Coincidence.

Kazuo Oshiro.

How many people live here?

I haven't done a count...

Maybe about...

We have got supplies of food,

Medicine from a hospital.

And a nurse's station.

News of those in the shelter (Susupe Camp)

suffers from hunger and torture.

That's why most stay back.

Marine Corps, Lieutenant Kinbara.

Regiment of the Imperial Japanese Army.

What's the situation on

weapons and ammunition?

launchers and 20 rifles.

However. We've got 5 American rifles.

We're ready to engage the enemy!

I'll leave you in charge of the camp.

I have utmost trust in your leadership.

Do not fail me!

Yes!

You're in good hands.

Captain?

Why can't you lead us?

Our mission is...

to take out as many of the

enemy as possible.

You're leaving us to die.

Why you...

Leave her.

The plane's headed

towards the camp.

Back to camp!

Yes!

Stretcher! Stretcher!

Tragedy.

hold!

Tend to him.

Move!

I'm sorry.

Out of the way!

Look at what've you done.

Verify the number of surviving

civilians and soldiers.

Yes!

Scout for an alternative.

We need another location

to accommodate 200 people.

Yes!

Right now!

We have 100 soldiers

and 86 civilians.

We have already looked for

an alternative camp sites.

Under the command of Captain Oba.

We have 3 locations.

slope of Mt Tapochau!

- Speed up! It's getting dark!

- Yes!

Please be aware of your surrounding,

and don't let your families wander off.

Transition to the camp site

will soon be completed.

Kazuo?

I have come to realize.

That the civilians

and the soldiers.

Are our duty.

I understand that now.

Oh. Very detailed.

I taught geography in school.

Are we located here?

You understand?

I know where the mango is.

Very good.

You and your sister can map it out.

Alright.

I'll teach the rest.

What's wrong?

Hungry...

Saying it makes you more hungry.

You can't eat a raw snail.

You have to boil it first.

Those hidden in Mt Tapochau!

Japanese soldiers and civilians!

We will not harm you!

The U.S. army will not harm you!

Lay down your arms and surrender!

Feels nice.

C'mon in!

Feels wonderful!

Quit moving around.

Don't listen to Captain Oba.

Why? Because his,

command is like a God's.

Oba and God are in the same league.

You there! Stop it!

- Get him out!

- Yes!

Nothing to see!

Disperse! Disperse!

God said to me.

God loves you too.

- Quickly!

- Yes!

Quiet!

Heard he was a Priest.

Lost his mind eventually.

Captain Oba!

Alright. You try.

C'mon! You doing it wrong!

Relax your shoulders!

Tuck your knees in!

Thatta girl!

Hey!

Horiuchi.

Didn't I warn you not

to approach the camp?

Align your sight to the tip.

Tuck your knee, Aono.

Knees. Knees.

Alright! Straighten up!

Straighten!

Sh*t!

Damn!

You really pulled the trigger!

That's dangerous!

Thank you.

I'm grateful for the lesson.

Why do you want to

learn to shoot?

Eh...

Your name's Chieko, right?

Try not to act like

you're one of the soldiers.

I used to be a performer.

Now without a family.

The only thing I want for myself.

Aono wants.

To kill American soldiers.

Captain, how old

are your children?

Much older.

I see...

I'm not related to the children.

Been looking after them ever

since their mother got sick.

I'm not worried when

you're the guardian.

Neither am I.

When you are leading.

We are grateful for

someone such as yourself.

Thank you for your effort.

How much food do

we have left?

Don't think about that.

Yes!

They will return.

We need to relocate. Fast!

We'll move to the 2nd

alternative tonight.

What about the food supplies?

Move them out separately.

Regrettable.

Just settle into some normalcy

and this happens.

Now we have to give it up.

How much further?

It's here.

The base of the mountain

that we spotted the camp.

Anything from the grasshopper?

The last report:
There's

no signs of life.

Japs must've gone up.

And over that ridge.

What about the other

side of the mountain?

Can they even make

it over the coral ridge?

One thing's for certain. They're

gonna leave a pretty big trail.

Let's hope so.

Alright! Munroe. Move out!

They must've known

we were coming.

Hey! Water!

Wait! There's no fresh

water on this island!

- Corpsman!

- Captain! Captain, over here!

- Get the corpsman over here!

- Sergeant!

- Sergeant!

- Sergeant! Don't move.

Oh my god!

Alright, you better

keep it safe.

Captain?

Oh, Jesus Christ!

How you doing pal?

First they...

Disappear into the mist?

And then he baits us for water?

And we don't even

know what he looks like?

- Sergeant.

- He's a f***ing fox.

Sergeant, take it easy.

Save your energy.

You take care buddy.

Atten hut!

Men!

I have a problem.

And you can bet you

f***ing me, if I have a problem

You now have a problem!

I've just received an ass

chewing from Washington!

The brass is wondering

why they've received reports

of enemy activities on Saipan!?

An island that I assured

them that we had secured!

Over 4 months ago!

Now I would like to report back in

the not too distant f***ing future!

That all enemy hostilities

have ceased on this island!

Gentlemen we will hunt.

And we will destroy any and

all opposition on that mountain

Within the next 7 days.

Further!

I'm hearing some kinda nonsense!

About a Japanese officer who thinks

he's too smart to be caught!

A Fox! Sir.

Say again?

Some of the men say

He's smart like a fox, sir.

Some of the men say

He's smart like a fox, sir.

Bullshit!

That is complete and utter bullshit!

Even if there's a guy up

there running the show!

I will tell you this!

He will be gone.

Gone. Gone straight to hell.

In under a week.

I promise you that.

The enemies' area of

operation is limited to

Around the base of the mountain.

These 200 or so Jap soldiers

are holed up in this area.

And I know

I have your assurance that every

last one of them will be flushed out.

You will make a full division

sweep of the whole god damn area.

I want a line 3 miles wide

and marines at arms length.

Forget about the Japs.

Anything thats moving

or alive I want found.

I want those Japs in

custody or in the ground.

Good luck, gentlemen.

Huge lines of Americans outflanking us.

The situation will quickly

spiral out of control.

We need the civilians

out of the way.

The civilians are hampering us.

We need to ensure the

civilians are safe!

Mt Tapochau's eastern side is

endless stretches of cliffs.

But there are caves

interjecting the cliffs.

We will keep the civilians

out of harm's way there.

Slowly

The caves are camouflaged

by the jungle's tree line.

They will be safe up there.

Those searching the jungle

will never find them.

It's our only way.

C'mon.

I am sorry.

- Slowly.

- Mother.

What is it?

Okuno's not going up.

My mother's too old

and frail, sir.

She's afraid of heights

and claustrophobia.
