Thought we'd pay you a little social visit.

Oh, no, you don't.

Weren't thinking of leaving us, were you?

Because we've got a few scores to settle first.

Do you know we don't use your gun?

I'll tell you why.

Because shooting's too good for you, shitface.

We want to enjoy this.

No!

You stay there like a rat you are!

Leave it.

But surely now the war's over. Maybe over, but for the moment we're under

Japanese control.

These are our orders from the Allies.

Seems rather dangerous now. Some Japs are fighting on. Some of the natives

formed nationalist groups.

Major Yamouchi guarantees to protect us, provided his men are not provoked.

Well, perhaps you'd better tell Maggie that.

Who's going to first go at him, eh?

Alice, how about you?

But for you, Satan, our mother would still be alive.

For you, Your Honour.

Remember how she got those scars on her arms?

She might just stub a few fags out on yours.

That's what it's going to be, eh?

Dot, you've got a lot to thank him for.

Remember our baby.

Throw those lights away.

Very well, Mrs. Jefferson.

Captain Sato accept apology.

He now forget what happened.

But there must be no more incident.

So long as we're not expected to kowtow to the little buggers. What's the

difference between kowtowing and actually provoking them? We don't know

it'll be before we're released.

Apparently negotiations are still going on. And until our forces do arrive, we

don't take any risk.

Both Plato and Kow will be free to roam around with sword and gun.

They will remain armed, yes.

Ironic as it may seem, we might need the Japanese to protect us. Not to see the

state protecting me.

What's to say they won't do what we thought they'd do before, shoot the lot

us? Yes, especially now that we've dropped those bombs in Japan. The

entirely different now. I have made Yamouchi's assurance that his men will

harm us. Then when did his word come for anything?

Whatever he may or may not be, Yamouchi is a soldier of honour. He's been

ordered by his empress to follow Lord Mountbatten's instructions regarding

internees. I believe he will.

Provided, that is, that we do ask... Do our bit?

Do our bit?

I take it that there won't be any more tenkos? Better not be. I'm not back for

another day as long as I live.

Nor me. Now, don't worry. There'll be no more tenkos, and bowing certainly won't

be necessary. All I'm asking is for you to avoid any further actions or words

that might lead to... to unpleasantness.

Unpleasantness? How really mouth can you get? I know!

It won't be easy.

But please.

Oh, please, try to exercise some restraint.

I tell you, once we get out of here... Please, Maggie, Marion is trying to

speak. It's essential that we stick to our normal routine.

Sanitary arrangements, care... All that must be carried out... Well,

I'm not... cupping floors no more, nor looking wood. They can carry their own

bloody buckets of water. Clean their own drains, too. I was about to come to

that. I told Major Yamouchi we're not prepared to do any more heavy work. He's

arranging for some coolies to be sent in. Poor devils. What about food?

There'll be extra rations of rice as soon as they can... You will all soon be

able to buy additional food from the locals.

I? And are we supposed to pay for it?

I was coming to that as well.

Women help themselves.

All is now just.

We can barter with that. The natives need clothes. We need

food. We can't live on butter and bloody condensed milk.

Happy now? Yes.

You wonder why I have not opened store before.

We did not know how long war lasts.

You would have received many more ships if our eyes had not blown up Japanese

Red Cross ship bringing many parcels.

It is because of this we must save other supplies.

You blame American submarines, Mrs. Jefferson, not Japanese.

lipstick, would you?

No.

Lipstick.

I give you this.

You give me chicken.

Yeah?

No. Chicken.

and don't bowl right.

Best meal I've ever had.

He's bringing another one tomorrow.

Might bring a fish.

Might have you understood me fish, ma 'am.

Looks more like pickled net.

On this diet, I might just survive until the Allies get here.

Oh, cooked in butter, too.

Wonder what the men are doing as well.

According to Yamaguchi, they're being treated the same as us.

Oh, did you ask him about visiting them?

Yes.

