I'm Standing on a Million Lives (2020) s01e12 Episode Script
A Killer's Summer
1
It's not an imaginary world,
it's a planet located in the same spot
as the Earth in a parallel world.
People in this world
are not virtual characters,
but human beings in a parallel world.
I killed someone.
Really?
ONE STAR
I killed a human?
That's huge!
I hate humans.
I've always wanted them to be destroyed.
But now, having killed just one person
already makes my heart palpitate.
It's like a rollercoaster.
No, it's more like skydiving.
There's no turning back.
I didn't plan to start it.
Now I can only fall.
I'M STANDING ON A MILLION LIVES
The strange routine in front of me
Stepping out of common sense
Cutting off the comforting link
to look for the true light
My back is against the wall,
I can't give in
(Be tough, don't cry, keep going)
The reality is a matter of life or death
The enthusiasm within my heart
(surviving in despair)
Entering the spiritual world
(fearless, striving)
We were born with loneliness
Walk side by side,
and be vulnerable no more
Even in the face of life's uncertainty
The fire of life will never die
With courage in my hand, I stand strong
Fight for tomorrow
EPISODE 12, A KILLER'S SUMMER
Hey, pass the ball!
Hey!
Who passed the ball to that guy?
Shit.
That's impressive.
But has that guy always been
so good at sports?
Sorry.
It's okay.
It's a big improvement already
not to be on the sideline.
I feel stronger now.
It also feels easier for me than before.
Is it because of our upgrades
in the other world?
Perhaps.
Although my disease is not cured yet,
running is still unbearable for me here.
This should have had happened
before the grand tournament.
Does Yotsuya know about the parameters?
I've not spoken to him since then.
It's a bit difficult to talk with him.
Yuka, Yuka,
what happened to Yotsuya?
We haven't told you the details
about how we rescued the Altrosians.
He
killed someone.
-AND?
-AND HE LIT THE FIRE AND BURNED HIM ALIVE.
SERIOUSLY?
I SAW IT WITH MY OWN EYES.
IT WAS A SHOCK.
Hey, Yotsuya!
Just pass the ball!
What the stop trying to be a hero.
I suppose it's hard to deal with that.
Really?
Yes, it's true.
I'm the one who killed him, after all.
Who are you?
Who are you?
It's definitely that.
Impossible! Knock it off.
I said no.
I hate this city.
You said that?
I did! Stop it.

FROM: GAME MASTER
The game master?
A mission? Why me again?
There's no getting out of it now.
QUESTION: HOW DOES IT FEEL
TO HAVE KILLED SOMEONE?
What the hell?
Did he plan for me to kill someone?
No, but
That was
That was no mistake.
It was my own judgement.
I mistook that place as a virtual world
and firmly believed it to be so.
Darn it!
Hello.
Who are you?
I say,
you should reply to my message.
Reply to your message?
NEW TEXT MESSAGE
FROM: GAME MASTER
You you're the game master?
No, are you another one of them
from the future?
Which one is it?
You have no right to ask questions.
You really are the game master.
You can actually speak normally?
Well
A part of me thinks that
it didn't matter if they died.
They were going to kill innocent believers
as a warning to others.
They also lied to us
and wanted to kill us.
To me, those were bad people.
The other part of me thinks
it's wrong that they died.
They have their own concept
of justice so
And?
The answer to my question?
Having killed a person is my mistake.
If I'd known about the parallel world,
I wouldn't have killed him.
Yes, that's it.
That's it?
That's it. Nothing more.
I see.
Let's talk about the next player then.
Are you serious?
Like the previous time,
there's someone you need to meet, Yusuke.
By the way,
when you told me to hit on Tokitate,
what did you mean?
You have no right to ask questions.
I already told you.
That was literally what I meant.
What did you say?
Save someone in the toilet
to hit on a girl.
Well, I can't remember.
So, will you go? Yes, or no?
Sure, I'll do it.
Let's go then.
A hat? Why?
"PROBABILITY OF THE OCCUPATION ROULETTE"
WARRIOR (SWORD) 20%, WARRIOR (SPEAR) 12.5%
WARRIOR (AXE) 12.5%, MAGICIAN (HEAT) 12.5%
MAGICIAN (WIND) 12.5%, (BIOLOGY) 12.5%
THIEF 7.5%, HUNTER 7.5%
OTHER FIVE INSIGNIFICANT OCCUPATIONS
0.5% EACH
It's about time.
Get ready.
The broth inside is very hot,
please be careful.
So, what is it about
this Chinese restaurant?
That person sitting at the counter.
He's been a drug dealer until recently.
In 20 seconds, the new player will
come in here and kill him.
It's because a man deceived him
saying he won't get caught.
In 20 seconds!
Kill he's going to kill someone?
Ten, nine
Hold on.
The player's name is Torii Keita,
19 years old, male.
Shuji, his 14-year-old brother
also partakes in this plan.
14 years old? That's my age.
Three, two
Found you! There he is!
