-[tires screech] -[pedestrian gasps]

-[car door opens] -[Utada] Oh, I'm sorry.

-[pedestrian] Hey, watch out! -[Utada] Let's see. This way, I think.

It's this way, isn't it?

Huh? What? This isn't right. Huh? Which way is it?

This is it.

[♪ theme music playing]

Don't worry.

I'll save you no matter what.

You came alone?

Yeah.

Let's get this over with already.

Fine.

Now hand over Yosuke.

I'll give you back your wife and daughter.

You're not lying, right?

[Keisuke] No.

We'll release our hostages on the count of three.

Okay?

One...

Two...

-Three. -Wait.

Let me ask one thing.

Yosuke.

How did you get caught?

With your skill, killing all the cops should have been easy.

So how did they catch you all and rescue the kids?

This guy can't shoot anyone.

You shut up.

Well?

Answer me, Yosuke.

How did you get caught?

[grunts, whimpers]

Ai Goto and the kid who escaped being eaten.

Where are they?

I've already told you.

I was called here.

I don't know anything. [whimpers]

-[Utada wails] -[family member grunting]

-[whimpers] -[family member grunting]

[family member] Next time, it'll be you.

I really don't know. Please don't do it.

You don't know?

Then die.

Oh! Wait, I know! I know!

Tell me!

-[hesitates] I know! -Where? Tell me!

-I know. -Tell me!

-I know. I know! I... -You don't know, after all.

I'm tired of this. Die!

[Ai] Stop!

[family member] What the hell, guys?

That's where you were?

Something happened in Kuge Village, right?

To Keisuke and the others.

No need to tell someone who's about to die.

[Utada whimpering]

-[yells] -[bottle shatters]

-[hissing] -[screaming in pain]

[sobs, wails]

-[objects clattering] -[gasps]

You damn livestock!

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[screaming]

-[loud thump] -[grunts]

[heavy breathing]

I...

Don't talk.

I...

I told you not to talk.

[Iwao] Hey.

You betrayed us!

[Yosuke yells] No!

I want what's best for everyone!

I just don't want anyone to die.

This is wrong. It's all wrong!

Those kids aren't livestock!

They're just clueless, innocent kids!

The same goes for those two.

They've got nothing to do with this!

Come on, Brother. It's enough.

Let's just stop all of this.

Shut up, Yosuke.

[yells] You're the one who's wrong!

Keisuke.

You're the one who revealed the kids' location!

Shut up, Officer!

[Iwao] Huh?

It was his dad who betrayed us.

Anyway, Keisuke dealt with him.

That can't be true.

Brother!

[♪ tense music playing]

Yeah.

It's true.

I killed our dad.

What now, Keisuke?

You want to deal with your little brother yourself too?

First things first.

We don't need these two anymore.

Hey! Don't even think about it, prick!

Do whatever you want with him.

That's what we're going to do!

-[gunshot] -[♪ music fades]

Don't kill anyone else.

You've really done it now, Keisuke.

You protected the lives of livestock rather than the Goto family!

You're a traitor, just like your dad.

We already have an heir.

We'll raise them right.

You can die reassured.

[footsteps approaching]

[screaming in pain]

-[gunshot] -[Makoto screaming] Stop it, Iwao!

-Stop it, please! -[Keisuke] That's enough, Iwao.

-[Makoto groaning] -Iwao!

Yuki. Run.

This way. Quickly, quickly! Run!

[grunting]

[♪ music intensifies]

[gunshot]

[Daigo grunts]

[Yosuke] Stop it, Brother!

Out of the way, Yosuke.

[♪ eerie music playing]

[Iwao growls]

[♪ music stops]

I finally threw you.

[Yosuke grunting]

Whose side are you on?

You're the one who told me where the kids were!

Weren't you going to put an end to it all?

What the hell do you want?

I don't know.

Huh?

I don't know... what I should do anymore.

[♪ menacing music playing]

[growls]

[That Man gasps]

-Mashiro, run! -[growls]

[Daigo grunting]

-[bones crackling] -[groans]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[Daigo groaning]

[coughs, chokes]

[That Man growling]

Wait. Stop!

Let... Let go. Let go! Let... Let go!

Let go! Let go of Mashiro!

[groans]

[heavy breathing]

Mom.

-[gunshot] -[gasping]

[That Man groans]

Stop!

-[gunshot] -[That Man growling]

[That Man shrieking]

[Daigo groans]

If Mashiro dies, it's your fault!

Now go, hurry!

[Yosuke] Hey. Keep it together! Hey!

[Daigo] Mashiro... hang in there.

