We'll regret leaving that ship.

No way, not after four years working on that rotten boat.

- Hey, who goes there? - Keep silent!

- What is it? - Let's go.

I can hear voices!

Chota, careful! Don't get swept away!

There are sharks around here!

- Iheiji! - What?

The lights over there, is that Hong Kong?

You bet it is. We're almost there.

And there we'll find Nishiyama!

And can we trust this Nishiyama?

Of course we can trust him. I'll become a merchant, like him.

Shit!

Who's there?

Iheiji Muraoka.

Come to me.

I love you.

Shiho! Shiho!

Are you alright, Iheiji?

The tide's very powerful.

Lady Shiho...

Ten years have already passed since I left Shimabara.

All I was thinking about was the Muraoka restoration and you, Lady Shiho.

Now, after having traveled the world, I've become a merchant in Hong Kong,

with two friends of mine.

They're not too bright,

but waiting for my triumphant return,

I'm determined to swim with the current.

34TH YEAR OF MEIJI ERA (1901) HONG KONG

It feels good being on terra firma after four years!

I'm so happy!

Come on, boys.

Hey, it's that way. Let's go!

I'm starving.

Me too.

Is it true that you swam all the way from Japan?

He's funny, this guy.

We swam, that's true.

- I beat you. - That's because you cheated!

Cheated? Me? Dare say that again.

It's here.

"Nishiyama Sea Foods."

Maybe it's not the same Nishiyama.

Damn, it stinks!

Are you Master Nishiyama?

Yeah.

And who are you?

I'm Iheiji.

I was a fish seller in Nagasaki.

- Iheiji? - That's right.

It was you who said to me

that Japan was opening up to commerce and young people should go abroad!

You've been an absolute inspiration to me!

You came all that way to tell me that?

We met in Hong Kong. You told me you'd take care of me!

Yes, that's very true,

but sometimes words just spill out!

Everyone knows you're a trafficker.

That's true. As long as I make money. A lot of money!

Where are the ciggies I sent you?

There are too many good-for-nothings here that we have to feed.

Iheiji look and see what became of all these ambitious guys!

Come on, play on, you parasites!

You have such glistening eyes.

How long will they remain glistening, eh?

Hey! You don't know where to go, do you?

Go to the Japanese Consulate!

They'll take care of you.

The Japanese Consulate? What has it got to do with us?

It's an office that takes care of Japanese citizens.

Where's the Japanese Consulate?

No idea.

It's by the sea.

Hey! What are you doing, you thief? Police! Call the police!

He stole and ate my chicken.

The money is all I ask for.

Is anybody in?

I wonder what I'm going to do about you now.

Work! Give us any kind of work.

We're not afraid of work.

I beg you, just get him off my back. This guy's busting my balls!

- Imbecile! - That's enough.

It would indeed be better to separate you.

Very well.

Yes?

Your Excellency, Shimada the barber is here.

Good. Oh, Shimada the barber... He needs someone to help him.

And suggest to Dr. Yamashita

that he hires one as a servant and the other one to pull his rickshaw.

In my youth, I thought I'd make a name for myself.

After leaving Nagasaki,

I wandered around and ended up settling here.

How long has it been?

Twenty years.

You can work hard in our shop and make an honest living.

If you have scissors, you can work anywhere.

- Good day! - Good day to you.

That's Tomonaga. He's from Nagasaki as well.

- Who's that? - Muraoka, from Shimabara.

Your wife asked me about getting funds to expand your shop.

I found an Indian fellow willing to lend the money.

I'll be your guarantor. Your place could use some work.

Tell your wife the good news.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

- Eh? Where's he from? - Japan.

Put this around his neck.

Hey! Don't be so rough!

Gently, gently.

- Already? - You'll be fine.

I'll take over later.

This is Iheiji Muraoka. He's going to be working here.

Hey! Shizu?

"Lady Shiho...

"It's been six months since I opened a barber's shop.

"I've hired the Shimada couple, who hail from Nagasaki, to help me,

"but they're dumber than asses!"

35TH YEAR OF MEIJI ERA (1902) NEW YEAR

Is Shimada in?

- I asked you if Shimada was in. - He went out.

- When will he be back? - He shouldn't be long now.

Where did you learn to speak Mandarin?

Over four years on a cargo ship.

So... you were a sailor.

- And are you from Nagasaki, sir? - From Sanada.

Come have lunch with me at the Consulate. I'll be expecting you.

Manchuria?

The province of Manchuria, you mean?

Exactly!

- Go to Manchuria as a spy? - Exactly.

We'll go there disguised as medicine sellers.

Why me?

After the Sino-Japanese War, Russia's gained a foothold in Manchuria.

Our Imperial Army must find out Russia's true intentions.

"Know one's enemy to defeat him." Understand?

Yes... but I've just got settled here in Hong Kong and...

Enough!

Stand up!

In the name of our beloved Emperor,

I appoint you as my aide-de-camp.

- Starting when? - Right now!

But that's impossible. I want to be a storekeeper.

What? Are you forgetting that you are a child of the Emperor?

- A child? - Yes, the Emperor's son!

- I'm just my late father's son. - You idiot!

The Emperor is father and god to us all! Remember that!

The Emperor will pay you. Open it.

But it's way too much...

Give thanks to our Emperor.

The single track railway will run through Manchuria.

We must prepare for a possible war

in which the Russians would use the railway

to send huge amounts of supplies and soldiers to the frontlines.

When will Russia begin construction?

Our mission is to gather intelligence on the railway,

as well as on Russian movements centered around Mukden.

Shiho, are you cold?

Are you cold? Ah, Shiho...

What are you doing?

- What's this? - A photograph, sir.

That's obvious. I'm asking about this here!

Eh?

- It's a hair, sir. - I can see that.

I'm asking whose hair it is.

The hair of the woman in the photo.

You useless idiot!

Oh, Shiho!

My photo of Shiho!

Shiho's hair!

Captain!

- Long time no see! - No! No!

WELCOME, SOLDIERS!

Come in, it's cheap!

FENGTIAN - SUMMER

Tell me, are there any Japanese brothels in Mukden?

- Tome? - Do you know that woman?

No, I was wrong.

It's sad having to prostitute oneself like that, isn't it?

