00:02:56Little Blue, Little Blue, over.
00:03:00Little Blue, Little Blue, over.
00:03:07Little Blue, Little Blue, can anyone hear me? Come back, please.
00:03:30Any luck?
00:03:36I don't know, sir. The battery's just not liking the cold.
00:03:40Better than a can of corned beef, sir.
00:03:43Can you fix it?
00:03:44Oh, it depends.
00:03:46If we can get the battery to warm up, we might have a chance.
00:03:49Jason.
00:03:55Nothing, sir.
00:03:56I bet if we get to higher ground, we might have better luck.
00:03:59There's a whole damn German army behind us,
00:04:02and we don't have a radio that works.
00:04:05All right, I'm gonna go give it a try.
00:04:08Orders.
00:04:10If we can't get out of here in ten minutes,
00:04:12salvage what you can and destroy the rest.
00:04:15Don't leave anything for the Germans.
00:04:18Sir, yes, sir.
00:04:20Hey, Mark, why don't you flip the lights on for a minute?
00:04:23Let's see if that warms it up.
00:04:25All right.
00:04:27How's that?
00:04:28Yeah, let's give it a few minutes.
00:04:30Okay.
00:04:31Yeah, let's give it a few minutes.
00:04:33Go, go, go.
00:04:34I can't get it.

00:04:46Go.
00:04:47Go, go, go.
00:04:48Hey, you lucky?
00:05:03I don't know.
00:05:04I didn't get a clear look.
00:05:05Jack, I'm asking if they saw you.
00:05:06I don't know.
00:05:07I don't know.
00:05:08Purple.
00:05:09They gotta be coming.
00:05:10We need to fight them off.
00:05:11Shut up.
00:05:12Hey, what's your name?
00:05:13Shut the hell up, would you?
00:05:15OK?
00:05:16We give away our position and we're dead.
00:05:20We can't just stay here.

00:10:25Has General Omar Bradley arrived yet?
00:10:30No sir, not yet.
00:10:32We have everything set up, just like you asked.
00:10:36Mm-hmm.
00:10:37Updates?
00:10:38The forts keep pouring in.
00:10:41Sector H is withdrawing all along our lines.
00:10:44The German 12th and 9th Panzer Division seem to be in full force and knocking on everyone's
00:10:50front door.
00:10:51All units reporting enemy contact.
00:10:55The spotting plane?
00:11:00Is it ready?
00:11:01Can it go up?
00:11:02We aren't working on it.
00:11:04The weather still isn't ideal.
00:11:05All planes are grounded.
00:11:06Pass.
00:11:07I need to know what's going on out there.
00:11:10I need aerial observation.
00:11:11Come on.
00:11:12We will double our efforts, sir.
00:11:15You heard from Captain Daniels?
00:11:22Not yet, sir.
00:11:24He hasn't reported.
00:11:25He hasn't reported in yet?
00:11:27No, sir.
00:11:28What about Lieutenant Caput?
00:11:31I haven't heard from him either, sir.
00:11:36This is the big one.
00:11:38He isn't a major.
00:11:41Well, we got our work cut out for us, Captain.
00:11:43Yes, sir.
00:11:58Can I ask you, Chief?
00:11:59Chief?
00:12:00You know how I'm Italian, right?
00:12:01Not Indian.
00:12:02Wait, you're not Indian?
00:12:03No.
00:12:04Give me another night, Chief.
00:12:19Chief, you know how I'm Italian, right?
00:12:22Not Indian.
00:12:24Wait, you're not Indian?
00:12:26No.
00:12:29Americanos never know the difference between us, my amigo.
00:12:32You're Mexican?
00:12:34No.
00:12:38You tied your boots too tight.
00:12:39You're going to cut off circulation.
00:12:40You're not going to be able to see your feet.
00:12:41I can't feel my feet as it is already.
00:12:51Jack.
00:12:54I don't want to turn it like this.
00:12:59You know, back home, whenever I went on a stroll in the woods or anything like that,
00:13:03I'd always take a compass with me so I could find my way out.
00:13:07Sure.
00:13:10My brother, on the other hand, I mean, he could find his way out of anything.
00:13:12The kid would just use the sun, the woods, the stars, you name it.
00:13:16I mean, he...
00:13:17He was a Lewis, I was no Clark.
00:13:20Let's put it that way.
00:13:22Did you miss him?
00:13:24Yeah.
00:13:26Yeah, I do.
00:13:28Seen the service?
00:13:28Yeah, actually, when this whole damn thing started, we enlisted together.
00:13:33Yeah.
00:13:34I guess we thought we'd be in the same unit and, you know, the army, they had different
00:13:38plans.
00:13:38Yeah, well, I know how that goes.
00:13:40I found that out the day I got my draft notice.
00:13:44Okay, you were drafted.
00:13:45Yeah, I was.
00:13:47Get out of here.
00:13:48I was a shoe salesman in Chicago.
00:13:50No.
00:13:51Yeah?
00:13:51Jack was a shoe salesman.
00:13:53That's right.
00:13:54It's crabby old ladies, mostly.
00:14:01Maybe you should have that.
00:14:02Jack, you're doing fine.
00:14:10Okay?
00:14:12Okay.
00:14:14All right, we gotta move.
00:14:16Tell the guys.
00:14:17Yes, Corporal.
00:14:19Asshole.
00:14:31Little Blue.
00:14:32Little Blue, over.
00:14:38Little Blue.