He thinks it would be unwise at the moment. There's a lot of hostility from

locals. Oh, come on. The ones you know are friendly enough.

They were traders picked by the Japs. Apparently there is a lot of violence.

Yamouchi's promised.

Wives and girlfriends will visit as soon as it's safe.

I'll just have to hang on then.

There.

That's the last you'll see of that stinking rag.

Fresh bandages today.

Doctor!

Doctor! All right.

One vitamin.

One quinine.

A week on those and I may allow you up.

Right. Now, Edna.

More comfortable with your new bedding?

I want you to swallow these pills, hmm?

That's it.

Swallow them down. I'll soon have you better.

Down the little red lane.

Yes, that's right.

There's a good girl.

Better.

Good girl.

Mama!

Good morning, Major.

You come to work?

Yes, if you want me to.

I know you sent me away last week. That is because the war is ended.

I cannot order women to work.

I'm here of my own free will.

Mrs. Jefferson thought you might be glad of some help.

Yes, there is much to organize.

When the British come, I wish to give accurate records.

Then I'll continue to come each day.

You must come always with God for your safety.

Many natives now hate internees.

Why? I don't understand.

They do not wish for return of colonialism.

Years of Nepalese influence has taught them many wise lessons.

Nepalese emperor offers them independence.

Now, allies win war, they will not have such. So, they make demonstration

much disorder.

You will find many things now change.

Perhaps, law people too will no longer bow to British masters.

But I am British.

Half British.

I see you've discharged Dominica.

No containing her.

A couple of the other very, very patients are up and about, too.

The Queen ain't, isn't it? That, and knowing they'll be going home soon.

I hope they will be soon.

Still no hint of anyone coming.

They warned us it might take a while.

I'd move the patients to a larger room if I thought it'd be worth the upheaval.

I've looked in to see Edna. Is that all?

I don't know if she'll know you, I'm afraid.

It is terrible.

Hello, Edna.

It's me.

It's Marion.

It's all

right

when she's like this.

It's when the convulsions start.

God knows what goes on in her mind. Where's she with Kelly?

Touch and go.

Depends how soon we can get out of here.

Pom.

Pom.

Pom.

Pom, must you?

What? I'm trying to concentrate on these flipping notes.

Beatrice wants them all up to date when the Allies get here.

When?

Can't be long now.

Why can't it?

The swamp that comes to evacuate.

And not all of them in the back of bloody beyond.

When he said the war was over, I imagined... Oh, I don't know.

We'd just be free.

I'll be with Tom in a matter of hours.

They'll not arrange a visit.

So frustrating.

There he is, just a few miles up the road.

Sometimes I think I'll just walk out of the gates, jump into one of their

lorries and drive up there.

Why don't you?

I'd come with you.

I didn't mean it, Maggie.

Why not?

Supposing we could?

What about the natives?

I don't believe a word of that.

They're just saying it to stop us getting together with the men.

We could do, Kate.

There and back and on up.

No one would ever know.

I often wonder what would happen about the cheque she wrote in the camp.

Well, it'll have to be on her.

She paid one woman £70.

Just for some eggs.

For me.

I cannot believe it.

It's true enough.

I had a note from our native contact this morning.

He warns us that some of the young ones are getting quite fanatical.

Rushing round with machetes and grenades.

After all we that have done for them, the ingratitude.

Still, what can you expect from ignorant peasants who cannot think for

themselves?

I'd say that's just what they are doing.

What? Beginning to think for themselves.

You are surely not defending them? I can understand them wanting to be free of

the yoke.

How have you enjoyed being under Japanese rule? My dear Joss, that is

same thing. Isn't it?

They've been living under these conditions for years.

But we are European women of high class.

Some of us.

After all, we have never before experienced any discomfort.

Let's hope we gain from the experience.

Again, my constitution will never be the same. It certainly won't if you guzzle

all that condensed milk.

It wasn't a mirage. Hello.

