00:00:13In Korea, I was adjutant of the Gloucesters when we fought the Chinese at the Battle of the Imjin.
00:00:19Almost all of us who survived the battle were captured.
00:00:22The treatment that we received from our captors came as an unpleasant surprise.
00:00:27We naturally expected that the rules laid down by the Geneva Convention for the treatment of prisoners of war would
00:00:33be observed.
00:00:35It soon became apparent that the Chinese and North Koreans did not respect any such rules,
00:00:40but used methods designed to degrade us and to break our morale in order to convert us to communism,
00:00:47for which we were totally unprepared.
00:00:52We resisted them and they failed, but we had to learn the hard way.
00:00:59This film has been made based on our experiences and supervised by an officer who was with the battalion at
00:01:05that time,
00:01:05so that you may know the practices of possible communist enemies and combat them successfully.
00:01:14We are allowed to talk about the massacre, but then they won't stop us off.
00:01:29And that is what you do.
00:01:29We probably just had the intention of battling fighting at the Battle of the Imjin.
00:01:30So what we did was to bring the battle of the battle at the Battle of the Merekoans,
00:01:32so that we did a little bit of defeat in the battle of the battle of the Battle of the
00:01:33Battle of the Patriot.
00:01:58I'll see you next time.
00:02:09this is a prison camp in north korea the year 1950 many men of the united nations forces have
00:02:17been captured after battle with the chinese and north koreans but being a prisoner of war of this
00:02:22enemy didn't mean that the fight against communism was over it had only just begun
00:02:29this was a different enemy with different ways and resistance was something more than keeping
00:02:34the guards busy it's a matter of trying to keep your mind clear your nerves sound and of knowing
00:02:42your friends in communist hands the greatest gift one man can give another is his loyalty
00:02:49some were able to others tried and failed and some didn't even bother to try in these camps
00:02:56the daily routine was not what any pow expected there was no barbed wire no machine gun tower
00:03:02no nightly searchlight there was also no red cross the enemy said there was no need for them
00:03:10in communist hands everyone was safe in fact no one was even referred to as a prisoner of war
00:03:15you are not prisoners you are students we give you the chance to study and to learn the truth to
00:03:24show
00:03:24you how your leaders entangle the people in a web of lies you have brought what i sent you forth
00:03:31haunt him read it out the whole squad will attend classes at the fixed times and pay full attention to
00:03:39study sabotage of study will be regarded as a serious offense after lectures the whole squad will be
00:03:46organized for discussion and a record kept a bit for reporting to the authorities
00:03:52only the seriously sick are exempted from attending lectures and any other absence of bad behavior will be
00:03:58punished what about the geneva convention who's guilty of sabotaging study confess we shall discover the
00:04:11guilty reactionary who's the squad leader name the guilty one don't ask me take them back to your house
00:04:40and we're going to be stuck here all the winter while the whole british army sits on the races waiting
00:04:47for the flowers to come up they won't be doing nothing they'll keep on setting out patrols shut up
00:04:51i know about them shut up i tell you you've no authority here look i'm still the only nco in
00:04:56the
00:04:57squad your rank means nothing i'm the elected squad leader the pony election fixed by them do you want

00:05:13reckon we are from the front line at 200 miles that'll be a battle article to us selling out peddling
00:05:18patrols
00:05:21it's possible they'll try for one more attack before the winter really clamps down
00:05:25i want you to take your patrol to point overlooking this road here and watch for any signs of a
00:05:31move
00:05:31that's about 15 miles inside their lines they can have food to last you about 10 days now about your
00:05:36route back you'll come through a company's lines here any questions sergeant no i don't think so
00:05:42you must make it your responsibility to see that no letters are carried or photographs or souvenirs
00:05:47any single thing at all that an enemy interrogator could make use of if you're captured
00:05:51the only thing you must carry is your fpw 80 which i hope you filled in correctly if you're
