00:11:17All he's good for is sweeping up the place.
00:11:20Oh.
00:11:22Good thing we didn't come back because he's
00:11:24never hit the shot.
00:11:25I don't know how he got in the army anyway.
00:11:29Because he couldn't hear the man when the man told him he was 4F.
00:11:37Hey, Crump. Yes, sir.
00:11:39Aren't you supposed to be on guard duty, man?
00:11:41Yes, sir, but I'm not the man anymore.
00:11:43Yeah, well, get on back out there. I'll send somebody to relieve you in a couple of hours.
00:11:55Man, what's the matter?
00:12:13Wallace, General Olden sent me here.
00:12:19You mean you need 20 men to wipe spit from the General's chin?
00:12:23Give me your radio.
00:12:25No chance.
00:12:27Watch your mouth, sonny.
00:12:29The radio's been broken for three weeks, and we don't have the parts to fix it.
00:12:33Well, there's one more way of going, so forget it.
00:12:37What would I need a radio for anyway? They'll tell us when to move.
00:12:41I'm telling you now.
00:12:43We've been in this stinking war for three years.
00:12:45We get our orders from General Smythe.
00:12:47We're the first to arrive and the last to leave, and we don't have our orders yet.
00:12:51You do now, mister.
00:13:01You've got to be kidding.
00:13:07What time do you want to move out?
00:13:090700.
00:13:110700.
00:13:13Good night, Captain.
00:13:21Alright, soldiers, let's go.
00:13:29Yee-haw!
00:13:31Alright, soldiers, up on it, up and at it.
00:13:33Come on, boy.
00:13:35Alright, it's time to go.
00:13:37Alright, come on. Get up out of there.
00:13:39Come on, soldiers.
00:13:41Everybody up. Formation, fall in.
00:13:43Time is now. Come on, let's go.
00:13:45Come on, big Jim.
00:13:47Everybody up. Come on, soldiers.
00:13:49Hey, Lewis, what's happening to George and Fuzzy?
00:13:51Alright, soldiers.
00:13:53Come on, get up out of there.
00:13:55Fuzzy!
00:13:57Go, Fuzzy.
00:13:59Alright, soldiers, fall in.
00:14:19Gentlemen, this is Captain Carter.
00:14:21He's got a few words he wants to say to you.
00:14:49Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:15:19Lieutenant, can I see you in your tent?
00:15:27At your pleasure, Captain.
00:15:29My pleasure is right now.
00:15:43Sit down, Wallace.
00:15:45No, thanks.
00:15:48This isn't a company.
00:15:50It's a circus.
00:15:52There ain't one man out there with a uniform.
00:15:55Only half of them has guns.
00:15:57The other half is a goatee.
00:15:59They won't even stand up straight.
00:16:02Ruin mother's memory.
00:16:04Am I supposed to get those men 40 miles into enemy territory?
00:16:07They can do it.
00:16:08How do you figure?
00:16:10They aren't even soldiers.
00:16:11They are soldiers, Captain.
00:16:13Bonafide members of the armed forces of the United States.
00:16:17A soldier fights.
00:16:18A soldier does what he is ordered to do.
00:16:20Every one of those men volunteered to fight, to die for his country.
00:16:24They've been here three years, Captain.
00:16:26Three years waiting to face a gun.
00:16:28You know where the orders have been, huh?
00:16:33This is a service company, Carter.
00:16:35Sanitation detail.
00:16:37Mess detail.
00:16:38Burial detail.
00:16:39Did you ever wonder what happens to those trenches once you leave, huh?
00:16:42Those stinking trenches that you can't stand to go near because they make you vomit?
00:16:47Bee company fills them up with lye and mud and then goes someplace else to dig another.
00:16:52Don't tell me they're not soldiers because they don't fight.
00:16:59Take a look.
00:17:01Come on, take a look.
00:17:05Tell me again, they're soldiers.
00:17:06They are.
00:17:08They're black men doing what they know how to do.
00:17:11The Army just gave them a job doing it.
