00:00:30The End
00:01:00Headquarters, Marine Corps Base, San Diego, California, 15th of January, 1942.
00:01:26Subject, volunteers for a special battalion.
00:01:32A call has been issued by the commanding general for volunteers for a special battalion to be formed at once.
00:01:38Now this battalion will go into training for a particular combat duty overseas.
00:01:45Those men who can pass the severe requirements of this unit will be assured of immediate active service.
00:01:53The work involves close combat with the enemy.
00:01:56And only those men who are prepared to kill or be killed should apply.
00:02:02Those who are accepted will be highly trained and will have every chance of survival.
00:02:08But it must be understood, the work is above and beyond the line of duty.
00:02:14Before you can be selected for this raider battalion, I must ask you a few questions.
00:02:27The final decision, of course, will rest with Colonel Thalwood.
00:02:30Yes, sir.
00:02:31Why do you want to kill Japs?
00:02:32That's what we're here for, I reckon.
00:02:36Right you are, but you'll get enough of that just being with the Marine Corps.
00:02:38What I want to know is, how would you feel now with a Jap coming at you with a bayonet?
00:02:42There he is. It's about as far away as that window.
00:02:44Well, I'd feel right silly, Lieutenant Browning, sir.
00:02:49Down home in Kentucky, a fellow ain't much of a shot less than he can hit a squirrel through the head.
00:02:54I don't see how anything as big as a Jap could get as close as that window.
00:02:57But there'll be times when he can't shoot.
00:02:59When you'll have to sneak up on a man and kill him with a knife.
00:03:02Could you do that?
00:03:05Lieutenant, what a fellow tells you here won't be held against him, will it?
00:03:09We'll never go outside that door, Ted Rowe.
00:03:13Lieutenant, I've done it.
00:03:15A bunch of them Sheffield boys from Brethet County found out I was sparking one of their gals.
00:03:20One night when I was visiting her, they snuck up around the cabin.
00:03:23The gals seen them just in time.
00:03:25I snuck out, and in the dark, I...
00:03:28That's all right, Ted Rowe.
00:03:31But I still don't know just why you want to get into this.
00:03:35Them Sheffields is in the war.
00:03:37Why, if one of them was to kill more Japs than I did, or get decorated, or the like of that, I'd never go home.
00:03:43My pap, he'd wallop the daylights out of me, big as I am.
00:03:46What's your reason for joining up with the Raiders?
00:03:51Reason?
00:03:51Yeah, for wanting to join a break-knit gang like this.
00:03:55Why, with your schooling and background, you could make officers training.
00:03:58In no time at all, you'd be past where it's taken me years to get.
00:04:01Now, what's the reason?
00:04:03I'd rather not say, sir.
00:04:05Doesn't my being here speak for itself?
00:04:07It does not.
00:04:08You'll give me a reason and a good one, or stop wasting my time.
00:04:11It's nothing I'm ashamed of.
00:04:13Speaking of it may just defeat my purpose, that's all.
00:04:16Out with it.
00:04:18All right.
00:04:19I'm an ordained minister of the gospel.
00:04:23When I left theological college, I entered the Marines instead of seeking a church.
00:04:27Because I felt that in times like these, so many men in the service, I could do more good here.
00:04:33Now, I want the most dangerous post I can find.
00:04:37For there beside me will be the men who will need me most.
00:04:40I'm sorry, Mac.
00:04:42We got our chaplains.
00:04:43What we want now is killers.
00:04:46I'll do my duty, sir.
00:04:53I believe you will, Harbison.
00:04:57This Raider Battalion is a tough outfit, Mac.
00:05:00You don't look salty enough.
00:05:01Yeah, yeah, that's what they all say.
00:05:03Nobody gives me a break.
00:05:05Who?
00:05:05Who are you talking about?
00:05:06Who doesn't give you a break?
00:05:06Nobody gives me a break.
00:05:08At home it was the same way.
00:05:09To them I was just, just a no good kid.
00:05:13No good kid, huh?
00:05:15Where you from, Montana?
00:05:17No, no.
00:05:18Montana's my name.
00:05:18Frankie Montana.
00:05:19I'm from Brooklyn.
00:05:20I wish I was there right now.
00:05:22Oh, this Marine Corps is a bummer.
00:05:23How do I care?
00:05:25Sit down.
00:05:27Cut out the rough stuff.
00:05:28I'll tell you when to go.
00:05:29Don't you ever again make a crack like that about the Marine Corps.
00:05:35Now, what's your bellyache about?
00:05:36Oh, spit it out.
00:05:37I got no squawk.
00:05:38What'd you do, get pinched or something?
00:05:39Lie about it to get in the Marines?
00:05:41You tell me.
00:05:42You're a real toughie, aren't you?
00:05:45Okay, Frankie.
00:05:46But what I want to know is, why did you volunteer for this job?
00:05:50You didn't have to.
00:05:50I told you.
00:05:52Everybody's always called me a no good kid.
00:05:53I got sick of it.
00:05:55Oh, I never did anything much.
00:05:57My old man, he wasn't my real father.
00:05:59Started shoving me around when I was little.
00:06:01I got sore.
00:06:01It wouldn't work.
00:06:03He threw me out when my mother died and I trained with a tough crowd.
00:06:08Oh, let it pass.
00:06:09Let it pass.
00:06:10Can I go now, sir?
00:06:10Oh, take it easy, son.
00:06:12You know something?
00:06:14They called me a no good kid once, too.
00:06:17Only they called it to me in Greek.
00:06:19It was a little seaport town, Paris.
00:06:21You probably never heard of it.
00:06:23What do you mean?
00:06:24I ain't so dumb.
00:06:26Well, I've been there.
00:06:28Washing dishes in a black star liner out of Bush Terminal.
00:06:32Well, what do you know about that?
00:06:34Well, that's how I came to America, washing dishes on a boat.
00:06:38Yeah, I took the bumps, kid.
00:06:39I came up the hard way.
00:06:41I never been to Annapolis.
00:06:43But then you can get these without going there, too.
00:06:47Frankie, just because we're a couple of no good kids, I'm going to take a chance, son.
00:06:50Good morning, Sergeant Major.
00:06:59Is the old man busy?
00:07:00Never too busy to see you.
00:07:01Go on in, transport.
00:07:02Thanks.
00:07:02Thanks.
00:07:03Transport!
00:07:03Colonel!
00:07:04Well, well, well, I had an idea you'd show up.
00:07:06Well, when I heard you was back, I just busted right in.
00:07:10Thought it'd have been so if you hadn't.
00:07:11Come on, sit down.
00:07:11When was it last time, Manila?
00:07:12Oh, Colonel, you forgot.
00:07:13China!
00:07:14The ANSI patrol?
00:07:15Right, right, right.
00:07:16Well, you know, transport, I wasn't on the river long.
00:07:17Yeah, I know.
00:07:18And me and the rest of the old gang could hardly believe it when we heard you quit the Marines.
00:07:20Well, I felt bad about that, but I had to do it that way.
00:07:46I can talk about it now.
00:07:47You know where I went?
00:07:48We heard you were sick and went back to the States, but that didn't seem like you.
00:07:51Must have been a couple of Army guys.
00:07:53Where did you go, Colonel?
00:07:57I joined the Chinese Army.
00:07:59Are you kidding, sir?
00:08:01And not even the Chinese Marines.
00:08:02What for?
00:08:03Well, I can see this war with Japan coming.
00:08:06You didn't have to look far with that.
00:08:08I realized that our first line of defense would be China, so I decided to find out just what
00:08:12her war potential was, just how long she could hold out.
00:08:15I joined the Chinese 8th Root Army.
