Special Drama
When the two of us met...
I want you to be my wife!
I'll protect you through thick and thin.
The war had just ended, and I waited at my uncle's house in Busan for the journey back to Japan...
But when the war is over, we are still Koreans.
My name is Boku Shunjin.
You weren't Japanese after all.
...And then we said our goodbyes at Busan Harbor.
Don't give up!
Write me!
You, too!
The fact is, repatriates are just another burden we all could do without.
There was nowhere for me to go back home in Japan...

Episode 2 of 3 A Promise that Crosses the Ocean
December 1945
Yoshie Tomoko
Mrs. Okada?
Kiyomi's mother Okada Aiko
Tomoko! My goodness!
How are you?
Well, you can see for yourself.
Kiyomi works with the fishermens' union.
Where's your house?
This is it!
This used to be an ammunition bunker for the army.
Supposedly there used to be cannons on the top!
It's burning!
Oh my goodness!
I'm home!
Welcome home!
Tomoko's friend Okada Kiyomi
Tomo-chan!
Kiyomi-chan!
I can't believe they did that to you!
You really can't count on relatives.
Everybody's poor...
We've only just been able to find food!
Deep down inside, they don't want to take care of repatriates.
There are a few people who are nice, but sometimes they have ulterior motives.
But you must be surprised we live in a place like this!
At least you've got a job!
I'm just a temporary maid.
I could lose my job at any moment.
But I'm not giving up... I'll make it through no matter what.
I've got a baby after all!
I've got to find a job, too.
At least take good care of your health, though.
Thanks.
Do you breast feed a lot?
No... The rationed milk isn't enough so I water it down a lot.
Nibble on some fish bones.
They should be nice and crispy.
Thanks!
You're so lucky to have your mother here!
What a view!
Isn't it?
When bad things happen, I always come here.
I feel much better... I'm glad I came!
Tomo-chan?
Hm?
Did you come because you wanted my help?
For what?
Why did you come here?
Well, I was just worried, so I came to check up on you.
Is that really all?
That's it.
Where are you headed off to now?
That's a good question.
It's on the way, so I'll stop by my uncle's house.
Tomo-chan!
I'm so sorry I can't help you... If only we were family...
Don't worry!
I'll become strong like you!
Tomo-chan...
Take care then.
Hey, old man!
Tomoko's uncle Shindou Noboru
There's someone collapsed by the well!
Her trunk has "Busan -- Yoshie Tomoko" written on it.
They kicked you out?
The main house and branch house started arguing over me...
They've always been like that!
This isn't my house...
My younger brother's letting us stay here.
Please help me...
Once I find a job, I'll find another place.
Freeloaders can't take in freeloaders.
We'd feel really, really ashamed...
Tomoko's aunt Shindou Shinobu
Can I come in?
Shindou's younger brother Kawase Akira
Don't be so heartless!
Throwing a sick person out in such cold weather... What if she dies out there?
But I'm not living easy either...
You're not getting the guest treatment.
Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you!
Tomoko! Is it ready yet?
Yes! In just a second!
Happy New Year!
New Year's, 1946
Happy New Year.
I never thought I'd be spending New Years with my big brother like this.
Thank you!
No, no!
Tomoko-san? Is the soup ready yet?
I'm sorry... It's almost done!
It won't be very festive without a lot of mochi, but with this many people...
I'm sorry...
Etsuko... That's enough.
April
How long is that girl going to stay here?
She can't find a job... What's she supposed to do?
She's spreading rumors about how we're working her like an animal even though we're family...
Really...?
We're not even related by blood!
We're not obligated to take her in!
Why is it always us having to deal with this!?
They're all a bunch of leeches!
I'll find my way to Japan... To see you.
If you stand strong, the day will come when you'll be glad you lived your life... I promise.
I'm begging you... I want you to be my wife!
Mr. Kido...?
So you were here all this time?
Why did you come...?
I have some business with Mr. Shindou.
This isn't a dream, is it?
I'm not a ghost, either.
I must look horrible.
No, not at all.
Kido Shunji
Mr. Kido!
Good to see you again, Mr. President.
I've been waiting!
This is it?
I exhausted every possible option.
These bankbooks and certificates are worthless now.
Even this money is worthless after they changed to the new yen.
I've only delivered the things you asked me to.
But it's too late, Mr. Kido.
I was a fool to trust you.
