00:36We're expecting a new batch of internees tomorrow.

00:38Well, perhaps they'll know something.

00:40Marion!

00:42I'm afraid you'll have to excuse me.

00:44Good. Dominica found you.

00:46Yes, I'm doing my best shoes doing so.

00:48She said it was urgent.

00:50There's someone to see you. Where?

00:52Upstairs in your room.

00:54No, Dominica, not for a moment.

00:58I have to change my shoes.

01:00Let that wait. There's a good girl.

01:02She'll want to be on her own for a while.

01:22Thought you were dead they couldn't trace you.

01:24Bungling idiots got the wrong Jefferson.

01:26I'm with intelligence now.

01:30Just arrived from candy.

01:32Are you alright?

01:34Me?

01:36Yes.

01:38What about you?

01:40I'm fine.

01:42And Ben?

01:44Flourishing.

01:46Your mother too.

01:48Oh, thank God.

01:50Thank God.

01:51Oh, thank God.

01:52Thank God.

01:53Thank God.

01:59I don't know why I'm crying.

02:01I've never been so happy in my life.

02:06You mean he's alive?

02:07Yes.

02:08Of course, I guess when Phyllis asked me to fetch Marion,

02:10but I wanted to surprise her.

02:12Where are they?

02:13Upstairs.

02:14That's why I came in here.

02:16To allow them to be private.

02:18I'm so glad for.

02:20Yes, she is fortunate.

02:22She will not have to face the sorrows of widowhood

02:24as some of us must.

02:26I put on a brave face, but it is not easy.

02:29No, it can't be.

02:30Inside I bleed.

02:34It would be simpler if one did not have to do battle with the law.

02:37First we must have proof that he is dead these days.

02:40Of course he is dead.

02:42He died in the first year.

02:44Was he not in the same camp as Sally's husband,

02:45and like him,

02:46missing from the list of survivors?

02:48Major on which his list,

02:50woe is thorough.

02:51Exactly.

02:52What more evidence do they want?

02:54If they look for a grave,

02:56they will look forever.

02:57Doubtless he was just thrown into the earth

02:59with a makeshift cross.

03:01Perhaps.

03:02I plan in time to commission a memorial to him.

03:07Something fitting for a Van Mare.

03:11Until this is settled I can do nothing.

03:13You're not sure of money.

03:15Oh no no no no.

03:16Unfortunately I have my own personal shopping account.

03:19It is just a temporary inconvenience.

03:22In all this chaos you would think they had something better to do

03:26than to give additional distress to a sad widow.

03:32I wonder where my Colonel Jackson is this evening.

03:35So you left Singapore once?

03:37A couple of days after you.

03:39There were important documents to get out.

03:42Our ship was torpedoed.

03:44Went down in the Banker Straits.

03:45I was picked up by a junk and made it to Java.

03:48From there I got home.

03:50Eventually.

03:51You mean to England?

03:52Once there I was seconded to intelligence.

03:54Far East planning.

03:55All the time you were in England.

03:57Well they needed chaps with a knowledge of Malaya.

03:59So you saw Ben?

04:01Good deal of him.

04:02Until I was posted to India at the end of last year

04:04I was in on the planning of the recapture of Rangoon.

04:06What's he like? Has he changed much?

04:08See for yourself.

04:14That was taken last year.

04:16He's so tall.

04:18He's grown even more since then.

04:20His voice has broken too.

04:22He's a man.

04:24You'll be proud of him.

04:26He's doing splendidly at Wellington.

04:28He's in the Colts.

04:30Oh.

04:32Oh Clifford.

04:34I've changed even more.

04:42You look just the same to me.

04:44Liar.

04:46Well.

04:47Nothing that a few months rest won't rectify.

04:50When they said that you were among the survivors.

04:58I didn't know what to expect.

05:02I'd seen some of the men.

05:04Oh God yes.

05:06I suppose they took it out on you in other ways.

05:09Don't let's talk about that.

05:12So you thought I was dead.

05:14We heard that your ship had been sunk.

05:16I told myself that you'd make it.

05:18But after a year when there'd be no word.

05:20Oh they wouldn't let us write letters.

05:22Bastards.

05:26Is Vicki with you?

05:27No.

05:28She was drowned in 41.

05:35Jack has been informed.

05:37Oh my poor sweet.

05:41What you've been through.

05:49The others will be back soon.

05:52We can't stay here.

05:54It's all right.

05:55I had a word with that Raqui woman.

05:56There are some rooms vacant until tomorrow.

05:58And she's arranging for us to have one.

