1
00:00:03,999 --> 00:00:06,706
March, 1944...
2
00:00:06,740 --> 00:00:09,575
After four months of fierce
jungle combat,
3
00:00:09,609 --> 00:00:11,015
The Marines of the 1st Division
4
00:00:11,049 --> 00:00:13,518
Were withdrawn from
Cape Gloucester.
5
00:00:15,956 --> 00:00:18,324
Veteran #1: We were absolutely certain
we were going to go back
6
00:00:18,358 --> 00:00:21,460
To Melbourne to rest again.
7
00:00:21,495 --> 00:00:25,330
But no, we ended up on
an island called Pavuvu.
8
00:00:26,832 --> 00:00:30,234
Pavuvu, part of the
Solomon island chain,
9
00:00:30,268 --> 00:00:32,435
Is just north of Guadalcanal.
10
00:00:34,638 --> 00:00:37,206
Once a thriving coconut
plantation,
11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,508
It was abandoned when the
war broke out.
12
00:00:41,478 --> 00:00:44,680
The guy that picked that out,
he sure didn't know what he was doing.
13
00:00:44,714 --> 00:00:48,219
It was the nastiest,
dirtiest looking place under the sun.
14
00:00:48,253 --> 00:00:51,623
All kinds of things
just grew in profusion,
15
00:00:51,658 --> 00:00:54,227
Especially the rat population.
16
00:00:54,261 --> 00:00:56,531
The land crabs would
come out at night
17
00:00:56,565 --> 00:01:00,034
And you could hear them
clackity-clacking and clicking around.
18
00:01:00,068 --> 00:01:02,104
And they would get
into your shoes.
19
00:01:04,340 --> 00:01:06,375
Veteran #5: A lot of
training started.
20
00:01:06,409 --> 00:01:08,777
And it seemed to get
heavier and heavier,
21
00:01:08,811 --> 00:01:11,913
So you knew we were gonna go
somewhere into combat.
22
00:01:13,715 --> 00:01:15,883
In late August, 1944,
23
00:01:15,918 --> 00:01:18,285
The 1st Division shipped
out again
24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,357
Headed for a small coral island between
Guam and the Philippines...
25
00:01:22,392 --> 00:01:24,760
Peleliu.
26
00:01:24,794 --> 00:01:27,730
Only six miles long and
two miles wide,
27
00:01:27,764 --> 00:01:29,632
Peleliu held an airstrip
28
00:01:29,666 --> 00:01:31,902
that was close to the
Philippine islands.
29
00:01:31,936 --> 00:01:34,638
General Douglas McArthur decided
30
00:01:34,672 --> 00:01:36,239
that the capture of that airstrip
31
00:01:36,274 --> 00:01:38,909
was critical to retaking
the Philippines
32
00:01:38,943 --> 00:01:41,079
as a stepping stone
to the invasion
33
00:01:41,113 --> 00:01:43,115
of the Japanese mainland.
34
00:01:45,418 --> 00:01:49,222
The Navy bombarded Peleliu
for three days
35
00:01:49,257 --> 00:01:52,125
And the Marines followed.
36
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,470
The men were told that the fighting
would last only a few days.
37
00:02:01,504 --> 00:02:03,873
But the combat on Peleliu
38
00:02:03,907 --> 00:02:06,676
would last more than two months
39
00:02:06,710 --> 00:02:08,679
and would become as deadly
40
00:02:08,713 --> 00:02:12,216
as any island invasion
of World War II.
41
00:02:14,053 --> 00:02:17,054
Veteran #4: I don't think you could
train for anything like that.
42
00:02:18,223 --> 00:02:20,291
It started when we started in.
43
00:02:22,361 --> 00:02:24,629
And it didn't cease.
44
00:02:24,663 --> 00:02:28,599
It was... it was a nightmare.
45
00:02:39,978 --> 00:02:44,048
For you are about to be
awarded the Medal of Honor.
46
00:02:44,083 --> 00:02:48,453
Selling U.S. War bonds
is just as important
47
00:02:48,487 --> 00:02:52,758
as what you did on Guadalcanal.
Now pack your seabag. You're going home.
48
00:02:52,792 --> 00:02:54,126
Home?
49
00:02:54,161 --> 00:02:56,028
I'm enlisting tomorrow.
50
00:02:56,063 --> 00:02:58,698
I'd do it tonight
if they were open.
51
00:02:58,733 --> 00:03:01,635
Eugene... - I don't need
your permission, father.
52
00:03:01,669 --> 00:03:04,972
"Dear Vera, we haven't seen a
jap for two weeks now.
53
00:03:05,007 --> 00:03:08,476
They got smart and got the hell out
of this godforsaken spot.
54
00:03:08,511 --> 00:03:10,879
Now our enemy is the
jungle itself.
55
00:03:10,913 --> 00:03:13,849
The jungle and the rain."
56
00:03:15,786 --> 00:03:16,886
Lebec!
57
00:03:19,723 --> 00:03:22,826
All you need is a week or two.
That should do the trick.
58
00:03:22,860 --> 00:03:24,695
They got a hospital
over on Banika.
59
00:03:24,729 --> 00:03:28,065
I'm gonna pull some paper and you'll
be on your way in an hour.
60
00:03:28,099 --> 00:03:31,068
Why am I in with guys who need to
have their razor blades taken away?
61
00:03:31,103 --> 00:03:33,438
Most of the guys that come
through here are simply...
62
00:03:33,472 --> 00:03:34,806
Tired.
63
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,108
My guess is you fall
into that category.
64
00:03:37,143 --> 00:03:39,110
Hey, you're a dead man,
you know it!
65
00:03:39,145 --> 00:03:42,481
Go get Dr. Grant!
66
00:03:42,515 --> 00:03:45,416
This isn't the right place for me.
I'm rested, I'm fit.
