There's two more of them than this!

Yes, you could walk.

Here you go again.

Now, potato.

Be a good luck now. I'll look in later.

I'll be up then.

Oh, that styron, my poor thing.

Thanks for your help, Maggie.

Keith! Keith!

I don't mind helping out with a little one.

Grappers like her that get on me weak.

Tinkle! Tinkle!

Women! Up!

Up you too.

Oh, my.

Pickle! Quick!

Women up! White rabbit!

Sergeant, how are you today?

Where are you going?

To myself.

The wash. I've been on sick to you two.

Quick! White rabbit!

Little sod.

Rabbit! What? Where?

I meant white rabbit.

You know, July the 1st.

Oh, so it is.

I bet they can't be. Holy Moses, they've been in this dump over two years.

Counting your blessings.

I mean, I used to dream here three.

Did someone say it was July the 1st? Yes, Edna. There's nothing special about

July the 1st.

Well, actually, it's my birthday.

Oh, Alice, I didn't know.

Neither did I. Happy birthday, Alice. Is it her birthday?

She's just said so, Edna.

Have a happy day, dear.

Never mind, Alice. It's the last birthday you'll spend under the noose.

Well, you haven't licked in no time.

I know that, big boy.

One day quick, or I'll punish!

And that.

Take off!

One minute higher.

Take off!

Come on, quick!

Quick!

Quick!

Quick left.

Oh.

Mother did. What, Mary Beck?

She lasted this long. She went down the same time as Laurence. She will be left

in the punishment hut to rot.

I prepared the body and made out the details.

Don't talk!

Come quick!

You can't get up!

You can't get up!

Hello,

are you here? No talk!

He's God, let him trip and break his bleeding neck.

Since when did you believe in God?

I'd have a quick conversion if it was Satan.

But he didn't do the job properly with that bomb. Get him instead of Shinya.

Three and a half years we've had of him.

I keep forgetting he was at your other camps.

Like an unlucky mascot.

The commander

says

we

expect he would like to hear the latest...

He says that the Allies have suffered another defeat in Okinawa, that many

British and American ships have been sunk and many lives lost.

The Australians too.

have suffered many losses in Borneo when they tried to attack the oil fields.

He says that the brave Nipponese forces have driven them back into the sea.

Hey -ho, here we go again.

I wonder what's really happening.

That'll be the day when you tell us the truth.

Kate!

Kate, one moment.

When are you going to take heart of me? As soon as Satan's found the death

certificate. It was bad enough having her next to me when she was dying, but

this? Give her to rest, Van Meyer. We'll move her as soon as we can.

How can I eat my breakfast lying next to a corpse? What makes you think you're

going to get any breakfast?

They haven't reduced the rations again.

Give them time.

Can you help me turn E?

This is so hard now.

She used to be such a friendly girl.

A lot of things used to be.

Give me.

What did it say?

The usual date and cause of death.

What made her die?

What cause it said.

What was this?

Malnutrition. What does that mean?

Not enough food.

No, no, not so. No, that's malnutrition. I beg your pardon, but that's... No, I

can't die malnutrition. On the contrary, most of the deaths... You like she die

old age.

At 28.

Bad heart, he stop.

Sorry, I can't.

You right. I will not falsify a death certificate.

You not know cause.

You bad doctor.

Old woman.

No see good.

I can see enough to know when someone died of malnutrition.

Right bad heart or I punish.

I punish all women.

No food till right.

about Alice's birthday.

I'll try and get something out of Yamouchi when I go to HQ.

You have better luck with him than I'm having with the girls.

We could make her a special card.

Marion, are you off the paper?

Could you manage some more?

I need some for my diary, too.

I don't know why you bother keeping it.

Might be useful to look back on one day.

They'll find it sooner or later and destroy it like they did the other one,

won't they?

Wouldn't it surprise me if they didn't shoot the lot of us before the Allies

here?

Don't be so silly, Dorothy.

Good Lord, may God be with her.

So, who do you want moved in?

Mrs Lee. She's down with a fever again.

Oh, nurse, in future, would you not put malnutrition as cause of death?

Sato's orders.

