Malu Special 23

It's the end of the Pacific War.

JEAN'S CRUSH IS SURE,

and Omiya on the Gaines Front

was still advancing westward.

Take a course. Quickly.

What's happening?

It's our position.

There.

The Grane?

This is hell. We're surrounded.

All right.

The walls are solid. We're on high ground.

All's gone quiet.

Shoot randomly.

They'll stop.

What if we run out of ammo?

We'll see.

All gone. You?

Still got a couple of rounds. Ten shots.

Let's have a glorious death.

There's nothing glorious in death. Try to stay alive.

I can't, I'm out of ammo.

They're coming.

Throw the grenades.

Our last moments have arrived.

Who's there to say what'll...?

This is set out, and strike the fuse.

It'll go off in seven minutes.

Omiya, let's lose it.

Not yet.

I can't wait!

Not yet, not yet.

Chinese guerrillas dissecting soldiers of the Imperial Army?

Is there anyone around?

Shame! No survivors.

Soldier Omiya Aisotore,

what is your mission?

It's a reserve of the final platoon.

Only two recruits have survived.

I'm Lieutenant Kita, your commander.

Lieutenant Kaminaga?

Soldiers on this front are tough. Go on fighting.

This kid was hiding in the grass.

He's the village chief's son.

He could be a spy, carrying a grenade!

He said he tossed it at us.

A lie!

Don't think so, his father is friendly.

Tie him up.

Some sauce also.

These mounds down there...

What are they for?

I don't know.

Chinese soldiers are buried there.

I killed five.

Seven in all?

The inhabitants in there are all spies.

All Chinese are.

Even this kid.

Did you help the guerrillas attack our truck?

You're a spy, aren't you?

He's not!

Don't tell me you don't know.

You know the signal for spies.

Or you'll die.

...and confess, or I'll live you!

You're a spy, then.

Omiya, come here.

Don't kill my son. He's no spy!

He is!

Spies must die, even if he's your son.

Please, have mercy on him.

I'm working with the Japanese.

Save him, do it for my sake!

I can't.

No, please! Spare my son!

Go!

You were a geisha.

No, an entertainer.

I know what kind of a man you are.

You want to defend the guy?

You don't have the nerve! Kill the kid!

I don't kill children.

Moron.

In five minutes...

Revenge them.

Is that an order?

Yes.

Stab him.

Moron.

You must stab him if I order it.

What are you waiting for? Stab him!

Are you making fun of me?

What's with that face? That's how you obey orders?

They're right. You're tough, as I heard.

I'll show you how to do it.

Do you want to kill him?

Yes.

Then why not try that with me?

I want to see how good you are at this thing.

Can you nick me?

If you refuse, you'll regret it.

Sergeant, you're a big piece of shit!

Bastard, I'll kill you!

What are you doing?

You're insulting an officer?

Doesn't matter.

What's happening?

A sergeant tried to hit me, and I'm shooting him.

You're not allowed to.

That's the rules, moron. You don't do what you want.

The rules?

Then, spare an officer.

I'll interrogate him.

He's guilty. I'll deliver him to the MP.

We're surrounded. No more fighting.

We must work together to defend the village.

Omiya, untie the kid.

Go home.

I was a geek before coming here.

I don't have much guts.

I don't know how to command my men.

I understand.

But I won't allow Kaminaga to command them!

He likes to kill; I don't.

I want to return to my home.

Restrain him.

I understand. I'll try.

Omiya, I've heard you quarrel wherever you go.

I was provoked.

Avoid Kaminaga, all right?

Lieutenant!

Thank you for having saved my son!

It wasn't me at all.

It's these men you must thank.

You Japanese?

He studied at Tokyo University.

He understands us and works with us.

Don't you hate us?

I trust the Japanese.

When I was in Japan, my friends and teachers were kind to me.

Today, you saved my son.

I'll never forget it.

I truly thank you.

This is from my brother yesterday.

- What's this? - With my compliments.

Take it, please.

Your Japanese is good.

My father taught me.

My daughter's in.

That's my description.

If I want something, I take it.

Give yourself, lolitan.

