Maruta 3 ... Destroy all Evidence (1994) - full transcript
During the shut down and destruction of the Japanese test camp Squadron 731 in Manchuria, a soldier becomes infected with a virus developed during the camp's testing and risks spreading it into Japan on the train ride home.
1933, injection unit of kanda
normally known as troop of saiholi
in harbin, they set up
"research academy of germs"
and was coded as troop 731
there were a number of
doctors and scientists
they were all ordered
by Japanese government
to perform experiments with living human,
including Chinese, Korean and Mongolians
they called these people "muruda''
these poor people had
to undergo all deadly games
for example, they used mice to bite
and see the level of mice
biting on living people
or to see the response
of killing with all kinds of germs
or to see the symptoms of syphilis on women
anyway, experimenting
on killing people alive
is cruel and cold-blooded
in 1945, the allied declared war to Japan,
us armies captured okinawa island
and with the atomic bomb on Hiroshima,
and Russian armies marching to manchuria
troop 731 was forced to disintegrate
and retreat to Japan suddenly
In the morning of 9th of August
Russian armies suddenly declared war
to our Japanese empire
our armies in peony lake
have resisted bravely
but, the swift progress of
Russian armies from outer Mongolia
seem to be able to
arrive new capital before the 14th
lieutenant general saiholi,
your troop 731
must pass through
new capital before this, got it?
Yes, general, you needn't worry
we'll definitely pass through new capital
before occupation of Russian armies
even our enemies must blow up the train,
we must still drive on as the schedule
in case we can't pass through,
we will fight with spurs
the worst that we commit suicide
to keep our secret
right, you should let everybody understand
we must be alert to stop
penetration of spies
as we're in critical moment
and from information we have in hand
as German germ research centre
has completely been taken over by Russian
and as we've been
exchanging information with German
thus, the progress of our research unit
is exposed too
I understand this, general
if Russian people get
hold of this information
they'll surely try
to clear this secret
the responsibility of troop 731
is to change location,
and you troop 100 is to...
We even release all horses
used for experiments
to pass on plague and others
to Chinese and Russian as presents
right
besides Germany,
usa is also studying about warfare of germs
but in fact, the only country manages
to make a bomb of germs
there is only we, Japan empire
so at this critical moment of the empire
being members of troop 731
and commanding unit of kanda
and also from Japanese government,
we order you to be alert
and you must proudly...
Keep this a secret, understand?
Yes!
Ready to shoot!
Your majesty, long live!
Shoot!
Remember, troop 731 of kanda manchuria
will forever be a secret...
Whoever reveals anything
will result the same way
What is your name?
Shobu akiyama
and you?
Shola ito
kasai Yamada
llo shinshima
it's said he belongs to your autopsy class
yes, but he's traitor of our nakita chome
These are canons of Russian,
they'll arrive here in 3 days
this is the final moment
of sacred war of big east Asia
for his majasty victory,
we'll change location
we'll pass through manchuria,
Korea and back to Japan
we must have everything destroyed
before we leave
yes!
Hello... is this tunghwa? Hello!
Please pass me to governor house of
tunghwa, I want saeko matsushita
hello... saeko? Your sister speaking
how is your situation there?
Louder please, saeko!
Dr. leko, I'm calling up my sister
don't you know rules of troop 731
yes!
We mustn't contact outside
in any circumstances
- yes!
- No matter who he is!
And no matter what it is!
But Russian armies are coming here
take it easy
don't forget your duty
you are now to give medicine
to all injured members
yes!
Arsenic?
No, I can't give them this
this is order of lieutenant general saiholi
no, they mustn't die, we're doctors.
We should take them all along with us
bullshit!
Yes!
- Don't move!
- How do you feel?
How do you feel, to?
This place is full of
plague germs, be careful
no, no way, we must leave at once
no, I won't leave
go away! Nat
quick, this way!
Come this way
How is he?
He...
He was injured carelessly by a hammer
watch out! It's fatal
if it's infected by germs
yes
move on!
Report...
We should make use of this special weapon
to set up a dead line
for our furious enemies
good, shinshima, do it well
yes
Where's akiyama?
Report deputy kameda
he's seeing kenji Olin, who has had
appendix removal operation just then
he's not yet back
nut, what time it is!
He leaves his post now?
Inform him when he's back,
tonight we have to change location
only 2 pieces of luggage allowed,
no withdrawal of cash
yes!
