"Yusuke Santamaria" "Call if you're going to be late" "EMOTO Akira" "DOPPELGANGER" "As you can see, violent waves are pounding the beach here on the Kii Peninsula" "As we heard earlier..." "What?" "What?" "Welcome back" "How'd you get back?" "What do you mean, how?" "Weren't you just at Home Improvements" "Home Improvements?" "Are you crazy?" "What?" "Oh, no, did I mistake someone else for you?" "How embarrassing" "Takashi, can you get the phone?" "I've got my hands full here." "Yes, hello?" "Nishimori Police here ls this Nagai Takashi's residence?" "Yes, it is" "And you are..." "I'm Takashi's sister" "I see." "You'd better come straight to the Chuo Hospital" "Um, um..." "Did something happen to Takashi?" "He just passed away" "What?" "The investigating officer believes it was a suicide" "Oh, you have the wrong person Takashi's here at home" "But, we got your number from his student id" "Please wait a minute I'll put him on the line" "Takashi, will you come here?" "There's a strange phone call" "Takashi?" "Oh, no..." "Takashi?" "At Medical Cytech Corp., we continue to develop visionary medical equipment through unique ideas and constant technical innovation" "For individuals suffering paralysis after a spinal cord injury, were developing the Artificial Human Body Chair" "A simple sensor around the neck, communicates your every wish" "The ultimate nursing care robot" "Its radical flexibility even lets you chase a tennis ball" "A little reading when you're bored..." "Shut that damned thing off" "Yes" "I'm sorry" "Maybe my will's too weak" "Maybe so" "Takano, adjust the sensors" "Yes" "What are you doing." "Aoki?" "Record that data" "Yes" "Don't you think we should try simplifying the information stream?" "What?" "I mean, the human will is fairly complex" "We've known that all along" "Well, yes" "The product's useless unless it obeys commands universally" "That's why it makes sense to try simplifying it" "I thought the point was to rep icate the complexity of human behavior" "Get with it" "Yes" "Say, Hayasaki" "Didn't you once say you wanted to develop a new pacemaker?" "Yeah" "Got any?" "Good ideas?" "Nope" "Oh, right" "Get to the point" "What?" "That project would be easier to allocate funds for" "Since when were you my enemy?" "What?" "We're all on your side" "You have no enemies in this corporation" "We a l ive off that b ood pressure instrument of yours" "Don't talk about the ancient past" "Sorry" "I'l get the funding Keep on working" "Try not to be such a perfectionist" "Do you need that data?" "No, I don't!" "Who needs a useless log of failures" " Here you are" " Thanks" "We all work too hard" "You're right" "Can I ask you something?" "Sure, what?" "Do you be ieve in paranormal phenomenon, Hayasaki san?" "No, I don't That stuff on TV, right?" "The brother of a friend of mine, ki led himself recent y" "Huh" "And according to his sister, he died because he'd seen his doppelganger" "Doppelganger?" "Like a double They say if you see it, you die" "But, some psychologists claim to have similar cases" "When people see their exact double" "I imagine her brother was in denial" "That he was burdened with some terrible pressure" "What's your opinion?" "My opinion?" "Sorry, I'm not interested" "Hey there Key please" "Hey, it's gone Didn't you take it?" " No, no, I didn't" " What?" "Yeah, I'm much better now" "What?" "I haven't touched his room" "I can't just throw away his things" "Yeah, more or less" "I'm fine Don't worry" "Yeah, yeah..." "Thanks" "I'l call you" "Yeah, bye, now" "The President wants to promote you to management" "What do you say?" "I think it's a nice way of kicking you out of research" "Isn't it about time you considered taking it easy?" "A management position isn't so bad, you know" "Murakami, I'll never work for anyone but myself" "When you don't need me, fire me Tell that to the President" "All right, I will" "It's just..." "For you to continue your research, we need a little ritual." "You understand" "No, no way" "That machine isn't ready yet" "Don't be so stubborn It's your duty to report on your work" "I'll write up a report But I won't unveil the machine" "I told you, it's just for the executives A hoop to jump through lf you have to show it to them, just take it!" "Leave me out of it" "I'll go make some coffee" "Yeah" "Are you OK?" "Yeah" "Is it Murakami san?" "No, that's not it" "Recently I've been..." "You've been what?" "Someone's been stalking me" "Sta king?" "Wow, that's a drag" "Is it a woman?" "Or a man?" " Oh, thanks" " Sure" "Listen, Takano" "Remember that..." "Who was it?" "The person you know whose brother killed