06:00It'll be the first time in three and a half years

06:02I'll have slept in a room on my own.

06:05You won't be on your own.

06:07No I meant without the others.

06:09It'll be the first time in three and a half years

06:11that I haven't slept on my own.

06:20Well when can we go up?

06:21Soon.

06:22They'll be moving into my room.

06:24Well not there's much point of going to bed.

06:26The others will only wake us up.

06:28Maggie and Coke.

06:29Fresh eating.

06:30That's true.

06:31They won't let me go with them

06:32but they don't mind keeping me awake half the night.

06:35Not long now and you'll be back home

06:36with a room of your own.

06:38Yes I can't wait.

06:40You're going to England too aren't you?

06:41I hope too.

06:42To join your dashing Lieutenant.

06:44Who told you about that?

06:46He's down there I think.

06:47Or one of the others.

06:49You know how things get around.

06:50Yes I do.

06:51I think it's terribly romantic.

06:53For heaven's sake.

06:54I don't even know if he's alive yet.

06:56Sure he is.

06:57He'd be like that story on woman's own.

06:59Oh hey.

07:00What's all this about Clifford Jefferson?

07:02He turned up here this evening.

07:04Isn't it wonderful?

07:05Oh there's Cherry.

07:07Hello Cherry.

07:08Hello.

07:09Hello Cherry.

07:10Hello.

07:11So.

07:12What sort of shapes clip it in?

07:13Did Phyllis say?

07:14Phyllis a fiddler according to her.

07:16Apparently he got over to England early on

07:18and spent most of the time in the war office.

07:20Another banana Colonel.

07:21Brigadier now.

07:22Oh yeah.

07:23They'll promote him for sitting on his backside.

07:25Probably give him a medal too.

07:26While the ones who really went through it

07:28what'll they get?

07:29A song from Gracie Fields.

07:31Sorry.

07:32I've been helping out on the walls.

07:35I can't sit by Tom's bed all the time.

07:38How was he today?

07:39The same.

07:40Just lies there.

07:41Seem worse than him pull through

07:43but they've made an effort.

07:45I suppose they had an incentive.

07:48He's got you.

07:50Doesn't seem to be enough.

07:52I talked to him about the future.

07:54What we'll do.

07:55Where we'll live.

07:56But he doesn't respond.

07:58What he can think about is that friend of his back in camp.

08:01Just keeps asking me to find out what's happened to him.

08:04But you can't.

08:05Oh I found out alright.

08:06I just can't bring myself to tell him.

08:08He's dead then.

08:09Worse.

08:10His mind's gone.

08:11He's in with the mental cases.

08:13Oh no.

08:14It's a wonder more of him.

08:16And we thought Mrs. Van Baye might come.

08:17Wouldn't hurt her to stump up for once.

08:18oh spiffy. I gather that Phyllis has found them a room. funny without Marion tonight.

08:35oh she's not complaining. who said something about a celebration drink?

08:39and we thought mrs. van May might came. wouldn't hurt her to stump up for once.

08:48he wasn't the only one who wished to marry me in those days. I had a string of wealthy suitor.

08:52just a pleasant evening. you're back.

08:55thought you might like to buy us all around a drink to celebrate Clifford Jefferson's return.

08:59and seeing as you didn't buy us one at the Chinese. and seeing as we're all skint.

09:02so how about it? mine's a gin sling. I think you've had enough to drink already.

09:06oh that's one way of getting out of it. it's hardly my fault if you've spent all your money.

09:12you mean the pig. perhaps she's saving up for that party she's going to give us.

09:18such manners. still what can you expect from girls of that sort.

09:21is it true though used to make up to the guards in your camp?

09:24i'm afraid so. but only now and then. for food and cigarettes.

09:30maggie perhaps. and she got us medicines too. but dorothy was shall we say more personally involved?

09:37no. really? certainly at one time. you weren't in our second camp were you alice?

09:44no. i could tell you some stories. about dorothy? go on. we won't say anything.

09:52this is in the strictest confidence you understand. she was very friendly with one of the guards there.

09:59oh yes. i remember someone telling mummy. didn't she give him english lessons?

10:05well of course that later. you know there was a bit of jungle juice. yeah.

10:10right then. oh my goodness. a toast. beauty. to marian and the cone. brigadier.

10:16good luck to marian and the cone. hear what i wouldn't give to be here tonight. maggie.

10:20well just think three and a half years to make up for. it's ridiculous. we're just out of practice.

10:31it's a night of all nights. never mind.

10:36be all right tomorrow when we're in our own bed. you think we should go back?

