"ISN'T ANYONE ALIVE" "Jinsei University" "Hello." "Yes?" "Excuse me." "Where is the University Hospital?" "I got lost." "You're on campus." "It's that way." "I'm pretty sure that I came from that direction..." "One wrong mm and you get lost in this maze." "There are various ways you could go." "What's the easiest way?" "Go up those steps by that building." "Turn left at the top and stay on the long path." "When you get to the end, go right." "That's the West Gate." "Turn right at the end." "OK, I see." " Yes?" " Thank you." "You're welcome." "Can you explain?" "I'm sorry." " It's not your fault." " He's a slob." "You still love me, right?" "Well..." "I do." "Can I have your name again?" "It's Shijima." "It's Kaori Shijima." "It means 400,000." "What an unusual name..." "What do you want, Kaori?" "Well..." "I'm sorry to bother you, but can I take your orders if that's OK?" "Just a moment..." "Can we have more time?" "I have to leave." "I'll talk to Mother." "I want you two to talk this over." "This is going nowhere." "OK, Katsufumi?" "Okay." "Well then?" "I don't know." " Come on..." " Ready to order?" "A regular coffee." "One regular coffee." " What's this Brown Sugar Sundae...?" " This isn't that kind of occasion!" "I know." "I'm just curious about how it's made." "Forget about it!" "Does the Caramel Green Tea Latte come with ice cream?" " If you like." " Yes please." "How inappropriate." " I'm thirsty." " Then have Chinese tea!" "So you want a coffee and a Caramel Green Tea Latte with ice cream?" "Can I have a Black Sesame Soya Milk Latte instead?" "One Black Sesame Soya Milk Latte." "That's all?" "Yes." "Excuse me." " Black sesame and soya milk?" " So?" " It's a meal!" " No. it's a latte." "What about the ingredients?" "You put sesame and soya milk on your rice?" "I don't but..." "It's a latte then." "I bet it tastes savoury." "Everybody drinks it." "Gross." "Anyway, what will you do?" "I don't know..." "What can be done?" " I'm having it." " Why?" "I don't want to abort." "Really..." "What do you want?" "What options are there?" "What?" "What are the options?" "What's your problem...?" "Option 1, you leave her and marry me." "2, marry her and pay child support." "Or lose us both and pay child support." "By the way, I won't marry you." "Right." "Is there an option without payment?" "No!" "Oh, really?" "Yes, that's the law." "It's a crime not to pay." "Really?" "How about I don't pay and get arrested?" "No!" "That's not an option." "Of course I won't choose it." "But it should be presented as an option." "No!" "Are you an idiot?" "I am not." "What should I do...?" "I don't know!" "You decide." "Can I decide?" "Who else can?" "We can all talk it through and vote." "This is not up to the majority." "I know that." "If you ever ended up marrying Ryoko it'd go nowhere." "You think so?" "It's clear!" "Look how snobby she is!" "Is that right?" "I'll talk to Ryoko now." "I'll come too." "Why?" "Then Ryoko could have stayed." "Do you want that?" "A horror magazine?" "It's a ghost story issue." " Urban myths?" " Yes." "' What?" "." "Huh?" "You mean that myth?" "These mags often throw in some urban myths." "Really..." " You interested?" " No." " Can I see?" " Sure." " This is bad." " What?" "Some kind of train accident." " The subway?" " No, the JR line." " Really?" "Where?" " Sakamuke." "So close!" "Is the subway accident related?" "There are no details." " Anyone die?" " I guess not." " Is it a text?" " No, the Net." "What's it say?" "It happened when a train driver passed out." "How scary!" "It must be terrorists." " At Sakamuke?" " Well..." " Is the subway operating?" " Maybe." "You use the subway?" "I can walk to another line, but if that's stopped..." "You can stay at my place." "I'll stay with Match." " This is boring." " It's so trashy." " Throw it away." " But our myth is in it." "Really?" "Where?" " It's kind of censored." " What?" "What?" "Censored how?" " You're not interested." " True." " It's a long story." " Make it short." "I've got to go." "' A Buy?" " No way!" "Why deny it?" " On your behalf." " Thanks." "What is it?" "Ryoko's wedding performance." "Ryoko's wedding?" " Enari's coming too." " I know." "Andre too." " You weren't invited?" " Ryoko and I aren't close." "That's true." "I'll do my Urban Myths thesis." " The deadline's far off." " It isn't!" "Oh no!" "I better get to work." "Don't worry." "That's why you fail!" "It's the myth!" "What is it?" " The University Hospital story." " What's that?" "I told you when you stayed at my place!" "The one about the human experiments in the basement?" " And?" " It's in there." "Way to go!" "I didn't write it." "It's an urban myth." "I don't understand what an urban myth is!" "We explained it once already!" "You know the story about the Slit-mouth lady?" "With the slit mouth?" "Very good." "And?" "That's an urban myth." "It's just made up." "It isn't!" "I can't see the difference between a myth and a lie." "Urban myths are a way to understand people..." "They reveal a lat" "Like what?" "I don't know..." "like, collective fear." "Anyway, that University Hospital is our one!" "No way!" "It's a rumour..." " I saw him!" " What?" " The pop idol." " Where?" " In the library." " Who?" "The pop star