Come on!

We got nothin', Enders!

We're out of ammo!

Joe ...

Nobody else needs to die, we can go

We can get out of here!

We got orders!

They told us to hold the position!

And that's what we're gonna do!

Get up, Marine!

Hod the goddamn position!

Come on!

Get down!

Tommy!

aaaaaa, Goddamn you!

Oh, no ... No!

Help! I'm out! ... I'm out!

Come on! Come on!

Goddamn you, Joe Enders

No. No!

Noooooo!!!

From what I understand, you went above and beyond corporal

Gunny?

I'm gonna put ya up for the silver star as well

God bless you son

Raise your right hand

- I... State your full name... - I, Ben Yahzee ...

Do solemnly swear to support and defend the constitution of the United Statesx...

Against all enemies, foreign and domestic

And I will bear true faith and allegiance to same

And I will bear the orders of the President of the United States

And the orders of the officers appointed over me

Jap Ha-Go

Who can give me the code word for "tank"?

Come on

You boys want to be codetalkers

Show me some brains, think!

What do we call a tank?

Chay-da-gahi

Tortoise

Good

Artillery, code word?

In code, Private Whitehorse

Be-al-doh-tso-lani

Very good

Japanese zero, code word?

Nobody else needs to die

We can go, we can get out of there!

We got orders! They told us to hold the position!

Goddamn you, Joe Enders

Nice day, huh?

Joe?

Joe ...

You didn't hear a word I said, did you?

That's what happens to a man when he's talking to a beautiful woman

It happens when you're not watching my lips, Joe

Watch this

Hey

You're a mess, Joe

You're not fooling anybody

No, Rita. He's a mess

I'm getting better every day

You got a perforated eardrum, Enders

Your equilibrium's all screwy

You can't go back to war if you can't stand up

Let's go, Marines

This war ain't gonna wait forever, let's go

Joe ...

Let's go. Let's move it

Why don't you just stay here, Joe?

Somebody's gotta keep the WAVEs company

Are you gonna help me or not?

Marked improvement

His left ear is the worse of the two?

Mm-hmm

It's ... amazing

TBY hasn't got the range of the TBX

So you may need to relay to get your transmission to command post

But what it really comes down to

is speed and accuracy under pressure

Transcribe now

Victor, Victor, This is X-ray. Over

Damn it, we got a unit under fire!

We're losing men

I need this message decrypted

Request fire support

We have target at one-one-niner, Baker 1-5

Pill box with heavy machine gun

Fire at will.

Beginner's luck

You're up, Mac

Corporal Enders reporting as ordered, sir

At ease

Done well as a Marine, Corporal

Better than you did as a civilian

Stole a motorbike, crashed it

Got kicked out of high school

Assault and battery ...

on one Father Crispin O'Donnell?

A priest?

Assistant Principal at Archbishop Keenan High School, sir

and head disciplinarian

Public school boy myself

Some minor problems in boot

A commendation for valor in Shanghai

And you made a hell of a stand on the Solomons

Tough bit of business there, huh?

Pretty tough, sir

But you're prepared to jump right back into it?

Yes, sir, Very much so

Very much so

Well ...

The Japs have pretty much busted every code

we've thrown at them, Corporal

Your men on the Solomons were lost to a broken code

Tell me something

You ever run into any Injuns on the Solomons?

Indians, sir?

Navajo, to be exact

Corps has developed a new code based on their language

It's had quite an impact

So much so, the Navy have decided to go to great lengths to protect it

That's why you're here

You're to pair with one of them, keep his ass safe

Your job is to keep him alive so he can do his job

Begging the Major's pardon,

but I believe I'd best serve the Corps killing Japs,

not babysitting some Indian

Enders, we didn't pick your name out of a hat

We need good Marines

That's why you're standing here

Take a look

It's a Navajo ... or it was

Tortured to death by Japanese Intelligence

trying to bust our code

Fortunately, he couldn't help them even if he wanted to

Sir?

The man's a Navajo, not a codetalker

The code's based on their language,

but it is still a code

Tojo would like nothing more than to catch a live one

What I'm about to tell you, Corporal, cannot leave this room

Under no circumstances can you allow your codetalker

to fall into enemy hands

Your mission is to protect the code at all costs

You understand me?