10:41don't you? i gather the place is habitable. yes i think so. i didn't go inside.

10:50you don't want to stay here surely. it's like a railway station. no but

10:57no of course not.

11:01is it the thought of those japs living there? oh no it's not that. it's just

11:08it's nothing.

11:12you know i want to go home more than anything else in the world.

11:17we'll feel more relaxed there.

11:21it doesn't matter.

11:26it's enough just to be close.

11:41i'm surprised Clifford didn't know me.

11:54i hardly recognized myself.

11:55the only thing is i can see a look of father. that's disconcerting.

12:05came up to say goodbye.

12:07it's not goodbye Beatrice isn't it?

12:08well i'll be up the road.

12:19remember in the camp?

12:20they fell by the wayside.

12:24it's like that now.

12:26first you.

12:28maggie and dorothy will be moving out.

12:31they'll be shipping us all off.

12:34what have you decided?

12:36well i'll go back home for form's sake.

12:38as well take advantage of the free passage.

12:41then i'll come back here take up my old job.

12:44nothing to stop me now i've got the he's.

12:47you haven't considered staying on in england?

12:50there's no point.

12:52i specialize in tropical medicine.

12:53besides i haven't got any ties.

12:57father and i like chalk and cheese.

13:01never close to my sister.

13:03we've got nothing in common.

13:06perhaps if we've been stuck in a prison camp together.

13:11you're more of a sister to me than she'll ever be.

13:15oh Beatrice.

13:23excuse me please.

13:28yes.

13:29we met in the dining room early on.

13:31i was in the same camp as marion.

13:33mrs jefferson.

13:34of course i'm sorry.

13:36i used to know someone in your regiment.

13:38simon treves.

13:40young treves.

13:41yes i saw him quite recently.

13:43he's in india now.

13:44he's alive then.

13:45oh very much so.

13:46he was wounded a couple of years back.

13:48nothing too serious.

13:49ah there you are marion.

14:13do you remember polly and felix?

14:14poor christina.

14:16oh lord was there something going on there?

14:18i think there's some sort of understanding yes.

14:20hell never entered my head.

14:22she's probably well out of it.

14:24seldom works.

14:25whites and wongs and all that.

14:27car's outside.

14:33he did say 10 didn't he?

14:35he had an appointment down the docks first thing.

14:38i'm gonna have to do something about transport.

14:40we can't keep on cadging lifts up jane.

14:42i can get some bikes.

14:43oh where are you off to?

14:47another assignation with lover boy.

14:49if you're referring to stephen wentworth i can tell you one thing.

14:52he's a darn sight better company than you lot.

14:55good morning jane.

14:56good morning.

14:57hello.

14:59sorry to keep you.

15:00tell me was that marion i saw outside?

15:02getting into a lagonda.

15:03yeah probably it was her husband last night.

15:05spent it.

15:06she must have been relieved.

15:08moving back into their house are they?

15:10i bet they won't have to scrub it out neither.

15:13no it appears to be in immaculate condition.

15:15all right for some.

15:16you ought to call around there sometime.

15:18clifford jefferson could probably put some work your way.

15:20here is a girl after my own hunt.

15:34i've imagined this so many times.

15:37coming home?

15:38no.

15:40coming home with you.

15:46when i came back on my own the other day it was awful.

15:51i was at my lowest ebb.

15:56dola was so different.

15:59you saw dola?

16:02yes.

16:03but but he wasn't like our old dola.

16:05he was hostile almost.

16:08i suppose they'd worked on him.

16:11they've left quite a legacy of anti-british feeling amongst the natives.

16:17what about the other servants?

16:18jasmine and joe?

16:18old may?

16:20there wasn't a sign of anyone else.

16:23probably goners.

16:25you heard about the massacres?

16:2720 000 chinese slaughtered in the first few days.

16:31yes.

16:32we'll get them the bastards responsible.

16:39for that and all the other atrocities.

16:45that's what i shall be doing from now on.

16:47coordinating war crime investigations.

16:50what was the name of your commandant?

16:57well it's been top of my list.

17:03here we are.

17:04here we are.

17:17here we are.

17:19here we are.

17:21here we are.

17:29well here we are.

17:32so

17:35Flippin' heck, where do we start?

17:57Well, at least they've left the shutters.

18:03Jake doesn't waste any time, does he?

18:08Are you all right doing all of this?

18:11Perhaps he fancies one of us.

18:13Tell you what, I wouldn't mind obliging.

18:16No!

18:18Hey, Dot, just think, once we get this place fixed to sleep in, we'll be free.

