00:00¶¶
00:30It's you, you need your mama, I'm coming.
00:51Mevrouw Meijer.
00:53No, not that one, you stupid girl.
00:54Below, there.
00:55Praat toch Nederlands tegen me, mens?
01:07Are they all Dutch?
01:08As well as I know.
01:10I didn't have much time with Sister Ulricha.
01:12Just long enough to hear the news of Singapore falling.
01:15Oh, there she is.
01:17Will you meet her in the hospital?
01:18Briefly.
01:20Her one scene never forgotten.
01:22Admirable woman.
01:24One of those rare people who know the importance of organisation.
01:30It's odd how foreign they seem.
01:33Yet in a few months' time...
01:34Didn't we hear that long?
01:35If we are, we'll know them better than our oldest friends.
01:40Today, new prisoners will not be required to work.
01:44Today, you will give particulars and clean quarters.
01:48Until guards have all your particulars,
01:50you will not speak to British prisoners.
01:52The first rule of this camp is obedience to your conquerors.
02:01The superior force of imperial Japanese army.
02:04If you obey, you will be well treated.
02:08If you disobey, you will be punished.
02:12Lieutenant Sato will now teach you to bow.
02:15Let's go!
02:15I am going to faint.
02:27Prisoner, don't speak!
02:31First, remove from head.
02:33All close.
02:35Put ground.
02:36Prisoner, don't speak!
02:42Go!
02:43Thank God, they're not going to punish you again.
02:49They can't.
02:50One of them.
02:57Prisoner, Ashburton, not obey.
03:00Prisoner, punished.
03:03Prisoner, obey.
03:05Bow!
03:08God save the king.
03:09God save the king.
03:10Bow!
03:11Bow!
03:11God save the king.
03:12God save the king.
03:13Come on, God save the king.
03:15All the bow!
03:15God save the king.
03:16God save the king.
03:17God save the king.
03:17Bow!
03:18Bow!
03:28Bow!
03:28Bow!
03:43God save the king.
03:45God save the king.
03:49None save the king.
03:54God save the king.
04:02Even my life.
04:03I've had some bad rejections and Erevenson.
04:04It's about a Rückul.
04:05I've had some badupa who were sealed for.
04:06I've had some bad 봄.
04:07But it's about a rancpin.
04:08it's about the road to make it.
04:09Women, children, school, school, school, school, school, school, school, school, school.
04:11what I was actually told how many of them has ever seen a white woman before
04:18well at least they can't alter our height
04:41I'll come back
04:51Sister Ulricha
04:53oh you might remember me from the hospital in Singapore
04:57anyway my name is Marion Jefferson I'm acting as British representative
05:01so I felt I should welcome you
05:03I would have thought welcome was hardly to word however it is a kind gesture
05:07Mrs. Jefferson
05:09as Beatrice
05:11Dr. Mason probably told you we arrived earlier
05:13and they were hardly settled in
05:15is there anything we can do to help
05:17again most kind
05:19please thank your British colleagues
05:21but I think we Dutch should manage ourselves
05:25oh yes yes of course
05:27well if there is anything
05:29my hat's over there
05:33so
05:35and now if you'll excuse me there is much to do
05:39yes yes of course
05:47seems to be less every time I look
05:49it's pathetic
05:50still I expect the Dutch have got quite a few supplies
05:52yes they'll need to have
05:53oh and I notice Rose Miller has got some nails says they'll need those
05:57just had my first encounter with Sister Ulricha
05:59splendid woman
06:00yes that's as may be
06:02she scares the living daylights out of me
06:04she scares me too
06:06Horace would you leave us please
06:07but if you don't mind
06:12if I may say so Marion that is not quite the attitude
06:14well it's mine
06:16you're the British representative
06:17yes because you push me into it
06:18now I've drawn up a rota for the huts
06:20alternating the latrines with the lighter stuff

09:37earth
09:38I am Sister Ulrika of the St. Teresa Mission.
10:01Prisoner Jefferson and Prisoner Ulrika, you have now had time to learn rules of the camp and how you must behave.
