All language subtitles for Ambush Bay (1966).en

They were the quietest
bunch of guys I'd ever seen.

way or if they just had nothing to say.

Check the waterproofing on that radio
private, may run a little rough going in.

No sweat sarge I used
to deliver wedding cakes.

I'll take about 30
seconds head start, we'll

guide on the right edge of the village.

Like the man said, silence is golden.

I'm sorry sergeant,
just not used to walking.

Well, you'd better
get used to it fly boy...

because anything happens to you or this

radio, we turn this party
around and go home.

May I ask the nature of
this mission sergeant?

No, you may not.

I'm captain Davis,
Sergeant Corey and you?

Right.

Smoke.

Don't you noted? They got the whole
island in Mindanao to stuff their faces...

like to pick them in
the middle of our path.

You want to try and go around them?

I can't, it's a reinforcement
battalion somewhere in this vicinity.

They're probably part of it.

We jump them, wake up
the whole neighborhood.

Let's do it.

Shooting gallery style.

Four rifles, one man missing.

Captain Davis is dead.

Want move out right away.
Ross, Reynolds, go get his body.

Parrish, George, bury him up there.

Amado.

Try to make this mess look like
was done by guerillas, use your knife.

- Ernie.
- Yeah.

I want to get into heavy growth.

Have George take point, Amado
with him, you can bring up the rear.

- Right.
- Grenier.

Remain in the middle at all times...

giving maximum protection
to that radio, got that clear?

Damn.

Let's move out.

They must've felt something,
but nobody reacted.

It was like in football
when a guy gets hurt

and none of his teammates
pays any attention.

The point seemed to be to create
the impression that we didn't exist.

To leave things as we found
them whenever possible.

Of course, there are times in
life when you have to improvise.

Too good to be true.

I can't figure it out, feel like we're in
a stadium with a bunch of jap spectators.

You think the Airedale
is going to cut it?

Got two days, then the name
of the game is going to be hurry,

I don't know, he's not
used to this kind of life.

- What you find out about him?
- Oh, you know the stories these days.

He thought blue would go
better with his eyes than khaki.

So now he's a marine, five years
ago, would've booted him out on his butt.

- Today is you and me.
- You guys got any powder?

I mean my feet are about
to go up with my hands.

I guess I just ain't used to this jazz.

Would you like scented or plain?

Hey Stub, you got any left lavender?

Gee, I forget whether we
got lavender or sweet pea.

That's no problem.

Hey, would you like us
to draw you a nice hot tub?

- Alvin?
- Oh, you guys are putting me on.

None of you guys ever seen a bathtub.

You stand out in the rain
like a bunch of horses.

Knock it off.

Now look gentlemen, this is the first...

and last friendly little squabble we're
going to have amongst each other.

And I do not jest.

Is anyone want to question my sincerity?

Bury your cans.

Tank sarge, just over the right.

- Infantry support?
- It's hard to say, I didn't see any.

Right, we'll bypass them.

Tell them to close up, keep
together and no conversation.

Reynolds.

It's George.

Damn noise is going to bring
every jap on the island down on us.

Get our people, let's
get the hell out of here.

Maccone, Parrish, get Reynolds.

Come on, move.

Come on.

Hold it.

It's 11 hour, run your radio check.

Put him here.

Alright men, start digging here.

Diamond blue, diamond blue, this
is nugget. Do you read me? Over.

Diamond blue, diamond blue, this
is nugget. Do you read me? Over.

Diamond blue, this is nugget. I read you
five by five, let's keep it that way. Out.

It's Ok.

Come back here marine.

I'm going to tell you this just once.

This radio is part of you,
you don't put it down ever.

You don't eat, you don't sleep, you don't
breathe without it. You read me private?

I don't want to see it again
without you wrapped around it.

Sergeant Corey, if this radio is more

important to this
mission than you or me...

don't you think you
should tell me what the

hell I'm supposed to accomplish with it?

I'll tell you when the time comes.

But don't you think the
time is come, I mean,

how many more men
are we supposed to lose?

We're not supposed
to lose any men private.

But we're also not supposed
to bump into a tank or...

a bunch of japs on their
way to a Turkish bath.

We did Ok, that's our tough luck.

And your tough luck happens
to be that you're along.

Why don't you just
try to adjust to that, eh?

Stay away from things that
you've never done, like thinking.

Sergeant, I've had enough of that guff.

I'm not in the infantry,
but I'm getting sick...

and tired of having my
nose rubbed in it, you know?