18:24Oh, I mean, really free.

18:27There's no freedom at raffles.

18:29That's helped for you in the camp.

18:31Now Phyllis breathing down our necks there.

18:34This isn't so bad.

18:36Cleared worse.

18:38Never forget the beginning.

18:41When we arrived at our first camp.

18:44Yours must have been as bad.

18:46I don't know, I can't remember.

18:48All that's still a blank.

18:50Can't you remember any of it?

18:52Not really.

18:53Not after Dennis was shot.

18:55Not even Violet.

18:57Nellie had to look after her.

18:59Poor little love.

19:01Her nursery was in there.

19:05We had it all done up.

19:07Little pink rabbits.

19:09Oh, that was another life.

19:12That was a different person.

19:17You know, if Dennis hadn't been killed, if he'd been here now, I wouldn't know how to talk to him.

19:23Oh, what did you talk to him about before?

19:26Nothing.

19:27Well, you know, domestic stuff.

19:32Meals.

19:33Clothes.

19:34Violet.

19:35I talk more to Shinya than I ever did to Dennis.

19:41I was like a child myself then, really.

19:44Well, you've certainly learnt to look after yourself.

19:48In the camp, yes.

19:52I'll go and fill these buckets.

20:04All seems to be in order.

20:07Just as we left it.

20:12Have to hand it to the blighters.

20:14Everything's so clean.

20:16No doubt they had plenty of servants.

20:20But it's a month since they left.

20:22You'd think there'd be some dust.

20:27Oh, the golden treasury.

20:30Were there books in the camps?

20:32Some.

20:33The ones in our luggage.

20:35I had a copy of Biggles I was taking home for Ben.

20:39What about paper?

20:40Are you allowed that?

20:41Not officially, but I managed to scrape enough together for my diary.

20:46Have you kept a diary?

20:48Yes.

20:50It got burned.

20:52By the Japanese?

20:54Pity. Could have been useful.

20:57What was that?

20:59Sounded like someone upstairs.

21:01It's May.

21:02May.

21:03Welcome home, ma'am.

21:04Oh, May.

21:05So that explains the dusting.

21:06You've still had your keys.

21:07Yes.

21:08When I hear they go, I come in each day through back.

21:10I know you will return.

21:11Thank goodness you're the same.

21:12I saw Dola the other day.

21:13Oh, Dola much change.

21:14How about meeting Joe?

21:15I don't know.

21:16They go up country when the Japanese come.

21:17Well at least we have you, May.

21:18Did you have a bad time?

21:19Oh, it is not easy for my people.

21:20Your sons?

21:21Both are dead.

21:22Oh, May.

21:23Oh, May.

21:24Oh, May.

21:25So that explains the dusting.

21:26You've still had your keys.

21:27Yes.

21:28When I hear they go, I come in each day through back.

21:29I know you will return.

21:30Thank goodness you're the same.

21:32I saw Dola the other day.

21:33Oh, Dola much change.

21:35How about meeting Joe?

21:36I don't know.

21:37They go up country when the Japanese come.

21:40Well at least we have you, May.

21:42Yes.

21:43Did you have a bad time?

21:44Oh, it is not easy for my people.

21:46Your sons?

21:47Both are dead.

21:49Oh, May I'm sorry.

21:51They are killed by the Japanese soldiers from Hiroshima.

21:54That would be their fifth division.

21:56They massacred thousands.

21:58Now God send bomb to punish them.

22:01Master Ben, is he safe?

22:04Yes.

22:05In England.

22:06You see him?

22:07No, I haven't.

22:08Tuan has.

22:09He was over in England.

22:10For some of the time, yeah.

22:12And you, ma'am?

22:13In one of the camps.

22:15Oh, then you have suffered much.

22:17I see what happened in Changi.

22:19May, the first thing I want you to do

22:21is to line up some servants

22:22to replace Dola and the others.

22:24Yes, Tuan.

22:25No, Clifford, I'd rather not.

22:26I can manage with just May.

22:27Nonsense.

22:28Of course I can.

22:29Well, it's only for a while.

22:30It isn't as if we'll be entertaining on any scale.

22:32No, but there's the laundry and cooking.

22:34Good Lord, I've been doing a dance.

22:36I had more than that for the last few...

22:38In the camp, we did all our own cooking and cleaning.

22:43Yes, well, you're not in the camp anymore.

22:45From now on, she's not going to lift a finger, is she, May?

22:48No, Tuan.

22:49From now on, you're going to be spoiled.

22:51Right, girls, if you'll wait here, I'll see about your rooms.

