Gannibal (2022) s01e04 Episode Script
Line of Sight
(eerie music)
COP 1: Come on.
OKAYAMA POLICE
(sniffing)
(indistinct chatter)
Yes.
(dog barking)
(camera shutter clicks)
(camera shutter clicks)
COP 2: This is an urgent situation.
This is an urgent situation. Over.
-(indistinct radio chatter)
-(camera shutter clicks)
COP 2: The victim's body is already
a skeleton, it didn't have any clothes.
It's not in its complete form.
The location of the bone parts
There are neither personal belongings
nor articles left behind
(camera shutter clicking)
This verifies his statement.
It's almost certain
that Mutsuo Goto murdered Kano.
Mutsuo turned himself in,
because he failed to kill me,
and to exonerate the rest of the Gotos
from any blame.
He wasn't the one who gave me this wound.
It was someone they called "That Man."
CHIEF: About that
Maybe you have the wrong idea.
Is there anyone
who can corroborate your story?
Excuse me?
We canvassed the neighborhood.
No one in Kuge Village remembers
seeing a giant like you describe.
The Gotos must've told everyone
to say the same thing.
Enough.
Like I said,
you shouldn't get involved
with the Goto family.
Their solidarity is unshakable.
(car approaching)
(car doors open, closes)
COP 3: Hey, stand back!
MAN 1: They're here.
MAN 2: We don't have to listen to you.
(suspenseful music)
(light music)
Seriously
I don't understand you guys.
I don't expect you to understand us.
But bear in mind,
not all of us think like Mutsuo.
KEISUKE: Let's go.
(theme music)
See you.
WOMAN 1: I can't believe it.
WOMAN 2: I heard it's nasty.
WOMAN 1:
I wish they'd do something about it.
(women laugh)
-WOMAN 2: Let's go inside.
-WOMAN 1: Yeah.
Hi there.
(cell phone buzzing)
Hello?
DAIGO: It's Agawa.
Can you talk now?
Yes.
Your father
Mr. Kano's body has been found.
DAIGO: I thought he might still be alive.
But
I was wrong.
I'm very sorry.
SUMIRE: I understand.
(somber music)
(sobbing)
CHIEF: Agawa.
There's something I need
to discuss with you about your future.
Sure.
The police officer
in Yata Village is about to retire.
I'd like you to take over his post
if it's okay with you.
What do you think?
You must've realized by now
that Kuge isn't an ordinary village.
I won't be able to cover for you
if you cause more trouble there.
You can start over in a new place.
(somber music)
Can I think about it?
Sure.
YUKI: It's all finished, right?
Yeah.
What's the matter?
It's nothing.
Hm?
So
I was offered a new post in Yata Village.
With everything that's happened,
it might be a good idea
to start over in a new place.
What do you want to do?
I
Why not ask Mashiro?
She won't respond.
Mashiro!
Mashiro, do you want
to go back to Kuge Village?
LET'S USE THIS NOTEBOOK TO TALK A LOT!
(Yuki exhales sharply)
There you go.
Let's go home.
YUKI: All right. Give me that.
(zippers rasp)
DAIGO: Mashiro!
All right!
Hey. Mashiro, did you just smile?
-YUKI: Mashiro, look at me.
-DAIGO: Mashiro!
YUKI AND DAIGO: She smiled!
-YUKI: You smiled, didn't you?
-DAIGO: Did you?
-(Daigo whooping)
-(Yuki laughs)
YUKI AND DAIGO: She's smiling!
DAIGO: Let's go.
Okay!
Let's do this!
-DAIGO: Yay!
-YUKI: Ahh!
(Yuki chuckles)
(door shuts)
(insects screeching)
(calm music)
(bell chiming)
Toki!
All done!
Okay.
Great.
(sighs)
TOKI: Thank you.
Thank you for your help as always.
(chuckles)
Take these with you.
-(Daigo laughs)
-Here.
-Really? There are so many.
-Of course.
My wife and daughter will be so pleased.
Thank you.
DAIGO: Call me if you need my help again.
TOKI: Thanks.
-Take care.
-DAIGO: Okay.
