-Sir, please! -WHISTLE OF FALLING BOMB | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
SILENCE | 0:02:30 | 0:02:31 | |
Sorry, sir. Are you all right? | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
Everything's OK, sir. There's no bombing. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
Are you sure you're all right? Dr Harris... | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
Wait a minute. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
I'm all right. I'm fine. I thought... | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
Get some sleep, sir. You're first flight tomorrow. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
Yeah. All right, Sergeant. Fine. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
Fine. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |

Red Two to Leader. Message received. Out. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
What's the matter? Didn't you hear? | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
'Leader to Red Two. What is your trouble?' | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
Didn't you hear the orders? | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
'Are you receiving me?' | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
Can't you hear the orders? | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
'Acknowledge! Over.' | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |

BOMBS EXPLODE | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
OK, Doc. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:42 | |
Got him? | 0:06:22 | 0:06:23 | |
Yep. Gently does it. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
Hello, Doc. See? The conquering hero comes. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
-Cannon shell? -Ack-ack. I made a tourniquet. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
Thanks. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
Have you released the tourniquet at all? | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
-No, Doc. -Good. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:43 | |
-How soon? -A couple of days, sir. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
A couple of days?! | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
It's probably chewed up the cables inside, sir, and... | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
Just get it fixed! Quick! | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
That'll be all right till hospital. We'll try not to shake you up. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:14 | |
Shake away, Doc. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
-Feeling good, eh? -I feel fine. So would you. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
With a piece out of my arm? | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
Sure, if it meant avoiding flying with a lunatic. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
Where's that fool going? | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
BOTH SHOUT WARNINGS | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
Round the bend, Nobby boy. Right round! | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
All right, driver. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
-Well, Doc? -Hello, sir. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:01 | |
The arm's all right. He's going to Calcutta tomorrow. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
But you won't see him for a while. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
I guessed that. I've requested a replacement. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
We're short on navigators. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
-I want to discuss our problem boy. -Forrester. What about him? | 0:08:14 | 0:08:20 | |
-His navigator say what happened? -Yes. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
-Well? -Not my department, sir. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
I think it is. You know this isn't the first time. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:34 | |
-Nothing wrong with his nerve? -No. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
Except he's round the bend. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
Going in without orders and pranging ack-ack guns? | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
-Could be called a good show! -Not by me! | 0:08:42 | 0:08:47 | |
I'd say he wants out. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
I know he volunteered. I know he's a good man. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:54 | |
-But he must go. -You think he's cracking. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
-I think he cracked years ago. -His record shows otherwise. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:03 | |
First-class fighter pilot, DSO and the rest. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:07 | |
He's taken a few chances in his time. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:11 | |
But were they always necessary? | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
He's giving people the willies. He'll have to go. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:18 | |
If what you say is true, sir, that'll finish him. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
-Have you any other suggestions? -What about talking to him? | 0:09:25 | 0:09:30 | |
-I have! -What did he say? | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
Nothing. He made me feel a complete fool. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
I've noticed he has that effect. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
All the same, sir, could I talk to him? | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
All right. Don't be too long about it. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:47 | |
See you at dinner. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |

ALARM CLOCK RINGS | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
You find it hot?! | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
It's spring. The heat begins in June. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
-The rain. -Bet you love that! | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
-I don't. -You'd get warmed up. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
-Get some letters written. -I write home daily. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:08 | |
Only once daily? You're slipping. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
PEN SCRATCHES ON PAPER | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
Heat affects people different ways. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
Take me - I watch my health, take plenty of salt. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
The real secret's one's mental attitude. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
I've got responsibilities. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
Wife in England, family, an important job. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
But it's no use moping. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
You flying people aren't interested in anything but flying. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:41 | |
There's a world, people. You don't care. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
You need a home, children, a thought for the future. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
