Original subtitles

You don't know how painful this is. Do you'?

I've already had this 3 times this month.

I can't get up.

You know the pain'? Nah, it's much worse.

You can't imagine how painful it is.

It's only natural that you want to protect what you love.

Dogs on chains.

Fish in aquariums.

Birds in cages.

But people don't understand...

how these animals actually feel.

I didn't either, until that day.

SHADY

Morning!

- Wow, she's loud. - Feeling fresh in the morning, huh'?

Bullying Questionnaire

1. ls someone in your class being bullied?

Dye your hair back to black.

It's my natural hair colour.

The family waited 2 weeks to request a search.

At least her parents bothered to ask for a search.

I'd search desperately if my daughter didn't come home all night.

I didn't know you had a daughter.

How old is she'?

She hasn't been born yet.

I have to get married first!

I'd be so depressed if my daughter was as bad as this.

One more volunteer, please.

It's the 29th today, so student No. 29.

Asshole.

You know Aya's missing right'?

Well, I didn't mean to...

Well, I didn't mean to'? Shut up.

Hey, Pooh.

Pooh.

Pooh'? Hello'?

You can answer for Aya.

She always takes good care of you.

Miss Kumada, will you'?

Do you like the new aquarium'?

What'?

There's no honey here, Pooh.

I'm bad at math too.

This is tomorrow's exam'?

The real one'?

Yup, the real thing.

Wait. What're you...

Don't worry!

He'!-

Ouch.

I fainted once.

From period pains?

It hurt to death.

I couldn't say a word and nobody noticed.

Then, something snapped in my mind.

Something snapped'?

Don't worry. That pressure point really works.

It's called San-in-ko.

When you press it hard...

How did you get the exam paper'?

Mr. Kurita gave it to me.

I paid for it, of course.

How much did you pay'?

I didn't pay money. I gave him some service.

I knew it was going to rain.

Do you have an umbrella'?

I don't.

I have a large umbrella we can share.

It's gone.

I swear I brought it today. It's a new, red one...

I'm not lying.

Maybe it was stolen...

Let's go. We can share this umbrella.

Come on!

Napoleon said that only 2 forces drive people, fear and interest.

What's Napoleon got to do with Mr. Kurita?

Nothing. One was an emperor and the other is a part-time teacher.

I'm just saying you need to give fear or interest to gain something.

That's why...

I gave him a date as interest.

And that's how you got the exam paper.

Who knows what people want as their interest.

Did you show me the exam paper to ask for interest back as well'?

You don't have friends, right'?

I can see that.

'Cause I don't either.

You don't have friends either'?

Did you think Marina and I were playing in the toilet the other day?

I had the same lipstick as her.

She was like, "Who do you think you are, bitch!"

That makes no sense, right'?

I'm sorry.

I should've helped you that day.

Yeah, you should have.

You could easily kick her ass with your big body!

Just kidding. I guess you won't.

I'm sorry...

If you want me to forgive you,

can you give me your...

Can we exchange our mobile numbers'?

Mobile numbers'?

Sure. OK.

Show me your mobile.

This is for you.

It's so cute.

Thanks.

Let's go.

Other students were jealous of Izumi Kiyose 'cause she was pretty.

And because I was ugly,

the other students despised me.

I thought we were completely different,

but realised that we lived with the same loneliness and pain.

Somehow, that made me happy.

I dropped my rubber.

Mendel conducted a hybrid experiment using peas.

And he discovered the Law of Inheritance.

This next part is really important.

I'm the only one in the biology club.

So the school won't give me a large budget.

You really earned this aquarium then.

Lucky you.

Kintaro.

That's his name'?

Yeah.

Kintaro...

Was it OK that I fed him yesterday?

Oh, that was you'?

It's no problem. I'm glad you fed him.

Thanks.

I wish I was a bear, just like my family name "Kumada".

A bird or fish is OK too.

Of all animals, I like humans the least.

