Where's Lieutenant Hanley?

Inside Captain.

You were on that patrol
at Hill 500.

Yes Sir.

Lieutenant.

I'm sorry about
what happened.

Smith and Murphy
bought it.

Caje, Littlejohn wounded.
Saunders got a bad ankle.

Relax, Kirby.

How'd it happen?

(takes deep breath)

We were coming back from spotting
the OP. We got caught in a crossfire.

But you got through their
perimeter defenses?

Sure.

Sure we did Captain.

That means you could
do it again.

They start moving a full Division across
the valley at 0400. Now that observation
post has to be knocked out, blown up.

You have any idea what that
OP is like Captain Jampel?

That OP used to be a wine cellar.
A bombed out chateau.

It's cradled in the
top of Hill 500.

Carved out of rock.

Solid rock.

There's no such thing.

This is Corporal Velasquez.
He's a demolition expert.

The wine cellar has solid
rock walls, 10 feet thick.

Lieutenant, there's no such
thing as truly solid rock.

Every rock formation has a seam.
All you have to do is find the seam,

tag it with the right charge,
and the mountain top falls in.

The observation post
becomes a tomb.

That easy huh.

The corporal's a specialist on rocks.
He knows all about them.

All he needs is somebody
to get him there.

Alright.

Good. Take some men from
one of the other squads.

No, we had too many last time.
That's how the krauts spotted us.

I just need uh,

Kirby and me.

And the expert.

Well, I'm ready whenever
you want.

Notes and all.

You have an interesting face
Lieutenant. For granite, but
not for marble.

Aired April 13, 1965

I thought I told you to
keep up with us.

-Isn't she beautiful.
-What?

Who or what beautiful?

The Madonna of the Sorrows.

Alright. We're nearing the
perimeter. Take a break.

Hey. What are you telling me.
This thing is just a rock, that's all.

I don't suppose you've
heard of David Epstein.

David Epstein.
What outfit is he with?

He's a sculptor Kirby.

That's right Lieutenant.

That ain't all Lieutenant.

Epstein says that the beauty
of the figure is inside the stones.

All the artist does is chip away
the excess that conceals it.

Hey. you on the same
act as this guy Epstein.

No, a sculptor,
I wish I were.

Me and my father, we have have
a monument lot near a
quarry in Albuquerque.

Oh. You make the
monument things huh.

Yeah, monuments,
tombstones, markers.

I do the angels and cupids.
You know, you've seen them around.

No kidding.

Yeah, not very good though.
It's strictly commercial.

My father gave me the job because
I could swing a 50 pound hammer
with either hand.

-Or both.
-Huh huh huh.

Come on.
On your feet.

Velasquez.

We're in enemy territory.

Well, I was just doing
a sketch, Lieutenant.

Well we didn't come
out to sketch.

You want to live long enough to do
your job, keep your eyes open.

They'll walk right into us.

No. We'll have to take 'em.

What do you want
me to do?

Stay put.

Kirby.
Take the one on the right.

Now Corporal.
About 2500 yards straight ahead

is the remains of an aquaduct
at the foot of Hill 500.
That's where we're headed.

You keep your mind on this mission,
and we may get there faster.

This is what I was sketching back
there on the trail awhile ago
Lieutenant, Hill 500.

The observation post, everything
like you described it.

Now I'm anxious to find out how
good your powers of observation are.

Well, it's clean on this end. Your
powers of observation are excellent.

It looks just like the picture
you drew. Exactly.

Take a look through these.

Well. What do you think?

It's a crime.

That's all that's left of
the Chalet du Mont.

Used to be one of the finest
private museums in Europe.

It had things like Michelangelo,
Da Vinci, and Bernardo.

Priceless beautiful things.

I wonder what became of it.

Cut the art lectures.
We're here to do a job.

Sargenton.

I want you to keep your mind
on your job so you know
what you're up against.

Now right there under
the ruins is the OP.

You can't storm it from this side because
it's made of concrete and steel facing.

And that slip in the front.

They can cover the entire valley
with artillery glasses.

Now look off to the right.
See a two-man listening post?

Yeah, I see it.

Now go off to the left.

It's another one.

I got it.

You still think you can blow
up that observation post?

Probably stratified marble
and sandstone.

With a tension point
just under the peak.

Meaning what?

You see Lieutenant, millions of
years ago all this terrain was flat.

Then pressures inside the earth,
possibly volcanic, lifted it up like this.

And right now there are
millions of tons of rock

that rest against each other

just about where my
middle fingers touch.

If you place a charge
about right here

In the proper fissure or a crack

it'll alter the balance
and collapse the peak.

All we have to do is get up
there to set the charge.

Yeah, that's a problem alright.

I understand you've
been up there.

Yeah.

Well did you notice
any fissures or cracks?

Yeah, there were quite
a few of them.

Good.

Maybe one of them could
lead us to a seam.

How would you know
which one though?

Then I'll show you that after
we get up there. After dark.

So far, so good.

Now keep low.
And keep quiet.

They're not taking
any chances.

Who knows how many
more there are further on.

What do we do?

Cute, ain't they.

We'll try and dig under it.

