The Monuments Men Page #4
but they've taken everything with them,
so we have to get as close
to the front as we can.
Preston,
you and Campbell
head towards Belgium.
Specifically, Ghent.
- What's in Ghent?
- It used to be the Altarpiece.
They took the Ghent Altarpiece?
I'll go with Garfield.
No, Garfield, you and Jean-Claude
get as close to Germany as you can,
to the city of Aachen.
We'll leave in the morning.
Why don't you take
Sam from Newark with you,
and I'll head up to my old
stomping ground, Bruges?
There's a Madonna there
I used to see when I was young.
Looks like we're gonna be
together, buddy.
These are German,
but they might fit.
That one will do just fine.
Watch this.
Any news of Granger?
Well, word is they liberated Paris,
so we should know something soon.
Turn that knob right there.
Well, I'll be blowed.
See, I'm not just a pretty face.
How's it going, Edison?
Would you take that radio
over there to the boys?
Let's see if this damn thing works.
You bet.
Frank, I wanted to say thanks.
For what?
For another chance.
Donnie, we've all screwed up
on some level.
Yours was just...
Just at a high level.
You're here because you're
the best man for the job.
Not charity?
Well, a little.
Monuments Men Radio
is about to go live.
I hope we play music.
Calling London,
calling London and all the ships at sea.
We read you loud and clear.
How far will this thing reach?
We'll find out tomorrow.
Roger that.
Are all the fellas there?
They are.
All right, listen up, fellas.
I think you should know the truth
as I see it.
This mission was never designed
to succeed.
It's, uh...
If they were honest,
they would tell us that.
They'd tell us that with this many
people dying, who cares about art?
They're wrong, because that's exactly
what we're fighting for,
for our culture and for our way of life.
You can wipe out
a generation of people,
you can burn their homes to the ground,
and somehow they'll still come back.
But if you destroy their achievements
and their history,
then it's like they never existed.
Just ash floating.
That's what Hitler wants.
And it's the one thing
we simply can't allow.
I'll see you in the morning.
Now I'm depressed.
I want to make a toast.
Uh-oh.
And I'm proud to be a
Monuments Man.
When this all broke out, I wanted to
be a flier pilot... A fighter pilot.
But I got bad eyes,
my hearing is not good.
Right here is the only way
I get into this war.
Now, I'm not some
New York socialite,
I haven't won any awards
like all of you, but...
But I'm guessing you feel the same.
This is our time.
and I thank you.
Screw the Germans.
