00:07The end of the day was about to the end of the day.
00:11The end of the day was about to leave.
00:12It's not just a joke.
00:13I'm going to tell you this place.
00:17I got to tell you, I don't know.
00:19It's not a joke.
00:22I'm not afraid of the people who are trying to make me angry.
00:24I'm not afraid of the people.
00:27It's the end of the game!
00:29I'm going to kill you!
00:36I'm going to kill you!
00:38I'm going to kill you!
00:40You're the end of the game!
00:41Let's go!
00:43Lester, you have to go!
00:50This is the end of the game!
00:58It's the end of the game!
01:00I'm going to talk to you about the country!
01:33The end of the game!
01:34The end of the game!
01:35The end of the game!
02:01The end of the game!
02:03The ending of the game!
02:05The end of the game!
02:55Good night.
02:58Have a good day.
03:28Have a good day.
04:51I didn't see you at breakfast.
04:54I ain't in the barracks.
04:55It seemed easier.
05:00Has it been any better?
05:02With the women in your barrack?
05:04It's the same.
05:06Awkward.
05:07Fine.
05:08Just like Catholics, but all over again.
05:11And I survived that.
05:16You don't have to do that.
05:18They don't have to do that.
05:22It sure looks nice on you.
05:24It doesn't.
05:26But low in options.
05:29You can get some new stuff when we go home.
05:32When would that be?
05:35Two weeks.
05:37Or months.
05:40Tops.
05:41What?
05:45I don't know.
05:48I don't know.
05:55I don't know.
05:58I don't know.
05:59You can get some.
06:18Asako-san, any word from Henry-san?
06:24I pray the spirits haven't taken them.
06:32It's not good for me.
06:45She didn't need to come here.
06:50But she did. Doesn't that say something?
06:58Look.
07:02It's a mess.
07:06It's a mess.
07:27Those birds, are they swallows?
07:31I don't know the first thing about birds.
07:33We're about to start when we're supposed to be building the fence.
07:37The big chief, Bowen?
07:40Major Bowen.
07:41The difference is mosquitoes stop sucking when you hit them.
07:47You working hard, boys?
07:51What's your name, son?
07:53Chester. Chester Nakayama.
07:56Nakayama?
07:57I knew what Nakayama was.
07:59Or was Nakamura?
08:01Either way, he was a hell of a gardener.
08:04When will the fence be completed?
08:06A month at the most, Major.
08:07Good. I don't need anybody going AWOL.
08:10So you boys better build me a nice, solid fence.
08:13You're supposed to be industrious.
08:17Keto.
08:21I guess it's no surprise that the guy who runs this place is an asshole.
08:27How long have you been here?
08:29About a month. You?
08:31Got here last week from San Francisco.
08:33My parents and my brother.
08:35All their sisters in Manzanar.
08:36Sounds terrible there.
08:38It's terrible here.
08:40Hey, where are you from?
08:41We're from Terminal Island?
08:47Can't miss what you never had, right?
08:52Huh.
08:53I never thought I'd see that.
08:56What the hell?
08:57Those guys are Nisei.
08:59I heard that they're recruiting overseas translators.
09:02That's rich.
09:03I thought we were supposed to be the enemy.
09:06It just is tough.
09:07Even guys who have studied in Japan don't pass.
09:13You're not considering it, are you?
09:16They put us in here and expect us to sign up?
09:19Screw that.
09:21Yeah.
09:22We'll see you later.
09:23Let's see.
09:38I'll see you later.
16:03She's just trying to help.
16:04You should go.
18:42I'm not a doctor.
19:11I can't.
19:12So, how can I help?
19:15My name is Fumi Yoshida.
19:17My daughter, Amy, would like to offer her secretarial services.
19:22Does she have any experience?
19:24She knows shorthand, and how fast can you type?
19:2960 words per minute.
19:31But more than that, she would love to help her country during a time of war.
19:38Wouldn't you, Amy?
19:44So much paperwork, I could certainly use a new secretary.
19:48Especially one as patriotic as your daughter.
20:22Furuya-san.
20:26Furuya-san.
20:30Furuya-san.
20:31It's Chester.
20:33I brought you some sake.
20:34Homemade.
20:36Where is Toshiro?
20:38Is he okay?
20:39He's with my mother.
20:40She's taking care of him.
20:45What happened today?
20:47Why did you attack him?
20:48I didn't.
20:49It wasn't me.