Nacht gut.

Hast du Zigaretten?

You're sitting on it Lieutenant.

(cans rattle, alerting Germans)

-Ja?
-Etwas traf die Dosen.

Eine leuchtkugel.

Schie�e eins aus. Schnell.

Cut it. Cut it.

(cans rattle noisily)

(German)

Feuern Sie eine a Runde.

Let's get outta here.

Nochmal.

Hans, komm hier.

-Was das?
-In die shrub,
fiend ecaped.

That tears it.

Now we'll never
get near it.

Why not?

They've set up a machine gun
to cover the area where you
put your charge.

Oh. What do we
do now Lieutenant?

We wait 'till things settle
down. Then pull out.

Tomorrow ten thousand
men cross that gully.

Lambs to the slaughter.

It was nobody's fault.

It's my fault.

(Thump)
(A flare is sent up)

Lieutenant.

If you were those krauts, would you
expect whoever set that charge
to come back again?

What do you got in mind.

Let's do what they
don't expect.

Surprise them. Go back up there
again and knock out that
machine gun.

Forget it. Just because we blew the
mission we don't have to
get ourselves killed.

Look. You can't set the charge
without killing the guys on the gun.

Once you do that
they give the alarm.

The mission's over.
Finished. Busted.

You can't leave here knowing
what's gonna happen out
there tomorrow?

Aw, if we follow what you want to do,
there'll just be three more corpses,
that's all.

And I said forget it.

Lieutenant. There is a way.
Let me have your glasses.

Let me have your glasses.

Sure. That's why it's there.
To hide it.

To hide what?

Here. Look for yourself.
Look at that hedge up there.

You get it Lieutenant. It was
put there to hide something.

To hide what?

An underground vault
or chamber. That's what.

Many of these chateaus
in Europe had them.

They used them to store valuables
when things got rough.

They date all the way back
to the French Revolution.

What makes you think there's
an underground vault up there?

These rocks, look at them.
They come from another strata.

What I mean is

They come from underneath
that rock formation up there.

Now Lieutenant, I didn't go to OCS.
I don't know anything about tactics
or strategy or anything like that.

And I'm not very much of a soldier,
but I do know rocks.

These rocks came from
a vault up there.

Now I'm willing to lay my life
on the line to prove it.

The answer's no.

-Lieutenant.
-What if we get up there and
there is no underground vault.

Listen, Lieutenant.

Look at these rocks.

They look the same,
don't they?

But they're not the same.

One came from the rock formation
up there and the other one came
out of the vault.

Here, take them.
Take them.

Now. If I was to tell you that
this one would break if you
clash them together.

Would that prove
anything to you?

Go ahead, knock them together.
This one will break.

(Crack)

-Okay, you win.
-You'll let me go up.

No.

We'll go up.

And Velasquez.

You better be right.

Holy cow.
We're right under the OP.

I found it.

How much time will you
need to set the charge?

About 5 or 6 minutes.

We'll need some matches.

No.

Are they set?

No.

What do you mean, no.

I couldn't do it.

What do you mean
you couldn't do it?

The passage is blocked by a
cave in. I just couldn't do it.

Those guys tomorrow morning
are really gonna get it.

Lieutenant. When we get back,
just tell them the whole
thing is hopeless.

That they got to
call off the attack.

They can't call it off.
It's too late.

They gotta go
through with it.

Look uh,

Maybe we can get a hole, and I
can crawl through and you
can hand me the stuff.

No.

Let's go back to that
crevice again.

They put up a machine gun nest
to guard the place, remember?

There's got to be a way to
get through that cave in.

-I'll check it.
-No, no, no.

Come on.

Madonna's mother and child,
Lieutenant. It's priceless.

An entire division comes head-on
for this place at 0400.

One of the world's treasures.

And an OP is gonna be staring
right down their throats.

A man with a god given gift
created that statue Lieutenant.

And we don't have the right.
We just don't have the right.

Right!

We don't have the right to
let 5,000 men be slaughtered.

And that's just what's gonna
happen if you don't blow that OP.

It's like asking me to commit
murder to blow up that statue.

Compared to 5,000 lives that
statue is just a piece of stone.

It's a piece of immortal heritage.
That's what it is Lieutenant.

There's gotta be another
way to save those men.

But not this way.

Lieutenant. I just can't
make my hands do it.

I can't.

I'll deal with you later.

Alright, hand me
the stuff.

Let me have it!

(Machine gun fire erupts)

What's happening Lieutenant?

Velasquez.
Getting himself killed.

They're raking the hill,
just to make sure.

That Velasquez
must be nuts.

Thinking he can take that thing
up there with a machine gun
in his way.

He couldn't blow the statue.

Hey, hey. There he is.

Cover me.

Aah.

How is he Lieutenant?

(Thump)

We gotta get out
of here Lieutenant.

I'm gonna blow
that vault first.

When the flare dies,
we'll go back to the wall.

All for nothing.

He cares more about those statues
than he does those guys coming
through tomorrow.

What do we do?

We wait 'till things settle down.
Then head for home.

Thump
Hssss

Forgive me.

He did it.

He had to.

Come on.
