Hawaii Five-O (1968) s01e15 Episode Script
King of the Hill
( siren wailing ) ( suspenseful theme playing ) What have you got? Possible skull fracture.
Deep coma, doctor.
I don't know what-- Well, let's take a look.
What happened? Got hit with a baseball bat.
Somebody jump him or what? No, no.
I'm with Five-0 and we sponsor a kids' baseball team.
I had the boys out for a practice session, he wandered up and asked if he could help.
I said sure.
Well, he was doing great.
Was having a ball.
Anyway, this kid took a bat, took a homerun-size swing.
Bat slipped out of his hand and hit him right there.
Went down like he was shot.
You think he'll be okay? Too soon to tell.
Take him up to Emergency Treatment.
( ominous theme playing ) ATTENDANT: All set.
Go.
Easy.
Light, please.
Who is he, Danny? Marine on leave from Vietnam.
I checked his ID on the way in.
Name's Auston, John T.
Spelled A-U-S-T-O-N.
Lance corporal, United States Marine Corps.
You got his serial number? Yeah, 52-311-712.
What about his outfit? I don't know.
His orders put him in Honolulu on leave from Saigon.
Had to report to the Marine headquarters in Washington.
( explosions ) ( dramatic theme playing ) Hey! ( gunshots ) ( gunshot ) Take cover! Someone get a chopper for the wounded.
We've got to hold this hill.
We've got to wait right here and hold.
( upbeat surf theme playing ) ( action theme playing ) Mr.
McGarrett, Worldwide News.
Word has it a guy went berserk, shot one of your Five-0 men, is that true? That's what they tell me.
How bad is he hurt? No comment now, thank you.
Who is it? Third floor, Steve.
Thanks, Tuck.
Is Danny still alive? I don't know.
Where are they? Around the corner.
LEE: They're behind that table, see? Yeah.
Who else is in there with him? Only Danny and the Marine.
The others got out.
Okay.
STEVE: Danny.
Danno, are you all right? Are you all right, Danno? Danno, can you hear me? Danno, answer me.
Steve? Steve? ( explosions ) Don't answer them, sarge.
It's a Vietcong trick.
At least he's still alive.
Yeah, for how long? Why haven't you gone down there and get him? In the face of that gun? It would just be suicide.
Any other way of getting in there beside that corridor? I don't know.
We're waiting for a floor plan now.
Cover me.
Now, wait a minute, Steve.
Now, Steve, you just can't do-- Get out of the way.
( dramatic theme playing ) Get back here, do you see-- I said leave me alone.
WOMAN ( over loudspeaker ): Calling McGarrett.
Calling Steve McGarrett.
Please report to Dr.
Cutter.
You were there, you're a doctor.
Now, how bad is he hurt? I didn't have a chance to examine him.
That Marine told me to get out.
Well, couldn't you tell anything by looking at him? Was he conscious, could he-- could he move, talk, what? I couldn't tell, the Marine was in between us with the gun.
The police officer was shot in the leg, bleeding badly.
I at least managed to get him out.
Where was Danny shot? In the abdomen, I think.
You think? Easy, Steve.
He saved one man.
Man's right, boss.
Won't help Danny any blowing your cool.
How long has Danny been in there now? About 17 minutes.
What's that leave us, doctor? I don't understand what you mean, Mr.
McGarrett.
How long does it take a man to bleed to death? ( panting ) They gave up for a little while.
You can relax, sarge.
Auston, that gun It's a good thing I grabbed it.
Gives us a fighting chance to defend this hill.
Look, Auston, we're not on a hill, see? We're-- Easy.
Easy, sarge.
I'll take a look around the terrain.
Auston, we're not on a hill.
We're in a hospital.
The ball game, don't you remember? You got hit with a bat.
Sure, sarge, sure.
Anything you say.
Now, you lay there and be quiet and I'll hold these VC's off, and we'll get that first aid to you.
LEE: I said you can't go in there.
Get out of my way.
I'm going in.
I said I'm going in.
Steve, nobody goes down that corridor.
Don't tell me that.
That corridor is an intensive care unit.
There are patients in those rooms in critical condition.
And Danny Williams is down there with a bullet in his gut.
How many deaths are you willing to accept responsibility for? What does that mean, doctor? Gunfire can induce shock.
Shock can kill anyone.
Or possibly all of the patients in that intensive care section.
People just out of major surgery, cardiac patients.
Do you want to kill them? Their deaths would be on your hands.
All right.
All right.
Get some tear gas here.
We'll lob it in there and take him.
Steve, maybe you didn't understand-- I understand that Danny is in there and he's dying.
Settle down, Steve.
Cool off.
Get some tear gas.
If that's supposed to help, Danny, it won't.
It'll get him out of that room.
You fill that room with tear gas, you'll induce a coughing spasm in Danny.
You start him coughing with a stomach wound, and you'll decrease his chances of surviving by 90 percent.
What about other patients in here? Do you care about them? Don't give me that line, doctor.
I care and I care deeply.
But first things first.
Go downstairs to the nursery, and tell that to the newborn babies when the tear gas comes in through the ventilation system or the operating room.
All right.
No tear gas.
And no gunshots.
Look, how am I gonna take that Marine without shooting? How do I stop him from pulling the trigger on his gun? I wish I could answer that question, Steve.
All I know is I can't jeopardize the lives of the patients on this floor.
All right, how many are there? What are their exact conditions? Are there other people in those rooms with them? Can we get word to those people? Facts, doc, the facts.
I need the facts.
Take it easy, Steve.
Those people out there, they're doctors, nurses.
They're not Vietcong.
A man get hit with a bullet, it does funny things.
Now, we'll get you to that hospital.
But you just lay there and be quiet.
And we'll get you to that hospital that you've been dreaming about.
Right now, I've got this hill to worry about.
Forty rounds.
Ought to be enough to hold off until command gets off their fat duff.
( panting ) And they will too.
It's command that wants this hill.
They'll reinforce us.
Just be cool.
Everything's under control.
( suspenseful theme playing ) ( laughing ) Fifty rounds.
With this 50 rounds I could defend the city of Saigon against half of the Vietcong army.
Maybe I oughtta take another look around.
See what's--what's going on.
( dramatic theme playing ) And as Danny started toward him, Auston fired and Danny went down.
Auston didn't say anything? Nothing.
I don't remember what happened next.
I don't remember getting hit, hitting the floor, none of it.
This is Dr.
Shirmer, Psychiatric Service.
Doctor, what happened next with you? Well, he shot the officer and then he yelled out: "Dig in, take cover.
