"The original site and ruins of Manchu 731 Squadron Residential District, Harbin, China"
Prior to the Second World War
The Japanese Militarists had occupied N. E. China
& established the puppet state Manchoukou
In order to expand their Great East Asia Empire
The Japanese did a lot of preparatory work
Some of the least known work
Were the experiments on bacterial weapons
The Manchu 731 Squadron
Had many sub-sections
They were : Helier
Sun Wu
Lin Kou
Mu Dan Jiang
And An Da Rural Experimental Station
The main offices of 731
Was situated in a residential district of Harbin
It covered a large area.
The headquarters were heavily guarded
It was surrounded by high tension electric fences.
Inside were extensive facilities
There was an animal farm
A crematorium
A pathology laboratory, a jail
An electrical generating plant
The commander's quarters
And other sections for various experimental projects
In February 1 945
Things weren't going well for the Japanese forces
The Central Planning Office recalled
A medical doctor Lt. General Ishii Shiro, the inventor of the Ishii Water Purifier
Who'd been relieved from duty for corruption
To be 731 Squadron Commander
At the same time a group of young people were recruited
To replace 731 's existing members
"The banks of Song Hua River"
When will the new people arrive?
Commander Takehara's gone to Bai Hua Liao
To see the new captain
He's been gone for about an hour.
Why aren't we allowed to go to Bai Hua Liao?
This place is freezing cold .
Yes it's similar to Chiba Prefecture
I think it's much colder here
Ishikawa, don't you think so?
It makes no difference
We aren't going home anyway
Look!
Ishikawa already misses home after leaving Mom for a few days.
He's just a Momma's boy
He even broke down & cried when his mom saw him off
But you cried too!
No l don't!
But my Mom & sister did
Yeah my mom cried too
I didn't cry
But I felt really bad
My father was killed fighting in China
So was mine!
So were my father & elder brother
They died fighting in China
This kind of food is hard to get back home
Do you know that?
Drag him out!
Yeah! Punch him in!
"The original building housing of the Manchu 731 Squadron"
General
Doctor Ishii's arrived at the H .Q.
Would you. . .
Yeah l'm coming
Sir!
Ishikawa
Catch the ball!
Dr. Ishii!
Gen.
Kikuchi
You still look the same Ishii
Our old comrade from 731
Welcome back Ishii
Lt. General Ishii's returned to the corps.
Idiots!
Listen! I'm the new Section Head , Captain Kawasaki
From now on you're in the Kwangtung Army
Members of the 731 Squadron Youth Corps!
If you get the chance to go to Harbin
Whether on leave or your day off
You must change into civilian clothes before leaving
& when you return
Put your uniforms back on at Bai Hua Liao
If you run into any other Japanese
Or if you're stopped by a patrol
You will not reveal your secondment to this squadron.
Is that clear?
Yes Sir!
"Crematorium"
It's almost 3 years since 1 942
A toast to you and your brother's reunion
Cheers!
Thank you sir
Now Gentlemen
I've not been here for the last couple of years
But I know all about
What has been going on here
I've looked into the research done by Mr. Kitano
& I think it's been handle wrongly.
What we need most now
Is to increase the production & the number of bacteria
We must use bacterial weapons in the war
To speed our victory.
A toast to victory!
To the Empire.
To victory!
And to Mr. Ishii for leading 731 !
Cheers!
Sir!
Lt. General sir.
Lt. Onoe Shunji
Reporting for duty from the Kwangtung Army commander's officer.
Lt. General?
I should have been a full general!
I don't understand
Why those idiots at the Central Planning Office
Decided that army doctors cannot go on higher than Lt. General
It's ridiculous
Lt. Onoe!
I've just made a criticism against the Central Planning Office
Would you inform on me?
Stop!
Have you no respect for your seniors?
Forget it, go back!
You'll be in trouble if you're discovered.
I can't!
My brother gave me that ball when l left Japan.
Get up! Out of your beds!
Where's Hoshino and Ishikawa?
I don't know.
I don't either
One. . . where's he gone to?
I don't know!
"Animal Farm"
Hoshino!
Don't run!
Hoshino!
That was. . . totally undisciplined
It must never be repeated
The training of the Youth Corps is important.
It's not only because we're short of staff
It's also because what we require here.
Are people of the highest integrity.
The Central Office only see the importance
Of bacterial weapons in this war.
They fail to realise that biological & chemical weapons
Will greatly affect the future of Japan.
They wiIl play a very important role.
So we must work doubly hard on these experiments.
Yes sir!
That really was unexpected.
We have to step up security and discipline
It's late. l'd better leave you two to talk!
Brother, sit down
Shiro
What's happening back in Chiba Prefecture?
