Original subtitles

What about those people outside? Are they sick?

In biological terms, they're dead.

Living corpses.

What have you been doing here?

That's my boyfriend.

Could you please let me join your party?

You told me you would try to help Hibiki.

Let me go with you!

We've been watching you this whole time,

and you have a gun, don't you?

We won't give them the gun and we'll get Kanae back.

Let's all survive this together.

To put it simply, she is the last hope for our world.

Lower the gun.

You're the ones who should lower their weapons.

In this world, the one who believes loses.

- Done. - Let's go, then.

Hey. Ms. Nakagoshi...

- Wait a second! - Keep moving!

Was that really all a performance?

Even with things as they are,

I'm still an actress.

Let's go. Come on!

Dr. Ogasawara,

you were a normal evacuee like all the others, weren't you?

Yes.

So why volunteer for something this dangerous?

I'm looking for someone.

But I won't cause you any problems!

- I'll fulfill my role... - That's not it.

I have a family too.

I understand how you feel.

- Are you okay? - What?

I'm sorry we didn't come for you sooner. Are you hurt?

- Nothing major. - I'm glad.

What the...

Surprised?

We've imprisoned all the Golems from the mall inside here.

How could you possibly get so many of them in one place?

We controlled them.

I guess you could call it that.

What do you mean "control"?

- Again? Go check if anything's wrong. - Yes, sir.

- Mom! - Yuzuki!

What do you intend to do with us?

We've handed over all our weapons.

You can let us go now.

Is that a joke?

Humans hold grudges, don't they? We wouldn't want you seeking revenge.

We won't do that.

I wonder...

After all, humans are scarier than Golems.

You don't mean...

Halt!

- Open it! - Yes, sir!

What is that?

Hey!

Mr. Tsuboi, the elevator froze during the power outage.

There are people trapped inside.

And the emergency generator?

- It's broken too. - Fix it immediately.

How?

Can you hold on a bit longer?

What?

We'll all leave here for Yokohama together.

Just hang on.

There must be somebody! Find someone to fix it.

I can fix it.

I work at an auto repair shop.

If it's just a generator, I can handle it.

You're planning to run, aren't you?

Take him. If he does anything suspicious, feel free to kill him.

Wait here. We'll check the perimeter.

Don't go near that building.

There may be survivors in there. Prepare for rescue.

- Right. - Let's go.

Yes, sir.

WE'RE ALIVE. COME TO YOKOHAMA...

TO MY HUSBAND, MEGUMI IS WITH ME. WE'VE FLED TO YOKOHAMA.

WE'RE OKAY.

Don't move.

You. Don't try anything, okay?

Fix it.

Man, what do we do now?

They're planning to kill us, aren't they?

We're going to end up like those things!

Mr. Mamiya may come to our rescue.

He told me before he left

that we would all leave for Yokohama together.

You mean it?

Hibiki has a plan to save us?

Don't hold your breath.

How do you know he's not planning to run away on his own?

He betrays people in the end.

Aren't you done yet?

If it's not fixed, you're dead.

- I'm done. - Is that so?

Yes.

Would you like to check yourself?

With regards to the cause of the Golem virus's spread

throughout the Miura peninsula,

it may be that an adventitious virus was carried from the harbor

and then infected wild mice as an intermedia host

before suddenly mutating.

That's one possibility among others.

In reality, we don't know the truth yet.

This way.

Even so, because of the samples we've collected from the evacuation zone,

we know that several of the Golems carry the antibodies.

Antibodies?

Yes.

Antibodies are necessary for the creation of a vaccine.

Has this given you an idea of how important the task of sampling is?

Is that why you keep those Golems in the basement as well?

Of course. They're important research material.

And? When will the vaccine be ready?

We're on the cusp now.

Especially since we've acquired an effective sample.

Is it true?

Colonel Ushigome!

We were attacked while collecting samples.

- What? - Where did it happen?

The same bayside area where the terrorists were spotted.

There's no doubt it was the same group of terrorists.

We request reinforcements and permission to use lethal force on the terrorists.

Colonel Ushigome...

- Permission granted. - Yes, sir.

Lieutenant Colonel Mizumi.

Yes?

Please protect Kurumi Ogasawara.

Roger. But why?

We need her to complete the vaccine.

Yes, sir.

She herself

is a precious sample.

You're a doctor?

One of my companions said they saw you using medical tools.

Are you a doctor?

- I... - Answer the question!

I'm a doctor. What of it?

Haru.

Keep walking!

- What are you going to do to me? - Just walk!

I said walk.

He was injured while we were on the run.

Can you treat him?

You're a doctor, right?

Help him.

Are you playing tag?

The wound was festering, so I cleaned it up for now.

Thank you very much.

Are you through?

This was just a temporary measure.

He needs treatment at an actual medical facility.

Gee, thanks for the advice.

If I may...

What are you all doing here?

Better watch what you say.

Mr. Tsuboi! That man escaped!

I apologize. But he should still be on the premises.

Don't let him get away.

I'm sorry.

- Let's go. - Right.

Doctor...

