[00:01:20]You want Kanakas, the ones from Hawaii. You know what they call us mainlanders? Patonsks.

[00:01:44]The way they tell it, if you wrap on our heads, it's like hitting a coconut.

[00:01:47]Hollowheads, you know. Patonk. Katon.

[00:02:00]Look where you're going, will you?

[00:02:03]>> 90-day wonder. Still got the original shine on those bars.

[00:02:26]Lieutenant Grayson will see the agitant.

[00:02:28]>> He's not in, sir. The colonel said he'd see himself.

[00:02:30]>> Thank you.

[00:02:41]>> You can go right in, sir.

[00:02:50]Lieutenant Grayson reports for duty, sir.

[00:02:52]>> That is, Lieutenant. Welcome to Camp Shelby.

[00:02:54]>> Thank you, sir.

[00:02:56]>> This your first assignment since receiving your commission?

[00:02:58]>> Yes, sir.

[00:02:59]>> Well, Lieutenant, it's a rough one. The platoon you're taking over is just ready to start training. And as you may have noticed, our facilities are not all that they might be. We're short of officers, short of equipment, short of everything except trainees. And they're coming in by the Carlo. This is a brand new outfit, a new kind of outfit. No precedent for it except one battalion that was activated in Hawaii and they haven't been tested yet. What do you think of the idea, Lieutenant?

[00:03:24]>> Sir, I'd like to make a request.

[00:03:27]>> What is it?

[00:03:28]>> I'd like your permission, sir, to put in for a transfer to the 36th Division. You see, sir, I'm from Texas.

[00:03:34]>> What has that got to do with it?

[00:03:36]>> Nothing, sir, except that the 36 is an old Texas National Guard outfit, and I've been in it ever since I got in the army. That is until they sent me to OCS.

[00:03:45]I never would have gone if I thought, sir, I just took it for granted that I'd go back to the 36th.

[00:03:51]>> You're sure that's the only reason you have for wanting a transfer?

[00:03:54]>> Yes, sir.

[00:03:56]>> No objection to working with the kind of troops we have here?

[00:03:59]>> Because they're japs?

[00:04:00]>> Oh, no, sir. Nothing like that at all.

[00:04:03]>> Let's get a couple of things straight, Lieutenant.

[00:04:06]>> First, there's not going to be any transfer. You're staying here. Have you got that?

[00:04:10]>> Yes, sir.

[00:04:12]Second, they're not Japs. They're Japanese Americans, me say, or as they call themselves, Buddha heads. All kinds of Buddha heads, Lieutenant. From Hawaii, Alaska, California, New York, Colorado. Yes. And even some from Texas.

[00:04:26]They're all American citizens and they're all volunteers. Remember that.

[00:04:30]And another thing, we officers are referred to as Howlies, not white men.

[00:04:35]Any questions?

[00:04:36]>> No, sir.

[00:04:38]Report to your company commander.

[00:04:40]Sergeant Major will show you his orderly room. That'll be all, Lieutenant.

[00:05:04]Sorry to keep you waiting, Lieutenant.

[00:05:06]Captain Solari.

[00:05:07]>> That's right.

[00:05:08]>> That's our regimental slogan. Go for broke. Speaking English for shoot the works. Pull up chair. Lieutenant.

[00:05:16]>> I'll be with you in a minute.

[00:05:22]>> Tell me, sir, do you use live ammunition in the rifle range?

[00:05:26]The Jap's a Jaff, eh?

[00:05:29]>> All I know is they were put under armed guard and relocation centers last year.

[00:05:33]Maybe the army just had some surplus barbed wire they wanted to use up. Was that it?

[00:05:38]>> The army was facing an emergency at the start of the war. A possible invasion by Japanese troops. So all Japanese Americans were evacuated from the West Coast. There was no loyalty check, no screening, nothing. If there were any spies among them, I can assure you they're not in the 442. Every man in this outfit has been investigated, reinvestigated, and re-reinvestigated.

[00:06:00]Now, I suggest you start getting acquainted. Your platoon sergeant's over in the supply room. O'Hara. O'Hara.

[00:06:07]>> That's right. Tekashi O'Hara.

[00:06:23]Hey, wait a minute.

[00:06:26]Come back here.

[00:06:29]>> How long you been in the army, soldier?

[00:06:32]>> Let me see now. Maybe I've been inside uh 2 3 months. How long you been inside, Lieutenant?

[00:06:38]>> But you know, you're supposed to hold your salute till an officer returns it.

[00:06:42]>> Oh, sure. Sometime forget.

[00:06:44]>> Sometimes forget to say sir, too, don't you? sometime.

[00:06:48]>> Well, don't forget it anymore.

[00:06:50]>> No, sir.

[00:06:53]>> That's your own uniform, >> sir. That's the smallest size he got.

[00:06:56]The supply sergeant. Sir, >> well, roll those sleeves down.

[00:07:02]>> I hold salute, sir.

[00:07:07]>> Why are you wearing leggings with a class A uniform?

[00:07:10]>> To keep my pants up, sir. Long like that.

[00:07:15]>> Well, get them cut down. Oh, yes sir.

[00:07:19]Sir, >> you better see somebody today before I see you again.

[00:07:28]>> All right, man. All I want to see is backbones and elbow.

[00:07:38]>> Come on, folks.

[00:07:40]>> And he made it. Little Phoebe. Pretty little Phoebe.

[00:07:45]Watch that stuff, huh? Get your money down, suckers. It all rides. Go for it, bro. Hey, >> break them up. Break them up. New outside. Must be the one for us. Oh, boy. 8 ft tall and mean like anything.

[00:07:59]Number one, manini guy. Chicken.

[00:08:02]>> Well, the honeymoon's over.

[00:08:05]>> Mix me up. Only say outfit. How come how officers?

[00:08:08]>> That's just to make us a little more miserable. First, they pick out the crummiest camp in the United States.

[00:08:13]Why'd you ever enlist? That's what I want to know.

[00:08:16]>> Why? Because a wise guy, college man like you snowed me under with a lot of fancy talk. You guys from relocation centers. Okay, you probably got it better here. But me, I was on the outside. Iowa, a free man knocking off 500 bucks a month. 500 buck? No. 500 buck? Yeah. Chick sexing. I can look at a dale chick and tell you if it's a he or a she. Now, who would want to know that except another chick?

[00:08:45]>> You pay for the poultry feed and you'd want to know. He ain't no good at all when it grows up. Only the she.

[00:08:51]>> How come chicken farmers know can find out themselves? Too bashful?

[00:08:55]>> You funny man. Chick sexing is a science. It was developed in Japan and it's one field where Buddhahead gets a break. Mean to say you never heard of it.

[00:09:05]>> I just got as far as the birds and the bees.

[00:09:08]>> These college guys are sharp. You know that?

[00:09:12]four years at USC and he's a bonafideed recognized fruit peddler. Yes, sir. A fruit peddler with an architect's degree.

[00:09:21]>> I could have got a job as an architect if I kept trying.

