[00:01] REIKA
    You forgot something?
[00:04] KASEN
    My goodness.
[00:06] KASEN
    Reika-chan, you go on ahead.
[00:08] KASEN
    I don't want to make you wait.
[00:13] KUBO
    The mother did?
[00:17] DRIVER
    She left the daughter
    on the way to the station.
[00:20] DRIVER
    He wants to know which one he should follow.
[00:22] KUBO
    The daughter.
[00:23] DRIVER
    Follow the daughter, right.
[00:26] DRIVER
    If anything happens...
[00:29] TETSUO/I
    Holy moly, you startled me!
[00:32] TETSUO
    A-Are you a friend of Ms. Tosu?
[00:36] TETSUO
    Ms. Tosu went out a while ago.
[00:39] TETSUO
    So I'm the only one here.
[00:42] TETSUO
    Oh, my name is Suzuki.
    I'm from a house cleaning service.
[00:47] TETSUO
    Um...?
[00:50] KYOICHI
    Oh, I'm her friend.
[00:53] KYOICHI
    I have her spare key.
[00:55] KYOICHI
    I'm sorry to have startled you.
[00:57] TETSUO
    Oh, it's fine.
[00:58] KUBO/I
    Kyoichi, Nobuto isn't picking up his phone.
[01:01] KUBO/I
    See if you can find it there.
[01:03] KYOICHI
    Actually, my friend left his
    phone here, so I came to look for it.
[01:10] KYOICHI
    Can I try calling it?
[01:12] TETSUO
    Oh yes, of course.
[01:14] KYOICHI
    Excuse me.
[01:29] ANNOUNCEMENT/I
    The number you have dialed is
    outside of the coverage area—
SIGN    Episode 2: "Cutting the Cake"
[03:07] KUBO
    Dammit!
[03:09] KUBO
    Where the fuck did Nobuto go?
[03:12] KUBO
    Kyoichi, you continue to watch the daughter.
[03:14] KUBO
    Worst case scenario, we'll abduct her.
[03:16] KYOICHI
    Understood.
[03:21] TETSUO
    Thank God I destroyed it.
[03:24] TETSUO
    The GPS must be dead too, right?
[03:30] TETSUO
    I'm just getting started. I can do this.
[03:42] KASEN
    Tetsuo-san, I got what you asked for.
[03:46] TETSUO
    Hi, honey.
[03:48] TETSUO
    Welcome back.
[03:51] TETSUO
    Where's Reika?
[03:55] KASEN
    I sent her home alone.
[03:58] KASEN
    Anyhow, I bought everything
    you listed in your message.
[04:03] [Messenger] SIGN
    Tetsuo-san
[04:03] [Messenger] SIGN
    Honey, you walk Reika to the station and
    say something like "I will go help your dad."
    Then go get the following items at a
    hardware store.
[04:04] KASEN
    I wasn't sure if I could find a copper plate.
[04:08] TETSUO
    Thank you.
[04:09] TETSUO
    And the suitcase is perfect.
[04:09] [Messenger] SIGN
    A large suitcase
    IH cooking heater
    A copper plate (over 30 x 50cm)
    Tin foil (over 100m)
    Aluminum tape (over 100m)
     Plastic bags (60L)
    Air freshener
[04:12] KASEN
    What are you going to do?
[04:15] TETSUO
    I'll turn the bathtub into a pot
    and cook the body in it.
[04:20] TETSUO
    I'll attach the copper plate to
    the IH heater using aluminum tape.
[04:23] TETSUO
    Then fill the tub with hot water
[04:26] TETSUO
    and insert the copper plate in the hot water
    so the IH heater itself won't get wet.
[04:32] TETSUO
    When you cook meat, the water in it
    evaporates and it gets smaller, right?
[04:36] TETSUO
    So I'll simmer and simmer the body
    to make it as small as possible.
[04:40] KASEN
    What can I do to help?
[04:45] TETSUO
    You go on home.
[04:47] KASEN
    But...
[04:49] TETSUO
    Make Reika a nice hot meal. Please?
[04:56] TETSUO/I
    The tub is made of fiber-reinforced plastic,
[04:59] TETSUO/I
    so prolonged exposure to
    boiling water will warp it.
[05:03] TETSUO/I
    So first...
[05:05] TETSUO/I
    I will make heat insulators by wrapping
    multiple layers of cardboard sheets in tin foil.
[05:12] TETSUO/I
    And then...
[05:19] TETSUO/I
    I hope it works...
