1. We had lost some very good men there.Copy !req
2. Toye and Guarnere had lost
their legs there.Copy !req
3. Gordon was badly hit.
A number of other people were killed.Copy !req
4. It was a difficult situation there.Copy !req
5. I don't know the exact amount
of men that got killed in that.Copy !req
6. But six, seven of them were
real close friends of mine.Copy !req
7. Skip Muck died and Eugene Roe
came to me...Copy !req
8. about 10 minutes
after he was killed.Copy !req
9. He wanted to see
if I wanted to go look at him.Copy !req
10. I said, "No. I wouldn't be able
to stand that". So I didn't go.Copy !req
11. After Bastogne, we went to Haguenau.Copy !req
12. We wanted to see what was across
the river, what strength they had.Copy !req
13. You feel you'll live through the war.Copy !req
14. You have a feeling
it's starting to ease off.Copy !req
15. You can't account for it...Copy !req
16. it's a gut feeling,
but everybody had that feeling.Copy !req
17. I believe I might be able
to live through it.Copy !req
18. So walk carefully.
Take care of yourself.Copy !req
19. What the 101st Airborne did in the
Battle of the Bulge made it famous.Copy !req
20. Papers called them
"The Battered Bastards of Bastogne".Copy !req
21. They were now pulling into
the comparative paradise of Haguenau...Copy !req
22. the sounds of the war
coming from across the river.Copy !req
23. I had missed Bastogne.Copy !req
24. I knew what I heard
around the replacement depot.Copy !req
25. That the war would soon be over.Copy !req
26. Thanks for the lift.Copy !req
27. When I was able to rejoin
Easy Company...Copy !req
28. they didn't look like heroes
who just helped win the war.Copy !req
29. - George Luz!
- Yeah?Copy !req
30. It's me. Come on,
I haven't been gone that long.Copy !req
31. Jesus. Yes, you have.Copy !req
32. Now, look what I've found.Copy !req
33. Hey, guys. Sgt. Martin, Sgt. Ran—Copy !req
34. What do you want, private?Copy !req
35. Sorry, sir. I'm David Webster,
I'm back from the hospital.Copy !req
36. Good for you.Copy !req
37. - Where's the rest of the guys?
- This is everybody.Copy !req
38. Come on, Sgt. Martin,
this can't be everybody.Copy !req
39. What about Hoobler, where's he?Copy !req
40. You know, Lt. Foley, 2nd Platoon
lost more guys than we did.Copy !req
41. They're really short-handed.Copy !req
42. Report to 2nd.
They'll find you a place.Copy !req
43. Next truck up, Webster,
you'll find 2nd. Move.Copy !req
44. Hey, guys.Copy !req
45. Some lieutenant told me
to report to 2nd.Copy !req
46. - Your name's Jackson, right?
- That's right.Copy !req
47. Who's leading the platoon?Copy !req
48. - Sgt. Malarkey.
- No officers?Copy !req
49. - I guess you didn't hear.
- No, what?Copy !req
50. They're making him lieutenant.
He's on the fast track.Copy !req
51. - Really? That's great.
- Isn't it?Copy !req
52. Jackson, help me up, will you?Copy !req
53. - So you come from the hospital?
- Yeah.Copy !req
54. Must have liked that hospital, because
we left Holland four months ago.Copy !req
55. I wasn't only there. There was
rehab, the replacement depot.Copy !req
56. I'm sure you tried to bust out
and help us in Bastogne.Copy !req
57. - How would I have done that?
- Popeye found a way.Copy !req
58. So did Alley, back in Holland.
And Guarnere—Copy !req
59. Where is Guarnere?
He still platoon sergeant?Copy !req
60. - No.
- Let's go.Copy !req
61. - He got hit.
- Yeah?Copy !req
62. Yeah, Bill got hit.
Blew his whole leg off.Copy !req
63. 1st Platoon, moving out!Copy !req
64. Hold along this line till
I figure out where we're going.Copy !req
65. Sarge? Sarge—Copy !req
66. What's the matter, Webster?
Nervous in the service?Copy !req
67. No, no, I'm fine, sarge.Copy !req
68. Go make sure Capt. Speirs
wants you with us.Copy !req
69. Capt. Speirs?
What happened to Capt. Winters?Copy !req
70. He's running the whole battalion now.
Go.Copy !req
71. Easy Company had a new CO
to go with the other new faces.Copy !req
72. The guys I knew were gone
or different than I remembered.Copy !req
73. I went through D-Day and Market Garden,
but because I had missed Bastogne...Copy !req
74. I was treated as a replacement
and felt like I was starting all over.Copy !req
75. - Look who it is. Nice digs, huh, Lip?
