00:00:00THE END
00:00:30I've been waiting for a shot and kill.
00:00:32I've learned a strategy and to find my way.
00:00:36I've seen the breaking news every day.
00:00:39Ready, let's go!
00:00:43Shouting out the battle's right now to go.
00:00:54I've learned a strategy and to find my way.
00:00:58Fighting, we can win the 50 days.
00:01:02Ready, let's go!
00:01:06Shouting out the battle's right now to go.
00:01:09Let's go!
00:01:21Headquarters, Marine Corps Base, San Diego, California.
00:01:2515th of January, 1942.
00:01:28Subject, volunteers for a special battalion.
00:01:31A 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.
00:01:49We'll be assured of immediate active service.
00:01:51The work involves close combat with the enemy.
00:01:55And only those men who are prepared to kill or be killed should apply.
00:02:03Those who are accepted will be highly trained and will have every chance of survival.
00:02:09But it must be understood the work is above and beyond the line of duty.
00:02:15Before 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 Thorwald.
00:02:30Yes, sir.
00:02:31Why do you want to kill Japs?
00:02:34That'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.
00:02:39What I want to know is how would you feel now with a Jap coming at you with a bayonet?
00:02:42There he is.
00:02:43It's about as far away as that window.
00:02:44I'd feel right silly, Lieutenant Browning, sir.
00:02:49Down home in Kentucky, a feller ain't much of a shot less than he can hit a squirrel through the head.
00:02:53I don't see how anything as big as a Jap could get as close to 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?
00:03:03Lieutenant, what a feller tells you here won't be held against him, will it?
00:03:09He'll never go outside that door, Ted Rowe.
00:03:11Lieutenant, I've done it.
00:03:14A bunch of them Sheffield boys from Breather County found out I was sparking one of their gals.
00:03:19One night when I was visiting her, they snuck up around the cabin.
00:03:22The gals seen them just in time.
00:03:24I snuck out and in the dark I...
00:03:27That's all right, Ted Rowe.
00:03:29But I still don't know just why you want to get into this.
00:03:34Them Sheffields is in the war.
00:03:36Why, 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.
00:03:42My pappy'd wallop the daylights out of me, big as I am.
00:03:47What's your reason for joining up with the Raiders?
00:03:50Reason?
00:03:51Yeah, for wanting to join a breakneck gang like this.
00:03:54Why, with your schooling and background you could make officers training.
00:03:57In no time at all you'd be past where it's taken me years to get.
00:04:00Now what's the reason?
00:04:01I'd rather not say, sir.
00:04:04Doesn't my being here speak for itself?
00:04:06It does not.
00:04:07You'll give me a reason and a good one or stop wasting my time.
00:04:10There's nothing I'm ashamed of.
00:04:12Speaking of it may just defeat my purpose, that's all.
00:04:15Out with it.
00:04:16All right.
00:04:18I'm an ordained minister of the gospel.
00:04:22When I left theological college I entered the marines instead of seeking a church.
00:04:26Because 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.
00:04:36For there beside me will be the men who will need me most.
00:04:39I'm sorry, Mac.
00:04:41We 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.
00:04:56This regular battalion is a tough outfit, Mac.
00:04:59You don't look salty enough.
00:05:00Yeah, yeah, that's what they all say.
00:05:02Nobody gives me a break.
00:05:04Who?
00:05:05Who are you talking about?
00:05:06Who doesn't give you a break?
00:05:07Nobody 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.
00:05:12No good kid, huh?
00:05:14Where you from, Montana?
00:05:16No, no.
00:05:17Montana's my name.
00:05:18Frankie Montana.
00:05:19I'm from Brooklyn.
00:05:20I wish I was there right now.
00:05:21Oh, this Marine Corps is a bummer.
00:05:23Sit down.
00:05:25Cut out the rough stuff.
00:05:28I'll tell you when to go.
00:05:30Don't you ever again make a crack like that about the Marine Corps.
00:05:34Now what's your bellyache about?
00:05:36Spit it out.
00:05:37I got no squawk.
00:05:38What'd you do?
00:05:39Get pinched or something?
00:05:40Lie about it to get in the Marine?
00:05:41You tell me.
00:05:42You're a real toughie, aren't you?
00:05:44Okay, Frankie.
00:05:46But what I want to know is why did you volunteer for this job?
00:05:49You didn't have to.
00:05:50I told you.
00:05:51Everybody's always called me a no good kid.
00:05:53I got sick of it.
00:05:54Oh, I never did anything much.
00:05:56My old man, he wasn't my real father.
00:05:58Started shoving me around when I was little.
00:06:00I got sore.
00:06:01Wouldn't work.
00:06:02He 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?
00:06:11Take 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 in a little seaport town, Paris.
00:06:21You've probably never heard of it.
00:06:23What do you mean?
00:06:24Why, he's 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.
00:06:37Yeah, 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.
00:06:46Frankie, just because we're a couple of no good kids, I'm going to take a chance at it.
00:06:53Come on!
00:07:11Good morning, Sergeant Major! Is the old man busy?
00:07:13Never too busy to see you.
00:07:14Go on, in, Transport.
00:07:15Thanks.
00:07:21Transport!
00:07:22Transport! Colonel!
00:07:24Well, well, well, I had an idea you'd show up.
00:07:26Well, when I heard you was back, I just busted right in.
00:07:29That would have been so if you hadn't. Come on, sit down.
00:07:30Where was it last time, Manila?
00:07:32Oh, Colonel, you forgot! China! The ANSI patrol?
00:07:36Right, right. Well, you know, Transport, I wasn't on the River Long.
00:07:38Yeah, I know. And me and the rest of the old gang
00:07:41could hardly believe it when we heard you quit the Marines.
00:07:43Well, I felt bad about that, but I had to do it that way.
00:07:46I can talk about it now. You know where I went?
00:07:48We heard you were sick and went back to the States,
00:07:50but that didn't seem like you.
00:07:51Must have been a couple of Army guys.
00:07:55Where did you go, Colonel?
00:07:57I joined the Chinese Army.
00:07:59Are you kidding, sir?
00:08:00And not even the Chinese Marines.
00:08:02Oh, for?
00:08:04Well, I could see this war with Japan coming.
00:08:06You didn't have to look far for that.
00:08:08I realized that our first line of defense would be China,
00:08:11so I decided to find out just what her war potential was,
00:08:13just how long she could hold out.
00:08:16I joined the Chinese 8th Root Army.
00:08:18Remember that march they made during the Civil War?
00:08:20Almost 6,000 miles clear across the country?
00:08:23Was they Chinese in the Civil War?
00:08:25I thought there was General Sherman marching along to...
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...
00:08:44the guerrilla tactics of the 8th Army.
00:08:46This is right out of Shanghai.
00:08:48I made up my mind to find out about them.
00:08:50I couldn't go in uniform, so I went without.
00:08:53Plenty of fighting, eh, 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-maneuvered the Japs at every turn
00:09:02because they believed in what they were fighting for.
00:09:04Because every man had only one desire.
00:09:07To do his duty.
00:09:08Well, I learned a lot of things that are not in textbooks,
00:09:10and I came back to the States to tell about them.
00:09:12Then, Pearl Harbor, and here we go again.
00:09:15I don't ask for nothing better, sir.
00:09:18Transport, we're going to try out something new.
00:09:19Headquarters 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 you, huh?
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.
00:09:33As far as I'm concerned, you're okay.
00:09:35The rest is up to the Colonel.
00:09:37Good luck.
00:09:38Thank you, sir.
00:09:42Hey, there.