But people are managing.
People have suffered a lot these last few years.
There's shortage of everything.
We can only do our best brother.
Yes.
How are things here?
What about the men's morale?
Not too bad
Things are alright.
Also. . . we confirmed that the incident
Which got you relieved.
Was due to an informer.
It was Lt. Colonel Nakatome who reported you.
He even ridiculed the effectiveness of your water purifier.
Nakatome!
Goddamn him!
Attention!
Nakatome! Lt. Colone! Nakatome, present!
Here sir!
Lt. Gen. Ishii wants you . . .
Kawasaki , any absentees?
Unfortunately
We had an accident just now.
I want you to treat those kids from Chiba gently.
They are important to us.
Thank you.
Yes.
Damn you!
Hoshino brought about his own death.
And you're all acting like a bunch of school girls.
What kind of soldiers are you?
How can you gain honor for Chiba like this?
Soldiers shouldn't act like this!
Close ranks.
Quick!
Forward!
Everybody down, prone position, crawl!
Quick march!
Quick!
Asshole
Quick!
Attention!
I heard that the fighting are very heavy on the southern front
Our whole army could possibly be wiped out!
It sounds serious
We have to push our people
To speed up the experiments on the marut.
Let's go!
These biological weapons
Let's go!
Are the only way to turn the war in our favour.
What did they say?
It sounded like little Japan is finished !
Let's go!
Wait!
Sir, please!
Give me back my baby!
My son. . .
Lt. General sir. . .
Aren't we supposed to conserve the maruts?
This one can be stuffed and mounted, it won't be wasted.
"February 29, 1 945 Victim : Zhao Qing, Han Chinese, 3 months old"
Oh water!
Water's coming out!
It's really tough .
Thank god the money's alright.
Also I can study.
Do you send money home?
No.
Come on you spend it all every month!
No, mom said I must save it for the war efforts
This is a nice place.
It's similar to Chiba Prefecture.
Chiba's not as cold
This is like a hospital
I say it's not
We only have dead bodies here
Hospitals should have patients
This is more like a medical school!
Not like medical school
They don't have soldiers everywhere
And they're not heavily guarded.
Anyway this is fine by me
I eat well and I can make money
Only thing is that fat captain
He's too much!
He's always looking for trouble.
Yes, Yes.
Look! Isn't that Hoshino's ball?
Get it back!
Come on let's get it back
Let's get it back!
Stop!
There's nowhere to run!
Give the ball back to us!
There's nowhere to run to!
This isn't Hoshino's ball.
Who are you? What are you doing here?
He's a mute!
HoId on a minute!
Sir!
What's wrong with him?
He's been here for over a month
But he's still not adjusted to the place yet.
He vomits every time he goes to work.
When it happens
We have to let him take a break
It'll take him a while to get used to it.
This is nothing he'll soon get used to it.
His job is important.
We reply on the colours to determine the results of the experiments
We can't depend totally on black and white pictures.
Look after him see that he works well.
Yes sir!
Sir!
Lt. Col. Nakatome Jiro.
I've been transferred to the southern front by order of the Kwangtung Army Commander
I'd like to say goodbye sir.
Congratulations
The situation in the south is serious.
A patriotic soldier like you.
Should be able to achieve a lot there.
Especially as you have a close relationship with the planning office
You can do a lot for the war effort!
Yes sir!
This must be your arrangement.
"March 2, 1 945, Pathology Laboratory Victim : Zhang Shulin, Manchurian, 26 years old"
This marut
Has been injected with "Black Death Virus"
But nothing's developed yet
So now let's dissect him
And see what we can find inside the body.
Right!
The correct data
ReIies on continuous tests on experimental subjects
So these maruts
Not only have to be alive
But they also have to be fit and healthy.
Experimenting on living bodies
Is a rare opportunity.
Yes sir
What is this?
It's a man.
What is this?
He's a Chinese man.
What is this?
Sir
He's a bad Chinese man!
This is a marut.
It's a log for the fire or making coffins
It's material for experiments.
It's called a "Marut".
What is this?
This is a marut!
What is this?
A marut!
What is this?
Marut!
What is this?
Marut!
Go ahead!
We must try to get evidence
And get it out of here
So the outside world knows what's going on here.
It is the only thing we can do!
Look, why bother?
say we have no chance of getting out here!
You chicken! You have no back-bone!
and you. . . Iearn to be a man . Don't copy him.
You don't act like a Chinese!
"Bayonet Practice Ground"
Put your guns down!
ReIax!
The lesson on experiments will start tomorrow.
So work hard men, and learn well
Is that clear?
Yes sir!
Let's go!
Sir, please!
Iet her carry it away
its her baby!
Please sir!
"Bacteria Extermination Room"
Quickly change your clothes!
Hurry up!
Let's go!