If you were married, with a wife to go back to afterwards... | 0:11:49 | 0:11:55 | |

WHISTLE OF FALLING BOMB | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
HUGE EXPLOSIONS | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
What? What? | 0:13:23 | 0:13:24 | |
What's the matter? | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
Oh. I thought you said something. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:35 | |
That was hours ago. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
I said, that's your problem - no outside responsibilities. | 0:13:56 | 0:14:00 | |
You want a wife and family. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
If you were married and knew that when the war's over... | 0:14:02 | 0:14:08 | |
CHILD SPEAKS | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
-Hello. -Hello. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
-Been looking for you. -Something you wanted? | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
Care for a trip out of camp? | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
Village across the plain. Christian community. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
Why would I be interested in a Christian community? | 0:15:36 | 0:15:40 | |
Just a trip. Half an hour. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
-You go. -Really nice people. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
Very interesting. Pure Burmese. They speak English. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
I buy fruit there. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
Bring me back a nice cold melon, Doc. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
-What's this? -To kill or not to, that's all. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:06 | |
That's... CHILD SHOUTS | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
Strange how fascinating death can be. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
Very. That why you became a doctor? | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
No. I try to keep my patients alive. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
"Thou shalt not kill, but needn't strive | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
"officiously to keep alive." | 0:16:41 | 0:16:42 | |
-Ever hear that saying? -Frequently. Come on, get in. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:47 | |
I see. A nice jeep ride, a cosy chat, a medical inspection. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:52 | |
OK, Doc. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:56 | |
Very tactfully arranged. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
I must gain my patient's confidence somehow. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
CHILDREN WHOOP AND SHOUT | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
Another patient. That's the dispensary - I'll show you later. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:32 | |
-HE SPEAKS BURMESE -Off, you little devils! | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
Here, this is for you. Now hop it! | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
-Wonderful kids. I love them! -What is this place? | 0:18:25 | 0:18:30 | |
A planter's once. Now it's Miss McNabb's. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
-Who's she? -Missionary. School teacher. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
She won't be here today. Here's Dorothy. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
-Good afternoon. -Here's a friend, Dorothy. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
Squadron Leader Forrester. A pilot. Dorothy's from Rangoon. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:48 | |
-Glad to know you. -How do you do? | 0:18:48 | 0:18:49 | |
-Dorothy, we're thirsty men. -Of course. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
Sit down, and I'll get something cool to drink. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
Very kind of you. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
Lime juice. The lime juice is wonderful! | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
-Whatever you wish. -Lime juice is fine. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
-Where's Anna? -At the dispensary. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
-She'll be back soon. -Good. Here's some rice. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
Thank you, Doctor, thank you. Please sit, and I'll get the lime. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:16 | |
Thank you. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
I try to bring something. Fruit's all right, but not always. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:26 | |
They can't buy food. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
They came here stripped of everything. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
All the way from Rangoon. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
Can you imagine what it was like? | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
Hundreds of miles. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
Don't know how any of them got through alive. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
GENTLE CLINKING | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
I hope I didn't waken you. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
Uh...sorry. I fell asleep for a moment. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:26 | |
Several moments. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
Where's the doctor? | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
He and Dorothy went to the dispensary. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:35 | |
I'm Anna. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
How do you do? | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
My name's Forrester. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
I know. They sent me to see if you were all right. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:49 | |
POURS DRINK | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
They said you fell asleep before you had a drink. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:02 | |
How rude of me. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
Very, very rude. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
But no-one minded at all. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
Please sit down. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:16 | |
Thank you. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
The best lime I've ever tasted. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
When one is thirsty, it's always tastier. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:35 | |
-You've been in Burma long? -About three months. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:44 | |
-Do you like it? -I don't know really. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
Airfields are all pretty similar. Except it's hotter here. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:53 | |
-You'll like it when it's cool. -I don't dislike it. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:58 | |
-I don't know it. -No-one knows all of Burma. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:03 | |
Rice and rubies - that's all I knew about Burma before coming here. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:10 | |