00:09:43Hey, wait a minute.
00:09:44Wait a minute.
00:09:44Get away with it.
00:09:47What 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,
00:09:56and he aced himself.
00:09:57Oh, what are you trying to do?
00:09:59Give me them papers.
00:10:04Hey.
00:10:05There's the same name on both of these.
00:10:08I'm Larry O'Ryan.
00:10:09My name's Kurt Richter.
00:10:10No, no.
00:10:10Where it says next of kin, it's the same.
00:10:13It says next of kin, Mrs. Molly Richter, mother.
00:10:17Mrs. Molly Richter, mother.
00:10:19How come?
00:10:20What is this?
00:10:21That's right, Gunner.
00:10:22We both have the same mother.
00:10:24Mom threw my father out when I was a baby and married his old man.
00:10:26A Dutchman.
00:10:27Can you imagine that?
00:10:28Why, his old man hadn't drawn a sober breath in ten years.
00:10:30Could you blame her?
00:10:31Cut it.
00:10:31Cut it.
00:10:33Now, you stand over there.
00:10:34And you stand over there.
00:10:36Now, tell me, you, uh...
00:10:40Richter.
00:10:42Why are you so bent on getting in ahead of him, and vice versa?
00:10:45You first.
00:10:46I enlisted to fight Japs.
00:10:48The sooner I get at it, the better.
00:10:49Wouldn't be just a grandstand play, would it?
00:10:52What do you mean?
00:10:53There's a girl.
00:10:55Who is she?
00:10:56Her name's Kathleen.
00:10:57You keep her out of this.
00:10:59Kathleen who?
00:11:00Kathleen Cardigan.
00:11:01It's a girl back in Boston.
00:11:03Her father's in the Marine barracks of the Navy Yard there.
00:11:05Quartermaster Sergeant Cardigan.
00:11:07What?
00:11:08Jim Cardigan's daughter?
00:11:10Why, she's a little baby.
00:11:11I bounced her on my knees in her second year at City College.
00:11:15No.
00:11:16Well, get on with it.
00:11:18Get 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, no, no.
00:11:22Hey, pipe down the both of you.
00:11:25It can't be going on all day like this.
00:11:27We'll toss for it.
00:11:29The loser goes to the end of the line.
00:11:31Why, here's a coin, sir.
00:11:33Thanks.
00:11:35Heads.
00:11:36Heads it is.
00:11:37You wait.
00:11:38And at the end of the line.
00:11:42Hey, wait a minute.
00:11:44Hey, wait a minute.
00:11:44Let me see that coin.
00:11:45Oh, no.
00:11:46All right, this one's got two heads on it.
00:11:47Why, I'm being sorry.
00:11:49I'm going to both have a young brother.
00:11:51I see you've been in the brig four times and always for the same thing, fighting.
00:11:55Well, you've got to be tough to be a Marine, sir.
00:11:57Them monkeys will run all over you if you ain't.
00:11:59You've also been in the ring.
00:12:00And what name did you fight under?
00:12:01Pig iron, sir.
00:12:02I was middleweight champion of East New Jersey once.
00:12:05Why'd they call you pig iron?
00:12:07Well, my old man had a little farm just outside of town.
00:12:10I used to go around collecting garbage, and the kids started calling me piggy.
00:12:13Well, I got pretty strong, even those cans around, so after a while, I started to beat the town kids up.
00:12:19Finally, they stopped calling it.
00:12:21Then when I started fighting, they called me pig iron, which I didn't mind.
00:12:25I'm beginning to understand your record, Matthews.
00:12:29You felt that people looked down on you on account of your job.
00:12:32When you found you could make them look up to you with your fists, you kept on using them.
00:12:36Now it's got to be second nature with you.
00:12:38You 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.
00:12:45I see.
00:12:45That's a lot in that, Matthews.
00:12:47But in the outfit that I'm forming, that's the first lesson to learn.
00:12:51That every man's job is important.
00:12:53Whether he carries a rifle, cooks in the galley, drives a truck, or works as a messman, it's the service that counts.
00:12:58Yes, sir.
00:12:59You'll do, Matthews.
00:13:02Just why did you volunteer for this raider battalion?
00:13:05My brother died at Pearl Harbor.
00:13:07They didn't find enough of them to bury.
00:13:09What caused you to volunteer for this raider battalion?
00:13:13I fought in Spain.
00:13:14I fought in Greece.
00:13:16This fight is all the same.
00:13:17Fascism.
00:13:18Why do you want to join this outfit?
00:13:20My sister was caught by the Japanese in Manila.
00:13:23We never heard a word from her.
00:13:25But we read in the newspapers what they did.
00:13:27Now what about you?
00:13:29Three years I've been a Marine.
00:13:30I haven't been in a fight yet.
00:13:32This is my chance.
00:13:34Why do you want to sign up?
00:13:36I just don't like Japs.
00:13:39Hey, in attention.
00:13:48Sir, the battalion is formed.
00:13:51Take your post.
00:13:55At ease.
00:13:58Sit down, boys, and make yourselves comfortable.
00:14:01The smoking lamp is lit.
00:14:02Let's go.
00:14:08Boys, this is our first get-together, but it won't be our last.
00:14:12You probably wonder what this is all about.
00:14:14Well, I can't tell you now. You'll learn as you go along.
00:14:17But I can say this.
00:14:19You are to receive a course of training unique in the history of the Marine Corps.
00:14:23If you justify the effort to be spent on you,
00:14:27you may be able to point the way in which this tremendously difficult war in the Pacific can be won.
00:14:32Briefly, it can be won by teamwork, by trained men fighting together with the precision of a machine.
00:14:38But it's more than that.
00:14:40It must be a harmonious machine.
00:14:43Now you start with the fundamentals.
00:14:46And at the bottom of everything is self-discipline.
00:14:49You must start by casting out all prejudices.
00:14:53Racial, religious, every other kind.
00:14:57I want you to feel free to ask questions, even embarrassing ones.
00:15:01Come to me with suggestions.
00:15:03We're going to be more than officers and men in this.
00:15:06We're going to be comrades.
00:15:07What I eat, you will eat.
00:15:09Where I sleep, you will sleep.
00:15:11I will take you into my confidence whenever it's possible before going into battle.
00:15:15We'll have a meeting in which I'll explain our plans and objectives so that each of you can make a more intelligent contribution to the result.
00:15:24Afterward, we'll have another meeting to criticize the way in which the operation was conducted.
00:15:31We'll fight and endure and win together.
00:15:43Ahead of you lies a hard road.
00:15:45You'll often have bad food and very little of that.
00:15:48Many times your bed will be a muddy ditch.
00:15:51You'll march until you think you're exhausted and then be called on to start out again.
00:15:56To carry you through the rough spots before you, teamwork is needed.
00:16:00You'll have to help each other.
00:16:03The Chinese have a word for it.
00:16:06It is gung ho.
00:16:08Gung to work, ho harmony.
00:16:11I propose it as our motto.
00:16:13Gung ho.
00:16:14Come on now, give it to me.
00:16:20Pearl Harbor is history now by two months.
00:16:23From 15,000 volunteers, the colonel has accepted about 900 of us and our training begins.
00:16:29Calisthenics, the development of a vigorous body to better house a healthy mind and spirit.
00:16:34The colonel has warned us it isn't going to be easy.
00:16:37And that's the prize understatement of 1942.
00:16:41Our objective is already selected.
00:16:43And we'll attack when our preparation in the tradition of gung ho is complete.
