0:02:050:02:07

Why isn't this plane ready? Want everyone killed?

0:02:070:02:11

GET IT GOING! BOMB EXPLODES

0:02:110:02:13

What's wrong with you?

0:02:130:02:14

What are you trying to do?

0:02:140:02:17

What are you doing? Get it going!

0:02:170:02:21

-Sir!

-Get it...ready...

SILENCE

0:02:300:02:31

Sorry, sir. Are you all right?

0:02:350:02:38

Everything's OK, sir. There's no bombing.

0:02:390:02:43

Are you sure you're all right? Dr Harris...

0:02:440:02:47

Wait a minute.

0:02:470:02:49

I'm all right. I'm fine. I thought...

0:02:540:02:59

Get some sleep, sir. You're first flight tomorrow.

0:02:580:03:02

Yeah. All right, Sergeant. Fine.

0:03:050:03:08

Fine.

0:03:090:03:11

DRONE OF AIRCRAFT

0:03:270:03:30

Black Dog Leader to Squadron. Flak. Up we go. Over.

0:03:480:03:53

Red Two to Leader. Message received. Out.

0:03:560:03:59

What's the matter? Didn't you hear?

0:04:230:04:26

'Leader to Red Two. What is your trouble?'

0:04:260:04:30

Didn't you hear the orders?

0:04:300:04:32

'Are you receiving me?'

0:04:350:04:37

Can't you hear the orders?

0:04:370:04:39

'Acknowledge! Over.'

0:04:390:04:41

'Leader to Red Two...'

0:05:120:05:15

OK, Doc.

0:05:410:05:42

Got him?

0:06:220:06:23

Yep. Gently does it.

0:06:230:06:25

Hello, Doc. See? The conquering hero comes.

0:06:260:06:29

-Cannon shell?

-Ack-ack. I made a tourniquet.

0:06:290:06:32

Thanks.

0:06:340:06:36

Have you released the tourniquet at all?

0:06:390:06:42

-No, Doc.

-Good.

0:06:420:06:43

-How soon?

-A couple of days, sir.

0:06:520:06:55

A couple of days?!

0:06:550:06:57

It's probably chewed up the cables inside, sir, and...

0:06:570:07:01

Just get it fixed! Quick!

0:07:010:07:03

That'll be all right till hospital. We'll try not to shake you up.

0:07:070:07:14

Shake away, Doc.

0:07:140:07:16

-Feeling good, eh?

-I feel fine. So would you.

0:07:160:07:19

With a piece out of my arm?

0:07:190:07:22

Sure, if it meant avoiding flying with a lunatic.

0:07:220:07:26

Where's that fool going?

0:07:360:07:38

BOTH SHOUT WARNINGS

0:07:400:07:42

Round the bend, Nobby boy. Right round!

0:07:510:07:54

All right, driver.

0:07:570:07:59

-Well, Doc?

-Hello, sir.

0:08:000:08:01

The arm's all right. He's going to Calcutta tomorrow.

0:08:010:08:05

But you won't see him for a while.

0:08:040:08:08

I guessed that. I've requested a replacement.

0:08:080:08:11

We're short on navigators.

0:08:110:08:13

-I want to discuss our problem boy.

-Forrester. What about him?

0:08:140:08:20

-His navigator say what happened?

-Yes.

0:08:220:08:25

-Well?

-Not my department, sir.

0:08:250:08:28

I think it is. You know this isn't the first time.

0:08:280:08:34

-Nothing wrong with his nerve?

-No.

0:08:340:08:37

Except he's round the bend.

0:08:370:08:39

Going in without orders and pranging ack-ack guns?

0:08:390:08:43

-Could be called a good show!

-Not by me!

0:08:420:08:47

I'd say he wants out.

0:08:470:08:49

I know he volunteered. I know he's a good man.

0:08:490:08:54

-But he must go.

-You think he's cracking.

0:08:540:08:57

-I think he cracked years ago.

-His record shows otherwise.

0:08:570:09:03

First-class fighter pilot, DSO and the rest.

0:09:020:09:07

He's taken a few chances in his time.

0:09:070:09:11

But were they always necessary?

0:09:100:09:13

He's giving people the willies. He'll have to go.

0:09:130:09:18

If what you say is true, sir, that'll finish him.

0:09:210:09:25

-Have you any other suggestions?

-What about talking to him?

0:09:250:09:30

-I have!

-What did he say?

0:09:300:09:32

Nothing. He made me feel a complete fool.

0:09:320:09:36

I've noticed he has that effect.

0:09:360:09:39

All the same, sir, could I talk to him?

0:09:390:09:43

All right. Don't be too long about it.

0:09:430:09:47

See you at dinner.

ALARM CLOCK RINGS

0:10:200:10:24

You find it hot?!

0:10:540:10:56

It's spring. The heat begins in June.

0:10:560:10:59

-The rain.

-Bet you love that!

0:10:590:11:02

-I don't.

-You'd get warmed up.

0:11:020:11:04

-Get some letters written.

-I write home daily.

0:11:040:11:08

Only once daily? You're slipping.

Heat affects people different ways.

0:11:190:11:23

Take me - I watch my health, take plenty of salt.

0:11:230:11:27

The real secret's one's mental attitude.

0:11:270:11:30

I've got responsibilities.

0:11:300:11:32

Wife in England, family, an important job.

0:11:320:11:35

But it's no use moping.

0:11:350:11:37

You flying people aren't interested in anything but flying.

0:11:370:11:41

There's a world, people. You don't care.

0:11:410:11:45

You need a home, children, a thought for the future.

0:11:450:11:49

If you were married, with a wife to go back to afterwards...

HUGE EXPLOSIONS

0:12:500:12:53

What? What?

0:13:230:13:24

What's the matter?

0:13:240:13:27

Oh. I thought you said something.

0:13:300:13:35

That was hours ago.

0:13:350:13:37

I said, that's your problem - no outside responsibilities.

0:13:560:14:00

You want a wife and family.

0:14:000:14:03

If you were married and knew that when the war's over...

0:14:020:14:08

CHILD SPEAKS

0:14:470:14:50

-Hello.

-Hello.

0:15:250:15:28

-Been looking for you.

-Something you wanted?

0:15:280:15:31

Care for a trip out of camp?

