Farewell.

No!

No!

No!

PRISONER TERRORIST

How could this happen?

How did it I end up like this?

The mission went well.

Everything went according to the plan.

But I didn't manage to kill myself.

No! No! I should have been dead!

I can't take it!

Kill me now!

Whatever I'll do, it'll always end up this way! I'm too slow!

Kill me! Kill me!

I'm a revolutionary soldier!

Kill me now!

''LAWYER IS USELESS. DEATH PENALTY IN SIGHT''

''CRIMINAL ATTACK IN THE TRIBUNAL''

''CARRYING OUT OF THE FIRST STAGE OF A WORLDWIDE REVOLUTION''

Kill me!

''HE REFUSES A LAWYER AND DEMANDS THE DEATH PENALTY''

''HlS DEATH lS THE FlRST STEP TOWARDS THE WORLDWlDE REVOLUTlON''

Kill me, I beg you!

I...

I've joined the lnternational Revolutionary Army...

.. three months before the mission.

I submitted myself to three months of the toughest drills.

It was hard... but I was satisfied.

The landscape was exquisite.

Everything was wonderful.

The beauty of the landscape made us even more determined.

With our suicide mission we'll have demonstrated our intransigence.

We'll defeat imperialism.

Everything was...

.. too calm, too quiet...

.. too push a battle forward.

You know what's happening in Japan, don't you?

The suicide as a international propaganda tool still leaves to be desired.

What do you think? What's your opinion?

I think it's not a bad idea.

I'll go with your call.

You're too vague.

Then, I'm for suicide.

Then, this is our decision.

We were the multitasking operations party.

The second team had the task of hijacking a plane coming from Moscow

.. and crash into the airport's control tower.

But...

.. we changed our plan.

Two attacks against the same airport would have had a lesser impact.

Therefore we decided to hit a bigger target.

You're story doesn't seem too fake.

What happened then?

The other team chose the other option.

A ferry-boat on the Mediterranean Sea.

On the Athens route?

Exactly.

We decided to accomplish our mission in three months.

Allright, so the plan will be put into practice in a short time.

Thank you for having told us this.

We had promised you this. Take it.

Now, I can follow you.

How dare you?!

I trust people too much.

I always make this error.

But...

.. in anycase, itsaved me from making others.

I, a revolutionary soldier, have the right to die at an enemy's hand,

but not that of committing suicide.

Kill me! Kill me!

Kill me!

What do you want to do to me?

What do you want me to do?

Kill me! Kill me right now!

Raven, why are you crying?

Raven, why are you crying?

Your confession was a farce.

According to our agent's report...

.. you only talked about the possibility ofan alternative plan.

There was no actual plan.

Moreover, the airport attack was the only operation you had planned.

if you make us lose time with your little stories we'll have to treat more severely.

I'll pass you to the education team.

You could use their input.

I'll come regularly to check on you.

Kill me.

Kill me.

It hurts.

Hurts.

It hurts!

Kill me, please.

I beg you. Please, kill me.

It hurts.

It hurts.

It hurts.

It hurts. It hurts... It hurts.

It hurts. It hurts.

God, how much will your anger last?

Eternally... Eternally... Eternally...

Space is infinite, in terms of time and space

It's eternal, knows no boundaries.

It can'tbe divided.

Indifferent to living or non-living entities

to solids, liquids, gases..

Everything is reciprocally tied to what divides them.

Everything supports everything else.

if all celestial bodies would disappear...

3-dimensional space composed of length, height and depth,

indivisible, may still go on being.

I'm confused.

I'm turning into something I've never been.

I am exactly what you are imagining.

To out it this way, I am the essence of your revolutionary philosophy.

Imagine I'm one of the long term prisoners.

I'll be short.

Hear me out, don't be impatient.

You have just begun a long and continuous battle.

But the real battle hasn't begun just yet.

You're fighting against the torture of endless flowing time.

and that endures all.

This is the fundamental principle of revolution.

if you take yourself too seriously, as you are now doing,

you'll never defeat your enemy.

Therefore, always remember, the space is infinite...

.. and the eternity of a celestial body only exists into your head.

