1
00:02:04,391 --> 00:02:06,861
- Move!
- Thank you, sir.

2
00:02:22,877 --> 00:02:25,445
It could be tough to replace.

3
00:02:26,514 --> 00:02:28,482
Yeah, go and jet
the vent tube.

4
00:02:47,769 --> 00:02:49,671
You ain't worth shit.

5
00:02:56,511 --> 00:02:58,478
Yeah,
I'm talking to you.

6
00:03:01,415 --> 00:03:03,383
You better run.
I said run!

7
00:03:14,394 --> 00:03:15,797
Everything okay over there?

8
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:20,333
You the transfer?

9
00:03:22,003 --> 00:03:23,403
Lieutenant Tom Hudner.

10
00:03:36,050 --> 00:03:37,317
Jesse Brown.

11
00:03:38,485 --> 00:03:40,220
It's good to meet you.

12
00:03:45,425 --> 00:03:47,895
Where'd you come in from?
Pearl Harbor.

13
00:03:48,629 --> 00:03:50,732
Flying Bearcats?
Skyraiders.

14
00:03:50,865 --> 00:03:53,835
Lot of profile flights.
Tracking torpedoes.

15
00:03:54,969 --> 00:03:56,037
Post-war busywork.

16
00:03:56,170 --> 00:03:59,473
You, uh...
You fly in The Big Show?

17
00:04:02,342 --> 00:04:03,578
I did not.

18
00:04:06,514 --> 00:04:07,849
Then you'll fit right in.

19
00:04:10,218 --> 00:04:12,086
- What are you
talking about?

20
00:04:12,220 --> 00:04:14,488
-You should be grateful
your room has seen action.
-Morning, Jesse.

21
00:04:14,622 --> 00:04:15,723
Good morning, Jess.

22
00:04:15,857 --> 00:04:17,058
You're the one with
clean sheets.

23
00:04:17,191 --> 00:04:19,359
Hey!
You must be the new guy.

24
00:04:19,493 --> 00:04:20,728
Marty Goode, with an "E."

25
00:04:20,862 --> 00:04:22,730
You mean "G"?
"E" at the end.

26
00:04:22,864 --> 00:04:24,899
Oh, Jesus!
Don't tell me you're one
of these country boys.

27
00:04:25,032 --> 00:04:26,834
All right, Marty.
Watch yourself.

28
00:04:26,968 --> 00:04:28,102
Bo Lavery.

29
00:04:28,236 --> 00:04:29,436
And this is Jerry,

30
00:04:29,570 --> 00:04:31,672
or Kraut, Fritz, Heine.

31
00:04:31,806 --> 00:04:33,373
-They all work.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

32
00:04:33,508 --> 00:04:35,375
Nice to meet you.
And regardless
of what you hear,

33
00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:36,778
the name's Carol Mohring.

34
00:04:36,911 --> 00:04:37,812
Pleasure to meet you.

35
00:04:37,945 --> 00:04:39,446
Now, there's a sight.

36
00:04:41,348 --> 00:04:43,050
Good to see you, Bill.
Good to see you.

37
00:04:43,184 --> 00:04:44,919
Gents, this is Tom Hudner.

38
00:04:45,052 --> 00:04:47,487
We were in Pensacola together.
Hell of a stick.

39
00:04:47,622 --> 00:04:49,190
Hell of a pretty face, too.

40
00:04:49,322 --> 00:04:50,558
Almost too pretty.

41
00:04:50,691 --> 00:04:52,994
You boys sound lonely.

42
00:04:53,127 --> 00:04:54,228
Welcome to VF-32.

43
00:04:56,030 --> 00:04:57,799
<i>Will the atom shatter a world</i>
<i>to fragments,</i>

44
00:04:57,932 --> 00:05:00,535
<i>or will it be a boon</i>
<i>to mankind?</i>

45
00:05:00,668 --> 00:05:02,970
Stalin and the Soviets
field-tested their own bomb,

46
00:05:03,104 --> 00:05:06,741
and wouldn't you know it,
it's the same design as ours.

47
00:05:06,874 --> 00:05:08,408
I'd say that they're
hot on our heels,

48
00:05:08,543 --> 00:05:10,111
but this footage is
already six months old.

49
00:05:10,244 --> 00:05:12,613
It won't be long before
they strap that thing
to a bomber.

50
00:05:12,747 --> 00:05:14,381
Bo, get that for me,
would you?

51
00:05:16,918 --> 00:05:19,554
So, now you know.

52
00:05:20,655 --> 00:05:22,790
Fellas, you're not just here
to fly and screw.

53
00:05:22,924 --> 00:05:24,625
'Cause they're not
sitting idle.

54
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:26,894
But with practice,
there is not a pilot
on this planet

55
00:05:27,028 --> 00:05:29,329
who can wipe the ass
of a United States
naval aviator

56
00:05:29,462 --> 00:05:30,565
and I truly believe that.

57
00:05:30,698 --> 00:05:32,567
That's right!

58
00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:34,001
So, nav hops...

59
00:05:34,135 --> 00:05:36,037
Koenig, you got Mohring.

60
00:05:36,737 --> 00:05:39,040
Lavery, you got Goode.

61
00:05:39,173 --> 00:05:40,541
-Ensign Brown!
-Sir.

62
00:05:40,675 --> 00:05:42,777
You've got
Lieutenant Hudner today.

63
00:05:45,112 --> 00:05:46,346
Yes, sir.

64
00:05:47,815 --> 00:05:49,083
Have fun.

65
00:05:49,217 --> 00:05:51,018
Matt, you take Calloway.

66
00:05:51,152 --> 00:05:52,720
All right,
maps out, lights on, let's go.

67
00:05:52,854 --> 00:05:54,622
- See if you can keep up.
- Let's go.

68
00:05:54,755 --> 00:05:56,891
- Whoo-hoo!
- All right, Bill.
You ready?

69
00:05:58,092 --> 00:06:00,261
'Cause if you bring
that girl around,
you're gonna have a problem.

70
00:06:00,393 --> 00:06:03,965
Shit. She'll be sitting
in my lap. What are you
talking about?

71
00:06:05,166 --> 00:06:06,634
That's all I'm saying.

72
00:06:06,767 --> 00:06:08,502
Pretty warm out
for a wool cap.

73
00:06:11,272 --> 00:06:14,008
It's part of my kit.
Never know when
you'll need it.

74
00:06:14,141 --> 00:06:16,043
<i>...personnel, stand clear.</i>

75
00:06:16,177 --> 00:06:19,680
I'll try to keep us
short of Canada, Lieutenant.

76
00:06:39,734 --> 00:06:41,602
<i>Watch your prop.</i>

77
00:06:42,270 --> 00:06:43,971
<i>Try not to cut off my wing.</i>

78
00:07:31,052 --> 00:07:33,821
We're taking a slight detour
on the way home.

79
00:07:33,955 --> 00:07:36,023
<i>-Try to keep up.</i>
-Say again?

80
00:08:25,306 --> 00:08:27,842
<i>What the hell are you doing,</i>
<i>Ensign Brown?</i>

81
00:08:59,306 --> 00:09:00,608
You still with me?

82
00:09:06,547 --> 00:09:08,582
Up and hard on my call.

83
00:09:24,732 --> 00:09:26,700
Ready, set, hit it!

84
00:09:53,594 --> 00:09:55,296
Any detours you wanna make?

85
00:09:58,232 --> 00:10:00,634
Pretty slick flying
for a nav hop.

86
00:10:01,869 --> 00:10:03,904
Helps to know the plane.

87
00:10:07,108 --> 00:10:08,510
Can't learn everything
from a book.

88
00:10:16,884 --> 00:10:18,719
Or at the Academy.

89
00:10:23,357 --> 00:10:26,160
Well, there's knowing
the plane and then
there's flat-hatting.

90
00:10:26,293 --> 00:10:28,129
What are you gonna find out
about your wingman

91
00:10:28,262 --> 00:10:30,731
cruising at 10,000 feet,
Lieutenant?

92
00:10:35,736 --> 00:10:38,038
Put him in a little bit
of trouble, who knows,

93
00:10:38,172 --> 00:10:40,241
you might get a peek at
who he really is.

94
00:10:43,545 --> 00:10:45,012
How 'bout I buy you a beer?

95
00:10:45,813 --> 00:10:48,048
Plenty to talk about
between who I am

96
00:10:48,182 --> 00:10:50,818
and not getting each other
killed on nav hops.

97
00:10:50,951 --> 00:10:52,887
Sounds nice, Lieutenant,

98
00:10:53,020 --> 00:10:54,388
but I don't drink.

99
00:11:00,060 --> 00:11:02,062
Did you get to see
the lighthouse?

100
00:11:03,030 --> 00:11:03,764
I did.

101
00:11:05,933 --> 00:11:06,967

So, the Gulfstream's
all right.

112
00:11:25,452 --> 00:11:26,754
Tends to be a little busy.

113
00:11:26,887 --> 00:11:27,888
Lot of locals,

114
00:11:28,022 --> 00:11:29,089
but a lot of college girls

115
00:11:29,223 --> 00:11:30,858
who like to go out
on school nights.

116
00:11:30,991 --> 00:11:32,594
Sadao's is good
on Thursdays.

117
00:11:32,726 --> 00:11:35,729
Dimber's is the move to make
on Saturdays and Sundays,

118
00:11:35,863 --> 00:11:37,298
if you don't mind the cover.

119
00:11:37,431 --> 00:11:39,433
Just think of that as
an investment though.

120

Trust me.

121

But, I gotta warn ya,

122
00:11:43,003 --> 00:11:45,773
no matter where you go,
it is rough these days.

123
00:11:45,906 --> 00:11:50,177
All right,
girls around here do not go
for participation medals.

124
00:11:50,311 --> 00:11:53,948
Despite what they say,
they are looking
for that war tin.

125
00:11:54,516 --> 00:11:55,849
That hero tin.

126
00:11:57,384 --> 00:11:59,119
And here,
that's only Cevoli.

127
00:11:59,253 --> 00:12:01,822
Got a Navy Cross
and he's got a wife.

128
00:12:01,956 --> 00:12:03,390
Might be connected.

129
00:12:04,758 --> 00:12:06,227
Wait, you ain't married,
are you?

130
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,763
No. I'll start with the Navy,
figure out the rest later.

131
00:12:09,897 --> 00:12:11,198
Smart man.

132
00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:14,168
How'd you come in?

133
00:12:14,301 --> 00:12:16,403
Applied to the Academy
right after Pearl Harbor.

134
00:12:16,538 --> 00:12:17,972
I wanted to help.

135
00:12:18,472 --> 00:12:19,840
As we all did.

136
00:12:20,941 --> 00:12:23,678
But yeah, show up
to find the heroes are made,

137
00:12:23,811 --> 00:12:26,046
the fleets mothballed.

138
00:12:26,180 --> 00:12:27,815
Mm-hmm.

139
00:12:30,284 --> 00:12:32,853
War ended a month
before I graduated.

140
00:12:37,157 --> 00:12:39,728
You know, I suppose we were
born a few years too late.

141
00:12:39,860 --> 00:12:41,095
Or too early.

142
00:12:41,962 --> 00:12:43,632
The whole world's
looking different.

143
00:12:44,733 --> 00:12:46,867
Hell, did you ever think
that you'd be in a squadron

144
00:12:47,001 --> 00:12:48,936
with a colored aviator?

145
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,377
Well, I didn't come here
to not eat.

146

Cheers to that.
All right.

161
00:14:34,676 --> 00:14:36,678
She looked like a nice woman.

162
00:14:37,244 --> 00:14:38,613
Someone can look nice?

163
00:14:38,747 --> 00:14:39,980
Didn't I?

164
00:14:40,749 --> 00:14:41,750
I thought
you looked like

165
00:14:41,882 --> 00:14:43,651
a mean old hen.

166
00:14:43,785 --> 00:14:45,018
Oh!

167
00:14:49,189 --> 00:14:50,625
Daisy?
Mm-hmm?

168
00:14:51,659 --> 00:14:53,260
Oh!

169
00:14:53,862 --> 00:14:55,262
Oh!

170
00:14:56,063 --> 00:14:57,197
Come on.

171
00:14:57,331 --> 00:14:58,065
Whoo!

172
00:14:58,198 --> 00:14:59,768
That's cheap.

173
00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:01,402
Strength in numbers,
darling.
Mm-hmm.

174
00:15:01,536 --> 00:15:03,838
-You gonna paint your baby?
-I'ma paint one of my babies.

175
00:15:03,971 --> 00:15:04,905
Nah. Come on, come on!

176
00:15:06,306 --> 00:15:07,341
Come on.

177
00:15:10,911 --> 00:15:11,912
Incoming!

178
00:15:13,380 --> 00:15:15,449
Well, I know a pilot
can't fly at night.

179
00:15:15,583 --> 00:15:17,519
Wonder where
she got that from.

180
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:19,953
Where they go?

181
00:15:20,822 --> 00:15:22,089
Where they go?

182
00:15:22,956 --> 00:15:23,924
Where they-- There!

183
00:15:24,057 --> 00:15:26,293
Ah! It's us. Okay, okay.

184
00:15:26,427 --> 00:15:27,829
We surrender.

185
00:15:27,961 --> 00:15:31,800
Well,
it was well fought, soldier,
but sadly, you were no match.

186
00:15:48,616 --> 00:15:50,083
Officers.

187
00:15:50,718 --> 00:15:52,052
Awfully loud in here.

188
00:15:52,186 --> 00:15:53,954
Neighbors made
a noise complaint.

189
00:15:58,058 --> 00:16:00,160
Must've been
the nice-looking one.

190
00:16:04,264 --> 00:16:05,934
♪ <i>What I've been told</i> ♪

191

193
00:16:13,842 --> 00:16:16,511
I need
two wing walkers
for a respot.

194
00:16:19,781 --> 00:16:22,784
<i>All yellow shirts on</i>
<i>FOD walk down.</i>

195
00:16:22,917 --> 00:16:24,586
Morning, boys!

196
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,287
Seems one of
our reconnaissance planes

197
00:16:27,421 --> 00:16:29,524
went down over the Baltic
a few days ago.

