[00:03] ---
    Shall I tell you a story about my past?
[00:06] ---
    About when I was in sixth grade...
[00:10] ---
    Once, a girl, one of my classmates,
[00:12] ---
    brought a box of seven
    or eight hamsters over by me.
[00:17] ---
    They had bred after she'd been careless,
[00:20] ---
    and now she was at a loss,
    unable to take care of them all.
[00:24] ---
    I agreed to take them.
[00:25] ---
    On the way home, I filled up
    an empty large fruit wine bottle
[00:29] ---
    and drowned all of the hamsters in it.
[00:32] ---
    Three hours later, after dinner,
    I went to my room,
[00:36] ---
    where I was captivated by what I saw.
[00:39] ---
    One hamster, treading water
    above the other floating, lifeless hamsters.
[00:46] ---
    To be honest, it excited me.
[00:49] ---
    I named the survivor Spice
    and decided to raise it.
[00:53] ---
    The moment I saw it in there,
[00:55] ---
    I thought of the short story,
    "The Spider's Thread."
[00:59] ---
    Do you know it?
[01:00] ---
    A sinner named Kandata is in Hell
    one day when Shakyamuni,
[01:05] ---
    moved by the single compassionate
    act of his life, sparing a spider's life,
[01:09] ---
    lowers a spider's thread
    down from Heaven to him.
[01:13] ---
    Kandata begins climbing
    towards Heaven,
[01:16] ---
    kicking down at his fellow sinners
    when they try to climb up after him.
[01:22] ---
    Then the thread snaps,
    and Kandata falls back down to Hell.
[01:28] ---
    I don't think you'll believe this,
    but I'll tell you anyway.
[01:33] ---
    Or maybe you will understand.
[01:36] ---
    Since I became acquainted with Spice,
[01:39] ---
    it's as if I could see the spider's thread.
[01:43] ---
    I've murdered the people
    who I could see were connected to it.
[01:46] ---
    But at some point,
    a boy disrupted my plans.
[01:51] ---
    And then I saw a spider's thread
[01:54] ---
    attached to the top of his head, too.
[01:57] ---
    Yashiro!
[01:59] ---
    I know your future!
[02:02] ---
    But he didn't die.
[02:07] ---
    I named him Spice
    and began observing him.
[02:13] ---
    I'm talking about you, Satoru.

    Come to think of it,
    didn't Satoru tell me once...

[04:50] ---
    The fact is, you can go to Ueno
    without changing trains.

[04:55] ---
    It's true.
[04:57] ---
    What was that about?

[05:52] ---
    Good morning, Satoru.
SIGN    FUNABASHI GENERAL HOSPITAL
[06:03] ---
    Yes. I'm surprised.
[06:05] ---
    It's hard to believe
    you were asleep for 15 years.
[06:08] ---
    Fif... teen... years...
[06:11] ---
    Oh! You can speak.
[06:14] ---
    I don't think you'll have to wait long
    before starting rehab.
[06:19] ---
    Mom has spent four hours of every day
    for the last 15 years caring for my body.

[06:28] ---
    For the last three years,
    she's been using an EMS device

[06:33] ---
    to prepare for the day when I woke up.
[06:36] ---
    She took care of my joints
    and my muscles.

[06:40] ---
    I was 139 cm tall in fifth grade,
    and now I'm 169 cm tall.

[06:48] ---
    Dr. Kitamura keeps saying,
    "This is all because of your mother"

[06:51] ---
    and "It's remarkable."
[06:55] ---
    Well, Satoru, I think
    this is a good time for it.
[06:58] ---
    Answer my next question.
[07:01] ---
    What's the last thing you remember
    before falling asleep?
[07:06] ---
    The last thing I remember...
[07:15] ---
    Huh?
[07:17] ---
    Huh?
[07:19] ---
    What was it again?
[07:24] ---
    That memory was blocked,
    locked up tight behind a door.

[07:32] ---
    Do you want to see yourself?
[07:36] ---
    Don't be shocked.
[07:37] ---
    What?
[07:38] ---
    Your face has changed a lot
    since you were 11.
[07:42] ---
    Your memories are scrambled too,
[07:45] ---
    so there may be discrepancies
    regarding your sense of self.
[07:49] ---
    At the time, I thought
    maybe he was right,

[07:52] ---
    but even being in the Heisei era
    for the first time,

[07:57] ---
    nothing felt out of place.

[08:17] ---
    Good morning, Satoru.
[08:20] ---
    Good morning.
[08:21] ---
    Satoru, you've got visitors.
[08:24] ---
    Long time no see, Satoru.
[08:26] ---
    You look good, Satoru.
[08:30] ---
    Kenya Kobayashi and Hiromi Sugita
[08:32] ---
    were especially good friends of mine.
[08:35] ---
    Kenya's a lawyer now,
    and Hiromi's a doctor.

[08:39] ---
    I talked with them about trivial things.
[08:43] ---
    It seemed that Kenya wanted
    to ask me something,

[08:46] ---
    but I think Mom had given him
    strict instructions.

