12:24I
12:26I
12:28I
12:30I
12:32I've been cursed from birth.
12:34I feel closer to the dead than the living.
12:36The living are the ones who really scare me.
12:40Scare me.
12:42In my experience that the living cause much more pain than the dead.
12:50You don't think I'm a strange?
12:52You don't think I'm a freak?
12:56I
12:58I find almost everything strange.
13:02You
13:08You're looking for Komomo.
13:14Do you know her?
13:16If you find her,
13:18what do you plan to do?
13:20Oh, I planned.
13:22What I planned from the first moment I saw her take her to America start both our lives all over again.
13:30Give to her the life that she deserved. I promised her that.
13:38Poor Komomo.
13:40Where is she?
13:42She came here to the island about half a year ago, but
13:46I'm sorry.
13:48She passed away not long ago.
13:50Ha!
13:52Oh, God.
13:54God
13:56Damn!
13:58Damn!
14:04What happened?
14:06She hung herself.
14:08Why would she do that?
14:10She could wait no longer for the man she loved.
14:14You're lying!
14:18It's no lie.
14:19She rested the temple on the bank of the river.
14:22God!
14:28So, you're that man?
14:30Or a special one?
14:32Never mentioned a word to you that I was in America.
14:36Oh, I guess she just thought...
14:38Tested another goddamn lying Yankee!
14:42Never intended.
14:44I'm coming back for her in the first place.
14:51Wait!
14:52Don't go!
14:53There's nothing but cutthroats outside!
14:55Oh, God!
14:56God!
14:57Goddamn!
14:58This island isn't in the human world.
15:00Demons and whores are the only ones living here.
15:03I know you suffer.
15:15But you can't change the past.
15:19Komomo is gone.
15:24You cannot bring her back.
15:26Oh, God.
15:28Oh, God.
15:29Oh, God.
15:30Oh, God.
15:36What did you love about her?
15:44Oh, so many things.
15:48So many things.
15:49So many things.
15:50So many things.
15:51So many things.
15:52So many things.
15:53So many things.
15:56She reminded me of my sister.
16:02My dead little sister.
16:07Oh.
16:08You sister?
16:11Oh, I guess you think I'm a strange one now.
16:16I'm the last woman to judge any man.
16:20Have some sake.
16:23It's the best way to forget.
16:28Oh, God.
16:53Oh, God.
16:54I'm the last woman.
16:55I love you.
16:56...
17:28Aren't you ever going to sleep?
17:36Showing your sleeping face is the greatest disgrace for a lady in my trade.
17:47It's hot, but at least this keeps the mosquitoes off.
17:58Is something wrong?
18:03It may be too much sulky.
18:10Good, sir.
18:11All of the men rave about me being fine fit.
18:22Care to try?
18:23I'll let you do anything.
18:27Run right now.
18:28I understand who would want to lay with such an ugly woman like me, huh?
18:38Please don't misunderstand me.
18:40I find you very attractive.
18:48It's just, tonight...
18:52Not tonight, no.
18:55Not tonight.
18:56Maybe you should just relax and fall asleep.
19:09Tell me a story.
19:12Bedtime story about you.
19:16About me?
19:17I'm a journalist.
19:21That's what I do.
19:23I listen to stories.
19:25Even if I wasn't,
19:27I would want to hear your story.
19:32You are a strange one, mister.
19:36Normally, men don't want to talk with me.
19:39The place I was born is far away from here.
19:58A poor village deep in mountains where life is tough.
20:09My dad died of a bad lung and spent most of his time laid up in bed.
20:27You'll be alright.
20:29Aaaah!
20:31My mama was a midwife, delivering babies in the village when she was intending to my dada.
20:50When I came alone, their lives got even more difficult, but they were happy all the same.
21:05None of the other kids would play with me because of my face, I was all by myself.
21:25Everyone in town detested me, but a Buddhist priest showed me kindness.
