Looks like somebody built

a whole new ocean here.

We are supposed to be

at this coordinate.

Either this map is wrong

or all of a sudden I can't find my way

around the block.

The channel must have shifted

with the winter rains.

What's supposed to be land

is underwater.

- D'you want me to raise company?

- No, there's no need for that.

It's real simple. Either we can get

across going down this point of land

and it don't look good,

we go all the way back

and start over.

Over here!

Damn!

Somebody shot Rudolph.

Who do you think these canoes

belong to?

Us.

They belong to indigenous

personnel.

Don't you be f***ing

around with them.

Think they float?

Hell yes. They're pirogues. Cajuns

back there use them all the time.

Well, they ain't using them now.

What say we take 'em down

the bayou?

Yeah, I can deal with that,

the way my back feels.

We might make Catahoula tonight.

Put them women under martial law.

What women you talking about?

Spencer's running some ladies.

He's got some skirts waiting for us.

It's all set. Noleen and

her bayou queens.

Just a little something for morale.

Really?

Let me add, sergeant, that these

women are expecting some...

small unit military penetration.

I don't think we should take

the canoes. They're not ours.

That's right, they're not ours.

Let's get in 'em and take off.

Hold on, fungo.

Nobody gave you an order.

How else are we gonna get there?

Maybe you got a point there, Reece.

Hell yes, let's move.

Wait a minute, Reece.

How are the rightful owners

gonna get those boats back

when there's no other access

to the far shore?

Hell, we only need three of them.

They can use the other ones

to get 'em back.

A little R and R never hurts.

Catahoula, here we come.

What d'you say, sarge?

OK. Bowden, write 'em a note.

Yes, sir.

All right, get those steel pots off,

hook 'em on your belts.

Shape up now.

Shape up, Stuckey.

Get in the goddamn boat

and look like soldiers.

Come on, Bowden.

Get that oar.

Hey! Look over there.

There they are.

These must be their canoes.

Hey there, you men! Read the note!

We left you a note.

Dumb coon asses.

They don't understand.

I hope they find my note.

Maybe they only speak French.

Well, does anybody speak French?

Yeah. Voulez-vous f*** me?

Reece, knock that sh*t off.

We're bringing them back.

We're bringing them back.

STUCKEY:
Let 'em have it.

Take no prisoners.

Stuckey! A**hole!

Casper, get your boat over

to that point of land now.

Sarge!

Poole! Poole!

Get outta here.

Get outta here, Bowden.

What the f***'?

Hit it! Take cover.

They shot him! They shot him!

Spencer, over here. Over this way.

Jesus Christ, what's happenin'?