Thank you!
-TOKI: Thanks again.
-DAIGO: Oops.
-(Toki laughs)
-DAIGO: See you!
(insects screeching)
DAIGO: Hello.
WOMAN 3: Officer!
Help me change my screen door next time.
-Of course.
-WOMAN 3: Thanks.
(engine revving)
(door opens)
DAIGO: I'm home.
Hi.
Dinner's almost ready.
DAIGO: Toki gave us some peaches again.
YUKI: Wow! They look delicious!
Mashiro, look.
-Peaches.
-Peaches.
Don't they look good?
Hm? You want the box?
If so, could you put the peaches
in the fridge, please?
OKAYAMA PEACHES
She smiles a lot these days.
Yeah.
(both chuckle)
-Peaches.
-Peaches.
(Yuki chattering indistinctly)
(sighs)
SUMIRE: It's a satellite phone.
The last incoming call to my dad's phone.
I tried calling it but no one answered.
-(Yuki chattering indistinctly)
-(water churning)
(Yuki humming)
(line beeping)
AUTOMATED VOICE (in English):
Your call cannot be completed,
because the number you have dialed
is outside the service area
or the telephone may be switched off.
(tense music)
What's this?
(line ringing)
MAN: Tastes good, right?
(indistinct chatter)
-Hey!
-What are you doing?
Hold on.
Here you go!
-Here.
-Thank you.
Thank you! That will do.
-Thank you!
-No problem.
Cheers!
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
This is delicious.
I can't thank you enough
for saving Daigo the other day.
You don't need to keep thanking me.
I was just doing my job as a fireman.
YUKI: I really appreciate it.
Actually, I thought he was dead
when I first found him by the river.
His head was cracked open
and he was covered in blood.
-Yeah. It left a scar.
-KUNIHISA: I know.
GILR: Mashiro! Let's play!
Go on.
KUNIHISA: Does it hurt?
(chuckles)
-(Sabu yelps)
-(women gasp)
Mr. Sabu!
-My drink
-Are you okay?
-Okay.
-I'm up.
That's mine.
-I know!
-It's mine.
(laughs)
This
He's more responsible
than he looks.
Keep being nice with him, okay?
You've had too much to drink, Mr. Sabu.
As you can see,
the aging population in this village
is skyrocketing.
Young ones like him are so valuable
to the village.
I'm still considered
-a youngster in this village.
-(Yuki chuckles)
Hold on.
-That's not true at all.
-Hey!
Kunitoshi! You
YUKI: I've got it.
But most of the Goto family
are fairly young.
(background chatter)
Officer!
Don't mention that name
when we're drinking.
-Yeah!
-No.
SABU: Actually, this might be a good time.
Everybody!
Quiet down.
I have something important to say.
(Sabu grunts)
(sighs)
You have to understand
that the Goto family
is not a part of Kuge Village.
I know.
You guys are so kind to us,
and we're grateful.
Thanks.
DAIGO: Let me ask you something
while I have the chance.
Hm?
Did you guys know that Mr. Kano
was in some kind of dispute
with the Goto family?
(breathes deeply)
Yes.
We feel responsible.
SABU: To make a living here,
we need timber
from the land owned by the Goto family.
Forestry is what keeps
the village's economy alive.
We couldn't afford
to antagonize
the Goto family
who employ us.
So
we looked the other way.
We know it was unforgivable.
We're all deeply sorry.
We're as guilty
as Mr. Kano's murderer.
SABU: You can blame us all you like.
(sobs)
We regret it immensely.
I'm so sorry.
(sobbing)
Thanks.
(sobs)
You guys didn't do anything wrong.
Nobody in the village is to blame.
Come on, folks. Let's have another drink.
You too, Mr. Sabu.
SABU: Oh.
-This is the only thing I can drink.
-All right already!
Hey! Why do you guys look so glum?
Now drink!
(overlapping chatter)
CROWD: Mr. Sabu!
Mr. Sabu!
Mr. Sabu!
KUNIHISA: This tastes awful!
SABU: What did you say?
-Drink it!
-KUNIHISA: Ew.