00:16:48Realizing that we'll shove off the minute we're in shape,
00:16:50we settle down to the sizeable job of becoming the 2nd Raider Battalion.
00:16:55And we know the reason for this sweat and bodily pain.
00:16:58The old man explains over and over that these exercises
00:17:02and all the others to follow will pay off on some enemy-held beach
00:17:06or in some Jap-infested jungle.
00:17:09We learn to defend and attack without the aid of weapons.
00:17:12You can do a lot with a strong pair of hands, a healthy body, and a quick mind.
00:17:17This is the science of judo.
00:17:19We learn to swim through fire, how to jump from ships.
00:17:23There's the science of scaling walls and barriers,
00:17:25anything the enemy may place in our way or hide behind.
00:17:29This is our security weapon, without which a raider loses his whole identity.
00:17:35One of our boys is a Filipino and an expert with the knife.
00:17:38He teaches us the hundred uses of it.
00:17:40A handy, harmless tool or a deadly, convincing weapon.
00:17:45Now the training becomes more intensive.
00:17:47The officers are right along with us, every ache, every bruise, every step of the way.
00:17:52Their bars and insignia are left in the barracks.
00:17:56We know their rank because we eat, sleep, work, and play together.
00:18:01But they have our respect, for an officer in this outfit has to have what it takes.
00:18:06Some of us are going to die for democracy and freedom and equality.
00:18:11But right here in the 2nd Raider Battalion, we're going to live it while we can.
00:18:15And no matter how tough the going gets, we know the old man is always watching out for us.
00:18:21We bridge barbed wire entanglements with our own bodies and learn not to let this happen.
00:18:27We discover that the bayonet is no ornament on the end of a rifle.
00:18:31And bayonet drill is rough.
00:18:33When we reach a canyon or a gorge or declivity, perhaps we can cross it this way.
00:18:38Always do the unexpected.
00:18:40If we trip or fall, our bodies are trained to respond instantly.
00:18:44A raider is never out of firing position.
00:18:47Nor is he ever relaxed.
00:18:49He's always on the alert for sudden attack from any quarter.
00:18:52And his body is taught to respond automatically.
00:18:55There are few rules to this fight we're in.
00:18:58And so we take on a few tricks.
00:19:00Unpleasant, yes.
00:19:02But sometimes highly effective.
00:19:05In some of the final cross-country hikes,
00:19:07we're traveling 45 miles in 8 hours with full pack and short rations.
00:19:11You have to run just about every step of the way.
00:19:14They're designed to further reduce our number.
00:19:17They do.
00:19:18Take it forward.
00:19:20At ease.
00:19:22Now, man, I want no falling out.
00:19:26And if you do fall out, you fall right out of this battalion.
00:19:30We're all starting and we're all finishing.
00:19:35Now, get your gear set.
00:19:36Oh!
00:19:37Oh!
00:19:38Oh!
00:19:39Oh!
00:19:40Oh!
00:19:41Oh!
00:19:42Oh!
00:19:43Oh!
00:19:44Oh!
00:19:45Oh!
00:19:46Oh!
00:19:47Oh!
00:19:48Oh!
00:19:49Oh!
00:19:50Oh!
00:19:51Oh!
00:19:52Oh!
00:19:53Oh!
00:19:54Oh!
00:19:55Oh!
00:19:56Oh!
00:19:57Oh!
00:19:58Oh!
00:19:59Oh!
00:20:00Oh!
00:20:01What's the matter?
00:20:02Sudden pain.
00:20:03I guess I'll be all right.
00:20:07Report to sick bay.
00:20:09Yes, sir.
00:20:10Sergeant Pichon!
00:20:11Come on!
00:20:12My eyes are...
00:20:13Hurry!
00:20:14Get set!
00:20:15Left!
00:20:16Hurry!
00:20:18Right shoulder!
00:20:19Leg!
00:20:20Hard!
00:20:22Forward!
00:20:23Hard!
00:20:24Hard!
00:20:42I guess this is as close to heaven as I'll ever get.
00:20:44A swell meal, a beautiful girl, and sad to say, Papa Corrigan gone for the evening.
00:20:49My oh my, the barracks were never like this.
00:20:51Is this the new judo grip?
00:20:53Oh, excuse me.
00:20:54I didn't realize I was holding you so tight.
00:20:56Yes, you didn't.
00:20:58I wonder what happened to Kurt?
00:20:59Are you certain you left word we'd be here?
00:21:01Well, sure I did, but he's probably so exhausted that he's doing bunk fatigue right now.
00:21:05Oh, don't answer it.
00:21:06It's probably some poor Marine trying to work his way through Officer's Candidate School by selling magazine subscriptions.
00:21:19Marines don't sell magazines, my friend.
00:21:21Kurt!
00:21:22Oh, it's good to see you.
00:21:23Come on in.
00:21:24You're looking prettier than ever.
00:21:25Oh, thank you.
00:21:26You're looking pretty good yourself.
00:21:27Hey, why don't you write a phone?
00:21:28Let them know you're coming.
00:21:29Well, I wanted to surprise you.
00:21:30Boy, you sure didn't.
00:21:31It's good to have you with us again.
00:21:32Oh, it's good to be here, Kurt.
00:21:33Hey, remember me?
00:21:34I'm still here.
00:21:35Now, don't remind us.
00:21:36We're trying to forget it.
00:21:37How's my mother?
00:21:38Grand.
00:21:39Oh, she told me to give you something.
00:21:40She did?
00:21:41What?
00:21:42This.
00:21:43Hey, what about me?
00:21:44Did she send me one too?
00:21:45She did.
00:21:46Good.
00:21:47Not until you do the dishes as you promised.
00:21:48Get going with your mess duty.
00:21:49It's going to be the best job of dish washing you ever.
00:22:03Ahoy, Raiders!
00:22:14Ahoy, Raiders!
00:22:17Break legs, boys.
00:22:18Gather in closer.
00:22:19Sit down.
00:22:20The smoking lamp is lit.
00:22:29I want to give you some good news.
00:22:32Your period of training in this area is over.
00:22:35We are now headed for the real thing.
00:22:37Hey!
00:22:39This is not an orthodox war in the Pacific.
00:22:42The Japanese are crafty, tenacious, tough, but they have a weakness.
00:22:47It lies in their inability to adapt themselves to unusual situations.
00:22:52You probably wondered why I placed such emphasis on physical conditioning, control, cooperation.
00:22:58It was to enable us to exploit to the utmost the element of surprise and thus capitalize on the enemy's weakness.
00:23:05We must be able to land where they think we cannot, to cross terrain which they think impassable.
00:23:10This 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.
00:23:19If you can accomplish your initial task, others can be set up.
00:23:24There's no limit to what can be done.
00:23:26Can you do it?
00:23:27No!
00:23:28No!
00:23:29No!
00:23:30Now, what about some chow?
00:23:31No!
00:23:37No!
00:23:38What are you doing here?
00:23:52Waiting for you.
00:23:53Kathleen, I haven't much time.
00:23:55Is there some place we could go sit down and be alone?
00:23:58Alone in San Diego?
00:23:59Impossible.
00:24:00Find no place where we can sit down.
00:24:02Come on.
00:24:08Apple pie, custard pie, blueberry pie, blackberry pie, lemon pie, peach pie, jello, brown belly pudding and a pineapple upside down cake.
00:24:13What do you have?
00:24:14Will you repeat that, please?
00:24:16Apple pie, custard pie, blueberry pie, blackberry pie, lemon pie, peach pie, jello, brown belly pudding and pineapple upside down cake.
00:24:23What do you think, Taylor?
