[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. SIGN    Last World SIGN     The same workplace, the same family, the same everyday life,     but on that day, humans learn the meaning of despair. Will you     be able to exist in the world of tomorrow? [07:26] [Messenger] REIKA     Play [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. [11:51] [Messenger] SIGN     Tetsuo-san [11:51] [Messenger] SIGN     Receiving Text [11:51] TETSUO/I     Let's calm down.

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.

[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?
