Mostly Aussies. Some lime--
:16:02
Some British.
Indians, Burmese, Siamese.

:16:05
And what happened to them?
:16:06
They died...
:16:09
...of malaria, dysentery,
beri-beri, gangrene.

:16:13
Other causes of death:
:16:15
Famine, overwork, bullet wounds,
snakebites...

:16:19
...Saito.
:16:21
Then there were some
who just got tired of living.

:16:24
Has Clipton seen you?
:16:26
Just about to. Come over here,
you can shave later.

:16:30
All right.
:16:33
You'll stay with the officers.
:16:36
We'll find some decent clothing.
:16:37
Don't bother about me.
:16:39
I'm not anxious to
get off the sick list.

:16:41
Besides, this is working kit.
It's the fashion here.

:16:44
The officers in your party
did manual labour?

:16:47
I think you could call it that.
:16:49
I raised that very point
with Colonel what's-his-name.

:16:52
Saito.
:16:53
-I think he understands now.
-Is that so?

:16:56
Yes. I must say he seems
quite a reasonable type.

:17:00
Well, I must be pushing on.
:17:02
There's an officer's meeting at 7.
:17:04
-Give me a list of your requirements.
-Yes, sir.

:17:07
Anything we can do.
:17:08
Thank you, sir.
:17:12
-What is it?
-Never mind.

:17:15
Go on, say it.
:17:17
I can think of a lot of things
to call Saito...

:17:20
...but reasonable, that's a new one.
:17:23
Perhaps Col. NichoIson
defines the word differently.

:17:35
Any other points?
:17:36
-By your leave, sir?
-Jennings?

:17:38
About the escape committee.
I've spoken with Cmd. Shears--

:17:41
There won't be any escape committee.
:17:43
I don't understand, sir.
Lt. Jennings has a plan.

:17:46
Yes, yes, I'm sure Jennings
has a plan, but escape?

:17:49
Where? Into this jungle?
That fellow, Saito, is right.

:17:53
No need for barbed wire here.
One chance in 1 00 of survival.

:17:58
I'm sure a man of Cmdr. Shears'
experience will back me up on that.