Yes, sir, I do

Good

Congratulations. You just made sergeant

Both hands vertical

Come on, ladies. Move it!

Fortino, take over

Hey. That was you, right?

Sitting in front of the major's office?

Yeah. I'm Sergeant Pete Henderson

They call me Ox

Not 'cause of my big muscles or anything

I'm from Oxnard, California

Just north of Hollywood a ways

So you're JASCO too, huh?

Hey, do you guys know where we might find 2nd Joint Assault Signal?

No fuckin' idea, Mac

Thanks. Thanks a bunch.

They've never seen so many Navajo

Looks like you got to see a little action there

Me too

Jap sons of bitches snuck up on us,

shot me right in the ass, you believe that shit?

I wasn't running or nothing

Put 'em in the tent. Come on!

So, your duty with JASCO

have anything to do with these Navajo radiomen?

I'm not at liberty to say

I see you got a new stripe there

Me too

So I'm guessing the same orders you ain't at liberty to tell me

are the same orders I ain't at liberty to tell you

It's a hell of a thing, huh?

Ain't a democracy, Sergeant, it's the Marines

Yeah

Look pretty normal, I guess

Expecting them to wear war paint?

Hey, maybe we ought to go introduce ourselves

They look a little lost to me

Henderson

I wouldn't get too friendly

How

I'm just kidding

I'm Ox. Whitehorse

Yeah, this is Yahzee, Ben

Beautiful, beautiful

Close your eyes It'll taste better

Who's next?

Mind if I join you?

I'm Ben Yahzee

Guess the Corps paired us up

How are you doing?

You're blocking my view

Oh, sorry

What do they call this crap, anyway?

Marines call it chow

Well, there's a propaganda effort

Heard you were from Philly

Birth place of the nation

City of brotherly love and all that

Sorry. You know, you can have mine

Shit

What did you say your name was again, Private?

It's Yahzee. Ben Yahzee

Seen any combat, Yahzee?

No, sir

Like I say, I'm looking forward to getting into some

Are you now

Hold this

Shit

Ohhhh, ohhhh, Jesus!

Bullshit

Finally! ya know?

That's pretty, I'm in for a couple more

Tell him I said hello, huh?

All right, pair of cowboys for Big E

Possible thumb up the Greek's ass

Oh, a pair of twos for the kid. Looking good!

Oh, come on!

Now, there's a bold move

All right

Ok, Yo, Another mess for the Sunshine State

Easy sarge, what, are you mad at me?

I want your money

Hey, look at that!

Three oh nines! Pretty

You shuffle that deck?

I certainly did. Nine bets

I'll raise it two bits

Call

We all got thumbs up our asses

Yeah, well, you don't have to worry

about your thumb being up your ass much longer

I got a buddy in Intelligence, says we're shipping out in a week

Oh, yeah, sure. I've been hearing "next week" for a month

I didn't know you knew anybody in Intelligence

Next year'd be all right with me

Gentlemen, read 'em and weep

Look at that. Nines and fours

Aw! Full boat, baby

Cowboys over queens Read 'em and die

Aah!

Aw, Jesus!

Ouch. Ouch

Fuck it. I'm out

Yeah. I'm gonna go write the missus

God knows what a girl will do without reassurance

Son of a bitch

Hey, Alex, I think we got a couple of seats opening up

You want to come join us?

Are you serious?

What, Injun poker?

Hey, how do you boys do that again?

Card on the head?

Only fool can't see it is you

You want to come on over or what?

Cut me in

Say goodbye to your bishop, my friend

All right, I'm thinking Fiery Cross,

Hey, don't let him scare ya

You played a high-low game before

it's like any other... A waste of time and money

Why, ante up... Chief

How'd you know I was a chief?

You must have seen me showering with my war bonnet

All right

Deal 'em up, deal 'em up

You know, we don't take wampum here, you know

Beautiful

All right, then

Orders finally came through

We ship out tomorrow morning for paradises unknown

Yeah!

Kill me some Japs

But where ever we wind up, it doesn't matter

'Cuase we're gonna be right at the teat's nipple

We're gonna be in front of the whole damned division

Now, I'm gonna be with the 2nd squad and sargeant Fortino here

is gonna be with the 1st

We're gonna be sniffing out enemy positions

radio'n back locations

coordinating the Naval gunfire...

