All language subtitles for Hokuto EP3

Yes.
Understood.

If you please.

Number 17, you will now be transferred to the detention center.

Alright.

Okay, next one.

Open your mouth.

Wider.

Okay, turn around.

Okay, put your feet on the marks.

Bend forward.

Spread your buttcheeks with both hands.

Spread your buttcheeks!

Stop!

Number 395, go in!

- Number 395 enters.
- Louder!

Number 395 enters!

It seems Ikuta Tomochika was a typical scammer

who exploited people's weaknesses in order to make money.

Tricked by such a man...

It's no wonder that he was killed at last, don't you think?

Sensei, Hashizume Hokuto won't be sentenced to death, will he?

To be true, it will be hard.

But, at the time of the incident he had barely become 20.

Even in some juvenile court cases the death sentence has been inflicted.

The tentency to toughen the law won't stop
and the fact that he killed 2 people weights heavily.

On top of that,
he himself desires the death sentence.

If he makes such a statement in courtroom...

You are Maritani Asumi-san, right?

I've brought a few clothes and handed them in.

I found a super-fashionable parka and bought it for you,

but they said it was not permitted.

Seems there are a lot of confusing rules about the things that can be given to a prisoner.

I think it would suit you.

It's too bad.

I'm sorry.

My visit comes quite late.

I did it again.

When I heard of the incident,
I was like stunned.

But I'm alright again.
I'll pull myself together now.

I've met Takai-sensei.

He makes a very reliable impression.

It's lucky that you've got a good man, isn't it?

Hokuto-kun, he said you told him they should give you the death sentence.

If you say such things in court,

I won't forgive you!

Stretch your hand out.

Stretch it out!

Always remember this.

If you die, I will die too.

You absolutely cannot run any more risks.

That's why you must promise

never again to say things like your life was worthless.

This life is a gift you received from mother.

[March 2011]

Please, please!
I'm begging you.

Mother, let's go!
Mother!

Okay!

Dear, I'm begging you ardently.

I'm sorry.
I guess I just can't.

I'll be waiting here and you go by yourself.

What are you saying?
You've made it till here.

But since a while my heart is beating like mad.

You said you truly had confidence.

- Don't you have confidence anymore?
- I do have confidence.

I want to see it together with you.

- Come on, let's go!
- Wait.

- Let's go! Hurry up!
- Wait.

- Yes, yes, yes, yes.
- Yes, yes...

There it is!

- Found it, found it, found it!
- Where?

Over there.

- There it is!
- There it is!

I'm so glad.

I'm so glad!

Thank you.

Hurray!

One and a half year had passed since I started living with mother.

I had become a different person than I was before.

Every day, I felt what the word "Happiness" meant.

- Thanks for waiting.
- This is really delicious.

- Is that true?
- Yeah.

I envy you.
You can eat such delicious things every day.

Today is an exeption.
Usually it's negligently prepared.

Hey!

If it resembles the food today,

I think you're really doing a good job.

It's thanks to Hokuto-kun, right?

- Still, I'm a bit disappointed.
- About what?

I had secretly hoped you would go to ToDai.
(Tokyo Daigaku, Japan's most prestigious university)

You're right.
The teacher in charge of career advising said

he should go to a higher ranked university.

I also said so many times.

But he absolutely wanted to stay in the vicinity and wouldn't listen.

- Really, it's such a waste, isn't it?
- Now you're talking big.

- Truth is, she thought I would fail.
- I didn't think so.

- You did.
- I didn't.

Well, a mother is always worried about her child.

That's true.
In this 1 month, I aged by 5 years.

Then, shall I massage your shoulders?

Yes.
If you do that for me,

you might prevent getting punished.

- That feels good, doesn't it?
- I've trained him hard.

I'm always pushed around like this.
That's child abuse.

Hey!

- I'm back!
- She's here, she's here.

- Who?
- Good evening!

- Welcome back.
- Oh, Asumi-chan.

Long time no see, Tomioka-san.

Oh! As rumoured, he's a good-looking guy.

I've always told her about you.
This is Asumi-san, your older sister.

Pleased to meet you.

Congratulations on admittance to university and your birthday.

- This cake is properly decorated with 18 candles.
- Thanks for buying it.

But, you're great.
On my own birthday, I will give you belated flowers.

- He's indeed a son to be proud of.
- You see!

I'm thirsty.

I'm surprised how adult you've become.

- When have we met last time?
- About 3 years ago.

Has it been so long?
You've become pretty.

Tomioka-san, now you're flattering me, right?

