Ushi, are you there?
Yes.
Get something?
Nothing but junk.
Is this the best you can do?
Kyoto's been burned down.
They say the emperor
So no more big battles.
Just skirmishes now.
Can't do any business.
This is good millet.
One more bag.
Take it or leave it.
Want one more?
Sleep with me.
you bastard!
Hachi!
What are you doing here?
I'm hungry.
Give me some food.
Get him a bowl.
It's a wonder you made it back!
Where's my husband?
Wait a minute.
You came back alone?
I escaped.
Where's my son?
It was the Ashikaga army that
forced us to go with them.
We fought in two of their battles.
In the third, we got caught
by the Kusunoki army.
My son too?
Yes, both of us.
All the same to us.
It's the generals' war, not ours.
We didn't even know
what they were fighting about.
There are two emperors now.
Kusunoki fights for the
emperor at Mount Yoshino,
and Ashikaga for the
emperor in Kyoto.
It means the two emperors
are quarrelling.
At first, we wanted to be heroes,
but killing's not easy.
I could have been killed myself.
Once I stabbed a man
in the back with a spear.
He was taking a sh*t in the bushes,
and I killed him.
What happened to my son?
It was three days ago.
The Kusunoki army
got battered at Minatogawa.
Ashikaga's men
wiped them right out.
It was hell.
We couldn't tell friend from foe.
It lasted two days and two nights.
We tried to stick
to the safest places.
The general ordered us to advance,
but we ran around till
they chased us into a paddy field.
There was nothing to do
but play dead in the mud.
We fooled them.
We waited for our chance
and then ran for the mountains.
We hid in the bushes all night
and thought we'd starve.
So we went hunting for food.
We thought we'd steal from farmhouses,
but they were empty.
There was no food.
Soon, farmers with sticks
came from out of nowhere
and beat us up.
They beat Kichi to death.
I barely escaped with my life!
My son was killed?
And then?
What happened
to the samurai who took you two?
He was killed right afterwards.
An arrow right through his throat.
He flailed around
and then keeled over.
Right here.
Serves him right!
He had it coming.
They took my son so suddenly
that we had a hard time surviving.
I was looking forward
to the day he would return.
Only you made it back.
It's a wonder you're still alive.
How do you eat?
There was frost last summer.
Hail fell.
Frost and hail in summer!
All our crops failed.
Strange things going on in Kyoto too.
The sun rose black in the sky.
Day was dark as night.
How horrible!
As if the earth had been
turned upside down!
All the farmers are starving.
With all the fighting,
they can't work.
The fields run wild
without men to till them.
How do you eat?
Never you mind!
We're beggars.
Kyoto's been burnt to the ground.
Not even a dog around.
Everything becomes food -
snakes, even earthworms and mice.
You're wearing nice things.
Did you steal them?
You're dressed oddly yourself.
I killed a priest on the way back
and put on his clothes.
People trust a priest.
Makes it easier to get around.
What'll you do now?
Is my hut left?
I suppose so.
I see.
I'll get some good sleep.
I'm very tired.
I'm sorry I came back alone.
What is it?
It's sad!
Fine day.
Makes war seem far away.
That's a big fish you caught.
I have nothingto eat.
What do you do for food?
You don't seem to grow anything.
What do you do?
You steal?
I see. That's it?
Everyone does
where there's fighting going on.
They all steal in Kyoto.
You steal too? Right?
Why didn't you save my husband?
I had no time to.
I barely got away myself.
You've been waiting for him?
Poor girl.
What are you gonna do?
He's dead.
No use staying
with the old woman, is there?
Mind your tongue!
You're young yet.
Nice day.
Hachi, what are you doing here?
Catching fish. Got to eat.
You have it.
Take what's offered.
It looks good!
What did Hachi say?
Nothing.
The little sh*t! Not even sorry
he came back alone.
Might have killed my son himself.
No different than an enemy.
Don't be too friendly with him.
Help!
Help!
Help!
Get the one floating away!
He's still alive!
We can eat now!
This is expensive stuff.
How about it?
A good buy?
Is that all?
The farmers are all hiding
in the mountains.
Had a hard time findingthis much.
It's risky work.
Bring me some sake.
You were lucky.
It's a wonder you're back.
Good business you have here.
Only while the war lasts.
Don't know how much longer.
They won't quit for a long time yet.
Not until one side's beaten.
They'll go on
even if it ruins the country.
It's a business with them.
Bring me some good stuff.
Ushi's got himself a good business.
Armies will snap up swords,
halberds and armour.
There's not enough to go around.
Nothingfor common soldiers,
so they use wooden or bamboo spears.
A good business, all right.
I've heard you two do good work.
How many have you killed?
That's our business.
You stay out of it!
Don't you think
you should let me join you?
I've been trained in war.
I'll come in handy.
Mind your own business.
We can manage on our own.
You hate me for returning alone?
I don't care what you do.
You're on your own.
How about making me her husband?
Idiot! Don't be stupid!
We're turning in.
Go on home.
That no-good loser!
He's after you.
You see his eyes?
Like a dog after a b*tch.
Sniffing after you.
Stay away from him!
I want a woman.
Come to my hut.
I'll be waiting tonight.
Hachi's after you.
Don't let him catch you.
Who's there?
Who's there?
So it's you.
You came.
Hachi!
Hurry!
I get scared
running through the reeds.
Silly.
What are you saying?
You kill people for a living.
Lazy bastard,
enjoying his nap!
Oh, it's just you.
You like to sleep?
Yes, it's nice to have a little nap.
It's too hot.
Best to sleep in the daytime.
Want to sleep with me?
An old woman like you?
Stupid!
I'm not old on the inside.
Come on.
Try me.
Hachi, wait!
What is it?
Something good?
Don't act so innocent!
What are you doing
with my daughter-in-law every night?
What do you mean?
I'll slap you!
I saw you both!
What do you plan to do with her?
She's the one who came to my place.
