02x08 - Demise

[bunniefuu]

[Gin breathing heavily]

[♪ somber music playing]

[Gin] What's with these people?

Stop it.

Stop it.

Stop it!

-[groans]
-[body thuds]

The old hag has gone completely crazy.

[villager 1]
The laughing sickness is awful.

Yeah.

-[groans]
-[body thuds]

Anyway, is it about time to k*ll her?

-[squelches]
-[Gin groans]

[shrieks]

This plan has no leader or boss.

This is the consensus of the residents
of Kuge Village.

If any one of us snitches,

we'll all be judged
by the laws of the outside.

-In a way, we're all comrades...
-[squelching]

...and all hostages.

What about Sabu and the others?

Don't worry. We're keeping an eye on them.

Sabu and Jin are too close
to the Goto family.

They're not our people.

Well said.

We haven't told the priest, Masamune,
about this either.

We're not going to obey
anyone's orders anymore.

-[screams]
-[squelches]

Takeru, it's your turn.

Right.

[squelches]

[villager 2]
We've finished placing the bait.

The bears will catch the smell
soon enough.

[elder] Now, we are all accomplices.

What is it?

Should we really be doing
this kind of thing?

You're worried about that now?

Let's go.

[That Man growling softly]

[♪ somber pensive music playing]

Shirogane.

[That Man grunting]

[sniffing]

-[squelches]
-[Gin groans]

[That Man munching]

Do I taste good?

Is it good?

Eat.

Eat.

Do you like it?

Mom.

Live.

You must live.

[That Man screaming]

[That Man grunting]

Oh, how incredible!

You have overcome the disease

and become a true god.

[Masamune]
And now you conduct your own last rites.

Well done, Shirogane.

[♪ somber music playing]

[family members sobbing]

[Iwao] Huh?

This is our god?

[laughs]

There's no way this thing is a god.

It's just some old geezer
who happened to survive this long!

[♪ tense music playing]

How long are you going to stay brainwashed
by the old hag?

[yells] There is no god!

Look.

There's nothing in this world...

but flesh and blood.

I knew it!

He is the embodiment of the Kashihabe.

What are you looking at?

Come on, eat. Huh?

We Gotos bury our dead
by eating them, right?

-[family member 1] Stop. Stop! Okay?
-Here. Here, eat.

[family member 2 screaming]

[Keisuke] Officer! Officer, don't!

Stop. Stop it!

Take your daughter and run.

In this situation?

You finally got her back, right?

Hey! Go already. Go!

[family members clamoring]

-[Keisuke] Iwao! Iwao!
-[Iwao screams]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

Stop! Stay away! Stay away!

[g*nsh*t]

-Iwao, stop it!
-[Iwao groans]

Keisuke.

This must be some mistake, right?

I...

I lived only to protect you, didn't I?

I...

I have always...

This isn't what you promised.

I don't want to sh**t you either.

[yells] But you did sh**t!

[Daigo panting]

[engine starts]

[whistling]

[banging on door]

[family member 1] What a racket.
Who's there?

-[door opens]
-[family members yelling]

[family member 2 whimpering]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

-[Ryuji] No freaking way.
-[family member 3 groaning]

-[family member 1 screaming]

[villager] We're in!

-[villagers shouting, grunting]
-[family member 2 groaning]

[family member 3 screaming]

It hurts, Keisuke.

I've always been your personal soldier.

I only cared about you.

-[thwacks]
-[young Keisuke grunts]

-[thwacks]
-[young Keisuke grunts]

[young Iwao] Keisuke. What are you doing?

Keisuke, stop.

-Stop it. Shut up!
-Keisuke, stop this.

[Iwao] Not because Grandma Gin told me to.

Protecting you was the only part of me...

[Iwao groaning]

Iwao?

The part of me...

Yuki
Calling

[line connects]

Hello, Yuki? Is that you?

Are you okay, Yuki?

[voice over phone] Is this Mr. Agawa?

Huh?

It's Sendo.

I'm with Yuki at the Kibi Medical Center.

Sendo, is Yuki all right?

She's stabilized slightly now.

But we can't say anything for sure
in this state.

[breathes heavily]

I see.

[Sendo] Um...

I'm still not up to speed
on the situation.

Is Mashiro okay?

She's here.

She's safe.

[Sendo] What a relief.

Mr. Agawa.

In that case,
you should come to the hospital quickly.

Together with Mashiro.

[Sendo] Please be at Yuki's side.

[Daigo] Okay, I'll head there right away.

Mashiro.

Let's go see Mom, okay?

[tires screech]

[Daigo] Are you okay?

Officer, have you seen Tomoki?
Did Tomoki pass by here?

Please, calm down a little.

What happened?

The villagers have gone
to the Goto residence...

I think Tomoki followed his dad...

The Goto residence?

His dad brought a can of gasoline
and went with the villagers,

saying they were going to wipe out
the Goto family.

