- Are you his wife or something? - Come get some, you slut!

Aigoo... Deranged nutjobs. Nice spectacle, all right.
I guess one of them had the hots for a soldier.
Looks like he was also bringing her food.
And she's claiming the other woman set her sights on him.
Aigoo... How pathetic. Fighting over a private.
Have you given it a thought?
It's not like you'd have any other option.
How are you ever going to give birth here?!
And besides, see what happens if they find out.
Think they'll wait for you?
Or they'll just let you live?
Do as I said. It'll only cost you 200 tickets.
You won't even feel it.
You need to move on.
I'm giving birth.
Wake up. That student soldier is already pushing up daisies in Burma.
And even if he's alive, think he'll welcome that kid with open hands?
How would you prove to him the child is his?
Did you count those quickies, or something?
Money is all she cares about.
They might have brought us here against our will, but she came here to make money.
She asked to come here just to make money doing this!
Here... Have it!
You haven't heard, have you?
They're saying that whomever can't do this anymore is taken away and dealt with.
And you know how they "deal" with them? By pulling the trigger!
You've been in bed for days, haven't you? So you'll...
What do these pieces of paper mean, anyway?!
So what, we aren't heading back home because of the money?
Think that a little money is going to solve that?
We're just...
Insuk...
Insuk.
- Imperial Army 6th Div. 23rd Reg. 2nd Bat. - Changsha, China
Thank you.
Chin up.
I'm comfort station recruitment officer Koga.
We are selecting women to be sent down south.
As far away as it might be, you will be generously compensated.
Still, we have standards to live up to.
Healthy young women will have the precedence.
You will be taken there on a ship, so volunteer if you're up for it.
Name.
Name!
Reiko.
- You. - Sadako.
- You. - Akiko.
- You. - Leave me out of this.
- You! - Kaimi.
- You. - Eiko.
You.
By south, does he mean Burma?
Aigoo...
Want some?
Here it is, Harimoto. Where we're headed.
Saipan.
The moment we arrive, I'll set in motion all procedures to get you promoted.
Small a difference as it might be, becoming a first class private will be an improvement.
You told me not to ask unnecessary questions, but I always wanted to ask you one.
You pretty much saved my life.
And you could say your protection has extended as far as my work with Unit 731.
The same goes for this Saipan campaign.
I'm nothing but a private, not to mention being from the colonies.
So I always wanted to ask you why you're favoring me this way.
I thought I'd already made myself clear?
I never really stopped to think about you even for a moment.
All I care about are your accolades at the Tokyo Imperial University.
And your being from Joseon only makes things easier for me,
since I won't have to worry about you losing your mind over petty heroism,
or worrying about profound issues like the meaning of what we do here.
Isn't that right, Harimoto?
You Joseon people are simple-minded, so all you'll worry about is your own survival.
- Funaka Detention Center, Tokyo -
You've lost weight.
I apologize.
You really didn't need to bother...
How are you doing?
I feel sorry to the baby, for being such a bad mother.
- No news from Harim? - Nothing yet.
But I guess that only means he's doing all right.
I don't know if you were aware, but they rejected the appeal.
They'll just wait until the baby is born, because he's done nothing wrong.
- After that, I'll... - Don't lose hope quite yet.
I'm asking around.
- I actually met a lawyer yesterday, and... - If you really want to help me,
don't waste time doing that.
The fact I can't even repay you for all you did is hard enough to bear as it is.
I told you that I'd always be there if you needed me.
But as you can see, there's nothing much I can do.
Can you do me a favor, then?
It's all I'm asking you to do.
They're going to execute me after I give birth,
so will you...
bring the baby to my father in Kyoto?
- But my mother will never allow that. - And when Harim is back,
please tell him this.
That I only came there after killing that man because I had no choice,
and that I didn't seem to care about him as much as I used to.
That I told you I wasn't really sure if the baby was his, after all.
How... How can I tell him that?
Because getting angry will be much better than missing me.
If it can help him forget he ever met me...
Please...
With victory becoming an increasingly remote possibility,
the empire moved to create one last defensive bastion,
one which, as the name suggested, would prove to be their last defense line.
And Saipan was chosen as this strategical point.
There were 2400 km between Saipan and Tokyo,
and in case the Americans gained control of the islet,
not only Tokyo but the entire archipelago would be within range of their B29 bombers.
- Imperial Army 43rd Division - Saipan Defense HQ
We currently have a total force of 35,000 troops and 20,000 civilians.
Army command already ordered our troops to defend this post with their lives,
and even the civilians will be no exception.
Everyone must stake his life to protect this island.
I will now brief all the senior officers on our upcoming mission.
First and foremost,
our objective is to survive the enemy's landing no matter what.
It is paramount that we survive.
The enemy will try everything in its power to find you,
which is why you must know Saipan like the back of your hand,
without resorting to any map.
That is the only way you'll survive.
You must cover a daily average distance of 40 km,
and do it without using any emergency rations, if possible.
Snakes, rats, frogs, fruits and berries.
The jungle can provide all you need to survive.
Should you find any locals on the way, you may kill them if needed.
You must make use of every waterway and fauna you'll meet.
And that is because you must learn where and when to use our bacteriological weapons.
- 12 -
Ever killed before?
Never.
Neither have I.
But now thousands of people will die because of me.
And we might end up facing the same fate.
