Sergeant River!

Did you see? I saw.

Don't worry. I got some form of response.

Going up that weak spot, remember? From Batstove?

And one hit right there, and then I saw some rope from them Tiger tanks.

That's too hard of a shot, Rube.

When did a hundred million get that shot?

Watch and learn.

Hey, Chef!

One degree down.

I'm keeping this thing directly in front of that Tiger.

One degree down.

Possible, son.

What's everybody's coming in?

Repeat after the file on my command.

I don't know, Tess.

There were reinforcements everywhere.

Guess you're in charge now.

Will, we need to see about Wiggles. I know. I know.

764, come in. This is Captain Hargrove.

764, come in.

Captain Hargrove.

Sergeant McFarney. Black Panthers.

Reading you loud and clear, Sergeant McFarney.

All what's left of the 761st Tank Division are to report to the 87th in

of Tillett by 1100 tomorrow.

They've lost all their tanks, and you're the only division available.

The 87th is guarding Tillett, our last stronghold in the area, and are under

attack by Hitler's top tank commander, General Adolf Heinrich.

Heinrich takes Tillett. The war is lost.

Copy that, sir.

To Lent by 1100.

miles away.

That gives us no time to refuel or to make repairs.

Top priority, Sergeant.

These orders come direct from Patton. Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

Copy that, sir.

We're not going back for Ribba's body, Will?

We can't, Ted.

Besides, we just got a new order.

I understand that, but Rivers... I know who he was!

I feel it, just like you do.

Will! I'm pulling us out of here, Ted!

Retreat!

Yes, sir!

Sherman's out of range, sir.

Break off this suit.

See about casualties and salvageable assets immediately.

Yes, Commandant.

We should be out of range now.

Do you know what's going on?

Something far worse than this, I gather.

Something worse than this.

You all right?

Tired ain't the word for how I'm feeling.

Neither of us have gotten any sleep, Will.

It's crazy.

And we still have to leave the other tank.

There's nothing we can't handle, though. Lord knows we've been through worse.

We have.

Don't worry.

We'll get some rest until later.

Stay focused as you can.

Can't believe Rivers is gone, Will.

Thought that brother would last forever.

Me too, Tess.

He was something special, wasn't he?

One of the best natural warriors I've ever seen.

He was an amazing man, Tess.

Don't got no room for nobody else, huh?

My wife's gone, Ted.

Four years now.

Once the doctor gave birth to my little Corinna.

You deployed right after that.

I remember.

I want to make that little girl proud.

And come back and want to pitch to a nurse and I hope she'll speak English

I get there.

We're alive.

Can't forget to live.

Life is a gift not promised.

I hear you.

I hear you.

You think they're going to treat us right when we get home?

You know, since we've been showing them what us Panthers can really do out here.

Can't speak on what they're going to do, Ted.

But I damn sure going to make them know that they owe us.

Patton himself asked for us.

It's all ours, including hers.

They're watching us now.

No mistakes.

I'm out fighting.

I'm out fighting, brother.

What direction?

We still in range?

You're the tank star.

You and I are the last tank, so we're fighting.

We'll engage with the German Tiger tanks and then retreat quickly while the

other tanks make it to 87 safely.

Yes, sir.

All tanks, proceed on course, full speed.

Do not follow me. Repeat, do not follow me.

Are we pursuing them, sir?

No, it would appear that they are interested in taking the fight to us.

Hold position.

You dare to fire on my command?

Sarge, them tigers need visit.

Can't flank them or get close to them. They'll destroy us.

Remember that maneuver we did training in Kentucky?

That F -formation maneuver?

You and Rivers invented that.

It could work.

You didn't get hit.

We're doing it right now.

It's the only way I can make it out alive.

Here, take the wheel.

Okay.

Fifty seconds out.

The tanks should be well out of range by now.

We need to retreat.

We're still in range. We're not going to make it.

Won't be the head, sir.

Watch this.

What are you doing?

Buying us time.

They're still in range, sir. Fire again?

Oh, it's fire again.

Throw that tank.

Blow those...

Sir, they're moving towards that ravine.

We can't follow them there. We'll never get out.

