5. Eddie's Birthday (2001)
On his 78th birthday, Eddie is giving himself his traditional birthday shave, when his jaw begins to ache. He finds himself thinking back to his final year in Changi, when his wisdom tooth became infected, and he unwillingly attracted the attention of the violent and malicious Captain Shindo.
