02x14 - The Last Kamikaze

[bunniefuu]

PILOT: Mayday! Mayday!
Mayday!

This is Turner Air Lines Flight 367.
Mayday!

CONTROLLER: This is
Clark Air Force Base, Flight 367.

State your problem and position.

PILOT: Number one engine is out.

Second engine's losing oil.

Position is 17 degrees North
by 135 degrees East.

We're headed down toward
an island, dense jungle...

losing altitude fast, can't control it,
landing gear seems stuck...

[END OF TRANSMISSION]

Mr. Goldman, that jet
has got to be found... now!

I wouldn't hold out too much hope
for the passengers or the crew.

It's not just the men.

Hm?

You're aware of the proposal our company
made to the military last year?

OSCAR: Peregrine b*mb.

Yes, you people say you can reduce
the size of this tactical nuclear m*ssile...

by 75 percent?

Our people are checking
your specs now.

HAYWORTH:
This is just a mock up.

Last month we completed a working
prototype of Peregrine
...

at our South Pacific Lab.

It was aboard that plane.

You can't fly atomic weapons anywhere
without government approval...

and you know it!

It was ill*gal, but it's done.

And now something's gotta be
done to get that m*ssile back.

It could go off on impact.

A small expl*si*n or the
intense heat of a fire could...

Well, it's capable of blowing
that entire island off the map.

And besides, there's the danger
of it falling into the wrong hands.

[EXOTIC ANIMAL SOUNDS]

FLIGHT COM:
It looks good at NASA One.

B- 52 ]PILOT:
Roger.

BCS Arm switch is on.

FLIGHT COM:
Okay, Victor.

B-52 PILOT:
Landing Rocket Arm switch is on.
Here comes the throttle.

Circuit breakers in.

STEVE:
We have separation.

B-52 PILOT:
Inboard and outboards are on.

I'm comin' forward with the side stick.

FLIGHT COM: Looks good.

PILOT:
Ah, Roger.

STEVE:
I've got a blowout in damper three.

SR-71 PILOT:
Get your pitch to zero.

STEVE:
Pitch is out. I can't hold altitude!

B-52 PILOT: Correction. Alpha Hold is oil“.
Threat selector is emergency.

STEVE: Flight Com. I can't hold it!
She's breaking up! She's breaking...

ANNOUNCER:
Steve Austin. Astronaut.

A man barely alive.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him.

We have the technology.

We have the capability
to make the world's first bionic man.

Steve Austin will be that man.

Better than he was before.

Better, stronger, faster.

[MAIN TITLE THEME]

[MILITARY MUSIC]

OSCAR: There are hundreds
of Japanese soldiers like this...

that you'll find on these Pacific Islands...

many of whom still believe that
World w*r II is going on.

Outcasts, forgotten men.

OSCAR:
It's the only explanation, Steve.

A soldier like that...

must've been the one that took the b*mb
from the downed ship.

You know what happened
when I sent some agents in?

They were attacked
as they approached the crash.

It's pretty strange that he
would've taken the warhead.

That's what we thought.

But the survivor of that plane crash...

said that he saw a wild man
in a Japanese uniform...

take the warhead from the plane.

Yeah, but the survivor was injured...
he was in shock.

He said that he saw a Japanese soldier.
He insists upon it.

Surely there's no way
the warhead can be detonated.

Ordinarily you'd be right,
but this b*mb is a prototype.

A fire could set it off.

An expl*si*n could trigger it.

You know, Oscar, we lost a warhead
off the coast of Spain a couple of years ago.

Now the military was all over
the place until they came up with it.

Why haven't they combed this island?

That b*mb fell
in international water, Steve.

This b*mb fell in another
country's territory.

Hmm.

What are you going to do
to the company...

that was illegally shipping
the nuclear warhead?

I'm gonna turn the matter over
to the Attorney General's office...

after you find the b*mb.

What makes you think I can find it?

Here is a mock up of the
warhead that you'll be looking for.

Even though our
government didn't build it...

we're responsible for it
if it goes off.

Every moment that it's out
of our hands the risk gets greater.

So you've got to find it.

That sounds easy if you could say it fast.

I can help you with a guide.

His father was one of the most famous
Phillippino scouts during the w*r.

They tell me he's
some kind of a hothead...

but he knows the area you'll
be in better than anyone...

and he also knows the Japanese.

Does he know about the warhead?

All he knows is he's supposed
to find a Japanese soldier.

Now I've got a tanker offshore waiting.

When you want to come out,
we'll fly in a helicopter.

This soldier may be crazy
as well as dangerous.

My name is Tomas Francisco Gabella.

I'm at your service, Colonel Austin.

Well, it's a pleasure.

Looks like we're well equipped.

It's what we need for the jungle.

We'll parachute it down with us,
then carry it in.

How often have you done this?