00:17:16Well then, Mr. Carter, you and that dam are in pretty big trouble.
00:17:21I need seven men.
00:17:23You and six volunteers.
00:17:30You want me to choose six of my men so you can get them killed?
00:17:35I want six volunteers.
00:17:39You want to ask them?
00:17:41Or shall I?
00:17:50I'll ask them.
00:17:52But just for the record, I hope the first bullet hits you right between your big blue eyes.
00:18:03One, two, three.
00:18:06One, two, three.
00:18:09One, two, three.
00:18:12One, two, three.
00:18:15One, two, three.
00:18:18One, two, three.
00:18:24All right, all three step forward.
00:18:31These soldiers in the rear can fall out.
00:18:36The rest of you, we've got a job to do.
00:18:50Hey, Clark.
00:18:51What?
00:18:52Where are we going now?
00:18:53Boss said something about a dam.
00:18:57Who's the white fella?
00:18:58He says he's the captain.
00:19:00I heard the boss was giving it to each other a few minutes ago.
00:19:03What kind of dam?
00:19:04Why don't you two shut up?
00:19:06Ain't gonna be no dam.
00:19:07There's gonna be some more latrines.
00:19:10I seen Italian latrines, French latrines, and Belgian latrines.
00:19:15German latrines ain't gonna be no different.
00:19:17Right, Clark?
00:19:18Yeah, but we don't need no white man to tell us that.
00:19:20We don't need no white man at all.
00:19:25Hey, uh, Brightman, give me a cigarette.
00:19:28A what?
00:19:30A cigarette, man.
00:19:32Sure, sure.
00:19:42You still writing in that diary thing?
00:19:44Uh-huh.
00:19:45Only it's not a diary.
00:19:47It's more like a journal.
00:19:48About us.
00:19:50Let me see.
00:19:52No.
00:19:56You said it was about us.
00:19:59It is.
00:20:00I wanna see what you're saying about me, man.
00:20:02Let him be, Lewis.
00:20:06Shut up, Batman.
00:20:10Hey, man, I know what it says without even looking.
00:20:13Uh, it says, Private Lewis, A1 soldier in the U.S. Army.
00:20:18Plain old handily wears 35 dirty T-shirts without once holding his nose.
00:20:22You don't have no nose to hold.
00:20:27Hold it!
00:20:35All right, that's enough.
00:20:37Get your gear together.
00:20:38We move out in five minutes.
00:21:03Hey, Doc, you wanna keep this woman?
00:21:06It'll be safer with you.
00:21:08Sure, I'll keep it.
00:21:10When I wanna write some more, I'll get it from you.
00:21:12Okay.
00:21:14Boss says we move out in about five minutes.
00:21:19Think we'll get to see some action this time?
00:21:22Well, it had to happen sooner or later.
00:21:29July 23, 1944.
00:21:32We encountered heavy action today.
00:21:34Lost three men to enemy artillery.
00:21:37Company fought magnificently, killing 23 of the enemy before taking the machine gun nest.
00:21:46Lieutenant Wallace sighted three men, myself included, for bravery under fire.
00:21:52I am continually awed by the heroism of this company under the severest of battle conditions.
00:22:00I will receive the Medal of Honor at a ceremony when we reach Berlin.
00:22:05Hold it!
00:22:30Okay, let's move out.
00:22:59Let's go.
00:23:30Hey, soldier.
00:23:33Join the ranks.
00:23:35Sorry, Captain.
00:23:37My mind is quicker than my body.
00:23:40My mind don't know the walking soldiers.
00:23:42Yes, sir.
00:23:46Something amusing you, mister?
00:23:48Three years ago, I would have laughed anyone in the face who said I'd be in the Army today.
00:23:53Then why'd you join?
00:23:54Oh, a number of things.
00:23:56Duty, patriotism, stupidity.
00:24:00I thought it could be useful.
00:24:02Don't you work too hard, boy?
00:24:04Oh, no, sir.
00:24:06I love every minute of it.
00:24:11What do you do?
