What you 14 00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:07.760 have just heard is the question asked during the war 15 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.239 to agents of the OSS ordinary citizens who to this 16 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:12.840 question answered yes. 17 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:15.439 This is. 18 00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:38.640 Clock and Dagger. Black warfare, espionage, international intrigue. These are 19 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:43.000 the weapons of the OSS. Today's adventure, the Cutchin story 20 00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.480 tells of an agent an American agent dropped behind Japanese 21 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:50.280 lines in Burma, a story suggested by actual incidents recorded 22 00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.359 in the Washington files of the Office of Strategic Services, 23 00:01:53.879 --> 00:02:08.479 a story that can now be told. The sky hangs 24 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:11.639 low over Burner in nineteen forty four. It was more 25 00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:13.919 than just the smoke and dust haze that blankets in 26 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.680 the dry season. It was the tension in the air 27 00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:18.960 that weighed the clouds down so that they almost seemed 28 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.000 to be pressing against the wings of our plane. 29 00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.599 You gotta reach your objective in a few minutes, Mike good, 30 00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:27.360 I'll tell you when to hit the cell. 31 00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:33.520 You got everything, yep, Radio spies, I'm all set. Why 32 00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.879 that's thick jungle down there, thick with Jeff, That's what 33 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.919 I mean. I looked down on the towering jungle colored 34 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.960 mountains of North Burma. I thought of the small band 35 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.120 of Cutching natives who are waiting to meet. I thought 36 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:49.840 about how pitifully outnumbered they were behind the enemy lines. 37 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.879 Now they hated the Japs. And then, all of a sudden, 38 00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:58.719 I didn't have time to think anymore. Lousy jet fighter, 39 00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.439 what cloud did he crawl? Too late to run? We're 40 00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:01.800 in for it. 41 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:03.599 Sorry, you're gonna be late for your appointment. 42 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.080 Brother. What I could do with a tail gunner? 43 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:10.319 Now? 44 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:11.800 Hold out of your stomach. 45 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:13.599 Mic, We're gonna see if I can loop and get 46 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:18.639 behind him. 47 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:19.919 Hi, he's stilling a tail. 48 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:21.639 Yeah, he looked right behind me. 49 00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:30.960 He hit or rented. I'm quiet lousy, I swirt. You 50 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:35.319 caught him? How better we hit? We all making better? 51 00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:36.319 Try to belly laugh? 52 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:42.360 Can we jump? Hold off for that? Hold on, watch 53 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.719 those trees. I can't pull her up, bike, I. 54 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:47.199 Can't, I can't. 55 00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.840 I was thrown from the plane when we crashed. I 56 00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:00.719 got off with nothing more than a that was bleeding 57 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.719 pretty bad. When I crawled back to the wreck, I 58 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:18.279 found a pilot. He wasn't so lucky. I started to run. 59 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:20.279 I didn't know where I was going, but I started 60 00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:22.639 to run anyway through the bamboo thickets. My leg was 61 00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.639 throbbing with pain, and I tripped. The pistol dropped out 62 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:27.600 of my hoster and disappeared into the high grass. I 63 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.000 didn't have time to look for it, somewhere to the 64 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.120 north with the Cutchins. I had to get to them. 65 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.879 This was headhunter country in those days. Japs paid high 66 00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:49.519 prices for American scalps. After a while, my breath came up. 67 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.480 I couldn't go any for them. My imagination put japs 68 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.720 in headhunters behind every tree. I told myself I had 69 00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.000 to stop. I told myself I didn't have enough wind 70 00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.839 to take another step. I changed my mind when behind 71 00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:03.040 me I heard a twig snap. There was someone followed, 72 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:07.680 a quiet, stealthy someone, and padded cat's feet. I kept 73 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:11.279 up running into the river. I didn't bother and looked 74 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:15.240 first for crocodiles. A numbness from my bad legs spread 75 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.720 all over me. I could hardly swim. All I wanted 76 00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:20.600 to do was get away from that shadow behind me. 77 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:23.839 When I reached the opposite shore, I climbed on. It 78 00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:34.720 was sending part safe, safe, And then I looked back. 79 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.920 I saw the tireless shadow emerge from the bushes and 80 00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.480 flipped silently across the river on a fallen tree truck. 81 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.959 My lungs were ready to burst. I pulled myself up 82 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:50.839 again and hull over some roots and waited, waited for 83 00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:53.639 that shadow to catch up with me. I just laid 84 00:05:53.639 --> 00:06:04.560 there and waited. Okay, okay, you win. Where do we 85 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:10.079 go from here? I'll say something. I'll just stand there. 86 00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:13.720 I probably won't be able to understand you, but say 87 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:20.680 something anyway. I half to make of warrior just stood 88 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:24.319 there staring at me, saying nothing. I hadn't given anything 89 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.920 to have having a gun back again, and all of 90 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:31.199 a sudden I did. He just reached down and handed 91 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:37.560 it to me. Hey, I I don't get it. What's that? 92 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:44.680 What's that cad? You hold? Follow this guide? He will 93 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:46.680 lead you to safety. 94 00:06:47.240 --> 00:07:06.600 Well, well, now you're talking, sure, And you couldn't look 95 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:10.360 more surprised, Captain, than if the tall grass potted and 96 00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.639 you came on a field of fall leaf clovers. I 97 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.279 feel that my father, like you, turned over a stone 98 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:18.199 and there we were. 99 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.639 What's about it? I thought that night of following him 100 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:23.759 it was a head hunter. I know they'd turned any 101 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.519 American over. The Japs were a two pound bag of salt. 102 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.519 Hey, you're right there on the holy savages that they are. 103 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.279 We saw your plane fall, and I sent you here 104 00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:36.720 after you with that message written on the card. 105 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:39.839 He's the fastest runner in the Kutchin village. 106 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:45.920 I'm sorry he puts such's care into you. Oh forgive me, Captain, 107 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.040 say did I pull the bandage too tightly? 108 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.160 Then? No, No, that's okay. I don't want it too much. 109 00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:53.839 When I think it would have happened to the pilot. 110 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:58.879 I was lucky. Yes, it was a pitchy about the 111 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:05.439 pilots Ying. This is if you don't mind. Thank you. 112 00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:12.759 There now almost don't now. Then we'll go out and 113 00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:15.720 you will meet the villages. The women have prepared a 114 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:20.480 special banquet for you, and that's very nice in them. 115 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.839 Have you been a missionary here in Burma? Long father? 116 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:27.959 For almost twelve years now? I hardly remember any other life. 117 00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.440 These good natives have all become sons and daughters to me. 118 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:39.279 We've taught each other. I speak their language. They all 119 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:44.440 speak English. Now I do as well as I almost. 120 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.759 Then I have a question, father, Yes I'll come. Ying 121 00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:50.720 over there took ten years off my life, chased me 122 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:56.279 through the jungle. Why didn't he say something? Well, Ying 123 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.360 didn't speak to your captain Shay because he wasn't able to. 124 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.840 He was a prisoner of the Japanese some time ago. 125 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:12.000 They cut out his tongue, that other all of bandage.

The 178 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:44.679 Cutching Warriors aren't imposing figures.
