The Pacific (2010): Season 1, Episode 9 - Okinawa - full transcript
The 1st Marine division is now on Okinawa and coming ever closer to defeating the enemy. The weather and the heat are still proving to be difficult but the physical conditions reflect their own mental state. Constant stress from never-ending fighting results in a variety of reactions from the men. For the first time, the men also have to deal with the presence of Japanese civilians, who are being given safe passage through the US lines to safety in the rear. They arrived on Okinawa on April 1, 1945 and in early August they hear that a special type of bomb has been dropped on Japan.
I could settle for something
to eat right now.
This looks like fucking poo.
Always replacing the army.
Smitty, Burke, let's go! Move!
- Son of a bit.
- Let's go!
Are those Jap prisoners?
- No. - On account of we
don't take prisoners.
Hey, take it easy.
That's outgoing.
- They're Okinawans.
- They look like Japs.
Shut the fuck up, Kathy.
Don't you hear good?
- They're Okinawites.
- Fuck off.
- What you say, boot?
- The name's Peck-- Tony Peck.
Hey, Pecker, let me see that photo
of your wife Kathy again.

- Thanks.
I need something
to jerk-off to.
She's perfect.
"Oh, Kathy.
Oh, Kathy.
"Harder. Harder!"
- Shit. - The new ponchos
are full of chemicals.
- Chemicals, huh?
- What chemicals?
They done treat 'em with
all kinds of chemicals.
That shit'll make you
sick-- real real sick.
- I didn't hear that.
- Yeah, you think they're gonna tell you?
Here, take mine.
Okay, thanks.

You're gonna drown in that hole
without a trench for the runoff.
Huh?
Put a small hole at the bottom.
It helps with the drainage.
Don't know why you bother.
They'll be dead in a few days.
Don't want to know their names.
My name is Hamm--
h-a, two Ms.
Just use it
to get my attention.

Holy hell.
Jesus Christ!
What the fuck

Shit.
Unbelievable.
Start digging.
- Fucking horseshit.
- Oh, man.
What are you doing, private?
Holes are supposed
to be five yards apart.
Sir, there's a dead body
in there.
The whole island's a graveyard.
Get in your hole

Why aren't we
giving them safe passage?
What are you talking about?
The civilians.
We should be
giving them safe conduct.
A lot of them are
helping the nips, Hamm.
That family wasn't.
Only thing that Matts
up here is killing Japs.
Get this gear, Gavanoff.
You know, the first time
you see someone get killed--
It's something.
You get used to it.
I was 15.
A buddy and I were hopping
subway cars in Brooklyn.
We went through a tunnel that
was a little bit too small.
I fractured my skull.
He, uh--
His brains and bones got spread
All over my face and chest.
You never ever forget
something like that.
Good thing your damn head
is so fucking hard.
You've got nine lives,
bill Leyden.
What's the matter, Kathy?
One day of combat,
you're all wore out.
More excitement's
on the way, princess.
Japs are fighting
for their own turf now.
Every damn foot we go South
They'll get meaner and meaner.
You'd better
get mean too, boot.
Ooh.
Ooh, la la la.
Now that's a piece of ass.
Careful. That's the man's
wife you're talking about.
Mmm.
Wow.
- Yeah.
- I'd marry her.
Marry?
Who said anything
about marriage?
Her back.
"Kathy Jones"?
Thought you said name was Peck.
She's not--
she's not your wife.
Oh, that's rich.
What's the missus think
about Kitty cat?
I met her after I was drafted.
- What?
- Drafted?
What kind of marine is drafted?
Hamm, were you drafted too?
No.
I don't believe it.
No way that broad is
banging some drafted marine.
- No way.
- I don't care what you think.
They're leaving.
Japs are retreating.
They're leaving.
K company, let's move!
Let's move!
Burgin, 2nd battalion's
broken through on the left.
We need to guard their flank.
Third platoon in reserve!
First and second,
form a skirmish line.
- Burgin...
- First platoon, hold tight!
...I need all the men
you can spare.
Let's go!
Let's go! Move it!
The Japs are falling back!
Let's go!
- Second squad, let's go.
- Why us?
Because your squad's
low on ammo.
Move it!
Get on that hill!
If it makes any damn difference
to you, I'm coming with you.
So grab a rifle and move.
- Shit.
- Second squad, let's go.
- On me!
- Fuck.
- We're moving up.
- We're taking some ground!
Great. 'cause of you, we're
gonna get our asses shot up.
Extend the left!
Extend the left!
It's about time you
stateside boys got to see
- What the war's all about.
- Not now, bill.
We need more
damn men up here.
All right!
Let's go! Move out!
Oh lord.
Okay okay.
Okay okay.
Stay on line!
Spread out!
Break to the left!
Get on line!
Make sure to check everything!
Get help right there!
Move slow in the center!
Check everything!
Stay as low as you can.
Follow my lead.
Keep your intervals.
First platoon,
get up on the rocks!
Sniper!
Put some
fire on that crew!
- Move it!
- Let's go.
Tell them
to try to hold it!
Wait for word!
Happy to be back, bill?
What the fuck are
we doing here?
- Civilians!
- Civilians!
Let's go.
Move 'em through.
Come on, get out
of the way. Come on.
Sledge, what do you see?
- She's trying to give us the baby.
- What do we do?
- Booby-trapped!
- Oh, no.
She's wired!
Take her!
We can't move!
Get at damn gun!
Stay down!
Incoming!
Cease fire!
Cease fire,
God damn it!
- Corpsman!