00:08:18Remember that march they made during the Civil War?
00:08:206,000 miles clear across the country?
00:08:23Was they Chinese in the Civil War?
00:08:25I thought there was General Sherman marching along the...
00:08:28Oh, forgive me, sir.
00:08:30I wasn't trying to make no crack honest.
00:08:33It's just that I don't read the papers past the funny page.
00:08:35Will you excuse me, sir?
00:08:36Never mind, Transport.
00:08:37Anyway, that's all over.
00:08:39All the Chinese are united now against the Japs.
00:08:42I've been hearing marvelous things about the guerrilla tactics of the 8th Army.
00:08:46This is right at Shanghai.
00:08:47I made up my mind to find out about them.
00:08:49I couldn't go in uniform, so I went without.
00:08:53Plenty of fighting there, sir.
00:08:54Transport, you never saw anything like it.
00:08:56Just look at those half-armed, ill-fed peasants.
00:08:59They out-marched, out-fought, out-maneured the Japs at every turn, because they believed
00:09:03in what they were fighting for.
00:09:04Because every man had only one desire.
00:09:06To do his duty.
00:09:07Well, I learned a lot of things that are not in textbooks, and I came back to the States
00:09:12to tell about them.
00:09:13Then, Pearl Harbor, and here we go again.
00:09:15I don't ask for nothing better, sir.
00:09:17Transport, we're going to try out something new.
00:09:20Headquarters giving me a free hand.
00:09:21You'll see some fun before we're through.
00:09:22I hope them Japs have got a sense of human.
00:09:24They're going to need it.
00:09:25I want you for my personal runner again.
00:09:27So just wait for orders.
00:09:28Yes, sir.
00:09:32All right.
00:09:33As far as I'm concerned, you're okay.
00:09:35The rest is up to the Colonel.
00:09:36Good luck.
00:09:37Thank you, sir.
00:09:42Hey, there.
00:09:43Hey, wait a minute.
00:09:44Wait a minute.
00:09:45Don't stand back down there.
00:09:46One side.
00:09:47No, for two minutes.
00:09:48What is this?
00:09:49What is this?
00:09:50Who's next here?
00:09:51I am, sir.
00:09:52I was here first.
00:09:53I was next in line.
00:09:54I went down the scuttlebutt to get a drink of water, and he aced himself in.
00:09:57Now get out.
00:09:58Give me them papers.
00:10:04Hey.
00:10:05There's the same name on both of these.
00:10:07I'm Larry Orion.
00:10:08My name's Curt Richter.
00:10:09No, no.
00:10:10Where it says next of kin, it's the same.
00:10:12It says, next of kin, Mrs. Molly Richter, mother.
00:10:16Mrs. Molly Richter, mother.
00:10:18How come?
00:10:19What is this?
00:10:20That's right, Gunner.
00:10:21We both have the same mother.
00:10:22Mom threw my father out when I was a baby and married his old man a Dutchman.
00:10:26Can you imagine that?
00:10:27Why, his old man hadn't drawn a sober breath in ten years.
00:10:29Could you blame her?
00:10:30Cut it.
00:10:31Cut it.
00:10:33Now you stand over there.
00:10:34Now you stand over there.
00:10:38Now tell me, you, uh...
00:10:39Richter.
00:10:41Why are you so bent on getting in ahead of him, and vice versa?
00:10:44You first.
00:10:45I enlisted to fight Japs.
00:10:47The sooner I get at it, the better.
00:10:49Wouldn't be just a grandstand play, would it?
00:10:51What do you mean?
00:10:52There's a girl.
00:10:54Who is she?
00:10:55Her name's Kathleen.
00:10:57You keep her out of this.
00:10:58Kathleen who?
00:10:59Kathleen Corrigan.
00:11:00It's a girl back in Boston.
00:11:02Her father's in the Marine barracks of the Navy Yard there.
00:11:04Quartermaster Sergeant Corrigan.
00:11:06What?
00:11:07Kim Corrigan's daughter?
00:11:09Why, she's a little baby.
00:11:11I bounced her on my knee.
00:11:12She's in her second year at City College.
00:11:14No.
00:11:15Well, get on with it.
00:11:17Get on.
00:11:18That's all.
00:11:19Except this dope joined the Marines to make a hit with her.
00:11:21Well, that's a lie!
00:11:22Why, no!
00:11:23Hey, pipe down the both of you!
00:11:24It can't be going on all day like this.
00:11:27We'll toss for it.
00:11:28The loser goes to the end of the line.
00:11:31Why, here's a coin, sir.
00:11:33Thanks.
00:11:34Heads.
00:11:35Heads it is.
00:11:36You wait.
00:11:37And at the end of the line.
00:11:42Hey, wait a minute.
00:11:43Hey, wait a minute.
00:11:44Let me see that coin.
00:11:45Oh, no.
00:11:46All right.
00:11:47Let's run down.
00:11:48Hey!
00:11:49Why?
00:11:50I see you've been on the brig four times and always for the same thing, fighting.
00:11:54Well, you've got to be tough to be a Marine, sir.
00:11:56Them monkeys will run all over you if you ain't.
00:11:58You've also been in the ring.
00:11:59What name did you fight under?
00:12:00Pig iron, sir.
00:12:01I was middleweight champion of East New Jersey once.
00:12:04Why did they call you Pig iron?
00:12:06Well, my old man had a little farm just outside of town.
00:12:09I used to go around collecting garbage and the kids started calling Piggy.
00:12:13Well, I got pretty strong even those cans around, so after a while I started to beat the town kids up.
00:12:18Finally, they stopped calling it.
00:12:20Then when I started fighting, they called me Pig iron, which I didn't mind.
00:12:23I'm beginning to understand your record, Matthews.
00:12:27You felt that people looked down on you on account of your job.
00:12:31When you found you could make them look up to you with your fists, you kept on using them.
00:12:35Now it's got to be second nature with you.
00:12:37You hit first and think afterward.
00:12:39Well, it's kind of hard to think of it that way when the kids hold their noses when you walk by.
00:12:43I see.
00:12:44That's a lot in that, Matthews.
00:12:46But in the outfit that I'm forming, that's the first lesson to learn.
00:12:50That every man's job is important.
00:12:52Whether he carries a rifle, cooks in the galley, drives a truck, or works as a messman, it's the service that counts.
00:12:57Yes, sir.
00:12:58You'll do, Matthews.
00:12:59Why did you volunteer for this raider battalion?
00:13:02My brother died at Pearl Harbor.
00:13:05They didn't find enough of him to bury.
00:13:07What caused you to volunteer for this raider battalion?
00:13:10I fought in Spain.
00:13:12I fought in Greece.
00:13:13This fight is all the same.
00:13:15Fascism.
00:13:16Why do you want to join this outfit?
00:13:18My sister was caught by the Japanese in Manila.
00:13:21We never heard a word from her.
00:13:23But we read in the newspapers what they did.
00:13:25Now, what about you?
00:13:26Three years I've been a Marine.
00:13:28I haven't been in a fight yet.
00:13:30This is my chance.
00:13:32Why do you want to sign up?
00:13:34I just don't like Japs.
00:13:36What about you, my sister?
00:13:37No.
00:13:38I'm a Marine.
00:13:39I'm a Marine.
00:13:40No.
00:13:41Alien.
00:13:42Enter.
00:13:43Sir, the battalion is formed.
00:13:45Take your post.
00:13:47At ease.
00:13:52Sit down, boys, and make yourselves comfortable.
00:13:55The smoking lamp is lit.
00:13:56Sit down, boys, and make yourselves comfortable.
00:13:58The smoking lamp is lit.
00:14:05Boys, this is our first get-together, but it won't be our last.