We've got to hold--hold" Something like that.
Yeah, then what? Then he took the officer's gun belt.
Wait a minute.
How many, uh, how many rounds do you carry? Thirty-eight to 40.
God I'm sorry, go ahead.
He was thinking about something.
You could see it in his face.
His mind was working.
Well, then he told me to get to an aid station, and get help to him right away.
He said the sergeant would bleed to death if I didn't get help to him right away.
He said the sergeant? Yeah, and he pointed at Williams.
Then he pushed the table over, and dragged Williams around behind it.
I managed to get out while he was doing that, and pull the officer out with me.
Does all this mean something to you, doctor? It's possible that blow to the head caused an acute psychotic breakdown.
That Marine could be reliving a traumatic war experience.
You mean, he thinks he's back in Vietnam? He doesn't think he is, he is back in Vietnam.
That's his reality, and it's just as real to him now as this room is to you.
Well, how could he shoot Danny and then try to protect him? Why did he send Cutter for help? I suspect that he believes that the police officer that he shot was Vietcong.
And Williams is, uh, a buddy of his, another Marine.
You still haven't answered my question.
There's no logic.
It's like a short circuit in a computer.
Is this, uh, permanent with Auston? It could last five minutes, an hour, a year.
There's no way to tell.
So we're in a war, huh? ( ominous theme playing ) ( explosions ) ( dramatic theme playing ) I guess they're laying back.
Trying to sucker us out in the open.
( explosion ) This is Jack Francis at the hospital.
We now have our first official statement on the situation here.
It states simply that a serviceman, suffering from a head injury, has barricaded himself in an examining room on the third floor of the southeast wing, that he does have a weapon, and that to this time two men have been shot.
One of them, Peter Miller of the H.
P.
D.
is safely out of the room, and the second victim is Danny Williams.
The, uh, hospital spokesmen refuse any further comment regarding Williams, a member of Five-0, our state police unit.
But rumor here at the hospital has it that Williams is still in the room with his assailant, and is seriously wounded.
You'd never make it in the shape you're in.
Even if the VC's let you through.
We've gotta hold.
We gotta wait right here and hold.
I thought we might be able to get somebody through the ventilation ducts.
Too small.
Well, what about the window? Get to it with a fire ladder? Anybody showing his head in that window could get it blown off.
The only way is down that corridor.
Has Hanson gotten back yet? I'll check on him.
I don't know what we're gonna do about that Marine but we'd better have some brass here just in case.
Kono, get Colonel Cardell over here right away.
Chin, get Marine headquarters on the phone.
See what you can dig up on Auston.
See if he came back from Saigon with any of his buddies.
Find out what battles he was in, what engagements he fought, everything.
George, is Charley Takahashi on duty today? No, but I know where we can reach him.
Get him here right away.
I can have him here in about five minutes.
Faster.
Operator, this is Lieutenant Kealoha.
Get me a police dispatch immediately.
Steve.
I sent Dr.
Shirmer up here.
I saw him.
Have you got the rundown on those patients? Things are more complicated than I thought.
How? We're already in a sling with complications.
There's a girl in 309.
She needs a technician to operate a kidney machine within 15 minutes.
All right, we need 15 minutes for the girl.
What about the others? Two of them are cardiac cases.
The patient in 306 has his daughter with him, the others are alone.
We have a chance to save them if they don't go into shock.
Steve, we just can't risk gunshots.
Look, doctor, there's already been shooting.
If that hasn't thrown them into shock, what will? We don't know if it hasn't.
Those patients are alone in their rooms, except for the daughter in room 306.
But even if we've been lucky, if we start to move in on Auston there won't be one shot but a dozen or more.
There'll be war in that corridor.
Doctor, if we could get you to them, could you sedate them? Could you prepare them medically so they wouldn't go into shock? There are ways, yes, if we could get to them.
I'll get you to them.
Abe, call the lieutenant.
Danno.
Danno, can you hear me? I hear you.
Thank God he's alive.
Don't give us away.
STEVE: Auston? Corporal John Auston, can you hear me? Do you hear that? Well, you've got to give them their due.
I mean, they have to be pretty sharp to find out my name.
( panting ) Auston, let 'em come in.
You're putting me on.
Let 'em come in.
You're still bucking on the long shot, aren't you, sarge? You're hoping to crawl out of here and go back to the old man, and tell him that I-- that I ran out on my assignment, and I let the VC's walk right in.
Is that your bag, is it? Auston, listen to me.
Listen.
We're not in Vietnam, we're in a hospital and we both need help.
Yes, we need help.
You need help badly.
You think you're gonna get it from them? No.
You know better.
You're still trying to hang something on me.
Isn't that right? Isn't it, sarge? You're something else, sarge.
Well, so am I.
Well, I'm not gonna do it.
I'm gonna stay right here and see that you live.
One way or another I'm gonna see that you live.
STEVE ( shouting ): Auston.
Corporal Auston, can you hear me? Yeah, I'm gonna see that you live.
And how are you gonna live with that? How are you gonna live with the fact that your life was saved by a Corporal John T.
Auston? It's gonna drive you straight up the wall.
And I hope it turns you around.
One way or another, I'll settle for either one.
I need help.
It'll be here.
The help will be here.
You have to believe that the same way I do.
If it doesn't, I'll die with you.
And I hope you don't find any comfort in that because I can't find any.
Why not let 'em come in? No way, not them.
Our boys will be here.
Just hang tough.
What's happening, Steve? Nothing.
And nothing will until we do something about those patients.
You said you could take us to them.
All right, get a mobile crane here right away.
Try the electric and telephone companies.
Need one with an extension arm and a platform.
Then we'll be able to lift the doctors in from the outside.
Maybe we ought to get that girl in 309 out first.
Use a basket stretcher, she needs emergency treatment right away.
And don't waste any time.
As soon as we get rid of those patients we're going in after Danny.
Right.
They sound too close.
I'm going-- I'm gonna throw a few more rounds of ammo at them.
Don't.
Don't--do-- Don't waste that ammo.
Well, that sounds more like you, sarge.
Colonel Cardell says not to shoot that Marine.
He's on his way over.
You really shook him up, boss.
When he gets here bring him right to me.
What did Chin Ho find out about Auston? He's still talking.
You want me to go check? You got anything better to do? I could volunteer and try to rush the guy.
No, no volunteers.
( woman screams ) WOMAN: My father needs help! Get back.
Help, please.
