00:02:34I'm here to see Chief Murataka.
00:02:43Yes, I understand.
00:02:50I heard there was a riot at Akita Prison.
00:02:54Akita?
00:02:56The one who ran away was Seitaro Sakuma, who was here last year.
00:03:01I heard you were in charge, and Sakuma was loyal to you.
00:03:05The police may have some questions for you.
00:03:08I'll tell them.
00:03:10Yes, sir.
00:03:11Judiciary officials are very strict.
00:03:14Sakuma even ran away in Aomori.
00:03:16Sakuma even ran away in Aomori.
00:03:18Akita knew he was dangerous, so he let him in.
00:03:23I don't think there was an accident, but be careful.
00:03:26I'm counting on you, Murataka.
00:03:30My father was a former officer at Kosuge Prison.
00:03:46He was a good officer.
00:03:50The U.S. Navy launched an attack on the U.S. Army

00:04:31You...
00:04:33You...
00:04:43I wanted to see you.
00:04:50So I looked for you.
00:04:52So I looked for you.
00:05:01Finally, I'm home.
00:05:06The police in Akita beat me up.
00:05:09They beat me up for everything.
00:05:11They beat me up for everything.
00:05:16And it's cold in winter.
00:05:19Poisonous bees are not humans.
00:05:22Poisonous bees are not humans.
00:05:40I was going to have someone in Tokyo sue you.
00:05:45I was going to have someone in Tokyo sue you.
00:05:49Sue me?
00:05:56You...
00:06:01You never hit me.
00:06:06Never.
00:06:19Your feet are dirty.
00:06:23Go take a shower.
00:06:26Here.
00:06:44I'm Sakuma Seitaro.
00:06:47Yes, please.
00:06:49This is my house.
00:06:51That's right.
00:07:03I washed my feet.
00:07:05I washed my feet.
00:07:15You...
00:07:17You ran away from the window of the Akita prison.
00:07:20You ran away from the window of the Akita prison.

00:07:31How did you get up there?
00:07:35How did you get up there?
00:07:39Yamori.
00:07:44Sakuma Seitaro, who was exiled by his father,
00:07:47was sentenced to three years in Tokyo.
00:07:52was sentenced to three years in Tokyo.
00:07:56He was sent back to prison.

00:08:05At the time, Tokyo was expected to be bombed by the US military.
00:08:09At the time, Tokyo was expected to be bombed by the US military.
00:08:20He went to Abashiri Prison in Hokkaido.
00:08:27Sakuma.
00:08:29Don't take off your handcuffs in front of me.
00:08:38My hand hurts.
00:08:51Abashiri is cold.
00:09:00I was born in Aomori.
00:09:03I was born in Aomori.
00:09:05It was a cold and painful place.
00:09:08It was a cold and painful place.
00:09:10That's why I got a toothache when I was in Abashiri.
00:09:13That's why I got a toothache when I was in Abashiri.
00:09:15You killed a man.
00:09:17You killed a man.
00:09:19You have to be punished for that.
00:09:25That's a good punishment.
00:09:30Let's go.
00:09:34Sakuma went to Abashiri
00:09:37on the eve of the 18th year of the Showa Era.
00:09:43This was the beginning of a long battle between death and Sakuma.
00:09:48This was the beginning of a long battle between death and Sakuma.
00:10:00The End
00:10:08The 18th year of the Showa Era was a year when Japan realized that it had fallen into a war.
00:10:15The defense force of Atsuto was wiped out
00:10:18and the commander-in-chief of the Allied Fleet, Isoroku Yamagoto, was killed.
00:10:24The people were engulfed in that painful battle.
00:10:35Abashiri.
00:10:37It's me.
00:10:39There was an emergency this morning.
00:10:41You are appointed as a supervisor at Abashiri Prison.
00:10:44There will be an official notice next month.
00:10:49I didn't want to let you go.
00:10:54Abashiri.
00:11:02What is this?
00:11:04The Japanese History of the National History Museum.
00:11:07Is this a suicide note?
00:11:09No.
00:11:13It's not.
00:11:15It's a diary from the Edo period.
00:11:18What kind of diary is this?
00:11:21I'm sorry to tell you this,
00:11:24but the person who donated this diary is a famous scholar.
00:11:28I think it's a misunderstanding.
00:11:32Whether it's a misunderstanding or not,
00:11:34it's up to me to decide!
00:11:40You must be busy.
00:11:43Tokyo is in danger because of the war.
00:11:46I've been asked to keep this precious diary.
00:11:59What are you doing today?
00:12:04I haven't been to the grave for a while.
00:12:08I came to say hello to my mother and Hiroshi.
00:12:12I also came to visit Ishida's house.
00:12:15Is Ishida home?
00:12:17Yes.
00:12:18He's a little old, isn't he?
00:12:21He said it was a great help that you were there.
00:12:26He said that if you live with him for three years,
00:12:30he will think of you as his daughter.
00:12:37But I've been told a lot lately
00:12:40that I should go back to Tokyo soon.
00:12:43Because my real father lives alone.
00:12:48Don't worry about me.
00:12:51Besides, I'll be away from Tokyo for a while.
00:12:55I'm going to transfer.
00:12:56Ms. Murata!
00:12:58Can you help me?
00:13:00Yes.
00:13:02Transfer?
00:13:04Ms. Murata!
00:13:06Yes.
00:13:07It's okay.
00:13:08You're in the way.
00:13:10Hurry up.
00:13:13Bye.
00:13:25There's a subtle connection between my father and I.
00:13:30It's been like that ever since I lost my mother and brother.
00:13:34I heard from my aunt that my father was transferred to a faraway place.
00:13:43A FEW HOURS LATER
00:14:02Excuse me!
00:14:03Excuse me.
00:14:05Excuse me.
00:14:09I'm Furiwara, a nomad who's in charge of the forestry in Saga.
00:14:15I'm going inside.
00:14:16Yes, sir.
00:14:35A FEW HOURS LATER
00:14:40My husbands are my children.
00:14:44We have a mutual love for each other.
00:14:48We will unite this prison.
00:14:52That is our duty.
00:14:57Your Excellency, Yamamoto Isoroku.
