as bait to lure the boars in.

They didn't tell us

about the land mines under our feet...

or the grenades

coming in on top of us.

Huh?

Where is she?

Where's San?

Take it easy.

I'm trying to get you out.

There's a wolf over here!

Hey! Hurry!

Young master, what are you doing?

- What's going on?

- No! What do you think you're doing?

I have got to find Lady Eboshi.

This wolf s gonna help me find her.

You're on their side,

aren't you, boy?

Stand aside!

What's more important

to all of you?

The head of the Forest Spirit

or saving your town?

Those darts are poison.

That's enough now!

I'm not gonna

slave any longer!

Come on! Let's get this thing

off of him! All together now!

Heave! Heave!

Heave!

Heave!

Look out!

After you've come through the swamp,

take cover by the lake until we get there.

- Right!

- Be careful.

Those riflemen with milady

belong toJigo.

Here. Take these. Where I'm going,

they won't be of any use.

You go with them, Yakul.

Look after him!

Find San!

That's where we'll find Eboshi!

Come on. Keep moving.

Straight ahead. Today we finish this.

- Sir.

- Yes? Ah, have you spotted them?

Okkoto's badly wounded.

He and the Wolf Girl are making their

way to the realm of the Forest Spirit.

So they're going to beg him for

his help, are they? Keep after them,

but stay out of sight or you'll

frighten the Forest Spirit away.

Yes, sir. I understand.

That was boar's blood

painted on his face, wasn't it?

Uh-huh, a little trade secret.

Don't want to smell human.

We're almost at the pool

of the Forest Spirit.

Just a little farther.

Keep going.

What was that?

Lord Okkoto, something's wrong.

We have to keep moving.

- Something's out there.

- What? With so much blood in the air, I can't smell it.

I should have known it was you!

- You did this!

- Because of you, the forest will die!

You're wrong! We've all been fighting to

save it! This is the thanks you give us?

- You bring bad things!

- Bad things coming, neither human or animal.

- What do you mean,

"neither human or animal"?

- They're coming!

- It's the end for us!

They're warriors.

They've come back.

My warriors!

They have come back to me

from the land of the dead.

- Forward, my warriors!

- Okkoto, listen!

- Forward to the pool of the Forest Spirit!

- Okkoto, no, wait!

No, Lord Okkoto!

Your warriors haven't come back to you.

Those are humans wearing the skins

of your warriors to hide their scent!

It's a trick!

Don't you understand? It's just a human trick

to get us to lead them to the Forest Spirit!

Come out, Forest Spirit!

If you are truly master here,

give my warriors the power to slay

the humans and be victorious!

Stop, Lord Okkoto, please!

You've got to listen!

San, they're all around us.

Okkoto's done for. Leave him!

No! I won't let him turn

into a demon like Nago did!

Tell mother that the humans are setting

a trap for the Forest Spirit.

She'll know what to do.

You'll have to hurry,

or it could mean the end of all of us!

Go on now.

Stay back or you die!

And then this whole forest

will see just what you are!

Ashitaka?

Get back!

I burn!

There are flames growing inside of me.

You must fight it!

Don't let yourself become a demon!

Lord Okkoto!

What is it?

- Is it San?

- She's in danger.

Let's go.

I'm on fire.

No! I don't want

to become a demon!

Please stop, Okkoto!

You're too slow! Get on!

- A wolf.

- Hey!

Eboshi!

You keep going!

Eboshi!

I have something to say!

- Hold your fire!

- What is it you want?

Lord Asano's samurai

have attacked Irontown!

The women are outnumbered!

They can't hold them off for long!

Forget about

the Forest Spirit!

Your men are already heading back to

Irontown, but they need you to lead them!

What proof is there

this isn't a lie?

Lie? Don't be ridiculous!

What reason do I have to lie?

So it's don't kill the forest gods.

Now you want us to kill samurai instead.

No! What I want is for the humans

and the forest to live in peace!

- Just whose side is he on anyway?

- Shouldn't we go back?

The women are on their own now.

I've done all I can for them.

They can take care

of themselves.

There's the pool.

The creature must be somewhere nearby.

It's the moment of truth, boys,

so keep your eyes peeled.

Why do we need

that woman, sir?

When you're going to kill a god,

let someone else do your dirty work.

Moro, what happened to you?

San! It's me, Ashitaka!

San!

San!

Ashitaka!

Okkoto?

Turned into a demon.

Leave, boy.

Fight me and the Forest Spirit

will never come.

Lord Okkoto, calm your fury!

O mighty lord, let me have the girl!

I beg of you! Please, let her go!

San! Are you there?

It's me! Ashitaka!

San!

Kill him!

San!

Stop him!

He'll ruin everything!

San!

San!

Oh, Ashitaka!

- San!

- Ashitaka!

And here I was saving

the last of my strength...

to bite off that damn woman's head.

But I must save San.

Close ranks!

Use your grenades!

Don't touch him.

He's no longer a god.

You can't even speak,

can you?

Well done, men. Now, fall back

and get the wounded out of here.

Go on.

Ooh, what a revolting spectacle.

Hmm.

It's him.

Give me back my daughter, demon.

Ashitaka,

can you save the girl you love?

The Forest Spirit.

Eboshi! Hold your fire!

Huh?

Eboshi! Your enemy's

not the Forest Spirit.

- But that should have killed it.

- He's a god. It'll take more than one shot.

San!

Don't die.

I don't get it. The Great Forest

Spirit took their lives away.

Huh?

- Quick! He's starting to change.

- Now watch closely, everyone.

I'm going to show you

how to kill a god,

a god of life and death.

The trick is not to fear him.

No! Stop!

Eboshi!

You will die!

She did it! Quickly!

Go get the head!

Quick,Jigo!

Bring me that box of yours!

The porters are all dead!

Hurry! Hurry!

Be careful not to touch the spirit's

body! It'll suck the life out of you!

Here it is!

One head, as promised!

Watch out!

Milady!

I told you.

A wolf s head can still bite.

Come on!

We got to get out of here.

- Hurry!

- It's coming, sir!

- Run!

- Run!

Gonza, we've got

to get to the island!

- Island? I can't swim!

- Then walk along the bottom.

Give her to me!

I'll cut her throat!

Your claim has been avenged.

Your mother saw to that. Here.

- Lady Eboshi.

- Help me.

Don't waste your sympathy.

Ow!

- I promised Toki that

I'd bring you back to Irontown.

He's searching for his head.

We can't stay here.

San, you have got to help us.

No! You're on their side!

You always were!

Take that damn woman

and just go away!

San?

Never!

I hate all of you humans!

Yes, I'm human, San,

and so are you.

Stop it!

I'm a wolf, you hear?

- San?

- Stay back!

Oh.

I'm sorry.

I tried to stop it.

It's over. Everything's over.

The forest is dead.

Nothing is over. The two of us are

still alive. Now, will you help me, San?

Hey, wait!

Come back! Help us!

A little crisis

and they panic. Whoa!

Whoa! What are you doing?