Look, all I want to know is
what I'm doing here, that's all.

- Without all the silent smirks.
- Lower your voice Grenier.

Come on marine, help
over here with the digging.

I wouldn't ask him too many
questions, he's got a lot on his mind.

Yeah sergeant, well,
somebody better start...

telling me something around
here, because I can get very nasty.

We're here looking for
an intelligence contact.

Seems though the japs have
got a hold of some big news.

Now, this contact knows
just how much they know.

But he's been cut
off, his radio is out of

business, so we got
to get to him ourselves.

- And radio back the information.
- Give that boy a cigar.

Where do we look?

He's in a tea-house in Pangassan.
It's a jap rest camp, that's all we know.

- Pangassan?
- Pangassan.

Who goes in to see him? Amado.

Oh, what if he isn't there?

Then we'll have failed
our mission, won't we?

Does anybody know what
the information is about?

The Japanese are expecting
MacArthur's return to the Philippines.

They may know when and where.

If they do we got exactly 38
hours to get your voice on that box...

with the right information.

- Why 38 hours?
- That's when the invasion fleet sails.

Hey, what's this guy's
name, our radio contact?

Miyazaki.

- Miyazaki?
- Miyazaki.

Hey, how we getting out of here?

I mean, they are going to pick
us up some place, aren't they?

Sure, they're going to send
a limousine to Pangassan.

Chauffeur is probably there now.

He kind of grows on you, don't he?

Amado.

Go up and check that
Ridge, then take us up.

Parrish.

Take point.

Belatic.

- What is it?
- Trap used by Moros.

Let him catch enemy, kill him dead.

- Who's their enemies?
- Anyone.

Strip him of his supplies and bury him.

Hey sergeant, you want some gum?

- Thanks.
- My mouth gets like a tractor.

- You don't say a hell of a lot, do you?
- Want me to recite you a poem?

Look sarge, I'm sorry
about this afternoon.

I was out of line but
it won't happen again.

I'm just not trained for this
sort of work but I'll make it.

You mind if I ask you
a personal question?

Do you enjoy this?

I mean, you seem to get
tougher each time we lose a guy.

- You a psychologist?
- Right-o.

Sergeant Wartell, can
I ask you something?

You're the only guy
around here that'll talk to me.

What's sergeant Corey
got against me anyway?

Just because I'm not a
gravel cruncher like you guys?

Hasn't he ever met a flyer before?

It matters more to it
than that, it's long story.

Is just that we ain't used
to working with amateurs.

I used to know a guy like that once.

He was the floor walker in a department
store I used to work in men's shoes.

I guess he figured I
had to be some sort of a

nitwit, because I was
a stock boy just hired.

Did you ever stop to
think it might be you?

No. See, he was king around there. I
mean, that's where he wanted to be.

The carnation, the whole bit.

And this is where
sergeant Corey wants to be.

And he figures nobody
belongs here but him.

When did you get out of
the stockroom Grenier?

- In April, that's when I was called.
- April.

In April, he was in the
Marianas, sneak and peek recon.

That's where he got the silver star.

Or was that in March?

No, march was Eniwetok.
Before that, it was Tarawa.

Tarawa, that's where he
got hit took a load of shrapnel.

Knocked him out of
action for three months.

Couldn't find an aid man that
lay even money he'd last 24 hours.

Eight weeks later, he was told to lay off
calisthenics or rip open his incisions.

You see, he wants very much
to be here private Grenier.

And it's a damn lucky thing for you.

Look sergeant, I'm sorry I
mouthed off this morning. I...

Forget about being sorry and
just take care of that radio of yours.

Maybe your big mouth
will come in handy after all.

They were a couple of real friendly guys.

I was beginning to feel like
hugging the first jap I saw.

Who is he?

Japanese soldier, he was
caught by Moros but he escaped.

He want to be taken prisoner.

Prisoner?

What the hell are we
going to do with a prisoner?

Maccone.

Sit him up against the tree trunk.

Don't take your eyes off him,
you get sleepy, you wake up Ross.

I'll decide what to do
with him by morning.

In case.

- I'd hate to be in Corey's shoes.
- Japs, either.

Japs wear sandals.

He died.

They all went by like he
was part of the landscape.

Nobody looked to see if
there was one extra bullet hole.

I was curious, but somehow
I preferred to remain ignorant.

Maccone, supposing
we do find this village

and the tea-house,
how we going to get in?

Well, we just going walk right in.

