The Great Escape from Women's Prison

What a godforsaken region! Like a banishment!

It's not that bad. There are enough women and wine in the camp.

Seems that we are there. They'll probably show us the way. Some sort of a greetings committee.

Lieutenant Sayun, Battallion 12! - Major Kano. -

The new commander? - Yes. -

Calm down! - What do you want? -

Two more uniforms down! - Right. -

Come on, go inside! Spread out!

China, 1943. The japanese have occupied Cathay and whole South-East-Asia.

The chinese army doesn't exist any more.

But the resistance of the partisans is still unbroken.

The guerillas hide in the mountains of the northern provinces, from where they attack the japanese supplies.

They attack camps, destroy bridges and railroads...

...and free Chinese prisoners from the occupying power.

When was the last time you were at home, lieutenant?

More than 3 years! - It will be a surprise to your mother!

I hope so. She doesn't know that I am japanese lieutenant now.

Some mothers don't like that. - She will get used to that.

The partisans have already killed more than one, who became a japanese soldier. So, be careful!

Wang! This asshole Fung Kau is coming!

He has the courage to come back?

Wearing a japanese uniform! Let me see.

I don't know, is it really him?

I recognized him!

I'll skin him when I get a hold of him!

Perhaps he wants to help us?

Never! - Wait! Let's see what he wants. -

He will only betray us to the Japanese!

You don't know that! He was our friend! - Now he is our enemy! -

- And if he isn't? - - Just look at him! -

Stop that! We are going to ask him!

Now it's too late to kill him!

I hope your mother will be fine. - I hope so too.

I'll be back this evening.

Hello!

Mother!

Don't you want to say "Hello" to me?

Lieutenant Fung Kau, at your command!

May I ask you: How are you?

Please wait, mother!

What do you want from her?

What I want? She is my mother.

I know that. But you are wearing a japanese uniform.

Yes, I am Japanese now!

And you are not ashamed of that?

In our family there is no place for a Japanese and there will never be!

We wanted...

Mother, do you know who is here?

Will you stay here? - Just for some hours.

You must be tired and hungry. - No, we only wanted to see you.

Please, sit down. - Thanks.

Where are they? Finally you are back!

We can't stay for long. It's too dangerous.

We have seen Fung Kau wearing a japanese uniform. I am sure he will come here!

We wanted to warn you. We don't know if he is a traitor or wants to help us.

He was here when they brought back my husband.

What are you going to do with him?

What am I supposed to do without him?

They have sentenced me to death.

Shut up! Go to the tree!

Watch, and see what happens to rebels!

Please, let him stay alive! He hasn't done anything to you!

Fasten him up!

He is not a rebel!

Take your guns!

Fire!

Fung Kau told me about it when we both were students at the university.

He was part of it. He is my nephew and has grown up together with my daughters.

He is not a traitor. I am sure, he will help us.

Mother, I will get some clothes.

He is wearing a japanese uniform!

Wang, you have been friends! - I don't know if we still are.

We will ask him and are going to kill him if he really is Japanese!

Why do you have to leave? How will this end?

One day the Japanese will be dispelled. - But when?

I have somethimg for you,' you will need it. - Thanks.

Be careful! Let us know how you are, from time to time.

We are worried about you!

Wang, I don't want to be alone any longer.

Promise, that you will take me with you, as soon as possible. I could be of use to you!

That's too dangerous, Yung.

I could take care of you, out there!

Wang, I love you.

Please, Wang! Take me with you!

It's time to go now. Maybe the Japanese already know that we are here.

When will you come back?

I don't know. Don't worry about me, Yung!

We will be fine!

Nice to see you again!

Fung Kau!

What does he want?

Don't you want to welcome an old friend?

All I can see is a Japanese watchdog.

You didn't learn anything. Be careful, the watchdog could bite you!

You never had the guts to bite!

I want him alive!

Jump over the wall! Get out of here!

Run! Hurry up!

What have you done? - Is he dead?

It wasn't your fault! Calm down, my child! Don't be afraid!

I killed him. Mother, I killed him!

Tell us, where your husband has gone to!

Where is his hiding-place?

I don't know!

She won't tell us!

Let me have a try!

Don't be so stubborn!

I don't know!

As you like! We have other ways to make you talk!

Do you want to tell me something?

Who told you to stop digging?

Do really want to die for Wang Yu?

You have killed a japanese soldier audaciously.

That means murder. And murder means gallows.

Too bad! You have married the wrong man!

Fill it up!

Tell us where your husband hides! - No! - Go on!

Where is he?!

There are still other ways and means! But I would like to save you from it!

One word and... - No!

I can't help you anymore, then. Take her away!

The defendant is found guilty of murder and sentenced to death by strangle.

The judgement is legally valid.

Due the war, all executions are transformed to life imprisonment.

Water! - Hey, what's up?

Kano, she is fainting! Get some water!

Yes, one moment!

Don't be so girlish!

Come on, darling! You'll get so much water that you drown!

It's not that bad in here. What have you done?

I have murdered...

Time to eat!

Always the same shit!

Give it to me!

Don't you want to eat? Only one meal per day!

Otherwise you will die of hunger!

It's less than enough, anyway...

If she doesn't want it we will eat it!

Hold it! It's not your turn!!

Well, but I already have it! - Stop that!

Why you don't want to eat? It is not that bad!

My mouth! They have... - Let me take a look at you.

They have pulled out her teeth!

These damned bastards!

Take this.

Tell me fatso, why did you get busted? You are so innocent looking?

Oh, I was always too hungry. For that reason...

...I was hired in the japanese canteen as a cookmaid.

But even there we didn't get enough to eat.

So one night, I went into the pantry to see what was left from dinner.

Hey, I don't believe it!

I only wanted...

Doesn't matter. Don't talk, spread your legs!

Let's see, what you else you have to offer.

Are you crazy? Take your hands off, fatso!

And all of a sudden, he drowned. I ran away, but...

Their informers are everywhere! No chance to get away!

I was taken in a brothel, when I wanted to steal something.

I was in a small circus. Together with my sister.

We have toured the villages and did any performance you can imagine.

Of course there are better ones, but we had fun.

One day, a japanese officer came to our show.

When we were finished with our show, he was already waiting for us in our dressing room.

You have no artistic licence! But I will be willing to talk if you do as I want!

Take your hands off!

Go to hell!

What do you want?

I want to help you. But you've to pay for it. - No!

My sister is still a child!

You can have anything you want, but leave my sister alone!

I didn't know that a japanese officer... - You don't know much.

But I'll teach you, once we have got acquainted!

But I don't want to be taught by you!

We are going to find out about that!

I love wildcats! How about it?

You're much prettier than your sister. Come on!

Go to hell!

Sister, I've stabbed him. He is dead.

This is my end.

Don't think about it anymore.

Yung, we want to get out of here!

I want to show you something.

Fatso, watch that nobody is coming!

Come down here.

Three month ago, we have started to dig this tunnel. It's nearly finished.

Only a few more days and we will be behind the wall.

We only have some spoons to dig.

Oh, what a surprise. Nice to see you!

Move it! -

Have a seat!

I only wanted to see my daughters.

Take her chains off! She is no prisoner. - Yes, sir!

I beg your pardon, but we have had some bad experiences with visitors.

Even with mothers who are looking for their daughters?

Even that! Unfortunately your daughters are married to rebels.

Yumo, I don't need you anymore.

Yun has killed a Japanese. And we've arrested you second daughter,...

...because they both must know the hiding-place of the rebels.

It was only a coincidence that both men were at our home. Nobody knows where they went!

I can't believe that! -