studying here." " He comes to classes?" " Sure." " I want to see him!" " I don't." "Is he handsome?" "He looks better on TV." " Isn't the real thing best?" " Exactly!" "What's this about?" "It's nothing." " It's chaotic now." " The accident?" " You heard?" " Eiko told us." "I saw it on the Net." "Many people died." "On which line?" "The JR." "Oh, my God!" "Apparently the driver dozed off." "2 accidents in a row!" " He was that tired?" " Maybe he has narcolepsy." "The TV news will be fun." "Do you think our friends died too?" "Oh, I'd hate that" "Got the CD?" "I called the wedding MC." "And?" "Apparently we're too late to make requests." "What?" "We can't use the CD." "That's crazy." "I know, but I didn't want to aggravate him." "But we've got to use the CD." "Normally we would." "But they can't stop us using it!" "We could have if we'd said so earlier." "Too bad..." " A cappella, then?" " Let's think." "But can we practice?" "We have to." "What a bummer..." "Deal with it" " It can't be a cappella." " What then?" "You can dance." "No!" " Any better ideas?" " You want to dance?" "I don't see any option." "There's got to be something." "Let's think." "All we can do is sing and dance." "How did it go?" "Is that everything?" "Yes." "Enjoy your drinks." " It's so black." " Lay off!" "Let's do a comedy act." "That's even harder." "Hello?" "Hi, Match." "I'm here." "Where are you?" "Do you have the tape recorder?" "Hello?" "It cut off." "We can bring our CD player." "It won't sound good..." " It's better than a cappella." " I guess so." "Let's do that." "You know... my sister got married the other day and her friends got up and performed..." "They all do it" " Yeah..." " And?" "My girlfriend and I saw this kid at the wedding." "She thought he was so cute with his round cheeks." "I said if I slapped him he'd cry." "Slap him on the head real good and he'd cry." "That's what I said." "What do you think of that?" "...You went with your girlfriend?" "Yes." "Uh-huh." "We should practice." "Is the room booked?" " Which one?" " The big room at D-Tower." "Room 203." " Going?" " Yup," "See you." " You staying?" " I have a meeting." "It's kind of fun." " What meeting?" " The Urban one." "Oh, with Match?" " Oh, the Urban Myth Lab!" " Right." "Many urban myths aren't very urban." "What?" "They're set in the countryside." "Let's go." "See you." " Let's go to the shop." " Why?" "I'm hungry." "Have fun." " Thanks." " How long for?" "An hour... maybe longer if the trains aren't running." "Bye." "See you tomorrow?" " I'll call you." " Yes." "Can I have my magazine?" "Can I have a sip?" "Can I?" "Let me try yours." "OK, but not the ice cream." "It's meant to be with ice cream." "I told you not to!" "Yum." "Yours is good too." "Really?" "I like yours better." "Enjoying yourselves?" "No, we're not." "Have you decided?" "Not yet." "Get serious." "I am serious." "How can you be serious with those party drinks?" "You think you're right?" "Don't ask." "Of course I'm right." "OK." "I've decided that we will help raise the baby." "Oh, really?" "What's going on?" "I thought that's what you wanted." "No." "I'll raise it by myself." "Give me child support and you two can marry." " Katsufumi owns half of it." " Half of what?" "The baby." "I want to play with my own baby though." " Are you stupid?" " No!" "Why say that?" "You sound stupid!" "You wanted me to abort." "But that's killing." " Right." " That's cruel...!" "Wait!" "That was your idea." "No!" "I said it, but I wasn't thinking." "Think before you speak." "Are you right about that?" "Yes I am!" "Why are you asking me, you idiot!" "I'm not." "Stop calling me that." "There must be a way for us all to be happy." "You're right." "There would have been if it wasn't for him." "Don't blame him." "You were also careless." "It takes 2 to make a baby." "That's right." "So you're equally responsible." "Let's not argue." "What I want is simple." "I want to raise the baby with his financial support." "Do you think he's capable of that?" "It's clear that I'll be the one providing support." "That is only if you marry him." "Besides money I'd like to teach the child how to be strong and about life..." "Shut up." "OK." " Can we talk?" " Why?" "Can we talk privately?" "You talked before." "She was on her phone." "We can talk here." "Not with him around." "I'll restrict my comments." "They still complicate matters." " Let's go outside." " Don't touch me." "I don't need help." "I'll be back, Katsufumi." "Where to?" "We can talk while we walk." " Hey." " You are early." "No problem." "What's the time?" "Thanks." " Katsuo, where's your cell?" " It's dead." "Not paid up?" "What's up?" " You know..." " Your friend?" " Who?" " A friend's in hospital." " Where?" " At our University Hospital." "Yeah?" "They can't operate so she won't live long." "I don't know what to say to her." "It must be hard." "She's a girl?" "4 years younger." " I'm going to the bathroom." " Yeah, me too." "Is the meeting here?" " We can go to the Club room." " No." "Why not?" " Oribe is there." " Who?" "Nana used to go out with him." "I don't mind." "But... you know." " Anyway, I'm going to toilet - on" "Me too." "I'll come too." "You just went!" "Are you keeping a record?" "That