[dark brooding music]
[thunder rumbles]
Your cup of coffee, Captain.
Ah. Thank you, Mr. Garver.
[Garver]
Quiet night, sir?
Just the way we like it.
I'm sure our passenger
would appreciate
a cup of that coffee as well.
Yes, sir.
Look sharp, gentlemen.
Let's catch up
to those escorts, shall we?
- Mr. Pinnetti.
- Sir.
Maintain our zigzag,
but prepare to come
to a new heading.
Aye, Captain.
Mr. Timmons.
Relay word
we're preparing
for a starboard bearing.
Aye, sir.
[dark brooding music]
Oh.
[knocking]
[dark brooding music continues]
[knocking]
Oh, hello.
Mister...
Garver, ma'am.
The ship's cook.
Of course.
We met earlier.
I remember now.
How can I help you,
Mr. Garver?
I thought you might like
a cup of coffee,
or a bite to eat.
I didn't see you
in the galley earlier.
You must be famished.
No, thank you.
You're very kind.
But I'm not feeling
very well right now.
- [Katherine grunts]
- Oh.
Oh, no matter
how much I travel,
I just never seem
to get the hang of the sea.
[chuckles]
I prefer the train, I'm afraid.
If you don't mind
me asking, ma'am-
What's a nice girl like me
doing in a place
like this?
Well, you are
more pleasant cargo
than what we're used
to having around here,
if I may say so.
- You may.
- [Garver laughs]
[thunder rumbles]
[dark brooding music]
Torpedo in the water!
Starboard side!
[explosion booms]
- Oh, what was that?
- I'm sure it was nothing.
Go back in your cabin
and stay there, please.
Was it an explosion?
- I--
- Oh!
[ship rumbles]
- [siren faintly blares]
- [lever rattles]
Engine room! Engine room!
- Damage report.
- [water splashes]
Let's go,
let's go, let's go!
Let's go, let's go,
come on!
Come on, let's go!
- [steam hisses]
- [Pinnetti] Damn it!
Mr. Quinn, get down
to the engine room.
I need a damage assessment
immediately.
Aye, Captain!
Engine room!
Direct hit!
Torpedo struck us amidship.
We're taking on water.
Passageways three and four
are already flooded.
- We're dead in the water.
- Mr. Pinnetti,
have the stress flares
fired immediately.
- Aye, Captain.
- Mr. Timmons,
see to it
that the radio man
transmits our coordinates
for as long as he can.
Pass the order.
All hands, abandon ship.
Captain.
[dramatic music]
[ship rumbles]
Ms. LaRue! Ma'am!
We gotta get above deck, now!
[tense music]
Come on!
- [bell ringing]
- [tense music continues]
Have you seen anyone else
coming from below?
No!
Get her to the boats.
Yes, sir!
That damn fool's gonna
get himself killed.
- [banging]
- Help!
[workers shouting]
- [intense music]
- [banging]
Hold on!
Open the door! Come on!
Come on!
[intense music continues]
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
[Man] Come on!
[Worker] Let's go, let's go!
[flames whooshing]
[dramatic music]
[fountain splashes]
[church bell ringing]
Henry, you're late.
Be early or be late, Katherine,
but never be on time.
Oh. Free lessons
from the famous spy master,
Henry Tasquer Finn.
[Henry laughs]
How did I ever become
so fortunate?
Next lesson...
if you're known for being
a famous spy master,
you're not being
a very good spy.
Present company excluded.
I heard they threw you
a party, Fraulein.
Talk of the black.
Are you still singing
for the Nazis? Hm?
- I missed you.
- Of course you did.
Well, well.
[Katherine speaks German]
To business.
You are meeting him
tonight, yes?
Yes, at...
[speaks in German]
- ...at the arranged time.
- Change of plans.
I'm meeting him.
You're now the courier.
He doesn't know you.
I'm the one--
It's been decided,
things are getting risky.
I've organized safe passage
for you back to England,
and I'll see you there.
If what you've said is true,
we can't take chances
with that information.
Is that why you haven't
introduced me to your friends?
Keeping us a secret?
I'm not that kind of girl,
you know, Henry.
You keep that
sense of humor, kiddo.
It's a long boat ride.
Until then.
[tense playful music]
You're late.
So glad you could drop in.
Everything's set.
Greta here will be
behind the bar tonight,
in case we need
another set of eyes.
This seems
like an awful lot
for just a simple handoff,
isn't it?
- Yeah.
- Yeah. What gives?
Do you know something
we don't know?
Seems like you're trying to
keep us in the dark on purpose.
Who'd you meet?
He could tell you,
but then he'd have to kill you.
I'm being serious.
You know I love you,
my friend,
but I'm afraid Greta's right.
I would have to kill you.
[Greta and man laughing]
All is well.
[calming piano music]
This table is taken.
Who are you?
[calming piano music continues]
What is this?
A friend of mine told me
to meet you.
Do you have it?
This is not what was arranged.
[tense music]
Relax.
[tense music continues]
[calming piano music]
Papers.
Of course.
[calming piano music continues]
Let me guess.
You're just another
poor fisherman, yeah?
You're a wise man.
Five generations.
Greek.
Drinking with my friend.
Danke.
Have we met?
I don't think so.
I'm very good with faces.
Papers.
[tense music]
- [gun fires]
- [man groans]
- [gun fires]
- [people screaming]
[Henry groans]
- [shotgun fires]
- [man groans]
Give it to me.
Now!
[intense music continues]
Go.
[intense music continues]
Whoa, it's me!
Easy.
Come.
Where's Greta?
Dead.
Well, I hope that
information was worth it.
Tell me you got it.
I did indeed.
You good?
Good enough to keep moving.
Where do we go?
To finish
the mission, old boy.
I could carry it for you.
You could.
[whistle blows]
[men speaking in German]
- [dog faintly barks]
- [whistle blows]
[siren blares]
[tense music]
Major Murphy,
Lieutenant Kendall.
What's this about, Colonel?
S. S. John Knight.
Just sunk.
- Isn't that the boat with--
- Yes, and I don't need
to tell you how vital
the information is
that she was carrying.
Survivors, sir?
No word.
At least, not yet.
But I have every available
asset out there searching.
Do we yet understand
why this intel was so critical?
And why it had to be
handled in person?
Only that it was
too sensitive
to go through
normal channels.
Our agent refused
to provide details,
and then demanded to be
extracted immediately.
Whatever this is, it's big.
Colonel!
We've just decoded
this intercept, sir.
Damn it.
The Nazis just captured
a group of passengers
from the John Knight.
[tense music]
Good evening, Colonel.
[tense music continues]
I need a plan, Major.
Drive on.
[engine revs]
We don't need a plan,
we need a goddamn miracle.
[tense music]
[whispering]
Go, go, go, go, go.
[tense music continues]
[wire bars snapping]
[whispering]
Go, go, go, go, go.