00:24:24We are, folks, all ready for you.
00:24:26What do you have?
00:24:26We'd like a couple of hamburgers, please.
00:24:29So would I.
00:24:30Don't you know this is Meatless Tuesday?
00:24:32Just when I felt like having a hamburger.
00:24:34I can't understand it.
00:24:35We got Meatless Tuesday just so the guys in the Army and Navy can have all the meat they want.
00:24:39So what happened?
00:24:40On Meatless Tuesday, the Army and Navy come in here and ask for hamburgers.
00:24:43I don't get it.
00:24:44Okay, okay, you win.
00:24:46We'll settle for two coffees.
00:24:47That suits me.
00:24:48I ought to have been a bookkeeper.
00:24:50Monday to Thursday.
00:24:52Well, this isn't exactly the sort of place I had in mind.
00:24:55I planned a more romantic kind of spot.
00:24:58You know, like you see in the movies.
00:25:00One with the moon and trees and stars.
00:25:02There's maybe even a little soft music.
00:25:05Well, at least we have the music.
00:25:07Hey, that's something anyway.
00:25:17Oh, it's good to have your loan for a change.
00:25:20Know that wolf in uniform won't come barging in on us.
00:25:23You know, ever since I can remember it, you and Larry have been scrapping about something or other.
00:25:27That was kid stuff.
00:25:28It isn't anymore.
00:25:30Kathy, I think we're shipping out soon.
00:25:32Oh, gosh, I hate to see you go.
00:25:37Yeah, I guess you wouldn't be happy otherwise.
00:25:39No, I wouldn't.
00:25:40It's what I've been waiting for.
00:25:41What I've been trained for.
00:25:43I'm going to miss you terribly.
00:25:45Will you?
00:25:45Really?
00:25:46Of course I will.
00:25:47Oh, that makes it a lot easier for me then.
00:25:50You see, I just couldn't leave without telling you that...
00:25:54Yes, Gary.
00:25:55Well, I'm not very good with words.
00:25:58I'm not a smooth talker like Larry.
00:26:00But I want you to know how I feel about you.
00:26:03Oh, don't stop me now or I'll never get the nerve to finish.
00:26:07You see, Kathy, some guys need pictures of their girls to remind them of what they look like.
00:26:13But not me.
00:26:15I keep seeing you all the time, no matter where I am or what I'm doing.
00:26:19I keep hearing your name as if someone was whispering it to me.
00:26:23I got it so bad I can't think so.
00:26:27Kathy, am I making a sucker out of myself?
00:26:29I mean, have I got the right to think of you as my girl?
00:26:33To count on you to be waiting here for me when I come back?
00:26:36I'd like to know the answer to that, too.
00:26:39How'd you find us?
00:26:40Sergeant Corrigan told me that Kathleen usually stops here after work.
00:26:43I wanted to see her.
00:26:44All right, you've seen her. Now blow.
00:26:45Oh, but I want a good look.
00:26:46Listen, Larry, if you don't get out of here, you won't look at anything.
00:26:48Now look, break it up, please.
00:26:50Here are folks.
00:26:51Nice hot coffee.
00:26:53What are you going to have?
00:26:56A hamburger.
00:26:57Hamburger.
00:26:58See what I mean?
00:26:59This is Meatless Tuesday.
00:27:00I can't understand it.
00:27:02We got to get it.
00:27:03I'm still going to be a bookkeeper.
00:27:06Monday this, Tuesday that, Thursday something else.
00:27:15Well, Kathy, this is goodbye.
00:27:22Goodbye, Curt.
00:27:23Take care of yourself.
00:27:29Goodbye, Larry.
00:27:31Goodbye, and come back.
00:27:33So long.
00:27:35Bye, Kathy.
00:27:35We'll be seeing you.
00:27:36Bye.
00:27:36We're under orders now.
00:27:48Our gear is packed, and about 600 of us file a board awaiting transport.
00:27:54Our destination?
00:27:55Unannounced.
00:27:57We're shoving off into the unknown.
00:27:59The big ship heads out to the open sea, and her boiling wake testifies to the urgency of our mission.
00:28:08The friendly shores of home fade into the mist.
00:28:12Pearl Harbor, five months following the day of infamy.
00:28:16Silence settles over the ship as we ease past the wreckage.
00:28:21There they are, the Arizona with her masts and torn bridge thrusting out of the water.
00:28:29The rusty hull of the capsized Oklahoma.
00:28:32Their guns are cold and unmanned.
00:28:35Mute testimony to the power of Japan.
00:28:39There are men in the 2nd Raider Battalion who lost brothers on those ships.
00:28:45Can we help even the score?
00:28:49We dare not fail.
00:28:51Take a good look, Raiders.
00:28:54That's what the Colonel meant when he told us about them Japs.
00:28:58After three more months of intensive training, we're ready.
00:29:09We know it.
00:29:10We're confident and sure of ourselves, but not reckless.
00:29:15The Navy has won the battles of the Coral Sea in Midway.
00:29:18But the Japs have taken Singapore, Burma, the East Indies, and are threatening both Australia
00:29:23and Alaska.
00:29:24No, there's little to make us overconfident.
00:29:27Oh, baby.
00:29:33You know, I always did like a nice hot bath before dinner.
00:29:37What makes you think you're going to get any dinner?
00:29:40Yeah, that should hold you for a while, Mac.
00:29:43Thanks.
00:29:44All I want to know is when does the war start?
00:29:47I'll need it to take a rest.
00:29:49I've been climbing so many hills, I'm beginning to feel like a goat.
00:29:53I look like a goat.
00:29:54I act like a goat.
00:29:56I'm even starting to think like a goat.
00:29:58Did you say think?
00:30:00Yeah, why?
00:30:01Oh, nothing.
00:30:02I just wondered.
00:30:04Eh, what did he mean by that?
00:30:06Hey.
00:30:07A Navy spokesman has indicated there are about 10,000 Japanese troops on Kiska and Optum.
00:30:20And here is a Navy bulletin just handed me.
00:30:22U.S. Marines have landed in the Solomon Islands on Guadalcanal and Tulagi.
00:30:26The enemy is counterattacking with rapidity and vigor.
00:30:29The fighting is savage and losses on both sides are heavy.
00:30:32In the first hours, we have lost one cruiser sunk, two cruisers, two destroyers, and one transport damaged.
00:30:38The Navy department cautions that considerable losses must be expected.
00:30:42Now, you men, listen to me.
00:30:46This is it.
00:30:47We move out of here before morning, so get all your gear together.
00:30:49Where do we go, Gunner?
00:30:50Come on, shake the lead off.
00:30:51When do we eat?
00:30:52Hey, don't we get any sleep?
00:30:53You've been asleep since you were born.
00:30:54You'll get plenty of sleep in the next eight days and I'll promise you that.
00:30:56Now, move out of here as fast as you get your gear together.
00:30:58Line up outside by platoons and let's go!
00:31:01Two hundred ten of us from the 15,000 who started and were shoving off without convoy,
00:31:17without escort, alone, not on a transport, a cruiser, or destroyer.
00:31:22We pack ourselves into two submarines.
00:31:26This is a new one in the history of American warfare.
00:31:29But we're the Raiders, organized and trained to do the unexpected.
00:31:34All right, men, just follow transport.
00:31:42He'll show you the bunk's assigned to you.
00:31:45Come on, snap it up.
00:31:46Hurry up.
00:31:47Move along.
00:31:48Move along.
00:31:49Come on, move along.
00:31:50There's more guys in the back here.
00:31:52That's it.
00:31:53Move along.
