Corpse Prison: Part One
I'm not feeling well.
Are we there yet?
We're almost there.
I'm thirsty.
Stop at a convenience store.
Stop complaining.
Or get out of the van and walk home.
Whatever.
Come on, Sagiri.
You only came to pass this class.
Like you're any different.
Is that all you guys care about?
Mere participation won't do.
What? What do you mean?
This isn't a field trip.
You'll submit a field work report.
A good one, if you'd like to pass.
No. Now you're telling us this?
You were sleeping the whole way here.
Shut up.
Oh, well.
You're going to write my report, too.
What? But...
Got a problem with that?
No. I'll do it.
This road isn't on the map. Will we be okay?
Well...
I'm not sure.
What?
But I know we're on the right road.
It's the only road that leads us to Yasaka Village.
That's quite bizarre anyway.
There's no reception around here.
Keeping the village inaccessible must have been crucial in olden times.
To keep out bandits.
We might come across some unthinkable village customs here,
a village cut off from the outside world.
Damn.
Sorry.
We're not okay.
You're not pushing, are you?
No, you're not pushing.
Are you all right, Sayori?
Sayoﬁ?
Professor.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Let's rest a bit.
Yes.
Just great.
It's getting dark.
Spend the night in the van?
Not a chance.
We'll freeze to death without the heater.
I want to go home.
Over here. Please stop.
Thank God.
The chief sent us to look for you.
Luckily we had gasoline with us.
You saved us.
Not one gas station once we got off the main road.
We thought that you were attacked by a bear.
You were out of luck.
The chief's house isn't far. You're almost there.
Thank you very much.
Well well, look at these hotties.
The villagers will jump for joy.
What a blessing.
Creepy.
Don't worry. They're not talking about you.
I'm Amano, the village chief.
It must have been a long trip for you.
I'm Ashihara of Hirasaka University.
Thank you for allowing us to hold our seminar field work here.
I'm Assistant Kagosaka. Pleased to meet you.
And these are the students.
Pleased to meet you.
Your rooms are upstairs. Please make yourselves at home.
Although we won't be able to help you since we don't have a maid.
Where is your wife?
She's been bedridden for many years now.
Forgive me for my impertinence.
That's all right.
This is my son, Takahiko.
Pleasure to meet you.
Speak out loud.
He doesn't even have a girlfriend.
Say, Takahiko.
Look at all these wonderful ladies.
Why don't you hit on one of them?
Please, Father.
Come on. Which one is your type?
Stop it.
What is it with you?
Sorry, Father.
May I take a look at that over there?
It's a mask of Sarutahiko-no-kami.
According to legend, this village was founded by him.
He later gave this mask and control of the village to our Amano Family.
Which generation village chief are you?
I'm the 41st generation.
I'd like Takahiko to take over, but as you can see he's not ready.
Is it a Tengu?
Sarutahiko-no-kami.
He guided Ninigi-no-mikoto from heaven to earth in Japanese Mythology.
Am I supposed to know this?
One hypothesis goes like this.
Sarutahiko-no-kami is the husband of Amanouzume-no-mikoto of Amano-iwa-yado.
Very good.
I'll also show you the mask of Uzume later.
Thank you very much.
Chief. It's ready.
All right.
We shall now commence the wedding ceremony of these ladies.
That was pretty intense.
I didn't get it at all.
Good work, everybody.
That was the Foot Amputation Ceremony.
Thank you.
Foot amputation?
Yes.
It's a ceremony to welcome women from the outer world.
Now they are brides of Yasaka Village.
Ceremony to welcome brides from outside?
I got to see such a rare event.
Thank you.
The pleasure is mine.
It looks like dinner is ready.
Please enjoy the evening.
I appreciate this, Professor.
No, no.
Thank you.
Thank you as well.
Takahiko. Why are you sitting there?
Take this and go talk to the girls.
Takahiko. Over here.
Pour my glass.
After he pours mine.
Ultimately, you prefer the young handsome guy, huh?
I think you guys are handsome too.
Really?
Takahiko. You're annoying. Go somewhere else.
Beat it.
That's mean.
Are you jealous?
Well, sort of.
Please.
Thanks, but I don't drink.
| see.
Sorry.
It's fine.
I can't watch him.
Professor.
Won't you teach him how to approach a girl?
I could never.
I'm actually clueless in that department myself.
I don't believe you.
You seduced all those cuties into joining your class.
No. That's not at all the case.
I swear to God that I've never regarded them as sex objects.
Do you swear on Sarutahiko-no-kami?
Yes, I swear.
At any rate, we appreciate you coming.
