...

Who deserve it.

Well, Joe may not seem like hero
material to you, baby, but he still has

chance to surprise everybody, including
himself.

The crowd's going to have a goodness
behind every bush.

How's that radio going, Homer?

What?

Alpha, this is Charlie Company. Do you
read me, Homer?

Time radio.

Alpha, this is Charlie. Do you read me,
Homer? Okay, we're on our own.

We're moving out. Let's go.

Is that the new floor?

Yeah, there are, Sam.

Well, I sure hope they don't act the
nearly -dropped -no -more -bombs on us.

My ears are nearly deaf from all them
bombs they dropped in London.

Okay, let's go.

It ain't all bad.

I mean, Ares can be kind of romantic.

Romantic enough.

Hey, Scotty.

Yeah?

With a love that's true always.

When the things you've climbed need a
helping

hand.

may not be fair.

Not always.

Hey, Stella, I've been waiting for my
victory day.

Excuse us, pal.

Would you mind, Eddie?

I'll just be a moment.

All right.

That's what I got for you.

Joe, please.

Thanks for dinner the other night, but
I'm just not interested.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure there's a nice guy in you
somewhere.

Maybe it's the war, but... Oh.

I get it.

I'm shipping out, and you're afraid
you're never going to see me again, so

don't want to get involved.

Well, let me tell you something, doll.

I'm going to survive.

Yes, you will, Joe.

I'm sure you'll do whatever it takes.

What's the problem?

I'm not good enough for you, is that it?

I'm not good enough?

Joe, you're hurting me.

Stella.

Stella, please.

Goodbye, Joe.

Hey, Joe.

Let me hold Rita just for a minute.

Sorry, Homer.

Since Eddie stole my girl, Rita's all I
got left.

Right, Eddie?

Come on, Joe.

Give him the picture. He's scared.

Don't like that?

Hey,

Todd.

I'm not sure if I'm ready.

Come on, Homer.

You can do this.

Are you kidding?

It's a suicide mission.

Thanks for volunteering, Faraday.

Dante, Homer, cover us, then bring up
the flag.

One, two, three.

Let's go.

Move, move, move.

Go, go, go.

Dante, roar.

Look

clear,

Sarge.

Hold your fire.

Speak in the English.

My name is Monica.

Who's your friend?

Don't move! Don't move, I'll blow you
sky high!

Can't you see he's dying?

What's he saying?

Mooty.

He means mama.

You speak German?

I understand many languages.

What kind of accent is that?

Please, she's a spy.

I'm here on a mission of peace.

Get her out of there.

Name the four presidents on Mount
Rushmore.

Who's Mickey Mouse's girlfriend?

Mickey who?

All right, hold it right there.

I don't know who you are or what you're
doing here, but until I figure it out,

you're coming with us.

Prisoner of war.

What are you doing?

Spoils of war, Fraulein.

Make him stop.

Faraday, he's a Nazi, Sarge. He's just a
kid. He got brainwashed by Hitler.

He probably didn't want to go to war any
more than you did.

I feel sorry for him.

And you.

Maybe if you had a wife and kids,
someone to come home to, maybe you'd see

things a little differently.

Have something to fight for.

Something to make it work.

Eddie, behind you! Sarge!

He's a Sarge!

Hit the Sarge!

Sarge!

Please help him!

He's dead.

For a squad lost on the front lines
without its leader, the threat of death

everywhere.

In the summer of 1944, over 100 ,000
American soldiers were KIA, killed

in action.

Sergeant Francis Q. Walker.

I wonder what the Q stands for.

Quentin, if you don't know the name of
Mickey Mouse's girlfriend, then how come

you know that, huh?

It's hard to explain how I know what I
know.

All I can tell you is that you're lost.

She's right, Faraday.

Sergeant Compass is busted. So what? So
is the radio.

What are you keeping it for, then? I
don't know. It might be worth something.

Come on. We've got to get out of here.
What are you, crazy? Those hedgerows are

full of nothing but krauts.

What are you going for?

Up the creek.

Mission accomplished, huh, Fraulein?

My mission is to save lives.

We caught you helping Germans.

Don't try and make it look like you're
on our side.

