00:00I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:30I'm not sure it isn't worse than the god I'm trying with the old man.
00:55Sally, Sally, time to get up.
00:58here are your clothes. where am I? that's the new camp. we arrived here yesterday. you
01:05remember? these aren't mine. yes they are. chump they took away all our old clothes
01:12and gave us clean ones from their stores. plus a bill. you remember that verna female?
01:18vermin more like. oh yes. he took christina away too. yes.
01:27yeah quick or we'll be late. sorry thank you. when I first heard that racket I thought I was
01:33back in Monica's school. perhaps that froggy doctor will be around soon with the pink gargle.
01:40what's her name? Trier. Natalie Trier. where's sister Ulrica? I'm taking shorts again I wouldn't wonder. here do you want a hand? would you mind? I used to be able to manage with my own togs but with these confounded things.
01:53how dare they take our clothes away. I would sooner have my old rags back in whatever state you're in at least they were mine.
01:59excuse me. well if it isn't the vermin sidekick. rules. good morning Daisy.
02:05morning mrs jefferson. morning doctor. well for god's sake girl get on with it. what is it dear?
02:11verna said to tell you first bell for dressing second for tanko after that breakfast and she'll see you in the cookhouse.
02:16thank you. oh and she'd be obliged if you'd return the mattresses to her after breakfast.
02:22would she now?
02:23unless you've changed your mind. want to buy them. that's all. thank you.
02:29and how does she expect us to pay for them? wants us to borrow from her. that's what at a nice fat interest rate.
02:36we've made it clear we're not doing that.
02:38I'd rather clean out latrines at the end of the war. probably have to.
02:43there's no sign of a vermin. she's probably allowed to sleep in. there goes the frog.
02:58hey don't forget nobody's to let on i'm a nurse. i'm not working for that steel-eyed robot.
03:03beatrice is bound to tell her. oh i don't know. i get the impression. she's not wild about her either.
03:11here they come. knock him over in his mouthpiece.
03:16like a handsome couple don't they?
03:32on behalf of lieutenant nakamura and myself i wish you all good morning.
03:37we trust you all slept well.
03:40for hard work requires a rested body and there is much hard work to be done.
03:44our camp is the most efficient in the area. the most efficient, the most clean, the most harmonious.
03:50so you told us yesterday.
03:52the commandant hopes this will continue to be so. and i am sure it will. provided the new internees follow the example of those already here.
04:02they will be hard working. they will be obedient. they will be cheerful.
04:09i wonder how many camps there are in the district.
04:14and if any of them are men's we'll have to go around. discreetly though.
04:18i have a feeling people won't like us asking too many questions here.
04:26hello again. bobby that does look nice.
04:29i tried to supplement his diet. it is expensive though.
04:32and that's what the hoi ploi gets, is it?
04:34yes.
04:35i'll take it you'll all be on plain rations too.
04:37no bloody choice have we?
04:39run along bobby. bag is a table.
04:41what should dorothy? we'll have to put a dollar in the swear box and that's another sodding luxury we can't afford.
04:46do they honestly fine you for swearing?
04:51it's not such a bad idea really.
04:53i mean we wouldn't allow that sort of language if we were at home would we?
04:57seems to be yet another containment of our freedom.
04:59it's a question of standards.
05:02you sound just like sylvia ashburton.
05:07oh someone at our old camp.
05:10i know it must all seem a bit like school.
05:13shades of miss pollock can have purge on impurity.
05:17oh gosh i'd forgotten her.
05:19but we have to think of the children.
05:21i'm sure you'd feel the same if ben were here.
05:23i suppose so.
05:25the swear box proceeds do go to a good cause.
05:27what's that?
05:28lining verna's pocket.
05:33birthday gifts for the children.
05:36you should do well with our lot around.
05:39marion.
05:41about verna.
05:43we know about her.
05:44what i don't understand is why you all let her do it.
05:47mummy.
05:48i'm just coming darling.
05:49come and sit with us when you've got your food.
05:57come on sally.
05:59must eat.
06:01it says discipline committee report.
06:07you can read that.
06:08see a letter will scroll underneath.
06:10at the meeting of the discipline committee held on december 30th.
