00:04:16,056 --> 00:04:17,956
Take cover, gentlemen!

00:04:18,692 --> 00:04:21,026
[artillery shell whistles]

8
00:04:21,028 --> 00:04:22,794
Now!

9
00:04:22,796 --> 00:04:25,697
Where's your weapon?
    Getting it now, sir!

10
00:04:33,907 --> 00:04:37,442
[artillery shell whistles]

11
00:04:37,444 --> 00:04:38,977
Shit.

12
00:04:38,979 --> 00:04:41,647
I want all three platoon leaders
to get me bearings

13
00:04:41,649 --> 00:04:44,816
on where those mortars
    are coming from.

14
00:04:44,818 --> 00:04:46,318
Roger that.

15
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,487
HQ says they're 61s
coming in from Long Phuoc.

16
00:04:48,489 --> 00:04:50,088
Well, tell HQ they're wrong.

17
00:04:50,090 --> 00:04:52,291
They're 82s and they're
    coming in from Long Tan.

18
00:04:52,293 --> 00:04:54,993
Yes, sir. I shall inform HQ
of the error of their ways.

19
00:04:54,995 --> 00:04:56,161
Hmm.

20
00:04:56,163 --> 00:04:57,663
Four call signs, this is 4.

21
00:04:57,665 --> 00:04:59,598
Request urgent sitrep
on mortar bearings. Over.

22
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,133
We're under attack,

23
00:05:01,135 --> 00:05:03,168
and your first instinct
    is to get me a cup of tea?

24
00:05:03,170 --> 00:05:06,104
Get the hell out.
            Leave that!

25

[indistinct radio chatter]

26
00:05:10,344 --> 00:05:11,977
[officer] See you brought
    your tortoise, Morrie.

27
00:05:11,979 --> 00:05:13,979
He's a turtle. He's my mate.

28
00:05:13,981 --> 00:05:15,847
Your only mate.
[artillery shell whooshes]

29
00:05:19,019 --> 00:05:22,054
Come on, Murray!
    Oh, fucking hell!

30
00:05:24,191 --> 00:05:26,491
Is it incoming or outgoing?
[artillery shell whistles]

31
00:05:29,530 --> 00:05:31,463
Platoon leaders are working
on the bearings now, sir.

32
00:05:31,465 --> 00:05:34,266
Three minutes.
    [explosion booms]

33
00:05:34,268 --> 00:05:36,535
Maybe tell them to hurry
the fuck up. How about that?

34
00:05:36,537 --> 00:05:39,137
All four call signs, this is 4.

35
00:05:39,139 --> 00:05:41,006
We need those bearings now!
Over.

36
00:05:43,477 --> 00:05:45,177
I fold, boss.

37
00:05:45,179 --> 00:05:47,179
All right?

38
00:05:47,181 --> 00:05:49,815
I'll see your two.
    And I'll raise you five.

39
00:05:49,817 --> 00:05:51,616
That fire is incoming,
    Lieutenant Sharp.

40
00:05:51,618 --> 00:05:53,352
Keep your pants on, Sarge.

41
00:05:53,354 --> 00:05:56,355
Can't you see
we're in the middle of a game?

42
00:05:56,357 --> 00:05:58,423
[Sharp chuckles]

43
00:06:00,060 --> 00:06:02,094
[artillery shell whistles]

44
00:06:05,632 --> 00:06:07,265
Fuck!

45
00:06:10,404 --> 00:06:12,504
Private Grice,
call Major Smith.

46
00:06:12,506 --> 00:06:14,306
Tell him we have a bearing
of 54 degrees

47
00:06:14,308 --> 00:06:16,141
from 11 Platoon HQ
    on those mortars.

48
00:06:16,143 --> 00:06:17,476
Right away, Sarge.

49
00:06:17,478 --> 00:06:20,412
Lieutenant,
    we are under enemy attack.

50
00:06:20,414 --> 00:06:23,215
This could well be a move
to take the base.

51
00:06:23,217 --> 00:06:26,752
I suggest you order
    11 Platoon to stand to.