10:12So, from tomorrow, no native will work for you. You will correct and cook food. Do you understand?
10:20Perfectly.
10:21Commandant!
10:22Commandant?
10:24Yes, Commandant.
10:26Also, guards have reported that not all prisoners work. All prisoners must work or they will not eat.
10:34As you are fourth-class nations and women, you will be humble and obedient, accepting rules of your conquerors without question.
10:42Do you understand?
10:44Yes, Commandant.
10:46One woman is in shock and one might be pregnant.
10:49Pregnant?
10:51A bit child?
10:52Yes.
10:54All women work.
10:57But unlike Dutch treatment of Oriental, unlike British who brought back opium to Orient, Japanese conquerors are honorable masters.
11:06Tomorrow, a trader will come. Food for the prisoner's baby and all who are ill. Do you understand?
11:13Thank you, Commandant. I understand.
11:17Ike.
11:19Ike.
11:20Ike.
11:21Ike.
11:22Ike.
11:23Ike.
11:24Ike.
11:25And again.
11:26Water coming up.
11:27Yeah.
11:28About time, too.
11:29I'm sorry, darling.
11:30Such a nuisance.
11:31No, no.
11:32No trouble.
11:33Ah, what's up?
11:34Hey, Debbie, best soak that stocking off.
11:36Let's go.
11:37Oh, let's go.
11:38Oh, let's go.
11:39Oh, Ike.
11:40Oh, let's go.
11:41Ike.
11:42Oh, let's go.
11:43Oh, let's go.
11:44Oh, let's go.
11:45Oh, let's go.
11:46Oh, let's go.
11:47Best soak that stocking off.
11:49It's less painful than that.
11:51You weren't to know darling.
11:53Dr. Mason can I have some idea?
11:55No better not. You understand how it is.
11:57Rose we'll need those nails scissors for the first aid box.
12:01You can need them all you wish. You are only going to borrow them.
12:07You never know perhaps the trader might have some.
12:11Yeah for all we know it could be a sort of walk in Woolworths.
12:14Evening in Paris.
12:16California poppy.
12:18Oh Bolton.
12:19Who pulled your chain?
12:21I'd give my eye teeth for some Chanel No. 5.
12:24But I'll settle for some mascara.
12:27Not to mention peroxide.
12:30Don't be absurd.
12:32Given our circumstances I'd have thought nothing's absurd.
12:36Of course I could be wrong.
12:39I don't see why. I mean lots of native women use makeup.
12:42Quite beautifully. Don't you think so Sylvia?
12:45Lots of native women use makeup quite beautifully.
12:48If you say so.
12:50Mind I'll be output to it not to buy food.
12:53Christ.
12:55I haven't seen me natural colour for years.
12:58What I wouldn't give for my own toothbrush.
13:01What about you Sylvia?
13:03I shan't be buying.
13:05The enemy must support us and I will not help them.
13:08There's something I get.
13:11Oh I didn't mean to tease.
13:13Nature's calling my dear.
13:14Nothing more.
13:15Sorry.
13:16Well when you come back I can give you all your next week's duties.
13:20Sorry.
13:21Sorry for that.
13:22Oh.
13:23Oh.
13:24More than me.
13:25May I join you?
13:26More than me.
13:28It's maddening but I seem to be going all the time.
13:32Penny's in the night eh?
13:34And how.
13:35Oh my dear.
13:36Odds on it's a little'em.
13:39Do you really think so?
13:40Come on.
13:41Off we go.
13:42Sooner out.
13:43Sooner back.
13:45I want a five course dinner.
13:49And how.
13:51Lummy them with a taste.
13:54And I'd just like to get some proper tea.
13:57What about a large pink gin?
14:00Don't think they'll have alcohol.
14:06No I think you're probably right.
14:10Believe me.
14:11Even if you never get over it.
14:13You'll get used to it.
14:14I promise.
14:16I used to get so cross with him.
14:19For biting his nails.
14:23He used to leave his hair in the comb.
14:26Everyone gets cross sometimes.
