:56:03
Look, they came into my bedroom
while I was asleep.
:56:06
They painted this on my pillow.
Right next to my throat.
:56:12
This is a sign of war.
This is my death warrant.
:56:15
You're in no danger.
We'll provide sentries.
:56:17
I'm the Chief of Police.
I had four sentries there all night.
:56:20
- You're under our protection.
- Protection?
:56:24
Did you protect the Mayor of Legaspi,
or the Commissioner of Malolos, or...
:56:29
Six whole divisions at your disposal...
:56:32
and you couldn't even protect our friends.
:56:36
All you could think about was reprisals.
:56:40
Send in Miss Dalgado.
:56:43
You have my personal guarantee of safety.
You may go.
:56:45
Yes, thank you, Your Excellency.
:56:48
They might have just as easily
slit my throat.
:56:54
Miss Dalgado, tell Col. Coroki...
:56:56
why we have failed to win
the Filipino people over.
:57:00
I was not aware that...
:57:01
The guerrillas obviously have the complete
aid and sympathy of the people.
:57:05
We are interested only in a frank answer.
:57:09
There's no advantage
in cooperating with the Japanese.
:57:13
A man obeys all the Japanese laws.
When he's taken at random and shot...
:57:17
his next-door neighbor will think,
"It does a man no good to obey."
:57:21
He might as well die fighting.
:57:22
You're a conquered people.
What do you expect, independence?
:57:26
That's not a bad idea, Coroki.
:57:29
Miss Dalgado,
Tokyo has graciously consented...
:57:32
to grant full independence
to its little nephews and nieces.
:57:36
Now your people will see
the advantage of cooperating with us.
:57:39
Why, we will be able to hold these islands
with only two divisions.
:57:44
The granting of independence
must be an impressive occasion.
:57:48
- You will help us, Miss Dalgado?
- It will be a great honor, Your Excellency.
:57:54
Perhaps it would be a good idea
to hold the ceremonies at Balintawak.
:57:58
It's the birthplace
of Philippine independence.
