:57:00
I was not aware that...
:57:01
The guerrillas obviously have the complete
aid and sympathy of the people.
:57:05
We are interested only in a frank answer.
:57:09
There's no advantage
in cooperating with the Japanese.
:57:13
A man obeys all the Japanese laws.
When he's taken at random and shot...
:57:17
his next-door neighbor will think,
"It does a man no good to obey."
:57:21
He might as well die fighting.
:57:22
You're a conquered people.
What do you expect, independence?
:57:26
That's not a bad idea, Coroki.
:57:29
Miss Dalgado,
Tokyo has graciously consented...
:57:32
to grant full independence
to its little nephews and nieces.
:57:36
Now your people will see
the advantage of cooperating with us.
:57:39
Why, we will be able to hold these islands
with only two divisions.
:57:44
The granting of independence
must be an impressive occasion.
:57:48
- You will help us, Miss Dalgado?
- It will be a great honor, Your Excellency.
:57:54
Perhaps it would be a good idea
to hold the ceremonies at Balintawak.
:57:58
It's the birthplace
of Philippine independence.
:58:01
An intelligent suggestion.
:58:05
The arrangements will be left
in Col. Coroki's hands.
:58:09
To avoid any possible interference
with the ceremony...
:58:12
I suggest you keep the place secret.
:58:15
We wish to make that
a memorable occasion, Colonel.
:58:18
It will be a most memorable occasion,
Your Excellency.
:58:21
Yes. Make it memorable, Colonel.
:58:24
Most memorable.
:58:37
You can find room for this.
:58:41
- Captain, everything's okay in Balintawak.
- What did you tell them?
:58:44
- What you told me to say.
- Tell me exactly what you said.
:58:47
I told them nobody was to do anything
that might tip the Japs off.
:58:50
Everybody's supposed to do
their business, do what the Japs said...
:58:54
and when the shooting started,
everybody should scram.
:58:56
You told them the Japs
have promised us full independence?
:58:59
- What did they say?
- Nothing.