- Yeah.Copy !req
76. - Sgt. Lipton?
- Look what I found.Copy !req
77. - Feeling all right?
- He's got pneumonia.Copy !req
78. I'm sorry.Copy !req
79. Why? He's alive, he's got a couch,
a goddamn blanket. He's snug as a bug.Copy !req
80. Sgt. Malarkey said to check
if I should be in 2nd Platoon.Copy !req
81. Have a seat, Webster.
We'll get you situated.Copy !req
82. How long have you been sick?Copy !req
83. Long enough.Copy !req
84. - He wants us to cross the river.
- Yeah, I bet that water's cold.Copy !req
85. Should be able to get you some boats.Copy !req
86. Had to be a full moon.
So much for the cover of darkness.Copy !req
87. It's gonna leave the patrol exposed.Copy !req
88. - Is this the company CP for Easy?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
89. As you were.
Lt. Jones looking for Capt. Speirs.Copy !req
90. He's on his way, sir.
Why don't you sit down?Copy !req
91. Can you get me coffee?
Want coffee?Copy !req
92. - No, thank you.
- All right.Copy !req
93. What platoon are you in?Copy !req
94. We're about to find that out.Copy !req
95. - You got any soap? I need a shave.
- I'll send some down.Copy !req
96. - Know what you'll do?
- I'll let Speirs handle it.Copy !req
97. Capt. Speirs, sir. This is Lt. Jones.Copy !req
98. Will you go back and sack out?
There's beds with fresh sheets.Copy !req
99. I will, sir. Just trying
to make myself useful, sir.Copy !req
100. Listen up.Copy !req
101. Regiment wants patrol for prisoners.Copy !req
102. This one comes from Col. Sink,
so it's not my idea.Copy !req
103. The river is the line of resistance.
We have to cross it.Copy !req
104. What do we do?Copy !req
105. There's a three-story building
on the enemy side.Copy !req
106. It's occupied. You can have 15 men.
Think hard about who you want to lead.Copy !req
107. You'll need a scout, a translator.
The battalion's on covering fire.Copy !req
108. - When?
- Tonight. 0100.Copy !req
109. - Yes, sir.
- Speirs?Copy !req
110. I want this to be safe.Copy !req
111. Don't take any chances on this one.
We're too far along for that.Copy !req
112. Speirs? I wanna discuss
who might go.Copy !req
113. - Who are you?
- Lt. Jones, sir.Copy !req
114. Right, our West Pointer.Copy !req
115. - Yes, sir.
- When did you graduate?Copy !req
116. June 6, sir.Copy !req
117. June 6? Of last year?Copy !req
118. D-Day, yes, sir.Copy !req
119. All right, don't get hurt.Copy !req
120. Sir, I'd like to volunteer
for the patrol.Copy !req
121. - Speirs, talk to you in an hour.
- Yeah.Copy !req
122. Lt. Jones.Copy !req
123. We're short on officers.
You think a non-com could lead this?Copy !req
124. I can think of a few possibilities.Copy !req
125. Martin? Malarkey? Grant?Copy !req
126. - Most of the NCOs could use a rest.
- Captain. Request permission to go.Copy !req
127. There's your answer.Copy !req
128. No. You don't have any experience.Copy !req
129. - Report to 2nd Platoon.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
130. Tell...Copy !req
131. Tell Heffron, Ramirez
and McClung they're going.Copy !req
132. Yes, sir.Copy !req
133. Sir, this is Pvt. Webster.Copy !req
134. Sir, I'm Pvt. Webster
from 1st Platoon.Copy !req
135. I just got back from the hospital.Copy !req
136. Lt. Foley said go to 2nd,
but Sgt. Malarkey—Copy !req
137. - Fine, 2nd. Take...
- Lt. Jones.Copy !req
138. Lieutenant. OP 2.Copy !req
139. Come on.Copy !req
140. - Are other officers in the platoon?