My fellows
you're now going back to Japan
being captain of troop 731 of kanda,
I must remind you
first, when you're back to Japan,
you are not to reveal secret
of troop 731 whoever he is
second, you mustn't have
any contact with each other
third, you are never allowed
to take up civil servant post
if anyone reveals secret of troop 731
I will find him
wherever he is hiding
and kill him at once!
Start!
Is he ill?
No... just influenza
I have aspirin
take some now.
Thanks.
Hey, which team are you in?
Is there anyone from fuyo exploring team?
Yamada, you must bear in mind...
Leave me alone
Yamada, take it easy
leave me alone!
My dad and sister are both in the team
I can't leave alone
have you seen my parents?
I'm Yamada from shiba
prefecture, do you hear?
Don't be like this
you want to die?
Keep calm
can the hear even if you shout like this?
What if they can?
Not only your parents
there're millions of Japanese
who join exploring teams to manchuria
do you know?
I know, they won't hear me
but I...
Yamada
Yamada
ito...
Ito...
Ito...
Ito...
Ito... wake up...
Sorry, don't blame me!
How is he?
Ito!
Where are you going?
I'll go and find Dr. leko,
ito seems to be infected with plague
you mustn't go.
Why?
He must go back to Japan
he's like us, he must go back
to shiba prefecture, understand?
But he'll infect all of us here
we mustn't let the whole
train ruined by him
if you dare report, I'll kill you
don't save me
if I'm really infected, I...
Ito, are you afraid?
Ito, you must live on
I'm not afraid
Look, I left this in nanjing
I just fear to be captured by manchurian
Bullshit!
Jump off, now!
The manchurian driver has run away
Stand there!
Catch him alive
Stand there!
Nut, dare you insult Japanese?
Japanese, you...
Yamada...
Let me kill you, dare you run away!
Get up!
Hold it! Watch me!
It's ok, you'll recover soon
Vaccine for typhoid fever
Move!
Is there anyone driving? No one is driving?
How come? Not only him,
we have our own driver!
- Where is that guy?
- Got rid of already.
He's dead?
That guy has become a timing bomb
has he become source of epidemic?
I just want this effect.
Our driver!
Why? You have pity on that manchurian?
I don't, but I have pity on myself
on yourself?
What do you mean?
We've just left hq of 731
but his train becomes the second hq
you're right, 731 is a pride of the empire
731 is 731.
I don't understand
why you few must get hold together?
We're from the same village,
we've grown up together
don't you know members of 731
are all from shiba prefecture?
But if you must take ito along,
then not only will die
he's not the first one actually
in order to study these germs,
more than 300 of our men have died
you know how many maruta have
we killed to experiment on these germs?
Chinese, Korean...
They're material for
experimenting, you know?
No, they're human being!
Remember, they're material for
experimenting, they're maruta
yes, they're maruta
you must bear in mind:
They're not human but maruta
What did you just say?
I said they're not material
say again!
Aren't they not the same with you?
They also have parents and families
forget it, akiyama
if they're human being, then we are beasts
as we are both doing killings and things
report, someone is sick
in the compartment in front
Where's ito?
Sir
How is he?
He has flu
is it contagious disease?
No.
Ok, sorry
Look at that man
what?
Don't come! Don't get near!
I... I was injected with bacteria...
What is this?
This is food of manchuria, very delicious
what is this? No...
What happens to you?
What is this?
This is heart
no!
This is a heart - give me
you did it? You did it too?
Autopsy on live body?
This is good
ito, we have no choice
Who is it?
It's me, leko
Everybody get up
We have just received the latest news
in order to save our people
and to safeguard that our holy land
won't be involved in war
his majesty has announced this order:
He announced to receive bostan
and Cairo declaration
Japanese empire will
surrender unconditionally
No way, impossible!
No... we mustn't surrender
We haven't lost the war
no, we mustn't surrender
we Japanese empire will never lose
My fellows, we troop 731 of kanda manchuria
will never put down our weapons
as what we safeguard is
the most classified
secret of Japanese empire
from now on, whoever put down his weapon
will be regarded as national traitor
yes!
Akiyama, is this suitable?
Why not?
It's his majesty who surrendered, not us!
Right, a soldier is not a soldier
if he puts down his weapons
don't you claim to be loyal to his majesty?
We don't want to die innocently
you might have a chance to live on
if you put down your weapons
you
I just suspect if you are a Japanese!
Forget it!
Tama...
