All language subtitles for [YE] Fence - 02 (WOWOW 1280x720 x264 AAC)

Omine Sakura?

What am I looking for?

She's suing the police claiming
she was raped by a US soldier.

Do the police think that she's lying?

She couldn't give us
a description of the culprit.

Okinawa…

Okinawa has its own unique situation.

-Who's she?
-My grandma.

She opposes the use of southern soil
and the reclamation of Henoko.

Did she concoct the rape case
to boost the anti-base movement?

It's a one chance story.

How'd you get assaulted
if you never went?

-I was raped.
-Liar.

You, too!

We need to catch the person
who did this terrible thing to Runa.

He will be caught and
he'll get what he deserves.

I mean, I'm trying to pick
a guy who won't stalk.

I'm being very careful.

You can learn from her, too, Emily.

What? Always in third place.

Yeah, fine.

Falling asleep.

Very satisfied.

The more sex men have,
the more freedom for them.

Yeah, amount.

Woman?

For women…

The choice not to have sex
is their freedom.

EPISODE 02: AMEJO

You have to take a taxi to get anywhere.

Mr. Azuma, I'm already over 20,000 yen.

You know Okinawa well enough to know

that taxi fare is a necessary expense.

I can't hear you!

Why did you pick this apartment?

The base was supposed to be relocated.

The value was supposed
to rise dramatically.

But after more than 20 years of dispute,

they decided to move it
to Henoko instead.

Hey, where are you
pointing that camera at?

Why was it not moved out
of the prefecture?

No prefecture wanted to host the base.

Does that mean Henoko took it?

They made them take it.

Slapped on the cheek with a wad of cash.

Listen Bauko, the deadline is
the day after tomorrow.

Is the case true or not?

I'm still working on it.

-Goodbye.
-Hey, wait--

Who told you to come in?

Get out!

Sakura isn't at fault.

It's me.

-No, it's not, Runa.
-I can't risk you getting implicated!

Never mind that!

Hold on…

I'm not with the police.

But you write for newspapers, don't you?

It's a magazine, not a newspaper.

Our sources remain undisclosed.

It doesn't matter which one of you is
the victim. I know that sounds weird,

but we can just tell your story.

So, you won't include us
in your article?

How did it happen?

Around two

in the morning on the day
of the incident, she came here.

Who is it?

Who's there?

It's Runa.

What's the matter? Come in.

What're you doing here so late?
You're still in high school.

I was with an older student,
but they left me behind.

That's awful. Did you try calling them?

I wish I could give you a ride,
but I recently lent my car.

No, I'll stay here.

Did you call home?

You already know…

that nobody cares about me.

Step back!

Why did you burn your clothes!?

I'm sorry.

It's all my fault.

What happened?

She wanted to act
like it never happened.

I wasn't sure if
I should've brought the clothes

with me to the police station,
but they don't fit me.

So your entire testimony is
what she told you?

I changed the time it happened
and what I wore.

Did you take her to the hospital?

I did. They were informed
about the assault, but only that.

Since she didn't want to cause a scene

and her injuries weren't serious,
they didn't push her.

The doctor thought someone she knew
had assaulted her.

Often happens, doesn't it?
Crying yourself to sleep over it.

I think you should press charges,
no matter what.

You've said it.

But not by taking her place.

If I let it go,
it'll happen to someone else.

Start by telling the truth right now.

What do you think will happen if

I said a US soldier
raped a high schooler?

All hell would break loose.

The opposition
to the base would increase,

and might even lead
to a prefectural assembly.

If that happens, some people will
suspect if the rape even occurred.

Like you did.

Even if done anonymously,
this is a small island.

"What about her family?
What's she like?"

"What did she wear?
Why go out at night?"

"She wasn't attending
high school regularly?"

"Well, she asked for it."

I've seen those things said
about so many girls.

She's still a child.

Does she need more torment in her life?

The assault happened in Miyabu.

They took her away,

and when she regained consciousness,

she was in a room, blindfolded.

They transported her in a car
and released her

at the athletic park.

WHITE PERSON

RENTAL MOTORCYCLES

Grip the brake with your left hand.

