Brother!

Chie!

Shut up!

Brother!

Brother!

Stop!

well?

The wheat field will become community land.

Any objections to me taking over the mulberries and silkworms?

- No, t-that's fine. R-right, everyone? - Right.

We'll make a decision about the wheat field at harvest time.

The Kebara son and daughter went mad due to the disease that runs in their blood.

We could report that to the government office and the police.

What about Ario's body?

He despaired of the world and decided to kill himself.

We'll pretend that he hanged himself. Something like that.

Well, we've got work left to do, so...

Let's decide on tomorrow's plan.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Freak!

- The Kebaras are all psychos! - Madness runs in their blood!

Tear down the house!

Chie!

Chie!

You old hag!

Bitch...

Your husband and son did the same to me!

Where's your husband?

Where is he?! Huh?! Where?!

He went to the town hall. He's not here.

When will he be back?

Not until evening. He has a meeting.

Ario-san...spare me!

In the mulberry field behind the house...

Don't...don't do it! Spare me!

If you want to scream, then scream!

- Let's take a break. - Alright.

Why didn't you help me?

Il...

I was being tormented. Why didn't you help me?

Unfortunately, I didn't die.

My husband has sympathy for you.

He said nothing was wrong with you.

Sympathy?

It's true. He spoke to the villagers.

He thought they would spare you.

It's true. But no matter how many times I told them it was for the good of the village...

It's too late!

- What about my sister? - It's true. Please listen.

Please.

Please spare us.

Why did you leave me half dead? Why did you rape my sister?!

Why?

- Because the Kebaras have madness in their blood?! - LL.

Speak!

They all had a discussion and made the decision. It wasn't me. It was my father.

You bastards just wanted to kill my sister and I and take our fields for your own. Right?

You know what's going to happen now? I'm going to have my revenge.

- I'm going to do the same thing to you! - Wait!

I was killed yesterday. I'm no longer a living man!

Some things can't be forgiven.

What about my sister?

Take a good look.

Please listen to us.

Forgive us.

Please, wait!

I beg you... I beg you... Please! It's true! Forgive us!

Stop!

Please! Stop! Stop!

Stop! Stop! Please! Stop!

It's true! Listen!

It's true! I didn't know! Spare me!

Stop, stop!

Stop, stop, stop!

Brother!

Brother!

Brother! Help me!

Brother!

Brother!

Brother! Help me!

Brother!

Brother! Help me!

Brother!

Brother!

Brother!

Brother!

Chie...

- Hey, come over here. - What is it?

Let's have some fun.

- What? It's the middle of the day. - Don't say that. Come on.

Fine. But Michiyo's going to be home from school soon, dear.

So we'll hurry.

Hurry, lie down.

Dear...

Does it feel good, dear?

Oh, god...

Oh, dear...

- Oh, dear... - Darling...

What are you doing, sneaking into someone's home? You're filthy. Get out, freak!

Murderer!

Murderer!

Spare me!

Spare me, spare me, spare me!

This grudge isn't just my own. It's also my sister's. Go to hell!

Murderer!

Do you want some water, brother?

Here.

- Do it! - What are you doing?!

Stop! No!

- Hold her! - You bastards!

Stop!

Damn it!

- What are you doing?! No! - What are you doing?!

Let me go!

Brother!

Tell me why!

- Bastard! - Let me go!

Let me go!

Cowards!

Don't let him go!

Don't torture him!

No, stop! No!

Brother!

No!

Please! Don't hit him! No!

Brother!

Please, stop! Please!

Brother!

Stop! Brother!

Stop!

Brother!

Brother!

Stop!

Please! Stop! Don't hit him!

Why are you doing this?

We had a consensus. No hard feelings.

My family was ostracized from the village because they had tuberculosis.

We quietly accepted that cruel treatment.

We still do! What more can we do?

Die for the benefit of us all.

- Die? - That's right.

The Kebara plague will soon be gone from this hamlet.

Heigo and Masaji want wives, but no one will send them where tuberculosis runs in the blood.

It causes trouble for both the brides-to-be and those looking for them.

But that's just a superstition.

Tuberculosis doesn't run in the blood. The doctor said it's infectious.

That...that's not what other villages think!

They call us freaks because you're here!

- Brother! - Do it.

Brother!

Brother! Brother!

Brother!

Brother!

Brother...

Stop! Stop!

- Stop! - Be quiet!

- Brother! Help me! - Hold her down.

Let me go!

Let me go!

Chie...

Chie!

Chie!

Stop...

No...

No.

But you'll be married soon.

- So... - I said no.

You did it with Masaji, didn't you?

So let me.

But everyone looks down on me for things like this.

They don't look down on you. Everyone says you're a great girl.

- Do you like me? - Yeah.

Don't tell anyone.

Hei-chan...

I like you...

I like you...

Hei-chan...

I'm inside...

That's right. It's the man who died yesterday.

They said you had no bride coming due to my family.

But Matsuko's here, isn't she?

Marry Matsuko.

But she does it with everyone...

Including you, right?!

P-Please, don't point that at me.

Promise to marry Matsuko.

1 will.

Good. Do it. Fuck her!

Listen, from now on you two are husband and wife.

You couldn't get a wife due to my family, and she wanted to be a bride.

So now we'll have a makeshift ceremony for the two of you.

Sound good?

Consummate your vow so that you have no reason to resent us.

Don't hold back. Fuck her!

F-Forgive me!