Consecrate yourself to this cause.

I'll come to see you a couple oftimes, so, be patient, and you'll succeed.

But...

There's nothing I can do in these circumstances.

Don't be like this.

Take advantage of this situation to further a revolution of the mind.

Take your time and think well about this.

No, for now I can't think about anything.

I understand...

Let's go back to the starting point.

The starting point?!

No matter what you do, the starting point is paramount.

I know what you must do today.

But try to get back to the starting point.

My starting point?! What do you mean?

I don't understand.

Listen.

Everyone's proof of existence is made through one's starting point.

Which is your starting point?

I've told you, I don't know.

I suspectyou don't.

These days, everyone is looking for themselves.

But that's not the way that will lead you to your starting point.

Asking oneself what one is implies wanting to be someone.

I'll give you a clue.

You are no one.

You are yourself.

Do your best to discover this.

He said ''l am myself"' so naturally...

Let me drink. You must let me drink.

Let me drink. I want to drink.

''When I drink... ''

''Now I'm drinking... ''

''Let's drink! Let's drink!''

Can't I die the way I am?

I'm turning into something I have neverbeen.

I'm becoming a 'no one'. For now I yet am not a 'no one'.

''if I don't consecrate myself to God,

the Evil one will get to the men's souls, will take them...

.. and will destroy them.

In the end, all will be turned into ashes.

God, go the Evil's way with Your Divine Law..

.. and fight him with virtuous wrath.

Support our people and punish the enemy.

God, may disasters truck those who doubt You.

Give us the strength!

Aim for justice, body and soul.

God will bring righteousness everywhere.

Forgive me, O God.

God, forgive me for having killed innocents.

Forgive my crime who was fostered by ignorance. ''

This priest... This prayer...

What sect do they belong to?

You, unbeliever!

Sinner!

Beg for forgiveness!

He speaks Japanese very well.

Yes, I can speak Japanese.

I can speak 13 languages.

In any cases, it looks like you don't understand yourself.

You killed all those innocents in the airport.

Confess your sins, with all your heart!

Ask your victims for forgiveness.

Ask for forgiveness?!

I'll be able to extirpate your sins.

I'll make your sins mine, and I'll pray for you.

It's the only way you can save yourself.

Now, let's say this together.

''God, I've done wrong and brought shame upon my family. ''

To ask for forgiveness?

Whom ask for forgiveness?

We opened fire on the policemen, but we didn't kill any tourist.

That's why I can't ask for forgiveness, and neither can I confess any sin.

I can only pray they may rest in peace.

26 digits are more than 15 cm long.

This big number is equal to a hundred of million times...

.. the distance from the Earth to the Sun.

Pain only is my faithful companion.

''One of the greatest days in history

the ideals ofthe French Revolution were.. Liberty, Equality, Brotherhood.

Wonderful ideals.

They were worth every drop of blood that was shed.

But they haven' tbeen put into practice yet.

Why have they remained ideals only?

If I'd have to draw my conclusions...

.. it happened because we tried to put them in practice in the wrong way.

To be precise,

we must obtain liberty in life,

equality in the public life...

.. and brotherhood in the economic life.

Whereas, the people demands liberty in public life,

and equality only in the economic life.

That is why, without wanting to go beyond the structure of the intellect,

and without hindering time's infinity,

we can freely expand the infinite self.

I haven't pronounced myself about infinity.

All celestial bodies exist in infinity, in space and time,

Countless celestial bodies are born and die in continuous cycles.

All those inhabiting the celestial bodies, be they life forms or lifeless entities,

have been giving the privilege ofeternity. ''

Traitor!

You're an anarchist! Terrorist!

Bastard!

You're a swine who doesn't believe in God, or in Hell, or in the Apocalypse...

God, punish the traitors and the whores!

And throw their children in Hell! Destroy them!

That's why all human beings are eternal in every moment of their life.

Like I am, while making this affirmations.

Hundreds of millions ofpeople say the same thing in the same situations.

They'll exist in all eternity.

Those who are absolutely identical...

.. will live in time and in space, in the infinity.