Mr. Kido, there's no other man who treated the Koreans as equally and justly as myself.
You should know that well by now.
Look...
In thirty years, I built Busan Shipping.
In a blink of an eye, all those assets disappeared.
I did everything I could.
Lies... All lies!
I'm not lying.
Japan, America, and Korea worked hand-in-hand to deceive me!
And you were in on it, too!
It's a pity...
What?
Does even your heart become corrupted after losing the war?
I'll send you to hell.
I'll send you to hell, goddammit.
Thank you for your time.
Mr. Kido!
Is the President treating you well?
He isn't, is he...
Before I came here, I visited Okayama.
Your relatives told me you only went there to put your parents to rest.
They didn't even know where you were!
You don't have to live so miserably!
Come with me!
But I can't, looking like this...
Who cares about how you look!
If only I had given her something to take with her...
To Busan?
Yes.
Come back with me.
But...
The ship carrying Japanese repatriates back to Hakata also carries Koreans back to Busan.
So I will be posing as Korean?
No... You will be Korean.
That's why I came here for you.
You still have doubts?
Who knows what my uncle and the others will say...
That I'm ingrateful, that I ran off with a Korean man...
I'm sorry.
If they want to say those things, let them.
I'll take care of you for the rest of your life.
I'll risk my life to protect you!
The most important thing is that the two of us love each other!
I'm begging you...
Be my wife!
Repatriate transport ship
There was one good thing that came out of returning to Japan.
What's that?
Getting to see you.
Really?
Look!
I always keep this close at hand.
Tomoko-san!
Hurrah!
Korea is free, hurrah!
When we arrive at Busan, let's head straight for Gyeongju.
Gyeongju?
I want you to meet my mother.
Your mother?
My mother raised me and my two brothers while running a restaurant.
She's not very educated, but she's a good judge of people.
I know she'll just love you!
And then we'll gather some relatives and hold a wedding.
Wedding?
You look beautiful in chima jeogori.
We can have a new one tailor-made for you for the wedding.
Do you like kimchi?
It's my favorite!
My mother's famous for her kimchi!
Hopefully she can teach you.
So we're living with her in Gyeongju?
No... We'll live in Busan.
As a kid, I dreamed of running a trading company... Even now, my dream is the same.
Even if it's small, let's find a house with an ocean view and live together with our children.
Busan Harbor
Thank you!
You're Park Junin, right?
Come with me.
What seems to be the problem?
I said come with me!
Wait... I'm together with someone.
You come too.
Ex-military police officer, Kido Shunji.
You have the wrong person.
Don't play stupid!
We're repatriates from Japan.
Who exactly is this woman to you?
My fiance.
Quit the act!
This immigration permit is bogus!
Confess, dammit!
Stop!
So she's Japanese, huh?
No! She's a repatriate! She just can't speak Korean.
We're supposed to believe that crap?
We're finally free, but you'll still sell your countrymen!?
Traitor!
Stop!
Stay outta this!
Get over here!
Mr. Kido!
Tomoko!
We're arresting both of you on suspicion of espionage!
We're not spies!
Come with me!
Park Junin betrayed both Korea and Japan.
If he had only stayed hidden instead of crossing the strait, this would never have happened.
He's finished.
Born and raised in Busan, you say?
Two Days Later
Yes.
You returned to Japan, but you had no relatives to take you in?
Yes.
And so you're marrying Park Junin and becoming Korean.
Yes.
You're like a bat...
One time a bird, one time a beast...
I will grant you an exception and allow you into Korea.
Let her free.
Yes, sir!
But you will never be allowed to leave this country again.
Mr. Kido!
Are you alright?
I hope I didn't make you worry too much.
You're hurt.
This is nothing.
Everything's been cleared up, so we're free now.
But... how...?
I'm a magician.
Let's go.
Busan is pronounced "Busan."
Keijou is "Gyeongseong."
How about "Japan"?
"Ilbon."
And Korea?
"Joseon."
And my name?
"Park Junin."
One more time!
Japanese and Korean have similar grammar, so you'll catch on fast.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
What about your home?
Gyeongju.
That's it.
Gyeongju
This way.
This is it.
Toraji Cafe
Excuse me.
Do you have any gukbap with bean sprouts?
We sure do.
Junin!
Mother!
Where have you been!?
I've been waiting all this time!
This is Tomoko.
Pleased to meet you.