Fuck her!

-l can't! - Don't give me that!

What about when it was my sister?

You didn't hold back then!

well?!

Please!

It's my fault.

Forgive me!

I won't!

I won't spare you.

The brother's already dead so that will be easy.

- Killing his crazy sister Chie is a pity, though. - Yeah.

We'll say the two of them hanged themselves.

A government official or police officer will come take a look, right?

First we should get them drunk and then show them in the middle of the night. They'll never know.

We'll hang the sister after we kill her.

It'll be easy if we get the young ones to help.

It's still a shame we have to kill a good-looking girl like Chie though, right?

Chie...

Ch...Chie...

You...

It's me. Your big brother.

Chie!

I see...

I understand...

Damn it.

Damn it.

Such inhumanity...

I'll have my revenge on them.

I'll slaughter each and every person in this hamlet.

Sakuji? Heigo? Where are you?

Not here yet?

Are you alone?

You wouldn't know, would you?

Everyone's late.

Hey, come here. There's nothing to be afraid of.

I'll treat you nice.

You bastard!

You...

Sakuji and Heigo died instead of me.

I'll have you die in a fitting way too, of course.

Spare me...

And not just you. They'll all get what's coming to them.

Do you remember how many times you hit me?

I didn't hit you.

Liar!

Sp-sp-spare me...

You were going to make it seem like the two of us died in madness.

I'll slaughter every one of you before that happens.

Damn you!

It was never for the sake of the hamlet. You're just a bunch of greedy animals!

Die!

Brother...

Chie...

Brother!

Don't cry, don't cry. Everything's alright now.

I have to die!

Chie!

Chie!

Chie!

Brother...

Chie!

That's it.

It's over.

You were the one who had to live. Now...

...I'm all alone.

If only you hadn't died...

Mom told you to get along with me, didn't she?

Stupid, right?

No...

You didn't die. You were killed.

But...

...maybe you were happier this way.

We shouldn't have been born.

We were pathetic.

We didn't know a single pleasure.

We lived a life of unending torment.

I've had my fill.

I'll die after I finish my task.

Before I do, they will all come to understand this pain.

How many heartless things have they done?

Chie, why did you have to die?

I just slipped.

How dare you laugh at me?

Because it was funny when you fell and started flailing around.

- Take that, take that! - Ah, that's cold, that's cold! You missed me!

Take that!

Take that! Take that!

I've heard of guys fucking both a mother and daughter, but siblings fucking each other?

And in broad daylight, no less.

It must run strong in that lunatic blood.

If you two get carried away a monster will be born.

Well, will your brother be gentle?

He'll give it to her rough!

Freaks!

Confess already.

You know you're not supposed to go up on the hamlet's mountain.

But here you are making charcoal.

Y-Y-Y-You cut down trees from the m-m-mountain!

No! My son cut down trees from two mountains down.

Liar!

What are you doing?

- What? - Ario...

Perfect timing.

Where did this cedar tree come from?

The forest two mountains down.

Bullshit! You stole from community land. Even though we kicked you out...

No! It's really from the forest two mountains down!

It's true. It's just like my brother says.

- Shut up! - Stop!

Please stop! Please stop!

Please stop!

Stop!

Come on, Mom!

The next time we catch you making charcoal, we'll find out for sure where the tree came from.

Got it? Make sure you don't forget.

Come on, Mom!

Are you alright?

Mom!

- Are you alright? - Mom!

Come on!

It's alright. You two get along.

Chie, listen to what your brother says.

Mom!

It's alright. I know I don't have much time left.

Try to avoid the people in the hamlet if you can.

Nothing else will happen if you do that. Alright?

Alright.

Mom!

Mom!

Damn it!

Mom!

Murderers! You'll get what's coming to you before long.

Listen, Chie. Remember this moment well.

The people in the hamlet are savages. Beasts.

Chie, don't cry anymore.

Crying won't bring Mom back to life.

Chie...

They don't just hate us.

We're in their way.

They want to take our charcoal hut, mulberry field, and wheat field all for their own.

It's nothing but greed.

Tuberculosis doesn't run in the blood.

We were able to live a healthy life.

We were ostracized by everyone, but I wasn't a bit lonely.

Those... Those...

Bastards...

Look! They tried to kill me, but I couldn't be killed.

They'll get what's coming to them before long. Each and every one of them. I'm not afraid.

I'll have my revenge.

Die!

We're almost there.

- It's my first time out here. - Thanks for your help.

- And for coming all this way. - Not at all.

You only need to take a quick look, though. I've got business later.

- Need a break? - No, it's just a bit farther. Let's go.

What's wrong? I told them to come greet us.

Damn you!

Sakuji!

Are you there?

Hey!

Die!

Die!

Spare me!

Die! Die!

Spare me!

Damn you!

Die!

Hey! Is anyone there? Hey!

Hey!

- But who? Maybe... - Was there a fight? Or a war...

Katsu, are you there? Katsu!

Katsu!

Katsu...

Katsu!

We have to go. We have to report this.

It was you?!

Stop resisting! Just let me tie you up!

You wouldn't understand a thing, you bastard.

They tried to kill me. They all raped my sister. How could you understand?

How dare you speak to me like that!

Shut up!

You damned freak!

Greedy old geezer!

Do you finally understand how I feel? Damn you!

You bastard!

Look! How is the color of your blood any different than mine?!

What was it you said ran in my blood?!

Die!