[00:09:23]>> Well, why didn't you?

[00:09:26]>> It's just my eyes. Couldn't handle all that close work.

[00:09:29]>> Yeah, eye trouble. That's what it was.

[00:09:32]All you need is corrective glasses to take the slant out of your eyes. Ah, >> chick.

[00:09:38]Hey, Katon. Take it easy. Huh? Hot chick.

[00:09:43]>> Come on. Get it done. Buck and a half.

[00:09:45]One more. One more.

[00:09:46]>> Boy. Oh boy. You are a lucky clip.

[00:09:50]>> I got packages like that.

[00:09:52]>> You and me both.

[00:09:54]>> You sent package.

[00:09:55]>> Yeah. Hand me those cans, will you?

[00:09:58]>> What you going to send, brother? I know.

[00:10:00]I'm in Pacific.

[00:10:01]>> Uh-uh. Family in a relocation camp in Arizona. Arizona, USA. You think that y'all here is bad, brother?

[00:10:10]You can even get sold.

[00:10:11]>> Oh, sure. They've got a canteen loaded with stuff. Anything you want if you can get there before they're sold out.

[00:10:17]>> Yes, sir. All the comforts of home.

[00:10:20]>> Only one block from the barracks to the toilets and showers.

[00:10:24]>> Barracks?

[00:10:26]>> Everybody all drowned together?

[00:10:28]>> Got partitions. Separate room for each family. My folks are lucky. Only five of them since I left.

[00:10:35]>> Treat you like that? Hard to figure why a guy volunteered for the army.

[00:10:40]>> We have to do something so we never get a deal like that again.

[00:10:43]>> We sure we sure must put ahead good soldiers, good Americans.

[00:10:47]>> That's the idea. I hope it works.

[00:10:50]>> Surely it works. I read a lot of stuff in newspapers about the 442.

[00:10:55]>> Yeah. All we need now is casualty lists.

[00:11:01]>> Gee, that's a pretty girl. What a name.

[00:11:05]Terry.

[00:11:06]>> Terry.

[00:11:07]>> Nice name.

[00:11:08]>> Your wife?

[00:11:09]>> Not yet.

[00:11:11]>> Who you with?

[00:11:12]>> This is a great time to be starting a family, isn't it?

[00:11:15]>> You could spawn guys. Boy, if I had a girl like that, you got to draft me. No volunteer. No, sir. Draft me and drag me away.

[00:11:27]>> Okay. Once more. Go for broke. Once more. That's all I ask.

[00:11:30]>> Natural seven. Let me see those dice here. Huh?

[00:12:00]At ease.

[00:12:01]>> Men, this is Lieutenant Grayson, our platoon leader.

[00:12:04]Pick up that money. Pick it up.

[00:12:07]>> Yes, sir.

[00:12:08]>> Donation for the company fund, Sergeant.

[00:12:10]Give it to Sergeant O'Hara.

[00:12:14]>> Can he do that?

[00:12:15]>> It's my money.

[00:12:16]>> I want that man's name, Sergeant.

[00:12:18]There's no talking after the command at ease.

[00:12:19]>> Yes, sir.

[00:12:20]>> This man, no dog tags. Needs haircut.

[00:12:22]Window unwashed. Uniforms hanging wrong way. Haircut. Shave. Bunk out of line.

[00:12:26]Dog tag window. Beer can on shelf. Dirty floor. Dirty boots. Haircut window. Bowl of milk on floor.

[00:12:33]Bowls stolen from mesh hall. Broad cat barracks. Floor boots. Dog tag. Haircut.

[00:12:38]Dust on rafters. Window. Haircut. Dog tags. Boots. Bunk out of line. Litter on floor boots.

[00:12:46]Forget the book, Sergeant. They're all on the list. You men will fall out for a speed hike at 8:00 tonight. Before that, I want this hutman geyed. Get them started on it right away. Sergeant. Blow scrubbed, raptors dusted, windows washed, boots shined, bunks made. I want those blankets stretched so tight that when you drop a quarter on them, it'll bounce. I'll be back twice a day from now on with a pair of white gloves and a quarter.

[00:13:18]>> You're a chicken expert. What do you make of him?

[00:13:25]I want to go back to my little back in.

[00:13:34]I want to be with all the long ago.

[00:13:42]I can hear the old playing.

[00:13:47][ __ ] that.

[00:14:00]What did he say?

[00:14:01]>> I didn't hear anything, sir.

[00:14:03]>> Bakatari. What does that mean?

[00:14:05]>> Sorry, sir. I don't speak Japanese.

[00:14:09]Boot, dog tag, window, dust on rafters, floor, boots.

[00:14:30]Boots. Floor. Boots. Blankets. Not tight enough. Shirt unbutton. Boots. Window.

[00:14:36]Floor.

[00:14:53]All right, up and over. Come back and try it again. Going to wait right here till everybody makes it.

[00:15:38]Hey, YOU GUYS BEAT IT QUICK.

[00:15:47]In combat, anything goes. That's why we teach you dirty tactics. I will now demonstrate a grip against which there is absolutely no defense.

[00:15:58]The sergeant will now try to get free.

[00:16:02]>> Well, Sergeant, >> you want me to try, sir?

[00:16:05]>> Of course I want you to try.

[00:16:07]>> Farewell, sir.

[00:16:29]I Hey, wait.

[00:16:46]Hey, hey, hey.

[00:17:07]Hey, fight.

[00:17:12]Ready. Fight.

[00:17:26]That was a kiss of death, brother. A kiss of death.

[00:17:29]>> Yeah, the big brass figures were ripe. I can smell that salt air already.

[00:17:35]>> Take another sniff, will you? And see if it's a Pacific.

[00:17:38]>> Yeah, that's what I'm sweating out.

[00:17:40]>> You and me both.

[00:17:44]>> Nobody want to go Pacific but me. Well, I keep trying. Every time they ask for volunteers.

[00:17:50]>> Hey, you have to speak perfect Japanese.

[00:17:52]It's for combat intelligence interpreters. They don't want booty head riflemen in the Pacific.

[00:17:57]>> Why?

[00:17:58]>> Look, Tommy, a million guys fighting an enemy that looks like us. What if a GI sniper spots you or me?

[00:18:04]>> He's a uniform.

[00:18:06]>> Yeah. And probably figure we're spies.

[00:18:09]>> Sam, I tell you something. I don't like talk about it, but I going to tell you how plain they come.

[00:18:18]You can only read it. I can see it.

[00:18:22]Pretty soon I'll go volunteer for the 100 battalion. Too young.

[00:18:27]When the 442 come up, I volunteer again.

[00:18:31]Too small. Next time I stand on my toes a little bit. Okay, I'm in.

[00:18:38]This ain't Europe. Sure. I going to fight.

[00:18:41]No better do I fight the ones who bomb the island.

[00:18:44]>> It's the same enemy, Tommy. Maybe for you.

[00:18:47]Pearl Harbor day. Two people visit friends near Honolulu.

[00:18:54]They both been killed.