0:15:310:15:34

Village across the plain. Christian community.

0:15:340:15:36

Why would I be interested in a Christian community?

0:15:360:15:40

Just a trip. Half an hour.

0:15:400:15:43

-You go.

-Really nice people.

0:15:440:15:46

Very interesting. Pure Burmese. They speak English.

0:15:460:15:50

I buy fruit there.

0:15:500:15:52

Bring me back a nice cold melon, Doc.

0:15:520:15:56

-What's this?

-To kill or not to, that's all.

0:16:000:16:06

That's... CHILD SHOUTS

0:16:050:16:07

Strange how fascinating death can be.

0:16:230:16:26

Very. That why you became a doctor?

0:16:280:16:32

No. I try to keep my patients alive.

0:16:320:16:36

"Thou shalt not kill, but needn't strive

0:16:380:16:41

"officiously to keep alive."

0:16:410:16:42

-Ever hear that saying?

-Frequently. Come on, get in.

0:16:420:16:47

I see. A nice jeep ride, a cosy chat, a medical inspection.

0:16:470:16:52

OK, Doc.

0:16:550:16:56

Very tactfully arranged.

0:16:570:16:59

I must gain my patient's confidence somehow.

0:16:590:17:02

CHILDREN WHOOP AND SHOUT

0:17:170:17:20

Another patient. That's the dispensary - I'll show you later.

0:17:280:17:32

-HE SPEAKS BURMESE

-Off, you little devils!

0:18:090:18:12

Here, this is for you. Now hop it!

0:18:210:18:24

-Wonderful kids. I love them!

-What is this place?

0:18:250:18:30

A planter's once. Now it's Miss McNabb's.

0:18:300:18:33

-Who's she?

-Missionary. School teacher.

0:18:330:18:35

She won't be here today. Here's Dorothy.

0:18:350:18:38

-Good afternoon.

-Here's a friend, Dorothy.

0:18:390:18:42

Squadron Leader Forrester. A pilot. Dorothy's from Rangoon.

0:18:420:18:48

-Glad to know you.

-How do you do?

0:18:480:18:49

-Dorothy, we're thirsty men.

-Of course.

0:18:490:18:53

Sit down, and I'll get something cool to drink.

0:18:530:18:56

Very kind of you.

0:18:560:18:58

Lime juice. The lime juice is wonderful!

0:18:580:19:01

-Whatever you wish.

-Lime juice is fine.

0:19:010:19:04

-Where's Anna?

-At the dispensary.

0:19:040:19:07

-She'll be back soon.

-Good. Here's some rice.

0:19:070:19:10

Thank you, Doctor, thank you. Please sit, and I'll get the lime.

0:19:100:19:16

Thank you.

0:19:160:19:18

I try to bring something. Fruit's all right, but not always.

0:19:210:19:26

They can't buy food.

0:19:260:19:28

They came here stripped of everything.

0:19:280:19:31

All the way from Rangoon.

0:19:310:19:34

Can you imagine what it was like?

0:19:340:19:38

Hundreds of miles.

0:19:380:19:40

Don't know how any of them got through alive.

0:19:400:19:44

GENTLE CLINKING

0:19:550:19:57

I hope I didn't waken you.

0:20:160:20:19

Uh...sorry. I fell asleep for a moment.

0:20:210:20:26

Several moments.

0:20:260:20:28

Where's the doctor?

0:20:290:20:31

He and Dorothy went to the dispensary.

0:20:310:20:35

I'm Anna.

0:20:350:20:37

How do you do?

0:20:390:20:41

My name's Forrester.

0:20:420:20:44

I know. They sent me to see if you were all right.

0:20:440:20:49

POURS DRINK

0:20:530:20:55

They said you fell asleep before you had a drink.

0:20:570:21:02

How rude of me.

0:21:020:21:04

Very, very rude.

0:21:040:21:06

But no-one minded at all.

0:21:060:21:09

Please sit down.

0:21:140:21:16

Thank you.

0:21:160:21:18

The best lime I've ever tasted.

0:21:280:21:31

When one is thirsty, it's always tastier.

0:21:310:21:35

-You've been in Burma long?

-About three months.

0:21:400:21:44

-Do you like it?

-I don't know really.

0:21:440:21:48

Airfields are all pretty similar. Except it's hotter here.

0:21:480:21:53

-You'll like it when it's cool.

-I don't dislike it.

0:21:530:21:58

-I don't know it.

-No-one knows all of Burma.

0:21:580:22:03

Rice and rubies - that's all I knew about Burma before coming here.

0:22:040:22:10

There are stones here you can buy.

0:22:100:22:13

-That's very kind of you...

-It isn't far.

0:22:140:22:18

Well...I think the doctor was wanting to get back.

0:22:180:22:23

No! He always goes late. There's plenty of time.

0:22:230:22:28

All right.

0:22:300:22:31

I'd be glad.

0:22:310:22:34

These are rubies, sir.

0:22:370:22:39

Yes.

0:22:390:22:41

These are white sapphires.

0:22:410:22:44

And these are golden amethysts.

0:22:460:22:49

They're very nice.

0:22:510:22:52

HE SPEAKS BURMESE

0:22:520:22:55

Tomorrow they'll try to have a bigger selection -

0:22:580:23:02

zircons and emeralds, perhaps.

0:23:020:23:04

That's very kind of them.

0:23:050:23:09

I'll try to come.

0:23:100:23:12

SPEAKS BURMESE

0:23:140:23:16

Well...

0:23:230:23:25

..thank you.

0:23:280:23:30

-Please. Thank you. Goodbye, sir.

-Thank you very much. Goodbye.

0:23:320:23:37

Goodbye. Thank you.

0:23:390:23:41

You didn't want to buy stones, did you?

0:23:440:23:49

Not really, no.

0:23:480:23:50

-You're the first officer not to.

-Am I?

0:23:500:23:54

They all want jewels. I assumed you did, so I took you.

0:23:540:24:00

-You should have said.

-It was very interesting.

0:24:000:24:04

I just have no-one to give jewels to.

0:24:040:24:07

No-one? I'm sorry.

0:24:090:24:12

No need to be sorry.

0:24:120:24:14

The doctor says your sister's from Rangoon. You too?

