[electronic warbling]

- [dramatic music playing]
- [radio squawks]

[man on radio] It's just us, boys.
Stay alert.

[music crescendos, stops]

[plane engines roaring]

[man] Tell you when I got scared.

It was when
they gave us the chocolate bars.

And the extra smokes.

- And a John Wayne movie in the mess.
- [knife blade rings]

'Cause when brass is nice to you,
means you're about to get f*cked.

No shame in being afraid.

But Zeke...

Hell, Zeke weren't afraid of nothin'.

[explosions]

[tense music crescendoes, stops]

[commander] Tonight, gentlemen,
you will be threading a needle.

A strike of critical importance
to the w*r effort

on a well-protected target.

Command has determined a single b*mber
has the best chance of evading detection,

and you're the finest crew we've got.

So you're flying into France alone.

You'll have a fighter escort
across the Channel, but that's it.

And your target is a church
just south of the German border.

Anyone got a problem with that?

Not if it's a Protestant church, sir.

Just another target, sir.

[clears throat]
Sir, so, uh, who's the accountant?

[commander] Let me introduce you
to Mr. f*ck You, Don't Ask.

And for the duration of the mission,
this man is in charge.

Name's Coombs.

[tense music playing]

Come on. Just bricks
and mortar, Preacher.

Show some respect, will ya?
It's a house of God.

[scoffs] No sane person
can doubt the hereafter.

[scoffs] We're supposed to be
taking orders from this guy?

What a load of malarkey.

I believe in what I can see and touch,
and maybe half of what I hear.

There's enough real sh*t to worry about
without inventing fairy tales.

In the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Aw, come on. You too, Tap?

[Tap] Raised in it.

[Zeke sighs] One born every minute.

[music crescendoes]

[man on radio] Brace yourselves, boys

[epic music playing]

[cries out, gasps]

Left wing got tagged.

f*ck the flak.
f*ck the flak. f*ck the flak.

[praying in Gaelic]

[man] Steady. Eggs?

[Eggs] Close, Cap! Less than ten!

[Coombs gasping] Five.

[eerie music playing]

[man chanting in Aramaic]

Wait. Not yet! Not yet!

[officer chanting in Aramaic]

[engine roaring]

[Cap] Coombs,
she can't take much more of this.

[Coombs] Not yet!

[chanting in Aramaic]

[building groaning]

[continues chanting in Aramaic]

[dramatic music crescendoes, stops]

Now... Now!

[epic music playing]

[in German] Rise, my child.

- [Tap] We did it!
- [Zeke] Yeah, all right!

[Eggs laughs]

[Cap] Well done, boys.
We're heading home.

[tense music playing]

[breathing heavily]

- No, no, no, no, no.
- [pilot] Incoming! We got incoming!

[Cap] Bandits! g*ns! g*ns!

Goddammit.

[Preacher] I'm losin' em!

[Zeke] Let's go! Let's go!

- On the right!

[Tap grunting, coughing]

[grunts]

Oh.

[coughing and sputtering]

[panting]

Holy God...

[exclaims]

Tap, you got eyes on it?

[Tap screams]

- No, no, no, no, no.
- What'd you see?

It's one of the Fallen.

[machine g*n fire]

[soldiers exclaiming]

[mumbled praying]

You're just provoking it!

[soldiers crying out]

[creature growling]

- [all exclaiming]
- Run! Run! Run!

[creature roaring]

[Preacher] Protect us from the wicked,

and banish this evil
to the depths of hell!

[creature growling]

[soldiers crying out]

No! Please, God, have mercy on me!
Forgive me, Father, for I have...

[shouting]

[creature shrieking]

[eerie screaming and groaning]

[men panting]

What the f*ck was that?

[panting continues]

[whooshing]

[engine roaring]

Come on! Come on, baby!

[poignant music playing]

[panting]

[Tap] I wanted to tell Zeke
I understood what he was feeling.

To realize we don't really know
what this world is made of

or our place in it.

But there wasn't nothing I could say
to make it go down any easier.

So I just kept my mouth shut and...

[panting]

...let Zeke keep getting religion.