(loud chattering)
Listen up!
As of today,
the officer and his family
are formally members of the village!
(all cheering)
(light music)
-Hurray for Mashiro!
-(shrieks)
YUKI: Don't start! Jin!
Yay!
Be careful!
-(overlapping chatter)
-(laughter)
DAIGO: Thanks, Yuki.
For not abandoning me.
YUKI: Where did that come from?
I couldn't have coped without you.
You saved me.
Stop it.
I'm the same.
I couldn't have coped alone, either.
After what happened
to Mashiro
I'd never abandon you.
The three of us
have to stick together.
(soft music)
You're my savior
whether you like it or not.
(chuckles)
(sniffles)
The three of us,
we'll be fine if we have each other.
DAIGO: Yeah.
YUKI: Yeah.
-Mm! Mmm!
-DAIGO: Mm.
(soft music)
(panting)
DAIGO: Mm
(Yuki breathes heavily)
(Yuki moaning)
(thumps on window)
-Eh? What's the matter?
-I saw someone.
What?
YUKI: What's going on?
Don't worry, go back inside.
MURDERER
(foreboding music)
You're kidding me.
SABU: What the hell?
Mr. Sabu.
(car door slams)
SABU: This is horrible.
Why?
We're all aware of your situation.
But I can't believe someone in our village
would do something like this.
(sighs)
I saw the culprit running away.
Who was it?
It was one of the Gotos
who's always with Keisuke.
One of the Gotos
Hey!
I don't care who did it.
Just clean it off!
Okay. I'll help.
YUKI: Thank you.
(suspenseful music)
KEISUKE: It's been a while.
We were just about
to visit the substation.
The idiot was bragging about what he did.
He's been punished. Can we forget it?
Forget about it?
KEISUKE: Yeah.
You wrote that on my wall, didn't you?
What's he on about?
Oh.
I saw it, too. The writing on the wall.
It said "murderer."
You son of a gun!
It wasn't me.
-Then who?
-Beats me.
Only you lot would do that kind of thing.
KEISUKE: Whoa.
Everything is our fault, huh?
You're like Kano.
Making accusations against us.
Are you still going to pester us?
-You guys started it.
-Huh?
RYUJI: Officer,
I think you trust them too much.
-They're a bunch of sneaky scumbags.
-(bell rings)
MAN 4: Oh, excuse me.
Good morning.
I didn't realize you were here.
We'll start unloading right away.
-Come on.
-Sorry to keep you waiting.
(tense music)
I don't think
you should trust them too much.
(metal clanking)
(ominous music)
(toilet flushes)
-Mr. Sabu.
-Yeah?
Thank you so much.
Forget it. No problem.
Remember what I said?
Your family are members
of Kuge Village now.
SABU: We'll protect you
no matter what happens.
Don't worry.
Okay. Thank you.
-Thank you.
-(Sabu chuckles)
SABU: Right, then.
See you, Mashiro!
(Sabu chuckling)
-Whoo!
-(Yuki chuckles)
(background chatter)
(shouts)
It's okay.
Mom?
Mom.
(chuckles)
(chuckles)
Who are you?
MRS. KANO: Darling? Where are you?
Someone from the village is here again,
but I don't know what to do.
Darling?
-Darling!
-SUMIRE: Mom.
Come on. It's okay.
(gloomy music)
Oh, yeah, he went missing, didn't he?
(panting)
That's why I told him
to escape while he can.
Run away!
-Run away!
-(clatters)
Run away!
Run away!
MURDERER
(gloomy music)
(sighs)
(tense music)
MRS. KANO: Run away.
Run away.
Run away.
Run away.
Run away.
Run away!
NURSE 1: Mrs. Kano.
-Take it easy.
-Run away!
Run away!
Run away!
-Run away!
-It's okay.
-Run away!
-NURSE 1: Calm down.
Let's get you back
in the wheelchair, okay?
MRS. KANO: Run away!
-NURSE 1: Mrs. Kano! Wait!
-MRS. KANO: Run away!
YUKI: Mashiro! Will you water the flowers?
MRS. KANO: Run away.
Run away!
