Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980): Season 1, Episode 13 - King of the Hill - full transcript

(siren wailing)

( suspenseful theme playing)

What have you got?
Possible skull fracture.

Deep coma, doctor.
I don't know what...

Well, let's take a look.

What happened?

Got hit with a baseball bat.

Somebody jump
him or what? No, no.

I'm with Five-0 and we
sponsor a kids' baseball team.

I had the boys out
for a practice session,

he wandered up and
asked if he could help.



I said sure.

Well, he was doing great.

Was having a ball.

Anyway, this kid took a bat,
took a homerun-size swing.

Bat slipped out of his
hand and hit him right there.

Went down like he was shot.

You think he'll be
okay? Too soon to tell.

Take him up to
Emergency Treatment.

( ominous theme playing)

ATTENDANT: All set.

Go. Easy.

Light, please.

Who is he, Danny?

Marine on leave from Vietnam.



I checked his ID on the way in.

Name's Auston, John T.

Spelled A-U-S-T-O-N.

Lance corporal, United
States Marine Corps.

You got his serial number?

Yeah, 52-311-712.

What about his
outfit? I don't know.

His orders put him in
Honolulu on leave from Saigon.

Had to report to the
Marine headquarters

in Washington.

(explosions)

( dramatic theme playing)

Hey!

(gunshots)

(gunshot)

Take cover!

Someone get a
chopper for the wounded.

We've got to hold this hill.

We've got to wait
right here and hold.

( upbeat surf theme playing)

( action theme playing)

Mr. McGarrett, Worldwide News.

Word has it a guy went berserk,

shot one of your
Five-0 men, is that true?

That's what they tell
me. How bad is he hurt?

No comment now,
thank you. Who is it?

Third floor, Steve.
Thanks, Tuck.

Is Danny still
alive? I don't know.

Where are they?
Around the corner.

LEE: They're behind
that table, see?

Yeah.

Who else is in there with him?

Only Danny and the
Marine. The others got out.

Okay.

STEVE: Danny.

Danno, are you all right?

Are you all right, Danno?

Danno, can you hear me?

Danno, answer me.

Steve?

Steve?

(explosions)

Don't answer them, sarge.

It's a Vietcong trick.

At least he's still alive.

Yeah, for how long?

Why haven't you gone
down there and get him?

In the face of that gun?
It would just be suicide.

Any other way of getting in
there beside that corridor?

I don't know. We're
waiting for a floor plan now.

Cover me.

Now, wait a minute, Steve.

Now, Steve, you just can't
do... Get out of the way.

( dramatic theme playing)

Get back here, do you
see... I said leave me alone.

WOMAN (over loudspeaker): Calling
McGarrett. Calling Steve McGarrett.

Please report to Dr. Cutter.

You were there, you're a doctor.

Now, how bad is he hurt?

I didn't have a chance
to examine him.

That Marine told me to get out.

Well, couldn't you tell
anything by looking at him?

Was he conscious, could
he... Could he move, talk, what?

I couldn't tell, the Marine was
in between us with the gun.

The police officer was shot
in the leg, bleeding badly.

I at least managed
to get him out.

Where was Danny shot?

In the abdomen,
I think. You think?

Easy, Steve. He saved one man.

Man's right, boss.

Won't help Danny
any blowing your cool.

How long has Danny
been in there now?

About 17 minutes. What's
that leave us, doctor?

I don't understand what
you mean, Mr. McGarrett.

How long does it take a
man to bleed to death?

(panting)

They gave up for a little while.

You can relax, sarge.

Auston,

that gun... It's a good
thing I grabbed it.

Gives us a fighting
chance to defend this hill.

Look, Auston, we're
not on a hill, see?

We're...

Easy. Easy, sarge.

I'll take a look
around the terrain.

Auston, we're not on a hill.

We're in a hospital.

The ball game,
don't you remember?

You got hit with a bat.

Sure, sarge, sure.
Anything you say.