67
00:03:45,451 --> 00:03:48,519
I want to return to my
unit and my friends.
68
00:03:48,554 --> 00:03:51,189
I hope it's quick and
easy for you, Leckie.
69
00:03:51,223 --> 00:03:53,324
No worries about
ending up like me.
70
00:06:51,468 --> 00:06:53,902
Big smile, Miss Grey!
71
00:06:53,936 --> 00:06:55,305
- How's that, fellas?
- You look beautiful, Virginia.
72
00:06:55,939 --> 00:06:58,040
When do we say, "back the attack"?
73
00:06:58,074 --> 00:07:00,209
Every chance you get!
74
00:07:00,243 --> 00:07:03,579
Now the kiss on the cheek
and we gotta go!
75
00:07:03,613 --> 00:07:05,914
Hold that!
76
00:07:05,949 --> 00:07:07,316
This is a shortcut.
77
00:07:08,819 --> 00:07:10,753
That's Virginia Grey.
78
00:07:11,955 --> 00:07:14,757
Hey, excuse me.
I don't believe this.
79
00:07:15,726 --> 00:07:19,228
You're John Basilone.
80
00:07:19,263 --> 00:07:21,263
I'm gonna be in the Marine Corps.
81
00:07:21,298 --> 00:07:23,399
It's a fine branch
of our armed forces.
82
00:07:23,433 --> 00:07:26,536
I re... report next Tuesday.
83
00:07:27,939 --> 00:07:29,740
Boot Camp's a breeze.
84
00:07:29,774 --> 00:07:33,210
You get to sleep in on mondays.
85
00:07:33,244 --> 00:07:34,444
What else?
86
00:07:34,479 --> 00:07:36,180
You coming?
87
00:07:36,214 --> 00:07:40,284
Uh, keep your head
down and keep moving.
88
00:07:40,318 --> 00:07:42,286
Look down, keep moving.
89
00:07:42,321 --> 00:07:44,422
Listen to your N.C.O.s
90
00:07:44,457 --> 00:07:47,659
Thanks. What's an "N.C.O."?
91
00:08:05,145 --> 00:08:08,580
- You handle it well.
- Handle what well?
92
00:08:10,217 --> 00:08:13,519
Membership in the
famous people's club.
93
00:08:13,553 --> 00:08:18,423
Just don't be surprised if
it's not quite what you expect.
94
00:08:19,359 --> 00:08:21,093
Go on stage,
95
00:08:21,127 --> 00:08:23,863
Say "back the attack" a
couple hundred times,
96
00:08:23,897 --> 00:08:26,999
Get my picture took-
there's not much to it.
97
00:08:27,034 --> 00:08:29,602
You have no idea
what's coming at you.
98
00:08:31,572 --> 00:08:34,942
Better keep your head down.
99
00:08:42,283 --> 00:08:44,150
What kind of
message is that?
100
00:08:44,185 --> 00:08:45,719
- Whoo.
- Wow.
101
00:08:45,753 --> 00:08:48,155
My kid brother comes to visit me.
102
00:08:48,189 --> 00:08:50,090
Am I allowed to even speak
to you without saluting,
103
00:08:50,124 --> 00:08:52,693
- Sergeant Basilone?
- Shut up, you jerk.
104
00:08:52,727 --> 00:08:54,695
You know I work for a living.
105
00:08:54,729 --> 00:08:56,262
Early morning, Sergeant Basilone.
106
00:08:56,297 --> 00:08:58,431
'Morning, Al. Hey,
how did they let this Palooka
107
00:08:58,465 --> 00:09:00,433
into a classy joint
like the biltmore?
108
00:09:00,467 --> 00:09:02,035
This is my brother George, Al.
109
00:09:02,069 --> 00:09:03,836
Can I get you some coffee,
Sir? - Please.
110
00:09:03,870 --> 00:09:05,471
Hey, how about some breakfast?
111
00:09:05,505 --> 00:09:07,306
I got a train to catch at 0717.
112
00:09:07,341 --> 00:09:08,774
No no, Al can swing it. Right, Al?
113
00:09:08,809 --> 00:09:11,376
Breakfast? Absolutely.
114
00:09:11,411 --> 00:09:14,347
One of us has to go
back to the Marines.
115
00:09:14,381 --> 00:09:16,382
Pendleton agreeing with you?
116
00:09:16,417 --> 00:09:18,351
Paradise by the sea.
117
00:09:18,386 --> 00:09:20,386
Virginia Grey agreeing with you?
118
00:09:20,421 --> 00:09:23,289
Hey, don't you be thinkin' about her.
She's in good hands.
119
00:09:23,324 --> 00:09:26,093
Yeah, but is she in
the best of hands?
120
00:09:26,127 --> 00:09:27,794
Sit down!
121
00:09:29,330 --> 00:09:30,865
Here we are, gentlemen.
122
00:09:30,899 --> 00:09:33,067
- Thanks, Al.
- You're welcome.
123
00:09:37,739 --> 00:09:40,106
Giovanni, you're everywhere.
124
00:09:40,141 --> 00:09:42,208
Yeah, they keep me running.
125
00:09:42,242 --> 00:09:45,444
Listen to this: 0900 I got a
meeting with the governor,
126
00:09:45,478 --> 00:09:48,146
Then a rally at a
plant in Glendale.
127
00:09:48,181 --> 00:09:51,083
Tonight some big deal at
the Hollywood canteen.
128
00:09:51,117 --> 00:09:53,885
I had a six-hour pass.
I go to the movies
129
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,321
And who shows up in the newsreel?
130
00:09:56,355 --> 00:10:01,393
You, Mom, Pa, and most of New
Jersey at John Basilone day.
131
00:10:01,428 --> 00:10:04,230
That was crazy.
132
00:10:04,265 --> 00:10:07,267
Don't slug me,
but can I ask you a question?