00:14:39Little Blue.
00:14:39Anyone out there?
00:14:40Over.
00:14:51All right, try that.
00:14:53Shit, turn it off.
00:14:54Turn it off.
00:14:55Hey, hey, hey.
00:14:56Killed my radio.
00:14:58You're the one using all the juice, Lefty.
00:15:01That's what we're gonna do now.
00:15:03Looks like we walk.
00:15:10Oh, thank Jesus.
00:15:16You boys having some trouble?
00:15:19We're glad to see you, sir.
00:15:20We're glad to see you, sir.
00:15:31What's wrong with her?
00:15:34Battery's dead.
00:15:35Yeah, well, batteries don't like the cold much, but...
00:15:38Then again, who does?
00:15:39Radio still work?
00:15:45She's got juice.
00:15:48So if we were to go ahead and, uh...
00:15:50Give you a jump, it should work just fine, huh?
00:15:53Yeah.
00:15:54I reckon it would.
00:15:55So you think you can give us a jump?
00:16:12Anybody else know you boys are out here?
00:16:16No.
00:16:16Just us.

00:16:20What the hell?

00:22:47And where the hell those goddamn German panzer tanks are!
00:23:00You okay, son?
00:23:02My old platoon was on the 755th.
00:23:05Our last communication was yesterday.
00:23:08Nothing.
00:23:13Well, listen up, son.
00:23:15Those boys you care about so much,
00:23:18they need you now more than ever.
00:23:21Understood?
00:23:22Right, sir.
00:23:23Okay, lieutenant.
00:23:24You find out where they are,
00:23:26and then get them back in the fight.
00:23:28Yes, sir.
00:23:34All right.
00:23:35Listen up, all of you.
00:23:40We're still in this fight.
00:23:42And I don't want to see any more defeated faces around me.
00:23:46Understood?
00:23:47Yes, sir.
00:23:48All right, carry on.
00:24:03Attention!
00:24:04Continue, gentlemen.
00:24:06Don't let me stop.
00:24:08General.
00:24:11Looks like we are in the thick of it, eh, Mike?
00:24:14Well, I hate to say so, Brad, but it would seem that way.
00:24:19Weather blew in a major German offensive, eh?
00:24:22Yeah.
00:24:23Bitter cold wind.
00:24:28Give it to me straight.
00:24:33Well, all reports said the same thing.
00:24:37Infantry, tanks, artillery, everything.
00:24:42And, uh, well, they're right down the Elzenborn Road.
00:24:45They're coming down the Gavin Road.
00:24:47And the Andar Bridge.
00:24:51You don't think this is a feint?
00:24:53No.
00:24:54It's not infantry doing reconnaissance and force.
00:24:56These are crack panzer divisions.
00:24:58I think Hitler's last reserves.
00:25:00And your division is in retreat?
00:25:06Well, tactical withdrawal we're referring it as.
00:25:09Do we have any available resistance?
00:25:12Any units that can muster a defense?
00:25:17No.
00:25:18Only small, isolated units.
00:25:19Platoons, companies doing what they can to stop the advance.
00:25:24Uh, I'm afraid that our flanks are exposed
00:25:28and they could surround us.
00:25:31Reserves?
00:25:34Unknown.
00:25:35I mean, we can't keep a commo wire up more than five minutes,
00:25:39much less lay a new one down.
00:25:43They have our flanks.
00:25:44They can cross the Meuse River.
00:25:49Right.
00:25:51And if they cross the Meuse River,
00:25:53they can go all the way to Antwerp
00:25:56and cut off the English Channel at our backs
00:26:00and separate us from the British who are up in Holland on our left.
00:26:06Our army should be trapped behind German lines
00:26:10without any hope for resupply.
00:26:15Hmm.
00:26:18Ike wants to know what I want to do.
00:26:22I want to know what you want to do.
00:26:29May I speak my mind?
00:26:30Speak it.
00:26:35Well, it just doesn't make any sense.
00:26:38What doesn't?
00:26:40Well, if the Germans are going to try to make it all the way to Antwerp,
00:26:45they're going to have to refuel.
00:26:46Those panzers use a lot of fuel.
00:26:49Lieutenant.
00:26:53We're the current fuel reserve estimates of the German army.
00:26:56If you're right, hold on a second.
00:26:57You're going to want to pay attention to this.
00:26:59We're making history here.
00:27:00If you're right, if he is right, then the Germans are going to want to refuel with our gas, which is...
00:27:05Well, where is it?
00:27:08Well, our biggest reserve is right here, just north of Lansrath.
00:27:13Which is where?
00:27:14Right down the Elzenberg Road.
00:27:18I think you're onto something there, Mike.
00:27:21Carry on.
00:27:23Give me those numbers, son.
00:27:26All right, you boys wait here.
00:27:28I'll see what we can do to help you all out.
00:27:33It just doesn't make any sense.
00:27:34I don't know what the hell these MPs doing walking around in the woods.
00:27:37Yeah, and you see the markings on that jeep?
00:27:39Uh-huh.
00:27:41That's one of our headquarters jeepers.
00:27:46There's a lot of jeeps around here.
00:27:49Could be a coincidence.
00:27:57Success?
00:27:59I got them out.
00:28:02Why are they here? Why don't you just kill them and be done with it?
00:28:05These men might be useful.
00:28:10Fine.
00:28:15Keep them alive.
00:28:17For now.
00:28:18Yes, sir.
