Original subtitles

There was bakimono at funeral.

You know bakimono?

What do we do next?

We can forget.

Your citizen boy, fight for your country.

I am not a spy.

I am a simple fisherman.

I love this country.

I am not a spy.

I am a simple fisherman.

I love this country.

This order is bullshit, Marlon.

Maybe it is.

Maybe it ain't.

Everyone has to be out by nightfall either way. When can we come back?

The island is naval property now.

Also, I have to confiscate anything that might be spy equipment.

Radios, flashlights, cameras. Come on, Marl.

We get plastered together at Wadath.

My mom washed your uniform after you threw up on it.

If I was a spy, wouldn't you know it by now?

You're lucky it's me.

Some of these MPs would love to see you have an accident.

You know, like Stan Grichuk.

It's a good thing I'm not a drunk who just got fired from this job.

Do you at least know where they took my dad?

Wherever he is, he's safer there.

We've got room.

You

believe it?

I'm starting to.

Maybe in L.A. we could see that loose girl again.

She's moved on.

So have I.

Water under the Badger Avenue Bridge.

Here, let me get the rest.

Okay, big man.

Just the one suitcase?

Your fathers.

Did not

think

I would like it here at first.

Okay, everyone.

Let's see what we can find in the city.

Please.

They still have vacancies. Maybe we should get separate rooms from Asako and

Chester.

No. No.

No.

No.

Hey,

keep it moving.

It's a spell.

To avoid ghosts.

How about you?

Ghosts? Here?

You don't think this place is haunted?

Look at Tsuruya.

Do you think all the demons are still in hell?

Tsuruya is possessed by a ghost.

Hey, Jets.

Slow down.

You can hardly keep up.

Are you here on Wednesdays now?

Well, usually I'm with Irv and Hitoshi, but they switched me.

We not see them for days.

Well, then I guess it's lucky I'm on Wednesdays now.

Chester. Did you drop out? I haven't seen you since Pearl Harbor.

Yeah. I brought back your enlarger.

Well, thanks. You didn't have to do that.

I was also wondering what you thought of these.

There's been a few funerals on Terminal Island lately, and some more of the

pictures that I took turned out like this.

What am I doing wrong?

Well, if you ask my old professor, he'd say it's a combination of a slow shutter

and a shaky hand.

If you ask my Jewish mother...

She'd say you've been taking photos of things you shouldn't be.

But I asked you.

Well, I say a picture captures a photographer's relationship to the world

around him.

And with everything that's been going on right now, it's no surprise that yours

are coming out a little disturbed.

It's a tough time, Chester.

I can only imagine what this is like for you right now.

Thank you, Professor.

I appreciate it.

Hey.

Good to see you.

How have you been?

So when were you going to tell me?

Nine months from now? Nine years? This is my mess.

My mistake.

I need to take care of it myself.

Then why didn't you take the medicine?

Because of my mom.

Your mom?

Isn't she? Yeah.

From giving birth to me.

She lost too much blood.

The story my abuela tells is that all she had time to do was name me,

hold me, and say goodbye.

Jesus.

My mother died so I could live.

All my life I've been trying to live up to her sacrifice.

I was going to be a nun, a nurse, a perfect daughter.

And then you come along and I think, why do you have to be perfect?

I should have known better.

After my mother died, my abuela gave this to me.

She said that this led to my mother watching over me.

Crazy, right?

But I can't shake the feeling that

she is right.

Nothing in this world is an accident.

There is always someone watching, judging, punishing.

Does your family know?

Despite being deeply Catholic, neither my father or my brother took the news

with much mercy or grace.

Then let me help.

How?

Do you have a job now?

Do you have a decent place for me to stay?

I'm working at St. Jerome Orphanage.

Baby's going to grow up there until I can't afford to raise a child myself.

You're putting our kid in an orphanage?

Yes, sir.

It's not romantic.

It's not inspiring.

But at least...

I am a simple fisherman.

I love this country.

Nakayama, up!

I am not a spy.

