Heat.

[Music]

Hey, Heat.

[Music]

Heat.

[Music]

Heat.

Heat.

[Music]

Heat.

[Music]

Stinks. Hasn't been here too long.

Take it easy, sip. It's got a jet marker

on it. Yeah, there jets on the island.

What do you expect? A Red Cross package.

Yeah, finally a chance to be heroes.

Maybe even get that Congressional Medal

of Honor. The only way we'll get a medal

is to borrow one from Sith. Don't worry,

fellas. Maybe give a medal for the most

active mouth. Huh? Remember one thing

about getting a medal. It helps to have

a chest to pin it on. Ah, tip it sit

boy. Move closer. Maybe some of that

hero stock will rub off. Don't worry,

Georgie. Either got it or you don't.

Yeah. A hero stock's something I got

plenty of. My brother's a hero. He won't

do any kind of fight. I don't understand

people like that. Conscientious

objectives. Maybe he believes it takes

more guts not to fight back. A bull. Now

that kind of talk sounds familiar.

Just a little twist in George. Well,

look at here. A living brotherhood

poster. Speaking of brotherhood, we wait

for no one. Anything happens make for

the raft. The PT boat that brought us

here won't wait. So don't expect us to.

Oh, you sure are a morale booster,

Lieutenant. Any of us needed a pep talk,

we wouldn't be here. Just hero and metal

garbage. The only thing we have to prove

on this island if an airfield can be

built and that's all. And we have just

17 hours to prove it. Zip with CBS. You

leave the heroics to the sergeant Yorks.

Right. If we see any Japs, we hide. If

they see us, we run. I suppose they run

faster. They won't. There you go, Jim.

There's your morale booster. All right,

let's go.

[Music]

Da da

cocon.

[Music]

[Laughter]

Give you my show.

Take my show

grenade.

[Music]

Heat.

[Music]

Heat.

[Music]

George, can you move?

Damn it, George. My legs, Dave.

God, my legs. My legs. We'll have to

leave you, George.

Look, can't we at least try and get him

out of here? We can't help it. There are

too many of them for us. We can't risk

everything. Listen, George, there's

still one of them out there.

George, get to the raft. We'll get you

to the PT boat.

My legs.

God, my legs.

[Applause]

[Music]

No time to go around. Come on. Maybe we

better skirt it. Hey, let's wait for him

to pass and ambush him in the water. We

go across. If we get caught in here,

Lieutenant, we're through. I'll make the

decisions that get us back. We don't

stand and fight.

[Music]

Come on, J.

Heat.

[Music]

Heat.

[Music]

[Applause]

Make sure

[Applause]

[Applause]

Is it bad? My hands. Could have been

worse. Didn't have to hammer. Okay.

Okay. No lectures.

Can't afford another mistake. You do

what I tell you when I tell you. Good

for you, too, sir. Look, I made the

mistake. I got hit. So, who suffered?

That little delay of yours might have

gotten us all killed. Let's go.

Come on.

[Music]

Yeah. Here we go.

[Music]

We don't

do any thunder.

[Music]

Come here.

[Music]

What about that hand, Jim?

I wouldn't want to think you were

waiting just for me, Lieutenant. Those

traps have chased us two hours ahead of

schedule.

See, I don't want to wish him dead.

I'd sure hate to think what would happen

to George if those traps got a hold of

him. At least George fought back.

I don't know if it did any good, though.

It didn't any good. What are we and all

the other teams doing all this island

hopping for? All I meant was I didn't

know if it did George any good. I know

what you meant. This man has to do his

job.

Wonder how many Japs are looking for us.

About as many as there are on the

island. Well, I think I'll go take a

look.

You can't mistake the sound of a 45

caliber weapon.

You heard George's gun?

You think he turned it on himself?

That was Sip out there instead of

George.

Would he have left him?

We would have left him or you, not the

equipment.

Yeah, the airfield first.

That's right.

Your folks must have done a flip when

you joined up.

Yeah,

until they heard the CBS was a

construction outfit. They should see us

now. I wish my brother could.

Maybe he'd realize you can't just sit

home and shout peace.

Takes more than talk. I know talk didn't

solve the depression.

