Red Dog 2, calling Sunrise 6.

Come in, Sunrise 6.

This is Red Dog 2, calling Sunrise 6.

Come in, Sunrise 6.

Come in, Sunrise 6.

Red Dog 2, calling Sunrise 6.

Come in, Sunrise 6.

Come in, Sunrise 6. Come in!

Is it still there?

The hill? Yeah, it's still there.

Sure wish we were there.

Man, don't you ever

sleep lieutenant?

What do you want?

You told me to wake you at 0500.

Yeah, get battalion Headquarters.

I've been trying to get

battalion all morning,

I can't get nothing out

of that air but Korean.

We can't lose contact.

We're surrounded.

You gotta make contact.

Try it again.

Maybe we lost the Hill...

maybe there ain't no battalion...

maybe they're all dead.

No, they gotta answer.

Otherwise, we're all dead too.

Try it again.

Yes sir.

Red Dog 2, calling Sunrise 6.

Red Dog 2, calling Sunrise 6.

Come in, Sunrise 6.

Why don't you get some sleep?

Come in! Come in!

Hmm, must be going bats.

I swear I heard somebody out there near

the vine. You didn't hear nothing, did you?

Hey, come on, come on, wake up boy.

It's your turn, Hannon. You low bez!

I've been out there 4 hours.

I gotta get some sleep!

Come on boy! Here!

Here you are Irish, breakfast in bed!

Hey, come on, come on.

Lieutenant!

Benson!

Stay down! Keep quiet!

Dead?

Aah, the poor son of a...!

It's not a bullet hole, that's a knife or

bayonet. What were you doin' Lewis, sleepin'?

No, I was up on a bank. They must of

come around me. I didn't hear a thing.

Get his poncho and cover him up.

Hey, where's his poncho?

Where's his rifle?

He wouldn't lose his rifle!

That's why they jumped him. We're

short of men, we're short of guns.

They walked right through us. You

can't hear a thing. They're like cats.

He died just the same, though.

They must be all around us

and listening right now.

Cut it out Lewis! Cut it out!

Hold your fire!

Hold your fire!

You'll lose your head

Lewis, I need you!

Since our medic was killed,...

you and Riordan are the only

veterans I've got on this platoon.

I'm sorry.

Come on, get something to eat.

You think his...

folks might wanna have his glasses?

Lieutenant, we're gonna get out of this.

Aren't we lieutenant?

How you doin', Killian?

I'm not!

It's hopeless!

You can't fail me now, sergeant!

They told me you're the best

mechanic this side of the Hudson.

I told you that sir?

No kiddin' lieutenant. The

drive shaft's gone. Busted!

Aah, then we are really cooked.

The battalion said to get the hill 465...

on the double.

What's the hurry? It's a long war.

It seems we took a beating yesterday

the other side of the Naktong river...

they murdered us with

their regiment of tanks.

The whole division retreated

before we got here on the flanks.

We're surrounded!

We got to get to that hill

before we're cut off for good.

- You mean, division's back there?

- Division is where?

Hill 465.

The only place we are gonna

hold the peninsula...

and we are gonna hold it.

This a... this can't be fixed, ha?

No chance sir.

All right Davis, unload the truck. Be

sure you get all the ammo. Parcel it up.

Each man carries his share.

It's too much lieutenant. How far

can we march with a load like that?

All the way to Hill 465.

Sir, that stuff'll break our backs!

You can fix a broken back,

but you gotta be alive to do it.

For God sake work fast and quietly.

This place is crawling with the enemy.

Yes sir.

Killian, when Davis is through,

you run the gas out

and set fire to it.

Burn everything we can't carry.

Get Zwickley to help you.

Zwickley? He's sick sir.

Sick!

This war you're either healthy, or dead.

- Zwickley.

- Aye, Killian.

How do you feel kid?

I feel fine.

You sure, no fever?

- You better take some APC's.

- I don't want 'em.

Take them anyway. Take two.

It can't do you any harm.

You think I'm sick?

You'll feel better soon

as you start marchin'.

I... I don't think I can march.

What? What do you

mean you can't march?

Sure you gotta march. You can't seat here

and wait till they come down and kill you?

- I'm gonna ride in the truck.

- You can't ride in the truck kid.

Well, you're gonna fix it, I know you

gonna fix it. You're gonna fix it.

I can't fix it. I tell you honest.

It's no good. You've

gotta march kid.

Tell me, what am I gonna do,

what am I gonna do?

- Come on, I'll help you carry your stuff.

- I don't want you to help me!

- Why do you have to help me?

- Some people need help, that's all!

- But why do I need help?

- Because, you just do.

Now, c'mon.

Let's get out of here.

They didn't taste like...

Spread-out!

Open it up! Move on up there.

Keep your heads down!

Look to the left.

Look to the right.

Don't look down, if you

hear a sound, shoot.

It's the enemy.

All right, spread-out.

I saw something, it's

coming towards us.

Hit the deck. Take cover!

C'mon Lewis, let's go!

What's up lieutenant? Indians?

You tell me!?

Gooks or Americanos?

What's the difference...

as long as we get that jeep.

Going right to the open field like that!

Who ever they are, they must be nuts.

Nice drivin' like he is.

Can you make him out?

Wait, he's turnin'. He's

gonna come right by us!

Not by us sergeant. To us!

Maybe our luck is changing.

- He's not gonna stop lieutenant!

- Oh yes he is!

Where do you think you are?

Times Square?

Lieutenant Benson, sir! 2nd

platoon, Dog Company, 34th.

Sorry to force you to stop like this

sir, but I got a situation here.

Sir...

Can't you take a hint man? Don't you see,

the colonel can't be bothered with you.

Gotta get back to Hill

465, about 15 miles.

Our truck is wreck and with the

load we get, we can't make it.

If we had this jeep, we could

get where we're needed.

You got a cigarette?

For the colonel.

- What's the matter with him?

- Nothing.

- Was he hurt?

- He doesn't wanna talk to you, that's all.

It's nothing in regulations says that the

colonel has to talk to four-bit lieutenant!

All right, sergeant.

Get out of there.

I take my orders from the colonel, sir.

Turn off that motor.

I guess I can't do two

things at once, ha?

Now get out of that jeep.

State your name and rank!

Name's Montana, rank is

sergeant First class.

- Where is your outfit?

- Who knows?

Why'd you get lost?

Lost? Who's lost? I'm not lost!

They're lost, not me!

- What happened?

- We got clobered the other side of Naktong.

400 wiped out. I said, I gotta get myself

out of here, they are trying to kill me.

The Naktong river is 40 miles from here.

Where do you think you're going?

We licked the war's over, the

colonel and me are going home.

My wife and three kids

might agree with you.

But not yet sergeant,

not quite yet.

What the hell is this?

He get spells, I didn't

want him to fall out.

He's sick, ha?

He's alright, leave him alone!

We're gonna take the jeep.

You can't! I got to

get him to Pusan.

Can't you see he's shaking up?

A mine blew up next to him.

Don't you see the way he is?

He's hurt inside his skull.

But he'll be alright as soon