14:29Yes.
14:32I'll never be able to say sorry.
14:37Ever.
14:40Six man went to mow.
14:42Went to mow a meadow.
14:44Six man, five man, four man, three man, two man, one man and his dog.
14:48Went to mow a meadow.
14:50Seven man went to mow.
14:52Went to mow a meadow.
14:55Hell couldn't they deliver the rations to the cook house.
14:58I didn't think I expected.
15:00Too easy to me.
15:01I wonder how long they're expecting this lot to last this.
15:05I'm just looking.
15:07Never mind.
15:08At least the trailer's coming.
15:12Now miss, none of that or you'll strain yourself.
15:15And in your condition you can't afford to.
15:17I'm quite strong really.
15:18She is right, Sally.
15:20I'm not an invalid.
15:21Of course not.
15:22But you don't want to lose it now, do you?
15:25Perhaps I should.
15:27Sally, that's a dreadful thing to say.
15:29It really is.
15:31Do shut up, Mrs Bowen.
15:33Look, why don't you fetch the preambulator?
15:36We could use it for transport.
15:38But it's not ours.
15:39It's for carrying their food as well.
15:42Don't be so busy.
15:44Can you see it all right, Mrs Bowen?
15:46Dreadfully sorry.
15:47Forgot about the specs.
15:48I can see it quite well enough for that, thank you.
15:58Are you scared?
15:59Well, of course I want the baby.
16:01Desperately.
16:02But...
16:03Mind, if it's any comfort,
16:06it's amazing the strength one's given when one must.
16:09Take my first.
16:10Born in India, she was.
16:11Enough country at that.
16:13No doctor, nothing.
16:14Just a bunch of jabbering native women
16:16and a fat lot of good day were.
16:19Indignation got me through that.
16:21I can imagine.
16:29If she breaks it, she pees.
16:50Penny.
16:51What?
16:52For your thoughts.
16:54It's Violet.
16:55She's not well.
16:58She needs solids.
16:59Whatever the doctor says.
17:00Still.
17:01Now the Trader's coming.
17:03I hadn't any money.
17:05Ah, I see.
17:10Here.
17:18It's a Trader.
17:19It's a Trader.
17:20It's a Trader.
17:25What's the trouble.
17:26Alty?
17:31Hello.
17:32Hi!
17:33Hi!
17:35Hi, hi.
17:36Hi!
17:37Hi.
17:41Hi.
17:42Prisoners, bite!
18:09Oh, come on.
18:11Are you taking forever? There's a lot of us here.
18:17Eggs! How much for eggs?
18:19Then how was one meant to know?
18:22Aspirin.
18:24Oh, very exciting. I'm sorry. What it is.
18:27How about you?
18:28Well, for myself I was looking for a simple packet of cigarettes and look what I'd get.
18:34It's disgraceful.
18:36We should all have pooled our money for essentials not fritted it away on that kind of ridiculous nonsense.
18:40Yes, I suppose so, but with so little.
18:43As opposed to the Dutch.
18:44Oh, lucky them.
18:46Oh, my God, look.
18:49Yes, I'm fat.
18:51Yes.
18:52A slut!
18:53Hey, watch what you're doing.
18:54Eggs.
18:55How much for eggs?
18:56All gone. They've been late. All gone.
18:59How much?
19:00How much?
19:01Well, it's very small.
19:02Very small.
19:03Hey, you might have asked.
19:05Look, my darling.
19:07Look.
19:08Solids.
19:09You can have this for your tea.
19:10She's certainly come to life.
19:11I think she'd asked.
19:12Then mothers of young babies develop a very strong sense of survival.
19:24She'll need it.
19:26Oh, yes.
19:31Mrs. Jefferson.
19:32Yes, sir.
19:33It is time for us.
19:34We should have a discussion.
19:35Yes.
19:36Yes, of course.
19:38Why don't you sit down?
19:40Thank you, but no.
19:45Please be seated.
19:48I've come straight to the point as you English are so fond to say.
