Let's bed down.

Pour all the whiskey he wants and make him pay for it.

Thanks.

fuel dumps scattered all over this area.

There's another group here and another group right here.

There are four others on the western flank and three to the east.

All perfectly camouflaged and all being supplied regularly from a super dump.

Multibomber air raids, I'm afraid, haven't solved the problem.

So we have to destroy the supply center where the rest get their fuel.

Eh?

Without gas?

The Africa Corps is helpless.

Yes, but do we know where the central dump's located?

It's around here.

We're quite certain.

But only one man actually knows the exact position.

An English officer.

An English officer?

Right.

A major, Anthony Briggs.

This was all his idea, and he'll command the operation.

It's essentially a commando attack.

Hmm, but a land approach is impossible.

The area's never been mapped.

The Major lived around here as a child. Claims he knows the zone inside out.

It's up to us to provide him with all the field material he needs.

And the men, too, of course.

Send in Major Briggs.

Gentlemen, Major Briggs.

What happened to your cheek?

Oh, I cut myself shaving, sir.

Nothing bad, eh?

No, no, sir.

Captain Norton will arrange for the supplies you require to make your trip.

Thank you, sir. And what about my ordinance team? It's impossible to get

here quickly enough for this operation.

We have our own demolition experts, and they all know what they have to do.

Oh, I do imagine you're right.

But I trust you'll have no objection if I select the men for the team

personally.

Can you explain why this didn't go off, Casella?

Eh, Casella?

I think I forgot to light it.

Costello!

I'm sorry, Lieutenant.

Try again.

Well?

You gotta stop the stupid clowning. You're a big boy, remember?

Oh, Lieutenant Everhart, I ain't clowning.

All right, keep trying.

Yeah, give me that.

Hey, ain't that the limey major from the Cosby strip joint last night?

Nice.

Yes, sir, when we had to teach a little lesson to the cash bar last night.

Hop to, Billings.

I'd like to speak to you. Yes, sir.

Catch.

I wonder if that old spit and polish has reported everybody. You mean he'd tell

them about how he got those eyes?

We're paying them red, white, and blue for good luck.

Lieutenant Billings, Major Briggs.

I understand we take our orders from the... That's right, Billings.

And this is supposed to be a very important operation? It is.

Don't worry, sir.

The men won't disappoint you.

I presume these are the men.

Unprepossessing lot, all of them, aren't they? But God's on our side. At least I

hope he is.

Gotcha, sir.

I don't like their attitude.

I'm sorry, Major.

Captain. Sir.

Major.

Don't be too harsh, sir, in judging my men.

This hellhole is getting them down.

Who are you?

Sergeant Stanley?

Yes. This is our sergeant, Red Stanley.

Regular army.

Twice decorated for bravery in action.

That one?

Corporal Russell.

Expert in mine laying.

That one?

That's Corporal Blaine. Jack Blaine.

Cutthroat Jack, we call him.

He was a knife throw in the circus before the war.

Start with Barman Bailey.

And that one?

Catella.

Good fella It white

I think I know nearly all of you

Most of you now know the major

he's taking over command of our unit

That reminds me gazella

You've been selected to perform an important mission.

And I chose most of you personally because you've proved that you have

spirit.

You think you're tough, don't you?

Oh, no.

You'll have to be a lot more than just tough to get what I'll take you.

Lieutenant, would you get out the other map?

advancing and that's an order.

Apparently you didn't hear me, Major.

I said there's a minefield. Lieutenant, I heard you quite clearly and I gave you

an order.

Giving orders is easy.

When I have to die, suppose I have to. But I don't think I should be wasting

of the responsibility is mine, Lieutenant.

And I expect you to carry out those orders, do you hear?

But wait a minute, Major. You don't have to do that.

This boy's cuckoo.

God help him.

Hit the dirt!

Kind of fishy here.

Yeah.