198
00:16:29,657 --> 00:16:31,960
Now,
what you won't see
here in the newspaper

199
00:16:32,092 --> 00:16:33,994
is the photos
the Pentagon has

200
00:16:34,127 --> 00:16:37,197
of Navy flight uniforms
washed up on the shore

201
00:16:37,765 --> 00:16:38,933
and the landing gear,

202
00:16:39,066 --> 00:16:41,201
which is absolutely
riddled with bullets.

203
00:16:41,335 --> 00:16:44,772
That is more than
a quiet act of aggression.

204
00:16:44,906 --> 00:16:47,609
Washington wants us ready
to respond to the Russians

205
00:16:47,742 --> 00:16:50,410
and, uh, this is what
we're gonna get ready with.

206
00:16:50,545 --> 00:16:53,113
Say hello
to the F4U Corsair.

207
00:16:53,247 --> 00:16:55,850
Flew the hog
a little after the war.

208
00:16:55,984 --> 00:16:58,018
But the Navy's gone
and made 'em fatter
and meaner.

209
00:16:58,151 --> 00:17:00,722
Now, I know that the Corsair
will be new for a lot of you,
but don't worry.

210
00:17:00,855 --> 00:17:03,490
Just like yours truly,
she earned her stripes
in The Big Show.

211
00:17:03,625 --> 00:17:05,660
Now, this is a plane that will
get your hands dirty.

212
00:17:05,793 --> 00:17:07,829
You're gonna be
so close to the action,

213
00:17:07,962 --> 00:17:10,130
you're gonna start to think
that you made the mistake
of joining the Army.

214
00:17:10,264 --> 00:17:14,002
And I gotta mention,
she's got a rather
unfortunate nickname.

215
00:17:14,134 --> 00:17:15,102
"The Widow-maker."

216
00:17:15,235 --> 00:17:16,671
Good thing
I ain't hitched.

217
00:17:16,804 --> 00:17:19,139
Well, they also call her
the "Ensign Eliminator."

218
00:17:19,273 --> 00:17:22,510
This engine's one of
the most powerful things
you'll ever fly behind.

219
00:17:22,644 --> 00:17:24,612
You throttle her too hard,
she'll spin you over.

220
00:17:24,746 --> 00:17:28,215
She's got enough torque
to flip a house,
so go easy on the power.

221
00:17:28,348 --> 00:17:30,518
CAG wants us
up to speed and fast.

222
00:17:30,652 --> 00:17:33,955
So, manuals are
getting dropped off
in the ready room.

223
00:17:34,087 --> 00:17:35,857
Any other questions,

224
00:17:35,990 --> 00:17:39,426
God help ya,
take 'em up with the good
Professor Koenig here.

225
00:17:39,928 --> 00:17:41,563
All right.

226
00:17:41,696 --> 00:17:44,032
- Oh, she looks pretty mean, huh?
-  -The "Widow-maker."

227
00:17:44,164 --> 00:17:45,533
Oh! She is a beaut!

228
00:17:45,667 --> 00:17:47,669
- Hey, Professor K?
- She's awful purdy.

229
00:17:47,802 --> 00:17:50,572
Now, Bo, you don't know what
you're doing with this thing.

230
00:18:14,629 --> 00:18:15,663
Need a lift?

231
00:18:27,207 --> 00:18:29,343
Guys said you had
family nearby?

232
00:18:32,446 --> 00:18:34,481
Across the bay
in Fall River.

233
00:18:35,783 --> 00:18:39,319
They must be happy,
having you back.

234
00:18:39,453 --> 00:18:43,223
I think they'd be happier
if I were coming back
to work for the family.

235
00:18:44,626 --> 00:18:47,260
Supposed to take over
my old man's grocery stores.

236
00:18:49,030 --> 00:18:50,698
But I was called to adventure.

237
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:53,735
What about you?

238
00:18:53,868 --> 00:18:55,003
What brought you here?

239
00:18:55,135 --> 00:18:56,537
Always wanted to fly.

240
00:18:56,671 --> 00:18:59,272
Wanted to fly where
the best pilots flew.

241
00:18:59,874 --> 00:19:01,174
That'd be the Navy.

242
00:19:06,881 --> 00:19:09,449
- Thanks for the lift.
- Of course.

243
00:19:10,918 --> 00:19:13,487
Ma'am. Tom Hudner.

244
00:19:13,921 --> 00:19:15,422
Daisy.

245
00:19:18,458 --> 00:19:20,227
Can I get you
something to drink?

246
00:19:21,629 --> 00:19:24,364
I'm sure Lieutenant Hudner
has plans.

247
00:19:26,567 --> 00:19:28,402
Better be getting back, ma'am.

248
00:19:29,369 --> 00:19:31,304
Beautiful house, by the way.

249
00:19:31,438 --> 00:19:33,273
Nice to see it
from the ground.

250
00:19:34,842 --> 00:19:36,209
Thank you.

251
00:19:41,983 --> 00:19:43,818
Play nice.
What?

252
00:19:44,619 --> 00:19:45,787
Play nice.

253
00:19:47,155 --> 00:19:49,222
I don't know about him yet.

254
00:19:50,658 --> 00:19:52,060
Where's our car?

255
00:19:52,527 --> 00:19:53,861
Where's our baby?

256
00:19:53,995 --> 00:19:55,228
Sleeping.

257
00:19:56,229 --> 00:19:57,865
Car's on the side
of the road.

258
00:19:58,633 --> 00:19:59,366
Abandoned.

259
00:19:59,499 --> 00:20:00,434
Okay.

260
00:20:00,568 --> 00:20:01,903
Tires are probably gone.

261
00:20:03,171 --> 00:20:04,639
Hey, airmen!

262
00:20:05,773 --> 00:20:07,942
My tail fin could use
some air.

263
00:20:10,678 --> 00:20:12,446
<i>Stand by for check time.</i>

264
00:20:12,580 --> 00:20:14,448
<i>Stand by for check time.</i>

265
00:20:14,582 --> 00:20:15,750
Hey, Lieutenant!

266
00:20:15,883 --> 00:20:17,885
I think she likes me.

267
00:20:18,019 --> 00:20:19,687
Famous last words.

268
00:20:24,625 --> 00:20:26,393
She's not gonna bite.

269
00:20:37,471 --> 00:20:39,173
You know
what's not in the manual?

270
00:20:39,306 --> 00:20:41,241
How big this damn nose is.

271
00:20:42,643 --> 00:20:45,312
How the hell are you
supposed to land on a carrier
if you can't see it?

272
00:20:45,445 --> 00:20:49,316
Not everything's
in the same place, Carol,
but everything's the same.

273
00:20:50,283 --> 00:20:51,853
Just in different places.

274
00:20:51,986 --> 00:20:54,622
Hey.
You know I crashed a Bearcat
when I was learning to fly it?

275
00:20:54,756 --> 00:20:57,125
You know, you better not
let Goode hear you say that.

276
00:20:57,257 --> 00:20:58,659
Too late.

277
00:21:23,251 --> 00:21:26,353
<i>Many outstanding</i>
<i>fighter pilot achievements</i>

278

290
00:22:43,831 --> 00:22:46,399
<i>You have to fight them</i>

296
00:23:05,219 --> 00:23:06,721
Attention on deck.

297
00:23:08,589 --> 00:23:10,691
As you were, gentlemen.
As you were.

298
00:23:11,659 --> 00:23:13,594
I'm Captain Thomas Sisson,

299
00:23:13,728 --> 00:23:15,563
and I command the USS <i>Leyte.</i>

300
00:23:15,696 --> 00:23:17,865
Now, we have learned
that the Soviets are jockeying

301
00:23:17,999 --> 00:23:19,934
for a warm water port
in the Mediterranean.

302
00:23:20,067 --> 00:23:22,236
Now, they think they can
bully their way into Europe

303
00:23:22,370 --> 00:23:24,404
and spook our new NATO allies.

304
00:23:24,538 --> 00:23:27,909
Well, DC thinks it's best
if we prevent them
from doing so.

305
00:23:28,042 --> 00:23:31,178
And we are crewing up
to keep the Cold War
from turning hot,

306
00:23:31,312 --> 00:23:34,148
and Cevoli here tells me
this is the best place
to do so.

307
00:23:34,282 --> 00:23:35,983
We ship out next week.

308
00:23:36,117 --> 00:23:37,952
Look forward to
having you onboard.

309
00:23:44,292 --> 00:23:45,559
All right, all right.

310
00:23:47,028 --> 00:23:49,597
You remember when I told you
to get up to speed, and fast?

311
00:23:50,264 --> 00:23:51,999
I meant speedier and faster.

312
00:23:52,133 --> 00:23:54,001
Carrier quals are at
the end of the week.

313
00:23:54,135 --> 00:23:56,003
You can't land a Corsair
on the <i>Leyte,</i>

314
00:23:56,137 --> 00:23:58,372
uh, you get yourself
a nice dry-land job in Topeka

315
00:23:58,506 --> 00:24:00,808
or some place even shittier,
God help you.

316
00:24:01,375 --> 00:24:02,610
Either way,

317
00:24:03,443 --> 00:24:05,212
start settling up
your bar tab, boys.

318
00:24:06,213 --> 00:24:07,515
We are leaving Rhode Island.

319
00:24:07,648 --> 00:24:09,917
Ah, here it comes.

320
00:24:14,487 --> 00:24:19,727
Just because I'm going
doesn't mean I'm fighting,
Daisy.

321
00:24:28,468 --> 00:24:30,638
That's the deal, darling.

322
00:24:31,639 --> 00:24:32,873
Remember?

323
00:24:36,677 --> 00:24:38,579
We knew this day might come.

324
00:24:40,047 --> 00:24:42,683
And yet it doesn't
make it any easier.

325
00:24:53,561 --> 00:24:54,996
But we'll be okay.

326
00:24:58,866 --> 00:24:59,800
Mad...

327
00:25:02,336 --> 00:25:03,671
...but okay.

328
00:25:04,105 --> 00:25:05,139
Okay.

329
00:25:13,414 --> 00:25:14,782
Jesse, what's going on?

330
00:25:15,383 --> 00:25:16,617
Honestly...

331
00:25:21,055 --> 00:25:23,791
My mind's on landing
that Corsair tomorrow.

332
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,396
You never met a plane
you couldn't land, Jesse.

333
00:25:28,529 --> 00:25:31,766
This plane
will be the death of me.

334
00:25:31,899 --> 00:25:34,535
I can't see like I can
out of a Bearcat.

335
00:25:37,471 --> 00:25:38,873
Fogs my instincts.

336
00:25:43,244 --> 00:25:44,779
Your instincts...

337
00:25:45,946 --> 00:25:49,050
are one of the few things
in this world that I trust.

338
00:25:51,052 --> 00:25:52,386
And if you can't
trust that plane,

339
00:25:52,521 --> 00:25:55,022
you gotta put it in whatever
will get you down safe.

340
00:26:14,341 --> 00:26:15,576
Yes, ma'am.

341
00:26:17,344 --> 00:26:19,613
- You ready, Carol?
- Try and keep up, Marty.

342
00:26:19,747 --> 00:26:21,715
Bottom of the board
buys drinks tonight, boys.

343
00:26:21,849 --> 00:26:23,217
I hope
you brought cash.

344
00:26:23,350 --> 00:26:25,186
Won't need it,
we'll be spending yours.

345
00:27:15,803 --> 00:27:17,304
You ain't shit.

346
00:27:28,782 --> 00:27:31,852
You ain't never landing
that plane, nigger.

347
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:39,393
Boy.

348
00:27:46,901 --> 00:27:49,970
Your monkey-ass
shouldn't even be flying.

349
00:29:07,481 --> 00:29:10,017
<i>Flight ops commence,</i>
<i>flight ops commence.</i>

350
00:29:10,150 --> 00:29:13,487
<i>Be aware of all prop wash.</i>
<i>All hands on deck.</i>

351
00:29:13,622 --> 00:29:14,788
Don't need all hands.

352
00:29:14,922 --> 00:29:16,558
Doing it!

353
00:29:16,691 --> 00:29:18,826
<i>All repair parties,</i>
<i>man your stations.</i>

354
00:29:18,959 --> 00:29:21,061
<i>All repair parties,</i>
<i>man your stations.</i>

355
00:29:38,012 --> 00:29:40,281
- That's Hudner.
- Mm-hmm.

356
00:29:46,253 --> 00:29:50,190
<i>You're on</i> <i>a good approach, Hudner.
</i> <i>Just keep an eye on the LSO.</i>

357
00:30:15,049 --> 00:30:16,584
All right, pretty boy.

358
00:30:32,900 --> 00:30:35,637
All right, three-to-one
he misses it.

359
00:30:35,770 --> 00:30:37,037
I'll take the action.

360
00:30:37,605 --> 00:30:38,972
Bonus if he splashes?

361
00:30:39,106 --> 00:30:41,375
Christ, Bo,
we don't want him dead.

362
00:30:57,424 --> 00:31:00,394
Looks like they wanna see
Jackie Robinson steal home.

363
00:31:09,336 --> 00:31:12,106
<i>Ensign Brown, you're too high.</i>

364
00:31:12,906 --> 00:31:14,441
That's a shit approach.

365
00:31:29,957 --> 00:31:32,126
Come on. Get your nose up.

366
00:31:34,361 --> 00:31:36,531
Why isn't he listening
to the LSO?

367
00:31:49,009 --> 00:31:50,612
Geez!

368
00:31:55,683 --> 00:31:58,252
<i>That was pretty close, Brown.</i>
<i>Do you wanna call it?</i>

369
00:31:58,385 --> 00:32:00,320
I'm coming back around.

370
00:32:03,090 --> 00:32:05,392
<i>Crash crew, stand by.</i>

371
00:32:15,302 --> 00:32:17,605
<i>You're still too high, Brown.</i>

372
00:32:26,046 --> 00:32:27,615
<i>You're not in the groove.</i>

373
00:32:28,081 --> 00:32:29,316
I'll get there.

374
00:33:11,593 --> 00:33:12,660
All right, Jesse.

375
00:33:13,293 --> 00:33:14,562
Attaboy!

376
00:33:14,696 --> 00:33:17,064
<i>Attention, all hands.</i>

377
00:33:17,197 --> 00:33:19,233
<i>Flight operations</i>
<i>commence in one hour.</i>

378
00:33:19,366 --> 00:33:22,804
<i>FOD walk in 15 mikes.</i>
<i>All available hands on deck.</i>

379
00:33:22,937 --> 00:33:24,806
<i>FOD walk in 15 mikes.</i>

380
00:33:24,939 --> 00:33:28,342
Doesn't matter how you did it.
Just matters that
you got down, pal.