19:52Obviously we must now work together rather than both our groups try to do the same job in that inefficient way.
20:00Especially here.
20:01I was thinking the same thing myself.
20:03Good.
20:04Then I suggest we meet during our free time after the evening meal.
20:08That will be convenient.
20:09Will it not?
20:10No.
20:11Not quite.
20:12Shall we say one hour later in my hut?
20:16If you so will.
20:17Yes.
20:18Will it not?
20:19Yes.
20:20I do.
20:21Go.
20:22Go.
20:23Go.
20:24Go.
20:25Go.
20:26Go.
20:29Don't go.
20:30I have a friend.
20:31No.
20:32No, don't go.
20:34Please.
20:35My daughter is so much.
20:36Oh, dear.

21:12came near her when I launched the boil not a sound do you mind if we join any news nothing not a sign
21:22why outside the compound that's what I can't understand it's so that we don't see what they
21:27actually oh there's probably a very simple explanation that's what frightens me she's only a baby
21:42on my school report once they said too much imagination for her own good they were right
21:58what about sister Ulricha praying what a good that'll do I don't know my dear father was a
22:05man of God he was almost always wrong they've been I know they've been raped that's a ridiculous

22:20complexion it's almost night we're all the same in the dark don't talk nonsense I remember my husband
22:29Herbert saying that the truth Sylvia forgive me unforgivable but then Herbert was always saying what a fool

30:43Oh, damn, you scared.
30:45No, Doc.
30:48Don't smoke!
30:50Punish!
31:12How dare they make us work?
31:14How dare they treat us like slaves when we are interned under the Geneva Convention?
31:20Well, speak.
31:24It's very hard.
31:26Hard? It is an insult.
31:28An insult to the name of Van Mayer.
31:32And what is yours?
31:34Dorothy. Dotty.
31:36Mrs Bennet.
31:38I shall call you Dorothy.
31:40Grenade Sink.
31:42A lifetime of being waited on directing matters.
31:45Now I am forced to be with my bare hands.
31:48I've never lifted a finger.
31:50Not once.
31:54And yourself?
31:56Cleaning.
31:58Me?
32:00Oh, yes.
32:01An edgeware.
32:02What is there?
32:04It's a place.
32:06Barbarians.
32:08That is what they are.
32:10Why do you suck?
32:12A splinter.
32:13Well, why didn't you say so?
32:15We will go to my hut.
32:17I'll keep you so low with it.
32:27I have some...
32:29How do you say?
32:30In one of my cases.
32:40All these things?
32:42Yes.
32:43They're nothing.
32:44Nothing.
32:45Oh, when I think of my own treasures.
32:48And now...
32:50Natives and even my own houseboys.
32:52Picking them over with their filthy fingers.
32:55Ah.
33:02My poor little darling.
33:04Would we are forced to suffer?
33:07If my husband only knew.
33:09Where is he?
33:12Your husband.
33:13Who knows?
33:14Who knows?
33:15My little Seymour.
33:17Such a comfort she is to her mama.
33:20And what happened here?
33:22My little son of a bird.
33:27Ah.
33:28My poor, poor head.
33:31I am most delicate.
33:33Just infirmities.
33:34Endless pain.
33:36But then breeding for that one must suffer.
33:39I shall not survive.
33:41You mustn't say that.
33:42I will say anything.
33:44Anything.
33:45Oh, I didn't mean...
33:47In English it means something quite different.
33:49You imply that I do not speak English?
33:51No, no.
33:52Of course not.
33:54Please forgive me.
33:55I wasn't thinking.
33:56I will.
33:57Mrs. Van Mayer.
33:58Madame.
33:59Madame.
34:00Madame Van Mayer.
34:01You must understand that the Van Mayers are a very old and respected family.
34:10Ministers.
34:11Generals.
34:12People of Importance.
34:14I can see that.
34:15It stands out a mile.
34:18Madame Van Mayer.
34:21If I did all your work for you, do you think you could...
34:25Um.
34:27Go on.
34:28Pay me.
34:30See, I have a baby, you see.
34:32And I lost everything.