0:24:140:24:19

-Yes. I was at the university.

-Studying what?

0:24:190:24:23

The humanities. It's not much use here.

0:24:230:24:26

I've learnt some nursing. I help the doctor.

0:24:260:24:30

-Are many sick?

-I'm afraid so.

0:24:300:24:33

-How do they feel about us?

-They've been told it's necessary.

0:24:330:24:39

We were also told it's necessary.

0:24:390:24:42

The river's down there. We swim there.

0:24:460:24:50

Any crocodiles?

0:24:500:24:52

No. No crocodiles.

0:24:520:24:55

It's very nice here.

0:24:570:24:59

Next time I fly over, it will seem more friendly.

0:24:590:25:04

Didn't it seem friendly before?

0:25:040:25:06

I never thought about it.

0:25:080:25:10

You people hate it here, don't you? You long for home.

0:25:100:25:16

-I don't.

-Not ever?

0:25:160:25:19

Nope.

0:25:190:25:21

Well, I guess the doctor will want to return to camp.

0:25:220:25:29

-Oi, oi. Here he is.

-MONKEY YELPS

0:25:430:25:48

-Who's breaking the good news?

-I will.

0:25:490:25:53

-Morning, Sergeant.

-Morning, sir.

0:25:530:25:56

-When will it be ready?

-Tonight.

0:25:560:25:58

You'd better change the oil cooler in this engine.

0:25:580:26:03

Not me, sir.

0:26:040:26:06

ENGINE IDLES

0:26:060:26:08

What are you talking about?

0:26:090:26:11

Our release came through last night - me and Clarke.

0:26:110:26:17

-Who's Clarke?

-Me, sir.

0:26:170:26:19

-Oh, Nobby.

-Yes, sir.

0:26:200:26:22

Been together from the start.

0:26:220:26:24

Congratulations.

0:26:260:26:28

Oh, Forrester. I couldn't find you anywhere.

0:26:370:26:42

This is Carrington, your new navigator.

0:26:430:26:47

-Squadron Leader Forrester.

-How do you do, sir?

0:26:470:26:51

Who told you to move in here?

0:26:510:26:54

The messing officer. Everywhere's full up.

0:26:540:26:58

Anyway, it's only for tonight. I'm leaving tomorrow.

0:26:580:27:02

-Everything's a mess just now.

-So I see.

0:27:020:27:06

-I seem to have put up a black.

-He's impossible.

0:27:350:27:40

We're all hot and three is too many,

0:27:400:27:44

but he needn't be so boorish.

0:27:440:27:47

Still, the messing officer could have consulted him.

0:27:470:27:51

Forrester invites that sort of treatment.

0:27:510:27:54

He antagonises people.

0:27:540:27:56

Thank goodness I'm a wingless wonder. I don't envy you.

0:27:560:28:01

-Why?

-Everyone knows he's crazy.

0:28:010:28:04

Everyone.

0:28:040:28:05

-Ah!

-Hello.

0:28:160:28:18

-I've got an invitation for you.

-Oh, yes?

0:28:180:28:22

Miss McNabb, the village missionary.

0:28:220:28:25

-Dinner tonight.

-No, thanks.

0:28:250:28:28

I take rice and meat. Their curry's delicious.

0:28:280:28:32

-No, thanks.

-See you at seven.

0:28:320:28:35

I said no, thanks!

0:28:350:28:37

SINGING WAFTS FROM INSIDE

0:28:430:28:45

You take this. I'll take the rice.

-Good evening, Dr Harris.

0:29:170:29:22

Good evening, Dorothy.

0:29:220:29:24

-Good evening, Mr Forrester.

-Good evening.

0:29:240:29:27

-For the kitchen.

-How kind.

0:29:270:29:29

I'll be in shortly.

0:29:290:29:32

-SCOTTISH ACCENT: Dr Harris!

-Good evening, Miss McNabb.

0:29:330:29:37

-Can I introduce...

-Squadron Leader Forrester.

0:29:370:29:40

It's an honour and a pleasure.

0:29:400:29:43

-Glad you could come.

-You're very kind.

0:29:430:29:46

Nobody said you were so handsome.

0:29:460:29:49

Let me introduce you.

0:29:490:29:51

This is Anna's mother.

0:29:510:29:53

-How do you do?

-She can't answer.

0:29:530:29:57

She hasn't spoken since the Japs bombed us in Rangoon.

0:29:570:30:02

I'm sorry.

0:30:020:30:03

-Hello, Mr Fang.

-A pleasure, Doctor.

0:30:030:30:06

-Mr Fang.

-How do you do?

0:30:060:30:09

Pleased to meet a distinguished officer.

0:30:090:30:12

Mr Fang studied English at the university.

0:30:120:30:16

English Literature, to be precise.

0:30:160:30:18

Doctor, I'm relying on you for ideas for Easter hymns.

0:30:180:30:24

-I've thought of nothing else.

-Och!! Mr Fang...

0:30:240:30:28

Excuse me. Miss McNabb?

0:30:280:30:30

-Another glass, please.

-Certainly.

0:30:300:30:32

-I'm glad you came.

-I'm glad you're here.

0:30:340:30:37

-Miss McNabb was kind to invite me.

-Mr Forrester!

0:30:370:30:41

That foul, benighted city, Calcutta -

0:30:410:30:44

the only good to come out of it was this whisky from the doctor.

0:30:440:30:51

I don't drink

0:30:510:30:52

but it won't harm you while waiting for dinner.

0:30:520:30:57

Thank you, Miss McNabb.

0:30:570:30:59

-What do you fly?

-Fighter bombers.

0:30:590:31:02

I say they're wicked, devilish things.

0:31:020:31:05

True.

0:31:050:31:07

You're one of the quiet, thoughtful ones, Mr Forrester.

0:31:090:31:13

You didn't tell me that, Anna. She's very shy.

0:31:130:31:18

Drink up. Dinner won't be long.

0:31:180:31:21

I said I'd be back.

0:31:230:31:26

I hoped you would.

0:31:260:31:28

So, you're shy.

0:31:280:31:29

Compared to Miss McNabb, everyone's shy.

0:31:290:31:32

She's quite a character.

0:31:320:31:34

We love her. It's thanks to her we got here from Rangoon.