52
00:06:26,754 --> 00:06:29,654
Just give us a minute, Bob.
I'm cleaning up here!

53
00:06:32,693 --> 00:06:34,393
All of you!

54
00:06:34,395 --> 00:06:37,896
Get your weapons, man your
positions, and stand fucking to!

55
00:06:37,898 --> 00:06:39,598
That means you, Lieutenant!

56
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,833

59
00:06:51,011 --> 00:06:53,578
Need accurate
    triangulated bearings

60
00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:57,048
on incoming mortar rounds to
be able to direct return fire.

61
00:06:57,050 --> 00:06:58,917
Who keeps leaving the pins
in my map?

62
00:06:58,919 --> 00:07:00,385
I mean, honestly,

63
00:07:00,387 --> 00:07:02,220
is it that hard to clean up
    after a briefing?

64
00:07:02,222 --> 00:07:05,323
Any soldier not manning a radio,
out now!

65
00:07:11,799 --> 00:07:14,733
Senior officers excepted,
Colonel.

We're all good, mate.

71
00:07:26,914 --> 00:07:29,114
You know, the Kiwi artillery

72
00:07:29,116 --> 00:07:31,716
is going to light up
    the jack bastards

73
00:07:31,718 --> 00:07:34,219
as soon as they get
    a fix on 'em.

74
00:07:45,499 --> 00:07:48,133
No. We're under attack.

75
00:07:48,135 --> 00:07:50,669
Not here, we're not.

76
00:07:50,671 --> 00:07:52,604
Go on.

77
00:07:52,606 --> 00:07:54,739
Besides, if your number is up...

78
00:07:55,843 --> 00:07:57,843
may as well get a buzz on.

Sir! I have a bearing
    for those mortars.

83
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,193
Congratulations, Dave.

84
00:08:15,195 --> 00:08:16,928
You're the last platoon leader
to get it done.

85

[claps] Take a bow.

86
00:08:18,765 --> 00:08:20,832
Triangulate those bearings,
then call it in.

87

Isn't that
    the base gunner's job?

88
00:08:22,436 --> 00:08:24,503
No, Morrie, it's yours.

89
00:08:24,505 --> 00:08:27,839
You find the enemy and you
direct the artillery onto them.

90
00:08:27,841 --> 00:08:29,307
Yes, sir.

Maybe. Who's playing again?

94
00:08:37,451 --> 00:08:39,284
Col Joye and the Joy Boys.

95
00:08:39,286 --> 00:08:41,920
They're flying in
    tomorrow morning.

96
00:08:43,957 --> 00:08:46,358
You like Col Joye, don't you?
                Not really.

97
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,859
Hey, what about Little Pattie?

98
00:08:47,861 --> 00:08:49,394
You've got to like
    Little Pattie.

99

[chuckles] Yeah, she's an angel.

    that "Surfer Boy" song.

101
00:08:54,668 --> 00:08:57,168
God, she's flying in tomorrow.

102
00:08:57,170 --> 00:09:00,805
Little Pattie is?
Yeah, you wanna meet her?

103
00:09:00,807 --> 00:09:03,408
What, you know
                Little Pattie?
We're like this.

Yes, sir!

Have some of this, you bastards.
Fire!

[artillery booms]

124
00:10:20,087 --> 00:10:23,154
[colonel] It appears the enemy
knows exactly what he's doing.

125
00:10:23,156 --> 00:10:27,392
He's targeted our guns,
our task force headquarters.

126
00:10:27,394 --> 00:10:29,794
The count is one dead,
    23 wounded.

127
00:10:29,796 --> 00:10:32,464
However, artillery
    have driven him back,

128
00:10:32,466 --> 00:10:34,232
and now we're going after him.

129
00:10:34,234 --> 00:10:36,668
One company will move out
beyond the wire

130
00:10:36,670 --> 00:10:38,603
and they'll patrol east

131
00:10:38,605 --> 00:10:40,772
into the rubber plantation
    at Long Tan

132
00:10:40,774 --> 00:10:42,774
where the enemy mortars
    came from.