There are stones here you can buy. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
-That's very kind of you... -It isn't far. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:18 | |
Well...I think the doctor was wanting to get back. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:23 | |
No! He always goes late. There's plenty of time. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:28 | |
All right. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:31 | |
I'd be glad. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
These are rubies, sir. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
Yes. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
These are white sapphires. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
And these are golden amethysts. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
They're very nice. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:52 | |
HE SPEAKS BURMESE | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
Tomorrow they'll try to have a bigger selection - | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
zircons and emeralds, perhaps. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
That's very kind of them. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
I'll try to come. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
SPEAKS BURMESE | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
Well... | 0:23:23 | 0:23:25 | |
..thank you. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
-Please. Thank you. Goodbye, sir. -Thank you very much. Goodbye. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:37 | |
Goodbye. Thank you. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
You didn't want to buy stones, did you? | 0:23:44 | 0:23:49 | |
Not really, no. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
-You're the first officer not to. -Am I? | 0:23:50 | 0:23:54 | |
They all want jewels. I assumed you did, so I took you. | 0:23:54 | 0:24:00 | |
-You should have said. -It was very interesting. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 | |
I just have no-one to give jewels to. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
No-one? I'm sorry. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
No need to be sorry. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
The doctor says your sister's from Rangoon. You too? | 0:24:14 | 0:24:19 | |
-Yes. I was at the university. -Studying what? | 0:24:19 | 0:24:23 | |
The humanities. It's not much use here. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
I've learnt some nursing. I help the doctor. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:30 | |
-Are many sick? -I'm afraid so. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
-How do they feel about us? -They've been told it's necessary. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:39 | |
We were also told it's necessary. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
The river's down there. We swim there. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:50 | |
Any crocodiles? | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
No. No crocodiles. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
It's very nice here. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
Next time I fly over, it will seem more friendly. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:04 | |
Didn't it seem friendly before? | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
I never thought about it. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
You people hate it here, don't you? You long for home. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:16 | |
-I don't. -Not ever? | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
Nope. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:21 | |
Well, I guess the doctor will want to return to camp. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:29 | |
-Oi, oi. Here he is. -MONKEY YELPS | 0:25:43 | 0:25:48 | |
-Who's breaking the good news? -I will. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:53 | |
-Morning, Sergeant. -Morning, sir. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
-When will it be ready? -Tonight. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
You'd better change the oil cooler in this engine. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:03 | |
Not me, sir. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
ENGINE IDLES | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
What are you talking about? | 0:26:09 | 0:26:11 | |
Our release came through last night - me and Clarke. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:17 | |
-Who's Clarke? -Me, sir. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
-Oh, Nobby. -Yes, sir. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:22 | |
Been together from the start. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
Congratulations. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
Oh, Forrester. I couldn't find you anywhere. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:42 | |
This is Carrington, your new navigator. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:47 | |
-Squadron Leader Forrester. -How do you do, sir? | 0:26:47 | 0:26:51 | |
Who told you to move in here? | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
The messing officer. Everywhere's full up. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:58 | |
Anyway, it's only for tonight. I'm leaving tomorrow. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
-Everything's a mess just now. -So I see. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
-I seem to have put up a black. -He's impossible. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:40 | |
We're all hot and three is too many, | 0:27:40 | 0:27:44 | |
but he needn't be so boorish. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
Still, the messing officer could have consulted him. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:51 | |
Forrester invites that sort of treatment. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
He antagonises people. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
Thank goodness I'm a wingless wonder. I don't envy you. | 0:27:56 | 0:28:01 | |
-Why? -Everyone knows he's crazy. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
Everyone. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:05 | |
-Ah! -Hello. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:18 | |
-I've got an invitation for you. -Oh, yes? | 0:28:18 | 0:28:22 | |
Miss McNabb, the village missionary. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
-Dinner tonight. -No, thanks. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:28 | |
I take rice and meat. Their curry's delicious. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:32 | |
-No, thanks. -See you at seven. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:35 | |
I said no, thanks! | 0:28:35 | 0:28:37 | |
SINGING WAFTS FROM INSIDE | 0:28:43 | 0:28:45 | |
You take this. I'll take the rice. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:49 | |
WOMAN SINGS "ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS" | 0:28:49 | 0:28:56 | |
Come on. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:02 | |