381
00:33:29,176 --> 00:33:30,845
Fellas,

382
00:33:31,679 --> 00:33:33,413
you all passed
your carrier quals.

383
00:33:34,716 --> 00:33:35,950
That's what
I'm talking about.

384
00:33:36,083 --> 00:33:37,552
Top marks go to...
Yeah.

385
00:33:37,685 --> 00:33:40,087
Lieutenant Hudner
with the only
perfect grade.

386
00:33:40,220 --> 00:33:41,321
Oh, bastard.

387
00:33:41,455 --> 00:33:43,558
Which brings us
to Ensign Brown.

388
00:33:43,691 --> 00:33:46,260
D-N-K-U-A!

389
00:33:46,393 --> 00:33:48,796
Damn near killed us all.

390
00:33:48,930 --> 00:33:52,332
Enjoy tonight, boys.
We ship out in the morning.

391
00:33:52,466 --> 00:33:54,736
And now is the time,
if you haven't already,

392
00:33:54,869 --> 00:33:56,303
get all your affairs
in order.

393
00:33:57,705 --> 00:33:58,740
All right.

394
00:34:01,108 --> 00:34:03,711
What affairs
do you have to get in order,
my friend?

395
00:34:04,779 --> 00:34:06,480
I'm headed
to Denver, boys.

396
00:34:07,114 --> 00:34:08,516
That was some landing.

397
00:34:08,650 --> 00:34:11,318
I'm never
too drunk to drive.

398
00:34:11,451 --> 00:34:13,453
Just trying to
keep it interesting.

399
00:34:16,791 --> 00:34:18,258
You get your car fixed yet?

400
00:34:25,098 --> 00:34:27,100
You heading to the bar
with the guys?

401
00:34:27,735 --> 00:34:28,770
I don't think so.

402
00:34:34,576 --> 00:34:35,610
Wanna come in?

403
00:34:50,558 --> 00:34:51,626
Hey, Daisy?

404
00:34:52,060 --> 00:34:53,193
Yes?

405
00:35:01,736 --> 00:35:03,136
What did I tell you?

406
00:35:06,774 --> 00:35:07,809
Yes, ma'am.

407
00:35:08,910 --> 00:35:10,078
Mommy?

408
00:35:10,210 --> 00:35:11,144
Oh.

409
00:35:11,278 --> 00:35:13,447
Let me get her.
Okay.

410
00:35:16,517 --> 00:35:18,720
Nice to see you again.
You as well.

411
00:35:27,829 --> 00:35:29,162
Which one do you like?

412
00:35:31,099 --> 00:35:32,332
The blue one?

413
00:35:33,166 --> 00:35:34,401
The gray one?

414
00:35:36,838 --> 00:35:37,872
The gray one.

415
00:35:39,674 --> 00:35:41,743
You had a good day?
Mm-hmm.

416
00:35:41,876 --> 00:35:43,143
Yeah?
Uh-huh.

417
00:35:43,276 --> 00:35:44,512
What'd you do?

418
00:35:45,913 --> 00:35:47,214
You don't remember?

419
00:35:47,347 --> 00:35:48,583
Here you are.

420
00:35:50,018 --> 00:35:51,686
Thought Jesse didn't drink.

421
00:35:51,819 --> 00:35:52,854
He doesn't.

422
00:35:59,259 --> 00:36:00,628
Your husband's
quite the aviator.

423
00:36:00,762 --> 00:36:02,964
Well, he must feel
the same way about you.

424
00:36:03,097 --> 00:36:04,197
Because you
and Carol Mohring

425
00:36:04,331 --> 00:36:05,933
are the only boys
from Fighting 32

426
00:36:06,067 --> 00:36:07,669
that he has ever
invited over.

427
00:36:08,603 --> 00:36:10,738
It's good to know the men
you're flying with.

428
00:36:11,405 --> 00:36:13,340
See what they're fighting for.

429
00:36:14,374 --> 00:36:15,610
I like that.

430
00:36:17,745 --> 00:36:21,015
And what about you, Tom?
What are you fighting for?

431
00:36:21,149 --> 00:36:23,918
God, country
and honor aside.

432
00:36:24,052 --> 00:36:25,586
You know, Mrs. Brown, I'm...

433
00:36:26,521 --> 00:36:27,955
hoping to find that out.

434
00:36:29,757 --> 00:36:30,558
Come on.

435
00:36:30,692 --> 00:36:33,127
- Come on.
- Okay.

436
00:36:33,260 --> 00:36:36,564
Don't be fooled
by his strong,
silent act, by the way.

437
00:36:36,698 --> 00:36:37,732
He trusts you,

438
00:36:38,700 --> 00:36:41,135
I swear,
he's the funniest man
you'll ever know.

439
00:36:42,269 --> 00:36:45,238
I can't say he's shown me
that side yet.
Mm-hmm.

440
00:36:45,372 --> 00:36:47,809
Something to
look forward to.

441
00:36:47,942 --> 00:36:50,978
Well, you're about to spend
a lot of time together.

442
00:36:51,713 --> 00:36:53,648
Lot of time
in very small spaces.

443
00:37:01,288 --> 00:37:02,824
May I ask you a favor?

444
00:37:03,925 --> 00:37:05,225
Of course.

445
00:37:06,994 --> 00:37:09,997
Second he steps on that ship
and into that plane,

446
00:37:10,732 --> 00:37:12,567
I can't protect him anymore.

447
00:37:12,700 --> 00:37:14,902
So I need you to be there
for my Jesse.

448
00:37:16,137 --> 00:37:17,370
Okay?

449
00:37:20,307 --> 00:37:21,776
Okay.

450
00:37:23,678 --> 00:37:24,779
Okay.

451
00:37:24,912 --> 00:37:25,947
Good?

452
00:37:26,848 --> 00:37:28,916
- Hmm.
- That was good, yeah?

453
00:37:29,050 --> 00:37:30,118
Uh-huh.
Mm-hmm.

454
00:37:31,786 --> 00:37:32,954
Who is this?

455
00:37:34,055 --> 00:37:36,691
This is Pam.

456
00:37:38,192 --> 00:37:39,560
Hi, Pam.

457
00:37:46,366 --> 00:37:48,736
I don't think
she wants to embarrass
you, Lieutenant.

458
00:37:49,737 --> 00:37:51,672
It's too late. Come on.

459
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,009
She might hold the stick
better than you.
Okay.

460
00:37:56,476 --> 00:37:58,345
Well, I know
it's our last night here,

461
00:37:58,478 --> 00:38:01,616
so I'll let you all
enjoy it together.
Thank you again for the drink.

462
00:38:01,749 --> 00:38:04,018
You're very welcome.
I'll walk ya out.

463
00:38:24,939 --> 00:38:26,641
Just be careful.

464
00:38:27,675 --> 00:38:30,278
Worst thing
that can happen to me
is a bad sunburn.

465
00:38:30,410 --> 00:38:33,614
You come back as black
as you like,
as long as you come home.

466
00:38:36,150 --> 00:38:38,686
'Cause you're taking me
to The Bahamas
when you get back.

467
00:38:38,820 --> 00:38:39,654
Bahamas?

468
00:38:39,787 --> 00:38:41,088
If I get some shore time,

469
00:38:41,222 --> 00:38:44,592
I'll get you one of
those European swimsuits.

470
00:38:45,259 --> 00:38:48,062
One of those
two-piece things.

471
00:39:00,208 --> 00:39:01,441
Tootie...

472
00:39:03,244 --> 00:39:05,980
you know you can always
come back here and wave to me.

473
00:39:08,481 --> 00:39:12,687
I'm only 5,000 miles
that way.

474
00:39:15,256 --> 00:39:17,925
I'll wave back.
Mm-hmm.

475
00:39:21,796 --> 00:39:23,631
The only person I ever met

476
00:39:25,299 --> 00:39:26,701
belonged in the sky.

477
00:39:30,304 --> 00:39:33,473
Just remember you belong
down here with us, too, okay?

478
00:39:51,926 --> 00:39:54,494
I'll write you
every week.
Mm-hmm.

479
00:39:55,428 --> 00:39:57,131
I know you will.

480
00:41:00,528 --> 00:41:02,163
Break those
chains down.

<i>Secure from General Quarters.</i>
<i>All hands!</i>

482
00:41:26,721 --> 00:41:28,622
<i>Secure from General Quarters.</i>

483
00:41:32,093 --> 00:41:35,396
Maybe you'd be faster
if we did this in the middle
of the night.

484
00:41:35,529 --> 00:41:36,731
What you don't
seem to understand

485
00:41:36,864 --> 00:41:38,833
is that someday soon,
this is gonna be real.

486
00:41:38,966 --> 00:41:41,369
And you have to do
a hell of a lot better
than that!

487
00:41:41,502 --> 00:41:43,704
Yes, sir.

488
00:41:45,039 --> 00:41:45,906
All right.

489
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:47,842
I gotta
run him down to 2-A.

490
00:41:47,975 --> 00:41:49,944
I am getting tired
of getting ready.

491
00:41:50,077 --> 00:41:52,346
Tired of living in this
floating sardine can.

492
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:53,848
Tired of you
smelling like one.

493
00:41:53,981 --> 00:41:55,182
That's what
men smell like.

494
00:41:55,316 --> 00:41:57,151
Something to look forward to
one day, Fritz.

495
00:41:57,284 --> 00:41:58,953
Most excitement
we've seen in days.

496
00:41:59,086 --> 00:42:00,888
Ensign Brown.

497
00:42:02,156 --> 00:42:04,225
Could I speak to you
for a moment?

498
00:42:04,358 --> 00:42:06,060
Careful what you wish for.

499
00:42:06,193 --> 00:42:08,162
I'll go ahead
and respot it.

500
00:42:10,331 --> 00:42:11,565
Aye, sir.

501
00:42:12,233 --> 00:42:13,267
Huh.

502
00:42:24,945 --> 00:42:26,580
Do we have to do this
above deck?

503
00:42:26,714 --> 00:42:29,650
Oh, yeah.
It's great having you
right in front of your plane.

504
00:42:29,784 --> 00:42:31,018
Relax.
You look great.

505
00:42:31,552 --> 00:42:32,720
What's going on?

506
00:42:32,853 --> 00:42:34,555
<i>Life</i> magazine is here.

507
00:42:34,688 --> 00:42:37,324
I guess the Pentagon wanted
something positive for
the folks back home.

508
00:42:37,458 --> 00:42:40,961
Help 'em swallow the pill
of another potential war.

509
00:42:41,095 --> 00:42:43,431
What better way than,
"Black man makes good?"

He does makes
a nice trophy boy.
You ought to be proud, Skip.

00:42:48,135 --> 00:42:49,970
Shut up, Bo.

512
00:42:50,104 --> 00:42:54,108
Your commanding
officer called you one of the
best pilots he's ever seen,

00:42:54,241 --> 00:42:55,276

You know what I mean.
Jesse's fine.

525
00:43:26,273 --> 00:43:27,441
Okay, Jesse.

526
00:43:27,576 --> 00:43:29,643
There's a lot of guys

There's only
one you, too, sir.

Look, I mean no disrespect,

for me to say.

All right.

532
00:43:42,089 --> 00:43:43,224
I worked hard
to fly these planes.

533
00:43:43,357 --> 00:43:44,859
It's all I've ever wanted to do.

534
00:43:44,992 --> 00:43:46,794
- Harder than I can put into words.
-  Jesse.

535
00:43:46,927 --> 00:43:49,063
Can we get
a few more pictures
of Jesse in his plane?

536
00:43:49,196 --> 00:43:50,599
I gotta get my pilots
back to work.

537
00:43:50,731 --> 00:43:52,466
It'll just take
a minute, Lieutenant.

538
00:43:52,601 --> 00:43:54,435
Lieutenant Commander.
Have a nice day.

539
00:43:54,569 --> 00:43:55,970
Watch your back!

540
00:43:56,904 --> 00:43:59,206
Damn, Jesse. You just put
a letter in the mail.

One a week.

542
00:44:01,142 --> 00:44:02,443
That's what I told her.

543
00:44:02,577 --> 00:44:04,478
It's no use trying
to slow him down.

544
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,716
Hey, we caught
your little circus act
up on deck.

545
00:44:10,217 --> 00:44:12,052
Your boy juggle, too?
Or...

546
00:44:44,586 --> 00:44:45,986
Guess not.

547
00:44:47,755 --> 00:44:50,758
Well. Nice.

548
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,462
We should have
stood up to
that asshole.

549
00:44:56,730 --> 00:44:58,299
I'm good, Tom.

550
00:45:05,674 --> 00:45:08,943
Look, I'm just saying
we shouldn't be letting
him run his mouth like that.

551
00:45:44,211 --> 00:45:46,413
Now, I know
that you're all sick
of doing busywork,

552
00:45:46,548 --> 00:45:49,850
but, oh, have I
got a chore for
a lucky someone.

553
00:45:49,984 --> 00:45:51,653
Not it.
Maintenance has replaced

554
00:45:51,785 --> 00:45:53,120
a gyro on one of the Corsairs,

555
00:45:53,254 --> 00:45:54,822
I need a volunteer to
make sure all is working.

556
00:45:54,955 --> 00:45:56,991
It's just a quick
up and down.
I thought you said "lucky."

557
00:45:57,124 --> 00:45:58,759
It sounds like
a hoot.

558
00:45:58,892 --> 00:46:00,427
Why don't we
give it to Fritz?

559
00:46:01,061 --> 00:46:02,631
He could use the landing.

560
00:46:02,763 --> 00:46:04,999
I'll do it.

561
00:46:05,567 --> 00:46:06,800
All right.

562
00:46:07,736 --> 00:46:08,802
Actually,

563
00:46:08,936 --> 00:46:10,304
if you don't mind,
Lieutenant,

564
00:46:11,706 --> 00:46:12,806
Lavery's right for once.

565
00:46:12,940 --> 00:46:13,774
'Course I'm right.

566
00:46:13,907 --> 00:46:15,543
I could use the trap.

567
00:46:16,443 --> 00:46:17,612
All yours.

568

<i>Heil Herr Mohring!</i>

569
00:46:19,013 --> 00:46:20,781

- All right.

