1:23:01
of Japanese prisoners
fell into your hands...
1:23:03
in the closing days
of the war.
1:23:06
You understand that
the Japanese authorities...
1:23:07
and my own superiors as well are
pressing me for an accounting.
1:23:13
Ah, we have some small numbers of
enemy troops in our hands, that is true.
1:23:16
But I can assure that in
this matter, as you know,
1:23:20
my government will abide by the
decisions of the Potsdam Conference.
1:23:24
Yes. When will they
be repatriated?
1:23:27
Soon.
1:23:28
In that connection,
my government is making plans...
1:23:32
for the occupation
of Hokkaido Island.
1:23:35
Hokkaido Island is occupied.
It is under my command.
1:23:40
The Soviet Union
is a coequal ally.
1:23:43
It is my government's
intention...
1:23:45
to occupy Hokkaido
on its own behalf.
1:23:50
As the supreme commander,
I represent all Allied powers.
1:23:55
We are fully prepared to commence
our rightful occupation...
1:23:59
whether you permit or not.
1:24:01
You see, the terms of
my command are absolute.
1:24:05
This is not Germany.
1:24:07
I will not countenance separate
spheres of influence or occupation...
1:24:12
of the home islands of Japan
as long as I'm in command.
1:24:17
Well, then, sir,
my government...
1:24:20
will insist upon
a new supreme commander.
1:24:24
If the day comes
when Soviet troops...
1:24:27
attempt to land on Japanese soil
without my expressed consent...
1:24:33
I will throw the entire Soviet
delegation in Tokyo into jail.
1:24:38
Including you...
1:24:40
General Derevyanko.
1:24:44
I believe you would.
1:24:46
And I believe
this is where you get off.
1:24:59
As the historic
changes continue to transform Japanese life...
