Gannibal (2022) s01e07 Episode Script

(approaching footsteps)
(tense music)
(door slams)
(foreboding music)
OLD WOMAN: I'm so proud of you.
(rapid footsteps)
RYUJI: Keisuke, we found the officer.
(tense music)
(water trickling)
(panting)
(ominous music)
(grunting)
A traitor?
Someone called
the officer and tipped him off.
Someone from the Goto family?
I can't believe it.
I'll find out who sooner or later.
Any idea who it is?
(approaching footsteps)
Go home.
KEISUKE: What are you up to?
Spit it out.
The kids being held prisoner,
will you let them go?
You know that there are far
too many stillbirths in Kuge Village.
Gin Goto was the midwife in every case.
What's your point?
They're still alive
somewhere in the village, aren't they?
What are you talking about?
You don't know anything!
I have a proposal.
Why not blame everything on Gin Goto?
DAIGO: Even if some of you were involved,
just say you were forced to help,
and they'll go easy on you.
I know how good you guys are
at getting your stories straight.
What are you saying?
(breathing heavily)
We're running out of time.
A child is going
to die at the festival, right?
DAIGO: Sooner or later,
you'll get caught for what you're doing.
If you keep hiding it,
it'll only make you look more suspicious.
So why not make a preemptive move?
All I want is to save the kids.
Then I'll leave you guys alone.
There's no time to think.
Let's end this now.
Fine. Let's end this!
Get this!
(cocks gun)
(indistinct shouting)
I can see by your reaction
that I was right.
-Shut up!
-Get away!
DAIGO: Keisuke.
If these guys kill me now,
the police will launch
a full-fledged investigation.
How's that sound?
-Shut up!
-We're gonna shoot you.
Keisuke!
(indistinct shouting)
-MAN 1: Do something, Keisuke!
-(shouting continues)
MAN 2: What should we do?
(overlapping shouting)
(knocking on door)
(knocking on door)
Who is it?
MAYOR: It's me, Kiyoshi.
(door opens)
What do you want?
The Morobe PD chief is here.
What are you doing here?
Everybody, calm down.
The village mayor told me
you were trespassing on their property.
Why do you keep making trouble?
-Let me explain. These guys are--
-Agawa, let go of that man.
Agawa.
I apologize as his boss.
He trespassed on your property first,
so
I won't charge you this time
for assaulting him.
Who does he think he is?
Hey, what just happened?
Don't you realize what'll happen
if we kill a police officer?
We don't want any trouble
before the festival.
You have to stay calm.
You're the head of the family now.
(water trickling)
(kid mumbling)
Want this?
Hold on.
(rustling)
This is your final meal here.
Time to escape.
(theme music)
Do you think
I messed up your plan?
You're crazy, trying to take them on
by yourself.
I know there are people from Kuge Village
on the police force.
Like yourself.
The entire village might be
trying to cover it up.
(chuckling)
I guess you don't trust me.
(sighs)
You're the one
who messed up our plan.
I want you to tell us everything you know
when we get to the station.
(tense music)
MOROBE POLICE DEPARTMEN
These five detectives
are from the prefectural police HQ.
CHIEF: They're investigating
the Goto family, just like you.
I really didn't know anything
about the Goto family.
When Kano came to me, I thought
he was imagining it and I brushed him off.
I feel responsible for his death.
Chief, let's move on.
If it's true that
they're practicing cannibalism,
we're looking
at a huge, unprecedented case.
CHIEF: Yes.
Agawa.
Did you know that the finger you gave
to the medical examiner
belonged to Kano?
Yes, I heard.
What about traces of saliva on it?
No.
Kano was eaten by someone.
That's the obvious deduction.
SENDO: The fact is
there were several bite marks
on Kano's body.
All from the same person.
But we still haven't identified who.
I think I know.
Go on.
The Gotos have a secret
they're trying to hide.
A man they call "That Man"
gave me this scar.