00:31:54Snap it up.
00:31:55Pull in your neck.
00:31:56Knucklehead.
00:31:57That's it.
00:31:58Come on, move along.
00:31:59Move along, boys.
00:32:00Move along.
00:32:01Okay, that's it.
00:32:05I used to think the subway was crowded.
00:32:17Man, there's more people in here than the whole town where I come from.
00:32:20I haven't been pushed around so much since my horse fell with being a cattle stampede.
00:32:24Me, I don't mind this at all.
00:32:25When I was a kid, my whole family used to sleep in one room.
00:32:28How many in your family?
00:32:29Twelve.
00:32:30That's when I joined up.
00:32:32But it's been quite some time since I heard from my folks.
00:32:43All right, all right, guys.
00:32:44Pipe down.
00:32:45The Colonel wants to say a few words to you.
00:32:47Well, boys, now you know how a sardine feels.
00:32:51I want you to stay in your bunks as much as possible as it'll be better for everyone.
00:32:56I can assure you all that no matter how you feel, no matter what trick your imagination may play on you,
00:33:02even though we stay submerged for many hours together,
00:33:05that'll always be air enough for all of us to breathe.
00:33:08The reconditioning system has a margin of safety far beyond that required by the greatest number of men that could be packed inside the hull.
00:33:16For the present, we're running on the surface, but we'll submerge as soon as possible.
00:33:20However, you'll have ample warning before we do.
00:33:23What about it, gang? Can we take it?
00:33:26Go!
00:33:27You'll start serving chow in an hour.
00:33:30You'll make your way to the mess in relays according to the schedules given to the squad leaders.
00:33:46Man, I don't like this.
00:33:49What is it, Rube?
00:33:51Everything's gonna be all right.
00:33:53Feels like everything's pressing in on me.
00:33:55Don't think about it.
00:33:56Close your eyes.
00:33:58I can still see it.
00:34:03I never could stand being crowded in.
00:34:05I can feel it!
00:34:06Think of something else, Rube.
00:34:08Think of your home.
00:34:10Think of the sheep coming down to the brook to drink.
00:34:14Didn't have no sheep.
00:34:16We all kept hogs.
00:34:17All right.
00:34:18Think of the hogs.
00:34:20Count them, Rube.
00:34:22Count them.
00:34:23One.
00:34:28Two.
00:34:29Three.
00:34:31Four.
00:34:34Keep counting, Rube.
00:34:35Keep counting.
00:34:36Can't! Four's all I had!
00:34:40You'll be all right, Rube.
00:34:41Just keep counting those four over and over again.
00:34:48One.
00:34:50Two.
00:34:53Three.
00:34:55You know, Frankie, I just remembered something.
00:34:57You know, I never did tell you that I'd been to Brooklyn, did I?
00:34:59Yeah, I used to go there to Ebbets Field to see the Dodgers play.
00:35:02No kidding.
00:35:03Sure.
00:35:04Oh, boy, the Dodgers.
00:35:05You know, that's where I learned my marksmanship.
00:35:07How do you mean?
00:35:08Tossing pop bottles at the umpire.
00:35:15All right, boys, it's a dive.
00:35:18Now just relax.
00:35:23Yeah.
00:35:24There you go.
00:35:25That's right.
00:35:26So close right.
00:35:27Well, this is a back set, now.
00:35:28That's exactly what you were going to do.
00:35:30Yeah.
00:35:32Well, that's enough for you.
00:35:33I can tell you.
00:35:34There are many people.
00:35:35Come on.
00:35:36Yes.
00:35:37You're a good one.
00:35:38Yes.
00:35:39Oh, boy, there's too many people.
00:35:41You're a good one.
00:35:42You're a good one.
00:35:43I've got to win.
00:35:44It's like riding a roller coaster.
00:36:14Stick that in the sentries back, you'd make him say, Uncle, hey, Parson, you'd make him call for the whole congregation.
00:36:31Let's see.
00:36:35I like a little more weight on the end.
00:36:38Oh, Doc.
00:36:40Yes, Kozlovski?
00:36:41What do you think of the weight of this knife?
00:36:45Not bad.
00:36:46By the way, is there any place where you can stab a man so he won't make any sound at all?
00:36:50Well, the heart's the best chance, but wherever you stick a man, he's liable to cry out instinctively.
00:36:55See?
00:36:55That's one way to keep him from letting out a peep.
00:36:58And?
00:37:00That's right, Lieutenant.
00:37:01The main thing is force.
00:37:03Plenty of force.
00:37:04You 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.
00:37:09You can tell.
00:37:10You can tell with a feel if the blade is penetrated, and if it hasn't, hit him again.
00:37:13Well, good hunting.
00:37:17You know, there's still a much more effective way of doing that.
00:37:20Let me show you.
00:37:20Oh, no, you don't.
00:37:31Doc, Doc.
00:37:34Quiet, boys.
00:37:35He's coming, boys.
00:37:35Quiet.
00:37:36All right, men, now.
00:37:47There you are, Glennon.
00:38:02Take your final birthday, Pete.
00:38:03I have a beat.
00:38:04Oh, you shouldn't have done it.
00:38:0613, 14, 15.
00:38:08Are you kidding?
00:38:08Is he only 16?
00:38:10Sweet 16.
00:38:11Sweet 16 and never been kissed?
00:38:13Uh, who's never been kissed?
00:38:15Wait, if I had a sin for every time I've been kissed, I'd be kissed.
00:38:18Hold it, hold it, guys.
00:38:20Hold it.
00:38:21How old do you really think he is?
00:38:2312.
00:38:2345.
00:38:2421.
00:38:24Oh, he's out.
00:38:25Da, da, da.
00:38:27Gunner isn't a day over 60.
00:38:29The only reason he looks older is because he worries so much.
00:38:32All right.
00:38:33Have your little laugh, but give me a knife.
00:38:35Happy birthday to Gunner, happy birthday to Gunner, happy birthday, dear Gunner, happy birthday to you.
00:38:46Wait a minute, wait a minute, make a wish.
00:38:49Get it, go.
00:38:51All right, blowing out my candles on my cake.
00:38:54It's a fine day.
00:39:02All right, all right, you guys.
00:39:04The colonel wants all hands to have one of these.
00:39:07Hey, Transport, what do you got, the evening papers?
00:39:09What do the Dodgers do with Philly?
00:39:11These are maps.
00:39:11Tells us where we're going.
00:39:12Got any pinup girls, Transport?
00:39:14No, but I got a nice picture of myself in a bathing suit.
00:39:17Want me to autograph it for you?
00:39:18Where is it?
00:39:19Hey, Transport, I don't understand this.
00:39:21What do you expect him to do?
00:39:22Talk to you?
00:39:24Study him, knucklehead, study him.
00:39:25Get to know him better than your own wife, if you had a wife.
00:39:28The colonel is going to ask your questions about him later on.
00:39:31All I can see is a couple of islands drawn here.
00:39:33What do you expect?
00:39:35Moving pictures of Dorothy L'Amour on them islands?
00:39:38Well, is that bad?
00:39:46There they are, South Sea Islands.
00:39:48Gee, I can remember when I used to be out harvesting in the North 80 and a waving wheat would look like the sea.
00:39:57I'd wonder if I'd ever see places like Tahiti and Gilbert and Marshall's.
00:40:02Did you ever want to go there, Frankie?
00:40:04No.
00:40:04Any place that ain't got a pool room don't interest me.
00:40:07We should arrive in Area 7 at approximately 20 hundred.
00:40:13Very good.
