02x10 - A Distant Drum

[bunniefuu]

Lt. Hanley got it!

I saw him fall down, hundred yards up there.

- Is he dead?
- I don't know!

Sarge, you'll never make it!

I can't leave him alone!

You'll never make it!

Come back!

They're cutting us to pieces! Move back!

Pull back! Pull back!

All the way back!

[calling in German]

You think they got the Lieutenant up there?

I don't know but we're going the wrong way to find out.

Hey, maybe we can go back and take a look. What do you think?

I figure a couple of us might get away with it if we take a quick look.

All right, Kirby.

You take the rest of the men, you go over the next rise.

You'll find the second squad there.

- Tell Davis that we're...
- Tell me what, sir?

Hey, Davis.

Caje and I are going to go look for the Lieutenant.

Kirby's going to head up my unit.

We'll meet back at the rendezvous.

That ain't what the company wants.

You should take time and call in once in a while, Sarge.

- Well, what's a matter? What goes?
- Well, the Lieutenant's gone.

The platoon sergeant's wounded.

Orders are for you to take over the platoon and head for the rendezvous.

All right, Sarge.

- Kirby and I will meet you there.
- Now, you wait a minute!

We're not going to no sweat getting back there. You were ready to go yourself a minute ago.

All right, but if you run into any Krauts, you pull right back. You got it?

And if the Lieutenant isn't there, you don't go looking for him!

All right.

You meet me back at the rendezvous.

All right, Sarge.

Hauptmann

[yells]

[crying]

Keppler

Come out here.

He's gone.

That means he could be alive, don't it?

It could also mean he's a prisoner.

Yeah.

We better do some more looking.

Hey, you know what the Sergeant said.

Yeah, he said meet at the rendezvous point.

We can get there by going up this way, can't we?

Kirby, you're a genius. Let's go.

[chickens clucking]

Help me.

I'm an American. Help me.

Help me.

[knocking]

Amerikaner

There's a thousand of them, we better head straight for the rendezvous point!

Yep!

[speaking French]

Keppler.

Bonjour.

Haben sie einen Amerikaner in der umgebung zu sehen?

[distant voices]

Hauptmann!

Mueller!

Jawohl!

I'm an American.

Don't be afraid.

[clanking]

Keppler! Mueller!

Wir kommen!

Merci beaucoup, Mademoiselle

Mama

Le américain dans la cave

Oh, no!

They have left.

You speak English, Mademoiselle?

A little.

[speaking French]

Mama wants you to go now.

I'm not going.

You must go.

For the good of me.

I can't, not this way.

I'm shot. Wounded in the back.

The wound's gotta be dressed.

- Bandaged.
- I understand.

Medicine? I've got medicine right here.

Bandages, sulfa.

We will help you but then you must go.

Okay.

Mama is ready, Lieutenant.

Tell your mother not to worry, the Bosch are gone.

I'll leave as soon as it gets dark.

Tell her to calm down. Tell her to calm down, they don't know I'm within a million miles of here.

The Bosch saw the blood.

Mama told them you went away again. Who knows if they believed her.

Tell your mother...

Tell her, I'll leave as soon as she dresses my wound.

The b*llet did not go in; it is clean.

That's lucky.

Yes.

Lieutenant...

You have to understand Mama.

I understand.

The Bosch followed me here.

That's one reason.

It pain.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry, I'll live.

Where did you learn to speak English? School?

No.

A man, an aviator.

- A pilot?
- Yes!

I will show you.

An English flyer, here?

- In this house?
- Yes!

You must sit quiet.

Tell me about the English flyer.

Well, his airplane crashed.

In the field over there.

My papa was in the field with the plow.

And he helped him, he carried him in here.

He was all burned and bad.

Mama cared for him for a long time.

When did it happen?

About a year ago.

He stayed here five months. We hided him.

The Bosch came.

They took...

the flyer outside and they shot him.

and they sh**t Papa too.

Everything my father did, it was for nothing.

Madame?

I'm sorry about your husband.

Mama said...

She doesn't want to take a chance on losing you.

Voila.

Thank you, madame.

Looks like they're going to stay awhile.

They sent up a truck to feed their troops.

They're patrolling further down the road.

I can't leave until dark.

No!

Now you must go.

I can't.

Your mother doesn't want to get involved.

Please! You must understand!

I understand, they k*lled your father.

There are a lot of other Frenchman who have died.

There are some who are not afraid.

They keep on helping no matter what the Bosch do.

You tell your mother I'm not leaving until dark.

Oh, no!

Only until dark.

[clock chiming]

Mama says...

I know, it's dark. Time for me to go.

You must not be angry with Mama.

She's not afraid for herself. She's afraid for me.

If the Bosch find you here...

I understand.

Your Mama won't have to worry anymore.

[knocking]

[knocking]

[knocking]

[knocking]

Guten abend

Darf ich rein kommen?

Mama? Mama!

She's all right. We've got to get him out of here.

Open the window.

All right, hold him.

All right, push him out.

Give me the g*n.

Lieutenant!

Bonne chance!

Oh, Mama.

Oh, my cherie.

Keppler?

Keppler?

Keppler!

Keppler?

[banging]

Where Keppler?

Help me.

Get the g*n!

Thank you, madame.

It is for us to thank you.

Let's say the score is even.

Lieutenant...

Mama is sorry for the way she acted.

She want us to go a part of the way with you.

Part of the way?

You come all the way with me back to the American lines. You'll be safe.

No, we want to stay here.

It is our home.

We can hide in the woods until the Bosch go.

Will your mother be afraid?

She said she will always be afraid.

As long as the w*r is on.

You must go now.

Which way?

Half a kilometer.

You will see a little trail,

Turn right and you stay until the river.

All right, I'll find it. You stay here.

We'll be moving up soon and the Bosch will be moving out.

Goodbye, mademoiselle.

Madame.

How we doing, Lieutenant?

Fine, Saunders. How's the squad?

We got hit pretty bad. Bernstein and Willis are dead, Fueses wounded and Lopez missing.

Well, maybe Loper will turn up okay.

People are helping us, he could be lucky too.

Lieutenant, we're going right back where we came from.

That's right. Reinforcements came in and we're moving back to Phase-line Green again.

Lieutenant, sir, if you see any of those brass-heads back there, you tell them to make up their minds, will you?

Sergeant, when you hit Phase-line Green,

There's a farmhouse along the road, down below the hill.

Tell the woman I'm okay, will you?

Sure, Lieutenant.

Her daughter speaks English.
