Hello, Takashi.
:13:03
I'm Ernest.
:13:07
I've actually been wonderin'...
:13:10
where you learned such
excellent English.
:13:15
I was educated at Cambridge.
:13:18
To be a good translator,
:13:21
I thought one must
understand the culture.
:13:26
So what do you think
of the British?
:13:28
I think there is a lot
to learn from them.
:13:37
Can I ask you,
honorable Takashi,
:13:41
what are you doing here
in this camp?
:13:46
Uh, I was classified
low physical fitness.
:13:53
Prisoner of war camp is not honorable place
forJapanese soldier.
:13:58
It is more like punishment.
:14:03
Shame for his entire family.
:14:06
Well, what about...
:14:09
Sergeant Ito?
:14:12
Surely he's
the consummate soldier.
:14:16
He accepted the blame for the bad decision
that his superior made.
:14:21
It resulted in the deaths
of most of his squad.
:14:26
- Right. So that's why he's so bitter.
- No.
:14:29
In Bushido, it is an honor
to be punished in place of your superior.
:14:36
According to our
Imperial Rescript,
:14:39
in the emperor's army,
:14:42
a single life
weighs less than a feather.

No matter how good things got,
:14:56
we were still slaves
building a railway,
:14:58
being starved to death.
