Saints and Soldiers Page #4

I did.

But I fell asleep.

Then Deacon

didn't let anybody go.

Yes, I did.

What?

Come on,

what'd you wanna do, Gundy?

Take him with us?

No, I wanted to shoot him,

remember?!

What where you thinking?

I made a trade.

Rudy told me that the weather's

pretty much shut down

all movement on either side.

And that Manhay is in the middle

of some of the heaviest

fighting right now,

so we wouldn't be able to get

Winley through anyway.

But he also said

that an unknown number

of Germans are making a push toward

this little town, Longin.

That's less

than six kilometers away.

Right.

Those are our nearest boys.

I think we can make it

through to them.

Yeah, sure.

Through a fully armed Kraut division.

We sneak through.

I like it.

I don't love it, but I like it.

And with our full arsenal of

two pistols and a bolt-action.

Kendrick...

you check the back of that rig?

It's not much,

but we gotta make it count.

It's outta gas.

The tank's empty.

All right.

Run it as far as you can

on fumes and then ditch it.

Take some grenades.

What kind of name is Oberon?

It's from Shakespeare.

You ever heard of him?

Yeah.

What kind of a name is Shirl?

It's short for Shirley.

Shirley.

Yes, Shirley.

Don't get me wrong--

I love the name Shirley.

In fact, it's my mother's name.

You trying to get us killed?

Is that what you think?

Marching through enemy lines--

there's no danger there.

Yeah, well, it seems like

the right thing to do.

We die trying.

Yeah, maybe.

Of course, if someone killed

a bunch of innocent

women and children

this might be a real great way

to make up for it, right?

Is that what your

little Bible tells you?

Huh?

Is this your penance?

You know what?

Here.

What?

Take it.

I can get another one.

I don't want your book.

Really?

'Cause with all your questions,

you seem awful curious.

Get back in formation.

Let's take 'em.

Or not.

We lay low,

keep moving.

That's good thinking, Kendrick.

What are we,

about a mile from Longin?

Sounds about right.

All right, sun's starting

to peek through.

Let's go, boys.

How you doing?

All right.

You know, this really is

beautiful country.

Yeah, I knew you liked her.

I think I want to learn French.

Gunderson!

No!

Stay with me, Gundy.

Gundy!

Gundy, I'm comin'.

Breathe, breathe!

No...

Help him!

He's dead.

No, he's not.

Deac--

He can't...

Look...he's gone.

Come on, we've gotta go.

We've gotta go--now.

All right, come on.

Come on.

Come on.

C'mon, Winsley, let's go.

I can't.

Kendrick, go see if we're

still being followed.

Go to hell, Gould.

Now!

You go!

Or you too worried

about saving your own skin?

I'll go.

No, you're not going anywhere.

Deacon!

Deac!

They're still all over the place.

What do we do now?

We're gonna get shot out here.

We need to find a place

I can work on him.

Can he move?

Yes.

Yes, I can move.

All right, follow me.

Deacon.

Huh?

I need your help.

Put your fingers in here--

when I open the wound,

push the muscle aside.

Don't scream.

Okay.

It's all right.

Doing all right, doing good.

Open it a little further.

I'm trying.

I got it.

Come on. Almost done.

I got it.

Ugh. That's it.

All right, I got it.

You're gonna be fine.

Hold still, hold still.

Hang in there, Winley.

You're not gonna bleed to death.

We'll take you to an aid station.

Shhh!

Krauts.

Let's go!

Here.

Heads up!

Come on! Move!

Come on!

Triples on the right flank!

I've got it!

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Kesndrick, get Winley outta here!

Yeah, go!

All right, ready?

Move, move!

Grenade! Move, move, move!

C'mon!

Come on.

I got him.

Stay with me, stay with me.

We're gonna make it.

We're gonna make it.

Shhh...

Get out. Go.

Fire in the hole.

Come on, Hickey. Hang on.

Gould will be here in a second.

Just hang on.

Help...

Just hang on, hang on!

I'm sorry.

Go!

Where are they?

Right there.

Winley!

Winley!

Where is he?

There.

Winley! Winley!

Winley!

Winley! Come on.

Winley. Winley, hang on.

Winley, come on.

Say something!

Right here.

I can't swim.

Is that your big secret?

Where's Kendrick?

Kendrick's dead.

We gotta get these clothes off of him.

So what now?

I don't know.

How's your German?

All right.

The German line's about

a half mile up that way.

This road will take us

straight through the clearing.

Our boys are dug in on the other side.

We ready?

We get Winley through...

save some lives.

That's the idea.

I hid.

I didn't sign up.

I tried to dodge the draft.

But my father came and found me.

Is that your big secret?

Huh.

Did you get that, Winley?

Gould, cover up those weapons.

All right, Winley.

Look sick.

Hang on.

Go! Go! Go!

What's going on?

I can't tell.

I think they're trying to make a push.

There's a jeep coming

from right over there.

Better get the Sarge on the radio.

Let me see.

Foxtrot 2-9er calling Foxtrot 0-2.

We got a jeep coming

from out of nowhere. Over.

Out.

That's one of our jeeps.

But that's a Gerry flag on the hood.

What are they trying to do?

I don't know what you

got in mind, Gerry.

But it ain't gonna happen.

The flag! Now!

Get it!

Hang on a second!

American!

What is it?

We got two Krauts coming in,

right there.

You okay?

They're shooting at each other.

You know what,

I think the boys are ours.

Let's give them some cover fire.

Cover fire!

Into the trees, on me.

I'm out! I'm out!

You take Winley and go,

and I'll cover you.

No, I'm not going to leave you!

You go now!

No!

I'll be right behind you.

You saved my life.

Be at peace, Deacon.
