Battalion Page #6

Synopsis: That day is seared into the memory of every human being on the planet: the day the world changed. First came the attack on the Philippines. Within days they spread, as though appearing out of nowhere, striking out at more islands, forging a foothold in the South Pacific. Then came the first attack on U.S. soil - Los Angeles - and the reality became clear: our world was at war once again, but this time with an enemy from beyond our galaxy. Now, months later, the fate of the world hangs in the balance as a mission to strike at a key enemy installation deep in enemy territory goes terribly wrong, and the Marines of the 15th Expeditionary Unit are scattered across the island of New Britain, leaderless, and facing impossible odds. Pacific Theater is the story of those Marines: fresh recruits who journey from their homes across the Pacific to the front lines. It is the story of John Blake, a charming Californian surfer who must find the strength to become a leader, Tracey Gleeson, a physics

take out, right?

Well, I haven't seen

it, but I know it's there.

It's heavily guarded,

and we'll have to take

down the barrier,

so I can find a way inside.

No, I'm taking the bomb.

Blake...

That's a thermonuclear

devise on your back.

Do you know how to use it?

If it fucks up, do

you know how to fix it?

Right, so...

I'll take it inside.

You guys cover me, so that

nothing shoots me in the back.

(weighty instrumental music)

We all knew this was coming.

Fine.

Think you could carry this?

Guess I'll have to.

Jesus Christ!

We'll cover you

from both sides.

You take that thing

straight up the center.

Drop it on their lap.

Seems simple enough.

You two, you onboard?

You're gonna help

us finish this.

Do we have a choice?

No, you don't.

Let's move.

(weighty instrumental music)

(suspenseful instrumental music)

Are you ready?

Ready.

We'll dock 'em nonetheless.

Light 'em up.

(gunfire)

Now.

(gunfire)

(blasting)

(crashing)

(weighty instrumental music)

Gleeson, take cover!

So, we're breaking

radio silence now?

They know we're here.

Keep 'em off Gleeson!

Short bursts!

Focus on the rear!

Try to thin their numbers.

You go that way,

I'll go this way!

We hit 'em on five!

(weighty instrumental music)

(gunfire)

You're hit!

(gunfire)

Moving position to three!

(gunfire)

(weighty instrumental music)

Lewis, Docker,

what's your status?

F***!

Here take this!

You know what to do!

Dreyfus!

(gunfire)

(weighty instrumental music)

(blasting)

(gunfire)

(blasting)

(gunfire)

(slow instrumental music)

I'm good.

(slow instrumental music)

You gotta get clear.

There's no point both

of us going down.

I'm not leaving.

I'll make sure nothin'

comes in after you.

(slow instrumental music)

Okay, John.

Thanks.

(weighty instrumental music)

Over.

(weighty instrumental music)

(pacing instrumental music)

(blasting)

(suspenseful instrumental music)

Gleason, there's

more drones coming up!

We're seriously f***ed!

(blasting)

(gunfire)

(suspenseful instrumental music)

Blake! You should go.

I'm fine, we did it.

Set the bomb now!

(weighty instrumental music)

Blake? You're breaking up.

(gunfire)

(suspenseful instrumental music)

(beeping)

(coughing)

(blasting)

(pensive instrumental music)

(blasting)

There are no words to

express the gratitude

felt by our nation for

your contribution

to the war, Sergeant Blake.

We have it to you,

and your fellow Marines

of the 15th MEU have

exposed key weaknesses

in the enemy's

military apparatus.

The United States Armed

Forces are now focusing

on efforts on taking

out these installations

wherever we find them.

Most importantly, you

have given us hope again,

Sergeant Blake.

Your victory on New

Britain has shown the world

the enemy can be stopped,

and the tide is finally turning

this long and terrible war.

I understand.

We all do...

What a great toll a fight

like this has on a marine.

I think I speak on

behalf of everyone here

when I say that you've earned

a long break from active duty.

On your return, we'd

like to offer you a post

in Pacific Fleet

headquarters in Hawaii.

I'm sure your first time

experience of enemy technology

will be highly valued there.

Mai Tais and surfing.

Not a bad ending for a

tour of the South Pacific,

right Sergeant?

(distorted instrumental music)

(sentimental instrumental music)

I wanna go back.

I'm sorry?

To the frontline.

(sentimental instrumental music)

That's where I'm needed.

(pensive instrumental music)

(blasting)