- No, sir, just Sgt. Malarkey.Copy !req
141. He's getting a battlefield commission.
Maybe he'll be assisting you.Copy !req
142. Who's that? Webster?Copy !req
143. Yeah. How you doing, Sgt. Kiehn?Copy !req
144. - Hi, Webster.
- Hi, sarge.Copy !req
145. - Look what we scrounged. We got spuds.
- Is OP 2 this way?Copy !req
146. Shit! Move! Go!Copy !req
147. Shit, they spotted us!Copy !req
148. - Is that it?
- I think so.Copy !req
149. Go! Go! Go!Copy !req
150. Come on!
Get over here, get over here!Copy !req
151. All clear! All clear!Copy !req
152. Okay, okay.Copy !req
153. Ready?Copy !req
154. - Wait. It was Heffron, McClung and—
- Ramirez. Come on.Copy !req
155. - Hey, guys, this taken?
- Go ahead.Copy !req
156. Sergeant, this is Lt. Jones,
just assigned to 2nd Platoon.Copy !req
157. Platoon Sgt. Malarkey.Copy !req
158. Congratulations on the
battlefield commission.Copy !req
159. - The what?
- They're making you an officer, no?Copy !req
160. Me? No. You must be thinking
of 1st Sgt. Lipton.Copy !req
161. My mistake. So you're
without a platoon leader?Copy !req
162. Not any more, lieutenant.Copy !req
163. Right.Copy !req
164. So you wanna introduce me to the men?Copy !req
165. Well, some are sleeping downstairs.
The rest are right here.Copy !req
166. Sergeant, a patrol's being planned
for tonight, 0100. Across the river.Copy !req
167. Regiment wants POWs
for interrogation.Copy !req
168. What's the situation?Copy !req
169. - Hey, Web.
- What?Copy !req
170. Come here.
I wanna talk to you a second.Copy !req
171. Why?Copy !req
172. - You want some coffee?
- No.Copy !req
173. - Fifteen.
- Fifteen what?Copy !req
174. Looeys since D-Day.Copy !req
175. - Any mortars?
- 60s out back.Copy !req
176. - He out of high school?
- West Point.Copy !req
177. West Point? Isn't that where Ike went?Copy !req
178. - Yeah. He graduated with his son.
- Shit. So...Copy !req
179. What do you know
about this patrol thing?Copy !req
180. - Nothing.
- You gotta know something.Copy !req
181. - I don't.
- Bullshit.Copy !req
182. You were at the CP.
This is a prisoner snatch, right?Copy !req
183. Hey, Chuck, listen to this.Copy !req
184. Come on, Webster. Spill it.Copy !req
185. Capt. Speirs is to pick 15 men.Copy !req
186. Lt. Jones wants to be one of them.Copy !req
187. Let the kid go.
He could use the experience.Copy !req
188. Probably could find
14 replacements to help.Copy !req
189. I take it this was an outpost
when you arrived?Copy !req
190. Doggies from the 79th Infantry.
They left quickly.Copy !req
191. - What's the report on enemy activity?
- Expect flares, some mortars.Copy !req
192. Scattered 88s, snipers.Copy !req
193. Yeah, we dodged some mortars
on our way in.Copy !req
194. We also got some sort
of railroad gun back there.Copy !req
195. Shells the size of a deuce and a half.
Sounds like a freight train.Copy !req
196. - They didn't try to cross the river?
- No.Copy !req
197. They have roofs over their heads,
like us.Copy !req
198. I don't think anybody wants
to do anything stupid now.Copy !req
199. - I know you know.
- Just give us the names.Copy !req
200. Who?Copy !req
201. There are three men in this room that
they think should be on the patrol.Copy !req
202. Who?Copy !req
203. If I tell you,
you can't let on that you know.Copy !req
204. Your secret's safe, Web.
Who is it?Copy !req
205. - Yeah. Heffron.
- Oh, shit!Copy !req
206. McClung.Copy !req
207. And you.Copy !req
208. - He want anyone from another platoon?
- No. I don't know. Not that I know.Copy !req
209. Look, that's all I know. I'm sorry.Copy !req
210. So it's McClung, Heffron and Ramirez?Copy !req
211. - I'll tell them, I just need you to—
- Listen up! Got some bad news.Copy !req
212. There is a patrol set for tonight.
Speirs wants McClung—Copy !req
213. - We know.
