: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,

:59:21
look after Carrington,
keep our heads, and...

:59:23
...hope for the best.
- What's wrong with that?

:59:25
Nothing, if you know
what the best adds up to.

:59:28
They could look for a month
and not find this place.

:59:30
- How long will the water last?
- Not as long as a month.

:59:34
I've got a quart and what's left
in the thermos flask.

:59:37
If we ration ourselves strictly...
and Carrington, too, mind...

:59:40
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,

1:00:02
but we ought to be able
to make it in four days, even without food.

1:00:05
If we make it,
we'll be in our own patrol area.

1:00:07
We'll have water to see us through.
1:00:09
But what about Carrington?
You don't expect him to walk, do you?

1:00:15
- We'll carry him.
- How can we?

1:00:17
We'll make a stretcher.
There's plenty of bamboo here,

1:00:20
and we've got a parachute harness...
we'll fix up something.

1:00:23
Carry a stretcher all that way in this heat
under this sun? We'll kill ourselves.

1:00:26
We don't go in the sun.
We go at night.

1:00:29
Have you ever carried a man
on a stretcher for any distance?

1:00:32
No, but I'm gonna try,
even if it does kill me.

1:00:35
Well, you can kill yourself
if you like, Forrester.

1:00:37
You've been round the bend for ages
and everybody knows it.

1:00:39
But you're not going to endanger our lives
just because you don't give a rat...

1:00:50
Help!
1:00:54
Help!