I'll be right there...

[groaning]

Mashiro...

[groans]

[Daigo breathing heavily]

I had faith that you would come, Utada.

I'll stick with you until the end.

So, you're Ai Goto.

-Yes. -I see.

With you on our side,

we might still be able to stop the Goto family's festival.

Please tell me.

What is going on with the Goto family?

I'll tell you in the car.

We should leave right away.

[door opens, closes]

[heavy breathing]

[growls]

[shaky, rapid breathing]

It's okay.

You wait here.

I promise I'll be back.

[slow footsteps approaching]

[Gin] Kill him.

Kill him. [echoing]

Kill him.

Kill him.

Kill him.

Kill him.

Kill him.

Kill him. Kill him.

Kill him. Kill him.

[car engine revving]

[Utada] The one the Goto family calls "That Man"...

is a corruption of the word "Arahito."

"Arahito." A god incarnate?

That's right.

It means a god that is incarnated in human form.

Its existence has been passed down in the lore of Kuge Village

since more than 700 years ago.

Even today, they worship it as an absolute god.

[Ai] No.

That's not a god, it's just...

a little child.

Its body may grow old,

but it still has...

the soul of a child.

We must hurry.

We have to get there before the festival.

[Ryuji] He killed Iwao.

Officer!

-[family member 1] Well? -[family member 2] They're gone.

[family member 1] Where did Keisuke and Yosuke go?

[family member 3] Maybe the Officer kidnapped them?

[Sadamu] You're wrong!

[Ryuji] Sadamu. You're alive?

Yosuke betrayed us.

Almost got me killed.

What are you saying? Yosuke?

[family member 4] Damn!

[tuts] And here we are!

All our soldiers are dead,

and the Officer and the main household brothers are gone.

Even a monkey could figure out what happened.

[Ryuji] So, Keisuke betrayed us too?

To think you would be betrayed by Keisuke.

[groaning]

-Wh-What? W-Wait, it's me! Let me go! -I'll kill you... Kill you...

Kill... Kill... Kill... Kill...

How are you still alive in this condition?

[blood gurgling]

[elder] Mr. Priest.

You don't have to do everything yourself.

I'll help you.

It's okay, Toki.

[Toki] Don't be afraid to ask for help.

It's fine.

Oh...

[heavy breathing]

[Munechika] Are you awake?

This is the main hall of the shrine.

No one will find you here.

I tended to your wounds.

I used to study to be a doctor.

Here's a painkiller. Please take it.

I'll bring you some ice. Please wait here.

[footsteps approaching]

[Yosuke] Well?

Yuki may have suffered a cerebral contusion.

She should be taken to a hospital quickly.

[Munechika] But... I can't leave this place.

Yosuke, take Agawa's wife and leave the village.

What are you going to do, Brother?

I've got my work cut out for me.

Are you going to kill the Officer?

Like you killed Dad?

I didn't want to kill him.

Even someone like him was still our dad.

Then...

why?

[Yosuke] Why do you try to handle everything yourself?

Can't you tell me...

at least tell me what you're thinking?

I'm not like you.

You didn't leave anyone to die.

But I...

I've left many kids to die until now.

I might as well have killed them myself.

-[water dripping] -[eerie echoing]

[♪ somber music playing]

[shaky breathing]

[sobbing]

[grunts]

[yells]

[grunts]

[heavy breathing]

[yells]

Brother...

I'll take care of the rest...

of our family.

[Keisuke] Let's go.

[footsteps approaching]

Mr. Agawa.

I'm going to take Yuki to the hospital.

Please wait here.

[Daigo breathes deeply]

[softly] Please...

save Yuki.

[Yosuke] If it weren't for you...

If it weren't for you, no one would have died.

-[Jin grunts] -[Kuni] You see, at the time,

I really didn't want to die in vain.

-So... -[villager 1] Brace yourself.

I thought I'd take at least one of those damn Goto people with me,

so I went out to fight.

But they swarmed me like a pack of hyenas.

Someone whacked me from behind.

When I woke up...

Well, it was already over.

[villager 1] How awful.

[villager 2] They're such cowards.

[Kuni] But you know...

looking at the dead bodies of the men all around me,

I realized something.

The Goto family is only human, after all.

[villager 3] Yeah.

[Kuni] Why was I so afraid of them before?

[villager 1] That's right.

If we set our minds to it, we can take the Goto family easily.

[villager 2] I heard gunshots from the west just now.

Ha! I wonder who died this time.

Now Sabu can rest in peace.

[villager 4] Sabu... [sobs]

Nothing beats the sound of dying Gotos, right?

