    Y-You missed.
[00:20] ---
    N-No... How could I miss at this distance?!
[00:29] ---
    --Stop!
    --Stop resisting!
[00:31] ---
    No! Don't step on it! Don't you dare!
[00:34] ---
    Major Takano...
[00:37] ---
    ...you're under arrest.
[00:39] ---
    So you're going to blame me
    for all of this, huh?
[00:57] ---
    On your feet!
    Place your hands behind your back!
[01:00] ---
    No! No! Please, let me go!
[01:03] ---
    I need my grandfather's
    scrapbook! I need it!
[01:06] ---
    Hey! Stop resisting!
[01:08] ---
    No! Please!
[01:10] ---
    Freeze!
[01:12] ---
    Stop!
[01:14] ---
    I'm First Lieutenant Tomitake
    from the research division.
[01:16] ---
    I'll take her from here.
[01:17] ---
    B-But, sir, HQ has ordered us
    to take her back to Tokyo immediately.
[01:22] ---
    Have you not seen the state she's in?!
[01:25] ---
    She's obviously been
    scratching herself all over!
[01:28] ---
    She's displaying symptoms symbolic of
    the final stages of Hinamizawa Syndrome!
[01:35] ---
    B-But, sir, Major Takano should be
    protected by the preventative serum!
[01:39] ---
    She couldn't have contracted the syndrome!
[01:41] ---
    Did you read the documentation?!
[01:44] ---
    The preventative serum
    isn't 100% effective!
[01:50] ---
    We won't be able to interrogate her
    unless she receives treatment ASAP!
[01:56] ---
    We must determine if she was of sound health
    when she made these decisions
[02:00] ---
    or if someone took advantage of
    the delusional state caused by the Syndrome!
[02:03] ---
    But to do that, she must get
    medical treatment first! It's only right!
[02:09] ---
    Jiro-san...
[02:11] ---
    Take her to the Irie Clinic, on the double!
[02:14] ---
    And call Lieutenant Colonel Irie
    to have him prepare to treat her Syndrome!
[02:29] ---
    Jiro-san! Jiro-san!
[02:36] ---
    Sorry I'm late. I came for you.
[02:42] ---
    You're not the villain you think you are.
[02:46] ---
    You can start over again.
[02:48] ---
    Live a new life as your real self.
[02:51] ---
    As Miyoko Tanashi.
[02:58] ---
    I can't, I can't! I've committed too many sins!
[03:05] ---
    I can't start over! It's not right!
[03:08] ---
    Else, the weight of my sins will crush me...
[03:11] ---
    It's okay. I'll be there with you.
[03:15] ---
    We'll atone for Miyo Takano's sins, together.
[03:20] ---
    Do I have a right to live?
[03:23] ---
    Do you think someone like me
    should be allowed to live on?
[03:27] ---
    The world may never forgive you
    for what you've done,
[03:31] ---
    but that doesn't matter.
[03:33] ---
    I forgive you.
[03:35] ---
    So live on, atone for your sins,
    and start anew!
[03:47] ---
    This miracle is more than enough for me.
[03:51] ---
    You've suffered so much to get here.
[03:54] ---
    I can't imagine this is nearly enough
    to make up for that.
[04:00] ---
    Hey, isn't it almost time
    for the festival to start?
[04:03] ---
    Yeah! I can't wait!
[04:05] ---
    And we've gotta make sure our
    favorite rookie gets lots of action.
[04:12] ---
    I'm sure you'll face many, many
    penalties! Poor, poor Hanyuu!
[04:17] ---
    I won't be just watching this time!
[04:20] ---
    That's right. You won't be watching
    the festival; you'll be a part of it.
[04:26] ---
    From here on out, no matter what happens...
[04:28] ---
    We'll always be together, right?
[04:31] ---
    Of course we will!
[05:01] ---
    Stifling air quietly shaking me
[05:04] ---
    Suggestive silence
[05:08] ---
    The distortions in the light
    growing more twisted
[05:11] ---
    Logic lost to me now
[05:15] ---
    I believe what you said
[05:18] ---
    A place I long to return to
[05:22] ---
    Distinct scenery
[05:25] ---
    She sneered as she declared she wanted it all
[05:30] ---
    I've always felt your joy
[05:33] ---
    I've always felt your tears
[05:38] ---
    No one was closer to you,
    now those memories haunt me
[05:44] ---
    The one and only answer
[05:47] ---
    The door I was searching for
[05:51] ---
    Slowly opened just now,
    and revealed to me
[05:58] ---
    Something engulfed in the bright light
[06:06] ---
    The true nature of everything
[06:07] ---
    "Higurashi: When They Cry GOU"
    The true nature of everything

[06:24] ---
    Rika! If you don't hurry,
    we'll have to run all the way to school!
