1. The Purple Testament First Aired: 12 February 1960

2. You're traveling to another dimension.

3. A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind.

4. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination.

5. Next stop: The Twilight Zone

6. Keep those trucks coming. Close it up.

7. I said close it up.

8. Infantry platoon, U.S. Army, Philippine Islands, 1945.

9. These are the faces of the young men who fight.

10. As if some omniscient painter had mixed a tube of oils.

11. That were at one time earth-brown, dust-grey. And fear, yellow-white.

12. And these men were the models.

13. For this is the province of combat.

14. And these are the faces of war.

15. Evening, captain.

16. Ain't it a crummy night? - Rough?

17. We've got the bridge, whatever they want it for.

18. Japs have got naval guns. That bridge gets it every three minutes.

19. The Jap fleet is dug in on the road to Manila.

20. Sergeant, who'd we lose?

21. Lots of wounded. Maybe ten, twelve. Four dead.

22. Hibbard, Horton, Morgan and Levy.

23. All right, sergeant, bed them down. Check with the mess.

24. Get them hot coffee and a meal. If they're not hungry, eat anyway.

25. A-company, first platoon, chow down.

26. Fitz. - Sir?

27. Look, I have got me a bottle of Philippine tu pa in my tent.

28. It's the best. But you'd be surprised what it does to a man's outlook.

29. Come on.

30. Cheers.

31. Bad day, Fitz? - A lot of wounded, four dead.

32. All in two and a half hours. 12 wounded, four dead.

33. Anything special about the four?

34. Anything special? What do you mean?

35. We've lost four men before. We've lost eight and ten.

36. You seem to be taking this a little harder than usual.

37. I just wondered if there was something special.

38. These four men were all under 21. Does it have to be more special?

39. No, but this has gotten to you. More than I've ever seen.

40. I'd just like to know why.

41. You're a perceptive man, Phil. It's the mark of a good officer.

42. To ward off trouble by anticipating.

43. Are you gonna give me a hard time?

44. I don't think so. You're a good officer. You got guts and brains.

45. But something has gotten to you. I'd like to know what it is.

46. Would you?

47. Hibbard, Horton, Morgan, Levy.

48. Killed in action, Luzon, P.I., 13 January 1945.

49. So you want to know what's gotten into me.

50. I wrote those names down yesterday.

51. I wrote them down before we went up. - Why did you write down the names?

52. We had a weapons check and I looked into their faces.

53. And those four men...

54. Feel better? - I looked into 44 faces yesterday.

55. And when I got to those four, there was something special.

56. A light or something. There isn't any description.

57. I looked into their faces and I knew. I knew this was their last day.

58. I knew they were going to get it. There wasn't any doubt about it.

59. Well, that's funny. That's real funny.

60. I haven't slept much.

61. I keep wondering: Is this the way it's going to be?

62. If every time I stand in front of a platoon...

63. am I going to look down the line and know which ones aren't coming back?