He's over two meters tall,
and I believe
he's at the center of everything.
ARAGAKI:
None of the family's direct descendants
alive today match that description.
TADAO, GIN
KIYOSHI, AI
KEISUKE, YOSUKE
Bloodline is the most important thing
to the Gotos.
The mayor, Kiyoshi Goto,
is an adopted son-in-law.
CHIEF: That's why he can't be
the head of the family.
Gin Goto has a daughter?
ARAGAKI: Yes. She is in the family tree.
TADAO, GIN
ARAGAKI: Ai Goto.
If she's alive,
wouldn't she be the head of the family?
She disappeared 18 years ago.
Another disappearance.
Sounds suspicious.
Is there anyone else
who disappeared after Ai Goto?
No.
Not according to records.
I see.
Then maybe it was Ai Goto
who helped the man who had his face eaten.
Who's that?
A man who had his face eaten?
Yeah.
He's the reason
I started investigating the Goto family.
The reason Kano did, too.
KANEMARU: I see.
DAIGO: When he was a child,
half of his face was eaten
by someone on the night of the festival.
He was saved by someone
who ran away with him.
He showed me the half of his face
that was eaten.
(scoffs)
Are you serious?
DAIGO: Every year,
a child is sacrificed at the festival.
I have someone
who's helping me look for them.
Someone's helping you?
Let's go.
Come on. Hurry up!
Come on!
IWAO: What are you doing?
There's someone working with you?
Yes, there is.
I asked for his help
in case I was captured by the Gotos.
Why isn't your face covered?
It was you
who informed the officer, wasn't it?
What?
(clanging)
I'm asking if you're the traitor!
DAIGO: I instilled suspicion
in Iwao Goto's mind
about a traitor in his family.
No!
I haven't talked
to the officer since the bear--
-(Iwao grunts)
-(Yosuke groans)
(Yosuke whimpering)
IWAO: You were friendly with Kano, too.
You've always known about this place.
Is that how Kano found this place?
No!
It wasn't me.
I'd never betray the family.
(breathing heavily)
IWAO: You have tainted blood
running through your veins.
(grunts)
Hey.
-Keep him here until we confirm his story.
-Got it.
DAIGO: Where will Iwao go
with his suspicions?
To the person he suspects the most,
or to the person who poses
the biggest problem if he's the traitor?
In other words
he'll go to where
the children are being held.
(suspenseful music)
DAIGO: Of course,
there's no guarantee that he'd go.
(cell phone buzzes)
But my gamble paid off.
I have the location.
I'll head there now.
CHIEF: Hold on.
(sighs)
Do you have a death wish?
Stop taking matters into your own hands.
Yeah, it's dangerous.
Do you have a plan, chief?
I think the best time to rescue the kids
is early tomorrow morning.
Why?
Every year on the day of the festival,
the Gotos and the villagers gather here
at Kurunokami Shrine.
It's quite a distance from the place
where the children are being held.
Even if they find out about us,
we can buy some time.
So we rescue the children
while they're at the shrine?
Yes.
We're talking about fellows
who are all armed with rifles.
KIKUTA: It's risky.
That's why I want the SIT to back us up.
KIKUTA: That's impossible.
-We don't have enough evidence.
-Also, we can't be sure
if every Goto will be at the shrine.
They must be more cautious
than ever this year.
KANEMARU: No. I'll convince them.
A police officer has been killed.
HQ isn't taking this case lightly.
-But the SIT?
-I know.
It's a long shot but we have to take it.
Like this idiot over here.
KANEMARU: If a child is going
to be killed at the festival,
we have to move now.
Agawa risked his life to get this intel.
Let's not waste it.
Shiina and Aragaki,
continue investigating the Goto family.
On it.
-Kikuta, find out where Ai Goto is.
-Okay.
-Sendo, keep Agawa's family safe.
-Understood.
And, Agawa.
Yes?
You come with me.
Let's get the SIT's cooperation.