Exactly what we've been training to do for the last four months.

All right?

Yeah!

Now, we got some new radiomen from headquarters

The private Whitehorse?

and, uh, Yahzee?

And, ah, couple of sergeants: Enders and Henderson,

who, if I'm understanding these orders correctly,

will be covering our Navajos' asses

Welcome...

Goddamn you, Joe Enders!

But I'm telling you,

we're gonna be stepping into our share of the shit

Any questions?

Sounds like you're dying

These might help get rid of the taste

Charlie and I, we both lost it on the boat ride from San Diego

Not many bodies of water in Arizona

Life Savers really helped

Um, you want a Life Saver?

What are you doing here?

Just trying to help

Not what I meant

You mean, what am I doing in this uniform?

It's my war, too, Sergeant

I'm fighting for my country,

for my land, for my people

It's not your people I'm worried about

Listen, Enders...

I'm a codetalker

It takes me two and a half minutes

to do what used to take an hour

Now, somebody wearing a lot more stripes than you

thinks that's worth something

Remind me to time you when you got bullets flying over your head

What the hell is wrong with you?

Hi

How's that ear?

Not that you'd ever admit it,

but if is starts aching, take a couple of those

and call me in the morning

You're not gonna be here in the morning, are you?

Shipping out without even buying me a drink

You ought to be ashamed of yourself, hustling Marines

What's your poison?

Jeez, I might as well go all out

I'll get a shot of something

Um, rum

Eddy, give me a shot of Bacardi

Make that two

Might as well join me, huh?

The world's a beautiful place

No, it's not

Hey, ah, Joe, why don't you get in there

Greek's predisposed to hyperventilate

I can't breathe when I get excited

Goddamn!

Holy ... shit!

Shit. Goddamn Nipponese touchdown

Biscuits? How can you ruin biscuits?

You are a whiny son of a bitch right now, are ya?

2200 hours in jungle hell

What does that make it on the East Coast?

How the fucking hell should I know?

Seven...

It's eight A.M. Sunday morning

I hope my side of the bed didn't get taken up Saturday night

I'm telling you, Nel. You're gonna give yourself an ulcer

if you keep worrying about her

Yeah, I might get my ass sent back to Rhodie, though

There's plenty of dollies outside of Rhode Island, Nel

Any plenty

Yeah, well, there sure as shit ain't any here

Ain't that the truth

That's 'cause they're all in Daytona Beach

The most beautiful women in the world

This one time, before the war, I'm lying on the beach,

and this sweet little thing named Molly

comes out of the water

She walks straight up to me and asks me if I'm hungry

'cause she's having a weenie roast

Shit! Damn

Yeah, me and Molly, oh, boy

Now I'm on Saipan with this giant Zippo strapped to my back,

and I'm roasting human beings

Why I volunteered... beyond me

Damn, I'm proud to be here

My whole family's been in the Corps

My old man, he's a lifer

An ass-kicker on the land and on the sea

Around the house, too

Maybe now he'll back off

Pappas...

I want you to do me a favor

If anything should happen to me,

can you make sure that my wife gets this?

I mean, she picked 'em out and all

Don't talk like that, Nel

You don't even joke about shit like that

Now, you put that ring back on. You're going home

Hey

Don't thank me till you've tried it

You missed mail call

What the hell are they doing?

I don't know. They've been doing it since sundown

Sounds like some kind of prayer

Maybe they know our orders

Think you could do it, Joe?

Give it a rest, Henderson

Give it a rest? I keep trying,

but I'm here to kill Japs, not Marines

What the hell do you think you're doing, boy?

Getting on my uniform

You know the difference between you and a Jap, Yahzee?

Huh?

Is that uniform

That's it

See, I know you people

I know what kind of slanty-eyed savage you are, boy

You ought to be careful out here all alone

No babysitter

I might just take you for a Jap

Are you gonna let me get dressed, Chick,

or keep demonstrating what an ignorant fool you are?

Yeah, how's that for ignorant fool, huh?

Go ahead. Try again

Are you gonna do something? Huh?

Chick! Come on!

Get off me!

You OK, Ben? Yeah

Ben? Shit

I thought he was a Jap

You know, killed some Marine for that uniform

Sure you did, Chick

Damn Injun looks just like a Jap, don't he?