133
00:10:42,776 --> 00:10:44,743
We're calling it
    Operation Vendetta.

    to go, sir.

135
00:10:46,580 --> 00:10:48,513
Yes, thank you, Harry.
        This will be Bravo.

136
00:10:48,515 --> 00:10:50,982
Noel, you leave in an hour,
so prepare to stay overnight.

137
00:10:50,984 --> 00:10:53,318
Colonel, I've got 48 men
    due for leave tomorrow.

138
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,120
Well, just send them back
    in the morning.

139
00:10:55,122 --> 00:10:57,622
That will cut our strength
down to 32, sir.

140
00:10:57,624 --> 00:10:58,957
Yes!

141
00:10:58,959 --> 00:11:00,692
Thank you, Noel. I can count.

142
00:11:00,694 --> 00:11:03,928
Got 108 men prepared
to stay out there all week, sir.

143
00:11:03,930 --> 00:11:07,098
There are other companies in the
battalion besides yours, Harry.

144
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:08,800
Not trained by me, though, sir.

145
00:11:08,802 --> 00:11:11,302
As commanding officer
    of this battalion,

146
00:11:11,304 --> 00:11:14,039
it is my decision
    whose mission this is.

147
00:11:16,810 --> 00:11:18,777

That makes you Private Topp.
Yes, Sergeant.

[Sarge] Delta is the best
company in the battalion.

160
00:12:13,834 --> 00:12:15,734
We work harder, march further

161
00:12:15,736 --> 00:12:17,402
and shoot straighter
    than anybody else.

162
00:12:17,404 --> 00:12:19,170
We're proud of that fact.

163
00:12:19,172 --> 00:12:21,005
Major Smith as tough
            as they say?

164
00:12:21,007 --> 00:12:23,441
Tougher. The Ratcatcher
    fought Communist
    and guerrilla forces

165
00:12:23,443 --> 00:12:25,877
in Malaya in '56,
so he knows this brand of stink.

166
00:12:25,879 --> 00:12:27,679
Trained with the commandos
in Melbourne,

167
00:12:27,681 --> 00:12:29,681
now he runs Delta
    to commando standards.

168
00:12:29,683 --> 00:12:31,750
That means you'll have
your shirts on at all times,

169

your sleeves rolled down,
your fronts buttoned up.

says it should go.

172
00:12:38,425 --> 00:12:40,892
And no coughing
or farting before breakfast.

173
00:12:40,894 --> 00:12:42,293
Serious?

174
00:12:48,802 --> 00:12:51,636
[Sarge]
Welcome to Hotel Nui Dat.

175
00:12:56,376 --> 00:12:57,909
Private Large, sir.

176
00:12:57,911 --> 00:13:01,212
Ah! Come in, Private.

177
00:13:07,154 --> 00:13:08,853
Mind if I take a look?

178
00:13:18,431 --> 00:13:20,999
Hmm.

179
00:13:21,001 --> 00:13:24,102
You prefer this over the SLR?

180
00:13:24,104 --> 00:13:26,070
She's lighter than the SLR.

181
00:13:26,072 --> 00:13:27,772
Doesn't hit as hard, though.

182
00:13:27,774 --> 00:13:29,340
She jams a lot.

183
00:13:30,844 --> 00:13:33,144
You a good shot?
                Real good.

184
00:13:33,146 --> 00:13:35,980
Yeah, I grew up hunting rabbits
out the back of me house.

185
00:13:35,982 --> 00:13:37,782
The back of your house?

186
00:13:37,784 --> 00:13:39,651
Where are you from?
                        Coolah.

187
00:13:39,653 --> 00:13:41,686
New South Wales.
Yeah, I know where it is.

188
00:13:41,688 --> 00:13:43,521
There's good farm country,
right?

189
00:13:43,523 --> 00:13:45,123
Yeah.

190
00:13:45,125 --> 00:13:48,092
Well, how come, then,
if you're such a good shot,

191
00:13:48,094 --> 00:13:51,863
how did you miss
that enemy soldier last night?