133
00:10:07,301 --> 00:10:09,069
Take your chances.
134
00:10:11,206 --> 00:10:14,608
How scary was it... Guadalcanal?
135
00:10:16,311 --> 00:10:19,146
I hope I don't freeze up
or make a mistake, is all.
136
00:10:19,181 --> 00:10:22,316
- I hope I can be as...
- George.
137
00:10:22,350 --> 00:10:24,852
Don't feel like you
need to prove nothin'.
138
00:10:24,886 --> 00:10:27,020
You know what I mean?
139
00:10:27,055 --> 00:10:29,355
- No, I...
- do you know what I mean?
140
00:10:32,192 --> 00:10:33,592
Yeah.
141
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:06,094
Looks like Hawaii.
142
00:11:08,397 --> 00:11:09,964
No, it doesn't.
143
00:11:11,233 --> 00:11:13,401
Hey, Sledge, Leyden,
what are you doing?
144
00:11:13,435 --> 00:11:15,102
Looking at land, Oswalt.
145
00:11:15,136 --> 00:11:18,471
Man over P.A.: Attention, all hands,
make way to debark station.
146
00:11:18,506 --> 00:11:22,876
Make all preparations to offload
personnel and cargo.
147
00:11:24,379 --> 00:11:27,580
Here we go.
Get your gear squared away.
148
00:11:27,615 --> 00:11:30,082
Look at the new guys.
149
00:11:38,891 --> 00:11:40,992
Lookin' for How Company.
150
00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:47,765
- This How Company?
- Two in.
151
00:11:47,799 --> 00:11:49,933
No.
152
00:11:49,968 --> 00:11:53,537
Damn.
153
00:11:53,571 --> 00:11:57,074
I could have told you.
I fuckin' warned you, you fuck.
154
00:11:57,108 --> 00:12:00,677
What? Huh? Yeah.
155
00:12:00,712 --> 00:12:04,114
Take that, you fuckin' jap!
156
00:12:07,018 --> 00:12:10,020
And recover.
157
00:12:24,669 --> 00:12:26,637
Hello.
158
00:12:28,907 --> 00:12:30,974
This "K" Company?
159
00:12:31,008 --> 00:12:33,844
We're supposed to be in 60 mortars,
2nd Squad.
160
00:12:35,179 --> 00:12:38,515
Jesus, these guys are
supposed to be 60 mortars.
161
00:12:38,549 --> 00:12:40,317
This is 2nd Squad.
162
00:12:40,351 --> 00:12:43,420
- Robert Oswalt.
- Eugene Sledge.
163
00:12:43,454 --> 00:12:45,723
You mortars too?
164
00:12:45,757 --> 00:12:48,825
Riflemen, 3rd Platoon.
Bill Leyden.
165
00:12:48,860 --> 00:12:52,262
Then we'll ignore you.
166
00:12:52,296 --> 00:12:55,499
That's Snafu.
167
00:12:55,533 --> 00:12:58,535
That man's De l'eau and I'm
Corporal Burgin.
168
00:12:58,570 --> 00:13:01,905
Find yourself a bunk.
169
00:13:07,579 --> 00:13:09,013
Taken.
170
00:13:14,419 --> 00:13:15,719
Taken.
171
00:13:19,524 --> 00:13:21,658
Come on, I'll show you around,
172
00:13:21,693 --> 00:13:23,927
Find you another tent.
173
00:13:34,838 --> 00:13:36,906
Let's go.
174
00:13:39,276 --> 00:13:42,379
This is where they dry-dock us
when we're not killing japs.
175
00:13:42,413 --> 00:13:45,449
- Over there is chow...
- Man: Move it!
176
00:13:45,483 --> 00:13:48,085
...Heads,
177
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,022
King Company skipper,
Captain Haldane.
178
00:13:51,056 --> 00:13:52,824
Everybody calls him Ack Ack.
179
00:13:52,859 --> 00:13:55,661
- What's your name?
- De l'eau.
180
00:13:55,695 --> 00:13:57,896
D-e...
181
00:13:57,931 --> 00:14:02,367
L'e-a-u, De l'eau.
182
00:14:02,401 --> 00:14:04,035
Jay De l'eau.
183
00:14:04,070 --> 00:14:06,138
Were you in Guadalcanal?
184
00:14:06,172 --> 00:14:10,208
Gloucester. G-l...
185
00:14:10,243 --> 00:14:12,744
Grab a rack in that
second tent over there.
186
00:14:12,779 --> 00:14:14,713
Thanks.
187
00:14:14,747 --> 00:14:16,748
Sure thing.
188
00:14:18,684 --> 00:14:23,222
Oh, you know where I
could find How Company?
189
00:14:23,256 --> 00:14:25,091
1st Marines?
190
00:14:25,125 --> 00:14:27,661
Somewhere over there.
191
00:14:32,901 --> 00:14:34,869
- Wanna get some chow?
- Been waiting for it.
192
00:14:41,009 --> 00:14:43,044
- Ho ho ho.
- Runner: We know this guy?
193
00:14:43,078 --> 00:14:45,046
Mug's ugly enough
to ring a few bells.
194
00:14:45,081 --> 00:14:46,715
Gloucester,
maybe? Was it Gloucester?
195
00:14:46,749 --> 00:14:48,483
- Chuckler: Was it Gloucester?
- Was he on Gloucester?
196
00:14:48,518 --> 00:14:50,385
- He may have been on Gloucester.
- He looks familiar.
197
00:14:50,419 --> 00:14:51,886
Maybe he was on Gloucester.
198
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,588
- I don't know. He's ugly.
- Fuck you all.
199
00:14:53,622 --> 00:14:55,657
Looks like a land crab that
once crawled up my pee hole.
200
00:14:58,927 --> 00:15:00,961
Hey, welcome home, Cobber.
