[02:02] Kadota
Okay, very good.
[02:05] Kadota
Shimoda?
[02:06] Shimoda
Oh, I'm sorry.
[02:11] Shimoda
I've never witnessed an execution...
[02:15] Kadota
Has it been a year or so
since you were assigned here?
[02:20] Shimoda
Yes.
[02:21] Shimoda
So this is where they carry out executions.

Maybe they're trying
to cut down on janitors.
[02:49] Satake/I
A death row inmate's life is peaceful
and quiet on the surface.
SIGN Red Demon
[02:54] Satake/I
There's no penal labor,
so there's a lot of free time.
[02:57] Satake/I
To kill time, death row
inmates take up new hobbies.
[03:03] Satake/I
Reading books, composing haiku...
some even get religious.
[03:12] Satake/I
Shimoda-san...
[03:14] Satake
The book you recommended was so good.
[03:18] Shimoda
Right?
[03:19] Shimoda
I love the part where the
red-haired punk goes nuts!
[03:23] Satake
I felt refreshed reading that scene as well.
[03:27] Shimoda
I told my sister about the book too,
and she got hooked.
[03:31] Shimoda
She can't seem to put it down.
[03:33] Satake
I know how she feels.
[03:36] Satake
I'm glad she liked it too.
[03:39] Shimoda
Yeah.
[03:40] Shimoda

Do you think I'll get to read it?
[03:51] Shimoda
Huh? Oh, well...
[03:54] Satake
Shimoda-san, thank you very much.
[03:57] Shimoda
What's that about?
[03:59] Satake
Before I came here, I had no time for books.
[04:04] Satake
So I never knew about this
amazing world of reading.
[04:08] Satake
It's all thanks to you
recommending that I read.
[04:11] Shimoda
Please. It was nothing.
[04:14] Satake
I'm so grateful that I got
to experience this at the end of my life.
[04:21] Satake
That reminds me. I have a question.
[04:24] Shimoda
What is it?
[04:25] Shimoda
As long as it's not classified, I'll answer.
[04:29] Satake
It's about my last meal.

Oh, sorry.
[04:58] Satake
It's fine.
[05:00] Satake
I see. That's too bad.
[05:03] Satake
I love fish. In particular,
sea bream sashimi is my favorite food.
[05:08] Satake
But due to a certain circumstance,
I couldn't eat it anymore.
[05:12] Satake
If I could request a last meal,
[05:14] Satake
I would've wanted to eat my fill of that.
[05:16] Shimoda
Satake...
[05:17] Kadota
Shimoda, the warden is asking for you.
[05:21] Shimoda
Okay. See you later, Satake.

[05:30] Shimida
Excuse me.
[05:32] Warden
An execution will be
carried out on the 25th.
[05:37] Warden
Shimoda, your role is to hold
onto the rope that will hang the inmate.
[05:42] Warden
Got that?
[05:44] Shimoda
Y-Yes. I understand.
[05:48] Shimoda
Excuse me, Warden.

[06:12] Shimoda
Kadota-san...
[06:14] Kadota
What's your role?
[06:17] Shimoda
I have to hold onto the rope
that hangs the inmate so it doesn't sway.
[06:23] Kadota
I'm in charge of pressing a button.
[06:27] Shimoda
One of the three buttons?
[06:31] Kadota/I
There are three buttons that
can operate the trap door.
[06:34] Kadota/I
One of the buttons is randomly
assigned to open the trap door.
[06:39] Kadota/I
Three executioners press
the buttons at the same time,
[06:43] Kadota/I
making it impossible to identify
who actually took the inmate's life.
[06:48] Kadota/I
This lessens the psychological
burden on the executioners.
[06:51] Kadota
But I still have to press a button.
[06:56] Kadota
My heart is heavy.
[06:58] Shimoda
Helping execute someone...
[07:01] Shimoda
I'm scared.
[07:03] Kadota
It'll be all right.
[07:04] Kadota
I'm here for you.
[07:06] Kadota
You seem to have gotten close to Satake.
[07:10] Shimota
I...
[07:11] Kadota
I've got nothing against it.
[07:13] Kadota
But you saw Satake's record, right?
[07:17] Kadota
He abused his fiancée daily,
[07:21] Kadota/I
suspected that she was cheating
on him with a friend,
[07:25] Kadota/I
stabbed them both to death, and started a fire.
[07:28] Kadota/I
He deserves the death penalty.
[07:31] Kadota
He's an atrocious criminal,
and deserves no sympathy.
[07:35] Shimoda
But he's a really good guy in front of me.
[07:39] Kadota
Death row inmates are assigned no penal labor.
[07:42] Kadota
The death penalty is their punishment,
[07:45] Kadota
and the only way to atone for their crimes.
[07:48] Kadota
Executing the penalty correctly
so that they can atone for their crimes...
[07:52] Kadota
As prison guards, that's our
role in seeing justice done.

