:17:06
You're building me up
for something, Skinny.

:17:10
- Let's have it.
- You're going out, Joe.

:17:14
- Where?
- To organize general guerrilla resistance.

:17:17
And leave my Scouts?
:17:19
You can't do that to me, Skinny.
I've spent most of my life...

:17:23
The President just ordered
Gen. MacArthur to Australia.

:17:33
Well, then, I guess I can leave the Scouts.
:17:37
I don't have to tell you what
the boys of Bataan have gone through.

:17:40
They've been bothered
especially with planes.

:17:43
They've pinned us down
until we're helpless.

:17:45
We've been combing them out of our hair.
:17:48
Anything you can do
to relieve the pressure.

:17:51
We'll do the best we can.
:17:52
- Haven't got much time.
- What about men?

:17:55
You'll have to take pot luck.
There're a few men in the hills already.

:17:58
A scattering of scouts
and Philippine troops who were cut off.

:18:02
ROTC boys we couldn't equip,
and a few civilians.

:18:06
Here's a map reference to a small group
near the town of Balintawak.

:18:11
You'll leave by PT boat at midnight.
:18:13
That doesn't give me time
to get back to my men, does it?

:18:16
No, it doesn't.
:18:17
- I have my sergeant with me...
- Sure, take him along.

:18:20
And one thing more.
:18:26
You have a source of information
you'll have to guard at all costs.

:18:29
- It comes over Radio Manila.
- Radio Manila?

:18:33
Yes, it's the girl, Dolici Dalgado.
:18:35
I know the stuff she's broadcast is poison,
but it would've gone on the air anyhow.

:18:40
- She's doing more harm than Jap guns.
- Harm?

:18:42
It was a tip from her that kept
your reserve company of scouts...

:18:46
out of action and saved the whole front.
:18:48
Last night, she warned us
about Yamashita's arrival.

:18:51
- That'll be good news to a friend of hers.
- Joe...

:18:55
nobody knows about this
except you and me...

:18:58
now that Gen. MacArthur's gone.
:18:59
- It'll have to stop there.
- Yes, sir.