00:15:03When we think of this crisis,
00:15:07when we think of this crisis,
00:15:11our duty is to unite this Abashiri prison.
00:15:18Chief Murata!
00:15:20Yes, sir!
00:15:26Chief Murata.
00:15:28Thank you for coming.
00:15:32I'm impressed that you came as soon as you arrived.
00:15:37I'm impressed that you came as soon as you arrived.
00:15:42Please come in.
00:15:44You, go inside.
00:15:46Yes, sir!
00:15:51It's been a month since Sakuma came here.
00:15:56It seems that Izumi and the others are having a hard time.
00:16:02When I heard that you were coming here,
00:16:06When I heard that you were coming here,
00:16:08I was relieved.
00:16:10You are one of the few people who have taken care of Sakuma.
00:16:16No, I didn't take care of Sakuma.
00:16:21Mr. Gouken, I know that you are a great prison officer.
00:16:26I know that you are a great prison officer.
00:16:32I know that you are a great prison officer.
00:16:35You know that, don't you?
00:16:37Yes, sir!
00:16:38I heard that the prison officers who collapsed in the quake
00:16:41evacuated over 1,000 prisoners to a nearby base
00:16:43and left no survivors.
00:16:46And meanwhile, your family died in the fire.
00:16:50And meanwhile, your family died in the fire.
00:16:51We all know that you are responsible for the safety of your family.
00:16:57We all know that you are responsible for the safety of your family.
00:17:04That's what I was thinking.
00:17:08That's what I was thinking.
00:17:09Mr. Murata, in the 11th year of the Taisho era,
00:17:14I haven't released a single detainee since I became a prison guard.
00:17:20The former president was proud of it.
00:17:26I can't imagine that it will be broken on my behalf.
00:17:33I will never let Sakuma get away.
00:17:48I'm almost dead.
00:17:54Until then, I want to pray for a safe funeral.
00:18:03If you want me to pray for a safe funeral,
00:18:07I have a question for you.
00:18:11What is it?
00:18:13I'm afraid that if you don't let me eat,
00:18:18I will be a criminal.
00:18:22Sakuma, don't come here!
00:18:24The color of your red neck has been identified.
00:18:27It's not good to sleep with your face out of bed at night.
00:18:31I'm going to kill you!
00:18:33I'm going to punish you!
00:18:37But Sakuma,
00:18:39I'm going to get rid of that notebook.
00:18:43There's no point in punishing you.
00:18:45I'm going to lock you up in the base.
00:18:48You're going to be in trouble.
00:18:52I've been in charge of Sakuma for a year and a half.
00:18:59I couldn't figure out what kind of person that man was.
00:19:04So I decided to start over.
00:19:10Please gather 1,000 people in the office.
00:19:19That's good.
00:19:22Let's go when there are no Japanese officers.
00:19:25It's time for Sakuma to be careful.
00:19:28Don't make a sound.
00:19:56Sakuma
00:20:00Sakuma
00:20:03Sakuma
00:20:06Sakuma
00:20:09Sakuma
00:20:12Sakuma
00:20:15Sakuma
00:20:18Sakuma
00:20:22Sakuma
00:20:27Sakuma
00:20:31Show me your hand.
00:20:52Why don't you come to the courthouse?
00:20:55You can escape.
00:20:57I want you to come back soon.
00:20:59This is a fight with him.
00:21:08How did you do it?
00:21:11Tell me!
00:21:21I'm sorry.
00:21:27What were you doing?
00:21:34I was looking for it.
00:21:37Stand up.
00:21:44You did it.
00:21:47Why are you here?
00:21:49Let's go.
00:21:52I'll see what you did.
00:21:55Open your mouth.
00:22:06How did you do it?
00:22:09When I was sleeping at night,
00:22:12I couldn't stand the pain.
00:22:20Sakuma
00:22:23Sakuma
00:22:26Is this what you wanted?
00:22:35How did you get that knife?
00:22:42I got it from the court.
00:22:50There's only one knife missing.
00:22:53Did you cut the paper?
00:22:56I'll hide it somewhere.
00:22:58Find it.
00:23:01Wait.
00:23:07Get down.
00:23:10Get down.
00:23:13Get down.
00:23:19Get down.
00:23:27You told me not to do it in front of me.
00:23:34Why did you put me in this cold place?
00:23:41I thought you understood me.
00:23:45Don't talk nonsense.
00:23:48Think about what you did.
00:23:51I'll punish you.
00:23:54I'll punish you.
00:23:57Thank you.
00:24:07You bastard!
00:24:10I'll make you regret it.
00:24:13I'll make you regret it.
00:24:16Get up.
00:24:19Get up.
00:24:39I'll be careful when you get there.
00:24:43What did you say?
00:24:47Sakuma
00:24:49From now on, I'm in charge.
00:24:52Watch your mouth.
00:24:55You can't escape.
00:25:02That's up to you.
00:25:07Tomita
00:25:09Call this bastard.
00:25:20You put mud on my face.
00:25:25What's that?
00:25:37What's that?
00:25:48I told you about Yamaguchi.
00:25:52I told you how I got out of the Akita prison.
00:25:56Bastard.
00:26:03Bastard.
00:26:26Bastard.
00:26:57Bastard.
00:27:00Bastard.
00:27:03Bastard.
00:27:06Bastard.
00:27:13Sakuma Seitaro
00:27:16Head of the Aomori-ken Higashi-tsugaru-gun Yokkawa-mura 35th branch
00:27:22July 31st, 1982
00:27:27The first half was on April 9th, 1982.
00:27:32I snuck into a grocery store in Ohara-mura, Higashi-tsugaru-gun.
00:27:37I tried to escape by stealing gloves and candy.
00:27:42Bastard.
00:27:45Bastard.
00:27:48I cut myself with the sword I had to save my friends.
00:27:56I was about to die.
00:27:59Bastard.
00:28:01Bastard.
00:28:03I was arrested in January, 1912.
00:28:07I was sentenced to life imprisonment in Aomori.
00:28:16Aomori-kun?
00:28:19Yes.
00:28:20I have a board meeting in Hakodate next week.
00:28:25I thought I'd give it a try.
00:28:28Aomori is where Sakuma was born, right?