( army drum theme playing ) ( gunshot ) ( screams ) ( gunshot ) ( dramatic theme playing ) ( woman continues screaming ) I hate you.
Why don't you help me? Stop it! He's dying! Stop it.
Get on that phone.
Call the desk, they'll send help.
( sobbing ) ( dramatic theme playing ) For God's sake, will you get on the phone and call the desk? They'll send help.
Your father's still alive.
Hello.
Hello.
Third floor, Mrs.
Rizzo.
This-- This is Ms.
Karabinos.
My father is dying.
Room 306.
Tell them to call Dr.
Hanson.
Tell Dr.
Hanson.
Oh, please, tell him.
You shouldn't have done that.
Grabbed me like that, sarge.
I know you're trying to help me but let me handle it.
No telling what they're liable to do now that they've got us spotted.
I know, it's It's no good.
You wanna smoke? Auston, you gotta get some help.
Sarge, I'd go from here to hell to get help, but I can't.
Sure you can, Auston.
Look You leave me that gun, see.
Some ammo.
I'll cover for you.
No dice.
That way neither one of us will get through.
No, we're gonna wait right here until the boys get here.
Now, you--you gotta wanna live to live.
So fight.
Hang on.
They'll get here.
We have another camera set up over there to cover what we assume to be some sort of rescue operation going on.
You hang on with the kidney apparatus.
I'll check the man in 306, and you men, keep your cool.
Remember this is a hospital.
Check? MAN: Got it.
All right.
Off we go, third floor.
And I see that someone is being lifted up the side of the hospital wing there by the mobile crane.
Yes, it's Dr.
--Dr.
Hanson.
Dr.
William Hanson, acting chief of staff here at the hospital.
( crane whirring ) Do you hear that? What's that sound like to you? I can't hear anything.
We have no new official reports yet, but rumors continue to flow here.
The hospital grapevine is considered to be reliable.
And at this moment the rumor has it that an attempt is being made to, uh, to remove a patient who is in need of immediate attention.
Now, there are reporters here on Oahu who in the past have taken stands against Steve McGarrett, head of Five-0, our state police unit.
But those voices are silent this afternoon.
( dramatic theme playing ) You keep doing that.
Hold it right there.
We got it started again.
I'll go down.
Oh, what about the girl? They should be taking her out now.
Thank you.
( army drum theme playing ) It sounds like wheels turning.
They've got to be military vehicles.
We continue to, uh, cover the rescue operations here at the hospital.
Here's what's happened up to now.
Two physicians have entered the room.
They were elevated to the window by the mobile crane, apparently to prepare the patient for this emergency lift out.
Ah, great care is being taken.
As you can see there are several police officers and hospital personnel at the scene waiting for the stretcher to be lowered to them.
They wait as all Hawaii waits.
We've got to get doctors to 305 and 310.
Get going.
What do you think, sarge? Military vehicles? They're bringing up heavy stuff.
They're bringing in mortars.
And if our boys are bringing us reinforcement, they'll cut them to pieces.
( explosion ) They'll cut them to pieces right out in the open field coming up that road.
( gunfire ) The arrival just now of Colonel Cardell, Marine Operations Officer at Camp Smith, seems to verify the rumor that the serviceman holding Danny Williams prisoner is a Marine, but we have no official confirmation of that.
Now, we do have some information on Danny Williams which will interest you.
He's a local boy.
He was born here and educated here.
He attended the University of Hawaii for one year, then transferred to University of California at Berkeley.
He was a psychology major, and then he switched to police science major when he moved to the mainland.
More information on Danny Williams, which will be of interest to you, is as follows.
We'll send you all the signed authorization forms later, but right now we need the information.
Colonel, this is Master Sergeant Wallace in personnel.
It took me ten minutes to get ahold of him, and now he won't release any information about that Marine to me without signed authorization forms.
Let me talk to him.
Sergeant, this is Colonel Cardell.
You give Five-0 anything they want.
Anything.
You got it.
I thought they were on our right flank, they're on our left.
This is a fine time for you to take a nap.
Well, I've got to pin them down.
I can't let them set those mortars up.
I can't.
( glass shattering ) DANNY: Auston, no.
Anybody hurt? No.
Lew.
Steve.
Brief me.
Well, you know as much about it as I do.
We don't even know if Danny's alive or dead.
What's your plan? Depends on what I can find out about Auston.
Auston's going to Washington.
The president's gonna give him a medal, so it's got to be a big one.
Anybody around here know him? Came in from Saigon with another man from his outfit.
Lance Corporal Burt Rosen.
And where's Rosen now? Where's any Marine loose on leave here? He could be anywhere.
Well, H.
P.
D.
has an all-points out for Rosen now.
Armed forces police too.
That's it.
Look, as soon as this rig is free, you and Kono get up to room 301 and 302.
That's about as close as you can get to where Danny is now.
Now, if I have to move on Auston, join in.
But wait for my move.
I want as little gunplay as possible.
You got it? Sure, boss.
You can't kill that Marine, Steve.
You heard what I said, Lew.
I want as little gunplay as possible, but I've got to get Danny out of that room.
Where's Charley Takahashi? Up there.
How soon, Charley? Maybe 45 seconds.
Forget it, you're not gonna shoot him.
This is my bag, Lew.
I'll handle it.
Charley? Where's the target? First window.
STEVE: Danny's in an aloha shirt, probably on the floor.
Auston's wearing the suntans.
CHARLEY: Got it.
Can you wing him at this distance, Charley? Wing him? That's right, wing him.
I don't want him killed.
Look, Steve, we're dealing with a moving target-- Look, can you wing him, Charley? I could sight to wing him.
I could squeeze off to wing him but I can't control the target.
All I wanna know is can you wing him? All right, I'll try.
But once the bullet leaves the gun, I can't bring it back.
Try is not good enough.
I can't risk it.
Wrap it up.
Thanks, Steve.
For nothing, Lew.
Nothing's changed.
Auston's still got the gun, Danny's still on the floor of that room, bleeding to death.
Look, Lew, nobody wants Auston dead.
Nobody wants him hurt.
And if there's any possible way I can get Danny out of that room and keep Auston alive, that's what I'll do.
A big "if" in there somewhere.
Look, when those doctors tell me that those patients are out of danger, we're going in.
And if there's only one way left, we take it.
Straight in.
( dramatic theme playing ) We'll need six men, volunteers.
I'll lead.
We'll go in behind shields.
No go, Steve.
We get them both out alive.
Lew, again.
Last time.
If there's any way, I'll get them out alive.
Right now, the only way I can see is down that corridor.
