Littlejohn. You and Ryan check on the other side of the bridge.

Kirby, you and Wheeler check out this side.

The rest of you follow me.

Hey. Looking for a hole in your head.

Force of habit.

( a cracking noise)

Krauts.

Welcome, my sons.

-Ow. -What is it Father.

Just a leg wound.

You better sit down.

Littlejohn. Go get Doc. -Go. Do not... -I'll wait here with the father.

-Don't trouble. -Be right back.

Here's your breviary father.

Ahhh, Thank you.

Are you a Catholic?

Yes, I am.

My brother John is a priest.

Oh, Ah. (breathing hard)

Let me look at that.

I think it's only a flesh wound.

Is it very painful?

Yeah. I would be lying if I said it wasn't.

I'm glad you speak English, Father.

If it's not too much trouble, I'd like you to hear my confession.

I don't mean now. I mean later, after Doc fixes your leg.

But, don't you have a priest in your unit, a chaplain.

Oh sure, but uh, I haven't been able to see him for quite awhile.

Uh, I, certainly, my son.

Later today.

Thank you Father.

Hello Father. I'm Sergeant Saunders.

I am hein, Father Hansbrook.

-Hansbrook. -That isn't French, is it?

No, I was born in Holland.

Uh oh.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Do you know what German units were occupying your town?

No, No I...had very little to do with them.

Pa Pere.

Sergeant on the bridge we came over, and the crossing is all set to go.

Charge is still in it.

I'd better take a look at it.

We'll be around for awhile, so if you need anything, please let us know.

Let's go.

I'll be back later for confession Father.

Gee, that oughta do it Sir. It's a nice clean cut, should heal in a hurry.

Thank you.

(German)

(German)

(German) Importanci.

There's more than enough here to blow this bridge.

I wonder why they didn't blow it.

There's no fuse, no detonators.

Maybe they didn't have time.

-Hey Sarge. -Yeah.

Town's all clear. Everything checks out okay.

Pile all this stuff under here uh.

Yeah.

Boy.

Those tanks of supplies coming through tonight we'd have been in trouble if they'd blown this thing.

Caje. I want a sentry on this bridge at all times.

Alright Sarge.

Anything over there.

Now it's clean.

Hello Father.

Is there anything we can do for ya?

No, no I uh,

I thought some exercise would be good for my leg.

What you got there Padre?

Ah ha, nothing I, I was looking for medical supplies, but

My people are always in need.

Why, I went over this before this, There's nothing here but odds and ends.

Not the kind of stuff you should really want to fool with Padre.

-It's dangerous. -Yeah, I know, I know.

Uh, hold it Padre.

What um, did you hide in your clothes before huh.

Oh it uh, was just a trifle.

Ah, come on now. What is it.

It was nothing.

You can get yourself hurt bad with that kind of trifle. Uh, you better let me have it.

-I tell you, it was nothing. -Padre?

Let's go talk to the Sergeant.

-Hello Father. -Hello.

Sergeant, I, I hesitate to say this, but while I was away someone entered the vestibule.

-Was anything taken? -Yes, food.

Well, it wouldn't be any of my men Father. We have more than enough food, as you can see.

No, I know that. I...

I cannot understand it myself and I'm sorry to have to report it.

Maybe there's still some Germans in town Sarge.

Littlejohn, check it out with the squad on duty huh.

I'll just leave it here. Nobody's gonna eat it.

Thank you Sergeant.

Why don't you stay and eat with us, Father?

It's only field rations, but it's pretty good.

Why don't you join us?

I didn't mean to imply a request for food.

-We have more than enough. -Right, come on.

We've got uh, beef stew and uh, meat and beans and uh..

One beef hash?

Well, I will take the stew.

Huh.

Be better if it was hot, but uh..

Ha ha. It will be fine.

Let me Father and I'd be happy to serve your mass tomorrow morning.

Seeing as how there's no alter boys in town.

That'd be fine. Thank you my son.

Ryan. You're next up on the bridge.

-Is it time? -Almost.

How's the stew Father?

Fine.

At least it'll stick to your ribs.

Stick to roof of your mouth too.

Sarge.

Weaver's dead.

He's been knifed.

I just found him in a back street near that German truck.

Let's go.

Got him from the front, right.

The front, so he seen whoever did it.

His rifle's still slung.

Somebody must have jumped him.

Maybe it was the kraut who stole Father Hertzbrun's food.

Caje, I want this town flushed out again.

Every corner, every attic, every cellar, you got it.

