1
00:00:50,425 --> 00:00:52,215
[in German] Mm. Where are you going?

2
00:00:52,302 --> 00:00:53,852
To make you breakfast.

3
00:00:53,928 --> 00:00:55,348
Mm. Stay here.

4
00:00:56,222 --> 00:00:57,182
[chuckles]

5
00:01:00,518 --> 00:01:01,898
I'll be right back.

6
00:01:13,698 --> 00:01:15,698
[car approaching]

7
00:01:31,049 --> 00:01:32,089
[man] Good day.

8
00:01:33,635 --> 00:01:34,965
Your husband, please?

9
00:01:35,053 --> 00:01:36,933
He is resting, Major.

10
00:01:42,727 --> 00:01:43,807
What are you doing?

11
00:01:45,313 --> 00:01:47,113
[Heymann] Who? Who are you?

12
00:01:49,609 --> 00:01:50,939
-[woman speaks German]
-[groans]

13
00:01:51,444 --> 00:01:53,824
What's going on here?

14
00:01:55,073 --> 00:01:55,913
[woman] Darling.

15
00:02:02,539 --> 00:02:03,959
What is going on?

16
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:06,538
[crowd murmuring]

17
00:02:08,503 --> 00:02:09,843
On the 20th of March,

18
00:02:09,921 --> 00:02:14,471
I issued an order that
all military personnel in Aschaffenburg

19
00:02:14,551 --> 00:02:19,181
must report to reserve units
within 24 hours for defense of the city.

20
00:02:20,473 --> 00:02:23,273
Lt. Heymann
is in violation of those orders.

21
00:02:23,351 --> 00:02:26,151
-Major, I am recovering from wounds--
-Your wounds are not my concern.

22
00:02:26,938 --> 00:02:31,398
Your actions indicate that you are
a coward and a traitor to the Reich,

23
00:02:31,484 --> 00:02:34,454
and, as such, constitute a threat
not only to this city,

24
00:02:34,529 --> 00:02:35,699
but to our country.

25
00:02:36,281 --> 00:02:37,201
What are you doing?

26
00:02:37,282 --> 00:02:38,452
Your husband is a traitor.

27
00:02:38,533 --> 00:02:39,373
No.

28
00:02:40,034 --> 00:02:44,834
He is hereby found guilty of desertion
and sentenced to death.

29
00:02:46,332 --> 00:02:49,632
[woman] He isn't a traitor.
He is a war hero.

30
00:02:50,587 --> 00:02:54,417
Here. His orders, from the doctor!

31
00:02:56,843 --> 00:02:58,393
-[sobbing]
-[Heymann shouts]

32
00:02:58,469 --> 00:03:00,679
No! No!

33
00:03:02,056 --> 00:03:02,886
[muffled shouts]

34
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,270
[woman] Please, let him go!

35
00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:10,573
My orders are to be obeyed by everyone!

36
00:03:10,648 --> 00:03:12,108
Please, let him go!

37
00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:13,782
There will be no exceptions.

38
00:03:18,489 --> 00:03:20,529
[woman] Let him go! Please!

39
00:03:21,284 --> 00:03:24,874
No! No!

40
00:03:27,665 --> 00:03:32,125
Removal of this traitor's body
is prohibited.

41
00:03:32,837 --> 00:03:35,837
Anyone violating that order
will be executed.

42
00:03:42,513 --> 00:03:44,933
[sobbing]

43
00:03:52,649 --> 00:03:54,649
[sobbing continues]

44
00:04:04,786 --> 00:04:06,576
[man in English] It looks quiet enough.

45
00:04:07,121 --> 00:04:08,001
Too quiet.

46
00:04:10,124 --> 00:04:13,844
-You said Patton's 3rd cleared the city?
-Yeah, that's what we were told.

47
00:04:16,714 --> 00:04:18,094
Then they must be hiding.

48
00:04:20,802 --> 00:04:21,682
Okay, Lieutenant.

49
00:04:22,887 --> 00:04:24,807
-Let's go find 'em.
-Yes, sir.

50
00:04:30,478 --> 00:04:31,728
-[grunts]
-Uh, sir,

51
00:04:31,813 --> 00:04:34,153
this is Corporal Mann,
your new interpreter.

52
00:04:35,191 --> 00:04:37,571
-Colonel.
-You seen any combat, Corporal?

53
00:04:37,652 --> 00:04:40,662
Uh, not yet, but I'm hoping to see a lot.

54
00:04:45,535 --> 00:04:47,785
-Did I say something wrong?
-No.

55
00:04:47,870 --> 00:04:50,960
Just be careful what you wish for
with the colonel. You'll probably get it.

56
00:04:56,045 --> 00:04:59,295
Lieutenant. This is Sergeant Nick Walsh.

57
00:04:59,382 --> 00:05:01,842
-He's replacing Xander with I Company.
-Sir.

58
00:05:01,926 --> 00:05:04,346
Glad to have you. Been over here long?

59
00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:06,761
-Long enough.
-Good.

60
00:05:07,682 --> 00:05:10,562
We cross this here bridge.
Our objective is this tower.

61
00:05:11,811 --> 00:05:15,821
Gomez, you'll take E.
You'll take I up the Schubert Strasse.

62
00:05:16,691 --> 00:05:17,531
Got it.

63
00:05:22,405 --> 00:05:23,235
Questions?

64
00:05:24,782 --> 00:05:26,282
Been a lieutenant long, sir?

65
00:05:28,453 --> 00:05:29,373
Long enough.

66
00:05:32,373 --> 00:05:33,423
[match strikes]

67
00:05:33,499 --> 00:05:34,329
Hey, Hobson.

68
00:05:35,585 --> 00:05:36,535
-How about one?
-Huh?

69
00:05:40,923 --> 00:05:41,923
Hey, what's your problem?

70
00:05:43,468 --> 00:05:44,798
Haven't you heard, Millsy?

71
00:05:45,470 --> 00:05:48,310
Old Hobson was at a German spa,
waiting for the war to end.

72
00:05:48,806 --> 00:05:50,016
Then it got liberated.

73
00:05:50,975 --> 00:05:52,635
It was a POW camp, asshole.

74
00:05:53,853 --> 00:05:54,983
I oughta be home right now,

75
00:05:55,063 --> 00:05:57,273
-instead of here with you fuckwads.
-[Michigan] Yeah?

76
00:05:58,232 --> 00:05:59,192
So why aren't you?

77
00:06:00,902 --> 00:06:03,572
'Cause they ain't sending anyone back
till it's all over.

78
00:06:04,322 --> 00:06:06,782
Well, it better not end
until I kill some krauts.

79
00:06:06,866 --> 00:06:08,986
-[gun clicks]
-I tell you what, Curtain.