He is a black man.

They're out of range, sir.

Confused? They were clever.

By the time we followed them around to the ravine, they would have escaped.

Sir, the AT -7.

The reinforcements in Chile, they're just around the corner.

No doubt that the anti -tank guns are ready.

We've got those black men of the 761st I've been hearing about, notorious for

their victories in the battle.

Whether they be lucky or highly skilled, we will see these men again

this time.

How many times do you think that

never -seen -a -black -soldier -in -a -tank -trick is going to save us all?

That's up to them, Ted.

Psychological warfare.

They hate black skin?

We use it against them.

Tillett's is up the road. We made it.

It's a group with our men.

Already on it.

We'll be in Tillett soon.

Makes me smile that General Patton ordered us specifically here.

87th lost their tape and he ordered us to replace them.

They're tearing now.

Wonder what they're going to say when we come out the tank.

These guys need some serious fighting.

Halt!

Let's take it with HQ.

Well, take a look at that.

Can I help you with that, beautiful?

I'm fine, thank you.

Oh, you're more than fine. Come on.

Leave me alone.

Let me help you with that, man.

Okay, I should do it.

You hold it tight right there.

Thank you.

What's going on here?

Aren't you supposed to be having that tank boy?

He's helping me with my things.

What's the matter with us?

I asked you a question, boy.

That's Sergeant, sir.

Sergeant McBurney.

Is there a problem here, Sarge?

Sergeant Ernie Roberts, Sergeant McBurney of the 761st Tank Division

for duty.

Is this the 87th?

Must be 50 privately, sir.

I have some papers regarding our orders from General Patton.

I say again, thank you for your help. No problem.

Esther.

My name's Will.

Excuse us.

Oh, sorry.

If you're finished trying to get us killed, we're just in time for the

briefing. Are you coming?

Let's go.

Men, I'm not going to miss word.

We're in trouble.

Hitler needs to let or to lose the war.

He knows it and we know it.

As we speak, he's sending his best man, General Adolf Heinrich, our way.

Heinrich's reinforcements, said to outgun and outnumber us by a country

are already here and more are coming.

Patton's holding the West, but he's pulling every stop to send us what he

and who he can.

Settle down.

Settle down, then.

They're here to help.

Now, the arrival of the 761st we see here are a clear indication of Patton's

commitment to victory at any cost.

But no offense, boys, it may not be enough.

Some are calling this the Battle for Tillette or the Big Thaw, but we know it

the Devil's Icebox.

Because nobody warned us about the cold.

But whatever they end up calling it, men, this is a battle we cannot, I

we cannot lose!

He's made all the strikes now. Come on. Yes, sir. Get him up. Sir.

General Cullen.

Here,

sir.

All right, boy, you don't have to get your hands all over him. I'll take it

here.

What more things can you be accounted for outside, Sarge?

Should we get the tanks?

They're gone.

Two Germans and a bazooka.

Good.

You all right?

A little pissed off and ready for a fight.

Other than that, fine.

You?

Shane, I wish these boys were a little bit more welcoming, though.

Maybe after this... I don't care what they think about us, Ted.

As long as they understand, killing means to kill the uniform, not the skin

color.

The generals didn't give a plan of action yet. As far as you can see,

means business.

I'd feel a damn sight better if I was in my tank right now, Sarge.

The bazookas did some damage. We need to do repairs.

Let's go.

Hey, Will, these guys really with us?

Seems so.

What you think of Cullen's new spy orders?

Extra guards checking everybody's papers.

Spot stuff's getting serious.

They're everywhere right now.

I talked to them this morning. Trying to sabotage the communications.

Executed them boys this morning.

Oh, thank you.

There's nobody out here.

Serious game.

You know that means that Esther girl is off limits, right?

Hey, sweetheart.

Please, leave me alone, sir. A pretty Belgian woman who speaks English

That is useful in many ways.

Please. I don't want any trouble, sir.

We're not worried about that. Hold on, you'll be there.

Some of us have learned to make the best of it, however.

Captain Walker, leave her alone.

You okay?

Please.

Sergeant, I don't remember giving you any orders to come over here and disrupt

my conversation.

