:23:27
- Is this everybody?
- Yes, sir.
:23:36
I was told I'd find
some Philippine Scouts among you.
:23:40
Cpl. Cruz, 26th Cavalry,
Philippine Scouts, reporting, sir.
:23:43
Good, Corporal. Anyone else?
:23:47
- Where are you men from?
- Mostly from Balintawak, sir.
:23:51
Ever handle guns?
:23:56
- Just bolos?
- Our fathers used them well.
:23:59
How well I know.
:24:01
I guess you understand we're taking on
a job that would be tough for trained men.
:24:06
We're gonna blow up a gasoline dump
on a Japanese airfield...
:24:09
50 miles the other side of Balintawak.
:24:12
There will be from 400 to 500 Japs
on the field.
:24:14
- How many?
- 400 or 500.
:24:22
A mere trifle, like we say.
:24:25
We'll start tonight after dark.
:24:26
That ought to put us at the airfield
by dark tomorrow night.
:24:29
Between now and sundown,
Sgt. Bernessa will give you instructions.
:24:33
Listen to him carefully
and do exactly as he says.
:24:37
- Take over, Sergeant.
- Yes, sir.
:24:48
Things look rough?
:24:51
A little rough.
:24:53
In that case, smell this stew.
:24:59
Go ahead, smell it.
