DIRECTED BY TERUO ISHII

This story begins inside a gray room...

an unusual gray room.

The autumn of the thirteenth year of the Taisho era (1925).

Hey, knock it off.

I look away for a second and you bring in men.

You strung out pigs.

Take this! Take this!

Shut up!

I said be quiet!

Stop it!

You! Damn you!

Hey, I said be quiet!

Are you satisfied now?

Back to your cell.

Hirosuke Hitomi.

The next time I find you in the women's cell,

you're finished.

Attention!

I am Army General Ashihara!

What is that attitude? Salute!

Salute!

Darling, hold me.

Let me show you.

You said you love me.

Wait. Wait.

Why are you running away?

You stupid, cruel man.

You can run, but I won't let go.

Hurry along.

Don't you know your own cell?

I thought you had improved and I let you walk around...

and look what happens.

You're not stepping out for a while.

You don't understand anything I'm saying.

I am not insane.

I was studying to be a doctor.

Have I really gone insane?

I can hear it.

I can hear it again.

That lullaby.

I've heard it before.

Over and over.

I hear waves.

I remember. Waves were hitting these cliffs.

It was a dark ocean.

I was watching the cliffs and the raging waves.

Then I saw it.

Was it human, or an animal? What was it?

Then there was the dark, shadowy storage room.

I remember being inside it with another person.

Sleep, little baby...

The sound of creaking stairs.

- And that lullaby. - Sleep, little baby...

And that strange girl.

Or was it a infant?

No. Was it a girl?

That beautiful girl's face would suddenly change to the face of an ugly man.

That ugly face.

That two-faced maiden.

That lullaby.

Is this a hallucination? Is this the cause?

Am I truly insane?

No.

I'm not crazy.

I'm not crazy!

Let me out.

Open this cell!

Let me out.

It's that man again.

He's always staring at me, that bald man.

Who is he?

Hey! Who the hell are you?

Why are you watching me?

Answer me!

Be quiet.

Doctor, I'm sure Hitomi is agitating the crazies again.

No! I'm not crazy.

I'm not!

- I am not insane! - Shut up.

Stop it.

Don't. Don't do it.

Don't do it.

Stop. No. No.

I lost consciousness.

How long has it been, I wonder?

A door quietly creaks open.

The bald man appeared before my eyes.

I killed him.

But why did this bald-headed man come after me?

Sleep, little baby...

The sitter went over the mountains and went back home.

Sleep, little baby...

Sleep, little baby...

Baby is a good boy...

Sleep, sleep...

You.

Where did you learn that song?

Why?

- I know it. - You're a rude man, aren't you?

You.

Hey, wait.

Let go.

Hey.

I'm the child of a magician.

I'm not kidding. Listen.

How do you know it?

Nobody knows this song in Tokyo.

So this song is from your hometown?

I don't know who taught it to me.

I grew up in a circus.

Was I orphaned?

Maybe I was kidnapped.

If you were kidnapped,

maybe it was a song

your mother sang to you when you were little.

In psychology it's called episodic memory.

Wow, you know some big words.

My name is Hirosuke Hitomi.

I'm studying to be a doctor.

I'm Hatsuyo. I'm on tour.

If my mother sang this song,

Maybe we can look into where it's from.

and find out where I came from.

Yes, and where I came from, too.

What? You don't know where you're from?

No.

I only have an idea.

Hey, have you ever seen this picture?

Hey!

- Over there. - What is it?

It's nothing.

I'll draw the picture and bring it tomorrow.

- All right. - Good-bye.

This is the picture. Have you ever seen it?

This is exactly it.

Good.

Does it help you recall anything from your past?

I'm not sure.

Try to remember. I'm sure you will.

Come to think of it, our producer Tatsuzo heard that tune,

and said it comes from the Japan Sea coastline.

The Japan Sea coastline?

So this picture may be an island along that coast.

So this island is my home?

Let's meet Mr. Tatsuzo.

But the circus impresario overheard us and fired him.