- Muraoka... - Yes?

Japan is small, with no rich resources.

We have to go abroad in order to help it grow bigger.

Those women sacrificed themselves for the good of the nation.

That's devotion, so you shouldn't show pity.

- Understood? - Yes, sir.

Nothing is ever all black or all white.

- It's for the good of the nation. - Yes, sir.

How can this heal anything?

- It works! - Yes, sir.

Hey, handsome! Come on, handsome!

Evening, honey. Listen, are all the women around here Japanese?

Why do Japanese women sell themselves to the Russians, eh?

Hey, handsome!

I consider myself lucky when I'm chosen.

We prefer Japanese men, but they haven't got a cent!

Not in my case, I'm loaded!

Hey, you're from Shimabara, aren't you?

Am I right?

Come by our place and have some fun...

You remember Tome?

She worked here for a time.

Apparently, some Russian engineers bought her. I saw her with them.

- Tome? - From Manchuria to Siberia.

It seems Japanese girls are even setting their sights on Moscow.

They'd put Napoleon to shame.

- But... - What?

They've done away with shame and chastity.

What do they have to fear in this world?

Is that how those girls really feel?

You'll tell me stories of Shimabara, won't you?

I heard a man from Shimabara was here.

Could you speak to my parents on my behalf?

Has the money I sent reached them safely in Nagasaki?

- Japanese men are so handsome! - We don't see enough of them!

Hush! We're going to hear about Shimabara first.

I don't plan on returning to Japan.

- Yeah, but... - I didn't like Shimabara that much.

I didn't want to end up the wife of a poor man.

That's why I ran away.

Now my family has one less mouth to feed.

I still want to do right by my parents, though.

You shouldn't hang around here.

Russian men can get terribly possessive.

- You've changed, Tome. - I wouldn't know!

We'll use the women to get information about the Russians.

But isn't that dangerous?

Wretched as they are, they're still daughters of the Empire.

Proud women of Japan.

Danger comes with the territory.

- We know that, but do they? - Imbecile!

It's for the Empire! You must live for the Fatherland!

Haven't you realized that yet?

The land you serve is the Empire of Japan!

Not Nagasaki, not Shimabara!

When will construction begin?

When will it be completed? How strong will their forces be?

- Let them spy for us. - Yes, sir.

Tome? Tome!

Can we talk?

I have to go to Harbin for work.

I understand.

If it's for our country...

...I'll do it.

Tome...

I'll do it for the Empire.

Won't you sleep with me, Iheiji?

Please hold me!

I want you,

so that I will always remember Shimabara.

Take me!

Right here?

Right here.

Right here, right now.

"To Daisuke Inada, Shimabara, Nagasaki, town of our beloved Fatherland..."

Your parents won't worry anymore.

Despite it being so cold in Manchuria, you'll have a good life.

I'll deliver this money to your parents for sure.

If I fail...

...I vow to perform hara-kiri.

You make a single cut straight across your stomach.

Then you cut upwards.

That's how it's done. It'll hurt, though.

Why are you asking about this now?

Because I'm a man of my word.

Sorry, sorry.

- We're in trouble. It's Tome, she's... - Calm down.

Tome was taken away by the police, because she...

She went too far and got found out.

- What should we do? - Nothing.

Mukden won't hold out much longer. We're to leave immediately.

- I'll send the sleigh for you at five. - But what about Tome?

Tome was a great help. A true Japanese woman.

Muraoka, hurry and get ready.

Captain, it's Tome! It's Tome!

We may end up the same someday.

Tome died for our country.

She did well. Give her a proper burial.

I have orders elsewhere. This is where we part ways.

Take this.

Let go of personal greed and live for the Fatherland.

- There is no greater honor! - Yes, sir.

Also, about the money you've been taking behind my back...

Those are funds graciously provided by the Emperor.

- Don't forget that! - Yes, sir!

Farewell!

A Japanese man's duty is to live for his Fatherland!

36TH YEAR OF MEIJI ERA (1903) HONG KONG

Hello. I'm looking for Mr. Shimada the barber.

Tomonaga! Tomonaga!

He sold his shop.

- And where can I find him? - That I don't know.

And the barber Shimada, do you know him?

Yeah, he's down at the harbor, on the jetty.

On the jetty?

You see? They took my shop, so I had to start from scratch.

And then they robbed me, too.

I was left with nothing, and I couldn't pay my debts.

But wasn't Mr. Tomonaga standing as guarantor?

That's true, but he'd left for Singapore.

I didn't have his address, I couldn't get hold of him.

But didn't you talk to him when he came back?

I did, but when he came back, it was already too late.

I must have been bewitched by that Indian's black magic.

But, tell me, are you feeling alright?

- But I haven't finished. - It doesn't matter!

And you call yourself a Japanese?

Why should I share poor Shimada's misfortunes?

You ganged up on him with that Indian fellow!

How dare you say that? I was away on business.

You could've helped him when you came back!

Impossible. That Indian's a demon.

Shut up!

Mr. Shimada's been too naive.

You have a soldier's eye.

I live for the Fatherland!

That's too much for a merchant.

A merchant living for the Fatherland?

Tomonaga!

Shiho!

Iheiji?

You and my Shiho?

- My fiancée? - No, wait!

Iheiji! No, sorry, Mr. Muraoka...

- Shiho was... Shiho was... - So you're calling her Shiho now?

Mistress Shiho was a whore in Singapore.

If she's here now, it's thanks to me!

You, the Indian!

I'm buying this shop. How much do you want? How much?

It's not for sale.

But I'll sell it to you for $5,000.

- 5,000? - Cash!

Alright. I'll be back. I'll be back!

Emperor. Father of our people.

For my Manchurian whores, I'm borrowing this money.

It's for the Fatherland!

Count it up, Tomonaga.

I'm releasing Shiho from you.

Is that clear?

Your smell...

You smell so manly.

Iheiji, my love, take me into your arms, please!

Do you find me repulsive?

It's because of the emotion.

No one can sully my beloved Shiho, the most beautiful woman in the world!

We won't leave each other again, will we?

No. Never ever!

Together forever.

I'm so lucky!

What? You've got no hair down there?

Tomonaga liked me shaved.