It worked! Thanks.

STONE TABLET

Kie!

Kie!

Where did you go, Kie!?

RESIDENTIAL NURSING HOME

What a disgrace.

They should be ashamed
of themselves as human beings.

The results of
the prefectural referendum

showed that over 70% of residents
are against the reclamation.

This reflects the opinion
of the people of Okinawa.

How much longer will the government
disregard our voices?

Grandma.

Sakura! Listen to this.

I've heard it a hundred times already.

I'll repeat it
ten thousand times if necessary.

Brought you some chinbin.

Right.

These popo look delicious!

No! These are called chinbin.

Everyone gets them wrong.

Give them to everyone.

Sakura's chinbin. She's really crafty.

If I were the victim

and taken to an unfamiliar room,

could I later determine its location

through my smartphone's location data?

Yes, it's possible to estimate.

What if it was off?

Depends on the model. If the battery
was disconnected, you're outta luck.

-Yesterday--
-And the N-system?

By examining the vehicle data
of cars near the park during that time,

we might identify the perpetrator's car.

We don't know if he passed through
Route 58, which has an N system.

We lack details about the car, such as
its make, model, or color. We're stuck.

Wait, you said they released her
at the athletic park, right?

Yes.

I panicked because you weren't at

Last Chance as we discussed yesterday.

My stomach was upset.

Sorry about that.

I didn't pay attention to you at all.

Even though you came
all the way to Okinawa.

But the police squad works
in three 24-hour shifts a day,

so we can't meet every night.

Right.

That said,

my feelings have remained
unchanged since then.

Since when?

The night in Roppongi.
Our last night in Tokyo.

The Tokyo Tower outside the window.

It was so stunning.
I can still vividly recall it.

By morning, you were already gone…

I really wanted to say
something to you that night.

What did you want to say?

You know, after that recent divorce…

-Who?
-Mine.

-Really?
-I mentioned it before.

There were so many customers back then.

Anyways,

I have no children, and it's an
amicable divorce, so no worries.

Having just divorced,

I wasn't sure if it was too soon.

But now, the hesitation is gone.

-You have that look on your face.
-Right?

Who's leading
the investigation currently?

Do we have to discuss that?

I'm curious about you, Mr. I,
but I'm also intrigued by the case.

Why?

As a woman, it's multifaceted.

I was thinking of becoming a writer.

Don't do it.
You'll end up like her, Bauko.

Don't you know?

There are such silly magazines
that men read.

Ones where former hostesses
go undercover

in clubs and create star charts.

I'd read something like that.

No. That's so pompous and snotty.

"Ki" is nothing
like those other hostesses.

Who's currently in charge
of the investigation?

-Are you mad at me?
-I'm not.

NCIS is currently handling the case.

-NC?
-NCIS.

American Naval Criminal
Investigative Service.

Like the TV show!?
Wait, it's actually real!?

Of course, the TV show
was inspired by it.

Wait a second. Do US investigators

investigate cases involving US soldiers?

-NCIS is more competent than that.
-Do you trust them?

I have to.
It's not Japan behind the fence.

If they get in, we can't touch them.

And you're okay with that?

It's just how it is.

The Japan-US Security Treaty takes
precedence over Japan's Constitution.

It's above the Constitution.

Well, it's quite uncommon,
given its extraterritorial nature.

It's almost like having
the US within Japan's borders.

What are you on about?

Show a bit more indignation.

The older generation of officers

were resolute like MPs,
making sure US soldiers

didn't cross the fence.

There's no need to raise a ruckus now.

We can have the culprit handed over.

We should attempt
to collaborate with the US.

Aren't you always advocating for that?

Yeah, that's why…

Isa, Uehara.

Starting today,
you'll be our support for a while.

We can't solely rely on the NCIS

to address the sexual assault in Miyabu.

This is it! That's what I mean!

We'll work hard.

Just do it normally, okay?

Sure, we'll do it normally.

Wait, normally?

Welcome. Take any available seat.

Who's he?

He's from a nearby store.

Sakura sometimes asks him
to cover for her.

I told her I was coming, though.

