I thought you were leaving today.

Abuela asked me to stay a couple more days

to dig up a garden for her.

And last week she asked you to stay just long enough to patch the roof.

Do you want me to leave?

No. No, no, of course not.

I don't know what I want.

A couple of days, then I'll be out of your hair.

Hola.

Here. Abuela's worried you'll be cold.

Thank you.

Any luck?

Nothing yet.

I wrote letters to all the camps,

but if the courts shut them down,

I don't think I'll ever find him.

At least your parents could go home.

I'll leave you alone.

You could stay.

If you wanted.

Being out here,

it reminds me...

Of all those things I said.

The house.

The acre.

You must've thought I was crazy.

No.

I never did.

J'j'

Next!

- Where's major Bowen? - He was called to Washington, D.C.

Very suddenly. He seemed concerned.

He may be away for a while.

Who is your sponsor, corbett Delaney?

He's the owner of the California canning company.

I'll be his gardener.

Can you garden?

Yes. Very well.

Your reparation.

For your return.

Twenty-five dollars...

Apiece. And a ticket home.

Good luck to you.

Next.

So when are we going to process your leave of camp papers?

I don't know yet. I don't have a job lined up.

And with major Bowen gone to Washington, I...

The major came back today.

- He did? - Bowen: Konnichiwa.

Well, as a matter of fact, there he is.

George.

Miss yoshida.

How was Washington, sir?

Usual routine.

Never thought I'd say it, but I kinda missed the cooking around here.

Swipe a little plate from you? Thank you.

Thanks so much.

- It's still early. - Shh.

Abuela will wake up any second.

- If she catches us... - Luz, it's been weeks.

How long are we going to pretend she doesn't know?

She doesn't know.

And unless you have a better idea...

Actually... I do.

All: Amen.

Dofia Maria.

- Walt! - Welcome home, Walt.

Bowen: 442nd infantry. All Japanese.

More came from this center than any other.

We're not like the other outfits.

We build patriots.

I will get your bed ready.

Thank you, okasan.

Hey, hi, so...

- Did you get my letter? - I got the gist.

Look, um, I'm sorry about Ken,

but you shouldn't have sent that tape to Washington.

Well, Bowen's back, acting as if nothing's wrong,

so apparently they never even got it.

Amy, you know, a guy like that, the rules don't apply to him.

If someone in his circle found out what you did...

Bowen: It's an honor to have you back, lieutenant yoshida.

It's been a rough couple of months around here.

Your visit is what the doctor ordered.

We're all so proud of you.

Isn't that right, sis?

Absolutely.

Well, come on! Tell me how you been!

Uh, I've been great, sir.

Just drumming up some new recruits.

Bowen: Well, we've got some eager young men for you.

It was a beautiful service.

I wish we could've held it in a proper church,

with more family.

From both sides.

It's better this way, mijo.

The fewer people who know you're here,

the better it is for everyone.

Policia? At this hour?

- Chester, go. - Luz...

- Do what she says. Hurry. - Go.

Close the door. Go.

Go.

Go.

Good evening, ma'am.

Aguayo county sheriffs.

Sorry to bother you so late. May we come in?

Abuela: There must be some kind of mistake!

What is it?

My father's missing.

Chester: No one saw anything?

Luz: Nothing.

And all I left for him was a note.

Abuela?

Your father was not one to just disappear.

He's always responsible, punctual. You know that.

Luz: No one knows what happened.

He could still be alive.

There is only one way to know for sure if he has crossed over.

Abuela, no.

What is she talking about?

She's a curandera.

It's a very old magic.

My family believes in it.

Do you believe in it?

Ibeheve...

There's more to the world than any of us will ever understand.

Does this mean you can speak to the dead?

No.

But we can discover if someone's spirit

is still among the living.

It's an old belief

that when a person passes on,

there's some part of their spirit that remains in their bones,

in their hair...

In pictures as well.

An image captures a moment in a spirit's life.

