"Mouna, can you do me this favor?" "Kojima... if you lived in Mehebu now, I'd do you this favor" "But you live in Tnbarah Clan" "Take these red-foot pheasants and get out of my hunting ground" "I don't care if it's your hunting ground or theirs because everything here belongs to us Japanese now" "Temu, you just wait and see" "Some day I'll destroy your Tnbarah Clan" "Let's see who's killed first" "I don't care if you're Mouna Rudo" "Chief, the matches you wanted" "Mouna!" "Mouna!" "Bakan, why does Mouna need so many matches?" "Who knows?" "I've cut off the head of the Japanese Governor-general" "Wow!" "What a party!" "Sir Yoshimura" "Whose wedding day is it?" "It's Watan and Lubi's" "Come!" "Have a drink with us, sir" "No" "No" "Come on, have a drink" "No way" "I don't drink the wine with your nasty saliva in it" "Come on, have a drink -l told you that I don't want to" "Your hand is all dirty with blood" "I invited you with good will" "You son-of-a-bitch!"

"I'm holding down his feet!" "Beat him up!" "I'm holding down his feet again!" "Stop!" "All of you!" "What is it?" "What the hell?" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Yoshi..." "Yoshimura" "You're in big trouble" "You have the nerve to beat me up" "Let's kill him!" "Shut your mouth!" "Excuse us!" "Let us through!" "I'll kill all you Mehebu clansmen" "I'll kill you all" "Let's do it, Father, before the Japanese kill us all" "Why the hell did you provoke him when you knew he'd kill us all?" "You're nothing but a bunch of hounds that can only chase and hunt and know nothing of self-restraint" "How much longer do I have to put up with you?" "Out of my way!" "Now you're here to bribe me with wine?" "It's too late" "I've filed the report on the case of you beating up a police officer" "This time I'll destroy your clan" "Yoshimura..." "I, Mouna Rudo, come here to apologize to you personally" "Stop being so arrogant" "Who do you think you are?" "You think you're still a chief?" "You can't even control your own sons" "I don't think you're qualified to be a chief anymore" "Get out!" "Who the hell let you in?" "Get the hell out!" "I don't want to see your faces again" "Go home and rot!" "Hey!" "Why did you do that to him?" "Shut up!" "Yoshimura has reported Tado's case to the substation" "I can't believe this Yoshimura" "Chief Mouna apologized to him personally" "Why did he insist on filing the case?" "Yoshimura and Sugiura are not the same as Kojima after all" "They will never try to understand our people" "If Kojima were living in Mehebu there wouldn't be so much trouble" "Since I was very little" "I've always been scared of Chief Mouna" "It looks as if underneath his mantle he's always gripping his machete ready to draw it to kill anytime" "He's no ordinary man" "He's impossible to be tamed" "It must be difficult for him to torn between the expectations of his fellow tribesmen and the intimidation of the Japanese" "Aren't we living like that as well?" "We don't want to be savages but however hard we try to dress up like the Japanese we'll always be seen as uncivilized people" "We've lived like this for 20 years" "Another 20 years won't be impossible" "By the time our children grow up maybe we will have changed forever the savage image of ours" "Do we still have the chance?" "Mehebu Clan may be wiped out soon" "Chief Mouna!" "What?" "Chief Mouna, can you tell me something about Japan?" "I know you've been there before" "They have armies, cannons, machineguns airplanes and large steamers in Japan" "I know why you're asking me this" "You don't really want to know Japan" "All you want is to remind me how powerful the Japanese are" "Don't worry." "I'll never forget" "Humph!" "You Japanese policemen always provoke us so much that I want to hunt your heads" "Chief Mouna, I'm still a Seediq" "Although I'm now a Japanese policeman" "I never forget that the same blood runs in our veins" "Dakis, when you die are you entering a Japanese shrine?" "Or the heavenly home of our ancestors?" "I heard that... in the school for savage children you beat up our kids like the Japanese do" "I beat them up because I don't want the Japanese to look down on them" "You graduated from Normal School" "You're more highly-educated than any other Japanese policemen" "But how come you get the lowest salary?" "Don't the Japanese look down on you already?" "Beating up your own people makes them look down on you even more" "During our stay in Japan the Japanese knew all of us chiefs from different clans hated one another but they made us sit together at the dining table deliberately" "We were glaring at one another all the time while we were eating intending