It's just a dummy minefield, you see. We laid out quite a number of them to

confuse enemy units.

They all have to stop here, and we drive right through the middle, full speed

ahead.

He's pretty smart, eh?

He's too smart for me.

It's a German unit. Change course.

Yes, yes.

Yes,

yes.

I don't know.

Thank you.

I mean, get on the pizza.

Get your mouth back there.

our vehicles are burned out.

We gave their same treatment.

It's hard notice.

Burial squad.

I'm sorry, Lieutenant Billings. We have no time for such formalities.

Fall into line, everyone.

You heard that order. Everybody fall in. Oh, what?

More Germans may arrive here at any moment, men.

Which means we've no time to waste.

Now, I shall ask all of you, one by one, your shoe size.

Is that clear?

Like meatballs.

Lieutenant Billings?

Lieutenant Billings, sir?

Will you tell me your shoe size, please?

Your shoe size.

Eight and a quarter.

You seven and a half you seven You

eight sir and you

Cut Ella

Ten sir, my family used to make wine follow me

You're to begin walking in that direction keep going straight and don't

back understand

Alone alone, but get going I

Ever get into this man's army anyway

straights Casilla Mama, you're only son. All right, man. Let's go

Those big booted footprints are the only way out and take care that no one

leaves any additional ones

Oh.

footprints over here in the sand.

Just one.

He was most probably a deserter, which means his company went into the other

direction. We are heading north. Follow me and let's go.

Alright man, you can take a breather

You're

getting tired Billings from the look of you you appreciate man our trip has just

begun I Can't keep this up much longer such My dogs are killing me.

There's some consolation in knowing his big dogs are barking just as loud as

ours.

Whereabouts are we headed for, Major?

I'll tell you that at the appropriate time.

Hey, Red.

Yeah, Lieutenant?

Tell the men to prepare to get moving immediately.

Yes, sir, Lieutenant.

It's cold tonight. Keep me awake.

The Major says it's time to be moving.

Huh?

He must be nuts.

He's had a dose of sunstroke. It's affected his brain.

Yeah, I concur with you, Casella.

Doing a word of commission, screwballs.

And I'm juiced, too.

Well, well, well.

Here comes the Panzer unit.

Look they're stopping

They're

blocking our passageway it's quite impossible to proceed unobserved like

we're practically there

Keep going.

Snap to it.

Come on.

You know what to do.

Why did we stop?

What's wrong?

Peter!

It's a big oasis.

About time we took a little breather.

Come on.

Bitch.

You like that?

How the devil do we get into this place? The door is open, brothers.

Padre, as you see.

But what are they doing here?

They had an unfortunate accident with the ambulance.

The tenente here was injured.

They hope to find one of their unit patrol cars.

You're looking for another patrol in this area?

There aren't any others. We have a supply depot very near here.

The patrol is due any moment now. They're in for a surprise.

Take a look inside.

Let's go.

Just who are you?

Tenente Franco Natalini, First Division, Centauro.

And you?

Liesel Seethals.

Deutsche.

Red Cross nurse?

Ja.

And you're the abbot of this monastery?

Oui.

One of you search them.

Nothing We found something sir

Seems

kind of strange a Red Cross nurse a Wounded Italian lieutenant and now this

German captain here.

Yes, and do you notice his feet?

His boots have been removed.

There. There now, Franco. I'm almost through.

Oh.

It's all hopeless now.

All because of you.

That at the driving, you were thinking about her.

Nonsense. It was only an accident.

Obviously, you're on his side.

Loyalty, I take it.

But don't forget there are three of us.

We're in this together.

All the others are dead now.

Well, what do you suggest we do? Must you keep badgering?

That wasn't at all my intention.

But what happens now? We must wait for the opportune moment.

And if it doesn't come?

Then all those deaths have meant nothing at all.

There's one thing we're all sure of. Your boyfriend will be court -martialed

we're found out.

He'll be shot for deserting.

That's enough out of you.

