**[01:38] Chihiro**
Everyone has a secret.
**[01:44] Chihiro**
*Naturally, I am no exception.*
**[01:52] Chihiro**
*I had as many choices as there are stars.*
**[01:58] Chihiro**
*So what am I doing here?*
**[02:05] Chihiro**
* By day, I fight alone as advisor*
* to the Blood Donation Club.*
***SIGN*** Fight Alone
***SIGN*** Strenuous Effort
**[02:10] Chihiro**
*It requires strenuous effort.*
**[02:13] Chihiro**
* By night, I perform the backbreaking work*
* of being the night school's only teacher.*
***SIGN*** Backbreaking
**[02:19] Chihiro**
*It leaves me covered in wounds.*
***SIGN*** Covered in Wounds
**[02:22] Chihiro**
* When I think back on it,*
* my life has been unrewarding.*
**[02:27] Chihiro**
*If I'd been more honest back then,*
**[02:32] Chihiro**
* perhaps a different life*
* would've awaited me.*
**[02:37] Mitsugu**
They didn't have any pork buns.
**[02:41] Mitsugu**
What are you doing getting
worked up by yourself?
**[02:45] Chihiro**
Why did you show up all of a sudden?
**[02:47] Mitsugu**
All of a sudden?
**[02:48] Mitsugu**
You're the one who told me to
bring you something to eat.
**[02:51] Chihiro**
Oh, right. I'd completely forgotten.
**[02:55] Mitsugu**
I'm not your errand girl, you know.
**[02:59] Mitsugu**
It's rather inconvenient for
you to casually contact me.
**[03:02] Chihiro**
Now, now. Don't be so uptight.
**[03:06] Chihiro**
I spend my weekends doing research.
Put yourself in my shoes.
**[03:11] Mitsugu**
Don't you enjoy doing that?
**[03:13] Chihiro**
Who would enjoy this?
**[03:15] Chihiro**
I'm not like you, blood donation enthusiast.
**[03:18] Mitsugu**
By the way, why were you
talking to yourself?
**[03:22] Chihiro**
What? Did I say something?
**[03:25] Mitsugu**
You said something about
an unrewarding life.
**[03:28] Chihiro**
It was the cry of my heart.
**[03:32] Chihiro**
It's not something little
kids would understand.
**[03:34] Mitsugu**
Huh. Well, I'm not particularly
interested in understanding, anyway.
**[03:45] Mitsugu**
Memories?
**[03:48] Chihiro**
Don't touch that!
**[03:49] Chihiro**
This is my soul!
**[03:56] Maki**
Her soul?
**[03:58] Kaoru**
Sounds kind of fishy.
**[04:00] Naomi**
I bet it's something really expensive.
**[04:03] Mitsugu**
It might be something really rare.
**[04:07] Kaoru**
Might be? You were satisfied
with that and left?
**[04:10] Mitsugu**
She stuck it in the fridge and
locked it right after that.
**[04:14] Mitsugu**
And after finishing the cup noodles,
she had sweet buns and beer.
**[04:17] Kaoru**
Sweet buns and beer? Sounds nasty.
**[04:22] Maki**
Stop drifting off-topic
and answer my question.
**[04:27] Mitsugu**
I already told you, she wouldn't
tell me anything else about it.
**[04:32] Kaoru**
Sounds fishy.
**[04:33] Nami**
Definitely fishy.
**[04:35] Maki**
Maybe it's some kind of
monster's blood again.
**[04:41] Kaoru**
Or her ex's.
**[04:44] Mitsugu**
What did you just say?
**[04:46] Koaru**
Or her ex's.
**[04:49] All**
What?!
**[04:51] Mitsugu**
Her ex's blood?
**[04:53] Nami**
Definitely.
**[04:54] Maki**
And she has no sign of
a boyfriend at her age.
**[04:57] Mitsugu**
At her age? You know how old she is?
**[04:59] Maki**
Judging by her skin, I think she's over 40.
**[05:03] Mitsugu**
And she's got a bad back.
**[05:04] Makoru**
And she's got those magnifying glasses.