to draw our machetes and kill" "Humph!" "The Japanese are good at these things" "Chief, is it so bad to be ruled by the Japanese?" "At least we're leading a civilized life" "Is it so bad to be ruled by the Japanese?" "Is it so good to be ruled by them?" "Our men are forced to bend over to carry logs on our backs and our women have to kneel down to serve and pour wine" "I'm a chief but all I can do is get drunk and pretend I see nothing and hear nothing" "What else can l do?" "Post offices?" "Stores?" "Schools?" "Do any of those things make our lives easier and better?" "Instead, we're made to see how impoverished we are" "Chief, can't we bear it for another 20 years?" "In 20 years, there will be no Seediq and there will be no hunting ground" "All our children will have turned Japanese" "Chief Mouna?" "About Yoshimura..." "I'm old" "Don't worry" "The Japanese are far too powerful" "I won't go against them" "Go home" "This is the hunting ground that belongs to me only" "Get lost" "Chief..." "Get lost!" "Mouna!" "Father?" "Mouna, the tattoos on your face are still so dark and clear" "You're indeed a Seediq Bale" "You're a true hero" "Mouna?" "Look at the lines on that rock" "It split into half when struck by the lightening, didn't it?" "In the dim light at dusk the lightening splits a rock into half" "What a beautiful sight!" "Father?" "I can't keep the intruders away" "Ah, it's for real" "Here I am" "I used to guard these mountains and forests bravely" "Oh yes, it's for real" "Mouna, let's sing" "We haven't sung together for long" "Reminisce the people from the past" "Here I am" "I used to guard these mountains and forests bravely" "These are our mountains" "These are our creeks" "We're the true Seediq Bale" "We go hunting in the mountains" "We share food in our clan" "We fetch water from the creeks" "I'm willing to give my life for these" "Oh, creek!" "Be quiet" "Sisin babblers are singing" "Sing us a beautiful song please" "Sing for our people a song of our ancestral spirit" "I'm willing to give my life too" "When the lightening rifts the rock a rainbow appears and a proud man emerges" "Who is this man so proud?" "It's your offspring" "A Seediq Bale" "Those Japanese are outrageous" "I can't believe they beat up someone who offers them a drink three girls from Boarung Clan were asked to serve them drinks and they were raped" "Why not to kill Yoshimura right on the spot?" "Don't you remember how my family died?" "My father killed only one Japanese man and they burned my whole family alive" "I was hiding in the woods watching without even blinking my eyes" "So... that's why we can't kill only one Japanese man" "We have to kill all of them to make a difference" "Are you kidding me?" "We wouldn't still be sitting here if we could kill them all" "Now the Mehebu chief Mouna Rudo is driven to bay by that policeman from the lumberyard and the day after tomorrow on October 27th is the big sports day" "By then, all the Japanese in Wushe are going to gather in one place" "Is it time already?" "Father, there won't be a better chance" "And we have no other choice" "We can't have the Japanese look down on us anymore" "We need to show them what we're made of" "Let's fight them, Chief" "Yeah!" "Let's fight them" "Young men..." "I hate the Japanese no less than you do" "But do you realize that we're going to die after all this and all our people will be wiped out?" "Our ancestors shed their blood in exchange for our lives" "Now we're taking our children along to the battlefield to shed blood" "We're Seediq Bale, aren't we?" "Temu, does your father know you're here?" "My father told me that I should ask Chief Mouna to help us youngsters get our faces tattooed" "Father?" "If we want revenge, it'd be the business of Mehebu Clan alone" "But if we're offering a blood sacrifice to our ancestors it will be the business of all the 1 2 clans in Wushe" "Keep it a secret before action" "We must tell none of the elders, children or women in all these clans" "When did you..." "I'm speaking here." "Are you listening?" "Keep it a secret before action" "I knew Chief Mouna had a plan already" "What do you know?" "It's your idea and your responsibility" "Inform the chiefs of all the 12 clans" "Tomorrow morning... we're going to gather in Wushe" "and offer a blood sacrifice" "Our ancestors' spirits..." "We're here for the guns." "Sorry to disturb you" "That old drunkard Mouna Rudo really can't take it anymore?" "I'll ask the young men to get ready before they all get dead drunk" "Young man, how dare you tell me these in front of the police station!" "No, I won't do it" "Won't do it?" "Chief Dahdo... the chiefs of the other