00:28:20Looks like I got you boys a ride.
00:28:23Right this way.
00:28:25What about food?
00:28:27All you can eat.
00:28:28What do you want to do?
00:28:36I don't know.
00:28:37We don't have a choice now.
00:28:39Jack.
00:28:44Now, you boys be sure to keep your eyes peeled.
00:28:47Them Germans, they're everywhere.
00:28:49Jane, they're everywhere.
00:28:53Park, come on.
00:28:54Do them.
00:28:56Ah!
00:28:57Oh!
00:28:58Oh!
00:29:00All right.
00:29:04Hey.
00:29:06Ah.
00:29:08Oh.
00:29:10Oh.
00:29:12Oh!
00:29:13Oh.
00:29:14Oh!
00:29:15Oh, my God.
00:29:45Welcome back, Lieutenant.
00:29:50You're lucky.
00:29:51The bullet barely grazed your side.
00:29:52I had to sew you up myself.
00:29:54A couple of days rest and you should be okay.
00:29:57Where am I?
00:29:58Field Hospital, Lanzaroth.
00:30:00Or what's left of it.
00:30:06Thanks for fixing me up, ma'am.
00:30:08But I really gotta get going.
00:30:09You shouldn't be moving yet.
00:30:11The stitches need time to set.
00:30:12Lieutenant Kappa can't die.
00:30:16He's got the Lord on his side.
00:30:19Doc.
00:30:20It's good to see you too, sir.
00:30:22I found these.
00:30:29How?
00:30:30I was picked to buy a patrol and I was brought here.
00:30:34Decided to stick around and help out where I could.
00:30:36I really appreciate the fix, ma'am.
00:30:43I just can't stop.
00:30:44Here.
00:30:44You'll need this.
00:30:46Change the old with the new in the next 24 hours.
00:30:49Harris has the command room set up in the millhouse.
00:30:51You can't miss it.
00:30:52Who has command?
00:30:54Sergeant Harris.
00:30:56No officers?
00:30:57I'm the ranking officer here, Lieutenant.
00:30:58But they don't take field orders from nurses.
00:31:04Captain, I didn't mean...
00:31:06Or he didn't mean nothing by it.
00:31:08It's okay, Lieutenant.
00:31:11Change that bandage or I will find you and change it myself.
00:31:15Yes, Captain.
00:31:17Good to see you, Doc.
00:31:18Yes, sir.
00:31:19Do you think he knows?
00:31:29If he doesn't, he will soon enough.
00:31:37Sounds good.
00:31:49Attention!
00:31:56At ease, fellas.
00:31:59Glad you're still with us, Lieutenant.
00:32:01Thanks to you.
00:32:05What's your name?
00:32:07Gene.
00:32:07Kappa.
00:32:09I figured any man able to keep ahead of the whole damn German army
00:32:12is a man worth saving, Lieutenant Kappa.
00:32:14Gray's wound.
00:32:18Hurts like hell, don't it?
00:32:20Ain't no ticket home, though.
00:32:21No, it's not.
00:32:24And even if it was a million-dollar wound,
00:32:26it almost seems to be going home these days.
00:32:30Are you the ranking NCO?
00:32:33Yes, sir.
00:32:35Any officers?
00:32:37We lost Lieutenant Briggs a few days back.
00:32:39Just us now.
00:32:41350 field artillery.
00:32:44At least what's left of us.
00:32:50Well, where's your guns?
00:32:52Destroyed.
00:32:53We have a few long-timers and a handful of rounds between us.
00:32:57Just you colored.
00:32:58We picked up a few white does a day or two ago.
00:33:01But we have them sprinted out among our checkpoints.
00:33:10This is as bad as it looks, sir.
00:33:14We haven't had any contact in a long time.
00:33:20Germans are making a major push this way.
00:33:24Heavy infantry, tanks, artillery,
00:33:27all coming this way.
00:33:31Last orders I received, hold it all costs.
00:33:34So it's like that.
00:33:38So it seems, Sergeant.
00:33:47We created a few makeshift checkpoints
00:33:49and choke points around our perimeter.
00:33:52And we're here in the middle.
00:33:54The Germans have been probing all along our lines
00:33:56trying to cut off our position.
00:33:58I mean, hell, it's probably already cut off now
00:34:00and they're just trying to take it.
00:34:01Artillery?
00:34:05Incoming, I guess.
00:34:06But they're either short or long, nothing too close.
00:34:08But they don't have you zeroed in?
00:34:10It's not that, sir.
00:34:11They know exactly where the hit is.
00:34:13Well, they have you cut off.
00:34:14Why aren't they advancing?
00:34:17I'll show you.
00:34:17This is our large fuel supply
00:34:26within 15, 20 miles, I reckon.
00:34:29Why didn't you blow it?
00:34:31A black man destroying army property?
00:34:34No, sir.
00:34:36No orders to do that yet.
00:34:37What do you think we should do, sir?
00:34:50What do you mean?
00:34:51Well,
00:34:53I mean no disrespect.
00:34:56You are the only officer here.
00:34:57What's the best route in the town?
00:35:10Main road coming in.
00:35:12All right, let's go have a look.
00:35:22Any sign of the Germans?
00:35:23No, not on these roads.
00:35:24Sully.
00:35:30You're alive.
00:35:31Well, they haven't killed me yet.
00:35:33I can see they've tried.
00:35:34Are these your boys?
00:35:36What's left of them?