Fired him?

Yes.

I remember!

That time, Mr. Tatsuzo said, "On the Japan Sea coast... "

What happened?

Hey!

He has a knife.

Murderer!

"Beautiful Circus Girl Murdered. "

"Daytime Assault. "

"Bearded Man Stalked Beautiful Girl. "

Who framed me as a murderer?

Why? What for?

And who killed that poor girl, Hatsuyo?

The answer lies in some town along this coast.

I will unravel this mystery. I swear it.

Genzaburo, head of the Komoda family

dies of unknown causes.

HEAD OF THE KOMODA FAMILY DIES OF UNKNOWN CAUSES

This wasn't me.

But in this land of riddles was a man identical to me.

The Komoda family is famous in this town.

The man of the house was a strange one.

What do you mean?

Like me, he had bad eyesight.

Oh, bad eyesight.

And like a frog, on his hands he had webbed fingers.

He didn't want to be seen like that,

so within a year after getting married,

he retreated by himself to his island.

There. You can see it.

It's that island.

He left Hirukawa, their steward, in charge of the main household.

Please lie down.

Wait.

The wife had a child on the island.

The child came back to the main household when he was three.

The wet nurse raised him by herself.

I don't condone leaving a precious heir

to be raised by a wet nurse!

So it was the son that died?

Yes. Genzaburo.

I received patronage from him.

The relationship between parent and child must've been weak.

I suppose.

I don't know why Jogoro, the father,

invested so much money on that inconvenient island.

It's rumored that their fortune is in jeopardy.

Investing in some kind of business?

The story is they're converting the entire island

into some kind of fairytale island.

That deserted island...

Deserted island?

Sir, you know you have a scar on the sole of your foot?

The late Genzaburo Komoda had the same kind of scar.

Hey, that tickles.

It's so strange.

What a coincidence.

This same scar as the Komoda family heir,

and an identical face.

I got as much as I could out of the masseuse.

This woman is Chioko, widow of Genzaburo.

That must be Shizuko, a distant relative of the family.

Hirukawa, the steward.

That old woman,

Gindashi, the wet nurse.

And the three women must be the maids.

The most distinguished family of the coastal Sea of Japan.

The funeral procession for the Komoda family heir

extended along a rainy seaside road.

There must be a connection between

the deceased Genzaburo Komoda and myself.

A plan.

As of today, Hirosuke Hitomi disappears from the world

and will exchange places with Genzaburo Komoda's corpse.

The same gammadion symbol as mine.

Herein lies the key to the mystery.

Hey!

Somebody drowned himself!

Young Master Komoda.

Master, don't hesitate. Please go to heaven.

Chiho! Chiho!

- Yes, I'm coming. - Hurry.

You called me?

What can I do?

- I have a stomachache. - Oh, no.

Carry me to the temple.

Yes, sir. Go ahead.

Are you ready?

Hold on tight.

- Go. - Yes.

Diarrhea? It's been cold.

I drank too much water.

It smells. It's starting to smell.

I leaked a bit.

I see. We're at the steps.

I'm going to jump.

Stop it.

Chiho! Chiho!

Have mercy.

How dare you disrespect a dead person.

It's clinging on.

You should help, too.

It won't let go.

Well, well, well.

This is really strange.

There is a real strong pulse.

What are you talking about, you quack?

I walked here because it has a pulse.

Walked here?

If it wasn't for quack doctors like you,

half the dead people would be alive today.

What do you mean, "quack"?

What about all the money you priests make?

Forget it.

Anyway, strange things do happen.

A death certificate was issued,

we had a funeral, and he was taken to the cemetery...

Hey, what are you doing?

We screw around a lot.

She's my old girlfriend.

Don't get mad.

I'll give her to you, bulldog. Here.

What?

- I return her. - You will?

- Yes. - Fine then.

Then everybody's satisfied.

How about it?

Shall we prayer-clap? This is the place for it, isn't it?

Well, then...