-For sure. -True.

Serves them right.

I'm glad you made it back alive, Kunitoshi.

[villager 2] Jin, it must have been terrible.

-Damn. -[villager 3] Have a drink.

If they think they can boss us around forever, they're wrong.

Just a little longer.

[birds cawing]

Soon the Goto family will fall.

[villager 4] They should just keep dying until they're all gone.

-[villager 3] Yeah. -[villager 2 laughs]

[villager 3] That's right. That's right.

[villager 4] You're right.

I'm trembling with excitement.

[villager 5] If the old hag were still alive,

things wouldn't have gotten this bad.

[indistinct chatter]

[villager 2] How did Sabu face his death?

[Shiina] Sendo!

You're being reckless.

I told you not to come here.

Sorry.

I couldn't do anything.

The enemy is out of control.

-[helicopter whirring] -Have you heard about the situation?

The Goto family ran amok and killed several police officers.

Even Kikuta...

What about Kanemaru and Aragaki?

We can't reach them.

So, perhaps...

No...

[whirring continues]

The people from headquarters are here.

[vehicle approaching]

Sir.

[police chief] I'm Tanaka from the Morobe police department.

Allow me to report on the situation...

[indistinct radio chatter]

[Tanaka] We are currently searching for Sergeant Agawa and the hostages.

But we may encounter armed members of the Goto family in the village,

-and require a large-scale operation... -The search is off.

You're all reassigned to logistical support.

-But sir... -I've requested an SAT.

Once they arrive, we'll capture Kuge Village by force.

Wait a moment.

If we can arrest Keisuke Goto and the ringleaders,

we should be able to neutralize the family.

[superior] Arrest them?

How?

I'm here because you failed to do that.

On the night of the festival,

the Goto family will gather for their ritual.

If we just find out where...

[superior] Ritual?

We need to know

where they're going to sacrifice the children.

Sympathy for your own, huh?

What?

I heard you were born in the village.

That's why you handle them with kid gloves.

You're wrong! I was only...

Anyway, if there's no new information, then there's no change in plan.

Many of our colleagues have been killed.

[sighs] We won't hold back.

[Sendo] Excuse me.

Someone calling herself a Goto is here.

Ms. Ai Goto, isn't it?

I'll tell you everything I can.

So please... spare Keisuke and Yosuke.

[♪ pensive music playing]

[coughs] Give me that!

Give it to me.

Hey.

You're not old enough.

[young Yosuke] Hey, Brother. Let me borrow it.

Will you scram already?

[sobbing] Give it to me.

[young Keisuke sighs] Shut up.

Give it to me.

Give it to me.

Okay.

So, you have to hold here, okay?

Then you hold like this, and look here when you shoot.

Then you shoulder it, look where you're going to shoot...

and then you shoot.

[Gin] Keisuke.

There is someone I want you to meet.

Come.

[That Man snoring]

[♪ tense music playing]

[Gin] The symbol of the Goto Family, That Man.

The god of Kuge Village.

Are you scared?

Of course.

Take this.

Spread them out over there.

[retches]

[bells jingling]

[♪ tense music continues]

[That Man munching]

Mom.

[Gin] It is the Goto family's role... to protect this god.

Do you understand, Keisuke?

Why?

Why did you help me?

I hate you.

But...

I don't want to sacrifice any more kids...

including your daughter.

Is Mashiro...

Yeah.

She's still alive.

What did you say?

Where is Mashiro...

Calm down.

There's still time before the festival begins.

That Man won't eat anyone until then.

What the hell?

How can you be sure of that?

[heavy breathing]

Those are the rules of the festival.

This makes no sense.

What rules?

What is that old geezer?

Why does he eat people?

Why do you and the villagers just accept it?

[priest] Indeed.

It must seem monstrous to an outsider.

Going back to the beginning, it used to make some kind of sense.

But the weight of the years has warped it.

Who the hell are you?

This is my grandfather, Masamune Kamiyama.

It's been a long time, Keisuke.

That child, you see...

is not That Man, the symbol of the Goto family.

Nor is it the villagers' god incarnate.

[Masamune] It is just...

a lone, pitiful human.

[That Man growls softly]

[♪ soft somber music playing]

[Masamune] It was over 70 years ago.

The Goto family ruled Kuge Village, just like now,

no, even more.

The villagers lived in constant torment.

In the village,

Gin did everything she could...

to free the oppressed villagers.

Gin Goto did that?

She was not the Gin...

that you know.

She was a fine woman.

Beautiful enough to drive anyone mad.