34:33And if I don't get Violet, that's the name of my baby.
34:35How much?
34:37Um.
34:38Three dollars a day.
34:39Three dollars.
34:40That is three gilders.
34:43No, I think not.
34:44I think perhaps two.
34:46Two gilders.
34:47After all, you are young and strong.
34:49Selectable.
34:51Sister Ulricha.
34:53I will not be spoken to in such a way, you who set yourself up so.
34:58If my husband...
34:59Two gilders would be lovely.
35:00Lovely.
35:01Only could you pay me a day in advance.
35:02I'll start first thing in the morning.
35:03I promise.
35:04I'll do anything.
35:05I don't think that...
35:06I give my word.
35:07I swear on my baby's life.
35:09I want a life.
35:10Here.
35:12Bless you.
35:15Oh, bless you.
35:16What is it?
35:17Nothing.
35:18I have to go out.
35:19What?
35:20Out.
35:21I'm going for milk.
35:22What milk?
35:23Where?
35:24Violet.
35:25It's all arranged.
35:26I'm picking it up in your latrines.
35:27What?
35:28Under the wire.
35:29Outside.
35:30Are you mad?
35:31I don't care.
35:32You should have asked Marian, that's dangerous.
35:33Please.
35:34I need someone to watch over Violet.
35:35You're the only one I trust.
35:37Bloody hell, Doris.
35:38Bloody hell, Dorothy.
35:39Take care of her.
35:40Take care of her.
35:41I don't care.
35:42I don't care.
35:43I don't care.
35:44I don't care.
35:45I don't care.
35:46I don't care.
35:47I don't care.
35:48I don't care.
35:49You should have asked Marian, that's dangerous.
35:50Please.
35:51I need someone to watch over Violet.
35:52You're the only one I trust.
35:53Bloody hell, Dorothy.
35:54Take care of her.
35:56I don't care.
35:57I don't care.
35:58I don't care.
35:59I don't care.
36:00I don't care.
36:01I don't care.
36:02You're the only one I trust.
36:03Bloody hell, Dorothy.
36:04Take care of her.
36:26I don't care.
36:27I don't care.
36:28I don't care.
36:29I don't care.
36:30I'm coming.
36:56I don't care.
36:57Oh…
37:26Oh, my God.
37:56Oh, my God.
38:12Mrs. Bennet, how long has it been this colour?
38:16About two days.
38:18You've been boiling the nappies as instructed. What's wrong?
38:21It's a slight touch of diarrhea, that's all.
38:24Try not to let her touch her mouth.
38:26Be as clean as possible when you handle her.
38:28I told you she was ill. I told you.
38:30She wasn't ill then.
38:32It was coming on.
38:34Try not to lie.
38:36Somebody has to.
38:38Keene, I thought I told her to scald out those buckets.
38:41I'm just going to. I want to get this up first.
38:43It was time for that later.
38:45It's like a violet squitters, though, isn't.
38:47At least she can wash out a hammock.
38:49And I do wish you'd call me Nellie.
38:53Twenty-three.
38:59Twenty-four.
39:01Twenty-four.
39:03Twenty-four.
39:04Twenty-four.
39:05Twenty-four.
39:06Norris, will you leave us, please?
39:07Look, I'm busy making this too.
39:09Yes, but you can do it outside.
39:10If you say so.
39:12I don't know what's got into everybody.
39:17All this whispering in corners between Dorothy and Blanche.
39:20Not to mention Nurse Keene.
39:21At least when we arrived, I had some authority over my nurses.
39:24Oh, that?
39:25Yes, that.
39:26And though I know it goes against your nature,
39:27it's up to you, Marion, to enforce some discipline.
39:29Insist if necessary.
39:30I prefer people to see reason.
39:32Reason?
39:33What on earth do these women know about reason?
39:35Lumped together with girls from God knows what background?
39:38You take Blanche, for example.
39:39If she's not a little tarp...
39:40Beatrice!
39:41Stop it!
39:42No!
39:43No, it's you who must stop it.