00:14:09You probably wonder what this is all about.
00:14:12Well, I can't tell you now.
00:14:13You'll learn as you go along.
00:14:15But I can say this.
00:14:17You are to receive a course of training unique in the history of the Marine Corps.
00:14:20If you justify the effort to be spent on you,
00:14:24you may be able to point the way in which this tremendously difficult war in the Pacific can be won.
00:14:30Briefly, it can be won by teamwork,
00:14:32by trained men fighting together with the precision of a machine.
00:14:36But it's more than that.
00:14:38It must be a harmonious machine.
00:14:41Now you start with the fundamentals.
00:14:44And at the bottom of everything is self-discipline.
00:14:47You must start by casting out all prejudices.
00:14:51Racial.
00:14:52Religious.
00:14:53Every other kind.
00:14:55I want you to feel free to ask questions, even embarrassing ones.
00:14:59Come to me with suggestions.
00:15:01We're going to be more than officers' men in this.
00:15:04We're going to be comrades.
00:15:05What I eat, you will eat.
00:15:07Where I sleep, you will sleep.
00:15:09I will take you into my confidence whenever it's possible before going into battle.
00:15:13We'll have a meeting at which I'll explain our plans and objectives
00:15:16so that each of you can make a more intelligent contribution to the result.
00:15:22Afterward, we'll have another meeting to criticize the way in which the operation was conducted.
00:15:28We'll fight and endure and win together.
00:15:32Ahead of you lies a hard road.
00:15:43You'll often have bad food and very little of that.
00:15:46Many times your bed will be a muddy ditch.
00:15:49You'll march until you think you're exhausted and then be called on to start out again.
00:15:52To carry you through the rough spots before you, teamwork is needed.
00:15:58You'll have to help each other.
00:16:01The Chinese have a word for it.
00:16:03It is gung ho.
00:16:05Gung to work, ho harmony.
00:16:09I propose it as our motto.
00:16:11Gung ho.
00:16:12Come on, now give it to me.
00:16:18Pearl Harbor is history now in two months.
00:16:20From 15,000 volunteers, the colonel has accepted about 900 of us.
00:16:25And our training begins.
00:16:28Calisthenics.
00:16:28The development of a vigorous body to better house a healthy mind and spirit.
00:16:32The colonel has warned us it isn't going to be easy.
00:16:35And that's the prize understatement of 1942.
00:16:39Our objective is already selected.
00:16:41And we'll attack when our preparation in the tradition of gung ho is complete.
00:16:45Realizing that we'll shove off the minute we're in shape,
00:16:48we settle down to the sizable job of becoming the 2nd Raider Battalion.
00:16:53And we know the reason for this sweat and bodily pain.
00:16:56The old man explains over and over that these exercises and all the others to follow
00:17:01will pay off on some enemy-held beach or in some Jap-infested jungle.
00:17:05We learn to defend and attack without the aid of weapons.
00:17:09You can do a lot with a strong pair of hands, a healthy body, and a quick mind.
00:17:14This is the science of Judo.
00:17:16We learn to swim through fire, how to jump hips.
00:17:20There's the science of scaling walls and barriers.
00:17:23Anything the enemy may place in our way or hide behind.
00:17:26This is our security weapon, without which a raider loses his whole identity.
00:17:32One of our boys is a Filipino and an expert with the knife.
00:17:35He teaches us the hundred uses of it.
00:17:38A handy, harmless tool or a deadly, convincing weapon.
00:17:42Now the training becomes more intensive.
00:17:45The officers are right along with us, every ache, every bruise, every step of the way.
00:17:50Their bars and insignia are left in the barracks.
00:17:53We know their rank because we eat, sleep, work, and play together.
00:17:58But they have our respect, for an officer in this outfit has to have what it takes.
00:18:03Some of us are going to die for democracy and freedom and equality.
00:18:08But right here in the 2nd Raider Battalion, we're going to live it while we can.
00:18:13And no matter how tough the going gets, we know the old man is always watching out for us.
00:18:18We bridge barbed wire entanglements with our own bodies and learn not to let this happen.
00:18:25We discover that the bayonet is no ornament on the end of a rifle, and bayonet drill is rough.
00:18:30When we reach a canyon or a gorge or declivity, perhaps we can cross it this way.
00:18:35Always do the unexpected.
00:18:38If we trip or fall, our bodies are trained to respond instantly.
00:18:41A raider is never out of firing position, nor is he ever relaxed.
00:18:46He's always on the alert for sudden attack from any quarter, and his body is taught to respond automatically.
00:18:52There are few rules to this fight we're in, and so we take on a few tricks.
00:18:57Unpleasant, yes, but sometimes highly effective.
00:19:01In some of the final cross-country hikes, we're traveling 45 miles in 8 hours with full pack and short rations.
00:19:09You have to run just about every step of the way.
00:19:12They're designed to further reduce our number.
00:19:14They do.
00:19:16Take it, folks.
00:19:18At ease.
00:19:21Now, men, I want no falling out.
00:19:24And if you do fall, you fall right out of this battalion.
00:19:26We're all starting, and we're all finishing.
00:19:32Now, get your gear set.
00:19:40Hey, take it easy, will ya?
00:19:42You silly jarhead, when are you going to learn to fix a pack?
00:19:44Look at that bayonet.
00:19:56What's the matter?
00:20:01Oh, sudden pain, like a knife.
00:20:04Lieutenant!
00:20:05Oh, lieutenant!
00:20:11What's the matter?
00:20:13Sudden pain.
00:20:13I guess I'll be all right.
00:20:18Report to sick bay.
00:20:20Yes, sir.
00:20:21Sergeant Petchon, pull up.
00:20:23Aye, sir.
00:20:24Hurry and turn!
00:20:26Lift, lift, hurry!
00:20:29Right shoulder, wait, turn!
00:20:34Forward, turn!
00:20:52I guess this is as close to heaven as I'll ever get.
00:20:55A swell meal, a beautiful girl, and, sad to say, Papa Corrigan gone for the evening.
00:21:00My, oh, my, the barracks were never like this.
00:21:02Is this the new judo grip?
00:21:04Oh, excuse me.
00:21:05I didn't realize I was holding you so tight.
00:21:07Yes, you didn't.
00:21:09I wonder what happened to Kurt.
00:21:10Are you certain you left where we'd be here?
00:21:12Well, sure, I did, but he's probably so exhausted that he's doing bunk fatigue right now.
00:21:23Oh, don't answer it.
00:21:25It's probably some poor Marine trying to work his way through Officer's Candidate School by selling magazine subscriptions.
00:21:30Marines don't sell magazines, my friend.
00:21:36Kurt!
00:21:37Oh, it's good to see you.
00:21:38Come on in.
00:21:38You're looking prettier than ever.
00:21:40Oh, thank you.
00:21:40You're looking pretty good yourself.
00:21:41Hey, why don't you write a fellow?
00:21:42Let him know you're coming.
00:21:43Oh, I wanted to surprise you.
00:21:44Boy, you sure didn't.
00:21:46Sergeant, it's good to have you with us again.
00:21:48Oh, it's good to be here, Kurt.
00:21:49Hey, remember me?
00:21:50I'm still here.
00:21:51Now, don't remind us.
00:21:52We're trying to forget it.
00:21:53How's my mother?
00:21:54Grand.
00:21:55Oh, she told me to give you something.
00:21:56She did?
00:21:57What?
00:21:57This.
00:21:59Hey, what about me?
00:22:00Did she send me one, too?
00:22:01She did.
00:22:01Good.
00:22:02Not until you do the dishes, as you promised.
00:22:04Get going with your mess, Judy.
00:22:06This will be the fastest job of dish washing you ever, sir.