Okay.
AREA MAP OF INCIDENTS
INVOLVING THE GOTO FAMILY
(foreboding music)
-(sucks teeth)
-(toilet flushes)
Agawa, is this what you really want?
It's above and beyond your duties
as a village police officer.
Tell me.
What would you have done
if I hadn't intervened at the Goto house?
(breathes deeply)
I had a plan.
To kill someone
in the worst-case scenario?
I
(cell phone buzzing)
Excuse me.
Hello?
I survived somehow.
You've done more than enough.
I don't know how to thank you.
I'm just as curious.
It's all for the article.
Don't worry about it.
If you say so.
But I wouldn't have risked my life
simply out of curiosity.
I really want to save those kids.
UTADA: We'll talk again
after this is all over.
Yes. Until then.
(screams)
(screaming continues)
(kid mumbling)
Don't worry.
There's nothing wrong.
(kid muttering)
(dramatic music)
What should we do?
Someone help us.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS IN EFFEC
YAMASHITA: Ms. Sendo.
I'm Detective Yamashita.
I'll drive you to the hotel
where Yuki Agawa is hiding.
Hop in.
Jeez.
(sighs)
What are you doing?
I think I lost the note
with the address on it.
Sorry.
(scoffs)
What?
-Idiot.
-Sorry.
Give me a break.
-Here we go.
-Okay.
-Kibi City, Kataoka
-Kibi City
Yes. All right. That sounds good.
Thank you.
Hey!
They'll accept our request for the SI
if we have enough evidence.
Evidence?
Let's make a list of what we know so far.
Okay.
(bubbling)
(tense music)
(cell phone ringing)
Hello?
The situation has changed.
The prefectural police are involved now,
and we know exactly
where to find the kids.
You don't need to keep hiding anymore.
Are you sure
I'll be safe?
DAIGO: Don't worry.
I promise I'll protect you.
Tell the world everything you know.
If you do,
we can request cooperation from the SIT.
We can rescue the kids tomorrow morning,
but it all depends on you.
DAIGO: After your mom saved you
from the festival
did she tell you anything?
No.
Is her name
Ai Goto?
DAIGO: The woman who should've been
the next head of the Goto family.
(distant humming)
My mother
is alive.
KYOSUKE: My mother
gave me a name.
Taught me how to talk.
And she taught me
that I was a human being.
She's
the most important person
in the world to me.
KYOSUKE: But
I want to save myself from that day.
(baby wailing)
If my mother
agrees to come with me,
I'll go.
KYOSUKE: I'll tell you everything.
The rest
is up to you
Mr. Agawa.
Fine.
You got it.
KYOSUKE: Until then.
He's the key to SIT's deployment.
If this doesn't work out,
we may have
to abort the mission altogether.
He'll come.
Let's trust him and wait.
(tense music)
KYOSUKE'S MOTHER: What's the matter?
I'm almost done so take a seat.
KYOSUKE: Mom.
I've always wanted to say this to you.
KYOSUKE'S MOTHER: Say what?
What is it?
Mom.
You raised me
until I was an adult.
KYOSUKE:
Even though I'm not your real son.
(sniffles)
Why are you bringing it up
all of a sudden?
We have to talk, Mom.
Or should I say
Ms. Ai Goto.
(soup boiling)
Whoa, looks delicious.
(overlapping chatter)
Watch your step.
RYUJI: I will.
(laughter)
RYUJI: Don't look so grouchy, Keisuke.
You're the family head now.
When you have a kid one day,
he'll take over.
Look, just like this,
everything will continue
for a long time.
Isn't that right?
The festival and the Goto family.
It might not be as easy as you think.
You mean the officer?
He won't bother us anymore.
The police don't want any more trouble.
They'll treat him like a lunatic.
As usual, right?
Go drink over there.
You're so laid back,
I feel like killing you.
IWAO: Keisuke's right.
Be on your guard.
The officer might've gotten
whatever information he has
from someone in the family.