[06:29] ---
    Coming!
[06:34] ---
    Sorry to make you wait!
[06:39] ---
    I'm still not used to wearing these
    hand-me-down uniforms from Mion-san.
[06:47] ---
    My, my, how slovenly!
    You're quite the sleepyhead, aren't you, Rika?
[06:52] ---
    Yeah, I'm still sleepy.
[06:54] ---
    You sure have had a lot of long nights
    as of late. Whatever are you doing?
[07:00] ---
    I'm sure you'll laugh when I tell you.
    So I can't tell you just yet.
[07:04] ---
    My, it's a secret not even I can know?
[07:06] ---
    Don't worry! I'll tell you one day.
[07:11] ---
    Good morning, class.
[07:14] ---
    Class rep, will you start us off?
[07:16] ---
    Please stand!
[07:23] ---
    Whoa! You've gotten better
    at cooking again, haven'tcha, Rena?
[07:27] ---
    Those sides are practically
    sparkling with flavor!
[07:30] ---
    Y-You really think so? Really?
[07:33] ---
    Fried chicken, fried shrimp,
    they all look so good!
[07:36] ---
    But that hamburg steak looks
    the most scrumptious of--
[07:39] ---
    What?!
[07:42] ---
    You mustn't let your guard down
    around me, Keiichi-san!
[07:45] ---
    Satoko, you little brat!
[07:47] ---
    Don't you know to respect
    your elders by now-- Hey!
[07:50] ---
    Did I not just tell you not to
    let your guard down? How truly pathetic.
[07:56] ---
    Dammit!
[07:57] ---
    Okay, stay calm, Keiichi Maebara.
[08:00] ---
    You don't need to hurry. There's enough
    food here to fill everyone's belly!
[08:07] ---
    Yeah, I guess you're right, Rika-chan.
[08:12] ---
    What a disappointing exchange.
[08:14] ---
    You've grown quite dull ever since
    assuming your position as class rep.
[08:17] ---
    I'm still not used to Keiichi
    being our class rep.
[08:23] ---
    Yeah. It was Mii-chan for the longest time!
[08:27] ---
    Speaking of Mion, we haven't seen her
    very much since she graduated.
[08:32] ---
    Well, her high school is just a hop,
    skip, and a jump away in Okinomiya!
[08:37] ---
    If you want to see her,
    you can visit her any time you'd like!
[08:39] ---
    Yeah, I thought about visiting,
[08:42] ---
    but Mion being Mion,
    she went and started a Game Club at school,
[08:47] ---
    and that's been keeping her pretty busy.
[08:54] ---
    Inevitable, but still unfortunate.
[08:59] ---
    Our little village school
    is kinda different, huh?
[09:03] ---
    At a normal school,
    you'd get separated by grade and class,
[09:08] ---
    so your relationships with classmates
    would change or even fade over time.
[09:13] ---
    Yeah.
[09:15] ---
    But I'm sure Mii-chan
    hasn't forgotten about us!
[09:19] ---
    Why would she?
[09:21] ---
    The bonds we forged in our club activities
    are far stronger than that!
[09:26] ---
    And it's bigger than us now.
[09:28] ---
    It's up to us to make sure that the club
    Mion started continues to live on.
[09:37] ---
    Yeah.
[09:40] ---
    On that note...
[09:41] ---
    As President of this illustrious club,
[09:44] ---
    I call upon our daring
    combatants to assemble!
[09:46] ---
    --Yes, sir!
    --Yes, sir!
[09:48] ---
    Is it just you two today?
[09:51] ---
    Umm, is it okay if we play, too?
[09:55] ---
    Yeah! Of course!
[09:57] ---
    That still makes for
    a smaller group than usual.
[10:00] ---
    Probably because Watanagashi is coming up.
[10:02] ---
    A lot of us have to go home and watch
    the house while our parents help prep.
[10:08] ---
    Got it! Okay, then.
[10:12] ---
    Goodness, Keiichi-san!
    What in the world are these?!
[10:15] ---
    Uh, cards for Concentration?
[10:18] ---
    I figured an easier game would
    be better for our younger players.
[10:21] ---
    That was not what I meant!
    Those cards are brand-new!
[10:27] ---
    Yeah, so?
[10:28] ---
    They don't have any nicks on them!