She had something
to take care of, so she'll be late.

What now?

Are you free, Ki?

Sure.

Do you have a driver's license?

Yeah.

You really have a license?

I'm "Tokyo Famous Paper Driver."

Make sure you fasten your seat belt.

Sorry.

-Did that startle you?
-Yes.

MASATO GUSHIKEN
SECURITY SPECIALIST

Mr. Gushiken, where are we now?

We're headed to the alternate entrance.

It's smaller and less conspicuous.

Not bad.

-What brings you here with Sakura?
-I'm not here with her.

That's her car.

Hello.

What are you doing here, bro?
Did you get fired from the base?

No, I wasn't.

There's no one now, right?

-Let's go, Ki.
-Okay.

That's Sakura's ex-boyfriend.

They attended high school together.

It's a shame they broke up.

This is Agent
Natalie Williams from NCIS.

She thanks you for coming today.

NCIS takes sexual assault
very seriously.

Any unwanted touching of the body
is a form of sexual assault.

So, please rest assured.

Thanks.

Hey, Runa, are these your grandparents?

Yeah.

A display of all the generations, huh?

A friend?

Yeah. An older student. Girl.

She asked if I wanted
to accompany her to Miyabu.

I'm not going.

I haven't informed her about it.

My seniors don't interfere
and usually just have fun.

That night, everyone got drunk
and I was left behind.

They're good people, though.

How about I go instead?

I won't say a word about you, I promise.

But I need to locate the guy
in the snake t-shirt.

Before, when I roamed alone,
it felt odd.

I thought things might go better
if I was with a girl.

Which one will you wear?

Not even close.

You're right.
As different as a loach and an eel.

-Needs more.
-All right, I'll keep at it.

This is what you call amejo, right?

The makeup, the fashion,
going to stores with US soldiers…

Couldn't say. What's amejo?

-Is that term not used anymore?
-Dunno.

I just imitate my senior.

She's so pretty.

Is that you, mom?

That's right.

Wow!

I had so much fun.

I still am.

I'm happy now with you, Kie!

Are there any guys looking
to sleep with Japanese women?

-You bet.
-They come just to score.

They're called Hamemoku.

But they were all Okinawan men, too.

Yeah, they're a bigger issue
than the base issue.

I'm learning a lot!

Info about shady guys
spreads quickly, like this guy.

He changes his name and
registers on various websites.

-An Amejo network?
-Right.

Then, I wanted to ask if you saw

a group of three men,
two white and one black, at Miyabu

on the night of May 7.
One had a black snake t-shirt.

They do something?

They're worse than Hamemoku.

Here you go, that'll be 1,800 yen.

Cheers, Ki!

Right.

-You from the mainland?
-No.

It's quite apparent.
You're among the oldest of them.

I'm only 27, you know.

By 27, Okinawan women often have
three children and are settled down.

And the men?

Often have
their first marriage by 22 or 23.

-Sometimes divorced and remarried.
-How about you?

I'm 35.
Never been divorced, still single.

That's no good!

Kazuyuki here's into black women.

Don't give me away, man!

So female soldiers come here, too?

So, you were born out of wedlock?

I came from the mainland, so it's okay.

Oh, you're a mainlander?

On weekends.

Let me share three principles
for blending in with Okinawans.

We avoid discussing bases

and politics

and always wear a smile
while accepting offered drinks.

On the house for those kids.

Okinawa!

Thanks.

He was right behind me and said,

"Count to a hundred,
close your eyes, and don't look back."

Then he took off my blindfold
and hand straps.

Did the culprit speak English?

Yes.

You don't seem to understand English.

Did you understand his words in English?

I may not speak English,

but I understand words
like "count" and "hundred."

"Close your eyes." "Don't look back."

I understood all of that too.

I did as he said.

This room he took you to,
we'll call it the "secret room."

What was the floor like?

How did your feet feel?

Was it a hard floor? Was there a rug?

How did the ground feel between the time

you left the room and
they put you in the car?

Did you feel the dirt? Turf? Concrete?

Do you remember anything
about the secret room?

Like, something sensory?
Anything at all.