Run away!
Run away!
Run away!
-Run away!
-Mrs. Kano.
-Run away.
-It's okay.
-Run away.
-Calm down.
-MRS. KANO: Run away.
-NURSE 2: You're okay.
(Mrs. Kano cries)
Please calm down.
MRS. KANO: Run away!
Run away.
YUKI: Mashiro.
Thanks for helping me.
For lunch today,
I was thinking of making
your favorite omelet rice or burger steak.
What would you like?
(foreboding music)
YUKI: You want omelet with rice?
-Or do you want burger steak?
-I do.
-YUKI: Okay, let's have burger steak.
-Nice.
(crunching)
-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.
(ominous music)
MAN 5: All right. Time to work.
-Go back to your posts.
-Okay.
(crickets chirping)
What's this?
People can come and go easily,
because there's no partition here.
Okay.
That's true.
SABU: Hm?
I see something new.
DAIGO: I just thought I'd put up a fence
for more security.
SABU: Good for you.
(drill whirring)
DAIGO: Just for peace of mind really.
SABU: Though I wouldn't do that,
if I were you.
Huh?
SABU: This is a tiny village
where the community is built on trust.
So it's not a good idea.
But everybody has one.
They've had them for years.
Putting up a new fence is different,
people would take of-fence to it.
Hey, that was a good pun.
(laughs)
Most of us don't even lock our doors.
You newcomers should show us
that you trust us.
SABU: That's just how it is
in Kuge Village.
Watch yourself, Officer.
What a pain.
Mm?
What did you say?
Yeah. You're right, Mr. Sabu.
Let's stop, Daigo.
Okay.
YUKI: Mr. Sabu, would you like some tea?
I can't stay.
I have to go help some of the old ladies.
-I'll drop by again soon.
-I understand.
-You're welcome here anytime.
-(Sabu chuckles)
Every time we do something new,
Mr. Sabu appears.
Okay, Mashiro. Let's go wash our hands,
gargle, and start your homework.
YUKI: I'll give you a hand.
DAIGO: Thanks.
These took me four hours
DAIGO: Hello.
You shouldn't be fighting.
That's right.
DAIGO: Hello!
(women murmuring)
SUGIYAMA TOY SHOP
STATIONERY, FISHING GEAR
-Officer.
-Yes?
Fighting's not good.
Fighting?
I heard you grabbed Mr. Sabu
when he gave you a piece of advice.
And called him
a pain-in-the-ass old geezer.
(chuckles)
I didn't grab him
and I didn't call him an old geezer.
-Is that right?
-Yeah.
Mr. Sabu does tend to exaggerate.
(both chuckle)
But you did call him
a pain in the ass, right?
That's no good.
You should respect the elderly's advice.
You're new here.
One wrong word could turn everybody
against you.
In any case,
you should apologize when you see him.
Seriously, what a pain.
DAIGO: I'm back!
What's up?
YUKI: We're going to apologize
to Mr. Sabu.
Huh?
That's not necessary.
There you go again,
only thinking about yourself.
(thunder rumbling)
Did someone say something?
Lots of "no fighting"
and "if you want to live
in this village" stuff.
It was like a sermon.
So many people scolded me
in the short time I was out.
Just ignore them.
We decided to live in this village
for Mashiro, didn't we?
(raindrops pattering)
Yeah.
Then stay out of trouble.
Got it?
I'm trying!
Don't argue with your wife, Officer.
Mr. Sabu.
You always show up at the perfect timing.
Are you spying on us or something?
(thunder rumbling)
(tense music)
Are you sure that's what
you want to say to me
right now?
YUKI: Daigo.
I owe you an apology.
I lost my temper.
I was rude to you when
you were kind enough to give me advice.
Please forgive me.
I'm glad you understand.
Everybody becomes a true member
of Kuge Village one step at a time.
Mm.
Listen.
We're going to start preparing
for the dedication festival tomorrow.
-Dedication festival?
-That's right!
It's celebrated yearly
and it's the biggest event of the village.
It's been an important festival
for Kuge Village for a long time.
It's a tradition that's been conducted
for hundreds of years.