21:32It's pretty scary, huh?
21:44These drawings were made with real blood.
21:50Listen to me now.
21:56If you do bad things, you'll go straight to hell.
22:02If you want to go to heaven, you must do all the good things.
22:10It didn't want to cause us any more trouble. Dada died in the river.
22:20No!
22:21No!
22:22No!
22:23No!
22:24No!
22:25No!
22:26No!
22:27No!
22:28No!
22:29No!
22:30No!
22:31No!
22:32No!
22:33No!
22:34No!
22:35No!
22:36No!
22:37No!
22:38My mama tried her best, but couldn't make a living with the child around.
22:51You're coming with me!
22:53You'll be happy! I promise!
22:56Always keep your team up!
22:59Good luck!
23:08From here is the same old story.
23:16I was bought and sold from place to place, and finally wound up on this island.
23:26Being a daughter of joy is a living hell.
23:30This place is something out of the pictures I saw at the temple.
23:34The pictures, drawn in blood.
23:38Don't! Show me your face! You slut!
23:59It's delicious, madam.
24:01Hey, you! Until you get a man in here, you don't get fed.
24:06All your parts are there and working.
24:09If you can't get them with your looks, make them happy with something else.
24:14If you don't wanna starve, get busy!
24:18You make that pussy pain!
24:31Please!
24:32Please!
24:40But only Komomo.
24:42She was kind to me.
24:44She had a heart of gold.
24:46I wasn't sold into this like other girls.
24:51I have a man who loves me.
24:55I'm waiting for him to come for me.
24:58He promised to take me away from here.
25:02And I'm the Empress of Japan.
25:07Komomo.
25:08You fool.
25:10Your foster parents sold you to cover their debts.
25:14No.
25:15My family is wealthy.
25:17If I was born in another age, I would be a princess.
25:23Then what are you doing here, your highness?
25:27Face it, Komomo.
25:28You're a whore just like the rest of us.
25:31No.
25:32No, no.
25:33No.
25:34I'm no whore.
25:35Well, what kind of a princess spreads her legs every night for a few coins?
25:42I know about you.
25:43You're the only survivor in a family suicide.
25:46Your money-grabbing foster parents told the madam so.
25:50No.
25:51No.
25:52My family is wealthy.
25:53Shut up, Komomo.
25:54Wake up!
25:55Stop it!
25:57If that's what Komomo thinks, then let it be.
26:01Shut up.
26:03Freak.
26:10Maybe I'm a freak.
26:13But I'm a better woman than you are.
26:17Shall I make your face look like mine?
26:23Komomo was the most popular with the men.
26:27She was so sweet and beautiful.
26:30The older women were jealous and always out to get her.
26:34One way or another.
26:39My ring is gone.
26:41My Jade ring!
26:44Someone stole my ring!
26:47Who took it?
26:48I found this on the floor in my room.
27:01That's Komomo's.
27:03You always said you wanted that ring.
27:06Right? Komomo?
27:07Komomo?
27:08Yeah, she did.
27:09Right?
27:10Yeah, yeah.
27:11Stop you lies.
27:12I never heard anything like that.
27:13I found anything like that.
27:15Komomo?
27:16Is this yours?
27:18I don't know.
27:19How does that...
27:20Why was it in my room?
27:22I don't know.
27:23That ring is far more valuable than your skin.
27:26I didn't see it.
27:27I didn't see it.
27:28Well, you shall see.
27:29He caught you.
27:30The ring and the closing.
27:31Come on.
27:32No!
27:33No!
27:34No!
27:35No!
27:36Isn't that kind of a gun?
27:37Silence!
27:45No!
27:47No!
27:48Stay still!
27:49No!
27:50No!
27:51No!
27:52No!
27:53No!
27:54No!
27:55No!
27:56Don't touch her face.
27:57Only the body.
27:59But nowhere noticeable.
28:01Don't eat marks!
