00:00:05November 12th, 1944.
00:00:08My ship, the Big E, was putting into Pearl for refueling.
00:00:12We just plastered the nips at Luzon and Lady, and we were going back to give them more
00:00:16when I got the order to report to Sacco headquarters.
00:00:20Nobody knew much about Sacco then, except that it was big and secret,
00:00:24and they seemed to get what they wanted when they wanted it.
00:00:27Right now, they wanted me.
00:00:30Yours truly, Sam McHale, Chief Boson's mate, Carrier Enterprise.
00:00:37Okay, Chief, they're expecting you.
00:00:39Thanks.
00:00:46McHale, sir.
00:00:47Oh, I'm glad to see you, McHale.
00:00:48Thank you, sir.
00:00:49This is Lieutenant Commander Wyatt.
00:00:51How do you do, sir?
00:00:51How do you do?
00:00:52Commander Wyatt has just arrived from Stateside.
00:00:55He's volunteered for a tough job.
00:00:56He needs a seasoned CPO to help him do it.
00:00:58Yes, sir.
00:01:00The commander's a meteorologist from Caltech.
00:01:01He's one of the best.
00:01:02In other words, a weatherman.
00:01:03I see.
00:01:04This thing is top secret, McHale.
00:01:06You'll be briefed early on it later.
00:01:07But right now, we can give you the general idea.
00:01:10Commander Wyatt is going to head up an expeditionary weather unit in the Gobi Desert.
00:01:15The Gobi Desert?
00:01:16Mm-hmm.
00:01:17And from the check we've made, he couldn't get a better foreman than Chief Boson's mate, Sam McHale.
00:01:21Oh.
00:01:23Well, I appreciate the compliment, sir.
00:01:25But if you're thinking of me for anything but sea duty, well, sir, I'm the original blackhead.
00:01:31I ain't worth two cents unless I got a deck under my feet.
00:01:34As a matter of fact, I never got past the sixth grade.
00:01:36Well, in that case, you and Commander Wyatt ought to make a good team.
00:01:39He has five degrees.
00:01:41Oh.
00:01:43But, uh, but my, my ship, sir, you see, she's pulling out in the morning.
00:01:46Your ship, McHale, and every ship in the fleet is dependent on the work Commander Wyatt will be doing.
00:01:50You've heard of SACCO, haven't you?
00:01:52Yes, sir.
00:01:52A little, sir.
00:01:53SACCO is Sino-American combined operations, a priority.
00:01:56Now, one part of it, and a very vital part, is weather.
00:01:59As a carrier man, McHale, you want to know what accurate weather forecasts mean to our sea and airstrikes?
00:02:03Yes, of course I do, sir.
00:02:04But you see, my ship is...
00:02:05For a while, we were losing more planes to weather than we were to the enemy.
00:02:08The situation required desperate measures.
00:02:11SACCO has taken them.
00:02:13We put together a lash-up across the face of China and Mongolia.
00:02:16Small expeditionary forces flowing in, supplied by air, for one purpose.
00:02:21To assemble weather observations, relay them to Central Command,
00:02:25which coordinates a forecast for the whole Pacific Theater.
00:02:29Right now, we have five units functioning.
00:02:31August 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
00:02:35Commander Wyatt's unit will be August 6, up here in Cheng-Wan Oasis in Inner Mongolia.
00:02:40The crew of August 6 is made up of young men, especially trained for just one job.
00:02:45Getting the weather and sending it.
00:02:47What we need in addition, McHale, is a watchdog.
00:02:50As soon as they started to butter me, I could feel the deck of the Enterprise sliding out from under
00:02:54my feet.
00:02:55Top secret.
00:02:56A priority.
00:02:57That's always the pitch.
00:02:59Watchdog my neck.
00:03:01Wet nurse, he meant.
00:03:03Wet nurse to a bunch of balloon chasers in Inner Mongolia, which is different from Outer Mongolia,
00:03:08only because it's hotter, drier, sandier, and inner.
00:03:12Take it from me, brother, the Gobi Desert wasn't for sailors, it was for lizards.
00:03:16And after six months of fighting the Battle of Argus VI,
00:03:20six months of balloons and barometers,
00:03:22and sand that never stopped blowing,
00:03:25I'd have given half my retirement pay for just one whiff of salt water.
00:03:37Well, why do they call it a theater of war?
00:03:40A theater's a place where you see shows or movies in, ain't that right?
00:03:43Tony asked too many questions.
00:03:44If I don't ask questions, how can I learn?
00:03:46Is that right, Mac?
00:03:47Right.
00:03:48There you go, boy.
00:03:50Hey, that's a good boy.
00:03:51Hey, Walt, look, I got this Javour train.
00:03:54He's eating sea rations.
00:03:55He ain't trained, he's crazy.
00:03:57Hey, this newscast from Chongqing reports we've landed troops on Okinawa.
00:04:00What do you know?
00:04:01Boy, I'll bet they're giving that island a business.
00:04:04Hey, your ship's on that, isn't it, Mac?
00:04:05Of course it is, the biggies and everything, right, Mac?
00:04:08Yeah, yeah.
00:04:10Hey, Swenson, this your flyball form?
00:04:13Yeah.
00:04:14How about your entries over here, in here?
00:04:16Well, the sailor's blown through.
00:04:17Don't give me that, you lazy swab.
00:04:19If I catch any more forms half-filled, I'll give you something to yelp about.
00:04:27Seating him.
00:04:28Three guesses.
00:04:29What the devil's keeping the skipper?
00:04:30We got the 1400 report in ten minutes.