00:24:14What do I do, sir?
00:24:16What's your work?
00:24:18I am a cook, sir.
00:24:20A first-class cook.
00:24:23The Army needs cooks.
00:24:26Evidently.
00:24:44What's his name, Morris?
00:24:46Whose name?
00:24:47The soldier I was talking to.
00:24:49Hayes. Private Hayes.
00:24:52Seems to be smarter than the average foot soldier.
00:24:58He's a teacher.
00:25:00That a fact?
00:25:01Mm-hmm.
00:25:04What's he teach?
00:25:05Mechanical engineering?
00:25:07No, physics.
00:25:08What?
00:25:09Physics.
00:25:12Where?
00:25:14Howard University.
00:25:16University?
00:25:19Boom that beat off.
00:25:49You know how to use that thing?
00:26:03I've used it before.
00:26:04In combat?
00:26:06Yeah.
00:26:08I was in combat before I joined the Army.
00:26:11On 34th Street Division.
00:26:15That's an Harlem, baby.
00:26:19If you'd have come near me then, I'd have used it on you.
00:26:26Throw it.
00:26:28Where?
00:26:30In a tree.
00:27:45Set them down the road.
00:27:50Why don't you stay on the high ground?
00:27:52Use the trees for cover.
00:27:53They stay on the road.
00:27:55Farmhouse isn't far ahead.
00:27:57I don't like it, Captain.
00:27:59We save an hour this way.
00:28:14Okay.
00:28:23Down, down.
00:28:33Everybody get down!
00:28:34Down!
00:28:42Get down, you crazy fool!
00:28:44He can't hear you?
00:28:45He's deaf.
00:28:46Where is everybody?
00:28:47Captain's coming.
00:28:48Go get him!
00:28:57Go get him!
00:29:18Go get him!
00:29:44We saved an hour, Captain.
00:29:50Come on, help me bury him.
00:29:52Stay in time.
00:29:56Would there be time if he was white?
00:30:13Come on, buddy.
00:30:23Stop looking at him.
00:30:25He's just as dead if we bury him or not.
00:30:27Come on, let's go.
00:30:57Let's go.
00:31:19Let's go, please.
00:31:25Follow me.
00:31:56Let's go.
00:32:05London Bridge.
00:32:08Get down.
00:32:27Get him to the barn, back of the house.
00:32:50This place ain't much.
00:32:52At least it's softer than the ground.
00:32:56We have to spend all day here.
00:32:58This place stinks.
00:33:00Would you rather spend it outside?
00:33:04You can vave to the German patrols when they come by.
00:33:07There are many of them in this area.
00:33:09This is Frau Ranzig.
00:33:11Frau Ranzig.
00:33:13Become.
00:33:14Gentlemen.
00:33:15You.
00:33:16It's eine Gastfreiheit.
00:33:18Die Kompanie danke sehr, Frau Ranzig.
00:33:21Bitteschön.
00:33:22You speak that German stuff pretty good, doc.
00:33:24German Krunk is the language of physics.
00:33:27And Putin, Captain.
00:33:29The transmission will be at 1600.
00:33:31But if you need me, I'll be in the house.
00:33:33I hope you'll have a pleasant rest, gentlemen.
00:33:36We better check on the radio.
00:33:37I'll show it to you.
00:33:38Uh, Captain.
00:33:41You still haven't told us where we're going.
00:33:44You go on.
00:33:45I'll be right there.
00:33:50The company is to proceed to the Elfgang Dam,
00:33:54five kilometers north of the town of Ulster,
00:33:57and secure said dam until the arrival of our live force.
00:34:01Is anyone guarding this dam?
00:34:03Yep.
00:34:04Are we going to have any help?
00:34:06No.
00:34:08We can't make radio contact for another hour.
00:34:11This might...
00:34:12Captain Carter said?
00:34:15How are we going to do it?
00:34:19I don't know, soldier.
00:34:33You will have to pretend this is tea, Lieutenant.
00:34:37I made it from some roots.
00:34:43I'd never know the difference.