00:28:34Yes.
00:28:37I thought I'd give it a try.
00:29:07Here you go.
00:29:09Good boy.
00:29:11Good boy.
00:29:13Here you go.
00:29:15Here you go.
00:29:17Here you go.
00:29:23Are you a cop too?
00:29:27Yes.
00:29:29Sometimes I come here
00:29:31and talk to my mom.
00:29:34The police
00:29:36always bring me sweets.
00:29:39Sweets?
00:29:42Tommy!
00:29:44I brought you an egg.
00:29:48Toriko,
00:29:50the door is open.
00:29:52Okay.
00:30:03My name is Urata,
00:30:05and I work for the Abashiri police station.
00:30:07I'm sorry
00:30:09to bother you
00:30:11so suddenly.
00:30:13If you're talking about Saguma,
00:30:15I've already told the police
00:30:17everything.
00:30:21I'm sorry
00:30:23to bother you
00:30:25so suddenly.
00:30:27I've already told the police
00:30:29everything.
00:30:33I came here
00:30:35to ask you
00:30:39to visit him.
00:30:43If you can't do that,
00:30:45at least
00:30:47write him a letter.
00:30:49A letter?
00:30:53How can I write him a letter?
00:30:57Tell him not to escape
00:30:59and to
00:31:01be patient
00:31:03and wait patiently.
00:31:05Is that how you write him a letter?
00:31:07If you keep doing that,
00:31:09he'll be patient
00:31:11for a long time.
00:31:13If you don't be rebellious,
00:31:15the country will be kind.
00:31:17If you leave
00:31:19as soon as possible,
00:31:21you can come back to this house.
00:31:25How long has it been?
00:31:2715 years?
00:31:2920 years?
00:31:33Abashiri is cold.
00:31:35Sometimes I heard
00:31:37that he was dying.
00:31:41He is weak to cold.
00:31:45I don't know
00:31:47if he can survive.
00:31:49That's...
00:31:51I don't know
00:31:53if he can survive.
00:31:5715 years is a long time.
00:32:0120 years is even longer.
00:32:05If I meet him,
00:32:07I'll tell him
00:32:11to come back
00:32:13as soon as possible.
00:32:17I'll tell him
00:32:19he is my god.
00:32:27I'll tell him
00:32:29he is my god.
00:32:33This is not good.
00:32:47I used to eat
00:32:49this kind of food.
00:32:53My father drank a lot
00:32:55and had a lot of debt.
00:32:57When I was 15,
00:32:59I was sold to a house in Hakodate.
00:33:03I was told
00:33:05I could buy a house
00:33:07if I worked hard
00:33:09to pay off my debt.
00:33:11But no matter how much I earned,
00:33:13I couldn't pay off my debt.
00:33:17When I saw my sisters
00:33:19who were dying,
00:33:21I thought
00:33:23I had to do something.
00:33:29Then
00:33:31I met Sakuma.
00:33:41Sakuma was
00:33:43a regular customer
00:33:47who came to see me
00:33:49every time a ship entered the harbor.
00:33:53He was a regular customer
00:33:55who came to see me
00:33:57every time a ship entered the harbor.
00:34:07I borrowed money
00:34:09from a ship company
00:34:11two years ago.
00:34:17All of it.
00:34:23Why, Michan?
00:34:29Be free.
00:34:43At that time,
00:34:45I thought
00:34:47he was
00:34:49my god.
00:34:53But
00:34:55I had a lot of debt
00:34:57at that time.
00:34:59After I got together with him,
00:35:01I started to
00:35:03gamble.
00:35:05I thought
00:35:07I could pay off my debt
00:35:09at once.
00:35:11And
00:35:13I did that.
00:35:19So
00:35:21I don't
00:35:23write letters anymore.
00:35:25I don't say
00:35:27I'll be with you forever.
00:35:29We are a couple.
00:35:31We are a couple.
00:35:33I wanted to be with you forever.
00:35:35I wanted to be with you forever.
00:35:37So
00:35:39you can run away.
00:35:41You can leave the country.
00:35:43You can leave the country.
00:35:45I want you to come back soon.
00:35:51I want you to come back soon.
00:35:57I want you to come back soon.
00:36:01I want you to come back soon.
00:36:07My mom
00:36:11and Hiroshi
00:36:13died.
00:36:17My house was burned down.
00:36:21They died.
00:36:25My dad
00:36:27won't come back soon.
00:36:45The long war
00:36:47was a heavy burden
00:36:49for the Japanese.
00:36:51The road was built
00:36:53to attack from the north.
00:36:55The prisoners
00:36:57were hired to do the work.
00:36:59Sakuma Seitaro
00:37:01was treated as a
00:37:03merciless prisoner.
00:37:05He was not allowed
00:37:07to work in the prison
00:37:09like other prisoners.
00:37:11He was put in solitary confinement.
00:37:19It's 7.30.
00:37:21What's wrong?
00:37:27It's 7.30.
00:37:29What's wrong?
00:37:31Mr. Tanto.
00:37:33Mr. Tanto.
00:37:35Mr. Tanto.
00:37:37It's been noisy
00:37:39for a while.
00:37:41Mr. Tanto.
00:37:43It's been noisy
00:37:45for a while.
00:37:47I want you to
00:37:49do something
00:37:51about the handcuffs.
00:37:55Mr. Tanto.
00:38:05The handcuffs
00:38:07are crushed.
00:38:09We can't take them off.
00:38:11Who can?
00:38:13The ones who crushed the handcuffs.
00:38:15The workers?
00:38:17That's right.
00:38:19The workers
00:38:21went out to work.
00:38:23They won't come back
00:38:25for 10 days.
00:38:27We can't take them off.
00:38:29Do you think
00:38:31we can take them off?
00:38:33You took off
00:38:35the handcuffs
00:38:37and we were punished.
00:38:39I was cut in half.
00:38:41Of course.
00:38:45Take them off.
00:38:49Take them off.
00:38:51Take them off.
00:38:53Take them off.
00:38:55Take them off.
00:38:57Take them off.
00:38:59Take them off.
00:39:01Take them off.
00:39:03Take them off.
00:39:05Take them off.
00:39:07Take them off.