00:05:56taking prisoner hang on to the top half and have it with you if you escape by the way if
00:06:02you are
00:06:02interrogated they won't worry about the geneva conventions too much i've always been told the
00:06:06best way to avoid interrogation is not to get captured sir so it is and the best time to escape
00:06:12is as soon after capture as possible but if you are taken remember his name rank number and date
00:06:18of birth i hope they'll be satisfied with that morrison good reference
00:06:28that's another report of bumping their patrols so don't go bulldozing your way through tomorrow
00:06:32night otherwise they'll nab you pretty damn quick no sir will that be awesome i think so sergeant my

00:07:15teaching them

00:08:00no they might send you a letter and i wouldn't like to withhold it especially as you don't seem to
00:08:06have many people to talk to here we know you're not happy in your squad you don't fit in
00:08:14you need more intelligent people
00:08:19not louts like ross
00:08:26you didn't call out did you no of course you didn't give more sense
00:08:32now you can go
00:08:37oh thornton i'll see about your transfer
00:08:41it's a good thing i'm soft-hearted i doubt if any of my comrades would have let you off so
00:08:47easily
00:08:57i hope you kept your mouth bloody shut
00:08:59it's going to be a good thing
00:09:07you are inside
00:09:16sabotage of study is as serious as all the other crimes you war criminals have committed
00:09:22you would like to kill me wouldn't you
00:09:25well i would like to kill you for all the peace-loving korean people you have destroyed
00:09:30all the crops you've burned all the homes you've bombed do you know how many bombs have fallen on
00:09:38villages ross
00:09:48who called our geneva convention ross shut the door
00:09:57it was it thornton
00:10:02i think it was thornton and in a way i admire him for his courage
00:10:09thornton didn't do the calling out then who did
00:10:14i'd say
00:10:16but you can take it from me it wasn't thornton you don't like him very much do you
00:10:21no
00:10:26why
00:10:29no reason
00:10:33is he a better soldier than you
00:10:37better soldier
00:10:41creeping little clerk
00:10:44but a clerk can be a key man
00:10:46especially in say the briefing of patrol
00:10:51the only patrol he's ever been on was to the bogs and back
00:10:54do you think the tears of helpless korean children whose parents like bleeding and dying
00:10:59are any different from any other children's
00:11:02and yet in spite of all the misery you brought to this beautiful country we chinese can be lenient
00:11:11but don't make the mistake of thinking that our leniency is limitless
00:11:18and i'll give you the name of the sabbathur who said the words to never convention
00:11:22nothing to say
00:11:25do you realize that all medical supplies and rations will be withheld
00:11:30unless we have the identity of this man
00:11:34yes
00:11:36yes
00:11:36do you know who said it
00:11:38yes
00:11:43are you prepared to see your friends suffer needlessly
00:11:47no
00:11:48then tell me who it was
00:11:51what happened to simpson for painting dreamland on that redstone
00:11:54you don't ask me questions
00:11:58if you think that simpson will be punished you are wrong
00:12:04that isn't our solution
00:12:06the chinese policy of leniency will enable simpson to have the time and the opportunity to realize his
00:12:13error this man too will be dealt with in the same way
00:12:23now tell me who it was
00:12:28me
00:12:43any news of cold
00:12:44don't you would not close the door

00:13:12it must be some kind of holiday if we're getting stuff like this
00:13:15not a holiday
00:13:17but yet another example of the lenient policy of your liberators
00:13:21there can be other awards for other evidence of your change of heart
00:13:26your decision to give up cold was a wise one
00:13:29give up cold
00:13:31here are some cigarettes as for the proof of our sincerity

00:31:39Sick finder.
00:31:48Well, if you don't reckon it's worth eating, I won't touch it.
00:31:51You should know you've been brought up on it.
00:31:52And I don't want to grow up looking horrible like you.
00:31:55Sweet job.
00:31:57Thank you very much.
00:32:11And if that's goodnight, she's hola to you too.
00:32:15She's hola.
00:32:16Bland the lingo.
00:32:19Shut bloody up, you illegitimate son of Madame Butterfly.
00:32:26For you, darling, I'll try sleeping on me left.
00:32:33See you in the morning.
00:32:42Denos!
00:32:43Where?
00:32:44Denos!
00:32:45Where?
00:32:47Where, Denos?
00:32:49Come on, come on.
00:32:50Where?
00:32:52Who's that?
00:32:53Shut up!
00:32:55Quick!