I wonder who the traitor is.
(glass clanks)
IWAO: I think it's Yosuke,
but it could be someone else.
Like the low-life kid
who fled the village.
Or maybe your mother.
(glass clinks)
IWAO: Yosuke is her son, too.
What, Iwao?
You suspect me?
Stop it.
Stop it!
Nothing good will come
from a fight between you two.
And it's unthinkable that
she is involved in this.
Right, Keisuke?
What?
(exhales deeply)
What are you on about?
Mom
That name
I'm begging you.
Don't ever mention it again.
KYOSUKE: I want you to tell me everything.
About your past as Ai Goto.
There's a cop
that I trust.
If we meet with him,
-you and I can both
-A cop?
Don't do anything stupid!
If we talk to him,
we may be able to save the children.
Children like me.
Please.
Mom.
You saved me.
You don't know anything.
You don't know
the kind of person I am.
Are you protecting them?
Your real sons
in the Goto family?
Protecting them?
It's the opposite.
They're protecting me
and have always been, even as we speak.
GIN: Ai.
The festival's coming up.
Once it's over,
stay out of Keisuke and Yosuke's lives.
Excuse me?
Your job is done.
I'll take care of them from now on.
Is that clear?
I wasn't expecting this.
They said they prefer it this way, too.
AI: What?
Let me talk to them.
Are you questioning me?
No.
How am I to live, then?
I don't know any other way to live.
So
please tell me.
In that case
why not just die?
(gloomy music)
Keisuke.
You're home.
Stop forcing yourself to smile.
I can't stand it.
What?
I feel sorry for you.
You don't know anything!
(sobbing)
(groaning)
(panting)
It feels like we just talked
for the first time, Mom.
(door opens, closes)
(drumbeat)
(kid crying)
(drumbeat)
(all chanting)
(crying)
(drumbeats)
(bell chiming)
-(all chanting)
-(bones crunching)
(snarling)
(sniffing)
(screeches)
(growling)
(kid screaming)
(chanting)
(flesh squishing)
I'm sorry.
Stop!
-(kid wailing)
-(That Man growling)
(people clamoring)
MAN 3: Get some water!
GIN: Hurry up!
Get the water, now!
What have you done?
Get her!
Stop her!
(people clamoring)
(indistinct shouting)
(panting)
(laughing)
-(men grumbling)
-(cocking guns)
(grunts)
(kid whining)
-(men grunting)
-(kid screaming)
(kid wailing)
You know the consequences of
what you just did, don't you?
(chuckles)
I've never seen you look so desperate.
AI: That's enough for me.
My life is yours.
Do what you want.
Then
I'll kill you right now.
(cocks gun)
You must also be
a pitiful soul.
(gunshot)
Wait, Grandma.
If you're going to kill Mom,
I'll kill myself, too.
YOUNG KEISUKE: Let her go.
What if this woman
tells someone about us?
If she talks,
I'll die in her place.
I'll kill myself
if she can't keep the secret.
And I'll kill myself
if you don't let her go.
That's the deal.
GIN: Keisuke.
Are you gonna protect her
with your own life?
YOUNG KEISUKE: Don't worry, Grandma.
I believe in Mom.
Fine.
But
the next time
you cross me,
I'll kill her.
Is that understood, Keisuke?
(sobs)
(somber music)
AI: Everything's gonna be fine.
(kid sobbing)
Don't worry anymore.
(birds chirping)
(phone ringing)
(sighs)
(beeps)
(sobs)
MALE VOICE: Your call cannot be completed,
because the number you have dialed
is outside the service area.
We may have to cancel tomorrow's mission,
Agawa.
(sighs)
It would mean leaving those kids to die.
-(indistinct chatter)
-(man groaning)
MAN 1: You did it, right?
-I know it was you!
-MAN 2: Spit it out already!
-It was you, wasn't it?
-You told them the place, didn't you?
You traitor!
