All language subtitles for Combat! S03E10 - The Impostor

Four guys to escort one captain.
We don't even know
where we're going.

We don't need to know.

Ah. These guys from Intelligence
always gotta make everything
a big secret.

(shots are fired)

You're Americans.

Yeah, and this is American territory.
What you shooting at?

What are you doing out here?
Who you with?

One of the GI's sir.

Larson.

It's okay.
Come on.

Lieutenant Hanley.

I know you.

You're from Company L.

Alright, let's have it.
What are you doing out here?

We're chasing a kraut captain.

He might be an important prisoner sir.
He speaks perfect English.

A real superman type.

Our jeep skidded off
the road and he got away.

And where is your jeep?

It's about 50 yards
down the road sir.

Well, at least we
don't have to walk back.

-Caje. Littlejohn.

Go help them with the jeep.

Unh. Ah.

Too bad your mission
was washed out Captain.

Just me Lieutenant.
Not the mission.

You're working for G-2 now.

Aired Dec. 24, 1964

Now there's a chateau right here.

The Germans set up a planning
headquarters in it about 36 hours ago.

They're using it in
the daytime only.

Their night time
security is minimal.

How minimal?

2 or 3 guards.

And you gotta get in there and out,
without anybody knowing
you were there.

If the Germans find
out you were there,

They just change their plans
and the photos you'll be
taking will be useless.

These uh, 3 experts we're
supposed to meet at the mill,

uh, they know the whole setup,

In G-2 you only tell your men
what they need to know each
step of the way.

Anybody gets captured,
you get more security.

Now, there's a wing out
on back of the chateau.

The map room's in there,
up in the 2nd level.

Sergeant Walker will get
you inside. He's a locksmith.

Sergeant Morgan is a cartographer.

He'll select the most valuable maps
to show the kraut division placements.

Lieutenant Tracy will be
doing the actual photography.

He's a good man.

The best with infrared
equipment I have ever met.

What about the other two?

I never worked with them,
but I told them to give me
the best men available.

Any other questions?

Yeah, one.

Why don't we just go back and
get another G-2 officer to head
up this mission.

No time.

The krauts move these planning
headquarters all around.

I know where this one is today,
tomorrow we won't be sure.

Jeeps on the road, sir.

Watch it.
Watch it. Unh.

Oh mother.

Ahh!

Alright Kirby, out.

We're not going.

Good luck Hanley.

Thanks sir.

-Lieutenant, how come we're not..

Where are we going Lieutenant?

Here, hold the light.

We're gonna rendezvous with 3 men.

Right here.
At this mill.

Who are they?

There's a Lieutenant Tracy.
He's a photographer.

Sergeant Walker.

He's an uh, expert lock picker.

And Sergeant Morgan.

He's a cartographer.

Oh?

That's a map maker.

-But I know it.

A lock picker,

map maker, photographer?
What kind of mission is
this anyway, Lieutenant?

This is G-2.

Not even the men we're picking
up know anything about it yet.

Alright. Now after we pick
up our specialists,

We're going into kraut territory,
through this minefield.

Now there's a gap
through it right there.

Now let's go.

Oh yeah.

Sign and countersign.
Hot dogs and beans. Got it?

Hot dogs and beans.

(wind is starting to howl)

Halt.

Advance and be recognized.

Halt.

Hot dogs.

Beans.

Advance.

I'm Lieutenant Tracy.

Lieutenant Hanley.

Captain Roberts had an accident.
He won't be here.

Let's go inside.

Cage. You and Kirby,
take a look around.

Littlejohn.

Check the perimeter of the minefield.
See if you can find the gap.

-Are you Morgan?

I'm Walker sir.

You better fill us in Lieutenant.

I wasn't told anything except
take my equipment and
meet Captain Roberts here.

Same here.

The Captain's instructions were to brief
you when we reach our objective .

Now we head straight
north through here.

There's a minefield....Just before
we reach kraut territory.

Here's the map.
And the gap through it.

Memorize it, in case
we get separated.

When you got it down
I'm gonna destroy the overlay.

In the meantime,
I'll check with my men.

-Anything?

Lieutenant!

Kraut captain.

He must have gotten it right in
the back of his head with a rock.

French partisan must have,
come along at the right time.

Maybe.

Hey.

Now wait a minute...

Hey Lieutenant.

Hey, this is no kraut.
He's an American.

-An American?

Yeah, this is the guy.
He's a dealer..
He's a sergeant.