Am I wrong?

The execution is announced
to the death row inmate

at 9:00 AM on the day of the execution.
[08:07] Satake/I
It used to be announced the day before,
[08:11] Satake/I
but many inmates took their own lives
out of fear of the death penalty.
[08:16] Satake/I
So now, they notify on the day of.
[08:19] Satake/I
I had let my guard down because my life
as a death row inmate was so peaceful.

would come and go as usual,

A motorcycle accident...
[11:00] Professor
A motorcycle?
[11:02] Professor
Oh! It was in your documentation.
[11:05] Professor
A few years ago,
[11:07] Professor
you got caught in a trap set
by a guy who was attempting indiscriminate murders.
[11:12] Professor
Someone strung a piece of plastic
rope painted in black across the road,
[11:16] Professor
right at the height of someone's
throat who's on a motorcycle.
[11:22] Professor
You got caught in it

Just as I said.
[12:28] Professor
You're a death row inmate.
[12:31] Satake
Death row inmate? Me?
[12:35] Professor
Technically, a former death row inmate.
SIGN Re-Execution
SIGN Release
[12:39] Professor
Currently, they're working out
how to handle your case.
[12:45] Professor
You came back from your
execution alive, after all.
[12:50] Satake
"Came back"? What?
SIGN Death Penalty
[12:53] Professor
The death penalty is a punishment
that enforces death.
SIGN A punishment that enforces death
[12:57] Professor
The punishment was enforced,
and you died once.
[12:59] Chibi Satake
Mommy!
[13:02] Chibi Satake
I'm dead.
[13:03] Professor
The judicial power to execute
you is exhausted at this point,
SIGN Judiciary
SIGN Power to Execute
[13:06] Professor
so logically speaking,
[13:09] Professor
it's not possible to execute you again
after you've come back to life.
[13:11] Chibi Satake
Hooray!
[13:17] Professor
Thus, you're a former death row inmate,
SIGN Former Death-Row Inmate
[13:20] Professor
although various lawyers may have
different opinions about that.
[13:27] Professor
Anyhow, this is almost unprecedented.
[13:33] Professor
I hear it's giving the higher-ups
quite the headache.
SIGN What to do...
[13:39] Satake
Is it really possible to come back
from an execution?
[13:44] Professor
I said almost unprecedented.
[13:46] Professor
So it's happened before.
SIGN Meiji 4
[13:50] Professor
In 1871, in Sekitetsu Prefecture,
SIGN Sekitetsu Prefecture
[13:53] Professor
which is now the Chuyo and Toyo regions
of the current Ehime Prefecture,
SIGN (Ehime Prefecture, Chuyo and Toyo regions)
SIGN Tanaka Tosaku (31)
[13:57] Professor
a 31-year-old death row inmate named
Tanaka Tosaku was executed by hanging.
[14:06] Professor
His death was confirmed, and his body
was on its way to his relative's house...
[14:16] (Flashback) Carrier 1
Huh? Did you hear that?
[14:18] (Flashback) Carrier 2
Yeah...
[14:26] (Flashback) Carrier 2
Eek!
[14:27] (Flashback) Carrier 1
He came back to life!
[14:29] Professor
This is called the Sekitetsu Death Row
Inmate Resurrection Incident.
[14:34] Satake
And what happened to this Tosaku after?
[14:39] Professor
He was sentenced to death,
[14:41] Professor
not because he committed
a capital crime like murder,
[14:43] Professor
but because he torched a building
during a riot against the Meiji government.
[14:50] Professor
They ruled that there were grounds for mercy,
and he was cleared of his charges.
SIGN He came back to life
after being executed.
No further discussion
necessary.
Immediately return
to your permanent
residence.
[14:55] Professor
But in your case, you are guilty of murder.
[15:01] Satake
A dead man coming back to life...
[15:04] Satake
It's hard to believe.
[15:06] Professor
Incidents where the dead return to life are
reported all over the world, even now.
[15:12] Professor
In Ukraine, an 83-year-old woman's death
[15:15] Professor
was confirmed by
the ambulance crew and the police,
[15:19] Professor
but she regained consciousness
ten hours later.
[15:24] Professor
In Venezuela, a 33-year-old man died
in a car crash on a highway.
[15:30] Professor
But during the autopsy, he sprang back up
from the pain of being cut.
[15:40] Professor
There's even a case reported
of a corpse left in the morgue for three days
[15:43] Professor
coming back to life.
[15:47] Satake
I never knew it was so common.
[15:50] Professor
However, whether these stories are
true or not is debatable.
[15:54] Professor
Even with Tosaku's execution,
[15:57] Professor
that happened in the Meiji era, when they didn't
have a lot of experience with the gallows,
SIGN Back in those days, the execution process was
"weigh down for three minutes and release
the rope upon symptoms of death.
[16:00] Professor
and they didn't have reliable techniques
for determining death.
[16:05] Professor
You surviving a contemporary Japanese
execution is an absolute anomaly.
[16:08] Chibi-Satake
Yay!
[16:11] Satake
So how did I survive?
[16:15] Professor
A gallows is designed to cause an instant death
by cervical fracture from the fall, not from suffocation.
[16:26] Professor
However, sometimes those who have very
strong necks, like you do, survive the fall.
[16:35] Professor
That's why the body is left for 15 to 30 minutes
after the execution to cause suffocation.
[16:43] Professor
After that, a coroner confirms the death,
[16:48] Professor
and the body is released from the rope.
[16:52] Professor
Normally, this is enough to cause certain death.
[16:57] Professor
But the truth is,
[16:59] Professor
you were already dead from a different cause,
not cervical fracture or suffocation.