[man grunts]
[dramatic music]
Wake up, wake up!
Come on, go, go!
- [soldier shouts in German]
- [guns firing]
-[leaves crunching]
- [dramatic music continues]
[guns firing]
[dynamite booms]
[man coughs]
[gun clicks]
[tense music]
No... no!
No!
- No!
- [guns firing]
[tense music fades]
Cap, they're just kids.
Yeah.
Yeah, just like the camp.
[sighing]
[Rand speaks in French]
English?
You are from the camp, no?
Oh, thank God,
you speak English.
My French is terrible.
Are you injured, Captain...
Rand.
Captain Timothy Rand.
United States Army Air Corps.
No, it's just a scratch.
I'm Gina.
Sorry about your man, Captain,
but we should go now.
The Germans will have
heard the shots,
and they won't be far behind.
Sergeant...
we should move.
- Sure thing, Cap.
- Let's go.
[Rand groans]
We have a place
not far from here.
It's not much, but it is safe.
We have a radio,
you can get a message out
to your people in England.
[man grunts]
We must move swiftly.
We cannot take your man.
[grunts]
[woman speaks in French]
[knocking]
You know that miracle
you were talking about?
Major Murphy,
Lieutenant Kendall.
This is Major Danforth.
British Intelligence,
Special Branch.
- Sir.
- Nice to meet you.
[Man] Let's get down
to business, Colonel.
At 2330 hours last night,
the S.S. John Knight,
a liberty ship returning
to England, was torpedoed.
Why is this ship so special?
Not the ship, sir.
The passenger, Mrs. LaRue.
Katherine LaRue is
a British agent.
A spy?
And an exceptionally
good one too.
She's had the Jerrys thinking
she's been working for them
since '39,
but she's been one of our
most valuable assets in Europe
since this whole
bloody mess started.
What in Sam Hill was
she doing on that ship?
Traveling discreetly,
with vital intelligence.
Damn it, David.
I hate it when you do that.
Gentlemen, allow me to introduce
my British counterpart,
Colonel David Strangeways
of our force.
Kate LaRue was
following a rumor
about some very nasty stuff
the Germans are cooking up.
Her last transmission was
four days ago.
Now she's gone, and that
information has gone with her.
Maybe not, sir.
We have confirmation that
several of the ship's crew
are currently en route
to a German Dulag in France.
There is a woman with them.
My God, man.
This is a disaster.
The Germans will
most certainly learn
of her true allegiances soon,
if they haven't already.
Best case,
they shoot her as a spy.
Worst case,
they find out all she knows,
then they shoot her as a spy.
Recommendations?
Tell me you have something.
You can't be serious.
Do let us in
on the conversation, Colonel.
Operation Phoenix, sir.
I've never heard of Phoenix.
We take a small, well-armed,
and well-supplied
group of commandos,
and drop them
into enemy territory.
And, once on the ground,
they're going to link up
with local resistance elements.
And then together,
they're going to liberate
and arm Allied soldiers
currently being held
in a German POW camp,
creating a behind-the-lines
diversionary or disruptive
force, if you will,
allowing us the time
to meet our objective.
Or, at least as much time
as they're viable.
Viable? They would be
almost immediately
recaptured or killed. No wonder
I hadn't been informed of this.
- This is madness.
- Just a moment, Major.
You're suggesting a jailbreak
to get our lost bird back, eh?
I must give you Americans
credit for enthusiasm.
But can it even be done?
Danforth?
Well, sir, these
Dulags are all different,
but very well guarded.
However, by their very nature,
there are these
cobbled-together camps
that handle a large influx
of captured troops,
and so they are very near
frontline activity.
Still, it would be suicide
to attempt it, sir.
Well, Major, is he right?
He is correct, sir.
However, we do have
an advantage
that may tip the scales
in our favor.
We've received
radio transmission
from a French resistance
cell near Dulag 4.
Two American airmen have just
escaped that camp.
A Captain Timothy Rand
and Sergeant Edward Happ.
And you think one of these men
would be willing
to go back inside?
I assume you intend
he be recaptured
and carry a message
to the other prisoners?
With a coordinated assault,
from both sides of the fence.
I suppose it could be done.
What if the Germans
just relocate 'em or kill 'em?
Well, the Germans, they always
return recaptured prisoners
to the camp
that they escaped from.
To show the other prisoners
that they didn't succeed.
Dead or alive,
we just don't know which.
Well that's certainly
reassuring, Colonel.
So, who do you have in mind
to lead this mission?
I would, sir.
I developed Phoenix,
and I am intimately aware
of all of its details.
And frankly,
we don't have the time
to bring anyone else
up to speed.
What if neither Captain Rand
nor this Sergeant Happ
volunteer for
your merry enterprise?
Let's say,
I would be persuasive.
You would see to it
this man was recaptured?
I will do what is necessary
to make sure that
this operation is a success.
Wow. You're one cold-hearted
son of a bitch, aren't you?
So, do you have
a contact there?
Not until we're on the ground.
Do you trust
this LaRue person, David?
In this business,
nothing can be certain.
But what choice do I have?
We must know
what she knows.
You understand this is
an American operation, Colonel?
Yes, of course.
But LaRue is one of mine.
I want my men along as well.
[whispering]
...I think it's lunacy.
All right, Major.
Your plan is approved.
Operation Phoenix is a go.
You're all dismissed.
- Major.
- Sir?
[tense music]
If the Germans don't
already know LaRue's value,
they will
in a matter of hours.
This mission must succeed.
We will get her out, sir.
I think what
the General is trying to say,
is that if it looks like
you cannot get her out, Major,
Katherine LaRue must
not be allowed
to return to Germany...
- alive.
- Sir?
[tense music continues]
I understand.
[fire crackles]
So, what did London say?
When are you leaving?
They said to stand by
and await further instruction.
Strange.
We have done this before,
but they never...
Well, I guess we wait.
- Thank you.
- Oh, thank you.
Margot is a bit shy.
[all chuckling]
Thank you.
If I can ask...
What happened to all your men?
They were taken.
Dead, Gina.
They are dead.
[Gina] Arrested.
[Sophia]
Which is as good as dead.
I'm sorry, Captain,
where are my manners?
You know Margot,
and this is Sophia.
And of course,
our little brother Enzo.
Where is Enzo?
Where is Enzo?
Is he at that camp again?
It's not my fault, Gina.
You know how he is.
We must see
what the Germans are up to.
He's keeping an eye--
He's a child, Sophia!
He's the same age you were.
[fire crackles]
I am sorry, Captain.
The Germans have been
hunting us for a long time.
They are good hunters.
We are better.
Look, we are grateful
for all of your help,
but we cannot
put you in danger.
As long as the German patrols
are looking for you,
here is
where you must stay.
There is no other way.
This food's great.
Better than
what the Krauts gave us.
