"After Cole was killed" "We were taken to this kraut Captain Steiner." "About 10 miles behind the lines to a temporary prison compound." "Saunders smuggled me out." "He did it the next morning before the guard got my name on the roster." "Oh." "Alright." "Take it easy." "Is this the man from Saunder's squad, Lieutenant?" "Yes Sir." "Saunders and his men are still prisoners." "He sent this map back with Nelson." "Yeah." "Saunders marked all the kraut positions." "Captain." "The interrogating officers, are part of a SS Unit stationed near the prison." "SS?" "You sure of that?" "Yes Sir." "That's why Saunders took the risk of smuggling me out." "He" "Thought you'd want to know." "Yeah." "The krauts have been trying hard to grab prisoners all along the front." "But the most they can hope to get from Saunders and his men is minor technical information." "Sure." "Then all they have to do is take a lot of unrelated facts and maybe they'd fall into place." "All they have to know is we're weak in one sector." "Then they hit us with crack SS troops." "We're really in trouble." "I think the best thing we can do is hit them before they hit us." "I'm going out to Battalion." "Yes Sir." "Sir." "What about Saunders and the rest of his men, this uh," "Steiner will cut them to pieces trying. to find out how much of their mission they've got." "I'm sorry." "Sir." "If we move out, can't we get to Saunders and the other guys before the krauts move 'em back to another camp." "Nelson." "Saunders got you out." "Maybe he and the other boys have already made a break for it." "They can't, Lieutenant." "The guys have had it." "Even if Saunders could pull them in together." "The other prisoners." "The one's that were there when we were brought in." "They're scared." "Aker's their NCO." "Steiner's beaten him down, broke him." "You men all have been stupid." "I tried to enlist Sargeant Akers." "It would enlighten you newcomers." "But Sargeant Saunders chose not to be enlightened." "Last night's escape attempt has cost the life of one of his men." "(German)" "During last night's escape attempt, this man struck one of the guards." "He will die for it." "Beerdigung." "Since your men displayed such an aptitude for digging up the fence last night." "You will now dig a grave for your unfortunate comrade." "You will use whatever equipment you used last night." "Do neither eat, nor sleep nor drink, until the body is properly buried." "Give him dignity." "Bury him deep." "You did this." "Caje is next." "And Gates is half dead on a cot up there." "We're never gonna get out of here." "Get the tools." "Sarge." "Maybe Akers is right." "We did all we're supposed to do." "We tried to escape." "Get the tools." "What was your strength in this sector?" "Company?" "Battalion?" "The person that who got away." "He was from your group." "Did he have any information?" "You struck one of my men." "You will die for it." "Have your choice." "You can die mercifully." "Or slowly." "Now." "Your strength in this sector." "My name is.." "Paul Lemay." "My rank is" "Private First Class." "My serial number is one, 0" "(Whack)" "(groans)" "Nehmen Sie ihn weg." "I have a cousin in Stuttgart." "She was a gentle soul too." "She played the cello." "Then the war started." "She was put into a factory." "The work, the noise, was, too much for her." "She was transferred to Brunali." "She produced babies for the Reich." "She was of some use." "Grocery clerk." "There seems to be no place for you in this war." "(German)" "(German)" "Walk." "Move." "Sarge." "For God's sake." "You gotta do something." "He'll kill every last one of us." "You gotta tell him something." "Anything." "Saunders." "Don't you understand." "We've had it." "We're beat." "Alright." "Let's say we're beat." "Let's say it's just a matter of time before we're all lying in a hole just like this one." "All that we have to lose, is take a long shot." "If we're gonna die, let's die trying." "We might make it." "Akers." "You can't do their thinking for them anymore." "From here on in, every man has to make up his own mind." "Now are you with us or not?" "I'm with you." "We're all with you." "I ask again." "The man