Now some scenes from last week's episode

I read the charges and specification

then you know why i am here?

I know lieutenant MacClean's version

you know the circumstances

he told me then you must understand the need for discretion.

Brand understood that when I spoke to him,

I'm sorry captain I think private brand was sold a bill of goods.

He's not guilty court

Sam Of course he's guilty. Guilty of being an enlisted man

guilty of associating with the wrong person at the wrong time

guilty of being a negro.

The War Department is stepping things up a little.

They want candidates for the war college.

I think Damon is a good choice.

I hesitate to bring this up since you're planning to send him to the War College.

Really. I was thinking of the 20 June directive

requesting officer observers in the China campaign. And if you're

gonna jolly well run off to China.

I'll be damned if I'm gonna hang around here like

Alice sit by the fire awaiting your royal return.

No, that's just fine.

You want to go visit your dad or go someplace else that is fine.

But you're not chasing Donnie back to Princeton.

trolley

dead

Dear Dad and Mom

gosh it was good seeing you again. Especially you dad.

Those 17 months in China didn't hurt you a bit.

You look terrific.

Not sure you're right about the Japanese.

Feeling here is that China ss given them more than they can handle.

Not just my opinion but everybody's.

Anyway, for my money FDR is too smart to get dragged into somebody else's war.

The British people and that Grecian allies need ships.

From America they will get shipped

increases which will bring all foreign

to a total still below peacetime strength as authorized by the Congress.

Every plane, every other instrument of war old and new.

We will send over

the latest returns show President Roosevelt rolling up substantial majorities over history.

This Selective Service provides the most democratic

as well as the most efficient means for the mustering of our manpower.

We have heard our others beating that breast

and proclaiming against sending the boys of American mothers

to fight on the battlefields of Europe

that I do not hesitate to label

as one of the worst fakes in current history of Europe

I hope you are paying Dad

You brought these hustlers up here it takes

patience glass looks a lot like diamonds if you start to grind it down.

We're gonna have to stop beating up on these boys George

I suppose I really ought to make an effort to go to church one of these Sundays,

but there's so many guests.

Is it required Mrs. Damon?

Mrs. Damon?

Excuse me.

I was just asking you about church is that required for you people?

I mean, some sort of regulation.

Not yet.

Germans will be drinking uncle Joe's private stuck in the Kremlin by Christmas believe me.

Not a the chance. They're in the suburbs already riding on this streetcars

oh they may get into the city but they won't get into the Kremlin.

And I always give you all me boys some credit for being smart.

The Germans are unbeatable. Better not let

the boys in Congress hear you say that there'll be moving to Sweden.

Oh yeah, that's right you do you have done a heck of a job on roads,

but got the whole country going crazy.

You got everybody convinced that Goring is going to bomb the capital?

Or away? Or the Philippines goring? Oh, no.

You mean japs ? Japs. They've got their hands full with China.

What are they going to war with us for?

They're smart businessmen. They know what they want they're willing to pay for

it. I remember seeing your ships steaming out of the harbors over there loaded with scrap iron.

You know what they're gonna make out of that scrap iron.

George George telephone sounds like the Presidio Thank you Ellen

General caldwell

what no let me say that again.

When

Where the hell did they come from?

I see. Sam turn on the radio

go ahead

struck at 7.55 this morning Hawaii time, inflicting severe damage to the Pearl Harbor.

But Japanese squadrons apparently launched from carriers somewhere north of the islands flew in low,

skirting the mountains and making only cursory passes at other military installations.

The main thrust of the attacks centered on the giant warships anchored helplessly in the harbor.

Early reports indicate severe damage and heavy losses.

Few ships escaped the fury of the attack.

Among the warships known to have been sunk are the battleships Arizona and California,

the Oklahoma took at least six torpedoes and capsized where she was birth.

Of the 96 vessels anchored as the first wave of attacking Japanese hit the harbor,

one lone destroyer was able to get underway.

Extensive damage has also been reported

no estimate of aircraft lost has yet been made by army personnel at the airbase

to repeat at 7.55 this morning, Hawaii time the first of the waves of attacking Japanese dive bombers

attacked the US naval fleet at Pearl Harbor

What is it mama?

The Japanese have attacked Pearl Harbor.

Finally mama.

Courtney finally got his war

all right AFL sponsor, they're just about to start the lower border.

General Marshall and he's arriving tonight. Hawaii is on full alert.

All the beach installations are being men full strength

The japs will never go for a while.

They got the fleet McCarthy is the one who will take the brand.

Donnie

Yes, yes. I'll get him for you.

Dad, it's for you.

I Take it up here honey.

You'd better get packed.

