00:01:22 Here comes the pitch.
00:01:25 Strike three. He struck him out.
00:01:41 Oh, okay. Tommy Dorsey or Glenn Miller?
00:01:44 - Tommy Dorsey.
00:01:46 My Frankie.
00:01:48 That skinny little Italian cat?
00:01:50 - No, hell, no.
00:01:54 What's that?
00:02:04 I need your help on Sunday.
00:02:06 Yeah, sure. No problem.
00:02:09 Oh, hey.
00:02:10 I got the promotion.
00:02:12 Five years and I'm finally doing it.
00:02:14 That looks so good.
00:02:18 There's only one guy on your team.
00:02:21 Yankee Clipper.
00:02:24 How about this one:
00:02:28 - I'll take them both.
00:02:32 Come and get it. Hot dog, hamburger.
00:02:34 And Benny's hot-and-spicy sausages.
00:02:43 Lane, get your brother.
00:02:46 - Hey, Lyle!
00:02:48 Okay.
00:03:00 - Jazz and baseball.
00:03:03 The sax I picked up on my own.
00:03:05 The baseball, that was my dad.
00:03:10 And it got me an athletic scholarship
00:03:13 My older brother Lane went straight from
00:03:18 ...so I'm gonna be the first
00:03:21 Jazz and baseball.
00:03:31 Yesterday...
00:03:34 ...December 7th, 1941...
00:03:40 ...a date which will live in infamy...
00:03:45 ...the United States of America...
00:03:48 ...was suddenly
00:03:51 ...by naval and air forces
00:03:57 The United States was at peace
00:04:03 ...and at the solicitation of Japan...
00:04:07 ...was still in conversation
00:04:14 ...looking toward the maintenance
00:04:36 We were given 10 days' notice.
00:04:39 Ten days to close the family business...
00:04:42 ...to sell our furniture,
00:04:47 We gave our dog to the neighbors.
00:04:50 I smashed my records
00:05:10 We were only allowed to bring
00:05:15 First we were held
00:05:18 ...living in a horse stall.
00:05:21 Then we were taken further away.
00:05:25 Everything we had known was gone.
00:05:28 - determination of our people.
00:05:31 We will gain the inevitable triumph...
00:05:36 ...so help us God.
00:06:30 - Prisoner, step away from the fence.
00:06:34 Get on with it, now.
00:06:36 Keep away from the damn fence!
00:06:38 Follow all instructions and keep calm.
00:06:42 Okay, keep the line moving.
00:06:44 Go to the center circle.
00:06:48 Once again, those of you
00:06:51 ...or anyone by the center circle...
00:06:54 ...keep the line moving.
00:06:59 If you're not sure what line
00:07:02 ...find a soldier or an officer
00:07:06 Once again, once you exit this vehicle...
00:07:08 ...go to the center circle
00:07:11 - Okay. Let's go.
00:07:16 They will tell what line you should be in.
00:07:19 Keep it moving. All right,
00:07:22 She can get her own things.
00:07:26 Once you got your bag, just move on.
00:07:29 Hey. You, in the gray cap.
00:07:34 Get up, get back in line.
00:07:36 Go, go, go.
00:07:37 - She's my mother.
00:08:01 Find your belongings
00:08:08 Once again,
00:08:52 - How are you?
00:08:55 Okay.
00:09:15 Can we have everyone's attention?
00:09:19 Inspection is in a few minutes.
00:09:22 Not enough time to go outside.
00:09:25 We change here.
00:09:27 Men and boys, come to this side.
00:09:30 And will please all the women and girls
00:09:34 Okay.
00:10:06 Block 41, Barracks 11, bed check.
00:10:21 Is that one of those trick pictures
00:10:25 No, my dad played semipro ball.
00:10:28 See, Ruth, Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx,
00:10:31 They play on my dad's all-star team.
00:10:33 See?
00:10:35 Well, this guy right here,
00:10:38 ...without actually being a real Yankee.
00:10:43 Line up. If you're not there
00:10:45 ...you will be reported as missing curfew.
00:10:48 Nomura.
00:10:50 Emyko, Kazuo, Lane and Lyle Nomura.
00:10:55 I am Kazuo.
00:10:57 My wife, my sons.
00:11:01 Good evening.
00:11:02 My name is Walter Watson,
00:11:08 The government has created this camp
00:11:11 Every effort has been made here
00:11:14 ...as smooth as possible.
00:11:16 You'll have an opportunity to live
00:11:18 ...and establish constructive lives
00:11:24 As for me personally, I look forward to
00:11:28 ...and I wish to bid you all
00:12:31 Single-A minor-league pro ball.
00:12:36 Coming to the plate...
00:12:37 ...Bees catcher Billy Burrell.
00:12:40 Billy's the heart and soul
00:12:44 All right, hit it out of the park!
00:12:46 If you ask me, Billy is still showing...
00:12:48 ...why he was once considered
00:12:56 My, oh, my, look at it fly.
00:13:00 Billy caught all of that one.
00:13:02 That's a two-run shot.
00:13:06 That's the game winner, Billy Burrell!
00:13:09 Your Abraham Bees pull it out, 6 to 5.
00:13:12 He's having a heck of a season.
00:13:14 His best in years.
00:13:16 The last time he had a start like this
00:13:20 Don Lemon himself came out
00:13:23 We really thought we were gonna get
00:13:27 Billy's son, Billy Jr.,
00:13:31 ...before he shipped out to the Pacific.
00:13:33 Father and son, both doing their duty
00:14:11 Hey, I can play here if I want to, okay?
00:14:15 It's a free country.
00:14:16 Free country, huh?
00:14:18 If it's a free country,
00:14:22 ...and go on the other side
00:14:26 Get out of here.
00:14:29 - What is that over there?
00:14:31 Go play someplace else.
00:14:33 What do you got back there, old man?
