Anything else, sir?

I guess not. All right, we'll be

with the generals at headquarters.

From now on, you're on your own.

So take off and good luck.

Let's move!

All right, split up into three groups.

These two belong to you?

Where's General Worden?

Well, he's gone to check up

in the field, sir.

Oh, my God.

-Well?

-Be with you in a minute, sir.

-Well, how about this one?

-Yes, sir. I think that's it, sir.

Oh, that's excellent,

Haskell, excellent!

Come on, let's go.

-We made it.

-Where are the others?

coming over that ridge soon.

be coming fast then.

The enemy is gonna lay a live barrage on

that ridge at 0850. Did you know that?

Yes, sir, I knew that.

But that's the one direction Colonel

Breed won't be looking for them.

-Are they all set?

-All set, sir.

Batteries one, three and four,

open fire and continue at will.

Batteries one, three and four,

open fire and continue at will.

Batteries one, three and four--

Ready!

Aim!

Fire!

Come on!

Let's go! Come on!

Load!

Now, come on!

-While they're reloading!

-Let's go!

-Down! Can't you hear it?!

-Hit it!

Secure guards!

All right, let's go!

Let's go.

Now, what the hell were you

guys waiting for?

What do you m--?

Mean, boy?

Those lovers were trying

to kill us back there.

Change.

Change? What do you mean, "change"?

You can't do that!

It's all right, major.

We're gonna change back later.

They can't stop us now.

Let's go.

Come on.

We're on our way.

We get across this road, take 10.

What are we waiting here for?

For a jeep, a heavy machine gun

and four men.

Like this one?

Slow down.

Ten-hut!

Good afternoon, general.

The Mafia has landed!

-Whatever Franko says, Franko does!

-Machine gun.

Let's get it out. Move it out.

-Come on, snap it up.

-Franko, out!

Out? What do you mean, "out"?

-Who do you think stole this thing?

-You did, my boy.

Look, you and Pinkley are the only guys

that Colonel Breed got a good look at.

This operation is a big enough risk

without you coming along.

-Out.

-Come on, Franko.

Jefferson, you have until 0930

to show up with the ambulance.

You don't make it,

I'll figure you got nailed.

-Then we'll take a whack at plan B.

-Right.

So long, major.

Hold on, Maggott.

Don't want to lose you now.

Attention!

Attention.

Ten-hut!

-Morning, Breed.

-Morning. Quite a surprise.

-Everything under control?

-I think you could say that, sir.

Good, good.

At ease, gentlemen, at ease.

Just thought I'd drop by to see

how things are shaping up.

So this is what it looks like, huh?

Come on, push!

-Posey, remember, you're hurt.

-Oh, I'm dying.

Come on, Maggott.

Stand back, now.

-What's that?

-Over there!

-What was that?

-Down the road, sir. See that smoke?

-Sergeant, have somebody take a look.

-Yes, sir.

-What are they doing around that ridge?

-I don't know, sir.

That should've been cleared

half an hour ago.

Now, colonel, it sure doesn't look like

it's been cleared, does it?

Let's go.

-Posey, remember, you're injured.

-Gilpin, you forgot the ketchup.

-Help!

-Come on.

Sir?

We got a man that's hurt bad.

We'd like to call an ambulance.

Call an ambulance.

Go see what happened.

-Yes, sir. Come on, you two.

-Private?

-Come here.

-Yes, sir.

What were you doing on that road?

Our jeep got a flat tire.

We went into a ditch.

I didn't ask you that. I asked you

what you were doing on that road.

Spotting for the Field Artillery, sir.

Let's see that map.

Move Able, Charlie Company to. . .

. . .the bridge under smoke screen.

Baker Company bank towards

the ridge at 1420 hours.

-Private. Come here.

-Yes, sir.

What's your name and outfit?

Private Matthew Donald, sir.

Serial number 726256.

Battery B, 526th Field Artillery, sir.

-Where are your orders?

-Right here, sir.

From Captain Thornhill, sir.

I know most of the men

under my command.

But I don't recall seeing you before.

No, sir.

I was transferred in last week, sir.

We're getting congested at point B.

Two forces have mined the road.

-Where's Peterson?

-Here it comes!

Clear the way!

Looks like somebody got hurt.

Watch it there!

Okay, let's have some help

with this soldier.

Count of three, lift. One, two, lift.

Take it easy now.

-Where do we put him, sir?

-Put him there.

-You can stay, but keep out of the way.

-Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

Sorry, but this is the end

of the line for you.

But we got a bad accident

down here, sir.

That's too bad, because you just

became prisoners of war.

It's the enemy, sir!

All right, come on, let's go.

Let's go, let's go.

They can't do that.

You're wearing Red Force insignia.

That's right. We're traitors.

-Watch my finger.

-They use real bullets, you idiot!

Now, look here, I'm a doctor, major.

And I'm a major, captain.

Yes, sir, but we had a radio message.

There's a man badly hurt down there.

Hurry it up!

Here's our permission to cross

all lines and roadblocks.

Very cute idea, captain.

But it won't work. Get out.

But it's not a gag, sir.

There's a real casualty there.

All set back here, Jefferson.

Sir, will you explain

the rules to him?

The man may be dying.

I'm just an observer, captain,

not an umpire.

I can't interfere

or make any rulings.

Come on, doc,

I've got a sick tree back here.

Come on, you too.

She's blond, she's engaged.

Come on, sugar!

-Got your bracelet right here.

-What's the matter?

Come on, Little Red Riding Hood.

You're really gonna enjoy this.

How about this patient, huh, doc?

You're really gonna enjoy it here, doc.

Come on, men. What about 0930?

All right, take out the blue bands.

Let's go!

Change to the blue armband!

What about the prisoners?

Sorry, major. We can't spare any men

to look after prisoners.

You coming?

-Is he trying to kill us?

-We must be going 120.

He's gonna squash us

in this sardine can.

You want to be there by 0930,

don't you?

Yeah.

--pulling back the map reference,

That's Blue Force crew.

Call in company orders and hit them

when they reach crossroads.

Hello, Able 3.

Don't worry, Bill. They called

for the ambulance.

-It's gonna be all right.

-Yes, it will.

It's gonna be all right.

I want a strike on Hill 80

between them at 1400 hours.

Move them up to the base of the hill

and keep their heads down.

Well, thanks very much, colonel.

It's been very instructive.

I think I'll take a little ride now

and get the overall picture.

Yes, sir, thank you.

Move it over. Give them room.

Forward observation report.

Blue Force tanks approaching. . .

. . .airfield at map reference--

Out of the way!

Out of the way!

Come on.

Watch out for the ambulance!

There he is. The old man.

Come on, observers!

Major Reisman's compliments, sir.

Hey, major. What do you think

about that one, major?

I didn't wanna tell you before because

I thought it might make you nervous.

After our last little party,

the generals were all in favor. . .

. . .of sending you back to finish

your sentences.

-Or get hung.
