I'm from a farm near Hutchinson, Kansas. It's really close to the haven.

But you wouldn't know about that.

It's a great country, though. It's right in the middle of the wheat fields and

everything.

I was going to school at KU when I joined up.

She's the reason why I got mixed up in this war.

We had a fight, and after I enlisted, she forgave me just as I thought she

would, but...

I just didn't have enough sense to look forward and realize that it wouldn't do

me any good.

I'm here and she's back in Kansas.

The French underground has known many Americans.

Now tell me, Lieutenant Usher, do you feel confident that you can make them

believe you are an American?

I do, sir.

The research has been meticulous.

Good. I cannot impress upon you too strongly the importance of your mission.

Names, places, any information concerning the French underground. We

must stop the sabotage and harassment, particularly now, with our counter

-offense starting in three days.

Our own people have been alerted, sir?

Yes.

Temporarily, we pulled them out of the Boussac area.

And the French will have every opportunity to rescue you.

I understand, sir.

Get in as close to Boussac as possible.

Well, how much further is it, Lieutenant?

About a mile to Boussac.

Come on, let's go. We'll be late. Well, if they're so smart as intelligence, why

don't they figure out a way to get their own men back once in a while?

They did.

Combat. Starring Rick Jason.

And Vic Morrow.

Dakota. Sorry we're late. My name's Stanley.

Captain Thorpe.

Where are the others? There were supposed to be three of you.

The other two got it last night.

Oh, sorry.

We brought you a change of clothes. Banning.

Give the captain his uniform.

Let's move into the woods.

See any Germans?

Oh, a few patrols along the way.

None in the immediate vicinity.

It's one of ours.

Yeah, he's got a jury turn on him, too.

Let's go.

Get the shoe out of sight.

Are you all right, Lieutenant?

I think so. I twisted my ankle.

You're lucky we were around here.

Yes, I... I didn't know I was anywhere near our lines.

You're not.

You're eight miles into German territory.

Oh.

I'm Lieutenant Escher.

This is Captain Thorpe.

Captain?

I'm Hanley.

Come on, let's get going.

Let's go.

How bad is it?

We're going to have to make time, Lieutenant.

And all I'd do is slow you down.

People in the village must have seen me bail out.

Why don't I just hide in the woods until the underground comes after me?

Captain?

He's right, Henley.

Banning. Help the Lieutenant into the woods.

You're sorry about this, Lieutenant.

No, the captain's right.

Right or wrong, you can't argue with a captain of intelligence.

Intelligence?

I thought he was your company commander.

Oh, no.

No, no, no, no. We just committed to pick him up.

He must have been on a tough mission.

He lost two of his men last night.

That's rough.

I hope they got what they came after.

They must have. Boy, he's sure in a sweat to get home.

Oh, hey, let me try it alone for a minute, huh?

Yeah, it's loosening up, yeah.

A little exercise, it'll be all right.

Yeah, hey, you're doing all right, sir. Sure.

Looks like I'm going to go along with you after all.

How you doing?

I'll make it all right.

Annie, give him a hand.

Sorry, we have to make time.

Fight him!

Gage, check him.

How is he, sir?

Pretty bad. How are the others?

Banning is dead.

Lieutenant Asher's got a bad wound in the head.

He's hard cold. Lieutenant.

We are the resistance.

We saw the plane shut down and we are looking for the pilot.

He's down there, wounded.

Morbosh will be coming.

You should get out of here.

We can't get anywhere very fast with two wounded men.

My men will help you.

Where are you going to take us?

There is a monastery near here.

The monks will hide you.

Thank you for your blessing.

We've been attacked here at the American Spade.

We have a similar death penalty. You can't go far from here.

Come on.

You five go down there.

The rest go to the village and you three come with me.

Come on.

Faites les entrer.

Hey, take it easy, Luca.

You're gonna be okay.

Bullet just knocked out, that's all.

I thought the Krauts had us for sure.

So did I for a while.

Where are we?

Monastery. The Frenchman saw your plane shot down.

They're looking for you in there, the firefight.

They brought us here.

French, uh, resistance?

Yeah.

I'd like to meet him.

Mr. Gauthier? Yes.

Lieutenant Asher.

Thank you, Gauthier.

Thank you for your help.

We fight at the same war, Lieutenant.

We must go now.

We'll be back for you when it's dark.

We'll be ready.

How about the others?

Banning's dead.

Captain Thorpe's in pretty bad shape.

across the gate.

Stand up, all together!

Tell them to stand up.

Come, let's go.

Okay.

Les Allemands fuient hors la maison.

Restez dans cette chambre.

Je vais revenir quand ils sont allant.

The guards are looking all over the monastery, Lieutenant.

Just stay in the room until he gets back.

Merci, mon père.

You want to tell me that you're not an American, are you?

I don't understand.

I'm an American!

I don't know.

Where do you think you're coming from?

Nothing, Mr. Feldwein.

Nothing at all.

Disturb the old man against the wall.

Yes, Mr. Weiss.

I tell you, if we don't find the Americans, we'll shoot them.

We'll kill you if we don't find the Americans.

I tell you.

He was here.

I sent them to our mill to hide.

What did he say?

He said to hide in the mill.

Tell them we'll show them.

Let's go. They'll show us.

He says we better get out of here. They took the hat of the prisoner and they

found the hat that belongs to one of us.

