(Cannon shells are heard
whizzing by overhead)

(Machine gun firing)

He's alright there now.

Yes Sir.

Queen six, This is King 2.
I can give you the Lieutenant right now.

Lieutenant, it's captain Power.
He's been trying to
get you all morning Sir.

Yes Sir.

Yes Sir, right away.

What's up, Lieutenant.

Italians pulling back to Averanche.

That's a shame.

It is for us, we stay.

We stay?

We're the rear guard. They need
eyes to cover the withdrawal.

Have they checked lately.
We're just about blind.

You get a replacement today.

Replacement, eh. One?

One.

Don't they know that we're under
strength in this Company Sir.

Take your ticket to the chaplain,
Sergeant. He'll punch it for you.

By the way, the replacement is
a B.A.R man, your squad gets him.

He'll take Grady Long's place.

He will?

Delaney?

Yes Sir.

End of the line.

Yes Sir.

You'll find 2nd platoon,
K company, right over there.

Thank you Sir.

Good luck.

Yes Sir.

You too Sir.

Let's go.

(Hanley's voice, giving instructions)

Move back along the main road,
as far as the branch.

Group there and wait.

Not before dark, won't get
100 yards before they spot us.

That's the whole idea.

According to intelligence there's
a concentration of enemy armor
here in the area of Leiya.

They haven't committed
themselves as yet.

Until they do, Regiment doesn't
dare move forward one more mile.

What good is pulling out gonna do.

3rd battalion is right here
in the center of the line.

They fall back,
the Germans are more than likely
to throw tanks in to fill the gap

Tanks from here, at Leiya.

Where does that leave us.

In a position to judge
the strength of the armor we're
up against, and direct artillery fire.

And get our heads blown off.

There's always that.

You move your squad to
the north end of town,
in the clock tower.

I want two men on watch
at all times, day and night.

Heavy battalion moves out.
You keep off the street and be
careful to stay away from windows.

This town has to play dead.

That's the only way
we can draw them out.

I'll join you before morning
Any questions.

No, no questions.

Good luck, Sergeant.

Who are you.

Private Delaney, Sir.

Delaney.

Yes Sir, replacement from Aberanche.

This is the 2nd platoon,
K-company isn't it.

What's left of it.

Nice to have you
with us, Delaney.

Thank you Sir.

Can't say too much
for your timing, though.

What the Lieutenant means
is that they're about to put us
between a rock and a hard place.

Why don't you write
your congressman, Sergeant.

They drafted him.

Saunders, You might as
well go with him Delaney.
You'll be assigned to his squad.

Yes Sir.

Lieutenant, under the circumstances,

You'll need every man you can get.

Yes Sir.

What did you say your name was again.

Delaney.

I understand you're a B.A.R. man
Is that right.

That was my primary
weapon in basic training.

But being a cook's helper,
I never did..

You were a cook's helper?

Up until now.

Follow me, Delaney.

(Kirby making imitation gun noises)

Hey watch what you're
doing with that thing, Kirby.

You want to kill somebody, Kirby.

Krauts, just krauts,
old buddy. That's all.

That's what I call a gun.

That's what you're
supposed to call a rifle.

Don't you remember anything they
taught you in basic training Kirby.

Look, I'm alive, ain't I.
Must have picked up one or
two things along the way, right.

Yeah, like digging your hole
deeper than anyone else. Always
volunteering to be the getaway man.

You kill me Littlejohn.

It's crossed my mind.

I never saw anything so pretty.

A man could really chop
something up with this baby.

Just think how long I been
trying to get my hands on it.

You figure the Sergeant's
going to give it to you.

He hasn't said,
one way or the other.

Matter of fact, he hasn't said much
of anything ever since Grady got it.

They were close.

Yeah.

Well.

If Grady was alive and you was
to ask him something, he'd tell you.

Tell us what.

That I'm the one who
oughta take over his gun.

I don't know how many times
I cleaned it for him.

I can field strip this thing
with my eyes closed.

That's a fact. A man gets
the feeling for a weapon.

He gets to know it.
He gets the balance, the trigger pull.

You know exactly what
you can expect from it in a bind.

Kirby..

Huh.

Don't you ever think of anything else
except shooting and killing.

That's what we're here for, ain't it.

Well, ain't it.

Yeah.

But we don't have to be
all the time saying it out in words.

Littlejohn.

Hey Littlejohn.

Yeah.

You seen my helmet.

I can't find it anywhere.

Was it all beat up and black
with the chinstraps burned off.

Yeah that's it.

Hey, that's it
What are ya doing.

Well, what does it look
like I'm doing Billy, boiling water.

Yeah, but..