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

"Komoda Family Heir, Genzaburo, Miraculously Resurrects. "

"A Rush to Burial... No Error in Diagnosis. "

Genzaburo's resurrection was diagnosed as

the result of temporary asphyxiation.

I spent a couple days feigning to be an emaciated patient.

Darling, your medicine.

Chioko is a virtuous woman.

I felt I might succumb to her allure.

But that would be dangerous.

She knows his body and all his dispositions.

I waited until Chioko was asleep,

then I thoroughly searched the house.

What are you doing?

I can't sleep.

I wanted to see your photographs.

It's so nostalgic.

You cried a lot at night.

Genzaburo was left-handed.

I almost made a huge mistake.

It was a splendid wedding.

You married such a beautiful woman.

I was so happy.

Would you like another helping, sir?

No. Give me tea.

You must eat more.

But your complexion has returned.

A person like you comes once every

one thousand or ten thousand years.

You should resolve yourself to living a long life.

Bring the paper.

Okei, bring the newspaper.

Yes.

Take this away.

Master, your glasses.

Dear...

when did your eyes get better?

I wish they had, but they're not any better.

- Bring my glasses. - Yes.

Go around.

Good.

Now sit.

Good dog.

Hey!

Stop it!

Stop! What are you doing?

He's the master!

Stop!

Back! Back!

What are you doing?

It's okay, it's okay.

Good. Let's go.

I could fool humans,

but the dog knew his master's scent.

Hirukawa, the steward, looked at me with suspicion.

I've made consecutive mistakes.

Dear...

your medicine.

Chioko desires my body,

and I desire her.

This is dangerous.

A few days later, there was a great celebration.

I gave all my attention towards the small talk of the guests.

Being Genzaburo's imposter exhausted me.

...a cause for celebration... ... try this food...

...yes, indeed.

Where are you going?

The toilet.

...young man, incredible... ... please eat and drink...

You've been cold to me these days.

Chioko is going out tomorrow night.

I'll be waiting.

It's a promise.

That attitude... this is not an ordinary relationship.

Dear...

are you all right?

You drank too suddenly.

I'm fine. Go to sleep.

Dear...

It's as if you're a different person.

You keep trying to avoid me.

Chioko.

That's not true.

Come.

Dear.

I overslept.

She hasn't noticed.

But how am I to deal with Shizuko's invitation?

Genzaburo!

I wanted to see you so much.

Ever since you recovered,

you've been ignoring me.

I always want to be next to you.

Tell me you love me like you did before.

Say it.

Nothing's changed.

It's the same as before.

I'm happy.

What should I do?

If I avoid her now, she may suspect me.

Master, Mr. Ozeki of the Nanara Fishing Company has come to see you.

Show him in.

Yes.

Your signature please.

This may be a trap.

I can't write with my left hand.

What should I do?

Excuse me.

I'll use this.

- I am sorry... - Mr. Ozeki...

This is useless now.

No.

Oh, well. It may be more work,

but please create another document.

Yes.

Somebody come!

Help!

Somebodyl

Help mel

Over there.

Ma'am, there's a snake.

That snake was called a hame mamushi

and could kill you with one bite.

They live in the mountains.

Why were they here?

Somebody may be trying to kill Shizuko.

Who lit the bath-fire?

I did.

Who are you?

He's here to replace Gensuke, who went back to his family.

He's new. He's name is Shinkichi.

How do you do.

You were tending the bath-fire?

Yes.

Did you see anybody?

No. Nobody.

"Shizuko, you have lured the resurrected Genzaburo

"into an alcove and showered him with kisses,

disrobed and exposed your body... "

Somebody is watching us.

This letter was found here.

Who put it there and when?

I'm scared.

I don't know what to do.

This house is cursed.

We're going to be murdered!

That's not going to happen.

I won't allow it.

Promise.

Promise to protect me.

"Chioko, on the night of the great celebration,

"you cried upon the chest of the sleeping Genzaburo,

"and said, 'It's as if you're a different person.

