What in the hell are you

doing with him?

We were on our way to

Port Moresby.

We were shot down.

Yeah, I know.

We were sent in to get you.

Nobody said anything

about a Nip.

Who is he?

I've already told you

who he is, soldier.

Now, who are you?

I'm Lieutenant Jan Veitch.

Got here pretty quick,

Lieutenant.

Yeah, I ran.

Very funny.

You are on your own, Lieutenant?

Most of the time.

What's that?

It's a note from

his daughter.

The survivors have been taken

to Bintang on the coast.

She's gone there with Veitch.

Kelly and the others

haven't arrived yet.

Not to worry.

They know how to take care

of themselves.

You go back to sleep.

Don't go.

Tell me something,

what does your name mean?

Jan Veitch?

Nothing much, really,

just that my father was Dutch.

Names don't always have to mean

something.

Chinese name do.

I know, Chien Hua.

Vivid bright, it suits you.

Are you a married man, Veitch?

I was.

Where's your family?

Up the hill with your father.

Your real family.

Dead.

Japanese.

My mother also.

I like your hair like that.

What will happen tomorrow,

Veitch?

We'll take those men and go.

What about you?

I don't know.

You should knock.

I knew you were here.

How'd he know you were here?

Because you love Jan Veitch.

Do you like me, Chien Hua?

He's only a child.

You didn't waste

any time, did you?

I wouldn't say no to

another one of those.

Thanks, mother.

Oi, you've been doing alright

for yourself there, sir.

I do not want you close to him.

As you wish.

War does not change our Chinese traditions.

It does not change anything.

You should be very proud of

your children.

Perhaps.

I'm sorry, father.

Let's get back

on the job.

The job?

Do any of you know

who we've been after?

His name is Imoguchi,

Japanese War Ministry.

Used to be a military

attache in London.

He's a deserter, is he?

More like a defector.

I knew he was a...

That's funny, I didn't

have orders to shoot you

if he brought trouble.

I did.

Hell, I wouldn't be

in this outfit

if I'd known it was

a stinkin' Jap.

Mr. Ayres.

Paul Kelly, Captain Kelly,

Australian army.

We'll be taking you on to

Moresby.

How?

We have rendezvous with a sub.

You know, Captain,

the first lesson for a young officer is

never make promises in wartime.

We'll be taking you out tonight.

How badly is he hurt?

Mainly his leg.

What about you?

Something wrong in here.

Well, it's gonna be

a bit of job getting you out.

How many men do you have?

Four.

- And who's in command?

- I am.

It's vital that we get him

out of here.

He's a very valuable commodity.

You're going on to Washington.

You know that?

Mm-hm, I'm to deliver him
