[villager 1 pants]
[villager 1] I'm hungry.
[villager 2] If it's this cold,
a lot of people will die this winter.
[villager 1] If a blizzard comes,
we can't pick any more food.
We should hurry.
To think we have to go this deep
in search of food.
I heard Muraguchi's youngest daughter
was sold to a merchant in Sakai.
Her husband must be over 60 already.
I feel bad for the poor girl.
In this situation, they had no choice.
[rustling]
[villager 2] Hey.
What's that kid doing?
Hey.
[villager 2 whispers]
It could be an evil spirit.
Leave it alone.
It's all right.
It's a child.
[villager 1 clears throat]
[villager 1] Hey, boy.
What are you doing
this deep in the woods?
What's the matter? Can't you talk?

-Shige.
-Shige. Hey!
What happened to you, Shige?
[Shige] It's Sho... [coughs]
It's Shohachi.
What happened to Shohachi?
[Shige] He was attacked.
What?
Was it a bear?
No.
A human.
It was Gin.
[Shige] I'm sure of it.
[yells] That was Gin!
[♪ uneasy music playing]
Why did this have to happen?
We're just trying our best...
to survive.
I thought it was supposed to be over
once we sacrificed her to Kurunokami.
[yells]
What's wrong with this village? Huh?
Are we cursed?