Made me change Mary's certificate.

So, what did you put?

I put Merasmus.

Isn't that the same thing?

Yes, well, we know that, but he doesn't.

I told him it was Latin for heart failure.

Crafty. Yes, well, I want the record straight when we get out of here.

You are keeping the cake notes up to date, aren't you? I'm doing my best.

it's essential that they are kept up to date. Look, I can't do everything.

It's all right, Liz. It's all right.

Here I am, Doctor, ready for duty. Be quiet, Edna.

Another airplane?

All

right

for them, isn't it? Easy to be heroic on a full stomach.

Do you mind? Bloody cheek.

Okay, hello.

Oh, hello.

Do you want to use the lab?

There's no hurry.

Oh, you're lucky. Half of them are down with dysentery.

Gosh, it's... Stinks in here.

Do you want to try the six, Al?

Oh, I hear it's your birthday.

Many happies.

Thank you.

How old are you?

17. Never.

I still remember you as one of the kids.

Yes, everybody does.

Well, well, sweet 17 and never been... Anything.

Never even spoken to a man.

Any nips?

Any daddy?

Oh, well, you wait till we get out of here.

No one would be interested in me.

Look at me.

Flaps of pancakes.

You'll fill out once you get proper food into you.

Kate, do you think... What?

Well, I haven't ever had one proper period.

Two years ago.

Do you think it'll, you know... Don't worry.

We'll all get back to normal once we're home.

You've got a fiancé, haven't you? And one of the men's come.

I hope I am.

All right.

It's all yours.

I'm going to get some kit.

We've taken Brunei, then. And somewhere else in Borneo, too, as far as I can

make out.

Oh, I wish my ballet was better.

Monica was fluent.

Don't tell anyone, not until Christina's checked it.

It's good news, though. So much for Satan's foolish.

Did you... Do you remember what Dorothy said?

About doing us in before the Allies get here.

Can't pretend the thought hasn't occurred to me.

No, me.

Never know how the buggers will react.

If... if it comes to it... We'd have to fight back, wouldn't we?

I finished the list, Major. What would you like me to do now?

You speak?

I wondered what else you wanted me to do.

Bring me a glass of water.

Yes, Major.

Thank you.

You look at the photograph?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

You look.

It is my daughter with her husband and a baby. My grandson.

I didn't know you had a grandson.

No, I before now.

Women prisoners complain they receive no letter, no news of family.

We also have much delay of post.

He is born now six months.

He looks a fine baby.

Yes.

He's very like you.

You think?

Oh, yeah.

There's a definite likeness.

I hope that I shall live to see him.

Your daughter is very pretty, too.

She look like her mother.

Major. Yes?

One of our girls has a birthday today.

Alice Courtney.

It's her first birthday without her mother.

She died last year.

We were wishing.

We've nothing to give her, you see.

You give this to go.

Japanese are generous to prisoners.

Thank you, Major.

Generous, my arm. Good, better than nothing.

I don't know when I'll have to take a biscuit or anything with cake.

Aye, talk about crumbs from the mustard table. Alice is the generous one,

sharing them with all of us. And she's given half of them to the children.

That's unfair.

Help yourself.

Here,

this bit's bigger than the others.

The birthday girl must have the biggest bit.

Shouldn't she wish first?

Oh, yes, yes.

The birthday girl must have the biggest bit.

I just wish that we'll all be home soon.

And that Daddy, all our friends and relations will be waiting.

Oh, Dick and Ben. Me too.

Well, come on, Trash, what are we waiting for?

Scrumptious. You should have picked them over the head, Christine, and pinched

the whole packet.

What's up, Dom?

How's your happy diet?

Can't I save it for a minute?

I'm going to sing Happy Birthday. Oh, no, Josh. Oh, yeah.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, dear Alice.

Quiet!

You mean sing?

I don't say no sing, no entertain.

No, Captain, we weren't singing.

You're right. I hear sing. I mean, we weren't holding any sort of

We were singing a birthday song for Alice. It's a British custom on

British custom.

No thing? No birthday?

We can hardly cancel birthdays. No things!

Please.