00:34:48You don't want to rest like the others?
00:34:53The others don't know what I know.
00:34:57What do you know?
00:35:00That we'll all be dead tomorrow.
00:35:03Why do you say that?
00:35:06Because he's right.
00:35:08It is a company of clowns.
00:35:11Never even got through basic training.
00:35:13Never even fired at anything except ten cans.
00:35:16And they're supposed to capture a heavily guarded dam?
00:35:21Suicide.
00:35:23No, I don't think so.
00:35:27I watched my brother put on an uniform and march off to the war.
00:35:33Then he got to the bar and he turned around and he waved,
00:35:38but there was no smile.
00:35:40And I had no smile either.
00:35:44But I watched him go.
00:35:48Do you know why?
00:35:52Because I knew he was going to die.
00:35:55How? I mean, how did you know it?
00:35:59Because he was fighting for the wrong side.
00:36:05And so I look at you now and I can tell.
00:36:10Then tell me.
00:36:12You can smile when you wave goodbye.
00:36:17Earlier today I watched a man die.
00:36:19He was on the right side.
00:36:22I don't know about him, I just know about you.
00:36:25No, you don't know about me, and you don't know about my men.
00:36:28I wish to God I could believe that righteousness could save our lives, but...
00:36:33Do you doubt your men, Leutnant?
00:36:36Or yourself?
00:36:41I don't know.
00:36:49There was a time when I knew, but...
00:36:56You know, I think that you're a strong man,
00:37:02but that you let something make you doubt yourself.
00:37:09But if you believe it, then you will be dead tomorrow.
00:37:18Do you believe that?
00:37:20Yes.
00:37:32Get away from her, Moss!
00:37:35What do you think you're doing?
00:37:38Don't ever let me see you touch a white woman or show her...
00:37:41You're in my house, Captain.
00:37:43Even if there's a war on outside, you're a guest in here.
00:37:47You're incredible, Carter.
00:37:49The lives of seven men are on the line and you spend your time
00:37:52protecting the virtue of white women who get too close to black men.
00:37:58I feel sorry for you, man.
00:38:05I feel sorry for you.
00:38:35I...
00:38:38I wasn't thinking.
00:38:41You're not in Georgia anymore, Carter.
00:38:44I know.
00:38:46Do you?
00:38:48Or are things over here supposed to stay the way you like them?
00:38:52Everybody in his place.
00:38:55I didn't ask for this mission.
00:38:57Oh, that makes me feel better.
00:39:01I don't want to kill these men.
00:39:04Well, you are.
00:39:06Little by little, a word here or a shove there,
00:39:09and you make a man feel small.
00:39:12Well, you think on that, too.
00:39:14When one shows up, you show up.
00:39:17You show up, you show up.
00:39:20You show up, you show up.
00:39:23You show up, you show up.
00:39:26You show up, you show up.
00:39:29When one shot from a friend can save you,
00:39:32and that one shot doesn't come.
00:39:35This is London Bridge. Come in, Blue Nose.
00:39:38This is Blue Nose. Go ahead, London Bridge. Over.
00:39:41Oden?
00:39:44Oden?
00:39:47Oden?
00:39:50Oden?
00:39:53Oden?
00:39:56Oden?
00:39:59Oden?
00:40:02Go ahead, London Bridge. Over.
00:40:04Oden?
00:40:06First, I want to thank you for this mission.
00:40:08You couldn't have picked a better outfit.
00:40:11Did you take the dam?
00:40:13We on our way, General.
00:40:15I'm coming in tomorrow with the 3rd Regiment.
00:40:17That dam better be there.
00:40:19Tomorrow?
00:40:21Roger. Carter, we need that dam.
00:40:28Carter, did you hear me? I said we're coming in.
00:40:33Carter, did you hear me?
00:40:36Carter!
00:40:39Carter!
00:41:00Good day, Miss Lane.
00:41:02Good day. Come in.
00:41:04Come in.
00:41:07What's going on out there?
00:41:10Only 5 of them and 7 of us.
