Original subtitles

We've withdrawn from the base of St. Marie.

Resident location, vicinity, road junction, Zebra. Still under heavy enemy

pressure. Over.

Like the baseline green.

Wilco out.

Wait a minute.

We're going to pull back about three more miles and regroup. There's a rock

quarry about half a mile up on the road.

A lot of equipment. All civilian stuff.

The Krauts could use it to fix up the road.

Here, fill up on thermite grenades.

Let's go, soldier.

Curry, burn that engine. We'll get the six-pack.

Waste not, want not, Sarge.

All right, down we go.

Combat. Starring Rick Jason.

And Vic Morrow.

Get Dar, Fernando Lamas.

Anything that's got a motor in it, just burn it.

All right, let's go.

You see anything?

No.

K, Joe and Kirby, pull back on the road. Circle that ridge and take a look.

We've got to figure something out. That sniper keeps us pinned down much longer

than half the German army crawling over us.

All right, draw us fire.

Keep your eyes open. Get ready for them.

I am a civilian.

You speak English?

What's your name?

Paul Bertrand.

You always try to kill Americans?

When they try to destroy my equipment, yes.

Your equipment?

I own all of this.

The quarry is mine, the machinery is mine.

Do you hear? Mine.

I have my orders.

Well, your orders are wrong.

This equipment is my property. It has nothing to do with the war.

Except when the crowd's using, huh?

Go on, get on with it.

Now, wait.

Now, again, I tell you, I warn you, you have no right to do this.

No, I just have my orders.

Go on, burn it.

Hold it, Kirby.

Sergeant, this guy just about broke my neck.

You know, Sergeant, for four years I've been with the Maquis, fighting for my

country.

I lose my home, my family, everything.

But I wait.

Oh, yes, I wait.

I wait for the liberators to arrive.

And when they do come, what happens?

They destroy everything I have left. Everything.

I build all this with my own hands. No help.

No.

Spare motor, a part here, a part there. I put it all together.

Yes. I began a future for myself from this mountain.

And now... You don't have any future as long as the Germans are in your country.

The Germans did not destroy my equipment when they were running.

They probably would have if they had the time.

All done?

Let's get out of here.

Yeah. You better leave with us.

I will stay right here.

I'm gonna hang on to your rifle.

Just in case you start sniping at us again.

Let's go.

Thousand!

I will not forget what you've done here today.

He was right there.

It was that night.

How bad, Doc?

Well, he's not going to walk out of here.

Well, nobody's going to walk out of here. There's a dozen crowds out there.

American!

I call on you to surrender!

Doc, can we carry him on a stretcher?

Well, not until I stop the bleeding and make a splint. And then we've got to

find something to make a stretcher.

American, do you hear me?

We're being paid, Sarge.

Sarge, the opposition is desperate.

And so is yours.

Me? No, I'm a civilian.

I don't even have a gun anymore, remember?

But you, you and your men would be wiser to surrender.

I'm not going to surrender.

And I'm not going to forget because of you we just got pinned down.

Americans, you have no chance!

Do you surrender?

You tell him now.

You tell me.

Sergeant, as soon as that bloke who came to this door will not be destroyed.

Suppose I try to flank the machine gun.

Get them to divide their fire.

Well, no man's land out there.

I'll go.

Kirby and I will get it covered.

That's all in pretty good, Sarge.

As I said before, Sergeant, you better surrender.

I don't know how to use it. Keep your mouth shut.

How's he doing, Doc?

Pretty bad.

think about, Sarge?

Maybe there's another way out of here.

Huh? Maybe we can drive out in this bulldozer.

Well, you're kidding.

Why? It's a bulldozer.

It'd pick us off like flies.

And if we raise that blade for protection, figure out some armor to put

on the driver's seat.

Sarge, you're wasting your breath. I smashed this engine already.

Maybe we can fix it.

Well, with what?

Listen, you said you built a lot of this equipment.

There must be some spare parts lying around here, something to get this thing

going again.

Sergeant, do I understand you?

You mean you come here and you held me at gunpoint, destroyed my equipment, and

now you want me to fix it so that you can save your life, huh?

That's right.

Well, you're either the biggest fool in the world or you think I am.

The answer is no.

Because it can't be fixed?

Because I don't want to fix it.

Because I don't want to help you.

Kirby.

You think you can fix it?

