1
00:00:50,446 --> 00:00:52,239
[in German] Mm. Where are you going?

2
00:00:52,323 --> 00:00:53,866
To make you breakfast.

3
00:00:53,949 --> 00:00:55,367
Mm. Stay here.

4
00:00:56,243 --> 00:00:57,203
[chuckles]

5
00:01:00,539 --> 00:01:01,916
I'll be right back.

6
00:01:13,719 --> 00:01:15,721
[car approaching]

7
00:01:31,070 --> 00:01:32,113
[man] Good day.

8
00:01:33,656 --> 00:01:34,990
Your husband, please?

9
00:01:35,074 --> 00:01:36,951
He is resting, Major.

10
00:01:42,748 --> 00:01:43,833
What are you doing?

11
00:01:45,334 --> 00:01:47,128
[Heymann] Who? Who are you?

12
00:01:49,630 --> 00:01:50,965
-[woman speaks German]
-[groans]

13
00:01:51,465 --> 00:01:53,843
What's going on here?

14
00:01:55,094 --> 00:01:55,928
[woman] Darling.

15
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:03,978
What is going on?

16
00:02:04,979 --> 00:02:06,564
[crowd murmuring]

17
00:02:08,524 --> 00:02:09,859
On the 20th of March,

18
00:02:09,942 --> 00:02:14,488
I issued an order that
all military personnel in Aschaffenburg

19
00:02:14,572 --> 00:02:19,201
must report to reserve units
within 24 hours for defense of the city.

20
00:02:20,494 --> 00:02:23,289
Lt. Heymann
is in violation of those orders.

21
00:02:23,372 --> 00:02:26,167
-Major, I am recovering from wounds--
-Your wounds are not my concern.

22
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:31,422
Your actions indicate that you are
a coward and a traitor to the Reich,

23
00:02:31,505 --> 00:02:34,466
and, as such, constitute a threat
not only to this city,

24
00:02:34,550 --> 00:02:35,718
but to our country.

25
00:02:36,302 --> 00:02:37,219
What are you doing?

26
00:02:37,303 --> 00:02:38,470
Your husband is a traitor.

27
00:02:38,554 --> 00:02:39,388
No.

28
00:02:40,055 --> 00:02:44,852
He is hereby found guilty of desertion
and sentenced to death.

29
00:02:46,353 --> 00:02:49,648
[woman] He isn't a traitor.
He is a war hero.

30
00:02:50,608 --> 00:02:54,445
Here. His orders, from the doctor!

31
00:02:56,864 --> 00:02:58,407
-[sobbing]
-[Heymann shouts]

32
00:02:58,490 --> 00:03:00,701
No! No!

33
00:03:02,077 --> 00:03:02,912
[muffled shouts]

34
00:03:03,621 --> 00:03:06,290
[woman] Please, let him go!

35
00:03:06,874 --> 00:03:10,586
My orders are to be obeyed by everyone!

36
00:03:10,669 --> 00:03:12,129
Please, let him go!

37
00:03:12,213 --> 00:03:13,797
There will be no exceptions.

38
00:03:18,510 --> 00:03:20,554
[woman] Let him go! Please!

39
00:03:21,305 --> 00:03:24,892
No! No!

40
00:03:27,686 --> 00:03:32,149
Removal of this traitor's body
is prohibited.

41
00:03:32,858 --> 00:03:35,861
Anyone violating that order
will be executed.

42
00:03:42,534 --> 00:03:44,954
[sobbing]

43
00:03:52,670 --> 00:03:54,672
[sobbing continues]

44
00:04:04,807 --> 00:04:06,600
[man in English] It looks quiet enough.

45
00:04:07,142 --> 00:04:08,018
Too quiet.

46
00:04:10,145 --> 00:04:13,857
-You said Patton's 3rd cleared the city?
-Yeah, that's what we were told.

47
00:04:16,735 --> 00:04:18,112
Then they must be hiding.

48
00:04:20,823 --> 00:04:21,699
Okay, Lieutenant.

49
00:04:22,908 --> 00:04:24,827
-Let's go find 'em.
-Yes, sir.

50
00:04:30,499 --> 00:04:31,750
-[grunts]
-Uh, sir,

51
00:04:31,834 --> 00:04:34,169
this is Corporal Mann,
your new interpreter.

52
00:04:35,212 --> 00:04:37,589
-Colonel.
-You seen any combat, Corporal?

53
00:04:37,673 --> 00:04:40,676
Uh, not yet, but I'm hoping to see a lot.

54
00:04:45,556 --> 00:04:47,808
-Did I say something wrong?
-No.

55
00:04:47,891 --> 00:04:50,978
Just be careful what you wish for
with the colonel. You'll probably get it.

56
00:04:56,066 --> 00:04:59,320
Lieutenant. This is Sergeant Nick Walsh.

57
00:04:59,403 --> 00:05:01,864
-He's replacing Xander with I Company.
-Sir.

58
00:05:01,947 --> 00:05:04,366
Glad to have you. Been over here long?

59
00:05:04,992 --> 00:05:06,785
-Long enough.
-Good.

60
00:05:07,703 --> 00:05:10,581
We cross this here bridge.
Our objective is this tower.

61
00:05:11,832 --> 00:05:15,836
Gomez, you'll take E.
You'll take I up the Schubert Strasse.

62
00:05:16,712 --> 00:05:17,546
Got it.

63
00:05:22,426 --> 00:05:23,260
Questions?

64
00:05:24,803 --> 00:05:26,305
Been a lieutenant long, sir?

65
00:05:28,474 --> 00:05:29,391
Long enough.

66
00:05:32,394 --> 00:05:33,437
[match strikes]

67
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,355
Hey, Hobson.

68
00:05:35,606 --> 00:05:36,565
-How about one?
-Huh?

69
00:05:40,944 --> 00:05:41,945
Hey, what's your problem?

70
00:05:43,489 --> 00:05:44,823
Haven't you heard, Millsy?

71
00:05:45,491 --> 00:05:48,327
Old Hobson was at a German spa,
waiting for the war to end.

72
00:05:48,827 --> 00:05:50,037
Then it got liberated.

73
00:05:50,996 --> 00:05:52,664
It was a POW camp, asshole.

74
00:05:53,874 --> 00:05:55,000
I oughta be home right now,

75
00:05:55,084 --> 00:05:57,294
-instead of here with you fuckwads.
-[Michigan] Yeah?

76
00:05:58,253 --> 00:05:59,213
So why aren't you?

77
00:06:00,923 --> 00:06:03,592
'Cause they ain't sending anyone back
till it's all over.

78
00:06:04,343 --> 00:06:06,804
Well, it better not end
until I kill some krauts.