from your group who escaped." "Did he have information?" "What did you learn on your reconnaissance patrol the night before you were captured?" "Did you use your radio?" "Did you contact your superiors?" "You're a corps man." "You know how intense pain can be." "One Halloween, when I was about 3 years old" "A bunch of goblins and ghouls came to our house ." "Scared me so bad I screamed and ran right into the piano." "Took 20 stitches to sew up my head." "Next year, those same goblins and ghouls came around." "Screamed and stomped and hollered." "This time I just laughed." "Just a bunch of kids hiding behind their little Halloween masks." "The point is, Captain." "You only get so scared." "Wearing your masks is not gonna do it." "Perhaps you're right." "Perhaps not." "I'll think about it." "While you think about it." "(German)" "(German)" "Back, idiot." "How about digging a tunnel?" "We don't have any tools." "Oh we just.." "We just dug a grave." "Yeah." "With our bare hands." "Naw eh." "Even if we could dig a tunnel, Steiner would probably find it." "You think he would?" "He'd probably laugh himself sick at us." "When I was a kid I went to see a magic show." "It was a wonderful magician." "He did this trick." "After the show I went backstage and I asked him how he did the trick." "He wouldn't tell me." "He told me one thing though." "He said" "You get their attention with the one hand." "While the other one does the trick." "You mean, we really wouldn't use the tunnel?" "That's right." "Alright." "I give up." "What's the right hand gonna be doing." "While the left one builds the tunnel?" "The right hand, is gonna be doing.." "an electric gate." "Saunders." "You been out in the sun too long." "Nah." "It's simple enough." "The guard at the gate has got a key." "The key opens a lock." "When you electrocute the guard take the key." "And open the gate." "Oh, ah." "What about the other guards around the front?" "You wait till they're out of sight." "Every night they check the edge of the woods." "The guard at the gate might scream." "Well maybe he won't." "Maybe he'll just" "He'll just grunt." "It won't work Sarge." "It's DC." "Direct current." "You gotta have a good ground." "What if, uh." "What if you stand in water?" "What if it was muddy?" "Uh huh." "We gotta wait till it rains." "We can't wait." "Caje is gonna be shot." "We have no time." "What you gonna do Sarge?" "Don't know yet." "I don't know yet." "No." "Wait." "I don't want to go in there." "Please." "I can't stand pain." "Please." "Please." "Please." "Please go back." "Please." "I don't wanna die." "I don't wanna die." "Please." "I don't know anything." "I don't know anything." "My name is Kirby." "William G." "Serial number's 1-3-0-2-8-8-2" "I'm no longer interested in your personal statistics, private." "If your intellect was as substantial as your stubbornness, you'd be a genius." "As it is, would you give one the impression you're the brig of a jackass." "My name is jackass." "My serial number is" "I have no time for this." "In 24 hours, or less" "I could contact your father and mother" "And tell them that you're dead." "You could, contact my mother?" "I could." "Maybe you could give her a message for me." "Tell her that" "I'm a little tired of all those chocolate chip cookies she's been sending me." "Maybe she could send along a little fruitcake next time." "Heh, I think fruitcake would be just fine." "(Slap)" "(German)" "(phone) Rring..." "Rring" "Steiner." "(German)" "(German)" "(German)" "(German)" "Heil Hitler." "Steiner's lights are off." "That means he's probably finished interrogating for the night." "We can get some work done on the tunnel." "What's the use." "We're bushed." "We won't use that tunnel anyway." "Steiner's gotta believe this is a legitimate escape attempt." "Caje." "You go rest for a while." "Alright." "Littlejohn?" "You and I will channel adair awhile." "Come on." "How's it going?" "6 months and we're home free." "Littlejohn and I will take over now." "Okay." "I'll scrounge around the junk and see if I can find some wire." "Not too deep." "But it gives the krauts the message." "Right." "Flexible steel cable." "It's not