They go back to save her but the jeep is blow up by Tetsuya. All of them are sentence to death for going against Japanese. Lowell bluff Cindy they are freed. Tetsuya want Lowell to read out a decree and sentence them to death.

He did the opposite. The minister oppose and have him sentence to death as well. Cindy try to stop and also caught. Her father is killed. The villagers chat Lowell name and free them. They defend their village against Tetsuya army.