It reaches an exciting climax
with the burning
of a human-shaped doll.
(sighs)
(Sabu chuckles)
SABU: Okay?
(indistinct chatter)
-Hello.
-Hello.
Hi.
Officer, we heard that you and your wife
got into a huge fistfight.
It wasn't that bad.
-Really?
-That's a relief.
She's such a devoted wife.
Take good care of her.
Hello.
YUKI: Hello.
-Hey!
-Hello.
Officer, I heard you apologized to Sabu.
-Good for you.
-YUKI: Thank you.
(Yuki chuckles)
They just love to gossip.
It'll get easier when we get used to it.
You're right.
-BOY 1: Go!
-BOY 2: Let's go!
-Hello.
-WOMAN 4: Hello!
Nice timing. Could you carry this inside?
-Okay.
-Mashiro, let's do the flowers over here.
Thank you.
Go on. They'll teach you how.
(cell phone buzzing)
Is it okay here?
OTHERS
(tense music)
DAIGO: Yuki.
I have to take this call.
Okay.
You're good to go.
Hey! You're here.
Take this to the back.
Okay.
KUGE VILLAGE FIREFIGHTERS
(cell phone buzzing)
Hello?
MALE VOICE: Where did you get this number?
Huh?
Who are you?
I'm Officer Agawa of the Kuge substation.
DAIGO: Are you the one
with the satellite phone
who was in contact with Mr. Kano?
MALE VOICE: Are you alone?
(distant laughter)
DAIGO (whispers): Hold on.
Go ahead.
MALE VOICE: Yes, Mr. Kano and I
were talking to each other
on a satellite phone I lent him.
What for?
I'd rather
tell you in person.
Can you meet me tomorrow?
But you have to come alone.
Wait a second.
Mr. Kano was killed
when he went to the Goto property
after he made a call
to this satellite phone.
I can't take that risk so easily.
But I wasn't the one
who took his last call.
Then who was it?
(clanking over phone)
I have to go.
(cell phone buzzes)
PLEASE COME HERE TOMORROW AT 11 A.M.
34°27'49.5"N
133°55'51.4"E
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
MALE VOICE (over speaker):
Take a left up there.
Turn right at the end
and walk down.
Shall we continue our conversation,
Mr. Agawa?
What's going on?
To run away from you if I have to.
I don't trust you yet, either.
The feeling is mutual.
Mr. Kano
trusted me.
That's why he was murdered.
No.
He was cannibalized.
Who the hell are you?
Tell me.
Someone who's not supposed
to exist in Kuge Village.
I, myself, am proof of the secret
they're desperately trying to hide.
Will you get straight to the point?
What do you mean?
(foreboding music)
This face of mine
proves it all.
You must be kidding.
I was eaten.
By someone in Kuge Village.
(closing theme music)
COP 1: Come on.

You don't need to keep thanking me.
I was just doing my job as a fireman.
YUKI: I really appreciate it.
Actually, I thought he was dead
when I first found him by the river.
His head was cracked open
and he was covered in blood.
-Yeah. It left a scar.
-KUNIHISA: I know.
GILR: Mashiro! Let's play!
Go on.
KUNIHISA: Does it hurt?
(chuckles)
-(Sabu yelps)
-(women gasp)
Mr. Sabu!
-My drink
-Are you okay?
-Okay.
-I'm up.
That's mine.
-I know!
-It's mine.
(laughs)
This
He's more responsible
than he looks.
Keep being nice with him, okay?
You've had too much to drink, Mr. Sabu.
As you can see,
the aging population in this village
is skyrocketing.
Young ones like him are so valuable
to the village.
I'm still considered
-a youngster in this village.
-(Yuki chuckles)
Hold on.
-That's not true at all.
-Hey!
Kunitoshi! You
YUKI: I've got it.
But most of the Goto family
are fairly young.
(background chatter)
Officer!
Don't mention that name
when we're drinking.
-Yeah!
-No.
SABU: Actually, this might be a good time.
Everybody!
Quiet down.
I have something important to say.
(Sabu grunts)
(sighs)
You have to understand
that the Goto family
is not a part of Kuge Village.