clans have all agreed to join us and everything is ready now" "Fighting the Japanese will lead us to death only" "We've had three chiefs in our family that died of fighting the Japanese" "Now we've stooped to bring you kids up to carry on the lifeline of our people not to get killed on the battlefield" "Chief..." "We're not afraid of death" "Even Chief Mouna agreed to do it" "Chief Dahdo, they'll laugh at us if you don't do it" "They can laugh at me for all I care" "I'll never allow our Gungu Clan to join the battle." "Period" "But Chief..." "Chief!" "Are you going to be a hunter forever without guns or hunting grounds?" "You have no tattoo on your face Don't forget whom you're talking to" "What do we do now?" "Tado, look!" "Only the gun barrel is left" "No way" "I won't allow our young clansmen to sacrifice themselves in vain with you maniacs" "But..." "I won't let out this secret of yours" "Bring your women and children here to our Paran Clan to keep the bloodline of your clan" "What are you doing?" "Hello, sir!" "Come closer" "Stop fooling around!" "Go home and clean your places up" "Yes, sir" "Go on!" "Sorry" "Okay, ready" "One, two, three" "I'm not going in" "Make me proud in tomorrow's games" "Can you stay with us, Father?" "No, I can't." "I have to go back before dark" "You're spending the night here Be a good boy, you hear?" "See you then" "Bye" "Take care" "Let's go!" "Why did you get all our hounds to bark like crazy?" "Chief Mouna, didn't you say that you wouldn't do it?" "Dakis, you're nothing but a police dog wearing a collar" "Did your master send you here as a persuader?" "Tado!" "Dakis, you haven't answered my question from last time" "When you die, are you entering a Japanese shrine or the heavenly home of our ancestors?" "Are you Dakis?" "Or Hanaoka lchiro?" "I'm a true Seediq tribesman. I am!" "But..." "lf you are, take off your uniform and offer blood sacrifice to our ancestors with us tomorrow" "You know well how many soldiers the Japanese have" "You're going to get killed for nothing" "There are more Japanese people than the tree leaves in the forest than the pebbles in Jhuoshuei River" "But my determination to fight them is more adamant than Mt." "Chilai" "If your civilization wants us to cringe" "I'll show you the pride of savages" "The true Seediq tribesmen" "Listen carefully, Dakis" "A Seediq Bale can lose his body but he fights to keep his soul at all cost" "A Seediq who loses his soul will be forsaken by our ancestors' spirits" "Do you understand my child?" "There are over 130 guns in the Wushe substation and many boxes of ammunition too" "On the sports day tomorrow" "Jiro..." "Dakis Nawi will be on duty" "I'll tell him everything beforehand" "Father, will he betray us?" "No, he won't" "Can't believe all the gunpowder I spent years collecting will go to waste" "What is it, Pihu?" "They're all cowards!" "Chief, only six clans are willing to join us" "A little more than 300 men in all -300 men?" "I tried so hard to persuade them" "I was so incensed that I nearly drew my machete" "But they..." "Take it easy" "Chief..." "It's quite enough to have 300." "Go home quietly" "Don't get caught before action" "Chief..." "Get out of here." "All of you" "Get out!" "The sun..." "You don't think I know what you men are up to, do you?" "I'm the chief's daughter" "Wherever you're going the children and I will follow" "Your job is to guard this firepan and keep the fire burning" "When it's time to leave I'll take you along with me" "Yamada!"

"After that?" "Come to Mehebu Clan for a drink" "Chief Mouna!" "Where are they?" "Aren't they here yet?" "They're all here but Chief Dahdo doesn't allow our Gungu Clan to join in the battle" "Everyone's trying to convince him" "Have all the police stations been annihilated?" "We've burned down every one of them" "I said no" "Our clan is big." "We must join in" "Chief Dahdo... even a boar fights back when driven to bay Why don't you understand?" "I'd rather be punished by the Japanese than have our whole clan wiped out" "My children, don't you remember how your fathers died?" "No one from our Gungu Clan is allowed to go" "Are you frightened to death by the Japanese?" "Or are you spoiled by them?" "Chief!" "Chief Mouna!" "You know well that we're bound to lose this battle" "Why do you insist on fighting it?" "Because of our ancestral spirit that's soon to be forgotten" "Look at these young men" "Their faces are clean without the Seediq tattoos" "Do you want to see their souls forsaken by our ancestors' spirits?" "Or don't you think they're qualified to be Seediq Bale with hands stained with blood?" "Ancestral spirit?" "Ancestral spirit!"

