stationed aboard the uss pronto, on his way to do battle in korea. the forgotten war. disappeared during liberty. he was supposed to be back on th pronto morning of september he never showed. jeffries: i think we know why. rush: the kid was only 17 years old. got into some kind of trouble. jeffries: on liberty, that's no surprise. drinking, shenanigans. the last hoorah. trying to get in as much living as possible. pretty high casualty rate in korea. maybe he gets cold feet? ah, not likely. marines aren't drafted. they enlist or volunteer. docks have always been a dangerous place. he gets separated from his fellow marines, and runs into some local riffraff? the guys in his platoon might know something. yeah, if we can track them down. well, brother steve tully's on his way to philly to claim the remains-- a decorated marine in vietnam himself. the father served in world war ii. whole family of military men.

must have been a real disgrace-- tully accused of being a deserter. the family never believed it. sent the naval board of corrections countless letters refuting the unauthorized absence charge. to no avail. trying to reverse a charge like that with the military bureaucracy is like getting battleship to reverse course-- slow and unlikely to happe it's our it's our job to see this marine gets his honor back. hey, what the...? that's for aiding and abetting in a decapitation of my best tie last week. what makes you think i had anything to do with that... incident? oh, don't worry. your little partner in crime, la bamba... he's gonna get his, too. what up, fellas? you tell me, scotty.

my father went to his grave wondering if jimmy was a coward. he fought the desertion ruling. he must have known differe in his heart. (sighs) said it wasn't in jimmy's dna to desert. but he still wanted thflag to prove it. my brother never backed down from a fight in his life. rush: wondering if you can tell us anything about jimmy... might help us with our investigation. oh, yeah-- brought this postcard he sent us. it's the last time we heard from him. "our sergeant granted us a liberty pass. "me and a couple guys from the platoon are gonna hit the town." you know who his friends were? no, i was just a kid when he left for boot camp. gave me his baseball glove. told me to keep it oiled for him. promised to teach me his curve ball when he got back. card's postmarked the day he disappeared.

just tnking it would bring him back. what about his pocket watch? didn't they find it with his, you know... pocket watch? no. oh, it definitely would have been on him. he treasured that watch. robbery gone bad? my father told him it was his duty to bring the watch back safe and pass it on to his own son someday. never even made it out of philly. sergeant chaney, they said we could find you here. i volunteer twice a week and school some of these men in checkers, just to let them know that their sacrifice still means something. wondering what you remember about private first class jimmy tully. one of nine guys that went to korea came back in a body bag, and you're asking me

about a coward that went awol? his body turned up yesterday. we think he got killed on shore leave. anyone in his platoon have a problem with him? whoa. if tully was killed, it wasn't by another marine. any idea which of his friends might have hit philly with? yeah, there was a guy named max, um... max heid... heidhorn... heidhorn, yeah. he was a real clown. we'll look into it. hey, detectives... if a guy doesn't come back to the ship, i have no other choice but to declare him a deserter. max heidhorn? detectives rush, miller. thanks for coming in. a fan of the ponies? i like to lay a few bets here and there, keep things interesting. you got a system? yeah. it's called "win some, lose some." but you didn't ask me down here to pick up tips on the sport of kings. understand you and jimmy tully were friends. sure were. we survived boot camp together.

were you with him on shore leave? me and about 500 other marines and sailors. when's the last time you saw him? (sighs) that'd be hard to forget.

"mean gene" karnow-- tully gave that bastard a really good pasting at a smoker right before we got our liberty passes.