I know.
You guys are so kind to us,
and we're grateful.
Thanks.
DAIGO: Let me ask you something
while I have the chance.
Hm?
Did you guys know that Mr. Kano
was in some kind of dispute
with the Goto family?
(breathes deeply)
Yes.
We feel responsible.
SABU: To make a living here,
we need timber
from the land owned by the Goto family.
Forestry is what keeps
the village's economy alive.
We couldn't afford
to antagonize
the Goto family
who employ us.
So
we looked the other way.
We know it was unforgivable.
We're all deeply sorry.
We're as guilty
as Mr. Kano's murderer.
SABU: You can blame us all you like.
(sobs)
We regret it immensely.
I'm so sorry.
(sobbing)
Thanks.
(sobs)
You guys didn't do anything wrong.
Nobody in the village is to blame.
Come on, folks. Let's have another drink.
You too, Mr. Sabu.
SABU: Oh.
-This is the only thing I can drink.
-All right already!
Hey! Why do you guys look so glum?
Now drink!
(overlapping chatter)
CROWD: Mr. Sabu!
Mr. Sabu!
Mr. Sabu!
KUNIHISA: This tastes awful!
SABU: What did you say?
-Drink it!
-KUNIHISA: Ew.
(loud chattering)
Listen up!
As of today,
the officer and his family
are formally members of the village!
(all cheering)
(light music)
-Hurray for Mashiro!
-(shrieks)
YUKI: Don't start! Jin!
Yay!
Be careful!
-(overlapping chatter)
-(laughter)
DAIGO: Thanks, Yuki.
For not abandoning me.
YUKI: Where did that come from?
I couldn't have coped without you.
You saved me.
Stop it.
I'm the same.
I couldn't have coped alone, either.
After what happened
to Mashiro
I'd never abandon you.
The three of us
have to stick together.
(soft music)
You're my savior
whether you like it or not.
(chuckles)
(sniffles)
The three of us,
we'll be fine if we have each other.
DAIGO: Yeah.
YUKI: Yeah.
-Mm! Mmm!
-DAIGO: Mm.
(soft music)
(panting)
DAIGO: Mm
(Yuki breathes heavily)
(Yuki moaning)
(thumps on window)
-Eh? What's the matter?
-I saw someone.
What?
YUKI: What's going on?
Don't worry, go back inside.
MURDERER
(foreboding music)
You're kidding me.
SABU: What the hell?
Mr. Sabu.
(car door slams)
SABU: This is horrible.
Why?
We're all aware of your situation.
But I can't believe someone in our village
would do something like this.
(sighs)
I saw the culprit running away.
Who was it?
It was one of the Gotos
who's always with Keisuke.
One of the Gotos
Hey!
I don't care who did it.
Just clean it off!
Okay. I'll help.
YUKI: Thank you.
(suspenseful music)
KEISUKE: It's been a while.
We were just about
to visit the substation.
The idiot was bragging about what he did.
He's been punished. Can we forget it?
Forget about it?
KEISUKE: Yeah.
You wrote that on my wall, didn't you?
What's he on about?
Oh.
I saw it, too. The writing on the wall.
It said "murderer."
You son of a gun!
It wasn't me.
-Then who?
-Beats me.
Only you lot would do that kind of thing.
KEISUKE: Whoa.
Everything is our fault, huh?
You're like Kano.
Making accusations against us.
Are you still going to pester us?
-You guys started it.
-Huh?
RYUJI: Officer,
I think you trust them too much.
-They're a bunch of sneaky scumbags.
-(bell rings)
MAN 4: Oh, excuse me.
Good morning.
I didn't realize you were here.
We'll start unloading right away.
-Come on.
-Sorry to keep you waiting.
(tense music)
I don't think
you should trust them too much.
(metal clanking)
(ominous music)
(toilet flushes)
-Mr. Sabu.
-Yeah?
Thank you so much.
Forget it. No problem.
Remember what I said?
Your family are members
of Kuge Village now.
SABU: We'll protect you
no matter what happens.
Don't worry.
Okay. Thank you.
