Almost out.
Sons of bitches won't

I've got your back,
haven't you noticed?
I know you do, you always have.
[guns banging]
Sweet Jesus.
One way ticket to hell,
either way.

-Next, please!
-[men faintly chattering]
Didn't even have to ask.
That's a first.
I've been around, ma'am.
Don't have to call me ma'am,
it's Ms.
John Caputo, West New York.
Big Italian family,
number six of 10-
US Marine, champion boxer.
Why'd you quit?
The Marines or the boxing?
Whichever's the better story.
I'm bored.
Just don't use it as an
excuse to make a pass at me.
Well, it's all right
there in my file.
Discharged, boxing was
a part of that
and then I uh.
I uh, I thought driving shipping
trucks just outside of DC
would be a good idea.
And then I got the
itch to reenlist
and I reenlisted
back in the Army after
the Marine thing
and you know that was--
Right, A for effort, Hemingway.
Next!
See, I figured I wasn't doing
much service for my country
driving trucks in the
middle of nowhere, right?
I wasn't too good at it
to be honest.
Then I realized, you know?
I'd be a better service out
here on the front lines.
Plus I got a family friend here.
Well, I hope you
bought something
better than your boxing gloves
'cause this place is
Hell on Earth.
Bunk's in the Holloman building
with the rest of D Company.
[pensive music]
Next, please!
Papers, please, don't
make me ask you again.
[pensive music]
[pensive music continues]
[footsteps lightly clomping]
He was a good soldier.
[crying] He was also my friend.
[Conte] Even better.
Hang in there.
We'll all be home soon.
[reflective music]
I hope so.
[gentle music]
[hand lightly pats]

[James crying]

[men faintly chattering]

[footsteps lightly clomping]
[men faintly chattering]
[men faintly
chattering continues]
I was just getting used to
having this place to myself.
Still reading those funny books?
Still sketching in
the sketchbook?
It calms me.
You know that.
The funny books calm me,
you know that.
[pensive music]
Evans?
Dead.
[loud whooshing]
Let's hope you have better luck.
I don't believe in luck.
I know you don't.
Used to talk my ear off
about it. [scoffs]
Till you didn't.
-[pensive music]
-[men chattering]
I thought you quit.
Yeah, I did.
Just like to look at
'em from time to time.
[James scoffs]
[pensive music]
-[crowd cheering]
-[punches pounding]
Nobody thought Williams
was gonna make it
to the next round after
that nasty fall.
But he was really on it.
-[punches pounding]
-[crowd cheering]
Caputo up against the ropes.
Caputo [indistinct], and
he's reversed it!
Caputo puts Williams up
against the ropes.
[audience cheering]
They're stirring up and...
[audience cheering]
-[body thuds]
-Oh!
-[suspenseful music]
-[audience faintly chattering]
-[tense muffled music]
-[audience yelling]
-It's over, it's over!
-[audience murmuring]
[Ring Announcer] And the winner,
after six rounds,
-John "T-Bone" Caputo.
-[audience cheering]
[reflective music]
The referee is calling
in some medics
to have a look at Williams.
This does not look good,
ladies and gentlemen.
Williams is not
responding at all.
-[somber reflective music]

[John deeply inhales, exhales]
[pensive music]

[Foley] Another attack on us
like on the beach.
We're not gonna have able-bodied
men left for another.
Takes weeks to get
anything outta here,
especially reinforcement.
But you know that.
I will remind you that
we just had 3000 Marines
set foot on base in the
last 24 hours.
I don't see a scenario
where that's enough.
[pensive music]
We've been through this before
and I'm telling you goddammit,
we weren't prepared.
And I'm trying to prevent
history from repeating itself.
If we didn't have the 37 mill
shredding those sons of bitches,
they'd have broken us.
Vandergriff says
they're coming again.
Supply chain headed for regroup,
all in.
Let me offer you gentlemen
some fresh perspective.
We are well-outfitted.
We have healthier troops
and better supplies
than last month.
And I was just told that
a battle of influenza
ran through General Aka's camp
and killed more than a
few of his men.
If that's not good tidings,
I don't know what it is.
And malaria killed ours, sir.
Look, look, you're
underestimating the enemy.
Vandergriff thinks they're
gonna repeat the attack.
Sector C our weakest link.
And if they break through,
they take our front and rear,
we're done.
We understand and
appreciate your concern.
In that case, why don't
we just roll up our tents
and get the hell outta here?
Because these islands
are a dead zone.
I mean our boys would
be better off in Europe
for Christ's sakes.
Or even at home!
-I agree.
-Oh bullshit, you do.
I never said I didn't.
Why don't you do something
about it, goddammit!
You reinforce that ridge and
you hold the break point!
It's a quiet zone in
there because,
because of the jungle.
Denied.
Manpower was deemed best
used elsewhere.
There's no more
butter to spread.
[sighs] When did you
get this news?
Rolled down from on high
about a week ago.
-[suspenseful music]
-[Foley scoffs]
Sir...
[suspenseful music]
If you don't want to use
me for what I'm good at,
and I mean this with
all due respect,
why the hell am I here?
[Harmon scoffs]
I get it.
[foreboding music]
Gentlemen, could you excuse me?
I gotta a little
paperwork I gotta do.
Yeah, paperwork.
Ed, you don't like my
perspective.
Well, let me give you a
dose of reality.
This military incursion,
just like every other
US military incursion,
is a shit sandwich.
And it doesn't matter
how you slice it.
Every single one of us has
to take a bite.
Is that understood?
-Yes, sir.
-[tense music]
And do me a personal favor
and shave your fucking face.
[tense music]
We'll reconvene in the morning.
-Get some sleep.
-Yes, sir.
[tense music]
[James] How's that
food treating ya?
[Conroy] Still miss my
girls cooking.
I tell you that much.
Book won't hit ya back.
Does when your ex-wife
throws it at you
from across the kitchen.
John Caputo.
Benny Conroy.
[John] Where you from
Benny Conroy?
East St. Louis.
-Home of the Cardinals?
-Yeah, actually.
I got a kid brother who
play center field for 'em.
You a fan?
I'm a fan of my brother,
not so much baseball.
You know, it's not
physical enough for me.
But I was the captain of the
wrestling team in high school.
That's good to know,
Benny Conroy.
Very good to know because I
tell you something my friend,
you're gonna need all
the moves you can get.
Haven't had a chance to use
it in the battlefield yet.
[laughs] Oh yeah, don't worry,
you will.
Especially when you have a dozen
of the Imperials
finest on your ass.
-Have you ever been in the ring?
-[punching bag thuds]
Just a spectator from
the outside,
but I'd love to get
on the inside.
[John] Is that right,
Benny Conroy?
Yeah.
I hope you know yourself.
You know, your strengths,
your weaknesses.
It's important.
[fists lightly pounding]
-Got a question for you.
-What is it?
How does somebody go 10 rounds
with Sugar Ray Robinson?
Hmm. [laughing]
Well that I have no answer for.
I don't know.
All I can tell you is
every man can punch,
everyone can fight.
Everyone can be the hammer.
But not many can be the nail.
It's the one who wants it most.
But how do you know?
You just know.
-[fists pounding]
-[suspenseful music]
It's nice to meet you,
Benny Conroy.
You too, Caputo.
[suspenseful music]
Hey James, seems
like a good guy.
[pensive music]

-[suspenseful music continues]
-[birds continue chirping]
-[suspenseful music continues]
-[birds continue chirping]
[footsteps lightly clomping]
How's your wife doing?
I don't want to talk about it.
[footsteps lightly clomping]
Hey, boys, I'll be
right with you.
I gotta go.
[Marine 1] Morgan, you off
pissing in the bush again?
You need to let us know.
[Marine 2] You need
to keep moving.
[Marine 1] You're pissing
longer than my grandma.
Bet your grandma doesn't have
a pecker as long as mine.
[Marine 1] You
haven't seen hers?
It's time for supper anyway.
-[man grunts]
-[knife squelches]
-[body thuds]
-[suspenseful music]
Fuck.
[suspenseful music]
[marine panting]
Jesus.
[suspenseful music]
-Banzai!
-[air whooshing]
-[man yelling]
-[blade strikes]
[suspenseful music]
Yes, yes.