I remember!" "Katsuo, take a look at this." " What is it?" " A minutes report." " Thank you." " Read it." " Did you put the cactus inside?" " Why?" "It'll rain later." "Really?" "I asked you to bring it indoors." "Sorry." "You apologized so I'll drop it" " It rains in a desert, too." " It's a desert because it doesn't." "Kaori, what do you want?" "What do you want of Katsufumi?" "I want nothing of him!" "Then why do you want the baby?" "That's unrelated." "Wrong!" "It's Katsufumi's baby too." "Yes, but it wasn't planned." "Why have it then?" "Out of pity..." "For who?" "For the baby." "What can I say to that?" "But without money, I'd have to work and take care of it." "It sounds hard." "Where are we going?" "Nowhere really." "So we're not going anywhere?" "I thought it'd make it easier to talk." "Want a sip of Deep Sea Water?" "No." "Want to sit down and talk?" "Let's find a park." "Her tits were jiggling." "You should have gone with the police." "No, it's too much trouble." "You won't get compensated if you walk off." "With so many dead, I wouldn't get compensated." "Their families would come first." "No one gets compensated for feeling nauseous." "Right." "I feel like I'm going to faint." "It might be a bad sign if you feel faint." "I think there's a hospital that way." "Let's go." "Yes." "You'll make it." "Sorry, Dr. Fish." "You're here for fun..." "It's OK, I like being with you, Yama-san." "It's not your fault." "You didn't crash the train." "Thanks." "Stop it." "Come on." "Hi." "You grew your hair." "This is some place!" "I got lost." "It's been along time." "This is where you work." " Yes." " Good." "How did you find me?" "I asked your mother." "You met her?" "I told you to leave us alone." "Right..." "What do you want?" "I wanted to see you." "You've met me, so go." "Well... we should also discuss the future." "Hello." "Am I interrupting you?" "It's OK." "He's leaving." "Hello." "He's my brother." "Your brother!" "Hi, my name is Naito." "You work with Maki?" "Nice to meet you." "Aren't you leaving?" "Goodbye." "I'll wait outside for you to finish." "I don't want you to wait." "Wait..." "I forget!" "I got those sweets you love." "No, thank you!" "I hate sweets." "I'll be in contact, okay?" "OK I have the same cell phone number." " Bye." " Right." "Take care, Maki." "Take care of what?" "Sorry." "Oh, it's fine." "Things are insane for the surgeons." "They're at the site." "What caused it?" "I'm not sure, but I heard that the driver collapsed." "Was it a stroke?" "I think so." "He was still young." "If we were nearer to Sakamuke station it would have been like an Army hospital." "I know." "You don't look like siblings." "We have different mothers." "Is he out now?" " I guess so." " Will you live together?" "No." "You saw what he's like." "Even Mum won't live with him." "Was he a father figure to you?" "Only when we were young." "You can talk to me any time." "OK, thank you." "I can give you my e-mail address." "No, ifs OK" "Long texts are easier to read on the PC than the cell phone..." "That's right..." "Are you here for a reason?" "Am I needed?" "Yes, because of the staff shortage." "Right." "I'll join you after I input some data." "Great." "Maki?" "Maybe later." "Yes?" "See you later." " Hello." " Hi." "Sorry to bother you, but is Katsuo here?" "He's not working today." "Oh, really." "I got worried because of the train accidents." "I've been calling him with no success." "Would his phone be off?" "The lines are busy after the accidents." "Oh, I see." "He's probably somewhere on campus." "I guess so." "Can I serve you something?" "No, thank you." "I'm OK." "See you later." " By the way..." " Yes." "Thank you for being nice to my son." "You have to put up with him being slow." "Thank you." "It's nothing, really..." "If I see him I'll tell him to contact you." "Thanks." "Next time I'll stay for tea." "Sure." "Goodbye." " Waiter." " Yes." "How is the brown sugar used in the Brown Sugar Sundae?" "Sir...?" "Do you use brown sugar instead of white?" "We use brown sugar jelly and it has brown sugar syrup on top." "Oh?" "Would you like to try it?" "No, thank you." "Maki, wait." "Hi, Miki." "Did you see Dr. Naito?" "No." "Is anything wrong?" "Come with me." "What's wrong?" "Something happened..." "I think Mum's dead." "What?" "She's dead." "It looks like Mum's dead." "Wait a minute..." "Where's Nana?" "Talking to a friend." "She'll be here soon." "Do you live together?" " No." " Oh..." "You called Nana by her first name." " I guess I did." " You don't remember." " I don't say her name." " True." "I often call people by their first names." "I call you Match, instead of Kondo." " That's a nickname." " But still..." " I don't mind at all." " I know." "Did you use the hospital elevator?" "No!" "I pressed the button, but it didn't come." "Maybe it only comes at 2am like in the urban myth." "So it's true!" "I don't know, but it was weird." "Some in-patients in the smoking area also knew about the elevator and sublevel 3." "Wow." "They have too much time on their hands!" "How about the more immediate ones?" "The doctors, nurses and staff." "You know..." "The woman in charge of my friend didn't know much about the hospital." "Sweet and sour