Original subtitles

You ever hear of a thing called a yurei?

Can a yurei control other people?

You know it's not real, right?

My daughter, Amy, would like to offer her secretarial services.

Still nothing on Admiral Takahashi.

But they never mention him by name, right?

Ken, this is Amy.

Nakayama.

Nakayama, the new batch.

It's fogged over again.

I think a change of scenery would do him some good.

My girl left me.

I'm still doing my job.

That's the same thing.

But it's the same.

Your girl goes home to Pocatello.

My infant sons are buried in a prison camp.

Come on.

Bob would take a bullet for you. I wish you would.

Then shut him up.

It's cracked.

Truth be told, I'm hoping that new batch of translators gets here soon.

You know what my cousin told me?

When you ship out, look to the man on your right and the one on your left.

One of them's coming home in a body bag.

Yeah, right.

And if both of them make it, then it's gonna be you.

Hey, lighten up. That's just frontline grunts.

We haven't lost a single translator.

I heard a fellow in Guadalcanal took a flamethrower to the face.

Came out fresh as a daisy.

So, you saying we're due?

If so, my money's on Tara, G-Mo.

He's been looking spooked all day.

What do you think, G-Mo?

Take one for Uncle Sam?

They'll name a pagoda after you.

Remember when he used to be fun?

Hey. One of the scouts, huh?

Hey, where's Guadalcanal at

anyway? Solomon Islands.

Where's that?

Guess we'll find out.

What this?

Statement of United States citizens of Japanese ancestry.

Fill it out, turn it in.

Just have to prove you're a loyal American.

This? We must prove?

Just fill it out, pal.

A loyalty questionnaire.

We put this stuff in writing, they'll throw it back in our faces.

Yeah, that's right. Still, first time anybody upstairs has mentioned letting

us out.

Maybe we'll get to enlist.

That's your best-case scenario, Yoshida? Get your head blown off for the glory of

FDR?

Be sent to Japan, or be sent to jail, or be sent to die.

This whole thing's a trap. Plain as a hawkish in his nose.

I must speak with Major Bowman.

Make confession.

Confession is not a good word to be using in here, Yamato-san.

In 1925, I donate tinfoil to a collection for Japanese Navy.

I only give to make man knock my door, go away.

You need to explain that.

I ain't nothing about this.

Release docs from yesterday's overnighter.

I don't know why Japs like sleeping in the stockade so much.

I guess some people feel the need to protest.

Protest?

Gratitude is what it is.

And now this goddamn questionnaire?

The WRA is all over my ass to get a 100% response rate and everybody's bitching

and moaning.

No one wants to answer wrong.

It's 30 goddamn questions. Half of them are yes or no. It should take five

minutes. And here I thought y'all were supposed to be obedient.

I mean...

You're reasonable, but the rest of them, holy Moses.

Yes, you laid out the rules so clearly.

Consequences for noncompliance is what there needs to be.

Stern ones.

You get through the Aokidari? It confirms Admiral Takahashi did some

psychological experiments on Crittenden, but nothing about how or if there's

others. We have no goal save that our bodies might shatter into glorious

shards of pearl.

I always translate Tama as Jade, but I actually like Pearl better.

I think I was a bit of a poet before we ground him in the hamburger.

Well, at least we know it made Crittenden break, and it wasn't some

yude.

I was so sure that it was here.

It was back at camp the whole time.

It wanted me to come here.

So I could get to Luth. Chester, I used to mop up the infirmary at Manzanar.

It doesn't take some evil spirit for something to go bad in those camps.

There was never a Yude.

There isn't a Yude. That just means I came here for what?

Nothing?

Nothing.

There's a live POW from Takahashi's unit right now. And neither of us is allowed

in the room.

Because the Harvard interrogator's afraid we'll spot a shitty Japanese.

Look at us.

Useless to our country, useless to our families.

What are we?

What am I?

It's a little philosophical for my speed.

You play.

Used to?

Second base in the Nisei League.

There you go.

That's something.

You're a ball player.

The Falcons need the Bulls here. I think it's serious.

Major Tebri Van Allen's our best interrogator, but he's hit a bit of a

snag with this POW.

Our prisoner fell two miles out of his zero, so he's not his best self.

Now's the time to press him. That's why I've got a new interrogator on the roof

in Brisbane.

Your job's to babysit the prisoner until he gets here. These Ivy League guys

can't imagine what it's like to think like a Japanese.