Don't blame akiyama, he's right to worry
in nanjing...
When the Chinese armies surrendered
we... we killed every of them, now...
Ito...
- How are you now?
- Ito...
Give him injection now!
Hurry!
Assemble at once!
- Ito!
- Assemble at once!
Take care of ito, ok?
Yes
thanks
Put up your weapons
put them down!
My fellows, we're ordered
to rush past new capital tonight
even if we confront attack, we won't stop
in case we fail to rush past,
we'll fight with spurs
anyhow,
we mustn't let the enemies
find out we're troop 731
even if the worst should happen
you must commit suicide to safeguard
the most classified secret
report!
Go ahead!
What if Russian haven't
occupied new capital?
Nut!
Yes!
Even if it is not occupied,
we must be prepared
in this critical moment, we must be alert
from now on, all compartment
must supply its own need
within one hour, in a radius of 20 miles
we must defend if we are attacked,
got it?
Yes!
Tama, go and eat something
Tama, are you still angry with me?
Sorry, it's all because of the war
the war is over
Forget it, surrender is surrender
it's not only my insult
Tama, don't be mad with me
water.
Akiyama, come here
drink water
Akiyama, try some, see how it is!
I can't believe you have such good wine
let me have a look
it's "general"
good wine
I think we'd better drink it only
when we get back to Japan
right, we should keep good things aside
keep it?
If Russian occupy new
capital, we'll be over
as long as those guys have arrived,
we can not only survive
but drink this "general" as well
shall we bet?
What's the use with betting?
We might live on
yeah
ok, we shall drink this
when we're back to Japan
What? We must fight?
What's on?
We might have to rush
through new capital with arms tonight
let's eat then
come on
come on
let him eat more, or it'll be too late
What are you doing?
Ito should take medicine
ito, take medicine
Listen, they're Japanese
this way
Nobody is to move!
Akimana, let them get in
without order, no one is to open the doors
this is troop of 731,
not train for refugees
are you human? Don't you
know they're Japanese?
Yamada
Yamada, you are wrong again
You think you're sympathetic
just to let them up?
Look at ito
you want these poor Japanese
to be infected with plague?
Yamada
Yamada, it's all because of me...
Ito - Yamada
ito!
Why shout? Though we lost in the war
don't forget we're the top-grade Japanese
we must keep the order
Yamada, I'm sorry
it's ok
Just go to sleep
it's our luck as Russian
haven't arrived new capital yet
we might never sleep if we don't sleep now
New capital is capital
of manchurian kingdom,
how come it's like this?
We've come at the wrong time
Why isn't the train moving?
There're battles ahead
when will the train start?
No idea
Akiyama, what's in your mind?
I think 731 is really masters of the empire
then they should protect us
These days, wherever we go, battles follows
there's only one explanation
whoever our enemies are, Chinese, Russian,
they just want to block us
731 is the secret everyone wants to reveal
Akiyama, what do you want?
I want to go in town to get medicine
go in town?
Can... can you?
I'll try
ok, do come back early,
it's bad if we lose you
didn't you hear the sentry
said there's battle ahead?
It's still quite far away,
don't worry - akiyama
you are here? I've been looking for you
ito is in bad condition, what shall we do?
Don't worry, we will have a way
Stand there!
He looks like Japanese
no, move on!
What do you want?
Carbonic arsenate, sulfadiazine
and streptomycin, etc
usually Chinese buy these, never Japanese
never even soldiers buy these medicine!
Yeah, please, sir!
Wait a while
You come from huang lung province?
No, why?
It's said huang lung province is infected
with plague, thousands of people died
huang lung province?
Attention, our mission this time is...
Plague of blood type,
location: Huang lung province
This is land of Chinese, not Japanese
take the medicine and go home
Thanks
Akiyama... what are you doing?
Are you mad?
Akiyama, what are you doing?
This is all precious information
you saved from the fire
you know? We have them too!
Akiyama, you mustn't destroy them
Ruining them means ruining us!
What... what have we done?
Look right
look ahead
my fellows, the situation has changed
commanding unit has
decided to send a contacting team
to tunghwa to assist our
division to retreat
you all know,
tunghwa is at the frontier of manchuria
it will be occupied any time by
Russian or anti-Japan guerrilla
so each compartment must send one along,
of course he must be voluntary
Can't anyone walk up to
work for the country?
Ok, I'll call our names
kasai Yamada
Walk up
what are you waiting?