06:15mrs harvard and mrs lang were found guilty of stealing from the cookhouse stores.
06:21as a punishment they will forego all leisure activities for the period of a month.
06:27and do extra kitchen duties instead.
06:31i used to think discipline was the most essential thing in life.
06:35so did i.
06:36i should like to see you in the hospital after breakfast.
06:48there are matters we need to discuss.
06:50yes of course.
06:52like last night.
06:53i owe you an apology.
06:55it was not a very good example for the patients.
06:57no.
06:58well i felt i'd be better off with my friends.
07:00if we all did as we wished there would be no discipline.
07:03i've said i'm sorry.
07:04we will forget the incident.
07:05good.
07:06i will see you later.
07:07and i would be obliged if you would return my dressing gown then.
07:11i'm afraid i can't.
07:15i haven't got anything else to wear.
07:17you certainly can't keep that.
07:20i will find you something suitable that it will have to be paid for.
07:23naturally.
07:24oh by the way.
07:25the dutch patient with berri-berri, mrs van Mayer is it?
07:28tells me that one of your group had a stillborn baby.
07:31yes.
07:33yes sally markham.
07:35i should like to include her in our research project.
07:37we haven't had any stillborn babies here.
07:39she's in a pretty bad way at the moment.
07:41she thinks her husband is dead.
07:43his name wasn't on a list we were given.
07:45interesting.
07:46i must have wanted to see her.
07:51i was just asking lillian about money.
07:53what on earth are we gonna pay all verna's bills?
07:55i don't buy anything new.
07:57about all i've got left in the world now is a comb and a toothbrush.
08:00there are always a few people willing to pay others to do their heavy chores.
08:06the rich bitches.
08:07like the dutch in the last pam.
08:09only to begin with at the end we were all in the same boat.
08:12wouldn't surprise me if that van Mayer woman hadn't still got a few baubles stuffed up her knickers.
08:16this knickers counts as a swear word.
08:20i suppose um...
08:22you couldn't lend us anything.
08:24i'm sorry.
08:25i would if i had it.
08:27bob is extra food i'd need every penny.
08:29of course.
08:30here's verna now.
08:32what are we supposed to do?
08:34genuflect.
08:35good morning everyone.
08:36let's see.
08:37it's uh...
08:38Marianne, beatrice, joss and rose isn't it?
08:4010 out of 10.
08:41good morning.
08:42how are you all today?
08:43recovered from that awful journey?
08:44yes well.
08:45it's not from the stock of those bills that you gave us.
08:47oh yes i want to talk to you by that.
08:49actually i would have been over earlier only there's a certain little duty i have to fulfill first thing.
08:55miss harson expects me to get her breakfast.
08:58she found out that i used to run a hotel so she expects the works.
09:02oh i know what you're thinking and i don't enjoy it.
09:05but actually it's very useful to have an inn.
09:08i often glean tidbits of information.
09:11don't i Lillian?
09:12yes.
09:13did you know that the allies have started to make a comeback in Burma?
09:16well that is good news.
09:18how far have they reached?
09:19i didn't manage to get any details but i'm keeping my ear to the ground.
09:23let's hope somebody trends on it.
09:25why don't you get down?
09:27i'm sure everyone will excuse you.
09:29excuse me please.
09:34to return to the sordid question of money.
09:37i'm afraid you'll have to work off your bills for the clothes and yesterday's food.
09:43but i've had a word with my colleagues on the finance committee.
09:47and i'm happy to tell you that we're going to let you have the mattresses for nothing.
09:50or something.
09:52well there was a little comfort money left in the till.
09:54you mean money sent for the red cross?
09:56yes that's right.
09:57and we thought that under the circumstances it should go to help you all.
10:03well i'll see you all later.
10:05i can give you your duty rotors then.
10:07dr. triumelle.
10:10i suppose we should have all been duly grateful.
10:14i don't see why.
10:15hear hear.
10:16well damn it the money sent by the british government is ours by right.
10:20no bloody committee's gonna take my whack off me.
10:22especially one run by that creature.
10:24now perhaps in future we could ask for our share to be paid direct.
10:27good idea.
10:28i made it their leader which was certainly not ours.
10:37oh sorry.
10:38oh it is all right i have finished.
