Hughes, if this were your bridge,
how would you use the men?
1:05:04
Not the way they're doing it.
It's chaos, as you can see.
1:05:10
Uncoordinated activity.
1:05:12
No teamwork.
1:05:16
Some parties are working
against each other.
1:05:21
Yes.
1:05:25
l say, gentlemen, we have
a problem on our hands.
1:05:29
Thanks to the Japanese,
we command a rabble.
1:05:32
There's no order, no discipline.
1:05:35
-Our task is to rebuild the battalion.
-Yes, sir.
1:05:38
Which isn't going to be easy.
1:05:40
Fortunately, we have
the means at hand. The bridge.
1:05:44
-The bridge, sir?
-The bridge.
1:05:49
We'll teach them a lesson in Western
efficiency that'll put them to shame.
1:05:53
Show what a British
soldier is capable of.
1:05:56
Yes. I see your point, sir.
1:05:59
l know how difficult
it's going to be here...
1:06:02
...where you can't find what you need.
1:06:04
-There's the challenge.
-l beg your pardon, sir.
1:06:07
You really want them
to build the bridge?
1:06:10
You're not usually
so slow in the uptake.
1:06:13
l know our men.
You've got to keep them occupied.
1:06:16
If there weren't any work,
we'd invent some.
1:06:19
-That we would, sir.
-So we're lucky.
1:06:22
But it's going to be a proper bridge.
1:06:25
Here again I know the men.
1:06:27
It's essential that they
take pride in their job.
1:06:30
-Right, men?
-Yes, sir.
1:06:32
Reeves, you're
the key man here as engineer.
1:06:35
Tell me what you want and we'll
get it. Can we make a go of it?
1:06:39
-We'll do out best, sir.
-Fine.
1:06:42
We must draw up our plans...
1:06:45
...then arrange a conference
with Saito...
1:06:48
...and set him straight.
1:06:55
That takes care of all
the procedural matters.
