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. (gasps)
Sidney Phillips.
Copy !req
5. - Oh! Father, Sid's here.
- (Sid chuckles)
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.
- (water sloshing)
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. (man yells)
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!
- (plane engines roaring)
Copy !req
108. - (man screams)
- 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. - (men screaming)
- (machine guns firing)
Copy !req
120. Move it!
Copy !req
121. My knee!
Copy !req
122. Man #2:
Corpsman, help me!
Copy !req
123. Stand by to move!
Copy !req
124. Seibel, move out!
Let's go!
Copy !req
125. Sonny! Joe!
Copy !req
126. - Sniper attack!
- (rifles firing)
Copy !req
127. Let's go!
Move out! Go go!
Copy !req
128. Move out!
Let's go! Let's go!
Copy !req
129. Don't stop moving!
Let's go!
Copy !req
130. You're all right!
Get up!
Copy !req
131. You've got to get up!
Come on! You're all right!
Copy !req
132. - Man: Move it! Move it!
- Come on!
Copy !req
133. Hurts like hell!
Copy !req
134. (slurring)
Are you receiving?
Copy !req
135. Halfway across
the runway, sir.
Copy !req
136. We're taking heavy fire.
Copy !req
137. - Runner.
- We need an air strike.
Copy !req
138. We need...
we need an air strike...
Copy !req
139. (gurgles)
to subdue Jap artillery
Copy !req
140. from the hill.
(gagging)
Copy !req
141. Are you receiving?
Copy !req
142. - Gotta get some fire on that bastard.
- We're gonna get you some help.
Copy !req
143. Are you receiving?
Are you receiving?
Copy !req
144. - I don't think we can send.
- Need a goddamn radio that works.
Copy !req
145. Fix it. Do you hear me?
Get it done.
Copy !req
146. - Yes, sir.
- (machine gun fires)
Copy !req
147. Leckie.
Copy !req
148. White Castle, this is How-4.
Do you read?
Copy !req
149. - Gotta go back.
- What about Conley?
Copy !req
150. Get us a radio
and a corpsman up here.
Copy !req
151. - I'll stay with Conley.
- (gunfire continues)
Copy !req
152. Okay.
Copy !req
153. White Castle,
this is How-4. Do you read?
Copy !req
154. Hey, I'm coming back.
I'm coming back. Do you hear me?
Copy !req
155. I'm coming back.
I'm coming back.
Copy !req
156. Come on,
stay with me.
Copy !req
157. Corpsman!
Hey, corpsman!
Copy !req
158. - Working time is at X-ray-5.
- Corpsman!
Copy !req
159. White Castle, White Castle,
do you read?
Copy !req
160. I need a corpsman
and a radio!
Copy !req
161. A radio?
You're better off
Copy !req
162. with two tin cans
and a fucking string.
Copy !req
163. plus 100. Over.
Copy !req
164. - Get me in contact!
- Man: White Castle...
Copy !req
165. This is Ack Ack.
Are you receiving? Drover-King-6...
Copy !req
166. We need an air strike
on it. Over.
Copy !req
167. We've gotta get the hell out of here!
Let's go! Let's go!
Copy !req
168. Let's go! Let's go!
Copy !req
169. - Come on! Let's go!
- (gunfire continues)
Copy !req
170. Man #2:
Get him on his feet! Keep moving!
Copy !req
171. - You're okay!
- Come on!
Copy !req
172. - Come on!
- Let's go!
Copy !req
173. Oswalt!
Copy !req
174. Let's go! Let's go!
Copy !req
175. Corpsman!
Hey, corpsman!
Copy !req
176. Corpsman!
Copy !req
177. Mortars, bomb center sector
and adjust!
Copy !req
178. Direct fire...
Copy !req
179. HE on the building
on your right front!
Copy !req
180. - (men shouting)
- (machine gun firing)
Copy !req
181. Leyden, get that gun
on the right!
Copy !req
182. - Hanging!
- Fire!
Copy !req
183. - Hanging!
- Fire two!
Copy !req
184. Get that one
on the left, Jay!
Copy !req
185. Direct fire, 100.
Copy !req
186. Base charge.

Copy !req
188. - 100'! Hit 'em again!
- Four!
Copy !req
189. - Hanging.
- Fire!
Copy !req
190. Let's go, K company!
Move out!
Copy !req
191. Ah!
Copy !req
192. Spread out!
Keep moving!
Copy !req
193. - (groaning)
- Man: Up.
Copy !req
194. Stop.
Copy !req
195. Easy.
Copy !req
196. - (bomb explodes)
- Squad leaders,
Copy !req
197. find your people,
check 'em out.
