calling out to your father,

with this magic sword.

Before you started on your heroic
quest, what were you like?

708

Well, I looked after my mother mostly.

709
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:36,760
And I told stories about mighty
warriors seeking revenge

710
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:40,208
with battles, and monsters, and magic.

711
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,163
I was pretty good at telling them.

712
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:44,645
Not so good at ending them.

713
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:49,400
Sometimes I would tell my mother
stories about little things.

714
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,240
Like skimming rocks across the river

715
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,560
or catching fireflies
in the mulberry fields.

716
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:59,766
And when I told those stories,
I could see her eyes were mostly clear.

717
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,049
I could tell she saw me.

718
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:04,289
Really saw me.

719
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:06,880
I could see her, too.

01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:06,560
He's exhausted.

904
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:07,641
Mmm.

905
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:09,640
Me, too.

906
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:11,449
I'm not tucking you in.

908
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:17,041
You're hurt.

909
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:20,125
It's just a scratch.

910
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:27,924
Monkey, why didn't you tell him
sooner who you really are?

911
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:34,129
The magic that keeps me here, it's fading.

912
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:36,970
Soon I'll be gone.

913
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,240
And then Kubo will be alone again.

914
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:41,481
Not alone.

915
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:44,280
He is the son of Hanzo.

916
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:47,807
I will do everything I can
to keep him from harm.

917
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:50,284
Thank you, Beetle.

918
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:55,482
To know Kubo has someone
to watch over him when I'm gone.

919
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:59,845
That would be a fine way to end my story.

920
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:04,322
Your story will never end.

921
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:09,160
It will be told by him
and by the people he shares it with.

922
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:11,368
And by the people they share it with.

923
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:16,320
And by the people they share it with,
and by the people they share it with.

924

- And by the people...
- Beetle.

925
01:08:18,480 --> 01:08:23,008

It's here?

942

Follow the setting sun and you'll find it,

943
01:09:54,440 --> 01:09:57,603
in the place that
might have been your home.

944
01:09:58,440 --> 01:10:01,205

Well, it doesn't mean
anything in particular.

skeleton with swords in its head.

It's beautiful.

985
01:12:14,480 --> 01:12:17,927
Many say the song's about
what happens when we die.

986
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:22,123
How we don't just disappear.

987

We don't?

Uh, so, what happens to us?

Well, like Kubo's paper, we shift.

our story to another place.

You'll be stuck down here in this hell,

1084
01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:58,320
staring with that lonely eye
at hate and heartache

1085
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:02,485
and suffering and death.

1086
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:07,091
Where I want to take you,

1087
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:10,480
we have none of those things.

1088
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:13,848
It'll just be you with your family.

1089
01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:15,760
Where you belong.

1090
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:18,000
My family is gone.

1091
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:20,680
- You killed them.
- No...

1092
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:24,360
They brought their fates upon themselves

1093
01:23:24,440 --> 01:23:29,600
They disgraced me and upset
the order of everything

1094
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:31,762
That's how your story goes.

Oh, Kubo...

1097
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:40,240
When you're up there with me,
you will be beyond stories.

1098
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:44,769
You will be immortal.

1099
01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:46,929

1102

No. You're wrong, not infinite.

1103
01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:57,601
All stories have an end.

1104
01:23:58,160 --> 01:24:00,128
Is that right?

1105
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:04,123
And how does this story end?

1106
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:08,680
I kill you.

1107
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:09,761
Oh.

1108
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:12,880
Very well. Is this your wish,

1109
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:17,360
to do battle with a hideous monster
who ruined your life,

1110
01:24:17,440 --> 01:24:22,162
to prove your worth
like your doomed father?

1111
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:24,489
How mortal.

This is the end of your story.

1129

Now, take one last
look with that lonely eye,

1130
01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:58,571
one last look at this wretched
place you call home.

1131
01:26:59,960 --> 01:27:01,849
I'm not leaving.

1132
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:07,402
For every horrible thing down here,
there's something far more beautiful.

1133
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:09,680
My mother saw it.

1134
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:12,161
So did my father. I see it.

1135
01:27:12,440 --> 01:27:14,249
Even with just one eye.

1136
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:18,644
Then I'll just have to
rip it out of your head again,

1137
01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:20,160
won't I?

If you must blink, do it now.

I know why you want my eye.

1141
01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:37,328
Because without it, I can't look into
the eyes of another and see their soul.

1142
01:27:37,640 --> 01:27:41,247
- Their love...
- Everything you loved is gone

1143
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:45,480
Everything you knew
has been taken from you

No.

01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:48,280
It's in my memories.

These are the memories
of those we have loved and lost.

And if we hold their stories
deep in our hearts,

1151

then you will never
take them away from us.

No, I... I'm sorry, young man.

01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:14,446
But I seem to have forgotten my story.

No, we'll all tell him.

Every day, you walk around smiling
and handing out coins to children.

01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:42,840

And you give blankets to the poor.

Kubo?

I'm sorry.

01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:21,890
But I... But I don't remember.

He'll tell you all the stories
you've forgotten.

1191
01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:33,326
Really?

1192
01:30:36,760 --> 01:30:38,125
Of course.

I know my stories can tend
to get a little, um, long,

01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:17,886
so I'll keep this brief.

1197

I'm very grateful I've had
the chance to meet you both,

hear your wisdom, feel your kindness,

But it could still be a whole lot happier.

I don't know exactly what the rules are

or how this works,
but if there were any way to...

You know, I still need you.

a happy story, or I could feel it.
