You saw an oni?

A demon?

Oni, alien,

bart simpson,

I have no idea.

I've got to get some

answers from someone.

You need to rest.

You are fortunate

to be alive.

Yeah, if we are alive.

Does your head hurt?

It's killing me.

If you can feel pain,

then you're alive,

And if you're alive,

Then perhaps

we all are.

Oh, feels good!

We lost one of

our own tonight.

We must be cautious.

There are second chances

everywhere.

You were unwise to provoke

Mr. Ellman so soon.

Why?

He has been chosen.

He's not wearing a band.

He's looking for the girl.

Everything puts him

in opposition to me.

I say get rid of him,

Sooner rather than later.

Not while

he's being observed...

And protected,

And he's not yet had time

to make a judgement.

Perhaps he will

come around to your way.

Not with the girl between us.

Then let him lead you

back to her,

And perhaps the tower.

And when you have it

within your sights,

Do what you must.

How many times?

How many times have you ridden

the suicide express, huh?

Me?

Four!

Four times I've killed myself.

That, comrades, is courage.

That, comrades, is stupidity.

Because one time

you won't come back,

And no one knows

when that time may be.

Never do anything

For which the outcome

is uncertain.

Now, wait for me here.

Tomorrow,

we meet our friend,

And, God-willing,

we'll begin our journey.

So, what was his name?

A woman like you

Doesn't just suddenly

decide to become a nun.

Yoshinaka,

A samurai.

He was a great man,

But also an ambitious man,

And to achieve

his ambitions,

He waged a war.

Many people died.

He died.

He was my greatest mistake.

What was yours?

There was more than just one.

"the road we walk

Was built with the stones

that scar our feet."

Who said that?

Buddha?

A nun from near kyoto,

In the years

after the gempei wars.

I was a...

A television

reporter

During our

times of war.

I had a buddy,

A cameraman.

We used a machine

to take pictures of places,

People who had been

hurt by others.

I'm not explaining

myself very well.

You painted portraits

and told true stories.

Yeah, most of the time,

And you got it right,

you were a hero.

Wrong...

To live an honorable life,

One must risk everything,

Always.

Tomoe...

This samurai of yours,

If he had to kill a man,

a stranger, to save you,

Would he have done it?

Without hesitation.

I need to find this man, Burton,

The one who attacked me.

To kill him.

You...

You, get over here!

Matthew!

You killed us!

You killed all of us!

Stop!

You're hurting her!

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry!

I survived

Afghanistan,

Chechnya, Darfur,

And this coward kills me

And the only woman

I ever truly loved!