I am not talking about ghosts.

They are simple manifestations of man into the reality of eternal life.

100 million copies of our bodies...

.. have proved the euphoria of the next life and the future.

You love her. Do it, then!

You promised! Do you it now!

Not like this! Do you it for real!

Open her legs and stick it to her!

On the planetEarth...

.. all the crimes and pain are part of an eternal, neverending cycle.

All the beings on this planet are copies...

.. generated even before space had begun.

I and her are copies of copies...

.. of the hundreds of thousands of living beings inhabiting this celestial body.

I love you.

Now! Do it!

At that moment, I felt impotent.

I was aware I was myself.

But... is this my starting point?

Shoot the devil into the heart!

Destroy the devil inside your mind! Break your arms and legs.

Smash your head in thousand of pieces and then take them into the desert!

Remind them God's work.

Hit! Kill the devil!

Purify your soul.

Forget the celestial bodies and the bragging of a fake priest.

Everything depends on your will. On how you want to live.

How I want to live?

Forget everything our forefathers have said.

We are responsible for our future battles.

We're doing what we believe in...

.. and we fight the enemy without fear of sacrificing ourselves.

We're happy to become soldiers without identity, aren't we?

I was one of them.

I wanted to live and die in that world.

But they captured me. And I became insane.

Therefore you have no choice. Go on with what you're doing.

Do as you want. It's better this way.

Do as I want?

Do as I want...

Becoming obedient is easy.

It awakens the masochism lying inside you.

I'm surprised how quickly got used to it.

I also am this one.

I am taking it.

I am not no one.

Being empty can't do you any harm.

Whatever I do, it distances me from my starting point.

Getting beaten is much simpler for me.

After all...

Am I a dog?

Or, as they say, I'm only a swine?

Stupid!

I was always afraid of making a mistake when others were around.

Because I always failed.

Every time I failed I perceived the compassion of those present.

Had it ended?

Or am I still trying to find myself?

Am I trying to end being myself?

Listen.

Your territory is inside that line.

Never cross that line.

if you don't go along with this, you'll die.

Other crazy thoughts?

Yes, exactly.

This smell is a memory from my starting point.

A sign from my starting point.

How come I had forgotten it?

Are you a terrorist, or something like that?

You can't just come and disturb our Promised Land.

Don't you brag talking about revolution or freedom.

But money can solve everything.

Pay, and I'll make even one of your kind a government official.

You are a rich Japanese. Ask your family to send you money.

The Revolution game is out of date by now.

Stop now!

Listen, you are my dog.

Are you listening?

Moron.

Do you want to do what you want?

I've endured too much, I've resisted.

But they are all mad in here.

Exactly, they are all mad.

if they are mad, become madder than they are.

That will be your most powerful weapon.

All think about the goal.

Don't be inconsiderate, attack them using madness.

This way you'll be able to defeat the enemy.

All you have to do is force yourself.

After all, I don't see any other way.

Do as I tell you.

That's enough.

I don't hold a grudge against you.

We're all trying to do our best. We've tried so many times.

We did our best.

We swore to mark a new starting point with our suicide mission.

We three, brothers, are always together. I am this one.

I'd have caught up with you very quickly. But I haven't been able to yet.

I still need training.

What do you think?

You don't need training.

Finish it.

This man is...

.. a soldier without name, a Mr. No One.

But I will, all the same, answer your questions.

Training oneself doesn't mean submitting to any power,

but demand absolute freedom.

That is the only way.

That is way you must destroy everything but the bare essentials.

You mustn't be negligent and you mustn't make any mistakes.

For instance...

.. a murder.

This murder mustn't involve civilians, but only the target.

if you use bombs, try to hit the target,

if it is a suicide attack...

.. this is unimportant.

Anyway, you can do whatever necessary to achive your goal.

But, in order to launch it, in your case...

.. you must, first, escape from here.

Don't you think so?

Escape from here?

You, bastard!

A madman.

He's mad. Really mad.

He blabs on about freedom, certainty and revolution!

I am mad?!

It's you who are mad.

Well...

Yes, brothers...

I want to escape.

