I've lived in Japan for 25 years now.
I like to collect rare objects.
Ainu items, in particular.
That garment is one of my favorites.
That dress belonged to my great-aunt.
Her son-in-law sold it to you for 30 yen and disappeared.
I'd like it back. I'll pay you.
30 yen?
Odd, I'm pretty sure it was 100 yen.
Say, Dunn,
do you know what starts a war?
It starts when a negotiation falls apart,
due to ridiculous demands.
I'll give you the seal garment for 30 yen, if you get rid of a monster.
A monster?
Eddy, it's done it again!
This is where the horse was attacked.
The trail of blood leads into the woods.
This track...
Look, something's over there!
That's it!
That's the monster!
It's not a monster.
It's a brown bear!
A reddish-furred brown bear is carrying the horse.
Shoot, Sugimoto. My bow can't reach that far.
Move, Shiraishi!
Your ass is on my face!
You barely scratched it. It ran because it was startled.
Damn it.
So the monster was that reddish-furred brown bear.
Anyway, why was it carrying the horse like that?
By carrying the prey on its back, it can get away more easily.
It drags its prey deep into the woods to have its meal.
It may be smart, but it's still a bear.
I accept your deal.
Once that brown bear is killed, the seal dress is mine.
This is the monster's claw.
Last winter, I shot this claw off his paw.
Its claw?
Yes, the track we saw had all its digits intact.
Also, last summer I shot out one of its eyes.
But the bear that ate my horse had both eyes.
I call that reddish-furred brown bear a monster
because its body parts seem to regenerate, whether I blast off the claws or eyes.
That beast is immortal.
He's an immortal bear.
If you think you can hunt it down, then be my guest.
Shiraishi, don't come. You're clumsy and will only get in our way.
Go south through this forest, and find an abandoned farmhouse.
No one will mind, if you wait there.
Kiroranke, will you come with me?
MONSTER
Asirpa.
I don't care about how many of this American's horses get killed.
Isn't this a waste of time?
What else am I to do?
Kill the American and take back that dress?
A seal dress is worn during wedding ceremonies.
I don't want to stain it with blood if I can help it.
There's the farmhouse. All right.
-What? -Huh? What is it?
The bear was trying to carry this horse.
It fled all the way here.
Good boy. Come with us.
You want to bring this horse along?
It's the brown bear's victim.
A tenacious brown bear will track it down.
What? Then we need to leave this horse!
We have no weapons to fight the bear with.
Shut your trap!
I can't leave it here, knowing the bear will kill it!
Reddish fur...
Asirpa, look at this!
Reddish fur is scattered all around.
This must be the other horse that went missing last week!
What are you doing?
The bear will see me on his mound and will come charging at us.
Shiraishi, don't make any sudden movements.
No matter what, don't run.
That bald idiot!
Throw your belt down and keep running! Bears are afraid of snakes!
Hurry up, Shiraishi!
Wait for me!
What is going on?
What is happening?
There's a brown bear! Do you have a gun?
There's no gun here.
Shiraishi, help me with this.
Kiroranke.
Please, throw this horse out for the bear to eat.
Keep the bear's attention here, and Sugimoto will catch up by evening.
Ouch, ouch!
The horse is displaying affection. It likes you.
My head is bleeding though.
We'll block off the garden entrance. Remove the floor mats!
What is the meaning of this?
You... how'd you get in?
From the back door. Why?
Shit, we got to block that off too!
-It's just you? -Yes.
Why is there a horse in the living room?
A bear is right outside the house!
Hold on a minute, is this your house?
Yes, it is.
Interesting. Then who is this old geezer?
There it is!
It's missing an eye.
What? Another bear?
That clumsy fool!
We can't fight two bears at once. We have to run!
Hey, can you stand? Let's get out of here.
That bear was missing a claw.
That was the bear with the blasted paw!
It's nothing superstitious.
The reddish-furred brown bear wasn't immortal. There were two of them!
No, if that American was right,
there's a third bear that isn't hurt at all.
There are three brown bears.
Hey, old man. You got a hammer?
These heads... how long have they been here?
ROKU
Hey, what the hell is this about?
What are those?
Don't play dumb, geezer.
You reached this house before us. You knew these were here.
I stayed by the fireplace, so I didn't see. I'm telling the truth!
The housekeeper said this farmhouse is unoccupied.
Do you really live here?
I...
Which is it?
Which one of you followed me from Naganuma to kill me?
Shiraishi, are you there?
Sugimoto is here!
Over here! We've barricaded all other openings.
Be careful!
The reddish-furred bear is near the house!
There's the third bear.
Sugimoto, move slowly. Don't make any sudden movements.
-Geez! -I'll stall the bear!
Out of ammo!
Throw your belt, Sugimoto!
Jump, Sugimoto!
All right!
That was way too close.
Damn it, my ammo pouch!
Don't let go, Sugimoto.
-Is there a gun here? -Apparently, no.
Asirpa, where's your bow and arrows?