[08:50] ---
    So we just chatted that day.
[08:54] ---
    See you!
[08:55] ---
    See you!
[08:58] ---
    There were a lot of things
    I wanted to ask them too,

[09:02] ---
    but it seems Mom was trying
    to avoid the topic of my past.

[09:07] ---
    Mom had been spending her life
    for the past 15 years only for me,

[09:11] ---
    having faith
    that I would awaken one day.

[09:14] ---
    If it's what Mom wishes,
    I guess I don't have to remember.

[09:28] ---
    Are you okay?
[09:29] ---
    Why don't we call it a day?
[09:40] ---
    Satoru!
[10:03] ---
    Congratulations, Kayo.
SIGN    Episode 11 Future
[10:08] ---
    I got married.
[10:09] ---
    My name is Kayo Sugita now.
[10:12] ---
    Your baby's father is Hiromi then?
[10:14] ---
    Yeah.
[10:15] ---
    It seemed like Hiromi wanted
    to tell me something.
[10:17] ---
    Maybe it was about your child.
[10:19] ---
    Could've been.
[10:20] ---
    Come to think of it, the baby has
    Hiromi's long eyelashes.
[10:23] ---
    Yeah, even though he's a boy.
[10:25] ---
    His name is Mirai.
[10:27] ---
    Mirai... The "future"...
[10:29] ---
    That's a good name.
[10:32] ---
    Satoru...
[10:33] ---
    To be honest,
    we felt kind of uncomfortable.
[10:36] ---
    Thinking "Is it all right
    for just us to become happy?"
[10:39] ---
    Even though we may have been
    the cause of you being in a coma...
[10:44] ---
    It kind of felt...
[10:46] ---
    like we were leaving you behind.
[10:51] ---
    Kayo, my fate is my own.
[10:54] ---
    There's no need for you
    to feel responsible.
[10:56] ---
    I'm sure that what's become of me
    was a result of something I wanted.
[11:02] ---
    You were asleep for 15 years
    but still have a silver tongue.
[11:09] ---
    Even so, Satoru...
[11:11] ---
    Before, I could only imagine being alone,
[11:14] ---
    but now I've got a family,
[11:17] ---
    and it was all made possible
    because of you.
[11:19] ---
    Thank you.
[11:22] ---
    Thank you...
[11:25] ---
    What did I do?
[11:30] ---
    Okay, okay.
[11:32] ---
    Are you hungry?
[11:33] ---
    Okay, okay.
[11:43] ---
    Satoru?
[11:44] ---
    Are you all right?
[11:45] ---
    Yeah.
[11:46] ---
    I'm sorry to spring all of this on you.
[11:48] ---
    I've tired you out.
[11:51] ---
    Well, I'll visit again.
[11:53] ---
    Yeah. See you later.
[12:12] ---
    Oh, Satoru. You're back?
[12:15] ---
    Yeah.
[12:16] ---
    Hinazuki was here a little while ago.
[12:18] ---
    Yeah. I saw her too.
[12:20] ---
    Her baby's adorable, isn't he?
[12:25] ---
    Listen...
[12:27] ---
    Mom...
[12:28] ---
    Yes?
[12:31] ---
    They're here again.
[12:34] ---
    What is it?
[12:35] ---
    Photographers for gossip rags.
[12:37] ---
    They want to write articles
    about you being in a coma for 15 years.
[12:42] ---
    Oh, that's right, Satoru...
[12:43] ---
    You were going to tell me something?
[12:45] ---
    No, it was nothing.
[12:49] ---
    Come in.
[12:53] ---
    Hello.
[12:54] ---
    Thank you for everything.
[12:57] ---
    Dr. Kitamura, when will I
    be able to walk again?
[13:02] ---
    I don't know.
    That could depend on you.
[13:04] ---
    Then from today, please let me
    do twice as much rehab.
[13:08] ---
    I'm anxious to walk outside.
[13:12] ---
    I'll think about it.
[13:13] ---
    Excuse me a minute.
[13:16] ---
    Yes, thank you, Director.
[13:19] ---
    He's making a smooth recovery.
[13:21] ---
    He could regain
    his memories at any time.
[13:25] ---
    No.
[13:26] ---
    As I said the other day,
    I have to refuse that.
[13:30] ---
    My patient isn't a mouse—
SIGN    SATORU FUJINUMA
[13:35] ---
    Excuse me.
[13:39] ---
    Amazing, Satoru!
[13:42] ---
    Your arms and legs
    have gotten a lot stronger.
[14:08] ---
    Congratulations, Satoru!
[14:09] ---
    That was great, Mr. Fujinuma!
    You really walked all that way!
[14:13] ---
    It was an awesome effort!
[14:27] ---
    Satoru, Kenya is here to see you.
[14:30] ---
    Hi, Kenya.
[14:32] ---
    Sorry to bother you now.
[14:34] ---
    No, thank you for coming.
[14:36] ---
    Hello, Satoru.
[14:40] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[14:41] ---
    I used to work with your mother.
[14:44] ---
    We met several times
    before you started elementary school.
[14:49] ---
    That was over 20 years ago.
[14:51] ---
    He could never remember that.
[14:59] ---
    Well, I'll visit again.
[15:01] ---
    Take care.
[15:04] ---
    We've waited 15 years for this.
[15:06] ---
    There's no need to be impatient now.
[15:08] ---
    Let's take it slowly.
[15:10] ---
    Agreed.
[15:21] ---
    Hello.
[15:25] ---
    I see.
[15:27] ---
    So you've got surgery
    the week after next, Kumi.
[15:29] ---
    My sister is going to
    give me her bone marrow.
[15:33] ---
    They say that's what's going to cure me.
[15:36] ---
    But...
[15:37] ---
    I'm scared.
[15:42] ---
    Is it true you were asleep for 15 years?
[15:45] ---
    You've been here
    for about three months, huh, Kumi?
[15:50] ---
    Yeah.
[15:51] ---
    I've been trying all this time
    to look good in front of you.
[15:55] ---
    I'll be really disappointed
    once you're out of here.
[16:06] ---
    Courage.
[16:09] ---
    Want me to tell you
    how to muster up courage?
[16:13] ---
    You picture the smiling face
    of someone who's dear to you.
[16:16] ---
    Of course, you have to smile too.