I want to run away to freedom, until the end of the world.

Nobody can stop me.

I want to go faraway.

When I was confused and didn't know what to do I ran away.

Many times I got as far as the airport.

But, beyond the airport, there was nothing.

No place where you could go.

So I had to go back.

I want to take a road that would never force me to go back.

It's so hard going back...

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die! I will die! I will die!

I will die!

I will die!

I will die!

I will die!

I will die!

I will die!

I will die!

After this suicide mission we'll become the three Orion stars.

I will die! I will die!

How're you?

You don't know me, isn't it so?

I'm Japanese, an university professor.

How long have you been in here?

Five or six years?

Your comrades are responsible for another hijacking.

They haven't asked for your release.

That's a pity.

What is it that you want?

Japanese food.

It's been so long since you haven't had some.

Good appetite.

Hear me out while eating.

if you accept to talk honestly...

.. I'll bring you food every week.

You killed 28 people and seriously wounded 120

Everybody's against you, all ofthe Japan hates you,

they consider you a clod blooded murderer.

Seven years have gone by since your crimes.

But your family still is ostracised.

They live cloistered in their homes.

Do you know what your father said about you?

''Hurry up and kill my son! As an expiatory gesture. ''

Hey, are you listening to me?

Yes.

Do you know why I am here?

Yes, no. I don't know.

Stop pretending you don't know anything!

I came all the way here with this food...

.. because I care about you.

About you, not about what you did.

You don't even realize what you did.

That's why I am sorry about you.

I can't forgive terrorism

You deserve a life in prison and torture.

Yes.

Now.

Promise me you'll say:

''We committed an atrocious crime. ''

''I repent for what I did. ''

''And ask for forgiveness from the bottom of my heart. ''

''I deserve any punishment whatsoever. ''

''I'll do penance till my dying day. ''

Write this on your pardon request.

I don't think I can do that.

I'm sorry, you have lost your time.

Why can't you?!

Don't you understand what I have just told you?!

You must show yourself penitent. Don't you understand?

No, that's not the point.

''I'll do penance till my dying day. ''

It's too easy saying that.

Bastard! How can you say such a thing?!

I appreciate you have come and visited me.

But don't try inculcating me with your banal philosophy.

You're welcome as a friend, but not this way!

Curse you!

if I apologize and they set me free, I'll do it.

It's a great strategy. I can do it.

But will I be up to the task?

You can do it. if you do it, do it well.

And have fun. Be optimistic.

Have fun?!

Can't I just remain serious?

Doing it well means the same thing.

The problem here is not if you're having fun.

Where did you get this ''eternity in a celestial body'' idea from?!

One day, during a storm, something happened in my head.

I was looking at the ocean from the prison window.

Big waves, fuelled by a strong wind,

created a thick misty rain.

The rain covered everything in a matter of seconds.

The sky, the ocean and even me.

Everything became milky white.

I understood that everything is connected, even the celestial bodies.

That was the starting point.

I was so excited I wasn't able to sleep many a night.

If we compare the life ofa distant star, thousands of light years away,

''ETERNITY THROUGH THE STARS ASTRONOMICAL HYPOTHESIS'' to a man's lifespan...

.. victories and defeats and revolutions will be tantamount...

.. to only one twinkle of a star.

And not only that.

Using the stars' twinkling,

I can expand a moment in time and escape from prison.

Your starting point is like the ''Hannyashinkyo Sutra. ''

What's that?

- Religion. Buddhism, isn't it? - Yes.

True, it was even known in my country. ''Shikisokuzeku, Kusokuzeshiki. ''

What does it mean?

It means that everything is nothing.

Only in nothingness you can find existence and life.

Why is it also my starting point?

All the world is interconnected.

All the matter and all life are interconnected.

When I saw all the universe blend into one,

even if the way the elements combine is different,

I understood that the universe is only made of life and matter.

This was the starting point of the universe.

I'll introduce you.

He's an Italian revolutionary.

Contrary to us, he lives in the present.

He's of the same age as you are.

He's advancing a new, revolutionary theory.

My mentors are telling me you are not a true and real heroic ideologue.