- "Bacteria Breeding Room" - Look, this is the "gene" production room .
This is the high temperature bacteria extermination room .
Look this way please.
This is the bacteria transplants.
You must study hard and learn all this as soon as possible.
Yes sir!
"Frostbite Experimental Room"
This is the cold treatment station
At -35ºC for 1 0 hours Cold Treatment.
Water temperature 1 5ºC
"March 9, 1 945 Victim : Jin Yuanlong, Manchurian, 31 years old"
What you're looking at now.
Is a quick freezing station, it's -1 96ºC
Don't move
Finish your apple
And spit it out like I do.
Don't swallow it
This way you can
CoIlect the germs from the mouth.
Yes sir.
Go back and tell your captain.
That you'll be my guests this Sunday.
We'll have a drink together.
Yes sir.
And you'll come too, O. K.?
Right!
Thank you.
This is a question of humanity.
No!
This concerns the rise or fall of the Great Japanese Empire.
Listen Ishikawa, they're human beings too
They have parents just like you!
What are you talking about?
Give me better justification than that!
Today is Sunday
Let's not talk about business
Come on let's eat up.
This fruit is specially brought over from Japan.
HeIp yourselves.
Let me, you must look after your health.
Thank you.
Take Mrs. Takamura for example,
what's the difference between the children she bore
& the maruts?
What are you talking about?
That's not right!
You can not compare the maruts to the Japanese,
you & I speak a different language.
Please don't say anymore
I 'm sorry, please excuse me.
Ishikawa, wait!
Ishikawa, lshikawa!
Ishikawa. . .
Kawasaki pushed him . . . from upstairs!
He's badly hurt
Iets think of a way to teach Kawasaki a lesson.
I hope you'll work well together.
Yes
Iets think of a way to teach Kawasaki a lesson.
we should . . . obey the regulations.
I think you'd better forget about it.
Don't pretend now,
you have no guts.
Coward. Stop pretending!
"April 1 1 , 1 945 Inoculation of bubonic plague into living victim"
"Victims : Names unknown, 1 5 males and females"
Those goddamned Japs. . . What the hell are they up to?
Hey Specs! What do you think the Japs will do to us?
What did they inject into us this morning?
I have no reaction at all!
I have no idea what it was.
Why didn't those people get it too?
Let's go
Be careful of contamination!
The last accident cost Sakagami & Ohtani their lives
So be careful everyone
First give those people an injection, quick
Sir, according to the previous test results
it would be a rather difficult job to produce a Black Death Virus that is 60 times stronger
Is difficult
Nowthis is the 7th experiment
here is the record for the last fewtests!
Sir, l 've heard the Germans are using the Jews
to perform simiIar kinds of tests
and they've achieved good results
So can't we. . .
Dr. Ishii did 2 years research on this in Europe before the war.
According to him, the German researches into that
area are fare behind ours.
Compared to this, their equipment & facilities are fare behind ours
What they achieved so far may not be of any use for us.
Don't be discouraged, keep up the good work
Report to me at once when the experiments are completed.
Yes sir
I heard that Lt.Colonel Nakatome
died in action on the southern front, is that right?
Dr. Ishii may have been too. . .
We'd better keep out of that
You'd better concentrate on your own career.
The Empire Medical Department is waiting for your return.
The medical future of Japan. . . relies on your people.
"Early summer 1 945 Japanese were retreating from the Pacific Field"
"They also suffered many losses in China"
"The morale of the Japanese troops was very low"
"All of Japan had been mobilized, but there were still great shortages of everything"
"Large deficit of manpower for the Japanese Forces, resulted in more adolescents joining the military"
"The cloud of defeat loomed larger"
This is the present situation
In order words the success and failure of 731
Decides the survival of Japan .
So today. . . . . .
We should have no more illusions about the Kwantung Army.
The Kwantung Army. . . now relies on our bacterial war.
There's no other way of winning it.
I've always thought that biological chemical weapons.
Are more effective than bombers and guns.
Right now we must re-group our forces.
And mobilize them .
I entreat you to work doubly hard.
We must get ourselves well prepared
For the coming bacterial war.
Gentlemen, do you have any questions?
Please go ahead!
We have already successfully produced
A large quantity of virus which is 60 times stronger than the Black Death Virus.
The amount we have
According to our calculations
Has enough power to wipe out the whole of mankind.
At the same time.
We have increased the number
Of bacteria carrying rats to 3 milIion
And jumping fleas to 300 kilos.
The number is estimated at 1 0 billion.
If this 1 0 billion bacteria carrying fleas.
Were all released, then it's not hard to imagine.
The situation on the war front would be changed drastically.
We would gain the final victory!
Because of our bacterial weapons
The fate of the Great Japanese Empire
Lies in our hands.
Still after numerous experiments
The metal shell casings holding the bacteria
Get very hot during firing.
Due to this a great number of fleas inside.
Do get killed .
Therefore the shell's effectiveness is greatly reduced
So these bacterial bombs.
Have failed to produce the expected results.
Engineering! Attend to it.
Anything else?
Sir, there's been a strong reaction to the incident
When Kawasaki assaulted the Youth Corp member
And it's getting to be quite serious.
There's a lot of tension and unrest amongst the Corps.
Transfer Kawasaki from the Youth Corps.
Onoe you'll replace him .
Sir!