Now, you lay there and be
quiet and I'll hold these VC's off,

and we'll get that
first aid to you.

LEE: I said you
can't go in there.

Get out of my way. I'm
going in. I said I'm going in.

Steve, nobody goes
down that corridor.

Don't tell me that.

That corridor is an
intensive care unit.

There are patients in those
rooms in critical condition.

And Danny Williams is down
there with a bullet in his gut.

How many deaths are you
willing to accept responsibility for?

What does that mean, doctor?

Gunfire can induce shock.
Shock can kill anyone.

Or possibly all of the patients
in that intensive care section.

People just out of major
surgery, cardiac patients.

Do you want to kill them?

Their deaths would
be on your hands.

All right.

All right.

Get some tear gas here.
We'll lob it in there and take him.

Steve, maybe you
didn't understand...

I understand that Danny
is in there and he's dying.

Settle down, Steve. Cool
off. Get some tear gas.

If that's supposed to
help, Danny, it won't.

It'll get him out of that room.

You fill that room
with tear gas,

you'll induce a coughing
spasm in Danny.

You start him coughing
with a stomach wound,

and you'll decrease his chances
of surviving by 90 percent.

What about other patients in
here? Do you care about them?

Don't give me that line,
doctor. I care and I care deeply.

But first things first.

Go downstairs to the nursery,

and tell that to the
newborn babies

when the tear gas comes in
through the ventilation system

or the operating room.

All right. No tear gas.

And no gunshots.

Look, how am I gonna take
that Marine without shooting?

How do I stop him from
pulling the trigger on his gun?

I wish I could answer
that question, Steve.

All I know is I can't
jeopardize the lives

of the patients on this floor.

All right, how many are there?
What are their exact conditions?

Are there other people
in those rooms with them?

Can we get word to those people?

Facts, doc, the
facts. I need the facts.

Take it easy, Steve.

Those people out there,
they're doctors, nurses.

They're not Vietcong.

A man get hit with a
bullet, it does funny things.

Now, we'll get
you to that hospital.

But you just lay
there and be quiet.

And we'll get you
to that hospital

that you've been dreaming about.

Right now, I've got
this hill to worry about.

Forty rounds.

Ought to be enough to hold off

until command
gets off their fat duff.

(panting)

And they will too. It's
command that wants this hill.

They'll reinforce
us. Just be cool.

Everything's under control.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(laughing)

Fifty rounds.

With this 50 rounds I could
defend the city of Saigon

against half of
the Vietcong army.

Maybe I oughtta take
another look around.

See what's... what's going on.

( dramatic theme playing)

And as Danny started toward him,

Auston fired and
Danny went down.

Auston didn't say
anything? Nothing.

I don't remember
what happened next.

I don't remember getting
hit, hitting the floor, none of it.

This is Dr. Shirmer,
Psychiatric Service.

Doctor, what
happened next with you?

Well, he shot the officer
and then he yelled out:

"Dig in, take cover.
We've got to hold... hold..."

Something like that.
Yeah, then what?

Then he took the
officer's gun belt.

Wait a minute.

How many, uh, how
many rounds do you carry?

Thirty-eight to 40. God...

I'm sorry, go ahead.

He was thinking about something.

You could see it in his
face. His mind was working.

Well, then he told me
to get to an aid station,

and get help to him right away.

He said the sergeant
would bleed to death

if I didn't get help
to him right away.

He said the sergeant?

Yeah, and he
pointed at Williams.

Then he pushed the table over,

and dragged Williams
around behind it.

I managed to get out
while he was doing that,

and pull the
officer out with me.

Does all this mean
something to you, doctor?

It's possible that
blow to the head

caused an acute
psychotic breakdown.

That Marine could be reliving
a traumatic war experience.

You mean, he thinks
he's back in Vietnam?

He doesn't think he is,
he is back in Vietnam.

That's his reality,

and it's just as real to him
now as this room is to you.

Well, how could he shoot
Danny and then try to protect him?

Why did he send Cutter for help?