00:04:32Send it without him.
00:04:33He's got to okay it.
00:04:34What for?
00:04:35It's only a lousy six-hourly.
00:04:36Why, it's the skipper of this detachment.
00:04:37Anything that goes out, goes out over his signature.
00:04:39That's forms.
00:04:40McHale, you'd fill out a form to duck a bullet.
00:04:45Listen, bright boy, I've been in this man's navy for 16 years.
00:04:49I don't know anything about theodolites or slide rules, and I don't know what I'm doing
00:04:53here wiping noses for a bunch of jokers like you.
00:04:56But there's one thing I do know.
00:04:58The navy means form.
00:05:00All reports are signed by the officer in charge, filed by me.
00:05:03All decisions are made by the officer in charge, carried out by me.
00:05:07That's the way it was on shipboard.
00:05:08That's the way it's going to be here.
00:05:10Sing us a sea channy, will you, Mike?
00:05:12Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum.
00:05:15Okay, okay, knock it off.
00:05:17But just remember, when that relief plane gets here, there ain't nobody back at HQ
00:05:21going to be able to glom on to any mistakes made by yours truly, Sam McHale.
00:05:25June the 20th.
00:05:26Happy day.
00:05:27You want to know something?
00:05:29I've been smoothing a spot out there with my bare hands for that plane to land.
00:05:34Oh, boy.
00:05:35Only three weeks.
00:05:36Hey, Walt, why don't we put a nice big red circle around June the 20th?
00:05:40Lay off that couch.
00:05:41Oh, come on, come on.
00:05:41It's been a January ever since we've been here.
00:05:43I happen to like January.
00:05:45I like it myself.
00:05:47Only June has so much more to offer.
00:05:49That's what you think.
00:05:51Believe me, I've been thinking.
00:05:55Skipper, what happened?
00:05:56Clumsiest thing, I slipped climbing an outcropping and fell against a rock.
00:06:00Lucky thing, Elwood happened along.
00:06:02Well, that didn't exactly happen along, sir.
00:06:03Mac sent me.
00:06:04Good old Mac, huh?
00:06:06Thinks of everything, even the absent-minded professor.
00:06:09Hand me that first aid, kid.
00:06:11It's nothing, Mac.
00:06:13Nothing alongside of what I accomplished today.
00:06:15Would you believe it?
00:06:16I stood smack in the center of a Gobi wind devil.
00:06:19Checked its temperature and traced its whole pattern.
00:06:21That 1,400 report's right in back of you, sir.
00:06:23We're due in about three minutes.
00:06:25Hasn't it been encoded yet?
00:06:26No, sir.
00:06:27It's waiting for your okay.
00:06:28Send it off, Mac.
00:06:29For heaven's sake.
00:06:30You don't need my initials for everything.
00:06:32Well, you're the skipper, sir.
00:06:33Those reports have to be filed over your signature.
00:06:35Oh, very well.
00:06:37Guess that'll do for now.
00:06:38I'll dress it later.
00:06:40Okay, you sparks crank up for the 1,400.
00:06:42Thank you, sir.
00:06:43Here it is, Walt.
00:06:43Ride it up.
00:06:46Northwest 6 and scattered.
00:06:49Pressure 268.
00:06:51Temperature 92.
00:06:57Visibility 1 mile in blowing sand.
00:07:00Clouds low 1, middle 7.
00:07:02That sound okay, sir?
00:07:03Okay, Mac.
00:07:04You got it, Landis?
00:07:05Right.
00:07:05We're on.
00:07:06Here you go, Jake.
00:07:07Right.
00:07:09All right.
00:07:14That night, a message came in from Top Argus marked secret and urgent.
00:07:18While I was unscrambling it, Argus 6 was in headquarters tent trying to keep from being blown out of Mongolia.
00:07:23Hey, how do they name ships, anyway?
00:07:26Here's a picture of the carrier Lexington.
00:07:28That's a battle.
00:07:28Here's a picture of the carrier Wasp.
00:07:30That's a bug.
00:07:31It don't make sense.
00:07:33Neither does this desert.
00:07:34Furnace by day and refrigerator by night.
00:07:37I guess destroyers are named after people.
00:07:39This one's called the USS Harding.
00:07:41You don't have to worry, Coney.
00:07:43They'll never name a ship after you.
00:07:45Be some ship, wouldn't it?
00:07:47The USS Cohen.
00:07:50Hey, I got something to tell you.
00:07:52That message tonight from Top Argus was an alert.
00:07:55We've been warned there's Jap cavalry in the desert.
00:07:57Cavalry?
00:07:58Yeah, it seems like the nips have been getting hit where it hurts.
00:08:00They figure you guys are responsible.
00:08:02Oh, we're a thousand miles from nowhere.
00:08:04A camel couldn't get this far.
00:08:06Well, anyway, first thing tomorrow, we're making a check of defensible positions.
00:08:09What are we going to defend them with, barometers?
00:08:12We got some weapons.
00:08:13We can requisition more.
00:08:14You don't think there's any danger, do you, Mac?
00:08:18Buck up, Coney.
00:08:19Any nips to drop around in this weather, you can keep the joint.
00:08:22Hey, toss me some beans, will you, Elwood?
00:08:24I'll have two cards.
00:08:25Give me two of your best.
00:08:27How about yours?
00:08:28I'll play these.
00:08:41Chaps, take it easy.
00:08:45They're Mongols.
00:08:56Welcome to Argus Six.
00:08:59My name's McHale, United...
00:09:06My name's McHale, United States Navy.
00:09:11McHale, Chief, U.S. Navy.
