-Oh, yeah?

-Who scored?

-Terry scored a goal.

Fantastic. What's the score?

Four to one. But at least

we scored a goal, one time.

We're doin' good. It's gonna be all right.

Way to go, guys.

What's happening?

All right, we're getting out of here.

How?

Our escape has been arranged

all the way to the Seine River.

Once we get on the other side,

we're gonna blow the tunnel.

There's a boat waiting for us

and in one hour we'll be in the country.

All right?

Salut.

Vite. Vite.

Vite. Vite. Vite.

Colby, you take the lead off,

I'll bring up the rear.

Okay. Get Luis and Pieter.

-I don't want to go.

-Just shut up and get in there.

We can beat them.

Bring Pieter over.

We've still got a chance.

Chance, my ass.

Hatch, don't you see?

You nuts or somethin'?

You have no chance.

Don't you understand? No chance.

Get Pieter ready next.

Hey.

Come on, let's go.

Don't worry. Come on. Hurry.

I don't want to go.

Let's go back. We can win this.

-Who said that?

-I did.

It's not as though

we're being slaughtered, Skipper.

What do you mean, we can win?

-Wait a minute.

-Colby, we're losin' time.

You mean you'd go back

and play the second half?

Move. We've only got a few minutes.

Yes, but we could win this.

You could never, with me as the goal.

Of course, we can.

He's not a bad goalie, is he?

What's the matter with you?

You want to go back to prison?

-Come back, we need you.

-That's right.

You guys do what you want,

but I'm leavin'.

-You're quitting.

-I ain't goin' back to prison.

You've got to come back. If you don't--

-I waited too long to get out.

-If you don't come back, we can't go.

Hatch, if you go,

we've all got to go with you.

We can't go back without the goalie.

-Hatch, come on.

-Hatch.

Please, Hatch.

That game means a lot to us.

You know that.

You must go back.

-Hatch, let's go.

-Please.

We can win.

Come on.

If we run now, we lose more than a game.

Please, Hatch.

Good luck, Hatch. Good luck.

Come on, lads, let's get 'em.

The Allies are playing above themselves.

Throwing everything into

a desperate attack.

Very quickly the Allies have come back

with a goal.

And it's four to two.

Come on, run with it.

Right tackle, Roy.

Fifteen minutes remaining

of this incredible game...

...and you won't see many

better than this.

A marvelous game.

We anticipated it, and so far, it's a sizzler.

The Germans are in top form.

Get lost.

Get me in there. Break fast.

The goal has been disallowed. No goal.

The goal has been disallowed.

What do you mean, no goal?

That's a bloody lie.

That's a bloody lie.

All right lads, we've been had.

This game has had all the drama.

An equalizing goal not allowed...

...so the Allies are still behind

three goals to four.

I want to play.

-You can't play like that.

-I feel good. I feel better.

-I must play.

-Ref, he's coming back on.

I'm okay.

...into the football festival

and only four minutes remaining.

-All right, lads, let's go.

-They're all very crucial.

The Germans are powerful,

and very strong.

Stick with him, boy.

Victory. Victory.

Victory. Victory.

Victory. Victory.

Victory. Victory.

Victory. Victory.

Victory. Victory.

Victory. Victory.

Victory. Victory.

Victory. Victory.

Victory. Victory.

And so we're ready to pick up

where we left off in the action.

Very good, keep going.

And Schmidt, one of the best goalkeepers

in the world...

...showing us again

that he's not lost any of his skills.

About a minute remaining.

Schmidt left foots it down the field.

The Germans have a lovely ball.

It's Baumann. Baumann is...

...brought down in the penalty area.

The referee responds and rightfully so.

A deliberate foul by Ray

as the clock runs out.

And the penalty collects.

And at the very end of the game

they've resorted to fouling.

What a sad way to end this game.

This is not fair.

Come on, Hatch. Come on.

Victory. Victory.