- We just heard.Copy !req
214. Webster here told us.Copy !req
215. Easy White.Copy !req
216. Yep.Copy !req
217. Okay. All right. Out.Copy !req
218. The PX rations just came in.
Including winter shoe-pacs.Copy !req
219. - Beautiful.
- Yeah, finally, right?Copy !req
220. - Now we're in a nice, warm house.
- Also, we got showers.Copy !req
221. All right! Let's move! Clear it out!Copy !req
222. Incoming!Copy !req
223. Come on, go! Get down, stay low.Copy !req
224. - You okay?
- Yeah, I'm all right.Copy !req
225. Showers. Let's go.Copy !req
226. - Somebody's been hit!
- Where?Copy !req
227. - What's happened?
- Casualty!Copy !req
228. - Who is it?
- Bill Kiehn!Copy !req
229. I just left him. I was on my way back.Copy !req
230. In war, soldiers sometimes die
in a fire-fight...Copy !req
231. or by artillery when they're
huddled in a foxhole.Copy !req
232. Bill Kiehn was killed because
he was carrying a sack of potatoes.Copy !req
233. In the wrong place at the wrong time.Copy !req
234. He was dead before Doc Roe
heard the call for a medic.Copy !req
235. Get him out of here, will you?Copy !req
236. - Hey, let's go. Let's get out of here.
- Yeah, okay.Copy !req
237. - Did you know him well?
- No, not really.Copy !req
238. - McClung.
- Thanks.Copy !req
239. Malarkey.Copy !req
240. Grant, Jackson, Wynn, Liebgott,
Powers and Webster. All right?Copy !req
241. 2nd Platoon, on me!Copy !req
242. All right, I'm leading this patrol.Copy !req
243. C.O. wants Grant, Liebgott,
Wynn, Jackson...Copy !req
244. Shifty from 3rd Platoon
and Webster.Copy !req
245. - They want anyone from 1st?
- No.Copy !req
246. Is there anyone
they don't want from 2nd?Copy !req
247. That list sounds like everybody to me.Copy !req
248. It's always 2nd Platoon.Copy !req
249. - If we were three, they'd want us.
- I can't believe Malarkey's leading.Copy !req
250. He's lost 5 friends.
What's he got to live for?Copy !req
251. Has it been a long time since
your last shower, professor?Copy !req
252. - Come on.
- Is it hot water or cold?Copy !req
253. - Come on. Hurry up, will you?
- All right.Copy !req
254. - I guess I don't really need a shower.
- I don't either.Copy !req
255. - Lieutenant?
- Yeah?Copy !req
256. - You still wanna get your ODs dirty?
- Of course.Copy !req
257. I was just thinking.Copy !req
258. Sgt. Malarkey's in no condition
to be on this patrol.Copy !req
259. Maybe if you offered,
you could go instead.Copy !req
260. - You're an officer.
- They want someone experienced.Copy !req
261. The guys they picked
have plenty of that.Copy !req
262. Lt. Jones wanted to experience
combat before the war ended.Copy !req
263. Don Malarkey had been
on the front-lines since D-Day.Copy !req
264. If they could switch places for the
patrol, it would be a small justice.Copy !req
265. As welcome as a hot shower
and a fresh uniform.Copy !req
266. The decision, though,
was not theirs to make.Copy !req
267. Johnny, you're breaking my heart.Copy !req
268. Come on, George.
Give me, I don't know, 15 bars.Copy !req
269. Juicy Fruit. Happy?Copy !req
270. Movement reported. 1st Sgt. Lipton
wants you to shoot into a house.Copy !req
271. - Could we get a Hershey bar?
- Luz, you're 1st Platoon at heart.Copy !req
272. - There's not enough.
- Hershey bars!Copy !req
273. - Jesus!
- Wait your turn!Copy !req
274. - Who they for?
- Not you.Copy !req
275. - One bar.
- No, there's not enough to go around!Copy !req
276. - Is Capt. Speirs here?
- By the river, sir.Copy !req
277. Hey, big-mouth,
give the kid a Hershey bar.Copy !req
278. - You're kidding.
- Look who it is.Copy !req
279. I like what you did with the place.Copy !req
280. Yeah, I did good.
How you feeling?Copy !req
281. - I'll be fine.