kelp?" " No, thanks." " I will." "I don't think she's a doctor." "Each patient's assigned a doctor, nurse and a clerk." "A clerk?" "They seem to take care of the patient's necessities." "Know him?" " No." "But isn't he the one?" " What?" " The pop idol." " From The Orient Express?" " What's that?" " A pop idol group." "That's him?" "Yes, the one enrolled here." "What did she say?" " Who?" " The clerk." " She laughed." " She knows something." "Someone like that knows nothing." "Only the ones assigned to select good subjects for sublevel-3." "Good subjects?" " Good for experiments." " That's your theory?" "According to the most reliable rumour military viral experiments are conducted on sublevel-3 by the US Intelligence who can't do it at home." "They chose a country hospital to do it in secrecy." "How far-fetched." "More convincing than rumours about aliens and zombies." "They're all the same." "So aliens and zombies exist?" "Maybe it's an immortality experiment." "The failed subjects become zombies." "But zombies are technically immortal." "It's just a rumour I heard." "We're here to figure out the truth behind the rumours." "You're right." "And Match loves zombies." "Quite true." "Really." "Are zombies related to voodoo?" "It doesn't have to be zombies." "Are you OK?" " Something is hidden." " You sure?" "In the sublevel-3." "I think they're hiding something too." "Are you OK?" " It's the kelp." " Silly you." "They're hiding something and the hospital is..." "Yes?" "The hospital profits from hiding it." "Maybe ifs a tax evasion scheme." "Boring!" "If we disclosed it we can start our own urban myth." "That would be in the news." "Are you OK?" "She must have kelp particles in her throat." "Glutamate?" "Nana?" "Are you OK, Nana?" "Hey, Nana." "Nana?" "Pray!" "Nana..." "Come on." "Nana, this isn't funny." "Hey." "What's going on?" "This can't be happening..." "Wait!" "Match!" " It's Ryoko's wedding." " So?" "We're her friends so let's make an effort." "And we have to dance?" " Any ideas?" " Do you want to dance?" "No, I don't." "But sometimes you just have to dance." "Ryoko's like a soul mate to me." "Even if she outdid me by graduating first and getting engaged." "I don't know how you feel about her." "She's a good friend." "Same here." "See?" "So we should dance." "Are you our choreographer, Eiko?" "I can do that." "You will...?" " Will we wear white paint?" " What?" "White body paint..." "You know, like that performance you did in the common room." "That's right!" " In that style?" " You liked that?" "I think it's too..." "Too artistic for the occasion." "So you want something pop?" "Something like a kimono striptease would be..." "That's difficult!" "It requires precision not to reveal too much." "So maybe we should go for something more ordinary." "Of course." "Anyway why don't we start?" " I'm still eating." " We're out of time." "Okay." "Are you ready?" " For what?" " Here we go." "Where?" "Sing and dance on cue." "But we can't dance." "That's right." "OK, just copy me then." "Okay..." "Ready?" "Trois!" " Sing." " I can't." "French songs are hard without music." "It's easy!" "You sing then." "Not by myself!" "I only remember the refrain." "Just sing the refrain then." " It's meaningless..." " It's not." "Come on." "Trois!" "When do we start?" "Right here." "Trois!" "Sorry..." "Trois!" "But... why don't you start singing?" "It's up to me?" "I'll say Now and you sing." "I'll sing too." "OK." "I need the lyrics." " Can we go?" " Sorry." "OK then." "Ready?" "One, two, now!" "Ryoko and Katsufumi, may your future be happy..." "Just married!" "And now!" "Ryoko and Katsufumi, may your future be happy..." "Forever!" "What's that?" "Do this." "Forever..." "But if you're holding the microphone you'd get like..." "OK, I see." "For-ever..." "Let's try it." "The Ryoko song, now!" "Ryoko and Katsufumi, may your future be happy..." "Just married!" "Too slow!" "Andre, perfect." "Again." "One, two, now!" "Ryoko and Katsufumi, may your future be happy..." "Forever!" "Very funny, Enari." "Let's be serious!" "We can raise our fists after the twirl." "How?" "Forever..." "It's too snappy." "I want it more French." "I want ennui." "You don't go for ennui at a wedding..." "Then let's reach up like this..." "Spin once then" "How did you do that?" "Watch me." "Move your hands gently..." "That makes it much more ennui!" "Let's try." "Enari, you too." "And now!" "Forever!" "Enari, that's too ennui." "Are you OK?" "Enari...?" "I guess I moved too suddenly..." " Are you OK?" " I'm fine." " That's wrong, Andre." " How?" "It's way too jerky." "Soft and ennui." "Wait a minute..." "Enari?" "You want some bread?" "No, thank you!" "Are you okay?" "What's going on?" "Are you hungry?" "I'm fine." "What's happening?" "I'm just... never mind me!" "I do mind..." " Never mind!" " I do!" "She should eat." "Doctor!" "Doctor!" "You really want a doctor?" "Get a doctor!" "Enari, are you okay?" "I can't breathe...!" "Enari..." "Enari?" "Andre?" "Help me..." "Andre...?" "Andre?" "Sir?" "Are you OK?" "It's not what it looks like..." "What's that?" "Are you OK?" "You want an ambulance?" "Sir!" "Will you be OK?" "Sir, excuse me." "What now?" "What should I do?" "Manager!" " We have to call a doctor." " She