[00:18:57]>> My mother sir.

[00:19:00]My father.

[00:19:07]>> HEY MY BROTHER IN 100 BATTALION.

[00:19:13]Come on, hurry up.

[00:19:14]>> You go. No man for >> Come on, hurry up.

[00:19:52]Come on. Close it up. Close it up.

[00:19:58]>> Here's the list. Lieutenant.

[00:19:59]>> Thanks, Captain Nagashak. Shooki.

[00:20:03]>> William J.

[00:20:03]>> Nish Goka.

[00:20:04]>> Leonard S.

[00:20:09]Harry >> Josephine Kamakura >> MWi Zaki >> Satoshi >> Shimabukurro Tenugi >> Shim Shimabuki >> Shima George W.

[00:20:28]>> Thanks Fujioto >> Thomas H.

[00:20:49]any scuttlep where the scar has taken us.

[00:20:51]>> I was just going to ask you, Lieutenant.

[00:21:07]I'm sending my thoughts back home to you.

[00:21:16]>> Hey Sam, how you not so sure we're going to England?

[00:21:19]>> Because that's where the line points for the invasion of France and it's coming off any day now.

[00:21:23]>> That's us. Shock troops just in time.

[00:21:25]They used up the 100 battalion at Casino.

[00:21:28]>> But anyway, it won't be the Pacific. How do you know? You ever hear of the Panama Canal?

[00:21:32]>> Hey, Sam. What you think? Maybe. So, huh?

[00:21:34]>> Well, if it's the Pacific, we've been sailing 3 days in the wrong direction.

[00:21:37]>> The navigator don't know. Nobody knows.

[00:21:40]Drive your nuts.

[00:21:46]>> Oh, I'll get it.

[00:21:47]>> Thank you, Lieutenant.

[00:22:12]For 20 years, the Italian people have been fed on bunk. Their propagandists declared that all of our people look upon Italians with contempt, regarding them as a race of hand organ men and banana peddlers. We know that such statements are lies. Racial prejudice is abhorentt to our American concept of democracy.

[00:22:42]Naples with its old world history, majestic Vulius, the castle of St. Elmo, the famous churches, the magnificent harbor second to none in all the world.

[00:22:54]These and many other historic sites are of interest to the soldier. Take advantage of this opportunity. See as much as you can. You've got a great chance to do now. major expenses paid what would cost you a lot of your own money after the war.

[00:23:09]You'll want to poke around in quaint out of the way places and the only way to do that is to walk. Be sure to allow plenty of time in Naples so you can take it all in at a nice leisurely pace. Start your prominade at the harbor.

[00:23:24]The Italian practice is to have a siesta hour sometime between 1 and 4:00 in the afternoon. If this custom remains in vogue during occupational period, you will save time and patience by confining your shopping to other hours.

[00:24:06]Come on. Come on. Don't >> Let's go. Off your feet and on your feet.

[00:24:21]>> Continuing our tour of picturesque Italy, we come to the Via Castelina, which leads directly to Rome.

[00:24:28]The districts around Rome are full of places of historical interest and transportation is excellent.

[00:24:42]>> Take a break.

[00:24:43]>> Take 10.

[00:24:56]Everybody rides but the pudding.

[00:25:11]HEY.

[00:25:12]HI. YOUR PINE. My brother. You okay? Not even a scratch. He's a few trucks back.

[00:25:19]Hey, haven't got an extra top string, have you?

[00:25:22]>> I don't think so. WHERE YOU GOING?

[00:25:24]>> SAME PLACE AS YOU, PAISAN. Haven't you heard? We've been ATTACHED TO THE 442.

[00:25:28]One big happy family.

[00:25:29]>> Oh, GET IN RIGHT HERE. TOP STREET.

[00:25:34]>> [ __ ] it.

[00:25:35]>> What was that?

[00:25:37]>> I said very sorry. Sorry, sir.

[00:25:48]Within easy reach of Rome are the medieval towns of Tuskanyany. Sleepy little villages scarcely touched by the march of civilization.

[00:26:02]>> Take 10.

[00:26:25]Hello, John.

[00:26:41]No, but I'd like to learn.

[00:26:46]>> The door open.

[00:26:49]>> The door. The door.

[00:26:50]>> It's open. Lieutenant.

[00:26:54]>> Graciena.

[00:27:01]The lady's going to mend this for me.

[00:27:03]Call me when the word comes down to move out.

[00:27:04]>> Yes, sir. The eyes of taxes are upon you.

[00:27:15]>> You know, I got a hunch we're coming into a bottle of veno.

[00:27:19]>> Maybe.

[00:27:20]>> Yeah. I just got a feeling the lieutenant is going to take care of us.

[00:27:49]Gracia.

[00:27:51]>> Breaks over.

[00:27:53]>> Let's go.

[00:27:55]>> All right. On your feet.

[00:28:24]Lieutenant Grayson, I forgot to tell him we're moving Holy mackerel.

[00:28:28]>> What did I do?

[00:28:29]>> Close it up.

[00:29:04]salute.

[00:29:21]Oh, >> come again.

[00:29:26]>> Ammo friend.

[00:29:28]>> No, I don't know. I'm your friend. Huh?

[00:29:31]>> Seem John Smith.

[00:29:37]>> Glad to meet you, sir.

[00:29:45]Lady John Smith.

[00:29:55]>> Don't tell me why you got that good conduct riven. Let me guess.

[00:30:01]>> How about some of huh, >> darling?

[00:30:14]That's my old outfit. Where did you get this? Who gave it to you?

[00:30:17]>> John's me.

[00:30:18]>> John Smith, huh? Is he still around here? When did you see him last?

[00:30:21]>> Because of you, >> oh, I got to find someone. You've been talking English. I'll be right back.

[00:30:31]>> Joel. Joel.

[00:30:42]Grayson, your platoon's dug in over there. Come here a minute, will you?

[00:30:48]>> I've got a message for you from the colonel. He was up here inspecting our positions.

[00:30:52]>> The colonel?

[00:30:53]>> That's right. He said to tell you he was particularly pleased with the way your platoon was deployed.

[00:30:59]>> Thanks for covering up.

[00:31:00]>> And now I'm supposed to say you're welcome. And that's that. Until the next time, huh? There won't be any next time.

[00:31:05]Don't worry about that.

[00:31:07]>> I'll tell you when to leave.

[00:31:09]>> You're such a stickler on military courtesy for your men. From now on, you and I are going by the book. Understand?

[00:31:15]>> Yes, sir.

[00:31:16]>> I don't mind telling you, Grayson. If there was any chance of getting a replacement for you, I'd have had you court marshaled for this. Ever since you joined the outfit, you've been the one man in this company who's been out of step.

[00:31:26]>> You'd better pick it up, Lieutenant. And pick it up fast, or you're going to find yourself volunteering for every dirty detail that comes up. Is that clear?

[00:31:34]>> Yes, sir. That'll be all.

[00:31:45]>> Did you do a good job, Lieutenant?

[00:32:01]Where's Kamakura?

