1. Tee, will you see whoever it is calling
so late in the evening?
Copy !req
2. Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
3. It's a man
in a uniform, ma'am.
Copy !req
4. Sidney Phillips.
Copy !req
5. - Oh! Father, Sid's here.
Copy !req
6. - I hope I didn't startle you, Mrs. Sledge.
- Oh, not at all.
Copy !req
7. Now who the hell is this
standing in my hallway?
Copy !req
8. - It's Sidney.
- Dr. Sledge.
Copy !req
9. There's more pie
on the counter.
Copy !req
10. Thank you, Rose.
Copy !req
11. I want you to speak frankly
about my Eugene.
Copy !req
12. - How is he, Sid?
- Now don't put the boy on the spot.
Copy !req
13. Mrs. Sledge,
Copy !req
14. Eugene's with a lot
of good marines.
Copy !req
15. The 1st is
the best there is.
Copy !req
16. They're great guys, too.
They look after each other.
Copy !req
17. Besides that, well,
he's a mortar man,
Copy !req
18. the same as me.
Us stovepipe boys,
Copy !req
19. we're always a little
behind the hot stuff,
Copy !req
20. which is a good place to be,
let me tell you.
Copy !req
21. Now I can't say this
about every marine I know,
Copy !req
22. but I'm not worried
about Eugene.
Copy !req
23. See, Father?
Copy !req
24. That's not
so hard to hear,
Copy !req
25. is it?
Copy !req
26. Second platoon corpsman, get up here!
Copy !req
27. What the hell you doing?
Copy !req
28. Break this shit down.
Get ready to move.
Copy !req
29. What do you got?
Any movement?
Copy !req
30. It's all quiet.
Copy !req
31. Any word on Hoosier?
Copy !req
32. Well, we got hit
pretty hard on the beach.
Copy !req
33. We're still sorting out
the casualties.
Copy !req
34. - Let's go.
- No word on ours, though.
Copy !req
35. God damn it, I just want
some fucking water.
Copy !req
36. There's a gook squad off the the right!
Copy !req
37. Man #2:
Yeah, they're coming from...
Copy !req
38. Hey. Hey!
Copy !req
39. Somebody found water.
I swear to Christ.
Copy !req
40. - Water.
- Somebody found water.
Copy !req
41. - Halle-fucking-lujah.
- There's plenty, boys.
Copy !req
42. - All right. Yeah.
Copy !req
43. Man #3:
Pass my helmet.
Copy !req
44. Oh, Jesus! Man!
Copy !req
45. It's poisoned.
Copy !req
46. Jap fuckers
poisoned it.
Copy !req
47. Man #4: Listen up, Weapons!
CO's got our orders!
Copy !req
48. All right, here it is.
Copy !req
49. The entire division's moving
across the airfield at 0900.
Copy !req
50. First and second
platoon will lead,
Copy !req
51. followed by Weapons
and third platoon.
Copy !req
52. The only way to stop this Jap artillery
is to get into those hills,
Copy !req
53. and the only way into those hills is
across this airfield.
Copy !req
54. When we move,
do not stop until we get across.
Copy !req
55. - You got it?
- All: Aye, Skipper.
Copy !req
56. Any questions?
Copy !req
57. We need water,
Captain.
Copy !req
58. I'm working
on it, Corporal.
Copy !req
59. Get your gear ready
and stand by.
Copy !req
60. Get back to your positions.
Pack it up!
Copy !req
61. Let's go, second squad!
Let's get back on line!
Copy !req
62. Man #2:
Let's go, rockets!
Copy !req
63. Pack 'em up!
Move it!
Copy !req
64. We have to cross that?
Copy !req
65. Quit whining.
Copy !req
66. It'll all be over
by the time you cross.
Copy !req
67. Japs hate mortars
and bazookas
Copy !req
68. as much
as riflemen, Leyden.
Copy !req
69. How many Japs
do you think are up there?
Copy !req
70. - Anybody got any asswipe?
- No asswipe, no chow,
Copy !req
71. no water.
So don't even think about it.