Copy !req
198. You JASCO people,
get set up and wired in.
Copy !req
199. I need an ammo count.
Copy !req
200. What do you got?
What do you need?
Copy !req
201. We'll have OPs
going up before dark.
Copy !req
202. - Here you go, guys.
- Haney: Standby to standby.
Copy !req
203. - That's all we've got. Pass it around.
- (tank clanking)
Copy !req
204. - Is this ltem company?
- No, K-3-5.
Copy !req
205. I've got to get back
to Baker-1-7.
Copy !req
206. Do you have any idea
where they are?
Copy !req
207. No, I don't. I need you
to take our wounded back to the beach.
Copy !req
208. No can do.
We're moving out.
Copy !req
209. Hold here till
we load our wounded,
Copy !req
210. then you can move your ass
wherever you want.
Copy !req
211. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
212. Get the wounded aboard!
Copy !req
213. Let's get 'em
on board!
Copy !req
214. We're fine below!
Lower away!
Copy !req
215. - Out of the way, sir.
- Where do you want this one?
Copy !req
216. Right over here.
Copy !req
217. - Man #2: Clean this dressing.
- Doctor, his BP is falling.
Copy !req
218. Clamp the bleeder... right there.
Copy !req
219. I've got a diminished blood pressure.
Copy !req
220. Sponge.
Copy !req
221. He's gone. Get him below
and prep that abdominal.
Copy !req
222. Daniels:56,
Copy !req
223. 57,
Copy !req
224. 58...
Copy !req
225. Man #2: Set him down here.
Get a tourniquet on that.
Copy !req
226. 60, 61...
Copy !req
227. Dextrose. Take one now,
save one for the morning.
Copy !req
228. 62, 63,
Copy !req
229. 64,
Copy !req
230. 65,
Copy !req
231. - 66...
- Whatcha doing, Daniels?
Copy !req
232. - Water.
- Counting Japs.
Copy !req
233. One, two, three...
Copy !req
234. - What's the report, Hillbilly?
- 81 from battalion.
Copy !req
235. 60s are all here
and registered.
Copy !req
236. Gunny, I need another man
at second platoon LP.
Copy !req
237. Roger that.
Copy !req
238. Hey, Daniels.
Second platoon LP. Let's go.
Copy !req
239. I can count Japs from here.
Copy !req
240. Hey, Daniels,
did you hear me?
Copy !req
241. - I said...
- Gunny. Gunny.
Copy !req
242. Find someone else for him.
I need Daniels here.
Copy !req
243. Aye, Skipper.
Copy !req
244. Doc, Daniels is gonna come
help you count bandages,
Copy !req
245. - maybe get a little shut-eye.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
246. Come on, Private.
Let someone else take over.
Copy !req
247. There's so many
to count.
Copy !req
248. I know, Private.
I know.
Copy !req
249. All right, Daniels.
Copy !req
250. Just as easily been me
counting Japs I can't see.
Copy !req
251. But it's not you.
Copy !req
252. Sir, coming across
the airfield today...
Copy !req
253. I've never been more scared
in my entire life.
Copy !req
254. We're all afraid.
Copy !req
255. All of us.
Copy !req
256. A man who isn't scared out here is
either a liar or dead.
Copy !req
257. History is full of wars
Copy !req
258. fought for 100 reasons.
Copy !req
259. But this war, our war,
Copy !req
260. I want to believe...
Copy !req
261. I have to believe
Copy !req
262. that every step
across that airfield
Copy !req
263. every man that's wounded,
every man I lose...
Copy !req
264. that it's all worthwhile
because our cause is just.
Copy !req
265. Of course, if a just cause came
with some hot food and cold water,
Copy !req
266. that'd be okay too.
Copy !req
267. Rest up, boys.
Copy !req
268. - Thought you might need that.
- Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
269. Ack Ack got me my battlefield
commission on the Canal.
Copy !req
270. Seems like
1,000 years ago now.
Copy !req
271. You handled yourself
well today, Sledge.
Copy !req
272. You'll be all right.
Copy !req
273. Just remember
your training.
Copy !req
274. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
275. order
for the 3rd Battalion
Copy !req
276. to make a company-sized
frontal assault.
Copy !req
277. G2 thinks the bulk
of the Japanese defenses
Copy !req
278. are dug into the ridges
that run up the spine of the valley.
Copy !req
279. Until we take the high ground,
they'll keep plastering us.
Copy !req
280. We're moving into the hills!
Copy !req
281. Let's move, people!
Copy !req
282. - Pork chops.