00:14:35 You making something
00:14:38 Is that booze?
00:14:40 All residents must be in their barracks.
00:14:43 All residents must remain
00:14:46 No one is allowed out of the barracks.
00:14:48 Block 41, Barracks 11.
00:14:51 Area around this barracks,
00:14:54 We don't find him,
00:14:57 We found him
00:15:00 He's drunk.
00:15:01 He was lying on the ground.
00:15:04 Smells sweet.
00:15:09 You make the booze,
00:15:13 Did you make it,
00:15:16 Where...? Son of a bitch!
00:15:20 Who called lockdown?
00:15:23 Prisoner was missing.
00:15:26 You are not authorized to call lockdown.
00:15:28 - I'm putting him in the stockade.
00:16:00 Everybody, listen.
00:16:03 We have to do what we can
00:16:07 ...each one of us.
00:16:09 My father has spoken
00:16:12 ...and he said we're allowed
00:16:15 Too many of us have gotten sick.
00:16:19 We can patch the holes...
00:16:21 ...make curtains, do whatever we can
00:16:26 There are over 8000 of us here.
00:16:30 We have the skills we can use.
00:16:34 Now, the government won't help...
00:16:36 ...but they will allow us
00:16:39 ...and to go outside
00:16:43 We have to pay our own way,
00:16:47 ...then like my father said:
00:16:49 "Out of necessity,
00:17:08 Says here she's a pretty nice sort of person
00:17:14 Did you know Rita Hayworth
00:17:19 Hey, Billy.
00:17:21 Ed.
00:17:27 Camp okayed the Japs to come in,
00:17:32 Hi, I'm Kaz.
00:17:35 - My son Lane.
00:17:39 Do you have in stock?
00:17:44 "Fertilizer, watermelon seeds,
00:17:48 What's this?
00:17:51 - Ginger something?
00:17:53 - The material?
00:17:56 How you gonna pay for all this?
00:17:58 Cash.
00:18:00 Now we're giving
00:18:03 Sure, bring them here.
00:18:05 We'll take care of them, we'll feed them.
00:18:08 We'll house them, and you know what?
00:18:12 ...why don't we give them some extra cash,
00:18:17 No one is giving us money.
00:18:20 We were afraid banks
00:18:24 ...so we brought money here.
00:18:25 - Bullshit.
00:18:28 You're not gonna win the war in here.
00:18:30 Let me see what I got in stock.
00:18:33 As long as you can make a buck out of it.
00:18:41 - It's okay.
00:18:52 Katie got a letter from your boy Jackie.
00:18:57 Yeah, they're shipping him out
00:18:59 ...not far from where your son is.
00:19:01 We said a prayer for him
00:19:04 I appreciate that, Billy.
00:19:09 Yeah, we got most of it here...
00:19:12 ...but those curtains?
00:19:15 - Thank you.
00:19:17 Gingham curtains?
00:19:22 How can we be held?
00:19:24 How can we be held without being charged
00:19:29 What happened to the Constitution?
00:19:31 Where are all the Germans?
00:19:35 Demand answers.
00:19:37 Join us. Come on.
00:19:41 Demand answers.
00:19:45 You're afraid. You're all afraid.
00:20:03 Where do you think they're taking them?
00:20:05 Nobody knows.
00:20:07 They don't know where they're going
00:20:11 They got a special camp for these guys.
00:20:15 They put all the bad apples in one place...
00:20:18 ...and make apple cider out of them.
00:20:23 Come on. Let's go.
00:20:30 Now, listen.
00:20:32 Where there are people,
00:20:35 Where there's drinking and gambling,
00:20:38 You that good of a gambler?
00:20:39 There's no such thing as a good gambler.
00:20:42 Hey, I haven't risked a nickel in 25 years.
00:20:46 The only way to win in gambling
00:20:50 ...to run the games.
00:20:55 That way, I don't give a damn
00:20:58 Just give me a little piece of the play.
00:21:03 People wanna drink,
00:21:05 ...and sell it to them for a buck.
00:21:09 Hey, it's business.
00:21:29 Hurry up.
00:21:31 Hey, what does he wanna talk about?
00:21:34 - I don't know.
00:21:36 All right, okay. Maybe I do.
00:21:38 Let's go, let's go.
00:21:42 Okay.
00:21:55 You wanted to talk to me?
00:22:03 When I was a young boy,
00:22:08 I could not speak English.
00:22:11 Kids made fun of me.
00:22:14 One day, I found a game.
00:22:19 - Baseball.
00:22:26 And I became good.
00:22:29 I became so good, no one could deny it.
00:22:33 And the kids stopped making fun of me.
00:22:56 I want to make a league here...
00:22:59 ...just like we had at home.
00:23:07 You remember the first time
00:23:12 You told me about Babe Ruth
00:23:18 You made me believe
00:23:22 That that was possible,
00:23:28 But you know what, Dad?
00:23:31 It's not true.
00:24:25 Girls. You making fun of us?
00:24:32 I don't think that's very funny.
00:24:34 I have the room here from 4:30.
00:24:38 Well, we're not done here yet,
00:24:42 All right, girls, focus.
00:24:44 Eyes front. Let's try it again, okay?
00:24:47 And one, two, three. One, two, three.
00:25:12 Jesus.
00:25:15 Hollister.
00:25:16 That kid Don Lemon brought up
00:25:19 Did he make the news in New York?
00:25:20 You know, he reminded me of Billy Jr.
00:25:23 I thought he really had a chance.
00:25:27 He never even got an at bat.
00:25:32 Can you imagine that?
00:25:35 ...dreaming of making it there,
00:25:38 Why couldn't they at least
00:25:40 Just one stinking big-league at bat?
00:25:42 Wasn't any sugar left.
00:25:45 Billy, take a look at this lineup now.
00:25:48 The great New York Yankees.
00:25:52 - The starters are all gone.