I've stopped counting the number
of Japanese I've gone after.

The Old Devil's something else.

The Old Devil?

That's what the island people call him.

And I'm surprised America would
let the famous Colonel Austin...

go looking for a common w*r criminal.

Well, there are some important
people in the United States...

who'd like to see him
returned to Japan safely.

Besides, we're not
at w*r anymore.

You tell that to the Old Devil.

Well, I'm going to try,
if you'll translate.

I was raised during the w*r,
Colonel.

If I hadn't learned Japanese,
I wouldn't be alive now.

]PILOT: Prepare for takeoff, gentlemen.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

Your r*fle, Colonel.

Oh, no, thanks.

You carry one.
That'll be enough.

As you wish, Colonel.

PILOT: We're approaching
the jump site, gentlemen.

Prepare to jump.



[BUZZES]

[BEEPS]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Let's go.

[WOOD CREAKING]

You moved that
like it didn't take any effort.

Huh? Oh, I used to do a lot of
weightlifting in college.

Give me your chute.

Which way from here?

That's Ryukan mountain.

We'll head off
to the right of it.

Any particular reason?

It's places like that, the valleys...

found a lot of them
hiding on other islands.

Well, that's good enough for me.

Let's find our equipment chute
and pick up the rest of our gear.

It should be right over there.

Give me a hand with this.

[WOOD CREAKING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Don't let this terrain
deceive you, Colonel.

Death can come very
quickly in this jungle.

You know, I can see how hard
it would be the find a man in here.

Yeah. During the w*r,
they would lay in wait for us...

just behind that rock or that tree.

We cut a trail to hunt for them.

It'd be overgrown in one night...

so we'd go for days and weeks,
never see one of them.

Is that your way of saying
we won't find our man?

If we find him,
it'll be because he wants us to.

You'll want a r*fle
when that happens.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

Told you!

[BIONIC EYE SOUND EFFECT]

Save your ammunition!

Up in that tree.

It's a booby trap.

We must have hit
a trip wire on the trail.

At least we know
we're in the right area.

Watch where you put
your foot down from here on in.

Hold it.

Look.

Get your head down.

Well, that thing would put a lot of
holes in a man, you know?

Don't get scratched.

Bamboo smeared with dung.

If spears don't k*ll you,
infection will.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

[BIONIC EYE SOUND EFFECT]

Your feet! Look out!

[RUSTLING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Miguel? Miguel, can you hear me?

Miguel, can you read me?

Gabella, this is Miguel.

What's happened?

The American, he had an accident.

He's dead.

Are you sure?

Of course, I'm sure.
Had no pulse.

And the Japanese?

He's in the area.

I can smell him.

If we move fast, we can find him...

and the atomic weapon.

[BELLS JINGLE]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

I'm sorry, sir.
No word from Colonel Austin.

Are you sure you're on
the right frequency?

Yes sir, the right frequency,
there's just nothing out there.

[JAPANESE FLUTE MUSIC]

[PLAYING FLUTE]

KURODA [JAPANESE]:
Mate!

Sokoni iro!

Omae wa oreno horyo da!

Namae wa? Kaikyu wa?
g*n no mokuteki wa?

Nihongo wo hanase!

I don't speak Japanese.

Baka ni sumna!

Wish I knew what you're
saying, my friend...

but I lost my translator
somewhere along the way.

Your name! What?

Austin. Steve Austin.

What your rank?
Military object?

I'm not attached to the military.

Lie!

Yours!

You wear uniform
from American military!

I'm not on a military mission.

The w*r is over.

It's been over for 30 years.

If over, Japan have this island.

I would know it!

Ugoku na!

I'm just getting up to where
I can talk to you face to face.

Your rank.

Colonel.

What I've told you's the truth.

The United States
and Japan are at peace.

Never! You try make us nothing.

You cut off ships
that bring our feed, our oil.

But the Emperor never
make peace with you!

I'm afraid your Emperor
didn't have much choice.

It's not easy for me to tell you this.

The United States
invented an atomic b*mb...

the powerful b*mb that could destroy
a whole city with one expl*si*n.

At the time it seemed the best way
to stop the w*r was...

to drop the atomic b*mb
on two Japanese cities.

I wish it wasn't true.

Most Americans wish
it never happened.

But it did.

Two Japanese cities
were completely destroyed.

Many, many people were k*lled.

Your Emperor saw
the wisdom of surrender.

The fighting stopped...

September, 1945...
almost 30 years ago.

Uso da!

No b*mb destroy Japan cities!
Japan not surrender!

Your Emperor chose life
for the Japanese people.

Peace.

You insult me.

This information to make me surrender!

Lies! Lies!

Japan fight for 100 years...
for 1,000!

You have military objective.

I let you live only to find it out.

[MELANCHOLY MUSIC]

[EXOTIC ANIMAL NOISES]

[TRADITIONAL JAPANESE MUSIC]

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

It's another American invention.