[suspenseful music]
[footsteps lightly clomping]
It looks like one of the patrols
didn't sign back in before
the next one went out.
-Right here.
-[pensive music]
No, they might have gone
straight to the commissary.
What are they serving tonight?
Meatloaf, cabbage, cornbread,
I think.
Meatloaf.
It ain't that good here.
[pensive music]
[knife pounds]
The hell is this crap?
[laughs] It's cornbread.
A mick like you wouldn't
appreciate it.
Oh a mick like me, huh?
I'm a mick too, it's allowed.
Yeah, grams used to
make the best cornbread
West of the Mississippi.
So juicy, it just like
melts in your mouth.
Absolute perfection.
That's what the
girls used to say
about me over at Ditmars.
Perfection in your mouth.
Damn, Simmons, that right
there is just disgusting.
You're cloggin' my ears
with that shit, Simmons.
How'd this conversation
go from cornbread to--
Don't wanna say it.
Give it the respect
and deserves.
The size of your
reproductive organ.
[men laughing]
-Hey.
-Very little.
Come on, guys, let's
keep it clean.
-We got virgin ears over here.
-Virgin?
Hey, so Murdock,
you had to go all medical
on my buddy here, huh?
Yeah, there's no scientific
term for this, boys.
They tried to classify
it, they can't, okay.
It's a whole new species.
And let's not forget
about the taste, okay.
Oh Simmons, I'm trying
to have lunch here, huh?
Yeah, I hope you know you
ruined grand's cornbread for me.
Gotta let her know the
bad news when I get home.
I can tell her tonight
when I visit if you want.
Save you the trip.
[men laughing]
I'll let her know about
Big Papa Simmons.
His buddy here, too.
Hey, so Jack, tell me again,
you lost your virginity
to a, uh, what was that?
A goddamn cocker spaniel?
Nah, my family was poor
so my options were limited
to the billy goat out back
or a bowl of hot grits.
I'll take the grits.
Yeah, yeah, I'll take the grits,
too.
Hey, you one of the new
GI's just shipped in?
Yep.
Ain't nearly enough of you.
That's what I'm hearing.
Yeah guys, this is John Caputo.
He's an old family friend.
John, this here is
Simmons and Adams,
two of the best sons of bitches
-to have next to you in combat.
-Hey!
This here is Jack.
He's newer too, but,
he's proving us he's
pretty promising.
Yeah, we'll see about that,
Jack.
Now while are you
seeing about me,
I'll be seeing the
about your mother.
Hey, you got jokes, everyone.
-Hey.
-[fist banging]
-Hey, so it's Caputo?
-Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, I've seen you
fight a few times.
Hey, this guy is damn
good in the ring.
Yeah, I saw you come to
Fort Hamilton a few times.
You got a helluva swing on ya.
Thanks, guys.
Yeah, so why'd you quit?
You know, took a few years off.
But I still stay warm enough
to toss up that billy goat
when I get home, right, guys?
[men laughing]
Let's keep this one alive,
fellas.
I like him.
I agree.
Please keep me alive.
I'd appreciate that.
[ethereal music]
[ethereal music continues]
[ethereal music continues]
[footsteps lightly clomping]
[Conte] Evening.
Haven't seen you around before.
-You new?
-Yes, sir.
But not new to war.
I've seen all types before.
I know yours well.
You've been around too, Father?
[ethereal music]
Some places I don't
wanna repeat.
Okay, so at least we
have something in common.
I figure as much.
You ever need a place to sit
down and talk to someone,
my door is always open for ya.
Thank you.
[ethereal music]
[ethereal music continues]
[ethereal music continues]
-[footsteps lightly clomping]
-[gentle music]
[insects chirping]
How's that food treating ya?
Better than that beef stew
my old man made you years ago
that gave you food poison.
Remember that?
Remember?
I've been trying to forget
that for more than two decades.
You still having
trouble sleeping?
Yeah.
Some things never change.
[laughs]
Thank God I can get this
stuff out here.
Yeah, man can't asleep,
since that last ambush.
Evans was manning one of
the gun pits next to me.
-Everyone was dead.
-[gentle music]
He made a dash for his pit.
He started firing, turned
right outta the ammo.
-Got shot in the head.
-[somber music]
Died, eyes staring at
me, lifeless. [scoffs]
[gentle music]
Had Imperial soldiers in the
front, hellfire behind me.
I had to make a dash.
Got through without a
scratch on me.
[somber music]
Dynamite.
That's what scares me.
Seeing one of those
things coming at you
in the middle of the night.
It's the longest goddamn
moment in my life.
[somber music]
You know what I
don't understand?
Outta all the places
you could be,
why this God forsaken place?
Maybe I came to watch over you,
James.
[James scoffs]
You know we're not kids anymore,
right?
I did a lot of growing
up after you left me.
I know.
I know, but hey, don't forget,
I was there when you had your
first street fight, right?
What were you? 10,
11-years-old?
You had that kid up
against some fence, right?
You had him up against the fence
and you were banging his head
against it over and over.
The kid was crying his eyes out.
But so were you.
-[both laughing]
-Yeah, I was crying.
Of course, I was crying.
You're yelling, why
are you crying?
You're beating his ass.
Hey, he had 10 pounds on you,
was a couple of years
older than you.
You were winning.
You should have been
celebrating, not screaming.
I was so upset with you.
Dominic Roberto.
[John laughs]
Dominic Roberto was his name.
Dominic Roberto.
I don't know if you remember,
he had a pretty good
looking sister back then.
I know you remember.
You lost your virginity to her.
[John laughs]
[scoffs] Look at us.
Chopping it up like a
couple of old buddies.
We are, aren't we?
[gentle music]
The good old days.
The only problem is,
they always end the same way.
[gentle music]
[gentle music continues]
-[pen scribbling]
-[gentle music]
[suspenseful music]
[Imperial soldiers speaking
in foreign language]
[Imperial soldiers continue
speaking in foreign language]
[suspenseful music]
[Imperial soldiers speaking