201
00:15:04,032 --> 00:15:07,168
You have a good vacation?
202
00:15:07,202 --> 00:15:10,338
Anything to get away
from you bastards.
203
00:15:10,373 --> 00:15:11,907
We're not so lucky.
204
00:15:11,941 --> 00:15:13,575
Oh, jeez!
205
00:15:13,610 --> 00:15:16,311
Ho, there you go.
206
00:15:16,346 --> 00:15:17,980
What's in this?
207
00:15:18,014 --> 00:15:21,049
When it tastes this bad,
it's hard to tell.
208
00:15:22,318 --> 00:15:23,918
What you got?
209
00:15:23,953 --> 00:15:26,388
Pens. Tell Santa whether
you been naughty or nice.
210
00:15:26,423 --> 00:15:28,290
Naughty. The naughtiest.
211
00:15:28,325 --> 00:15:31,160
- It's June.
- It's the South Pacific.
212
00:15:31,194 --> 00:15:33,696
Christmas comes in June.
213
00:15:33,731 --> 00:15:35,732
For Hoosier...
214
00:15:35,766 --> 00:15:38,101
'cause he's always saying his prayers,
making his bed.
215
00:15:38,135 --> 00:15:39,436
- Aw!
- All: Awww!
216
00:15:39,470 --> 00:15:41,404
- Look at that.
- That's beautiful.
217
00:15:41,439 --> 00:15:43,206
- Chuckler?
- Yes?
218
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,675
- Thank you.
- Heavier reading.
219
00:15:45,710 --> 00:15:47,577
- With pictures.
- Here you go.
220
00:15:47,611 --> 00:15:49,246
Something for Runner's stocking.
221
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,214
Oh, I read this already.
222
00:16:07,264 --> 00:16:09,799
I don't believe it.
223
00:16:14,773 --> 00:16:17,074
Oh!
224
00:16:17,109 --> 00:16:19,076
Something's wrong.
225
00:16:19,111 --> 00:16:21,679
Something's very wrong if you
made it through Boot Camp.
226
00:16:21,713 --> 00:16:23,314
Give me a break, you old greaser!
227
00:16:23,348 --> 00:16:26,217
Get up off my deck.
228
00:16:26,251 --> 00:16:28,152
- Captain Haldane.
- Sir.
229
00:16:28,187 --> 00:16:31,455
What's this about, Marine?
Some rite of greeting new to the Corps?
230
00:16:31,489 --> 00:16:34,024
Yes, Sir. Um, I mean, no, Sir.
231
00:16:34,059 --> 00:16:37,127
- Who are you?
- Private Eugene Sledge, Sir.
232
00:16:37,162 --> 00:16:40,397
You fellas know each other or is this
some kind of conflict resolution?
233
00:16:40,431 --> 00:16:42,867
Old friends, Sir.
Mobile, Alabama, Sir.
234
00:16:42,901 --> 00:16:45,269
- Mobile?
- Yes, Sir.
235
00:16:45,304 --> 00:16:48,973
- Old friends, huh?
- That explains it.
236
00:16:49,008 --> 00:16:50,709
As you were.
237
00:16:50,743 --> 00:16:53,545
But try not to dislocate a
shoulder or break an arm.
238
00:16:53,580 --> 00:16:55,014
We need both you men healthy.
239
00:16:55,048 --> 00:16:56,215
- Sir.
- Sir.
240
00:16:56,249 --> 00:16:57,816
Carry on.
241
00:17:07,862 --> 00:17:09,929
Get me in hot water
on the first day.
242
00:17:09,963 --> 00:17:12,365
Yeah, well, you deserve it!
243
00:17:14,601 --> 00:17:16,436
Welcome to paradise.
244
00:17:18,172 --> 00:17:20,440
How do you get used to
the smell around here?
245
00:17:20,475 --> 00:17:22,209
Think this shitheap stinks now,
246
00:17:22,243 --> 00:17:24,378
you should have seen it
when we first got here.
247
00:17:24,413 --> 00:17:27,949
It was wall-to-wall rats,
crabs and rotten coconuts.
248
00:17:27,983 --> 00:17:30,585
Thank God I'm rotating home.
249
00:17:30,619 --> 00:17:33,455
I can't believe I finally
get here and you go home.
250
00:17:33,489 --> 00:17:35,190
When you leavin'?
251
00:17:35,224 --> 00:17:37,226
When the Marine Corps tells me.
252
00:17:37,260 --> 00:17:39,828
- What's your unit?
- K-3-5.
253
00:17:39,862 --> 00:17:42,930
A mortarman, just like you.
254
00:17:42,965 --> 00:17:44,899
Whoo-hoo!
255
00:17:47,135 --> 00:17:50,170
Hallelujah.
256
00:17:50,205 --> 00:17:52,705
The health of the Corps
257
00:17:52,740 --> 00:17:54,974
is only as strong
258
00:17:55,009 --> 00:17:59,245
as the health of the
individual Marine.
259
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:04,151
Marines will make every effort
to keep themselves clean.
260
00:18:04,185 --> 00:18:06,020
- Hey!
- Ahh!
261
00:18:06,054 --> 00:18:08,322
Hey, don't you quit on me, fucker!
262
00:18:08,357 --> 00:18:10,658
- You gotta be kidding!
- Not till I've rinsed.
263
00:18:10,693 --> 00:18:13,095
They get hot chow
to you when they can.
264
00:18:13,129 --> 00:18:15,531
You know, it might
only be crud like this,
265
00:18:15,566 --> 00:18:18,168
But when you been on
the line taking fire,
266
00:18:18,202 --> 00:18:20,470
Hot chow is a miracle.
267
00:18:21,973 --> 00:18:25,508
- Oh, for heaven's sake.
- What is that, baby food?