00:22:08Ahoy, Raiders!
00:22:26Ahoy, Raiders!
00:22:28Break ranks, boys.
00:22:30Gather in closer.
00:22:31Sit down.
00:22:32The smoking lamp is lit.
00:22:33Ahoy, Raiders!
00:22:38I want to give you some good news.
00:22:44Your period of training in this area is over.
00:22:47We are now headed for the real thing.
00:22:49Yeah!
00:22:51This is not an orthodox war in the Pacific.
00:22:55The Japanese are crafty, tenacious, tough, but they have a weakness.
00:23:00It lies in their inability to adapt themselves to unusual situations.
00:23:04You probably have wondered why I place such emphasis on physical conditioning, control, cooperation.
00:23:11It was to enable us to exploit to the utmost the element of surprise and thus capitalize on the enemy's weakness.
00:23:17We must be able to land where they think we cannot, to cross terrain which they think impassable.
00:23:22This means hard work, but by subjecting ourselves to unusual hardships, we'll gain our objectives more effectively and at a minimum cost of human lives.
00:23:32If you can accomplish your initial task, others can be set up.
00:23:36There's no limit to what can be done.
00:23:38Can you do it?
00:23:39No!
00:23:41Now what about some chow?
00:23:42What are you doing here?
00:24:03Waiting for you.
00:24:04Kathleen, I haven't much time.
00:24:06Is there some place we could go sit down and be alone?
00:24:08Alone in San Diego?
00:24:10Impossible.
00:24:11Well, I know a place where we can sit down.
00:24:13Well...
00:24:13Come on.
00:24:19Apple pie, custard pie, blueberry pie, blackberry pie, lemon pie, peach pie, jello, brown belly, pudding and a pineapple upside down cake.
00:24:24What do you have?
00:24:25Will you repeat that, please?
00:24:27Apple pie, custard pie, blueberry pie, blackberry pie, lemon pie, peach pie, jello, brown belly, pudding and pineapple upside down cake.
00:24:34What do you have?
00:24:35Here are folks, all ready for you.
00:24:36What do you have?
00:24:37We'd like a couple of hamburgers, please.
00:24:39So would I.
00:24:41Don't you know this is Meatless Tuesday?
00:24:43Just when I felt like having a hamburger.
00:24:45I can't understand it.
00:24:46We got Meatless Tuesday just so the guys in the Army and Navy can have all the meat they want.
00:24:50So what happened?
00:24:51On Meatless Tuesday, the Army and Navy come in here and ask for hamburgers.
00:24:54I don't get it.
00:24:55Okay, okay, okay, you win.
00:24:57We'll settle for two coffees.
00:24:58That suits me.
00:24:59I ought to have been a bookkeeper.
00:25:01Monday's Tuesday.
00:25:03Well, this isn't exactly the sort of place I had in mind.
00:25:06I'd find a more romantic kind of spot.
00:25:09You know, like you see in the movies.
00:25:10One with the moon and trees and stars.
00:25:14Maybe even a little soft music.
00:25:16Well, at least we have the music.
00:25:18Hey, that's something anyway.
00:25:19Oh, it's good to have you alone for a change.
00:25:31You know that wolf in uniform won't come barging in on us.
00:25:33You know, ever since I can remember it, you and Larry have been scrapping about something or other.
00:25:37That was kid stuff.
00:25:39It isn't anymore.
00:25:41Kathy, I think we're shipping out soon.
00:25:45Gosh, I hate to see you go.
00:25:47I guess you wouldn't be happy otherwise.
00:25:49No, I wouldn't.
00:25:50It's what I've been waiting for.
00:25:52What I've been trained for.
00:25:53I'm going to miss you terribly.
00:25:56Will you?
00:25:56Really?
00:25:57Of course I will.
00:25:58Oh, that makes it a lot easier for me then.
00:26:00And you see, I just couldn't leave without telling you that...
00:26:05Yes, Gary.
00:26:05Well, I'm not very good with words.
00:26:08Not a smooth talker like Larry.
00:26:11But I want you to know how I feel about you.
00:26:13Oh, Gary.
00:26:13Oh, don't stop me now or I'll never get the nerve to finish.
00:26:17You see, Kathy, some guys need pictures of their girls to remind them of what they look like.
00:26:24But not me.
00:26:25I keep seeing you all the time, no matter where I am or what I'm doing.
00:26:30I keep hearing your name as if someone was whispering it to me.
00:26:34I got it so bad I can't think so.
00:26:37Kathy, am I making a sucker out of myself?
00:26:40I mean, have I got the right to think of you as my girl?
00:26:44To count on you to be waiting here for me when I come back?
00:26:47I'd like to know the answer to that, too.
00:26:49How'd you find us?
00:26:51Sergeant Corrigan told me that Kathleen usually stops here after work.
00:26:54I wanted to see her.
00:26:55All right, you've seen her.
00:26:55Now blow.
00:26:56Oh, but I want a good look.
00:26:57Listen, Larry, if you don't get out of here, you won't look at anything.
00:26:59Now go for it. Break it up, please.
00:27:00Here you are, folks.
00:27:01Nice hot coffee.
00:27:05What are you going to have?
00:27:06A hamburger.
00:27:07Hamburger.
00:27:08See what I mean?
00:27:09This is Meatless Tuesday.
00:27:11I can't understand it.
00:27:12We got this.
00:27:12Oh, forget it.
00:27:14I'm still going to be a bookkeeper.
00:27:16Monday this, Tuesday that, Thursday something else.
00:27:19Well, Kathy, this is good-bye.
00:27:32Good-bye, Kurt.
00:27:33Take care of yourself.
00:27:39Good-bye, Larry.
00:27:42Good-bye, and come back.
00:27:44So long.
00:27:45Good-bye, Kathy.
00:27:46We'll be seeing you.
00:27:58We're under orders now.
00:28:00Our gear is packed, and about 600 of us file a board awaiting transport.
00:28:05Our destination?
00:28:07Unannounced.
00:28:07We're shoving off into the unknown.
00:28:13The big ship heads out to the open sea, and her boiling wake testifies to the urgency of our mission.
00:28:20The friendly shores of home fade into the mist.
00:28:24Pearl Harbor.
00:28:25Five months following the day of infamy.
00:28:28Silence settles over the ship as we ease past the wreckage.
00:28:31There they are, the Arizona with her masts and torn bridge thrusting out of the water.
00:28:41The rusty hull of the capsized Oklahoma.
00:28:44Their guns are cold and unmanned.
00:28:47Mute testimony to the power of Japan.
00:28:49There are men in the 2nd Raider Battalion who lost brothers on those ships.
00:28:57Can we help even the score?
00:29:01We dare not fail.
00:29:03Take a good look, Raiders.
00:29:06That's what the Colonel meant when he told us about them Japs.
00:29:09After three more months of intensive training, we're ready.
00:29:19We know it.
00:29:20We're confident and sure of ourselves, but not reckless.
00:29:25The Navy has won the battles of the Coral Sea in Midway.
00:29:28But the Japs have taken Singapore, Burma, the East Indies, and are threatening both Australia and Alaska.
00:29:35No, there's little to make us overconfident.
00:29:37Oh, baby.
00:29:43You know, I always did like a nice hot bath before dinner.
00:29:47What makes you think you're going to get any dinner?
00:29:52Yeah, that should hold you for a while, Mac.
00:29:53Thanks.
00:29:55All I want to know is when does the war start?
00:29:58I'll need you to take a rest.
00:30:00I've been climbing so many hills, I'm beginning to feel like a goat.
00:30:03I look like a goat.
00:30:05I act like a goat.
00:30:06I'm even starting to think like a goat.