No, it's no flattery.

- Then, maybe I should believe it.
- Use a glass.

- It's bad manners.
- Okay.

- You're still in Tokyo?
- Yes.

- At that nursing school?
- I'll graduate very soon.

From next month on, I'll be a real nurse.

Seems wonderful things are piling up, huh?

Wait with your congratulations until I've found employment, okay?

Alright.

You're always busy and never come for a little chit-chat.

It's been so long since I've seen your face.

Mother, you have Hokuto-kun now.

I thought I shouldn't disturb you
so I only talked to you over the phone.

And you have taken no notice of me at all.

What are you talking?

Asumi-chan, come on,
the light, the light, the light.

Okay, okay.

Come on, blow them out!

Congratulations!

- Can you do it, Tomioka-san?
- I'm alright.

Hokuto-kun, enjoy your university life!

Yes.

- Asumi-chan!
- Yes, yes.

Asumi-chan, you will have to work hard.

It's alright.
Yes, yes, get in, get in.

Today was just great!

- Tomioka-san...
- Good night.

- Take care, will you?
- Thanks for the invitation.

- You're welcome.
- Good night!

Yes, good night.

Oh, sorry.

- I'm so tired.
- You're too exited.

You're not the youngest anymore,
so shouldn't you go to bed now?

- Yes, let's do that.
- Okay, okay.

It's been a long day.

Here.

How does it taste, your first sake?

Terrible.

Before long, you will say it's delicious.

So you destroyed the Buddhist altar.

I've heard it all.
It was pretty daring.

This is mother's most precious item.

I also revolted vehemently,
but I never came up with that.

You see, I...

Look.
I had a lot of problems with my biological parents.

- Even after you came here?
- You mean if I cut myself?

I did, I did!
I thought I should test mother many times.

But she didn't react at all.

She's a wonderful person.

It's helpful for me that you are here now.

I do care about mother,

but my own life is more important after all.

In the end, foster parents are no blood relatives.

Thanks to you, I could cut the cord.

Even for you this time will come.

I have no intention to leave mother.

I see.

Mother, how's this one?

It's perfect.

- It's big, isn't it?
- It's huge!

No, more gentle.
As if you would fan air into it.

So... so, so, so.

Those days were the best time of my life.

- Then, I'm off.
- Have a nice day.

Have a nice day!

Every day I encountered something new

and absorbed it like a sponge absorbs water.

Everything had a fresh look

and in things I had considered dull till now

I learned to detect a shine.

In this world, there was a mountain of things that I didn't know yet.

The world was richer than I had imagined

and full of wonderful possibilities.

That's what I came to believe.

And it was all
because mother was always at my side

and watched over me.

Wait, wait.
Just a short break.

Are you alright?
It's still a short distance.

3 years ago, I could climb it easily.

Alright.
Shall I give you a piggy-back ride?

What do you think of me!

I have my pride too.

Here.

Okay.

Just a short distance yet.

- Okay, the last spurt.
- Yes! Yes!

- Give your best!
- Yes!

We made it, we made it.

That feels great, huh!

- Hokuto-kun, do you have a girlfriend?
- How should I all of a sudden?

With studies and my part-time job that's off the cards.

What a disappointment.

I thought you would soon bring her into our house and was looking forward to it.

I'm very sorry that I can't meet your expectations.

Someday you will get married and show me the face of my grandchild, right?

Yes, yes.

What is it?
Is something wrong?

- No.
- What is it?

Just now, I remembered a strange dream.

What kind of dream?

- No, it was really strange.
- Tell me!

Well, it was...

Don't put me on the rack.
What is it?

I dreamed that I attended your and Asumi-chan's wedding ceremony.

What's that?
That's absurd.

Of course! I knew myself
"Ah, this is a dream".

But still, the music played
and then the both of you entered.

You looked great in your tuxedo

and Asumi-chan's wedding dress was just wonderful.

Somehow, I started crying.

And then?
What happened after that?

- I woke up.
- What? That was all?

It's true.
That was all.

Each time a dream gets really good, it ends, don't you think?

That's a nice shirt, isn't it?

I guess Asumi-chan delivered it.

She really has a sense for fashion.
It looks good on you.

This morning, Tomioka-san paid me a visit too.

They are both worried about you.

Even now, you're not alone.

Today, I want to hear about the trigger of this incident.

About the circumstances of Kondo Ayako-san's death

and about Ikuta Tomochika's "Hado Water".

Tell me as detailed as possible.

Mother

complained she wasn't feeling well for the first time

in Spring last year.