[suspenseful music]
[insects buzzing]
[pencil scribbling]
[birds chirping]
[footsteps clomping]
[pencil scribbling]
Not bad.
Thank you, sir.
Sit down, at ease.
Looks familiar, too.
Yeah, it's my roommate.
I don't believe we met, uh.
You're the one with the
other troops?
That's right, sir.
Sergeant Edward Foley.
And I've heard a lot about you,
sir.
John Caputo.
I heard about you too there,
John.
Gunner sergeant.
And may I say,
out-fucking-standing job.
Thank you, sir.
By the way, John, whenever
you heard about me,
don't believe all of it.
Only half of it's true.
Which half would that be, sir?
Depends on which half you heard.
My jokes are terrible.
It's okay sir, we've got
nothing but time out here.
I know, well.
Times about all I got here,
John,
'cause I sure as hell don't
get any goddamn respect.
I tell you that.
Where you from?
West New York, Buffalo-Niagara.
-No kidding.
-Yes, sir.
Small world, Syracuse.
Wow, okay.
Many locals out here, sir?
-A few.
-Yeah.
Most of them seem to be
keeping away from me.
From you?
-You can count on that.
-[John laughs]
-I got a question, sir.
-Yeah.
Aren't you a little gray
around the beard
to be a master sergeant?
Look who's going to
kettle black?
First of all, I'm still
one of West Point's finest.
Don't forget that.
I understand, sir.
Are they coming for us, sir?
[pensive music]
What do you think?
I'll tell you, John,
we're like chess
pieces out here.
They place us where
they see fit.
We get company,
some of us cover the supply
chain over at the beach,
others at blood ridge.
Only problem is, is that
some of the chess pieces
are a little chipped.
Some things change.
-Some stay the same, sir.
-[pensive music]
Ain't that the truth?
Yes, sir.
Now listen, John,
you ever wanna talk any
hometown gossip,
you can come to my
office anytime.
[hand slaps]
By the way, if do another
little sketch there,
try one of me,
without the scar, and up here.
Make me look like Clark
Gable or something.
-[hand playfully slaps]
-See you around.
[gentle music]
-[dramatic music]
-You know, Father,
I'm only here because
my commanding officer
thought it'd be a good idea.
Silly me, I thought you
enjoyed the conversation.
No, I do.
I just thought you
could use your time
a little better than on me.
Plus, you can't beat
the inevitable.
-What's that?
-[gentle music]
Death.
Death is a part of life.
It's nothing to be afraid of.
How do you know?
That's between you and God.
[gentle music]
And bang, shot in the head,
dead.
That's it, it's over.
Is that what you believe?
I don't know what I believe.
That's your answer there.
You haven't found it yet.
[gentle music]
This all sounds like a riddle.
Everybody's path is different.
This is yours.
[gentle music]
Still can't sleep?
No.
But the whiskey helps.
[laughing] The good stuff.
Preacher, you drink whiskey?
I'm from Philly.
[gentle music]
Are there any more of these
whiskey drinking
preachers out here?
A few of us for sure.
[laughing] Enough to
win this war?
We'll see.
-[James scoffs]
-[gentle music]
-[lips smacking]
-[Bes laughing]
Shit.
If you're trying to be
romantic, that ain't working.
No, I'm late.
You're what?
No, I mean I'm late
for my shift.
Gotta go.
Gonna pick this up later?
Eh, depends,
how much busy work Harmon
decides to drop on my desk.
I know what you mean.
Yep, well, I guess I'm
gonna hit the gym.
Well, don't use up
all your energy.
I'm not a very giving lover.
[Bes laughs]
[birds chirping]
A scout team was spotted
here about a week ago.
They they vanished,
if that's what you
wanna call it.
The second one this month?
Yeah, well, I was hoping
they went AOL,
washed up in a boat somewhere.
But you know better than that.
Look right here.
This is where the Japs were
spotted with their supplies.
-That's a cave.
-Yeah.
Do we have eyes on them?
No, can't get within
200 yards of that
without considering
yourself dead.
Probably what happened to
the scout teams.
They're hiding the numbers.
How do you know?
[tense music]
Do you get paid every
time you question me?
-I wish I did.
-Oh, that's just what I do.
Do you understand that?
Show me when you can do.
-Enough.
-It's what I do!
You understand that?
-It's what I do!
-Enough!
[tense music]
Listen, Ed, you're not wrong,
but I can't do much for you.
You can take one squad
into the pits,
-but God help you.
-[suspenseful music]
They say nothing lasts forever.
I was just wondering if
I could be your nothing.
James, that is the worst
damn line I have ever heard,
in an entire base of
worst damn lines.
Try again.
-Try again?
-Yeah.
Is that an invitation?
No.
A request?
Maybe.
So where'd you go to school?
Boston.
Mm.
That's not gonna work.
What's wrong with Boston?
Boston Braves.
That's where the Babe played
his last season of his career.
Can't be associated if
you're from that area.
What babe are you talking about?
Ruth? Babe Ruth?
The Great Bambino?
-Oh.
-Babe Ruth?
-Oh.
-The Sultan on Swat?
-Okay.
-The King of Crash?
Okay and what do I have to
do with Babe Ruth's career?
[object clanks]
Don't go anywhere.
I am not done with you yet.
[pensive music]
[pensive music continues]
[pensive music continues]
Son of a bitch.
So where were we?
Sorry.
Just don't know if I
can be associated
with anyone from the area
where the Babe had his
worst career.
You'll be back.
Don't count on it.
You will be.
Yeah, you're right.
[laughing] Have some
better lines for me then.
[gentle music]
[gentle music continues]
That a boy, come on,
there you go!
-[fists pounding]
-There you go.
-Come on, Robinson.
-[fists pounding]
-Hey, there you go!
-[men cheering]
[men chattering]
Keep your eyes on him, Robinson.
Keep your eyes on him.
Come on, Robinson.
Keep your eyes on him, Robinson.
-Come on.
-[men chattering]
Come on, there you go.
[men chattering]
-[fist pounds]
-[men exclaiming]
Oh, hey, Jesus!
Keep your eyes on Conroy,
not Caputo.
-Come on.
-You all right, James?
Shake it off, shake it off.
You're still a good fighter,
man.
Would you take your eyes
off the Imperial Army,
on the battlefield, James?
[tense music]
Fuck you.
I'm just saying, you know
the fight in front of you
is the most important,
that's all.
Sounds good to me.
You should listen to
your friends.
Yeah, what about Evans?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, James.
-What about it?
-Your last fight.
-Same damn thing.
-Not here guys, come on.
Hey, what damn thing?
What's he talking about, John?
I don't know how you
know about that.
Now's not the time or the place.
When is the time?
Gimme those gloves.
-Right now is--
-Here you go.
-Now's the time.
-[tense music]
-Alright.
-[dramatic music]
Put the gloves on!
[dramatic music]
Put the gloves on!
[dramatic music]
That's what you want to do?
Yeah. Right now!
This is how you want it, James?
Yeah, like this.
Or are you gonna run away again?
-I got, James.
-Hook me up.
It's been a long time coming.
[men chattering]
-How many rounds we doing?
-All the way.
You sure this is a good idea,
John?
I think he's right.
It's been a long time coming.
-Let's go!
-[dramatic music]
James, I've been wanting to--
-[fists pounds]
-[men exclaiming]
Oh God, come on,
hit him again.
-Getup, get up and fight.
-Put up.
-Come on, John.
-[fists pounding]
[men exclaiming]
-John, John, come on.
-[dramatic music]
James, James!
-[fists pounding]
-[dramatic music]
[men exclaiming, yelling]
Get off me!
-You were my brother.
-[dramatic music]
Go cool off, Robinson.
Take the gloves off me, boys.
-Yeah.
-Let's take a break.
-Caputo, what happened?
-It's okay, boys.
What's that all about?
-You all right?
-Long history.
I'll be fine.
Thank you, boys.
-Jesus.
-Yo, hey, take it easy.
Somebody's gotta be the nail.
That's okay.
-We know who that is.
-[pensive music]
[men exclaiming, cheering]
[pensive music]
[men chattering]
[John] I've got your

you do, you always have.

Sir, this just came in.
[tense music]
-This is real?
-Absolutely.
Sooner than I thought.
[tense music]
Read this.
[tense music]
I told you to trust me.
Let's hope those Marine
reinforcements
count for something.
Request three more battalions
to help cover the ridge
with the other companies.
-That's a request?
-[tense music]
It's an order.
Your surveillance is
not your job.
Maybe it should be.
-Airplane, say, aw.
-Aw.
Aw!
Hmm, swish and spit, soldier.
20 minutes on, 20 minutes off.
-Got it?
-Yes, ma'am.
Thank you so much.
Hmm, well, you look a
little nasty on the inside,
but on the outside you
look all right.
What'd you say you did again?
-Push ups.
-Jump ropes.
So which is it?
-Pushups, ma'am.
-Jump ropes.
-Wait.
-Pick one, it's not hard.
If you're gonna lie,
pick a good lie
and rehearse it a
little and you know,
communicate it to the troops.
-He was diving, ma'am.
-Swimming.
-We were swimming.
-We were driving.
-Yeah.
-Yep, we were, ma'am.
You gotta let me do the
talking next time.
We tried that, it didn't
go to well, now did it?
Well you know, you white
folks ain't got no rhythm.
-Jesus.
-You gotta be quick with it.
[laughs] Oh, now you
got some rhythm?
Wasn't doing that when he
was fighting James, though.
-[gun bangs]
-[body thuds]
[men yelling]
[dramatic music]
Looks like our guy, James,
has left the building.
Wouldn't be the first time.
Yeah.
I don't know what it is
with you two.
You know, James is not
the type to hold a grudge.
[reflective music]
Looks like he forgot something.
Looks like you found something.
That is James' favorite whiskey.
[reflective music]
[aircraft engine whirring]
So I ended up going to
my mama's house
and she hits me with,
so you going to the war?
[John laughing]
Yeah, so I was trying to
get her in a good mood.
So I tickled her feet
and that's when I told
her I was going to war.
[John laughs]
You hear that?
I do.
That ain't us.
-Take cover!
-Move!

[pensive music]
You wanted some action, huh?
I wasn't ready for this.
Yeah, nobody was.
What do we do now?
-Wait?
-We wait.
We lost anybody in the air raid?
Uh, no.
[door creaks]
Jesus Christ, hold your fire.
It's a fucking
massacre out there.
-Sorry, preach.
-You're forgiven.
Were you aware of this?
I warned General Harmon
about this weeks ago.
He didn't think they were
gonna hit the FOB directly.
His intel told him
there were only a few
hundred Japs,
but yeah, I knew
there'd be more.
So it's safe to say,
we're outnumbered.
Yeah, it is.
I'd like to know how
they got in.
I was told when I shipped in
this place was impenetrable.
Same.
The breach came from
behind the commissary.
That's a blind spot from
the watch tower.
Blind spot?
That sounds like bullshit to me.
Guys, they just killed
dozens of soldiers,
medical personnel and
all the staff.
They're here to kill
every single one of us.
No shit.
All right, look, this
could be a diversion.
Not sure.
The air raid, supply chain,
got most of the beach
side covered.
So I'll be goddamned how
they got through.
But they're here.
My guess is they're gonna come
in hard right down the middle
by the ridge.
-John?
-Yes, sir?
There's a pass down the river.
That's the one clear shot we got
from the jungle to
the perimeter.
You're a gunner sergeant, right?
-Yes, sir.
-All right.
I want you to take a small
squad with you.
We got three pits set up
right at the entrance,
at the fork in the road.
And John, I'm gonna need you
to hold that son of a bitch.
Yes, sir.
John, at all cost.
-Yes, sir.
-[pensive music]
How about you?
You got any combat experience?
I'll take that as a yes.
I'm gonna take a handful
of you with me.
We're gonna back up anybody
here at the base who needs it.
We got a few
thousand people here
and I intend to keep
it that way.
Those of you will remain here
are gonna do exactly that.
You're gonna stay here
and you're gonna keep
this place safe.
-Am I clear?
-Yes, sir.
-Am I clear?
-Yes, sir.
-Any questions?
-No, sir.
All right, we got a plan.
-John?
-Yes, sir.
-[lips smacking]
-[Ellie crying]
All right, listen.
20 yards right down there.
That's where you gonna
find a trail.
Take you right to the river,
all right?
We're gonna clear the base.
I'm gonna find every goddamn
soldier I can for ya.
And bring him back.
-Yes, sir.
-[dramatic music]
Hey.
Hey!
-[object thuds]
-[suspenseful music]
That thing work?
Yeah, as far as I know.
All right, good.
Scout group's up on a cliff
overlooking the beach,
that's assuming that
they're still alive.
If they are, they're gonna
be looking at any movement
right towards you.
-So expect a call.
-Okay, sir.
All right?
All right.
On my six, let's move.
-John?
-[dramatic music]
Let's go, Robinson, Murdock,
Conte,
Simmons, Jack, Conroy, fall in.
[suspenseful music]
Let's move.
[Conte] Hey, boys, look like
we found a treasure set.
Woo, yes, we did.
[suspenseful music]
[bullets jangling]
Is it Christmas yet?
I don't have a calendar.
[suspenseful music]
I haven't known what day
it is for months.
Last time I checked it
was your mama's birthday.
Nice try, jack offs.
All right, enough!
Let's load up.
[Simmons] We still got a
problem though.
What's that?
A few hundred men holding on
a thousand plus yard jungle
against God knows how
many Japanese soldiers.
[heavily exhaling] All right,
listen up.
[heavily exhaling] It's
gonna be a suicide mission,
but this is what we do.
-Any questions?
-No, sir.
Preacher, I think we're
gonna need some prayers.
Let's save it until we need it.
All right, let's fall out.
[suspenseful music]
Grab the ammo box, let's go.
-[men grunting]
-[suspenseful music]
[crickets chirping]
-Set these up over here.
-All right, boys.