Me too.

You're an exception, OK?

What's wrong'?

Sorry, I need to go...

I see you're having fun lately

I like your fringe.

I said I like your fringe.

Um, thanks.

Um, thanks.

It looks ugly, of course.

"Izumi Kiyose killed Aya Nishio"

Scatter this around the school.

That slut is full of herself,

just because she's a bit pretty.

- Don't you have to go? - Huh?

Mr. Ninomiya said he wanted to see you after class.

Oh, that. It doesn't matter.

I told him that my old calligraphy teacher died

and I had to go to her funeral.

Shouldn't you go to the funeral then'?

It's a lie.

I know why he wanted to talk to me.

I bet someone said in the questionnaire that I was being bullied.

I hate that. My parents would be worried if they found out.

Wasn't my choice of the old calligraphy teacher cool'?

Grandma would've been too obvious.

It's important who you "kill."

All done.

Putting blush on the highest point of your cheek makes you pretty.

I see...

Can I ask a weird question?

Something sexual?

I was just wondering. Do you realise you're pretty?

Yup, I do.

I thought so, just like I know I'm not pretty.

You won't deny it?

Did you want me to'?

No, I'm glad you didn't.

Are humans the same as peas'?

Huh?

Oh, that genetics class?

I thought about it during class and concluded it's not our fault.

I was just born as a chihuahua. And you were born as a bulldog.

A bulldog?

It's just a figure of speech.

You're fast.

You're fast.

Go for it.

Did the cute chihuahua do something wrong'?

Did the ugly bulldog do something wrong'?

Wow. No hesitation in calling me ugly.

You didn't like it'?

Actually, it wasn't that bad!

Wait up.

I haven't laughed like this in ages.

But you're always smiling.

It's fake.

The lies I say to protect myself are my weapons.

Lies for protecting yourself'?

But I'll never lie to you.

Me neither.

Mm.

Izumi.

See you tomorrow, Misa.

I'll see you off.

You're too pretty to walk alone at night.

Huh?

Your phone rings a lot lately.

Really?

I don't think so.

"Izumi Kiyose killed Aya Nishio"

Of course I'm scared of Marina.

But I couldn't do it.

It had always been impossible for me to change.

But I was starting to change.

What makes a person change is an other person.

The lies I say to protect myself are my weapons, right'?

How is it?

It's good.

Thanks.

It's yours.

It's so cute.

Was it OK? We didn't get their permission.

They leave loads of tangerines lying around every year.

Taking a few's fine.

You smoke'?

- No, I don't. - You are now!

But you shouldn't, alright?

Why not?

Why can't I'?

Well...

It's bad for your health,

and it doesn't suit you.

I've always wanted to try this.

But it's more fun doing it with someone.

Wait. Are you serious'?

You can have this.

Kiyose, we need to talk.

Wait! Kiyose!

Pervert

My bike got stolen.

Oh no.

The secrets we shared tightened our friendship,

or that's how I felt.

Wheel

Huh'? You like baked potatoes?

Thanks.

I've got something to show you.

You too?

What, you as well. You're joking.

This is so childish!

- Yeah. - It's ridiculous.

This is so stupid.

Unbelievable.

It's almost funny!

Here, your bike.

Take it.

Huh?

The bike. Take it.

I was going to buy a new one anyway.

Even if so, I can't take it.

It's yours, honestly.

No.

I couldn't possibly...

That's ours then.

What's mine is yours too.

'Cause we're best friends.

That's right.

She said we're best friends.

From Izumi." 7220 cute to eat!

Do you puppies know who's gonna be your owner?

That'll determine the rest of your life.

That's true.

"My dog was hit by a car 'cause I didn't have him on a lead."

“I wanted him to be free to run around.“

"I couldn't stand keeping him tied."

That's what Izumi told me.

I'm sorry. I suddenly remembered.

I was so frightened.

It's a really nice house.

Don't let appearances fool you.