20:51Tell him.
20:52Tell him it wasn't me.
20:55Then what was it?
20:58Do you remember saying something about swallows?
21:03I felt something inside of me.
21:10Haunting you?
21:13Has this happened to you?
21:17No.
21:19But I've seen it.
21:22It doesn't stop.
21:25It's with me.
21:26Where am I going?
21:29You're going to be next.
21:31Is that a hug, GMP?
21:33Get out of here.
21:34Or they'll put you in with me.
21:39Tester, you have to go.
21:41Tester, you have to go.
21:55Sorry, but I don't buy it.
21:57You got a lot more marbles than Furuya-san.
21:59He said he felt like he was being watched.
22:01And now he cracked up.
22:04Mike.
22:06I don't like my dad.
22:09Hey, that day, when he came running to us,
22:12he said, you have to go.
22:15Was that the both of us?
22:18No, it was just you.
22:21Chester, you have to go.
22:23Why would he say that?
22:25You're not wondering.
22:27She's not in there.
22:29Do you know where she is?
22:30I think she went to the infirmary.
22:34I don't need a band-aid.
22:36I need you to make sure my baby's okay.
22:37I need you all good.
22:39Luce, are you okay?
22:41I feel.
22:42I'm fine.
22:43I want this doctor to detect the baby,
22:45but all he's done is giving me a stupid band-aid for my arm.
23:04He needs you to lie down.
23:33Baby's fine.
23:34Yeah.
23:35Just fine.
23:35I feel the kick.
23:37Oh, my God.
23:42How did this happen?
23:44It was stupid.
23:46I was walking out to use a latrine,
23:49and, you know, with the wind and the rain,
23:51I lost my footing on the steps.
23:52Because of the wind?
23:55You just fell.
23:57I told you it was too bad.
24:02You're sure it was an accident?
24:03Of course.
24:05What else could it be?
24:07What else could it be?
24:28What are you doing?
24:37Where are you taking me?
24:40Please!
24:45Please!
24:46I've done nothing!
25:03Help!
25:06Targa!
25:31私のことを覚えていますか?ビールでも
25:33,何で…あの夜…
25:36Do you remember what I was talking about?
25:41I don't remember...
25:47You said it, right?
25:51I was talking about what I was talking about...
25:54I understand...
25:58I understand...
26:00I don't know...
26:03I'm sorry...
26:05I'm sorry.
26:06I'm sorry.
26:10What do I want?
26:13One thing...
26:30Oh, my God.
27:04Oh, my God.
27:34Oh, my God.
27:41Oh, my God.
27:43Oh, my God.
28:13It doesn't make any sense.
28:14I don't know what your dad said to me at the racetrack.
28:16Not again.
28:17And your mom?
28:19She said there's evil around me.
28:21What if she's right?
28:22So what?
28:23You really think if you go, it'll follow you?
28:29Good luck trying to leave this place.
28:35Have you done any translation work before?
28:38Going to Japanese language school?
28:39Well, mostly, I just speak some at home.
28:43Let's start with the military translation.
28:49Okay, so this is a step-by-step guide to using a rifle.
28:54An Arisaka type or a Yuhan, maybe.
29:02It says to manually adjust the seeing device.
29:10Oh, the sight, I guess.
29:13From a 5 to a 2.5.
29:21Sorry, there are a lot of weaponry terms I'm unfamiliar with.
29:26Look at this.
29:27We found it on a soldier.
29:36Oh, it's We Made It to New Guinea.
29:41Then thick.
29:43The air is thick.
29:45Not like Osaka.
29:48Cherry blossoms fall.
29:51An orchid.
29:54This is a poem.
29:56Inside the letter.
29:59Um, the window.
30:02Um, where I was born, maybe.
30:07I will be dreaming of it tomorrow.
30:11I hope to be home for the next bloom.
30:18Anything else?
30:21That's all that it says.
30:22I appreciate you coming in.
30:25Sir.
30:27Please.
30:29I have people depending on me.
30:31In order to help them, I have to get out of here.
30:34I appreciate that, but I need people who can translate letters like this with ease.
30:40Translate?
30:41Or break the code?
30:43What code?
30:46The weird tonka.
30:48The one I can barely translate.
30:50The language is, um...
30:51What's a tonka?
30:53A five-line poem.
30:55Five, seven, five, seven, seven.
30:5831 beats.
31:00My mom used to read books of them.
31:03What's strange about this poem?