Pull back!
Back to the other Ridge!

Fall back!
Fall back!
- Son of a bitch!
- Fall back to the start point!
They have us targeted!
Move! Move!
- Move!
- Let's go! Go!
Come on!
This is fucking bullshit!
I ever find
the fucking f.O.
That called that arty,
I'll shoot him!
The sons of bitches
will just do it again.
- Why did they Shell us?
- Because some asshole officer read a map wrong,
And nobody gives
a shit about us.
There is no goddamn reason.
Got a body over here!
Get out there
and police 'em up.
Get me a count.
Move those casualties back
to the collection point.
Ready, lift.
Eugene.
Eugene.
My dog died.
I'm sorry.
He was a good dog.
How old was he?
Got him as a pup
about nine years ago,
Maybe 10.
They say dogs live, what,
Seven years
to every one of ours?
Take those cleaning
rags to second squad.
My brother was
on the bunker hill.
Wow.
Ship got hit by two kamikazes.
500 guys died, asshole.
How the fuck
can they do that?
Fly themselves into a ship?
Emperor is God.
Duty to God.
They can't fucking surrender?
I hope they don't.
I hope we get to kill
every last one of them.
- God damn it, give it back.
- Forget about her.
You're fucking married, anyway.
Fuck you!
- Stop it, bill.
- Hey, knock that shit off.
Bill. Bill.
God damn it, bill.
Bill. Hey! Bill.
What the fuck's the matter with you, bill?
The Japs ain't enough?
What the fuck is this about?
It's just a damn picture, Peck.
Get the fuck out of here.
She sent him a letter.
You know, a letter.
Who gives a shit?
We don't need this crap, bill.
You think I need it?
We don't need it, bill.
- Bill! Bill!
- Oh shit! Oh shit!
- Sledge!
- Corpsman!
Bill!
Corpsman,

