to Port Moresby.

Counting on intelligence.

It's not gonna be easy,

we've only got canoes.

My apologies, Captain.

We have been tricked.

This island was a peaceful place

until that areoplane crashed.

But the aeroplane did crash.

And now we have these people here.

A strange American with

a mysterious Japanese prisoner...

...and a handful of soldiers

from the sea.

We formed this group to oppose

the Japanese when the time came.

Is this not the time?

Seems they're trying

to decide whether we're winning

the war or the Japs are.

Trying to work out which

side to back.

We cannot help these men escape.

The Japanese will kill us all.

My friends...

How will you

leave without the community?

I don't know yet.

You know what your father said

about war not changing anything?

He's wrong,

it changes everything.

How?

We might never have met.

Is that a good thing?

What's the situation?

I don't think

they'll give us away to the Japs.

Some are with us,

and some aren't.

They're taking a vote.

Sh*t, this isn't

the time for democracy.

That's a price quote

considering what we're supposed

to be fighting for here.

By the way,

the Japs found our canoes.

Those of you who do not wish to

help should return to your homes.

But those of you who choose to

stay must stand by your decision.

The fisherman will stay with you,

we believe it is time to act.

Sounds like

they'll stay with us.

Good.

Why is it good?

What have we ever done for them?

Aren't they supposed to be

on our side?

But now we're on theirs.

Now look, it's alright for us.

We arrive, we wreak havoc,

we leave.

But they stay,

they're left to face the music.

Well, we could always just...

What?

Well, your orders were

to get him out of here

or make sure he's dead, right?

Knock him off, boss.

Shoot him,

grab a fishing boat, and go.

And who'll do it?

I will.

So much for promises,

young Captain.

I'm taking him out, understand?

No, I do not.

Now look, we kill him,

that's one death.

But if we don't,

it's a massacre.

Now you get hold

of yourself, Danny.

I came here to do a bloody job,

and we're all gonna do it.

Excuse me for interrupting.

There's something I have

to say to all of you.

Now, you know that

we have a Japanese with us

and that we need your help

to get him away from here.

But he is not a fighting man.

He's trying to bring peace.

He could help end the war.

I will not tell you

that we are your friends

or that the Japanese

are your enemies,

but I will tell you that

the war has come to this island

and that you must choose a side.

I don't know what sort

of world our victory

will make for you,

but you do know yourselves