Right, Let's go Ryan. Come on.

Hello Father.

Hello.

How's your leg?

Better.

You have not caught the German yet?

No not yet, uh. I'd feel better if you stayed inside.

I can detail a man to stay with you. These streets aren't safe.

No no no. Please, please.

I am...

I am in good hands, wherever I go.

Besides, you have a sentry stationed on the bridge right above where I fish.

I have a feud with a large and wily trout. I like even the walk in the dark.

I don't really want to catch him. He and I are old friends.

But it gives me time for meditation on truly important things like the war's end.

-You think it'll come soon? -I am sure of it.

I hope you're right.

Yes. And victory will come to those who most deserve it, Sergeant.

You will see I'm right one day soon.

How long have you been in combat Sergeant?

Well it seems like my, like my whole life.

You do not like being a soldier.

It's not whether I like it or not Father. It's just a

It's just a job that has to be done.

Yes, we all have jobs that have to be done Sergeant.

God fulfills himself in many ways, even through war.

Good luck.

Thank you, Sergeant.

Hup. Private Ryan. Private Ryan.

-Yes Father. -I saw something in the water.

-What was it? -It could have been a man.

He crawled out on the other bank and hid in the brush.

You wait here. I'll take a look.

Hi Padre.

What are you doing?

Oh I

I lost something. The fish are reluctant to bite when there's no bait on the hook.

I was looking for some bait.

Hey, that's right up my alley.

I'm off duty. Let me help you.

You know, the farm...

Back at home, we used to have worms as big as snakes.

You know, these just can't compare to American worms.

I didn't see a thing Father. Must have been an animal.

Ah, that is too bad.

What are you looking for?

The kraut who killed Weaver. Father Hertzbrun thought he saw something over there.

You must have been seeing things Padre.

That kraut wouldn't come down here. There's no place to hide.

You're right of course.

One thing I've learned about Germans. They're not stupid.

Well.

Here we go. Baited and ready to use.

Why thank you. Thank you.

Well, next best thing to fishing, is always watching the other guy.

My dad used to tell my little brother that one. When he didn't bring a pole along for him.

Why, how thoughtless of me. I have another pole in the church.

Now, I'll go get it.

No. Stay where you are. I'll get it. Just tell me where I can find it.

It's in a wardrobe, in the vestibule.

Be right back.

Father?

Don't forget, I'll meet you at the church, as soon as I get off guard duty.

I will not forget.

Padre.

Padre.

Padre.

Yes.

Oh. Sergeant Saunders wants to see you.

Oh, what about?

I think he wants you to take a look at a map or something.

Huh, well tell the Sergeant I will be there soon.

It's slow going, my, my leg makes it slow going. But I will be there soon.

Well. He's not in that big a sweat. I'll give you a hand.

I don't know. No. No I, I want to do it alone. I want to work the leg.

I found it.

Hey, you're not quitting already, are you?

Uh.

Sarge wants to see him Littlejohn.

Well, I'll keep it on spoon 'till you get back.

Thank you.

This uh, this is hedgerow country.

What about through here. Is it densely wooded?

Yes, yes. And many here.

And these roads. What kind of shape are they in? Right through here.

Fine.

I mean, could heavy German trucks pass over it.

No. I think not.

And this road here, is well surfaced and uh, in good shape I think.

It would be an obvious route to withdraw.

Obvious route of withdrawal.

Playing war, once I think we learn to use the language of war.

Can I, help you further.

No, no thanks Father. You've been a big help. Thank you.

My pleasure.

(German)

-You're to go, Ryan. -Thanks Steve.

Everything okay. Any new orders?

Nope. Everything's okay. See ya.

Yeah. See ya.

En portenci.

(German)

(German)

Father Hertzbrun.

(Knock knock knock knock)

Who is it?

I'm here for confession Father.

I've been waiting for you.

Father.

You forgot your stole Father.

Bless me Father, for I have sinned.

It's been 6 weeks since my last confession.

Since then I uh,

I have taken the name of our Lord in vain

And uh,

Lied

and been selfish Father.

I have prayed for an end to the war

for personal reasons.

So that I might go home and, see my family.

and

a girl that I want to marry.

I have forgotten the oppression that we are fighting.

And

that the defeat of the enemy would mean

the end of oppression for millions of people.

Now I've thought about myself.

I'm sorry Father.

I'm sorry for these, and all the sins of my past life.

Help me Father.

My son

In war...it is not

easy for a soldier to

see where his good lies always.

Youth.