You're dismissed.

As I was saying, pretty one.

Hey, look here, young lady.

Don't mind this man.

Go on and get out of here.

Hey, where are you going?

Captain Walker.

May I have a word, please, sir?

You just ruined my evening, Sergeant.

Now I'm going to ruin yours.

Do you know what happens to all of us if you hit this man first, Will?

It's likely to work.

Yeah, I know.

The Black Tanker men are about to learn about war from outside their little huts

of iron.

City wide champ in the Bronx back home. Ooh.

We all just acting the wrong kind of problem.

Oh, yeah?

Sorry.

It's okay.

We don't want no problem, Walker.

Too late for that now, son.

Problems want you.

Woo!

Woo! You can take a bunch.

I can take all you got. Maybe even a little more.

That's good to know.

Will!

Nice work. You can still walk away, Walker.

Minimal damage control.

Walk away?

I think I prefer to see you on all fours, my friend.

Go for it. Show him, Will.

Let's go.

Very impressive.

Sir, are you all right?

What are you waiting on?

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Sir! Peyton, I got this.

Sarge. You sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Sarge, we can handle this.

Back up. Let me just... Back up. Come on, man.

Wrong thing. Got nothing on Harlem, Private.

Van Tuyt, Champion, 1939.

Boy,

you ain't the champion of nothing.

A

fight,

Captain Walker?

How could you allow this?

My office.

Now!

At least they let us sleep in here for a couple of hours.

You were the only one sleeping, Ted.

We in trouble, Sarge?

When aren't we in trouble?

Black Panther.

General Cullen.

Sir.

I don't think I have to tell you how much Walker...

And damn near every man in the 87th Ward. See you to court martial for what

happened this afternoon.

No, sir. Damn it. From what Walker told me, any other time but this, immediate

dismissal with the maximum incarceration time allowed would seem to be the most

fitting punishment.

But these aren't those times.

At ease.

And frankly, judging by your relatively heroic behavior in the church earlier

today, I'm inclined to dismiss some of Walker's renditions as maybe a little

hyperbolic.

You may have been briefed.

You know we've lost our tank division.

Yes, sir.

We thought we'd be fine against these Tigers with our airstrikes. The patent

won't order any.

Bombers can't fly when the cloud cover's this thick.

And the fog's been thick like this for weeks now, with no end in sight.

So with no air support, we need the best tanks in the business.

You are who Patton said could do the job.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Hitler's limping, but he's still got us by the short and curly.

And we're sitting duck next to his ironside tiger.

But Patton says you are just what the doctor ordered.

But we're not what we used to be, sir.

We're down on tanks with barely two men to operate.

From what I hear, three of your tanks in fighting form are worth ten of anybody

else's. I mean, that's just what I heard.

We're Panthers, sir.

We come out fighting every time.

Negroes fighting alongside whites.

Thought I'd seen everything.

Look, my men are not gonna like you boys.

But if you fight hard, they'll have no choice but to fight right alongside you.

That much I guarantee.

As long as they don't get in our way.

Tillette's rumored to be Hitler's last stand.

Ours too.

The fight outside Bastogne nearly crushed us.

20 ,000 men dead so far.

We're tired.

If Hitler's man Heinrich takes Tillette, he'll put through the channel.

He'll have the water.

From there...

Germans have won the war.

This Heinrich, he any good?

He specializes in tank warfare in this terrain.

He's the best at what he does, and he's ruthless.

That might be who we met on the way here.

So you're already engaged with this enemy.

I need you to do what Patton believes you can do with those tanks.

And lead us in the battle to stop him.

That's what we're here for, sir.

Good.

I was hoping it wasn't just to meet up with pretty belligerent women.

Be careful with fraternizing with the local sergeant.

And having an issue with spies and folks dressed up as friends of the U .S.

Army.

Yes, sir.

We're at war.

Don't forget that.

Counter -attack launches at 0400 tomorrow morning.

Surprise attack on their base from the high ground east of Tulane.

Your tanks are leading the way.

Do we understand each other, Sergeant?

Yes, sir.

I guess we're officially invited to the party.