was dead!" "Why did you run?" "What about you!" "I wouldn't dare to be alone with her!" "No way!" "Nana..." "Nana!" "Nana!" "Stay here." "What's going on?" "I don't know." "Is medical malpractice behind this?" "I don't know." "It must be." "The doctors here are so slack." "I said I don't know!" "Maki, you better calm down." "Listen to me." "Leave me alone!" "Will we all die?" "Of course not" "Where are you going?" " I have to check." " But..." "Stay here, I'll be back." "Let me come." "Katsufumi...?" "No..." "Katsufumi!" "Katsufumi." "Katsufumi, no...!" "It's too late." "He's dead." "No, Katsufumi won't die!" "Katsufumi, don't die!" "Katsufumi, live!" "Please!" "What's going on?" "Everyone's dying..." "Now what?" "I'll die next to Katsufumi." "Goodbye." "How are you going to die?" "How?" "What will you die of?" "I don't know, but everybody's dying." "Everybody in town will die." "No!" "They're all dying!" "We're still alive." "Not for much longer." "But you hardly know him and he's dead now!" "What's the point?" "There is no point." "I just love him." "But you hardly know him!" "That's why I love him!" "But... we should try to do something to survive." "I won't." "You can go." "Alright." "Katsuo?" "Katsuo, dear?" "It's OK..." "Katsuo." "Katsuo, dear?" " Maybe it was kelp poisoning." " What?" " Where was it from?" " Beats me!" "How about us?" "Nana was killed." " I don't know!" " You said it!" "I didn't say she was killed." "Now what?" "I don't know." " I'm going." " Wait!" " Let go!" " Don't!" "It's scary here!" "I'm going home to consult Mum." " How about Nana?" " Call the police." "The police...!" " Is it 911?" " Sounds right." " What will I say?" " They'll ask questions." " I once stole a scooter..." " So what!" " You call." " Why?" "You're smarter and older." "You have more credits." " I'm B-average." "You have glasses." " I'm farsighted!" " Who cares!" " Don't!" "I dialed it." " What will I say?" " Just talk!" " It's your cell phone!" " Pick it up!" "Well?" " Cut it out!" " It's busy." "It's busy." "Did you dial correctly?" " It's a busy tone" " It's 9-1-1!" " I know!" " How's the reception?" "Good." "What's going on?" " Oh, God..." " Any idea?" "Do you know anybody dependable?" "Nana was dependable!" " Who else?" " How about you?" " No." "Give me that!" " Who are you calling?" "Home!" " Oh, no, no!" " What?" "Mum's not home." " Maybe she's buying textile." " What?" "Maybe the lines are congested..." "Hello." "Hello." " You know anything?" " Pardon?" " What's going on?" " I don't know." "We walked here." "There were lots of people, many were dead." "It's awful." "They're panicking." "Oh, so are we..." "What's going on?" "Are you OK?" " What do you mean?" " His cough." "I've just got something in my throat." "What could be stuck in your throat?" "Like... skin." "Is he OK?" "I'm just nauseous after seeing the train accident" " Really?" " Why would I lie?" " Katsuo?" " What?" "You too..." "No." "Match." "He's calling you." "This is bad..." "Katsuo?" "Yama-san, let's go." "Don't go!" "Hold me..." "He wants you to hold him." "Won't I catch it?" " Is it a virus?" " There's a rumour..." "Really?" "They say that the hospital's developing biological warfare." " Oh, really?" " It's an urban myth." "Your friend." "Katsuo..." "Katsuo?" "Katsuo?" "It does seem like a virus." "What if we caught it?" "I don't know." "If we did, what would we do?" "Yeah..." "Just try to survive." " Like how?" " I don't know." "If ifs a virus, we need a hospital." "They should have something." "What do you call it, a serum?" "That's the hospital." "Let's go then." "Can I come too?" "I've got nothing else to do." " Same here." " Let's go." "I'm Kondo." " Match Kondo?" " Yes." "I'm Yamamoto." "Call me Yama-san." "He's Dr. Fish." "Hi, I'm Fish." "Hello." "OK, let's go." "Who's there?" "What are you doing?" "Just going around." "Has anything changed outside?" "Since when?" "Are people dying?" "Yes." "Why are you here?" "Oh, you know..." "I wanted something to drink." "Stay with me." "I'm dying..." "I can't see." "I'm losing my sight." "How com e?" "I don't know." "I'm scared!" "That's awful." "I'm scared!" "Who's that next to you?" "My husband." "Stay here until I die." "Eew, no!" "Why not?" "How long is it going to take?" "I don't know." "It won't take long." "I don't want to die alone." "Please, please!" "Please..." "Oh, thank you." "I'm in great pain now, but..." "I'm also a little happy." "I'm dying next to the man I love." "That makes my life seem worthwhile..." "Oh, I got some crap on my hand..." "Did you kill her?" "You saw me." "You killed her." "Yes." "Why?" "She was almost dead and in a lat of pain." "What...?" "What's going on around here?" "You work here?" "And you?" "I'm from the hospital." "Where is the toilet?" "Back there." "Nana, no..." "Are you OK?" "It's Nana..." "Nana's dead." "So are Enari and Andre." "Oh, poor you." "I'm scared." "I'm so scared." "Take it easy." "What happened?" "I don't know!" "We were dancing and they died." "Why were you dancing?" "Sometimes you just have to dance." "I see..." "And then?" "I can't get through on my phone." "Like at a fireworks show." "Which way did you come?" "How about the train station?" "I don't know." "I was