Perhaps you

have done all you could. Go now.

in the knowledge that you have been forgiven.

My penance Father. Aren't you gonna give me a penance?

Of course. Say

ah...Our Fathers and Hail Marys.

How many?

Ten.

Yes Father.

Thank you Father.

Father Hertzbrun.

Just now as you passed the Blessed Sacrament, you didn't genuflect.

Why?

I, I cannot. My leg.

No no no. You completely ignored it.

Who are you?

I am a priest.

My son, I just heard your confession.

Gave you absolution for your sins. I am a priest.

Father Hertzbrun

No. I thought the customs were different in France.

But just now during the confession, you didn't really know what it was all about.

Oh please.

And when you passed the Vested Sacrament, you didn't even bow your head.

You didn't even give one small act of adoration.

Something any priest in the world would do without even thinking.

You're no priest. Who are you?

I am a priest.

No, you're not.

Umph. Please.

Help..

What was that?

I think it's coming from the church.

Somebody.

We better go see.

Over here. Allan.

Hey. Caje. I don't understand.

Must be the same guy who got Weaver.

Yeah, probably. Go get Doc will ya.

Hey Ryan. Ryan.

Ryan. Who did it?

Who did it Ryan?

That...

is

the priest.

Okay. Okay. Just take it easy.

Just take it easy.

He's all cut up.

Not quizzing him.

Uh uh.

I've been trying to find out what happened, but he can't tell me.

He just keeps calling for the priest.

Where is Father Hertzbrun?

Well I don't know. I guess he's down at the CP with the rest of them.

All them kids were bringing money. I'm gonna go back for Saunders anyway.

This oughta make you feel a little better, Ryan.

The father had better hurry.

Caje. Check out the church.

Ryan. Ryan. How did this happen?

The..

Ryan, what happened.

Priest.

He wants the priest.

Well, you know, we thought he was with you down at the CP.

Down by the bridge fishing before. Take a look there.

Okay.

Come on baby. Come on. Take it easy.

Nice dinner for the Padre. Come on out.

Hey. just in time Padre. How do you like this spot.

Very nice.

Ah, why don't you take him up to the church. I will join you there.

Oh, you mean to quit now? If we both go to work we can catch a whole mess of 'em.

Ah no. No, you don't understand. I want to be alone here. To, to meditate.

Oh, well. You go ahead and meditate. I won't make a sound.

Padre. Can you come quick? Sergeant wants to see you.

What about?

What's about it Kirby?

Ryan's been stabbed.

-Is he dead? -No Sir. You better come quick though,

Ohh.

Go easy. It's very painful.

Somebody help me. Easy. Easy.

He's conscious. Sarge.

Father skipped out of the confessional. He must have been waiting for the priest.

Yeah. He said he was going to confession.

Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy.

Easy...Easy.

I'm here.. Find thee father his home is here.

Unh, ah, uh, agh.

A ehh ugh aaah.

Unh, uh, aah.

Easy. Easy.

(struggling to breathe)

He...

He was a fine boy.

Father Hertzbrun.

Would you like to say a few prayers for our friend before you go.

Of course.

Littlejohn, tell the rest of the men. Tell them to keep their eyes open.

Hey Sarge.

Did you see this?

It's got some blood on it.

-Where'd you find it? -Under the bench.

Father Hertzbrun.

Can you tell me what this is?

A stole.

Well, there's blood on it. Would Ryan be wearing this to make his confession.

No. It is a vestment of the church.

Ham radio. Check out this whole room.

Oh Father. Did they get the guy who killed Ryan yet?

No. I don't think so.

Oh Father. Do you know if he had a chance to go to confession first?

Leave me alone, please.

I'm sorry Father.

I'll be up on the bridge if you need me.

Hey Sarge.

Look at this.

What's this.

The kraut was hiding out in the church.

Whoever it is has a wounded leg.

So does the priest.

Ryan wasn't calling for him before.

He was naming him as his killer.

Should have known.

Should have known the way he read that map.

I don't get it. What does a kraut wanna hang on here for.

The bridge.

(German)

Halt Sergeant.

Don't do anything or I will kill this man.

Come here. Come here.

Come here. Watch out. Watch out.

Come here.

Quiet son, Quiet. Nein. Nein.

Come here. Come here.

Next time. Come here.

Nein.

(German)

It's complicated. Light up.

Come here. Come here.

Come here.

He dropped the charge.

Stevens. Get out of the way.

He's sure lucky he tripped over that cassock.

Yeah, it protected him for awhile.

But we finally got him.

Take it off him.
