synopsis
There's no room for argument in the matter: the most disliked member of King Company is an obnoxious newcomer named Mason (Eddie Ryder). But the Germans don't know this, and when they take Mason prisoner, they're certain that Saunders (Vic Morrow) will try to rescue him. Even if Saunders cared anything about Mason (which he doesn't), he has been given orders indicating that the man is expendable. But as it turns out, there is one member of the platoon who is willing to put his life on the line to save the redoubtable Mason. This is the final episode of Combat's second season.
