Listen up, Marines!

Shore leave
commences at 1300.

As Marines, you will
conduct yourself

with honor, valor,
and fidelity.

Outstanding job,
PFC Tully.

Private First Class Snow,
what in Sam Hill is this?

Sir, it won't stay
bloused, sir!

It won't stay bloused
because you do not belong

'in my beloved Corps!'

I suggest you unscrew
yourself ASAP!

Well, any day, sweetheart!

Sir, yes, sir!

PFC Tully, tell me
why I should not cancel liberty

for all hands because of PFC
Snowball's personal appearance?

Sir, PFC Snow will
square himself away!

Marines take care of their own!
That is our code, Sergeant!

Outstanding answer,
PFC Tully!

[John]
'I love the smell of toxic waste
in the morning.'

Hey, you wanna watch
your step.

The place is full of stuff

that'll eat your
Florsheims for breakfast.

[John]
'Oh, what do we have?'

[Lilly]
'A land test
on a real estate deal'

turned up toxic levels
of you-name-it.

EPA clean-up crew found
the remains inside.

[Scotty]
It was adult male
shot in the head.

ME tech ballparks it
at .38 caliber.

How long has it been here?

Agency says the land
hasn't been used

as a legal dump site
in over 50 years.

[John]
'We need to find out
who had access'

'permission to
dump here.'

Yeah, ought to be fun.

'EPA's lawyers have been trying
to sort that out for years.'

[Lilly]
'What's that? Dog tags?'

"Tully, James, C. USMC."

Looks like we just found
a lost Marine.

[theme music]

[John]
'Marine Private Class
James C. Tully.'

Accused of desertion,
September 9, 1951.

Stationed
aboard the USS Pronto

on his way
to do battle in Korea.

The forgotten war.

Disappeared during liberty.

He was supposed to be
back on the Pronto

morning of September 9,
at 0600 hours.

He never showed.

[Will]
'I think we know why.'

[Lilly]
'The kid was only 17 years old.'

'Got into some kind of trouble.'

[Will]
'On liberty,
that's no surprise.'

Drinking, shenanigans.

Yeah, the last hoorah.

Trying to get in as much
living as possible.

Pretty high
casualty rate in Korea.

Maybe he gets
cold feet?

Ah, not likely.

Marines aren't drafted.
They enlist or volunteer.

Docks have always been
a dangerous place.

He gets separated
from his fellow Marines

and runs into some
local riff-raff?

The guys in his platoon
might know something.

Yeah, if we can
track them down.

Well, brother Steve Tully's
on his way to Philly

to claim the remains.

A decorated Marine
in Vietnam himself.

The father served
in World War II.

Whole family
of military men.

Ah, must have been
a real disgrace

Tully accused
of being a deserter.

The family
never believed it.

Sent the Naval Board
of Corrections

countless letters refuting the
unauthorized absence charge..

...to no avail.

Trying to reverse
a charge like that

with the military bureaucracy

is like getting a battleship
to reverse course

slow and unlikely to happen.

It's our job to see this Marine
gets his honor back.

[indistinct chattering]

[Will]
'Hey, what the..
My tie!'

That's for aiding
and abetting

in a decapitation
of my best tie last week.

What makes you think
I had anything

to do with that...incident?

Oh, don't worry, your little
partner in crime, La Bamba..

...he's gonna get his, too.

What up, fellas?

You tell me, Scotty.

[instrumental music]

My father went
to his grave

wondering if Jimmy was a coward.

He fought the
desertion ruling.

He must have known
different in his heart.

[sighs]

Said it wasn't
in Jimmy's DNA to desert.

But he still wanted
the flag to prove it.

My brother never backed down
from a fight in his life.

[Lilly]
'Wondering if you
can tell us anything'

about Jimmy might help us
with our investigation.

Oh, yeah. Brought this..

...postcard he sent us.

It's the last time
we heard from him.

"Our sergeant granted us
a liberty pass.

'"Me and a couple guys
from the platoon'

"are gonna hit the town."

You know who his friends were?

No, I was just a kid
when he left for boot camp.

Gave me his baseball glove.

Told me to keep it oiled
for him.

Promised to teach me
his curve ball when he got back.