himself?" "Yeah" "How's she been, since?" "She said things had settled down" "Huh..." "And her brother?" "I mean that, the..." "Doppel... ganger?" "But her brother's dead" "Oh, right, right, right" "That's right Silly me" "Maybe I'm cracking up..." " Welcome" " Welcome" " Anyone joining you?" " Oh, no" "Call me when you're ready" "The same" "What?" "Like I said, the same" "The same as what, sir?" "What's that?" " Coffee" " That, then" "Right away" "Thank you" "You're really stuck, aren't you?" "Get out This is my house" "Huh?" "I'll call the police" "Like you're such a hotshot" "Who are you?" "Me?" "I'm you" "I'm Hayasaki Michio" "I'm Hayasaki Michio, too" "What kind of nonsense is this?" "Just hurry up and disappear" "What do you mean?" "I turned up here because fe t sorry for you" "I'm overworked I'm losing my mind" "Hey, what are you doing?" "I'm hallucinating" "Man, you're uptight" "I'm offering to help you accomplish what you can't do on your own" "Hard to dream up a better partner" "I still hear him" "You all right?" "The figment's saying something I can't listen" "That's just it" "This inflexibility of yours has been dragging you down" "Why the hell do I have to listen to me lecturing myself?" "You've got big plans, remember?" "I have no intention of discussing them with you" "Neither do I" "Get out" "All right" "And..." "stop driving around in my car" "I had to walk home because of you" "And you." "stop calling me a sta ker" "Everything's ready." "Hayasaki san" "Right" "Let's begin" "Are you OK?" "Yeah" "We pulled it off" "Pulled what off?" "That's not an artificial body" "The way Murakami applauded How tota ly humiliating" "Can I say something, Hayasaki san?" "I think you need to consider Murakami san's fee ings" "You're a genius, Hayasaki san" "No one knows that better than Murakami san" "In addition, you're in a slump right now" "Get to the point" "We're all hoping, all us employees are" "That you'll come up with another amazing invention" "That's why" "Murakami san and I are trying, somehow, to pull you out of your slump" "I'm hardly much use, so it's not for me to say" "But I'm incredibly proud to be working with you" "Let's work hard And meet their expectations" "They only think of themse ves" "A heavy load, huh?" "Their expectations" "Yeah..." "What are you staring at?" "The budget's up 150% No complaints, right ?" "Right" "Now you get to buy that super computer you wanted" "OK, right?" "Sign off on it" "When we perform that ritual for our President next month, let's give him a real nice shock" "Leave everything to me" "Hayasaki You did this" "Do you hate my way of doing things so much?" "You're incomprehensible" "Hi, Takano?" "No, no, forget it I've been fired" "No, no, it's fine I've been fired" "Yeah, that's right" "It's strange I'm kind of relieved" "Actually, I'd hit my limit" "I see, he's still here?" "He is" "The doppelganger?" "I don't know But he's there" "In my house Even now" "And what's this other brother of yours doing at home?" "Writing a novel" "A novel?" "Yes, the deadline for the Newcomer's Award that magazine sponsors is coming up" "Takashi always dreamed of winning it" "I see" "But the Takashi I knew was never that way" "He was a slacker, weak-willed." "totally dependent on me" "Frank y, I'm happier with the new Takashi" " But..." " My brother probably met his ideal self and wound up facing his own limitations" "That's why I think he killed himself" "How are things with you?" "I'm sorry." "I wasn't istening What?" "Oh..." "How are things with you?" "Oh, my situation is hardly that serious" "I see" "In that case, you'll get used to it" "You have no choice" "Hey, lazybones Off we go" "This is hardly the time to brood over the past" "That's exactly the thing that's holding you back" "Hey!" "Hey, off we go!" "Hey" "Off we go" "Hey, c'mon, we're going Hey" "Hey, hey Hold on now" "OK, here we go" "No" "Why not?" "I don't have a c ue what's going on anymore" "What'll we do with you?" "Stop whining" "No, no, no, no!" "I can't do it alone" "Leave me alone!" "Hey" " Hayasaki san" " You still working?" "Yes What brings you here?" "Not to worry" "Shall I help you?" "Huh?" "Takano..." "I'm sorry It's all my fault" "It's an honor to be of service" "OK, OK, OK, stop" " Thanks" " Oh, no" " Make up some story for Murakami" " Yes" "Here" "Excuse me" "I'll remember you... for the rest of my life" "Me, too" "Takano" "Yes?" "What the hell have you done!" "What?" "To Takano, by the door back there" "Nothing" "Liar!" "I only did what you wanted to" "I knew you did it" "Did what?" "I'll leave your lunch here" "Don't bother me" "My brother's