Then again, I shouldn't expect someone from the colonies to understand.
Because dying with honor means nothing to you.
As for me...
I come from a long tradition of samurai.
And for warriors, it's not how you live but how you die that matters.
And that bushido, that fighting spirit is exactly what is leading the empire.
But not everyone on this island is a warrior like you.
I'm sure many of those people would rather survive,
and they would get their wish, if those bacteria weren't used.
Watch your mouth, Harimoto.
You and I are the only one in Saipan who know about Unit 731.
And I need you.
Harimoto.
Have you ever killed before?
Right... You already told me.
Hear that?
You can hear the waves if you put your ear to the ground.
Feels like lying down at home.
I guess it's the same Pacific Ocean...
- 4/6/1944, Burma -
It appeared as if the Imphal Campaign would end up succeeding,
with the Japanese successfully penetrating those dangerous jungles,
and catching both Indian and British forces unprepared.
Left behind by the fleeing enemy forces were enough supplies to last the Japanese a year.
However, the retreating Indo-British forces left a trail of over a hundred bombers,
which destroyed any armament and provision left behind.
The number of isolated soldiers with neither a bullet nor a handful of rice increased.
Over ten thousands bombs were being dropped on a daily basis,
while the Japanese could only answer with a half dozen bullets.
Nearly disarmed and starving as they were.
- Maymyo, Burma - Imperial Army 15th Div. Command
Bring me the regiment commander.
Listen, when will you occupy our target?
Current status.
How many troops left?
Eighty for Squadron 9, twenty for Squadron 2.
- No more than a hundred in total. - What?!
A hundred men out of an entire battalion? Those sons of bitches!
Sir, one unit has yet to arrive.
Where?
The Ogura Unit.
Kunomura! Tell them that reinforcements are coming.
Reinforcements are coming, so hold them back.
Converge and recapture the plateau.
Sir! Sir! A British army helmet.
I see...
So while we've been wandering around for the last month, they were fighting.
- Nishihara. - Sir.
Can you believe this?
Imphal campaign, my ass. Is the war over, already?
Sir! Sir.
Water! Water!
Let go, you little...
Sir.
They've been annihilated?!
Can the imperial army suffer such a defeat?
Shall we proceed?
Enough with all that silly nonsense.
The only order we have is to advance.
Let's move.
Sakai... Come, Sakai.
They're attacking us!
- Kohima, Nagaland - (100 km north of Imphal, bordering Burma)
Sakai.
Got some rice left, right?
Can't I have a look, at least?
It's been over two weeks since I've seen rice...
I've had it with these grass roots...
With having the runs all the time, so much so that now nothing comes out.
They're all dead.
They're from the 17th company.
I even saw them write their last words yesterday.
Look! Churchill supplies. Must have been dropped by accident.
Supplies!
Churchill supplies!
Ohtani! Come back here!
Cigarettes, please...
Canned tuna...
The entire 315th unit has been annihilated,
and we lost contact with checkpoint 45 since 11 pm.
In our estimation, there were no survivors.
Also...
That leaves us with two choices.
One is resigning ourselves and withdrawing,
in which case we might bring home a third of our men alive,
but we'd let our empire's fighting spirit die in the process.
The other is staking our lives down to the last man,
to die honorably for our great empire's cause.
And that does not exclude the fact we might still have hope.
What would His Majesty the Emperor want from us?
Sir, awaiting orders. We already put our lives on the line the moment we left.
Fine.
Send a dispatch to all our men.
Tell them to stake their lives on this mission, as we will all fight and die together.
- Miyaguchi. - Sir.
Deploy supervisors to all units, and execute any traitors.
Yes, Sir.
We will depart at 2000 hours. Reaching the frontline is our objective.
Any volunteers, step forward.
We will die upholding the great legacy of our imperial army.
Advancing is the only weapon we have left.
As I said, our objective is reaching the enemy's trenches.
As you're well aware, we'll find enough supplies there to grow tired of them.
I'd like to be proud of the fact my entire division volunteered.
For the Emperor!
Salute.
Sakai...
Sakai.
It's driving me crazy. It never stops...
I'd rather get killed fighting than slowly die like this.
At least if we win we'll find supplies there.
Maybe they have something for the runs?
Where are you going?
What's wrong with you?
- Don't you want to survive? - Sakai...
"Advancing" is our weapon?!
So running into the enemy camp without defense would be a "weapon"?!
Listen well.
You said you have a daughter back in Japan, right?
- Will you... - Sakai!
You son of a bitch.
Chosen scum.
You deserve to be beaten to a pulp!
Listen well, Chosen scum. Don't even dream of running away!
I can deal with dying before seeing the empire triumph,
but I'll never let a traitor like you get away with desertion!
You run away before our final battle? Are you that afraid of death?
I am.
I'm afraid.
I am...
There is no way death is going to scare me!
What is the alternative... What is it?
Surviving this and going back to plowing fields?
Who, me?
Get up, Chosen scum!
And when we charge, you'll be fighting right in front.
Kubota!
Yes, Sir!
Carry him.
Are you all right?
Uh?
Are you all right?
Are you okay, Sakai?
I'm sorry, Sakai...
It's all my fault...
I'm sorry.
To your positions.
Are we ready, Nishihara?
Yes, Sir.
Now!
Nishihara!
Owaku!
