Band of Brothers

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

I thought I was gonna get killed instantly.

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

...or I'd come through probably 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...

...that 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 1 st Platoon?

- Our 1 st 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 Contentin Peninsula.

We've been fighting with the 502nd since we hit the ground.

You?

Oh, I've been...

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

Spread out!

Hey, fellas.

- Well, look who decided to show up, Floyd. - Hey, Luz.

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

- Get a load of this. You like that? - Yeah, it's the real stuff, eh?

- Yeah, of course. - You like this?

- 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?

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

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

- You 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. - Yeah, I ain't holding my breath.

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

Lt. Welsh is 1 st Platoon.

- Easy Company on the road! - Let's go! 1 st Platoon!

- Platoon! Move out! - 1 st Platoon, on your feet!

Let's go, 1 st Platoon!

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

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

Listen up! It'll be dark soon. I want light and noise discipline from here on.

No talking, no smoking and no playing grab-fanny with the man in front of you, Luz.

- So where we headed to, lieutenant, huh? - We're taking Carentan.

That sounds like fun.

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

Until we take Carentan, they're stuck on the sand.

General Taylor's sending the whole division.

"Remember, boys...

...give me three days and three nights of hard fighting...

...and you will be relieved."

Lieutenant. Lieutenant, I'll take point.

Cpl. Hoobler will be lead scout.

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

1 st Platoon, fall in behind Fox Company.

You people from 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? Hey, Blithe, Skinny, guess what.

Perconte, go back and pass the word to hold up.

Yes, sir.

- Hoobler, take Blithe. Go find F Company. - Yes, sir. Come on, Blithe.

Shit.

Did you send somebody?

Yeah, I got Hoobler and Blithe out there now.

Why are we stopped?

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

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

Damn mosquitoes.

What is it?

Shh.

- Flash. - Thunder.

- I can hear y'all all the way across the field. - You F Company?

That's right.

Where y'all been?

Blithe, go back to the lieutenant, tell him we found F Company.

- I'll figure out where these yokels are at. - Hey, who y'all calling a yokel?

He's dead, private.

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

Thought he-- I thought he had me.

Paratrooper?

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

- Well, there's one less to worry about. - Yeah.

That's edelweiss.

That only grows in the Alps above the tree line.

Which means he climbed up there to get it.

It's supposed to be the mark of a true soldier.

I want you to take the 1 st straight up the middle, hard and fast.

We have to move quickly.

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

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

Go, go! Go!

Fire!

- In the ditch! Down! Down! - Get 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?

- Let's get them out of there! - They're in the open, for Pete's sake!

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!

Go!

Spotter! Upstairs window! Left!

Follow me!

Get yourselves out of those trenches!

In the ditch! 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 right upper--

Medic! Pull him back!

Ah, shit!

Sniper! Thattaway! 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!

Tipper, take Liebgott, start clearing these buildings.

- Right. Come on, Joe, let's go. - 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 the hell 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!

Come on.

Move! Move! Move!

Get out of the street! Go! Go!

Lip!

Hey there, buddy.

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

Come on. Upsy-daisy.

Let's 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 here. Come on.

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

Ah, Jesus.

You hang in there, buddy. Okay, 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.

- Can we move him? - No.

Padre!

- In the name of the Father, the Son-- - Hey, Malark. 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!

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

Sergeant Farnsworth from Able Company, 501 st.

I'm here and I'm supposed to tell you...

...that we got it clear from here all the way to the north of them Krauts, sir.

Well, tell your CO 506 arrived in force and secured all positions south of you.

Yes, sir, I'll tell him. Come on, fat boy, let's go!

Lieutenant Winters.
