Original subtitles

Hiromi, suspected in a jewelry heist,

is taken to a beach apartment by Kawamoto.

However, Kawamoto's intentions were far from fatherly,

they concealed an adult's sinister scheme.

Tatsuro.

-Pops! -Tatsuro.

What are you doing here?

Didn't you mention this beach condo to me?

I've been drawn here each time I travel.

I adore gazing at the ocean from this window, from dawn to dusk.

I'm captivated by the waves' rhythm and the tranquil crash

upon the shore.

Pops, now it's my turn to ask questions.

Why'd you bring my sister here?

What's your plan with her!?

You're not gonna kill her, are you?

Don't be ridiculous. I'd never do such a thing.

Then you should let her go.

Are you gonna kill her or let her go? Huh?

Decide, Pops!

I see, you feared the police might apprehend Sis

and uncover your relationship.

That's why you came here, isn't it?

Dad, even if they arrest me, I won't tell them about you.

So you don't have to worry.

Pops, despite being a grown man and a father,

you only think about yourself!

When will you start considering your daughter's joy!?

Dad, please acknowledge me as my dad.

All I ask is for you to recognize me as your daughter.

That's all I need to feel satisfied.

We shouldn't dwell on past mistakes.

Let's resolve matters here and now.

Don't ignore the truth staring you in the face!

-Ozawa. -Yes?

You're not my daughter.

How can you even make such a claim?

Sis, it's no use talking to him, so let's go.

I'll take you wherever you want.

Tatsuro, I want to turn myself in.

Turn yourself in?

You have a way of putting a damper on things.

Yumi'd be gearing up to journey

to the ends of the shimmering horizon.

Well, as you wish. I'll escort you to the police.

Now just a moment, Tatsuro!

Pops, don't interfere!

I don't want to end up resenting you.

Mom!

Tatsuro, so you were here too.

-Just as I expected. -Mihoko, what brings you here?

This may be your secret hideout,

but your secrets aren't hidden from me.

You and Tatsuro have plans to help Hiromi flee, right?

You think I'd stand by and let you do that!? Come in!

-Mom, what's this all about? -What's your plan?

What else could it be? I'll show you!

What are you doing? Stop!

Mihoko, stop this recklessness!

This girl tore my family apart. That alone is unforgivable,

but she also marred my face!

Do you expect me to do nothing!?

Please, stop!

That's enough, Mom!

She's my sister and Pop's daughter!

Pops, now's the time. Tell Mom the truth.

-Stop talking nonsense! -What nonsense!?

Why not tell her that Hiromi Ozawa is your daughter!?

-Dear, what's he talking about? -It's utter nonsense.

Pops, what are you afraid of?

Leave behind this world of deceit!

Be quiet.

What's the value of status and wealth?

My sister and I will live with you even if you

lose it all by telling the truth!

Or is that not enough for you? Pops, is it not enough!?

Tatsuro, when you're young,

the world seems full of possibilities,

but as you age, can you easily let go

of what you have for new aspirations?

That's just plain dirty!

Tatsuro, don't get smart.

Your father denies Ozawa as his daughter.

Isn't that enough?

Mom, how can you be okay with this!?

I trust your father.

-We're through here, right dear? -Yes.

We have a dinner event with the Kitan Group today.

As the group leader, I expect you to act appropriately.

I understand.

Anyway, what are you going to do with the girl?

Let's keep her in here for the time being.

That should also bring you some comfort, no?

Tatsuro, we're going.

No way!

I'm staying here with my sister.

You guys can piss off to wherever.

Is that right? Then, we'll do that.

Take good care of our boy.

Dad, this is just like how you abandoned Mom 18 years ago.

You bastard!

Tatsuro!

If Yumi and I were teamed up,

handling those guys would be easy.

But with my sister, we wouldn't stand a chance.

I'm sorry.

Honestly,

Yumi's more capable than you.

Isn't there any way you can just transform into Yumi?

Of course, not.

Besides, I made a promise to Mr. Tsutsumi

that I'd never become Yumi again.

Well, if you promised, then fair enough.

But at this rate…

It's okay. I'll ask you not to do anything.

Listen, like seriously…

I only said that because I'm worried about you.

Mr. Kawamoto!

Where is Ozawa?

I left her in Roppongi after she said

she wanted to surrender.

You should get in touch with the police.

Ozawa still hasn't surrendered.

You must know her whereabouts.

There's no way I'd know. Now, excuse me.

Mr. Kawamoto, where is Ozawa? Please tell me.

-You just won't let up. -Mr. Kawamoto!

-Knock it off! -Mr. Kawamoto.

Ozawa's going through a tough time.

She's hanging between survival and demise!