Card's postmarked
the day he disappeared.

I slept with it
under my pillow for years

just thinking it
would bring him back.

What about his pocket watch?

Didn't they find it
with his, you know..

Pocket watch? No.

Oh, it definitely would
have been on him.

He treasured that watch.

Robbery gone bad?

My father told him
it was his duty

to bring the watch back safe

and pass it on
to his own son someday.

Never even made it
out of Philly.

[Will]
'Sergeant Chaney, they said
we could find you here.'

I volunteer twice a week
and school some of these men

in checkers,
just to let them know

that their sacrifice
still means something.

Oh, wondering
what you remember

about Private
First Class Jimmy Tully.

One of nine guys that went
to Korea came back

in a body bag,
and you're asking me

about a coward
that went AWOL?

You were his
platoon sergeant, right?

- Mm-hmm.
- That type of behavior fit?

Well, the kid
was a hell of a boxer.

He beat the tar out
of the Navy's best puncher

the day of shore leave but
there's a hell of a difference

between taking a punch
and staring down enemy fire.

His body turned up yesterday.

We think he got killed
on shore leave.

'Anyone in his platoon
have a problem with him?'

Whoa! If Tully was killed
it wasn't by another Marine.

Any idea which of his friends
he might have hit Philly with?

Yeah, there was a guy
named Max, um..

...Max Heid, Heidhorn.
Heidhorn, yeah.

He was a real clown.

We'll look into it.

Hey, detectives..

...if a guy doesn't come
back to the ship

I have no other choice

'but to declare
him a deserter.'

Max Heidhorn?
Detectives Rush, Miller.

'Thanks for coming in.'

A fan of the ponies?

I like to lay a few bets

here and there,
keep things interesting.

- You got a system?
- Yeah.

It's called
"Win some, lose some."

'But you didn't
ask me down here'

to pick up tips
on the sport of kings.

Understand you
and Jimmy Tully were friends.

Sure were. We survived
boot camp together.

Were you with him
on shore leave?

Me and about 500
other Marines and sailors.

When's the last time
you saw him?

[sighs]
That'd be hard to forget.

[Peggy Lee singing
"If You Turn Me Down"]

[Max]
'Hey, Tully, get in line.'

Alright, come on,
I'm buying.

Get an anchor and globe or, uh,
maybe one of them hula girls.

[Jimmy]
'I ain't got
time, Max.'

Those Navy squids don't do
so well on land.

I'll say.

♪ If you turn me down ♪

♪ Down down down.. ♪

Valentine red.

Color of your lips.

Thanks.

I've gotta dash.

Hey, Tully, what the hell
you gawking at?

See that?

Yeah, I sure did.

'Another barnacle looking
to latch onto some sailor.'

'Man, the girls I told
you about at this place'

do a whole lot more
than just look, baby.

'You coming?'

What, are you kidding?

Just met the girl of my dreams.

Hey, anybody want to see
the Liberty Bell with me?

Yeah. Dumbbell
meets Liberty Bell.

Take it easy on the kid, Max.

You know, good thing
you got old Tully here

always sticking up
for you, Snowball.

Maybe he can, um, chaperone
your little sightseeing tour.

[Jimmy]
'I'm going across the street.'

Hey, no, no,
that's a Navy bar.

Karnow's got to be sore
about you beating him.

Yeah, well, I beat him
fair and square.

Where I'm going,
at least you won't have

to fight sailors off
just to get a dance.

You know where
to find me, punchy.

Roger that, devil dog.

Tattoo was the last thing
I remember about shore leave.

Almost didn't make it back
to the ship due to the whiskey..

...and a redheaded girl.

This Karnow,
he and Tully have a history?

"Mean Gene" Karnow.

Tully gave that bastard
a really good pasting

at a smoker right before
we got our liberty passes.

Fight over what?

Boxing match over
bragging rights.

Tully always took
that Semper Fi

"always faithful"
business seriously.

Me, on the other hand..

Karnow the type
to hold a grudge?

Well, first off,
he was a Swabbie.

No love lost
between Marines and sailors.

[indistinct chattering]

[Nick]
'Gene Karnow?'

Easy. Take it easy
there, Dragnet.