Come in!

Sorry about the mess. My parents both work, you see.

You put soy sauce on yogurt?

You want some'?

I'm fine, thanks.

It looks disgusting, but it tastes good.

You're pretty unique.

Am w.

You're always drinking milk as well.

Oh, that.

Lack of calcium makes you stressed. That's why.

I see...

What is it'?

Stop it.

Don't move.

Wait...

Thanks.

For the pedicure, I mean!

Better than doing it on your own, right'?

- We're trying to make you pretty - You smell disgusting.

You're filthy.

That's why I can't use that.

This is the perfume Aya uses.

Since she went missing,

I've pretended to be worried in class.

But to be honest,

I'm glad she's gone.

Even just smelling the same perfume

makes me sick.

I was actually close to Aya until junior high.

I even helped her study for the high school entrance exam.

I was planning to go to another high school.

But decided to come to our school because of Aya.

I made her a lucky charm for the entrance exam.

She looked so happy

and said, "Thanks."

Well, that's it.

But that made me really happy.

But why?

- Why's Aya bullying you now'? - I don't know why.

Maybe it's that Napoleon saying about fear and interest.

She probably thought about it,

and figured it was better to be with Marina than me.

Yeah, I bet she thought that.

But they always talk behind each other's backs.

That's not a real friendship.

Don't you think she's a terrible singer?

That's...

exactly what I thought!

You thought so, too?

She's terrible.

- How can she sing in the classroom? - I know!

You can't even tell what song it is.

It's horrible.

She's probably trying to give a concert.

The problem is she's so loud but out of tune.

- She probably doesn't realise. - She thinks she's good.

- That's why she sings in class. - Ouch!

Use this.

Thanks.

Misa!

You left this.

You came to give me this'?

I thought you'd need it.

Thanks.

Can we walk home together tomorrow'?

Tomorrow'?

I need to clean Kintaro's aquarium.

OK.

Over 500 people are filed as missing every day in this tiny country.

That's how many people are loved by their families.

I doubt it.

She probably wanted to run away from her loveless family.

What makes you care so much about that case'?

What's her name'? Aya Nishio?

She has my ex's eyes.

Wow. Lucky you.

You're in love'? I'm hopeless.

I haven't been in love for like 5 years.

Well, I'm talking about my ex from 20 years ago.

You're totally committed.

Hey, how's "it" going?

Do you realise you'll pay for that'?

You're lonely 'cause your best friend's gone missing.

What're you two doing'?

I'm sorry...

I wanted to clean the aquarium as a surprise.

I wanted to hear your "thanks"

and see you smile.

I'm such an idiot.

Whenever I try to help, I just mess up.

I'm so sorry.

Please forgive me.

I know the aquarium was brand new.

Izumi apologized several times.

She said, "Sorry I broke the aquarium."

But she never apologized for killing Kintaro.

If only she'd put him in a cup,

he would've lived.

Where's the charm I gave you'?

I left it at home 'cause it scratches the surface of my mobile.

So what'?

Huh?

Let's go.

Why did you take it off?

- Like I said, it scratches... - It's not your choice.

You must keep it on.

100 yen, please.

This mascara is really good.

This one's yours.

I can't see how this'll make me pretty.

I'll show you how to use it.

That's not what I meant.

I meant with this mascara,

a stolen mascara.

It's the same thing.

No, it's not.

It's totally different.

Wow, you're like a poet.

You were happy to eat the stolen tangerines.

Misa.

It's so cute.

What's its name'?

Chunta.

It's a "h e" again...

Well, he's a male.

So, it's a "he."

Hey, let me keep this bird.

What'?

Just for a week.

What're you talking about?

Let me keep Chunta for a bit.

- You don't lend pets... - Just lend it to me.

I think it was since this incident...

If it's yours,

then both of us can use it. Right?

I started to feel scared of Izumi.

Misa?

- My pen broke. Let's go to the shop. - Sorry.

