Shut up!

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.