Sorry, Captain, we didn't mean to disturb you. What's this?

It's a birthday card. We made it for her.

Where you get the paper?

We tore it out of one of our books.

You tore?

Now shut up. Please don't. Quiet!

Women sing! No more!

One day I'm going to kill that bastard.

The British forces have received further defeat.

and humiliation in Sarawak when they tried to take the port of Miri from the

Japanese.

Oh.

I shall be the next to die. You must talk like that. I shall talk how I wish.

Oh, we are sorry for ourselves today.

There's no need to treat me like a child.

You don't want to throw your hand in now when the news is so hopeful.

What if we do get out of here?

What life is there for me?

My home looted. All my beautiful possessions gone.

And my husband, too.

Look on the bright side. He could still be alive.

His name was not on that list of survivors.

If not, you know what they say.

When God shuts the door, he always opens a window.

And then puts bars across it.

What was that?

Oh, nothing.

Just leave me to die in peace.

Women!

What is it now, Mrs Van Mare? Do you think you will find me a small scrap of

paper? I wish to make my will.

I think that's a little premature.

I feel I shall go any minute, poof, like a candle.

That's very much doubted.

Now, Mrs Lange, how are you feeling?

I shall not leave her anything.

Nor that nurse nor a cider.

Hold that a moment.

I don't know.

You've had more black eyes since we've been here than...

Than hot dinners, certainly.

Should take its normal course.

I'm more concerned about this arm.

It's all not healing. Damn thing.

I'll just put a new bandage on.

I say new, boiling much more and they'll fall to pieces.

You must keep it covered, Joss, because you know what happens when the flies get

near. Aye, they'll be laying eggs in no time.

Filthy blighters.

A number of maggots I pick out of wounds.

Remember your leg, Maggie.

Don't I, Joss?

Joss? Do you think those leaflets really were dropped by the Allies?

That's my guess. Then it could be it.

Fingers crossed.

When we do get out, you still want to train to be a doctor?

It won't mean much training, will I? I've been doing the job for the past

Well, I have. I do all the examinations, anything that requires any skill.

Hell, I've done two amputations. And who has to keep all the records?

I barely seem to write a name. I wouldn't mind if I got any credit, but

just nurse this, nurse that. Nurse, will you hurry up with that, please? I'd

like you to take over in here.

See what I mean.

Just coming.

You're done.

She's right, you know. If it weren't for her, I'd have lost my legs.

Tinko! Tinko!

How do you want to punish?

Tinko! Tinko!

How do you want to punish?

Tinko! Tinko! Timmy!

Timmy, stop that.

I'm Captain Sato.

I know.

We've won. We don't know that.

Mummy says we have dirty lips.

No, we can't be sure. We've heard nothing definite, and until we do, it's

to upset them.

Jefferson's right, Timmy. We mustn't do anything to make them angry. Now, behave

yourselves.

Go on, speak to the mothers. Stupid creature.

Take off!

Take off!

Timmy! Timmy! Stop!

Are your eyes hurting?

Yes. I've got conjunctivitis now, on top of everything else, dammit.

Nothing concrete.

No word from your native.

Not a sign.

Christina says everyone in the town is glued to the wireless.

She hasn't managed to hear anything. She keeps tabs on her all the time.

You put in a request for a meeting with him?

Oh, I've given up asking.

Doubt if he'd tell us the truth anyway.

If he knows the truth, Jesse, he's been fobbed off with false propaganda from

above.

What do you think our chances are?

Good morning,

Major.

What would you like me to do?

You will complete all this and leave everything in state of tidiness.

From today, you will not come here anymore.

I don't understand.

You will stay in camp with other women, not work in office.

Does that mean... Is my work not satisfactory?

Satisfactory. You are not pleased with my work.

Your work is very good.

Very satisfactory.

It is for other reasons.

You are not leaving, are you, Major?

No, I'm not leaving.

Then why?

Not ask question.

Obey order.

We must all obey order from higher authority.

Even when we not like.

Stop.

You speak some net.

Not much.

Oh, me.

We can't have surrendered.

Ask Christina.

Christina? Where's Marion?

Marion, where is she?