00:25:54 In another few months...
00:25:55 ...the war's gonna take everybody
00:26:01 We're gonna have another chance.
00:26:04 - I'm too damn old.
00:26:07 The war's changing everything.
00:26:10 We've gotta get Don Lemon
00:26:13 ...and take another look at you.
00:26:14 Big leagues, New York City?
00:26:16 I haven't heard you talk like this
00:26:19 Your mother's dreaming, sweetie.
00:26:26 - All right, Lane. Come on. Batter up.
00:26:32 - Come on.
00:26:35 My brother never had any interest
00:26:38 I mean, he could barely
00:26:40 But it was him, not me...
00:26:42 ...who helped my father
00:26:45 And after that, it just...
00:26:47 It was never the same between me
00:26:58 Wait.
00:27:03 Let's go, come on!
00:27:04 Two teams.
00:27:09 - Home-run champ, bro.
00:27:10 - Da kine Hawaiian league.
00:27:13 Let's go, let's go.
00:27:23 - Come on.
00:27:25 In the middle! We got him!
00:27:31 Thank you, son.
00:27:34 Give me something right here.
00:27:39 Come on, Lane.
00:27:45 - Foul, it's a foul ball.
00:27:47 - Home run all the way, little brother.
00:27:51 - Fair ball. Fair ball.
00:27:53 - Fair.
00:27:55 Fair. Fair. That's fair.
00:27:59 Fair.
00:28:59 Hey.
00:29:02 - Hi.
00:29:05 Oh, no, no, no. I was just curious.
00:29:09 - No, come on up.
00:29:13 Oh, I'm sorry.
00:29:18 - Let's go.
00:29:22 - All right, we're about to hit the melody.
00:29:24 You ready?
00:29:41 - Hey, take a verse.
00:29:43 A verse, a solo. Take a verse.
00:29:45 There's no solo written here.
00:29:47 Just try it, play what you feel.
00:30:40 Hey.
00:30:43 - You weren't so bad in there.
00:30:46 No, I'm serious.
00:30:48 Started off a little stiff,
00:30:53 When I got up, I thought
00:30:56 You know,
00:30:58 - Down at the Avenue.
00:31:04 You want a drink?
00:31:08 Sure.
00:31:14 Oh, so Central Avenue, downtown L.A.
00:31:18 All the best players in the country
00:31:20 And so this one night...
00:31:22 ...somehow I got up the nerve
00:31:26 - By myself.
00:31:29 I mean, I was so nervous...
00:31:31 ...I just stood by the edge of the stage.
00:31:34 Everyone was looking at me
00:31:36 I mean, it's a hundred percent
00:31:42 So they finally call my name
00:31:49 - And nothing.
00:31:51 I could not play a note.
00:31:54 But, you know, there was this piano guy.
00:31:57 He was this old cat.
00:32:01 - "Go ahead, son. Play a verse."
00:32:05 But I did. I did. I started playing...
00:32:10 ...and it was amazing.
00:32:13 Me, up there...
00:32:16 ...with guys from Count Basie's band.
00:32:21 Okay, I never even knew
00:32:26 I'm not a Jap.
00:32:29 I was born here just like you.
00:32:32 I'm sorry, I didn't me...
00:32:37 Thanks for letting me play with the band.
00:32:46 Hey, big brother.
00:32:49 Yeah. It's hot in there.
00:32:52 Give me a cigarette.
00:32:54 - Didn't know you still had those moves.
00:33:02 What are you doing out here?
00:33:04 - Oh, you know, just needed some air.
00:33:07 So?
00:33:12 Why'd you ask her to come up
00:33:18 Thanks, Dad.
00:33:32 Our people fighting and dying
00:33:39 They start a baseball league.
00:33:42 They have dances, beauty pageants.
00:33:44 Watson and his Quakers made this place
00:33:50 I've become a goddamn babysitter.
00:33:59 Will you get that ball for us?
00:34:03 The ball there.
00:34:05 Oh, sorry.
00:34:06 No English.
00:34:09 Get the ball, pick it up,
00:34:17 You, you understand English.
00:34:19 Throw it back here.
00:34:21 If you can't get it all the way...
00:34:23 ...just try to get it as close to Mack,
00:34:44 You got a pretty good arm.
00:34:47 How about betting a buck and see
00:34:51 Five bucks.
00:34:53 Five?
00:34:55 I'll put up the 5.
00:35:04 One at bat. Maximum seven pitches.
00:35:06 Hit, walk or strike out.
00:35:10 You don't, I win.
00:35:19 Call the shot, Billy. Like Babe Ruth.
00:35:30 Attaboy, Lyle.
00:35:31 You guys didn't know he had a scholarship
00:35:37 You picked up English quick,
00:35:41 Just a little bit.
00:35:57 How about that?
00:36:00 Zero and two.
00:36:03 Make it 10?
00:36:06 Ten bucks.
00:36:09 Throw them in there, Lyle.
00:36:11 Easy money, Lyle.
00:36:13 We got a couple of suckers
00:36:21 - Ball one.
00:36:24 Off the outside corner. One and two.
00:36:36 - Ball two.
00:36:39 Just a little bit high,
00:36:41 That's right.
00:36:46 - Bullshit.
00:37:03 Not much question about that one.
00:37:05 Full count. Three and two.
00:37:07 Let's see what you do
00:37:13 Ball four.
00:37:16 Where's my money, hotshot?
00:37:18 You couldn't hit me
00:37:20 You weren't even close those first two.
00:37:27 Ten bucks.
00:37:30 I handle the money.
00:37:31 Here's your 10 bucks.
00:37:35 Thank you for a great demonstration
00:37:39 Like we say in the old country:
00:37:56 Let it go, Lyle.
00:37:59 Let it go.
00:38:03 Who the hell does he think he is,
00:38:10 This had nothing to do with baseball.