    How can we tell which card is which?!
[10:33] ---
    C'mon, Satoko.
[10:34] ---
    There's no point in playing
    if you're going to play dirty!
[10:37] ---
    New Rule ♪2! No Playing Dirty!
[10:42] ---
    Stop petting me!
[10:45] ---
    What, you don't think you can win
    without your traps, Satoko? Is that it?
[10:50] ---
    Please! I'm no fool!
[10:52] ---
    I'll show you how my stellar memory
    has grown and matured!
[10:59] ---
    Where's the other six...?
[11:02] ---
    You can do it, Satoko-chan!
[11:04] ---
    Okamura flipped it over just now!
[11:08] ---
    It's over here!
[11:15] ---
    Tomita-kun wins!
[11:16] ---
    I was just lucky is all!
[11:18] ---
    And our loser today is...
[11:20] ---
    Poor, poor Satoko!
    You couldn't even get a single pair!
[11:24] ---
    This cannot be happening!
    There must be some mistake!
[11:29] ---
    Okay, next up is--
[11:32] ---
    Sorry, everyone.
[11:35] ---
    I need to go home now.
[11:37] ---
    Huh?
[11:38] ---
    Oh, that's right. You have to practice
    for your offertory dance, right?
[11:41] ---
    That's right. I gotta go swing
    a big hoe around like "hi-ya"!
[11:46] ---
    See you all later!
[11:49] ---
    Man. That sucks, but have fun.
[11:54] ---
    You could've stayed and played, Satoko.
[11:58] ---
    Why'd you lie to them?
    I know you don't have practice today.
[12:05] ---
    I understand why you wanted to leave.
    Today's activities were simply lacking.
[12:12] ---
    You know me too well, Satoko.
[12:16] ---
    You're right. The game today
    was a little too wholesome for us.
[12:21] ---
    Playing against you has stained
    my pure soul as dark black as yours!
[12:31] ---
    That's the Rika I know and love!
[12:33] ---
    Everyone adores Keiichi and Rena.
[12:39] ---
    So it only makes sense that club
    would change with them at the helm.
[12:44] ---
    I think it's a good thing that
    more members of our class are joining us.
[12:50] ---
    However...
[12:53] ---
    Forbidding traps altogether?
    That simply won't do!
[12:57] ---
    Without a stage to perform upon,
    my trapmaking skills will surely atrophy!
[13:01] ---
    Then maybe you should hone those skills
    by unleashing them on Keiichi!
[13:05] ---
    Excellent idea!
[13:06] ---
    I'll drop a rain of washbasins upon him!
[13:10] ---
    Poor, poor Keiichi! He'll be squashed flat!
[13:18] ---
    Hinamizawa has changed so much
    in the past year--as have we.
[13:24] ---
    I think that's a good thing.
[13:27] ---
    I know. It's just a bit sad to see it change.
[13:44] ---
    "Irie Clinic"
    This isn't good. In fact, it's quite alarming.
[13:48] ---
    Huh?
[13:49] ---
    What's alarming?
[13:51] ---
    Why, your uniform!
[13:53] ---
    I was of the opinion that a maid outfit
    would be a much better fit for you,
[13:57] ---
    not only for its design,
    but for practicality, too!
[14:00] ---
    But Sonozaki-san just couldn't understand
    where I was coming from...
[14:04] ---
    Thank goodness she didn't.
[14:07] ---
    Irie, I believe we're here
    for Satoko's checkup.
[14:11] ---
    Right, my apologies.
[14:14] ---
    As you know, over the past year,
[14:17] ---
    Satoko's Hinamizawa Syndrome
    has drastically improved.
[14:23] ---
    Thanks in no small part to
    your continued residency in Hinamizawa.
[14:28] ---
    I've even gone from
    three shots a day to only one.
[14:34] ---
    You won't be needing those shots anymore.
[14:37] ---
    --Huh?
    --You mean...
[14:40] ---
    Your test came back negative.
[14:42] ---
    I couldn't believe it myself at first.
[14:46] ---
    But every test came back with the same result.
[14:51] ---
    To put it short,
[14:53] ---
    your Hinamizawa Syndrome
    has been completely cured.
[14:56] ---
    Is that true? I'm not sick
    with that disease anymore?
[15:01] ---
    We'll do another test, just to be sure,
[15:06] ---
    but I believe so, yes.
[15:08] ---
    I can't believe it.
[15:17] ---
    Rika-san?
[15:19] ---
    I've got the test results back.
    Everything looks good.