Curanderismo can take us to where bartolo sat

when he took this picture...

But only if he is dead.

If it fails,

then we know he is still alive.

But none of us are going to do it.

Why not?

Abuela: Mijo, we can use the magic, but we can't control it.

Some who've used it to cross over never return.

Others... never want to.

There must be a mistake.

My father is alive. He can't just disappear like this.

You believe that, don't you?

I hope he's still alive.

But...

But what?

The curanderismo,

this magic...

I want to try it.

Man: All right, next.

What's your name?

The 442 is the finest regiment in the U.S. army.

Are you ready to help us win this war?

Yes, sir.

Then we're happy to have you.

Now, get to your physical, soldier.

Here you go.

You've been making me coffee for so long,

I figured I'd return the favor.

It's not going to drink itself.

Thank you. It's still a bit hot.

0h, um...

Have you found a sponsor yet so you can be released?

No. Not yet.

Let me see what I can do about that. It's the least I can do.

I'm sure that's cool enough to drink now.

You enjoy.

Toshiro: Walt.

Toshiro. What are you doing here?

Iturned 18 last month. I'm old enough to enlist.

Listen, um...

Anywhere that's too dangerous to send the white soldiers,

they send us instead.

The guys in my unit are, uh,

dying faster than they can be replaced.

That's why I'm here.

You tell all the recruits that?

Toshiro, with all respect, this isn't for you.

I know all of you act like I'm still a kid,

but all I've seen is people die around me...

My mom, my dad, my friends.

I graduated high school in a goddamn prison.

So help me, but all I want to do is kill.

If you won't take my form, I'll go find someone who will.

Bowen: Ah, miss yoshida, there you are.

I need you to come with me.

I'm sorry?

Supply truck broke down with all the drinks and party favors.

I don't think I understand.

We're throwing a bit of a shindig, but it's kind of top secret.

We're celebrating the homecoming of your brother,

and, well, folks like you who are getting to leave the camp.

I spoke to my old lieutenant colonel in long beach,

and he needs a new secretary.

He's willing to sponsor you for your release.

Oh, uh, thank you. I, um...

But we can't have a party without the proper supplies.

Sometimes I like to drive just for the peace and quiet.

For hours at a time.

Nothing or no one around for miles.

Just me and the clean, fresh air.

How much further?

Not sure.

Been out here for three years,

and I still don't know my way around.

There you go.

Right up there.

Amy! Major Bowen! Thanks.

We would have been out here all night.

Come on, fellas. Let's get these supplies unloaded.

We're gonna have a party tonight!

Abuela: Taking this journey,

carrying the eye of your spirit to the other side,

you may feel like you are dying yourself.

Chester: I understand.

Luz: My husband has little regard for his own life.

If I can go to my brother,

- meet him... - That would mean he's dead.

But at least I'd know.

If you meet your brother...

It will be him at the moment of this picture.

A little boy.

He will not know he is dead.

Look for your brother, jirou.

Rejoice if you do not find him.

Grieve, grieve if you do.

Amen.

J'j'

Jirou...

Do I know you?

No.

I don't think you do.

Are you jirou?

How do you know?

Lucky guess, I suppose.

My name is...

Taizo.

The nuns said that was my brother's name.

Do you know what happened to him?

They said a family took him when we were babies,

when I was still at the hospital.

I guess he was just luckier.

Hey, do you like baseball?

Do the other kids play with you?

They think I'm cursed.

And I'm always sick.

The nuns say I'll get better if I pray enough.

I'm sure you will.

Then you'll get to play.

I'll never get to play.

I can't even throw the ball right.

I bet you can.

Show me.

First pitch.

Lou gehrig's up to bat.

Swing and a miss. Strike one.

Good, jirou... good.

Strike two.

What's happening?

Jirou: Taizo?

Are you okay?

Chester! Wake up!

Jirou...

I'm... your mother.

I... I don't understand.

You... you're hurting me.

I felt her. She's here.

