For two weeks, Filipino troops have held
their front on Bataan without relief.

:07:22
And for 10 days and 10 nights, they have
been withstanding the unceasing attacks...

:07:26
of Gen. Homma 's 200,000 men.
:07:29
Don't we know it?
:07:30
Why do you fight? This is not your war.
America brought you into it.

:07:35
For every American who dies on Bataan,
seven Filipinos shed their blood.

:07:40
America has abandoned you.
:07:42
General, what do you think
our chances are that...

:07:45
That help is on its way?
Nothing we can bet on.

:07:48
What good is liberty to the dead?
:07:51
Filipinos, why do you fight?
:07:54
Look toward the sea.
:07:56
Your liberators come to restore
your homes and your loved ones.

:08:00
Filipinos, look toward the sea.
:08:03
Scotty, any word
on the concentration on our left?

:08:07
Nothing to indicate one. But there's
time for aerial reconnaissance before dark.

:08:11
Yes, we got time, all right.
But no air corps. It burned out a bearing.

:08:16
- Get Col. Madden.
- Yes, sir.

:08:19
Filipinos, why are you rotting in foxholes?
:08:23
You have no arms.
You're dying by the thousands of malaria.

:08:27
- Your homes are being destroyed.
- Col. Madden.

:08:29
- Headquarters on the phone.
- Lay down your guns.

:08:32
Spare your homeland.
:08:35
Col. Madden speaking.
:08:38
They're attacking about every hour, sir,
as usual.

:08:41
Joe, something may be pulled
against your end of the line.

:08:45
Put that company
of Philippine Scouts on alert...

:08:48
but don't commit them to action
unless the situation becomes desperate.

:08:51
- What's up, sir?
- I wish I knew, Joe.

:08:59
- Where's Capt. Bonifacio?
- He went to the cliffs, sir.