00:40:19How'd it go, Gunner?
00:40:22Ahoy, Raiders!
00:40:23Boys, by now you've all had a chance to study your maps.
00:40:28I know you've been wondering why we're bound for.
00:40:31Well, now I can let you in on the secret.
00:40:34Our objective is Macon Island.
00:40:36We should arrive about next Wednesday.
00:40:39Macon Island has been particularly troublesome, guys.
00:40:42It threatens our line of communication with Australia.
00:40:45It's constantly being strengthened.
00:40:47And if the Japs should attempt to seize some more in the Fijis,
00:40:50Macon, undoubtedly, would be one of the takeoff points.
00:40:53We'll go ashore at dawn.
00:40:55Seize it, kill every Jap, and destroy the installations.
00:40:59Now as to the odds.
00:41:01There are about two Japs for every one of you.
00:41:04As they are the defending force, you can multiply that by three.
00:41:08Six to one.
00:41:10How can we overcome that advantage?
00:41:13Platoon leaders, take over.
00:41:14Well, men, you've heard the colonel.
00:41:20And the odds are six to one.
00:41:23How are we going to overcome that?
00:41:26Poperson.
00:41:26By the element of surprise, sir.
00:41:28Good.
00:41:29What else?
00:41:30I'm working together.
00:41:32I haven't a plan so well laid out that every man knows what to do and does it.
00:41:36And that's the most important thing.
00:41:37If you haven't got that, you have nothing.
00:41:40You're all part of a team.
00:41:43Team for killing.
00:41:44After studying your maps, you'll probably notice a lot of things that are very familiar to you.
00:41:51What do you recognize?
00:41:52I recognize the beach we land on every night at Honolulu.
00:41:55Same shape.
00:41:56There's the building we blew up every night and built again the next day.
00:41:58It's Mark Government House here.
00:41:59And there's a radio station just where we had it.
00:42:02That's good map reading.
00:42:05Now, we laid out Macon Island exactly as it is.
00:42:08And you've been rehearsing for the things you have to do.
00:42:11Although you don't know it, from the very beginning, you men have been training for this rig.
00:42:20And when you get there, I want to know the things you've been trained to do.
00:42:26There should be nothing to it.
00:42:29Any questions?
00:42:32All right.
00:42:34I want you to look over your maps again and again.
00:42:37If you're in doubt about anything, just tell me.
00:42:39I'll try to straighten you out.
00:42:43Ahoy, Raiders!
00:42:44Ahoy, Raiders!
00:42:57Colonel, there's Macon Island.
00:42:59We arrive there tomorrow.
00:43:00We contacted the other submarine and arranged the rendezvous.
00:43:03Good.
00:43:03Our information is that Luckinor on the north and Meraki on the south are possibly fortified.
00:43:08But Macon is the Jap strongpoint east of January.
00:43:11I suppose the Japs patrol these waters, from there at least.
00:43:15We're in Jap waters now.
00:43:16I doubled all watches at sunrise.
00:43:19Sir, we've just picked up some radio telephone messages.
00:43:23Japanese.
00:43:24They're too strong to come from a land station.
00:43:26Sounds like a carrier talking to planes.
00:43:28Gun them!
00:43:31Yes, sir.
00:43:32Get the men down and keep them below until further orders.
00:43:34Aye, aye, sir.
00:43:34All right, men.
00:43:37Knock it off.
00:43:38Clear the deck.
00:43:53All right, boys.
00:43:54Make it snappy.
00:43:55Wait a minute.
00:44:08There's one missing.
00:44:09Where's Tedrow?
00:44:10He was topside with us, sir, when we first went up.
00:44:12He hasn't slept very well since he's been aboard.
00:44:14He just lays awake nights counting those four hogs of you.
00:44:17He spat.
00:44:20He's feet.
00:44:24He's screeching.
00:44:24He's screeching.
00:44:30Yeah.
00:44:34He's confidated.
00:44:35He's got his death.
00:44:38And he's got his death.
00:44:38He's got his death.
00:44:39He's got his death.
00:44:40He's got his death.
00:44:41And Suicide Avenue, he's got their death.
00:44:42I'm not laying money now.
00:44:43At least, after that sale, he's got her death.
00:44:45And the didn't ask him more.
00:44:46Hello, we're after a man on deck, Chedro.
00:44:58Is there anything we can do, Captain?
00:45:08Battle stations, surface.
00:45:16Fire!
00:45:24Chedro.
00:45:25Fire, fire, fire.
00:45:46Well, looks like old Rogue got enough air that time, huh?
00:46:16Oh, my God.
00:46:46Oh, my God.
00:47:16Okay.
00:47:18All right.
00:47:23Take it easy, guys.
00:47:26Nothing serious.
00:47:27Look.
00:47:28Look.
00:47:29We're breaking up.
00:47:31Water is coming in.
00:47:33What are you trying to do? Start a panic?
00:47:39I'm sorry, sir.
00:47:40Okay, son. Back in your bunk.
00:47:46Now, none of you think he's yellow, either.
00:47:48I'm sorry, sir.
00:47:50Okay, son. Back in your bunk.
00:47:56Now, none of you think he's yellow, either.
00:47:59That can happen to all of us.
00:48:02You know, a guy could get killed in here.
00:48:09Ha, ha, ha!
00:48:12Ha, ha, ha!
00:48:16Ha, ha, ha!
00:48:17Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:48:19Ha, ha, ha!
00:48:20Ha, ha, ha!
00:48:22Ha, ha, ha!
00:48:25Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:48:26All ahead, Standard.
00:48:38Aye, aye, sir.
00:48:39Periscope depth.
00:48:40Bring her up.
00:48:41Aye, aye, sir.
00:48:43Sorry about this, Captain.
00:48:44You might have had a shot at the flat top those planes came from.
00:48:47Orders, Colonel.
00:48:49This isn't a hunting trip.
00:48:50We've only got two torpedoes with instructions not to use them except for defense.
00:48:54My orders are to get you there.
00:48:55And to me, that means all of you.
00:49:22Steady as you go.
00:49:23Steady as you go.
00:49:25We'll have to hurry it up, Colonel, so that we can get your landing party away before it gets too light.
00:49:29Aye, aye.
00:49:31All ahead, two-thirds.
00:49:32All ahead, two-thirds.
00:49:34Take it easy.
00:49:35Five down, will you?
00:49:37Hey, Larry, why don't you try having one of those stomachaches of yours now, huh?
00:49:41I would, but my girl's 4,000 miles away.
00:49:43Whose girl?
00:49:44My girl, Kathy.
00:49:44Oh, what are you talking about here?
00:49:45Break it up!
00:49:46Break it up!
00:49:47The colonel has some final instructions.
00:49:50Well, boys, this is what we've been waiting for.
00:49:54The main island has been sighted, and our rendezvous with the other submarine has been accomplished.
00:49:59We'll have to be ashore before sunrise.
00:50:04By sunset, all our missions must be carried out, not a Jap left alive on the island.
00:50:08Both our submarines will lie submerged during the day.
00:50:13After dark, they'll come to the surface to take us off.
00:50:17We must get aboard, or be left behind.
00:50:20We're going in under the most favorable conditions possible.
00:50:23When you get in the fight, it's up to you.
00:50:25Use your heads, and God bless you.
00:50:28This is it.
00:50:39This is the objective of six months' training, and eight days of traveling out of Pearl Harbor.
00:50:46In an hour or two from now, we'll know if the Jap can be beaten.
00:50:50We'll know if these past six months have been worthwhile, or have been in vain.
00:50:58We'll know if we don't have any questions.
