Original subtitles

Good morning.

Are you okay, Ms. Kanbe?

I heard. Hirano's turned into a stalker, huh?

Yeah.

I will be in charge of watching over you.

We wouldn't want you to wander outside and end up getting attacked by that loser.

Did you hear from the Director?

Yeah, I had a LINE message from my brother when I woke up

and I flew out of bed to get here.

Did he say anything?

Anything? You mean besides the stalker stuff?

Are you and my brother finally...

Oh, no. That's not it.

Ms. Sumiyoshi, is everything all right?

What?

Yes. I can. I'll be right there.

What?

Let's go, Miku!

But...

Ms. Sumiyoshi.

What? You're already here? What about work?

I took the day off for personal reasons.

I'm also off on special assignment.

So...

Is it true that the Director came to visit you this morning?

My brother? But why?

Oh, oh, no...

I heard.

He's your brother, right?

It was quite the shock.

You two asked Director Suzuki to do that for me, right?

MEDICAL REPORT

I have contacted the doctor.

Here is the referral letter.

He said he knew a great doctor and got me in with a top specialist for my cancer.

-The Director did? -My brother did?

Thanks to him, I can transfer to another hospital for surgery.

Surgery?

You mean it's operable?

I wish I didn't have to say this,

but the cancer has spread to other organs and lymph nodes.

It would be difficult to remove it completely with surgery.

So, does that mean it's too late?

The doctor really gave me a scare.

Said if we'd caught it even a little later, it would've been too late.

Hard to believe my husband's cheating actually helped me.

Well, it may take a little time,

but I'll get the bad part cut out and make my comeback.

Just wait and see.

That's great.

I'm so happy for you...

Come on, now. This is too much.

But... I'm sorry...

I'm so glad.

-Well, that's great for Ms. Sumiyoshi. -Yeah.

But I'm a bit surprised.

I can't believe my brother actually came to the hospital.

The number you have dialed cannot be reached.

-Miku. -Huh?

Can you reach the Director?

No one can get a hold of him.

My father said he hasn't come into work either.

Anyway, let's get you back somewhere safe.

-Okay. -Okay.

Yuto, what's going on?

Huh? My brother?

Late last night, Mr. Suzuki contacted me.

I met him at my cafe this morning.

I'd like you to keep a close eye on Reina Esaka's behavior from now on.

Ms. Esaka?

Yes. And also...

I want you to keep this for me.

If anything happens to me,

please use it for Ms. Kanbe.

I promised not to open it unless it was an emergency,

but I got so worried...

I thought you might be in trouble, so...

-You opened it? -You opened it?

Yes, I opened it.

And...

She's a real monster, isn't she?

1 MISSED CALL

This is Suzuki from Corporate Strategy. Can we talk?

It was good to see you last night.

What do you want?!

I hear you missed work again today.

That's a full week of unexcused absences now.

Keep this up and you'll be fired.

Shut up!

I can quit your stupid company anytime I want!

What are you going to do after you quit?

You've racked up quite a bit of debt, haven't you?

You are still young.

This path you're on leads to nothing but failure.

It's none of your business!

I'll kill you!

I want to make a deal.

Huh?

I'd like to make amends.

I will compensate you for the emotional distress you've incurred

and your situation in the company will be made as favorable as possible.

You think money can fix this?

Right now, I'm in Toyama.

Toyama?

Why are you in Misa's hometown? Is Misa with you?

Would you be willing to talk it over with me?

I'd like to offer you a fresh start in life.

Who were you talking to?

What are you planning to do?

It's just for self-defense.

Are you going to see Misa?

Hey, where are you going?

Toyama.

Toyama...

Seriously, where did he go?

Sorry, Kamekichi, I need to get in here.

Ms. Kanbe, here it is.

My brother's computer.

I believe it's synced to his calendar.

Let me handle this.

He's got everything set to "kamekichi."

PERSONAL CHECK

Lay ashes to rest at Seieiji Temple.

On the way back...

Toga Bridge.

Tomoya says... he's going to Toyama.

Guess he's going to go see that woman.

Mother, did you know?

Toyama is a very cold place.

My great-uncle's house would get these awful drafts,

and it never warmed up, even with the stove burning.

I always hated those winters.

What do you think?

Tomoya...

Is he going to kill Misa?

That's kind of...

It's actually really...

boring.

Mother? Mother! What a relief!

I was bored out of my mind with you asleep like that.

I bought some delicious apples to eat with you.