[girls laughing]
So, Captain,
your family in America
must miss you terribly.
Perhaps a wife, children?
Girlfriend, maybe?
No, nothing like that.
Just me and my father.
We had a small farm.
My father, he passed...
shortly before
the war started.
Guess he figured I'd eventually
take the place over,
but I'm not much
of a farmer, so.
I always wanted to fly,
so I joined up.
Gina has always wanted to fly.
Perhaps you could take her up
in your big American plane.
[girls laughing]
What about you, Sergeant?
Would you like
to take me flying sometime?
God, no.
I just drop the bombs,
I hate the flying part.
Did I say something wrong?
[brooding music]
[body thuds]
- Report.
- No sign
of the other two prisoners.
We still have no idea
how they made it to the woods.
Also, it appears
they may have
made contact
with partisans.
They may have made contact?
Double the guard
on the perimeter.
Notify Major Affolter
that we require
his men's assistance in
the search of those prisoners.
- Now!
- Yes, Colonel.
Obviously, your men are
not as vigilant
as they should be, Sergeant.
Place the men who were on duty
last night on report.
Including yourself.
[tense piano music]
[body splashes]
There was an escape attempt
through the wire last night.
Private Lake paid for
this foolishness with his life.
His comrades will soon join him.
There is no escape
from this camp.
Those who try
soon regret the decision.
I trust those of you
contemplating a similar action
should take a moment
to ask Private Lake
his opinion
on your chances.
To facilitate
this important conversation,
his body will stay where it is
for the next 12 hours.
[tense piano music continues]
That is all.
What are we gonna do
about a pilot?
No volunteers? Nobody?
Gotta keep looking.
There's a big Irish sergeant
looking for you, sir.
- Do we know what he wants?
- No.
His name's Lackley.
British Airborne, I believe?
- I bet you that's our pilot.
- [Officer laughs]
No, I don't think so.
Excuse me.
But of course,
General Valtzman.
I will make
every arrangement.
- You can rely on--
- No, Schtein,
you are not to do anything.
Your orders are
simply to detain her
until my men arrive
and escort her to Germany
for questioning.
- [phone slams]
- [tense music piano music]
I wonder what is so important
about this Katerina LaRue.
Sir! Sir!
Lieutenant Ingram. I've been
assigned to your mission.
Any word on my pilot?
No, nobody.
No volunteers.
Keep looking.
Do me a favor.
Make sure everything
and every one is on my plane.
- Do you understand?
- Yes, sir.
Oh, one more thing.
This giant
Irish Sergeant Major
looking for me.
Any word?
This guy?
[lighthearted patriotic music]
[truck door slams]
Sergeant Major Colin Lackley
at your service.
I was sent here
by Colonel Strangeways
to help you Yanks
on your little mission here.
We have a team assembled
at the North Airfield,
and we will leave in one hour.
You already have
a team assembled?
That's a fact.
You're in a hurry, aren't you?
I mean, we're ready to leave.
We just got outta
the briefing a little bit ago.
All right,
see here, gentlemen.
Look, I've been doing this
a very long time.
And judging
by the complete lacking
of any details
in your little mission,
and this amazing
fighting prowess
I see assembled
before me now,
well, you're gonna be
needing my help.
And besides...
orders.
Welcome aboard,
Sergeant Major.
Oh, one more thing.
I'm going to be taking care
of your little pilot problem.
Oh, isn't that wonderful?
Just do me two favors.
Do what I say,
and stay outta my way.
- Just make sure.
- Yes, sir.
Okay? Make sure.
Yes, sir.
[lighthearted
patriotic music continues]
Colin Lackley!
How are you not dead yet?
More importantly...
Eh? Why would you do me
dirty like that?
I thought we were friends.
- Give it to me.
- [Jack snaps]
Come on, give it to me.
There you are.
She's all yours.
Good luck.
You're gonna need it.
The accommodations
were dreadful,
and breakfast was
shabby as well.
Welcome to Operation Phoenix.
[tense music]
[Jack chuckles]
Wait, you're not serious.
I mean...
Whose incredibly
ugly baby is this?
Oh, I thought
you'd never ask.
Sir, I'd like you
to meet our pilot.
Captain Jack Travis,
at your service.
[tense music continues]
You know, he looks worried.
You don't have to be
worried, Major.
Everything's gonna be fine.
Oh, don't look so surprised.
I mean, you didn't believe
all that muck
about a volunteer,
now did you?
Well, look, besides...
you needed a pilot,
he's a pilot.
This man was AWOL,
Sergeant Major.
He was unaccounted for.
Look...
Look.
You've thrown me and the boys
into many a sticky spot,
and he hasn't let us down.
Not once.
I can vouch for him,
he will get us there.
He's just a little...
daft, is all.
See, why'd you have to ruin
all that nice stuff
you just said about me,
by being mean?
You do understand
why you're here, Captain.
- Correct?
- You mean existentially,
- or in the here and now?
- In the here and now.
Well, all right then.
See if I got
your mission summary right.
You're gonna have us
join a flight of bombers,
then we're gonna veer off,
and we're gonna fly to some...
quite possibly
the most horrible place
I could think of
on Earth,
in a rickety, unarmed plane.
Yeah? If we don't get
our butts shot off
by German fighters,
and if he doesn't shoot me,
then you want me to land
on some kind of goat trail
on the side of a mountain,
and nobody's the wiser.
Right?
I think he has it.
Just to put this out here,
this is the most
godawful, worst idea
I ever heard
in my entire life.
And we will most likely
all die in the attempt.
Just to put it out there...
I don't like you, Captain.
But unfortunately,
I don't have the time
to run around
and find the prettiest girl
to take to the dance.
So, are you in?
Or should I call back the MP
and continue my search
for my pilot?
[tense music]
I was just joshing
with you, Major.
Hey, if you want to go
to this godawful place,
who am I to say no?
I'll take you
if you want to go.
This is a terrible idea.
Just terrible.
And you like this asshole?
Eh, more or less.
[door thuds]
- What is it?
- Word from England.
We must hurry if we are
to make our rendezvous.
Am I too late?
What is happening?
We are headed up the mountain
to meet more soldiers.
I will deal with you
later, Enzo.
But for now,
you stay with the Americans.
We will bring back their people.
No, please.
- I wanna go.
- No.
That can't be right.
Did they say anything else?
No, just that
we are to meet them.
All right, well,
we'll go with you,
- let me get the Captain--
- No, it's too risky.
- You stay here.
- Sophia is right.
It is safer for you
to stay here until we return.
[Happ sighs]
And this is
why I quit drinking.
You want one?
- [intense music]
- [plane buzzes]
How long since
we left formation?
Long enough!
We're almost there!
[plane buzzes]
- Fighter!
- [guns firing]
[soldiers groaning]
I don't think we're gonna be
up here for very long,
in a plane with no gun!
Travis!
We got another one
coming up to the left!
