01x02 - Episode 2

Post by bunniefuu »

There's something I learned

back in the fire academy.

Before there is a serious accident,

there are 29 small incidents,
and 300 tell-tale signs.

I think it's called Heinrich's Law.

What?

Earthquake alert.

Where are we?

The coupler's broken,
and the car's missing.

Where are we?

There's no water, food,
or communication signal here.

A world stuck in pending.

The cart full of water and tea
was stolen by someone!

Stolen?

Water?

I want to drink so bad.

Was it you?

Maybe it was someone who left,
or there could be others.

No.

It was definitely one of us here.

You tried to keep it for yourself!

Who was it?

Who took it?

H-Hold up.

Nobody's going to come forward
if you ask like that.

Okay, everyone,
we're all going to close our eyes,

so please go put it back
where you found it.

Okay.

Be quiet.

-Sorry. I'll zip it.
-Hey.

What do you have in that bag?

-Hey!
-Let me take a look.

Quiet down!

It hurts my tooth!

Calm down, everyone!

I know!

I know.

I saw it.

It was by a tree, really far away.

I took one when I found it,
but there's lots left.

Why didn't you say so?

I plum forgot.

Stop fooling around and tell us...

Then get on your knees!

Just kidding.

I'll tell you where it is,
but what're we doing?

Are we sharing like a family
or maybe rationing?

We'll share equally
so it lasts as long as it can.

-Yes, let's share.
-We use a system.

Are you stupid?

They'll steal it.

-They'll riot.
-We'll trust each other.

-Trust them, here?
-We have to, to survive!

No, we need doubt to survive.

If you have water please share.

Some people aren't feeling well.

-I'm okay.
-No, you're not!

You're really sweating.

Okay, fine.

No need to pressure me.

I'll go get it.

Can I come with you then?

I'd like to collect plants.

I'll come too.

How about we show
what we all have while we wait.

Like food?

-Yes.
-I'm for it.

We should be sharing equally.

It's a win-win.

You even know what it means?

It's not mandatory,
only if you can spare it.

Yes, it's hard to imagine help
will be here soon anyway.

Let's secure food and water
to prepare for the long-term.

Cypress trees.

Found it!

Huh?

It's gone.

So it was gone?

That's what I told you!

-Someone stole it!
-This is the worst.

Seriously?

Hey.

Hey!

Who did it?

It's gotta be one of us.

Let's not accuse each other.

Then who did it?

A bear? A boar?

Or a future man?

What're we gonna do?

This is all we have.

This won't even last a day.

I got it!

There's always something stuck
between here. Excuse me.

What's this?

Freaking trash?

How scary.

Why isn't help coming anyway?

Is this really the future?

The future.

I don't believe that.

That's just ridiculous.

A train couldn't break the speed of light,
none of this makes scientific sense.

But look around us.

Maybe we were thrown to a nearby mountain?

Yes, we're just stranded on a mountain.

A helicopter or something
will come soon to help...

Are you okay?

I need water.

I'm sorry, excuse me.

May I borrow this?

Yes.

Thank you.

Um, I'd like to help too.

Can you make it up here?

Yes.

One, two.

Be careful.

It's pretty high.

Okay.

You're collecting rain?

Exactly.

Somewhere with so much
vegetation has to get frequent rain.

Plus, there can be dew.

We need to secure water first, don't we?

A person can last
three minutes without air.

Three days without water.

Three weeks without food.

It's been two days already.

Look.

The moon.

It's a full moon.

Looking at the moon makes
me crave okonomiyaki pancakes.

Okonomiyaki pancakes?

There was an okonomiyaki place
near my old dorm.

I went all the time.

Sounds nice.

I'd love to go.

Gosh.

What am I saying?

Now's not the time.

I'll take you.

Let's make lots of promises like that.

For when we make it back one day.

Okay.

Mr. Kayashima?

What're you doing?

I'm catching the one who stole
the water from the cart.

They're going to go get it while
everyone's asleep.

Future diary, night two.

I want water.

I can drink a whole pool at this point.

What's that?

A reed.

Reed?

Reed.

"Man is a thinking reed."

I know that one.

That's Pascal.

Who?

A French philosopher.

He also said,

"Man is neither angel nor beast."

"and unhappily..."

