8
00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:02.560
I'm your correspondent, Charles Reynold Tanks. I've found in southern France, breaking

9
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:07.280
through access lines with grit and determination. We're gaining ground and the fight for

10
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.760
liberation, folks, victory is on
the horizon. Mark my words, keeping

11
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:33.959
ESPU for the notice on this crucial
campaign. Welcne boys. That was one

12
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.480
hell of a script. Everyone,
all right then? Yeah, I took

13
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:41.560
a few hits with us. We
could handle jih young girl here, he'll

14
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.599
of just fine. I'm Germany,
sure know how to put up a fight.

15
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:48.920
Yeah, And we gave it right
back. Hey, I can go

16
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.959
for a cold one right about now. I could go for that too,

17
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:55.239
Tell me maybe a ballgame or a
frank or two. All right, all

18
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.840
right, hey, if we make
it back up one piece, the suns

19
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:02.000
are on me. Me, Billy, how's my tank? Well for fixing?

20
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:05.000
Get back in the fray, then, I reckon, we better make

21
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.159
sure she's ready for another dance.
Huh. Hey, you're saying, Sergeant,

22
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:12.439
let's show these damn Germans what the
wolves is made of? And Russell,

23
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.360
are you even old enough to have
a beer? But the money you're

24
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:27.240
Tommy, I'll trink you right on
the table. Corrected seeking next closest timestamp.

25
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.560
Lieuten Thompson, Yeah, that's me. Captain Millier's requested your presence in

26
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:59.360
the command tap right away. All
right, I'll head straight there. You

27
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.759
guys think el he is getting a
promotion the army. Shut the fuck up.

28
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:24.159
She's just saying, all right,
all right, a shit, Captain

29
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:30.599
Miller. Lieutenant Thompson, reporting is
ordered, sir, at ease. Lieutenant,

30
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.199
got some rgent news for you and
your crew. We're being reassigned to

31
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:38.800
join a platoon headed for the heart
of southern France. Understood, What is

32
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:43.199
the situation so far. Reports indicate
that the Germans are fortifying their positions in

33
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.479
the middle of southern France and they're
threatening our advance. Our platoon has been

34
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:51.520
tasked with spearheading an assault to break
through the defenses and secure the territory.

35
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.800
We will not let you down.
The wolf's head is ready for whatever lies

36
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.840
ahead. It's what I like to
hear, Lieutenant, or remember, won't

37
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.520
be easy. These guys are jugging
deep. They're not going to give up

38
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.639
without a big fight. We are
prepared for whatever they throw at us.

39
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:08.360
We will see it to the end. I know you will, Lieutenant.

40
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:14.120
Carry on with your preparations. We'll
be moving out at first light. Tick

41
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:18.160
you next, close system tanks gap. Just ride this motor scooter straight up

42
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.040
to old eyed Dolphs house and say, how do you do boy? I'd

43
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:25.279
love to see the look on his
face. All right, boys, we

44
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:29.600
have new orders to meet up with
a platoon and head south. We've got

45
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.319
a tough fight ahead of us,
but we're going to show the Germans what

46
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:50.720
we're made of. Let's get ready
to roll out at dawn. Sound keep

47
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:54.360
your eyes peeled, boys, We're
about to link up with the rest of

48
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:59.560
the platoon, Lieutenant Thompson, commanding
officer of the Wolf's Head. Pleasure to

49
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.639
meet you, gentlemen. Lieutenant Baker
at your service. This here's my crew

50
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:08.920
and the Iron Hammer. Lieutenant Jones
leading the Crazy Thunder. Lieutenant Turner here

51
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:13.279
commanding the Steel Mistress. Glad to
see we got some fellow tankers with us,

52
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.879
agreed, Lieutenant Turr. We've got
a tough mission ahead of us.

53
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:20.120
Our objective is to punch through the
enemy line and secure the target area.

54
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:25.639
We will provide cover and support for
each of us every step of the way.

55
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.199
We got a lot of ground here
to cover, gentlemen, so let's

56
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.879
execute this flawlessly. Sounds like a
plan. We'll stay tight and watch each

57
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:38.360
other's backs. All right, Let's
get our crews briefed and ready to move

58
00:05:38.399 --> 00:06:13.000
out. We got a date with
destiny, Iron Hammer, Grazy Thunder,

59
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:18.279
Steel Mistress. Do you copy?
I got me good? The village road

60
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.839
are too narrow for the tanks to
get through. Me and my crew will

61
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:27.120
go out on foot and scalt ahead. Watch our backs. Copy that be

62
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:46.040
careful. Who hey, rustle,
step on a lama, Tommy, shut

63
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.839
the fuck up? Please? Yeah, yeah, I got it. What

64
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:55.759
the hell happened here? Looks like
a war zone. There's no sign of

65
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:59.720
a battle. It's like everybody just
disappeared. This police gives me the creeps.

