Original subtitles

Oh, you're here already?

Tatsuo?

Could you take in the laundry?

What are you looking at?

Nothing, just getting some fresh air.

Where do I put it?

In the bedroom please.

Foreboding.

It started like that, an odd feeling.

Etsuko.

Sorry, I was dreaming.

You were staring out the window.

What was it?

The sky.

It feels strange.

Why is that?

That feeling happens.

It's okay, Etsuko.

Sorry, add these too.

Alright.

Who is responsible for the sewing inspection?

Well, it's you.

They're too busy.

I dropped it.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

Is there something wrong?

As I said...

They still have a lot to do.

Take it.

Miyuki.

What is it?

Isn't it your day off?

Right.

But then...

What happened?

Could I stay at your place tonight?

I don't want to go home.

Sure, but...

why?

I am afraid.

You're afraid?

Afraid of what?

Of a ghost?

I had never seen that before.

But now, in my place...

it can't be anything else.

What does he look like?

He looks like an ordinary person.

But what is creepy...

is that I seem to know him.

What could it be?

I don't know who he is.

I don’t know why he is there.

But he stays with me all the time.

As if it was normal.

It's like...

I'm seeing something that I shouldn't.

My husband is back.

Just a moment.

You have a visit.

I'm early.

Yeah.

I'll rest in the bedroom.

I stopped at the fast food...

for a meal.

Anyway, you can sleep here today.

Have a good night's sleep.

We'll talk tomorrow.

I'll call your home.

Don't call please.

What if he answers?

Alright.

But...

Are you OK about it?

About what?

That thing...

that looks like a man.

You have one too...

at your place.

I'll go over and see.

Who are you?

I am a colleague of Miyuki's.

Are you her father?

Yes.

It's been a week.

She's been as you see.

Miyuki told me about the situation.

What did she tell you?

Well...

At first it just felt like she was distant.

But gradually she saw me as some kind of monster.

Now she stays as far as possible.

She totally ignores me.

She hates the sight of me.

I never even...

hit her as a child.

Her mother died ten years ago.

I tried my best to raise her.

And now see...

how she treats me.

Etsuko.

What happened?

The girl you saw, she seems tormented.

She's seeing a doctor.

Dr.Komori?

He's examining her.

Come on, Etsuko.

You could have called me ahead.

I'm sorry, it was sudden.

You didn't have to wait like that.

I could have arranged a better place.

I'm sorry, Tatsuo, I thought I had to take care of her.

And I know how busy you are.

OK.

You're right... well, I'll go now.

Be sure to go home as soon as you're done.

The hospital is not a healthy place.

What is this?

Dr.Makabe.

This way doctor.

Alright, sure.

This... this is my wife.

Hi, I am Yamagiwa Etsuko.

Dr.Makabe is a surgeon.

I new here.

Mr.Yamagiwa helps me a lot.

Are you feeling ill?

No, I came with an acquaintance.

I see.

Let's go, doctor.

Well, forgive me.

Are you with the lady?

This way.

Ok.

I haven't done a full examination, I can't tell at this point.

From what I could gather...

she doesn't know who her father is anymore.

Is that because of her family history?

No.

I asked her about her mother.

She couldn't answer.

The same about her siblings.

In other words.

It seems, Asakawa Asami...

lost the sense of family.

That's all I can say.

Have you had cases like that before?

This may be a kind of amnesia.

But I've never heard of this.

She totally lost the concept of family.

A concept?

I could say, the image the word evokes.

How will she handle that...

Personally, I don't know.

You have any clue about her condition?

I don't.

Did you notice something strange about her?

No.

I see.

How can we explain that to her father?

This way, please.

Hi, we were waiting for you.

I did a basic examination.

Your daughter's condition is a bit complex.

Maybe an experiment...

could help us find the symptoms.

Let's try it.

You think she'll acept me?

It won't take long.

Please. -Yes.