[00:32:02]>> Sam out looking for water, Lieutenant.

[00:32:04]How do you like that? Dying of thirst in the middle of a river.

[00:32:07]>> I want to see him the minute he gets back.

[00:32:08]>> Yes, sir.

[00:32:23]His maso fresh off the vine.

[00:32:39]Good sona.

[00:32:42]Mahalo.

[00:32:45]>> Free sample.

[00:32:46]>> THANKS.

[00:32:53]>> EDDIE, EDDIE, YOU STAY HERE, TOMMY.

[00:32:56]Watch out. Come on. KEEP CLOSE TO THE WALL.

[00:33:07]STAY HERE ONE AT A TIME.

[00:33:30]Keep up the heat.

[00:33:50]Let's go.

[00:34:26]CLEAR.

[00:34:44]Anybody home?

[00:35:08]Give me cover.

[00:35:34]You okay, Masami?

[00:35:35]>> Just a scratch.

[00:35:48]Jerry intelligence officer. They're great at disguises.

[00:35:52]High up, huh?

[00:36:14]shells would be coming in a lot closer if those Jerry's were still in that observation post. One of them was an officer, you say?

[00:36:21]>> Oh, yes, Colonel. H.

[00:36:24]>> And you certainly earned that. Take us over to S2, Sergeant.

[00:36:27]>> Yes, sir.

[00:36:30]>> Too bad about that 100th battalion, man.

[00:36:33]What' they say? the aid station about the other one that was wounded.

[00:36:35]>> Million-dollar wound, sir. They're sending him back to Rome.

[00:36:37]>> Good. Well, anytime you're in the neighborhood, drop in.

[00:36:40]>> Thank you, sir.

[00:36:41]>> I mean that. I want to keep in close touch with your man of the line. They've been treating you all right?

[00:36:46]>> Yes, sir.

[00:36:46]>> You sure now? No complaints.

[00:36:51]>> No, sir.

[00:36:52]>> Well, good luck to you, >> sir. Could I have a word with you?

[00:36:59]>> Of course. At ease, Lieutenant. You remember, sir, that I told you I came from the 36th division.

[00:37:04]>> Remember it very well?

[00:37:06]>> Well, sir, I just happened to hear that the 36 is somewhere in this area.

[00:37:10]>> Was Lieutenant, they're way up ahead of us now.

[00:37:12]>> Oh. Oh, well, in that case, >> still like to get back in the Texas Army, eh?

[00:37:16]>> Oh, no, sir. I was just hoping I get a chance to visit them.

[00:37:19]>> Well, I'll do better than that. If we ever meet up with the 36, I'll try and work out a transfer.

[00:37:23]>> Oh, thank you very much, sir.

[00:37:25]>> Not at all. It'll be a pleasure. That'll be all, Lieutenant.

[00:37:37]It's all right. By son, maybe you know me scared, too. Huh?

[00:37:44]>> Give the man a nice feeling knowing you can always go to the old man if you're not getting a fair shake. Huh, Lieutenant? Do I feel bad about forgetting to call you before we moved out of that town this afternoon? You see, the way it happened.

[00:37:55]>> Forget it. Forget it.

[00:37:56]>> I can't. It was all my fault. And he might have had you up for desertion.

[00:38:00]Well, he'll never get out. The men will keep it quiet. I'll see that, sir.

[00:38:04]>> Thanks. Thanks.

[00:38:24]SQUAD leaders up front.

[00:38:36]>> Squad leaders up front. Squad leaders up front. Squad leaders up front.

[00:38:43]>> Squad leaders up front.

[00:38:44]>> Squad leaders up front.

[00:38:47]>> You can run this battalion.

[00:38:48]>> Yeah.

[00:38:49]>> What happens when men gets hit? Come on.

[00:38:53]Sometimes they yell.

[00:39:02]Sometimes they don't. Squad leaders don't last long.

[00:39:05]>> I mean, the medics, how do they GET TO YOU? MEDICS. MEDICS.

[00:39:09]>> GET ON the other side of the road. Hit it.

[00:39:12]>> Let's go, boy.

[00:39:18]Squad leaders up front. Squad leaders up front. Squad leaders up front. Squad leaders up front. Squad leaders up front. Squad leaders up front. Squad leaders up front. Squad leaders up front. What are you waiting for, Sergeant?

[00:39:38]I forgot.

[00:39:43]Heat.

[00:40:04]Heat.

[00:40:59]Hey, you better move, Sam. Maybe you going to shake.

[00:41:03]>> Have a good time, Frank.

[00:41:05]>> How can I miss Rome? The greatest architecture in the world.

[00:41:09]>> 24-hour passes. Big hearted ain't they?

[00:41:12]>> I'm going to see a lot of things in the next 24 hours I've dreamed about all my life. The forum, St. Peters, the Pantene, >> any other outfit. I bet they get three day passes.

[00:41:23]>> Yeah. Not just one man at a time either.

[00:41:25]>> Yeah. Chick.

[00:41:28]>> Relax.

[00:41:30]>> That reminds me, Tommy. I hear we're having chicken for dinner.

[00:41:33]>> No joke.

[00:41:33]>> Yeah, I was talking to one of the cooks.

[00:41:35]Fried chicken. Good boy. That's what I like best.

[00:41:38]>> Not me. You know what I like best?

[00:41:41]Barbecued pork. Yes, sir. There's nothing like barbecued pork. Especially the way I make it.

[00:42:11]Piano cap.

[00:42:35]You know for sale >> not for nothing.

[00:42:46]Come ongoing.

[00:42:52]>> Hungry hungry.

[00:42:54]>> Okay.

[00:42:57]Know it know it.

[00:42:58]>> Oh no. No papa. Mama.

[00:43:20]We wait.

[00:43:27]nine bottles. 10.

[00:43:29]>> No.

[00:43:34]>> Hey, what I got >> cookies.

[00:43:38]>> Hey, help me stop on too.

[00:43:41]>> He don't like cookies.

[00:43:43]>> Maybe bambinos. Eh, >> sure. Go ahead.

[00:43:51]>> Who that from? Sam, you >> Terry? Hey, remember that time we took Subetto? It was on a news broadcast coast to coast and I mentioned 442.

[00:43:59]>> No kidding.

[00:44:00]>> I'm telling you. And there've been newspaper stories. Lots of them. The hundth getting the presidential citation from General Mark Clark 140.

[00:44:08]Let me see that.

[00:44:14]>> Oh, you like that? They're going to let your kid brother leave relocation camp and work on a farm. Next month you going to pick Sugar Ball.

[00:44:21]>> Well, what do you know? He's been trying to swing that deal for months.

[00:44:25]>> Good boy.

[00:44:26]All okay. Nobody's sick.

[00:44:30]>> Oh. Oh. Excuse Sam.

[00:44:32]>> That's okay. I'll read the rest to you.

[00:44:38]>> Honestly, Sam, you'd hardly recognize the old homestead. Maybe it looks the same. The barracks, the barb wire, the amps, but it isn't the same anymore.