gone" "Really?" "He's totally different" "He doesn't seem to need me anymore" "Huh..." "He's someone else He's not Takashi" "Even though he looks the same" "Of course he is" "What am I supposed to do?" "ls Takashi finally, really dead?" "Or will have to keep dealing with that completely different, other Takashi forever?" "That's a tough one" "Yes, it is" "But, you know" "I think the doppe ganger and the self are entirely distinct" "Oh, that's right, you said so, too That he was a different person" "So..." "It's like having a twin, or a chance resemb ance, so..." "So..." "So... right" "I think it means your brother's finally really dead" "You think so?" "Yeah" "Awful" "It's too awful" "That's not what I meant" "What did I do to deserve this?" "I'm starting..." "to not give a damn anymore" "Sorry" "Leave everything to me OK?" "What the fuck!" "Hey!" "Get off!" " Move!" " I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sorry" "Excuse me, I'm sorry" "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" "You, again" "This thing's pretty handy" "Don't touch my machine" "Hey. hey, hey Don't eat that crap" "Look, I brought you some yummy stuff" "Wow, looks good" "Did you do something bad?" "Don't be such a wimp" "I'm going to wind up responsible for everything" "The cops?" "Why do you think like that?" "It's just the opposite" "Whatever you do, as long as I get caught, you're safe" "Can't you even figure that out?" "Not that I really care" "Just get out of here I've got a ton to do" "all right, that's the way" "OK, then I'll be off" "You are pleased, right?" "What are you?" "I was told to come here" "What?" "Your brother hired me" "Wow, so this is the artificial whatever" "Pretty tacky" "Shut up Put that stuff over here" "So, what do I do?" "Sit here" "For real?" "Yeah, it's for real, real You're an emp oyee." "No back-talk" "Try grabbing this" "What?" "Here goes..." "Go" "Grab it" "You fuckin' around?" "I am not I can't grab it" "Your wil 's too weak" "Get out of there Start over" "You look exact y like him Your brother" "What?" "It creeps me out Like you're his double" "Don't say that Ever again, got that?" "Lift both arms" "Good" "That's good, good, good" "OK, now slowly try raising them to your sides" "Good" "OK, lower them" "Hey" "Huh?"

" I'm bustin' my ass, too" "Oh, I'm sorry I'm always grateful" "Fine. then" "In that case" "What?" "It's time I..." "Going so soon?" "We can't be seen together" "Let me know when you need something" "There's an equipment manufacturer in Niigata, called MediCon Industries" "Yeah?" "I need to access their confidential progress reports" "Can you get those?" "I can get 'em" "I've heard they once tried to develop something similar" "Huh" "I need more details" " Sure" " As soon as possible" "I know that" "I'm counting on you" "Man, you are an asshole" "There we go" "Watch your step All kinds of stuff lying around" "Wow, this is..." "So?" "Yeah" "What else do you need?" "I worked here 3 years I can get you anything" "Wow, impressive" "Surprised I come in so handy?" "Kimishima, my brother hired you, right?" "Guess that's right" "You're so identical, I can't remember who's who" "How'd you like to break that contract?" "What?" "Let me hire you instead What do you say?" "Yeah" "In other words, I'd like to make you part of my official team" "Sure, why not" "Right Let's do it, then" "I promise it'll work out" "Except, you can't ever see my brother again" "Even if he confronts you, ignore him Got that?" "Yeah" " This means, we're partners. right?" " Yeah" "From here on, we're in this together" "Yeah" " Leave things to me" " Right" "What?"

"ls this the machine you were talking about?" "Yeah Oh, I'll make some coffee" "Oh. about my brother Thank you" "What?" "Takashi's probably still working on that novel..." "In America" "Well, it's nothing to me anymore" "Huh" " Here you go" " Thank you" "I quit my job" "You did?" "I wonder why" "I guess it was because I wanted to start a new ife" "I see Well, that's good" "You seem like you've changed, too" "Yeah, I do?" "Did you solve your problem?" "Yeah, more or less" "Did your phantom disappear?" "I do things the way I want to And I'm the only one who can" "I finally figured it out" "Can I... help you with that?" "What?" "I'd like to help you" "Um, I've been thinking things over" "And even starting things over, I can't think of anything I can do alone" "But I guess that's kind of sudden, isn't it?" "Another cup of coffee?" "Please" "I guess it won't work..." "No..." "Thank you Thank you for saying that" "I can't live without you either" "I've just now rea ized it" "Oh, no, OK, OK" "What?"