going to be long enough." "Well." "We can unravel it." "Splice it together." "How we gonna sneak it to the fence?" "Hey." "Run it underground." "The guards would suspect that." "How you gonna do it?" "I don't know." "I'll figure something out." "Try and get the kinks out." "(German) outside" "(German)" "The water's off." "Next one goes in is gonna have to turn it on." "(German)" "(German)" "Good morning." "You men seem to have gotten your clothes dirty." "From your grave digging." "Looks that way." "I don't like to see my men so poorly dressed." "I'll have the guards bring in tubs of water" "You will all wash your clothes." "And there will be no reason for you to have dirty clothes tomorrow morning." "Will there?" "No." "No reason at all." "Hey Captain." "Yes." "I was thinking if things work out, maybe" "We can meet each other halfway.." "so no one gets hurt." "Are you saying that you intend to cooperate, Sargeant?" "It's a two way street." "Since you're in charge here, I figured you should make the first move." "You share the Sargeant's sentiments." "Sargeant may, may change his sentiments if you shoot me." "You really think so?" "Think so." "Bring the big one." "We'll see if this is indeed, a two way street." "Wait a minute." "Where you gonna hang it?" "On the fence." "Not the fence." "Wilson." "Give me the wire." "Let me see my clothes." "What are we waiting for?" "Sarge." "The clothes are wet." "It might short everything." "They'll dry." "What about the water from the hose?" "It didn't reach the gate." "Maybe Littlejohn can turn it on again when he comes back." "Suppose he can't do it?" "Well suppose he can?" "You got a better idea?" "Wanna take a train outta here?" "Wanna stand up for a three day pass?" "Come on." "Hand me some more clothes." "Hand it to me." "A wet fence." "I'll take it." "If the fuses don't blow, the line's good." "There's no short." "We got a weapon." "They're dry." "Let's pretend they're not." "I don't want Steiner wondering about this clothesline." "Leave some on and take some off." "He didn't make it." "Come with me." "Halt." "Captain." "Gates sichern." "Captain." "We're finished with the tubs." "What do you want us to do with them?" "Put them down." "The guards will take them away." "Steiner just turned out the lights." "He's probably left." "The time is right." "We'll make our move now." "I don't know?" "What if we get caught in a fight?" "Pinned down." "Steiner's got that field phone on his desk." "One call to the billet area and we'll have 200 krauts down on us." "That's why you better wait until I get into that house and make sure Steiner can't use that phone." "I want to get Gates out, when you hear the trucks go by." "An hour from morning." "Okay." "Whoopeee." "Let's go." "(German)" "What?" "Gib mir eine Zigarette eh." "Cigarette?" "Un cigarette eh, huh." "Cigaretten?" "Yeah, yeah." "Amer, american cigarette." "Ist en cool vas." "(German)even de rennik suk" "En suk?" "What's en suk?" "(German)" "All you want, you want some of this?" "Ja." "Gates." "Gates." "It's Saunders." "Come on Gates." "We're getting out of here." "He's sound asleep." "Come on." "Come on." "Put that down." "Steiner." "Hang it up." "Let's go." "Grocery clerk." "You don't really think you have the courage to kill me." "I'll wager..you never shot a man in your life." "At least, not like this." "When you could see his face." "You can't murder me." "That's what it'll be now." "You don't have the stomach for it." "You couldn't live with yourself." "Bang." "Bang." "Bang." "(German)" "Grocery clerk." "(German)" "Sarge." "Are you in there?" "What about Gates?" "He's dead." "Go...go, go, go." "Checkpoint." "Hang on Sarge." "(men yelling in triumph)" "(cheering and partying)" "Saunders." "Thanks for the lift." "Captain Jampel stopped by on his way back from the front." "He said the Sector is just about sewed up." "Gonna join the party?" "Some friends I'd like to drink to." "Mason, Cole, Rankin" "And Gates." "A scared little grocery clerk that lay in that room dying for 3 days while Steiner destroyed him." "And the grocery clerk killed the superman." "Sargeant." "Let's go drink to friends." "Subs by Jack T"