A courageous lolitan.

What is it?

Go to hell!

Get out.

Get out of here!

You get away.

Is this the way to talk to a sergeant?

You figure yourself one?

I'll show you.

Kill this freak.

Fight with your bare hands.

With bare hands?

Very well. I'm good with my fists.

Stop it!

- You want to defend him? - Omiya!

For the sergeant's sake. He hates fighting.

Stop it.

What are you saying?

Very well. I forgive you.

You're too good.

Leave him to me.

Leave him alone.

Put your dirty paws on the women...

You'll die.

The village head works with us.

Why his daughter?

That's exactly why I did it.

What do you mean?

Our trucks are trying to reach us.

And they were attacked.

There must be a spy.

So what?

I suspect it comes from the village head's family.

He's my friend. He'd never spy on us.

Yes...

His family can come and go as they wish.

They can understand Japanese.

- She's a spy? - Yes!

I wanted to find out the truth.

I'll make her mine, and she'll tell me.

I can't do it. Ask someone else.

Think so?

I'm a soldier of the Imperial Army. I don't rape for pleasure.

All right.

Someone else will find it out. You stay out of it.

Speak very well.

- Make love to her. - Where?

She'll open her heart to you.

Take her, and she'll tell you everything.

You want me to find out if she's a spy?

You want me to fool her?

It will save the platoon. Obey.

He's cooking.

Sit down, please. Please.

Please, please.

It's only a treat.

Roasted chicken. Did you cook it?

Delicious.

Where did you get sake and the chicken?

I stole the sake.

As for the chicken...

someone gave it to me.

Who?

The head's daughter.

- Delicious. - Omiya!

Are you in love with her?

Are you?

You're more important.

Then comes she.

Omiya, how do you make love with a woman?

How? It's very easy.

You get on top of her.

And you can do it?

I've never failed.

Very well, show me.

Make her yours. I don't want her this way.

I'll keep her intact like a treasure.

It's not like you! You like women.

I don't know. She's an exception.

If you won't do it, I'll ask someone else.

Why?

Someone else will make love to her.

No one will do it, I won't allow it!

Then you do it. It's an order!

I want a reward!

A bottle of sake. All right.

Learn Chinese from her every afternoon for three days.

I'm not smart, I won't be able to learn one word.

That's just an excuse.

An excuse?

The girl is suspected of being a spy.

Find out the truth.

In three days.

To health!

Good afternoon...

- Beautiful. - You're beautiful.

I love you...

You love me?

Give me a kiss.

Please!

How old are you?

Loved anyone?

Once. He was killed.

In the war?

By the Japanese?

Let's talk about something else.

It's hot here.

Let's go out.

And the lesson?

Give me more.

This place was full of flowers. But now, no more flowers...

That's war.

He likes wine and women.

The bastard...

What should I do?

Shoot them.

The two?

No? Are you opposing me?

No...

- Isn't it murder? - Moron!

You're killing guerrillas.

Get closer. There won't be a second chance.

It's like this...

Like when I was a child and went on picnics.

I'm afraid I got... I feel dizzy.

Today, in daylight...

they shot at our sentinel.

The guerrillas have encircled us. They'll attack us.

What have you discovered?

Have you talked?

Any news?

He has drunk and fooled around with her.

Omiya, is that true?

Yes.

Behave like an Imperial soldier.

Bag of shit!

He tried to conquer her.

He has two more days. Don't mess with him.

He's a coward. I don't trust him.

You're like a pigeon.

Are you tired?

Is she good?

She's...

I'll show you.

Don't insult her.

Don't drag her into this talk.

You told her, Lieutenant. You're responsible.

I know. Take Kawamura away.

I'm going.

Make her talk in three days. Can you?

We are counting on you.

Why?

What does it mean?

Don't get mad with me.

I love you.

I love you.

Are you mad with me?

I love you.

Really?

Really.

I'm not lying to you.

Then, tell me the truth.

- Are you a spy? - A spy?

I must find this out, or I'll be in trouble.

Then, is this what you're trying to see?

Then saying you love me was a lie?

Of course I love you. It's true!

Let's talk about something else.

