...for it is they
who betrayed you by surrender.

:21:04
Your shame is their dishonour.
:21:07
It is they who told you...
:21:10
...better to live like a coolie
then die like a hero.

:21:14
It is they who brought you here,
not I.

:21:18
Therefore, they will join you
in useful labour.

:21:24
That is all.
:21:25
Officer prisoners, collect your tools.
:21:29
Bradley, back in your place.
:21:38
I must call your attention,
Colonel Saito...

:21:41
...to Article 27
of the Geneva Convention.

:21:44
'' Belligerents may employ
prisoners of war...

:21:47
...who are fit,
other than officers--''

:21:49
Give me the book.
:21:50
By all means.
You read English, I take it?

:21:53
-Do you read Japanese?
-I'm sorry, no.

:21:55
If it's a matter of translation,
I'm sure it can be arranged.

:21:59
You see, the Code states that--
:22:03
Stand fast in the ranks.
:22:05
You speak to me of Code?
:22:09
What '' Code''?
:22:10
The coward's code!
:22:14
What do you know
of the soldier's code?

:22:16
Of bushido? Nothing!
:22:20
You are unworthy of command!
:22:34
If you refuse to abide by the laws
of the civilized world...

:22:38
...we must consider ourselves
absolved from our duty to obey you.

:22:41
My officers will not do manual labour.
:22:45
We shall see.
:22:49
All enlisted prisoners to work.