Just be patient for a little.

Thanks for everything, Lisa.

Grazie.

Well, why shouldn't I help you?

What did you do?

But I'm so sorry about the way all this has turned out.

And we're both sorry about the others' love.

Rudy, Ludwig, Erich, Martin.

And to think they died hoping to make a better life for people like us.

We are still alive, don't forget.

The only thing that counts is that they didn't die like

heroes without glory.

We simply must proceed at whatever cost. We have a mission to accomplish and we

dare not fail. Do you understand that, Lieutenant?

Yeah, but, Major, there's only a few of us.

More than sufficient.

And those other three, what about them?

They go with us.

We can't possibly do that.

We haven't got enough food the way things are.

Would you rather they announced our whereabouts to the enemy, Lieutenant?

Merciful Savior, receive the souls of these, your poor servants, and grant

everlasting peace in thine eternal grace.

Requiescant in pace.

Amen.

I say pace.

Huh? Pace and amen.

At the end of the service.

Can't you please convince the major not to take us with you? He wouldn't even

listen. Yes, but what's the point?

And you see, Franco still isn't very strong.

Sorry, only an order is an order.

I have to do what the major says.

What did he say?

Impossible.

Well, come on then.

Get a move on there.

But I can't possibly abandon the monastery now.

There's nothing to it, Padre.

Or as hell.

Easy paisa you can lean on me.

I'm Italian too Thanks

You're

lucky you live in the United States

Lieutenant. Thanks.

Major.

Righto.

There you go, Fraulein, doctor. I'm sorry, it's American.

That's for your boyfriend.

Five -three.

Thank you.

All right, I finally made it.

Not bad.

Like Myers made.

Take cover, German patrol.

We'd better leave them alone if they don't spot us.

One squeak out of you and you've had it.

Hey,

give me that you slob just no etiquette, come on move yourself

When he comes back, he'll know that there was someone here. Now let's go.

Don't worry. I'll fix it.

Costello, come on.

Some things you can't rush, Lieutenant.

Mensch, diese Hitze.

Ich habe es wirklich satt hier. Ja.

Ich habe Durst.

Und bin auch böse.

Hey, wo ist denn der Karl?

Komm mal, was er da unten macht. Hey, komm, komm, komm.

Ich habe Durst, Mensch. Oh, na, hört, gib mal her.

Ja, komm, gib mal her.

Was?

Hey.

Gib mal her.

Das ist ja scheiße hier.

Was trinkst du denn da?

Dreck.

It's ridiculous to go on our water supplies almost finished and you keep

in it

That's my share, and how I use it is my business, Billings. We have obligations

to fulfill, Lieutenant.

We shall continue our advance, and I shall shave my beard.

You get it, ass, like all the English.

You Americans are all alike. You tend to behave like a lot of amateurs. You

fight a war like a game or hobby, and pull out when you think the going has

become rugged.

We fight as professionals, and we carry on to the bitter end despite the odds.

Yeah, we haven't got much further to go, then, because at this rate, we're all

going to be dead quite soon, if that's what you want.

I'm tired of all these complaints.

I hold a command here.

Just do as you're told.

You're out of your mind.

You want to risk the lives of my men. Only I don't intend to permit it, Major

Brig.

Want some murder at all?

Y 'all don't worry. I'm going to get him first. You'll see.

Sure you are.

You're always going to get somebody, ain't you?

I can't keep this up.

It's hard, but Franco, you've got to. It's hopeless, Liesl. It's impossible.

It's all because of you we're in this situation.

Damn you anyway.

Please look there. The rock bridge is there. Look. Shut up, you idiot.

Quiet.

You're hurting him. Don't grasp him so tightly. Let go. You're hurting him.

What's going on? Nothing. He's very ill.

His temperature's rising. He's getting delirious. It's all right, though. He'll

get over it. I'll give him some sedation right away. Why don't we tell the

truth? We'll never be able to do it alone.

