PART 2
I feel wonderful!
We arrived in a whirl of dust, but it's so nice today.
Worried about work? - No.
Just wondering why I didn't do this before.
- Really? - I mean it.
I'll phone Yasuko first thing and tell her to take the day off.
Would you mind?
And then what?
We'll have lunch together and then go to the apple orchard.
It's so wonderful! I feel as light as a balloon!
Allow me just one thing.
What?
Let me go for just one hour?
What for?
With our increased production, I'd like to talk to the main office
about treating the special laborers like the ordinary laborers.
Just one hour?
- The rest of my time is all yours. - All right.
I'll give you two hours, but not a minute more.
Mr. Kaji!
- They broke out again. - What?
Where's Okishima? - At their camp.
All right. I'll be right there.
I don't want you to go.
I have no choice.
You go have a good time with Yasuko.
Yasuko isn't you.
- But this is my job... - I don't care!
You're officially on vacation. They can't make you go back.
Leave it to Okishima. I'll wait till after lunch, okay?
I'll never finish by then.
You just don't want to go.
Don't be foolish!
Your work's important,
but don't you see how important this is for us?
I'll make up for it next time.
You needn't bother!
Why so angry over such a small thing?
Such a small thing?
You don't seem to care how I feel.
At any rate, I can't just leave now.
I see.
Then I'll go on alone.
Stop it!
From now on, I do things my way!
- And ruin everything? - They'll understand my fist!
Hitting them won't bring back the others!
Do you realize how many got away?
Eighteen men, led by Hwang and Sung!
Still think words will help?
- I'll assume all responsibility. - You fool!
If you don't like my methods, you can quit.
You won't be dragged before the Kenpeitai.
Fine!
Wang!
Stand up!
I've given up on all of you. You said you'd wait.
You might think I'm a fool, but even a fool has limits!
Another escape and you'll all go without food for three days.
I'll turn your men against you and break your authority in this camp!
You Japanese are all the same!
Fine!
Then I'll act accordingly. All promises are hereby retracted.
Now I realize there can be no trust between us.
Mr. Okishima!
How will you report this to the Kenpeitai?
They won't let us off easy this time.
- I won't report the incident. - What?
If it leaks out, I'll assume all responsibility.
I don't think it was all your responsibility.
You think someone shut off the power?
I couldn't say.
Shall I put only Japanese on night duty there?
You can't do that without evidence.
Shall I increase the night watch around the fence?
I'd have to check that they're at their posts.
Eighteen men... that's a big loss!
I've achieved the 20% increase in production.
I don't want trouble now over something like this.
I forgot: Okishima is hereby relieved
of all responsibility for the special prisoners.
I don't know!
Damned Chinaman!
Son of a bitch!
Tell me!
Who paid you?
Okishima favors drastic measures, but Kaji always stops him.
Meaning he gives tacit consent to the runaways?
I wouldn't say that,
but it does all seem rather suspicious.
There is one way to teach them a lesson.
How?
We let them plan another break and then foil them.
With your permission, I'd like to try.
Sounds intriguing.
I'll try anything that brings results.
Give it a try.
Boss's orders.
We're distributing flour and oil. Only to the Japanese, of course.
I'm sure you don't approve.
I do not.
Unfortunately, you're not the manager.
I'm sure you're happy I'm not.
Mr. Kaji, it's Mr. Okishima!
Filthy scum!
Son of a bitch!
Kill the rat!
Let him have it!
Mr. Okishima, let us handle that Korean dog!
Stay out of this! Filthy dog!
Swipe men from under my nose, eh?
Bastard!
Not stopping me today?
You want me to?
Don't look so disapproving.
Should I go easy on the regular workers too?
Your clumsy humanism kills good men and lets scoundrels run wild.
Chen, take him to the medical ward.
Do no such thing! His boss will pick him up.
Take him!
Go call Furuya.
Don't worry, young one. I won't talk.
Chen, it seems I know more about you than you do about me.
Go back and tell Kaji his wounds aren't serious.
It's better if Kaji doesn't come around here.
Well? How is he?
He seems all right.
Mr. Furuya is with him.