I'm a graduate of the WPA.

You're still working for the government.

Only this time they're paying me more

money.

What's a proof?

Proves they don't discriminate.

Everybody can get killed.

It might be worth it though if this is

the last war. It won't be. Why not? Cuz

I'm numbering him. That's why. There was

the first World War. Now we have World

War II. Three still follows two.

It'll stop. Who says it has to stop?

My brother

[Music]

We haven't lost him. Let's go.

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

[Music]

I know.

[Music]

Where are you?

[Music]

How do you coach?

[Music]

What?

Heat. Heat.

Yeah.

[Music]

Three Yankees. We chased him across the

water. You saw nothing. Hit McGee.

Daddy,

do great.

Hurry up.

[Music]

[Music]

That's it.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

There's about nine of them.

They're pushed. Maybe they've had it.

I'm tired.

[Music]

[Applause]

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

Have a good day.

[Music]

[Applause]

Zip your weapon. My face.

Look at my face.

I I almost yelled. A lousy palm rip my

face. We better get out of here.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

We never get out of that bathtub.

Down

my bag.

[Music]

You lose your eye.

[Music]

Wow.

[Music]

Hello.

[Music]

Captain,

Yankees,

how many?

Three. Only three? They must make very

lowly of us. Why do they think of us at

all? We have nothing. This island holds

no significance. All they can discover

is that we are a very unimportant

outpost. They are here for a purpose.

More may come against us. They are

harmless. Not yet. After we kill them,

then they will be harmless.

[Music]

You

How you doing, Lieutenant?

Better fix that before it sprouts

something.

This map looks like it's for some other

island. Got us this far.

See this area? That's a flat. We should

be there now.

Well, we've had a few delays. Yeah,

we're a little behind schedule.

We'll make it.

Can you imagine an airfield in this

slop? We're not here to imagine

anything. Just to get the facts back and

that's all.

He's a a little edgy.

Oh, I wonder why.

We're just a little off our path, a

little behind schedule. Jap's trying to

kill us a little and he's edgy.

Oh, I wonder. Come on, catch up.

Why is there no food? My men are tired

and hungry. Tired and hungry men can be

very mean. You cook something now

quickly.

Ah, you are all so tired. So tired.

I feel so sorry for you.

Do you remember how to kill? The Yankees

know how. Three of your comrades are

dead.

Bury them before the sunset.

Turn to the coat.

[Music]

Just about be there. According

to the map, the flat should be about 200

yds that way.

That's where we came. Maps like these

aren't perfect. Hey, Lieutenant, how

about me climbing that tree? I could see

for miles.

See that leaf?

the market for a sniper.

[Applause]

You think you can climb it, sit?

Why not? What do you say, Len?

Why not?

Looks like it grew a few feet. Can you

climb it?

Jabs can do it.

Give me your level,

Jim. Go back about 10 yards. Cover the

rear. I'll cover the front.

[Applause]

Okay.

[Music]

It's time

for you.

There's nothing.

[Music]

What are you doing?

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

[Music]

Saki. Saki for drinking.

[Music]

[Music]

Hayakamura. Hayako. Hayako.

[Music]

Thanks.

Let's get our equipment.

[Applause]

Boy, do you stink. Saki,

see the flat? Yeah, it's not far. Way we

were going. Poor Slavs.

Let's go. Heat.

[Applause]

[Music]

Heat.

Poor

slobs, huh? Jim on the whole island will

be here. Come on.

[Music]

Our

nerve center is a temptation for what?

To wire home.

Keep low.

[Music]

[Music]

Well, let's get into it.

[Music]

[Music]

It's no good.

They can build an airfield here. All

right. Only it'll sink.

That's okay with me. No airfield, no

invasion. At least nobody else will get

killed on this gun. What difference does

it make? It'll be another island.

We'll have to do it all over again. You

sure it's no good? Look,

there's no foundation.

It'll just be another pond or a swamp

after the first rain. So, what do we do

now?

Well, for one thing, we won't have to

survey it. Pick up about an hour anyway.

We can sure use it getting back. Take

one time to get back. They haven't been

able to get us with all the chances

they've had. Don't forget they get those

same chances again.