[00:44:47]Nothing's the same because everybody knows what the 442 is doing. And what means most to me is a change in the kids in my class. She teaches in cam school.

[00:44:55]>> I know. I know. First grade.

[00:44:56]>> They were just sad little people. Never laughed. Never made a sound. Today, I'm happy to say I have as noisy a classroom as you'll find in America.

[00:45:05]>> More better now. Echo.

[00:45:07]>> Looks that way. Can I go plenty better now?

[00:45:11]I miss you so very much, my darling. I can't find words to tell you how dear you are to me.

[00:45:43]How was it? How much more? I see you tomorrow. I GOT TO GO to the city and pick up my test.

[00:46:09]Just want to let you know we're back, sir.

[00:46:11]>> Good.

[00:46:13]>> You're just in time.

[00:46:14]>> Oh, thanks, >> Sergeant. Have the driver report to the motorpool, will you?

[00:46:18]>> Yes, sir. He's got a full tank, sir. All set to go to the next batch.

[00:46:21]>> I was all set to go, too.

[00:46:24]Change of orders. We're going back on the line.

[00:46:28]That's kind of rough. Somebody was telling me your folks came from Rome. A >> little town near there. Oh well, I'll get to see it someday. I'm >> sure you will.

[00:46:37]>> Hey, we met up with some of your folks while you were gone. Your old outfit.

[00:46:40]>> The 36th.

[00:46:41]>> They passed us on their way back. The Texas Wonders had all they could take, so they called him a 442.

[00:46:45]>> Where'd they go?

[00:46:46]>> The word is they're being moved to another theater of operations.

[00:46:50]>> Is that straight?

[00:46:51]>> Looks like you're stuck with us for the rest of the war.

[00:46:56]guy gets into fight that Japs and winds up fighting with him. It's a hot one when you come to think of it.

[00:47:01]>> Oh, I don't know. A lot of us had parents who were born in enemy countries. Italianame Americans, German Americans.

[00:47:08]>> That's different, sir. And you know it.

[00:47:10]>> Why?

[00:47:12]>> Well, it's just >> the shape of their eyes or is it the color of their skin?

[00:47:21]>> Tell the truth, sir. Wouldn't you rather be with some other outfit?

[00:47:25]>> If I knew of a better outfit, but I don't.

[00:47:31]>> Will that be all, sir?

[00:47:32]>> You don't have to be so formal.

[00:47:34]>> It was your idea to go by the book.

[00:47:36]>> That was a long time ago.

[00:47:38]>> I'll see you later.

[00:47:46]>> How was it, Lieutenant?

[00:47:47]>> Great.

[00:47:58]I hope the supply sergeant takes good care of your pig. Yep. I sure hope he feeds him good so he'll be nice and fat when we get back off the line.

[00:48:10]>> Hey, Frank, look. Look at that. Must be an old Roman villa.

[00:48:14]>> Yeah, you can tell it's Roman by those columns.

[00:48:27]Rubble from another war, huh?

[00:48:29]>> It's hard to believe. Over 2,000 years old.

[00:48:32]>> The battles that must have been fought around here. Napoleon, Charlemagne, Caesar, Alexander the Great, all the way back to biblical times.

[00:48:38]>> Well, better we fight like biblical times. I read in the Bible, your army picked number one man. Enemy picked number one man. Mumbai, big fight. Two men, one killed. War over.

[00:48:50]>> I nominated Lieutenant Grayson for our side.

[00:48:53]>> No, I wouldn't know who to root for.

[00:49:03]>> It's some kind of headquarters. All right. And it looks like they're getting ready to pull out.

[00:49:09]>> Yeah. With all their maps and records and one machine guns holding us back.

[00:49:21]A little more to the right. 30 yards.

[00:49:25]>> Any more? Be right back.

[00:49:26]>> 30 yards to the right. Can you hear me?

[00:49:28]>> Yeah. How's this?

[00:49:36]>> Come on. Let's take a walk.

[00:49:38]>> Hey, you over there.

[00:49:45]Not you.

[00:49:53]You take over. O'Hara.

[00:50:13]Get on the mountain.

[00:50:46]Take fun here. ZACK.

[00:51:00]Keep firing that motor. Keep it going.

[00:51:11]Where's that water?

[00:51:32]I don't think these columns will be here for the next floor.

[00:51:36]>> HOW ABOUT THAT MOTOR? RUN AWAY. I got to move it.

[00:51:57]>> HURRY UP WITH THAT WATER.

[00:51:59]>> OKAY. OKAY.

[00:52:07]Move the gun. RIGHT. 50 YARDS. RIGHT.

[00:52:18]>> SURE. SURE. GIVE IT ANOTHER 50 YARD.

[00:52:27]Now over TO THE LEFT JUST A LITTLE.

[00:53:01]OFF.

[00:53:09]HOLD IT. HOLD IT. CEASE FIRE. LET'S GO.

[00:53:53]WHAT? What kind of troops are these?

[00:53:55]Chinese?

[00:53:56]>> Japanese? Didn't Hitler tell you Japan surrendered and they're fighting on our side now?

[00:54:19]>> Well, it beats walking. Maybe walking through Italy wasn't so bad. Didn't you get the latest latrinogram? We're shipping out.

[00:54:27]>> Shipping out.

[00:54:29]>> And so we take leave of sunny Italy and sail the seven seas to to where?

[00:54:35]>> My guess is the Pacific.

[00:54:36]>> You really think so, Lieutenant?

[00:54:38]>> Yeah, but don't worry about it. I haven't guessed right once since I've been in the army.

[00:54:50]Watch that stuff.

[00:55:05]>> Tommy.

[00:55:09]>> Oh, hello, Lieutenant.

[00:55:10]>> I told you to go easy on that leg.

[00:55:12]>> Plenty okay now, Lieutenant.

[00:55:13]>> Well, what did you leave the hospital for? I've been staying lieutenant 3 weeks. Long time, sir.

[00:55:20]>> Don't you realize officially you're awall. I don't know whether to put you in for a silver star or have you caught Marshall.

[00:55:26]>> Got to leave hospital, sir. Big room on 442 going Pacific. We plan Zach get left behind. Huh? Sir, maybe we still going to fight Japan. You think so? Evie?

[00:55:38]>> No, Tommy. It's definitely France.

[00:55:44]>> Bad cop. If I catch him in a hospital, more better now. See you. Good.

[00:55:50]>> Well, goodbye, Lieutenant.

[00:55:54]>> Goodbye, Tommy.

[00:56:00]You are about to play a personal part in pushing the Germans out of France.

[00:56:05]Just west of the Riviera district in southern France lies the port of Marseilles.

[00:56:10]You will be fortunate indeed if you are stationed in this fascinating city.

[00:56:14]However, the chances are you will be located in the provinces. Rooms with private bath are still deluxe in provincial towns, and you won't always have steam heat. But there are many compensations. For instance, your breakfast will be brought to your bedroom without extra charge.