268
00:18:28,212 --> 00:18:30,447
You know, you laugh... you laugh,
269
00:18:30,481 --> 00:18:32,616
But that might be worth its
weight in gold someday.
270
00:18:32,650 --> 00:18:35,485
You get hungry enough,
somebody'll want to trade for it.
271
00:18:37,188 --> 00:18:40,992
You do not trade this... Ever.
272
00:18:42,661 --> 00:18:45,496
.45 will stop a jap better
than a clip of your carbine.
273
00:18:45,530 --> 00:18:48,132
You hit one of the suckers
in the hand with that,
274
00:18:48,167 --> 00:18:50,268
Heh, take his arm right off.
275
00:18:50,302 --> 00:18:53,138
You can write your father a
nice thank-you note for that.
276
00:18:53,172 --> 00:18:56,775
Working party... three of
you boots go with Snafu.
277
00:18:56,809 --> 00:18:57,943
Hurry up!
278
00:18:57,978 --> 00:19:01,514
You heard the Sergeant... Now!
279
00:19:01,548 --> 00:19:04,083
You don't mind, do you, Leyden?
280
00:19:04,118 --> 00:19:07,754
You assholes are gonna miss cleaning
out oil barrels pretty soon.
281
00:19:09,189 --> 00:19:11,925
You're gonna be humping
up some fucking hill...
282
00:19:14,295 --> 00:19:16,363
Or across a beach,
283
00:19:16,398 --> 00:19:18,799
Japs pouring shit for fire,
284
00:19:18,833 --> 00:19:21,835
Pissing your pants,
crying "boo hoo,"
285
00:19:21,870 --> 00:19:24,638
And wishing you were back
here with nothing asked of you
286
00:19:24,672 --> 00:19:26,573
But to scrub oil out of drums.
287
00:19:29,009 --> 00:19:31,343
Why don't you grab a brush
288
00:19:31,378 --> 00:19:32,744
And give us a hand?
289
00:19:32,779 --> 00:19:35,714
Fuck that shit.
I scrub drums for no man.
290
00:19:35,748 --> 00:19:37,649
Can we take a break?
291
00:19:37,684 --> 00:19:40,552
Do whatever you want.
This ain't my detail.
292
00:19:40,587 --> 00:19:45,057
I was supposed to dump you all off here,
then report back to the C.P.
293
00:19:45,092 --> 00:19:47,093
Then why are you still here?
294
00:19:47,127 --> 00:19:51,230
I like to watch the
new guys sweat.
295
00:20:08,749 --> 00:20:11,684
Ahh! Are those the
most butt-ugly creatures
296
00:20:11,719 --> 00:20:14,787
You ever saw before in your life?
297
00:20:21,695 --> 00:20:23,863
Jesus, Sid.
298
00:20:25,967 --> 00:20:28,869
When you start pulling them out
of your hooch in the morning,
299
00:20:28,903 --> 00:20:31,606
You won't feel so tenderhearted.
300
00:20:54,528 --> 00:20:57,530
Lost mine in the polk.
301
00:20:57,564 --> 00:21:00,866
Or somebody took it. Maybe one of
the swabbies wanted a souvenir.
302
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:02,301
Yeah?
303
00:21:02,336 --> 00:21:05,371
Some of the guys think
they're good luck.
304
00:21:05,405 --> 00:21:08,574
I don't know.
You can have this one.
305
00:21:08,608 --> 00:21:11,210
I got a couple.
306
00:21:12,679 --> 00:21:14,646
Here.
307
00:21:14,681 --> 00:21:17,049
- Thank you.
- Sure.
308
00:21:24,691 --> 00:21:27,026
Sid?
309
00:21:28,729 --> 00:21:30,497
What's it like?
310
00:21:38,107 --> 00:21:40,508
I slept with a woman in Melbourne.
311
00:21:40,543 --> 00:21:42,344
I'm not bragging.
312
00:21:44,380 --> 00:21:47,783
But that's at one end, right?
313
00:21:47,818 --> 00:21:52,055
And then way down there
as far as you can go...
314
00:21:54,158 --> 00:21:57,995
And that's what it's like.
315
00:21:58,029 --> 00:22:00,597
And that...
316
00:22:00,631 --> 00:22:03,166
That you could never imagine.
317
00:22:08,771 --> 00:22:10,539
Okay.
318
00:22:15,444 --> 00:22:18,045
I'm gonna miss you, Sid.
319
00:22:26,087 --> 00:22:28,221
You'll be all right.
320
00:22:53,115 --> 00:22:55,916
Woman in movie: Are you
angry about something?
321
00:22:55,984 --> 00:22:58,986
Man in movie: Of course no
322
00:22:59,020 --> 00:23:01,422
I'm glad.
323
00:23:01,456 --> 00:23:03,690
I won't cry.
324
00:23:06,394 --> 00:23:08,829
Dear Christ in heaven,
would you look at her?
325
00:23:08,863 --> 00:23:12,999
I don't know how to kiss
or I would kiss you.
326
00:23:15,537 --> 00:23:17,805
Where do the noses go?
327
00:23:23,278 --> 00:23:26,214
There we go!
328
00:23:26,248 --> 00:23:29,083
What are you waiting for?
Fuck her.
329
00:23:29,118 --> 00:23:31,419
Think she's blonde down there?
330
00:23:41,163 --> 00:23:43,531
Look, Pilar!
331
00:23:43,565 --> 00:23:46,000
Roberto fell in the brook.
332
00:23:59,550 --> 00:24:01,851
Cease fire!
333
00:24:01,886 --> 00:24:04,887
Cease fire on the firing line!
334
00:24:06,991 --> 00:24:11,561
You stupid, goddamn
shavetail son of a bitch!
335
00:24:14,798 --> 00:24:17,400
You keep your fucking
weapon pointed downrange
336
00:24:17,435 --> 00:24:22,039
Or I will shove that fuckin'
piece up your sorry fucking ass.
