[00:01] ---
    A miserable fate, wallowing in petty evil.
[00:04] ---
    Is it a dream or reality?
[00:06] ---
    Light or darkness?
[00:08] ---
    The divine words come to mind,
    then disappear.

[00:11] ---
    But during that time, it flickers.
[00:13] ---
    This evening's entertainment
    speaks to such tidings.

[00:16] ---
    It's about an unresolvable grudge
    that is yet satisfied.

[01:51] ---
    I'm gonna send
    the old tobacco shop lady to Hell!
[01:55] ---
    What happened?
[01:56] ---
    What happened is...
[01:58] ---
    Kikuri was walking down the street,
    eating ice cream,
[02:00] ---
    when a cat suddenly
    ran out of the alley at her side.
[02:02] ---
    She was so surprised that she jumped back,
    slipped on a pebble
[02:05] ---
    and fell into a puddle head first
    with a big splash!
[02:10] ---
    There's nothing funny about it, Eyeball!
[02:12] ---
    So why is it
    the old tobacco shop lady's fault?
[02:17] ---
    I guess the old woman is the cat's owner.
[02:20] ---
    Then you should have
    a grudge against the cat.
[02:22] ---
    It's negligent ownership!
    It's the old lady's fault!
[02:25] ---
    I know how it feels
    to want to blame someone,
[02:29] ---
    but imagine a dog bit you
    and you let it go.
[02:32] ---
    It was a cat, not a dog, you idiot!
[02:35] ---
    I'm gonna have Ai send her to Hell!
[02:36] ---
    Hey! Wait!
[02:38] ---
    Leave her. Milady won't do as she says.
[02:41] ---
    Well, that's true.
[02:45] ---
    What's up with you?
[02:49] ---
    I see.
[02:50] ---
    I just can't forget that one case...
[02:58] ---
    You're the hottest one...
[03:03] ---
    I just wanna make you understand...
[03:08] ---
    Come on!
[03:09] ---
    Hey!
[03:10] ---
    Baby!
[03:11] ---
    Shake, shake it, shake your butt, baby!
[03:15] ---
    Let's do it until we're satisfied!
[03:17] ---
    BUS STOP
    HAINAN PASS
    NAKAMORI TRANSPORT
[03:21] ---
    Hey!
[03:22] ---
    Baby!
[03:23] ---
    Shake, shake it, shake your butt, baby!
[03:27] ---
    Let's do it—
[03:49] ---
    You lookin' to get yourself killed, old man?
[03:53] ---
    Can I hitch a ride?
[03:58] ---
    BLACK RUT
[04:10] ---
    You won't see any buses around here
    once the sun goes down.
[04:14] ---
    You need to check the schedule carefully.
[04:18] ---
    Lesson learned.
[04:20] ---
    I felt such a strong sense of nostalgia here
    that I let the time get away from me.
[04:26] ---
    You used to live around here?
[04:28] ---
    Lived around here... Something like that.
[04:43] ---
    Push!
[04:45] ---
    Push!
[04:47] ---
    Push!
[04:54] ---
    The road wasn't this nice back then.
[04:58] ---
    Yeah.
[04:59] ---
    This is a recent improvement.
[05:02] ---
    Do you often come through here?
[05:04] ---
    Yeah.
[05:07] ---
    I started this job
    right after graduating high school,
[05:11] ---
    and I've never looked back.
[05:13] ---
    For some reason, I've loved wheels
    ever since I was a kid.
[05:21] ---
    I think we've got that in common.
[05:24] ---
    What? You like cars, too, Gramps?
[05:26] ---
    I bet you used to race
    when you were young.
[05:29] ---
    That's the vibe I get from you!
[05:37] ---
    Back when I started this job,
    this road hadn't opened yet.
[05:42] ---
    I used to take that one.
[05:44] ---
    I bet you remember that road.
[05:48] ---
    Suppose I do.
[05:49] ---
    What do you look so happy about?
[05:52] ---
    Was it a memorable date course
    or something?
[05:56] ---
    Nothing so trivial.
[06:05] ---
    Here they come!
[06:10] ---
    Go, Milady!
[06:21] ---
    I had confidence in my driving, but...
[06:32] ---
    Gramps, Japanese tea okay?
[06:35] ---
    Sure, thank you.
[06:40] ---
    Catch!
[06:43] ---
    But this road isn't totally developed.
[06:57] ---
    At the end of the road is a house
    that refused the order to clear out.
[07:02] ---
    That's the only part
    where you have to drive on the old road.
[07:06] ---
    If you've been on this road before,
    you must know it.
[07:09] ---
    A house with a straw-thatched roof
    that may collapse anytime.
[07:13] ---
    The road avoids that house, but the old
    and new roads converge right before it.
[07:18] ---
    The road narrows, and it's poorly paved,
    and worse, there's a hairpin curve.
[07:26] ---
    It's really dangerous.
[07:28] ---
    A high school student died
    in an accident there recently.
