- [soldier] Here they come!

[bomb explodes]

[indistinct chatter]

173
00:15:16,541 --> 00:15:18,123
Hey, Mick, you want in on this?

174
00:15:18,209 --> 00:15:21,202
- I don't strip the dead.
- You're a fool and you're Irish.

175
00:15:21,295 --> 00:15:23,774
- [O'Malley] Just leave me alone.
- [soldier] You all right, O'Malley?

176
00:15:23,798 --> 00:15:25,835
[indistinct chatter]

177
00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:27,416
Holy shit!

178
00:15:28,678 --> 00:15:31,762
Card, get a load of that.

179
00:15:31,848 --> 00:15:33,464
A Luger.

180
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,802
How come you're always getting
the good stuff?

181
00:15:37,895 --> 00:15:39,306
Just lucky, I guess.

182
00:15:40,690 --> 00:15:43,307
[dramatic music playing]

183
00:15:43,401 --> 00:15:45,063
[indistinct chatter]

184
00:15:54,412 --> 00:15:57,871
For Christ sake,
who did he kill for that?

185
00:15:57,957 --> 00:16:00,745
Hey, nothing's sacred anymore.

186
00:16:15,266 --> 00:16:17,804
- Snap out of it!
- [dramatic music playing]

187
00:16:43,836 --> 00:16:44,917
[Kirby] Sir?

188
00:16:47,173 --> 00:16:49,961
Trench is secure, sir.

189
00:16:50,051 --> 00:16:54,921
Thank you, Corporal. Um...
You send a runner?

190
00:16:55,932 --> 00:16:57,514
[Kirby] Yes, sir.

191
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,182
[Rivers] Okay. Any other news?

192
00:16:59,268 --> 00:17:03,512
The Huns are licked. Ahem.
Regiment's pouring in from all over.

193
00:17:03,606 --> 00:17:06,644
- We own this ground.
- Thank you, Corporal. Thank you.

194
00:17:13,699 --> 00:17:16,362
[stammers] There's something else?

195
00:17:16,452 --> 00:17:18,034
- Uh...
- [bomb exploding in distance]

196
00:17:19,247 --> 00:17:23,287
Yes. I mean, no, sir.

197
00:17:24,293 --> 00:17:27,752
- [stammers] It's been a long day.
- Okay.

198
00:17:27,838 --> 00:17:31,297
Corporal, why don't we go see
if we can find some real food?

199
00:17:33,344 --> 00:17:35,381
- Sir.
- Sergeant, Corporal.

200
00:17:35,471 --> 00:17:37,463
[dramatic music playing]

201
00:17:42,019 --> 00:17:45,433
[breathing hard]

202
00:17:45,523 --> 00:17:46,730
[exhales]

203
00:17:49,235 --> 00:17:51,648
[Rivers inhales, exhales]

204
00:17:58,953 --> 00:18:01,536
[dramatic music continues]

205
00:18:46,375 --> 00:18:49,493
Colonel, there's something I think
you should know about.

206
00:18:49,587 --> 00:18:50,919
What is it?

207
00:18:51,005 --> 00:18:53,213
We've broken
through the German lines at Argonne.

208
00:18:54,216 --> 00:18:56,754
- Has this been confirmed?
- Yes, twice.

209
00:19:00,431 --> 00:19:03,094
"D company of the 365th regiment

210
00:19:03,184 --> 00:19:06,473
has pushed six miles east of the last
known German front line.

211
00:19:06,562 --> 00:19:10,727
Last reported 0700 have not had further
contact." What is this?

212
00:19:10,816 --> 00:19:13,559
The 365th is a colored unit.

213
00:19:13,653 --> 00:19:16,942
Reports assume the company
has been cut off or lost.

214
00:19:18,282 --> 00:19:21,446
- They're trapped?
- Seems like it, sir.

215
00:19:22,495 --> 00:19:26,614
Sir, they are on the flanks
of the 77th Liberty division.

216
00:19:27,958 --> 00:19:31,247
- Widdle C's division?
- Yes, sir.

217
00:19:31,337 --> 00:19:33,875
- Has this hit the papers?
- [breathing hard] Not yet, sir.

218
00:19:38,594 --> 00:19:40,802
I've got to tell the General.
Come with me.

219
00:19:48,729 --> 00:19:50,516
Has there been any contact?

220
00:19:53,234 --> 00:19:57,945
- None so far, sir.
- We wanted to bring it to you right away.

221
00:20:02,993 --> 00:20:06,202
My second army has been making
major advances in the Argonne

222
00:20:06,288 --> 00:20:08,405
and these boys have done it.

223
00:20:08,499 --> 00:20:10,991
Permission to speak freely, sir.

224
00:20:14,964 --> 00:20:16,671
Please speak freely, Colonel.

225
00:20:20,803 --> 00:20:23,261
When the ceasefire commences...

226
00:20:24,598 --> 00:20:26,635
the last German position
held by the allies

227
00:20:26,726 --> 00:20:29,264
will become the new
French occupied country.

228
00:20:34,817 --> 00:20:36,900
What are you asking of me?

229
00:20:36,986 --> 00:20:38,443
Well...

230
00:20:39,655 --> 00:20:40,862
it's kind of complicated, sir.

231
00:20:40,948 --> 00:20:44,441
You see, on the one hand,
those boys could be heroes.

232
00:20:44,535 --> 00:20:50,076
Now, it would sure boost morale back home
with the coloreds, but on the other...

233
00:20:51,167 --> 00:20:53,250
The Germans are going to want
that hill back.

234
00:20:53,335 --> 00:20:55,577
[Colonel Morrison] Yes, they will, sir.

235
00:20:56,839 --> 00:21:01,800
That could be a publicity nightmare...
if they all get killed.

236
00:21:04,722 --> 00:21:07,465
Any update on their status?
Do we know if they're alive or dead?

237
00:21:07,558 --> 00:21:09,550
None so far, sir.

238
00:21:10,686 --> 00:21:11,686
[General Pershing] Hmm.

239
00:21:18,235 --> 00:21:20,101
Ahem. I'd like to read you something.

240
00:21:21,864 --> 00:21:22,864
Ahem.

241
00:21:35,711 --> 00:21:38,044
"Negroes,

242
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:41,669
like other people,
act upon motives.

243
00:21:43,385 --> 00:21:46,378
Why should they do anything for us

244
00:21:47,389 --> 00:21:49,506
if we will not do anything for them?

245
00:21:51,143 --> 00:21:53,430
If they stake their life for us,

246
00:21:54,438 --> 00:21:58,102
they must be prompted
by the strongest motive...

247
00:21:59,693 --> 00:22:02,060
even the promise of freedom.

248
00:22:02,154 --> 00:22:06,899
And the promise, being made,
is a promise that must be kept.

249
00:22:09,411 --> 00:22:11,403
One day peace will come.

250
00:22:12,414 --> 00:22:15,748
And then there will be
some black men

251
00:22:15,835 --> 00:22:18,794
who can remember that,
with silent tongue, and clenched teeth,

252
00:22:18,879 --> 00:22:23,089
and steady eye,
and well-poised bayonet,

253
00:22:23,175 --> 00:22:26,794
they have helped mankind
on to this great consummation.

254
00:22:28,931 --> 00:22:31,969
While, I fear,
there may be some white men...

255
00:22:33,394 --> 00:22:35,056
unable to forget...

256
00:22:36,397 --> 00:22:39,981
that with malignant heart
and deceitful speech...

257
00:22:42,611 --> 00:22:44,273
they strove to hinder it.

258
00:22:46,282 --> 00:22:48,194
Yours very truly, A. Lincoln."

259
00:22:49,451 --> 00:22:50,532
Ahem.

260
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:58,076
Alive or dead, these boys have...
they've done a lot in this war.

261
00:22:59,962 --> 00:23:02,329
What we're going to do
is we're going to find them...

262
00:23:04,008 --> 00:23:06,250
and we're going
to get them down off that hill.

263
00:23:09,263 --> 00:23:11,050
[soldier] Well, is that it?

264
00:23:12,141 --> 00:23:16,101
Is that all they could muster?
They are off-time, man.

265
00:23:16,186 --> 00:23:18,519
And the target.

266
00:23:18,606 --> 00:23:20,222
[stammers]

267
00:23:20,316 --> 00:23:22,558
[Major Reddick]
They have nothing to add to it.

268
00:23:22,651 --> 00:23:25,064
I want results, not excuses.

269
00:23:25,154 --> 00:23:27,316
If you don't have them boys
from the 369th,

270
00:23:27,406 --> 00:23:29,384
get that artillery to the front.
There will be hell to pay!

271
00:23:29,408 --> 00:23:31,741
Okay? We have had too many casualties.
Now make it happen.

272
00:23:31,827 --> 00:23:33,113
That's an order!

273
00:23:35,122 --> 00:23:39,492
[sighs] Artillery was supposed
to get us a walking path into this sector,

274
00:23:39,585 --> 00:23:43,124
but they haven't been able to hit a thing.
Can you believe that?

275
00:23:44,131 --> 00:23:46,965
They haven't hit a target
in this goddamn war.

276
00:23:47,051 --> 00:23:48,542
How did you manage?

277
00:23:48,636 --> 00:23:52,095
Well, we, uh, we cleared out
sector three here, sir.

278
00:23:52,181 --> 00:23:55,800
Actually that's where we ran into those
colored soldiers from the 365th,

279
00:23:55,893 --> 00:23:59,261
that platoon, nobody seems to know
where those guys are.

280
00:23:59,355 --> 00:24:03,019
Also, um, the...
the boys from the 40th, they...

281
00:24:03,108 --> 00:24:05,270
they don't have enough training, sir.

282
00:24:05,361 --> 00:24:07,227
Some of them didn't even have rifles.

283
00:24:09,907 --> 00:24:11,273
Resistance?

284
00:24:11,367 --> 00:24:14,735
Yeah, there are machine guns
that we had to get by.

285
00:24:14,828 --> 00:24:16,628
I mean, they were spread out
evenly throughout

286
00:24:16,664 --> 00:24:20,658
and we had to dig in
and work the trenches one by one.

287
00:24:20,751 --> 00:24:22,868
I used the whole goddamn platoon.

288
00:24:25,172 --> 00:24:26,834
Casualties?

289
00:24:28,676 --> 00:24:30,087
Casualties.

290
00:24:31,553 --> 00:24:32,553
Yeah.

291
00:24:36,892 --> 00:24:37,892
Yes, sir.

292
00:24:41,438 --> 00:24:42,599
[Major Reddick sighs]

293
00:24:44,274 --> 00:24:45,731
It was a tough assignment, Will.

294
00:24:45,818 --> 00:24:48,401
Yes. It was, sir.

295
00:24:48,487 --> 00:24:50,399
It's good to be back.

296
00:24:51,407 --> 00:24:53,899
Will, I have another assignment for you.