[17:06] Professor
You had sea bream sashimi right
before the execution.
SIGN Anaphylactic Shock
SIGN Exposure to allergens resulting in life-threatening,
acute allergic reactions throughout the body
[17:11] Professor
And you went into anaphylactic shock
because of it.
[17:16] Satake
Um... right.
[17:19] Satake
Now I remember.
[17:20] Satake
I could die from eating fish.
[17:24] Professor
That's right.
[17:25] Professor
You have developed an allergy
to the fish parasite, Anisakis.
[17:32] Professor
Anisakis is a nematode that lives in fish.
SIGN Anisakis
[17:36] Satake
Thank you for the food.
[17:36] Professor
It can also live in humans,
[17:40] Professor
and occasionally, there are
people who have allergic reactions.
[17:44] Professor
Anisakis exists in almost all fish,
so once you develop this allergy,
[17:53] Professor
every time you eat fish,
there's a risk of anaphylactic shock.
[17:59] Professor
Therefore, you couldn't eat fish
after this incident.
[18:05] Professor
Despite that, you ate sea bream
sashimi right before the execution,
[18:10] Professor
and you went into anaphylactic
shock during the execution.
[18:14] (Flashback) Coroner
Death is confirmed.
[18:16] Professor
Of course, the coroner mistook it as death.
[18:21] Professor
But you were released from the rope
before you had suffocated,
[18:26] Professor
in a state of death from anaphylactic shock.
[18:29] Professor
Or rather, in a state of apparent death.
[18:32] Professor
And you miraculously came back to life.
[18:38] Professor
With anaphylactic shock,
[18:40] Professor
even if it's severe, there's a
slim chance of recovery.
[18:45] Professor
Your resurrection must be
the product of that slight chance.
[18:50] Satake
Is something that crazy even possible?!
[18:54] Professor
Normally, no.
[18:57] Professor
But it has indeed happened.
[19:00] Professor
More importantly, Satake-san,
[19:03] Professor
you may not remember this right now,
[19:07] Professor
but your whole life's been
one such crazy event after another.
[19:13] Professor
You look like you don't believe me.
[19:17] Professor
