Band of Brothers

I never thought I'd get through D-Day, let alone the next phase.

I thought I'd be killed instantly.

I thought one of two things: a quick death...

...or I'd come through without a scratch.

I think everybody had fear. I think there's people that can handle fear.

I think I was probably one of them.

I think I was just as scared as anybody else, except I could think.

It's a feeling you would not let yourself down...

...and you would not let your comrades or your unit down.

We all had fear, but we all had training to know...

...you try to handle your fear...

...and work to accomplish what you're supposed to be doing.

Hey, it looks like what's-his-name.

You know, from 1st Platoon?

- Our 1st Platoon? - It sure does.

Blithe.

Hey, Blithe.

Blithe!

Keep moving! Get down!

Thought that was you.

You alone?

You're the first familiar faces I've seen.

I ain't surprised. They dropped us all over the peninsula.

We've been fighting with the 502nd since we got here.

You?

Oh, I've been...

...trying to find Easy. - Join the club.

Spread out!

Hey, fellas.

- Look who decided to show up, Floyd. - Hey, Luz.

- Thought we'd never find you. - You okay?

- Get a load of this. Like it? - It's real?

- Of course. - You like this?

Oh, nice. That's a beauty, sarge.

It's a hell of a poncho.

My Luger's gonna put you all to shame when I get it.

How was your jump?

- Missed the DZ. - Yeah, that goes without saying.

- I guess so. - Got any souvenirs to trade?

They're all ticking, unlike their previous owners. Got anything good?

Not yet.

So have we lost anybody?

Burgess took one in the face. Wynn got pinked in the behind.

- They're gonna be okay. - That's good.

- Run into Lt. Meehan on your travels? - No. Why?

Company HQ's still missing. They think the plane went down.

- They say he's gonna turn up. - I ain't holding my breath.

- Who's in command? - Winters for now.

Lt. Welsh is 1st Platoon.

- Easy Company on the road! - 1st Platoon!

- Platoon! Move out! - On your feet. Let's go, 1st Platoon!

- Easy's moving out. On your feet. - Let's go!

- Stand up, let's go! Here we go! - Today, people!

Listen! Lt'll be dark soon. Light and noise discipline from here on.

No talking, smoking or grab-fanny with the man in front of you.

- Where we headed to? - We're taking Carentan.

Sounds like fun.

It's the only place where armor from Omaha and Utah Beach can head inland.

Until we take Carentan, they're stuck. Taylor's sending the whole division.

"Remember, boys, give me three days and three nights of hard fighting...

...and you will be relieved."

Lieutenant, I'll take point.

Hoobler will be lead scout.

- Blithe, glad you could join us. - Thank you.

1st Platoon, fall in behind Fox Company.

2nd and 3rd Platoons, follow us. Shake a leg.

"Another thing to remember, boys: flies spread disease.

So keep yours closed."

Don't wake Jerry.

- Damn it. - What?

- We lost F Company, sir. - Again?

- We lost F Company. - Again?

- Blithe, Skinny, guess what. - Pass the word to hold up.

- Take Blithe and go find F Company. - Yes, sir. Come on, Blithe.

Shit.

- Did you send somebody? - Hoobler and Blithe.

Why are we stopped?

This is about officers crapping out on their training, Nix.

Come on. Let's get this show on the road.

Dang mosquitoes.

What is it?

- Flash. - Thunder.

- I can hear you across the field. - You F Company?

That's right.

Where you all been?

Blithe, go tell the lieutenant we found F Company.

- I'll find out where these yokels are. - Hey, who you calling a yokel?

He's dead, private.

- Did you find Fox Company? - Yes, sir.

Thought he... I thought he had me.

- Fallschirmjäger. - Paratrooper?

Division thinks there's a regiment of them holding Carentan.

Well, there's one less to worry about.

That's edelweiss.

That only grows in the Alps above the tree line.

He climbed up there to get it. It's said to be the mark of a true soldier.

Take the 1st straight up the middle. We have to move quickly.

I'll be right behind you with 2nd and 3rd.

- Go! - Let's go, 1st, let's go.

Go, go! Go!

Fire!

- In the ditch! Down! Down! Down! Down! - Incoming!

- Goddamn it. - Where the fuck is everybody?

- Where'd everybody go? - I have no idea!

Let's go, Easy! Get those MGs moving, will you?

- Get them out of there! - They're in the open!

Go! Go!

Get them going, Buck! Follow me, Easy!

Move out! Move out, men!

Go!

Move out! Move out!

Get yourselves out of that ditch!

We have men getting killed out there, Blithe!

Move! You got no cover there! Go!

Spotter! Upstairs window! Left!

Follow me!

Get out of those trenches!

- Down, down, down, down! - Incoming!

That's an MG42!

- Medic up! - No! Stay down! He's shot!

Get out of the dirt! Nazi!

There's one in the upper...

- Medic! - Pull him back!

Ah, shit!

Sniper! Thataway! Second floor left!

Ah, shit!

I need some covering fire. Ready, Luz?

Okay, I'm out.

Guarnere! Clear that sector on the right!

Hey, up with me!

- Shit! - Move, Luz! Here! High!

You okay, Shifty?

We gotta take that warehouse!

Shifty!

Hammer those windows.

Let's go! Move! Go! Go!

Start clearing these buildings. Two to a house.

Second two. Go! Go!

Houses on the right!

Check them and clear them!

Turn left! Bring it up!

Smash it.

Grenade! Luz, come on, Luz.

- Come on! - Close behind.

Shit!

They got us zeroed! Spread it out! Spread it out!

- They got us zeroed! - Go now!

- Get out of the street! - Get out of there!

They got us zeroed!

Get out of there! Go! Go!

Get the hell out of the street! Move!

Let's go! Go! Go!

- Take cover! - I need a hand over here!

Medic!

- Move over! - Through the window!

Come on. Let's get you out of here. Come on, boy!

Move! Move! Move!

Get out of the street! Go! Go!

Lip!

Hey, buddy.

You're okay, Lip. Everything's where it should be.

Come on. Upsy-daisy.

- Check up front. - Get Tipper up here with the bazooka.

- Check across the front. - Move on one!

Hello? Anybody there?

Tipper! Tip!

Tipper! Answer me! Tip!

- Joe? That you? - Looking good, Tip.

Looking real good. Come here, buddy. You gotta sit down. Come on.

Easy, easy. There you go. There you go.

Ah, Jesus.

You hang in there, buddy. We're gonna get you fixed up, all right?

Okay. Guys, you wanna give me a hand here? Come on.

Take the left flank! Take the left flank!

Got a bad one.

Padre!

- In the name of the Father, the Son... - You see what I'm seeing?

...is now and forever shall be, world without end. Amen.

- Crazy fools, the Irish. - You should know.

Smokey, the window. Let's go!

- Morning, sir. - What's your name, trooper?

Farnsworth from Able Company, 501st.

We got it clear from here all the way to the north of them Krauts.

Tell your CO 506 secured all positions south of you.

Sir, I'll tell him. Come on, let's go!

Lieutenant Winters.

- Yes, sir? - Is it safe to cross now?

- What's that, sir? - Is it safe to cross?

- We wanna move the wounded. - Yes, sir.

Okay.

Come on. Let's get them out of here.

There she is.

Plasma drip.

You're lucky it was a ricochet.

- Just caught a piece of it. - Stupid.

- What? - Nothing.

Walking wounded to the rear.

- You gonna be able to stay off it? - Doesn't look that way.

Well, you gotta try, huh?

What've we got planned?