Hello. You from the main camp, Camp Three.

Well, he's not one of our conquering heroes, is he, Rose? Look at him. Hey,

thanks very much. We're all susceptible to flattery.

What the devil are you two doing here?

Same as you would, I say. I volunteered to pinch this Jap car, come and see how

you lot were.

We're fine.

Oh, I can see that.

We were on our way to your camp.

Oh, you'd better turn back.

Very nasty up there.

Some of the natives have gone berserk.

A Dutch couple tried to repossess the house.

They butchered them.

No.

Christ, it was true then.

Tell you all not to stay put till our troops get through. Do you know where

that's likely to be?

Nope. All I know is the island's in chaos.

Marvellous, isn't it?

Listen, there's a chap called Tom Redburn in your camp.

Do you know him?

Yes, I do. Quite well.

He used to be in our hut. Used to be?

Well, he's in the sickbay right now.

What's wrong with him?

Nothing that the sight of you won't cure.

You're the first woman I've seen since we've been here.

You're the first man we've seen.

Without bandy legs.

Have you got a bloke at all, have you?

No.

I'm free and easy.

Same here.

Well, what are we waiting for?

Nothing at all. Come on!

And the

money my

husband had deposited in the banks of Singapore, that will be safe for me. I'm

sorry, Dominica. I know no more than you.

Sure, the main banks would have made some arrangements. Yes, you are right.

would naturally protect their best customers.

How I hate to speak of money, it is so vulgar.

My poor husband always dealt with these matters, as I'm sure did yours.

Yes, yes.

Without him, I shall feel so helpless.

You must try not to worry.

Of course, if his money is safe, I shall be a rich woman.

But what compensation is that for the death of a husband?

I'm going to listen.

Flippy neck.

You look like Beatrice in one of her pole face moves.

Oh, come on, Kate.

If it had been Tom out there, you'd be nothing like Knives.

Tom's my fiancé.

That man, you didn't even know his name.

It wasn't his name I was interested in.

No more than he was in mine.

It's been four bloody years, Kate.

You haven't exactly lived like a nun.

Do you think that's the same thing?

Jacking off nips behind the hook for a few beans.

I'll tell you something.

Every time I did it, and I mean every time, I felt sick

to my stomach.

As long as she doesn't expect any sympathy.

You're late.

No need to jump on the fight. And where were you earlier?

Around. Why?

Couldn't find you. I needed help with the tooth extraction.

It was my free afternoon.

I know it's an emergency. It helps to know where you are.

Well, it wasn't an emergency.

Might have been. In future, will you kindly let me know your whereabouts?

Am I not allowed any time to myself?

You take that attitude and you'll never make a doctor.

I did warn you, Mrs. Van Meyer.

All that condensed milk.

I'm scared.

What happened?

No.

Those bruises.

How did you get them?

Wouldn't you like to know?

It wasn't Theto, was it?

There are other ways of getting bruises besides being knocked about by Satan.

Yes, I know.

But I'm still scared of him. And after what we did when we went... Didn't do,

you mean? No, but we could have.

And you knew it.

Could we?

You couldn't, could you?

Not when he came to it.

I saw your face.

I felt sort of paranoid.

I couldn't bring myself... Neither could I.

None of us could.

They won't marry a noose doctor.

How quickly we've got

used to it.

What?

This food.

Already we're taking for granted.

What not to.

If our chaps don't get a move on, we'll have nothing left to bother with.

Why don't they come, for Christ's sake? What's keeping them? Perhaps they don't

know where we are.

They must be in touch with you, Moochie, by radio.

Radio communications are very bad.

Everything's so confused.

They could find us if they wanted to.

Don't care, do they? It's a load of sodding women.

I bet they're getting the men out. And hell with your lady first.

Oh, do you still got a toe in your head? I'm beginning to wonder.

It's not that bad here now. We've got food, bags, they leave us alone.

But we want to go home.

Some. Some of you.

Much longer.

