00:49We've arrived.
00:52It's all over.
00:54In just beginning,
00:57A new year, and a new camp.
01:06I think I will try to manage the last few steps alone.
01:20Farewell, freedom.
01:22For what it was worth, everything.
01:25It was worth everything.
01:27Get on with it!
01:33What the hell's going on?
01:57What the hell's going on?
01:58What the hell's going on?
01:59What's going on?
02:00What the hell's going on?
02:01What the hell's going on?
02:02What the hell's going on?
02:04What the hell's going on?
02:05What the hell's going on?
02:07What's happening?
02:09I've been trained for a long time.
02:12I've been trained for a long time.
02:14He's speaking Japanese.
02:16He's speaking Japanese.
02:18He's that.
02:20He's that cute guy.
02:22I think he's going to be a good one.
02:25Quick.
02:27Go inside.
02:28Go inside.
02:34Move.
02:39Go inside.
02:41Quick.
02:48Oh, see, John, listen.
02:55Hesaki, what the hell's going on?
02:59Let me out.
03:01Let me out.
03:02Do you hear me?
03:03Let me out.
03:09They've locked us in.
03:11So it would seem.
03:13They've never done that before.
03:15How about the punishment?
03:17Oh!
03:18Oh!
03:19For God's sake, a steward.
03:20He's mad enough being pushed around
03:22without him getting any hysterical.
03:24Can't you guess I can't?
03:25Rose, please.
03:26Kate that's doing it.
03:27Not me.
03:28Just be quiet.
03:29Can't you?
03:31Why, I always have to be blamed.
03:33Nobody's blaming you.
03:34Well, you could have fooled me.
03:37And Kate?
03:39Kate, my dear, there seems to be some drinking water.
03:42Why not help me to fill these shelves?
03:46The sick must be very thirsty.
03:54It's like being very alive.
03:56At least we aren't alive.
03:57Wouldn't have paid on it.
04:09It's useless.
04:10I should be helping you.
04:13Oh!
04:14You!
04:15Just...
04:16Oh!
04:17No, of all times.
04:18Oh, it's not always the way.
04:20Let's go.
04:21We can go.
04:22You sound just like Sylvie.
04:24No!
04:25Sylvie.
04:26Yes.
04:27Well, um...

04:44Take it easy.
04:45Here you go.
04:46Oh.
04:47Oh, I need it.
04:48Here you are, Beatrice.
04:49Down the hatch.

04:51Take it easy.
04:52Here you go.

14:45My name is Miss Hassan.
14:48Miss Hassan.

14:54And I assist Lieutenant Nakamura in the administration of this camp.
15:02This camp is the best camping area, three.
15:05This camp is the most efficient.
15:08This camp has the best production figures at the factory.

15:48So sorry not to have been here to meet you.

16:03Marion Jefferson.
16:04How do you do, Marion?

16:31Daisy, haven't you forgotten something?
16:36Oh dear.
16:37Sorry Werner.

16:39Something to do with her child.

16:50Ghastly?
16:51Days of hunger and much suffering.