570
00:46:20,914 --> 00:46:23,450
All right, now as for
the rest of you,

571

ordered an audit

572
00:46:25,119 --> 00:46:27,988
on serial numbers
on parts across
all of the planes.

573
00:46:28,122 --> 00:46:30,257
So while Mohring is
up there enjoying
the sightseeing,

574
00:46:30,391 --> 00:46:33,827
the rest of you can
validate all of
the serial numbers

575
00:46:33,961 --> 00:46:36,130
on every single one of
these maintenance orders.

577
00:46:38,966 --> 00:46:40,568
- Yeah.
- Uh, sir?

00:46:40,702 --> 00:46:42,002
That'll take all day.

579
00:46:42,136 --> 00:46:44,004

586
00:47:51,872 --> 00:47:53,173

587
00:47:55,008 --> 00:47:56,511

"P-5-5-1-8-4."

589

What is it?

590
00:48:19,366 --> 00:48:20,735
Not gonna
make the deck.

591
00:48:20,869 --> 00:48:21,935
He'll make it.

592
00:48:22,069 --> 00:48:23,605
Just gotta slowly
pour on the power.

593
00:48:23,738 --> 00:48:25,239
On this approach?

594
00:48:28,108 --> 00:48:29,611
Better to wave off.

595
00:48:30,377 --> 00:48:31,445

00:49:00,675 --> 00:49:02,176

603
00:49:06,581 --> 00:49:09,116

605

He's in the water.

606
00:49:15,824 --> 00:49:17,991
- Man overboard!
- Get your vest pack!

607
00:49:18,125 --> 00:49:19,159
We need rescue!

608
00:49:19,293 --> 00:49:21,028
Poured on the power
too damn fast.

609
00:49:29,604 --> 00:49:31,606
Let's go, let's go!

610
00:49:32,339 --> 00:49:33,741
Do we pull him out?

611
00:49:55,830 --> 00:49:59,233
Some people are gonna
tell you that this is
what you signed up for.

612
00:50:00,234 --> 00:50:01,468
It's not.

613
00:50:02,904 --> 00:50:04,438
Let's be real clear.

614
00:50:05,205 --> 00:50:06,741
We lost a friend.

615
00:50:06,875 --> 00:50:08,275
And that is not easy.

616
00:50:08,676 --> 00:50:09,711
Now,

617
00:50:10,512 --> 00:50:12,680
the Navy's gonna do
what the Navy does.

618
00:50:13,213 --> 00:50:14,147
But, um...

619
00:50:14,281 --> 00:50:16,049
I'll write his family.

620
00:50:25,058 --> 00:50:26,761
Send them his things.

621
00:50:48,115 --> 00:50:49,684
The guys are getting together.

622
00:51:07,569 --> 00:51:09,037
Just because you think
you know better

623
00:51:09,169 --> 00:51:11,371
doesn't mean you
have to say anything.

624
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,543
What are you talking about?

625
00:51:15,677 --> 00:51:17,679
Carol hadn't been
in the water
five seconds

626
00:51:17,812 --> 00:51:19,948
before you were
talking about what
he could've done better.

627
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,382
We all make mistakes.
That could've been me,
that--

628
00:51:25,553 --> 00:51:27,989
Don't let that ring
convince you otherwise.

629
00:51:28,121 --> 00:51:30,357
What's the one thing
they told us about
the Corsair?

630
00:51:30,490 --> 00:51:32,192
Remind me.
What'd they tell us
about the Corsair?

631
00:51:32,326 --> 00:51:33,561
You can't punch
the throttle.

632
00:51:33,695 --> 00:51:36,129
Mistakes get
us killed, Jesse.

633
00:51:39,567 --> 00:51:41,736
You don't die
if you do
what you're told.

634
00:51:43,370 --> 00:51:44,672
Fellas.

635
00:51:46,841 --> 00:51:48,342
You coming?

636
00:51:58,886 --> 00:52:00,320
To Carol.

637
00:52:36,791 --> 00:52:39,527
We're not even at war,
and we're losing men.

638
00:52:40,695 --> 00:52:41,896
Good men.

639
00:52:44,832 --> 00:52:46,199
It's just a
tough pill to swallow

640
00:52:46,333 --> 00:52:48,168
when there's
nothing to blame.

641
00:52:53,741 --> 00:52:56,243
The swim test
in flight school...

642
00:53:02,984 --> 00:53:05,218
They made me do it ten times.

643
00:53:11,526 --> 00:53:14,227
Didn't believe that
a nigger could swim.

644
00:53:16,296 --> 00:53:18,265
They dumped ice in the water.

645
00:53:21,368 --> 00:53:23,403
Put weights
in my flight suit.

646
00:53:26,941 --> 00:53:28,341
Held me under.

647
00:53:32,580 --> 00:53:35,282
They wouldn't have cared
if I died in that pool.

648
00:53:38,186 --> 00:53:39,787
But every time...

649
00:53:42,255 --> 00:53:43,558
I made it out.

650
00:53:54,569 --> 00:53:58,405
Got used to flying
the Bearcat.

651
00:54:00,407 --> 00:54:01,743
See everything.

652
00:54:02,375 --> 00:54:03,878
The deck on approach.

653
00:54:05,245 --> 00:54:07,181
All right
in front of me.

654
00:54:07,314 --> 00:54:10,317
I could land it on
my front yard if I had to.

655
00:54:16,524 --> 00:54:17,892
But the Corsair...

656
00:54:24,599 --> 00:54:26,333
I can't see anything.

657
00:54:29,137 --> 00:54:30,838
You have to
rely on the LSO.

658
00:54:31,639 --> 00:54:33,174
Hard to believe
that the LSO

659
00:54:33,306 --> 00:54:35,810
won't crash my Black ass
on purpose.

660
00:54:40,347 --> 00:54:41,448
I can't tell you
how many times

661
00:54:41,582 --> 00:54:43,618
people have told me
to give up, quit.

662
00:54:44,752 --> 00:54:45,853
Die, even.

663
00:54:48,321 --> 00:54:51,592
That's why you can't always
do what you're told.

664
00:54:55,295 --> 00:54:57,532
If I did, I wouldn't be here.

665
00:55:05,273 --> 00:55:08,075
That's something
I was trying to teach Mohring.

666
00:55:42,210 --> 00:55:43,311
<i>You guys are tired.</i>

667
00:55:43,443 --> 00:55:45,546
I see it. Hell, I am, too.

668
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:47,414
Been a rough few weeks.

669
00:55:48,583 --> 00:55:51,018
Fortunately,
we are docking in Cannes

670
00:55:51,152 --> 00:55:52,587
for a little shore leave.

671
00:55:52,720 --> 00:55:54,188
Now,
I don't know about you,

672
00:55:54,322 --> 00:55:56,057
but I think
some fresh air would
do all of us some good.

673
00:55:56,190 --> 00:55:58,893
Obviously, ship rules
follow you ashore.

674
00:55:59,026 --> 00:56:00,795
Liberty expires at 2300.

675
00:56:00,928 --> 00:56:03,764
You are foreigners
in a foreign city,
and you look the part.

676
00:56:03,898 --> 00:56:05,967
So please, Marty,
please, dear God,

677
00:56:06,100 --> 00:56:08,135
don't do anything stupid.
Mm-hmm.

678
00:56:08,269 --> 00:56:10,538
Oh, and, uh, no,
I don't wanna come with you

679
00:56:10,671 --> 00:56:12,340
and do whatever is it
that you're gonna do,

680
00:56:12,472 --> 00:56:13,741
but thank you.

681
00:56:13,875 --> 00:56:15,276
Go away.

682
00:56:20,413 --> 00:56:23,551
Don't let Cevoli
catch you selling
those to the locals.

683
00:56:23,684 --> 00:56:25,319
Let me tell you something.

684
00:56:25,452 --> 00:56:28,356
I've been in the Navy
since I was 16.

685
00:56:28,488 --> 00:56:30,758
And our line of work
is a dangerous one.

686
00:56:30,892 --> 00:56:32,260
One where tomorrow
is never promised.

687
00:56:32,392 --> 00:56:34,795
Hell, tomorrow's barely
a gentleman's agreement.

688
00:56:35,730 --> 00:56:38,498
So if there's liberty
to be had...

689
00:56:38,633 --> 00:56:40,735
...then liberty
we should take.

690
00:56:41,636 --> 00:56:43,704
At two dollars a pack,
I'll take a risk.

691
00:56:46,240 --> 00:56:48,209
Let's enjoy ourselves, boys.

692
00:56:48,342 --> 00:56:49,744
Mohring would insist.

693
00:56:50,410 --> 00:56:52,079
When in France.

694
00:56:52,213 --> 00:56:54,414
There he is.
Tom.

695
00:57:07,427 --> 00:57:10,064
Don't do anything
I wouldn't do, sailor.

696
00:57:20,508 --> 00:57:21,776
What
do we have here?

697
00:57:21,909 --> 00:57:22,810
Hello.

698
00:57:22,944 --> 00:57:24,512
At the Boulevard
de la Croissant.

699
00:57:24,645 --> 00:57:26,781
Few too many sailors
on this street.

700
00:57:26,914 --> 00:57:28,849
Doesn't look like
a street with
a whorehouse on it.

701
00:57:28,983 --> 00:57:31,118
- No.
-  You don't have enough scratch or game

702
00:57:31,252 --> 00:57:32,820
for these fine European women.

703
00:57:32,954 --> 00:57:35,589
Hey, I'm here to drink,
so just point me
in that direction.

704
00:57:35,723 --> 00:57:37,925
Oh, to the first bar
we find, then.

705
00:57:38,059 --> 00:57:39,794
You guys go ahead.

706
00:57:39,927 --> 00:57:41,996
I gotta find something
for Daisy.

707
00:57:43,731 --> 00:57:45,433
I'll catch up.
All right.

708
00:57:45,566 --> 00:57:48,202
Hey, don't forget
the, uh, lacy bits.

709
00:57:48,336 --> 00:57:49,770
Funny.

710
00:58:27,441 --> 00:58:28,642
What's going on?

711
00:58:28,776 --> 00:58:30,745
Are you blind?
It's Liz Taylor.

712
00:58:30,878 --> 00:58:32,513
The movie star.
Where the hell have you been?

713
00:58:32,646 --> 00:58:34,015
I'd like that.

714
00:58:34,148 --> 00:58:34,882
Miss Taylor.
Mmm.

715
00:58:35,016 --> 00:58:36,350
Would you sign
my postcard?

716
00:58:36,484 --> 00:58:38,486
Oh, I don't do
signatures, darling.

717
00:58:38,619 --> 00:58:40,254
But I'll
give you a kiss.

718
00:58:42,923 --> 00:58:44,325
Thank you, Mrs. Taylor.

719
00:58:44,458 --> 00:58:45,493
And who's your friend?

720
00:58:45,926 --> 00:58:47,428
He ain't with me.

721
00:58:47,561 --> 00:58:50,264
Ensign Jesse Brown, ma'am.

722
00:58:52,501 --> 00:58:53,768
I'm a naval aviator.

723
00:58:53,901 --> 00:58:56,170
Oh, they let colored folks
be pilots these days?

724
00:58:56,704 --> 00:58:57,705
It would appear so.

725
00:58:57,838 --> 00:58:59,340
Well, how enlightened.

726
00:58:59,473 --> 00:59:00,908
Liz?

727
00:59:02,276 --> 00:59:03,778
I have to run, dear,

728
00:59:03,911 --> 00:59:06,614
but you and your wingmen
should join us
at the casino later.

729
00:59:06,747 --> 00:59:08,215
I like pilots.

730
00:59:08,749 --> 00:59:10,151
Miss Elizabeth?

731
00:59:11,786 --> 00:59:13,421
I'm sure
you've noticed, but--

732
00:59:13,554 --> 00:59:14,889
You just wear
something smart,

733
00:59:15,022 --> 00:59:18,125
and you tell them
Elizabeth invited you.

734
00:59:30,671 --> 00:59:32,273
You're thinking it.

735
00:59:33,908 --> 00:59:35,276
Ah, look who it is.

736
00:59:36,143 --> 00:59:37,344
Get something nice
for Daisy?

737
00:59:37,478 --> 00:59:39,046
Yeah, got something else, too.

738
00:59:39,180 --> 00:59:42,116
I was invited to
the Casino de Carlo
this evening.

739
00:59:42,249 --> 00:59:43,884
We all were, actually.

740
00:59:45,386 --> 00:59:47,556
- By Elizabeth Taylor.
- You're shitting me.

741
00:59:47,688 --> 00:59:48,989
Wait, Liz Taylor,
the actress?

742
00:59:49,123 --> 00:59:49,957
How? Where?

743
00:59:50,091 --> 00:59:52,593
How? Met her.
Where? At the beach.

744
00:59:53,327 --> 00:59:54,328
Nice lady, actually.

745
00:59:54,462 --> 00:59:56,230
I don't believe you.

746
00:59:56,897 --> 00:59:58,065
But I got
some money to blow.

747
00:59:58,199 --> 00:59:59,501
Let's see if you're lying.

748
00:59:59,633 --> 01:00:00,801
Now we're talking.

749
01:00:00,935 --> 01:00:02,903
Put up or shut up.

750
01:00:12,213 --> 01:00:13,247
Fellas.

751
01:00:15,883 --> 01:00:17,017
Let's get dressed. Whoo!

752
01:00:17,151 --> 01:00:18,953
Wow.

753
01:00:27,261 --> 01:00:30,565
Now, I know y'all are used
to getting turned down,
but I ain't.

754
01:00:30,698 --> 01:00:33,033
If we don't get in,
doubt this is
the only place in town.

755
01:00:33,167 --> 01:00:35,369
Yeah, but this is the only
place with Liz Taylor.

756
01:00:35,504 --> 01:00:36,770
Allegedly.

757
01:00:39,373 --> 01:00:40,841
We were invited.

758
01:00:41,610 --> 01:00:44,145
I am certain
you were not.

759
01:00:47,014 --> 01:00:49,250
Elizabeth Taylor.
I believe she--
Please, sir,

760
01:00:49,383 --> 01:00:51,418
leave now.
Jesse.

761
01:00:53,187 --> 01:00:55,956
It's okay.
We'll go find somewhere else.

762
01:00:57,725 --> 01:00:58,926
Right.

763
01:00:59,660 --> 01:01:00,861
Okay.

