UH, THE PEOPLE TELL ME OUR NORTH Koreans
ain't doing so well today.
They keep missing that bridge.
Lieutenant Pryor calling.
Hal.
This is Sam. [snorts]
Easy B just pulled back across the river
as planned. Good. Noisy up there?
And snowy. Reds are smelling everything
in sight except the bridge. I have a
hunch they want to use it themselves.
How about blowing it? You got the
charges wired?
No, but I will by the time you get
division's okay. Check. Calling you
back. Over and out. Right.
They'll look one day, you blow it up the
next. You know, they're stealing that
thing. American steel.
The way the army wastes money. You think
us That's Peters headache to burn.
Johnny.
Tell Bowman to pick up some dynamite and
meet me down by the bridge.
Somebody call for demolition there?
Demolition expert Bowman.
NELSON! SIMON AND BOWMAN ARE OUT THERE,
JOHNNY.
WHERE'S THAT BAZOOKA? HAD to break OUT
SOME NEW AMMO.
OKAY, WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS.
YES.
PERFECT TIMING, BOSS. DIVISION SAYS

THE POOP from Davis. Sure, boss.
Yes, sir, Lieutenant.
Yes, sir, I understand, sir.
Right, sir, I have it.
I have it.
Yes, sir, that minefield was cleaned out
at 1600. You can use that terrain
anytime you want.
Yes, sir, absolutely.
Major, sir.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir, got you, Colonel Peterson.
Yes, sir, we can put that bridge back in
6 hours if we need it. Ferrying detail?
I'm using Able Company.
Captain Davis' company, that's right,
sir.
Yes, sir, I appreciate its importance.
Correct, sir.
Next thing you know, they'll want to be
Press! Write a whole raft of those
calls.
That bridge of yours did a lot of
things, Lieutenant.
For one, it brought G2 here.
Captain Adams, Lieutenant Pryor.
I
Nobody's sorry, I understand, but your
information has complicated matters.
We've been planning our big offensive
for the area where your bridge was.
Now, the Reds are trying to make us
think they're going to hit through there
themselves.
Sounds as simple as that.
But if they really mean it,
why does every small patrol we've sent
out from here meet absolutely no
resistance until they reach here
and hit a wall of fire?
Reds are hiding something.
And air reconnaissance can't find it.
But if our attack is to begin in 72
hours, we've got to know what it is.
Small patrols can't do it, so
division is sending a company of Greek
infantry on a reconnaissance in force.
And of course, the engineers get to
ferry them.
You're a ball, Hal.
The second platoon takes off at 1900 and
makes contact with the first Greek
brigade, which has just been moved in
here. Now then, when you
>> the second platoon?
Yes, what about it? Well, nothing. It's
just that
Well, I don't think my men will jump
through any hoops when they find out
they have to be with the Greeks.
Nobody expects them to jump through
hoops, Jorgenson.
All you have to do is paddle Greeks
across, wait for them, and bring them
back. The brass thinks it's right down
their alley. They're guerrilla fighters.
You might learn something from them. I
don't have anything against them, sir.
It's just that well, It's okay with you,
Hal.
I'll be glad to switch with Jorgenson.
I'm not asking anybody to switch. Take
it easy. Take it easy. I'm asking.
Some of my closest friends are Greeks,
including my father.
You know that. Sure, I know it, Sam, but
we figured you were due for a rest after
what you had today. We can rest when we
get back.
Who knows? I might meet a couple of my
cousins.
Okay, Sam, it's yours.
Anything else, Major? No.
That's it.
Oh, Pryor.
Stick around a minute, will you?
Have yourself a cup of coffee and pour
one for me.
Somebody flavored it with a piece of old
rubber, but it's hot.
Sit down, Pryor.
Uh, where is that sugar?
Every time we retake this area, I can't
find the sugar.
I've been in and out of this hut so many
times, I feel like a yo-yo.
Thanks.
>> [sighs]
>> I asked you to stay, Pryor, because
Jorgenson's attitude bothers me.
I'm afraid a lot of men share it. Maybe
not as many as you think, sir.
Or more?
You ever know of any troops, I don't
care what nationality, who like to fight
with foreigners, especially under
foreign command?
You told me about my men, sir.
We've been together a long time.
I know them, every one of them, and they
know me.
They even know my name used to be
Priobolos.
Okay, Pryor.
Giving personal advice in the army is as
bad as volunteering. We're both crazy.
