:38:03
And the officers?
:38:05
Not so good.
They're still in detention.
:38:08
And Lieutenant Jennings....
Jennings is dead.
:38:13
-What?
-Killed, attempting to escape.
:38:15
Also two others,
Corporal Weaver and the American.
:38:19
Jennings. Poor, brave lad.
:38:23
I warned him, didn't l, Clipton?
:38:25
Look, sir, we haven't much time.
:38:32
I'm going to clean you up a little
while I talk.
:38:35
I've got something to tell you.
:38:37
I've just had a word with Saito.
:38:40
That man is the worst commanding
officer I've ever come across.
:38:43
Actually, I think he's mad.
Carry on.
:39:03
Blackmail!
:39:04
l know, sir, but he means it.
I'm sure he does.
:39:09
It's a question of face, pure and
simple. And he can't give in.
:39:13
It's still blackmail.
:39:17
Sir, you can't stand
much more of this.
:39:22
Wouldn't the officers be better off
working than suffocating in that hole?
:39:28
The men are doing a wonderful job.
They're going as slow as they dare.
:39:32
But Saito's cut their food rations...
:39:35
...and if he makes
the sick men work....
:39:37
Well, they're going to die.
That's all there is to it.
:39:41
Yes, Clipton, I understand. Truly.
:39:44
But don't you see?
It's a matter of principle.
:39:47
If we give in now,
there'll be no end to it. No.
:39:54
Sir, we're lost in the jungle,
a thousand miles from anywhere.
:39:58
We're under a man who'll stop at
nothing to get his way. Principle!