here." "Are you Shoji?" "From the Orient Express?" "That's me." "What's this good for?" "It doesn't mean anything now." "Sorry." "I have no use for it!" "Sorry... oh, don't cry." "Sorry!" "No!" "What's going on?" "No!" "I'm dying!" "It's happening to me!" "Hang on!" "Come on!" "Mummy...?" "Mummy!" "I'm not your..." "Mummy, I'm sorry." "Sorry, I didn't know." "What?" "I had no idea." "I didn't know, Mummy!" "What didn't you know?" "Forgive me, Mummy." "You need help?" "Can you wait?" "Mummy." "Yes, Dear." " You mean him?" " Wait." "Everything is OK, darling." "It's my fault." "You forgive me, then?" "Of course." "Remember, Mum's always here for you." "I always will be, Darling!" "Hey, you!" "You!" "Who are you?" "Your friend?" "I'm often on TV, so she felt she knew me..." "I'm Shoji from the Orient X-Press." "Oh, right." "The Orient Express." "Right." "I was doing time..." "We weren't allowed to watch TV inside." "You're busy with work?" "No, that's not it..." "I'm looking for my sister." "How about you?" "Well I..." "I didn't know what to do so I'm just walking around." "You too?" "Excuse me." "Wait a minute!" "Is it OK leaving her like that?" "Shouldn't we bury her or something?" "In emergencies like this it's not necessary." "I'll be off now." "Hold on a second." "Sorry to bother you." "I have a bit of an issue here..." "What?" "Well..." "It's my rear end..." "Something's coming out my ass." "What's that?" "Something's coming out of my ass." "Go to the loo!" "No, it's more like something internal." " Take a look." " No!" "Please!" "No." "Oh, ifs coming out!" "Well...?" "I'm pretty sure I'm going to die." "Can you stay here with me?" "But I'm in a hurry..." "It won't belong." " Are you sure?" " Yes." "Make it quick because I'm in a hurry." "What's the hurry?" "I want to be around when my sister turns up." "Why do you want to see her?" "Don't mind about that, I just want to see her." "Your sister?" "Kind of." "She's my stepsister." "Why's that important?" "A sister is a sister." "I took care of her after her dad died." "Aren't you dying?" "Can I go?" "Wait, It won't take long!" "OK, listen." "How can I put this?" "This might be good news." "You could be recovering..." "No, no!" "Look, I'm barely breathing!" "I've really got to go." "Wait, I will go, but you can tag along." "And then on the way..." "If you need to... you can die, I wouldn't mind." "I'll watch over you." "But I can hardly walk..." "I don't want to be rude, but..." "you're kind of selfish." "But I'm almost dying here!" "I hear you, but I might also die any minute." "And you're wasting my time and life." "Maybe life sounds a bit much..." "But I think it's fair to say." "But you're healthy!" "No, that's wrong." "I have a stomachache and a migraine." "You liar!" "But I really can't wait around." "You either come with me and die at your leisure." "Or you do it now, here." "Or you deal with it by yourself." "No, it's not fair." "Please!" "Sorry." "I didn't handle this well, did I?" "Good luck!" "No, it's coming!" "Wait, please!" "I can't hold it!" "Do you have a towel?" "You're very strong." "No, I'm not." "Well, see you." "Where are you going?" "Don't know." "Wherever you go, everybody's dead." "I'll go to the sea." "What?" "To the sea." "Why?" "Well..." "Everyone's dying." "Yeah." "We might die too." "What's new about that?" "We all die eventually." "I know but..." "we've done nothing bad." "But we'll still end up dying." "What's at the sea?" "Nothing in particular." "I just want to see it." "Bye." "Can I come too?" "Sorry but no." "Why?" "I want to be alone." "Nobody wants to be alone now." "I do." "Why?" "That's how I am." "Then I'll just walk behind you." "How far?" "How far behind me?" "What distance is good for you?" "100 yards." "That's so far." "50 yards then." "I want to be closer." "Then I wouldn't feel alone." "I know what you mean but..." "I want some company right now." "I know you want to be alone, but I don't." "We can keep a safe distance apart so you feel alone." "How far is that?" "Well..." "I don't know." "Here?" "Oh... now I don't feel alone." "You sure?" "If you question me, I start feeling alone." "How about here?" "Now I don't feel alone." "That's it then." "OK." "Where are you going?" "To the sea." "It's far." "I know." " That's why you're called Dr. fish!" " Right." "Only close friends can call him Dr. fish." "That's not true." "I don't mean that those who call me Dr. Fish are not close." " Then who?" " What?" "Who's not close to you?" "For example, Muraki." "Who is Muraki?" "An old classmate." "Oh?" "From college." "We weren't close at all." "Where did you meet him?" " In the same club." " What club?" "Fishing." "Huh!" "I had no idea." "Didn't I tell you?" "Oh, I feel faint again." " Are you OK?" " Thank you." "Are you OK?" "Don't feel like you have to worry." "That's not it..." "Why not lower your head?" "Yes, and hold my feet up to help blood circulation." "Right." "Thank you." "Are you OK?" "Yes, thanks to Match who's been very kind." "I smell of fish after I touched some fish earlier..." "Like you don't always smell of fish!" "You're right..." "Are you in pain?" "Don't just stand there!" "He's in agony." "Stop it!" "OK, hang on!" "I'm a doctor." "You