"Friday, June 17th, 1983"
**[00:27] ---**
What a childish prank.
**[00:30] ---**
Still, they've never come directly to
the house to antagonize me before...
**[00:36] ---**
There were those guys
snoopin' about our yard...
**[00:42] ---**
It must've been them!
**[00:45] ---**
Uncle, please, stay calm.
**[00:48] ---**
If you let your rage consume you
and turn to violence,
**[00:50] ---**
that will only give them
a reason to escalate.
**[00:54] ---**
I understand how you feel,
but we shouldn't retaliate--
**[01:01] ---**
Don't you worry.
**[01:03] ---**
I know my hair-trigger temper
not only lead me down a shitty life,
**[01:07] ---**
but it hurt the family
I love so damn much.
**[01:14] ---**
I was such a moron.
**[01:22] ---**
Yes, you certainly were.
**[01:25] ---**
"Child Welfare Services"
**[01:26] ---**
"Child Welfare Services"
Maebara-*san*... You're the boss.
Want to kick things off?
**[01:31] ---**
Thank you so much for coming here today!
**[01:34] ---**
Satoko Hojo has been locked in her house
by her uncle for several days now!
**[01:41] ---**
The same uncle who physically abused her
then abandoned her for a year!
**[01:44] ---**
How is he fit to be her "guardian"?!
**[01:47] ---**
We can't stand by and watch
Satoko-*chan* suffer any more!
**[01:53] ---**
But look at this crowd!
We'll show CWS how much we care!
**[01:58] ---**
We're not going to abandon one of our own!
**[02:01] ---**
This is our third straight day
of petitioning CWS,
**[02:04] ---**
and we're going to go in there and
tell them to handle her case immediately!
**[03:54] ---**
"Higurashi: When They Cry - SOTSU"
**[04:24] ---**
How'd it go, Kei-*chan*?
**[04:25] ---**
Felt like a repeat of yesterday.
**[04:28] ---**
So they're just gonna
keep "monitoring" her?
**[04:31] ---**
Yes, and they'll make
a decision in a month's time.
**[04:36] ---**
A month?! Who knows how much permanent
damage Satoko will suffer in a month!
**[04:40] ---**
At the very least, they did
seem to take us seriously...
**[04:44] ---**
We told everyone
we'd be back at this tomorrow,
**[04:47] ---**
but we might lose a few people.
**[04:50] ---**
This is so frustrating.
**[04:52] ---**
Even if nobody shows,
I'm not going to back down!
**[04:57] ---**
Neither will I.
**[04:58] ---**
If we don't work together,
we can't make miracles happen.
**[05:03] ---**
That's right.
**[05:04] ---**
Yeah!
**[05:14] ---**
"Watanagashi Festival Planning Meeting"
**[05:18] ---**
Look, the dam war ended ages ago!
**[05:22] ---**
It's done and over, as are the days
of bandin' together and protesting!
**[05:26] ---**
I'm not talking about "those days"
or the dam war or anything!
**[05:30] ---**
I'm talking about the war
I'm fighting right now!
**[05:34] ---**
You should watch your tongue!
**[05:37] ---**
Young people these days!
**[05:40] ---**
All right. Let's see what you've got.
**[05:44] ---**
Let's just be honest here.
**[05:46] ---**
You're afraid there are people here
who are against helping out the Hojos.
**[05:50] ---**
Isn't that right?
**[05:51] ---**
I see.
**[05:53] ---**
Maebara-*san* really believes
he's doing the right thing here.
**[06:00] ---**
And now that his friends
have duped him into believing that...
**[06:05] ---**
...he's taking part in the harassment
without realizing it at all.
**[06:09] ---**
He thinks he's protecting Satoko-*san*,
**[06:11] ---**
when really, he's trying to tear her away
from her only surviving family
**[06:13] ---**
which will hurt her even more.
**[06:17] ---**
How would he react if he knew the truth?
**[06:22] ---**
And the village is using
the Hojos as an excuse
**[06:25] ---**
to get fired up and band together again,
just like they did in the good old days.
**[06:30] ---**
You're proving to be a very useful pawn
for the culprits behind the curse.
**[06:37] ---**
You're not half bad, Maebara-*san*.
**[06:41] ---**
"Saturday, June 18th, 1983"
**[06:45] ---**
Yesterday's got nothing on today's crowd.
**[06:47] ---**
The whole village responded
to his call to action.