Furuya?
Furuya, send a telegram to Muta.
That rat Okishima!
He says he's going to sue Okishima.
Help him arrange it. You two seem friendly enough.
Don't bother explaining! Think I'm that stupid?
Was it the money? Or just to make trouble for me?
Don't worry. I won't tell the boss.
See that your buddy is hospitalized.
But you're paying for him... not Labor!
You probably made plenty.
Where you been hidin'?
What's wrong with you?
Drunk, I see.
Think I got drunk and came to make trouble?
I had a drink with the boss, but I'm not drunk.
I have some hot news.
They're issuing commendations for the increased production.
Okazaki will surely be included.
I told the boss you were the only one in Labor
who deserved a commendation.
The boss felt the same way,
but he feared that this old-timer might feel slighted.
You don't think I'd feel slighted, do you?
Why have you suddenly turned to brute force?
The boss asked the same thing.
I was born a brute... good enough?
How long do you plan to keep on like this?
Meaning what?
Straddling a fundamental contradiction and trying to justify it.
I'm out of breath.
If I'm being a nuisance, just say so and I'll back off.
Kao!
Chun Lan!
I was afraid you might have escaped.
That's all I could buy today.
Thank you.
Thank you!
We can't meet for the time being.
We can't come here.
If you run off by yourself...
I'll kill myself.
I'll take you with me when I escape.
When?
After I learn how the others have fared.
I can't take any chances if I take you along.
Stay here.
They might let us marry.
Don't believe them!
Wang says the war will end soon.
Japan will be defeated.
Now that I have you...
I'm willing to bear anything.
Kao!
I wish we could meet like this every night.
But if they start suspecting us...
then it's all over.
This cursed wire!
Careful!
Why do the gods torment us like this?
Chun Lan...
I love you!
And I love you!
Can't you sleep?
Kaji would have been happier married to a girl like you.
You're too much the wife, Michi.
You're forgetting to be a woman.
What do you mean?
Being a wife is a kind of profession,
but it's the woman that men love.
When you typed Kaji's reports, you studied them like one possessed.
I never understood a word.
And now? Do you ask him about his work?
He doesn't like me asking questions.
If I were you, I'd pester him until he told me everything.
Then I'd ask even more questions.
What's wrong? Did I go too far?
I'm sorry about yesterday.
I failed as a wife and as a woman.
I couldn't sleep.
This is your home.
You can sleep soundly here.
Promise you'll share both your joys and sorrows with me.
Sorrow for one is enough.
It's not!
I'm walking down the same path you are.
It's okay if I lose my way.
Just tell me we might get lost and take me along.
I'll follow you...
and do my best to keep up.
I understand.
If I don't walk fast enough,
will you wait just a tiny bit for me?
Just a very tiny bit?
Of course.
I'll never ask you the same question twice.
"Through fitting leadership in the pit,
you have helped achieve a 20% increase in ore production.
At this hour of dire national emergency,
you've rendered a valuable service to our armed forces
and set a fitting example for other employees.
You are hereby officially commended.
September 23, 1943.
Chairman of the board Jushiro Kitada.
Read in proxy by Junichi Kuroki."
Looks like we'll have rain.
Rainy nights are ideal for escape attempts.
When you deliver their dinner,
tell them arrangements have been made. They can break out tonight.
Tonight?
Then go to the power station
and tell them Kaji says to cut the power.
But Mr. Kaji would never...
I'm acting under direct orders from the boss.
You want me to tell the Kenpeitai about you?
About how you and Jin Tung Fu aided the plotters,
and how Kaji knew but pretended not to see?
It's the only way to save your neck.
As ships at sea part the great white waves
So do I part my loved one's thighs
Mr. Kaji, I look forward to your continued favor.
You're young, but you're quite a fellow!
No, a great fellow!
The day you arrived it was snowing...
No, it was windy.
Really? Windy?
That day I thought
a young squirt like you could never handle this mine.
But things really did work out as you said.
You're really something!
But Mr. Kaji...
I've been watching.
You haven't been drinking.
Give me a hand?
If you want to try, tonight is your last chance.