You can't expect us
to cook a chicken dry.

A chicken.

Braddock spotted some
tracks out behind the barn.

He went stalking off after them.

I told him they're probably
big pigeons, but he said.

Hey Littlejohn
Look.

Watch it, Braddock. Watch it.

Ha Ha Ha Hold on to it.

Don't let it get away boy.

Boy, Braddock, I swear you're a hunter.

A born hunter.

That's nothing.

How's the water coming.

Ready in a minute.

Good.

Good.

Look, why do you always have
to cook in my helmet, Braddock.

No use burning more
chinstraps than we have to.

Right Kirby.

Right, that's right.

Yeah but I...

Look, Billy. You volunteered
your hat to cook coffee in, right.

Coffee, then it was eggs,
now it's chicken.

What if there was an air raid or something
I could get a hole knocked in my skull.

Don't you think of anybody but yourself.

That red hen's the first fresh meat
this squads seen in 2 months, boy.

And you begrudge us cooking her.

Well..

Look kid, go get a knife
and cut her head off.

You want me to kill her?

We can't eat her alive, can we.

I, I couldn't kill a chicken.

Sometimes, Billy, I don't understand you.

Up and at em.

Saddle up.

What gives, sarge.

We're moving.

Where to.

You'll find out.

I want a column facing me.
Come on, Hurry up.
We haven't got all day.

Put that fire out.

Ouch, you see what I mean.

What do I do with this chicken sarge.

That's your problem.

Alright come on now settle down.

This is Delaney, a new man.
He's gonna be with us.

This is Caje.

Hi.

Hi.

The one with the chicken's Braddock.

Littlejohn.

Hi.

Howdy.

Nelson.

Kirby.

Hi.

Kirby.

Yo.

Catch up Grady's rifle.

Give it to him.

I was Grady's ammo carrier, I figured that....

I said give it to him.

Fall back Kirby.

Nelson.

Yes Sir.

Carry Delaney's ammo.

Yes Sir.

Fall back in the rear, Delaney.

Alright, straighten out.

Hey sarge, where they going?

Averanches.

Knock it off.

We stay.

Right step,hard!

(rain, lightning, thunder)

It's a stinking situation.

Like the Sergeant said
somebody's got to size
up that German armor.

Hah, I'm not talking about that
I'm talking about giving that
new man Grady's gun.

You know what he was
fore we got him don't ya.

A cook's helper, a stinkin'
cook's helper, that's what he was.

Where does he get off
thinkin' he'd take Grady's place.

Boy, people forget awful easy.
Sure can forget ya.

You think the Sergeant's
gonna forget Grady Long.

He already has, if you ask me.

Nobody asked you, Kirby.

Put you up here to use
your eyes, not your mouth.

Got some things need saying.

Like why I didn't
give you Grady's gun.

That's one of them.

It's a long story.

Tell it.

You wouldn't like it, Kirby.

I'm not man enough.
Is that what you're saying.

Yeah, that's it.

I'm every bit as good as that cook.
I'm not gonna be brought down.

And tomorrow you'd be marching
off to the north like I told you,
not standing here shooting off your mouth.

You two get downstairs.
Send up Braddock and Littlejohn.

Look sarge, I didn't mean.

Do like I tell ya.

Sergeant.

Coffee.

I thought I gave orders
there's not to be any cook fires.

I kept it low just for coffee
figured the other guys could use it
having to stay up the night and watch.

You're not in the
kitchen anymore, Delaney.

Yeah, that's what the other guy said.

Delaney.

Takes awhile for a squad to get
used to a new man, now, come on up.

Yeah, sure.

We had a young fella come into our
kitchen back at Fort Bragg, hadn't been
out of basic training but a week or two and,

Right off, the mess Sergeant
put him in charge of
canned goods and vegetables.

You know, a new man
usually starts off at the bottom.

Cleaning stoves, dry skillets,
hauling out garbage and low jobs like that.

Well, we didn't take
very kind to that fella.

You know, starting out
right near the top.

Canned goods and vegetables
is just one step away from
setting tables and serving officers mess.

Sure gave that guy a rough time.

We got to know him,
where he came from,
went to school, things like that.

Turned out he wasn't
half bad after all.

Wasn't his fault they gave him
an important job right off.

Like I've given you.

The squad depends on the B.A.R. man.

First one they look to
when they get in trouble.

And you don't think you can handle it.

I'm a cook's helper, Sergeant.

One day I hope to be as
good as the others, maybe better.

Till that time, I'd count it a favor
if you took that gun away from me
and gave it to Kirby or one of the others.

According to your record you're qualified
to handle a Browning automatic rifle.

