0:01:31 > 0:01:33'is hereby called to order.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38'US Army Nurse Corps, retired,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40'will make the opening remarks.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43JESSUP: 'Thank you, Mr Chairman.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46'It's long been the contention
0:01:46 > 0:01:49'of those who oppose women in the draft
0:01:49 > 0:01:51'that should women be captured,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53'they would break.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55'Well, the fact is
0:01:55 > 0:01:58'women have been prisoners of war,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00'and their experiences are a testimony
0:02:00 > 0:02:03'to their strength, endurance, and courage.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06'104 Army and Navy nurses
0:02:06 > 0:02:07stationed on the Philippines
0:02:07 > 0:02:10were incarcerated by the Japanese
0:02:10 > 0:02:12between 1942 and 1945,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15yet their courage has been virtually invisible
0:02:15 > 0:02:17to the public...
0:02:18 > 0:02:21and has gone unrecognised by the military.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23In December of 1941,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I was stationed at Camp Pershing
0:02:26 > 0:02:29on the island of Luzon in the Philippines,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32located near the resort town of Rosario.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33The camp was used
0:02:33 > 0:02:36for what today is called R and R,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38'or rest and relaxation.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39'It was paradise...'
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Go get him, Gregg!
0:02:43 > 0:02:46OK, let's get to the good part.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Me first.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Would you open the box, already?
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Don't rush me.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00This is my first wedding shower.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04My grandmother moved faster on her diamond jubilee.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Oh...
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Gracey.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11It's so...
0:03:11 > 0:03:13religious.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Beautiful.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15I love it. Thanks.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Here. I planned to apologise
0:03:18 > 0:03:20for not having it wrapped,
0:03:20 > 0:03:22but seeing how fast you open presents,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I think we all made out.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27It's a Greek fertility god.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29More like a hat rack.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Something to hang jewellery on.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Bite your tongue.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35This intern once invited me over
0:03:35 > 0:03:37to see this ancient Buddha.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40He said if you wanted something really bad,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43you just make a wish and rub its...
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Gracey! Gracey!
0:03:44 > 0:03:46..belly.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48What is wrong with you?
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Nothing, honey.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Just a bunch of dirty minds.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I really wish
0:03:56 > 0:03:59I didn't have to resign to get married,
0:03:59 > 0:04:01cos I'll miss you all terribly.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I can't take this anymore.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04What are you doing?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Open the box, already.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13It's lovely.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14It's black.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I'd look great in this.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18I tried to find white.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20I thought you're a virgin.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21< I am.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Look at it this way...
0:04:23 > 0:04:26If there's a war, there will be blackouts.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Then you'll be right in fashion.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Leave it to you
0:04:30 > 0:04:33to see war as a fashion experience.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35KNOCK ON DOOR

0:04:38 > 0:04:39Who is it?

