Kuroki: OUR ISLAND IS A LITTLE
CHUNK OF CORAL

IN THE SOLOMON
ARCHIPELAGO.

IT IS NAMELESS,

AND THE GREAT WAR BEYOND
ITS HORIZONS IGNORES US,

FOR WE ARE
THE EXPENDABLES

OF AN AMPHIBIOUS LANDING

LEFT TO GUARD
A FORGOTTEN OUTPOST

OF THE IMPERIAL
JAPANESE ARMY.

MONTHS AGO, OUR
COMMUNICATIONAL EQUIPMENT

WAS DESTROYED BY A STORM.

WE HAVE NO CONTACT
WITH OUR BASE.

I, LIEUTENANT KUROKI,
WHO IS REALLY 2 MEN,

2 ENEMIES AT WAR
WITH EACH OTHER--

THE SOLDIER WITH THE BLOOD
OF ANCIENT WARRIORS

IN HIS VEINS

AND THE MAN OF PEACE
WHO ADMIRES MEN'S WORKS

AND NOT
THEIR DESTRUCTION.

AS THE COMMANDER OF THIS
PLATOON OF CASTAWAYS,

I HAVE ORDERED THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A BOAT,

HOPING TO RESTORE OUR SUPPLY
LINE FROM BOUGAINVILLE.

THIS IS WORK HORSE 298.

WORK HORSE 298.
OVER. OVER.

CALLING OCTOPUS.

WORK HORSE 298...

EVERYBODY OUT
OF THIS FIRETRAP.

SERGEANT,
KICK THAT DOOR OUT.

ESCORT IS DOWN.
WE ARE HOLDING
FOR A FIX. OVER.

ALRIGHT,
LET'S MOVE.

MAYDAY. MAYDAY.
COME IN, PLEASE. OVER.

GOOD BOY.
YOU'LL GET CITED

FOR STICKING
TO YOUR STATION.

KEEP SENDING A FIX
ON OUR POSITION.

I ALSO WANT YOU TO
SEND THIS MESSAGE.

MARINE REPLACEMENTS

WITH MEDICAL AND
EMERGENCY SUPPLIES

HEADED FOR PELELIU

GROUNDED BY
ENEMY ATTACK.

CAPTAIN, SIR,
THIS RADIO IS SHOT TO HELL,

BUT I'LL FIX THIS THING, SIR.
YOU CAN BET ON THAT.

LET'S GO. COME ON.
MOVE IT.

MOVE IT.

YOU ALRIGHT,
FRANCIS?

YEAH, I'M FINE,
EXCEPT A BAD CASE
OF THE BREAKS.

LOOK AT THIS.

DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME
ORDER YOU OFF THE BUS?

YEAH, I HEARD YOU.

YOU NEED ME UP THERE?

ALL WE NEED UP THERE
IS A CHAPLAIN.

OH, I'M SORRY.

HEY, YOU. YOU CALL
YOURSELF A CORPSMAN?

I GOT INJURED MEN
OUT THERE.

INJURED?
THEY'RE BREATHING,
AIN'T THEY?

LOOK, YOU GET SOME OF YOUR
MALINGERING GREENHORNS

AND GET MY GEAR
OUT OF THERE.

I WAS ABOUT
TO GIVE THAT ORDER,

BUT I DON'T TAKE IT
FROM YOU.

YOU DO WHEN YOU
NEED A MEDIC, SONNY.

SLIP YOU A LITTLE
ADVICE, LIEUTENANT--

NEVER PULL RANK
ON A NAVY CHIEF.

I GO BY THE BOOK, SIR.

HE'S A RATE,
AND I'M COMMISSIONED.

CORPORAL RUFFINO,
TAKE A SQUAD OF MEN
IN THIS AIRPLANE

AND HUSTLE OUT THAT GEAR
ON THE DOUBLE.

Ruffino: YES, SIR.

BRAND-NEW, HUH?

YES, SIR.
I GUESS IT SHOWS.

WELL, HERE'S YOUR
NURSING BOTTLE.

YOU CAN SURE
CUT YOUR TEETH
ON THAT ONE.

WHOO-OOH!

THANK YOU, CAPTAIN.

SAY, HOW LONG
DOES IT USUALLY TAKE

FOR THE SHINY STUFF
TO WEAR OFF?

NOT VERY LONG
IN THIS SECTOR.

I HOPE NOT. I'M IN A HURRY
TO SEE SOME ACTION.

YOU'LL GET MORE JAPS

WALKING THAN RUNNING,
SON.

CAPTAIN, I JUST
WANTED TO TELL YOU

I REALLY ADMIRED HOW YOU
MADE THAT FORCED LANDING.

YOU CAN THANK
THE AIRPLANE.

IT'S BETTER THAN THE LAST
ONE I TRIED IT WITH.

LIEUTENANT, I'LL NEED
SOME OF YOUR MEN
FOR BURIAL DETAIL.

BURIAL DETAIL?

THERE'S 2 MEN UP
FRONT I DIDN'T SAVE.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

OH, THAT'S A BEAUTY.

PROBABLY A LITTLE
CONCUSSION,

BUT THE SHAPE YOUR
BRAIN'S ALREADY IN,

IT MAY BE
AN IMPROVEMENT.

WHAT'S BITING YOU
DOWN THERE?

NOTHIN'.
JUST A NERVOUS HABIT.

SEE ME LATER. I'LL FUMIGATE
YOUR BLANKETS AND YOU.

NEXT.

BETTER GO EASY
ON IT, DOC.

IT'S MY LOVING ARM.

SIT DOWN HERE,
LOVERBOY.

LOOKS LIKE
A DISLOCATION.

OW! DAMN YOU.

OKAY, PAL.
THANKS.

SEARCY,
WHAT'S THE MATTER?

I FIGURE I GOT A
HUNK OF PACKING CASE

IN MY BACK, DOC.

NOTHING UP MY
SLEEVE, HOXIE BOY.

DEAL YOU A HAND?

NOT NOW,
SLICKER.

YOU'RE ALREADY IN ME
FOR 1,000 BUCKS.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S
PEANUTS TO THIS GUY.

WHY, HIS OLD MAN OWNS
RHODE ISLAND!

WE PASSED
OVER GUADALCANAL

ABOUT 1000,

SO THAT SHOULD PLACE
US RIGHT ABOUT HERE.

THERE'S NO ISLAND
HERE ON THE MAP.

CORPSMAN,

I PRESUME THE CAPTAIN
RADIOED THE BASE

SO THEY'D KNOW
WHERE TO PICK US UP?

I COULDN'T SAY,

BUT MAYBE THAT WILL
ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

THAT'S A RADIO.

OR WHAT USED
TO BE A RADIO.

THEN THE BASE
DON'T KNOW WE'RE HERE, HUH?

NO, BUT RELAX, RELAX.
I'LL FIX IT.

HIM? THAT PUNK'S
SO STUPID,

HE COULDN'T FIX
A BUSTED SHOELACE.

THAT'S THE PILOT'S
RESPONSIBILITY.

CAPTAIN!

HEY, HEY, LIEUTENANT,

NOWADAYS, I WOULDN'T ADVISE
ANY YELLING IN ANY JUNGLE

ANYWHERE WEST OF THE
INTERNATIONAL DATE LINE.

YOU MEAN JAPS?

NAH.

NO SUCH LUCK AROUND
THIS STRIP OF NOWHERE.

NO STRATEGIC VALUE.

PROBABLY NOT EVEN
INHABITED.

CAPTAIN!

WE GOT COMPANY,
SIR.

JAPANESE.

POINT'S BROKEN OFF, BUT
IT AIN'T EVEN RUSTED.

NO. NO, THIS LOOKS
LIKE A FISHING SPEAR.

I FOUND A FOOTPATH
BACK IN THERE

AND FOLLOWED IT
DOWN TO A COVE.

JOIN THE JAP ARMY
AND GO FISHING.

IS THAT ALL THEM
SKIVVIES GOT TO DO?

WE BYPASSED
THIS POSITION LONG AGO

WHEN WE LANDED
ON BOUGAINVILLE.

PLUMB CUT THEM OFF,
HUH, SIR?

WHAT'S THE NAME
OF THE PLACE?

MEET THE NEIGHBORS,
YOU CAN ASK THEM.

JAPANESE.

THAT BLADE'S
JAPANESE ALRIGHT.