80
00:06:09,535 --> 00:06:11,365
How about you kill
my share of Nazis today?

81
00:06:11,454 --> 00:06:13,294
Go ahead, knock yourself out.

82
00:06:18,961 --> 00:06:19,881
Is Junior okay?

83
00:06:22,423 --> 00:06:23,263
Yeah.

84
00:06:46,447 --> 00:06:48,827
[bell tolling]

85
00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:27,276
[dog barks]

86
00:07:29,991 --> 00:07:31,701
Die, you Nazi dogs.

87
00:07:34,203 --> 00:07:35,043
Oh, Jesus.

88
00:07:36,205 --> 00:07:37,245
[Gomez] Sniper!

89
00:07:38,583 --> 00:07:40,593
[breathing heavily]

90
00:07:46,549 --> 00:07:47,929
[gunfire]

91
00:08:08,779 --> 00:08:09,659
Stay back here.

92
00:08:12,533 --> 00:08:13,413
[bullet ricochets]

93
00:08:14,035 --> 00:08:15,575
[gunfire continues]

94
00:08:26,964 --> 00:08:28,384
What's the holdup?

95
00:08:29,592 --> 00:08:31,392
Machine gun in the tower,
pinning us down.

96
00:08:32,678 --> 00:08:34,428
-[gunfire]
-[bullets ricocheting]

97
00:08:37,433 --> 00:08:39,563
Every street in this sector
feeds past that tower.

98
00:08:39,644 --> 00:08:41,064
Get a tank up here.

99
00:08:41,145 --> 00:08:42,475
Take out that gun.

100
00:08:44,148 --> 00:08:47,238
Sir, I think it's probably a good idea
for you to fall back

101
00:08:47,318 --> 00:08:49,398
till we clear the snipers
out of this area.

102
00:08:49,487 --> 00:08:52,447
I remember when you guys used to like it
when I was up here with ya.

103
00:08:53,866 --> 00:08:55,406
That's when you were
a no-account captain

104
00:08:55,493 --> 00:08:57,083
and snipers didn't give a shit about you,

105
00:08:57,161 --> 00:08:59,251
but now you got that leaf,
you're like prime sirloin.

106
00:08:59,997 --> 00:09:02,667
I think you're just worried
he's gonna miss me and hit one of you.

107
00:09:07,547 --> 00:09:12,967
Okay, E Company, it's time to clear
these houses and find that fucking sniper!

108
00:09:13,886 --> 00:09:15,886
[soldier] Relax, kid.
We're way out of range.

109
00:09:17,348 --> 00:09:20,138
-Except for the snipers, of course.
-Snipers?

110
00:09:20,726 --> 00:09:23,476
Don't bother looking for 'em.
You'll never see 'em.

111
00:09:24,063 --> 00:09:25,443
We're probably out of range anyway.

112
00:09:25,523 --> 00:09:27,943
Isn't that what we told
the last interpreter?

113
00:09:28,025 --> 00:09:28,985
Oh, yeah.

114
00:09:30,695 --> 00:09:32,315
Get 45th HQ.

115
00:09:32,405 --> 00:09:34,735
Yes, sir. I've got the 45th, sir.

116
00:09:38,744 --> 00:09:40,164
[Mann panting]

117
00:09:40,246 --> 00:09:43,746
This is Sparks.
We're moving to Sectors 3, 4 and 5.

118
00:09:44,542 --> 00:09:45,382
All right.

119
00:09:57,179 --> 00:09:58,179
Check upstairs.

120
00:09:58,973 --> 00:10:00,143
Watch for traps.

121
00:10:23,122 --> 00:10:24,422
[gunfire in distance]

122
00:10:33,257 --> 00:10:34,587
What are you doing?

123
00:10:37,970 --> 00:10:39,310
Stop it! Stop it!

124
00:11:08,125 --> 00:11:08,955
Hey!

125
00:11:11,087 --> 00:11:12,207
Is anyone up there?

126
00:11:14,131 --> 00:11:15,511
Told you it wasn't this one.

127
00:11:16,008 --> 00:11:16,878
[Vaccaro] Oh, yeah.

128
00:11:17,385 --> 00:11:19,175
Like the sniper's gonna answer you.

129
00:11:47,456 --> 00:11:48,616
-[shouts]
-[all screaming]

130
00:11:48,708 --> 00:11:49,958
Jesus Christ!

131
00:11:51,085 --> 00:11:52,875
-You okay?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

132
00:11:52,962 --> 00:11:54,632
It's a mother and her kids!

133
00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:58,304
Shh, it's okay. It's okay, it's okay.
Don't worry, it's okay.

134
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:00,394
-[in German] Watch out!
-[in English] Chief! Stop!

135
00:12:00,469 --> 00:12:01,799
There's someone in the other room!

136
00:12:01,887 --> 00:12:04,427
-[in German] No! Please, no!
-Get out of the way!

137
00:12:04,515 --> 00:12:05,765
[woman in German] No! No! No!

138
00:12:05,850 --> 00:12:08,770
[Vaccaro] Get out of the way!
Get out of the way!

139
00:12:08,853 --> 00:12:11,313
Let me through! Let me through!

140
00:12:12,481 --> 00:12:14,071
-No!
-[panting]

141
00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:15,400
Jesus, it's a kid.

142
00:12:17,695 --> 00:12:18,775
[in German] Butchers!

143
00:12:19,739 --> 00:12:21,279
Pigs!

144
00:12:21,365 --> 00:12:22,315
[in English] Oh, my God.

145
00:12:23,325 --> 00:12:26,745
Shut up. Shut the fuck up.
Is this your son?

146
00:12:26,829 --> 00:12:28,249
-Ja.
-Do you love him?

147
00:12:28,330 --> 00:12:29,250
-Ja.
-Yeah.

148
00:12:29,331 --> 00:12:32,171
Then get him out of this uniform
before he gets killed.

149
00:12:34,879 --> 00:12:36,879
[sobbing]

150
00:12:38,841 --> 00:12:41,261
What do you mean
we're fighting more than four divisions?

151
00:12:41,343 --> 00:12:44,433
Von Lamberth has forced civilians
to participate in the city's defense.

152
00:12:44,513 --> 00:12:46,813
Men, women, sometimes children.

153
00:12:47,391 --> 00:12:49,271
Those who aren't actively fighting…

154
00:12:49,810 --> 00:12:52,810
are being made to occupy buildings
to keep us from destroying them.

155
00:12:54,774 --> 00:12:56,324
Well, why not bypass it?

156
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,360
Aschaffenburg's of no military importance.

157
00:12:58,444 --> 00:13:01,204
We could leave a nominal holding force
behind and move on.