297
00:24:57,496 --> 00:25:01,115
That platoon from the coloreds
is cut off behind enemy lines.

298
00:25:02,126 --> 00:25:06,211
Division wants a search party to head out,
find them, and bring them back.

299
00:25:08,298 --> 00:25:10,415
Uh, I don't know, sir.

300
00:25:10,509 --> 00:25:13,217
Some of my men don't get
along well with the coloreds.

301
00:25:15,055 --> 00:25:17,593
Well, that's straight from the top.

302
00:25:21,145 --> 00:25:22,261
Yes, sir.

303
00:25:30,195 --> 00:25:32,107
Give me that other map.

304
00:25:32,197 --> 00:25:33,637
[Richardson]
They want us to do what?

305
00:25:33,699 --> 00:25:37,113
[Rivers] You and I'll take a patrol
over to section 32.

306
00:25:37,202 --> 00:25:39,285
A patrol? Like four or five men?

307
00:25:39,371 --> 00:25:41,237
Yeah, there's a platoon from the 365th

308
00:25:41,331 --> 00:25:43,823
that needs a little help
getting back to friendly lines.

309
00:25:43,917 --> 00:25:47,126
- Those colored boys again?
- [Rivers] Yeah.

310
00:25:47,212 --> 00:25:49,169
This isn't going to be easy, sir.

311
00:25:49,256 --> 00:25:53,170
- The Germans are still out there.
- So it seems, Thomas.

312
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:56,549
They do know that the war
is almost over, right?

313
00:25:56,638 --> 00:25:59,176
- Yeah. Last time I checked.
- [sighs]

314
00:26:00,184 --> 00:26:01,550
Sir.

315
00:26:03,479 --> 00:26:06,688
You know how most of the men feel
about the colored troops.

316
00:26:09,234 --> 00:26:11,066
It's Captain Roberts' men.

317
00:26:12,279 --> 00:26:14,362
And Captain Roberts is dead.

318
00:26:15,741 --> 00:26:17,903
[inhales, exhales]

319
00:26:21,038 --> 00:26:22,574
All right. Who are we taking?

320
00:26:24,041 --> 00:26:28,706
Kirby, Pinchelli, O'Malley,
Quinn and Cardinni, okay?

321
00:26:28,796 --> 00:26:31,129
- The regulars, then?
- I guess so.

322
00:26:31,215 --> 00:26:33,332
Have them squared away
and ready to go in 30.

323
00:26:33,425 --> 00:26:34,586
Where are you going?

324
00:26:35,594 --> 00:26:38,803
- I'm going to find our runner.
- A runner?

325
00:26:38,889 --> 00:26:40,175
Yes, sir.

326
00:26:49,775 --> 00:26:50,936
[Morse code beeping]

327
00:26:58,117 --> 00:27:01,155
- Can I help you, Captain?
- I'm looking for a Private Cain.

328
00:27:01,245 --> 00:27:03,362
[sighs]

329
00:27:03,455 --> 00:27:07,324
Jenkins, get your lazy ass up.

330
00:27:08,752 --> 00:27:10,459
Go and see if you can find Cain.

331
00:27:10,546 --> 00:27:11,878
Yes, sir.

332
00:27:13,549 --> 00:27:16,166
I don't know what good he'll do you.

333
00:27:16,260 --> 00:27:18,297
Nigger don't know a goddamn thing.

334
00:27:18,387 --> 00:27:21,846
[stammers] I beg your pardon, Captain.

335
00:27:21,932 --> 00:27:24,766
Are you looking for that Roberts platoon?

336
00:27:24,852 --> 00:27:27,310
[laughs] No shit.

337
00:27:27,396 --> 00:27:30,480
I think they should just let them French
bastards figure those niggers out.

338
00:27:32,901 --> 00:27:36,611
[stammers] I, uh, I wouldn't know,
Captain.

339
00:27:36,697 --> 00:27:39,314
You never had a nigger
under your command?

340
00:27:40,325 --> 00:27:41,907
- No.
- [dry chuckle]

341
00:27:42,911 --> 00:27:45,153
Troublesome bunch, them niggers.

342
00:27:46,999 --> 00:27:49,116
They ain't as smart as you and me.

343
00:27:50,419 --> 00:27:52,001
Again, I wouldn't know.

344
00:27:52,087 --> 00:27:57,378
Uncle Sam dresses 'em up,
gives them a uniform, calls them soldiers.

345
00:27:58,385 --> 00:28:00,297
It's all just a damn show.

346
00:28:02,055 --> 00:28:04,468
Let me give you some advice, Captain.

347
00:28:06,268 --> 00:28:08,100
Don't find them niggers.

348
00:28:09,521 --> 00:28:11,513
They deserve what's coming to 'em.

349
00:28:13,567 --> 00:28:15,229
You don't want this.

350
00:28:16,236 --> 00:28:21,277
You get stuck commanding these dumb apes.
That's my burden.

351
00:28:32,502 --> 00:28:35,040
Well, are you just going
to stand there, boy, or what?

352
00:28:37,883 --> 00:28:40,967
Private John A. Cain,
reporting as ordered, sir.

353
00:28:41,053 --> 00:28:44,387
See? A nigger can have some manners.

354
00:28:46,183 --> 00:28:47,264
Right?

355
00:28:51,688 --> 00:28:57,025
You have been reassigned

356
00:28:57,110 --> 00:28:59,318
to this Captain.

357
00:29:02,282 --> 00:29:03,989
Understand?

358
00:29:06,203 --> 00:29:08,240
I understand, sir.

359
00:29:08,330 --> 00:29:09,616
You talking back to me, boy?

360
00:29:10,707 --> 00:29:12,539
Private, uh, gear and rifle?

361
00:29:12,626 --> 00:29:16,165
- No, sir.
- We'll get you some.

362
00:29:16,255 --> 00:29:19,043
Captain, thank you.

363
00:29:19,132 --> 00:29:20,543
I'll take it from here.

364
00:29:25,514 --> 00:29:26,514
Rivers...

365
00:29:27,641 --> 00:29:29,303
remember what I said.

366
00:29:30,394 --> 00:29:32,681
You don't want to end up like me.

367
00:29:35,899 --> 00:29:37,481
Captain.

368
00:30:00,173 --> 00:30:02,836
Just grab a rifle and any gear
you need right here.

369
00:30:02,926 --> 00:30:03,962
[Cain] Thank you.

370
00:30:05,554 --> 00:30:09,594
Now when you, uh, left your platoon
who was, uh, commanding officer?

371
00:30:09,683 --> 00:30:13,552
Sergeant Perry, sir.
I'm not sure about him now.

372
00:30:14,563 --> 00:30:17,021
I guess he still is. Old man won't die.

373
00:30:17,107 --> 00:30:19,190
Just grab as much ammo as you can.

374
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:22,820
Thank you, sir.

375
00:30:24,239 --> 00:30:25,525
For what?

376
00:30:27,701 --> 00:30:29,408
For sticking up for me back there.

377
00:30:31,496 --> 00:30:33,738
Let's get something straight.

378
00:30:33,832 --> 00:30:37,041
We're not friends.
I have orders to help find your platoon.

379
00:30:37,127 --> 00:30:39,335
That's all there is between us,
do you understand that?

380
00:30:42,507 --> 00:30:43,507
Yes, sir.

381
00:30:47,721 --> 00:30:50,259
[bomb explodes]

382
00:30:55,270 --> 00:30:57,262
[dramatic music playing]

383
00:31:38,897 --> 00:31:40,058
Why is he out front?

384
00:31:41,149 --> 00:31:42,149
What's the matter?

385
00:31:43,151 --> 00:31:44,187
I don't like it.

386
00:31:44,277 --> 00:31:46,394
Ol' Rivers must trust him
or he wouldn't be here.

387
00:31:46,488 --> 00:31:49,151
Yeah. No one asked
for your advice, bumpkin.

388
00:31:49,241 --> 00:31:52,279
Rescue some dumb louts that got
lost behind enemy lines.

389
00:31:52,369 --> 00:31:53,701
Great way to end the war.

390
00:31:53,787 --> 00:31:55,667
Yeah. If you ask me,
this whole mission is nuts.

391
00:31:55,747 --> 00:31:58,490
Yeah. I didn't join the army
to go on some spook rescue mission.

392
00:31:58,583 --> 00:32:00,290
You shouldn't call them that.

393
00:32:00,377 --> 00:32:03,245
Why? That is what they are.

394
00:32:03,338 --> 00:32:05,250
Oh, you think they like
being called that?

395
00:32:05,340 --> 00:32:07,502
No, sir. No.
They're just like you and me.

396
00:32:07,592 --> 00:32:10,050
- [scoffs]
- [bomb explodes in distance]

397
00:32:11,721 --> 00:32:14,589
- They ain't like me.
- Nobody's like you.

398
00:32:14,683 --> 00:32:16,723
Yeah, coming from the hayseed,
that don't mean much.

399
00:32:16,810 --> 00:32:19,223
- Yeah. Where are you from again?
- Missoula.

400
00:32:19,312 --> 00:32:20,803
What did you call me?

401
00:32:20,897 --> 00:32:23,105
Missoula, Montana.

402
00:32:26,403 --> 00:32:28,144
The hell you guys do
in Missoula, Montana?

403
00:32:29,281 --> 00:32:31,773
I don't know. This, mostly.

404
00:32:31,867 --> 00:32:33,859
Sounds great 'cause I ain't
never going to visit.

405
00:32:33,952 --> 00:32:35,952
It's actually a pretty
nice place, you know, the...

406
00:32:36,037 --> 00:32:39,280
- Oh, shut it, will you?
- I think you guys would really like it.

407
00:32:39,374 --> 00:32:42,833
No. No one cares 'cause there ain't
nothing like 41st Street back home.

408
00:32:42,919 --> 00:32:43,919
That's right.

409
00:32:46,965 --> 00:32:48,401
You're awfully quiet over there, Mick.

410
00:32:48,425 --> 00:32:51,964
Well, I'm carrying this heavy bastard
and I'm tired of your shit.

411
00:32:52,053 --> 00:32:53,531
Yeah. Well,
you ain't much better than me.

412
00:32:53,555 --> 00:32:57,674
The lot of youse, a bunch of smoked Irish
if you ask me.

413
00:32:58,685 --> 00:33:00,972
- I could go for a smoke.
- Yeah. And a pint.

414
00:33:01,062 --> 00:33:02,724
- Yeah. Me too.
- [soldier] Me too.

415
00:33:08,528 --> 00:33:10,770
Have you guys noticed anything weird
about the Captain?

416
00:33:11,865 --> 00:33:13,447
What?

417
00:33:13,533 --> 00:33:14,819
I don't know, he just seems off.

418
00:33:14,910 --> 00:33:16,276
Man, the Captain's just fine.

419
00:33:16,369 --> 00:33:18,890
Yeah. Pinchelli is probably getting
your guard down to steal all your stuff.