00:30:08Did you say think?
00:30:10Yeah, why?
00:30:11Oh, nothing.
00:30:12I just wondered.
00:30:15What did he mean by that?
00:30:21An Navy spokesman has indicated there are about 10,000 Japanese troops on Kiska and Optu.
00:30:26And here is a Navy bulletin just handed me.
00:30:29U.S. Marines have landed in the Solomon Islands on Guadalcanal and Tulagi.
00:30:33The enemy is counterattacking with rapidity and vigor.
00:30:36The fighting is savage and losses on both sides are heavy.
00:30:39In the first hours, we have lost one cruiser sunk, two cruisers, two destroyers, and one transport damaged.
00:30:45The Navy Department cautions that considerable losses must be expected.
00:30:48Now, you men, listen to me.
00:30:54This is it.
00:30:55We move out of here before morning, so get all your gear together.
00:30:58Where do we go, Gunner?
00:30:59Come on, shake the lid off.
00:31:00Yeah, when do we eat?
00:31:01Hey, don't we get any sleep?
00:31:02Ah, you've been asleep since you were born.
00:31:04You'll get plenty of sleep in the next eight days, and I'll promise you that.
00:31:07Now, move out of here as fast as you get your gear together.
00:31:09Line up outside by platoons, and let's go!
00:31:12Two hundred of us, from the 15,000 who started, and were shoving off, without convoy, without escort, alone.
00:31:26Not on a transport, a cruiser, or destroyer.
00:31:30We pack ourselves into two submarines.
00:31:33This is a new one in the history of American warfare.
00:31:36But we're the raiders, organized and trained to do the unexpected.
00:31:40All right, men, just follow transport.
00:31:50He'll show you the bunk's assigned to you.
00:31:52Come on, snap it up.
00:31:53Hurry up.
00:31:53Move along.
00:31:54Move along.
00:31:56Come on, move along.
00:31:57There are more guys in the back here.
00:31:58That's it.
00:31:59Move along.
00:31:59Snap it up.
00:32:00Pull in your neck.
00:32:02Knucklehead.
00:32:02That's it.
00:32:03Come on, move along.
00:32:04Move along, boys.
00:32:07Move along.
00:32:07I used to think the subway was crowded.
00:32:23Man, there's more people in here than the whole town where I come from.
00:32:26I haven't been pushed around so much since my horse fell with me at a cattle stampede.
00:32:30Me, I don't mind this at all.
00:32:32When I was a kid, my whole family used to sleep in one room.
00:32:34How many in your family?
00:32:36Twelve.
00:32:37That's when I joined up.
00:32:39But it's been quite some time since I heard from my folks.
00:32:44All right, all right, guys.
00:32:46Pipe down.
00:32:47The colonel wants to say a few words to you.
00:32:48Well, boys, now you know how a sardine feels.
00:32:53I, uh, I want you to stay in your bunks as much as possible, as it'll be better for everyone.
00:32:59I can assure you all that no matter how you feel, no matter what trick your imagination
00:33:03may play on you, even though we stay submerged for many hours together, there'll always be air
00:33:08enough for all of us to breathe.
00:33:10The reconditioning system has a margin of safety far beyond that required by the greatest number
00:33:15of men that could be packed inside the hull.
00:33:17For the present, we're running on the surface, but we'll submerge as soon as possible.
00:33:23However, you'll have ample warning before we do.
00:33:26What about it, gang?
00:33:27Can we take it?
00:33:28Go!
00:33:30We'll start serving chow in an hour.
00:33:32You'll make your way to the mess and relays according to the schedules given to the squad
00:33:36leaders.
00:33:47Man, I don't like this.
00:33:52What is it, Rube?
00:33:53Everything's going to be all right.
00:33:55Feels like everything's pressing in on me.
00:33:57Don't think about it.
00:33:59Close your eyes.
00:34:00I can still see it.
00:34:05It never could stand being crowded in.
00:34:07I can feel it.
00:34:08Think of something else, Rube.
00:34:11Think of your home.
00:34:14Think of the sheep coming down to the brook to drink.
00:34:17Didn't have no sheep.
00:34:18We all kept hogs.
00:34:20All right.
00:34:21Think of the hogs.
00:34:23Count them, Rube.
00:34:25Count them.
00:34:25One, two, three, four.
00:34:36Keep counting, Rube.
00:34:37Keep counting.
00:34:38Can't.
00:34:39That was all I had.
00:34:42You'll be all right, Rube.
00:34:44Just keep counting those four over and over again.
00:34:50One, two, three.
00:34:55Oh.
00:34:57You know, Frankie, I just remembered something.
00:34:59You know, I never did tell you that I'd been to Brooklyn, did I?
00:35:02Yeah, I used to go there to Ebbets Field to see the Dodgers play.
00:35:05No kidding.
00:35:05Sure.
00:35:06Oh, boy, the Dodgers.
00:35:08You know, that's where I learned my marksmanship.
00:35:10How do you mean?
00:35:10Tossing pop bottles at the umpire.
00:35:17All right, boys, this is a dive.
00:35:20Now just relax.
00:35:25You know, that's why I take this summer.
00:35:32Good morning.
00:35:35Oh, boy.
00:35:37Oh, boy.
00:35:39Oh, boy.
00:35:41Oh, boy.
00:35:44Oh, boy.
00:35:45Oh, boy.
00:35:48It's like riding a roller coaster.
00:36:18Stick that in the sentries back, you'd make him say, uncle, eh, Parson?
00:36:36You'd make him call for the whole congregation.
00:36:38Let's see.
00:36:42I'd like a little more weight on the end.
00:36:45Oh, Doc!
00:36:46Yes, Kozarovsky?
00:36:49What do you think of the weight of this knife?
00:36:52Not bad.
00:36:53By the way, is there any place where you can stab a man so he won't make any sound at all?
00:36:57Well, the heart's the best chance, but wherever you stick a man, he's liable to cry out instinctively.
00:37:02See?
00:37:03That's one way to keep him from letting out a peep.
00:37:05And?
00:37:07That's right, Lieutenant.
00:37:08The main thing is force.
00:37:10Plenty of force.
00:37:11You know, it takes a surgeon to realize how tough the human body is, so when you hit a man, give it all you've got.
00:37:16You can tell.
00:37:17You can tell with a feel if the blade is penetrating.
00:37:19If it hasn't, hit him again.
00:37:22Well, good honey.
00:37:24You know, there's still a much more effective way of doing that.
00:37:27Let me show you.
00:37:27Oh, now you don't.
00:37:28What?
00:37:38Duck, duck.
00:37:41White boars.
00:37:42She's coming, boys.
00:37:42Quiet.
00:37:43All right, men, now.
00:38:05Hey!
00:38:05Hey!
00:38:06Hey!
00:38:07Hey!
00:38:08Hey!
00:38:09Hey!
00:38:10I have a beat.
00:38:11Oh, you shouldn't.
00:38:1213?
00:38:1314?
00:38:1415?
00:38:15Are you kidding?
00:38:16Is he only 16?
00:38:17Sweet 16.
00:38:18Sweet 16?
00:38:19I've never been kissed.
00:38:20Who's never been kissed?
00:38:22Wait, if I had a cent for every time I've been kissed, I'd be...
00:38:25Hold it, hold it, guys.
00:38:27Hold it.
00:38:28How old do you really think he is?
00:38:30Twelve.
00:38:31Twenty-five.
00:38:32Twenty-one.
00:38:33Da, da, da.
00:38:34Gunner isn't a day over 60.
00:38:36The only reason he looks older is because he worries so much.
00:38:39All right, have your little laugh.
00:38:41Give me a knife.