YOU MEN SEE IT?

WELL, LOOKS LIKE WE
FOUND SOME ACTION

AFTER ALL.
TELL YOU MEN--

LIEUTENANT,
YOU GOT ANY ORDERS

TO MOP UP
WAYSIDE ISLANDS?

CERTAINLY NOT, SIR--

YOU SAID YOU GO
BY THE BOOK.

YES, SIR.
JUST ONE OF THOSE
MATTERS OF JUDGMENT.

ALRIGHT, EVERY MAN
IN COMBAT CONDITION,

WANT YOU TO GRAB
YOUR WEAPONS

AND LET'S MOVE!
ON THE DOUBLE!

UNLESS THEY'RE
IN FORCE,

THERE WON'T BE A DIRTY
JAP AROUND TONIGHT.

DIRTY JAP, LIEUTENANT?

THEY INVENTED
THE BATHTUB.

WHAT?

YOU TALK LIKE A BIRD
WHO'S GONE ASIATIC.

YOU CAN SAY
THAT AGAIN, SIR.

I BEEN CLOSE
TO THE TOP BRASS, SEE,

AND I GOT THE SCUTTLEBUTT
ON THIS STEWBUM.

HE WOULDN'T COME
OUT OF THE RESERVE
UNTIL SINGAPORE FELL

'CAUSE HE WAS SHACKED UP
WITH SOME MALAY DAME.

OH, SERGEANT, THAT KIND
OF CRUDE LANGUAGE

WILL GET YOU NOWHERE
SOCIALLY.

I WAS HER HOUSE GUEST.

EVERYBODY, READY?

COUNT THEM OFF,
SERGEANT. LET'S MOVE!

FALL IN!

NOW, YOU WAIT JUST
A SECOND, CAPTAIN!

YOU TRYING TO TAKE
OVER MY COMMAND?

I'M JUST TRYING TO
HELP YOU KEEP IT ALIVE.

ATTENTION!

CORPORAL,
PICK YOURSELF ANOTHER MAN

AND GET OUT THERE
AND KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN.

YES, SIR. SEARCY.

YO!

NOW, LISTEN TO THIS...

YOU, LIEUTENANT,
AND YOU, SERGEANT,

I WANT TO TELL YOU A LITTLE
SOMETHING ABOUT THE ENEMY.

ASIDE FROM A FEW FANATICS,
HE'S A COOL COOKIE.

AND ON THIS ISLAND,
HE'S ON HIS HOME GROUNDS.

HE KNOWS THE TERRAIN,
YOU DON'T.

SO WE GIVE HIM THE COURTESY
OF MAKING THE FIRST MOVE.

AND GET THIS...

NEVER START SWINGING
AT ANY ENEMY IN ANGER,

OR YOU'LL WIND UP
GETTING CLOBBERED.

NOW, YOU OUGHT TO
KNOW THAT, SERGEANT.

THESE GRAVEDIGGERS
TELL ME

YOU'RE THE HEAVYWEIGHT
CHAMP IN YOUR DIVISION.

YEAH, WHEN I FIGHT,
I FIGHT MAD.

NOW, YOU SAID YOU WERE
CLOSE TO THE TOP BRASS.

KIND OF PAMPERED, HUH?

I GOT THE SCUTTLEBUTT
ON YOU, TOO.

YOU WERE A SCRAP PILOT.

LANDED ON YOUR HEAD
JUST ONCE TOO OFTEN.

IN THE HOSPITAL
FOR WEEKS.

I WAS MORE
COMFORTABLE THERE

THAN YOU'RE GONNA BE
IN THE BRIG.

WHAT BRIG?

YOU'RE GAMBLING
WE'RE STUCK
FOR THE DURATION,

JUNGLE LAW, NO MILITARY
COURT TO ANSWER TO. WELL--

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'LL
BE HELD TO ANSWER, SIR,

IF YOU BREAK THE
CHAIN OF COMMAND.

WELL, LIEUTENANT,
IT SEEMS YOU HAVEN'T
READ YOUR BIBLE

AS WELL AS YOU CLAIM.

ARTICLE 9, PAGE 33,
AND I QUOTE,

"ANY MILITARY PERSONNEL
ASSIGNED TO THE CARE AND CUSTODY

"OF THE COMMANDING OFFICER
OF ANY MILITARY TRANSPORT,

"WHETHER SEABORNE
OR AIRBORNE,

"SHALL OBEY ALL ORDERS OF
SAID COMMANDING OFFICER

UNTIL ARRIVAL AT DESTINATION."
UNQUOTE.

I'LL LOOK THAT UP
IN MY HANDBOOK, SIR.

ALRIGHT, UNDERSTAND THIS,
ALL OF YOU...

THE CHAIN OF COMMAND
WILL REMAIN AS IS.

YOUR PLATOON LEADER
IS LIEUTENANT BLAIR.

HE'LL CONSULT WITH
HIS SUPERIOR OFFICER

ON ALL MATTERS OF POLICY.

ME.

ALRIGHT,
AT EASE, MEN.

NOW, SERGEANT BLEEKER.

YES, SIR?

SEE THAT HILL
IN BACK OF ME?

YEAH, I SEE IT.

THAT'S WHERE WE'LL LOCATE
OUR BASE AND DEFENSE.

AS OF NOW, YOU'RE CAPTAIN OF
THE HEAD, SO START DIGGING.

ME?

YOU!

YOU FEEL LIKE GAMBLING,
SERGEANT?

GO RIGHT AHEAD.
GO FOR BROKE.

YOU THE OZARK MOUNTAIN BOY
I TALKED TO?

YES, SIR.
CORPORAL CRADDOCK.

ALRIGHT, CRADDOCK,
YOU'RE MY CHIEF SCOUT.

TONIGHT I'LL GO ON YOUR
FIRST MISSION WITH YOU.

MUCH OBLIGED,
SKIPPER.

LIEUTENANT, HAVE YOUR MEN
PACK THE SUPPLIES UP THE HILL,

START SETTING UP
OUR DEFENSE.

AND AS OF NOW
WE START CONSERVING
FOOD AND WATER.

OUR SUPPLIES ARE LIMITED.

SIR. FALL OUT
AND TURN TO.

YOU HEARD
THE COMMAND.

YOU GOT ANY MORE
POLICY, SIR?

YOU START LEARNING
TO FIGHT WITH YOUR BRAINS

INSTEAD OF YOUR FEELINGS.

I WANT TO WHIP THE ENEMY
AS MUCH AS YOU DO,

NOT BECAUSE HE'S JAPANESE,
BUT BECAUSE HE IS THE ENEMY.

NOW, THAT'S POLICY,
LIEUTENANT,
AND ONE THING MORE...

IN COMBAT,
YOU'LL LIVE A LOT LONGER
NOT BEING SALUTED

OR WEARING YOUR
INSIGNIA OF RANK.

THE ENEMY LIKES
TO KILL THE OFFICERS
AND NON-COMMS FIRST.

BREAKS UP THE CHAIN
OF COMMAND.

THANK YOU, SIR.

MMM.

CONSERVE THE WATER?

THAT'S BEST NEWS
I'VE HEARD

SINCE WE WHIPPED
THE JAPANESE AT MIDWAY.

WANT A DRINK?

GO EASY ON THAT
STUFF, FRANCIS.

WE'LL NEED WHISKEY
FOR MEDICINE.

YOU JUST SAVED ME
A DOZEN FUTURE
PATIENTS OVER THERE.

WELL, I FIGURE
WE'LL HAVE TO
PAY SOME LIVES,

BUT I'M
NO SPENDTHRIFT.

ALL THAT STUFF
YOU WERE SPOUTING

ABOUT REGULATIONS
AND ALL THAT STUFF,

IS THAT REALLY
IN THE BOOK?

FRANKLY, I DON'T KNOW.

I FIGURE THE LIEUTENANT
WILL LOOK IT UP.

NOT TOO SOON, HE WON'T,

'CAUSE WHILE YOU WERE
INDOCTRINATING THE TROOPS,

I SNATCHED THIS OUT
OF HIS DUFFEL BAG.

HEY. WELL,
WHAT DO YOU KNOW.

FRANCIS,
I APPRECIATE THAT.

NOTHING AT ALL,
CAPTAIN.

VERY INTERESTING.

HAVEN'T READ IT
SINCE I WAS A KID.