I'm no damn Injun

I'm Navajo... of the Bitter Water People

Born for the Towering House Clan

But you do look like a Nip

Decide to take a bath, Private,

you let me know, or I'll kick your ass

Fucking shitbird

Supposed to be all the time, I thought

Hunting salmon and shit.hitbird.

That ceremony you saw last night,

it's called a protection ceremony

Navajo believe, until a body's given a proper burial,

stay near it

"Chendis." That's what we call evil spirits

Demons

I haven't thought much about it what we since I was a kid,

till I saw those dead bodies

You telling me you saw ghosts, Private?

No sargeant, I'm tellin' you I won't freeze up again

Because your buddy smeared ash on your forehead

That's right

'Cause my buddy smeared ash on my forehead

You ever see ghosts?

No more stupid questions today, private That's an order

Sounds beautiful

You, uh, you self-taught?

My dad was always playing

You know what they say: If you can't beat 'em...

Yeah. No shit

My dad, he gave me this thing

Used to call me the Pied Piper of the pigs

I used to bring them in for feeding with this little tune I played

I know I ain't gonna get you to quit playing that thing,

so, uh, like you just said, you can't beat 'em...

I don't think it's gonna work

Well, ain't got much else to do out here. What the hell?

OK

All right, you lead off

I'll follow you

Dear Joe...

How the hell are you?

Well, given that you're not much of a writer,

should I not expect an answer?

The newspapers say our boys are doing great,

but I don't think the reporters have been

to Kaneohe Bay Hospital.

I found a stray dog the other day on Waikiki.

I gave him a bath and took him in.

He reminded me of you, but cuter.

At least he keeps me warm at night.

I try not to think about you,

about what might be happening over there.

But sometimes when I'm lying in bed,

I can't keep myself from wondering where you are,

how you're doing.

What the hell are you doing?

Writing a letter to my son

You forget your orders?

No letters out

Command don't want postmarks going to the reservation

Hey! You hear me?!

I thought that he might read 'em when I get home

What's his name?

Your son

It's George. George Washington

George Washington Yahzee

It's got a bit of a ring to it

My wife wasn't so sure

She's a little more traditional

Nice-looking family Let's see it, Yahz

Yeah, that George, he's quite a character

He's got a mind of his own

Ahh

Let me see

Can I try one of those?

You smoke?

Not really

Oh! Look out!

Look out! Stay down!

Get off the truck!

Move it to the right!

Dismount! Get out of the truck!

Let's go! Let's go!

Follow me! Let's go!

I'm hit!

Yahzee!

Yahzee!

I'm hit!

Aah! Just take it off!

It burns! Uhh!

You're not hit!

Shut up! You're not hit!

Son of a bitch!

Move!

Where the hell are they coming from?

From us

What?!

They're not Jap guns

We're getting shot at by our own guys?!

That's impossible!

We're supposed to be on road 04!

You, get the regiment on the horn! I can't!

And tell them they're shelling their own! I can't!

This radio's out! It's been hit!

They're firing too short, Gunny!

The Japs gotta be way ahead of us. Do something!

Shit. Follow me!

We're on the wrong fucking road! Goddamn it!

Brick five, get up and move!

Help over here

Pick him up!

Sniper!

Sniper!

Get down!

Everybody take cover!

Watch your rear!

Evans, where are you

Cover up!

Tucked in now

Tuck in

I got him, trust me

I got you, Mac!

I got you!

Aah!

Corpsman!

Corpsman!

Corpsman!

Nellie!

Come on!

You were right, Joe

I do look like a Nip

What the hell are you talking about?

Putting on that Jap uniform,

trying to get ahold of one of their radios,

call off our guns That's stupid

Shut up. Let him talk He's not going out there

You're not the one in charge here, Enders

I got orders, Gunny He's my responsibility!

Sons of bitches!

You killed your own!

What's wrong with you?!

You killed your own, sons of bitches!

You killed your own!

You sure you're up to this?

Find out soon enough, sir

What the hell are you doing there?

I'm going with him...

if that's OK with you

Give me a rifle

Horyo-da

That's Jap for "prisoner"

Horyo-da

Horyo-da

All right, everybody be ready

- You got grenades? - We got two

Horyo-da!

Now!

