Pacific Inferno (1979) - full transcript

Torpedo

For Christ's sake.

What's going to happen now?

I am not sure.

Your mother.

From this time on you to answer to me.

Please help me.

Hello?

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh,

oh, oh.



What do you want with us here?

You are here for a reason.

I am. Can be here.

You, intelligence
and military police control

Captain Kobayashi,

commanding officer

needs to listen
to Captain's words with care.

You are to be treated well,

given
good food and pleasant place to live.

All that we ask is that you dove
and recover silver vessels.

He should be informed.

We are all aware of your skill
in underwater work.

You can now use your skills
to our benefit.

If you refuse, you die.



I pressed on

United States Navy diver

number one and demolition expert

Robert Fletcher,

United States Navy diver, first class.

So, Dawson

and look, Colonel Sterling, SWAT

team.

He does not wish to threaten.

It is his duty.

It is better to be treated.

Well than to die for not cooperating.

Excuse me, sir.

He said something about silver.

What silver?

Before we took Corregidor.

No navy dumped silver petals.

It is our desire to retrieve it.

What's wrong with using your own divers?

That is no concern of yours.

You need only to be concerned
with staying alive.

Seems like you're giving us no choice.

You have no choice.

Food.

Drink this. Things will be brought to

this rest.

No place comfortable for yourselves.

Make them

Americans die.

My men

took special
care to build you a fine house.

What's your name?

So there's a.

Lot of you guys cut the bullshit.

Is this where we.

Yes. Very fine.

Excuse me, but where do I stay?

That is very frank.

How much you can expect an officer
to live in the same house?

The Negroes, can you?

But he had this right.

My man took special effort
to make you Americans comfortable.

I don't care what the circumstances are.

We don't bunk down
with Negroes on the ship.

They have their quarters.
We have our quarters.

Is that clear?

That is loud and clear.

But this ain't no ship.

And it surely ain't no United States,
no God damn America.

And as tight as I am,
and I ain't taking orders from nobody

except them Japanese.

Listen, there's one point
you all should understand.

This may be a prisoner of war camp,
all right?

But we're still in the Navy.

As far as I'm concerned.

Nothing has changed.

You are surely right about that.

Listen, I don't know what you guys are
going to do, but I'm going to stay here

and I want you to understand it.

Like DuPont, somebody.

Don't
you think an exception is needed here.

Man, I do not understand you.

You stand up,
let the cat talk to you like that.

After you, sir.

It's all yours, sir.

You got room for one more

six oh.

It's important we talk.

Please.

No matter how you find things underwater,

make it look hard to get.

Hey. What do you mean?

Don't explain. No, please.

Trust me.

What was that all about?

I bring you greetings from Captain
Kobayashi and pleasurable food and drink.

Oh, well,

I haven't got it all.

This number one.

Best Japan wine

drink.

Oh, yes.

Very good rest.

Plenty rest

tomorrow.

You must be ready to start diving early.

Oh, you.

Excuse me.

Jesus Christ.

What is this?
Grand Central Station of something?

This is not my thing.
You want, Lieutenant.

Now the Japs are insisting
I live in this place.

Are you Fletcher?

Fletcher.

You think you can handle that
compressor, Lieutenant?

Stuff works
pretty well under normal pressure.

66. 83.

After 83, nobody knows.

How come you show how you, say,

knowledgeable about this gear?

Well, in civilian life,
I worked as a test,

left Detroit
and went to Florida for three years.

Well, they tested this stuff.

Good job.

Sure was.

To a pearl Harbor.

Yeah.
After that, the Navy got a select enough

piece.

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey, though,

be careful, man.

It's rough down there.

And look out for sharks. Who?

All right, guys.

Gonna

fucking blow

the. Yeah,
that stuff is sitting there like candy.

It could get to it.

Yeah. No.

All right.

You know, the rest of those great,
awfully deep

currents down there? Murder.

Well, I have to readjust all this
equipment to handle the out of depth

signal processor.

Still got it.

We will spend the rest of their thumb
fixing gear.

The make problem in morning
continued diving. Yes.

Yeah, sure.

Yes, sir.

I got a day's pay for you boys

at work. It.

Captain
Kobayashi is most pleased with teamwork

and impressed with effort.

And you.

Are also very impressed.

How do you feel it's going well.

As can be expected, you must.

Tomorrow
you and your men will recover even more.

Shiver. Hey, wait a minute.

What did you mean?

You and your men? I'm the officer here.

How? One does not determine leadership
ambitions, bases of rank and status,

but rather by a manner
in which a man carries himself.

He's just a sailor.

This has been your leader since arrival.

His most logical choice to school.

But than.

The God damned in school.

For one. Gentlemen,

I have decided to allow the priest,

the Filipino crew wishes
to invite Americans

to lechon dinner

song.