00:09:15Me, Chief.
00:09:16Chief King, too.
00:09:19You, missionary?
00:09:20No, no, no, navy.
00:09:23Navy.
00:09:25Navy.
00:09:26Ships.
00:09:28You got it?
00:09:29No, missionary?
00:09:30No.
00:09:32Use grass?
00:09:33What?
00:09:33He wants to know if we use grass.
00:09:35Oh, no, no, no, we don't use grass.
00:09:38Hurrah, hurrah.
00:09:39Bitomore.
00:09:40Throw down my own duck.
00:09:41Couldomore.
00:09:42Game on your skin.
00:09:43Good girl, good girl.
00:09:52Mother, yeah, good.
00:10:08Hey, they're gonna camp on the oasis. What do we do?
00:10:12What do you suggest we do? Scare them off with balloons?
00:10:15Suppose they're bandits. I read about Mongol bandits.
00:10:18They bury up your neck in sand and let ants devour you.
00:10:20You guys sit tight. I'm gonna report this to the old man.
00:10:23Jenkins monitored the radio, set up a 24-hour watch. I'll be right back.
00:10:26All right.
00:10:27Don't forget, don't none of you guys eat any grass.
00:10:31No matter how bad the sea rations get.
00:11:03Hey, cut that out. Grass.
00:11:08Oh, sorry.
00:11:09Come on, guys, snap it up. Get rolling on that fire and snap it up.
00:11:28Boy, they sure can't handle that fishing pole.
00:11:31Yeah. Bareback, too.
00:11:34You know, I've been thinking, we're all in the same oasis.
00:11:37If the Japs attack, those Mongols are in the same boat as we are.
00:11:40What are you drooling about, Jenkins?
00:11:42Cavalry.
00:11:43You mean I'm characters?
00:11:45Yeah.
00:11:46Yeah, why not? My old man was in the cavalry for 30 years. I know a cavalryman when I see
00:11:51one.
00:11:51Did you ever hear of Genghis Khan, Sabatello?
00:11:54Genghis what?
00:11:55Genghis Khan, a Mongol who conquered just about half the world from the quarterdeck of one of those horses.
00:12:00Well, all right, quit daydreaming, will you? Let's go. Come on, move it, Jenkins.
00:12:05Cavalry.
00:12:07Them guys look like they'd just as soon eat us for breakfast.
00:12:10Come on, let me go.
00:12:18I don't know, but it looks like they're gonna lynch him or something.
00:12:20Say the word.
00:12:21He wasn't doing anything.
00:12:22Put that away.
00:12:22It's just a camera.
00:12:23And don't move.
00:12:30It's a camera.
00:12:31Dr. Vine.
00:12:31What's the trouble here?
00:12:32Gee whiz, Mac, I was just taking some pictures and must have thought I was trying to shoot him or
00:12:35something.
00:12:36Relax, kid.
00:12:38You fellas have got the wrong idea.
00:12:41We're friends.
00:12:43You understand?
00:12:45Friends.
00:12:47This is only a camera, see?
00:12:50It's to make pictures.
00:12:52Like this.
00:13:25Kang Tu, you examine it.
00:13:28There's no harm in a camera.
00:13:35mongols not understand strange people
00:13:46wow that's the closest we've been to war in six months i didn't think they were so touchy
00:13:50you better stay in your own backyard elwood oh that king too is sure a tough hombre it ain't

00:14:12they're beefing about us okay get some more plugs from the dump and start an inventory check
00:14:18the rest of you get back to work on that gun emplacement looks like we might be needing it
00:14:23for something besides japs poor mac there's no form for this he's liable to have a nervous
00:14:30breakdown like pavlon's dogs what pavlon a scientist who proved that even animals break down when they
00:14:38have to face circumstances they can't comprehend another scare like that you can tell those dogs
00:14:43to move over but somehow that business with the camera seemed to change things because the next
00:14:50morning king too showed up on our side of the oasis and emptied his tribe's pockets
00:14:54one two kit with canvas cover six cans of sea ration one coffee pie two ball peen hammers

00:16:53men i'm sorry to have to tell you relief's been postponed
00:16:58postponed
00:16:59enemy pressure has forced top august to move to chung king
00:17:03when they're settled they promise to try and put together a replacement unit
00:17:07right now
00:17:08well i guess we're the varsity varsity
00:17:12i feel like the class of 88
00:17:14what are we supposed to do hang around the japs come galloping in
00:17:18i know what this means to all of you
00:17:19i guess you'll just have to grit your teeth and stick it out
00:17:23top august is aware of the spot for him
00:17:25but apparently they feel we're protected from immediate danger by our remoteness
00:17:29at any rate they promise to do anything to help us hold out
00:17:33any weapons we need anything within reason they'll try to get to us
00:17:38i guess that's all
00:17:41unless you have something to add mac
00:17:45no sir i got nothing to add
00:17:47what do you think we ought to requisition
00:17:49i mean just in case
00:17:54well sir from the looks of this outfit we couldn't fight off a swarm of gnats let alone japs on
00:17:58horseback
00:17:59but jenkins here brought up something the other day
00:18:02about getting them mongols to help defend the oasis
00:18:05i kind of got a hunch they'd make pretty good fighting men
00:18:08if we could get them on our side
00:18:10you're not serious are you mac
00:18:11why should they fight for us
00:18:13i don't know sir
00:18:15but the way they've been mooning over this thing
00:18:18i figure it might be a pretty good persuader
00:18:21that trinket
00:18:21no not this sir i mean the real mccoy
00:18:24a bunch of genuine high grade leather saddles
00:18:27saddles
00:18:28how are we going to get saddles in the middle of the goby
00:18:31top argus said they'd give us anything within reason
00:18:33yeah if they aren't just sounding off
00:18:34they ought to get the brass to come across
00:18:36i'll bet there's a whole flock of old cavalry saddles
00:18:38just gathering dust back in the states
00:18:40there sure ain't no harm in asking
00:18:41what have we got to lose
00:18:42i think it's a great idea sir
00:18:43to angle a saddle in front of those babies
00:18:45we'll have meat right out of our hands
00:18:47well if the mongols can be persuaded to help defend the oasis
00:18:50i see nothing wrong with some kind of lend lease
00:18:52the big question mark is king too
00:18:54well that's your guy to talk back out about it
00:18:56yeah after all it's protocol
00:18:59king too chief mikhail chief
00:19:01they're gonna think we're stir crazy back at headquarters
00:19:04who ever heard of saddles for the navy
00:19:26what's he saying now sir
00:19:28he's saying they're not at war with the japs
00:19:31we are why should they incur the enmity of a powerful foe
00:19:35harb bison
00:19:41maybe chief wish to speak more

00:28:11Where are they taking them?
