: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!
:40:03
No one will ever know or care
what happens to us.
:40:08
Give in, sir. Please!
:40:09
I'm adamant.
:40:11
l will not have an officer
from my battalion working as a coolie.
:40:15
-Time.
-All right.
:40:19
Please thank those concerned.
:40:22
Everybody in the hospital
contributed one piece.
:40:25
Reynolds stole the coconut.
:40:28
We'll be able to get you
food sometimes.
:40:31
We've bribed one of your guards.
:40:40
Goodbye, sir. And good luck.
:40:44
Many thanks.
:40:53
Did you say that American
was killed?
:40:55
Yes, sir. Shot and drowned.
:40:59
It's insane to plan escapes.