- Snafu!
- Corpsman! Corpsman!
- Bill! - Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Get him to b.A.S.!
Come on.
Hey, why don't you get a newer
poncho off a dead body?
This one suits me just fine.
Man, I thought
it'd be different.
Different from what?
Books you read?
Movies you saw?
No, I just--
I'm just saying.
Grow up, Hamm.
Fuck you, sledge.
Why don't you pull yourself in
the hole the next time, okay?
That's the talk.
Yeah.
Fuck you too.
The Hammbone did learn
something in boot camp.
Where you from,
Hamm with two ms?
So now you want to know
where they're from?
Jesus, can't they
give it a rest?
What's the date?
June 5th maybe.
Might be the 6th.
We're never getting
off this island.
Hey. Hey.
You dig that any deeper,
They'll get you
for desertion.
We got here April 1st.
Easter Sunday.
Fucking April fools, no
matter how you look at it.
That's 66 days.
We're never getting
off this island.
Oh, come on, Kathy.
Summer's right
around the corner,
Then Halloween
And then there's
Thanksgiving.
Look. I'm already working
on your Christmas present.
Out of the sticks in '46.
Out of the heaven in '47.
The golden Gate in '48.
Oh, shit.
Let's go!
Come on up here!
I need a stovepipe boy up top.
Sledge, that's you.
Bring some comm wire.
Yes, sir.
Hamm, get a spool.
Fuck!
Sledge,
where the fuck are you?!
- Get your ass up here!
- Yes, sir!
O.P. Coming in!
Sledge?
- Here you go.
- They're moving back into that Ridge.
Kutner saw Japs move
into the hut
To the left of the big tomb.
I want a round on it.
Hamm, wire in.
X.O. Wants a round on the
farmhouse in sector 2.
Azimuth 3-1-0,
range 300.
One round, h.E.
3-1-0. 300. One round, h.
E., on the way.
Left 2-0.
Add 50 and try again.
Left 2-0, add 50.
One round, h.E.
Target. Mark it concentration
Baker for this sector.
Wait. Wait till
they're close.
Cease fire!
Cease fire!
Jesus, sledge.
Leave him.
What for?
He's a Jap, ain't he?
Cease fire!
Cease fire, God damn it!
I told you to cease fire.
What are you doing?
- Killing Japs. - You just gave
away our goddamn position.
I think they've got a pretty
good idea of where we are.
I told you to cease fire and
you're supposed to be observing.
I see you
with a goddamn sidearm.
We were all sent here
to kill Japs, weren't we?
So what the hell difference does
it make what weapon we use?!
I'd use my goddamn hands
if I had to.
Screw it.
Need some
reinforcements up here.
- Give it a rest.
- Fuck you, Eugene.
Yeah, fuck you too, Shelton.
Fuck, I'm so fucking tired.
I'm fucking tired
of this maggoty stench.
First they order us to push forward
when we ain't got enough bodies,
- Then they order us to sit
in our own shit. - Shut up.
- They fucking Shell us with
our own artillery. - Shut up.
I'm so fucking tired of not
having enough fucking bodies!
- Jesus Christ! Shut up!
- Fuck you!
- Shut up!
- Fuck you, sledge!
- Shut up, Shelton!
- Fuck you!
Hey, Peck!

Lots of people
fired mortars up here.
That doesn't matter.
What the hell is the
matter with you two?
- Find anything?
- No.
All right, let's get
these boots squared away.
Where's Burgie?
Yeah-ha-ha!
I got him!
How's that?
A clean shot.
- I got me a Jap.
- You see him go down?
- Heck of a shot.
- Yeah, I got him.
Hey, what the hell is wrong with you?
Do you feel good? Huh?
Killed your first Jap?
He's a damn kid!
What's your problem?
He's a Jap.
We're here
to kill Japs, ain't we?
Check him out.
Don't look like he's
got anything at all.
Burgie.
Where'd you get this, Hammer?
Gunny Haney gave it to me.
Pops.
Took it with him
from Guadalcanal
All the way to Peleliu.
I heard Leyden made it
back to the States.
Son of a bitch always
said he was first.
All right, enough with the sunbathing.
Let's go, move out.
We dropped some new bomb
on the Jap mainland.
- Don't that beat all.
- No. Oh, no.
This one's different--
vaporized an entire city
In the blink of an eye.
- How?
- I don't know.
Anyway, killed a lot of Japs.
Oh, word is battalion mess is
serving cokes and steaks tonight.
Might even get a movie.
Let's go! Load up!
Let's go! Get it in tight!
Let's get aboard!
Let's move!
We're heading home!
Move out!

