All language subtitles for Combat! S02E30 - Command

Final day of patrol all night. What a
way to fight a war.

I think it'll pay, Jasper and Batson.

Make up that rifle, soldier.

Yes, sir. Don't you know better than a
dragon in the dirt?

What's your name?

Kirby, sir. You have to depend on that
rifle. Treat it with respect.

Yes, sir.

You!

This area is classified as a combat
zone. Put your helmet on and keep it on.

Yes, sir.

As you were.

And keep that pot on.

What was that?

Hey, where's the sergeant?

He's with the lieutenant over there.

Hey, how you doing, Lieutenant?

How are you?

Medics have flamed me back to England
for a week of treatment.

Hey, that's fine, Lieutenant. Hey, we'll
be able to knock off till you get back,

huh?

They already assigned a replacement
officer for the platoon.

What do we get, one of them 90 -day
wonders?

No, you guys get lucky.

Lieutenant Douglas, lots of combat
experience.

Here he is.

Starring Rick Morrow and

Rick Jason.

Our Air Force has knocked out all the
standing bridges across the river.

But S2 just received word that the
Germans have built a pontoon bridge two

ago somewhere in this area.

Once our offensive starts, that bridge
is their only escape route out of this

sector. Our job is to destroy it before
0700 tomorrow.

We will make contact with a French
underground worker by the name of

Bayard here.

He'll guide us to the bridge.

We'll maintain radio silence. We will
not engage the enemy except in self

-defense or to avoid capture.

Any questions?

Do we take a demolition man with us,
Lieutenant?

There's none available, but we'll make
out.

Bayard will be a big help. He's
experienced.

I've worked with him before.

Oh, sir.

About that bridge.

Why can't the flyboys knock that out?

Weather. They're sucked in back at their
airfield.

Now, it's a dangerous mission.

But obey orders, do exactly as you're
told, and we'll bring it off.

Sergeant, I want deer collected, every
man cleaned up and shaved, ready to

in 20 minutes.

Lieutenant Hotshaw will be ready in a
half hour. Can the men wait long enough

have it?

Collect C -rations.

We'll be down the way.

Leave all personal effects with the
platoon, Sergeant.

Sergeant, is he hidden?

What do the crowds care if I'm carrying
a dead John Lennon? Now, is that

military information?

I don't care, but we do as you told.

I don't know.

Maybe we'll be better off with a 90 -day
wonder.

You have a choice.

He acts like if we took ten extra
minutes to get some hot chow, the whole

would bog down.

It's more important we get prettied up
and shaved for the mission.

You get yourself a facial wound, you're
going to wind up making him.

Now look, we know the reason for the
shave every day rule, but that don't

this garbage taste no better, does it?

All right, knock it off.

This area is supposed to be clear for
another three miles, but don't count up.

Keep your eyes open and your voices
down.

Remember, you're not out for a stroll.

This way, Sergeant.

We'll take a break before we move into
one of the territories, Sergeant.

That's the word.

Yes, sir.

Take five.

That's crop territory up ahead, so keep
it down, huh?

How long have you been in the E .T. all
the time?

Since Omaha Beach.

Same here.

What about the way you were before you
joined us, sir?

I suggest we skip the socializing,
Sergeant.

Pay attention to our mission.

Yes, sir.

What you gotta pin up?

Only the very best.

Yeah, she's a doll.

A real doll.

That's my daughter, Kathy.

My wife took that picture on her third
birthday.

I just got it in the mail.

Sure is a beauty.

Don't look nothing like you, though,
Adams.

You said it.

What was that all about?

It was a picture of his kid.

You know, a fellow ought to be married.

There's two schools of thought as far as
that's concerned.

At least a fellow ought to have a girl
of his own.

Yeah, at least one.

There's this girl back home, next farm
from us.

I'd ask her to wait for me.

I knew how.

Are you kidding?

Look, if it's words you need, I'm just
the guy that can supply them for you.

I mean it.

I'll write you a letter. I'll guarantee
we'll put your head in the matrimonial

noose. Think you could, Kirby? Well,
there's nothing to it. Look, it's

your head out of the noose that's hard.

I suggest

you put your mind to this mission.

Now he's telling us what to talk about.

What's he got against dames?

What's that?

It's a picture of my little girl,
Lieutenant.

I gave an order all personal effects
would be left behind.

Burn it.

Wait a minute, Lieutenant. The Krauts
can't get any information from that

picture.

I said burn it.

Adams, you do what the lieutenant says.

Move out in two minutes, Sergeant.

Get ready to move out.

What's the

matter,

Sergeant? You think I was unfair to
Adams?

I read the book, Lieutenant. They gave
it to me when they gave me my stripes.

And the book says there's more than one
way to give an order.

You don't like the way I give orders.