IF YOU HAD, YOU'D HAVE
BEEN A COLONEL BY NOW.

THIS IS MIGHTY PECULIAR
SCOUTING, SKIPPER.

NOW YOU JUST WATCH.

THEY'LL COME TO US.

YOU CAN SEE THAT LIGHT
FROM ANY HILLTOP.

YEAH, BUT THAT
SURE IS DIRTY POOL.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

WAIT TILL THE WHOLE
DETAIL'S IN THE OPEN.

[GUNSHOT]

AAH!

[GUNFIRE]

I'M TAKING
NO MORE ORDERS

TO SIT HERE
ON MY LARD.

REMEMBER ARTICLE 9,
LIEUTENANT,

PAGE, UH...WHAT PAGE
DID HE SAY?

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED
TO THAT DAMN HANDBOOK.

I LOST IT SOMEWHERE.
BUT I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES
HE'S FAKING.

COME ON!

I SMELL A GRENADE.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

Kuroki:
OF THE 2 MEN IN ME,

ONLY THE HARD-NOSED
SOLDIER

CAN BE UNDERSTOOD
BY SERGEANT TAMURA.

DEFYING MY ORDER.

RISKING LIVES ON SOME
CRAZY NIGHT ADVENTURE.

TO HIM,
PATIENCE IS WEAKNESS,

AND THE RATIONAL MAN
IS A FOOL.

I WAS TRAINED
FOR COMBAT, SIR,

AND NO FLIGHT OFFICER'S
GOT A LICENSE TO KEEP ME
OUT OF ACTION!

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

DIDDLEY SQUAT!

WHAT THE HELL WOULD A PILOT
KNOW ABOUT INFANTRY TACTICS?

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

CORPORAL CRADDOCK,
YOU'RE A WITNESS

TO ARMED DEFIANCE
OF AUTHORITY.

YES, SIR.

THAT'S CRAZY!

NOW, TAKE YOUR GRAVEL CRUNCHERS
BACK UP THAT HILL

AND BE THANKFUL
I'M A LENIENT MAN!

YES, SIR.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

WHO THE HELL
YOU WORKING FOR,

US OR THE JAPS?

HOW LONG YOU
BEEN CUTTING HAIR?

YOU'RE MY FIRST
CUSTOMER, JUGHEAD.

I WONDER WHERE OUR
BIG MILITARY BRAIN

FROM THE WILD BLUE
YONDER IS.

PROBABLY OUT
STUDYING GEOGRAPHY.

YEAH, HOPE TO HELL HE
KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING
ON THE GROUND.

HE DOES, PAL.

DIDN'T HE TELL YOU

HE USED TO BE
A GROUND POUNDER?

NO.

YEAH, SO HE
DIDN'T LIKE FIGHTING
AND TOOK TO THE AIR.

ME, I DON'T
RECOGNIZE NO C.O.

EXCEPT LIEUTENANT
BLAIR HERE.

MOUTH FIGHTERS.

WHAT DO YOU WANT
US TO BE, SCARED?

YEAH, BETTER YOU
SHOULD BE, BOOT.

THEY TRANSFERRED ME
TO THIS NURSERY

TO LEARN YOU THAT.

SAY, I HEAR YOU KILLED
YOUR SHARE AT GUADAL.

YEAH, AND I WAS SCARED
ALL THE TIME.

THAT'S WHY I'M
STILL HERE, KIDDIES.

HALT!
WHO GOES THERE?

DANIEL BOONE.

LIEUTENANT, CAPTAIN
WAS RIGHT, SIR.

WE'D HAVE BEEN
REAL DEAD

TRYING TO GET
AT THAT CAMP.

HOW BIG IS
THEIR OUTFIT,
CRADDOCK?

WELL, I CAN'T SAY
FOR SURE, SIR.

I WAS TOO BUSY DUCKING
THEIR OUTPOSTS,

BUT THEY GOT A SMART LOCATION
WITH A SUPPLY WHARF

THAT DON'T LOOK
LIKE IT'S BEEN
USED MUCH LATELY.

YOU'D HAVE TO SWIM
TO GET AT THEM
ON THE BAY SIDE,

AND THEY GOT A BIG OLD
LOOKOUT HILL
OVER ON THE EAST.

BRAMBLES AT THE
OTHER APPROACHES

ARE WORSE
THAN POISON IVY.

THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE
MIGHTY INTERESTING, SIR.

WHAT'S THAT?

THEY'RE BUILDING
A BOAT.

WELL, THAT IS
INTERESTING.

MAYBE THEY'RE
BUILDING IT FOR US.

YEAH.

THEY CAN KEEP IT.

THE KIND OF BOAT
I'M LOOKING FOR

IS ONE OF THOSE
GRAY BUCKETS

WITH THE BIG, FAT
STARS AND STRIPES ON IT.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

WELL, I AIN'T
BEEN DRINKING.

MUST BE YOUR POWER
OF SUGGESTION.

NO, SIR, MY BOY.
THAT'S GENUINE AMERICAN NAVY.

WHOO!

LOOKS MIGHTY GOOD
TO ME, CORPSMAN.

HA HA HA!
TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU
DOING ABOUT IT?

WELL, WE JUST NOW
IDENTIFIED HER
AS U.S.

WE GOT TO TRY AND
SIGNAL THAT SHIP.

KELLER, IMPROVISE
SOME SMOKE POTS.

RIGHT AWAY, SIR.

SHE'S SEARCHING FOR US
BECAUSE WE'RE OVERDUE,

SEARCHING THE WATER
BECAUSE I PLOWED
IN THAT AIRPLANE

CLEAN OUT OF SIGHT
OF THE OCEAN.

LIEUTENANT,
YOU PICK SOME MEN
AND COME WITH ME.

BLEEKER, YOU STAY HERE
AND GUARD THE CAMP WITH
THE REST OF THE MEN.

MOVE OUT.

HOLD IT.

ALRIGHT, SPREAD OUT
AND MOVE SLOW.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

GET IN THERE AND LIGHT
THOSE POTS ON THE DOUBLE.

[GUNSHOTS]

YOU SEE ANYTHING,
CAPTAIN?

NO.

IS IT A SNIPER?

MUST BE. I DON'T
SEE ANYBODY.

YEAH, YOU LEARNED YOUNG,
MARINE.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

WAIT A MINUTE.

THEY GOT TO HAVE
SOMETHING MORE THAN
THAT GOING FOR 'EM.

THEY COULD HAVE PINNED US
DOWN ON THIS BEACH
FOR A WEEK.

[SHELL APPROACHES]

HIT THE DECK!

YOU STUPID BUMS!

YOU'RE FIRING
AT YOUR FRIENDS!

LIEUTENANT, OVER HERE.

THEY CAN'T SEE THE COLOR
OF YOUR EYES,

BUT THEY CAN SEE THAT.

WELL, I GUESS
WE'VE HAD IT.

THEY DON'T EVEN
THINK THIS ISLAND'S

WORTH MUCH
SHOOTING AT.

I GUESS WE'LL
BE HERE FOREVER.

IT'LL SEEM LONGER
THAN THAT.

Kuroki: SO NOW IT APPEARS
THAT WE AND OUR ENEMY

ARE ABOUT EVEN
IN MEN AND WEAPONS

AND BAD LUCK.

THEY, TOO, ARE MAROONED

WITH NO MEANS
OF COMMUNICATION.

IT WAS PLAIN THEY
COULDN'T RADIO THEIR SHIP.

TO ADJUST TO OUR STONE-AGE
STANDARD OF LIVING

WILL NOT BE EASY FOR THEM.

EVIDENTLY, THEY HAVE
NO PROVIDER

LIKE MY GOOD,
SIMPLE-MINDED OKUDA.

[WHISTLING]

I'VE BEEN WAITING
FOR YOU, MAC.

YOU'RE SURE
A SLOWPOKE.

I WANT YOU TO ANSWER ME
A FEW QUESTIONS, BOY.

FIRST OFF,
HOW MANY MEN

YOU GOT SCATTERED
AROUND THIS ISLAND?

COME ON, BOY.

YOU'RE BEING
INTERROGATED.

CAN'T YOU TALK
A LITTLE ENGLISH?

YOU LISTEN TO ME.

IF YOU'RE JUST GIVING ME
A DUMB ACT,

I'M GOING TO REAM
YOUR BELLY BUTTON.