See, we going to rent
us some jap uniforms,

then we going all get our eyes fixed see.

We got this plastic
surgeon coming over here

later on today and he's just going to...

fix our eyes so that they slant, see?
So we can just walk right on in the door.

Cover.

- But Amado...
- Cover.

No firing.

They got him, cold.

Why the hell didn't we shoot?

Because we're not here.

As far as they know, he's the
last man of the guerilla's party.

Ok, now move out.

Ernie...

Pangassan should be just over that hill.

- I'm going to go in.
- What if you don't come out?

Then you get yourself a field promotion.

Eight bucks more a
month, lots of responsibility.

That's it.

You cover me only
when I'm coming out, but

don't open up unless
you absolutely have to.

- Right.
- Grenier...

Stay out of any action. Stick
with that radio, you understand?

Right sergeant.

Steve, bring me a kimono.

Hey Ross, watch the back door.

Hey Maccone...

What the hell do they do in a tea-house?

Filipino? Are you a Filipino?

Do you speak English?

A little.

Miyazaki, Miyazaki.

- Miyazaki?
- Get him.

Please get Miyazaki, bring him here.

Yes sir.

God.

Who are you?

Now look ladies, I
ain't got a lot of time.

I'm looking for a guy named
Miyazaki and I'm not above slitting...

both your lovely throats
to find him, where is he?

I am Miyazaki.

Don't fool with me lady.

- You better come with...
- Where?

Will you please put that down?

- Where?
- To my room.

Suppose I refuse to
believe you are my contact?

Midori.

Alright, let's have the information.

I expected a Filipino,
if you're found here...

- I'll be dead.
- That won't help me.

He desires me, I
believe that's the phrase.

- Have you a radio?
- Across the river.

- I have to go.
- Why? Is it in code?

No, but it's complicated.

Where's your pickup point?

- Why you want to know that for?
- Because I'm going with you.

Is that right? Then what?

Then home, long beach, California.

Sergeant, sergeant.

There's a jap patrol coming up
the trail about 200 yards away.

- There's close to 20 of them.
- Yeah? Grenier, you take cover.

If Corey comes back before
we do, you stick with him.

Yeah sarge, but what...

No buts about it, you stick out of
this. You understand? Those are orders.

Come on with me, let's go.

- They're heading right for that bridge.
- And right smack into guess who.

Let's spread out, and
don't start firing till I do.

- I count three of us.
- But they don't know that.

- Who the hell is that?
- Miyazaki.

She's from Long Beach.

- Got to clear out of here and fast.
- Wait.

I'm not going anywhere with you.

Maccone?

Ross too, over there.

- Where's your radio?
- Shot off.

- Can it be fixed?
- No, it's smashed to pieces.

Go get Maccone's ammo,
we're going to need it.

No radio?

Oh, I hope you folks
have enjoyed the game

as much as we've
enjoyed bringing it to you.

- Let them take you Ernie.
- Look, I don't want any more medals.

Take it easy on him.

Six months ago he was
stacking shoe-boxes.

Morphine.

Use it.

Ernie...

Which way is your soldiers?

Pretty tough pal, which way is yours?

If you're not true to us, we shoot you.

Oh, don't do that, getting
shot gives me a headache.

How many men, your soldiers?

Including the European
theater, I'd say about six million.

If you're not true, we shoot you Joe.

Oh, you want the truth?

Yeah, well, the truth is I don't
feel so good, come closer, will you?

The truth is that I'm hungry, you see.

And guess what I got
to eat for everybody.

Baked potatoes, yeah.

Wait a minute fellas, come back.
You can eat these with the jackets on.

The Japanese
photographed this, Hollandia.

They know the invasion fleet will strike
from this side, bypassing Mindanao.

They are prepared for it
to pass right through here.

- Have they assumed right?
- On the button.

They've laid mines all through the area.

A minefield means nothing, they'll
sweep that channel before Mac goes in.

- Minesweeper action won't clear this.
- Why not?

They're bottom mines anchored to weights.

They can be released in waves
by a remote radio control device.

They float to the surface and detonate.

Any ships passing over when
that field floats up will be wiped out.

What triggers it?

A submarine on lookout duty,
specially equipped to release the mines.

Is there any chance we can head off the
fleet if we get back to our pickup point?

They sail tonight. Another 48
hours MacArthur will be there.

We'll never make it back there in time.

Smack into an ambush.

Isn't there any other way of triggering
that minefield besides a submarine?

There's an alternative device if anything
should go wrong with the submarine.