You...

to me...

What?

Lied...

Horrible!

Lie!

You mean about the baby?

I've got plenty of time to pop out as many kids as I want.

Well, if Tomoya has the money to support them, that is.

Monster!

Are you referring to me?

Mother, the real monster isn't me, it's...

You... wicked... woman.

It's... your... fault!

Shut up!

Stop talking like that!

Why are you being so mean?

Didn't you say you always wanted a daughter?

Mother, let's go shopping together again, arm in arm, in Ginza, what do you say?

Get... out!

Stay... away...

from... Tomo!

I knew you were only after the baby.

I knew that.

But it still... makes me sad, Mother.

I... am... not... your...

fucking mother!

TOMOYA HIRANO There's a taxi waiting at the station.

Please get in. The driver knows where to go.

KANBE FAMILY

It's been a long time, sir.

Thanks to you,

I was able to meet her. Misa is fine.

She got rid of her husband and that woman,

and she has made some friends.

She seems to be having a good time at work, too.

So... please don't worry.

In your daughter's second life...

I will always be there to protect her.

Thank you for coming all this way.

Where's Misa?

She's somewhere else. I'll drive us there.

Why do I have to go on a drive with you?

Where's Misa?

Hey.

Hey.

Answer me!

Tell me...

what did Misa say about me?

Please get in.

What are you planning to tell me?

You'll find out soon.

Let me be clear, even if Misa apologizes, I'll never forgive her.

Not after she betrayed me like that.

Is she really the traitor here?

Huh?

She's the one who tricked me with her constant lies.

As long as it serves to make you happy, the suffering of others means nothing.

Have you ever felt that way?

You'd have to be absolute scum to think that.

Then I think you might actually be on board.

-Huh? -My answer would be yes.

As long as the one I love is happy,

no amount of suffering on your part matters.

If someone killed the one I love,

I'd kill them without a second thought.

Hey.

Ms. Kanbe!

Are you okay?

Misa.

Please get in the car. Now!

Drive.

Misa? Where are you going?

What am I going to do?

Misa!

What...

in the hell do you think you're doing?

What are you doing?

If you won't answer, I'll change my question.

Director,

you've died before, haven't you?

TOGA BRIDGE CAR ACCIDENT RETURN TO 2015

You got into an accident back there in 2025.

In my first life,

I had every chance to do it.

I'll be back after first period.

Come on! That way!

If I had talked to you that time...

Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry.

Oh, sorry.

Sorry to keep you waiting!

Or that time...

Or that time...

-Thank you. -Thank you so much.

I could have done it any time. But I never did.

And then you died.

One... more... time...

If I could do it over...

one more time...

Why did you come to Toyama?

I wanted to lay you to rest where you felt safe.

Next to your father.

Are we done?

I'm sure your questions have been answered.

Please go back to Tokyo.

What are you saying?

Ms. Sumiyoshi will be saved if the operation is successful.

But...

what happens, happens, unless there's a substitute.

You would live in fear of your fate for the rest of your life.

So you tried to die with Tomoya?

You were going to do it, weren't you?

With Tomoya as a substitute for my death.

That would have set you free.

Please, enough is enough!

I don't want that.

If things stay like this, your second life will end up the same.

You can't beat them.

You're not the kind of person who can become a villain.

So I will.

Please stop with the hero act.

I didn't ask for this. I really didn't ask for this!

I always thought of you.

But...

I couldn't play a part in your life story.

I regretted it,

so I came back.

In your father's taxi.

I came back to see you.

Huh?

Are you okay?

Yes.

Well, I'm glad I picked you up.

It was fate.

Are you in a hurry?

Uh, no.

I know the best route, so please leave it to me.

Thank you so much.

Nah, no problem at all!

Sorry...

Did I die?

This taxi can take you anywhere.

Where do you want to go?

Heaven?

Or do you have any regrets?

I have... many regrets.

What kind?

I was slow to realize what was important...

and failed to protect it.

In that case, don't take the wrong path this time.

What?

Here, hold out your hands.

Huh?

Here.

Three o'clock snacks.

Driver, I met you back at the university.

Ms. Kanbe's...

Thanks for actually coming to visit Toyama.

Now it's my turn to show you the way.

Now, hold on tight.

Sorry!

My dream came true.

In my second life... I have no regrets.

You don't understand a thing.

I didn't ask for this.

Because...

in my second life...

I need you.

I don't want to be helped, I don't want to be protected,

I want to spend my life with you.

