Forbidden Siren (サイレン)

America, 1590

All 117 islanders of Roanoke disappeared

leaving a mysterious word,"Croatan.”

Atlantic Ocean 1872

The Marie Celeste was found drifting.

All the crew members were gone.

The log said,"December 4. My wife..."

It abruptly ended there.

Yamijima,Japan,1976

Any survivors?

None.

Any clue?

None.

Forward!

This island is weird.

Are we in Japan?

Where are the inhabitants?

Search the houses.

Let's go.

Go ahead!

What's this?

What's up?

Still warm.

Not only this house. Other houses too.

Leader!

Yes?

I've found a man.

In a house on the far side of town.

Only one?

The others?

I don't know what he's saying.

Where are the others?

Where did the others go?

Tell me! What happened?

The siren.

What?

When I heard the third siren...

Take him away.

If you hear the siren,don't go out.

What?

If you hear the siren,don't go out.

If you hear the siren,don't go out.

If you hear the siren,don't go out.

If you hear the siren...

What's up? You miss Tokyo so soon?

I know how you feel. Be patient.

Sure. It's for the sake of my brother.

Is it a new house?

The one the publisher found for us.

It's a solitary house.

Solitary?

He said it's furnished,

with a large garden.

You can't get one like that in Tokyo.

Stop,Hideo!

Don't run,or you'll have a fit again.

Hideo

He's so excited he'll be sick.

Look!

That one?

Yes. Yamijima.

Dr. Minamida?

Hello. We talked on the phone.

Yuki,meet Dr. Minamida.

Hello.

How do you do?

Hideo,say hello to him.

I'm sorry.

I got the message from the hospital.

She's better than I thought.

I hope she'll be doing all right here.

Don't run. You'll be sick.

Hideo! Stop!

This island looks exotic...

Yamijima.

The foreigners' influence.

Centuries ago,they drifted to the island.

After WW2,the U.S. Army built a radar site.

That's why.

I see.

Come on.

Shall we go?

Here we are.

See you later.

Come to my clinic.

Thank you very much.

Father.

We should have bought new furniture.

Why?

We won't live here for the rest of our lives.

Don't try to be funny.

Unpack your things.

Yes?

Thank you for helping me.

Never mind. We're neighbors.

But what brought you here?

My brother needs a change.

Really? Tough luck.

Ask me anything about the island.

Thank you.

It may sound funny to a Tokyo girl,but

on the island neighbors help each other.

Don't go out after dark.

Wild animals run around the iron tower.

And...if you hear the siren,don't go out.

The siren? What do you mean?

Nothing special. A kind of legend..

But the islanders seem to believe it.

My daughter is all right.

A neighbor helps us.

Of course

We get plenty of sunshine.

The house is big and furnished well.

What's more,

even sunshine smells of the sea.

The best.

Don't worry. I'll send the report by e-mail.

I'll start investigating today.

Yamijima Clinic

That's all for today.

Let's keep observing for a while.

Hideo,I'll talk with the doctor. Wait outside.

Don't go away.

I'm relieved.

He's afraid of doctors. But he likes you.

That's fine.

Will he really get cured?

He had another fit.

Don't be hasty.

This isn't Tokyo.

Keep your time.

Time goes by slowly here.

I'm worried.

Can I get along with the people here?

They don't open their hearts to strangers.

But they're nice people.

You'll like them in time.

I hope so.

If you're in trouble,tell me.

The wind?

We call it the cry of a mermaid.

The difficult terrain of the island causes it.

If you hear it,you'll be taken away.

Taken away?

Where does it come from?

Where the iron tower stands.

Even the islanders keep away from it.

Don't go there.

Only in the precious mirror

Will appear the true reason.

Looking into the mirror,

Dog turns to God,

To live is evil.

Hideo!

Hideo!

Why? It's deserted.

Don't pull a trick.

Hideo! Are you there?

The definition of siren...

A legend of mermaids...

August 2. After a long blackout,

the third siren changed people.

What are you doing?

The siren.

If you hear the siren,don't go out.

If you hear the siren,don't go out!

So you're here.

Those who remain unchanged

Are blessed with an eternal life.

They live forever beyond reasons.

Only in the sacred mirror

Will appear the true reason...

Don't sing that song.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Going out?

To take pictures of nocturnal animals.

I'll go to the forest.

It's dangerous near the tower. Be careful.

I'll be back early in the morning.

Goodbye.

Out of range.

Come here.

Come over here.

Whom are you calling?

I'm right beside you.

If the siren sounds,I'll take you away.

Who is this?

Hello.

Hello!

The siren...

Hideo,it's the siren!

If you hear the siren,don't go out.

The wind is strong.

Father!

Mr. Amamoto!

Father!

No islanders enter the forest at night.

I hope he'll be safe.

Did you tell the police?
