than fighting with knives.

A legionnaire is shown

how to use all his tools

As a potential weapon... Knife, club...

Chin up, Preach.

Hands, feet, anything

that can kill a man.

Foreign Legion have a unique

way of using the knife,

As you can see, Captain Picault

here is going to show you a few.

Sergeant, you're with the Lieutenant.

With pleasure.

You ready?

Yep.

Been waiting for this.

I got, Preach, he wasn't very good.

That leaves you and me, kid.

I don't like you.

I know.

You are gonna get us all killed.

Is that right?

Yeah, that's right.

I'm not gonna stop.

I don't want you to

stop, I want you to fight.

You hear me?

I need you to be a soldier.

It's the only way

you're gonna stay alive,

You understand me, huh?

Yes, sir.

Aug.

Hey, good job.

These legit, sir?

Yes, they are.

I had 'em made.

Great, patches of death.

They're not patches of death,

Preach, it's our new insignia.

Listen up.

Division finally sent

through our orders...

Any idea what those are, sir?

All I can say is we're

going behind enemy lines.

You think we're ready, sir?

I know you're ready.

Are you ready?

Sergeant, if something

should happen to me

Or any of us while we are over

there, some of these men might

Look to you for leadership...

don't let them down.

Get some rest, all.

Bright and early tomorrow morning.

No matter what FUBAR plan

he and Redding got cooked up,

Remember boys, I got your six, copy me?

Remember, officers

and orders, right, huh?

Let's go.

So, we see the Colonel tomorrow

Yeah.

Coffee?

Never liked coffee, strong and black.

It can never beat a nice Armagnac.

Yeah, yeah, I heard

something about that.

Better?

Mmm...

I haven't been this close

to home for five years.

Ten miles, down the main road,

make a right at the sawmill,

Keep the little stream on your left...

Beyond the hedges, there's home.

You miss it?

You gonna go back?

After all this?

The Germans conscripted

me against my will.

My mother, she begged me not to

go, but what choice did I have?

A few months passed by

and my family went missing,

Gestapo were the last

people seen at the house.

What happened?

They were found in a shallow

grave outside of town.

I'm sorry.

So, I ran from the German

army, joined the legion,

Killed as many of those

Nazi bastards as I could.

So, you think they're ready?

The men, yes.

I think so.

Well, we could always take

them on another little run

Through the forest.

That's a good idea.

We might end up with

a mutiny on our hands.

I think you're right.

Keep it, please, keep it.

Merci.

Merci, Captain.

Salut.

Gentlemen, any of you heard

of a German millipede gun?

No sir.

I believe it's one of Hitler's

crazy new wonder weapons.

Basically, it's a 300

foot barrel with 34 pairs

Of booster tubes sticking out the sides.

It makes it look like

it has stubby legs,

That's why we call it the millipede.

What does it do, sir?

Well, it's a high pressurized canon,

It can shoot a five foot artillery round

Hundreds of miles.

Division thinks they

had one fired on our boys

In Monte Casino.

How can they be sure, there's

been a lot of artillery

Dropped on Casino, sir?

Yeah well, they found a

round that didn't detonate.

Now this gun was tucked away

on the outskirts of Rome,

Hundreds of miles away.

A weapon this size

can take a steep hill.

Alsace is full of them.

Hill 314 suites that purpose.

Now these pictures were captured

by intelligence in Italy.

We believe it to be

components of the gun

Before its construction.

A weapon that size can

cause a lot of problems,

Kill a lot of people, sir.

Yeah, I want you boys

to find out if they're

Building this f***ing gun.

Yes sir.

Intelligence believes it's

being constructed right here.

Well, that's deep into

enemy territory, sir.

I trust that won't be a problem.

We can manage.

Listen, I know it won't be

easy to get in, or get out.

Never is, sir.

Just get us the information

and get your asses out of there.

Yes, sir.

Looks like Hitler is

going to build himself

A new super weapon.

Division wants us to go in and find it.

What does it do, sir?

It's called a millipede gun, soldier,

Pressurized canon that can

fire artillery over 100 miles.

Division believes they've located one.

Where is it exactly?

A place called Alsace-Lorraine.

Sir, that's quite a

ways behind enemy lines.

Yes, it is.

17.6 kilometers to be exact.

And we're going in on a hunch?

That is a possibility, yes,

But we follow orders,

don't we, Sergeant?

We're gonna get in, go find

it, we're gonna go home.

Go home, yes sir.

Good.

Are we gonna disguise

ourselves as Germans?

That's too dangerous.

You get captured

wearing a German uniform,

They shoot you on sight.

Listen, I'm not gonna lie to you...

It's not gonna be easy...

but I know you can do it.

You men are ready...

There's just one more

thing I need you to do.

Oh sh*t.

Decide who gets to drive.

It's funny... my wife

always wanted to see Germany.

Hey Moffatte, you'll see her again.

I promise you that.

You think this cannon is real?

Sounds like something

Hitler would dream up.

We wouldn't be out here

if it wasn't important.

The Sarg, you think he's right?

About what?

About the Lieutenant

getting us all killed.

Wosick is tough, but he's fair.

I think he knows what he's doing.

Shank's right.

Augie's got a big mouth,

I trust the Lieutenant.

I guess we'll find out.

It's about that time!

Keep your eyes peeled, soldiers.

We're in plain sight here.

Look for cover, soldier.

Copy.

Do you think they spotted us?

Probably.

The real question is, are

they gonna shoot at us?

Those are our planes.

Yeah.

Problem is, we are on the

wrong side of the line.

I don't want to become target practice.

What a way to go... ambushed

by our own air corps.

Change of plans, Captain,

we're going in on foot.

Everybody get their weapons.

If these points are right, we should...

Lieutenant, any idea where we are?

Yeah sure, behind enemy lines

About to find a real big gun, Sergeant.

Really?

Gun should be just over the

ridge, west of here, Hill 314.

We need two volunteers

for scouting patrol.

And who are the lucky/unlucky

bastards for that one?

Thank you, Sergeant,

you just volunteered.

These woods must be

crawling with German patrols.

I'd like to set up a defensive

perimeter around this road...

Just in case.

You got it, Captain.

Just don't engage unless you need to.

Don't let all of

Germany know we're here.

Understood.

I need one more

volunteer for this patrol.

I'll go.

You sure this is wise?

You coming?

Yeah, kid.

I guess I am.

Any orders, sir?

We need to get somebody up

on the bend of that road.

Yes sir.

Preach...

Captain needs somebody

on the road, you good?

Yeah.

See the bend in the road?

Get up there, find a low

position, look for movement.

If you see anything,

come back here right away.

Yeah, count on it.

Moffatte, bring any mines?