It's a camera.

It gives you a photograph
as soon as you snap the shutter.

Another lie.

Try it.

Drink.

More?

No.

Men from your army
come looking for you soon.

We move deeper into jungle.

If your army try to capture us,
we both die...

ifl push down on this plunger.

Kamikaze not fear death
for he takes his enemy with him.

You were a kamikaze pilot.



When I join kamikaze...

my mother went into the streets
and ask people who pass by...

to put one knot.

I've heard of it.

One knot, one prayer.


with you until you die.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

What word this?

Peregrine.

Its a falcon a hunting bird.

My father hunted with birds like this.

I helped him train them.

When I saw this falcon bird,
I had to have it.

Heavy.

More heavy than birds.

Hunting bird fly high...

bring back squirrel...

sometimes small rabbit.

What inside this hunting bird?

We move now.

Move! Get up!

Austin was here and now he's gone.

MIGUEL: You said he was dead.

If he is alive, he's in no shape
to do anything but slow them.

They'll be easy to track.
Come on!

I don't want to lose
that warhead to Austin.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Mate!

There.

[BIONIC EYE SOUND EFFECT]

STEVE: Mine?

Mm.

You know, I don't know how
you can stay in hiding for so long...

without questioning what
might have happened.

Chikusho!

[AIMS r*fle]

My family Samurai...

fighting men.

My grandfather's father was Samurai...

and all their fathers before them.

They fought for their masters...

without questioning
for hundreds of years.

The Bushido demands honor and duty...

not questions.

The Samurai warrior is gone.

They disappeared from Japan


The way of the Samurai not dead.

It lived when I was 15 years old
became kamikaze pilot.

It lives as long as Japan lives.

Japan has changed.
The world has changed.

Spirit never change!

Get up! We go!

Agh...

You're bleeding again.

Maybe you die first.

Go!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[g*ns FIRING]

GABELLA: Colonel Austin!

Take it easy, Tomas.

Don't come too close,
my friend is armed.

GABELLA:
Sorry, Colonel Austin.

I don't take your orders anymore.

I don't get it.

GABELLA: You can make it out
with your life if you don't interfere.

I want the nuclear b*mb.

No deal, Tomas!

GABELLA: America no hikoki
kara nusunda mono wo kaese!

Bakayaro!
Stay here!

[ROPE CREAKING]

Let's go.

[ROPE CREAKING]

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

Look out!

[g*n FIRES]

[BIONIC SOUND EFFECT]

[g*n FIRES]

We go!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Miguel, do you read me?

[RADIO STATIC]

Miguel! Do you read me!

Go ahead, this is Miguel.

Miguel, do you see them?

No, no sign of them.

We lost them.

We'd better double back.

Okay.

[UPLIFTING MUSIC]

We rest.

Thanks.

You broke ties around your wrists.

How?

I pulled hard, they broke.

You came for weapon... like them.

That's right.

Look, if an expl*si*n went off near that
warhead, it could destroy this whole island.

More lies, that b*mb you say
destroyed cities in Japan?

No, that's the truth.

The government sent me
here to find that warhead...

take it to a place where
they can store it safely.

You were offered your freedom back there...

and instead you saved me. Why?

I don't want you to die.

But, I, your enemy.

We don't have to be enemies.

What?

I said...

We are enemies!

You need it more.
Carry it.

We go... that way.

PILOT: Blue Lion.
This is your Cub.

RADIO OPERATOR: Roger, Cub.
This is Blue Lion.

Go ahead.

I've flown a grid pattern
over the island for three hours.

There's no sign of anything down there
except rocks and jungle.

Keep looking until the
last possible moment.

Roger, Blue Lion. Cub out.

That plane that crashed...

did you notice it didn't have
propeller engines, but jet engines.

Besides jet engines,
we have rocket engines.

These rockets are so powerful
that they fly men through space...

all the way to the moon.

[LAUGHS]

Look, I've been out there.

I've stood on the moon and
looked back at the earth.

You... fly through space to the moon?

Yes.

And you walk on moon?

Look, I know it's a little hard
for you to believe.

You biggest liar on earth!
That what I believe!

Move!

[BIONIC EYE SOUND EFFECT]

[BIONIC SOUND EFFECT]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[DEVICE BEEPING]

[GROANS]

No man can move
so fast as you moved.

I'll explain after we
get this b*mb out of here.

First I gotta prove something
that I told you was the truth.

[CAMERA CLICKS]

Color picture... with my face?

That not me.

You know, this camera is just
one of the many inventions...

that's happened since
the w*r's been over.

Now I want you to lead me back
to where that plane crashed.

You'll k*ll me?

No, I won't k*ll you.

We're both gonna get out of this alive...

if! have to tie you up and
carry you out an inch at a time...

but I won't k*ll you.