10:40oh i had to get away.
10:42some frightful missionary woman tried to press gang us all into joining the choir.
10:46indeed.
10:47she didn't have much luck only jos volunteered and that's because she's too deaf.
10:53you wouldn't have laughed at that a few weeks back.
10:56i think i should not now it's because i'm so happy.
10:59happy?
11:00yes.
11:01in spite of everything.
11:03oh rose i've just heard the most wonderful news you can never imagine.
11:07what is it?
11:08a catholic priest is to visit us here.
11:12terrific.
11:13he comes over from the men's camp once a month to take confession.
11:17men's camp?
11:18yes i saw it on the notice board.
11:20at last i shall have someone to turn to for spiritual guidance.
11:24how do you know that he's going to come from the men's camp?
11:27someone told me.
11:28did she say how near it was?
11:30i didn't seem to ask.
11:31for crying out loud.
11:33you may need spiritual guidance.
11:37is there physical presence the rest of us need?
11:40i am sorry.
11:42it was selfish of me.
11:46if i knew bernard was somewhere near.
11:49i might just be able to survive this place.
11:54you.
11:55go miss hassan.
11:56quick.
11:57she won't stay.
11:58both of us.
11:59no not you.
12:00she had the prisoner jason.
12:01quick.
12:03hurry.
12:10you.
12:11ah.
12:12dr nason.
12:13that is better.
12:14thank you for the, er.
12:15loan of this.
12:16take a seat would you.
12:17i want to be a moment.
12:18see in sally.
12:19yes.
12:20i'm just completing my notes.
12:21a classic case of depression.
12:25yes.
12:26yes.
12:27yes.
12:39yes.
12:40seen Sally? yes I'm just completing my notes. a classic case of depression. yes
12:50yes natural enough I suppose. there's the baby and her husband. is there anything we
12:57can do for her? the absence of drugs or specially psychiatric help very little.
13:03poor Sally. we will just have to keep a close watch on her.
13:09it'll be interesting to see how she develops.
13:13I can't she appear to get over the baby staff at the time. yes but then she had
13:18Nellie. had a friend. one of my nurses. it is a pity you have no nurses with you now.
13:24those trainees need watching all the time.
13:29now as to our arrangements. you clearly in no state to do more than a few hours a day in the hospital.
13:40well I'm quite able to do my share. I think not. it is obvious you're still suffering from fatigue.
13:47you have already experienced one near collapse from nervous exhaustion.
13:51what? what? you did? did you not? at your old camp? who told?
13:59mrs van meyer I suppose. I did not need to be told. you have all the symptoms.
14:04patchiness, anxiety, irrational behavior. your physical condition speaks for itself too.
14:11the deterioration of your eyesight is not the only effect malnutrition has had on you.
14:20I'm sorry to be brutal. it is because I need your help I must be so.
14:25I'd rather have a colleague capable of working efficiently for a few hours a day
14:30than one who is little more than a corpse or something.
14:34I will see that you have put on a special diet as from now.
14:38but the others they're in just as bad a condition as I am.
14:41the others are not doctors. you may find something in there.
14:47I save them when they die. also their teeth.
14:51now go on. try some.
15:04so you are mrs. jefferson and sister ulrica.
15:20yes miss hasa.
15:23lieutenant nakamura has asked me to see you regarding the question of leadership.
15:27I am told that you are the leaders of the new internees.
15:31yes I represent the british and sister ulrica the dutch.
15:36in this camp mrs. jefferson there is only one leader.
15:40verna johnson.
15:41yes we realize that.
15:43you will therefore tell your fellow internees that from now on they will look to her as such and her only.
15:48but surely if we need.
15:50excuse me I must protest.
15:51be quiet.
15:52you question the orders of the commandant.
15:56I think all sister ulrica meant was that our people may also need a spokesman.
16:03there are bound to be certain problems.
16:05all problems can be dealt with by verna johnson.
16:08but some of my people do not speak english.
16:10it is necessary for me to interpret for them as verna johnson does not speak.
16:14sister ulrica.
16:15sister ulrica.
16:16you are spoiling my breakfast.
16:18i'm sorry miss harson.
16:20but I.
16:21am I to be troubled by ignorant foreigners coming in here at every moment.