Do you see him?
Of course I see him!
He's trying to kill us!
If you're gonna do something,
you better do it now.
We've gotta jump!
All right.
All right, grab a chute,
and let's go.
I'll hold it
as steady as I can.
[dramatic music continues]
This is as close
as I can get you.
[dramatic music continues]
I'll see you on the ground!
[guns firing]
[explosion booms]
Major.
What are you doing here?
We're following a Phoenix.
Be careful.
The talons are sharp.
[Murphy laughs]
Good to see you.
Easy, boys.
She's our connection
with the resistance.
We should go, sir.
There's a patrol coming
any minute now.
Thank you, Sergeant Major.
And we really do
appreciate your assistance.
- We surely do.
- We are glad to see
you made it
in one piece, Major.
But your man is right.
This area has
many German soldiers
still looking
for two escaped prisoners,
and now for you,
and your men.
All right.
Go ahead now.
Did you happen
upon any other survivors?
A pilot?
No.
We saw the plane crash.
My other sister Margot
went to look,
but the Germans were
last seen there too.
Thank you.
Wait!
How many sisters do you have?
Get out!
I thought this mission
was going badly.
[soldier chuckles]
[tense dark music]
My name is
Colonel Wilmer Schtein.
I'm commandant of this camp.
Welcome to Dulag Luft
Number Vier, Ms. LaRue.
This is Captain Wolfe
whose camp
you passed
on the road here.
I was just leaving.
Major Affolter sends
his regards.
Also, he wants me to tell you
that we are going
to expand the search area,
as you requested.
- Heil Hitler.
- Heil Hitler.
Colonel,
if I might have a word.
I must just beg your
indulgence for one moment,
while I tend to the good
Captain's situation.
Captain Andrews.
As you know,
you and your men are
not military combatants,
and so will be afforded
the hospitality of the Reich.
During your brief stay here,
I will see to it
that your wounded
are given
proper medical care.
Where will my men
and I be going?
Norway, Captain.
You and your men will
be sitting out
the rest of this war
in Norway.
An enviable prospect,
given the other possibilities.
Wouldn't you say?
Guard, take the Captain
and his men to barracks one.
And see if you can
find something
for Mrs. LaRue to wear.
I'm sure she would like
to change out of those clothes.
I am afraid we do not
have accommodations
fit for someone
of your breeding.
This is a small camp.
But once you are changed,
I insist
you dine with me tonight.
We can talk more freely then.
I'm most interested
to hear of your exploits,
as are my superiors,
I imagine.
It has been
a long journey, Colonel,
and I'm not sure
I have the energy.
Nonsense. You will
feel much better
once you have eaten.
Really, you're most kind,
but I think
- I would rather go.
- I'm afraid I must insist.
Please, tonight.
As you wish.
[Jack] Lackley!
Crashed again, eh?
Now, you know
that was not my fault.
Don't act like
you're not happy to see me.
Captain Rand.
Major Murphy.
Word in private, please.
- [Murphy whispers]
- [tense music]
What? No, no, no, no. No way!
I just came from there.
Are you outta
your freakin' mind?
I'm not going back
to that place.
I'm not going
to liberate that camp!
Listen, I know
how it sounds.
No, no, there's no way
that you
and a small group of men
are gonna go in there alone.
We're not going
to be alone.
Gina and her people are
gonna assist in the assault.
And then there's you,
and the prisoners.
Oh, the prisoners.
Oh, that'd be a trick,
even if they knew!
Wait, you don't mean...
No, no, no. We're not
your messenger pigeons!
Right now, there's a woman
being held captive in that camp
who has information,
vital information that we need.
That information could
bring an end to this war.
You understand that, correct?
Oh, I saw her arrive today.
She went to see
the Commandant.
- I don't like him.
- You were there?
Did you see where they took her?
Yeah.
Could you draw us a map?
Yeah.
Look, at this point,
you have to understand,
that without
your participation,
this whole thing stands
very little chance
of being successful.
The answer is no.
My orders are
to attack that camp
with or without you
or the prisoners.
Need be, I'd do it
with just Gina and her people.
- And you'd do that?
- Absolutely.
- To them?
- Yes.
[tense music]
[Rand sighs]
- Okay, I'll do it.
- Good.
Gina, will you please show me
to your radio?
I need to report in.
[tense music continues]
Your man's gonna be
big in Germany.
Oh, I'm not with that guy.
I was kidnapped.
I think he's...
I think he's with that guy.
What?
Gina! Gina!
You don't have to do this.
You don't owe them anything.
I'm sorry,
but we should try.
We have to try,
you heard what he said.
This could help
end the war.
He doesn't care about you.
He'd say anything.
And you care about us?
Me?
[soft music]
Well, we better get
some sleep
if we're getting
killed tomorrow.
And don't try and talk me
out of it, okay?
I'm coming with you, sir.
[Rand sighs]
[soft music continues]
Pardon me, ma'am.
I didn't mean to intrude.
No, please, sit.
So, how long have you been
fighting the Germans all alone?
Almost four years now.
And you? How long have you been
fighting the Germans alone?
You are the only
British soldier here, no?
Well, I came with more men,
but, well...
There was that little
business with the plane.
Good lads.
Friends of yours,
these men from the plane?
[Colin chuckles]
Well, my mates, no,
but I was responsible for them.
You know, war.
It's hard enough
without making friends.
I mean, you know what I mean.
All too well.
What about the pilot?
He's not your friend?
[laughs]
Jack?
Hey-- no.
Well...
I guess I've never
really thought about it.
[Colin laughs]
[Sophia sighs]
Lonely life, no?
Yes, ma'am.
That it is.
Do you know what, Sergeant?
I think that
I will be your friend.
[Colin chuckles]
Well, I wouldn't advise it,
but if you're gonna be
hellbent on it...
Well, you're gonna be needing
a lot more of this.
Merci.
[Ingram]
Lackley, get up here!
[Colin groans]
Sir.
Tell 'em.
We're on wireless
with Queens One.
They said that
the Germans have already sent
a detachment out to get LaRue.
When?
1100 hours tomorrow.
I know, it's early.
[Rand sighs]
We'd better get to it then.
Well, send the response,
ready the men.
Yes, sir.
[Rand] I hope to God you know
what the hell you're doing.
Otto, can I ask you
a question?
Not today, Carl.
Come on.
Tell me...
How many German soldiers
does it take
to replace a light bulb?
Fine. How many?
None.
The Fuhrer likes
to keep us in the dark.
- [Carl laughs]
- Did you hide the guns?
I came in using a tarp,
I put 'em right
underneath the barracks.
They doubled the guards.
I can't believe this.
We break outta
this POW camp,
now we're breaking back in
to rescue everybody,
only to get everybody
captured again.
Hey, well, now we'll break
everybody back out again.
You seem nervous.
Did you eat today?
Are you sure about this?
No.