**[05:06] Maki**
I bet she's staying faithful to that man.
**[05:09] Mai**
What a wonderful story.
**[05:11] Mitsugu**
There's little point in us getting
excited over speculation.
**[05:15] Mitsugu**
But I've never seen that
color or thickness before.
**[05:19] Mitsugu**
Regardless of whose blood it is,
it's definitely a rare type.
**[05:24] Maki**
In that case...
**[05:31] Chihiro**
What do you mean,
you're all out with stomachaches?
**[05:35] Mitsugu**
I'm sorry.
**[05:36] Mitsugu**
We ate some pot stickers my
neighbor gave us together.
**[05:40] Chihiro**
Nothing's more expensive than free, idiots.
**[05:45] Chihiro**
They made me come here for no reason.
**[05:54] Kaoru**
That went well.
**[05:56] Nami**
I sent the boys a message
telling them class is canceled
**[05:58] Nami**
because the doctor has a stomachache.
**[06:00] Mitsugu**
Now we can investigate her secret
without anyone bothering us.
**[06:04] Mitsugu**
* More importantly, if it's high quality*
* blood, then it's surely nutritious, too.*
**[06:09] Mitusgu**
*I bet it'd be good for Mai.*
**[06:11] Mai**
I'm starting to get excited.
**[06:14] Maki**
Then let's also film this documentary
on Chihiro's true identity.
**[06:21] Maki**
Let's ri—
**[06:24] Jinko**
I don't think so.
**[06:27] Mitsugu**
What's wrong with you?
Don't scare us like that.
**[06:30] Nami**
There's no class today.
**[06:32] Kaoru**
Didn't you check your messages?
**[06:34] Jinko**
I'm not that easily deceived.
**[06:37] Shirt**
Sirloin
**[06:38] Katsuno**
Neither are we.
**[06:39] Kanbara**
Sharing is caring.
**[06:42] Okada**
Haven't you heard of the Antitrust Act?
**[06:44] Horita**
Let us join you.
**[06:46] Jinko**
I can't believe you canceled classes.
Just what are you planning?
**[06:52] Maki**
As long as you're all here,
could you handle the lights?
**[07:02] Sign**
School Infirmary
**[07:16] Mitsugu**
Chihiro installed a new lock.
**[07:20] Kanbara**
Captain, you're up.
**[07:22] Katsuno**
Got it.
***SIGN*** CRACK
***SIGN*** STING
**[07:31] Kaoru**
It didn't work.
**[07:32] Maki**
Seriously? We're not getting anywhere.
**[07:36] Mai**
Perhaps we should ask him.
***SIGN*** Franken-kun who will transfer
in Episode 10
**[07:41] Mai**
Franken, you're so wonderful.
**[07:46] Mitsugu**
Okay, that's enough.
**[07:49] Mitsugu**
Now then...
**[08:00] Chihiro**
"I thought this might happen."
**[08:03] Chihiro**
Haven't you guys heard of Shirou Sanada?
**[08:06] Mitsugu**
Doctor? I thought you left already.
**[08:09] Chihiro**
You thought I'd be fooled by that lie?
**[08:12] Chihiro**
How dare you underestimate me.
**[08:15] Mitsugu**
Don't be ridiculous.
**[08:17] Chihiro**
You're after this blood, aren't you?
**[08:21] Chihiro**
Even if nuclear war or a
peasant uprising broke out,
**[08:26] Chihiro**
I'd never let anyone take this blood.
**[08:30] Maki**
Please tell us about that blood
that's so important to you.
**[08:34] Maki**
As youngsters on their way to
becoming adults, offer us guidance.
**[08:38] Maki**
Please, doctor.
**[08:43] Chihiro**
If you insist.
**[08:45] Chihiro**
I hope you're prepared to listen all night.
**[08:49] Chihiro**
It's a long story...
**[09:00] Chihiro**
Our meeting was a shocking
and moving affair.
**[09:06] Chihiro**
I distilled old blood and made health
supplements using the residue.
