Kaji:
[discussing the pardoning of prisoners due to be executed for an alleged escape attempt]
I'll be honest. There's only one chance in one hundred.
Kyôritsu Ô:
This does not concern us alone. Just as my companions stand between life and death, so do you now stand at an important crossroads.
Kaji:
You're right.
Kyôritsu Ô:
If you fail now, no one will ever trust you again, and you too will lose faith in yourself.
Kaji:
It's true.
Kyôritsu Ô:
Yet you would do nothing?
Kaji:
What can I do?
Kyôritsu Ô:
Must a man outside this barbed wire ask me such a question? Not all the Japanese working here are murderous devils. Their combined opinion objecting to this execution will be more effective than one individual alone.
Kaji:
If I'd always acted as you wanted me to there'd be no Kaji here today. I'd like to see what you'd do in my position.
Kyôritsu Ô:
You and I will both make minor mistakes. Such things can be forgiven. But an error made at a crucial moment is an unforgivable crime. Your life has been a series of errors stemming from the conflict between your work and yourself. Such errors can possibly be corrected. But this one cannot.
Kaji:
Meaning?
Kyôritsu Ô:
You'll either be revealed as a murderer wearing the mask of humanism or as one worthy of the beautiful name... "man".