I have to go today.

OK. Never mind.

I'm sorry.

Chunta!

He's doing well.

Misa, can I ask you to go shopping for me'?

Sure you can,

but can I say no?

How is it?

It's so good.

Glad you like it.

I didn't know what you liked with rice.

It's really good.

Try the fried chicken.

Hmm. Delicious!

I'm so happy you liked it.

I'm real glad.

Chirp chirp.

How could I do such a thing?

Turning Chunta into fried chicken?

That's way too cruel.

You chirped like Chunta...

I'm sure that chicken once chirped too

before it was cooked.

You're so cruel.

Chicken is delicious as long as it's not Chunta.

Sorry.

But I guess that's love.

Would you spit me out if I was cooked'?

I bet you won't even notice and say, "Mmm, delicious."

Don't even think about such a thing.

Just one slap.

Huh?

One slap.

Punishment for suspecting me.

Or I can't forgive you.

I was shocked that

you didn't trust me.

That made me really sad.

OK.

I do this because I love you.

Misa slapped me, then stroked my cheek with that same hand.

She was the one who slapped me, but she wouldn't stop crying.

The pain didn't last long.

But something still hurts.

I couldn't stop crying, either.

Welcome to the "White House."

Whose house is it'?

Obama's, of course!

That's my American joke.

Hurry Misa, help me.

Who are we waiting for'?

Putin.

And that's my Russian joke!

I gotta pee. Be right back.

Chunta?

Misa?

Something stinks...

Oh yeah, it's Chunta.

He doesn't smell like this.

You said there's a smell. Well, you can't smell it now.

You're not allowed into this room.

Let's go.

Come on.

Damn, you saw her.

Can I add the prawns now'?

Why?

You don't like prawns?

I'm talking about Aya, not the prawns.

Explain it to me.

Taking care of pets is hard.

They need to be fed, they poop and cry.

You need to love them to look after them.

Hey, welcome back.

I'm home.

We're gonna have dinner with Misa tonight.

- It's freezing outside. - I know.

You know what'? Today's menu is hot pot!

Really? Sounds great.

You did well in the math exam.

Did I?

Yay! I'm a genius.

Because I told you the answers.

You're not supposed to say that.

- Do you want a beer'? - Thanks.

God, it looks great.

We're treating ourselves to prawns tonight.

- I love prawns. - I know.

Although I'm allergic to them.

- Really? - Yeah, but I love them.

You've got to be careful.

Cheers!

Mr. Kurita?

What are you doing'?

Remember I told you about fear and interest moving people'?

This is his fear.

Look at this.

A kiss shot.

He's scared.

He would definitely be fired if they found out.

You wanna see sexier ones'?

This one's over the top.

You helped her because of these pictures?

Mr. Kurita!

Do you have any idea what...

Shut up! I'm eating a prawn.

Shut your mouth.

It's so hot,

I need to concentrate.

Shit, it's too hot.

Please answer me when you're done.

You can't lure him with prawns.

This is his interest.

Don't you think he's pathetic? He can't control his lust.

He can't see it's gonna ruin his life.

Right?

See?

He's getting a hard-on.

He's an excellent teacher...

Well, an excellent pervert, actually.

He secretly films the female toilet...

of our school.

Isn't it shocking'?

You're really gross.

He's filmed you as well.

Let's just forget about all that and enjoy the hot pot.

Come on. It's cooked.

Take a seat.

Misa.

I said sit down.

OK, then go feed her.

You're good at feeding animals.

Here we go.

Yeah, that's what he said.

That's useless.

And then'?

Then I just went home.

That's funny.

Pooh'?

- So you went home, right'? - Yeah.

What about you'?

Huh? Me'?

Tell us, tell us.

Misa?

Are you back'?

You'll have dinner'?

Are you alright? Is it something you ate today?

Can someone solve this question?

OK. I'll write the answer.

Excuse me.

Have you got a question?