Your daughter will wake up.

Miyuki, Miyuki.

How do you feel?

It's dad, you hear me?

Don't come here, don't come near me.

It's all right. Calm down.

It's okay.

So, she's hospitalized?

She can't stay with her family.

There is no other solution.

What did the doctor say?

She lost the concept.

The concept.

The concept of family.

What does it mean?

I don't know.

Maybe It's like erasing a software on a computer in a blink?

Good evening.

You were here.

You're home early today.

There was no surgery.

I'll prepare dinner now.

There's no rush.

It was hard today, right?

What will happen to Miyuki?

They don't seem to have a cure.

If there's anything, I'll let you now.

Can I ask you something?

What's wrong with that doctor Makabe?

He's new.

He told you.

What is his relationship with you?

I often help him.

He has a hard time adjusting.

There's something strange about him.

Why?

It's the first time I feel that.

He is strange.

It's all in your head.

You've been affected by Miyuki's episode.

Do you need help?

Could you get some dishes?

Sorry.

You OK?

What's with your right hand?

Nothing.

I'll trash these.

Heavy showers all over the world...

today too, all day long.

The trains, the boats, the planes are affected...

most means of communication and transportation.

Etsuko.

What is it?

If the world ended...

what would you do?

I'd keep my daily routine.

I thought so.

What's going on?

But what if...

a small number could be saved?

How many people?

Just a few.

I wouldn't like that.

I don't want to be saved.

I thought so.

You're dreaming again.

You won't believe me...

what if...

the world was about to end?

I don't usually think about such things...

but if that was the case.

What would you feel?

I think I'd be calm and objective.

Because...

the earth core under our feet could explode anytime.

The oxygen on the Earth could be sucked out to space.

And then the most plausible scenario...

a country leader could launch a missile attack.

The end of the world is not a strange hypothesis.

The world not ending would be strange.

You're right.

If it's going to end...

I wish I had 50 years left.

Then I wouldn't mind.

Let’s start.

Mrs.Yamagiwa.

Come here.

What did the doctor say about Miss Asakawa?

Miyuki?

She may have a fit of amnesia.

Amnesia?

I see.

Di you reap that concept from her?

No, I told you already.

Do you have fellows here? -Not sure.

But it wouldn't be rational to send only me.

You are my guide.

I don't reap concepts from my guide.

Mrs.Etsuko.

Please.

Sorry, about last time.

It's fine.

I was precisely talking with Mrs.Asakawa.

Maybe...

someone reaped that concept from her.

'Reaped that concept'?

Right.

Is that possible? -Well.

Just an assumption?

If aliens landed on earth...

with the purpose to invade it.

And if before that...

they wanted to understand humans.

They'd realize...

that what drive human civilization...

are the concepts.

Not language.

Language is a mere facade.

But the concepts behind it...

vary among races...

among countries...

among individuals.

There are subtle differences.

Just like...

let me think...

like tropical insects.

If someone wanted to collect them.

For what purpose?

Maybe...

it could be useful intel for the invasion.

Since they're aliens. -Doctor.

Your joke is creepy.

My wife is candid, she'll believe you.

Come on.

Really?

Etsuko.

Aren't you here to visit Miss Asagawa.

Come on, go.

I'll be on my way.

Why did you tell her that?

Let’s go too.

You will introduce me.

My next patient.

Miyuki.

You recognize me?

Miss Asagawa.

Bring her back to the bed.

Last time, I was just guessing...

but it seems I was right.

She totally lost her concept of family.

With such dramatic effect?

Family is our environment for growth.

In fact...

I heard about several cases...

with similar symptoms.

Is this hospital?

No.

All over the world.

Everywhere at the same time...

they don't recognize their family?

No, no.

People have been stripped of various concepts.

Simply...

all of them without warning...

suddenly, one day...

Sorry.

I did not want to talk to you about it.

Is someone collecting those concepts?

