:45:02
The war hurts everybody.
:45:06
Rest a while, and then
we'll send you back to Balintawak.

:45:09
Your mother'll need you.
:45:11
But I'm coming back. You said I could.
:45:17
Sure, Maximo.
:45:24
... submarines have been reported
in the Gulf of Mexico...

:45:26
where they sank two American vessels.
:45:28
In Burma, British-Chinese forces
continue to withdraw...

:45:31
up the Irrawaddy river towards Bhamo.
:45:33
Last night, after six days of
ceaseless cannonading by the Japanese...

:45:36
the fortress of Corregidor in Manila Bay...
:45:38
and satellite forts,
Hughes, Drum, and Frank...

:45:40
were surrendered at 11 p.m.
by Lt. Gen. Jonathan Wainwright.

:46:14
- The news is a little tough.
- Tough?

:46:18
We're licked, Joe.
:46:19
Licked? When is a nation licked?
:46:22
Military textbooks say a war is over
when the objectives are taken.

:46:26
The United States
fought your grandfather.

:46:29
- We found the textbooks were wrong.
- Were they?

:46:32
You fought off the Spaniards
for over 300 years...

:46:34
Then the American came.
:46:35
And a handful of revolutionaries,
calling themselves the Katipunan...

:46:39
took everything we could throw at them.
:46:41
Fought us to a standstill
with bolos and clubs.

:46:43
Now the Jap is here.
:46:45
What would've happened
if we hadn't fought the Spaniard...

:46:48
if my grandfather
hadn't called out the Katipunan?

:46:51
- You'd be slaves.
- What are we now?

:46:55
I've been doing a lot of thinking
these last few days.

:46:58
I wondered why you saved me
out of all those thousands of prisoners.
