Original subtitles

Amidst the chaos of the accident-ridden bus,

a dreadful transformation unfolded.

Hiromi Ozawa became Yumi Onuma.

Hiromi and Yumi were now inhabiting the same body,

yet with distinct appearances and minds.

Oh, it's Yumi!

Yumi, I'll get you out of here!

Hands off, Tatsuro!

My blood is blazing tonight.

Touch me, and you'll feel the burn!

Come here, you bitch!

Tatsuro, stay back and keep a lookout.

You got it!

Yumi, you want to start a war with the Yajuu Clan?

Shut your mouth!

I can't stand folks huddling up, playing tough.

You bastards are an eyesore!

You got a big mouth! Kill her!

I'm the executive of the group, Aoi Minamida!

Yumi, don't expect any mercy!

I yield, please spare me!

Have you ever spared anyone pleading for mercy,

even just once?

Yumi, you're gonna kill her!

This bitch deserves to die!

Tatsuro, did you hear something just now?

Huh!?

It's a baby!

Yumi, there's a baby in one of these lockers!

Yumi, over here!

Yumi, someone dumped a baby in here.

What a terrible thing to do!

It's open.

There's more stuff in here. Here.

There's milk and some cash.

The baby's drinking milk, not knowing it was abandoned.

Disgusting! Put it back!

No way! It's gonna die in there…

I can't stand babies, put it back.

You stupid bitch!

All of Yajuu Clan's big shots,

and Yumi still devoured you all!

Worthless bunch of losers!

But Boss, Yumi's really tough. She's untouchable.

We were supposed to be the ones who beat up

Hiromi Ozawa and that teacher Tsutsumi.

And yet, that bitch Yumi…

Boss, Hiromi Ozawa, and Yumi Onuma are the same person.

Could you please check her again?

We did, and found out they're not the same person!

Yumi Onuma and that petite doll Ozawa can't be the same!

Whether it's her or not, there's an undeniable

connection between them.

Boss, are you going to leave Yumi alone?

No way!

Our next one-to-one will settle

the matter once and for all!

-Yumi, what do we do with the baby? -Throw it away!

Easier said than done, you can't just throw a baby away.

Then, stay the hell away from me!

Fine. If you insist that much.

Don't cry, or a monster will get you.

If you wanna blame someone, blame the mother!

How can you say something so cruel?

Hold on, what's going on here?

Oh, just changing diapers.

Good day.

All right, girl, I'll have you get picked up by someone.

Hey, what are you doing?

Oh? I was thinking of doing a change of diapers.

Not a good place, I guess. I didn't see any signboards.

Hold it right there!

-Are you Tatsuya Kawamoto? -Who are you?

I'm Mizunuma, Roppongi South Precinct.

Your folks have reported you missing.

Can you come down to the precinct?

Now, just a minute!

Look, I didn't bail on a whim.

Well, it's like this with me and this girl.

I don't understand.

Are you dumb, or what? Can't you tell?

I had a baby with my girlfriend,

but my parents opposed marriage.

I can't stay at home.

You get it, right, Mr. Detective?

Is that really the situation?

Yeah, that's the load-down.

Yumi, let's go.

Yumi…

Don't get mad, I had to make a move.

I'm sorry. I'll make her stop crying.

Don't cry, okay?

Yumi hates the sound of babies crying.

How great would it be if Yumi and I

had a sweet baby like you?

Hey, Yumi smiled!

Look, Yumi smiled!

At that moment, Yumi

was struck by an indescribable, transparent sense of loss.

"It's time! I'll disappear!"

"I must hurry!"

Oh, Yumi!

Tatsuro, get rid of that baby by tomorrow!

Yumi raced urgently

to switch into another persona.

The ancient Roman god Janus was said to be able to see

both the inside and outside of things at the same time.

This story is a grand romance about a girl whose other heart

was peered into by Janus.

THE STORM-CALLING EVIL INCARNATE

PRODUCED BY DAIEI TELEVISION CO., LTD. FUJI TELEVISION

It's already 9:30 PM?

That's strange.

I took the bus to cram school at 3:00 PM.

After that…

Oh, right! The bus had an accident,

and many people were injured.

But then…

what did I do?

I can't recall anything.

Anything at all.

Hiromi, you're back, right?

Hiromi!

-Answer as soon as I call! -Yes, Grandma.