What are you talking
about, Kirby?

Look. You remember when I was
in the hospital a couple of
weeks after D-Day.

This guy come in the
morning I left. Now...

They, they call him Red.

Look at him.
Look at his hair.

Well, there's red haired
krauts too, you know.

Lieutenant. I know it's the guy.
Now I helped the medics put him in bed.

He had a scar, he had a bayonet
wound right on his arm it went
clean through his Sergeant stripes.

I know it's him.

What outfit was he with?

I don't know.
I don't remember that.

But, what would your red headed
Sergeant be doing way out here?

Unless...

Unless,

he was one of the specialists,
assigned to this mission.

What are you saying?
One of those two
Sergeants in there is...

Lieutenant, that's a real nervous
idea you're talking about.

What other reason would
there be to switch uniforms.

Well that kraut must have heard
when you briefed us back there.

Yeah, he could have
heard everything.

The sign, the countersign.

And knew we were
here, at the mill.

The mine field?

Sure.

All he has to do was
hightail it out here.

Kill Red and switch places.

The only thing he wouldn't
try on his own,

would be to cross that mine field.

He's probably in there right now,
laughing up his sleeve.

Just waiting for us to show
him the way home.

Yeah.

But which one.

Hey Lieutenant.

Why don't you call
off the whole mission.

Bring them all back to HQ.

And then right in G-2's lap.

No we can't.
The job's gotta be done tonight.

Look. We'll keep this...

keep this among ourselves.

Kirby, you stay out here.

Tip off Littlejohn
when he gets back.

Caje. You come back
inside with me.

I'll do the talking.

You keep your rifle handy.

Ready to go, Lieutenant?

A couple minutes.

Have to wait 'till my men finish
checking the perimeter of the mine field.

You memorize this map?

-Yeah.

Attend a bene strike hoven.

You practicing up on your
kraut talk, Lieutenant.

Why not?

Your accent's pretty bad sir.

Didn't know you
spoke German, Morgan.

Speak it like a native.

Captain Roberts didn't tell me about
any of you speaking German.

Well I'm a cartographer sir.

Sometimes I have to read
the legends in German maps.

Nice lighter.
It's a Panzer Crest, isn't it?

Yes sir.
Solid gold.

Where'd you get it?

The guy I won it from took it
off a dead kraut.

Does it really matter
where he got it, Lieutenant?

No I guess not.

Is it about time we
took off Lieutenant?

I told you we have to wait fo
my men to check the perimeter.

Hey, what outfit you with Walker?

201st ordnance sir.

Who's your CO.

Captain Wheeler, why?

Oh, I knew a few
platoon leaders there.

Lieutenant Korday and
Lieutenant Gunnelson.
You know 'em?

No sir.
Never heard of them.

Who taught you to pick locks?

I worked for a safe company
back in the states.

Why all these questions sir?

I don't know.

What is the reason, Lieutenant?

Oh, just playing it safe.

Let me see your dog tags.

Come on.
Give them to me.

What's your blood type?

A. Uh...
No, O.

Now come on. What is it?
What's on the tag?

Not sure.

Oh, I...

I forget. I don't know.
I'll bet a lot of guys don't know.

Well Lieutenant, uh. Every soldier's
supposed to know his blood
type isn't he?

Every soldier should.
Mine's AB.

Mine's A.

So is mine.

Look. I've never been wounded.
I've never even been in a hospital.

I just don't remember.
Now that's reasonable, isn't it?

I guess so.

"O".

You really are playing
it safe, Lieutenant.

Maybe I am.

Captain Roberts told me
not to take any chances.

I guess I'm overdoing it a little.

Hey Lieutenant.

That kraut captain that
those soldiers were chasing.

I found him outside.
He's dead.

What kraut captain?

Did you see Kirby?
Isn't Kirby outside?

No sir.
He's not there.

Lieutenant Hanley.

Now what's this about
a dead kraut captain?

He's an escaped prisoner.
Headed this way.

You stay here.
I'll find Kirby.

Just a minute. You knew
that body was out there.

I knew.

Well, how come you
didn't say anything?

Because the body out there
is not a kraut.

He's an American Sergeant.

One of my men made
a positive identification.

Who ever killed him put
him in a kraut uniform.

So that's why all the questions.

You think one of us is that
kraut captain, huh Lieutenant?

It's a possibility.

But I didn't want to say anything.

I thought I could
find out for myself.

Well, We'll all be moving out now
so you have a right to know.

To protect yourselves.