- Pork chops? That's my meat.
Copy !req
283. Courtesy
of LST-661.
Copy !req
284. - About time.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
285. - Let's go. Let's go.
- (men chatting)
Copy !req
286. Saw you reading
last night.
Copy !req
287. My Bible.
Copy !req
288. Writing too.
Copy !req
289. Ain't supposed
to write shit down, you know.
Copy !req
290. It gives the Japs valuable intel
if they find it.
Copy !req
291. I guess I won't show it
to them then.
Copy !req
292. Got a smoke?
Copy !req
293. Thanks, Sledgehammer.
Copy !req
294. Sledgehammer.
Copy !req
295. I like that.
Copy !req
296. - Jesus Christ.
- Snafu: Don't worry.
Copy !req
297. We've got a nickname
for you too, Bill Leyden.
Copy !req
298. We call you
ball-peen hammer...
Copy !req
299. a little hammer
for a little man.
Copy !req
300. All right, Snafu.
Copy !req
301. Shit 'n' ass...
Copy !req
302. fuck up.
Copy !req
303. - (chuckles)
- Little joke from the little man.
Copy !req
304. - Gunny, get someone from mortars.
- Aye, Skipper.
Copy !req
305. Burgie, get me an FO.
Copy !req
306. - Sledge.
- Haldane: You too, Leyden. Let's go.
Copy !req
307. - First squad, follow me!
- Hold 'em here, Sergeant.
Copy !req
308. - Set up a security perimeter.
- Aye, sir.
Copy !req
309. Set up
a security perimeter.
Copy !req
310. Machine guns move out
to the left and right flank.
Copy !req
311. Riflemen,
faced outwards.
Copy !req
312. Second squad, 36, let's go.
Copy !req
313. Man #2:
91 over on the right!
Copy !req
314. Looks like two heavy
bamboo machine guns,
Copy !req
315. probably more.
Copy !req
316. I need to get
a better look.
Copy !req
317. - Sledge, Leyden.
- No no, I'm gonna scout it.
Copy !req
318. - You sure?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
319. Get your top ready.
Copy !req
320. Skipper, pull back!
Copy !req
321. Stay on those guns!
Copy !req
322. It's a fortress up there.
Copy !req
323. We've gotta move!
Pull back!
Copy !req
324. - Pull back!
- Let's go! Let's go!
Copy !req
325. Pull back!
Copy !req
326. - Man: Skipper coming in!
- Man #2: Hold your fire!
Copy !req
327. - Radio, get me battalion.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
328. White Castle, this is Harper Field.
Do you read?
Copy !req
329. Do you read?
Copy !req
330. Master White, Ack Ack.
We've done the recon.
Copy !req
331. Objective is
heavily fortified.
Copy !req
332. Limited approaches
and plunging fire all the way.
Copy !req
333. We can't take this objective without
unacceptable casualties.
Copy !req
334. Do you copy?
Copy !req
335. Fuck.
Copy !req
336. I've got to go back
to battalion,
Copy !req
337. get these orders changed.
Copy !req
338. Good luck.
Copy !req
339. If I don't come back,
the company's yours.
Copy !req
340. Do you think
he'll come back?
Copy !req
341. You disobey orders,
you get court-martialed.
Copy !req
342. You guys,
check your weapons.
Copy !req
343. Keep a round chambered.
Copy !req
344. Done.
Copy !req
345. Can you believe this
bullshit about the dog?
Copy !req
346. Some dog's supposed
to smell a Jap before me?
Copy !req
347. I don't think so.
Copy !req
348. I appreciate the thought, but ain't no dog
gonna make me sleep safe at night.
Copy !req
349. I've got a dog.
Copy !req
350. His name's Deacon.
Copy !req
351. You keep fucking
that stovepipe.
Copy !req
352. If the Nips come through here at high port
with fixed bayonets,
Copy !req
353. you nail 'em with flare
and HE as fast as you can.
Copy !req
354. - You think you can do that?
- We've got it, Gunny.
Copy !req
355. I was asking
Sledgehammer.
Copy !req
356. Yes, Gunny Haney.
Copy !req
357. Woof.
Copy !req
358. What the fuck was that?
Copy !req
359. - (men laughing)
- Hey, stovetop boys... woof!
Copy !req
360. What's that?
Copy !req
361. Sounds like some guy
having a nightmare.
Copy !req
362. He'd better shut up before every
Nip on this island knows we're here.
Copy !req
363. Quiet that man down.
Copy !req
364. God damn it,
shut up.
