**[00:00] ---**
I'm having a birthday.
I want you to come.
**[00:04] ---**
Sure.
**[00:05] ---**
It's kind of easy to talk to you
these days, Fujinuma.
**[00:10] ---**
*Well...*
**[00:11] ---**
That's because
I decided not to lie to you.
**[00:14] ---**
*I just said that out loud.*
**[00:19] ---**
H-Hinazuki!
**[00:20] ---**
I'll see you tomorrow!
**[00:25] ---**
*This is the last place
I saw Hinazuki 18 years ago.*
**[00:31] ---**
*Her body was found
after the snow melted...*
**[00:34] ---**
*but what day did she disappear in March?*

Ow!
**[02:42] ---**
I hear the boys are gonna
race each other one on one.
**[02:45] ---**
Huh.
**[02:46] ---**
This should be fun!
**[02:48] ---**
Well, I'm sure Hamada's gonna
get the best time.
**[02:51] ---**
I guess.
**[02:54] ---**
Hamada!
**[02:55] ---**
- Ice hockey team!
- Hamada, do your best!
**[02:57] ---**
- Good luck!
- Do your best!
**[02:58] ---**
Shut up, already.
**[03:01] ---**
Go!
**[03:05] ---**
I'm not gonna hold back, y'know.
**[03:06] ---**
Okay.
**[03:08] ---**
*Hamada is a regular
on the ice hockey team,*
**[03:10] ---**
*the kind who'd win
the national championship.*
**[03:12] ---**
*Come to think of it,
I remember racing against him.*
**[03:17] ---**
Fujinuma is racing Hamada.
**[03:19] ---**
Poor guy!
**[03:21] ---**
Hinazuki, you should cheer him on.
**[03:25] ---**
Come on, Hinazuki!
**[03:29] ---**
Fujinuma, are you going to win?
**[03:32] ---**
I'll go as fast as I can.
**[03:34] ---**
I see. Then good luck.
**[03:40] ---**
On your mark...
**[03:42] ---**
Get set...
**[03:46] ---**
Crap!
**[03:50] ---**
- All right! Go!
- Satoru, go for it!
**[03:51] ---**
That's the way!
**[03:52] ---**
- Hamada, what are you doing?!
- Try harder!
**[03:55] ---**
This guy is fast!
**[03:56] ---**
Fujinuma probably started
before the pistol went off.
**[04:01] ---**
*Is it okay to win?*
**[04:03] ---**
*Would victory have any meaning?*
**[04:06] ---**
Go for it!
**[04:08] ---**
*This guy goes through
hard training every day.*
**[04:12] ---**
*The winner should be...*
**[04:20] ---**
Goal!
**[04:22] ---**
I knew Hamada would win in the end!
**[04:26] ---**
That was awesome!
**[04:27] ---**
He gave Hamada a run for his money!
That's a big deal!
**[04:30] ---**
Right, Kenya?
**[04:36] ---**
Fujinuma!
**[04:39] ---**
I hate punks like you!
**[04:45] ---**
Satoru!
**[04:47] ---**
That was a close one!
**[04:48] ---**
Shut up!
**[04:49] ---**
What's up with Hamada?
**[04:50] ---**
I know. Just because he almost lost...
**[04:53] ---**
It's okay.
**[04:56] ---**
*I remember.*
**[05:00] ---**
*I hate punks like you!*
**[05:03] ---**
*I made the same mistake
I did 18 years ago.*
**[05:16] ---**
Wait, Hinazuki!
**[05:19] ---**
Hamada really was fast.
**[05:22] ---**
Oh.
**[05:24] ---**
Hey,
***SIGN*** X-DAY
**[05:25] ---**
tell me your birthday, Hinazuki.
**[05:31] ---**
What's wrong?
**[05:35] ---**
You said you wouldn't lie to me.
**[05:39] ---**
Sorry.
**[05:41] ---**
For some reason, I thought
Hamada should win today.
**[05:44] ---**
Oh.
**[05:46] ---**
Um...
**[05:47] ---**
It doesn't matter.
**[05:49] ---**
We're both fakes and liars.
**[05:58] ---**
Satoru, wanna walk home together?
**[06:04] ---**
Sorry! I left something
in the room, so go on ahead!

**[06:28] ---**
What's the matter, Satoru?
**[06:30] ---**
Yashiro-sensei...
**[06:32] ---**
U-Um...
**[06:35] ---**
Is it about Kayo?
**[06:37] ---**
*His intuition is good...*
**[06:39] ---**
I wanted to look up
her birthday. I'm sorry.
**[06:42] ---**
I see.