[00:56:42]First class on French trains ranks with our extra fair trains. Second ranks with our parlor car. And third class is like our ordinary day coach. If French coaches are less comfortable than ours, remember that they are also less expensive.

[00:56:59]It all evens up.

[00:57:01]>> Who's got the time?

[00:57:03]>> 220, sir.

[00:57:04]>> Thanks. Who do you think I ought to see about it, sir?

[00:57:07]>> S1 personnel. They assigned the new replacements.

[00:57:11]>> But they're not going to put two brothers in the same platoon.

[00:57:14]>> My kid brothers got away with them, sir.

[00:57:16]And it's just liable to talk them into it.

[00:57:18]>> Bad enough being in the same regiment with the same platoon.

[00:57:22]>> Yeah, I did for my folks to get two telegrams for the war department on the same day.

[00:57:30]>> Where are you going?

[00:57:31]>> Think I'll ride with my platoon, sir.

[00:57:32]>> Kind of overdoing the air business, Lieutenant. I keep forgetting. And here I've been an officer for 2 hours and 20 minutes. How you doing, Grayson?

[00:57:50]>> Hey Sam, you think Terry okay?

[00:57:52]>> Sure. It was just a little cold.

[00:57:53]>> I feel more better when that mail catch up. Long time it'll get made.

[00:57:57]>> I wonder how my brother's making out.

[00:57:59]>> Me too. I guess he work on a sugar beat farm already through three weeks.

[00:58:04]Hey Ohio, we want a >> write your congressman.

[00:58:11]>> How's your work? Carry on, man.

[00:58:13]>> How do you like that? Do they give a commission to one of us? Who the heads?

[00:58:16]>> No, they give it to the mech.

[00:58:17]>> Ohara, the fighting Irishman.

[00:58:19]>> Fair. Then you can say that again. Now get along with your bling. I've got something to tell you.

[00:58:24]>> That is that is having a little military courtesy.

[00:58:27]>> Yes, sir.

[00:58:29]>> I uh haven't been assigned yet, but it looks like I'll be taking over another platoon. I probably won't be seeing much of you guys. Just wanted to say well so long.

[00:58:42]>> He going to make good platoon leader.

[00:58:44]>> Yeah, well he last. He's welcome to them bars.

[00:58:53]>> Sam, look at those buildings. 17th century. I'm looking at that bakery.

[00:59:01]>> Go ahead, Tommy. I'll keep an eye on the thing.

[00:59:08]>> Stick close to the train, you guys. I'm tired of rounding up stragglers.

[00:59:17]>> What did he say?

[00:59:18]>> That's Japanese for for Thank you.

[00:59:20]They're very polite.

[00:59:32]upon you. You cannot get away at night.

[00:59:48]>> Pardon me. Pardon me. Pardon me.

[00:59:52]>> When did you learn that song?

[00:59:54]>> When?

[00:59:54]>> That's right. When did you learn it?

[00:59:56]>> Then what? So the song song the eyes of Texas are upon you.

[01:00:00]>> A room is off.

[01:00:04]>> NO NO NO. WHEN YOU LEARN song >> ah last week soldier >> 36 division >> I think so. Big T.

[01:00:14]>> Are they still here?

[01:00:15]>> No party yesterday.

[01:00:35]Well, well, the ambassador from Texas.

[01:00:36]>> Good afternoon, sir.

[01:00:38]>> You know, Lieutenant, I had you down as a determined man, but I didn't think you had enough drag to get the whole darn outfit transferred to the 36th.

[01:00:44]>> Transferred?

[01:00:45]>> That's right, Lieutenant. We've been attached to the 36th Division. I guess that makes us honorary Texans.

[01:00:52]W fan marrow. Keep an eye out for kettle rusters, partner.

[01:00:57]>> Well, what do you know about that?

[01:00:59]>> I thought you'd be pleased, Lieutenant.

[01:01:02]>> This is the man we've been looking for, major. One of the new comeback commission can replace him.

[01:01:05]>> Oh, there's one in his platoon, sir.

[01:01:06]>> Oh, >> good. He can take over.

[01:01:08]>> Take over my platoon, sir?

[01:01:10]>> We've had a request for a leazison officer to work out at 36 headquarters.

[01:01:14]Someone who can get along with them and knows the 442 thoroughly.

[01:01:16]>> But, sir, I've always been on the line.

[01:01:18]Do you think I have the qualifications for a headquarters job? I think you'll make good when a man wants anything as badly as you've wanted this.

[01:01:24]>> But sir, I don't want this. Remember I told you I just wanted to visit them.

[01:01:28]I've got a lot of friends in the 36th.

[01:01:30]>> None of them at headquarters, I take it.

[01:01:32]Sorry I couldn't arrange to have you sent back to your own platoon.

[01:01:34]>> Colonel Pence, >> your orders will be issued immediately.

[01:01:46]All aboard Texas special forward GALLON HOUSTON ALL POINTS OUT. Yeah man.

[01:01:58]>> Oh no.

[01:02:00]>> Don't forget don't forget the right honey.

[01:02:14]How do you like that Texas artillery, strangers?

[01:02:17]>> Danger? Me and I'm from Texas myself.

[01:02:19]Well, pull up a chair and have a mint Julie.

[01:02:22]>> That's Mart and Neil, friend. But we're heading back towards town. Another pos going to stall us for a bit.

[01:02:29]>> Tommy sure to get back to that town we left Pis on.

[01:02:32]>> Ain't love wonderful.

[01:02:35]>> Howdy, stranger. Aloha.

[01:02:44]There's only one thing I don't like about these buddy heads. They don't dig them long enough.

[01:03:08]Hello my friend. He's here. The little pyan is here.

[01:03:15]>> Pyon. Hello Pyan. You're looking good boy. You're looking wonderful Pyon. Come on Pyan. You beautiful Pyon.

[01:03:28]>> Nice pig. He miss you much.

[01:03:30]>> I miss him too. Oh, thanks for taking care of him. Thanks a lot.

[01:03:36]>> Thank you. You are very kind.

[01:03:39]>> What's the matter? You don't smoke?

[01:03:41]>> Yes, I smoke. I was hoping maybe something to eat for the children.

[01:03:46]Chocolate, crackers, anything. They have so little so little to eat.

[01:03:53]>> I don't have anything to eat. Trade the cigarettes. Two packs. You can get a couple of chickens for that.

[01:03:59]>> Not here. No chickens left. Nothing.

[01:04:03]>> All right, I'll come back later.

[01:04:05]>> I hate to ask.

[01:04:07]>> It won't be much. All we get is Krations.

[01:04:10]>> It will be a feast for them.

[01:04:13]>> I wish I could get something better.

[01:04:19]>> Well, see you later.

[01:04:21]>> Goodbye, my friend.

[01:05:00]Thank you. Thank you very much. How wonderful for the children.

[01:05:05]I won't me.

[01:05:41]the market. The one from Hawaii.

[01:05:43]>> Let's stop a minute. Huh?

[01:05:46]Don't be long.

[01:06:09]out.

