Still waiting for the company commander, Sarge.

Hold it.

King 6 is the white rug.

Mission accomplished.

Destroyed half-track with affinity X-ray yoke.

Waiting rendezvous with King 2, over.

Roger, out.

I thought Tim and Barker would be back by now, Lieutenant.

So did I.

Give him a couple more minutes.

The Saunders squad must have rendezvoused with McGowan by now.

We can pick up the others. Let's head back.

Forward, Lieutenant.

You haven't a chance. You're surrounded.

Brother's gun forward.

Welcome, Lieutenant.

You're my third cat of the day.

You may put your hands down, Lieutenant.

My name is Captain Reichardt.

Perhaps you've heard of me.

Yeah, I've heard of you.

And your methods. You must understand, Lieutenant.

Reichardt's raiders are interested only in American officers.

Enlisted men can never give us reliable information.

You do not wish a cigarette?

May I have your map, please?

I hope to collect more American officers before this day is over.

Lieutenant, if you please.

My men will take you to join your fellow officers. You will be very comfortable

there until this evening.

Then I will join you for the ride back to our line.

Auf Wiedersehen.

Thank you.

And

Vic Morrow

It's Tim calling. I can hardly hear him. I think he's hurt.

King 2, this is White Rock, over.

King 2, this is White Rock, over.

Proud roadblock.

Near Hill 300.

Rikers, Raiders.

Captured Hanley.

It's him to hear me.

I think this radar's got the lieutenant.

Let's go.

Gage, Kirby, check out the area. Clear this road.

How is he, Doc?

Not too good.

Tim.

Yeah, Johnny?

You're gonna be okay. You know that, don't you?

Sure.

Are you positive it was Captain Reichardt?

He told Lieutenant Hanley that's who he was.

He speaks English, brother.

Like a limey.

It was the roadblock that stopped us.

They gunned down Barker and me from the woods.

We never had a chance.

Reichardt's got more of our officers stashed away somewhere.

He sent Lieutenant Hanley off in a Jerry Jeep.

and he and his men left in a troop carrier to get more prisoners.

Just officers.

He's an officer I'd like to get my hands on.

You know where they were taking Lieutenant Henry?

I couldn't be too far away.

Racket said he'd be back before night to pick him up.

Which way to go, John?

We couldn't have done him much good even if we'd gotten him to a hospital.

How about it?

Tim said that way.

Give Doc a hand.

King 2, this is White Rook.

King 2, this is White Rook.

Over.

I can't make contact, Sarge.

Spur of these hills will call in later.

A German troop carrier had a mine.

Their SS men probably belonged to Reichardt. Well, what are we waiting

for? Just take it easy.

Savoia, take McGowan's men and the weapons carrier around the back of the

building. Don't open up until I do. You got it? Yeah.

McGowan, you're on me.

Look out, radio.

White Pawn, this is White Rook, over.

White Pawn, this is White Rook, over.

This is White Pawn, over.

Bob, tell them to surrender. Tell them they can't get out.

Let them surrender the way they let Tim and Barker surrender.

Hold one.

The Germans can't tell us where Lieutenant Hanley is.

Bob, tell them.

Get up!

It help kind of chance the heroes to come in.

Get up!

It help kind of chance the heroes to come in.

Should we fire, Sarge?

Well, how long you gonna give them before you let them get out?

You tell them if they don't come out.

We're going to open up again. When you hear us, you open up.

Hold it, Bob.

Hold your fire.

let's move in

Well, tell them to keep their hands up. Hand in the hole!

Where's Riker?

Where's Captain Riker, I ask you?

Where's Reichardt?

There's Toad.

He's dead in the building.

We're going to check it out.

Gage.

Keep the hands up.

They're in there, but in cup.

Spread them out along the fence.

Strip them down and search them.

He's dead.

It went too easy.

All this one's alive.

It's pretty badly wounded.

How'd that thing go down?

There's a wounded man inside.

Captain is dead, all right.

It went too easy.

It went too easy.

All right, forget it.

Our job is to find Lieutenant Hanley. Put those weapons in the carrier.

Ask him where our officers are being held.

Where were the American officers held?

I don't know.

Our captain was the only one who knew the place.

He doesn't know. Only their officers knew the place.

He doesn't know.

Only their officer knew the place.

He

doesn't

know. Only their officer knew the place.

Those are the exact words?

Yeah.

All three of them give you exactly the same answer, right? Same song, same

chorus, all three.