I suspect that he believes

that the police officer
that he shot was Vietcong.

And Williams is, uh, a
buddy of his, another Marine.

You still haven't
answered my question.

There's no logic.

It's like a short
circuit in a computer.

Is this, uh, permanent
with Auston?

It could last five
minutes, an hour, a year.

There's no way to tell.

So... we're in a war, huh?

( ominous theme playing)

(explosions)

( dramatic theme playing)

I guess they're laying back.

Trying to sucker
us out in the open.

(explosion)

This is Jack Francis
at the hospital.

We now have our
first official statement

on the situation here.

It states simply
that a serviceman,

suffering from a head injury,

has barricaded himself
in an examining room

on the third floor of
the southeast wing,

that he does have a weapon,

and that to this time
two men have been shot.

One of them, Peter
Miller of the H.P.D.

is safely out of the room,

and the second victim
is Danny Williams.

The, uh, hospital spokesmen

refuse any further
comment regarding Williams,

a member of Five-0,
our state police unit.

But rumor here at
the hospital has it

that Williams is still in
the room with his assailant,

and is seriously wounded.

You'd never make it
in the shape you're in.

Even if the VC's
let you through.

We've gotta hold.

We gotta wait
right here and hold.

I thought we might be
able to get somebody

through the ventilation ducts.

Too small. Well, what
about the window?

Get to it with a fire ladder?

Anybody showing his
head in that window

could get it blown off.

The only way is
down that corridor.

Has Hanson gotten
back yet? I'll check on him.

I don't know what we're
gonna do about that Marine

but we'd better have some
brass here just in case.

Kono, get Colonel Cardell
over here right away.

Chin, get Marine
headquarters on the phone.

See what you can
dig up on Auston.

See if he came back from
Saigon with any of his buddies.

Find out what battles he was in,

what engagements
he fought, everything.

George,

is Charley Takahashi
on duty today?

No, but I know where
we can reach him.

Get him here right away.

I can have him here
in about five minutes.

Faster.

Operator, this is
Lieutenant Kealoha.

Get me a police
dispatch immediately.

Steve.

I sent Dr. Shirmer
up here. I saw him.

Have you got the
rundown on those patients?

Things are more
complicated than I thought.

How? We're already in a
sling with complications.

There's a girl in 309.

She needs a technician to
operate a kidney machine

within 15 minutes.

All right, we need
15 minutes for the girl.

What about the others?

Two of them are cardiac cases.

The patient in 306 has
his daughter with him,

the others are alone.

We have a chance to save
them if they don't go into shock.

Steve, we just
can't risk gunshots.

Look, doctor, there's
already been shooting.

If that hasn't thrown
them into shock, what will?

We don't know if it hasn't.

Those patients are
alone in their rooms,

except for the
daughter in room 306.

But even if we've been lucky,

if we start to move in on Auston

there won't be one shot
but a dozen or more.

There'll be war
in that corridor.

Doctor, if we could get you to
them, could you sedate them?

Could you prepare them medically
so they wouldn't go into shock?

There are ways, yes,
if we could get to them.

I'll get you to them.

Abe, call the lieutenant.

Danno.

Danno, can you hear me?

I hear you.

Thank God he's alive.

Don't give us away.

STEVE: Auston?

Corporal John Auston,
can you hear me?

Do you hear that?

Well, you've got to
give them their due.

I mean, they have to be pretty
sharp to find out my name.

(panting)

Auston, let 'em come in.

You're putting me on.

Let 'em come in.

You're still bucking on the
long shot, aren't you, sarge?

You're hoping to crawl out of
here and go back to the old man,

and tell him that I... That I
ran out on my assignment,

and I let the
VC's walk right in.

Is that your bag, is it?

Auston, listen to me. Listen.

We're not in Vietnam,

we're in a hospital
and we both need help.

Yes, we need help.

You need help badly.

You think you're gonna
get it from them? No.

You know better. You're still
trying to hang something on me.

Isn't that right?
Isn't it, sarge?