**[06:54] ---**
At least, it would seem so on the surface.
**[06:57] ---**
Only on the surface?
**[06:59] ---**
It's all going according to
the village's grand scheme.
**[07:02] ---**
Still, he's shaping up to be
a future Hinamizawa bigshot.
**[07:06] ---**
You might want to get on good terms
with him as soon as you can, Kuma-*chan*.
**[07:19] ---**
Where are you going?
**[07:22] ---**
Next spring, I'll finally be
old enough to retire.
**[07:26] ---**
Better go make the chief
look good while I can.
**[07:33] ---**
Is that...
**[07:34] ---**
Maebara-*san*! Hello there!
**[07:43] ---**
Sir...
**[07:44] ---**
I'll give the Okinomiya PD another call!
**[07:47] ---**
Right, I'll get him.
**[07:53] ---**
Ooishi-*san*!
**[07:55] ---**
The chief's trying to radio you.
**[07:57] ---**
Oh, thank you.
**[07:59] ---**
I need to step away for a moment.
**[08:02] ---**
I'd appreciate it if you all got
to dispersing this crowd.
**[08:09] ---**
Ooishi-*san*... I knew you were
going easy on them.
**[08:13] ---**
You're so quick to use force,
**[08:15] ---**
the second you tried to talk it out,
I knew something was up.
**[08:19] ---**
We'll let Maebara-*san*
take all the credit today.
**[08:25] ---**
Want a smoke?
**[08:30] ---**
Maebara-*san* doesn't doubt for a second
that he's doing the right thing.
**[08:37] ---**
What'd you say?
**[08:40] ---**
Now's the time to let *him* be the star
and for *us* to play a little pretend.
**[08:44] ---**
Huh?
**[08:46] ---**
Oh, my.
**[08:48] ---**
Here they are.
**[08:51] ---**
Let's go, Kuma-*chan*.
**[08:56] ---**
I know them!
**[08:58] ---**
How's it look down there?
Are they going to disperse?
**[09:06] ---**
O-Ooishi-*san* is talking to them right now.
**[09:14] ---**
What happened?!
**[09:16] ---**
They're coming in!
**[09:18] ---**
Okay, everyone! We're going in!
**[09:24] ---**
We're almost there, Satoko!
**[09:31] ---**
Now that smells damn good!
**[09:36] ---**
I can assure you, it tastes good, too!
**[09:38] ---**
Be a dear and set the table, will you?
**[09:41] ---**
I'm on it!
**[09:51] ---**
I'm so sorry for the trouble!
**[09:53] ---**
So you're gonna do something
to help her right away, yeah?
**[09:56] ---**
Of course!
**[09:57] ---**
Assistant Manager!
Head straight to the Hojo residence!
**[09:59] ---**
Wait, me?
**[10:02] ---**
Shouldn't we speak
with their social worker--
**[10:03] ---**
Please, she doesn't have much time!
**[10:07] ---**
O-Okay! I'll head out right away!
**[10:10] ---**
It's almost time for us
to move out, Kuma-*chan*.
**[10:12] ---**
If we don't do something, they may
very well scare Teppei out of the village.
**[10:17] ---**
Wait, is that a bad thing?
**[10:20] ---**
It would be. I need him to stick around
at least until Watanagashi.
**[10:29] ---**
Hold on a second, there.
**[10:31] ---**
You're not gonna try
to stop us again, are you?
**[10:34] ---**
Not at all.
**[10:36] ---**
Harayama-*san*!
**[10:37] ---**
If you're heading towards the Hojos,
then let me take you there.
**[10:41] ---**
--Huh?
--Are you sure?
**[10:43] ---**
Satoko-*chan*'s uncle will have to
let them in if they show up with the cops.
**[10:48] ---**
You're right.
**[10:49] ---**
But why the change of heart,
Detective Ooishi?
**[10:55] ---**
I want CWS to understand
how horrific the Hojo situation is.
**[11:00] ---**
Seeing it first-hand's
the best way to do that.
**[11:03] ---**
All right. Thanks for the help.
**[11:05] ---**
Okay, Harayama-*san*, this way, please.
**[11:09] ---**
Oh, right! Could you all disperse now?
**[11:23] ---**
Teppei Hojo-*san* and Satoko-*san*, I presume?
**[11:26] ---**
My name is Harayama, and I'm from
Okinomiya Child Welfare Services.