23:00I'll soon be able to put your feet up.

23:04Could you telephone the other hotels right away?

23:07Right.

23:08More arrivals?

23:09More than we bargained for.

23:10There's another lorry load behind.

23:12Where are they from?

23:13War area.

23:14Must have been crawling with camps.

23:16Every time we think the end's in sight, they unearth another one.

23:19It's anything I can do.

23:21Be a brick and go and chat to them.

23:23While I chase up some extra beds here.

23:25Excuse me.

23:26Please.

23:27Hello.

23:28Welcome to Raffles.

23:29My name's Mason.

23:30Beatrice Mason.

23:31I gather we were in neighboring camps.

23:33They got us out about a week ago, so we've had time to acclimatize.

23:36Don't worry.

23:37Soon get used to it.

23:39I suppose none of you have come across a nurse called Nellie Keane.

23:43I know that, but if you could just ask.

23:49Won't be long now.

23:50That woman over there.

23:52It is Dr. Mason, isn't it?

23:54That's right.

23:55She looks so much older.

23:57We were in the same camp for a while.

23:59Oh, jolly good.

24:00Well, you know the others then?

24:02The rest of that group are here too.

24:04Their leader, Marion Jefferson, was, but she's just joined her husband.

24:07There's Joss Holbrook.

24:08You probably remember her.

24:09A bit of a character.

24:11And let me see.

24:12Is there a girl called Dorothy?

24:14If I knocked off, we'd have a grand old time.

24:17I'll think about it.

24:19I can't shit the bloody stuff.

24:24Nothing to think about.

24:26You don't want to go back to England.

24:29How do I?

24:30They expect me to be what I'm not anymore.

24:32Well, you can be whatever you want.

24:35You can be yourself.

24:36Whatever that is.

24:38You'd soon find out.

24:40We wouldn't have to pretend about anything.

24:43There'd be nobody telling us what's good for us.

24:47I'd have to get a job.

24:49Too hard.

24:51I've never done a proper job.

24:53My father didn't believe in women working.

24:55Neither did Dennis.

24:57Oh, me.

24:58I was at the mill when I was 14.

25:00Bloody thankless grind that was too.

25:04Well, there must be something.

25:07There's always bar work.

25:09Her scrubbing.

25:10I wish I had Jake's, you know how.

25:12That's what I'd really like to do.

25:14Way in a deal.

25:15Hmm.

25:16Be exciting.

25:17But wouldn't it?

25:18Taking risks all the time.

25:20Oh.

25:21Me.

25:22I'd rather be more settled.

25:25I've something behind me.

25:27We'd have the bungalow.

25:28You would.

25:29Did you hear what I just heard?

25:32He can't have gotten more ready.

25:37Can't he?

25:41Hey, Whitby.

25:58Don't leave it, you're scared. Bring your back to the hotel.

26:14They've got themselves rights now.

26:16If I tell you something, do you promise not to breathe a word?

26:19What about Dorothy? Promise?

26:23I can't tell you here. Come outside.

26:39Well, look, you know what Miss Van Mare was saying about her in that jab?

26:43Van Mare does exaggerate.

26:44No, but it's true. Some women arrived today who were in that camp,

26:47and once more, one of them told me something else.

26:49Well, he didn't actually tell me.

26:51Gossiping as usual.

26:54You get blisters on your tongues.

26:59Silly little beanpole. They're getting back to Dorothy.

27:06Alison and a chum gossiping in the passage.

27:09Boredom set in, no doubt.

27:14What's happened to Marion's bidding?

27:16They took it for the new internees.

27:18Oh, anyone amongst them we know?

27:21A couple from the second camp.

27:23Enoch Trotter.

27:25Lost a child.

27:26Oh, yes.

27:27And Madge Burchard.

27:29Sour-looking creature, always complaining.

27:31That's the one.

27:32First, Phyllis wanted to put her in here.

27:34Holy smoke.

27:35Luckily, she preferred to remain with her own group.

27:38Never did approve of us.

27:40Oh, let me get these boots off.

27:49Something up?

27:52Nellie's dead.

27:54Oh.

27:56Oh, I'm sorry.

27:58Melted in my bones.

27:59That's what...

28:00One goes on hoping.

28:02Yes.

28:03It was the same with me and Monica.

28:05The stupid thing is she only died three months ago.

28:08She saved umpteen lives herself and...

28:11If they just had some quinine she might have made it.

28:15So unfair!

28:17Fairness doesn't come into it.

28:19Didn't then, doesn't now.

28:21Stephen's desperate for penicillin for his people.

