[00:00] ---
    1983
[00:05] ---
    IN THE MOUNTAINS OF ORIGON VILLAGE,
    IN KITA WARD OF KOBE CITY
[02:05] ---
    1990
[02:07] ---
    Is Hitori in the bath?
[02:10] ---
    Yes, he finally went.
[02:13] ---
    Guess now is the time, then.
[02:16] ---
    Let's talk about you-know-what.
[02:20] ---
    The two of us will live as one
[02:23] ---
    in this home.
[02:25] ---
    We have to
[02:26] ---
    carry this through.
[02:28] ---
    Though, Dali…
[02:30] ---
    …that old couple
[02:32] ---
    may be stronger than we thought.
[02:35] ---
    To think they're
    washing their bodies with this.
[02:39] ---
    We just have to be on our guard, Migi.
[02:43] ---
    Does your skin get more layers every year?
[02:46] ---
    They're in their sixties,
    so that's 60 layers…
[02:49] ---
    That must be it.
[02:59] ---
    Hitori.
[03:03] ---
    Are you enjoying the bath?
[03:08] ---
    Oh my.
[03:10] ---
    You're using it so well.
[03:14] ---
    I'll put a pair of pajamas and a towel, okay?
[03:17] ---
    Okay.
[03:21] ---
    Huh?
[03:25] ---
    There are two sets of clothes.
[03:32] ---
    Guess he put out two days' worth.
[03:37] ---
    That was close.
[03:39] ---
    She almost found out there are two of us.
[03:43] ---
    Hey. She mentioned pajamas…
[03:50] ---
    Just wait for your turn tomorrow, Dali.
[03:54] ---
    Huh?
[03:55] ---
    You want a reason to wear pajamas?
[03:57] ---
    Yes.
[03:58] ---
    I didn't wear any at the orphanage.
[04:01] ---
    Well,
[04:03] ---
    maybe because pajamas
[04:04] ---
    are something you wear
    when you sleep in your own home.
[04:08] ---
    Your home?
[04:09] ---
    That's right.
[04:11] ---
    This place is your home now, Hitori.
[04:13] ---
    And we are a family.
[04:19] ---
    Okay, all set.
[04:21] ---
    Your hair is so pretty, Hitori.
[04:25] ---
    I hate this hair.
[04:27] ---
    Why?
[04:29] ---
    At the orphanage
[04:30] ---
    everyone said my hair was weird.
[04:37] ---
    Hitori.
[04:38] ---
    Being different from others
    is a beautiful thing.
[04:42] ---
    Sardine's name is pretty too.
[04:45] ---
    Right, Sardine?
[04:47] ---
    See?
[04:49] ---
    Besides,
[04:50] ---
    if your hair is weird
[04:53] ---
    then aren't I
[04:54] ---
    the oddest of all?
[04:59] ---
    Then that means
[05:00] ---
    I'm the oddestest!
[05:02] ---
    The oddestest?
[05:03] ---
    The oddestestest.
[05:05] ---
    The oddestestest!
[05:09] ---
    You really looked like
    a parent and child, Migi.
[05:13] ---
    Stop saying eerie stuff, Dali.
[05:15] ---
    We need this to be a base, you know.
[05:17] ---
    Somewhere to investigate
    the people of this village.
[05:20] ---
    We need to move to the next step.
[05:23] ---
    Yes. Let's head outside.
[05:31] ---
    Hitori.
[05:34] ---
    Do you have a second?
[05:36] ---
    Mom and Dad are going out for a bit.
[05:39] ---
    We have an errand to run.
[05:43] ---
    Really?
[05:45] ---
    Can I come?
[05:46] ---
    Oh, well, uhm…
[05:49] ---
    But Sardine!
[05:51] ---
    Sardine will be lonely if you go.
[05:54] ---
    So Hitori,
[05:56] ---
    can you stay home alone for a little?
[05:59] ---
    Okay.
[06:01] ---
    We'll get going, then.
[06:06] ---
    That was suspicious.
[06:09] ---
    I think they're hiding something from us.
[06:13] ---
    OUR ROOM
[06:14] ---
    In that case…
[06:21] ---
    This is…
[06:22] ---
    …their bedroom.
[06:33] ---
    Migi.
[06:44] ---
    I found something strange.
[06:47] ---
    What is it?
[06:47] ---
    A triangle with three strings.
[06:51] ---
    I think I know, Dali.
[06:57] ---
    Let's do it.
[07:06] ---
    I guess inside the house won't work.
[07:09] ---
    Pffh.