That's right, Lieutenant.

These are all good men.

They know their jobs.

They waste a lot of time talking instead
of keeping their minds on this mission.

If you want me to stop the men from
talking, Lieutenant, give me the order.

I didn't say that.

All right, as long as the men are able
to talk, it's not my job to tell them

what to talk about.

That's enough, Sergeant.

Get them started.

Yes, sir.

All right, move out!

I'll check it out.

Go with the lieutenant.

Stay here.

Wait for my signal.

What's with him, Sarge? He doesn't trust
us, huh?

He's a regular one -man army.

We just came along for the walk.

Don't matter to me if he sticks his neck
out.

Sure would like to be able to read him
off.

Look, Adams, you know what he's doing.

He's going by the book.

I guess if the crowds get their hands on
that picture, they might find some way

of using it against you.

So, all right.

So why did he have to stomp the ashes
into the ground like he enjoyed it?

I don't know.

Let's try to forget it, huh?

Hey, they got it boxed in.

Now I'll be glad to see it.

Kirby, you're on me. Maybe we get behind
that machine gunner up there.

The rest of you give us a couple of
minutes and then pour it in.

Adam, Bronson, try to work your way up
there and get that sniper.

Go on, move out.

Your Honor, Lieutenant, why didn't you
obey orders?

What orders?

Why didn't you stay where I left you?

I had no choice. They had us spotted.

If we hadn't moved in, they would have
cut you apart.

I had cover, Sergeant. I could have
crawled out of their range.

I don't know about that, Lieutenant.

Two men are dead because you disobeyed
my orders. You know about that,

Get them undercover, the Germans, too.

Well, I think we're coming through the
road. Hey, be careful. We ain't supposed

to think, remember?

I wish Andy were here.

Well, Lieutenant Hanley isn't here.

Hey, Lieutenant wants us.

Is that our road, Lieutenant?

Got a mile up that road to Bayard's
place, but it's open country all the

There's no cover once we get out of
these woods.

From now on, I want every man on the
ball.

We're too close to our objective for any
more mistakes.

Is that understood?

I'm sorry, Lieutenant. I didn't think.

Okay, come on. Let's go.

They're going our way. They can spot us.

We'll have to go over the hill and take
the long way around.

Lieutenant, when they pass us, we can
jump and we can take them without firing

shot.

Our orders are to avoid combat,
Sergeant.

We had to shoot and bring every crowd in
the area down.

Lieutenant, if we climb those hills,
it's going to eat up a lot of time.

Well, let them go by.

Yes, sir.

Hopefully we can find a few girls
tonight.

We can find a few.

I hope so.

Have you heard anything?

Nothing.

Come on, let's go on.

That was nothing.

We could have taken those crowds easy,
Todd.

Well, Todd doesn't want us to do
anything the easy way.

What is it, Sergeant?

Lieutenant, I know it's not easy to take
over a platoon.

It takes time to get another man. No
problem, Sergeant.

Men, obey orders. We'll get along fine.

You better watch it, Kirby. You could
draw a general court for that.

I think it's okay. I just twisted it, I
guess.

Let's see if you can stand on it. Come
on.

Yeah, sorry.

Oh, Sergeant.

Kirby hurt his ankle.

The men are beat. How about a break,
Lieutenant?

They can rest at Bayard's place. It's
just over this hill.

Come on, put your arm around me.

Don't worry.

Why should they be?

They ain't got to blow up no bridge in
enemy territory.

A bridge you can't even reach.

Yeah, it was a long climb to get
nowhere.

Howard, stay here. Watch below. Yes,
sir.

Let's go.

Look around.

Keep guards posted.

Giver, look at the flank.

Cage, give your eye on Lieutenant.

He may need some help.

Hey, Cage.

If you help him, make sure he asks you
first.

Don't you worry.

This mission is getting to be a real
mess.

I used to think I was pretty good at
soldiering, but for the first time since

-Day, I ain't so sure of myself no more.

We'll be okay, Kirby. Let me take a look
at that angle.

Oh, it's okay, Sarge.

No matter how you look at it, we've got
to walk back.

Come on now, let me take a look at it.

I think you've got a bad sprain.

What do you think of that, Lieutenant?

If you ask me, he's about to be a dead
hero.

You might even have to fix him up with a
posthumous metal or something.

Hold on now.

He's coming back.

We can make it that way. It's longer,
but there's enough cover. We gotta move

fast. Wait a minute, Lieutenant. Kirby's
got a bad ankle here.

That's okay, Sarge.

I can make it.

Let's go.

All right, move out.

Now he wants us to run.

Hold it, Kirby.

Rush, rush.

Nothing but rush.

I think I got armed like a gorilla, huh,
Kirby?