764
01:01:24,653 --> 01:01:25,886
This way.

765
01:01:30,391 --> 01:01:32,326
You sly dog.

766
01:01:32,793 --> 01:01:34,028
Never in doubt.

767
01:01:40,734 --> 01:01:43,304
Did you see her? This is...
Oh, man!

768
01:01:44,438 --> 01:01:46,073
Women here are...

769
01:01:47,074 --> 01:01:48,776
I think it's time
to make a little money.

770
01:01:48,909 --> 01:01:52,713
Oh, look at this place!
I think we found the party.

771
01:01:55,684 --> 01:01:58,852
Oh, no!

772
01:02:01,956 --> 01:02:03,891
Is that...
Liz Taylor.

773
01:02:06,193 --> 01:02:07,294
That's Liz Taylor!
Liz Taylor.

774
01:02:07,428 --> 01:02:10,431
That's Liz Taylor?
She look nice.

775
01:02:11,065 --> 01:02:12,733
Guess I should introduce you.

776
01:02:13,467 --> 01:02:14,536
Yep.

777
01:02:14,669 --> 01:02:16,070
- Fellas?
- Mm-hmm?

778
01:02:20,140 --> 01:02:22,176
Never met a movie star.
Kinda nervous.

779
01:02:22,309 --> 01:02:23,811
Well, lookie-loo.

780
01:02:23,944 --> 01:02:25,746
The Fighting 32.

781
01:02:26,581 --> 01:02:28,115
You came!

782
01:02:28,583 --> 01:02:29,817
Yes, ma'am.

783
01:02:31,952 --> 01:02:33,454
Do you gentlemen
all know each other?

784
01:02:33,588 --> 01:02:35,122
Just sharing space
at the moment, ma'am.

785
01:02:35,256 --> 01:02:37,891
That's right.
Until the actual war starts.

786
01:02:38,025 --> 01:02:39,760
And then,
we'll be on the ground.

787
01:02:39,893 --> 01:02:41,730
And they'll be nowhere
to be found.

788
01:02:41,862 --> 01:02:43,698
You always talk
in nursery rhymes?

789
01:02:43,831 --> 01:02:45,933
Please, take a seat.

790
01:02:46,066 --> 01:02:48,836
I could use some
fresh luck anyway.

791
01:02:49,436 --> 01:02:50,437
Yes, ma'am.

792
01:02:50,938 --> 01:02:52,172
Please.

793
01:02:59,046 --> 01:03:01,048
Okay. Why don't you
and I grab a drink

794
01:03:01,181 --> 01:03:04,653
and toast to not being
on a ship with these guys?

795
01:03:04,785 --> 01:03:05,953
Come on.
Good idea.

796
01:03:06,086 --> 01:03:07,821
Buy a couple rounds on us.

797
01:03:09,290 --> 01:03:10,991
I'll keep your seat warm.

798
01:03:13,260 --> 01:03:14,663
Put some here.

799
01:03:14,795 --> 01:03:17,464
Let's go, Buddy.
Come on.
Here. And...

800
01:03:18,899 --> 01:03:19,768
Here.

801
01:03:22,136 --> 01:03:23,404
Here.

802
01:03:35,349 --> 01:03:37,017
My lucky man.

803
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:41,822
Oh, here we go.

804
01:03:42,590 --> 01:03:43,857
Cheers, ladies.

805
01:03:43,991 --> 01:03:45,392
To beautiful people,
beautiful life.
Cheers.

806
01:03:45,527 --> 01:03:47,828
Yes, cheers.
New friends,
future ex-wives.

807
01:03:47,961 --> 01:03:49,798
Here we go. Hey!

808
01:03:53,768 --> 01:03:54,935
Whoo!

809
01:03:55,069 --> 01:03:56,236
Mm-hmm.

810
01:03:56,370 --> 01:03:58,138
That's what we call
a winner.

811
01:03:59,674 --> 01:04:00,974
Come on!

812
01:04:01,108 --> 01:04:03,143
About time
to call it a night, Bubba.

813
01:04:03,277 --> 01:04:04,311
Yes!

814
01:04:05,346 --> 01:04:06,380
Oh, shit.

815
01:04:15,690 --> 01:04:19,059
So, you speak French.

816
01:04:19,193 --> 01:04:21,028
I picked it up
in high school.

817
01:04:22,731 --> 01:04:24,031
Uh, sir. Uh, whiskey,

818
01:04:24,164 --> 01:04:26,534
and then,
whatever my friend's having.

819
01:04:38,011 --> 01:04:39,446
Show off.

820
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:41,048
That was pretty good.

821
01:04:41,181 --> 01:04:44,351
It's good.

822
01:04:46,621 --> 01:04:47,856
Pretty wild.

823
01:04:47,988 --> 01:04:50,958
Rubbing shoulders
with movie stars.

824
01:04:51,091 --> 01:04:52,594
Drinking, gambling.

825
01:04:53,961 --> 01:04:55,896
The Reds are
about to strike,

826
01:04:56,029 --> 01:04:57,665
we're partying in France.

827
01:05:00,901 --> 01:05:03,904
I just want to go home
with this having
meant something.

828
01:05:04,037 --> 01:05:05,239
Well...

829
01:05:06,206 --> 01:05:08,909
You just keep it up
with Miss Liz Taylor,

830
01:05:09,878 --> 01:05:10,812
and you just might.

831
01:05:14,682 --> 01:05:15,717
Thank you.

832
01:05:16,383 --> 01:05:17,985
You forgot the ginger beer.

833
01:05:18,118 --> 01:05:19,687
I saw a place
looked real nice.

834
01:05:19,821 --> 01:05:21,355
I'll get a drink from there.

835
01:05:21,488 --> 01:05:23,090
Hey, pal.
Let's try that.

836
01:05:23,625 --> 01:05:24,659
Let's try that.

837
01:05:27,361 --> 01:05:28,863
Change of scenery,
fellas.

838
01:05:28,996 --> 01:05:31,699
As long as this place
has French women,
I'm happy.

839
01:05:31,833 --> 01:05:33,066
We'll be jake on that front.

840
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:34,935
Right, I lost
all my money anyway.
Come on.

841
01:05:35,068 --> 01:05:36,336
- We're leaving?
- Sorry.

842
01:05:36,470 --> 01:05:37,404
Excuse me?

843
01:05:37,539 --> 01:05:40,608
Miss Elizabeth,
thank you for having us.

844
01:05:40,742 --> 01:05:42,209
It was very kind of you.

845
01:05:42,342 --> 01:05:44,077
Well, is that it for you boys?

846
01:05:44,211 --> 01:05:45,880
I'm afraid so.

847
01:05:46,013 --> 01:05:49,016
Hmm. Well,
you be safe out there.

848
01:05:54,021 --> 01:05:55,255
Would you?

849
01:05:57,391 --> 01:05:58,425
Thank you.

850
01:06:05,867 --> 01:06:08,703
We're a little outside
the liberty area.

851
01:06:08,837 --> 01:06:11,573
I won't tell if you don't,
Lieutenant. Voilà!

852
01:06:11,706 --> 01:06:12,941
Oh!

853
01:06:13,073 --> 01:06:15,175
Voilà, voilà! Look at that.

854
01:06:15,309 --> 01:06:16,744
How'd you find this place?

855
01:06:20,380 --> 01:06:22,750
<i>Bonjour.</i> Ladies.

856
01:06:22,884 --> 01:06:24,117
You behave.

857
01:06:26,788 --> 01:06:29,022
Uh, whiskey, please.

858
01:06:31,693 --> 01:06:32,993
Careful.

859
01:06:38,999 --> 01:06:40,668
Hmm.

860
01:06:40,802 --> 01:06:41,936
Ladies!

861
01:06:42,069 --> 01:06:44,471
And drinks.
Here you go.

862
01:06:50,143 --> 01:06:53,548
So you gotta use what ya got.

863
01:06:57,652 --> 01:07:01,188
Being handsome
helped me land Daisy,
but you?

864
01:07:03,558 --> 01:07:04,893
You?

865
01:07:05,058 --> 01:07:08,462
We're gonna need
a different approach.

866
01:07:08,596 --> 01:07:09,597
How about...

867
01:07:10,397 --> 01:07:14,468
You're an American aviator
in France?

868
01:07:15,202 --> 01:07:16,370
That's all I got?

869
01:07:16,504 --> 01:07:18,405
Gotta play to
your strengths, Lieutenant.

870
01:07:18,806 --> 01:07:20,040
Sir.

871
01:07:22,577 --> 01:07:23,811
You're without your wings.

872
01:07:23,945 --> 01:07:25,813
You gotta be
kidding me.

873
01:07:25,947 --> 01:07:27,815
No, no, Jesse,
I'm not takin' your wings.

874
01:07:27,949 --> 01:07:28,983
Just borrowing.

875
01:07:30,018 --> 01:07:33,588
Plus, my CO refused
to pin 'em on me
during graduation,

876
01:07:33,721 --> 01:07:37,057
so they're not
that sentimental.

877
01:07:39,694 --> 01:07:41,428
Now, at least
you look the part.

878
01:07:47,434 --> 01:07:50,004
What about
a magic trick?
Magic trick?

879
01:07:50,137 --> 01:07:52,306
Yeah.
You know magic tricks?

880
01:07:52,974 --> 01:07:55,043
I-- I know 'em.
I know...

881
01:07:55,175 --> 01:07:56,209
Yes or no?
It's a magic trick.

882
01:07:56,343 --> 01:07:58,211
You know a magic trick?
Yeah.

883
01:08:02,082 --> 01:08:03,885
Like I said,
you gotta use what you got.

884
01:08:09,557 --> 01:08:11,425
"It's my first time
in France."

885
01:08:16,229 --> 01:08:17,932
Sorry.
It's okay.

886
01:08:18,066 --> 01:08:19,099
Just say, <i>"Bonjour."</i>

887
01:08:19,232 --> 01:08:20,635
<i>Bonjour.</i>
<i>Bonjour.</i>

888
01:08:26,173 --> 01:08:28,009
<i>Bonjour. Bonjour.</i>

889
01:08:29,209 --> 01:08:30,243
I'd like to, um,

890
01:08:30,377 --> 01:08:32,446
treat you ladies
to a magic trick.

891
01:08:32,580 --> 01:08:34,314
It's called the, uh,

892
01:08:34,448 --> 01:08:36,017
Fire Breathing Aviator.

893
01:08:41,488 --> 01:08:43,992
Oh, la, la.

894
01:08:48,395 --> 01:08:49,831
<i>You know Frank Sinatra?</i>

895
01:08:50,732 --> 01:08:53,801
He's my third cousin.
Yeah.

896
01:08:53,935 --> 01:08:56,403
I don't sound like him,
but I sure as hell
look like him, right?

897
01:08:56,537 --> 01:08:58,271
Looks better on you.
You're the pilot in command.

898
01:08:58,405 --> 01:09:01,075
Bordeaux?
Baby, I don't drink wine. No.

899
01:09:01,208 --> 01:09:04,211
Forgive my uncultured friend.
He doesn't know a damn thing.

900
01:09:04,712 --> 01:09:06,279
Stick to whiskey.

901
01:09:22,030 --> 01:09:23,531
Oh, they let you in here?

902
01:09:26,299 --> 01:09:29,671
You know, I had something
going with Liz
before y'all showed up.

903
01:09:32,573 --> 01:09:34,241
I think she's married.

904
01:09:35,342 --> 01:09:36,711
Something funny, sideshow?

905
01:09:36,844 --> 01:09:38,680
Excuse me,
just give me one second.

906
01:09:38,813 --> 01:09:41,448
You're the one
that brought the circus.

907
01:09:42,349 --> 01:09:44,052
Hey.

908
01:09:44,184 --> 01:09:46,219
- What's going on?
- Nothing.

909
01:09:46,353 --> 01:09:47,421
Everything's fine.

910
01:09:47,555 --> 01:09:49,189
You need your
pansy-ass friend here

911
01:09:49,322 --> 01:09:50,591
to help you out?
Hey.

912
01:09:50,725 --> 01:09:51,926
All right,
we can cool it.

913
01:09:52,060 --> 01:09:53,161
We've all been drinking.

914
01:09:53,293 --> 01:09:55,195
- Tom. I'm good.
- Hey, hey.

915
01:09:55,328 --> 01:09:56,698
I-- I know.

916
01:09:56,831 --> 01:09:58,465
Yeah, but you won't be
after I'm done with you.

917
01:09:59,667 --> 01:10:01,936
- Back up! Tom!
- Come on!

918
01:10:02,070 --> 01:10:03,504
Come on!
Oh, sorry.

919
01:10:03,638 --> 01:10:04,939
Tom!
There's someone there.

920
01:10:05,073 --> 01:10:06,574
Come on!
Stop! Stop! Stop!

921
01:10:06,708 --> 01:10:08,810
- Come on!
- Let go of him! Hey! Hey!

922
01:10:08,943 --> 01:10:10,611
Come on, boys,
we gotta go!
Stop! Stop!

923
01:10:10,745 --> 01:10:12,880
- Come on! Let's go! Run!
- We gotta go. Run!

924
01:10:13,014 --> 01:10:14,314
Ah, shoot, your wings.

925
01:10:14,448 --> 01:10:15,950
- Y'all lucky!
- Let's go!

926
01:10:16,084 --> 01:10:17,018
Hustle, ladies!

927
01:10:17,151 --> 01:10:19,352
Oh, um.

928
01:10:19,486 --> 01:10:21,989
Tom, come on!
Tom, that way! That way!

929
01:10:22,123 --> 01:10:23,725
Oh, God!
Go, go, go!

930
01:10:32,533 --> 01:10:34,367
You know
how I do that trick?

931
01:10:35,368 --> 01:10:36,804
I eat the cigarette.

932
01:10:38,371 --> 01:10:40,007
You didn't have to do that.

933
01:10:41,008 --> 01:10:42,409
I got the kiss.

934
01:10:44,145 --> 01:10:45,780
I wish you hadn't hit him.

935
01:10:47,648 --> 01:10:49,650
You would've done
the same for me.

936
01:10:59,093 --> 01:11:00,460
Not hunting
for a thank you.

937
01:11:00,595 --> 01:11:02,230
You were hunting
for a fight though.

938
01:11:02,362 --> 01:11:03,931
Defending my wingman.