**[11:30] ---**
Child Welfare Services?!
**[11:32] ---**
Dammit, Detective!
The hell is the meaning of this?!
**[11:35] ---**
I figured having them come by to see
**[11:37] ---**
the truth with their own eyes
would be faster than explaining it myself.
**[11:43] ---**
What do you mean, "the truth"?
**[11:49] ---**
The village has banded together
to harass me and my uncle.
**[11:54] ---**
--What?
--What?
**[12:06] ---**
You knew all this, Ooishi-*san*?
**[12:09] ---**
They came to me for help before.
**[12:12] ---**
Still, I can't believe it...
**[12:14] ---**
The whole village is really
working together to harass them?
**[12:17] ---**
Hinamizawa is the one place
where something this rotten could happen.
**[12:27] ---**
I've done a thorough search of your home,
and interviewed Satoko-*san*.
**[12:31] ---**
And?
**[12:33] ---**
To be perfectly honest,
**[12:36] ---**
your home situation is nothing like
what the protesters were declaring.
**[12:40] ---**
That's what we've been tellin' ya!
**[12:42] ---**
Now, then, since you know the truth,
what will CWS be doing with the Hojos?
**[12:48] ---**
As someone born and raised in Okinomiya,
I know Hinamizawa is a *unique* place.
**[12:54] ---**
And with the Sonozaki family involved,
I can't say I'm sure how to handle this.
**[13:00] ---**
How about this, then?
**[13:02] ---**
Transfer responsibility
of this case to me.
**[13:07] ---**
Hand it over to the police.
**[13:10] ---**
Hold on, Ooishi-*san*!
We haven't even asked the chief if--
**[13:13] ---**
What do you say?
**[13:19] ---**
Yes, that will do.
I leave it to you, then.
**[13:23] ---**
Smart choice.
**[13:27] ---**
Come to think of it,
Watanagashi is tomorrow, isn't it?
**[13:32] ---**
What about it?
**[13:34] ---**
You're well aware of
Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse, yes?
**[13:37] ---**
A curse that targets
the village's enemies...
**[13:39] ---**
isn't that right?
**[13:42] ---**
We're the village's enemies.
**[13:44] ---**
That's right.
**[13:45] ---**
It's very likely that the criminals who
carry out that curse will come after you.
**[13:52] ---**
I'd recommend staying inside
all day tomorrow.
**[13:55] ---**
I-Is that enough to keep us safe?!
**[13:58] ---**
I'll keep watch over your house at night
when the festival's going on.
**[14:05] ---**
You'll be safe.
**[14:29] ---**
Hello?!
**[14:30] ---**
Rika?
**[14:32] ---**
Are you okay?!
Did Ooishi and CWS come to your--
**[14:36] ---**
Calm down, please.
**[14:38] ---**
Keiichi-*san* asked me the very same thing
when I called him just now.
**[14:42] ---**
So what happened, then?
**[14:45] ---**
When I asked for help,
my uncle got angry and attacked me...
**[14:50] ---**
But Ooishi-*san* subdued him
and took him off to the police station.
**[14:59] ---**
Are you hurt?
**[15:01] ---**
I'm fine. And now, my uncle will
never return to this house ever again.
**[15:09] ---**
Good.
**[15:11] ---**
I'm so glad you stood up and fought.
**[15:14] ---**
You fought fate and won.
**[15:17] ---**
Rika...
**[15:19] ---**
Now, I'll finally be free.
**[15:29] ---**
She probably thinks
she's found a nice happy ending.
**[15:33] ---**
But Oyashiro-*sama*'s curse
is only just beginning.
**[15:40] ---**
"Sunday, June 19th, 1983"
**[15:43] ---**
So Satoko-*chan* can come
celebrate Watanagashi with us?!
**[15:47] ---**
Yeah!
**[15:47] ---**
She told me over the phone she's looking
forward to "thoroughly enjoying" it!
**[15:51] ---**
Sounds like Satoko-*chan*, all right.
**[15:53] ---**
Hey, there they are!
**[15:56] ---**
Mii-*chan*, sorry we're late!
**[15:59] ---**
Ta-dah! Guess who's coming with you?
**[16:03] ---**
We're just missing those two now.
**[16:05] ---**
Rika-*chan* is going to pick Satoko up.
**[16:08] ---**
Then the gang will be back together again!
**[16:10] ---**
Uh-huh!
