02x06 - Taizo

[bunniefuu]

We will let Chester
know what happened.

He'll want to know
where to find you.

I left him a letter.

Huh!

Yurei be anywhere you go.

It follow you.

You did the right thing, dear.

Children can't be raised

on the streets.

Wake up, buddy.

You're home.

Chester?

Nakayama, Chester.

Medical discharge.

Chester.

Where's Luz?

She's okay.

But her father
came, and...

She left?

I'm sorry.

She asked me to send it.

You needed happy thoughts,

not this.

The spirit follows you.

It k*lled your sons.

It drove Luz mad.

It's your fault
my husband died.

Now you put everyone
in danger!

You should rest.
Let's go home.

She's right.

A spirit does follow me.

It followed me
across the Pacific.

That jeep crash,

it was no accident.

It tried to k*ll me.

Did it do this too?

Chester, please.

Don't listen to this nonsense.

What was she talking about?

What did she mean,
you brought this on?

Son...

Ma?

Ma, let me go.

Let me go!

Yurei...

Taizo...

Ma!

- Asako!
- Ma!

What happened?

Asako!

Ma!

Chester?

Ma!

She was inside me.

But I was there too.

I had to watch my hands...

my own hands...

I tried...

I tried to control my body.

I fought so hard, but I...

I couldn't do it.

I felt the spirit.

So much pain.

So much desire.

Like a tremendous hunger.

Onnen.

What is it?

What does it want?

You.

Then it was her.

Who?

I had a sister,

died many years ago.

Her name was Yuko.

Your sister...

is the yurei?

She was...

Hideo's picture bride.

But he shunned her.

Sent her away.

She went to
the Badger Avenue bridge.

She jumped.

Jesus.

But then what does
she want with me?

When she came to Hideo,

she was...

with child already.

It called me her child.

Taizo.

Is that...

Taizo is the name
she gave you.

I'm sorry.

Taizo...

I was still in Japan

when I found out my sister
had taken her life.

I vowed

that I would never
let my sister's child

be an orphan.

I made
the crossing.

We took you.

And my father?

A soldier.

He died at w*r.

All these years...

All my life...

Those meals at the table

when you looked me in the eye
and never said a word...

How?

We feared
the truth would hurt.

You mean it would hurt you.

Son...

Don't you call me that.

She's my blood.

You are nothing.

Taizo...

Yuko...

Yurei..

How can this be?

I don't know.

You know the traditions.

You need to help us.

I am not onmyoji.

I only know
pieces of old kaidan.

That's more than most.

Her spirit...
somewhere else.

Kaidan tell us

unfulfilled soul

need body to occupy.

If we destroy body,

soul cannot exist.

Destroy the body?

Destroy her body.

No...

It is not her.

Not anymore.

Her spirit
must be set free.

Please.

This must be done.

She looks just like
I remember.

A girl...

...preparing to meet
her husband.

Yes.

It must be done.

Namu Amida Butsu...

Namu Amida Butsu,
Namu Amida Butsu.

Namu Amida Butsu.

Namu Amida Butsu,
Namu Amida Butsu,

Namu Amida Butsu...

Chester...

Leave me.

Please.

Taizo...