939
01:11:10,605 --> 01:11:12,607
I can fight my own fights.

940
01:11:14,242 --> 01:11:16,010
Been doing it
for a long time now.

941
01:11:28,890 --> 01:11:29,924
Jesse Brown.

942
01:11:30,591 --> 01:11:32,325
Squadron of one.

943
01:11:39,499 --> 01:11:42,036
Ready room. ASAP.
Something big's going down.

944
01:11:51,012 --> 01:11:53,915
<i>I hope that you all</i>
<i>had fun last night,</i>

945
01:11:54,048 --> 01:11:58,418
because the North Koreans
came pouring over
the 38th Parallel.

946
01:11:58,553 --> 01:11:59,821
They have taken Seoul.

947
01:11:59,954 --> 01:12:01,823
If they take the rest of
the southern peninsula,

948
01:12:01,956 --> 01:12:05,159
it's on to Japan,
and there go our efforts
to contain communism,

949
01:12:05,293 --> 01:12:06,359
so says Washington.

950
01:12:06,493 --> 01:12:08,196
So, what does that
mean for us?

951
01:12:08,328 --> 01:12:09,297
It means we're up.

952
01:12:09,429 --> 01:12:11,699
We're setting sail for Korea.

953
01:12:11,833 --> 01:12:13,501
Now, I know that
for almost all of you,

954
01:12:13,634 --> 01:12:16,103
this will be the first time
you're seeing combat.

955
01:12:16,804 --> 01:12:18,206
Your training
is important, yes.

956
01:12:18,338 --> 01:12:21,175
And you are sure as hell ready
to do what you need to do.

957
01:12:21,309 --> 01:12:22,610
I made sure of that.

958
01:12:22,743 --> 01:12:25,146
But the most
important thing is this:

959
01:12:25,279 --> 01:12:26,981
we bring everyone home.

960
01:12:28,249 --> 01:12:30,885
We bring everyone home.

961
01:12:40,328 --> 01:12:43,664
<i>Brass is worried</i>
<i>there may be as many as</i>
<i>100,000 Chinese</i>

962
01:12:43,798 --> 01:12:47,635
<i>already in North Korea,</i>
<i>ready to take up the fight</i>
<i>at a moment's notice.</i>

963
01:12:47,768 --> 01:12:50,370
MacArthur ordered B-29's
to take out two bridges

964
01:12:50,504 --> 01:12:52,640
along the Yalu River,
on the border,

965
01:12:52,773 --> 01:12:55,977
hoping to slow the Chinese
from sending in
any more troops.

966
01:12:56,110 --> 01:12:57,111
But they missed.

967
01:12:57,245 --> 01:12:59,113
So, I will lead
the Fighting 32.

968
01:12:59,247 --> 01:13:01,983
We will take out
the antiaircraft
in Sinuiju City.

969
01:13:02,116 --> 01:13:04,218
Tarsiers, you will fly support
for the Panthers

970
01:13:04,352 --> 01:13:07,088
until it is safe for them
to come in and bomb
those bridges.

971
01:13:07,221 --> 01:13:09,123
This is just a friendly
reminder, gentlemen.

972
01:13:09,257 --> 01:13:11,926
Don't shoot or bomb anything
on the Chinese side
of the river,

973
01:13:12,059 --> 01:13:14,195
unless you wanna be
personally responsible

974
01:13:14,328 --> 01:13:15,963
for starting another
world war.

975
01:13:16,097 --> 01:13:18,532
We're flying directly
into gunfire.

976
01:13:18,666 --> 01:13:20,034
I need everyone sharp.

977
01:13:20,534 --> 01:13:21,769
Be smart.

978
01:13:22,336 --> 01:13:23,470
Be ready.

979
01:13:23,604 --> 01:13:24,872
Yes, sir.

980
01:13:42,790 --> 01:13:45,293
201 to 205. You there?

981
01:13:45,425 --> 01:13:46,827
<i>Go ahead, 201.</i>

982
01:13:46,961 --> 01:13:48,996
I seem to be having some trouble
with my landing gear.

983
01:13:49,130 --> 01:13:50,164
<i>Can you confirm?</i>

984
01:13:51,399 --> 01:13:53,501
<i>Your gear is in transit.</i>

985
01:13:53,968 --> 01:13:55,435
Uh, 201 to rug.

986
01:13:55,569 --> 01:13:58,406
We got a mechanical issue,
and can't lead us
to the mission area.

987
01:13:58,539 --> 01:14:00,174
Passing the lead to 205.

988
01:14:00,308 --> 01:14:03,544
<i>Roger, 205. You are cleared</i>
<i>for the downwind.</i>

989
01:14:07,882 --> 01:14:09,951
Stay on the right side
of the river, Tom.

990
01:14:10,084 --> 01:14:11,686
Yes, sir.

991
01:15:12,146 --> 01:15:13,848
205 is in hot.

992
01:15:53,254 --> 01:15:54,288
<i>205 to Flight.</i>

993
01:15:55,656 --> 01:15:57,625
Commencing flak
suppression now.

994
01:15:59,693 --> 01:16:00,661
Ah!

995
01:16:02,396 --> 01:16:03,564
It's a MiG!

996
01:16:05,933 --> 01:16:09,570
Koenig, take Goode and Lavery.
Stay on the AA.

997
01:16:09,703 --> 01:16:10,505
We're on it.

998
01:16:10,638 --> 01:16:12,106
Jesse, break left.

999
01:16:12,239 --> 01:16:13,174
Let's hose this guy.

1000
01:16:13,307 --> 01:16:14,575
Roger that!

1001
01:16:16,644 --> 01:16:18,079
Happy hunting.

1002
01:16:18,212 --> 01:16:19,346
It's Bo time.

1003
01:16:32,193 --> 01:16:33,160
Three good hits.

1004
01:16:33,294 --> 01:16:35,763
Coming around for another
run on the AA.

1005
01:16:44,573 --> 01:16:46,273
- See him?
<i>- Negative.</i>

1006
01:16:46,707 --> 01:16:47,975
I got nothing.

1007
01:16:58,619 --> 01:17:00,354
Bandit high!
Bandit high!
Huh?

1008
01:17:00,488 --> 01:17:01,789
<i>Break!</i>

1009
01:17:15,002 --> 01:17:16,704
Tom! He's on me pretty good!

1010
01:17:16,837 --> 01:17:19,240
I'm gonna bring him to you
through the canyon.

1011
01:17:20,741 --> 01:17:22,376
I say we show him
the lighthouse.

1012
01:17:22,511 --> 01:17:23,744
Meet me in the middle.

1013
01:17:30,184 --> 01:17:34,388
Enemy AA is silenced.
I repeat, enemy AA
is silenced.

1014
01:17:34,523 --> 01:17:37,258
<i>Copy that, Flight Leader.</i>
<i>Approaching target now.</i>

1015
01:17:41,630 --> 01:17:42,930
Oh!

1016
01:17:51,338 --> 01:17:52,973
Come on.

1017
01:18:12,893 --> 01:18:15,129
Okay,
I have a visual on you.

1018
01:18:15,262 --> 01:18:17,599
Break right,
up and hard on my call.

1019
01:18:17,731 --> 01:18:19,300
Roger that!

1020
01:18:30,744 --> 01:18:31,912
Ready, set...

1021
01:18:32,046 --> 01:18:33,814
<i>Hit it!</i>

1022
01:18:41,656 --> 01:18:42,756
Good hit, Tom!

1023
01:18:42,890 --> 01:18:46,093
Quite fine, Jesse! Quite fine!

1024
01:18:50,364 --> 01:18:53,200
<i>This is Panther lead.</i>
<i>Approaching target.</i>

1025
01:19:15,690 --> 01:19:16,957
<i>Good hit, good hit.</i>

1026
01:19:17,091 --> 01:19:19,360
<i>Rear bridge is down.</i>
<i>Coming back around.</i>

1027
01:19:22,463 --> 01:19:24,798
<i>Let's bring it home,</i>
<i>Panthers.</i>

1028
01:19:33,675 --> 01:19:37,211
<i>Flight lead,</i>
<i>we've got AA</i>
<i>coming from the Chinese side.</i>

1029
01:19:37,344 --> 01:19:38,713
<i>We can't touch 'em.</i>

1030
01:19:38,846 --> 01:19:40,548
Time to bug out.

1031
01:19:40,682 --> 01:19:42,049
<i>Roger that.</i>

1032
01:19:55,863 --> 01:19:57,998
205, I still have ordnance.

1033
01:19:58,566 --> 01:19:59,701
<i>I can hit the bridge.</i>

1034
01:19:59,833 --> 01:20:02,269
It's too much AA, 211.
Stand down.

1035
01:20:06,407 --> 01:20:08,976
Jesse, stand down!
That's an order!

1036
01:21:29,089 --> 01:21:30,491
That's a direct hit!

1037
01:21:30,625 --> 01:21:33,026
<i>That's a direct hit!</i>
<i>Bridge is down!</i>

1038
01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:34,796
<i>That a boy, Jesse!</i>

1039
01:21:34,928 --> 01:21:36,163
There we go, ace!

1040
01:21:36,296 --> 01:21:38,733
<i>Iroquois, this is 205.</i>

1041
01:21:38,867 --> 01:21:40,702
Both bridges have been
destroyed.

1042
01:21:40,835 --> 01:21:42,269
Returning to ship.

1043
01:21:42,403 --> 01:21:45,372
<i>Copy that, 205.</i>
<i>Good work.</i>

1044
01:21:57,652 --> 01:22:00,889
<i>Seems like I missed</i>
<i>one hell of a ride, huh?</i>

1045
01:22:01,021 --> 01:22:04,391
Intelligence has confirmed
that that rat line
has been crippled. Well done.

1046
01:22:05,492 --> 01:22:07,227
Now, we are all
still on standby,

1047
01:22:07,361 --> 01:22:11,398
but everybody go
get yourselves cleaned up
for some chow.

1048
01:22:12,867 --> 01:22:14,502
Well...

1049
01:22:14,636 --> 01:22:17,004
Let's go, boys.
Let's get some food.
Good job, Tom.

1050
01:22:20,207 --> 01:22:21,709
Here's the mission report.

1051
01:22:22,710 --> 01:22:23,944
Well done, Hudner.

1052
01:22:25,212 --> 01:22:26,447
How you feeling?

1053
01:22:27,582 --> 01:22:28,616
Good.

1054
01:22:31,285 --> 01:22:32,319
Hmm.

1055
01:22:32,854 --> 01:22:34,087
Sit down.

1056
01:22:46,701 --> 01:22:47,635
Meh.

1057
01:22:49,203 --> 01:22:50,437
That feeling?

1058
01:22:51,305 --> 01:22:53,508
That's the mundanity
of a job well done.

1059
01:22:57,645 --> 01:23:01,215
You know how many wars
there have been
in the history of mankind?

1060
01:23:03,050 --> 01:23:04,251
No, course not.

1061
01:23:04,384 --> 01:23:06,487
'Cause most wars
are forgotten.

1062
01:23:06,621 --> 01:23:08,088
All the men
who fought in 'em,

1063
01:23:08,222 --> 01:23:10,859
and all the medals they won.

1064
01:23:10,991 --> 01:23:13,728
Heroes and hardware
fade to the back
of the history books

1065
01:23:13,862 --> 01:23:15,730
because it's not about war.

1066
01:23:15,864 --> 01:23:19,333
This war never ends,
there's no V Day,
there's no finish line.

1067
01:23:20,467 --> 01:23:22,570
The real battle
in all of life

1068
01:23:22,704 --> 01:23:25,038
is being someone
that people can count on.

1069
01:23:26,574 --> 01:23:28,576
And that isn't defined
in a single moment.

1070
01:23:28,710 --> 01:23:31,546
You earn that with
a lifetime of showing up.

1071
01:23:32,847 --> 01:23:36,684
These conflicts,
they don't define you, Tom.
You don't want 'em to.

1072
01:23:36,818 --> 01:23:38,051
Trust me.

1073
01:23:39,754 --> 01:23:42,055
Go get something to eat.

1074
01:23:43,156 --> 01:23:44,391
Go on.

1075
01:23:50,632 --> 01:23:51,666
Hey, Tom.

1076
01:23:53,300 --> 01:23:55,035
What's the most
important thing?

1077
01:23:56,336 --> 01:23:58,105
Bring 'em home.

1078
01:23:58,506 --> 01:23:59,541
You did.

1079
01:24:41,248 --> 01:24:43,183
Sir,
that is absolutely true.

1080
01:24:43,317 --> 01:24:47,220
This is wisdom-seven.
 Enemy troops estimate company size and two tanks...

1081
01:24:54,896 --> 01:24:59,199
<i>Personnel Tango-Romeo-</i>
<i>5-2-5-3-9-0.</i>

1082
01:25:04,706 --> 01:25:06,373
You know what else
I could use?

1083
01:25:06,507 --> 01:25:08,375
Warm blankets?

1084
01:25:09,944 --> 01:25:11,178
Fire?

1085
01:25:11,813 --> 01:25:13,213
The sun, maybe?

1086
01:25:14,582 --> 01:25:15,850
Another shot
with Liz Taylor.

1087
01:25:15,984 --> 01:25:18,987
Oh, Jesus! Buddy,
you gotta stop saying that.

1088
01:25:19,119 --> 01:25:20,955
You never had a shot with Liz.

1089
01:25:21,089 --> 01:25:22,824
Uh, you weren't
paying attention.

1090
01:25:24,559 --> 01:25:26,027
I would take feeling
in my toes

1091
01:25:26,159 --> 01:25:28,062
rather than a shot
with Liz right now.

1092
01:25:35,268 --> 01:25:37,204
You think
they'll hit us tonight?

1093
01:25:39,073 --> 01:25:40,307
I would.

1094
01:25:41,676 --> 01:25:43,878
You ever got anything nice
to say?

1095
01:26:05,033 --> 01:26:06,901
- Incoming!
- Shit!

1096
01:26:10,104 --> 01:26:11,338
Corpsman!

1097
01:26:11,471 --> 01:26:12,840
You're doing fine.
I got you.

1098
01:26:13,508 --> 01:26:14,742
Downrange!

1099
01:26:16,678 --> 01:26:18,813
- Move left!
- Fire at will!

1100
01:26:18,946 --> 01:26:20,615
Move, move, move!