158
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,030
With all due respect, Colonel…

159
00:13:03,991 --> 00:13:06,701
we bail out on this now,
Von Lamberth will call this a victory.

160
00:13:07,495 --> 00:13:10,035
And every other city in Germany
will follow suit.

161
00:13:11,540 --> 00:13:13,210
Well, what option does that leave us?

162
00:13:13,959 --> 00:13:15,919
What he doesn't think we're capable of.

163
00:13:19,089 --> 00:13:19,969
Razing it.

164
00:13:22,718 --> 00:13:23,798

-[shells whistling]
-You ready?

167
00:13:31,185 --> 00:13:34,145
As soon as the artillery finishes,
Walsh'll bring up I Company.

168
00:13:34,230 --> 00:13:35,400
[bullets ricochet]

169
00:13:36,649 --> 00:13:38,529
I thought you cleared out all these homes.

170
00:13:38,609 --> 00:13:42,109
We did. He just keeps finding a way
to double back on us.

171
00:13:42,196 --> 00:13:43,736
[artillery exploding]

172
00:13:46,033 --> 00:13:48,793
As soon as that shelling stops,
be ready to move.

173
00:13:50,329 --> 00:13:51,209
It's about time.

174
00:13:52,414 --> 00:13:53,924
Hope they flatten that church.

175
00:13:55,251 --> 00:13:57,801
-Hope they flatten the whole damn town.
-Hey, boy.

176
00:13:58,295 --> 00:14:00,045
What in the hell is wrong with you?

177
00:14:00,631 --> 00:14:02,341
There are innocent people up there.

178
00:14:03,092 --> 00:14:04,802
You want me to feel sorry for 'em?

179
00:14:05,845 --> 00:14:06,675
I don't.

180
00:14:07,972 --> 00:14:11,102
They should taste what they've been doing
to everybody else this whole damn war.

181
00:14:13,143 --> 00:14:14,903
[shells whistling]

182
00:14:23,946 --> 00:14:25,026
Okay, let's move.

183
00:15:07,531 --> 00:15:08,491
Hold your fire.

184
00:15:14,538 --> 00:15:15,538
[in German] Please.

185
00:15:16,582 --> 00:15:17,752
[Junior in English] Jesus.

186
00:15:24,924 --> 00:15:25,844
Medic!

187
00:15:33,349 --> 00:15:34,349
Don't you die.

188
00:15:35,893 --> 00:15:36,733
Don't you die.

189
00:15:41,231 --> 00:15:42,441
[grunts]

190
00:15:43,192 --> 00:15:44,152
Medic!

191
00:15:45,903 --> 00:15:49,323
Okay. She's injured! Help her. Come on!

192
00:15:51,492 --> 00:15:55,002
Okay. Hey, hey, look at me.
You're gonna be okay, you understand?

193
00:15:55,955 --> 00:15:59,245
Understand me? They're gonna take
good care of you, okay? Hey, look at me.

194
00:15:59,333 --> 00:16:02,753
Okay. You're gonna be okay. These guys
are gonna look after you. Understand?

195
00:16:03,337 --> 00:16:04,797
[medic] Okay, let's move her.

196
00:16:20,729 --> 00:16:22,479
[engine starts]

197
00:16:26,402 --> 00:16:27,862
[gunshot]

198
00:16:27,945 --> 00:16:28,775
I see him!

199
00:16:55,264 --> 00:16:56,104
Clear.

200
00:16:58,017 --> 00:16:58,847
Empty.

201
00:17:00,102 --> 00:17:01,562
Sarge, you sure he was here?

202
00:17:01,645 --> 00:17:02,725
Hell, yeah, I'm sure.

203
00:17:03,397 --> 00:17:04,477
[Coldfoot] Let's move.

204
00:17:45,814 --> 00:17:46,654
[floorboard creaks]

205
00:18:24,353 --> 00:18:25,563
[groans]

206
00:18:28,857 --> 00:18:29,687
Where's Gomez?

207
00:18:30,609 --> 00:18:32,689
He's just checking out
the last apartment, sir.

208
00:18:36,907 --> 00:18:37,777
[in Spanish] Come on.

209
00:18:37,866 --> 00:18:39,866
[breathing heavily]

210
00:18:42,329 --> 00:18:43,959
[chuckling]

211
00:18:44,832 --> 00:18:45,712
Asshole.

212
00:18:46,917 --> 00:18:47,877
[laughs]

213
00:18:49,878 --> 00:18:50,708
[groans]

214
00:18:52,256 --> 00:18:53,086
Shit.

215
00:18:58,303 --> 00:18:59,143
Gomez!

216
00:19:03,934 --> 00:19:05,144
[Vaccaro in English] Sarge?

217
00:19:05,644 --> 00:19:06,524
[weakly] Hey.

218
00:19:07,271 --> 00:19:09,021
[groaning]

219
00:19:11,900 --> 00:19:12,730
[softly] Hey.

220
00:19:13,861 --> 00:19:15,821
[panting]

221
00:19:17,614 --> 00:19:18,454
[grunts]

222
00:19:21,577 --> 00:19:23,867
Okay. Get back to the others.

223
00:19:33,046 --> 00:19:34,206
[winces]

224
00:19:37,885 --> 00:19:38,715
So…

225
00:19:40,596 --> 00:19:41,756
[in Spanish] Idiot…

226
00:19:43,265 --> 00:19:44,515
[in English] Look around.

227
00:19:48,353 --> 00:19:50,153
This is your fucking grave.

228
00:19:51,064 --> 00:19:52,404
[whimpering]

229
00:19:54,193 --> 00:19:56,653
[panting]

230
00:20:06,997 --> 00:20:08,077
[footsteps approaching]

231
00:20:09,625 --> 00:20:11,125
[Coldfoot] Gomez! Gomez!

232
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:12,250
Hey, hey, hey, hey!

233
00:20:13,462 --> 00:20:14,462
Come on, buddy. Let's go.

234
00:20:17,758 --> 00:20:20,298
Medic! Get the medic in here now!

235
00:20:24,181 --> 00:20:25,771
I got the son of a bitch, sir.

236
00:20:26,308 --> 00:20:27,478
I knew you would.

237
00:20:29,144 --> 00:20:31,614
We almost made it, didn't we?

238
00:20:32,522 --> 00:20:33,732
Shut the fuck up.

239
00:20:33,815 --> 00:20:34,895
You're gonna be fine.

240
00:20:34,983 --> 00:20:38,863
Right. You and me are gonna make general.

241
00:20:43,867 --> 00:20:44,787
[Coldfoot grunts]

242
00:20:46,495 --> 00:20:50,325
[in Spanish] These are good men.