Sergeant, I busted this carburetor up and the throttle linkage is bad too.

What about a car wearing linkage? Do you have it?

Listen, even if you could repair it, you have no time.

Soon the Germans will be here with the heavy armor.

Yeah, they'll blast you and me and my machines out of here.

Now a spare motor I can repair, yes.

Maybe I can replace.

But those big guns on the German tanks, they blow up everything to pieces.

Pieces! There'll be nothing left.

Surrender, Sergeant.

Surrender.

We're not going to get nothing out of him.

Sergeant, there'll be some parts in that truck over there if it's not burned

through.

Yeah.

And the shark.

There are also many boxes of dynamite.

If you go in there, one straight bullet... We'll risk it.

Now listen.

Listen, my supplies are there. My tools.

Engine parts.

I'll lose everything. Besides, the Germans will be here before you're

finished.

Would I have any reports of any German arm around here?

It's worth a try, Serge.

I'll go for the stuff.

I'll go with you, Lil' John. Two's better than one.

All right, Casey, now we'll give you cover.

Hey, Kirby!

Just a second. Just a second.

Where'd

they

come from?

They moved the machine gun.

Oh, it's tight.

Yeah, make it back.

The crowd's got a line on them with their machine gun.

How do we help them, Sarge?

about grenades.

Never get close enough, they'd cut you to ribbons.

Sergeant, after four years of fighting, I'm lucky enough to come back and find

everything intact.

Now you want to destroy it, needlessly.

You cannot win this fight.

You cannot.

Before this day is done, this man will be dead and we'll have nothing left,

because you are stubborn.

Man lies dying next to a machine all you can think about is a machine The

machines is all I've got

Doc

how is he you need the hospital so hard you need the doctor Another reason to

surrender the Germans must have doctors with him

the way we came. Why not this year?

I wonder if we could throw it over to him.

Might be worth a try.

Did you ever play much baseball?

I used to have a pretty good arm.

Well, you're it.

Okay. Here, use this.

Yeah, it's not the right size with it Yeah,

yeah, I think so okay shoulders

Now what?

I'm gonna head for that wagon load of steel.

Once I draw the fire, you take off of that welding rig and drag it back in

here.

That's a long run.

Only if I don't make it.

I'll be there to cover you.

Thank you so much. Come.

Racing rods in that shack over there?

Yeah.

Very lucky, Sergeant.

Takes more than luck.

This what you want, Jimmy?

Yeah. Yes, Sergeant, I'll do just fine.

Okay, you take care of the motor.

The rest of us will start bringing those steel plates.

Hans! What are they doing there?

No idea.

Erik!

You and Hans go over the mountain from the back and try to catch him from the

back. Go!

What are you doing there?

Doctor.

They're just waiting for one of us to make a move.

Give me cover.

You're going to go get him?

That's right.

Why? Why risk your life for him?

Because he's bleeding. Now give me cover, all of you.

How bad is he, Doc?

Not good.

Sir Sergeant.

You're a fool.

You think... You think this will change anything?

It changes things, all right.

I have two wounded to worry about instead of one.

A complicated man.

Not complicated at all. He just knows the difference between right and wrong,

that's all.

But I... I didn't ask him to risk his life. Why should he?

You know, the same brand of bullets was coming at all of us.

You know what your trouble is?

You don't know your friends from your enemies.

Sarge, we ain't gonna know that till we try to start this thing up.

You ever run one of these things before?

I can try.

Joe?

The sergeant, I... Thank you.

I'll save it.

Just tell me how to get that bulldozer started.

I will drive it.

You mean you want to help us?

Yes, I do.

Gentlemen, your courage is contagious.

You're pretty badly torn up to drive.

The old man's wound, you'll never believe it there.

Now, do you want it to help you or not?

We put Lincoln up on the driver's platform.

No.

Doug.

Doug, how do we do it?

Help me.

Go, John.

Take cover behind this bulldozer just like it was a tank. Let's go.

All right.

I'd like to start this thing now. Let's get up.

Right here, come on.

Sergeant,

you all right?

Okay, Sarge.

How about you? You all right?

I'll make it.

Okay, we better pull out of here before those Krauts come back with some armor

and pin us down with your machinery again.

What does it matter?

Maybe we can make a big cannon out of the steam shovel and blow them all up,

eh?

Come on, let's go home.
