(PEOPLE CHATTERING

AT A DISTANCE)

Just a few minutes more, we'll be there.

Canavan?

Why are you bringing the men this way for

when you know the river's

in that direction?

That way dangerous.

Yes, I know. I just saw Larson,

what the ants left of him.

(YELLING IN MORO)

(YELLING IN MORO)

Hang him up.

Tie his hands behind his back.

Yes, sir.

Give me your bayonet.

There's plenty of dynamite left.

He was leading you into an ambush,

so it must be close by.

I'm going up to the dam, the river way.

How many men do you want?

None. My friend here,

the Datu, knows the way.

He'll make a perfect shield.

You go down to the river and wait for me.

And I'll follow it down and join you.

You're going to take me to the dam.

Come on.

Yabo.

Yes, sir.

Call in the men.

Fall in!

Come on. Keep going.

What's the matter?

Get going!

(DATU SCREAMING)

(WATER RUSHING)

The river!

The river.

The river's running!

(BABY CRYING)

The river!

(SPEAKING IN MORO)

The river!

BOY:
The river!

The river! The river is running!

(CHILDREN LAUGHING)

(ALL EX CLAIMING GLEEFULLY)

Captain,

I just left Alipang's camp

and there's not a Moro left.

You know what that means.

They're probably attacking the village.

We've gotta get back there quickly.

The river.

Yabo!

- Yabo!

- Yes, sir.

Get the men started building rafts.

Yes, sir.

(SPEAKING IN FILIPINO)

(YABO GIVING COMMANDS

IN FILIPINO)

Steve,

I'll take a couple of men

and leave on the first raft.

All right.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

Pull out the guards!

The Moros are coming!

Sylvia, sound for the alarm!

Linda!

Get the gate shut.

(BLOWING HORN)

Get those gates shut.

(SPEAKING FILIPINO)

Many guns,

many bullets in the fort.

We take them.

McCOOL:
(YELLING) Get those closed.

Stand back. Let's go!

Man the walls!

Mac!

Linda, take my temperature.

I'm feeling better already.

(SPEAKING IN MORO)

Go to village. Get prisoners.

Stick close to the Captain.

He's going to need help.

It's going to be up to you to get the men

back to the fort, Yabo.

Yes, sir.

Where they keep guns in the fighting fort?

Where?

Where they keep guns in the fighting fort?

Under church, by the big window.

That side.

You take men.

Attack the gate by the bridge.

I go to other side and get guns.

(SPEAKING MORO)

(GUN FIRING)

(GUN FIRING)

More shells out of the arsenal!

Mac!

Mac!

Hang on!

Mac.

(GUN FIRING)

Get me some more ammunition.

Go on.

Now, we attack on all sides.

You go by river road.

You go by river.

You go by lagoon.

And I go by bridge.

(CRYING)

What are you standing there for?

Get back to your places!

(SPEAKING MORO)

(SPEAKING FILIPINO)

Get back into position!

(ALL YELLING)

Get back into position there.

Yabo, keep them all together!

Tenyente! They are coming!

(YELLING IN FILIPINO)

They are coming up the river!

(ALL YELLING)

SENTRY:
Tenyente,

they are coming in the lagoon!

Where's the dynamite?

There isn't any.

(ALL YELLING)

(CLICKING)

Keep your positions!

Use your guns as clubs!

HARTLEY:
Yabo, keep the men together.

Ready!

Aim!

Fire!

(YELLING IN MORO)

Yabo! Yabo!

Alipang! The one in black. Get him!

- Steve.

- Bill.

I wish you could have seen it.

Seen it? I can feel it. It was wonderful.

How's Linda?

Dad!

Thank you.

(HORN BLOWING)

WOMEN:
Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

We, who are about to live, salute you.