[01:06:10]>> GET UP THERE.

[01:06:12]>> COME ON. PULL a little.

[01:06:49]You'd like some >> I can see >> these men. The little ones are really in Japanese.

[01:06:58]>> Hey, shorty. She wants to know if you're Japanese. I guess we can let her in on it, huh?

[01:07:04]>> They're our new secret weapon. Twilight Fighters.

[01:07:08]>> Twilight fighters?

[01:07:09]>> Yeah. The army gives them shots to make them turn yellow. See, they send them out in the evening just as the sun's going down. The enemy can't see him in that light. Get the idea?

[01:07:19]>> The guy's been looking for trouble all night. He makes one more crack.

[01:07:24]>> Hey, sir.

[01:07:24]>> How's the leg?

[01:07:25]>> It's like a fiddle on the >> fella. Say, who's your friend? The one with all the strength. They don't care who they make platoon sergeant anymore.

[01:07:31]>> How about having a refill with us, Lieutenant?

[01:07:32]>> Thanks, Frank. I want to say hello to somebody. My old platoon sergeant. I trained on him. Be right back.

[01:07:38]>> GRAYSON, >> HOW ARE YOU?

[01:07:39]>> LIEUTENANT GRAYSON.

[01:07:40]>> YEAH. HOW ABOUT THAT?

[01:07:41]>> How about a drink? Great.

[01:07:42]>> Great.

[01:07:43]>> Come on. There's room down here.

[01:07:45]>> Good. It would be a buddy over Grayson.

[01:07:48]520. Don't come back for that drink.

[01:07:50]>> Get it up.

[01:07:54]>> Then tell me you really got it made.

[01:07:56]What is this liazison racket? Oh, it varies from a soft snap to an extra soft snap. Thank you.

[01:08:02]>> Tomorrow, I'm moving out with you. How do you like that? Back with the old platoon. You mean I got to take orders from you?

[01:08:08]>> No, I don't mess around with you dog faces. I'll be with the artillery observer. You're getting your artillery from the 442 and he's never worked with them before.

[01:08:16]>> They're sending us up without our own artillery. Just the Japs.

[01:08:22]>> They're a good outfit, Co. Plenty good.

[01:08:24]practically winning the war single-handed from what I hear. Chaps.

[01:08:31]>> Let's get out of here.

[01:08:33]>> Yeah, I could use a little fresh air.

[01:08:40]>> You win, chick.

[01:08:46]>> Japs in a Texas division. Man, oh man.

[01:08:49]Come here, man.

[01:08:54]Collie, >> they're not Japs. Huh?

[01:08:57]>> They're Japanese Americans. Ni, or if you prefer, but heads, but not Japs.

[01:09:02]They don't like it. Neither do I.

[01:09:04]>> What are you, a [ __ ] lover or something?

[01:09:06]>> I said they're not Japs. I'm warning you, Cully.

[01:09:09]>> You're a what?

[01:09:10]>> Warning you, >> Lieutenant. That gold bar looks real sweet on you, but I do believe you're getting a little big for your britches.

[01:09:16]>> I can always take the bar off. Anytime you say.

[01:09:43]Okara, >> keep your pants on.

[01:09:51]>> Come on.

[01:09:54]>> Kamakura.

[01:09:55]>> Oh, here. Here.

[01:09:57]>> Cookie.

[01:10:01]One cookie.

[01:10:06]>> Hey Lou, how you like that? Too set. I GO SEE MY SAMI.

[01:10:10]>> WOOHOO.

[01:10:13]>> Too fast. Sam. Sam. Wy.

[01:10:15]>> Wy. Working as fast as I can. Anything for my brother?

[01:10:18]>> No. Off from relocation center. Sugar report from Terry.

[01:10:26]Dear Sam, I hate to start out a letter this way, but I think it best to get the bad news over with first.

[01:10:31]>> For cold, she don't get better, huh?

[01:10:32]>> No, Terry's okay.

[01:10:34]>> Your mother didn't get sick. Your father, >> it's my brother.

[01:10:37]>> He didn't lose his job on a farm.

[01:10:39]>> Yeah, him and a couple of his buddies. A gang beat him to a pot and said they'd lynch him if they ever came back.

[01:10:43]>> Why' they do that? Why?

[01:10:45]>> Why? Because they've got slan eyes.

[01:10:47]That's a crime in some places. Didn't you know that? How do you like that?

[01:10:50]We're good enough to carry rifles, but we're not good enough to pick sugar beats. Take it easy, Sam.

[01:10:55]>> Sure. Sure. Take it easy. Take it lying down.

[01:10:58]>> Go on, Diddy. Blow. And I've been telling you, suckers. That's what we are. Ch.

[01:11:05]>> Would you like a dental appointment?

[01:11:06]>> Let's go, boy.

[01:11:08]>> Break it up. If you're looking for Scrap, you won't have long to wait.

[01:11:11]We've been alerted. Pull your tents down and get ready to move out.

[01:11:14]>> Pull them down. We just put them up.

[01:11:16]>> The men Lieutenant Grayson moved out with have been surrounded.

[01:11:18]>> The whole battalion.

[01:11:19]>> What's left of him? Grayson's okay so far. Artillery observer got hit and he took over.

[01:11:24]>> Just so the lieutenant is safe. Him and his buddy, his dear old platoon sergeant.

[01:11:32]>> What's up with Sam?

[01:11:34]>> He just got some bad news.

[01:11:35]>> He's not the only one. They're going to send the new replacements up online as soon as they arrive. The batch my kid brothers in 18 years old.

[01:11:59]Medic. Where's the medic? There he is.

[01:12:01]Over here, Joe.

[01:12:05]>> I found a phone.

[01:12:07]>> Thanks, pal.

[01:12:08]>> Give me a slug of lamp, will you?

[01:12:16]HEY, YOU OKAY? COLLIE.

[01:12:29]WHERE'S THAT [ __ ] ARTILLERY? WHERE IS IT?

[01:12:36]>> Wildcat 6, this is Wildcat 2. Fire mission over. Fire mission point.

[01:12:44]Fire mission point Fox Able Easy Baker Mike Charlie and point King Sugar Charlie love able how wildcat 2 this is Wildcat 6 stand by one round smoke on way one round smoke on Okay.

[01:13:20]>> Can't get a thing out of this one, sir.

[01:13:22]>> We got enough from the others. Send them over to division headquarters.

[01:13:39]You got anything?

[01:13:40]>> Yes, sir. Added to what we already know, I can give you a pretty clear picture.

[01:13:44]>> Good.

[01:13:44]>> It's all dense woods. Those roads on the map are just forest trails, and Jerry has roadblocks on all of them. The men are surrounded on three sides by elements of the uh 338th Infantry Division, the 198th Fuseler Battalion, and the 202nd Mountain Battalion to the northeast.

[01:13:59]>> Let me see it on the map, Captain.

[01:14:01]>> Well, starting here, the Germans are duging in a continuous line all the way around to here. There's a gap here and one here that I know of, but they're covered by machine guns with interlocking fire. There's a steep ridge here that dominates this sector. It's almost straight up on both sides and they have a strong force sitting up on top.