I have another one, brother.
How about this?
Knock, knock.
Come on, Carl.
Stupid joke.
Come on!
Knock, knock.
Who is this?
The Gestapo.
The Gestapo who?
Silence! We're asking
here the questions!
[Carl laughs]
[guns clicking]
- All this was not necessary.
- Not necessary?
For someone of your
refinement and reputation?
Nonsense. When in the company
of a cultured woman
such as yourself,
one must do what one can
to bring civility
to the wild.
[chuckles] Colonel Schtein,
you are too kind.
- [Wilmer chuckles]
- [glasses clinking]
And you are
a most welcome sight here
in the wilderness,
Katerina.
- [Katherine chuckles]
- May I call you Katerina?
[soft piano music]
- [wine splashes]
- Berlin is abuzz
with activity over
your discovery at sea.
Ah.
[cutlery scrapes]
You know...
I was an actor.
Before the war, that is.
- [Katherine speaks in German]
- Yes.
Me, an actor.
Oh! I'm not surprised.
You're so dashing.
You should have
seen me then.
[Wilmer chuckles]
Now I languish here
in this dreary place.
I mention this because...
I too know
what it is to have to
disguise
one's true self to...
[Wilmer speaks in German]
...to play a role.
[soft piano music continues]
This all looks so delicious,
but I'm afraid--
Please do eat something,
Katerina.
I'm told you and I will be
partying ways tomorrow.
Oh! Am I to go
to Norway as well?
Regrettably, no.
You will be escorted
back to Germany.
Under guard, of course.
Himmler himself would
like a word.
I understand
he and General Valtzman
are eager to see you again.
You do remember your old friend,
General Valtzman?
You don't look well.
Can I offer you a drink?
- [Katherine speaks in German]
- [tense piano music]
You know what I find
interesting, Katerina?
Three weeks ago,
a party was held in your honor
at the finest hotel
in Berlin.
And this week,
you were found adrift
in the middle
of the Atlantic
surrounded by the wreckage
of an Allied freighter.
Odd, wouldn't you say?
You know, Colonel, I believe
I've lost my appetite.
[Katherine gasps]
We haven't finished our little
scene together, Katerina.
And after I went to all this
trouble to be a gentleman.
Now tell me,
what were you doing
- on that ship?
- [Katherine gasps]
You're hurting me!
[Wilmer laughs]
I have not yet begun
to hurt you, my dear Katerina.
- [knocking]
- [Wilmer speaks in German]
Colonel.
The escaped prisoners,
they're back.
What do you mean back?
A patrol has just returned.
The American surrendered
a few kilometers from here.
What do we do with them?
Put them in the cooler,
and we'll deal with them
in the morning.
And Sergeant...
[Sergeant] Sir?
Take Mrs. LaRue
back to her room.
She's feeling unwell.
We will continue this line
of inquiry in the morning,
when you have a chance
to rest and think, Katerina.
[soft piano music]
[cutlery scrapes]
[Rand thudding]
Halt!
What are you doing
out of your barracks?
Take it easy, Himmel.
The Geneva Convention
clearly states
that when a prisoner
is recaptured,
before he's placed
in detention,
said prisoner must
be checked for injuries
by the camp doctor,
and his mental health assessed
by the ranking officer.
Is this true?
Of course it's true!
Come on, you know that.
What are you worried about?
That Major Griffin
and I are gonna
bust 'em out or something?
[Doc and Major Griffin laughing]
[Himmel laughs]
You did know that,
didn't you?
Of course I did.
I'm not a fool, you know.
Oh.
Oh, great.
Okay.
Spill.
What are you two
doing back here?
I thought
you had it all figured out!
We did, and we were home free.
The woman
that's inside the camp,
she's a British agent,
so we had to come back.
There's commandos outside
the wire right now,
getting ready
to break her out.
- But they need our help.
- Our help?
What are we supposed to do
from in here?
[Rand whispers]
That's the plan?
I know it sounds crazy, but--
One problem.
Just one problem?
Schtein marched
almost all the men
out of the camp an hour ago,
headed to prisoner trains
near Calais.
There's only a handful of us.
Hardly the army you were
hoping for, I'm afraid.
But that means Schtein
only has a few men left too.
I mean, well,
that'll just have to do.
Yeah, the lunatic who's
in charge of this whole thing,
he wouldn't call it off
if Rommel himself
shows up here
with a column of tigers.
I could ask
the Russians for help.
When this thing starts,
we have to make sure
the Germans do not
get a radio call off.
That is the most
important thing.
Because if they get a radio
call off, we're all dead.
Could be done,
I suppose-- Doc.
Do you think you could get in
to see the mariners as well?
They're the closest
to the radio bunker.
The sailors?
I don't know.
That's a lot
of ground to cross.
If this thing goes sideways,
they'll be cut down like grass.
Look, I don't like it
either, but there it is.
All right, Himmel.
We're finished.
[tense music]
[tense music continues]
[tense music continues]
They're in.
Now, we wait.
[soft music]
[bell tolls]
- Henry!
- Katherine.
I have it.
We have to get you
out of here.
We can still make it
to the boat.
No, no, you can
make it to the boat.
It's important.
People are counting on you.
I'm counting on you.
I'm not leaving you here.
Stop it!
I can't do this without you.
I'm not ready.
Consider this your graduation.
Besides,
that singing thing you do,
it was never going
to work out.
You're horrible.
Take it.
Finish the mission.
[knocking]
There is no more time.
Your transport to Berlin
will be here in a few hours.
Your fate is
nearly set, Katrina.
But I might be able
to keep that pretty head
on your shoulders
a little bit longer.
- [Katherine laughs]
- If you te...
Why are you laughing?
I can assure you,
this is no laughing matter.
[Katherine laughs]
I'm sorry, Colonel Schtein.
I don't mean to laugh.
Really, I don't.
But you are just so...
[Katherine chuckles]
...pathetic.
Do you hear yourself?
You are a nowhere officer
in a nowhere camp.
You could no more protect me
from General Valtzman,
than I could grow wings
and fly out of here.
You just want a ticket
out of this place.
A seat at the big table,
by being the hero
who broke the spy.
Well, I'm not a spy,
Colonel Schtein.
And if I were, I would be
way out of your league,
so I think I will not be...
[Katherine grunts]
Have it your way.
- Take her to the cooler.
- [Katherine coughs]
She no longer has need
for such accommodations.
[Katherine coughs]
[Kemper exhales]
[tense music]
We are ready.
Okay.
Won't be long now.
Sophia... be careful.
You ready? Let's go.
[tense music continues]
No matter what,
the gates must be opened.
Okay.
So you have to be ready
when you get the signal.
Okay.
You don't understand
a word I'm saying, do you?
Okay.
Well, can we count on them?
The sailors? Yeah.
I don't know.
Maybe.
And the Russians?
Hell if I know.
Great.
