:02:03
Sure you won't have tea?
:02:04
No, thanks. I don't want to be rude,
but I've got a date at 2.
:02:09
-If there are any questions....
-Of course, l'm sorry.
:02:15
Well, there is only
one question, actually.
:02:19
How would you feel about going back?
:02:23
Come again?
:02:25
Under the circumstances
it's a bit much...
:02:28
...but you have a unique
knowledge for our purpose.
:02:31
We'd love to have you with us.
:02:35
That's why you brought me here?
:02:37
To ask me this?
:02:39
Well, frankly, yes.
:02:41
I just got out of there.
:02:43
My escape was a miracle. Now
you want me to go back! Ridiculous!
:02:47
This is embarrassing--
:02:48
l don't belong to you.
l belong to the American Navy.
:02:52
Actually, Col. Green has taken
the matter up with your people.
:02:56
-With my people?
-Your Navy's turned you over to us.
:03:00
A signal arrived yesterday morning
from the Pacific...
:03:04
...authorizing your temporary transfer
of duty to Force 316.
:03:08
-They can't do this!
-I'm afraid they have.
:03:11
it was hard to break it to you.
:03:14
But they can't do this to me.
I mean it. My Navy's made a mistake!
:03:21
Look. I'm not a Navy commander.
I'm not even an officer.
:03:21
Look. l'm not a Navy commander.
l'm not even an officer.
:03:26
The whole thing's a fake. I'm just
an ordinary swab jockey, second class.
:03:33
When the Houston sunk, I made
it ashore with a real commander.
:03:37
We ran into a Japanese patrol.
He was killed.
:03:41
I figured it was just
a matter of time till I--
:03:44
So you changed uniforms
with a dead man.
:03:47
I thought officers would get better
treatment in prison camps.
:03:51
But with Saito, the officers
worked along with the rest.
:03:55
There's always the unexpected,
isn't there?
:03:59
I kind of got used
to being a commander...