Copy !req
72. A nice cold sip
of water?
Copy !req
73. A little splash
on your head?
Copy !req
74. Put it right out
of your mind.
Copy !req
75. I've got a little water.
Copy !req
76. We gotta go!
Copy !req
77. Stand by!
Look alive!
Copy !req
78. Thank you.
Copy !req
79. Let's go!
Get that gear squared away!
Copy !req
80. You've been promoted.
Copy !req
81. You're gonna give him
the mortar sight?
Copy !req
82. It's the least
I can do for the water.
Copy !req
83. Second squad, on me!
Copy !req
84. Get off your ass.
Copy !req
85. Get under that gear.
We're moving shortly.
Copy !req
86. Man #2:
Stay alert! Stand by!
Copy !req
87. Hey, the 5th's dry too.
Copy !req
88. Maybe the Japs have
some over there.
Copy !req
89. How could they send
us up here without any fucking water?
Copy !req
90. Lucky?
Copy !req
91. Get your gear together!
Stand by to move out!
Copy !req
92. Thank God for the navy.
Copy !req
93. First and second platoon,
move out!
Copy !req
94. Let's move!
Let's move! Let's move!
Copy !req
95. Let's move!
Copy !req
96. Come on, first squad!
Stay on me!
Copy !req
97. - On me, second squad!
- Man #2: Hurry it up, people!
Copy !req
98. Left platoon,
move out!
Copy !req
99. Man #2: Go go go!
Move it! Let's go!
Copy !req
100. Always first.
Copy !req
101. - Man: Okay, let's cross the airfield!
- Right behind you, Bill.
Copy !req
102. - Man #2: Do not stop!
- Man #3: Move! Stay low!
Copy !req
103. Weapons, let's go!
Copy !req
104. First squad,
push dead ahead!
Copy !req
105. - See you on the other side!
- Haldane: Let's go!
Copy !req
106. Go! Hurry up!
Let's go!
Copy !req
107. - Man #3: Move it!
Copy !req
108. - Get him out of here!
Copy !req
109. Reassemble
at the fallen base!
Copy !req
110. Come on, Sledge! Move!
Copy !req
111. Let's go.
Copy !req
112. Listen up!
We're crossing the airfield!
Copy !req
113. Stand by to move out!
Copy !req
114. Get ready to cross!
Pass the word!
Copy !req
115. We're up!
How company!
Copy !req
116. On the left,
on the right, move out!
Copy !req
117. - See you on the other side!
- Let's go, marines!
Copy !req
118. - Let's go!
- Man: Go go go!
Copy !req
119. Move it!
Copy !req
120. My knee!
Copy !req
121. Man #2:
Corpsman, help me!
Copy !req
122. Stand by to move!
Copy !req
123. Seibel, move out!
Let's go!
Copy !req
124. Sonny! Joe!
Copy !req
125. - Sniper attack!
Copy !req
126. Let's go!
Move out! Go go!
Copy !req
127. Move out!
Let's go! Let's go!
Copy !req
128. Don't stop moving!
Let's go!
Copy !req
129. You're all right!
Get up!
Copy !req
130. You've got to get up!
Come on! You're all right!
Copy !req
131. - Man: Move it! Move it!
- Come on!
Copy !req
132. Hurts like hell!
Copy !req
133. Are you receiving?
Copy !req
134. Halfway across
the runway, sir.
Copy !req
135. We're taking heavy fire.
Copy !req
136. - Runner.
- We need an air strike.
Copy !req
137. We need...
we need an air strike...
Copy !req
138. to subdue Jap artillery
Copy !req
139. from the hill.
Copy !req
140. Are you receiving?
Copy !req
141. - Gotta get some fire on that bastard.
- We're gonna get you some help.
Copy !req
142. Are you receiving?
Are you receiving?
Copy !req
143. - I don't think we can send.
- Need a goddamn radio that works.
Copy !req
144. Fix it. Do you hear me?
Get it done.
Copy !req
145. - Yes, sir.
Copy !req
146. Leckie.
Copy !req
147. White Castle, this is How-4.
Do you read?