00:32:57I thought it was time to get up.
00:32:59Oh...
00:33:02Where?
00:33:30The
00:33:31The policy of the people's volunteers towards war criminals can be one of leniency or suppression.
00:33:37The choice is yours alone.
00:33:38I'm not a criminal.
00:33:39Stand to attention!
00:33:44You will give me every name in your subversive group.
00:33:48Confess your crimes.
00:33:50I haven't committed any crimes. You're wasting your time.
00:33:53Are your sympathies with the Chinese People's Republic?
00:33:55No.
00:33:56Then you are a self-confessed criminal.
00:33:58I am not.
00:33:59If you have no sympathy with the Chinese People's Republic, then you must be against it.
00:34:05I'm a soldier.
00:34:06You are a war criminal.
00:34:08Only the Chinese and the North Korean people are soldiers.
00:34:13You have come to Korea to take part in an aggressive war.
00:34:17Therefore, you are a war criminal.
00:34:18You have been engaged in subversive activities to overthrow the authority of the people's government.
00:34:25I have not been engaged on subversive activities.
00:34:28We can prove it.
00:34:30Then bloody well prove it or let me sleep.
00:34:34It's cracked.
00:34:35Subversive activities.
00:34:37He's definitely cracked.
00:34:38Push in!
00:34:39Push in!
00:34:41Push in!
00:34:41Shut your gulp.
00:34:42Sit!
00:34:57I can't just sit here doing nothing.
00:35:01You know what, talking to yourself's the first sign-off.
00:35:07Thinking about home too much is gonna make me morbid.
00:35:11So I'd better ration myself to a bit each day.
00:35:17I had something to lean against, it'd be a bit more comfortable.
00:35:19Who's here?
00:35:22There used to be a game we'd play as a kid, something like this.
00:35:26Somebody'd turn his back, then we used to have to try and get to him.
00:35:29Then he'd turn round quick, see if we were moving.
00:35:36Are you?
00:35:41Something, footsteps.
00:35:43Something, footsteps.
00:35:45Playing it on the pavement outside the flat seemed more real than this summer.
00:35:49Grandma's footsteps, that was it.
00:35:53On what's happening right now at home.
00:35:56Back, back!
00:35:57Quickly!
00:35:59You are my heart's delight.
00:36:02And where you are, I long to be here.
00:36:22Or, you are my heart's delight.
00:36:25You are my heart's delight.
00:36:44What are you doing?
00:36:48Hey, you are my heart's delight.
00:37:55If you're going to keep me up, I may as well make use of it.
00:38:02Hey!
00:38:03Where have you come to?
00:38:05Hey!
00:38:09I want the lavatory.
00:38:12Lavatory.
00:38:13Let me out of here.
00:38:14You know what a lavatory is, don't you?
00:38:16No, perhaps you don't.
00:38:19Until you confess to all your subversive activities, you will be kept there to rot.
00:38:23You are there to repent.
00:38:25And you will only be taken out of there when I say.
00:38:28Or when you are dead.
00:38:31Now I know what your trouble is.
00:38:33You are all bloody well constipated.
00:38:42Hey!
00:38:44Up!
00:39:01Up!
00:39:03Up!
00:39:06Up!
00:39:07Up!
00:39:10Up!
00:39:15Up!
00:39:16Up!
00:39:18Up!
00:39:22Up!
00:39:33Up!
00:39:36Up!
00:39:38Up!
00:39:38Let's see how you're getting off.
00:39:49Why don't you sit down?
00:39:54I've been sitting, thank you. I'd rather stand.
00:39:57Of course you have.
00:39:58How thoughtless of you.
00:40:00How are you feeling?
00:40:02Oh, fine.
00:40:04You don't have to pretend to me either.
00:40:07Although I haven't experienced it myself,
00:40:09I have seen the effects of sitting still for 16 hours
00:40:13and then not being allowed to sleep at night.
00:40:16It can send better men than you quite mad.
00:40:20Are you afraid of going mad, Daniels?
00:40:24Not particularly.
00:40:27You know, there's no need for these discomforts.
00:40:33No.
00:40:33No.
00:40:35No.
00:40:36All you have to do is answer my questions.
00:40:42Will you answer my questions?