I am a simple fisherman.

I love this country.

I am not a spy.

Let's go.

I'm not a spy.

What's the next part?

I'm a simple fisherman.

Who is probably transporting fuel to the Emperor's warship.

Is that why your boss was killed?

To figure out what you're up to? I don't know why Mr. Grichuk died.

Right, right, right. Because you're just a simple fisherman.

Now prove it.

I don't know how to hide fish.

Well, it looks like you'll need some luck.

Yuko, the Japanese girl who works here.

Darling, I haven't had a Japanese girl work for me in years.

I swear she was here.

She read my future in that room.

I don't know what you imagined yourself, but there is no Yuko here.

Hey, buy another drink.

Be safe when you leave, hon.

A client to look after.

Right?

Now, can I move?

Mom?

We can make two suitcases.

Only two.

Do we pack?

Will they be cold?

They don't have nothing.

It's going to be okay.

We have 48 hours.

We can pack up clothes and other essentials.

Then we should sell off everything else.

Who knows what's at the track.

It won't hurt to have extra cash.

I can ask my photography professor to hold on to it.

We're going to be fine.

you'd probably say it's about time.

Does it hurt?

I think.

Doctors say that if you pinch really hard on the inside of the arm, it can

hurt enough to distract you from the pain on your knee.

Ready? I guess so.

Okay.

Close your eyes.

This is gonna hurt.

Ow!

Ow!

Ow!

Feeling better?

Yeah? Go on.

Be careful, okay?

She wants me to go, all right?

Her name's Alice.

Where are you taking her?

Hey, Ma.

Tomoko. Everything's going to be all right. We've got a Saito, a Suzuki, a

Watanabe, and two Yamamotos coming with us.

The Yamamoto's our baby.

It's for security.

Who is?

Who are these children I've read to?

Alice, listen to me.

You're going to be okay.

They're not going to hurt you.

These people are on our side.

Hey, can you be careful, please?

It's going to be okay.

Everything's going to be okay, guys.

What about the unborn?

Excuse me?

If a child's born during the war, what happens to it?

Anyone with even one drop of Jap blood's got to go.

Take it up with Colonel Bendison.

Hey, where are these children's parents?

They don't have any. They're from St. Jerome.

Every Jap has to report.

We mean it.

Mom, this may not be the best

time to tell you this, but I've been going with someone.

Her name is Luz O'Hara. Her family's from Mexico.

Ma, look at me.

Luz is pregnant.

She's going to have my baby.

Why'd you tell me now?

Because I can't go in there with you.

I can't abandon Luz or the baby.

I have to help them.

Me and Oto-san are your family. It is the government order. Look, I messed up.

I should have told you and Pop earlier. I shouldn't have gone sneaking around

hoping things would just work out on their own.

That's why I have to go now.

Come, Toshiro.

We must not behave as if the world is meant to spin around us.

Excuse me, where do we stay?

What's your numbers?

742 on the 740.

700's that way.

Then we have work to do.

Hey, sorry to barge in. Chester, what are you doing here?

Are you okay?

Soldiers were here.

They rounded up all the Japanese kids.

I know. That's why I came. They said just one drop of Japanese blood and...

I don't know what to do.

You're living here?

I told you, my father didn't take the news well.

You can't stay here.

If the soldiers come back after the baby's born, they'll take it away. We

need to get you out of state as soon as we can. Thanks for the concern, Chester.

But now's not the time for a month like Chester, okay? It's not meant to be.

I'm trying to save this baby, which, whether you like it or not, is ours.

I have my father's car and plenty of fuel rations.

And I've already called my professor. We figured out the best route out of state.

They're taking babies, Luz.

We gotta do something.

Don Ciro, can you take this out?

Hey,

there you are.

Sorry about that.

Come on, Toshiro.

Our faith.

It's all I see.

She looks at me.

Expecting something.

Wanting something.

Who? She. What should I know?

Some woman on the street.

When do we go back in? When we have enough firewood.

This woman.