Gin Goto survived in the forest
by eating people.
And...
her newborn child was with her.
She lived in the forest,
where there was no food
or anything, for years.
After a while,
the villagers began to search for Gin.
They had all gone mad
with hunger and cold.
[villager 1] Gin!
[Masamune] They were all out to k*ll Gin.
Their persistence was ghastly to behold.
Gin!
[villager 2] We're going to k*ll you, Gin!
[villager 3] Hey, Gin!
Stay on your toes, everyone.
Gin!
Gin!
[water lapping]
[gate creaks open]
[♪ pensive somber music playing]
[Masamune]
But no matter how much we searched,
Gin was nowhere to be found.
[crying]
[villager 1] Why did this have to happen?
[crying continues]
[Shige] We've scoured the whole mountain.
Where is she?
We abandoned her on the snowy mountain.
She can't have survived alone.
What if someone in the village
is helping her?
Hey. Let's stop this.
k*lling and getting k*lled. It's enough.
Let the police handle the rest.
[villager 2] We can't do that, Yoshimune.
This is village business.
Keep your mouth shut.
[villager 3] Yeah, shut up.
Haruko.
[sobs] Haruko.
What's wrong with her?
-What is it?
-What's the matter?
I... I don't think she's breathing.
-No.
-It can't be. Why?
Someone...
[yells] Someone take a look at her!
-Calm down. Calm down, Akiko.
-Why? Why Haruko?
-[Akiko] Why?
-[villager 4] Calm down.
-[Akiko] Someone help her!
-[villager 4] Calm down.
-[Akiko] Why won't anyone help her?
-[villager 4] Calm down.
-Calm down.
-[shrieks]
-[screams, sobbing]
-[♪ tense somber music playing]
No! No!
Looks like we're running out of time.
There's no food left in the village.
Yes, there is!
[villagers crying]
[villager 2] And not just food.
There are some people
who have saved up a lot of money as well.
Take it all...
from the Goto family!
[♪ suspenseful music playing]
[♪ music fades]
[Yoshimune]
A lot of people are starving to death.
You should show some restraint, Kinji.
You've lost weight, Yoshimune.
Now is the time
to make them indebted to you.
You can save this village...
I don't give a damn.
Sort it out yourselves.
The village will perish.
Yoshimune.
Have you forgotten about the Kashihabe?
The Kashihabe.
Surely you remember their tribe.
[♪ suspenseful music playing]
It was during a great famine
in the Edo Period.
They stole children
who had been sacrificed to Kurunokami
and ate them to survive.
[Kinji] Soon,
the laughing sickness began to spread
among the Kashihabe
who had eaten human flesh.
When the villagers found out
about the cannibalism,
they banished the Kashihabe
from the village.
[Kinji exhales deeply]
At the time...
the only family that stood up
for the Kashihabe was the Goto family.
Because of that, we were ostracized.
They took our fields from us
and forced us into the barrens.
For generations, and generations...
[loudly] ...and generations!
This village is rotten to the core.
[scoffs] But still...
Isn't it funny, Yoshimune?
Even after sacrificing Gin to Kurunokami,
the crops continue to fail.
And besides...
there's still food left.
Even if everything else is gone...
[♪ ominous music rising]
...you can just eat people.
[♪ music fades]
Kinji.
Stop searching for Gin.
She has k*lled several villagers.
At this rate,
the villagers and the Goto family
will start k*lling each other.
[Kinji]
Why do you think I'd search for Gin?
Because you're in love with her.
[Kinji laughs]
[Kinji laughing]
[door sliding]
Gin!
Where are you?
Gin!
Hey. What are you doing?
Go look for her already!
Kinji.
-[Kinji] What?
-[family member 1] He's doing it again.
Kinji. This isn't working.
We should give up.
What the hell are you saying?
Come to your senses.
Gin must be dead already.
[grunting]
-[shaky breathing]
-Gin is...
[groans]
Gin is...
[family member 2 groaning]
Katsuyoshi!
Gin is mine!
Kinji.
[family member 3]
Kinji! You're going too far!
-This land...
-[Katsuyoshi groaning]
The food...
[family members] Kinji!
Every last grain of rice!
I won't let anyone have them!
I'm sorry.
[Katsuyoshi crying] I'm sorry.
[Katsuyoshi breathing heavily]
-[indistinct chatter]
-[Katsuyoshi groans]
[Katsuyoshi] It hurts!
Gin.
[coughing]
[♪ pensive somber music playing]
[young Gin]
Then, it's like our own secret place.
[young Masamune] I'm on your side,
even if no one else is.
[young Gin] Listen and learn.
Everything about me.
Gin...
[♪ ethereal music playing]
Gin!
Where have you gone, Gin?
Gin, I miss you.
Gin.
[voice] Masamune.
[young Masamune] What?
Gin?
It's really you, isn't it?
You really are beautiful, Gin.
[young Gin] It's been a long time.
[young Masamune chuckles softly]
[young Masamune] Who is that child?
Is that Shirogane?
It is Shirogane, right?
Mine and your child.
Our child.
Shirogane.
[chuckling] Shirogane.
You're back.
You're back, Gin!
[young Gin] I have...