Why the sudden rush?
If the timing's no good, just forget it.
But my friend's being moved to the day shift tomorrow.
You sure about this?
On behalf of the men in the pit
and in the spirit of friendship,
I challenge Mr. Kaji to a friendly drinking bout.
Hear! Hear!
I concede defeat.
No, you can't!
We haven't even started yet!
No, I really do.
Mr. Kaji...
do you only show spirit when you're snarling at me?
Come on. Be a man!
All right! I'm ready!
Use this.
Get drunk and let down your guard for once.
That's right!
Okay, let's begin.
Show 'em, Mr. Kaji!
- That's the way! - More!
Those boys in Labor are used to being wined and dined by the bosses.
They get the women too!
They run the whorehouse and have their pick.
So we're wined and dined, eh?
And the whores are ours for the taking?
Fine! Bring on your wine and women! I'll take 'em on!
Chen.
All done delivering their meals?
This is a special ration ticket for Japanese only.
You're welcome to mine.
- But your wife... - She's given up hope.
Mr. Kaji.
No, nothing.
I just wanted to say thank you.
It's me who should thank you.
I was afraid you wouldn't accept it now.
There's a nice ass!
Hey, lady-killer!
Tops in Japan!
Back off! Still in heat at your age?
What if I am?
Go sow your seed in your own rice paddies!
I wouldn't act so big, Okishima.
If you and Kaji would mind your own business,
I could have topped our production goal long ago.
And you'd have 10 murders on your record now.
You'd be having dinner in jail!
Bastard!
If you want trouble, come on.
Chen, what's the matter?
What should I do?
I won't be able to see you again.
I've fallen into a trap!
Go to the station and have him cut off the power.
If I do that...
and the men are captured...
they'll kill me!
This is a Japanese plot.
No matter what happens, you won't be killed.
You speak as if this didn't concern you.
If I'm caught, I might confess everything.
Don't threaten me.
You dragged me into this!
- Where are you going? - To warn them.
You'll never get word to them.
I can try.
Wait! I have a better idea.
Chun Lan.
Kao is breaking out tonight.
Kao is breaking out?
Go tell him it's too dangerous.
I won't let him escape alone!
Drink. It'll relax you.
I couldn't contact him. Are you sure he plans to escape?
You met no one?
With this downpour, I couldn't see a thing.
Not a soul?
Is he really breaking out?
What'll we do now?
If he runs off by himself...
I'll kill myself!
The power must be cut off! We mustn't anger the Japanese.
What should we do?
The best way is to confess the whole thing to Mr. Kaji.
No! He's the worst of them all!
Where are you going?
Go to the power station!
You little punk!
I expected as much.
Did you do as I told you?
Yes.
You didn't mention the matter to Kaji, did you?
No.
We'll find out in a moment...
whether you did as ordered.
If you betrayed us, it's a bullet in your head.
We'll report that we caught you helping the men escape.
It'll even mean a reward.
They're coming!
Mr. Furuya.
The power... I didn't...
What?
Son of a bitch!
Bastard! You want to die?
I never dreamt that Chen might plot something like this.
I've been blind.
Furuya!
Blind because I never thought you capable of such a diabolical plot!
Go brag to the boss of your brave deed!
Wang!
You're not always right either.
Your failed leadership caused this.
You refused to trust us.
The result is charred human flesh. It serves you right!
Kao!
Why did you do it?
It was so foolish!
Kao!
You're alive!
Chun Lan!
Look at the man whose mistake killed his own friends!
Okishima came to tell me about it.
Why didn't Chen come to me?
He was probably afraid to.
Because I hit him?
Okishima told me
you'd take it really hard.
It's not my fault that I'm Japanese...
yet it's my worst crime that I am!
Chen was kind to you even though I struck him.
He understood how I felt.
Yet look what happened.
That son a bitch Furuya!
The boss put him up to this.
They'll never meddle in Labor affairs again!
Let's go home.
Some nice hot soup will help you feel better.
Yes, let's.
Let's go home.
I wish you'd ask the main office about getting the Kenpeitai
to let us treat these prisoners like ordinary laborers.
