What's all this for?
:58:57
We want some sort of signal
when they come looking for us.

:59:00
When who comes looking
for us, the Japs?

:59:02
You know quite well
who I mean... our people.

:59:06
I think it's time we took a look
at some of the facts.

:59:09
I don't mind looking at the facts.
They seem straightforward enough to me.

:59:13
Our people know
we made a forced landing.

:59:15
Even if they didn't get a fix on us, they're
bound to know our approximate position.

:59:19
Our job is to give them
all the help we can,

keep our heads, and...

:59:23
...hope for the best.

:59:25

I suppose it might last three days.
:59:42
Though in this heat...
:59:45
- What's all this leading up to?
- Just this.

:59:49
I think we ought to forget about setting up
housekeeping here and start walking.

:59:52
Walking?
Are you serious?

:59:55
Now look, we're roughly 30 miles
northeast of the river here.

:59:59
I know this country
is murder to get across,
