:05:02
-Maybe you'd like to write your own?
-No, thank you, sir.
:05:07
I'm not very interested in embroidery,
only results.
:05:13
Now, you hold it right there.
:05:16
This war was not started
for your private gratification.
:05:19
And you can be damn sure
that this Army. . .
:05:22
. . .isn't being run for your
personal convenience, either.
:05:28
You've been waiting for a transfer
for over two months now.
:05:31
With a record like yours,
you could go on waiting forever.
:05:35
However, I get orders too.
And right now I've got some. . .
:05:39
. . .that sound as if they were made
for somebody just like you.
:05:42
Personally, I don't go for this
behind-the-lines nonsense.
:05:45
As far as I'm concerned, a soldier's job
is to wear his uniform and kill the enemy.
:05:51
But that's another matter.
:05:53
I'm gonna ask General Denton
to read these orders. . .
:05:55
. . .just as they came down to us.
:05:57
After, if you have any questions, ask.
Understand?
:06:00
-Yes, sir.
-General.
:06:05
"Project Amnesty:
:06:07
You will select 12 prisoners
sentenced to death. . .
:06:09
. . .or long-term imprisonment for murder,
rape, robbery or other violent crimes.
:06:14
Train these prisoners in as much of the
behind-the-lines operations. . .
:06:17
. . .as they can absorb in a brief
but unspecified time.
:06:20
You'll then deliver them secretly
to Europe and prior to the invasion. . .
:06:24
. . .attack and destroy the target
specified: Overleaf. "
:06:29
-That's all?
-That's all.
:06:32
What about the target specified,
Overleaf?
:06:35
Doesn't concern you now.
:06:38
Well, what do you say, major?
:06:40
I'd say it confirms a suspicion
I've had for some time now, sir.
:06:43
Do you think we might share
that suspicion, major?
:06:45
I think you should.
:06:47
Since I'll have to assume we're
over here to win the war. . .
:06:50
. . .it wouldn't pay to advertise. . .
:06:52
. . .that one man we're working for
is a raving lunatic.
:06:55
Now, that's enough, major. You're here
to be briefed on an operation.
:06:58
You have permission to ask questions
about that operation.