fight over what? boxing match over bragging rights. tully always took that semper fi, "always faithful" business seriously. me, on the other hand... karnow the type to hold a grudge? well, first off, he was a swabbie. no love lost between marines and sailors. vera: gene karnow? take it easy there, dragnet. you guys looking for lessons? we're here about jimmy tully. what's he want, a rematch? he's dead. jeffries: killed on shore leave the night he knocked you out. how'd that happen? we were just about to ask you the same question. you think i killed him because he got over a few lucky punches? so no hard feelings between you and tully? hell, that match with tully and me on board ship, that was my last fight. boiler blew up on the way to korea,

huh? you remind me of my kid brother, i guess. memphis? it's the only place i could think of. if you run now, you'll never stop running. i don't know, tully. i'm gonna find max, i'm gonna make this right. so you can either get on that bus, or you can go back to the ship, you can look sergeant chaney in the eyes, and you can tell him the truth. the choice is yours. hardes hardest thing i ever did, not getting on that bus. shore patrol was waiting, threw me right in the brig. look, when'd you hear tully went awol? halfway to korea-- one of the guards told me. it didn't make a lot of sense, though. do you know if tully found max that night? i don't know. but if tully gave you his word on something,

karnow: this supposed to mean something? vera: well, the date's of interest, especially seeing as how tully's body was found in an oil drum. right, the marine. you remember this order? yeah, i come back from, uh, shore leave, and there's, uh, a marine sergeant screaming at me to get rid of thewaste oil drum. i tell him i don't take orders from a jarhead. navy ship, navy engine room. you refused to dump those drums? yeah, and in about ten minutes, my chief comes down and chews me out, so i go ahead and get rid of 'em. this marine sergeant-- his name by any chance chaney? yeah, that's him. thought he was all hard, but then we get out to rough seas, he's out back puking his guts out over the rail. chaney. took a look at your medical and service record books, sergeant chaney. spent most of your second tour in the field hospital. signifant battle fatigue? you ask me down here to question my service record?

you're way out of your depth, son. something must've been eating at you real bad, 'cause you never saw any actn during your second tour. you want to ask me something about tully, ask it, but i will not sit here and have you question my service to this country. this interview is over. you want, we can cuff you to that chair. i had an officer like you-- a ball-busting son of a bitch. i hated that bastard... but when it was said and done, he just wanted what was best for his men. he had a code. best ones do. is that why you were trying to wash out pfc snow? what the hell does this have to do with snow? answer the question! snow didn't belong in the marines! and it was your job to sort men like him. snow was going to fill up his boots the very minute he saw those chinamen coming at us in waves. with all due respect, sir, you were wrong about snow, dead wrong. he was 15 years old. he wanted to be a marine so bad he lied abou

you buried him behind a desk, and he still made it to the front line. awarded the bronze star and navy cross. that's a lot of bull. snow did no such thing. account of private first class lenny snow's heroic actions during battle. while you were cooling your heels in a field hospital, this is what a brave marine was doing. "during a sudden enemy ambush, "private first class snow unhesitatingly "left his foxhole, "moved through withering fire, and employing his rifle, "inflicted numerous casualties. "his actions saved the lives of his fellow marines." i will not listen to this. snow was going to get us all killed over there. i should know. i've seen it before. lenny snow exemplified the marine corps. negative! then just when you think you got snow going awol, tully shows up to plead his case, says he knows lenny didn't take that gun. tully was wrong. not about snow he wasn't, and you know it. you're still a marine.

act like one. son of a bitch wouldn't back down. he threatened to pull rank on me. on me! this better be good, tully. getting me out of the rack at this time of night. sir... pfc snow did not te lieutenant putnam's revolver, sir. where did you get this, tully? i cannot say, sir. i didn't copy that. you will give me that weapon. that is an order. sir, i wish only to clear private snow's name. pfc snow is not worthy of being a marine. snow is a coward and a thief, sir... and will not tarnish the marine corps with his presence. with all due respect to sergeant chaney, pfc snow is neither a coward nor a thief. you have no idea what it takes to be a marine. pfc snow believes you are trying to wash him out, sir, something that is against marine corps tradition. do not lecture me about tradition! now, you will stand down and give me that weapon.

i can't do that, sir. you are disobeying orders, pfc tully! you will give me that weapon and you will tell me where pfc snow is, or i will see to it that your sorry butt is booted back to whatever ungrateful hole you crawled out of. sergeant, i am preparedn and tell him the truth. the truth? and what truth is that? that you wish to pin the theft of an officer's weapon on an innocent man. you will do no such thing. 'cause i decide which marines remain in this platoon. me and only me. sir, i can't let you do that. you...! sergeant, please. (gunshot)