00:41:13If we open up on them now, they'll never know what hit them.
00:41:15No.
00:41:17If they don't report it, there'll be a search.
00:41:19We don't want the whole German Army snooping around here.
00:41:21Let's just wait a few minutes and see what happens.
00:41:29Hold line. You can't hit us. Run.
00:41:38What's your name, Miss Lane?
00:41:40Anna.
00:41:42Anna. You're beautiful, Anna.
00:41:59What are they doing in there?
00:42:01Shut up.
00:42:03They could be coming around behind us.
00:42:04Lewis, I said shut up.
00:42:07Come on, boss. Let's split up.
00:42:08No, not yet.
00:42:09Leave them in there. Let them have them.
00:42:11I ain't dying for no help from the hunk of officers.
00:42:13Where are you going, soldier?
00:42:14Far away from here, baby.
00:42:15That's desertion.
00:42:16What side are you on, man?
00:42:17That track is ours.
00:42:19You make one step toward that door and I'll kill you.
00:42:21Boss, we can leave.
00:42:23Is that what you waited 3 years to do, huh?
00:42:25Run when the going gets rough?
00:42:27You leave now. You deserve to dig holes for people like him.
00:42:32Now, who wants to make a move?
00:42:42Let's get out of here. We've got a long night.
00:43:01Let's go.
00:43:31Let's go.
00:44:02Look. More trees up ahead.
00:44:05That's where the woods are later.
00:44:07Yeah, good hiding places.
00:44:09Don't get cold feet on yourself, son.
00:44:11I know we ain't going to make it.
00:44:12The trees looking at us. I can feel it.
00:44:15They're waiting.
00:44:16We'll find out soon enough.
00:44:18Let's go.
00:44:19Let's go.
00:44:20Let's go.
00:44:21Let's go.
00:44:22Let's go.
00:44:23Let's go.
00:44:24Let's go.
00:44:25Let's go.
00:44:26Let's go.
00:44:27Let's go.
00:44:28Let's go.
00:44:29Let's go.
00:44:30We'll find out soon enough.
00:44:34I don't want to die, Big Jim.
00:44:36Hey, man. Ain't nothing to it.
00:44:39I don't want the pain.
00:44:41Just curl up inside of yourself.
00:44:46Look!
00:44:47Where?
00:44:48I see one.
00:44:49See what?
00:44:50Up in the trees.
00:44:56Get them undercover or they'll run us down.
00:45:01Captain! They're all in there!
00:45:03Stop it! You'll get us all killed!
00:45:05Captain! Shoot them!
00:45:07They're in there! Shoot them!
00:45:13Shoot them!
00:45:17Shoot them!
00:45:19Get out of that hole, mister.
00:45:21Captain, look...
00:45:22Shut up.
00:45:23Shut up.
00:45:29I'll give you the three.
00:45:32I don't want to die, man.
00:45:34One.
00:45:35Please, sir.
00:45:39Two.
00:45:42Three.
00:45:43Let me talk to him, sir.
00:45:46You've got two minutes.
00:45:51Shoot, Kai. Shoot.
00:45:57There ain't nobody there, buddy.
00:45:59What?
00:46:01Just us chickens.
00:46:04It don't make no difference.
00:46:08He's gonna shoot me and I can't move.
00:46:11He's gonna shoot me and I can't move.
00:46:14Man, ain't nobody gonna hurt you.
00:46:16I'm scared, Jim.
00:46:19Yeah, I know.
00:46:21I'm scared, too.
00:46:23Not like me, Jim. I can't even walk.
00:46:25Sure you can. Just get up out of there.
00:46:27I can't!
00:46:32Anybody can be scared.
00:46:34It's what you do when you're scared makes you a something or nothing.
00:46:37Always been a nothing.
00:46:40Maybe.
00:46:41Now you got a choice.
00:46:46All right.
00:46:47I'll leave you.
00:46:48And I'll tell Carter to come back with his pistol.
00:46:50And he can tell all his white friends,
00:46:52man, I knew them niggers couldn't cut the mustard.