OH, SHUCKS.

I NEVER COULD
STICK A GUY

WHEN HE WAS SMILING
AT ME.

THE FACT IS...
WHERE I COME FROM,

WE DON'T SHOOT NOBODY

WHOSE GOT A KNACK
FOR CATFISH

OR SOUR MASH.

HOW DO YOU LIKE-UM
CIGARETTES, TOJO?

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

GOOD HOT WAMPUM
FROM PX.

SEE YOU AGAIN, BOY,
AND WE'LL TALK SOME MORE.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

YEAH, BABY.

Kuroki: HOW STRANGE
ARE THESE BARBARIANS--

FEROCIOUS, YET CAPABLE
OF HUMAN REASONING.

"WE DON'T SHOOT NOBODY
WHO'S GOT A KNACK FOR FISH."

SO, THIS AFTERNOON,

I UNDERTAKE
AN INTELLIGENCE MISSION.

FINALLY, I DISCOVER
WHAT I AM REALLY LOOKING FOR--

THEIR COMMANDER,

MY COLLEAGUE
IN THE GAME OF DEATH.

OH, YES, I KNOW HIM AT ONCE

BY HIS LONELY DETACHMENT
FROM THE OTHERS.

CAPTAIN, I THINK
IT'S MY DUTY TO TELL YOU

THESE MEN ARE FED UP
WITH YOUR KIND OF WAR!

I DIDN'T CHOOSE
THIS KIND.

YOU CLAIM
YOU'RE IN COMMAND.

I'M IN COMMAND.

THEN ATTACK!

SIR.

LIEUTENANT, A FRONTAL ATTACK
ON THEIR TERMS

WOULD SURE
ACCOMMODATE THEM.

YES, INDEEDY.

BEGGING THE LIEUTENANT'S
PARDON, SIR,

BUT IF WE HIT
THAT CAMP,

THEY'D CHOP US
INTO DOG MEAT.

CORPORAL RUFFINO.
YES, SIR.

WHAT'S YOUR OPINION
ON THIS MATTER?

I'D SAY THAT THEY'RE TOO SMART
TO ATTACK OUR HILL POSITION,

SO I GUESS IT'S GUERRILLA
TACTICS ALL THE WAY.

THEY'VE GOT THE ADVANTAGE
THERE, TOO--FOOD AND WATER.

WE'RE ON SHORT RATIONS
WITH VERY LITTLE

TO WASH 'EM DOWN WITH
BUT COCONUT MILK.

I'VE SPOTTED THEIR
WATER SUPPLY.

IT'S A SPRING WELL
OVER TO THE WEST.

BUT THEY SURE
GOT IT SECURED.

MY MEN COULD TAKE IT!
THEY'RE MARINES!

NO, THEY'RE NOT MARINES

TILL THEY START
GROWING SOME BRAINS.

YOU TELL THEM, CAPTAIN.

HE WAS IN BOOT CAMP BEFORE
THEY INVENTED THE AIRPLANE.

WHO AM I TO CONTRADICT
AN OLD SALT

WHO WAS WITH DECATUR
AT TRIPOLI?

HAS-BEENS.

HAS-BEENS.

WHAT WAS IT HE SAID
ABOUT JUNGLE LAW?

WELL, WE FINALLY GOT IT,
AIN'T WE?

NOW, YOU GUYS TAKE YOUR ORDERS
FROM THE LIEUTENANT.

I'LL HANDLE THE FLYBOY.

YOU DUMB SLOB.

YOU'RE LUCKY YOU DON'T
WORK FOR A JAP C.O.

HE'D PUT YOU IN
THAT GRAVE.

I'D MAKE SUKIYAKI OUT OF HIM.
THAT GOES FOR YOU, TOO.

ANYBODY ELSE?

LAST CALL FOR GRIPERS,
AND I MEAN LAST!

CAPTAIN!

I CONSIDER IT MY DUTY
TO APOLOGIZE, SIR,

AND REQUEST A DECK COURT
FOR THAT MAN.

FORGET IT, LIEUTENANT.

WE'RE GOING TO NEED EVERY
BIG BABOON WE CAN HOUSEBREAK.

NOW, LET'S SEE
IF WE CAN'T WORK TOGETHER
AND FIGURE OUT A WAY

TO GET OFF THIS WORTHLESS
SCAB ON THE OCEAN.

Kuroki:
I COULD EASILY KILL HIM NOW

AT THE COST OF MY OWN LIFE.

I HAVE BEEN TAUGHT
THAT DEATH IS PURITY.

AND SOMETIMES,
THE CALL TO DIE

IS A STRONGER WINE
THAN LIFE.

HE STILL LIVES TODAY

BECAUSE IN THE LONELINESS
OF COMMAND,

WE ARE BROTHERS.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

DAMN!

THEY MUST'VE MADE THAT ONE
AT LOCKHEED.

WELL, I'LL TELL YA,

I TAKE 'EM AS A GOOD SIGN
WE'RE GETTIN' CLOSE
TO WATER.

NOW, WE'LL WAIT HERE
FOR CRADDOCK,

THEN WE'LL GO ON
TO THE SPRING.

HEY, HOXIE,

I'LL MAKE BOOK WITH YOU
ON WHO DRINKS FIRST.

ALRIGHT, SLICKER,
YOU'RE ON.

DOUBLE WHAT I OWE YOU
OR NOTHING THAT I BEAT YOU
TO THE WATER.

ALRIGHT. WE'LL
ADVANCE BUT SLOWLY.

Searcy: WISH TO HELL
I'D BROUGHT MORE CANTEENS.

Hoxie: OH, MAN,
IT'S A BEAUT.

YEAH...

BUT THIS IS AS CLOSE
AS WE'LL GET.

WHAT, SIR?

I PLAN TO GRAB
THE JAPANESE BOAT.

OUR ACTION HERE IS JUST
A FEINT TO DRAW THEM
AWAY FROM IT.

SIR, WE GOT TO
HAVE SOME WATER!

THAT SPRING WILL BE
THERE ANYTIME.

THE BOAT WON'T.

FIGURE THEY BUILT IT
TO CONTACT
THEIR MAIN FORCE.

IT'S OUR BEST BET, TOO.

WATCH THE ACTION,
GENTS.

NO, YOU IDIOT!

IT DON'T MAKE SENSE,
SKIPPER.

YES, IT DOES.

COME ON, YOU GUYS.

THE SEARCY LUCK'S
PROTECTING YOU.

COME ON.

NO! DAMN IT!
COME BACK HERE!

[GUNSHOTS]

I'M SORRY I JUMPED
THE COMMAND, SIR.

GET BACK TO MALONEY.
YOU'RE NO GOOD TO ME.

YES, SIR.

CRADDOCK.

YES, SIR.

I WANT YOU
TO MAKE LIKE A PLATOON.

SPREAD THEM THIN
AND ENCIRCLE INDIAN-STYLE.

MAKE THE ENEMY C.O.
THINK THERE'S SO MANY OF YOU

HE'LL SEND REINFORCEMENTS.

WHEN YOU GET
THE MERRY-GO-ROUND GOING,
LEAVE ROTH IN CHARGE.

YOU AND BLEEKER JOIN ME
AT RENDEZVOUS TIDEWATER.

YES, SIR.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[YAWNING]

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[SINGING BADLY]

[TWIG SNAPS]

WHO GOES THERE?

OPERATION IDIOT.

AIN'T NOTHING
HOLDING THAT BOAT

BUT 2 LITTLE OL'
PIECES OF ROPE.

THEY CAN CAST HER OFF
ON THE RUN.

FINE. NOW GET THIS--

WE CAN'T FLOAT HER
OVER THE REEF
BEFORE THE DAWN TIDE.

WHEN THE MOON
GOES DOWN,

YOU WADE OUT
AND BOARD HER.

KEEP YOUR POWDER
HIGH AND DRY,

AND REMEMBER,

YOUR DESTINATION
IS SANTA ISABEL.

YOU GOT THE CHART?

YES, SIR.

ANY QUESTIONS?

NO, SIR.

GOOD LUCK.

GET THAT MAN!

THE BOAT!
IT'S BURNING!

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[YELLING IN JAPANESE]

AAH!

[GUNSHOT]
AAH!

Kuroki: THE DREAM OF HOPE
IS ASHES,

BUT THE FURY
THAT DESTROYED IT

IS STILL AFLAME.