You guys looking for lessons?

We're here
about Jimmy Tully.

- What's he want, a rematch?
- He's dead.

Killed on shore leave,
the night he knocked you out.

How'd that happen?

We were just about to ask you
the same question.

You think I killed him
because he got

over a few lucky punches?

So no hard feelings
between you and Tully?

Hell, that match with Tully
and me on board ship

but, that was my last fight.

Boiler blew up
on the way to Korea

and drove a six-inch piece
of steel into my shoulder.

Jab wasn't much good
after that.

- You see Tully that night?
- Yeah.

[chuckles]
Sure.

Guy had brass ones,
walking into a Navy bar.

"Brown, Sanford and Mullins

So which one are you?

I'm just a stenographer
right now.

Tomorrow's my first
day on the job.

But someday I'm gonna have
my own card just like that.

I'd offer to buy you a drink
but it looks like you're doing

just fine in
that department.

You wanna buy me a drink,
you gotta get in line.

The sailor at the end
of the bar says

you're the toughest
thing in here.

Think he might've been right.

I thought Marines
were supposed to be brave.

Well, a good Marine
must improvise

adapt and overcome.

Is that why
you're in a Navy bar?

The one thing I swore I'd do
before I shipped off

was dance
with a pretty girl.

- Is that where I come in?
- Affirmative.

Alright, but I don't dance
with strangers.

Jimmy Tully,
Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania.

Nora Lee,
Philadelphia born and bred.

Miss Nora Lee
from Philadelphia, born and bred

would you care to dance?

Why don't you drop anchor
someplace else?

You got a problem, pal?

Besides you guys
taking over our bars

and bird-dogging our women?

Not tonight.

You better have a lot of bullets
in that gun, civilian.

[Ray]
Get off me.

Never thought I'd be
defending a jarhead's right

to dance with the prettiest
girl in the bar.

This tough guy,
he got a name?

Nah, didn't bother asking.

Introduced him
to the sidewalk pretty good.

Well, maybe he waited
around outside for Tully.

I couldn't tell you,
because the second

prettiest girl in the bar
was so impressed

with my bravery,
she asked me to dance.

Been together 55 years.

You remember anything else
about this guy?

Yeah, had a dock workers'
union patch on his jacket.

That's a funny
thing to remember.

I was a snipe, you know,
an engine room rat.

I had to deal with sand crabs
like that all the time.

Thanks for your time.

You know,
if you ever want some lessons

come on down
and we'll lace 'em up, okay?

My partner needs
more than that.

You're what, 50 push-ups
from the cover ofGQ?

I wouldn't be so sure
about that, big fella.

I could teach him
something that'd wipe

that smirk right off
your face.

Oh, no offense,
detective. Sorry.

Come on, come on..

Come on. Let's go

[Lilly]
'Gunwale, your old haunt?'

[John]
Navy bar, tied
a few on here.

Some things never change.

I'll bet she still remembers
what I drink.

John, long time no see.

Irish whiskey and a beer back?

[John]
'Nah, on duty.'

- This is Detective Rush.
- 'Hey.'

We're wondering
if you remember Jimmy Tully.

Marine back in '51.

I'm good, sugar,
but I'm not that good.

Witness said he had words over
a girl with a local tough guy.

In the Gunwale?
Imagine that.

That tough guy wore
a dock workers' union patch

on his jacket.
Flashed a gun.

Could be Ray Lisi.

'Hall of fame jackass.'

86'd him from the Gunwale,
over a decade ago.

He ever do time?

He did a good stretch
at Frackville

for beating a union scab.

The guy's sucking his meals down
through a straw now.

Where's Lisi
park at these days?

Over at Ruby's with the rest
of his old dock buddies.

'Probably already
got his drunk on.'

And he likes cops
even less than Marines.

We'll keep that in mind.

- Thanks, Sue.
- Okay.

Hey.

He tries to throw a bottle
at you, like he did me..

We'll return the favor.

Boss, think I made
some headway

on the oil drum
Tully was found in.

What do you got?

List of about 50 entities
that could've dumped there.

Of the most interest,
the Navy and the shipyard.

Oil drum could have
come off a ship.

- Yep.
- Check naval base records.