"You keep trying to avoid me. '

"As you spoke with sweet words,

you lay on top of Genzaburo and put your lips onto his lips. "

Somebody is watching us.

Who could it be...

Who could it be?

I am sorry.

What a blunder I caused.

Shizuko won't leave her room.

And the madam won't eat at all.

A lot of creepy things have been happening.

You can't blame them.

Maybe I should take a vacation.

- Those snakes might... - Stop it!

Don't even joke about it.

No!

Help!

Somebody come!

Somebody come!

Help!

Somebody!

May I help you?

What are you doing?

I was about to kindle the bath water.

Master, what's the matter?

Did you see a strange man just now?

Don't think so.

Is somebody prowling?

It's a big house.

I wouldn't know.

Is this man really not involved?

Chioko.

What's the matter?

Chioko. Chioko!

Hey, somebody help!

Chioko.

On the lam as a murderer,

I had to treat Chioko's mysterious death

as due to sickness.

With the wealth and credibility of the Komoda family,

such a measure was possible.

Poor Chioko.

Who killed her?

Or was it a suicide?

Sleep, little baby...

Sleep, little baby...

...baby is a good boy...

Sleep, little baby

...baby sleeps so deep...

Sleep

Gin.

Master.

What was that lullaby?

You don't remember?

We used to sing it together all the time.

After you returned here from the island,

we sang it everyday.

Sleep, little baby...

It's those cliffs I imagined.

Genzaburo must have drawn it.

Hirukawa, I want to go to the island tomorrow.

Make the preparations.

What are you saying?

I want to see my father.

No.

The consequences of disobeying your father,

who ordered that no one go near the island, are too great.

I want to see the progress of the development there.

If we do that, your father will only ask for more money.

Any more expenditures and the Komoda family will truly go bankrupt.

Hirukawa, are you able to do what I'm asking?

It wasn't a dream or hallucination.

I have been here before.

But when?

And under what circumstances?

Genzaburo, I have not permitted you to come here...

There are many things I want to talk to you about.

Just the two of us.

I cannot talk to my father?

Of course,

but until my vision for this island is complete,

I did not want anybody to come.

But since things are almost complete, I will show you.

I will show you my ideal world.

There are still more things to investigate.

The image of the dark storage room.

Was it real?

Does it exist on this island?

Sleep, little baby...

Sleep, little baby...

Baby is a good boy

Sleep

You. You are?

Who are you?

Genzaburo.

Can't you tell?

The son of the old master?

I am Hideko.

Are you always here?

I'm told I'm different from the others and shouldn't go out.

What do you mean, "different from the others"?

You can't tell?

What's wrong?

Siamese twins.

But in the history of medicine,

there have only been same-sex Siamese twins.

Male and female Siamese twins are an impossibility.

Stop it.

You must stop!

Please stop.

It hurts.

- Knock it off! - Stop it!

Knock it off!

Don't be so surprised.

I have far more interesting things to show you.

Genzaburo, this is your world.

I wanted you to see it.

Why? What for?

I have gathered normal babies and old people,

and then deformed them.

When this island is finished, these malformed people will be free.

Malformed men will rule!

We'll gather beautiful women and do what we want.

I won't let you.

Genzaburo, you cannot leave this island.

Not just you. Hirukawa and Shizuko as well.

That man Shinkichi, too.

None of you can leave this island.

You are to serve as our slaves until you die.

You're crazy. You're all crazy.

You physically normal people don't understand

the sufferings of the malformed.

To be stared at, sneered at, and scorned.

Ridiculed... What would you understand?

This time, it's your turn to suffer.

You will also become malformed men.

I've been waiting for this day.

Who is going to do that?

By what means?

That is why I sent your brother to learn surgery in Tokyo.

Hirukawa said he is finishing his internship

and coming home soon.

You are going to be deformed

by the hands of your younger brother.

Younger brother?

My younger brother is in Tokyo?

I never told you about your younger brother.

I left him with my younger brother, who runs a circus.

From there he commuted to Toyo Medical University.