'Collecting', what do you mean?

The concepts?

Who would do that?

Your wife is sensing something.

She wondered about you from the first encounter.

But of course she doesn't know.

She just has a sense that I'm not an ordinary person.

How could she?

Such humans exist.

Please don't hurt Etsuko.

You are my guide.

You chose who I can reap from.

We have an agreement.

Two weeks before.

Is this the hospital?

Yes.

Who are you?

I'm Yamagiwa, the janitor in this hospital.

You are?

My name is Makabe.

Ah, Dr.Makabe, you're new.

I'm Makabe.

So, I'm Makabe.

I was assigned to this hospital last week.

I understand now.

Are you OK?

Are you alone here?

Yeah... well, yeah.

Then, I have a request.

Mr.Yamagiwa...

please, be my guide from now on.

Who is she?

Her name?

Mrs.Kawaguchi.

She's the boss of that company.

Hurry up, I don’t want to be seen.

I can ask why you chose that person?

You don't need to know.

I am interested.

She is a poor excuse of a human being.

On what ground?

Our hospital is a big customer of hers.

She offered them bribes...

and also women.

I was invited once.

Of course I refused.

I get it.

Mrs.Kawaguchi.

What?

You're a poor excuse of a human being.

What?

A poor excuse of a human being.

What is that?

What kind of human being you think you are?

People seem to think you're worthless.

Please stop that nonsense.

Is that a kind of prank?

Can we talk?

I don't know you, what do you want?

Are these aggressive sales techniques.

Why are you angry? Give me a reason.

You're creeping me out.

You know what you say hurts people.

Hurts?

Where did you get hurt?

What is that?

What has been hurt?

Your self-esteem?

Your pride?

Yes, I happen to have pride.

This concept...

is now reaped.

I see now...

this is pride.

What's wrong with me.

Let’s go.

She won't invite you anymore.

Tatsuo...

were you with Mr.Makabe all day?

Why?

It's my job.

Not all day.

Did he lead you to believe...

that the world is ending?

You remember that.

Seeing the sun in the morning I had that idea.

Then you asked me if I wanted to be saved.

Did I ask you that?

I can't recall.

I gave it a thought.

You said "If a few people were saved"...

and at that moment I refused to be saved.

But I lied.

You did?

But I wish I was with you.

I'd like to be saved with you.

Really?

13 years ago?

So long ago.

Lately...

I haven't met any of my former students.

Sorry to disturb you.

We were in the neighborhood, we thought...

What kind of person is he?

He is absolutely mean.

He is my junior high school teacher.

He was picking on me.

I had difficulties to concentrate.

Because of that he was mean.

I see.

Here I am.

I found various old archives.

I'm glad I kept them.

Maybe your friend will be bored.

But there are so many memories in here.

Right, Yamagiwa.

Yes, many memories.

This is a trip with the 2nd grade.

We were all together in that hotel...

the manager was so mad that day.

He told me, "Look we have other classes..."

"I ask you to behave as a good educator."

Great memories.

I wasn't in that trip.

Really?

Ah right, you're right.

May I ask you a question?

What are you most passionate about?

What is it?

What do you mean?

When you look at these photos...

it's a trip down memory lane?

What do you mean?

I asked you a question.

What is it?

Well... the past.

What?

The past.

The past.

A lot happened then.

Good and bad memories.

Now, it's all fine.

For me now, I retained only precious memories.

And all those memories together are...

the past.

This concept...

is mine now.

What?

I'm crying.

So strange.

What's going on?

My head is spinning.

Very strange.

Serves you well.

You want to know?

We're done, let's go.

But you want to know.

Let's push a little further.

Right.

Next.

(The Future)(Life)

what is this?

The future.

Right.

It is the future.

Picture it.

The future.

That's it.

This concept...

is mine.

So this is the future?

That's enough.

No.

There's more.

And this?

Would you offer me this?

Li-fe.