How can I be. I've been
stuck in a kitchen for 2 years.

It'll all come back to you.

In the mean time...

In the meantime you
just do as I tell you.

Braddock, what do you think
you're doing with that chicken.

I'd eat it but you
won't let us build a fire.

You know a better way
to let the Germans know we're here

What's the matter with him?

Grady Long.

Billy?

Yeah.

You go on guard
after Saunders and Caje.

Right.

Braddock?

Yeah.

What are we watching for?

Germans. The war, remember.

Delaney.

Yeah.

You're a cook right?

Well, just a helper.

Well, you spent some
time around the stove, right.

2 years.

You saw them cook some of
those fancy dishes like chicken
cacciatore, a la king and rickosey.

Fricassee.

Well. I think this bird deserves
something better than
a hat full of hot water.

When this bird goes out,
I think it should have,
like, something fancy.

A little garlic, onion powder,
celery seed and maybe
a bay leaf or two.

It'll be a crying shame for
this bird to be cooked plain.

Let me see her.

No.

What do you mean, no.

She's 6 pounds if she's an ounce.

That's bad huh.

Should be 3, 4 at the most.

You'll have to stew her.

Stew her, are you sure.

Yep.

Sorry honey.

Delaney, there's something
been bothering me.

I know it's none of my business,
but how old are you.

Forty

Forty!

Those bad boys are murderers.

Don't they realize
this is a young man's war.

Listen, if I were you...

I wasn't drafted.

You weren't?

I joined.

You joined, no kidding.

It was the only way
I could get in.

You wanted in the army?

How come?

You ever hear of a
little town called Hannah, Wisconsin.

No.

Well, I come from there.

It's 100 miles from Milwaukee,
70 from Madison,
210 from Chicago.

You know something,
I never got to any of those places.

I never got anyplace
until the war.

I was a clerk in a grocery store.

Now look at me.

Been to London, on my way
to Paris, maybe even Berlin.

You'd had a better chance of
getting there if you stayed in the kitchen,

and not get yourself
transferred to a line outfit.

I know.

Then why did you do it.

To me, a cook in the army
is like being a clerk in Hannah.

It's a way to stay alive.

Well, there's more important
things than that.

Name one.

Going home after the war, looking
back on what you did, or didn't do.

Living with it.

Look, I'm not much of a deep
thinker, but I know one thing.

Anybody that got himself
into this man's war when he
didn't have to is OK in my book.

A little nuts, maybe, but OK.

Any questions.

No, no questions.

You guys gonna talk all night.

Kirby.

Yeah.

Drop dead.

Littlejohn?

Yeah.

What's the matter.

You're gonna be mad at me again.

I am, why?

Look.

I'm looking.

The pin, it's gone.

Gone.

You see, it was loose and
I was trying to bend it
so it wouldn't come out.

And I dropped it
and I can't find it.

Don't let go of the handle.

I won't I won't.

How many times have
I told you not to fool
around with grenades, Billy.

I was just trying.

You were just trying to
blow your head off.
Not to mention the rest of us.

It's gotta be here someplace.

If Sergeant finds out about this,
he'll really give it to me good.

Like that time you washed
your rifle in soap and water.

Ooh, yeah.

Well, I guess you're gonna
have to stay up all night
and hold that handle Billy.

I can't do that.

Only thing you can do if
you want to stay in one piece.

Billy.

Hmm.

Give it here.

(loud thunder roars)

Thanks.

Nothing to it.

Hey, Delaney.

Hang on to that.

Littlejohn.

What's the matter now.

I, I thought I heard something.

What.

I don't know, it sounded like a...

(magazine snap is heard)

The bolt slipped. I was trying
to put the magazine back.

Here, let me help you.

This is a browning automatic rifle,
commonly known as a B A R.

It's a gas operated, air cooled,
portable machine rifle.

Fed from a magazine,
capable of firing from
200 to 350 rounds a minute.

Provided the man behind it isn't
a kitchen cop who doesn't know
his trigger housing from his butt plate.

Knock it off Kirby.

The bullet comes out
the small end, Delaney.

But they already told you that at
cook's and bakers school, right.

I said.

You said you gave him Grady's rifle
because he's qualified to carry it.
Now that's a lie and you know it.

He's just a cook, a lousy rotten...

I've had all I want
to take from you Kirby.

Sergeant.

Listen.

Tanks.

Sergeant, Sergeant.

There's somebody moving out there.

They're coming in.

Hold it.

Fire up that radio corporal.

Yes Sir.

What's coming in out there Lieutenant.
Sounds like the whole German army.

I thought it was a
recon patrol but it's not.