00:38:41 I start getting it
00:38:43 It's okay. Just take it again at half tempo,
00:38:47 No, no. Don't go easy on me.
00:39:05 See? It's not about playing it fast.
00:39:09 Sometimes it's more about what you're
00:39:13 - You just have to listen.
00:39:17 No, you're not listening.
00:39:20 I listen.
00:39:22 Hey, I know these guys.
00:39:23 Old guys. They told me
00:39:26 ...trying to learn
00:39:28 Listening to it,
00:39:30 You know, the sound. Getting a feel for it.
00:39:34 Trust me, okay?
00:39:36 - Let's try it again, slowly.
00:40:57 Tully rounding first
00:41:03 Look out.
00:41:07 Feel like you can use a haircut?
00:41:09 Don't forget about Ed's Barbershop.
00:41:11 Cut it right, cut it at Ed's.
00:41:18 - Feels good to be in first place, don't it?
00:41:23 Good ball game.
00:41:32 Billy.
00:41:35 I thought you'd wanna see him
00:41:45 Oh, Jesus.
00:41:49 Billy's son.
00:42:24 - No.
00:42:26 - No.
00:43:29 Mom, Dad, Lyle.
00:43:32 I have something important I wanna say.
00:43:37 I enlisted.
00:43:39 I joined the Army.
00:43:42 I can't be in here anymore.
00:43:45 - You should have come to me...
00:43:50 - I accepted what happened to us...
00:43:53 I accepted it
00:43:56 But now we have a choice.
00:43:58 Now I can prove that I'm as American
00:44:02 You just get smarter by the minute,
00:44:07 Do you understand how much shame
00:44:10 - Lane, that's enough.
00:44:14 I'm the only one in here
00:44:17 Lyle.
00:44:19 You lost a scholarship. Big deal.
00:44:23 Everyone in here
00:44:28 And no one complains.
00:44:31 No one says anything,
00:44:35 Only you.
00:44:39 You know what?
00:44:42 You go.
00:44:45 Go fight.
00:44:49 You go over there...
00:44:52 ...you get yourself killed.
00:44:54 See what that proves.
00:45:32 One thousand stitches.
00:45:36 One thousand mothers here
00:45:43 This, for my son.
00:45:56 Lane.
00:45:59 As long as you wear this senninbari
00:46:03 ...you'll be protected from harm.
00:46:14 Thanks, Mom.
00:46:21 Thinking what I'm thinking?
00:46:24 I doubt that very much, Mack.
00:46:28 I know they're gonna be killing Krauts
00:46:30 ...but don't make no sense
00:46:33 I will wear this with pride.
00:46:36 And the thought of you...
00:46:39 ...all of you,
00:46:43 Of what I'm fighting for.
00:46:50 And thanks for coming to see me off.
00:46:54 I appreciate it.
00:46:59 So I guess this is it.
00:47:03 Bye, Mom.
00:47:13 - I'll be fine.
00:47:15 Yes.
00:47:24 Dad.
00:47:44 I am what I am because of you.
00:47:56 Bye, Lane.
00:47:58 - Bye.
00:48:00 Come back soon.
00:49:03 Kazuo?
00:51:11 Camp Shelby, Mississippi.
00:51:13 The Japanese-American 442nd
00:51:18 ...preparing to fight for their country...
00:51:21 ...and the American ideals
00:51:24 Democracy and equality of opportunity...
00:51:26 ...regardless of race, creed,
00:51:29 Their spirit is typified
00:51:34 Meaning "shoot the works, risk everything,
00:51:40 Go for broke indeed.
00:51:44 - Go for broke.
00:51:46 - Go for broke.
00:51:49 Go for broke.
00:51:50 - Go for broke.
00:51:53 Go for broke.
00:00:38 - Katie, you in here?
00:00:41 I got off a little early, so if you're
00:00:44 Okay. I just have to finish cleaning up
00:00:50 Where are your Jap girls?
00:00:52 They left a little while ago.
00:00:54 I'll just... I'll meet you at the truck.
00:00:58 All right.
00:01:12 Oh, Lyle. Lyle, come here. Come.
00:01:18 Did you see this in the camp paper?
00:01:21 The Quakers are gonna
00:01:24 "One player from the camp league...
00:01:26 ...all expenses paid,
00:01:30 Whoever wins this
00:01:32 Yes.
00:01:35 He's here. Tell him.
00:01:38 Have you seen the paper this morning?
00:01:41 If the Quakers will offer
00:01:43 ...then I can win this
00:01:47 Did you hear what I said? I can get this.
00:01:51 Now...
00:01:54 ...I asked you before, you said no to me.
00:01:58 - Kazuo, what he's trying to say is...
00:02:20 I just want a chance for this.
00:02:23 - I know that I haven't been...
00:02:28 Yeah, yeah, okay.
00:02:30 No gambling.
00:02:32 All right.
00:02:34 No seeing that girl.
00:02:37 What?
00:02:39 What does she have to do
00:02:42 Everyone in camp knows.
00:02:45 Everyone is talking.
00:02:47 I don't care what they say.
00:02:51 I say.
00:02:53 No hakujin.
00:03:05 Kaz, it could be a chance for him.
00:03:08 Quiet.
00:03:11 Lyle. Lyle.
00:03:13 If your father won't let you play
00:03:16 ...there are other teams to play for.
00:03:18 - You can...
00:03:40 No.
00:03:50 Next batter.
00:03:59 All right.
00:04:01 What you get? What you get?
00:04:07 Strike one.
00:04:09 Come on, brother.
00:04:11 Strike.
00:04:12 - Give me another one.
00:04:15 Well, you know da kine jazz?
00:04:17 Give me one big headache, bro.
00:04:26 - Foul ball.
00:04:29 - It was a long strike.
00:04:34 What you get? What you get?
00:04:37 Okay. All right. All right.