- Have a Hershey.Copy !req
282. - Thanks.
- He gets a Hershey bar?Copy !req
283. He got shot in the ass.Copy !req
284. - Did I say to stick your ass out?
- No, but I expect sympathy.Copy !req
285. I should rub it?Copy !req
286. Try to get him out of the war,
he comes back.Copy !req
287. I heard the Krauts are finished.Copy !req
288. Well, to make sure,
we gotta row across the river tonight...Copy !req
289. grab a few and ask them in person.Copy !req
290. - Are you kidding?
- Wish I was. Welcome back.Copy !req
291. That reminds me, Web.
I need you to run these to OP 2.Copy !req
292. Grenade launchers for the night
patrol. Any day now. There you go.Copy !req
293. Hey, you know what? Send these too.Copy !req
294. Hear what happened
on D Company's patrol last night?Copy !req
295. Replacement lieutenant
blew his foot off.Copy !req
296. Fresh from West Point.
Had to come back empty-handed.Copy !req
297. Maybe he was a friend, lieutenant.Copy !req
298. What you got there?Copy !req
299. More Hershey bars
and Lucky Strikes to hoard?Copy !req
300. Cobb, with the mouth, please.Copy !req
301. The kid's just trying
to do his job, all right?Copy !req
302. To hell with it. Count them, Vest.
I gotta blast this house.Copy !req
303. - You happy?
- Coming, Perco?Copy !req
304. Watch this shit for me.
Web, come with me.Copy !req
305. Will Capt. Speirs be there?Copy !req
306. - Same vicinity.
- I'll join you.Copy !req
307. - Where we going?
- The house I gotta blast.Copy !req
308. - Will Capt. Winters be with him?
- Jesus. Look, I don't know. Maybe.Copy !req
309. - I'm coming too.
- Come on, guys.Copy !req
310. - Give me a bar.
- I'm supposed to watch them.Copy !req
311. Come on, you don't smoke.
I got a wounded ass.Copy !req
312. Did Intelligence give
you any information?Copy !req
313. Third house on the left.Copy !req
314. When the men are in boats,
I want a quad 50.Copy !req
315. Captain Winters?Copy !req
316. I feel that I should
go on the patrol.Copy !req
317. I know I could use the experience.Copy !req
318. Denied. Anything else?Copy !req
319. You're not gonna lead that patrol,
Lieutenant Jones.Copy !req
320. Permission to speak, sir.Copy !req
321. Go on.Copy !req
322. Sergeant Malarkey
could use a break.Copy !req
323. He said that he did not mind
if I took his place on the patrol.Copy !req
324. That was nice of him.Copy !req
325. - Captain Winters?
- Yes.Copy !req
326. I'd really like to be
on that patrol, sir.Copy !req
327. If it's true the Krauts
are finished...Copy !req
328. I haven't really done anything except
deliver mail and type morning reports.Copy !req
329. - Absolutely.
- Thank you, captain.Copy !req
330. - He has a point about Sergeant Malarkey.
- Yeah, a point.Copy !req
331. Fine. You can go.
There will be a briefing. CP, 1700.Copy !req
332. Yes, sir.Copy !req
333. So who do you have in mind leading
this thing, if not Malarkey?Copy !req
334. Come on, he can't be leading.Copy !req
335. I'm not sure what they decided.Copy !req
336. No way. Not on his first day.Copy !req
337. Well, do you see any
other officer here?Copy !req
338. - What?
- They call you guys too?Copy !req
339. So who's in charge of this bullshit?Copy !req
340. No, he ain't.Copy !req
341. If he ain't, it's you, Chuck.
Or Shifty or Mo.Copy !req
342. Well, that would be better.Copy !req
343. - Ten-hut!
- Jesus.Copy !req
344. At ease.Copy !req
345. - Gentlemen.