0:04:47 > 0:04:49All right, I'm coming.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50KNOCK ON DOOR
0:04:50 > 0:04:52I'm coming.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57You realise what time...
0:04:57 > 0:05:00The Japs have bombed Pearl Harbor.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03'Later, the Japanese also hit Clark Field
0:05:03 > 0:05:04'in the Philippines,
0:05:04 > 0:05:07'where Helen's fiance, Chris, and my Tom
0:05:07 > 0:05:10'flew with the 17th Pursuit Squadron.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12'MacArthur had grounded all our planes.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14'So when the Japs came,
0:05:14 > 0:05:18'it was like shooting ducks in a penny arcade.'
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Keep it high.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Take him to the ward.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Gently, gently.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35OK, good.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Easy, easy, easy.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Watch that IV.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Why doesn't he have a tourniquet on him?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Come on.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55He's dead. He's dead.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58SIRENS
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Here they come!
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Get under cover.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Here they come!
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Get down!
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Why bomb us, the polo ponies?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34I've got to get out.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Gracey, don't be crazy!
0:06:36 > 0:06:37She's lost her mind!
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Not you, too!
0:06:39 > 0:06:40You're all nuts!
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Let's prepare to move him.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Grab that IV bottle.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51OK, here we go.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53We need more sterile bandages.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56See if you can find some.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Looks good.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Gracey, are you OK?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Yeah. I was just thinking
0:07:05 > 0:07:08about this guy I met today.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09He was real handsome,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12like John Garfield, with more muscles.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Great. I'm practically giving it away
0:07:14 > 0:07:17to find a hunk like that,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19and you walk away with the prize
0:07:19 > 0:07:22without even lifting a hem.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23What happened?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25How'd you meet this heartbreaker?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27He just showed up.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29He began helping me with the wounded.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33When the planes came in on their strafing run...
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I hit the ground.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I wasn't sure what was happening.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Being a soldier and all,
0:07:43 > 0:07:47I looked up to ask him what we should do...
0:07:48 > 0:07:50He'd been hit
0:07:50 > 0:07:52right below the eye.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55The side of his face was blown away.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59He wasn't...falling.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01He was just standing.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Then he kind of half-turned and fell.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Someone was screaming at me to stay down,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12but all I could do was look at him.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Honey, I'm so sorry.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16I'm a nurse.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I should've done something, but I couldn't.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22You did what any of us would've done
0:08:22 > 0:08:24under the same circumstances.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I was scared to death.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Running from under that truck,
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I never would've known.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I had no choice. I'm claustrophobic.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35What if they assigned you
0:08:35 > 0:08:37to Tunnel Hospital in Corregidor?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40They did. I got out of it.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43I said I'd kill myself first.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46It's a wonder you weren't shipped home.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48They sent me here instead.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50They said the rest would help.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Oh, good.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Ha ha.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56One more week, and we would've been married.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Just one more week.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06What's important is that he loves you.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I know that.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I just can't help thinking
0:09:11 > 0:09:13that if we had been...
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I'd feel much better now.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Believe me, it's just a piece of paper.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23It's not a painkiller.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Yeah? What do you mean?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Tom and I were married last summer.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36In Hong Kong when we went on vacation.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37You should've told me.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I wanted to, but...
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I didn't want you lying for me.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44I can't believe it.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47I just assumed you'd be in for life.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Me, too, till I met Tom.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51What about your career?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I don't have to be enlisted to be a nurse.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Of course not.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59When were you going to tell them?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02When Tom's tour was up.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05So you think they're OK?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Sure. I think they're fine.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13'For the next two weeks,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16'The Japs hit us with everything they had.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19'Morale plummeted, but my girls never showed it.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22'Then on the 22nd of December,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24'they invaded the Lingayen Gulf.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26'It was total chaos.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27'Men in trucks and cars,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29'on horseback and on foot,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31'racing south to Bataan.'
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Miss Jessup?
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Miss Jessup?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Yes.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Colonel Morton ordered me
0:10:42 > 0:10:45to evacuate you and your team immediately.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Where?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Bataan. It's the only place we can defend.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51What about our patients?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53They'll be hospitalised in San Manuel.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Why aren't we going there?
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I'm ordered to get you out.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59A Jap battalion's nearby.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I'm short on men.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Somebody must stay with the wounded.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07You can stay here and be taken prisoner,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09but I'm leaving in 15 minutes.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Let's go, ladies.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Let's go, ladies.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Be careful of that stuff, you guys.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Come on, Jessup, wake up.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Ramos, pull her out.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24No! I'm missing a girl!
0:11:24 > 0:11:26That's a mortar. It's not ours.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Just a minute more!
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Either we pull out now or surrender.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I'm not about to do surrender.
0:11:33 > 0:11:3660 seconds is not going to kill you.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38That does it. Ramos!
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Then leave without me.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Here she comes!
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Can we leave now?
0:11:45 > 0:11:46When you're ready.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50What happened to you?
0:11:50 > 0:11:51I forgot something.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54What could've been so important?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57A woman after my own heart.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Hey, slow down before you get us killed.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Better that than Japs.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16The Japs are miles behind us.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Then who are they?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Look out! You'll hit them.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Of course I'll hit them.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Ah, that's just great.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Everybody out.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Grab those jerry-cans. Ladies first.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Aah!