28:26Can he get any through the official channels?

28:28Oh, no.

28:30Brits first and bugger the natives.

28:35Are you sure you can't help?

28:38Sorry, what?

28:40We need penicillin.

28:43Jake Halter was saying the same thing.

28:44Yes, I heard him.

28:45Seems it's like gold dust.

28:47Must be if he can't get any.

28:49Maybe with your contacts.

28:52What contacts?

28:53Different if I was back in harness.

28:56Any news on that front?

28:57Yes.

28:58Yes, I'm going to see the administrative board tomorrow.

29:00Maybe you could have a word in his ear.

29:02I don't even know him.

29:04Some military appointment.

29:07Oh, strange faces.

29:10Nothing is as it was.

29:15Well, at least things are working out for Marion.

29:19You've got to be able to find work on the other side.

29:21Just walk away from you.

29:22I don't know whether it's been a work-off.

29:23I know you've got to place.

29:24You've got to be able to find that space.

29:25I don't know if I can make that space.

29:26I don't know if I've seen that space to go over.

29:28I don't know if I can.

29:29Well, I can.

29:30You're going to stay.

29:31You're going to get to be able to get to build a big data.

29:32Maybe you're going to make it.

29:34It's going to be a big data.

29:35Maybe you're there, maybe you're going to be a half hour.

29:36You're going to be able to find a little bit as you want to do tonight.

29:39I think you're going to find the same thing.

30:10In the camp, did they ever touch you?

30:19No, never.

30:22Not me.

30:26Others?

30:29There was an incident at our first camp.

30:32The men concerned were punished.

30:35Other than that, they never forced anyone to...

30:38Some didn't need forcing, I dare say.

30:41Many were there.

30:44What?

30:47Collaborators.

30:50There was a leader at our second camp.

30:53She's dead now.

30:55Well, there must have been another.

30:57There were women who were friendly with the guards.

31:05But that was all.

31:06They never betrayed the rest of us.

31:08As far as you know.

31:11Only one did that.

31:14Lillian Cartland.

31:15Johnny Cartland's wife?

31:20The one you were at school with?

31:24Yes.

31:25Go on.

31:26She did it to get food for Bobby.

31:29I hope they hushed that up.

31:31Oh, yes.

31:32They were bundled onto one of the first ships out.

31:36Before we even arrived, the Rappree officer told me.

31:38Just as well.

31:40No joke being a collaborator now.

31:43No.

31:43Lillian Cartland.

31:51Tell me about him.

31:53No, please.

31:54I'd rather not.

31:56I want to forget that.

32:01You seem so fragile.

32:05I'm afraid of hurting you.

32:08I'm not that fragile.

32:09I'm not that fragile.

32:13I don't want to be a killjoy,

32:23but I wouldn't go out until you know the ropes.

32:26And then not on your own.

32:27There's a lot of riffraff around.

32:29And do hang on to your purses.

32:31Now, I've got some forms here that want filling in.

32:33Probably going to take most of the morning.

32:36Same old patter.

32:38You off to the hospital?

32:39Yeah, just waiting for Bea.

32:40She's going up there too.

32:40You want to get a bike like me and Doc.

32:43Hey, what's that name now?

32:47You can't be off.

32:49The sooner we move into the bungalow,

32:50the sooner we get out of this nut house.

32:52Shh.

32:53Come on, there aren't enough sick people in this world.

32:56Sorry to keep you waiting.

32:57Oh, that's all right.

32:59How are you feeling?

33:00I'm nervous.

33:00Anybody who think I was going for my first interview,

33:02never mind try and get my old job back.

33:04Well, thank you.

33:05Now, remember what I said.

33:17Take it easy.

33:19I really can't imagine why you bothered to get up.

33:21I've lost the habit of lying in.

33:24It'll soon come back.

33:26I hope you have a good day.

33:27It'll be a busy one.

33:31Ship loads of prisoners pouring in.

33:37I'll see you this evening.

33:38Bye.

33:39Bye.

33:40Bye.

33:41Bye.

33:42Bye.

33:43Bye.

33:44Bye.

33:45Bye.

33:46Bye.

33:47Bye.

33:48Bye.

33:49Bye.

33:50Bye.

33:51Bye.

33:52Bye.

33:53Bye.

33:54Bye.

33:55Bye.

33:56Bye.

33:58Wonderful job you medicos did in the camps.

34:00We did what we could.

34:02Some invaluable research carried out too.

34:04Splendid effort.

34:05We are proud of you all.

34:08To get back to the question of my future.

