1:03:00
You haven't forgotten and
you're ashamed. That's really noble of you.
1:03:05
I suppose four years from now,
you'll be sitting here...
1:03:07
telling people
you haven't forgotten me, either.
1:03:10
That's real progress.
1:03:12
In the meantime, I'll be as dead as a...
1:03:15
Why don't you tell me what happened?
1:03:20
What happened?
1:03:23
Why did you come here, Mr. Macreedy?
1:03:28
Did Komako have any other family
besides his son, Joe?
1:03:32
Son? Nobody around here
ever knew he had a son.
1:03:35
Yes, he had a son. He's dead, too.
He's buried in Italy.
1:03:39
I asked you before:
Why did you come here?
1:03:43
Why, this Komako boy died
trying to save my life.
1:03:48
They gave him a medal.
1:03:50
I came here to give it to his old man.
1:03:52
I figured the least I could do
was give him one day out of my life.
1:03:56
Well, are you gonna tell him
or have I got to?
1:04:00
I'll tell him.
1:04:02
Smith owned Adobe Flat.
He leased it to Komako.
1:04:06
He figured he cheated him because
you gotta have water to raise anything.
1:04:10
There never was any water on Adobe Flat.
1:04:14
Komako dug a well.
He must have gone down 60 feet.
1:04:19
He got plenty of water.
That made Smith pretty sore.
1:04:23
He didn't like Japs anyway.
1:04:28
The day after Pearl Harbor,
Smith went to Sand City.
1:04:32
Yeah, he got turned down. Tried to enlist.
1:04:36
When he got back, he was pretty sore.
1:04:39
Around 10:00, we all started drinking.
1:04:42
10:00 in the morning?
1:04:45
Smith, Coley, Sam, Hector, and me.
1:04:50
We were all drunk.
1:04:53
Patriotic drunk.
1:04:55
We wanted to go out to scare
the Jap a little and have a little fun.
1:04:58
When we got there,
he heard us coming and locked the door.
