A disgraceful incident has occurred.
I will deal with it myself.
If it's a secret why show me?
I want you to witness it.
- Know what he did? - This Dutch soldier?
Not him he was in a cell for stealing bananas.
- The Korean guard? - Of course.
Kanemoto tell this British officer what you did.
Kanemoto come on! Say it!
Say it! You, Kanemoto!
Why don't you? Are you too ashamed?
You know now Lawrence?
Last night he stole into the cell of that Dutch boy.
Kanemoto show us how you used this thing of yours.
Show us how you used it on this white fellow's ass.
Just do it for us now!
Untie him.
Kanemoto! Do it! Hear me? Now!
Has your dainty thing become too shrunken to be potent?
If you can bugger him again you may commit Harakiri.
Have you gone mad?
You haven't seen a Japanese until you've seen Harakiri.
I don't want to watch it!
Do you want me to hate the Japanese?
I'll do it!
Lawrence, out of the way!
Haven't you shamed him enough?
Shame? He didn't even resist being raped!
Kanemoto, I'll assist you.
Stop it!
Watch this!
Sergeant Hara...
Attention!
What's going on?
- This is not your concern. - Then why bring me here?
- Who ordered this execution? - This is not an execution.
Kanemoto is trying to commit suicide for his crime.
And you ignore it?
Out of compassion.
His family is poor. If we deem his death an accident...
they will get a pension.
What crime has he committed?
Let me report in private.
I've no time now. I'm due at a military trial in Batavia.
Make your report later.
This way, sir.
- Captain Yonoi is here, sir. - Let him in.
I'm Captain Yonoi. I'm here for the trial.
We are very honoured to have Captain Yonoi here today.
This is Colonel Fujimura, President of the court.
- Pleased to serve with you. - Good to have you here.
My name is Iwata.
The military situation here is very serious.
Your service is important.
Gentlemen, the defendant is a very difficult man.
All rise to attention!
Before the court is the case of Jack Celliers.
Read the charges.
The prisoner, Jack Celliers, a Major in the British army...
parachuted with four men into...
the Banten Valley.
They waged guerrilla warfare.
On October 16, they attacked a Japanese transport unit.
They took ammunition, killed PFC Takeshi Tazaki, then...
they wounded Corp. Sawafuji and four others.
His crime is covered by martial law regulations.
We recommend a death penalty...
as prescribed in Section 1.
Erase all those remarks.
May I question him?
If this man fought in India as a legitimate soldier.
Then we must treat him as a prisoner of war.
- We have no proof. - I believe this man.
What?
Stand up.
The prisoner, sir!
He's rebellious to the end.
Make him ready!
Firing position!
Let him be.
Prepare to fire!
Firing positions!
Fire!
Sergeant Hara...
Lawrence can't you let me sleep?
I'm sorry.
I was just now riding on top of Marlene Dietrich's tummy.
In a hideaway in Manchuria!
I must talk to you.
Why's he here?
I want you to protect him.
Why?
My men heard about him.
- I told you not to talk! - I didn't.
There were Japanese soldiers and Korean guards there.
You accuse Japanese...?
It was probably the guards.
Don't you realize that everyone is going to know?
I understand.
Will all your men want to bugger him now?
Is it true that English men are all homosexuals?
Don't be stupid.
Listen I need your help.
A Japanese never asks help from an enemy.
Hey, are you a homosexual?
He's not.
You all fear homosexuality!
A samurai doesn't fear it.
Wars create friendships amongst men.
That hardly means that all soldiers become homosexual.
You are not soldiers,vyou are prisoners!
So you lack discipline, and you beg favours.
- Shame! - Sergeant Hara...
I've nothing to be ashamed of.
A new prisoner has arrived.
Another queer's here!
I've brought a prisoner from military prison, Batavia.
I'm sergeant Gengo Hara. I'll take over.
You bastard!
Stop it!
No! Stop it! Stop it!
Take him to the sick bay.
- What did the doctor say? - I didn't talk to the doctor.
You fool!
Send our medic.
- The commanding officer, sir. - Let him in.
- Where is he? - Sleeping.
Take me.
Why was he captured?
He wasn't. He surrendered.
Why does Capt. Yonoi want to make him commanding officer?
- I don't know. - Answer me Lawrence...
Because he's a born leader.
Why are you still alive?
I'd admire you more if you killed yourself.
A good officer like you!
How can you stand the shame?
We don't call it shame.
Being a prisoner is one of the fortunes of war.
We surely aren't happy being prisoners.
We want to escape. We want to fight you.
That's just quibbling.
No! We want to win. This camp isn't the end.
We won't kill ourselves. It's the coward's way out.
You're just scared of dying!
Don't wake the patients.
When I was 12, I visited the shrine in my village.
I offered my life to the Emperor.
I have already died for my country.
Yes. But you're not dead are you?
What did he say, Lawrence?
Ueki is worried about these training sessions...
that they are too violent.
Sir, your shouts make the prisoners uneasy.
Lawrence has come to me.
- Lawrence is here? - Outside.
Attention.
Salute.
Eyes right.
Ready...
Raise your head.
Stop them.
Thank you.
You don't like me, do you?
You aren't eating?
You all have 'Manju' cakes!
Stop resisting!
Stop it.
Shut up.
What was that singing?
They're practising for Christmas.
It's for a funeral!
To the cell!
He's not an evil spirit. He's a human being!
Get rid of your superstitions!
We found this radio!
- Who's there? - I am here for the key!
I can't give it to you.
- It's Captain's orders. - Isn't he coming?
- Does he come here? - Every night.
Give me the key.
Take this!
I'll kill him.
To the cells!
Please forgive me, Captain.
I want to apologize for my behaviour with death.
- Are you able? - Yes.
Why try to kill him?
That man is a devil! He will destroy your spirit!
Sit up!
What?
Should I have lied about the radio Sergeant Hara?
Should I have said I brought it into the Camp?
Sergeant Hara!
Stop it!
To the cells!
Ride, ride through the day
Ride through the moonlight
Ride, ride through the night
For far in the distance burns the fire
For someone who has waited long
Ride, ride through the day
Ride through the moonlight
Ride, ride through the night
For far in the distance burns the fire
For someone who has waited long
- The prisoners, sir. - Come in.
What?
So Sergeant Hara you're human after all.
Lawrence-San! You know Father Christmas?
Yes Hara-San.
Father Christmas means Santa Claus.
I'm Father Christmas tonight.
Tonight, I'm Father Christmas.
Father Christmas!
Go with him.
Merry Christmas.
Thank you.
Merry Christmas, Lawrence! Merry Christmas!
I brought the squad, sir.
All present, sir.
- I released him last night. - Why?
Yesterday I questioned a Chinese prisoner.
He confessed he smuggled the radio into the sick bay.
I had him executed.
I was wrong to blame Lawrence.
Why not report it!
- I also released Jack Celliers. - Without my permission?
Sir, I was a little drunk.
I didn't think Lawrence or Celliers would do us harm.
I didn't think you wanted them to be martyrs.
I'll take the consequences.
I'm sending prisoners to Haruka to build an airstrip.
You'll take charge of them. You leave in three days.
In the meantime you will be confined to your room.
Without sake.
You're faking.
You are not sick!
Your spirits are sick!
Death!
Stop it!
Ride, ride through the day
Ride through the moonlight
Ride, ride through the night
For far in the distance burns the fire
For someone who has waited long