When I served, the military kept
a paper trail a mile long

for every belt buckle,
bullet and mess kit.

Oh, joy.

Oh! So where's
this old dock worker?

I hear he took a swing
at the cop that picked him up.

Ray Lisi? Scotty's got him
in the box now.

[Scotty]
'I'm gonna make you
pick up after yourself, Ray.'

You mind telling me
what this is all about, junior?

Sure, pops.
Either you tell me about

the last time
you saw Jimmy Tully..

...or I lock you up
for taking a swing at that cop.

Jimmy who?

We got an eyewitness
says you flashed a gun at him.

Oh, that's interesting.

It gets better, see,
'cause this Marine got shot.

Well, isn't that
what they sign up for?

Pulled your sheet.

'You beat a guy
with a .38'

'not long after
Tully disappeared.'

It's the same caliber
killed Tully.

Guy was a scab.
He kept falling on my gun.

Lucky I didn't
pull the trigger.

Well, you couldn't beat Tully,
so you shot him.

Keep trawling.

I'm done with you, Ray.

Either you talk or a few friends
of that cop you swung at

are gonna come in here
and tuck you in for the night.

Lucky bastard was doing
just fine when I left him.

Oh, it's already 10 o'clock.

I'm sorry, I'm keeping you

with your big
first day tomorrow.

My friend dragged me
along with her

and I wasn't expecting
to meet someone like you.

I know, me neither.

We got those clumsy sailors
to thank for that.

You probably would've found some
other pretty girl to dance with.

But I found you.

What's the matter?

Aren't you afraid
of going over there?

Marines aren't supposed
to show fear.

Save the slogans
for your buddies.

I'm serious, Jimmy.

Look, any guy who tells you
he isn't afraid is a liar.

'My father served,
and so did his father.'

It's what the men
in my family do.

Hey.

What if I lose you,
as soon as I found you?

I still owe you
that dance, remember?

Dance marathon?
Now you're talking.

Marine and fastest typist
in the steno pool?

We'll be the couple to beat.

- Nora!
- What is it with this guy?

He works down at the docks with
my father. I can handle him.

If he lays one finger on you,
I'm gonna clean his clock.

What're you doing, Ray?

This guy's not gonna
be here for you like I am.

I appreciate you
looking out for me

but you need to go home.

Please. Do it for me.

[indistinct chattering]

Oh, I never been much
for that lovey-dovey crud

but...I think
she was real smitten.

You don't strike me
as the observant type, Ray.

I did not shoot that jarhead.

Well, he embarrassed you
in front of your girl.

She wasn't my girl.

The most she ever did
was let me buy her a drink.

Better hope
she backs that up.

[Lilly]
'Your husband?'

I lost him ten years ago.

Ben was a good man.
He was there for me.

Don't make men
like they used to.

Was Tully around
when you started dating Ben?

I know what you're thinking,
but I wasn't that kind of girl.

I met Ben a year later.
A friend set us up.

- That's my son, Peter.
- Handsome.

I thought you wanted
to ask me about Jimmy Tully.

A guy named Ray Lisi
said you were with Jimmy

the night he disappeared.

We met at the Gunwale.

Then hit a dance marathon.

"Marine and fastest typist
in the steno pool."

'That's what he said.'

- What about after that?
- After that?

I would've given him my heart
but fate wouldn't have it.

[Nat King Cole
singing "Mona Lisa"]

What?

Just seeing if your boyfriend
Ray comes out to stop me.

Stop you from what?

Smuggling you
on the ship.

'Come on, I'll buy
you a soda.'

Thank you.

I sure am gonna
miss you.

You'll forget what I look like
minute the ship leaves port.

Not if you give me
a photo of yourself.

Do I look like
the kind of girl

who carries photos
of herself around?

Come on, let's fix that.

Anything else you remember,

Thank you for letting me know
what happened to him.

'I only knew Jimmy
for a few hours'

but I never forgot him.

Hey, John,
naval clerk dug up

the ship's
disciplinary log book.

Logbook have an entry
of sending out shore patrol?

Yeah, sent to question Tully's
entire platoon.

Log entry said
they were looking

for a Private First Class
Lenny Snow suspected of taking

a Navy officer's
pearl-handled .38 revolver.