Toyo Medical...

The gammadion symbol on the sole.

The identical face.

Genzaburo Komoda was my older brother,

and this crazy man is my father.

There are many more things I want to talk about.

But that will all be after the surgery.

I can't be part of this madness.

You're dreaming a warped dream.

You don't want to live?

Father.

Can you shoot your own child?

I can kill anybody that dares to shatter my dream.

Father, I am not Genzaburo.

I am Hirosuke.

My brother died on that funeral day.

He never resurrected.

You are Hirosuke?

I was an intern when I was forcefully confined to a mental hospital.

I don't know why, or who did such a thing.

In order to escape the hospital,

I killed a man and became a fugitive.

Who? Who did such a thing?

I got a lead from a circus girl named Hatsuyo...

and came here.

I posed as Genzaburo Komoda and infiltrated this island

in order to get away and find the truth.

Hatsuyo was a valuable treasure.

She was to lure you to this island.

This girl is Hatsuyo's younger sister.

Hirosuke, do as I wish.

I sent you to Tokyo at the tender age of three.

I waited for you to become a first rate surgeon.

For 25 years I developed this island and waited

in order to realize this dream.

Hirosuke, please listen to my request.

Are you saying you cannot?

Wait.

Please return them to their original form.

If you could do that...

You will do as I say?

Hirosuke, I have wonderful things prepared on this island for you.

The following month passed by like a dream.

I lived in the storage room alone with Hideko.

I've always watched you two.

Your bodies have intertwined.

Your blood has intermingled.

As a marriage present, would you like to meet your mother?

They're here.

Baby, sleep...

Sleep, baby, sleep

Baby is a good boy

Sleep, baby, sleep

Mother.

Mother.

You are?

It's me, Hideko.

This man operated on me and made me whole.

You fixed Hideko?

Thank you.

Then you will forgive me?

This is a selfish woman.

Shizuko. Hirukawa.

This is the wife with whom I had a grand wedding.

It was said by the villagers that Toki was

the most beautiful woman in all of Japan, China, and India.

And I became the ugly bridegroom of that woman.

But I was happy no matter what anybody said.

My soul was smitten.

When she gardened, Toki was more beautiful than the flowers.

Even in the kitchen, she was the cleverest housewife.

I let her do whatever she wanted.

But it seemed that Toki didn't want me out and about

or seen next to her.

I observed her from a distance

as though I was an outcast prostitute.

Nonetheless, I was satisfied.

Just as she wanted, I hired her cousin, Hayashida, as a steward.

After Hayashida's arrival, I became wary of Toki.

I would often awaken at night and not find her.

One night, I decided to investigate what she was up to.

Up until then, I was too scared to find out.

Hold me tight.

I witnessed the unbearable sight of Toki and Hayashida.

Toki became pregnant.

I prayed the child was mine.

We received a mountain of offerings,

and what grew in my heart was a mountain of misgivings.

But I could not resolve to let go of Toki.

Just before Toki gave birth, I hired Hirukawa as steward,

brought in my distant relative, Shizuko,

and moved to this deserted island.

I brought with me Toki and her lover Hayashida.

Hayashida was weak and became mentally exhausted and sick.

I left them alone for half a month.

- Help! Please! Please! - Help.

Help.

- Please. - Please.

Please, darling.

After being left for only five days...

I heard people don't die easily.

Please forgive me.

- Forgive me. - Forgive...

- Darling, forgive me. - Please forgive me.

I will do anything to atone.

Please.

Spare my life.

- Please, save me. - Spare my life.

But women are strong.

Toki cared for her child so much that she couldn't die.

Darling...

I left them for ten more days.

Hayashida died and Toki was in the darkness by herself.

It was Toki's worst fear.

Toki, live a little longer. Three more days.

Then I will bring your baby.

Do you mean that?

For that, you must eat or die.

Eat.

There's plenty to eat.

Plenty?

Those crabs.

Crabs?

Do you want to see your baby?

Toki ate the crabs that ate her lover's dead flesh.