But I know I asked you to stay out of my affairs.
Don't worry. I'll do it.
My trip will cool us both off. It'll be my present to you.
Seems the boss considers Okazaki more indispensable than me.
I'm boarding this run-down truck,
but you're trying to catch the train of humanism before it's too late.
I won't stop you.
You seem willing to pay the fare, no matter how high.
Am I making trouble by coming here?
I already offered my apologies.
Leave us alone.
From now on, we'll have to escape from the work areas.
Wang wants us to lie low for a while.
And there's been no news from the others.
What's going on here?
Run!
Bastards! You dare resist?
Get back here!
Come back!
Escape attempt!
How about it?
They're offering us 500 more prisoners.
We lack accommodations.
Accommodations?
Don't you mean supervision?
We just caught seven prisoners trying to escape!
You caught them? Good work!
- Did they resist? - The bastards almost got away.
- From the pit? - The ore dump.
That's strange.
You were eating Chinese food here. How would you know?
How could they escape in broad daylight?
Look at this. Only desperate men would throw ore at me.
That makes it a break?
I'm not the only witness. It took 15 men to capture them.
Inside the compound? Running inside the compound is a break?
- Why do you defend the chinks? - I'll investigate this.
You needn't bother!
- Where are they? - The guard house.
Good.
Captain, what are your instructions?
Well, let's see.
Shall we try the method you've been suggesting?
He's a master swordsman.
How many men did you slay in China?
Wait! How can you be sure it was a break?
Silence! We have a witness. Any more objections?
Yes! An impassioned witness can't be trusted.
All those men want to escape. Would you execute them all?
- Why you... - Enough!
Whether it was or wasn't an escape attempt isn't the point.
All that matters is that we say it was!
Arguments will not be tolerated. Sergeant!
They're to be executed tomorrow. You decide how.
They will be executed tomorrow, sir!
I assume you approve.
You shall officially witness the execution!
You'll save seven men's lives
if you testify they weren't trying to escape.
They were trying to escape. They ran.
They should have stayed and taken their beating.
What's going to happen to us?
If injuring Okazaki was a crime, why not just investigate me?
Listen to me.
You're all guilty of attempted escape.
- Lies! - You're wronging the innocent!
Quiet!
Dog!
An investigation will reveal the truth.
Investigate it!
Immediately!
The investigation is over.
But I don't believe you tried to escape.
You're turning us over to the Kenpeitai?
I don't intend to.
But you never had faith in me before.
Perhaps it's best to doubt me now as well.
Those men have all the power!
I have none!
I'll do everything I can until tomorrow evening.
Sir, if you ask them, the Kenpeitai will listen to reason.
This is an object lesson, Kaji.
Personally I don't approve,
but the head office says to leave it to the Kenpeitai.
Why?
Must there be a reason?
Please wait! You're about to chop off men's heads!
If the company protested strongly...
This is wartime. Peacetime reasoning doesn't apply.
That's no reason!
You may not think so, but I do. You're wasting your breath.
If you're not satisfied, speak to the head office.
I will!
There's no answer. He's in a conference.
Shouting like a madman!
Hello? One moment, please.
Someone else will take your call.
Okishima? We're in real trouble.
You've heard?
Hello? Hello?
I can't hear you!
Speak louder!
I can't hear you at all.
What's that?
Give up?
That's ridiculous!
Okishima, please talk to them again.
Please try again. I'll be waiting.
I'll be honest. There's only one chance in a hundred.
This does not concern us alone.
Just as my companions stand between life and death,
so do you now stand at an important crossroads.
You're right.
If you fail now, no one will ever trust you again,
and you too will lose faith in yourself.
It's true.
Yet you would do nothing?
What can I do?
Must a man outside this barbed wire ask me such a question?
Not all the Japanese working here are murderous devils.
Their combined opinion objecting to this execution
will be more effective than one individual alone.
If I'd always acted as you wanted me to,
there'd be no Kaji here today.
I'd like to see what you'd do in my position.
You and I will both make minor mistakes.
Such things can be forgiven.
But an error made at a crucial moment is an unforgivable crime.