00:35:38Germans hit us hard, scattered, fell back.
00:35:41A lot of that going around.
00:35:43Nowhere left to run, sir.
00:35:46All right.
00:35:47Show me what you got.
00:35:49All right.
00:35:54Sir, we have a plane in the sky.
00:36:02One of our best pilots.
00:36:12Braxton 4, Braxton 4, Little Blue, over.
00:36:16Braxton 4, we copy.
00:36:17Captain, what do you see up there?
00:36:24Thick of soup, sir.
00:36:26I don't know how much longer we can stay up here.
00:36:28Over.
00:36:29Waters, they say that you're the best, can fly through anything, rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
00:36:33Over.
00:36:34The best?
00:36:35Is that how I volunteered for this mission?
00:36:37Over.
00:36:37Captain, you are my eyes, and I'm blind down here.
00:36:41Over.
00:36:42You don't mind me, sir.
00:36:43What are we doing up here?
00:36:47You're looking for the goddamn German army, Waters.
00:36:51We need to know if it's a major offensive.
00:36:53Over.
00:36:58What am I looking for?
00:36:59Over.
00:37:01You'll know it when you see it.
00:37:04Over.
00:37:05Copy that.
00:37:06Over now.
00:37:07Goddamn flyboy.
00:37:10I'd like to get him down here with the second division.
00:37:37And now, he's doing so good.
00:37:40All right.
00:37:41I'll just wait for it.
00:37:42All right.
00:37:44What am I looking for?
00:37:45I'm looking for tonight?
00:37:46Let's go.
00:38:16Let's go.
00:38:46Let's go.
00:38:49Sir.
00:38:51Private?
00:38:52Quiet.
00:38:57Germans.
00:38:58They're crawling over there.
00:39:03Plane, sir.
00:39:04That's one of ours.
00:39:06How can you tell?
00:39:08Low home of that engine?
00:39:10That's one of our scout planes, no doubt about it.
00:39:13Scout plane, huh?
00:39:16I'm gonna try something.
00:39:20Little Blue, Little Blue, over.
00:39:25Little Blue, Little Blue, over.
00:39:29Little Blue, Little Blue, come in.
00:39:33Major?
00:39:35Daniels, is that you?
00:39:37Geez.
00:39:38It's good to hear your voice, sir.
00:39:40Where are you?
00:39:41In a recon plane, in the clouds.
00:39:43We're looking for the enemy.
00:39:45I must be in range of your plane, sir.
00:39:48If you're looking for the Germans, you're not too far away.
00:39:51You see them?
00:39:53They're right in front of me, sir.
00:39:56We're gonna try to get a better view.
00:39:58We'll keep trying and keep the line open.
00:40:00Roger that, sir.
00:40:02We'll get underneath the clouds.
00:40:18I don't know what is underneath me, sir.
00:40:20If we run into a tree, that'll end this real fast.
00:40:23Waters, just do it.
00:40:29My, that is a lot of Germans.
00:40:32Confirmed.
00:40:33Looks like the whole damn German army.
00:40:35Location, 479 South 687.
00:40:39Repeat.
00:40:40479 South 687.
00:40:44Sir, I can't stay up here much longer.
00:40:46That's all I need, Captain.
00:40:48Get out of there.
00:40:50Come on home.
00:40:51Copy that.
00:41:01Did you get that, sir?
00:41:02Over.
00:41:03Sir.
00:41:04Over.
00:41:05Sir.
00:41:06Over.
00:41:07Damn it.
00:41:08Okay.
00:41:09It's time to go.
00:41:10Just trying to keep the ice off her, sir.
00:41:11She sure will run smooth.
00:41:12HE rounds mostly, sir.
00:41:13Though we do have a handful of AP rounds.
00:41:14The boys and I scrapped up everything we could.
00:41:15Couldn't we boys?
00:41:16Does it drive?
00:41:17Okay, it's time to go.
00:41:31Just trying to keep the ice off her, sir.
00:41:34She's sure we'll run smooth.
00:41:36HE rounds mostly, sir.
00:41:38Though we do have a handful of AP rounds.
00:41:40The boys and I scrapped up everything we could, couldn't we, boys?
00:41:44Does it drive?
00:41:47Shot, sir.
00:41:48Uh, drive wheel hit by a German mine.
00:41:52It was a hell of a time getting it out here.
00:41:56Uh, cranny's gone.
00:41:59This is our girl's last resting place.
00:42:06Old Lager Road.
00:42:08Not many people know about this spot, except for the locals.
00:42:12We thought it'd be best to move the tank here.
00:42:13But if the locals know about it, the crowds know about it.
00:42:18Hmm.
00:42:19Yeah.
00:42:20But it doesn't appear to be in action.
00:42:24It's, uh...
00:42:25Well, should be surprised when they come down this way.
00:42:29The Valley Creek should protect us from the east.
00:42:32The mines should protect our south flank.
00:42:34You know about those mines.
00:42:35The Germans will have a tough time coming through here.
00:42:43Damn right.
00:42:45But they will come.
00:42:48Lone ammunition.
00:42:50Not much for tank defense.
00:42:52No hope for friendly fire, artillery, or reinforcements.
00:42:57Sir, we can hold these positions.
00:43:02We can fight.
00:43:05The Germans haven't attacked in force.
00:43:08They will.
00:43:10And then what?
00:43:12What's left?
00:43:13Who's left?
00:43:14My platoon was, was ambushed.