are?" "This is an emergency." "Yeah?" "Is a virus behind this?" "I don't know." "Without tests and due procedure it's unclear." "How long has he been like this?" "He's always like this." "Do you work at our University Hospital?" "Yes." "Are you at the Medical School here?" " Well I..." " I'm an alumnus!" " But I..." " Oh..." "Am I sick?" "Pardon?" "Am I sick?" "I don't know yet." "I feel faint." " Do you take fluids?" " Yes." " And breakfast?" " Yes." "It's gastroptosis." "So I'd be sick if I didn't eat?" "Not necessarily." "Doctor." "My heart pounds whenever I speak with people." "That's because you're shy." "I thought so." "My specialty is ENT." "So you're a ear, nose and throat specialist?" "Do you know anything?" "About what?" "Does the hospital have sublevel 1, 2 and..." "Oh, the rumour about sublevel-3?" "I've heard about that." "Is it true?" "I haven't been to sublevel-3 yet." "Oh, so it exists!" "It does." " And the US Army's virus lab?" " Pardon?" "That's what people say, it's an urban myth." "Sorry, I've never heard that but" "I heard our Director was the subject of an immortality experiment." "An elixir has resurrected him 3 times so far." "Really?" "I doubt it." "Oh, this is weird..." "I'm not doing this!" "Yama-san." "Yama-san!" "Yama-san?" "Yama-san." "Yama-san..." "Yama-san!" "Yama-san." "Yama-san...?" "I feel much better now." "You do?" "The doctor..." "Are you OK?" "The tape..." "Take this!" "What's that?" "Yes?" "Give this to Maki Endo, please!" "What?" "Who?" "If you stay here Maki Endo will come eventually..." "Live!" "I don't think I heard what he said." "Me neither." "I think he told us to give it to Maki Endo." "Why don't you stay here and give it to her?" "We don't know if Maki Endo is alive." "Right..." "I won't do it." "I don't want to, but it was his dying wish." "We don't know him!" "He's just some obnoxious..." "ENT doctor." "No!" "You should hold on to it." "What about you, Match?" "I think I'll search for the truth behind this." "How?" "I might find out something from the Hospital staff." "But this doctor didn't seem to know anything." "He wasn't a secret project material." "That's for sure." "Maybe Maki Endo knows something." "True, but it could be a waste of time." "I might die soon." "What is this thing?" "It's an audio tape." "He's probably proposing to this Maki Endo on the tape." "Way to go, Dr. Fish!" "How perceptive." "Thank you." "What's in there?" "I have a cassette player." "What for?" "I was going to record our meeting for my graduation thesis." "What are you graduating from, Match?" "What are you graduating from?" "University..." "But we'll die soon." "You think we will?" "I think so." "How about the fish?" "Poor guys if they have to die too." "They might be OK" "How com e?" "Because fish are..." "Well, the birds seem OK" "The virus only affects people..." "That sounds right." "Now I feel hopeful." "Katsuo?" "Katsuo dear?" "Darling?" "Katsuo." "Katsuo!" "No, no, you can't!" "Katsuo, Katsuo!" "Katsuo dear, don't!" "What are you doing?" "Wake up, come on!" "Katsuo!" "No, no!" "Katsuo!" "Sorry to interrupt, but I think I'm dying." "You nearly died before, but you didn't." "My stomach hurts...!" "Maybe you should go to the toilet?" "That's not it!" "Yama-san?" "Don't leave me behind!" "Dr. Fish..." "Toshinori." "I'm so happy I met You" "Live!" "Yama-san!" "Yama-san!" "Can you touch them?" "Can you touch his eyelids?" "Should I?" "Yes, if you want his eyes closed." "Can you do it that way?" "How else would you do it?" "I thought the dead had involuntary movement so the lids would close." "Oh, I see..." "I'll die with my eyes closed then." "Fish have no eyelids so they die with their eyes open." "Order a sashimi boat and you'll see." "I knew about that" "You did?" "Hello." "Hi." "Have you been here long?" "How long?" "I don't know." "About 5 or 10 minutes?" "That's right." "Did you see a young woman in a hospital gown?" "No." "How about you, Dr. Fish?" "No." "I see." "Did you talk to that man?" "Yes, he was a doctor." "I know." " Oh, you knew him?" " Yes, kind of." "Ms. Ando!" "It's Endo." "Dr. Fish!" "He wanted you to have this." "You can use this to play it." "What is this?" "I don't know." "He asked us to give it to Maki Endo." "What is it?" "Allow me." "Please." "Maki, this is for you." "I didn't ask him for this...!" "What's it about?" "We'll never know." "Match?" "Are you OK?" "Hang on!" "Match!" "I don't want to die listening to some guy's weird song!" "Match!" "Mother...!" "Just once more..." "I want her warm..." "Cre...!" "What's warm Cre?" "Match!" "Maybe he wanted Cream Stew?" "He's dying and he wants something that thick and rich?" "Why not something refreshing like water?" "Maki." "Maki." "Maki." "Maki." "Maki." "Maki." "Maki!" "You know him?" "Kind of..." " Your boyfriend?" " No!" " Hi." " Hello." "Maki, you don't have to worry anymore." "I'm here." "I'll protect you." "Let's get out of this town." "Out of here!" "Don't you know?" "What?" "It's everywhere." "It's all over the world." "Why?" "I don't know!" "Everybody dies before I can learn anything!" "Why?" "It might be a virus." "What virus?" "Some virus that was secretly developed in a US Army lab." "That's ridiculous." "That's just a stupid