a favor to ask of you.
[♪ eerie music playing]
Kurunokami Shrine
[villager 1] It's Yoshimune.
[villager 2] He's here.
[indistinct chatter]
[villager 3]
It's pointless to say anything, Yoshimune.
W-We've already made up our minds.
To survive...
we will take from the Goto family.
-[villager 4] That's right.
-[villager 5] We have to survive.
Even so, you have to restrain yourselves.
[Yoshimune] If you steal from them now,
then the village is truly doomed.
Now is the time to be patient.
I know Kinji's personality very well.
When we have been driven to our wit's end
and beg him for aid,
he will propose a compromise...
That's enough, Father.
Patience, patience...
That's what you always say,
but you're just putting off
dealing with problems.
Over there, you cozy up to Kinji,
and over here,
you put on airs for the villagers.
But...
have you ever actually saved
even a single person as a result?
What are you saying?
I know this village better than anyone.
You were the one
who said to sacrifice Gin to the gods.
[shaky breathing]
You're just running away!
Can you look everyone in the eye
and say that you were right?
That's right.
Because you could never make up your mind,
the situation has only gotten worse.
-Yeah.
-Yeah, that's right.
[indistinct chatter]
[yells] There will be k*lling!
You'll die too.
[Yoshimune] You must be patient now
if you want to survive.
You can still turn back now.
It's too late.
[villager 6] Junior. We caught her.
The girl from the Goto family.
She waltzed into the midwife's place,
saying she was having a baby.
[family member] b*stards!
[muffled grunting]
[Shige] Hold still.
Masamune.
Do you understand what you're doing?
Now we'll really be at w*r
with the Goto family.
That's right. It's w*r.
Everyone! Fight!
[villagers] Yeah!
-Yeah, let's do it!
-[indistinct chatter]
Junior is right.
Your role is over, Father.
My time starts today.
[♪ suspenseful music playing]
-[young Masamune] No more running!
-[villagers] Yeah!
[young Masamune] If we run, all we can do
is starve and wait for death.
[villagers] Yeah, that's right!
-Let's go, people!
-[spirited shouts]
-Let's steal what we need to survive!
-[spirited shouts]
-To the Goto household!
-[spirited shouts]
Let's go!
[indistinct clamoring, shouting]
We'll take over the village.
First, you will oust your father
and assume the position of Chief Priest.
[young Gin] Then you will win
the hearts of the villagers
and unite them to destroy the Goto family.
I can't do that.
You're the only one who can.
The only one I trust...
is you, Masamune.
We made a promise here, didn't we?
We said we were going to make
a new world for ourselves.
Yeah.
Yeah. I know.
You're right.
You're right.
You're right.
[young Masamune] We'll make a world
where the weak can survive.
I'll make it happen.
[indistinct murmuring]
[family member 1]
It seems they'll be here soon.
[family member 2] Don't worry.
The men will take care of it.
[pocket watch ticking]
-Damned livestock.
-[pocket watch clatters]
They really came.
[Michigoro] The villagers have gone mad
from starvation.
They're so simple.
We'll confront them.
[Katsuyoshi] Please, wait.
There are so many of them.
Maybe we were the ones
who underestimated them, Kinji.
What are you saying?
Are you telling me to surrender?
-No, no...
-Huh?
Kinji, please calm down.
Even the Goto family doesn't have enough
to share with others!
[informant] Hey.
-K-Kinji. [pants]
-What?
[informant]
Your little sister has been taken hostage!
-[informant panting]
-[annoyed groan]
[Katsuyoshi] Kinji.
I think we should find
a point of compromise...
-[Kinji] Hey.
-Huh? [groans]
Kinji!
Why should I...
do that...
for the people who have oppressed
the Goto family for so long?
-[thudding]
-[squelching]
[panting]
[weapon clatters]
[sniffles]
This is a fight to decide
who gets to live on.
We'll beat the fear of the Goto family
into their brains.
Are you prepared?
[family members] Yes.
[♪ tense music playing]
[muffled groaning]
Here's what food we can spare.
[♪ music fades]
[family member 1]
Let his little sister go and then leave.
[family member 2]
You don't want to die, do you?
Get the rice.
Yeah, carry the rice.
[villager 1] We'll carry the rice first.
[villager 2] It's rice.
[villagers murmuring, exclaiming happily]
[villager 3] Now we won't have to starve.
[villager 4] It's rice. Oh, it's rice.
[villager 5] Oh! We can eat rice.
You think we're even now?
[villager 6] You won't have to starve
for a while, right?
-Right?
-This won't do.
No, this won't do.
-This won't do, will it?
-[murmuring fades]
Are we going to be satisfied with this?
Junior? What's wrong?
We've won.
-Now...
-[g*nsh*t]
[body thuds]
[villager 1] What?
-[villager 2] Huh? What happened?
-[villager 3] Hey.
Who did that?
We did nothing...
[♪ unsettling music playing]