You're going too far.

Life.

This is your life.

Please picture it.

Li-fe.

My life.

This concept...

is now mine.

It's enough, it's enough.

It's okay I didn't actually take is life.

Great, you can do horrible things to people.

You chose him.

I did.

And when I say stop, you stop.

What do you feel towards me?

What is that?

Such a strong feeling.

What is mankind's strongest drive?

Is it fear?

What is it?

I want this next.

Please find me someone? Would you?

Good evening.

You're home early.

What happened?

Nothing.

Damn.

Something happened with Dr.Makabe?

Nothing, I'm just a bit tired.

What are you doing with him every day?

Enough.

This is my job.

Your job?

What job?

Your right hand is often numbs, right?

It wasn't like that before.

What are the symptoms?

When did it start?

It's related to these strange events.

You don't know what your saying.

My life is none of your business.

No.

I can't anymore.

Let me go.

I'm here.

You'll be alright.

You'll be fine.

You'll be alright.

I'm going to work.

Don't work today.

I'll call the hospital.

You just need to sleep, you'll be fine.

Right.

Don't go out.

You promise.

Alright.

Please, wait here a moment.

Alright.

Miss Kurata.

Yes.

The ICU inspection arrives in the afternoon.

Could you help me this morning?

Alright, I'll make the preparations.

Please.

Mrs.Etsuko, Hello.

So, your husband is not coming today.

No, he doesn't feel well.

But yesterday he was fine.

Dr.Makabe.

I need to tell you something.

What is it?

Please, release my husband.

I don't know your circumstances but...

But please leave him alone.

Did he request that himself?

No.

He didn't say anything to me.

You knew there was something special about me...

as soon as the first encounter.

Yes.

You are definitely a special human.

So there are people like you.

Who are you?

Who do you think I am?

Not a normal human.

And what else?

An anomaly?

An anomaly.

Yes, you're right.

'Anomaly' describes me well.

Can you picture that?

What did you just do to me?

I can't reap from you.

Why?

You're amazing.

You are truly amazing.

Would you leave my husband alone?

Sure, anytime.

Yamagiwa is just my guide.

Your guide?

He's like my partner.

He chooses people for me.

Whom I reap concepts from.

What was surprising was...

that man who kept a concept even after I reaped it.

And Miyuki?

I don't know about her.

I didn't do it.

Don't blame Mr.Yamagiwa.

How can you free my husband?

It's simple, he just has to tell me.

His right hand is numb...

you did that to him, right?

I didn't do that.

Maybe a psychological issue.

Maybe his rebellious unconscious.

Some inner conflict with his soul.

It's guilt?

What does it mean?

It means, your husband is very humanly human.

But you are different.

You are a special human.

I want to know everything about you.

How are individuals like you born?

We are very interested in that.

'We', you mean …

Who are you?

Etsuko!

Etsuko, are you okay?

You're awake?

Yoko…

Why are you here?

The text you sent me would worry anyone.

Did you meet Dr.Makabe?

Uh? Who?

Dr.Makabe the surgeon.

Yoko, you have to avoid him at all cost.

Alright then.

Hey, Miss Asakawa...

it seems I scared you.

Sorry about that.

It's a fact that some viruses can cause memory loss.

But...

this has nothing to do with Dr.Makabe.

He is not an ordinary human.

You know...

it's not that I don't get what you say...

but you need to rest and calm your nerves.

You don't believe me either, Yoko.

I believe you.

Obviously something scared you very much.

But... -I get it.

Dr.Komori, please call Dr.Makabe here now.

That's a little... -Please.

He will tell you himself.

This is Komori in Cardiology.

Do you have a Dr.Makabe?

Ah? Really?

Okay, I understand.

Alright then.

We don't have that name in this hospital.

I'm going home.

Etsuko, wait.

What happened? Tell me more about it.

You won't believe me anyway.

Tell me everything.

No one would believe that sort of things.