34:11Ah, yes.

34:12No doubt you've had time to think about your plans.

34:16More than enough.

34:17You'll be going home, I take it.

34:19Well, for two or three months.

34:20But I'd like to resume my old post in the new year.

34:23I realize that the colonial office is dealing with organizational matters, but a recommendation

34:28from this end would obviously go a long way.

34:30Let me get this straight.

34:31Do you wish to return here to work?

34:34Yes.

34:35If I'm wanted, that is.

34:36No, it's not a matter of wanting, Doctor.

34:39God knows we need all the European staff we can find, particularly people of your caliber.

34:44But do you really think it would be worth it?

34:47How do you mean?

34:48It would only be for a limited period after all.

34:51Well, I'm not due for retirement yet, if that's what you mean.

34:54It may look a bit decrepit, but I've got a few years.

34:55No, I wasn't thinking of your official retirement, Dr. Mason, but rather of your enforced one.

35:00What?

35:02I'll be frank.

35:04How long do you think you could continue working under the circumstances?

35:08Wouldn't it be better if you were to...

35:09Under what circumstances?

35:11What are you talking about?

35:16Just your general state of debility.

35:19Could I be fit by the new year?

35:22Unless you know something that I don't.

35:26It's to do with my eyes, isn't it?

35:27All those tests you gave me.

35:30What is it?

35:32I think it would be better if you saw the consultant, obviously.

35:36He's the best person.

35:37There's something wrong. I want to know, here and now.

35:40I really don't feel I'm...

35:41Good God, man, I'm a doctor. I don't need cushioning.

35:46Please, tell me.

35:53You'd better see for yourself.

36:00I could keep myself.

36:03I took it you've been informed.

36:05There's no note to the contrary.

36:15I can't tell you how sorry I am, Dr. Mason.

36:20And that you should have heard like this.

36:23I imagine they thought it was better to wait until I was...

36:26What's their expression?

36:30Psychologically equipped

36:31to deal with the blow.

36:35I won't keep you any longer.

36:36I still need to reconsider my future.

36:39Morning.

36:39Oh, may, let me do that.

37:01No, ma'am.

37:02Twan say you must do nothing.

37:04You rest.

37:05You rest.

37:08Wow.

37:09Okay.

37:22Bye.

37:24Bye.

37:25Bye.

37:26Bye.

37:31Bye.

37:33I'll see you next time.

38:03It's all right May. Hello Jake. Hello again. I was out this way. You thought I'd call by. Oh do come in.

38:24I heard about your husband. I wanted to see how glad I am.

38:28Thank you. Oh please sit down.

38:32You certainly look a bit brighter than you did the other day. I feel it.

38:39I hope I'm not disturbing you. Oh to the contrary I was at a bit of loose end.

38:44Your husband's not here then? No he had to start work at once.

38:48They have quite a job on their hands.

38:51If I can be of any use to him.

38:53Any labor difficulties, transport problems.

38:56I'm sure he'd be grateful.

38:59Meanwhile perhaps I can be of use to you.

39:01I was on my way back into town. Would you like a lift over to Raffles?

39:04Oh thank you.

39:06Oh thank you.

39:07Oh thank you.

39:08Oh thank you.

39:14Oh my God.

39:15Oh no.

39:24Oh my God.

39:37you

39:46Phyllis said you were up here. everybody else seems to be out.

39:49how are you? seems ages since you went. yes it was only yesterday.

39:55I wanted to see you particularly. I'm sorry about Simon Treves.

40:00at least he's alive. still I know how you feel. I was so naive to believe him.

40:08men like that don't marry Chi-Chi's. he probably thought you were dead.

40:12Clifford thought I was. he still waited.

40:21I've decided not to go after all. to England? not for the moment anyway. we have

40:29till December to commit ourselves. I thought I'd get a job for now.

40:32Phyllis says they're short of clerical stock. Clifford might be able to help.

40:36I know his department need people who can speak Japanese. they're dealing with the

40:40war crime investigations.

40:44do you think Yamuichi will be brought to Singapore? I imagine so.

40:53he could be here already. yes in some ways he was a good man.

41:23Dr. Mason? I thought it was you. oh looky dear.

41:44I'm a bit off the beaten track aren't you? yes sir. as I was taking a walk.

41:51it's not very wise. not on your own. let me give you a lift back to Raffles.

41:56no thank you. I've got a call in at the Goodwood Park. no really.

42:01Marion would never forgive me if I allowed anything to happen to you.

42:06some time I'd like to have a word with you officially.

42:15about the conditions of your camp and treatment of the women.