That's absurd! I can't believe it!

Just wait...

Oh... the bastard!

I'm 680 leagues from home

- How are you feeling, my darling? - Perfect!

What is it?

I find you radiant, that's what the matter is.

That's easy, a happy woman quickly forgets her past.

Now, Muraoka...

They say there are a lot of Japanese girls being held prisoner.

- Held prisoner? By who? - By local pirates.

- Where? - At the far end of the harbor.

Poor girls.

Tricked by faithless men.

They'll sell them in Manchuria or in the South Seas.

Shiho! I'm going to gather the men.

Make me something to eat!

Are you Japanese?

- Yes. - Good. Get on my boat.

Hurry, get on my boat.

Move! Get onboard!

Come on! Hurry!

Move! Move! Run, run!

Are you Japanese?

Yes.

Beat it!

Help! Help!

Go join the others! Go to the boat!

Behave yourself!

Hurry!

- Japanese? - Yes.

- Come quickly! - What's going on?

Are there any more Japanese girls?

Iheiji Muraoka has come to avenge the Fatherland!

En garde!

Come on, then!

To the ship! Move! Move! Go!

Move! Faster!

- What are you up to? - Get him!

What are you waiting for? Move!

Any more? Come on!

Good work!

- Come on! - Come, this way!

What's going on?

You came back alive?

You didn't even have enough time to turn Shiho around, did you?

Look at this. The strength of a Japanese sword is tremendous!

It's so nice!

My first bath in ages! I'm so happy!

It's not easy sending all those girls back to Japan, Iheiji. I mean, Muraoka.

They all came here illegally, so, officially, they don't exist.

We can't get them out, if we go by the law.

- But... - You know we won't be able to.

But, still, we have to do something.

They were abused by bandits and vile men. You know that.

After all, we're dealing with thievery and greed.

- Meaning? - They were told they'd get rich overseas.

They went abroad driven by greed. It will never be acknowledged officially.

What's more, all of this embarrasses their families and our country.

What do you propose, then? What are we to do with them?

Well, you have no choice but to put them to work.

Seriously, I'm counting on you, "Boss".

Really! They have no respect for our house!

You always act rashly, never thinking about the consequences.

Like when you were a child.

I'm sick and tired of your damned Fatherland!

Shut up, woman! And don't use that tone with me!

I'm so hungry.

Even if you're hungry...

you can still do this!

Right, Kiyo?

Right!

Hey!

Found this guy in the harbor. He had no place to sleep, so here he is.

His name is Komashi Buta.

Oh, you're blind drunk.

What about the stuff you should've bought back?

I needed a helper. I wasn't paying much attention.

You mean there's nothing left? That was the last of our money.

Judging by your presence, you must be the famous Boss Iheiji.

You're spot on, I'm Muraoka.

- Do come in. - Moron...

Boss, I've heard you were forming your clan,

and I've rushed here to beg you to accept me.

I'm from Kobe and my name is Butamatsu.

You scum! Aren't you ashamed, tricking a girl to sell her?

And you made her pregnant, too, you dog!

Did I sell you in Kobe? Really?

Was it really me? I don't remember!

You swore you'd marry me!

I never did!

These things happen, you know that. One has to be careful.

If you got fooled, it means you're downright stupid!

Put him under!

And what would your life have been like, if you'd not been sold?

You'd have become a cheap whore, wallowing in your own slime!

Stop playing the innocent! You're pissing me off!

Shut up!

How dare you? These girls are soldiers of Japan!

$25,000 for house and board?

There's so many of them!

And here's another invoice. It's from the pirates.

$5,000?

We'll have to pay, or they'll come after us.

You know, we really are in a tight spot.

We have to find some money somewhere.

Even if we bargain with them...

Well, well, it seems your hair is growing back.

Sorry. Please excuse me.

- Sorry. - What do you want?

I'm very sorry for intruding,

but I can't get Shiho's gorgeous body out of my mind.

Lend her to me and I'll give you $5!

- What? - You old fool! Are you joking?

- $30 and you got yourself a deal. - $30?

- Shiho! - That's too expensive.

Then, it's for the whole night, starting now.

Tomonaga!

My love, this is how a woman becomes stronger.

- Forgive us. - Forgive us.

What now?

- Listen, Boss... - What?

We've had no action for days, I'm so horny.

- Well? - My heart is filled with desire.

Won't you sell us somewhere, Boss?

Sell you? That's absurd!

Sell us and you'll have enough to pay your debts and get into business.

We also have to make some money. We have debts to our parents.

Well, I'll be damned!

Come on! Sell us, please!

Shiho also knows and agrees.

Shiho too?

Hey, where's Shiho?

She left early for the Consulate.

Look! She's back!

Stop a little farther up. There!

Thank you.

Sachi, Kiyo...

I've sold you in Singapore.

That's great news!

I know the place very well, you'll love it!

Great!

The Japanese Consul has interceded on our behalf,

and I paid 10% for his kind favor.

How can you restore the Muraoka house and become a merchant without money?

Now... there's no reason to hesitate.

Selling two girls or twenty girls, it's the same thing.

You're pushing me to become a Zegen, are you?

Well, what's so bad about being a pimp?

You'll just be trading the girls.

Me, the great Muraoka, dealing in such a trade?

There are a lot of women who want to be sold.

I used to be one of them.

Darling...

Why don't you want to help them escape poverty?

It's all for the country's greater good!

I'm sure this time it's for the love of our country.

Love of our country?

You've let him shave you once again!

That's the last time!

Captain Uehara, I'm trying to serve the country the best way I can.

I managed to save those dumb Japanese girls from the hands of the pirates,

and now I find myself forced to get involved in trafficking women.

All things considered, it's better to sell them than send them home.

It's better for themselves, for their families, and for Japan.

They'll serve the country, revered master.

Why was death your final choice?

Listen to me.

You're all criminals in the eyes of our Fatherland.

Firstly, you came here illegally.

Then, you, the mothers of our future soldiers,

destroyed your machine for making babies for our country!

- Isn't that so? - It is.

Thirdly, you all bring shame upon yourselves and your families.

Fourthly, you've lost your virginity, the privilege of your future husbands.

Shame on you!

However, there is a way for you to have your sins pardoned.