HOWEVER, EVEN HATRED
HAS ITS RITUALS.

WE AND THE ENEMY

HAVE PAUSED TO HONOR
THE DEAD

AND GIRD FOR MORE.

HERE SLEEPS ANDO
THE CARPENTER,

WHO, LIKE ADAM,

BUILT HIS LOVE
OUT OF NOTHING,

OUT OF HIS RIB,
AS THE STORY GOES.

ANDO AND HIS BOAT.

HE LOVED HER LIKE A WIFE

AND DIED WITH HER.

AND HERE LIES ARIKAWA,

WHO SO BOLDLY
CHARGED THE BOAT.

AND HERE IS THE MARINE
WHO TRADED HIS LIFE

FOR A DRINK OF WATER.

HOW FOOLISH
THAT ANYONE MUST DIE

FOR WANT OF WATER

ON A PLANET

IT'S NOT A SALUTE
YOU'LL BE NEEDING.

IT'S A LESSON
IN THE WAYS OF LOVE.

TAKE HEED,
YOU FORNICATORS.

BRIDLE YOUR LUST FOR
YOUR NEIGHBORS' GEISHA.

'TIS THE ITEM OF THE
BOAT I'M SPEAKING OF,

MY STUPID FRIENDS.

SHE WAS A LOVER
TO THE JAPANESE.

MEN ARE STRONGEST

WHEN THEY'RE PROTECTING
THEIR DARLINGS.

LOOK, WHAT WE DON'T HERE
IS A DRUNKEN IRISH POET.

I ORDERED YOU
TO LAY OFF THE WHISKEY.

OKAY, CAPTAIN BOURKE.

I'M SOBER ENOUGH
TO SAY I'M SORRY,

AND I'M...
SORRY FOR YOU, TOO.

SO YOUR BUMS
DIDN'T LIKE MY HEADS
ENOUGH TO STICK AROUND.

YOU WON'T FIND
NO BETTER IN HELL.

IF THEY COULD
HEAR ME,

I'D PROMISE EACH
OF THEM A DEAD JAP.

Kuroki: CAPTAIN!

I WISH TO SPEAK TO
THE AMERICAN CAPTAIN.

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

I HEAR YOU.
WHO ARE YOU?

LIEUTENANT KUROKI.

I WISH TO NEGOTIATE
WITH YOU PRIVATELY.

I'LL TAKE CARE
OF THE CREEP.

NOW YOU STAY PUT,
SHAVETAIL.

YOU ALONE?

YES. OF COURSE.

WHERE?

50 METERS EAST
WILL DO.

IF YOU TRY BARGING IN,
LIEUTENANT, I'LL KILL YOU.

DAMN MANIAC
WOULD, TOO.

VERY TRUSTING
OF YOU TO COME...

UNARMED.

MY APOLOGIES.

YOU THE
COMMANDING OFFICER?

ONLY THE ACTING C.O.,

AS A RESULT
OF CASUALTIES

IN OUR BATTALION COMMAND.

BATTALION?

YOU MUST HAVE THEM
WELL DISPERSED.

YOU WOULD NEED
AIR RECONNAISSANCE

TO SPOT ALL THE UNITS.

YEAH? WELL, I'M
FRESH OUT OF AIRPLANES.

AND WE ARE BOTH...

OUT OF
COMMUNICATIONAL EQUIPMENT.

WELL, NO MATTER.

MY TRANSPORT WAS CARRYING
DOUBLE TROOP CAPACITY.

ALL SEASONED VETERANS.

GOT MOST OF THEM
DEPLOYED IN THE HILLS.

SO MANY
AND SO THIRSTY, EH?

I WOULDN'T
SNOW YOU ON THAT.

A LITTLE HONESTY
IS REFRESHING.

YEAH.

PARDON ME
FOR TESTING YOURS.

IT'S PERFECTLY
ALRIGHT.

I WAS AFRAID IT WAS MAKING YOU
UNCOMFORTABLE IN THERE.

WHAT ELSE IS
BUGGING YOU, LIEUTENANT?

WHY DID YOU
CALL ME OUT HERE?

I NEED THE SERVICES
OF YOUR DOCTOR

FOR A SOLDIER
WITH A GANGRENOUS LEG.

IN RETURN,

YOU MAY FILL YOUR CANTEENS
AT THE SPRING.

NOW, THAT'S NOT
MUCH OF A FEE

FOR A MAN WHO'S SPENT
HALF HIS LIFE

IN MEDICAL COLLEGE.

I WILL ADD
20 LITRES OF POTATOES.

AND FISH?

10 KILOS
OF DRIED FISH.

ALRIGHT.
IT'S A DEAL.

I'LL DELIVER
MY MEDIC TO YOU

AT THE SPRING
IN ABOUT...

SAY, ONE HOUR
FROM NOW.

RIGHT.

MALONEY!

YOU'RE KIDDING.

LIKE HELL I AM.

I'M TRADING
YOUR SERVICES
FOR WATER AND FOOD.

BUT IN SINGAPORE
I GOT REAL DOUGH.

YEAH, BUT THEY CAN'T
DEPORT YOU HERE

FOR PRACTICING
WITHOUT A DIPLOMA.

YOU GOT A BIG MOUTH,
AND THEY'LL ALSO PROBABLY

STICK A BAYONET IN MY GUT IF
THE PATIENT COMES UP KAPUT.

DON'T BE CRASS.
I GAVE HIM
THE IMPRESSION

YOU'RE
A HIGHLY-EDUCATED M.D.

YOU'RE SO GOOD
TO ME, CAPTAIN.

I'M ALSO
PROMOTING YOU TO MY
CHIEF OF INTELLIGENCE.

I EXPECT YOU
TO SCOUT THEIR CAMP,

GIVE ME A REPORT
ON MATERIALS
AND MANPOWER.

NOW YOU'RE GIVING ME
A CHANCE TO GET SHOT
AS A SPY.

WELL, NOTHING'S
TOO GOOD FOR MY BOY.

THAT'S WHAT I MEAN.

CHOKES ME UP
RIGHT THERE.

HEH. YOU...

[YELLING IN JAPANESE]

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[YELLING IN JAPANESE]

I APPRECIATE
YOUR VISIT, DOCTOR.

YOU, UH, GOT
A LITTLE PROBLEM HERE?

HE WANTED TO
TURN OUT THE TROOPS
IN YOUR HONOR,

BUT THEY'LL NEED
THEIR SLEEP

BEFORE THEY RELIEVE
THE OTHER UNITS.

OH, SURE, DON'T LET ME
UPSET ANYTHING, PAL.

THIS WAY, PLEASE.

CHILLS AND FEVER.
MALARIA?

QUININE.

I'LL TAKE IT.

HERE, KEEP THESE.
WE'VE GOT
PLENTY OF THEM.

THANKS.

IF YOU PLEASE.

ONE OF THE WORST
JAPANESE HABITS

IS TO WASTE MATERIALS
WHEN THEY ARE PLENTIFUL.

AND NOW
TO YOUR PATIENT, DOCTOR.

EXCUSE ME.

TAMURA.

CUP OF WATER, PLEASE.

THANK YOU.

THIS IS SULFAMETHANE.

IT'LL RELAX HIM.

MAYBE EVEN HELP KILL
THE PAIN A LITTLE BIT.

SOME CAPTAIN I GOT.

HE'S CRAZY.

I BEG YOUR PARDON?

HE'S CRAZY.

HE THINKS I CAN DO SURGERY
WITH A FIRST-AID KIT.

LIEUTENANT, THE LEG'S
GOT TO BE AMPUTATED,

OTHERWISE THIS BOY'S
GOING TO DIE.

AND HE MIGHT DIE ANYWAY.

[SOLDIERS GASP]

I WOULD'VE BROKEN IT
TO YOU EASIER, SON,

BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW.

THAT'S RIGHT,
THROW THEM AWAY.

IT'S A COMPOUND OF ARSENIC,
STRYCHNINE, AND SPANISH FLY.

I DOUBT THAT, DOCTOR.

SO DO I, LIEUTENANT,

BECAUSE THAT'S TOUGHER
TO GET THAN QUININE.

I'M FRESH OUT
OF PHARMACY ANTISEPTIC,

AND I BEEN HIDING THIS
FROM THE CHILDREN.