We were worried whether you'd really keep your promise or not.
I knew I could count on you.
Well, then. Let's drink up tonight.
Here.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
What was that ceremony about?
I don't know.
Let's ask the chief later.
I guess.
There's something strange about this village.
What meat is this anyway?
I don't know, but it's delicious.
What kind of meat is this?
Specialty of Yasaka Village, bear meat.
Sarutahiko and bears, the gods of the mountain, were friends.
Bears of this village love the flesh of young women.
Don't scare me.
Eat, eat.
Thank you.
I have to use the bathroom.
Wait.
What is it? What is it?
lsuke. What are you doing?
Is that for Michiyo?
All right. Just go.
Yes.
That's lsuke who takes care of my bedridden wife.
He's a bit slow.
Why butcher a chicken at this hour?
I'm sorry I caused a scene.
Who could blame her? He looks like a monster.
lsuke is lsuke after all.
Let's get back to partying.
Excuse me.
I'm not feeling too well. I'll be in my room.
You must be tired from the long trip.
The bath is ready. Please enjoy.
Thank you very much.
TakagL
Yes?
You've got to be able to enjoy the vibe of this village,
if you wish to get any work done.
Sorry.
But it's not really about the vibe.
| feel something rather ominous.
Oh Takahiko, you're adorable.
How about me, then?
You're adorable, too.
There's no need to behave like those girls, but...
being able to might be crucial in studying folkloristics.
Yes.
Who is it?
lsuke.
I put towel here.
Thank you very much.
I'm sorry about earlier.
Me, okay.
Gosh, I'm pathetic.
Those girls have no idea what's going on?
I know.
We must do something.
I'm so wasted.
You were actually giving Takahiko the look weren't you?
He's so adorable.
I bet he's a virgin.
Let him fuck you.
It's time to show what Slut Sagiri is made of.
Still holding a grudge against me over your loss in the beauty contest?
You just seduced the jury into voting for you.
Whatever.
Listen to the loser whine.
Shut up, Ugly.
Ah, I'm so bored.
You're working already?
No. Just making a note so I won't forget some things.
You're so serious.
Send me your notes when we return to Tokyo.
Okay.
Don't send her anything.
I'm the only one who gets your report.
We promised, remember?
Don't worry.
Nobody will ever find out.
What are you whispering about?
None of your business.
Girls. Take a bath and go to bed.
You're not at your own house.
Yes.
Also, I can smell plagiarism from a mile away.
So, copy others' work at your own risk.
Goodnight.
I bet she's a virgin.
You're clueless, you know that?
What?
Nothing.
You shouldn't be here.
Go back to your room.
Professor.
Why aren't there any women in this village?
So, you've noticed?
According to documents, no girl has ever been born in this village.
How could a village last like that?
That's actually the focus of this investigation.
Don't tell the students about this.
Why did you bring the girls here?
Even if it meant luring them with credits.
Field work is a great learning experience.
No scientific research has ever been carried out in Yasaka Village.
Many renowned scientists were refused entry into the village in the past.
How did you convince the village chief?
It seems like you see through everything.
You used the girls as a bargaining chip.
That's what the chief asked for.
He asked me to bring him young women.
In exchange for full support in the research.
He wanted to find a bride for his son.
I guess so.
But the deal isn't necessarily immoral.
| arranged for a man and woman to meet.
From there, they have free will.
They won't be eaten alive or anything.
It's certainly immoral.
It's extremely chauvinistic.
Is that why you brought me with you?
No, it's different with you.
You'd happily use women to pursue your studies.
That's exactly who you are.
Doni
I'm serious about us.
I'll tell my wife about you when the time is right.
It's okay.
Don't say anything.
Stop it.
They'll hear us.
That's what makes it exciting.
What are you peeping at?
Mitsuha. No more peeping, okay?
Yummy?
Mitsuha. Don't do such a vulgar thing.
Prof...
We did the Leg Amputation Ceremony.
Do we need to wait any longer?
Yes.
Wait until Takahiko finds himself his bride.
But you know how he is.
I don't think he's into girls.
Then, he would never choose his bride.
We could wait but I don't think the other guys could.
We've been without women for a long time now.
Yes. What are we going to do about that?
Silence.
Who invited those girls to this village?
Well, we know you did.
What if they catch us off guard and escape?
Make sure they don't.
At any rate, until he finds his bride...
you won't lay a finger on those girls.
Hina?
Sayoﬁ?
Where are you?
lsuke. Have you seen Hina and Sayori?
Help me.
What's going on?
You must be hungry from running like that.
Why don't you join us?