urban myth." "Oh, is it?" "In my undergraduate years my friend belonged to the Urban Myth Lab." "Some myths she made up for her thesis got around." "I was with her when she made up that myth." "We were at a coffee shop." "If ifs not true, why's everybody dying?" "I don't know." "All TV stations and servers are down." "Really..." "I can't keep up with the conversation..." "Everybody will die!" "No!" "Look, we're alive." "The police and military forces will come." "Why aren't they here now?" "Maybe they're preparing?" "What?" "Well..." "In the worst case the Americans will come." "Americans are dying too!" "Surely not all of them!" "It doesn't matter." "Everybody will die anyway." "It can't be..." "So the Americans won't come?" "Hey, do you want to rest?" "I'm fine." "Hi." "Hi." "I've got it, damn!" "Sorry..." "I guess I should decide on my last words..." "You know like what the others said before they died." "I know what I want to say." "Already?" "Tell us then." "I'm not going to say it now." "If you die last, nobody will be around to hear." "OK, suppose I die last" "I'll tell the second to last one when he or she's dying." "That's ridiculous." "It can't be avoided." "What will you say?" "I need inspiration." "But I don't want to give it away." "Do not say anything about me." "I will say something about fish." "You like fish?" "Yes." "To eat?" "That too, but I also like them as friends." "So you eat your friends!" "That's not how it goes." "I mean, it is but..." "It's morally complicated for me." " I don't get it." " That's too bad." "Excuse me if you will." "If you don't mind...?" "What's wrong?" "Sorry, but it looks like I've got it." "I don't want to be rude, but if you don't mind..." "I'd like to die just with her." "Please?" "We're siblings!" " OK, Brother." " No..." "We're brother and sister." "No resemblance." "Sorry, but I want to be alone with her." "Let me die with her." "Oh, you want me to go?" "Right, hurry!" "But I might die in the meantime." "You're not part of my family!" "Don't be selfish!" "I don't want to be alone when you die." "OK then." "Maki." "What?" "I've been a bad, bad brother to you." "Yes." "So what?" "Maki." "I've been a bad brother to you..." "He?"" "Hey, don't go!" "His last words were too long to deliver." "I already knew that you were a bad brother!" "I think he was about to contradict that" "He wanted to say, "I was a bad brother, but... "" "It was too much to say when he was dying." "It had to be snappier." "You can't say so much." "Umm..." "Will you go out with me?" "Will you go out with me?" "No, I won't." "Oh, on" "The world will be beautiful without people." "Oh... it's that man." "Yes?" "It's him..." "You knew my brother?" "Yes, kind of." "What's wrong?" "Well, ifs my... uh..." "Yes?" "Something's coming out of my ass..." "Can you stay with me please?" "I'm about to die." "No problem." "Thank you." "Can you hold my hand?" "Focus." "OK." "Don't stare, it makes me self-conscious." "I should be used to being watched..." "What's that?" "I'm always being looked at in my profession." "I don't get it." "That's the kind of work I do." "I don't get it." "I'll give you a hint." "But that might give it away..." "Can you concentrate?" "I think it's my turn..." "No!" "Don't make me the last!" "I'll do my best to live." "I'll try to hang on." "Okay, I'll concentrate." "Thank you." "I don't want to be the last!" "How's it going?" "Good!" "I think I'm almost there." "Can I go?" " Can I go?" "What?" "Excuse me." "I thank you, world!" "I was going to say that!" "Bummer..." "Too bad." "Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go too." "Can't you hold on?" "No." "Could you hold my hand if you don't mind?" "Hold it please..." "Oh, somehow I feel better now." "Ms. Endo." "Ms. Endo?" "Can you go out with me?" "Can you go out with me, Ms. Endo?" "No!" "It hurts..." "Hing on!" "It hurts..." "Hang on, you'll make it!" "Ms. Endo." "Yama-san!" "Yamamoto!" "Yamamoto!" "Yama-san, come back to life!" "Come on, live again!" "Please live again..." "Ah... it hurts..." "I... thank you... world." "And fish!" "It's quiet." "It is." "Do you like the sea?" "I'm not exactly sure, but I think I like it." "Where?" "Where do you like?" "Akashi." "Ah, yeah." "Oh, really." "My family took a trip to Akashi beach." "Then I was hospitalized and learned I'd never recover." "My family kept it from me, but I knew." "But death didn't come quickly." "And just when I was going to die everybody started dying." "It's not scary if everybody dies." "Really?" "Think about it." "When I die it's the end of the world for me." "So when the world ends and I'm the only one alive, it's the same thing." "Maybe, but it'd be awful if you died and there's nobody else." "Is that how it goes?" "I don't know." "Is the sea far from here?" "Yes." "We haven't walked far." "Why are you with me?" "Well..." "I don't like to be alone." "I don't get it." "Well, OK." "Do you know her?" "Kill me, kill me..." "Kill me!" "Kill me!" "Stop it!" "Shut Up!" "Katsuo..." "Katsuo!" "Katsuo!" "Katsuo!" "Katsuo, dear!" "Did you kill her?" "You're amazing..." "I'm not." "I don't know what to make of this..." "I can't breathe..." " Are you okay?" " Help..." "Help!" "ISN'T ANYONE ALIVE"
