Wrong knowledge.

Jesus, I still bleed.

Sit down.

But, Doctor ...

-Shut up.

Hey Doc, check whether

What are you talking about? He is

Shut up.

I have a cousin in Wahiawa.

He also has no brain?

Who said it was "he"?

Raise.

You're talking about my cousin.

Sure. Country girl

and her cousin.

It must also be ugly.

As soon as you przywale.

Hey, we play poker or not?

Sergeant, and you?

I lived in the country before I moved

to Kalihi, and I was full of pretty girls.

No. I want to know if you enter

or not.

I walk.

Sergeant, you have a Japanese name,

but do not look Japanese?

My mother is

half Filipina and half hawajka.

You are a true hybrid.

This is not funny.

My mother is Chinese.

I thought that in this unit

serve only the Japanese themselves.

What women do you like? Chinese women, or hawajki FILIPINKI?

Glupolu, my wife is Japanese.

All taste the same.

To me it makes no difference.

Girls! Food!

Who now falls?

Now it's your turn.

I forgot whose turn.

If you head aches,

Take these two.

It's not a headache, Doc.

I'm going to Headquarters,

Check out our supplies.

Relax.

Check.

Good rate. Check.

"Check" is not at stake.

-Are you in or not?

-I.

Do not think too much,

you are no longer in the country.

Shut up.

Check.

Full, queen of sidemkach.

-Damn, I have two pair.

Come to daddy.

Pair of tens

and a couple of decades.

Skrczybyk!

Now who has a brain?

What do you think, Sergeant?

It has a brain or just lucky?

I've never played

the boys from Kalihi.

You know who does not play, right?

New game, five cards

go.

Are you ready to confess?

in this case

give me a drink?

Please reverend.

The treats.

Jimmy ...

Jimmy ...

Mary?

Jimmy.

Jimmy.

Jimmy.

Mary?

Mary?

Stay away from me.

Why?

As long as I do not promise anything.

What?

If ever I am lost ...

You'll find me.

Wait ...

Wait!

I promise.

I always find you.

Celebrities.

The mist gave way.

What do you look, Sergeant?

I hear the planes.

I'm sure it ours.

Since when have you

nickname "Falcon's Eye"?

Huh?

Ah, sh*t.

Excuse me, Sergeant.

Dave, your brother Frank ...

was a good soldier.

Yes. Always ...

I always looked after me with.

My other brother, George is ...

somewhere in the Pacific

. I just ...

I've just learned

that his ship sank.

You have one brother in the house, right?

Yeah. How do you know?

Frank told me.

His name is Danny.

He was very sciekly

because he was not accepted.

He has asthma, so ...

Dave ...

See how the moon shines

trees?

Yes.

So I can see you.

Agrees to Sergeant.

I know it is hard ...

but try to have

head on his shoulders, okay?

Yes.

I'll go a little sleep.

Goodnight, Sergeant.

Good night, Falcon's eye

Hurry. Next.

Move!

Is this our planes?

Funny, is not it?

Jimmy, all right?

Yes.

Hina talking to you?

With every rising of the moon, you see.

With each sunrise, you are born to relaunch.

The rest of the body,

preparing for rebirth.

What is it?

The old Hawaiian beliefs?

No. I just invented.

But it sounds good, right?

Yes.

Another world.

My dad told me

that this is not something you can see.

It is pure, innocent,

everything is good.

It is in us,

ready to leave us.

Do not be afraid to look into the darkness ...

to take the next step.

Purely.

About 4 or 5 km.

Guess the name of the ship,

who will take us to the mainland.

-What?

-S.S. Maui.

Do not talk.

At least one of the gods protect you.

Jimmy, I am mestizo.

Do you think that would be fine if I go too?

What are you talking about?

My father grew up with your father.

Which is the same as I am Japanese.

-Thoughts?

-Always.

Thank you.

-When the Maui sails?

-In two weeks.

You with the Territorial Defence, you are always so funny.

Again, the landing was 900m

east of the landing zone, over.

Command wants to talk to the team leader. Reception.

I refuse. The commander is dead

I am now in command. Reception.

I understood, radio silence

until 6:
00. Reception.

I understood. The end of the reception.

I think they failed.

Send a group inquiry, Lieutenant?

We can not afford to lose more people.

I give only a proposal sir.

Lieutenant ...

These boys would be raised to the Lord

as well as to Captain Ford.

Now you are in command.

Thanks, Sergeant.

We need to conserve ammunition.

Forward rest.

Command.

Germany cut off Battalion

Texas 41st

We got orders to pull them.

Put a medical battalion

in the church in the northern part of town.

This is the closest point

where to get going.

Is damaged,

but big.

-What about the opponent?

-There is not an official said.

Texas 141 is nailed

on the hill.

We know only that Germany

surrounded them.

What do you suggest?

Germany are scattered in the area

several kilometers.

Maybe one

or two regiments.

How long 1 41 Battalion, is there?

Will be withdrawn.

Now our turn.

As head, Jimmy?

Why do not you wake me?

I said that I did not.

The second battalion went two hours ago.

A third battalion will begin at 4:00

and the first set off to 5.00

The whole regiment?

I thought Colonel

gave us two days of rest.

-General changed his mind.

-To hear last night.

What happened, Jimmy?

They tried to make the discharges.

I heard the aircraft when the fog rose.

Dump failed.

It does not give us much time.

Doc says he needs rest.

I agree.

All right.

Jimmy, you're here

great sergeants

Let them be your eyes.

All right. A command post set here

some 500m away.

Each company will have an artillery observer ...

but do not expect the support of artillery.

See you at the assembly point

for 30 minutes.

Sorry, Jimmy.

But I can see better.

Sergeant, this is not the same regiment

with which we trained?

No, I think

that these are the guests ...

who wanted to fight with us in the city.

Yeah, how is this city called?

Hati, or something like that.

Idiot. This was the second division,

and the town was called Sparta.

How should I know?

All white people look the same.

Texas 141 has problems.

These include the U.S. Army

and they need our help.

You have 28 minutes.

Hey, Jimmy, this letter came

when I slept.

You see this sign?

SERVE NO COLOUR:

Only white

As for you, Tojo.

It Takata.

What?

Mistake.

Not Tojo. Only Takata.

I do not think you heard what I said.

We can make them.

Let's go.

But, Sergeant ...

-Zaki, come on.

You were lucky.

Lucky,

just as we ...

to fight for freedom

fight their own battles.

Some are worth stoczenia

others do not.

Do not worry so.

Yes, keep food warm.

- "Aloha Oe."

-What?

-Until we meet again.

One third of our regiment

came from an internment camp ...

Where they were detained

wszyscty the Japanese from the west coast

Yuk told me that they lost

houses, jobs ...

everything they had.

The rest of us came from the islands.