There's at least 10 tanks
deployed at the other end of town,
half-tracks, armored cars, the works.

I'll get the men ready to move out.

We're not moving.

They're all around us.

You can call a fire mission
and make a run for it.

You'd never make it 50 yards.

We got to keep our heads down
and sweat this one out.

Like you said Lieutenant,
at least we're in a position to
judge their strength and direct artillery fire.

Trouble is we're smack in the middle
of our own target How about that radio.

Checkmate King six
This is Checkmate King 2 over.

Checkmate King six. Checkmate King six.

This is Checkmate King 2
This is Checkmate King 2 over.

Can't raise them Lieutenant.

Keep trying.

I guess you were right, Sergeant.

About them putting us
between a rock and a hard place.

Things are tough all over Lieutenant.

Checkmate King six
this is Checkmate King 2 over.

(chicken starts clucking)

(the noisy chicken gets German's attention)

(talking in German)

(they are called back at crucial moment)

From what I could see up there
they've got about 50 pieces of medium and
heavy armor scattered in and around this town.

I'd give my right arm to call
a fire mission right now Lieutenant.

You'd give more than that,
if you did Sergeant.

Standby Checkmate, we're fixed.

Lieutenant, I got Battalion.

Checkmate King 2 over.

Yes Sir.

Yes Sir we are.

Yes Sir Roger out.

What did Battalion say Lieutenant.

Sit still and wait till they pull out.

You got a better suggestion Sergeant.

I already made it.
Call a fire mission wait till it starts
coming in and make a run for it.

You wouldn't stand a chance.

This town is crawling with krauts.
They've already sent out patrols.
They're bound to find us sooner or later Lieutenant.

Lieutenant, Lieutenant.

Look.

Everybody through that door
Quick! Move!.

(Speaking German)

Buckmeyer.

Yes Sir.

Can you make out what they're saying.

They're going to set up
a command post in the loft.

That tears it.

Well Lieutenant.

Buckmeyer.

Yes Sir.

Get me Division Artillery.

Yes Sir.

Men ready to go Sergeant.

Yes Sir.

We got 3 minutes.

There will be over 50 pieces of artillery
firing at your first insurgent target.

They'll be coming in from every
direction, planes if we're lucky.

I'll head for the outskirts
of town. Tell your men to
follow me and stay spread out.

There's a fringe of timber
just outside the outskirts.

Get there, we've got it made.

Yes Sir.

Sergeant.

Good luck.

Same to you Lieutenant.

Leave your packs
We're going to make a run for it.

Lieutenant and I will lead out
Delaney, fall in at the rear.

Nelson
Stick with us.

And no matter what happens
don't bunch up just stick on my tail.

Any questions.

Alright.

Hey Delaney. Are you alright.

Yeah yeah I'm alright.

Won't be long now Sergeant.

No Lieutenant.

Corporal.

Yes Sir.

Keep the radio fired up
I want to keep in contact with Division.

Yes Sir.

27 Lieutenant.

Fire!

Go!

Go.

Delaney
Delaney, You hit.

No.

Well come on come on
We gotta get outa here.

Go on, Go on, Go on,
I'll follow you. Go on.

Get the B.A.R. man up here.

Yes Sir.

Where's Delaney.

I saw him go down.

Was he hit.

No Sir.

I, I tried to get him up.
I couldn't.

I told you sarge
I told you.

Shut up.

Delaney!

Delaney!

Come on
Get up.

I can't.

You listen to me Delaney.

We've got to knock out that gun
or our whole squad's gonna get it.

Caje, Kirby, Braddock All of them.

You can't tell me that you're
going to stay here with your head
stuck in the ground and let that happen.

Because if you are
you better get used to it

Cause you're gonna spend the rest of your
life with your head stuck in the ground trying
to forget that you blew those men to pieces.

Men you depend on.

Now are you going to
help me blow up that gun or not.

Are you!

Cover me.

Delaney.

Let's go.

Come on Let's go.

Sergeant.

Yes Sir.

Time to get going.

William D. Delaney.

I didn't even know his first name.

Doesn't seem right asking a man
to die without even knowing his name.

I was wrong Lieutenant...

Wrong?

I gave Delaney Grady's gun because...

I didn't want to lose
one of the others the way I lost Grady.

I thought if it was...someone I
didn't know it would be..easier.

It's not.

We'll take the truck as
far as Laier, join Battalion.

Yes Sir.

Who are you.

Baker, Sir

Baker?

He's a new man, Sergeant

He's taking Delaney's place.

You got a first name Baker?

Yes Sir.

What is it?

Albert..Albert Baker Sir.

Glad to know you, Albert Baker.