All right, let's ask the wounded man.

take him prisoner. We'll exchange him for our officers if he tells us where

they are.

I'll

tell

you.

Exactly the same answer as the other ones outside, right?

That's right.

Did you find out anything?

Yeah.

Somebody rehearsed them real good.

Everyone of them gave exactly the same answer.

They don't know why Lieutenant Hanley is only their officer now.

He's dead.

Oh, he caught a chunk of steel.

Could it be like a... like a shrapnel from a landmine?

Yeah, or probably got it when the vehicle blew up.

This can't be kept from Reichardt.

This man must have been dying when they brought him in here.

Oh, didn't we see an officer give orders and running things out there?

Not this guy, not with a wound like that.

I don't miss the man out there.

It's really Captain Reichardt.

The racket's alive.

Hide him behind that guy's uniform?

I don't see why he'd want to hide his rank, though. If I was going to a POW

camp, I'd sure want to know I was an officer.

Not if you were Reichardt.

He may be right, but his reputation is sure to give him a rough time.

They'll have to wait their turn. I'll get them first.

Barker and Tim were in my squad. They're my men.

I'll find out who he is.

I'll take one of those Krauts and I'll just beat it out of them. All right,

take it easy. None of those Krauts out there are going to put their finger on

Reichardt. So what are you going to do? Are you going to sit around here and

wait until they take Hanley back behind enemy lines?

No, I'm not going to wait. I'm going to find out who Reichardt is. How?

I don't know yet.

The only thing we have to go on is that Reichardt speaks English.

At attention.

In eine Reihe. Eintreten.

Stuhl gestanden.

Baum.

Rank and serial number.

Name, rank und Erkennungsnummer. Manfred Schulz, Soldat.

Erkennungsnummer 18967745.

Name, rank, and account number.

Hermann Krauss.

Soldat. Number 1-7-4-5-9-9-7-3.

Dreadnought.

All right, if I could now talk fast and in English. I speak English, too.

Captain Reichardt handpicked his men.

We're all specially trained as infiltrators and saboteurs.

Naturally, we speak English.

We didn't try to hide it.

We said nothing because you didn't ask us.

That ain't funny, Kraus.

All right, get back. I'll get the truth out of him. I said get back!

I say it's a sergeant.

He jumped in awful fast to take the other guy off the hook.

Well, he's a sergeant. Maybe he's just taking care of his men.

Yeah.

Like you, Saunders.

What about the corporal there? He spoke good English. He kept right up with the

sergeant, didn't he?

Yeah, they're all trying to protect their captain while the real Reichardt

keeps his mouth shut.

Look, let's stop the playing around.

This is the only thing that'll work.

We're running against the clock, Sarge.

If the lieutenant gets out of the area, we won't be able to help him.

Tom.

If the captain's better educated, he'll be able to tell my speech.

I'm not sure I can give it a try.

Sarge. That wounded man's conscious again, but I don't know for how long.

I'll talk to him.

What was that going to do? You're just wasting time, Saunders.

I tell you, Saunders don't know what he's doing.

Right off the bat, Saunders knows what he's doing.

Feeling better?

That's all right. I know all records ready to speak English. Your corporal

told us.

Doc told me that the medicine he gave you helped.

Thank you.

I feel better.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

I'm not afraid of him.

He's a good man.

I want to know where our offices are being held.

If you tell me, I'll make sure that we send you back.

He's out again.

maybe he can get him to talk.

You better find another way, Sarge. I don't think he's going to do much

talking even if he wants to.

Well?

Found anything?

They weren't kidding when they said they were hand-picked.

They all talk like university students.

How'd you make out with your prized pupil inside?

I suppose he broke down and told you everything, huh?

Passed out again.

Look, Saunders, what's all this go-away-the-book stuff? You want to find

Hanley, or don't you?

You know what they'd do if they were holding the guns?

They'd blow our brains out.

All right.

I'll leave it up to you guys.

Sure, Saunders wears a stripe, so from my door, they just... Decorate his

sleeves.

I'll tell you how I'd run the show.

Just take a look at him.

SS Superman, huh?

Nothing can scare him, huh?

Well, I'm not going to scare him.

I do it their way.

I start shooting them up one at a time.

I make the others watch.

They'll talk.

Believe me, they'll talk.

All right, McGowan.

Like you said, we'll try it their way.

When I put on this uniform, I was taught to go by a certain book of rules.

But you're forcing me to throw away that book.

Yeah, the corporal's right.