Trust me and save your money,

send your money to your families, to your beloved relatives!

And pay more taxes to the Fatherland, who loves you and takes care of you!

To work!

440 yen! That's great business for you, ain't it?

I'm not complaining.

All these girls come from honorable families.

Daughters of important, rich men. They are virtuous.

Their ancestry is impeccable!

I present to you now Tsuyako from Goto.

Peach-like skin, a golden heart, she is exceptional! A wonder!

And still only 17 years old!

- 300 yen! - We have 300 there!

- 350! - 350! We have 350 there!

- 400! - 400?

- Five! - 500?

Anyone offering more? Anyone?

Sold to the man there for 500!

O-Tsuno from Shimabara, please. O-Tsuno! Here we go!

Youth is not all, beauty is not all!

She has the kindest heart in all of Japan.

Come on, let's go!

Admire her beauty!

Hey! Stop it already!

- How old are you? - Thirty-one.

- Honestly? - Thirty-three.

Thirty-three? Get her out of here!

Come on, come on. Let's move on!

And here's the next one, Ueno from Amakusa!

Please!

Here she is, just 16 years old!

- Well? - 300!

- 300. - 330!

- 330. Who bids more? - 400!

400, once! 400, twice!

"...and especially Master Iheiji, whom I've come to see as a god,

"my guardian angel and a trustworthy gentleman.

"The work is tough, but I'll return with my head held high."

I've put the essential lines in.

Please forgive me for being too old and nobody wanting to buy me!

- Boss Iheiji! - What?

Oh, Kumai from Singapore!

Well, now... what are your plans, Boss?

You must've made a nice bit of capital by now!

Well, listen, Boss...

Between ourselves, there aren't enough women in British Malaysia.

- Not enough? - Yes.

There're too many Japanese women in Singapore.

You should open a business here, if you want to do business.

- Where's that? - Kuala.

- Kuala Lumpur? - Right.

There are rubber tree forests, tin and copper mines. And plenty of men.

There's lots of money around but not enough women.

There's a market you should tap!

The harbor, that's where you find the men.

The main harbor is bristling with activity!

There's tons of miners, farmhands, and sailors from all over the world!

But there are no Japanese!

There's a fortune to be made!

I could get you a license from the Viceroy himself.

Captain Uehara...

I'll be leaving for the South Seas.

I'm living with evil and good.

I'm opening up the road for the development of my country's trade.

I dedicate my sacrifice to you.

STRAIT OF MALACCA

PORT SWETTENHAM

- Here they are! - Here they are!

- Hurrah! - Hurrah!

- Once again! - Hurrah!

Boss! Boss!

We're so happy to see you!

Well, thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

- And where are the brothels? - That way, very close by.

This way, please!

It's very hot, isn't it? It's because we're right on the Equator.

It doesn't bother me.

We've arrived.

That one is Genkichi's. And that's mine, the "Butamatsu".

And that one's yours, Boss. It works like a charm.

- Looks mournful for an outpost. - Yes, Boss...

I did my best to find others, but we have a small problem.

- A problem? - Yes.

There's a wiseguy in town who controls everything.

His name's Wang, and I can assure you he's no pushover.

- Wang? - Used to be a pirate under Fuken.

He owns some thirty brothels around here and a dozen more in town. The best spots.

All the places we wanted are on his turf.

Our girls have to work onboard.

But, like always, a little money will do the trick.

Here's the license for the brothel.

Excuse me for now, but I have to catch the ship for Singapore.

- Well done. - Oh, for me? Thank you, thank you.

Thank you, thank you.

Goodbye, goodbye.

Hey, where's Wang's house?

He has houses almost everywhere. There's one down there.

I don't know anything, I swear! I don't know anything!

Hey!

Is that you, Wang?

Shiho!

- What are you doing here? - So it was you...

You know him?

I met him in Singapore, he was just one of my clients.

Who's he?

He's my husband.

That's fine. My masters will appreciate it.

I have to let them know first. Then we'll talk again.

What do you take me for? Neither of us has masters in this business.

That's true. So what are you doing in my house?

We've come to say hello.

I'm most grateful. Of course, my house is your house.

Come on! Come aboard and have me! Where are you off to?

- Have you seen Fumie? - No, I haven't.

I've looked for her everywhere. She's disappeared.

What?

The Boss is heading this way!

- Welcome, sir. - Welcome, sir.

We don't know where Fumie is.

- Since when? - Not long. Since early this evening.

Does she have a boyfriend?

There's a Malaysian guy she's been seeing quite a lot, but no way...

She's been swept off her feet by his Malaysian charm.

- He bewitched her and kidnapped her. - Damn it! We must find her!

We don't know the Malaysians that well. It'll be difficult!

I don't care! It's your job!

Go and hang in every room the portrait of our revered Emperor.

Understood?

Damn it!

If she left early in the evening, they'll be far away by now.

Hurry and go hang up portraits of the piggy Emperor.

There's little we can do about searching for her.

Right.

- Genkichi... - Yes.

SINGAPORE

- A state-owned brothel? - Yes, sir.

We'll call them "national brothels".

We'll first settle in Port Swettenham, with your blessing, of course.

Then in Singapore, Hong Kong, Saigon, Bangkok, Manchuria, everywhere!

All the brothels will be part of our imperial project of expansion.

They're now saying the State writes the school textbooks,

so then why not imagine state-owned brothels?

The private sector's prospering, so it should work out fine.

What are you saying?

A nice consulate like yours must be costing the nation a pretty buck.

State-owned brothels would bring the state a lot of money.

Why wouldn't a country like Japan admit that?

Have faith in the whores, they're regular moneymakers!

- I don't understand you. - You don't?

Still, I owe my master, Captain Uehara, for the foundations of my plan.

Never heard of him. But don't you have a conscience?

A conscience?

Don't you feel any shame in trafficking women?

Not at all. I'm convinced it's a good thing.

You're unbelievable!

And to think people like you come here every day from Japan!

Our Fatherland sends her daughters abroad to facilitate its expansion.

Thanks to them, soon all the sidewalks in the East will be Japanese! That's not bad!

As for myself, I intend to faithfully pursue my mission.

What are you jabbering about? You've got no mercy!

