Once you get out of training,
you're funnelled into what's called the pipeline,
and you become a number while you're travelling it,
until you get spewed out somewhere at the other end.
After you land, you look for signs of war.
A bullet scar in a wall, a bombed out building.
You don't have to look very hard.
You see a lot of poverty,
kids starving.
When you get on the trucks, after the ship and the train,
you know the pipeline is carrying you further towards the front.
You're going to be a combat infantryman,
the tip of the spear.
You don't know what it will be like or what will happen,
and you wonder whether you're going to get killed.
We got a funny kind of a war here, a war that we can't really win
because it's gotta be settled around a conference table.
In the meantime, we have to keep fighting and we have to keep dying.
And I think you men have a right to know why.
It's as simple as this.
The enemy has got to keep getting hurt.
Every day he stalls at Panmunjom has gotta be a day that costs him good.
The more pain, the more casualties he suffers,
the easier the job our negotiators are gonna have
and the sooner this thing will end.
Now, tomorrow we'll be moving up to the MLR, the Main Line of Resistance.
Good luck, men.
That's all I have, Corporal.
All right, you guys, fall in outside.
You and you, right here, and the rest of you guys,
line up on these two.
Follow me.
- How far are we from the MLR? - Oh, about five miles.
Hold it. You're in here, Loomis.
- Raymond is sleeping. - I got a new man for Van Horn.
- I take. He have job work. - Okay.
Charlie will take care of you.
Okay, let's go.
- I show you picture, beautiful girl. You keep. - Get away from the fence!
What? Are you crazy?
- All right, Mama-san, just take it easy. - She is no mother.
Smells bad here.
GI,
welcome to Korea.
I hope you don't die.
Here.
First squad, third platoon?
- Yeah. - Are you Sergeant Van Horn?
- Yeah. Are you a replacement? - That's right. The name is Loomis.
Hey, hold the racket. I'm sorry. What?
Name's Loomis, Roy Loomis.
Okay, Loomis. Glad to have you with us.
- Thank you. - Who's the kid?
Oh, Charlie, he's...
One of the guys in the squad looks out for him. His people are dead.
- Oh. - So you're in the first squad, huh?
- Yeah. - Showalter's your squad leader.
- He's over by the jeep. Go report. - Right.
Hey, I didn't tell you guys to quit. Come on! Let's go.
We haven't lost a war yet, but we sure are pussyfooting our way through this one.
How long have you been in the army, Crotty?
1937, but I'm thinking about quitting.
What would you do?
Well, I'd...
You better stick with it. You'll stay out of jail.
Yeah, that's what my mother says.
You are still here because of the dishonest tactics
employed by imperialist negotiators.
The People's Army of China desires peace. You desire peace.
Yet, because Wall Street does not desire peace,
each morning's sun shines upon the bodies of young...
What a station.
One lousy beat-up record, and for a commercial, the Communist Manifesto.
Yeah, you know, I like that old Dragon Lady. She's sexy.
- Who? - She's on their loudspeakers up at the MLR.
- Loudspeakers? - Yeah.
This is a crazy war. She plays music for us. It's very romantic.
This baby's ready.
Baby?
Yeah, what's saying?
What was that?
Endore.
Where's he going?
To work. You want some?
No, no. Where?
Out behind their lines.
Alone?
Every night.
- I'll see you around, huh? - Yeah.
- Hello. - Hi.
I love you.
You got trouble, GI? Come on, I fix.
Come on. I show you place you can get through fence.
No worry. No MP.
Sweetheart, you know what my trouble is?
- I good. I fix. - I can't even believe I'm here.
Hey, how about some quiet, huh?
- What do you think is happening up there? - Nothing much.
Not as long as the politicians are still jabbering away there.
Now, any time things go sour at Panmunjom,
that's when we really get slammed.
Peiping Radio always tells Crotty what's going on.
- Hey, still got that sandpaper, huh? - Is there coffee in the weapons carrier?
- Yes, sir. - All right, you guys, mount up! Let's go!
Yeah.
- You all set? - Yes, sir.
Looks like we ain't gonna get there before dawn.
- How's AT&T doing? - What's that?
And they say we're capitalists!
- Was that a mine? - No, they just sent season's greetings.
That's all.
I guess they know we're coming.
Yeah, they dropped that one to remind us we're not out for a Sunday drive.
If they thought we were worth it, they might give us three, four, maybe a dozen more.
