The Dirty Dozen: The Fatal Mission Page #2

---

Ain't war hell, lieutenant?

And when the Germans

surrendered in 1918,

the French brought them

down to a railroad car

in the forest of Compigne.

Little bit before

my time, I'm afraid.

And when the French

surrendered in 1940,

Hitler ordered that same railroad

car from the old Orient Express

brought back

to the exact same spot.

Oh, so that the French could

feel the bayonet this time?

Exactly. Now, that

car was number 2419

and it's in Berlin right now.

Now, the thinking is

that those Germans will blow up

that damn thing

before they'd ever

surrender in it again.

But how does?

After 2419 comes 2420.

The founding fathers

of the new Fourth Reich

will arrive in Istanbul

in car number 2420.

Now we know where this car is now?

Lt. Campbell's come up

with some new air recon

photos that indicates

they may be hidden

in a train yard in Munich.

Lieutenant Campbell apparently

is a very bright young lady.

Why, she's brilliant.

You know, she grew up

in this German aristocracy

because her father was a Foreign

Service officer for 30 years.

Hell, Marshal Rommel

used to bounce her on his knee.

Before or after she turned 18?

Now, now.

Demchuk, Dravko.

Death by hanging.

D'Agostino, Carmine.

Death by hanging.

Collins...

Frederick.

Unsentenced.

Ricketts, Tom.

Unsentenced.

Hamilton, Joseph.

Death by hanging.

Hoffman, Thomas.

Fifty years' hard labour.

Wilson, Lonnie.

Forty years' hard labour.

Echevarria, Roberto.

Fifty years' hard labour.

Get back in line.

The major said

there would be one more.

Well, maybe the major was wrong.

We don't have a dozen, then.

- Hey, Joey.

- Hey, Stern.

Pushing your luck,

aren't you, Joe?

All right.

Ye of such little faith.

Stern, Joseph.

Unsentenced.

You started off as a train engineer

back home, Demchuk.

You know, that talent

may come in handy again.

I was good engineer, sir.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, but before you handed

the train in at the end of the day,

you started robbing passengers.

I was good train robber too, sir.

You want to rob a train, major?

Oh, no, no, no.

I want to stop one

and pick off some bad people.

I pick off lots of bad people

in my life.

I bet you have, Dravko.

I just bet you have.

All right, Holt.

What the hell is

going on, sergeant?

I don't know, sir. We usually only

get this when there's a hanging.

Hamilton's got a gun, right?

That's right.

Knocked out the MPs guarding

it and pinned us down.

We may have to kill that boy.

Oh, that may take some doing.

He killed a white woman.

He's not getting anywhere.

Now we got that armoured truck back there.

We'll blow him apart if he tries to get down.

What are you gonna do?