Oh, Lord, out the pan, back into the fire.

Go on ahead. I'll be all right.

Will, just go.

William. Esther.

Thank God you're okay.

I'm so sorry to have caused you all of this trouble.

Are you thirsty? Do you need food? I'm fine.

And you didn't cause anything, Esther.

Sometimes soldiers get crazy.

It happens.

What are you still doing here?

I was waiting to see if you were all right.

You waited out here this whole time I was inside?

Twice you have been very kind to me.

Twice. I wanted to... You didn't have to do that, Esther.

In fact, you shouldn't have.

If people see you giving a U .S. soldier attention like this, it looks

suspicious.

It is suspicious.

You think I'm one of those spies they talk about?

I have to go, Esther.

You think I'm a spy, but you talk to me anyway.

I have to go.

You are a brave man, William.

William.

Your heart is in your eyes.

The other streets, Esther.

It's dangerous.

It just sounded real good, brother.

Coming out for you, son.

You sure we're undetected?

Fresh snow.

No German tracks on these roads.

Keep an eye out.

General Cullen.

We need a platoon here.

General Cullen.

Approaching the hilltop shortly.

We have a clear view on German positions.

Excellent. Approach as planned.

We're expecting to see approximately 22 tanks in infantry parks.

Tanks are likely unmanned.

Strike from high ground.

You can disable and damage at least half of them.

Yes, sir.

You getting the same bad feelings I'm getting?

You mean like everything's about to go crazy?

Yeah.

I'm opening up the hatch.

Take the wheel.

Roll to five.

Yes, sir.

We're calling, sir.

The reinforcements aren't on their way. They're here.

What are you talking about, Sergeant?

The counter -German tank is about 50, sir.

There's more soldiers than expected.

50? According to who?

My own eyes, sir.

You have the high ground.

How many can you take out?

I'll tell you when we're finished.

Shit. Tiger tanks.

Captain Walker!

We have come to give the okay to ambush the tanks.

Most of the regular panzers we can destroy easy, but I spotted some tiger

Tiger tanks?

How many?

By my count, five so far, sir.

Leave the tigers.

Their armor's too strong in battle or even just sitting there.

Don't fire on them.

You'll only waste your shells. They're just about indestructible. Sir. Get him

over. There's a weakness just below the tiger tank's hatch. If hit directly, it

can destroy the entire tank.

Planes are the only precision firepower we have to hit a mark like that,

Sergeant. Too hard for another tank to hit that.

But we've done it, sir.

It's a difficult shot, but... We don't have time, Sergeant.

Just do as I said.

Take out as many panzers as you can, but leave the Tigers alone.

Sir, if I can show you... That's an order, Sergeant.

Wouldn't even listen.

What'd you expect?

Straighten your helmets, try to hide.

And your shirt!

Go fixin' the belt, buddy.

Well, Dick!

Rivers knew what to do with him.

Rivers was one of those people who could hit a bullseye from a mile away.

Get ready.

Go hard again.

You want to be nasty?

Well, show them nasty.

Don't think that it's a green.

What are you doing?

The impossible.

What are you doing, Sergeant? Remember this job?

Doing the shot we planned to hit.

Fire!

What are these guys doing? They're useless.

I don't know, sir, but they're the only ones who can return fire right now.

Totem five degrees down.

Fire!

Will!

Almost there.

Shells are deflecting off the Tigers. These guys don't know what they're

We're getting destroyed.

Can't we do something, sir? What are your orders?

Orders? We need to retreat.

Totem 18 degrees.

Fire!

Totem impossible.

Stop. a reason.

Reloading.

Almost there.

Got more to go.

Yeah, that's a big copy.

which we could

Tanks must be destroyed!

The Germans have three times the expected tank count.

This is terrible.

We have a real tank battalion.

Sergeant, that is.

I say we radio Patton to send more, if not better, tanks with real tank

commanders this time.

We call for help, then sit tight until they get here.

You're suggesting we do nothing for weeks, Captain?

What other option is there, General?

All due respect, General, those Germans aren't going to allow us to sit anywhere

for any weeks.

They're ready to strike right now.