Their artillery's zeroed in on this stretch.
There's not a thing we can do about it except keep moving, which I wish we'd do.
I'll tell you something. I first got over here, my wife sent me a letter,
a little clipping from our hometown newspaper.
I don't know what she had in mind, but, anyway, this writer said
that the Chinese army had to get hopped up on opium before they could stage an attack,
that they had lousy clothes, worse equipment and no discipline at all.
God, oh!
All right, Showalter, get your squad together, follow me.
All right, let's dance.
Keep the guys here. I'm gonna check with the Captain. I'll be right back.
Other side of these sandbags is no man's land.
See that ridge?
- The first one? - No, the big, dark one.
That's the Chinese.
We got an outpost about 200 yards straight out.
You'll be able to see it during the day.
Hey, what's that light?
Ah, they got a beacon over there at Panmunjom.
Wanna make sure nobody lobs a shell over there by mistake.
When you're out on patrol, you learn how to get your bearings by it.
Welcome back, Captain Pratt, and all of you who have returned.
To those who are replacing dead or wounded...
- That's the old Dragon Lady. ... or men now in the embrace
of their sweethearts in America...
She'll tell you whether we got scrambled eggs...
- welcome to the Main Line of Resistance. ... or sunny-side up tomorrow.
I wonder how many of you in the coming weeks will die for somebody's dividend.
Well, we'll try to make your journey on as pleasant as we can.
But now we have a delightful selection for your listening pleasure.
Hope she's got some Charlie Parker tonight.
- Drop dead! - We want to hear her voice!
They got the Dragon Lady. We got bigmouth!
We're on the wrong side!
Yeah, well, as long as them loudspeakers are chewing at each other, we ain't.
We got the same bunkers as last time.
I need you and three members of your squad for patrol tonight.
You pick them and meet me at the CP in about 15 minutes.
Keep two men on the line all night. Rest of you guys can flake out.
Crotty, you and Loomis have from 12:00 to 2:00.
Hey, Loomis, you and me are on guard from 12:00 to 2:00. There ain't nothing to it.
- What's patrol like? - Ah, it's real easy.
You work slow, stay on the path, keep your eyes and ears open.
If you get caught in a flare, freeze, and just hope they don't see you.
- What about their patrol? - Oh, no sweat.
You run into one, it's real simple.
Throw all your grenades, fire every round you got, and run.
Oh, yeah?
Hey, Charlie. Hey, say, Raymond.
- He'll take that bunk. - Yeah, sure.
- He's tired. - Kids need their sleep.
What was that?
- I said, ''Kids need their sleep.'' - You're right, absolutely right.
Go to sleep and I'll be back in the morning.
I no tired. When I go with you? Soon?
We'll see.
Hey, hey, fall on in, Belotti.
Must have added another step.
- Where's my socks? - Where's Van Horn?
He's over at the CP.
Well, somebody tell him, if he's going to be in Ruby tonight, that I'll be there sometime.
- Them poor Chinamen. - Boy, how long has that guy been here?
A little less than a year. I remember the first day he joined the outfit.
- I remember thinking he was afraid. - Boy, you are a red-hot judge of character.
First thing he did was to volunteer for two-man patrols.
Then one night he went out on his own.
Yeah, like AWOL but in the wrong direction.
Captain liked the information he brought back, so he let him go again.
At least he never stopped him.
You know, I used to wonder about that guy.
I'm sure glad he's on our side.
- Come on. - Okay, I'm watching.
What's the story?
We're trying to locate a buddy of ours, took a shot at Doyle this morning.
- But he's not buying. - Yeah, well, he'll take a crack at it.
Yeah, he's got the helmet in his sights and a finger on the trigger right now.
I can feel it. The finger's getting itchy.
Yeah, the finger's getting itchy.
I'm gonna tantalise him now.
- Did you see him? - I didn't see a thing, Crotty.
- The sun's all wrong. - Ah, Fresno, you wasn't watching!
- Yes, I was. - All right.
We'll try again tomorrow after chow.
Now, at 2300 hours corps artillery is gonna fire a mission
on that supply dump that Endore spotted.
We'll probably hear it go over.
We'll observe and report back the effects of the barrage.
SOP on the patrol formation. Observe radio silence.
Password tonight's ''Yankee,'' countersign's ''Stadium.''
Crotty, I saw that training film, too, so knock off that phoney coughing, will you?