66
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:02.360
What do you think happened here?
I'm not for sure, Private,

67
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:39.319
but we need to stay alert.
There could be survivors. Sweet mother of

68
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:46.480
Jesus Christ S Sorry. Do you
think the Germans could have done this?

69
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:53.000
I don't know. This doesn't look
like the work of a man. Looks

70
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:57.319
like something out of a nightmare.
Lt. I think we should get back

71
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:20.079
to the tank. Agreed, Sergeant. Let's regroup and get back. All

72
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:24.160
right, gentlemen. I don't know
what's going on, but there are bodies

73
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.319
back there that are torn apart.
I have never seen anything like this.

74
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:33.559
What are you talking about? It
was probably just mortar fier. Yeah,

75
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:39.120
we've looked for that, but there
are no impact craters. But there's a

76
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.600
lot of damage. Like you'll let
a two thousand pound bowl free, But

77
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.440
that doesn't explain the villagers. How
do you wish to precede, Lieutenant Thompson,

78
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.639
What if whatever did that is still
out there waiting for We need to

79
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:58.240
stay vigilant, Lieutenant, But we
can't let fear dictate our actions. We

80
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:28.559
will proceed with the mission, but
with caution. We're under attack using forward.

81
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.120
That's right. Fire. Don't let
them get the drop on us.

82
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.159
I'm moving to flight them. Come
on me. Hold the line, boys,

83
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.360
we'll fight our way out of this. We'll get your fire on their

84
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:46.080
flank. Take the pressure on.
Keep firing, Sergeant, you can't let

85
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:48.200
them break through our lines. I'm
trying, Boss. This piece of shit

86
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.759
keeps jamming. We can't hold out
much longer if they land a good shot

87
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.919
or screw we lost contact with the
other tanks. Look at I think it's

88
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.080
just us now. I need you
to move this piece of shit. Sorry,

89
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.440
we need to put some distance between
us and the enemy. Pick the

90
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:20.440
tires that light the fires. I'm
on an lt. Lt. Joe's been

91
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.799
shot. He's losing a lot of
blood. Wrapped the first eight box.

92
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:28.080
Put pressure on the wound. Hey, hey, you're gonna be all right,

93
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:33.320
buddy, You hear me, Stay
with me. I guess we'll never

94
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:35.279
know who the better drinker is.
No no, no, no no no

95
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.919
no no no. You wake up. You ain't getting out of it that

96
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:48.759
easy. Come on, Joe,
come on, wake up. Don't touch

97
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:58.159
me. Don't touch him. Get
up, Joe, get up. God

98
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:09.559
damn audio file corrected seeking next closest
time steam Easy. Boys. I know

99
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.240
it hurts, but we need to
keep our heads on straight. How can

100
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:18.000
you expect us to stay calm?
We just fucking lost one of our own.

101
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.440
Lt. He didn't deserve to go
out like that. I know none

102
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:24.639
of this is fair, but we
can't let our emotions get the best of

103
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.399
us. We need to focus on
the mission, the mission. We're barely

104
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:33.080
holding this damned tank together, and
for what? So we can watch each

105
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.639
other die? Screw this fucking mission. We're getting the hell out of here.

106
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:45.639
I'm the commander of this mission.
Is that understood? I understand how

107
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.360
you feel. It's never been in
me to quit. So if you want

108
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.440
to leave, I won't stop you
this time. But if you stay,

109
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:58.759
I need you at your best.
All right, Lieutenant, I'm sorry.

110
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:07.519
I'm with you. Joe would want
us to go out guns at PLASTI how

111
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:26.799
about you? Ah, I'm in
two know you wouldn't survive without me anyway.

112
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.480
What the hell was that? I
don't know, Boss, I lost

113
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:39.120
steering. I'll go take a look. It looks like we've hit some Concertina.

114
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:43.159
Wire must have got jammed up in
the track, Sir, damn it,

115
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.200
that's our shit luck and in the
middle of fucking nowhere. Do you

116
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:48.799
think we can get the tracks back
on, Sergeant? It's hard to tell.

117
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:52.960
For one thing, it's too dark
to see what we're doing, and

118
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.200
I don't know what else is broken. So we are stuck here. Great,

119
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.720
okay, we'll fix it at first
light. Let's get some work.

120
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:05.159
What was that, Sergeant? Do
you see anything? No? I can't

121
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:07.759
see shit here? Should we go
take a look? Better safe than sorry?

122
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:18.000
Lt? All right, let's go. Keep your eyes open. You

123
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:24.840
don't know what's lurking out here in
the darkness. I don't see anything,

124
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:33.759
Sir. Maybe it was just an
animal or something. Did you hear that?