16:25if they cannot speak english they must learn to.
16:28as I have.
16:29i think you will agree my accent is possible.
16:33oh.
16:34it's excellent.
16:36i have an exceptional gift for languages.
16:39like your friend christina campbell.
16:42i will certainly ask my women to do as you wish miss harson.
16:47but.
16:48as the commandant wishes.
16:49yes.
16:50in the meantime if i might continue to.
16:52this camp is the best camp in the area.
16:54and why is that?
16:55because we have a system that works.
16:57there is one leader only.
16:59the one appointed by myself.
17:01on behalf of lieutenant nakamura.
17:04you will obey her or be punished.
17:06you understand?
17:08yes.
17:09yes miss harson.
17:10good.
17:12you are dismissed.
17:14before we go there's something i'd like to ask.
17:16you mentioned christina campbell.
17:18what about her?
17:19we just wondered.
17:21if she was all right.
17:24of course she is all right.
17:27she is working for the japanese.
17:29go now.
17:30you waste my time.
17:31i have much work to do.
17:35work.
17:36she wouldn't know the meaning of the word.
17:40i bet she does nothing but sit there all day.
17:42shoveling down bold.
17:46no representation.
17:48outrageous.
17:49scandalous.
17:50to say nothing of undemocratic.
17:59it's no use.
18:00i can't do a thing with it.
18:14don't get out of here soon.
18:16he'll have nothing to wear.
18:18wish i could help.
18:20he used to have some clothes at Ben's.
18:23i was taking the back for him.
18:25they were all that survived the shipwreck.
18:27they're all gone now.
18:32did you know that some of us applied for repatriation before christmas?
18:35someone did mention it but i thought it was just the neutral.
18:38no.
18:39they let a few others put their name down too.
18:41the elderly.
18:42and those of us with children.
18:44verna thinks that bobby and i may stand a chance.
18:50dr trier signed a chit about his eyesight and his anemia.
18:53that should help.
18:55the fact that john is already back home.
18:58i wouldn't bank on it william.
19:00we should have started at prep school by now.
19:04it's down to start in the autumn.
19:05but john is old place.
19:06Ben should be at wellington now.
19:09in long trousers.
19:17watcha.
19:18joss and me are setting up my shoe mending business.
19:21i provide the stilt.
19:22she provides the nails.
19:23they're the ones she nicked from that house on the way.
19:26she certainly doesn't lack initiative are joss.
19:30funny old trout.
19:32well that'll be her now.
19:34wrecking the choir practice.
19:36kate.
19:37i found out some more about the men.
19:41i got talking to a girl who goes on that work party.
19:44she says that the men's camp is somewhere near the factory.
19:47we ought to get in on that caper.
19:50maybe we could get a message through.
19:52hmm.
19:53i'll have to wait our turn.
19:54apparently there's a monthly rota.

24:58Some of the women bury things behind the latrines.
25:00I am grateful.
25:01Don't be.
25:02I am on your side, you know.
25:07Won't you sit down?
25:08No, no.
25:09I ought to get back to my duties.
25:10Yes, I have to go to the store on too.
25:11I have to watch the rations like a hawk.
25:12But I'm sure we can spare five minutes.
25:13There's something I want to talk to you about.
25:17I believe Miss Hasson had a word with you,
25:19I believe Miss Hasson had a word with you.
25:22I am on your side in future.
25:25Some of the women bury things behind the latrines.
25:27I am grateful.
25:28Don't be.
25:29I am on your side, you know.
25:31Won't you sit down?
25:32No, no.
25:33I ought to get back to my duties.
25:34Yes I have to go to the store on too.
25:36I have to watch the rations like a hawk.
25:37But I'm sure we can spare five minutes.
25:39Miss Hasson had a word with you and our Dutch friend yesterday
25:41about your position here in the camp.
25:43You mean lack of position?
25:44Yes.
25:45I am sorry.
25:46I assure you that was none of my doing.
25:48In fact I'd love to have someone to share the burden with.
25:52Well I expect you found the responsibilities pretty arduous too.
25:56Yes at times.
25:57However madam seems to like the way I run things here.
26:01Well one simply can't argue with these people.
26:05No.