-Where do you think you're going?
-You can't escape.
Get over here!
(yelling)
(squishing)
Aah!
My ear!
(indistinct shouting)
-(grunts)
-(man screams)
(bone cracks)
(ominous music)
What do you want?
MUNECHIKA: It's been a while, Keisuke.
(water churning)
We used to play here
back in the day, remember?
We thought the fireflies
would look pretty in milk bottles.
KEISUKE: You didn't call me here
to reminisce, did you?
MUNECHIKA: Let's put an end
to the festival, you and me.
There were two people who wielded
great power in the Goto family.
Gin is dead, and my grandfather,
the head priest, is dying.
That means we're next in line.
If we work together
we can free those children.
Who put that nonsense into your head?
Kano?
Or that officer?
Forget it.
I'll pretend I didn't hear that.
-(cocks gun)
-Wait, Keisuke.
(tense music)
I want to settle this here. Now.
You're an idiot.
Did you think you could scare me?
Why, Keisuke?
How can you keep victimizing the children?
For tradition?
For the family?
For blood?
Keisuke!
It's a curse.
I know. You don't have to tell me.
Still
I have to do it.
(ominous music)
(inaudible dialog)
YUKI: Hi.
What's up?
Nothing.
Nothing?
What, are you homesick?
(Daigo scoffs)
DAIGO: No. That's not why I called.
Okay.
How's Mashiro?
YUKI: Mashiro
(Yamabushi laughs)
-She's playing cards with Mr. Yamabushi.
-I lost.
(chuckles)
I see.
How's the investigation?
Hmm
Well
It's fine.
It's not going well, is it?
No.
(sighs)
Hey, Yuki.
Hm?
DAIGO: Hmm
I feel like
there's this anger inside of me
that I can't control.
When I think about
those kids in captivity,
or their parents
like Kanako,
I can't control myself.
DAIGO: I feel like
I may hurt someone
-like before
-YUKI: Stop whining and shut up.
If you know yourself that well,
you'll be fine.
(scoffs)
Huh?
You'll be fine.
You'll come back to us
after you've done what you need to do.
(somber music)
Trust me.
Okay.
You're right.
Let's redo
Mashiro's birthday when I get back.
The three of us.
(chuckles)
Yeah.
We'll be waiting.
Be careful.
Okay.
I better get going.
See you.
Yeah, see you.
(line beeps)
(tense music)
MOROBE POLICE DEPARTMEN
CHIEF: Mr. Kanemaru.
Where's Agawa?
He took off.
I'm sorry. I couldn't stop him.
What?
(Kanemaru sighs)
Well
All things considered,
why don't we follow Agawa's lead?
He may solve this case, once and for all.
But
what if Agawa can't find any evidence?
We'll figure something out.
(blows air)
(snickers)
If he gets killed,
the police will have to swoop in,
like it or not.
(ominous music)
(indistinct chatter)
Get out.
(ominous music)
Pull!
Left side!
Pull!
Left side, pull!
Keep going!
SABU: Keep pulling!
Almost there, pull!
Keep going!
Be careful.
Good job.
(applause)
WOMAN: Well done.
(suspenseful music)
(doorbell dings)
YAMABUSHI: Yes?
We're here to take them
into protective custody.
I've been informed.
You must be Sendo and Yamashita.
Yes. Thanks for your help.
Come in.
The police.
(sighs)
Thank goodness.
Now, my job is done.
Thank you so much for everything.
-You were a lifesaver.
-Don't mention it. Now go.
YAMASHITA: No.
Huh?
I'm not Yamashita.
My name is Goto.
(gunshot)
(ominous music)
(panting)
(water trickling)
(snarling)
(thuds)
(growls)
(closing theme music)
KEISUKE: Open your eyes, officer.
(Gotos chanting)
Here. Eat it.
(Daigo breathing heavily)
This is what you were looking for, right?
You got it.
You and Kano were right.
We eat people.
(growling)