**[09:12] Chihiro**
I sacrificed my youth for the
sake of that experiment.
**[09:17] (Flashback) Deliveryman**
Thanks again.
**[09:18] (Flashback) Chihiro**
You're late.
**[09:20] (Flashback) Chihiro**
How many hours does it take to
deliver a cutlet bowl, you...
**[09:28] (Flashback) Chihiro**
It's just falling in love.
**[09:32] Mitsugu**
That was quick.
**[09:33] Maki**
It certainly was shocking.
**[09:35] Chihiro**
Shut up and listen!
**[09:42] Chihiro**
He taught me what youth was.
**[09:49] Chihiro**
Annual pass: 59,000 yen
plus food and beverage costs.
**[09:53] Chihiro**
Arcade games: 35,600 yen
plus food and beverage costs.
**[09:58] Chihiro**
Traditional Japanese games: 124,500 yen
plus food and beverage costs.
**[10:04] Sign**
Chimidoro Bank
**[10:04] Sign**
Chihiro Chimatsuri-sama
**[10:07] Chihiro**
He taught me that youth is expensive.
**[10:14] Chihiro**
Then, one day...
**[10:16] (Flashback) Deliveryman**
Thanks again.
**[10:18] (Flashback) Chihiro**
Jeez, you're late.
**[10:24] Chihiro**
He disappeared...
**[10:28] Sign**
Goodbye
**[10:28] Chihiro**
...along with my passbook and personal seal.
**[10:39] Chihiro**
After a year and eight
months of that, finally...
**[10:43] (Flashback) Chihiro**
It's done!
**[10:46] Chihiro**
It was the product of coincidence and a
miracle, but my hard work finally paid off.
**[10:53] Chihiro**
The supplement I made without
any trace of odd flavors, mold,
**[10:56] Chihiro**
or unwanted cultures provided enough
energy to run a thousand meters.
**[10:59] Mitsugu**
Where can we buy that?
**[11:02] Chihiro**
Shut up and listen until I'm finished!
**[11:11] Chihiro**
At that time, I was seeing a
man I'd met on a dating site.
**[11:18] (Flashback) Chihiro**
If I apply for a patent, I'll be
able to pay off all your debt.
**[11:23] (Flashback) Chihiro**
Then we can get married.
**[11:26] (Flashback) Tonio**
Indeed. We'll build a new
research lab together.
**[11:30] Chihiro**
He was a hematologist like me,
**[11:33] Chihiro**
but he carried a lot of
debt from caring for his parents.
**[11:38] Kaoru**
Debt?
**[11:39] Maki**
Seriously?
**[11:41] Nami**
This is starting to sound sketchy again.
**[11:45] (Flashback) Chihiro**
I don't want to leave tonight.
**[11:49] (Flashback) Tonio**
Chihiro...
**[11:53] (Flashback) Tonio**
Here's looking at you, kid.
**[11:56] Mitsugu**
I've heard that line before.
**[11:58] Maki**
It's from the 1942 American
film *Casablanca*.
**[12:03] Maki**
It's a line from the final scene of this immortal
masterpiece and is exceedingly famous.
**[12:08] Maki**
It stars Humphrey Bogart, and the
heroine is played by Ingrid Bergman.
**[12:13] Maki**
By the way, this beautiful actress was
born in Sweden and is known for—
**[12:25] (Flashback) Chihiro**
Promise me you'll return.
**[12:28] (Flashback) Tonio**
Of course.
**[12:33] Chihiro**
He left on a trip to pay off his debt.
**[12:38] Chihiro**
He made a promise to me.
**[12:41] Chihiro**
He promised he'd get fit and return with
a gift of rare and valuable blood.
**[12:56] Jinko**
Couldn't he have paid
off his debt at an ATM?
**[12:59] Maki**
Your story is full of anachronisms.
**[13:02] Mitsugu**
Are you going to tell us he never returned?
**[13:05] Kaoru**
He dumped you.
**[13:07] Maki**
It's marriage fraud.
**[13:08] Nami**
Happens all the time.
**[13:11] Chihiro**
The story is just beginning.