It's important to me.

I won't do anything to you. I hate lies.

Trust me and tell me the truth.

They'll attack the village tonight.

Tonight... You are a spy.

At midnight.

Who told you?

I heard them say this.

I'm caught between fires...

Our soldiers will be killed.

If I warn them, they'll kill you.

What am I to do?

Run away.

I want to save my men, but I also want to save you.

Take away your father and your brother.

My father is with the Japanese.

Take your brother away.

If you let a spy run away,

you'll pay.

Go.

I want something to remember you.

I don't know.

A lock of hair?

All right.

Take it.

Cut.

The full ones.

You're strange...

I'll keep her like a treasure.

You saved me and my brother.

All right, you can have it.

Have you found the truth?

Yes. They'll come tonight, from the South!

Welcome! We'll be ready.

I was right, sir.

The girl is a spy.

- Shoot her! - Moron!

How else could she have known about the guerrillas?

She might have overheard.

Let's interrogate her.

Where is she?

- I've let her escape. - You let her escape?!

Omiya, is this true?

There'll be fights.

I don't want her to die.

Whoever helps a spy escape, dies.

Shoot him!

We must first fight the guerrillas.

I'll punish him tomorrow.

Lock him up.

You bastards! Resisting an officer?

He's a spy... die in the fight.

All right. We need as many men as we can get.

Amidst the battle...

Is that clear, Omiya?

A minute to midnight. They'll be coming.

I don't know. Maybe we're wasting our time.

There they are.

At midnight from the South.

They'll start shooting.

Down!

Fenglian told me the truth.

She was right.

It's strange, though...

They know they're delaying their attack. It must be a trap.

Get down. I'll shoot for you, too.

They're too far away. Wait for them to get closer.

Don't kill them. Just scare them.

Fire!

After two hours of battle, we have driven the enemy away.

And quiet for a little while.

You have fought well.

Thank you all. Take a rest.

Where is it?

Something is moving.

A rest time is not enough. He must be made an example.

I'll punish him.

Will you?

I will.

This usually does it.

Use this.

Interesting. Tie him up.

Arita, you're his friend.

That's why you'll do it.

Hit him. Hit the blood!

Omiya, it begins.

Get on with it.

Fake it, you fool!

Fake it.

It's not enough.

Hit him harder!

That's...

- Do you hear me? - Corporal!

Don't.

Hit me more. I'll do it.

That's...

Untie him.

So nice...

My sister's waiting. Let's go, quickly! Fenglian's waiting for me? Is that true?

I'll see her again...

Do you want to kill me or capture me?

Ask him.

I don't have anything.

Why don't you join us?

Join the guerrillas? I'm a Japanese soldier.

Our rules are:

"Love the people, help the people, don't steal."

"Mend what's broken, don't kill the prisoners."

Rules?

I'll think about it.

Your children are spies. No, believe me!

No. As a lieutenant, I'm not mad.

I'll kill you.

I'm with the Japanese.

But you're not kind like the others.

You're a demon.

Have you killed him because his daughter has refused you?

This is an insult.

I'll punish you.

Without me, you're no better than a scarecrow.

Worse, then.

No fights, or you'll end up in detention.

Yes.

Kaminaga, you're a demon.

You dishonor the Japanese.

How can we win the war with you among us?

Shut up. I didn't kill him.

It was an accident. He was old enough to die.

I'll deliver you to the MP.

It'll be night soon. Eat something and go to sleep.

And the head?

Here. Put the pillow on your head.

Like a fool.

We fight for the Chinese. We can deal with hardship.

Very well.

After supper, take a bath in the river.

This river?

It's just to get clean... I'm not joking.

I can't take a bath in this cold.

It's frozen.

It's just to get clean...

Go.

I'll wash you.

You don't like it?

I won't hurt you.

You're my treasure. I'll allow you.

You can't sleep?

Of course I can't.

You keep me awake.

The guerrillas are attacking the village again.

Last night was only a rehearsal.

The garrison will be wiped out.

Even the corporal will be dead.

Is it true?

It is.

Take me back.

Kawamura.

It's I.

They've surprised us.

