take a run for it!

Come on lieutenant, it's your turn!

Come on! Come on over!

Riordan, Penelli, Peters.

Take off!

Taylor,

Villa, take off.

They've got him!

They've got him!

Lieutenant they got him,

they got him lieutenant!

Get in.

Get that jeep going!

Hold on colonel. It's

gonna be a rocky road.

Get this going!

Stop it! Stop it! Back it up!

Come on! Back it up!

- I can't lieutenant!

- Push pumping the gas, you gotta flood it!

C'mon Zwickley, let me have it!

Get out of there!

Man get down, they're

coming in three!

Not without colonel, I won't.

Head still flat and you

really fix us Zwickley!

Shut up, Montana.

Come on, help me push it.

Get in there endorsing her thirst.

- Come on!

- No, you can't risk it!

We can't risk loosing

that jeep. Come on!

On the double. Let's go.

Spread-out up there!

Next time lieutenant,

I think I'll take the train.

Hold it!

Hold it!

What's wrong?

It's mine.

There.

Take it easy. Can't panic the men.

We can't go on lieutenant.

We got to go back.

Less then an hour, we'll be inside our

own lines. Hang on to yourself.

But it's mine lieutenant... it's mine...

Mine.

Mines.

It's mines! It's mines! You got to...

Lewis! Stop!

You got to step back

behind your backs...

All right men, listen to me.

Don't panic. Stay loose. Don't run.

We're gonna move slow,

we're gonna get out of here.

Bury him.

Don't look at me, I won't do it.

Do what?

I haven't said anything yet.

You wanna give me Lewis's bed,

don't you? Well, I don't want the job.

I don't want my job either, but...!

Right now, I've got only 17 men.

14. Count 'em.

I'm one man.

Can't take care all of them.

Getting into the fight,...

I can only reach 4 or 5.

I need your help Montana.

I can't do it.

Just for an hour.

We'll get through these

woods and get to the hill.

If I go to work for you, who's gonna

take care of the colonel? Zwickley?

The colonel! For the last four hours

you've been talking about the colonel!

The colonel does this and

the colonel does that!

And when the colonel washes,

who's gonna wipe the colonel's...

I'm not in your army and

you are not in mine.

It's all right sir. It's all right!

Don't worry sir.

His heart's beating like puppies!

Take it easy now sir.

I'll go to work for this character.

Just I can't help it.

We take the left flank,

stay about 50 feet ahead.

Human mind sweeper. Real great!

I'll take the same job on the right.

Left flank, follow Montana.

Right flank, follow me.

Somebody's got the eye on me.

Where?

I don't know. I can't see him.

Forget it.

Shoot him! Shoot him!

Don't shoot, you'll hit 'em both

I want to see you bastard!

Don't shoot him Montana.

Don't shoot him!

It's the UN leaflet,

he wants to surrender.

Give him cigarette Montana.

Lighter.

What are you tryin' to prove?

That you're human.

Ask him why he surrendered?

He says he's sick. Doesn't

wanna fight anymore.

He's lying lieutenant.

Well, there is one way to

find out if he's lying.

Now walk 50 feet ahead of us through the

minefield. His beat'll tell us the truth.

Put the men into the single column. Tell

them to follow in the prisoners footsteps.

- This is home.

- Yap.

- That's Hill 465, isn't it?

- Yeah.

You see any of our men up there?

Do you see anything up there?

But how can we be sure?

We have to find out who's up there.

They're sending the

prisoner up the hill, sir.

Scratch one prisoner.

They killed him. Must

be our men up there.

Looks like we made it.

G.I.!

Americans!

Hey, what regiment are you guys from?

We made it!

- Come down!

- We made it!

Hey guys, what are...

- They're fake! They're fake!

- What?

Enemy.

How about that?

Ain't that a killer?

You're right Montana.

You're always right.

How did you know?

I knew.

You couldn't see their faces.

I can smell 'em.

But you couldn't see their faces.

The sun was behind their back,

I couldn't see their faces.

- So what! I was right! Wasn't I?

- They might of been three Americans.

You not sure, shoot

first or die first!

Get out of here Montana.

Go back to your colonel

and get him out of here!

Unload the jeep and

take it with you. Fast!

Shake.

God help us! It takes your

kind to win this war.

Well, don't think it hasn't been fun.

Cause it hasn't.

Throw it away.

I just thought maybe I could fix it sir.

Might run into a hot line someplace...

or I could hook up to battalion.

Battalion!

The battalion doesn't exist.

Regiment doesn't exist.

Command HQ doesn't exist.

USA doesn't exist.

They don't exist Riordan,

we'll never see 'em again.

Don't say that sir.

That's true.

I know what is. But it

scares me when you say it.

We are the only ones

left to fight this war.

We're still alive, and we

can fight if we have to.

We got a jeep full of

ammunition and weapons.

Before you fight you gotta think.

And I can't think anymore.

I'm sure if there's any way

to do it you'll find it.

Well how do I do it Riordan?

How do I do it?

How do I take a hill with 12 men?

I don't know. But if there is a way

I'm convinced you'll find it sir.

Now we got no choice.

We got no place to go.

Tell Ackerman and Maslow...

go out and spot what they can.

- Tell them not to get in the fight.

- Yes sir.

- Be back in 30 minutes.

- Right.

And unload the jeep.

You know you'll never take

that hill with 12 men...

lieutenant.

Thanks for telling me.

All right now, listen:

To take that hill we got to knock

out those two gun emplacements.

Go on straight ahead,

the one on the left.

We split into the two groups.

Riordan will take one.

Penelli.

Christianson.

Meredith and Zwickley.

Penelli you and Zwickley,

you handle the bazooka.

Wait a minute.

Zwickley, you better stay

back and run the ammo.

Meredith you help

Penelli with the gun.

Lieutenant, I wanna do it.

I've got to do it.

All right. We'll attack in...

5 minutes.

Take off.

We gonna make it sir.

You and me. Back to the States.

We've had our share of action.

Maybe we could get transferred

to the nice quiet base in the

pine trees of Virginia.

I'd like that sir.

They think we are running

out on them sir... but we've

but we've had our share of action.

They don't know what

we've been through sir.

I sure get lonely

talking to myself sir.

I sure wish you could talk.

I miss hearing you call me son.

Yeah, I miss that sir.

You're the only man ever call me that.

From you sir it sounds real.

As if... as if you are my father.

Get the bandage out of there.

Wrap it around me.

4-5 times.

Davis, take your B.A.R.

but half way up the hill.

Get the plenty of ammo.

Keep firing, don't stop.

Fire about 10 yards ahead of me.

You want have any

trouble seeing me.

No. I won't having any trouble seeing

you. Neither will the Gooks.

I can't be helped.

We still got 4 minutes.

Let's go.

Fire!

- Lieutenant's been hit!

- Let's get him! Cover!

Let's get out of here!

Hey, you're coming to colonel?

Try the other arm sir.

That's great sir. You're