192
00:13:51,865 --> 00:13:53,631
Well, it was dark.

193
00:13:53,633 --> 00:13:55,500
And he was running...

194
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:58,436
really fast.

195
00:13:58,438 --> 00:14:00,972
You think this is funny,
        don't you?

196
00:14:00,974 --> 00:14:02,607
Huh?

197
00:14:02,609 --> 00:14:04,142
What kind of funny?

198
00:14:04,144 --> 00:14:08,112
Funny like, eh,
            Bugs Bunny funny?

199
00:14:08,114 --> 00:14:09,714
Fart funny?

200
00:14:11,351 --> 00:14:14,185
Or more like
            Lucille Ball funny?

201
00:14:14,187 --> 00:14:17,555
I think you're funny.

202
00:14:17,557 --> 00:14:19,357
Tell you the truth...

203
00:14:21,795 --> 00:14:24,128
I think you're a fucking joke.

204
00:14:24,130 --> 00:14:27,198
Sir, I can't breathe.
            That's because
            I'm choking you.

205
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,901
I'm cutting off all the air
    to your worthless lungs,

206
00:14:29,903 --> 00:14:31,803
doing everyone a favor.

207
00:14:31,805 --> 00:14:35,039
You see, there's a thousand ways
to die in a war zone.

208
00:14:35,041 --> 00:14:37,041
Nobody asks too many questions

209
00:14:37,043 --> 00:14:41,045
when another grunt gets listed
killed in action.

210
00:14:41,047 --> 00:14:43,982
Now, funnyman,

211
00:14:43,984 --> 00:14:45,383
tell me the truth.

212
00:14:45,385 --> 00:14:47,852
And if I hear
        one more bullshit lie

213
00:14:47,854 --> 00:14:50,889
about you shooting
        at enemy soldiers,

214
00:14:50,891 --> 00:14:54,325
I'll send you back to Coolah
    in a wooden fucking box.

215
00:14:54,327 --> 00:14:56,060
[chokes] I fucked up.

216
00:14:56,062 --> 00:14:59,497
[gasps]

217
00:14:59,499 --> 00:15:02,667
[pants]

218
00:15:02,669 --> 00:15:04,335
Private, what do you think

219
00:15:04,337 --> 00:15:07,171
is the most important element
in a firefight?

220
00:15:14,948 --> 00:15:16,581
Killing the enemy, sir.

221
00:15:16,583 --> 00:15:17,949
Trust.

222
00:15:20,186 --> 00:15:24,088
You have to trust the man beside
you and he has to trust you.

223
00:15:24,090 --> 00:15:25,757
My mates trust me.

224
00:15:25,759 --> 00:15:27,792
Well, when you fire your weapon
off without meaning to,

225
00:15:27,794 --> 00:15:29,360
they don't.

226
00:15:38,138 --> 00:15:41,105
Now, do you think you can pick
that up without shooting me?

227
00:15:44,811 --> 00:15:46,444
[gasps mockingly]

228
00:15:48,214 --> 00:15:50,181
Dismissed.

229
00:16:00,927 --> 00:16:03,161
Reckon they'll try us
    again, Paddy?

230
00:16:03,163 --> 00:16:05,163
[Irish accent]
They were probing us.

231
00:16:05,165 --> 00:16:07,131
Testing our reaction.

232
00:16:09,436 --> 00:16:11,803
It's what you do before
you launch a full-scale attack.

233
00:16:11,805 --> 00:16:15,807
Can't overrun the base,
    can they?

234
00:16:15,809 --> 00:16:17,575
Ever heard of Dien Bien Phu?

235
00:16:17,577 --> 00:16:19,210
No.

236
00:16:20,647 --> 00:16:22,413
Good.

237
00:16:37,263 --> 00:16:38,963
Thirteen years in the army,

238
00:16:38,965 --> 00:16:42,867
I've never seen any company
trained half as hard as Delta.

239
00:16:42,869 --> 00:16:45,370
You really put these boys
    through it,

240
00:16:45,372 --> 00:16:48,706
and you're still pushing them
to the point of punishment.