I must meet her, Maggie.

Sit down and tell me calmly.

He kept looking at them. I could tell they were official.

I waited till he went to the lavatory.

He'd shot them in his desk. I was terrified he'd catch me. Did you manage

read them?

Only the top one.

It was an order from their high command.

It said that any question of defeat or peace was rejected.

That when the Allies make their final attack on Southeast Asia, all prisoners,

civilian as well as military, are to be massacred.

James, James, Morrison, Morrison, whether it be George Dupree, took great

of his mother, though he was only three.

James, James, said to his mother. Mother, he said, said he.

You must never go down to the end of the town if you don't get... Dorothy, you

can't go in there.

Who said?

Mrs. Jefferson, they're having a meeting.

Who are?

The committee. I'm keeping KV.

She said you're to go into Thel too if you want to spend a penny. I don't want

to spend a penny. I want to spend a hotting fortune.

Um,

James, James, Morrison's mother, put on a golden gown.

James James Morrigan's mother treads to the end of town as she gets there.

Well,

it's what we always feared, isn't it?

Somehow I didn't think even David would be so.

Why not? Had no qualms about killing us off slowly, have they?

But this, in cold blood.

You're sure Christina wasn't mistaken?

Joan, it's not the sort of thing you make a mistake about.

After all we've been through. Oh, let's not waste time, Billy Akin. Jot is

right. We must agree a plan of action.

When do you think they intend to shoot us?

Let's not be livid about it. Could be any time.

Presumably we're going to get some warning.

I think they'll put up a notice, do you? Grand slaughter at Tenko tomorrow. It's

not a joking matter, Joss. You're damn right it's not. Then presumably Yamauchi

will put in an appearance.

Wouldn't count on it.

He usually leaves the dirty work to Satan. No, an express order from high

command. He'll see that through.

And that's three officers.

And five guards.

That's eight at the most. What if they bring in more for the occasion?

Doubt it.

They won't expect much opposition from a baby half -starved female. They won't

get much, either.

Don't you believe it?

They won't get rid of us that easily.

But Joffrey would never help. She's right. Most of us can hardly walk, let

fight.

Amazing what one can do when it's a question of survival. We've nothing to

with. No weapons. Not conventional ones, perhaps.

It's all right to show them, Mary.

Alice is keeping watch.

Come and look.

A hoard?

What do you think? Stones?

Joss and I have been collecting them for quite a while.

We'd all arm ourselves, would we? Not all. Each group leader would pick a

fittest people.

Even so.

With only a few stones.

Amazing what one can achieve with a willing stone. And the stones are only

to distract them while we make a rush for Yamouchi. Yes, but say we did manage

to overpower them.

What then?

But have you moved to your hostage? You've got access to his radio. We know

we've got friends among the natives. And we may be able to contact the men's

camp. We'd never manage it.

They'd kill us all off before we'd even got across. They don't tend to do that

anyway.

We've got nothing to lose.

Are we all agreed, then? We make a fight of it?

I don't know. Yes.

Yes, all right.

Let's draw the list. But I'm not going to be any use to you, I'm afraid. I'd

better stay with the sick.

Take Norris with them. Yes, there's Maggie.

And Dorothy. Oh, I don't think so.

Why not?

They're healthier than most of us. And why?

Because they're in with their nips. You'd hardly let them shoot us. How can

be sure?

Maggie's straight as they come, I'll swear to it.

Tough little fighter, too. Yes.

She may use the Japs. She hates them more than anyone.

Oh, all right.

We'll have her.

But what about Dorothy?

She doesn't hate them, does she?

Remember Shinya?

Can we really be sure of her?

You don't take any risks.

Fancy snack?

Grasshopper.

It's quite tasty.

Not bad.

Caught several by the guard up.

Maggie? Hmm? What's going on?

How do you mean? Come off it, I'm not stupid.

Everyone's in huddles.

Meetings of the chosen few, and you're in on it, aren't you?

Don't stay out.

The Nips are planning to shoot us all.

Christina saw the order in Yamuchi's office.

Surprise, surprise.

Committees formed a fighting squad to protect us. Just a couple of dozen,

otherwise it'd be chaos.

