Original subtitles

Any Vaccine cards?

No.

What are we gonna do?

What's wrong?

You look pale.

I'm fine.

Be honest.

Are you a zombie?

Yes, I am.

He was hiding it!

No! I was going to tell you.

And I remember the guy who turned me.

Let's shoot that zombie.

You're up next.

- Go kill that zombie. - What?

Have someone else do it.

He's basically just a kid.

No, you don't have to go.

That's not fair to those who dutifully used their Shotgun cards.

You think anyone here wants to kill people?

We shouldn't kill each other.

Then what about you?

You've never killed someone in a game?

We won't survive without sacrificing others.

Go.

Don't.

Arisu!

- Asshole! - Hold him down!

If you don't do it,

we'll shoot him.

Don't go.

Please, Ikeno.

There's got to be another way.

Open.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Four rounds left.

Please choose an opponent by touching them.

Took long enough!

I know.

Did you do it?

Yes.

Well done.

Round of applause. Go on!

Well done.

Where's Nobu?

He said he'd be right back.

Nobu?

- Hey! - Look.

Let me go!

He turned that brat into a zombie.

"That brat"?

You mean Nobu?

That's right.

Nobu...

Where'd he go?

I saw him walking alone.

That bastard.

Bring him here!

- Okay! - Got it!

People are starting to hide the fact that they've turned.

Like that bastard, Masato, and that brat, Nobu.

There could be more zombies among us.

You're right.

I don't trust some of you.

No.

Not me.

He's a drug user

suffering from withdrawal.

The person who started this group, Rei, is a zombie.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen her around.

She might be a spy for the zombies.

What?

Does she really have a Vaccine card?

What if it was all a lie?

What if she came here to make more zombies?

The game's almost over.

Let's get rid of our zombies too.

We'll just shoot them all.

No, don't.

That hurts!

Hey!

Stop!

He's making a run for it!

Hey!

I've been looking for you. I need a favor.

What is it?

Would you use your Vaccine card on me?

There he is!

Don't run!

Stop it!

- Stand up! - Three rounds left.

Please choose an opponent by touching them.

These guys...

Shoot 'em all!

Stand up.

Please place your cards.

Nobu.

You're a zombie.

What?

I can tell.

Listen.

Do exactly as I say.

Unfortunately, the zombies have spread even more than you guys think.

You might be better off as a zombie too.

How would you know that?

People have feelings, which makes it difficult to kill others.

And they'll hesitate to use their precious Vaccine card on others.

Zombies rapidly multiply while they hold on to their cards.

Once you've been turned,

there's no reason to not use your Zombie card.

There were four zombies when the game started.

If the infection proceeded exponentially, as one might expect,

zombies would become the majority in a mere

three rounds.

Don't you see which side has the advantage?

Did you really think

I'd buy that?

That's totally up to you.

Either I get shot and die now and you die at the end of the game,

or you accept my deal now, become a zombie, and survive.

Open.

I'm afraid I'm gonna pass on that deal.

Masato.

- We're too late. - It's no use.

Rei's in danger.

- It's over! - Nobu.

- I'm dead! - Nobu!

Do what I said.

Now we'll win.

This is...

It's going too far!

The zombies want to kill us because we killed their teammates.

But zombies can't kill humans in this game.

Go ahead and become a zombie if you wanna die too.

Those guys are bad news. They're going insane.

Nobu!

Over here. Hurry!

What happened?

Please listen.

What's wrong?

I was tricked.

Rei.

You're alive.

Two rounds left.

- Please choose an opponent by... - Find them!

Why play me?

Which side do you think will win?

The zombies.

That was your conclusion all along.

Well, yeah.

Either the zombies win through exponential growth,

or humans freak out and win by killing tons of zombies.

It was going to be one or the other.

Rei.

What?

You're not really

a zombie, are you?

Please place your cards.

If you were a zombie,

why build this barricade of trust?

What was your endgame?

You'd end up dead if no one saved you with the vaccine.

You thought gratitude would save you?

A strategist like you wouldn't risk her life

on a plan that depends on gratitude.

I see.

But if you aren't really a zombie,

then your plan is perfect.

Is that really possible?

Even if you didn't have a Zombie card,

as long as everyone believed your reasoning and it built trust,

then, yes, it's possible.

The barricade of trust was built on a lie.

But trust is born when people believe you.

I see what you mean.

And that's also why you survived your game against Ikeno.

Ikeno used his Shotgun card, didn't he?

