:50:00
Joe?
:50:04
Well, it's
a big risk.
:50:05
What else is
there to do?
:50:09
Frank?
:50:10
Maybe we invest
6 men.
:50:12
Maybe we save
600.
:50:15
Lieutenant Butterfield?
:50:17
In my opinion, sir,
:50:18
they sent this Nip over
to suck us in.
:50:20
The lieutenant
doesn't make sense.
:50:22
Sergeant, you're
way off base.
:50:23
Sergeant, this war isn't
gonna last forever, and--
:50:25
It's a nice
thought, sir.
:50:27
Colonel?
:50:28
There may be an ambush.
I don't know.
:50:30
But this Nip
isn't in on it.
:50:31
He's tired,
and he's hungry,
:50:33
and, well, he wants
to live and go home,
:50:35
like the rest of us.
:50:37
Stinkin' cold!
:50:42
It'll take us
about 2, 2 1 /2 hours
:50:44
to get in there.
Anybody got a match?
:50:46
Sir, if there's
gonna be a patrol,
:50:48
I'd like to--
:50:49
Joe, you got some experienced
scouts in your company.
:50:50
Yes, sir. That's why I
asked Lieutenant Anderson
:50:53
to come over.
:50:54
Anderson?
:50:56
Well, it's
the same old question...
:50:58
gambling
the lives of a few
:51:00
against the lives
of many.
:51:05
I want you to take out
a small patrol.
:51:07
Use this Jap
as a guide,
:51:08
and Johnson here'll
go along to interpret.
:51:11
Hello.
:51:12
Sir.
:51:13
Now, I want prisoners.
You understand me?
:51:15
No ""yes, buts...""
and ""howevers.""
:51:17
Aye, sir.
:51:18
McCreavy, bring
that Nip in here.
:51:22
Can you fire
an M-1 ?
:51:24
I shot expert, sir.
:51:25
Take this writer
along with you.
:51:27
He's pining to get
his head blown off.
:51:29
I suppose
I'll be the villain
:51:30
of your great
American war novel.
:51:32
Well, sir--
:51:33
Don't tell me.
:51:34
Jump off
as soon as possible.
:51:37
You've got 8 hours
and 5 5 minutes.
:51:38
I'll lay a harassing fire
on the cave area.
:51:40
Let me know when
you want it lifted.
:51:41
Yes, sir. Uh...
:51:43
do I have to take
the sergeant along?
:51:45
Up to you.
:51:46
Oh, take him along,
Lieutenant.
:51:48
It isn't every patrol
:51:49
that has its own
private historian.
:51:50
Here's your Nip,
Anderson.
:51:55
Shimpai shinai de.
:51:57
Old Willie here
doesn't look
:51:58
like a decoy,
now, does he?