Thank you.

"...whoever wants to act the angel,
acts the beast."

I need to pee.

MAN STABBED TO DEATH NEAR
KITASENJU STATION

We don't know if one of us did it.

Then what do we do without water?

We're all gonna die of thirst.

I mean,

not that I care.

You should sleep a little inside.

Anyone come out?

No, nobody.

I'll look for water.

Huh?

With this much vegetation,
there should be water somewhere.

I'll try north.

We have to find some.

Are you really okay with dying of thirst?

I'm exhausted.

TSUKUBA EXPRESS

This one should be safer.

What are you doing?

There are pores on
the back of leaves that take in CO2.

When it opens, there's transpiration
that releases H2O.

Especially in the morning.

You came.

As someone said,

dying from thirst
would really piss me off.

Are you okay with your feet?

Worry about them instead.

Them?

The ones on the train.

I bet they're fighting,
trying to figure out

who took the water.

Please save us, oh Lord.

Please save us.

Are you okay, Ms. Terasaki?

I'm not okay.

I hate thinking there's a thief among us.

E-Excuse me.

Could you stop singing, Mr. Tanaka?

It's finished!

Now I can use this to finally

get this tooth out!

Tooth?

Are you kidding me with this?

Huh?

Where's my battery?

This was supposed to be for all of us.

You took it from that bag, didn't you?

Thief!

I didn't take it.

That's mine.

I ate it a while ago.

Apologize.

-Sorry.
-You called me a thief.

Apologize properly.

I'm sorry,

for doubting...

Ah! That!

Pervert!

This is mine.

What? I just borrowed it.

It's completely empty.

Shut up.

Apologize.

-Drink this.
-Power thief.

You apologize first.

Thanks.

-You first.
-So annoying.

-Apologize, power thief.
-Huh? What?

-You apologize.
-Power thief! Power thief!

Water!

N-No way, you kicked it!

Mr. Station Worker!

Can you do something about this commotion?

I'm off the clock.

Wake up if this is a dream.

I hope I wake up at home.

I didn't kick it!

Doesn't matter who kicked it.

You guys are both at fault.

-Shut up.
-You shut up.

What are you, a little kid?

Stay out of this old lady.

Apologize already!

So loud! Shut up already!

My mother,

she used to say

unrest in the heart

affects the spirit.

Let's put it in order.

Put it in order?

Put what?

We will start cleaning the train car.

There may be disputes, but I have to trust
we'll settle our differences in the end.

What's with that face?

Read between the lines.

I've seen a lot of disasters.

Some of them really bad,
with burn victims and dead bodies.

But I learned something seeing people
help each other despite it all.

Keep your head and your conscience
intact no matter what.

Trust people.

If you do, you will always find a path.

A path through the crisis.

Sorry,

I think Ms. Hatano here is about the only
one who'd fall for that crap.

No, I'm not falling for anyone.

I'm sure you grew up in a wealthy family.

No, a regular family.

My Dad's a coast guard in
the marine rescue unit.

That right?

Sorry, my parents were typical low lifes.

They were?

My dad's yakuza,
and my mom's serving time.

Then your letter from prison...

I thought this guy seemed like a criminal.

He had a letter from prison.

I'm lying.

Don't make stupid lies.

Because you'll just
judge me for the truth.

My parent is actually the CEO
of a national salon chain.

The type to own a private jet.

Wow.

Another lie, isn't it?

How'd you know?

You had an evil look on your face.

I don't like those lies either.

Truth is, my girlfriend died
in an accident last year.

This letter

is from the driver responsible.

Her death anniversary is coming up soon.

Tomorrow actually.

This is the first apology letter.

Now,

was that a lie or the truth?

That's not cool.

Cut it out.

That's enough!

-W-Wait!
-S-Stop!

Hold on!

Wait.

Frog.

It's damp.

He's right.

Maybe...

I got it out!

I got it out!

It's damp.

Water.

You're right.

There's water on top.

How do we climb it?

How do we climb it?

Hey!

You!

You were the one who took it?

Thank you for your help!

It may be cramped,

but this side is for the women,

and that side is for the men.

The middle is the common area.

Also, those are the belongings
of the people who left.

-So let's leave them for now.
-Okay!

I claim this spot.

It's so nice to have our own spot.