They won't get anywhere.

You got a better idea, Nakayama?

Sir, I think Chester is asking permission for us to speak with a

prisoner.

Good night. You're not interrogators. You chose us for a reason.

Let us show you what we can do.

Major Van Allen?

What do you call you?

Uh, shidio. It's an ancient word. It means something like a dead man

walking amongst the living.

All right, well, keep watch on him. Regardless of what he calls you, don't

engage. I've got professionals for that.

Understood?

A few

minutes

there, it almost felt like we weren't in prison.

Minutes, huh?

I'm a little sweet on you, too.

Inmate 30893-C.

Do you think the MPs know which barriers are empty?

If any one of them could find a girl, he'd be doing the same as us.

What if they use that questionnaire to draft you?

I promise I'm not going to let some stupid answers on a stupid paper keep us

apart.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

Sir, the prisoner wants to engage.

Fighting a man's ear off is a kind of engagement.

If he knows Takahashi, this is our chance.

Did you notice how the prisoner was looking at you?

How? He wasn't.

He was staring at me.

A white man's just the enemy to him, but I'm something different.

A traitor, a shirio.

That means I can get him off balance, maybe even get inside his head.

You sure you got your own marbles in order?

Absolutely, sir.

I'm here to serve.

Say nothing.

I know you're hungry. I am too.

You might be scared, but that's what they want.

We just want to eat. It's our constitutional right not to answer. Do

you remember Amendment 5?

It's illegal to even ask. They certainly can't starve us or scare us into

answering. That guy's only happy when he's rocking the boat. Yoshida.

If you don't rock the boat, you're as bad as the Kittel locking us up.

That's enough.

Get down.

Failure to complete and submit the form will be construed as treasonous

behavior, subject to indefinite imprisonment.

Excuse me, Major, but treason?

Even if they don't answer at all?

We're not playing games here, Miss Yoshida.

And make sure your boyfriend over there knows that.

Just because the barrack is empty doesn't mean I don't know what's going

on in it.

I found it from the ruins of your fighter jet.

But I couldn't save myself.

Why?

You don't have the right to question me!

I don't think it's a good idea to fight an enemy and die like a dead beast.

You must be confused.

Why were you alive even after the ship sank?

I... I may be dead.

Chester... I don't know anything about you.

He's playing you.

What is the name written here?

Why are the names of the three people erased?

Even though there is a spirit in front of you, do you care about the name in

the diary?

Are you one of Takahashi's soldiers?

Are you one of the soldiers who brainwashed them?

You have nothing.

Do you think you can escape?

What was that?

Why'd you say that?

Why'd you say that?

Have you even looked at questions 27 and 28?

Are you willing to serve in the armed forces of the United States on combat

duty, wherever ordered?

I just want you to mark yes.

Anyone who says yes, they'll draft. Anyone who says no, they'll throw in

prison. It's not just prison. Bowen says they'll try you for treason. Will you

swear unqualified allegiance to the United States of America and faithfully

defend the United States from any or all attack by foreign or domestic forces and

forswear any form of allegiance to the Japanese emperor?

Just stupid answers, Ken, on a stupid paper.

And do like Walt did. Write yes twice.

Or swear any allegiance to the emperor.

I was born here. I couldn't live with myself if I marked yes to a question

like that.

If you mark no, they'll take you away.

From me.

Ken, please.

Ma.

Did you come here?

Did you originally live in America?

The reason I'm here... is to save you.

Release me with your own words.

And at the very least, like a proud warrior,

get angry with me.

If you don't release me,

Kisama mo, kisama no kazoku mo yose naku noroi koroshiteru.

Ore no kazoku.

Jimen ga aisuru mono no chi de makkani sowaru zo.

No to 27.

No to 28.

No to 27.

No to 28. No to 27.

No to 28.

You don't want the man who says yes to those questions.

Someone's come to see you.

Adios mio.

If your mother could see you.

I can't believe it.

Mi pequeña niña.

A man came to the house.

sergeant in uniform.

And he had news from

North Africa, Algeria.

Dennis was doing transport, convoy. There was a

battle.

And it didn't go our way.

We lost.

We lost your brother.

Because you shouldn't be in this place where your baby is.

It's time you came home.

I don't know.

What do you think of yourself?

Listen, after this war is over, I will be released.

Chester!

Then I will cross the sea and find you and your rotten family, and I will beat

you all to death! And I will cut your throat off!