You can't say that with any certainty, soldier.

They attacked y 'all yesterday.

Two men. They were just testing us. General, let's just wait and see.

And just now on the hill, General, I see a way to victory, sir.

Sir.

Sergeant.

Tiger tanks have a vulnerability on top of the turret. It's above the 75

millimeter. Common knowledge.

Only tank buster planes have access to that weakness.

It's a one in a million shot team to tank. Sir, we just got that shot.

My man Roberts here can get that shot.

Walker saw it.

Walker?

I don't know, sir.

Might have been some luck involved.

Sir, with given time, all Black Panthers can get that shot.

I know you men have trained a lot.

Wouldn't let the Black men fight.

Hell yeah, we're prepared.

What's your success ratio?

It's one out of four, sir.

I see it on the field just now.

It took four shots to get a successful hit.

All due respect, General, we can't leave the fate of the Allied Army to some

gang of one out of five backwoods over -practiced amateurs.

Over -practiced? Who?

Sir,

the Germans think their Tiger tanks are invincible.

I say if we make them think differently, we might weaken their resolve to

attack. Stupid idea, General. The thought that battle -hardened Germans

hesitate and attack because of peace... Will, I had enough of this dude!

Sergeant McBurney, you can control your soldier. Do I have to?

It's enough.

It's good.

The Black Panthers can do it, sir.

I have to say no to the idea, Sergeant.

By Walker's account today, you had such an opportunity and landed what he calls

a lucky shot.

One out of four, this isn't good enough ratio, son.

And on top of everything else, temperature's dropping hard.

I did not know Belgium was this cold, man.

Yeah. Y 'all didn't get blankets?

Not enough, Sarge.

What? Not enough.

They got plenty of blankets.

That's not what Walker and his quartermaster think.

What are you talking about?

Walker says they're fresh out.

Fresh out of Blake's house.

Sarge, I've been watching stuff like this all night.

It's crazy.

Captain Walker.

May I have a word with you, please, sir?

How can I help you, Sergeant?

Sir, my men are out here frostbitten while you're out here openly sharing

blankets with the enemy.

Oh, yeah. I told a couple of your men earlier we ran out of supplies for you

guys.

Next supply drops in a couple of days. Get you all sorted out then.

Sir, with all due respect, are you out of your mind?

You have German soldiers cozy with snow blankets, while U .S. soldiers, my U .S.

soldiers, are out here freezing to death, and you say that's all right?

Detecting a bit of a tone there, Sergeant.

It's hitting a tone. Hey, look here, man.

Will!

You know what? You're right.

You're absolutely right, Sergeant.

Give your men my apologies. I'll rectify the situation post -haste.

You'll fix it?

Absolutely.

We thought we were out of supplies, but it turns out one of my men found some

more.

I'll take care of it.

Hey, we're all on the same team, right?

All good?

Doesn't look like it, huh?

They ain't giving us a damn thing, Will.

I can't take any more of this, man.

What's that?

Esther!

Esther,

what? What, what?

I've been waiting for the opportunity to speak to you again. I am very angry.

What do you mean?

What? How do you fight alongside... How can you fight alongside these men?

I see how they treat you. They smile at Germans rather than treat you as equal.

How do you do this?

Everybody over here in a minute.

I see this, and I feel angry.

I know. I know. But you are Belgian.

Okay? Things are very different in America.

Complicated.

No.

No. Evil and good are simple things everywhere. And what these soldiers are

doing? Not all of them.

Look at you. You defend them.

You are a powerful man, William.

The first time I see you, I look into your eyes.

You are strong.

You are good.

These men should be behind you, helping you help them.

But they hate you.

You see a lot, don't you?

Well, I see you, William.

Some men are not so hard to see.

Much pain, but much desire for the right thing.

This war has taken so much from me, from the

beginning, my husband.

And since then, more than I can say.

I'm sorry, Esther.

I'm truly sorry.

I lost my wife beginning of the war as well.

Childbirth.

My daughter's back at home.

I recognize it.

Pain such as this rips away a false thing.

Makes you forget how to lie.

Wow.

You speak English a lot better than most people speak their entire life.