# ..one in charity | 0:29:02 | 0:29:06 | |
# Onward, Christian soldiers | 0:29:07 | 0:29:13 | |
# Marching as to war | 0:29:13 | 0:29:16 | |
-# With the cross of Jesus... # -Good evening, Dr Harris. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:22 | |
Good evening, Dorothy. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:24 | |
-Good evening, Mr Forrester. -Good evening. | 0:29:24 | 0:29:27 | |
-For the kitchen. -How kind. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:29 | |
I'll be in shortly. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:32 | |
-SCOTTISH ACCENT: Dr Harris! -Good evening, Miss McNabb. | 0:29:33 | 0:29:37 | |
-Can I introduce... -Squadron Leader Forrester. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:40 | |
It's an honour and a pleasure. | 0:29:40 | 0:29:43 | |
-Glad you could come. -You're very kind. | 0:29:43 | 0:29:46 | |
Nobody said you were so handsome. | 0:29:46 | 0:29:49 | |
Let me introduce you. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:51 | |
This is Anna's mother. | 0:29:51 | 0:29:53 | |
-How do you do? -She can't answer. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:57 | |
She hasn't spoken since the Japs bombed us in Rangoon. | 0:29:57 | 0:30:02 | |
I'm sorry. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:03 | |
-Hello, Mr Fang. -A pleasure, Doctor. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:06 | |
-Mr Fang. -How do you do? | 0:30:06 | 0:30:09 | |
Pleased to meet a distinguished officer. | 0:30:09 | 0:30:12 | |
Mr Fang studied English at the university. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:16 | |
English Literature, to be precise. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:18 | |
Doctor, I'm relying on you for ideas for Easter hymns. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:24 | |
-I've thought of nothing else. -Och!! Mr Fang... | 0:30:24 | 0:30:28 | |
Excuse me. Miss McNabb? | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
-Another glass, please. -Certainly. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:32 | |
-I'm glad you came. -I'm glad you're here. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:37 | |
-Miss McNabb was kind to invite me. -Mr Forrester! | 0:30:37 | 0:30:41 | |
That foul, benighted city, Calcutta - | 0:30:41 | 0:30:44 | |
the only good to come out of it was this whisky from the doctor. | 0:30:44 | 0:30:51 | |
I don't drink | 0:30:51 | 0:30:52 | |
but it won't harm you while waiting for dinner. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:57 | |
Thank you, Miss McNabb. | 0:30:57 | 0:30:59 | |
-What do you fly? -Fighter bombers. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:02 | |
I say they're wicked, devilish things. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:05 | |
True. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:07 | |
You're one of the quiet, thoughtful ones, Mr Forrester. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:13 | |
You didn't tell me that, Anna. She's very shy. | 0:31:13 | 0:31:18 | |
Drink up. Dinner won't be long. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:21 | |
I said I'd be back. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:26 | |
I hoped you would. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:28 | |
So, you're shy. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:29 | |
Compared to Miss McNabb, everyone's shy. | 0:31:29 | 0:31:32 | |
She's quite a character. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:34 | |
We love her. It's thanks to her we got here from Rangoon. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:42 | |
The doctor told me. It's incredible. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:45 | |
Strange things happen during the war. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:48 | |
Yes... | 0:31:48 | 0:31:50 | |
..strange landing places... | 0:31:50 | 0:31:52 | |
..strange meetings. | 0:31:53 | 0:31:55 | |
Dinner! Dinner! | 0:32:05 | 0:32:07 | |
It's delicious. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:11 | |
Shall we go? | 0:32:12 | 0:32:14 | |
Mr Forrester, you're not eating! Don't you like it? | 0:32:21 | 0:32:26 | |
It's terrific. I'm full. | 0:32:26 | 0:32:28 | |
I've been admiring your tablecloth. | 0:32:28 | 0:32:31 | |
You have an eye for fine things. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:34 | |
The mission girls worked it for Miss McNabb. | 0:32:34 | 0:32:38 | |
For her 21st birthday. | 0:32:38 | 0:32:40 | |
Take no notice of him! I'm not ashamed of my age. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:46 | |
For my 45th birthday. | 0:32:46 | 0:32:48 | |
And all the way from Rangoon I kept saying, | 0:32:48 | 0:32:52 | |
"Whatever you lose, you won't lose the girls' tablecloth." | 0:32:52 | 0:32:57 | |
-It's a beautiful thing. -Aye. | 0:32:57 | 0:33:00 | |
300 of us died on that journey, Mr Forrester. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:04 | |
That's how old I am. | 0:33:06 | 0:33:09 | |
I'll see you're decorated if it's the last thing I do. | 0:33:09 | 0:33:14 | |
Och, don't gab so. Give Mr Forrester some tea, Anna. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:19 | |
-I'm serious. -You want to decorate someone? | 0:33:19 | 0:33:22 | |
Decorate the good Lord. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:24 | |
Then you'd be talking, for sure. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:27 | |
-I'll see what I can do. -You think about Easter. | 0:33:27 | 0:33:33 | |
What's your favourite Easter hymn, Mr Forrester? | 0:33:33 | 0:33:36 | |
Oh, Easter hymn? | 0:33:37 | 0:33:39 | |
Well, uh... | 0:33:39 | 0:33:42 | |
..well, uh... | 0:33:42 | 0:33:44 | |
..uh... | 0:33:44 | 0:33:46 | |
"Hallelujah", isn't it? | 0:33:46 | 0:33:48 | |
Yes. "Hallelujah". | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
"Hallelujah! - Jesus Christ is risen today." | 0:33:50 | 0:33:55 | |
Aye, it's splendid. | 0:33:55 | 0:33:57 | |
You're well brought up, Mr Forrester. | 0:33:57 | 0:34:00 | |
Come on! We'll all sing it. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:03 | |
ORGAN STARTS UP | 0:34:09 | 0:34:11 | |
-# -Jesus Christ is risen today | 0:34:18 | 0:34:23 | |

-# -Unto Christ our heavenly King | 0:35:06 | 0:35:12 | |
-# -Hallelujah... -# | 0:35:12 | 0:35:16 | |
ROAR APPROACHES | 0:35:16 | 0:35:19 | |
What is it? | 0:35:22 | 0:35:23 | |
Jap bombers, looking for the air strip. | 0:35:23 | 0:35:27 | |
There's too much light. Shut the door. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:30 | |
-# -But the pain He endured... -# ROARING OVERHEAD | 0:35:30 | 0:35:35 | |
-# -Hallelujah. -# | 0:35:35 | 0:35:41 | |
There's quite a bunch. | 0:35:43 | 0:35:45 | |
-I should be at the dispensary. -Come on then! | 0:35:45 | 0:35:49 | |
WHISTLING Look out! | 0:35:49 | 0:35:53 | |
ANNA'S MOTHER SCREAMS CONTUOUSLY | 0:35:54 | 0:35:58 | |
QUIET FOLLOWED BY LOW HUM | 0:35:58 | 0:36:03 | |
ENGINES ROAR OVERHEAD | 0:36:03 | 0:36:06 | |
WHISTLING LOOK OUT! | 0:36:08 | 0:36:10 | |
EXPLOSION | 0:36:10 | 0:36:12 | |
QUIET DESCENDS ROAR FADES INTO DISTANCE | 0:36:13 | 0:36:16 | |
Anna! | 0:36:19 | 0:36:21 | |
ANNA! | 0:36:21 | 0:36:23 | |
Anna! | 0:36:26 | 0:36:27 | |
Are you all right? | 0:36:47 | 0:36:49 | |
FAINTLY: Yes. | 0:36:49 | 0:36:51 | |
Are you sure? | 0:36:51 | 0:36:53 | |
-Are you all right here? -Yes. All right. | 0:36:54 | 0:36:58 | |
Come then. We're needed in the village. | 0:36:57 | 0:37:01 | |
Come on, Mr Fang! | 0:37:01 | 0:37:03 | |
BABBLE OF VOICES | 0:37:04 | 0:37:07 | |