Good luck.
Thanks.
How'd it go? Get the gang together, will
you?
First platoon!
Over here.
All right.
You guys have been yammering that this
is a UN war, where are our allies?
Well, tonight you're going to get a
chance to see some.
Ferrying detail with the first Greek
brigade.
While detached, we'll be under Greek
command. Any different from the
commander we GOT NOW, SIR?
>> [laughter]
>> YOU TRYING TO SCARE US, LIEUTENANT?
One more thing.
I uh
volunteered you guys for this.
I kind of figured that
you might like to meet some original
Greeks instead of a carbon copy like me.
Too bad we're only ferrying them. I'd
like to see them in action.
Now.
Anybody want to stay at home?
I take your vote of confidence in the
spirit it's given.
They're as tough as the Turks, boys. I
hate them Turks as fierce.
>> [laughter]
>> I think you'll find them plenty tough.
They've been gorilla fighting since
Socrates was a pup.
As a matter of fact, their rating is
pretty fantastic.
Okay, finish with chow. We shove off
1900.

Captain Hadjis. Captain. Lieutenant

Corporal Marakis to interpret when

Graduate of American school in Athens. I
salute you, Americans, my friends.
Yassas.
MAY I LEAVE THIS?
KEEP IT CLEAN, BOSS.

>> FRYER. FRYER. I MEAN, UH
PRYOR.
THE captain wants us to know that he and
his men are looking forward to tonight's
mission.
Well, the captain's lucky. We never look
forward to anything but getting back
from a mission. I never saw any of our
guys dance before in action.
Palamas, the Greek poet, says about
people that they walk through history
dancing.
It is also said of them that they
sometimes like to fight.
Uh the colonel believes that a touch of
brandy before battle quickens a man's
blood. He waits to greet you and your
officers.
Brandy, huh? I told you they were
wonderful people.
He just like the brandy coffee he used
to make.
And now,
good luck. Thank you, Captain.
Thank you, sir.
I thought we came here for a river
crossing. When are these birds going to
get around to that?
Now, Sergeant, we can see what these
birds have to say about our river
crossing. I'm sorry, sir. I forgot you
parlay the language. Today, the whole
world speaks your language.
I have worked out the details.
You will be in charge of the river
operation.
When we reach a point somewhere along
this shore,
you will choose the most likely beach
for a landing.
Clear? I know the area very well,
Captain. Go ahead. We spent a lifetime
in there a few days ago.
Once we have landed, I will take over.
We will maintain absolute radio silence.
Except to transmit whatever information
we learn behind their curtain of fire.
Clear? Clear.
I do not anticipate any difficulty. You
will remain a short distance inland. I
will proceed to my objective, force a
breach, feast my eyes on whatever it is
the enemy is concealing, and return.
Then you should be back by dawn. Or
before.
Suppose I run into trouble forcing a
breach. What about us?
Captain said if he does not return to
the river within a reasonable amount of
time, to leave him some boats and get
out.
We'll be ready for you, Captain, at the
river in 45 minutes. Now, with your
permission.
Yeah. They don't understand them, that's
all.
They've never been licked, at least by
any country their own size.
The ancient Greek warriors were pretty
hot stuff.
And I don't hesitate to remind you of
it, do they? My pops like that. He bowls
two consecutive strikes and you'd think
he invented the game.
Hey, Taylor. Take a look.
Would my wife go for this? How much do
you want for it?
Good American money.
He said he'd give it to you,
but it's bad luck unless he gets
something for it.
He, uh,
only wants a penny.
Thanks, fathead.
Okay.
Shrapnel holes when the truck hit that
land mine.
How many boats were on that truck? Four.
We mixed them with the others when we
shifted the load. If they all have holes
like these, it shouldn't be any trouble
to pick them up.
Hey, boss.
Here's another one.
Double-check every boat. Leave the deads
here and we'll get along with what we
have. Snap it up.
>> Okay, boss.
No luck, boss. All four boats cut to
pieces.
Well, at least 14 boats to ferry almost
200 men across. Great.
Hey, fellas.
Get it, will you?
Let us pray to the Lord
that he fight on our side,
vanquish our foes and the powers of
forces.
God have mercy.
Let us pray to the Lord for the
fertility of the fruit-bearing soil,
for the time of the peace to come.
God have mercy.
Look, Sam.
We're almost loaded already with our
troops.