My bow is broken, and I dropped all my arrows.
What's wrong with you, klutz?
Who are you, men?
I'm Tatsuya Nakazawa.
The name's Kiichiro Wakayama.
And these decapitated heads?
These crooks wanted me to cheat at the horse race in Naganuma.
They paid for their failure with their lives. One of these two killed them.
Take your clothes off.
The yakuza member after Kiroranke's life will have tattoos.
We'll have him retrieve the ammo pouch.
What? My bayonet!
So, that's it.
You led that bear here.
If you don't take care of it,
I'll slice you up and feed you to the bear.
So, Ainu man.
Thanks to you, I lost a fortune on the horse race.
So, you're the horse owner's boss.
You cut off these heads to threaten me!
Or to instill fear before killing you.
Everyone, cut it out.
Our priority is getting out of here alive!
Fine, the young lady is right.
Let's call a truce.
But either way, someone needs to go get the ammo pouch.
I'm a yakuza gambler.
These dice will decide who goes, you or me.
-Let's do it. -First, let me inspect the dice.
Oh, shit.
There they are.
They are legit dice, all right.
Damn right they are.
For the dealer... Nakazawa, was it?
This farmer will deal for us. The game must be fair.
I'm dealing?
Before we get started, Nakazawa.
Take your clothes off too.
Yes.
Don't point your filthy nipples at Asirpa! You're scaring her!
Those are nasty nipples! Put them away!
The hell is wrong with your nipples?
I am terribly sorry.
Quite an actor, eh?
Are we ready?
Come on. Get on with it.
Quite the showman.
His skill in dealing dice...
is top-notch.
You only get one chance! Make your choice!
-Even! -Shut up, Shiraishi.
I call odd.
Great. My bet is on even.
Now, let's get on with it!
One and six! Odd!
Goddamn idiot!
Hey...
Look, it's a strand of hair!
This is a trick!
You can look through the basket's weaves and tug the hair to change the roll!
This isn't a simple trick any farmer can pull off.
Those two are accomplices!
He tried to cheat and messed up!
No... you would never make a mistake.
You botched the game on purpose!
Why do you always get in my way?
We pretended to be strangers in front of these fools.
How could you leave those heads out at a time like this?
You've fumbled this so bad!
You shouldn't have cheated on me!
I told you, he's a prostitute! You're still upset about that?
You stared at that baldie's ass lustfully.
I did not!
Sleeping with a male prostitute is like taking a piss.
Filthy. You're filthy! Don't touch me!
The bear's trying to break in!
No one cares about your lovers' quarrel. Go get my ammo pouch!
Eat these, damn bears!
I hope the bear bites off your penis, boss.
Shut up!
I should've left you in Naganuma!
Boss!
He's the prisoner!
Boss...!
-Show me your ass! -Stop!
You're just an ordinary grunt!
Get your dirty ass out of my face!
But Boss says my ass is nice!
He even said my nipples are sexy!
Boss!
I would have never guessed that he tattooed the codes on his legs.
I will not be eaten!
Boss, don't leave me!
Stand back, Asirpa!
I am the immortal Sugimoto!
Sugimoto!
Apply the bear fat on your face and it won't scar.
The smell of this fat is making my stomach growl.
Asirpa, let's have a bite of the bear meat.
I cannot eat it.
This bear is a Wenkamuy. It killed that man.
Asirpa.
This bear has both eyes and all claws on its paws.
This one hasn't killed anyone.
I saw this bear up close. I'm sure of it.
Are you sure? Really?
Drat, we don't have flaccid anemone.
Toss it in a meaty dish, and not only does it enhance the meat's flavor,
but it also brings out the flavor of other ingredients.
Asirpa, Asirpa.
We happen to have flaccid anemone.
I gathered some in the forest!
Sugimoto, this isn't flaccid anemone.
Oh, really?
This is Suruku, or wolf's bane.
They look similar this time of year. It's easy to mistake one for another.
We almost consumed poison.
But thanks to your mistake,
we might be able to kill the remaining bears.
The poison is weak and works slowly. Stab it again!
No way!
The other bear is coming in from upstairs!
I sold you a horse about a month ago.
I need a weapon.
Give me the biggest weapon you've got in your stash!
Shiraishi, take the horse and run!
Boss's sword...
Go without me, Sugimoto!
Stand up! We're getting out of here!
Princess!
Boss!
-Princess? -Princess?
Princess?
Get down, Kiroranke!
Die, monster!
Damn it, I'm out of ammo.
There's one more left!
Get on!
Your country has wagons that don't require horses?
My dear friend Ford gave me this test model.
Faster!
Brown bears run much faster than this.
The poison is working. They can't run much longer.
Princess!
Boss!
Princess!
So now you're running away?
A back door virgin no more.
Damn, the yakuza boss actually won.
Princess.
Serves you right, Boss.
You can't cheat behind my back anymore.
You're going to die with me.
At least I got to be your last.
You idiot.
Right, I'll peel his skin off.