[07:15] ---
    What's with this beast!
[07:17] ---
    Migi.
[07:17] ---
    It wants the cloth.
[07:27] ---
    That pesky animal.
[07:29] ---
    Let's continue.
[07:30] ---
    That room is next.
[07:33] ---
    This must be the old man's room.
[07:38] ---
    INTIMATE WRITINGS
[07:39] ---
    Knocking on my heart,
    little fists, a work of art,
    pummeling my shoulder.
[07:48] ---
    Pain stakes its own claim,
    Yet cannot defame
    A ride on my shoulder
[07:54] ---
    The epitome of glee
    Striped pajamas
    Hitori
[07:58] ---
    Musty and stale,
[07:59] ---
    a back so very frail,
[08:01] ---
    absolute fail.
[08:05] ---
    We haven't really
[08:07] ---
    found anything.
[08:12] ---
    Maybe
[08:14] ---
    this old couple has no secrets.
[08:19] ---
    There's something underneath the picture.
[08:22] ---
    What is it?
[08:27] ---
    I knew it. These two…
[08:29] ---
    are hiding things.
[08:37] ---
    This is the old man.
[08:39] ---
    And this beautiful woman…
[08:43] ---
    It's definitely not the old lady.
[08:46] ---
    Dali. This is…
[08:48] ---
    She must be his lover.
[08:51] ---
    What did you make that face for?
[08:53] ---
    Everyone…
[08:55] ---
    …has secrets.
[08:59] ---
    This is the last room on this floor.
[09:05] ---
    It looks like…
[09:07] ---
    …a closet.
[09:09] ---
    That's why they smell musty.
[09:16] ---
    Dali, wait.
[09:18] ---
    What? Are you scared, Migi?
[09:20] ---
    Of course not.
[09:22] ---
    But that getup of yours…
[09:24] ---
    It's to mask the stench of the clothes.
[09:34] ---
    What is this little room?
[09:37] ---
    Something feels off.
[09:39] ---
    Dali…
[09:40] ---
    There's no air in here.
[09:44] ---
    I need fresh air.
[09:49] ---
    It's human hair.
[09:52] ---
    Why is there human hair in here?
[09:55] ---
    The old lady is always stroking my hair.
[09:57] ---
    Do you think it has
    something to do with this?
[10:07] ---
    Stop it!
[10:09] ---
    Beast! Let him go!
[10:10] ---
    Not letting go, huh?
[10:14] ---
    That was a car.
[10:15] ---
    They're back.
[10:17] ---
    Do you think…
[10:18] ---
    it was trying to tell us?
[10:21] ---
    Do you…
[10:22] ---
    want to serve us?
[10:30] ---
    Hurry up, Darling,
[10:31] ---
    before he sees us.
[10:33] ---
    I know, I know.
[10:38] ---
    That's suspicious.
[10:53] ---
    We have to
[10:54] ---
    make sure he doesn't
    find out about the welcome party.
[10:58] ---
    A welcome party?
[10:59] ---
    Yes.
[11:00] ---
    He has to cover his eyes
[11:01] ---
    at three o'clock tomorrow.
[11:03] ---
    When I bring this out in front of him
[11:07] ---
    he'll be so surprised.
[11:09] ---
    Makes me want to boogie-woogie.
[11:24] ---
    They'll use that machine
[11:25] ---
    to shave our hair off.
[11:27] ---
    To make wigs…
[11:29] ---
    Hitori's welcome party is actually
[11:31] ---
    a ceremonial scalping.
[11:33] ---
    What a hobby.
[11:35] ---
    I never would've guessed
[11:37] ---
    our hair was what they wanted.
[11:42] ---
    We cannot
[11:44] ---
    allow this to happen.
[11:46] ---
    We have to retaliate.
[11:50] ---
    We will not
[11:51] ---
    be scalped without a fight.
[11:54] ---
    Hitori,
[11:55] ---
    the welcome party is about to start.
[11:57] ---
    Are you ready?
[11:59] ---
    Yes, Dad.
[12:01] ---
    Dear, the guests will be here soon.
[12:04] ---
    I can't decide what dress to wear.
[12:06] ---
    This is my favorite, but…
[12:07] ---
    it makes me look fat.
[12:10] ---
    It looks great on you.
[12:12] ---
    Come on,
[12:14] ---
    take this seriously.
[12:16] ---
    Oh, I'm at a loss then.
[12:18] ---
    Black clothes would be great.
[12:20] ---
    Both Dad and Mom.
[12:23] ---
    Hitori.