IF ANY OF YOU ROCK HEADS
DON'T TRUST ME

GIVING IT TO THE KID,
JUST SAY THE WORD,

AND YOU'LL MAKE ME
VERY HAPPY.

SAVE IT, PLEASE...

FOR THE PATIENT.

LIEUTENANT...

I'M A BAND-AID MAN.
I'M NOT A SURGEON.

I PUT MERCUROCHROME
ON THE SCRATCHES OF THE GUYS.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

HE SAYS FOR YOU
TO TAKE OFF THE LEG.

NO. NO, I HAVEN'T EVEN
GOT A BONE SAW IN MY KIT.

WE STILL HAVE
ANDO'S SAW.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

WHAT THE HELL
KIND OF A BUTCHER

DO YOU THINK
I AM, PAL?

[CHANTING]

HE SOME
KIND OF PRIEST?

BUDDHIST.

I HOPE
HE'S GOT CONNECTIONS.

HE FEELS IF HE MUST DIE
WITHOUT THE OPERATION,

HE MIGHT AS WELL DIE
WITH IT.

SERGEANT...

HOLD THAT OVER THE FLAME
AND STERILIZE IT.

LIEUTENANT...

WHEN I TELL YOU
TO MAKE THIS TIGHTER...

YOU TIGHTEN IT UP
REAL GOOD.

IT'S RIGHT OVER
THE MAIN ARTERY RIGHT THERE.

THAT'S ENOUGH.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[CHANTING]

DON'T JUST LOOK DOWN AT ME.

PLEASE HELP ME.

[SCREAMING]

CAPTAIN...

YOU HAVE A MOST
REMARKABLE DOCTOR.

YEAH, I KNOW.
HE PULLED ME
THROUGH ONCE.

LIEUTENANT, REMEMBER
THE ANTITETANUS.

BUT BE CAREFUL
WITH THAT JUICE.
IT CAN BE ROUGH.

OF COURSE, IF HE STARTS
BLEEDING AGAIN,

USE PLENTY OF STYPTIC
AND THE PAIN KILLERS

AND OF COURSE
THE SULFA DRUG.

YES.

THANK YOU
FOR EVERYTHING.

EVERYTHING.

WHY ARE WE TRYING
TO KILL EACH OTHER?

OLD TRIBAL CUSTOM.

OUR FIGHT IS JUST
ABOUT THAT ARCHAIC.

YOU'RE SO RIGHT.

I'M NO LONGER OF ANY
MILITARY VALUE TO JAPAN.

NOR ARE YOU
TO THE UNITED STATES.

I'M MAROONED UP TO MY EARS
IN GREENHORNS.

WHAT HAPPENED TO
THE SEASONED VETERANS?

WELL, AFTER SEEING
SOME OF YOUR BOYS,

I FIGURED
I DIDN'T NEED THEM.

LOOK, YOU AND I
ARE PROFESSIONALS.

WE MIGHT JUST AS WELL LEVEL
WITH EACH OTHER.

PROFESSIONAL?

WELL...

PERHAPS I AM
BY HERITAGE.

SO, UH, I THINK THERE'S
A NEXT MOVE, CAPTAIN,

WHICH WE SHOULD CONSIDER
WITH PROFESSIONAL CALM.

A TRUCE.

YES.

WITH ONE
RESERVATION.

IF EITHER OF US
AGAIN BECOMES A PART

OF THE WAR POTENTIAL
OF HIS COUNTRY,

WE FIGHT.

WELL, THAT GOES
WITHOUT SAYING.

THEN A TRUCE IT IS.

AND ALL THE WATER
YOU CAN DRINK.

Kuroki: I HAVE NO DELUSIONS
ABOUT THIS UNEASY PEACE.

IT IS A SLEEPING TIGER

WHICH COULD BE AROUSED
BY TRESPASSERS.

AND YET THERE IS ONE

FOR WHOSE VISITS
I AM THANKFUL.

[SINGING IN JAPANESE]

MAYDAY, MAYDAY.

THIS IS
WORK HORSE 298.

MAYDAY, MAYDAY.

THIS IS WORK HORSE 298
CALLING ANYBODY.

COME IN, PLEASE. OVER.

COME ON, BABY.

COME ON, PLEASE, BABY,
YOU CAN DO IT.

[HAWAIIAN MUSIC]

I TOLD YOU
I COULD DO IT.

DIDN'T I? I TOLD YOU!

ALRIGHT, YOU GOT
THE RECEIVER WORKING FINE.

WHAT ABOUT
THE TRANSMITTER?

OH, DON'T YOU WORRY
ABOUT THAT.

I'LL FIX THAT, TOO.

YOU JUST KEEP
PUMPING. SIR.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

LIKE I TRIED
TO TELL YOU, SIR,

THIS TRUCE
NEVER MADE SENSE.

I REGRET TO SAY
THE LIEUTENANT
IS CORRECT.

AND YOU KNOW WHY!

BECAUSE YOU TOOK IT AS
AN INVITATION TO
SEND A SPY ON THE PROWL!

THAT WASN'T
BY MY ORDERS.

AW, SHOVE IT!
AND DON'T FORGET THE DUCK!

YOU JUST
SAY THE WORD, CAPTAIN.
JUST SAY THE WORD!

[THUNDER]

I SAW THIS ONCE
ON MINDANAO.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

WE ARE GOING TO NEED
ALL HANDS AT THE WELL.

IF WE DON'T DIKE IT,

WE'LL BE DRINKING
SALT WATER.

WE'LL SECURE
OUR SUPPLIES

AND MEET YOU
AT THE WELL.

AND YOU MAKE SURE
YOU BRING ALL YOUR MEN.

YOU, TOO.

ALRIGHT, COME ON,
LET'S MOVE!

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

THERE'S SOME GOOD TREES
JUST RIGHT FOR CUTTING

RIGHT ON TOP OF THE HILL.

LIEUTENANT!

YOU GOLD BRICKER,

I TOLD YOU TO BRING
ALL YOUR MEN!

THIS IS ALL.
YOU HAVEN'T MANY EITHER.

MALONEY TOLD ME YOU HAD
AT LEAST 2 COMPANIES.

OH, I'M SURPRISED
HE BELIEVED THAT FAKE.

AW, IT'S GETTING TO WHERE
YOU CAN'T EVEN TRUST

YOUR NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR.

LET'S GO.
GET THOSE SANDBAGS.

PUT THAT LOG
AROUND THERE.

GET IT UP THERE,
WILL YOU? IT'S HEAVY.

COME ON,
LET'S GO, GANG.

I SALVAGED THE RADIO,
SKIPPER,

THEN I STASHED IT AWAY.

ANYBODY SEE YOU?

NO, SIR.

ALRIGHT, LET'S MOVE IT,
MOVE IT, MOVE IT!

COME ON, MOVE IT, MOVE IT,
MOVE IT, BOYS!

AAH!

[YELLS IN JAPANESE]

THANKS FOR...

THANKS
FOR PULLING ME OUT.

DON'T THANK ME.
THANK HIM.

HIM?

YEAH.

WELL, I'LL BE
A SON OF A BUCK.

YEAH.

[HUMMING]

YUP.

BE IT EVER SO HUMBLE,
THIS IS IT.

FOR THE REST
OF OUR LIVES PERHAPS.

UNLESS THAT
RADIO CONTACT YOU MADE

CHANGES YOUR PROSPECTS.

A HULA CONTEST
AT WAIKIKI BEACH?

THAT WAS A BIG HELP.

YOUR SIGNALMAN WAS OPERATING
IN THE TRANSPORT.

NOW NO MORE TRANSPORT,
NO MORE RADIO.

I WENT LOOKING
FOR THAT AIRCRAFT

WHILE THE REST OF YOU
WERE SLEEPING.

I LOOKED
FOR IT, TOO,

WHILE YOU THOUGHT
I WAS SLEEPING.

WE DIDN'T FIND MUCH,
DID WE?

NO.

I REGRET WE'LL LEAVE
SO FEW RELICS FOR POSTERITY

ON THIS ISLE
OF THE UNBLESSED--

LOW-BROW SKULL FRAGMENTS
OF MACHINE-AGE MAN,

REMNANTS OF FIREARMS,

AND PERHAPS
A WELL-PRESERVED MANUSCRIPT

AS ANCIENT AS CUNEIFORM.

YOURS?

I WAS A STAFF WRITER
FOR VARIOUS PERIODICALS.