28:03She's a valuable merchandise and my property.
28:12No!
28:13No!
28:14No!
28:15No!
28:16No!
28:17No!
28:18Oh, my God.
28:48Oh, my God.
29:18Oh, my God.
29:48I took it.
30:04Where is my wing?
30:07I don't know.
30:12I'll kill it.
30:14It's hot.
30:22I'm running.
30:25Stop on, little cat.
30:26In the end, they never found the ring.
30:48No matter how hard they beat her, she never talked.
30:52I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you, Christopher.
31:11Come on, I brought some oil.
31:13You're a liar.
31:31Michael Momo would never have done that.
31:34She hung herself.
31:41She's dead.
31:43I understand.
31:47Nothing you say, nothing I do will bring her back to me, but I need to know the truth.
31:53Of course you do.
32:03Whores never tell the truth, do we?
32:07Just tell me the truth.
32:09I wonder why people always want to know the truth.
32:23Sometimes it's better not to know.
32:27Sometimes the lie is better.
32:31Oh, no, no, no, please.
32:33Please, please, I'm begging you, please.
32:36I need to know what happened.
32:47Do you...
32:49really want to know?
32:52Oh.
32:53Oh.
33:23Huh? Where is it? Goddammit! Goddammit!
33:36Excuse me, madam.
33:40What?
33:45Do you know something?
33:49When I was cleaning up earlier...
33:53I found this in the corner.
34:12Come on, Mom. I brought some water.
34:21Come on, Mom.
34:23I brought some water.
34:28I brought some water.
34:29I brought some water.
34:31I brought some water...
34:35I brought some water.
34:41I brought some water.
34:42What I can't take is kindness maybe she wasn't a whore
35:12But the woman with the lovely heart, even though her body was in hell, her mind was in heaven, her soul wanted to be there, needed to be, mister, her eyes were the most beautiful I'd ever seen.
35:38So, that's the truth, you killed her. You took a woman who was so innocent, she was like a child, never hurt a single person!
35:53And then you killed her, for a, a trinket that you wanted, that's why you killed Michael Momo!
36:02You don't understand, I helped her get to heaven. I had never decided one thing, not a single thing by myself until then. For the first time I took action by myself and I'm going to hell for it.
36:24Oh God, I'm surrounded by madness.
36:27If they give their friends, then Komomo must be a wicked person too. He would have sent her to hell, so I hated Komomo.
36:35Now, I'm sure she is in heaven. What could be more pitiful? To be strangled to death by the one you trusted the most?
36:50I'm sure Buddha grabbed her by the hand and took her to heaven. Right, sis?
37:20You're leaving something out. You're not telling me something! What is it?
37:42Tell me, what are you hiding? Tell him the truth. Tell him the truth.
38:10You want to know? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't want to know!
38:33I need to know!
38:38Then I shall... I will tell you my story.
38:48My dada and mama were beggars. They called no place home.
38:50My dada and mama were beggars. They called no place home.
39:04Wandering from place to place, they ended up in the poorest village in the region. Compared to that place, this rotten island is paradise.
39:16Mama wasn't the midwife. She worked with babies, but she was more of a specialist. I'm sure you have to know.
39:22the same practice in America, right?
39:38I'm sure you have the same practice in America, right?
39:44With what money?
39:46With what money?
40:02No!
40:04No! Look at me!
40:06No! Look at me!
40:08No! Look at me!
40:12No! Look at me!
40:22No! Look at me!
40:24No! Look at me!
40:26No! Look at me!
40:34No! No!
40:36No!
40:38Fuck it!
40:44Fuck it.
40:46Despite his cruelty and drinking, Mama did her duties as a good wife.
40:53She soon got pregnant with me.
41:16No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
41:46You asked for the truth.
41:52Yes, I was dumped in the river and left to die too.
42:04But two days later, I was still alive and kicking.
42:12Mama made up her mind to raise me.