    Time's drifter...

    He wakes up after 15 years,
    is interested in little girls,
[16:27] ---
    is a kid at heart with an adult's body,
    and he may be released soon.
[16:31] ---
    How do you like that angle?
[16:32] ---
    Nice.
[16:35] ---
    Secretly taking photos
    of a civilian in the hospital...
[16:38] ---
    Defamation, trespassing...
[16:41] ---
    Plenty to warrant punishment by law.
[16:43] ---
    Get your asses out of here.
[16:47] ---
    The flowers were beautiful.
[16:51] ---
    Mr. Nishizono!
[16:52] ---
    Hello!
[16:53] ---
    Hi, Kumi.
[16:57] ---
    Satoru Fujinuma...
[17:00] ---
    Yes...
[17:01] ---
    It's me. Have you forgotten?
[17:04] ---
    Well, I've changed a lot.
[17:08] ---
    Here, I was your
    homeroom teacher in fifth grade.
[17:12] ---
    Gaku Yashiro.
[17:16] ---
    I go by "Nishizono" now.
[17:19] ---
    I changed my given name to "Manabu."
[17:22] ---
    Why did you change your name?
[17:24] ---
    Actually, I got married five years ago
[17:27] ---
    and was adopted into her
    family as a son-in-law.
[17:30] ---
    My father-in-law was a city council
    member for many years,
[17:34] ---
    but he passed away three years ago.
[17:36] ---
    I inherited his constituency
    and joined the council myself.
[17:39] ---
    That's when I changed
    my given name,
[17:41] ---
    keeping the kanji but going
    with the more common reading.
[17:44] ---
    So you're a politician now?
[17:46] ---
    Still a freshman council member though.
[17:50] ---
    But I have a feeling you'll make
    a great politician, Mr. Yashiro.
[17:56] ---
    I met Kumi at a charity event
    for leukemia.
[18:01] ---
    The director of this hospital is my
    acquaintance, and he introduced us.
[18:05] ---
    Oh, really?
[18:07] ---
    I found out you'd regained
    consciousness some time before that.
[18:10] ---
    It took me long enough
    to pay you a visit.
[18:15] ---
    You went out of your way to visit me?
[18:18] ---
    I'd been anticipating
    your awakening for 15 years.
[18:23] ---
    Thank you.
[18:25] ---
    You must've been through a lot.
[18:28] ---
    I'm sorry. I...
[18:30] ---
    Yes, I've heard.
[18:34] ---
    You haven't regained
    all of your memories, right?
[18:37] ---
    Remembering them gradually is best.
[19:21] ---
    Hi.
[19:24] ---
    Mr. Yashiro...
[19:25] ---
    Are you also going to see Kumi?
[19:27] ---
    Yes. Her surgery is scheduled
    for the day after tomorrow,
[19:29] ---
    and this is the last day
    she can have visitors.
[19:32] ---
    Yes. I just saw her now.
[19:35] ---
    That being said, she was sleeping,
    so I couldn't talk to her.
[19:38] ---
    Oh, really?
[19:40] ---
    Then maybe I'll try again later.
[19:43] ---
    Since you're here,
    do you have time to chat?
[19:46] ---
    Sure, but I don't want to be interrupted
    by the gossip mag hounds,
[19:49] ---
    so why don't we go somewhere else?
[19:54] ---
    I found the perfect place.
SIGN    DELIVERIES
[20:01] ---
    You didn't know
    about this elevator, did you?
[20:07] ---
    This is kind of an adventure, isn't it?
[20:17] ---
    Would you push the roof button?
[20:39] ---
    Too bad...
[20:41] ---
    If it'd been a clear day,
    the sunset would've been beautiful.
[20:44] ---
    But there won't be any weird
    photographers up here.
[20:48] ---
    The roof is really off limits,
    so don't tell anyone.
[20:53] ---
    I'm reminded of how you,
    Kenya and Hiromi often said,
[20:56] ---
    "Let's go to the hideout!"
    Your pretend secret base, right?
[21:01] ---
    Yashiro...
[21:08] ---
    I have...
[21:09] ---
    my memories back!