125
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:37.399
Yeah? I heard it. What
do you think it could be hard

126
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:54.960
to say? Let's get back to
the tank now. Well, whatever's making

127
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.720
those sounds, it's got me on
edge. There could be anything out here

128
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.399
in these woods. Jump to conclusions. What if it comes back, yelt,

129
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:05.360
what do we do? Then?
We'll handle it, Corporal, We're

130
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:11.799
armed and ready. Just what the
fuck is that the tank? Quiet?

131
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:39.759
You think it's gone? Boss?
No? I think this is just the

132
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:52.679
beginning seeking Next closest timestamp. I
don't see anything. Wait, what is

133
00:14:52.720 --> 00:15:05.879
that? Oh my god? What
the fuck? The hatch won't close?

134
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:22.120
Cut its fucking arm off? What
the fuck is going on? What was

135
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.600
that thing? We're gonna die,
We're going Get yourself together, soldier.

136
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:30.639
We have a new enemy and it
is not human. If we want to

137
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.039
live through this, we have to
stay calm and work together. Okay,

138
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:41.679
okay, I'm sorry, I'm good, Sergeant. Yeah, healthy. Let's

139
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:46.080
make sure every hatch is secure.
Get some rest. The bastard is going

140
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:48.600
to have to lick its wounds after
that one, but it will be back.

141
00:15:50.440 --> 00:16:06.200
I'll take first watch audiophile corrupted shiky. Next closest timestamp. Hey,

142
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:08.559
look that little shit had whiskey on
him the whole time. Hey, give

143
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:15.120
me that. Ah smells like home. Well, I hope your home don't

144
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.799
smell too much like stale beer and
sweat. Sergeant, Hey, speaking of

145
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.960
home, LT, Where are you
from anyway? You got a family?

146
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:29.200
I'm from a small town up north. Yes, I have a family,

147
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.919
a wife and two boys. What
are they like, sir, Let's get

148
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:38.559
some rust. Let me go see
the wolves. Dad, good dad,

149
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:45.240
Jim, of course, boys,
that's why we are here. Don't go

150
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:52.440
too fast. Wait for your father
and me. Wake up LT Hey,

151
00:16:52.639 --> 00:17:00.639
LT wake up? What? Wake
up? T Sir? Wake up?

152
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:07.440
Sergeant Reynolds left the tank. I
could hear him outside mumbling what do we

153
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:14.680
do? Let's not make any sudden
moves, Sir. We need to go

154
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.720
out there. We can't give up
our cover. Keep watch from here,

155
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:23.799
Corporal, stay ready in case we
need to act fast. We can't stay

156
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:29.440
here. We have to do something. It's flipping over the tank. Embrace

157
00:17:29.480 --> 00:18:15.960
yourselves tight, Corporal? You all
right? Yeah? Yeah, I think

158
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:21.039
so? What the hell just happens? Sir? I don't know. We

159
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:37.160
need to get out of here.
Let's move right, I'll say. We

160
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.400
gotta be ready for anything out here. Do an AMMO check. We need

161
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:45.519
to know what we're working with.
Yeah, yeah, we're really low on

162
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.160
AMMO, Sir. We're not gonna
last long. If we get into a

163
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:52.359
firefight, we'll need to be resourceful. Conserve your shots. We can't afford

164
00:18:52.440 --> 00:19:06.039
to waste any rounds. Sir.
Did you see that? What did you

165
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:12.839
see? There was something running through
the trees. It's fucking fast. Stay

166
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:23.880
low and keep moving cover me.
Okay, what are you doing? Oh?

167
00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:29.000
Fuck shit, shit shit shit shit, LT? What are you doing?

168
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:33.960
Why do you have Russell's bottle?
Take no time for a dream,

169
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.559
Elty, Come on, corporate,
We only have one shot of this.

170
00:19:37.920 --> 00:20:12.480
Get ready move like what to fuck
her up? Don't stop until it's down.

171
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:22.200
I think we got it? Cool? Did we did we? Really?

172
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:41.559
Oh? My god, yeah we
did. It's over audiophile corrected seeking

173
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:49.160
next closest timestamp. I can't believe
it. We actually made it. Oh

174
00:20:49.440 --> 00:21:03.160
shit, what the fuck is this
thing? M hm? Hey, LT,

175
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:17.279
didn't sarge? Oh shit, the
steak still has two arms. Wow,

176
00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:21.799
that's neat. Look at all of
them. How come they're all following

177
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:26.640
that big wolf. Well, wolves
live in packs. In a pack,

178
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:47.160
there's an alpha that leads them all, so they're no Tommy, you want

179
00:21:47.160 --> 00:22:06.559
it, then come take it.
Come on,