00:46:56They just curl up in a hole and let me shoot them in the head.
00:47:01And a hundred years from now, black men will be clean on the train just like you and me.
00:47:05So long, buddy.
00:47:35Come on.
00:48:06It's been a while since I made any wine here.
00:48:08Could you save some for us?
00:48:10Take one of your boys and check inside there.
00:48:13Of course.
00:48:35Come on.
00:48:51That one's all clear.
00:48:52Clarence, you and Big Jim check the others, huh?
00:48:58Go.
00:49:05Go.
00:49:24Say, Doc, can I get my notebook from you?
00:49:31Keep writing, kid.
00:49:35All right.
00:50:05Hey, Shelston.
00:50:06What?
00:50:11Can you get in there?
00:50:12Oh, man.
00:50:13Go on.
00:50:14Last one in is a wino.
00:50:35Hey.
00:51:00Hey, Lewis.
00:51:06Hey.
00:51:17We need a volunteer.
00:51:21You got a lot to choose from.
00:51:23We want you.
00:51:26Any special reason?
00:51:29Picking you was a knock.
00:51:31Didn't mean to have to.
00:51:33We want you to scout the dam.
00:51:35Take somebody else to go with you.
00:51:38Got it.
00:51:39What'd you think?
00:51:42You'll be just fine.
00:51:43I want you to get as close as you can to the dam.
00:51:46You'll have to skirt the lake to get to the other end.
00:51:48That's where the detonators will be.
00:51:50Make a drawing of where the charges are placed
00:51:52and get back here at 1200 hours.
00:52:02All right.
00:52:32Come on.
00:53:03On my foxhole, I can hear the sounds of artillery fire
00:53:06less than 100 yards away.
00:53:11We are waiting for orders to advance to the front.
00:53:22The pressure of constant fighting
00:53:24has begun to tell on the faces of the men.
00:53:28And we hope for a day or two of rest
00:53:30and we hope for a day or two of rest after the coming fight.
00:53:46Find anything?
00:53:47Nothing, sir.
00:53:48A couple of old bollocks.
00:53:49Good.
00:53:50All of you fall in over there.
00:53:52All three of you, come on.
00:53:55I didn't think we'd make it this far, but we've been lucky.
00:53:57You boys don't know how lucky we've been.
00:54:01But it's just starting to warm up.
00:54:05We've got to have that dam by nightfall
00:54:07and there's not going to be luck that gets us through.
00:54:08You understand?
00:54:09Mm-hmm.
00:54:14Open it.
00:54:19What you going to use for bullets?
00:54:23The rifle.
00:54:30Oil it.
00:54:34Better tuck those inside, soldier.
00:54:36You want to say goodbye?
00:54:38Yes, sir.
00:54:40I'm going outside to join Lieutenant Wallace.
00:54:42And when I get back, you better be in shape, you hear?
00:54:54Now, soldier,
00:54:55shine up those boots and knock your eyes out.
00:54:59Spit on it.
00:55:06Oil up that rifle.
00:55:08And burn that uniform.
00:55:10Smells like gasoline.
00:55:12Yeah, boss.
00:55:28Straighten up that cap, soldier.
00:55:30You got it.
00:55:31You got it.
00:55:34You about through, soldier?
00:55:43What?
00:55:44Jim!
00:55:45Jim!
00:55:46Papa, Jim!
00:55:48He must be up on that roof over there.
00:55:50You go to the right, I'll go to the left.
00:55:55Papa, Jim!
00:55:57Can you see me, sister?
00:56:00I can't.
00:56:01I got those crows.
00:56:26Jim!
00:56:27Jim!
00:56:56Jim!
00:57:27Jim!
00:57:53I don't believe it.
00:57:54I think we've been had.
00:57:56What?
00:57:57We don't have a chance.
00:57:59When we come this far, I ain't going back without doing something.
00:58:02Here, take a look.
00:58:07What are they doing?
00:58:08Setting the chart.
00:58:10I got a feeling we don't have as much time as we think.
