- 43rd Division Hospital - Saipan
- Episode 7 - Originally Aired on 10/23/1991
Have you heard the news?
The 29th division headed for Saipan was completely annihilated.
Not even half the troops made it back alive.
They were attacked by American submarines.
It's only a matter of time before the Americans land here.
Likely.
- Then, are we just all going to die? - I guess.
- How will you deal with it? - What?
Must we die with honor just like the Japanese?
Will you just let them kill you?
- Bacteria Cultivation Lab - 43rd Div. Hospital, Saipan
Dry sputum tests for our pest bacteria cultures are complete.
- How long can they last? - About three months.
I doubt we'll have to wait that long,
as these rats will become our very last line of defense here in Saipan.
Bear this in mind, Harimoto.
The moment the Americans land, we'll inject these rats with bacteria.
So that when they'll come charging at us, the only thing they will find...
are hundreds of rats and all the bacteria they've been infected with.
Don't you want General Ishii to see all this?
Heard the news?
They asked us for a medic.
I gave my consent, and it looks like it's for some Chosen women.
There was really no need for a gynecologist or anything...
Just anyone who can check if they're clean down there, nothing more.
You never know what you're getting, you know...
Some of them even did some time among the Kwantung Army.
This is no easy job, of course.
We need to make sure they're clean, but who will possibly examine them?!
Every army medic claims to be busy.
They just don't want to do the dirty work, that's what.
So I'll have to count on you.
I'll give you all the discounts you ask.
Uh? Medic Sir.
- Imperial Army Comfort Station - Nafutan, Saipan
I brought a medic.
Come. Hurry up.
Come on.
Let's hurry.
Quick.
Let's get moving.
Take off your clothes, all of them.
Let's show him everything there is to see.
Don't you want to get a proper examination?
You know that you won't get work if you're not clean, right?
And if you came all the way here to loaf around, better drown in the sea.
Keep an eye on this one.
My damn luck... I even got a pregnant one.
Not the kind of miracle I wished for. Most women here can't even get pregnant.
- Get moving. - All right!
Just kill it and get it over with, will you?
She didn't come for free, I spent good money for her.
How about it? Can you do that?
Here.
Done.
Get ready.
Are you deaf?
- Let's examine you. - No! No way.
If the child dies, so do I.
You're just... You're just trying to get rid of my baby, right?
Forget it, no way!
Lie down.
I don't really know much about gynecology, to be honest.
See what happens if you touch my baby.
No way, never!
Aren't you going to give birth?
Shouldn't you get checked for that to happen?
You look about ready for delivery.
Here, give it back to me.
It's too late to do anything, anyway.
And it's not like you're going through a regular pregnancy.
So let's check whether the child is healthy, and then...
You can't go on doing this in your state.
I said you have a venereal disease,
so you won't have to do anything as long as you're under treatment.
I'm from Joseon, too!
Sakai?!
Sakai...
It's you, right?
Sakai!
You made it alive, Sakai!
- May 1944, Bishenpur - 10 km South of Imphal
Hey.
Have some of this, it's butter.
It's British-made. I found it.
I thought everyone died.
You know, the moment I heard those tanks, I started running away.
I kept running nonstop, and suddenly it was morning, and I was still alive.
Water.
We need to save it for later.
We got lucky.
It's a relief we made it. Beats dying in that manner.
Hardtacks.
Go ahead, you can have them.
Hey... Stay away.
I said stay away! Don't come here.
Away!
He got it!
See? I told you Sakai was the best in the entire regiment!
We hit it!
When we get home, I'll open an udon stall.
My family has a secret recipe.
See? It's great we made it alive.
I'm happy you made it.
How about you? Aren't you happy I made it?
You're not like the others.
You look like you'll survive no matter what happens. Right?
What do you think you're doing? Goddamned deserters!
What is this supposed to be?
Is this how you uphold our empire's legacy?
We're here to supervise our troops.
Those who haven't suffered any injuries, hurry up and come forward.
Separate yourselves from the injured.
What's with you? You're perfectly fine.
What's your affiliation?
Separate from the injured.
Hey! Stop!
Deserters will be executed!
Don't go.
Go with them.
Aren't you Japanese, after all?
And where are you going?
Not that way, for sure.
Look, Sakai.
I can't go back to those trenches.
Don't leave me here.
Don't do this to me.
I must survive.
Sakai...
Don't abandon me here...
Sakai...
War scares me.
I want to live.
Don't leave me here.
Harimoto.
Why don't you go ahead and write a will as well?
It actually makes you feel better?!
Is that what you were writing?
Yes, for my wife.
I bet she'll be in tears when she reads this.
But it'll make her proud.
Is that so?
Someone who cries for you, one who'll bring flowers to your grave,
and one who will hate your guts for life. Doesn't that suffice?
- Your hat. - Right.
Thanks. See you!
Hey, Medic.
You just leave like this while on duty?
How about her treatment?
Treating venereal diseases is no joke.
Goddamn... Just my lucky day.
I'd never make such a mistake. And when the hell will it stop raining?!
I don't really know much about gynecology myself...
You can't read Japanese, right?
I highlighted a few bits that might come in handy.
Give it a read.
I'll only stay a moment.
I have to at least pretend I'm treating you.
I apologize.
I thought you came to kill my baby...