"Hurry up and call!" "What happened?" "What the hell?" "The Wushe savages have revolted" "The Wushe savages have revolted" "Hurry up and call!" "Yes?" "What?" "The Wushe savages are massacring the Japanese?" "The Japanese knew already" "The savages are likely to charge all the way into Puli" "We're afraid even the plainsmen might seize the opportunity to join in the revolt" "This is an emergency" "All county governments please send in their armies and police forces to lay siege to Wushe from Hualien and Tunghih" "And I want to know if the Governor-general can dispatch the troops" "Takun, what are you doing?" "Takun!" "You've got blood all over your body" "Takun!" "What's wrong with you?" "Chief, today Mouna Rudo from Mehebu Clan led the Seediqs from Tgdaya to offer a blood sacrifice to our ancestors" "They've occupied the whole Wushe region" "We Seediqs from Toda should join them as well" "Let's kill this Japanese man!" "No way!" "Kojima is our friend He's a good Japanese, not a bad one" "Go away!" "Temu!" "You're the chief of all the Seediqs from Toda" "Why don't you drive the Japanese away and lead your own people?" "Why should you expect the good Japanese to rule us?" "He's right!" "We don't have any Japanese friends" "Don't come any closer!" "Have I been bad to you?" "Kojima..." "Is this how you repay me?" "I can't fight back if you want me dead" "But the Japanese government will do anything to punish you" "We might as well die together" "Kojima!" "We have airplanes, but do you?" "We have machineguns and cannons, but do you?" "Think about how Mouna Rudo used to insult you" "Last time when we're out hunting they threatened to kill you all" "Don't you remember?" "Are you willing to die with them in the battlefield?" "Take it easy!" "There's more!" "Hurry up!" "Father, why did you give up Hakaw Supeitei?" "Come on, let's go back to our clan" "Back to our clan?" "You're giving up here as well?" "Tado, you can't think like the Japanese when fighting them" "You have to think like the wind" "The wind?" "The wind is invisible" "Baso, give up everything, everyone and come back to the clan with me" "Japanese airplanes!" "Over there!" "Fire!" "Shoot it!" "Come on!" "Are you so scared?" "Are you really so scared?" "I went head hunting for the first time when I was 15" "I was so nervous that my arms and legs were trembling" "But my eyes were sharp as arrows" "As soon as I cut the enemy's head off" "I forgot what it was like to be scared because I knew I'd go back to my clan to feast and celebrate, being treated as a hero" "They would respect me for my bravery" "However, it's different this time" "We successfully offered a blood sacrifice to our ancestors today and are now qualified to stride over the rainbow bridge but what awaits us now is not a festive feast but to choose how we die" "Run the electricity!" "Before we initiated the revolt you knew it'd turn out like this, didn't you?" "My children..." "You've been very brave today" "Our ancestors' spirits have seen it all" "But the battle to come is the real one" "It's a battle that will terrify the invaders" "My children don't be afraid" "Every one of you is a Seediq Bale" "Our ancestors' spirits know we're good warriors guarding our hunting grounds" "The blood stains on your hands can prove it" "Remember..." "let's cross the rainbow bridge together" "Attack!" "Officer Goto!" "What the hell are these savages up to?" "The women and children from Boarung Clan are all here" "Come on, let's go!" "Have you packed up enough clothes, Mahung?" "Yes, I have" "Pawan, you kids know how to get there" "Take the Boarung women and children along with those of us that are ready" "Baso, I'm no longer a child" "Don't let the dogs follow us." "We don't have enough food" "Jiro, let me stay with you" "Jiro!" "Let go of me!" "All pregnant women go to Paran Clan" "Auntie, I'm the wife of a policeman but I'm the daughter of the Gungu Chief as well" "Auntie, let go of me!" "Give birth to your child in Paran Clan" "Jiro!" "I want to stay with you!" "I don't want to go there, Auntie!" "I don't want to go there!" "I want to stay with you!" "They're all pregnant" "The Japanese won't harm them" "This is Officer Kabasoa, sir" "He's a