Thank you again.

However,

you shouldn't worry about me.

What?

Can I ask you something?

What's the story between you and Mr. Mamiya?

Why ask now?

You said that he betrays people, didn't you?

Hibiki wouldn't betray us.

It was him who insisted on rescuing Kanae in the first place.

I believe in him. Hibiki won't

turn his back on us.

When did you become an expert?

I'm with you, Min-jun. I believe in Hibiki.

Me too.

I want to believe.

Has he come yet?

Hibiki Mamiya...

What a surprise. He escaped on his own.

Escaped?

I guess all of you...

got thrown out like garbage.

- I warned you. - That can't be...

Oh, but it can.

You've all been betrayed.

What?

What's this? Why the long faces?

You mean you still haven't figured it out?

I already gave you a lesson. How stupid can you be?

The dumber you are, the easier it is to fall for empty words.

"I promise I'll come for you. Just trust me and wait here!"

You cling to what you were told, then you wait and wait...

Until one day, it hits you.

I've been left behind.

Get it through your heads.

The rest of us learned our lessons long ago.

So you didn't run, after all.

Let me ask you one thing.

Those people...

It's not like they're your family or loved ones.

Why help them?

We're in this together.

Don't you think that's a little naive?

Have you forgotten how Mia double-crossed you?

It's true that I let her trick me.

- Then why... - But even now...

I still don't believe it was all an act.

What do you mean?

No one lies because they want to.

The same goes for you.

What are you talking about? Has your mind snapped?

I talked with your companions just now.

They were all ordinary people and they believe in you.

Both you and Ms. Nakagoshi

are lying to protect someone else.

Am I wrong?

We were quarantined

long before most people knew the virus had begun to spread.

- Quarantined? - Yes.

We were told that we were the first to be infected,

and quarantined at a research facility in Yokosuka.

People who came down with fevers or suffered fatigue for no clear reason

were pulled from throughout Yokosuka and gathered in one place.

It was as if we were pathogens ourselves.

They locked us inside and performed test after test.

Some of us really were infected.

But the majority

didn't have the virus at all.

Eventually,

the number of actual cases spread.

But even then,

even after the evacuation order, they kept us locked away

and no one came to our rescue.

- Why? - It was a cover-up.

One executed by elite officials who didn't want it revealed how we had been treated.

To the rest of the world, we remained feared carriers of the virus

and they left us for dead.

The one who saved us then

was Sir Tsuboi.

My parents

were what you'd call "influential" people within the region.

As their oldest son,

I got special treatment from the time I was born.

But when I came down with a fever and was suspected of infection,

no one thought twice about abandoning me.

Just like bacteria.

When circumstances change, everyone is quick to betray you.

That's the default setting of our world.

So why rescue your companions, then?

Companions?

It was you who rescued them.

Women and elderly. Children too.

You call those companions?

They're a bunch of helpless fools.

Even now, it's "Sir this," "Sir that."

And yet, you've met their expectations.

They just follow after me like sheep.

They'll betray me eventually, too.

That's not how you really feel.

What did you say?

Because they believe in you,

you believe in them.

That's how people are.

It was Sir Tsuboi who found this place too.

He put himself in danger to round the Golems up in one place.

All of us

owe him our lives many times over.

But what about those swords they carry?

They're not for killing people.

They're to protect us from the Golems.

If I can die here with Sir Tsuboi, that's good enough for me.

You'll heal fine with proper treatment.

I don't care anymore.

Even if I recover,

the world will still see me as germs.

That's not true!

I don't want to be a burden on my family.

My son's household

must have evacuated to Yokohama ages ago.

What good would it do him

to have some old man suspected of infection show up now?

Could there really be a son out there

who would be bothered to know his father is alive?

An acquaintance of mine

lost his mother

to illness at a young age.

His father disappeared soon afterward.

Most people

assumed he'd found a new lover and left his son behind.

They condemned him as a parent.

But even then, his son

continued to believe.

"My father will come home someday."

"He's alive and well somewhere."

You tell that story like it's your own.

Could it be that the son is someone important to you?

I believe in others

because I want them to believe in me.

Listen, Mr. Tsuboi, what if we all fled to Yokohama together?

With all of us moving as one, we're sure to make it.

Please. I'm begging you.

Believe in us. Please!

You really are naive.

Do you really think Yokohama is safe?

- What do you mean? - Find out for yourself.

Mr. Tsuboi! It's the SDF!

Our orders are as follows.

Priority one is to rescue and protect Kurumi Ogasawara.

When that is done, wipe out the terrorists. Move out.

Second Platoon, move out!

Damn it!

Sir Tsuboi!

Listen up, all of you. The SDF have raided the grounds.

Everyone, the SDF will give you protection.

Please surrender.

- So they can turn their backs on us again? - They won't!

I'll explain things to them.

- Liar! - Please believe me!

Sir Tsuboi, I'll remain here. I'll only slow you down.

I won't allow that.

We're all leaving together and we're not surrendering.

I don't trust you or them.

We'll buy time to run by releasing the Golems.