Die!
But which one is he?
What are you doing?
I I'd advise you not to kill anyone.
Although I'm not sure,
you seem to be deceived.
Shut up, asshole!
Ouch!
I knew it.
Idiots who can't get what I'm saying
annoy the hell out of me!
Darn it!
Right, they won't be tricked into
coming here if they aren't dumb.
Shuji!
You jerk!
Shuji is the brother's name, isn't it?
So this is the guy.
Your target's escaped?
The police will be here soon.
Take your brother and run.
Get out of my way!
I'm going to kill him!
Why did you get in my way?
That guy is a drug dealer,
he deserves to die!
Why are you protecting that sort of man?
I don't care who is it.
I won't let you kill anyone.
What's wrong?
What happened?
I'm not sure.
There's kid here, a middle school kid.
A kid?
Get out of my way!
Never!
Step aside.
Are you hired by the Kodan-gumi?
No, I'm not.
Don't lie, kid.
Yusuke?
A child?
Do you want this?
A glove?
Rascal!
Bio-magic.
"Stop!"
Ouch.
What's this?
Finally.
The police are here.
Hurry up!
Take your brother and run!
Hey, who exactly
That rascal.
Who do you think has
kept you alive till today?
Shut up.
You lost to a kid and now,
you want to shoot him from behind.
That makes you a total loser.
Keita, hurry!
Where did that guy go?
I've cleared my quest? I'm going home.
Talk with me.
You stopped a murder today.
So?
How did you feel when you kill someone?
I don't know.
But I think I know what to do now.
If those brothers were caught, the chance
of completing the next quest decreases.
I remember what you said
before I went to rescue Tokitate.
The success of this pick-up affects
the success rate of the next quest.
Tokitate was the one
who finished the last quest.
In other words, the success rate went up
because I went to hit on Tokitate, right?
Tokitate fought until the end
despite her personality
because there's still a real world
that she wants to return to.
A real world where her naked pictures
are not published.
Although it was something psychological,
the success rate of the quest did go up.
And this time,
I created a world that the new player
would want to return to.
A world where they aren't arrested.
If so, the success rate of
our next quest will go up.
Is that it?
Why?
What about the value of life?
Value my ass.
Idiots who make use of others
to take lives for them should die.
The least valuable of humans
should die out first.
And that blonde hair, I would not
care for him at all if he wasn't a player.
That's so funny!
I heard that a junior in the tennis club
confessed her feelings for Nakada.
Another police car?
It's been quite noisy since a while ago.
Did something happen?
Could it be a murder?
That's so scary.
Iu, how scary it is if it was a murder!
Murder I suppose that can be
quite upsetting?
Upsetting? What are you talking about?
Sorry, did I say something?
Are you okay?
I'm home.
Welcome home.
I heard that a guy with a gun was arrested
in front of the train station.
I see.
Don't you think it's scary?
It is.
I'll prepare dinner.
You can take a bath first.
Okay.
She used to cry out of fear
just by hearing about a theft nearby.
I only saved them in order to increase
Shindo and Hakozaki's survival rate,
even if it might just be one percent.
Hey, did you forget about me?
OKAY
I HAVEN'
KIND OF, VAGUELY
WHO ARE YOU?
You haven't been here for a while.
Yes, something came up.
It made me a bit depressed.
But don't worry, I'm okay now.
I saw so many police cars
on my way home tonight.
Hey, I was still talking.
What could it be? Sounds so scary.
There isn't any news online yet.
I'll go get some drinks.
It's unusual,
there's something fishy about it.
So I thought, maybe there's a scary secret
behind it.
I rewatched a video from the other day
and found some hints!
In other words, I have some sort of radar
in my head.
Speaking of which, when will
the next quest come up?
This event is definitely the same!
The value of human lives?
Standing aloof and judging others,
like some anonymous netizen.
Who do you think you are?
A nobody. I'm just a kid.
Just a stupid kid with
an eighth-grade syndrome.
And I know that I'm wrong.
I'll admit to that.
I actually do know that.
But, how should I put it?
It just doesn't seem real.
It just feels as if I'm right
and everyone else is wrong.
But I do know it's just a symptom
of the eighth-grade syndrome.
However
So what?
I want to help everyone.
How can I let you die!
Help me out.
Thank you for your help!
Thank you very much.
Who are you?
I only fight for the justice
that I believe in.
That's what I did
and I'll continue to do so.
QUESTION: WHERE DOES YOUR JUSTICE LIE IN?
In the shiny world
Embracing the moment
In the shiny world
Now, now, now
How can I become stronger
The reason why I always feel lost
Now, now, now
Memories sparkle
If I could become you or somebody else
Flying birds
Now, now, now
Must share the same wishes
Even though all the "ifs" come true
I won't be me again
Write down your dream and my name
On the beach with an hour hand
It'll disappear soon
Even so, I want to be me for once
Unpredictable future
Moving forward with you
In the shiny world
Embracing the moment