00:28:13Out in the desert.
00:28:14They don't bury their dead.
00:28:15They just leave them exposed.
00:28:17Exposed?
00:28:18You mean for the dogs and the vultures?
00:28:20That's a general idea.
00:28:21If the body isn't picked clean in a few days,
00:28:23he's supposed to have led a bad life.
00:28:28You come.
00:28:29Ring on.
00:28:30Huh?
00:28:31He needs your trumpet to frighten off the demons.
00:28:35Go ahead, Cody.
00:28:55Okay, let's get going.
00:28:57Sabatello, Jenkins, see if you can get those radios working.
00:29:00Let me know as soon as you contact Chung King.
00:29:02Landers, you may got a report on damage.
00:29:03Right.
00:29:04Swenson, Halsey, let's take a look at that supply dump.
00:29:06O'Bridge, let's shoot.
00:29:24Also, let's go.
00:29:25You may have no XP.
00:29:25You may have no shield.
00:29:27You may have no mercury you going.
00:29:48Oh, you and your calendar.
00:29:52Took an air raid to put it at the right month.
00:29:54I still like January.
00:29:56Wonder what McHale's gonna do with the skipper dead.
00:29:58He's been doing every five minutes since we buried him.
00:30:01Eating my tail out to raise Chung King.
00:30:04At least you've got orders, Jenkins.
00:30:05That's a lot more than McHale has.
00:30:08Hey, what kind of a clam bake is this?
00:30:10Haven't you fixed that thing yet?
00:30:11Oh, there isn't a chance, Mac.
00:30:13We can spit down there as far as we can send.
00:30:16All right, keep at it.
00:30:17Keep at what?
00:30:18You're a radio man, ain't you?
00:30:20If Marconi invented it, you can fix it.
00:30:31Okay.
00:30:41I tell you, it's no soap, Mac.
00:30:43She's dead.
00:30:45807 shot.
00:30:46I can't fix it, and I haven't got a spare.
00:30:49Now what do we do?
00:30:51We got chow for about a week.
00:30:53Unless you guys can go for that boiled rattlesnake
00:30:56them Mongols, they...
00:30:57Maybe we ought to pull out, huh, Mac?
00:30:59Pull out?
00:31:00Where?
00:31:01Anywhere.
00:31:01Nips have got us spotted.
00:31:03We're like fish in a barrel.
00:31:04We could try to reach Argus 4.
00:31:06That's about 300 miles south.
00:31:08I ain't going for no hike in that desert.
00:31:10He's right.
00:31:10Maybe King 2 will lend us some horses.
00:31:12Oh, there's bound to be a relief plane
00:31:13as soon as Top Argus realizes we're silent.
00:31:16Yeah, suppose the Japs get here first.
00:31:18We still have the first Mongolian cavalry.
00:31:20Take a look out there.
00:31:22Am I crazy, or is that camp deserted?
00:31:28Well, how do you like that?
00:31:30The first sign of trouble, and they pull out.
00:31:32Them saddles sure did us a lot of good.
00:31:56All right.
00:31:58All right.
00:32:25all right you guys grab your socks on your feet rise and shine come on hit the deck you swabs

00:48:26It is I, in town.
00:48:30There's sleeplessness in the air tonight.
00:48:33The desert is full of sounds.
00:48:35I don't hear anything.
00:48:37Your ears are not attuned.
00:48:40Dried vellum strips of homie.
00:48:44A directable food.
00:48:46Taste one.
00:48:47No, no thanks.
00:48:48Nowhere in the world are the vellums like those of homie.
00:48:51Their drying process cannot be duplicated.
00:48:54Some say it is the climate.
00:48:57But perhaps it is the...
00:48:59Hey, Mac!
00:49:00Mac!
00:49:03Hit the deck!
00:49:04What's that?

00:49:10King Two.
00:49:18Yintang bad man.
00:49:20Cheat Mongols.
00:49:22Cheat navy.
00:49:23Sell camels many times over.
00:49:26Same camels.
00:49:27Oh, my aching throat.
00:49:30Well, looks like we owe the first Mongolian cavalry a vote of thanks.
00:49:34Did not do for thanks.
00:49:36For saddles.
00:49:38What?
00:49:39People sad to give up saddles.
00:49:42We talk over.
00:49:44Navy chiefs still wish help from Mongols.
00:49:46All the help we can get.
00:49:48Give order.