39:44And if you don't come to grips soon, we'll all be a...
39:46Be a shambles!
39:47Yes, I know!
39:48But there's just so much that people can take,
39:50especially when we're still learning to cope.
39:51So if you don't mind, we leave the insisting to the just.
39:54And we'll just...
39:57Damn!
39:58Damn!
39:59Even half a chance she can be very insensitive sometimes.
40:03Even more than me.
40:05I mean...
40:07At least in the services there's a sense of tradition to fall back on.
40:10This would be the core and all that.
40:12Don't mock, my dear.
40:14Sometimes that's all that holds any group together.
40:17However lofty their notions.
40:19Whereas here...
40:21So you're probably right.
40:23They do need to work things out for themselves.
40:27She's right.
40:29There is something going on.
40:32Dorothy!
40:34God knows why she's working herself into the grave!
40:36Dorothy, my dear Marion, is beyond reason.
40:39After you have cleaned the bucket, as you were told,
40:42you will instruct Nurse Norris to meet me here in this hut promptly after dinner.
40:45Is that clear?
40:47Keene, will you look at me while I'm talking to you?
40:50Dorothy, what have you done to your back?
40:51Nothing!
40:52What do you mean nothing?
40:53It looks septic.
40:54Please!
40:55Stop struggling, girl!
40:56No, just leave me alone!
40:57I want to be left!
40:59Keene, you get my box and some water, quickly.
41:02Can I do anything?
41:03Yes, get Marion.
41:04I don't need her!
41:05I don't need anyone!
41:06Can you hear me?
41:07Oh, very well.
41:08Oh, shut up, can't you?
41:09Always bossing, throwing your weight about.
41:11It is what you think, is it?
41:12Well, I'm sorry, but this must be reported in immediately.
41:14Hard work is one thing.
41:15This is torture.
41:16It's not torture!
41:17It's not!
41:18It's only the barbed wire!
41:19Shut up!
41:20We don't want hysterics now, do we?
41:22What is it?
41:23Look, just take a look.
41:26Oh, my God!
41:27It's that tree felling, isn't it?
41:28You being victimised, made to go on extra duties.
41:30Come on, you can tell us.
41:32You can be very stupid sometimes.
41:34Ah!
41:35I like work!
41:37I'm very good at it and I do it for money.
41:39And I buy milk.
41:40But there is no milk.
41:41Dorothy's not here.
41:42It's no use.
41:44She smuggles it in.
41:46What?
41:47You heard.
41:51At night,
41:53I meet Jo's wife.
41:56She makes this bird call and I go.
41:59It costs two gilders.
42:02Ah!
42:04Short of tying her down, what can I do?
42:06Exert your authority.
42:08Violet is her authority and Violet has dysentery.
42:12Poor child.
42:13Her milk's dried up.
42:15Can you wonder?
42:17Perhaps have I told the commandant?
42:19Oh, no, that's the last thing.
42:21Besides, she says she'll kill herself if anyone stops her.
42:27Suicide?
42:28That is a terrible sin.
42:30Not compared with what's being done to us.
42:32Right and wrong are not a question of degree, Mrs. Jefferson.
42:36You have explained that she is risking punishment not only for herself but for all of us?
42:42Oh, yes.
42:44There are other women involved too, I feel.
42:46And I see it as my duty to protect rather than discipline them.
42:49It is your duty as a leader to keep the rules and to demand obedience.
42:54Obedience?
42:55It is a part of civilization without which there would be chaos.
43:00I am not without sympathy for her predicament.
43:08There is also the sin of pride.
43:11The people in my hut, they do not always call me.
43:30Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
43:36You've got my fax.
43:42Blanche, quickly,
43:43ah!
43:44Oh, come on.
43:45Ah!
43:46Ah!
43:47You're off!
43:55You and your bleeding cuckoo.

44:48crawling with bugs so what do they expect us to eat thin air that's about the
44:54size of it it's all her fault she hadn't started that smuggling we wouldn't be
45:01starving now she's the one to blame English bitch oh yeah you do that how does she