241
00:16:50,477 --> 00:16:52,610
I've gone along with it
because I've seen this shit.

242
00:16:52,612 --> 00:16:54,445
I know it could save
            their lives one day.

243
00:16:54,447 --> 00:16:58,349
But I'm not sure
    that's why you're doing it.

244
00:16:58,351 --> 00:17:00,718
They're not commandos,
        but they are your men.

245
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,522
They've done everything
you've asked of them and more.

246
00:17:04,524 --> 00:17:06,357
They deserve
                your respect.

247
00:17:14,467 --> 00:17:16,701
Sir.

248
00:17:16,703 --> 00:17:18,870
[Smith slurps]

249
00:17:25,912 --> 00:17:27,845
[Noel on radio]
    <i> Zero 1, this is Bravo 1.</i>

<i>Say again.</i>

258

<i> Over.</i>

259
00:18:03,349 --> 00:18:05,116
A word please, sir.

260
00:18:09,556 --> 00:18:12,723
Keep the mosquitoes out,
    would you?

261
00:18:12,725 --> 00:18:14,759
[officer sighs]

262
00:18:16,396 --> 00:18:18,262
Water?

263
00:18:18,264 --> 00:18:20,431
No, thank you, sir.

264
00:18:21,434 --> 00:18:23,534
The place is like
            a bloody furnace.

265
00:18:23,536 --> 00:18:25,036
You get used to it.

266
00:18:25,038 --> 00:18:27,972
Is that how it was
    for you blokes in Malaya?

267
00:18:27,974 --> 00:18:30,241
Wish I'd been able
    to join you for that one.

268
00:18:30,243 --> 00:18:32,343
Heard it was
            a helluva good show.

269
00:18:35,215 --> 00:18:38,449
You've got two minutes,
        Harry.

270
00:18:38,451 --> 00:18:41,085
Sir, I'm a soldier.

271
00:18:41,087 --> 00:18:42,920
My father was a soldier.

272
00:18:42,922 --> 00:18:45,423
And it is a profession
that I hold dear.

273
00:18:45,425 --> 00:18:47,225
It is sacred.

274
00:18:47,227 --> 00:18:49,327
I should be in command
of other professionals,

275
00:18:49,329 --> 00:18:50,895
yet I find myself here,

276
00:18:50,897 --> 00:18:54,599
breast-feeding a bunch of kids,
conscripts.

277
00:18:54,601 --> 00:18:58,803
Frankly, sir, it's a waste
of my experience and my skills.

278
00:18:58,805 --> 00:19:02,073
I need to be elsewhere.

279
00:19:02,075 --> 00:19:04,142
You were a conscript yourself,
weren't you?

280
00:19:04,144 --> 00:19:07,512
I did my 90 days. But then I
signed up for the regular army.

281
00:19:07,514 --> 00:19:09,447
Duntroon?

282
00:19:09,449 --> 00:19:10,681
Portsea.

283
00:19:10,683 --> 00:19:12,483
Didn't you want
            to go to Duntroon?

284
00:19:12,485 --> 00:19:15,786
Not all of us have the, eh,
educational requirements

285
00:19:15,788 --> 00:19:17,488
to get into Duntroon, sir.

286
00:19:17,490 --> 00:19:19,457
And yet somehow you still feel

287
00:19:19,459 --> 00:19:21,425
that you have the right
    to come in here

288
00:19:21,427 --> 00:19:22,927
and ask for a transfer.

289
00:19:22,929 --> 00:19:26,430
To what? Something better?

290
00:19:26,432 --> 00:19:29,167
Nothing personal, sir.

291
00:19:29,169 --> 00:19:31,035
Where do you want to go?

292
00:19:31,037 --> 00:19:33,638
Special forces, commandos.

293
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,206
Back with your old unit?

294
00:19:35,208 --> 00:19:36,841
Back with commanding officers

295
00:19:36,843 --> 00:19:39,510
that understand and appreciate
the services I provide.