about marriage?
Her back.
"Kathy Jones"?
Thought you said name was Peck.
She's not--
she's not your wife.
Oh, that's rich.
What's the missus think
about Kitty cat?
I met her after I was drafted.
- What?
- Drafted?
What kind of marine is drafted?
Hamm, were you drafted too?
No.
I don't believe it.
No way that broad is
banging some drafted marine.
- No way.
- I don't care what you think.
They're leaving.
Japs are retreating.
They're leaving.
K company, let's move!
Let's move!
Burgin, 2nd battalion's
broken through on the left.
We need to guard their flank.
Third platoon in reserve!
First and second,
form a skirmish line.
- Burgin...
- First platoon, hold tight!
...I need all the men
you can spare.
Let's go!
Let's go! Move it!
The Japs are falling back!
Let's go!
- Second squad, let's go.
- Why us?
Because your squad's
low on ammo.
Move it!
Get on that hill!
If it makes any damn difference
to you, I'm coming with you.
So grab a rifle and move.
- Shit.
- Second squad, let's go.
- On me!
- Fuck.
- We're moving up.
- We're taking some ground!
Great. 'cause of you, we're
gonna get our asses shot up.
Extend the left!
Extend the left!
It's about time you
stateside boys got to see
- What the war's all about.
- Not now, bill.
We need more
damn men up here.
All right!
Let's go! Move out!
Oh lord.
Okay okay.
Okay okay.
Stay on line!
Spread out!
Break to the left!
Get on line!
Make sure to check everything!
Get help right there!
Move slow in the center!
Check everything!
Stay as low as you can.
Follow my lead.
Keep your intervals.
First platoon,
get up on the rocks!
Sniper!
Put some
fire on that crew!
- Move it!
- Let's go.
Tell them
to try to hold it!
Wait for word!
Happy to be back, bill?
What the fuck are
we doing here?
- Civilians!
- Civilians!
Let's go.
Move 'em through.
Come on, get out
of the way. Come on.
Sledge, what do you see?
- She's trying to give us the baby.
- What do we do?
- Booby-trapped!
- Oh, no.
She's wired!
Take her!
We can't move!
Get at damn gun!
Stay down!
Incoming!
Cease fire!
Cease fire,
God damn it!
- Corpsman!
- Get up here!
Oh lord.
Incoming!
- Take cover!
- Those are ours.
- Short round!
- Our own fuckers are shelling us.
Pull back!
Back to the other Ridge!
- Go go!
- Fall back!
Fall back!
Fall back!
- Son of a bitch!
- Fall back to the start point!
They have us targeted!
Move! Move!
- Move!
- Let's go! Go!
Come on!
This is fucking bullshit!
I ever find
the fucking f.O.
That called that arty,
I'll shoot him!
The sons of bitches
will just do it again.
- Why did they Shell us?
- Because some asshole officer read a map wrong,
And nobody gives
a shit about us.
There is no goddamn reason.
Got a body over here!
Get out there
and police 'em up.
Get me a count.
Move those casualties back
to the collection point.
Ready, lift.
Eugene.
Eugene.
My dog died.
I'm sorry.
He was a good dog.
How old was he?
Got him as a pup
about nine years ago,
Maybe 10.
They say dogs live, what,
Seven years
to every one of ours?
Take those cleaning
rags to second squad.
My brother was
on the bunker hill.
Wow.
Ship got hit by two kamikazes.
500 guys died, asshole.
How the fuck
can they do that?
Fly themselves into a ship?
Emperor is God.
Duty to God.
They can't fucking surrender?
I hope they don't.
I hope we get to kill
every last one of them.
- God damn it, give it back.
- Forget about her.
You're fucking married, anyway.
Fuck you!
- Stop it, bill.
- Hey, knock that shit off.
Bill. Bill.
God damn it, bill.
Bill. Hey! Bill.
What the fuck's the matter with you, bill?
The Japs ain't enough?
What the fuck is this about?
It's just a damn picture, Peck.
Get the fuck out of here.
She sent him a letter.
You know, a letter.
Who gives a shit?
We don't need this crap, bill.
You think I need it?
We don't need it, bill.
- Bill! Bill!
- Oh shit! Oh shit!
- Sledge!
- Corpsman!
Bill!
Corpsman,
we've got wounded!
- Snafu!
- Corpsman! Corpsman!
- Bill! - Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Get him to b.A.S.!
Come on.
Hey, why don't you get a newer
poncho off a dead body?
This one suits me just fine.
Man, I thought
it'd be different.
Different from what?
Books you read?
Movies you saw?
No, I just--
I'm just saying.
Grow up, Hamm.
Fuck you, sledge.
Why don't you pull yourself in
the hole the next time, okay?
That's the talk.
Yeah.
Fuck you too.
The Hammbone did learn
something in boot camp.
Where you from,
Hamm with two ms?
So now you want to know
where they're from?
Jesus, can't they
give it a rest?
What's the date?
June 5th maybe.