Anna, help out in there. I'm coming. | 0:37:16 | 0:37:19 | |
-You bring casualties along here. -OK! | 0:37:19 | 0:37:24 | |
SCREAMS PIERCE THE AIR | 0:37:24 | 0:37:26 | |
CHICKEN SQUAWKS What's going on? | 0:37:33 | 0:37:35 | |
-They escape Japanese. -The Japs aren't coming back! | 0:37:35 | 0:37:39 | |
They don't know. They've been bombed before. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:43 | |
Attend to this one now. I'll finish that dressing. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:03 | |
RATTLING | 0:38:18 | 0:38:20 | |
-Anna, go back and lie down. -I'm all right, Doctor. | 0:38:26 | 0:38:30 | |
No, you're suffering from shock. Off you go. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:35 | |
SHOUTING | 0:38:43 | 0:38:45 | |
NOISE BUILDS | 0:38:56 | 0:38:59 | |
SCREAMING | 0:39:04 | 0:39:06 | |
SCREAMING | 0:39:11 | 0:39:14 | |
CHAOS AND SCREAMING | 0:39:22 | 0:39:25 | |
I ordered her to the bungalow. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:45 | |
-The crowd swamped her. -I'm all right. | 0:39:45 | 0:39:48 | |
Lie down for a while. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:50 | |
Put that blanket over her. | 0:39:50 | 0:39:53 | |
I must get back. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:55 | |
That last lot sounded near the camp. | 0:39:55 | 0:39:58 | |
-I'll go too. -You can do more here. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:02 | |
-I'll call for you tomorrow. -Right. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:05 | |
Mr Forrester? | 0:40:07 | 0:40:09 | |
-Please hold her while I finish. -Surely. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:16 | |
Excuse me for asking a personal question, Mr Forrester, | 0:40:16 | 0:40:20 | |
but are you married? | 0:40:20 | 0:40:23 | |
No. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:25 | |
I'm glad. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:27 | |
WAILING OUTSIDE | 0:40:28 | 0:40:30 | |
Do you hear? | 0:40:30 | 0:40:32 | |
Yes, I hear. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:34 | |
They're not like us, made of ice. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:37 | |
They express their sorrow and fear. | 0:40:37 | 0:40:40 | |
They don't leave it inside, as you or I might...to rot. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:46 | |
That'll be all. | 0:40:49 | 0:40:51 | |
Take her to the other children, and I'll get Anna a drink. | 0:40:51 | 0:40:56 | |
MAN SPEAKS BURMESE | 0:41:15 | 0:41:17 | |
The doc's here. I have to go. | 0:41:37 | 0:41:41 | |
Please don't go. I have something to tell you. | 0:41:41 | 0:41:45 | |
SPEAKS BURMESE | 0:41:50 | 0:41:52 | |
MAN SPEAKS BURMESE | 0:41:56 | 0:41:58 | |
You had something to say. | 0:42:05 | 0:42:07 | |
It wasn't much. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:09 | |
Tell me. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:11 | |
It was something to give you. | 0:42:11 | 0:42:14 | |
Open it. It's for you. | 0:42:17 | 0:42:19 | |
It's for you. | 0:42:32 | 0:42:34 | |
You have no-one to give it to? | 0:42:36 | 0:42:40 | |
No. | 0:42:39 | 0:42:41 | |
I'm glad, because now you can keep it for me. | 0:42:41 | 0:42:46 | |
I can't say anything. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:52 | |
Don't say anything. | 0:42:52 | 0:42:54 | |
There's nothing to say. | 0:42:54 | 0:42:56 | |
It's only a little thing. | 0:42:56 | 0:42:59 | |
Anna... | 0:43:08 | 0:43:10 | |
Early in the war, I fell in love. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:22 | |
When I got leave, we went to London and got married. | 0:43:26 | 0:43:31 | |
That night... | 0:43:31 | 0:43:33 | |
..while we were out having dinner... | 0:43:34 | 0:43:37 | |
..there was an air raid. | 0:43:41 | 0:43:43 | |
The building we were in got a direct hit. | 0:43:43 | 0:43:48 | |
She was killed. | 0:43:51 | 0:43:53 | |
After that, I didn't want to go on living. | 0:43:59 | 0:44:04 | |
That should be easy in war, but it wasn't. | 0:44:06 | 0:44:10 | |
I wanted to die, but got medals. | 0:44:10 | 0:44:13 | |
I could see the trouble in your face. | 0:44:15 | 0:44:19 | |
It is not good to die inside. | 0:44:19 | 0:44:22 | |
It's like living a bad dream. | 0:44:22 | 0:44:25 | |
We bury our dead in the earth, not in our hearts. | 0:44:25 | 0:44:30 | |
Is the dream over now? | 0:44:30 | 0:44:32 | |
I think so. | 0:44:32 | 0:44:34 | |
You spoke about never going home. | 0:44:35 | 0:44:38 | |
-What did you mean? -Just that. | 0:44:38 | 0:44:41 | |
Would you rather stay here? | 0:44:41 | 0:44:44 | |
I never want to leave. | 0:44:44 | 0:44:47 | |
Will you always come back? | 0:44:47 | 0:44:49 | |
Always. | 0:44:49 | 0:44:52 | |
Then I will always be here. | 0:44:52 | 0:44:55 | |
Good morning, sir. | 0:45:27 | 0:45:29 | |
-Hello, Bill. Sit down. -Thanks. | 0:45:29 | 0:45:32 | |
Rather a dour job for you today. | 0:45:32 | 0:45:35 | |
I know you won't mind. | 0:45:35 | 0:45:37 | |
You haven't flown with your new navigator yet? | 0:45:37 | 0:45:41 | |
No, sir. | 0:45:41 | 0:45:42 | |
I'm sending a body to Meiktila. | 0:45:42 | 0:45:45 | |
Since you're trying him out, we'll kill two birds with one stone. | 0:45:45 | 0:45:51 | |
Sure. Who's the body? | 0:45:51 | 0:45:53 | |
Blower. | 0:45:53 | 0:45:55 | |
Blower? It'll be a pleasure. | 0:45:54 | 0:45:57 | |
Don't like him? | 0:45:57 | 0:45:59 | |
-We're sharing a tent. -I see. | 0:45:59 | 0:46:02 | |
He's a good bloke. | 0:46:02 | 0:46:04 | |
Cambridge man - physics. Very clever, I believe. | 0:46:04 | 0:46:07 | |
Didn't know that. | 0:46:09 | 0:46:11 | |
I've told Blower he's going with you. | 0:46:11 | 0:46:14 | |
I bet that thrilled him. | 0:46:14 | 0:46:17 | |
There's nothing wrong with Blower. | 0:46:17 | 0:46:19 | |
He's like us all - needs a change. | 0:46:19 | 0:46:22 | |
Yes, sir. | 0:46:22 | 0:46:24 | |
GRUNTS AND STRAINS | 0:46:31 | 0:46:33 | |
Hear you're to be my passenger. | 0:46:35 | 0:46:38 | |
-How long will it take? -Carrington might know. | 0:46:40 | 0:46:44 | |
I thought he'd be here. | 0:46:44 | 0:46:46 | |
-He's at the crew tent. -Oh. | 0:46:46 | 0:46:49 | |
Will you be ready soon? | 0:46:51 | 0:46:53 | |
I have to pack. | 0:46:53 | 0:46:55 | |
So I see. | 0:46:55 | 0:46:57 | |
-There's no great hurry. -I'd like to pack properly. | 0:46:58 | 0:47:02 | |
-Can I help? -No. | 0:47:02 | 0:47:04 | |
Don't touch anything. | 0:47:04 | 0:47:06 | |
I need to check everything's here. | 0:47:06 | 0:47:09 | |
Can I get anything? | 0:47:09 | 0:47:11 | |
You'll need your comforts at Meiktila. | 0:47:11 | 0:47:14 | |
That's not funny. | 0:47:14 | 0:47:15 | |
Wasn't meant to be. | 0:47:15 | 0:47:17 | |
Oh, hello, Carrington. | 0:47:17 | 0:47:19 | |
-We've got a job. -I heard. | 0:47:19 | 0:47:22 | |
We'll go to Intelligence to make your flight plan. | 0:47:22 | 0:47:26 | |
-Can you be ready by 12:00? -Yes. | 0:47:26 | 0:47:29 | |
It's only a small trip. | 0:47:29 | 0:47:32 | |
Interesting for you, though... | 0:47:32 | 0:47:34 | |
Are you ready? | 0:47:45 | 0:47:46 | |
Rigged up a hammock for you in the bomb bay. | 0:47:46 | 0:47:51 | |
Everything OK? | 0:48:53 | 0:48:55 | |
All OK. | 0:48:56 | 0:48:57 | |
Passenger asleep. | 0:49:02 | 0:49:03 | |
He's lucky. | 0:49:05 | 0:49:06 | |
By the way, this is Jap territory here, up to the river. | 0:49:06 | 0:49:13 | |
They're welcome to it. | 0:49:18 | 0:49:20 | |
Over there. | 0:49:31 | 0:49:33 | |
