:30:01
- Who are you and what is your rank?
- Col. Madden, ma'am.
:30:04
Colonel, is it? Then I'm sure you'll know
what must be done.
:30:08
When you attack the village, I want you to
attend especially to the Japanese Captain.
:30:12
- It was he who gave the order.
- We're not attacking the village.
:30:15
You're an American, are you not?
:30:18
It was your flag he refused to lower,
not his.
:30:21
The village isn't much out of our way.
:30:23
Our only chance of getting to
the gasoline dump is by surprise.
:30:25
- Yes, but...
- The moment we'd attack that village...
:30:28
the whole countryside
would be on the alert.
:30:30
I'm thinking of 70,000 men on Bataan.
:30:34
How do you fellows feel about it?
:30:37
We think you're right.
:30:39
Are you proposing
to leave this crime unavenged?
:30:41
We fight for the Philippines,
not for revenge.
:30:44
- Bernessa?
- Yes, sir?
:30:46
- We're moving out immediately.
- Yes, sir.
:30:48
You stay here with Miss Barnes.
You'll find food and blankets in the lean-to.
:30:52
- Take good care of her till we get back.
- Take care of her, indeed.
:30:55
- Do you think I'd stay here for a moment?
- You can't go back to the village.
:30:59
Furthermore, young man,
I am not accustomed...
:31:01
to being ordered about
by every young popinjay in uniform.
:31:04
- The men are ready, sir.
- Goodbye, Miss Barnes.
:31:07
Colonel...
:31:09
you really are not returning to the village?
:31:12
Really not.
:31:14
Then I shall give you
Buenaventura Bello's epitaph.
:31:17
Someday you may come back
into the village of Balintawak again...
:31:21
and put it over his grave.
:31:24
"The place matters not-
cypress or laurel or lily white
:31:29
"Scaffold or open plain
:31:32
"combat or martyrdom's plight"
:31:35
Those words were written by José Rizal,
the Philippines' greatest hero...
:31:39
on the night before he was executed
by the Spaniards.
:31:43
Remember those words.
Carry them in your heart...
:31:46
so that wherever men fight for freedom,
there it may be said:
:31:50
"Here lies Buenaventura Bello...
:31:54
"schoolteacher of Balintawak."