local policeman and he knows the Wushe savages very well" "Then why are you still alive?" "He was not there when the incident happened" "General, according to our investigation there are six clans involved in the revolt over 300 warriors in all" "Warriors?" "You call them "warriors"" "Each of these clans took actions separately at dawn and annihilated the local police stations" "Then they got together to besiege Wushe" "That's why we don't think it incidental" "They had been planning it carefully from the beginning" "Planning it carefully?" "Mr. Kabasoa?" "Don't you think you're overestimating these savages?" "General, all our reinforcements were under fatal attacks yesterday" "This is nothing but animal-like savagery" "Once the rain stops, we'll besiege them immediately" "Yes, sir!" "Pawan!" "What is it?" "The cavern is right up ahead You can carry these over by yourselves" "We have to go now" "But where to?" "No, Mother!" "Grandmother!" "Mother!" "Grandmother!" "No, Mother!" "Grandmother!" "What are you doing?" "Mother, don't!" "Grandmother!" "What are you doing?" "Chief Mouna and others will be here soon" "Grandmother!" "Mother!" "You'll have to fight the Japanese for a long time" "There's not enough food for all of us" "What are you talking about?" "Chief Mouna told us we're going to fight our decisive battle soon" "Grandmother!" "Pawan!" "I'm so glad that you're a warrior now guarding our hunting grounds" "We'll be waiting for you at the other end of the rainbow bridge" "You'll be meeting us after you finish your glorious battles" "Stop following us!" "Fight for your hunting grounds" "Mother!" "Grandmother, don't you want me anymore?" "Mother!" "Pawan, please tell my husband Watan that I'll have the wine ready for him at the other end of the rainbow bridge" "Watan is building up huts in the cavern You can go tell him yourself" "Lubi!" "Lubi!" "Stop following us!" "Mother!" "Don't follow us!" "Mother, don't!" "Please..." "Mother!" "Don't cry" "Grandmother!" "Listen to me... you're a grownup man now" "Go on!" "Grandmother!" "To the battlefield!" "Fight for your hunting grounds!" "Grandmother!" "To the battlefield!" "Grandmother!" "Mother!" "Grandmother!" "Mother!" "Don't go, Mother!" "Grandmother!" "Mother..." "With tears in my eyes" "I'm walking along a wide road" "I beseech you" "Tell me if your hearts are at peace" "Oh, poor innocent children" "What's the matter with you?" "We're really exhausted" "Hanako?" "You look just as pretty as you were on our wedding day" "Good boy!" "Close your eyes!" "My child, let's go together" "Jiro?" "Are we the subjects of Japan's Mikado?" "Or the descendants of the Seediq ancestors?" "Do it" "Cut it up and end your conflicts right here and now" "We don't have to go anywhere once we're dead" "Let's both be free wandering spirits" "Thank you" "Chief, are we going for the decisive battle tomorrow?" "Ah, it hurtrs!" "Chief, the wounds are still fresh" "Pawan, you're not a child anymore" "Chief, can we fight the decisive battle now?" "What's happening?" "Give me the gun!" "Let's go!" "Stop!" "The savages!" "Over there!" "What the hell?" "Fire!" "Retreat!" "All retreat!" "Seek covers!" "Down there!" "Quite slippery here" "Are you alright?" "Halt, everyone!" "Jump!" "Retreat downhill!" "Hide!" "Out of the way!" "Machine gun!" "Step back!" "Take aim!" "You're aiming too high!" "Hold on to your guns!" "Come on, fire it, Sapu!" "What are you waiting for?" "I can't fire it" "Move over!" "I'll do it!" "Come on!" "Hurry up!" "What the hell?" "Fell asleep or something?" "Over there!" "Come on!" "He's gone!" "If I aim at the rock deliberately will the bullet bounce off and hit the officer over there?" "Why don't you give it a try?" "No, it won't" "Have you two got too many bullets?" "No, but that is a military officer with a katana sword" "Chief, Tado robbed a couple of machineguns" "Chief Mouna asked us to bring you one and... here's the ammunition and... and this bag of sweet potatoes" "Kids nowadays are so weak" "Look how they pant with so little running" "Do you know how to use it?" "I don't think this machinegun works" "Why did you give me one that doesn't work?" "That damned Mouna!" "Chief Dahdo..." "My Paran relatives