Glad to meet you.

I think that only the workers fighting for the revolution can be heroes.

However, prisoners don't have anything to lose any more.

You're living an absolute defeat.

How can you turn around this situation?

Our fight is the same, be it inside or outside the prison.

I'm studying the speeches in the library,

and I'm presenting them to the people.

Speaking to whom? Where?

Don't jump to hasty conclusions.

I said that we belonged to this place, 3248 but it only is an imaginary place.

We are dead, therefore it's not like the book store you were talking about.

It is more like a grave for us.

In any case, is it ''Hannyshinkyo''?

ls it here?

''Hannyashinkyo''? I've heard about it. Wait a moment.

Here it is.

Sis'! My beloved sister!

It's been so long since we've seen each other.

Why are you here? Don't tell me!

Don't worry! I haven't died yet.

They've told me about you.

They've insisted that I also come and see you.

So I came to see if you were al right.

You shouldn't have. This is not a suitable place for you to be in.

Don't be foolish.

That's an old-fashioned way of thinking.

That's why they wanted you to wake up.

That I wake up?!

All you have to do...

.. is go on doing what you believe in.

You did that.

Whatever they say,

or tell you,

let them do what they want.

Keep on going on your path!

I will do that.

But it's not an easy thing to do.

I knew it.

That's why I came to encourage you.

What is it?... Don't pull that face!

In this world, man included,

the Earth and the celestial bodies must all be very simple.

That's true, but...

Don't worry and don't hesitate any more. It's not like you.

I know that...

Al right, let's go!

if I may...

I...

I don't understand.

Neither do l.

But I love you.

Obtain justice in the mind, as well as in the body.

You, infidel! Madman!

Anarchist! Terrorist!

You are the devil!

Sin has rotted you!

Swine! Sex beast!

God won't save you any more.

You cursed swine! Demon!

The airport entrance we had attacked...

.. became a lake with the blood of those shot by the police forces.

We were thinking that our mission would have taken our souls to Heaven...

.. together with the souls of those dying.

But, when I look back today,

it was only we who were so desirous to die. What was I to do?

No, I shouldn't ask anyone these things.

I have to continue on my road and go on being myself.

Here, inside, or in society, it all this the same thing

The things keep changing.

Heads and tails endlessly keep on flipping.

And will do so in eternity.

I'll keep on doing it.

At last the skies and earth have opened.

I've reached the limit.

Well...

I'm sorry for what happened in the past.

I was also wrong.

It's been a long time ago.

Please, forget everything.

I won't speak about the petition.

Instead, I have a wonderful suggestion.

And I also want to talk about your future.

Alright?

Eat as much as you want.

Well?

Can we talk?

Do you remember that old prisoners exchange plan?

It failed when they tried putting you on the list.

Therefore, if there's another chance for the others to save themselves,

promise me you'll remain in this prison...

.. and that you'll write a memorandum to prove this.

if you'll write what they want,

the government will pay you three million dollars cash.

That means 350 million yen.

That's a good offer, isn't it?

And there even is a still better one.

They'll let you go.

if you'll want to live in another country,

they'll agree to you being transferred to the prison of no matter what other state.

It's a business, as usually.

A business?! No, it isn't.

I thought it might be a good opportunity, so I told you about it.

Then,

you eat this.

No, thank you.

I know it's poisoned! Eat!

Don't hesitate!

Forgive me, I'm sorry.

I was so happy and enthusiast that I wanted to share it with you.

I'm very sorry. Please forgive me.

Madman! I'll never forgive you!

Hey, they're letting us go! They're letting us go!

They're letting us go! They're letting us go!

They're letting us go! We'll be free!

We'll be free!

Freedom?!

Freedom...

Freedom... Freedom...

Freedom... Freedom...

Freedom... Freedom...

Freedom... Freedom...

Freedom... Freedom...

Freedom... Freedom...

Freedom... Freedom...

You are the first on the list. You'll be released soon.

Are they releasing me now?

I guess it's another one of their tricks.

They won't make fun of me so easily again.

Go crazy and have as much fun as you want.

But...

.. I won't allow myself to be laughed at again.