You're something else,
sarge. Well, so am I.

Well, I'm not gonna do it.

I'm gonna stay right
here and see that you live.

One way or another I'm
gonna see that you live.

STEVE (shouting): Auston.

Corporal Auston,
can you hear me?

Yeah, I'm gonna
see that you live.

And how are you
gonna live with that?

How are you gonna
live with the fact

that your life was saved by
a Corporal John T. Auston?

It's gonna drive you
straight up the wall.

And I hope it turns you around.

One way or another,
I'll settle for either one.

I need help.

It'll be here.

The help will be here.

You have to believe
that the same way I do.

If it doesn't,
I'll die with you.

And I hope you don't
find any comfort in that

because I can't find any.

Why not let 'em come in?

No way, not them.

Our boys will be
here. Just hang tough.

What's happening,
Steve? Nothing.

And nothing will until we do
something about those patients.

You said you could
take us to them.

All right, get a mobile
crane here right away.

Try the electric and
telephone companies.

Need one with an
extension arm and a platform.

Then we'll be able to lift the
doctors in from the outside.

Maybe we ought to get
that girl in 309 out first.

Use a basket stretcher,

she needs emergency
treatment right away.

And don't waste any time.

As soon as we get
rid of those patients

we're going in after Danny.

Right.

They sound too close.

I'm going...

I'm gonna throw a few more
rounds of ammo at them.

Don't.

Don't... do... Don't
waste that ammo.

Well, that sounds
more like you, sarge.

Colonel Cardell says
not to shoot that Marine.

He's on his way over.

You really shook him up, boss.

When he gets here
bring him right to me.

What did Chin Ho
find out about Auston?

He's still talking. You
want me to go check?

You got anything better to do?

I could volunteer and
try to rush the guy.

No, no volunteers.

(woman screams)

WOMAN: My father
needs help! Get back.

Help, please.

( army drum theme playing)

(gunshot)

(screams)

(gunshot)

( dramatic theme playing)

(woman continues screaming)

I hate you. Why
don't you help me?

Stop it!

He's dying! Stop it.

Get on that phone. Call
the desk, they'll send help.

(sobbing)

( dramatic theme playing)

For God's sake, will you get
on the phone and call the desk?

They'll send help.
Your father's still alive.

Hello. Hello.

Third floor, Mrs. Rizzo.

This... This is Ms. Karabinos.

My father is dying.

Room 306.

Tell them to call Dr. Hanson.

Tell Dr. Hanson.

Oh, please, tell him.

You shouldn't have done that.

Grabbed me like that, sarge.

I know you're trying to
help me but let me handle it.

No telling what
they're liable to do

now that they've got us spotted.

I know, it's... It's no good.

You wanna smoke?

Auston, you gotta get some help.

Sarge, I'd go from
here to hell to get help,

but I can't.

Sure you can, Auston.

Look...

You leave me that gun, see.

Some ammo. I'll cover for you.

No dice.

That way neither one
of us will get through.

No, we're gonna wait right
here until the boys get here.

Now, you... you gotta
wanna live to live.

So fight. Hang on.

They'll get here.

We have another
camera set up over there

to cover what we assume to be

some sort of rescue
operation going on.

You hang on with
the kidney apparatus.

I'll check the man in 306,
and you men, keep your cool.

Remember this is a hospital.

Check? MAN: Got it.

All right. Off we
go, third floor.

And I see that someone
is being lifted up

the side of the hospital wing
there by the mobile crane.

Yes, it's Dr... Dr. Hanson.

Dr. William Hanson,

acting chief of staff
here at the hospital.

(crane whirring)

Do you hear that?

What's that sound like to you?

I can't hear anything.

We have no new
official reports yet,

but rumors
continue to flow here.

The hospital grapevine is
considered to be reliable.

And at this moment
the rumor has it

that an attempt is
being made to, uh,

to remove a patient who is in
need of immediate attention.

Now, there are
reporters here on Oahu

who in the past have taken
stands against Steve McGarrett,

head of Five-0,
our state police unit.