When you get out here by 10. We'll make a word in the morning.

I'm not leaving until I get through to Donnie

damned Tommy.

The lines are jammed. He's safe enough for now. Anyway,

the attack comes it's gonna be this coast.

You're not serious.

The are not going to attack here. Why not?

Our fleets disabled our shore defenses are a joke. We're undermanned.

Sam. That's back home.

The japs just hit Manila.

They wiped out half our planes on the ground.

They had a 10 hour warning.

What in the hell are they doing over there?

Don't ask me ask MacArthur.

Anyway, coast command is ordered a full alert all up and down the seaboard.

So if you want to make Court You better leave right now. Right.

Tommy?

You go ahead, Sam. I'm going to wait for Danny's call.

You can talk to him tomorrow.

Tomorrow may be too late.

For the news reports.

They're already lining up with the draft boards.

Tommy You're getting yourself all upset and may be for no reason at all.

Can you promise me that say?

No. Well, then I'll make you a promise.

Our son is not going off to fight in your war.

I'll see to that.

I just who in the hell do you think you are

today Let me tell you something. Tommy,

we're in this one ready or not. And you're along for the ride. Whether you like it or Not,

now maybe Sam is reluctant to say this to you.

But I'm not George.

Wait a minute, Sam. Oh, this has to be said.

I'm sick of your belly aching.

And I'm sick of you trying to blame me and Sam or anybody else who tries to hold this country together.

I'm not blaming you good.

Because now we have just two choices.

Either we stand and we fight, or else we throw down our guns

and start to try to redecorate the White House to suit the Japanese emperor.

Now, which is to be

now you make up your mind

but he's only 19

They're all only 19 Tommy

that ss the hell of it

Hello, yes, operator Put him through.

Hello, Donnie. Oh, yeah, yeah, Roy.

Yeah, put Donnie on Will you.

You what Yeah I understand.

Tony and some of the other boys. Roll over to Philadelphia.

To the recruiting office. They're going to enlist first thing in the morning

Sam, Sam, you've got to stop.

Stop him. Oh. call Philadelphia meet the area-command.

You can do it no i cannot.

You mean you won't but Tommy it's his decision.

Nobody is forcing him to do it He does not know about a thing

you can you can arrange that tommy

Tommy?

They're not exactly ocean liners. Sarge.

What they'll do? Like you sir.

Are you sure they'll make it to the other side?

I never took him for a joyride, sir. It is just how I found him.

Okay, Sam, say you get maybe 10 12 Guys in each one.

That's not exactly a regiment.

What if we run a couple of lines across?

Ferry 10 men over send the boat back ferry 10 more.

While the japs help us unload and bring a Sake wonderful.

What do you think Sarge? It's possible. Bill, you get a better idea.

Are you kidding?

I'm only a like Colonel try to make it through the weekend. Besides, McKelvey will never buy it. He's all set to sit in his dead but till Port

Moresby freezes over. Forget I said that sound was

then we're crossing his river with or without McKelvey. Let's go

general Are you saying this attack was adequately prepared and executed?

I don't know what the hell you mean by adequate.

I have complete confidence in my staff. We do the best we can with what we got

when we were sent one half of what the South Pacific gets every day

donn't take that channel, you may not

chip. Can you have no idea what conditions are like on the line

as I have now? I've seen him

three perfectly good and three light tanks over there. bogeys in mud and water

Excuse me

ease off you know they have to expect losses in an operation like this

Joey chow down while you can stand by

Sarge Yes sir. Don't worry about this for the time being

and see if we can sell this man's Muse boats

a night crossing

Oh Sam. Toughest operation in the book you can't just take these boys and it's so weird.

This is the point Sir, we're getting the cream kicked out of us

the frontal assaults only wareness down.

We can get the Japs on that river their defenses are weak because the river is so wide

I don't know. I know general

look I fought these guys for a year and a half in China

you observed Sam Yeah with a rifle in one hand and a grenade and the other

look Mac I know how they think how they're gonna react

General MacArthur did order that I know that

only it wasn't so risky

it's terribly risky

four native boats if we can catch them by surprise

we can cave in their position

go through the beach and come in behind their bunkers

it's a hell of an idea general

I don't know Sam I'll have to give this serious thought general

there isn't time to think alright Sam

I said I think about it

rotten stinking country

serious meetings more considered.

Stop talking about insert doing some the Jeff's are gonna be all or Darwin next week.

He is Mister of Springboard and I'm with you.

What's this meeting of the disenchanted

guys want to laugh? G to sit down and estimate an enemy true strength between water boo and the airstrip?

How is it bad?

Fertile Dickinson at badger on the field phone. Colonel Damon.