337
00:24:22,073 --> 00:24:24,641
Don't look at me, Lieutenant.
The Gunny's right.
338
00:24:26,344 --> 00:24:28,378
Next relay!
339
00:24:54,740 --> 00:24:57,208
You seen Phillips?
340
00:25:00,278 --> 00:25:02,446
I believe the angels
are shipping out.
341
00:25:02,481 --> 00:25:05,750
You might catch them
back down at the docks.
342
00:25:27,473 --> 00:25:30,041
Sid was my best customer.
343
00:25:30,075 --> 00:25:32,644
When you've finished,
please return it
344
00:25:32,678 --> 00:25:35,113
to the Pacific
Library of Congress.
345
00:25:37,483 --> 00:25:40,619
Kipling. Always good.
346
00:25:40,653 --> 00:25:43,689
Most of these jokers can't read.
347
00:25:45,391 --> 00:25:47,426
Have you heard the latest
about the other war?
348
00:25:47,460 --> 00:25:48,827
There's another war?
349
00:25:48,862 --> 00:25:52,164
We invaded Europe.
Landed last month in France.
350
00:25:52,198 --> 00:25:55,233
Hell, unless you got a brother over there,
most guys don't give a shit.
351
00:25:55,268 --> 00:25:57,769
My brother landed in Italy,
352
00:25:57,803 --> 00:26:00,906
Tank Battalion.
353
00:26:00,940 --> 00:26:03,208
Well, I guess you
get to give a shit.
354
00:26:07,213 --> 00:26:09,581
Just coffee, thanks.
355
00:26:25,198 --> 00:26:28,634
That explains it.
You're a believer.
356
00:26:28,669 --> 00:26:30,937
Yes.
357
00:26:33,073 --> 00:26:35,175
Okay, question:
358
00:26:35,209 --> 00:26:36,943
God created everything, right?
359
00:26:36,977 --> 00:26:41,013
The heavens, the seven seas,
the Marine Corps...
360
00:26:41,047 --> 00:26:42,847
Sleeping beauty there...
361
00:26:42,882 --> 00:26:44,415
Even him.
362
00:26:44,449 --> 00:26:47,216
...Land crabs, rats, mosquitoes.
363
00:26:47,251 --> 00:26:49,318
The mosquitoes are a little tough
to understand, I guess, but...
364
00:26:49,352 --> 00:26:52,287
God created japs too, right...
365
00:26:52,321 --> 00:26:56,256
Yellow slants who have tried
to kill me on many occasions?
366
00:26:56,290 --> 00:26:58,791
Japs come from the
garden of Eden too?
367
00:27:00,894 --> 00:27:02,862
Well, what we do is up to us.
368
00:27:02,896 --> 00:27:05,865
He gives the choice.
369
00:27:05,899 --> 00:27:09,101
Free will. Right.
370
00:27:09,135 --> 00:27:13,238
Except he's God, of course, so he knows
what we're gonna do before we do it.
371
00:27:13,272 --> 00:27:15,674
Predestination.
372
00:27:18,277 --> 00:27:21,078
So the whole game is fixed by
the will of gramps on his throne
373
00:27:21,113 --> 00:27:22,880
while we're down here for what?
374
00:27:22,914 --> 00:27:26,316
His entertainment? That makes
us chumps and God's a sadist.
375
00:27:26,351 --> 00:27:30,553
And either way I
got no use for him.
376
00:27:30,588 --> 00:27:32,722
So what do you believe in?
377
00:27:32,757 --> 00:27:34,691
I believe in ammunition.
378
00:27:34,725 --> 00:27:37,860
Tell you what, though.
379
00:27:37,895 --> 00:27:40,529
Since I'm not on speaking
terms with him anymore,
380
00:27:40,563 --> 00:27:43,132
Next time you're having a
chat with the old geezer,
381
00:27:43,166 --> 00:27:45,534
Can you ask him to sink
a few jap transports
382
00:27:45,569 --> 00:27:47,502
and have them all
fall on their bayonets
383
00:27:47,537 --> 00:27:50,938
so I can get the fuck
out of here and go home?
384
00:27:50,973 --> 00:27:54,140
I sure would appreciate it.
385
00:27:59,278 --> 00:28:01,480
You go ahead and keep it.
386
00:28:01,514 --> 00:28:04,515
I don't know why I have
it in the first place.
387
00:28:04,550 --> 00:28:06,117
No, thanks.
388
00:28:08,921 --> 00:28:11,789
I've got my own.
389
00:28:39,247 --> 00:28:41,582
Follow the man in front of you
390
00:28:41,617 --> 00:28:43,584
and get off that beach.
391
00:28:43,619 --> 00:28:47,355
And when you get to the tree line,
remember to clear your weapons of sand.
392
00:28:47,389 --> 00:28:48,757
- Aye, Sir.
- Mortarmen...
393
00:28:48,791 --> 00:28:50,325
- Here you go, Marine.
- Thank you, Sir.
394
00:28:50,359 --> 00:28:52,727
...Make sure you have four H.
E. Rounds set for fire.
395
00:28:52,762 --> 00:28:55,797
Good luck. God bless.
396
00:28:55,831 --> 00:28:59,034
You heard the skipper!
Get your gear on. Move!
397
00:29:02,004 --> 00:29:04,606
How's my pack?
398
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:09,243
Let's get it done, Eugene.
399
00:29:09,277 --> 00:29:12,113
2nd Squad, fourth boat!
400
00:29:15,316 --> 00:29:19,052
Get inside! Easy easy!
Get inside.
401
00:29:21,154 --> 00:29:22,922
Section 1 and 2 loading.
402
00:29:22,956 --> 00:29:24,957
- Good luck, Sledge.