Okay, then. Pull up the machine guns and
the mortars. We'll take only what we can
hand carry. We're going to be awfully
naked, sir.
Take one light machine gun. Stash the
rest. But you have no need to fear, my
friends. You're under Greek protection.
You heard the man.
Leave a couple of guards with it and
let's get started.
Take the bazookas, mortars, and machine
guns off.
Where are you going with that?
Well, Sam said everything you could hand
carry. Heard him myself. He didn't mean
explosives. Get rid of it.
As Suzy says, always wear your to make
sure it doesn't rain.
Unless there's some more ceremonies boss
we got to shove off.
Okay.
We'll dig in here.
Have your men dig in. Perimeter defense.
Good luck.
Wish you were going with you. You will
be behind us. That is even better.
Any damage in here?
Corporal.
Find yourself a place in the band. Yes,
sir.
Now this is the way to fight a war.
All those Greeks armed to the teeth
between us and the reds.
You know, Smitty.
I bet those Greeks can really fight.
I bet they're up there right now giving
those reds a hard time.
>> [whistles]
>> Ah, knock it off Bowman.
You know, Smitty.
The Greeks used to wear skirts in the
battle, too. Somebody's out there.
Get ready. Pass the word. Pass the word.
>> [screaming]
>> How bad?
Couple wounded but they'll be all right.
One dead.
Who?
Hedley.
Smitty.
Take somebody with you and scout the
woods. I want to know what's going on.
Wait a minute.
You better take Morakis with you in case
you need an interpreter. You bet, boss.
Scouting party. Right.
Morakis scouting party.
I don't understand.
Something's wrong.
Maybe we should go back. You better read
my mind.
Alien, you want to go on back? Tell
Smitty I want to see him at the quick
for a minute. Yeah, but you go on. You
two Morakis. Yes.
Smitty.
What goes? Looks like we're in a spot.
The only Greeks we saw had their hands
up in the air.
Where's Smitty? He stayed out there.
Armed to the teeth, huh? Oh, I knew it
all the time. Those Greeks are no lousy
good.
Okay, so we got allies.
I'll tell you what I'm going to do.
Nobody dies. Absolutely nobody. The
Greeks are taking over the war. All we
got to do is row and down the river,
bring him back. That's all, pals.
Everybody happy? Taylor, Morakis, over
here.
Where's Smitty? He's still looking
around out there.
How many Greeks did you see? Oh, about a
dozen.
They all had their hands up.
No bodies, no sign of a fight? There
might have been one up ahead of us.
That's why Smitty stayed out. Only I
don't think so. The firing was too
light.
Let's get out of here.
Don't forget Captain Harris we could use
our own discretion.
How about it?
If we had our heavier weapons, Sam. But
this way it only makes sense to get out.
You men are getting out, all right. But
it's going to be a round trip. Johnson,
you go across and pick up all the heavy
stuff and bring it back here fast. If
they're in any trouble, we're going in
give them support. Chuck, you, Stoney,
and Bowman stay here with me. The rest
of the platoon, the wounded, they'll go
with you.
Once you get across, the wounded can
walk back. Get started.
Rakis,
stick around. I might need you. Yes,
sir.
Okay, Sam.
That's the way you want it, that's the
way it's going to be.
On your feet, we're moving out.
Bowman,
you and Stoney stay here.
I'll be light, sir.
Our platoon should be back any minute.
They should have been back by now.
Let's get back to work.
A whole platoon, Sam.
A whole Aussie platoon.
Is Captain Harris with them?
Just 23 in this group, sir. They were
cut off when they were jumped by the
enemy. They've not seen their captain.
It was bad, Lieutenant.
We had to fight very hard to get
through.
Came back here hoping to find everybody.
I'm very sorry about this.
Are you?
This gun hasn't been fired.
What did you fight with, Lieutenant?
Slingshots?
But there's no blood on it, my fine
Greek countryman.
Like this one, for instance.
Ain't that Johnson's scarf?
He's the joker that gave it to Johnson
in the first place.
You don't suppose he knew all along that
Johnny'd get killed and he'd get it
back.
It's all taken care of.
Now, there's the last of it. The Reds
got the rest.
So our guys never knew what hit them.
They knew.
And they fought.
And I got them into it.
Suppose we'd ferried Americans across
the river, Sam, and they'd gotten into
trouble. You'd want our boys to support
them, now, wouldn't you?