"I'm his official partner, now" "You?" "His partner?" "Great, that's wonderfu" "Oh, no..." "She's got the wrong idea" "Congratulations, Hayasaki" "Want me to do him in?" "Go somewhere" " Why?" " Just get lost for a while" "This place is fantastic" "Right on schedule Now you can work even harder" "Fuck, that hurt" "How dare you How could you have done that?" "Huh?" "How can I explain to her?" "Hey, you know her name's Yuka" "That's not the point" "But you never had the guts to ask her" "I just didn't want to drag her into this mess" "What mess?" "Shut up You are the absolute pits" "Hey man, you've got it a I wrong" "You're the one who was making love to her" "You wanted to as soon as you met her" "So your dream came true" "What are you so pissed off about?" "What is it with you?" "Oh, that Your favorite meal for lunch" "And that MediCon information you wanted" "See, I got it for you" "What's it for?" "Oh, I know, time to go, right?" "It's written all over your face lf you know it, then do it" "Do you hate me that much?" "Yeah, I hate you" "I thought we could enjoy that together" "Hurry up and get out I hate you" "I told her not to come back" "But she insisted" "Shut up" " What the..." " Enough, Kimishima" "I'm sorry about what happened I got carried away" "Couldn't be helped" "Um. which Hayasaki san are you?" "You're the real one, right?" "Whichever one you want" "This one here says she wants to help with the research" "Tel her it's not for amateurs" "What?" "You said it was OK, before" "Before?" "The other..." "Hayasaki san" "Oh..." " I'll he p you" " You can't" "I want to start a new life" " So fucking what" " And just who are you?" "Who am I?" "I'm his partner" "Wow impressive." " What's that about?" " Kimishima" "Well, let's see" "Would you give this a try?" "Good, good, good That's the girl" "Kimishima, the data" "I guess it's time to go home" "Right, good night" " I should go home" " Right" "It's hard to tell whether you're a warm person or a cold one, isn't it?" "But I do... like the warm Hayasaki san" "It final y arrived" "It was tough getting this part from Russia" "Here" " A receipt?" " No, thanks" "Hey, it's been a while" "So they fired you, too, huh" "Well, yeah" "I got involved with a bunch of shady characters" "Embezzled development funds?" "I thought it would all work out" "Life doesn't always work out that way" "You look like you're sitting pretty" "You think?" "Yeah, I do, I can tell" "Remember we go way back" "Murakami, you think I've changed from the old days?" "Not a bit You're the same old you" "Arrogant, confident" "I'm jealous" "What do you say?" "Team up again?" "You're still doing the same research, right?" "I can take care of the money Leave all that to me" "No?" "Sorry, but I'm fine on my own now" "Oh, I see" "Well, feel free to call me if your money runs out" "Sure" "Hello, is this MediCon Industries?" "We've never spoken before My name's Hayasaki" "Can I speak to Takeda, in Development?" "Just tell him it's about the Artificial Body" "I'm sure he'll understand" "Congratulations, it's done" "You're going to take it to MediCon Industries, now, right?" "This assures your position among the ranks of the wor d's greatest investors" "A Nobel Prize wouldn't be bad, either" "Money, fame, power And women, too" "All your dreams came true" "As crude as ever" "Hey, don't act that way" "Do you know why I made this thing?" "I made it for me, for myself" "That was... everything to me" "This sense of accomplishment" "That's what I was after" "I'm sure you wouldn't understand" "Like I said..." "Money, fame, power and women?" "Man, you're pathetic" "Is that all you think about?" "I'd give that away in a heartbeat" "Yeah, and that's what I'm taking" "What?" "The money and the women You can keep the rest" "You've got no complaints, right?" "That's what I was in it for" "What are you ta king about?" "I've got nothing to give you!" "Like I said..." "Listen, I made this on my own" "That's right" "I made it alone, no help from anyone" "Right, right So what?" "So I'll do exactly as I please" "What's wrong with that?" "Exactly what I would do What's wrong with that?" "Oh, I get it" "You're trying to trap me" "Trap you?" "This is what you're after" "I don't want some dumb machine" "This is an artificial body" "Right, just some dumb machine" "And you're just some dumb doppelganger" "You never really existed in this world, did you?" "You sure?" "If I wish you to vanish with all my heart you'll disappear, right?" "Let's try it" "Go away" "Get ost" "It'll never work" "Hayasaki, you're clever, right?" "When are you gonna start getting it?" "The one way you can survive is by recognizing me" "I accept the you inside of me so I've been cooperative" "You have