420
00:33:18,914 --> 00:33:19,950
Cool it, Card.

421
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,997
- No one is touching me.
- Cut it out, will ya?

422
00:33:22,083 --> 00:33:24,325
[leaves rustling]

423
00:33:24,419 --> 00:33:27,537
Sergeant, do you want me
to shut the men up, sir?

424
00:33:27,631 --> 00:33:29,167
No, no. They're okay.

425
00:33:30,592 --> 00:33:32,504
How is everything going up here, Captain?

426
00:33:32,594 --> 00:33:33,835
Fine as can be.

427
00:33:35,263 --> 00:33:37,050
How is he doing?

428
00:33:37,140 --> 00:33:39,177
Well, if he was lost,
we wouldn't know it.

429
00:33:40,810 --> 00:33:43,553
- He does know where he's going, though?
- No.

430
00:33:44,773 --> 00:33:47,481
We're heading
to their last known location.

431
00:33:49,444 --> 00:33:51,436
Do you think those men
are still out there?

432
00:33:53,698 --> 00:33:55,405
They're US soldiers.

433
00:33:55,492 --> 00:33:57,324
[bomb exploding]

434
00:33:57,410 --> 00:33:58,696
Yeah. But alive?

435
00:34:00,789 --> 00:34:01,950
I don't know.

436
00:34:02,958 --> 00:34:04,620
It's hard to say.

437
00:34:07,212 --> 00:34:10,330
Well, the war could be over
before we find them.

438
00:34:10,423 --> 00:34:13,166
[chuckles] Yeah, it could be.

439
00:34:13,260 --> 00:34:16,219
But when have we ever been that lucky?

440
00:34:17,806 --> 00:34:19,468
First time for everything, sir.

441
00:34:21,476 --> 00:34:22,683
Thomas.

442
00:34:26,856 --> 00:34:29,394
- [indistinct chatter]
- [coughing]

443
00:34:29,484 --> 00:34:31,128
- [Rivers] Sergeant?
- [Richardson] Yes, sir.

444
00:34:31,152 --> 00:34:33,439
- [Rivers] What is this?
- [Richardson] Pain station, sir.

445
00:34:33,530 --> 00:34:35,442
- Captain.
- [soldier coughs]

446
00:34:35,532 --> 00:34:36,568
- Captain.
- Nurse.

447
00:34:36,658 --> 00:34:38,219
- [soldiers groan]
- What's going on here?

448
00:34:38,243 --> 00:34:40,280
The Red Cross Field Hospital.

449
00:34:40,370 --> 00:34:43,363
- You're a long way from home...
- Miss Clairborne.

450
00:34:43,456 --> 00:34:46,415
Miss Clairborne,
uh, who are all these people?

451
00:34:46,501 --> 00:34:48,538
We've been collecting them from all over.

452
00:34:48,628 --> 00:34:51,792
Gassed. We do what we can for them here
and then we send them off for treatment.

453
00:34:52,799 --> 00:34:54,415
[Rivers] Am I looking at Germans?

454
00:34:54,509 --> 00:34:56,546
Yes. Them too.

455
00:34:56,636 --> 00:34:59,674
Every man is equal
in the eyes of the Red Cross.

456
00:34:59,764 --> 00:35:01,130
You're not safe here, miss.

457
00:35:01,224 --> 00:35:05,093
- Is anyone safe anywhere in this war?
- Well, no. I'm just saying that...

458
00:35:05,186 --> 00:35:07,929
- You're... that I'm a woman?
- [stammers] No, it's not that...

459
00:35:08,023 --> 00:35:11,357
Look, Captain,
I appreciate your concern,

460
00:35:11,443 --> 00:35:15,312
but this is what I signed up for.
This is my war.

461
00:35:15,405 --> 00:35:16,941
- Okay.
- Are you here to help?

462
00:35:17,032 --> 00:35:19,775
Uh, we would love to but, uh, we're
actually trying to make contact

463
00:35:21,244 --> 00:35:23,657
with a platoon
that was lost behind enemy lines.

464
00:35:23,747 --> 00:35:25,955
Negroes?

465
00:35:26,041 --> 00:35:29,330
- Yeah. Do you know where they are?
- We had a few come in this morning.

466
00:35:29,419 --> 00:35:31,786
Uh, hold on, uh, Private Cain?

467
00:35:33,298 --> 00:35:34,960
Uh, can you take us to them right away?

468
00:35:35,050 --> 00:35:36,586
- Yes.
- Uh, follow me.

469
00:35:44,559 --> 00:35:47,472
- They're right over here.
- Joseph?

470
00:35:47,562 --> 00:35:48,973
John?

471
00:35:50,065 --> 00:35:52,682
- [chuckles, breathing hard]
- I said I'd come back, didn't I?

472
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:56,902
You going to be all right?

473
00:36:00,784 --> 00:36:03,242
- Ma'am?
- For now, yes.

474
00:36:03,328 --> 00:36:05,365
What about the others?
Ask about the others.

475
00:36:05,455 --> 00:36:08,823
Hey, Joseph,
I brought some help.

476
00:36:08,917 --> 00:36:10,874
Where's the rest of the platoon?

477
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,828
[coughs]

478
00:36:13,922 --> 00:36:15,083
They hit us hard, John...

479
00:36:18,343 --> 00:36:20,050
but we held.

480
00:36:22,263 --> 00:36:24,050
We did hold.

481
00:36:24,140 --> 00:36:26,848
- Where are the others?
- [coughs]

482
00:36:27,852 --> 00:36:29,718
They're held up on the hill.

483
00:36:29,813 --> 00:36:32,806
- All dug in.
- How far?

484
00:36:35,902 --> 00:36:38,189
- I don't know.
- Joseph...

485
00:36:39,781 --> 00:36:42,023
Think. It's important.

486
00:36:44,619 --> 00:36:45,951
It's a large hill.

487
00:36:48,748 --> 00:36:54,210
We could see it for a distance,
five or six miles.

488
00:36:55,964 --> 00:36:58,297
- [Joseph breathing hard]
- That's good. Good job.

489
00:36:59,551 --> 00:37:01,042
- John?
- Yeah?

490
00:37:01,136 --> 00:37:02,502
Is it true?

491
00:37:04,639 --> 00:37:06,926
Is the war almost over?

492
00:37:07,016 --> 00:37:10,054
You bet it is.
We've almost got those Huns licked.

493
00:37:12,689 --> 00:37:14,396
I want to see my family.

494
00:37:14,482 --> 00:37:17,395
You'll see 'em.
You'll see 'em soon.

495
00:37:17,485 --> 00:37:20,978
- [Joseph coughing]
- Mary, more are coming in. Gas.

496
00:37:21,072 --> 00:37:22,563
Go.

497
00:37:22,657 --> 00:37:24,944
We're going to get really busy
and you two can't be here.

498
00:37:25,034 --> 00:37:26,275
Uh, nurse.

499
00:37:27,746 --> 00:37:31,740
- Thank you.
- Mary. My name is Mary.

500
00:37:31,833 --> 00:37:33,199
Be safe.

501
00:37:35,003 --> 00:37:36,443
- [Rivers] Private.
- [Joseph coughs]

502
00:37:38,923 --> 00:37:41,757
- Be safe.
- Thanks, brother.

503
00:37:44,053 --> 00:37:45,840
[breathing hard]

504
00:37:51,102 --> 00:37:52,809
[Cardinni] Oh, you want another?

505
00:37:54,773 --> 00:37:57,390
- [Rivers] Move the cards, gentlemen.
- [Richardson] Anything new?

506
00:37:57,484 --> 00:37:59,271
[Rivers] Move the friggin' cards.
Let's go.

507
00:38:00,612 --> 00:38:02,274
All right, listen.

508
00:38:02,363 --> 00:38:04,650
The Germans know that the war
is basically over.

509
00:38:04,741 --> 00:38:07,449
Any ground that's kept by the allies

510
00:38:07,535 --> 00:38:09,221
is going to be part
of the French countryside.

511
00:38:09,245 --> 00:38:10,781
The French would love to hear that.

512
00:38:10,872 --> 00:38:14,616
Joseph said they were dug in on a hill,
can see the countryside for miles.

513
00:38:14,709 --> 00:38:17,167
Now, take a look. We're here...

514
00:38:17,253 --> 00:38:21,497
and Hill 473 is on the river
just northwest of here.

515
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:24,629
Now that's the tallest hill in the sector.
They could be there.

516
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,460
Do we even know if they're still alive?

517
00:38:26,554 --> 00:38:28,716
Hey. If Joseph said they're there,
then they're there.

518
00:38:28,807 --> 00:38:30,719
- Yeah. Who's asking you?
- Shut it.

519
00:38:30,809 --> 00:38:34,348
Listen, dead or alive,
we're following these orders.

520
00:38:34,437 --> 00:38:36,099
Do you understand?

521
00:38:36,189 --> 00:38:38,647
All right? Are there any questions?

522
00:38:38,733 --> 00:38:40,850
I'm asking you a question.
Are there any questions?

523
00:38:40,944 --> 00:38:42,784
- [soldiers] No, sir.
- [Rivers] Okay, form up.

524
00:38:42,862 --> 00:38:45,104
- Sergeant, on me.
- [Richardson] Yes, sir.

525
00:38:45,198 --> 00:38:47,030
[Rivers] Gear up, boys.

526
00:38:48,576 --> 00:38:50,488
Still trying to find some lost nigs.

527
00:38:50,578 --> 00:38:53,015
What kind of world is this?
We should let the Germans finish them...

528
00:38:53,039 --> 00:38:54,996
- [soldier] Hey, hey, hey...
- [clamoring]

529
00:38:55,083 --> 00:38:56,393
- [Pinchelli] Save it! Save it.
- Calm down.

530
00:38:56,417 --> 00:38:57,686
[Cardinni] What, are you on his side?

531
00:38:57,710 --> 00:38:59,313
- What, are you on his side?
- Hey, come on, let him go.

532
00:38:59,337 --> 00:39:00,397
[Kirby] Cardinni, cool off.

533
00:39:00,421 --> 00:39:01,690
[Pinchelli] What are you two crying about?

534
00:39:01,714 --> 00:39:03,455
[Kirby] Pack up. Shut your mouth.

535
00:39:03,550 --> 00:39:05,542
[dramatic music playing]

536
00:39:43,298 --> 00:39:45,836
- [wind blowing]
- [leaves rustling]

537
00:39:56,019 --> 00:39:57,059
[Kirby] What do you think?

538
00:39:59,856 --> 00:40:01,063
Yeah, I don't know.

539
00:40:02,483 --> 00:40:04,566
It's hard to tell.

540
00:40:04,652 --> 00:40:07,941
- Maybe they got something to eat.
- Maybe nobody's home.

541
00:40:09,908 --> 00:40:11,945
Mick, I can't see a damn thing.

