Hey, try to flank them.

Hey, guard them.

It was locked.

That's not her.

Those shots came from the trees up there.

Give me cover.

Fire to the trees.

No.

Fire.

FIRE!

Throw down your weapon.

I said to throw down your...

Okay,

now, just keep your hands up.

Hey, look what the kid got.

Good going, Torrey.

Where's Booker?

Over there. He's hit.

Booker?

Sorry.

I'm sorry, little Johnny.

I'm sorry, Sarge.

Look where I... All right, Corey, all right.

I did everything I could, Kirby.

Well, we know that, Corey.

Nobody doubts that.

You got yourself a crowd prisoner, too.

I say you did okay.

Starring Vic Morrow.

And Rick Jason.

Guest star, Dwayne Hickman.

telling me just this morning.

He was going to go back to school when he got out.

He wanted to make something out of his life.

Looks like you picked up all the marbles today, Corey.

Yeah. Not only did you kill a lot of Krauts, but you got us a prisoner we

needed.

I'm still shaking.

Everybody does that the first time out.

Don't worry about it.

You stinking Kraut! What right have you got to be alive with Boker lying down

there dead?

Little John!

It's not going to help.

Leutnant! Do you speak English?

Gustav Oga, Leutnant.

The mafiasi has even died.

Kirby.

Tie him up.

He had it, Nick.

I set him out, Kraut. Nobody said anything to you.

How did it happen, Corey?

Well, uh, we were... Trying to get up closer and everything happened so fast

he got hit. It all came at once.

Little John.

Okay.

Okay, Gordon.

I never saw Little John that worked up before.

Yeah, the kid kind of shook up too.

He'll bounce back as soon as we get out of here.

Hey. Take the prisoner.

Let's move out.

Uh, Rouse.

How you doing, Corey?

Okay, sorry.

All right, move.

Something the matter, Corey?

Just waiting for curve.

How does it work with prisoners, Kirby?

What do they do with guys like him?

I don't know.

S2 pumps them, gets what they can out of them, and they ship them off to a PW

camp someplace.

Probably England, States.

That's the hill you marked on the map.

Anything moving?

No, not yet.

But it looks like a good place for an outpost.

Kirby, get up to the face of that hill with Little John.

Cage, take security.

You.

Yeah,

go ahead, sit.

Sorry, you want to tell me what happened back there with Booker?

What do you mean?

Well, there's always a report. When we get back, I'll have to fill one in.

Well, we circle around to that clearing.

The Germans didn't spot us until we tried to make it to those logs, and they

opened up.

Booker told me to fire cover, and he ran out with a grenade.

They were firing at us.

Did you see him get hit?

No, no, I wasn't looking at him.

It was all kind of confusing. I didn't know he was hit until later, but he got

off two grenades.

Then I looked over, and he was lying there. He must have got hit right after,

through the grenade.

Booker did it all.

Deserves all the credit.

I mean it. He was the one who threw the grenade, blew up that German gun.

Hi.

There'll be a little job coming back.

Stay with the crowd.

Would you please give me a cigarette?

Do you have a cigarette?

Do you have a mask?

Your companions have been quite complimentary to you.

You speak English?

Yes, I am.

I learned it at the gymnasium.

Like you say, a high school in America.

Friends are coming back We will talk again later

Just cry out a cigarette.

Yeah, yeah, I did. Well, what are you doing? He killed Booker, and you're

treating him like a long-lost pal.

All right, little John, that's enough.

Well, this one is a question. That's enough.

Watch the road.

Why'd you give him the cigarette?

Well, I just thought I... Prisoners don't get anything until it's too

interrogating, and that includes cigarettes.

You got it?

Right side.

Don't worry, Corey. We all make mistakes.

I'm not worried.

Find any outposts?

No, we didn't.

Well, I'll tell you.

Run up and down those hills and make a billy goat out of you.

Hey, Kraut.

Fritz.

If I spoke his language about two minutes, I should find out where that

outpost line is.

Let's do it. Make him talk.

Look at him just sitting there.

We got to run our heads off and all he's got to do is just sit there.

Well, be thankful we've got him. He's half our mission. Remember that.

Hey, kid.

Sergeant might put you in for a medal for this.

Get yourself a crowd prisoner your first time out.

Lieutenant at that.

All right, let's go.

Cage, take the prisoner.

Go.

Looks like a possibility.

Better check it out. Corey, go with him.

Forget the way I acted about the crotch cigarette, okay?

Sure.

Just thought I was getting to know Booker real good.

He was quite a guy.

Yeah, I know.

Okay, let's go.

There they are.

They can spot anything that moves down below.

Maybe we can take them.

If I just worked in close enough to throw a grenade, and you stayed here and

covered me... No.

Not a little, John.

What I mean is, I don't want to stay back in cover. I'll go throw the

grenade.

Hey, hold it.

I didn't mean we'd do it.

I was just thinking out loud.

Not too risky to try to take him.

If we swung wide and stayed low...

Maybe we could all get by.

Come on, let's go back.

Come on.

See anything?

Right where we pegged it. There's three of them, Sarge. With a machine gun. I

think we can take them.

No.

No, they've really got themselves a spot.

We can do it.