There has to be some way to make it work. I'm sure of it.

I won't let those two destroy me.

Fate's cruel and life's hard, but we can change it!

Let's believe that!

Because...

that's exactly what you taught me.

Remember when you were little,

and you put a sweet treat in your mouth, how easy it was to believe?

That we were happy.

I love you.

Let's live together.

So cold.

Where even is this?

Damn it.

Anybody!

Anybody here?

Answer me!

Anybody?

Wrinkly school bag!

We're the only ones in our class with hand-me-down school bags.

But that means our bags match. I'm so happy.

My father saved the money for my school bag,

but my mother spent it all.

I have one, a new school bag.

You do?

My mom and dad bought me a shiny new school bag,

but there was a poor kid in my class. I felt sorry for them, so we traded.

Wow, Reina, you're so nice.

That's my mom.

Wow, Reina, your mom is so pretty!

My mom is so kind.

Really? I'm jealous.

My dad works for a TV station in Tokyo.

But I don't miss him at all.

He calls me every day and sends me lots of presents.

Oh, that's nice.

Reina, that's so nice.

Misa.

Oh, Dad!

Let's get on home.

-It's already time for dinner. -Okay. Sorry.

Okay, Reina, see you tomorrow.

Is that your friend?

-Yeah! -I see.

What's for dinner?

It's Dad's specialty, buri-daikon!

Oh, yay!

Better do your homework before dinner!

Okay.

You're a good kid, Misa.

Your dad's a happy man!

Here!

Oh, it's a frog!

I used to come here a lot for walks with my dad.

Um...

It's a little hard to walk like this.

I'm holding you down.

So you don't fly off and do something stupid again.

You also met my grandmother, didn't you?

Without saying anything to me.

You're such a liar.

You said you had no more feelings for me...

That you'd end it.

That you won't see me anymore. Take all that back.

I'm sorry that I said such horrible things to you.

So, what are your true feelings for me?

Shouldn't you know that by now?

I want you to put it in words. I told you how I feel.

We're not college students anymore, come on.

What?

Oh, is that what it is?

It's because you know I'm actually 37 years old,

and you think I'm too old at 37?

Huh, is that what it is?

I...

love...

Hello?

I got your voicemail! You met up with my brother, right?

Yeah. I have a tight grip on him now.

There's no need to worry.

Is Reina with you?

Huh?

It's on Reina's Instagram.

Instagram?

It's been a while. #MemoriesWithMyBestFriend #Toyama

It's cold, isn't it?

But you'll just have to tough it out, okay?

Your grandchild has made my heart colder than a Toyama winter.

Where are we going?

Your grandchild is terrible.

I've been nothing but kind to her since she was a little girl,

but she bullies me.

She is a self-centered, lying coward

that tore my heart to shreds.

And she does it all with a happy smile.

That's not the kind of thing we can just forgive people for, don't you agree?

Did you find her?

No, she's not here.

We'll go this way.

Kikue!

Grandma!

-Grandma! -Kikue!

Grandma!

Kikue!

Kikue!

Grandma!

Grandma!

Kikue!

Grandma!

-Where are you, Grandma? -Kikue!

Grandma!

Please wait here.

Misa!

Ms. Kanbe? Ms. Kanbe!

Grandma!

Where are you, Grandma?

Grandma!

She's gone.

Misa! I finally found you!

Reina...

Where's my grandma?

What did you do to her?

Why are you doing this?

"Why are you doing this?"

What a stupid question.

Grandma has nothing to do with this!

When your dad died,

I was so happy.

I wanted to savor that same feeling one more time.

I approached you in the second grade

because you looked miserable.

I thought you were just like me.

But you weren't at all.

You were so blessed, and still,

you acted like you were all alone.

Like you were the most miserable person in the world.

I hated the way you always played the victim...

from the bottom of my heart.

Where's Grandma?

What part of you is all alone?!

Ms. Kanbe!

Ms. Kanbe!

Kikue! Are you okay?

-Kikue! -Kikue!

Over here!

Over there!

How do you think I felt, listening to all of your bitching and moaning?

Your mother left you for a man? Your father died? You have no friends?

Work is hard?

I was much lonelier and had it much harder than you!

But you were so wrapped up in your own problems,

you couldn't spare a single thought for my feelings!

If you hate me so much, why are you so obsessed with me?

Shut up!

I'm trying. I'm trying all the time.

I'm trying to be liked and loved.

