The first 200 lines.
A long time ago, a monster came to live in the hills.
The monster attacked people.
In fear, the people asked God for help.
But God did nothing to save them.
You mean, God just watched?
At first the monster did not intend to harm people.
It was lonely so it wanted to talk to people walking by.
But they reacted to him in fear and fled.
The angry monster turned into a fox creature and attacked people.
Those who were attacked also became monsters.
That's why there were so many monsters.
Sato, come on!
The water is super salty!
This is fun, jump in quick!
Hey, why are you looking so bored?
Jump in if you want it back.
Jump! Jump!
Come on.
I don't want to.
Hurry up and jump!
Jump! Jump!
Out of the way!
The summer sky and pee
Sato!
Sato, are you OK?
Are you OK? Can you swim?
Oh, no!
Can you swim?
Are you OK?
This is bad.
Hold onto this.
She's got it.
Are you alright?
Sato!
You have to come with me!
Are you OK?
What are you children doing to her?
Sato.
Out of the way!
Can you climb?
I don't know the details but let's hurry.
Put these on, OK?
Change in the car.
I'll be back by evening. Be good at Grandma's.
You want to go to the toilet?
I'll be a minute so wait here for me.
How's Sato going?
She hasn't talked or cried since the funeral.
I can't figure her out.
Is Sato going away?
She'll live with her granddad.
I don't know what to do with her...
After my wife died, my daughter and her kids stopped visiting.
Sato, let's go.
Sato.
You'd better go take a pee.
Oh, no! You can only do it in your own toilet!
You couldn't do it at the sea...
I don't have any.
What do you mean?
Maybe I can never do it again.
Don't be silly! If you don't, you'll die!
You'll be OK.
Right, Sato?
Sato!
All my family went to see the new high-rise apartments on the hill.
Dad, Mom and big sister were all smiling.
Only I wasn't happy because I hadn't been able to find my favorite shoes.
As usual my big sister Aya tried to comfort me.
Is she still cranky?
Don't be upset. Those shoes are cute!
It's time you snapped out of that mood!
Mom!
It's a cicada skin!
Where? I can't see...
There.
Oh, so it is!
A cicada skin...a lifeless shell. Is it about me?
Do kids at school make that face?
Stop it! You'll get stuck with that funny face.
It's beautiful.
It's heavenly.
Let's try to get along now that we are living together.
We only have each other.
You'll have to take care of yourself.
Are you listening to me?
Ouch...
What?
Oh...my tummy hurts.
Was it something you ate?
Where's it hurt?
Here?
I want some medicine...
Stay here. I'll be back.
"Pharmacy"
Sato!
Sato!
Sato!
On the 22nd of last month, a tragedy struck Mamoru Ogawa and his family.
Mamoru Ogawa, his wife and daughter were killed in their living room.
The suspect, Seiji Takeda, 36, was found dead in a hotel room.
Police found the knife possibly used in the murders.
A note found described work grievances the killer had with his victim.
The police believe that Takeda killed himself.
Dad...Mom...Aya!
Next news.
The juvenile who killed your family got an indefinite prison sentence.
He deserves a death sentence.
I'll kill him myself.
The boy killed my wife and daughter for no rational reason.
"Death penalty ruled out for the minor offender."
Even if the law protects him
I'm going to kill him myself.
My wife and daughter deserved to live a long, fulfilling life!
They were both young... with their futures ahead of them.
The only retribution for his crime is his own life.
"Tomoki Satou"
Even if he was a minor at the time of his crime
he can't get away with it.
He will get just retribution.
So you won't appeal?
No. Appeals are out of the question.
I want him back in society, within my reach as soon as possible.
That's all I want.
Grandpa...
Sato.
I've decided not to die.
I'll outlive my sister...then my mother.
The man I wanted to kill died before I had a chance.
Kaya, it feels nice.
Kaya!
Cherry blossom and a snowman
"proxy murder services"
"Well retaliate for you"
"We'll kill for you."
"Sample cases..."
"All you have to do is e-mail us."
"How can I kill a man to avenge my wife and daughter"
"when the man's in prison?"
There they are!
Kaijima! You're so late!
But I didn't miss you!
Believe or not, Kaijima was with in the high school judo team.
What's your first name again?
Never mind. Sit down.
Sorry I was late.
I brought this!
Thank you.
Sachin, you made it! How have you been?
I've been doing so-so.
I could be dead for all I know.
Kaijima! Come and sit here.
Have a beer.
She's Naoko Yokota. She runs my shop.
Naoko Yokota!
I heard you!
She is pretty!
And single.
Oh, please, guys.
Hey you! Want a beer?
Let's have a toast!
To us.
Cheers!
Are you still playing baseball?
Of course!
He's a manager now!
Your dream came true!
Of a little league team!
A manager is a manager.
Manager! Here's to you.
At the time Mitsuo Aikawa was a socially maladjusted 18-years-old.
Aikawa assaulted the victim with a fist-sized rock.
The victim was hit 18 times and died as a result.
Aikawa had no criminal record or history of violence.
when he put my hysterical daughter in the water and strangled her.
Taking his problematic childhood into consideration
he deserves a chance at rehabilitation.
Thereby the court sentences him
to serve indefinitely.
Look, it's beautiful...!
It's a job for the police!
Go catch that weirdo.
I'll go and take a look.
Go with her, Kaijima.
Why me?
Insanity is contagious!
Just go, come on!
Hold it! Don't touch him!
Leave him alone!
Get the paramedics.
Let's go!
My shoe!
Haruki, there's no need to hurry.
"Michio and Haruki Kaijima"
You have tissues?
Sure do!
Don't run.
You might fall.
Don't fall.
Haruki.