17:31Don't blame her.
17:34One luxury we're all denied.
17:37But Fern has got the...
17:38That will be all Daisy.
17:40So what's up with your Sally?
17:44Anything I can do?
17:46Aye Doug.
17:47It's not real.
17:48None of it's real.
17:49None of it.
17:50So what's this about a factory then?
17:51It makes clothing.
17:52Don't think of clothing.
17:53How about that Miss?
17:54It's not real.
17:55It's not real.
17:56None of it's real.
17:57None of it.
17:58None of it.
17:59None of it.
18:00None of it.
18:05So what's this about a factory then?
18:06It makes clothing.
18:10so what's this about a factory then? it makes clothing.
18:14you don't think of clothing. how about that miss Hassen?
18:18yes and what's a woman doing bossing anything?
18:20well apparently it's not unknown.
18:22what's she like?
18:24oh not too bad.
18:25now before I forget don't be afraid if you hear a lorry rattling out.
18:29day or night it'll be just taking the shifts backwards and forth to the factory.
18:34it's not in the can?
18:35worse luck.
18:36I'm told the journey is an absolute nightmare.
18:39you don't know.
18:41believe me sometimes I wish I did.
18:45no it's my miserable fate to be in charge of distribution.
18:48I can tell you it's a thankless task.
18:50having less than nothing and on top of everything else
18:53trying to keep a little food in hand for those most at risk.
18:57so where's it kept all this food?
18:59under lock and key.
19:01sadly not everyone is as honest as one would wish.
19:04marion?
19:09yes I do apologize for interrupting such a joyous occasion but I'm afraid duty calls so if you'll excuse me.
19:27I do apologize for interrupting such a joyous occasion but I'm afraid duty calls
19:35so if you'll excuse me.
19:37why don't you show everyone around the camp?
19:39it would be my pleasure.
19:40don't we have to work today?
19:42no not today. are you sure?
19:44if Berna says so then that's it.
19:46so enjoy yourselves.
19:51won't I take things looking up?
19:57Sally. I've brought you some more coffee. look.
20:12please. for me.
20:14that's what I would have said to my child.
20:17please. for me.
20:22it's funny but when I lost her it didn't seem to matter.
20:26not really.
20:29but now that peter's dead.
20:31but we've told you there's so many places he could be.
20:34I feel so empty.
20:37it's all you've been through.
20:40I've been through.
20:42what about peter?
20:45could have been shot.
20:47died of starvation.
20:49very very.
20:50torture.
20:50no.
20:51I try to imagine the worst torture I can.
20:54bayonetting.
20:55strangling.
20:56tied to a steak day after dent.
20:59I know if I could just see it.
21:01really see it.
21:02that it's in my mind.
21:03it hasn't happened.
21:05but I can't.
21:14can't get over there.
21:15lift her like.
21:16what's his name?
21:16wandering off in the middle of jenkins.
21:18nakamura.
21:19there's not much point in him staying.
21:20he can't speak a word of english.
21:22he's got the mental being blind as a bat.
21:25all he ever does is strut around showing off.
21:27this person does all the real work.
21:29power behind the throne eh?
21:31sounds like something out of allison you want to learn.
21:33it is a bit.
21:35any other camps about?
21:36we're not quite sure.
21:38but we do know headquarters is quite near.
21:40as to any other camps.
21:42rumor has it.
21:43it's about five.
21:45then rumor is the one thing we're never short of.
21:48and they do say they're a band of native finders in the hills.
21:52and kept supplied by the british government.
21:56so you see we could be rescued any day.
21:59that'd be absurd.
22:01no need to take that toad dinner.
22:03i mean you never know.
22:05and some of the factory workers
22:07well they swear they've seen them from afar.
22:10going like dr triet i suppose.
22:13where is she?
22:14now it's no good you getting yourself into a state.
22:17getting?
22:17how would you like it?
22:18dumped in this bed naked.
22:20my patients scattered all over the count.
22:22dr triet's patients.
22:23we are under dr triet now.
22:25there is such a thing as professional ethics.
22:27where is the woman?
22:28she won't come twice a day.
22:31no more no less.
22:33that's when doctor does her rounds.
22:35indeed.
22:35then how does she fill in the rest of the time?
22:37house calls.
22:38the chronics stay in their quarters.
22:40much more convenient.
22:42you're dutch aren't you?
22:44that is correct.
22:45madam van mayer.
22:47yes i thought you were.
22:49we've got a lot of dutch here.
22:51so?
22:51it will be good to see some new faces.
22:55my name's betty.
22:57i'm being written up.
23:00written up?
23:01yes.
23:02doctor's writing me up for her research.
23:07malnutrition and its ancillary effects.
23:10that's what she calls it.
23:12nice to have the time.
23:13over there's the sleeping quarters.

27:14hard to say.
27:15try.
27:17well.
27:18vain as i've said and rather given to tantrums so don't cross her.
27:23but and it's a saving but if we do as we're told and get the work done
27:27she doesn't interfere.
27:31evening maria.
27:34good worker but not very communicative.
27:37i don't know.
27:39oh best bit of grub i've had in ages.
27:41not half enough mine but real tasty.
27:43bloody marvelous.
27:47worry you does it my swearing.
27:50perhaps i'm old-fashioned.

27:55oh darn she had a lovely turn of phrase.
27:58god i miss her.
27:59we all miss her.
28:01talking of missing bodge.
28:02where's that verna woman?
28:04don't see her anywhere around.
28:06why don't we move outside and make room for the others?
28:09you haven't answered my question.
28:11i think we'd be better employed trying to find out how beatrice is getting on.
28:15i think she'd have come to me first.
28:19dear it's in order of bed.
28:21there is such a thing as professional good manners.
28:24had a bad time did you getting here?
28:27i could say that.
28:28oh i thought so.
28:29all those nasty sores.
28:31we acquired those over months in camp.
28:33poor things.
28:35hasn't been a bed of roses here either.
28:37well still since we've been organized it's just about bearable.
28:43and bridge does take one's mind off most things.

29:26and that's no job.
29:30i suppose i'm allowed to go to the laboratory.
29:33of course.
29:34and i can't see my dress.
29:35it's being boiled.

29:38in case of germs from outside.
29:41and a hospital wants free there.

30:47very partial to sweets is our madam.
30:51oh you are a comfort.
30:52i don't know what's happened.

31:00how dare you speak to me?
31:03how dare you speak in such a way?
31:04i wasn't aware that i was being rude.
31:06however if that's the way you wish to take it so be it.
31:09please forgive her.
31:10she's been in hospital.
31:11she doesn't realize your importance.
31:13importance?