79
00:06:06,887 --> 00:06:09,014
-[gun clicks]
-I tell you what, Curtain.

80
00:06:09,556 --> 00:06:11,392
How about you kill
my share of Nazis today?

81
00:06:11,475 --> 00:06:13,310
Go ahead, knock yourself out.

82
00:06:18,982 --> 00:06:19,900
Is Junior okay?

83
00:06:22,444 --> 00:06:23,278
Yeah.

84
00:06:46,468 --> 00:06:48,846
[bell tolling]

85
00:07:26,467 --> 00:07:27,301
[dog barks]

86
00:07:30,012 --> 00:07:31,722
Die, you Nazi dogs.

87
00:07:34,224 --> 00:07:35,058
Oh, Jesus.

88
00:07:36,226 --> 00:07:37,269
[Gomez] Sniper!

89
00:07:38,604 --> 00:07:40,606
[breathing heavily]

90
00:07:46,570 --> 00:07:47,946
[gunfire]

91
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:09,676
Stay back here.

92
00:08:12,554 --> 00:08:13,430
[bullet ricochets]

93
00:08:14,056 --> 00:08:15,599
[gunfire continues]

94
00:08:26,985 --> 00:08:28,403
What's the holdup?

95
00:08:29,613 --> 00:08:31,406
Machine gun in the tower,
pinning us down.

96
00:08:32,699 --> 00:08:34,451
-[gunfire]
-[bullets ricocheting]

97
00:08:37,454 --> 00:08:39,581
Every street in this sector
feeds past that tower.

98
00:08:39,665 --> 00:08:41,083
Get a tank up here.

99
00:08:41,166 --> 00:08:42,501
Take out that gun.

100
00:08:44,169 --> 00:08:47,256
Sir, I think it's probably a good idea
for you to fall back

101
00:08:47,339 --> 00:08:49,424
till we clear the snipers
out of this area.

102
00:08:49,508 --> 00:08:52,469
I remember when you guys used to like it
when I was up here with ya.

103
00:08:53,887 --> 00:08:55,430
That's when you were
a no-account captain

104
00:08:55,514 --> 00:08:57,099
and snipers didn't give a shit about you,

105
00:08:57,182 --> 00:08:59,268
but now you got that leaf,
you're like prime sirloin.

106
00:09:00,018 --> 00:09:02,688
I think you're just worried
he's gonna miss me and hit one of you.

107
00:09:07,568 --> 00:09:12,990
Okay, E Company, it's time to clear
these houses and find that fucking sniper!

108
00:09:13,907 --> 00:09:15,909
[soldier] Relax, kid.
We're way out of range.

109
00:09:17,369 --> 00:09:20,163
-Except for the snipers, of course.
-Snipers?

110
00:09:20,747 --> 00:09:23,500
Don't bother looking for 'em.
You'll never see 'em.

111
00:09:24,084 --> 00:09:25,460
We're probably out of range anyway.

112
00:09:25,544 --> 00:09:27,963
Isn't that what we told
the last interpreter?

113
00:09:28,046 --> 00:09:29,006
Oh, yeah.

114
00:09:30,716 --> 00:09:32,342
Get 45th HQ.

115
00:09:32,426 --> 00:09:34,761
Yes, sir. I've got the 45th, sir.

116
00:09:38,765 --> 00:09:40,183
[Mann panting]

117
00:09:40,267 --> 00:09:43,770
This is Sparks.
We're moving to Sectors 3, 4 and 5.

118
00:09:44,563 --> 00:09:45,397
All right.

119
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,201
Check upstairs.

120
00:09:58,994 --> 00:10:00,162
Watch for traps.

121
00:10:23,143 --> 00:10:24,436
[gunfire in distance]

122
00:10:33,278 --> 00:10:34,613
What are you doing?

123
00:10:37,991 --> 00:10:39,326
Stop it! Stop it!

124
00:11:08,146 --> 00:11:08,980
Hey!

125
00:11:11,108 --> 00:11:12,234
Is anyone up there?

126
00:11:14,152 --> 00:11:15,529
Told you it wasn't this one.

127
00:11:16,029 --> 00:11:16,905
[Vaccaro] Oh, yeah.

128
00:11:17,406 --> 00:11:19,199
Like the sniper's gonna answer you.

129
00:11:47,477 --> 00:11:48,645
-[shouts]
-[all screaming]

130
00:11:48,729 --> 00:11:49,980
Jesus Christ!

131
00:11:51,106 --> 00:11:52,899
-You okay?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

132
00:11:52,983 --> 00:11:54,651
It's a mother and her kids!

133
00:11:54,735 --> 00:11:58,321
Shh, it's okay. It's okay, it's okay.
Don't worry, it's okay.

134
00:11:58,405 --> 00:12:00,407
-[in German] Watch out!
-[in English] Chief! Stop!

135
00:12:00,490 --> 00:12:01,825
There's someone in the other room!

136
00:12:01,908 --> 00:12:04,453
-[in German] No! Please, no!
-Get out of the way!

137
00:12:04,536 --> 00:12:05,787
[woman in German] No! No! No!

138
00:12:05,871 --> 00:12:08,790
[Vaccaro] Get out of the way!
Get out of the way!

139
00:12:08,874 --> 00:12:11,334
Let me through! Let me through!

140
00:12:12,502 --> 00:12:14,087
-No!
-[panting]

141
00:12:14,171 --> 00:12:15,422
Jesus, it's a kid.

142
00:12:17,716 --> 00:12:18,800
[in German] Butchers!

143
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,303
Pigs!

144
00:12:21,386 --> 00:12:22,345
[in English] Oh, my God.

145
00:12:23,346 --> 00:12:26,767
Shut up. Shut the fuck up.
Is this your son?

146
00:12:26,850 --> 00:12:28,268
-Ja.
-Do you love him?

147
00:12:28,351 --> 00:12:29,269
-Ja.
-Yeah.

148
00:12:29,352 --> 00:12:32,189
Then get him out of this uniform
before he gets killed.

149
00:12:34,900 --> 00:12:36,902
[sobbing]

150
00:12:38,862 --> 00:12:41,281
What do you mean
we're fighting more than four divisions?

151
00:12:41,364 --> 00:12:44,451
Von Lamberth has forced civilians
to participate in the city's defense.

152
00:12:44,534 --> 00:12:46,828
Men, women, sometimes children.

153
00:12:47,412 --> 00:12:49,289
Those who aren't actively fighting…

154
00:12:49,831 --> 00:12:52,834
are being made to occupy buildings
to keep us from destroying them.

155
00:12:54,795 --> 00:12:56,338
Well, why not bypass it?

156
00:12:56,421 --> 00:12:58,381
Aschaffenburg's of no military importance.

