Eddie and his comrades grab the Filipino soldiers' weapons and kill them. Once the Americans escape, they find themselves in an empty village. They realize that the army barracks were likely evacuated long ago leaving the four hapless Filipino soldiers alone to guard the American captives. The Captain orders his remaining men, including Eddie, to burn the mine and the village to the ground.