64. When did you write these names down? You're sure it was yesterday?

65. And not today on the way back? - Yesterday.

66. Yesterday morning, I swear to you. I wrote those names down yesterday.

67. I can't tell. The stuff you've given me is inconclusive.

68. He's never been wounded. Looks like a pretty steady customer.

69. No evidence of battle fatigue or so.

70. Why he should suddenly get this weird idea is hard to say.

71. But we better run some checks.

72. He believes it. You hear him tell it you almost believe it yourself.

73. I'd appreciate you taking a look at him. He's a good man.

74. He's one of the best officers we've got.

75. I'll do what I can. He's here now. - No, I didn't know.

76. He's in the ward visiting one of the boys from his platoon.

77. I'm fine, lieutenant. How's the rest of the boys?

78. Oh, they're all fine. Porky got a piece of shrapnel on his finger.

79. You know Porky, that's about as bad as he ever got.

80. He's a lucky kid. - That he is.

81. You're doing okay too. You get all patched up and you'll be going home.

82. That's not so hard to take, is it? - No, sir.

83. It sure isn't.

84. No, no. Thank you, sir.

85. Please, lay it down over there. I won't be needing it for a while.

86. Listen, Smitty, I got some stuff to do so I'll see you tomorrow.

87. You take it easy, you hear? - Yes, sir.

88. Anything you need? Stuff to read? - All I need.

89. You take care, Smitty.

90. Thanks for coming, lieutenant. Good-bye.

91. Good-bye, Smitty.

92. You okay, lieutenant? - Yeah, I'm okay.

93. He's dead. Just like that.

94. They go awful quick sometimes.

95. Fitz?

96. I was up seeing Smitty.

97. Yeah, I know. I read his tag. Doc said he's going to be okay.

98. I took a look at his face.

99. I took a look at his face, and I knew.

100. And a minute later, he's gone.

101. Same thing? - Same thing. The look.

102. The funny light or whatever it is.

103. And I knew, Phil.

104. Fitz, I can't explain this, but... - I don't want you to explain it.

105. How can you explain it?

106. How can anybody explain it?

107. I just want you to believe it, captain.

108. I want you to believe it.

109. Bed five, sir. Smith. He just died.

110. I'll have a look at him. - For what?

111. There's nothing to look at but a body. He's dead.

112. And I knew he was going to die - Go on back. I'll be right in.

113. So you knew, lieutenant? - You bet I did.

114. I tabbed four men the other day. - That's odd, don't you think?

115. Odd? That's not odd, captain.

116. Odd is when you go 30 days on the line and you don't lose a man.

117. Odd is when you walk 25 miles and you don't get a blister. That's odd.

118. This isn't odd, captain. This is nightmare.

119. This is a lousy, dog-faced officer who can see death on people's faces.

120. You're a dog-faced officer who's cracking under the strain.

121. And finally having to succumb to it.

122. I'm five for five, captain. How many coincidences add up to a fact?

123. How many men do I have to tab as the least likely to succeed?

124. How many more faces do I have to look into?

125. When do you guys realize that somewhere along the line...

126. I picked up a talent they don't teach at O.C.S.

127. One thing you might do while you're waiting and scratching:

128. Put tape over my eyes or poke them out. So I won't be able to see.

129. So I won't have to look at any more faces.

130. Now we spearhead the attack moving across at the point.

131. Followed by Baker and Charlie company. At this point to the east...

132. Some Filipino guerrillas will be crossing the river by boat.

133. Their job will be to knock out all Jap guns on that side of the river.

134. We should be able to move across the bridge against only small arms fire.

135. We've got about 22 minutes before we load up the trucks.

136. Give your platoons a good briefing.

137. Make sure that each man has a belt, five grenades, six ammo clips.

138. And no backpacks.

139. All right. That's it. Good luck.

140. Captain, you still want my platoon to take the point?

141. I don't know yet, Fitz. I think that probably...

142. What's the matter, Fitz?

143. Are you well enough to take the platoon?

144. Gunther thinks you'd be better off with three weeks back at division.

145. This thing will take a few hours but it will be messy.

146. Captain, you better not go. - Why, Fitz?

147. Yeah. It's on your face too. If you go, you won't be coming back.

148. Fitz, get your platoons set. You've only got about 15 minutes left.

149. I'll tell you what we'll do.

150. We'll talk about it when we get back. We'll drink to an illusion.

151. That's it. I'll see you at the trucks. - You won't be drinking to anything.

152. Because you're not coming back.

153. Lieutenant? What about it?

154. Everybody says you can tell.

155. Everybody says you know who's going to get it. And who isn't.

156. How about it, lieutenant? Give us a break, huh?

157. Come on. It ain't fair... - Knock it off, Freeman.

158. All right, sergeant.

159. Somebody started this wild gag and somebody will get burned for it.

160. There's nobody in this company who's a mind-reader.

161. Including lieutenant Fitzgerald. All right, lieutenant?

162. Yeah. That's right, sir.

163. All right, sergeant, let's go. - Yes, sir. Let's go.

164. Okay, load 'em up. Let's go. In the trucks, everybody.

165. Close it up. All right, close it up.

166. Okay, first platoon, fall in.

167. Forget about extra details. Let's do it the same.

168. Come on, hurry it up. Fall in. Roll call.

169. Verall. Ashbar.

170. Blackman. Connolly.

171. Fitz. Just thought I'd drop around..

172. and congratulate you boys on the good job you did.

173. The odds fell on our side. Those guerrillas blew up those guns.

174. And you fellows walked right across.

175. That's fortunate. The air force must have picked off seven of those 25s.

176. If those guns were operating, that had been your longest bridge ever.

177. Or the shortest. Sniper fire, that's all you had?

178. We lost one man.

179. Oh, that's a pity.

180. He was a good man.

181. You were good friends, weren't you, Fitzgerald?

182. So much for Mrs Riker's lovely wedding.

183. Seven happy years.

184. Two fine sons.

185. Man, war stinks.

186. Lieutenant?

187. Captain Gunther wants to see you.

188. You are to report back to division, lieutenant.

189. They want to look you over. It'll be a nice couple weeks rest for you.

190. Take your gear with you. - Okay. Thank you, captain.

191. Lieutenant Fitzgerald?

192. The jeep's ready to take you back to division. Any time you're ready.

193. Lieutenant Fitzgerald? This your bag, sir?

194. Yes, that's my bag. - May I put it in the jeep for you?

195. Well, sir, we're ready any time you are.

196. Well, it's a little bouncy, sir. But it sure beats walking.

197. You're going back to division? - Yeah. The further back, the better.

198. You're taking the convenient road? - I got to. There's a bridge up there.

199. The engineers spotted some mines there. They haven't dug them up yet.

200. So take it easy and stay close to the shoulders.

201. I want you to take good care of the lieutenant here.

202. I'm the most careful driver in the United States Army.

203. If I can lift this jeep and walk tippytoe carrying it, I'd do it.

204. You may as well get comfortable. We got a four-hour ride ahead of us.

205. Do we?

206. I doubt it.

207. You play that pretty good.

208. One hand.

209. Did you hear that? - Thunder?

210. I don't think so. It sounded more like an explosion.

211. Maybe it was thunder. Yeah. That's what it was probably thunder.

212. From William Shakespeare. A line from Richard the Third.

213. 'He has come to open the purple testament of bleeding war.'

214. For lieutenant William Fitzgerald, A-company, first platoon...

215. the testament is closed.

216. Lieutenant Fitzgerald has found the Twilight Zone.