-Yeah, that's right.
[men indistinctly chattering]

[ominous music]
[reflective music]
[foreboding music]
Let me see.
James, you can loosen up.
Using a lot of energy
sitting on your ass there.
-I'm fine.
-Keep it down over there.
Kenny and myself
trying to think.
Sounds like maybe you're
trying too hard.
I think you need to
get a new guy
a boxing lesson here,
Johnny Boy.
Maybe, I will.
Hey, you throw in some ballroom
dancing with it, I'm game.
Hey, it's actually
not a bad idea.
Yeah, I got a girl back
home I'm supposed to marry,
but she said I gotta
learn how to dance first.
Or you can't come home?
That's what she said.
Jesus.
Sounds like a keeper.
Well, matter of fact, she
is, a beautiful woman.
Yeah? What's her name?
Her name is Judy, Judy Watts.
Me and my friends, all due
respect, use to call her,
Judy, Judy, Judy, with
the hammock booty.
[men laughing]
Make you just want to bite it.
Well, all right, then.
She from Kansas City.
Y'all ever been?
The Kansas side or
Missouri side?
Missouri side, of course.
Then no, on purpose.
[laughing] Hey, not
unless his mom was there.
Ain't that right, Jack?
You know I wasn't gonna
say that, but you got it.
I drove a truck
through there once.
Through his mama?
[men laughing]
Well I'll tell you this,
we get out this hell hole,
y'all should come.
They got some real, pretty,
pretty girls.
Let's just hope there's
more Dorothy's out there
than Toto's, you know
what I'm saying?
[laughing] Yeah.
Man, I tell you, I
really miss her.
I just hope I'm worth
waiting for.
Yeah, you are man.
We all are.
-[faint booming in distance]
-[crickets chirping]
Hey, say, any of you city
boys got a family back home?
Yeah, I got me a wife.
Victoria, been
married two years.
What about you lover boy?
Shit, nah.
Not yet.
Oh, yeah.
Any candidates?
Eh?
Gotta get a few things
outta my system first.
Like what?
I don't know, it's not
in the dictionary yet.
Y'all hear that?
Hear what?
Exactly.
It's quiet.
[suspenseful music]

[Simmons] You all right?
Yeah.
Hmm. [mumbles]
No, you're doing that
thing with your eyes
when you lie.
You're lying.
No, I ain't lying.
I just need some sleep.
It's okay.
Sleep.
I'll take first watch.
I suggest everybody get
some rest while you can.
You don't have to try too
hard to convince me of that.
Wake me up when we're
in Valhalla.
Where's Valhalla?
You'll find out in
the next life.
How about you?
Somebody's gotta keep watch,
you rest.
Hey preacher,
I could really use that
prayer right about now.
Don't worry about it, I
already said it.
How you think Caputo
made it back?
It wasn't luck.
Get some rest, that
means you too.
Yeah, you know better
than anyone.
I can't sleep.
Doctor says insomnia
or something.
Fine, suit yourself.
[scoffs] That's it?
No lecture, no bullshit?
Nope.
I'm too damn tired.
I'm just gonna sit.
Be my guest.
You're still pissed off at me.
Yeah, I've been pissed for
more than half my life at you.
How'd you find out about
that thing in that ring?
I saw it in the file.
The file?
How could I not look?
I just don't get, why
didn't you come to me?
I was dealing with some things.
Oh, you were dealing
with some things.
I was coming to terms
with things.
I didn't want to involve
you and the family.
I thought sending all those
letters would be enough,
but obviously it wasn't.
When I heard you were out here,
I thought,
I have to get back at it.
So this is once more to
the fray, ole friend?
You always were the
all or nothing.
But you know that.
If you really gave a
shit about me,
you'd have stayed in
contact all those years.
And that was my mistake.
So now you're just
making up for lost time?
Maybe I am.
[James laughs]
You know, I actually
heard from your pops
a few years after I left.
He always had a way of
tracking me down,
unlike you.
[pensive music]
[helmet pounding]
[John grunts]
[John cries]
I miss him.
Yeah, so do I.
You should have been
at the funeral, James.
Yeah, I was dealing
with some things.
And there's not a day that
goes by I don't regret it.
You never weren't welcome.
Yeah, you could have fooled me.
Listen to me.
I'm done talking about this!

All right, let's not get

All right, you three.
We got empty pockets of people
here who still need help.
When you get there,
I want you to split up in
groups of three,
okay, that way they
think there's more of us.
What they don't know
is not gonna hurt 'em.
All right? Move on.

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
-[suspenseful music]

[suspenseful music]

Somebody's cheating, I'm

-You hold up--
-You can't even count.
-You can't even count cards.
-You put the cards in.
[Conroy fidgeting, grunting]
How long was I out for?
Long enough.
What about him, he get
into the whiskey again?
Nope.
But he's still pissed
off with me.
Oh yeah, I know.
I heard that shit, y'all
gave me nightmares.
Y'all keep going back and forth,
sound like the damn enemy.
I'm surprised ain't seen that
second wave before sunrise.
How the neighbors doing?
Looks like they're
having a party.
Shit.
I'm not playing Go Fish, okay.
This is five card card poker.
I know, but it's called poker.
You're gonna turn the cards in.
This ain't Go Fish, son.
-And they ain't invite us?
-These are my cards though.
-I like these cards.
-These are the same cards.

I'm killing 'em and they

How do you feel about it now?
He's gone.
Is he?
Look, the only thing
that stopped is his body.
But what's in here
and in here
is out there somewhere.
Where? Where!
I'm sure we'll find
out soon enough.
Brothers Conroy and Murdock,
they're waiting for
us somewhere.
That's real nice.
But before they get too far,
why don't you tell 'em to
stick around a little bit.
Help us get through this.

God, our Father,
by raising Christ, your Son,
you destroyed the power of death
and opened for us the way
to eternal life.
As we remember before you,
our brothers Conroy and Murdock,
we ask your help for all who
shall gather in their memory.
Grant us the assurance of
your presence and grace
by the spirit you have given us
through Jesus Christ,
our Lord.
Amen.
-Amen.

[John deeply inhales, exhales]
[reflective ethereal music]
[pensive music]
Got a present for you. [grunts]
He left something behind.
[laughs] Thanks.
I don't know man.
I'm thinking maybe when
this thing ends,
we create our own brand.
Maybe call it,
Peacemaker Whiskey.
Got a pretty good ring to it.
What do ya think?
May be a good time for a toast?
Nah, save it.
I'm half sleep as it is.
We need to be alert.
It's been a couple hours
since that last wave
and I don't like that.
You know...
Your enemy has to sleep too.
Maybe they're just waiting
for the right time.
Could be both, I suppose.
[scoffs] He was a good man.
A good soldier.
When we deployed out
here, we made a pact.
Him.
Evans, myself.
We promised we'd have
each other's back.
And I failed on both fronts.
No, you didn't, James.
This is war, you did
what you could.
You got another one of those?
Williams.
Huh?
The boxer that I fought,
first name, Lawrence.
I still see his face every
night, just like you do Evans.
Different thing.
Killing a man on the battlefield
and killing someone in the ring.
People cheering all around you.
He had a hell of a swing,
this kid.
Better than me.
He was faster than me.
He was stronger than me.
I got lucky.
And that's why I keep
telling you,
I don't believe in luck.
Doctor told me after the fight
that he had a precondition,
something.
I just sped up the process.
It doesn't matter to me though.
I'm still responsible, right?
I sent that family
flowers every month.
I sent them money every month,
for a year.
They just keep sending it back.
I was discharged
soon after that.
[laughing] So...
Then I'm thinking, hey,
John, drive a truck,
a shipping truck across country.
Maybe it'll take your mind
off everything.
But you know what?
It did the opposite.
I thought about it
more and more.
Thought about it every day.
It made me crazy.
A couple years later,
and a failed marriage,
here I am sitting with
some punk kid,
used to eat my parents
outta house and home.
Wanted to bang my little sister.
[James scoffs]
You gonna get some sleep?
What about you?
Three days?
I'm good, I ain't slept yet.
I ain't gonna.
Then I'm staying up too.
Big man.
I gotta present for you, here.
Remember when we were kids
and we used to do all
those sketches?
All those family portraits?

