Sorry.
Your first time?
Come here.
Please take off your clothes.
My name is Kadokawa.
Sergeant,

I'm going to marry that woman.
Sergeant,
I got venereal disease here.
Did you get venereal disease in your brain?
Friend.
In Japanese, "friend" is "tomodachi."
I am a civilian.
You say it.
I am a civilian.

I am a civilian.
Very good.
My dear, you say it.
Three of a kind.

Do you speak Japanese?
Yes, a little.
What do you do?
Mr. Rabe's secretary.
How many children were raped here tonight?
Six, sir.
From tomorrow on,
you and May must wear men's clothes.
Wipe off your nail polish.
Lipstick.
Hair.
Miss Jiang, come.
Look. These three girls, especially her.
Why you refused to cut your hair?
Why didn't you?
You even have permed hair.
We are from the Committee.
The Japanese won't hurt us.
To have you cut your hair is to protect you.
Don't be so stubborn.
I won't cut it.
I need it to feed myself when the war is over.
You want to go back to the streets?
So what if I earn my own living?
You can't even if you want to.
How dare you?
You must cut it.
Take them over there.
Go.
That's a good idea.
You are smart.
Don't scare them.
Don't be afraid.
Look.
Come.
The Japanese are coming.
Go hide inside.
Hello.
It's congee.
Look.
A pretty girl.
Very cute.
Your type.
You kids, go play.
Let's get the flags.
What are you doing?
Here they come.
Go. Run.
Get out.
Please, let my daughter go.
They fell for the trap.
Don't touch her.
She's dead.
Xiaojiang.
Happy New Year.