157
00:12:58,465 --> 00:13:01,218
We could leave a nominal holding force
behind and move on.

158
00:13:01,301 --> 00:13:03,053
With all due respect, Colonel…

159
00:13:04,012 --> 00:13:06,723
we bail out on this now,
Von Lamberth will call this a victory.

160
00:13:07,516 --> 00:13:10,060
And every other city in Germany
will follow suit.

161
00:13:11,561 --> 00:13:13,230
Well, what option does that leave us?

162
00:13:13,980 --> 00:13:15,941
What he doesn't think we're capable of.

163
00:13:19,110 --> 00:13:19,986
Razing it.

164
00:13:22,739 --> 00:13:23,824

-[shells whistling]
-You ready?

167
00:13:31,206 --> 00:13:34,167
As soon as the artillery finishes,
Walsh'll bring up I Company.

168
00:13:34,251 --> 00:13:35,418
[bullets ricochet]

169
00:13:36,670 --> 00:13:38,547
I thought you cleared out all these homes.

170
00:13:38,630 --> 00:13:42,133
We did. He just keeps finding a way
to double back on us.

171
00:13:42,217 --> 00:13:43,760
[artillery exploding]

172
00:13:46,054 --> 00:13:48,807
As soon as that shelling stops,
be ready to move.

173
00:13:50,350 --> 00:13:51,226
It's about time.

174
00:13:52,435 --> 00:13:53,937
Hope they flatten that church.

175
00:13:55,272 --> 00:13:57,816
-Hope they flatten the whole damn town.
-Hey, boy.

176
00:13:58,316 --> 00:14:00,068
What in the hell is wrong with you?

177
00:14:00,652 --> 00:14:02,362
There are innocent people up there.

178
00:14:03,113 --> 00:14:04,823
You want me to feel sorry for 'em?

179
00:14:05,866 --> 00:14:06,700
I don't.

180
00:14:07,993 --> 00:14:11,121
They should taste what they've been doing
to everybody else this whole damn war.

181
00:14:13,164 --> 00:14:14,916
[shells whistling]

182
00:14:23,967 --> 00:14:25,051
Okay, let's move.

183
00:15:07,552 --> 00:15:08,511
Hold your fire.

184
00:15:14,559 --> 00:15:15,560
[in German] Please.

185
00:15:16,603 --> 00:15:17,771
[Junior in English] Jesus.

186
00:15:24,945 --> 00:15:25,862
Medic!

187
00:15:33,370 --> 00:15:34,371
Don't you die.

188
00:15:35,914 --> 00:15:36,748
Don't you die.

189
00:15:41,252 --> 00:15:42,462
[grunts]

190
00:15:43,213 --> 00:15:44,172
Medic!

191
00:15:45,924 --> 00:15:49,344
Okay. She's injured! Help her. Come on!

192
00:15:51,513 --> 00:15:55,016
Okay. Hey, hey, look at me.
You're gonna be okay, you understand?

193
00:15:55,976 --> 00:15:59,270
Understand me? They're gonna take
good care of you, okay? Hey, look at me.

194
00:15:59,354 --> 00:16:02,774
Okay. You're gonna be okay. These guys
are gonna look after you. Understand?

195
00:16:03,358 --> 00:16:04,818
[medic] Okay, let's move her.

196
00:16:20,750 --> 00:16:22,502
[engine starts]

197
00:16:26,423 --> 00:16:27,882
[gunshot]

198
00:16:27,966 --> 00:16:28,800
I see him!

199
00:16:55,285 --> 00:16:56,119
Clear.

200
00:16:58,038 --> 00:16:58,872
Empty.

201
00:17:00,123 --> 00:17:01,583
Sarge, you sure he was here?

202
00:17:01,666 --> 00:17:02,751
Hell, yeah, I'm sure.

203
00:17:03,418 --> 00:17:04,502
[Coldfoot] Let's move.

204
00:17:45,835 --> 00:17:46,669
[floorboard creaks]

205
00:18:24,374 --> 00:18:25,583
[groans]

206
00:18:28,878 --> 00:18:29,712
Where's Gomez?

207
00:18:30,630 --> 00:18:32,715
He's just checking out
the last apartment, sir.

208
00:18:36,928 --> 00:18:37,804
[in Spanish] Come on.

209
00:18:37,887 --> 00:18:39,889
[breathing heavily]

210
00:18:42,350 --> 00:18:43,977
[chuckling]

211
00:18:44,853 --> 00:18:45,728
Asshole.

212
00:18:46,938 --> 00:18:47,897
[laughs]

213
00:18:49,899 --> 00:18:50,733
[groans]

214
00:18:52,277 --> 00:18:53,111
Shit.

215
00:18:58,324 --> 00:18:59,159
Gomez!

216
00:19:03,955 --> 00:19:05,165
[Vaccaro in English] Sarge?

217
00:19:05,665 --> 00:19:06,541
[weakly] Hey.

218
00:19:07,292 --> 00:19:09,043
[groaning]

219
00:19:11,921 --> 00:19:12,755
[softly] Hey.

220
00:19:13,882 --> 00:19:15,842
[panting]

221
00:19:17,635 --> 00:19:18,469
[grunts]

222
00:19:21,598 --> 00:19:23,892
Okay. Get back to the others.

223
00:19:33,067 --> 00:19:34,235
[winces]

224
00:19:37,906 --> 00:19:38,740
So…

225
00:19:40,617 --> 00:19:41,784
[in Spanish] Idiot…

226
00:19:43,286 --> 00:19:44,537
[in English] Look around.

227
00:19:48,374 --> 00:19:50,168
This is your fucking grave.

228
00:19:51,085 --> 00:19:52,420
[whimpering]

229
00:19:54,214 --> 00:19:56,674
[panting]

230
00:20:07,018 --> 00:20:08,102
[footsteps approaching]

231
00:20:09,646 --> 00:20:11,147
[Coldfoot] Gomez! Gomez!

232
00:20:11,231 --> 00:20:12,273
Hey, hey, hey, hey!

233
00:20:13,483 --> 00:20:14,484
Come on, buddy. Let's go.

234
00:20:17,779 --> 00:20:20,323
Medic! Get the medic in here now!

235
00:20:24,202 --> 00:20:25,787
I got the son of a bitch, sir.

236
00:20:26,329 --> 00:20:27,497
I knew you would.

237
00:20:29,165 --> 00:20:31,626
We almost made it, didn't we?

238
00:20:32,543 --> 00:20:33,753
Shut the fuck up.

239
00:20:33,836 --> 00:20:34,921
You're gonna be fine.

240
00:20:35,004 --> 00:20:38,883
Right. You and me are gonna make general.

241
00:20:43,888 --> 00:20:44,806
[Coldfoot grunts]

242
00:20:46,516 --> 00:20:50,353
[in Spanish] These are good men.