Now, I just need an outlet by my pillow.

If I could get online, I could
make so many posts.

I could share my true thoughts.

Then these adults wouldn't have to
argue with each other.

They'd keep to themselves.

Water!

-Huh?
-What?

It's been found.

Really?

Where?

Oh my God, water!

Water!

Where was it?

Don't you touch it!

What will you give me for it?

What do you mean, this was originally...

I have the rest somewhere safe.

You can trade me for it.

Food, medicine, clothes, towel, even cash.

No way! Are you being serious?

That's a good one.

I'm serious!

You're psycho.

What's with him?

You're not in charge here.

Hand it all over already.

-Ow!
-That's no way to speak to me!

Move, you're in my way.

Hurry up and eat.

Okay.

I'm off then.

Yes, I'm in charge here.

Oyama did?

I'm terribly sorry.

Everyone, disrespecting me.

Don't underestimate me! I'm not to be...

Stop!

You don't want water?

You've got this coming.

Mr. Kayashima!

Stop!

No violence!

Why'd you stop me,
this guy's clearly crazy.

-Put that away.
-You can't let this slide.

Everyone's stressed,
anyone could lose control.

Lose control? That?

We don't have food or water,
but we need to keep our sanity.

We need to draw a line and show people
what happens when you cross it.

I don't want to do that.

Then you can't protect them.

You told me!

That you'd save everybody.

We will resolve this situation
by talking it out.

What's the point if we can't even do that?

Then let's do this rationally.

We'll take a vote.

Raise your hand if you don't mind
this guy staying in the group.

Mr. Tanaka.

Can you swear you'll never do this again?

Yes, I'm sorry.

I'll bring the rest of the water.

I'm so sorry.

Raise your hand
if you'll let this guy stay.

You count.

Okay.

-Yes.
-Yes.

Yes.

All who oppose?

Me, definitely not.

Absolutely against it.

It's a total split.

And you?

You're not gonna say yes, are you?

You shouldn't pressure her.

CAR FIVE

Please promise you'll never do this again.

Yes, of course.

Let's allow Mr. Tanaka to stay.

No way.

Why?

Thank you.

Thank you.

-Here you go.
-Oh! Water!

Everyone gets one bottle for now!

The rest will be held!

Water!

One each!

-Who hasn't received one?
-It's so good!

Who didn't get one?

It's crazy good!

I'm alive again!

How can water taste so good?

I can't drink this all at once,
I have to make sure it lasts.

Now we just need to wait for rescue.

Somebody come already.

3RD YEAR, GROUP 3, NO.15
KOJI TAKEDA

Here.

Someone left them behind.

I'm not sure they'll fit.

You'd do this for the group outcast?

Such a welcome blessing.

Wow! Perfect fit.

Um,

about earlier...

It's fine.

I'm the one who put it to a vote.

Or let me guess.

Is it because you're a fan
of Mr. Shirahama?

Of course you'd side with him.

I mean, I don't know
what kind of person you are.

It's scary to follow someone
who doesn't trust anyone.

I think this should work!

We'll make it longer and go
get that water tomorrow.

You got it.

Okay.

What a hero!

Keep it up.

That's really impressive.

Ready?

You should all rest a bit.

You got this, Mr. Fireman.

Okay.

Hey, so what if you fall?

That's what this is for.

Here.

No way this will work.

It's okay, we'll catch you.

-No way!
-It's going to break for sure.

Doesn't seem possible.

Stop being so negative.

Will this work?

It has to work.

Go, Mr. Fireman!

Be careful!

Wow.

You can do it.

You can do it.

We'll have to make footholds later.

Be careful.

-Hold on!
-Okay!

I'm okay!

It's water.

What's the deal?

Is there water?

Do you see anything?

There's water!

-For real?
-Alright!

Yes!

Thank goodness!

Thank God.

Let's get this water back.

Hey.

Mr. Shirahama.

What's up?

Where...

are we?

Is it true?

Is this the...?

There wasn't anything I could see.

Mt. Fuji.

I still can't believe it,

I don't want to believe it.

But we could be decades in the future.

I'm not sure if it's a few decades
or centuries.

That can't be true.

The other people.

So they all died?

Probably a w*r or something.

Or a disaster,

or a mystery virus.