Yamada, are you a soldier?
Where' your spirit?
You want to go to court martial?
Report, ito shinshima will take part
Come, drink a bit
why do that's?
As one of us must go!
It's fate
come, just for my farewell
please
I won't drink then
shinshima, I'm so sorry
Yamada, don't say anymore
no, you won't walk out if not for me
we all know going to
tunghwa now means dying
I don't want to die, I won't to live on
I hope you can understand
I understand...
I understand...
Everyone wants to survive
I'm an orphan, I have nothing to worry,
so I walked out
Why say this? Come on, let's drink
come on, drink
drink
let's drink
shinshima, may I drink some too?
Tama!
Thanks
Thanks
hope you can come back safely.
Thanks
This is my sister, saeko
she's typist at government house,
I hope you can find her
please
don't worry
saeko
yes - someone wants you
Where?
Look, it's him
How are you?
Fine
miss saeko
I'm kasai Yamada,
your sister tama sends me to see you
how is my sister?
She's fine, but misses you very much
I miss her too
she called me days ago,
but the line was cut before I answered
maybe it's because...
Why?
Miss saeko, I come first to see you
and second, I am to take you away
take me away?
Right, take you back to Japan
no, I must wait for my sister here
no, your sister is following the troop,
she can't come
it's dangerous
for you to stay here
it's only safe if you leave manchuria
you mean we have to go to Korea?
Korea belongs to Japan, it's well protected
ok, I'll go to Korea to meet my sister
terrific, I must thank you,
when shall we go to Korea?
The troop is setting off tomorrow morning,
I'll pick you up this evening
but...
You mustn't let anyone know, ok?
Yes, I see, thanks a lot!
We're setting off tomorrow on time,
via chion and into Korea
yes
check carefully about everyone's weapons
as we're to fight at any time
fight?
Right, though his majesty has surrendered
we must be
secretly armed
got it?
Yes
wait for me here, don't let anyone see you
yes
shinshima...
Yamada, where's saeko? Hasn't she come?
She's come, look, over there
go and take her here
hey, catch the time
shinshima...
Shinshima...
This is shinshima
thank you
miss saeko,
no time to introduce
we're setting off soon,
you might suffer on the way so you must...
Aren't we setting off tomorrow morning?
The situation has changed,
we must leave tunghwa at once
why?
This afternoon,
Democratic allied sent representatives
to talk with us
they gave us severe conditions
they ordered us to hand out
all weapons and facilities but we refused
what shall we do?
You must hide miss saeko now
it'll be safe when we arrive Korea
Stand there!
Who is she?
Report, she sister of our colleague
so we want...
Nut, someone come!
Take her away!
No...
What's on?
Yamada, shinshima, help me
we rely on you, please
I want to see my sister - nut!
Let me go...
No, yamaha
Why are you here?
Go away
Yamad... wake up! Yamada...
Yamada... how are you?
Wake up!
Yamada!
Wake up!
I can't go back now
Yamada...
I really regret... coming to China
Yamada...
Saeko, leave this place quick!
Leave troop of 731, the farther the better
go away, run for life
Yamada!
Tama, where's medicine?
Tama, why don't you give him injection?
It'll be a waste now
We need you, you mustn't get infected
Ito!
Ito!
Ito!
It's plague
Since one is dead,
many people must have been infected
we must take immediate measures
or this train will become a dead train
Tama, your compartment must be isolated
the whole train must be isolated instead
what do you mean?
You should know,
there're enough germs to destroy
the whole of far east on this train
but the first infected person
was found in your compartment
I've given injection to all of them
have you injected everyone on the train?
But I must...
What we must do
is to rid the source of epidemic
tama, you have dangerous thoughts!
I was told in medical books!
Tama, you seem to be sick
it's flu
ok, I trust you, take care
thanks
Must they be isolated?
No need
Report, we found plague on the train
You must take them all back
leaving one behind brings
danger of revealing the secret
taking them all back will prevent this
order: All members
must have injection, no excuse
all samples of germs must be disposed of
germs of typhoid fever, plague, cholera
must be thrown away
Go ahead!
Where to?
Along the track
Japanese refugees are along the track!
There're even
more Chinese and Russian soldiers!
Yes
open the door
Throw them all away
no, you mustn't do this
this is order
No... akiyama
listen, you're seriously sick
don't try hard
Ito is dead, and we have no
news of shinshima and Yamada
you mustn't leave me
I'm afraid
I'm afraid
you Japanese are afraid?