296
00:19:39,512 --> 00:19:41,512
Unlike, say,
            Colonel Townsend?

297
00:19:43,449 --> 00:19:45,349
You don't like
            Colonel Townsend.

298
00:19:45,351 --> 00:19:47,652
Ask me if I give a shit.

299
00:19:47,654 --> 00:19:51,122
He's your commanding officer
and you will follow his orders,

300
00:19:51,124 --> 00:19:52,890
just like he follows mine,

301
00:19:52,892 --> 00:19:54,559
because that's the way
        the army works,

302
00:19:54,561 --> 00:19:56,060
in case you haven't noticed.

303
00:19:56,062 --> 00:19:57,795
Was there anything else,

    No talking to the talent.

I'm Private Large.
    This is Private Grimes.

Go and help the Joy Boys unload.

What the hell is Priority Alpha?

00:21:09,135 --> 00:21:11,168
Did you hear me,
                Private? Go!

322

No Priority Alpha,
            is there?

    when he realizes that.

This is, eh, Private Grimes.

326
00:21:21,981 --> 00:21:23,581
He's probably your biggest fan.

Wouldn't miss it.

to find enough motivation

to do his duties
    for Queen and country.

00:21:55,315 --> 00:21:57,648
Good luck with the show.
        Maybe give us a wave.

341
00:21:57,650 --> 00:21:59,317
We'll be down the front.
        Hooroo!

342
00:22:01,954 --> 00:22:04,322
Attention!

343
00:22:04,324 --> 00:22:05,956
We're heading to Long Tan.

344
00:22:05,958 --> 00:22:07,758
We'll be relieving Bravo,

345
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,996
who's been out there all night
with exactly zero enemy contact.

346
00:22:11,998 --> 00:22:15,099
Now, we're a day late
        and a dollar short.

347
00:22:15,101 --> 00:22:19,170
But if there is something
    out there, we will find it.

348
00:22:20,773 --> 00:22:22,673
We move out at 1100 hours.

349
00:22:22,675 --> 00:22:26,377

            doubtful points?

Guess we're not going
        to the concert.

353
00:22:35,488 --> 00:22:37,054
Looks like we'll be missing it.

354
00:22:37,056 --> 00:22:38,989
Yeah, looks like we'll be
the only ones missing it.

355
00:22:38,991 --> 00:22:40,691
Colonel's got the shits
    with the major

356
00:22:40,693 --> 00:22:42,927
and we copped the short end
of the stick.
            Oi!

357
00:22:44,297 --> 00:22:47,031
We're not here to fuck spiders.
We're here to fight a war.

Why do they call the major
the Ratcatcher?

375
00:23:38,284 --> 00:23:40,050
Because when the rations
    get scarce,

376
00:23:40,052 --> 00:23:41,519
that's what he fucking eats.

377
00:23:41,521 --> 00:23:43,120
Language, Paddy.

378
00:23:43,122 --> 00:23:46,290
I heard that he burrows out
the innards of enemy KIA,

379
00:23:46,292 --> 00:23:48,092
then lays traps inside

380
00:23:48,094 --> 00:23:51,362
all the blood and the guts
and the intestines.

381
00:23:51,364 --> 00:23:53,631
Thank you, Sergeant.
            That'll do.

382
00:23:55,735 --> 00:23:58,102
He doesn't give two shits
about us, does he?

383
00:23:59,739 --> 00:24:02,940
That's not his job, Private.

384
00:24:02,942 --> 00:24:04,542
It's ours.

385
00:24:06,612 --> 00:24:09,313
What's out there, Mr. Sharp?

386
00:24:09,315 --> 00:24:11,148
[Sharp]
            Maybe a VC platoon.

387

Oh, it's all right.

388
00:24:15,154 --> 00:24:17,054
Just your typical
    shoot and scoot.

389

We're not gonna find anything.

390
00:24:18,724 --> 00:24:20,891
With any luck, Lieutenant.

391
00:24:33,272 --> 00:24:35,172
Looks like artillery
    was spot-on.

392
00:24:37,743 --> 00:24:40,811
Where do those blood trails go?