CAN'T BREAK THE HABIT.

I'LL BE DARNED.

I HAD YOU PEGGED AS
A BONA FIDE SAMURAI.

NO.

THERE IS NOT ROOM
IN THIS HEART

FOR THE WARRIOR.

IT'S TOO CROWDED.

WHAT'S HER NAME?

KEIKO.

WE WERE MARRIED

ON THE DAY
I LEFT FOR THE WAR,

IN MY HOUSE AT
THE FOOT OF MOUNT FUJI.

MY FAMILY'S HOUSE
FOR 300 YEARS.

ALL THE LIVES

WHICH MUST HAVE
MARCHED THROUGH IT...

LONG GONE.

AND TO THINK
IT WAS STILL THERE.

THAT GREAT MOUNTAIN,

SO STRONG
AND BEAUTIFUL,

SEEMED TO PROTECT IT.

YOU KNOW,

WE JAPANESE CAN FIGURE
THE TIME OF THE CALENDAR

BY THE FLOWERS.

THEY WERE
CHRYSANTHEMUMS THEN--

THE SIGN OF
THE END OF AUTUMN.

AND TO ME,

MY KEIKO WAS MORE LOVELY
THAN THE BLOSSOMS.

THERE WAS LESS THAN
AN HOUR REMAINING

BEFORE MY DEPARTURE.

BUT I WAS CONVINCED

THAT OUR DECISION
TO MARRY WAS RIGHT.

TO MARRY, YET NEVER
TO POSSESS HER BODY

FOR MOMENTARY JOY.

ONLY TO HOLD HER
IN THE ARMS OF THE HEART

AND THE EMBRACE
OF THE SPIRIT

BEYOND THIS LIFE.

THEY PROMISE US
BETTER DAYS THERE.

DON'T THEY?

WELL...

THAT SHOULDN'T BE
TOO DIFFICULT TO PROPHESY.

IT'S EASIER TO MAKE
A TRUCE WITH YOU,

MY FRIEND,

THAN WITH LIFE.

NO, YOU DID RIGHT.

CHIEF, DON'T YOU THINK
WE'D BETTER GET BACK,

SEE WHAT'S LEFT
OF THE CAMP?

IF THAT'S NOT
A COMMAND, CAPTAIN,

I PREFER SITTING
JUST WHERE I AM.

ALRIGHT, YOU RONINS.
STAY HERE.

PROBABLY WIND UP HAVING
TO CARRY YOU ANYWAY.

GOODNIGHT,
LIEUTENANT.

GOODNIGHT,
CAPTAIN.

KAMPAI.
THOU SHALT NOT KILL.

DENNIS BOURKE HAS LOST
A SECOND LOVER.

ONE OF THESE DAYS,

I'M GOING TO BUTTON
YOUR LIP FOR KEEPS.

[CHUCKLES]

WHAT WAS IT
YOU SAID?

SECOND LOVER?

MM-HMM.

LOVE AIN'T ALWAYS
FOR PEOPLE, LIEUTENANT.

OFTEN IT'S AN IDEA

THAT KEEPS
POUNDING AT YOU.

WHAT KIND OF IDEA?

OH, MANY KINDS
OF IDEAS.

DO GOOD, DO BAD,

ROB A BANK,
BUILD A HOSPITAL.

OR MAYBE
A REAL BIG IDEA

LIKE, UH,
PEACE ON EARTH,

GOODWILL TOWARD MEN.

OR MAYBE, UH, AN IDEA

THAT KEEPS DRIVING
OLD DENNIS.

WIN THE WAR.

SMASH EVERYTHING
THAT COMES IN YOUR WAY.

SOMEONE DID GET
IN HIS WAY?

YOU HIT HIM
WHERE HE LIVES.

YOU GAVE YOUR GIRL
A FAIR SHAKE.

KAMPAI.

AH, NO MORE KAMPAI

UNTIL YOU'VE TOLD ME
ABOUT HIM.

YEAH, WHERE WAS I?

ABOUT HIS GIRL.

WELL, JUST BEFORE
THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR,

HE GOT BUSTED UP
PRETTY BADLY.

AIRPLANE CRASH.

AND SHE WANGLED
A GOVERNMENT JOB

AND GOT HERSELF
TO THE PHILIPPINES

TO BE NEAR HIM.

IMAGINE COMING ALL THE WAY
FROM THE UNITED STATES

TO HELP THIS BUM GET WELL.
HEH HEH HEH!

AND SHE WAS
SOME KIND OF GIRL, PAL.

SOME KIND OF A DOLL.

ONCE SHE KISSED ME

'CAUSE SHE FOUND OUT

I GOT HIM TO THE HOSPITAL
IN TIME TO SAVE HIS LIFE.

YEP.

SHE KISSED ME RIGHT THERE.

SOFT AS THE WINGS
OF A BUTTERFLY.

AH, I WASN'T
THE KIND OF GUY

WHO WENT AROUND
KISSING LADIES,

BUT THAT LITTLE GOOBER
STUCK THERE

JUST LIKE IT
WAS A TATTOO.

I GUESS I WAS KIND OF
MUSHY ABOUT HER.

IMAGINE A TRAMP LIKE ME.

MAYBE THAT'S WHY
I DIG AT HIM SO MUCH.

ANYWAY, WHEN HE GOT
OUT OF SICK BAY,

THE FLIGHT SURGEONS KEPT
HIM GROUNDED FOR A WHILE.

AND FINALLY, JUST BEFORE
THE FALL OF MANILA,

SOME OF THEM
WERE ALREADY DANCING

ON THE LID
OF THE COFFIN.

WELL, HE GOT
HIS FLYING PAPERS BACK

BECAUSE WE WERE
SHORT-HANDED IN THE AIR,

BUT HE KEPT IT SECRET
FROM HER

THAT HE WAS SHOVING OFF
THE NEXT DAY.

HE BRIEFED ME IN WHAT HE
HAD TO DO THAT NIGHT--

BREAK THE NEWS THAT
I WAS GONNA PUT HER ON
THE NEXT FLIGHT STATESIDE.

SHE DIDN'T
FIGHT IT MUCH.

SHE KNEW THAT NOBODY
BUT DENNIS EVER WINS.

ALL SHE ASKED WAS
THAT THEY BE MARRIED,

FIGURING IT WOULD
GIVE HER AN EXCUSE
TO GO ON LIVING,

EVEN IF HE WAS KILLED.

BUT HE CLAIMS HE THOUGHT
IT WOULDN'T BE FAIR TO HER,

MARRIED TO NOTHING
BUT THE MEMORY
OF A SELFISH SLOB.

BUT I KNOW HIS BREED.

WAR'S THEIR MEAT,

AND HOME'S WHEREVER
THEY CAN GET IT.

[AIR RAID SIREN]

NO.

LORIE?

LORIE!

MANY TIMES I'VE HEARD HIM
CALL IN HIS SLEEP.

LORIE.

LORIE.

DON'T TAKE NO
HEADSHRINKER TO FIGURE OUT

THAT HE WISHES HE WAS DEAD
INSTEAD OF HER.

CONSCIENCE.

EXACTLY.

THAT'S THE MONKEY
ON HIS BACK,

EATING AWAY AT HIM
LIKE CANCER, ONLY WORSE.

TOO SLOW, TOO MEAN
TO MAKE AN END OF IT.

TEACHING HIM
THE HARD WAY

THAT LORIE WAS
HIS ONLY REAL LOVE.

AND YOU ARE

HIS SELF-APPOINTED
CONSCIENCE.

SHE WAS REAL
TO ME, TOO,

AND I'LL NEVER
LET HIM FORGET

THAT THE BOMB
WAS HIS MISTRESS.

I'M SORRY FOR HIM.

I WOULD LIKE
TO HELP HIM.

DON'T.

JUST PLAY IT COOL,
LIEUTENANT.

REMEMBER WHAT
HE TOLD YOU.

DON'T FORGET TO DUCK.

Marine: GOT THE ANTENNA
RIGGED.

WE'LL SOON HAVE IT
WORKING NOW, SIR.

IF WE DON'T HAVE TO
MOVE IT AGAIN.

I HAVE TO KEEP
EXPERIMENTING, SIR.

GOT TO LOCATE
THIS JOKER

WHERE SHE'LL PUT OUT
AS GOOD AS SHE RECEIVES.