You?
What do you mean?
L... I'm not Japanese, I'm Korean
I was sold to Japan when I was 6
mon...
Sister...
Mon...
Mon!
General!
Kameda, hard time for you
hard time for you!
We'll be arriving Pusan
soon, you need a rest
yes
we must let our soldiers be
alert to return to Japan
yes
but the train must stop at the suburb,
it's a chaos in town
yes
Hurry...
Shinshimal!
Akiyama!
Shinshimal!
- Shinshima!
- Akiyamal!
Shinshima, you're back?
Shinshima, how are you?
Akiyama, Yamada, he...
Yamada!
Yamada!
Still awake?
And you?
I can't sleep
what's in your mind now?
You are right
what we must do
is to rid the source of epidemic
but you're the creator of germs!
Yeah
we... we're troop of evil!
Get you weapons!
Be ready for fight!
Rub them all off - yes
There's a survivor here!
Nut!
You are nut!
Nut, come here!
We were attacked in manchuria,
now in Korea too,
we are just mice to them!
Where's tama?
Tama!
Tama!
Have you seen tama matsushita?
No!
Tama!
Tama matsushita!
Akiyama, have you found her?
Has she been captured by Korean guerrilla?
Over there!
Tama, tama matsushita!
I've come!
Tama...
Tama, I've come, why did you come there?
I must go home, I want to find mom
you're seriously ill,
you'll die if stay here
I must die in my homeland
don't be afraid, we've medicine
on the train, we'll heal you
leave me alone...
It's 18 years, I can't
tell others I'm Korean
I can't see mom,
I'm not human being
tama...
- Leave me alone...
- Tama, you're mad!
Tama, we can't live without you
tama...
Report!
Go ahead
nurse tama matsushita of our troop
is infected with plague,
we need you advice
Tama...
Mon, I'm back
leave me alone
tama!
Mon, I am back!
Tama... leave me alone
Akiyama
All members of 731, when
you go back to Japan
first,
you mustn't reveal secret of 731 to anyone
second, you mustn't contact each other
third, you must never
take up civil servant post!

He leaves his post now?
Inform him when he's back,
tonight we have to change location
only 2 pieces of luggage allowed,
no withdrawal of cash
yes!
My fellows
you're now going back to Japan
being captain of troop 731 of kanda,
I must remind you
first, when you're back to Japan,
you are not to reveal secret
of troop 731 whoever he is
second, you mustn't have
any contact with each other
third, you are never allowed
to take up civil servant post
if anyone reveals secret of troop 731
I will find him
wherever he is hiding
and kill him at once!
Start!
Is he ill?
No... just influenza
I have aspirin
take some now.
Thanks.
Hey, which team are you in?
Is there anyone from fuyo exploring team?
Yamada, you must bear in mind...
Leave me alone
Yamada, take it easy
leave me alone!
My dad and sister are both in the team
I can't leave alone
have you seen my parents?
I'm Yamada from shiba
prefecture, do you hear?
Don't be like this
you want to die?
Keep calm
can the hear even if you shout like this?
What if they can?
Not only your parents
there're millions of Japanese
who join exploring teams to manchuria
do you know?
I know, they won't hear me
but I...
Yamada
Yamada
ito...
Ito...
Ito...
Ito...
Ito... wake up...
Sorry, don't blame me!
How is he?
Ito!
Where are you going?
I'll go and find Dr. leko,
ito seems to be infected with plague
you mustn't go.
Why?
He must go back to Japan
he's like us, he must go back
to shiba prefecture, understand?
But he'll infect all of us here
we mustn't let the whole
train ruined by him
if you dare report, I'll kill you
don't save me
if I'm really infected, I...
Ito, are you afraid?
Ito, you must live on
I'm not afraid
Look, I left this in nanjing
I just fear to be captured by manchurian
Bullshit!
Jump off, now!
The manchurian driver has run away
Stand there!
Catch him alive
Stand there!
Nut, dare you insult Japanese?
Japanese, you...
Yamada...
Let me kill you, dare you run away!
Get up!
Hold it! Watch me!
It's ok, you'll recover soon
Vaccine for typhoid fever
Move!
Is there anyone driving? No one is driving?
How come? Not only him,
we have our own driver!
- Where is that guy?
- Got rid of already.
He's dead?
That guy has become a timing bomb
has he become source of epidemic?
I just want this effect.