Any sense in lugging this stuff back?

Bury it in the reads. You, too, Jim.

The equipment gets a grave while George

rots in the sun. Sure makes sense,

doesn't it? Does it have to? That's

right. Don't cloud your mind with

thoughts.

Doesn't it bother you about George and

killing those japs at the tree? Oh,

look. Damn it. What are you? Something

special? What do you think I am? Some

kind of a maniac? A killer? You think I

enjoy this? Well, it's just you don't

seem to care. Why should I? I'm shooting

uniforms, not people.

If I had a [ __ ] uniform. Yeah,

it's not personal with me. Should it be?

I don't know.

That's enough.

[Music]

[Laughter]

[Music]

She is not a toy, a play thing. She is

here to work.

This is how you make ready for the

Yankees. Could it be after 2 years on

this island, you have forgotten that you

are soldiers? You find it difficult to

get excited about just three Americans.

We are just the beginning. If they

succeed, more will come. This will

impress the enemy. Not drinking saki.

Sigy, your rifle. Hotter.

I'm going to contact Lieutenant Watabi

and have half his men search the other

side of the island. The rest will return

with me to strengthen our position. Post

the men on perime at their guard. But

the men are tired, sir. Tired? But they

are still alive.

Tricky.

[Music]

I do what I am told. You do what you are

told.

[Music]

So lady came

up.

alone.

[Applause]

[Music]

We can play tag with them all day, but

it won't do us any good. You have a

choice. Yeah. One. Get back to the raft.

That's right. So, no more marking time.

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

Oh, I love

[Music]

[Laughter]

you.

Let's

What's up?

[Laughter]

[Music]

[Laughter]

that

[Music]

I know.

Bring me the girl.

You go. You weren't here. Where are my

maps?

[Music]

That had to be George. Maybe it was a

civil war. George wouldn't stop and

fight. He'd head for the raft. Maybe

that's where it was. Oh, lose the raft.

Great. No more cat and mouse. We head

straight back. Well, at least we know

what to expect. More or less. Meaning we

don't know what to expect.

You should let go. Move it. Give the

show.

[Music]

You're coming.

[Music]

Let's go around. We have time. We'll go

right through. I feel like running. Just

Just run like hell. What happens

happens. I'll be damned if we'll pass

this up. We've been pushed around long

enough.

Be just as easy to walk around

now.

[Music]

You hear that? They're in trouble. My

friends are in trouble. They should be

coming back now. I've got to get to the

raft.

[Music]

Nobody would believe what I did here.

Nobody.

How many were there? I should have

counted them, got their names.

Good name.

I must be nuts.

I'm going nuts.

[Music]

Yoshito, bring the captain back

immediately.

He will not be eating now.

Bring them out and line them up.

There's the pond. We're 20 to 30 yards

too far. Let's double back.

I

[Music]

All I could see was his face.

Yeah. Yeah, I saw it, too. Hey,

you know something?

He was scared, too.

What are you trying to do? Cheer me up?

[Applause]

Jim died.

I didn't die.

Oh god, did he scream.

Lieutenant,

I can make it. I'm ready to go anytime

you are.

Look, we had to leave George. He

couldn't walk.

You'll make it, Sip.

Come on.

[Music]

We don't need the clip.

[Music]

You know something, Lieutenant?

I thought when you got stabbed, you'd

die.

Hi, Cample.

Come on.

[Music]

This is the path that leads us to the

rock. What's the time?

Plenty of time. As long as we don't run

in any more of them. Well, let's get

going.

Yeah,

my friends. Yankees. Four.

Me. One. One. Three. Three Yankees will

come here. We must wait.

My el Yankee Holy May, come back. Come

back. You'll get yourself killed.

[Music]

in the back.

Okay.

Where are the Yankees? Which way did

they go?

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

I'm George.

Where's Jim?

Let's get out of here.

Come on, get in.

Where's the girl? What girl? Sir, she

went after you. There isn't any girl.

Come on. No, no, no, no, no. She helped

me. I have a map of all the

fortification on the island. She went

after you, sir. Let's get out of here.

It's unimportant. We'll bypass the

island. No.