Could be our
murder weapon.

Gun was never recovered.

Snow spent the crossing
to the Korean Peninsula

below decks
in the ship's brig.

Well, let's put him
in our box

see what he's got to say
about this gun.

Had a look
at your service record.

'Navy Cross, Bronze Star.'

'That's some tour of duty.'

I prefer not
to talk about it.

- Why not?
- Did you serve, detective?

Navy.

- Vietnam?
- River Rat unit.

Then you know a lot
of good men never made it back.

'Doesn't seem right to be
making a fuss over a bunch'

of medals and ribbons.

I did what I had to do.
Others gave more.

You straightened yourself out
after shore leave, though.

[Lenny]
'I'll admit I wasn't the most
squared-away Marine in my unit.'

But I didn't take
that officer's weapon.

Then why'd shore patrol
think you did?

Oh, I got blamed for everything.

Didn't help that Sergeant Chaney
had it in for me.

Well, you see Tully
that night on shore leave?

Yeah.

Tried to help me out of the
pickle I was in with that gun.

[indistinct announcement on PA]

[intense music]

[Jimmy]
'Where the hell
have you been?'

I been looking
all over town for you.

- I'm in trouble.
- 'Yeah, I know.'

Shore patrol gave me
the third degree about you.

I didn't take that revolver.
You gotta believe me.

Then you better start
convincing me.

'Cause I just left
the girl of my dreams.

I don't know what happened.

Sergeant Chaney
had Max and me

on police detail
in officer quarters.

You and Max?

You can ask him.

I never even
saw the weapon.

- Scout's honor.
- You see Max go inside?

He wanted to see how squared
away an officer kept his rack.

'You know Max.
He was just jokin' around.'

- You think Max took it?
- If you didn't.

What's it matter?
Huh?

Sarge is right,
I'll never be a good Marine.

You got more guts
than half of these guys.

'I don't care
what sarge says.'

How you figure that?

You lied about your age
to get into the Corps.

I know a lot of guys who lied
so they wouldn't have to serve.

Why are you so nice
to me, Tully? Huh?

You remind me
of my kid brother, I guess.

- Memphis?
- Only place I could think of.

If you run now,
you'll never stop running.

- I don't know, Tully.
- I'm gonna find Max.

I'm gonna make this right.

So you can either
get on that bus

or you can go back
to the ship

'you can look Sergeant Chaney
in the eyes'

and you can
tell him the truth.

'The choice is yours.'

[instrumental music]

Hardest thing I ever did..

...not getting on that bus.

Shore patrol was waiting

threw me right
in the brig.

So, when'd you hear
Tully went AWOL?

Oh, that's halfway to Korea,
one of the guards told me.

It didn't make
a lot of sense, though.

You know if Tully found Max
that night?

I don't know.

But if Tully gave you
his word on something..

...pretty much meant
it was gonna happen.

He wasn't just
an outstanding Marine..

...he was like
a brother to me.

"Semper Fi."

Spic and Span time, Max.

You lied to us
about seeing Tully.

I said I didn't remember.

That amnesia extend to taking
that officer's gun?

You were going to let Snow
swing for that.

Only Tully wasn't going
to let that happen.

[Lilly]
'He was going
to turn you in'

so you shot him before
he had the chance.

- You got it all wrong.
- You took that officer's gun.

And that's conduct
unbecoming the Corps.

So is shooting a guy who was
just trying to help a friend.

I'm guilty
of a lot of things

being a bad Marine
is just one of 'em.

But you can't say
the same about Tully.

He was some
top-shelf stuff.

'Hey, it's punchy!'

Give me the weapon, Max.

Don't know what you're
talking about.

Cut the crap.
Snow told me.

Ah. You gonna rat me out?

Of course not.
But I need it back.

It was a joke..

...to mess
with Lieutenant Putnam.

Make him think he lost
his precious revolver.

A joke?

You know, Snow's thinkin'
about going AWOL

because he can't face
Sergeant Chaney.

That sound funny
to you?

Best thing for our platoon would
be for that guy to wash out.

You're wrong about him.

That guy's a walking
mortar magnet.