But if Tomoki goes
to such a dangerous place...

Officer, please help my child!

It's true! Please, believe me!

[♪ pensive music playing]

[distant expl*si*n]

[Daigo] No way...

Why would they...

We've lived our lives
bound to this village,

unable to stand up to the Goto family.

But... everyone has finally
had enough of it.

[car door opens]

[sobs, breathes shakily]

Mashiro.

What do we do?

What's the right thing to do?

Are you worried about Tomoki?

Go to where Mom is and wait there.

I'll put an end to all of this.

Please, take Mashiro to the police.

Please.

Understood.

Mrs. Agawa. Mrs. Agawa.

Mrs. Agawa. Mrs. Agawa.
Doctor, it's an emergency.

Starting CPR.

Mrs. Agawa, can you hear me? Mrs. Agawa.

-Prepare...

Huh? What?

[Ryuji] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Huh?

Huh?

[g*nsh*t]

[body clattering]

[Takeru] We'll k*ll you all.

It won't end until we've wiped you out.

Is that you, Takeru?

What the hell are you wearing?

Looks good, right?

I figured it would be memorable.

Huh?

You know, my daughter...

is in first year of junior high school
in the afterlife.

[Ryuji] What are you talking about?

The daughter you b*stards ate!

Takeru. I'm s-sorry.

I'm not doing this because I want to...

[g*nsh*t]

[groaning]

[deep exhale]

When you see her, give her a message.

I...

was shining so beautifully.

[Tomoki's dad] Let's go.

-Let's go!
-[Tomoki] Stop it!

-Tomoki? Tomoki? Tomoki, is it you?
-Stop. Don't k*ll them.

What are you doing here?

Go! Go home!

Come on, go home. I said go home!

[Tomoki] Stop it! Eiji is my friend!

-Stop it. Stop it. Stop it!

[♪ music fades]

You look so cool, Officer.

Huh?

[Takeru]
If the government takes control of us,

how do they differ from the Goto family?

Kuge Village will just be
under someone else's control.

You guys can't do it.

You can't break this cycle.

You don't know that.

[♪ pensive music playing]

That's why...

we just have to keep thinking.

[Eiji sobbing, crying]

Why couldn't you have faith
in the next generation?

Those kids...

they're just living their lives.

[Daigo] They don't care about Kuge Village
or the Goto family.

[Eiji crying]

Don't tie them down with new hatred.

[Masamune] At last!

The Kashihabe is dead!

Wonderful!

G-Gin.

Gin.

Gin...

My life was great!

Shut up already, old man.

We have to clean up the mess
your generation left behind.

What are you mad about?

Gin?

Gin.

Oh, don't be angry. Okay? G-Gin.

Oh.

Gin.

I'll always be w-with you
from now on. Hmm?

Oh, not this one.

Gin?

[laughs]

Gin.

Come on, laugh, Gin!

[laughs] Laugh...

[groans]

Look at me.

Kuge Village is going to need your help.

Please.

Keisuke.

[ropes swishing]

This is the police!

Don't move!

-[family member shouts]
-Don't resist!

-[officer] Freeze!
-We'll all surrender.

We must show our children
how we live with our sins.

[superior] I've got to say...

that Sergeant Agawa is one hell of a guy.

He actually pulled this off
all by himself?

[chuckles]

Yes.

The last kind of person
the police organization needs.

It's been about 17 years.

You remembered.

Yeah. Yeah.

[officer 1] Is that true?

-Yes.

Yuki.

[Yuki] Daigo.

Mashiro, I'm sorry.

[Yuki sighs in relief] You took your time.

I'm sorry, Yuki.

[relieved, deep sigh]

I'm so glad you're alive.

[Yuki chuckles softly, sighs]

[Yuki] I want to eat some melon.

Daigo, go buy a melon.

[Daigo] A melon?

Impossible. I can't move anymore.

[Yuki chuckles softly]
Mashiro, you want to eat melon too, right?

See, Mashiro wants some too.

[Daigo] I said I can't move.

[Yuki chuckles]

[Yuki] Oh? Daigo?

[Sendo] Mr. Agawa?

[Yuki] Daigo?

[Sendo] Mr. Agawa?

Excuse me! A man just passed out!

[nurse 2] Hang on a moment.

He's just sleeping.

-[Yuki] What?
-[nurse 2 chuckles] Was he tired?

-[nurse 3] I'll take this off.
-[nurse 2] Yeah, he's okay.

-[Sendo] He's just sleeping?
-[nurse 3] Yeah.

-Do we put him in a bed? [laughs]
-[Sendo] Is he okay?

[TV presenter 1]
Police suspect that most of the villagers

were complicit in the m*rder of Gin Goto

and are continuing their investigation.

Yes, the whole village was in on it.

They were also sacrificing
unregistered children

to a person they referred to as That Man.
[tuts]

This is an unprecedented,
horrific incident.