00:39:15Take them off.
00:39:17Take them off.
00:39:19Take them off.
00:39:45Take them off.
00:39:47Take them off.
00:40:13The handcuffs were crushed
00:40:15and maggots came out.
00:40:19Did they give you medicine?
00:40:23Yes.
00:40:25But they didn't heal
00:40:27and maggots kept coming out.
00:40:35Let's end this.
00:40:37Don't you want to leave?
00:40:43You promised
00:40:45you wouldn't
00:40:47take off the handcuffs.
00:40:49It'll be easier
00:40:51if you do that.
00:41:01Do you have a day off?
00:41:03Yes.
00:41:05When?
00:41:09I can't tell you.
00:41:13I'm sorry.
00:41:15I had to run away
00:41:17that day.
00:41:21My father was disappointed in me.
00:41:25He thought I was a good person.
00:41:29He never hit me
00:41:31and treated me like
00:41:33everyone else.
00:41:37That's not all.
00:41:41He told me
00:41:43about you.
00:41:45He believed
00:41:47you'd understand
00:41:49my pain.
00:41:51What did he tell you?
00:41:53A lot.
00:41:55I don't know.
00:42:07He told me
00:42:09about the Great East Japan Earthquake.
00:42:13The Great East Japan Earthquake.
00:42:19He told me
00:42:21about you.
00:42:25He told me
00:42:27you protected your family
00:42:31and that you were a good person.
00:42:35He said
00:42:37it must have been hard
00:42:39for you
00:42:41to leave your family behind.
00:42:51But I understand now.
00:42:55He's just like
00:42:57Mr. Izumite.
00:42:59He always
00:43:01hits me
00:43:03and tells me
00:43:05to get along with him.
00:43:09That's what he's like.
00:43:13It's easy
00:43:15to find out
00:43:17what he's like.
00:43:19I'll show you
00:43:21what I'm capable of.
00:43:27I'll show you
00:43:29what I'm capable of.
00:43:49I'll show you
00:43:51what I'm capable of.
00:44:19I'll show you
00:44:21what I'm capable of.
00:44:43I'll show you
00:44:45what I'm capable of.
00:44:49I'll show you
00:44:51what I'm capable of.
00:45:01Chief.
00:45:05Can you
00:45:09let me go?
00:45:19No.
00:45:23I can't
00:45:29bother you anymore.
00:45:33I put a blanket on you
00:45:35every night
00:45:37and watch out for you.
00:45:41But you ignore me.
00:45:45When you shout at me,
00:45:49The other servants start to make a fuss.
00:45:56When I go into the room and take a nap,
00:46:01I see you with that creepy look in your eyes
00:46:06and say that you are going to be exiled.
00:46:14Even if it's time to take a break,
00:46:17I can't sleep until morning
00:46:20because I think that you are going to be exiled.
00:46:24At noon, I was asked to go to the factory.
00:46:30At dusk, the night comes again.
00:46:36When I stand in front of that stick,
00:46:38I want to kill him.
00:46:48Then I will be at ease.
00:46:53I can sleep soundly.
00:46:58That's what I think.
00:47:02I can't control myself.
00:47:08I can't control myself.
00:47:25Sit down.
00:47:27Sit down.
00:47:34He drove the guards away
00:47:38in Akita and Aomori.
00:47:41The guards were fed up with him and gave up the strict watch.
00:47:45He followed the guard and exiled him.
00:47:49This is a battle with him.
00:47:51This is a battle with him.
00:47:55You are losing because of your feelings.
00:47:58You are right.
00:48:03What will you do if the right person loses?
00:48:09Don't lose, Numoto.
00:48:12It's going to be winter. He will break.
00:48:16Hang in there, Numoto.
00:48:19What if it's winter?
00:48:22Sakuma is weak in winter.
00:48:25He will be weak in winter.
00:48:48Aomori
00:48:51When Sakuma was in jail,
00:48:54he was thoroughly examined
00:48:57to see if there was anything wrong
00:49:00with his prison.
00:49:02Everything is normal.
00:49:10Everything is normal.
00:49:13The prison is completely empty.
00:49:15Captain, the wall, the floor, I'll make them all with Nara's thick wood.
00:49:21I won't be defeated.
00:49:24So, Chief, I don't think we need this footbridge anymore.
00:49:31Isn't this the way Agassi does it?
00:49:36But we've run out of time to suppress it.
00:49:39It's fine as it is. I've started, so I'll do it thoroughly.
00:49:46Winter has come to Abashiri.
00:49:51The outside temperature is minus 30 degrees.
00:49:54Everything is frozen. It's a terrible winter.
00:50:00Let's get started!
00:50:03The watchmen are not allowed to do heavy work in the woodshed.
00:50:07If there is a riot of prisoners, they have to respond easily.
00:50:12They watch day and night in their uniforms.
00:50:16Shut up!
00:50:18In Abashiri, everyone fought against the cold.
00:50:32All right! Shut up!
00:50:43Shut up!
00:50:49The temperature of the cellar was always below freezing.
00:50:53The walls and ceilings were frozen.
00:50:56The blankets were covered in ice.
00:50:59They slept on the floor.
00:51:03In this cold, Sakuma was examined every day.
00:51:09Come in!
00:51:11Sakuma, come in!
00:51:16Sakuma!
00:51:24You must be cold.
00:51:26This year's cold is special.
00:51:30It's as cold as soy sauce.
00:51:34Do the other wardens tolerate this cold?
00:51:43A Yugoslavian spy died.
00:51:47The old man who was a prisoner last year died here, right?
00:51:51Yes, that's right.
00:51:53That's right.
00:52:03Abashiri
00:52:33Abashiri
00:53:03Abashiri
00:53:33Sakuma
00:53:39Sakuma
00:53:42I brought you some soy sauce.
00:53:45If you soak your hands in it, you'll feel better.
00:53:50And your body will be warmer.
00:53:54Do you want to soak your hands in it?
00:53:59All right.
00:54:03Here.
00:54:06Come on.
00:54:15I put it under your hand.
00:54:18Promise me.
00:54:20Promise me you won't run away.
00:54:23Be strong.
00:54:25Think seriously.
00:54:28You'll live a long life.