The women weren't that happy at home.

But, perhaps, you don't like women very much.

Get out of here!

I'll be back soon and maybe you'll change your mind.

Goodbye, sir!

Hey, coach!

It's been four years. Do you remember?

We were about to get married.

You disappeared. I waited two months for you.

One day, a Japanese decided to buy me. That's all there is to it.

But I wasn't in love with him.

- That was Iheiji, wasn't it? - Not at all.

It was someone else. Iheiji's a childhood friend.

I sent you a message.

What are you saying? What message?

I had to do three months in prison. An awful tale.

I couldn't get in touch with you. I was stuck there.

Had you received my message in time, would you have stayed?

I think I would have.

Shiho, I want to start over again with you.

You're married now.

Nothing has changed where it concerns you.

Time changes a woman more than it does a man.

You wouldn't be here if you didn't still love me.

Tell me...

This brothel we want to open, are you alright with it?

If you're hungry, there's a tavern at the end of the pier.

- Alright? - Yes.

I'm 680 leagues from home

- How's business? - Not bad, Boss.

Business ain't bad

On the boat into Nagasaki Harbor

Welcome home, Boss!

Not like that.

That's it.

Oh, welcome back, dear.

- Welcome home. - Is this a new game?

I'm just teaching them.

Get undressed, dear.

They have to learn how to treat a man right.

Listen, I'm going to set up and train a kidnapping squad.

- Kidnapping? - Yes.

I have a gang of ex-convicts from Singapore who'll be working for me.

Once trained, I'll send them to Japan and they'll bring me lots of girls.

But that'll be the last time they break the law. They'll become honest men.

They'll have to send me ten girls fit to work.

From the ten girls, I'll be buying two at a fair price, 1,200 yen.

Thanks to this money and the eight girls, they'll be able to start their own brothels.

They'll give up a life of crime and earn an honest living.

I see.

Each of you takes it in turn touching him.

The more we stimulate the opening of brothels, the more we'll be exporting.

Boats will be swarming to Japan. We'll get rich!

- That hurt! - Gently!

And the more our girls make, the more they'll send back home,

the more their parents pay in taxes, and the richer the Fatherland gets.

I hope a woman can appreciate how smart this is!

I'm a genius. I should be decorated for this!

- Ow, that hurts! - Dearest...

Wang has approved the brothel.

We can open up!

What? You went to see Wang yesterday while I was away?

Yes, I did.

Did you and Wang...?

What? You're insulting me, as if I sold my soul to the devil!

But I don't know what happened...

Eh? It's suddenly shrunk, madam!

Please, give me a child, Shiho.

I want a child. My child.

That's impossible.

You know... You know what I used to be.

I used to be a whore.

No one knows, my love.

My love! My love!

SOCIETY FOR THE REHABILITATION OF FORMER CONVICTS

- Do you fancy me? - Hello, darling!

Hey, don't you have something in your pants for me?

- Nobody's interested. - Come on!

Don't bother with him.

- Come in, come in! - I can show you a good time.

37TH YEAR OF MEIJI ERA (1904) RUSSO-JAPANESE WAR ANNOUNCED

Where's the Boss? The ship's arrived.

Room number two.

Chota, you'll have the merchandise by tonight?

Yeah.

- How much is that? - $33.

Three dollars more?

Prices are going up because of the war.

Sorry, but all of this is Japan's fault.

And the truth is, I'm giving you a special price, madam.

I'd be charging anyone else $35.

Boss! A great success! We've brought thirty-one girls!

They're from Kyushu, Hiroshima, Okayama, all stunningly beautiful!

Great job. How are things back in Japan?

Well, debts are mounting, taxes too, and all everyone talks about is war.

Aside from that, everything's fine.

No one's got any money and parents are selling their daughters. Secretly, of course.

Minus two girls, that's 1,200, minus 200 expenses, 80 in rent, which gives 920 yen.

- There you go. - Thanks.

With the thirty-one from today, we have a total of 65.

That's right.

There are still seven ex-convicts in Japan and they'll each bring ten girls.

Even if I sell half of them, we'll obviously have to open several new brothels.

- I'm off, Boss. - Where to?

I have to convince the new girls to accept their fate.

Great job.

Come here, girls!

The heart... it's all about the heart.

As long as you don't sell your heart, your actions are justified.

Alright?

I paid 200 yen to your parents, and 300 yen to get you here,

10 yen in taxes and 25 yen in interest.

I paid everything up front.

You owe me this money.

They say a woman can be strong in certain circumstances, yes?

You poor girls.

However, sell your bodies, and you'll be able to buy a lot of gold.

That's how you'll make your beloved parents happy.

You'll be able to send money to your parents.

Now all of you are my wives.

You are my soul wives!

I'll never abandon you.

Your hearts are joined with my heart.

You can sell your bodies, of course.

But in five or six years, you'll be able to go back home, in shining glory!

You idiot!

You slut!

You fool! Did you really think you could escape like this?

If you try to run away once more, I swear I'll kill you!

Sorry, sorry.

As you were, as you were.

How do you like Japanese girls?

They are still hot. You are so big!

I'm getting bored. He's sweating so much!

- What did she say? - "Big and strong!"

Here... you forgot money.

Oh, good.

Now I'm a regular Japanese businessman.

About my gambling house license, are you sure?

Very good.

I'm the only Japanese to be able to open a casino.

Oh, don't forget to take 20% on the bets.

Thank you, thank you. Keep going, keep going.

Now, everything is okay.

The 200 acres belong to Mr. Muraoka.

You sure got a good bargain, Mr. Muraoka.

"Dear brother, I am now the owner of a 200-acre plantation.

"It's been 13 years since I left home,

"and I have at last become a big landowner.

"Today I received a photo of the new house in Shimabara, built with my money.

"Here, at last, is the much awaited moment of the Muraoka house restoration."

Oh, look at this! Proof that business is doing fine!

They say he brings them from Japan. He's surely got plenty of money now.

What a splendid villa!

He also has a rubber tree plantation. Money begets money, you know.

The Emperor appreciates your effort. Here is the golden bowl as reward.

It is a great honor for all of us.

And now...

Glory to you, revered Emperor, and most respected Empress.

Bow before them!