Hit me. Hit me

Horyo-da!

Aah!

Aah! Please don't hit me!

Die!

Yahzee!

Kill him!

Goddamn it! Kill him!

Get on the radio!

Bowie White, Bowie White, this is Carson Red!

Bowie White, Bowie White, this is Carson Red!

Cease fire!

Cease fire! You're shelling Marines!

Goddamn!

Cease fire! Cease fire!

Add 3-2-5! Fire for effect!

Redirect fire! Add 3-2-5! Fire for effect!

Let's go!

Crank it up! Crank it up!

Let's go! Commence fire!

Fire!

Yeah!

Well, I'll be

Colonel, can I help you, sir?

I'm looking for Sergeant, uh, Enders

Joseph F. Enders

Enders!

Yes, sir?

Report I read claims you went above and beyond

Sir?

You've been recommended for commendation,

and I concur

But I don't see any point in you having to wait around

for all those formalities to work themselves out,

not when I got one of these handy

Congratulations, Enders

You saved a lot of Marines

I wasn't alone in that, sir

I couldn't have done it without Private Ben Yahzee

Oh. Right

The, uh, Indian

Begging the Colonel's pardon,

he's a Navajo, of the Bitter Water People,

born for the Towering House Clan

Of course

Navajo

Towering Cl... House Clan

You keep up the good work, Enders

Send that to Nellie's wife

You ever not miss mail call, Enders?

My mom says if somebody takes the time to write a letter,

you should read the letter

Does she let you drink, your mother?

No, but she's not here

What is it?

Well, it ain't Chianti, I'll tell you that

It's rice wine. It's Jap sake, but it does the trick

How much of this crap do you have, anyway?

You have a little trouble with that ear, don't you, Joe?

Oh, real problem's the inner ear

It's anvils and stirrups and shit

I'm a little out of balance

You done good on that hill today, Yahzee

I bet I surprised the shit out of you

That was a noble thing that you did, Joe...

To give your Silver Star to Nellie's wife

I don't give a shit about medals

First one they gave me...

I threw it into the ocean

What'd you get that one for?

For not dying

The 15 men who fought with me got decorated too, for dying

So...

Lieutenant was killed the night before

None of the sergeants

even made it out of the landing craft, so...

That left me in charge It was my first command

Orders were to hold

some shitty swamp marsh on the ass end of nowhere

And I did

All of the men under my command...

Men who trusted me...

Who begged me to pull back...

Not one of them made it

Just one stupid asshole

And for that they gave me the Silver Star

What were their names?

It might be good to tell a story about 'em,

to know who they were and what they were like

What a magical pile of Navajo horseshit

What the hell for?

To honor them

Their memory

You know, it wasn't your fault, Joe

You were just following orders

Yeah

I'm a good fucking Marine

That's why they gave me this detail

Yeah

I'm a fucking Marine

Joe!

Goddamn you, Joe Enders

It's why we had a luau

Crack some jokes

Come on! Get up and dance!

We'll have a party

For everybody

For all

For all

It's all right

Come on, Joe. I got ya

[speaking Navajo]

What the fuck?!

I ain't that drunk, Yahzee You cut that horseshit out

[speaking Navajo]

Yeah, I'm gonna take my daddy's strawberries,

mix 'em in with a Swedish concoction called yogurt

God willing, America will develop a taste

What about you, Charlie? What's life got in store for you after this mess?

Sheep

Charlie's family owns the biggest flock

in the Four Corners area

No shit?

You a rich man, Whitehorse?

We do OK

Taxis... a whole stinkin' fleet of them

That's how I'm making my millions

And then I'm going back to the motherland

I'm gonna build myself a villa on the cliffs of Santorini

Ah, Santorini, my friends. That's living

Sounds nice.

What about you, Zee?

I'm thinking about teaching

Ah. Teaching

Bring a little something back to the reservation?

Actually, more interested in bringing

some of the reservation back to the world

Hoping to teach college... American history

Oh, that's just what we need

Yahzee teaching college boys

about Custer's scalping at Little Bighorn

And what about Kit Carson

and what they did to the Navajo in the Long Walk?

You ever read about that, Chick?

Didn't think so

Ooh

How about you, Joe?

What?

What are you doing after this mess?

It's gotta end sometime

Dear Joe...