0:31:360:31:42

The doctor told me. It's incredible.

0:31:420:31:45

Strange things happen during the war.

0:31:450:31:48

Yes...

0:31:480:31:50

..strange landing places...

0:31:500:31:52

..strange meetings.

0:31:530:31:55

Dinner! Dinner!

0:32:050:32:07

It's delicious.

0:32:090:32:11

Shall we go?

0:32:120:32:14

Mr Forrester, you're not eating! Don't you like it?

0:32:210:32:26

It's terrific. I'm full.

0:32:260:32:28

I've been admiring your tablecloth.

0:32:280:32:31

You have an eye for fine things.

0:32:310:32:34

The mission girls worked it for Miss McNabb.

0:32:340:32:38

For her 21st birthday.

0:32:380:32:40

Take no notice of him! I'm not ashamed of my age.

0:32:400:32:46

For my 45th birthday.

0:32:460:32:48

And all the way from Rangoon I kept saying,

0:32:480:32:52

"Whatever you lose, you won't lose the girls' tablecloth."

0:32:520:32:57

-It's a beautiful thing.

-Aye.

0:32:570:33:00

300 of us died on that journey, Mr Forrester.

0:32:590:33:04

That's how old I am.

0:33:060:33:09

I'll see you're decorated if it's the last thing I do.

0:33:090:33:14

Och, don't gab so. Give Mr Forrester some tea, Anna.

0:33:140:33:19

-I'm serious.

-You want to decorate someone?

0:33:190:33:22

Decorate the good Lord.

0:33:220:33:24

Then you'd be talking, for sure.

0:33:240:33:27

-I'll see what I can do.

-You think about Easter.

0:33:270:33:33

What's your favourite Easter hymn, Mr Forrester?

0:33:330:33:36

Oh, Easter hymn?

0:33:370:33:39

Well, uh...

0:33:390:33:42

..well, uh...

0:33:420:33:44

..uh...

0:33:440:33:46

"Hallelujah", isn't it?

0:33:460:33:48

Yes. "Hallelujah".

0:33:470:33:50

"Hallelujah! - Jesus Christ is risen today."

0:33:500:33:55

Aye, it's splendid.

0:33:550:33:57

You're well brought up, Mr Forrester.

0:33:570:34:00

Come on! We'll all sing it.

0:34:000:34:03

ROAR APPROACHES

0:35:160:35:19

What is it?

0:35:220:35:23

Jap bombers, looking for the air strip.

0:35:230:35:27

There's too much light. Shut the door.

0:35:270:35:30

-#

-But the pain He endured...

-# ROARING OVERHEAD

0:35:300:35:35

-#

-Hallelujah.

0:35:350:35:41

There's quite a bunch.

0:35:430:35:45

-I should be at the dispensary.

-Come on then!

0:35:450:35:49

WHISTLING Look out!

0:35:490:35:53

ANNA!

0:36:210:36:23

Anna!

0:36:260:36:27

Are you all right?

0:36:470:36:49

FAINTLY: Yes.

0:36:490:36:51

Are you sure?

0:36:510:36:53

-Are you all right here?

-Yes. All right.

0:36:540:36:58

Come then. We're needed in the village.

0:36:570:37:01

Come on, Mr Fang!

0:37:010:37:03

BABBLE OF VOICES

0:37:040:37:07

Anna, help out in there. I'm coming.

0:37:160:37:19

-You bring casualties along here.

-OK!

0:37:190:37:24

SCREAMS PIERCE THE AIR

0:37:240:37:26

CHICKEN SQUAWKS What's going on?

0:37:330:37:35

-They escape Japanese.

-The Japs aren't coming back!

0:37:350:37:39

They don't know. They've been bombed before.

0:37:390:37:43

Attend to this one now. I'll finish that dressing.

0:37:590:38:03

RATTLING

0:38:180:38:20

-Anna, go back and lie down.

-I'm all right, Doctor.

0:38:260:38:30

No, you're suffering from shock. Off you go.

0:38:300:38:35

SHOUTING

SCREAMING

0:39:110:39:14

CHAOS AND SCREAMING

0:39:220:39:25

I ordered her to the bungalow.

0:39:420:39:45

-The crowd swamped her.

-I'm all right.

0:39:450:39:48

Lie down for a while.

0:39:480:39:50

Put that blanket over her.

0:39:500:39:53

I must get back.

0:39:530:39:55

That last lot sounded near the camp.

0:39:550:39:58

-I'll go too.

-You can do more here.

0:39:580:40:02

-I'll call for you tomorrow.

-Right.

0:40:020:40:05

Mr Forrester?

0:40:070:40:09

-Please hold her while I finish.

-Surely.

0:40:120:40:16

Excuse me for asking a personal question, Mr Forrester,

0:40:160:40:20

but are you married?

0:40:200:40:23

No.

0:40:230:40:25

I'm glad.

0:40:250:40:27

WAILING OUTSIDE

0:40:280:40:30

Do you hear?

0:40:300:40:32

Yes, I hear.

0:40:320:40:34

They're not like us, made of ice.

0:40:340:40:37

They express their sorrow and fear.

0:40:370:40:40

They don't leave it inside, as you or I might...to rot.

0:40:400:40:46

That'll be all.

0:40:490:40:51

Take her to the other children, and I'll get Anna a drink.

0:40:510:40:56

MAN SPEAKS BURMESE

0:41:150:41:17

The doc's here. I have to go.

0:41:370:41:41

Please don't go. I have something to tell you.

0:41:410:41:45

SPEAKS BURMESE

0:41:500:41:52

MAN SPEAKS BURMESE

0:41:560:41:58

You had something to say.

0:42:050:42:07

It wasn't much.

0:42:070:42:09

Tell me.

0:42:090:42:11

It was something to give you.

0:42:110:42:14

Open it. It's for you.

0:42:170:42:19

It's for you.

0:42:320:42:34

You have no-one to give it to?

0:42:360:42:40

No.

0:42:390:42:41

I'm glad, because now you can keep it for me.

0:42:410:42:46

I can't say anything.

0:42:500:42:52

Don't say anything.

0:42:520:42:54

There's nothing to say.

0:42:540:42:56

It's only a little thing.

0:42:560:42:59

Anna...