As her father, have you considered

your daughter's well-being!?

Enough already, you're becoming a real nuisance.

-Mr. Kawamoto! -Who does this man think he is!?

Someone call the police!

Mr. Kawamoto, please, tell me where is Ozawa!

Mr. Kawamoto, where is she!?

-That's enough! -Mr. Kawamoto!

-Knock it off! -Please tell me, Mr. Kawamoto!

Mr. Tsutsumi, what in the world

is your interest in Hiromi Ozawa?

I want to save her.

I want 17-year-old Ozawa

to experience the joys of being 17.

I want her to feel the struggles of a teenager.

I want her to feel the anger, the hatred,

and the jealousy of someone her age.

Mr. Kawamoto, if you're her father, please listen to me.

I want to restore Ozawa's entire spirit

to that of a 17-year-old girl.

I want to give back to her

all the emotions of a teenage girl, both the good and bad.

Mr. Kawamoto, I implore you.

Mr. Kawamoto.

Mr. Kawamoto.

Mr. Tsutsumi.

Will you tell me where is Ozawa?

The truth is, Hiromi…

Dear, the police are here!

Watch out!

Tsutsumi, come on!

Mr. Kawamoto!

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 MIRROR OF JANUS

THE DEMON GIRL SHOUTS VICTORY

PRODUCED BY DAIEI TELEVISION CO., LTD. FUJI TELEVISION

Why did you come here?

You seriously disgust me.

-You're just plain dumb. -Plain dumb?

I wasn't planning to help you,

but looking at you urged me to step in.

I don't need your help, help Ozawa instead.

I'm not trying to hear that from you.

Either I die or Yumi dies.

Ryoko, life starts by recognizing

that we won't always like everyone around us.

Tsutsumi, spare me the preachy crap for now.

I got a favor to ask you.

I need you to be there when I take on Yumi, one-on-one.

-Ryoko… -Counting on you.

What did you tell those hired hands to do?

Mihoko, I want you to tell me.

I said that as long as they keep her away from the cops,

they can do whatever they please with her.

What?

She's not your daughter, right?

What happens to some stranger's kid isn't your concern.

You…

I wonder how she's holding up.

It's quiz time.

Miss, this is an important quiz that will decide your fate.

So pay attention.

You got three options.

One, take a swim with the fishes.

Two, get shipped off to some foreign land.

Three, get beat so bad, you'll forget who you are.

Go ahead and take your pick, sweetheart.

Go to hell. What kinda quiz is that?

Your own mother came up with it!

That old hag…

Tatsuro, this ain't your call to make,

so just sit tight and watch!

Come on, sweetie, I need an answer.

You wanna take a swim with the fishes!?

You wanna sleep with the fishes!?

You wanna sleep with the fishes!?

Two, you wanna get shipped off to some foreign land?

Shipped off to some foreign land?

Shipped off to some foreign land?

Three! You wanna get beat so bad,

you'll forget who you are!?

Well? Do you want to take a memory-robbing beating!?

Do you want to take a memory-robbing beating!?

Mr. Tsutsumi, I made a promise to you.

I'll never become Yumi Onuma again. I won't become her.

Never…

Sis!

I want an answer!

I can't have you dozing off again.

Yumi!

Tatsuro, I'll have you get familiar

with the sound of a limb snapping.

Rise and shine.

It's Yumi! Yumi's back!

Tatsuro, I'm gonna hit the skies

on the horizon. That cool with you?

Yumi, I'm handing over the reins to you. Take us wherever.

Yumi, it feels like ages since we caught up.

It's nice, really nice.

Tatsuro, you good?

Your voice is off from your usual.

Sounds like there's some sadness in there.

No, that's not the case at all.

That's good, then.

You used to be all over me,

but today it's like there's a distance.

That's because, Yumi, you're my…

Yumi, it's been ages since I've seen those city lights.

I'm really craving Japan right now.

Now that you mention it, you're right. We are the city.

Maybe some neon action will perk you up.

Tatsuro, let's charge into Tokyo Bay just like this!

Yumi.

Kyoko.

Mr. Tsutsumi.

She came here about an hour ago.

I see.

Let's let them dance to their heart's content.

Once they've had their fill,

I'll talk Yumi into turning herself in.

Mr. Tsutsumi, take a look around you.

They're really reckless.

Those two jumped into the detective's trap spot.

Yumi, come turn yourself in.

Tsutsumi!

Yumi, please, turn yourself in for Hiromi's sake.

You backstabbing bastard!

Tatsuro, we said we'd never bow down to others' demands!

I won't chain myself for anyone.

I won't be a martyr!

Hiromi Ozawa, aka Yumi Onuma, you're completely surrounded.