But all I ever attract is human garbage

while two-faced bitches like you get all the love,

and everyone leaves me!

Ms. Kanbe!

Ms. Kanbe!

You lucked out.

After your kind father, you get a prince to protect you on demand.

That's the way it's always been for you.

Ms. Kanbe!

Ms. Kanbe!

Ms. Kanbe.

Welcome.

Dad? Did something happen with Mom?

Tomoya, Mom is conscious again.

Oh, really?

But...

But?

She fell from the bed and broke her nose.

What?

She wants to talk to you in private.

I'll go change the water in the vase.

Mom?

Tomo.

Thank God you're conscious. Is your nose okay?

That wife of yours...

Huh?

She hit me.

Huh?

Your wife hit me.

You mean Reina hit you?

Yeah.

Why would she...

That's absurd.

It's her fault.

Don't be fooled.

Your wife... it's all her fault.

That's right.

If she hadn't lied about being pregnant in the first place,

I never would have gotten married.

I wouldn't have lost Misa.

I wouldn't have almost died in Toyama.

I can't take this anymore.

I don't want to live like this anymore.

Tomo, poor boy.

Mom,

I don't want this anymore.

Help me!

It's okay.

We can get it all back.

What?

Insurance.

Insurance?

That woman should die.

I had no idea that you were also in Toyama.

I was worried when I heard you weren't at the hospital.

You said you were going to Toyama, right?

When I heard that, it made me miss my hometown enough to go visit.

I haven't told anyone about Mom.

Everyone thinks she fell from her bed and hurt herself.

Don't worry.

If we make a big deal out of it, it'll just embarrass our family.

Mom said something mean to you again anyway, right?

I'm on your side, Reina.

Listen, when things settle down, why don't we go on a trip?

What's with you all of a sudden?

We didn't even go on our honeymoon.

I put a lot of pressure on you, like the debt and taking care of my mom.

You're all I have now, Reina.

I consider you my precious family.

I want to start over.

I love you.

That's the first time you've said it like that.

I'll do my best.

Let's write off all the bad things that happened.

Thank you.

You sure you're okay here?

I can't face your parents right now...

I want one night alone to think things over.

There's nothing to think about.

I'll contact you soon.

Don't make me worry too much.

See you.

Yeah.

"Write off"?

Oh, they're back!

Hey!

Don't make me worry like that!

Ms. Kanbe!

I'm so glad that you're safe.

So, Ms. Esaka hasn't been found yet?

She's comatose and in critical condition.

What?

Are you already on the highway?

Yeah. I should be there in five minutes.

How's Mom doing?

Your mom? What are you talking about?

Huh?

Maybe she's taking a nice, long nap.

What's going on?

I thought it was strange.

I punched your beloved mommy in the face, but you didn't say a word.

And now you're saying, "I'm on Reina's side"?

The words "write off" also stuck with me...

There's no way to write off a 26 million yen debt, is there?

No, there was.

I remember now.

When we got married,

your mother forced me to take out an expensive life insurance policy.

Did your mother put you up to it?

You wanted to clear your debts, right?

You were going to take me on a trip and murder me for the insurance money.

Don't be ridiculous.

Did you search for "perfect crime" or "how to murder without getting caught"?

Nailed it, huh?!

Like you could ever pull off the perfect crime, you idiot!

You're the idiot!

You hit my mom! Damn it!

Sorry about that.

Oh, and let me apologize for this, too.

Last night, a friend of mine snuck into your garage.

Huh?

He gave the brakes on that car a little tweak for you.

Huh?!

This counts as self-defense, right?

As your surviving wife, I'll be ever so grateful for that fat death benefit.

Screw you!

Well, enjoy your drive!

You bitch! I'm going to kill you!

Let's eat something.

Here. Cups?

Yeah.

Hello?

Misa.

Tomoya?

Is Reina with you? Where are you?

I don't know. I don't know anymore.

Tomoya, did something happen?

I didn't mean to do that to you the other day...

But Misa... You're the one who dumped me.

Are you drunk?

I was wrong.

I don't know where it started,

but everything, I did everything wrong.

I know,

I've been a failure at everything since I was little,

and the only one who ever praised me was my mom.

But you liked me in spite of all that.

I want to start over.

If I could be born again and start my life over,

I'd like to start over with you.

I won't do any more stupid shit.

I won't get into debt or cheat on you.

And I'll be really, really nice to you, Misa.

Misa, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Next time, I'll do it... I promise...

I'll make you happy!