Why? Why do you give so much of yourself to these men?

You serve them with such passion.

But why?

Because my daughter gives me something to believe in.

The dream of my country gives me something to believe in.

Just because some people can't see my worth doesn't mean I won't keep standing

up for what I believe in.

William, will you tell me more about your daughter?

Yeah, tell us more about your daughter, William.

And while you're at it, why don't you share some U .S. secrets with the spy

here? The Germans damn near won the war already.

Captain Walker, she's not a spy. Save it, Sergeant.

We've both been ordered to report to Cullen immediately.

That is, unless you want me to tell him you're busy?

No.

Let's go.

You okay?

Be right back.

Come in, boys.

Sir.

At ease.

Boyd, I'm from the South, North Florida.

You want to talk racial problems?

Hell, I can insert a whole bunch of my personal feelings on the matter, and we

can have a grand old time.

But I don't think that's what Patton's expecting.

Walker, I want all those U .S. coal blankets removed from those prisoners of

and every cigarette in their mouth taken out as soon as this meeting is done. Do

I make myself clear?

Yes, sir.

We're at war with these folks. They ain't our friends.

Yes, sir.

Now listen, we just received intelligence that Hitler's planning to

Tillet with everything he's got in 24 hours.

24 hours.

He's bringing all the reinforcements you all reported seeing.

And the remaining tank division from the north.

Unless we stop him by this time tomorrow, he'll have taken Tillet and

to the English Channel.

The good news is, the Russians have taken his experienced tank commanders.

All save General Heinrich.

Yes, sir.

Tomorrow, we will be up to our eyeballs in fresh meat.

Teenagers and whatever Hitler can find from the elementary schools of Berlin.

All willing and committed, if not proficient, at killing allied soldiers,

and white.

Walker, this is our tank commander.

You will command your men to respect him and follow him through hell if that's

what it takes. Do you understand me?

But, sir, I can't... Do you understand me?

Yes, sir.

And you, sir, take no comfort in that.

When I return home, if I get to return to a home, I'll be sitting on my porch

with my friends.

Trusted friends that I've known since childhood.

And we'll be discussing one of two things already in your performance to

One, the medal I'll be asked to pin upon your chest after your success.

Or two,

the goddamn I told you so I'll be expressing the patent after your

Do I make myself clear, Sergeant?

Yes, sir.

The Germans are attacking in 24 hours. That means we're attacking in four.

Surprise attack?

With a few tanks we have left, we need the element of surprise in a fast, if

minute, pincer attack with the infantry down the middle.

I'm not sure we're ready for this, sir.

We're so outnumbered. And I've heard German General Heinrich is vicious.

A soldier should always be ready to die. Do or die.

There are no other options.

If the Germans attack till late tomorrow without us trying to interfere, it's

over.

Understood, sir.

You Panthers had better deliver.

Yes, sir.

Uh, sir.

Permission to be dismissed.

Some interrogations of captured Germans require my immediate attention.

Permission granted.

Very immense battle.

Yes, sir.

Sergeant, until it's absolutely necessary, keep the timing of our

with only your most trusted officers.

I don't need to remind you there are spies with Allied uniforms all around

Yes, sir.

An attack in less than four hours?

Are you certain?

This is direct.

From the horse's mouth, as Americans say.

We outnumber them by more than three to one. They are fools.

The surprise attack before we are fully prepared?

Cannot wait a moment longer. We attack immediately.

Immediately?

General, allow us two hours to make absolutely certain. I intend

They prepare a surprise for us.

We turn the favor in full.

Ready or not, by sheer numbers, we will decimate them.

Yes, sir.

One thing.

These panther men, you've been with them up close, yes?

What are they like, their character?

The blacks?

They are oafish, useless men.

More focused on the women of the village than on the precision of battle.

I have met them on the battlefield.

They demonstrated more cleverness than what you say.

I have spoken to them several times face to face, Air General.

They are simple men.

I assure you, these black... The Panther men, as they call themselves, are

nothing to the might of the German army.

Good.

I will have the men prepare an immediate attack.

The 761st will drive out to distract them, while the 81st hits them from the

flank.