243
00:20:53,022 --> 00:20:54,065
Your men.

244
00:21:00,530 --> 00:21:01,990
[shudders]

245
00:21:04,409 --> 00:21:05,618
[exhales softly]

246
00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:22,927
[in English] All right.
E Company! Let's go!

247
00:21:30,518 --> 00:21:31,602
[Sparks] Dear Mary…

248
00:21:32,603 --> 00:21:35,440
I'm told it took a thousand years
to build Aschaffenburg.

249
00:21:35,940 --> 00:21:38,860
It took us and the Nazis
less than a week to destroy it.

250
00:21:40,737 --> 00:21:43,114
Today, I am ordered to accept

251
00:21:43,197 --> 00:21:45,700
the surrender of the city
from its commandant.

252
00:21:46,367 --> 00:21:48,244
It's a fancy ceremony
with speeches and protocol.

253
00:21:49,871 --> 00:21:50,872
If you ask me,

254
00:21:51,414 --> 00:21:54,667
neither side should be making a spectacle
after what happened here.

255
00:21:55,835 --> 00:21:59,839
[clears throat] At 11:00,
we meet Von Lamberth's staff at City Hall.

256
00:22:00,340 --> 00:22:01,841
You'll then be escorted to the ballroom

257
00:22:01,924 --> 00:22:04,635
where the major will deliver
a surrender speech over the radio

258
00:22:05,136 --> 00:22:06,721
and then offer you his sidearm.

259
00:22:12,060 --> 00:22:13,269
What's that sign say?

260
00:22:13,353 --> 00:22:16,522
-[Mann] "This is the reward for cowards."
-Stop the Jeep.

261
00:22:20,109 --> 00:22:23,738
[in German]  Please.
Please help my husband.

262
00:22:24,364 --> 00:22:26,032
[speaking German]

263
00:22:30,286 --> 00:22:32,663
[in English] She says he's not
a traitor or a coward.

264
00:22:32,747 --> 00:22:35,958
She says that they dragged him
out of his bed and hung him.

265
00:22:36,042 --> 00:22:37,293
[speaking German]

266
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,755
These are… his orders.

267
00:22:40,838 --> 00:22:44,884
He was a lieutenant sent home
to recover from wounds.

268
00:22:47,428 --> 00:22:50,348
Ask her... ask her who did this.

269
00:22:50,431 --> 00:22:51,557
Who did this?

270
00:22:51,641 --> 00:22:52,809
[speaking German]

271
00:22:55,978 --> 00:22:57,855
[in English] She says
Maj. Von Lamberth, sir.

272
00:22:57,939 --> 00:22:59,524
[woman in German] He threatened everyone.

273
00:23:00,566 --> 00:23:02,902
Walsh, cut this soldier down.

274
00:23:03,861 --> 00:23:05,321
Right. Tell her something from me.

275
00:23:05,405 --> 00:23:06,614
-[Mann] Okay.
-Tell her…

276
00:23:08,574 --> 00:23:10,159
her husband will be taken care of.

277
00:23:10,243 --> 00:23:13,871
He will receive
a proper military burial with honors.

278
00:23:13,955 --> 00:23:15,331
[Mann translating into German]

279
00:23:15,415 --> 00:23:17,166
Tell her everything will be okay.

280
00:23:18,209 --> 00:23:19,168
She has my word.

281
00:23:19,669 --> 00:23:22,422
Sir. I'm not sure this is a good idea
with the surrender and everything.

282
00:23:22,505 --> 00:23:23,381
Do it.

283
00:23:25,466 --> 00:23:28,052
Should I tell them all it's okay, sir?

284
00:23:30,430 --> 00:23:31,264
No.

285
00:23:32,723 --> 00:23:34,725
It's not you they need to hear it from.

286
00:23:34,809 --> 00:23:36,811
[vehicle approaching]

287
00:23:43,734 --> 00:23:46,237
Good morning, Colonel.
Maj. Von Lamberth is waiting for you.

288
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,989
Tell the him there's been
a change of plan.

289
00:23:48,072 --> 00:23:49,157
We're going for a ride.

290
00:23:49,782 --> 00:23:52,201
But, Colonel,
Gen. Frederick assured the major that--

291
00:23:52,285 --> 00:23:54,328
I don't give a fuck
what Gen. Frederick promised.

292
00:23:54,829 --> 00:23:58,374
You tell your major to get his regal ass
down these stairs right now

293
00:23:58,458 --> 00:24:00,042
or my men will do it for him.

294
00:24:00,710 --> 00:24:01,794
Do you understand?

295
00:24:01,878 --> 00:24:03,880
[Von Lamberth in German]
Citizens of Aschaffenburg…

296
00:24:05,214 --> 00:24:06,591
put down your weapons.

297
00:24:08,092 --> 00:24:09,427
The fighting is over.

298
00:24:10,887 --> 00:24:12,555
As of 09:00 hours this morning…

299
00:24:13,431 --> 00:24:16,684
we have ended all hostilities
with the Allied forces.

300
00:24:17,643 --> 00:24:19,645
Citizens of Aschaffenburg…

301
00:24:20,980 --> 00:24:22,231
put down your weapons.

302
00:24:22,773 --> 00:24:23,900
The fighting is over.

303
00:24:25,485 --> 00:24:27,111
As of 09:00 hours this morning…

304
00:24:27,695 --> 00:24:29,280
we have ended all hostilities--

305
00:24:39,624 --> 00:24:42,001
He was a hero! You are a coward!

306
00:24:49,008 --> 00:24:49,842
[spits]

307
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,597
-[in English] He said--
-I know what he said.

308
00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:00,228
[Sparks] My mother used to say only fools
empty ashtrays when the house is on fire.

309
00:25:01,687 --> 00:25:03,564
And I realize that's been my problem.

310
00:25:05,483 --> 00:25:06,692
I've been trying so hard

311
00:25:06,776 --> 00:25:08,986
to hold onto the person I was
before the war.

312
00:25:09,779 --> 00:25:10,863
And the truth is…

313
00:25:12,156 --> 00:25:14,700
that person has been gone for a long time.

314
00:25:15,576 --> 00:25:16,953
Probably is gone forever.

315
00:25:19,914 --> 00:25:21,666
This war has changed us all.

316
00:25:23,918 --> 00:25:25,670
None of us will ever be the same.

317
00:25:28,256 --> 00:25:29,757
I hope we've seen it all.

318
00:26:39,076 --> 00:26:40,786
Man, it doesn't feel like spring.

319
00:26:41,537 --> 00:26:43,831
My hands are frozen.
I can't feel my fingers.

320
00:26:44,332 --> 00:26:45,458
Yeah, it does.