-Thank you.
-(Sabu chuckles)
SABU: Right, then.
See you, Mashiro!
(Sabu chuckling)
-Whoo!
-(Yuki chuckles)
(background chatter)
(shouts)
It's okay.
Mom?
Mom.
(chuckles)
(chuckles)
Who are you?
MRS. KANO: Darling? Where are you?
Someone from the village is here again,
but I don't know what to do.
Darling?
-Darling!
-SUMIRE: Mom.
Come on. It's okay.
(gloomy music)
Oh, yeah, he went missing, didn't he?
(panting)
That's why I told him
to escape while he can.
Run away!
-Run away!
-(clatters)
Run away!
Run away!
MURDERER
(gloomy music)
(sighs)
(tense music)
MRS. KANO: Run away.
Run away.
Run away.
Run away.
Run away.
Run away!
NURSE 1: Mrs. Kano.
-Take it easy.
-Run away!
Run away!
Run away!
-Run away!
-It's okay.
-Run away!
-NURSE 1: Calm down.
Let's get you back
in the wheelchair, okay?
MRS. KANO: Run away!
-NURSE 1: Mrs. Kano! Wait!
-MRS. KANO: Run away!
YUKI: Mashiro! Will you water the flowers?
MRS. KANO: Run away.
Run away!
Run away!
Run away!
Run away!
-Run away!
-Mrs. Kano.
-Run away.
-It's okay.
-Run away.
-Calm down.
-MRS. KANO: Run away.
-NURSE 2: You're okay.
(Mrs. Kano cries)
Please calm down.
MRS. KANO: Run away!
Run away.
YUKI: Mashiro.
Thanks for helping me.
For lunch today,
I was thinking of making
your favorite omelet rice or burger steak.
What would you like?
(foreboding music)
YUKI: You want omelet with rice?
-Or do you want burger steak?
-I do.
-YUKI: Okay, let's have burger steak.
-Nice.
(crunching)
-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.
(ominous music)
MAN 5: All right. Time to work.
-Go back to your posts.
-Okay.
(crickets chirping)
What's this?
People can come and go easily,
because there's no partition here.
Okay.
That's true.
SABU: Hm?
I see something new.
DAIGO: I just thought I'd put up a fence
for more security.
SABU: Good for you.
(drill whirring)
DAIGO: Just for peace of mind really.
SABU: Though I wouldn't do that,
if I were you.
Huh?
SABU: This is a tiny village
where the community is built on trust.
So it's not a good idea.
But everybody has one.
They've had them for years.
Putting up a new fence is different,
people would take of-fence to it.
Hey, that was a good pun.
(laughs)
Most of us don't even lock our doors.
You newcomers should show us
that you trust us.
SABU: That's just how it is
in Kuge Village.
Watch yourself, Officer.
What a pain.
Mm?
What did you say?
Yeah. You're right, Mr. Sabu.
Let's stop, Daigo.
Okay.
YUKI: Mr. Sabu, would you like some tea?
I can't stay.
I have to go help some of the old ladies.
-I'll drop by again soon.
-I understand.
-You're welcome here anytime.
-(Sabu chuckles)
Every time we do something new,
Mr. Sabu appears.
Okay, Mashiro. Let's go wash our hands,
gargle, and start your homework.
YUKI: I'll give you a hand.
DAIGO: Thanks.
These took me four hours
DAIGO: Hello.
You shouldn't be fighting.
That's right.
DAIGO: Hello!
(women murmuring)
SUGIYAMA TOY SHOP
STATIONERY, FISHING GEAR
-Officer.
-Yes?
Fighting's not good.
Fighting?
I heard you grabbed Mr. Sabu
when he gave you a piece of advice.
And called him
a pain-in-the-ass old geezer.
(chuckles)
I didn't grab him
and I didn't call him an old geezer.
-Is that right?
-Yeah.
Mr. Sabu does tend to exaggerate.
(both chuckle)
But you did call him
a pain in the ass, right?
That's no good.
You should respect the elderly's advice.
You're new here.
One wrong word could turn everybody
against you.
In any case,
you should apologize when you see him.