Our driver!
Why? You have pity on that manchurian?
I don't, but I have pity on myself
on yourself?
What do you mean?
We've just left hq of 731
but his train becomes the second hq
you're right, 731 is a pride of the empire
731 is 731.
I don't understand
why you few must get hold together?
We're from the same village,
we've grown up together
don't you know members of 731
are all from shiba prefecture?
But if you must take ito along,
then not only will die
he's not the first one actually
in order to study these germs,
more than 300 of our men have died
you know how many maruta have
we killed to experiment on these germs?
Chinese, Korean...
They're material for
experimenting, you know?
No, they're human being!
Remember, they're material for
experimenting, they're maruta
yes, they're maruta
you must bear in mind:
They're not human but maruta
What did you just say?
I said they're not material
say again!
Aren't they not the same with you?
They also have parents and families
forget it, akiyama
if they're human being, then we are beasts
as we are both doing killings and things
report, someone is sick
in the compartment in front
Where's ito?
Sir
How is he?
He has flu
is it contagious disease?
No.
Ok, sorry
Look at that man
what?
Don't come! Don't get near!
I... I was injected with bacteria...
What is this?
This is food of manchuria, very delicious
what is this? No...
What happens to you?
What is this?
This is heart
no!
This is a heart - give me
you did it? You did it too?
Autopsy on live body?
This is good
ito, we have no choice
Who is it?
It's me, leko
Everybody get up
We have just received the latest news
in order to save our people
and to safeguard that our holy land
won't be involved in war
his majesty has announced this order:
He announced to receive bostan
and Cairo declaration
Japanese empire will
surrender unconditionally
No way, impossible!
No... we mustn't surrender
We haven't lost the war
no, we mustn't surrender
we Japanese empire will never lose
My fellows, we troop 731 of kanda manchuria
will never put down our weapons
as what we safeguard is
the most classified
secret of Japanese empire
from now on, whoever put down his weapon
will be regarded as national traitor
yes!
Akiyama, is this suitable?
Why not?
It's his majesty who surrendered, not us!
Right, a soldier is not a soldier
if he puts down his weapons
don't you claim to be loyal to his majesty?
We don't want to die innocently
you might have a chance to live on
if you put down your weapons
you
I just suspect if you are a Japanese!
Forget it!
Tama...
Don't blame akiyama, he's right to worry
in nanjing...
When the Chinese armies surrendered
we... we killed every of them, now...
Ito...
- How are you now?
- Ito...
Give him injection now!
Hurry!
Assemble at once!
- Ito!
- Assemble at once!
Take care of ito, ok?
Yes
thanks
Put up your weapons
put them down!
My fellows, we're ordered
to rush past new capital tonight
even if we confront attack, we won't stop
in case we fail to rush past,
we'll fight with spurs
anyhow,
we mustn't let the enemies
find out we're troop 731
even if the worst should happen
you must commit suicide to safeguard
the most classified secret
report!
Go ahead!
What if Russian haven't
occupied new capital?
Nut!
Yes!
Even if it is not occupied,
we must be prepared
in this critical moment, we must be alert
from now on, all compartment
must supply its own need
within one hour, in a radius of 20 miles
we must defend if we are attacked,
got it?
Yes!
Tama, go and eat something
Tama, are you still angry with me?
Sorry, it's all because of the war
the war is over
Forget it, surrender is surrender
it's not only my insult
Tama, don't be mad with me
water.
Akiyama, come here
drink water
Akiyama, try some, see how it is!
I can't believe you have such good wine
let me have a look
it's "general"
good wine
I think we'd better drink it only
when we get back to Japan
right, we should keep good things aside
keep it?
If Russian occupy new
capital, we'll be over
as long as those guys have arrived,
we can not only survive
but drink this "general" as well
shall we bet?
What's the use with betting?
We might live on
yeah
ok, we shall drink this
when we're back to Japan
What? We must fight?
What's on?
We might have to rush
through new capital with arms tonight
let's eat then
come on
come on
let him eat more, or it'll be too late
What are you doing?
Ito should take medicine
ito, take medicine
Listen, they're Japanese
this way
Nobody is to move!
Akimana, let them get in
without order, no one is to open the doors
this is troop of 731,
not train for refugees
are you human? Don't you
know they're Japanese?
Yamada
Yamada, you are wrong again
You think you're sympathetic
just to let them up?
Look at ito
you want these poor Japanese
to be infected with plague?