00:54:31Don't turn your back on me.
00:54:34If you don't, you'll die.
00:54:37Don't turn your back on me.
00:54:40Don't turn your back on me.
00:54:43Don't turn your back on me.
00:54:46Don't turn your back on me.
00:55:12Sakuma
00:55:17Let's go to the bathroom.
00:55:25Be more honest.
00:55:28If you go out in this cold, you won't be a criminal.
00:55:33Promise me.
00:55:37Don't run away.
00:55:40I'll bring you soy sauce every day from now on.
00:55:46Don't run away.
00:56:16Sakuma
00:56:25Are you going to do the foot massage?
00:56:30Yes.
00:56:32I'll do it every day.
00:56:35Every day?
00:56:38Are you sure?
00:56:42As I said, I'll do it every day from June.
00:56:47I'll do it every day until March.
00:56:55I'm against it.
00:56:58Sakuma's behavior is against the law.
00:57:02He's lying on the bed.
00:57:04He's lying on the floor.
00:57:06There's a reason for the punishment.
00:57:11The punishment is too long.
00:57:14The punishment should be extended until he changes his behavior.
00:57:20Then Sakuma and I won't be able to fill the hole.
00:57:25I think this is the best opportunity to comfort Sakuma.
00:57:32I don't know if that's the way to do it in Tokyo,
00:57:37but there's a way to do it in Abashiri.
00:57:41Sakuma may be cold, but we're cold, too.
00:57:44In the middle of the night, the guards are sleeping on the futon.
00:57:48The guards keep walking through the cold hallway all night.
00:57:54There are not enough guards and supplies.
00:57:58They're all tired.
00:58:01The guards are given six cups of rice,
00:58:06but we're given two and three cups of rice.
00:58:12The guards are jokingly saying,
00:58:16they want to eat the guards' food.
00:58:25I'll set Sakuma free.
00:58:27I'll make him feel better.
00:58:30I'll make him taste the cold.
00:58:35A lot of people are fighting on the battlefield.
00:58:39Sakuma should know how hard it is to live.
00:58:45I told you to do it thoroughly.
00:58:48Isn't that too much?
00:58:51Mr. Murata, do you have any objections?
00:58:56I'm saying it's time to do it thoroughly.
00:59:01Sakuma is wearing a white cape.
00:59:05That's how I see it.
00:59:09If you're going to kill Sakuma,
00:59:12you can do it like this.
00:59:14But we're law-abiding people.
00:59:18Whether it's a war or heaven or hell,
00:59:23we're going to carry out justice.
00:59:27We're going to send the prisoners back to society.
00:59:30That's our job.
00:59:33Winter is over.
00:59:37Spring will come.
00:59:39I'll make sure Sakuma doesn't feel like running away.
00:59:43I'll make him feel better.
00:59:47Now is the time.
00:59:51That's how I see it.
01:00:12It was the 19th year of the Showa era.
01:00:16Japan was defeated one after another in the war against the U.S.
01:00:20There were 130,000 casualties in the battle in the southeast.
01:00:25It was a desperate situation.
01:00:35Young prisoners were sent to the battlefield one after another.
01:00:50It was a desperate situation.
01:00:55It was a desperate situation.
01:01:00It was a desperate situation.
01:01:05It was a desperate situation.
01:01:10It was a desperate situation.
01:01:15It was a desperate situation.
01:01:20It was a desperate situation.
01:01:25Hey, Sakuma, get up.
01:01:30Hey, Sakuma, get up.
01:01:35Hey, Sakuma, get up.
01:01:40Hey, Sakuma, get up.
01:01:51Sakuma, answer me if you can hear me.
01:02:01I told you not to wear a futon!
01:02:04Show me your face!
01:02:06Sakuma, can you hear me?
01:02:09Be quiet!
01:02:24Sakuma!
01:02:30Answer me if you can hear me!
01:02:35Hey, say something!
01:02:38I'm so sorry!
01:02:51Hey!
01:03:05Hey!
01:03:18Something's wrong.
01:03:28I...
01:03:32I've been waiting for you for a long time.
01:03:37I have a wife and a daughter.
01:03:42I've been waiting for you for a long time.
01:03:47I've been waiting for you for a long time.
01:03:52What's wrong?
01:04:02I should have done more!
01:04:07I can't do it anymore!
01:04:12I'm quitting!
01:04:18I'm begging you.
01:04:23It's my last request.
01:04:28Please listen to me.
01:04:33Don't sleep with a futon on.
01:04:38It's my job to tell you that.
01:04:44It's my job to tell you that.
01:04:50Show me your face!
01:05:01No.
01:05:06It's all your fault!
01:05:11It's all your fault!
01:05:16Even if I die on the battlefield, you'll live on!
01:05:21Even if I die on the battlefield, you'll live on!
01:05:26I won't forgive you!
01:05:31I won't forgive you!
01:05:36I won't forgive you!
01:05:41I won't forgive you!
01:06:01I won't forgive you!
01:06:31I won't forgive you!
01:06:36I won't forgive you!
01:06:41I won't forgive you!
01:06:46I won't forgive you!
01:06:51I won't forgive you!
01:06:57I'll show you a strange trick.
01:07:02It's strange, isn't it?
01:07:07I'll make the battlefield more stable.
01:07:12Let's go! Let's go!
01:07:17Let's go! Let's go!
01:07:22In the spring of April,
01:07:27an evacuation training was held inside the prison to prepare for the enemy's air raids.
01:07:52When Sakuma showed a strange behavior,
01:07:57the president ordered to kill him.
01:08:02I immediately told everyone.
01:08:07I'll kill him with this.
01:08:12Sakuma went outside the prison for the first time at this time.
01:08:17Sakuma went outside the prison for the first time at this time.
01:08:47Sakuma!
01:08:52How is the air outside for the first time in a year?
01:08:57How is the air outside for the first time in a year?
01:09:01It's like a mountain.
01:09:04Like a mountain?
01:09:07You know it well.
01:09:09I grew up in the countryside, so I know a lot about birds.
01:09:12I grew up in the countryside, so I know a lot about birds.
01:09:16When I went to the bathhouse, I saw a bluebird outside the window.