Today on Tell Me, Armadillo,

we'll take a closer look
at the Goto family...

-[vlogger 1] I'm in that village now.
-[viewer 1] Hey, have you heard of this?

...as well as the village's history.

-[viewer 2] Oh, the village from the TV.
-[vlogger 2] I am in Kuge Village.

-[vlogger 1 squeals]
-[viewer 1] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Today, we're going to interview
the residents of Kuge Village.

-Yes.
-Oh, wow.

-This is freaky. Wait, wait...
-Hey, wait a second.

-[vlogger 1] This is too scary.
-What? Oh, snap. Damn.

-[vlogger 2] Look. It says "human meat."
-[vlogger 1] "Human meat." [screams]

-It's for real. It's for real.
-This is crazy. What the hell?

[vlogger 2] Seriously, what happened here?

[vlogger 1] Ugh, that's so scary.

-[vlogger 2] Wow, what is this?
-[vlogger 1] It's like a horror movie.

-[villager] People keep coming here.
-We just came to hear your story.

-[kid] That Man is coming!
-Are you okay, ma'am?

[villager] You came from Tokyo?
Then go back to Tokyo.

[kids shouting, clamoring]

[beggar grunting, shouting]

[kid 1] Cannibal!

-[kid 2] He's here!
-[kid 3] That Man is here!

-Run away!
-[kid 1] It's the cannibal!

[TV presenter 2] Joining us now
is the journalist Manabu Utada,

who is an expert

on the strange, unknown customs
of Kuge Village and the Goto family.

We're glad to have you here.

Thank you.

[TV presenter 2] Mr. Utada, have you met

-the prime suspect, Keisuke Goto?
-[doorbell rings]

-No, I haven't met him, but I've heard...
-[Ai] Coming.

-That's the exact amount. Thank you.
-Thank you.

[Utada] ...and played a vital role
in uniting the clan.

-[Ai] Kyosuke.
-[Utada] It was he who instructed...

the surviving men of the Goto family
to surrender.

[Ai] Let's have some pizza.

[Utada] Their testimony
is gradually shedding light

-on the truth behind the incident.
-[Kyosuke] Okay.

[TV presenter 2]
Why has Keisuke Goto been so willing

to cooperate with the investigation?

[Utada] I think he is trying

to shoulder the blame
for the Goto family's crimes

-and receive proper punishment.
-[liquid sloshing]

Here.

Thanks.

Let's eat.

We're all wondering how the trial will go,
and how the judge will assess the case.

It's hard to believe the rumors
that the villagers willingly sacrificed

their children to the Goto family.

[TV presenter 2]
How could something like that happen?

[Utada]
Back when Gin Goto was head of the family,

the Gotos assumed
a position of absolute power in...

[TV turns off]

-[TV turns on]
-The family then took over

this culture of ritual sacrifice,
which is...

It's okay.

[TV presenter 2 sighs]

[TV presenter 2] What a terrifying custom.

It's surprising that such a culture
still remains to this day,

but how did the Goto family...

[♪ music fades]

How are you holding up?

What?

Don't ask dumb questions.

Can't you see?

Sumire... is doing well.

The baby will be born soon.

She said it's a girl.

A girl, huh?

I can't even imagine it.

[Daigo inhales deeply]

When Mashiro was born...

I had no idea what to do either.

Don't compare me to you.

We're totally different, right?

Yeah.

Yosuke...

is leaving the village.

I see.

Maybe that's for the best.

He doesn't have to carry this weight.

Right.

We, the Goto family...

committed terrible crimes.

For a long time.

As head of the family,
I must face the consequences.

Consequences, huh?

I agree, your crimes were serious.

But...

if I had been in your place...

I think I would have done the same.

When you get out one day...

embrace your child without shame.

One day...

[♪ soft emotional music playing]

It feels refreshing to think
I'll never have to see your face again.

Same here.

What?

Or do you feel sorry for us?

We don't want your pity or your money.

Do you have business with the substation?

Yes.

Oh, I'm sorry.

But we don't have

Oh, no.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

No, not at all.

Nice to meet you.

Hey, Shin.

Dumbass, cannibal, shameful

Be careful.

[Kanako chuckles]

Up we go! [chuckles]

[Sayama] It looks like
someone is living in that house.

It's that man's house.

[Sayama] That man?

Yeah.

[Kanako] He lives there with his family,
three of them.

-[Shin] Hey, look.
-[Kanako] Yeah. What?

-[Shin] This.
-[Kanako] Oh, what is that?

Maybe I should say hello.

Save it for later.

If you bring some wine,

-they'll welcome you.
-[Shin] Mom!

[Sayama] Oh?

What does he do?

Well... [soft chuckle]

-...you'll see when you meet him.
-[Mashiro] Orange juice.

-[Yuki] Orange juice? And Daigo?