Kido's mother Kim Gyesuk
Y-You've come a long way.
Brother!
Junho!
This is my younger brother, Junho!
Nice to meet you.
Go on and have a seat!
We'll close the shop tonight and have a welcome-home party!
Get started with the preparations.
What happened to your face?
It's nothing.
I fell on my bike.
You're such a little devil... How old do you think you are!
I'm not against the marriage.
Thank you.
But I won't support it either.
This young woman is truly wonderful.
She's caring and clever, more than you deserve.
We all like her very much.
I cried after hearing that she was determined to become Korean for you.
But she can't become Korean.
It would only be hardship for her.
Just listen to me.
This woman can't speak Korean.
And she knows nothing of Korean customs.
Can you imagine how she'll feel when others give her the cold shoulder?
I'll protect her.
Were you able to protect her last time?
She was detained by the police!
But...
Have you no shame as a man?
Tomoko-san?
Do you love my son?
Yes.
Do you want to marry him?
Yes.
Then take my son with you to Japan.
What! She has no relatives there.
But you'll be there.
You can speak Japanese... And you were Japanese up until last year.
You even joined the Japanese army.
Tomoko can't become Korean... But you can become Japanese.
Do you want Tomoko to live a life of misfortune because of you?
You don't understand!
Japan's been occupied by the Americans... It's in shambles.
Korea is no different.
With the Soviets in the north and the Americans in the south...
our new government was crushed.
Forget about independence, who knows what will happen next?
Everyone's on their last nerve, blaming everything on the Japanese.
I'll say it one more time.
Tomoko-san won't be happy in Korea.
For an ex-Japanese military policeman like you to marry a Japanese woman...
you will only get cold stares.
They'll talk behind your backs.
Tomoko-san... I can't take you in as my daughter-in-law.
If you want to get married, go to Japan together.
You must do whatever it takes to make Tomoko happy.
Mother...
You don't care?
You don't care if I become Japanese!?
You two love each other.
I have two other sons...
I can pretend like you were never born.
Tomoko-san!
Please just forget about me.
I will return to Japan alone.
Are you crazy?
If I become Korean, it will only cause trouble for your family.
It'll be a burden for you too.
You're going to abandon me?
We made a promise!
I returned to Korea because I love you.
I'm going to Japan with you.
No! You need to take care of your mother.
I won't listen to you... I'm doing things my way.
I don't want to ruin your life!
Then let's ruin our lives together.
As long as I'm with you, I'll be able to withstand any hardship.
That is my happiness.
But...
It'll be alright.
I'm a magician, remember?
Park Junin!
I don't need your name.
Here.
Good.
How long until we reach Japan?
I don't know...
The seas are rough.
Hurry up and get on.
Yes.
Brother!
Mother!
Don't leave yet!
What's going on?
Mother!
Take care.
You, too.
No matter where you are or what you're doing, you'll always be my son.
Tomoko-san...
I won't forget everything you've done for me.
Thank you so much.
Take good care of my son.
I will.
When your first baby is born, send me a picture.
I will.
Hurry up or we'll leave you!
Where will you settle down?
Kyoto.
I know some Korean friends over there.
Sister...
I wish you the best.
Thank you!
I wish the best for you...
Junin!
Kyoto
Excuse me... Can you point me to the Meiji Bookstore?
Thank you.
This is it.
Excuse me!
Is Mr. Ito in?
Well, that would be me.
Instructor-sir!
Former cadet trainee Kido Shunji reporting in, sir!
Kido's former superior officer Itou Hisanobu
My goodness... Kido Shunji!
You scared the crap outta me!
Sorry for dropping in so suddenly.
And this is?
My wife.
You came from Busan!?
Itou's wife Itou Youko
I'm from Jeju Province!
Jeju Province?
And how about your wife?
Okayama Prefecture.
So you're Japanese?
Yes.
But she was born in Busan and worked at the Busan Plant.
You met each other over in Korea?
Yes.
Goodness, it smells like body odor in here!
I'm sorry.
Before we eat, you two go to the public baths!
It's just around the corner.
Thank you.
You in for alcohol?
Well, a little I suppose.
And you, Misses?
I think I'll pass...
Well, it's actually not sake, just the lees.
A job, huh...
Look...
Kyoto might have escaped the war without a scratch, but the city's thick with unemployed.
And to top it off, you're Korean.
Instructor-sir...
Quit callin' me that...