00:04:41 You know, it also means
00:04:44 What you get? What you get?
00:04:49 Hey, doesn't it also mean goodbye?
00:04:53 Aloha.
00:04:57 I had an idea
00:04:59 How do you know you're gonna win it?
00:05:01 I'll win it.
00:05:03 But when I get out of here, I was thinking
00:05:07 - Come with you?
00:05:11 I've been thinking about it a lot.
00:05:14 A really good musician,
00:05:17 You need to play with other people...
00:05:19 ...you need to, you know,
00:05:24 Then maybe one day, you know...
00:05:26 ...you could play professionally
00:05:30 Lyle, I'm...
00:05:34 I've never been outside of Abraham
00:05:36 Yeah, but that is the point, Katie.
00:05:38 You've got to get out of Abraham.
00:05:41 There's nothing there.
00:05:43 Delaware has this
00:05:47 And I already got you an application.
00:05:51 We...
00:05:57 I want you to come with me.
00:06:04 Yes.
00:06:07 I will.
00:06:10 Ed, guess what.
00:06:13 Dapper Don might be coming down here.
00:06:15 I don't give a shit about that.
00:06:18 What's the matter with you?
00:06:21 I always figured Katie and my boy Jackie
00:06:25 And I even came to think of her
00:06:29 Yeah, and?
00:06:33 Now I don't.
00:06:39 You've been seeing some Jap?
00:06:43 What?
00:06:46 You've been seeing some Jap boy?
00:06:48 - Billy, what...?
00:06:53 - No.
00:06:56 You haven't been
00:07:00 No. No, of course not.
00:07:05 Well, what Ed heard is wrong.
00:07:08 I know you wouldn't do that.
00:07:12 I know you would never do
00:07:14 Not to me, not to our family.
00:07:18 Not to the memory of your brother.
00:07:39 I spoke to Director Watson...
00:07:41 ...about how to ease tension
00:07:45 We had an idea to have a game...
00:07:48 ...between your baseball team
00:07:51 Maybe we have...
00:07:53 No. Nobody on our team
00:07:57 Delivery's running late.
00:07:59 They just called,
00:08:02 I got a package to pick up
00:08:04 Take care of their order
00:08:09 A basket for you and your wife.
00:08:13 Thank you, Kaz.
00:08:31 This town is sick to death of you people.
00:08:34 Why don't you go back
00:08:36 I'm from Los Angeles.
00:08:56 No. Get off.
00:09:02 You hungry? Go ahead, eat.
00:09:04 Eat!
00:09:06 Hey! Hey, knock it off!
00:09:09 The hell are you doing out here, Nomura?
00:09:11 Nomura? This that kid?
00:09:18 All right, that's enough.
00:09:19 Break it up. Break it up.
00:09:23 Everybody, go on. Get out of here.
00:09:27 Take it home, Ed.
00:09:31 All right. Okay.
00:09:37 - Are you okay?
00:09:39 - Okay?
00:09:43 - No, I'm fine.
00:09:52 - Who told you that one?
00:09:59 We had a little trouble in town today.
00:10:04 Run off?
00:10:06 - There's nothing around for 300 miles.
00:10:09 He came into town with us
00:10:12 ...and then he decided
00:10:15 ...and get himself a burger.
00:10:18 That Nomura kid.
00:10:25 What did you do to him?
00:10:26 Me? Nothing.
00:10:28 Couple fellas in town
00:10:40 - Excuse me for just a second.
00:10:49 You're not going back
00:10:52 Not tomorrow, not the next day.
00:10:55 - What?
00:10:59 You try to go back into that camp,
00:11:34 Heard you didn't get the scholarship
00:11:38 That's too bad.
00:11:49 Things happen. Whatever happens,
00:11:57 Tough luck, kid.
00:12:00 Deal with it.
00:12:13 The Japanese-American
00:12:17 ...moving up from their battles in Italy
00:12:22 ...fighting in tough terrain
00:12:25 ...trying to rescue a lost battalion
00:12:31 Mission after mission, these stalwart
00:12:35 ...bringing honor to themselves
00:12:37 ...that is proud to call them citizens.
00:12:48 Hey, Billy.
00:12:50 You know anybody in the Texas 36th?
00:12:53 No, I think Mack knows
00:12:56 Well, the Krauts cut them off
00:13:00 They got ripped up bad.
00:13:02 None of our other guys
00:13:06 Except for them.
00:13:08 The 442nd, they took 800 casualties...
00:13:11 ...to save 211 guys in the 36th.
00:13:16 These guys...
00:13:19 ...they're all from Topaz.
00:13:46 Barber says to her, "Sweetheart,
00:13:50 She says, "I know.
00:14:02 Just got off the bus from Phoenix.
00:14:04 On my way to Topaz.
00:14:07 Thought I'd get cleaned up
00:14:11 The back's kind of raggedy...
00:14:13 ...so think it could use a trim right now.
00:14:16 Billy gets called up, we're gonna be
00:14:20 Not gonna be as easy to win
00:14:25 Still, as long as Grover's with us,
00:14:29 I'm kind of in a hurry here.
00:14:31 An MP's picking me up
00:14:38 I don't cut Jap hair.
00:14:46 Lieutenant Nomura.
00:14:54 Corporal Norris, here to pick you up.
00:14:57 At ease.
00:15:01 Welcome back, sir.
00:15:03 Thank you.
00:15:47 Hi, Mom.
00:16:08 Dad.
00:16:47 Lane, we kept everything.
00:16:51 He wanted to show you
00:16:53 And I was telling him
00:16:57 And the news.
00:16:59 And I really think
00:17:06 Hey. I heard you were back.
00:17:09 Hi, Lyle.
00:17:11 How've you been?
00:17:14 Fine.
00:17:15 I went around to neighbors
00:17:19 When Mrs. Watanabe came
00:17:22 ...I thought it was perfect.