- Thank you, Sir.
403
00:29:24,992 --> 00:29:27,493
Sergeant.
404
00:29:43,476 --> 00:29:46,045
I don't smoke.
405
00:29:46,079 --> 00:29:47,779
Yeah?
406
00:30:10,904 --> 00:30:12,272
HERE WE GO , BOYS!
407
00:31:31,151 --> 00:31:33,752
Stay the fuck down!
408
00:31:35,689 --> 00:31:39,726
...My trespasses...
409
00:31:54,810 --> 00:31:57,645
Fire! Open fire!
410
00:32:01,050 --> 00:32:02,684
Load and lock, gentlemen!
411
00:32:02,718 --> 00:32:04,119
Load and lock!
412
00:32:04,153 --> 00:32:06,721
Load and lock!
413
00:32:37,151 --> 00:32:38,952
Stand by, Marines!
414
00:32:49,730 --> 00:32:51,965
HERE WE GO! LET'S GO,

415
00:32:51,999 --> 00:32:54,468
MOVE MOVE MOVE! GO GO GO!
416
00:32:54,502 --> 00:32:56,304

LET'S MOVE OUT!
LET'S GO! MOVE OUT!
418
00:33:03,478 --> 00:33:05,279
AHH!

KEEP MOVING! KEEP IT MOVING!
420
00:33:07,115 --> 00:33:12,219
GO GO GO!
421
00:33:12,254 --> 00:33:15,089
KEEP MOVING!
422
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,661
Sledge, get on the beach!
Let's make a move!
423
00:33:20,695 --> 00:33:23,030
LET'S GO, LET'S GO!
424
00:33:23,064 --> 00:33:25,465
Marines, move it!
425
00:33:33,475 --> 00:33:34,842
I'm hit!
426
00:33:34,876 --> 00:33:37,010
I'm hit!
427
00:33:37,044 --> 00:33:40,581
I'm bleeding out!
I'm bleeding out!
428
00:33:40,615 --> 00:33:43,417
I'm bleeding out! Help!
429
00:33:54,030 --> 00:33:56,599
Let's go! Open fire!
430
00:34:02,740 --> 00:34:05,375
I'm hit! I'm hit!
431
00:34:05,409 --> 00:34:07,511
I can't breathe!
432
00:34:24,663 --> 00:34:26,830
Get up, get up, get up!
433
00:34:26,865 --> 00:34:28,599
Ahh!
434
00:34:37,776 --> 00:34:39,776
Corpsman!
435
00:34:40,778 --> 00:34:43,246
MARINE! LET'S GO THIS WAY!
436
00:34:44,148 --> 00:34:47,117
Ahh!
437
00:35:05,580 --> 00:35:08,015
HOLD THE MORTARS DOWN!
HOLD THE MORTARS!
438
00:35:31,421 --> 00:35:32,955
Easy on the water.
Easy on the water
439
00:35:32,989 --> 00:35:35,490
Where the hell is Love Company?
440
00:35:35,524 --> 00:35:37,625
- IS THIS 3/7?
- NO, 3/5!
441
00:35:37,659 --> 00:35:39,760
WELL, WHERE THE HELL
IS THE 7TH MARINES?

Keep 'em here, Gunny.
I gotta find 2nd Platoon.
461
00:37:51,754 --> 00:37:54,121
- Aye aye, Sir.
- Hillbilly!
462
00:37:54,156 --> 00:37:56,857
You're with me.
Bring a runner. Let's go!
463
00:37:56,892 --> 00:37:58,993
You, let's go!
464
00:38:06,967 --> 00:38:11,036
- "K" Company?
- Part of it.
465
00:38:11,071 --> 00:38:13,005
You're supposed to hook up
with the rest of the Battalion
466
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,775
in the southern edge of the airfield,
in the brushline.
467
00:38:15,809 --> 00:38:17,977
Got it.
468
00:38:18,011 --> 00:38:19,945
You guys got any water?
469
00:38:19,979 --> 00:38:22,013
No, we ain't got
any fucking water.
470
00:38:22,048 --> 00:38:23,749
Southern edge of the airfield.
471
00:38:23,783 --> 00:38:26,518
Everybody take another salt pill.
472
00:38:27,953 --> 00:38:29,922
Gunny, bring them up here.
473
00:38:29,956 --> 00:38:31,490
Do it later! We gotta move!
474
00:38:31,524 --> 00:38:33,359

Keep the fire on them!
481
00:39:29,581 --> 00:39:32,885
Oh, Bill. Bill.
482
00:39:32,919 --> 00:39:35,088
Dropped my fucking weapon.
483
00:39:35,122 --> 00:39:38,357
CORPSMAN! CORPSMAN!
484
00:39:39,359 --> 00:39:41,192

00:39:43,128 --> 00:39:45,495
CORPSMAN!
486
00:39:46,764 --> 00:39:48,997
Hey, everything's
gonna be fine. Bill!
487
00:39:49,032 --> 00:39:51,865
It ain't shit.
Everything's gonna be fine.
488
00:39:54,001 --> 00:39:55,835
It ain't shit.
489
00:39:59,105 --> 00:40:02,106
DAMN IT! CORPSMAN!
490
00:40:03,241 --> 00:40:06,378
There you are, God damn it!
491
00:40:06,412 --> 00:40:08,113
Pressure! Pressure!
492
00:40:10,349 --> 00:40:12,049
- Sorry.
- What?
493
00:40:17,487 --> 00:40:20,421
Bill? - Corpsman:
Help me carry him back.
494
00:40:20,455 --> 00:40:22,655
Bill?
495
00:40:24,424 --> 00:40:27,826
Bill?
496
00:40:27,860 --> 00:40:30,561
Bill?
497
00:40:50,346 --> 00:40:52,780
Son of a bitch.
Those are jap tanks.
