The Great Raid Page #3

MacArthur's conquered the southern

islands. He's landed here on Luzon.

Good ol' Dugout Doug.

He can take in the sun for a few days,

then head on back to Australia

like he did the first time.

The information's good, Major.

I'm in that office every day.

We don't know how close MacArthur is

or when he'll reach Cabanatuan.

Tell the men the best thing to do is sit tight

and stay calm till we find out more.

Yes, sir.

- Make sure McMahon gets that.

- Yes, sir.

(POW) Come on, get up!

- Come on, get up!

- (Guard speaks Japanese)

- They caught Hewitt.

- Who was watchin' him?

Poor dumb bastard

couldn't even wait till it got dark.

(Guard shouts in Japanese)

(Speaks Japanese)

(Hewitt yells)

(Japanese) You are responsible for this.

You surrender like cowards,

then you run away like dogs.

He'll die, because none of you

had the courage to stop him!

(Whipping continues. Hewitt yells)

(Japanese)

(Guard shouts in Japanese)

Redding.

(Speaks Japanese) I need food.

(Grunts)

Colvin, watch his back.

- How much?

- Five.

- You should not have come.

- Neither should you.

(Guard yells in Japanese)

(POWcries out in pain)

The guards are getting

harder to bribe.

What we really need is more medicine.

Carlos and my father were questioned

by the Japanese last week.

They are watching us.

Then tell Margaret

not to take any more risks.

(Speaks Filipino)

You think she'll listen?

(Guard shouts in Japanese)

Is there anything else

you want me to tell her?

Just to take care.

There is some quinine in the peanuts.

Take some yourself, huh?

You don't look well.

(Colvin) Who's Margaret, Red?

She's an American nurse who was married

to his commanding officer.

He died of malaria about a year ago

in one of the other camps.

- (Colvin) Is the major involved with her?

- (Redding) What makes you ask?

(Colvin) Nothing.

He just sounded concerned.

Well, he wasn't involved with her,

but he should have been.

Her husband

didn't give a damn about her,

and Gibby couldn't give a damn

about anyone else but her.

- Why didn't he do something about it?

- 'Cause he's a gentleman.

He'd never fool around

with another man's wife.

I, on the other hand, might.

(Colvin) Where is she now?

(Redding) She's still in Manila.

Who do you think smuggles

all the medicine into the camp?

(Prince) In 1941. Manila was considered

the pearl of the Orient.

An international city where people

from all over the world lived and worked.

That all changed

when the Japanese took over.

They believed

that as a conquered people.

The Filipinos should do

as they were told.

Those who disobeyed were jailed.

Tortured or executed.

This made the bond between the Filipinos