0:13:04 > 0:13:05LAUGHTER
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Aah!
0:13:29 > 0:13:31LAUGHTER
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Get a load of them.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36You'd think they were on a picnic.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Are there fish in here?
0:13:44 > 0:13:45GASPS
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Aah!
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Aah!
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Come on.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57Aah!
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Turn around.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Turn around.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09That's not really necessary.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Turn around. Everybody.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Now!
0:14:33 > 0:14:35You can turn around now.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37What the hell's going on?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Tojo here looked like he was going
0:14:40 > 0:14:42to take some prisoners,
0:14:42 > 0:14:44so I slowed him down a little.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45And who are you?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48TJ Nolan. I was a rigger with Ramtec
0:14:48 > 0:14:51until the Japs blew it up.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Had to have a swim, didn't you, Jessup?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I knew something like this would happen.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Let's leave before his buddies
0:15:08 > 0:15:10come looking for him.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13You can join us if you like.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Give them a hand, Ramos.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Yes, sir.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22Nolan.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Since when did Ramtec hire boys
0:15:25 > 0:15:27to do men's work?
0:15:29 > 0:15:31I'm not a boy.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45'We reached the Bataan peninsula
0:15:45 > 0:15:48'and hospital number three on New Year's Eve.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50'There was nowhere left to run.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53'Rader took off with Ramos for parts unknown
0:15:53 > 0:15:56'while Nolan figured she'd be safer with us.'
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Lieutenant, an empty bed's down at the end.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Just rest up, soldier.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03You got a cigarette?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09'We worked 20-hour days
0:16:09 > 0:16:13'and lived on half-rations for the next two months.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16'When we ran out of supplies, we improvised...
0:16:16 > 0:16:20'jungle vines for traction, banana leaves for beds,
0:16:20 > 0:16:21'gasoline cans for stoves.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27'Some of the girls came down with malaria,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30'but somehow, morale stayed high.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33'Then in March, the bottom fell out.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37'MacArthur had been ordered to Australia.'
0:16:37 > 0:16:40MACARTHUR: 'The President of the United States
0:16:40 > 0:16:44'ordered me to break through the Japanese lines
0:16:44 > 0:16:48'and proceed from Corregidor to Australia
0:16:48 > 0:16:51'for the purpose, as I understand it,
0:16:51 > 0:16:55'of organising the American offensive against Japan,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57'a primary objective of which
0:16:57 > 0:17:00'is the relief of the Philippines.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03'I came through, and I shall return.'
0:17:03 > 0:17:05ANNOUNCER: 'You have been listening
0:17:05 > 0:17:09'to an address by General Douglas MacArthur.'
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I knew it.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13He's gone to get reinforcements.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16I don't believe it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Well, believe it.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20The rats are leaving the ship.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22The king rat left first.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24You're out of line.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25He never would've left
0:17:25 > 0:17:27if he wasn't ordered out.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28He'll return.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Face it. MacArthur's left us holding the bag.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33What us?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35You're not a nurse or soldier.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38You're not even acting like an American.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40It's all over but the shouting.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I can't believe that.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Haven't you heard that song?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46"We're the battling bastards of Bataan.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49"No mamas, no papas, no Uncle Sam."
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Nobody's coming. Nobody gives a damn!
0:17:52 > 0:17:55You don't have to spell it out. We're not blind.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56You're just deaf.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59We hear what we need to.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Even if it means lying to yourselves.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04All we've got is hope.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05When that runs out?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07We've got each other.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09If you can't understand that,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12maybe you should go it alone.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Fine. I will.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33You mind if I have a drag?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41I'm afraid you'll have to do it for me.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Thanks.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Seems the only thing I can still work
0:18:56 > 0:18:57is my mouth.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59What's a nice-looking girl like you
0:18:59 > 0:19:01doing in a place like this?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04It's the only finishing school I could get into.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09Did you hear anything
0:19:09 > 0:19:12about Dugout Doug leaving the rock?
0:19:12 > 0:19:15I just heard him on the radio...
0:19:15 > 0:19:17from Australia.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I guess that does it for me then.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24I mean, with MacArthur gone,
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Japs are going to hit us with everything they got,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30unless the ships come in.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35There aren't any ships.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38Screw them.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Hey.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52I got a hot flash for you.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56The ships are coming.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58That's why MacArthur left-
0:19:58 > 0:19:59To organise a rescue.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Don't lie to me.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05I'm not lying.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10He said...
0:20:10 > 0:20:12"I shall return."
0:20:20 > 0:20:23So...he's coming back.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28You can count on it.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29"I shall return."
0:20:35 > 0:20:36"I shall return."
0:20:42 > 0:20:44'After MacArthur left,
0:20:44 > 0:20:46'things calmed down for a while.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49'Nightly bull sessions were filled with talks of food
0:20:49 > 0:20:51'and rumours of rescue.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55'For the first time since Pearl, we began to hope.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57'Perhaps the ships would come after all.'
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Don.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Maybe I won the Irish sweepstakes.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Then you'll have to take us all out.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11Bad?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Say it.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17You've been drafted.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23God. Mac, I've been drafted.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Congratulations.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Tom, isn't it?
0:21:27 > 0:21:28What happened?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Come on!
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Hey, Maggie!
0:21:44 > 0:21:46How did you get in?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48We're completely surrounded.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51The Huks. Chris and I joined them
0:21:51 > 0:21:53after our planes were destroyed.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55They hate Americans.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Not as much as they hate the Japanese.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00The face is familiar,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02but where did you get this get-up?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05It hides a multitude of sins.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08What sins? You're all skin and bones, Mag.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10You're not exactly chubby yourself.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Come here, skinny.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I was so afraid you'd be killed.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Killed? What killed?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Mags, I was born to die in bed...
0:22:26 > 0:22:28with you beside me.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I'm going to hold you to that.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36You do that.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Chris and Helen, since you wish
0:22:51 > 0:22:54to contract holy matrimony, please join hands
0:22:54 > 0:22:57and express your intention before God and this church.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Helen, do you take Chris for your lawful husband?
0:23:00 > 0:23:01I do.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06And Chris, do you take Helen for your lawful wife?
0:23:06 > 0:23:07I do.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I pronounce you man and wife.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Yay!
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Oh, wait a minute.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52# Good night, sweetheart