It's mine.

We can't leave. We can't be moved.

Lieutenant, I guess the Abbot was trying to give us a little time to get out of

here. He told them we were hiding in a mill, and they forced him to

take them there.

Where is the mill?

Where is the mill, my father?

Two kilometers from here to the north, by the river.

It's about two kilometers from here by the river.

I can't stop now.

Get back to staff.

Make that voice German.

No time.

John's coming.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't want to bother you. I wanted some water.

Damn it!

Oh, God.

He was trying to say something, and I couldn't get over there. I'm trying to

find out what it was. I think he's dead.

How is he?

He's not dead.

How is he having?

He's all right.

How does your head feel?

Better, but I'm still a little busy.

Well, try and get some sleep.

But there isn't any bite for us in a little while.

Okay.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

Captain, yes.

All right.

All right.

All right.

Sure.

Turns. Huh?

Can't stop.

Get back.

Headquarters.

start again.

Thanks.

Hanley, how do you stand it down here on the ground?

I'd go crazy.

The war's the same.

Only the angle is different.

Yeah, but that angle makes a big difference.

With us, you get up there and fight for a while, and then you come down and take

a rest.

But with you guys, you're up against it all the time, hour after hour, day after

day, no let up.

Like Thorpe there.

What happens if he dies?

What about all that information he's got? Has he told anybody? Has he told

you?

You think he's going to make it, Lieutenant?

one over the top floor and watch after Krautson.

Easy.

Lieutenant.

He said he can't see the bleeding where the bullet came out of his chest.

What?

Come on outside. I want to talk to you.

Page.

In fact, what was the layout?

Were there any Germans behind us during the firefight?

No, sir.

If you and I were facing the Germans, then you send Kirby out to flank them.

They couldn't have gotten beyond us.

Then tell me, how does a man get shot in the back when the enemy is in front of

him? After the firefight, the only two men behind Captain Thorpe were Banning

and Asher.

What are you trying to say, sir?

I don't know.

Where was Banning hit?

Well, I didn't check him out, so all I know is that he was dead.

I'm going to find out.

You want me to go with you?

No, you stay here and...

All right, sir.

I'll be back before Goody and his men arrive.

Sounds of a storm's coming up.

Yes, sir.

Where's Lieutenant Hanley?

He'll be back soon.

Rain, that's all we need, huh?

Could be a big help.

You like to walk around soaking wet?

You infantry guys have strange tastes.

Covers up our noises.

Oh.

Well, I'm glad I'm not out in it anyway.

You got a cigarette?

You know, if...

If Jerry hadn't nailed me, I'd be over in England right now writing a letter to

my girl.

She's the reason I got into this mess.

We had a fight.

And when she found out I'd enlisted, she forgave me just like I thought she

would.

Too bad I couldn't look far enough ahead to see that it wouldn't do me any good.

I'm here and she's back in Kansas.

You ever been to Kansas Cage?

No, sir.

That's where I'm from. Haven, Kansas.

Miles of wheat fields.

Really something.

Why don't you catch some sleep, Lieutenant?

It's going to be a long night.

No, no.

Gautier and his group should be coming back for us any minute.

How long?

before Lieutenant Hanley gets back.

He'll be back in time.

Brother Jasper, is he a doctor?

No.

He acts like one.

Well, I guess he has a lot of experience.

How long you been with Lieutenant Hanley, Kate?

Since I'm on the beach.

He sure seems to know what he's doing.

A bit.

We should get back. Where'd he go?

He didn't tell me.

Sure must have been something important for him to go off at a time like this.

Probably was, sir.

Relax,

Captain. He's not here.

Charlie, listen.

Charlie, Flannick caught an offensive.

Big one.

Flannick. I was off three days.

What do you think, Captain?

In my right boot.

It's Mark.

Lie still, lie still.

Am I right?

It's about time he got here.

I got to get back to our lines right away.

Well, where's Lieutenant Hanley and Keith? I don't know. They just left.

Well, where'd he go? I don't know. They said they'd be back.

Kevin Sorb's dead.

But before he died, he gave me all the information he had.

I've got to get it back to G2, and I've got to get it there fast.

Our route is to the barge landing on the river, then downriver to the American

lines.

Well, let's go.

Well, can't you wait for Lieutenant Hanley in case he gets back and we can

all leave together?

There isn't time. I've got to get this information back to G2. You wait here

for Hanley.

But, sir, what if... That's an order, Kirby.

What happened to him?

Asher slugged me.

Slugged you? What do you mean, slugged you? Where is he?

Where is he? Well, he's gone. Him and them underground guys went to the river.

Well, we've got to stop him, Kirby.

Wait a minute. What are you talking about?

What do you mean I'm talking about Asher? He's a kraut.

A kraut.

He's dead.

Let's look in his right boat. He says there's a map in his boat.

I should flood Cade. He headed for the river with the underground guys.

He's dead, Lieutenant.

He told me the Germans were starting in advance in three days.

He had a map of it in his boot.

Asher got it.

Kirby does tags occasionally.

Captain Thorpe.

And, uh, thanks.

The Bush.

I'm taking him to prison.

Tell him this won't be easy.

But, dear General, one close friend.

Tell your people the Germans are planning a big push through here in

three days.

We will do what we can.

Come. We will take you to the right side of the way.