00:40:45It all depends on the questions, doesn't it?
00:40:49They won't be too difficult, if that's what's worrying you.
00:40:54No.
00:40:55On second thoughts,
00:40:58I think you'll be able to answer them better after some sleep.
00:41:20What's happened to old Sweatface?
00:41:23And this smooth character, is he superior in order them to lay off me for a little?
00:41:28Well, at least it didn't spot any of that subversive activities, tripe.
00:41:34Careful though, friend.
00:41:36I'll begin to think this one's quite decent.
00:42:06I'll begin to think this one's quite the same.
00:42:18You have been guilty of yet another crime against the people's volunteers.
00:42:23I find you asleep.
00:42:25What have you to say?
00:42:28I was told to sleep.
00:42:29You are lying.
00:42:30I gave no such orders.
00:42:33It wasn't you.
00:42:34It was the other one.
00:42:35There is no other one.
00:42:38Hey, wait a minute.
00:42:41That smooth one said you could sleep.
00:42:44You are not going, Harpik.
00:42:46Sit as you have first told.
00:42:56You have confessed to one crime.
00:42:58Now you must confess to all the other crimes you have committed,
00:43:01including those you were guilty of before you surrendered.
00:43:05We already have the facts.
00:43:06And your facts are wrong.
00:43:08Is he blood-rapped?
00:43:09What facts could he have?
00:43:12So I interrupted a political lecture.
00:43:14What else?
00:43:15What crimes before I came here?
00:43:18Being an intelligence isn't a crime.
00:43:21Anyway, he doesn't know.
00:43:23Unless somebody told him.
00:43:25Most of the activities are known to us.
00:43:28But because of the traditional policy of leniency,
00:43:31you will be given the opportunity to expedite your crimes.
00:43:34I'm not a criminal.
00:43:36I'm a prisoner of war.
00:43:38And in such, I'm entitled to the protection of the Geneva Convention.
00:43:43You came here to fight.
00:43:44Fight.
00:43:45Fight.
00:43:47And the penalty for that is death.
00:43:48Death.
00:43:48Death.
00:43:50Death.
00:43:50Death.
00:43:51Death.
00:43:56Death.
00:43:57Death.
00:43:58Your father and I tried our hands at wallpapering last weekend.
00:44:02And our warhead helped the front room doesn't look so bad.
00:44:06Death.
00:44:07Death.
00:44:15Death.
00:44:19Death.
00:44:27You must confess to all your subversive activities.
00:44:31I have nothing to confess.
00:44:33But you came here to spy.
00:44:34And the penalty for that is death.
00:44:37I'm not a spy.
00:44:39I'm a British soldier.
00:44:42Why are you in Korea?
00:44:44Why have you come to this beautiful country?
00:44:46We have all the facts.
00:44:48You came here as a spy.
00:44:50Harry, this is your work.
00:44:53And the penalty for a spy is death.
00:44:55Your last letter was very welcome, Harry.
00:44:57Your father and I are glad you've got a new job.
00:44:59I hope it's more interesting and what you want.
00:45:02You make it sound very mysterious, though.
00:45:05Our new job.
00:45:12I said you would be short.
00:45:14And so you will.
00:45:15Here.
00:45:16No one will know.
00:45:17We are far from the camp and there will be no grave.
00:45:20If you kill me, you'll have to answer to murder.
00:45:22Who do?
00:45:23All spies are shot.
00:45:24That is understood all over the world.
00:45:26I'm a British soldier and entitled to be treated as a prisoner of war.
00:45:30You are a spy.
00:45:32Working in intelligence is not being a spy.
00:45:36Did I say you were in intelligence?
00:45:39Where did you get that idea from?
00:45:41Not from me.
00:45:44Tell us what you know about patrol.
00:45:48You must let me sleep first and give me some food.
00:45:51I...
00:45:51I'm too tired.
00:45:52I can't think straight.
00:45:54Let me sleep and then I'll write it all out for you.
00:45:58Hi, Hachi.
00:46:26I've finished.
00:46:27It's all there.
00:46:30Read it.
00:46:30Out loud.
00:46:32I think you ought to study it first.
00:46:33It's got drawings and positions, Mark.