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Sure, I'm fine.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13You're awful quiet.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I'm worried, that's all.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Well, don't worry.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20What do you know about surviving in the jungle?
0:24:20 > 0:24:21You're a pilot.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24The Huks will teach me whatever I'll need.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25They scare me.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26Me, too.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29But I'd rather be with them
0:24:29 > 0:24:30than any other outfit.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33You know I'm a fast learner.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38I'd like you to have my West Point ring
0:24:38 > 0:24:40and my father's watch for safekeeping.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41No.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44I'd feel better if you took them.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46It's like saying you won't return.

0:47:41 > 0:47:42Afraid so.
0:47:42 > 0:47:43Don't be.
0:47:43 > 0:47:44It's a blessing.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46The Japanese are a superstitious lot.
0:47:46 > 0:47:49Possession and insanity are the same.
0:47:49 > 0:47:50She'll have nothing to fear.
0:47:50 > 0:47:53Won't they just kill her?
0:47:53 > 0:47:56They'd be terrified that her devil spirit

0:48:14 > 0:48:17I'm Nolan.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20That's Kathryn Grace. We call her Gracey.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22Did you pick up some food?
0:48:22 > 0:48:24We couldn't stop at Horn & Hardhart.
0:48:24 > 0:48:27We got rice and water.
0:48:27 > 0:48:28There aren't any children.

0:48:39 > 0:48:40I'm Molly Carstairs.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43My husband John owned a sugar plantation nearby.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46There's no other medical staff?

0:48:50 > 0:48:52He comes whenever he can.
0:48:52 > 0:48:53Between beriberi,

0:48:57 > 0:48:58Where's the hospital?
0:48:58 > 0:49:01In the men's compound, there's an area called a hospital,
0:49:01 > 0:49:05but it's really just a place to die.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25Why does the camp commander
0:49:25 > 0:49:27speak with an American accent?
0:49:27 > 0:49:28He's a countryman of yours.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30He's an American?
0:49:30 > 0:49:31Born in San Francisco.
0:49:31 > 0:49:33You're kidding.
0:49:33 > 0:49:35He was studying in Japan
0:49:35 > 0:49:38when he was inducted into the military service.
0:49:38 > 0:49:40How do you know?
0:49:40 > 0:49:41Know thine enemy.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43At least he's an American.
0:49:43 > 0:49:47I shouldn't expect too much from that.
0:49:47 > 0:49:49He is, as you say,
0:49:49 > 0:49:52between a rock and a hard place.
0:49:52 > 0:49:53His men won't trust him because he's American.
0:49:53 > 0:49:56We can't trust him because he's Japanese.
0:49:56 > 0:49:59It's not him I'd worry about. It's Kodama.
0:49:59 > 0:50:00Who?
0:50:00 > 0:50:03That man who wanted to kill your friend.
0:50:03 > 0:50:06You made him lose face
0:50:06 > 0:50:08in front of his commanding officer.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10He'll never forgive you.
0:50:16 > 0:50:18Ohayo!

0:50:19 > 0:50:20Hmm?

0:50:23 > 0:50:24Cin?
0:50:30 > 0:50:32What's so funny?
0:50:32 > 0:50:35Ohayo in Japanese means good morning.
0:50:39 > 0:50:42# Good night, sweetheart
0:50:43 > 0:50:46# Till we meet tomorrow... #
0:50:49 > 0:50:50Good night, sweetheart?
0:50:50 > 0:50:53I'd like to give them all a good night!
0:50:53 > 0:50:56It's just their way of lowering our morale.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59How much lower do they think we can go?
0:50:59 > 0:51:01A thousand times lower.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03They found that many records
0:51:03 > 0:51:05when they took over.
0:51:05 > 0:51:08I never paid attention to the hit parade
0:51:08 > 0:51:11before I got in this dung hole,
0:51:11 > 0:51:13and now I'm going to become an expert.
0:51:15 > 0:51:16Thanks.

0:51:30 > 0:51:32No. I'm still awake.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37You and Tom ever think about having kids?
0:51:39 > 0:51:40That's why we got married.
0:51:40 > 0:51:42Chris and I wanted kids.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45We talked about it all the time.
0:51:45 > 0:51:48There'll be somebody else.
0:51:48 > 0:51:49No, there won't.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52There'll never be anyone else.
0:51:52 > 0:51:55Don't think like that.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57It'll make things much worse.
0:51:57 > 0:51:59Try to get some sleep. OK?
0:52:00 > 0:52:01Yeah.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04Good night.

0:53:47 > 0:53:50If one prisoner in a work party escapes,