Copy !req
148. - Gotta go back.
- What about Conley?
Copy !req
149. Get us a radio
and a corpsman up here.
Copy !req
150. - I'll stay with Conley.
Copy !req
151. Okay.
Copy !req
152. White Castle,
this is How-4. Do you read?
Copy !req
153. Hey, I'm coming back.
I'm coming back. Do you hear me?
Copy !req
154. I'm coming back.
I'm coming back.
Copy !req
155. Come on,
stay with me.
Copy !req
156. Corpsman!
Hey, corpsman!
Copy !req
157. - Working time is at X-ray-5.
- Corpsman!
Copy !req
158. White Castle, White Castle,
do you read?
Copy !req
159. I need a corpsman
and a radio!
Copy !req
160. A radio?
You're better off
Copy !req
161. with two tin cans
and a fucking string.
Copy !req
162. plus 100. Over.
Copy !req
163. - Get me in contact!
- Man: White Castle...
Copy !req
164. This is Ack Ack.
Are you receiving? Drover-King-6...
Copy !req
165. We need an air strike
on it. Over.
Copy !req
166. We've gotta get the hell out of here!
Let's go! Let's go!
Copy !req
167. Let's go! Let's go!
Copy !req
168. - Come on! Let's go!
Copy !req
169. Man #2:
Get him on his feet! Keep moving!
Copy !req
170. - You're okay!
- Come on!
Copy !req
171. - Come on!
- Let's go!
Copy !req
172. Oswalt!
Copy !req
173. Let's go! Let's go!
Copy !req
174. Corpsman!
Hey, corpsman!
Copy !req
175. Corpsman!
Copy !req
176. Mortars, bomb center sector
and adjust!
Copy !req
177. Direct fire...
Copy !req
178. HE on the building
on your right front!
Copy !req
179. Leyden, get that gun
on the right!
Copy !req
180. - Hanging!
- Fire!
Copy !req
181. - Hanging!
- Fire two!
Copy !req
182. Get that one
on the left, Jay!
Copy !req
183. Direct fire, 100.
Copy !req
184. Base charge.
Copy !req
185. - Hanging.
- Fire!
Copy !req
186. - 100'! Hit 'em again!
- Four!
Copy !req
187. - Hanging.
- Fire!
Copy !req
188. Let's go, K company!
Move out!
Copy !req
189. Ah!
Copy !req
190. Spread out!
Keep moving!
Copy !req
191. - Man: Up.
Copy !req
192. Stop.
Copy !req
193. Easy.
Copy !req
194. - Squad leaders,
Copy !req
195. find your people,
check 'em out.
Copy !req
196. You JASCO people,
get set up and wired in.
Copy !req
197. I need an ammo count.
Copy !req
198. What do you got?
What do you need?
Copy !req
199. We'll have OPs
going up before dark.
Copy !req
200. - Here you go, guys.
- Haney: Standby to standby.
Copy !req
201. - That's all we've got. Pass it around.
Copy !req
202. - Is this ltem company?
- No, K-3-5.
Copy !req
203. I've got to get back
to Baker-1-7.
Copy !req
204. Do you have any idea
where they are?
Copy !req
205. No, I don't. I need you
to take our wounded back to the beach.
Copy !req
206. No can do.
We're moving out.
Copy !req
207. Hold here till
we load our wounded,
Copy !req
208. then you can move your ass
wherever you want.
Copy !req
209. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
210. Get the wounded aboard!
Copy !req
211. Let's get 'em
on board!
Copy !req
212. We're fine below!
Lower away!
Copy !req
213. - Out of the way, sir.
- Where do you want this one?
Copy !req
214. Right over here.
Copy !req
215. - Man #2: Clean this dressing.
- Doctor, his BP is falling.
Copy !req
216. Clamp the bleeder... right there.
Copy !req
217. I've got a diminished blood pressure.
Copy !req
218. Sponge.
Copy !req
219. He's gone. Get him below
and prep that abdominal.