00:46:35I shall do that later in any case.
00:46:36First, you will read it, comrade.
00:46:43The night before I was captured, I was on duty and present when a patrol was sent out.
00:46:48The instructions given by the officer were as follows.
00:46:52When you go down to the woods today, you're in for a big surprise.
00:46:56When you go down to the woods today, you'd better go in disguise.
00:46:59For every bear that ever there was will gather there for certain.
00:47:03Because today is the day the Chinese and North Koreans have their picnic.
00:47:07Picnic time is time for play.
00:47:13Yes, I see.
00:47:17Well, it's very simple.
00:47:18You know what to do.

00:59:51May this have a look?
00:59:53Hey!
00:59:59We, the undersigned, have been duped into joining the war in Korea, and ask the United Nations around...
01:00:05...not to place any obstacle in the way of peace-loving Chinese and North Korean people.
01:00:12That would be good for a few fags.
01:00:15What do you think you're playing at?
01:00:16You're gonna let yourself be walked over like that?
01:00:19Well, you can ride it out again. I'm not going to.
01:00:26What's all this about an armistice?
01:00:28Peace talks are starting.
01:00:34What's up, Fulton?
01:00:36I've forgotten something.
01:00:37I'll be back.
01:00:39Open the door.
01:00:41What have you seen that makes you so scared?
01:00:43Daniel's here?
01:00:44Leave him alone, Ross.
01:00:46Look at him.
01:00:48Why didn't you expect to see him?
01:00:50What have you been telling them, Fulton?
01:00:52Let him go.
01:00:53Stand by the door.
01:00:56He's not leaving here until I know once and for all if he's been talking.
01:01:06Come away from that door.
01:01:07Stay there.
01:01:08He's not getting out of here until he tells us the truth.
01:01:10Now, you'll listen to me, Ross.
01:01:12You keep out of this, Daniel.
01:01:13I've got a belly full of that kind of talk.
01:01:15You sound like they do.
01:01:17That's what they said to me.
01:01:18You won't leave here till you tell the truth.
01:01:20So what are you gonna do, also work him over?
01:01:22Away from there.
01:01:24Come away from there, Daniels, or else you'll get it too.
01:01:28I'm warning you, he's had just about enough of your friend.
01:01:32If anybody's got more right to do, Thornton, it's me.
01:01:36But I knew him before you did, Ross.
01:01:39He was a decent enough fellow then and a good friend.
01:01:41But he can't shove his weight about like you and he doesn't go around effing and blinding.
01:01:44I know what he does go around doing.
01:01:46And because you couldn't understand him, you pushed him outside your circle
01:01:48and that's just what they're waiting for.
01:01:51Would you like to be on the outside, Ross?
01:01:53With any of you?
01:01:57I didn't have to work for them.
01:01:59There's no excuse for that.
01:02:01I didn't say there was.
01:02:04There's something he'll have to live with the rest of his life.
01:02:06But you're not free from blame, you put your name to this, that's working for them.
01:02:09Every time you take a few fags for a favour, you're working for them.
01:02:12By turning on Thornton, you're doing exactly what they want.
01:02:16They're out to break you up.
01:02:18Turn friends into enemies, it's the only way they know.
01:02:21There's only one way to beat them out here, it'd be better than they are.
01:02:26And look at yourselves.
01:02:30What do you think would happen if the RSM walked in now?
01:02:33He'd do his bloody nuts!
01:02:40Thanos!
01:02:41You come!
01:02:45You know what to do with those.
01:02:48Bit by bit too, not all at once.
01:02:53It is time for the usual study.
01:02:55The peace talks that have been instigated by the peace-loving Chinese Communist forces are being sabotaged.
01:03:03More than ever, you must be asking yourselves, why are you here in Korea?
01:03:09You must ask yourselves whether your own side are really interested in having you released.
01:03:16We can offer you freedom from the capitalist oppression.
01:03:20We are Communists.
01:03:22And we therefore have studied the true feelings and the needs of the people.
01:03:26The Communist cause is the right one.
01:03:29And we represent all the oppressed people of the world in their struggle for freedom.
01:03:34What is your answer to that?
01:03:40Get stuffed.