Mandalay. | 0:49:33 | 0:49:34 | |
"Where dawn comes up like thunder." | 0:49:34 | 0:49:37 | |
That's it. Like a look after we've delivered him? | 0:49:37 | 0:49:41 | |
Roger. | 0:49:41 | 0:49:43 | |
Starboard engine. | 0:49:50 | 0:49:52 | |
ENGINE SPLUTTERS | 0:50:03 | 0:50:05 | |
Starboard fuel off! | 0:50:05 | 0:50:07 | |
-We're going back! -Roger. | 0:50:12 | 0:50:14 | |
Course 209. | 0:50:14 | 0:50:17 | |
Mayday, mayday, mayday. | 0:50:34 | 0:50:37 | |
Kung Kai Cable to Scuttle, starboard engine on fire. | 0:50:37 | 0:50:41 | |
Cannot extinguish. | 0:50:41 | 0:50:42 | |
My approximate position is 90 miles south-east of you | 0:50:42 | 0:50:47 | |
on course 209. | 0:50:47 | 0:50:49 | |
Mayday. | 0:50:49 | 0:50:50 | |
-Hold on, we're going down. -Roger. | 0:51:02 | 0:51:05 | |
Mayday, mayday, mayday. Kung Kai Cable to Scuttle. | 0:51:05 | 0:51:09 | |
Crash landing, crash landing. | 0:51:09 | 0:51:11 | |
Kung Kai Cable to Scuttle. | 0:51:11 | 0:51:14 | |
ENGINE DROWNS OUT WORDS | 0:51:13 | 0:51:16 | |
Mayday, mayday. | 0:51:16 | 0:51:18 | |
1-2-3-4-5, 5-4-3-2-1... | 0:51:18 | 0:51:21 | |
Mayday, mayday. | 0:51:21 | 0:51:23 | |
Kung Kai Cable to Scuttle, we're preparing to crash land. | 0:51:23 | 0:51:28 | |
Crash landing, crash landing, mayday, mayday, mayday... | 0:51:28 | 0:51:32 | |
ENGINE SCREAMS | 0:51:32 | 0:51:34 | |
FIRE CRACKLES | 0:51:51 | 0:51:54 | |
Aaagh! | 0:51:58 | 0:51:59 | |
Carrington! | 0:52:01 | 0:52:03 | |
GASPS | 0:52:03 | 0:52:05 | |
MOANS | 0:52:11 | 0:52:14 | |
AMMUNITION EXPLODES | 0:52:19 | 0:52:22 | |
Let's get him out of here! | 0:52:22 | 0:52:25 | |
SCREAMS | 0:52:25 | 0:52:27 | |
CARRINGTON CRIES OUT | 0:52:46 | 0:52:48 | |
Got anything for him? | 0:52:49 | 0:52:51 | |
Got some morphine here, I think. | 0:52:51 | 0:52:54 | |
Get it quick. | 0:52:54 | 0:52:55 | |
Give him this. Get him into the shade. | 0:53:02 | 0:53:05 | |
Hello, Kung Kai Cable, this is Scuttle. | 0:53:05 | 0:53:10 | |
Your QDM - 209. I say again, 209. | 0:53:10 | 0:53:15 | |
How do you hear me? Over. | 0:53:15 | 0:53:18 | |
SILENCE | 0:53:18 | 0:53:20 | |
-Keep trying. -Yes, sir. | 0:53:24 | 0:53:27 | |
Hello, Kung Kai Cable, this is Scuttle. | 0:53:27 | 0:53:31 | |
Your QDM - 209... | 0:53:31 | 0:53:33 | |
How do you feel now? | 0:54:06 | 0:54:08 | |
GASPS | 0:54:08 | 0:54:10 | |
I'd like a drink. | 0:54:10 | 0:54:12 | |
Got a nice Scotch and soda, Blower? | 0:54:14 | 0:54:17 | |
I suppose you mean water. | 0:54:17 | 0:54:19 | |
We'll have to be careful. There's only the thermos and the bottle. | 0:54:19 | 0:54:24 | |
How's that? | 0:54:38 | 0:54:40 | |
We were on course. | 0:54:42 | 0:54:44 | |
Don't you worry about that. | 0:54:44 | 0:54:47 | |
You take it easy. | 0:54:47 | 0:54:49 | |
-Did they get a fix on us? -Can't say. | 0:54:49 | 0:54:53 | |
-I kept calling. -They could deduce our position. | 0:54:53 | 0:54:57 | |
Time alone should help them. | 0:54:57 | 0:54:59 | |
Parker saw the flight plan. | 0:54:59 | 0:55:02 | |
What's the time? | 0:55:02 | 0:55:03 | |
Hmm? | 0:55:03 | 0:55:05 | |
Four minutes past two. | 0:55:05 | 0:55:07 | |
Not quite four hours till dark. | 0:55:07 | 0:55:10 | |
They'll find us. | 0:55:10 | 0:55:12 | |
You think so? | 0:55:12 | 0:55:13 | |
Certainly. They'll rescue us in no time. | 0:55:13 | 0:55:17 | |
Meanwhile, let's get organised. See what you have. | 0:55:17 | 0:55:21 | |
I've got nothing. | 0:55:21 | 0:55:23 | |
You must have something. | 0:55:23 | 0:55:25 | |
-The smallest trifle may be useful. -OK. | 0:55:25 | 0:55:28 | |
Medical card, three rupees... | 0:55:31 | 0:55:34 | |
Yeah? | 0:55:34 | 0:55:36 | |
-..handkerchief... -Mm-hmm. | 0:55:36 | 0:55:38 | |
What's that? | 0:55:42 | 0:55:44 | |
You're not buying those things? They're phoney! | 0:55:49 | 0:55:53 | |
If they got a fix, which I doubt, | 0:56:04 | 0:56:08 | |
it's possible they'll locate us here. | 0:56:08 | 0:56:11 | |
-Supposing they do, what then? -They'd rescue us. | 0:56:11 | 0:56:15 | |
They haven't got helicopters. | 0:56:15 | 0:56:17 | |
They could drop supplies. | 0:56:17 | 0:56:19 | |
We can't camp here. It's Jap territory. | 0:56:19 | 0:56:23 | |
But... What are you getting at? | 0:56:23 | 0:56:26 | |
Mind if I use your hat? | 0:56:26 | 0:56:29 | |
Carrington, are you awake? | 0:56:41 | 0:56:43 | |
Yes, I'm awake. | 0:56:43 | 0:56:45 | |
You've heard what Forrester said? | 0:56:45 | 0:56:47 | |
Yes, I heard. | 0:56:47 | 0:56:49 | |
We must be careful. | 0:56:49 | 0:56:51 | |
Knowing him as I do, we can't rely on his judgment. | 0:56:51 | 0:56:56 | |
He got us down all right. | 0:56:56 | 0:56:59 | |
We would've been killed with some pilots. | 0:56:59 | 0:57:02 | |
He's a good pilot, but we're not flying. | 0:57:02 | 0:57:06 | |
He's reckless. | 0:57:06 | 0:57:08 | |
I'm not taking any chances. | 0:57:08 | 0:57:10 | |
If we're calm, we'll be all right. | 0:57:10 | 0:57:14 | |
I need your support. | 0:57:14 | 0:57:16 | |
Got any more of those tablets? | 0:57:16 | 0:57:18 | |
Not many. We'll ration them. | 0:57:20 | 0:57:22 | |
-What's this for? -A signal for the searchers. | 0:58:36 | 0:58:40 | |
What searchers? The Japs? | 0:58:40 | 0:58:42 | |
I mean OUR people. | 0:58:42 | 0:58:45 | |
It's time we looked at the facts. | 0:58:46 | 0:58:50 | |
I don't mind. | 0:58:49 | 0:58:51 | |
The facts seem straightforward enough. | 0:58:51 | 0:58:54 | |
Our people know we crash-landed. | 0:58:53 | 0:58:56 | |
They're bound to know our approximate position. | 0:58:56 | 0:59:00 | |
We'll look after Carrington, keep our heads... | 0:58:59 | 0:59:04 | |
-And hope for the best? -Why not? | 0:59:04 | 0:59:07 | |
They might not find us for a month. | 0:59:07 | 0:59:11 | |
-How long will the water last? -Under a month. | 0:59:11 | 0:59:15 | |
If we ration ourselves strictly, Carrington too, | 0:59:15 | 0:59:19 | |
I suppose it might last three days. | 0:59:19 | 0:59:22 | |
Though in this heat... What are you saying? | 0:59:22 | 0:59:27 | |
We should forget about setting up house here and start walking. | 0:59:27 | 0:59:32 | |
Walking?! Are you serious? | 0:59:32 | 0:59:35 | |
Look, we're roughly 30 miles north-east of the river. | 0:59:35 | 0:59:40 | |
This country's murder to cross, but we should make it in four days. | 0:59:40 | 0:59:46 | |
We'd reach our own patrol area. | 0:59:46 | 0:59:49 | |
And Carrington? You expect him to walk? | 0:59:49 | 0:59:53 | |
We'll carry him. | 0:59:55 | 0:59:56 | |
-How? -We'll make a stretcher. | 0:59:56 | 0:59:59 | |
There's plenty of bamboo. We've got that parachute harness. | 0:59:59 | 1:00:03 | |
Carry a stretcher under this sun? | 1:00:03 | 1:00:06 | |
-We'll kill ourselves! -We'll go at night. | 1:00:06 | 1:00:10 | |
-Ever carried a stretcher far? -I'll try - even if it kills me. | 1:00:10 | 1:00:15 | |
Kill yourself if you like, Forrester. You're mad. | 1:00:15 | 1:00:20 | |
But you won't endanger OUR lives... | 1:00:20 | 1:00:23 | |
PLANE APPROACHES | 1:00:23 | 1:00:25 | |
PLANE! HEY! | 1:00:27 | 1:00:29 | |
Help! | 1:00:30 | 1:00:33 | |
HELP! HEY! | 1:00:34 | 1:00:37 | |
What is it? | 1:00:40 | 1:00:42 | |
-Dak. -Help! | 1:00:42 | 1:00:43 | |
-Anyone we know? -I can't tell. | 1:00:43 | 1:00:46 | |
HEY! HEY! HEY! | 1:00:46 | 1:00:52 | |
Blind fools! Never started to see us! | 1:00:55 | 1:00:58 | |
Know what it's like, searching in this country? | 1:00:58 | 1:01:02 | |
It would be almost impossible from a plane. | 1:01:02 | 1:01:06 | |
Turbulence, haze, fires - it's a million to one. | 1:01:06 | 1:01:10 | |
