the guns and the ammo.

Look!

How many times did I tell

you to keep your pot on?

Red Dog 2 calling Sunrise 6.

Come in Sunrise 6.

Come in!

I got him sir, I got him.

- Who?

- Captain Humphrey.

Humphrey? You son of a...

Who knocked him off?

Who fired?

Somebody shot him. Who was it?

It was me.

If I were you lieutenant,

I'd sit down.

Somebody out there heard you.

He's givin' you the finger.

What are you talking about, Montana?

You haven't been around much

lately, have you lieutenant?

He's not gonna hurt me.

These snipers...

they specialized at officers.

Alright, stand there. It's

your funeral, not mine.

I wish I'd get that snipers buddy.

He's sitting out there

now, watching us.

It's not healthy.

But how to find him,

that's the question.

Give me that phone.

What for, she won't work!

Right, stand up.

- Me? Right here?

- Right here.

- What are you doing?

- I'm perfectly safe.

40 yards, that sniper could

of shot me twice already.

He didn't want me, he wanted

to kill communications.

I wanna give him the second chance.

Now ain't you something.

Watch the grass.

Watch the bushes.

If you see any movement,...

fire, but fire high.

Don't kill him.

Scare him. I don't want the corpse.

I want live informations.

I wanna prisoner, you understand?

Hold your fire there! Hold it!

Don't shout him!

- What's the matter with you?

- What did I do? What did I do?

I told you I wanted a prisoner,

not garbage. Why did you fire?

- Instinct.

- I saw him, he had his hands on his head.

Alright, alright. These

Gooks, I don't trust them.

They carry pistols in their

hats, it's been known.

I changed my mind Montana.

We can use you.

You're not expendable.

You're not expendable at all.

Just don't forget I'm

fighting for the colonel.

Montana, go back and

relieve sergeant Killian,

for about 5 minutes.

He's rear security.

Tell him to hustle up

here and report to me.

Look, I'd just well stick close

to the colonel if you don't mind.

I do mind. Now get with it.

You don't trust me around the jeep? You

think me and colonel are gonna take off?

Address me as sir and

keep your mouth shut.

Emotional, are we?

- Get down! Get down!

- Where is Killian?

Snatch party.

Cover me.

Don't do it! It's murder out there.

They're waiting for you.

Do as I say.

Killian!

Where are you Killian?

What are you doing here?

I can't leave him. He was my friend!

He took care of me. I got to find him.

Stop it!

This is all you're gonna find.

You can't waste of time Zwickley.

Go back to the jeep.

Who's gonna take Killian's

place, is if I have to ask?

You.

Alright sir. Any further

instructions sir?

Stay 30 yards back.

Don't sit. Don't stop.