How much longer, Major?

It should not be much more days now.

We have report that camps are being more quickly evacuated.

Your Lady Mountbatten has ordered so.

Lady Mountbatten?

Here? She has visited some camps for Red Cross.

Really? She say allies must hurry to bring out prisoners.

Good for her.

In the meeting time, I will try to arrange a visit to men's camp.

as you request.

Please, the women are very impatient.

But only for those relating to men in camp.

It is good that children see their fathers and grandfathers.

Those who still have them.

Japanese children also lose parents in war. And parents lose children.

Do you remember Werner Johnson?

Nasty piece of work.

Stay with the patient.

It's all over, Edna.

We're going home.

Right, then. Where will I find this in your office?

Ah, is that him?

No, that's Satan. You want to watch him?

Stand back please.

I am Major Yamauchi.

Captain Brooks.

Lieutenant Curtis.

Headquarters have telephone to inform me of your arrival.

Good. We'll be taking over control of the camp at once.

As from now, you're under my command.

I understand.

Thank you, Major.

We'll be working together.

This is our leader, Marion Jefferson.

I can't tell you how glad we are to see you.

You must have had a pretty tough time.

We've lost about a third of our original lot since we came here.

Mostly malnutrition.

God, what a mess.

I should have seen it before they opened the stores.

I meant the whole bank shoot.

Thank you, Beatrice.

And what happened to Harry, sir, Captain?

Oh, he's reported dead, but it's by no means certain.

How bad was the bombing at home? Are there our family all right? Right as

Was Sheffield bombed?

Is it true Mr Roosevelt's dead?

Yes, Harry Truman's president.

Is Queen Mary still alive?

What are the latest songs?

Hang on, one at a time.

Is Churchill still lording it? Oh, to the contrary. We had an election. Labour

swept the board.

I don't believe it. How stupid.

They've slung out old Winnie after all he's done.

It's the social reformers we want now, not the warmongers. They didn't ask us

what we wanted, did they? What is that, man? Led us to victory.

Let's get involved.

No, it is not a nice subject for women.

I'm sure that Captain Brooks and Lieutenant Curtis wish to relax.

Tell me, who's the top American film star these days?

Bing Crosby must be number one in Hollywood.

Bing Crosby?

He was on his way out, I heard.

Then there's that crooner chap, Sinatra, everyone's making a fuss about. Oh, now

you're talking. He's the Prime Minister of Australia.

What happened to Mussolini?

Right then.

If we start by checking Major Yumuchi's list of internees. Yes. Yes, of course.

The trouble is, it seems to have shifted them all around so much.

Yes, we've been in three different camps.

You've got Dr Mason's records of the deaths?

Yes. Women and children.

It's unbelievable.

Yumuchi appears quite reasonable, too. I think, by his own ethics, he is.

It can't have been easy for you.

No.

No, it wasn't.

I suppose I'd learnt a few things from Clifford.

That was my husband.

Oh, yes, he was a colonel, I believe. Yes.

In the thick of it, then.

Yes.

You've heard nothing?

No.

Major Amuchi tried to make inquiries.

In a way, it was better not knowing.

There was always a chance.

Oh, still is. Quite a few chaps did make it.

Yes.

Let's have another photograph.

Over here this time.

Sonny, if you'd stand there.

If you're talking to her, she happens to be a girl.

All right, Sam. I'm frightfully sorry.

I wasn't really... It was the trousers.

It's all right.

It's not surprising that you thought she was a boy. After all we have been

through, I'm sure that I, too, have lost my feminine appeal.

You think so?

Smile, please.

Beep, beep, beep.

Hey, it feels as back from the men's camp.

There we go.

How did it go, Kate? How was Tom?

You see, my rundy friend.

It's with her.

Don't tell me I'm late.

I'm going to. I knew where you were this time.

What's the matter?

I thought we'd had it bad.

Until I saw them.

They lost twice as many.

What about your fiancé?

No, did he?