Don't waste your last hours
of shore leave on Snow.

Just give me the weapon, Max.

I can't. I pawned it.

How am I supposed
to get that kind of money?

- How much you got?
- Ten.

I was gonna use it to buy
something special for Nora.

Don't worry.
Hi. I'll chip in.

["Rocket 88"
saxophone music]

I'm not proud of what I did

but I never saw Tully
with that pistol.

So he doesn't show
for the boat ride to Korea

and you don't say a word?

I thought maybe he took off
with that girl

he was so hot
to get back to.

It's what I'd have done.
Back when I could run.

We've got a gun, but no one
who saw Tully with it.

So Tully leaves Max and what,
gets the gun out of hock?

But he'd need money
for that.

I think I know
where he got it.

Tully did find Nora
later that night.

How do you figure?

Well, something wasn't
sitting right

so I checked into Ben Conlin,
Nora's late husband.

- The Navy officer.
- Yeah.

Thought if I
could put him

and Tully in town
at the same time..

But he was stationed
in Japan.

Yeah, a dead end
till I found this.

Ben Conlin adopted Nora Lee's
three month old baby boy.

A month after
they got married.

Birth certificate lists
the father as "unknown."

Yeah.
Math points to Tully

and their romance didn't end
in that photo booth.

1952, tough time
to be an unwed mother.

The looks you
must've gotten.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

Come on, Nora, you didn't meet
Ben till after Peter was born.

Peter...is Tully's son.

'Got the records
to prove it.'

I've never told anyone.

Not even Peter.

You lied about
seeing Tully again.

Makes it hard for me to believe
anything you say now.

What choice did I have?

So I start thinking,
maybe Tully does go AWOL

then he finds out you're
pregnant and wants to leave you.

No. You can check.

I wrote letters, filed paternity
requests with the VA.

I didn't know
where Jimmy was, either.

Then tell me what happened.

I waited all night
for him to come back

staring out my window,
praying to God.

And then, there he was.

[instrumental music]

Nora.

Oh, I never thought
I'd see you again.

What's bothering you, Jimmy?

Nothing. It's just..

I'm here.

What happened
with shore patrol? Spill.

I just want to make the most
of our last hours together.

Just let me
look at you.

You gotta be
straight with me.

Something's eating at you.

They're looking
for a friend of mine.

A friend who didn't do
what they're saying he did.

And, uh,
I tried to help him.

- I couldn't.
- Why couldn't you?

Because I don't have the money
to prove he's innocent.

And if you had
the money

you could use it
to help your friend?

Look, if I help him..

...and he dies over there..

You don't know
the future.

You can only follow your gut

like you did following me
into that bar and..

...pestering me
for a dance.

I can be pretty persistent
when I need to be.

What is this?

My mother wore it on her wedding
day. It's gotta be worth more

than whatever's behind
that pawn ticket.

Nora, I can't--

I don't wanna hear
another word.

Look, it's not worth a lot

but, it's been in my family
for a long time.

- Will you keep this for me?
- Yes.

I'll be waiting for you at
the docks, before we push off.

Wait, wait.

I waited by the docks to see
him one last time but..

Tully didn't leave you..

...he was taken from you.

He was a special man.

One look and I knew
what he was made of.

I want his family
to have this.

[instrumental music]

This will mean a lot
to his kid brother, Steve.

Detective Rush..

...Jimmy was
the love of my life.

Thank you for giving
that back to me.

So, Tully uses Nora's necklace
to get the gun out of hock.

And Tully was
a hard charger.

Goes back to the ship,
puts the weapon

back in Putnam's locker
or returns it

to his platoon sergeant.

Tough play, either way.

He digs, he scores.
You were right, boss.

Military doesn't buy a tin
of beans or toss a grenade

unless there's a paper trail.

De-requisition order
to dispose

of six steel oil drums
of hazardous material

from theUSS Pronto.

September ninth.
Date matches up.

Stuff like that doesn't
get on or off a ship

without the engine
room knowing about it.

Hmm. "Mean Gene" Karnow
was a machinist mate.

Throw this wrench at him,
see how he answers.

This supposed
to mean something?

[Nick]
Well, the date's of interest.