Just call me Mr. Itou.
Can you fill this up?
How did you make it to Japan, Mr. Itou?
During the war, we were still Japanese... I had no problems coming over.
But the minute they lose the war, they treat us like foreigners.
So what the hell, I'm posing as Japanese now.
My customers and neighbors have no clue I'm Korean.
Of course, if they found out I was Korean, they'd be behaving differently.
The Japanese lost the war and bow down to the Americans...
but even now, they still look down on Chinese and Koreans.
Plus, you're a stowaway who's staying in the country illegally.
There's no way you'll find a decent job!
I won't be picky... I'll do anything.
At best, you could be a day laborer or sell food.
The desperate ones who join the yakuza don't do too bad either!
I want to work, too!
Hm...
Since you're a real Japanese, there may be hope for you.
Please help us however you can.
But where do you plan on living?
For the time being, we'll go to the real estate agent and see if there's rooms to rent...
They'll be more than you bargained for!
We just need a place to sleep.
How about the second floor of our house?
Well, it's really the attic.
Please!
There's no closet or bathroom, you know.
We'll, we didn't bring anything to unpack anyways.
That's right!
We'll still charge you rent, though.
If you rent, it's a win-win situation for the both of us.
Thank you so much!
Adding just a bit of red miso really gives it some kick!
I'm glad you like it!
So are you good at cooking?
Well, I love to cook.
Well if you want to earn quick money, food's the way to go.
Why don't you and Kido open up a food cart?
A food cart?
There's a black market right there full of people.
You can sell sake and cheap snacks under the table.
You'll have to give your regards to the boss, but I can put a word or two in for you.
How about vegetable tempura?
Vegetable tempura?
We can sell vegetable tempura.
That sounds like a winner!
And it's filling, too!
I can taste it already!
Give it a shot!
Black Market
May
How about it folks!
Fresh out the pan!
Welcome!
On break from the shop?
I ran out of "gasoline" again!
Can you fill me up?
Of course.
Howdy, Professor Tsukamoto!
We delivered those books you ordered.
Is that right? Thank you!
Here you go.
Thank you!
You ain't doin' too shabby!
We owe it all to you!
Damn right, it's thanks to me.
How about a drink on the house?
Forget it!
Just pay the rent, that's all I need.
Help yourself.
Well, I guess I will then!
You're still wearing the veil?
I feel a little embarassed...
Look at that old man!
He used to be a law professor at Keijou Imperial University.
Former Imperial University professor Tsukamoto Teruo
He's hawking all those old clothes just so he can eat, even though he looks like a bum himself.
At night, he's busy writing theses.
Some leftovers from today.
Thank you, as usual!
Do you need some help?
Don't be silly! You must be exhausted!
No, no, I'm fine!
Well, you do look well.
You're so pretty we can't even recognize you!
Why thank you!
Who knew you'd be so successful running a business?
I'm slowly starting to enjoy it.
But we're running out of flour and oil... They don't taste as good as they could.
Don't be ridiculous! They're plenty good to fill a stomach!
These are scrumptious!
Really?
Kido.
Yes?
Do you know why I decided to take you in?
Not really...
It's atonement.
Atonement?
I educated my fellow Koreans in the "Japanese" way...
I banned the Korean language and forced you all to take Japanese names.
I taught you to bow in the direction of the Imperial Palace every morning...
and revere His Majesty, the Emperor.
That was just how things were.
You received your training and became a Japanese soldier.
So many of you were shipped off to the southern seas to die.
Looking back, it gives me the chills.
It's not your fault, Mr. Itou.
It's the fault of the fools who started the war.
Look at you, talking big!
You haven't registered as husband and wife yet?
Well, we entered the country illegally.
What a nuisance... All this nationality and family registration nonsense.
My husband says he'll ask a politician for help...
In the last election, 39 women were elected to the Diet.
Men and women have equal rights, so I think women will have it better off now.
You're probably right.
But Koreans don't have the right to vote.
They drag our parents over here, but when the war's over we're all aliens again.
I'm sorry.
Don't be! It wasn't directed at you!
Don't force yourself to be Japanese.
I feel sorry for Tomoko, but if you try too hard, you'll burn yourself out.
Actually, me and the wife haven't registered either.
I've got a real wife and kids...
She just hasn't agreed to the divorce yet.
I had no idea.
At this point it's an endurance contest.