They're all...
They must be taking a bath.
See?
The temperature seems just right.
Young girls taste so fresh and delicious.
Certainly.
Essential for longevity.
That's absolutely right.
lsuke. Bring us some more meat.
Yes.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I'm going to go wash my face.
You shouldn't.
We'll be back by sunset.
Please be very careful.
Careful?
There are bears in the mountain.
Really?
I'm just joking.
They should all be hibernating now.
We'll be careful.
Takahiko.
Have you decided?
You have no time to spare.
This isn't just about you.
It concerns this whole Village, let alone the Amano Family.
I have...
Are you referring to Mitsuha?
The girl is cursed.
Once you get married, |'|| offer her to Sarutahiko.
I won't let you live idly any longer.
But...
Enough.
Just pick your bride.
God knows what the villagers might do if you don't act swiftly.
I've always wanted to ask you something.
What is field work?
Just Google it, Idiot.
We have no reception, Ugly.
Tell me, Sayori.
It's a site investigation.
| see.
Why did you guys decide to study folkloristics?
I heard it was an easy course.
Which was apparently not true.
This hangover is killing me.
Me, too.
Are you OK, Hina?
I'm fine. Don't wait for me.
You need to write your report.
Just go.
Let's just go.
What is it between Sayori and you?
What do you mean?
Forget it.
Do you have any cigarettes?
You got any morning relief?
Of course I don't.
Hello. Did you get tired?
Come on, you girls are young.
Any convenience store around here?
There are plenty of them.
Really?
Are you mocking Yasaka Village?
It's hard to find a village without one.
I knew there would be one.
Could you take me there?
Sure. We were just about to go there.
All right.
Sayori.
We're going to go to the restroom.
Are we there yet?
We're almost there.
Is there really a convenience store?
What's a convenience store?
A place where there's everything.
Even girls?
Of course they even have girls.
What a wonderful place.
Yasaka Village is the closest place to heaven.
I don't like where this is going.
Me neither.
We've changed our minds.
Stop the car.
Stop it.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Just how far could the bathroom be?
Sayori.
Does Hina have something on you?
| feel awkward watching you two.
You don't have to listen to her.
She can't make you do something.
She's not forcing me.
I know she's using you to pass this class.
She's exploiting your timid nature.
Stop it.
Don't...
badmouth Hina.
Sorry.
Hina's my best friend.
Hello?
Anybody there?
We really shouldn't.
This place might be abandoned.
Hello? Anyone in there?
Hello?
Anybody there?
Hey, Professor.
Professor...
Professor.
Who are you people?
You're not from the village.
Where are you from?
We're university students from Tokyo.
This place is off-limits to strangers.
Yes.
But we've actually attended a ceremony last night,
which officially made us village members.
Ceremony?
Which...
Excuse me.
I'm their supervisor.
You are?
Yes.
I'm Ashihara of Hirasaka University.
I'm Kayano, the chief priest of this shrine.
What are you here for?
Village chief Amano gave me permission to conduct an investigation.
We're learning various aspects of this village.
I wasn't informed of this.
| see.
I had no way of making arrangements in advance.
The Amano Family and this Uzume Shrine have never got along very well.
It's absurd that the Uzume mask is kept in the Amano Residence.
Please excuse my lack of knowledge.
So, what is this ceremony that you spoke of?
They called it the Foot Amputation Ceremony.
It's based on a ceremony held to welcome brides from outside.
Wait...
Leave the village at once.
Otherwise misfortune will befall you.
No, No...
Let go of me.
Stop it.
Don't worry.
The villagers won't know about this.
They still have three girls there.
That's enough for that scrawny son.
I haven't done anything, but she looks like she's about to die.
This one is nice and lively.
You little...
Help...
Run.
Hina.
Gmup
Stop.
Stop it.
Get off.
Tagishi.
Hold her legs.
We need to do it like the ceremony.
Better not kill the girl this time.
Stop. I'm sorry.
Sorry. Help me.
Too late now.
What the...?
Hina.
You're going to kill me?
You're...
Run.
This village... bad.
You saved me?
Go. Now.
Hurry.
What about the others?
Will they be raped too?
Then, I can't run away alone.
Take me back to the house.
I need to warn everyone.
Hurry up!
Where am I?
We need to tell the chief.
Wait.
Don't look.
Sorry.
Thank you.
Let's hurry.
Yes.
Name.
My name?
I haven't told you?
Sagiri Yoshioka.
Sagiri.
And you're lppei?
No. lsuke.
That's right.
Nice to meet you, lsuke.
lsuke.
Thanks for saving me, but that was a bit too extreme.