You're right.

What happened?

Tell me from the start.

Sorry Yoko, I don't have time.

I don’t know how she found out.

No, she is not a guide.

She must have some kind of sixth sense.

But for Makabe?

No, no, I don't want to keep that secret.

I get it but...

Could your services stop Makabe?

I'm totally powerless here.

Please.

Etsuko?

I heard you were sick.

How do you feel?

That is...

You look good.

Sure.

Let’s go then.

Next, I need someone with fear.

Find me someone.

I'm going out for a while, be right back, don't worry.

Yoko, sorry about before. We need to talk. Meet you at the company.

Can I talk to you?

Yes.

If I talk about it, most people will think I'm crazy.

But I have to tell someone.

Would you mind listening?

Please tell me.

I'm responsible for Miss Asakawa's condition.

You are?

I did not expect she would do that to her.

Mr.Kaseya, you are a guide, right?

You knew it?

Yes.

Your hand.

She... she controls it.

My husband is like you.

Are you also... -No.

I am an ordinary human.

Good.

I know.

You're a good person.

You must understand your husband’s pain.

Yes.

She told me to chose people.

I turned to the people I dislike.

I don’t know why I chose Miss Asakawa.

I didn't dislike her.

She is the youngest in the company.

So I assumed...

she probably despised me.

Who is yours...

My wife.

My wife asked me to be her guide.

Even before, I could hardly resist her...

Now it's worse.

Can't you refuse to be a guide?

I don't know.

I'm so tired of all this.

I wanted to tell her frankly.

Maybe if I told her clearly how I feel...

maybe it would end very easily.

But what would become of you?

I'd be free.

I don't know about the future of the Earth...

but...

At least until the end of the world...

I'll live free.

Let's talk about it tomorrow.

Your husband...

If he has a strong will...

he will set himself free.

Choose quickly.

Just wait, I'm looking.

Whomever, it's all the same.

Can I ask you something?

What?

When does the invasion begin?

What are you saying?

Well I'd like to know.

Soon.

A few days?

I don’t know, I don't decide.

So it could even be in ten years.

And so what?

What does it change?

We are proceeding smoothly.

This one is just fine.

Let's go.

What is this?

Anesthetic.

Excuse me.

Yes?

I want to go to the ward house.

My GPS is broken.

Let me see. -I'm sorry.

You've got the wrong guy. -No.

It's a mistaken identity.

Check my ID in my wallet.

Please check.

What are you afraid of?

Eh? Of you.

I just told you I'm not your guy.

Is it deep enough?

Don't do it.

Stop.

Don't do that, stop.

We're going to bury you.

I beg you, don't do this.

I'll do anything.

I understand.

You are afraid to die.

You are afraid of death, aren't you?

Is that a prank?

Enough.

I don't want to hear you.

Bury him.

Quick.

Are you scared of death?

Hold him down.

It's mine now.

What happened?

It's done?

What is it?

Is he dead?

By the way, I met your wife today.

Mrs.Etsuko, she is amazing.

A special human.

I decided to take her as a specimen.

A specimen?

We'll let a few humans live.

I told you before.

You did.

That's good.

Your wife will be saved.

Tatsuo?

Etsuko.

It's over.

I killed someone.

I knew that would happen one day.

It was just a matter of time.

What happened?

You were with Dr.Makabe?

Yes.

Makabe is coming.

I'm sure he's coming.

What can we do?

Don't worry.

I will protect you.

Etsuko.

I won't let him ruin our lives.

It's so high.

I have 'fear'.

I fear.

Is that the fear of death?

Where is Mr.Kaseya?

He is in the warehouse.

Mr.Kaseya?

It is you.

What happened?

I couldn't.

I can't run from her.

I surrender, now I'll obey her.

Sorry.

Mr.Kaseya, you want to give up?

Is it OK like that?

Maybe there are other ways to get free.

Thank you for your help.

