-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.
:43:00
Yai.
:43:06
Yai will take three women to help you.
:43:09
One will stay here with me.
All right, get cracking!

:43:17
You know, if it wasn't for my ankle,
I'd take Joyce's assignment.

:43:22
You think he'll be all right?
:43:24
I think so. Want me to handle it?
:43:27
I'd let you stay up here
with the mortar if I could.

:43:30
I'm sorry.
:43:32
When it's over, I hope
you get that medical discharge...

:43:35
...and not the hard way.
:43:37
Thanks.