Especially seeing as how Tully's
body was found in an oil drum.

Right, the Marine.

You remember
this order?

Yeah, I come back
from, uh, shore leave

and there's, uh, a Marine
sergeant screaming at me

to get rid of the waste
oil drums ASAP.

I tell him I don't take orders
from a jarhead.

Navy ship, Navy engine room.

You refused
to dump those drums?

Yeah, and in about ten minutes

my chief comes down
and chews me out

so I go ahead
and get rid of 'em.

This Marine sergeant,
his name by any chance Chaney?

Yeah, that's him.
Thought he was all hard

but then we get out
to rough seas

he's out back puking
his guts out over the rail.

Chaney.

Took a look at your medical

and service record books,
Sergeant Chaney.

Spent most of your second tour
in the field hospitals.

Significant battle fatigue?

You ask me down here to
question my service record?

[chuckling]
You're way out
of your depth, son.

Something must have been
eating at you real bad

'cause you never saw any action
during your second tour.

You want to ask me
something about Tully, ask it

but I will not sit
here and have you question

my service to this country.

This interview is over.

If you want, we can cuff
you to that chair.

[intense music]

I had an officer like you,
a ball-busting son of a bitch.

'I hated that bastard.'

But when it was said and done
he just wanted

what was best for his men.

- He had a code.
- Best ones do.

Is that why you were trying
to wash out PFC Snow?

What the hell does
this have to do with Snow?

Answer the question!

Snow didn't belong
in the Marines!

And it was your job
to sort men like him.

Snow was going
to fill up his boots

the very minute
he saw those Chinamen

'coming at
us in waves.'

Oh, with all due respect, sir

you were wrong
about Snow, dead wrong.

He was 15 years old.

'He wanted to be a Marine
so bad he lied about his age.'

You buried him
behind a desk

and he still made it
to the front line.

Awarded the Bronze Star
and Navy Cross.

That's a lot of bull.
Snow did no such thing.

Account of Private First Class
Lenny Snow's

heroic actions during battle.

While you were cooling
your heels in a field hospital

this is what
a brave Marine was doing.

"During a sudden enemy ambush

"Private First Class Snow
unhesitatingly left his foxhole'

"moved through withering fire,
and employing his rifle

"inflicted numerous casualties.

"His actions saved the lives
of his fellow Marines."

I will not listen to this.

Snow was going to get us all
killed over there.

I should know.
I've seen it before.

Lenny Snow exemplified
the Marine Corps.

Negative!

Then just when you think
you got Snow going AWOL

Tully shows up
to plead his case

says he knows
Lenny didn't take that gun.

- Tully was wrong.
- Not about Snow.

He wasn't and you know it.

You're still a Marine.
Act like one.

Son of a bitch
wouldn't back down.

He threatened
to pull rank on me.

On me!

This better be good, Tully.

Getting me out of the rack
at this time of night.

Sir.

PFC Snow did not take Lieutenant
Putnam's revolver, sir.

- Where did you get this, Tully?
- I cannot say, sir.

I didn't copy that.

You will give me that weapon.
That is an order.

Sir, I wish only to clear
Private Snow's name.

PFC Snow is not worthy
of being a Marine.

Snow is a coward and a thief
and will not tarnish

the Marine Corps
with his presence.

With all due respect
to Sergeant Chaney

PFC Snow is neither
a coward nor a thief.

You have no idea
what it takes to be a Marine.

PFC Snow believes you are
trying to wash him out, sir

something that is against
Marine Corps tradition.

Do not lecture me
about tradition!

Now, you will stand down
and give me that weapon.

I can't do that, sir.

You are disobeying orders,
PFC Tully!

You will give me
that weapon

and you will tell me
where PFC Snow is

or I will see to it that
your sorry butt is booted back

to whatever ungrateful hole
you crawled out of.

Sergeant, I am prepared

to go to Captain Ryan
and tell him the truth.

The truth?

And what truth is that?

That you wish
to pin the theft

of an officer's weapon
on an innocent man.

[intense music]

You will do no such thing.

'Cause I decide which Marines
remain in this platoon.

Me and only me.

- Sir, I can't let you do that.
- You..

[grunting]

Sergeant, please.