I am Mr.Kaseya's wife.

Easy.

What do you feel right now?

What is that?

Can you express it with words?

You can say it in your head.

That's it.

It's a sense of disgust?

That's right, it's disgust.

And now it's mine.

What's going on?

I can't reap it.

What are you?

You are Dr.Makabe, right?

Yes, What is it?

I am a good friend of Yamgiwa Etsuko. I’m Saiki Yoko.

And?

I'll be clear.

Dr.Makabe, you have a big secret, right?

I really want to know that secret.

Of course I won't tell anyone.

My secret?

Yes.

I could say it but you'd freak out.

Doesn't matter.

I'll tell you.

We came here to invade the Earth.

I see.

In other words, you all are... -Aliens.

Do you believe it?

Yes, I believe it.

So you are an alien.

But you look so human.

The person you see was a man named Makabe.

But now I have seized his body and his memory.

So I can live and talk like you.

And…

You have great interest in Etsuko?

Yes.

Why?

What?

Why did you chose her.

Do you need to know?

I'm really concerned.

Etsuko possesses something that I don't have.

What is that?

Etsuko couldn't tell me what it was.

Etsuko is a special human.

So I decided to keep her as a specimen.

I don't qualify?

You don't.

Can't I be a specimen?

You are a very bold person.

Interesting.

Could we have a little talk?

Sure, anything.

That concept people like you have...

is very interesting.

Tatsuo?

Tatsuo, what happened?

It hurts.

It's unbearable.

Let me see.

It's because I betrayed Makabe.

If I obeyed him with all my heart...

I wouldn't have that pain.

But I can't.

Etsuko.

I need a tourniquet on my arm.

Please.

Tighter.

Thank you.

What now?

I'm thinking.

Etsuko, stay there.

Stop, don't do that.

It's fine.

If we could stop the blood.

It's a stupid idea.

You have another one?

We fight against him with all our heart.

We wouldn't be in this position if we could do that.

I'm just a weak guy who even hates himself.

I understand.

I'll have Makabe relieve you of your pain.

You can't.

If I ask him...

surely, he'll listen.

This is horrible.

Dr.Komori.

He had promised to touch only people I chose.

Let's go to Makabe's office.

OK.

He's gone.

Can you feel it?

What was his purpose?

He may have stepped to the next stage.

What is the next stage?

Strange... the pain is gone.

Maybe he dismissed me as his guide.

Really?

It seems.

Etsuko, wait for me here.

What?

There something important... -I'm going too.

No, you wait here.

Yoko.

Why?

I am sorry.

I should have told you everything.

What are you doing?

I take some, just in case.

What is it?

Painkillers.

Isn't it addictive?

But it's efficient.

You'll get hooked.

It does not matter.

No.

Nothing else works for the pain.

No way.

Please Etsuko.

I get it.

Use it only in last resort.

And I'll be keeping it.

The police are already here.

Really?

I'm a murderer.

He could be on our side.

What's your plan?

I'll check.

You stay here.

Halt, please don't come any closer.

We have an unidentified individual.

I can't see her well yet.

I'm at the surgery section, 3rd Floor.

I am an ordinary human.

I thought so.

Sorry about that.

May I come closer?

Sure, please.

Aren't you...

Mrs.Yamagiwa Etsuko?

Yes.

I'm Nishizawa with the Ministry of Health.

I was precisely looking for you.

For me? why?

You may be special.

Dr.Komori told me.

Dr.Komori, really?

I just saw him in the hall.

Yes.

The situation is ugly.

We arrived a minute too late.

So why are you here, Mrs.Yamagiwa?

I wanted to meet Dr.Makabe.

Dr.Makabe?

Yes.

Is he still here?

No, he went.

You understand the situation?

I understand.

You are amazing.

It's OK...

Makabe is gone.

And this is Yamagiwa Etsuko.

Please.

It's not that bad yet.