[07:35] ---
    I see. So it was right there...
[07:50] ---
    Milady!
[08:02] ---
    Milady!
[08:17] ---
    How many hundreds of years have passed?
[08:22] ---
    You think that sort of thing is forgivable?
[08:27] ---
    The accident happened because the person
    living there wouldn't move.
[08:31] ---
    Someone died because of that.
[08:34] ---
    Even though the company offered
    to provide him with a new house,
[08:37] ---
    Wait!
[08:37] ---
    he wouldn't cooperate,
    just stood his ground.
[08:38] ---
    Talk to me!
[08:40] ---
    Come out!
[08:40] ---
    Rumor has it he was just holding out
    to get a better deal.
[08:42] ---
    Leave me alone!
[08:45] ---
    It's just one old man living there!
[08:49] ---
    Was he that greedy, holding out like that?
[09:01] ---
    Excuse me! Excuse me
    for bothering you at night!
[09:10] ---
    What is it?
[09:14] ---
    Sorry. Could I rest for a spell
    at your house?
[09:18] ---
    Try somewhere else.
[09:20] ---
    But I haven't seen any other homes!
[09:23] ---
    Please! Thirty minutes would be fine!
[09:26] ---
    I'm exhausted from walking for hours!
[09:36] ---
    Are you alone?
[09:41] ---
    Yes.
[09:43] ---
    I had a date tonight.
[09:46] ---
    We drove his car to the beach
    on the other side of this road.
[09:49] ---
    But on the way home,
    we got into a big argument,
[09:52] ---
    and in the heat of the moment,
    I got out of the car.
[09:56] ---
    I figured with only one road, how hard
    could it be? But I underestimated it.
[10:00] ---
    After hours of walking,
    I'm still nowhere close to home.
[10:06] ---
    That was rough.
[10:09] ---
    I forgot my phone in his car, too.
    I didn't know what I was going to do.
[10:13] ---
    I was scared of hitching a ride
    with a stranger, too.
[10:22] ---
    I'm an old man who lives alone,
    so I can't offer you much hospitality.
[10:27] ---
    I don't mind.
[10:29] ---
    What's wrong?
[10:31] ---
    It's nothing.
[10:42] ---
    Hey, Gramps...
[10:47] ---
    Have you heard of "Hell Correspondence"?
[10:54] ---
    HELL GIRL
[10:59] ---
    "Hell Correspondence," huh?
[11:02] ---
    There's a website by that name.
[11:06] ---
    If you type in the name of the person
    you have a grudge against,
[11:08] ---
    that person will be sent to Hell.
[11:13] ---
    Sounds like manga, doesn't it?
[11:15] ---
    But I checked the site out last night.
[11:20] ---
    The score will be settled.
[11:20] ---
    Send
[11:28] ---
    Do you have a grudge against somebody?
[11:38] ---
    The old man who lives in that house.
[11:41] ---
    That house?
[11:42] ---
    The one where the owner
    refused to move?
[11:46] ---
    Yeah.
[11:47] ---
    Before, I told you a high school student
    died in an accident there.
[11:52] ---
    He was my little brother.
[11:55] ---
    AHEAD
[11:56] ---
    Like me, he loved cars
    ever since he was a kid.
[12:01] ---
    He got his license as soon as he turned 18
[12:03] ---
    and wanted to be a truck-driver like me,
    but when he was driving down this road...
[12:34] ---
    Even after that,
    the old man refused to move!
[12:37] ---
    You think I can forgive him?
[12:41] ---
    You son of a bitch!
[12:45] ---
    It's your fault my brother's dead!
[12:47] ---
    So I entered the old man's name
    in the Hell Correspondence site.
[12:48] ---
    Your fault! Let go of me! Let go!
[12:53] ---
    The score will be settled.
[12:53] ---
    Hitori Kameoka
[12:53] ---
    Send
[12:58] ---
    But nothing happened.
[13:05] ---
    According to rumor, a "Hell Girl" will appear
    and give you a cursed straw doll.
[13:13] ---
    But she didn't show up for me.
[13:17] ---
    Maybe it was a mistake for me
    to rely on a rumor.
[13:22] ---
    For me to get revenge for my little brother
[13:24] ---
    without getting my own hands dirty.
[13:40] ---
    They're all dead.
[13:45] ---
    My oldest brother died in the war.
[13:47] ---
    The others died
    from accidents and diseases.
[13:51] ---
    My wife and I lived here all these years,
    but she passed away three years ago.
[13:58] ---
    I'm sure I don't have much time left, either.
[14:04] ---
    Neither does this house.
[14:06] ---
    Unattended Stand
[14:12] ---
    Do you have a phone, Gramps?
[14:15] ---
    No.
[14:16] ---
    Then you can borrow mine.
[14:19] ---
    You know how to use it, right?
[14:21] ---
    If you call from here, a taxi will come soon.
[14:27] ---
    You're telling me to get out?
[14:31] ---
    What do you intend to do?