Copy !req
220. Daniels:56,
Copy !req
221. 57,
Copy !req
222. 58...
Copy !req
223. Man #2: Set him down here.
Get a tourniquet on that.
Copy !req
224. 60, 61...
Copy !req
225. Dextrose. Take one now,
save one for the morning.
Copy !req
226. 62, 63,
Copy !req
227. 64,
Copy !req
228. 65,
Copy !req
229. - 66...
- Whatcha doing, Daniels?
Copy !req
230. - Water.
- Counting Japs.
Copy !req
231. One, two, three...
Copy !req
232. - What's the report, Hillbilly?
- 81 from battalion.
Copy !req
233. 60s are all here
and registered.
Copy !req
234. Gunny, I need another man
at second platoon LP.
Copy !req
235. Roger that.
Copy !req
236. Hey, Daniels.
Second platoon LP. Let's go.
Copy !req
237. I can count Japs from here.
Copy !req
238. Hey, Daniels,
did you hear me?
Copy !req
239. - I said...
- Gunny. Gunny.
Copy !req
240. Find someone else for him.
I need Daniels here.
Copy !req
241. Aye, Skipper.
Copy !req
242. Doc, Daniels is gonna come
help you count bandages,
Copy !req
243. - maybe get a little shut-eye.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
244. Come on, Private.
Let someone else take over.
Copy !req
245. There's so many
to count.
Copy !req
246. I know, Private.
I know.
Copy !req
247. All right, Daniels.
Copy !req
248. Just as easily been me
counting Japs I can't see.
Copy !req
249. But it's not you.
Copy !req
250. Sir, coming across
the airfield today...
Copy !req
251. I've never been more scared
in my entire life.
Copy !req
252. We're all afraid.
Copy !req
253. All of us.
Copy !req
254. A man who isn't scared out here is
either a liar or dead.
Copy !req
255. History is full of wars
Copy !req
256. fought for 100 reasons.
Copy !req
257. But this war, our war,
Copy !req
258. I want to believe...
Copy !req
259. I have to believe
Copy !req
260. that every step
across that airfield
Copy !req
261. every man that's wounded,
every man I lose...
Copy !req
262. that it's all worthwhile
because our cause is just.
Copy !req
263. Of course, if a just cause came
with some hot food and cold water,
Copy !req
264. that'd be okay too.
Copy !req
265. Rest up, boys.
Copy !req
266. - Thought you might need that.
- Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
267. Ack Ack got me my battlefield
commission on the Canal.
Copy !req
268. Seems like
1,000 years ago now.
Copy !req
269. You handled yourself
well today, Sledge.
Copy !req
270. You'll be all right.
Copy !req
271. Just remember
your training.
Copy !req
272. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
273. order
for the 3rd Battalion
Copy !req
274. to make a company-sized
frontal assault.
Copy !req
275. G2 thinks the bulk
of the Japanese defenses
Copy !req
276. are dug into the ridges
that run up the spine of the valley.
Copy !req
277. Until we take the high ground,
they'll keep plastering us.
Copy !req
278. We're moving into the hills!
Copy !req
279. Let's move, people!
Copy !req
280. - Pork chops.
- Pork chops? That's my meat.
Copy !req
281. Courtesy
of LST-661.
Copy !req
282. - About time.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
283. - Let's go. Let's go.
Copy !req
284. Saw you reading
last night.
Copy !req
285. My Bible.
Copy !req
286. Writing too.
Copy !req
287. Ain't supposed
to write shit down, you know.
Copy !req
288. It gives the Japs valuable intel
if they find it.
Copy !req
289. I guess I won't show it
to them then.
Copy !req
290. Got a smoke?
Copy !req
291. Thanks, Sledgehammer.
Copy !req
292. Sledgehammer.
Copy !req
293. I like that.
Copy !req
294. - Jesus Christ.
- Snafu: Don't worry.
Copy !req
295. We've got a nickname
for you too, Bill Leyden.
Copy !req
296. We call you
ball-peen hammer...
Copy !req
297. a little hammer
for a little man.