26:06But I should hate to think that it would cause any hard feelings between you folk and the rest of us.
26:10So I wondered if we couldn't bridge the gap.
26:13How do you mean?
26:15Well there's a vacancy on the discipline committee.
26:18She went down with scrub typhus.
26:20I wondered if you'd like to fill it.
26:22Lillian's on the committee.
26:23She may have mentioned it.
26:24No.
26:25Well I expect you had so much else to talk about.
26:28I am glad Lillian's found a friend at last.
26:30She worries so much about that boy of hers.
26:32Well how do you feel about it?
26:34Well I'd be prepared to stand for an action.
26:37No we don't worry about anything like that.
26:39We'll just co-opt you.
26:40Oh but surely I ought to...
26:41The important thing is to avoid factions.
26:44Don't you think?
26:45Something for you.
26:46It's about this evening.
26:47Yes.
26:48Somebody's just having a go with the Ouija board.
26:49What?
26:50You know.
26:51A seance.
26:52And they don't say nothing.
26:53Some people don't hold with it.
26:54I think you might like to come along.
26:55You never know.
26:56You might make contact.
26:57Contact?
26:58Mrs. Fox's husband gets in touch quite often.
27:00You mean he talks to her?
27:01Well you know.
27:02Communicates from the other side.
27:03You know.
27:04if you don't hold with it.
27:06But you might like to come along.
27:08You never know. You might make contact.
27:11Contact?
27:13Mrs. Marce's husband gets in touch quite often.
27:18You mean he talks to her?
27:20Well, you know, he communicates from the other side.
27:24Why don't you come along?
27:29Can I have your mug?
27:31Your mug if you've finished with it.
27:33Ah, this mug.
27:35That's right.
27:38Is that your wife?
27:40I have no wife. It is a girl.
27:44Your sister?
27:46So, sister.
27:47Is that your mother and father, is it?
27:48Mother, father.
27:52It's odd to think of you having a family.
27:54What?
27:55Nothing.
27:58It's nice.
28:00You look like your father.
28:02British say all Japanese same.
28:08Not when you look closer.
28:12You like cigarettes?
28:14Thanks.
28:16I want me to give you something for it.
28:19You want I pay?
28:20No.
28:24Shinya, I can't keep taking them for nothing.
28:27Why?
28:28Why?
28:29I pay the other guards.
28:31I want no payment.
28:32I know you don't want what...
28:36what they want.
28:38But maybe I could pay you some other way.
28:42I don't know.
28:43I don't know.
28:44I don't know.
28:45I don't know.
28:46Fancy some English lessons?
28:47That girl.
28:48Dorothy, isn't she?
28:49Hmm.
28:50She seems to be very friendly with the guards.
28:55Typical Lillian understatement.
28:59You mean she actually...
29:02I imagine so.
29:04We tend to turn a blind eye where Dorothy's concerned.
29:08Of course of it.
29:09I know.
29:14She's one of our casualties.
29:16She lost both her husband and baby.
29:19Oh no.
29:20Right back at the beginning.
29:22Since then she switched off.
29:25And Sally may be doing the same thing.
29:29I can imagine nothing worse than losing your child.
29:36Remember those miscarriages I had before Bobby?
29:41It's bad enough.
29:43Each time I felt as if I'd lost part of myself.
29:45If anything should happen to him.
29:48It won't.
29:49We'll make damn sure it doesn't.
29:54Oh Rue.
29:55I'm so glad you're here.
29:58Oh.
29:59I haven't been called Rue for over 20 years.
30:10Is anyone there?
30:13Yes.
30:14I think someone's trying to get through.
30:18Will you tell us who you are please?
30:21And who you want to speak to?
30:26Who are you?
30:29Will you tell us?
30:33P.
30:34It's a P.
30:35Sally.
30:36Quiet please.
30:37Maybe her husband.
30:38His name starts with P.
30:41Really?
30:43Then you try talking to him dear.
30:45See if he responds.
30:47Go on.
30:49Peter.
30:54Are you there Peter?
30:55It's moving.
30:56Look.
30:57Shhh.
30:58Deep concentration.
30:59Empty your minds.
31:00Are you Peter?
31:01Please tell me.
31:02Why?
31:03Me.