-I'm back home. -Very well.

9:30, exactly the same time as usual.

Yes, Grandma.

You belong to the Ozawa family.

You're distinguished from those nocturnal fools.

A high-class lady makes sacrifices, dear.

-Do you understand? -I do.

Then, goodnight.

Grandma, goodnight.

Did I actually attend cram school?

If I can't recall, it seems unlikely.

Yet, where was I and what did I do during that time?

Hiromi grappled with overwhelming fear.

Ugh, I can't even go back

to my workplace dormitory like this.

Won't somebody do something about this baby?

Don't cry! Don't cry, or I'll do too…

-Hiromi! Good morning! -Good morning!

The Student Body President is waiting for you!

-I'm going on ahead, bye! -Bye!

Ozaki, I bet you can't "feel up" that girl.

You got yourself a deal.

Hey, hold it!

Wait up, you jerk!

Fine, it was my bad!

-What is it? -Shall we beat him up?

You imprudent jerk, what were you trying to do!?

You clearly groped that girl! I ought to involve the police.

Dude, wait! I already apologized.

Apologizing to me is pointless.

If you're sorry, say it to Ozawa.

My bad, I'm sorry.

You call that an apology?

Fine, I'll go the whole nine yards.

-My sincerest apologies. -Say it won't happen again!

I won't do it again. Please forgive me.

Ozawa…

Hiromi! Hiromi!

Morning, Nakata.

You feeling any better? You seemed unwell for a while.

I'm all right now.

-Morning! -Good morning.

What's up with your hands?

You know that manicures aren't allowed.

Remove it right now!

Your skirt is 20 inches too long.

Sort it by tomorrow or face suspension.

Mr. Endo, it's not fair to single us out.

Yeah, others in our 2nd-year Class C group are doing worse.

Doing worse, in what way?

Yoshiko Nakata just delivered a baby

at a friend's house three days ago.

Nakata had a baby?

We're not BS-ing you, it's the truth.

Mr. Principal…

Mr. Tsutsumi, please go and verify

the facts with the student.

Very well, sir.

Nakata, can you come over for a minute?

Yes, sir.

Please, if I don't come back…

Have they confirmed the rumor about Yoshiko having a baby?

How much longer will you keep quiet?

Have you given birth, or is that not the case?

Nakata, is there truth to this?

-Which is it!? -Mr. Endo!

Can I have a moment alone with Nakata?

Seems like Nakata still isn't around.

Jun, please accompany me.

You fool, you shouldn't have taken that.

But it's just…

I'll tag along. You're hopeless on your own.

Thank you.

You think it's true that she has a baby?

This makes the third pregnancy at our school in a year.

The first two had abortions, following the protocols.

-But if she gives birth… -She'll have to quit the school.

Let's hold off on any decisions

till we hear from Mr. Tsutsumi.

Expelling a troubled student isn't our only option.

As educators, we bring more life experience to the table,

and we must consider our students

and their children's futures.

Neglecting this would add one more

unfortunate child to the list.

Nakata, where did you put the baby?

Is it healthy?

It's probably hungry and wants milk right now.

Maybe it's crying for a diaper change.

Nakata!

Mr. Tsutsumi…

Hey, lemme see the key.

Number 287, huh?

Found it. It's this one!

Hey, what are you doing?

-I feel strange. -Strange, how?

It's like I've been here before.

Dummy, coin locker rooms look the same everywhere!

But it's my first time here, and yet…

-You sure you're all right? -I wonder…

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

Wow! I've never seen anything like that!

You're something else, Hiromi.

I've done the same several times too.

You did!? Oh dear, that's just like a delinquent.

It's fun to play the rebel on occasion,

though you're not suited for it.

Here, Hiromi. Let's open it.

What did Nakata say was in there?

She didn't say. She just asked me to fetch it for her.

-Maybe it's her baby? -No way!

I'm just kidding!

Nakata wouldn't do something like that.

Gimme the key.

Huh? It was already opened.

It's empty.

What a farce! What's the deal? Let's just go.

Hey!

Ozawa, your timing is impeccable!

I've been trying to find you.

You wouldn't just leave a child, right?

Take care of this kid.

Whose child is this?

Just take care of it, okay?

Hey, you! Wait!

That was foolish, Hiromi!

What are you gonna do with this baby?