393
00:24:40,813 --> 00:24:43,647
North towards the hills
    and east towards Long Tan.

394
00:24:43,649 --> 00:24:47,585
North has footprints,
        but east has
        bullock cart tracks.

395
00:24:49,255 --> 00:24:50,988
You want a fight, sir?

396

Catch up to that bullock cart.

397

You blokes can go home
and enjoy the music,

Gonna keep heading east.

402
00:25:04,437 --> 00:25:05,970
There's bullock cart tracks.

403

Follow any trails.

404
00:25:09,675 --> 00:25:11,542

Cocky little prick,
            isn't he?

410

he'll be all right.

I'm more worried
about the ones still out there.

That last drop sounded close.

786
00:56:00,524 --> 00:56:03,359

There is no 11 Platoon.

Just say it!
            Just fucking say it!

795
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:44,666
What about trust?

00:56:44,668 --> 00:56:46,201
What about all that shit

00:56:46,203 --> 00:56:48,103
about your mates
            trusting you?

798
00:56:48,105 --> 00:56:50,372
Stand down, Private.

799
00:56:50,374 --> 00:56:53,375
How can we trust you now?

800
00:56:53,377 --> 00:56:55,644

Sir, I can have Alpha Company
loaded onto my APCs
in 15 minutes.

811
00:57:45,262 --> 00:57:48,630
No. They're up against
        an entire battalion
        out there, maybe more.

812
00:57:48,632 --> 00:57:50,165
It's a trap.

813
00:57:50,167 --> 00:57:52,100
They're luring us out
    so they can attack the base.

814
00:57:52,102 --> 00:57:53,735
What about 11 Platoon, sir?

Find 11.

Rescue any survivors.

840
00:59:51,288 --> 00:59:53,188
And hope to hell
there are some.

841
00:59:53,190 --> 00:59:55,357
I found a way through to 11.

    I can show you.

850
01:00:24,955 --> 01:00:27,889
[Paddy] Miller,
        keep your section here.

851
01:00:27,891 --> 01:00:31,627
We need to know what's happening
with 10 Platoon.

852
01:00:31,629 --> 01:00:33,562
They still have no radio.

853
01:00:39,269 --> 01:00:42,037
Akell! Get here.

854
01:00:44,842 --> 01:00:46,475
Here.

855
01:00:46,477 --> 01:00:49,578
I need you to get that radio
to 10 Platoon.

856
01:00:49,580 --> 01:00:51,613
You reckon you can
do that for me?

857
01:00:51,615 --> 01:00:54,783
Yes, sir.
    Attaboy.

858
01:00:54,785 --> 01:00:56,251
Good man.

859
01:00:56,253 --> 01:00:58,153
All right.

860
01:00:58,155 --> 01:01:00,422
Run as fast as you bloody can.

861
01:01:00,424 --> 01:01:03,425
Go, lads! Go on! Go!

862
01:01:05,829 --> 01:01:07,596
Run like hell!

863
01:01:28,819 --> 01:01:31,086
Let's go and see
    what's happening, eh?

864

<i>Request ammo resupply. Over.</i>

867
01:01:45,235 --> 01:01:48,770
Delta 1, you are again ordered
to return to base. Over.

868
01:01:54,011 --> 01:01:57,079
Zero 1,
if you do not send ammo,

869
01:01:57,081 --> 01:01:59,247
you will lose
the bloody lot of us.

870
01:01:59,249 --> 01:02:00,782
It's that simple.

871
01:02:02,853 --> 01:02:05,053
[thuds crash over radio]

872
01:02:06,390 --> 01:02:08,857
In this weather,
with no secure LZ,

873
01:02:08,859 --> 01:02:10,826
I'm afraid
I can't authorize that.

874
01:02:10,828 --> 01:02:13,762
You don't have to
    authorize it, Captain.

875
01:02:13,764 --> 01:02:15,263
I'll go on my own accord.

876
01:02:15,265 --> 01:02:16,765
Nobody's leaving the base.

