Unforgiven (Yurusarezaru mono) (許されざる者)

As Edo gave way to the Meiji era, the end of the samurai was nigh and the new

government hunted down remnants of the Shogunate into Ezo, the untamed north

and the defeated had nowhere to hide.

1869 Year 2 of Meiji Era

If you come upon a bear in the wild, stare it directly in the eyes.

You have to figure out whether or not it's your enemy.

What sort of beast am I...

I'd rather not fight if I don't have to

It's just in my character

If they understand

"I, too, can die",

people and animals will both become desperate.

No one wants to die.

There's an inborn instinct for survival.

Long ago, I was hunting the remnants of the Shogunate throughout Ezo

and I saw the ceremonial bear sacrifice at an Ainu village.

A bear they raised from a cub

was sacrificed to the gods...

beheaded.

It was a disgusting ceremony.

They ganged up to kill the bear...

Being a bear, it went wild.

You could see the panic in it's eyes...

These people I've been close to

have turned on me...

From here to Sapporo is 200 miles.

There's more bears than people around here.

But the funny thing is...

an uncivilized land...

attracts sneaky rats.

Rats only destroy small homes,

until they become bears.

What is it?

Some boys're causin' problems with the whores over at Kihachi's place

They're asking for the sheriff…

Sorry 'bout troubling you

I just couldn't handle it That Kihachi…

He was about to kill them boys

What about the newbies?

Bring 'em along to the welcome party

Got it

Washiro Village, Hokkaido

She dying?

When she seen his teensy little pecker she giggled.

Cut their heads off.

Whose is this?

You boys are from Sendai?

Give me the stick

A beating's all they get after what they done?

What?

Ain't there a better way to handle this?

Okaji!

Sheriff

Here's a contract between me and the cut whore.

I paid to bring her in here...

Now nobody's going to pay good money for a cut-up whore!

Damaged property?

Like if I hamstrung one of their ponies.

Leastways, she don't cost as much as a horse...

You boys

Guess you want no trial, no fuss?

You'd surely do some hard time...

Spend all your time working the railroad...

If you want to avoid that...

Bring in some ponies to Kihachi

You've got 6 whores, right?

Yup

3 head each, that's 6 horses

Bring them in before winter

Yessir

We're done here

Hold on!

That ain't fair!

Okaji, that's enough!

Go tend to Natsume.

We're just the same as horses or cattle?

I can't believe you.

Calm down, Okaji.

Lots of folks come through this town.

Prospectors or dirt-poor samurai come wandering in.

But...

it ain't like they was bad men.

They were just hardworking boys that were foolish.

They just sometimes need the comfort of a woman.

So sorry!

These samurai probably got some friends.

If we go any further, we may get trouble.

The time of the samurai is at its end!

"Sheriff"...what a joke!

Haven't you seen enough blood tonight?

Let go of me!

Let go…

Where you gonna start?!

Chest? Gut? Or maybe…

to kill him quick, right here in the neck!

- Let go of me! - Or...

cut his little thing off!

Forgive me…

because of…

all this…

Just cause we're whores...

You're lucky to be alive.

Dammit…

Them fools ride us like horses...

doesn't mean we let them treat us like horses.

Are we just going to cry about it?

By God,

we ain't horses!

..:UNFORGIVEN:..

Hold on…

Look who's still alive!

Long time, no see, Jubei Kamata!

The name that even made the elite Shogun's soldiers shake in fear,

"Jubei the Killer"

Killed Kondo in Satsuma?

Killed the whole posse in Yubari?

You have me confused with someone

You forget your old pal?

It's me, Jubei...

Kingo Baba.

I heard a rumor you were alive in well in Sapporo,

but I didn't believe it til now.

As you see,

now I'm just a farmer.

I think my only piece of luck was

that I never made an enemy out of you.

There was a bad time when I thought of you as an ally...

the kind of person that kills in cold blood.

You didn't come all this way

just to reminisce.

I'm headed to Washiro,

to kill two no-good men.

How about being my partner?

For what?

For cutting up a lady.

Well...

not so much a "lady" as a whore.

There's a bounty on them...

for $1,000.

Is the law paying that?

What... no.

It's the whores' money.

Saving the money they got from humping.

How bout we split it two ways?

Come on, Jubei.

Kill those boys with me.

The two of us, it should be easy killing them.

I can't...

Half don't interest you?

$500 could really help you out.

I promised my wife I wouldn't kill no more.

Jubei,

have you thought about it?

If we had beaten the imperial Army, what do you think we'd be doing now?

Come on…

This'll be the last one. Come with me.

I can talk to your wife for you.

She's passed on.

Been gone near three years now.

Forget it.

Jubei, people don't change that easily.

No matter how hard you try, you can't forget the past.

I'll ride due north towards Big Snowy Mountain.

Change your mind, you could catch me.

Pa!

Pa…

There ain't nothing to eat.

Put some flowers on your ma's grave.

Take care of your sister, son.

Kill a few chickens if you must.

If you have any problem, go to the Ainu village.

Alright...

Okay... wait... whoa...

She ain't a saddle horse no more, ain't used to it.

I'll be back in 2 weeks.

No, please!

Get off!

Somebody… please help!

- Sanosuke... - Somebody... help!

Sanosuke, cut it out!

Is this funny, whore?

Huh?

Sanosuke!

Laugh...

- No! Please! - Laugh!

Took you boys a while.

A few more days and I was going to call on the sheriff.

The river was all swelled up. Couldn't cross it.

Now here's a beauty.

This skin ain't yours.

Guess I didn't say deerskin, too.

Get out of here!

Bastards! Get out of town!

Get out! Get out!

Wait... wait... Hold on...

Just hold on, please...

I brung this here...

for the lady my partner cut.

We don't need your goddamn charity!

If you were really sorry, you'd be handing over your balls!