Cycle, please.

Thank you.

Why the meeting, Toto?

I was hungry.

What romantic would trust before

it's too late

I belong to the resistance

What resistance?

Filipino fighters element of

silver coins.

We need them to buy things.

How about people?

The you and free prisoners of war?

That's all fine, Toto,
but I ain't no hero.

Listen, you help us get the shipment

of fishing village in Bataan
and my people will hide.

Joe, until the war's over.

You got to be kidding.

Why don't you just ask us to fly
just up to the moon?

Mister, don't think you're safe here.

You're not.

If I don't come up with the plan

through,
the resistance will destroy the barge

and the camp.

We will sleep now.

Early morning dog.

I sleep

tonight.

You must think of fish or something
You can't threaten me like that

It is no threat

I am giving you fact

Either you help us or we all die.

Hey, cool.

You better tell us how we're going
to get that silver to the fishing village.

I mean, what do we swim underwater?

You know, some deal

might not be a bad idea.

You guys are crazy.

I'm going to find my own way to escape
to where?

Don't talk to me like that, sailor.

Now, wait a minute, my man.

You do whatever you want to
when we get out of here.

But until then, don't mess with my

mind either.

We. You mind telling me
how we're going to pull this one off?

Seems all we can do is stall.

Wait for break.

Break. Hey, we don't need a break.

We need a miracle.

You know?

You know what we need?

We need a top
marine engineer and a marine sled.

SLED.

And I. Wait a minute.

I'll just wait a minute.

With a little bit of luck

and a whole lot of ingenuity,
we can help that resistance.

Yeah.

Come on.

I thought you were strictly.

Things stand now.

Where did we help of Japanese?

But if we can figure out a way
to help that resistance

and Toto owes us a way to escape.

Right?

Right.

A marine sled. She

all better

do that. They

already

know.

All right, I got.

We have right to make you say a lesson

and comfortable as possible.

However, some of you have used this
as special treatment

and mistook our kindness for weakness.

It is therefore necessary

to set an example to avoid future

misunderstandings like

when they.

Oh, very good.

Oh, good, good, good, good. Oh.

Oh, oh.

You guys got to be kidding.

I wonder you're having problems.

You're limited.

Not for deeply diving, scientific.

Maybe

these men are marine engineers.

They may help improve the gear.

How much time

George can do?

Unbelievable. As a demolition man.

Oh, look now to America

for maybe a couple of days.

That'll give him just enough time
to fix that equipment.

It makes sense.

I will give you the time.

We will all cooperate.

The boys are going to love the camp.
Just like a country club.

With an underwater breathing device.

Are you sure
we can swim all the way over there and.

With the right parts?

I just put one together.

Boys in Washington are playing around
with an idea to glue kind of rebreather.

Rebreather? Yeah.

We improvise.

I can get the sounds of, you know,
what would you need?

Gas mask with filters and rubber
tubing and small stuff.

Nuts and bolts and stuff.

Scraps, stuff we left behind
when they took over, taking.

That's all.

Now go to school.

That's where the airbag goes.

I'm sure that'll work.

A little work.

And it's crude, but it's interesting.

But that's all fine.

George, we have one problem.

How are we going to get over there
without the Japanese missing us?

Wait a minute.

If you had all night
with the distance, mother.

No, simply a matter of preparation,

then it can be done.

Hey, we've got company.

Well, find it and assess the value.

Well, we're just making a list
of all the materials we need.

Where to find this material outside.

My God, America.

This is a things left behind.

Very interesting.

But who will find these things?

Well, Robert.

George, Leroy and Toto.

Oh, yes, of course, Harry. Right.

Very clever.

It makes us trip in mourning,

find everything.

You must have in mind.

The Japanese military, very patient
this time, must not fail

to meet the demand to survive,

must some time in with passing,

when?

What was that all about?

Well, I'd like to win.

The man says his trouble.

Toto, you said the other way.

Yes. Come on, I'll show you.

Yeah. Keep an eye out on the big

well.

Right.

What is it? Go to look around.

It turns over the cave facing
the sea just above the water waterline.

After building
they had to broke through to the cave

the way to escape
in case the camp had to be destroyed.

What's to stop us from using it?

Nothing.

There was only one place to go.

But then,

if you escape without hoping.

My people only.

Okay, to that.

George can come up with a plan.

You got a deal.

Right?

See you in the morning.

You got me, George.

Come here to the barge.

The barge, the button.

And then back all the way.

Whatever planning you can do it.

Do you think there's anything left
to salvage in the top act?

You men have no idea
what you're talking about.

There's tons of equipment
left up there. That right. You

go skills.

That's the only item
I'm worried about. Wow.

Oh, God.

Your word

I usually get panicky.