told me... that your entire family committed suicide" "Chief Dahdo, a bigger and more powerful army is coming our way" "They have lots of cannons" "Pawan, when I was young" "I was no less strong or brave than your Mehebu Chief Mouna Rudo you understand?" "Awi, lead the group and retreat to Rkudaya" "Chief!" "Chief!" "Chief!" "Fire!" "Retreat!" "To Rkudaya!" "Give it to me!" "Let's go!" "Retreat to Rkudaya!" "Our chief's dead!" "Come on!" "Pihu, come on!" "Retreat to Rkudaya!" "Come on!" "To Rkudaya!" "Come on!" "Let's go!" "Come on!" "Run in separate ways!" "Let's meet up in Rkudaya!" "Hurry up!" "Come on!" "Awi, come on!" "Here comes the airplane again!" "Why is Pihu still there?" "Come on!" "Hurry up, Pihu!" "The bridge is collapsing!" "Come on, the bridge is collapsing!" "With thousands of soldiers and all kinds of powerful weapons and you ended up being toyed with by 300 savages?" "And you call yourselves military officers?" "Those savages played hit and run" "They're like ghosts" "They ran easily over the ragged mountain paths that we barely walked properly on" "We never knew where they came from or where they disappeared to" "They were so unpredictable" "For example, a kid named Pawan Nawi..." "We saw him here the day before yesterday but we found him here yesterday" "Then he was here today" "These are three different places far away from one another" "No one knows how he managed to do so" "Pawan, have you fought any battle?" "Pawan!" "Chief Mouna!" "Chief Dahdo Nokan from Gungu Clan was killed in a battle" "Has anyone seen Mouna Rudo yet?" "Answer me!" "No, sir" "That old bastard!" "He had the guts to revolt but he dares not confront me personally" "What kind of warrior is he?" "What kind of chief is he?" "Be quiet!" "They've got lines and lines of defense and endless reinforcement" "I can't believe those savages would have battle plans so well-knit" "Ask the high command to provide us with gas bombs" "Gas bombs?" "I wanted you to be civilized but you forced me to be savage" "You're Mouna Rudo" "but I'm Kamada Yahiko" "From now on... you're part of the Japanese military and police forces" "You'll have to follow our wartime decrees" "Those of you who fight bravely will be rewarded accordingly" "But those of you who fail to take orders from the Japanese police or run away will be punished harshly by law" "Do you understand?" "Mouna Rudo!" "Gas bombs?" "But sir, gas bombs are still being experimented on" "We don't know the effects yet" "Yes, sir" "But currently it's not ready for use" "Yes, sir" "Come on!" "Watan, you go that way!" "Out of the way!" "Don't stop!" "Run!" "Shoot!" "Shoot him!" "A Seediq from Tgdaya!" "Where?" "He's over there!" "Burn it down!" "Temu!" "Come on!" "Run!" "Let me help you, Awi" "I'm ready" "Let go, my brother" "Pihu Walis..." "Don't go!" "Let go!" "I'm in great pain" "Don't go" "Chief Mouna!" "It's me, Pawan" "Chief Mouna!" "It's me, Pawan Nawi" "Chief Mouna, we heard what Baso told you" "We know that a large number of Japanese soldiers have gathered in Suku Clan" "Time for the decisive battle, isn't it?" "Chief Mouna, we have no family now Why don't you let us fight?" "Like everyone else, none of us can sleep or eat and we don't want to be killed by gas bombs" "Chief Mouna, look at the tattoos on our faces We're not children anymore" "Please let us fight the Japanese like everybody else" "Then I can have a good, long rest" "We're so tired" "We're really exhausted" "I'm not fighting anymore!" "No more!" "You son of a bitch!" "What do you mean by not fighting?" "Kojima!" "What do you mean by that?" "Ko¤ima!" "Pick it up!" "Pick up your gun!" "Out of my way!" "Temu!" "We fight to offer blood sacrifice to our ancestors not to revenge the death of your family" "Temu, I know what you saw but Mouna Rudo has spread the word asking for your head" "This is not the time to make trouble" "Is that our man?" "Get him!" "He's a savage!" "Come on!" "Stop!" "What's wrong?" "A savage ran over the suspension bridge into the woods" "Gather up!" "Gather up, First Team!" "Gather up!" "Good" "Come closer..." "Good" "Stop, you little bastard" "Aoki!" "Okubo!" "Aoki!" "Where are you?" "Aoki!" "Okubo!" "Aoki!" "Aoki!" "Okubo!" "Let's split