542
00:40:19,876 --> 00:40:22,914
- It looks empty to me.
- It doesn't mean it is.

543
00:40:25,340 --> 00:40:28,003
All right, tactical movement.
Two on, two off. Who's up?

544
00:40:32,096 --> 00:40:34,839
- Who's up?
- I'll go.

545
00:40:46,569 --> 00:40:47,855
[Kirby] I'll go.

546
00:40:57,372 --> 00:40:58,613
All right, on my mark.

547
00:41:07,131 --> 00:41:08,247
[gunshots]

548
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:15,011
- That's where I'd be.
- Get that Chauchat on them.

549
00:41:17,016 --> 00:41:18,302
[gunshots]

550
00:41:22,230 --> 00:41:24,688
[Rivers] Quinn, Pinchelli, you're up.

551
00:41:24,774 --> 00:41:26,015
[gunshots]

552
00:41:28,111 --> 00:41:32,606
Quinn, Pinchelli, go. You're up.
Go, go, go.

553
00:41:37,954 --> 00:41:38,954
[Rivers] Go!

554
00:41:41,124 --> 00:41:42,865
[O'Malley] I'm out. Reloading.

555
00:41:47,839 --> 00:41:49,796
[Richardson]
That MG is tearing us up.

556
00:41:51,217 --> 00:41:52,958
They have my position.

557
00:41:58,141 --> 00:41:59,598
Get down.

558
00:42:00,935 --> 00:42:03,348
[Rivers] Go, go, go, go!
You're up! Go!

559
00:42:05,565 --> 00:42:07,682
- You said you'd never do that again.
- I lied.

560
00:42:07,775 --> 00:42:08,891
[gunshots]

561
00:42:10,570 --> 00:42:12,170
- [Cardinni] Huns!
- [indistinct chatter]

562
00:42:18,411 --> 00:42:19,572
Jam!

563
00:42:21,956 --> 00:42:23,367
[g ru n t s]

564
00:42:24,542 --> 00:42:27,080
- [grunts]
- [gunshots]

565
00:42:34,469 --> 00:42:37,712
This is a tight spot, Will.
You got anymore tricks up your sleeve?

566
00:42:37,805 --> 00:42:39,341
- Nope. That's it.
- [sighs]

567
00:42:42,435 --> 00:42:43,846
All right, we're up.

568
00:42:49,067 --> 00:42:50,308
Go, go.

569
00:42:54,822 --> 00:42:57,109
- What the hell was that?
- [soldier] Clear!

570
00:43:01,871 --> 00:43:03,658
- Clear.
- [Simmons] Sir?

571
00:43:06,709 --> 00:43:09,417
You boys okay? Hell of a firefight.

572
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,291
Yeah, Lieutenant.

573
00:43:11,380 --> 00:43:13,588
[breathing hard] What outfit you with?

574
00:43:13,674 --> 00:43:15,916
General Russel Simmons, sir.
Thirty-third.

575
00:43:16,010 --> 00:43:19,424
Captain Will Rivers, 432nd.

576
00:43:19,514 --> 00:43:22,257
Germans pushed right up
our center. Cut us in two.

577
00:43:22,350 --> 00:43:25,058
Couldn't find these guys
until you and your boys got them talking.

578
00:43:25,144 --> 00:43:29,434
We've been looking for them all day.
Been wreaking havoc on our patrols.

579
00:43:29,524 --> 00:43:31,186
You're here to tell us the war is over?

580
00:43:31,275 --> 00:43:33,813
No. I'm afraid not.

581
00:43:34,821 --> 00:43:38,030
We're trying to make contact
with a platoon from the 365th.

582
00:43:38,116 --> 00:43:40,654
- They have been cut off.
- The Buffalo soldiers.

583
00:43:43,079 --> 00:43:47,198
- You know where they are?
- You've got to come with me, sir.

584
00:43:51,546 --> 00:43:53,629
The Germans have been
reinforcing this area all day.

585
00:43:53,714 --> 00:43:55,250
Mm-hmm. They're pulling back.

586
00:43:55,341 --> 00:43:59,301
End of the war, you'd think everybody
would be ready to stop the fighting.

587
00:43:59,387 --> 00:44:01,253
Nobody wants
to give up their territory.

588
00:44:01,347 --> 00:44:03,464
The French press us to attack,
Germans defend.

589
00:44:03,558 --> 00:44:05,800
There's a lot of that happening.

590
00:44:05,893 --> 00:44:08,556
Now, if you're looking for the 92nd,
I can't say I envy you.

591
00:44:10,398 --> 00:44:11,934
Hill 473.

592
00:44:12,024 --> 00:44:14,983
With three German battalions
between us and them.

593
00:44:15,069 --> 00:44:16,731
How can you be sure
they're up there?

594
00:44:16,821 --> 00:44:18,882
Germans have been laying
a thick blanket of artillery,

595
00:44:18,906 --> 00:44:20,863
concentrating on that hill.

596
00:44:20,950 --> 00:44:22,612
If they are anywhere,
they are there.

597
00:44:22,702 --> 00:44:25,240
You think we'll able to get
through the German line?

598
00:44:25,329 --> 00:44:28,743
It might be possible.
Still got a lot of open field out there.

599
00:44:28,833 --> 00:44:31,200
Germans send out patrols
and shoot at our patrols.

600
00:44:31,294 --> 00:44:34,128
You got artillery positions here and here,

601
00:44:34,213 --> 00:44:37,877
with a little, uh, mix of machine guns
guarding the flanks.

602
00:44:37,967 --> 00:44:40,505
That's a lot of area to cover.

603
00:44:42,138 --> 00:44:43,740
[Simmons] The Germans
are laid in for a siege.

604
00:44:43,764 --> 00:44:46,723
Whoever is on that hill
is gonna get hit hard.

605
00:44:46,809 --> 00:44:50,348
- And you're sure this isn't your guys?
- No. My platoons are all accounted for.

606
00:44:50,438 --> 00:44:53,598
And you're gonna have a hell of a time
finding them if they're not on that hill.

607
00:44:55,776 --> 00:44:57,938
- Can I have this?
- Yeah.

608
00:45:02,033 --> 00:45:05,151
If it was me, sir, I'd leave
those colored boys out there.

609
00:45:06,162 --> 00:45:09,746
The war is almost up. There's no reason
to go risking yourself for it.

610
00:45:13,836 --> 00:45:17,329
- Thanks for the map.
- Anything else I can do for you?

611
00:45:17,423 --> 00:45:20,211
Yeah. A nice warm place
for my men to sleep?

612
00:45:20,301 --> 00:45:22,008
We got a warm beer cellar.

613
00:45:24,096 --> 00:45:26,554
- I like warm beer.
- I like warm beer.

614
00:45:26,641 --> 00:45:30,100
Captain, I don't know what
you're doing, but good luck.

615
00:45:30,186 --> 00:45:34,305
Thank you, Lieutenant. To the cellar.

616
00:45:34,398 --> 00:45:35,479
Let's go.

617
00:45:39,111 --> 00:45:41,398
- [knocks on door]
- Come in.

618
00:45:43,032 --> 00:45:44,773
Am I disturbing you, sir?

619
00:45:44,867 --> 00:45:46,483
Not at all. Come on in.

620
00:45:50,539 --> 00:45:55,330
I just thought you should know.
The Germans have signed the ceasefire.

621
00:45:55,419 --> 00:45:56,830
It just came over the wire.

622
00:45:59,757 --> 00:46:01,749
What did they finally agree to?

623
00:46:05,137 --> 00:46:07,049
Summed up...

624
00:46:07,139 --> 00:46:08,880
a cessation of hostilities,

625
00:46:08,975 --> 00:46:12,685
the withdrawal of German forces
to behind the Rhine.

626
00:46:12,770 --> 00:46:16,559
Allied occupation of the Rhineland
and bridgeheads further east,

627
00:46:16,649 --> 00:46:20,643
the... preservation of infrastructure.

628
00:46:20,736 --> 00:46:24,355
The surrender of aircraft,
warships and military material.

629
00:46:24,448 --> 00:46:27,907
The complete release
of allied prisoners of war,

630
00:46:27,994 --> 00:46:31,283
in turn, civilians
and eventual reparation.

631
00:46:31,372 --> 00:46:33,739
No release of German prisoners

632
00:46:33,833 --> 00:46:38,703
and... no relaxation of the naval
blockade of Germany.

633
00:46:41,424 --> 00:46:44,383
- The war is over.
- The war is over, sir.

634
00:46:44,468 --> 00:46:46,255
[chuckles]

635
00:46:46,345 --> 00:46:48,007
When?

636
00:46:52,310 --> 00:46:56,475
"Terms will come into effect
11:00 a.m. November, the 11th."

637
00:46:56,564 --> 00:46:59,022
November the 11th.

638
00:46:59,108 --> 00:47:00,315
Does the President know?

639
00:47:01,694 --> 00:47:03,964
We got word from his chief of staff
and came right to you.

640
00:47:03,988 --> 00:47:07,402
Hmm. And they agree?

641
00:47:07,491 --> 00:47:10,450
President Wilson
couldn't be happier.

642
00:47:10,536 --> 00:47:14,371
Gonna make the announcement
to Congress and then the country.

643
00:47:14,457 --> 00:47:15,618
[bangs desk]

644
00:47:18,127 --> 00:47:19,127
[groans]

645
00:47:20,504 --> 00:47:21,790
Sir.

646
00:47:21,881 --> 00:47:25,215
- There's something else?
- Yes, sir.

647
00:47:25,301 --> 00:47:27,338
French high command have requested

648
00:47:27,428 --> 00:47:30,296
that we continue to press the Germans
'til the last minute.

649
00:47:31,557 --> 00:47:32,798
[sighs]

650
00:47:32,892 --> 00:47:34,099
Yes.

651
00:47:35,853 --> 00:47:38,140
So the French are looking
for more territory?

652
00:47:39,398 --> 00:47:41,481
It would appear that way, sir.

653
00:47:41,567 --> 00:47:44,184
Sometimes I wonder
the price of being an ally.

654
00:47:47,448 --> 00:47:49,110
A lot of good boys are gonna die.

655
00:47:50,910 --> 00:47:52,993
A lot of good boys already have.

656
00:47:56,248 --> 00:47:58,661
All right. Well...

657
00:48:02,338 --> 00:48:05,706
Tell the commanders there will be
no let up on the orders.

658
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,009
They're to follow
the same orders till 11:00 a.m.

659
00:48:10,638 --> 00:48:11,638
Sir?

660
00:48:11,722 --> 00:48:15,591
We will hunt those Hun bastards
until the very end.

661
00:48:15,684 --> 00:48:18,848
- 11:00 a.m., Colonel.
- It will be done, sir.

662
00:48:20,856 --> 00:48:22,472
- Hey, Jack?
- Yes, sir?

663
00:48:24,777 --> 00:48:26,894
Has there been any word
about those negroes?