She devoured those crabs.

They ate Hayashida to the bone.

And... what happened to Hayashida?

He's still right here.

Genzaburo and Hirosuke were on this island

until three years of age.

Genzaburo went to the Komoda house.

Hirosuke went to my half-brother who ran the circus

and was encouraged to study at a medical university in Tokyo.

Upon your return,

unlike my original Siamese twins,

I decided that you were to create stranger

and more fabulous malformed men.

After Hayashida died,

I hired an ugly hunchback to rape Toki.

Toki had a daughter.

That was Hatsuyo.

I gave her to the circus.

The next year, she had another daughter...

Hideko, here with us now.

Mother.

I bought an ugly baby named Takeshi.

I tore off his backside and attached him to Hideko.

Now, Hirosuke has returned.

Without knowing it, you slept with your own sister, Hideko.

You copulated as man and woman.

You two have committed the blasphemous act of incest.

Stop it. Enough!

I will not deform people.

Do as I say or stay in this cave until you die.

The one that dies first is food for the crabs and insects.

They, in turn, are your food.

Please stop!

Please let me see.

I can get out.

Even in this pitch black maze,

there are symbols along the rocks that only I can understand.

Hirosuke, I will be back in two or three days.

Take your time to decide whether you will do as I say

and create malformed men.

Master, please wait.

This has nothing to do with me.

Please spare me.

Hirukawa, you deceived me.

Hirosuke was put in a mental institution and almost killed by a bald man.

Not true. I don't know anything about it.

It was a misunderstanding.

Please help.

Shizuko, you've had a relationship with Hirukawa.

I had the hunchbacks watch you.

Not true! I hate this man! Save me!

Who's there?

Who's laughing?

Who are you?

Why are you here?

I want to add to the things you just said.

Mr. Hirukawa, there is a man, in the vast city of Tokyo,

who is extremely interested in solving crimes.

His name is Kogoro Akechi.

He likes solving crimes more than he likes to eat.

One day, he noticed

an ad in the papers.

Toyo Building put out a vacancy ad for ten straight days.

One day, the ad was gone.

I assumed there was a renter.

But the next day, TOYO BUILDING - ROOM #13 VACANT

once again, there was an ad for Room #13 of Toyo Building.

If there was a renter, that meant he paid a lot of money

to use the space for one day.

I was suspicious.

I visited Toyo Building.

At the same time he signed the rent contract,

he put out an ad for female office workers?

On the day he signed, a lot of furniture moved in,

and about two hundred girls lined up for the job.

Apparently, the job terms were incredibly good.

What was strange was that on the night of the job call,

he came to cancel the rent contract.

Two to three days after that,

there were numerous requests to the police

to investigate runaway girls.

The day the girls went missing was the same day

the job call was conducted by the renter.

What's that got to do with me?

I finally realized your connection when I came here.

I talked to the beautiful slaves on this island.

They were all girls who answered the job call at Toyo Building.

They were all girls who hadn't mentioned to their families

that they were answering a job call.

Luring these girls to a new recruit welcoming party

was your routine.

You bribed the director of a mental institution

that was having financial difficulties.

There, you confined the girls you deceptively gathered

until you transported them to the island.

You are also a pervert who took drugs, chose girls you liked,

and acted out your perversions on them.

No.

- No, no. - Come with me.

Go on.

No.

Well...

No!

No.

How's this?

No!

Hirukawa's subordinates confined Mr. Hitomi to the institution.

Under Hirukawa's orders, the bald man

sought an opportunity to murder Mr. Hitomi.

But the reverse happened, and he was killed by Mr. Hitomi.

Mr. Hitomi escaped from the institution

and met Hatsuyo from the circus.

Hatsuyo mentioned that the lullaby was from the Japan Sea coastline.

That is when you, Hirukawa, threw your knife and killed her.

I found out that the circus impresario came from the Japan Sea coastline.

So I came here to the coast.

I found the resurrection of Genzaburo

to be suspicious, so I opened his grave.