**[06:44] ---**
Satoru, it seems like
you've gotten friendly with Kayo lately.
**[06:47] ---**
I wouldn't say that...
**[06:49] ---**
You didn't ask her directly?
**[06:51] ---**
I told her my birthday,
**[06:52] ---**
but she wouldn't tell me hers.
**[06:56] ---**
That makes sense.
**[06:57] ---**
Here, see for yourself.
**[06:58] ---**
*What do you mean, "that makes sense?"*
**[07:00] ---**
Kayo Hinazuki - March 2nd
Satoru Fujinuma - March 2nd
**[07:02] ---**
*The same day as me...*
**[07:04] ---**
I see.
**[07:06] ---**
Thank you!
**[07:07] ---**
Well, Kayo is pretty shy, so it was probably hard
for her to say that you share the same birthday.
**[07:13] ---**
It's probably a good idea to celebrate it
with her without thinking too much.
**[07:15] ---**
Yeah. I will.
**[07:17] ---**
Well... excuse me!
**[07:20] ---**
Satoru...
**[07:22] ---**
That was a close race today.
**[07:25] ---**
Doing your best
is the key to everything.
**[07:26] ---**
I'm counting on you with Kayo, too.
**[07:28] ---**
Okay!
**[07:30] ---**
*Gaku Yashiro...*
**[07:32] ---**
*He's about my age in this time period.*
**[07:34] ---**
*And he's got a sharp, observing eye.*
**[07:44] ---**
*I know when X-day is.*
***SIGN*** MARCH 1st
**[07:48] ---**
*March 1st.*
***SIGN*** *February 19th*
**[07:51] ---**
*11 days from now...*
**[07:54] ---**
*First, I have to make up with Hinazuki.*
**[08:00] ---**
Huh? She's not here.
**[08:14] ---**
Satoru!
**[08:19] ---**
*Yuuki!*
**[08:23] ---**
I-It looks like
you've made lots of friends.
**[08:27] ---**
Good for you.
**[08:28] ---**
*Yuuki is 23 years old in this time period.*
**[08:31] ---**
*He's younger than me now.*
**[08:33] ---**
It's thanks to you, Yuuki.
**[08:35] ---**
No, it isn't!
**[08:36] ---**
I-I-It's because
you mustered up courage.
**[08:40] ---**
The feeling you had of wanting to have fun
with everyone g-got across.
**[08:45] ---**
*His stuttering and softhearted soul
are just like I remember.*
**[08:48] ---**
*He's a good person.*
**[08:51] ---**
Yuuki, do you know Kayo Hinazuki?
**[08:54] ---**
Kayo? Sure I know her.
**[08:56] ---**
*That was a quick answer.*
**[08:58] ---**
She's always in the park alone, right?
**[09:00] ---**
I've talked to her a number of times.
**[09:03] ---**
Is she a classmate?
**[09:05] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:05] ---**
Huh. I didn't know.
**[09:08] ---**
Jun! Time to eat!
**[09:11] ---**
You can start without me!
**[09:13] ---**
Isn't it early for dinner?
**[09:15] ---**
We get up early.
**[09:16] ---**
I work at my dad's bento shop
from four in the morning.
**[09:20] ---**
Four?
**[09:21] ---**
Yeah. But just until noon.
**[09:24] ---**
I see.
**[09:25] ---**
*We always hung out in the afternoon,*
**[09:27] ---**
*so I assumed he was unemployed.*
**[09:30] ---**
*Now that I'm 29,*
**[09:32] ---**
*I can tell he's making an effort
to curb his dialect when he talks to me.*
**[09:36] ---**
*To a kid, the way he talks
has a persuasiveness and maturity.*
**[09:41] ---**
*Tell me about the way he talked.*
**[09:43] ---**
*Did you think he was a good person?*
**[09:47] ---**
There was another feature
on the papercrafting tournament.
**[09:54] ---**
U-Um... Someone gave them to me,
**[09:57] ---**
a-a-and I couldn't just throw them out.
**[09:59] ---**
It's okay. I don't care.
**[10:02] ---**
*Was there anything in his room
that made you feel uneasy?*
**[10:11] ---**
I'd better get going.
**[10:12] ---**
Okay.
**[10:16] ---**
Satoru, you've become
more mature somehow.
**[10:22] ---**
Really?
**[10:24] ---**
Yeah.