498
00:40:54,616 --> 00:40:58,385
Mortars! Get me some H.E.
on those sons of bitches!
499
00:41:00,788 --> 00:41:03,221
- NOW! LET'S GO, LET'S GO.
- YOU HEARD THE LIEUTENANT.
500
00:41:03,255 --> 00:41:05,422
LET'S GO! MOVE OUT!
501
00:41:10,596 --> 00:41:13,966
HOLD HERE, HOLD HERE!
502
00:41:18,213 --> 00:41:19,880
Hot load!
503
00:41:20,882 --> 00:41:23,516
- Hanging!
- Snafu: FIRE!
504
00:41:25,219 --> 00:41:27,186
- Hanging!
- FIRE!
505
00:41:30,224 --> 00:41:31,724
DROP 2-5.
506
00:41:37,329 --> 00:41:38,895
- Hanging!
- FIRE!
507
00:41:40,130 --> 00:41:42,098
- Ahh!
- Hot load!
508
00:41:42,132 --> 00:41:44,233
- Hanging!

509
00:41:57,142 --> 00:41:59,242
- Hanging!

510
00:42:01,677 --> 00:42:03,809
Round's complete.
511
00:42:05,511 --> 00:42:07,911
FALL BACK 50 AND DIG IN!
512
00:42:07,946 --> 00:42:11,212
- LET'S GO!
- Oh, shit.
513
00:42:11,247 --> 00:42:14,347
- Shit!
- FALL BACK!
514
00:42:27,989 --> 00:42:30,190
Fuck!
515
00:42:38,763 --> 00:42:42,065
SPREAD OUT! SPREAD OUT!
516
00:42:46,568 --> 00:42:49,835
Chuckler. Chuckler.
517
00:42:51,837 --> 00:42:53,836
You see Chuckler or Runner?
518
00:42:53,870 --> 00:42:55,604
Who?
519
00:42:55,638 --> 00:42:57,438
Juergins or Conley? H-2-1?
520
00:42:57,472 --> 00:42:59,006
Never heard of them.
521
00:43:01,641 --> 00:43:05,041
Lieutenant wants us up front.
Let's go!
522
00:43:09,978 --> 00:43:11,745
Leckie! Leckie!
523
00:43:11,779 --> 00:43:13,512
Runner!
524
00:43:16,583 --> 00:43:19,383
- Are you okay?
- Thirsty.
525
00:43:25,752 --> 00:43:28,986
Hoosier got hit.
526
00:43:30,653 --> 00:43:32,219
Keep moving, keep moving.
527
00:43:32,254 --> 00:43:34,686
Let's go, let's go!
528
00:43:39,323 --> 00:43:41,257
You going asiatic?
529
00:43:43,026 --> 00:43:44,760
Feet are soaking wet.
530
00:43:47,796 --> 00:43:49,797
What you gonna do in
your stockin' feet
531
00:43:49,831 --> 00:43:52,899
When the fucking japs
bust through the line?
532
00:44:38,619 --> 00:44:42,821
GET BACK! TAKE COVER!
533
00:44:49,092 --> 00:44:50,925
You men got enough ammo?
534
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:52,993
Sure thing, skipper.
535
00:44:53,028 --> 00:44:56,461
Perimeter's 30 yds
out from your hole.
536
00:44:56,496 --> 00:44:57,561
L.P.'s out beyond that.
537
00:44:57,595 --> 00:44:59,795
The password's "Lilliputian."
538
00:44:59,830 --> 00:45:02,227
One man awake at all times.
539
00:45:05,362 --> 00:45:06,694
Lilliputian?
540
00:45:06,729 --> 00:45:09,796
Hard for the japs to say.
541
00:45:10,830 --> 00:45:13,263
Hard for me to say.
542
00:45:21,630 --> 00:45:23,731
Trade you.
543
00:45:34,472 --> 00:45:37,808
Shit, I forgot about that guy.
544
00:46:06,965 --> 00:46:09,768
We're rich, boys.
545
00:46:12,106 --> 00:46:14,773
Jap's got a shitload
of gold in his teeth.
546
00:46:15,908 --> 00:46:18,775
Gold is what? Bucks an ounce?
547
00:46:30,816 --> 00:46:34,518
Take the first watch.
Wake me up in four hours.
548
00:46:34,553 --> 00:46:37,054
Anything moves, kill it.
549
00:47:14,364 --> 00:47:16,898
Look at that.
550
00:47:21,902 --> 00:47:25,137
You ever been to the Grand Canyon?
551
00:47:25,172 --> 00:47:27,307
No.
552
00:47:27,341 --> 00:47:30,311
My dad went when he was a boy.
553
00:47:30,345 --> 00:47:33,717
He was always going on
about it when I was little.
554
00:47:33,751 --> 00:47:37,356
I'd ask him about it.
He said I had to see it to understand.
555
00:47:37,725 --> 00:47:42,027
Finally took me as I was 10,
we got there late at night
to these cabins.
556
00:47:42,061 --> 00:47:44,996
Couldn't see a thing on
account of the dark.
557
00:47:45,030 --> 00:47:47,198
Next morning we got up,
558
00:47:47,232 --> 00:47:49,499
went outside...
559
00:47:49,533 --> 00:47:53,303
10yds from where we slept,
the fucking Grand Canyon.
560
00:47:53,337 --> 00:47:58,274
A mile down, colors I'd
never seen before.
561
00:47:58,308 --> 00:48:02,477
My dad was right:
Pictures don't show it.
562
00:48:04,113 --> 00:48:06,047
You have to be there.
563
00:48:06,082 --> 00:48:08,083
Looking down into it.
564
00:48:10,187 --> 00:48:13,022
Shut the fuck up, you idiot.
565
00:48:18,431 --> 00:48:20,967
We have to go out there tomorrow.
566