31:04Yes.
31:05Yes.
31:06Yes.
31:07Yes.
31:08Yes.
31:09What the devil's going on?
31:10How dare you interrupt?
31:11Thought as much.
31:12Come on Sal.
31:13You don't want none of that.
31:14You just made contact.
31:15Tommy rot.
31:16I suppose you got her into this you half-baked little ninny.
31:17I was only trying to help her.
31:18And you call this help?
31:19Poor girl's disturbed enough as it is without you filling her head with this nonsense.
31:23Up you get Sal.
31:24You're coming with me.
31:25Help.
31:26Help.
31:27He was there.
31:28Bosh.
31:29It's all in your head.
31:30When I asked if he was it spelled out yes.
31:32I was not.
31:33I was not.
31:34I thought you got her into this you half-baked little ninny.
31:35I was only trying to help her.
31:36And you call this help?
31:37Poor girl's disturbed enough as it is without you filling her head with this nonsense.
31:38Up you get Sal.
31:39You're coming with me.
31:40Help.
31:50He was there.
31:51Bosh.
31:52It's all in your head.
31:54When I asked if he was it spelled out yes.
31:56Somebody moved the thing.
31:59That nincompoop daisy I wouldn't wonder.
32:02Maybe you did it yourself.
32:04Wishful thinking.
32:06If you want to wish him anything wish him alive.
32:09He's dead.
32:10I know he is.
32:11The fetus talk.
32:12There are dozens of camps on this island.
32:14He could be in any one of them.
32:15That's what they all say.
32:17Then for God's sake listen to them.
32:19I might just as well write Monica off as dead.
32:23My friend.
32:25Monica Ratcliffe.
32:27We've known each other since we were tots.
32:31We were at Cheltenham together.
32:33Then Cambridge.
32:35Saw each other in and out.
32:38Two disastrous marriages.
32:40Finally fetched up in KL together.
32:43Running that blessed school.
32:46If I wrote her off now.
32:49I might as well do myself in.
32:52But I know jolly well that one of these days she'll turn up.
33:00And so will your chap.
33:02Just don't do to throw your hand in.
33:04It's what they want our fearless foes to undermine our morale.
33:09We've got to fight back.
33:11Show them they can't get us down.
33:15So snap out of it.
33:17There's the girl.
33:20You could start by joining me in that confounded choir.
33:23What do you say?
33:25Yes.
33:26All right.
33:27I'll have a go.
33:29Yes.
33:30All right.
33:31I'll have a go.
33:33I'll have a go.
33:41Good to see you.
33:43Good to see you.
33:49Good to see you.
34:03The galley looking so much better.
34:05Yes.
34:07The master of self.
34:13And now the commandant has asked me to give you some good news.
34:17Tomorrow, an important officer of the Imperial Army, General Shimojo, will be visiting our camp.
34:23There's a treat in the store.
34:25For this important occasion, the commandant wishes that all internees will wear their best clothes.
34:31How much?
34:33Should I choose the blue chiffon or the gold lawn?
34:36They will also make themselves tidy and groomed in readiness for their photograph.
34:40She can't be serious.
34:42The General has expressed the wish to show the world pictures of new arrivals happily settled in Japanese prison camps.
34:49We are greatly honored that our camp has been chosen for this privilege.
34:53Let us make sure all is well for the visit.
34:56All rooms will be scrubbed.
34:58All walls washed down.
35:00All new gardens will grow with abundance.
35:02She'll be lucky.
35:04And the
35:24Daisy, would you do me a favor?
35:37What's that?
35:38Saw this for me.
35:41That's your...
35:43Are you sure?
35:44Quite sure.
35:45I can't go on living in the past forever, can I?
35:47No, but please, be a sport.
35:51I need the money for something else.
35:54That should be enough to go around.
36:00Please, I beg you, be careful with them.
36:03And return them the moment the general's visit is over.
36:05You sure there's no higher charge?
36:07No, of course not.
36:09Although I'd have to charge for any damages.
36:11I shall have distress, it is my kind.
36:14Who do they belong to, Bernard?
36:16Oh, various people.
36:17I don't mind telling you, I have to twist a few arms.
36:20I did my best for you, sister.