00:49:49Mongols obey.
00:49:51King Two, you just help us reach the sea, you can have the saddles.
00:49:55And 60 beautiful saddle blankets to go with them.
00:49:58We do.
00:50:00Thanks, pal.
00:50:03Rindo emulgabjo.
00:50:08It don't make sense.
00:50:09If they wanted the saddles, why didn't they just let those cookies knock us off and then take them?
00:50:13Stop it, Teller.
00:50:14You can think of more things to worry about.
00:50:16Well, I don't get it.
00:50:17And what I don't get, I don't like.
00:50:19Looks like you ain't been getting much lately.
00:50:23Brother.
00:50:24This looks like a lady's dressing room.
00:50:26Hey, Jenkins.
00:50:27Yeah?
00:50:27Get our gear together and turn it over to Mongols, will you?
00:50:29All right.
00:50:30Step on it, you guys.
00:50:31We gotta get moving.
00:50:32How does this kimono work?
00:50:33This way, Elwood.
00:50:36You gotta get that stuff off your bugle, too.
00:50:38Hey, Mac, I'm not beefing.
00:50:40What's the official rule about being caught out of uniform?
00:50:44We ain't gonna be caught.
00:50:46Yeah, but suppose we are.
00:50:47Look, do you guys wanna get out of this desert or do you wanna sit here and fry?
00:50:51King Two ain't gonna risk his men traveling with us in uniform.
00:50:54Oh, we wanna get out, Mac, but let's be sensible.
00:50:56Well, maybe we just ought to borrow seven horses and take off.
00:50:59Look, I've been trying to...
00:51:00How do you know you can trust this guy?
00:51:02Lost us once before.
00:51:04He just saved your stupid life, didn't he?
00:51:06Now, come on, you guys.
00:51:07Quit stalling around and get dressed.
00:51:08Quit acting like a bunch of phony broads.
00:51:10You guys can do whatever you wanna do.
00:51:13Me?
00:51:14I ain't getting out of this uniform.
00:51:17There's nothing in the book says I got to.
00:51:21Sabatello, this is an order.
00:51:24Strip.
00:51:24Not me, pal.
00:51:27Anybody wants this uniform, they gotta take it off of me.
00:51:31You heard him, boys.
00:51:36You heard him, boys.
00:52:06What do you suppose they'll do with those guys?
00:52:08Well, they may get off with five days.
00:52:11Five days?
00:52:11Yeah, hanging from a tree by their thumbs.
00:52:20You come.
00:52:26Ready, Navy Chief?
00:52:27Okay, pal, let's go.
00:52:29Gaga!
00:52:38There's one thing you can be sure of.
00:52:40King 2 or no King 2, on foot or on horse.
00:52:44If I'd known when we shoved off what it meant to cross Mongolia,
00:52:48I'd have stayed in Chang'an and taken our chances with the nips and the lizards.
00:52:52Or at least that's the way I felt until our pal, the Jap spotter,
00:52:55showed up again and went right by us like a hunting dog that had lost the scent.
00:52:58They went down the way out!
00:53:03Hey, knock it off, will ya?
00:53:05The voices can carry for miles in the desert.
00:53:07Who's gonna hear it?
00:53:08There's bound to be a Jap patrol on that buzzard's tail, so clam up!
00:53:31Japs, fixin' with the Mongols. Japs!
00:54:02AS THE COPY OF THE COPY OF THE PRIME
00:54:03Let's go!
00:54:36And the heat, it didn't beat down, it swam up.
00:54:41It floated off the ground like too much batter in a wath lion.
00:54:44It soon had us all half-bugs weaving in the saddle.
00:54:55Elwood! Hey, Mac!
00:55:01Elwood.
00:55:04Come on, kid. Come on. Snap out of it.
00:55:05I can't make it, Mac.
00:55:07Just stick with it, Elwood. You rest pretty soon.
00:55:10Kang Tu says we ought to be hit in the village.
00:55:13Come on, boy.
00:55:14Hey, Jinx, give us a hand.
00:55:16Okay. Come on, kid.
00:55:22He'll get us to the sea, all right.
00:55:24He'll get us there if it kills every one of us.
00:55:31Moral!
00:55:35As for Kang Tu, he didn't miss a trick.
00:55:38He paid no attention to the compass, but he always seemed to know exactly where he was headed.
00:55:42And when we ran into other nomad tribes, he was like a used car salesman trading our tired horses in
00:55:48on new ones.
00:55:49And a mortar dirt tie.
00:55:51Butchatcha dirt with the gray.
00:55:54Here you go.
00:55:54Good.
00:55:56He's beat, Mac.
00:55:57I don't think he can take another day.
00:55:59He'll do it. He's gotta do it.
00:56:02How about it, Elwood?
00:56:03You still in there pitching, ain't you, kid?
00:56:05Yeah, sure, Mac.
00:56:07I'm with you.
00:56:08Attaboy.
00:56:10We get fresh horses.
00:56:11Sleep tonight with friends.
00:56:13Then go on.
00:56:14Danger ahead.
00:56:15Beyond mountain China.
00:56:17China full of Japs.
00:56:23But we stayed lucky, for the moment anyway.
00:56:26And when we began to run into rice fields and coolies, and past the Great Wall, we knew we were
00:56:32in China.
00:56:35Sang-Qian, 30 Lee from coast.
00:56:39We go round.
00:56:40Kang-Tu, I'm for going into Sang-Qian.
00:56:43I know it's risky, but the Chinese are allies.
00:56:46Maybe we can contact Chung-King, let them know where we are.
00:56:50Maybe you could get us off your hands.
