do you send money home?

No.

Come on, you spend it all every month!

No, mom said l must have it for the war efforts.

This is a nice place!

it's similar to Chiba Prefecture.

Chiba is not that cold

this is like a hospital.

l say it's not

We only have dead bodies here

hospitals should have patients

this is more like a medical school

Anyway this is fine by me

l eat well and l can make money

The only thing is this fat Captain

Look, isn't that Hoshino's ball?

Get it back!

Come on, lets get it back!

Let's get it back!

Stop!

There's nowhere to run!

Give the ball back to us!

This is not Hoshino's ball!

Who are you? What are you doing here?

He is a mute!

Hold on a minute!

What is wrong with him?

He's been here for over a month,

but he's still not adjusted to this place yet.

He vomits every time he goes to work.

When it happens

we have to let him take a break

it will take him a while to get used to it!

That's O.K., he'll soon get used to it!

His job is important!

we rely on the colors to determine the results

of the experiments

we can't depend totally on black and white pictures.

Look after him, see that he works well!

Sir!

Lt. Col. Nakatome Jiro

l've been transferred to the southern front by order

of the Kwangtung Army Commander

l'd like to say goodbye sir.

Congratulations,

the situation in the south is serious,

a patriotic soldier like you

should be able to achieve a lot here

especially as you have a close relationship with

the planning office

you can do a lot for the war effort!

Yes, Sir!

This must be your arrangement.

This marut

has been injected with plague three times.

But no symptoms have appeared.

So now lets conduct live dissection on him,

& see what's so special about him.

Good!

The correct data,

relies on continuous tests on experimental subjects

so these maruts,

not only have to be alive,

but they also have to be fit and healthy.

experiments on such live subjects

is a rare opportunity.

What is this?

lt's a man!

What is this?

He's a Chinese man.

What is this?

He is a bad Chinese man!

This is a marut.

lt is a log for the fire or making coffins,

it is material for experiment.

lt is called a "Marut"

What is this?

This is a marut.

What is this?

A Marut!

What is this?

A Marut!

What is this?

A Marut!

Beat him!

We must try to get evidence

& get it out of here

so the outside world knows what's going on in here.

lt's the only thing we can do!

Look, why go through all that trouble?

say we have no chance of getting out here!

You chicken! You have no back-bone!

and you... learn to be a man. Don't copy him.

You don't act like a Chinese!

Beyond Practice Ground

Order arms!

At ease!

The lessons on experiments will start tomorrow,

so work hard men, & learn well,

is that clear?

Yes, sir!

Sir, please!

let her carry it away

its her baby!

Let's go!

Please, Sir!

Bacterial Extermination Room

Quickly change your clothes!

Hurry up!

Let's go!

March 9, 1945

Outdoor Frostbite Experimental Station

Victim:
Zhao Hui Xiu, Han Chinese, 24 years old

Bacteria Breeding Room

Look, this is the "gene" production room.

This is the high temperature bacteria

exterminating room.

Look this way please,

this is the bacteria transplants,

you must study hard and learn all this as

soon as possible.

Yes, Sir!

Frostbite Experimental Room

This is the cold treatment station

At -35C for 10 hours Cold Treatment

Water temperature 15C.

March 9, 1945

Victim:
Jin Yuan Long, Manchurian, 31years old

What you are looking at now,

is a quick freezing station, it is -196C.

Finish chewing your apple,

& spit it out like l do.

Don't swallow it.

This way you can

collect the germs from the mouth.

Yes, Sir!

Go back and tell your captain,

that youll be my guests this Sunday,

we'll have drinks together.

Yes Sir!

And youll come too, O.K.?

O.K.

Thank you!

This is a question of humanity.

No!

This concerns the rise or fall of the

Great Japanese Empire.

Listen lshikawa, they are human beings too,

they have parents just like you!

What are you talking about?

Give me better justification than that!

Today is Sunday

lets not talk about business,

come on lets eat up.

This fruit is specially brought over from Japan.

Help yourselves.

Let me, you must look after your health.

Take Mrs. Takamura for example,

what's the difference between the children she bore

& the maruts?

What are you talking about?

That's not right!

You can not compare the maruts to the Japanese,

you & l speak a different language.

Please don't say anymore

l'm sorry, please excuse me.

lshikawa, wait!

lshikawa, lshikawa!

Kawasaki pushed him... from upstairs!

He's badly hurt,

lets think of a way to teach Kawasaki a lesson.

l hope you'll work well together.

To be a member of the 731 Youth Corps

we should...

obey the regulations.

l think you'd better forget about it.

Don't pretend now,

you have no guts.

Coward. Stop pretending!

April 11, 1945

Those goddamned Japs...

What the hell are they up to?

Hey Specs!

What do you think the Japs will do to us?

What did they inject into us this morning?

l have no reaction at all!

l have no idea what it was.

Why didn't those people get it too?

Be careful of contamination!

the last accident cost Sakagami & Ohtani their lives,

so be careful everyone.

Sir, according to the previous test results,

it would be a rather difficult job to produce a

Black Death Virus

that is 60times stronger.

Now this is the 7th experiment,

here is the record for the last few tests!

Sir, l've heard the Germans are using the Jews

to perform similar kinds of tests

and theyve achieved good results,

so can't we...

Dr. lshii did 2years research on this in Europe

before the war.

According to him, the German researches into that

area are fare behind ours.

Compared to this, their equipment & facilities are

fare behind ours

What they achieved so far may not be of

any use for us.

Don't be discouraged, keep up the good work,

report to me at once when the experiments

are completed.

Yes sir, l heard that Lt. Colonel Nakatome

died in action on the southern front, is that right?

Dr. lshii may have been too...

We'd better keep out of that,

You'd better concentrate on your own career.

The Empire Medical Department is waiting

for your return.

The medical future of Japan relies on you people.

Early summer 1945

Japanese were retreating from the Pacific Front

They also suffered many losses in China.

The moral of the Japanese troops was very bad.

All of Japan had been mobilized,

there were still great shortages of everything.

A large deficit of manpower for the Japanese

military resulted in more adolescents joining

the forces. The cloud of defeat loomed larger

ln other words, the success or failure of 731

decides the survival of the Empire.

So today...

we should have no more illusions about the

Kwangtung Army,

the Kwangtung Army relies on our bacterial war,
