The Green Berets Page #7

Trouble.

Won't need that anymore.

No.

But he took them all with him...

...or they wouldn't have left this!

Form the burial detail.

Yes, sir.

There it is.

It's your baby. We can never

get back here before daybreak.

What do you think?

- It'll make a nice mess.

- How many men will you need?

- Doc and two of Colonel Cai's men.

- You got them.

If we don't get back

by 1100 tomorrow...

...you blow it.

Head for the rendezvous.

- Good luck.

- Thank you.

Move out.

How come you like

blowing things up so much?

When I was a kid

my dad gave me a chemistry set...

...and it got bigger than both of us.

The waiting's over.

No escort.

You all know your jobs.

Remember...

...we don't go back without the general.

Not one of us.

Question?

Move out.

Wait here.

Wine?

Later.

Come on.

There are two guards on the porch.

I'm ready for them.

- Where's the lady?

- Right here.

Here.

Watch his leg.

Get him in there.

Nearly finished?

What next?

Wait.

Roadrunner...

...this is Bulldog. Over.

Bulldog, this is Roadrunner. Over.

How's the traffic?

Traffic is scarce this early in the

morning. Everything's set.

How will you evade?

We have spotted motorcycle.

We'll be there in seven minutes.

Do you read me?

Right. Out.

We're as ready as we'll ever be.

Go ahead, Doc. Here.

Take him!

Hit it!

What the hell?

What happened?

- I caught one.

- The first aid kit!

No, not now! Five minutes,

this road will be like downtown.

Let's get out of here, Sarge.

- Get him out of the way.

- Release the brake.

- Two minutes to lift-off, Colonel.

- Move out.

You better stay here.

Stay there.

Colonel, there's the plane.

Inflate.

Take the rear.

Let's get out of here.

Sir, could I have a choice?

Yeah, you can have a choice.

- I'll take the point.

- I said you have a choice.

Yes, sir, that's why

I'm taking the point.

We're close to that rendezvous area.

You better...

...get out there ahead

and see what's waiting for us.

Relax.

- She's your sister-in-law.

- She is.

Her whole future, her self-respect...

...everything is in your hands.

It isn't that I...

Thank you, Mike.

You're a brave woman.

No, just a woman praying

that her family will forgive her.

There is nothing to forgive.

Thought you'd never get here.

Choppers are coming up the valley.

Where's Doc?

Caught one in the back,

but he's going to be all right.

Let's get the Colonel.

The LZ is a meadow just over that rise.

Let's move out!

Bastards!

Move out.

You heard him, let's go!

Can you tell me what area's

designated as offloading ramp today?

Last pad over, next to the water.

See that runway over by the beach?

That's where your Peter-son's

going to be coming in.

You take care of yourself.

Thank you.

- Mister, you Beckworth?

- That's right.

If you want to go where the war is,

this is the way.

- Who's that for?

- I don't know, boy.

Wait until the choppers

are down, son.

Colonel, I got a jeep for you

and Mrs. Cai.

Successful mission, Mike.

But very costly.

Is there a Petersen here?

Must be in another chopper, sonny.

Not here.

Medic!

- What happened?

- It's Doc, Hamchunk.

He's going to be all right.

There's none of them

left in here, sonny.

This is one job

I don't envy you, Colonel.

You always knew

it could happen, didn't you?

But I didn't want it to.

None of us did.

Was my Peter-son brave?

He was very brave.

Are you going to be?

I'll try.

I know you will.

And I'm sure that...

...your Peter-son...

...would want you to have that.

What will happen to me now?

You let me worry about that,

Green Beret.

You're what this is all about.

Back at home, a young wife waits

Her Green Beret has met his fate

He has died for those oppressed

Leaving her this last request

Put silver wings on my son's chest

Make him one of America's best

He'll be the man they'll pick one day

Have him wear the Green Beret