They want us to kill Germans.
Da.
- Da.
- Da!
Da!
He can't be serious.
He's not serious,
he can't be.
So... So he expects us
to run out there
and get ourselves shot down?
For what?
Huh? For what?
You know for what,
Mr. Monroe.
I'm not talking to you,
old man.
Monroe, that's enough.
That man's your captain.
You see any ships
out here? Huh?
We're not on any ships!
Look where we are!
He's not our captain.
Not anymore.
Forget it, Mr. Pinnetti.
A man in his mindset
will never understand.
Yeah, Mr. Pinnetti.
Forget it.
And go back to fetching.
What are you gonna do?
[Monroe groans]
- He's my captain.
- [Monroe coughs]
You mind your tongue, boy!
You think you the first
to hide on the ship?
You think you the first
to want to change
the world around them?
You're not.
The difference
between me and you is,
I did not join
this ship to hide.
I joined it to stand up.
Maybe they won't let us fight.
Maybe they won't let us
drive a tank or fly a plane.
But by God,
we can stand up.
You so angry
about what you can't do,
you forget about what you can.
Being on that boat meant
nothing to you!
But it's a way
of standing up
and being counted
for fighting.
They can't take that
from me.
You can't take that from me.
Shoot, that man came in here
and asked for our help,
and you just wanna run and hide.
Not me, Mr. Monroe.
When the time comes,
I'm gonna stand up.
The rest of you can do
what you want,
but I'm going out there.
Damn fool, kid.
You are a damn fool.
[wistful organ music]
I think
I made the old man mad.
I would say so.
He hit me.
Can you believe that?
Yeah, I do.
[chuckles]
Look, no one is saying
you have to do this.
Do what you think is right.
[soldier gasps]
- [gun cocks]
- [tense music]
Don't be shy.
Come on, come on, come on,
come on, come on.
Move it, move it,
move it. Come on.
[tense music]
- Colonel!
- What is it?
Sir, I found something
in Mrs. LaRue's room
that I think
you should see.
I do not have time
for this now,
I will deal with it later.
But sir--
Did you hear what I said?
Go, now.
Yes, sir.
[tense music continues]
Come on...
Captain.
Follow me.
[tense music continues]
[soldier groans]
Come on.
Almost there, almost there.
[tense music continues]
Give 'em hell!
- [guns firing]
- [shouting]
[both groaning]
Get 'em!
[soldiers speaking in German]
[guns firing]
[guns firing]
You know, you're gonna
have to fire that
at some point, Jack.
Let's go, move your ass.
You know, there's
sticker bushes and thorns,
and can't walk on the...
you know this why I fly
over this stuff, right?
- [gun fires]
- There you go.
I fired it.
[men shouting]
[guns firing]
[dramatic music]
[explosions booming]
[man yells]
What are you doing?
Kill them!
[dramatic music continues]
Colonel Schtein, I do have
something to tell you.
Be quiet.
[yells, groans]
[guns firing]
[dramatic music continues]
[guns firing]
[soldier groans]
[guns firing]
Stay back and cover me, okay?
Okay?
[man grunts]
[man yells in Russian]

[explosion booms]
[soldier yells]
[gun fires]
[soldier yells]
[groaning]
[soldier grunts]
[gun fires]
[groaning]
I'm sorry, it jammed.
How bad is it, Lieutenant?
It's fine, sir.
[tense piano music]
[man exhales]
[man sobs]
My name is
Colonel Wilmer Schtein.
I am the commander
of this camp.
I demand
that you release me...
[laughs] No, Mr. Schtein.
I am now
in command of this camp,
and I do not take demands
from prisoners.
Lock him up with the rest.
Oh, can't we just
shoot him first?
Bullets are for soldiers,
Sergeant Major.
Not bureaucrats.
All right, come along.
Don't get prissy with me,
you Kraut.
Major.
Tucker's dead.
German radio's been destroyed.
What about German patrols?
None in sight yet.
For now, looks like
we pulled it off.
Mrs. LaRue.
I need to know
what you know, now.
I have intercepted
a communique
to a General Valtzman
at German High Command,
outlining troop requirements
for a shipment of heavy water
from a secret storage facility
to a secure research bunker
in the heart of the Wehrmacht.
Heavy water?
Heavy water can be used
in the development
of a weapon capable of
destruction on a massive scale.
A single bomb could level
an entire city.
- Rubbish.
- I wish it were.
Destroying that shipment
could cripple
Germany's weapons programs
for years to come.
The shipment is
heavily guarded
but will be vulnerable
for a short time,
when it stops here,
at this rail station.
After that, I fear
it may be gone to us forever.
- When is it scheduled to stop?
- Sometime tonight.
Wait.
Why can't we just have London
bomb the hell outta that place?
Because we know
where it's stopping,
but not when, right?
And that is the problem.
We have to be sure.
This has to be done by us.
There's no time
to wait for London.
Hold...
Hold your horses, sirs.
Looks like somebody's got
their thumb in the pie.
Mrs. LaRue's escort,
which arrives in a few hours,
it's-- it's pretty big.
Well, how big?
- [Colin chuckles]
- Too big for us to fight off.
And with the POWs headed
to the prison trains.
- And once they get here.
- And when they arrive,
and no one's here,
they're gonna throw
everything they have at us.
They're gonna have
every bridge, every road,
every footpath covered.
We'll have no way
of getting out to that convoy.
There's a hundred POWs
being marched
in the other direction
toward a troop train.
A train we do have
the manpower to take.
He's right.
Even if we believe her story--
If?
...going after
that convoy is suicide!
But we can save the lives
of those men.
We have to leave now.
Sir, I'm on your side,
but he makes
a really good point.
I mean, why risk
the lives of these men?
This is my mission.
It's my call.
And I say we go
after that convoy.
And you gimme the time
I need, understood?
My men will handle it.
I can't believe
what I'm hearing.
You are some piece
of work, Major.
[lighthearted patriotic music]
Junk.
What do you got there?
Oh, let's see here. Oh.
[laughs] Yeah!
This is what I was looking for.
Do you know
what to do with it?
Of course I do.
You light it.
[laughs]
- Welcome to the team, mate.
- Yeah!
[laughs]
Ah. Let's see here.
I'm gonna need you
to run back to the barn,
contact England, and let 'em
know what we're about to do.
My place is with my sisters.
Margot and I will be fine.
Enzo will stay
and watch the camp.
Gina, just go.
Please.
These woods are crawling
with Germans,
just combing through,
and she needs an escort.
Me? [laughs]
Well, unless you wanna
join us on the raid
of the German convoy
full of--
Ah, ah.
I'd be happy to escort the lady.
Good.
- [Colin laughs]
- And you.
Don't you go dying
on me either,
you big, ugly
Irish tree trunk.
Well, don't go dying yourself,
you drunken Yank.
[Colin laughs]
Keep her safe.