I'm telling you, I'm sick.
And I'm telling you, one cough out of you out there,
and I'll cut your throat with my rusty bayonet.
Now, come on. Get your squad ready to go in half an hour.
Get to it.
This is Snooper One, over.
Gibraltar Red Easy, this is Snooper One.
Have reached objective.
All right, let's bug slowly.
Hey.
Hey. Hey. Hey.
My fish on ground. Black smoke, grass burning everywhere.
Hey, take it easy. Now talk English.
- You wanna talk about it? - Knock it off, will you, Chaplain?
- Well, the kid's having a bad dream. - So? I was having a good one.
We'll talk about it in the morning, okay?
All right?
- Hey, your mail. - Well, thank you, Charlie.
Okay. I got to get Raymond mail.
How would you like to toss the ball around?
- Okay, I try. - All right.
Hey, guys, can we borrow those mitts a minute?
You say there's a battalion here?
And a brand-new mortar battery right here?
That's right.
They're building up a new supply dump about here.
- What about their security? - It's there. Plenty strong, too.
I had some time, so I went by Sheba.
They've got a new two-man listening post about here.
One of them was asleep.
You don't suppose you could recheck this for me tonight, do you?
What for?
All right. I'm gonna send this on to Battalion.
And I'm also putting through a follow-up on your commendation.
I'm seeing to it that it goes through soon.
That's all right, Captain.
Ten-hut!
Soldier, haven't you been taught to call attention when a superior officer enters?
- I forgot. - Well, be sure you remember it the next time.
At ease.
Colonel, this is the man I was telling you about.
Endore, sir.
Bastogne in the dead of winter and not a sniffle.
- Mortars here? - Tell the Colonel, Endore.
Dug in solid, too.
Colonel, I don't suppose you've had a chance to read the recommendation.
I have.
How long have you been here, Endore?
- Ten months. - Ten months, what?
Ten months straight.
- When was your last R and R? - I... I was just...
- Just in reserve. - That's not what I asked you, soldier.
Well, I have the power to... To do...
Colonel, he hasn't had a chance to get any sleep yet.
- Take him off patrol for a while. - I'll do that, sir.
Your men need a little work on military courtesy.
Yes, sir.
Otherwise, all right. A valuable man.
Take care of him and yourself.
Thank you, sir.
- You sure about this? - Well, I could...
I could check tonight, sir, if you wished, sir.
Better get some rest.
- This war is going on for a while. - Ten-hut.
Raymond, you've gotta say ''sir'' to men like the Colonel,
especially when they're Battalion Commander.
- I don't want to go to Japan. - You won't.
- He... I just got back in the line. - Don't worry.
Now listen to this.
''At great risk to his personal safety,
''he consistently exercised individual initiative,
''making perilous night probes into enemy territory.
''On numerous occasion, he engaged the enemy in hand-to-hand... "
That's the way the commendation begins.
He said something about not going on patrol.
Well, you don't go on patrols with the others.
You better get some sleep if you want to recheck that mortar battery tonight.
- I can't. - Sure you can.
You're letting it go up here. Bring it down.
Okay. Right here.
All right.
- Fresno tells me you're from the North. - Pyongyang.
- Did they kill your people? - You.
Jet firebomb. I run. I see home fire.
- Gee, I'm sorry. - Okay. It mistake.
How did you meet Endore?
I work for girls in the city. He and me talk.
He tell, he give me better job. Belong him. Join army.
- Oh, speak of the devil. - Devil?
- Morning. Loomis, isn't it? - Yeah, that's right, sir.
Come on, Charlie.
Loomis.
- Sir? - Leave that kid alone. He belongs to Endore.
- What do you mean? - Endore's a valuable man.
You must know that by now.
- Sir, I was just showing the boy... - Just stay away from Charlie.
Endore is nobody to fool with.
Okay, Loomis?
- Karl Marx is improving. - He's been getting a lot of practise lately.
Give me a butt, huh?
I wonder if he's got one of those skinny moustaches that hangs down?
I wonder if any of them has.
You go on patrol and it's like crawling around in your own backyard.
And those three nights I was at the listening post, I never heard one.
- Yeah, and dandy thing they didn't hear you! - Charlie.
I remember the first one I saw.
In a flare. He got scared and stood up, kind of an old guy.
He saw me and he stared. I looked at him.
And I think I'd still be looking at him if he hadn't started to run.
You see them every night, Endore. What are they like?