243
00:20:53,001 --> 00:20:54,041
Your men.

244
00:21:00,509 --> 00:21:01,969
[shudders]

245
00:21:04,388 --> 00:21:05,598
[exhales softly]

246
00:21:19,778 --> 00:21:22,908
[in English] All right.
E Company! Let's go!

247
00:21:30,497 --> 00:21:31,577
[Sparks] Dear Mary…

248
00:21:32,582 --> 00:21:35,422
I'm told it took a thousand years
to build Aschaffenburg.

249
00:21:35,919 --> 00:21:38,839
It took us and the Nazis
less than a week to destroy it.

250
00:21:40,716 --> 00:21:43,086
Today, I am ordered to accept

251
00:21:43,176 --> 00:21:45,676
the surrender of the city
from its commandant.

252
00:21:46,346 --> 00:21:48,216
It's a fancy ceremony
with speeches and protocol.

253
00:21:49,850 --> 00:21:50,850
If you ask me,

254
00:21:51,393 --> 00:21:54,653
neither side should be making a spectacle
after what happened here.

255
00:21:55,814 --> 00:21:59,824
[clears throat] At 11:00,
we meet Von Lamberth's staff at City Hall.

256
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:01,819
You'll then be escorted to the ballroom

257
00:22:01,903 --> 00:22:04,613
where the major will deliver
a surrender speech over the radio

258
00:22:05,115 --> 00:22:06,695
and then offer you his sidearm.

259
00:22:12,039 --> 00:22:13,249
What's that sign say?

260
00:22:13,332 --> 00:22:16,502
-[Mann] "This is the reward for cowards."
-Stop the Jeep.

261
00:22:20,088 --> 00:22:23,718
[in German]  Please.
Please help my husband.

262
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:26,013
[speaking German]

263
00:22:30,265 --> 00:22:32,635
[in English] She says he's not
a traitor or a coward.

264
00:22:32,726 --> 00:22:35,936
She says that they dragged him
out of his bed and hung him.

265
00:22:36,021 --> 00:22:37,271
[speaking German]

266
00:22:37,939 --> 00:22:40,729
These are… his orders.

267
00:22:40,817 --> 00:22:44,857
He was a lieutenant sent home
to recover from wounds.

268
00:22:47,407 --> 00:22:50,327
Ask her... ask her who did this.

269
00:22:50,410 --> 00:22:51,540
Who did this?

270
00:22:51,620 --> 00:22:52,790
[speaking German]

271
00:22:55,957 --> 00:22:57,827
[in English] She says
Maj. Von Lamberth, sir.

272
00:22:57,918 --> 00:22:59,498
[woman in German] He threatened everyone.

273
00:23:00,545 --> 00:23:02,875
Walsh, cut this soldier down.

274
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,300
Right. Tell her something from me.

275
00:23:05,384 --> 00:23:06,594
-[Mann] Okay.
-Tell her…

276
00:23:08,553 --> 00:23:10,143
her husband will be taken care of.

277
00:23:10,222 --> 00:23:13,852
He will receive
a proper military burial with honors.

278
00:23:13,934 --> 00:23:15,314
[Mann translating into German]

279
00:23:15,394 --> 00:23:17,154
Tell her everything will be okay.

280
00:23:18,188 --> 00:23:19,148
She has my word.

281
00:23:19,648 --> 00:23:22,398
Sir. I'm not sure this is a good idea
with the surrender and everything.

282
00:23:22,484 --> 00:23:23,364
Do it.

283
00:23:25,445 --> 00:23:28,025
Should I tell them all it's okay, sir?

284
00:23:30,409 --> 00:23:31,239
No.

285
00:23:32,702 --> 00:23:34,702
It's not you they need to hear it from.

286
00:23:34,788 --> 00:23:36,788
[vehicle approaching]

287
00:23:43,713 --> 00:23:46,223
Good morning, Colonel.
Maj. Von Lamberth is waiting for you.

288
00:23:46,299 --> 00:23:47,969
Tell the him there's been
a change of plan.

289
00:23:48,051 --> 00:23:49,141
We're going for a ride.

290
00:23:49,761 --> 00:23:52,181
But, Colonel,
Gen. Frederick assured the major that--

291
00:23:52,264 --> 00:23:54,314
I don't give a fuck
what Gen. Frederick promised.

292
00:23:54,808 --> 00:23:58,348
You tell your major to get his regal ass
down these stairs right now

293
00:23:58,437 --> 00:24:00,017
or my men will do it for him.

294
00:24:00,689 --> 00:24:01,769
Do you understand?

295
00:24:01,857 --> 00:24:03,857
[Von Lamberth in German]
Citizens of Aschaffenburg…

296
00:24:05,193 --> 00:24:06,573
put down your weapons.

297
00:24:08,071 --> 00:24:09,411
The fighting is over.

298
00:24:10,866 --> 00:24:12,526
As of 09:00 hours this morning…

299
00:24:13,410 --> 00:24:16,660
we have ended all hostilities
with the Allied forces.

300
00:24:17,622 --> 00:24:19,622
Citizens of Aschaffenburg…

301
00:24:20,959 --> 00:24:22,209
put down your weapons.

302
00:24:22,752 --> 00:24:23,882
The fighting is over.

303
00:24:25,464 --> 00:24:27,094
As of 09:00 hours this morning…

304
00:24:27,674 --> 00:24:29,264
we have ended all hostilities--

305
00:24:39,603 --> 00:24:41,983
He was a hero! You are a coward!

306
00:24:48,987 --> 00:24:49,817
[spits]

307
00:24:52,699 --> 00:24:54,579
-[in English] He said--
-I know what he said.

308
00:24:55,619 --> 00:25:00,209
[Sparks] My mother used to say only fools
empty ashtrays when the house is on fire.

309
00:25:01,666 --> 00:25:03,536
And I realize that's been my problem.

310
00:25:05,462 --> 00:25:06,672
I've been trying so hard

311
00:25:06,755 --> 00:25:08,965
to hold onto the person I was
before the war.

312
00:25:09,758 --> 00:25:10,838
And the truth is…

313
00:25:12,135 --> 00:25:14,675
that person has been gone for a long time.

314
00:25:15,555 --> 00:25:16,925
Probably is gone forever.

315
00:25:19,893 --> 00:25:21,653
This war has changed us all.

316
00:25:23,897 --> 00:25:25,647
None of us will ever be the same.

317
00:25:28,235 --> 00:25:29,735
I hope we've seen it all.

318
00:26:39,055 --> 00:26:40,765
Man, it doesn't feel like spring.

319
00:26:41,516 --> 00:26:43,806
My hands are frozen.
I can't feel my fingers.