Seriously, what a pain.
DAIGO: I'm back!
What's up?
YUKI: We're going to apologize
to Mr. Sabu.
Huh?
That's not necessary.
There you go again,
only thinking about yourself.
(thunder rumbling)
Did someone say something?
Lots of "no fighting"
and "if you want to live
in this village" stuff.
It was like a sermon.
So many people scolded me
in the short time I was out.
Just ignore them.
We decided to live in this village
for Mashiro, didn't we?
(raindrops pattering)
Yeah.
Then stay out of trouble.
Got it?
I'm trying!
Don't argue with your wife, Officer.
Mr. Sabu.
You always show up at the perfect timing.
Are you spying on us or something?
(thunder rumbling)
(tense music)
Are you sure that's what
you want to say to me
right now?
YUKI: Daigo.
I owe you an apology.
I lost my temper.
I was rude to you when
you were kind enough to give me advice.
Please forgive me.
I'm glad you understand.
Everybody becomes a true member
of Kuge Village one step at a time.
Mm.
Listen.
We're going to start preparing
for the dedication festival tomorrow.
-Dedication festival?
-That's right!
It's celebrated yearly
and it's the biggest event of the village.
It's been an important festival
for Kuge Village for a long time.
It's a tradition that's been conducted
for hundreds of years.
It reaches an exciting climax
with the burning
of a human-shaped doll.
(sighs)
(Sabu chuckles)
SABU: Okay?
(indistinct chatter)
-Hello.
-Hello.
Hi.
Officer, we heard that you and your wife
got into a huge fistfight.
It wasn't that bad.
-Really?
-That's a relief.
She's such a devoted wife.
Take good care of her.
Hello.
YUKI: Hello.
-Hey!
-Hello.
Officer, I heard you apologized to Sabu.
-Good for you.
-YUKI: Thank you.
(Yuki chuckles)
They just love to gossip.
It'll get easier when we get used to it.
You're right.
-BOY 1: Go!
-BOY 2: Let's go!
-Hello.
-WOMAN 4: Hello!
Nice timing. Could you carry this inside?
-Okay.
-Mashiro, let's do the flowers over here.
Thank you.
Go on. They'll teach you how.
(cell phone buzzing)
Is it okay here?
OTHERS
(tense music)
DAIGO: Yuki.
I have to take this call.
Okay.
You're good to go.
Hey! You're here.
Take this to the back.
Okay.
KUGE VILLAGE FIREFIGHTERS
(cell phone buzzing)
Hello?
MALE VOICE: Where did you get this number?
Huh?
Who are you?
I'm Officer Agawa of the Kuge substation.
DAIGO: Are you the one
with the satellite phone
who was in contact with Mr. Kano?
MALE VOICE: Are you alone?
(distant laughter)
DAIGO (whispers): Hold on.
Go ahead.
MALE VOICE: Yes, Mr. Kano and I
were talking to each other
on a satellite phone I lent him.
What for?
I'd rather
tell you in person.
Can you meet me tomorrow?
But you have to come alone.
Wait a second.
Mr. Kano was killed
when he went to the Goto property
after he made a call
to this satellite phone.
I can't take that risk so easily.
But I wasn't the one
who took his last call.
Then who was it?
(clanking over phone)
I have to go.
(cell phone buzzes)
PLEASE COME HERE TOMORROW AT 11 A.M.
34°27'49.5"N
133°55'51.4"E
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
MALE VOICE (over speaker):
Take a left up there.
Turn right at the end
and walk down.
Shall we continue our conversation,
Mr. Agawa?
What's going on?
To run away from you if I have to.
I don't trust you yet, either.
The feeling is mutual.
Mr. Kano
trusted me.
That's why he was murdered.
No.
He was cannibalized.
Who the hell are you?
Tell me.
Someone who's not supposed
to exist in Kuge Village.
I, myself, am proof of the secret
they're desperately trying to hide.
Will you get straight to the point?
What do you mean?
(foreboding music)
This face of mine
proves it all.
You must be kidding.
I was eaten.
By someone in Kuge Village.
(closing theme music)