I know what side I'm on, Private
Faraday, do you?

You can't get rid of me that easily.

I think we give her the same treatment
Sarge got. If you knock it off, we got

bigger fish to fry.

Hey, we can't just leave Sarge here.

We gotta get him back home so he can
have a decent burial.

Homer, that's not our department. You
gotta leave that to the GRF.

Charlie 1, this is Charlie 4, over.

Charlie 1, hit ref.

Alpha, follow.

Alpha, do you copy?

Homer? Homer, you snap out of it.

This radio is on the fridge, you
remember?

Homer?

Homer?

Oh, God.

What are we going to do without this
heart?

What's his family going to do?

That's the Fraulein.

He's got a wife and kids.

Does that mean anything to you? Of
course it does.

Instead of the letter his wife prays for
every day, she's going to receive a

telegram.

And she'll gather her children around
her and the only thing that will see her

through is her faith.

And in the living room...

Next to the flag in the window shall
place a gold star symbolizing the

of another brave man. And that's why I'm
here. Because too many gold stars have

been placed in too many windows.

Crocodile tears, lady.

She's a spy.

And a woman.

How can you guys trust her?

You mean you condemn men want one last
smoke?

You know, Faraday, attitude like yours
and we'll never see Paris.

Paris.

Me and the mademoiselle.

Drinking champagne.

Eating french fries.

I don't need no mademoiselle.

I got Stella.

You want to see her?

What's that, perfume?

I don't wear any.

You sure smell good.

When I get to Paris, I'm going to buy
some of that Chanel perfume.

For my mom.

Would you like me to change this for
your private?

Yes, ma 'am.

You know, you got red hair just like
Rita Hayworth.

I could hold her just once.

Faraday, would you give him the picture?

Hello, this one.

That little battle act.

Oh, please put that back. It's his
mother.

For God's sake, Faraday.

Charlie one, Charlie four over.

Charlie one, we got a sit -rep out here.
We're dying.

What the hell are you doing?

I'm calling HQ, Eddie. The radio, it
works. Well, you can't get them on that

radio. That's a Kraut radio, Homer.

You just called the Kraut.

You speak

German.

What did he say? What did he say?

Translation, Fraulein.

Good evening, and thank you, friends.

Now we know where you are.

We are coming for you.

Wait for us.

We are coming.

Well done.

We're gonna die.

We're gonna die.

We need to start.

Shut up, Homer. Shut up.

We gotta make a run for it. Split up.

How far do you think we're gonna get on
a couple of rounds of ammo?

He's right.

He's right. At least we got protection
here.

Are you crazy? This place is a dead
trap.

Now, wait now. Wait a minute. We gotta
think this through.

I'm outta here. You suckers are on your
own.

No!

Now, the only way we're gonna get
through this is if we stick together and

each other the best we can, because
that's what Sarge would've said, isn't

So bad about dying anyway.

I don't believe that.

Everyone has something to live for.

Something or someone.

Your sergeant didn't have a chance to
say goodbye to his family, to leave a

message, something for them to hold on
to. He didn't have time for that, but

do.

She's right.

She's right.

I'm going to die.

I want Della to know that I was thinking
about her.

My last breath.

I got to write to Mom.

She's never seen the ocean.

I'm going to tell her how beautiful it
is.

What about you, Homer?

Do you have someone you want to contact?

No.

Don't have any parents or girlfriend
That's not right gonna make much

of a difference What about methods
Walker doesn't she have a right to know

how her husband died Like a hero

Yeah

What's the point Who's going to deliver
them?

I don't know. Maybe one of us will make
it.

Yeah. Yeah.

I say that we make a pact.

Yeah.

Anybody left standing, make sure they
all get sent.

What about you, Private?

Don't you have a message to send?

Not for just a day And not for just a
year

Don't do it, Joe.

Walk away.

Just walk away.

Is that for me?

Yeah.

Excuse me, Stella.

Joe, please, leave me alone.

Stella, you heard the lady.

Just like to be left alone.

Get out of my way.

Help me.

I've lost my money and the Germans are
coming.

Joe. Joe.

Get down.

The Germans are coming.

Hold on.

Hold on.