I don't know. I was blindfolded.

There was a song playing
very loudly in English.

It's okay. You don't have
to recall those memories.

A smell…

There was a smell.

There was a loud song
playing in English.

And I also smelled something.

It was sweet, like a mango fruit.

Also, how good is
NCIS at investigations?

War?

In times of war, NCIS would go
in first and inspect the area.

That's why NCIS is a valuable ally.

What did he say?

They show no mercy
if there's criminals in the military.

Really?

What?

NCIS looked into the guy
wearing the snake t-shirt,

but couldn't find it in his room.

Not these people. They were with us.

Right.

-He sent his car in for repairs?
-Yeah.

What about his name?

Excuse me. I'm from the central station.

Central police.

Were you guys here on Saturday
night, the 7th of this month?

Yes, we were.

Did you see anything then?

Anyone suspicious?

Someone being taken away?

That's freaky!

Is something wrong?

Well…

Is this the guy you mentioned, Ki?

You see anything?

I'm talking to you.

What are you doing?

Having some drinks and
singing on the weekend.

You wanna hook up with an American?

Not really.

It's like a costume party night.

You liked doing that, too,
didn't you, Mr. I?

That was not the same thing as this.

I'm on duty, so I gotta go.

I'll see you tomorrow at noon.

I'll call you, okay?

Is your girlfriend an amejo?

No, you idiot. You wanna die?

OKINAWAN US SOLDIER SEXUAL ASSAULT
ALLEGATION AGAINST WOMEN

This way, the victim remains anonymous.

I think this is good.
Especially the conclusion.

"I hope for the swift capture
of the despicable culprit,

enabling the victim
to lead a tranquil life."

I'll forward it to the editor now.

Thanks.

This should net me my reward.

Would you care for a drink?

I'll join you. I won't decline.

Have you ever been inside the base?

Of course not.

They have a school,
a supermarket, a hospital,

restaurants, a bowling alley,
and a movie theater.

There's even an au store and a SoftBank.

-It's like a city.
-A big, foreign country.

A foreign country next door?

Closer than the mainland.

One that you can't enter.

But those employed there
can enter yours.

They only let people they can use in.

You've said it.

Back in elementary school,
things were pretty lax.

Kids in class used to dig holes
under the fence and sneak in.

-Was that okay?
-It was just kids.

It could've been dicey
if they'd been caught,

but those kids were heroes.

Did you partake in it, Sakura?

I didn't want to go near it.
I was scared.

I had this idea that if I entered,

someone from the other side
might say I'm not truly Okinawan.

Who would say that?

You must really love Okinawa, Sakura.

Isn't it strange to say "Shini"?

Saying "Deji" is fine.

Okinawan words are difficult.

Okinawan words are Shini.

For super, is it "Cho" or "Metcha"?

Who started the whole "amejo" thing?

I don't know. I never thought about it.

Why does it matter if someone
is fond of American guys?

Why do they say it
like it's a bad thing?

Your mom just happened
to fall for your dad, right?

Just because he was American.

Right.

Then, it's totally fine! Usseeyona!

Urusee.

-Shiniurusee.
-That's good.

Say, what's this called?

Not this one,

but the one tied with
that Okinawan green grass.

-Sanmusubi?
-Yeah, that.

-What is it?
-A good-luck charm.

Majimun.

It protects children from demons.

That's right.

That's why I always held on to it.

The neighborhood bullies

always chased me on my way home.

I wonder…

where I got that Sanmusubi.

Were you in Okinawa?

I like you today.

You're your usual "Ki" self.

I was shocked that you became an amejo.

Listen…

70% of the soldiers
in Okinawa are Marines,

so there are a lot of new recruits.

They get started in the army, and
their first post is here in Okinawa.

A bunch of big, loud, young guys

come in here like they're on vacation.

They have some fun with the local ladies

and go back in half a year.

Problems with men
and women are frequent.

But the US military
hasn't said a word about it.

At the orientation,
they only warned them

not to get out of line,
then released them.

Released them here in Okinawa.

I know you went to the party casually,

but in a place like that,
dressed like that, my only thought

is that she wants
to get close to an American.

