You must not fight.
The odds are against you.
... send more men than...
- Hello, Carlito.
- Hello, Colonel.
... preparing for this war for years.
They have not yet been...
- How's the arm?
- Okay, Colonel, sir.
Take care of it.
I'm keeping an eye on your guitar.
Thank you, sir.
The army of Gen. Homma
will join the battle in Bataan.
Filipinos, there is no honor in this fight...
What do they call that DSC
you're getting for today's action?
I'll trade you that medal
for one shot at the loudspeaker.
No deal. Can't always do what we like.
I've got orders to report to Corregidor.
- What for?
- I don't know.
I'm to turn over my command
to Col. Roberts.
- Can I go with you?
- We lost Maj. McKinley today.
You'll take over his battalion.
We must work with them.
We must show
that we are worthy of their help.
We must stop this senseless war at once.
- Hi, Colonel.
- Did the chow get here?
- Yes, sir, Colonel.
- Good.
Andrs...
I know every man in this outfit
by his first name.
- I've known them since they were kids.
- Don't worry about them, Colonel.
You have your lives and your honor.
Filipinos, lay down your arms.
- Col. Madden reporting, sir.
- Colonel.
- Hello, Joe.
- Hello, Skinny. It's good to see you.
- Have a seat.
- Thank you.
- We're gonna make fast talk.
- Where's Gen. MacArthur?
How are things going
down at your end of the line, Joe?
We could use a little more food.
We're running out of horses and mules,
but we'll get by.
Sure you will.
- American.
- The last.
You're building me up
for something, Skinny.
- Let's have it.
- You're going out, Joe.
- Where?
- To organize general guerrilla resistance.
And leave my Scouts?
You can't do that to me, Skinny.
I've spent most of my life...
The President just ordered
Gen. MacArthur to Australia.
Well, then, I guess I can leave the Scouts.
I don't have to tell you what
the boys of Bataan have gone through.
They've been bothered
especially with planes.
They've pinned us down
until we're helpless.
We've been combing them out of our hair.
Anything you can do
to relieve the pressure.
We'll do the best we can.
- Haven't got much time.
- What about men?
You'll have to take pot luck.
There're a few men in the hills already.
A scattering of scouts
and Philippine troops who were cut off.
ROTC boys we couldn't equip,
and a few civilians.
Here's a map reference to a small group
near the town of Balintawak.
You'll leave by PT boat at midnight.
That doesn't give me time
to get back to my men, does it?
No, it doesn't.
- I have my sergeant with me...
- Sure, take him along.
And one thing more.
