[Kido talks to his son over why he still didn't appear for the job interview and the incident he caused at the Yakuza club]
There will be no report. The incident will be forgotten, but it cannot happen again.
I can't forget. I can't forget what I've done.
What? What have you done?
What my unit did in Manchuria. To the villagers.
It was war. It is in the past.
I can still hear their voices.
You did those things for your country. You have no reason to be ashamed.
It is not shame that I feel. Something more than shame.
We must look forward now, and draw our strength from the Empire.
The Empire. The Empire is not strong. The Empire is losing.
Losing?
In China. The TV says we are winning there, but it is a lie.
Enough.
We believe what we're told. We don't ask questions. I was not a soldier. You are not a detective. We are both puppets.
I will not be spoken to this way. We are bound to our duty.
Duty? And what of your duty to your family? You left us. [as the elder Kido manhandles him out of the room over what he just said] No, NO!
Get out of this house. Stand up. You are not my son. [Toru leaves]