664
00:48:26,987 --> 00:48:28,899
None that I know of, sir.

665
00:48:31,659 --> 00:48:33,696
We still don't have their location.

666
00:48:33,786 --> 00:48:37,780
No, sir, we... we don't.
May I ask you a question, sir?

667
00:48:40,042 --> 00:48:41,249
Sure.

668
00:48:43,754 --> 00:48:45,586
Why those negroes?

669
00:48:49,969 --> 00:48:52,211
You do know my nickname, don't you?

670
00:48:52,304 --> 00:48:54,591
Black Jack.

671
00:48:56,142 --> 00:48:59,726
I was the leader of the Tenth Cavalry
when it was a black unit.

672
00:49:01,272 --> 00:49:04,390
We ran up San Juan Hill together.

673
00:49:04,483 --> 00:49:08,568
Best goddamn soldiers, best fighting force
I've ever had the pleasure to command.

674
00:49:10,739 --> 00:49:13,573
- [bomb exploding]
- I'll put the word down the wire, sir.

675
00:49:13,659 --> 00:49:14,979
Let me know if you hear anything.

676
00:49:16,620 --> 00:49:18,077
[Colonel Morrison] Yes, sir.

677
00:49:22,543 --> 00:49:24,409
The war is over.

678
00:49:30,593 --> 00:49:31,800
[Rivers sighs]

679
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:42,261
Sir?

680
00:49:43,606 --> 00:49:46,599
- Sir, are you okay?
- Hmm?

681
00:49:46,692 --> 00:49:48,524
- You okay?
- Yeah.

682
00:49:48,611 --> 00:49:50,273
I... Yeah. I'm just tired.

683
00:49:50,362 --> 00:49:52,604
- Yeah. I bet.
- I'm good.

684
00:49:54,992 --> 00:49:56,733
Oh, yeah. Please.

685
00:49:59,830 --> 00:50:01,492
Good. That's enough.

686
00:50:05,794 --> 00:50:06,794
[bombs exploding]

687
00:50:09,340 --> 00:50:11,252
You want me to tell the others
to get some rest?

688
00:50:11,342 --> 00:50:15,336
No, no. Let them...
let them do what they're doing.

689
00:50:20,226 --> 00:50:23,185
You know, the war could come
to an end before daylight.

690
00:50:23,270 --> 00:50:25,683
- Yeah, maybe. [chuckles]
- [Richardson laughing]

691
00:50:27,233 --> 00:50:28,895
Maybe.

692
00:50:28,984 --> 00:50:31,192
It's funny, though...

693
00:50:31,278 --> 00:50:33,816
that they would send us out
so close to the end.

694
00:50:35,407 --> 00:50:37,114
Well, maybe it's important.

695
00:50:40,037 --> 00:50:44,281
It's just a lot of trouble to go rescue
a bunch of lost black boys.

696
00:50:51,173 --> 00:50:53,415
Do you remember
when we hit the French coast?

697
00:50:53,509 --> 00:50:56,718
[chuckles] My boots got soaked
with saltwater.

698
00:50:56,804 --> 00:50:58,644
I'd walk around
and they would squish for days.

699
00:51:00,349 --> 00:51:03,683
Well, when we were marching up
to the front, that's, uh...

700
00:51:03,769 --> 00:51:06,227
that's the first time
I ever saw a black soldier.

701
00:51:06,313 --> 00:51:08,179
- French, right?
- Yeah.

702
00:51:08,274 --> 00:51:10,857
They were marching back
from the front.

703
00:51:10,943 --> 00:51:12,525
And they wore these...

704
00:51:12,611 --> 00:51:18,232
what I suppose was ears and fingers
around their necks,

705
00:51:18,325 --> 00:51:19,845
like on a string.
Do you remember that?

706
00:51:21,328 --> 00:51:23,035
No. I don't remember that.

707
00:51:23,122 --> 00:51:24,863
- No?
- No. Mm-mm.

708
00:51:24,957 --> 00:51:28,997
I just... I remember thinking how strange
that was, I mean, to wear that around.

709
00:51:29,086 --> 00:51:33,046
And then I found out later
that these blacks were...

710
00:51:33,132 --> 00:51:36,421
were straight
from the French-African colonies.

711
00:51:36,510 --> 00:51:38,126
And in their tribes,

712
00:51:38,220 --> 00:51:44,262
they would wear the ears and the fingers
of their... of their enemies.

713
00:51:44,351 --> 00:51:47,719
You know it would show,
like, the true warrior spirit.

714
00:51:47,813 --> 00:51:53,184
You know like... like bravery
in combat, like, uh...

715
00:51:53,277 --> 00:51:55,644
- like trophies, something like that.
- Hmm.

716
00:51:55,738 --> 00:51:58,105
- Like the Indians?
- Yeah. Just like the Indians.

717
00:52:01,994 --> 00:52:03,906
Now that would be a sight to see.

718
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:07,372
Warriors.

719
00:52:09,168 --> 00:52:12,286
- Or barbarians, huh?
- We could ask some Indians.

720
00:52:12,379 --> 00:52:14,245
We could ask some Indians.
Find me an Indian.

721
00:52:14,340 --> 00:52:17,048
- [Richardson laughs]
- Can I have a refill?

722
00:52:20,888 --> 00:52:22,470
Good, good. Thank you.

723
00:52:27,645 --> 00:52:29,102
[grunts] Ahem.

724
00:52:34,318 --> 00:52:38,858
You know, um, Roberts and I joined
the army at the same time.

725
00:52:38,947 --> 00:52:39,947
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

726
00:52:40,032 --> 00:52:42,399
We came up as officers
at the same time too.

727
00:52:42,493 --> 00:52:44,155
- No shit.
- Yeah.

728
00:52:44,244 --> 00:52:45,655
Huh.

729
00:52:46,872 --> 00:52:50,661
So how did he come to be in command
of them colored fellas?

730
00:52:50,751 --> 00:52:54,961
Well, he always said that the color
of a man's skin did not make the man.

731
00:52:57,216 --> 00:52:58,832
I suppose it doesn't.

732
00:52:59,885 --> 00:53:03,629
Yeah... A lot of good it did him,
he's dead.

733
00:53:05,766 --> 00:53:07,803
We move out at dawn.

734
00:53:07,893 --> 00:53:11,307
- Right, sir.
- Oh, if, uh...

735
00:53:11,397 --> 00:53:14,185
- if the war ends while I'm sleeping...
- Uh-huh.

736
00:53:16,402 --> 00:53:18,564
- ...let me sleep.
- Yeah. [chuckles]

737
00:53:21,115 --> 00:53:23,482
- [groans]
- Night, sir.

738
00:53:30,249 --> 00:53:32,491
Hey, bumpkin, what are
you sewing on that old rag?

739
00:53:32,584 --> 00:53:33,791
I'm fixing it.

740
00:53:33,877 --> 00:53:35,960
Yeah. Aren't you supposed
to retire an old flag?

741
00:53:36,046 --> 00:53:38,789
Well, yeah. But she got
a lot of life left in her.

742
00:53:38,882 --> 00:53:40,089
Yeah, a lot of life.

743
00:53:40,175 --> 00:53:42,132
Drop it, Cardinni, all right?
Leave him be.

744
00:53:42,219 --> 00:53:44,339
Can we just play the game?
Stop bending my damn cards.

745
00:53:45,139 --> 00:53:46,630
[chuckles] I guess not.

746
00:53:54,022 --> 00:53:55,083
You think he wants to lose
some money?

747
00:53:55,107 --> 00:53:57,144
Everyone knows niggers
love to gamble. [chuckles]

748
00:53:57,234 --> 00:53:59,021
I told you to stop calling him that.

749
00:54:00,028 --> 00:54:01,144
Why?

750
00:54:01,238 --> 00:54:05,278
Every man deserves respect,
'til he don't.

751
00:54:05,367 --> 00:54:07,654
Some of your pa's country wisdom?

752
00:54:07,745 --> 00:54:10,362
- Missoula.
- [Cardinni laughs]

753
00:54:11,957 --> 00:54:14,540
- Where do you think you're going?
- Away from you.

754
00:54:16,086 --> 00:54:17,293
Yeah. Have fun.

755
00:54:24,553 --> 00:54:27,261
You want some coffee?

756
00:54:27,347 --> 00:54:28,633
Thank you.

757
00:54:30,267 --> 00:54:32,975
So you want to come join us?

758
00:54:33,061 --> 00:54:35,474
No. Not really.

759
00:54:35,564 --> 00:54:36,645
Yeah. I don't blame you.

760
00:54:37,983 --> 00:54:40,145
Ahem. You know,
they really are good guys.

761
00:54:42,029 --> 00:54:43,941
I'm sure they are.

762
00:54:44,031 --> 00:54:45,317
Yeah.

763
00:54:47,075 --> 00:54:49,032
Is that a letter to back home?

764
00:54:53,332 --> 00:54:55,574
I write my mom as often as I can.

765
00:54:57,252 --> 00:54:59,585
Well, I'm sure she likes that.

766
00:55:00,798 --> 00:55:04,132
My mom, uh, she can't read.

767
00:55:05,469 --> 00:55:08,257
You know, the thing
is I know she can't read, but...

768
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:14,556
Each letter back home
is proof I'm still alive. So, I write.

769
00:55:20,234 --> 00:55:21,350
So where are you from?

770
00:55:22,361 --> 00:55:24,944
- Brooklyn. Born and raised.
- Ah.

771
00:55:26,865 --> 00:55:27,865
You like it there?

772
00:55:27,950 --> 00:55:30,363
Too cold in the winter,
too hot in the summer

773
00:55:30,452 --> 00:55:32,739
Oh, wait a minute
you're describing Virginia.

774
00:55:32,830 --> 00:55:34,537
- [chuckles]
- That's what I'm thinking.

775
00:55:37,292 --> 00:55:41,753
My mom, man, she'll sit on the porch
all day waiting for one of these letters.

776
00:55:43,006 --> 00:55:46,590
When this whole mess of a war started,

777
00:55:46,677 --> 00:55:49,420
I was down at the recruiter's office
the next day.

778
00:55:50,430 --> 00:55:53,889
My mom, she begged me not to go.

779
00:55:53,976 --> 00:55:57,344
Didn't want me dying
in some white man's war.

780
00:55:57,437 --> 00:55:58,973
So why did you go then?

781
00:56:00,065 --> 00:56:02,978
I figured if you white folks saw us
coloreds fighting for your freedom...

782
00:56:04,194 --> 00:56:06,060
you'd see it right
to give us our freedom.

783
00:56:08,156 --> 00:56:09,317
Hmm.

784
00:56:11,493 --> 00:56:12,859
Catholic?

785
00:56:13,954 --> 00:56:15,365
Yes, sir.

786
00:56:15,455 --> 00:56:18,698
- Baptist myself.
- Oh, all right.