There was only one person
missing from those photos.

I see the New York City boys
and the good reverend
are still up.
Ah, you know, that's the
city that never sleeps.
Yep.
This time it works to
our advantage.
Let's just hope the
West New York
and the city get along well
enough to get us all outta here.
It's that bad over there, huh?
Real bad.
I'll have a drink to that.
You know what?
You first.
[pensive music]
And what do I toast?
When we get outta here,
I'll let you both know.
[scoffs] Sounds good to me.
[John coughs]
It's that good stuff.
Your turn. [coughing]
Yeah, I'm with you.
I got something big I
wanna tell y'all but,
I'mma save it for a
special occasion.
I'll tell you mine now.
-What's that?
-More whiskey.
[men laughing]
All right, I'll drink to that.
Whatever it is,
we get outta here,
we're gonna have some
beers at the pub.
We'll probably get lucky.
We know the rev won't.

Didn't even have to ask.
That's a first.
I've been around, ma'am.
Don't have to call me ma'am,
it's Ms.
John Caputo, West New York.
Big Italian family,
number six of 10-
US Marine, champion boxer.
Why'd you quit?
The Marines or the boxing?
Whichever's the better story.
I'm bored.
Just don't use it as an
excuse to make a pass at me.
Well, it's all right
there in my file.
Discharged, boxing was
a part of that
and then I uh.
I uh, I thought driving shipping
trucks just outside of DC
would be a good idea.
And then I got the
itch to reenlist
and I reenlisted
back in the Army after
the Marine thing
and you know that was--
Right, A for effort, Hemingway.
Next!
See, I figured I wasn't doing
much service for my country
driving trucks in the
middle of nowhere, right?
I wasn't too good at it
to be honest.
Then I realized, you know?
I'd be a better service out
here on the front lines.
Plus I got a family friend here.
Well, I hope you
bought something
better than your boxing gloves
'cause this place is
Hell on Earth.
Bunk's in the Holloman building
with the rest of D Company.
[pensive music]
Next, please!
Papers, please, don't
make me ask you again.
[pensive music]
[pensive music continues]
[footsteps lightly clomping]
He was a good soldier.
[crying] He was also my friend.

It calms me.
You know that.
The funny books calm me,
you know that.
[pensive music]
Evans?
Dead.
[loud whooshing]
Let's hope you have better luck.
I don't believe in luck.
I know you don't.
Used to talk my ear off
about it. [scoffs]
Till you didn't.
-[pensive music]
-[men chattering]
I thought you quit.
Yeah, I did.
Just like to look at
'em from time to time.

[Foley] Another attack on us
like on the beach.
We're not gonna have able-bodied
men left for another.
Takes weeks to get
anything outta here,
especially reinforcement.
But you know that.
I will remind you that
we just had 3000 Marines
set foot on base in the
last 24 hours.
I don't see a scenario
where that's enough.
[pensive music]
We've been through this before
and I'm telling you goddammit,
we weren't prepared.
And I'm trying to prevent
history from repeating itself.
If we didn't have the 37 mill
shredding those sons of bitches,
they'd have broken us.
Vandergriff says
they're coming again.
Supply chain headed for regroup,
all in.
Let me offer you gentlemen
some fresh perspective.
We are well-outfitted.
We have healthier troops
and better supplies
than last month.
And I was just told that
a battle of influenza
ran through General Aka's camp
and killed more than a
few of his men.
If that's not good tidings,
I don't know what it is.
And malaria killed ours, sir.
Look, look, you're
underestimating the enemy.
Vandergriff thinks they're
gonna repeat the attack.
Sector C our weakest link.
And if they break through,
they take our front and rear,
we're done.
We understand and
appreciate your concern.
In that case, why don't
we just roll up our tents
and get the hell outta here?
Because these islands
are a dead zone.
I mean our boys would
be better off in Europe
for Christ's sakes.
Or even at home!
-I agree.
-Oh bullshit, you do.
I never said I didn't.
Why don't you do something
about it, goddammit!
You reinforce that ridge and
you hold the break point!
It's a quiet zone in
there because,
because of the jungle.
Denied.
Manpower was deemed best
used elsewhere.
There's no more
butter to spread.
[sighs] When did you
get this news?
Rolled down from on high
about a week ago.
-[suspenseful music]
-[Foley scoffs]
Sir...
[suspenseful music]
If you don't want to use
me for what I'm good at,
and I mean this with
all due respect,
why the hell am I here?
[Harmon scoffs]
I get it.
[foreboding music]
Gentlemen, could you excuse me?
I gotta a little
paperwork I gotta do.
Yeah, paperwork.
Ed, you don't like my
perspective.
Well, let me give you a
dose of reality.
This military incursion,
just like every other
US military incursion,
is a shit sandwich.
And it doesn't matter
how you slice it.
Every single one of us has
to take a bite.
Is that understood?
-Yes, sir.
-[tense music]
And do me a personal favor
and shave your fucking face.
[tense music]
We'll reconvene in the morning.
-Get some sleep.
-Yes, sir.
[tense music]
[James] How's that
food treating ya?
[Conroy] Still miss my
girls cooking.
I tell you that much.
Book won't hit ya back.
Does when your ex-wife
throws it at you
from across the kitchen.
John Caputo.
Benny Conroy.
[John] Where you from
Benny Conroy?
East St. Louis.
-Home of the Cardinals?
-Yeah, actually.
I got a kid brother who
play center field for 'em.
You a fan?
I'm a fan of my brother,
not so much baseball.
You know, it's not
physical enough for me.
But I was the captain of the
wrestling team in high school.
That's good to know,
Benny Conroy.
Very good to know because I
tell you something my friend,
you're gonna need all
the moves you can get.
Haven't had a chance to use
it in the battlefield yet.
[laughs] Oh yeah, don't worry,
you will.
Especially when you have a dozen
of the Imperials
finest on your ass.
-Have you ever been in the ring?
-[punching bag thuds]
Just a spectator from
the outside,
but I'd love to get
on the inside.
[John] Is that right,
Benny Conroy?
Yeah.
I hope you know yourself.
You know, your strengths,
your weaknesses.
It's important.
[fists lightly pounding]
-Got a question for you.
-What is it?
How does somebody go 10 rounds
with Sugar Ray Robinson?
Hmm. [laughing]
Well that I have no answer for.
I don't know.
All I can tell you is
every man can punch,
everyone can fight.
Everyone can be the hammer.
But not many can be the nail.
It's the one who wants it most.
But how do you know?
You just know.
-[fists pounding]
-[suspenseful music]
It's nice to meet you,
Benny Conroy.

[Marine 1] Morgan, you off
pissing in the bush again?
You need to let us know.
[Marine 2] You need
to keep moving.
[Marine 1] You're pissing

What are they serving tonight?
Meatloaf, cabbage, cornbread,
I think.
Meatloaf.
It ain't that good here.
[pensive music]
[knife pounds]
The hell is this crap?
[laughs] It's cornbread.
A mick like you wouldn't

Oh a mick like me, huh?
I'm a mick too, it's allowed.
Yeah, grams used to
make the best cornbread
West of the Mississippi.
So juicy, it just like
melts in your mouth.
Absolute perfection.
That's what the
girls used to say
about me over at Ditmars.
Perfection in your mouth.
Damn, Simmons, that right
there is just disgusting.
You're cloggin' my ears
with that shit, Simmons.
How'd this conversation
go from cornbread to--
Don't wanna say it.
Give it the respect
and deserves.
The size of your
reproductive organ.
[men laughing]
-Hey.
-Very little.
Come on, guys, let's
keep it clean.
-We got virgin ears over here.
-Virgin?
Hey, so Murdock,
you had to go all medical
on my buddy here, huh?
Yeah, there's no scientific
term for this, boys.
They tried to classify
it, they can't, okay.
It's a whole new species.
And let's not forget
about the taste, okay.
Oh Simmons, I'm trying
to have lunch here, huh?
Yeah, I hope you know you
ruined grand's cornbread for me.
Gotta let her know the
bad news when I get home.
I can tell her tonight
when I visit if you want.
Save you the trip.
[men laughing]
I'll let her know about
Big Papa Simmons.
His buddy here, too.
Hey, so Jack, tell me again,
you lost your virginity
to a, uh, what was that?
A goddamn cocker spaniel?
Nah, my family was poor
so my options were limited
to the billy goat out back
or a bowl of hot grits.
I'll take the grits.
Yeah, yeah, I'll take the grits,
too.
Hey, you one of the new
GI's just shipped in?
Yep.
Ain't nearly enough of you.
That's what I'm hearing.
Yeah guys, this is John Caputo.
He's an old family friend.
John, this here is
Simmons and Adams,
two of the best sons of bitches
-to have next to you in combat.
-Hey!
This here is Jack.
He's newer too, but,
he's proving us he's
pretty promising.
Yeah, we'll see about that,
Jack.
Now while are you
seeing about me,
I'll be seeing the
about your mother.
Hey, you got jokes, everyone.
-Hey.
-[fist banging]
-Hey, so it's Caputo?
-Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, I've seen you
fight a few times.
Hey, this guy is damn
good in the ring.
Yeah, I saw you come to
Fort Hamilton a few times.
You got a helluva swing on ya.
Thanks, guys.
Yeah, so why'd you quit?
You know, took a few years off.
But I still stay warm enough
to toss up that billy goat
when I get home, right, guys?
[men laughing]
Let's keep this one alive,
fellas.
I like him.
I agree.
Please keep me alive.
I'd appreciate that.