But you didn't die.

That's because you're not a zombie.

Open.

So?

Why did you come to play me?

To save you, Rei.

You're a zombie?

And here I thought people like you don't lie.

Now you're a zombie too.

If you believed the zombies would win,

why didn't you become one?

I thought the zombies would win, but I wasn't sure.

When I built the barricade, I thought the humans might win.

That's why I built it.

But I couldn't be sure, so I waited to see how things played out.

After watching Ikeno and his lackeys,

I kinda started thinking

human cruelty might win.

But, Arisu,

playing you convinced me.

Thank you.

The final round will now begin.

We better hurry.

How long were you a zombie?

From the start.

Sick move.

Natsu!

- Shion! - Arisu!

I got turned, like Nobu said.

We can all turn in one more round.

Where'd Nobu go?

To find Tetsu.

Shit.

Tetsu!

Tetsu?

Please.

Hear me out, please.

Let me go!

- Anyone there? - Nope.

Hey! Over here!

Hey, let's go!

After 'em!

Stop!

- Time's almost up! Find Tetsu! - Got it!

Tetsu!

He's over here!

This way!

Found him over here!

Please choose an opponent by touching them.

Nobu, the round's starting!

Your Shotgun card's gone. Let's play!

Open.

Tetsu.

Tetsu!

I'll explain later.

Shit!

Kazuya.

I just saved you.

What?

The final round is over.

Here are the totals.

Zombies,

32.

Humans,

13.

Zombies win.

Yes!

We did it!

Thank goodness!

There were fewer humans, so it's game over for those 13 players.

Seriously?

All right!

We won.

Come with us.

PLEASE PROCEED 16 KM SOUTHWEST

THE "GAME" WILL BE HELD AT SUNDOWN IN TWO DAYS

Don't hold it against me.

I wasn't going to.

It's just a game.

That it is.

Let's get some sleep.

Okay, your bedhead won't be so bad tomorrow.

Thanks, Big Sister.

I'm not your sister.

Huh?

Isn't Arisu gonna sleep?

I bet he's thinking about his wife.

I'm jealous.

My husband is quick to yell at me and hit me.

I've wished him dead so many times.

It must be nice to love someone with all your heart.

Hey!

- Stop it! - Damn you!

- Arisu... - Wanna come over?

What's wrong?

Where are you?

Arisu...

Yeah?

I'll come get you.

Usagi?

I'm sorry.

Usa--

I'm sorry, Dad.

When I dream,

I can feel my dad's presence.

I want to see him again.

If I can see my dad,

I don't care if it's a nightmare.

Please, Dad.

Dad, please! Don't go!

Don't go!

I want to ask you about your father.

Would you help me?

If my dad is there...

Even if it's a nightmare...

I want to be there.

For real?!

Look out!

People aren't shields!

Just worry about yourself.

Move!

This way!

Ryuji, follow my lead.

Can't believe you survived like that.

I managed somehow. And I had some help.

Usagi, are you an athlete or what?

Nope.

I climb mountains for fun.

I feel like I've met you before.

So Usagi is your last name, not a nickname?

"Usagi."

Yeah.

Was your dad a mountain climber?

I must've recognized you from the gossip magazines.

That mountain climber in the headlines?

He killed himself after lying about a climb.

Yeah, him.

Oh.

Sorry.

It's the magazines' fault. Don't let it bother you.

- Hey. - Well, it's true.

Did he really kill himself?

- Ask her. - I can't do that.

Just ask.

Do you care what people like that say?

My dad wasn't one to lie.

He'd never kill himself.

You say that, but you have your doubts, don't you?

If it weren't for you,

I'd never have come back here.

I wonder.

When I first saw you, I sensed we were alike.

We can't escape the death haunting our lives.

You wanted to be with your dead father.

Isn't that what you always felt, deep in your heart?

That's why you accepted my offer.

I never wanted to come back here.

Never wanted to make Arisu sad.

Deep inside, you felt differently.

No, I'm not like you.

I've always wanted to come here.

I want to see the world of death that lies beyond this borderland.

I knew you'd be the one to survive.

You...

Who are you?

You know who I am?

Yes.

I've devoted myself to finding people like you.

People qualified to become able citizens.

Citizens?

You've already been there, right?

You made it to the end, surviving many games despite your legs.

You should remember by now.

I have a favor to ask.

Bring a certain woman you know to that land.

In exchange, I'll show you the world you seek.

You want to see the afterlife, right?

Beyond the land between life and death

lies the real world of death.