320
00:26:44,311 --> 00:26:45,441
Yeah, it does.

321
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,360
It feels like a Chicago spring.

322
00:26:47,439 --> 00:26:50,529
Like opening day at Wrigley Field
where you freeze your ass off.

323
00:26:51,026 --> 00:26:51,856
[exhales]

324
00:27:27,604 --> 00:27:31,194
Looks like a POW camp, Colonel,
but ain't nobody in the towers.

325
00:27:31,274 --> 00:27:32,864
-Ugh.
-What's that smell?

326
00:27:43,745 --> 00:27:44,655
Oh, my God!

327
00:27:44,746 --> 00:27:46,406
-[coughs]
-[groaning]

328
00:27:47,248 --> 00:27:48,378
[retches]

329
00:27:57,592 --> 00:27:59,392
Open them. Open them all!

330
00:28:01,596 --> 00:28:03,006
Let's go! Let's go!

331
00:28:09,354 --> 00:28:10,364
[doors open]

332
00:28:18,279 --> 00:28:19,109
[grunts]

333
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,199
Who would do this?

334
00:28:27,247 --> 00:28:28,457
Where have you been?

335
00:28:29,499 --> 00:28:30,919
We know who did this.

336
00:28:43,763 --> 00:28:44,603
Hey!

337
00:28:45,098 --> 00:28:46,978
We know they're still in there.

338
00:28:47,058 --> 00:28:49,478
-I say we get 'em!
-Yeah! Yeah!

339
00:28:49,561 --> 00:28:51,311
-Get 'em!
-Come on, guys!

340
00:28:51,396 --> 00:28:52,726
[gunshot]

341
00:28:54,441 --> 00:28:58,651
Our orders are to secure this camp
and that's what we're gonna do.

342
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,320
Nothing more.

343
00:29:02,449 --> 00:29:03,279
[sighs]

344
00:29:04,159 --> 00:29:05,329
Secure the front entrance.

345
00:29:05,410 --> 00:29:08,290
Make sure no one gets in or out
before we figure out what this place is.

346
00:29:09,497 --> 00:29:12,077
Walsh, secure the rear gate.

347
00:29:13,793 --> 00:29:14,633
Walsh!

348
00:29:16,421 --> 00:29:17,261
You hear me?

349
00:29:18,506 --> 00:29:20,256
Yes, sir. Let's go.

350
00:29:25,764 --> 00:29:27,354
How are you boys at climbing walls?

351
00:30:02,675 --> 00:30:04,295
It's an officer's quarters.

352
00:30:05,303 --> 00:30:07,643
[clock ticking]

353
00:30:43,675 --> 00:30:44,505
Spread out.

354
00:30:54,352 --> 00:30:55,902
Don't shoot. We surrender.

355
00:31:26,426 --> 00:31:28,296
What kind of operating room is this?

356
00:31:28,386 --> 00:31:29,216
God.

357
00:31:31,014 --> 00:31:32,274
It's an autopsy room.

358
00:31:33,141 --> 00:31:34,431
I've seen one back home.

359
00:31:35,685 --> 00:31:36,515
Really?

360
00:31:37,353 --> 00:31:39,523
Since when
do you need to tie down a corpse?

361
00:31:51,534 --> 00:31:52,834
Mann, what does this say?

362
00:31:55,830 --> 00:31:57,750
[Mann] "There is a path to freedom.

363
00:31:59,417 --> 00:32:01,667
Its milestones are…

364
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:07,719
honesty, cleanliness,
sobriety, hard work…

365
00:32:08,384 --> 00:32:10,434
and love of the Fatherland."

366
00:32:11,346 --> 00:32:12,926
[Sparks] Who's that meant for?

367
00:32:13,973 --> 00:32:14,853
Them, sir.

368
00:32:18,603 --> 00:32:19,903
Holy Christ.

369
00:32:23,650 --> 00:32:24,940
[coughing]

370
00:32:29,989 --> 00:32:31,619
They're just stick figures.

371
00:32:44,087 --> 00:32:45,127
[speaking German]

372
00:32:47,215 --> 00:32:48,215
What's he saying?

373
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,260
He wants to know if you are a dream, sir.

374
00:32:55,306 --> 00:32:56,516
Get back in touch with Command.

375
00:32:56,599 --> 00:33:00,189
Tell them we need food, doctors,
clothing, medicine immediately.

376
00:33:10,446 --> 00:33:13,316
There are no hostiles here.
We are wounded soldiers.

377
00:33:13,408 --> 00:33:15,158
Get 'em out. Everybody out.

378
00:33:15,243 --> 00:33:18,123
-But they are all injured.
-I don't give a damn. Now!

379
00:33:22,667 --> 00:33:23,537
Get 'em out.

380
00:33:24,836 --> 00:33:25,666
Move!

381
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:29,670
Line 'em up.

382
00:33:35,054 --> 00:33:38,104
-Get a machine gun in here.
-[Hobson] The hell are you looking at?

383
00:33:39,392 --> 00:33:40,602
Get moving!

384
00:33:41,477 --> 00:33:42,897
-Get the hell up!
-Sergeant…

385
00:33:43,896 --> 00:33:46,016
most of these men are wounded.
They cannot stand.

386
00:33:46,107 --> 00:33:49,897
Oh yeah? And did you think about that
when you were guarding your prisoners?

387
00:33:50,737 --> 00:33:52,907
We are not the prison guards.
They are gone.

388
00:33:53,656 --> 00:33:55,696
We are soldiers just like you.

389
00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:01,000
No. You're not just like us.
You're nothing like us!

390
00:34:08,379 --> 00:34:09,669
Colonel! Come quick!

391
00:34:14,343 --> 00:34:16,933
Private Curtain, man the gun.

392
00:34:21,392 --> 00:34:23,602
Keep your fucking hands up.

393
00:34:26,522 --> 00:34:28,272
But they are wounded. They can't do it.

394
00:34:28,775 --> 00:34:33,605
Curtain, if any of these bastards
so much as move, let 'em have it.

395
00:34:37,158 --> 00:34:39,618
-Sarge? They're moving.
-Keep it on them.

396
00:34:40,203 --> 00:34:41,703
-Sarge!
-Don't let them get away.

397
00:34:44,165 --> 00:34:45,365
[in German] Get on the ground!

398
00:34:54,550 --> 00:34:55,840
What the hell are you doing?

399
00:34:55,927 --> 00:34:58,427
-Colonel, they were trying to get away.
-They're unarmed!

400
00:34:58,513 --> 00:35:00,263
They're animals. They deserve to die.

401
00:35:00,348 --> 00:35:02,058
That is not your decision to make!

402
00:35:02,558 --> 00:35:03,428
Listen to me!