00:51:00We'll know if we don't have any questions.
00:51:02We'll know if we don't have any questions.
00:51:05The ground swells toss the rubber boats about, and we have trouble jumping into them.
00:51:07The water breaking over and running off the sub-pores into the open boats.
00:51:14One by one, they're loaded, and we shove off.
00:51:18To the job ahead.
00:51:21To the unknown.
00:51:23off, to the job ahead, to the unknown. There's admiration in the eyes of the submarine crew
00:51:32as we start for the shore. In the half light of dawn, the island is clearly visible. What
00:51:41about the enemy? Has he seen us? He has artillery on the island, why hasn't he opened up? How
00:51:48many machine guns will we meet on the beach? The colonel and transport and gunner and the
00:51:54captain have told us this is the moment when your nerves sometimes break up. Our enemies,
00:52:02Japs, are watching us right now. They must be. Why don't they start shooting? Kill or be
00:52:12killed. A few more yards now. Man, it's quiet. We're there, out of the boats. Our feet are
00:52:22on land. Now, Raiders, let's go.
00:52:33Central, send out the scouts. A and B company runners, tell your commanding officers to report
00:52:39coming. All right, sir.
00:53:09Central, send out the scouts. A and B company runners, tell your commanding officers to report

00:53:43Chris, you move south against the village, it's advanced guard.
00:53:46Aye, aye, sir.
00:53:47Browning, you move in reserve and send a group to cover Chris's left flank.
00:53:50Aye, aye, sir.
00:53:51From this point on, everyone travels as light as possible.

00:56:33Let's go.
00:56:34Let's go.
00:56:35Let's go.
00:56:36Let's go.
00:56:37Montana.
00:56:38Pigiron.
00:56:39Tedrow.
00:56:40Richter.
00:56:41Orion.
00:56:42Advance from this point.
00:56:43Wipe out that machine gun nest.
00:56:44Marks and the rest of you follow me.
00:56:46We'll outflank them from the left.
00:56:47Now use your heads, all of you.
00:56:48Now use your heads, all of you.
00:56:50Pigiron, you're in charge of this group.
00:56:52Aye, sir.
00:56:53Good luck, kid.
00:56:54You guys know what we have to do.
00:57:01I'll make the assault and you cover me.
00:57:05If my luck is bad, Kurt, you're next.
00:57:07Then Larry, Frankie, and Tedrow.
00:57:09So long, fellas.
00:57:10There goes nothing.
00:57:11You can go ahead and join us, let me.
00:57:16Let's go.
00:57:19Here you go...
00:57:20To...
00:57:29Where we're!
00:57:30Uh-oh, looks like Piggy stopped one.
00:57:49Maybe I'll have better luck.
00:57:51Kurt, I just wanted to say that was all malarkey about Kathleen and me.
00:57:58I always tried to make you think she cared for me.
00:58:02Well, she didn't.
00:58:03I'm not in love with her.
00:58:05Guess I got in the habit of scrapping with you about everything.
00:58:08Then she came along.
00:58:09You're such a serious guy.
00:58:11You never were a good liar, Larry.
00:58:14Saw it out.
00:58:15Larry!
00:58:28Hey, Frankie, what you doing?
00:58:51The colonel always said if we got stuck, to use our heads and do the unexpected.
00:58:56I used to run the 100-yard dash in 10 seconds flat with the smallest AC at Greenpoint,
00:59:01but not dressed like this.
00:59:10Start shooting now, Rube.
00:59:11Give them something to worry about.
00:59:12Come on, Rube.
00:59:42Let's go.
01:00:12Let's go.
01:00:42Frankie, I saw what you did, kid.
01:01:00It was great.
01:01:01I'm proud of you, Frankie.
01:01:05Thanks, Lieutenant.
01:01:05All right, you can take it from here.
01:01:19You'll be all right, Mac.
01:01:24Put him down right here.
01:01:25Well, pig iron, old boy.
01:01:29Say, what are they trying to do to you?
01:01:32Oh, can't talk, huh?
01:01:33A marine that can't squawk.
01:01:35That's not a bad idea.
01:01:42You doing something?
01:01:43I almost got you, boy.
01:01:44Looks like you're due for a transfusion.
01:01:47Oh, Doc, come here, will you please?
01:01:49Sit tight, biggie.
01:01:50I'll be right back.
01:01:55You better take a look at this.
01:01:56You better take a look at this.
01:02:15I'm fine.
01:02:18Thanks, Peggy.
01:02:34Marble, take a fire group across, scout the hospital area.
01:02:51We'll cover you from here with machine gun fire.
01:02:53Aye, aye, sir.
01:02:53Harbison, take the left flank.
01:02:55Tedrow, the right.
01:02:56All right.
01:02:56Let's go.
01:03:04Wex!
01:03:27Chris calling CP.
01:03:36Chris calling CP.
01:03:38Hold it, Chris.
01:03:40Colonel, Chris wants to talk to you, sir.
01:03:46Command post speaking.
01:03:47Come in, Chris.
01:03:48Three enemy planes approaching from the east.
01:03:50I see them, Chris.
01:03:52Halt advance.
01:03:53Maintain your positions.
01:03:54Do not fire on planes.
01:03:55Do not fire on planes.
01:03:57Got it, Chris?
01:03:58Roger.
01:04:00All companies.
01:04:01All companies, come in, please.
01:04:04Company commanders, report to rendezvous B.
01:04:07Report to rendezvous B.
01:04:13Boys, those planes changed the situation.
01:04:15Now, as you know, our position is here.
01:04:18Radio station there.
01:04:20And it's directing those planes.
01:04:21We've got to knock it out before they return with reinforcements.
01:04:25It's very negative.
01:04:47Oh, my God.
01:05:17Oh, my God.
01:05:47Oh, my God.
01:05:54Colin, CP. Colin, CP.
01:05:58McBride reporting.
01:06:00We're undercover about 50 yards from the radio station.
01:06:03I've 12 men left in my command.
01:06:05Waiting now for Lieutenant Browning to appear on the left flank.
01:06:08We're under heavy fire and the station seems to be held in force.
01:06:11McBride, calling McBride.
01:06:20Come in, McBride.
01:06:28Where's the transport?
01:06:29He's back checking on the hospital marking job, sir.
01:06:31Listen in on this.
01:06:33Yes, sir.
01:06:37Saturday afternoon, isn't it?
01:06:38We were back home, we'd be getting time and a half for this.
01:06:41At a buck sixty.
01:06:42How much did that make?
01:06:44I haven't seen figures like that since I got my serial number.
01:06:47What do we spend it on if we had it?
01:06:49I know I'd spend it on if I was home.
01:06:52First, I'd call Bubbles.
01:06:54Oh, what up, Dave.
01:06:56Oh, well, forget it.
01:06:58I wonder what we're going to have for chow tonight.
01:07:00It's a century-day fried chicken.
01:07:02Hey, Joe, what do you say we go on a strike?
01:07:04Do that, you knuckleheads!
01:07:06Meanwhile, get this job done before the little sons of the rising sun
01:07:10and catch you with your tails in the breeze.
01:07:12Okay, you big bureaucrat, you.
01:07:14You know, Transport, I think the colonel's a bit tetched with the heat
01:07:17sticking this flag up here.
01:07:19We know we're Americans.
01:07:20Listen, Rembrandt, the colonel knows what he's doing all the time.
01:07:24Now get to work before I hit you with a bucket of paint!
01:07:27Transport?
01:07:28Yes, sir.
01:07:28Coming, sir.