-Surrender peacefully! -Shut your face!

If I follow some cop's orders, my soul will wither away.

I'd rather kick the bucket than get cuffed!

Yumi!

How many of you pigs does it take

to take down just one of me!?

You dirty sons of bitches!

Hold it!

-Yumi! -Yumi!

Hold it!

You think I'm gonna let you snag me?

You think I'm cool with cuffs?

Stop resisting!

Dammit, Yumi ain't about to get caught by those pigs.

I'll make sure she gets away.

Boss, don't! You're gonna get nabbed too if you go!

Yumi, that's enough!

Back off, Teach! Anyone who tries to cage me is my enemy!

Yumi, come with me and turn yourself in.

You jackass, you think I'm gonna do that!?

Yumi, that's enough! You have to stop!

Yumi!

Teach, just stay the hell away from me!

Yumi!

Yumi.

Teach, goddamnit, get the hell off me!

I'm not gonna let go!

Teach…

Yumi…

Hey!

We did it! We arrested Hiromi Ozawa!

-Dissociative fugue? -Yes, that's right.

Ozawa was raised under strict discipline

and perpetual study.

She lived a life devoid of freedom, unable to socialize.

This oppressive environment took a toll on her psyche,

pushing her toward the brink of mental disorder.

To reclaim a semblance of liberty,

she had to conjure up Yumi Onuma, a fantasy persona.

Mr. Shindo, you must grasp

the depth of Ozawa's mental struggle.

Mr. Tsutsumi, I've been in criminal justice for a long time.

I've dealt with many delinquents to spot a rotten apple.

I'll make my own judgment

on Ozawa's character after I interrogate her.

I'll leave it in your hands.

CRIMINAL DIVISION

Begone, evil spirit…

Hiromi Ozawa was arrested.

Hey, Tetsuya, are you listening!?

Yeah, I heard.

I heard about Ozawa on the news.

I see, that's good.

Not like it has anything to do with you anyway.

Say, Tetsuya,

I've been swamped lately, apologies for that,

aren't the university exam results coming soon?

The announcements were yesterday.

Yesterday? Really? And, how'd it go?

Naturally, I got accepted into Tokyo University.

Wait, you passed!?

You sneaky one!

Why didn't you tell me sooner? You rascal!

Please, stop. It was pretty obvious that I'd get accepted.

There's no need for all the excitement.

Well, I guess you have a point there.

Your dad's just proud of you, you know.

As a Tokyo University student-to-be,

I've decided on something.

Sounds good. Planning on getting a driver's license?

That's totally fine with me.

I intend to formally propose to Ozawa.

Excuse me!?

Are you out of your mind!?

She's a criminal suspect in a serious crime!

With Tokyo University awaiting you, do you think that's wise!?

I won't let it slide!

Is that clear!?

Tetsuya!

-Mr. Tsutsumi! -Mr. Tsutsumi!

Are you all here because of your worries about Ozawa?

Mr. Tsutsumi, we were so worried about Hiromi,

that we couldn't sit still.

Mr. Tsutsumi, do you know if Ozawa

will be sent to an institution or a juvenile prison?

That's up to the family court judge to decide.

But I'm doing everything I can to prevent that outcome.

Mr. Tsutsumi, how is Hiromi doing?

I'm worried the police questioning might worsen her mood.

She might lose hope altogether.

Don't be so negative.

But will Ozawa be okay?

She's alone with adult strangers.

Plus, she's facing intimidating cops.

Even I, as a guy, find it daunting.

Ozawa's personality does pose challenges,

but running away isn't an option.

I hope Ozawa can express herself freely

to undergo a positive transformation.

Mr. Tsutsumi, we want to help Hiromi,

but we don't know what to do.

Mr. Tsutsumi, can you tell us how we can help Hiromi?

It's comforting to hear your sentiments.

I feel your friendship could be

Ozawa's greatest support right now.

But at this moment, no one can help Ozawa.

No way! That's so cruel, Mr. Tsutsumi!

Unless she's motivated

to help herself, nobody can help her.

Still, there's one thing we can do.

That's to keep a vigilant eye on Ozawa at all times.

We must reignite Ozawa's will to live.

And we mustn't lose hope but patiently await

the healing of Ozawa's mental turmoil.

So the best encouragement we can give her is not to despair.

That's my perspective.

And I'm certain there will come a time

in your life when you'll feel

so full of despair that death seems like the only answer.

But when that moment arrives,

never believe you're alone in this world.

Know that there's always someone watching out for you.

I urge you to see the gaze of those individuals

not as a reason to surrender, but as a driving force

to persist in the journey of life.

I ask that you please wait for Ozawa.