00:43:32King Tiger.
00:43:35Came out of the woods, took everyone out.
00:43:40These men, these are...
00:43:42These are all we got.
00:43:47Sir, I...
00:43:48I...
00:43:49Just...
00:43:50I want to fight back.
00:43:55I owe my men that.
00:43:58I owe myself that.
00:44:09No.
00:44:09I'm losing no more men on my watch.
00:44:21Get your platoons off the line.
00:44:23Pull out with her.
00:44:34Yes, sir.
00:44:35Yes, sir.
00:44:35Linens, bandages, syrettes, morphine and plasma.
00:44:59How much longer?
00:45:01Maybe enough for another day.
00:45:03Maybe two if we're lucky.
00:45:04Ma'am, we don't have much left of anything.
00:45:07Food, water, maybe three days more is all.
00:45:11Find the ones that take priority.
00:45:13We ration the rest.
00:45:14Make do the best we can.
00:45:16Yes, ma'am.
00:45:19Something else, Hope?
00:45:20No, ma'am.
00:45:22It's just that, well, how can we help these men?
00:45:29Take it one day at a time.
00:45:30Stop the bleeding.
00:45:40Do we need more AB negative?
00:45:42We are out.
00:45:47No, we aren't.
00:45:50Matthew.
00:45:50Mary?
00:45:52It's okay.
00:45:54We can make more.
00:45:55I can make more.
00:45:55I can make more.
00:45:55I can make more.
00:45:56I can make more.
00:46:00I can make more.
00:46:18You're too tough for them crowds, sir.
00:46:45When we didn't run into the woods, we thought the worst.
00:46:50Hey, where's Rock?
00:46:58Rock didn't make it.
00:47:07He was a good man.
00:47:10He was.
00:47:14Lieutenant, are you the one in charge here?
00:47:17Yes, sir.
00:47:19This depot is still intact?
00:47:21Guns, fuel, ammunition?
00:47:23Yes, sir.
00:47:24But, uh, we're just about to blow it.
00:47:27Sir, I gave the order to blow the depot.
00:47:30Leave nothing for the Germans.
00:47:33Well, that's very smart, Lieutenant.
00:47:34Very smart indeed.
00:47:35I mean, them Germans, they'll be here any minute.
00:47:38But y'all don't have to worry about anything else.
00:47:40Just make sure you don't leave anything on the way out, all right?
00:47:43Sir, I've already given the orders.
00:47:46Well, the orders have changed, Lieutenant.
00:47:49We'll handle this.
00:47:51Sir, we have wounded, and they need to leave.
00:47:55We'll get them evacuated as soon as possible.
00:47:58Sir, may I say that?
00:48:00May I say that?
00:48:01I'm sorry.
00:48:02Am I the lieutenant or are you?
00:48:05All right?
00:48:06When I say jump, you say how high.
00:48:07That's how this works.
00:48:08All right?
00:48:09I'm in charge.
00:48:10Tell me you understand.
00:48:11Do you understand?
00:48:15Do you understand me?
00:48:17But, sir, we have critical wounded, and I'm not leaving without one.
00:48:30Fine.
00:48:35You boys, you go ahead, you take who you want.
00:48:38Let me know if you need a hand.
00:48:40Thank you, sir.
00:48:41See you around the depot.
00:48:47We're with you, sir.
00:48:51Let's start gathering the wounded.
00:49:00Well, that confirms it.
00:49:07Major German offensive tanks and troops in the thousands.
00:49:09Recon was a success.
00:49:12The Elsenborn Bridge is the northern edge of the German offensive.
00:49:19All they gotta do is swing up to the north and cut us and the British off.
00:49:24Yes, but if we could form a bottleneck on that road,
00:49:29we might be able to force the Germans southeast,
00:49:32and Patton and his third army are down there.
00:49:34Yeah, well, that won't stop them.
00:49:37Well, maybe not, but, sir, I have to say, that is, that's rough terrain.
00:49:44Thick forests, thin intersecting logging roads.
00:49:47The Germans will have a hell of a time trying to supply their tanks there.
00:49:51I'll report this back to Ike, see what he wants to do.
00:49:54Okay.
00:49:55Now, there's been some disturbing reports of English-speaking Germans
00:50:00dressed in American military uniforms moving in and out of our lines.
00:50:06Krauts pretending to be Americans?
00:50:09Damn good English, too.
00:50:11That's troubling.
00:50:13Command has been put on high alert.
00:50:15That bad?
00:50:17Yet to be seen.
00:50:18Mike.
00:50:22It's good work.
00:50:25Duck.
00:50:27That's the last of those that can be moved, sir.
00:50:28The rest need to stay where they are.
00:50:29Sir, I'd like to request to stay behind.
00:50:30Are you sure?
00:50:31Yes, sir.
00:50:32Hey!
00:50:33You're not authorized to take that jeep.
00:50:34This is one of ours.
00:50:35It belongs to our HQ.
00:50:36Sergeant.
00:50:37Yes, sir.
00:50:38Hey!
00:50:39You're not authorized to take that jeep.
00:50:40This is one of ours.
00:50:41It belongs to our HQ.
00:50:42Sergeant.
00:50:43this does belong to us.
00:50:44I was.
00:50:45I'm sorry, sir.
00:50:46I can't let you take that jeep.
00:50:47What's the problem here?
00:50:49This jeep belongs to our division.
00:50:50And we need it to move out our wounded.
