Philippine Coast pretty well covered how

are our passengers Lyn closer and

kissing cousins the Army isn't used to

such tight quarters each caror yeah they

aren't complaining it's just that a

couple of the higher brass isn't use to

such close proximity to the enlisted man

I'm sure they don't mind the enlisted

there's another one around to pick them

up there there is where here down scope

them here

general that our um timetable hasn't

been too exact here lately but our

estimated time of arrival is about uh 2

and 1/2 days

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Lieutenant it just seems to me that if

the Navy would have wanted a periscope

camera why they would have invented one

long ago well Franklin you didn't enjoy

the distinction of serving in the

peacetime Navy like I did in those days

the Navy had all the time in the world

but no money now they've got all the

money but no

time say that again with this baby you

can scout air

strips shipping

anything and prove that you saw it

all problem Bates oh no sir uh I mean

yes sir I I mean it can wait

sir must be something terribly important

what is it oh well uh no I'd rather not

now sir you're busy and B what's your

problem well sir somebody hid my bubble

gum what again my whole Supply and I got

to sneak and hunch who it is H can you

clear up this big mystery yes sir I hit

it why did he buy his own bubble gum

maybe you can explain that begging your

part maybe V can explain

this I tell you this sub will never sink

it's lined with bit bubble gum those

charts are on the bridge Lieutenant okay

thanks all you and Frank come with me

bit keep an eye on that camera all right

sir I'll watch it like a hwk see you get

your bubble gum back your mother knew

the trouble is CA she never send it to

you think I send her a letter Dear Mrs B

will you kindly stop sending your son

that bubble gum it's just

[Music]

wow I think i' died and gone to heaven

something wrong come here give me a back

da what for you don't like what you see

you get your money

back

wow come in

sit down

Conway I read your report you saved

three men from almost certain

drowning my compliments thank you sir

and in doing so you rised your entire

crew a top Army General and the United

States submarine I thought I had a fair

chance to save those men sir Conway

under the circumstances any Skipper in

the submarine service would have done

the same thing but when you charged with

the responsibility of carrying a for

fourar General on a top priority Mission

you've got to play it by the book this

is a war we're having not Fleet

Maneuvers off San

Diego a fair chance isn't good

enough I understand sir I hope you do

because I'm sending you on a mission

where there isn't any leeway for

mistakes does that worry

you yes sir

good these flags show the known enemy

bases and Naval installations the there

are a great many others we don't know

about look now their pattern like a bow

with the arrow going straight through

here the Coral Sea huh intelligence is

positive through the Coral Sea to New

Guinea and

Australia now we're badly outnumbered

but we're going to put a task force in

front of them

somehow oh if you're thinking that you

and the dragon fish are going to join

this task force right away you're wrong

I've got a more important job for you to

do

first more important than uh yes a

scouting mission to locate the Japanese

Fleet we've got to have more data on

their strength their positions

especially the carriers we'll be

operating in radio silence Admiral right

yes any radio transmission between the

task force and the dragon fish will

alert the

Japanese when you accumulate your data

you'll rondevoo with our ships give them

the information by

blinker you leave here at 0400 tomorrow

your recognition signal and the

Rendevous Point are in these sealed

orders open them on the e8th day proceed

accordingly now remember this if you

have

trouble any trouble your responsibility

is to those

orders the Japanese must not know our

rendevu point if you have to Scuttle

yourself and sacrifice every man on

board to prevent

it you'll do it

that's

all good

luck thank

you oh Admiral um my executive officer's

been uh working on a periscope camera he

has confidence in it and he'd like your

permission to use it well certainly if

it works it could be very valuable on

this Mission keep the line Moving Two

Colonel named

sample of his

work which one of you is Commander

Conway I am my name is Karen Phillips

I'm The Interpreter for the captain of

the Guard I'll bet you got the best job

on this whole island oh len Ross

Lieutenant US Navy ma' your enemy

unfortunately all right what do you want

you're to report to Commander Mori

please follow

me what's a nice girl like you doing in

a place like this this island Commander

Conway has been in my family for almost

200 years before the war it was a

plantation how nice of them to lend it

to the Japanese while they're here I

intend to cooperate with them but I'm

neutral in my book anybody who

cooperates with my enemies isn't

neutral but you neutralized yourself now

Commander you're out of the war and you

should be glad that's where you're wrong

lady I'm not out of it till I'm dead or

it's over whichever one comes first be

sensible Mr Conway the Japanese are not

unpleasant if you cooperate with them

you cooperate with them all you want

just don't waste your breath trying to

convert me don't you understand that

nothing can stop them how many more

ships and men do you have to lose to

convince you that you're beaten I

understand one thing the one please

Commander Mor is in

[Music]