36:21I'm damned if I see why we should dress up like a lot of dolls.
36:25The whole thing's a charade.
36:27Personally, I'd like to have my photograph taken, but then I am a good subject.
36:31All myself photograph, well...
36:32Mrs. Barmeyer, perhaps when they see your picture in the paper, you'll be discovered.
36:37Yeah, Metro Golden, they'll set up a writing party for you and whisk you off to Hollywood.
36:41Oh, look out, Joan Crawford.
36:43Please, I know it's ridiculous, but we have to go along with it.
36:46I don't see why.
36:48Good chance for a bit of sabotage.
36:51I don't advise you to try anything.
36:53You haven't seen Miss Hassan when she's crossed.
36:55I can imagine.
36:56You mustn't take any stupid risks.
36:58They'll probably have you shot on the spot.
37:00No, probably about it.
37:01You won't, will you?
37:02Be sensible.
37:03We don't want trouble.
37:04Better not, Joss.
37:07Then it needs trouble.
37:08Oh, all right.
37:09I assure you, it's much more to our advantage to impress the General.
37:14Don't worry, we will do our best.
37:16And I think we should all be very grateful to Werner for the trouble she has taken finding the clothes.
37:21Thank you, Mrs. Barmeyer.
37:22Dominica, please.
37:25Well, I'll leave you to get dressed.
37:27Oh, and a little makeup wouldn't come amiss.
37:30Madam, tell me to give you this.
37:32You should be able to manage with that and a bit of charcoal.
37:34There's only one problem. We haven't got a mirror.
37:36Oh, but you have.
37:38The one Sally bought yesterday.
37:39Oh, yes.
37:42Silly me.
37:43I forgot.
37:49It's to replace Christina's.
37:50Here they come.
38:09Look it!
38:15Looks like a nasty bit of work.
38:42So does the one beside him.
38:45Oh, grief.
38:46It's Satan.
38:47Huh?
38:47He was at our old camp.
38:49I'd hoped we'd seen the last of him.
38:53We've been...
38:54and...
38:54Boo!
38:56Up!
38:57Up!
39:00Why so?
39:01She started a fever earlier.
39:03Came half her all shivery.
39:05You sure I'd thought of that?
39:07Dr. Trier's got her under observation.
39:09What's wrong with getting out of this?
39:11Oh, Dottie, aren't you looking forward to the happy snaps?
39:20When the general comes to inspect us, I would like you at that end of the ward.
39:24Excuse me.
39:24Yes?
39:27I'd better go to the lab at the door, please.
39:28Very well, but don't be long.
40:18Oh.
40:19General says, all women hold cup high.
40:23Smile.
40:24Big.
40:25Now.
40:25Come on, everyone.
40:29Say cheese.
40:31Now, after I count three, right?
40:32One, two, three.
40:34Cheese.
40:35Watch cheese.
40:59Watch cheese.
41:00Watch cheese.
41:00Thank you, internees.
41:21Our honored guest is pleased with you.
41:23You will now go to your rooms while he carries out his inspection of the camp.
41:28We have to walk.
41:29I see.
41:29I see.
41:29I see.
41:32Two, three, two, three.
41:34Nobody.
41:34Can we speak?
41:35I see.
41:36I see.
41:50I see.
41:52Arigatou gozaimasu, Shogun.
42:00If she's not in the lavatory, where is she?
42:03I don't know.
42:05Koku wa Biosha desu, Shogun.
42:15Koku wa Arahima desu.
42:17Wakari na yoni koku ni wa koku.
42:22Koku.
42:52this is the first suicide we've had.
42:54you'll be able to write it up then won't you?
42:58what are you doing here?
43:00only medical staff are allowed.
43:02I want to help Beatrice prepare Sally's body.
43:05don't be upset. this is a job for a nurse.
43:07I am a nurse.
43:09it's true.
43:11I'd like you to help me.
43:13please.
43:15you were her friends.
43:22it's a waste.
43:32at least she achieved something didn't she?
43:35she wiped the smile off their faces.
43:38ruined the whole bloody visit.
43:41surely aren't suggesting she timed it deliberately?
43:47no?
43:52oh
43:54oh
43:56oh
43:58do
44:02oh
44:04do