Whoa, whoa. Oh,

no, I can't use the summit.

Wow, wow, wow.

All to the undertaker.

All good job.

What?

I can turn.

Wow. Oh, yeah.

Oh, what?

I'm telling you, if it's a man

and ain't nothing but a heartbreaker

he's got one fantastic undertaker,

a young man.

Yeah, I mean,

she's way

run by.

Strangers

for not being almost.

Some time in your life.

You must got skin good.

Real good.

Why so important?

Uh, hey, George.

Oh, yeah.

Well, when they're filled
with compressed air and then attach

to the silver crates
and speeds of the surfacing of the silver

crates

and gas masks.

Oh, that's.

Standby equipment for the dove in that.

The most inventive, very pleasing to see.

So good cooperation.

Please continue without interruption.

Come back.

My assignment.

Tomorrow night.

Clyde better warrant a.

Free go tomorrow night.

With a shipment
The works My people are ready Just look

for the American flag What a marker
underwater at least to go up.

Surface

I'm under.

Immense

reply We'll be ready to

roll.

Heading under for a long time.

They're checking the mask
at lower depth and

make sure you got a good connection
into the goat skin.

Got it.

Got it. Okay.

Don't forget to bring it.

That's life. Now, what about you, Leroy?

Bring me anything.

Good Mudder.

He's heading for the waterline now.

I'm sure he knows what you're
all going to try and do.

At least we're trained in us.

And it's botched here, sailor.

Karen had right crap a little too far,
as you well know,

Fletcher, just to say to you one day, I'm
not on any side, mister.

I'm just trying to stay alive.

That's all right.

LT Working together is our only chance.

You can believe me.

When this is all over,
I'm going to personally see that you're

all court martial.

When this is all over, you can have
your court martial not get with it.

Lieutenant.

See you for breakfast, boys.

Cool.

If they're caught,
the Japs are going to kill all of

us. All

doing

your.

My name is Snyder

Grass.

So do I send his best

in China?

I completely.

I know him well.

I, you know, globetrotting.

Is great for America

and you want to express in.

I understood the call in order.

For the undergrounds in Manila
how do they get stuff in

place
tucked in a stinking baskets of seafood?

Oh, you've been fucking done before us.

The good. The bad.

They line

them.

Who gets it in Manila?

I do.

Have that

data signal in north.

A sister she has a big network in Manila.

Gives you a network to spread the stuff
anywhere you want.

The best girls you can go anyway.

Do any of them look like you?

Are there any other groups
like your Plenty.

All Good Men.

And there's my commander, Marcus.

They're the youngest fighters of them all.

It'll be great for

You know that.

You have to stop that.

No, hold on. A woman.

I'm just trying to put it in.

You're trying to tell me that

We need your help.

A small price to pay.

I am talking about charity.

Okay, you're getting ready for

Well, how are they going to be

Well, look, I'm from off work.

Oh, yeah, I

Yeah.

Oh you know

it's rage.

Come on, you

here. I

you are in. Charge until we return.

The prisoners are to remain in their huts.

What's your moment?

I got about money, though
they don't know is going to money.

It'll

water

for the Americans.

I receive urgent message from of

Japanese will find them out

I think it's true,

Kobayashi.

And you might have just left
to the mainland something.

Something blood.

Listen,
make a fresh trip to the fishing village.

Check things out, not go.

Oh, oh.

Black.

Thanks, guys. My friend. Oh, yes. Surely

you're

back to Filipinos. I

everyone restricted to hut

anyone living will be shut.

Well,
the thing to do is for me to make the trip

for Kobayashi actually gets back

because he got to know
what Noro has on his mind.

Agreed.

Like to go with you.

Okay.

Okay.

The best time.

To cook your Christmas

budget.

All right.

I see how this

boss, my tie shiny.

Glad I thought your mother.

She got a little alone.

I go scared.

Those silver coins were found in several
different places.

Arrests have been made.

Information compile

all resulting in a very clear picture

of where the silver is coming from.

A fishing village

on the coast of Bataan,

somewhere on the river is mountains.

Q China in a cool

within sight of your barge?

Captain Kobayashi

I do not understand, sir.

How could it have been?

Galia, get silver to village.

I'm not certain if it's anything real.

What a man.

But I intend to find out.

I personally interrogate
all Americans in Okinawa.

The fishing village involved
will be raided.

Prisoners will be taken.

Something wrong, Mr.

Elder?

No, sir.

Good gentlemen.

Royalty to the emperor

is not simply a military court of ethics,

but a matter of pride in country
and heritage.

I hope we understand each other

custom.

You must come with
us to the Virgin. To come

to silver

must be
something that can't be eliminated.

It's going to take a lot of explosives,
but they has to start in a cave.