1101
01:26:21,115 --> 01:26:22,482
Incoming!

1102
01:26:38,066 --> 01:26:39,299
What's going on?

1103
01:26:58,186 --> 01:26:59,419
Looks like
the mission report said

1104
01:26:59,554 --> 01:27:02,255
I ignored my commanding
officer's orders.

1105
01:27:05,727 --> 01:27:07,528
Well, you know
how this stuff works.

1106
01:27:07,662 --> 01:27:09,530
I only wrote down
what happened.

1107
01:27:13,134 --> 01:27:15,803
I'm glad that's
what you saw,
Lieutenant.

1108
01:27:20,141 --> 01:27:21,576
It's what happened.

1109
01:27:27,715 --> 01:27:30,718
Look, what difference
does it make?
We got the job done.

1110
01:27:37,158 --> 01:27:38,760
Insubordination.

1111
01:27:44,031 --> 01:27:46,567
That's what they're putting
in my Fitness Report.

1112
01:27:53,508 --> 01:27:54,776
Uh, no, Cevoli's gotta
understand--

1113
01:27:54,909 --> 01:27:56,476
It's coming from
above Cevoli, Tom.

1114
01:27:56,611 --> 01:27:58,311
Skipper's already read it.

1115
01:28:04,018 --> 01:28:05,520
Jesse, I didn't
want that to happen.

1116
01:28:05,653 --> 01:28:08,956
What did you want to happen,
Mr. Academy?

1117
01:28:16,130 --> 01:28:17,430
Sorry, pal.

1118
01:28:28,976 --> 01:28:31,746
You really hamstringed me
on this one.

1119
01:28:35,448 --> 01:28:37,852
I can't get promoted
with that on my report.

1120
01:28:46,727 --> 01:28:48,863
You ever think
we'd see a MiG?

1121
01:28:48,996 --> 01:28:51,632
Hell, I thought
Goode was gonna bail out
all the way back to Brooklyn.

1122
01:28:51,766 --> 01:28:54,035
You're the one
who shit his pants
when the MiG swooped in.

1123
01:28:54,168 --> 01:28:56,737
By the way,
you changed your diaper yet?
Why don't you come check?

1124
01:28:56,871 --> 01:28:59,406
Yeah, we're lucky
we made it out alive
the way you two shoot.

1125
01:28:59,540 --> 01:29:00,775
How's that for aim?

1126
01:29:04,344 --> 01:29:05,847
I need your help
with something.

1127
01:29:07,582 --> 01:29:09,183
<i>All blue shirts on duty...</i>

1128
01:29:09,317 --> 01:29:11,252
Boy, you stole it.

1129
01:29:11,384 --> 01:29:13,120
That's a white man's uniform.

1130
01:29:13,254 --> 01:29:15,923
<i>All blue shirts on duty</i>
<i>report to Main Hangar 3.</i>

1131
01:29:16,057 --> 01:29:18,059
You shouldn't be
in that.

1132
01:29:18,192 --> 01:29:19,426
Eh, boy?

1133
01:29:20,862 --> 01:29:22,763
Think I'll make it out--

1134
01:29:46,187 --> 01:29:48,956
Every hateful word
anyone's ever said to me.

1135
01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:54,362
Wrote it down.

1136
01:29:58,465 --> 01:29:59,901
Repeat it to myself.

1137
01:30:04,872 --> 01:30:06,841
Been doing it
since I was a boy.

1138
01:30:10,011 --> 01:30:11,045
It helps.

1139
01:30:20,221 --> 01:30:21,421
What's that?

1140
01:30:21,555 --> 01:30:23,190
Testimonies from the guys.

1141
01:30:23,324 --> 01:30:26,961
Saying how the mission
was complicated,
and you did the right thing.

1142
01:30:28,262 --> 01:30:30,798
It'll fix whatever remark
they put in your report.

1143
01:30:38,673 --> 01:30:39,974
There's a--
There's a way things work

1144
01:30:40,107 --> 01:30:41,943
you're not always
gonna understand.

1145
01:30:43,711 --> 01:30:48,082
A slap on my wrist,
it's-- it's not the same
as a slap on yours.

1146
01:30:51,652 --> 01:30:52,887
This won't help.

1147
01:30:58,893 --> 01:31:00,695
I'm sticking
my neck out for you.

1148
01:31:02,330 --> 01:31:04,031
Sticking your neck out?

1149
01:31:04,799 --> 01:31:06,167
With a piece of paper?

1150
01:31:08,035 --> 01:31:09,469
Tom...

1151
01:31:11,505 --> 01:31:13,207
that paper cost you nothing.

1152
01:31:14,508 --> 01:31:15,743
Nothing!

1153
01:31:16,544 --> 01:31:18,446
You know how tired
I am of people

1154
01:31:18,579 --> 01:31:21,682
trying to help me
while looking down on me?

1155
01:31:24,819 --> 01:31:26,721
I'm not looking down on you.

1156
01:31:30,825 --> 01:31:32,560
What do you want me to do?

1157
01:31:37,865 --> 01:31:41,035
Just be my wingman, pal.

1158
01:31:43,704 --> 01:31:44,939
That's it.

1159
01:31:46,841 --> 01:31:50,611
Forget the life saver,
and get in the damn water!

1160
01:31:50,745 --> 01:31:52,246
Please, Tom!

1161
01:32:23,177 --> 01:32:24,712
Ensign Brown?

1162
01:32:26,380 --> 01:32:29,750
We were waiting for you
back in the wardroom,
but you never showed.

1163
01:32:32,353 --> 01:32:33,854
Needed some time alone.

1164
01:32:38,859 --> 01:32:41,062
Bunch of us brothers
across the ship been talking.

1165
01:32:42,296 --> 01:32:44,465
Heard you had some
real good shooting yesterday,

1166
01:32:44,598 --> 01:32:46,934
and we just wanna
let you know we see you.

1167
01:32:50,771 --> 01:32:54,408
Yeah, my rack man knows
how to fix it. I'll get him.

1168
01:32:54,543 --> 01:32:58,279
On it. Now get these
back on the cleats, too.

1169
01:33:01,516 --> 01:33:03,617
Tab it, mark it off.

1170
01:33:13,727 --> 01:33:16,363
Bunch of us chipped in
back in Cannes.

1171
01:33:25,005 --> 01:33:26,807
What's your name, sailor?

1172
01:33:27,441 --> 01:33:28,642
Fambrough.

1173
01:33:29,276 --> 01:33:31,946
Archie Fambrough, sir.

1174
01:33:34,148 --> 01:33:35,649
Jesse.

1175
01:33:49,630 --> 01:33:50,998
Archie.

1176
01:33:54,935 --> 01:33:56,804
Tell the brothers
I appreciate it.

1177
01:34:12,853 --> 01:34:16,056
Roger that!
Let's mount it to the deck!
We should be good.

1178
01:34:16,190 --> 01:34:18,025
All right, let's go.

1179
01:34:18,959 --> 01:34:20,529
That's it, easy. Easy!

1180
01:34:20,661 --> 01:34:22,329
Be gentle now.
All right, let's go,
let's go, come on!

1181
01:34:22,463 --> 01:34:24,665
- We got you.
- He's packaged.

1182
01:34:24,798 --> 01:34:25,933
Gonna be okay.

1183
01:34:26,066 --> 01:34:28,369
Move! Doc's
waiting downstairs.

1184
01:34:30,271 --> 01:34:31,305
We got you, bud.

1185
01:34:34,375 --> 01:34:37,111
Aye, aye, sir,
they're up and running.

1186
01:34:37,244 --> 01:34:39,980
Hey, double time it
back to your station.

1187
01:34:40,549 --> 01:34:42,049
Mississippi Brown?

1188
01:34:42,917 --> 01:34:44,619
Charlie Ward.

1189
01:34:44,752 --> 01:34:45,986
We went to
flight school together.

1190
01:34:46,120 --> 01:34:48,322
Alabama Ward?
The very one.

1191
01:34:49,456 --> 01:34:51,258
You flying eggbeaters now?

1192
01:34:51,392 --> 01:34:53,360
The Navy must've heard
I was looking for something
stupid and dangerous.

1193
01:34:53,494 --> 01:34:56,363
Besides, I wouldn't
feel right sharing
the fixed-wing skies

1194
01:34:56,497 --> 01:34:58,032
with a Southern legend.

1195
01:34:58,933 --> 01:35:00,034
Always knew you'd make it,

1196
01:35:00,167 --> 01:35:02,102
but it is damn good
to see you, Jesse.

1197
01:35:02,236 --> 01:35:05,339
Although, I wish it were
under better circumstances.

1198
01:35:10,110 --> 01:35:11,345
Good to see you, pal.

1199
01:35:13,013 --> 01:35:15,015
Take care of yourself,
Mississippi.

1200
01:35:19,588 --> 01:35:20,821
'Bama!

1201
01:35:22,923 --> 01:35:24,158
I married her.

1202
01:35:29,797 --> 01:35:31,498
Oh, we home, baby.

1203
01:35:33,200 --> 01:35:35,035
You wanna get down?

1204
01:35:35,169 --> 01:35:36,203
Okay.

1205
01:35:44,478 --> 01:35:45,513
Jesse.

1206
01:35:55,055 --> 01:35:57,324
<i>My dear, sweet angel,</i>

1207
01:35:57,458 --> 01:35:59,126
<i>I hope this letter</i>
<i>reaches you in time,</i>

1208
01:35:59,260 --> 01:36:01,061
<i>because I wanted</i>
<i>to be the first</i>

1209
01:36:01,195 --> 01:36:03,497
<i>to wish you</i>
<i>a very happy birthday.</i>

1210
01:36:03,632 --> 01:36:06,100
<i>I know it's hard to plan</i>
<i>a party from across the world,</i>

1211
01:36:06,233 --> 01:36:09,738
<i>but I thought of something fun</i>
<i>we might be</i>
<i>able to do together.</i>

1212
01:36:09,870 --> 01:36:11,071
<i>Grab Pam.</i>

1213
01:36:11,205 --> 01:36:12,574
<i>Got something for her, too.</i>

1214
01:36:17,878 --> 01:36:19,446
"Oh, it's dark
and it's cramped

1215
01:36:19,581 --> 01:36:21,415
in this spot we've all been.

1216
01:36:21,549 --> 01:36:25,919
It's a place for a chick,
but not a mean, old hen."

1217
01:36:48,008 --> 01:36:51,412
"It's dark and it's cramped,
in this spot we've all been."

1218
01:37:08,530 --> 01:37:12,199
- Daddy got us a gift.
- Oh.

1219
01:37:12,333 --> 01:37:13,367
Yeah.

1220
01:37:17,639 --> 01:37:19,106
Miss Pam, look.

1221
01:37:31,753 --> 01:37:36,323
<i>Darling,</i>
<i>hope you found a little box</i>
<i>in Pam's closet.</i>

1222
01:37:37,759 --> 01:37:39,293
<i>I'm going to close now.</i>

1223
01:37:39,426 --> 01:37:41,495
<i>I'll write to you</i>
<i>as soon I can.</i>

1224
01:37:42,229 --> 01:37:43,964
<i>Your devoted husband.</i>

1225
01:37:45,099 --> 01:37:48,503
<i>Lovingly and completely yours.</i>

1226
01:37:50,003 --> 01:37:51,338
<i>I'll love you forever.</i>

1227
01:37:52,607 --> 01:37:53,641
<i>Jesse.</i>

1228
01:38:04,652 --> 01:38:08,088
Just talked to some of
those injured soldiers
that are arriving.

1229
01:38:13,227 --> 01:38:15,129
They're from
the 1st Marine Division.

1230
01:38:15,262 --> 01:38:18,065
Same ones
who hitched a ride with us
from Quonset.

1231
01:38:19,433 --> 01:38:21,402
They're pinned down
at Hagaru Base.

1232
01:38:22,704 --> 01:38:25,507
They're saying that
it's an unspeakable hell.

1233
01:38:27,675 --> 01:38:28,843
For every one marine,

1234
01:38:28,976 --> 01:38:31,311
there are six Chinese
hiding in the woods.

1235
01:38:31,445 --> 01:38:33,914
Gets below minus 30 at night.

1236
01:38:36,751 --> 01:38:39,453
Those boys are holding on
by their fingernails.

1237
01:38:41,756 --> 01:38:44,626
Some air support would be
mighty welcome. Hmm?

1238
01:38:46,226 --> 01:38:49,363
Punch a hole in that wall.
Take away the Chinese
numerical advantage.

1239
01:38:49,496 --> 01:38:52,366
Give our guys a chance
to get back up on their feet.

1240
01:38:57,404 --> 01:38:59,507
This is a dangerous mission.

1241
01:39:00,875 --> 01:39:03,343
It is dangerous
in a different way
than Sinuiju, okay?

1242
01:39:03,477 --> 01:39:05,345
This is not about
bridges and rat lines.

1243
01:39:05,479 --> 01:39:08,550
This is about thousands
of Chinese soldiers
hiding in the woods

1244
01:39:08,683 --> 01:39:11,985
and shooting at you
from 20 feet below.

1245
01:39:13,555 --> 01:39:15,322
This is extremely
hazardous duty.

1246
01:39:15,456 --> 01:39:17,224
I am not gonna sugarcoat it.

1247
01:39:17,792 --> 01:39:19,426
Men need help,

1248
01:39:19,561 --> 01:39:21,763
and they need what
only we can give 'em.

1249
01:39:22,564 --> 01:39:24,364
So, I'm gonna take you there.

1250
01:39:24,933 --> 01:39:26,233
We're gonna give 'em hell.

1251
01:39:26,366 --> 01:39:28,235
We're gonna get
those marines back.

1252
01:39:28,368 --> 01:39:29,904
Yes, sir.
Let's get outta here.

1253
01:39:30,037 --> 01:39:32,206
- Two o'clock!
- Comin' at ya!

1254
01:39:32,339 --> 01:39:34,308
- I can't see it.
- I got him!

1255
01:39:34,441 --> 01:39:36,109
I got him!

1256
01:39:49,691 --> 01:39:51,191
Buddy, hey!

1257
01:39:53,026 --> 01:39:54,127
You're good, you're good.

1258
01:39:54,261 --> 01:39:55,864
Come on, come on.
You're good. Go!

1259
01:39:56,029 --> 01:39:57,331
You're good. Go!