Apparently, Joss suggested you.

Some of the others voted her down.

They think you're in with the Japs. Why, because I make up to the gods? Well, so

do you! And only for food. I didn't get personal with one.

Oh, for Christ's sake, that was over two years ago.

I never thought of Shinya as a Jap. It was just Shinya.

Any road, there's no help to stop you fighting.

Most of the others will join in once we start.

I'll get you some ammo and tell you the form.

What do I care? Let them shoot me.

What is there for me outside?

Come on, Edna.

It's all right.

It's all right, Edna. It's all right.

Come on.

There you go. I don't know if they intend to do it here or take us

outside the camp.

We must be prepared for either eventuality.

We're hoping that the guards will be lined up at the front instead of

around like the usual tenko. They won't want to risk shooting each other. Pity.

That'll solve everything. So with any luck, we'll be concentrated in one

direction. Now, we must make sure that we all form the front rows when we line

up. Each of you will be armed with three stones.

Joss, from now on, you're all responsible for your own ammunition.

Make sure that it's easily accessible.

Just aim to go to the bucket face and give them everything you've got. I must

emphasize again the need for secrecy. No one but ourselves must know.

But surely the others should have a choice.

No, Maggie.

It's their line. They've a right to know. We've talked it over. We don't

telling everyone.

Too many blabbermouths, you are. The last thing we needed, even panic.

She's right, Mindy. It's in their own interest. Who says?

The committee does.

Well? This could be it.

Marion, Kazakis has written a line up in the courtyard. Young, would you want to

speak to us? I'll tell the other group leader.

Right.

Calmly now, and remember, wait for my signal before you start any action.

What are you doing?

Don't ask questions. Just go and line up at your room, honey. I'm hungry for

some northern.

What do you want?

Marry him, please. I'm a very good girl.

Come on, honey.

Let's put that old cretin's leg in.

George! Marion!

Stay behind me. When the action starts, just follow my lead.

Careful of my bad arm.

So far, so good.

Women, not...

You wonder why I come to come today.

I have important reason.

This is to be for women prisoners.

Tengo!

This thing is not easy for me.

But it is necessary that I carry out order of

Japanese Emperor.

It is therefore that I do this difficult act.

I am ordered!

We inform you that the war is ended.

Now there is peace.

Go on, Marion.

You're in charge now.

I'm not touching it. Wait till I'm around it.

We have some food.

Take it down, Walter.

Thank you.

So, you have a victory.

You must be glad.

It is good news for you, but not for us.

Perhaps you would tell me the exact situation, Major. The events leading to

surrender.

You are surprised that Honourable Nipponi's forces do not fight until end?

Yes, I am.

It was the original intention.

But then our Emperor gave new order.

British and Americans have done terrible acts to my people.

They have made a bomb more big and more destroying

than any other bomb.

They have dropped such bombs on my country.

Two cities are completely destroyed.

Hiroshima, Nagasaki.

Many thousands of women and children are killed by

terrible injury.

Babies, even.

Japanese emperor, in order to save his nation from total destroying,

accepts terms of surrender.

I'm glad the war is over.

I'm very sorry it had to end this way.

If the Javanese fight only human forces, it is certain they win.

So nothing definite has been arranged for our release.

No, nothing is known.

There is still much negotiation to be done. Many problems.

Women must wait.

I see.

In the meantime, women are to remain under control of Japanese.

No, I'm sorry, Major, but under the circumstances... This is the order of

Admiral, Lord Mountbatten.

He say so for your safety.

Some Japanese do not obey order of our emperor.

They continue to fight.

Also, many natives do not wish for return of Dutch coroners to Ireland.

They too make trouble for you.

As officer and loyal servant of emperor, I obey order.

I try to protect women.

till arrival of British forces.

Thank you.

But there must be no more demonstration.

No bad feeling between women and Japanese.

No act of revenge.

Otherwise, you will be in much danger.

Stop.

We're going after Satan.

Wanna come?

Pay him back for a thing or two.

Can I come too?

My mother died because of him.

Come on.

Let's give him what I want.

Thank you.