321
00:26:45,541 --> 00:26:47,376
It feels like a Chicago spring.

322
00:26:47,460 --> 00:26:50,546
Like opening day at Wrigley Field
where you freeze your ass off.

323
00:26:51,047 --> 00:26:51,881
[exhales]

324
00:27:27,625 --> 00:27:31,212
Looks like a POW camp, Colonel,
but ain't nobody in the towers.

325
00:27:31,295 --> 00:27:32,880
-Ugh.
-What's that smell?

326
00:27:43,766 --> 00:27:44,684
Oh, my God!

327
00:27:44,767 --> 00:27:46,435
-[coughs]
-[groaning]

328
00:27:47,269 --> 00:27:48,396
[retches]

329
00:27:57,613 --> 00:27:59,407
Open them. Open them all!

330
00:28:01,617 --> 00:28:03,035
Let's go! Let's go!

331
00:28:09,375 --> 00:28:10,376
[doors open]

332
00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:19,135
[grunts]

333
00:28:24,140 --> 00:28:25,224
Who would do this?

334
00:28:27,268 --> 00:28:28,477
Where have you been?

335
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:30,938
We know who did this.

336
00:28:43,784 --> 00:28:44,618
Hey!

337
00:28:45,119 --> 00:28:46,996
We know they're still in there.

338
00:28:47,079 --> 00:28:49,498
-I say we get 'em!
-Yeah! Yeah!

339
00:28:49,582 --> 00:28:51,333
-Get 'em!
-Come on, guys!

340
00:28:51,417 --> 00:28:52,752
[gunshot]

341
00:28:54,462 --> 00:28:58,674
Our orders are to secure this camp
and that's what we're gonna do.

342
00:28:59,341 --> 00:29:00,342
Nothing more.

343
00:29:02,470 --> 00:29:03,304
[sighs]

344
00:29:04,180 --> 00:29:05,347
Secure the front entrance.

345
00:29:05,431 --> 00:29:08,309
Make sure no one gets in or out
before we figure out what this place is.

346
00:29:09,518 --> 00:29:12,104
Walsh, secure the rear gate.

347
00:29:13,814 --> 00:29:14,648
Walsh!

348
00:29:16,442 --> 00:29:17,276
You hear me?

349
00:29:18,527 --> 00:29:20,279
Yes, sir. Let's go.

350
00:29:25,785 --> 00:29:27,369
How are you boys at climbing walls?

351
00:30:02,696 --> 00:30:04,323
It's an officer's quarters.

352
00:30:05,324 --> 00:30:07,660
[clock ticking]

353
00:30:43,696 --> 00:30:44,530
Spread out.

354
00:30:54,373 --> 00:30:55,916
Don't shoot. We surrender.

355
00:31:26,447 --> 00:31:28,324
What kind of operating room is this?

356
00:31:28,407 --> 00:31:29,241
God.

357
00:31:31,035 --> 00:31:32,286
It's an autopsy room.

358
00:31:33,162 --> 00:31:34,455
I've seen one back home.

359
00:31:35,706 --> 00:31:36,540
Really?

360
00:31:37,374 --> 00:31:39,543
Since when
do you need to tie down a corpse?

361
00:31:51,555 --> 00:31:52,848
Mann, what does this say?

362
00:31:55,851 --> 00:31:57,770
[Mann] "There is a path to freedom.

363
00:31:59,438 --> 00:32:01,690
Its milestones are…

364
00:32:02,650 --> 00:32:07,738
honesty, cleanliness,
sobriety, hard work…

365
00:32:08,405 --> 00:32:10,449
and love of the Fatherland."

366
00:32:11,367 --> 00:32:12,952
[Sparks] Who's that meant for?

367
00:32:13,994 --> 00:32:14,870
Them, sir.

368
00:32:18,624 --> 00:32:19,917
Holy Christ.

369
00:32:23,671 --> 00:32:24,964
[coughing]

370
00:32:30,010 --> 00:32:31,637
They're just stick figures.

371
00:32:44,108 --> 00:32:45,150
[speaking German]

372
00:32:47,236 --> 00:32:48,237
What's he saying?

373
00:32:48,821 --> 00:32:51,281
He wants to know if you are a dream, sir.

374
00:32:55,327 --> 00:32:56,537
Get back in touch with Command.

375
00:32:56,620 --> 00:33:00,207
Tell them we need food, doctors,
clothing, medicine immediately.

376
00:33:10,467 --> 00:33:13,345
There are no hostiles here.
We are wounded soldiers.

377
00:33:13,429 --> 00:33:15,180
Get 'em out. Everybody out.

378
00:33:15,264 --> 00:33:18,142
-But they are all injured.
-I don't give a damn. Now!

379
00:33:22,688 --> 00:33:23,564
Get 'em out.

380
00:33:24,857 --> 00:33:25,691
Move!

381
00:33:28,861 --> 00:33:29,695
Line 'em up.

382
00:33:35,075 --> 00:33:38,120
-Get a machine gun in here.
-[Hobson] The hell are you looking at?

383
00:33:39,413 --> 00:33:40,622
Get moving!

384
00:33:41,498 --> 00:33:42,916
-Get the hell up!
-Sergeant…

385
00:33:43,917 --> 00:33:46,045
most of these men are wounded.
They cannot stand.

386
00:33:46,128 --> 00:33:49,923
Oh yeah? And did you think about that
when you were guarding your prisoners?

387
00:33:50,758 --> 00:33:52,926
We are not the prison guards.
They are gone.

388
00:33:53,677 --> 00:33:55,721
We are soldiers just like you.

389
00:33:56,221 --> 00:34:01,018
No. You're not just like us.
You're nothing like us!

390
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:09,693
Colonel! Come quick!

391
00:34:14,364 --> 00:34:16,950
Private Curtain, man the gun.

392
00:34:21,413 --> 00:34:23,624
Keep your fucking hands up.

393
00:34:26,543 --> 00:34:28,295
But they are wounded. They can't do it.

394
00:34:28,796 --> 00:34:33,634
Curtain, if any of these bastards
so much as move, let 'em have it.

395
00:34:37,179 --> 00:34:39,640
-Sarge? They're moving.
-Keep it on them.

396
00:34:40,224 --> 00:34:41,725
-Sarge!
-Don't let them get away.

397
00:34:44,186 --> 00:34:45,395
[in German] Get on the ground!

398
00:34:54,571 --> 00:34:55,864
What the hell are you doing?

399
00:34:55,948 --> 00:34:58,450
-Colonel, they were trying to get away.
-They're unarmed!

400
00:34:58,534 --> 00:35:00,285
They're animals. They deserve to die.

401
00:35:00,369 --> 00:35:02,079
That is not your decision to make!