31:47well i hope she doesn't make a habit of absconding.
31:49especially not in that dressing gown.

35:02you are hurt no more than usual
35:05no i was perusing the possibility of reading the palm of my foot
35:19oh bliss ain't it to unstick one's toes from the mud not to mention the odd leech
35:26tell me something no offense mind but why a nun's feet so gigantic
35:39strange it is one of the few questions i've never asked myself
35:45i put it down to the habit you need something pretty hefty to kick it up when you're striding out
35:50you may be right but i don't remember the bishop mentioning it in our instruction
36:01i like you i'm always a sucker for a sense of humor
36:08especially here
36:09christina i'm sorry i thought you knew how could we i thought verna told you she's very good at
36:18that kind of thing there's no good way for that kind of thing do you know where they've taken her
36:23not really just that one of the camps needs a translator she'll be all right you'll see we
36:28never do see do we we all just happen to disappear i'm sure the rest of you are staying once i wasn't
36:34thinking of myself

38:09daisy has just told me that you've heard the news i'm so very sorry but if it's any comfort
38:15translators are like gold dust so i'm sure she'll be all right let's hope so
38:22may i sit down oh please
38:27we haven't met i'm dr mason verna johnson how do you do hello before you say anything don't
38:32worry it'll be returned it's a bit too tarty for the likes of me i'd like to get my dress back never
38:37thought i'd hear myself say that ah i'm afraid your clothes they were in such a state they just
38:44disintegrated what my dress well not just yours the boiling water must have been the last straw for all
38:51of them they just fell apart my habit that has not gone as well sadly but you're very welcome
38:57to the store clothes but that is not the point they wear our clothes jesus i knew every stitch and
39:02pinch of my sun top it was part of me it's not everything it's not every bloody thing dorothy it's not
39:09verna's fault she couldn't help it not a good that is i apologize but well they were all we had
39:16after all you've been through it's quite understandable however may i give you a piece
39:21of advice it'll probably sound petty but it's about your swearing i don't believe in me swearing
39:29well it is trivial but you see when we first came here we had to decide what stand we would take
39:36of course some of them took the obvious line that we should be well how shall i put it difficult
39:42and what did you decide well we decided that that would be sinking to the enemy's level
39:48so we opted instead for a certain standard of behavior do you realize that the gooder you all are
39:53the more they see us as a defeated race i'm sorry but i beg to differ
39:57anyway that's why we don't swear in fact we have a small fine if we do oh not that that applies to
40:06you now of course at least not until you've settled in jesus i gave up we could be back in the nursery
40:10oh please don't feel like that well i'm sure we'll all do our very best to fit in with your
40:15little ways yes i'm sure you will well now that's cleared up there's just one more thing now how do the
40:23french put it la dollarers the sad part of it meal in room one dollar clothes from store two dollars
40:35i don't understand well this is all very embarrassing but you're charging well it's the last thing we'd
40:40want i do assure you but you see we weren't given any rations for you at least not for today
40:46so the food comes from the shop shop what shop well it's hardly that really just a few bits and pieces
40:52with no money oh dear still you'll soon be able to work metro goldwyn here we come i beg your pardon
41:00mrs van mayer like you she understands the value of money beatrice that's hardly fair fair what's all
41:05this bloody fair all of us and none of this is fair nor is our group being separated nor is debbie
41:10nor is christina it is guts that's needed that is unpardonable unpardonable
41:20mrs johnson we will do our best we'll work as hard as we can to repay you you can rely on that
41:25thank you i was sure you'd understand oh and there's one last thing the mattresses don't tell me oh
41:34dear i can't bear it look as the shop is closed do enjoy the mattresses for tonight
41:39and i'm sorry to be the bearer of such miserable news well i think we'll get an early night
41:46savor the comfort while we may yes of course and thank you for being so understanding sleep well
41:56thank you oh a small present

42:15health and damnation
42:17sonny cow at your last everything liquors
42:21i rather think it's on us we've been told to mind our manners and no swearing or we'll be fine
42:33everything's got a price including our mattresses who says verna she was ever so apologetic i'm bitch
42:43i've been doing a bit of ferreting in the cookhouse
42:46ever so sweetness and light it was like our dear little hostess
42:49but then she can afford to be seeing she's got the whole thing tied up
42:55enough a thing changes hands without madam gets a rake off
42:58i don't believe it
42:59you'd better
43:00every damn little thing she's got it all boxed up
43:14i'm sorry better to let it out please don't cry
43:30we've been together for so long
43:31we've been through so much together we mustn't fall apart now
43:35there's one thing i've learned in the past year there's no mustn't about anything
43:40we'll do our best
43:43but for each of us best is different
43:48i don't understand
43:50on the march we're all going in the same direction