It's over.

Abandon the village.

We're surrounded. Can we get through?

I am as good in defense as I am in attack.

The Lieutenant...

He must die.

Or he'll deliver me to the MP.

Murder?

Fallen in combat.

Arita?

He's still alive.

He's got the body.

The body?

Let's...

Tie his feet and drag him.

The Devils are here.

Arita-san seems alive. Are you pleased?

He was...

...a good man.

Bastards have long lives... like Kaminaga!

The Japanese are gone.

Corporal Arita?

Who are you?

The commander has agreed to send you back.

Is Corporal Arita with you?

Is Corporal Arita with you?

You were taken prisoners? You deserve death!

I can't die yet.

Why?

He asked if the corporal is here. But he isn't.

Let's go away.

Why are you not defending the village?

We can't risk our lives too much.

I know where Arita-san is.

At Yuangjia-Cun.

Where's that?

I want to see him.

They'll catch and kill you.

- Will you go all the same? - Yes!

Take me there.

A pass!

It's our main crossroads.

You can't go otherwise.

I'll go to the garrison. Go back.

I'll go with you.

Omiya...

Moron. Go away.

I was looking for you.

Why are you chasing me?

Quickly.

I am to blame for leaving you.

I want to talk to you.

Listen to me.

Omiya, you have come at last.

Arita was your lord.

You've taken the bait.

Fenglian, too?

Don't you care if I kill her?

Omiya, did you want to see Arita?

Take a good look at him.

He did nothing wrong.

Untie him.

He helped you.

Helping a deserter is punished with death.

Any objections?

There's no one here to execute him.

He's a prisoner with me.

I'm his deputy.

I have all the necessary commands.

I can punish on my own.

You'll die tomorrow.

You only have one more night to live.

Say farewell to each other.

This is my present.

You're a fool, Omiya. Why did you come here?

You knew it.

I couldn't leave you.

But it's not for you to die.

If you die, I'll die also.

Why involve her?

I wanted to come.

Turn around.

Why?

We're going to give ourselves...

It won't take long. Close your eyes.

I understand.

Fenglian, come here.

Come here.

Your mouth.

Do you want to make love with her?

I have no memory of an elephant.

I've always killed my enemies.

It's a pity you're my enemy. Shoot me.

But you've favored this asshole.

I was a fool.

Make many, please.

You mean it?

This is war. Women need strong men.

Do you love me?

Yes.

All right, you'll be my woman.

Do me a favor.

The Chinese never forget a favor.

This man saved me and my brother.

Look at us, Omiya.

The girl you love wants me.

Arita! Omiya! You're free!

Untie them.

You two are no good!

Is it clear?

Yes... Tell her goodbye.

That's all the way you go.

It's his orders to shoot you here.

He has tricked us again.

Don't move.

Fire!

If you shoot, you'll regret it.

Who sent you?

My sister told me to save you.

- Fenglian? - Yes.

Get in!

I'll be back soon.

Where's the member?

Where is the shit house?

The shit house?

Take me there.

That's it, get in.

Get in.

In there?

You want out?

All right, take me to Kaminaga.

Like this?

Don't move, it stinks.

All right. I'll take you there.

Get out.

Sergeant Kaminaga.

Sergeant Kaminaga.

It's me, Kawamura. Please, open the door!

Why?

You're...

Aye, aye, sir.

You're even dirtier.

I can't forgive you, Kaminaga.

I will kill you.

I'm a soldier, I'm always ready to die.

But you're a man, fight with your bare hands.

Very well.

We'll see who'll die. We'll settle the accounts.

Go back.

Am I dirty?

Take this, take it.

Are you mad?

Drop it!

Don't touch me!

Don't you love me anymore?

I hate you now.

So what? I can't love Kaminaga's...

Oh boy, forgive this.

I know why you gave yourself to Kaminaga.

I know it.

It was to save us.

He'll take you away from me.

I'll join the guerrillas.

See who it is.

It's me.

Corporal...

She won't come back to you. Forget her.

The guerrillas gave me the clothes. Change.

So long, Union.

We'll live in China for a while.

- THE END -