Wouldn't you, Sam?
They'd have been our boys, they wouldn't
have fouled out.
We shouldn't have been here in the first
place.
It's a cinch not what I come here for.
Probably to make sure none of us are
left.
Lossing and Chuck, it's hard to take
care of that tank if you want. It would
give me the greatest of pleasure,
Lieutenant. That's great. We can handle
it easy alone. Alone?
Nobody saw me surrender.
Of course, I'm only part Greek.
You do not have to see us if we keep out
of sight. If you should fail to destroy
it, Lieutenant Pryor,
it won't fail to find the rest of us.
Okay, boys.
Let's shove off.
You can help by keeping out of sight.
Let's put them out.
>> Now, these students took the easy way.
Coming up on the blind spot. We could
have picked those guys off as they came
out of the hatch. Waste all that ammo?
But, this is Vargas. This is Vargas.
What did you say your men are going?
The boats. Of course. Call them back.
Come with me, Tista.
We won't need the boats. Not yet. We're
going inland.
Bring up that ammunition we left back
there.
We were sent in here, Lieutenant, to
find out what the Reds are hiding. And
that's what we're going to do. That is
Captain Harris's job.
>> Makes sense, Lieutenant. From what I've
seen, it's 20 to 1 that Harris is either
dead or captured. You are proposing that
a handful of us do what a company could
not do.
All right, Lieutenant. Paddle back or
swim. I hope you don't run into any Reds
on the way. And if we should?
Read it.
What's it say on the belt?
Made in Wilmington Arsenal. U.S.A.
We do it your way, or we do not get
enough ammunition. Is that it?
As you might say,
you have the ball in the bat. And the
player don't ever forget that.
Add up the men here in Korea, and we're
10 to 1 to the rest of you.
I congratulate you upon the ease with
which you solved the problem of command.
The men up the stuff, and let's go.
You wait here, Chuck.
Let's go see what's got them so excited.
What the military?
Why is that Baker company hanging on?
Sure. That's Pete Dawson's bulldozer.
You see that Confederate flag?
Baker had time to boogie, too.
Chuck,
go get the platoon.
Get the Greeks here, and tell them to be
quiet coming up.
Not to worry about ammo anymore,
Lieutenant.
These crates are full of it.
We're back in business.
I see him done.
You think it's too much of a risk?
They could do what?
You didn't command.
I would make it a tent.
I can send a couple of my men to shoot
it from each side. I'm happy with it.
And your men stay here.
You hear a grenade go off, come on fast.
We'll surprise them.
I have a blue monkey.
>> [screaming]
>> And New Zealanders part of our lost
patrols.
Chuck,
get Stoney and Bowman around these guys.
I want to talk to them.
Did they get them all together? Sam
wants to talk to them.
Hey, you guys always clean up so fast?
Always. It's a national characteristic.
Especially our bayonets, Sergeant.
And you use them pretty good, too.
The words cannot say how pleased we are
that you think we are worthy.
Quite an interpreter, Malakis, huh?
He can explain even what has been
unspoken.
It would be more difficult to explain
for what purpose. Two of my men are
dead,
and eight wounded badly.
Those crates are loaded with ammunition,
and we need it.
But, look out for booby traps.
If you're in doubt of anything at all,
call an engineer.
Translate that to them.
Bowman, you come with me, and we'll
check the hut.
We'll move on in a couple of hours. What
about my wounded?
We'll hide them in the woods with the
medic. When we find what we're after,
we'll come back for them.
Lieutenant, you do not seem to realize
that we are sitting in the middle of the
Red force,
and that you are demanding that we move
farther and farther away from safety. In
my book, Lieutenant, that's a pretty
good definition of our job.
Heroism like yours is most inspiring.
Perhaps after all I have much to learn
under your command.
Perhaps.
Anything wrong here?
Watch yourself.
You think that's
booby-trapped?
Naturally. Okay.
I won't let a little thing like a booby
trap stand in the way of your smoking.
Move back.
I don't want to bother you, Lieutenant.
It's okay. I can handle it.
I'm no addict, my friend.
If it is booby-trapped, I can do without
it.
I can do without a lot of things.
Better move back.
See?
It wasn't trapped after all.
Corporal,
leave us alone.
You had to neutralize it, didn't you?
Come again? You had to perform in front
of your corporal, just as in a bigger
way you've been performing all along.
Performing?