But those voices are
silent this afternoon.

( dramatic theme playing)

You keep doing that.

Hold it right there.

We got it started again.

I'll go down.

Oh, what about the girl?

They should be
taking her out now.

Thank you.

( army drum theme playing)

It sounds like wheels turning.

They've got to be
military vehicles.

We continue to, uh,
cover the rescue operations

here at the hospital.

Here's what's
happened up to now.

Two physicians have
entered the room.

They were elevated to the
window by the mobile crane,

apparently to
prepare the patient

for this emergency lift out.

Ah, great care is being taken.

As you can see there
are several police officers

and hospital
personnel at the scene

waiting for the stretcher
to be lowered to them.

They wait as all Hawaii waits.

We've got to get
doctors to 305 and 310.

Get going.

What do you think, sarge?

Military vehicles?

They're bringing up heavy stuff.

They're bringing in mortars.

And if our boys are
bringing us reinforcement,

they'll cut them to
pieces. ( explosion)

They'll cut them to pieces

right out in the open
field coming up that road.

(gunfire)

The arrival just now
of Colonel Cardell,

Marine Operations
Officer at Camp Smith,

seems to verify the
rumor that the serviceman

holding Danny Williams
prisoner is a Marine,

but we have no official
confirmation of that.

Now, we do have some information

on Danny Williams
which will interest you.

He's a local boy. He was
born here and educated here.

He attended the University
of Hawaii for one year,

then transferred to University
of California at Berkeley.

He was a psychology major,

and then he switched
to police science major

when he moved to the mainland.

More information
on Danny Williams,

which will be of interest
to you, is as follows.

We'll send you all the signed
authorization forms later,

but right now we
need the information.

Colonel, this is Master
Sergeant Wallace in personnel.

It took me ten minutes
to get ahold of him,

and now he won't
release any information

about that Marine to me without
signed authorization forms.

Let me talk to him.

Sergeant, this is
Colonel Cardell.

You give Five-0
anything they want.

Anything. You got it.

I thought they were on our
right flank, they're on our left.

This is a fine time
for you to take a nap.

Well, I've got to pin them down.

I can't let them set
those mortars up.

I can't.

(glass shattering)

DANNY: Auston, no.

Anybody hurt? No.

Lew. Steve. Brief me.

Well, you know as
much about it as I do.

We don't even know if
Danny's alive or dead.

What's your plan?

Depends on what I can
find out about Auston.

Auston's going to Washington.

The president's gonna
give him a medal,

so it's got to be a big one.

Anybody around here know him?

Came in from Saigon with
another man from his outfit.

Lance Corporal Burt Rosen.

And where's Rosen now?

Where's any Marine
loose on leave here?

He could be anywhere.

Well, H.P.D. has an
all-points out for Rosen now.

Armed forces
police too. That's it.

Look, as soon
as this rig is free,

you and Kono get up
to room 301 and 302.

That's about as close as you
can get to where Danny is now.

Now, if I have to
move on Auston, join in.

But wait for my move.

I want as little
gunplay as possible.

You got it? Sure, boss.

You can't kill that
Marine, Steve.

You heard what I said, Lew.

I want as little
gunplay as possible,

but I've got to get
Danny out of that room.

Where's Charley Takahashi?

Up there.

How soon, Charley?
Maybe 45 seconds.

Forget it, you're
not gonna shoot him.

This is my bag,
Lew. I'll handle it.

Charley? Where's the target?

First window.

STEVE: Danny's in an aloha
shirt, probably on the floor.

Auston's wearing the suntans.

CHARLEY: Got it.

Can you wing him at
this distance, Charley?

Wing him? That's
right, wing him.

I don't want him killed.

Look, Steve, we're dealing
with a moving target...

Look, can you wing him, Charley?

I could sight to wing him.

I could squeeze off to wing
him but I can't control the target.

All I wanna know
is can you wing him?

All right, I'll try.