there come

in what do you think of our tropical

Resort delightful I'll Take Miami Beach

I'm glad to see you still have your

irrepressible American sense of humor

get to the point Commander you're

wasting

time I hope not I sincerely

hope

cigarette no thanks I'll uh smoke this I

don't blame

you there really no smoke like an

American cigarette is

there we have a shortage of fine

Virginia tobacco at the

moment I hope it doesn't last too

long

Conway I don't like this war any more

than you do probably less as a matter of

fact I spent a good many years in your

country and I have a great respect for

your

people no nobody will be happier than I

when these hostilities are

over you must believe that all right

I'll believe

it I wonder how long that will

be as long as it takes us to win

it are all your countrymen that

confident of

course why is that you say you lived in

America you should know why there's only

one way this war can in Commander

I also know Japan quite well Mr

Conway we two are most ambitious and

industrious

people there are important differences

however for instance you Americans have

a lot of physical

courage but uh up here you are

vulnerable so much so that it amazes me

how you won all the other Wars maybe

we're lucky

Commander always be it's a joke

see this war you are not going to

win for many

reasons one of them is that

vulnerability I spoke of you make

mistakes for an

example why didn't you blow up your sub

with all your men we Japanese would have

done that I figure we can do you more

harm alive than dead Commander

think

so I am going to prove you

wrong you have the information we need

and I'm going to get it from

you by the way please don't be alarmed

at the sight of any uh punishment

devices around the

camp my predecessor here Kel tesi

employed these medieval

methods personally

I don't believe in

them there are other

means is that all Commander

yes we'll talk

again and think carefully about what I

have

said I'm thinking all the time Commander

P Mr

Conway I must have that

information it's entirely up to you

whether I get it now or later

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

a rather oldfashioned method of

irrigation I admit but my countrymen

have used it for several thousand years

and it still works

fine you are in charge of the work

detail commander in charge you

understand you merely supervise you do

not work I prefer not to take any

chances with your health you are

important to

us Commander my men change shifts every

hour I suggest your men do the

same uh by the

way fresh water is scarce on this island

so I'll have to insist that you don't

drink any except what is furnished at

meal

times Mr

bits Mr Ross you take the first shift

come on let's

[Music]

go you see we are not

unreasonable we wouldn't ask you to do

anything with UND do

ourselves besides the exercise will give

your man a healthy appetite for what

chopsy I never liked it oh that that's

Chinese isn't it so sorry old man

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

hours Up

Skipper I'll take it L I said I'll take

[Music]

it I'm all right Jeff

[Music]

Lord I joined the Navy because I hated

marching well you Tennessee P picker you

didn't wear shoes until you went in an

nais

I guess he got a cold out there huh he's

got no cold he's got in your m

you is there anything we can

do there's something you can do why tell

them whatever it is they want to

know what is if you care at all about

the lives of your

men the Japanese must not know our rival

point if you have to Scuttle yourself

and sacrifice every man on board to

prevent it you'll do it

you don't you

[Music]

don't been SM smoking

long yeah

kind of rough on you out there today

huh if that's the most they can give out

I can take

it can you take it for 3

days why three

days cuz that's the day of

rondevo what'll happen if we're not

there now leave

after that I'll tell them anything they

want to know might even tell them the

location of your uncle petre s Mash

[Music]