00:17:25 I thought you would've lost more weight.
00:17:28 You'd be like skinny, skinny, skinny.
00:17:31 Now you're gonna have
00:17:35 Sounds good.
00:17:45 I can't stand it anymore.
00:17:47 I'm doing nothing.
00:17:51 I'm just stuck in that house
00:17:56 I have to do something.
00:18:05 I'm going away.
00:18:07 What?
00:18:09 I am going away...
00:18:11 ...on my own.
00:18:15 Where are you going?
00:18:17 I'm going to Delaware. To school.
00:18:22 No, that wasn't the plan.
00:18:25 I applied because of you, but now it...
00:18:28 I mean,
00:18:30 You're the one who told me I could do this,
00:18:34 You were going there with me.
00:18:37 I can't see you here anyway.
00:18:41 Prisoner, step away from the fence.
00:18:45 Civilian on the outside,
00:18:50 Civilian and prisoner, both of you,
00:19:21 Hey.
00:19:23 How's your brother adjusting
00:19:26 He's doing okay.
00:19:27 - He's a hell of a guy.
00:19:30 Hey, I'm not talking about
00:19:33 That day I picked him up,
00:19:36 ...he never said a word about
00:19:39 What barbershop?
00:19:42 Didn't even faze him enough
00:19:46 What are you talking about?
00:19:49 Just a haircut.
00:19:52 That's Ed Tully. He's a barber in town.
00:19:58 Director Watson got permission
00:20:02 We are going to their park.
00:20:04 Their home field.
00:20:07 That's great.
00:20:09 Because that is the guy, Dad.
00:20:12 That day in town? This was the guy.
00:20:18 I have to be a part of this.
00:20:28 Mama?
00:20:33 I've been accepted by a college.
00:20:36 I'm gonna go.
00:20:41 Katie. Okay.
00:20:46 Delaware State University. What...?
00:20:49 You wanna go to college in Delaware?
00:20:52 What? College? You never talked
00:20:56 I have money saved from my job.
00:20:59 You're not going.
00:21:01 When I get called up,
00:21:04 - Billy.
00:21:06 - I'm not asking for anything from you...
00:21:09 When we go to New York, we're all...
00:21:11 I spent my life hearing about
00:21:14 - How we're gonna go to New York.
00:21:17 No, Mama, no.
00:21:19 I just wanna go.
00:21:22 You are not leaving home, Katie.
00:21:24 You are not going off to school.
00:21:26 You are not going back to that camp.
00:21:28 - You are not seeing that Jap...
00:21:32 You look at him and you see the people
00:21:35 Well, Lyle wasn't over there.
00:21:39 - We're not talking about that.
00:21:43 All this time, talking about them.
00:21:45 How they caused all this,
00:21:50 Why don't we talk about
00:21:52 Why Billy Jr. was even there to begin with,
00:21:56 - Katie, that is enough.
00:21:59 Trying to make him be you.
00:22:02 Forcing him to play baseball.
00:22:04 Making him practice hours
00:22:07 - He never wanted it.
00:22:09 - You don't know anything about it.
00:22:12 He couldn't stand being here anymore
00:22:17 That is why he was there.
00:22:20 It was you. You who killed him.
00:22:22 - Shut up! Shut up!
00:22:25 - Shut up!
00:23:09 My father had set up the game
00:23:12 ...because he wanted us
00:23:15 ...to the people of the town.
00:23:17 When I told him I had to be there...
00:23:21 ...he never brought up any of the things
00:23:25 All he said was,
00:23:50 We're gonna challenge them
00:23:53 All of us together.
00:23:55 All it's gonna take is one quarter.
00:23:59 Come on, give me a quarter.
00:24:01 Look, one measly quarter,
00:24:04 One measly quarter each. Okay?
00:24:07 - Sweet, kid.
00:24:09 Give me another one.
00:24:11 Once again. Once again. Come on.
00:24:16 One quarter, your bet.
00:24:20 All of us in one bet, together.
00:24:23 Drop it on in.
00:24:25 Attaboy.
00:24:27 You got it.
00:24:28 We're gonna get there.
00:25:06 Welcome to Skinner Field,
00:25:11 We've got a special exhibition game...
00:25:13 ...between the Bees and a team
00:25:19 Quite a few people from the camp
00:25:22 Probably the first time
00:25:25 A little birdie put it in my ear today
00:25:29 ...the scout of the New York Yankees,
00:25:31 Y'all know what happened
00:25:34 Yep, that's right.
00:25:35 Jimmy Hollister was called up
00:25:38 Our Jimmy Hollister.
00:25:39 We decided to treat this like any other day,
00:25:44 I heard he drives a big fancy car.
00:25:46 A brand-new Roadmaster,
00:25:54 - What the hell is this?
00:25:57 - What?
00:26:00 Every person in camp is in on it.
00:26:02 Twenty-five hundred dollars?
00:26:05 Yeah. We like to gamble.
00:26:09 Billy.
00:26:11 These are the guys that wanna put
00:26:14 All right, how much? I'm in.
00:26:16 Two thousand five hundred bucks.
00:26:20 - What, $2000?
00:26:22 What's the matter, you scared?
00:26:25 You don't even belong
00:26:27 There's no way we can come up
00:26:30 And you guys are gonna back down?
00:26:32 Come on, what have you got
00:26:36 Little slants just trying to show us
00:26:42 I have an idea.
00:26:45 This is a league game.
00:26:48 ...would determine which will bat first.
00:26:54 Heads.
00:26:55 Heads it is.
00:26:58 We bat last.
00:26:59 Topaz has elected to bat last.
00:27:03 Looks like the Topaz team has decided
00:27:09 Everybody...
00:27:12 ...we know what we have to do
00:27:16 But...
00:27:18 ...today is not just about winning.
00:27:22 Today is about dignity.