403
00:35:05,019 --> 00:35:09,569
I am as sickened by this place as you are,
but this is not what we came here to do!

404
00:35:11,901 --> 00:35:13,531
This is what we came here to stop.

405
00:35:14,028 --> 00:35:16,028
[panting]

406
00:35:17,824 --> 00:35:18,834
Arrest these men.

407
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,040
Medics!

408
00:35:23,663 --> 00:35:24,963
Give these men some help.

409
00:35:44,016 --> 00:35:45,976
[coughing]

410
00:35:49,063 --> 00:35:51,073
[breathing slowly]

411
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,670
I wish I could tell you
this was an isolated incident.

412
00:36:17,550 --> 00:36:19,260
We're finding these camps everywhere.

413
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,260
In Poland, they're double,
triple this size.

414
00:36:23,347 --> 00:36:24,637
Filled with men, women…

415
00:36:26,309 --> 00:36:27,189
and children.

416
00:36:33,191 --> 00:36:35,861
I heard about the coal yard incident,
Felix.

417
00:36:35,943 --> 00:36:37,153
What were the casualties?

418
00:36:38,029 --> 00:36:39,779
Seventeen dead, 12 wounded.

419
00:36:40,281 --> 00:36:41,621
The men just snapped, sir.

420
00:36:42,283 --> 00:36:43,283
First the train…

421
00:36:44,452 --> 00:36:45,292
then this.

422
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:46,950
Who wouldn't?

423
00:36:47,747 --> 00:36:49,707
I'll make sure to mention it in my report.

424
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:54,128
The good news is, now that he's dead,
we're moving your men outta here…

425
00:36:55,129 --> 00:36:56,009
and into Munich.

426
00:36:57,632 --> 00:36:59,052
-Who's dead, sir?
-Hitler.

427
00:36:59,634 --> 00:37:01,224
Word came this morning from Berlin.

428
00:37:01,302 --> 00:37:02,762
The Germans have surrendered.

429
00:37:14,023 --> 00:37:15,073
[Sparks] Dear Mary…

430
00:37:16,484 --> 00:37:19,284
And just like that, the war ended.

431
00:37:21,072 --> 00:37:22,742
Unfortunately, not for me.

432
00:37:34,835 --> 00:37:36,835
Were you present
when this picture was taken?

433
00:37:36,921 --> 00:37:39,171
And if so, where was your position?

434
00:37:39,257 --> 00:37:40,417
[Curtain] I was there.

435
00:37:41,217 --> 00:37:42,387
Behind the machine gun?

436
00:37:43,928 --> 00:37:45,258
What were your orders, Private?

437
00:37:45,805 --> 00:37:47,055
To guard the prisoners.

438
00:37:48,099 --> 00:37:49,309
Not to let them escape.

439
00:37:50,142 --> 00:37:51,642
And when did you open fire?

440
00:37:53,229 --> 00:37:54,559
When they tried to get away.

441
00:37:59,652 --> 00:38:00,862
I swear, sir.

442
00:38:01,946 --> 00:38:03,406
I saw them moving.

443
00:38:04,532 --> 00:38:07,742
Did your experiences
in the German POW camp

444
00:38:07,827 --> 00:38:09,117
make you want to shoot these men?

445
00:38:09,203 --> 00:38:10,043
No.

446
00:38:10,579 --> 00:38:13,419
To get them back
for their treatment of you?

447
00:38:13,499 --> 00:38:17,549
I was following orders, sir.
We'd seen the Germans flee the compound.

448
00:38:17,628 --> 00:38:19,378
So when they began to move…

449
00:38:21,048 --> 00:38:21,878
we opened fire.

450
00:38:21,966 --> 00:38:23,716
And who ordered you to open fire?

451
00:38:27,179 --> 00:38:28,349
Sergeant Walsh.

452
00:38:28,431 --> 00:38:31,811
Did you intend to execute these men
when you lined them up against the wall?

453
00:38:32,977 --> 00:38:33,807
No, sir.

454
00:38:35,313 --> 00:38:37,863
The coal yard just happened to be
the best place to hold them.

455
00:38:37,940 --> 00:38:40,030
And were you aware
that many of these prisoners

456
00:38:40,109 --> 00:38:42,279
were brought from the camp infirmary
and were wounded?

457
00:38:42,361 --> 00:38:47,781
Sir, our orders were to round them all up
in the camp and keep them from escaping.

458
00:38:49,618 --> 00:38:51,158
And who gave you these orders?

459
00:38:53,664 --> 00:38:56,924
Was Col. Sparks present
at the time of the shooting?

460
00:39:00,004 --> 00:39:01,634
Tell me when you saw Col. Sparks.

461
00:39:14,101 --> 00:39:14,941
General.

462
00:39:15,853 --> 00:39:17,103
I wasn't expecting a visit.

463
00:39:17,188 --> 00:39:20,608
The 45th have been selected
to make the invasion of Japan, Felix.

464
00:39:20,691 --> 00:39:23,071
We're gonna re-equip and retrain
in the States.

465
00:39:23,152 --> 00:39:25,992
I think everybody knew we wouldn't be
going home till this was all over.

466
00:39:26,072 --> 00:39:28,072
Unfortunately,
you've been ordered to stay.

467
00:39:29,533 --> 00:39:30,373
Sir?

468
00:39:30,451 --> 00:39:33,001
The coal yard investigation
has become a big deal.

469
00:39:33,871 --> 00:39:37,331
Been taken over
by 7th Army Chief of Staff Gen. White.

470
00:39:39,293 --> 00:39:40,253
And the focus is on you.

471
00:39:42,213 --> 00:39:43,093
Me?

472
00:39:43,172 --> 00:39:46,132
We're in a politically sensitive moment,
Felix.

473
00:39:46,217 --> 00:39:49,137
Washington is concerned
with the way it looks to the world.

474
00:39:51,889 --> 00:39:55,729
You are ordered to report
to 7th Army Headquarters tomorrow at 09:00

475
00:39:55,810 --> 00:39:58,690
where the Army judge advocate will present
the charges filed against you.

476
00:40:03,692 --> 00:40:04,692
I'm sorry, Felix.

477
00:40:23,838 --> 00:40:24,758
Yeah.

478
00:40:27,216 --> 00:40:29,256
Sir, the troops are ready to move out.

479
00:40:30,177 --> 00:40:32,427
-If you'd like me to stay, I--
-No, no.

480
00:40:34,140 --> 00:40:35,770
Get going, Bruce. I'm okay.

481
00:40:37,184 --> 00:40:38,274
It was an honor, sir.

482
00:40:43,315 --> 00:40:44,145
Sir.

483
00:40:45,484 --> 00:40:47,994
If you ever need a driver back home,
I'm your man.