still hello white collar workers we are

about to receive a visit from that

champion of the the downtrod your friend

and

mine The

Smiler with

interpreter you all right Lyn yeah wait

there

bit tell the captain Lieutenant Ross is

too sick to work

the captain said he's just following

orders and reminds the prisoners that

they must also follow orders or be

punished but the man can't

walk he wants to know if you're ready to

answer Commander moris

questions tell him to go to

hell hey commander

commander what can I do for you con

Commander one of my men is I know Mr

Ross isn't it sorry how are you feeling

though what difference does it make how

I'm feeling I say how are you feeling

what do you care how I'm feeling I'm

talking about one of my men I'm

concerned about your health that is why

you are not allowed to walk the wheel I

want you in good shape when it comes

time to vote the vote what are you

talking about you know all about the

Democracy in America you vote on things

majority rules another few days on the

water H and your men will be ready to

vote on whether you talk or keep quiet

if you talk no more water for you if you

don't uh Ross might get sicker he might

even die so might others what is it is

it the information you think I've got it

is that it well put me on the wheel but

take Ross

off Mr Conway you don't seem to

understand putting you on the wheel

would be defeating our own purpose what

does that

mean if anything happens to you we never

get the information

[Music]

[Music]

is any better no he's worse if you care

at all about Len and the rest of your

men tell them whatever it is they want

all take it easy that water wheel tough

up and always he's going to die from it

I suppose Mor's given you a guarantee

that none of your men will be harmed

that could be worse he's kept his word

so far yes and Mari hasn't produced any

results either if his methods continue

to fail you can rely on Japanese

intelligence to replace him it's is all

rather academic isn't it sooner or later

you and your men will begin to really

suffer it's the information you have

worth all their lives that's my decision

to make lady night Andale meanwhile you

just keep your mouth out of

it please you're a SW Pig

please I'm

sorry I noticed your men don't have to

work very much they treat them pretty

good why is that did you give them all

the information I wanted to know

I didn't have the information they

thought I

had I finally convinced Colonel takish

of that after three of my men had been

put to

death as for not working us too hard I

don't know about that they were getting

ready to transfer us when new BLS showed

up something changed their minds I have

no idea what maybe it's a more of his

advanced psychology maybe he figures

that uh your group can soften us up you

seem to be doing a pretty good job of it

well it could be Conway what do you

propose to do about get out that's what

what Escape right from a [ __ ] held Island

5 m by 3 in the middle of a Japanese

ocean it's

impossible it's still called the Pacific

Ocean they don't own it

yet we give that torpedo boat we came in

the Cove

willby there aren't more than a dozen

guards

there yes and they've all got guns

[Music]

all right gentlemen tea on the after

pedo oh I'm so fed up with all those

eggs and bacon oh it's sort of plates I

can stand well if you gentleman would

like I'll take you out for breakfast

give my compliments to the chef would

you left out your old socks this time

[Music]

very funny but you wouldn't be laughing

so loud without all these guns around

you I'll guarantee that

would you like me to translate the

sergeant to last remarks for you I won't

be necessary Commander we've all got a

good idea what he meant I doubt that it

was a challenge Mr

Bat in effect he said if you wen't a

prisoner she would take you apart yeah

well you tell that s up bit shall I tell

him his challenge is not accepted

Skipper I can handle that big fat slob

let me take a crack

frankly I wouldn't advise you to try the

sergeants very good at the art of

wrestling as all Japanese soldiers

Skipper I know something about that

Japanese style wrestling I've been in

the Navy for 15 years and spent most of

my time in the Far East I flatten my

share of these characters pits can take

him Skipper I've seen him in

action well

Commander go ahead bit

on

now get on your

[Music]

now s down

[Music]

hi sit down Commander I'll

Stand I don't suppose an apology from me

would mean anything not a damn thing it

was my intention to demonstrate the

superiority of the Japanese

soldier psychological approach

again and it backfired you mean not

fight with your

idea yes osar was acting under my orders

when he challenged your man and when he

picked up a rifle and killed him whose

orders were

those you know better than to ask that

Commander

I'm truly

sorry I never would have suggested the

contest if I had had any idea that uh

it's quite obvious now that my

psychological methods are not going to

work now none of your methods are going

to work not now orever possibly

not in any case I have been given

another

assignment I'm being relieved by my

predecessor Colonel

takesh how do you know his ways of

obtaining information is different from

mine I heard

I'm speaking now as one human being to

another not as one enemy to

another you may all be killed at the

caral tagish

orders if you continue your

sence more psychology

Commander

no the

facts again

I'm very sorry about this

morning and sorry about what I know is

going to happen to

you I believe in this war

convey and I believe in Striking the

enemy and killing him if he

resists but I don't believe in

Murder they are sending a boat for me