[15:22] ---
    A while back, you said once someone's
    syndrome progressed to a certain level,
[15:27] ---
    while their symptoms could be suppressed,
    they couldn't be cured.
[15:33] ---
    I did, yes.
[15:34] ---
    It could be that the root cause of
    the syndrome has changed somehow.
[15:41] ---
    I've actually seen similar improvements
    in every person in the village.
[15:46] ---
    And it all started about one year ago.
[15:48] ---
    One year ago?
[15:50] ---
    Do you know of anything
    that might have happened?
[15:54] ---
    I have no idea.
[16:03] ---
    A certain someone who distrusted
    humans for a thousand years
[16:07] ---
    finally opened up, that's all.
[16:15] ---
    We sure don't have many opportunities
    for us three Heads to meet anymore.
[16:22] ---
    People'd be worryin'
    if they knew we were meetin'.
[16:27] ---
    Then I suppose it's a good thing
    it's just the three of us here.
[16:32] ---
    Right then, little miss Rika.
    What was it you wanted to discuss?
[16:35] ---
    I want to ask you to do something for me.
[16:39] ---
    C'mon, out with it.
[16:42] ---
    When we attend the Watanagashi festival...
[16:48] ---
    I see where you're coming from.
[16:51] ---
    I'll do it.
[16:54] ---
    It's something that needs to be done.
[16:58] ---
    Not just for us old folk, but for
    the young folks, too. They're our future.
[17:05] ---
    You two go right ahead.
[17:08] ---
    It won't work if it's just me and Kimiyoshi.
[17:11] ---
    We need you to help, too, Oryo.
[17:14] ---
    Oryo-san?
[17:16] ---
    I'll say it again. You two go right ahead.
[17:26] ---
    "Sunday, June 17th, 1984"
[18:05] ---
    Wanna head down to the river?
[18:07] ---
    Yeah.
[18:11] ---
    The Mayor?
[18:13] ---
    Oh my goodness, and Oryo-san?!
[18:18] ---
    Why're the heads of
    the Three Families up there?
[18:20] ---
    --No idea...
    --What's going on?
[18:22] ---
    Could I have your attention?
[18:25] ---
    This won't take long, I promise.
[18:28] ---
    I'll start.
[18:30] ---
    As you know, a few years ago,
    our village rallied through a war.
[18:35] ---
    That's right, the Dam War.
[18:39] ---
    And we won that war!
[18:41] ---
    But the scars from that war
    still run deep in our village.
[18:49] ---
    Despite the war being long over!
[18:54] ---
    It pained Oyashiro-sama to see those scars.
[18:59] ---
    Unless we change, those scars will leave
    an irreversible stain on our village.
[19:04] ---
    And us old folk don't want
    to see that happen.
[19:07] ---
    Oryo-san agrees with me, too.
[19:12] ---
    Oryo-san does, too?
[19:14] ---
    With all that in mind, I hereby declare
    that as of now, the dam war is over,
[19:18] ---
    and all ties any person or group may have
    to said war are hereby expunged!
[19:26] ---
    I'm sure you've all heard stories
    about Oyashiro-sama's curse.
[19:31] ---
    How He curses those
    who trespass on His Hinamizawa,
[19:35] ---
    and those who choose to leave the village.
[19:38] ---
    But those stories aren't true.
[19:41] ---
    Oyashiro-sama watched over
    our village for a long, long time,
[19:44] ---
    and now, He's happy with us,
    and has gone back to sleep.
[19:51] ---
    Little miss Rika speaks Oyashiro-sama's word.
[19:56] ---
    This curse business ain't nothin' but poppycock!
[20:03] ---
    There is no curse.
[20:07] ---
    Straight from the Priestess...
[20:09] ---
    Then it must be true.
[20:15] ---
    Now a new wind can lift
    the sails of this here village.
[20:42] ---
    Satoko?
[20:43] ---
    What is it, all of the sudden?
[20:45] ---
    I have a favor to ask you.
[20:47] ---
    Will you come shopping with me?
[20:51] ---
    And here I thought you needed a favor.
    Shopping with you is hardly a favor!
[20:56] ---
    Are you heading to the Sevens Mart, then?
[20:58] ---
    Not this time.
[21:00] ---
    I'm going into Okinomiya today.
[21:03] ---
    Why? Did you find
    a supermarket with good sales?

[21:39] ---
    Rika? Whatever could you need in this section?
[21:46] ---
    Huh?
[21:47] ---
    What is this?
[21:48] ---
    There's something I've secretly dreamed
    of doing for a long, long time.