01:09:21I saw a bluebird outside the window.
01:09:25Before that, I saw a hawk.
01:09:30Before that, I saw a hawk.
01:09:36When I was a kid, I thought I could fly like a bird.
01:09:39When I was a kid, I thought I could fly like a bird.
01:09:43Did you have a black cat?
01:09:46If you like it so much, why don't you buy a bird?
01:09:53If you like it so much, why don't you buy a bird?
01:09:58A bird?
01:10:03I'd like to buy it, but I feel sorry for it.
01:10:10I'd like to buy it, but I feel sorry for it.
01:10:15I'd like to buy it, but I feel sorry for it.
01:10:21I'm sorry.
01:10:23I have a call from the father of Nobunaga Kinosuke.
01:10:27What should we do?
01:10:29From Nobunaga's father?
01:10:31He said he wanted to report that Nobunaga had passed away.
01:10:37Since you saw this
01:11:07I'm sorry.
01:11:09I'm sorry.
01:11:11I'm sorry.
01:11:21Captain, all four of the men have returned to their positions.
01:11:24Air raid training has ended.
01:11:26Good work.
01:11:28Sakuma, you were surprisingly obedient.
01:11:37If you had obeyed my orders, I would have shot you.
01:11:44Let's change the gun to a stronger one.
01:11:51I'll return the gun.
01:11:55Just in case.
01:11:58I said I'd buy a bird.
01:12:03But I refused.
01:12:06All right.
01:12:32Did you kill Tsugime again?
01:12:36Give me a break.
01:12:39Every time I take a bath, I take two hours to kill him.
01:12:43I want you to do the same for me.
01:13:13June of that year has passed.
01:13:39Summer has come.
01:13:50Sakuma has begun to behave strangely.
01:13:57Captain, look at this.
01:14:10I hid it in my underwear.
01:14:12It's a nail.
01:14:14I think I pulled it out of here.
01:14:17I tried to cut it off with a nail.
01:14:20A nail?
01:14:22This is a floor board.
01:14:28The bottom of the board is covered with concrete.
01:14:32What can you do with this?
01:14:40Captain.
01:14:42What do you think?
01:14:51I think it's strange.
01:14:56I think he was going to break the floor with this nail.
01:15:02That's right, Sakuma.
01:15:31I'm going to kill you.
01:16:00I'm going to kill you.
01:16:25I'm going to kill you.
01:16:54I'm going to kill you.
01:17:23I'm going to kill you.
01:17:53I'm going to kill you.
01:18:13I'm going to kill you.
01:18:41I'm going to kill you.
01:18:48This is the smell of miso.
01:18:51I put miso soup on it and made it smell bad.
01:18:55I found it when I was digging the floor.
01:18:58I made it look around.
01:19:01From a place like this.
01:19:06It's a god's work.
01:19:10You're a fool.
01:19:12I think I'm free now.
01:19:15This is a bigger birdcage.
01:19:19I won't let you get away with this.
01:19:25If Japan becomes a mess, everyone will forget about him.
01:19:32I just need Japan to bend.
01:19:35From here on out.
01:19:43I'll send it to you with the sponsor you're looking at.
01:20:14I'll send it to you with the sponsor you're looking at.
01:20:26I can drink it because it's fresh.
01:20:35Please go up and see if Sakuma is there.
01:20:40The police came yesterday and checked the back of the tatami.
01:20:47When Sakuma comes, tell him that Murata said this.
01:20:53You're a fool.
01:20:56You think you're free because you escaped from a small cage.
01:21:00This is a bigger cage.
01:21:03You have no freedom.
01:21:06As long as you're in this country.
01:21:17Will Japan be turned into war?
01:21:22I heard it from my neighbors.
01:21:25If Japan is turned into war,
01:21:28all the great people will be taken to America,
01:21:32and Japan will be ruined.
01:21:36Is that so?
01:21:39If Japan is ruined,
01:21:43everyone will forget about that person.
01:21:48If that's the case,
01:21:51that person will be free, right?
01:22:02If Japan is turned into war,
01:22:06everyone will be taken to America,
01:22:10and Japan will be ruined.
01:22:17A year later, in August of the 20th year of the Shogunate,
01:22:22an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
01:22:26and Japan was defeated in the war.
01:22:48The structure of this jail...
01:22:51There is no open space, the windows are small, and it is dark.
01:22:56This prison has no sense of freedom.
01:23:02The windows are small, and the lights are dark.
01:23:05This is a building that clearly shows Japan's bad tradition of ignoring basic human rights.
01:23:10Basic human rights?
01:23:12The treatment of prisoners is also based on militarism.
01:23:21Chief, the president wants to see you.
01:23:30After the Sakuma incident,
01:23:33his father was going to take responsibility and resign from his post,
01:23:37but he was taken to a prison in the city,
01:23:40where many prisoners were killed in the war.
01:23:43He decided that this was his last job, and came to this Sapporo prison.
01:23:47Chief, the president wants to see you.
01:23:54There was a man who tried to steal a field in Sunowa-cho,
01:23:57and ran away after stabbing someone.
01:24:00When I caught him, he said his name was Sakuma Seitaro.
01:24:04He was said to have been eaten by a bear in the mountains,
01:24:08but he was alive.
01:24:12Was he caught in the Takigawa police station?
01:24:19Of course, the trial will be held in Sapporo.
01:24:22If that happens, Sakuma will be taken here as an unarrested prisoner.
01:24:27For you, he is a man named Kiyan.
01:24:57Sakuma Seitaro
01:25:19He ran away and hid in the mountains.
01:25:22In the mountains of Nakasaroma,
01:25:25there were a lot of ruins.
01:25:29He had a hard time finding food and fire.
01:25:35He went down to the field and hid in the field.
01:25:38He brought back the fire from the stove,
01:25:41blowing on it like a ball of cloth.
01:25:44He only ate wood.
01:25:47He ate 20 to 30 mountain rabbits,
01:25:49and he ate 20 to 30 bears.
01:25:54He imitated a bear eating a crab in Kumagasawa.
01:26:04However,
01:26:08when I read the newspaper this spring,
01:26:11it was said that Japan had lost the war.
01:26:15I was surprised.