There has to be another answer.
Doc? I wish I could help, colonel.
But right now, Auston is in Vietnam, reliving some battle or fight, or skirmish he went through.
The police, McGarrett, everyone else is the Vietcong.
Why? Why? Yeah, why? Why are we VC? Why doesn't he think we're his relief company? Somebody else from his squad? Why VC? I don't know.
Kealoha to all units.
You're not fighting it.
You've got to stay in there and fight.
Fight! Okay, boys.
Now, we move in shoulder to shoulder.
I'll be in the middle, three of you on each side.
Now, don't fire unless you get a clear shot.
We don't want to kill that Marine, so keep your aim low.
Now, when we start down that corridor, Auston will probably open up.
Chin Ho and Kono are in the rooms closest to them.
They'll try to slip in on him while we're moving, and use us for distraction.
Now, if anybody is hit, we all stop.
Cover the wounded man with our shield until we can get him into a room.
Then we go again.
Okay, let's go.
CARDELL: Steve.
They found Rosen at Kawailoa.
Oh, I want to talk to him.
Yeah.
Can I talk to Rosen? Excuse me, doctor.
Sure, I got everything set up with one of our cars downstairs.
Doctor, if I need answers from you, make them yes or no, short and clear.
No technical jargon, please.
Right.
Rosen.
Corporal? ( over radio ) This is Steve McGarrett, Five-0.
We want to know if Auston was ever pinned down in a combat mission with a wounded man? Well, how is John? Is he gonna be all right? Well, he has a chance if you can tell us what you know about him.
Well, his squad was rearguard on a sweep.
The VC caught us on the flank.
Big John's squad was all wiped out.
They were holding a hill, a pivot for the company.
John was the only one who made it.
He was stuck up on that hill for 11 hours with Joe Applin, his platoon sergeant.
Sarge died on the way to the field hospital.
That's all.
Is that when Auston was wounded? That's right.
He was hit in the chest-- uh, the shoulder.
Shrapnel from mortar fire.
Who picked him up and how? Did you read that, corporal? Uh, no, say again.
Who picked Auston up and how? I don't know.
A Vietnamese company relieved the position.
They could have brought John and the sarge out.
It could have been a chopper.
A chopper? Are you sure? Well, I think it was a chopper.
The wounded guys at my end of the line got lifted out by chopper.
But I'm not sure.
Thanks, corporal.
Don't break the connection.
Here, have him stand by.
Which would be most likely, Lew? Depends on the situation.
No way to tell.
Steve, he did say chopper.
That Marine.
He told the intern to get a chopper in to take them out.
Can you get a chopper here? This is Kealoha.
Have traffic control send our helicopter over here right away.
Will it work, doctor, if we play it out with him? Treat this as if we're in a combat zone coming to get him out? There's no guarantee that he'll accept it.
Well, I've got to take the odds.
Get me a corpsman's uniform, Tuck.
It's the only way of getting him out without shooting.
Now, what can I knock him out with when I get in? I'll get you something.
What's the routine, Lew? When a chopper comes in to pick up wounded? Well, it gets in as close as it can.
If there's no corpsman they drop one in.
He treats the wounded while a chopper either lowers a stretcher or sets close by, it depends on the terrain.
Okay, let's go.
Get ahold of Kono and Chin Ho by phone.
They're in 301, 302.
When the chopper lifts me off, get 'em to start calling corpsman.
Not medic, corpsman.
Get some of the other men to join in too.
If that doesn't work, take your men straight down the corridor.
When do we know if it works? Auston will join in.
He's got a man in need of medical assistance.
He buys it, he'll sound off.
( helicopter whirring ) That sound.
They're moving the mortars up again.
I'll slip out there and open up with this.
And back them off again.
Auston, no.
No.
Well, there's no other way.
You can't leave me like this.
I'll bleed to death.
If you go out there and you get hit, I haven't got a chance.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
I can't leave you like this.
I I have to stay here with you and we'll fight 'em together.
You and me.
( pants ) We got to.
I'll let your men know as soon as you lift off.
There are two identical hypodermics there.
Now, once you get in the room it's important that you keep up the ruse.
Now, behave just like a corpsman in the field does.
Fake a shot to Williams if you have to.
And shoot the medication into his sleeve.
Then turn to Auston, tell him to roll up his sleeve and give him the shot.
Now, don't take any excuses.
Insist.
You have to sell him on the idea that he's wounded too.
Thank you, gentlemen.
Thank you.
This is Cardell, lieutenant.
All set up here.
Stand by, colonel.
( engine starts ) The chopper's lifting off.
All right, Chin Ho, count three and then start.
The others will take their cue from you.
You keep it up until I ring you on this phone.
Operator, are you still there? All right, stay on this line.
CHIN: Corpsman, here.
Over here.
KONO: Corpsman, over here.
BOTH: Corpsman.
KONO: Over here.
BOTH: Corpsman.
Corpsman.
( gunfire ) Over here, corpsman.
Over here, corpsman.
Corpsman.
KONO: Over here.
CHIN: Over here, come on.
CHIN: Corpsman, over here.
Corpsman.
They're here.
Over here.
They couldn't be here.
They're here.
Corpsman.
( shouting ) Corpsman.
Corpsman! Corpsman! ( explosions ) Over here.
Keep your shirt on, we're coming.
We've got a dying man over here.
We're coming.
Then move it! Over here.
Corpsman.
I'm coming.
How's Applin? ( suspenseful theme playing ) All right, put down that gun, roll up your sleeve, corporal.
Just get him better.
Fix him.
There's nothing we can do from here.
Now, roll up your sleeve.
You're supposed to give him blood plasma.
Fix him.
We'll give it to him back at the aid station.
You're supposed to give him blood plasma.
You're hit pretty bad yourself.
Hit? Shrapnel in your shoulder.
STEVE: You'd better let me give you this shot.
No, he needs it more than I do.
Give him the plasma or he'll die.
He's already dead, Mac.
( ominous theme playing ) Now, you let me give you this shot before you join him.
No.
No! No! I gave him my word that I'd get him out alive.
And then he went and died on me.
You didn't even fight.
( yelling ) You ran.
Because you didn't wanna owe this black man nothing.
He didn't even give me the chance to hear him say John or call me nigger.
( dramatic theme playing ) Give me that gun.
Put down the gun.
Let me give you this shot.
Come on.
( groans ) He ran out on the living.
Like a thief.
Easy.
Easy.
Easy.
You know, old buddy, up there on that hill I couldn't even think of praying or anything else.