402
00:35:02,579 --> 00:35:03,455
Listen to me!

403
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,586
I am as sickened by this place as you are,
but this is not what we came here to do!

404
00:35:11,922 --> 00:35:13,549
This is what we came here to stop.

405
00:35:14,049 --> 00:35:16,051
[panting]

406
00:35:17,845 --> 00:35:18,846
Arrest these men.

407
00:35:22,141 --> 00:35:23,058
Medics!

408
00:35:23,684 --> 00:35:24,977
Give these men some help.

409
00:35:44,037 --> 00:35:45,998
[coughing]

410
00:35:49,084 --> 00:35:51,086
[breathing slowly]

411
00:36:12,941 --> 00:36:15,694
I wish I could tell you
this was an isolated incident.

412
00:36:17,571 --> 00:36:19,281
We're finding these camps everywhere.

413
00:36:19,781 --> 00:36:23,285
In Poland, they're double,
triple this size.

414
00:36:23,368 --> 00:36:24,661
Filled with men, women…

415
00:36:26,330 --> 00:36:27,206
and children.

416
00:36:33,212 --> 00:36:35,881
I heard about the coal yard incident,
Felix.

417
00:36:35,964 --> 00:36:37,174
What were the casualties?

418
00:36:38,050 --> 00:36:39,801
Seventeen dead, 12 wounded.

419
00:36:40,302 --> 00:36:41,637
The men just snapped, sir.

420
00:36:42,304 --> 00:36:43,305
First the train…

421
00:36:44,473 --> 00:36:45,307
then this.

422
00:36:46,141 --> 00:36:46,975
Who wouldn't?

423
00:36:47,768 --> 00:36:49,728
I'll make sure to mention it in my report.

424
00:36:50,229 --> 00:36:54,149
The good news is, now that he's dead,
we're moving your men outta here…

425
00:36:55,150 --> 00:36:56,026
and into Munich.

426
00:36:57,653 --> 00:36:59,071
-Who's dead, sir?
-Hitler.

427
00:36:59,655 --> 00:37:01,240
Word came this morning from Berlin.

428
00:37:01,323 --> 00:37:02,783
The Germans have surrendered.

429
00:37:14,044 --> 00:37:15,087
[Sparks] Dear Mary…

430
00:37:16,505 --> 00:37:19,299
And just like that, the war ended.

431
00:37:21,093 --> 00:37:22,761
Unfortunately, not for me.

432
00:37:34,856 --> 00:37:36,858
Were you present
when this picture was taken?

433
00:37:36,942 --> 00:37:39,194
And if so, where was your position?

434
00:37:39,278 --> 00:37:40,445
[Curtain] I was there.

435
00:37:41,238 --> 00:37:42,406
Behind the machine gun?

436
00:37:43,949 --> 00:37:45,284
What were your orders, Private?

437
00:37:45,826 --> 00:37:47,077
To guard the prisoners.

438
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:49,329
Not to let them escape.

439
00:37:50,163 --> 00:37:51,665
And when did you open fire?

440
00:37:53,250 --> 00:37:54,584
When they tried to get away.

441
00:37:59,673 --> 00:38:00,882
I swear, sir.

442
00:38:01,967 --> 00:38:03,427
I saw them moving.

443
00:38:04,553 --> 00:38:07,764
Did your experiences
in the German POW camp

444
00:38:07,848 --> 00:38:09,141
make you want to shoot these men?

445
00:38:09,224 --> 00:38:10,058
No.

446
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,437
To get them back
for their treatment of you?

447
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,566
I was following orders, sir.
We'd seen the Germans flee the compound.

448
00:38:17,649 --> 00:38:19,401
So when they began to move…

449
00:38:21,069 --> 00:38:21,903
we opened fire.

450
00:38:21,987 --> 00:38:23,739
And who ordered you to open fire?

451
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:28,368
Sergeant Walsh.

452
00:38:28,452 --> 00:38:31,830
Did you intend to execute these men
when you lined them up against the wall?

453
00:38:32,998 --> 00:38:33,832
No, sir.

454
00:38:35,334 --> 00:38:37,878
The coal yard just happened to be
the best place to hold them.

455
00:38:37,961 --> 00:38:40,047
And were you aware
that many of these prisoners

456
00:38:40,130 --> 00:38:42,299
were brought from the camp infirmary
and were wounded?

457
00:38:42,382 --> 00:38:47,804
Sir, our orders were to round them all up
in the camp and keep them from escaping.

458
00:38:49,639 --> 00:38:51,183
And who gave you these orders?

459
00:38:53,685 --> 00:38:56,938
Was Col. Sparks present
at the time of the shooting?

460
00:39:00,025 --> 00:39:01,651
Tell me when you saw Col. Sparks.

461
00:39:14,122 --> 00:39:14,956
General.

462
00:39:15,874 --> 00:39:17,125
I wasn't expecting a visit.

463
00:39:17,209 --> 00:39:20,629
The 45th have been selected
to make the invasion of Japan, Felix.

464
00:39:20,712 --> 00:39:23,090
We're gonna re-equip and retrain
in the States.

465
00:39:23,173 --> 00:39:26,009
I think everybody knew we wouldn't be
going home till this was all over.

466
00:39:26,093 --> 00:39:28,095
Unfortunately,
you've been ordered to stay.

467
00:39:29,554 --> 00:39:30,389
Sir?

468
00:39:30,472 --> 00:39:33,016
The coal yard investigation
has become a big deal.

469
00:39:33,892 --> 00:39:37,354
Been taken over
by 7th Army Chief of Staff Gen. White.

470
00:39:39,314 --> 00:39:40,273
And the focus is on you.

471
00:39:42,234 --> 00:39:43,110
Me?

472
00:39:43,193 --> 00:39:46,154
We're in a politically sensitive moment,
Felix.

473
00:39:46,238 --> 00:39:49,157
Washington is concerned
with the way it looks to the world.

474
00:39:51,910 --> 00:39:55,747
You are ordered to report
to 7th Army Headquarters tomorrow at 09:00

475
00:39:55,831 --> 00:39:58,708
where the Army judge advocate will present
the charges filed against you.

476
00:40:03,713 --> 00:40:04,714
I'm sorry, Felix.

477
00:40:23,859 --> 00:40:24,776
Yeah.

478
00:40:27,237 --> 00:40:29,281
Sir, the troops are ready to move out.

479
00:40:30,198 --> 00:40:32,451
-If you'd like me to stay, I--
-No, no.

480
00:40:34,161 --> 00:40:35,787
Get going, Bruce. I'm okay.

481
00:40:37,205 --> 00:40:38,290
It was an honor, sir.

482
00:40:43,336 --> 00:40:44,171
Sir.