484
00:40:49,196 --> 00:40:50,736
Be an honor, Corporal Kanuna.

485
00:40:52,032 --> 00:40:53,332
-You got it.
-[chuckles]

486
00:41:14,889 --> 00:41:15,759
Okay!

487
00:41:16,557 --> 00:41:18,137
Let's get this show on the road.

488
00:41:23,689 --> 00:41:24,819
[Sparks] Dearest Mary…

489
00:41:26,066 --> 00:41:28,646
I never asked
to be a leader of three divisions.

490
00:41:29,737 --> 00:41:32,657
The only thing I ever asked for
was a rifle company in Oklahoma.

491
00:41:34,450 --> 00:41:36,080
But when you start down a path…

492
00:41:37,203 --> 00:41:38,913
you never know where it will lead.

493
00:41:43,209 --> 00:41:47,509
Excuse me.
I'm looking for Gen. Gainer's office, 43?

494
00:41:49,882 --> 00:41:50,762
Thank you.

495
00:42:08,776 --> 00:42:10,146
[phone ringing]

496
00:42:16,242 --> 00:42:17,242
Yes, sir.

497
00:42:18,244 --> 00:42:19,084
[sniffs]

498
00:42:27,586 --> 00:42:28,586
Col. Sparks.

499
00:42:29,338 --> 00:42:30,168
This way, sir.

500
00:42:30,756 --> 00:42:33,126
Colonel, you're formally charged
in dereliction of your duty

501
00:42:33,217 --> 00:42:34,927
as an officer in the United States Army,

502
00:42:35,010 --> 00:42:39,100
leading to the deaths
of 17 unarmed German prisoners of war.

503
00:42:40,099 --> 00:42:42,099
Details of your case
have been investigated

504
00:42:42,184 --> 00:42:44,604
and the findings have reached
the highest level of Army Command

505
00:42:44,687 --> 00:42:47,647
and, for that reason,
your case is going to be reviewed

506
00:42:47,731 --> 00:42:50,571
by the chief Army justice
at Military Command.

507
00:42:50,651 --> 00:42:53,611
Sir, this is the first time
I've been presented with these charges.

508
00:42:53,696 --> 00:42:54,606
If I may ex--

509
00:42:56,699 --> 00:42:58,699
You'll have an opportunity
to present your testimony

510
00:42:58,784 --> 00:43:00,084
tomorrow at the hearing, Colonel.

511
00:43:01,078 --> 00:43:06,078
Report to Occupation Command HQ at 09:00,
office 1644.

512
00:43:09,545 --> 00:43:10,495
Dismissed.

513
00:43:11,213 --> 00:43:12,133
Col. Sparks?

514
00:43:12,631 --> 00:43:13,471
Yes?

515
00:43:14,341 --> 00:43:15,471
Your driver's here, sir.

516
00:43:15,551 --> 00:43:17,471
-[car approaching]
-I don't have a driver.

517
00:43:19,930 --> 00:43:23,930
So, Gomez, after he brings you in,
he's yelling at the major,

518
00:43:24,018 --> 00:43:26,058
"Get him in the operating room right now.

519
00:43:26,145 --> 00:43:28,055
Otherwise,
I'm gonna tear this place down."

520
00:43:28,564 --> 00:43:30,864
-Yeah. Yeah, he would have too.
-Yeah.

521
00:43:36,322 --> 00:43:37,492
Ah, he should be here.

522
00:43:39,533 --> 00:43:40,413
They all should.

523
00:43:42,911 --> 00:43:43,751
Hallowell…

524
00:43:45,039 --> 00:43:48,169
Cruz, Cloudfeather, Garcia.

525
00:43:48,834 --> 00:43:49,714
Childers.

526
00:43:50,419 --> 00:43:51,879
You remembered their names.

527
00:43:53,881 --> 00:43:55,221
I wrote a lot of letters.

528
00:43:59,887 --> 00:44:02,217
Well, since they ain't here,
it's my job to say this.

529
00:44:04,141 --> 00:44:06,141
You were the best leader
we could have asked for.

530
00:44:07,311 --> 00:44:09,651
You came back to us
when you could've gone home.

531
00:44:10,439 --> 00:44:12,859
Hell, you made us feel like men
when others didn't.

532
00:44:16,445 --> 00:44:17,775
Hell, you gave us a chance.

533
00:44:19,823 --> 00:44:20,743
Especially me.

534
00:44:24,745 --> 00:44:26,365
I didn't give anybody anything.

535
00:44:28,290 --> 00:44:29,210
They earned it.

536
00:44:32,836 --> 00:44:33,956
Especially you.

537
00:44:53,399 --> 00:44:54,229
Sam…

538
00:44:56,276 --> 00:44:57,106
thanks.

539
00:44:58,404 --> 00:45:00,994
You ever get to Madison, Oklahoma,
I'm easy to find.

540
00:45:13,252 --> 00:45:14,342
Where were you going?

541
00:45:16,296 --> 00:45:18,626
That day I stopped you
outside Johnson's bar?

542
00:45:22,511 --> 00:45:23,681
I was going to see a…

543
00:45:24,722 --> 00:45:27,272
particular sergeant
who had made my life miserable.

544
00:45:31,145 --> 00:45:32,225
I was gonna kill him.

545
00:45:34,273 --> 00:45:36,153
They'd have sent you to Leavenworth.

546
00:45:37,776 --> 00:45:38,606
[chuckles]

547
00:45:39,445 --> 00:45:40,275
Yeah.

548
00:45:42,990 --> 00:45:45,080
Yeah, but I got made a sergeant instead.

549
00:46:00,674 --> 00:46:03,644
Please take a seat.
The general will be with you shortly.

550
00:46:10,517 --> 00:46:11,387
[door closes]

551
00:46:23,822 --> 00:46:24,872
[sighs]

552
00:46:32,247 --> 00:46:33,077
As you were.

553
00:46:37,544 --> 00:46:39,634
I'm sorry, sir. I was ordered to…

554
00:46:40,297 --> 00:46:42,547
uh, come and see the chief Army justice.

555
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:45,797
That would be me, Colonel. Sit.

556
00:46:50,933 --> 00:46:52,313
Some office, isn't it?

557
00:46:55,687 --> 00:46:58,607
Used to belong
to the publisher of Mein Kampf.

558
00:47:00,943 --> 00:47:02,783
Guess it pays to have a best seller.

559
00:47:09,618 --> 00:47:12,368
Col. Sparks, these are
some serious charges against you.

560
00:47:13,580 --> 00:47:15,370
If I may, sir, I've not had the--

561
00:47:15,457 --> 00:47:17,917
You were one of Charlie Ankcorn's boys
in Sicily.