00:38:42Happy birthday to Gunner.
00:38:44Happy birthday to Gunner.
00:38:46Happy birthday, dear Gunner.
00:38:49Happy birthday to you.
00:38:52Wait a minute.
00:38:54Wait a minute.
00:38:55Make a wish.
00:38:56Get it.
00:38:57Go.
00:38:58All right.
00:38:59No, not my candles.
00:39:00On my cake.
00:39:01It's a buying thing.
00:39:02Boop, boop.
00:39:08All right, all right, you guys.
00:39:10The Colonel wants all hands to have one of these.
00:39:13Hey, Transport, what do you got?
00:39:14The evening papers?
00:39:15What are the Dodgers doing?
00:39:16These are maps.
00:39:17Tells us where we're going.
00:39:18Got any pinup girls, Transport?
00:39:19No, but I got a nice picture of myself in a baby suit.
00:39:22Want me to autograph it for you?
00:39:23Where is it?
00:39:24Huh?
00:39:25Hey, Transport, I don't understand this.
00:39:27What are you expecting to do?
00:39:28Talk to you?
00:39:29Study him, knucklehead.
00:39:30Study him.
00:39:31Get to know him better than your own wife, if you had a wife.
00:39:34The Colonel is going to ask your questions about him later on.
00:39:37All I can see is a couple of islands drawn here.
00:39:39What do you expect?
00:39:41Moving pictures of Dorothy L'Amour on them islands?
00:39:44Well, is that bad?
00:39:52There they are.
00:39:53South Sea Islands.
00:39:57Gee, I can remember when I used to be out harvesting the North 80
00:40:00and the waving wheat would look like the sea.
00:40:03I'd wonder if I'd ever see places like Tahiti and Gilbert and Marshalls.
00:40:08Do you ever want to go there, Frankie?
00:40:10No.
00:40:11Any place that ain't got a pool room don't interest me.
00:40:13Ah.
00:40:16We should arrive in Area 7 at approximately 20 hundred.
00:40:20Very good.
00:40:26Let it go, Gunner.
00:40:28Ahoy, Raiders!
00:40:31Boys, by now you've all had a chance to study your maps.
00:40:35I know, you've been wondering why we're bound for.
00:40:37Well, now I can let you in on the secret.
00:40:40Our objective is Macon Island.
00:40:43We should arrive about next Wednesday.
00:40:46Macon Island has been particularly troublesome
00:40:49because it threatens our line of communication with Australia.
00:40:52It's constantly being strengthened
00:40:54and the Japs should attempt to seize some more in the Fijis.
00:40:57Macon, undoubtedly, would be one of the takeoff points.
00:40:59We'll go ashore at dawn, seize it, kill every Jap and destroy the installations.
00:41:06Now as to the odds.
00:41:08There are about two Japs for every one of you.
00:41:10As they are the defending force, you can multiply that by three.
00:41:14Six to one.
00:41:15How can we overcome that advantage?
00:41:19Platoon leaders, take over.
00:41:21Well, men, you've heard the Colonel.
00:41:25The odds are six to one.
00:41:28How are we going to overcome that?
00:41:30Harbison.
00:41:32By the element of surprise, sir.
00:41:34Good.
00:41:35What else?
00:41:37I'm working together.
00:41:39I have a plan so well laid out that every man knows what to do and does it.
00:41:42And that's the most important thing.
00:41:44If you haven't got that, you have nothing.
00:41:46You're all part of a team.
00:41:48A team for killing.
00:41:50After studying your maps, you'll probably notice a lot of things that are very familiar to you.
00:41:56What do you recognize?
00:41:58I recognize the beach we land on every night at Honolulu.
00:42:01Same shape.
00:42:02There's the building we blew up every night and built again the next day.
00:42:05It's Mark Government House here.
00:42:06And there's a radio station just where we had it.
00:42:09That's good map reading.
00:42:11We laid out Macon Island exactly as it is.
00:42:15And you've been rehearsing for the things you have to do.
00:42:17Although you don't know it, from the very beginning, you men have been training for this raid.
00:42:27And when you get there, go in and do the things you've been trained to do.
00:42:33There should be nothing to it.
00:42:35Any questions?
00:42:38All right.
00:42:40I want you to look over your maps again and again.
00:42:43If you're in doubt about anything, just tell me.
00:42:45I'll try to straighten you out.
00:42:49Ahoy Raiders!
00:42:50Ahoy Raiders!
00:42:51Ahoy Raiders!
00:43:04Colonel, there's Macon Island.
00:43:05We arrive there tomorrow.
00:43:07We contacted the other submarine and arranged the rendezvous.
00:43:09Oh, good.
00:43:10Our information is that Luckinor on the north and Meraki on the south are possibly fortified.
00:43:15But Macon is the Jap strongpoint east of Jaluit.
00:43:18I suppose the Japs patrol these waters, from there at least.
00:43:21We're in Jap waters now.
00:43:23I doubled all watches at sunrise.
00:43:24Sir.
00:43:26We've just picked up some radio telephone messages.
00:43:29Japanese.
00:43:30They're too strong to come from a land station.
00:43:32Sounds like a carrier talking to planes.
00:43:34Gun them!
00:43:37Yes, sir.
00:43:38Get the men down and keep them below until further orders.
00:43:40Hang on, sir.
00:43:43All right, men. Knock it off.
00:43:44Clear the deck.
00:43:45Clear the deck.
00:44:00All right, boys.
00:44:01Great snappy.
00:44:13Wait a minute.
00:44:14There's one missing.
00:44:15Where's Tetra?
00:44:16He was topside with us, sir, when we first went up.
00:44:18He hasn't slept very well since he's been aboard.
00:44:20He just lays awake nights counting those four hogs a bit.
00:44:44End of it.
00:45:02Model, we left a man on deck.
00:45:03Jedrow.
00:45:04Is there anything we can do, Captain?
00:45:14Battle stations, surface!
00:45:44Well, looks like old Rogue got enough air that time, huh?
00:46:11Ha, ha, ha!
00:46:41Ha, ha, ha!
00:46:48Ha, ha, ha!
00:46:55Ha, ha, ha!
00:47:02Ha, ha, ha!
00:47:09Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:47:16Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:47:21Ha, ha, ha!
00:47:25Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:47:29Chipping water and forward torpedo room, sir.
00:47:33It's all right.
00:47:34Make it easy, guys.
00:47:35Nothing serious.
00:47:40Look!
00:47:41Look, we're breaking up!
00:47:43Water's coming in!
00:47:45Back trip!
00:47:46Don't try to fool me!
00:47:47We're gonna drown!
00:47:48I tell you, we're gonna drown!
00:47:52What are you trying to do?
00:47:53Start a panic?
00:47:58I...
00:47:59I'm sorry, sir.
00:48:01Okay, son.
00:48:02Back in your mouth.
00:48:05Not any of you think he's yellow, either.
00:48:12That can happen to all of us.
00:48:21You know, a guy could get killed in here.
00:48:25Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:48:26Ha, ha, ha!
00:48:27Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:48:28Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:48:29Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:48:46All ahead, Standard.
00:48:47Aye, aye, sir.
00:48:48Periscope dead.
00:48:49Bring her up.
00:48:50Aye, aye, sir.
00:48:51Sorry about this, Captain.
00:48:53You might have had a shot at the flat top those planes came from.
00:48:56Orders, Colonel.
00:48:57This isn't a hunting trip.
00:48:59We've only got two torpedoes with instructions not to use them except for defense.
00:49:02My orders are to get you there.
00:49:04And to me, that means all of you.
00:49:23All ahead.
00:49:24Steady as you go.
00:49:25Steady as you go.
00:49:26Steady as you go.