But…

What if this is Nakata's baby?

Was this Hiromi girl really a spitting image of Yukiko?

More than a spitting image, they're identical!

I initially mistook her for Yukiko.

She's definitely your child.

Is that really the case?

Shouldn't you at least tell Tatsuro the truth?

There's no way I could tell him.

If Tatsuro mentions this to his mother,

I'd be divorced in a heartbeat.

No one knows a thing about Yukiko or this girl.

If people found out I had an illegitimate child…

Your past actions are catching up.

Karma's getting back at you for what you did to Yukiko.

Honestly, I'm at a loss for words.

In my youth, I was a ruthless bastard,

only interested in toying with women.

Yukiko wandered the Roppongi streets,

cradling a newborn, desperately searching for you.

I fibbed, claiming ignorance about your location,

which was very difficult to do as a woman myself.

Just drop it, okay?

None of this would've happened if she didn't have a child.

Yukiko was a fool.

Kawamoto, don't you feel any remorse?

I'm just a bit of a human too. Between men and women…

Excuse me…

Hiromi…

Can I help you?

I'm looking for Tatsuro. Did he come here?

I haven't seen him yet. What's with that kid?

Tatsuro handed the baby to Hiromi and disappeared.

Tatsuro did what!?

I need to talk to him about this child.

We're trying to track down the mother.

Excuse us.

So what's it like seeing your daughter for the first time?

Don't make fun of me.

Tatsuro, have you seen Ozawa?

Oh, it's just you, Teach. The hell's going on?

I'm looking for Ozawa. Did you see her?

-Probably taking care of the baby. -Where's the baby?

Easy, Teach! You sure are strong despite your puny reputation.

Listen, I'm in a hurry, please tell me!

I couldn't deal with the baby,

so I passed it to Hiromi and took off.

You found a baby? Explain.

Yumi got into it with the Yajuu Clan last night.

Yumi Onuma and the Yajuu Clan?

Later, out of the blue, I found the baby in a coin locker.

What was the coin locker's number?

287, if I'm not mistaken…

That's the one! Please, help me find Ozawa.

-Wait a sec, Teach! What's with you!? -Just come with me!

So what now? Shouldn't we bring it to the police?

But…

-Let's do that! -I can't do that!

-Then what do we do!? -I mean…

There's no way you can keep it!

I know that.

Hiromi!

You're staying with me tonight.

I was supposed to hand you over to the police,

but I couldn't do it.

After all, I feel sorry for you.

You're just like me when I was a baby.

I was abandoned by my parents too.

Don't cry!

If Grandma gets wind of this, I'm in deep trouble!

Come on, no more tears!

Mr. Tsutsumi…

Ozawa, that child…

I'm so glad the baby's okay. Ozawa, thank you.

Mr. Tsutsumi…

This baby is Nakata's.

-It's Nakata's!? -Yes.

But this baby was…

-Tatsuro gave it to you, right? -Yes.

Then there's no doubt.

There, there. Are you hungry, perhaps?

Let's feed the baby milk, and swing by Nakata's.

All right.

Ozawa, come in.

Can you get me some milk, please?

Yes.

Mr. Tsutsumi?

Who's the woman in this photo?

My wife.

Your wife?

Did she pass away?

Here it is.

Mr. Tsutsumi, I'll do it.

Nakata will be expelled from school over this.

Unfortunately, that's the school policy.

That said, her academic failures

do not reflect on her abilities as a mother.

As long as she proves to be a loving mother,

-that's all I care about. -Right.

The baby is innocent in all this, right?

Yes.

Ozawa, are you crying?

No, I'm not.

I see.

NAKATA

You're really stubborn, huh? Just leave!

So you insist on not taking the baby?

It's not about taking it back or not.

That kid is nothing to us!

It's strange for you to come to our house!

Why not talk to the father about taking responsibility?

My daughter was deceived into having a child.

Nakata, what do you think?

You delivered this child, you are the mother, aren't you?

-Nakata! -We're through talking!

Please leave, now!

How heartless! I've never seen such cruelty.

Let's go.

What's this supposed to be?

Mr. Tsutsumi, with this,

I hope you'll take care of this matter for us.

What do you mean? Take a look.

This baby is your grandchild.

The baby's already born.

Hence, we want you to take care of it.

This isn't something to joke about.

Mr. Tsutsumi, my son insists it was just a casual fling.

