All language subtitles for Combat! S05E09 - Decision

I don't like it.

Been in there too long.

Hey, Kozinski.

What's going on in there? They got a big
problem, Kirby. They don't know whether

to give you guys two weeks in London or
two weeks in Paris.

Sadist. We haven't been able to spot it
from the air.

But we know somewhere between these two
coordinates that we've got a radar and

communications set up.

Orders are to get in and blow it if you
possibly can.

Now, if you can't get close enough, give
us a fix by radio. We'll try to get an

airstrike.

You'll be out of radio range until you
get back to this area.

The Senate is a demolitions man. As soon
as he arrives, you can take off.

Take Adamson McCall with you.

All right, hold still, hold still.

Easy,

easy, Mac.

It's all right, just take it easy.

I guess that's it.

How bad?

It's just his leg, but he's bleeding
pretty bad.

Hey, nice job.

You do it?

No, no, there was a medic here. He took
off.

Hey, give me your hand.

No, you better get a stretcher. He could
be in shock.

Hey, Jonesy, bring a stretcher.

Yes,

sir.

Yes, Major. The patrol will be taking
off as soon as the demolitions man gets

here.

Right.

Lieutenant Hanley? Yep.

Private Harris, sir.

Demolitions.

And Vic Morrow.

Guest star, James Franciscus.

Okay, Harris, that's a setup.

Now, if you can't get close enough, pull
out and call the coordinates.

Let's go, Iris.

Do you have anything from supplies?

No, no, Sergeant. I'm loaded.

Satchel charges, plastics, the works.

Say, does this happen often?

Yep. Twice on Sundays.

Watch it. This stuff's smart.

Come on, Kirby. It doesn't hurt that
much.

What? You're going to stand there and
tell me how much it don't hurt?

I'll go down to the battalion and get
myself a real doctor.

I can't play around with a head wound
like this.

Head wound?

What happened?

Oh, he's okay, Sarge. He just got nicked
by a rock.

Nick! Doc, that thing almost knocked my
head off.

This is Iris. Demolitions will be going
with us. This is Doc, Kirby, Cage,

McCall. This is Adams.

Thanks.

Demolition?

What do we got this time?

Communication center.

I'll go get some ammo. Better get your
gear together. We're pulling out soon.

It's okay, huh?

Hmm?

The sergeant.

Seems like he knows what it's all about.

Oh, yeah, he does.

That's good.

How long you been up here?

Oh, not long.

Matter of fact, it's my first time out
alone. I've been working with a buddy.

Hey, how does this one look? Is it gonna
be pretty rough?

It's set up the way I'm hoping. We'll
probably just end up spotting it and

getting out of there.

All right, let's pull out.

Adams, take the point.

Machine gun.

Can't do any good from here. We'll have
to get closer.

Gage, take Harrison McCall.

Head up on the left.

Kirby, you're on me. We'll head up this
way. Try to get around them.

Split their fire.

Okay, let's go.

All right, let's go.

Stay here and give us cover.

Let's go.

Cover me, McCall.

Okay, just watch.

Thanks, Doc.

When I get sick, they'll be quiet.

Well, you'll be all right, McCall. Went
through clean. It's not broken.

Where'd you learn all your first aid?

In medical school, Doc.

It's okay, Sarge.

Where's the radio?

Oh, I left it behind a log back there.

Kirby, get the radio and Adam's dog
tags.

Just like that, huh?

Get his dog tags and it's over.

He's dead, Harris.

Nothing will change that.

Okay, let's move out. Please take a
point.

Sergeant.

You know, Harris bandaged his arm. Told
me he went to medical school.

Seems kind of funny he should be in
demolitions.

Yeah, come on, Doug. Let's go.

Take five.

Kirby.

The crossroads up ahead. Check it out.

Here.

Let me change that thing for you.

It's okay.

Well, they really have that
communication center buried somewhere,

don't they?

Well, it's got to be around someplace.

Looks okay.

You know, I'm lucky it didn't hit that
nerve there, the... What do you call it?

Radial nerve.

Yeah, that's it.

Harry said it could have paralyzed my
hand.

I might have had to go home.

Looks like you got a real happy patient
there.

Say, I want to ask you something. How'd
you get into demolitions?

Well, I got drafted.

I didn't exactly volunteer.

Now, what I mean is, with your training,
you ought to be a medic.

What did you do, quit school?

No, no, I graduated.

Finished my internship, too.

Well, then you're a doctor.

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

I come from a real family of doctors. My
father, my brother.

I don't understand. I mean, why
demolitions? With your training as a

doctor, it's a long way from killing
people.

I never killed anybody.

Look, Doc, it's just a little
complicated. It'll be a long way.

It's all clear, Sarge.

Okay, let's go.

Gage, leave the radio here and you and
Kirby are on me.

Circle around. Use those trees for
cover.

We'll wait here till you get into a good
firing position.

Then we'll go around, try to get in
behind it.

Don't open up unless they spot us.

Mac, you stay here with Doc.

Now, here are the coordinates, here and
here.

You're at a radio range here, so if
something goes wrong, you take off and

send the coordinates in. You got it?

Look, Sergeant, why are you trying to
blow that thing?

We got the coordinates. Why don't we
just get out of here?

I mean, there are people in there.

Look,

it's just too risky. We could lose the
whole thing.

If anything goes wrong, Doc, I'm going
to send the coordinates in.