Your life has been a series of errors
stemming from the conflict between your work and yourself.
Such errors can possibly be corrected.
But this one cannot.
Meaning?
You'll either be revealed as a murderer wearing the mask of humanism
or as one worthy of the beautiful name..."man."
I know that.
You have less faith in man than you try to believe.
Regardless of how you might feel,
true men will always find kindred spirits!
What will happen to Kao?
I wish I knew myself.
When will you release him?
You won't kill Kao, will you?
You won't, will you?
Hello? Okishima? What's the decision?
Calm down and listen.
The manager is no help, the old fool.
Wait until morning. I'll talk to the chairman.
The chairman?
Yes, the chairman! I'll make him listen to me.
Please go away.
I want to be alone.
Mr. Kaji!
Please save him!
Save him!
He wouldn't try to escape!
We planned to be married after the war ended.
You won't kill him, will you? You're a good man.
You won't kill him, will you?
Go to sleep and stop worrying.
I won't do anything.
There's nothing I can do.
Can I really set my mind at ease?
Really?
Go to sleep and don't worry.
I'll try to sleep too.
Where are you going?
To free those men.
You can't! Think what might happen to you!
I don't care!
You did everything you could.
Don't you care what happens to you?
Well, I do!
Michiko, don't torment me!
I'll call for help! I won't let you do it.
You always go your own way, and perhaps you're right.
But if you free those men, they'll kill you for sure!
Please don't go!
I'll follow you! I'll shout for help!
Michiko, if I don't, I'm no longer a human being!
How can you ignore me like some stray dog?
Even you don't want to give up this life, do you?
Remember: You promised!
I'm sorry.
Go and do as you see fit.
Perhaps it's me who's wrong.
I can't have you feeling I stood in your way.
I don't want you hating me, not loving me anymore.
There's no hope for me!
- All ready! - Good work.
Spare us!
It's best to wet the blade. Keeps off the fat.
Kaji!
Stay right there.
Thanks for being my witness.
Get up!
On your knees!
Kaji...
you can tell them all later:
If they want to die, they can run all they like.
Next!
Spare me!
Want to try?
Next!
I don't want it!
I demand an explanation!
Why are we being executed?
Son of a bitch!
Japanese devils!
Stand up!
I'll go by myself!
Inhuman wretch!
This is your true form!
The face of a man...
but the heart of a beast!
Good! You show some grit.
Stay calm! Slash him!
The Chinese nation...
will live forever!
Don't think of it as a human head.
Take a rest and try again.
Next!
Spare my life!
Wait!
No more!
What?
Please stop!
Stay out of this or I'll kill you too!
I'm not afraid any longer. Kill me if you dare!
I'll be happy to oblige.
Enemy sympathizers deserve to be killed.
We won't let them kill our countrymen!
Stop them!
You're killing innocent men!
Murderers! Murderers!
Private!
Very well. The execution is called off.
Go back and join the others, quickly!
Take them back!
Kaji!
We're taking you to headquarters.
Pvt. Tanaka, take special care of our honored guest.
I'll return later. Go.
Kaji won't be coming home today.
Did something happen?
He refused to let me behead those enemy dogs.
He may not be back for a while. It all depends.
Did he hide anything?
No.
No wonder. Books by damn Westerners.
Open the desk drawers.
Place everything on top of the desk.
Son of a bitch!
How about it?
Wouldn't it be smarter to confess everything?
I only regret that I let you behead the first three.
You don't say!
You're a hopeless case.
Pvt. Tanaka...
you should show our guest more courtesy.
Kaji, don't you miss your wife?
She was crying. She'll have no one to ride her at night.
What have I done?
I'm no monster.
I'd like to put you back on top of your wife tonight,
but for that I'd need more cooperation from you.
What's so funny?
I don't pick pockets. I don't steal. I have nothing to confess.
Very interesting.
Then don't confess until I make you.
Show off your bravado while you can.
You let 18 POWs escape and failed to report it, didn't you?
Is it so funny you can't even answer?
I didn't report it, but I never let them escape.
You used that chink Chen to contact the prisoners.