Young.
How do you kill a man with a knife?
I'll tell you.
It takes knowledge and practise.
And I've got good eyes.
Often, he'll be looking right at me and not see me, but I'll see him.
Then, if you know where to put the knife, it's...
It's not difficult.
And afterwards, how do you feel?
How do you feel?
- Get the first-aid kit, Charlie. - You get hit?
Hey, if it's a wound, report it! It's worth a Purple Heart.
You want a Purple Heart, Crotty? Just keep talking.
Hey, you better get to the aid station.
No aid station. They're coming.
Tonight, tomorrow night, soon.
It means they'll have to beef up Outpost Marilyn.
- Yeah, it's our turn. - Well, it's a change anyway.
What's the matter? You don't look happy. You ought to. It's your chance.
- How do you know they're coming? - I read their mail, Loomis.
All clear to the Outpost.
- All right, follow me. - Let's go.
What was that?
Rats.
There's all kind of cans and stuff out there.
It's a great warning system if they get by the trip flares, huh?
You know it.
Anybody coming up that slope is up to his butt in garbage.
The General, he...
He don't care how sloppy it is on their side.
- You know everything, don't you? - What?
I wasn't talking to you. Where did they get that record?
They got it at the PX.
Come here.
There's a new man out there.
I'm supposed... I'm supposed to act like I'm used to it?
You're supposed to act like a squad leader.
I'll buy you a drink tomorrow.
It's when she stops playing,
that's when we screw on our belly buttons.
Sergeant Van Horn, Captain's come up to check the position.
He wants to see you in here.
Right.
Gibraltar Red. This is Gibraltar Red Easy Six. Over.
This is Gibraltar Red Easy Six. How do you hear me? Over.
Gibraltar Red Easy Six. Roger. Out.
Battalion loud and clear, Captain.
- We're all set, sir. - Good.
Endore, what do you think?
I think you ought to go back to the MLR.
Find yourself a hole, man.
See anything?
Stand by searchlights and flares.
Check Charlie and Fox Company and see if they got any patrols out.
Gibraltar Blue Charlie, this is Gibraltar Red Easy Six. Over.
Negative on patrols, Captain.
- Then flares. - Not yet.
We'll be able to see in a second.
All right. Good work.
Two minutes.
Easy Six.
It's Captain Pratt, sir.
Wally, go easy with your flares. Let's not look jumpy.
What?
Well, if I send more people to help your people,
where would you put them when they got there, which they wouldn't?
You've got about two hours before getting nervous.
Maybe they're not coming.
Maybe they'll just pound us to pieces, and then play
I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now.
You ever been in one like this before, Doug?
- No, sir. - Neither have I.
- Flares. - Flares!
Lights! Turn on the lights and request final protective fire!
Hey!
All right, we're pulling out!
We're pulling out!
All right, we're pulling out!
Halt.
Stars.
Stripes. Help me. Help me.
Wait.
Oh, my leg.
The enemy was turned back at the MLR.
They didn't want the ground they gained. They just wanted to give us a hard time.
My knee is badly sprained, but I'm still useful around here,
and I'm working as a clerk for the supply sergeant for the time being.
That's why this letter is being typed.
My first combat is something
I'll never forget.
I'll write you about it later.
I don't think
I'll be as scared the next time.
Hey, Loomis. Hey, you're in supply now.
Why don't you pull some strings, get us some air mattresses,
requisition some booze?
All right. What don't you drink?
Hey, you know, you're right.
Hiya, boy.
He doesn't want it.
Why can't I do something nice for this kid?
What are you afraid of?
I'm not afraid. Lf...
If Crotty had seen you chicken, he'd have killed you.
Why didn't you kill me?
It really doesn't matter. I like you this way.
Hey. Hey! Don't mess with that guy.
So all those kids are tough, the ones who ain't starved to death.
In Pusan, they were eating things off the street.
All right, what's your hero been saying about me?
Did he tell you that a man kills?
What about when peace comes, Charlie? When the war ends?
Raymond said maybe it not end.
Well, it will, one day.
The fighting is going to stop. It's got to.
Things will return to normal, and you'll start school.
You want to go to school, don't you?
- School? - Sure.
To learn things, to make friends.
Raymond and I good friends.
We go away. We live in mountain. We build house.
Where? In America?
Not America. Here.
He said that you'd build a house here? In Korea?
Sure.
Well, he can't make a promise like that.