**[16:11] ---**
Tonight's gonna be so special,
I just know it!
**[16:23] ---**
My, you're finally awake?
**[16:30] ---**
My head's so heavy...
**[16:38] ---**
The hell is wrong...
**[16:45] ---**
Rika should be here very soon.
What terrible timing you have, Uncle.
**[16:50] ---**
I'm supposed to be a pitiful princess who
was just rescued from her horrible uncle.
**[16:56] ---**
And at the festival, everyone in
the village will worry about me,
**[16:59] ---**
support me, and fawn over me.
**[17:02] ---**
Satoko? You okay? Did somethin'
happen while I was passed out?
**[17:07] ---**
I thought the villagers were bullyin' ya.
**[17:13] ---**
Uncle.
**[17:14] ---**
Yeah?
**[17:17] ---**
What did you think of the time
we spent here together?
**[17:24] ---**
It was nice.
**[17:27] ---**
A shithead like me
barely deserved to feel...
**[17:31] ---**
...as happy as I did.
**[17:33] ---**
Well, I'm glad to hear it.
**[17:37] ---**
But that ends here.
**[17:43] ---**
S-Satoko?
**[17:46] ---**
It's time for you to die.
**[17:57] ---**
Huh?!
**[18:00] ---**
What the hell is happening?!
**[18:05] ---**
Uncle!
**[18:06] ---**
Run!
**[18:08] ---**
What? I'm certainly not going
to let him get away!
**[18:17] ---**
Please, Uncle,
**[18:19] ---**
y-you have to run!
**[18:21] ---**
S-Satoko?! What's happenin' to you?!
**[18:33] ---**
Don't be a fool!
**[18:56] ---**
Please, stop!
**[18:58] ---**
Have you lost your senses?!
**[19:00] ---**
I'm through with this!
I'm through with *all* of this!
**[19:03] ---**
I don't want to kill my Uncle!
I don't want to kill anyone else!
**[19:07] ---**
I don't want anyone else to die!
**[19:09] ---**
I am living through these endless loops
to ensure Satoko Hojo's happiness!
**[19:15] ---**
You're not me! You aren't *me* anymore!
**[19:18] ---**
Give me back! Give Satoko back to me!
**[19:21] ---**
Excuse me?
**[19:25] ---**
Whatever are you saying?
**[19:26] ---**
I am Satoko.
**[19:39] ---**
So what does that make you?
**[19:41] ---**
You claim to be Satoko, but you are merely
the leavings of an old fragment!
**[19:45] ---**
No, I'm not!
**[19:46] ---**
Yes, you certainly are.
Give me back to you?
**[19:50] ---**
I am Satoko Hojo!
**[19:53] ---**
It's high time you ceased to exist!
**[19:57] ---**
I don't know where I went wrong...
**[20:02] ---**
But I went wrong *somewhere*!
**[20:04] ---**
I love Rika!
**[20:06] ---**
I love Rika so much!
**[20:08] ---**
I want to be with Rika forever!
**[20:11] ---**
I just learned to be honest
about that love, that's all!
**[20:16] ---**
But I must've gone wrong somewhere.
**[20:19] ---**
So you *can't* be right!
**[20:27] ---**
From my perspective,
**[20:29] ---**
*you* went wrong when your outdated
emotions rejected this current reality.
**[20:36] ---**
I am Satoko Hojo.
**[20:38] ---**
I am one who lives in loops. One who
traverses the great sea of fragments.
**[20:44] ---**
Indeed, I am a *witch*.
**[20:58] ---**
Eua-*san*?
**[21:00] ---**
Your tale--
**[21:01] ---**
nay, your *shared* tale is so
unfathomably entertaining!
**[21:07] ---**
Lending you my power
was truly an apt decision!
**[21:14] ---**
You... You knew,
**[21:16] ---**
from the very beginning...
**[21:18] ---**
I will say, though you
happily received my power,
**[21:22] ---**
your manner of speaking
was somewhat unpleasant at times.
**[21:25] ---**
Even so, this has all been
*quite* amusing, Satoko.
**[21:35] ---**
If your current state brings you anguish,
**[21:38] ---**
then to reward you, I shall relieve you
of those emotions forevermore.
**[21:50] ---**
You are so truly entertaining!
**[21:58] ---**
I was so stupid.
**[22:01] ---**
My, I'm not stupid in the slightest.
**[22:15] ---**
Satoko...?