May this 38th year of the Meiji Era be a great year for you!

Happy New Year!

- To the fall of Port Arthur! - Congratulations!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

And now, have fun, everybody!

- Be a good little soldier. - Thank you.

Hello, Boss!

Oh, Kumai!

You've got so rich and powerful!

I'm not at all surprised.

In Singapore, all they talk about is your success. You're famous!

- Happy New Year, Boss! - You too.

I'm a cloth merchant and I've just opened a shop.

I've come to express my gratitude for your help and protection.

- Great stuff. - Have a drink.

Boss.

Long time no see.

Fumie! Where've you been hiding?

With the Malaysian guy. Where did you think?

Boss, can I have some sake?

That's water.

Apologize!

I don't give a damn about your story. You should be ashamed of yourself!

You fool. You'll have to pay back your debt.

Ask for forgiveness!

Forgive me.

I'd like to work here so I can pay back my debt.

But do you know what the Malaysians think?

That this is still their land!

That the British and the Japanese make the laws.

- I shouldn't have come back here! - What are you doing here, then?

When you're poor, do you think you have a choice?

Come on.

Let her be.

No more bets? No one? Play!

- Three-two, odd! - 20% for the bank!

Thank you, thank you.

- Will this go to the nation? - Who knows?

- Who's going to check? - Play!

What are you up to, Kino?

I'm pregnant again. So I have to get rid of it.

That's done it!

What the hell...? Shiho will take care of this.

There you go. There's around 8,000 yen.

This is my contribution as a businessman in this country.

What business do you mean?

Well, my rubber plantation and my import-export dealings.

- What import-export dealings? - Oh, multifarious things.

You make a lot of money exploiting those poor girls.

Of course, it's big money. Huge money, even.

Even companies like Mitsui don't make this kind of money.

- Talking of which... - A Japanese Association?

Yes, exactly!

There are hundreds of Japanese corpses without graves,

and we have to do something about it.

We must put these souls to rest.

This is a national shame.

This is an intolerable situation.

To remedy this, I have founded the Japanese Association.

It will collect money with the help of you all, its new members.

If not, this is what could happen to you.

Were you aware that 90% of the members are whores?

Hush!

Mr. Ikenami will be our president, Mr. Takenouchi our vice-president.

And the treasurer will be myself, Iheiji Muraoka.

With that, I congratulate you all.

"Captain Uehara,

"I was very moved by the news of the occupation of Mukden.

"I continue to follow your instructions to the letter,

"and I'm doing my utmost to enhance the prosperity of the Empire of Japan."

- Hey, Boss! - Congratulations.

Hey, aren't you Tome's friend?

And would you be... Muraoka?

That's right.

The war took a turn for the worst in Mukden.

There were a thousand soldiers for every ten girls.

It was unbearable, so I went back to Japan.

I was in Shimabara looking for girls. She accosted me, so I took her along.

In Japan, I had no parents and no friends left to help me.

So I got married in Shimabara.

He was an old miser who used to call me a bitch and a whore.

So, to avenge myself, I ran naked through the village!

May the gods help me...

Damn it!

Japan's a shithole!

Fuck Japan!

Tome was on a mission, and Japan just used her.

She ended up being killed by the Russians.

Can you believe that?

Boss, the Russian fleet will be passing through here, on the way from the Baltic.

- Where did you hear that? - In Singapore.

- And who told you? - A naval officer.

Hey! We're trying to spot the Russian flag!

It's no time to fall asleep!

- Boss! Can we change the guard now? - Very well! Changeover!

Changeover! Changeover!

Do you really think the Russian fleet will come?

No idea. Hurry up, it's changeover!

What's Boss Iheiji thinking?

Since the beginning of the war, business has been bad.

The arrival of the Russian fleet's not the only reason.

Business has slowed down a lot.

Everywhere but your business.

You must have something else going on.

Are you saying I gamble?

Yeah! I do and I also drink!

I lead a debauched life, and it's because of you.

You're the sole reason.

You drunkard! You're talking rubbish.

I've always been in love with you. Ever since I was a kid.

You know that! But it's Iheiji who snatched you.

And he leads a dog's life. Fucking fate!

You're whining like a child. Go home!

I'll pretend I didn't hear a thing. Go home!

Shiho, let me have you just once.

- Let go of me. - Shiho.

You slept with Wang! Everybody knows it!

So sleep with me too. What difference does it make?

Get off me, you idiot!

Sis! Sis!

Serves him right! And he calls himself a man?

Aren't you ready yet?

- Fumie, have you calmed down? - Yes.

Be careful of the Malaysians' charm this time round.

And don't forget to regularly lubricate your engines.

Yes.

It's here! It's here! The Russian fleet has arrived!

Those devils!

- What an awful sight! - I was better off not knowing!

May the gods help us!

Enough! Quieten down!

We mustn't panic.

- May the gods have mercy on our Navy. - And grant them safe return to Japan.

- May the gods help us. - And our Emperor.

Have pity of us.

I've counted forty-seven ships.

- Fancy a wager? - Yep!

I'll put $10 on the Japanese fleet.

And I'll put ten on the Russian fleet.

It's already a done deal.

Shiho!

I have to talk to you.

I want you all to myself.

Impossible. I belong to Iheiji, you know that.

Iheiji will manage.

You can help me. Even if I can't touch you.

Think about it. I'll wait.

But there's your wife...

She's not the one who can help me.

Shiho... take your time, I'll wait.

I can't. I can't do that.

We Chinese are patient.

Iheiji worries too much about Japan.

Win or lose, what does it matter?

All of this has nothing to do with you and me.

A nation is a little like the black smoke you see there.

- Don't you think so? - I understand what you're saying.

But no...

The truth is, unfortunately, I love you.

38TH YEAR OF MEIJI ERA (1905), RUSSO-JAPAN PEACE TREATY

Let's drink to victory!

Japan victorious!

The building is yours, Boss.

But the eight girls and the furniture will be your collateral,

if I can't repay you.

I want 5,000 yen for all of this.

Why do you want to borrow so much money?

Gambling debts. I played against Wang and lost everything.

If I don't pay him by tomorrow, I'm dead.

- Give him the money. - Wait...

I've just paid $40,000 for the plantation!