Yamada
Yamada, it's all because of me...
Ito - Yamada
ito!
Why shout? Though we lost in the war
don't forget we're the top-grade Japanese
we must keep the order
Yamada, I'm sorry
it's ok
Just go to sleep
it's our luck as Russian
haven't arrived new capital yet
we might never sleep if we don't sleep now
New capital is capital
of manchurian kingdom,
how come it's like this?
We've come at the wrong time
Why isn't the train moving?
There're battles ahead
when will the train start?
No idea
Akiyama, what's in your mind?
I think 731 is really masters of the empire
then they should protect us
These days, wherever we go, battles follows
there's only one explanation
whoever our enemies are, Chinese, Russian,
they just want to block us
731 is the secret everyone wants to reveal
Akiyama, what do you want?
I want to go in town to get medicine
go in town?
Can... can you?
I'll try
ok, do come back early,
it's bad if we lose you
didn't you hear the sentry
said there's battle ahead?
It's still quite far away,
don't worry - akiyama
you are here? I've been looking for you
ito is in bad condition, what shall we do?
Don't worry, we will have a way
Stand there!
He looks like Japanese
no, move on!
What do you want?
Carbonic arsenate, sulfadiazine
and streptomycin, etc
usually Chinese buy these, never Japanese
never even soldiers buy these medicine!
Yeah, please, sir!
Wait a while
You come from huang lung province?
No, why?
It's said huang lung province is infected
with plague, thousands of people died
huang lung province?
Attention, our mission this time is...
Plague of blood type,
location: Huang lung province
This is land of Chinese, not Japanese
take the medicine and go home
Thanks
Akiyama... what are you doing?
Are you mad?
Akiyama, what are you doing?
This is all precious information
you saved from the fire
you know? We have them too!
Akiyama, you mustn't destroy them
Ruining them means ruining us!
What... what have we done?
Look right
look ahead
my fellows, the situation has changed
commanding unit has
decided to send a contacting team
to tunghwa to assist our
division to retreat
you all know,
tunghwa is at the frontier of manchuria
it will be occupied any time by
Russian or anti-Japan guerrilla
so each compartment must send one along,
of course he must be voluntary
Can't anyone walk up to
work for the country?
Ok, I'll call our names
kasai Yamada
Walk up
what are you waiting?
Yamada, are you a soldier?
Where' your spirit?
You want to go to court martial?
Report, ito shinshima will take part
Come, drink a bit
why do that's?
As one of us must go!
It's fate
come, just for my farewell
please
I won't drink then
shinshima, I'm so sorry
Yamada, don't say anymore
no, you won't walk out if not for me
we all know going to
tunghwa now means dying
I don't want to die, I won't to live on
I hope you can understand
I understand...
I understand...
Everyone wants to survive
I'm an orphan, I have nothing to worry,
so I walked out
Why say this? Come on, let's drink
come on, drink
drink
let's drink
shinshima, may I drink some too?
Tama!
Thanks
Thanks
hope you can come back safely.
Thanks
This is my sister, saeko
she's typist at government house,
I hope you can find her
please
don't worry
saeko
yes - someone wants you
Where?
Look, it's him
How are you?
Fine
miss saeko
I'm kasai Yamada,
your sister tama sends me to see you
how is my sister?
She's fine, but misses you very much
I miss her too
she called me days ago,
but the line was cut before I answered
maybe it's because...
Why?
Miss saeko, I come first to see you
and second, I am to take you away
take me away?
Right, take you back to Japan
no, I must wait for my sister here
no, your sister is following the troop,
she can't come
it's dangerous
for you to stay here
it's only safe if you leave manchuria
you mean we have to go to Korea?
Korea belongs to Japan, it's well protected
ok, I'll go to Korea to meet my sister
terrific, I must thank you,
when shall we go to Korea?
The troop is setting off tomorrow morning,
I'll pick you up this evening
but...
You mustn't let anyone know, ok?
Yes, I see, thanks a lot!
We're setting off tomorrow on time,
via chion and into Korea
yes
check carefully about everyone's weapons
as we're to fight at any time
fight?
Right, though his majesty has surrendered
we must be
secretly armed
got it?
Yes
wait for me here, don't let anyone see you
yes
shinshima...
Yamada, where's saeko? Hasn't she come?
She's come, look, over there
go and take her here
hey, catch the time
shinshima...
Shinshima...