**[13:23] Chihiro**
I heard a rumor that he was living
in a village in the north.
**[13:32] Chihiro**
He must've lost his memory
in an accident or something.
**[14:19] (Flashback) Young Woman**
Three winters ago, I found him covered
in blood in front of my house.
**[14:26] (Flashback) Young Woman**
Apparently he'd been beaten
by some debt collectors.
**[14:30] (Flashback) Young Woman**
He regained consciousness, but his
rehabilitation took a long time.
**[14:35] (Flashback) Young Woman**
Every night, he deliriously
called a woman's name.
**[14:42] (Flashback) Chihiro**
He hasn't forgotten me.
**[14:48] (Flashback) Young Woman**
You must be Chizuru-san.
**[14:54] Mitsugu**
Chizuru?
**[14:55] Kaoru**
Who's Chizuru?
**[14:57] Jinko**
Does that mean there was another woman?
**[14:59] Mitsugu**
Or he remembered your name wrong?
**[15:02] Jinko**
Either way, he's awful.
**[15:04] Kaoru**
He totally dumped you.
**[15:06] Maki**
There's a movie that's not quite like this.
**[15:10] Maki**
And that movie is...
**[15:13] Maki**
Master director Vittorio De Sica's 1970
Italian/French/USSR joint production *Sunflower*.
**[15:22] Maki**
It stars Sophia Loren and
Marcello Mastroianni.
**[15:26] Maki**
In Japan, it's known as Sophia
Loren's greatest masterpiece,
**[15:30] Maki**
but personally, I prefer Lyudmila Savelyeva,
**[15:34] Maki**
who played Mastroianni's Russian wife.
**[15:38] Maki**
That aside, ultimately, it's marriage fraud.
**[15:41] Nami**
Happens all the time.
**[15:44] Mitsugu**
Well, there's also something wrong
with people who fall for it.
**[15:47] Chihiro**
Back then, I was an idiot focused
wholly on her research.
**[15:52] Mitsugu**
So, what happened to the supplement?
**[15:55] Mitsugu**
What does this story have to do
with the blood labeled "Memories"?
**[16:00] Chihiro**
Hold your horses.
**[16:01] Chihiro**
This is where things get crazy.
**[16:07] Chihiro**
He'd lost his memory and was living
a second life with a young woman.
**[16:13] Chihiro**
Not only that, but they had
a cute child together.
**[16:36] (Flashback) Tonio**
Chiaki...
***SIGN*** Chiaki...
**[16:38] (Flashback) Young Woman**
Who's Chiaki? Isn't she Chizuru?
**[16:42] (Flashback) Young Woman**
There's another woman besides
Chizuru, isn't there?
**[16:44] (Flashback) Tonio**
Wait. There's a reason for this.
**[16:49] (Flashback) Tonio**
Don't go, Chinami!
**[16:55] Kaoru**
Yet another woman.
**[16:57] Jinko**
Chinami.
**[16:58] Nami**
Chiharu.
**[16:59] Maki**
Chifuyu.
**[17:00] Mitsugu**
Maybe there'll be a Chiiko, too.
**[17:03] (Flashback) Young Woman**
Chiiko, we're leaving.
**[17:06] Mitsugu**
There really was one.
**[17:40] Chihiro**
Months passed.
**[17:43] Chihiro**
Once again I believed in miracles and
devoted myself to producing supplements.
**[17:49] (Flashback) Deliveryman**
Thanks again.
**[17:51] (Flashback) Chihiro**
You're late.
**[17:52] (Flashback) Chihiro**
How many hours does it take to
deliver a cutlet bowl, you...
**[18:00] (Flashback) Chihiro**
It's just falling in love.
**[18:05] Mitsugu**
Again?
**[18:06] Maki**
Zero ability to learn.
**[18:13] Chihiro**
He taught me that youth is eternal.
**[18:19] Chihiro**
Annual pass: 59,000 yen
plus food and beverage costs.
**[18:23] Mitsugu**
Okay, okay.