Can I go to the nurse'?

No, you can't.

You can't get away.

You can't get away.

You can't get away.

You can't get away.

You can't get away.

You can't get away.

From Izumi." I'll give Chunta back. Meet me at Kurita 's.

Izumi?

This sucks.

Kurita was trying to rape Aya when I got here.

Even I felt sorry for Aya being raped by this pervert

I tried to stop him, but he was like a dog in season and I couldn't.

Then he tried to rape me too.

He pushed me down.

Then...

I kind of lost control,

and kind of stabbed him.

I never meant to keep her here.

I just asked her to stop bullying me.

You know how teachers are useless.

So I talked to her directly.

And what did Aya say?

She said, "You're pretty and cunning."

I could stand all the bullying, but not what she said that day.

I stabbed her thigh with a pen.

Misa, do you think I'm cunning'?

Good. Of course not.

I heard milk isn't high in calcium. No wonder it hasn't worked on my stress.

What will you do now'?

Now'? It's the end.

If Kurita doesn't go to school for several days,

someone will come here and see what's happened.

You should turn yourself in.

I should'?

Remember, you're in this with me.

You agreed to feed her, but never tried to free her.

I know what it is.

You didn't want to betray me, right'?

'Cause I'm the only one you have.

Misa.

Kill Aya for me.

Kill her now, and leave with me.

I said kill her now!

She's the cause of all this.

We got envied and despised for no reason.

Remember how she made us suffer and how happy we were when she was gone'?

You forgot?

Fine.

I'll kill Aya. You kill Chunta.

Males only get in the way of girls' friendships.

She whines too much.

It's just a bird.

But it'll be the knife next if you don't shut up.

Miss Aya Nishio, be quiet please. Or I'll tell the teacher.

You're getting on my nerves.

Shut your mouth.

I said shut up!

That's a good girl.

Let's run away.

Run away with me.

No.

I'm your only friend.

Don't.

Why not?

I love you so much.

So much.

We're best friends, right'?

A best friend would never point a knife at you.

How can a best friend point a knife at you'?

Izumi threw Chunta.

And Chunta died because of that.

I'm sorry. I'll take notes from here.

We're almost done anyway.

I bet it's something you ate.

Well...

Miss. Kumada, please continue.

Do I have to repeat the next pan again?

I've already told you many times.

Yeah, but we need to be sure.

OK. I'll read the statement. Tell me if anything is inaccurate.

- Should I take notes? - No need.

We've just confirmed she threw the budgerigar.

I'll read the next pan.

Kiyose pointed a knife at you and asked you to die with her.

You were scared and ran away,

but kept slipping on the blood and struggled.

You managed to get to the entrance, but Kiyose caught you then.

You took an umbrella and

stabbed her chest.

Scared that she might attack you again,

you pushed her down and kept stabbing her.

Is this all correct?

It sounds as if it wasn't a big deal.

That's everything that happened between you and Kiyose?

And then, you came here to turn yourself in.

No.

I buried him.

Chunta.

Chunta?

Ah that bird.

He was lovely.

Yeah'?

Did you bury him deep'? Otherwise cats might dig him out.

That's fine. He's in my mind.

My heart goes out to you.

We'd like to plead self-defense at the trial,

and you will be innocent if it's accepted.

Is that ok?

I don't think it's an unreasonable affirmation.

I think the jury will understand.

But...

I'm ugly. Will they still believe me'?

Excuse me'?

This has nothing to do with your face.

I know a good pressure point for the pain..

Shall I show you'?

Sorry?

Ah. Yes, please.

What're you guys talking about?

Dogs on chains.

Fish in aquariums.

Birds in cages.

What protects me is...

"Arrested high school girl found innocent on self-defense"

Hey, Chunta.

Hey, Chunta.

Have I done this well? The make-up Izumi taught me'?

The lies I say to protect myself are my weapons, right'?

The only thing that can protect me is...

myself.