00:50:52And do we need any wounded?
00:50:55We need� before he gave you
00:51:08Welcome back.
00:51:10See?
00:51:11All right.
00:51:12Yeah.
00:51:13Hmm. Request denied, Lieutenant.
00:51:16We need these vehicles to, uh, conduct our operations.
00:51:19You, your boys, the wounded,
00:51:21y'all are gonna have to walk out of here.
00:51:24Well, then we're not leaving, sir.
00:51:30Are you disobeying an order?
00:51:32No, sir. Just waiting for clarification.
00:51:41Well, fine. Go ahead. Take him.
00:51:43We're in and out of time anyway.
00:51:47Gentlemen.
00:51:51Sir, something's a little bit off about our new friends here.
00:52:02You might need this.
00:52:09All right. Let's move out.
00:52:11Mark Gilmore!
00:52:12Mark Gilmore!
00:52:13Go!
00:52:24Inform Hoss Fuhrer Piper that the petrol supply is ours.
00:52:29Any American outposts?
00:52:30Any remaining, let's see that they're disposed of.
00:52:37What do you want us to do with the remaining American wounded?
00:52:41Them two.
00:52:43Yes, sir.
00:52:44We got foot side.
00:53:02You gonna reinforce us?
00:53:03We're falling back, Jax.
00:53:06You be that bad?
00:53:07Nah, just tack the boy of draw.
00:53:09Keep them in low.
00:53:10I don't want to cross no one we're up to.
00:53:13Outposts.
00:53:17Pull them last.
00:53:20Say thanks, Jax.
00:53:21It's my war now.
00:53:36Off to your Piper, sir.
00:53:41Hello, sir?
00:53:45Yes, sir.
00:53:45I'm looking at it right now.
00:53:50Yes, sir.
00:53:52Advance into town.
00:53:56We'll be ready.
00:53:58Out.
00:54:02Get them boys on the petrol first.
00:54:04I don't want a drop spill.
00:54:06Yes, sir.
00:54:07Take the lead out of your boots, Sergeant.
00:54:09Come on, get a move on.
00:54:12What are we standing around for?
00:54:14Let's go, let's go, come on.
00:54:16We have to do everything around here.
00:54:30Sir?
00:54:31Get your men prepared to leave off the line.
00:54:33We're blowing the details.
00:54:34What about the Germans?
00:54:36We're gonna regroup and link up.
00:54:39Are you okay with that?
00:54:40We have the MPs?
00:54:44They're just gonna have to handle it from here.
00:54:47Yes, sir.
00:54:48Someone give me a hand in!
00:54:50Daniels?
00:54:59Captain!
00:55:01Have a day to find you.
00:55:03Let's get him to this jeep.
00:55:04All right.
00:55:04Get water, water.
00:55:10Here you go, sir.
00:55:17Heavy German infantry.
00:55:18An army coming down the road.
00:55:20It's a good thing we find you then, sir.
00:55:22Hey.
00:55:23We're getting out of here.
00:55:25Pulling out.
00:55:25Hey.
00:55:33Where'd you find this?
00:55:35MPs in town, sir.
00:55:36Figured it was one of ours.
00:55:41Military police.
00:55:43Okay.
00:55:45This is my jeep.
00:55:50This is my jeep.
00:55:51My men were ambushed by military police.
00:55:55They killed everyone.
00:55:56I managed to get away.
00:56:02You think those are the same guys?
00:56:03Had to be.
00:56:04This is my headquarters jeep.
00:56:09You guys came in with them.
00:56:10What do you think?
00:56:13Something sure did seem off about them, sir.
00:56:18They're German, sir.
00:56:18We gotta go back.
00:56:19Sully, we got heavy German armor coming down the road.
00:56:25Tanks, half-tracks, half the damn German army.
00:56:28How are they looking?
00:56:29Sergeant?
00:56:30Were they expecting a fight?
00:56:32I don't know, Sarge.
00:56:33They don't know we're here.
00:56:35I suppose they didn't seem ready for a fight.
00:56:39What do you think, Gene?
00:56:42We can't leave the depot.
00:56:45What do we do, run and hide, or do we stay and fight?
00:56:47We have to fight?
00:56:56What's your plan, Lieutenant?
00:57:01Give me some rumors.
00:57:02Yes, sir.
00:57:06Hey, listen up!
00:57:08I want everybody locked and loaded, all right?
00:57:10We shoot our way out of this place.
00:57:12We need to be ready.
00:57:12Sir, I'm on Garand.
00:57:18I haven't shot one of those since Basic.
00:57:20Give me something else.
00:57:21Okay, uh...
00:57:23All right.
00:57:25How about a grease gun?
00:57:28That's something else.
00:57:29Hey, what's going on, Private?
00:57:41Check in on frequency 473.
00:57:43What's it say?
00:57:46The Germans are preparing.
00:57:49Hold fire until the last minute.
00:57:51And then we fall back.
00:57:55We're blowing the depot.
00:57:57Good luck, Gene.
00:57:59We fight?
00:58:01We fight.
00:58:02Hey, we fight.
00:58:03Tell Cap's men we are ready.
00:58:06Right, Sarge.
00:58:08What now?
00:58:09Ready the tanks.
00:58:10Make sure they don't see us unaware.
00:58:12We're not aware.
00:58:17Hey, Lieutenant.
00:58:18Yeah, we heard you had a change of heart, sir.
00:58:23Those American MPs?
