02x12 - Ambush

[bunniefuu]

[yelling and cheering]

Hey! Come down!

If you're gonna argue, forget it.

[speaking French]

Hey, wait up!

Why you wanna leave? I wanna talk to you...

Come here, I wanna talk to you.

- What's the word, Lieutenant? - We hole up here.

- Oh, that's nice. For how long? -Tonight.



Big stuff.

Now, wait a minute! I'm not in shape for this kind of thing.

Slow down, I wanna talk to you a minute. Come here.

[loud cheering and yelling]

[yelling in French]

[pleading in French]

No parlez-vous. Hey, Caje!

- Yo? - Come here a minute, will you?

- What is it? - Look at her.

The French Underground is sh**ting her father or something, I don't know.

She says he's a collaborator or something. I don't know, doesn't look to me like anybody's sh**ting.

Wait a minute. You can tell her we're not supposed to interfere in civilian affairs, will you?

- Tell her, will you? - Yeah, I know

But she still insists she needs our help, Sarge.

[g*nsh*t]

Papa!

Papa!

Papa!

Oh, no, Papa!

[screaming in French]

She says we're all murderers.

She says her father was a great doctor, a great humanitarian or something.

- Or the way she tells it. - They don't seem to be buying it.

Assassiner!

Get them off the street! Get them off the street!

[yelling]

Get in the house.

Get her off the street!

Come on!

[loud yelling continues]

Assassiner!

Assassiner!

[g*nsh*t]

[knocking]

[knocking]

Mademoiselle.

Mademoiselle.

Why did we let them k*ll her father?

We didn't have time to stop it.

Tell her that we'll see to it that her father is buried.

You can't hide your guilt by burying her father.

Where are you going?

Now wait a minute!

She said she's getting away from this village.

She better keep off the roads, the Krauts are pulling back.

[speaking Latin]

They're just about finished.

If you'd care to go over and do something or say something.

Wouldn't even go over to her old man's grave.

I guess she couldn't. She's probably all cried out.

Ah, don't get all choked up. He was a collaborator, remember?

You sent for me, Lieutenant?

I just spoke to company.

They want you to find the Marchand and bring her back here.

What for?

S-2 wants to talk to her. It seems...

her father was working for us.

Working for us?

Yeah, just a minor agent.

He was playing cozy with the Krauts so he could gather information.

Why weren't we told about it?

Maybe we weren't supposed to know. Maybe...

it was a foul up in communications.

Lieutenant, we were right here in this village when that man was k*lled in the street!

I am aware of that, Sergeant.

We could have gone to him as soon as we hit this village!

I know.

Now just find her and bring her back.

She didn't even know he was working for us.

I know.

They don't know what information she has.

Just want to ask her questions about times, places, dates.

You know, little stuff.

She's got an uncle who lives just outside the next village.

Maybe she went there.

Supposing she won't come back?

Well, bring her anyway.

Caje, you better explain to the townspeople. Tell them she's coming back.

Right.

I...

I wonder what the villagers are going to think now.

The villagers? What about her?

[truck approaching]

[ordering in German]

[yelling in French]

How are we supposed to know which farmhouse her uncle lives in?

Don't worry about it. We didn't even see any yet.

- You see them, Sarge? - Yeah.

Battalion said they were supposed to pull back behind the next town. What do you suppose they're doing here?

I don't know. We gotta find out, we have no choice.

We're gonna get them?

You're on me, Kirby.

Give us cover.

[speaking German]

I surrender!

I surrender!

What are you doing out here?

I surrender! I surrender!

I said, what are you doing out here?

I surrender!

Ah, he don't know what you're talking about, Sarge.

These two might not be alone out here.

- Nelson? - Yeah?

Take him back to the village, ask the Lieutenant to get an interpreter and question him.

Take his radio.

Come on, Fritzie, let's move.

- I surrender! - Yeah, I know, you surrender.

[speaking German]

American radio.

[over radio] - This is Checkmate King-Six, Checkmate King-Two, report village secure.

We have ordered him to hold there for arrival of bedpost and chicken.

I say again, we have ordered him to hold there for arrival of bedpost and chicken.

Out.

Bedposts? Chickens?

Bedposts, tanks!

- Chickens, soldiers! - Ah, Ja!

Herr Hauptmann, Herr Hauptmann.

- Herr Hauptmann? - Ja?

Ja?

[over radio] - Checkmate-King, radio check for all units. Over.

[over radio] - Checkmate King, radio check for all units. Over.

Herr Hauptmann, radio!

Nicht siezen

Feuer end auben

Jawohl, Herr Hauptmann.

[over radio] Checkmate King, radio check for all units. Over.

Checkmate King, this is White Rook. Read you loud and clear. On me.

White Rook, this is Checkmate King. I read you weak but clear.

Read you loud and clear. Over.

Black Fox, this is Checkmate King. Radio check for all units. How do you read me?

Can you monitor my transmission, White Rook, over?

Black Fox, this is Checkmate King. Radio check for all units, how do you read me?

Did you monitor my transmission to White Rook, over?

Black Fox, this is Checkmate...

Sarge!

She says for us to go away, her uncle is dying.

Let him have his last minutes in peace.

Go on, tell her.

She says you repaid her father by letting him die.

Tell her Intelligence want to talk to her.