01:07:34McBride stopped.
01:07:35Radio out.
01:07:35He's just off the road, 50 yards aside the station.
01:07:38Hustle on down as close as you can and get a report.
01:07:39Aye, aye, sir.
01:07:40Transport?
01:07:41Yes, sir.
01:07:42Mind, I want you back.
01:07:43Make it snappy.
01:07:45I'll be back, sir.
01:07:55Where's that support?
01:07:57Better come up quick before the jab spread out on our flank.
01:08:00I'll be back.
01:08:30Hey, what are you doing here?
01:08:39Why ain't you up with your outfit?
01:08:40The boys are stuck at the radio station.
01:08:42So what?
01:08:42So good old the view kid is cutting us over for a touchdown.
01:08:45I got you, Kazurowski.
01:08:47Here's my rifle.
01:08:48Hold on to your hat.
01:08:54Okay, Kazurowski, let it go.
01:08:56All right.
01:09:00Well, it looks like we're pinned down here for a while.
01:09:10The Lord fights on the side of the right.
01:09:14They hope so, Harbison.
01:09:15Well, it looks like we're pinned down here for a while.
01:09:16Let's go.
01:09:17Let's go.
01:09:18Let's go.

01:13:11Let's go.
01:13:13Let's go.
01:13:15Let's go.
01:13:17Let's go.

01:13:27Let's go.
01:13:28Let's go.
01:13:29Let's go.
01:13:30All right, boys, the place is for air.
01:14:00All right, boys, the place is for air.
01:14:14All right, boys, the place is for air.
01:14:26Here they come, Raiders, let them have it.
01:14:56All right, boys, the place is for air.
01:15:08All right, boys, the place is for air.
01:15:14All right, boys, the place is for air.
01:15:18I got it now, Joe.
01:15:36What's that, Hank?
01:15:37The colonel had us paint that flag up there knowing the Japs had blasted.
01:15:40Now we're just drawing those monkeys in, see?
01:15:43Let's go.
01:15:44Let's go.
01:15:45Let's go.
01:16:13Let's go.
01:16:15Let's go.
01:16:16Let's go.
01:16:17Who's going?
01:16:18Come on.
01:16:20Come on, look.
01:16:21Come on.
01:16:22Come on.
01:16:23Come on.
01:16:24Come on.
01:16:43Let's go.
01:17:13Don't shoot, Marine, leave him out.
01:17:26Don't shoot.
01:17:27Hold him.
01:17:27Don't shoot, please.
01:17:28We surrender.
01:17:29I think we ought to riddle him anyway.
01:17:31No, don't kill them when they're willing to surrender.
01:17:33They know when they've been licked.
01:17:35Maybe.
01:17:43Did you get him, Rube?
01:17:59I got him.
01:18:00Now, thy will be done on earth as it is in...
01:18:16I got him.
01:18:46Colonel Thorwald, sir.
01:18:50Ship calling.
01:18:54Colonel Thorwald speaking.
01:18:55Colonel, radio intelligence indicates Jap task force.
01:18:58One, six, five, magnetic.
01:19:00Speed, 16 knots.
01:19:03Answered.
01:19:04I understand.
01:19:04Very well.
01:19:06We'll step up operations.
01:19:07Roger.
01:19:08Chris.
01:19:10Intelligence reports a strong Japanese task force headed this way.
01:19:13Oh, how long before they get here?
01:19:14Sometime tonight.
01:19:16We must complete all operations and be back on the subs before they arrive.
01:19:19I want you to take the demolition squad and destroy any installations left on the island,
01:19:23leaving nothing which would be of use to the enemy.
01:19:25Aye, aye, sir.
01:19:26Captain Colonel.
01:19:27Yes, sir?
01:19:28Browning, I want you to take your men around to the lagoon
01:19:31and get ready for us to embark as soon as possible.
01:19:34Aye, aye, sir.
01:19:35All right, boys.
01:19:36All those who were able to travel will shut off.
01:19:47All right, Brown, check your men.
01:19:48Put enough under those oil tanks to blow up the whole field.
01:19:50All right, sir.
01:19:50Yes, sir?
01:19:59Have you seen transport?
01:20:00Yes, sir.
01:20:02You won't be going back with us, sir.
01:20:12Colonel Thorwald, sir.
01:20:15Colonel Thorwald.
01:20:20Captain Dunphy's calling.
01:20:24Yes, Captain Dunphy.
01:20:26Where are your men, Colonel?
01:20:27Have they left the beach?
01:20:29Latest intelligence reveals enemy destroyers approaching full speed.
01:20:34Will arrive sooner than anticipated.
01:20:37Can you hurry it up, Colonel?
01:20:39We are proceeding as rapidly as possible, Captain.
01:20:41Most of the force is on the way.
01:20:43The rest of us are preparing to leave now.
01:20:47Attention all NCOs!
01:20:48Boys decided that we evacuate the wounded at once.
01:20:52Let's go!
01:20:55The tender care given our wounded by the natives
01:20:57is born of sympathy and kindness
01:20:59and a share in a common cause.
01:21:02But behind us,
01:21:0430 of the 2nd Raider Battalion have died for an ideal.
01:21:08We must live it.
01:21:16All right, Kurt, let's go.
01:21:17Everything taken care of, sir.
01:21:35The militia men have placed all charges.
01:21:37Corporal told us to set them off as soon as we leave the island.
01:21:39Good.
01:21:40All right, boys, you've got to shove off at once.
01:21:41Move out.
01:21:42Come on, Franky.
01:21:51How are you, Colonel?
01:21:52Okay, sir.
01:21:54Had me worried for a while.
01:21:56Anything I can do for you?
01:21:58Yeah.
01:21:59Tell me.
01:22:01When do we go to Tokyo?
01:22:04That's a military secret.
01:22:07Come on, let's get on board.
01:22:08Take it easy.
01:22:09See you, don't let me.
01:22:18Come on.
01:22:19Come on.
01:22:20Come on.
01:22:21Come on.
01:22:29Let's go.
01:22:59Net force assist landing party with stretcher cases.
01:23:29Stand by to get underway.
01:23:31Stand by to get underway.
01:23:35Stand by to get underway.
01:23:41Stand by to get underway.
01:23:45Stand by to get underway.
01:23:47Stand by to get underway.
01:23:51Stand by to your station.
01:23:56Stand by to get功.
01:23:57All right, men, hit the deck.
01:24:01All right, men, hit the deck.
01:24:23Men!
01:24:27It may seem too soon to talk of the Macon Island Raiders finished.
01:24:30When we're seven days from home and Jap war ships are closing in on us, but I'll take that chance.
01:24:36Raiders, you have shown the way.
01:24:39Whatever anyone may do in the days ahead, this was the first offensive action to be carried out.
01:24:45Our victory, however, has not been without the loss of men who were like brothers to us.
01:24:50But what of the future for those of us who remain?
01:24:54Our course is clear.
01:24:56Well, it is for us at this moment, with the memory of the sacrifice of our brothers still fresh,
01:25:01to dedicate again our hearts, our minds, and our bodies to the great task that lies ahead.
01:25:07We must go further and dedicate ourselves also to the monumental task of assuring that the peace
01:25:12which follows this Holocaust will be a just, equitable, and conclusive peace.
01:25:19And beyond that, lies the mission of making certain that the social order which we bequeath to our sons and daughters
01:25:26is truly based on freedom, for which these men died.
01:25:30God, Lord!
01:25:31God, Lord!
01:25:41God, Lord!
01:25:56God, Lord!
01:25:59God, Lord!
