Lock your door but rain is pouring through your window pane...
The sun had just appeared over the horizon when two locals stumbled upon Captain Pierce's lifeless body in the middle of a field a few miles from the 4077th MASH. The old farmer peered down as his young son groped Hawkeye's dog tags. The farmer directed the boy to help him put the man's body in the back of their grungy ox cart and the boy did as he was told. The farmer climbed into back of the cart, sitting with his legs folded next to Hawkeye's body. He gestured to his son to lead the ox cart towards the 4077th so that they may return the captain to his unit.
Father Mulcahy was the first to see the ox cart moving closer to the compound. He had just purchased an English-Korean dictionary while in Seoul the week before and was eager to try it out. So the priest carried the small dictionary in his pocket as he headed out to meet the ox cart half way. When he reached it, he almost fainted. But instead of fainting, he started gasping for air and he grabbed hold of the old farmer's hand.
"What happened?" he cried in English. "Is he dead?"
The old farmer looked at the priest, who was clenching his hand rather tightly now. He said something in Korean. Father Mulcahy remembered the dictionary and took it out of his pocket, flipping to the D section.
"Dead?" he cried again, this time in Korean.
The boy looked to the sky and the farmer nodded. Father Mulcahy fell to his knees, grasping the cross that was hanging around his neck.