562
00:47:18,418 --> 00:47:19,288
Yes, sir.

563
00:47:20,712 --> 00:47:21,552
[chuckles]

564
00:47:23,215 --> 00:47:25,715
And fought at Salerno with Middleton.

565
00:47:26,385 --> 00:47:27,215
Yes, sir.

566
00:47:28,512 --> 00:47:29,352
Wounded.

567
00:47:31,306 --> 00:47:34,016
Evacuated to Algiers for surgery.

568
00:47:34,810 --> 00:47:37,020
Reclassified unfit for active combat.

569
00:47:40,399 --> 00:47:43,279
Went AWOL and hijacked a B-17?

570
00:47:44,611 --> 00:47:45,901
I hitched a ride, sir.

571
00:47:46,405 --> 00:47:48,315
Went back to Italy to join your men.

572
00:47:53,370 --> 00:47:54,200
Hmm.

573
00:48:00,335 --> 00:48:01,245
Anzio.

574
00:48:04,965 --> 00:48:06,425
Via Anziate.

575
00:48:08,135 --> 00:48:11,465
Your unit stopped that brilliant bastard
Kesselring in his tracks.

576
00:48:12,931 --> 00:48:14,891
Got the Presidential Unit Citation.

577
00:48:16,310 --> 00:48:17,600
My company did, sir.

578
00:48:22,399 --> 00:48:23,779
Then Operation Dragoon.

579
00:48:24,776 --> 00:48:26,776
Up through France into the Vosges.

580
00:48:27,362 --> 00:48:28,862
[laughs]

581
00:48:28,989 --> 00:48:31,659
Spit in Bob Frederick's face, did you?

582
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:34,870
We had a disagreement, sir.

583
00:48:35,579 --> 00:48:37,369
Disagreement with superiors.

584
00:48:38,707 --> 00:48:40,537
I wouldn't know anything about that.

585
00:48:42,753 --> 00:48:45,553
Aschaffenburg. More bad business.

586
00:48:47,591 --> 00:48:48,471
And finally…

587
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:50,890
Dachau.

588
00:48:58,602 --> 00:48:59,652
[swallowing]

589
00:49:08,111 --> 00:49:11,781
"On April 29, 1945
at approximately 09:30 hours,

590
00:49:11,865 --> 00:49:14,405
men from Company I, 157th regiment…

591
00:49:15,243 --> 00:49:18,253
under the command
of Lt. Col. Felix Sparks…

592
00:49:19,122 --> 00:49:21,082
committed the premeditated murder…

593
00:49:22,334 --> 00:49:27,014
of 17 unarmed German soldiers
at Dachau concentration camp."

594
00:49:32,552 --> 00:49:34,432
Colonel, do you deny
this shooting took place?

595
00:49:34,513 --> 00:49:37,523
-No, sir. But my men were under extreme--
-It's not about your men, Colonel.

596
00:49:37,599 --> 00:49:39,429
Were you in the coal yard
during the shooting?

597
00:49:39,518 --> 00:49:41,728
No, sir, but I was responsible--

598
00:49:41,812 --> 00:49:46,362
Did you give the orders to your men
to open fire on those prisoners?

599
00:49:46,441 --> 00:49:47,691
No, sir, I did not.

600
00:49:48,276 --> 00:49:49,436
But they are still my men.

601
00:49:54,908 --> 00:49:58,578
Hmm. [sighs deeply]

602
00:49:58,662 --> 00:50:00,412
Colonel, would you call me a hero?

603
00:50:04,126 --> 00:50:06,626
Uh, of course, sir.

604
00:50:07,838 --> 00:50:11,048
I've been a professional soldier
nearly 37 years.

605
00:50:12,134 --> 00:50:13,144
Mexico…

606
00:50:13,885 --> 00:50:15,045
two world wars.

607
00:50:16,430 --> 00:50:18,680
During that time,
I've seen a great deal of combat

608
00:50:18,765 --> 00:50:21,595
and, like you,
I've been wounded in the line of duty.

609
00:50:21,685 --> 00:50:25,395
But if you added together all the time
I've spent within the sound of gunfire…

610
00:50:26,356 --> 00:50:29,776
it would come to maybe 50 weeks.

611
00:50:31,528 --> 00:50:33,068
350 days.

612
00:50:34,823 --> 00:50:36,873
You, on the other hand…

613
00:50:37,993 --> 00:50:39,583
have spent over 500.

614
00:50:41,788 --> 00:50:44,668
Five hundred days.

615
00:50:47,252 --> 00:50:48,172
So, tell me….

616
00:50:50,130 --> 00:50:51,130
who's the hero?

617
00:50:55,844 --> 00:50:57,054
[sighs]

618
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:02,770
Go home, Felix.

619
00:51:05,187 --> 00:51:06,017
Go home.

620
00:51:11,026 --> 00:51:13,276
And don't let the scars ruin you.

621
00:51:19,701 --> 00:51:20,541
Dismissed.

622
00:51:32,130 --> 00:51:33,130
[Sparks] Dear Mary…

623
00:51:34,925 --> 00:51:37,045
my life as a soldier is over.

624
00:51:49,856 --> 00:51:53,526
After leaving Germany, they put me
in charge of sending our troops home.

625
00:51:54,111 --> 00:51:56,951
I took the job literally
and put myself on a ship.

626
00:52:02,619 --> 00:52:05,039
When I get back,
they will discharge me from Fort Bliss,

627
00:52:05,122 --> 00:52:07,792
which is outside of El Paso,
much closer to you.

628
00:52:08,750 --> 00:52:09,580
Please meet me there.

629
00:52:09,668 --> 00:52:11,288
[train horn blares]

630
00:52:12,129 --> 00:52:14,009
I can't wait to see our new son.

631
00:52:15,715 --> 00:52:17,215
But I need to see you first.

632
00:52:19,511 --> 00:52:21,811
The war has changed me, Mary.

633
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,390
I have seen horrors
inflicted by one human to another

634
00:52:26,476 --> 00:52:28,936
that are beyond all reason or explanation.

635
00:52:30,689 --> 00:52:31,769
I have killed men.

636
00:52:33,191 --> 00:52:34,571
And seen men killed.

637
00:52:36,570 --> 00:52:40,160
And I have lived when others
more deserving of life have perished.

638
00:52:43,243 --> 00:52:46,753
These experiences have made me
a different man than the one you married.

639
00:52:46,830 --> 00:52:49,080
And perhaps one you'll no longer want.

640
00:52:51,501 --> 00:52:52,591
But I hope you will.

641
00:52:56,006 --> 00:52:57,086
I pray you will.

642
00:53:15,734 --> 00:53:17,744
[crying]