00:56:54We go in.
00:56:58We go in.
00:56:59Okay.
00:57:00Cover up, boys. We're marching through Georgia.
00:57:09We can go up again, so it's been here.
00:57:15We're marching throughievers.
00:57:18We're marching through Меня.
00:57:18Give me a thousand games.
00:57:18There you go.
00:57:18Aw alright that's all.
00:57:19No, there you go, man.?
00:57:25when can I? No,
00:57:28there you go! No.
00:57:28No there
00:57:28you go. No looking!
00:57:29No, there
00:57:29you go! No coming.
00:57:29жить. No there you
00:57:30go! Noinas.
00:57:31No there you
00:57:32go.
00:57:45Take a look around.
00:57:46See if you can find an official or a head man we can trust.
00:57:49We'll wait over there.
00:57:51I do.
00:57:56Boy, I like to drown slowly in the notion of beer.
00:58:00What I'd like is a brand new...
00:58:01Stow it.
00:58:24What kind of ceremony?
00:58:25What kind of...
00:58:48What kind of...
00:58:56What kind of...
00:59:13What kind of...
00:59:16What kind of...
00:59:18What kind of...
00:59:20What kind of...
00:59:32What kind of...
00:59:45What kind of...
00:59:47What kind of...
00:59:49What kind of...
01:00:11What kind of...
01:00:29What kind of...
01:00:30What kind of...
01:00:38What kind of...
01:00:41What kind of...
01:00:44What kind of...
01:00:46What kind of...
01:00:47What kind of...
01:00:49What kind of...
01:00:50What kind of...
01:01:16What kind of...
01:01:24What kind of...
01:01:26What kind of...
01:02:05They put us in a truck and convoyed us out of Sang Chin.
01:02:09And when the truck came out of the hills, I saw it.
01:02:13Sparkling and glistening, catching the rays of the sun.
01:02:16We'd made it.
01:02:18Argus Detachment 6, under the brilliant leadership of Sam McHale, had reached the sea as prisoners.
01:02:29Come on, lay off.
01:02:33Take it easy.
01:02:38All right, take it easy.
01:02:40All right.
01:02:49Come on.
01:02:51All right.
01:03:00Come on.
01:03:04Oh, my God.
01:03:04Come on.
01:03:04Oh.
01:03:06Oh, yeah.
01:03:07Oh, my God.
01:03:09Oh, yeah.
01:03:11Oh, yeah.
01:03:31You have had a huge journey, Sam.
01:03:34Yeah.
01:03:36How irritated for such epic trip to end as prisoners of Japanese.
01:03:40Such boldness, such heroics, deserves better fate.
01:03:46Fortunately, Japan is a civilized nation, Sam.
01:03:49We do not mistreat prisoners.
01:03:51We know all about weather teams in Gobi.
01:03:54We have already conquered four.
01:03:58All we wish, Sam, is to realize how many others also wear.
01:04:03Sorry, I can't help you.
01:04:06Sam, be comforted.
01:04:08You are not unclosing anything of vitality.
01:04:10We already have much of this information.
01:04:13Well, if you've already got it, why ask me?
01:04:16Small pieces to fit in place.
01:04:19Now, Sam, let us put our hair down, huh?
01:04:23Where are our other units?
01:04:25I don't know.
01:04:25The High Command never bothered to confide in me.
01:04:28You are lying!
01:04:29Speak!
01:04:30My name is Samuel T. McHale.
01:04:32Serial number 5640672.
01:04:35Chief Boson's mate in the United States Navy.
01:04:38Navy, huh?
01:04:41Hmm.
01:04:43Strange suiting for American Navy.
01:04:46Well, our uniforms wore out.
01:04:48We stole these outfits.
01:04:50How do I know this?
01:04:51You seem to know everything else about us.
01:04:53I've changed my mind.
01:04:54I confess to ignorance.
01:04:56I know only that we have captured seven Americans wearing Mongol suiting in Japanese-held territory.
01:05:03What do you get, Nat?
01:05:05Under the rules of Geneva...
01:05:07Now, look.
01:05:07Our uniforms wore out, I tell you.
01:05:09I made my men change.
01:05:11I ordered them to.
01:05:12You got that?
01:05:12I ordered them.
01:05:13I know nothing.
01:05:15You know we're American sailors.
01:05:17What are American sailors doing in the desert?
01:05:19We were sending weather reports from neutral territory.
01:05:22Who else was sending these reports?
01:05:23Where are they?
01:05:24How many are left?
01:05:25You talk.
01:05:26You talk.
01:05:26You tell us all about Weather Team.
01:05:27My name is Samuel Team McHale.
01:05:35Here he comes.
01:05:44How'd it go?
01:05:45What's going to happen to us, Mac?
01:05:47We are prisoners of war, aren't we?
01:05:53We're spies.
01:05:58Have you focused on working police officers all around you?
01:06:03Well...
01:06:11Ah, quit eating yourself, Mac.
01:06:13Anybody can guess wrong.
01:06:17Yeah, nobody's blaming you.
01:06:20Who says we ain't?
01:06:21This whole screwball scheme was his idea.
01:06:24Playing ball with them Mongols, putting on these outfits.
01:06:27We're spies, got that?
01:06:29Spies.
01:06:29We're going to be lined up against the wall and shot.
01:06:33Sabatello, what I like about you is your colorful speech.
01:06:37Yeah.
01:06:38Why don't you write a book?
01:06:40You could call it How I Became a Crud.
01:06:50Hey, it's a Navy officer.
01:06:56It's Harpo.