00:27:26 Dignity of the game,
00:27:32 ...here.
00:27:37 Enough.
00:27:39 Let's play ball.
00:27:41 You heard him. Who are we?
00:27:43 - Topaz!
00:27:44 Let's go, guys.
00:27:47 These guys are little, and I mean little.
00:27:50 It's almost like looking
00:27:53 Personally, I always get a kick
00:27:55 You see a midget, you gotta chuckle.
00:28:01 Hey, your Abraham Bees leadoff hitter,
00:28:05 - Come on, Ed.
00:28:31 Do that again. Throw at me.
00:28:34 That had more than "brush back"
00:28:41 The pitcher kid winds.
00:28:45 - Strike!
00:28:46 Attaboy, Lyle, attaboy.
00:28:49 Pitcher fella
00:28:52 - Two!
00:28:57 - Out!
00:29:02 And that's one down.
00:29:04 Next up, we've got catcher Billy Burrell.
00:29:07 We're all expecting Billy to be called up.
00:29:13 I've never known a player
00:29:15 - Mash it, Billy.
00:29:18 My hat's off to Billy.
00:29:26 - Strike!
00:29:29 Hey, it's a little different when you both
00:29:34 Just a little bit. Just a little bit.
00:29:39 This time, it's straight up.
00:29:42 - Come on.
00:29:44 Straight up.
00:30:00 Down the line, hooking...
00:30:03 - Foul.
00:30:05 - Okay.
00:30:14 You're out!
00:30:15 Beautiful, beautiful.
00:30:17 That's the way to do it, now.
00:30:22 These guys have never seen
00:30:25 Grover really had a shot
00:30:27 He told me that Don Lemon himself
00:30:30 Talked to him about
00:30:33 Coming to the plate...
00:30:34 ...this must be, let's see, Takeshita.
00:30:41 Ball one.
00:30:49 Strike one.
00:30:51 - Strike two.
00:30:53 - You're out!
00:30:57 As next batter,
00:31:00 Come on, Grover, come on.
00:31:05 A little tap down the line.
00:31:08 That's two down.
00:31:10 Let's forget about this exhibition game.
00:31:15 This big fella, I don't know
00:31:18 He looks colored to me.
00:31:20 I guess he's married to one of them,
00:31:23 Scorecard says he calls himself Bambino.
00:31:27 Got no comment on that.
00:31:31 Grover winds and...
00:31:33 Oh, hey.
00:31:34 They don't have fastballs like that
00:31:38 First inning: one, two, three.
00:31:41 - Here comes the pitch.
00:31:42 - Down he goes.
00:31:44 - Grab some pine. Take your seat.
00:31:46 Grover's working on a no-hitter.
00:31:47 It's damn near impossible
00:31:49 Top of the fourth, and Nomura...
00:31:52 Whatever-his-name-is delivers, and...
00:31:59 They don't have any bats,
00:32:05 Where is he?
00:32:08 Do you want me to go look around
00:32:11 Oh, would you, Joe? I'd appreciate that.
00:32:13 This Topaz kid, now,
00:32:16 ...some special
00:32:18 ...but he's got himself a shutout
00:32:22 - Strike three. You're out.
00:32:25 You heard it, but didn't see it.
00:32:34 Grover winds and...
00:32:38 Bambino, I love you!
00:32:39 - Yeah, Bambino!
00:32:48 The Topaz team goes up, 1-0.
00:32:52 Go! Yeah! Yeah!
00:32:57 That calls for a little liquid refreshment.
00:33:06 He's here.
00:33:08 Thank God.
00:33:11 Billy, he's here.
00:33:13 - He just got here.
00:33:15 He always reserves a seat when he comes,
00:33:20 - New York Yankees.
00:33:26 Ladies and gentlemen, please rise
00:33:31 Feel like you could use a haircut?
00:33:35 Cut it right, cut it at Ed's.
00:33:39 And join me in singing
00:33:54 I bought my bus ticket.
00:33:56 I leave for Delaware day after tomorrow.
00:34:02 That's great, Katie.
00:34:05 I won't go if you don't want me to.
00:34:13 No.
00:34:15 No, I want you to, I do.
00:34:18 - Really?
00:34:22 Oh, God. I'm so scared, Lyle.
00:34:25 Yeah, I know.
00:34:28 You're gonna be fine.
00:34:30 I just keep thinking about maybe next year,
00:34:34 We could be in Delaware...
00:34:44 Mom, this is Lyle.
00:34:47 This is my mom.
00:34:50 Hello, Mrs. Burrell.
00:34:53 It's a pleasure to meet you.
00:34:56 It's nice to meet you.
00:35:05 Mom, Dad.
00:35:11 This is Katie.
00:35:13 Hello.
00:35:14 And her mother and father.
00:35:57 Well, here we are in the top of the ninth,
00:36:02 One on, two outs, and now we got
00:36:09 Ed hits a slow dribble
00:36:12 Look out.
00:36:15 What, you wanna hit somebody?
00:36:17 Come hit me. Come hit me, man.
00:36:21 Hey, catcher, get back behind the plate.
00:36:25 That's Ed Tully style baseball.
00:36:27 Stay on the base, Ed.
00:36:31 Next up, we got catcher Billy Burrell.
00:36:34 Nomura's made Billy look bad today.
00:36:39 I can tell you right now, Billy does not
00:36:47 Go Burrell!
00:36:48 Two on, two outs.
00:36:51 This game is on the line right here, folks.
00:36:55 Knock it out of the park, Burrell!
00:37:18 Bombs away!
00:37:20 Billy just hit a three-run homer.
00:37:23 It doesn't get any better than this, fans.
00:37:43 - I'm sorry, sugar. I'm really sorry.
00:37:47 I found out where Don Lemon
00:37:50 Right over there.
00:37:53 I made a mistake.
00:37:56 Don Lemon isn't here.