We got great news today.

President Roosevelt announced the end of blackouts on Hawaii.

We thought the day would never come.

There's still a 10:00 curfew,

but it doesn't matter to me.

After a 12-hour shift, I'm too tired

to do anything but write letters.

There is a real sense

that the war is going well and could be over soon.

I think about you more and more...

if you're alive or dead out there.

I check the mail every day,

knowing there's going to be an answer.

Are you reading these, Joe?

Are you listening?

Secure. Clear

We've secured the left side

Area's secure

Set up defense positions

Chick, bed 'em down for the night

Harry?

I don't know why I let ya talk me back into doin' this

It ain't workin' I don't thinks it's meant to be

To tell ya the truth ... I used to play for the sheep

What?

Brought 'em in from the pasture like I was a mama sheep

Like you was a mama sheep, huh?

Like a mama sheep

Always knew there was somthin' a little funny about you Charie

Well listen, why don't you play for the sheep, I'll play for the pigs, we'll see what happpens, huh?

We'll start off at the same time though

That's starting to sound like somethin'

I didn't know you were an artist

Oh, it's stupid

It's just, uh... something I would do as a kid

on my grandmother's kitchen table

Looks's nice

You Catholic?

Used to be

I was thinking about when they confirmed me

I was eight, and they anointed me with the holy water

And I remember...

they told me I was a soldier of Christ

I guess somewhere along the way, I must have switched units

It's oil

Huh?

They don't use holy water to confirm

They use oil

I was raised Catholic, too

Mission school on the reservation

It's funny

The fathers didn't like us talking Navajo at Mass

Of course, one Sunday I forgot

They punished me

by tying me to the radiator in the basement for two days

I think I was eight, too

Well, they're sure letting you talk Navajo now

Yeah

You know, when this is over

maybe you should come out to Navajo country

Monument Valley is a beautiful place

It's peaceful

You know, we could do some things

that you don't do in the Corps,

like ride horses,

eat fry bread,

do some hunting

Horses

It's a pretty long drive to Arizona

But it might be worth it

You know, you could meet my son,

and he could meet Joe Enders,

the guy who watched over

Daddy's scrawny ass

You must be a very good father, Ben

Ben

You've never called me that before

Enders

What kind of name is that, anyway?

It's Italian

Used to be Endrolfini before some asshole at Ellis Island

got ahold of it

Captain needs to code a message back to command post

You the Indian?

Yeah, I'm the Indian

It's just a few minutes' drive

We'll get you back in no time

I need to speak with you, Gunny

Yeah. Give me a second

I got this with the mail today

You ever had pickled herring?

I need out

What the hell are you talking about?

This detail

My duty

Can't do it

Well, I need you, Enders

Yeah. You've been saving a lot of Marines

I'm requesting mast with Battalion Commander

I want out

Oh, yeah?

You and me and every other mother's son

We all want out

Well, as long as there's a Tojo and a Hitler out there

we have to keep on fighting. Is that understood?

You're not hearing me

I'm hearing you just fine

Now, there's a war going on worldwide,

and it ain't being waged on your wants and wishes.

Now you get some sack time. That's an order

Goddamn it! I can't do it!

I can't perform my duty!

Hey there, sweetheart

Hi. It's OK

You don't have to cry You're gonna be all right

I got a present for ya

It's chocolate

You see, you eat it, and it's good

Mmm! It's good

You want some?

Oh...

You're gonna have to chew it next time. Here

Harrigan ... go!

Incoming!

Go! Run!

Make a run!

Pappas!

Help! ... Hellp!!

I can't let 'em take us

What are you talking about?

No, he's gone

Enders!

I can't find Ox or Whitehorse

Have you seen them?

He's over there

Oh, shit

This was supposed to be a secured area

What happened?!

I killed him

You what?

I took my grenade, and...

I threw it and I blew him up

What the hell is wrong with you?!

Yahzee!

Yahzee, no!

Get up!

Come on, get up!

Come on. You can do it

Yahzee... Let him go

Yahzee, no

Why can't... Come on. Do it. Do it!

No

You know, Whitehorse...

He saved my bacon

I wonder what George Armstrong Custer would make of that

I remember my granddaddy sitting on the porch,

talking 'bout hunting Injuns

like he was talking 'bout

gophers or somethin'

About getting paid $3 per Comanche ear

I know. Gets you thinking

Another 50 years, who knows?