You have to help us get one.
Kawasaki ,
If you can help us find a healthy young man,
Then I'll buy you a drink.
Right, we'll all buy you a drink.
Kawaasaki's good at that.
I'm sorry, I can't help you with that.

The preparation's completed sir!
Good!
You've been here a while, are you used to it?
Yes I am sir!
Well that's life in the army!
Do you still see that Chinese mute?
Not often sir!
Do you think you can find him for me?
What for sir?
Sir, l've brought the mute.
Thank you, welI done.
Come
Don't be afraid !
Come
Let him in.
Yes sir.
Come here
Come inside.
You wait here lshikawa.
When the surgery is finished
You can take him away.
Surgery? What surgery?
No questions!
Keep your nose out of these things.
Yes sir.

Come here!
Go on!
This boy looks good
Come here!
Not bad.
Where are you going?
You have to take him away after the surgery, quick!
Yes sir!
Are you satisfied now?
Yes!
You have the heart
And the liver
And the brain that you wanted!
Yes

Come here
Come
That mute was not a marut.
That animal has gone too far!
Yeah, l've always detested him.
Let's find a way to fix him.
What'd you think?
I'll kill him
Leave him to me!
No! We're all in this together.
Yes, we're all in this!
Hurry it up.
Ready for disinfection!
What're you doing here? Get back!
A rat can beat a cat.
Fleas & germs can defeat bombers and guns too!
This is. . . the theory behind 731 squadron.
It is also my philosophy.
For victory
We shall groom the strongest and nurture them.
The same applies to the Youth Corps.
Understand?
Yes sir!
Stone, stone!
Stone
Wait!
You must get out of here alive!
No matter what happens
We must get the evidence out!
Stone, quick!
ReIease him!
Get in the hole you bastard!
Stone won't follow a coward like you. . .
Stone won't go into anything blindly with you
The door is open!
Stone, quick!
Fire!

Fire!
Idiots!
So many maruts are dead
This is a serious matter.
Do you realize you job
Is to keep them in good shape
So they can live longer.
But you neglected your duties
With very serious consequences.
Your error is intolerable
And unforgivable.
Maruts are precious experimental material.
They mean more to us now than ever.
You have no rights to kill them.
The Russo-Japanese war is coming.
But many of our experiments.
Have not been completed yet.
The 731 Squadron is our nation's hope.
We hold the power to turn the war in our favour and save Japan.
Get up now!
I hope you won't forget.
That I was the one who brought you here from Chiba.
You are the heart of 731 .
Takamura at An Da Rural Experimental Station.
Is preparing for the final pottery shell tests.
Have the maruts gone yet?
They left early this morning sir.
Specs said , that what you did was stupid.
We can't get out of here anyway.
The more we resist, the faster we get killed .
He said the only thing we can do is to try &
get the evidence out.
So the world will know about this hell hole.
That is the only way to take revenge.
Dr. Ishii, we're running out of time
The situation at the front is not good.
Looks like this is the final straw for us.
The trip to Feng Tian.
Is very important, don't worry about things here.
Thank you, I reIy on you.
Report sir!
Inform the air corps to take off now!
Preparations are complete at the shell test site.
The system is down. . . we haven't contacted them yet.
Right. . .
Let's go to the upper.
Yes sir
Fire the signal!
Let's move!
Yes sir
We need the maruts urgently.
Are they on their way or not!
Sir!
Excuse me sir, urgent telegram.
You may go.
Sir!
August 9th. Makasaki was bombed .
The Russians have officially declared war.
Manchuria 731 Sqdn. Retreat if necessary.
Go to Feng Tian get the commander here.
Yes sir!
Stop the delivery of maruts.