Show me evidence. Or will you lose face if you can't prove it?
Son of a bitch!
Did you want something?
No.
I just didn't expect things to come to this.
Quarrels over work are one thing.
I didn't intend for others to do my fighting for me.
So I came to...
I understand.
I never thought Kaji would do such a thing.
Do what?
Oh... nothing.
I don't know what other people think,
but I know that whatever Kaji did, he alone could do.
I see. If that's how you feel, you can do as you please.
I just dropped by to see if I could help in any way.
I won't be asking for your help.
What you can do
is admit that those men were not trying to escape.
Admit it! You and Wang Heng Li plotted their escape.
Didn't you?
Why don't you answer?
Wang Heng Li was arrested. He confessed everything.
Wang was arrested?
Only his execution remains.
When will it be?
Worried? He was your friend, wasn't he?
He instigated the uprising at your suggestion, didn't he?
When is he to die?
Why don't you answer?
Very well.
Today I'll make you weep like a woman.
That'll be something for your wife to hear!
WANG HENG LI In Memoriam
Wang...
in the end you died without seeing the dawn.
But your countrymen...
will surely bury you by the light of the newborn day.
Get out here.
Come on.
Go inside.
Kiss her. Don't let me stop you.
Michiko, you mustn't come here.
Don't worry. Go home.
I brought some sushi. May I give it to him?
Go ahead.
Won't you have some?
Michiko...
if you ever need help, talk to Okishima.
Okishima, I'm counting on you.
Mr. Okishima...
is being transferred.
I came to say good-bye.
I see.
I'm sorry I wasn't any help on the phone.
I argued with the manager. I'm being shipped out to a smaller mine.
So that's how it is.
I'd have liked to stick around and fight with you some more.
Furuya's taking over my spot.
We're back to square one.
Is there anything you'd like?
Nothing.
So... I won't be seeing you again?
I learned so much from you.
No, it's me who learned from you.
Though you've paid a bitter price,
you finally caught the humanism train.
Oh, yes. Wang Heng Li...
No unauthorized conversation!
Your time is up.
Private!
Michiko!
You're hereby released by special permission.
But don't think you're out of the woods.
Remember: I'll always be watching you.
Wherever you go, I'll be there first.
Reporting back, sir.
It arrived, Kaji.
EMERGENCY SUMMONS TO MILITARY SERVICE
I knew something was up.
So you use me up and then throw me out.
I can't afford to lose you,
but there's nothing I can do.
Forget the smooth talk!
Nice way to get rid of those you don't want.
There's nothing I can do. Now I see the light.
I should have trusted the whores instead of the managers here!
I know you're tired, but turn your duties over to Furuya.
He needs to find a new leader among the special laborers.
Since Wang Heng Li escaped, no one wants to lead them.
Escaped?
Wang Heng Li escaped?
Thirty of them got away.
So he made it after all!
Good for you, Wang!
I hope they all get away!
Sir, please inform Furuya
that he's been spared a thorough beating thanks to Wang's escape.
I was going over there to thrash him, not hand over my duties.
But I've suddenly changed my mind.
I guess a man finds kindred spirits after all.
Japanese devil!
Kill me... like you murdered Kao!
Why don't you kill me, Japanese devil?
He murdered an innocent man!
Mr. Kaji.
Don't be angry.
I know you have a good heart...
but you weren't able to save Kao's life.
Michiko, you'll fall!
Welcome back!
I heard you'd come back in terrible shape.
But it's not true. You look well.
I'm so happy!
So very happy!
What's this?
They wouldn't!
No, it's not fair!
They promised you an exemption.
This is a dirty trick!
This is too much.
It's not fair.
Nothing can be done now.
What did you do to deserve this?
Nothing.
But I'd hoped to accomplish things with you when I returned.
Why must these terrible things happen to you?
What have you done to deserve this?
You're so thin,
so covered with scars.
And now they're dragging you off to war.
You mustn't die.
We must live again.
When will we meet again?
You'll come back. I know you will.
Japanese devil!
I hope you die!
Michiko, let's go home.
We still have 24 hours together.
Japanese devil!