[05:28] KUBO
    This is Kubo.
[05:29] KUBO
    I have something to report on Nobuto-kun.
[05:35] MATORI
    Have you found him?
[05:48] RELATIVE
    Here you go.
[05:51] RELATIVE
    Let's take great care collecting every piece.
[06:03] TETSUO/I
    Yeah, it's me.
[06:05] TETSUO/I
    I got rid of the tools.
[06:11] TETSUO/I
    It worked, everything fit in it.
[06:14] TETSUO/I
    I'm on my way home now.
[06:20] REIKA
    And? Is my apartment clean now?
[06:24] TETSUO
    Well, actually, not quite...
[06:27] REIKA
    What?! Then how am I supposed to go to school?
[06:30] KASEN
    Reika-chan, please give
    your dad a little break.
[06:33] TETSUO
    I guess I needed more than
    a day to clean it up.
[06:35] TETSUO
    Why don't you go to college
    from here this week?
[06:39] TETSUO
    Right, honey?
[06:41] KASEN
    Yeah, that's a good idea!
[06:44] KASEN
    Three meals and a warm bed included.
[06:46] REIKA
    I don't want to gain weight!
[06:49] REIKA
    There... Ta-da!
[06:51] TETSUO
    Huh?!
[06:52] REIKA
    Too bad!
[06:54] REIKA
    I switched it!
[06:56] TETSUO
    Huh?! But how?!
[06:58] TETSUO
    You didn't touch it, did you?
[07:04] KASEN
    She's really good!
[07:06] KASEN
    No matter how many times she
    showed me, I couldn't see her trick.
[07:10] TETSUO
    So she goes to college and
    this is what she learns...
[07:15] REIKA
    I guess I'll kick back and relax.
[07:21] REIKA
    Oh, Psycho Splatter is on Metflix! Yes!
[07:26] REIKA
    I didn't get to see it in theaters.

[07:30] KASEN
    Reika-chan, it's time for dinner.
[07:33] REIKA
    Oh, I'm good.
[07:35] KASEN
    You might be, but...
[07:53] TETSUO
    Eighteen years.
[07:56] REIKA
    Hm?
[07:57] TETSUO
    It's been eighteen years since Reika was born.
[08:01] TETSUO
    It went by so quick.
[08:04] TETSUO
    I'm grateful everyone's safe and sound today.
[08:08] TETSUO
    Let the three of us
    continue to live peacefully,
[08:13] TETSUO
    with no one missing.
[08:23] KASEN
    Indeed!
[08:24] REIKA
    So melodramatic!
[08:27] REIKA
    --
[08:30] WOMAN
    No!
[08:33] ZOMBIE
    How could you...
[08:35] WOMAN
    No!
[08:36] NOBUTO
    How could you...
[08:47] TETSUO/I
    I brought back all the bones and flesh.
[08:52] TETSUO/I
    They must weigh about 20 kilograms.
[08:57] TETSUO/I
    I can dry the bones, but the flesh...
[09:03] TETSUO/I
    That will start to rot in a couple of days.
[09:06] TETSUO/I
    Before that happens...
[09:09] TETSUO
    Okay, I'm off then.
[09:13] KASEN
    Hold on, Tetsuo-san, just a minute.
[09:18] KASEN
    That car.
[09:20] KASEN
    I haven't seen it around here, and
    I definitely have never seen it parked there.
[09:26] KASEN
    I hope I'm overthinking it, but...
[09:29] TETSUO
    No, I think we're being watched.
[09:33] TETSUO
    I think it was there last night too.
[09:36] KASEN
    Then maybe you should stay put for now.
[09:40] TETSUO
    No, let's see how they react.
[09:45] TETSUO
    If they start following me,
    let me know by text.
[10:08] TETSUO/I
    They're not following me.
[10:10] TETSUO/I
    So I'm not the one who's being monitored?
[10:30] TETSUO/I
    Was it a mistake to leave the house?
[10:40] TETSUO/I
    I don't know.
[10:43] MAN A
    It could be a body.
[10:45] MAN B
    Shut up and hurry up!
[10:51] TETSUO/I
    Anyhow, I gotta get back as soon as possible.
[10:54] MAN B
    Kyoichi-san?
[10:56] MAN B
    Inside the suitcase are changes of
    clothes... towels and such...
[11:01] MAN B
    Maybe he's going on a business trip?
[11:05] KYOICHI
    Okay, continue with the surveillance.
[11:08] DRIVER
    Man, damn him for putting
    misleading shit in his car!