Yet, you brought us the baby solely because of its birth.

First and foremost, is it truly our Kazuo's child?

Please let me see your son.

Kazuo?

Good day.

Are you Kazuo? The father of this child?

The label "father" doesn't sit well with me.

We were just fooling around at the beach.

I'm really sorry about the unexpected pregnancy.

What are you…

The mother shares responsibility.

Could you please ask her to take care of the child?

Mr. Tsutsumi, this is unbelievable.

What kind of awful people would reject such a cute child?

How terrible.

Let's bring both families together to discuss this.

Mr. Tsutsumi…

It's late, you should go home.

Can you show me proof that this child belongs to our son?

It could belong to anyone.

If you're so certain, how about a blood test?

What's your plan if it does confirm it's your son's?

-By all means, be my guest! -Wait a minute!

Nakata, what do you think?

I'd like to hear your thoughts.

If Kazuo agrees to marry me,

I'm prepared to raise the baby.

Hold on! You brought this baby into the world.

Can't a mother raise her own child?

She put the baby in a coin locker,

there's no way she can raise it.

-Isn't your son to blame for this!? -Hold on!

Nakata, while you did put the baby in a coin locker,

you didn't lock it up.

Because you were afraid the baby would suffocate.

You actually loved your baby.

You couldn't have just thrown it away. Isn't that right?

Regardless, I urge each of you to look at this child.

Despite the circumstances, the baby was born,

and I'm sure none of us wish for its unhappiness.

So, let's consider together

how we can contribute to their happiness.

-Who are you? -Me?

I'm the woman who first picked

this child from the coin locker.

Doesn't that alone give me the right to attend this meeting?

-Why did you come here? -Shut it!

You think your do-gooder ass can sort this mess out?

I should be the one to handle this kid.

Handle it how?

I'll kill it!

A child not blessed by anyone has no reason to live.

I'll return it to the coin locker.

Wait a minute!

Serves you right.

This isn't a dog or a cat,

you can't just ditch it after it was born!

This baby will carry your name

and be returned to the coin locker.

Hey, wait!

Yumi!

Yumi, you're not slipping away today!

We gotta settle our beef one-on-one!

If you try to run away, I'll slam this kid to the ground!

-How's that? -What!?

Enough of this! That poor child was dumped

in a coin locker right after birth.

Do you want to cause the baby even more suffering?

In a coin locker!?

-Guys, we're outta here! -Boss!

Give that kid back to Yumi!

Yumi, let's save our showdown for another time.

We're pulling out!

Boss, what kind of windfall are we talking about?

The kind only the north wind knows about.

Give my child back! Please give it back!

You stupid bitch!

The hell is the broad who put her kid in a coin locker saying!?

Stupid bitch!

Stupid bitch!

Yoshiko!

If you give the child back, I'll give you the money.

-Are you guys gonna raise it? -No…

We could put it in an orphanage.

You're just an old fart!

And I…

can't stand geezers like you!

Not so fast!

Planning to ditch the baby and make a run for it?

My bad. I'm sorry, okay?

You asshole!

You really expect me to buy into that apology?

You're scum, a filthy excuse for a man!

I despise you! I can't stand your sorry ass!

Yumi, that's enough!

-Shut it! -I'm begging you, please stop.

This bastard's just a maggot!

Please, give me back my child. I admit my mistake.

Yumi, please give it back.

The answer's no!

If you're that desperate, drop to your knees

and beg me for it.

-Drop to my knees? -How about it?

Wait, I'll get on my knees and do whatever you want.

Just please, give me back my baby!

No deal! This is between me and this teacher over here.

Mr. Tsutsumi…

Please, give the baby back.

I'm begging you.

Pathetic!

Why not grow a backbone and fight for it! Dumbass!

Spineless bastard!

Dumbass!

-Dumbass… -Yumi, that's enough!

I'm kinda fond of this guy, so please stop.

I'll leave it to you.

Teach, one day, I wanna see a side of you that fights back.

Nakata, starting today, you'll be a mother.

Yes, sir!

Wait, the two-hour tape is done.

I must've dozed off.

How did I get this wound?

Was I really asleep?

Did I lose myself again?

Hiromi, with no recollection

of falling asleep or losing herself,

was chilled to the core questioning

if the night-blooming Yumi was truly her.
