Thank you.

What happened?

I ran into one on my way back

You spot the rest of them? Yeah, I did. They're not many. They're all scattered.

Herbie, you and Richard, take that flag.

Let's do it with me. Doc, you stay here.

Thank you.

Three-zero. And four doves. Over.

Got it.

How's he, Rain?

Can't even get a smoke.

We'll be going home pretty soon.

You wanna bet?

Hey. Hey.

You gonna wear that picture out?

I sat him back there. I never thought I was going to see him again.

Don't worry. You'll get back to him.

Richards.

You got a dry cigarette?

Yeah, I think so.

Since when did you start smoking?

Yesterday.

Next thing I know, you'll be drinking booze.

Be chasing women, you'll be down the tubes before you know it. Guess so.

That your family?

Yeah.

Let me see.

Three kids.

How long you been married?

Three years.

What's up, Lieutenant?

Battalion reports a crowd communication center.

They want it knocked out.

See? They're sending some replacements.

We'll pick them up in a barn about half a mile from here.

Kirby, you're on point.

All right, let's move out.

I knew it would happen again. I knew it. Well, why didn't you let me take the

point? I didn't want to let you come at all.

Lay off me, Greeley.

I don't want to be here and you know it. All right. Just keep away from me.

I should have known better than to come out here with you in the first place.

Look what happened last time.

What do you guys think you're doing?

What's going on here? Lieutenant Hanley, I'm Corporal Greeley.

Private Dolan, sir. Hank Dolan.

What's all the yelling about?

Don't you know there are crowd patrols in this area?

Yes, we know, sir.

We got hit by one.

And I lost two men because of him. What happened?

Him, that's what happened.

He's a jinx, Lieutenant.

A real live Jonah.

Vic Jason.

And Vic Morrow.

About a mile down the road from here, sir.

We was just coming through the tulies, nice and easy.

We didn't even get a chance to get a shot off.

They just hit us and run.

And old Johnson and Whitaker, they was dead before they had a chance to scream.

I was on point.

But Johnson and Whitaker, they were with him.

I know it sounds crazy, sir, but he's right.

This is my third outfit, sir.

And every time, the same thing happens.

Not so you're lucky.

Where are those overlays you're supposed to bring me?

Here you are, sir.

Cage. Yes, sir. On the door. The rest of you relax.

What is it, Curley?

What are you going to do about him?

What do you mean, what am I going to do about him?

What he means, sir, is he wants you to leave me behind.

And he's right.

I want to make myself clear.

I don't believe in jinxes.

Or Jonas.

Or whatever else you call him.

We've got a job to do.

He's going along.

Sir. That's it, soldier.

One

time.

Hey, babe, will you cut it out?

You want these guys to think you're a Section 8?

All right, then leave it alone.

Yeah, sure.

Hey, Ben.

Hello. I heard from the wife a while back. She asked about you.

I didn't know where you were.

It's been rough, huh?

Yeah, it's rough.

Hey, Mike, you know me, right?

I ain't crazy.

Not that I remember.

All right, then you listen to me.

If I go out there with you guys, I'm gonna get you all killed.

You really believe that, don't you?

Yes, I believe it. I know it.

I don't know.

It's weird.

It happens all the time. I never get it. It's always the other guys.

Maybe I am going crazy, huh?

Ah, you just bushed.

Come on, you want a cigarette?

Boundary mud.

That's not the mud that bothers me.

Or the rain.

It's dull.

You don't believe that Jonah stuff, do you?

Yeah, well, you just wait a while, buddy. You'll be talking out of the

other side of your mouth.

You gotta bet.

How long have you been with him?

Long enough to see a whole squad get wiped out.

Don't you think it's the law of averages?

I mean, sometimes a guy's luck is good and sometimes it's bad.

Yeah.

With him, it's all bad.

You see, when you start picking up the day.

Kirby, take the point.

Gage, career.

Yes, sir.

Saddle up.

That guy Greeley's a little nervous, isn't he?

He has reason to be.

How far do they have to go?

A couple hundred yards.

Shouldn't they be back by now?

Yeah.

I don't like it.

Cage can take care of himself.

Not with Dolan, he can't.

Come on, Greeley, knock it off, will you?

It's all clear.

I'll lead out, Cage.

Let's go.

What now?

Mink, where is he?

Why are you doing this?

I have something to do.

This was nothing.

Really is dead.

A lousy shot.

I'll let go.

How much proof do you want, Lieutenant?

Sir, you gotta send me back.

Move out, Dolan.

Sir. Dolan.

Lieutenant.

He's convinced he's bad luck, and I don't think anything's going to change

his mind.

I know it.

I'm worried about us convincing the others.

Hold up.

How much further, Lieutenant?

About a mile.

Take five.

I'm going to be glad when this one's over.

What's the matter, Cage? You getting a little jumpy?

No, I'm not getting jumpy.

I've seen guys like that before. They're bad luck, that's all.

Bad luck?

The bad luck I've had is from seeing a few too many crowds.

About Grayley back there.

I was a freak.

An accident.

It wasn't your fault.

Look, do me a favor, will you?