Just hang on.
Hang on to that lousy hill.
And we did it.
Me and my sergeant.
We held it, and we held it, and we held it, and we held it and we held it Corpsman! ( ominous theme playing ) How is he? He'll make it.
( dramatic theme playing ) ( upbeat surf theme playing )
Deep coma, doctor.
I don't know what-- Well, let's take a look.
What happened? Got hit with a baseball bat.
Somebody jump him or what? No, no.
I'm with Five-0 and we sponsor a kids' baseball team.
I had the boys out for a practice session, he wandered up and asked if he could help.
I said sure.
Well, he was doing great.
Was having a ball.
Anyway, this kid took a bat, took a homerun-size swing.
Bat slipped out of his hand and hit him right there.
Went down like he was shot.
You think he'll be okay? Too soon to tell.
Take him up to Emergency Treatment.
( ominous theme playing ) ATTENDANT: All set.
Go.
Easy.
Light, please.
Who is he, Danny? Marine on leave from Vietnam.
I checked his ID on the way in.
Name's Auston, John T.
Spelled A-U-S-T-O-N.
Lance corporal, United States Marine Corps.
You got his serial number? Yeah, 52-311-712.
What about his outfit? I don't know.
His orders put him in Honolulu on leave from Saigon.
Had to report to the Marine headquarters in Washington.
( explosions ) ( dramatic theme playing ) Hey! ( gunshots ) ( gunshot ) Take cover! Someone get a chopper for the wounded.
We've got to hold this hill.
We've got to wait right here and hold.
( upbeat surf theme playing ) ( action theme playing ) Mr.
McGarrett, Worldwide News.
Word has it a guy went berserk, shot one of your Five-0 men, is that true? That's what they tell me.
How bad is he hurt? No comment now, thank you.
Who is it? Third floor, Steve.
Thanks, Tuck.
Is Danny still alive? I don't know.
Where are they? Around the corner.
LEE: They're behind that table, see? Yeah.
Who else is in there with him? Only Danny and the Marine.
The others got out.
Okay.
STEVE: Danny.
Danno, are you all right? Are you all right, Danno? Danno, can you hear me? Danno, answer me.
Steve? Steve? ( explosions ) Don't answer them, sarge.
It's a Vietcong trick.
At least he's still alive.
Yeah, for how long? Why haven't you gone down there and get him? In the face of that gun? It would just be suicide.
Any other way of getting in there beside that corridor? I don't know.
We're waiting for a floor plan now.
Cover me.
Now, wait a minute, Steve.
Now, Steve, you just can't do-- Get out of the way.
( dramatic theme playing ) Get back here, do you see-- I said leave me alone.
WOMAN ( over loudspeaker ): Calling McGarrett.
Calling Steve McGarrett.
Please report to Dr.
Cutter.
You were there, you're a doctor.
Now, how bad is he hurt? I didn't have a chance to examine him.
That Marine told me to get out.
Well, couldn't you tell anything by looking at him? Was he conscious, could he-- could he move, talk, what? I couldn't tell, the Marine was in between us with the gun.
The police officer was shot in the leg, bleeding badly.
I at least managed to get him out.
Where was Danny shot? In the abdomen, I think.
You think? Easy, Steve.
He saved one man.
Man's right, boss.
Won't help Danny any blowing your cool.
How long has Danny been in there now? About 17 minutes.
What's that leave us, doctor? I don't understand what you mean, Mr.
McGarrett.
How long does it take a man to bleed to death? ( panting ) They gave up for a little while.
You can relax, sarge.
Auston, that gun It's a good thing I grabbed it.
Gives us a fighting chance to defend this hill.
Look, Auston, we're not on a hill, see? We're-- Easy.
Easy, sarge.
I'll take a look around the terrain.
Auston, we're not on a hill.
We're in a hospital.
The ball game, don't you remember? You got hit with a bat.
Sure, sarge, sure.
Anything you say.
Now, you lay there and be quiet and I'll hold these VC's off, and we'll get that first aid to you.
LEE: I said you can't go in there.
Get out of my way.
I'm going in.
I said I'm going in.
Steve, nobody goes down that corridor.
Don't tell me that.
That corridor is an intensive care unit.
There are patients in those rooms in critical condition.
And Danny Williams is down there with a bullet in his gut.
How many deaths are you willing to accept responsibility for? What does that mean, doctor? Gunfire can induce shock.
Shock can kill anyone.
Or possibly all of the patients in that intensive care section.
People just out of major surgery, cardiac patients.
Do you want to kill them? Their deaths would be on your hands.
All right.
All right.
Get some tear gas here.
We'll lob it in there and take him.
Steve, maybe you didn't understand-- I understand that Danny is in there and he's dying.
Settle down, Steve.
Cool off.
Get some tear gas.
If that's supposed to help, Danny, it won't.
It'll get him out of that room.
You fill that room with tear gas, you'll induce a coughing spasm in Danny.
You start him coughing with a stomach wound, and you'll decrease his chances of surviving by 90 percent.
What about other patients in here? Do you care about them? Don't give me that line, doctor.
I care and I care deeply.
But first things first.
Go downstairs to the nursery, and tell that to the newborn babies when the tear gas comes in through the ventilation system or the operating room.
All right.
No tear gas.
And no gunshots.
Look, how am I gonna take that Marine without shooting? How do I stop him from pulling the trigger on his gun? I wish I could answer that question, Steve.
All I know is I can't jeopardize the lives of the patients on this floor.
All right, how many are there? What are their exact conditions? Are there other people in those rooms with them? Can we get word to those people? Facts, doc, the facts.
I need the facts.
Take it easy, Steve.
Those people out there, they're doctors, nurses.
They're not Vietcong.
A man get hit with a bullet, it does funny things.
Now, we'll get you to that hospital.
But you just lay there and be quiet.
And we'll get you to that hospital that you've been dreaming about.
Right now, I've got this hill to worry about.
Forty rounds.
Ought to be enough to hold off until command gets off their fat duff.
( panting ) And they will too.
It's command that wants this hill.
They'll reinforce us.
Just be cool.
Everything's under control.
( suspenseful theme playing ) ( laughing ) Fifty rounds.
With this 50 rounds I could defend the city of Saigon against half of the Vietcong army.
Maybe I oughtta take another look around.
See what's--what's going on.
( dramatic theme playing ) And as Danny started toward him, Auston fired and Danny went down.
Auston didn't say anything? Nothing.
I don't remember what happened next.
I don't remember getting hit, hitting the floor, none of it.
This is Dr.