[14:33] ---
    If Hell Girl won't come, I'll just
    have to take matters into my own hands.
[14:39] ---
    I see.
[14:41] ---
    I thought maybe you'd try to stop me.
[14:45] ---
    I could try. But you'd still do it.
[14:50] ---
    As long as that house is there,
    more accidents could happen.
[14:54] ---
    Somebody has to do something about it.
[14:57] ---
    Besides,
[14:59] ---
    somebody has to avenge my little brother!
[15:02] ---
    The poor kid...
[15:06] ---
    Recently, all kinds of people
    have been demanding that I move.
[15:11] ---
    Apparently, this house is in the way
    of the highway they want to construct.
[15:15] ---
    Easy for them to say. But this house
    has been here for hundreds of years.
[15:24] ---
    And where would they
    have me move instead?
[15:30] ---
    I was born in this house
    and have lived here ever since.
[15:34] ---
    FORCED REMOVAL COMPENSATION
    FOR HITORI KAMEOKA
[15:35] ---
    After all these years,
[15:36] ---
    they're telling me to live in an area
    I don't know, surrounded by strangers?
[15:41] ---
    It seems people think I'm stubbornly
    holding out for more money.
[15:48] ---
    But it's nothing of the sort.
    I don't need any money!
[15:53] ---
    All I want to do
    is live here quietly until I die.
[16:10] ---
    Milady...
[16:17] ---
    Shun, I'm gonna avenge you!
[16:31] ---
    Are you okay?
[16:35] ---
    Th-The altar drawer...
[16:39] ---
    Your medicine is in the drawer, right?
[16:50] ---
    Here I go!
[16:52] ---
    Here I go! Here I go!
[16:55] ---
    At this speed, you'll get into an accident
    before you plow into the house.
[17:00] ---
    G-Gramps!
[17:02] ---
    But you got out earlier!
[17:06] ---
    With Hell Girl,
[17:08] ---
    there's no guarantee she'll arrive
    right after you make the request.
[17:12] ---
    Sometimes she employs people like me
    to listen to the hearts of people like you.
[17:27] ---
    Hell Girl...
[17:34] ---
    Take this.
[17:36] ---
    There's still time.
[17:38] ---
    If you really want revenge,
[17:43] ---
    untie that red string.
[17:48] ---
    You and I will then
    officially have a contract.
[17:54] ---
    The person you have a grudge against
    will be dispatched to Hell promptly.
[17:58] ---
    But once that vengeance is carried out,
[18:01] ---
    you will also pay a price.
[18:05] ---
    Cursing someone is a double-edged sword.
[18:08] ---
    If you form this contract,
    your soul will also go to Hell.
[18:13] ---
    Although that's after you die.
[18:17] ---
    Hell...
[18:19] ---
    What are you going to do?
[18:22] ---
    That's fine!
[18:24] ---
    As long as it means he gets sent to Hell!
[18:27] ---
    Your request has been invalidated.
[18:31] ---
    That's right. You were a little too late.
[18:35] ---
    What do you mean, "invalidated"?
[18:39] ---
    The person you wanted to send
    to Hell is already gone.
[19:00] ---
    Instead of doing that,
    give him an offering of flowers.
[19:04] ---
    Flowers?
[19:08] ---
    Not the flowers from my kimono!
[19:16] ---
    That old man is dead?
[19:20] ---
    It seems he'd had a bad ticker
    for quite some time.
[19:23] ---
    He died just now.
[19:30] ---
    Too bad, huh?
[19:33] ---
    You've gotta be kidding me!
[19:35] ---
    I haven't avenged Shun yet!
[19:41] ---
    How could this happen?
[19:49] ---
    No...
[19:51] ---
    He's still alive!
[19:54] ---
    I'm gonna send him to Hell myself!
[20:01] ---
    Don't do this. It's pointless.
[20:03] ---
    It's to avenge my brother!
[20:45] ---
    Dying in the same place...
[20:48] ---
    I'm sure your brother doesn't want that.
[21:12] ---
    He said this was for you.
[21:15] ---
    Michirou Itou
[21:15] ---
    For me?
[21:27] ---
    This house is coming down.
[21:29] ---
    We'd better get out of here.
[21:31] ---
    You, too!
[21:43] ---
    The house died right after its owner.
[21:50] ---
    I was convinced
    he was just a greedy old man.
[21:57] ---
    Where did they go?
[22:01] ---
    Last Will and Testament
[22:01] ---
    "I give this property to the bereaved family
    of the student who died in the accident.
[22:05] ---
    Of course, the compensation
    for forced removal, too."
[22:09] ---
    That's right. That's what his will said.
[22:12] ---
    He said it was the least
    he could do to atone.
[22:16] ---
    Wanyuudou!
[22:17] ---
    Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll!
[22:19] ---
    Should we go, too?
[22:22] ---
    Quit being so foolish!
[22:26] ---
    Did you want to die
    right after your master?
[22:34] ---
    If I had, I wouldn't have met you,
    right, Milady?