0:43:080:43:10

Early in the war, I fell in love.

0:43:180:43:22

When I got leave, we went to London and got married.

0:43:260:43:31

That night...

0:43:310:43:33

..while we were out having dinner...

0:43:340:43:37

..there was an air raid.

0:43:410:43:43

The building we were in got a direct hit.

0:43:430:43:48

She was killed.

0:43:510:43:53

After that, I didn't want to go on living.

0:43:590:44:04

That should be easy in war, but it wasn't.

0:44:060:44:10

I wanted to die, but got medals.

0:44:100:44:13

I could see the trouble in your face.

0:44:150:44:19

It is not good to die inside.

0:44:190:44:22

It's like living a bad dream.

0:44:220:44:25

We bury our dead in the earth, not in our hearts.

0:44:250:44:30

Is the dream over now?

0:44:300:44:32

I think so.

0:44:320:44:34

You spoke about never going home.

0:44:350:44:38

-What did you mean?

-Just that.

0:44:380:44:41

Would you rather stay here?

0:44:410:44:44

I never want to leave.

0:44:440:44:47

Will you always come back?

0:44:470:44:49

Always.

0:44:490:44:52

Then I will always be here.

0:44:520:44:55

Good morning, sir.

0:45:270:45:29

-Hello, Bill. Sit down.

-Thanks.

0:45:290:45:32

Rather a dour job for you today.

0:45:320:45:35

I know you won't mind.

0:45:350:45:37

You haven't flown with your new navigator yet?

0:45:370:45:41

No, sir.

0:45:410:45:42

I'm sending a body to Meiktila.

0:45:420:45:45

Since you're trying him out, we'll kill two birds with one stone.

0:45:450:45:51

Sure. Who's the body?

0:45:510:45:53

Blower.

0:45:530:45:55

Blower? It'll be a pleasure.

0:45:540:45:57

Don't like him?

0:45:570:45:59

-We're sharing a tent.

-I see.

0:45:590:46:02

He's a good bloke.

0:46:020:46:04

Cambridge man - physics. Very clever, I believe.

0:46:040:46:07

Didn't know that.

0:46:090:46:11

I've told Blower he's going with you.

0:46:110:46:14

I bet that thrilled him.

0:46:140:46:17

There's nothing wrong with Blower.

0:46:170:46:19

He's like us all - needs a change.

0:46:190:46:22

Yes, sir.

0:46:220:46:24

GRUNTS AND STRAINS

0:46:310:46:33

Hear you're to be my passenger.

0:46:350:46:38

-How long will it take?

-Carrington might know.

0:46:400:46:44

I thought he'd be here.

0:46:440:46:46

-He's at the crew tent.

-Oh.

0:46:460:46:49

Will you be ready soon?

0:46:510:46:53

I have to pack.

0:46:530:46:55

So I see.

0:46:550:46:57

-There's no great hurry.

-I'd like to pack properly.

0:46:580:47:02

-Can I help?

-No.

0:47:020:47:04

Don't touch anything.

0:47:040:47:06

I need to check everything's here.

0:47:060:47:09

Can I get anything?

0:47:090:47:11

You'll need your comforts at Meiktila.

0:47:110:47:14

That's not funny.

0:47:140:47:15

Wasn't meant to be.

0:47:150:47:17

Oh, hello, Carrington.

0:47:170:47:19

-We've got a job.

-I heard.

0:47:190:47:22

We'll go to Intelligence to make your flight plan.

0:47:220:47:26

-Can you be ready by 12:00?

-Yes.

0:47:260:47:29

It's only a small trip.

0:47:290:47:32

Interesting for you, though...

0:47:320:47:34

Are you ready?

0:47:450:47:46

Rigged up a hammock for you in the bomb bay.

0:47:460:47:51

Everything OK?

0:48:530:48:55

All OK.

0:48:560:48:57

Passenger asleep.

0:49:020:49:03

He's lucky.

0:49:050:49:06

By the way, this is Jap territory here, up to the river.

0:49:060:49:13

They're welcome to it.

0:49:180:49:20

Over there.

0:49:310:49:33

Mandalay.

0:49:330:49:34

0:49:340:49:37

0:52:460:52:48

Got anything for him?

0:52:490:52:51

Got some morphine here, I think.

0:52:510:52:54

Get it quick.

0:52:540:52:55

Give him this. Get him into the shade.

0:53:020:53:05

Hello, Kung Kai Cable, this is Scuttle.

0:53:050:53:10

Your QDM - 209. I say again, 209.

0:53:100:53:15

How do you hear me? Over.

0:53:150:53:18

SILENCE

0:53:180:53:20

-Keep trying.

-Yes, sir.

Hello, Kung Kai Cable, this is Scuttle.

0:53:270:53:31

Your QDM - 209...

0:53:310:53:33

How do you feel now?

0:54:060:54:08

GASPS

0:54:080:54:10

I'd like a drink.

0:54:100:54:12

Got a nice Scotch and soda, Blower?

0:54:140:54:17

I suppose you mean water.

0:54:170:54:19

We'll have to be careful. There's only the thermos and the bottle.

0:54:190:54:24

How's that?

0:54:380:54:40

We were on course.

0:54:420:54:44

Don't you worry about that.

0:54:440:54:47

You take it easy.

0:54:470:54:49

-Did they get a fix on us?

-Can't say.

0:54:490:54:53

-I kept calling.

-They could deduce our position.

0:54:530:54:57

Time alone should help them.

0:54:570:54:59

Parker saw the flight plan.

0:54:590:55:02

What's the time?

0:55:020:55:03

Hmm?

0:55:030:55:05

Four minutes past two.

0:55:050:55:07

Not quite four hours till dark.

0:55:070:55:10

They'll find us.

0:55:100:55:12

You think so?

0:55:120:55:13

Certainly. They'll rescue us in no time.

0:55:130:55:17

Meanwhile, let's get organised. See what you have.

0:55:170:55:21

I've got nothing.

0:55:210:55:23

You must have something.

0:55:230:55:25

-The smallest trifle may be useful.

-OK.

0:55:250:55:28

Medical card, three rupees...

0:55:310:55:34

Yeah?

0:55:340:55:36

-..handkerchief...

-Mm-hmm.