What's the use of pretending? Let everyone share the gold. Look.

There. There.

Look, the rock bridge.

The rock bridge. There it is. There it is. Don't pay any attention to him. He's

sick. It's the rock bridge. Damn it. It's the rock bridge.

It's the rock bridge. Let him go.

It's on papyrus.

The tomb of King Magus of the Ptolemies is right here.

And over there is the rock bridge.

Let's see that.

Papyrus. Don't tell me you can read this.

And it's writing as ancient Egyptian. Si, si.

They tell exactly how to get to the tomb of the Pharaohs. The tomb's full of

treasure. Millions and millions of dollars worth of gold.

Dollari. Dollari per tutti.

We've had quite enough of this rubbish, I think.

Where'd you find it prepare to break camp at the monastery? I found it hidden

among a lot of old paper Is it authentic no question about it? Yeah, all we have

to do is follow the instructions and the treasure is all ours We're moving on if

we find the treasure together. We'll divide it with all of you in equal

I Said we're moving on Hold on major

I'm giving the orders and you'll follow them. Are you sure that?

Don't force me to use this if you value your life.

Get going!

All right,

from now on, I assure you, Major.

Lieutenant, are you quite out of your mind?

You are running the risk of a court -martial.

You take it easy, old buddy. It ain't serious.

Only there's no more disinfectant.

Listen here, you're the one who ought to be court -martialed, Major.

Better toss out your book of rules, man.

You've lost all sense of values.

You're going to pay for this outrage.

Only time will tell.

Do you remember the mission we're here to perform?

Sure I do.

And I promise you that it'll be completed.

But it'll be the both of us from now on. Come on now. That rock bridge should be

explored.

See, that's strange.

Your arm's cured already.

Oh, the power of gold can work miracles. It can cure everything.

Come on.

Hey, Amici, this is the way, all right? Over here.

Hey!

Major Briggs! Carl!

Costello! Jack!

Liza! Liza!

Look! The rock bridge!

That's the direction we have to go in Come on

If

you don't mind my asking Padre just out of curiosity, how do you happen to

understand hieroglyphics so well made official study of the ancient

in the monastery Last this must be the pile of rocks exactly where the map

indicated them.

I suspect there's something very fishy here It's going far too smoothly.

Have a seat.

Can you make it?

I'm feeling pretty bad, buddy.

The direction we take from these rocks is northwest.

Anjamo, I'm all right.

Hey! Hey, let's get moving.

You can do it, Red.

Yeah, sure.

I can do anything.

Stiff upper lip.

It's impossible.

This damn leg of mine is swollen all to hell.

I'm sorry, Lieutenant.

Never mind.

We're stopping for a breather.

It's pretty bad and it's not improving either.

Next thing, you'll tell me you want to cut it off.

Yes, that might be necessary.

No.

Freeze!

They have to cut off my life!

No one's going to cut off your leg. Come on.

Don't touch me.

Leave me alone.

Sergeant, it's going to be all right. You don't expect they're going to leave

you behind.

Beat it, I tell you.

Beat it!

Ah, come on, Sergeant.

You're tough on the billy, go rad.

Don't try getting closer.

I'm staying here and a French priest can pray for me.

Well, clear off all of you and leave me alone.

Move, Lieutenant, and you too, Lily Marlene.

Look to.

I'm giving you one more warning.

After that, I fire.

Clear out of here.

Right now.

Just try me. I'll kill all of you if you won't leave me here alone. I'll kill

every one of you.

That's the last of the water. If this is some kind of a trick, you'll be sorry.

No, it's all true, I swear.

Look over there.

The third line of rocks.

We're almost there.

What did I tell you, Lieutenant?

It's three days now since we began following this trail.

Don't worry, we're almost there.

The pillows are three miles away from here.

And near the pillows, the entrance to their tomb.

You're kidding.

Armored cars!

Down! Get down!