Skip the speeches about freak accidents and dumb luck.

I've said it to myself over and over again.

So what are you trying to say now?

That you should be dead?

All right.

All right, so you had a few close calls.

So what?

What makes you think you're so special?

What about me?

What about those guys?

They've been at it since Omaha Beach.

They're still alive.

You don't understand.

What I'm saying is, it's not just that I'm still alive.

It's the other guys around me.

They always get it.

And it keeps happening.

I never get a scratch.

It's like I'm a sponge.

And I keep sucking up everybody else's luck.

Their lives.

Hank, that's crazy.

You're not invincible.

Nobody is.

alive because because what go on tell me

you

want to see your wife and kids again don't you huh

then you just stay away from me

That's the first German plane I've seen in a month.

It came out of nowhere.

Like it was looking for us.

Everybody all right?

Yes, sir.

You trying to get yourself killed?

No, sir.

They okay?

You stop worrying about everybody else and take care of yourself.

You better check up ahead. Cage, you and me.

You think Dolan might be right?

No.

Look, Doc, I ain't superstitious either.

But what about the way that Greeley bought it? And what about that plane out

of nowhere?

And what about what he says himself, that anybody near him gets killed?

Look, don't you start believing that stuff.

Nothing happened here that couldn't have happened anywhere.

He's just got himself believing something that, well, it isn't true.

Richards? You knew him before.

Was he always like this?

No.

No, he wasn't like this at all.

I want some basic on him.

Let's go.

Forget it.

Is it mine, Lieutenant?

Doesn't show on the map, but it's a likely place.

Well, can't we go around it?

No, our best route is right down through those woods.

Any other way, we'd be too long around, and we'd come out exposed.

You want me to tag you to Lieutenant?

All right, Dolan.

Yeah.

He always did, huh?

It's like a sheep to slaughter.

Huh?

Yeah, Jonah's sheep.

The sheep that takes the other one to slaughter.

Oh, knock it off, will you, Cage?

I remember one night in Vesa.

He was driving back from town.

A bunch of guys.

Drunk driver smashed right into them.

Head-on collision.

Everybody was killed.

Except Dahl.

Funny, I didn't think about him much at the time.

I'm standing on one.

Now stay back, you hear me?

Dolan, listen to me.

It won't explode until you take your weight off of it.

Now you got a chance if you hit the deck.

Do you understand?

It was a dud.

I don't believe it.

You know what I mean, Lieutenant?

That mine should have gone off the second I jumped.

So it malfunctioned.

I thought you'd had it.

Look, I don't know what it takes to convince you guys. I told you, I'm not

the one that's gonna get it.

Now, look, Dolan, just knock off all that Jonah malarkey, okay?

Now, we got plenty to worry about without having to hear how you're gonna

make it and we ain't.

How is it?

Well, it's not broken, but it's already starting to swell.

He's not going to be able to walk too well.

All right, give him a hand.

I'm sorry, Lieutenant.

That's okay. It just happened.

Sure, it just happened.

All right, let's go.

I'll be all right.

Sure you'll be all right.

We got one man dead. You can't even walk.

We didn't even get to the comm center yet.

Pretty fouled up if you ask me.

It's very good, very good.

I'm going now.

What are you trying to do, let him know we're here?

I thought he saw us.

Knock it off.

Right over those trees. Come on.

You men are carrying on like this is your first mission.

Now you stop worrying about him.

Start worrying about the Krauts.

He's not going to kill you.

They'll do it if you don't start acting like soldiers.

All right, let's move out.

Kirby, you take the left flank.

The phone wires go up that way.

Dolan, you and Simmons go up the right flank.

We'll wait till you get into position.

Your job is to set up a diversion.

Kirby will cut the wires when he hears you open up.

Riches and I will go up the center.

You got it?

Sir, why don't I go alone? I don't need him to set up a diversion.

Because that's the way I'm calling it, Dolan.

Now move out.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Hey, Lieutenant.

I can still fire this thing.

Okay, Cage. Cover us from here.

Kirby, move out.

Lieutenant.

What happened?

It was just a kid.

Dolan, what happened?

He went ahead of me, and a crowd jumped out from behind.

What about the crowd?

The kid didn't have a chance.

Dolan, what about the crowd? Did you get him?

Yeah, I got him.

But I told you to leave me behind.

But you wouldn't listen to me.

Dolan, snap out of it.

Richards, you're with Dolan.

All right, get going.

You want him killed, too?

Move out, Dolan.

No, sir.

Soldier, I need two men in that flank position, and you're one of them. Now

pick it up and move out.

Dolan!

chocolate.

I think I've been thinking.

What the lieutenant said back there.

He was right.

Lieutenant's wrong.

It's still happening.

No.

I'll be all right.

We'll see.

Go ahead.

Is it over?

Yeah, it's over.

I know for a guy that wasn't supposed to get hit, you bleed pretty good.

Anybody else get it? No.

I'll tell you something, though.

It's a good thing Cage was where he was.

They'd have gotten Lieutenant Hanley.

You okay, Dolan?

Yes, sir.

I'm okay.

All right. Let's pick up Cage and get out of here.

Thank you.
