Men in War Page #2

as I get him to a hospital.

Montana, lower that gun.

I know how you feel

about your colonel.

He's one man, we're 17.

It's a colonel's jeep.

We tag him along.

Better get that cigarette.

I don't see that knife Montana, because

if I did, I'd have to shoot you.

You still don't understand! If I don't get

the colonel to the hospital, he'll die.

You want me to shoot you,

is that what you want?

Go ahead, shoot!

It's this way Montana,

you're expendable.

You and colonel here took yourself out of

the war, but my men aren't expendable.

Now, put that knife away.

Help me get the colonel

out of the jeep.

He can't walk. How Am I suppose

to get him to the hospital?

Carry him.

Here, you'll need this.

Hey, aboard on it!

All right men, don't bunch up.

Davis, prep him up.

Riordan, you stick with me.

How do you feel now?

I feel better.

That's good.

Ask the lieutenant to fetch

you a ride in the jeep.

How would you like that?

I'd like that.

But there is not enough room, there's

only room for the guns and the ammo.

You're more important than

the guns and the ammo.

Look!

How many times did I tell

you to keep your pot on?

Red Dog 2 calling Sunrise 6.

Come in Sunrise 6.

Come in!

I got him sir, I got him.

- Who?

- Captain Humphrey.

Humphrey? You son of a...

Who knocked him off?

Who fired?

Somebody shot him. Who was it?

It was me.

If I were you lieutenant,

I'd sit down.

Somebody out there heard you.

He's givin' you the finger.

What are you talking about, Montana?

You haven't been around much

lately, have you lieutenant?

He's not gonna hurt me.

These snipers...

they specialized at officers.

Alright, stand there. It's

your funeral, not mine.

I wish I'd get that snipers buddy.

He's sitting out there

now, watching us.

It's not healthy.

But how to find him,

that's the question.

Give me that phone.

What for, she won't work!

Right, stand up.

- Me? Right here?

- Right here.

- What are you doing?

- I'm perfectly safe.

40 yards, that sniper could

of shot me twice already.

He didn't want me, he wanted

to kill communications.

I wanna give him the second chance.

Now ain't you something.

Watch the grass.

Watch the bushes.

If you see any movement,...

fire, but fire high.

Don't kill him.

Scare him. I don't want the corpse.

I want live informations.

I wanna prisoner, you understand?

Hold your fire there! Hold it!

Don't shout him!

- What's the matter with you?

- What did I do? What did I do?

I told you I wanted a prisoner,

not garbage. Why did you fire?

- Instinct.

- I saw him, he had his hands on his head.

Alright, alright. These

Gooks, I don't trust them.

They carry pistols in their

hats, it's been known.

I changed my mind Montana.

We can use you.

You're not expendable.

You're not expendable at all.

Just don't forget I'm

fighting for the colonel.

Montana, go back and

relieve sergeant Killian,

for about 5 minutes.

He's rear security.

Tell him to hustle up

here and report to me.

Look, I'd just well stick close

to the colonel if you don't mind.

I do mind. Now get with it.

You don't trust me around the jeep? You

think me and colonel are gonna take off?

Address me as sir and

keep your mouth shut.

Emotional, are we?

- Get down! Get down!

- Where is Killian?

Snatch party.

Cover me.

Don't do it! It's murder out there.

They're waiting for you.

Do as I say.

Killian!

Where are you Killian?

What are you doing here?

I can't leave him. He was my friend!

He took care of me. I got to find him.

Stop it!

This is all you're gonna find.

You can't waste of time Zwickley.

Go back to the jeep.

Who's gonna take Killian's

place, is if I have to ask?

You.

Alright sir. Any further

instructions sir?

Stay 30 yards back.

Don't sit. Don't stop.

If you got to take

relief, take it moving.

Keep your safety off and your finger

on the trigger, so if they jump you,...

your gun will fire.

It's gonna be a real

live party, isn't it?

Look Montana, I'm in command here.

I don't want any more of

your decisions. Good or bad.

From now on, you don't talk,

you don't fire, you don't spit...

without my permission.

Alright sir.

- Got a cigarette Davis?

- Yeah.

- Montana gets under your skin, don't it?

- He's another gun.

Maybe. With his gun around

I feel safer. He's smart.

He's reckless and irresponsible.

That kind's gonna win us this war

lieutenant. Not you and me.

No, he fights alone,

he'll die alone.

I heard the noise.

If you don't recognize the noise fire at

you, you don't have to see him to kill him.

Go ahead sarge, they're all yours.

Go ahead man, they

are dead pigeons.

Any money you find, you can keep.

Any cigarettes or

candy, they're mine.

Can I drive the jeep now?

No.

I know your trouble. You

figured it wrong, didn't you?

You pulled me back to get knocked

off, only I didn't get knocked off.

Disappointed?

Talk to me lieutenant, sir.

Say something.

These Gooks are trouble, real trouble!

You gotta kill him twice.

What he'd say? Any important?

You savvy with this Korean, do you?

Up to now, you're late Montana.

He was reporting our position.

Come on! Come on!

Colonel!

Stay low there! Stay low!

- Should we run for it lieutenant?

- Get that head down. Don't get paniquee!

We are going right through this.

All you gotta fight is your own legs.

Make them carry you

beyond the range of fire.

Don't forget, we're heading for

chance for safety, diggin' n' rest.

That hill is only 6 miles from here.

We get through this

shelling, we are all right.

- Don't you think we ought to wait for dark?

- Not in the dark, now. They can't stop us.

- Let's get it over with!

- Don't panic!

Now listen and listen carefully.

They are firing in patterns of three.

So count three shells and run.

Two at the time.

I'll call of the names

alphabetically.

Ackerman... Christianson.

Wait! Wait for three shells, then you go.

Now!

Come on!

Come on Ackerman! Let's go!

Look, I feel the same way!

I wanna stay here. Leave me alone.

Ackerman, all I'm trying to do is

keep one man alive... just one.

To get through and report how the

rest of us got it. Maybe you're the one.

Ackerman, maybe you're the one.

Are you coming Ackerman?

Look,

I don't wanna go through alone.

Davis... Hannon!

- Hannon!

- He's dead sir.

Haines!

Lynch!

Lewis!

Lewis, come back here!

Come back here!

Maslow!

Montana!

Name's not Montana.

It's Williamette, Joseph R.

Meredith.

Don't walk, run. Count

three shells and take off.

Maybe they quit?

Maybe they're through.

We will see.

Wait.

How are you colonel?

How you feelin' sir?

Fire!

C'mon, fire.

Let's see... 3 shells.

3 times 3 is 9.

9, that's my lucky number.

Oh yeah? How about mine?

Your number rides up to 9 too.

We're safe as a church.

Do you see Villa over there... over there,

man, his number runs up to 5.

He doesn't have a chance.

But don't you tell him.

Don't worry, I won't.

This was a breeze.

Meredith, Maslow,
