Return from the River Kwai Page #2

Synopsis: A group of war prisoners has spilt blood, sweat and tears to construct a bridge over the river Kwai in Thailand. Just when the bridge is ready, an American bomber arrives and destroys it. Camp commander Tanaka wants to set an example and orders that some of the prisoners must be executed. Just in time major Harada arrives with orders that the healthiest prisoners must be transported to Japan by train and boat. A treacherous journey since the allied forces keep a close eye on railroads and practically own the seas. The prisoners are thinking of plans to escape. Meanwhile the American bomber has been shot down and its pilot, Leyland Crawford, is being rescued by the indigenous people, the Meo. The Meo have formed a resistance group against the Japanese, led by the British colonel Grayson.

Two prisoners escaped.

Come on, Johnny.

Come on, boy.

We go by.

Come on.

Boonrod, Grayson is affected.

You were right ...

... There is no glory in dying.

I would have to kill you like a dog.

Can I bury him?

Let the body lie.

You are American.

Crawford, Leyland junior. Lieutenant.

Serial number 084926349.

The patrol that he was looking

is not returned.

He was with the British command.

I have plans with you.

You will speak.

Keep them separate.

You know it is forbidden

to escape.

F*** you, Tanaka.

Jesus, Miller.

Bring him here.

Prisoners who tried to escape,

be executed.

In hell, no.

Goodbye, Billy.

Shut up.

What are you doing?

I buried him.

Hold on, that's enough.

Let the prisoners go back

in the wagons.

Who was the British officer?

- I do not know.

How many commands in Thailand?

- I do not know.

Speak.

What happened to my patrol?

- I do not know.

Ono, bring that with me American.

Major Harada wants me a prisoner

bring with him.

It is enough.

Sorry about Miller.

The American screaming anymore.

Yes, apparently they are done with him.

The Tanaka zint not

that he should play second fiddle.

He has turned.

We must stop the withers.

What did you have in mind?

- That you have let me know.

Inside.

I'll bring you a prisoner.

- Okay.

Do you have something to learn?

- He knows nothing.

Leave me alone with the prisoner.

- But, Major ...

Come on, Lieutenant.

Yes, Major.

Please ...

My apologize for my overzealous

fellow officer.

The war, the best

or the worst in us to top.

You speak English?

I was military attach

at our Embassy in London.

Where do you live?

- Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

I can eat for you to bring

if you want.

No. If you want to interrogate me,

I know nothing.

That is not necessary. It is now our duty

for Japan to achieve.

Moves us to Japan?

- Yes, our country will you like.

It is very beautiful.

These prisoners return

to Japan ...

... might be my last job

military.

It is not the Orient Express,

but welcome aboard.

You are a tough. Most would

collapse under such torture.

I could not tell.

How is the war in the north?

We hunt them from Burma?

They are on the run,

except in a few border areas.

We yearn for news

since they took our canary.

A radio that the men had built.

We got the news from Calcutta.

The Japanese have too many men

lost.

So bring us to Japan.

Do you see something, Captain?

- No, they have all darkened.

Try to form a line.

Swallow your quinine?

- It is.

This gives you a few days ahead.

The track is in several places

destroyed ...

... and troop transports are given priority.

Let the prisoners their field bottles

fill and go to the toilet.

Impossible, then we can

not monitor.

On my responsibility.

You are no longer able

for command to execute.

How dare you?

- Look around you.

The soldiers are my faith, Major.

All right, boy?

- Yes, it would be worse.

You know Captain Hunt yet,

Lieutenant Crawford.

They have heavy losses.

- Say that again.

Come on, we could not miss.

Some of us do.

You wasted food and water.

- These are your men.

Soldiers who can not fight,

are useless.

Back to the wagons.

Row with us, Crawford.

Then we can talk.

Do you find it?

- Yes, but Tanaka would get suspicious.

Yes, since Miller is not

to harden.

What is that?

We ride in Phnom Penh.

Major Harada.

We stop here, Benford.

- My men are hungry.

It's too dangerous.

The Allies bomb every day.

We must wait until Saigon.

When did you eat?

- Together with you, Major.

Crawford, quickly.

This is my stop. One of

that baby is my name.

Your halts me

considerably worried.

The ship is still not ready.

The train leaves in two days.

The delay was inevitable.

The prisoners should immediately

on board.

They will work hard to do

in Japan.

Give them a couple days rest.

I must remind you ...

... that they are under my command

as long as they are in Saigon.

You'll need to follow my orders.

Immediately inrukken.

Who is that big guy?

Kempetai, the military police.

These are compared Tanaka

and his boys scouts.

Let the prisoners ready

to leave.

Yes, Major.

Let the men taking.

Gentlemen, we will be along

the guards marching.

Focus your eyes to the left

as it should.

Eyes left.

Enter the courage not to.

The enemy strikes on the run.

The opposition takes the day.

What did he say?

- He asked me my nationality.

You lie.

Whether you speak French.

- No, only Japanese and English.

How do you know that I lie?

Sometimes I think he is not crazy.

Eyes forward.

I forgot how they looked.

- It will come back.

That would be nice.

We only have two days

to well below.

If we are lucky, there is no place

more for us.

What Yank argues that from?

I dare not ask.

There bite something in my ear.

- A rat.

Can not, it was much bigger.

What are you doing?

Come on, come on.

Control Tower here. A prisoner

steals a device.

You is not far.

That unit is defective.

Calm down with that stuff.

They want you lice murder.

- That I have for many years.

Ozawa Captain, you have a minute?

You run the Rising Sunday

But I do not see the red cross to

that you prisoner transports.

Do not worry.

We fly escort.

You are in breach of the Geneva Convention.

You forget that Japan never

has signed.

You are nevertheless responsible

the lives of your passengers.

You are not in a position

for me to lecture.

Thank you for giving me my position

remember, Captain.

Listen, do not think you

me for the fool.

You helped the Americans escape.

During this trip you will learn

for that never to do.

What a jerk.

It seems like a furnace.

Jesus, this is not to keep.

I want the master speak.

Back.

- We do not go in the hold.

You, or I shoot.

- Come on, a**hole.

What is the problem?

We have no air in the hold

and the blood is hot.

If you do not open the shutters,

is half dead before we reach Japan.

I have the safety of the ship

and the other crew think.

I am responsible for them.

Make the hatches open.

The captain decides.

The shutters remain closed.

They are toasted.

Please.

Let's make the best of them.

- Jesus, Benford.

Okay, you sense.

Back to the sauna, guys.

Put that in your ass, Tanaka.

We have no chance, huh?

If we do not choke, hunting

Americans us to the basement.

A deity provides us end

we do not know how.

So I think there also.

We are at least in the first over.

Torpedoes are usually from the rear.

Will we save?

- We are now at sea, son.

We have the Japanese on our site.

Hello.

Go back to Japan?

- Yes.

Where are the English?

- Why?

My mother says that English

Japanese children eat.

That is not true.

My son was about as old as you

when we lived in England.

He would also be a soldier,

like me.

Why the British left

not your son?

I do not know. Maybe

they had not hungry.

Rynsuke.

That's my mother.

I'm here. I'm here.