I will see your crying face!

Oh, I see!

Do it!

What do you mean, sons?

Sons?

You're just like me, a dog!

I'm going to beat the shit out of you!

I'm going to let you go!

I'm going to... I'm going to kill you all!

What percentage Japanese would

you say your husband is?

The man is not her husband, but he's 100% Japanese.

What kind of food do you prepare for family dinners?

Japanese food.

She eats the food you people prepare for her.

Obviously.

Do you have any children from the union?

Sir.

Please.

It'll take three to five days to process the request. You can go.

Enrique and Ricardo.

What's that, Miss Ojeda?

We have two children.

I named them Enrique and Hikaru.

I was alone.

Because I was here.

You believe in spirits, don't you?

I know.

I feel it too.

That's why I'm hoping for the next life.

I'm a man.

I'm not afraid of death.

I'm a proud soldier of the Great Japanese Empire.

Who are you?

Jetter.

What am I to you?

You're too philosophical.

You shouldn't be like that.

Question 27, no.

Question 28, no.

What's the name of the country?

The team?

The membership?

The baseball team?

It's more American than anything.

It's a college team.

If the war is over, we'll be able to play again, won't we?

The three of them are dead.

It's time for me to die.

If you want to save me, give me your life.

Did you play baseball?

I've seen you play rugby before.

Do you know him?

I know him.

I've taken him for a third time.

You did?

Yeah. You're lying.

Gellick was drafted in 1934 as a team for the All-American national team.

He played for the Tokyo National Team.

I was a pitcher.

He was taken for a third time.

And I...

Ado Inaina Lugerik was sitting there in a trance.

Look at the newspapers back then.

This man.

Tell me everything about Matsuji.

What's his position?

He's dead.

I just want to know him as a baseball player.

Masuji Junichiro.

He's a great striker.

He's like a typhoon.

If his team didn't have to rely on his batting, he'd be a great pitcher.

He's got all the players in the team.

There's not a single team that can beat me.

He's got the ball in the center of the field.

Hey, hey, cavalry's here. Glad to have you boys for leaving us. Didn't want you

fellas to hog all the action.

Let's get you set up.

Coming, Terijima?

We're taking away anyone who answered no to questions 27 and 28.

He has a future.

There are twice as many guards in the higher security camps. Your no-no boys

will be well taken care of. History will remember this day.

Your children will be ashamed of what you've done. A lot of talk, Uhara.

Should have known you were from a ship.

I answered no to both questions, just like the others.

Sure you did.

Ken, you ought to answer yes to 27 and 28.

That's all.

I don't know what happened. I swear, I answered no.

It was just two stupid words on a stupid paper.

At least you're still here.

Ken, please.

Ken.

Anything?

No.

Nothing.

You guys are here.

Apparently we're moving out.

The new interrogator is waiting for the prisoner at a POW camp in Guam.

Maybe he'll get something about Takahashi.

Send him to a war camp.

He'll be questioned by the villains.

He'll think he should have died when he fell.

I... I'm a member of the family.

At this rate, even if you don't give me any money,

I won't give you anything.

Let me tell you what I like the most about baseball.

There's no time limit.

There's no clock.

After you give me the last chance,

I'll start the game.

I wanted to try it.

You're pretty good looking.

Like Lou Gehrig.

Keep that on joke right there.

We will let Chester know what happened.

I want to know where to find you.

I left him a letter.

Please.

Give this back to Yuko.

My midwife.

She gave it to me as a gift.

Here you go.

Get this chair.

Be safe.

Be well.

So, Oda broke free while your back was turned, right?

When you got hold of the dagger, you had no opportunity to stop him until it was

too late, right?

Yes.

Yes?

Yes.

And that's what happened.

It's not the happiest ending, but at least you got a break from on Takahashi.

It's more than Major Van Allen can say.

Or he, or for that matter.

Get back and try to get some rest and bigger plans for you

There

you

okay

Where are you going? Home.

Thank you. Thank you.

You're right.

I'm going home, Taizo.

The spirit does follow me.

What does it want?

There's more to the world than any of us will ever understand.

Does this mean you can speak to the dead?

Do you know what's going to happen to you? You were too goddamn afraid to do

the right thing. That wind, that was you, wasn't it? You were always with me.

Running is not a plan.

Freeze! She returned from the dead.

You are trying to outrun the demon.