We could be sitting down with the Nipponese,

drinking their sake, shooting the shit,

looking for somebody else's ass to kick

You think too much

First time I ever been accused of that

[speaking Navajo]

Thought I told you not to go traipsing around on your own

You know, Charlie blessed my son

in the Navajo way the day he was born

He wondered about cowboys watching Indians' backs

Something about it didn't seem right

I thought it was Charlie just being Charlie

He didn't even wanna come to this damn war

I talked him into it

Maybe you made a mistake

Maybe we all did

I was following orders, Ben

My orders were to protect the code

If one of you got caught,

talked, the code would be useless

I was following orders, Ben

Of course you were, Joe

You're a damn good fucking Marine

The Viking wants to see you

He says right away

I want you to brief everybody, make clear what's happening

All right. I got no problem with point, Gunny

Yeah. The 8th is moving out already

and we need to be ahead of 'em

The destination is that big piece of rock

you see over there,

the last defensible ridge on this island

Now, thinking is we take the mount,

Saipan is pretty much ours

Yesterday bombers beat the shit out of that rock

The brass is nervous

They expected more resistance over there

Now they want us to go over and check it out

So where the hell they got us now?

Well, going up the mountain

Have ourselves a little peek

That codetalker is out front for a reason

That's exactly where I need him to be

If there's still a problem between the two of you,

I would like to straighten that out right here, right now

No problem here, Gunny

That's good

But there's still one here

You just do what you're supposed to do, Sergeant

Nothing more, nothing less

Enders!

You got another letter

Freeze!

Jesus Christ!

We're in the middle of a goddamn minefield!

Chick's gonna get us out. Right, Chick?

Sure, I am

One line after Chick

Pappas

Pappas!

Move, Greek

I'm gonna get my fucking balls blown off out here!

Yahzee! Stop!

Move out!

Yahzee!

Hey!

Nice shooting, Pap

The 8th's moving in

We better check out the other side

Got it

You all right?

Chick, you take the left flank

Enders, you go right, and we'll cover you with a 30. On it

All right?

OK, let's go!

Move!

Hjelmstad!

Help him up!

Gunny!

All right

Christ

Joe! Joe!

Tear him open

You want morphine?!

You want morphine?!

Yeah!

You'll be all right

Goddamn it, Yahzee! Get over here!

Fuck!

Chick, stay with him

I got you

Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!

Yahzee! No!

Control yourself!

I told you to stay with Gunny

Gunny's gone

You could've killed me!

You son of bitch!

I'd never kill ... one of our own

We're not gonna make it out of here, are we, Joe?

I'm running out of ammo here, Joe

I don't wanna die in this shithole

You're not gonna die

Nobody else is gonna die

We're gonna make it

We're gonna make it out of here

8th's caught out in the open!

We gotta call in the flyboys!

I'm gonna get that radio!

Cover me!

Cover me! I'm going!

Stay back!

Fuckers!

Aah!

It won't bring your friends back

What do you know about friends?

Get us some air support!

Bowie White, this is Carson Red, Arizona

I say again, Carson Red, Arizona

Coordinates! 2-20, Mike, 3-6!

Let's go

How many still out there ... Joe?

There's not many

About that Colt

No one leavin' there

I imagin' one

Given your orders

Shut up, Ben

Do it, Joe

Do it!

Do it!

No one else is gonna die, Ben

No one else is dying

[laughing]

Joe, we did it

Oh, G... Oh, Joe

We saved a lot of Marines today

Yeah, we did, Ben

Charlie... You know I didn't want to

Right?

Hail Mary, full of grace,

our Lord is with thee

Holy Mary, mother of God,

pray for us...

I got the last of them, Joe

Dear Rita,

To answer your question ...

I'm listening ...

Your letters are the only thing that keep me going out here

As far as writing back, sorry it's taken me this long

All I can think about is what you said sitting on the beach

About the world being a beautiful place

I just need a little help seeing it that way again

I want to come back, Rita

I want to see you again

Take a walk on that beach with you

Learn to live again

His name was Joe Enders, from South Philadelphia

He was a fierce warrior

A good Marine

If you ever tell a story about him, George...

Say he was my friend