That's the only kind of language you understand.

Now, I don't care anymore which one of you is Captain Reichardt.

All I want to know is one thing.

Where are our offices being held?

Where are our offices being held?

I don't know.

You inside, one by one, I'm going to ask you the same question.

And I'm going to give you 30 seconds.

And if you give me the same answer, you're going to get a bullet in your

head.

Sir, you can't... Doc, you keep your mouth shut.

If you do this thing, sergeant, it will be in direct violation of the Geneva

Convention.

Geneva Convention to you is just a scrap of paper.

I repeat, you are in violation of the Geneva Convention.

You're going to give our men a chance to surrender. Well, I'm going to give you a

chance. I'll give you all a chance.

Thirty seconds.

Cage.

Dodge.

Inside, that's an order.

McGon?

They tried, but you know what to do.

You have 30 seconds to tell me what I want to know.

20 seconds.

Fifteen seconds.

We got on that.

Captain Reichardt.

Step forward.

You are very clever, Sergeant.

Even the best trained men will turn to their leader under stress.

Now that you know who I am, what can you do about it?

I know what to do about it.

So do I.

Let's talk business.

Business? Psychology tricks won't work on me, Sergeant.

No, no tricks. I want to make a deal.

You tell me we're holding the American officers and I'll get permission to

exchange you for them.

You underestimate my value, Sergeant. Your superiors would never consent to

such a trade.

It's worth a try.

I'll call in.

I assume my man inside is still alive and unharmed.

That's right.

Kirby, Cage, bring him out.

Nice. Radio.

You mean it was all a gag?

You couldn't go through with it, huh?

Had to go soft.

No guts.

I just wanted that cat to make a chop on you.

Interesting contrast between your sergeant and your corporal.

Yeah. That's where your luck comes in, Captain.

Your superior said no?

Can't reach headquarters because of the hills.

We'll drive to higher ground. Kirby, you're on me.

to you, Captain.

You're sure now to operate.

I don't know what you mean.

I'm sure you do.

You just finagled your own release.

The offer of prisoner exchange was made by your sergeant.

Yeah, that's right, it was.

Because you had the arm on him. You had him over a barrel.

Take it easy, Mac. The sergeant had everything under control. Don't worry,

sir. Don't worry.

Tell me something, Captain. What happens if our brass refuses some of this offer?

What happens if they won't exchange you for Hammy?

I prefer to talk to your sergeant about that, Paul.

Well, I prefer you talk to me. Now get in that house.

I don't care what Saunders said. Saunders ain't here, and I'm the only

two sniper in the bunch. That puts me in charge.

Yeah, but you've got no right. I get every right.

If I want to question a prisoner, I get every right to do it, and I don't need

any advice from any of you. Now move.

I'm not going to let you shoot a man in cold blood.

All right, Doc. Keep it.

I don't need it anyway.

Like I told you, I'm just going to question him. And he's going to tell me

where Hanley is. Now, inside.

McGowan.

You're asking for a court-martial.

It'll be a pleasure.

go in there before he kills Reichardt.

Doc, wait.

That's worked.

Must have killed you or let Reichardt get away.

Almost.

His shoe knows his judo.

You all right?

Yeah. You feel okay, Jim?

Yeah, he's mine in the store.

He's out in the open.

Wonder why he left the trees.

He's on to us.

He knows we let him go.

Well, what are we going to do?

Play it his way right out in the open.

Let him see us?

That's right.

Oh, we lost him.

You won't let us lose him?

Hold on, Sarge. He took the fork to the left here.

Yeah, I saw him.

We're gonna go straight ahead. Kirby, stay close enough to him that he knows

he's being followed. After a while, let him lose you and head right back to the

farmhouse.

What for?

Well, he knows we're on his tail.

He's heading east.

So I figure he's got Hanley's staff somewhere to the west.

You got it?

I sure hope you're right, Sarge.

Yeah, so am I.

No houses, no nothing.

How much farther do we go?

Well, he has to be stationed alone here somewhere. We'll just have to keep

looking.

What if it gets dark before he comes?

We'll take her along the side of the road and wait for Rock Hot to come along

and show us the way.

What took you so long?

I had to wait for Ryker to show us the way.

You got him outside?

He'll be along any minute.

You pretty sure of that?

Yeah, we are, Lieutenant.

In fact, it's got his reputation to think of.

to take your life this time, drop it.

I underestimated you, Sergeant.

It was stupid of me.

I am up.

all the time.

All right, let's go.