Iris, you're coming with me.

Get your gear ready.

Sarge, I think you ought to know he's a
doctor.

He went to medical school and internship
and everything.

Well, right now he's a demo man.

I need him to blow that radar station.

All right, Iris, let's go.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Is that... a bullet?

Okay, Harris, let's go.

Harris!

Let's go.

Checkmate, King 2, this is Weirich.

Checkmate, King 2, this is Weirich,
over.

Hey, are you okay?

He didn't have to do that.

He could have called in.

Look, the sergeant is doing his job.

I know how you feel, but if we didn't do
it, somebody else would have to.

All right, then let someone else do it.

I bet he gets all the tough assignments.

Roger out.

You have anything good to say for a
change?

Yeah, we go again.

Doc, Harris.

We'll meet up with a Maquis. He'll fill
us in.

There's a cave about half a mile up the
road. We'll meet him there.

Kirby, take the point.

Harris.

I don't know what your problem is, but
if you want to stay alive, you better

start thinking like a soldier.

Back there, you left yourself wide open.

Yeah, and you saved my life, Sergeant.
Thanks.

Get off it, Harris. Next time, one of us
may need your help.

Out here, we depend on each other.

No, it's all quite out there. No sign of
him yet.

Keep your eye out for him.

Okay.

Hey, Kirby.

This ought to be worth a couple of weeks
of R&R, huh?

Are you kidding?

By the time we get back, they won't even
be able to find that scratch of yours.

Kind of good to sit down for a change,
doesn't it?

He never lets up, does he?

Well, he doesn't get much of a chance
to.

Oh, come on, Doc. Get off it, will you?

I know his type.

Push, push, push all the time.

You know why?

Because he's got to be perfect, that's
why.

It's just like my father.

Never lets up.

Well, isn't that what it takes to be a
doctor?

Why did you go so far through medical
school?

You must have known what it was like.

Yeah.

Yeah, I knew what it was like, all
right.

I lived with it all my life.

You see, I never had a choice.

Nobody asked me. My father just decided.

He was a doctor.

My brother was a doctor.

I just naturally figured I had to be a
doctor.

Well, did your brother feel the same way
you do?

No.

No.

Well, he loved it.

And he was good, too.

He was operating in a two-by-four tent
near the front lines.

A shell landed right on top of him.

Arch, this is Boucher.

We have a message for us? Yes, the force
have captured an American, the Colonel.

At five o'clock, they will be
transporting him to a prison down the

main roads out of here.

You know?

He will be in a staff car.

It will be guarded, but I am told that
you must rescue him.

That is the message.

Any other vehicles, Will?

I know nothing else, I...

I must go now, Sergeant.

Good luck.

Gage.

Sergeant, the colonel's that important,
they might be bringing him through with

a tank.

I can use all the firepower I can get.

I can carry search.

Okay, Mark.

Must have been pretty rough on your
father.

What?

When your brother got it.

Oh, yeah, I guess so.

You couldn't tell, though.

It's just another part of being the
perfect doctor.

You learn to hide your emotions and
never let anyone know how you feel.

You know, I used to sit and watch him
operate.

He's like a machine.

Four or five hours in a stretch, no
expression on his face. He couldn't tell

whether his patient was living or dying.

He'd be bent over that table, moving his
hands like he was playing a piano,

never missing a note.

Sounds like a good doctor.

Yeah, he is.

Created whole new procedures in surgery.

You know what he used to say?

He used to say there's a beat between
life and death that he...

He could feel with his hands.

I mean, he could tell when a man was
dying because he could... He could feel

it in his fingertips.

And he knew exactly what had to be done
and how to do it.

Could you do that, Doc?

I couldn't.

That's what you're afraid of.

So you quit.

No, I didn't quit.

I just never started, that's all.

Okay, let's go.

Should be just up ahead.

There's a bend in the road with high
ground on both sides.

Let's go.

Gage, get over there on some high ground
and let us know when they're coming.

Okay.

All right, move some of these logs in
here for cover.

Kirby, get on the other side of the
road. Hit him from there.

They're coming.

Two vehicles.

No armor.

The colonel is in the back one.

Get across the road with Kirby. You two
hit the first one. We'll get the one

with the colonel in it.

Okay.

You take the first car.

Thank you.

He's choking.

He's bad, Sergeant.

We have to get out of here.

Lift him up. We'll take him back to the
cave.

How about it?

Looks like he needs a tracheotomy.

A what?

That's a hole cut in his windpipe to get
air into his lungs.

Doc will give you a hand.

Wait a minute, Sergeant. I can't do it.

What do you mean you can't do it? Don't
you know how?

Well, yes, but I... I mean, not here
like this.

Well, can you make it back to our lines
the way it is?

No. Well, you don't have a choice.

Look, Sergeant, I'm not talking about
opening a sofa pack. I'm talking about

cutting a man's throat.

One mistake and I'd kill him. But if you
operate now, he might have a chance,

right?

Now, look, Sergeant, you don't
understand.

Oh, no, I think I do understand.

That's why you don't want to be a
doctor.

Because you're afraid you might kill
somebody.

Well, you quit now and you will kill
him.

He's got a chance.

What about you? What are you going to
do?

Well... It's not easy when you've been
afraid of something as long as I have.

But... I'm going to give it a try.

Good luck, Harris.

Thanks, sir.