00:58:13We better get back.
00:58:14What about the drawing?
00:58:15We can remember. Come on.
00:58:24Come on.
00:58:48Come on, come on.
00:58:55So?
00:58:56Where are they?
00:58:57You know as much as I do, Captain.
00:58:59All of you do, and I know they'd better get their bodies here in five more minutes.
00:59:02And if they don't come back?
00:59:03We've got their nose in the swamp.
00:59:05I was thinking about us, Captain.
00:59:07We go in without them.
00:59:08Unless you or somebody else has a better idea.
00:59:11Hey, hey!
00:59:25Look.
00:59:26You don't have much time.
00:59:27They're setting the charge.
00:59:28Where's Lewis?
00:59:29In a mine.
00:59:31He's dead.
00:59:32Where's the drawing?
00:59:33I never got it.
00:59:35I remember.
00:59:36Tell us.
00:59:38Where's the charge?
00:59:39There's eight of them next to the water.
00:59:42But the plunger is on the far side, in the back of a truck.
00:59:47Let's go.
00:59:48No, wait, wait.
00:59:54I'll get it.
01:00:11You take it easy.
01:00:12We'll come back for you.
01:00:13Yeah.
01:00:17Told you.
01:00:19I hope you're all right, Locker.
01:00:24You're going to be all right, Hayes.
01:00:27Goodbye.
01:00:31Hey, where's Grunt?
01:00:48Grunt!
01:01:08Now, Hayes is right.
01:01:10We should be able to see it from down here.
01:01:12Seeing it's one thing.
01:01:13Saving it's another.
01:01:15One thing at a time, Willis.
01:01:17Come on.
01:01:43It's still there.
01:01:45There.
01:01:47But not for long.
01:01:49What?
01:01:54We've got to get closer, Hayes.
01:02:14Come on.
01:02:40They're making Russian.
01:02:41And the first thing they do is connect the wires and...
01:02:44All this time, we can just watch.
01:02:48You take the man nearest the box.
01:02:51We can make it hard to get nearer, son.
01:02:54But way too most of them have left.
01:03:09What's going on?
01:03:10Looks like the farmer's giving them a hard time.
01:03:23It's about gone. You ready?
01:03:31It's Crank.
01:03:40Don't do it.
01:04:11Crank!
01:04:32Cover me!
01:04:41Crank!
01:05:05The truck!
01:05:10The truck!
01:05:41July 25th
01:05:43We've been assured by Major Wallace
01:05:45there will be a rest for us when we reach Berlin.
01:05:48The fighting has been hard.
01:05:51The strain almost unbearable.
01:05:55I will receive the Medal of Honor
01:05:57from the people of Berlin.
01:05:59I will receive the Medal of Honor
01:06:01from the people of Berlin.
01:06:03I will receive the Medal of Honor
01:06:05from the people of Berlin.
01:06:08I will receive the Medal of Honor
01:06:10from General Eisenhower.
01:06:13But the heroism of the company will be preserved
01:06:15by the men who have seen us fight
01:06:18and die.
01:06:28I think it is time.
01:06:31I have to keep working.
01:06:35What's in the book?
01:06:36He has some notes.
01:06:38Better keep that too.
01:06:40It's time to do his books.
01:06:45How's Crank?
01:07:00Hey, hey.
01:07:02I was going to be far away from you, baby.
01:07:04I saw that hay wagon.
01:07:06And I had to decide
01:07:07if I was going to be a something or a nothing.
01:07:09And I had to do it.
01:07:11You've done good.
01:07:13I had to do it.
01:07:16Can you walk?
01:07:17I don't know. It hurts pretty bad.
01:07:20Come on.
01:07:22Come on.
01:07:23Easy.
01:07:25Easy.
01:07:28Easy.
01:07:34Easy.
01:08:04Easy.
01:08:35Hey, what are you waiting for?
01:08:37Hey, you'd better get some napkins.
01:09:04Hey, hey.
01:09:13Amy!
01:09:34Amy!