Who is here?

Oh, god.

Chester, wait!

- Wait! - Jirou!

Jirou!

That wind...

That was you, wasn't it?

You were always with me.

And now you're gone.

I saw jirou.

I led her there, and she took him.

She took my brother.

Who took him?

My... mother.

Yu ko.

J“ I dream of you j'

I more than you dream I do I

I how can iprove to you I

j“ this love is real I

j' you're mean to me I

I more than you mean to be j“

I you just can't seem to see I

j' the way I feel... j“

I think this is the first time I've seen you relax since I've been back.

I was so certain Bowen was out to get me.

What changed your mind?

This, I guess.

I didn't think he was really going to throw a party.

For us.

Ken wanted this day to come so bad.

This...

He would've found it all so dumb.

Yeah.

Yeah, I bet he'd really roll his eyes

if he saw you dance with your stupid brother.

J“ I dream of you j'

Miss yoshida...

You've had too much to drink.

When I was a young officer,

I was taught discipline.

Watch what you do.

What you say.

What you eat...

And what you drink.

But most of all,

they taught me to watch who I trusted.

I will never forget

the day you and your mother walked into my office.

She sat down,

and looked me right in the eye,

and she said that you wanted to help your country

during a time of war.

And I believed her.

And I believed you.

And then...

Bowen on recording: Some dogs you just have to put down.

It's safer this way.

Trust me.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

He didn't leave you any more choice than he left me.

Oh...

I knew you were one of the good ones.

I always trusted you.

The wra did receive the reel,

sent anonymously, just as you planned.

But, thankfully,

an old buddy of mine from my officer training days

was in the office when it came in,

and, thankfully, that buddy's a loyal man.

A patriot, if you will.

Now, miss yoshida,

if you'll just control yourself,

perhaps we can discuss the current situation

and how we're going to handle it

and our potential future together.

Help! Help me!

I gave you a chance!

Go ahead and scream all you want!

Nobody can hear you.

We're underground.

In block 36.

They're all the way across camp.

They can't hear shit.

And to think...

I was this close to regretting

that this camp ever existed.

God damn it!

Try to maintain a functioning electrical grid

out here in the middle of nowhere...

And then...

As you were all softening me up,

you showed your true colors.

Nakayama attacking my mps.

Ken, ol' lover boy, takes me hostage...

You miss him, don't you?

You miss his touch.

Go to hell!

I really liked you, Amy.

Hell...

I still do.

Chester: She said she wanted me and my brother

to live with her in her perfect world.

Your mother's spirit is following you?

She tracked me to guadalcanal,

and now she's here.

You knew this, and you kept it from me?

- Even when my father was missing? - Luz, it's been two years.

We thought we destroyed her at the camp.

I thought it was all over.

I thought we were over.

After all you'd been through, how could I tell you?

Yuko was my midwife.

She was kind to me.

Why would a spirit do that?

I don't know.

Did she kill my father?

It's... it's possible.

The wedding photos.

This blur.

It's a sign that yuko's spirit is controlling someone.

Possessing them.

Yuko was at the wedding?

Chester, this is dofia Maria.

When's the last time either of you saw her?

People are going to notice I'm missing.

My friends, my family, they'll come looking for me.

And in a few days, I'm sure they'll find you.

I swear to god this place is haunted.

Of course it's haunted.

All the Japanese know that.

What are you mumbling about?

The yurei.

The wandering spirit.

You've seen her, haven't you?

What did yuko do to you?

Yuko? That's her name?

She's from my island.

I can tell you all about her.

Shut up. You're lying.

They say she likes dark, hidden places.

Should I call yuko down here?

Or maybe just let her possess one of us.

You shut your mouth.

I'm not falling for any of your voodoo bullshit.

Goddamn this camp.

Dona Maria's dead.

Yuko killed her.

She was holding this.

Yuko...

She knows.

She knows what?

She's not here for you.

I'm pregnant.

She's come for our baby.

J'j'