01:26:20I thought I had no choice but to hide.
01:26:24When I walked to Asahikawa,
01:26:27a young Japanese girl was walking with an American soldier.
01:26:32The world has changed.
01:26:36Right?
01:26:40So?
01:26:43So...
01:26:44So...
01:26:48Hey,
01:26:50you think I killed someone again, don't you?
01:26:53That's not true.
01:26:55Anyway,
01:26:57I thought I'd walk to Minami-no-Hosawa.
01:27:00I walked for about 50 days.
01:27:03I was so hungry and in pain.
01:27:06When I picked up a tomato from the field,
01:27:09a big man came after me and hit me.
01:27:14I thought I'd kill him with the knife I had,
01:27:18but he stabbed me.
01:27:20When I realized it,
01:27:22he stabbed me.
01:27:25I didn't think I would die.
01:27:28I didn't mean to kill him.
01:27:31I think you'll understand if you go to court.
01:27:35That's self-defense.
01:27:40The lawyer
01:27:41said the same thing.
01:27:47Is that all you want to say?
01:27:51Sakuma,
01:27:54I won't let you get away this time.
01:27:59With this second-generation special defense,
01:28:02the window is narrow and Sakuma's head can't go through.
01:28:06If his head goes through,
01:28:08remove the shoulder joint and go through anywhere.
01:28:17Yes.
01:28:25I understand.
01:28:26Mr. Sakuma.
01:28:34I called for you.
01:28:36It's an order from the Foxhorde, a member of the Korean military.
01:28:41Mr. Sakuma,
01:28:43you'd better not answer even if I ask you something.
01:28:47There's a rumor that we're going to go to court.
01:28:57Get out!
01:28:59Get out now!
01:29:01Move!
01:29:03Get out!
01:29:05What about him?
01:29:07Looks like the warden's got knocked around a little bit.
01:29:10Keep moving!
01:29:12Don't move.
01:29:17Remove the handcuffs.
01:29:19You'd better not use the handcuffs.
01:29:21You'd better not use the handcuffs.
01:29:24You better use the handcuffs.
01:29:26I am sending him off as a gift from your sponsor.
01:29:30Please continue to watch the program.
01:29:37You can't fool me.
01:29:51Take off your clothes.
01:30:09You know these people.
01:30:12You're close.
01:30:15Look at their legs.
01:30:18This is clear evidence.
01:30:21You don't give them food, you don't let them exercise.
01:30:25You abuse them as if they were livestock.
01:30:27This is the evidence.
01:30:34I knew you Japs were like brutal savages.
01:30:37But I didn't expect this.
01:30:40Your subordinates who just left
01:30:42were taught them a good lesson.
01:30:44Because we considered them particularly heinous.
01:30:48You have anything to say about this?
01:30:51Do you have anything to say?
01:30:54I have nothing to say to my subordinates.
01:30:59They followed the rules set by the government
01:31:01and forced the prisoners to eat and exercise.
01:31:06But Japan lacks food.
01:31:09The whole of Japan is malnourished.
01:31:13I wish my subordinates would take off their clothes.
01:31:17They're all thin.
01:31:19The prisoners are all the same.
01:31:28It's not just about food.
01:31:31Some of your subordinates
01:31:33live in solitary confinement with handcuffs on.
01:31:37Is that still the case?
01:31:40Yes.
01:31:44Take off their cuffs.
01:31:47I can't.
01:31:58Take off the cuffs.
01:32:00He's by themselves.
01:32:16They follow the rules set by the government.
01:32:20Both of them take their guns.
01:32:22My husband does the same thing.
01:32:28The only difference is that you won the war.
01:32:33We lost.
01:32:37That's all.
01:32:47March, 1952.
01:32:51The Sapporo District Court
01:32:53has sentenced Sakuma to death.
01:33:05You have something to say to me.
01:33:09It's nothing special.
01:33:12I don't know what to say.
01:33:42If you put your hand in here,
01:33:44you'll remember Abashiri.
01:33:47At that time,
01:33:50I had to use the back of my hand.
01:33:54I had to use my feet.
01:33:57I'm sorry about that.
01:34:00You're sorry?
01:34:03It's not that easy.
01:34:06I'm sorry.
01:34:09I'm sorry.
01:34:12Why did you run away?
01:34:17I haven't been able to use my feet since I came here.
01:34:20I can't use my back of my hand.
01:34:22Is it because of your father?
01:34:25Who cares about you?
01:34:28It's because the Americans are noisy.
01:34:34I see.
01:34:38I wanted to make sure.
01:34:43What did you do?
01:34:48I made sure I wouldn't run away.
01:34:53This special stick...
01:34:56I made it stronger than Abashiri.
01:35:01You can't do it.
01:35:03Give it up.
01:35:06I don't know.
01:35:08I'm proud of what I've made.
01:35:12You're talking big.
01:35:16It was written in the newspaper.
01:35:18I'm the king of exile.
01:35:20I'm the king.
01:35:23Are you trying to show off?
01:35:27No.
01:35:30I'm not ready for the death sentence.
01:35:34You ran away, didn't you?
01:35:39Yes.
01:35:42The lawyer said...
01:35:46I wouldn't be executed if I were an exile.
01:35:52That's not good.
01:35:55No one will believe you.
01:36:01I believe you.
01:36:05Last year...
01:36:07I met your wife.
01:36:10And your daughter.
01:36:13She's a strong-willed woman.
01:36:16She understood everything I said.
01:36:20It was my fault.
01:36:25That's when I realized...
01:36:28You have a home to return to.
01:36:33I don't.
01:36:38I thought...
01:36:41You were a happy bird.
01:36:48Even if you leave the country...
01:36:52It's only a night or two.
01:36:55You should go home.
01:37:00You have a home to return to.
01:37:07You won't be executed.
01:37:10If you work hard...
01:37:13You'll get out.
01:37:19By the way...
01:37:21I just realized something.
01:37:24I looked up your birth certificate.
01:37:28You were born the same year as my son.
01:37:37But my son died.
01:37:42You're the same age as him.
01:37:51Who told you to take Seiza?
01:37:56I don't believe you.
01:38:00When it's time for Seiza...
01:38:03Make sure he's there.