It can't be.

Don't make stuff up.

Why?

It's already happened.

You all just pretended not to see.

Are you for real?

There's no way.

I won't believe it.

Where are you going?

Home!

Ms. Terasaki!

Don't go, it's dangerous!

I have a family!

Let me go home! Hey!

-Wait!
-Go away!

Yura!

Yura!

Where are you?

Yura!

Listen. My wife should've been aboard.

-I'm very sorry, we still...
-Calm down, we're still investigating.

We've been waiting long enough.

How much longer do you need?

My son as well!

Where is my daughter?

We need an explanation!

I'm sorry, we can't answer
anything right now.

They all died?

I don't know.

Nothing makes sense.

Dad.

Mom.

Dad!

Mom!

Why?

Why did this happen?

I hated everyone.

What a relief.

That's cold.

I hated all of you!

Maybe I can get connected.

Miraculously pick up a signal somehow.

No, my battery's dying.

Mine too.

Me too.

Mine's already dead.

Future diary, day four.

I will leave this just in case.

Dad.

Ma.

Sis, Miko.

I hope you get along without me.

Akira.

Futa, Gakkun.

Have a good life.

Promise me.

See ya.

Please,

please send.

POST FAILED

It won't work.

There's no signal.

I know, but someone might find it
decades or centuries from now.

Mom.

It's Hiroko.

How are things there?

You're all right?

Are you eating enough?

I-I'm worried.

I'm sorry, Professor,
I am sending you this just in case.

The password for
the research file is kato_0620.

UNABLE TO SEND

Dad and Yura are making dinner tonight.

Honey.

Yura.

It's Mom.

What're you making?

Hamburgers.

Hamburgers?

You must be one of the families.

Is your mother...

I'm sorry.

I promise to come home.

So wait for me.

I love you.

I love you both.

I love you both.

Ms. Hatano?

Anyone you want to leave a message for?

My parents back home.

My brother.

My best friend since childhood.

Also,

my students.

That's so many.

Welcome.

It's been four days since the incident,

and still no leads for finding the missing
passengers as the search continues.

This incident occurred at 8:23 a.m.
on the 22nd when a train bound for...

Tatsuya.

Um,

here.

What's this?

You said her death anniversary was today.

My girlfriend died in an accident.

It's tomorrow.

I know it must be difficult,
so I brought you this.

You're so stupid.

Why did you believe me?

Don't take it seriously.

Wait, that was a lie too?

Yeah.

What a waste trusting you even a little.

My little brother.

I have a little brother.

Say grace.

Let's eat.

But we had different dads,
and he's 12 years younger,

I could barely look after him.

We were hanging on by a thread,

and while I was busy supporting us,
that idiot became a thug.

Tatsuya!

What are you doing, man?

What the hell are you doing, man?

Haven't talked since the incident.

What is this?

He's not dead yet.

- What're you waiting for! Go find him!
-Tatsuya!

-Calm down!
-Stop!

-Hey!
-Calm down!

Find them already!

I know he's not dead!

Screw you!

The day we came here,

he was going to be released.

What's your brother's name?

Tatsuya.

Tatsuya, your brother's here.

Say something since you lost your phone.

I've got nothing to say.

-Hurry! The battery is dying!
-I'll pass.

-Stop trying to act cool! Say something!
-I'm not!

I told you I'm fine,
you stupid carefree idiot.

Stop calling me stupid.

And you shouldn't have wasted
your battery so much!

On a stranger at that.

You're not a stranger.

I think I learned
what kind of person you are now.

You're kind.

Before an accident,

there are several signs.

Every time,

EXTINGUISH FIRE

we only realize after.

YUTO

You told me before.

Back in that fire.

There must be a reason

I made it out alive.

YUTO

I couldn't say this before,

but I loved you.

We will never get back

the time that's gone.

Only our memories remain.

Painfully so.

The missing people,

we looked through
camera footage and train pass activity

to identify 68 people from car five,

and 64 from car six.

We've found no leads.

Attention everyone,
it's time to go to bed.

Good night.

Good night.

You'll die.

Move if you don't want to.

I'll save everyone.

You'll help each other one day.

He tried to k*ll us!

Help us!

You go crazy?

Someone matching the suspect's
description boarded the train.

Somebody!
