WHat is the name of the person who becomes a hindrance to the patrol?
During the Japanese invasion of Burma in 1942, a seven-strong British sonic warfare (sonic deception) patrol takes refuge in a dilapidated hut at an abandoned tin mine in the Burmese jungle. Tension rises as they lose radio contact with their command force and learn that that they are cut off from their lines, having stumbled behind an advancing Japanese line. The plot thickens when a lone Japanese scout stumbles across the hut, and his fate becomes the squad's second dilemma. Johnstone grabs the soldier and tells Taff to kill the man with his bayonet. Taff is appalled as he views the soldier as a prisoner of war. Sergeant Mitchem, the man in command of the patrol, commands Johnstone to tie up the prisoner and instructs the group that they need to take the prisoner back to headquarters for interrogation. The men argue about the prisoner's destiny and tempers flare. 
Mitchem places Bamforth in charge of the prisoner, which Bamford quickly gives the nickname Tojo. Through broken English the gruff Bamforth comes to realise that Tojo is just a soldier like himself. Johnstone keeps himself at a distance from Tojo and constantly portrays himself as a professional soldier born to fight and serve. Mitchem sends Macleish and Smudge to reconnoiter the area to see if there are any Japanese nearby. The two men encounter a small patrol and see it send to 2 soldiers to find Tojo. Knowing, this puts their patrol in danger, they trail the soldiers with a view to ambushing them. Mac manages to kill one of the men but Smudge is less successful and the remaining soldier escapes. They return to base to warn Mitchem and the patrol. Mitchem is now left facing a fresh dilemma, one which Johnstone spots immediately, he knows that Tojo no longer has any useful information and would be a hindrance to the patrol as they need to move fast. Johnstone steps forward to volunteer to kill Tojo but Mitchem accepts the responsibility himself.