McBurney, what you're proposing sounds like a straight -up suicide mission.

It might be, sir.

It might be.

The factual odds are not in our favor.

But I promise you, I don't do anything unless I see victory on the other side.

Fair enough.

All right, then.

Men!

Let us proceed with the plan as orchestrated.

We are officially in God's hands now.

You heard the plan.

This is do or die, gentlemen.

I don't know about you, but I plan on kicking some ass and going home after

this.

Who's with me?

All right, then.

What's the battle call I hear you Black Panthers say?

Come out fighting, sir.

87.

761st.

You heard the man.

Come out fighting!

Come out fighting!

Let's go!

Come out fighting! Come out fighting!

Soldier, radio high command.

Tell them I expect to be in Gillette by the end of the day.

Yes, sir.

Also, General, I've been advised to... Tell you about a new weather report.

Weather report?

Look at the sky.

The weather is beautiful.

Radio High Command immediately.

Tell them what I say.

Yes, sir.

Come on. Get ready.

Get the hell in store.

Move it, soldier.

Move it. We've got three hours.

I'm telling you, Will, that Esther girl is bad news.

Glad to see playtime's over for you and her.

I thought I was playing.

What are you talking about, Will?

She's probably not most likely a spy playing you for information.

She's just trying to stay alive.

Belgians are like the Vichy French, damn near German.

Besides, what are you going to do?

Take her home to your daughter in Harlem?

You weren't thinking about that, were you?

No, no.

Why would I?

Get to your positions now!

Everyone, to your positions.

Go, go, go!

Surprise attack.

I thought we had more time.

This wasn't supposed to be happening for another 20 hours.

They're going for the sitting tank.

We have to get them out of range. Where's out of range?

What do we do, sir?

We have to head east, okay?

Head east on the road to the main fork in the road coming into town, okay? That

will be our rendezvous point.

Just drivers.

No teens, okay? Get as many as possible and get out of range, okay? Yes, sir.

Go. Tell the other Black Panthers, go.

What are you going to do? I'll follow you. My takes behind that wall are not

going to hit me, okay?

But first, not the woman.

Meet me at the rendezvous point, okay? That's an order, Sergeant.

Hey, Ted.

Someone once told me life's a gift not promised.

I'll be there.

And the men still live.

Radio, order ten tanks to the western woods there to destroy those men.

But, sir, we almost have complete victory in the middle of town.

It is wise to shift our focus so close to our win.

My apologies, gentlemen.

Prepare my tank.

I wish to be there myself when these men die.

I don't know how we're gonna make it through this.

Ernie?

You okay?

Yeah. You good? Yeah.

Okay, just a little tighter right there.

You're good at this.

Show a couple medics.

Medic!

Get down!

I got him down!

Come on.

Before I forget who you are.

You don't think I'm a spy?

I have to go.

Only

one

minute to take.

That's what we're down to.

Come on, fire.

Fire on those tanks down there. They are the Pintas.

They are out of range, sir.

We'll send two Tigers down there to destroy them now.

They all are.

Sarge.

Sarge. What's the plan?

We can't afford any mistakes.

There's only one of us per tank right now. It doesn't matter if there's 50 of

per tank. We need to get up that hill and knock out that leader.

It's the only way we win this thing.

That's a good idea.

But we might as well save the fuel.

He'll be coming down here in a minute.

How do you know that, Sarge?

Because he wants us, and I mean us, the last tank division all destroyed today.

We're the last defense for the 87th.

That's why Titan sent us here.

So what are we doing, Sarge?

We're outnumbered.

Please tell me we're going to cut our losses and then head home so we can go

back up north to Patton.

The way I hear it, there won't be no more north, south, east, or west.

We'll leave here and defeat today.

These guys got us dead to rights, Will. Took us completely by surprise and wiped

out nearly half of the machinery we had left.

But we're here.

With these tanks, our enemies are untested 17 -year -old amateur tankers

following a desperate leader.

Our mission is defined.

Take the general, win the day.

Amateurs are not. That's a lot of tanks.

Yeah, but we're panthers. They're not.

It's true.

Come out fighting, I guess.

Not fighting.