787
00:56:21,545 --> 00:56:24,629
You know, back in the forest,

788
00:56:24,715 --> 00:56:27,799
I saw you praying over the wounded,
all professional like.

789
00:56:30,804 --> 00:56:34,468
Uh, back home I was studying
to be a priest.

790
00:56:36,059 --> 00:56:37,641
And you're okay with killing?

791
00:56:42,482 --> 00:56:45,520
Ahem. Back at the church
I studied at...

792
00:56:46,862 --> 00:56:50,071
every now and then a group of kids
would come in on a field trip.

793
00:56:50,157 --> 00:56:54,151
The priest would ask them what they all
wanted to be when they grew up.

794
00:56:54,244 --> 00:56:56,236
And they each said
something different, you know,

795
00:56:56,330 --> 00:56:59,823
- policeman, fireman, cowboy.
- [chuckles]

796
00:57:03,545 --> 00:57:06,083
I believe I will pay for my sins.

797
00:57:07,341 --> 00:57:09,003
We all will.

798
00:57:10,844 --> 00:57:14,258
But I was willing
to sacrifice my soul...

799
00:57:15,807 --> 00:57:17,890
so that they wouldn't have to.

800
00:57:19,353 --> 00:57:22,721
I guess we're both fighting
for what we believe in, huh?

801
00:57:24,191 --> 00:57:25,932
Yeah, I guess we are.

802
00:57:28,820 --> 00:57:33,030
If you're praying, do mind putting
in a good word for me?

803
00:57:35,077 --> 00:57:37,535
- Of course.
- Thank you.

804
00:57:41,625 --> 00:57:42,957
[bomb exploding]

805
00:58:16,243 --> 00:58:17,923
[Cardinni]
What do you think happened here?

806
00:58:18,704 --> 00:58:20,616
It's got the Corporal spooked.

807
00:58:38,849 --> 00:58:40,715
[Richardson]
Sir, why have we stopped?

808
00:58:40,809 --> 00:58:43,301
- We should really keep moving.
- [Rivers] Private?

809
00:58:45,147 --> 00:58:46,934
Did you see something?

810
00:58:47,024 --> 00:58:50,267
I don't know, sir.
Something doesn't feel right.

811
00:58:52,529 --> 00:58:55,647
A lot of dead bodies, no sign of a fight.

812
00:58:55,741 --> 00:58:57,152
Something's wrong, sir.

813
00:58:58,243 --> 00:59:00,326
Maybe they got something
good on them.

814
00:59:00,412 --> 00:59:02,404
Maybe they've got some food.
[chuckles]

815
00:59:02,497 --> 00:59:05,456
Yeah, you got any requests for me?

816
00:59:05,542 --> 00:59:08,125
Hey, hey, you shouldn't
disrespect the dead.

817
00:59:08,211 --> 00:59:09,372
Why?

818
00:59:14,217 --> 00:59:15,708
[Pinchelli breathing hard]

819
00:59:19,139 --> 00:59:21,597
[retches, coughs]

820
00:59:21,683 --> 00:59:23,595
- [Cardinni] Pinch!
- [groans, sobs]

821
00:59:23,685 --> 00:59:25,365
[Richardson] Son of a bitch,
what happened?

822
00:59:25,395 --> 00:59:27,432
I was just looking
for souvenirs. Honest.

823
00:59:27,522 --> 00:59:29,834
- [Kirby] German grenade, sir, booby trap.
- Is it bad? How bad is it?

824
00:59:29,858 --> 00:59:31,002
It's not bad,
it's not bad, it's not bad,

825
00:59:31,026 --> 00:59:32,670
- it's not bad, it's not bad.
- [Pinchelli groans]

826
00:59:32,694 --> 00:59:34,005
You'll be fine,
you're going to be fine.

827
00:59:34,029 --> 00:59:36,069
- You're going to be fine.
- Put some whiskey on it.

828
00:59:36,156 --> 00:59:38,148
I feel cold, I feel cold.

829
00:59:38,241 --> 00:59:40,178
[Richardson] You're going
to be fine, Pinchelli. Hold on.

830
00:59:40,202 --> 00:59:41,387
[Rivers] Put some whiskey
on the wound.

831
00:59:41,411 --> 00:59:43,264
- I don't want to die.
- You're not going to die.

832
00:59:43,288 --> 00:59:45,325
God, I don't want to die here.

833
00:59:45,415 --> 00:59:48,158
- I don't want to die here.
- You're not going to die.

834
00:59:48,251 --> 00:59:50,651
- [Rivers] Give him some whiskey.
- I don't want to die, sir.

835
00:59:51,588 --> 00:59:53,625
[sobs]

836
00:59:53,715 --> 00:59:56,253
[Richardson sighs] Oh, Jesus.
Oh, Jesus.

837
00:59:56,343 --> 00:59:58,585
Come on.
Help me put pressure on it.

838
00:59:58,678 --> 01:00:00,518
- I gotta get back...
- You're going back home.

839
01:00:00,597 --> 01:00:02,837
You're going back home.
You're going back to 41st Street.

840
01:00:02,891 --> 01:00:06,555
- We're going back home.
- [mumbling]

841
01:00:09,147 --> 01:00:10,638
[sobs]

842
01:00:10,732 --> 01:00:13,572
- Here. Give it to my brother.
- [Cardinni] You give it to him yourself.

843
01:00:13,610 --> 01:00:17,024
You're going to give it to him yourself.
You're going to give it to him yourself.

844
01:00:17,114 --> 01:00:18,980
No, no, no, we're going home.
We're going home.

845
01:00:19,074 --> 01:00:21,566
God, I don't want to die here, Card.

846
01:00:21,660 --> 01:00:23,822
[coughing, breathing hard]

847
01:00:24,955 --> 01:00:27,823
[Cardinni] No, no.

848
01:00:27,916 --> 01:00:30,454
[retches, breathing hard]

849
01:00:38,385 --> 01:00:40,923
[sobbing]

850
01:00:43,306 --> 01:00:45,844
Eternal rest
be granted onto him, oh Lord.

851
01:01:06,079 --> 01:01:08,071
Son of a bitch!

852
01:01:08,165 --> 01:01:10,828
It's your fault! It's your fucking fault!

853
01:01:12,836 --> 01:01:14,668
[g ru n t i n g]

854
01:01:14,754 --> 01:01:16,916
[Richardson] Come on, come on.
Get off, get off.

855
01:01:17,007 --> 01:01:18,484
- Let me get him!
- [Rivers] Cardinni!

856
01:01:18,508 --> 01:01:20,486
- [Cain] I didn't want that!
- [Rivers] Cardinni, please!

857
01:01:20,510 --> 01:01:23,048
- [Cain] I didn't want that!
- [Rivers] Cardinni, relax!

858
01:01:23,138 --> 01:01:24,879
Let me at him! [screaming]

859
01:01:27,559 --> 01:01:30,427
Get off of me.

860
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:33,763
- [Cardinni screams]
- [Richardson] Hey, hey!

861
01:01:33,857 --> 01:01:37,146
Listen, you're out of line!

862
01:01:37,235 --> 01:01:39,852
You need to get your head on straight.

863
01:01:40,864 --> 01:01:44,107
I get it. Do you get me?

864
01:01:45,285 --> 01:01:47,277
Do you get me?

865
01:01:51,499 --> 01:01:53,912
Great idea, sir.

866
01:01:54,002 --> 01:01:55,743
We lost two of our guys doing it.

867
01:01:56,755 --> 01:01:58,121
[breathing hard]

868
01:01:59,716 --> 01:02:01,708
Sir!

869
01:02:02,886 --> 01:02:04,969
Why are we out here?

870
01:02:05,972 --> 01:02:08,339
We're getting killed
for a bunch of niggers!

871
01:02:13,021 --> 01:02:14,021
Guys, uh...

872
01:02:15,815 --> 01:02:17,932
- [bomb exploding is distance]
- A couple of things.

873
01:02:20,403 --> 01:02:22,065
- I, uh...
- [bomb explodes]

874
01:02:24,241 --> 01:02:28,201
I suffer from, um...
from shell shock.

875
01:02:30,580 --> 01:02:33,323
And I don't understand it.
I don't know what it is.

876
01:02:33,416 --> 01:02:36,875
I, uh... I'm not a coward.
I don't... I don't think I am.

877
01:02:38,505 --> 01:02:42,169
But when we took that German line...

878
01:02:43,301 --> 01:02:45,759
and your buddies were getting cut up...

879
01:02:48,181 --> 01:02:50,218
instead of being a leader, I, uh...

880
01:02:51,351 --> 01:02:53,468
I disintegrated. I, uh...

881
01:02:54,604 --> 01:02:58,314
I wanted to run,
I wanted to leave the war.

882
01:03:00,819 --> 01:03:04,529
I jumped up into the line
of fire and, uh,

883
01:03:04,614 --> 01:03:09,075
a black fella stopped me
and pulled me back into safety.

884
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:12,028
And, uh...

885
01:03:13,957 --> 01:03:15,414
here I am.

886
01:03:17,544 --> 01:03:20,662
Now these, uh... these men
that we're looking for...

887
01:03:22,090 --> 01:03:25,709
black or white, it doesn't matter!

888
01:03:26,803 --> 01:03:28,089
Now when you go home, sure.

889
01:03:28,179 --> 01:03:29,865
You can do what you want,
think what you want.

890
01:03:29,889 --> 01:03:31,676
You can treat black people
any way you like.

891
01:03:31,766 --> 01:03:32,766
When you meet your Maker,

892
01:03:32,851 --> 01:03:36,219
He'll make decisions about the choices
that you've conjured.

893
01:03:36,313 --> 01:03:39,226
But here, today...

894
01:03:40,233 --> 01:03:41,349
Now?

895
01:03:42,610 --> 01:03:45,478
Those men are soldiers
in the United States Army,

896
01:03:45,572 --> 01:03:47,404
I don't care what the color
of their skin is.

897
01:03:47,490 --> 01:03:49,982
We have orders to assist
in their evacuation.

898
01:03:57,459 --> 01:04:01,373
If you want to leave, leave.
Now's your chance.

899
01:04:04,674 --> 01:04:06,336
I understand.

900
01:04:13,558 --> 01:04:15,390
I'm staying.

901
01:04:16,394 --> 01:04:18,226
I'm staying.

902
01:04:21,733 --> 01:04:24,271
Bury your buddies before you go.

903
01:04:30,158 --> 01:04:31,444
Sergeant.

904
01:04:31,534 --> 01:04:34,072
[dramatic music playing]

905
01:05:54,534 --> 01:05:56,867
[airplane engines whirring]

906
01:06:05,962 --> 01:06:07,669
Sir?

907
01:06:07,755 --> 01:06:09,917
Here's your warfare right there.

908
01:06:10,008 --> 01:06:13,672
- [gunshots]
- I would say it is, sir.

909
01:06:13,761 --> 01:06:15,844
[General Pershing]
Too late for this one.

