Original subtitles

Yes, the Sonozaki group has gotten together to look for you.

That means the enemy doesn't care about their position, right?

Just to clarify,

they are after Takano-san's scrapbook, which you have.

I believe so.

So, the truth of Oyashiro-sama's curse is written in it,

and it'll help solve Hinamizawa's serial mysterious deaths?

Yes.

And to revive religious belief in Oyashiro-sama,

they're planning a large bioterrorist attack.

I have a feeling that day will be soon.

I understand.

I'll see what I can do.

If it really is such a massive plan,

then there should be hints about it.

Please.

And one more thing.

We found out something strange about Takano-san.

Something strange...?

Ryugu-san, do you remember Cotton Drifting night?

That evening,

you and your friends talked to Tomitake-san and Takano-san.

Yes.

To tell the truth, according to the Gifu Prefecture Police,

the body was found more than 24 hours after death.

Then that means she was killed the night before the festival.

That means...

In short, it means she was dead already

on Cotton Drifting day.

So, that person you met on festival night could've been a zombie.

Just kidding.

It might just be the department's silly mistake.

Um, hello?

Yes, um...

Anyway, please stop their conspiracy.

I'll hide for a while.

I'll contact you again.

Oishi-san!

It's pretty dangerous.

The Sonozakis' Kasai Tatsuyoshi is looking for Ryugu Rena.

Kasai?!

He's Sonozaki Akane's elite assistant.

It's a rumor among the affiliates that Ryugu Rena

has something highly inconvenient for the Sonozakis.

Place undercover cops at Ryugu's house!

Actually, it seems she stole a lot of her family's money

and has hidden herself.

You idiot! Why didn't you tell me that earlier?

ATONEMENT CHAPTER FOUR:

EARTH INVASION

{OP}

{Episode}

Rena hid herself?

Plus, the police are looking for her.

Could it be they've found the corpses we hid?

To tell you the truth,

I had those bodies disposed of at a Sonozaki secret area.

This summer, there's apparently a plan to deforest the mountain forest where we hid the bodies.

So I went ahead and took care of it.

I see.

Then why are the police looking for Rena?

I don't know.

But I've told my Okinomiya family to secure Rena's safety

as soon as possible.

The main house can protect Rena from the police 120%.

Yeah. If you find Rena, you have to contact me.

Yeah, I got it.

Where did Rena go?

Could it be...?

Hey, I know they said she plays around here a lot.

But I don't think she'll be here at this time of day.

How do you know?

Hey, put your light more over there.

Okay.

Do you see anything?

I can't see.

Look closely.

Should we go farther in?

This is Atsushi. Reception is good.

Yes. The storehouse?

Okay, got it.

What happened?

Ryugu Rena seems to be at the storehouse.

It seems there was a witness.

Hey, hey. What'll we do?

The head said to bring her back no matter what it takes.

We just gotta chase her.

Oh, man.

I'm at the storehouse?

Could it be?

So that person you met festival night

could've been a zombie.

Just kidding.

As expected, Takano-san's theory is correct.

I won't give up.

Never. Never to them.

Rena!

Now it's Keiichi-kun, huh?

It's not safe here anymore, so I'm about to leave.

I don't want you to know where, so don't follow me.

Rena! What happened?

Your neck is covered in blood!

Oh, this?

It's nothing. I'm fine.

Rena...

This afternoon...

I went to the place where we hid the two bodies.

And then guess what?

The bodies were gone.

Somebody dug them up and took them.

No, that's...

The only ones who knew we hid them there

are the people who were there.

Um, that's...

It's Mi-chan.

No! That's not true.

Mi-chan betrayed me.

How could Mion betray you?

Why are you on Mi-chan's side?

It's true that the bodies aren't there because Mion dug them up, but...

So it was her!

She found out that there was a plan to deforest that area.

So Mion dug up the bodies in order to protect you.

That has to be a lie.

Then what should we have done?

Should we have kept them there?

How could we do that?

Who cares now.

I'll tell you the truth.

The real truth that I haven't told you.

The truth?

To tell the truth, the real identity of the parasite is an alien.

A...Aliens?

They were controlling the human body by living off of it.

But eventually, a clever human was born

who tried to uncover the situation behind the parasitism.

They got rid of that person and created a copy of Miyo-san

and a copy of me.

I'm gonna fight.

And I will never forgive Mi-chan.

That's enough, Rena!

Aliens don't matter, and I don't care about them!

Trust Mion.

Trust us!

Shut up.

We made a promise at this very place!

We are...

Shut up.

Rena!

Shut up!

Shut...

Rena?

Are you all right, Rena?

Can I ask you one thing?

Yeah.

Friends don't hide things from each other, right?

Of course.

They don't hide things.

Liar.

I'm not lying.

You're lying!

What's so funny?

Keiichi-kun, I know.

I know what you were doing before you moved here.

I had Oishi-san research everyone.

You were horrible before you moved here, weren't you?

Rena.

You were only after little girls, weren't you?

I can't believe such a dangerous person was so close.

No!

No! No!

It was just a coincidence!

What was a coincidence?

The serial child shooting case?

You only targeted children

and shot them with a model gun as they passed by, right?

The city was once in great shock.

The PTA was at each intersection,

and children had to walk home in groups, right?

That perverted nature of only targeting children...

What was fun about it?