HeIlo! Airport.
Sir! The maruts have escaped.
Go after them, don't let them get away.
Get in the car quick! After the way.
Run
Run, split out! Quick!

I know
Run, quick!

Quickly, run!
"Augest 1 945, Porcelain Bacterial Bomb Experiment Victims : Names unknown, 35 males"
Cover him!
Put him down here.
Sorry to disturb you .
Yes sir
Urgent telegram sir!
Yes sir
Nakasaki was bombed.
The Russians have officially declared war.
The Kwangtung Army HQ.
Order all troops to retreat if necessary.
Are you going back sir?
The Russians have declared war?
All troops to retreat?
What do we do sir?
Gentlemen
Hiroshima and Nakasaki have been bombed by the Americans.
The cities have been completely destroyed .
Now the Russians have declared war on us.
Our fate has been sealed.
We've received orders to retreat.
But I personally think
That the work of the 731 Sqdn.
Involves top security information.
So I'm now requesting the following
1 ) Exterminate all remaining maruts
And destroy this whole facility.
The engineers will be in charge of that
The place must be flattened, I want no traces left.
2) Collect all data and documents
Destroy them at once.
3) The Youth corps is to retreat to Tung Hwa
4) All units will commit suicide.
5) Their families and dependants
Are also to commit suicide.
In other words all evidence must be destroyed.
Dr. Ishii
Our squadron has a lot of highly qualified people
Isn't it a waste to order them to die?
We shouldn't allow such meaningless sacrifices.
I realize that too Gen . Kikuchi
But we have to guard the secret of this place.
Dr. Ishii, if. . .
You commit suicide, then I'll join you.
These soldiers & their families have followed you
From Japan to Manchuria.
You should at least
Get them back home.
Isn't that reasonable?
As the head of 731
You're responsible for them.
You should be protecting them .
Not ordering them to die!
I hope you'll face up.
To your responsibilities.
Gen. Kikuchi is right.
We should return to our home land
And we should take all the data with us.
Your point is valid.
But we must still prepare for the possibility of being captured.
No matter what
We can't allow these secrets to be made known.
How about this?
We issue each one with a bottle of cyanide.
If anyone's captured, then they
Commit suicide.
OK then
That's what we'll do!
I will bring up the rear.
And arrange for transport.
I'm very happy you've made this decision
I'm sure everybody's grateful to you .
What are you doing?
These are our children's clothes!
the data is important.
Anyone home?
Please take this with you madame!
It's the commander's orders.
You must take it if you are captured .
Mr. Takamura prepared them .
Where are you going at this time?
To get more data!
The war's over and we're going home!
What's the point in taking data back with you?
Shut up! What do you know!
I don't care about anything else
All I know is that we can go home!
You're a woman you know nothing!
Yes I may know nothing.
And I certainly don't know how to make poison!
How dare you speak to me like that!
Takamura! Takamura!
This is important data
We cannot destroy it!
Anyone tries to burn anymore. . .
Takamura! I just want to go home!
I ask nothing else from you!
I just want us to go back to Japan!
That is all l want, Takamura!
Don't burn it or I'll kill you, l mean it!
Burn it! Burn it all!
Sir. . .
Takamura! This is an order, burn it all!
I don't want a single piece left.
Sir. . .
You can't destroy this data!
This is the whole reason for our being here!
It represents years of hard work!
We've sacrificed a great deal for this research.
And Japan will need it one day!
If you want to destroy it kill me first!
Thank you sir!
Poison gas! Retreat! Quick!
Hasegawa, Miki , come up quick!
Miki, go up!
Hurry up!
It's platinum, it's worth a lot of money.
Hurry up!

Quick, retreat!
Retreat!
Come on, let's go, quick!

I'm sorry
Quick!
Don't run!
HoId on madame!
Madame!
HoId on!
Sir, Mrs. Takamura is going into labour!
Can she get in the car?
Dr. Ishii's personal data are in the car
She can't!
Sir, we're leaving in 5 minutes.
Do you want to check the squadron again?
Aalright
Salute!
Gentlemen! This is just a change in strategy.
The Great Japanese Empire.
Has still not been defeated.
Our base has been destroyed
But our careers will continue.
Now you're all going back to Japan.
I trust you will safe guard the secrets of this base.
And always remember this
No contact is allowed between squadron members
And under no circumstances will you reveal the nature of your work here.
You are disbarred from taking up government posts.