I found his body without his white burial kimono.

Somebody was posing as Genzaburo and entered the Komoda family.

I infiltrated the household as a manservant.

I carefully staked out Chioko and Shizuko

to find out who was sending them threatening letters.

I discovered a secret compartment in Chioko's chair.

The suspect who sent the letters must have hidden in the chair,

and at times felt up Chioko's body through the chair

as he eavesdropped on the couple.

The only one who would do such a thing

is a perverted man such as you, Hirukawa.

Your perversions were discovered by Shizuko.

There is a murderer in the Komoda family.

The night that Chioko was killed,

I saw a shadowy figure in the rafters.

There was an opening to the attic.

Shizuko, you performed an elaborate trick.

You sent yourself a threat.

Your were in a position to write the details.

To raise credibility, you also sent a letter to Chioko.

From the attic, you lowered a thread into the mouth of Genzaburo.

You poured down poison...

to ironic consequences.

- Chioko. What's wrong? - I'm sick.

- Chiokol Chiokol - Darlingl

You both threatened. You both lured.

You both conspired to bring down the Komoda family.

You used Genzaburo's death

and worked to have his younger brother go missing.

With the two of them gone,

Shizuko, you were the sole inheritor of the Komoda fortune.

You conspired with Hirukawa

and went after the remaining Komoda family fortune.

Is there any fault in my logic?

Hirukawa, you bastard. You know what happens

when you double-cross me.

Forgive me. I was a diligent worker.

This was all Shizuko's doing.

Don't think you can be a do-gooder now.

Don't.

I am still a loyal subordinate.

I worked hard to send women to this island.

Don't shoot.

Shoot her.

She's the bad one.

Don't. Please.

Save me!

Stop your whining.

I will deform both of you as I see fit.

- Don't, don't. - Please don't, uncle.

- I don't believe this. - Watch out.

Uncle.

Are you serious?

The water will end your life!

Drink plenty of it!

Hirosuke, this time you have to obey me.

I want you to build a statue of a horse-headed god

to protect this island.

It will have three heads and eleven tails.

It is to be crowned with a living horse's head.

It has been my dream for 30 years.

Use living human flesh to build it.

That's insane. You are insane.

I won't build such a thing.

There will never be greater a challenge

for a medical graduate.

Jogoro, forget your evil dreams.

Mr. Hitomi, undo Toki's chains.

What?

Don't get in the way.

I took out the bullets.

Damn it.

Jogoro, give up.

Let's go, hurry.

Wait!

Hey!

Come any closer and the island will become a sea of fire.

Mother.

I'll come back for you.

Mother.

Are you all right?

Mother, hand this to Mr. Akechi.

Jogoro, you don't intend to kill all the innocent people in this island?

I just might.

My dreams have been shattered.

Calm down.

Your wife has been punished enough,

and her children as well.

The pain of seeing her children for the first time in over 20 years

and having her shame revealed by you,

the feelings of the children that found out...

Think about that.

And there is the sad love between you two.

A love that was lost.

I was a cruel man.

- Wait. Please wait. - Madam.

It's not his fault.

It is all my sin.

Madam, where are Hirosuke and Hideko?

They said they would come back for me and went off.

They left this for you.

"Even though we are siblings, we cannot part.

"It is a forbidden love, but our love burns even brighter.

"We want to end in a beautiful way,

"like a quick burst of fireworks in the sunset.

"We will embrace atop the fireworks mortar.

"We will scatter magnificently across the great sky.

"I ask from the bottom of my heart

"to please care for my poor mother.

Farewell."

Darling.

Madam...

Jogoro!

Darling.

Toki...

Darling.

Toki.

I'm so sorry.

Darling?

Why?

Forgive me.

I blamed you.

But I could never forget you

for even one night.

Darling, it was my fault.

Because of me...

you and I...

and everybody...

all of us suffered.

I'm sorry.

Darling.

You truly forgive me?

Yes.

Darling.

Darling.

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!