Don't look at me.
I'm no kraut.

No. You're just a poor innocent guy that
can't even remember his blood type.

What about you? How come
you speak German so good?

Well lots of Americans
speak German.

Now look, Lieutenant. If I,
if I were really a kraut,
especially a kraut officer...

You don't think that I'd admit
that I speak German. I mean,
how stupid can you get?

An extra smart kraut...

might admit that he
spoke German

to throw suspicion off himself.

Okay, Go on.
In here. Hurry up.

Who's this?

I heard something over by the
minefield. Went to check it out
and found this guy.

Said he just escaped
from the krauts.

Came through that minefield
all by himself.

That's right.

I did.

What's your name and outfit?

Private Henderson, 349th,
Engineers.

Like I've been trying to
tell this joker sir,

hunting for mines is my job.

I saw this field.

Pulled my way across it.

I can't tell which way he
came from Lieutenant.

The wind blew his tracks away.
He could've been going
either direction.

Hey.

I don't know what's
with you guys.

Well, krauts in American uniforms
have a lot of tricks for
infiltrating our lines.

Do you mind if I take
a load off my feet?

I'm bushed...

starved.

What I think Hanley...

I think we oughta go back to Captain
Rob Mertson, let him get a positive
identification on those 2 sergeants.

Can't.
There's a time element.

This mission's got to
be accomplished tonight.

Lieutenant.

Take a look at
Private Henderson's sleeve.

Got ourselves
a third sergeant.

I'm telling you, I am me.
Tom Henderson, GI dogface.

I was a sergeant.
I got busted.

What's the matter, Lieutenant.

You never heard of a guy
gettin busted in this man's army?

Why all the sweat?

Because there's a dead American
sergeant lying outside in a
kraut captain's uniform.

That means there's a kraut
captain running around somewhere

in a sergeant's uniform.

What happened to
the three stripes?

There was a brawl in a Bistro
night before last.

My C.O. heard about it yesterday
morning so now I'm a
buck private again.

I tell you sir.
That's the truth.

Anybody got a drink?

Yeah.

When, when I came in from
my job, I grabbed a bottle.

It's a spooky kind of job , sir,
probing for mines.

If you last for 6 months,
you're lucky.

Well I beat the percentage.

Been at it for over a year.

But every time I go out
into the field...

I know that's gonna
be my last time.

So...

Yeah.

I hit the bottle.

When were you taken
prisoner Henderson?

Last night, sir.

Where?

Uh, near Dianna.

They took me in.
Five other guys behind the lines.

I...got away about 5 hours ago.

I been walking ever since.

Drunk.
Busted.

Captured, escaped.
All in 36 hours.

You don't believe this fairy tale,
do you Lieutenant?

It's no fairy tale. And why are you
so anxious to pin it on me.

Because I think you're
the lousy kraut.

Knock it off and sit down.

I said sit down!

They could all be
on the level.

Maybe that guard
captain just, lit out.

Cross our mine field
on his own?

Maybe.

Maybe he's still...hanging
around somewhere.

Henderson.

We can't afford to leave you here,
so you're gonna go with us.

Now the rest of you..

If you're engaged by the enemy,

You shoot only to
protect yourselves.

because I want quiet.

Now saddle up.

What are you doing.

You said you were with the 201st.

That's right, I am.

Well this is a 316th.
Now what's the matter with you.

Knock it off.
I said knock it off.

What's the matter. You never
heard of moonlight requisitioning.

Lieutenant. I lost my bag
so I glommed onto this.

What's the matter with you.
A minute ago you were
blaming it on Henderson.

Now you're back onto me.

You know personally I 'm
betting it's you.

Now let's move out of here.
Caje. Take the point.

Peabody.
Bring up the rear.

What do you think, Lieutenant?

I don't know.

Who do you think?

I don't know.

The way they tell it,
it could go either way.

A fouled up mission.

According to the map this
is the end of the minefield.

Which way now Lieutenant.

Due east.

We head in that direction we'll
run right into a German outpost.

I can show you where to
get past them.

I don't want to get
captured again.

Alright Henderson.

You take the point with me.

Go on.

Lieutenant.

He could deliver us right
in the kraut's laps.

Well, for that matter,
so could any of them.

Alright.

We'll all stick together.

I don't want anybody getting...uh,

lost.

Well, if Henderson led us to
the krauts, at least we know
he's on the level.

Maybe he's decided to stick with us
until he finds out what the mission is.

This way.

