DAY 2
- January 28th

:22:02
We left 6th army quarters
with very little information.

:22:05
The only advantage we had
was the element of surprise.

:22:09
We faced the two day walk, through
open terrain, patrolled by the enemy.

:22:14
All we take is if single
Japanese scavenger spot us,

:22:17
our mission would be over.
:22:19
Let's go!
:22:23
- Ready? Let's move!
- Moving up!

:22:28
We all knew the ideal
was to rescue POWs.

:22:35
We didn't spend much
time thinking about it.

:22:38
As far as we were concerned, we're
going to rescue them or die trying.

:22:49
- They're gonna just leave us?
- I don't know what they're doing.

:22:55
Get this quina to the
doctors. You know the drill.

:23:05
They must be retreating.
Even the press is leaving.

:23:09
Hey major, Mori's leaving too.
:23:17
Let's think you were right, kid.
:23:19
General McArthur has
got them on the run.

:23:22
They're not on the run, they've
got orders to fight to the last man.

:23:27
- It's a trap.
- God damn elaborate one.

:23:32
We walk out of those gates, it'll give
them the perfect excuse to kill us.

:23:35
Since when do they need an excuse?
:23:37
I don't know about you, but I'm getting
out of here before they changed their minds!

:23:41
How far do you think
you'll get, captain?

:23:43
Even if the Japs shall retreat,
jungle is gonna be crawling with them.

:23:47
What's wrong with that, we're
still soldiers, ain't we?

:23:49
Hey, major's right. Where are we
gonna go? Almost no one can walk.

:23:53
I don't recall inviting you, kid.
:23:56
But I'm the one to be behind.
:23:59
I never said we'd all leave
but at least some of us might.