[April 2015]

Thank you.

- But they're not yet relaxed.
- It's enough.

But isn't that stiffness painful?

I't can't be helped that I'm beginning to crumble.
I'll get 70 next year.

It's rare that you're feeling so low.

You always get mad when you're treated like an elderly woman.

- Look, Hokuto-kun.
- What is it?

I have decided that you will be my last child.

Well, this means I have you just for me in the future too.

Seems it can't be helped.
The one who has to care for you when you're old is me.

You don't have to worry about such a thing.

I will spend my whole life to repay you for what you've done for me.

I may become senile and need a lot of care.

No problem.

- I may even become incontinent.
- With pleasure.

Let's talk about something more enjoyable.

I would absolutely hate being under your care.

Why?
I would change your diapers.

Oh no!

Beautiful, isn't it?

If I had noticed anything at that time,

maybe it had not been to late yet.

Mother was a person who was capable of suffering.

I think she hid her pain for a long time.

When was her illness discovered?

Half a year later.

Until then,

I had noticed nothing at all.

[October 2015]

Liver cancer?

The patient complains only about pains in the shoulder and strong fatigue,

but at the time when these symptoms appear,

the liver tumor has already reached a considerable size and is difficult to treat.

Are you alright?

Yes.

Tentatively, we've told her that she'll be hospitalized for further examinations.

Shall we notify her of the result?

- Hello.
- Hello.

What was the conversation about?

- Hospital expenses and such.
- What about the examination?

They don't have the results yet.

That's why they can't discharge you for a while.

I see.

Hokuto-kun, will you be alright all alone?

- I'm a bit worried.
- Listen,

I'll become 20 very soon.
I'm no child anymore.

Right.

It's raining pretty heavily, huh?

Sorry, I have to pass.
Excuse me.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Maritani-san, a call from outside.
- Yes.

Excuse me.

Hello, you called for me?

Hello?

Hello.

Hokuto-kun?
What happened?

Sorry.
I'll call you back.

- What do you think would be best?
- We should tell her.

Most people think that patients with terminal cancer

should better be notified.

If they are not informed and their physical condition gets worse and worse,

they must inevitably get scared.

This last time of their life,

they have a right to use it for themselves.

Don't you think mother would break down?

If we support her, I'm sure she can handle it.
She's a strong person.

Alright.

Hokuto-kun, are you okay?

I'm more worried about you than about mother.

Because you love mother too much.

Mysterious, isn't it?

Well, from now on,

I guess I should relax and wait for the time

when they come and pick me up.

That's how life is, isn't it?

Mother, you must not give up.

Let's fight the cancer together.

It's alright.

I'm sure my husband is calling me.

He will say my job here is done
and it's time for me to come to him.

The both of you have become wonderful adults

and I have lived long enough.

Asumi-chan,

you,

you have a lot of patients, haven't you?

If you, as before,

occasionally let me see your face, it's enough.

Hokuto-kun,

in the drawer beside the Buddhist altar

are my bankbooks and my name stamp.

From now on, I entrust you

with all money matters.

You're alright with this, aren't you?

The other day,
when you said they didn't have the results yet,

that was a lie, wasn't it?

For being considerate of me I thank you.

But don't hide anything from me anymore.

[December 2015]

Hokuto-kun,

this is Osugi Satoko-chan,
my best friend in high school days.

She came from Hokkaido to visit me.

Thank you very much for coming from such a far place.

It seems he's really well-bred.

You know, all the time

I had to listen to praising stories about you.

She said you were brilliant,
nice, and good-looking.

This is our high school graduation album.
Satoko-chan has brought it along.

Aya-chan

was the most beautiful girl at our school.

The boys adored her.

Look, this here is Aya-chan.

Beautiful, wasn't she?
Exactly the same age as you are now.

Look, look, look,
this debutante is me.

That's true.

That brings back memories, right?

It was a good time, wasn't it?

There will come more good times in the future.

At 70 you're still young after all.

Cure it completely.
Why shouldn't you enjoy a long life!

Ah, that's bad.

If I don't hurry, I'll miss the airplane.

I'll visit you again, okay?

Don't put yourself to any bother.
It's a long distance.

That's no problem.

- I'm glad I met you after this long time.
- Me too.

I'm truly thankful.

This here,
I don't know if it works or not, but try it.

Alright.

- Please take good care of Aya-chan.
- I will.

- See you.
- Yeah. Take care.

- What is this?
- Some kind of water.

An acqaintance of Satoko-chan heard

that people allegedly were cured of cancer by drinking this.