- Sir.Copy !req
346. We've assembled 15 of you for this
prisoner snatch tonight, 0100.Copy !req
347. We've secured four rubber
boats to get you across the river.Copy !req
348. Lieutenant Jones here is the ranking
officer. He'll be along as an observer.Copy !req
349. Martin will lead the patrol
in Malarkey's place.Copy !req
350. Battalion will cover
your withdrawal.Copy !req
351. We've identified targets,
planned fire.Copy !req
352. We hear the whistles, we open up.
Don't blow them until you're in the boats.Copy !req
353. If the house is empty?Copy !req
354. It won't, but we know it's an outpost
and want it destroyed...Copy !req
355. so lay some demo
on a time delay.Copy !req
356. Move fast, but carefully.
Put a perimeter around the house.Copy !req
357. Get your rifle grenades in the window,
and the assault team in.Copy !req
358. Good. Remember, it's about prisoners.
Don't pop the first thing that moves.Copy !req
359. - Clear?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
360. Good.Copy !req
361. Picked your assault team?Copy !req
362. McClung, Sisk, Cobb, Garcia
and Webster, as translator.Copy !req
363. The rest of you guys,
a base of fire with Sergeant Grant.Copy !req
364. - You speak German, right, Webster?
- Yeah. A little bit.Copy !req
365. Good. That's my team, sir.Copy !req

503. Jackson, you are not gonna die.
I need you to hang on.Copy !req
504. Jackson?Copy !req
505. Eugene Jackson was 20 years old.Copy !req
506. He'd lied about his age when
he joined the Army at 16.Copy !req
507. His family got a telegram
from the War Department...Copy !req
508. saying he died a hero on a
mission that would help win the war.Copy !req
509. In fact, Eugene lost his life on a
stretcher in a basement in Haguenau...Copy !req
510. crying out in agony while his
friends looked on helplessly.Copy !req
511. He was just one more casualty in a war
that was supposed to be all but over.Copy !req
512. Did they put that
in the report on the ADA?Copy !req
513. We're working on it. How long
are you keeping the quad 50?Copy !req
514. When they want it back,
I'll hand it over.Copy !req
515. Keep moving. Go on.
Get up on the truck. Up, up.Copy !req
516. Status?Copy !req
517. Private Jackson took a grenade
frag rushing the enemy OP.Copy !req
518. - It was his own grenade.
- He died of his wounds, sir.Copy !req
519. - Any others?
- No, sir.Copy !req
520. Well executed. It's not your fault.Copy !req
521. Talk to your men.Copy !req
522. - Carry on.
- Thanks, sir.Copy !req
523. We heard you got two prisoners.Copy !req
524. Good work.Copy !req
525. Jackson's dead.Copy !req
526. Yeah, we heard.Copy !req
527. Yeah, well, they want
another patrol tonight.Copy !req
528. What are you doing, Cobb?Copy !req
529. You leave someone on the bank?Copy !req
530. Yeah. Yeah, we did.Copy !req
531. It's the third prisoner that was
too far gone to bring back.Copy !req
532. Maybe we should put
him out of his misery.Copy !req
533. - Fuck his misery.
- I can't listen to it anymore.Copy !req
534. - Sir, you want a cigarette?
- Yeah.Copy !req
535. - Who's got a light?
- Here. Hang on, sir.Copy !req
536. Twenty-two.Copy !req
537. What are you looking at, Webster?Copy !req
538. Yeah. That's what I thought,
college boy.Copy !req
539. Are you drunk, trooper?Copy !req
540. - Leave me alone.
- Answer the question.Copy !req
541. Yes, sir. I am drunk, sir.Copy !req
542. Drunk, sick and tired
of fucking patrols, taking orders—Copy !req
543. Hey, Cobb. Shut up.
It's boring, okay?Copy !req
544. Taking his side, Johnny?Copy !req
545. Yeah, I am.Copy !req
546. So he knows we lost a man?Copy !req
547. Yeah. He also knows you picked
up two prisoners who talked.Copy !req
548. - About what?
- OB, supplies, Hitler's favorite color.Copy !req
549. - None of it gets us across the river.
- What's the point?Copy !req
550. Honestly?Copy !req
551. Sink's been on the phone all day,
bragging. I think he's showing off.Copy !req
552. I don't know what to tell you.Copy !req
553. You gave him a successful patrol,
now he wants two.Copy !req
554. Successful.Copy !req
555. Sir, the men are mustered. If you
want me to brief them, I'm gonna.Copy !req
556. It's the same roster as last night.Copy !req
557. Well, mostly.Copy !req
558. - Evening, gents.
- Evening, colonel.Copy !req
559. At ease.Copy !req
560. You all did a damn fine job
on a tough mission.Copy !req
561. I wish you good luck tonight.
I'll be expecting more of the same.Copy !req
562. - Have you briefed the men?