But I'm on my own here.

I understand it's a state of emergency.

I'm sorry I'm really busy.

Yes.

Please wait.

I am a guide.

I'm a guide.

What do you mean by 'guide'?

Well...

I killed someone.

I killed someone.

Wait a moment, wait.

Well then...

forgive me, could you just write your name and coordinates here.

We'll get in touch with you.

No, it's fine, everything is fine.

The Ministry of Defense?

But the US army...

So, this is the end?

Humanity is going extinct.

You scared me.

Give me a break...

I'm innocent.

Switch on the loudspeakers.

Thank you.

Mr.Makabe... Mr.Makabe.

Are you Mr.Makabe?

I'm Nishizaki.

Do you understand Japanese?

Of course I do.

Do you have to be so loud?

I'm sorry.

We have to keep a safe distance.

I see.

You all are collecting human concepts?

Yes.

We can help you with that...

If it is so important to you.

But maybe there is a safer way.

For example, with a computer.

In this case, you don't need to invade us anymore, maybe.

What do you think we should do?

You and we are totally different creatures.

That difference precisely, makes mutual respect necessary.

This is how we all proceed on Earth.

Really?

Is mankind respectful, though?

Right.

To be honest, we are failing.

I grant you that.

But you are very rational beings.

Is there no room for negotiation?

Why would we negotiate?

In order to coexist.

What is coexistence?

Do you want to reap it from me?

The concept of coexistence?

No.

You're too distant for that.

Right.

We had time to study you.

You guys are great.

Right.

It seems you have weaknesses too.

If an all-out-war broke between us...

you'd also suffer casualties.

Quite probably.

It would be a disaster for both sides.

This justifies coexistence.

Do you understand?

Sorry, I still don’t understand.

So you haven't reaped yet the concept of coexistence.

Enough.

I'm tired.

You're too loud.

The method may be risky but...

I can't think of any other way.

I know how unreasonable it sound to ask you to negotiate.

We're aware of that.

But now you are our last resort.

I can try.

I'm asking you.

Mrs.Etsuko.

At last I meet you.

Mr.Makabe.

You have changed.

Somehow.

You saw that?

Now I know fear of death.

This draws me a little closer to humans.

Are you so interested in humans?

Yes.

By any chance, are you starting to like humans?

Maybe.

We want to negotiate with you.

We'd like to find a way to coexist.

That's what I was told.

Mrs.Etsuko, you are the representative of mankind, then.

I am not.

In my eyes, you are not only their representative but you stand above them.

What makes you so different from other humans?

I am very interested in you.

So maybe if I have something to say...

you'd be will to listen?

And I'd even accept to become a specimen.

So would you listen to my request?

What request?

Please release my husband from his pain.

What?

Please, release him from his duty as a guide.

I'm asking you.

But it all depends on his inner issues.

The human heart is very fragile.

He is convinced that you control him.

He'll need your help to shake off that belief.

I get it.

Mrs.Etsuko, hold my hand.

Your right hand.

It's a promise.

In the same way, you'll have to hold his hand...

and he'll be released.

Let me go.

Mr.Makabe.

Mrs.Yamagiwa get out of the way.

Are you alright?

Yes.

You really are a special human.

Even if humans are exterminated, you could be the only one to survive.

That isn't a rejoicing perspective.

We should be doing our best to protect you...

But unfortunately we cannot do that presently.

However, you could still consider...

What is this?

In last resort.

I'm sorry, if you had to protect yourself...

I cannot do that.

You charge it like this.

There's a bullet in.

You push the safety and you pull the trigger.

You shoot.

The scientists have announced today...

that the moon has drifted from its orbit...

accompanied with a sharp disruption of gravity.

However, the experts say that the origin of this disruption...

would be a huge celestial body near our planet.

This is an alert, please seek shelter.

This is an alert, please...

This is an alert...

This is an alert...

There's no one.

It seems that the town died before me.