Copy !req
298. All right, Snafu.
Copy !req
299. Shit 'n' ass...
Copy !req
300. fuck up.
Copy !req
301. - Little joke from the little man.
Copy !req
302. - Gunny, get someone from mortars.
- Aye, Skipper.
Copy !req
303. Burgie, get me an FO.
Copy !req
304. - Sledge.
- Haldane: You too, Leyden. Let's go.
Copy !req
305. - First squad, follow me!
- Hold 'em here, Sergeant.
Copy !req
306. - Set up a security perimeter.
- Aye, sir.
Copy !req
307. Set up
a security perimeter.
Copy !req
308. Machine guns move out
to the left and right flank.
Copy !req
309. Riflemen,
faced outwards.
Copy !req
310. Second squad, 36, let's go.
Copy !req
311. Man #2:
91 over on the right!
Copy !req
312. Looks like two heavy
bamboo machine guns,
Copy !req
313. probably more.
Copy !req
314. I need to get
a better look.
Copy !req
315. - Sledge, Leyden.
- No no, I'm gonna scout it.
Copy !req
316. - You sure?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
317. Get your top ready.
Copy !req
318. Skipper, pull back!
Copy !req
319. Stay on those guns!
Copy !req
320. It's a fortress up there.
Copy !req
321. We've gotta move!
Pull back!
Copy !req
322. - Pull back!
- Let's go! Let's go!
Copy !req
323. Pull back!
Copy !req
324. - Man: Skipper coming in!
- Man #2: Hold your fire!
Copy !req
325. - Radio, get me battalion.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
326. White Castle, this is Harper Field.
Do you read?
Copy !req
327. Do you read?
Copy !req
328. Master White, Ack Ack.
We've done the recon.
Copy !req
329. Objective is
heavily fortified.
Copy !req
330. Limited approaches
and plunging fire all the way.
Copy !req
331. We can't take this objective without
unacceptable casualties.
Copy !req
332. Do you copy?
Copy !req
333. Fuck.
Copy !req
334. I've got to go back
to battalion,
Copy !req
335. get these orders changed.
Copy !req
336. Good luck.
Copy !req
337. If I don't come back,
the company's yours.
Copy !req
338. Do you think
he'll come back?
Copy !req
339. You disobey orders,
you get court-martialed.
Copy !req
340. You guys,
check your weapons.
Copy !req
341. Keep a round chambered.
Copy !req
342. Done.
Copy !req
343. Can you believe this
bullshit about the dog?
Copy !req
344. Some dog's supposed
to smell a Jap before me?
Copy !req
345. I don't think so.
Copy !req
346. I appreciate the thought, but ain't no dog
gonna make me sleep safe at night.
Copy !req
347. I've got a dog.
Copy !req
348. His name's Deacon.
Copy !req
349. You keep fucking
that stovepipe.
Copy !req
350. If the Nips come through here at high port
with fixed bayonets,
Copy !req
351. you nail 'em with flare
and HE as fast as you can.
Copy !req
352. - You think you can do that?
- We've got it, Gunny.
Copy !req
353. I was asking
Sledgehammer.
Copy !req
354. Yes, Gunny Haney.
Copy !req
355. Woof.
Copy !req
356. What the fuck was that?
Copy !req
357. - Hey, stovetop boys... woof!
Copy !req
358. What's that?
Copy !req
359. Sounds like some guy
having a nightmare.
Copy !req
360. He'd better shut up before every
Nip on this island knows we're here.
Copy !req
361. Quiet that man down.
Copy !req
362. God damn it,
shut up.
Copy !req
363. - No! No!
- Hillbilly: Quiet down!
Copy !req
364. Hold him down!
Stick him with morphine.
Copy !req
365. Shut that fucker up.
Copy !req
366. - Stick him with morphine.
Copy !req
367. - Jesus Christ, who the hell is that?
Copy !req
368. Hold him down. Calm down.
Copy !req
369. Help me, please!
Help me!
Copy !req
370. That guy is gonna get us all killed
if he don't shut up.
Copy !req
371. Hold him down.
Hold him.