Save breath, sister.

I hope to kill you fast.

Twenty.

Twenty -five.

Keep firing, boys.

Keep firing.

Make it count. I'm attacking the
trigger!

There we go.

Looks like no one's home.

Come on.

Anybody home?

Eddie's in trouble.

You're the nurse.

I'm thirsty.

I'm thirsty.

39 Bordeaux. I remember 39. Now, that
was a good year. Maybe not for wine, but

it definitely was for me.

Joe.

Everybody be calm.

Right this way.

Everybody keep moving, making room for
everybody else.

Right this way.

Mister. Mister.

Be calm.

Why don't you beat it, kid?

Did you lose somebody too?

This way, Stella.

Yeah.

I went back for Henry when the siren
started.

I can't find my money.

My name's Rupert.

What's yours?

Can't you shut that thing up?

It rings because it can.

You hear that bird?

It's beautiful.

Somebody ought to put it out of its
misery.

be heading south pretty soon i wonder if
the

war will be over when they get back i
wonder if we'll still be around

i don't think that i will be

At least they wrote, right?

No,

we forgot their letters.

We forgot their letters. We got to go
back.

Forget the letters. It doesn't matter
now.

It's all that matters, Joe. That's why
we wrote them.

I'm not going back out there and risk my
life for some dead guy's letters.

They're not just dead guys, Joe. They're
your friends.

What?

I'm not going back.

Joe, we made a pact.

because I can't take mine with you, too.

My letter, I wrote a letter to Stella.

I had it with me in this.

I must have dropped it.

You've got to go back. You've got to go
back.

Get it.

Oh, John, please, you've got to go back.

She deserves to know. She deserves to
know. She's my wife.

Your wife?

We got married the night before we
shipped out.

Nobody knew.

It was beautiful.

Yeah?

Well, I wasn't going to tell you this,
Eddie, but I married Stella, too, a

couple months before you.

She was marrying any GI who could send
back a paycheck.

Didn't mean nothing.

She was just another allotment nanny.
That's why she didn't want me around no

more.

Once she found out I was on to her.

So now you know, buddy. I'm sorry.

But she didn't love you.

Forget about the girl.

Forget about the letters.

She didn't deserve you.

How dare you?

Try that again, lady.

I'll shoot you myself.

I'm not afraid of you two.

But I won't allow Eddie to die with that
lie breaking his heart.

I'm doing him a favor.

Why should he die thinking that she'll
never get that letter?

Better he thinks she doesn't deserve it.

Then he can relax.

You're not doing this to make him feel
better.

You're doing this because he married
someone that you wanted.

Don't push me.

What kind of a man are you?

I have seen you stealing the watches and
the rings from dying men.

I will not allow you to steal their
spirits.

Don't you worry about those letters.

They'll be delivered, every one of them,
I promise.

And Stella will get her letter, too.

She will.

What Joe told you is a lie.

Stella loves you.

She's never loved anyone but you. She's
never married anyone but you.

Stella's a good woman.

She's a fine woman.

And she'll get your letter and all the
love that goes with it.

And it'll warm her in those lonely
nights for the rest of her life.

She'll keep it in her purse.

She'll keep it within reach.

Be next to her bed, slept inside her
Bible.

And her memories of you, Eddie, they
will never die.

Thank you.

It's the bird.

I can hear it, too.

Listen. Listen to that rock. Listen to
that.

It's beautiful.

It's singing to me.

It's singing to me. They sound... Sound
like angels.

You are an angel.

You get on my case for lying to him and
then you make a promise to him like

that?

Who's the liar now, huh?

I didn't lie, Joe.

Those letters will be delivered.

Yeah? And who's going to deliver them?

I am.

Well, somebody's got to go out there and
get them first. And I'll tell you what,

it ain't going to be me.

Yes, Joe.

It will be you.

Joe, I'm so sorry. I've never struck
anyone before. I didn't even know I was

capable of such a terrible thing.

Wait till you kill a few people.

Will you forgive me?

I deserved it.

No. Yeah.

That old man used to smack me around a
lot.

It's the only thing that got my
attention, you know?

This world was never intended to be a
place where people hurt each other, Joe.

