Be quiet.

You are Mako Yoneda of Shikko House.

What!

"Calling all student workers. Leave your arms".

"Occupy power bases. "

Low-lifes like you can't occupy...

Dammit. You said lots of stupid things.

But I'm in charge of you.

It is easy to only talk about stupid things with you.

- Do we catch them? - No we don't need to.

We came here with you.

You take us to your hideout.

What floor? What room number?

- Don't hate me. - What room number?

It hurts!

Hey, you take us.

You hear me.

It's getting hard to infiltrate the anti-war movement.

I am now shaping our autumn demonstration plans

as the opportunistic idealist has gone.

Our power is corresponding to the realistic fluid situation.

Overeager. I'm not saying wait.

I think it is time to confirm

the strength of the decisive battle plan.

Someone's coming!

Open the door.

But, think about our ideology of the current view...

Go inside!

Dammit.

One bigwig in the mix here.

Show me your arrest warrant.

I don't need one.

We can use any reason afterwards.

In our country such meetings are controlled.

The "Omo" law.

I arrest you, Takeo Otsu, leader of the anti-war group.

Try it. I will shoot you in turn.

Okay shoot me!

In return for what?

You are not suited for such a job.

Come on!

I'll shoot you.

Stop.

Take it easy.

Everybody will be in trouble if your leader is arrested.

Dammit.

Hey...

If you do that you're looking at a 2 or 3 year prison sentence.

Shut up! I'm serious!

Look sharp. Escape.

I will contact you.

- What's wrong? - The cops came!

Otsu!

- Where's everyone? - Dispersed.

We have to go into hiding again.

- I will. - Is there somewhere safe?

My apartment is nearby.

Yeah. Okay let's go there.

Let's go!

The police are following.

Who are you?

I am Suzuki.

Who are you?

I am...

I am a fugitive.

Don't you need it?

It was dropped.

That's all. Let's go.

Talk.

I am a conqueror.

Don't play dumb.

Is he a spy?

No. I am a fugitive.

- I don't know anything. - Talk!

If you don't I will kill you!

Okay. I will change.

You said you are Suzuki. Talk honestly.

I am this.

Since childhood I liked to steal.

I thought I'd be a professional.

But, I was afraid of...

You were a sneak thief.

Suzuki, we don't believe your lies.

We have to be careful as the police are pursuing us.

I believe you at the moment.

Sorry.

We are doubtful of everything as group fighting is so strong.

We are, so understand us.

It's alright. Clear up any doubts.

So, excuse me.

What? Do you want to go home.

It's too dangerous to go out now.

You'll have to wait until the morning

Yes.

Slip in. Outstanding.

We are all consuming and stronger fighters

if we were to rise up as a group.

Everybody knows that we cannot display

our real ability in a decisive battle

Where do we slip in?

Don't be stupid. Think about it.

Two days before the anti-war demonstration,

with new weapons and new group members,

we will be a proletariat army

as has never seen before in history.

What about keeping in contact?

I'll contact you periodically

and you let me know if you decide on a hideout.

New group members will solidify our footing

and help us increase in strength.

But, just a feeling of togetherness is too weak.

Anyway, the course of action has been decided.

The course of action has been decided.

Including current matters

you are recognizing that the situation is getting worse...

Dammit!

I'm kept waiting.

Ouch! Stop!

It's regiment. We have to recognize

a general idea of our regiment.

Osu.

We fall apart again.

This is the last regiment with Midori.

Please gentle.

Harder.

The rose colored regiment is the blood regiment.

If we do our best.

I didn't say we have to do our best many times.

We can do our best someday by storing up our energy.

Wait.

I will win.

I'm sure if I am with you.

We'll win.

We'll win.

We'll win.

Do you have a cigarette?

I don't smoke.

You want a go.

Sex?

Idiot. Rose colored regiment.

I can't.

Maybe she is experienced.

So please let me sleep.

Shit. Failed climax.

We'll win.

We'll win.

We'll win.

We'll win.

We'll win.

We must win.

We'll win.

Hey... Hey!

What time is it?

3 o'clock, yet?

What shall we do from today?

It doesn't matter what we do.

Let him have sex.

Please stop. I'm so exhausted.

I'm more exhausted than you.

He's not here.

Hi.

Who are you?

Oh... it's you.

Here.

Let's eat... Newspaper.

Cigarettes?

Sorry.

Matches.

You are a strange man.

So, let's eat.

Guerilla attack on Shinjuku police station.

Firebombs Thrown.

Yesterday the police station near us was attacked.

Five firebombs.

One man dead!

- You're joking. - When?

Police detective shot to death.

"Before dawn this morning

he was shot to death in Sakai street. "

We passed that street.

- Osu, I wonder if he did it? - You're kidding.