877
01:02:16,767 --> 01:02:19,868
I'm in charge of air support,
sir. It's my call.

878
01:02:19,870 --> 01:02:21,670
It's mine.

879
01:02:21,672 --> 01:02:23,538
I'm the commander
            of my aircraft.

880
01:02:23,540 --> 01:02:25,941
I have the right to make
        tactical decisions
        in the field.

881
01:02:25,943 --> 01:02:28,009
You're not in the field.

882
01:02:32,082 --> 01:02:34,916
In 10 minutes,
                I will be.

I've got a radio
            for you, sir.

887
01:02:46,063 --> 01:02:48,063
Where the hell
did you come from?

888
01:02:48,065 --> 01:02:50,766
Company HQ, sir.
Good one, Yank!

889
01:02:50,768 --> 01:02:53,235

890
01:02:53,237 --> 01:02:56,238
10 Platoon's back on air, sir!

891
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:57,873
The kid made it!

892
01:03:05,916 --> 01:03:08,316
4-1, this is 4. Sitrep.

893
01:03:08,318 --> 01:03:10,786
We're pinned down
by enemy fire on three sides.

894
01:03:10,788 --> 01:03:14,055
Taking casualties.
    Running low on ammo.

895
01:03:14,057 --> 01:03:16,291
We can't proceed to 4-2. Over.

896
01:03:16,293 --> 01:03:19,828
All right, withdraw
        with your wounded
        to my location. Over.

01:03:19,830 --> 01:03:21,596

Let's go, boys!

905
01:03:44,788 --> 01:03:46,922
Let's get this ammo
    on the choppers, now!

906
01:03:46,924 --> 01:03:48,623
Come on, let's go!

907
01:03:48,625 --> 01:03:51,126
It's a suicide mission.
Yeah, well,
nobody has to go.

908
01:03:51,128 --> 01:03:52,727
Volunteers only.

909
01:03:59,269 --> 01:04:02,604
Answer me honestly.
Do you reckon
we're gonna get shot down?

910
01:04:03,674 --> 01:04:06,107
Honestly? Yep.

911
01:04:06,977 --> 01:04:08,944
Jesus, mate.

912

01:13:33,042 --> 01:13:38,413
That's 100 men
    defending 300 support staff.

1019
01:13:38,415 --> 01:13:40,214
And my intel reports tell me

1020
01:13:40,216 --> 01:13:43,050
there is a second,
    full-sized enemy regiment

1021
01:13:43,052 --> 01:13:44,619
moving in on us
                from the west.

1022
01:13:44,621 --> 01:13:47,355
Sir, there's a chance
to save Delta now.

1023
01:13:47,357 --> 01:13:49,957
Delta is down to
        less than half strength.

1024
01:13:49,959 --> 01:13:51,426
Delta is finished.

1025
01:13:51,428 --> 01:13:54,195
I'm sorry, sir,
but you're wrong.

1026
01:13:54,197 --> 01:13:56,063
If Major Smith can hold

1027
01:13:56,065 --> 01:13:58,366
and the APCs
can break up the attack,

1028
01:13:58,368 --> 01:14:00,034
then I can secure the base

1029
01:14:00,036 --> 01:14:02,103
by taking the fight
    to the enemy.

1030
01:14:07,944 --> 01:14:11,045
History will judge us,
        gentlemen.

1031
01:14:11,047 --> 01:14:14,449
Send out the APCs.
        Yes, sir.

1032
01:14:14,451 --> 01:14:18,386
[brigadier] You put on
        a good show, don't you?

1033
01:14:18,388 --> 01:14:20,154
A show?

1034
01:14:20,156 --> 01:14:23,891
Do you think I'm going to let
you duck the fallout from this?

1035
01:14:23,893 --> 01:14:25,760
Sir, I'm needed in the field.

1036
01:14:25,762 --> 01:14:30,498
You are needed
    where I say you are needed.

1037
01:14:30,500 --> 01:14:34,802
And right now,
    that is here by my side...

1038

We killed a lot

and they're gonna want revenge.

1071

We can't travel our wounded,