42:19I'm sure Marion's the one to talk to. Marion seems reluctant to talk about it.

42:24Colonel Smith has told me the same.

42:28besides as their doctor you are best qualified to give us information.

42:34we were in three different camps our groups.

42:37I gather they were all under the same commandant.

42:40major Yamuichi. yes.

42:44what was he like?

42:47I hold him directly responsible for the deaths of over a hundred women and children.

42:51and the permanent disablement of many more.

42:54when they finally surrendered he opened up the store cupboards.

42:58and they were full of drugs, medicines, vitamins, all the things we've been crying out for.

43:02most of them need never have died.

43:05Dr. Mason.

43:07if necessary would you be prepared to witness against him?

43:21bye. see you later.

43:23hello Beatrice.

43:25hello.

43:26how did your interview go?

43:28oh fine.

43:29everything's fixed up is it?

43:31a certain amount of red tape to be sorted out.

43:34oh just for a change.

43:35hello.

43:36so how was your day?

43:37oh don't ask.

43:38oh tom's not worse.

43:39thanks to some people.

43:40that colonel smithers came round the ward collecting evidence.

43:43never mind the state they were in.

43:44if it helps to put people like yamauchi behind bars then i'm all for it.

43:47he even tried to question tom.

43:49well i soon put pay to that.

43:51and whose orders was he acting under?

43:53clifford bloody jefferson.

43:54i don't think you should criticise clifford for attempting to bring a criminal like that to justice.

43:58there's others he could question.

43:59aren't you prejudging yamauchi?

44:01what do you mean?

44:02calling him a criminal before he's even been tried.

44:05we know what he did christina.

44:06we don't even need to have a trial.

44:08but he was acting under orders from the high command.

44:10often he showed kindness.

44:12to you maybe.

44:13not just to me.

44:14not to the dying.

44:15not to the sick.

44:16that's true.

44:17some of us will bear the scars of his inhumanity for the rest of our lives.

44:20he was a sick man himself.

44:22that doesn't excuse his giving sato a free reign.

44:24if he had just once.

44:25i'm not excusing him.

44:26all i'm saying is i think we should wait for the trial.

44:30yes.

44:31and when that day comes i intend to stand up and witness against him.

44:35i've already told clifford jefferson that i'm prepared to.

44:38and what's more i hope that my evidence helps to hang him.

44:47i'm sorry if i appeared antisocial.

44:58at the end of a hard day one just isn't in the mood for strangers.

45:02i had to ask him in for a drink clifford.

45:04he'd given me a lift of raffles and back.

45:06i don't know why you went over there.

45:08i was bored.

45:10and i wanted to see the others.

45:17why don't you like jake anyway?

45:19who said i didn't?

45:20oh i may not have seen you for a while but i still know that frozen look.

45:24oh it's the type i don't go for.

45:25what type?

45:26wide boys.

45:27that's a bit unfair.

45:28he's obviously on the make.

45:29got a finger in every pie.

45:30he's been very kind to us.

45:31feathered his nest no doubt during the occupation.

45:33very convenient being half swiss.

45:35everybody said how invaluable he was to his embassy and to the staff at raffles.

45:39the barman told me used to bring them war news taken from the BBC broadcasts.

45:43i mean he has a tremendous knowledge of languages too.

45:45of course he would with that pedigree wouldn't he?

45:48he was educated at radley clifford.

45:50that doesn't make him english.

45:54his mother was indian presumably.

45:56what if she was?

45:58does it matter?

45:59no.

46:00i was simply stating a fact.

46:03oh come on let's not spoil our evening getting hit up over jake halter.

46:08oh i'm sorry.

46:10sorry.

46:15by the way i had a chat with a fellow in rapwee today

46:18and he thinks that we might be able to wangle you an early passage home.

46:22maybe next week.

46:24what?

46:25i know i know it's the last thing that i want too.

46:27but i'm gonna be up to my eyes over the next few months

46:29and you'd be much better off recuperating with your mother.

46:32besides you'll want to see ben as soon as possible.

46:34yes but

46:36i'd rather not leave until the others have settled their plans.

46:41i can't just ditch them clifford.

46:43several of them have problems to sort out.

46:45they don't need you.

46:48that rapwee woman is perfectly capable of looking after them.

46:51she doesn't know them as i do.

46:53darling i don't think...

46:54besides i'm their leader.

46:56not anymore.

46:58i feel responsible for them.

47:00that is very commendable marion but i really don't think...

47:02wouldn't you feel responsible if they were your men?

47:05it's hardly the same thing.