**[18:23] Sign**
School Infirmary
**[18:24] Maki**
We already heard that part.
**[18:26] Nami**
Hurry up and tie this story
to the "Memories" blood.
**[18:30] Mitsugu**
Before that, what happened
to the supplement?
**[18:33] Maki**
Did the debt collectors take it from you?
**[18:40] Chihiro**
I'm glad you asked.
**[18:42] Mitsugu**
Of course we asked.
**[18:45] Chihiro**
Several more months passed.
**[18:48] Chihiro**
Once again I believed in miracles and
devoted myself to producing supplements.
**[18:52] (Flashback) Tonio**
Thanks again.
**[18:53] (Flashback) Chihiro**
Shut up. I didn't order
anything for delivery.
**[18:58] (Flashback) Tonio**
You let me in because I said
was here to deliver something.
**[19:02] (Flashback) Tonio**
I'm back.
**[19:03] Mitsugu**
Again?
**[19:05] Tonio**
Chi...
**[19:06] Chihiro**
Tonio.
**[19:08] Mitsugu**
Tonio?
**[19:10] Chihiro**
What? I just remembered his name.
**[19:10] Sign**
An Tonio
**[19:15] (Flashback) Tonio**
I couldn't help what happened then.
**[19:18] (Flashback) Tonio**
Those debt collectors didn't believe
my story about the supplement.
**[19:22] (Flashback) Chihiro**
Where is it now?
**[19:24] (Flashback) Tonio**
I'm sorry. They threw it in the gutter.
**[19:29] (Flashback) Tonio**
They ganged up on me,
**[19:32] (Flashback) Tonio**
and while living with Chiemi after
she rescued me, this happened.
**[19:37] (Flashback) Tonio**
I made you wait all this time.
**[19:40] (Flashback) Tonio**
But I still—
**[19:42] (Flashback) Chihiro**
Don't say it.
**[19:44] (Flashback) Chihiro**
It's in the past now.
**[19:46] (Flashback) Chihiro**
This was destined to happen.
**[19:50] (Flashback) Tonio**
I couldn't keep our promise,
**[19:55] (Flashback) Tonio**
but the winter is cold.
***SIGN*** °No animals were harmed in the making of this film.
***SIGN*** Inu
**[20:04] (Flashback) Tonio**
Let's start over again, Chi... Chi...
**[20:07] (Flashback) Chihiro**
What about Chiiko-chan?
**[20:08] (Flashback) Chihiro**
Isn't she your child?
**[20:11] (Flashback) Chihiro**
I can't go back to how things were.
**[20:13] (Flashback) Deliveryman**
Thanks again.
**[20:15] (Flashback) Deliveryman**
Chi-chan, did you want kitsune
soba for a late night snack?
**[20:20] Kaoru**
You were still seeing him?
**[20:39] Chihiro**
If only I'd told him not to go then...
**[20:59] Chihiro**
Well? Pretty good story, right?
**[21:02] Mitsugu**
No. Listen, we'll give
up on the supplement—
**[21:06] Nami**
That's right. Whose blood
is the "Memories" blood?
**[21:09] Kaoru**
Yeah.
**[21:17] Chihiro**
Type A, type B, type O.
**[21:20] Chihiro**
None of them are rare or valuable,
**[21:22] Chihiro**
but it's the blood of those damn
bastards who wasted my youth.
**[21:28] Chihiro**
That plus all the rest of my youth
is contained in this one bottle.
**[21:38] Chihiro**
Listen to the lamentation
of my youth, damn it!
***SIGN*** SLAP SLAP SLAP
**[21:44] Katsuno**
Is her long-winded story finally over?
**[21:46] Chihiro**
Die, bastards!
***SIGN*** SLAP SLAP SLAP
**[22:00] Chihiro**
Everyone has a secret.
**[22:05] Chihiro**
And not necessarily just one.
***SIGN*** Episode 9 "Bolt Style"
**[23:46] Mitsugu**
I just happened to come
to this beach to swim.
**[23:51] Mitsugu**
Excuse me for asking, but is
there a doctor around here?