[BIRD CRIES]

FALSE ALARM, HUH?

NO, I FOUND FOOTPRINTS,

AND THEY'RE LEADING
FROM THE BEACH.

LOOKED LIKE MAYBE THEY
DOUBLED BACK THAT WAY.

ANYBODY SEE YOU
WITH THAT RADIO

BESIDE
THE FISHERMAN?

YOU MEAN THE DAY
OF THE STORM?

YEAH.

NO, SIR, NO.
AND HE DIDN'T SEE IT.

WELL, I THINK MAYBE
HE'S SEEN IT NOW.

YOU MOVE THE GEAR,
PICK A NEW SPOT.

I'LL STICK
AROUND HERE

AND MAKE SURE NOBODY
PICKS UP YOUR TRAIL.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[SCREAMING]

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[READING JAPANESE]

[PRAYING IN JAPANESE]

AMEN.

UNIT, DISMISSED.

LIEUTENANT KUROKI.

YES.

YOU CAN TAKE THIS
FOR WHATEVER IT'S WORTH,

AND MAYBE
THAT'S NOT MUCH,

BUT YOU'RE
A HELL OF A GUY.

THANKS.

YOU SURE UNDERMINED
HIS CHARACTER.

THE SENSES GROW
BECALMED HERE,

ALL EXCEPT
YOURS AND MINE.

MAKE YOUR POINT.

I SHALL TRY TO
FERRET OUT YOUR RADIO.

BE SURE YOU DON'T
MISTAKE YOUR TARGET

THE NEXT TIME.

WAIT A MINUTE.
THEN IT WAS YOU,
NOT THE FISHERMAN.

OF COURSE.

BUT I FIND
NO DISHONOR IN YOU.

WHAT YOU'RE DOING
FOR YOUR MEN,

I WOULD DO FOR MINE.

WELL, BELIEVE IT
OR NOT,

I REGRET THERE'S NOTHING
I CAN DO FOR YOU.

AH, BUT THERE IS.

YOU CAN
WISH ME LUCK.

I WISH YOU THIS MUCH--

THAT YOU FIND
YOUR WAY HOME

TO THAT HOUSE
WITH THE MOUNTAIN.

I HOPE YOU FIND A PLACE AS
PEACEFUL AS THAT ONE.

I COULD USE IT.

GOOD LUCK, KUROKI.

Kuroki: GOOD LUCK TO ME?

I AM CONVINCED
HE MEANS IT.

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD AIM.

AND THE BULLET
TO SILENCE HIS ANGUISH.

WORK HORSE 298
CALLING OCTOPUS.

OCTOPUS, OCTOPUS.

THIS IS WORK HORSE 298
CALLING OCTOPUS.

COME IN, PLEASE. OVER.

Man in radio:
THIS IS OCTOPUS.

WHERE ARE YOU,
WORK HORSE?

GOSH ALMIGHTY,
WHERE YOU GUYS BEEN?

HEY, WE'VE BEEN
CALLING YOU FOR DAYS!

OVER. OVER.

WHERE ARE YOU ANYWAY?

WE'RE HERE WITH
SOME JAPANESE FOLKS.

OVER.

YOU IN JAPAN?

NO, WE'RE NOT
IN JAPAN, STUPID.

WE'RE, UH...

WHERE THE HELL
ARE WE, SKIPPER?

GIVE ME THAT.

OCTOPUS. OCT--

OCTOPUS, OCTOPUS,
DO YOU READ ME? OVER.

Man on radio: I READ YOU
LOUD AND CLEAR.

THIS IS CAPTAIN
DENNIS BOURKE,

PILOT OF MISSING
AIR TRANSPORT 298. OVER.

Kuroki: I CAN READ THE TRUTH
IN THEIR FACES,

AND IT IS
NO SURPRISE TO ME.

AGAINST THE INEVITABLE,

I HAVE
ALREADY DISTRIBUTED

OUR LAST FEW ROUNDS
OF AMMUNITION.

I HAVE PREPARED FOR
WHAT I MUST NOW DO.

LIEUTENANT KUROKI.

OUR COMMUNICATIONS
HAVE BEEN RESTORED.

ONE OF OUR DESTROYERS
IS ONE HER WAY

TO REMOVE US
FROM THIS ISLAND.

CAPTAIN DENNIS

HAS EXTENDED ME
PERMISSION

TO OFFER YOU TERMS.

SURRENDER?

YOU AND YOUR MEN

WILL RECEIVE
GOOD TREATMENT.

PRISONERS OF WAR.

NO, THANK YOU.

AS YOU CAN SEE,

I AM MOVING MY CAMP.

YES. WE LOOKED
FOR YOU THERE.

THAT POSITION WAS
NO LONGER DEFENSIBLE,

SINCE YOU KNOW IT
SO WELL.

WE WOULDN'T ATTACK YOU,
LIEUTENANT.

I WOULD.

THE TRUCE IS ENDED.

I BELONG
TO THE JAPANESE ARMY.

UNTIL MY COUNTRY
ADVISES OTHERWISE,

I REMAIN AT WAR.

I AM SURE YOU
UNDERSTAND, CAPTAIN.

I UNDERSTAND.

GOODBYE, MY FRIEND.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

HIRANO.

STAY HERE.

HIRANO!

Man on radio: USS WALKER
TO CAPTAIN BOURKE.

CAPTAIN BOURKE. OVER.

CAPTAIN BOURKE.
GO AHEAD, WALKER. OVER.

VERIFYING
PREVIOUS PLAN.

OUR RENDEZVOUS IS
AT NORTH POINT. OVER.

ROGER. WE'RE
ON OUR WAY. OVER.

WE CARRY NO ORDERS
FOR MOP-UP

BUT WILL REINFORCE EVACUATION
IF NECESSARY. OVER.

NOT NECESSARY. OVER.

YOU HAVE
SUFFICIENT ARMS

TO DESTROY REMAINDER
OF ENEMY? OVER.

HAVE AND WILL DO.
OVER AND OUT.

WALLER. GET THAT
GREASE GUN UP HERE
IN FRONT ON THE DOUBLE.

YOU SEE ANY JAPANESE,

YOU START SHOOTING
AND SHOOT TO KILL.

I DIDN'T SAVE
THAT KID'S LIFE

TO SEE HIM GET SHOT.

WHY THE HELL DON'T WE
JUST GET ON THE SHIP?

KUROKI! IF YOU'RE
NEAR, KEEP AWAY!

SHUT UP! I SAID
KNOCK IT OFF!

NOW MOVE OUT.

LOOK AT THAT.
IS THAT BEAUTIFUL?

MAN, WE'RE HOME.

[GUNFIRE]

HOLD YOUR FIRE.

KEIKO.

KEIKO.

LET ME HAVE A LOOK
AT THAT.

FORGET IT.
TAKE A LOOK AT KUROKI.

IF YOU CAN DO
ANYTHING FOR HIM,

WE'LL TAKE HIM ALONG.

ALRIGHT. LET'S MOVE.

RUFFINO.

YES, SIR.

BLEEKER.

YO.

GATHER UP OUR DEAD.

WE'LL BURY THEM
AT SEA.

YES, SIR.

WELL, HE'S HAD IT.

LOOKS LIKE YOU WON AGAIN,
DENNY BOY.

HE TOLD ME
TO GIVE YOU THIS.

WRITTEN IN JAPANESE.

WHAT DO YOU
MAKE OF IT?

WHAT LITTLE
I CAN SAVVY,

IT LOOKS
LIKE AN ADDRESS.

MAYBE ONE OF THESE DAYS,

I'LL BE FLYING
A CRATE OF GREENHORNS

INTO JAPAN.

I'LL LOOK INTO IT.

CAPTAIN.

HIS FLAG'S
STILL UP THERE.

YOU WANT ME TO
TAKE IT DOWN?

IT'S HIS ISLAND.

Kuroki: YES. AND MY FRIEND
THE CAPTAIN CAN TELL YOU

THAT MY GOOD SOLDIERS
WILL ALWAYS DEFEND IT,

FOR THERE IS NO DEATH
WHERE THE SPIRIT LIVES.

SO DO NOT GRIEVE,
MY DEAR KEIKO,

WHEN HE BRINGS YOU
MY JOURNAL.

THIS WAS
ONLY ANOTHER DAY,

AND I SAY GOODNIGHT.
