The Rat Patrol (1966–1968): Season 2, Episode 21 - The Field of Death Raid - full transcript
The Rat Patrol seemingly comes under random attack from a group of Arabs. While inspecting their documents, the Rat Patrol discover large amounts of German money as well as photos of all the members of Rat Patrol.
Well, it's a smashing
start, Peterson.
What happened? I
don't know, Sarge.
Well, don't rock
it. Hitch, check it.
Right, Sarge.
Tully picked a great
time to get shot up.
It's the tie rod.
Nothing's broken.
The nut fell off, I can fix it.
Good. We got the
jeep, we'll pull her off.
All right, Sarge.
We'll have to get some
weight on the rear end of this.
Sarge, Arabs.
Suppose they give us a hand.
Grenade!
What the devil was that about?
Must've been something we said.
Hitch, check this one.
Hey, Sarge, look at this.
A wallet filled with
German money.
Somebody's picture.
Sarge, that's you.
- Who's that with you?
- It's my brother, David.
In an Arab's wallet?
Dickens is he doing with it?
That's a good question.
Well, CO checked it out.
My brother's squadron was
just assigned to this area.
When did you last see him?
Before the war, he was in
England when war was declared.
Next day, he joined the RAF.
We must've been very desperate.
Maybe you can
arrange to see him.
I have, we're to meet
him at El Akim Oasis.
So, let's pickup Peterson
and get out of here.
Did you tell the CO how
we found the photograph?
Any theories?
Just the obvious.
Somebody's trying to kill us.
Well, yeah, but who?
Major Von Brugge!
Our targets are moving.
And you have the
necessary equipment?
Yes, sir. Good.
Our orders are to destroy
the Rat Patrol, Major.
Why must we... When hunting
rats, it's necessary to use
the proper bait, in this
case, Captain David Troy.
But, Major...
That's enough.
Good luck, gentlemen.
What's the trouble?
Anything I can do for you?
You've already
done it, Captain Troy.
Get in the truck, now!
Put him in the truck.
When the area has been mined,
we'll position ourselves up there.
Just beyond the
crest of the hill.
Where we can see
without being seen.
Yes, sir.
Doesn't look too good.
Let's go.
Where is he?
Where's my brother?
Easy, Troy.
I'm not required to
give you this information.
Aren't you?
We'll see.
May I remind you, that according
to the Geneva Convention...
We're a long way from
Geneva, dear Hardt.
For the last time,
where's my brother?
You won't shoot.
You're an American.
Americans are too sentimental.
Now, if I were in your position,
I would shoot
without hesitation.
That's why we,
eventually, will win this war.
You shot at me.
Now, where's my brother?
Where's Lieutenant Hardt?
He was left behind
as you ordered, sir.
Excellent, he will tell them
everything we want them to know.
You feel no remorse, Major?
My dear Koenig,
we're doing the man a
favor, Hardt is a weakling.
We have permitted him to
use his weakness as a strength.
Ah, the noble Captain Troy.
Your brother has been a tremendous
influence in my life, Captain.
My brother? Sergeant Troy.
The result of our last
encounter influenced
my mobility and my appearance.
I hope to return the favor
very shortly with your help.
Not a chance.
Tie him carefully.
Don't hurt him.
I must warn you, Captain.
We're placing a land
mine behind your back.
If you move, you'll
have an excellent
chance of blowing
yourself to bits.
You'll have to shoot me.
I'm surprised at you, Captain.
As long as you're alive, you
can still try to warn your brother
and his colleagues.
Nicely done, Captain.
You could have accounted for all
of us, had the mine been armed.
Arm it.
When Sergeant Troy tries to move
the body, he'll
trigger the mine.
Troy.
Troy.
This man's leading us
into a trap, I can feel it.
If you wanna back
out, I'll handle it alone.
Just me and my buddy.
Suppose we better stay with him,
I'm going in with
very bad company.
Excuse me, sir. Yes.
Shall I move the
boulder up so that
we can cover the
entrance to the canyon?
That would give
away our position.
I just want to find a place
where I can see the minefield.
Yes, sir, but the
guns would be quicker.
Koenig, I've waited
months for this opportunity.
Would you deprive a
poor handicapped man
of his simple pleasures?
Oh. Oh, yes.
This is good, this is very good.
What is it?
There's a body out there.
It's David.
Is he alive?
I don't know.
I don't know.
He's moving.
He's alive.
All right, let's go.
Troy, wait.
Hold it, Sarge, slow down.
Now, you listen to me.
That's my brother
out there, let me go!
Not until you listen to reason.
I'm sorry, Troy. I'm sorry.
But it's suicide
to walk out there.
He's right, Sarge, that canyon's
made to order for an ambush.
Well, Lieutenant, is that true?
Are your playmates
out there someplace?
Get out.
Get out!
Now, you and I are gonna
take a walk out there.
No, please.
If anyone gets
hurt, you get it first.
I'll come with you, Sarge. No.
Cover me.
In case there are any
Krauts around here.
Come on.
No further, please.
Why?
Land mines.
The whole area is
covered with land mines!
Rake it.
Sir, you can see the
jeeps from over here.
Good.
Our mines are being wasted.
Not at all, not at all.
But they are within
range of our guns.
If I can just bring
up the mortar.
Not yet, not yet.
Sergeant Troy is
our main attraction.
I think we've cleared
a fairly wide path.
Thanks.
They have to be hidden
out there somewhere.
Hitch.
You take over, here.
Peterson.
You and I will make a reccy.
That fool Hardt.
The mine was meant for Troy.
Major, by now we could've
destroyed all of them.
That stupid fool.
This mission means less to you
than your own
personal vengeance.
My vengeance is the mission.
Get moving.
Sergeant, please, they are...
David? Yeah.
Easy, now.
Easy.
Don't move me.
What's the matter?
Land mine. Where?
Behind me.
Any more around?
I don't know.
All right.
Destroy them.
David Troy, Sergeant
Troy, all of them.
Yes, sir.
Well, I can say
one thing for you,
when you throw a
party it's sure a big one.
No food and lots of noise.
Yeah, remember the party
we had at your graduation?
Oh, that's the time you
got sick on vanilla extract.
Uh-uh, baby, you did.
Oh, no, you did.
Let's go.
What do you know,
right where I left it.
Yeah, we run an honest war.
Yeah, but the next time you've a
party, don't invite so many guests.
It's a promise.
You sure you can't
stay a bit longer?
Yeah, wish I could, but
I'm overdue right now.
Well, take care of yourself.
Remember, a guy can get
hurt flying around in those crates.
Yeah, I'd like to have a safe,
comfortable job like yours.
See you later, fellows.
Thanks, again.
Dave, you're right.
I was the one that got sick.
No, you didn't.
I did.
Don't you know better, Sarge,
than to argue with an officer?
That's no officer,
that's my kid brother.
start, Peterson.