I know yours well.
You've been around too, Father?
[ethereal music]
Some places I don't
wanna repeat.
Okay, so at least we
have something in common.

Remember?
I've been trying to forget
that for more than two decades.
You still having
trouble sleeping?
Yeah.
Some things never change.
[laughs]
Thank God I can get this
stuff out here.
Yeah, man can't asleep,
since that last ambush.
Evans was manning one of
the gun pits next to me.
-Everyone was dead.
-[gentle music]
He made a dash for his pit.
He started firing, turned
right outta the ammo.
-Got shot in the head.
-[somber music]
Died, eyes staring at
me, lifeless. [scoffs]
[gentle music]
Had Imperial soldiers in the
front, hellfire behind me.
I had to make a dash.
Got through without a
scratch on me.
[somber music]
Dynamite.
That's what scares me.
Seeing one of those
things coming at you
in the middle of the night.
It's the longest goddamn
moment in my life.
[somber music]
You know what I
don't understand?
Outta all the places
you could be,
why this God forsaken place?
Maybe I came to watch over you,
James.
[James scoffs]
You know we're not kids anymore,
right?
I did a lot of growing
up after you left me.
I know.
I know, but hey, don't forget,
I was there when you had your
first street fight, right?
What were you? 10,
11-years-old?
You had that kid up
against some fence, right?
You had him up against the fence
and you were banging his head
against it over and over.
The kid was crying his eyes out.
But so were you.
-[both laughing]
-Yeah, I was crying.
Of course, I was crying.
You're yelling, why
are you crying?
You're beating his ass.
Hey, he had 10 pounds on you,
was a couple of years
older than you.
You were winning.
You should have been
celebrating, not screaming.
I was so upset with you.
Dominic Roberto.
[John laughs]
Dominic Roberto was his name.
Dominic Roberto.
I don't know if you remember,
he had a pretty good
looking sister back then.
I know you remember.
You lost your virginity to her.
[John laughs]
[scoffs] Look at us.
Chopping it up like a
couple of old buddies.
We are, aren't we?

And I've heard a lot about you,
sir.
John Caputo.
I heard about you too there,
John.
Gunner sergeant.
And may I say,
out-fucking-standing job.
Thank you, sir.
By the way, John, whenever
you heard about me,
don't believe all of it.
Only half of it's true.
Which half would that be, sir?
Depends on which half you heard.
My jokes are terrible.
It's okay sir, we've got
nothing but time out here.
I know, well.
Times about all I got here,
John,
'cause I sure as hell don't
get any goddamn respect.
I tell you that.
Where you from?
West New York, Buffalo-Niagara.
-No kidding.
-Yes, sir.
Small world, Syracuse.
Wow, okay.
Many locals out here, sir?
-A few.
-Yeah.
Most of them seem to be
keeping away from me.
From you?
-You can count on that.
-[John laughs]
-I got a question, sir.
-Yeah.
Aren't you a little gray
around the beard
to be a master sergeant?
Look who's going to
kettle black?
First of all, I'm still
one of West Point's finest.
Don't forget that.
I understand, sir.
Are they coming for us, sir?
[pensive music]
What do you think?
I'll tell you, John,
we're like chess
pieces out here.
They place us where
they see fit.
We get company,
some of us cover the supply
chain over at the beach,
others at blood ridge.
Only problem is, is that
some of the chess pieces
are a little chipped.
Some things change.
-Some stay the same, sir.
-[pensive music]
Ain't that the truth?
Yes, sir.
Now listen, John,
you ever wanna talk any
hometown gossip,
you can come to my
office anytime.
[hand slaps]
By the way, if do another
little sketch there,
try one of me,
without the scar, and up here.
Make me look like Clark
Gable or something.
-[hand playfully slaps]
-See you around.
[gentle music]
-[dramatic music]
-You know, Father,
I'm only here because
my commanding officer
thought it'd be a good idea.
Silly me, I thought you
enjoyed the conversation.
No, I do.
I just thought you
could use your time
a little better than on me.
Plus, you can't beat
the inevitable.
-What's that?
-[gentle music]
Death.
Death is a part of life.
It's nothing to be afraid of.
How do you know?
That's between you and God.
[gentle music]
And bang, shot in the head,
dead.
That's it, it's over.
Is that what you believe?
I don't know what I believe.
That's your answer there.
You haven't found it yet.
[gentle music]
This all sounds like a riddle.
Everybody's path is different.
This is yours.
[gentle music]
Still can't sleep?
No.
But the whiskey helps.
[laughing] The good stuff.
Preacher, you drink whiskey?
I'm from Philly.
[gentle music]
Are there any more of these
whiskey drinking
preachers out here?
A few of us for sure.
[laughing] Enough to
win this war?
We'll see.
-[James scoffs]
-[gentle music]
-[lips smacking]
-[Bes laughing]
Shit.
If you're trying to be
romantic, that ain't working.
No, I'm late.
You're what?
No, I mean I'm late
for my shift.
Gotta go.
Gonna pick this up later?
Eh, depends,
how much busy work Harmon
decides to drop on my desk.
I know what you mean.
Yep, well, I guess I'm
gonna hit the gym.
Well, don't use up
all your energy.
I'm not a very giving lover.
[Bes laughs]
[birds chirping]
A scout team was spotted
here about a week ago.
They they vanished,
if that's what you
wanna call it.
The second one this month?
Yeah, well, I was hoping
they went AOL,
washed up in a boat somewhere.
But you know better than that.
Look right here.
This is where the Japs were
spotted with their supplies.
-That's a cave.
-Yeah.
Do we have eyes on them?
No, can't get within
200 yards of that
without considering
yourself dead.
Probably what happened to
the scout teams.
They're hiding the numbers.
How do you know?
[tense music]
Do you get paid every
time you question me?
-I wish I did.
-Oh, that's just what I do.
Do you understand that?
Show me when you can do.
-Enough.
-It's what I do!
You understand that?
-It's what I do!
-Enough!
[tense music]
Listen, Ed, you're not wrong,
but I can't do much for you.
You can take one squad
into the pits,
-but God help you.
-[suspenseful music]
They say nothing lasts forever.
I was just wondering if
I could be your nothing.
James, that is the worst
damn line I have ever heard,
in an entire base of
worst damn lines.
Try again.
-Try again?
-Yeah.
Is that an invitation?
No.
A request?
Maybe.
So where'd you go to school?
Boston.
Mm.
That's not gonna work.
What's wrong with Boston?
Boston Braves.
That's where the Babe played
his last season of his career.
Can't be associated if
you're from that area.
What babe are you talking about?
Ruth? Babe Ruth?
The Great Bambino?
-Oh.
-Babe Ruth?
-Oh.
-The Sultan on Swat?
-Okay.
-The King of Crash?
Okay and what do I have to
do with Babe Ruth's career?
[object clanks]
Don't go anywhere.
I am not done with you yet.
[pensive music]
[pensive music continues]
[pensive music continues]
Son of a bitch.
So where were we?
Sorry.
Just don't know if I
can be associated
with anyone from the area
where the Babe had his
worst career.
You'll be back.
Don't count on it.
You will be.
Yeah, you're right.
[laughing] Have some
better lines for me then.
[gentle music]
[gentle music continues]
That a boy, come on,
there you go!
-[fists pounding]
-There you go.
-Come on, Robinson.
-[fists pounding]
-Hey, there you go!
-[men cheering]
[men chattering]
Keep your eyes on him, Robinson.
Keep your eyes on him.
Come on, Robinson.
Keep your eyes on him, Robinson.
-Come on.
-[men chattering]
Come on, there you go.
[men chattering]
-[fist pounds]
-[men exclaiming]
Oh, hey, Jesus!
Keep your eyes on Conroy,
not Caputo.
-Come on.
-You all right, James?
Shake it off, shake it off.
You're still a good fighter,
man.
Would you take your eyes
off the Imperial Army,
on the battlefield, James?
[tense music]
Fuck you.
I'm just saying, you know
the fight in front of you
is the most important,
that's all.
Sounds good to me.
You should listen to
your friends.
Yeah, what about Evans?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, James.
-What about it?
-Your last fight.
-Same damn thing.
-Not here guys, come on.
Hey, what damn thing?
What's he talking about, John?
I don't know how you
know about that.
Now's not the time or the place.
When is the time?
Gimme those gloves.
-Right now is--
-Here you go.
-Now's the time.
-[tense music]
-Alright.
-[dramatic music]
Put the gloves on!
[dramatic music]
Put the gloves on!
[dramatic music]
That's what you want to do?
Yeah. Right now!
This is how you want it, James?
Yeah, like this.
Or are you gonna run away again?
-I got, James.
-Hook me up.
It's been a long time coming.
[men chattering]
-How many rounds we doing?
-All the way.
You sure this is a good idea,
John?
I think he's right.
It's been a long time coming.
-Let's go!
-[dramatic music]
James, I've been wanting to--
-[fists pounds]
-[men exclaiming]
Oh God, come on,
hit him again.
-Getup, get up and fight.
-Put up.
-Come on, John.
-[fists pounding]
[men exclaiming]
-John, John, come on.
-[dramatic music]
James, James!
-[fists pounding]
-[dramatic music]
[men exclaiming, yelling]
Get off me!
-You were my brother.
-[dramatic music]
Go cool off, Robinson.
Take the gloves off me, boys.
-Yeah.
-Let's take a break.
-Caputo, what happened?
-It's okay, boys.
What's that all about?
-You all right?
-Long history.
I'll be fine.
Thank you, boys.
-Jesus.
-Yo, hey, take it easy.
Somebody's gotta be the nail.
That's okay.
-We know who that is.
-[pensive music]
[men exclaiming, cheering]
[pensive music]
[men chattering]
[John] I've got your
back, haven't you noticed?
[James] I know
you do, you always have.