I already told her that, Sarge.

Sarge, this man's in shock. He needs a hospital.

Caje.

Tell her we'll take her uncle back to the village. There's some doctors moving in with Battalion.

Maybe they can save him.

Now she thinks you're bargaining with her uncle's life

and we're only trying to bring him back so she'll go.

Well, you can't blame her for thinking that.

Will she go?

She'll go.

But only for his sake.

Why didn't you fall back with the rest of your men when they left the village?

Ich no sprechen Inglés

Really, now? You speak English a little bit.

- Don't you? - No! No!

You're a liar! You just answered my question! I'm losing my patience.

All right, Lieutenant. Maybe you better take it easy with him.

Maybe he's telling the truth. Why don't you talk to him in German for a little while?

He's as stupid in German as he is in English!

- He understands me perfectly! - I surrender!

You know, this whole thing smells to me like a rear guard action.

They tried it last month in our other sector.

They succeeded in getting their hands on one of our radios.

Then they called in all of their English speaking lads and started monitoring our calls.

I heard that.

I better call Saunders.

White Rook, this is King Two.

- Sarge, radio! - Hold up!

White Rook, this is King Two. Over.

Hold on.

White Rook, this is King Two. Over.

White Rook, this is King Two. Over.

[chattering loudly in French]

We interrogated your prisoner. Over.

Learn anything? Over.

Negative. He just keeps surrendering. Over.

I figure he's an a*tillery observer. Over.

- [loud chattering over radio] - That's what our interrogator figures too.

We found maps of the sector on him.

Have you seen any more Krauts. Over.

Negative. Over.

[Hanley over radio] Well, you can hide a*tillery.

Drop everything and search the area completely.

This town's going to be full of...

visitors in about forty minutes. Over.

Bedposts und chickens, ja?

Wait a minute, Lieutenant!

Lieutenant, I can't drop everything. I have the girl here with her uncle.

He's hurt pretty bad. I promised her we'd get him medical attention in the village. Over.

Well, this comes first, Sergeant!

Or the Germans pull back too fast and too easy.

If there's a*tillery out there, find it! Out.

[yelling in French]

Caje!

Caje, you tell her...

Tell her there's change in plans! We have to look for a*tillery.

Caje, you tell her...

You tell her she'll stay here with her uncle and I'll send a vehicle as fast as I can to pick her up.

She said you made a bargain, Sergeant. Remember?

Tell her I have to follow orders.

She said she can bargain too, Sergeant.

She says she knows where the German a*tillery is hiding.

She's probably lying.

Well, she said she saw the a*tillery on the way here.

She said she can lead us to the Krauts.

What does she want in return?

She wants Little John and Doc to take her uncle back to the village now.

While she leads us to the Germans.

I don't trust her, Sarge.

Tell her it's okay.

I think you're making a big mistake, Sarge.

She said she has no reason to lie because she has no one left.

Our stupid w*r, only empty noises in her ears.

Pick up the stretcher.

Sarge?

Marie, we haven't got much time. You gotta tell us where the a*tillery is.

You haven't got a thing to bargain anymore, she says.

Her uncle is dead. Her father is dead.

We can't hurt her anymore.

Get ready to move out.

Caje, come with me.

Tell her she can stay here with her uncle but that we don't stand much of a chance

of finding that a*tillery without her but we'll try it if that's what she wants.

I'm sorry about your father.

But from here, you can see there are millions like you and me and all of us.

and this is going to go on until we

Marie, I think

I know what you're feeling inside. You're filled with hurt and hate.

and you don't care about tomorrow but tomorrow will come and the difference is

How are you going to feel about it then?

If hundreds of men and women are blown to bits because you kept silent

If that a*tillery falls on your village,

then you'll be helping to destroy the very things your father died trying to save!

Now, he knew the risks he was taking.

He wanted to help us because he believed in us without even telling you what he was doing.

He expected faith from you,

and no matter how bad things in the village looked for him,

You gave it to him.

Well, I need that same kind of faith from you now.

What would your father expect you to do? What would your father say you must do?

Monsieur?

Checkmate King Two, Checkmate King Two, This is White Rook, this is White Rook. Over.

This is King Two, what's happening out there? Over.

We found the German a*tillery.

They got us boxed in. Now here's their position.

They're in sector Charlie, that's 700 yards east

and about 1,100 yards south. Do you read? Over.

I read. 700 yards east, 1,110 south. Over.

Correction, correction!

Krauts are in sector Dog! I made a mistake.

Sector Dog!

Checkmate King Two, checkmate King Two. This is Sgt. Saunders!

This is Sgt. Saunders! There's a Kraut in on our frequency.

Repeat.

Sector Charlie, about 700 yards east, 1,100 yards south. Over.

Out.

Feuer!

Feuer!

Looks like our boys are zeroing in.

Go!

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

[shouting]

Well, how was it, Sarge?

Tell the Lieutenant we're back.

All right, fall out.

Marie, listen to me.

Caje, will you tell her that we'll be leaving here soon and

tell her we're grateful to her and her father for...

Caje, you...

You know what to say. Just tell her that.

How is she?

I don't think we'll be here long enough to find out.

Second Battalion?

They'll never know what they missed.

Be an officer from S-2 here in a couple of minutes.

Caje, let them know where our headquarters are.

Right, sir.