[Hado Water]
Beautiful, isn't it?

Delicious.

It's really delicious.

It's the first time I've tasted a water that's so good to drink.

Let me see that.

I wonder how much it costs.

I will find out for you.

Since then, mother's condition

was sometimes better and sometimes worse.

There were days when she was in a terrible pain,

and some days she was incredibly lively.

But as expected, little by little,

her strength declined and she lost her appetite.

But nevertheless, she wanted that Hado Water.

In order to suppress the side-effects of the anti-cancer drugs

she had to drink a lot of water.

All that water...

You didn't tell her how much it cost, right?

Didn't you think it was strange?

- If you think about it...
- It couldn't be helped, could it!

Mother

actually didn't want to give up.

Hado Water

was the only

remaining hope.

It couldn't be helped.

[February 2016]

Is mother crying?

It's a natural phenomenon.

It often happens with this illness.
It dehydrates the body a lot.

I noticed this water last time already.
What is it?

Mother's friend told her it was good for her body.

Since it's not so expensive, I thought it was okay.

I see.

I have to go.

I think it's about time to get prepared.

Are you alright?

If anything happens, call me immediately, okay?

Bye.

Did she come?

What?
Asumi-chan has been here till only a moment ago.

You should have waked me up.

Well, she'll come again soon.
How do you feel?

Water...

- Are you properly attending college?
- It's Spring break already.

That's right.

In only 1 month is your birthday.

I just remembered, 2 years ago...

Asumi-chan and Tomioka-san came, right?

That straight-laced Tomioka-san got totally drunk.

It was so much fun.

Let's repeat it this year!
We'll ask the doctor for permission to do it here.

Having those 2 people here will make quite a turmoil.

Thanks to Hado Water I'm in a good condition
and might really be able to do it.

You'll become 20, right?

Then I can drink alcohol too.

It was in the blink of an eye, wasn't it?

You have had hard times,
but I'm sure you'll become a wonderful man.

You will become happier than other people.

Your mother gives you a guarantee for that.

I'm a free journalist.
Motohashi is my name.

Is Hashizume Hokuto-san at home?

That's me.

It may be rude, but could it be a relative of yours is a cancer patient?

My mother.

Then, can you take a look at this?

This is a list of customers who purchased Hado Water from the Ikuta Hado Research Institute.

You ordered in total 60 bottles of the "Gold" and "Platinum" label

and paid 2.592 million yen to the Ikuta Hado Research Institute.

That's correct, isn't it?

Did your mother get a little better by drinking Hado Water?

I feel sorry for you, but you've been taken in by a swindle.

The hospital that Ikuta Tomochika inherited from his parents went bankrupt 5 years ago.

The cause was mismanagement.

This left him with a debt of 700 million yen

which he repayed in just 4 years after he started selling Hado Water.

We've asked a specialized institute to analyze Hado Water.

The claim that this water contained any effective ingredients is pure hocus-pocus.

I would like to collect the details and write an article about your case.

Please leave.

- I can understand that you don't want to admit it...
- Go away!

Hashizume-san, I don't want to say anything wrong,

but in order to stop your mother drinking that water

it would be better to speak the facts clearly.

Ikuta Tomochika is a scammer who makes a lot of money by cheating cancer patients.

It's not only you,

a lot of people have been damaged.
Something must be done!

Hashizume-san, let's properly talk about it!

Water...

Water...

Water...

Here.

Delicious...

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Hokuto-kun, one moment!

The young man called "H" in this article,
that's you, right?

This young man who for the sake of his mother

paid more than 5 million yen for Hado Water,

that's you, right?

It was me who brought her this fraudulent water.

Forgive me.

How could you!

Why didn't you consult with me?

Even if we're not blood-related, we're family.

Has mother read it too, this article?

Mother?

Mother...
Mother! Mother!

- Mother, are you okay?
- Out of the way!

Mother, the nurse will be here immediately, okay?

The last time of mother's life,

it ended in a mess.

Even though it's such a precious, precious time.

Did you talk with your mother after that?

Still...

"Still"?
What do you mean?

Mother regained her consciousness shortly before she died

and made her will clear to me.

Her will?

Mother, you have fought long enough.

It's alright if you take a good rest now.

For all you've done

we're truly grateful.

This is the end, Hokuto-kun.
Bid her properly farewell.

Mother,

do you want revenge?

Ikuta Tomochika of Hado Water,

do you want revenge on him?

Understood.

I will do it.

Ikuta Tomochika,

I will

kill him.