483
00:40:45,505 --> 00:40:48,008
If you ever need a driver back home,
I'm your man.

484
00:40:49,217 --> 00:40:50,760
Be an honor, Corporal Kanuna.

485
00:40:52,053 --> 00:40:53,346
-You got it.
-[chuckles]

486
00:41:14,910 --> 00:41:15,785
Okay!

487
00:41:16,578 --> 00:41:18,163
Let's get this show on the road.

488
00:41:23,710 --> 00:41:24,836
[Sparks] Dearest Mary…

489
00:41:26,087 --> 00:41:28,673
I never asked
to be a leader of three divisions.

490
00:41:29,758 --> 00:41:32,677
The only thing I ever asked for
was a rifle company in Oklahoma.

491
00:41:34,471 --> 00:41:36,097
But when you start down a path…

492
00:41:37,224 --> 00:41:38,934
you never know where it will lead.

493
00:41:43,230 --> 00:41:47,526
Excuse me.
I'm looking for Gen. Gainer's office, 43?

494
00:41:49,903 --> 00:41:50,779
Thank you.

495
00:42:08,797 --> 00:42:10,173
[phone ringing]

496
00:42:16,263 --> 00:42:17,264
Yes, sir.

497
00:42:18,265 --> 00:42:19,099
[sniffs]

498
00:42:27,607 --> 00:42:28,608
Col. Sparks.

499
00:42:29,359 --> 00:42:30,193
This way, sir.

500
00:42:30,777 --> 00:42:33,154
Colonel, you're formally charged
in dereliction of your duty

501
00:42:33,238 --> 00:42:34,948
as an officer in the United States Army,

502
00:42:35,031 --> 00:42:39,119
leading to the deaths
of 17 unarmed German prisoners of war.

503
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,122
Details of your case
have been investigated

504
00:42:42,205 --> 00:42:44,624
and the findings have reached
the highest level of Army Command

505
00:42:44,708 --> 00:42:47,669
and, for that reason,
your case is going to be reviewed

506
00:42:47,752 --> 00:42:50,589
by the chief Army justice
at Military Command.

507
00:42:50,672 --> 00:42:53,633
Sir, this is the first time
I've been presented with these charges.

508
00:42:53,717 --> 00:42:54,634
If I may ex--

509
00:42:56,720 --> 00:42:58,722
You'll have an opportunity
to present your testimony

510
00:42:58,805 --> 00:43:00,098
tomorrow at the hearing, Colonel.

511
00:43:01,099 --> 00:43:06,104
Report to Occupation Command HQ at 09:00,
office 1644.

512
00:43:09,566 --> 00:43:10,525
Dismissed.

513
00:43:11,234 --> 00:43:12,152
Col. Sparks?

514
00:43:12,652 --> 00:43:13,486
Yes?

515
00:43:14,362 --> 00:43:15,488
Your driver's here, sir.

516
00:43:15,572 --> 00:43:17,490
-[car approaching]
-I don't have a driver.

517
00:43:19,951 --> 00:43:23,955
So, Gomez, after he brings you in,
he's yelling at the major,

518
00:43:24,039 --> 00:43:26,082
"Get him in the operating room right now.

519
00:43:26,166 --> 00:43:28,084
Otherwise,
I'm gonna tear this place down."

520
00:43:28,585 --> 00:43:30,879
-Yeah. Yeah, he would have too.
-Yeah.

521
00:43:36,343 --> 00:43:37,510
Ah, he should be here.

522
00:43:39,554 --> 00:43:40,430
They all should.

523
00:43:42,932 --> 00:43:43,767
Hallowell…

524
00:43:45,060 --> 00:43:48,188
Cruz, Cloudfeather, Garcia.

525
00:43:48,855 --> 00:43:49,731
Childers.

526
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:51,900
You remembered their names.

527
00:43:53,902 --> 00:43:55,236
I wrote a lot of letters.

528
00:43:59,908 --> 00:44:02,243
Well, since they ain't here,
it's my job to say this.

529
00:44:04,162 --> 00:44:06,164
You were the best leader
we could have asked for.

530
00:44:07,332 --> 00:44:09,668
You came back to us
when you could've gone home.

531
00:44:10,460 --> 00:44:12,879
Hell, you made us feel like men
when others didn't.

532
00:44:16,466 --> 00:44:17,801
Hell, you gave us a chance.

533
00:44:19,844 --> 00:44:20,762
Especially me.

534
00:44:24,766 --> 00:44:26,393
I didn't give anybody anything.

535
00:44:28,311 --> 00:44:29,229
They earned it.

536
00:44:32,857 --> 00:44:33,983
Especially you.

537
00:44:53,420 --> 00:44:54,254
Sam…

538
00:44:56,297 --> 00:44:57,132
thanks.

539
00:44:58,425 --> 00:45:01,010
You ever get to Madison, Oklahoma,
I'm easy to find.

540
00:45:13,273 --> 00:45:14,357
Where were you going?

541
00:45:16,317 --> 00:45:18,653
That day I stopped you
outside Johnson's bar?

542
00:45:22,532 --> 00:45:23,700
I was going to see a…

543
00:45:24,743 --> 00:45:27,287
particular sergeant
who had made my life miserable.

544
00:45:31,166 --> 00:45:32,250
I was gonna kill him.

545
00:45:34,294 --> 00:45:36,171
They'd have sent you to Leavenworth.

546
00:45:37,797 --> 00:45:38,631
[chuckles]

547
00:45:39,466 --> 00:45:40,300
Yeah.

548
00:45:43,011 --> 00:45:45,096
Yeah, but I got made a sergeant instead.

549
00:46:00,695 --> 00:46:03,656
Please take a seat.
The general will be with you shortly.

550
00:46:10,538 --> 00:46:11,414
[door closes]

551
00:46:23,843 --> 00:46:24,886
[sighs]

552
00:46:32,268 --> 00:46:33,102
As you were.

553
00:46:37,565 --> 00:46:39,651
I'm sorry, sir. I was ordered to…

554
00:46:40,318 --> 00:46:42,570
uh, come and see the chief Army justice.

555
00:46:43,238 --> 00:46:45,824
That would be me, Colonel. Sit.

556
00:46:50,954 --> 00:46:52,330
Some office, isn't it?

557
00:46:55,708 --> 00:46:58,628
Used to belong
to the publisher of Mein Kampf.

558
00:47:00,964 --> 00:47:02,799
Guess it pays to have a best seller.

559
00:47:09,639 --> 00:47:12,392
Col. Sparks, these are
some serious charges against you.

560
00:47:13,601 --> 00:47:15,395
If I may, sir, I've not had the--

561
00:47:15,478 --> 00:47:17,939
You were one of Charlie Ankcorn's boys
in Sicily.

