Return from the River Kwai Page #3

Synopsis: A group of war prisoners has spilt blood, sweat and tears to construct a bridge over the river Kwai in Thailand. Just when the bridge is ready, an American bomber arrives and destroys it. Camp commander Tanaka wants to set an example and orders that some of the prisoners must be executed. Just in time major Harada arrives with orders that the healthiest prisoners must be transported to Japan by train and boat. A treacherous journey since the allied forces keep a close eye on railroads and practically own the seas. The prisoners are thinking of plans to escape. Meanwhile the American bomber has been shot down and its pilot, Leyland Crawford, is being rescued by the indigenous people, the Meo. The Meo have formed a resistance group against the Japanese, led by the British colonel Grayson.

Yes, apparently they are done with him.

The Tanaka zint not

that he should play second fiddle.

He has turned.

We must stop the withers.

What did you have in mind?

- That you have let me know.

Inside.

I'll bring you a prisoner.

- Okay.

Do you have something to learn?

- He knows nothing.

Leave me alone with the prisoner.

- But, Major ...

Come on, Lieutenant.

Yes, Major.

Please ...

My apologize for my overzealous

fellow officer.

The war, the best

or the worst in us to top.

You speak English?

I was military attach

at our Embassy in London.

Where do you live?

- Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

I can eat for you to bring

if you want.

No. If you want to interrogate me,

I know nothing.

That is not necessary. It is now our duty

for Japan to achieve.

Moves us to Japan?

- Yes, our country will you like.

It is very beautiful.

These prisoners return

to Japan ...

... might be my last job

military.

It is not the Orient Express,

but welcome aboard.

You are a tough. Most would

collapse under such torture.

I could not tell.

How is the war in the north?

We hunt them from Burma?

They are on the run,

except in a few border areas.

We yearn for news

since they took our canary.

A radio that the men had built.

We got the news from Calcutta.

The Japanese have too many men

lost.

So bring us to Japan.

Do you see something, Captain?

- No, they have all darkened.

Try to form a line.

Swallow your quinine?

- It is.

This gives you a few days ahead.

The track is in several places

destroyed ...

... and troop transports are given priority.

Let the prisoners their field bottles

fill and go to the toilet.

Impossible, then we can

not monitor.

On my responsibility.

You are no longer able

for command to execute.

How dare you?

- Look around you.

The soldiers are my faith, Major.

All right, boy?

- Yes, it would be worse.

You know Captain Hunt yet,

Lieutenant Crawford.

They have heavy losses.

- Say that again.

Come on, we could not miss.

Some of us do.

You wasted food and water.

- These are your men.

Soldiers who can not fight,

are useless.

Back to the wagons.

Row with us, Crawford.

Then we can talk.

Do you find it?

- Yes, but Tanaka would get suspicious.

Yes, since Miller is not

to harden.

What is that?

We ride in Phnom Penh.

Major Harada.

We stop here, Benford.

- My men are hungry.

It's too dangerous.

The Allies bomb every day.

We must wait until Saigon.

When did you eat?

- Together with you, Major.

Crawford, quickly.

This is my stop. One of

that baby is my name.

Your halts me

considerably worried.

The ship is still not ready.

The train leaves in two days.

The delay was inevitable.