[11:16] TETSUO/I
    Someone opened it!
[11:19] TETSUO/I
    There's no doubt about it!
[11:21] TETSUO/I
    I closed the lid on this specifically so
    I could tell if it was tampered with.
[11:33] TETSUO/I
    Now it's been placed inside.

[11:54] TETSUO/I
    If they were monitoring us yesterday,
[11:58] [Messenger] SIGN
    Tetsuo-san
[11:58] [Messenger] SIGN
    Change of plans
[11:58] [Messenger] SIGN
    Is that car still there? I checked my car trunk just
    now, and it looks like I'm being watched.
[11:59] TETSUO/I
    the moment I carried out that huge suitcase,
[12:03] TETSUO/I
    they would have pegged me as guilty.
[12:06] TETSUO/I
    But they kept a watch on me from afar.
[12:09] TETSUO/I
    Which means they still don't know
    that their friend has been killed.
[12:14] TETSUO/I
    They're still looking into it.
[12:26] TETSUO
    Phew.
[12:28] TETSUO
    So no listening devices.
[12:31] KASEN
    But we're all under surveillance?
[12:34] TETSUO
    Most likely.
[12:36] TETSUO
    So, change of plans.
[12:38] TETSUO
    We'll get rid of it in this room.
[12:40] TETSUO
    Some microbes are sold
    as compost accelerators.
SIGN    Compost Accelerator
SIGN    Potting Mix

    Sprinkle the accelerator on the organic matter
[12:50] TETSUO
    and bury it in moist dirt
     to start decomposition.
[12:55] TETSUO
    Ten grams of accelerant per one kilogram of
    organic matter will cause decomposition within a day.
[13:01] KASEN
    A day?!
[13:04] TETSUO
    So the flesh should decompose
    in a couple of days.
[13:07] KASEN
    Tetsuo-san.
[13:09] REIKA
    Mom?
[13:11] KASEN
    Yes?
[13:13] REIKA
    Where's breakfast?
[13:15] KASEN
    In the fridge.

[13:32] REIKA
    We have a yard, so do it outside.
[13:35] REIKA
    I'll help you.
[13:37] REIKA
    Oh, but after breakfast.

[14:03] KYOICHI
    You're on. Report every
    single detail back to me.
[14:06] SHINGO
    Yes, sir.
[14:11] REIKA
    Around here should be good, right?
[14:13] TETSUO
    Yeah, sure...
[14:14] SHINGO
    Excuse me!
[14:19] SHINGO
    My name is Tanigawa.
    I'm a property appraiser.
[14:26] DRIVER/I
    Shingo made contact
    with the man and his wife.
[14:32] TETSUO
    A survey?
[14:33] SHINGO
    Yes, I'm appraising the value
    of the land around here,
[14:38] SHINGO
    and I'd like to ask you
    a couple of questions.
[14:43] SHINGO
    One minute! It would only take one minute!
[14:47] TETSUO
    Well, but...
[14:49] SHINGO
    If you take our survey now,
[14:53] SHINGO
    you can enter a raffle to win
    a 10,000-yen gift certificate!
[15:05] KASEN
    Excuse me, but could we
    get your business card?
[15:09] KASEN
    If not, could I get the number
    of your company?
[15:12] KASEN
    I'd like to call and speak with
    someone from your company.
[15:16] SHINGO
    I'm actually out of business cards...
[15:24] DRIVER/I
    Kyoichi-san, can you—
[15:26] KYOICHI
    Buy me more time.
[15:34] SHINGO
    I see.
[15:35] SHINGO
    Sorry to bother you during a busy time.
[15:40] TETSUO
    Thank you.
[15:41] KASEN
    Is he with the people who're watching us?
[15:44] TETSUO
    Probably.
[15:45] KASEN
    Eh?!
[15:48] TETSUO
    Inside the house!
[15:58] KASEN
    Anything?
[15:59] TETSUO
    Nothing. But just in case...
[16:03] KASEN
    Yes.
[16:09] TETSUO
    Could you move that over there?
[16:11] KASEN
    This one?
[16:14] KYOICHI/I
    Why? Why did they come
    straight to this room?
[16:20] KYOICHI/I
    A planter?
[16:22] KYOICHI/I
    I don't get it.
[16:24] KYOICHI/I
    They look like completely normal people.
[16:25] TETSUO
    Whoa!
[16:26] KASEN
    Are you all right?
[16:27] KYOICHI/I
    Something smells fishy.