562
00:47:18,439 --> 00:47:19,315
Yes, sir.

563
00:47:20,733 --> 00:47:21,568
[chuckles]

564
00:47:23,236 --> 00:47:25,738
And fought at Salerno with Middleton.

565
00:47:26,406 --> 00:47:27,240
Yes, sir.

566
00:47:28,533 --> 00:47:29,367
Wounded.

567
00:47:31,327 --> 00:47:34,038
Evacuated to Algiers for surgery.

568
00:47:34,831 --> 00:47:37,041
Reclassified unfit for active combat.

569
00:47:40,420 --> 00:47:43,298
Went AWOL and hijacked a B-17?

570
00:47:44,632 --> 00:47:45,925
I hitched a ride, sir.

571
00:47:46,426 --> 00:47:48,344
Went back to Italy to join your men.

572
00:47:53,391 --> 00:47:54,225
Hmm.

573
00:48:00,356 --> 00:48:01,274
Anzio.

574
00:48:04,986 --> 00:48:06,446
Via Anziate.

575
00:48:08,156 --> 00:48:11,492
Your unit stopped that brilliant bastard
Kesselring in his tracks.

576
00:48:12,952 --> 00:48:14,913
Got the Presidential Unit Citation.

577
00:48:16,331 --> 00:48:17,624
My company did, sir.

578
00:48:22,420 --> 00:48:23,796
Then Operation Dragoon.

579
00:48:24,797 --> 00:48:26,799
Up through France into the Vosges.

580
00:48:27,383 --> 00:48:28,885
[laughs]

581
00:48:29,010 --> 00:48:31,679
Spit in Bob Frederick's face, did you?

582
00:48:33,431 --> 00:48:34,891
We had a disagreement, sir.

583
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,393
Disagreement with superiors.

584
00:48:38,728 --> 00:48:40,563
I wouldn't know anything about that.

585
00:48:42,774 --> 00:48:45,568
Aschaffenburg. More bad business.

586
00:48:47,612 --> 00:48:48,488
And finally…

587
00:48:49,781 --> 00:48:50,907
Dachau.

588
00:48:58,623 --> 00:48:59,666
[swallowing]

589
00:49:08,132 --> 00:49:11,803
"On April 29, 1945
at approximately 09:30 hours,

590
00:49:11,886 --> 00:49:14,430
men from Company I, 157th regiment…

591
00:49:15,264 --> 00:49:18,267
under the command
of Lt. Col. Felix Sparks…

592
00:49:19,143 --> 00:49:21,104
committed the premeditated murder…

593
00:49:22,355 --> 00:49:27,026
of 17 unarmed German soldiers
at Dachau concentration camp."

594
00:49:32,573 --> 00:49:34,450
Colonel, do you deny
this shooting took place?

595
00:49:34,534 --> 00:49:37,537
-No, sir. But my men were under extreme--
-It's not about your men, Colonel.

596
00:49:37,620 --> 00:49:39,455
Were you in the coal yard
during the shooting?

597
00:49:39,539 --> 00:49:41,749
No, sir, but I was responsible--

598
00:49:41,833 --> 00:49:46,379
Did you give the orders to your men
to open fire on those prisoners?

599
00:49:46,462 --> 00:49:47,714
No, sir, I did not.

600
00:49:48,297 --> 00:49:49,465
But they are still my men.

601
00:49:54,929 --> 00:49:58,599
Hmm. [sighs deeply]

602
00:49:58,683 --> 00:50:00,435
Colonel, would you call me a hero?

603
00:50:04,147 --> 00:50:06,649
Uh, of course, sir.

604
00:50:07,859 --> 00:50:11,070
I've been a professional soldier
nearly 37 years.

605
00:50:12,155 --> 00:50:13,156
Mexico…

606
00:50:13,906 --> 00:50:15,074
two world wars.

607
00:50:16,451 --> 00:50:18,703
During that time,
I've seen a great deal of combat

608
00:50:18,786 --> 00:50:21,622
and, like you,
I've been wounded in the line of duty.

609
00:50:21,706 --> 00:50:25,418
But if you added together all the time
I've spent within the sound of gunfire…

610
00:50:26,377 --> 00:50:29,797
it would come to maybe 50 weeks.

611
00:50:31,549 --> 00:50:33,092
350 days.

612
00:50:34,844 --> 00:50:36,888
You, on the other hand…

613
00:50:38,014 --> 00:50:39,599
have spent over 500.

614
00:50:41,809 --> 00:50:44,687
Five hundred days.

615
00:50:47,273 --> 00:50:48,191
So, tell me….

616
00:50:50,151 --> 00:50:51,152
who's the hero?

617
00:50:55,865 --> 00:50:57,075
[sighs]

618
00:51:01,621 --> 00:51:02,789
Go home, Felix.

619
00:51:05,208 --> 00:51:06,042
Go home.

620
00:51:11,047 --> 00:51:13,299
And don't let the scars ruin you.

621
00:51:19,722 --> 00:51:20,556
Dismissed.

622
00:51:32,151 --> 00:51:33,152
[Sparks] Dear Mary…

623
00:51:34,946 --> 00:51:37,073
my life as a soldier is over.

624
00:51:49,877 --> 00:51:53,548
After leaving Germany, they put me
in charge of sending our troops home.

625
00:51:54,132 --> 00:51:56,968
I took the job literally
and put myself on a ship.

626
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,059
When I get back,
they will discharge me from Fort Bliss,

627
00:52:05,143 --> 00:52:07,812
which is outside of El Paso,
much closer to you.

628
00:52:08,771 --> 00:52:09,605
Please meet me there.

629
00:52:09,689 --> 00:52:11,315
[train horn blares]

630
00:52:12,150 --> 00:52:14,026
I can't wait to see our new son.

631
00:52:15,736 --> 00:52:17,238
But I need to see you first.

632
00:52:19,532 --> 00:52:21,826
The war has changed me, Mary.

633
00:52:23,661 --> 00:52:26,414
I have seen horrors
inflicted by one human to another

634
00:52:26,497 --> 00:52:28,958
that are beyond all reason or explanation.

635
00:52:30,710 --> 00:52:31,794
I have killed men.

636
00:52:33,212 --> 00:52:34,589
And seen men killed.

637
00:52:36,591 --> 00:52:40,178
And I have lived when others
more deserving of life have perished.

638
00:52:43,264 --> 00:52:46,767
These experiences have made me
a different man than the one you married.

639
00:52:46,851 --> 00:52:49,103
And perhaps one you'll no longer want.

640
00:52:51,522 --> 00:52:52,607
But I hope you will.

641
00:52:56,027 --> 00:52:57,111
I pray you will.

642
00:53:15,755 --> 00:53:17,757
[crying]