910
01:06:15,930 --> 01:06:17,283
Something I can do for you,
Colonel?

911
01:06:17,307 --> 01:06:19,799
We received word from the 77th, sir,
about the lost unit.

912
01:06:22,020 --> 01:06:25,434
They may still be alive, sir.
Holed up on Hill 174.

913
01:06:26,941 --> 01:06:30,275
- Alive?
- The Germans seem to think so.

914
01:06:33,656 --> 01:06:36,569
- Let's go get them. Bring them home.
- Yes, sir.

915
01:06:37,911 --> 01:06:39,903
[dramatic music playing]

916
01:06:42,749 --> 01:06:45,287
- [gunshots]
- [bomb explodes]

917
01:06:55,929 --> 01:06:57,215
[speaking German]

918
01:07:07,023 --> 01:07:09,561
- [gunshots]
- [soldiers screaming]

919
01:07:16,115 --> 01:07:19,574
- Who the heck is doing the shooting?
- Hell if I know. Watch the trees.

920
01:07:19,661 --> 01:07:20,721
[Johnson] We're coming out.

921
01:07:20,745 --> 01:07:22,737
[dramatic music playing]

922
01:07:25,375 --> 01:07:29,790
- [Cain] Johnson? [laughs]
- [Johnson] I'll be damned! Cain!

923
01:07:29,879 --> 01:07:32,496
- Man, am I glad to see you.
- [Johnson laughs]

924
01:07:32,590 --> 01:07:33,797
Sorry, sir.

925
01:07:33,883 --> 01:07:37,502
Uh, Corporal Johnson,
recon element of 365th.

926
01:07:37,595 --> 01:07:39,552
We were expecting a patrol.

927
01:07:39,639 --> 01:07:41,221
Didn't know they'd be on horses.

928
01:07:41,307 --> 01:07:45,551
William Rivers, Captain, I company.
Uh, you with the Buffalo soldiers?

929
01:07:45,645 --> 01:07:47,307
Yes, sir.

930
01:07:47,397 --> 01:07:49,935
- Well, let's go find them.
- Yes, sir. This way.

931
01:08:01,828 --> 01:08:03,990
Looks like you guys
got hit pretty hard.

932
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:07,494
Yes, sir. They came
and they, uh, they hit us hard.

933
01:08:07,584 --> 01:08:10,668
- How long you fellas been up here?
- Only a couple days, sir.

934
01:08:10,753 --> 01:08:12,961
Hell, it's hard to keep track of
sometimes.

935
01:08:13,047 --> 01:08:16,506
- No reinforcements?
- You are the first soldiers we've seen.

936
01:08:18,052 --> 01:08:20,214
Who and where
is your commanding officer?

937
01:08:20,305 --> 01:08:22,262
Oh, Sergeant Perry, he...
he's in there.

938
01:08:22,348 --> 01:08:25,637
All right. Uh, Sergeant,
position the men and wait here.

939
01:08:25,727 --> 01:08:27,559
- Yes, sir.
- Where do you want me, sir?

940
01:08:27,645 --> 01:08:29,456
- Come with me.
- [Richardson] All right, boys.

941
01:08:29,480 --> 01:08:32,689
Let's find some spots here
and up the road.

942
01:08:32,775 --> 01:08:34,311
Split up.

943
01:08:39,198 --> 01:08:41,611
- [Perry] Son of a bitch.
- [Cain laughing]

944
01:08:43,745 --> 01:08:48,115
- Oh, man, we didn't know if you made it.
- Ah, you know me, Sarge.

945
01:08:48,207 --> 01:08:50,164
- Captain?
- William Rivers.

946
01:08:51,169 --> 01:08:53,502
You brought our man back.
Thank you.

947
01:08:53,588 --> 01:08:56,171
- Are you here to reinforce us?
- No, Sergeant.

948
01:08:57,884 --> 01:08:59,591
Well, how many men did you bring?

949
01:09:00,637 --> 01:09:03,129
There's five of us left.

950
01:09:03,222 --> 01:09:05,805
Well, that's not much of a relief for us.

951
01:09:06,809 --> 01:09:10,928
Well, I have orders to bring you
and your boys back to friendly lines.

952
01:09:11,022 --> 01:09:14,766
Those orders come directly
from the command staff in Washington D.C.

953
01:09:14,859 --> 01:09:19,354
The war is almost finished, Sergeant.
It's time to evacuate this hill.

954
01:09:19,447 --> 01:09:21,359
Yeah, we've heard.

955
01:09:22,867 --> 01:09:24,733
The Germans been dropping those on us.

956
01:09:30,416 --> 01:09:31,657
And so why do you stay?

957
01:09:31,751 --> 01:09:37,292
Well, with all due respect, sir,
we will not be surrendering to the enemy.

958
01:09:37,382 --> 01:09:41,717
Well, with all due respect, Sergeant,
I lost two good men getting here.

959
01:09:41,803 --> 01:09:46,764
Private, would you step outside?
I'd like to speak with Rivers.

960
01:09:48,351 --> 01:09:49,808
Yes, Sergeant.

961
01:09:57,527 --> 01:09:59,519
I am sorry you lost your men.

962
01:10:00,863 --> 01:10:03,150
Do you have any news
on Captain Roberts?

963
01:10:03,241 --> 01:10:05,528
Captain Roberts is dead.

964
01:10:10,081 --> 01:10:11,913
He was your friend?

965
01:10:17,380 --> 01:10:19,918
He was a good man.

966
01:10:25,138 --> 01:10:27,801
Do you know how many men
I've lost taking this hill?

967
01:10:29,308 --> 01:10:30,594
No, Sergeant.

968
01:10:32,061 --> 01:10:33,427
Twenty-seven.

969
01:10:33,521 --> 01:10:37,014
- Brave men. All of them.
- I'm sure they were.

970
01:10:39,944 --> 01:10:42,277
We landed in France this summer,

971
01:10:42,363 --> 01:10:45,106
trained to fight, expecting to fight.

972
01:10:47,076 --> 01:10:49,363
They gave us shovels instead of guns.

973
01:10:50,913 --> 01:10:53,656
We dug ditches, carried ammo...

974
01:10:54,667 --> 01:10:56,203
hauled supplies.

975
01:10:57,754 --> 01:11:01,839
Captain Roberts begged and pleaded
for a real assignment,

976
01:11:01,924 --> 01:11:03,961
a chance to get in the fight.

977
01:11:04,051 --> 01:11:06,411
They told us that we were unfit to fight,
not ready for war.

978
01:11:09,390 --> 01:11:11,677
It must have been difficult
to listen to them.

979
01:11:12,685 --> 01:11:16,474
One day a real assignment came,
a real fight.

980
01:11:18,608 --> 01:11:20,975
We will hold this hill

981
01:11:21,068 --> 01:11:24,061
until reinforcements arrive,
or this war ends.

982
01:11:25,072 --> 01:11:30,113
You see, Captain,
these are our friendly lines,

983
01:11:30,203 --> 01:11:32,911
and we will not be abandoning them.

984
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,868
Are, uh, you aware...

985
01:11:40,755 --> 01:11:41,836
that after the war,

986
01:11:41,923 --> 01:11:47,840
any land that's held by allies
will, uh, be lost to the Germans?

987
01:11:49,931 --> 01:11:51,172
No.

988
01:11:51,265 --> 01:11:54,303
This hill that you've captured, Sergeant,

989
01:11:54,393 --> 01:11:57,431
is deep behind enemy lines. Several miles.

990
01:11:58,689 --> 01:12:01,602
They are going to want it back.
Hell, they are going to need it back.

991
01:12:01,692 --> 01:12:03,228
They're going to fight like dogs.

992
01:12:08,533 --> 01:12:10,149
Doesn't change anything.

993
01:12:11,452 --> 01:12:14,786
We will hold this hill.

994
01:12:17,333 --> 01:12:19,165
I understand why you're here, sir.

995
01:12:20,503 --> 01:12:21,960
We're choosing this fight.

996
01:12:22,964 --> 01:12:24,546
You don't have to.

997
01:12:26,759 --> 01:12:29,126
Well, what if I ordered you to?

998
01:12:31,055 --> 01:12:33,138
This is not your fight, Captain Rivers.

999
01:12:34,141 --> 01:12:38,101
You and your men still have plenty of time
to get back to friendly lines

1000
01:12:38,187 --> 01:12:41,646
and your... white friends.

1001
01:12:43,985 --> 01:12:46,022
You let me know what you decide.

1002
01:12:53,786 --> 01:12:56,324
[dramatic music playing]

1003
01:13:09,176 --> 01:13:10,176
Sir?

1004
01:13:16,392 --> 01:13:17,758
What did he say?

1005
01:13:19,770 --> 01:13:23,138
This is your company, John.
You don't have to follow me anymore.

1006
01:13:24,734 --> 01:13:27,898
Sir, if it's all the same to you...

1007
01:13:28,946 --> 01:13:30,858
I think I'll finish this ride with you.

1008
01:13:40,207 --> 01:13:42,745
So when do we leave?

1009
01:13:45,087 --> 01:13:46,703
We don't.

1010
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:54,003
Our orders are to bring
these men home.

1011
01:13:54,096 --> 01:13:57,680
- Stay and defend this hill.
- That's right.

1012
01:13:57,767 --> 01:14:00,305
And then we'll bring them home.

1013
01:14:03,606 --> 01:14:04,972
Sir, may I have a moment, please?

1014
01:14:15,368 --> 01:14:18,202
Germans are going to surround
this place any moment.

1015
01:14:18,287 --> 01:14:21,655
- How do we hold...
- We're going to stay and fight.

1016
01:14:21,749 --> 01:14:26,164
- Will...
- We are going to stay and fight.

1017
01:14:27,171 --> 01:14:28,787
Sir?

1018
01:14:31,676 --> 01:14:33,338
Can I say something?

1019
01:14:42,061 --> 01:14:46,101
Back home, the color of our skin
divides us.

1020
01:14:48,484 --> 01:14:49,484
But out here?

1021
01:14:51,404 --> 01:14:52,770
We're all one.

1022
01:14:56,701 --> 01:14:59,614
You are all my brothers.

1023
01:15:01,497 --> 01:15:04,831
And I will never forget
the bond we share...

1024
01:15:04,917 --> 01:15:06,874
or the blood we spilled.

1025
01:15:11,090 --> 01:15:12,422
Thank you.

1026
01:15:21,183 --> 01:15:25,803
Hell, I couldn't make it back
alone anyway. Probably get lost.

1027
01:15:25,896 --> 01:15:27,888
[dramatic music playing]

1028
01:15:31,527 --> 01:15:33,314
[Johnson] We've been scrounging
what we can.

1029
01:15:33,404 --> 01:15:38,115
Couple of B.A.R.s, rifles, grenades,
enough ammunition to last.

1030
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:40,442
Couple of French Cha-Chas,
but they don't work a damn.