Alright. This looks like a good
place to get some sleep before
we move in on target.

What is the target Lieutenant?

I'll let you know in
plenty of time.

Alright Caje.
You come with me.

Lieutenant. We're gonna recon.

Make sure everything's the way
Captain Roberts expected it to be.

Littlejohn.
Keep watch back there.

Kirby, come along. You can
watch out from where we are.

Right, let's move out, now.

Don't any of you move around.

Some of my men may
mistake you for krauts.

I don't want
any uh, accidents.

Let's go.

Well Lieutenant.

Now which one of us
do you think it is.

I have a hunch we'll find
out soon enough Henderson.

You know, for my dough we don't
have to do any more wondering.

You gonna confess Morgan.

Wise guy.

We all just saw that minefield.
Nobody could get through that
without a map.

I did.

You believe me don't you boy.

Sure baby.
I believe everybody.

Know what I think?

I think Lieutenant Hanley hit
it right on the nose.

That kraut got away.

Wake me up when
the boys get back.

Everything's quiet here Lieutenant.
How's it look back there?

Not bad.

There are 2 guards.

One in front and one circling
the building we have to get into.

Two. Well that's okay if all
we have to worry about is two krauts.

Don't forget about
this one in there.

I think it's Morgan.

I don't know.

Walker didn't remember the
two guys the Lieutenant
mentioned were in his outfit.

That's a plus for him.

I made up those names.

(sniff, sniff)

Smoke!

This could bring every kraut in
the neighborhood down on us.

Who did it?
Who did it?

Alright Lieutenant.
What happened.

I don't know.
I was asleep.

Where's Henderson?

He's over here.

Hey Henderson.
Get up.

He's dead.

Looks like he got it the
same way Red did.

With a rock.

Now we know that kraut
officer didn't get away.

That's for sure.

Whoever set the fire

Henderson must have seen him.

Well it wasn't me.

Well don't look
at me Lieutenant.

Alright, that's enough.

We'll be moving up now.
I want to say something.

Whichever of you two it is...

My men and I are gonna be
watching you every second.

Whoever the phony is..

He makes one move to
report to krauts, he's had it.

Alright. Lieutenant, you and I
are gonna take the point.

Caje, Kirby.
Bring up the rear.

Let's move out.

Planning room.

It's first door.
Top of the stairs.

-Walker.

Your job is to open that
door and any locks inside.

So that's our mission Hanley.
I'm to photograph their maps.

Morgan will pick out
the right ones.

We want the location and
disposition of all enemy units shown.

Any questions?

What about sentries?

There are two.

One in front.

One circles the building every
two and a half minutes.

You're sure there aren't
any others?

I'm sure.

You go with me.

Kirby.

You bring Morgan across
after the door's open.

Caje. You can come across
with Lieutenant Tracy.

Littlejohn.

You stay here.

We may need some
cover coming out.

Let's go.

Come on.
What's holding it up.

I'm going as
fast as I can.

I never ran into a lock
like this before.

Come on. You're supposed
to be one of the best.

I am.

Now.

Come on. Hurry up.
Hurry up.

Lieutenant.
Sentry.

Let's try it.

(creaks open)

This ought to do
for openers.

How do we know he's
picking the right maps.

You'll just have to take
my word for it Lieutenant.

Unless somebody else around
here can speak German.

Let's not take all night.
Come on.

Got these notations on
the border. They're important.

That was a dud.

(Pffft)

Another dud.

There's something wrong
with this flash gun.

Each of the one of them
could have damaged it.

They both had the opportunity.

I never touched it.

I never did either.

If I'm gonna get any pictures,

You're gonna have to
turn on the lights.

Captain Roberts told me you
were the best infrared man
he'd ever worked with.

Infrared.

You shoot in the dark.

Maybe the Wehrmacht forgot
to give you photography lessons.

Lieutenant Hanley.

It's the sergeant that was killed.
You just said so.

Sentry!

We thought he had
to be a sergeant.

Forgot he could have gotten
a battle field commission
since Kirby met him.

We'll get some pictures if we have to
play this camera all over the dial.

Are you glad to be back on
American real estate Captain.

Don't forget Lieutenant. A prisoner
of war has protection under
the Geneva Convention.

Oh, you'll get it Captain.

You were caught in
an American uniform.

According to the Convention
that's a spy charge.

I wouldn't pick him a ride
on the road huh Lieutenant.

I don't think so, Littlejohn.
How would we know
who we're riding with.

Let's go.