One day we'll all be going home, and he'll have to go home, too.
Raymond do what he like.
Well, he lied to you, Charlie.
He'll have to go back.
He not go back. He not lie! You lie!
Charlie,
what's the matter with it?
You no talk to me.
You stay away!
Boy, you leave that bird alone.
Give it to me.
I've been talking to Charlie.
He thinks you're gonna stay here with him after the war ends.
He also said something about a house in the mountains.
If you really care about that boy,
you've got to tell him the truth.
That he's got to go to an orphanage right here.
His clothes may not be anything special.
The food they give him will probably be just enough to keep him going.
But there'll be other children there,
and he'll play games, children's games.
And there'll be a teacher.
If you don't put that boy where he belongs, I will.
I mean that, and I'll go to the Colonel if I have to.
But I don't want to.
It's important to Charlie that it comes from you.
Do you understand that? You.
Butt out.
Butt out, or I'll kill you.
Hey. Smell that.
It's all right. Dan?
It's all right. It's him that smells.
All right, here you go. Read it and sign after your name.
- What's up? - You'll maintain posts throughout the day.
It's a ceasefire.
- Here. - Sign there.
It's a mirage.
''After 2200 hours there will be no hostile acts
''by any of the Armed Forces of the United Nations.
''I have read and understand the foregoing.''
We're really voting to go to Manchuria.
Your signature signifies that you have read andIor heard the order and understand it.
I don't understand anything. Is this really happening?
It's not over until 10:00 tonight, so let's not have a pig rush.
Crotty, Crotty.
It's over!
Hey, it's over.
Go on home. It's over!
It's over!
But do I believe it? It's over.
Go on home!
I'm gonna get stoned.
Charlie, it's over.
The war is over, Charlie.
Yeah, somebody ought to give Karl Marx the word. That guy burns me.
Oh, God.
Medic! Medic!
Medic!
Man, easy. Easy with him.
- Hold me. - All right, take it easy, kid.
Take it easy. You're gonna be okay.
Ask me something, anything at all.
- What's your name? - Joshua.
- How old are you? - Ask me something else.
Where are you from?
- Keep on asking me. - Where are you from?
- Wait, where's my bandana? - It's over there.
- We've got it. - My father gave that to me.
Did he?
- Ask me how old I am. - How old are you?
God, I'm so scared.
Hey! Hey!
Hey, can you hear me, huh? Can you hear me, you dirty...
Hey! What do you think you're doing?
Get back there!
- Karl Marx got Fresno. - Shut up. Get back there.
Come on. Come on.
A sniper got Hugasian, sir.
And these men tried to get even? Is that right?
As far as I know, sir.
Uncover him.
Now I'm gonna have to write a letter to the parents of this man
describing the circumstances of his death.
I don't like writing these letters,
and I intend this to be my last one.
Now, you've all signed the ceasefire order.
Until 2200 hours you are still at war.
Now, protect yourselves accordingly and initiate no action!
Is true, war stop?
He's trying to send you away
to a place where they'll hit you if you break one little rule.
But they don't know who you are.
What time is it?
- 9:00. - One more hour.
No more Dragon Lady. She must have taken off for Moscow.
You know, I've been thinking.
This here war has lasted three years, one month, and two days.
One day too much for Fresno.
Dan, what are you going to do when you go home?
Are you gonna go back to a farm?
Why is it all you Yankees think we're all farmers
and belong to the KKK, huh?
No, my daddy's got a gas station.
Hey...
- Hey, ask me what I'm gonna do. - All right.
- Well, ask me. - Okay.
- You wanna know what I'm gonna do? - Yeah.
''It's hard to believe it's really over.''
I hope...
You wait here.
Sir, I need to talk to you.
Go ahead.
Could you come outside for a minute?
It's important.
Well, what is it?
- Sir, this is Loomis. - Well, what is it, Loomis?
Go ahead, tell him.
Sir, I just saw Endore.
He had his knife and that stuff he puts on his face when he goes out.
I saw him.
He took Charlie with him this time. They went out.
I don't understand. You're saying ''out''? He went out tonight?
Doesn't he understand there's a ceasefire order?
Yes, sir. He signed the order just like the others.
You wouldn't be trying to kid me, now would you, Loomis?
No, sir.
My God, man.
Oh, boy, this is impossible.
Does anybody else know about this, Loomis?
Yes, Crotty, Showalter. I told them.