Shirmer, Psychiatric Service.
Doctor, what happened next with you? Well, he shot the officer and then he yelled out: "Dig in, take cover.
We've got to hold--hold" Something like that.
Yeah, then what? Then he took the officer's gun belt.
Wait a minute.
How many, uh, how many rounds do you carry? Thirty-eight to 40.
God I'm sorry, go ahead.
He was thinking about something.
You could see it in his face.
His mind was working.
Well, then he told me to get to an aid station, and get help to him right away.
He said the sergeant would bleed to death if I didn't get help to him right away.
He said the sergeant? Yeah, and he pointed at Williams.
Then he pushed the table over, and dragged Williams around behind it.
I managed to get out while he was doing that, and pull the officer out with me.
Does all this mean something to you, doctor? It's possible that blow to the head caused an acute psychotic breakdown.
That Marine could be reliving a traumatic war experience.
You mean, he thinks he's back in Vietnam? He doesn't think he is, he is back in Vietnam.
That's his reality, and it's just as real to him now as this room is to you.
Well, how could he shoot Danny and then try to protect him? Why did he send Cutter for help? I suspect that he believes that the police officer that he shot was Vietcong.
And Williams is, uh, a buddy of his, another Marine.
You still haven't answered my question.
There's no logic.
It's like a short circuit in a computer.
Is this, uh, permanent with Auston? It could last five minutes, an hour, a year.
There's no way to tell.
So we're in a war, huh? ( ominous theme playing ) ( explosions ) ( dramatic theme playing ) I guess they're laying back.
Trying to sucker us out in the open.
( explosion ) This is Jack Francis at the hospital.
We now have our first official statement on the situation here.
It states simply that a serviceman, suffering from a head injury, has barricaded himself in an examining room on the third floor of the southeast wing, that he does have a weapon, and that to this time two men have been shot.
One of them, Peter Miller of the H.
P.
D.
is safely out of the room, and the second victim is Danny Williams.
The, uh, hospital spokesmen refuse any further comment regarding Williams, a member of Five-0, our state police unit.
But rumor here at the hospital has it that Williams is still in the room with his assailant, and is seriously wounded.
You'd never make it in the shape you're in.
Even if the VC's let you through.
We've gotta hold.
We gotta wait right here and hold.
I thought we might be able to get somebody through the ventilation ducts.
Too small.
Well, what about the window? Get to it with a fire ladder? Anybody showing his head in that window could get it blown off.
The only way is down that corridor.
Has Hanson gotten back yet? I'll check on him.
I don't know what we're gonna do about that Marine but we'd better have some brass here just in case.
Kono, get Colonel Cardell over here right away.
Chin, get Marine headquarters on the phone.
See what you can dig up on Auston.
See if he came back from Saigon with any of his buddies.
Find out what battles he was in, what engagements he fought, everything.
George, is Charley Takahashi on duty today? No, but I know where we can reach him.
Get him here right away.
I can have him here in about five minutes.
Faster.
Operator, this is Lieutenant Kealoha.
Get me a police dispatch immediately.
Steve.
I sent Dr.
Shirmer up here.
I saw him.
Have you got the rundown on those patients? Things are more complicated than I thought.
How? We're already in a sling with complications.
There's a girl in 309.
She needs a technician to operate a kidney machine within 15 minutes.
All right, we need 15 minutes for the girl.
What about the others? Two of them are cardiac cases.
The patient in 306 has his daughter with him, the others are alone.
We have a chance to save them if they don't go into shock.
Steve, we just can't risk gunshots.
Look, doctor, there's already been shooting.
If that hasn't thrown them into shock, what will? We don't know if it hasn't.
Those patients are alone in their rooms, except for the daughter in room 306.
But even if we've been lucky, if we start to move in on Auston there won't be one shot but a dozen or more.
There'll be war in that corridor.
Doctor, if we could get you to them, could you sedate them? Could you prepare them medically so they wouldn't go into shock? There are ways, yes, if we could get to them.
I'll get you to them.
Abe, call the lieutenant.
Danno.
Danno, can you hear me? I hear you.
Thank God he's alive.
Don't give us away.
STEVE: Auston? Corporal John Auston, can you hear me? Do you hear that? Well, you've got to give them their due.
I mean, they have to be pretty sharp to find out my name.
( panting ) Auston, let 'em come in.
You're putting me on.
Let 'em come in.
You're still bucking on the long shot, aren't you, sarge? You're hoping to crawl out of here and go back to the old man, and tell him that I-- that I ran out on my assignment, and I let the VC's walk right in.
Is that your bag, is it? Auston, listen to me.
Listen.
We're not in Vietnam, we're in a hospital and we both need help.
Yes, we need help.
You need help badly.
You think you're gonna get it from them? No.
You know better.
You're still trying to hang something on me.
Isn't that right? Isn't it, sarge? You're something else, sarge.
Well, so am I.
Well, I'm not gonna do it.
I'm gonna stay right here and see that you live.
One way or another I'm gonna see that you live.
STEVE ( shouting ): Auston.
Corporal Auston, can you hear me? Yeah, I'm gonna see that you live.
And how are you gonna live with that? How are you gonna live with the fact that your life was saved by a Corporal John T.
Auston? It's gonna drive you straight up the wall.
And I hope it turns you around.
One way or another, I'll settle for either one.
I need help.
It'll be here.
The help will be here.
You have to believe that the same way I do.
If it doesn't, I'll die with you.
And I hope you don't find any comfort in that because I can't find any.
Why not let 'em come in? No way, not them.
Our boys will be here.
Just hang tough.
What's happening, Steve? Nothing.
And nothing will until we do something about those patients.
You said you could take us to them.
All right, get a mobile crane here right away.
Try the electric and telephone companies.
Need one with an extension arm and a platform.
Then we'll be able to lift the doctors in from the outside.
Maybe we ought to get that girl in 309 out first.
Use a basket stretcher, she needs emergency treatment right away.
And don't waste any time.
As soon as we get rid of those patients we're going in after Danny.
Right.
They sound too close.
I'm going-- I'm gonna throw a few more rounds of ammo at them.
Don't.
Don't--do-- Don't waste that ammo.
Well, that sounds more like you, sarge.
Colonel Cardell says not to shoot that Marine.
He's on his way over.
You really shook him up, boss.
When he gets here bring him right to me.
What did Chin Ho find out about Auston? He's still talking.
You want me to go check? You got anything better to do? I could volunteer and try to rush the guy.
No, no volunteers.
( woman screams ) WOMAN: My father needs help! Get back.
