:16:05
You've done well as a marine, Corporal.
:16:08
Better than you did as a civilian.
:16:11
Stole a motorbike, crashed it.
Got kicked out of high school.

:16:15
Assault and battery...
on one Father Crispin O'Donnell?

:16:22
A priest?
:16:24
Assistant principal at Archbishop Keenan
High School, sir, and head disciplinarian.

:16:30
Public-school boy myself.
:16:34
Some minor problems in boot.
:16:37
A commendation for valor in Shanghai.
:16:40
And you made a hell of a stand
on the Solomons.

:16:43
Tough bit of business there, huh?
:16:46
Pretty tough, sir.
:16:49
But you're prepared
to jump right back into it?

:16:51
Yes, sir. Very much so.
:16:54
Very much so.
:16:58
Well...
:17:01
The Japs have pretty much busted
every code we've thrown at 'em, Corporal.

:17:06
You men on the Solomons
were lost to a broken code.

:17:09
Tell me something. You ever
run into any Indians on the Solomons?

:17:14
- Indians, sir?
- Navajo, to be exact.

:17:18
The Corps has developed a new code
based on their language.

:17:22
It's had quite an impact.
:17:24
So much so the navy have decided
to go to great lengths to protect it.

:17:28
That's why you're here.
:17:31
You're to pair with one of them,
keep his ass safe.

:17:34
Your job is to keep him alive
so he can do his job.

:17:38
Begging the major's pardon, but I believe
I'd best serve the Corps killing Japs,

:17:42
not baby-sitting some Indian.
:17:44
Enders, we didn't pick
your name out of a hat.

:17:48
We need good marines.
:17:50
That's why you're standing here.
:17:53
Take a look.
:17:55
It's a Navajo. Or it was.
:17:58
Tortured to death by Japanese
intelligence trying to bust our code.