You're in good hands
there, Gina.
Just don't go get
in a plane with him.
He'll crash it.
Mean.
You're mean!
There's no one,
but there's a radio.
Good.
They can't be far.
We'll wait for their return.
You disapprove?
No.
I was hoping you would share.
I knew I liked you.
[Gina chuckles]
So...
you and Rand, huh?
Is it that obvious?
Absolutely.
Wasn't hard to spot.
You must think me
a foolish girl
to fall in love so quickly.
No, not at all.
I myself have done it
two or three dozen times.
[Gina laughs]
Love is a whirlwind.
Whirlwinds are fast.
[Gina chuckles]
We are getting close.
Okay.
Something is wrong.
- Get down.
- [mysterious piano music]
Okay.
That's not good,
I count at least five.
There's at least
two more in the barn.
What are we going to do?
We need that radio.
Okay.
Okay, okay.
Um, I have a plan.
I'm gonna go down there,
and I'm gonna
shoot everybody.
That is not a plan.
You're right, that's crazy.
Um, let's do your plan.
[mysterious
piano music continues]
No? Okay then.
Radio's in the barn,
we need the radio.
Okay, I'm gonna
give you one minute.
Work your way around the back.
When they're busy with me,
slip in
and use the radio, okay?
[tense music]
You are very brave.
Good luck.
Here.
[tense music continues]
You're not very brave.
Travis, you are stupid,
stupid, stupid, stupid.
This is so dumb!
This is crazy.
I'm gonna die.
I'm gonna die.
She kissed me,
but I'm gonna die.
- [gun clicks]
- Okay.
[tense music continues]
[tense music continues]
- [intense music]
- [gun fires]
[soldiers groaning]
[guns firing]
[soldier speaks German]
[gun fires]
- [guns firing]
- [soldier grunts]
[gun clicks]
[tense music]
[man claps]
Impressive, American.
Right up until the very end.
[gun fires]
[text clacking]
Colonel Schtein.
Are you all right?
Yes, thank you,
Major Affolter,
for your assistance
in retaking my camp.
How did this happen, Colonel?
It was a precise
and calculated attack.
American commandos
and resistance.
Nonsense.
What would American commandos
want with this little camp?
They were here
for Katerina LaRue.
- She's an Allied spy.
- [laughs]
Katherine LaRue?
Not possible.
I attended her birthday party
- four weeks ago--
- Will you shut up?
I'm trying to think.
[Wilmer sighs]
But she's no longer
here, correct?
So why leave men behind
to hold the camp?
Why not just...
They needed time.
To make their escape.
No.
Something else.
Wait, what did he find?
What did who find?
Idiot.
Sergeant Kemper.
Give it to me!
The letter, Colonel.
- [papers crumpling]
- [tense music]
What is it?
Assemble your men.
We are going after them.
What about the prisoners?
Deal with them.
There is no time.
[tense music continues]
You are no longer
non-combatants.
You have taken up arms
against the Fatherland.
And I don't see any uniforms.
Therefore, you are spies.
Spies? Hold on
just a minute here.
Forget it, Pinnetti.
He's not listening.
Look at him.
Can't you see that?
Tell me...
where are the commandos,
and how many are there?
Tell me what I want to know,
and I will spare your life,
and the lives of these men.
Don't tell him nothing.
He's just gonna
kill us all anyway.
[tense music continues]
- [Affolter] Fire.
- [Soldier] Fire!
- [guns firing]
- [men groaning]
Traveler, this is Queens One.
Identify yourself, please.
Where's Major Murphy?
Do you have the package?
[Jack] We don't really
have time for this, boys.
We got her out, now Murphy's
going after some convoy.
Map location to follow.
Send help.
Oh, and send a new plane.
Mine is probably still on fire.
Over and out.
Where are they going?
What convoy?
What is it? You know what
he's talking about, Colonel?
It can't be.
- Can it, sir?
- I believe it may be.
A heavy water shipment.
Mrs. LaRue was tracking
rumors of it for some time.
That's the only explanation.
But I thought
we destroyed all of that.
So did we.
But if there is indeed
another supply of the stuff,
the Germans can't get it.
Oh, it'll be heavily guarded.
Oh, they can't possibly
succeed, can they?
Sir, if I had their location,
I could scramble some
paratroopers in from the 17th.
They'd be flying in from--
I don't care from where.
Get them some help
in the air, now.
Yes, sir.
I want to thank you
for my rescue, Major.
You're a valuable asset.
[chuckles]
Just what a girl wants
to hear.
A lot of good men died
trying to bring you back.
Just hope this information
is worth it.
It certainly is.
[sighs]
Ugh.
I look a fright.
[chuckles]
And me here
with all of you handsome men.
- [chuckles]
- This is not a joke, Ms. LaRue.
You do realize that
most of us will probably die
trying to wrap
this thing up.
Major, I have been
thinking about
this operation for months.
Now, see here.
We are a very handsome lot.
And I, for one,
am not going to die today.
Sergeant Happ, I mean...
He's a goner. Look at him.
[Colin chuckles]
You're a real jerk,
you know that?
[Colin chuckles]
All right, look.
Train station's
coming up right here.
- Just pull it over.
- Yes, sir.
[water splashes]
Give it to me straight.
Is there a hole in my jacket?
I'm not concerned
about your jacket right now.
Hey, it stopped it.
Yeah, that only stopped
one of them.
My concern is
the other one right now.
The soldiers!
They took back the camp,
then they killed everyone.
Schtein and his men,
they're going after the Major.
And Captain Rand.
They can't possibly
know where they're going.
They know.
- Okay.
- Okay, okay.
- All right.
- I got it.
- Just one moment.
- Come here, kid.
Help me out.
Is there a hole in this jacket?
- Seriously?
- No.
All right.
Okay, we're good.
I'm good, I'm good.
Let's go kill some Germans.
[tense music]
We're late.
They're already moving.
Most of the soldiers are
already on the train.
Rand's keeping an eye out.
No, they're waiting for night.
You think we'll make
this train undetected?
[Colin chuckles]
Okay.
Take Boomer,
rig as many of the train cars
as you can to blow.
Happ and I are gonna
take care of the troop cars,
and Captain Rand is already
on his way to the depot.
Let's go sideways.
Create as much damage
as you can.
Then we'll meet him there,
understood?
What if you all die?
[Colin laughs]
Well, if that happens...
blow it all up.
Blow it up all day long.
Okay.
Just make damn sure
that we're all dead first, okay?
[tense music]
Sir.
Sir, just looking
at the map, in the train,
the one that
the POWs just got on,
it actually stops
several times,
and we can catch 'em
right here if we just--
- Stop.
- But sir, we can catch it if--
Stop.
You need to forget
about that.
This is our mission.
I need your head
in this game.
- Understand me?
- Yes, sir.
Speedy and Carson are
watching the road right now.
