Battle of the Pacific Page #5

---

Please translate that I will convince

the commander to surrender.

Mr. Baba says he will

go up the mountain.

And convince them

to come down.

Well, Mr. Baba, if a Japanese person like

yourself can convince them to down down

I'm happy to have you try.

Perhaps a little Japanese to Japanese

talk will do us all some good.

At this point, we

have nothing to lose.

The Colonel agrees.

Thank you.

Captain, you have my permission

to do whatever you need to do.

To bring about a better peaceful resolution.

Please make sure Motoki-san here,

gets whatever he needs too.

Ito?

Ito!

We're out of medicine

and bandages.

How do you expect me

to work this way?

Cool down. We are aware of

the lack medical supplies.

Don't you understand!?

I have no antibiotics

to help anyone!

People will die!

My comrades have

died as well!

Enough!

Both of you.

We can get drugs and medicine from

the shelter hospital (Susupe Camp).

Only I know what is needed.

- So let me go with you

- For the drugs...

I will find a way.

- Commander?

- Move it!

Faster!

Walk faster!

Move!

- Kneel.

- This bastard is a Yankee lackey.

Baba?

Why are you here?

I'm here to convince

you to surrender.

Do you think we're weak!?

Stop!

The Americans put you

up to this?

I'm doing this for

my children...

You're not here to see

your children.

You're here to sniff out

our defenses.

I want to save my children!

I want to take them safe!

Is that wrong!?

Shut up! Traitor!

You have shamed Imperial Japan!

Stop your tears.

Your children will never

look up to you again.

Leave.

Oba?

If my children are killed

I'll

never forgive you.

Aono, what is it?

Where are we going?

Gonna show me something?

What?

I need your help.

What is it?

Please wait outside.

I will call you if he

agrees to meet with you.

Okay. But if and only if he agrees.

I don't want him to think

that we're trying to track him.

Of course, captain.

Don't worry about us.

We'll stay outta your way.

Thank you.

"Medical Supply Room"

Quickly...

Wait...

It's time.

Thank you. This will

be most helpful.

Oba? Would you

not reconsider?

Enough! We will fight

to the last breath.

In fact, I have brought

the U.S. Captain.

Fall back!

No. it isn't me.

Get back! Get back!

Get em' clear!

Go...!

C'mon! Let's go!

Don't shoot! Stop!

You don't understand! Don't shoot!

- Fire!

- Men down!

Fire! Fire...!

- Captain!

- Cover!

Help the Captain!

- Japs through the fence!

- Japs on the left!

Get em' ...!

Aono!

Captain!

Fall back!

Going into the trees!

Cover!

Cease fire! Cease fire!

Copper? Danny?

Get them out of here.

- The hell just happened?

- Alright! Check these men!

- Yes, sir!

- I don't know.

River's not gonna make it.

Somebody's over here!

Let's get these guys

to the hospital.

Captain. You alright?

I'm fine.

A traitor?

What?

Traitor's Japanese.

Horiuchi's dead.

Aono...

may still be alive.

We must not let the civilians

go to the shelters.

Don't you understand?

They will only be a pawn

for the enemy.

They'll be killed.

Food and medicine are

in short supply.

We can no longer take

care of them.

Think of the civilians.

Wouldn't it be better for

them in the shelter?

Captain.

Though you are

the commander.

You are no different from the enemy.

I beg to differ.

I believe.

Japan will once again

set foot on this land.

And when that time comes.

I hope you will

Remember Mount Tapochau often.

During this time that

we have stayed together.

And through everything

we've endured.

These memories will

not be in vain.

Bring these back with

you to Japan!

Oshiro?

It's been an honour.

Truth is. I'm relieved to leave.

C'mon.

TO OUR GOOD AND LOYAL SUBJECTS:

We have ordered our government to communicate

to the governments of the United States,

Great Britain, China and the Soviet Union that Our Empire

accepts the provisions of their Joint Declaration.

Emperor Hirohito's announcement of

Japan's unconditional surrender was recorded

and later broadcast to his loyal subjects.

Here too at Camp Susupe.

This is impossible!

This is propaganda!

They have time and

again tried to deceive us!

They want all of us dead!

Enough of this nonsense!

Ikegami?

Why didn't you leave

with the rest?

Why are you still here?

I believe in the commander

And your ability to overcome.

I will not leave.

I am not sure I'll win.

What will you say then?

I never thought of that.

Think carefully.

Report.

Security at the shelter has

become lax.

We can penetrate effortlessly.

Find out why!

According to the Americans.

The Army of the Empire of Greater Japan has lost.

August 6th, Hiroshima.

August 9th, Nagasaki.

A new bomb was detonated.

Cities and towns were destroyed

Countless dead.

That's why..

His Majesty, the Emperor

Ordered an end of hostilities.

Japan...

Lost.

Fight to the last breath!

Remember our commands!

Even with the knowledge of

Japan's total capitulation.

Neither Oba nor his men are willing to

come down off the mountain.

You wanted to meet me, Colonel?

Yeah! Come in, Captain.

according to a message from the Japanese camp.

Oba is saying that he wants to meet.

Oba does?

Has he agreed to surrender?

No.

He wants to meet with the representatives

of the American armed forces.

Captain Oba is nothing,

if not consistent.

He wants it his way,

right til the bitter end.

I like to be the one to meet him.

If you would permit me, sir.

Permission granted.

Thank you, sir.

You admire him. Don't you, Captain?

I do, sir.

Where'd you learn English?

In Singapore.

Because of war.

You speak good English.

Thank you.

You got a American girlfriend?

No.

Watch the road.

Please stop.

What's that?

You guys wait here.

That man that night killed...

I apologize.

Captain Lewis is able

to speak Japanese.

He would like speak to you.

Commander Oba?

It's a real honour.

I lived in Japan for 2 years.

I really like Kabuki actor Uzaemon.

Unfortunately he died.

If there's another war

That will be most tragic.

You fought honorably.

But the war is over.

We are no longer

your enemy.

Captain Oba. Let's return to Japan.

We will not surrender.

Neither do we intend

come down the mountain.

However...

Imperial military doctrine states

absolute obedience to their superiors.

Commands with strict compliance.

Really?

- Hold your fire!

- Wait, wait...!

Why?

He is a traitor.

I was just doing my duty.

Commander Oba?

Will you let this go on?

Will you let this go on!?

Okuno?

Yes?

I heard the Captain is

coming down from the mountain.

Really?

We'll prepare some clean

clothes for them.

We'll soon see the Captain?

Captain and his men

can wear these.

You summoned me, Captain?

Imperial General Headquarters

have sent word.

Major General Umahachi Ano

have issued a lay down of arms.

Yes!

What do you suggest?

Nothing.

We hereby command all Japanese forces

wherever situated to cease hostilities.

Pursuant to and in accordance with

the proclamation of the Emperor of Japan.