It's at Bucan Bay, the control center.

That's it then, we could set it
off before the fleet passes over.

Sergeant, that's impossible.

You'd never get in and you
couldn't work the device anyway.

Ok, fine.

Fine. Yeah, maybe
you're right, maybe I can't.

Maybe we going to get ourselves caught.
Maybe we going to get blown to hell.

Or maybe we going to get bitten by

rattlesnakes. Oh, what
do you suggest lady?

How far is it?

From here, about a
day and a half, with luck.

You heard of the term, piggy bank?

- Is that an offer or a question?
- Either way.

- Don't you ever complain sergeant?
- Sure.

I haven't heard you say a word yet.

I'm in charge, I can't.

- What did you do before the war?
- Complained.

Of what?

Everything.

The depression, Hitler...

downtown Cincinnati, my kid brothers.

You want to swap life stories?

How many kid brothers?

Two.

Billy was killed in north Africa,
Don just made the marine corps.

- When did you make the marine corps?
- December 8, 1941 at 9 A.M.

What were you doing when the war started?

Making love...

to a 40-year old divorcee who
made a career out of her figure.

I meant, where were you.

Fountain Plaza hotel.

Beach boy, towel dispenser,
head gigolo all rolled into one.

Yeah, was a great life. Too
bad there had to be a war.

Yes, isn't it?

My folks would still be in
their home in long beach...

instead of the internment camp
out by the Santa Anita racetrack.

I suppose it's for our own protection.

Maybe they're afraid
we'll poison your gardens.

How did you? How you
get in this line of work?

I was a civil service
employee in long beach.

I'd had a good record.

- So you volunteered?
- So I volunteered.

I never thought it would
take me to what it took me to.

But then the same must be true for you.

Not quite, you left something you liked.

You didn't? Divorcees with suntans?

- I meant yourself.
- Don't you like yourself sergeant?

I didn't.

I like you.

Hey, I got clean and
polluted, which do you want?

Clean, you idiot, nobody
gets polluted until 5 o'clock.

Idiot.

That was the first nice
word he'd ever said to me.

- You are Americans?
- Yeah.

What about her? She is not an American.

Yes, American born.

- American soldiers?
- Marines.

Working for general MacArthur?

Well, yeah. Sort of.

Oh. Welcome, American soldiers, welcome.

Friends, General MacArthur has returned.

Wait, Japanese, many soldiers.
Here soon, look for Americans. Come

Max, we got to try to get out of
here, how do we get to Bucan Bay?

Go behind.

Pass water...

boat there. Take boat down Bucan Bay.

That's Koyamatsu.

- You know him?
- Yes, he's sober now.

A human pig, he torture you first...

I could detain him.

Max could drag me out of here.

Captain Koyamatsu
would be happy to see me.

I could tell him you disappeared
in the jungles five miles back.

That you'd forced me to go with you.

It could give you a chance.

Can you make him believe
you? Hold his attention?

I have always held his attention.

And if I know him, he'll
be only too happy to.

Are you going to let her do this?

Do you know what will happen to her?

Now wait a minute, you can't do this.

Forgive me.

It's not you.

Hey, Corey, you stink.

When I say go, we go.

Now.

Sergeant?

I'm sorry.

You were right, as usual.

To release the mines...

we have to transmit a radio
beam through a directional antenna.

The only one I see is
up there on that tower.

All we got to do is find
the right button and push it.

How do we get pass our little friends?

We better stay away from that
fence, it's probably electrified.

We got to give them a little crisis.

See those oil drums?

How do we set them off from here?

I could plug a hole in one,
but it wouldn't blow them up.

Is that a gas tank back there?

- Yeah.
- What about a Molotov cocktail?

Just not wake the driver up.

Walt till he tries to drive away.

Do you have a match?

We could inform the boy scouts.

This is it.

- But it's all in Japanese.
- Can you work it?

It'll take a few minutes.
Can you give me some time?

Can you do it in three minutes? Because
that's about all we're going to get.

- Yeah.
- You got it.

Two and a half.

Corey, come on, we
did it, we got them all.

Now when it was all over,
I felt qualified to begin.

I kept thinking, all he had wanted
me to do was send a signal on a radio.

When I finally did, it was to
arrange for the pickup of one survivor.

Corey was a guy who made
you do things you couldn't do.

I was living proof.

It all seemed sort of crazy.

But who's to say?

My dear friends, I have returned.

I am, once again...

in this land that I have known so long...

and amongst this people
that I have loved so well.