Help, please.
( army drum theme playing ) ( gunshot ) ( screams ) ( gunshot ) ( dramatic theme playing ) ( woman continues screaming ) I hate you.
Why don't you help me? Stop it! He's dying! Stop it.
Get on that phone.
Call the desk, they'll send help.
( sobbing ) ( dramatic theme playing ) For God's sake, will you get on the phone and call the desk? They'll send help.
Your father's still alive.
Hello.
Hello.
Third floor, Mrs.
Rizzo.
This-- This is Ms.
Karabinos.
My father is dying.
Room 306.
Tell them to call Dr.
Hanson.
Tell Dr.
Hanson.
Oh, please, tell him.
You shouldn't have done that.
Grabbed me like that, sarge.
I know you're trying to help me but let me handle it.
No telling what they're liable to do now that they've got us spotted.
I know, it's It's no good.
You wanna smoke? Auston, you gotta get some help.
Sarge, I'd go from here to hell to get help, but I can't.
Sure you can, Auston.
Look You leave me that gun, see.
Some ammo.
I'll cover for you.
No dice.
That way neither one of us will get through.
No, we're gonna wait right here until the boys get here.
Now, you--you gotta wanna live to live.
So fight.
Hang on.
They'll get here.
We have another camera set up over there to cover what we assume to be some sort of rescue operation going on.
You hang on with the kidney apparatus.
I'll check the man in 306, and you men, keep your cool.
Remember this is a hospital.
Check? MAN: Got it.
All right.
Off we go, third floor.
And I see that someone is being lifted up the side of the hospital wing there by the mobile crane.
Yes, it's Dr.
--Dr.
Hanson.
Dr.
William Hanson, acting chief of staff here at the hospital.
( crane whirring ) Do you hear that? What's that sound like to you? I can't hear anything.
We have no new official reports yet, but rumors continue to flow here.
The hospital grapevine is considered to be reliable.
And at this moment the rumor has it that an attempt is being made to, uh, to remove a patient who is in need of immediate attention.
Now, there are reporters here on Oahu who in the past have taken stands against Steve McGarrett, head of Five-0, our state police unit.
But those voices are silent this afternoon.
( dramatic theme playing ) You keep doing that.
Hold it right there.
We got it started again.
I'll go down.
Oh, what about the girl? They should be taking her out now.
Thank you.
( army drum theme playing ) It sounds like wheels turning.
They've got to be military vehicles.
We continue to, uh, cover the rescue operations here at the hospital.
Here's what's happened up to now.
Two physicians have entered the room.
They were elevated to the window by the mobile crane, apparently to prepare the patient for this emergency lift out.
Ah, great care is being taken.
As you can see there are several police officers and hospital personnel at the scene waiting for the stretcher to be lowered to them.
They wait as all Hawaii waits.
We've got to get doctors to 305 and 310.
Get going.
What do you think, sarge? Military vehicles? They're bringing up heavy stuff.
They're bringing in mortars.
And if our boys are bringing us reinforcement, they'll cut them to pieces.
( explosion ) They'll cut them to pieces right out in the open field coming up that road.
( gunfire ) The arrival just now of Colonel Cardell, Marine Operations Officer at Camp Smith, seems to verify the rumor that the serviceman holding Danny Williams prisoner is a Marine, but we have no official confirmation of that.
Now, we do have some information on Danny Williams which will interest you.
He's a local boy.
He was born here and educated here.
He attended the University of Hawaii for one year, then transferred to University of California at Berkeley.
He was a psychology major, and then he switched to police science major when he moved to the mainland.
More information on Danny Williams, which will be of interest to you, is as follows.
We'll send you all the signed authorization forms later, but right now we need the information.
Colonel, this is Master Sergeant Wallace in personnel.
It took me ten minutes to get ahold of him, and now he won't release any information about that Marine to me without signed authorization forms.
Let me talk to him.
Sergeant, this is Colonel Cardell.
You give Five-0 anything they want.
Anything.
You got it.
I thought they were on our right flank, they're on our left.
This is a fine time for you to take a nap.
Well, I've got to pin them down.
I can't let them set those mortars up.
I can't.
( glass shattering ) DANNY: Auston, no.
Anybody hurt? No.
Lew.
Steve.
Brief me.
Well, you know as much about it as I do.
We don't even know if Danny's alive or dead.
What's your plan? Depends on what I can find out about Auston.
Auston's going to Washington.
The president's gonna give him a medal, so it's got to be a big one.
Anybody around here know him? Came in from Saigon with another man from his outfit.
Lance Corporal Burt Rosen.
And where's Rosen now? Where's any Marine loose on leave here? He could be anywhere.
Well, H.
P.
D.
has an all-points out for Rosen now.
Armed forces police too.
That's it.
Look, as soon as this rig is free, you and Kono get up to room 301 and 302.
That's about as close as you can get to where Danny is now.
Now, if I have to move on Auston, join in.
But wait for my move.
I want as little gunplay as possible.
You got it? Sure, boss.
You can't kill that Marine, Steve.
You heard what I said, Lew.
I want as little gunplay as possible, but I've got to get Danny out of that room.
Where's Charley Takahashi? Up there.
How soon, Charley? Maybe 45 seconds.
Forget it, you're not gonna shoot him.
This is my bag, Lew.
I'll handle it.
Charley? Where's the target? First window.
STEVE: Danny's in an aloha shirt, probably on the floor.
Auston's wearing the suntans.
CHARLEY: Got it.
Can you wing him at this distance, Charley? Wing him? That's right, wing him.
I don't want him killed.
Look, Steve, we're dealing with a moving target-- Look, can you wing him, Charley? I could sight to wing him.
I could squeeze off to wing him but I can't control the target.
All I wanna know is can you wing him? All right, I'll try.
But once the bullet leaves the gun, I can't bring it back.
Try is not good enough.
I can't risk it.
Wrap it up.
Thanks, Steve.
For nothing, Lew.
Nothing's changed.
Auston's still got the gun, Danny's still on the floor of that room, bleeding to death.
Look, Lew, nobody wants Auston dead.
Nobody wants him hurt.
And if there's any possible way I can get Danny out of that room and keep Auston alive, that's what I'll do.
A big "if" in there somewhere.
Look, when those doctors tell me that those patients are out of danger, we're going in.
And if there's only one way left, we take it.
Straight in.
( dramatic theme playing ) We'll need six men, volunteers.
I'll lead.
We'll go in behind shields.
No go, Steve.
We get them both out alive.
Lew, again.