01:38:07I will.
01:38:38I'm sorry.
01:38:49That's all.
01:38:58Sakuma.
01:39:01Show me your face.
01:39:07Let's go.
01:39:37Let's go.
01:40:07Let's go.
01:40:38Sakuma.
01:40:46Boss.
01:40:47He ran away.
01:40:49Sakuma ran away.
01:40:53He ran away.
01:40:57I didn't realize it until this morning.
01:41:00I dug a hole in the floor.
01:41:03I see. I'll be right there.
01:41:05I'm sorry.
01:41:08You fool.
01:41:14Sakuma escaped in the winter for the first time.
01:41:19He was said to have been afraid of death.
01:41:36I'm sorry.
01:41:39I'm sorry.
01:41:42I'm sorry.
01:41:45I'm sorry.
01:42:05I'm sorry.
01:42:35I'm sorry.
01:43:05I'm sorry.
01:43:07I'm sorry.
01:43:09I'm sorry.
01:43:11I'm sorry.
01:43:13I'm sorry.
01:43:15I'm sorry.
01:43:17I'm sorry.
01:43:19I'm sorry.
01:43:21I'm sorry.
01:43:23Sakuma was arrested again in January of the following year.
01:43:28He was on his way to Kotoni, Hokkaido.
01:43:32In May of the following year,
01:43:34the Supreme Court of Sapporo
01:43:36declared Sakuma guilty of the murder of a fruit
01:43:39and sentenced him to 20 years in prison.
01:43:43Sakuma was acquitted of his crime.
01:43:47After Sakuma's death,
01:43:49the world celebrated him as a hero
01:43:52as he escaped from prison four times.
01:44:02The End
01:44:14Did you make this for me?
01:44:17Yes.
01:44:19You didn't have to eat here.
01:44:22You could have eaten at the grave.
01:44:25I thought you'd eat too.
01:44:28I already ate lunch.
01:44:31I'm sorry.
01:44:37It's already this late?
01:44:46Do you remember what you said on the phone?
01:44:49You're quitting your job.
01:44:52I'm retired.
01:44:55And you escaped from prison twice.
01:45:01Do you know that?
01:45:05My aunt told me
01:45:07that you didn't let 1000 students escape during the Great East Japan Earthquake.
01:45:11You were a great opponent
01:45:13for letting only one student escape twice.
01:45:18What kind of person are you?
01:45:22I'm an honest man.
01:45:25I'm the same age as Hiroshi.
01:45:28When I was a kid,
01:45:30I thought I could fly without wings.
01:45:38Hiroshi used to say that a lot.
01:45:44Well,
01:45:48before I quit,
01:45:51I have one job left.
01:45:54I'm going back to Sapporo tomorrow.
01:46:01If you quit,
01:46:03you won't be able to live in Kansai anymore.
01:46:08Why don't you move here?
01:46:11There seems to be
01:46:13a lot of vacant rooms around here.
01:46:16If you do that,
01:46:19you'll be lonely by yourself.
01:46:24Your aunt will be happy.
01:46:26And I...
01:46:33I wanted you to come back.
01:46:47See you.
01:47:02Thank you for your hard work
01:47:04for a long time.
01:47:16Thank you.
01:47:34Are you ready?
01:47:36From now on, it's Sakuma and Nagatabi.
01:47:39If you run away to Sakuma,
01:47:41I'll kill you.
01:47:47Let's go.
01:47:58Sakuma is back.
01:48:01We need a cell that he can't escape from.
01:48:06If he escapes one more time,
01:48:08I'm responsible.
01:48:10If he escapes again,
01:48:12we'll lose our position.
01:48:16Mr. Murata,
01:48:18do you have any good ideas?
01:48:22The only thing I can think of now
01:48:24is to move him somewhere else.
01:48:28Somewhere else?
01:48:30To Asakusa.
01:48:41Sakuma, listen.
01:48:43Let's go on a trip.
01:48:47A trip?
01:49:11Mr. Kobayashi,
01:49:14where are you taking me?
01:49:18Tokyo.
01:49:20Fuchu Prison.
01:49:41Fuchu Prison
01:50:07Mr. Kobayashi,
01:50:10what day is it today?
01:50:14It's July 31st.
01:50:22Today
01:50:24is my birthday.
01:50:28I see.
01:50:34Earlier,
01:50:36I got it at Aomori Station.
01:50:40It's a rare item now.
01:50:47It's my birthday.
01:50:50I washed it, so eat it.
01:51:01What's wrong?
01:51:11I'm a little tired.
01:51:20When I was caught in Kotonicho,
01:51:24I tried to run away, but I was caught.
01:51:33I've been running away for a long time.
01:51:37I thought it was over.
01:51:40But it wasn't.
01:51:47At first,
01:51:49I didn't want to be hit.
01:51:51It was cold.
01:51:54I wanted to be free.
01:51:57So I ran away.
01:52:00I tried again and again.
01:52:06But this time,
01:52:09I was so afraid of death.
01:52:16I ran away.
01:52:18I was alone in the mountains.
01:52:20I couldn't go home.
01:52:24Why did I do this?
01:52:34So
01:52:36I decided
01:52:40to go to a town
01:52:42where people live.
01:52:50The police asked me
01:52:52who I was.
01:52:54To be honest,
01:52:56I said I was a Saguma student.
01:52:58I was relieved.
01:53:06But
01:53:14I was happy.
01:53:20I got an apple.
01:53:23I traveled to a warm place.
01:53:31I met my father.
01:53:36He was always there.
01:54:06Can I look outside?
01:54:10I think
01:54:12it's close to my house.
01:54:15Let's go.
01:54:36Father.
01:54:48Father.
01:54:55Do you hear me?
01:54:59Do you hear me?
01:55:02Do you hear me?
01:55:06Do you hear me?
01:55:12I'll come back again.
01:55:26Sakuma was transferred to the prison.
01:55:28He spent 36 years in prison
01:55:30until he was released.
01:55:33He never left the prison again.
01:55:37After he was released,
01:55:39he visited his father
01:55:41and talked to him.
01:55:43But he disappeared
01:55:45and never appeared
01:55:47in front of us again.
01:56:06The End