But once the bullet leaves
the gun, I can't bring it back.

Try is not good
enough. I can't risk it.

Wrap it up.

Thanks, Steve. For nothing, Lew.

Nothing's changed.
Auston's still got the gun,

Danny's still on the floor of
that room, bleeding to death.

Look, Lew, nobody wants Auston
dead. Nobody wants him hurt.

And if there's any possible way
I can get Danny out of that room

and keep Auston
alive, that's what I'll do.

A big "if" in there somewhere.

Look, when those doctors tell me

that those patients are out
of danger, we're going in.

And if there's only one way
left, we take it. Straight in.

( dramatic theme playing)

We'll need six men, volunteers.

I'll lead. We'll go
in behind shields.

No go, Steve. We
get them both out alive.

Lew, again. Last time.

If there's any way,
I'll get them out alive.

Right now, the only way I
can see is down that corridor.

There has to be another answer.

Doc? I wish I
could help, colonel.

But right now,
Auston is in Vietnam,

reliving some battle or fight,
or skirmish he went through.

The police, McGarrett,
everyone else is the Vietcong.

Why? Why?

Yeah, why? Why are we VC?

Why doesn't he think
we're his relief company?

Somebody else from
his squad? Why VC?

I don't know.

Kealoha to all units.

You're not fighting it.

You've got to stay
in there and fight.

Fight!

Okay, boys.

Now, we move in
shoulder to shoulder.

I'll be in the middle,
three of you on each side.

Now, don't fire unless
you get a clear shot.

We don't want to kill that
Marine, so keep your aim low.

Now, when we start
down that corridor,

Auston will probably open up.

Chin Ho and Kono are in
the rooms closest to them.

They'll try to slip in on
him while we're moving,

and use us for distraction.

Now, if anybody
is hit, we all stop.

Cover the wounded
man with our shield

until we can get
him into a room.

Then we go again.

Okay, let's go.

CARDELL: Steve.

They found Rosen at Kawailoa.

Oh, I want to talk to him. Yeah.

Can I talk to Rosen?
Excuse me, doctor.

Sure, I got everything set up
with one of our cars downstairs.

Doctor, if I need
answers from you,

make them yes or
no, short and clear.

No technical
jargon, please. Right.

Rosen. Corporal?

(over radio) This is
Steve McGarrett, Five-0.

We want to know if Auston
was ever pinned down

in a combat mission
with a wounded man?

Well, how is John? Is
he gonna be all right?

Well, he has a chance if you can
tell us what you know about him.

Well, his squad was
rearguard on a sweep.

The VC caught us on the flank.

Big John's squad
was all wiped out.

They were holding a hill,
a pivot for the company.

John was the only
one who made it.

He was stuck up on
that hill for 11 hours

with Joe Applin,
his platoon sergeant.

Sarge died on the
way to the field hospital.

That's all.

Is that when Auston was
wounded? That's right.

He was hit in the
chest... Uh, the shoulder.

Shrapnel from mortar fire.

Who picked him up and how?

Did you read that, corporal?

Uh, no, say again.

Who picked Auston up and how?

I don't know.

A Vietnamese company
relieved the position.

They could have brought
John and the sarge out.

It could have been a chopper.

A chopper? Are you sure?

Well, I think it was a chopper.

The wounded guys
at my end of the line

got lifted out by chopper.

But I'm not sure.

Thanks, corporal. Don't
break the connection.

Here, have him stand by.

Which would be most likely, Lew?

Depends on the
situation. No way to tell.

Steve, he did say chopper.

That Marine.

He told the intern to get a
chopper in to take them out.

Can you get a chopper here?

This is Kealoha.

Have traffic control send our
helicopter over here right away.

Will it work, doctor, if
we play it out with him?

Treat this as if we're
in a combat zone

coming to get him out?

There's no guarantee
that he'll accept it.

Well, I've got to take the odds.

Get me a corpsman's
uniform, Tuck.

It's the only way of getting
him out without shooting.

Now, what can I knock
him out with when I get in?