She speak?

Tell her.

Niku Okada here.

What do you want?

Nikogata? That young Inoko at our table.

Yamato-san imagines him to be an obake or yurei.

Which one Nikogata touch?

Disappear.

Maybe we next.

Something has followed us.

Perhaps someone has been out of line.

Rising of trouble.

It couldn't be you, could it?

Cold making us superstitious old woman.

Let's go back inside.

We made it. Thank you for this, Professor Hancock.

Oh, Phil, no need for honorifics. Let's get you inside.

You two can stay in my guest room.

It'll take a few days for the chaos to die down and you can move on. Thank you.

We need to find some place where I can find work and where Luce can get medical

care. What kind of work?

Doesn't matter.

Mechanical, factory, whatever pays the bills.

Maybe in New Mexico?

I do have some fellow travelers who live outside of Santa Fe.

Let me give them a call.

I guess you do have a plan.

Or at least your professor does.

The bed's probably too small for the both of us anyway.

Right?

Put it down and keep your stomach covered.

What's your name, son?

FBI.

We got a tip a Japanese man was evading the federal order to evacuate.

You need to come with us.

Don't stand up.

Who's this?

My girl.

Don't worry, we're not married.

No laws are broken.

It's okay, ma'am.

The Japanese we're concerned about.

What? Luce, please wait.

Luce, get back inside.

I'm coming with you. We told you we're only concerned about the Japanese.

That's why you need to take me too.

I'm carrying one.

Mom.

Just changed your mind?

The FBI kind of changed it for me.

This is Luz.

Luz, this is my mother.

I apologize for the mess.

I wish we had a proper home to welcome it.

Fellas, over here.

This time catch enough for us, too.

We're not the only ones who are sick of bread and paste.

I hope I don't bring bad luck.

Neku, you believe in bakemono?

Bakemono. Shape-shifting spirits.

Yeah, I know, I know. My grandmother believed in it.

Is there a bakemono among us?

Doing what? Make men like Imamura and Nakamura in Tokyo.

Don't be ridiculous.

There's no such thing as bakemono.

Whoa, hey!

That's exactly what Bakemono may be saying. Hey, wait, please.

What the hell are you doing?

Why are you here?

Same as you. I have to be here. What happened to Imamura? I don't know. What

kind of spirit are you?

God damn it, I'm not a spirit.

Please,

please. You old idiots are going to kill me. Admit what you are.

Okay.

I'm not a Bakemono.

I'm working for the DOJ, Justice Department.

I was hired to find spies, enemies of the state, but I couldn't find any. So

you fed them names so you could keep this job.

Names of loyal men.

You're a traitor to your own people.

To your country.

Stop! Please!

It is not our decision to make.

It is for the spirits that inhabit this land.

Wherever we are.

North Dakota.

We're in North Dakota.

Then I hope the spirits of North Dakota treat you more kindly than you've

treated us.

Hey.

Hey, wait.

Come back, please.

Please come. Please come back. Help me, please.

Help me.

I can't move.

You brought her here. She brought herself.

Her family's disowned her. At least with us, she's not alone.

You ever get the feeling you're being watched?

Yeah.

All the time.

A Japanese guy in the middle of a war with Japan.

Chester! Chester!

Chester, you have to go!

Are you okay?

Oh, shit.

Drop the weapon.

Drop the weapon.

Don't do this.

This is your last warning.

Put the gun down.

I don't understand.

Why would he do that?

I've known Yoshida-san my whole life.

I was nothing like him.

Amy, you need anything?

I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry.

Please let me help.

I can find a funeral home. What did my father say?

Why is he saying that you had to leave?

I don't know.

What? What evil?

I'm sorry, Chester.

Just... Just go.

Two suitcases per person.

These are my father's. You killed him. Two per person.

Thank you.

What's the point?

Ever used to believe in that old country star?

Buckingham. You need me to follow you.

The government, they see us as rats.

You sure it was an accident?

What else could it be?

What was it?

I felt something inside of me.