Sarge. I'll hold him off.

I'll hold him off as long as I can.

One second, Claire!

It's an order!

Make it count, sir.

I'm sorry, Jack.

Everyone, what Wilson just did for us, we can't let it go for nothing.

Everyone, get out of the race now.

I got the left leg.

And I'll take the right, son.

We're going to take these two out.

Are you okay?

I think so.

But my main gun's useless now.

When did that come?

Jensen! No!

Hey! We're ridiculously outnumbered.

Even for us.

We can't keep losing our men.

Let's retreat and find a place to regroup.

You and I both know I'm surrounded, Will.

I think I've run out of places to regroup to.

What are you talking about?

You got a path to your left.

Just ride through.

Not anymore, I thought.

I'm trapped, Sarge.

No. Get out of there, Dad.

We need you, brother.

What would Rivers do if he was in my situation, man?

to do for his country.

We can still get out of this, Danny.

You can.

Live, Will.

Bring that white girl home to your mama.

Kiss her full on the lips in front of the Apollo.

See what everybody can do.

me and get it over with, General.

My German brothers have already claimed victory.

I'll take an honorable death in exchange for a total German victory any time.

You're not going to die an honorable death for what you did, Walker.

You're going to need to feel better, Colin. Listen to me.

I'm listening.

Stand this man up for immediate trial.

Yeah. You okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Thanks. You too.

How many tanks did the 760 first lose?

Just me, sir.

Sorry for your losses, Commander.

Heinrich still has them in.

We need a new plan, sir.

That we do, soldier.

That we do.

Bernie.

I never should have trusted that man.

Appreciate the admission, sir.

Maybe you can trust me a bit now.

What do you got in mind?

I want this operation complete in less than an hour. Am I clear?

Yes, sir.

We have high ground, we element of surprise, and we outnumber them.

We have no chance.

Stay in line and keep that distance.

We're going to pop out any time.

Stay in line.

Are you sure they'll become this way, sir?

They will.

I am sure of it.

If you say so, sir.

Think I see them, sir?

After them! This is our chance!

We'll destroy them now.

Here we go.

I want this man destroyed in minutes.

Damn it.

It's getting fast.

gaining on himself almost there

to stop the Germans.

It's only a matter of time before the Germans destroy us and take over Tillet.

The war is there.

The Allies have lost.

What did you do?

You mean suicide?

General, I'm going to distract them and give you more time.

He can return to Chile. I want that black man dead in the snow. Do you

understand me?

I will personally see the lot of you shot if he escapes.

Sergeant Rome, move now!

You two, get out and capture him.

Hand me your firearm.

Now!

It's been a pleasure serving with you, Sergeant McBurney.

To the bitter end, General.

To the bitter end.

I wanted to get home to you, little girl.

Get home and hug you.

Make sure you know that your daddy loves you.

Make sure you know that you weren't all alone in this world.

Still hoping I can for some reason.

But it's all to God right now.

Either way,

Daddy loves you.

General Cullen!

General Cullen!

Hey, Bernie! Go ahead!

Weather report was correct, sir.

This plan just might work.

Got the clearing up, sir.

Don't know if the skies will clear in time.

Germans might just win this one.

Even with good weather.

We're in a really bad way here.

Copy that, sir.

Not good enough, McBurn.

I must.

Need to make time.

Well, the radio just said he is surrendering.

What we do?

Bring us closer!

We are getting an urgent message. Bring us closer!

Stop the tank!

Wait for my orders!

I want to destroy this man myself.

the pleasure of looking into your empty eyes.

Are you ready to die?

It's a beautiful day to die.

The plan worked, sir.

I don't know how you did it, son, but you just executed one of the bravest

I think I've ever seen.

It all hangs on how much hate that man had, sir.

Turns out he hated us more than he wanted to win the war.

Gillette?

Tank bombers taking out everything they got.

Cocky sons of guns left themselves so exposed, they'll have all their tanks

either destroyed or repurposed in 30 minutes.

Their game is over.

We've won, son.

We've won.

You've won.

Thank you, son.

Hey, Grandma.

Oh, Will.

Hi. Hi.