to accept the me inside of you!" "I know you can do it, Hayasaki" "No!" "Vanish!" "Go away!" "Just disappear!" " But you..." " Don't say it" "Don't go any farther I won't listen" "Sooner or later, we'll merge as one self again" "Give up" "Accept your fate" "Hurry, hurry, over here" "Stop, Kimishima!" "Don't you want to get rid of him?" "Just stop it" "Here goes" "OK" "One, two, OK" "Three" "I figured this would happen" "You guys sure didn't get along" "I feel sick" "What are you worried about, Hayasaki san?" "It just disappeared, that's all It was only ever a phantom" "You're taking that machine to Niigata, right?" "Let's just get it over with" "Here" "Let's have a toast" "Here's yours" "And yours" "All kinds of stuff happened but it all worked out" "Ready..." "C'mon. you, too" "Cheers" "Cheers" "Oh, no" "Who?" "He ooked after me once" "Get off of that" "Let's ignore him" "No I have no choice" "Who the hell are they?" "My new team" "Huh" "I brought 20 million yen It's in the car." "Be my partner" "Murakami, I'm sorry, but I don't need money anymore" " You don't?" " No" "I see" "Wow, you pulled it off" "It's just," "I put a ot into it, too You do remember" "I've got some rights, after all" "All right!" "I buy your machine for 20 million yen" "Stop!" "I never knew you were so tough" "I'm no longer the person I was" "Wow" "Don't you dare come back Got that?" " Are you OK?" " Yeah" " Hayasaki san" " What?" "ls the machine OK with all these bumps?" "OK, now" "Need a hand?" "OK, now" "Hey, is this for real?" "Screw him" " Take it slow" " I know" "I said, s ow down" "The engine won't make it" "Stinks" "Kimishima, let's go get some water" "Listen, about what happens when we get to Niigata" " You introduce me to them, right?" " Right" "I'm thinking you should present me as your manager" "What?" "Not your partner, your manager" "I'm actually more that type" "What are you taking about?" "You need someone like that" "That way you can concentrate on your next invention" "You can leave me in charge of that machine" "Oh, no" "Wow" "Where's Kimishima?" "Kimishima... sudden y started insisting the machine was his" "So I fired him" "I see" "What an idiot" "There's an empty house over there Found all kinds of stuff" "Get it now?" "I like my vengeance" "I'm not the idiot you took me for" "You underestimated me Right, Hayasaki?" "You'll regret it 'ti you die You're the idiot" "I'm taking everything" "I'm sorry..." "I can't run any further" "All right Just keep walking toward the highway" "Wait there I promise I'll come for you" "I swear I promise" "Move!" "Kimishima, I'm sorry Forgive me" "But that machine is mine" "I trusted you once" "I'm sorry" "It's too late" "Hey, what do you say?" "Sell me that machine for 5 million?" "Oh, all right" "There's 20 million here" "You want it, right?" "Let's make a deal" "Take it truck and all" "Hey, what's this?" "You..." "I'm in a different league from Hayasaki Don't underestimate me" "Hayasaki san?" " Get in" " What..." "Oh..." "The truck drove by 10 minutes ago" "We can still catch up" " Yuka" " Yes?" "Give up the past No revenge, no memories" "Yes" "From here on out I'm doing exactly as I p ease." "You with me?" "Yes" "Um..." "Hayasaki san, that..." "Huh?" "Your nose" "Oh, this?" "Does it bother you?" "No, not at all" "What, he got you, too?" "Me, too, that punk got me good" "What's up?" "Hurry up and catch him or he'll get away" "Murakami, when did you get to be like that?" "What?" "I used to find you so refreshing" "I wonder when..." "You're not actually like this I know better" "Stop ying to yourself" "Stop here" "What?" "I'm going home" "Right" "I'm sorry." "Hayasaki" "No big deal" "Let's shake" "I won't be seeing you again" "You're really amazing" "Well, we did used to be friends, once" "I couldn't help but take an honest look at my own self" "Wonder what's going to happen next..." "Take an honest look at myse f..." "There he is" "I'll be right back" "Kimishima's pretty tough" "What's with that face, Hayasaki?" "What the hel resurrected you?" "Whatever I'll just keep killing you" "Hayasaki" "I ended up getting everything, all on my own" "I never needeed you in the first place" "Let's be friends, Kimishima" "Shut the fuck up, asshole!" "What did you end up getting?" "What you wanted?" "What was it you wanted?" "Cut it out!" "Hey, you sure you can keep firing?" "You've only got one bul et left" "What if you miss?" "So this is all you were after?" "No revenge, right, Hayasaki san?" "Oh, right" "Hey..." "I fell asleep" " Hayasaki san" " Yes" " Hello." "I'm Takeda from Development" " Oh, hello" " Where's the machine?" " Oh, in there" "I see, let's bring it in through the parking ot" "Excuse me Where's the key?" "What'l you do with it?"