0:55:360:55:38

What's that?

0:55:420:55:44

You're not buying those things? They're phoney!

0:55:490:55:53

If they got a fix, which I doubt,

0:56:040:56:08

it's possible they'll locate us here.

0:56:080:56:11

-Supposing they do, what then?

-They'd rescue us.

0:56:110:56:15

They haven't got helicopters.

0:56:150:56:17

They could drop supplies.

0:56:170:56:19

We can't camp here. It's Jap territory.

0:56:190:56:23

But... What are you getting at?

0:56:230:56:26

Mind if I use your hat?

0:56:260:56:29

Carrington, are you awake?

0:56:410:56:43

Yes, I'm awake.

0:56:430:56:45

You've heard what Forrester said?

0:56:450:56:47

Yes, I heard.

0:56:470:56:49

We must be careful.

0:56:490:56:51

Knowing him as I do, we can't rely on his judgment.

0:56:510:56:56

He got us down all right.

0:56:560:56:59

We would've been killed with some pilots.

0:56:590:57:02

He's a good pilot, but we're not flying.

0:57:020:57:06

He's reckless.

0:57:060:57:08

I'm not taking any chances.

0:57:080:57:10

If we're calm, we'll be all right.

0:57:100:57:14

I need your support.

0:57:140:57:16

Got any more of those tablets?

0:57:160:57:18

Not many. We'll ration them.

0:57:200:57:22

-What's this for?

-A signal for the searchers.

0:58:360:58:40

What searchers? The Japs?

0:58:400:58:42

I mean OUR people.

0:58:420:58:45

It's time we looked at the facts.

0:58:460:58:50

I don't mind.

0:58:490:58:51

The facts seem straightforward enough.

0:58:510:58:54

Our people know we crash-landed.

0:58:530:58:56

They're bound to know our approximate position.

0:58:560:59:00

We'll look after Carrington, keep our heads...

0:58:590:59:04

-And hope for the best?

-Why not?

0:59:040:59:07

They might not find us for a month.

0:59:070:59:11

-How long will the water last?

-Under a month.

0:59:110:59:15

If we ration ourselves strictly, Carrington too,

0:59:150:59:19

I suppose it might last three days.

0:59:190:59:22

Though in this heat... What are you saying?

0:59:220:59:27

We should forget about setting up house here and start walking.

0:59:270:59:32

Walking?! Are you serious?

0:59:320:59:35

Look, we're roughly 30 miles north-east of the river.

0:59:350:59:40

This country's murder to cross, but we should make it in four days.

0:59:400:59:46

We'd reach our own patrol area.

0:59:460:59:49

And Carrington? You expect him to walk?

0:59:490:59:53

We'll carry him.

0:59:550:59:56

-How?

-We'll make a stretcher.

0:59:560:59:59

There's plenty of bamboo. We've got that parachute harness.

0:59:591:00:03

Carry a stretcher under this sun?

1:00:031:00:06

-We'll kill ourselves!

-We'll go at night.

1:00:061:00:10

-Ever carried a stretcher far?

-I'll try - even if it kills me.

1:00:101:00:15

Kill yourself if you like, Forrester. You're mad.

1:00:151:00:20

But you won't endanger OUR lives...

1:00:201:00:23

PLANE APPROACHES

1:00:231:00:25

PLANE! HEY!

1:00:271:00:29

Help!

1:00:301:00:33

HELP! HEY!

1:00:341:00:37

What is it?

1:00:401:00:42

-Dak.

-Help!

1:00:421:00:43

-Anyone we know?

-I can't tell.

1:00:431:00:46

HEY! HEY! HEY!

1:00:461:00:52

Blind fools! Never started to see us!

1:00:551:00:58

Know what it's like, searching in this country?

1:00:581:01:02

It would be almost impossible from a plane.

1:01:021:01:06

Turbulence, haze, fires - it's a million to one.

1:01:061:01:10

Blind, stupid fools!

1:01:101:01:12

Look, we've got enough water for three days, maybe four.

1:01:121:01:17

We've got no food.

1:01:171:01:19

Either we sit here and hope, or we can travel.

1:01:191:01:24

-That make sense?

-What about Carrington?

1:01:241:01:27

-We'll carry him.

-The whole idea's crazy!

1:01:271:01:30

It's crazier to stay here.

1:01:301:01:33

Now let's make the stretcher.

1:01:331:01:35

Well, Carrington should be consulted.

1:01:371:01:39

Carrington has no option. It's his only chance.

1:01:391:01:43

Well, it's entirely your responsibility.

1:01:471:01:50

Responsibility, hell!

1:01:501:01:52

We're going to try to reach the river.

1:02:041:02:08

We'll march 30 minutes, then rest 30 minutes.

1:02:081:02:12

We'll carry you.

1:02:121:02:14

It's hopeless!

1:02:141:02:15

What do you think? You'll have to navigate.

1:02:151:02:19

I don't know...

1:02:191:02:21

You can't just carry a bloke that easily.

1:02:221:02:26

It's a piece of cake.

1:02:261:02:28

We're the champion bloke-carriers of Burma. Right, Blower?

1:02:281:02:33

Try to sleep until it's dark.

1:02:321:02:36

Come on, Blower.

1:02:351:02:37

-You ready?

-All set.

1:02:491:02:53

Sing out if you feel yourself slipping.

1:02:531:02:57

OK.

1:02:571:02:58

-How about you, Blower?

-Just a minute.

1:03:021:03:05

All right.

1:03:161:03:17

Ready? Lift.

1:03:171:03:20

Ahhh...

1:03:201:03:22

AAAARGH!

1:04:011:04:03

MOANS

1:04:061:04:08

Put him down.

1:04:141:04:16

It's hopeless. We'll never get down there.

1:04:211:04:24

Will you stop saying it's hopeless!

1:04:241:04:27

We'll lower him feet first. Swing this end around.

1:04:271:04:32

-Absolute madness.

-Shut up!

1:04:321:04:34

Lift!

1:04:361:04:37

BLOWER GRUNTS

1:04:371:04:39

All right, lower away.

1:04:491:04:51

GRUNTS

1:04:521:04:54

-Look out!

-Aaaah!

1:04:571:04:59

Hold him!

1:04:591:05:01

All right, lower it.