Well, it didn't turn out that way, did
it?

No. People make choices I don't
understand.

I do.

I'm afraid, Monica.

Everybody.

Walker, Betty, Homer.

Shoot. Even Adolf Hitler's afraid of
something.

Some of us just hide it.

A lot better.

Some of us hide it so well, we don't
even know we're afraid until... Until...

I came in with the first wave on D -Day,
you know.

I was standing on the boat, waiting for
the ramp to drop and the bullets to

start.

And I knew I probably wouldn't even make
it to the beach.

I was as scared as I'd ever been in my
whole life.

There was nothing I could do but run.

At least there was a thousand other guys
there running with me.

No. There's no one left to run with.

It's just me.

Why don't you know where to run?

That's a sergeant's compass.

It's broken, remember?

It wouldn't help anyway.

They're coming from the north, south,
east, west.

It's only a matter of time now.

Yes.

But you've been given that time, Joe.

I am an angel.

I don't... An angel.

A messenger from God.

He said you were an angel.

Yes.

Why did you stick around for me?

Because you've lost your compass, Joe.

The one that told you right from wrong,
good from evil, love from hate, caring

from indifference.

Somehow that compass inside of you got
broken a long time ago.

Someone taught a little boy to lie and
steal and cheat.

You learn to sneer at honorable men and
noble deeds because no one taught you

how to find those things within yourself
But you can find them Joe with the

right compass and you must find them
Because you must be heading in the right

direction when you die then death will
have no victory

I'm not

sure

When or how.

But I know that you have the choice
about what kind of man you will be when

happens.

And that's the war that human beings
have fought with themselves since the

beginning of time. And that's the war
that God wants to help you to win

he loves you so much.

No one's ever really loved me.

No. Yes.

I do know.

So... So... He wants me to go get those
letters?

This war is finally not about the
bullets that you shoot, nor the blood

spill.

It is the stand that you make against
evil that God will bless and honor.

Ah, Joe, there are some things worth
dying for.

Walker knew it, and Eddie, Homer, Nick,
they knew it too.

There is no greater love than to lay
down your life for a friend.

And you have friends, Joe.

People you don't know, children that
haven't even been born yet.

Well, bless the memory and the courage
of the men who made us stand on this

soil.

when the world was nearly lost.

We'll be back.

I know Stella.

What?

The USO lady.

How come you know Stella?

She comes into the pet shop all the
time.

Mummy lets her hold the puppies.

Don't be afraid.

It's going to be okay.

We're going to win.

Who are you?

Andrew.

You GRS?

No.

I'm Brenda Monica.

I, um... I think this is what you're
looking for.

Those three...

Those were my buddies.

Yeah.

I know.

Why are you burying the Krauts?

There's no such thing as an American
angel.

Easy as pie.

How does it feel?

I've never really done anything that
mattered before.

It feels good.

It feels good.

I feel good!

Joe. Don't forget the letters.

I won't.

Will you help me write one, too?

Of course.

Dear Rupert.

Dear Rupert, you probably won't remember
me, kid, but you and I stood together

in the underground once during an air
raid.

It looks like I'm going to die out here
in France, and the truth is, it took me

this long to figure out what I was dying
for.

All my buddies had somebody to fight
for, but I never had a soul I cared

so it made fighting a lot harder than it
already is.

Anyway, I know it sounds crazy, but I
decided today to fight for you.

I hope that we win this war, so that you
can grow up and fall in love and get

married and have kids.

and that none of you ever, ever have to
fight another war like this again.

I'm nobody special, not even a very nice
guy, and I probably won't even have a

grave that you could find to drop a few
flowers on.

Just remember that you helped a soldier
to find his way home.

Thank you, Rupert, your friend, Joe.

May I help you?

I'm just looking.

I haven't been here in quite a while.

Oh, hello, Henry.

Henry's not for sale, I'm sorry to say.

Henry's lovely.

His cage is quite beautiful, too.

I've had that cage since I was a little
boy.

It's not for sale, either.

But that's an interesting story behind
it.

You're too young to remember this, young
lady, but there was a time when we

almost lost it all.

If it hadn't been for chaps like this.

His name was Joe.