It's a good thing you didn't wait for
orders to give me a hand. What is that

supposed to mean, soldier?

It was just thanking Little John for
giving him a hand, Lieutenant.

He can speak for himself, Sergeant.

Yes, sir.

That's just what I was doing.

Thanking Little John for giving me a
hand.

We're ready to move out in ten minutes,
Lieutenant.

Make it five.

Easy.

Maybe Kirby should have asked the
Lieutenant's permission before he banged

his ankle. Yeah.

Lieutenant, I want to talk to you about
the men.

What about them?

I tried to tell you before, Lieutenant,
these men are good.

They're experienced. They've been here
since Omaha Beach.

And they want to do their jobs, but they
can't because you keep pushing them off

balance. Off balance?

That's right, Lieutenant.

I don't know what's eating you, but you
make the men jumpy.

They keep falling off their feet like
they're green recruits.

Then it's time they acted like front
-line soldiers.

Then treat them like front -line
soldiers.

Depend on them. Trust them.

I never said I didn't trust them.

All right, Lieutenant, this has got
nothing to do with trust and what is it.

It's got to be something.

We'll get along a lot better, Sergeant,
if you just mind your own business.

That's just what I'm doing, Lieutenant.

All set, sir.

Good. We'll finish this mission yet.

I'll check it.

Ist der Franzose tot?

Hast du ihn?

Ich denke, er ist tot.

Dann geh rein. Ich denke, er lebt noch.

Gut.

Check the house.

Bayard.

Bayard.

The attendance.

It's been a long time since Montchartel.

They are dead.

No, we'll never know where that bridge
is.

I'll tell you something else.

This is the same crowd patrol that
caused us to take the long way around.

Keep a lookout.

What do we do now? Look for the bridge
ourselves?

Lieutenant, we can find the river and
follow it till we get to the bridge.

We haven't got that much time.

These shots are probably heard by every
crowd in the area. We could be

outnumbered 100 to 1. We don't even know
which way to move along the riverbank,

upstream or down.

Hey, Sergeant.

Lieutenant. There's an old man in here
still alive.

Hey.

He's Antoine Bayard's father.

Antoine went out to look for us because
we were so late.

While he was gone, the crowd came,
waited for him.

He says he doesn't know what made the
crowd suspicious.

He'll be all right, Sarge. It's just a
flesh wound.

Oh, wait.

He wants to know if we brought the
explosive for the new bridge. Where is

bridge?

Oh, a kilometer from here.

It's less than half a mile from here.

Ask him how big a force is guarding the
bridge.

Ecoutez, vous savez exactement combien
de centimètres au pont?

Je ne sais pas combien, mais il est très
bien gardé.

He doesn't know exactly, but it's well
guarded.

Smart!

Allez, cachez -vous!

There's a car coming!

We're out!

Inside on the double!

Double five!

Don't get Trigger happy. They may not
come in.

It says they're calling the bridge for
reinforcement.

Well, that gives us maybe ten minutes.

We're heading back. Let's get out.

We're not going to charge for the
bridge? How can we? The Krauts know

here. We know where the bridge is. The
flyboys will take care of it first thing

in the morning. What if they don't get
off the ground?

Look, I already lost two men on this
mission. I can lose six more if we stay.

If we get wiped out, I won't let that
happen again.

Listen to me, Luke.

Again?

That's it, Mount Chateau.

Lieutenant, I've been looking for
answers all day long. Now I finally got

A whole platoon was wiped out of Mount
Chateau.

It was your platoon.

How do you know about that?

Everybody knows about what happened
there.

About how a platoon took on and
destroyed a whole crowd company.

About the officer.

Who was left for dead with his men.

When the medics finally found him, he
was still shouting orders to them.

You know, Sergeant, I had to sit down
and write 31 letters home to the wives

mothers. I don't want to write any more
letters. I can't.

And that's why you take all the risks
yourself, to protect your men.

Lieutenant, if we blow this bridge, we
might lose some men, but if we don't,

the crowds use it as a way to get out of
that pocket.

They might cut through the whole
division.

If they do, how many officers are going
to write how many letters?

Sounds like trucks coming down the road.

Lieutenant.

Lieutenant, it's getting dark.

If those reinforcements were pulled from
the bridge, it might be easier to get

at.

Do you have a hand on C -3?

Yes, sir.

Now get going.

We'll hold out here as long as we can.

We'll try to run everyone the hell back
of here.

Good luck.

Thank you, sir.

um oh

Go into the barn and throw the grenade
into the house.

Thank you.

Quick, blow!

As they're going back to the bridge,
Lieutenant.

Let's run to the bridge.

Okay, Lieutenant.

No.

I'll get some curry.

Thanks.

Yes, sir.

Take the point.

Yes, Lieutenant.

Little John, the old man.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.