Sorry.
Please go ahead.
I'm... -
Kadokawa.
Please.
Mr. Kadokawa.
Yes.
Finished?
Don't dance like that. Do it gently.
Look, I'll show you.
Is it like this?
Hey, wait.
Friend.
I don't smoke.
Try it.
Friend.
Good?
Look.
Japanese tobacco.
I don't smoke.
Take it.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Thank you, Mr. Tang.
Mr. Tang.
Two Japanese came for you with your name card.
OK.
Do you remember I wrote to the Fhrer?
Yes.
I've been told... -
Yes.
I've been ordered to return to Germany at once.
They say that my activities
to protect the refugees in Nanking
So?
So?
So I have no choice.
I must return to Germany.
Mr. Rabe,
what about me?
What about my wife and daughter?
They 're still living in the camp.
We all depend on you.
I'm so sorry.
Mr. Rabe will abandon us?
Now can he do that?
You literally built his business.
He just says bye and walks off.
What shall we do?
The Japanese
have come for me.
Where are you going?
What are you doing?
I'll work it out.
In case you need to bribe a Japanese.
Give it back to me when you come back.
Please.
Drive the refugees out of the
safety zone. Reestablish order.
Set up the Comfort Stations quickly.
The soldiers are getting unruly.
Mr. Tomita,
this is Mr Tang,
Mr Rabe's secretary.
Welcome.
Remember our oaths at the grassy bridge.
Together we have studied three long years.
Kitty, come here.
With each other we are deeply in love.
This heart of mine has long been yours to keep.
Hold out your hands.
Here.
That's good.
Miss Jiang.
Remember you discovered my earring holes.
That is to say
there are still Chinese soldiers
in the Safely Zone?
Yes. Most are injured.
Thanks, Mr Tang.
You've helped a lot.
Thank you.
Now we are real friends indeed.
Friend.
Don't move.
Don't fight back.
Freeze.
They have guns.
Hurry.
Faster.
Hurry.
Block the front.
Stop.
This is my room.
I am an American.
Get out of here.
Go inside.
Get the woman out of here.
Go away.
Shut up.
What do you want?
The Imperial Army wants to inspect this room.
Please open the door.
Is it a Chinese animal?
Yes.
I have seen it before.
Yours?
I study in church school.
Give me?
Thank you.
So many people.
Friend.
Friend.
Don't be afraid.
Don't be nervous.
The Imperial Army is actually here
to borrow a few women
to entertain them.
They will be returned in three days.
That's not right.
Women can't be borrowed.
Who are you?
Mr. Rabe's secretary.
He's Mr Rabe's secretary.
Get out of my way.
We are partners.
That's my wife and her sister.
You must keep your promise.
Mr. Tang.
Don't pull me.
Mommy.
Mr. Tang.
Sister.
He went to the Safety Zone.
He saw women with curly hair
and eyebrows lipsticks.
He knew they were prostitutes.
In Japan,
any women with curly hair and
lipstick are prostitutes?
She asked if any women in Japan with
curly hair and lipstick are prostitutes.
And if we refuse?
If you refuse
they will send troops to destroy
the Safety Zone.
It only took three days to conquer Nanking.
It won't take an hour to destroy here.
You know their power.
You have no choice.
China lost the war.
Nanking is no more the capital.
Your people told him that there
are soldiers with weapons.
That's a very big problem.
Today,
one hundred of you
will be leaving us.
I'm so sorry.
Today,
one hundred women will be leaving us.
The Japanese have threatened us that
if we don't hand over... -
hand over one hundred women,
they will destroy the refugee camp.
The women will be required to... -
they will be required to give
comfort to Japanese soldiers.
All Nanking women are here.
Great.
The Japanese said,
you would be returned in three weeks.
In return of your sacrifice,
they will supply the camp
with food, clothes and coal for the winter.
That means
our children will make it through the winter.
I am so sorry.
Mr. Rabe.
I'll go.
Please come to the front.
I'll go.
I'll go.
That's enough.
Senior soldiers shall have priority.
Pay first before getting a condom
to prevent VD infection.
Each person shall have 15 minutes.
Rice?
Give me a smile.
Smile.
Smile.
Yuriko, why are you here?
Sorry.
Kadokawa.
Kadokawa.
Are you finished?
Thank you.
You are too noisy.
But it feels good.
Sir, the food supply report.
Let's talk about it tomorrow.
Mr. Tomita, the pass... -
Not now.
You just need to sign it.
Is it Mr. Tomita?
We've finally arrived.
Was it a rough trip?
How can we visit Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum?
Come.
Could we have a car?
Sure.
He will organize it.
This is Mr. Tang's sister-in-law.
She also was taken.
We must... Please help us find her.
Mr. Tang's daughter was killed yesterday.
I'm very sorry.
I call you.
You answer me.
Sounds like echoes from the valley.
So happy.
You.
What?
The sky is so blue.
Two young people.
Kadokawa.
She was so beautiful.
She's better off dead than living like this.
I want to go back to Japan.
Have you found May?
May hasn't returned.
Mr. Rabe.
Mr. Rabe, you can't leave.
Goodbye, my friends.
Take care.
Mr. Rabe, your luggage.
Your car can't go beyond this place.
Take their luggage down.
We have someone move the luggage for you.
Of course.
Please can you get both my assistants through?
I'll try.
Please.
Long time no see.
How are you?
Your wife is very beautiful.
Mr. Rabe may only take one assistant
and a family member with him.
I know.
Go.
I'll stay.
I'll look for May.
Go back.
Mr. Rabe can only take one assistant.
What are you doing?
It's good to live.
I'll stay. Let him go.
He says,
he has made his decision.
Go.
Don't worry.
I'll keep on sending you my salary on time.
Stay safe. I'll wait for you.
Please take care of my wife.
Halt.
Turn right.

Everyone dies in the end.
This is a beautiful place.

Fall out.
All woman and children over here.
Woman and children stand over here.
Women get over here.
You too.
Listen carefully.
If you're a Chinese soldier,
quickly step forward.

Please talk to the commander.
Just talk with him.
Let the foreigners come forward.
You are Chinese.
Don't push.
Miss Vautrin will work out a solution.
Don't worry.
They won't let them go.
We would not be afraid of the enemies.
I am not afraid.
We are strong.
Could you give them a moment?
Sir, we ask you to listen to
the pleas of these women,
for their husbands, their sons.
They are civilians.
My staff member is on that truck.
He is not a soldier.
Please release them.
Mizukami, Furuta.
Miss Jiang.
Good news.
Those with family can go get them.
Understood.
But each one can save just one.
Just one.
Listen to me.
If your family is on those trucks,
you can go and bring them back.
Miss Jiang.
Now go and bring them back.
Aren't there too many?
Miss Jiang, save me.