Dropping a grenade down the hatch of a
tank, knocking out a machine gun alone,
attacking this place.
Hardly calculated risks, private. But
very necessary risks, Lieutenant.
You cannot accept what happened to your
platoon for what it is.
A tragic but unavoidable accident of
war.
What has my platoon got to do with this?
As a Greek American, you blame its loss
on us and on yourself because you
believed in us. Now, because of your
Greek blood, you must prove to everybody
that you are the bravest man in the
world.
Maybe you expect me to bust out with the
Greek national anthem. I expect nothing.
The point is that you did not really
believe in us. And as long as you
mistrust the people you command, you
should not be in command.
Therefore, Lieutenant,
if only on the basis that you are four
Americans to my 21 Greeks, I will take
command.
Don't make book on it, Lieutenant.
Everything all right?
Okay, except I found out something your
pop should have told you.
The reason those veins were clean, these
guys always clean up after a fight.
Right after a fight.
We had them all wrong.
Hey, boss.
This guy's giving us an earful, boss.
After his patrol was bushwhacked, he and
his buddy got away long enough to take a
good look behind that curtain.
They were grabbed coming back. Big
concentration of tanks and ground
troops, sir. It's an amazing
concealment.
Back there, about 3 miles.
Waiting to draw in our attack and smash
our right flank.
Perhaps our taking this place had some
point after all, Lieutenant.
But not the one you intended.
What can I get you, Lieutenant?
You understand the importance of this
information reaching headquarters before
the attack. Why, yes, Lieutenant. Good.
Take another man.
You can choose him yourself.
I do not wish to see your face again if
you fail. Yes, Lieutenant. Dimitri! Halt
it.
You will proceed to the boats. Sergeant,
can you construct
litters for the wounded? Sure, but
carrying litters will never make it. How
about the bulldozer? She runs.
We hook the trailer onto the back end
and put the wounded in the rumble seat.
Hey, how about that, boss?
Sure, she's noisy, but with all the
other vehicles around, maybe they think
it's one of theirs. Kind of a Trojan
horse, huh?
Why not?
Get to work on it right away.
That's an order.
I said that's an order, Sergeant.
You heard him.
Get a lot of mileage out of here.
Lieutenant Akia is ready, sir.
Lieutenant Akia is ready, sir.
How come all of a sudden he takes over?
You running the show, private Stone?
Now, listen. Sam knows what he's doing.
Why should he carry the load for the
whole United Nations? Somebody appoint
him high commissioner or something?
Yeah, but who appointed Akia? Horos from
our red prison camp?
Diko!
Soldier,
nobody appointed anybody anything. We
are alive.
Whether you approve or not.
The book hasn't been written about who's
supposed to run an outfit like this.
I approve the Lieutenant taking over.
At least until a captain shows up.
Halt it.
Are you ready, Sergeant? Whenever you
are, sir.
Vati, menu.
I'm going to get on with this.
Lokia!
What's he telling them?
He feels sorry for us.
Said we shouldn't mind Akia.
Akia comes from the mountain country
where people have
big spleens and drink bitter wine.
Who put their master silence? And me, I
got five of these Americans.
Said we also shouldn't mind how the rest
of his outfit feels towards us. He knows
that Americans are fine men.
Don't let them blow it out of
proportion.
Vati!
When is the maneuver going to be?
He told Akia to get out of here. Go
ahead.
>> We must go back up. We can't,
Lieutenant. This road is too narrow to
turn this thing around.
We can set up a roadblock. It'll give us
time to get the wounded out.
They would contact troops above us,
Paredes, Sergeant. More would descend
upon us.
Headquarters will probably tell us to
throw rocks at it. Bowman.
Never.
Do you see what I see?
Yeah.
Around that turn.
Maybe pause, maybe.
How many six-pounders you got?
Only two, but it's worth a try.
Got a fire you filling in.
What's up? Who gas? Better than throwing
rocks.
Bowman, tell the Lieutenant.
Okay, boss.
An excellent idea. I would not have
thought of it. Of course, I have never
doubted that your Lieutenant is a
military genius.
What is it, Americanos?
Uh, Sergeant.
What did he call it?
Who gas? Yeah, it's crazy gas,
Lieutenant. We used it a lot on the
Burma Road. It was a favorite of the
French. It's a great gag when it works.
They should make the last turn below.
Would you hear a Mexican in this? Okay,
that's good. You ready, Buster?