[12:24] ---
    Black, you say?
[12:25] ---
    Won't it look like
    we're going to a funeral?
[12:28] ---
    But if you both wear black,
[12:31] ---
    the whole family will be matching.
[12:38] ---
    Okay, that's good.
[12:40] ---
    That'll teach them…
[12:42] ---
    …what happens if you try to deceive us.
[12:47] ---
    Cheers!
[12:49] ---
    Cheers!
[12:52] ---
    Let us introduce
[12:54] ---
    our son, Hitori Sonoyama.
[12:57] ---
    I'm Hitori.
[12:58] ---
    It's nice to meet you.
[13:00] ---
    Do your best, Dali.
[13:03] ---
    I'm counting on you, Migi.
[13:07] ---
    This is the Ichijo family.
[13:09] ---
    Hello, I'm Reiko Ichijo.
[13:12] ---
    How old are you, Hitori?
[13:14] ---
    I'll be 13 this year.
[13:16] ---
    Oh my.
[13:17] ---
    You're the same age as my Eiji.
[13:21] ---
    I'm Eiji.
[13:22] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[13:23] ---
    You too.
[13:24] ---
    This is my little sister, Karen.
[13:27] ---
    Hello.
[13:29] ---
    Where do you go to school?
[13:31] ---
    We're still not sure.
[13:33] ---
    Enrolling him at this time
    of year is so bothersome.
[13:37] ---
    In that case
[13:38] ---
    until he enrolls,
[13:40] ---
    you should make him a boy scout.
[13:42] ---
    Oh, Mrs. Tsutsumi.
[13:43] ---
    It's fun to be a scout,
[13:46] ---
    isn't it Maruta?
[13:47] ---
    Flag signaling is awesome.
[13:49] ---
    Putting up tents,
[13:51] ---
    making curry,
[13:52] ---
    tying ropes and flag signaling.
[13:54] ---
    Making fires and picking up trash.
[13:56] ---
    Also, flag signaling is awesome.
[14:01] ---
    U
[14:02] ---
    R
[14:03] ---
    O
[14:04] ---
    D
[14:05] ---
    D
[14:06] ---
    You're so good at it.
[14:09] ---
    What did it mean?
[14:11] ---
    It means 'nice to meet you.'
[14:14] ---
    What's your problem?
[14:16] ---
    Here, candy.
[14:18] ---
    My folks told me to give it to you.
[14:20] ---
    Oh, thanks.
[14:22] ---
    Who're you?
[14:23] ---
    Akiyama.
[14:25] ---
    Do you like birds?
[14:27] ---
    Huh?
[14:28] ---
    I saw the bird house in your yard.
[14:30] ---
    Oh!
[14:32] ---
    Part of my name means 'bird'.
[14:34] ---
    Though I can't fly.
[14:38] ---
    I see.
[14:39] ---
    I would've never guessed.
[14:41] ---
    You went to the orphanage
[14:43] ---
    just two months ago, right?
[14:45] ---
    The procedure went so quickly.
[14:48] ---
    You know, Origon Village
    makes a difference.
[14:52] ---
    It's kind of a special area.
[14:54] ---
    They did everything fast for us.
[14:56] ---
    Right, it's so…
[14:57] ---
    Now, Migi.
[15:00] ---
    Okay, Dali.
[15:08] ---
    Shit!
[15:10] ---
    This red wine is super spicy!
[15:12] ---
    Water! Water!
[15:13] ---
    Mom, are you okay?
[15:15] ---
    Here, water.
[15:16] ---
    Thanks.
[15:19] ---
    It's still spicy!
[15:21] ---
    Here, water.
[15:23] ---
    It's still spicy!
[15:25] ---
    Here, water.
[15:28] ---
    Actually, that isn't water.
[15:30] ---
    It's clear liquor.
[15:38] ---
    I won't go easy on you.
[15:42] ---
    Next, right hand on blue.
[15:44] ---
    Dad, come here.
[15:48] ---
    You look great, Dad.
[15:50] ---
    I do?
[15:52] ---
    We used olive oil.
[15:55] ---
    We finished preparing for them to burn.
[15:58] ---
    Now, at three…
[16:00] ---
    When the ceremony starts,
[16:01] ---
    we'll pass the 30 degree heat
    from the western window through this…
[16:06] ---
    When it hits those two,
    the oil and alcohol will do its job.
[16:11] ---
    Everyone will tremble.
[16:14] ---
    It's spontaneous combustion.
[16:16] ---
    They'll think it's God's punishment.