Last time.
If there's any way, I'll get them out alive.
Right now, the only way I can see is down that corridor.
There has to be another answer.
Doc? I wish I could help, colonel.
But right now, Auston is in Vietnam, reliving some battle or fight, or skirmish he went through.
The police, McGarrett, everyone else is the Vietcong.
Why? Why? Yeah, why? Why are we VC? Why doesn't he think we're his relief company? Somebody else from his squad? Why VC? I don't know.
Kealoha to all units.
You're not fighting it.
You've got to stay in there and fight.
Fight! Okay, boys.
Now, we move in shoulder to shoulder.
I'll be in the middle, three of you on each side.
Now, don't fire unless you get a clear shot.
We don't want to kill that Marine, so keep your aim low.
Now, when we start down that corridor, Auston will probably open up.
Chin Ho and Kono are in the rooms closest to them.
They'll try to slip in on him while we're moving, and use us for distraction.
Now, if anybody is hit, we all stop.
Cover the wounded man with our shield until we can get him into a room.
Then we go again.
Okay, let's go.
CARDELL: Steve.
They found Rosen at Kawailoa.
Oh, I want to talk to him.
Yeah.
Can I talk to Rosen? Excuse me, doctor.
Sure, I got everything set up with one of our cars downstairs.
Doctor, if I need answers from you, make them yes or no, short and clear.
No technical jargon, please.
Right.
Rosen.
Corporal? ( over radio ) This is Steve McGarrett, Five-0.
We want to know if Auston was ever pinned down in a combat mission with a wounded man? Well, how is John? Is he gonna be all right? Well, he has a chance if you can tell us what you know about him.
Well, his squad was rearguard on a sweep.
The VC caught us on the flank.
Big John's squad was all wiped out.
They were holding a hill, a pivot for the company.
John was the only one who made it.
He was stuck up on that hill for 11 hours with Joe Applin, his platoon sergeant.
Sarge died on the way to the field hospital.
That's all.
Is that when Auston was wounded? That's right.
He was hit in the chest-- uh, the shoulder.
Shrapnel from mortar fire.
Who picked him up and how? Did you read that, corporal? Uh, no, say again.
Who picked Auston up and how? I don't know.
A Vietnamese company relieved the position.
They could have brought John and the sarge out.
It could have been a chopper.
A chopper? Are you sure? Well, I think it was a chopper.
The wounded guys at my end of the line got lifted out by chopper.
But I'm not sure.
Thanks, corporal.
Don't break the connection.
Here, have him stand by.
Which would be most likely, Lew? Depends on the situation.
No way to tell.
Steve, he did say chopper.
That Marine.
He told the intern to get a chopper in to take them out.
Can you get a chopper here? This is Kealoha.
Have traffic control send our helicopter over here right away.
Will it work, doctor, if we play it out with him? Treat this as if we're in a combat zone coming to get him out? There's no guarantee that he'll accept it.
Well, I've got to take the odds.
Get me a corpsman's uniform, Tuck.
It's the only way of getting him out without shooting.
Now, what can I knock him out with when I get in? I'll get you something.
What's the routine, Lew? When a chopper comes in to pick up wounded? Well, it gets in as close as it can.
If there's no corpsman they drop one in.
He treats the wounded while a chopper either lowers a stretcher or sets close by, it depends on the terrain.
Okay, let's go.
Get ahold of Kono and Chin Ho by phone.
They're in 301, 302.
When the chopper lifts me off, get 'em to start calling corpsman.
Not medic, corpsman.
Get some of the other men to join in too.
If that doesn't work, take your men straight down the corridor.
When do we know if it works? Auston will join in.
He's got a man in need of medical assistance.
He buys it, he'll sound off.
( helicopter whirring ) That sound.
They're moving the mortars up again.
I'll slip out there and open up with this.
And back them off again.
Auston, no.
No.
Well, there's no other way.
You can't leave me like this.
I'll bleed to death.
If you go out there and you get hit, I haven't got a chance.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
I can't leave you like this.
I I have to stay here with you and we'll fight 'em together.
You and me.
( pants ) We got to.
I'll let your men know as soon as you lift off.
There are two identical hypodermics there.
Now, once you get in the room it's important that you keep up the ruse.
Now, behave just like a corpsman in the field does.
Fake a shot to Williams if you have to.
And shoot the medication into his sleeve.
Then turn to Auston, tell him to roll up his sleeve and give him the shot.
Now, don't take any excuses.
Insist.
You have to sell him on the idea that he's wounded too.
Thank you, gentlemen.
Thank you.
This is Cardell, lieutenant.
All set up here.
Stand by, colonel.
( engine starts ) The chopper's lifting off.
All right, Chin Ho, count three and then start.
The others will take their cue from you.
You keep it up until I ring you on this phone.
Operator, are you still there? All right, stay on this line.
CHIN: Corpsman, here.
Over here.

Corpsman.
They're here.
Over here.
They couldn't be here.
They're here.
Corpsman.
( shouting ) Corpsman.
Corpsman! Corpsman! ( explosions ) Over here.
Keep your shirt on, we're coming.
We've got a dying man over here.
We're coming.
Then move it! Over here.
Corpsman.
I'm coming.
How's Applin? ( suspenseful theme playing ) All right, put down that gun, roll up your sleeve, corporal.
Just get him better.
Fix him.
There's nothing we can do from here.
Now, roll up your sleeve.
You're supposed to give him blood plasma.
Fix him.
We'll give it to him back at the aid station.
You're supposed to give him blood plasma.
You're hit pretty bad yourself.
Hit? Shrapnel in your shoulder.
STEVE: You'd better let me give you this shot.
No, he needs it more than I do.
Give him the plasma or he'll die.
He's already dead, Mac.
( ominous theme playing ) Now, you let me give you this shot before you join him.
No.
No! No! I gave him my word that I'd get him out alive.
And then he went and died on me.
You didn't even fight.
( yelling ) You ran.
Because you didn't wanna owe this black man nothing.
He didn't even give me the chance to hear him say John or call me nigger.
( dramatic theme playing ) Give me that gun.
Put down the gun.
Let me give you this shot.
Come on.
( groans ) He ran out on the living.
Like a thief.
Easy.
Easy.
Easy.
You know, old buddy, up there on that hill I couldn't even think of praying or anything else.
Just hang on.
Hang on to that lousy hill.
And we did it.
Me and my sergeant.
We held it, and we held it, and we held it, and we held it and we held it Corpsman! ( ominous theme playing ) How is he? He'll make it.