Might be the 6th.
We're never getting
off this island.
Hey. Hey.
You dig that any deeper,
They'll get you
for desertion.
We got here April 1st.
Easter Sunday.
Fucking April fools, no
matter how you look at it.
That's 66 days.
We're never getting
off this island.
Oh, come on, Kathy.
Summer's right
around the corner,
Then Halloween
And then there's
Thanksgiving.
Look. I'm already working
on your Christmas present.
Out of the sticks in '46.
Out of the heaven in '47.
The golden Gate in '48.
Oh, shit.
Let's go!
Come on up here!
I need a stovepipe boy up top.
Sledge, that's you.
Bring some comm wire.
Yes, sir.
Hamm, get a spool.
Fuck!
Sledge,
where the fuck are you?!
- Get your ass up here!
- Yes, sir!
O.P. Coming in!
Sledge?
- Here you go.
- They're moving back into that Ridge.
Kutner saw Japs move
into the hut
To the left of the big tomb.
I want a round on it.
Hamm, wire in.
X.O. Wants a round on the
farmhouse in sector 2.
Azimuth 3-1-0,
range 300.
One round, h.E.
3-1-0. 300. One round, h.
E., on the way.
Left 2-0.
Add 50 and try again.
Left 2-0, add 50.
One round, h.E.
Target. Mark it concentration
Baker for this sector.
Wait. Wait till
they're close.
Cease fire!
Cease fire!
Jesus, sledge.
Leave him.
What for?
He's a Jap, ain't he?
Cease fire!
Cease fire, God damn it!
I told you to cease fire.
What are you doing?
- Killing Japs. - You just gave
away our goddamn position.
I think they've got a pretty
good idea of where we are.
I told you to cease fire and
you're supposed to be observing.
I see you
with a goddamn sidearm.
We were all sent here
to kill Japs, weren't we?
So what the hell difference does
it make what weapon we use?!
I'd use my goddamn hands
if I had to.
Screw it.
Need some
reinforcements up here.
- Give it a rest.
- Fuck you, Eugene.
Yeah, fuck you too, Shelton.
Fuck, I'm so fucking tired.
I'm fucking tired
of this maggoty stench.
First they order us to push forward
when we ain't got enough bodies,
- Then they order us to sit
in our own shit. - Shut up.
- They fucking Shell us with
our own artillery. - Shut up.
I'm so fucking tired of not
having enough fucking bodies!
- Jesus Christ! Shut up!
- Fuck you!
- Shut up!
- Fuck you, sledge!
- Shut up, Shelton!
- Fuck you!
Hey, Peck!
Peck, sit down!
- PE!
- Come on, you fuckers!
Peck!
Come on!
- Peck!
- You fuckers!
Come on!
- Peck!
- Come and fucking get me!
Come on!
- Come on, you motherfuckers!
- Peck!
- Peck, come on.
- Come on and get me!
- Come on.
- Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
- Come and fucking shoot me!
- Eugene!
Somebody come for me!
Come on! Come on!
Hey, Peck!
Peck!
Stay down!
You stupid bastard.
You stupid--
you stupid
stupid stupid bastard!
You fucking idiot!
You stupid stupid bastard!
Peck.
You're okay, Peck.
You're okay.
Hey.
What the fuck happened?
Hamm's dead...
And Peck's gone.
- You two, get him out of here.
- Aye, sir.
Get some shut-eye, both of you.
Down the hill!
Bring up the rear!
Let's go! Move it!
Come on! Move it!
Find cover!
Let's go!
Get up there!
Get behind that entrance!
First squad,
get behind that trash!
Clear that pillbox!
First platoon, left flank!
Let's go! Let's move it!
Let's go! Get a move on!
Get up that hill!
Machine guns,
high and right!
Get up the hill!
Let's go!
- Fire in the hole!
- Fire in the hole!
Might be a trap.
Lots of people
fired mortars up here.
That doesn't matter.
What the hell is the
matter with you two?
- Find anything?
- No.
All right, let's get
these boots squared away.
Where's Burgie?
Yeah-ha-ha!
I got him!
How's that?
A clean shot.
- I got me a Jap.
- You see him go down?
- Heck of a shot.
- Yeah, I got him.
Hey, what the hell is wrong with you?
Do you feel good? Huh?
Killed your first Jap?
He's a damn kid!
What's your problem?
He's a Jap.
We're here
to kill Japs, ain't we?
Check him out.
Don't look like he's
got anything at all.
Burgie.
Where'd you get this, Hammer?
Gunny Haney gave it to me.
Pops.
Took it with him
from Guadalcanal
All the way to Peleliu.
I heard Leyden made it
back to the States.
Son of a bitch always
said he was first.
All right, enough with the sunbathing.
Let's go, move out.
We dropped some new bomb
on the Jap mainland.
- Don't that beat all.
- No. Oh, no.
This one's different--
vaporized an entire city
In the blink of an eye.
- How?
- I don't know.
Anyway, killed a lot of Japs.
Oh, word is battalion mess is
serving cokes and steaks tonight.
Might even get a movie.
Let's go! Load up!
Let's go! Get it in tight!
Let's get aboard!
Let's move!
We're heading home!
Move out!
