In the prison yard, men play ping-pong. The Governor walks through to the garden and confronts Pu Yi and asks him why he's signed all the confessions against him suddenly. He doesn't understand why he broke so easily. Pu Yi says he just wants to be left alone.
ICONIC QUOTE:
"Perhaps you think we're here to teach men to lie in a new way? Why did you sign every accusation made against you? I didn't stop you from killing yourself to see you like this! Someone who will sign anything to please his enemies... to please me! You knew about a lot of things in Manchukuo... even the secret agreements. But you couldn't possibly have known about the Japanese biological warfare experiments in Harbin! Could you? So why did you sign these papers?"
"I was responsible for everything."
"You are responsible for what you do! All your life you thought you were better than everyone else. Now you think you're the worst of all!"
"Why can you not leave me alone? You saved my life to make me a puppet in your own play. You saved me because I am useful to you."
"Is that so terrible? To be useful?"
(The Governor, Pu Yi)