*Jun Shiratori.*
**[10:30] ---**
*In my present of 2006,*
**[10:31] ---**
*he's a prisoner on Death Row.*
**[10:33] ---**
*Ever since the first trial,
he's claimed to be innocent.*
**[10:39] ---**
*I just can't believe
that Yuuki would kill anyone.*
**[10:43] ---**
*If the abductions don't take place,
he won't be a suspect or anything.*
**[10:47] ---**
*Yuuki, wait for me.*
**[10:50] ---**
*I promise to...*
**[10:56] ---**
*She's not home yet?*
**[11:04] ---**
*It's kind of a dump.*
**[11:09] ---**
*What's this?*
**[11:11] ---**
*Gloves!*
**[11:16] ---**
*Don't tell me...*
**[11:24] ---**
Hinazuki!
**[11:27] ---**
Don't look at me...
**[11:30] ---**
Close it.
**[11:32] ---**
N-No. You'll catch cold in here!
**[11:34] ---**
Stay away from me!
**[11:41] ---**
Huh? What's wrong, Kayo?
**[11:44] ---**
You're in here alone again?
**[11:47] ---**
*She...*
**[11:49] ---**
*She did this!*
**[11:54] ---**
Get in the house right now.
**[12:05] ---**
Hey...
**[12:06] ---**
How did Hinazuki get hurt like that?
**[12:11] ---**
Answer him, Kayo.
**[12:19] ---**
I fell.
**[12:24] ---**
*I couldn't find the words
to answer Hinazuki's sad lie.*
**[12:31] ---**
*And she wouldn't look at me.*

***SIGN*** *On Duty:
Kayo Hinazuki, Satoru Fujinuma*
**[13:35] ---**
Morning, Satoru.
**[13:37] ---**
Good morning.
**[13:39] ---**
Good morning.
**[13:40] ---**
Boy, it's cold.
**[13:43] ---**
To find the radius,
**[13:44] ---**
you multiply the diameter by 3.14,
which is the circumference.
**[13:47] ---**
And if you do the opposite,
you'll get the diameter,
**[13:51] ---**
so if you split that in half—
**[13:54] ---**
*Hinazuki...*
**[13:57] ---**
It's okay. Take your seat.
**[14:00] ---**
Okay, who will solve this at the board?
**[14:04] ---**
How about Satou? Will you do it?
**[14:05] ---**
Me?!
**[14:07] ---**
Oh, come on. It's easy.
***SIGN*** SCHOOL LUNCH FEE
**[14:16] ---**
*School Lunch Fee*
**[14:16] ---**
We're collecting the school lunch fee!
**[14:19] ---**
*I have to change...*
**[14:20] ---**
Please put it in here!
**[14:21] ---**
*...the future.*
**[14:22] ---**
If you forgot today, bring it tomorrow!
**[14:25] ---**
The reason Kayo is often late
or absent on Mondays...
**[14:30] ---**
Do you know, Satoru?
**[14:32] ---**
Because Hinazuki's mother
beats her on Saturday.
**[14:36] ---**
I see. Then you've noticed.
**[14:39] ---**
You knew, Sensei?
**[14:41] ---**
Well...
**[14:43] ---**
What is it? Sensei, tell me!
**[14:45] ---**
I've been struggling with the idea
of talking to the students about it.
**[14:49] ---**
Even in class, Kayo is cut off
from everyone else, right?
**[14:51] ---**
I thought if everyone knew
she was being physically abused,
**[14:54] ---**
they would be prejudiced against her.
**[14:57] ---**
That's not true!
**[14:59] ---**
I know, Satoru.
**[15:00] ---**
For you, it's not.
**[15:01] ---**
That's why I'll tell you everything.
**[15:04] ---**
But don't share it with your classmates.
**[15:06] ---**
Okay.
**[15:07] ---**
To be honest, I began to suspect
Kayo's mother last May.
**[15:13] ---**
But there weren't any tangible signs yet.
**[15:16] ---**
Why not?
**[15:17] ---**
Kayo's mother craftily hid the marks.
**[15:20] ---**
The Child Consultation Center
visited their house three times,
**[15:25] ---**
but maybe the mother
has good intuition
**[15:26] ---**
because each time she and Kayo
were out of the house,
**[15:28] ---**
so an official interview
hasn't been conducted yet.
**[15:31] ---**
What the hell?
Then they're incompetent.
**[15:33] ---**
*I said that out loud.*
**[15:35] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:36] ---**
I've seen the mother a number of times,
**[15:39] ---**
and physical abuse is definitely going on.
**[15:42] ---**
Now the Child Consultation Center
just has to confirm it.
**[15:44] ---**
Then they'll take Kayo away
from her mother.
**[15:47] ---**
*So he's already made
the preliminary arrangements.*
**[15:50] ---**
But once that happens,
**[15:53] ---**
Kayo won't be in class anymore, Satoru.
**[15:56] ---**
If it saves Hinazuki, I don't care.