[16:19] ---
    Alright,
[16:20] ---
    who of us will be the decoy?
[16:23] ---
    -Let me do it, Dali.
    -Migi?
[16:26] ---
    I want to experience it up close.
[16:28] ---
    The moment when
    their sheep's clothing burns.
[16:33] ---
    Migi.
[16:34] ---
    I'll be as determined as you.
[16:36] ---
    I'll make sure the sun passes…
[16:38] ---
    That guy…
[16:40] ---
    Eiji Ichijo, was it?
[16:43] ---
    Sorry.
[16:44] ---
    I was looking for the restroom,
[16:46] ---
    but I got lost.
[16:48] ---
    The bathroom's downstairs.
[16:50] ---
    Thanks.
[17:01] ---
    What is it?
[17:02] ---
    Ah, no.
[17:04] ---
    Your hair is pretty.
[17:06] ---
    See you.
[17:11] ---
    He's creepy.
[17:16] ---
    Everyone,
[17:17] ---
    could you make some room please?
[17:20] ---
    Time for a bingo tournament?
[17:21] ---
    No, cheek-to-cheek dancing!
[17:23] ---
    Please humor us for a moment.
[17:26] ---
    Park it, Hitori.
[17:29] ---
    Okay, Mom.
[17:33] ---
    What is this?
[17:35] ---
    I wonder!
[17:38] ---
    It's time.
[17:39] ---
    The placement of the sun… okay.
[17:43] ---
    Oh no!
[17:45] ---
    Migi. The-plan-is-can-cel-led!
[17:49] ---
    Oh Sun, make it burn!
[17:53] ---
    Burn off the mask
    that they wear to hide their lies!
[17:59] ---
    Hitori.
[18:00] ---
    Take off the blindfold.
[18:02] ---
    Huh?
[18:08] ---
    That's weird…
[18:10] ---
    They're not on fire.
[18:13] ---
    Why?
[18:14] ---
    No way…
[18:16] ---
    Did the plan fail?
[18:19] ---
    Hitori.
[18:21] ---
    Take it off.
[18:28] ---
    It can't be…
[18:31] ---
    Damn you…
[18:35] ---
    A gift from Mom and Dad
[18:36] ---
    to our precious son!
[18:39] ---
    Thank you for coming to us.
[18:44] ---
    -Congrats!
    -Welcome!
[18:48] ---
    Oh…
[18:50] ---
    Huh?
[18:51] ---
    Hitori, are you…
[18:53] ---
    not happy?
[19:06] ---
    Oh, Hitori.
[19:09] ---
    You're so happy about it.
[19:11] ---
    It's a success, my dear.
[19:13] ---
    Oh, Darling.
[19:27] ---
    Hey.
[19:28] ---
    Don't be so mad, Migi.
[19:31] ---
    It was only a tiny fire.
[19:34] ---
    I mean,
[19:35] ---
    You froze like a dimwit.
[19:37] ---
    You'd spoil the act.
[19:41] ---
    Here, as good as new.
[19:47] ---
    I didn't think it'd actually
    be a welcome party for Hitori.
[19:54] ---
    Can you believe it?
[19:57] ---
    That beautiful woman was the old lady.
[20:00] ---
    The human body is a mystery.
[20:03] ---
    And those…
[20:05] ---
    were synthetic wigs.
[20:08] ---
    It seems like there are still
[20:10] ---
    many things we don't know.
[20:13] ---
    Mmh…
[20:14] ---
    I…
[20:16] ---
    …had no idea.
[20:18] ---
    What it feels like to be a family…
[20:27] ---
    Dali?
[20:29] ---
    Let's go, Migi.
[20:31] ---
    Dali?
[20:32] ---
    Where to?
[20:34] ---
    You know where.
[20:37] ---
    To see our mother.
[22:16] ---
    Seven years ago
[22:18] ---
    I am certain that
[22:20] ---
    our mother and we
[22:22] ---
    lived in Origon Village.
[22:47] ---
    And our mother
[22:50] ---
    died in Origon Village.
[23:03] ---
    We didn't understand back then.
[23:07] ---
    But now we do.
[23:09] ---
    Our mother…
[23:11] ---
    …was murdered by
    someone in Origon Village.
[23:13] ---
    The reason we came here as adoptees
[23:16] ---
    was to find the murderer.
[23:20] ---
    And now…
[23:21] ---
    You know, don't you?
[23:23] ---
    No need to lecture me, Dali.
[23:27] ---
    We'll kill them.
[23:29] ---
    The two of us as
[23:30] ---
    one new person.