[16:29] KYOICHI/I
    They're acting strange!
[16:30] REIKA
    Why am I the only one digging out here?
[16:33] TETSUO
    Oh, sorry! We're coming!
[16:37] DRIVER/I
    Kyoichi-san!
[16:39] KYOICHI
    I'm coming back now.
[16:56] REIKA
    I'm gonna take a bath.
[16:58] KASEN
    Go ahead.
[17:12] TETSUO
    A listening device.
[17:14] KASEN
    And the back door was somehow unlocked.
[17:23] [Messenger] SIGN
    There could be more
[17:37] TETSUO/I
    So Reika hasn't been able to get in touch
    with her boyfriend since yesterday?
[17:42] DRIVER
    It's from the daughter's room.
[17:47] KASEN/I
    When she was at school, he told her that
    he was coming over, then disappeared.
[17:54] KASEN/I
    Do you think Reika-chan's
    stalker did something to him?
[17:59] TETSUO/I
    That stalker, huh?
[18:01] TETSUO/I
    He was a crazy one,
[18:03] TETSUO/I
    so I wouldn't be surprised if he did
    something to her boyfriend out of spite.
[18:07] KASEN/I
    Then do you think the stalker set up the
    listening device we found in the living room?
[18:13] TETSUO/I
    Sure. Who else could it be?
[18:16] KASEN/I
    Now that I think about it, there's
    a strange car parked outside all the time.
SIGN     TETSUO: Sure. Who else could it be?
    KASEN: Now that I think about it, there's a strange car
    parked outside all the time.
    TETSUO: Oh, the black one!
    KASEN: I'm scared! We should call the police.
    TETSUO: Hold on! Oh my, I found another one.
    KASEN: Oh my goodness!
    TETSUO: Who knows if this is all of it. Maybe there's more.
    I'll search the entire house now, so you go and call the police,
    explain the situation.
    KASEN: Okay. I'm worried about Reika-chan,
    so I'll give her a call as well.
    TETSUO: Good, thank you.
[18:21] TETSUO
    Oh, the black one!
[18:23] KASEN
    I'm scared!
[18:24] KASEN
    We should call the police.
[18:26] TETSUO
    Hold on!
[18:27] TETSUO
    Oh my, I found another one.
[18:31] KASEN
    Oh my goodness!
[18:48] KASEN
    They left.
[18:50] KASEN
    Do you think they bought it?
[18:53] TETSUO
    Maybe.
[18:55] TETSUO
    Now...
[19:00] TETSUO
    Now, while Reika is in the bath,
    we should get rid of this.
[19:13] KASEN
    Tetsuo-san.
[19:14] TETSUO
    Hm?
[19:17] KASEN
    Is this your... first murder?
[19:21] KASEN
    Are you okay?
[19:24] TETSUO
    O-Of course it is!
[19:26] TETSUO
    Why do you ask?
[19:28] KASEN
    I'm just amazed you could
    come up with all this.
[19:33] TETSUO
    Mystery as a genre has existed
    for over 100 years, so...
[19:38] TETSUO
    I have a lot of material to draw from.
[19:42] TETSUO
    I'm desperate, of course!
[19:56] TETSUO
    Huh?
[20:01] KASEN
    I'll help.
[20:05] TETSUO
    No, honey. You...
[20:07] KASEN
    You think you're alone in this?
[20:12] KASEN
    I don't want to lose anyone, either.
[20:17] KASEN
    Just like you don't, Tetsuo-san.
[20:26] TETSUO/I
    I know this road leads to destruction.
[20:32] TETSUO/I
    Even if we manage to hide it, we'll live
    with the guilt for the rest of our lives.
[20:37] TETSUO/I
    But I'm weak...
[20:40] TETSUO/I
    Too weak!
[20:51] TETSUO
    I'm off.
[20:53] KASEN
    Have a good day.
[21:00] TETSUO/I
    Everything is buried now.
[21:02] TETSUO/I
    Now we wait for it to dissolve away.
[21:06] TETSUO/I
    But did I do everything right?
[21:09] TETSUO/I
    Have I overlooked anything?
[21:13] TETSUO/I
    Could I have done things differently?
[21:18] TETSUO/I
    First of all...
[21:22] TETSUO/I
    No, stop thinking!
[21:24] TETSUO/I
    Just work! Work away!
[21:28] TETSUO/I
    Until I can't think of anything else!
[23:10] SIGN
    To protect my family
    is all I can do right now
