If we can make it that far.
Look, the runway's over 6,000 feet, but we're gonna need at least 10 if we got no brakes.
[ Man ] God created two great lights--
the greater light to rule over the day...
and the lesser light...
to rule over the night.
Now, these things-- light and dark,
day and night--
are separated from each other.
God created each in its place.
- He did not create a battle between them. - [ Speaking Italian ]
He said, "I have created both of these things.
You must live through the night.
Don't battle with it."
[ Speaking Italian ]
For God said, "The night also is mine."
He sent his son, Jesus, not to do battle,
not to wage war on the sins of man,
but to forgive them.
Forgive the sin.
Smile on the sinner.
Accept the darkness.
Live through the night.
Love thine enemy.

[ Announcer ] And already three sections of runners have formed,
with America's Don Lash and the Finnish Salminen and Höckert ahead of the pack--
the Finns always the favorite in this long-haul event.
In the second group is America's Louie Zamperini.
[ Crowd Cheering ] [ Panting ]
The Finns-- Höckert, Lehtinen, and Salminen--
have set the pace, and they are not letting up.
- And Zamperini is fading too, dropping further back. - [ Speaks Italian ]

Come on, Louie.

The Finns seem to be in control. [ Bell Ringing ]
It doesn't look like Don Lash is gonna bring home the medal for the USA.
There-- There seems to be some movement back in the pack.
Yes, that's Zamperini, overtaking Norway's Rolf Hansen.
[ Speaks Italian ]
He seems to have some gas in reserve. He really is making up some time.
Höckert and Lehtinen will be one and two.
But look at that Zamperini! [ Laughing ]
- He's got Don Lash in his sights. - [ Speaking Italian ]
Well, the great Don Lash is not gonna be the first American, folks.
It's high school kid Zamperini,
- pushing past the record- breakers on this field. - [ Laughing ]
I have not seen that! I havenot seen that!

Hmm. Twenty-four days.

Why are we here now?

You go on living the best you can.
You try to have some fun along the way.
And then one day it's over.
You wake up, and there's an angel...
sitting at the edge of your bed.
Angel says,
"Okay.
You can ask me all those dumb questions now,
'cause I got all the answers."

You are? I'm Tinker.

I see you met the Bird.
Why do you call him "the Bird"?
Because he listens, and if he heard the name we'd like to call him,
he'd kill us.
Apparently, he grew up wealthy. Wanted to be an officer.
Expected to be too. Was denied.
Which obviously hasn't gone down too well.
Of course, none of this explains his erratic behavior.

Louie Zamperini is not missing and not dead,

He's safe and sound with us.
So keep listening, Mrs. Zamperini,

Hello, Mother and Father, sisters and friends.
This is your Louie talking.
And the first time in two years that you will have heard my voice.
I am uninjured and in good health.
I am now interned in a Tokyo prisoner of war camp...
and being treated as well as can be expected under wartime conditions.
I hope Pete is still able to pay you his weekly visits from San Diego.
Dad, keep my guns in good condition...

You couldn't catch the eye of a prince if it fell in your lap.
Come, Cinders. Fix my hair.
Fix my dress! Fix my hair!
- Dress! - Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair!
Speaking Kraut now? [ Laughing ]
You guys make me do all these stupid, impossible things...
with no food and no rest.
And you lock me up in a rabbit hut.
I've had enough!
I have good news.
I have had a promotion.
That's the good news.
The bad news--
I say good-bye to my friends.
[ Men Laughing, Applauding ]
I leave Omori tomorrow.
[ Actors Chattering Continues ]
You can do anything!
[ Cheering, Whistling ]
Do not fear, child.
I am your fairy godmother.
You may congratulate me.
Hmm?
[ Rhythmic Clapping ]
And there he goes,
just like that.
I have got four kings.
There you go.
The baron's been beaten, Tinker. Oh, yeah?

Where we going? Send up the buckets.
Oh, we're helping the Japs now?
Might as well let it burn.
Let's go.
[ Explosions In Distance ]
[ Tinker ] B-29s, boys.
Won't be long now. I wouldn't get too excited.
If the Allies win,
the Japs issue kill-all orders.
I overheard them.
We win, we're dead.
[ Tinker ] What are we supposed to be praying for?
[ Bomb Whistling ] Down! Get down!
Grab your gear. They're moving us out.
To where? I don't know.
Some new camp.
Tokyo Ritz. Someplace the Allies can't find us.

This is Naoetsu Prison Camp.
I am Sergeant Watanabe,
your commanding officer.
You are enemies of Japan.
You will be treated... accordingly.
You will help the Japanese...
by working on the coal barges.
Anyone who will not work...
will be executed.
Why don't you look me in the eye?
You boys can sleep here.
You two, over there.
This is the end, mates.
No one knows you're here.
It's best that you just resign to your fate.
[ Screams ]

Come on, boyo.
Come on, Louie.

[ Translating ] Prisoners of Naoetsu,
the war has come to a point of cessation.
[ Japanese Continues ]
Today, in the spirit...
of the new future of our great nation,
we invite all prisoners...
to bathe in the Hokura River.
- [ Japanese ] - [ Shouts In Japanese ]
This is it.
We're dead.
[ Japanese ]
Let's go.
[ Plane Engine Approaching ]
It's our boys! It's our boys!
They've seen us! It's over!
The war's over!
[ Cheering ]
It's over!

Here you go.
There you go.

You made it.
Oh, God, look at you.
[ Laughing ]
Cara mamma mia.

* To reflect in puddles in the dirt *
* When I look in your eyes *
* I forget all about what hurts *
* Oh, now I'm floating so high *
* I blossom and die *
* Send your storm and your lightning *
* To strike me between the eyes *
* And cry *
* Believe in miracles *
* Oh, hey, I'm floating *
* Above the world now *
* Oh, hey, I'm floating *
* Above the world now *