I just gotta keep my mouth shut and wait.
Don't use so much soup! It costs 20 yen!
Another outage!?
Watch out! They'll steal our shoes!
July
Two orders of vegetable tempura and one order of shaved ice!
That'll be seven yen.
Thank you.
Seven yen? That's too much!
Make it one yen!
I know about you two...
You're not registered, right?
You wouldn't be Koreans, would you?
I looked at the ration book...
For some reason, there's only one household registered under Meiji Bookstore.
If you don't want others hearing about it, you better let me have that for free.
Here you go.
Why thank you!
I'll start comin' everyday now!
Out the way, old man!
You're extorting them, aren't you?
If you spread rumors, I'll tell them you were extorting them.
How dare you accuse me!
I was watching... You didn't pay anything.
Goddammit...
Just take the money, dammit!
Damn Koreans... You'll regret this!
Honey!
Let him go!
I'm home!
Honey?
Welcome home.
What is all this?
I'm making medicine.
Medicine?
If you mix this with iodine tincture, it turns into a wonderful enamel.
And then what?
I'll sell it to the pharmacy.
It's nothing strange, is it...?
Don't worry!
I learned it from a medical student.
Stop!
Why?
We can't be working food carts the rest of our lives.
We live miserably and work to death, but we never turn a profit!
There's nothing we can do right now...
At least there's food on the table.
Getting married and having children requires money!
We have to think of something new and make money!
So should amateurs like you be making medicine then?
What about the night market?
Nobody there has a business permit!
And being Korean, there's no good jobs to be had.
What happens if we get sick?
If we're gonna survive in this country, we need to earn money!
We have to get a little greedy!
Are you...
What is it?
What is it!
Are you regretting coming to Japan?
What?
If anyone's having regrets, it's you!
A Korean like me must be a huge burden!
Of course not!
I would never think that in a thousand years!
I was finally enjoying the food cart because we were together...
You're all I have left.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
You're all I've got, too.
August
Hey, hey! The police are coming!
We will now expose illegal business operations
Everybody needs to move out!
Over my dead body!
You're going to violate our right to live?
We will immediately arrest anyone who prevents the execution of the law!
No, you can't!
My children are waiting for me!
This is oppression!
Honey!
Professor Tsukamoto!
Stop!
You can't risk it!
September
Hello!
Tomoko!
Welcome home!
I made some money! Look!
Our clients are growing by the day!
Luck's finally on our side!
You're still worried?
Mrs. Itou taught me about a wife's know-how.
A wife's know-how?
When the husband tries to steal something, the wife keeps an eye out for the police.
That's a real husband and wife.
Wait, wait... I can't believe this!
I'm not a thief!
It's just an analogy!
Tomoko?
Let's have a wedding, just the two of us...
Wedding?
Even if we never register as married, we can still exchange vows!
And then we'll take wedding pictures!
If we send them to my mother, I know she'll be happy!
After all, it's been half a year since we arrived here!
What's wrong?
I'm so happy I could die!
Don't be ridiculous!
I, Kido Shinji, take Yoshie Tomoko to be my wedded wife from this day forward.
I, Yoshie Tomoko, take Kido Shinji to be my wedded husband from this day forward.
September 22, 1946.
Husband, Kido...
Rather, Yoshie Shunji.
Wife, Yoshie Tomoko.
Mr. Groom, loosen up a little...
And the bride...
Nice and wide...
Look right here.
Okay, cheese!
Honey!
There's an American jeep outside!
Mr. Itou!
What is it, so early in the morning!
Good morning.
What's this about?
We're police.
There's someone else living here...
Alias Yoshie Shunji, real name Boku Shunjin.
And how can I help you?
Bring him here.
He's still sleeping.
You can't wake him up?
Well, it'd be nice to know what I'm waking him up for.
You're going to prevent us from performing our duty?
Two police officers, not in uniform.
Got it.
Hurry up and run!
Keep your cool!
I'm the landlord, he's the tenant.
You rented it out to him knowing he was Korean?
Is it a crime to be Korean?
Quit the backtalk!
Are you Boku Shunjin?
How can I help you?
Don't play dumb.
Will you come peacefully or do you want the cuffs?
On suspicion of what?
Illegal entry and residence in the country.
Very well then.
Don't give up!
Thank you.
Honey!
What about breakfast?
There's no need... This shouldn't take long.
Where are you going?