1031
01:15:40,536 --> 01:15:43,745
Uh, and these captured
German machine guns.

1032
01:15:52,089 --> 01:15:53,876
All right. All right, look.

1033
01:15:53,966 --> 01:15:57,710
We... we are here, all right?

1034
01:15:57,803 --> 01:16:00,511
The Germans are going to want to hit us
at our weakest point.

1035
01:16:00,598 --> 01:16:03,136
- Where is that?
- Oh, there. The south side.

1036
01:16:03,225 --> 01:16:04,966
It also bumps up along those trees

1037
01:16:05,061 --> 01:16:06,955
and it'll be hard to see
if the enemy is approaching.

1038
01:16:06,979 --> 01:16:09,642
Okay. Now, if we position
our machine guns at the top of the apex,

1039
01:16:09,732 --> 01:16:12,600
Germans are going to want
to take those out for sure, so we don't.

1040
01:16:13,861 --> 01:16:18,151
We put our machine guns on the north side,
just below the crest.

1041
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:20,277
That will only work
if the Germans take the hill.

1042
01:16:20,367 --> 01:16:22,654
Right, that's why we bait the Germans.

1043
01:16:22,745 --> 01:16:25,988
We put men at the base
of the south side down here.

1044
01:16:26,082 --> 01:16:28,642
When the Germans attack,
we feint a retreat up and over the hill.

1045
01:16:28,667 --> 01:16:30,579
The Germans will follow.

1046
01:16:30,669 --> 01:16:33,127
- A trap.
- Yeah, that's correct.

1047
01:16:33,214 --> 01:16:35,581
It could work...

1048
01:16:35,674 --> 01:16:38,542
but what if they follow,
then we've lost our position?

1049
01:16:38,636 --> 01:16:40,423
No, no. This.

1050
01:16:40,513 --> 01:16:42,846
This little round top,
we hold it at all costs.

1051
01:16:42,932 --> 01:16:45,299
Our Custer's last stand.

1052
01:16:46,936 --> 01:16:49,178
I hope you boys know how to dig.

1053
01:16:49,271 --> 01:16:51,354
- Let's get to work.
- Yes, sir.

1054
01:16:53,359 --> 01:16:55,351
[dramatic music playing]

1055
01:17:09,250 --> 01:17:10,250
[Cain] Sir.

1056
01:17:17,633 --> 01:17:18,794
Thank you.

1057
01:17:43,868 --> 01:17:45,734
[exhales]

1058
01:17:45,828 --> 01:17:49,117
Soldier, thanks.

1059
01:18:02,386 --> 01:18:05,003
You know how to work
that thing, Cardinni?

1060
01:18:05,097 --> 01:18:07,339
- Yeah.
- You sure?

1061
01:18:11,187 --> 01:18:13,395
- Yeah.
- Simple enough.

1062
01:18:18,027 --> 01:18:19,768
- Sir.
- Yeah?

1063
01:18:19,862 --> 01:18:23,026
- The men are dug in as best they can be.
- Good.

1064
01:18:23,115 --> 01:18:26,699
Machine guns, grenades,
mortar rounds,

1065
01:18:26,785 --> 01:18:29,323
- and enough ammunition to last.
- What about our flanks?

1066
01:18:29,413 --> 01:18:31,905
- Men on both sides.
- Okay.

1067
01:18:32,958 --> 01:18:35,541
I guess all we can do now is wait.

1068
01:18:37,963 --> 01:18:38,963
No.

1069
01:18:42,676 --> 01:18:43,837
[Rivers chuckling]

1070
01:18:48,057 --> 01:18:49,057
Thank you.

1071
01:18:50,059 --> 01:18:52,597
[dramatic music playing]

1072
01:18:58,317 --> 01:19:00,684
- Guess I'll go check on the men.
- Yeah, okay.

1073
01:19:11,038 --> 01:19:13,576
- Private...
- Uh...

1074
01:19:18,420 --> 01:19:20,958
I want you to have this, sir.

1075
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:31,131
[bomb explodes]

1076
01:20:15,811 --> 01:20:16,811
[Cain] Sir?

1077
01:20:18,230 --> 01:20:19,230
Sir?

1078
01:20:23,986 --> 01:20:25,102
[Cain sighs]

1079
01:20:29,700 --> 01:20:31,487
The war's almost over, huh, sir?

1080
01:20:32,953 --> 01:20:34,160
Yeah, it is.

1081
01:20:35,164 --> 01:20:36,764
Do you think we can hold out until then?

1082
01:20:36,832 --> 01:20:39,199
Well, we'll see in the morning.

1083
01:20:48,177 --> 01:20:50,760
[soft chuckle] Amazing, isn't it?

1084
01:20:52,556 --> 01:20:54,468
What's that?

1085
01:20:54,558 --> 01:20:58,643
Same sky as back home,
just worlds apart.

1086
01:21:13,118 --> 01:21:14,575
[Rivers sighs]

1087
01:21:21,543 --> 01:21:23,876
- Private?
- Sir.

1088
01:21:23,962 --> 01:21:27,581
How does it feel to slap
a superior officer in the face?

1089
01:21:29,551 --> 01:21:32,760
- What are you talking about, sir?
- I know it was you.

1090
01:21:32,846 --> 01:21:35,008
I know you saved me.

1091
01:21:35,099 --> 01:21:37,933
- I didn't save anyone.
- No, why did you do it?

1092
01:21:38,018 --> 01:21:39,350
You didn't owe me anything.

1093
01:21:44,233 --> 01:21:45,895
Everyone gets scared, sir.

1094
01:21:47,152 --> 01:21:50,736
Sometimes all you need is just a little
encouragement to get through it.

1095
01:21:56,036 --> 01:21:58,494
- [Richardson] Sir?
- Sergeant.

1096
01:21:58,580 --> 01:22:00,867
German officer came in
under a white flag.

1097
01:22:01,875 --> 01:22:03,161
What does he want?

1098
01:22:04,253 --> 01:22:06,210
He wants to talk to you, sir.

1099
01:22:17,433 --> 01:22:19,015
I have told you, Corporal.

1100
01:22:23,188 --> 01:22:25,350
Captain, your men are a bit jumpy.

1101
01:22:26,358 --> 01:22:29,021
- Corporal?
- He's clean, sir.

1102
01:22:30,279 --> 01:22:32,316
May I put my hands down?

1103
01:22:33,323 --> 01:22:34,439
By all means.

1104
01:22:36,076 --> 01:22:37,658
[sighs]

1105
01:22:39,455 --> 01:22:41,617
Would any of you gentlemen
have a smoke?

[bombs exploding]

1107
01:23:19,745 --> 01:23:22,112
You cannot beat
Southern American tobacco.

1108
01:23:23,332 --> 01:23:26,325
You came under a white flag, Captain.
What do you want?

1109
01:23:29,671 --> 01:23:32,038
Always to the point, Americans.

1110
01:23:33,383 --> 01:23:34,624
I am here for your surrender.

1111
01:23:37,179 --> 01:23:38,465
Explain.

1112
01:23:38,555 --> 01:23:41,468
By now you have heard the war
is over tomorrow.

1113
01:23:41,558 --> 01:23:43,675
Eleven in the morning.

1114
01:23:43,769 --> 01:23:45,010
Correct.

1115
01:23:46,188 --> 01:23:48,851
Clearly, you can see
your position here is pointless,

1116
01:23:48,941 --> 01:23:51,024
and there is no need for more bloodshed.

1117
01:23:51,109 --> 01:23:54,102
I, uh...

1118
01:23:54,196 --> 01:23:56,984
I think we're gonna stay.

1119
01:23:59,868 --> 01:24:03,202
These colored boys here
have fought bravely.

1120
01:24:03,288 --> 01:24:04,529
I admire it.

1121
01:24:05,707 --> 01:24:08,324
But it is foolishness to continue.

1122
01:24:10,963 --> 01:24:13,205
I have two regiments
of troops and artillery

1123
01:24:13,298 --> 01:24:15,585
moving on this hill as we speak.

1124
01:24:16,718 --> 01:24:18,175
You are surrounded.

1125
01:24:18,262 --> 01:24:20,800
There's no hope
to survive when we attack.

1126
01:24:23,225 --> 01:24:26,093
Clearly you don't want
all your men to die.

1127
01:24:27,229 --> 01:24:28,970
Do you, Captain?

1128
01:24:32,901 --> 01:24:35,484
Corporal, Private,

1129
01:24:35,571 --> 01:24:39,565
would you please escort this Captain
back to our lines safely?

1130
01:24:39,658 --> 01:24:41,274
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

1131
01:24:42,953 --> 01:24:45,536
I will give you until dawn
to change your mind.

1132
01:24:51,628 --> 01:24:53,620
- But then I start the guns.
- [cocks weapon]

1133
01:25:11,106 --> 01:25:13,018
- Sir?
- Hmm? Yeah.

1134
01:25:13,108 --> 01:25:14,644
Still no sign of the enemy.

1135
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:19,279
Well, I trust the German
to keep his word.

1136
01:25:20,574 --> 01:25:22,440
Artillery is going
to be tough tomorrow, sir.

1137
01:25:22,534 --> 01:25:25,493
Yeah. Well,
I have an idea about that.

1138
01:25:27,539 --> 01:25:29,531
[speaking German]

1139
01:25:32,669 --> 01:25:36,037
- How many?
- Looks like three.

1140
01:25:36,131 --> 01:25:38,214
- Seventy-sixes?
- Yeah.

1141
01:25:40,510 --> 01:25:42,502
It's going to be hard
to get those guns, sir.

1142
01:25:42,596 --> 01:25:45,384
Well, we just need to buy time,
we don't need the guns.

1143
01:25:45,474 --> 01:25:47,887
We've got to get at
and destroy that ammo.

1144
01:25:47,976 --> 01:25:50,059
Bite the head off the snake.

1145
01:25:50,145 --> 01:25:52,353
No ammo, no steel rain.

1146
01:25:53,357 --> 01:25:56,725
Then they'll have to attack
our positions, force us out.

1147
01:25:57,986 --> 01:26:03,152
Sir, I'd like to lead the men in.
Give them Huns some hell.

1148
01:26:03,241 --> 01:26:06,780
- You sure about that, Sergeant?
- Yes, sir.

1149
01:26:08,330 --> 01:26:09,912
All right, listen to me.

1150
01:26:09,998 --> 01:26:13,241
You get in there and you hit them,
and you get out as fast as you can.

1151
01:26:13,335 --> 01:26:16,794
This is your hill, Sergeant.
I want you back here.

1152
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:18,166
Yes, sir.

01:26:32,521 --> 01:26:34,103
All right, men, this is it.

01:26:34,189 --> 01:26:37,148
Light and fast,
leave what you don't need.

1156
01:26:37,234 --> 01:26:40,102
Conserve your weapons
and your ammo.

1157

If it ain't black, kill it.