Your only thought?

-Yes.
-Even you, Mr. I.

Me?

What?

Did you forget that night in Roppongi?

I remember.

I told you recently that I still

think about it from time to time.

Back then, you…

didn't use protection, did you?

I did, didn't I?

I asked you to put it on, so you did.

And I did.

If I hadn't said anything,
you would've stayed totally raw.

Never mind, you can leave it.

It kept me on edge the whole time,

and I didn't enjoy it at all.

On the other hand, you came and did

what you had to do,
and were very satisfied.

You really went to bed like a happy man.

I was…

alone in the middle of the night,

looking out the window at the
beautiful Tokyo Tower and thinking,

"I thought I came here today to screw,

but I got screwed instead."

What do you mean "got screwed"?

Forget it.

I'm not blaming you for what happened.

I just wanted to say that
the reason I went home first

while you were sleeping
was not because you didn't tell me.

In Okinawan,

there's the word "nuchidu treasure."

"Nuchi" is life, life is a treasure.

I'd be responsible
for the kids if they came.

Why is giving life a treasure?

-Isn't that what you meant?
-No, it's not.

The reason people like you
look down on amejo

is because you don't like
the fact that an American

took a woman
that was supposedly "yours."

And then leave birth control
to the women.

No wonder Okinawa's birth rate

is the highest in Japan.
Okinawa is the best!

Wait, if you hate Okinawa so much,
why did you even come?

For work!

For work?

What work?

Yes, what is it?

Runa's senior said she found
the guy you were looking for.

One of his friends introduced him
to a car repair shop.

His name's Jay.

He said he's coming by today
to pick it up.

What do we do? Do we tell the police?

TAMAKI CAR REPAIR SHOP

Excuse me!

Where's that Jay guy?

He's not here yet.
Why don't you go inside and wait?

Did he get in a fight? What did he do?

Rape.

Which car is his?

That red one over there.

Have you changed the back seat?

He asked me to clean up.

Did you see any hair fall out?

-Long black hair.
-Hair?

Not sure…

You smell anything?

Like a sweet smell.

You mean, a fruit from the trunk?

Stop!

Hold it!

Halt!

Here you go.

Here.

Some ice for that.

Because of the weight difference,
there was no helping it.

I'm gonna have
some of this first, thanks.

Did he hit you?

I hit him, he hit me,
and then he ran away.

-That was reckless.
-You have any right to talk, though?

You know,

I was born in Okinawa.

Act surprised.

-I am surprised.
-Like, barely.

What's that?

How old were you when you left?

About 10 years old.

After I moved to Tokyo,

talking about Okinawa
became a forbidden topic.

Whenever something
about Okinawa came on TV,

I'd quickly switch the channel.

Even got rid of all
my Okinawan belongings, like my Shisa.

Taco rice wasn't allowed in my house.

It turns out my father
was American, too.

Stationed at the American base.

He was an Asian man

paired with my well-dressed mother.

They were smiling in the picture.

That's all I know.

I don't have any intel about
his whereabouts or even his name.

I guess

he must have left my mom.

Single-mother households
are often looked down upon, right?

There was this old guy

who's the head of
the neighborhood association,

and when I wasn't around,

he'd go into our home…

and assault my mother.

When I confronted him,

he actually got mad.

"Pay your dues, and don't be late."

He walked out, mumbling,
"This is why you're an amejo."

What was that all about?

I am…

an Okinawan, born here,
a native, a mainlander,

with some Asian American blood in me.

Whether I'm Komatsu, Bauko, Kinu, Kie,

or whoever, it doesn't matter.

Above all, I'm a woman.

Being a woman is the one constant

I can't alter.

A guest has been trying
to call you for a while.

Go.

Please transfer the money ASAP.

Yeah, all right.

I'll put your article online first.

When are you coming back?

I can't go back.

I'm here to file charges.

I want to file assault charges
against an American soldier.

Even with
the Status of Forces Agreement,

an indictment will get him
off the fence.

Isn't that right?

OPPOSITION FAKED ALLEGED RAPE
BY US SOLDIER IN OKINAWA?