01:06:57Where'd he get the outfit?
01:06:59It's a Lieutenant Commander's.
01:07:00Hey, it's Wyatt's uniform, the good one.
01:07:02The skipper was missing.
01:07:03You poor dumb joker.
01:07:06Didn't you know they'd pick you up wearing this?
01:07:11King Tu.
01:07:12King Tu.
01:07:14Did King Tu send you?
01:07:16Huh?
01:07:17Did he send you?
01:07:18King Tu.
01:07:19King Tu das Alain.
01:07:21Now, wait a minute.
01:07:22Is King Tu here?
01:07:23Is he around here somewhere?
01:07:38What's that?
01:07:39I don't know.
01:07:41King Tu.
01:07:43A boat.
01:07:44King Tu has a boat.
01:07:45That's it.
01:07:46Where is it?
01:07:46Where is boat?
01:07:47Where is it?
01:07:49Sunny Hargisgarna.
01:07:51Hargisgarna?
01:07:51Where's that?
01:07:52It's anybody's guess.
01:07:54Boat.
01:07:55Where?
01:07:55Where boat?
01:08:00My wristwatch.
01:08:04He's pointing at 12 o'clock.
01:08:06That's midnight.
01:08:07No, you keep it, Wally.
01:08:10What about 12 o'clock?
01:08:11Midnight.
01:08:12What about it?
01:08:14Well, here we go again.
01:08:17Holy smokes.
01:08:18What's that?
01:08:19Those could be clouds.
01:08:21Yeah.
01:08:22Could be.
01:08:22What are the lines for?
01:08:24Rain.
01:08:24King Tu says it's going to rain tonight, right?
01:08:26Rain.
01:08:27Good.
01:08:28That's right.
01:08:28Sure.
01:08:28All over when.
01:08:30What's this?
01:08:31Fly?
01:08:31We're to escape at midnight in the rain.
01:08:33Oh, fine.
01:08:34Great.
01:08:35We'll just fly over all that barbed wire.
01:08:37Yeah, how about that, Wally?
01:08:38How are we going to cut our way through the wire?
01:08:40Cut.
01:08:40Wire.
01:08:41Cut.
01:08:41Here.
01:08:42Cut.
01:08:42Wire.
01:08:42How are we going to do it?
01:08:43Yeah, through there.
01:08:44Yeah, let's escape.
01:08:45That's it.
01:08:47What now?
01:08:48I don't know.
01:09:03Here it comes.
01:09:04Now, how could King Tu have predicted it?
01:09:06I didn't even know it would rain.
01:09:12Why didn't you want to get me to cutters?
01:09:14No.
01:09:19Let's go.
01:09:45Let's go.
01:10:38Let's go.
01:10:57Let's go.
01:11:00Why do they call this a junk?
01:11:02What else would you call it?
01:11:03Coney, Jenkins, man those sweeps right there.
01:11:05Let's go.
01:11:06Sabatello, Swenson, slip the forward lines.
01:11:08The forward lines right there.
01:11:10Landers, take the tiller.
01:11:11Tiller?
01:11:11The tiller, F.
01:11:12Oh.
01:11:13Hulls, pull the way in that line.
01:11:15All right.
01:11:15Let's go.
01:11:15Move it.
01:11:29I reckon this is a sweep.
01:11:31Are we going to have to row to Okanawa?
01:11:33Hey, Mac, what do you do with this overgrown ore?
01:11:36Here, hold it.
01:11:38Put it in the grommet like this.
01:11:39You know what?
01:11:39Grommet.
01:11:41There.
01:11:41There.
01:11:42Now, with your grips clear, dig in.
01:11:46Hey, Brinko, put it.
01:11:47Hey, America, dig in.
01:11:49Hey, America, dig in.
01:11:49Hey, look, look.
01:11:50Hey, look.
01:11:51Hey, look.
01:11:51Go, go.
01:11:52Go, go.
01:11:55Go, go.
01:11:57Go, go.
01:12:02Let's go.
01:12:14Well, look who's here.
01:12:23Japs have cannon.
01:12:24Navy have cannon, too.
01:12:26OK, boys, lend a hand here.
01:12:30Where do you suppose he got that thing?
01:12:32From in front of the city hall.
01:12:34Where else?
01:12:43We thought you tricked us.
01:12:45No tricked friends.
01:12:46Tricked Japs.
01:12:48Cannot get sheep through dens of wolves.
01:12:51Let wolves take sheep through.
01:12:53Yeah, well, your sheep ain't out of the woods yet, mate,
01:12:55but if we get through, you're going to be hearing from us.
01:12:57You better shove off now.
01:12:59We're liable to be spotted any second.
01:13:01Good luck to you.
01:13:10I said you better go.
01:13:12Jump off the boat, quick.
01:13:13Cannot.
01:13:14Japs all around.
01:13:15Catch Mongols.
01:13:17OK, stay on board.
01:13:18We'll drop you off along the coast somewhere.
01:13:20Better get your boys on board.
01:13:21Go, Gugara.
01:13:22Come on, get a board.
01:13:24Hey, Mac, this rope's stuck.
01:13:26Are we going to take those horses with us, too?
01:13:28That's right.
01:13:28The horses go with us.
01:13:31All right.
01:13:32Halsey, get on that sweep.
01:13:33Right.
01:13:33Landers, stand by the helm.
01:13:35Tabatello, go forward as lookout.
01:13:37All right, Swenson, get on here with me.
01:13:49All right.
01:13:50All right.
01:14:21Andi, lo sitten shan!