- We have nothing left. - I already paid that last year.

I know, but we have no choice.

- We have to invest. - I know that!

We have to help him.

He's sick, with the gambling demon inside him.

You know, there is another way.

What's that?

Shiho can negotiate directly with Wang on my behalf.

That's my only chance!

No way.

- Out of the question! - You want to get me killed?

It's your own doing! You reap what you sow!

Damn you!

45TH YEAR OF MEIJI ERA (1912) JULY

Come ashore!

As you see, Boss, times have changed. I'm sorry.

Only four women?

Things aren't what they used to be. The price of rice has gone up.

And if there are still parents selling their daughters, the police scare them.

We had no choice, so we put them on a regular boat and got them legit papers.

It cost us a lot.

I had eight girls onboard when the police arrived and took them.

And not just the girls, but the captain, the quartermaster and the ship's boy!

They could end up in jail for eight years.

Oh, Boss, our revered Emperor expired two days ago.

I found out yesterday in Singapore.

Are you saying... the Emperor is dead?

What's he up to?

Hara-kiri. Just like a samurai.

Just stop that, will you, dear?

I have to do it!

Is there anyone going with me to the Netherworld?

Anyone? You? You?

You?

No one, eh? Very well.

Then I will die. I will die!

For my Emperor... Banzai!

Dearest!

- Dearest! - Oh, that hurts...

How do they do it when it hurts so much?

Ow! Blood!

Boss! Twenty girls have arrived!

Twenty girls from Yamagata have arrived.

- Twenty girls? - Yes.

Good...

- Boss! Boss! - What?

- Our boss, Chota, is missing. - What happened to Chota?

We don't know.

We've not seen him since last night. The girls have also disappeared.

I spent the night with a client, so I had no idea.

Then this morning I realized no one was here.

Thief! Someone's stolen all the girls!

They've done us over.

Look, it's empty!

That bastard Chota tricked us!

Chota did this?

He must've run off to Singapore with one of our boats! The bastard!

Hurry, get a boat ready for me! Hurry!

Hurry, to the boat!

That looks like Wang's boat.

It's towing a row boat!

That's Chota.

Wang's captured Chota.

What's going on?

Chota and Wang were in it together. The bastard!

- No way. - Looks like that.

Wang's played him.

I don't understand it.

Iheiji!

Chota owed me money. Now he's paid, we're even.

- You can have him back! - You'll pay for this, Wang!

Turn the boat around! Hurry!

Have mercy! Forgive me!

It was between me and Wang! It doesn't concern you!

I'll pay you back the money! Let me go! Let me go!

Mercy! Let me go!

Let me go!

- Get it over with. - Iheiji!

You murderers!

Death to the Japanese!

DON'T BUY JAPANESE WOMEN

- Overthrow the Japanese! - Attack them!

NO TRADE WITH THE JAPANESE

Burn all Japanese products!

Calm down! Follow Wang's instructions!

Clear the street! Stop making a disturbance!

- Let me through! Let me through! - Go away!

8TH YEAR OF TAISHO ERA (1919) JUNE

That's the third boycott in less than ten years.

Keep calm, it's just noise.

Even if they burn some Japanese merchandise,

Japan will abide, believe me.

But in the meantime, we don't have a single client.

Let's accept Malaysians and Indians to make up the clientele.

No Malaysians, no matter what. They bewitch the girls.

I have two girls who were bewitched.

It seems that Yamagata girls are very vulnerable to this kind of stuff.

Women are vulnerable.

- More than others. - Don't joke about it.

It's a moral issue.

- The Emperor's picture will protect you. - Yes.

But it seems the new Emperor's picture is less efficient.

- Moron! - Why doesn't the Consul step in?

I've written to draw his attention to it. Something will be done.

Thank you. You're always so kind.

It's nothing.

Here's the police. A couple of cudgel blows and it's all over.

That'll teach them.

Let's go!

What? Have you gone mad?

Do you have permits from Japanese Consul?

We are Japanese! Don't do that!

- Dearest! - Don't do that!

- Boss! - Boss!

Who's the captain? I'm going to sack him!

Iheiji, you won't sack anyone.

So that's what this is all about. Pleased with yourself?

Calm down, Iheiji.

Let me go!

- Behead them! - Damn Japs!

Damn the lot of you!

Damn those British bastards!

Show a little patience.

- They'll be back soon, begging us. - What makes you so sure?

Japan will overrun this country in less time that it takes to say it.

Japan has already taken back all its islands in the South Seas.

Those islands lie right next to this country.

If only that were true.

Listen, Japan's a small country, with very few resources.

Its future lies with China and the South Seas.

- That's its historic destiny. - I see...

- Come on out, Iheiji Muraoka. - Yes.

I'll get you all out of here, alright?

The Police Chief's overwhelmed. I need an audience with the British Governor.

I guessed as much.

Here are your clothes and some money.

- Now, we must get all my men out. - I don't have that kind of money.

Because of the boycott.

- And the rubber price has fallen 30%. - That's too bad.

I'd like to know why we can't work anymore.

I think it's because of the new Emperor.

We have no choice, we have to stop. The decision was taken by the authorities.

And you, what are you going to do?

Me? I'll probably get married to that Indian.

What about you?

Me? I'll be running away to Ipoh.

Nobody will find me there.

I'll go back to Japan.

Madam, would you keep my savings for me?

- Of course. - And mine too?

That goes for everyone. Don't worry, I'll take good care of them.

Sixteen years already in Hong Kong since I met the Boss...

I can't believe our contract ended six years ago.

Time flies, we'll be old women soon.

Just stop your bullshit for a moment.

Madam, if you've really taken care of our savings, I'd like to see them.

They're at the bank.

You don't have them! They never existed!

Is that true, Madam?

I'm sorry but it's true. There's nothing I can do about it.

On the other hand, I'll sell everything I have,

so I can give you your money back.

Very well. We take note of your promise.

You should all have about 10,000 yen saved.

Money's all that matters.

Without this money, we're nothing at all.

People don't even see us as human beings!

Just look at me...

Madam! Madam! Fumie has fallen! She's taken ill!

My money...

Madam... my money!

We'll get you to bed and take care of you.

My money!

Don't worry! There's nothing to be afraid of, your money's safe.