[villager 4] Hey! k*ll the woman!

-What the hell are you talking about?
-[young Masamune] Fight.
[family member 1 yells]
[family member 2 whimpers]
We must win.
If we don't win,
our deaths will be for nothing.
-[family member 3 yells]
-[family member 4 groaning]
-Do it!
-[family member 5 groans]
You want to feed your children, right?
[villager 2] Junior is right.
-We have to win.
-[villager 3] k*ll them!
-Kinji!
-[villager 4] k*ll them!

-[Kinji groans]

How many of you can still move?
Surrender, Kinji!
[Kinji] Don't be stupid.
Come on already. [heavy breathing]
We'll keep k*lling
until the very last man.
Then die!

[♪ uneasy music playing]
-What?
-[g*nshots]
[bodies thud]
The men will die to become our food.
The women...
[indistinct clamoring]
[bandit leader] Plant.
Plant your seeds in them.
Plant and plant and plant some more.
Then devour all.
When the seeds grow...
the ones you call the Goto family...
will be our children.
[Kinji] Gin...
[young Gin] Who are you?
[bandit leader] No one.
For now.
[young Gin] Are you the Kashihabe?
[young Gin scoffs]
You are the Kashihabe, aren't you?
The ones who eat people.
How funny.
The Kashihabe will eat me.
[chuckles]
[giggles]
[young Gin] Tell me.
Don't you want revenge
against the village?
Those scumbags live comfortably
in the village.
Will you keep living
in the forest like this?
So...
why don't we work together?
Doesn't sound so bad, does it?
[soft grunt]
[Kinji groans]
[Kinji choking, panting]
[Kinji laughing]
I see...
I see.
This was all your doing.
What a woman.
I can't let anyone have it.
Gin...
and this house.
[♪ ominous music playing]
You're still saying that, fool?
Die!
-[squelches]
-[Kinji chokes]
[Kinji choking]
-[squelches]
-[grunts]
[groaning]
Is that...
my child?
[young Gin] Who knows?
He might be a Goto child,
or a child of the shrine.
He could even be
a child of the Kashihabe.
-[bandit member 1 chuckles]
-It doesn't matter.
He was born
from the lust of Kuge Village.
And he is only mine.
[Kinji]
We worked so hard to build this up.
Now it's all being taken away.
What a wretched family.
I admit defeat, Gin.
But...
our bond will not end.
I love you, Gin.
[body thuds]
[bandit member 2 chuckles]
[young Gin] You're right.
You will live on inside me.
In our eyes...
you look like meat.
[bandit members chuckling]
[bandit members chanting]
[♪ eerie music playing]
[♪ music fades]
[villager 1] It's Masamune.
-Junior is back, everyone.
-[villagers exclaiming]
-Junior has come back alone.
-[villagers murmuring]
[villager 2] Masamune.
[villagers whimpering]
Wait!
Kinji Goto, the man you despised,
is dead.
I k*lled him with my own hands.
[villager 3] Kinji...
From this day forward,
we are the new Goto family.
We're not like Kinji's Goto family.
We will do things differently.
We will build a new relationship
between the Goto family and Kuge Village.
I...
and the new Chief Priest
of Kurunokami Shrine, together.
Gin.
[young Gin] Isn't that right?
You're right.
That's right, everyone.
Today, Kuge Village has changed.
Now we will all be saved.
-[villager 4] What's Junior saying?
-[villagers murmuring]
[villager 5] What is he saying?
[young Gin] So...
who is the one who can save you now?
[villagers exclaiming]
[villager 6] It's rice.
Rice!
[young Gin]
It's not Kurunokami who can save you.
It's me.
Do you not call your savior your god
around here?
If you want to be saved, then sacrifice.
Just as people did
during the votive festival long ago.
Not dolls, but people.
To your new god.
[♪ dramatic music playing]
If you do that...
you won't have to starve anymore.
[laughs]
Ridiculous.
Of all the things to say,
you demand human sacrifice?
Inconceivable.
Who will heed those words?
[♪ dramatic music continues]
[young Gin] The festival you hold so dear
has now returned to its original form.
You will have nothing else to do
with the Goto family.
That is the rule of Kuge Village.
[clattering]
How could you promise
to keep giving them food?
What's the problem?
There are plenty of things to eat.
[♪ wistful music playing]
[scoffs]
[young Masamune]
This child will still only eat human meat.
Shirogane has the laughing sickness.
-[groaning]
-He won't last much longer.
After making it this far...
Why?
[Shirogane groans]
[young Gin giggles]
there was one person
who survived the laughing sickness.
The person who overcame the disease
grew taller than six and a half shaku...
and wavered between frenzy and stupor.
It is said that his rampaging form
was like that of a god itself.
The people were terrified.
This is what they called that man.
"Arahito."
[♪ tense music playing]
[groaning]
[Shirogane screams]
[bells jingling]
[groaning continues]
[That Man growling]
[groaning, panting]
[That Man growling]
[♪ dramatic music playing]
[Masamune] Since then,
Gin and I cared for Shirogane in secret,
in the inner sanctum of the shrine.
He always sits there,
perfectly still,
waiting for the final ritual
of the festival
to begin.
I am quite sure...
that he is there,
in the place where he grew up...
Mashiro is there, isn't she?
It's the place
where I treated your wounds.
Officer.
I've been listening to your story.
But I don't get it at all.
[Munechika] Mr. Agawa.
You guys.
How long are you going to keep this up?
Hey.
Officer!
[Keisuke] Wait.
[car door opens, closes]
Yosuke?
[Yosuke] Kuroe?
What are you doing out here?
What am I...
Yosuke. Where are you going?
What's that?
Huh?
That.
[Yosuke] Oh, uh, it's nothing.
It's a person.
[Kuroe] Who is it?
The new officer's wife.
I'm taking her to the hospital.
Don't interfere.
She's bleeding from her ears.
What?
Not good.
I've got to hurry.
[Kuroe] Hey, you.
You really did betray the Goto family.
You're just like me.
It's now or never.
Let me get in the car.
Wait, Officer.
Stay away from me.
I can't trust you.
This is a problem I have to deal with.
Shut up.
Hey, Officer.
Right from the start,
I should have chosen which lives to take
and which lives to protect.
Not wanting anyone to die was too naive.
I'll do it.
I'll k*ll That Man.
I have to end this curse for good.
Hey.
If you get in my way...
I'll k*ll you too.
[♪ suspenseful music playing]
[superior]
In order to neutralize the Goto family,
the objective of this mission is to arrest
the chief suspects
Keisuke Goto, Iwao Goto,
and the huge man they call "That Man."
We will first infiltrate Kuge Village
by crossing the bridge,
and head for the location
known as "the altar,"
which Ai Goto informed us about.
[captain] Listen up.
If you encounter any resistance,
you are permitted to fire at will.
It's time.
Commencing operation!
[lieutenant] N2, taking position.
First group is Sasaki's squad.
Second group is Miyake's squad.
Third group is Oba's squad.
Fourth group is Itagaki's squad.
Sasaki's squad will take
the armored vehicle.
Miyake's squad is 3714.
Oba's squad is 1052.
Itagaki's squad is 9043.
[♪ suspenseful music continues]
[♪ music fades]
Kuge Village
[Yosuke] What?
It's fallen off.
Move it out of the way.
Huh?
Come on.
Go already.
[Kuroe] Hurry up.
Just a little longer, and I'll be free.
[♪ tense music playing]
[voice] I figured you were going
to try to leave the village.
[bangs]
Sa-Sadamu?
-[groaning]
-You traitor.
Where is Keisuke?
[Sadamu] Answer me, Yosuke.