01:14:26When I was so problem, he virtually was the same one in the house,
01:14:40after he had reviewed the general
01:15:00Right rudder, right rudder.
01:15:09Ease up in those sweeps.
01:15:10I can't see ten feet ahead in this soup.
01:15:28What's that?
01:15:29Well, it ain't a new supermarket.
01:15:31If its bosses were sunk, we could not let a garbage scow in this tub.
01:15:46Give me a hand with this cannon.
01:15:48Cannon?
01:15:48Are you kidding?
01:15:50Ulysses says Grant wouldn't have used this hook of scrap iron.
01:15:53You think it still works, Mac?
01:15:54It better.
01:15:55We got the shot, but we need powder.
01:15:57King 2, have your men break open all the bullets they got.
01:16:00Coney, give them a hand.
01:16:02We need wad ink, too, and a ramrod.
01:16:04Halsey, you and Jenkins, take a look below.
01:16:05See what you can find.
01:16:06All right, step on it.
01:16:41Come on.
01:16:42Come on.
01:16:44Coney, where's that powder?
01:16:45Come on.
01:16:46It's coming, Mac.
01:16:46It's coming.
01:16:47Come on.
01:17:16Let me have those cannonballs.
01:17:18Wake up.
01:17:26All right, bring her around.
01:17:28She'll probably get a chance for just one shot, so it better be good.
01:17:39Got it?
01:17:40Yeah.
01:17:41I'm looking right down her throat.
01:17:47Stay with me, Mac.
01:17:48Hold it.
01:17:48Get your hands clear, everybody.
01:17:53Okay.
01:17:54Fire!
01:17:55Fire!
01:18:15We got him!
01:18:16Hit him right in the breadbasket!
01:18:20Hey, how about that?
01:18:22I feel like John Paul Jones.
01:18:24I guess you'd call this our first naval victory.
01:18:26Yeah.
01:18:27The question is, who took the worst beating?
01:18:29Wow.
01:18:32Coney.
01:18:33Hey, Coney boy.
01:18:49We'll bury him at sea, out of these waters.
01:18:54Coney.
01:19:00Kang Tu, I'm afraid you're gonna have to go the rest of the way with us.
01:19:02It's too risky to drop you off.
01:19:04Must get home to people.
01:19:06Have fight with Tomek.
01:19:07He take others back to Kobe.
01:19:09Make trouble.
01:19:09We'll get you home.
01:19:10I give you my word.
01:19:11We'll get you home if it takes an admiral's plane to do it.
01:19:19Sabatello, find some tools.
01:19:20Start repairing damage.
01:19:22Landers, what's our heading?
01:19:241-5-0.
01:19:25Bear left to 1-2-5.
01:19:28The rest of you guys bear a hand with these sails.
01:19:30Come on, look alive.
01:19:31Swenson, go forward.
01:19:33Get on those halyards.
01:19:34Take them off the cleats.
01:19:35Halyards, cleats...
01:19:35This is a halyard and this is a cleat.
01:19:38How am I supposed to know?
01:19:39I'm a weatherman.
01:19:40You'll be a sailor by the time we get to Okinawa.
01:19:43Come on, let's go.
01:19:47Eleven days and 600 miles later,
01:19:49we were spanking along under full sail,
01:19:51dead on course for Okinawa.
01:19:53I was proud of every kid on that bucket.
01:19:57They'd repaired the superstructure,
01:19:58patched sails, cleaned and scrubbed the decks.
01:20:01A month ago, they were a bunch of weathermen chasing balloons.
01:20:05Now they were sailors, sailors on a ship.
01:20:19Hey, it's a plane!
01:20:21Baby, hey!
01:20:22Hey!
01:20:24Hey!
01:20:30Let's go.
01:20:39Hold that tarp clear on the double.
01:20:45Get out of here, hush!
01:21:10A few days later, the war was over.
01:21:13Just a couple of days after that, an admiral's plane...
01:21:16Yeah, you heard me, an admiral's plane.
01:21:19Circled a grassy oasis in Inner Mongolia
01:21:22and headed in for a landing.
01:21:43No way.
01:21:44Oh, OK, Harpo.
01:21:45Pini, Hana, Harbaith!
01:21:47Whoa!
01:21:47Hey, wait!
01:21:48Wait!
01:22:12What are you doing, pinning on your medal?
01:22:14Well, uh, Wally asked me to wear it. You know, the Mongols, they put great store in these things.
01:22:20I won't tell anybody. Thanks.
01:22:24Hey, hey, hey, get your saddle blankets. Compliments to the United States Navy.
01:22:28They're free, only one for a customer. Here you are. Hello, Joe, what do you know? Here you are. Split
01:22:34it up.
01:22:36Hello, Nur-Salu. What do I know?
01:22:38A present. For you, a present. It's, it's an overnight bag. You know, when you travel from Oasis to Oasis.
01:22:48What are you doing? What are you doing?
01:22:52What are you doing?
01:22:53What are you doing?
01:22:57Wally, he tell them of Navy boat, big enough to carry iron birds that fly, and all Mongols of Gobi.
01:23:06Wally, he tell them of great Navy chief, Mikael.
01:23:13Oh, well, now, uh, now look, King Two, there's one thing you've got to get straight.
01:23:18I'm only a chief petty officer. I don't run the Navy. You make mistake.
01:23:24Not my mistake. Navy's mistake.
01:23:41The first Mongolian cavalry. What an outfit.
01:23:47What a leader. Yeah. He should have gotten the Navy cross, not me.
01:23:56Ha ha ha ha.
01:24:00.
01:24:02.
01:24:04.
01:24:04.
01:24:10You
