Pappy and I'll be partners|and go in first.
Then Hodges and Canarsie.|Then Ferrino and Sleepy.
As soon as you get through|tying off your charges...
give yourself plenty of time|to get back to the pickup line.
At least 20 minutes.
Twenty minutes. Two-zero.
You understand?
All right. Here we go.
Hey.
Wait a minute.|We clean forgot about the sign.
- I'd just as soon skip that, Pappy.|- Skip it?
- Why? We got time.|- Sure you wanna do it?
I gotta do it. I got a 50-buck bet|with my kid brother.
Let's get in there|and get it over with.
- Let's get to it and get out of here.|- Yeah.
Let's get out of here.
- Did they get you, Pappy?|- Yeah. In my back.
I'll get you out in deeper water,|see if you can swim.
Now try it, Pappy.
I can't.
- I can't.|- Well, grab ahold.
I'll tow ya.
We got a lot of time.
That's everybody butJake and Pappy.
Rosemary 4-1, this is Rosemary 4.
Report your progress. Over.
Rosemary 4-1, this is Rosemary 4.|Report your progress.
- Over.|- What do we do?
Make out we didn't hear.
Put about!
They still ain't here.
We have time enough|for one more run.
Circle around|and come back on the line.
Rosemary 4-1, this is Rosemary 4.
- Imperative you report your progress. Over.|- What'll I say?
Didn't hear it.|These things sometimes get banged up.
I can see 'em! Cut your engine.
There they come, Pappy.|We're all right.
There they are.
So their radio must have gone haywire.
I'm sure glad they're back.
Tell the Engine Room|to make turns for three knots.
Turns for three knots. Aye, aye, sir.
- Have the crew stand by to pick them up, Bill.|- Aye, aye, sir.
Ah, that sounds mighty good to me.
You really sweated this one out.
Better get below|and see the doc right away.
Would you, uh, please radio the flag?
Tell them Operation Number 18|is completed.
Wilco.
Tell Radio to send|the following message to the flag:
- Operation Number 18 completed.|- Aye, aye, sir.
Very nice. Very nice.
Hey, Sleep, this time I know|there'll be girls on the beach.
Pretty hula girls. Lots of'em.
Oh, come off it, kid.
You don't have to go through|them maneuvers to get a gal in Hawaii.
Even Canarsie does all right there.
Just ask any gal you meet in Hawaii...
about Minkowsky's|magic method of making moo.
- How's Pappy?|- Aw, about the same.
That harness or whatever you call it,|with them sandbags, would drive me nuts.
What are they doing all that for, Jake?
It's his spine. He's still got|a couple of slugs in it.
He can't be moved|or get tossed around any.
Well, why don't the doc|take out the slugs?
Search me. I don't know.
Pharmacist's mate says they're gonna|do it at the hospital back at Pearl.
I think I'll go see him.
Boy, thatJake's sure busted up.
Yeah. Tough Pappy had to get it.
And him the only married guy|with kids in the team.
Hey, hey, look.
One of the swabbies said|he saw him at chow this morning.
First time in three days.|Maybe he really was sick.
Aw, if you ask me, he was just pulling|a diversionary camouflage.
- Does it hurt you much, Pappy?|- No, no.
They keep me pretty well doped.
Pharmacist's mate says you'll be okay.
Oh, sure.|Takes more than a few slugs to kill me.
Boy, we sure were a couple of dopes.|I could kick myself.
Dopes? To pull a great gag|like that on the marines?
Oh, I'd like to have a picture of|my kid brother's face when he saw it.
I'll bet he busted|his britches laughing.
Hello, Flannigan.
Good morning, sir.
- How are you, Creighton?|- Not bad, sir. Thanks.
Good. Sorry I couldn't|get in sooner, but, uh...
the doc tells me you're gonna be fine|once those slugs are removed.
When did it happen?
Just two seconds|before we were picked up, sir.
Oh, that's too bad. I'm sorry.
Write out the details, will you, Flannigan?|I'll need them for my report.
Aye, aye, sir.
And tell the men the flag radioed|congratulations for a job well done. Add mine.
- Thank you, sir.|- See you later, Creighton.
Now, don't you go|and make me out a liar, Jake.
You put it down that it happened|just like I told him.
Why start anything?
No, Pappy, it's no good.
Sooner or later,|he's bound to find out about it.
They'll probably have a picture|of that sign in every paper in the country.
Oh, the heck with it.|I'm gonna tell him.
He can like it or lump it.
- He'll lump it.|- Well, let him.
Well, I'll see ya. Take it easy.
Roger.
- Morning.|- Oh, good morning.
- Heard you were in for breakfast. Good to see you up and around.|- Thanks, Vincent.
Isn't it about time we drop|this Vincent and Lawrence business?
- Mine's John.|- Okay, John. Have some coffee.
- Help yourself.|- Thank you.
I've been getting|some pretty good reports.
It seems the landing was made|with comparatively few casualties.
- Doc give you the message from flag?|- Yeah, yeah, thanks.
Sounds like a presidential citation.
Well, the team rates it.
And I'm glad for Flannigan.|He did a great job.
- Yes, Bill?|- Coded message from CinCPac.
Bad news, huh? I can always tell|by Bill's chin if the news is good or bad.
Oh, it isn't that bad, Skipper.
- Concerns you and your team, John.|- Yeah?
- Looks like we'll be parting company soon.|- Why's that?
"Rendezvous|with SubmarineJack SS-259...
"at 1900 Greenwich civil time|on 9 June at 2430 North, 152 East...
"on special mission for U.D.T. Team 4.
Commanding officer submarine|will supply all detailed information. "
Hmm. Where will that be?
Right here, sir.
A real hot spot.
You suppose the Bonins|are our next objective, Skipper?
Who knows?|What do you think, John?
The last I heard we were|gonna bypass the Bonins.
Well, no use speculating.|We'll know in a couple of days.
- Well, Bill, we'd better look after this.|- All right.
- Pardon me, sir.|- Come in, Flannigan.
Sir, I... Well, it's about|how Creighton got hurt.
- It didn't happen the way Pappy said.|- How did it happen?
Sir, you know how the marines are always|saying they're the first to hit the beach.
That's never sat very well|with us U.D.T. guys...
so Pappy and I rigged up a gag|to pull on the marines.
We planted a sign on the beach saying "Welcome|Marines" with the team's number underneath it.
Now wait a minute.|Let me get this straight.
You mean, you and Creighton went ashore|and planted that sign on the beach?
Yes, sir.
Before or after|you touched off the charges?
No, we took care of that first, sir.
Well, it's a wonder you didn't|overlook that minor detail.
- Is that where Creighton got hurt?|- Yes, sir.
Flannigan, you were in charge|of this mission.
I put you in charge because I thought|you had intelligence enough...
to realize its importance.
But everything went off all right, sir.
- You said yourself the flag congratulated us.|- You miss the point.
You've been missing the point ever since|I took over command of this team.
You're a brave man, all of you are,|or you wouldn't be in this outfit.
Nobody questions that.