It's what everyone else tried to do...
All of them.
People are really something.
Thousands and thousands of dead day in and day out,
and yet someone struggling so fiercely to save one life.
You know what's going on in Saipan?
Your choices are getting bombarded or infected.
This baby will survive.
I must meet his father.
We promised, that he'd make it alive. And then come back to me.
That's what he promised me.
Help me.
- Charan-Kanoa - Saipan
What are you doing here?
- Explosives, you said? - That's right.
How much will we need to take this hospital down?
And I'm supposed to help you do that?
I can't do it by myself.
You'll have to help me out.
- And why me? - You're in the explosives division.
- Still... - They're not going to bombard the hospital.
We must bring it down by ourselves.
- Jang Seonbae... - We're both from Joseon.
I'm sorry.
You know what's hiding in the basement?
- I'm sorry. I didn't hear that. - Listen to me.
It was great to meet you here.
Meeting a fellow compatriot, let alone a schoolmate like you.
- But that has nothing to do with this! - It's filled with bacteria.
Enough to kill thousands and thousands of people.
I even despised you!
What could possibly lead a student-soldier to become Mita's right-hand man?!
The moment the Americans land, all those bacteria will be let loose.
- All over Saipan. - I'm from Joseon, too.
I might be from Joseon, but this is crazy.
We have no chances of succeeding.
If they spot us with those explosives, we'll be killed.
Listen...
We're going to die, anyway.
Once they release those bacteria, nobody will survive.
Nobody.
I'm just as scared as you are.
And I think it's crazy, too.
I'm no independence fighter.
If that was the case, I wouldn't have followed Mita for all this time.
All I want is to survive.
Don't you want the same?
Kang Gyun.
Still, men should get married.
It's only when they have children that people really grow up.
It doesn't have to be a great beauty.
Give it ten years, and even a great body and a nice face will do you no good.
Get someone who can't live without you, and you'll be set.
You better believe it.
How much longer do you think this war will go on?
A year?
Two?
Could easily be ten.
By then, my little Junko will be old enough to get married.
I should be there by her side when that happens...
To survive until then...
Who's there?
Kubota!
Owaku!
Owaku...
- Owaku! - Kubota!
Owaku...
- You made it! - You were alive!
Missed me?
Scummy Chosen runaway.
Not one to die easily, are you?
Kubota.
Sakai.
Eleven of us are left.
Acting immediately, we will march to rejoin the regiment.
I'm still in command.
Discipline isn't dead.
So you better remember that.
Ten-hut!
- 43rd Division Coast Checkpoint - Tanapag Harbor, Saipan
- Bacteria Cultivation Lab - 43rd Division Hospital
Today's raid was used by the enemy for recon purposes.
Intel led us to believe that at least eight aircraft carriers and six subs...
are standing by and ready to attack at the US Navy Pacific HQ in Mejuro-to.
And that can only mean that a full-scale offensive is on the horizon.
All senior officers will be posted here 24/7 starting immediately.
First order of business,
reporting to our strategy room at the first signs of an attack.
There, you will be provided with bacteria.
Finally...
So you don't want to croak in here, either? Aigoo...
This is TNT.
Only movement can detonate it.
What do I do to set it off?
One bullet is all it'd take.
But that would kill us as well, so using dynamite is wiser.
Detonate it from afar, and we'll be able to buy time.
What's the matter?
I apologize, I just...
There was a problem with the valves,
so I came in a hurry without asking permission.
Anything wrong with the bacteria?
Luckily, I spotted the issue right away.
It was literally withdrawing towards death.
The only things they could feed on were roots and bark,
as reaching their destination was becoming an increasingly remote possibility.
They had to cover between 800 and 1000 km,
from the deadly Hukawng Valley to the central Burmese basin...
and all the way to the Arakan mountains.
The entire contingent sent to Burma for the Imphal Campaign was 303,500 men.
Only 110,000 made it back alive,
meaning that close to 190,000 people lost their lives in Burma.
They were all treated as deaths in battle,
but most of them were the result of starvation and malaria.
- Hukawng Valley - Burma
You know why I enlisted at my age?
I was left with no job, my wife deserted me,
and I even had to leave my only daughter to relatives.
But I was hungry, so hungry I had to join the army to survive.
I never imagined war would be this bad, I never did!
I can't take this anymore.
What the hell are you doing?
What is this?
Where did the empire's fighting spirit go?
No Imperial soldier would die on the way like that.
Get up!
Get the hell up!
Who's there?
Kono!
That prick isn't even human.
He's got to be possessed.
Or else, how could he still be that strong?!
Some kind of demon must have possessed him.
Kono.
Don't you know those left behind become deserters, and could be executed?
Get up!
Up!
Is this how you want to die?
Kono!
Army command is right around the corner.
You're an imperial soldier!
I did it for Kono's own good.
He would have either died, or been taken prisoner.
Can an imperial soldier become a POW?
There are no POW's among imperial soldiers.
Don't you get it? Kono asked for it!
If he could still talk, he would have begged me.
No one can fall behind.
Imperial soldiers either die in battle or take their own lives.
And Kono took his life.
Kono committed suicide!
Kono took his life...
It was suicide...
Are you all right?
I told you not to do anything to draw attention.
What are you doing?
Follow me.