00:49:27You'll have to hurry it up, Colonel, so that we can get you a landing body away before
00:49:28it gets too light.
00:49:29Aye, aye.
00:49:30All ahead, two thirds.
00:49:31All ahead, two thirds.
00:49:32Take it easy.
00:49:33Pipe down, will ya?
00:49:34Hey, Larry.
00:49:35Why don't you try having one of those stomach aches of yours now, huh?
00:49:36I would, but my girl's 4,000 miles away.
00:49:37Whose girl?
00:49:38My girl, Kathy.
00:49:39Who are you?
00:49:40Break it up!
00:49:41Break it up!
00:49:42Break it up!
00:49:43The colonel has some final instructions.
00:49:45Well, boys, this is what we've been waiting for.
00:49:47Megan Island has been sighted and our rendezvous with the other submarine has been accomplished.
00:50:08We'll have to be ashore before sunrise.
00:50:13sunrise by sunset all our missions must be carried out not a jap left alive on the island
00:50:20both our submarines will lie submerged during the day after dark they'll come to the surface
00:50:25to take us off we must get aboard or be left behind we're going in under the most favorable
00:50:31conditions possible when you get in the fight it's up to you use your heads and god bless you
00:50:43this is it this is the objective of six months training and eight days of traveling out of
00:50:54pearl harbor in an hour or two from now we'll know if the jap can be beaten
00:51:00we'll know if these past six months have been worthwhile or have been in vain
00:51:13the ground swells toss the rubber boats about and we have trouble jumping into them
00:51:26and the water breaking over and running off the sub pours into the open boats
00:51:31but one by one they're loaded and we shove off to the job ahead to the unknown
00:51:38there's admiration in the eyes of a submarine crew as we start to the shore
00:51:45the half-light of dawn the island is clearly visible
00:51:51what about the enemy has he seen us he has artillery on the island why hasn't he opened up
00:51:58how many machine guns will we meet on the beach the colonel and transport and gunner and the captain
00:52:04have told us this is the moment when your nerves sometimes break up
00:52:10our enemies japs are watching us right now they must be why don't they start shooting

00:53:56Browning, you move in reserve and send a group to cover Chris's left flank.
00:53:59Aye, sir.

00:56:05Oh, my God.
00:56:36Down, everybody.
00:56:39Hold your fire.
00:56:40Yeah, that was a Jock machine gun, an amble.
00:56:43Maybe we have to change our plans and work fast.
00:56:46Montana, Pig Iron, Tedrow, Richter, Orion.
00:56:50Advance from this point.
00:56:51Wipe out that machine gun nest.
00:56:53Marks and the rest of you follow me.
00:56:54We'll outflack them from the left.
00:56:57Now use your heads, all of you.
00:56:58Pig Iron, you're in charge of this group.
00:57:00Aye, sir.
00:57:01Good luck, kid.
00:57:11All right, you guys know what we have to do.
00:57:13I'll make the assault and you cover me.
00:57:15My luck is bad, Kurt, you're next.
00:57:16Then Larry, Frankie, and Tedrow.
00:57:18So long, fellas.
00:57:19There goes nothing.
00:57:20I'll make the assault.
00:57:20I'll make the assault.
00:57:38I'll make the assault.
00:57:39Good luck.
00:57:40Uh-oh, looks like Piggy stopped one.
00:57:59Maybe I'll have better luck.
00:58:00Kurt, I just wanted to say that was all Marky about Kathleen and me.
00:58:08I always tried to make you think she cared for me.
00:58:11Well, she didn't.
00:58:12I'm not in love with her.
00:58:14Guess I got in the habit of scrapping with you about everything.
00:58:17Then she came along.
00:58:18You're such a serious guy.
00:58:20You never were a good liar, Larry.
00:58:22Saw it.
00:58:23Larry!
00:58:24Larry!
00:58:25Larry!
00:58:25Larry!
00:58:26Let's go.
00:58:56Hey, Frankie, what you doing?
00:59:01The crew always said if we got stuck, to use our heads and do the unexpected.
00:59:06I used to run the 100-yard dash in 10 seconds flat for the smallest AC at Greenpoint, but
00:59:10not dressed like this.
00:59:19Start shooting now, Rube.
00:59:21Give him something to worry about.
00:59:26Let's go.

01:01:42Put him down right here.
01:01:44Well, pig iron, old boy.
01:01:46Say, what did they try to do to you?
01:01:49Oh.
01:01:50Can't talk, huh?
01:01:51A marine that can't squawk.
01:01:52That's not a bad idea.
01:02:00You know something?
01:02:01I almost got you, boy.
01:02:02Looks like you're due for a transfusion.
01:02:04Oh, Doc.
01:02:05Come here, will you please?
01:02:07Sit tight, Biggie.
01:02:08I'll be right back.
01:02:11You better take a look at this.
01:02:41Thanks, Biggie.
01:02:42Thanks, Biggie.
01:02:43Thanks, Biggie.
01:02:48Harbo, take a fire group across.
01:02:49Scout the hospital area.
01:02:50We'll cover you from here with machine gun fire.
01:02:51Aye, aye, sir.
01:02:52Harbison, take the left flank.
01:02:53Tedro, the right.
01:02:54All right.

01:03:09We'll cover you from here with machine gun fire.
01:03:11Aye, aye, sir. Harbison, take the left plank.
01:03:13The drone, the right.
01:03:14All right, sir.
01:03:15Let's go.

01:03:54Chris calling CP.

01:03:59Carmel.
01:04:00Chris wants to talk to you, sir.
01:04:02Command post speaking, come in, Chris.
01:04:06Three enemy planes approaching from the east.
01:04:08I see them, Chris.
01:04:10Vault advance, maintain your positions.
01:04:12Do not fire on planes.
01:04:14Do not fire on planes.
01:04:15Got it, Chris?
01:04:16Roger.
01:04:18All companies.
01:04:19All companies, come in, please.
01:04:22Company commanders, report to rendezvous B.
01:04:25Report to rendezvous B.
01:04:27Company commanders.
01:04:30Boys, those planes changed the situation.
01:04:33Now, as you know, our position is here.
01:04:36The radio station there.
01:04:37And is directing those planes.
01:04:40We've got to knock it out before they return with reinforcements.
01:04:42Oh
01:05:12The End
01:05:42How many made it?
01:06:02Twelve.
01:06:03Colin, C.P., Colin, C.P.
01:06:14McBride reporting.
01:06:16We're undercover about 50 yards from the radio station.
01:06:18I have 12 men left in my command.
01:06:20Waiting now for Lieutenant Browning to appear on left flank.
01:06:24We're under heavy fire and the station seems to be held in force.
01:06:31McBride.
01:06:32Morning, McBride.
01:06:32Come in, McBride.
01:06:46Where's transport?
01:06:47He's back checking on the hospital marketing job, sir.
01:06:49Listen in on this.
01:06:51Yes, sir.
01:06:55Saturday afternoon, isn't it?
01:06:57If we were back home, we'd be getting time and a half for this.
01:06:59At a buck sixty.
01:07:00How much does that make?
01:07:02I haven't seen figures like that since I got my serial number.
01:07:05Well, what do we spend it on if we had it?
01:07:07I know what I'd spend it on if I was home.
01:07:10First, I'd call Bubbles.
01:07:12Oh, what a day.
01:07:14Oh, well, forget it.
01:07:16I wonder what we're going to have for a chow tonight.
01:07:19It's a century-day fried chicken.
01:07:20Hey, Joe, what do you say we go on a strike?
01:07:22Do that, you knuckleheads!
01:07:24Meanwhile, get this job done before the little sons of the rise in the sun catch you with your tails in the breeze.