Al right!

Al right!

Al right, let's go!

Let's toast, comrades!

To your health!

To your health!

Al right! I'm glad to see you, brothers!

Today is a great day for the continuation ofour revolution.

Many brothers, including those in enemy prisons for more than 30 years,

have finally returned to this advanced camp.

I'm saying this again.

if the billions of people on Earth would understand they're still tied...

.. to the souls of those they have loved once, they'd be comforted.

Welcome home, my soldiers!

You have suffered tremendously, for a long time, in the enemy's prisons.

From now on, we'll fight together from our advanced camp.

Your copies,

of which there're millions, have used your example to encourage themselves...

and will go on doing this.

Even this can be of comfort to them.

Precisely because they are our copies.

It's a cover.

To avoid air raids.

Well done, isn't it?

Hi.

It's nice seeing you after such a long voyage.

You must be tired. Do you want to rest?

No, thanks.

But...

Anything you need?

I'd have never thought they'd catch you.

But, in the end, they caught everyone.

Was I arrested?

I am so angry and annoyed,

but I'll go along with your stupid act.

Very well. I don't care.

I can start all over again.

They've never arrested us.

We set up this advanced camp.

We've been fighting ever since you've left on your mission.

This is our permanent camp, built with our own hands.

That's enough.

You don't have to pretend any more.

But we'll go on fighting until the end.

Stop making fun of me!

But I'm serious!

Look, they are so passionate and full of energy!

They all seem very ordinary to me.

These are not fighters' faces!

Dear brothers!

Thank you for your hard work all this time.

You were all arrested because I failed.

I'm sorry I allowed them to humiliate you.

But let's stop making fun one of another!

Let's fight adversity and start all over.

Let's train hard...

.. and let's create another strategy. We can make it!

I...

I'd do it again, even on my own.

I'll be honest with myself and do what l want to do until the end.

That's enough! Stop it!

I've said enough with tricks!

You shouldn't console each other this way!

There's no need for that!

I'll do what I want!

We'll do it, no matter how...

This is my starting point.

Afterall, I have to start from here.

How will it end this time?

Freedom... Freedom... Freedom...

I'll be in here forever.

This guarantees a starting point.

I'll go on copying myself.

My copies will blend with an infinity of others...

.. and will transform in a new magma.

Yes.

The road of the new era has been set.

Must I declare the beginning of a new world?

Even today the poets and the pious say:.

"No hope, no new life. ''

''Man has massacred and destroyed everything in the course of history. ''

''Simply apologize...

''.. and go on trying peaceful but useless re-pacifications. ''

But their words didn't have the power to move my heart.

Useless words, I pretending to be dead, damned asceticism.

I can't escape this living Hell!

Do you like it?

Now I can see myself crying from desperation.

The scar of a suicide attempt reflecting into the mirror.

The souls of those I killed, full of love, unite against me.

if you try to kill yourself, the joy of damnation...

.. is like dizziness in the middle of a crowd.

This is the beginning of my world.

Will I say this again?

Consolation is stuck to my skin and stops me from breathing.

It follows me wherever I go, locking me into hypocrisy.

It corrodes my head and concludes I'm stupid.

It's true. I want to be a simulator.

Oh, breathing it's so difficult! I'm so annoyed!

Living in this fake world.

Should I go on expressing my sentiments angrily?

No, I must denounce it.

My model is...

.. a terrorist.

A collusive trick, only common sense...

A forced smile of the predetermined harmony rule.

A hypocrite with a triumphant look behind a mask.

Abolish him! Abrogate him!

What you need is world peace, the soap opera.

Ebb line with colours dark colours.

That's enough!

Smash and destroy everything!

Let's stop shyly breathing!

This is a word for this world's beginning.

No, wait.

Something's still missing.

It's because my words are only nostalgia, the desire for new dreams.

Even if I throw everything away and trample on void arguments,

I won't be able to swim in my dreams.

Therefore I'll say...

.. exhale the feverish air of grudge...

.. and bid farewell to the obscurity of all ofus.

Will I escape anywhere?

Of course I will.

That will be my, ours...