00:58:24Yeah, they're Germans in American uniforms.
00:58:26Those sneaky kraut bastards.
00:58:28Germans are coming in thinking they hold the town.
00:58:30We're going to get the jump on them.
00:58:31They're going to be mad as hell.
00:58:32Yeah, we've been ready for this.
00:58:34When you hear the depot explode,
00:58:36that's your signal to fall back.
00:58:37Hell yeah.
00:58:39Good luck, Sergeant.
00:58:40Yes, sir.
00:58:43We're going to war.
00:58:45We're going to war.
00:58:48Hey, Rudy.
00:58:55Yeah?
00:58:55Rudy.
00:58:56Where's that Wayne kid?
00:58:57Haven't seen him.
00:59:01Everybody's ready, Captain.
00:59:02All right.
00:59:03When we get into town,
00:59:05let me do all the talking.
00:59:07If there needs to be any shooting,
00:59:10wait for my signal.
00:59:11Yes, sir.
00:59:12Sure, you're ready for this?
00:59:18I'm the only one they won't recognize.
00:59:20Just make sure we have time to row that depot.
00:59:24Germans, coming in.
00:59:26That's our cue.
00:59:27Good luck.
00:59:28Men are ready, sir.
00:59:38Good.
00:59:41Think the Germans will fall for it?
00:59:47These will help?
00:59:49This is going to work.
00:59:53This will work.
00:59:54Right.
00:59:54Thanks.
00:59:57Good, it's going to be higher.
01:00:00Bye.
01:00:00Bye.
01:00:16Bye.
01:00:17Bye.
01:00:17Bye.
01:00:17Bye.
01:00:17Bye.
01:00:18Bye.
01:00:19Bye.
01:00:20Bye.
01:00:21Bye.
01:00:22Bye.
01:00:23Bye.
01:00:23So
01:00:53Is there a problem, soldier?
01:01:19Say that again, private.
01:01:23Hell of a thing, Sarge.
01:01:27The Germans are coming, and our officers are looking at fighting them.
01:01:31Checkpoints are still up?
01:01:33It's looking that way, sir.
01:01:35They sent you back here to tell us that?
01:01:40Not exactly.
01:01:42I figured shooting it out here would be better than in the woods.
01:01:47You did good, private.
01:01:49Did good.
01:01:53Okay, okay.
01:02:11All right, boys.
01:02:31Wait for it.
01:02:39Come on.
01:02:41Come on.
01:02:47We're all friends here.
01:02:51What's the fucking difference?
01:02:52Oh, boy.
01:02:54Hey, the crowds are coming.
01:02:56Hey, Sarge!
01:02:57Eyes forward.
01:02:59Sarge, what's going on?
01:03:00The crowds are making a push.
01:03:01Be on the ready.
01:03:09You ready, boys?
01:03:10You ready?
01:03:13Price was at the ready!
01:03:15No one fires until I give the signal.
01:03:21Is that judge ready?
01:03:23Jory's in session.
01:03:24Sir, we got a problem.
01:03:31What is it?
01:03:32The Americans still hold the checkpoints.
01:03:36Get command on the radio now!
01:03:38What are you doing standing here still?
01:03:40I don't care if you've got to walk barefoot.
01:03:42Get your butt out there and do something.
01:03:45What do you got, lead in your boots?
01:03:46Let's go on the double.
01:03:47God damn it!
01:03:59Come on, guys.
01:04:03You're sure this is going to work, right?
01:04:04It's going to work.
01:04:05All right.
01:04:05Just keep smiling and waving like an idiot.
01:04:10Wait for it.
01:04:11Wait for it!
01:04:30Wait for it!
01:04:31Wait for it!
01:04:31Time's up.
01:04:47Turn it!
01:04:50I better get it!
01:05:01Go, on the double.
01:05:20Move!
01:05:21Four, Newhart, on the western flank.
01:05:23Scott, Pike, I want you on the south.
01:05:25Look sharp.
01:05:27Hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa!
01:05:31What did I do for you, Captain?
01:05:34Howdy.
01:05:51Hey!
01:06:01Wait for it!
01:06:15I got it!
01:06:16Check it!
01:06:18I got it!
01:06:32Now!
01:06:32I got it!
01:06:35Get out!
01:06:35Get out!
01:06:35Hey!
01:06:40Get out!
01:06:41Hey!
01:06:42Go, I got it!
01:06:43You got it!
01:06:44Please, I got it!
01:06:44Hit him!
01:06:46Got her! On the way!
01:06:54Reload!
01:07:04Hit him again!
01:07:06Again! Hit him again!
01:07:14Hit him again!
01:07:28Here they come!
01:07:32No one fires until I give the signal!
01:07:36Hold it!
01:07:38Hold it!
01:07:44Fire!
01:07:46Fire!
01:07:48Fire!
01:08:10Sir! We're under attack!
01:08:12We're under attack!
01:08:20The pencil! The pencil! The pencil!
01:08:22Just wait for my signal
01:08:45Covering fire
01:08:52Pour on him!
01:09:22Again! Hit him again!
01:09:42I'm running low on the 30.
01:09:45Alright. I'm on the 50.
01:09:52Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
01:10:00Go!
01:10:02Go!
01:10:04Go!
01:10:08Go!
01:10:10Go!
01:10:12Go!
01:10:16Go!
01:10:18Go!
01:10:24Alright. Hey.
01:10:26Forward perimeter.