Those are ours.

They're British.

Hey! Get your ass back here!

Hey!

They're ours!

Don't open it.

You killed a shark! Let go!

Beat it.

One can't always be a viewer.

Isn't it better to hunt for gold than to fight and kill?

You won't listen to a woman.

You're due for a sad delusion.

If you expect to find any gold, the army's the only life I know.

And I believe everyone ought to comply with its methods.

Sticking to the rules isn't easy.

There aren't any pillars.

So it was a trick.

There's nothing here.

Or anywhere else around here.

The map left no possibility of error.

So far it's been accurate every time.

It said we'd find the pillars near here.

Maybe the term I said them.

I can't believe it.

Perhaps we misunderstood.

Don't give me that bull kid.

You've got it coming.

Hey, wait.

There's something here.

Hey, here they are.

Come on.

The map was right.

You see, it was right.

I got it.

Come on.

Let's get this sand cleared away.

The entrance is over here.

Come on.

Okay.

Hey, look, everybody.

Here it is.

Here it is.

There's a stone blocking the entrance.

Sella, bring the dynamite.

Yes, sir.

All right, everybody. Keep down.

On the papyrus, it says there are torches down here.

Look, this one.

Here's another torch.

Holy cow.

Make a bulldog hug a hound.

Oh, fantastic.

Jesus Christ.

Mamma mia.

Wait till I tell Kenny. Here I come.

The treasure of the fells.

That was great.

Carl,

you were right. I'm sorry.

See you, Lieutenant.

Hey, let's have a look at what's in the next room.

It seemed important to find the gold.

I guess maybe we're out of our senses, darling. It doesn't make the slightest

difference.

I can't stand it here.

The air is filled with evil.

You're right.

There's a strange sensation.

I can't explain it.

But it's true.

I can feel something like an evil presence if you ask me.

Lousy African tombs. Where's your condition?

Help yourself to some of the gold but remember it's impossible to pack all of

it. Come on Come on get

a move on we're out of here the better

I'm a priest, aren't you?

Show a little respect for your calling. I'm afraid you were all fooled by what

the captain's wearing.

Captain? A padre who skimped the funeral and robbed the pair of boots is no

padre. Then it was you who killed the real one.

And made off with the papyrus.

Of course it was.

Wouldn't you have killed him too?

But his death has made all of us very rich.

And you're all going to profit as much as we are. And he wasn't alone.

Have you forgotten all the others?

Have you finished your sermon, Captain Carl?

Yes! I also had enough of you and your God!

Just like in those John Wayne movies.

No sign of water.

No need for alarm, Lieutenant Billings. We're almost there.

You see, I'm quite familiar with all this part of the desert.

Hope you are because I'm afraid I can't hold out much longer

When

we

return to base exactly what are you gonna say everything

What are we looking for a place to stop

You're

very tired

Hey, get down.

We've reached our objective.

Well, there she is.

I must say.

Yeah, quite a place.

So this was your plan, to reach here with the explosive.

I've got to hand it to you.

I already told you, I shall obey orders as long as I stay a soldier, old boy.

You must be nuts.

You little tin heroes.

I'm getting out of here.

No, Steve.

Wait.

Wait.

I might succeed in this alone, but the chances are very slight.

If you help me, I know we can do it.

Do you understand, Steve?

It's perfectly clear.

We won't both survive this one.

But the sea lies to the north.

Yeah, so?

A submarine has been stationed there with instructions to pick up our party.

You'll be able to reach it with that girl.

Major.

Thanks, Steve.

Was ist los?

Er ist verwundert.

Kommandant Schmidt, bitte.

Jawohl, sofort.

Danke.

What's going on?

I don't know.

Enemy attack!

Quick, quick, to the bunker!

This way!

Americans are professionals too.

It's ready.

See, will you get out of here now?

Major.

Will you get out of here?

Get out, I said!

Look out! Steve! Silence!