But since it was fun, you kept it up for a long time, didn't you?

But despite that, your conscience couldn't bear it

and you turned yourself in with your parents.

Juvenile law is kind, isn't it?

The suspect's name isn't revealed to the victims,

and your father was very rich, so he settled it with lots of money.

You were released with just probation.

When it settled down, you moved, and all was taken care of!

It's so nice being rich.

No... That's not...

Why didn't you tell anyone about this?

Sorry.

Friends don't hide things from each other, right?

Right?

You are not my friend.

I wonder where Rena went.

Some people are irresponsibly saying she's been spirited away.

Keiichi-san, you don't seem be doing well today.

Mew.

Mion, Satoko, and Rika-chan...

There's something I want to tell you all.

I see.

I had no clue something like that had happened before you moved here.

I'm sorry for keeping it a secret from you all this time.

What made you want to tell that to us now?

Well...

I thought I wasn't being a good friend by hiding things from you.

Keiichi, what do you expect from us now that you've told us this?

I don't expect anything...

I just didn't want to keep secrets from friends...

Is it wrong to keep secrets from friends?

I think we all have stories we don't want to share

of misery, sadness, mistakes, or even memories we don't want to recall.

If you can't call someone a friend without divulging all that,

then I don't want friends.

But...

Keiichi.

Things you don't need to share

are different from things you must reveal.

That's right.

Plus, if you're a good person now,

why is there a need to feel ashamed?

Nothing would change the usual fun relationship we have.

That's what we call friends.

You guys...

I don't know anything about Satoshi.

Everyone's hiding it.

We weren't hiding it...

Friends don't hide things from each other, right?

Isn't that right?

That's why you're not my friends!

Don't be absent tomorrow.

Get better soon.

Believe in me.

K...Kei-chan?

What... What have I done?

Mion and Rena... I killed them.

What's wrong?

Kei-chan, I'm alive.

What's happening?

Oh, nothing much.

There's nothing to worry about.

Keiichi, do you remember?

That you killed Rena and Mion?

Yeah, not here, but in a different world.

Somehow I became suspicious of my friends

and killed them.

Even though my friends were apparently giving helpful words.

Why wasn't I able to listen to their words?

Why?

Let's forgive Keiichi.

You were able to realize your sin by yourself.

But no one can understand your sin,

nor can they forgive you of your sin.

But I can forgive you of your sin.

I can understand how amazing you are.

Rika-chan...

I understand that this is a miracle.

You now should know

what's happening to Ryugu Rena.

Yeah, she's just like me that one time.

She truly, truly wants to believe in her friends, but can't.

But Rena tried to save me by risking her life.

She tried to help me realize.

Until the very last moments of her life.

I will not give up.

I still have time!

Tragedy can be avoided!

Fate can be resisted!

And we can take hold of it!

The so-called future that lies ahead!

I learned how the will to battle can be so beautiful and divine

that it even has the power to overturn fate.

For this reason, I will fight with you.

No matter what, until we reach that future that lies ahead.

Gee, Chie-sensei is pretty persistent.

I know.

Kei-chan, what's the matter?

I'm sorry.

I'm really... sorry.

F...For what, Kei-chan?

H...Hey, mister, I don't know what you're talking about.

It's okay if you don't.

It's okay if you don't know, so I'm really sorry.

I will never again doubt you, nor any of my friends.

So please forgive me for that day.

Kei-chan.

RESTAURANT KICHI-ICHI

RESERVED FOR TODAY

Hey, hey, hey!

You call us to this nice restaurant and tell us to believe this gossip?

You're all not taking our job seriously, huh?

Basically, this is a personal matter between your daughter and Ryugu Rena,

so the police shouldn't intervene?

Correct.

We can't do that.

The police will take care of Ryugu Rena.

Tell us the reason the police want to take care of Ryugu Rena.

It's quite obvious.

It's because you're after her.

Why do you think we're after Ryugu Rena?

Why don't you ask yourself?

Kasai.

What's this?

Takano Miyo's scrapbooks.

Unfortunately, the ones she gave Ryugu Rena are not included.

Can we take a look at it?

Please.

Are these really Takano Miyo's notebooks?

Of course.

Do all of these mention these things?

Yes, they do.

Look at them until you're satisfied.

Oishi-san, it says that the "other" world and "this" world clashed,

and there was an inflow of spirits.

This is like a problematic occult novel.

Are you saying we should use this as evidence?

This one says it was caused by underground inhabitants.

I want to ask a couple things.

Why did Takano Miyo...

Our family knows nothing about the deaths of Takano Miyo and Tomitake Jiro.

Do you think you'll find the bodies if you search our house?

Then why are you after Ryugu Rena?

It was our mistake that it seemed like that was the case.

I will apologize for that.

As proof of our friendship, we will give you the scrapbooks.

I'm gonna leave the rest up to you, Kuma-chan.

Since it seems like I drank a lot, I'll get some fresh air.

I want you to promise two things.

I shall.

Firstly, if the Sonozaki family obtains other scrapbooks,

turn them in to the police.

Secondly, if you get a hold of Ryugu Rena,

you must also hand her over to the police.

Understood. I will abide by those terms.

However, in order to protect Ryugu Rena's rights,

we will assign a lawyer to her.

The lawyer should be present at all interrogations with her.

Okay.

I sincerely ask you not to waste our courtesy.