Sir, this just came in.
[tense music]
-This is real?
-Absolutely.
Sooner than I thought.
[tense music]
Read this.
[tense music]
I told you to trust me.
Let's hope those Marine
reinforcements
count for something.
Request three more battalions
to help cover the ridge
with the other companies.
-That's a request?
-[tense music]
It's an order.
Your surveillance is
not your job.
Maybe it should be.
-Airplane, say, aw.
-Aw.
Aw!
Hmm, swish and spit, soldier.
20 minutes on, 20 minutes off.
-Got it?
-Yes, ma'am.
Thank you so much.
Hmm, well, you look a
little nasty on the inside,
but on the outside you
look all right.
What'd you say you did again?
-Push ups.
-Jump ropes.
So which is it?
-Pushups, ma'am.
-Jump ropes.
-Wait.
-Pick one, it's not hard.
If you're gonna lie,
pick a good lie
and rehearse it a
little and you know,
communicate it to the troops.
-He was diving, ma'am.
-Swimming.
-We were swimming.
-We were driving.
-Yeah.
-Yep, we were, ma'am.
You gotta let me do the
talking next time.
We tried that, it didn't
go to well, now did it?
Well you know, you white
folks ain't got no rhythm.
-Jesus.
-You gotta be quick with it.
[laughs] Oh, now you
got some rhythm?
Wasn't doing that when he
was fighting James, though.
-[gun bangs]
-[body thuds]
[men yelling]
[dramatic music]
Looks like our guy, James,
has left the building.
Wouldn't be the first time.
Yeah.
I don't know what it is
with you two.
You know, James is not
the type to hold a grudge.
[reflective music]
Looks like he forgot something.
Looks like you found something.
That is James' favorite whiskey.
[reflective music]
[aircraft engine whirring]
So I ended up going to
my mama's house
and she hits me with,
so you going to the war?
[John laughing]
Yeah, so I was trying to
get her in a good mood.
So I tickled her feet
and that's when I told
her I was going to war.
[John laughs]
You hear that?
I do.
That ain't us.
-Take cover!
-Move!
-[men yelling]
-[aircraft engine whirring]

Go, go, come on, come on.

Son of a bitch.

[pensive music]
You wanted some action, huh?
I wasn't ready for this.
Yeah, nobody was.
What do we do now?
-Wait?
-We wait.
We lost anybody in the air raid?
Uh, no.
[door creaks]
Jesus Christ, hold your fire.
It's a fucking
massacre out there.
-Sorry, preach.
-You're forgiven.
Were you aware of this?
I warned General Harmon
about this weeks ago.
He didn't think they were
gonna hit the FOB directly.
His intel told him
there were only a few
hundred Japs,
but yeah, I knew
there'd be more.
So it's safe to say,
we're outnumbered.
Yeah, it is.
I'd like to know how
they got in.
I was told when I shipped in
this place was impenetrable.
Same.
The breach came from
behind the commissary.
That's a blind spot from
the watch tower.
Blind spot?
That sounds like bullshit to me.
Guys, they just killed
dozens of soldiers,
medical personnel and
all the staff.
They're here to kill
every single one of us.
No shit.
All right, look, this
could be a diversion.
Not sure.
The air raid, supply chain,
got most of the beach
side covered.
So I'll be goddamned how
they got through.
But they're here.
My guess is they're gonna come
in hard right down the middle
by the ridge.
-John?
-Yes, sir?
There's a pass down the river.
That's the one clear shot we got
from the jungle to
the perimeter.
You're a gunner sergeant, right?
-Yes, sir.
-All right.
I want you to take a small
squad with you.
We got three pits set up
right at the entrance,
at the fork in the road.
And John, I'm gonna need you
to hold that son of a bitch.
Yes, sir.
John, at all cost.
-Yes, sir.
-[pensive music]
How about you?
You got any combat experience?
I'll take that as a yes.
I'm gonna take a handful
of you with me.
We're gonna back up anybody
here at the base who needs it.
We got a few
thousand people here
and I intend to keep
it that way.
Those of you will remain here
are gonna do exactly that.
You're gonna stay here
and you're gonna keep
this place safe.
-Am I clear?
-Yes, sir.
-Am I clear?
-Yes, sir.
-Any questions?
-No, sir.
All right, we got a plan.
-John?
-Yes, sir.
-[lips smacking]
-[Ellie crying]
All right, listen.
20 yards right down there.
That's where you gonna
find a trail.
Take you right to the river,
all right?
We're gonna clear the base.
I'm gonna find every goddamn
soldier I can for ya.
And bring him back.
-Yes, sir.
-[dramatic music]
Hey.
Hey!
-[object thuds]
-[suspenseful music]
That thing work?
Yeah, as far as I know.
All right, good.
Scout group's up on a cliff
overlooking the beach,
that's assuming that
they're still alive.
If they are, they're gonna
be looking at any movement
right towards you.
-So expect a call.
-Okay, sir.
All right?
All right.
On my six, let's move.
-John?
-[dramatic music]
Let's go, Robinson, Murdock,
Conte,
Simmons, Jack, Conroy, fall in.
[suspenseful music]
Let's move.
[Conte] Hey, boys, look like
we found a treasure set.
Woo, yes, we did.
[suspenseful music]
[bullets jangling]
Is it Christmas yet?
I don't have a calendar.
[suspenseful music]
I haven't known what day
it is for months.
Last time I checked it
was your mama's birthday.
Nice try, jack offs.
All right, enough!
Let's load up.
[Simmons] We still got a
problem though.
What's that?
A few hundred men holding on
a thousand plus yard jungle
against God knows how
many Japanese soldiers.
[heavily exhaling] All right,
listen up.
[heavily exhaling] It's
gonna be a suicide mission,
but this is what we do.
-Any questions?
-No, sir.
Preacher, I think we're
gonna need some prayers.
Let's save it until we need it.
All right, let's fall out.
[suspenseful music]
Grab the ammo box, let's go.
-[men grunting]
-[suspenseful music]
[crickets chirping]
-Set these up over here.
-All right, boys.
-Right here.
-Yeah, that's right.
[men indistinctly chattering]
-[suspenseful music]
-[footsteps clomping]
[ominous music]
[reflective music]
[foreboding music]
Let me see.
James, you can loosen up.
Using a lot of energy
sitting on your ass there.
-I'm fine.
-Keep it down over there.
Kenny and myself
trying to think.
Sounds like maybe you're
trying too hard.
I think you need to
get a new guy
a boxing lesson here,
Johnny Boy.
Maybe, I will.
Hey, you throw in some ballroom
dancing with it, I'm game.
Hey, it's actually
not a bad idea.
Yeah, I got a girl back
home I'm supposed to marry,
but she said I gotta
learn how to dance first.
Or you can't come home?
That's what she said.
Jesus.
Sounds like a keeper.
Well, matter of fact, she
is, a beautiful woman.
Yeah? What's her name?
Her name is Judy, Judy Watts.
Me and my friends, all due
respect, use to call her,
Judy, Judy, Judy, with
the hammock booty.
[men laughing]
Make you just want to bite it.
Well, all right, then.
She from Kansas City.
Y'all ever been?
The Kansas side or
Missouri side?
Missouri side, of course.
Then no, on purpose.
[laughing] Hey, not
unless his mom was there.
Ain't that right, Jack?
You know I wasn't gonna
say that, but you got it.
I drove a truck
through there once.
Through his mama?
[men laughing]
Well I'll tell you this,
we get out this hell hole,
y'all should come.
They got some real, pretty,
pretty girls.
Let's just hope there's
more Dorothy's out there
than Toto's, you know
what I'm saying?
[laughing] Yeah.
Man, I tell you, I
really miss her.
I just hope I'm worth
waiting for.
Yeah, you are man.
We all are.
-[faint booming in distance]
-[crickets chirping]
Hey, say, any of you city
boys got a family back home?
Yeah, I got me a wife.
Victoria, been
married two years.
What about you lover boy?
Shit, nah.
Not yet.
Oh, yeah.
Any candidates?
Eh?
Gotta get a few things
outta my system first.
Like what?
I don't know, it's not
in the dictionary yet.
Y'all hear that?
Hear what?
Exactly.
It's quiet.
[suspenseful music]