This path is our only way out.
And you need to hold it,
no matter what.
- You understand me?
- Sorry, sir,
I won't let you down.
[tense music continues]
We meet at sundown.
Make sure Captain Rand
comes back safe,
our sister will kill us
if he doesn't.
Okay.
But I know
where he might keep--
I need you to stay here
and watch our back.
Be careful, Major.
[tense music continues]
I feel rather useless now.
I'm checking one more time.
[tense music continues]
[tense music continues]
[men speaking in German]
[tense music continues]
[Speedy] Hey, hey, hey,
easy, it's me, it's me!
Damn it, Speedy!
I almost shot ya.
Save your bullets.
The whole damn German army's
right down the road
on my heels.
[tense music continues]
[soldier yells in German]
- [dramatic music]
- [door thuds]
- [guns firing]
- [soldier screaming]
[guns firing]
Wait! Where the hell
are you going?
Where the hell is she going?
- [gun fires]
- [dramatic music]
Light it,
and get the hell out of here.
[dynamite hisses]
[dramatic music continues]
- [Rand breathes heavily]
- [tense music]
[gun fires]
[gun fires]
[groaning]
[Rand breathes heavily]
[explosions booming]
[guns firing]
Oh, shit!
[dynamite explodes]
[grunts] What the hell
are you doing here?
My job.
What exactly are
you looking for?
Well?
Hey, we gotta go.
What the hell is
she doing here?
Being useful, Major.
You have your mission,
and I have mine.
- [Happ yells excitedly]
- [gun fires]
What the hell is
she doing here?
What's that, Katherine?
If I just...
How far is
Schloss Itter from here?
I have no idea.
Sergeant Happ,
get her out of here!
- Sure thing.
- Come on, we gotta go.
Go, go, go!
[soft dramatic music]
Speedy. Speedy!
- [tense music]
- [guns firing]
[gun fires]
Kill all of them!
But Katerina LaRue is mine.
- [tense music continues]
- [guns firing]
- [gun fires]
- [Ingram groans]
- [gun fires]
- [soldier groans]
[Ingram coughs]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Hey, hey.
- [coughs] No.
No. I guess
I messed up then.
No. You did good, kid.
You did good.
Did... Did we blow 'em up?
Yeah, we did.
[chuckles]
We did.
- So we won?
- Yeah.
- [coughs]
- Stay with me now.
It's not too late to do
the right thing.
It's not.
[Ingram whispers]
A whole squad of Germans
came outta nowhere.
Speedy's dead.
We're surrounded, sir.
Surrounded?
That's impossible.
What do we do?
Come on!
- [guns firing]
- [tense music continues]
Jesus!
That miserable Kraut
from the camp
got the drop on us.
He took LaRue before
we knew what happened.
- Schtein?
- Yeah.
- [guns firing]
- I'm gonna go get her.
I'll keep their heads down
for you, all right?
- All right.
- Go kill that son of a bitch!
All right.
Covering fire!
[guns firing]
[helmet clangs]
- [Murphy yells]
- [gun fires]
- [Wilmer speaks in German]
- [tense music]
At last, we get to finish
our little scene
together, Katerina.
- Colonel!
- [gun fires]
[Katherine grunts]
Drop the gun.
Katherine...
he's not taking you anywhere.
[Wilmer chuckles]
Major.
So glad you could join us.
- My superiors will be--
- Your superiors are gonna be
looking for someone to blame.
And unfortunately,
bringing her in
is not gonna save you
from the firing squad.
[Wilmer laughs]
You're probably right.
They will need
someone to blame.
[gun fires]
Oh, look!
Someone to blame.
[Wilmer cackles]
I may not have
saved the train,
but my superiors will
be satisfied
in executing
General Valtzman for that.
After all,
I wiped out your unit,
and single-handedly
captured this viper.
What she knows should be
enough to save me.
Who knows? They might even
give me a medal.
Face it, Major, it's over.
It's all right, Major.
Let me go,
your mission is over.
[tense music continues]
Wise decision, Major.
It looks like this bureaucrat
is once again in command.
And look where
this she-wolf has led you.
- [Katherine grunts]
- [gun fires]
I could help you
and your men to escape.
You would gain nothing
by killing me.
- Wrong.
- [gun fires]
[tense music fades]
[grunts]
[whispers]
[grunts]
[sighs]
[melancholic piano music]
[truck rumbling]
[tense music]
Major Murphy.
I'm Lieutenant Howard.
The General sends his regards.
[lighthearted music]
Where's this Itter Castle?
How far is it from here?
Sir, sir!
The Germans are regrouping,
I don't know how much longer
we can hold this.
- Pass the word.
- Got it, sir.
The castle,
how far from here?
- Sir, we have to move now.
- I don't care.
The castle.
How long to get there?
It's a few days,
maybe a week.
But sir, it would take
an army to get there.
There is no way.
We found these two
driving up the road
like a bat outta hell.
They said they were with you.
Gina!
[gun clatters]
[soft music]
Oh my God.
Never thought
I'd see you again.
[Gina and Rand chuckling]
Colin.
Big, dumb idiot.
Went and died before me,
didn't you?
What'd you have to go
and do that for?
- [Colin coughs]
- [Jack laughs]
- Oh.
- [lighthearted music]
What are you doing?
I'm wounded here.
[Colin groans]
Hey, we're all wounded.
- Get up, you're fine.
- [Colin groans]
- Come on, you baby.
- [Colin groans]
Oh my God, you're still heavy,
but you're alive.
Here.
Hang onto me.
All right.
You scared me, moron.
[lighthearted music continues]
- We should sit down.
- Oh yeah, let's sit down.
- Yeah, yeah.
- But only for minute.
Just a minute.
[Colin groans]
Watch your step.
- [grunts]
- There you go.
[Colin grunts]
- [Colin coughs]
- [Jack grunts]
[explosions booming]
Hey.
Remember that girl, Gina?
Of course I do.
She kissed me.
No, she didn't.
- No, she--
- She did.
She likes
that handsome captain.
I am the handsome captain.
No.
[chuckles]
No, you're not.
In any event, she did.
She kissed me.
Right after
I shot a dozen Germans,
all by myself.
[laughs]
You're such a liar, Jack.
- [chuckles]
- All right, fine.
- We'll just have to ask her.
- Oh, yeah, we will.
We will.
Has Traveler checked in yet?
Damn it, man!
Out with it.
The shipment was
completely destroyed, sir.
Miraculous.
Casualties were high, General.
But Major Murphy survived,
as did our Sergeant Major.
Are they in the air yet?
I wanna pin a medal
on their chest myself.
Well, no, sir.
They're not coming.
What do you mean,
"No, they're not coming"?
Where in the hell did they go?
There you are, friends.
What?
I can't have friends?
Come on.
On your feet.
The Major says
we're not done yet.
I'm really starting
to not like that guy.
A lot.
