%% Either I took too long during the commercial break or it was skipped over the part in which they figure out where the pipeline is and whether or not the general was right

The Rat Patrol carry out the attack on the pipeline, blowing it up. Hitchcock gets shot and collapses, but it looks like he'll live. However, Lansbury dies of his wounds, probably never realizing that the Rat Patrol carried out his order after all.

Added DiffLines:

* AgonizingStomachWound: Lansbury is suffering from one throughout the episode, but downplays it until it's too late to save him.
* BittersweetEnding: Lansbury probably doesn't live long enough to see the Rat Patrol destroy the pipeline.

Troy thinks Lansbury is too ill to be giving orders, but Moffitt thinks that's mutiny. However, when Lansbury points to an area of solid rock as the location of the oil pipeline, Moffitt begins to doubt the general's sanity. Aware that the Rats are questioning his judgment, Lansbury condemns them as traitors and tries to arrest them. Troy and Moffitt lay down their pistols, but then Lansbury passes out. It turns out that the general's injuries were worse than he let on; a stomach wound he'd claimed was "worse than it looks" is actually life-threatening. Moffitt says that even if they get Lansbury to a field hospital, he might not survive.

The Rat Patrol carry out the attack on the pipeline. Hitchcock gets shot, but it looks like he'll survive. The general, on the other hand, died, probably not even knowing that the Rat Patrol did carry out his order.

After Hitchcock gets patched up, Troy thinks the patient is well enough to go back on duty. Hitchcock tells them that's not the case, that he needs a night to recuperate and to send in the nurse. It is implied that the patient and the nurse will have sex in the medical tent.

* EternalSexualFreedom averted somewhat: Neither Troy, Moffitt nor Pettigrew seem to object to their comrade having sex with a nurse. The nurse delivers something to the tent, goes back out, looks around to make sure none of her medical colleagues see her, then goes back in the tent.
* LevelMapDisplay as the Allies and the Nazis make their way to the pipeline.