31:06The wording is unusual, and not just because it's poetry.
31:14Um...
31:14The author switched things around so that the first syllable of each line, when you say it together in a
31:22row, spells something out.
31:29That's Salamaua, isn't it?
31:32That spot in New Guinea from the news a while back?
31:37I'm guessing you knew that already.
31:40I'm just curious.
31:42How many other guys saw it?
31:49You're joining the army?
31:52It's an opportunity to earn a real wage.
31:55More than I've made...
31:56ever.
31:58It says you're shipping out in two days.
32:00I can't be right.
32:02Where are they even sending you?
32:04And for how long?
32:06I'll start in Minnesota.
32:08For training.
32:11Then...
32:12wherever I'm needed.
32:13But I'll send all the money home.
32:17Home?
32:20What home?
32:23I know it's a shock.
32:25I do.
32:27You're running away.
32:32My parents.
32:33They'll take care of you.
32:35I don't want them to take care of me.
32:36I need to know that you'll be okay.
32:37Then stay.
32:44There has to be another way.
32:46Other people here are managing.
32:48I'm not like other people.
32:54Isn't this what you want from me?
32:59That's what I'm doing.
33:00That's what this is.
33:05I swear to you, all of this, it's for you and the baby.
33:20What if you don't come back.
33:25I'm a translator.
33:28I won't see any combat.
33:54I won't see any of you, all of this.
33:59Maybe.
34:03You know...
34:06We've never danced together.
34:13And if you're leaving...
34:18We should rectify that.
34:29You know...
34:37Candy...
34:37It's gonna be just candy...
34:41The day I take my candy...
34:46An acre mine all mine...
35:14I see you found the sake.
35:20So...
35:20Mom told you I'm leaving?
35:23I'm gonna be a translator in a new military intelligence service...
35:27With other Nisei.
35:30So what's keeping you?
35:33Go.
35:40Lucy's gonna move in here, Pop.
35:43And you...
35:50I know you've been through a lot.
35:53I do.
35:55But Mom can't do everything.
35:58I need you to get out of bed and take care of this family.
36:01And that includes Luz.
36:04I sacrificed so much for you, and this is how you repay it.
36:10By leaving your family so you can run off and be a spy.
36:17You told me to enlist.
36:19That was before I knew what they were capable of.
36:25Roosevelt.
36:27The government.
36:29They see us as rats.
36:33Once we win the war, they won't look at us like that again.
36:37I used to think like that.
36:40You treat people good.
36:43They see the good in you.
36:46The truth.
36:51But you get old.
36:53You learn.
36:55They don't.
36:57They beat me.
36:59They left me in the cold.
37:02And now you join them.
37:08But they sent you back here.
37:11You're here now.
37:12With Ma.
37:14You have a grandbaby on the way.
37:16And yet...
37:18You just sit here.
37:20That's no way to live.
37:22It's not.
37:24But this is what we do.
37:28Come on.
37:31But you...
37:33You run away.
37:42Go.
37:44If you have to go, Chester.
37:47You have to go.
37:54At least I'm doing something.
38:03How much did you tell Luce?
38:06Just that it's a good job.
38:08She's worried enough as it is.
38:25That Ken guy.
38:27You're being nice to you.
38:37You're going to look so handsome in uniform.
38:42We'll see you after Luce.
38:45Pop will come around.
38:56I found a woman who was making dresses.
38:59In case you get sick of wearing my shirts.
39:14How did you pay for it?
39:17I traded my camera for it.
39:20Chester.
39:24Write as much as you can.
39:42Chester, my hair.
39:47I forgot my hair.
40:05What's she doing?
40:06If Chester dies and there's no body, she can cremate the hair.
40:10Give him a proper burial.
40:51Do you know if there's another doctor at the camp?
40:54Why, what's wrong?
41:00I feel fine.
41:01But I don't want to see Dr. Kitamura again.
41:06A woman in the mess suit told me about a midwife in the new barracks north of the guard tower.
41:13Why don't I come with you?
41:15I can make it.
41:16Arigato.
41:43I'm sorry.
41:44I don't understand.
41:47Can you tell me if the head, is it down?
41:52The head down?
41:54Mm-mm.
41:55Oh, okay.
42:02Okay.
42:03That's her, Liam.
42:06Oh...
42:07Oh, no.
42:10Oh, no.
42:11Oh, no.
42:13Oh, no.
42:15Oh, no.