1260
01:40:09,209 --> 01:40:10,678
Right side!
Two o'clock!

1261
01:40:11,278 --> 01:40:12,514
Bring it out!

1262
01:40:14,816 --> 01:40:16,149
You know any good prayers?

1263
01:40:16,283 --> 01:40:17,886
Come on, we've seen
worse than this!

1264
01:40:18,018 --> 01:40:21,321
If you want a prayer,
"Dear God, send us
some angels."

1265
01:40:35,570 --> 01:40:37,805
There!
The tree line! Light 'em up!

1266
01:40:41,943 --> 01:40:44,679
- Fire 'em up!
-  Yeah, get 'em, boys!

1267
01:40:59,192 --> 01:41:00,628
Yeah!

1268
01:41:13,206 --> 01:41:14,776
Move! Move! Move!
Come on!

1269
01:41:14,909 --> 01:41:17,045
Can't let the flyboys
take all the credit!

1270
01:41:24,251 --> 01:41:27,154
Get down,
get down! Let's go!
Let's go! Let's go!

1271
01:41:49,376 --> 01:41:50,812
Yeah!

1272
01:41:52,145 --> 01:41:54,448
You see that?
We got a Negro pilot!

1273
01:41:55,115 --> 01:41:57,384
Let's go!

1274
01:42:06,928 --> 01:42:09,063
<i>Looks like we got</i>
<i>the Chinese running,</i>

1275
01:42:09,229 --> 01:42:10,565
but let's get
a closer look, boys.

1276
01:42:10,698 --> 01:42:12,265
Rendezvous on me.

1277
01:42:22,710 --> 01:42:25,513
211, you got a streamer.
I think you're losing fuel.

1278
01:42:34,055 --> 01:42:35,023
It's not fuel.

1279
01:42:35,155 --> 01:42:36,791
She's bleeding oil.

1280
01:42:48,036 --> 01:42:50,571
She's not staying up
in the air much longer.

1281
01:42:52,974 --> 01:42:55,877
Let's climb.
Find a place
to put her down.

1282
01:43:08,990 --> 01:43:11,291
<i>Take her down</i>
<i>nice and easy, Jesse.</i>

1283
01:43:20,568 --> 01:43:21,803
Jesse, at your 10:00.

1284
01:43:24,105 --> 01:43:25,740
<i>It could work.</i>

1285
01:43:26,406 --> 01:43:27,675
Eyes on it.

1286
01:43:37,785 --> 01:43:39,854
Flight lead,
I'm following him down.

1287
01:43:39,987 --> 01:43:42,156
Copy that.
We'll keep an eye on you.

1288
01:43:42,289 --> 01:43:43,858
Switching radio to
search and rescue.

1289
01:43:49,864 --> 01:43:50,898
Checklist?

1290
01:43:51,866 --> 01:43:52,900
Go ahead.

1291
01:43:53,668 --> 01:43:55,335
Salvo rockets.

1292
01:44:09,150 --> 01:44:10,585
Release drop tanks.

1293
01:44:20,260 --> 01:44:22,429
Canopy back and locked.

1294
01:44:34,041 --> 01:44:35,275
Deadstick.

1295
01:44:35,777 --> 01:44:36,911
<i>Deadstick.</i>

1296
01:44:37,779 --> 01:44:39,147
I'm not gonna make
the clearing.

1297
01:44:39,279 --> 01:44:41,949
Yes, you are.
Flaps down.

1298
01:44:55,596 --> 01:44:57,364
<i>You're at 200 feet.</i>

1299
01:45:02,703 --> 01:45:04,471
She won't go any slower.

1300
01:45:07,175 --> 01:45:08,776
I can't stick with you.

1301
01:45:09,577 --> 01:45:11,579
That's the whole
nine yards, Tom.

1302
01:45:50,450 --> 01:45:53,988
Come on! Come on.
Come on!

1303
01:46:07,168 --> 01:46:09,369
211, come in.

1304
01:46:11,138 --> 01:46:12,840
211, come in.

1305
01:46:16,644 --> 01:46:19,046
Tom, once Jesse gets cleared,
you scuttle that plane.

1306
01:46:19,180 --> 01:46:21,749
We can't have the Corsair
falling into enemy hands.

1307
01:46:25,319 --> 01:46:26,687
He's not moving.

1308
01:46:28,122 --> 01:46:30,725
Come on, Jesse. Come on.

1309
01:46:34,629 --> 01:46:36,764
Come on, Jesse. Come on.

1310
01:46:51,045 --> 01:46:52,146
What's he doing?

1311
01:46:52,280 --> 01:46:53,781
<i>Why isn't he getting out?</i>

1312
01:46:53,915 --> 01:46:56,884
If we can see the smoke,
the Chinese can, too.

1313
01:46:58,686 --> 01:47:00,054
He should've been out by now.

1314
01:47:00,755 --> 01:47:02,356
<i>He's stuck in there.</i>

1315
01:47:02,489 --> 01:47:04,725
That fire is gonna
eat him alive.

1316
01:47:04,859 --> 01:47:07,161
Come on, Jesse.
Get out of there.

1317
01:47:24,578 --> 01:47:25,980
I'm gonna go get Jesse.

1318
01:47:26,113 --> 01:47:27,715
<i>Tom, you're gonna</i>
<i>get yourself killed.</i>

1319
01:47:27,848 --> 01:47:29,216
<i>Don't crash</i>
<i>your own plane.</i>

1320
01:47:29,350 --> 01:47:30,618
The hell are you doing,
Hudner?

1321
01:47:30,751 --> 01:47:32,586
Mayday, mayday, mayday.
Iroquois, 201.

1322
01:47:32,720 --> 01:47:36,090
<i>RDF call. I have one,</i>
<i>soon-to-be two pilots down.</i>

1323
01:47:36,223 --> 01:47:37,490
<i>Request immediate assistance.</i>

1324
01:47:37,625 --> 01:47:39,293
<i>201,</i>
<i>you are in hostile airspace.</i>

1325
01:47:39,427 --> 01:47:42,163
<i>Search and rescue is still</i>
<i>estimating 30 minutes out.</i>

1326
01:47:42,296 --> 01:47:43,230
<i>Return to ship.</i>

1327
01:47:45,933 --> 01:47:48,602
Tom, search and rescue
is 30 minutes out,

1328
01:47:48,736 --> 01:47:50,671
but help is on the way.

1329
01:47:52,306 --> 01:47:53,541
Be careful down there.

1330
01:47:55,042 --> 01:47:56,143
Yes, sir.

1331
01:49:59,100 --> 01:50:01,969
You just ruined
a perfectly good
Corsair, Lieutenant.

1332
01:50:04,038 --> 01:50:06,440
I think that's going
in the mission report.

1333
01:50:08,342 --> 01:50:09,977
That's a negative.
We can't send an Angel.

1334
01:50:10,111 --> 01:50:11,580
Our choppers
can't fly in the dark.

1335
01:50:11,712 --> 01:50:13,114
It's way too dangerous.

1336
01:50:15,049 --> 01:50:16,217
Who'd they say is down?

1337
01:50:16,350 --> 01:50:17,852
Two Corsairs from VF-32.

1338
01:50:17,985 --> 01:50:19,687
Lieutenant Hudner
and an Ensign Brown.

1339
01:50:22,423 --> 01:50:23,724
Tell 'em I'm coming.

1340
01:50:28,429 --> 01:50:29,997
Stuck in good, Tom.

1341
01:50:32,833 --> 01:50:34,468
I'm gonna put out this fire.

1342
01:50:34,603 --> 01:50:36,203
We'll get you
out of here, okay?

1343
01:51:06,267 --> 01:51:08,102
Should we get you
out of here?

1344
01:51:09,470 --> 01:51:10,771
Can we push?

1345
01:51:19,113 --> 01:51:20,147
One.

1346
01:51:21,215 --> 01:51:22,283
Two.

1347
01:51:22,416 --> 01:51:23,784
Three.

1348
01:51:49,009 --> 01:51:50,311
Up and hard on my call.

1349
01:53:23,203 --> 01:53:24,572
Jesse, you hear that?

1350
01:53:30,210 --> 01:53:31,845
They're coming for us.

1351
01:54:01,842 --> 01:54:04,378
- He's pinned inside.
- Take the axe.

1352
01:54:04,512 --> 01:54:07,981
We got enemy
not far away.
We gotta work fast!

1353
01:54:20,729 --> 01:54:22,396
Tom.

1354
01:54:23,430 --> 01:54:24,566
Tom!

1355
01:54:32,674 --> 01:54:34,007
Just...

1356
01:54:35,710 --> 01:54:37,344
tell Daisy...

1357
01:54:40,682 --> 01:54:42,650
how much I love her.

1358
01:54:45,119 --> 01:54:46,920
We're getting you out of here.

1359
01:54:55,630 --> 01:54:56,664
Hudner!

1360
01:54:57,565 --> 01:54:58,666
Hudner!

1361
01:55:03,705 --> 01:55:05,239
Hudner!

1362
01:55:36,303 --> 01:55:37,839
We have to leave now.

1363
01:55:45,880 --> 01:55:47,582
I'll come back for you.

1364
01:56:46,406 --> 01:56:48,776
Tom, keep warm,
all right?

1365
01:56:48,910 --> 01:56:49,978
Coffee down there.

1366
01:56:50,110 --> 01:56:52,079
We'll get you
out of here soon.

1367
01:58:41,556 --> 01:58:43,256
We can't get Jesse.

1368
01:58:46,594 --> 01:58:48,228
The area is
totally overrun.

1369
01:58:48,362 --> 01:58:50,430
Search and rescue
is too dangerous.

1370
01:58:51,933 --> 01:58:54,736
Skipper has asked us
to scuttle both planes.

1371
01:58:58,640 --> 01:59:01,843
Hudner,
Doc has grounded you.

1372
01:59:07,682 --> 01:59:09,550
This is
a funeral flight, men.

1373
01:59:12,319 --> 01:59:14,589
This is your only chance
to say goodbye.

1374
01:59:22,697 --> 01:59:23,865
Wheels up in 15.

1375
02:00:20,154 --> 02:00:21,455
Oh, Tom...

1376
02:00:22,355 --> 02:00:23,825
I know.

1377
02:00:54,387 --> 02:00:56,924
Yesterday, we lost
a great aviator.

1378
02:00:57,658 --> 02:00:59,392
<i>Ensign Jesse Brown.</i>

1379
02:01:01,095 --> 02:01:03,564
<i>His loss is felt</i>
<i>all across this ship,</i>

1380
02:01:05,099 --> 02:01:07,935
<i>and will certainly be felt</i>
<i>all across our nation.</i>

1381
02:01:10,538 --> 02:01:12,607
<i>Our country needed</i>
<i>Jesse Brown.</i>

1382
02:01:24,919 --> 02:01:26,821
...Jesse.
Don't worry about that.

1383
02:03:23,403 --> 02:03:24,772
Thank you, ma'am.

1384
02:03:27,141 --> 02:03:30,410
Mrs. Brown.
I'm Seaman First Class
Clara Carrol.

1385
02:03:30,544 --> 02:03:32,113
It's a pleasure
meeting you.

1386
02:03:33,047 --> 02:03:34,414
Come right this way.

1387
02:04:30,638 --> 02:04:31,973
Excuse me.

1388
02:04:50,391 --> 02:04:51,692
Daisy.

1389
02:04:57,665 --> 02:04:59,266
These are yours.

1390
02:05:14,615 --> 02:05:17,351
I can imagine
this is a lot.

1391
02:05:17,485 --> 02:05:19,920
I can't imagine
how you must--
I'm okay.

1392
02:05:21,655 --> 02:05:23,057
But thank you.

1393
02:05:30,898 --> 02:05:33,034
I was afraid of
coming here today.

1394
02:05:34,135 --> 02:05:36,237
More afraid than
I've been in my life.

1395
02:05:37,506 --> 02:05:40,708
To face you knowing I--
Tom, I appreciate
what you did.

1396
02:05:43,010 --> 02:05:44,578
And I hope you know that.

1397
02:06:01,629 --> 02:06:03,864
I was with Jesse
before he died.

1398
02:06:06,600 --> 02:06:09,670
He was calm
throughout it all.

1399
02:06:11,572 --> 02:06:13,240
I was with him
to the very end.

1400
02:06:17,111 --> 02:06:19,613
The last words
out of his mouth
were for you.

1401
02:06:21,248 --> 02:06:22,483
He said,

1402
02:06:23,250 --> 02:06:25,753
"Just tell Daisy how
much I love her."

1403
02:06:35,663 --> 02:06:37,765
I'm sorry
I couldn't save him.

1404
02:06:41,702 --> 02:06:43,737
Tom,
that was never your job.

1405
02:06:45,339 --> 02:06:47,908
Never anyone's job
to save Jesse.

1406
02:06:50,744 --> 02:06:52,680
I asked you
to be there for him.

1407
02:06:54,516 --> 02:06:56,016
And you were.

1408
02:07:25,379 --> 02:07:28,649
<i>I'm going to close now</i>
<i>and climb into the rack.</i>

1409
02:07:29,683 --> 02:07:32,753
<i>I honestly dread going to bed,</i>
<i>but I usually dream of you,</i>

1410
02:07:32,887 --> 02:07:37,158
<i>so I'll manage to make it</i>
<i>until we'll share our bed</i>
<i>together again.</i>

1411
02:07:39,793 --> 02:07:41,128
<i>Darling,</i>

1412
02:07:42,496 --> 02:07:44,064
<i>pray that it'll be soon.</i>

1413
02:07:45,065 --> 02:07:46,433
<i>I have to fly tomorrow...</i>

1414
02:07:48,435 --> 02:07:50,070
<i>but so far as that goes,</i>

1415
02:07:50,204 --> 02:07:51,805
<i>my heart hasn't been</i>
<i>to the earth</i>

1416
02:07:51,939 --> 02:07:54,275
<i>since the first time</i>
<i>you kissed me.</i>

1417
02:07:56,076 --> 02:07:57,612
<i>And when you love me,</i>

1418
02:07:57,745 --> 02:08:02,183
<i>you send it clear</i>
<i>out of this world.</i>

1419
02:08:09,089 --> 02:08:11,158
<i>I'll write you</i>
<i>as soon as I can.</i>

1420
02:08:12,760 --> 02:08:13,994
<i>I love you forever.</i>