Well, I don't want you to tell anybody else, and I mean anybody.
Must be some kind of a mistake.
Oh, boy.
Anybody find out anything?
No, sir. No one's seen a trace of either of them.
Well, that's it.
Let's shake hands anyway.
Crotty.
Hey, look at this.
If he's out there and them Chinese spot him...
What would happen?
To the ceasefire?
I don't know. I don't even want to think about it.
If they even saw that boy...
Well, if he is out there,
wouldn't he come back in the morning like always?
No.
I don't think so.
Here, Charlie.
Come here, Charlie.
Sir, we better notify Battalion. Tell them we have a man missing.
I don't wanna open up that can of beans. Battalion notifies Regiment,
Regiment notifies Division, Division notifies Corps.
There's no telling what they'll do with this at Panmunjom.
Who gave you people permission to leave your posts?
- Corporal Bohnhoff, sir. - Well, you tell him to forget it!
Yes, sir.
All right.
I agree with Loomis.
I don't think we can count on his coming back on his own,
but we'll wait until sunrise.
- Captain, that zone's demilitarised. - So?
Nobody's supposed to be out there after midnight.
All right.
We'll go as a graves detail.
We'll need a litter and some markers.
Sir, I'm a 20-year man. I don't have a black mark yet.
Luther, if that boy disturbs the ceasefire
before you see your wife and little girl again,
it's going to be another 20 years.
Sometimes we have to take the initiative.
Now, the way I figure it...
Now, if anybody feels different about this, I want you to tell me.
If he's out there,
he's still gonna be in our sector till morning.
He's not gonna go where he doesn't know the mine fields.
But comes daylight, he's gonna take cover.
He's not gonna walk around in the daylight.
We're not gonna find him out there, sir. There's too many places for him to hide.
I don't think he's hiding.
Sir, I'd like to go. I think I can talk to the boy.
All right.
We'll need a man with a radio,
but if there's any talking to do, I'm gonna do it.
Captain, nothing, sir.
- Give me those. - Yes, sir.
No, sir.
All right. Now, what are you gonna tell Lieutenant Sanders?
Well, you're going out to look for them men
that didn't return from that last patrol we sent out.
- And what else? - And that you'll be calling in every hour.
All right. We've waited long enough. Let's go.
Endore!
What'll the Chinese think, sir? They may have observers out here.
They'll think we're trying to find one of our wounded, which we are.
One of ours, Loomis. Mark it.
Come on, mark it. What's the matter with you?
Nothing.
I've just never seen them in daylight.
Come on.
Endore!
I know a village that's been burnt out.
The people are gone,
but some of the houses are all right.
And outside,
the snow will be falling, cold and white.
And the world will be so quiet.
The sun on the snow. Cold, clean air.
And in the spring, wild flowers.
Endore!
And I'll show you my secret.
Secret?
Don't you wonder why
no one's ever seen me at night?
It's because I'm invisible.
The truth can blind.
Endore!
There he is, Captain.
Raymond.
Raymond, it's Captain Pratt.
When you didn't come back this morning,
we figured you might need some help.
I won't be coming back anymore. I'm not ready.
I don't think you understand about the ceasefire order, son.
We're supposed to stay back behind the lines now.
It's the rules.
The war is over.
Which war?
Come on down now, son.
You and the boy, you must be hungry.
I've got some candy bars here in my pocket.
Listen, Raymond, your DSC came through.
How about that, huh? I knew that would make you happy.
The General himself is coming down to pin it on you tomorrow.
Raymond, why they come?
Because he doesn't understand.
You not come up!
We suffer because he doesn't understand.
We're just here to help you, Raymond.
You're confused. I understand.
We all understand.
We've all been confused at times, Raymond.
But you'll come back with us now.
Won't you, son? The war is over.
There'll be another!
Now, it's all right now, son.
Raymond, put that knife down.
Drop that knife, Raymond.
Now, you're a soldier in the United States Army, Raymond,
and I'm your commanding officer.
I am commanding.
The command is that I am commanding the commandment.
- I am commanding. - Drop that weapon.
- Wait a minute, Captain. - No.
I am commanding.
Now, Raymond and I are friends.
He wouldn't do anything to me,
not after all we've been through together.
Wait!
Captain, we gotta get out of here. They'll have heard that shot for miles.
Charlie! Charlie!
Mark him.
Soldier!
You all right, soldier?
No.