Blind, stupid fools! | 1:01:10 | 1:01:12 | |
Look, we've got enough water for three days, maybe four. | 1:01:12 | 1:01:17 | |
We've got no food. | 1:01:17 | 1:01:19 | |
Either we sit here and hope, or we can travel. | 1:01:19 | 1:01:24 | |
-That make sense? -What about Carrington? | 1:01:24 | 1:01:27 | |
-We'll carry him. -The whole idea's crazy! | 1:01:27 | 1:01:30 | |
It's crazier to stay here. | 1:01:30 | 1:01:33 | |
Now let's make the stretcher. | 1:01:33 | 1:01:35 | |
Well, Carrington should be consulted. | 1:01:37 | 1:01:39 | |
Carrington has no option. It's his only chance. | 1:01:39 | 1:01:43 | |
Well, it's entirely your responsibility. | 1:01:47 | 1:01:50 | |
Responsibility, hell! | 1:01:50 | 1:01:52 | |
We're going to try to reach the river. | 1:02:04 | 1:02:08 | |
We'll march 30 minutes, then rest 30 minutes. | 1:02:08 | 1:02:12 | |
We'll carry you. | 1:02:12 | 1:02:14 | |
It's hopeless! | 1:02:14 | 1:02:15 | |
What do you think? You'll have to navigate. | 1:02:15 | 1:02:19 | |
I don't know... | 1:02:19 | 1:02:21 | |
You can't just carry a bloke that easily. | 1:02:22 | 1:02:26 | |
It's a piece of cake. | 1:02:26 | 1:02:28 | |
We're the champion bloke-carriers of Burma. Right, Blower? | 1:02:28 | 1:02:33 | |
Try to sleep until it's dark. | 1:02:32 | 1:02:36 | |
Come on, Blower. | 1:02:35 | 1:02:37 | |
-You ready? -All set. | 1:02:49 | 1:02:53 | |
Sing out if you feel yourself slipping. | 1:02:53 | 1:02:57 | |
OK. | 1:02:57 | 1:02:58 | |
-How about you, Blower? -Just a minute. | 1:03:02 | 1:03:05 | |
All right. | 1:03:16 | 1:03:17 | |
Ready? Lift. | 1:03:17 | 1:03:20 | |
Ahhh... | 1:03:20 | 1:03:22 | |
AAAARGH! | 1:04:01 | 1:04:03 | |
MOANS | 1:04:06 | 1:04:08 | |
Put him down. | 1:04:14 | 1:04:16 | |
It's hopeless. We'll never get down there. | 1:04:21 | 1:04:24 | |
Will you stop saying it's hopeless! | 1:04:24 | 1:04:27 | |
We'll lower him feet first. Swing this end around. | 1:04:27 | 1:04:32 | |
-Absolute madness. -Shut up! | 1:04:32 | 1:04:34 | |
Lift! | 1:04:36 | 1:04:37 | |
BLOWER GRUNTS | 1:04:37 | 1:04:39 | |
All right, lower away. | 1:04:49 | 1:04:51 | |
GRUNTS | 1:04:52 | 1:04:54 | |
-Look out! -Aaaah! | 1:04:57 | 1:04:59 | |
Hold him! | 1:04:59 | 1:05:01 | |
All right, lower it. | 1:05:16 | 1:05:17 | |
Slowly! | 1:05:17 | 1:05:20 | |
That's it. | 1:05:20 | 1:05:22 | |
Take him over there. We'll rest. | 1:05:26 | 1:05:29 | |
Come on, pick him up. | 1:05:32 | 1:05:34 | |
Keep going. | 1:05:35 | 1:05:37 | |
PANTS | 1:05:47 | 1:05:49 | |
How much longer? | 1:06:00 | 1:06:02 | |
It'll be dawn soon. We'll stop and rest all day. | 1:06:02 | 1:06:07 | |
Supposing you slip and break your ankle. Then what? | 1:06:07 | 1:06:12 | |
You tell him, Carrington. | 1:06:12 | 1:06:14 | |
-We'll be up the creek. -Right. | 1:06:15 | 1:06:18 | |
-You'll have to carry us both. -We should've stayed put! | 1:06:18 | 1:06:23 | |
So you've said. | 1:06:23 | 1:06:25 | |
All right, let's get going. | 1:06:26 | 1:06:29 | |
Lift. | 1:06:34 | 1:06:36 | |
Aaah! | 1:06:49 | 1:06:51 | |
-What's wrong? -There's a sheer drop! | 1:07:21 | 1:07:24 | |
-We'll never get by. -We will. | 1:07:24 | 1:07:27 | |
-I'll go first. -Don't you trust me? | 1:07:27 | 1:07:31 | |
Sure, but keep going! | 1:07:31 | 1:07:32 | |
All right! You're the officer in charge. | 1:07:32 | 1:07:35 | |
All right, you give the orders! | 1:07:35 | 1:07:38 | |
Theirs not to reason... Aaaargh! | 1:07:38 | 1:07:41 | |
GRUNTS | 1:07:49 | 1:07:52 | |
Aaaah! | 1:07:53 | 1:07:55 | |
Are you still with it? | 1:08:10 | 1:08:12 | |
BLOWER! | 1:08:12 | 1:08:14 | |
Blower? | 1:08:17 | 1:08:19 | |
-Are you badly hurt? -"Badly" is a comparative term. | 1:08:36 | 1:08:40 | |
-So I hardly like... Uhh! -Take it easy. | 1:08:40 | 1:08:44 | |
The water! The thermos - where is it? | 1:08:46 | 1:08:50 | |
Right over here. | 1:08:50 | 1:08:51 | |
Everything's here. There's nothing lost. | 1:08:53 | 1:08:56 | |
Let's have a look at you. | 1:08:56 | 1:08:59 | |
There's something wrong here. | 1:08:59 | 1:09:01 | |
GASPS | 1:09:04 | 1:09:06 | |
Looks like you broke your collarbone. | 1:09:06 | 1:09:09 | |
Your face is badly scraped. | 1:09:10 | 1:09:13 | |
-You've got some antiseptic? -Yes. | 1:09:13 | 1:09:15 | |
I'll get the webbing off first. | 1:09:15 | 1:09:18 | |
It'll be light soon. We'll see what we're doing. | 1:09:18 | 1:09:23 | |
GASPS I'm sorry. | 1:09:26 | 1:09:28 | |
-I hurt you? -No. | 1:09:28 | 1:09:30 | |
-Just thinking of something funny. -Oh? That's good. | 1:09:31 | 1:09:34 | |
I thought, "Fancy worrying about the water." | 1:09:35 | 1:09:39 | |
-I was worried. -As if it matters. | 1:09:39 | 1:09:42 | |
-As if what matters? -The water. | 1:09:42 | 1:09:45 | |
It's no use to us now. | 1:09:45 | 1:09:48 | |
Isn't it? | 1:09:48 | 1:09:50 | |
Better lie back. | 1:09:51 | 1:09:53 | |
Not for me and Carrington, anyway. | 1:09:53 | 1:09:56 | |
We might as well shoot ourselves now and have done with it. | 1:09:56 | 1:10:03 | |
Here. | 1:10:08 | 1:10:10 | |
HE PANTS | 1:10:13 | 1:10:15 | |
TYPEWRITERS CLACK | 1:10:26 | 1:10:28 | |
-Any news yet, sir? -Yes, Doc. | 1:10:28 | 1:10:31 | |
We've heard from the army. | 1:10:31 | 1:10:33 | |
Their nearest patrol's | 1:10:33 | 1:10:35 | |
20 miles from Forrester's last estimated position. | 1:10:35 | 1:10:38 | |
That patrol will do what they can, but that won't be much. | 1:10:38 | 1:10:44 | |
The army won't charge 20 miles into Jap territory | 1:10:44 | 1:10:49 | |
to probably find three corpses and a burnt-out plane? | 1:10:49 | 1:10:53 | |
That's about right. | 1:10:53 | 1:10:55 | |
-It looks like a complete write-off. -Yes. | 1:10:55 | 1:10:58 | |
Well, thank you, sir. | 1:10:59 | 1:11:01 | |
-Hello, Anna. -Tell me, please. | 1:11:12 | 1:11:15 | |
I've told you all we know. | 1:11:15 | 1:11:18 | |
Please. | 1:11:18 | 1:11:20 | |
They were on their way to Meiktila. | 1:11:21 | 1:11:24 | |
Forrester, the navigator and a passenger. | 1:11:24 | 1:11:27 | |
One of the engines caught fire. | 1:11:27 | 1:11:30 | |
There wasn't time to locate their exact position, | 1:11:30 | 1:11:34 | |
but they were over a Jap area. | 1:11:34 | 1:11:37 | |
We don't know if they landed safely. | 1:11:37 | 1:11:41 | |
-Did he know it would be dangerous? -No. | 1:11:42 | 1:11:46 | |
It was a routine flight. | 1:11:46 | 1:11:48 | |
He was just unlucky. | 1:11:50 | 1:11:52 | |
Was he unlucky because he failed in something? | 1:11:52 | 1:11:56 | |
No. No, it wasn't his fault. | 1:11:56 | 1:11:59 | |
Then perhaps he'll come back. | 1:12:03 | 1:12:06 | |
Aye, perhaps he will. If it's humanly possible. | 1:12:06 | 1:12:10 | |
He said he would come back. | 1:12:13 | 1:12:16 | |
FLIES BUZZ | 1:12:22 | 1:12:25 | |
PLANE APPROACHES | 1:12:34 | 1:12:37 | |
-Forrester! -Mmm? What's the matter? | 1:12:50 | 1:12:52 | |
A plane! | 1:12:52 | 1:12:54 | |
There it is! | 1:13:02 | 1:13:04 | |
That plane was looking for us. | 1:13:20 | 1:13:23 | |
We shouldn't have left our position. | 1:13:23 | 1:13:26 | |
Now when they see the wreckage, they'll think nobody survived. | 1:13:26 | 1:13:31 | |
That plane was on the course we were on | 1:13:31 | 1:13:36 | |
and THAT'S the way back home. | 1:13:36 | 1:13:39 | |
-Try to get some rest. -Rest! | 1:13:39 | 1:13:42 | |
You may need it. | 1:13:42 | 1:13:44 | |
Someone must go to the river alone for help. | 1:13:44 | 1:13:48 | |
And that's you, I suppose? You're uninjured. | 1:13:48 | 1:13:52 | |