And on his side of the camp

here,

there's enough here
to blow up the barracks.

So you have enough where he left him that.

Oh, no, don't fail.

Don't worry.

If you get back, then I keep the place.

You will be safe.

Thank you.

All right, we're all set.

We blow the barge

and the camp with what?

Toto has got the stuff.

So go get Toto and bring him over here
right.

You know, I'm.

Trying to pull this thing off.

Might be during the interrogation.

Good idea.

Do interrogation for interrogation.

Damn you.

I'm not going to stand for this. You

one thing.

The mess up this operation

Q you.

Inform the Americans of the interrogation.

Please advise them to cooperate.

I didn't.

But come on. Connections of both sides.

And those charges laid
against the Japanese hot lead into a box.

Now, the main cable of the box
is your hotline,

and you can connect a helmet on any point
on that hotline and bomb

the camp explosives is what it looks like.

Okay. Filipino side. American side.

Japanese headquarters
Wired charges, terminal box hotline.

It's your Yamada.

Get the stuff in the cave, please.

So, son, but

the Japanese intelligence
have all the facts.

There will be interrogation,
Colonel Cushman,

very clever man.

Also very dangerous

advice.

Speak truth.

There is little time to fully detail,
but you must know that

to repay you for saving my life

has cost me my honor.

Yes. Not as a soldier,

which I am not,

but as a Japanese,

which I am.

For this.

I must pay for.

Your basic instinct

for self-preservation

in one day

burst into self-destruction.

You mean I'm going to blow up?

You put it crudely, but.

Well, you

give us away.

The life of me, dear.

I don't know. You.

You should take money.

Where? Human, I never do nothing.

There is no silver.

I should worry about Why don't.

You knock on the wall?

You wait, I'll show you Silver here

go. Oh, I say to set.

This you in.

A long life I've got a complete.

Double check the plunger

Come on, we have

you. And

I think I

ought to clap for

well, both to the hotline.

Who's going to connect this?

I think the hat fits our lieutenant.

Don't take offense, Lieutenant.

We are going to play it by ear.

Whoever's closest to it.

Just remember,
the winner takes the chessboard home.

Then you say college boy, all Americans

and Filipinos. 138.

And come on so square.

Doesn't

know that a man.

With this is here.

Allow me to introduce myself.

For customer

care.

No intelligence.

So, you know.

Why I am here.

An interrogation will now begin.

The other day.

I. You're.

You're, you're.

How did that?

I I'm not a man of many words

so straight to the point

by order of importance.

How are you able
to transfer all that silver

who are involved?

What?

The contacts among my people

gave you assistance

Risk Corporation.

Also ask Mr.

Yamada to join us.

In the

I don't know, Tokyo.

Tokyo.

I saw the Americans in solidarity.

People

have tonight.

It is all I've only got.

Half a. Day.

Who are unsuitable for this tragedy.

Or must they have you or killed

this?

You can't do this to my men.

We're prisoners of war
entitled to the Geneva Convention.

And I'm Democratic.

I didn't know. Do

I? Democratic? I.

It seems Mr.

Yamamoto's death confirms my suspicion.

Agrees to understand.

I must have the truth.

If you do not cooperate,

I will send again to Fort Santiago.

I assure you she will not survive

the interrogation.

Okay, listen.

So take that gear and go that far
as fast as you can.

But close.

You blow that barge fast enough.

That might give Clyde
and the rest enough time to make a break.

Now get moving. I'm Stan.

I'm going to take my chances with Clyde.

So the barge connection is at the hall.

You've got that. Let's get going, boys.
Good luck.

Come on, hustle

your.

Why you, man.

Somebody's got to help with a plunger.

I think.

You know

about.

Your sirens.

Oh, had

mission of your good.

Hey, look. Yes.

You don't get them.

Do not the girl the girls. Are.

Out here.

Do not do.

Here's the reason, America.

What are you. Doing? Foolish.

You have no way out of it, you.

Action it is not right.

It is not to my desire.

To kill me

Hey, tell you show

me coming in

That's all it

Explosion

I had

right, commander?

What are you able.

Please

freeze

to consider

before committing acts of no value

we must just talk

talk and come to her You.

Burn I'm not standing.

Living for

the future is a much better than dying

No, for nothing

Who will cry for you in America

will cry for you.

In a movie I'll.

Fight you ever trouble

unfamiliar places

away from home

Surrounded by strangers face they.

More.

Than you oh saw

some time in no life.

You must.

Use the

European.

Slang that I can remember We.

Did so nice to find you

like you did

get back to.

London.

You answer my head.

I can't remember when.

But it's so nice to find

my last

flashback.

I'd like to.

Was born

in my room.

There was 0000.

I saw her

like you've been there for

once. Oh,

yes. Oh, oh.