01:07:30Okay, you big bureaucrat, you.
01:07:32You know, transport, I think the colonel's a bit tetched with the heat sticking this flag up here.
01:07:37We know we're Americans.
01:07:38Listen, Rembrandt, the colonel knows what he's doing all the time.
01:07:42Now get to work before I hit you with a bucket of paint!
01:07:45Transport?
01:07:46Yes, sir.
01:07:47Coming, sir.
01:07:52McBride stopped.
01:07:53Radio out.
01:07:53He's just off the road, 50 yards aside the station.
01:07:56Hustle on down as close as you can and get a report.
01:07:58Aye, aye, sir.
01:07:58Transport.
01:07:59Yes, sir.
01:08:00Mind, I want you back.
01:08:01Make us happy.
01:08:03I'll be back, sir.
01:08:15Where's that support?
01:08:17Better come up quick before the japs spread out on our flank.
01:08:20I'll be back.
01:08:50Hey, what are you doing here?
01:08:59Why ain't you up with your outfit?
01:09:00The boys are stuck at the radio station.
01:09:02So what?
01:09:03So good old Dubuque here is carrying us over for a touchdown.
01:09:05I got you, Kazurowski.
01:09:07Here's my rifle.
01:09:08Hold on to your hat.
01:09:14Okay, Kazurowski.
01:09:15Here I go.
01:09:16All right.
01:09:20Well, it looks like we're pinned down here for a while.
01:09:30The Lord fights on the side of the right.
01:09:34I hope so, Harbison.
01:09:35I hope so, Harbison.
01:13:51Water.
01:14:06Water.
01:14:21All right, boys.
01:14:23Please hurry up.
01:14:51There you come, ladies.
01:15:10We're having it.
01:15:12Get it.
01:15:15Get it.
01:15:20Get it.
01:15:27Get it.
01:15:35There you go.
01:15:40All right.
01:15:44All right.
01:15:49I get it now, Joe.
01:16:11What's that, Hank?
01:16:12The Colonel had us paint that flag up there knowing the Japs had blasted.
01:16:15Now we're just drawing those monkeys in, see?
01:16:17It's a little spooky. You're out of the way, sir.
01:16:19Oh.
01:16:47Let's go.
01:17:17Let's go.
01:17:47Let's go.
01:17:48Don't shoot, Marine.
01:17:49Leave him out.
01:17:50Don't shoot.
01:17:51Hold it.
01:17:52Don't shoot, please.
01:17:53We surrender.
01:17:54I think we ought to riddle them anyway.
01:17:55No, don't kill them when they're willing to surrender.
01:17:56They know when they've been linked.
01:17:57They know when they've been linked.
01:17:58Maybe.
01:17:59They know when they've been linked.
01:18:00Maybe.
01:18:01Maybe.
01:18:02Did you get them?
01:18:03Did you get them, Rube?
01:18:04Did you get them?
01:18:05Rube?
01:18:06I got them.
01:18:07I got them.
01:18:08I got them.
01:18:09I got them.
01:18:10I got them.
01:18:11Thy will.

01:19:11Colonel Thorwald, sir. Ship calling.
01:19:29Thorwald speaking.
01:19:31Colonel, radio intelligence indicates Jap task force, 165 magnetic.
01:19:36Speed 16 knots.
01:19:38Answered.
01:19:39I understand. Very well.
01:19:41We'll step up operations. Roger.
01:19:44Chris.
01:19:45Intelligence reports a strong Japanese task force headed this way.
01:19:48How long before they get here?
01:19:50Sometime tonight.
01:19:51They must complete all operations and be back on the subs before they arrive.
01:19:55I want you to take the demolition squad and destroy any installations left on the island,
01:19:59leaving nothing which would be of use to the enemy.
01:20:01Aye, sir.
01:20:02Colonel, Colonel.
01:20:03Yes, sir.
01:20:04Browning.
01:20:05I want you to take your men around to the lagoon and get ready for us to embark as soon as possible.
01:20:09Aye, aye, sir.
01:20:10All right, boys.
01:20:11All those who were able to travel will shut off.
01:20:22All right, now, take your men put enough under those oil tanks to blow up the whole field.
01:20:25Ah, sir.
01:20:30Gunner.
01:20:31We will follow him in contact.
01:20:36Yes, sir.
01:20:37You see him passport?
01:20:38Yes, sir.
01:20:39He wont be going back with us, sir.
01:20:48Colonel Thorwals, sir.
01:20:51Colonel Thorwals?
01:20:52Captain Dunphy's calling.
01:21:00Yes, Captain Dunphy.
01:21:01Where are your men, Colonel?
01:21:03Have they left the beach?
01:21:05Latest intelligence reveals enemy destroyers approaching full speed.
01:21:10Will arrive sooner than anticipated.
01:21:13Can you hurry it up, Colonel?
01:21:15We are proceeding as rapidly as possible, Captain.
01:21:17Most of the force is on the way.
01:21:18The rest of us are preparing to leave now.
01:21:22Attention all NCOs.
01:21:25Boys, it's imperative that we evacuate the wounded at once.
01:21:28Let's go.
01:21:31The tender care given our wounded by the natives is born of sympathy and kindness and a share in a common cause.
01:21:38But behind us, 30 of the 2nd Raider Battalion have died for an ideal.
01:21:44We must live it.
01:21:52All right, Kurt.
01:21:53Let's go.
01:22:09Everything taken care of, sir.
01:22:11Tell us your men have placed all charges.
01:22:13Corporal Toll and Squad will set them off as soon as we leave the island.
01:22:15Good.
01:22:16All right, boys.
01:22:16You've got to shove over at once.
01:22:17Move out.
01:22:24What's up, Frankie?
01:22:27How are you coming?
01:22:28Okay, sir.
01:22:30You had me worried for a while.
01:22:32Anything I can do for you?
01:22:33Yeah.
01:22:35Tell me.
01:22:36When do we go to Tokyo?
01:22:40That's a military secret.
01:22:42Come on.
01:22:43Let's get them aboard.
01:22:44Take it easy.
01:23:13Come on.
01:23:39Next force is this landing party with stretcher cases.
01:23:41Let's get you ready for a while.
01:23:43Let's get up.
01:23:43Let's go.
01:23:43Let's get up.
01:23:44Let's go.
01:23:52Let's get it easy.
01:23:57Let's go.
01:24:08Let's go.
01:24:09Let's go.
01:24:09Let's go!
01:24:11Stand by to get underway.
01:24:22Stand by to get underway.
01:24:30Find your stations.
01:24:41All right, men. Hit the deck.
01:24:58Men!
01:25:02It may seem too soon the talk of the Macon Island Raid is finished.
01:25:05When we're seven days from home, the Jap war ships are closing in on us.
01:25:08But I'll take that chance.
01:25:11Raiders, you have shown the way.
01:25:14Whatever anyone may do in the days ahead,
01:25:16this was the first offensive action to be carried out.
01:25:20Our victory, however, has not been without the loss of men who were like brothers to us.
01:25:25But what of the future for those of us who remain?
01:25:30Our course is clear.
01:25:32It is for us at this moment, with the memory of the sacrifice of our brothers still fresh,
01:25:36to dedicate again our hearts, our minds, and our bodies to the great task that lies ahead.
01:25:42We must go further and dedicate ourselves also to the monumental task of assuring that the peace which follows this Holocaust will be a just, equitable, and conclusive peace.
01:25:54And beyond that, lies the mission of making certain that the social order which we bequeath to our sons and daughters is truly based on freedom, all which these men have.
01:26:05Ooh!
01:26:16Ooh!
01:26:17Ooh!
01:26:18THE END
