Flags of Our Fathers Page #3
Mike, take six men
and bring that gun onto the beach.
Second Platoon, let's move out!
Stay down. Come on.
Move! Move!
- Get down!
- Take cover!
Move out!
Cover fire! Pour it on!
Ray, shift your fire to the right, now!
Corpsman!
and then I'll give you a shot for the pain!
Move, move! Off the beach!
Take cover!
You got a girl back home, Marine?
We're gonna make sure
she sees you, all right?
I need pressure on this wound!
Where's the fire coming from?
Where are they?
Look for a flash, shoot at it!
Let's go, let...
Twelve o'clock, take out the bunker!
You're over!
Third Squad, forward! Move!
Where are they, sir?
We got ten o'clock!
Ten o'clock, pillbox! Sergeant!
- Sergeant! I think I can clear that out.
- What?
All right, you go. Here.
Take these. Check your weapon.
Yeah? Go! Cover!
Cover him!
Cover, cover!
Son-of-a-b*tch.
Let's go! Go!
Move it out!
Go, go, go!
Down, down, down!
It's clear.
Good work.
I thought you said it was clear!
It was!
Sh*t, I guess they're not in there
firing at us then.
Lindberg!
Yeah!
Light it up!
I'll cover you, Ice!
Don't cover sh*t! There's already
enough people shooting!
One bullet and this thing goes up
like a Roman candle!
Go! Shift fire!
Shift your fire!
Go, go! Shift your fire!
Shift your fire!
Go! Move it out!
Hit the deck!
Stay down! Wait for support!
Is this a bad battle or what?
It's a f***ing slaughter.
Christ Jesus!
Get a machine gun team
set up over here, now!
Thank God! Tanks!
Runner! Get those tanks up here!
Oh, sh*t.
Get down!
Corporal, watch your left flank!
Let's go without them!
Move out! Move out!
Lggy, you gotta lift your side,
he's gonna roll off.
Got it, Doc!
Incoming!
Move, move, move, move!
Keep moving!
Get that LVT up on the beach!
Keep moving!
You're next, pal,
we're getting you out of here.
Move it!
Great news.
Maybe if you live up on Camp Tarawa,
'cause that's where we're headed.
Not you and me.
who else was in that picture,
and Christ if I could remember,
but it was Mike and Doc and Franklin
and me and Hank Hansen
but I just remembered,
you were there, too.
I wasn't there.
'Course you were.
Neither was Hank.
It was Harlon Block that raised that one.
Sh*t. I told them it was Hank.
You weren't there, Mr. Smart Ass,
how'd you know it was Harlon?
- You tell them it was me?
- No. Like I said, I just remembered.
Good, keep your mouth shut.
They know there was somebody else,
you can see it in the picture.
Then pick someone dead.
They don't want somebody dead,
you dumb redskin,
they want to ship us back to the States.
What did I tell you?
I wasn't there.
- You hear?
- All right.
Just settle down.
- I'm not going anywhere.
- You're not going anywhere.
Who the hell says?
This is horseshit.
You wounded, son?
No, sir.
Well, did you take out a nest of Japs
butt-naked with your bare hands?
'Cause if I'm gonna give up my seat
to a hero
he better have
No, sir.
Then enjoy it, 'cause they'll forget you
before Christmas.
The sixth man, you got a name?
Sorry, still don't remember.
It's a damn shame, 'cause I promised
the Major you'd know who it was.
Fact, you not knowing
throws a doubt on you
being one of the flag-raisers yourself.
Since no one wants to be embarrassed,
the moment you land
they'll turn you around,
ship you off to Okinawa
in time to meet your buddies
on the beach.
So, why don't you stop screwing
with me? Give me a damn name.
Gangway! Gangway!
Let's go, let's go! Gangway!
Where the hell is that son-of-a-b*tch?
Hayes! Hayes?
Hayes, get your red ass over here!
Make me look like I don't know
what my own men are doing
with a flag the size
of my mother's house?
God damn it, Ira,
you shouldn't have lied to me.
You made me look like
a complete a**hole.
We're gonna miss you around here.
Good luck.
Now your name's in the paper, too.
we're postponing your operation.
to the mainland.
Everybody who saw that picture
thought planting the flag meant victory.
That's all they wanted to know. Victory.
Within a few weeks of that picture being
taken, half the men in it were dead.
Mrs. Hansen! Mrs. Hansen!
Did you know Hank was a hero?
- Are you proud of him, Mrs. Hansen?
- What was he like as a boy?
Look this way, please, ma'am.
What do you have to say
about your son?
But somehow being a part of it
meant something.
Looking at it, you could believe
their sacrifice was not a waste.
Yeah, I might have thought
that was Harlon, too.
It is.
Belle, their names are right here.
It's not him.
And he would be alive
and sitting right here if it wasn't for you.
when you look at his picture, Ed.
And I need to rush home and change
because there's the Governor's banquet
and then there's the parade.
Imagine, the Governor is coming here
to meet us.
Now, I'm wearing blue so, if...
- Are you going to change?
- We interrupt this program to bring you
a special news bulletin
A press association has just announced
that President Roosevelt is dead.
The President died
of a cerebral hemorrhage.
All we know so far is that the President
died at Warm Springs in Georgia.
Temperatures will remain
the same today,
in the mid-30s to low 40s
with clear skies.
Hello?
Yes. Of course.
No, we understand. It wouldn't be right.
Thank you.
Here he is, gentlemen.
Senator Boyd, Senator Robson.
Senator Haddigan. I'd like you to meet
Private First Class Ira Hayes.
Damn good to meet you.
Proud to make your acquaintance, son.
Sorry?
That's Pima Indian talk, boy,
don't you know your own language?
Took forever to memorize
the damn gibberish.
Sorry, I've been away from
the reservation too long, Senator.
- Doc.
- Ira.
And now, the heroes of lwo Jima!
- That's you.
- Go, go, go, go. Go.
Please welcome
Navy Corpsman John "Doc" Bradley,
Private First Class Ira Hayes,
Private First Class Rene Gagnon!
Holy sh*t.
Come in, come in, come in.
Bud Gurber, Treasury Department.
- Rene Gagnon.
- Bud Gurber.
- You showing the boys the sights?
- We saw a hell of a ball game.
That's great.
The bar's there, help yourself.
I got some briefing sheets for you here,
just some simple things
we want you to say.
Mostly, "Buy bonds,"
can't say that too often.
Itineraries, those are changing
every couple minutes.
Everybody wants to meet you guys.
I got women sending up envelopes
with stockings in them,
notes written in lipstick. We won't
mention that to the press, am I right?
Have a drink, for Christ's sake.
My God, what you boys
must have seen over there.
I've been watching the newsreels.
Jesus Christ, that was a fight and a half.
So, we got a hell of a lot of money
to raise, not a lot of time.
White House tomorrow,