What'll it be?

Do you accept my deal?

Will I really get what I want?

- Yes. - But how do I do it?

She still carries the shadow of her dead father deep in her heart.

She will come if you invite her.

"Invite her"?

How?

Have her drink this.

Then you'll get what you want.

So, what will it be?

All right.

I'll do it.

That guy, Ryuji, actually brought her here.

And Arisu came, too, just as you planned.

Arisu won't ever part with Usagi.

Human emotions are invisible threads.

Tug on them, and they always respond.

What will you do next?

I'll make good use of Ryuji.

He's a valuable asset.

He's quite eccentric too.

He wants to see the afterlife.

Above all, emotional threads are growing between him and Usagi.

I'll control him by tugging those threads.

The game is finally getting interesting.

You're scary.

The required number of teams has been reached.

The game will now commence.

THE TRAIN IS ARRIVING

NOT IN SERVICE

The game is Runaway Train.

Here are the rules. This train operates autonomously.

Try to make it to the front car from the starting car.

Once the stop siren sounds,

you must stop the train in order to win the game.

Thirty seconds after you move to the car ahead and the door locks,

either oxygen or poison gas will be released.

"Poison gas"?

Excluding this starting car,

poison gas will be released in four of the eight cars.

Please decide whether to put on a gas mask before then.

Each player gets five gas cartridges.

Please attach them to the intake on the right side of your mask.

The cartridges contain a neutralizing agent for the poison gas.

You cannot use another player's cartridges.

And you cannot return to the car you left.

Now strap your cartridges to your arm

and take your gas mask.

Game start.

Please move to the next car.

What's with the bird?

If the canary dies from the gas,

we'll know it's poison.

I see.

Please make your choice.

What now?

Sohta.

This isn't a gas car.

Oh no.

We just wasted a cartridge?

No, it's fine.

There are four gas cars. We still have four cartridges.

Please move to the next car.

Please make your choice.

It was poison gas!

We're safe!

CAR 3

Please make your choice.

What should we do?

I'm not using it.

Why not?

Everyone is scared, so they mask up in the first half.

The game creator will count on that and release poison gas in the second half.

- I'll try without it. - That's just rolling the dice.

There might be another way.

We're in the third car. Five more to go.

Three have poison gas, and we have three cartridges left.

What should we do?

We won't wear them.

What if your brother's wrong?

- What's your problem? - Chill out.

Nothing you can do if it's poison.

It's not poison.

Thank goodness!

What a relief.

We're safe.

It's bound for Asakusa!

It runs parallel to Omotesando and Aoyama-Itchome!

A train nerd?

We won't make it if we wear our masks next time

and it's not a gas car.

You seem to know a lot about trains.

Yeah.

It looked like the people we just saw took a while to die.

So I bet it's a nerve gas heavier than air.

You'd need a lot to fill a car.

- And? - There have to be tanks for the gas.

The poison gas cars likely need space for them.

Any ideas?

There's no way I'd know that.

We're running out of time. We gotta decide!

The train that went by...

Maybe it was a trick.

They could be trying to scare us.

It's possible.

We won't have enough cartridges if we use our masks now.

Wait.

I'm not completely sure, but this type of car

shouldn't have a pantograph.

A pantograph?

On the roof?

Yes.

It allows the train to draw power.

If there's a pantograph, it will occupy a lot of roof space.

But this car shouldn't have one.

So you're saying there's space for a gas tank?

Yes, most likely.

"Most likely"?

I'm gonna trust that?

Please make your choice.

What do we do?

What now?

- I'm sorry! - Yuna!

CAR 5

Four cars left, including this one.

There are still two poison gas cars, and we only have two cartridges left.

How about this car?

This car

should have a pantograph.

So there's no space for a gas tank.

CAR 6

Wait.

These racks are wrong.

- I see. - What is it?

I'm sorry. I got the model wrong.

- What? - It's a different train model.

So the pantograph locations differ too.

I'm sorry! I don't know what to do now.

So we just got lucky?

That's right.

You asshole!

Aren't you a train nerd?!

- Well?! - Stop it!

There's no time.

Please make your choice.

Two cartridges left.

CAR 6

And two more gas cars.

We can't make a single mistake.

So it's up to a hunch?

Yep.

I'll bet... on her hunch.

Me too.

My bet is on Usagi.

This might just work.

Sounds good to me.

A test of luck at the end.

Come on, poison gas.

It's alive.

This isn't a gas car!