We're not looking for a fight right now, Corey.

The next outpost should be about here.

On the south tip of that hill.

All right, we'll go around them.

Stay spread out. Corey, bring the prisoner.

Come on, come on. Move out, Corey. I'll bring him to you.

Foolish for you to volunteer for dangerous assignments.

What? He told your sergeant you wanted to attack that machine gun position.

Believe me, your friends suspect nothing. So you have nothing to make up

for.

Shut up. Just shut your mouth.

Soldier, if you suggest unnecessary risks, or if you take unnecessary risks,

your friends may start to wonder why.

Let me alone. I just asked you.

I tripped, that's all.

Let me alone. Get away from me.

Get going, you.

Hey, Sarge.

Sarge's a kid. Corey?

I don't know. He's all nervous over something.

Just bit my head off back there for nothing that I can see. I don't know

what's wrong with him.

We'll keep him on the cross.

It's real rugged up there, Sarge. It's going to be tough getting close enough

to see anything.

All right, we'll check it out. Corey, stay here with the prisoner.

Hey, Sarge, why don't you let me go along?

Let one of the others stay here with this guy for a while.

Just settle down, Corey, and stay with the prisoner.

Take it easy, Corey. You've done enough today.

Why don't you do what your friend says?

Take it easy.

What did you sergeant say?

Settle down?

You keep quiet.

I understand how it is.

Unfortunately, these things happen.

You are not the first man to go through it.

And you will not be the last.

I have seen too much to believe that one moment of weakness...

Makes a man a coward.

I'm not a coward!

Of course you are not.

I fired cover for Booker. I did all I could to protect him. What good would it

do for me to get killed, too?

No good at all.

You would probably never give in to panic like that ever again.

Don't worry.

I won't.

Then why should you be labeled as a coward?

Why should that one moment cost you respect and friendship for the rest of

your life?

But that is what will happen.

There's no way to avoid it.

Unless...

You and I are the only ones who need ever know.

I know how you feel.

You are an honest soldier.

But suppose your friends found out exactly what happened.

You gonna tell them?

In any case, if...

If I am taken to your alliance, I... I will be questioned by you intelligence

officers.

They are very highly trained men.

There's no hiding the truth from them.

I would have to tell.

Kill you?

Kill an unarmed man.

With his hands tied.

In cold blood.

You would not do that.

When I am in those trees, if you fire

two or three shots in the air,

you can tell your friends you tried, but you could not stop

me.

They will believe that.

I'll shoot.

Soldier, do not let your life be ruined when this is so easy.

I took the wrong turn. I thought I was lost for a moment.

You okay?

Yeah, of course I am.

What are you doing here?

The South's got the outpost position spotted.

We're to move out and meet him.

You sure you're okay?

I'm okay.

All right, let's move out.

Hey, you, Kraus.

Rouse.

Rouse!

I'm any kind of cunt.

Well, we ought to meet up. We just saw her somewhere over... Crouch.

Crouch. Crouch.

Keep going.

The prisoner is gone. Keep firing.

We've got a prisoner.

Keep firing.

Not all of them anymore. Get out of here. Let's get out of here.

They jumped us. They had us, too, if you guys hadn't got here when you did.

Where's the prisoner?

He got away in a fight.

There wasn't anything we could do. We were trying to beat off those crowds,

and when we looked around, he was gone.

All right, forget it, Corey.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

I knew it was too good to last.

No chance of going back without the prisoner, huh?

We'll have to go after another one.

Yeah. Yeah, we'll get another one.

Fuck it, that patroller can't be moving too fast. One of them's wounded.

Remember,

we want a prison.

Don't fire unless you have to.

Yes, yes, I can cut it, I can cut it.

And he stood.

I am wounded.

I have no weapons.

I need help.

Please.

Please help me.

Please. I never saw you. Soldier, soldier.

You must help me.

You cannot leave me.

Upon your honor, you cannot.

My honor?

We didn't talk about honor when you wanted me to let you escape.

It was my duty to escape.

It's all right, you've escaped.

I am badly wounded.

I will die.

You would have died anyhow if I hadn't found you.

But you did find me.

Cajun Kirby, you're tying him up.

We've got another prisoner.

Sorry, is that the German lieutenant, the other prisoner?

Yeah.

I found him. He's wounded.

Where?

Over the hill there.

He needs help.

Wait for Cajun Kirby.

Make soca.

Thank you, Sergeant.

Soap and a bandage aren't going to fix that.

We'll have to make a litter.

Stay with him.

come back.

Why? I won't help you escape if that's what you're thinking.

It is too late for that.

I am glad you are here.

So you can tell them about me?

No.

I will never do that.

One moment of weakness at the battle does not

make you a coward.

It is the lie denying that moment

that does.

Well, we still have one anyway.

All right, let's go.

Sarge, wait.

I've got to talk to you.

To all of you.

It's what happened, what really happened this morning.

It wasn't like I told you.

It's my fault Booker's dead.

I didn't fire cover for him the way I should have. I pulled back and ducked. I

was scared.

I didn't help him when he needed me the most.

The general lieutenant, he saw what you did, huh?

What are you telling us all this now for?

Yeah, it's all over and done with.

What good do you think it'll do?
