If not for the train, we could
set a time fuse and be miles away.

:41:20
Since we don't know
what time it'll cross tomorrow...

:41:23
...we'll have to do the job manually.
:41:25
...we'll have to do the job manually.
:41:26
We'll set the charges
against the piles...

:41:28
...about three feet underwater,
l should think...

:41:32
...and run the main wire
downstream to the plunger.

:41:36
The problem is where to hide it.
:41:44
Our side of the river is
obviously used by the Japanese.

:41:47
They'd spot it at once.
:41:53
Look. Do you see
those fallen tree trunks?

:41:56
And the grey rock just below them
on that little beach?

:42:00
-Yes, sir, I see them.
-That's our key position.

:42:04
The wrong side of the river...
:42:06
...but it's the only hiding place
within feasible distance.

:42:11
As soon as the bridge goes up...
:42:13
...whoever's there
will have to swim back.

:42:16
lt won't be a pleasant swim.
:42:18
Sir, I was the best swimmer
in my course.

:42:24
lt looks like
your line of country, then.

:42:26
Thank you.
:42:27
Shears, pick a spot on our side
of the bank where you can cover Joyce.

:42:31
Yai will be with you
so you can occupy the Nips...

:42:34
...if they make trouble for Joyce.
:42:36
On the theory that
there's always one more thing...

:42:39
...I'll set up the mortar here
to create an additional diversion.

:42:43
Perhaps I might even take
a few potshots at the train.

:42:47
All clear?
:42:48
Any questions? Right, you'll
start as soon as it's dark.

:42:52
They're sure to have
sentries on the bridge...

:42:55
...so you'll have to float
the stuff down from upriver...

:42:58
...which means building a raft.