1:05:161:05:17

Slowly!

1:05:171:05:20

That's it.

1:05:201:05:22

Take him over there. We'll rest.

1:05:261:05:29

Come on, pick him up.

1:05:321:05:34

Keep going.

1:05:351:05:37

PANTS

1:05:471:05:49

How much longer?

1:06:001:06:02

It'll be dawn soon. We'll stop and rest all day.

1:06:021:06:07

Supposing you slip and break your ankle. Then what?

1:06:071:06:12

You tell him, Carrington.

1:06:121:06:14

-We'll be up the creek.

-Right.

1:06:151:06:18

-You'll have to carry us both.

-We should've stayed put!

1:06:181:06:23

So you've said.

1:06:231:06:25

All right, let's get going.

1:06:261:06:29

Lift.

1:06:341:06:36

Aaah!

1:06:491:06:51

-What's wrong?

-There's a sheer drop!

1:07:211:07:24

-We'll never get by.

-We will.

1:07:241:07:27

-I'll go first.

-Don't you trust me?

1:07:271:07:31

Sure, but keep going!

1:07:311:07:32

All right! You're the officer in charge.

1:07:321:07:35

All right, you give the orders!

1:07:351:07:38

Theirs not to reason... Aaaargh!

GRUNTS

1:07:491:07:52

BLOWER!

1:08:121:08:14

Blower?

1:08:171:08:19

-Are you badly hurt?

-"Badly" is a comparative term.

1:08:361:08:40

-So I hardly like... Uhh!

-Take it easy.

1:08:401:08:44

The water! The thermos - where is it?

1:08:461:08:50

Right over here.

1:08:501:08:51

Everything's here. There's nothing lost.

1:08:531:08:56

Let's have a look at you.

1:08:561:08:59

There's something wrong here.

1:08:591:09:01

GASPS

1:09:041:09:06

Looks like you broke your collarbone.

1:09:061:09:09

Your face is badly scraped.

1:09:101:09:13

-You've got some antiseptic?

-Yes.

1:09:131:09:15

I'll get the webbing off first.

1:09:151:09:18

It'll be light soon. We'll see what we're doing.

1:09:181:09:23

GASPS I'm sorry.

1:09:261:09:28

-I hurt you?

-No.

1:09:281:09:30

-Just thinking of something funny.

-Oh? That's good.

1:09:311:09:34

I thought, "Fancy worrying about the water."

1:09:351:09:39

-I was worried.

-As if it matters.

1:09:391:09:42

-As if what matters?

-The water.

1:09:421:09:45

It's no use to us now.

1:09:451:09:48

Isn't it?

1:09:481:09:50

Better lie back.

1:09:511:09:53

Not for me and Carrington, anyway.

1:09:531:09:56

We might as well shoot ourselves now and have done with it.

1:09:561:10:03

TYPEWRITERS CLACK

1:10:261:10:28

-Any news yet, sir?

-Yes, Doc.

1:10:281:10:31

We've heard from the army.

1:10:311:10:33

Their nearest patrol's

1:10:331:10:35

20 miles from Forrester's last estimated position.

1:10:351:10:38

That patrol will do what they can, but that won't be much.

1:10:381:10:44

The army won't charge 20 miles into Jap territory

1:10:441:10:49

to probably find three corpses and a burnt-out plane?

1:10:491:10:53

That's about right.

1:10:531:10:55

-It looks like a complete write-off.

-Yes.

1:10:551:10:58

Well, thank you, sir.

1:10:591:11:01

-Hello, Anna.

-Tell me, please.

1:11:121:11:15

I've told you all we know.

1:11:151:11:18

Please.

1:11:181:11:20

They were on their way to Meiktila.

1:11:211:11:24

Forrester, the navigator and a passenger.

1:11:241:11:27

One of the engines caught fire.

1:11:271:11:30

There wasn't time to locate their exact position,

1:11:301:11:34

but they were over a Jap area.

1:11:341:11:37

We don't know if they landed safely.

1:11:371:11:41

-Did he know it would be dangerous?

-No.

1:11:421:11:46

It was a routine flight.

1:11:461:11:48

He was just unlucky.

1:11:501:11:52

Was he unlucky because he failed in something?

1:11:521:11:56

No. No, it wasn't his fault.

1:11:561:11:59

Then perhaps he'll come back.

1:12:031:12:06

Aye, perhaps he will. If it's humanly possible.

1:12:061:12:10

He said he would come back.

PLANE APPROACHES

1:12:341:12:37

-Forrester!

-Mmm? What's the matter?

1:12:501:12:52

A plane!

1:12:521:12:54

There it is!

1:13:021:13:04

That plane was looking for us.

1:13:201:13:23

We shouldn't have left our position.

1:13:231:13:26

Now when they see the wreckage, they'll think nobody survived.

1:13:261:13:31

That plane was on the course we were on

1:13:311:13:36

and THAT'S the way back home.

1:13:361:13:39

-Try to get some rest.

-Rest!

1:13:391:13:42

You may need it.

1:13:421:13:44

Someone must go to the river alone for help.

1:13:441:13:48

And that's you, I suppose? You're uninjured.

1:13:481:13:52

You'll leave us to rot!

1:13:521:13:54

I thought you might go. You can still walk.

1:13:541:13:59

I'll stay and look after Carrington.

1:13:591:14:02

Doesn't make much difference to me. You think it over.

1:14:041:14:09

You never liked me, did you?

1:14:201:14:23

Not now, Blower.

1:14:241:14:26

-There's a good fellow.

-I know why.

1:14:261:14:29

It's because I had a life to go back to.

1:14:291:14:34

It's my having a wife and family that you hated.

1:14:341:14:39

You need some sleep.

1:14:391:14:42

Somebody said, "In a crisis, men of action lose their heads."

1:14:421:14:47

Never thought I'd see that proved!

1:14:471:14:51

Let's talk it over later.

1:14:511:14:54

I'm making a last appeal to you.

1:14:561:15:00

Carrington's wounded - he can't think straight. Nor can you.

1:15:001:15:04

We should never have left the plane.

1:15:041:15:08

Going on is sheer madness!

1:15:081:15:10

The only sane course is to return to the plane and wait for rescue.

1:15:101:15:18

Well? Forrester?

