Hospital
giving blood.
The town's a madhouse!
A big house was bombed on Kuhio Street.
The drugstore down on McNully
and King is smashed flat!
A man and his wife were killed.
Your attention, please.
Listen to this carefully and keep calm.
The danger of an invasion
continues to exist.
And the planes have been identified
as Japanese planes.
Who do they think they're fighting?
They're picking trouble
with the best Army in the world.
Where you going?
I gotta get back to the company.
The company? But why?
Why?
But you can't. You're not well yet.
You're AWOL.
They'll throw you in the stockade.
They'll be throwing them out
of the stockade. They need everyone.
But your side'll open up.
They'll find out you killed that soldier.
Once I report in to the company,
they'll take care of me.
I'll be all right once I get back.
But you'll never make it!
There's patrols all over!
I'll make it. I know a shortcut.
Prew, stay till morning.
Maybe if you stay till morning
you'll change your mind.
Prew, don't go!
I'll do anything you want.
We can go back to the States together,
we can even get married.
If you go now,
I'll never see you again, I know it.
I'm sorry.
What do you want to go back
to the Army for?
What did the Army do for you
besides treat you like dirt...
...and give you one awful going over?
Get your friend killed!
What do you want to go back for?
What do I want to go back for?
I'm a soldier.
A soldier! A regular.
From the regular Army!
A 30-year man!
I got to turn off the lights,
'cause of the blackout outside.
They say they've seen parachutists
land up in the hills.
I ain't worried about them.
Saboteurs is what worries me.
I bet they're operating
all over these islands.
Halt!
Halt!
Halt!
Do you know this man, Sergeant?
Yes, sir.
He didn't have any regular identification.
They found a card on him with his name.
Seems to be membership of a club:
The New Congress Club.
You'd better take care of these, Sergeant.
Was this man a friend of yours?
Yes, sir. He must've been trying to reach
our company position up the beach here.
Then why didn't he halt?
He was always a hardhead, sir,
but he was a good soldier.
He loved the Army
more than any soldier I ever knew.
I see. I'm sorry, Sergeant.
You just couldn't play it smart, could you?
All you had to do was box, but no,
not you, you hardhead.
Funny thing is, there ain't gonna be
any boxing championships this year.
What's the matter?
Ain't you ever seen a dead man?
Let's get this body out of here!
We ain't got all night!
It's very beautiful, isn't it?
I think it's the most beautiful place
I ever saw in my life.
I can almost see where I worked from here.
There's a legend:
If they float in toward shore,
you'll come back some day.
If they float out to sea, you won't.
I won't come back.
My fiancй was killed on December 7.
I'm sorry.
He was a bomber pilot.
He tried to taxi his plane
to the edge of the apron.
The Japs made a direct hit on it.
Maybe you read about it in the papers.
He was awarded the Silver Star.
They sent it to his mother.
She wrote me she wanted me to have it.
That's very fine of her.
They're very fine people. Southern people.
He was named after a general.
Robert E. Lee...
...Prewitt.
Who?
Robert E. Lee Prewitt.
Isn't that a silly old name?Hey, Maggio! Hello!
Hiya, Prew.
What are you doing over here?
Transferred over from Fort Shafter.
- You quit the Bugle Corps?
- Yup.
For here?
I didn't pick it.
You made a very bad mistake.
This outfit, they can give back Custer.
Yeah?
Captain ain't in yet.
I'll look around.
What do you think you're doing?
- What's your name?
- Prewitt. Transfer from Fort Shafter.
I heard about you.
I heard about you, too, Sergeant.
This here's a rifle outfit, Prewitt.
You ain't supposed to enjoy yourself
before sundown.
Put up your cue and come along.
Grand went to the hospital yesterday.
You put him in the sick