Give it to my family...

Leave her alone! You killed her! You Japanese are murderers!

She did you no wrong. You killed her. You took her money.

You thief!

My love, I know how much you suffered.

You are my only treasure. You always will be. Always.

Anyway, have you talked to the Japanese Consul?

What?

It's not much.

Please forgive us.

Thank you very much. Everything seems to have been cleared, doesn't it?

So, here you are. You did well to have come.

I'd like to be sure that it's Japan who wanted me arrested.

It's true, Muraoka.

We have to take measures to improve our fellow countrymen's morality.

- You must understand that. - Morality?

What did those girls do wrong, living by their bodies?

Do you imagine life gave them any other choice?

What else could they have done?

- You made lots of money. - You think so?

It's the merchants and the companies that get rich. You know that!

There's nothing I can do. Times have changed, Muraoka.

They worked for the Fatherland!

You aren't going to tell me that some pen-pusher just decided this?

You'll get the official papers soon. They were sent two days ago.

To Singapore, to Penang, and to Kuala Lumpur.

Do what you want. I won't give up!

If you don't desist, sir, you'll be forcefully deported.

It'd be wiser to think about your own future.

Get it into your head that I won't leave here until I get satisfaction.

Not before having founded the Japanese National Brothel.

It's my life's work and I'll defend it!

Kino!

Kino!

O-Kin? Hey, O-Kin, wake up!

Wake up!

- Boss! - Just listen.

We'll have children, and the Muraokas will settle here for generations.

Everything alright in there? No diseases?

Alright, go wash yourself. Go wash yourself!

Shiho...

- Where's Shiho? - We haven't seen her since last night.

- Since last night? - Fumie died yesterday evening.

We went with her Malaysian lover to her funeral.

After that, Shiho left alone and nobody's seen her since.

- Has she left us? - I don't think so.

- She must've gone to see Wang. - Wang?

Boss, I'm ready. Where do you want me?

- Shiho! Where's Shiho gone? - I don't know.

- Is she with Wang? - I don't know anything.

Shiho!

Shiho!

My dear...

Wang... this time you've crossed the line.

- Calm down, my love. - Wang...

Come here.

Wang lent me $50,000.

He paid the bail to set all the men free.

Boss!

They've deported us. We have to leave the country.

Dearest...

We need money to wrap up all your businesses.

There are still so many things to sort out.

Iheiji, give me your wife.

I'll write off the $50,000,

and I'll give you 200,000 for the brothels,

and Shiho stays with me.

- Never! - Never?

You have $200,000. Go back to Japan. You're rich.

And you won't lose face in front of your men.

I don't give a shit about money!

We're not young anymore. Money matters.

- What matters is my country. - Japan has abandoned you!

Maybe, but I still love it!

I'd give my life for Shiho.

Give her to me.

I need her.

This is what you want to do to me?

$200,000 for a woman over 40 years old?

Age is not an issue for me!

What's more, I know she needs me!

Iheiji, she's the one who'll choose.

Very well.

Shiho, come with me. Let's board the boat.

Be brave.

I'll follow him.

Shiho?

Wang will give me money.

It's been a long time since I've wanted to do business on my own.

And I'll be old soon.

Forgive me for what I've done.

Thank you for everything.

Shiho!

I'll never forget you... my love.

I shall always love you!

Did I...

Did I do wrong, my Emperor?

Shiho!

Shiho!

What did I do wrong? Tell me!

It's agony!

It's unbearable!

I've done nothing wrong!

I, who am so righteous, so honest, damn it.

Damn it!

Besides, I have other women who have a heart.

Plenty of women!

My soul wives.

That's what I need!

One, two. One, two...

I must leave a more powerful impression than those Chinese!

So we Japanese must multiply! Understand?

Alright? Let's go!

Now!

Don't move!

Don't let it leak! Open your legs!

Lie down.

Again?

We're making babies for the Emperor.

- Lie down, I said. - Okay.

Let's go!

- Yes! - Why are you rushing?

Be quiet!

Now! Now!

Don't move!

Open your legs!

Take it all!

16TH YEAR OF SHOWA ERA (1941) DECEMBER

One...

Two...

You're exhausted already, dearest.

Not at all.

Stop it. You emptied yourself a while ago!

Stop laughing!

Your Majesty, I don't know why,

but lately I feel very close to Your Majesty.

For the Emperor!

KOTA BHARU, EAST COAST OF MALAYSIA

Captain Uehara,

I founded a miniature Japan here.

I don't only mean the land, but the quality of the people too,

as the Chinese merchants proved.

Right, children.

Welcome home, Father.

Good.

Welcome back.

Well, aren't you going out fishing?

- No, the sea's no good today. - Really?

It's me!

- Welcome back. - Welcome home, Father!

Good.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye, Father.

Aheji, Saheji, Taheji!

Yes!

How does Japan fare today?

- Everything alright? - Yes, sir!

Good.

- Mother! - Mother! Mother!

Mother!

Platoon...

...halt!

Attention! General inspection!

Fall in!

- Platoon, halt! - Faster!

Present... arms!

1st Platoon, present!

2nd Platoon, present!

3rd Platoon, present!

4th Platoon, present!

Japan has arrived.

Orders are to attack the Kota Bharu airfield immediately!

Watch out for enemy ambushes!

- All units! - All units, shoulder arms!

Be careful. Don't get too close.

Don't go there!

My name is Iheiji Muraoka.

It's been so long. So long!

- What's he saying? - Sounds like he's speaking Japanese.

This is Malaysia here, but it's also Japan.

- Out of the way, old man. - The Army needs whores.

I know that much, kid.

I'm Iheiji Muraoka, the lady-seller!

I can find you women.

- I can sort you out... - Father!

- I can... - Father! Father!

Bastards!

Hey, be careful!

Go and play outside, kids. Off you go.

Stop that!

Stop that, husband!

Be quiet, you old hen!

Be careful! Your life is not yours anymore!

You have children to care for!

I live for my mission!

Japan has arrived.

My Japan is here at last!

I'll be able to set up the Japanese National brothel at last!

Hey! My honorable soldiers!

Allow me to provide women for you!

My honorable soldiers!

My soldiers!

THE END
