- What are you doin', Jimmy Johnson?

- I'm ropin' me a steer to take home.

- This ain't home.

It's Germany.

There's a war on.

(soft music)

- Five marks.

(muffled chatter)

- Yeah, but they promised we'd be home by Christmas.

(gun clicks)

(gun firing)

(gun firing)

(engine humming)

(artillery booming in distance)

- There's supposed to be six.

- Private Johnson was killed yesterday, sir.

A German sniper got him.

- God damn it!

I need six men, not five.

All our gear in there? - Everything you ordered, sir.

- Fall in!

Fall in!

Detail.

Ten-hut!

Which one are you, soldier?

- Sergeant Joseph Tackney, sir.

- Was Private Johnson a friend of yours?

- Yes, sir, he was.

- Men die every day, Sergeant.

Sound off, soldier.

- Corporal Frederick Rapois, sir.

- You. - Private Hal Parker, sir.

- You. - Private John Lyon, sir.

- You. - Private Edward Fuller, sir.

- My name is Captain Franklin B. Kohler III.

I'm the one responsible for this whole detail.

I saw the need for it, I pushed it, and I got it.

And I got you.

Out of 137 possibilities, I picked you men.

Now you've all had your special training.

Now you're going to find out what it's all about.

It is the considered opinion of the joint chiefs of staff

that this war will be over in two months.

We have the God-given opportunity

to change that to two weeks, maybe less.

- Just what is it we're supposed to do, Captain?

- You don't speak while you're standing at attention,

Tackney.

Now 10 kilometers from here

there's a golf course in a country club

surrounded by German guards.

Inside there's a room used

by the commanding generals of the local German army

to plan their last glorious battles.

There are file cabinets and charts in that room

containing the detailed plans of those battles.

This shows the guard stations, doors,

windows, and hallways.

We're going in there tonight.

We're going to find those papers and charts

and get them back to Allied headquarters.

We're going to move fast

and we're going to move light.

No prisoners.

Every German son-of-a-bitch soldier is to be killed.

on one leg for about a month. (laughing)

For Christ sake's, will ya give her a little smile?

Hush!

(speaks in foreign language)

God damn it!

I said shut up!

(speaking in foreign language)

Shut up, damn it!

Are you gonna shut up?

- (speaks in foreign language) You mad.

Kill, kill, you happy.

She's nice and tall.

- Jewels.

(speaking in foreign language)

(smacking)

(speaking in foreign language)

Now I'm taking more than medals home from this war.

I know you know where those jewels are

of a dying German general, one of your partners.

Now you just nod your head yes.

Jewels, yes?

Jewels.

(gagging)

(whimpering)

We can't stop for Rapois.

That sucker's goin' to the house.

If we go this way, we could catch 'em.

- Why are you so sure he's gonna stop?

- For the papers!

- Thought you said the important papers

were in his briefcase?

- Are you questioning my orders?

(somber music)

Let's move out.

Come on, move out.

Back to German headquarters.

Move it, Tackney, go on!

General Heit!

I'm the only one left.

Share with me, and all three of us can make it.

General Heit.

(speaks in foreign language)

General Heit, we can be partners.

General Heit, we can be partners.

We can make a deal, General Heit.

I'm the only one left.

General Heit, we can be partners.

(speaks in foreign language)

(militant drumming)

- Captain Kohler!

Captain Kohler!

I accept your offer, Captain Kohler.

I accept your offer, Captain Kohler.

This no good, Captain.

- Hm.

I'll kill you first chance I get.

- Naturally.

(laughing)

(suspenseful music)

We should settle this like gentlemen.

- Sure.

(gun firing)

- Very attractive weapon, Captain,

but not very accurate.

(gun firing) (helmet clanking)

- Very good, General.

(gun firing)

Ooh.

(groans)

(exhales heavily)

(engine ignites)

Ah.

(Franklin coughing)

Listen and listen fast, Sergeant.

There are jewels in that ambulance,

enough to,

enough to let us live easy the rest of our lives.

That's what it's all about, Sergeant.

I knew it from the beginning.

Now, you help me,

you help me, Sergeant, and I'll share it with you.

What's the matter with you?

I said I'll share it with you.

Don't you understand?

I'm offering you half a million dollars.

You,

you God damn son of a bitch!

You stupid loser!

You...

(coughing)

(somber music)

(door creaks)

(gun firing)

(birds cawing)

- What do we do now?

(speaking in foreign language)

We'll give this back to the government,

you go to work in some damn whore house,

I get a medal and go home.

No, sir.

That ain't how it's gonna be.

I'm a German officer.

You're taking me to a hospital for a blood transfusion.

Blood transfusion, say it.

(speaking in foreign language)

I don't know what you said,

but it just might get us through.

- Yeah.

- Sure you can drive this thing?

- Oh yeah. (speaks in foreign language)

- Let's go spend that money.