[01:14:22]>> How far away from here is the Lost Battalion?

[01:14:24]>> Well, I'd say 1,000 yards. They're just about here.

[01:14:30]>> We'll have troops within striking distance tonight.

[01:14:41]>> All right, O'Hara, this is your spot.

[01:14:43]Good luck.

[01:14:50]Come on, shake a leg, will you?

[01:14:53]>> This don't make sense. Sticking our necks out for guys like that buddy of grace. That sergeant, that's a kind ganged up on your brother.

[01:14:59]>> We get to the lost battalion, that sergeant going to change his mind about us, put our heads planned people already. We changed this, huh?

[01:15:11]Keeps up like Turin writing letters.

[01:15:13]Bumbai, we going to have it. Good. You bet. Yes, sir. Good thing you read me letter. So maybe I'll go get that like chick. It's rough. It's plenty rough, but we know what's it all about. You bet. More better we go for broke. Yes, Sam.

[01:15:25]>> That's about it, Tommy. More better we go for broke.

[01:15:58]Is it bad?

[01:16:00]Million dollar wound.

[01:16:03]Luck the Irish.

[01:16:15]Medics.

[01:16:17]Medics.

[01:16:18]Medics.

[01:16:36]Let's go.

[01:16:48]I'm glad you have someone to lean on. I don't seem to recognize you. Have you been back to any of the services?

[01:16:54]>> No, father. I'm not Catholic.

[01:16:58]>> You're not?

[01:17:00]>> Different kind of rosary.

[01:17:03]I'm Buddhist, father.

[01:17:07]I'll be here if you want me.

[01:17:46]They're going to try to make contact.

[01:17:50]Piper Cup's calling the shots for artillery.

[01:17:56]They're trying to shoot us in some rations.

[01:17:59]That'll be a big help. Sukiyaki and Rice.

[01:18:02]I could use another man.

[01:18:12]The Piper Cub pilot says there's at least a hundred of them on this ridge.

[01:18:15]They'll be shooting right down our throats. We try to come up from either side. Our engineers have been cutting through a road on top of the ridge so we can bring up a tank. And they're about here now. Once that tank gets within range.

[01:18:25]>> When will that be?

[01:18:26]>> It's hard to say, sir. Slow going. Mine feels all over the place.

[01:18:30]>> Tell division headquarters I'm on my way back, will you?

[01:18:37]>> The jars have been tapping a wire, sir.

[01:18:39]Some of them speak perfect English.

[01:18:44]Wildat 3. Wildat 3. Sergeant speaking.

[01:18:52]Wildat 3. This is Wildat 4. Come in.

[01:18:54]Wildat 3.

[01:18:57]Wildcat 3. Wild cat 3. Sergeant Yugamoto speaking. Wild cat. Wild cat. Sergeant Yugamoto speaking.

[01:19:07]>> Good idea, Sergeant.

[01:19:08]>> Thank you, sir. It's just that good old Yankee know.

[01:19:43]Watch out.

[01:20:12]If I was a jerry on the end of this ridge and a tank got close enough to fire point blank, I'd take off like a ruptured duck.

[01:20:20]>> Yeah. Right over the side of the ridge.

[01:20:23]>> There ought to be somebody down there to meet him.

[01:20:25]>> That's what I was thinking.

[01:20:28]>> Let's go.

[01:20:35]>> Hey, Sergeant.

[01:20:37]Sergeant, >> where's Lieutenant Harold's platoon?

[01:20:40]>> This is it.

[01:20:41]>> We're your new replacements. Or is the name, another Santan Irishman.

[01:20:48]>> Come on.

[01:21:03]O'Hara.

[01:22:07]Heat.

[01:22:33]HEAT.

[01:22:45]THEY'RE CHAPS.

[01:22:47]>> HEY, KNOCK IT OFF, WILL YOU?

[01:22:53]>> What's the password?

[01:22:56]>> Dipsy doodle. That's it.

[01:22:58]>> That was it a week ago.

[01:23:02]>> LET'S HAVE THAT PASSWORD. PASSWORD.

[01:23:05]>> ONE, TWO, >> [ __ ] >> Come on out.

[01:23:11]>> Come on out.

[01:23:17]>> Make them give me the right password.

[01:23:18]>> Did you ever hear a Jerry try to pronounce a Japanese word? If that's not a Buddha head, >> you'll what?

[01:23:25]>> SAM, CHECK. TOMMY, >> a whole battalion's lost and we got to find them. Man, I never thought I'd be so happy to see a bunch of jabs.

[01:23:35]>> Pardon me. Japanese. I mean, Ni. No, that ain't it. What is it, Grayson?

[01:23:41]>> Butterheads.

[01:23:42]>> Okay. Okay.

[01:23:50]>> Butterheads, huh?

[01:23:52]>> That's right.

[01:23:53]He sure is touchy about that. One time he even slugged me.

[01:23:57]>> Slugged you? Huh?

[01:23:59]Did you hear that, chick?

[01:24:05]>> Where's the rest of your outfit, Lieutenant?

[01:24:07]>> Back there about a mile. But it took us hours to get here. On our bellies most of the way.

[01:24:11]>> When do we start?

[01:24:13]>> Not enough of us will make it to do him any good.

[01:24:16]>> What do we do, Lieutenant?

[01:24:19]>> That's up to you, Sam. I'm strictly a liazison officer.

[01:24:23]>> Skirmish line up the hill.

[01:24:25]>> Skirmish line up the hill. Skirmish line up the hill. skirmish line up the hill.

[01:24:30]>> Skirmish line up the hill. Skirmish line up the hill.

[01:24:33]>> Tell me something, Sam. What does Bakatari mean?

[01:24:37]>> Well, freely translated. You're a heel.

[01:24:41]A stupid jerk in a heel.

[01:24:45]>> Matt was putting it mildly.

[01:24:49]>> Go for bro.

[01:25:22]TAKE THE FIRE OF THE FISHER BROKE.

[01:26:01]GRENADE.

[01:26:09]Car broke.

[01:26:13]Oh.

[01:26:17]AH, we're going TO >> Is that all the work?

[01:26:35]>> COME ON, BRO.

[01:27:09]YEAH. ANY of you guys want a cigarette?

[01:27:37]>> Bye. Thanks a lot, Jack.

[01:27:45]Take it easy.

[01:27:47]>> Thanks.

[01:27:51]>> Var.

[01:27:53]Goodbye you all.

[01:28:00]>> I'll be seeing you.

[01:28:01]>> Aloha, partner.

[01:28:06]Even heat.

[01:28:36]Battle Honors. By order of the Secretary of War in the name of the President of the United States. As public evidence of deserved honor and distinction, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team is cited for outstanding accomplishment in combat.

[01:28:55]The gallantry and a spree accord displayed by their officers and men in bitter action against a formidable enemy exemplify the finest traditions of the armed forces of the United States.