Please don't kill anymore.
Promise me.
All right.
I promise you.
You don't know who did it?
You saw Tsuyama get murdered, right?
He had an Uzume mask on.
He could be an outsider.
I think you two got in a fight over the girls.
That's not it. We took them to the shed.
They were trying to escape from the village.
Bullshit.
You two practically killed the girl who came last summer.
That wasn't my fault.
Chief. Please believe me.
I did it for the village.
I could care less.
This discussion is meaningless.
The girls are alive.
Hurry up and go find them.
The villagers are looking for them in the forest.
Nobody could get out of the forest without a guide.
We've closed the village exit. They're completely trapped.
All right. Don't kill them.
Don't forget that they're also Takahiko's bride candidates.
That's Sarutahiko-no-kami.
Who is she? Is that you?
| see.
Mitsuha.
Would you like to leave this attic?
But I might not be able to return here for a long time.
We'd better find them before sunset or else we're finished.
No different for the girls.
Maybe the bears are eating them now.
Idiot. We can't let bears take those precious girls from us.
Let's go.
Why am | getting no reception?
Come rescue me, Sayori.
You said you'd die for me.
Damn it.
Help me, Sayori.
Sayori...
Over here.
There she is.
ATengu...
God?
Help me, God.
I hope Hina and Sagiri are okay.
They're with the villagers, right?
They must be drinking like crazy.
I got a call from Tsuyama.
They're drinking together.
I knew it. Sorry for the trouble.
Not at all.
I'm sure it's the guys' idea.
I'll make Takahiko go get them later.
So don't worry.
Thank you very much.
Where's Dr. Ashihara?
He's doing some research.
He doesn't even eat once he gets in the mode.
Shut the door.
Now.
Yes.
What's wrong?
600 years ago, this village was secluded from the world.
There were very few baby girls, probably due to incest.
After repeated famines and epidemics,
the village ultimately lost all of its female population.
Then one day, a couple visited the village.
The villagers...
considered the couple as a gift from their god, Sarutahiko-no-kami.
They killed and ate the man, and raped the woman.
They cut off the foot of the woman, and made her their comfort woman.
She gave birth to babies of many men in the village.
Her leg was infested with maggots, so she was called the "Maggot Lady."
That's horrible.
Incredibly enough...
the story doesn't end there.
They continued to do the same to other women that visited the village.
Communization of these women became a norm and a custom.
The babies born there were still all boys.
The villagers thought they were cursed by past Maggot Ladies.
So, they built a shrine for her.
And worshipped her as Amanouzume, who had a connection with Sarutahiko.
But the curse hasn't been broken, and no baby girl has been born since.
So, this village had to continue to hunt women.
It's just an old tale.
Of course it's just an old tale.
Where did you get that book?
I can't have you going through our things like that.
Deeply sorry.
Are you looking at this?
It seems like a bear showed up in the vicinity.
We're going hunting.
I need to talk to you two.
Please follow me.
Sure.
Get the girls out of here.
Got it?
Just go. Hurry.
Yes.
A woman has escaped.
She's on the loose!
Just get in.
I'll explain later.
Hurry!
There they are.
No. You said you won't kill them.
Get in. Hurry.
Sagiri.
Why?
Me. lsuke.
It's okay. He's on our side.
Start the car.
What's women hunt?
It's a custom of this village.
| just can't believe that.
You're going to have to.
Hina and l were attacked.
Where's Hina?
Where is she?
I don't know.
She pushed me away and ran away.
No way.
Don't worry. She's indestructible.
I can't.
I can't live without Hina.
She's all I've got.
Hina's my everything.
I knew you guys were lovers.
Any news?
They haven't come, but they will soon.
This is the only way out from the village.
All right.
I'm heading that way. We'll trap them from both sides.
Make sure they don't get away.
We'll be fine.
The road ahead leads us out of the village.
Stop the car.
Please, stop.
Are you out of your mind?
I can't leave without Hina.
I have to find her.
Please. Stop the car.
Hey, Sayori.
Calm down.
What's your problem?
I'm not your parent.
I could've escaped alone.
I'm only doing this because Dr. Ashihara told me to.
I'm doing this for him.
He's still in the house.
He might even be dead.
This isn't easy for any of us.
Stop.
Now you?
Exit... bad.
You're not going anywhere.
They read our plan.
They're cutting through the forest.
Fools!
You were outwitted by a bunch of girls.
Sorry, Chief.
If they escape and talk, this village is finished.
Once Takahiko picks his bride the rest will be yours.
For the sake of this village, don't let any girl escape from here.