Fire in the hole and no fools.
Let's go.
That smoke would be deceiving, Sergeant.
They can bulldoze it down there.
We will not be a secret much longer.
To try to reach the river with the
bulldozer would be suicidal now.
And I cannot leave the wounded.
I'm afraid we have come to the end of
the journey.
Soon it will be dark. Then I will ask
Nikos to move us up to that ridge.
We will fight it out there. For how
long?
By morning, that hill will be crawling
with reds.
And how about getting our information
back?
I have decided to send you and your men.
Why us?
Why not send some of your own men?
I find that I am forbidden to deny them
the privilege of staying with their
comrades.
Well, I'm not asking you to save
yourself. It will not be easy to get
through.
First, you will have to evade the enemy,
then you will have to cross the river,
all by 0800 when our offensive begins.
But, perhaps you engineers
can do what mere Greek soldiers cannot.
Are you asking me to perform a miracle?
How you achieve it is up to you.
Thanks.
Tell Nikos to watch that second gear. It
slips.
What are they doing? Putting in a dam?
Underwater bridge. They didn't build
that overnight.
That chance our recon had of spotting
anything.
Sam, the tanks those New Zealanders
talked about.
They bring the tanks down to here.
And they move them across the bridge
right into the general's bed.
Somebody ought to tell him in a hurry.
Maybe you brought a carrier pigeon with
a bulletproof vest.
We did bring boats.
Looks like somebody's got to get wet.
Yeah, all some of them. got to do is to
swim the river with the red sticking
potshots at him. And if he makes it,
he's got a little cross-country run
before breakfast.
You got a better idea, Sergeant?
With the four of us swimming,
one might get there in time.
Well, whatever you say, boss.
Who says he can't send four medals home?
I'll take mine now.
They report that a bunch of surrendered.
They say that Captain Haros
asked the volunteers to surrender.
While the reds were kept busy with them,
Captain Haros slipped through the main
bunch.
They had orders to report back here in
case they escaped.
They say.
Then let's skip the swim. With Haros'
radio, we're sure to get through to
division. Why not a couple of weeks from
now if he shows up alive? We got through
on the bulldozers, didn't we? Nobody can
go as slow as that. Haros will be here
in a minute now.
>> It'll be light soon, then we won't have
a chance. If we're going, let's go.
Okay, let's strip.
We'll wait.
You guys look as if you didn't expect to
see me again. And not just you. Where's
the rest of the platoon? Dead.
I said, where's the rest of the platoon?
Dead.
Captain Haros.
I heard, Lieutenant. I wish I could do
something. I'm very sorry.
The reds slashed our boats. I've got to
use your radio.
Can you get division? No, our
frequency's set for the Greek Brigade.
That'll do. Until now, we have been too
far away even for that. Perhaps from
here.
We have seen much, Lieutenant. Tank,
troops, rocket material moving on
I know how they're going to use it.
Contact from your patrol.
Coordinates with that bridge.
Right there, sir.
Beautiful, Major. They come across and
smack us right here.
With our armor on the wrong flank, we're
mousetrapped right out of the stadium.
Only they forgot a bridge can go two
ways. Tell the general I've got to see
him at once, Sergeant. Get me air
rescue.
Get through to the major and tell him to
find some high spot and stay there. Go
and scour.
Tell him we'll get him out.
>> Right, sir.
Now we had better be moving what is left
of our platoon.
The Greeks will be happy to see us, hey
Lieutenant?
I fear we have brought the enemy with
us, but help is on the way. The
lieutenant has arranged it so. Oh, but I
thought you were going to
>> We got lucky at the beachhead. Captain
Haros arrived with the radio. Then you
did not have to perform
Depends on how you mean it, Lieutenant.
The book hasn't been written about this
kind of an outfit, remember?
Sometimes guys like me have to see
things in print.
Large print.
HEY, SAM! SAM!
HERE THEY COME!
HERE THEY COME!
HEY, HELICOPTER!
HEY, HELICOPTER!
HELICOPTER!
HELICOPTER!
HELICOPTER!
WE GOT NEARLY EVERY EIGHTH LEADER IN
Coriel for you.
Yeah!
YEAH!
>> LAST
ONE ON THE DOUBLE.
HOW MANY MEN HAVE YOU GOT? 10.
MY CAPACITY IS EIGHT. I'LL TAKE YOU ALL.