- Just on our way.Copy !req
563. Make damn sure you remind them
how proud I am of what they did.Copy !req
564. Yes, sir.Copy !req
565. So I'll brief them now, sir?Copy !req
566. No. No, I'll do it.Copy !req
567. Sarge, they're on their way in.Copy !req
568. Ten-hut!Copy !req
569. - Martin.
- Sir.Copy !req
570. - At ease. This everybody, Grant?
- Sir.Copy !req
571. You men did an excellent job
last night.Copy !req
572. I'm proud.Copy !req
573. Colonel Sink is proud too.Copy !req
574. He's so proud he wants you
to do another patrol tonight.Copy !req
575. The outpost we hit last night
will go up in flames.Copy !req
576. - Martin?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
577. We'd have to venture farther into town.
Captain Speirs, the map.Copy !req
578. Yeah. Sergeant Grant?Copy !req
579. We have enemy movement here and here.Copy !req
580. Which means this is our
new house target here.Copy !req
581. We recovered the boats.
We'll set off from the same place.Copy !req
582. We're not changing the plan any, sir?Copy !req
583. No. The plan is the same.Copy !req
584. It will be 0200 hours instead of 0100.Copy !req
585. - Is that clear?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
586. Okay. Good. Because I want you all
to get a full night's sleep tonight.Copy !req
587. In the morning, you will report
that you made it across the river...Copy !req
588. into German lines...Copy !req
589. but were unable
to secure any live prisoners.Copy !req
590. - Understand?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
591. Good.Copy !req
592. Look sharp for tomorrow.
We're moving off the line.Copy !req
593. Did I fucking hear that right?Copy !req
594. Moving off the line!Copy !req
595. It's a new way to fight a war.Copy !req
596. Don't bother writing this up.
I'll take care of it. I might enjoy it.Copy !req
597. I think you might be onto something—Copy !req
598. Lieutenant Jones.Copy !req
599. - Sir.
- Join us at the company CP.Copy !req
600. - First Sergeant Lipton?
- Sir.Copy !req
601. Your honorable discharge
as an enlisted man...Copy !req
602. Just keep them coming, Luz.Copy !req
603. and your battlefield commission
as a second lieutenant.Copy !req
604. - Congratulations.
- Thank you.Copy !req
605. - Lip, congratulations.
- Thanks.Copy !req
606. Thank you. Welcome back, sir.Copy !req
607. - Hey, that's Harry to you.
- I didn't expect to see you this soon.Copy !req
608. - I figured you'd be nursing that scratch.
- Did you miss me, Lewis?Copy !req
609. Lt. Jones. Regiment has seen fit
to promote you to first lieutenant.Copy !req
610. They want you on staff up there.Copy !req
611. Don't go far with that.Copy !req
612. - Congratulations and good luck.
- Thank you, sir.Copy !req
613. Dismissed.Copy !req
614. I guess you lost
another platoon leader, Web?Copy !req
615. A second patrol never happened.Copy !req
616. Word was Captain Nixon wrote up a
bogus report. Regiment never got wise.Copy !req
617. As we pulled out of Haguenau,
many of us...Copy !req
618. felt that a corner had been turned
and we all might make it home alive.Copy !req
619. We'll know more closer to the line.Copy !req
620. Oh, before I forget.
Col. Sink's unhappy with your uniform.Copy !req
621. He says it's not befitting
to your rank.Copy !req
622. Oak leaves.Copy !req
623. Congratulations, major.Copy !req
624. Gentlemen, we're ready.Copy !req
625. I'll drive.Copy !req
626. - Sergeant Malarkey.
- Good luck, sir.Copy !req
627. - Sergeant Martin.
- Yeah, lieutenant?Copy !req
628. - Good work.
- Thanks. Good to have you along.Copy !req
629. Here.Copy !req
630. I wondered if people would know what
it cost the soldiers to win this war.Copy !req
631. In America, things were
already looking like peacetime.Copy !req
632. The standard of living was on the rise,
nightclubs were booming.Copy !req
633. You couldn't get a hotel room
in Miami Beach, it was so crowded.Copy !req
634. Could anyone know the price paid by
soldiers in terror, agony and bloodshed...Copy !req
635. if they'd never been to places like
Normandy, Bastogne or Haguenau?Copy !req