Gojou Higashi Police Station.
I'm coming, too!
And you are?
She's just a friend.
A mistress?
Mistress!?
Mr. Itou!
You don't need to come... We'll talk with you later.
Let's go.
Don't go!
Stay outta this!
Honey!
Kyoto Prefectural Police, Gojou Higashi Station
What is your nationality?
Up until last year, I was Japanese.
And what are you now?
I consider myself Japanese.
Cut the shit!
You're Korean!
Why do you claim to be Japanese?
I've been Japanese from the moment I was born.
I was barred from speaking Korean and was taught Japanese.
I worshipped His Majesty the Emperor and bowed to the Imperial Palace every morning.
I was commandeered as a "volunteer soldier" for the Imperial Army.
Where were you stationed?
Korean Military Police, Daejeon Regional Unit.
Police Sgt. Kido Shunji.
Military police, huh?
You've worked me so hard to be Japanese...
but now you call me a foreigner?
Recess!
Mr. Policeman?
What is it?
Is there any way I can see my husband?
Not until the interrogation is over.
Put your seal here.
Come now... You aren't his wife!
We're husband and wife.
The government considers you strangers.
We aren't strangers.
Then make it "common-law wife."
But to marry a Korean of all people...
When I first met him, he was Japanese.
He's Korean now.
My husband will request citizenship.
That's impossible.
Why?
He's Korean and a criminal.
He can never become a citizen.
My husband's a criminal!?
Illegal entry, illegal residence, illegal manufacture of drugs...
And that's not all.
He's got ideological issues, too.
How did you obtain those chemicals?
You think it's fine for some kook to concoct bogus medicine?
Hm?
You thought it was okay to sell it without a permit?
It's not bogus, it's to help people.
Give me a break.
Everything's in disorder because of the war... There's not enough food or medicine right now!
We can't survive by obeying the law!
We aren't taking about the state of the nation... A crime is a crime!
Quit talking big!
You came to our country, and made big bucks deceiving our people...
Who deceived who?
Who marched into my country 36 years ago and made it theirs?
Not only did you trample our homeland...
You ended up destroying the lives of millions of your own people!
Who brought living hell to Koreans and Japanese alike...
and robbed everyone of their happiness?
We're not talkin' politics here, buster!
I'm begging you!
Grant me the right to live in this country!
We're done for the day!
Please!
You little...
Tomoko!
You have five minutes.
Are you eating properly?
Yeah, I'm eating.
Are you alright?
Yes.
I've been dying to see you.
Me too.
Thank you for the things.
But don't overdo it.
Is there anything you want?
I'm fine... Don't worry about me.
Look at this.
What a wonderful picture...
The police told me it's not good enough to be proof that we're married.
Even without proof, we're still husband and wife.
Right?
Yes.
Honey...
Lawyer?
Professor Tsukamoto will take up your case.
What's wrong?
There may not be a trial.
They're letting you go?
No...
It's too early to tell.
Mr. Itou says everyone will petition to let you free!
Thanks.
You've got a lot of friends, so don't give up!
How can I give up?
With you here, I couldn't be happier.
I feel the same way...
I see you in my dreams every night.
Even if they send me back to Korea, I'll make my way back to Japan.
So don't move in with your relatives...
No matter how tough it gets, don't leave Kyoto.
I promise to come back.
Okay.
No matter when or where, I will always love you.
Me too.
That's not good news!
If there's no trial, then it's almost certain he'll be deported!
We have to act now!
That's exactly right!
We must take action immediately!
Action?
First, we need to negotiate with the Ministry of Home Affairs and petition the GHQ...
I'll follow up with people I know high up and see what I can do.
Don't worry... Things'll work out.
Here for another visit, huh?
Yes.
Boku Shunjin's no longer here.
He's been transferred to Sasebo.
Sasebo in Kyushu!
Sorry, hon.
Wait!
Where in Sasebo?
I can't tell you that.
Tell me!
I'm not obligated to.
Please, tell me!
You're one annoying lady!
He's at the foreigner detention camp!
Why is he over there...?
Who cares!
Hario Detention Center, Sasebo
Boku Shunjin?
Yes... He was transferred from Kyoto.
And you are?
I'm his wife.
Please let me see him!
Boku Shunjin was handed over to the Americans.
The Americans?
He'll be deported.
The ship's about to leave Hariojima right now.
Hey, wait!
Shunji...