I had to point him out to me.

I couldn't recognise him.

Hello, my dear.

How are you this evening? All right.

Beatrice.

Beatrice. What?

Good news.

Captain Brooks has just got word through.

They're going to Singapore tomorrow.

Thank God.

Carry a figure of speech.

By the way, it's going to be funny.

Seeing yourself in a mirror more than four inches wide.

And isn't cracked.

I know what I look like.

I look like a boy.

Here.

Try this.

Put some on.

You're 17 now.

And there's a need up tonight.

That's better.

Oh, come here.

myself. What will you do, Christina, when we get back?

I'm not sure.

I may go to England.

You've got relations there, haven't you? Yes, my father's family.

My parents are dead. There's nothing to keep me in Singapore.

don't you? Of course.

I think it was in Clifford's regiment.

He'd just come out of Egypt when he saw me up on the ship.

the journey, Edna.

We're going home tomorrow, back to Singapore.

Not long now, and you'll be in a nice, clean hospital bed.

I don't know what to say.

I'll keep talking to you, just in case.

Kate?

Yes?

I'm sorry if I, um...

I realise that things have tended to fall on you since we came here. I may

been a bit short.

My eyes have been a bit of a worry.

All right, now, though, as soon as we get back, get them sorted out, get some

new glasses.

Yes.

And, well, if you should decide to train further, I'd be only too glad to give

you a reference. Anything like that, please just ask.

Do you think you will go on to be a doctor?

Oh, I don't know.

Right, now I can't think about anything except Tom.

more camps to be located.

I hear you've never been to Singapore.

No.

We lived in Shanghai.

You'll have the time of your life.

All the chaps will be falling over themselves to take you out.

I doubt it.

Wait and see.

She tried doing the hokey -cokey with a gummy leg.

You look all in.

They've caught up on me, that's all.

Only having nothing to fight.

Yeah.

Nick.

You're family, haven't you?

Two brothers and three sisters.

But they've gone their own ways now.

And your parents?

Both dead.

My mum died when I was 11 and my father... That was three years later.

But... Here.

You've got the same way.

It looks like some sort of robe.

I can't fetch Captain Brooks. No.

Wait. But they're armed. I want to get out of here in peace tomorrow.

I don't think they intend to do any harm to us.

It's his death.

At least he died an honourable death.

At the moment, I almost respected the blighter. I wish I'd had Katsaki's job,

finishing him off.

According to Captain Brooks, they're all at it.

Committing our Akiri?

Shooting themselves, mostly.

He says there are shots ringing out all over the island.

Good riddance.

Perhaps Imuchi will be next.

I don't think so.

I have a feeling he'll see it through.

What do you think will happen to him?

He'll be rounded up with the others, I suppose. Take him for questioning.

I hope they hang him.

Now, if you don't mind, I wish to get a good night's rest before the journey.

I shan't be able to sleep a wink tonight.

Nor me.

I think we should try, anyway.

As it's our last night here, do you think we should say a prayer together?

Yes, Mary.

What the hell?

Dear Lord, we thank you for bringing us safely through our years of captivity.

and for giving us the strength to survive all the hardships they entailed.

We ask you to forgive our enemies and help us to do the same.

On this night, when we're about to be released, we remember especially those

our friends who did not survive.

We pray for their souls.

In the certain knowledge

They'll live in our hearts forever.

Strolled me round the bend, mind.

Come all this way and... Oh.

See the others out and then I'll prepare the body.

At least there's this one grave we won't have to dig.

Yeah,

come on, come on, dirty!

You're not speaking the aeroplane. Of course not, get on!

Just a moment.

Surely she's not going to thank him for having us. Forgive him some things, but

never for keeping back those medical supplies.

Goodbye, Major.

Goodbye, Mrs. Jefferson.

I thank you for your work and assistance in running the camps.

I am sorry so many prisoners have died.

I wish it had not been so.

Perhaps one day our peoples may be friends.