This is shinshima
thank you
miss saeko,
no time to introduce
we're setting off soon,
you might suffer on the way so you must...
Aren't we setting off tomorrow morning?
The situation has changed,
we must leave tunghwa at once
why?
This afternoon,
Democratic allied sent representatives
to talk with us
they gave us severe conditions
they ordered us to hand out
all weapons and facilities but we refused
what shall we do?
You must hide miss saeko now
it'll be safe when we arrive Korea
Stand there!
Who is she?
Report, she sister of our colleague
so we want...
Nut, someone come!
Take her away!
No...
What's on?
Yamada, shinshima, help me
we rely on you, please
I want to see my sister - nut!
Let me go...
No, yamaha
Why are you here?
Go away
Yamad... wake up! Yamada...
Yamada... how are you?
Wake up!
Yamada!
Wake up!
I can't go back now
Yamada...
I really regret... coming to China
Yamada...
Saeko, leave this place quick!
Leave troop of 731, the farther the better
go away, run for life
Yamada!
Tama, where's medicine?
Tama, why don't you give him injection?
It'll be a waste now
We need you, you mustn't get infected
Ito!
Ito!
Ito!
It's plague
Since one is dead,
many people must have been infected
we must take immediate measures
or this train will become a dead train
Tama, your compartment must be isolated
the whole train must be isolated instead
what do you mean?
You should know,
there're enough germs to destroy
the whole of far east on this train
but the first infected person
was found in your compartment
I've given injection to all of them
have you injected everyone on the train?
But I must...
What we must do
is to rid the source of epidemic
tama, you have dangerous thoughts!
I was told in medical books!
Tama, you seem to be sick
it's flu
ok, I trust you, take care
thanks
Must they be isolated?
No need
Report, we found plague on the train
You must take them all back
leaving one behind brings
danger of revealing the secret
taking them all back will prevent this
order: All members
must have injection, no excuse
all samples of germs must be disposed of
germs of typhoid fever, plague, cholera
must be thrown away
Go ahead!
Where to?
Along the track
Japanese refugees are along the track!
There're even
more Chinese and Russian soldiers!
Yes
open the door
Throw them all away
no, you mustn't do this
this is order
No... akiyama
listen, you're seriously sick
don't try hard
Ito is dead, and we have no
news of shinshima and Yamada
you mustn't leave me
I'm afraid
I'm afraid
you Japanese are afraid?
You?
What do you mean?
L... I'm not Japanese, I'm Korean
I was sold to Japan when I was 6
mon...
Sister...
Mon...
Mon!
General!
Kameda, hard time for you
hard time for you!
We'll be arriving Pusan
soon, you need a rest
yes
we must let our soldiers be
alert to return to Japan
yes
but the train must stop at the suburb,
it's a chaos in town
yes
Hurry...
Shinshimal!
Akiyama!
Shinshimal!
- Shinshima!
- Akiyamal!
Shinshima, you're back?
Shinshima, how are you?
Akiyama, Yamada, he...
Yamada!
Yamada!
Still awake?
And you?
I can't sleep
what's in your mind now?
You are right
what we must do
is to rid the source of epidemic
but you're the creator of germs!
Yeah
we... we're troop of evil!
Get you weapons!
Be ready for fight!
Rub them all off - yes
There's a survivor here!
Nut!
You are nut!
Nut, come here!
We were attacked in manchuria,
now in Korea too,
we are just mice to them!
Where's tama?
Tama!
Tama!
Have you seen tama matsushita?
No!
Tama!
Tama matsushita!
Akiyama, have you found her?
Has she been captured by Korean guerrilla?
Over there!
Tama, tama matsushita!
I've come!
Tama...
Tama, I've come, why did you come there?
I must go home, I want to find mom
you're seriously ill,
you'll die if stay here
I must die in my homeland
don't be afraid, we've medicine
on the train, we'll heal you
leave me alone...
It's 18 years, I can't
tell others I'm Korean
I can't see mom,
I'm not human being
tama...
- Leave me alone...
- Tama, you're mad!
Tama, we can't live without you
tama...
Report!
Go ahead
nurse tama matsushita of our troop
is infected with plague,
we need you advice
Tama...
Mon, I'm back
leave me alone
tama!
Mon, I am back!
Tama... leave me alone
Akiyama
All members of 731, when
you go back to Japan
first,
you mustn't reveal secret of 731 to anyone
second, you mustn't contact each other
third, you must never
take up civil servant post!