Come on.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Now I know Austin had
something to do with this.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

It soon dark.

I have underground shelter nearby.

Well, we'll rest here for a while.

You'll make a mistake and die.

And you'll win?

I cannot lose. I have nothing.

You might still have family
in Japan... friends.

Family... friends...
all dead to me.

I am dead to them.

I had hoped that my enemies
would have k*lled me.

There is dishonor in living
beyond one's moment.

Stop! Come back here!

sh**t me!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Before you die, you tell me the cities
that were destroyed by the bombs.

What were they?

Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I hope your family
didn't live there.

I am sorry to k*ll you.

You have a strange honor...
almost Japanese.

But you are the enemy, so...

[BIONIC LEG BEEPING]

Omae wa bakemono ka?!

[BIONIC LEG BEEPING]

Kuroda, give me a hand out of here.

Put arm down!

What kind of a devil are you?

I'm a man... just like you.

You've seen me bleed
the same way.

There is no blood in that leg.

No, there's not.

I had an accident...

and they put me back
together again.

This leg is like a machine.

That's how far we've progressed.

It's real!

It's just like that atomic warhead...

that jet and the camera and all
the other things I've told you about.

We're at peace.

Lie! It's all a trick
to make me surrender!

Your life for truth, Colonel.

I can't undo history,
even for my own life.

I cannot go back.

Why not?

You must understand.

When I left Japan, they clipped
my hair and nails for my funeral.

I was dead to the w*r.

I cannot outlive it.

There is great shame for me.

What is the shame?

You are not Japanese.

You do not understand.

After the w*r, there were many men
thought dead, came back to their families.

There was no shame,
only tears...

tears of joy.

I must k*ll myself.

GABELLA: He's right, Colonel Austin.

He must die.

I watched your people die by the thousands
when they knew they were defeated.

You will die that way in defeat.

You don't get an honorable death now.

For my relatives who died
in your prison camps...

I'll enjoy k*lling you!

What about the warhead?

You Americans can make
all the warheads you want.

We're poor.

If we keep this one,
we can ask for all we want...

and America will pay it.

Don't be a fool, you'll never
get it off this island.

You're in no position
to do anything, Colonel...

except what we tell you!

Miguel, pick up the pack, there.

I destroy it first!

[g*n SHOT]

[BIONIC SOUND EFFECT]

[GROANS]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Blue Lion, this is Cub.

Go ahead, Cub.

It may be nothing, but there was a flash
of light below me... like an expl*si*n.

What's your position?

Roger, Blue Lion,
I made it out to be 17.6 by 135.9.

Good.

OSCAR: Get on it right away.

PILOT: Roger, Blue Lion.

I heard expl*si*n.

I thought you dead.

Not this time.

I am glad.

I have respect for you.

It is fitting that you watch me now.

You have no right to take your life now!

I have no right to live
in dishonor all these years.

I must confess.

When I made last flight,
I was pilot...

but before diving...

I hesitate...

miss the ship.

My fault.

A lot of your pilots missed.

There's no shame in that.

We were not to live
with our plane gone.

My navigator, Aoki,
did what was right.

He committed...

Seppuku, Hara Kiri.

And you couldn't, so that makes
you a coward, is that it?

He earned his way to heaven.

But when I saw him die,
I could not do it.

How old were you?



Age does not matter.

A man who has died in his heart...

does not run away from real death.

That is the way of the Bushido.

The Bushido tells a man that
he must Show mercy, doesn't it?

That includes compassion
for oneself.

Too late.

Kamikaze meant "divine wind."

I am like the last wind of the day.

The midnight wind.

Kamikaze ni okure wo torishi

ware naredo hatete tamoran

masukao no na wo.

You have shown that
you know how to die.

For the sake of your enemy,
Show me that you know how to live.

[HELICOPTER HOVERING]

[UPLIFTING MUSIC]

The head's okay, huh?
Fine.

How's the leg?
It'll hold until we get back to the lab.

I got the word on Gabella and his men.

They're gonna be tried
for attempting to k*ll you.

What about the company that
tried to transport the warhead?

The Attorney General is
preparing a case against them.

I'll be here when you need me.

Okay.

Well, how are you feeling?

I owe you my life... twice over.

I realize I will spend it in prison
for all the years I continue to fight.

You won't go to prison.

You see, since you were never
officially ordered to surrender...

you won't be held responsible
for acting like the w*r was still on.

You're going home.

Home?

My mother my brother...

if they still live...

how will they greet me?

You'll soon see.

I have a gift.

I hope you will accept.

But Kuroda, I can't take
your 1,000-stitch belt.

That represents your life.

It's the only thing left I value.

Please accept.

This calls for something in return.

You already did so much for me.

It's okay for friends
to give each other gifts.

But I...

Please.

Come in, please.