1:15:181:15:21

Forrester!

1:15:231:15:26

Blower!

1:16:221:16:24

BLOWER!

1:16:351:16:37

What's the matter?

1:16:591:17:01

-Blower's gone.

-What do you mean?

1:17:021:17:05

Blower's gone!

1:17:051:17:06

Back to where we crashed, I guess.

1:17:081:17:12

-He left while we were asleep.

-Maybe he's right.

1:17:121:17:16

He's a clot. You know it!

1:17:171:17:20

Well, I'll bring him back. You get some sleep.

1:17:221:17:27

There's water. Use it sparingly.

1:17:271:17:29

I'll try to be quick.

Decided not to come.

He's dead, isn't he?

1:22:591:23:01

Did he shoot himself?

Poor old Blower.

What do you know about it?

I only said, "Poor old Blower."

1:23:501:23:53

Yeah. Poor old Blower.

1:23:531:23:56

He could've been right, though.

1:23:561:23:59

No. We're going to get out of here...alive.

-You mean you are.

-We both are.

It's no use my trying to walk.

You needn't walk. I'll carry you.

1:24:101:24:13

How can you? You'll never do it.

1:24:131:24:16

If I help, could you stand on one leg?

1:24:161:24:21

I'll have a go.

1:24:231:24:25

-Won't you wait until sunset?

-No.

1:24:251:24:28

We haven't got time. I'm getting hungry.

1:24:281:24:32

You all right?

1:24:361:24:38

Aaaagh!

1:24:391:24:41

-OK now?

-I think so.

1:24:441:24:46

Hold on tight. Here we go.

1:24:461:24:49

Another 50 yards we'll take a rest.

1:25:461:25:49

Do you hear me?

1:25:531:25:55

Carrington?

1:25:561:25:58

Carrington!

1:25:581:25:59

Carrington!

1:26:001:26:02

-WEAKLY:

-Sir?

1:26:031:26:05

-Are you all right?

-Yes.

1:26:071:26:10

We'll rest right up here.

1:26:101:26:12

GROANS WITH EXERTION

1:26:301:26:32

Aaagghh!

1:26:321:26:34

BOTH GASP FOR BREATH

1:26:351:26:38

I'm all right.

1:26:431:26:45

I'm sorry.

1:26:481:26:49

Time for a drink, anyway.

1:26:551:26:58

That's almost the last of the water, isn't it?

1:27:171:27:22

Almost.

1:27:221:27:23

-Had yours yet?

-I'll have some later.

1:27:231:27:27

Drink it now.

1:27:281:27:30

Let's see you.

1:27:301:27:32

All right.

1:27:361:27:37

How much left now?

1:27:571:27:59

That's the last.

1:28:001:28:02

About had it, haven't we?

1:28:051:28:07

Not yet.

1:28:071:28:09

Pretty near, I'd say.

1:28:091:28:12

-You'd better go on.

-We both go on.

1:28:121:28:17

-You'll never get me out.

-Sure I will.

1:28:161:28:20

You're getting like old Blower.

1:28:201:28:24

Why?

1:28:251:28:26

Well, face facts.

1:28:261:28:28

We can't go on without water.

1:28:281:28:31

If you were by yourself,

1:28:311:28:34

you might reach the river, fill that flask.

1:28:341:28:38

There might even be something we could eat there.

1:28:381:28:42

Fruit, maybe, or even a nice juicy trout.

1:28:421:28:47

What's the watch for?

1:29:181:29:20

It'll be dark for a few hours.

1:29:201:29:23

I might lose my bearings.

1:29:231:29:26

When it gets light, fire a shot. I'll be listening.

1:29:261:29:31

After that, fire one at hourly intervals.

1:29:311:29:34

OK?

1:29:341:29:37

OK.

1:29:381:29:40

Too bad I don't have a fishing line.

1:29:481:29:52

I'll have breakfast ready for you.

1:29:521:29:55

Just make mine toast and coffee.

1:29:551:29:58

FLOWING WATER BUBBLES AND GURGLES

1:32:491:32:53

The Lord be praised!

1:33:151:33:17

Yes. They reached the river all right.

1:33:171:33:20

He was picked up by some Naga bearers.

1:33:201:33:24

They got the navigator out.

1:33:241:33:26

-Alive?

-Only just.

1:33:261:33:28

Another hour would've been too late.

1:33:281:33:31

Forward hospital's flying them in tomorrow.

1:33:311:33:34

Anna said he would come back.

1:33:341:33:37

I didn't have faith enough.

1:33:371:33:39

AEROPLANE ROARS

1:33:391:33:42

TYRES SCREECH

1:33:471:33:49

AEROPLANE ENGINE STOPS

1:34:051:34:07

Swore I'd get out.

1:34:091:34:12

-NURSE:

-Not too much talk.

1:34:111:34:14

That's not fair, Nurse.

1:34:141:34:16

Mr Forrester and I have got lots to talk about.

1:34:161:34:21

All right, Mr Forrester. That's enough.

1:34:211:34:23

Well, I'll be seeing you.

1:34:331:34:35

Yes, sir.

1:34:351:34:37

Thanks for the ride.

1:34:391:34:43

Haven't we met before?

1:34:551:34:57

The face seems familiar.

1:34:571:34:59

-How about a nice jeep ride?

-You're sick.

1:34:591:35:03

-Go to hospital.

-You know where I'm going.

1:35:031:35:07

I'll take all the methedrine you want.

1:35:071:35:10

-Your eyes still ache?

-No.

1:35:101:35:13

Let's see your tongue.

1:35:121:35:15

What an impossible man you are.

1:35:161:35:19

All right, get in.

1:35:191:35:20

Hello, Miss McNabb.

1:35:441:35:46

Oh!

1:35:461:35:48

-SOBS

-Look at me crying like a loony!

1:35:491:35:53

Have you heard such a thing?!

1:35:531:35:56

There, there... SHE SOBS

1:35:561:35:58

Where's Anna?

1:36:001:36:02

She's in there. Asleep, I think.

1:36:021:36:04

She hasn't slept until she knew you were safe.

1:36:041:36:09

-Oh...

-You can go in.

1:36:081:36:11

-I oughtn't wake her.

-There's no need to wake her.