I'll get you something.

What's the routine, Lew?

When a chopper comes
in to pick up wounded?

Well, it gets in
as close as it can.

If there's no corpsman they
drop one in. He treats the wounded

while a chopper either lowers
a stretcher or sets close by,

it depends on the terrain.

Okay, let's go.

Get ahold of Kono
and Chin Ho by phone.

They're in 301, 302.

When the chopper lifts me off,

get 'em to start
calling corpsman.

Not medic, corpsman.

Get some of the
other men to join in too.

If that doesn't work,

take your men straight
down the corridor.

When do we know if it works?

Auston will join in.

He's got a man in need
of medical assistance.

He buys it, he'll sound off.

(helicopter whirring)

That sound.

They're moving the
mortars up again.

I'll slip out there and
open up with this.

And back them off again.

Auston, no.

No. Well, there's no other way.

You can't leave me like this.

I'll bleed to death.

If you go out there
and you get hit,

I haven't got a chance.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

I can't leave you like this.

I...

I have to stay here with you
and we'll fight 'em together.

You and me.

(pants)

We got to.

I'll let your men know
as soon as you lift off.

There are two identical
hypodermics there.

Now, once you get in the room

it's important that
you keep up the ruse.

Now, behave just like a
corpsman in the field does.

Fake a shot to
Williams if you have to.

And shoot the
medication into his sleeve.

Then turn to Auston,

tell him to roll up his
sleeve and give him the shot.

Now, don't take
any excuses. Insist.

You have to sell him on the
idea that he's wounded too.

Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you.

This is Cardell,
lieutenant. All set up here.

Stand by, colonel.

(engine starts)

The chopper's lifting off.

All right, Chin Ho, count
three and then start.

The others will take
their cue from you.

You keep it up until I
ring you on this phone.

Operator, are you still there?

All right, stay on this line.

CHIN: Corpsman, here.

Over here.

KONO: Corpsman, over here.

BOTH: Corpsman.

KONO: Over here.

BOTH: Corpsman. Corpsman.

(gunfire)

Over here, corpsman.

Over here, corpsman. Corpsman.

KONO: Over here.
CHIN: Over here, come on.

CHIN: Corpsman, over here.

Corpsman. They're here.

Over here. They
couldn't be here.

They're here. Corpsman.

(shouting) Corpsman. Corpsman!

Corpsman!

(explosions)

Over here.

Keep your shirt
on, we're coming.

We've got a dying man
over here. We're coming.

Then move it!

Over here.

Corpsman.

I'm coming.

How's Applin?

( suspenseful theme playing)

All right, put down that gun,
roll up your sleeve, corporal.

Just get him better.

Fix him.

There's nothing we
can do from here.

Now, roll up your sleeve.

You're supposed to give
him blood plasma. Fix him.

We'll give it to him
back at the aid station.

You're supposed to
give him blood plasma.

You're hit pretty bad yourself.

Hit?

Shrapnel in your shoulder.

STEVE: You'd better
let me give you this shot.

No, he needs it more than I do.

Give him the
plasma or he'll die.

He's already dead, Mac.

( ominous theme playing)

Now, you let me give you
this shot before you join him.

No.

No!

No!

I gave him my word
that I'd get him out alive.

And then he went and died on me.

You didn't even fight.

(yelling) You ran.

Because you didn't wanna
owe this black man nothing.

He didn't even
give me the chance

to hear him say
John or call me nigger.

( dramatic theme playing)

Give me that gun.

Put down the gun.

Let me give you this shot.

Come on.

(groans)

He ran out on the living.

Like a thief. Easy.

Easy.

Easy.

You know, old buddy,
up there on that hill...

I couldn't even think of
praying or anything else.

Just hang on.

Hang on to that lousy hill.

And we did it.

Me and my sergeant.

We held it, and we held it,

and we held it, and we
held it and we held it...

Corpsman!

( ominous theme playing)

How is he?

He'll make it.

( dramatic theme playing)