01:10:27Yes, Corporal!
01:10:28How long?
01:10:29Five minutes to set the charge. Five minutes to get the hell out of Dodge.
01:10:31Ten minutes, Pap. Just say ten minutes.
01:10:32You worry about the time. Let me worry about this.
01:10:34Okay. I'll cover you.
01:10:35Okay. Hey.
01:10:36Covering fire!
01:10:46I'll cover you.
01:10:47No.
01:10:48I'll cover you.
01:10:49No, you won't fight.
01:10:54I'm not one of the guards.
01:10:57You're 50!
01:11:00Help me, boy. I've got a hole.
01:11:01Let me get the signal.
01:11:03No! No! No! No! No! That's lost!
01:11:05No! No! No! No!
01:11:09Get this out of here, Lucille.
01:11:12You sure this is a good idea, sir?
01:11:40Best idea I've had in the war.
01:11:42Yeah, I heard about Bokaj.
01:11:44I hated the Bokaj.
01:11:46Sir, how many shots we got?
01:11:49Two. Better make me count.
01:11:51All right, let's go. Let's go.
01:11:59Corporal! We got a problem here!
01:12:01What is it, Pavlov?
01:12:03My timing device. It's not working.
01:12:05What does that mean?
01:12:06That means someone has to stay behind to do it manually.
01:12:10I'll do it.
01:12:12Oh, no.
01:12:14Wayne, what the hell happened?
01:12:16I'll do it. I'll stay behind.
01:12:18No, Wayne, we can't just leave you here.
01:12:20Please.
01:12:21Let me do this.
01:12:24Okay.
01:12:28Five minutes.
01:12:34It's okay. Go.
01:12:36Let's move out!
01:12:38Let's go! Let's go!
01:12:40What?
01:12:52Let's go!
01:13:04Jack! There!
01:13:34Get closer.
01:13:56Balthier! Firefly!
01:14:00Fire me!
01:14:04All right, let's go.
01:14:10Can't keep this up much longer.
01:14:16Did it work?
01:14:17Like a charm.
01:14:18Five minutes, the space lights up like Christmas.
01:14:21Move out!
01:14:22The patrol, the patrol, the patrol!
01:14:43Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
01:14:45The patrol, the patrol, go, go, go!
01:14:49Help him!
01:14:52That's the signal!
01:15:05Fall back!
01:15:06Fall back!
01:15:08That's the signal!
01:15:15Everybody, move it!
01:15:16Fall back!
01:15:17Fall back!
01:15:22Sir, the general.
01:15:26Attention!
01:15:27At ease.
01:15:27Sir, at ease.
01:15:29Mike?
01:15:31How was your trip?
01:15:33In trouble?
01:15:34Uh, no.
01:15:35No, no trouble.
01:15:37Though I did find myself detained by the military police as a suspected German infiltrator.
01:15:42Oh, how's that?
01:15:46What's the capital of Illinois?
01:15:49Springfield.
01:15:50Yeah.
01:15:51So I thought myself.
01:15:53Which one I suspected this young man is he himself, being an infiltrator?
01:15:58That or a product of poor education?
01:16:01Or simply harboring fond memories of a trip to Chicago?
01:16:03Oh, we're, we're, we're determining, uh, which, presently.
01:16:07Hmm.
01:16:09All these crowds, I tell you, they've got us all twisted up.
01:16:14They're kind of liars.
01:16:15They're turning road signs.
01:16:16So, sending us all willy-nilly.
01:16:19Well, they've rerouted the 375th and 376th regiments through Wallace Shield.
01:16:28And?
01:16:29And the crowd switched all the road signs.
01:16:32Half the division turned up in Frankfort.
01:16:34Oh, God.
01:16:36What about our artillery?
01:16:38Half made it.
01:16:40Half got jammed in the rear.
01:16:43Jesus, what did Ike say?
01:16:46We're gonna meet to discuss the options.
01:16:49Hmm.
01:16:54Mike, you've been in the thick of it.
01:16:57What would you do?
01:17:00Where do we make our stand?
01:17:11Best known.
01:17:13All reinforcements do best known.
01:17:15And that's where we make our stand.
01:17:19I'll tell the general.
01:17:26Sir?
01:17:30Thank you, sir.
01:17:33Well, you know, I said it before, Mike, and I'm gonna say it now, perhaps.
01:17:37Hopefully with more meaning.
01:17:40Major.
01:17:49What are your orders, sir?
01:17:51We're going to Bastogne, Haas.
01:17:53Prepare my jeep.
01:17:54Yes, sir.
01:17:55All right.
01:17:58Listen up, everyone.
01:18:01Orders to all units.
01:18:03Turn and fight.
01:18:06Stop the Germans, or at least try to slow them down.
01:18:09We need to buy time.
01:18:12Send out the order.
01:18:14Now.
01:18:14Yes, sir.
01:18:15Yes, sir, yes, sir.
01:18:24Bastogne.
01:18:24Is this all that's left?
01:18:46Good to see you, Sergeant.
01:18:48Hell of a show, Captain.
01:18:49But next time, make it quicker.
01:18:51Take that into consideration, Sergeant.
01:18:55East.
01:18:56The roads are open east.
01:18:58Bastogne?
01:18:59Bastogne.
01:19:00All right.
01:19:00Get in.
01:19:01We don't have any time to lose.
01:19:03Man up!
01:19:04Man up!
01:19:08Man up!
01:19:09Man up!