up and search!" "Aoki!" "Stop!" "Everybody, stop!" "Where are you?" "Okubo!" "Someone's there!" "Where?" "ln that tree!" "Get down!" "Get down!" "Hide!" "Machineguns?" "Get the mortars!" "Signalman!" "Signalman!" "Here come the savages!" "It's you then" "Chief, Baso is hit!" "Baso!" "Baso!" "Baso!" "We're in the Mehebu Forest" "Baso!" "Baso!" "Baso, are you alright?" "Baso, be still!" "Retreat!" "Come on, retreat!" "Get out!" "Get out!" "Hurry!" "Get in!" "Come on!" "Inside the hut!" "Come on!" "Get in!" "Come on!" "Out of here!" "Don't come in!" "Get out!" "Come on!" "Run!" "Yes, sir" "Is it Mehebu Clan?" "Yes, sir" "Aim all cannons at the Mehebu Forest" "End this battle before the sun's out" "Tado!" "Kill me!" "Come on!" "It hurts so badly!" "Out of the way!" "Cut my head off!" "You hear me?" "Get off him!" "It's beautiful" "So beautiful" "Stop firing please" "They ran away" "Fight till you drop!" "Seediq Bale!" "Fire the cannons!" "Fire!" "We're under attack!" "You damned Japanese!" "Get out of our territory!" "That's one favor I did you Mehebus today helping you drive our the intruders" "Out of my way!" "Let me kill them!" "Temu, give me the bullets!" "Climb up there!" "Sine!" "Sine!" "Sine!" "Sine!" "Sine!" "Stop!" "Come back here!" "You take care of him!" "Load the guns!" "Come on!" "Pawan?" "You Japanese are finished!" "Quick!" " Catch him!" "Off with his head!" "Stop!" "Don't let him slip away!" "Mouna Rudo!" "Stop running!" "Kill until our blood runs out!" "The heavenly home of our ancestors, here we come!" "I'm a chief, not your little brother" "Iyung!" "Iyung!" "Don't touch it, Iyung" "Iyung!" "What are you doing?" "Move!" "Look out!" "It's falling down!" "Pawan!" "Get out of there!" "Pawan, get out now!" "Pawan!" "Iyung!" "Iyung!" "Are you alright?" "Pawan, I've got a good gun" "What's wrong?" "Batu!" "Dakis!" "Move!" "Ubus!" "Come on!" "The Japanese are out!" "Watch out over there!" "There's one behind him!" "Don't go there!" "Stop!" "Bomb!" "So you're Mouna Rudo" "Now I see you clearly" "Tado, how do we dodge those cannons?" "Chief, let this ghost lead the way" "Fire!" "Look!" "Cherry blossoms everywhere!" "Once upon a time on Mt." "White Stone there was a big tree called Pusu Qhuni" "The tree trunk was half wood, half stone" "One day, a boy and a girl were born from the tree trunk" "Then the couple gave birth to lots of children and here we are, the Seediq Bale" "300 warriors against thousands of soldiers" "Those survived the battle killed themselves eventually" "Why did I see in such a remote mountain area in Taiwan the bushido of samurais that died over a century ago in Japan?" "Is it because the cherry blossoms here are far too red?" "No, these flowers have bloomed early this year" "It isn't the season of cherry blossoms yet" "(On October 27, 1930)" "(The Seediq tribe of Taiwan's mountain region burst into large-scale revolt)" "(Of the 1,236 people of the six tribes that took up arms)" "(less than 300 survived after 50 days of battle)" "(The few surviving tribesmen were forced) (to relocate to a compound along Peikang River)" "(where the Japanese could monitor them easily)" "(As of today, they have never returned to their homeland)" "Behold!" "The beautiful rainbow over the hilltop!" "My wife and children, have you brewed the wine?" "Drink it!" "The wine we offer to our ancestors' spirits" "Behold!" "What beautiful rainbow!" "My ancestors are calling me!" "My wife and children!" "Are you on your way to meet our ancestors spirits?" "We should get going too" "Stand still, our people who keep the bloodline going" "We will be proud like a true Seediq" "Our bodiless spirits will be watching over you f¤om the rainbow bridge" "Behold!" "What beautiful rainbow!" "My ancestors are calling me!" "My wife and children!" "Are you on your way to meet our ancestors spirits?" "We should be on our way too" "Tell every child to live on forever" "To live on like a true Seediq" "Our bodiless spirits will keep you company in the woods" "Look!" "Drink!" "Drink!" "What a beautiful sky!" "We should be on our way" "Look!" "Drink!" "Drink!" "What a beautiful sky!" "We should be on our way" "Children!" "Did you see that?" "We see the rainbow" "Children!"