You'll leave us to rot! | 1:13:52 | 1:13:54 | |
I thought you might go. You can still walk. | 1:13:54 | 1:13:59 | |
I'll stay and look after Carrington. | 1:13:59 | 1:14:02 | |
Doesn't make much difference to me. You think it over. | 1:14:04 | 1:14:09 | |
You never liked me, did you? | 1:14:20 | 1:14:23 | |
Not now, Blower. | 1:14:24 | 1:14:26 | |
-There's a good fellow. -I know why. | 1:14:26 | 1:14:29 | |
It's because I had a life to go back to. | 1:14:29 | 1:14:34 | |
It's my having a wife and family that you hated. | 1:14:34 | 1:14:39 | |
You need some sleep. | 1:14:39 | 1:14:42 | |
Somebody said, "In a crisis, men of action lose their heads." | 1:14:42 | 1:14:47 | |
Never thought I'd see that proved! | 1:14:47 | 1:14:51 | |
Let's talk it over later. | 1:14:51 | 1:14:54 | |
I'm making a last appeal to you. | 1:14:56 | 1:15:00 | |
Carrington's wounded - he can't think straight. Nor can you. | 1:15:00 | 1:15:04 | |
We should never have left the plane. | 1:15:04 | 1:15:08 | |
Going on is sheer madness! | 1:15:08 | 1:15:10 | |
The only sane course is to return to the plane and wait for rescue. | 1:15:10 | 1:15:18 | |
Well? Forrester? | 1:15:18 | 1:15:21 | |
Forrester! | 1:15:23 | 1:15:26 | |
Blower! | 1:16:22 | 1:16:24 | |
BLOWER! | 1:16:35 | 1:16:37 | |
What's the matter? | 1:16:59 | 1:17:01 | |
-Blower's gone. -What do you mean? | 1:17:02 | 1:17:05 | |
Blower's gone! | 1:17:05 | 1:17:06 | |
Back to where we crashed, I guess. | 1:17:08 | 1:17:12 | |
-He left while we were asleep. -Maybe he's right. | 1:17:12 | 1:17:16 | |
He's a clot. You know it! | 1:17:17 | 1:17:20 | |
Well, I'll bring him back. You get some sleep. | 1:17:22 | 1:17:27 | |
There's water. Use it sparingly. | 1:17:27 | 1:17:29 | |
I'll try to be quick. | 1:17:29 | 1:17:31 | |
GASPS | 1:18:19 | 1:18:21 | |
Blower! | 1:18:47 | 1:18:50 | |
GASPS AND CHOKES | 1:19:00 | 1:19:03 | |
GASPS FOR BREATH | 1:19:13 | 1:19:16 | |
Aaagh! | 1:19:25 | 1:19:27 | |
FLIES BUZZ | 1:19:58 | 1:20:00 | |
SWARMS OF INSECTS BUZZ | 1:20:16 | 1:20:19 | |
BUZZING GROWS LOUDER | 1:20:21 | 1:20:24 | |
GUNSHOT | 1:20:32 | 1:20:34 | |
Where's old Blower? | 1:22:49 | 1:22:51 | |
Decided not to come. | 1:22:55 | 1:22:57 | |
He's dead, isn't he? | 1:22:59 | 1:23:01 | |
Did he shoot himself? | 1:23:02 | 1:23:04 | |
Poor old Blower. | 1:23:08 | 1:23:10 | |
What do you know about it? | 1:23:13 | 1:23:16 | |
I only said, "Poor old Blower." | 1:23:50 | 1:23:53 | |
Yeah. Poor old Blower. | 1:23:53 | 1:23:56 | |
He could've been right, though. | 1:23:56 | 1:23:59 | |
No. We're going to get out of here...alive. | 1:23:59 | 1:24:03 | |
-You mean you are. -We both are. | 1:24:03 | 1:24:07 | |
It's no use my trying to walk. | 1:24:07 | 1:24:10 | |
You needn't walk. I'll carry you. | 1:24:10 | 1:24:13 | |
How can you? You'll never do it. | 1:24:13 | 1:24:16 | |
If I help, could you stand on one leg? | 1:24:16 | 1:24:21 | |
I'll have a go. | 1:24:23 | 1:24:25 | |
-Won't you wait until sunset? -No. | 1:24:25 | 1:24:28 | |
We haven't got time. I'm getting hungry. | 1:24:28 | 1:24:32 | |
You all right? | 1:24:36 | 1:24:38 | |
Aaaagh! | 1:24:39 | 1:24:41 | |
-OK now? -I think so. | 1:24:44 | 1:24:46 | |
Hold on tight. Here we go. | 1:24:46 | 1:24:49 | |
Another 50 yards we'll take a rest. | 1:25:46 | 1:25:49 | |
Do you hear me? | 1:25:53 | 1:25:55 | |
Carrington? | 1:25:56 | 1:25:58 | |
Carrington! | 1:25:58 | 1:25:59 | |
Carrington! | 1:26:00 | 1:26:02 | |
-WEAKLY: -Sir? | 1:26:03 | 1:26:05 | |
-Are you all right? -Yes. | 1:26:07 | 1:26:10 | |
We'll rest right up here. | 1:26:10 | 1:26:12 | |
GROANS WITH EXERTION | 1:26:30 | 1:26:32 | |
Aaagghh! | 1:26:32 | 1:26:34 | |
BOTH GASP FOR BREATH | 1:26:35 | 1:26:38 | |
I'm all right. | 1:26:43 | 1:26:45 | |
I'm sorry. | 1:26:48 | 1:26:49 | |
Time for a drink, anyway. | 1:26:55 | 1:26:58 | |
That's almost the last of the water, isn't it? | 1:27:17 | 1:27:22 | |
Almost. | 1:27:22 | 1:27:23 | |
-Had yours yet? -I'll have some later. | 1:27:23 | 1:27:27 | |
Drink it now. | 1:27:28 | 1:27:30 | |
Let's see you. | 1:27:30 | 1:27:32 | |
All right. | 1:27:36 | 1:27:37 | |
How much left now? | 1:27:57 | 1:27:59 | |
That's the last. | 1:28:00 | 1:28:02 | |
About had it, haven't we? | 1:28:05 | 1:28:07 | |
Not yet. | 1:28:07 | 1:28:09 | |
Pretty near, I'd say. | 1:28:09 | 1:28:12 | |
-You'd better go on. -We both go on. | 1:28:12 | 1:28:17 | |
-You'll never get me out. -Sure I will. | 1:28:16 | 1:28:20 | |
You're getting like old Blower. | 1:28:20 | 1:28:24 | |
Why? | 1:28:25 | 1:28:26 | |
Well, face facts. | 1:28:26 | 1:28:28 | |
We can't go on without water. | 1:28:28 | 1:28:31 | |
If you were by yourself, | 1:28:31 | 1:28:34 | |
you might reach the river, fill that flask. | 1:28:34 | 1:28:38 | |
There might even be something we could eat there. | 1:28:38 | 1:28:42 | |
Fruit, maybe, or even a nice juicy trout. | 1:28:42 | 1:28:47 | |
What's the watch for? | 1:29:18 | 1:29:20 | |
It'll be dark for a few hours. | 1:29:20 | 1:29:23 | |
I might lose my bearings. | 1:29:23 | 1:29:26 | |
When it gets light, fire a shot. I'll be listening. | 1:29:26 | 1:29:31 | |
After that, fire one at hourly intervals. | 1:29:31 | 1:29:34 | |
OK? | 1:29:34 | 1:29:37 | |
OK. | 1:29:38 | 1:29:40 | |
Too bad I don't have a fishing line. | 1:29:48 | 1:29:52 | |
I'll have breakfast ready for you. | 1:29:52 | 1:29:55 | |
Just make mine toast and coffee. | 1:29:55 | 1:29:58 | |
FLOWING WATER BUBBLES AND GURGLES | 1:32:49 | 1:32:53 | |
The Lord be praised! | 1:33:15 | 1:33:17 | |
Yes. They reached the river all right. | 1:33:17 | 1:33:20 | |
He was picked up by some Naga bearers. | 1:33:20 | 1:33:24 | |
They got the navigator out. | 1:33:24 | 1:33:26 | |
-Alive? -Only just. | 1:33:26 | 1:33:28 | |
Another hour would've been too late. | 1:33:28 | 1:33:31 | |
Forward hospital's flying them in tomorrow. | 1:33:31 | 1:33:34 | |
Anna said he would come back. | 1:33:34 | 1:33:37 | |
I didn't have faith enough. | 1:33:37 | 1:33:39 | |

TYRES SCREECH | 1:33:47 | 1:33:49 | |
AEROPLANE ENGINE STOPS | 1:34:05 | 1:34:07 | |
Swore I'd get out. | 1:34:09 | 1:34:12 | |
-NURSE: -Not too much talk. | 1:34:11 | 1:34:14 | |
That's not fair, Nurse. | 1:34:14 | 1:34:16 | |
Mr Forrester and I have got lots to talk about. | 1:34:16 | 1:34:21 | |
All right, Mr Forrester. That's enough. | 1:34:21 | 1:34:23 | |
Well, I'll be seeing you. | 1:34:33 | 1:34:35 | |
Yes, sir. | 1:34:35 | 1:34:37 | |
Thanks for the ride. | 1:34:39 | 1:34:43 | |
Haven't we met before? | 1:34:55 | 1:34:57 | |
The face seems familiar. | 1:34:57 | 1:34:59 | |
-How about a nice jeep ride? -You're sick. | 1:34:59 | 1:35:03 | |
-Go to hospital. -You know where I'm going. | 1:35:03 | 1:35:07 | |
I'll take all the methedrine you want. | 1:35:07 | 1:35:10 | |
-Your eyes still ache? -No. | 1:35:10 | 1:35:13 | |
Let's see your tongue. | 1:35:12 | 1:35:15 | |
What an impossible man you are. | 1:35:16 | 1:35:19 | |
All right, get in. | 1:35:19 | 1:35:20 | |
Hello, Miss McNabb. | 1:35:44 | 1:35:46 | |
Oh! | 1:35:46 | 1:35:48 | |
-SOBS -Look at me crying like a loony! | 1:35:49 | 1:35:53 | |
Have you heard such a thing?! | 1:35:53 | 1:35:56 | |
There, there... SHE SOBS | 1:35:56 | 1:35:58 | |
Where's Anna? | 1:36:00 | 1:36:02 | |
She's in there. Asleep, I think. | 1:36:02 | 1:36:04 | |
She hasn't slept until she knew you were safe. | 1:36:04 | 1:36:09 | |
-Oh... -You can go in. | 1:36:08 | 1:36:11 | |
-I oughtn't wake her. -There's no need to wake her. | 1:36:11 | 1:36:16 | |