Even jumping from here would be meaningless.

Don't worry, I won't jump.

I have you.

Etsuko, let's escape.

Can we escape?

Yes, let’s try.

Where to?

Far away from here.

Tatsuo, are you okay?

I'm fine.

We can't, Etsuko... we can't escape.

Obviously, I have to surrender to Makabe.

Wait here, I'll bring Makabe here.

Mrs.Etsuko, I was waiting for you.

Could you free me from these?

Where are the others?

Everyone escaped.

I do not need closeness to reap people now.

I don't even need too point at them now.

Have you started the invasion?

Who knows? I'm not in charge.

Please release my husband.

Alright.

At the very end, when mankind is about to die...

people just care about their little life.

Interesting.

You are betraying mankind to save your husband.

Whatever.

Why did you go to all that trouble to save him?

Because I care for him.

Care?

I love him.

Love, right? I've always wondered about that concept.

Can you picture it in your head?

Right now?

Obviously I can't reap it from you but...

I just want to know.

Without it I always feel that something is missing.

You want me to love you?

You don't need to love me.

It's fine.

Try any way you want to evoke love.

Alright,

if you saved my husband for me...

then I will try hard to love you a little.

That would be my pleasure.

Tatsuo.

Etsuko, the drug has dulled out, give me another shot.

Please.

Yamagiwa, isn't that the effect of your karma?

You decided to break our friendly agreement.

Bastard, I should have killed you when I could.

Right, it hurts.

I intend to hurt you as hard as possible.

Wait, you promised me to save him.

Please fulfill your promise.

Etsuko, forget it.

It's a revenge, there's nothing I can do.

He wants to pay me back.

It's gone.

Etsuko, I'm sorry, I wanted to run away with you.

I won't go anywhere.

It's okay, it's enough.

You did great.

We've come so far.

Is that love?

I understand Yamagiwa, I'll release you.

I have a strange feeling.

I told you it was your conscience.

If you can't find it in yourself, nothing will change.

Yamagiwa, you'll be my guide until you die.

Looking at you, I got a good insight on love.

It has the same effect as the painkiller she shot you with.

People forget the pain in their heart.

It also creates a sentiment of fake comfort.

One of the greatest weaknesses of mankind.

We don't need that kind of burdening emotion.

You're amazing Makabe.

I surrender to you from the bottom of my heart.

In return, I have one Request.

What is it?

You are a surgeon, right?

Yes.

Then, please cut off my hand.

That wouldn't change anything.

It doesn't matter, you can do it.

You could use that flame...

to cauterize the wound.

Tatsuo you can't...

it's fine.

Alright, I'll do it.

Since my guide wants it.

Those iron pipes.

They'll fall if you pull the lever.

I have already unscrewed the safety.

Help me.

Mr.and Mrs.Yamagiwa.

You don't trap an alien so easily.

I could even drive.

It's okay, I'll drive.

I'll be fine.

What's wrong?

My right hand hurts, shit... Makabe is still alive.

Etsuko, give me a painkiller.

You just had a shot.

But it hurts too much.

Wait here.

We don't have it?

You have a gun?

Kill me, I'll be relieved, it will be simple.

Please, please kill me.

Just wait ten minutes.

I can't wait.

Hang on.

Mrs.Etsuko. It's dangerous, don't come closer.

My heart is filled with anger.

Are you going to kill me?

No, I couldn't forgive myself.

Hurting just his arm wasn't good enough. Where is he?

Why are you?

Is that it? The power of love?

The heart has stopped...

soon, the brain functions will stop.

Then death will be upon me.

Just contemplating it is dreadful.

Does humanity seek coexistence because of this?

Finally, I understand.

But mankind failed again.

They all live on the verge of death.

This is their fate.

Accept it.

Can you hear.

Yes, I hear.

So, it's not just me.

It's about to start.

Yeah, it's about to start.

This is how the invasion began.