- Haru! - Yes, sir!

While they're distracted, we'll all make a break for it.

Okay. Gather your things!

- Take only what you need. - Right.

- Come on. Let's go. - This way, everyone. Follow me!

Mia, what are you doing?

We've got to run. Now!

Don't tell me you're...

I'm sorry.

But I can't just leave him behind!

Open fire!

No!

Stop it! Please!

Don't kill him!

That's my boyfriend.

It's just like you said!

Not all of it was an act!

That one is my real boyfriend.

When I was quarantined,

he waited for me without evacuating,

but then he was bitten by Golems as a result.

I know you have no reason to,

but believe me! Please!

Please...

I'm going to rescue the others.

- You should come with me... - No.

I'll run away on my own.

Fine.

Wait!

You and that woman from earlier... You're both so stupid, it makes me laugh.

What woman from earlier?

But while I'm laughing, I'll let you in on a little secret.

The magic spell that controls the Golems.

I can't take it anymore.

If it was bound to turn out like this,

we should have just let the public see us, don't you think?

Hey, do you remember?

When we talked about someday

holding hands on a date like a normal couple?

Our dream came true.

You know...

I've never been happier.

This way!

Do we have everyone? Follow me!

- I'm sorry, sir. - It's fine.

Thank you for saving my grandpa.

You're welcome.

Do you want it?

- What? - I'll give it to you.

H TO K

Where did you get this?

The man playing tag dropped it.

That man escaped.

Hibiki...

- Doctor! - Let's go.

Hibiki!

Hibiki!

Someone! Please help!

We really have been abandoned.

What?

- Hey! - Hibiki!

What the...

- Sorry I took so long. - Right.

Circadian rhythm?

The rhythm of the brain. Call it our internal clock.

When a person is infected by the Golem virus,

their circadian rhythm is distorted,

making them tired during the day and active at night.

In addition, our latest experiments revealed something new.

Golems are extremely sensitive to light.

In other words,

they are weak in the face of heat or flames.

Thank you.

- Let's go. - Run! Hurry!

Hibiki!

Hibiki!

- Come on. - I heard something just now.

It's no use. Let's go!

- Are you okay? - Forgive me.

Hibiki!

Hey. Wait, Todoroki! Don't!

Don't do it!

Hibiki!

Double Zero. This is Zero One. I've found Kurumi Ogasawara.

What the hell was that?

Hey! What the hell were you thinking?

Do you realize what you just did?

You shot a person with an arrow!

And what if I did? Those men killed Mr. Hongo...

You've finally shown your true colors.

You've wanted to deck me for a while now, haven't you?

In that case, let's settle this now.

I'm not taking another step with you.

Either you go or I go.

Two choices, same outcome.

What do the rest of you think?

Remember Mr. Uwajima. Between me and this jerk,

which one of us was right?

What about last night?

We followed his strategy, and look where it got us.

We nearly died because of him!

If not for this fool, we'd be in Yokohama by now!

You know I'm right.

It doesn't take much thought, does it?

Me or him?

Who's been right all along?

I'll go.

I've been wrong about everything.

- My boyfriend might be with them. - You can't.

Why?

They're terrorists.

That's a lie. You're wrong. Hibiki isn't like that!

Can you say that after seeing this?

It was a tall man.

He attacked us with a bow and arrow.

Hibiki!

With these hands, we're going to grasp hold of happiness.

Kurumi...

Is there someone there?

- Hibiki? - Kurumi...

Where are you, Kurumi?

Where are you?

Do you want to die?

Mr. Mamiya!

I'm going with you.

Why?

Hibiki,

since I came to Japan,

you're my first friend.

He may be the right one,

but I'd rather follow someone I can believe in.

You're friends with my daughter, after all.

I'm the type who goes with the majority.

Let's go.

HIBIKI, I'M AT THE GARRISON KURUMI

- Here you are. - Thank you.

And? What is it you wanted to talk about?

The surveillance footage.

It was you who stole it, wasn't it?

- I don't quite follow you. - Don't play dumb.

You told me, unequivocally, that man was a terrorist.

I believed you. That's why I altered that report.

Despite that,

you stole the video evidence.

Does that mean you were lying?

To what end?

Is the vaccine really near completion?

Why, yes. Of course it is.

If that's the case, why would you shift focus from your research and...

I won't forget you, Lieutenant Colonel Mizumi.

You've offered your life for the sake of medicine's evolution.

You have my gratitude.

Thanks to you,

I've shooed away a fly.

16 YEARS AGO

Doctor, my wife...

Where are you going?

Hibiki...

Do you believe in me?

What?

Come here.

I promise you I will come home.

Got it?

At the foot of Mt. Fuji?

Yes. They found signs my father had been there.

So I think this time, I might actually see him.

- I'll go with you... - Don't worry.

I'll go by myself.

Who would have believed in such a coincidence?

Hibiki Mamiya.

NEXT EPISODE

Don't move.

Help me!

I don't know

what's right or wrong anymore.

I'm only here to search for Hibiki.

Hibiki Mamiya is dead.
