Britain's Secret Seas (2011)
S01E14 Under Siege
Episode Overview
The Bravo team is convinced that Westmoreland hasn't yet alerted the enemy about their weakening position, as Firebase Ladybird continues to endure relentless long-range artillery assaults. Out of the blue, a helicopter arrives and lands amidst the chaos—it's the new company commander, Captain Larry Heath. He initially charms the troops with gifts, but soon reveals himself to be an extreme zealot. Heath insists on launching an offensive, even as the base faces imminent attack. Zeke and Goldman rally the men to fortify their defenses, landing themselves in hot water. Their concerns are validated when a massive assault occurs, leading to the firebase being overrun. Tragically, Doc Matsuda, just 15 days shy of completing his tour, is killed while trying to save a patient.