00:38:31 That's a game winner, Billy Burrell!
00:38:34 That's a winner!
00:38:36 One swing of the bat
00:38:39 ...have taken control of this game.
00:38:44 We can just about call it a day here.
00:38:49 Hey, everybody.
00:38:52 I don't wanna see any heads
00:38:58 Every one of you.
00:39:06 I am proud of you.
00:39:12 - We're all here, yeah?
00:39:13 - We're all here, yeah?
00:39:15 Let's give them something
00:39:18 - Who are we?
00:39:19 - Who are we?
00:39:20 Let's go, let's go!
00:39:21 Well, here we are. Bottom of the ninth.
00:39:24 Your Abraham Bees 3, Topaz 1.
00:39:27 All right, let's get this thing over with.
00:39:30 Grover looks fresh as a daisy out there.
00:39:32 They barely touched him today.
00:39:35 - Out.
00:39:37 Right, that's one. Okay, we got one here.
00:39:40 Grover had that one slip
00:39:42 ...but other than that,
00:39:46 - You're out!
00:39:49 All right. It's all over
00:39:51 We're down to our last out here...
00:39:53 ...and I gotta tell you, it was more
00:39:58 This Topaz team managed
00:40:06 - Bunt!
00:40:10 No play at first.
00:40:11 Shit. Damn it.
00:40:13 Yeah!
00:40:15 Come on, now, come on.
00:40:18 Now, this next batter, he's 0-for-3.
00:40:21 Gone down on strikes
00:40:26 Grover's got him terrified
00:40:29 And I gotta say,
00:40:43 Look out. That's gotta hurt.
00:40:48 Takeshita takes a first "base-a."
00:40:51 Pardon my Italian.
00:40:56 That puts the tying run on base, folks.
00:40:58 Still got a chance at that 2500.
00:41:01 There's not gonna be any 2500.
00:41:06 I'm not saying we're not gonna win.
00:41:09 What I mean is we're not
00:41:13 They don't have the money
00:41:16 So, what's the bet for now?
00:41:18 A haircut.
00:41:20 A what?
00:41:22 Our 2500 against a haircut.
00:41:26 That's ridiculous.
00:41:29 Is it?
00:41:31 You want your quarter back?
00:41:33 I'll give you your quarter back.
00:41:36 And anybody else
00:41:42 Two on, two outs.
00:41:44 The Bees better quit fooling around
00:42:04 I'd like a piece of that bet.
00:42:08 - You're on.
00:42:11 We've got a bet to win!
00:42:14 - Let's go, Topaz!
00:42:15 - Let's go, Topaz!
00:42:18 Come on, Topaz!
00:42:20 - Let's go.
00:42:21 Lyle!
00:42:24 Go for broke, Lyle!
00:42:28 Go for broke.
00:42:31 Go for broke, Lyle. Go for broke.
00:42:36 Go for broke.
00:42:38 - Go for broke!
00:42:39 - Go for broke!
00:42:41 Go for broke!
00:42:43 Go for broke!
00:42:45 - Come on, go for broke!
00:42:47 - Go for broke! Go for broke!
00:42:51 Go for broke!
00:42:52 They're yelling something over there.
00:42:56 Go for broke! Go for broke!
00:42:59 Go for broke! Go for broke!
00:43:03 There's a line drive down the line.
00:43:11 One run's gonna score.
00:43:13 The second one's rounding third,
00:43:17 The throw comes into the plate.
00:43:20 And he's safe. Safe at third.
00:43:32 We got a tie game, 3-3,
00:43:35 Coming up is the big colored fella,
00:43:40 Billy Burrell and Ed Tully
00:43:44 He's their only real hitter,
00:43:46 Heck, no. I say we go after him.
00:43:50 Come on.
00:43:54 And, Grover, don't screw it up.
00:43:58 ...and I sure as hell ain't
00:44:02 This is what it's all about:
00:44:05 Our best pitcher against their best batter.
00:44:09 Grover getting the sign.
00:44:11 He's gonna throw some smoke,
00:44:22 Down the line. Hooking...
00:44:24 - Foul ball.
00:44:30 Grover better bear down here.
00:44:49 Grover getting his sign.
00:44:52 Come on. Come on, Grover.
00:45:19 Out!
00:45:22 What? No, no, no. He didn't tag me!
00:45:26 - No tag! No tag! He missed the tag!
00:45:29 The tag is good!
00:45:30 - He couldn't have tagged me.
00:45:32 - Catcher made the tag.
00:45:35 - Goddamn it!
00:45:39 His hands were way up here.
00:45:40 - Missed him! He was safe!
00:45:43 - Tag was good! Runner is out.
00:45:46 - Three-three tie, we go to extra innings.
00:45:49 Lyle, enough. Enough.
00:45:51 Did you touch the plate?
00:45:54 What?
00:45:56 Did you touch the plate?
00:45:59 Yeah, I touched the plate.
00:46:02 Of course you did. Game's over.
00:46:06 Tie game, extra innings.
00:46:08 - He was safe.
00:46:11 The ump saw, I saw it, everybody saw it.
00:46:13 I tagged him. I made the tag,
00:46:17 - He's safe. Run scores.
00:46:21 I know you didn't.
00:46:22 I did. Call it.
00:46:26 Catcher dropped the ball after the tag.
00:46:30 No! No, you can't do that!
00:46:32 - Game is over. Topaz wins, 4-3.
00:46:36 - What the hell is that?!
00:46:39 - Topaz wins! We won!
00:46:41 - We won!
00:46:43 Topaz wins?
00:46:44 He's saying Topaz won.
00:47:31 Go for broke! Go for broke!
00:47:34 Go for broke! Go for broke!
00:47:38 Go for broke! Go for broke!
00:47:41 Go for broke! Go for broke!
00:47:44 Go for broke! Go for broke!
00:47:48 Go for broke! Go for broke!