**[15:59] ---**
Hurry, Sensei.
**[16:02] ---**
*I'm positive Yashiro is waiting
until spring vacation before taking action.*
**[16:07] ---**
*But it'll be too late by then!*
**[16:10] ---**
*Hurry, dammit!*
**[16:13] ---**
Sit down!
**[16:14] ---**
*D-Dammit...*
**[16:17] ---**
*It's gone.*
**[16:18] ---**
*The lunch money is gone.*
**[16:20] ---**
*29 years old and I've gotta
be involved in an incident like this?*
**[16:26] ---**
Sensei...
**[16:28] ---**
What is it?
**[16:29] ---**
Everyone's lunch money
**[16:31] ---**
is gone.
**[16:35] ---**
Excuse me! Not gone!
**[16:37] ---**
I think somebody must have stolen it!
**[16:39] ---**
And I'm suspicious of Hinazuki!
**[16:41] ---**
Hey... On what grounds?
**[16:44] ---**
After all, Hinazuki
doesn't pay for her lunches,
**[16:48] ---**
and I think the culprit has to be
somebody who's poor.
**[16:51] ---**
That may be right!
**[16:52] ---**
Hey, did you take it, Hinazuki?
**[16:54] ---**
*Little brat...*
**[16:57] ---**
I think the truth will come out
if we do a search of everyone's bags.
**[17:00] ---**
I agree!
**[17:02] ---**
Jeez. I just wanna eat lunch!
**[17:06] ---**
You're not going to look?
**[17:07] ---**
I didn't take it,
so what's the point of lookin'?
**[17:10] ---**
Search the bag of the person next to you.
**[17:13] ---**
I bet you stole it, didn't you?
**[17:14] ---**
Idiot!
**[17:15] ---**
Come on, find the thief!
**[17:17] ---**
I didn't find anything!
**[17:18] ---**
Then it was Hinazuki?
**[17:19] ---**
Of course!
**[17:20] ---**
Poor! Poor!
**[17:23] ---**
Here it is.
**[17:24] ---**
- It was Hinazuki!
- The poor girl really did do it!
**[17:26] ---**
See? Just like I said!
**[17:28] ---**
Kayo is the thief!
**[17:29] ---**
Shut up!
**[17:31] ---**
I don't care if she's poor or hungry!
**[17:33] ---**
Hinazuki would never
steal from anybody!
**[17:40] ---**
*You probably did it.*
**[17:43] ---**
Listen, anyone could've taken it
from Satoru's desk and planted it.
**[17:52] ---**
Everyone! Kayo is on duty today,
**[17:54] ---**
so there's nothing unusual
about her having the lunch money.
**[17:57] ---**
Misato, Satoru,
that's the end of it, okay?
**[17:59] ---**
Let's have lunch!
**[18:01] ---**
That's right.
**[18:02] ---**
Okay!
**[18:03] ---**
*School is out, everyone.*
**[18:06] ---**
*Students who are still in the building,
please turn off the lights...*
**[18:07] ---**
*This is awkward.*
**[18:11] ---**
Fujinuma, thanks for before.
**[18:14] ---**
It's okay. What she said
was totally uncalled-for.
**[18:18] ---**
In third grade,
**[18:20] ---**
Misato kept making fun of my pencils,
**[18:22] ---**
so I threw her prized
mechanical pencil out the window.
**[18:28] ---**
She's hated me ever since.
**[18:31] ---**
Although it's mutual...
**[18:33] ---**
But she once invited me
to a Christmas party.
**[18:38] ---**
It was just so she could show off
her big Christmas tree.
**[18:42] ---**
But it was beautiful.
**[18:46] ---**
*I remember...*
**[18:49] ---**
Listen...
**[18:51] ---**
Wanna go see one after this?
**[18:53] ---**
See what?
**[18:54] ---**
A Christmas tree.
**[18:57] ---**
Are you stupid?
**[19:03] ---**
Here.
**[19:03] ---**
*Satoru Fujinuma*
**[19:06] ---**
They're working gloves,
**[19:08] ---**
but it's cold up in the mountains.
**[19:12] ---**
I didn't agree to go.
**[19:21] ---**
I always used to ski
and bobsled in this area.
**[19:27] ---**
I even saw red foxes once in a while.
**[19:37] ---**
There!
**[19:41] ---**
W-Wow!
**[19:43] ---**
*I remembered the red foxes
running around at my feet.*
**[19:47] ---**
*18 years ago, I saw it alone,*
**[19:50] ---**
*and no one believed me
when I told them.*
**[20:02] ---**
I wonder if they're a couple.
**[20:03] ---**