[Simmons] You all right?
Yeah.
Hmm. [mumbles]
No, you're doing that
thing with your eyes
when you lie.
You're lying.
No, I ain't lying.
I just need some sleep.
It's okay.
Sleep.
I'll take first watch.
I suggest everybody get
some rest while you can.
You don't have to try too
hard to convince me of that.
Wake me up when we're
in Valhalla.
Where's Valhalla?
You'll find out in
the next life.
How about you?
Somebody's gotta keep watch,
you rest.
Hey preacher,
I could really use that
prayer right about now.
Don't worry about it, I
already said it.
How you think Caputo
made it back?
It wasn't luck.
Get some rest, that
means you too.
Yeah, you know better
than anyone.
I can't sleep.
Doctor says insomnia
or something.
Fine, suit yourself.
[scoffs] That's it?
No lecture, no bullshit?
Nope.
I'm too damn tired.
I'm just gonna sit.
Be my guest.
You're still pissed off at me.
Yeah, I've been pissed for
more than half my life at you.
How'd you find out about
that thing in that ring?
I saw it in the file.
The file?
How could I not look?
I just don't get, why
didn't you come to me?
I was dealing with some things.
Oh, you were dealing
with some things.
I was coming to terms
with things.
I didn't want to involve
you and the family.
I thought sending all those
letters would be enough,
but obviously it wasn't.
When I heard you were out here,
I thought,
I have to get back at it.
So this is once more to
the fray, ole friend?
You always were the
all or nothing.
But you know that.
If you really gave a
shit about me,
you'd have stayed in
contact all those years.
And that was my mistake.
So now you're just
making up for lost time?
Maybe I am.
[James laughs]
You know, I actually
heard from your pops
a few years after I left.
He always had a way of
tracking me down,
unlike you.
[pensive music]
[helmet pounding]
[John grunts]
[John cries]
I miss him.
Yeah, so do I.
You should have been
at the funeral, James.
Yeah, I was dealing
with some things.
And there's not a day that
goes by I don't regret it.
You never weren't welcome.
Yeah, you could have fooled me.
Listen to me.
I'm done talking about this!

Obviously, we got company.
All right, let's not get
too comfortable.
All right, you three.
We got empty pockets of people
here who still need help.
When you get there,
I want you to split up in
groups of three,
okay, that way they
think there's more of us.
What they don't know
is not gonna hurt 'em.
All right? Move on.
-Go.
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
-[suspenseful music]
Move on.
[suspenseful music]
All right, West right there.
That's a trail to get to

-No, you're counting cards.
-I'm not counting cards.
Somebody's cheating, I'm
gonna deal the next game.
-You hold up--
-You can't even count.
-You can't even count cards.
-You put the cards in.
[Conroy fidgeting, grunting]
How long was I out for?
Long enough.
What about him, he get
into the whiskey again?
Nope.
But he's still pissed
off with me.
Oh yeah, I know.
I heard that shit, y'all
gave me nightmares.
Y'all keep going back and forth,
sound like the damn enemy.
I'm surprised ain't seen that
second wave before sunrise.
How the neighbors doing?
Looks like they're
having a party.
Shit.
I'm not playing Go Fish, okay.
This is five card card poker.
I know, but it's called poker.
You're gonna turn the cards in.
This ain't Go Fish, son.
-And they ain't invite us?
-These are my cards though.
-I like these cards.
-These are the same cards.
[leaves rustling]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Just in case we don't
get to later.
We will.
Why they keep on coming?
We keep mowing them down.
And they just keep
coming, they keep coming.
I'm killing 'em and they
just keep on coming.
Goddamn.
That's the way they are.
I spent years around them.
They're not like us.
I'm gonna make it outta here,
God willing,
the creek don't rise.

[insects chirping]
It's my fault.
[Conte] Man, no, it's not.
Yeah, it is.
You remember that talk we
had about death?
How do you feel about it now?
He's gone.
Is he?
Look, the only thing
that stopped is his body.
But what's in here
and in here
is out there somewhere.
Where? Where!
I'm sure we'll find
out soon enough.
Brothers Conroy and Murdock,
they're waiting for
us somewhere.
That's real nice.
But before they get too far,
why don't you tell 'em to
stick around a little bit.
Help us get through this.
[Conte sighs]
God, our Father,
by raising Christ, your Son,
you destroyed the power of death
and opened for us the way
to eternal life.
As we remember before you,
our brothers Conroy and Murdock,
we ask your help for all who
shall gather in their memory.
Grant us the assurance of
your presence and grace
by the spirit you have given us
through Jesus Christ,
our Lord.
Amen.
-Amen.
-[reflective music]
[John deeply inhales, exhales]
[reflective ethereal music]
[pensive music]
Got a present for you. [grunts]
He left something behind.
[laughs] Thanks.
I don't know man.
I'm thinking maybe when
this thing ends,
we create our own brand.
Maybe call it,
Peacemaker Whiskey.
Got a pretty good ring to it.
What do ya think?
May be a good time for a toast?
Nah, save it.
I'm half sleep as it is.
We need to be alert.
It's been a couple hours
since that last wave
and I don't like that.
You know...
Your enemy has to sleep too.
Maybe they're just waiting
for the right time.
Could be both, I suppose.
[scoffs] He was a good man.
A good soldier.
When we deployed out
here, we made a pact.
Him.
Evans, myself.
We promised we'd have
each other's back.
And I failed on both fronts.
No, you didn't, James.
This is war, you did
what you could.
You got another one of those?
Williams.
Huh?
The boxer that I fought,
first name, Lawrence.
I still see his face every
night, just like you do Evans.
Different thing.
Killing a man on the battlefield
and killing someone in the ring.
People cheering all around you.
He had a hell of a swing,
this kid.
Better than me.
He was faster than me.
He was stronger than me.
I got lucky.
And that's why I keep
telling you,
I don't believe in luck.
Doctor told me after the fight
that he had a precondition,
something.
I just sped up the process.
It doesn't matter to me though.
I'm still responsible, right?
I sent that family
flowers every month.
I sent them money every month,
for a year.
They just keep sending it back.
I was discharged
soon after that.
[laughing] So...
Then I'm thinking, hey,
John, drive a truck,
a shipping truck across country.
Maybe it'll take your mind
off everything.
But you know what?
It did the opposite.
I thought about it
more and more.
Thought about it every day.
It made me crazy.
A couple years later,
and a failed marriage,
here I am sitting with
some punk kid,
used to eat my parents
outta house and home.
Wanted to bang my little sister.
[James scoffs]
You gonna get some sleep?
What about you?
Three days?
I'm good, I ain't slept yet.
I ain't gonna.
Then I'm staying up too.
Big man.
I gotta present for you, here.
Remember when we were kids
and we used to do all
those sketches?
All those family portraits?

There was only one person
missing from those photos.

Yeah, I'm sure.
I see the New York City boys
and the good reverend
are still up.
Ah, you know, that's the
city that never sleeps.
Yep.
This time it works to
our advantage.
Let's just hope the
West New York
and the city get along well
enough to get us all outta here.
It's that bad over there, huh?
Real bad.
I'll have a drink to that.
You know what?
You first.
[pensive music]
And what do I toast?
When we get outta here,
I'll let you both know.
[scoffs] Sounds good to me.
[John coughs]
It's that good stuff.
Your turn. [coughing]
Yeah, I'm with you.
I got something big I
wanna tell y'all but,
I'mma save it for a
special occasion.
I'll tell you mine now.
-What's that?
-More whiskey.
[men laughing]
All right, I'll drink to that.
Whatever it is,
we get outta here,
we're gonna have some
beers at the pub.
We'll probably get lucky.
We know the rev won't.