-Mr. Tsutsumi… -Mr. Tsutsumi…

Out.

I'm Hiromi Ozawa. Sorry for the trouble I've caused.

You want me to buy into this whole memory blackout BS!?

It's the truth. I really can't remember anything.

I want to know exactly what I was doing, where and when.

Inspector, please tell me.

You're something else, you know that?

I've dealt with my fair share

of troublemakers delinquent girls,

but you take the cake.

It's hard to fathom you're the same Yumi Onuma

who tangled with the detectives during our stakeout.

I'm sorry.

Please apologize to the detectives who were injured.

You don't remember injuring them!?

Enough of these games!

That's Yumi Onuma, take a good look!

Don't pretend you've forgotten your actions in the city!

Stay right here! Focus!

Don't act like you've got amnesia.

Face up to the violence you've unleashed as Yumi Onuma.

Look!

Remember those apartment stairs?

You shoved Mr. Kawamoto down, causing serious harm.

I really did that to Mr. Kawamoto?

That's right!

You attempted to end his life by pushing him down those stairs.

Three weeks later, on February 19th, around 10:15 PM,

you were spotted near there with Yajuu Clan's head Ryoko Azuma,

to orchestrate the raid on Kitan, Mr. Kawamoto's jewelry store!

Isn't that right!?

Did I really do those things?

Then, a week later,

you lured Mr. Kawamoto

to an airport hotel under the guise of a trip abroad.

While he was there, you and the other Yajuu Clan members

carried out the raid on Kitan.

No mistake, right?

I…

Ozawa.

What's your issue with Mr. Kawamoto?

Why this vendetta against him?

Vendetta!? I've nothing against Mr. Kawamoto!

Don't you lie to me!

You've got every reason to despise the man

who caused your mother's death and ditched you.

It's only natural to harbor resentment and crave revenge.

Isn't Mr. Kawamoto the father who abandoned you!?

No, that's not true! Mr. Kawamoto and I are just strangers!

Why do you protect the father who walked away from you!?

Kawamoto's the guy who deserted you!

He discarded you!

He left your mother like she was nothing!

Ozawa! Ozawa!

Your father was a vicious man who took your mother's life!

You must resent him and hate him!

Your father was a cruel, heartless man

who abandoned you!

Hate him!

Hate him to death!

He's the guy who deserted you!

Ozawa, what is it!?

What's the matter with you!?

Mr. Tsutsumi,

Yumi's about to take over my body.

I will be strong! I won't become Yumi!

Mr. Tsutsumi, please watch over me!

Stop!

It's Yumi! She got out!

Inspector, I'm sorry, but Hiromi Ozawa has escaped!

What?

Yumi, I'll help you out, hop in.

Ryoko, I appreciate it.

Yumi!

Teach.

Yumi, I won't let you escape. Go back to the station.

Teach, don't get in my way!

I'll kill anyone who tries to smother my freedom.

Yumi, I can't let you roam loose any longer.

I'd choose death over losing my liberty.

If you die, Ozawa goes down with you.

I don't want either of you to die.

Shut up!

All you care about is saving Hiromi, leaving me to bite it!

No, Yumi, I want both of you to survive and thrive.

Will you please try to unite your heart with Ozawa's?

Move it, get the hell outta my way!

Teach, I'll take Yumi!

I can't let you take her!

Why, you…

You piece of crap!

Damn. Dammit! Go to hell!

What the hell, Teach!? Get off me!

Dammit, put me down!

-Let me go! -Mr. Tsutsumi!

You bastard! Keep your hands off my freedom!

Old geezers like you need to drop dead!

You stupid bastards! You'll all be my victims!

Unbelievable. It's hard to imagine that this

is the same Ozawa we met before.

Inspector, when you lay eyes on Yumi,

envision the anguish of children robbed of their freedom.

You stupid bastard! Let me go! Put me down!

You damn asshole!

Goddammit!

Don't lock me in! Let me out of here!

You pieces of crap!

Hiromi's pledge proved futile.

Yumi Onuma detached from Hiromi like sparks flying

and began acting independently.

The transitions between Hiromi

and Yumi became more frequent.

Authorities deemed it imperative

for Hiromi Ozawa, aka Yumi Onuma,

to undergo a thorough psychiatric assessment.

She was admitted to the psych ward of the police hospital.

PSYCHIATRY

What does this look like? Can you hear it?

Yes.

Now then, if you were to color it, what color would you use?

-Green. -I see.

Hatsue, that's enough.

That girl is done for.

Even if her illness is treated,

someone with a criminal record won't achieve greatness.

Hiromi having a bright future on the world stage

is but a pipe dream!

Hatsue, Hiromi doesn't have to shine on the world stage,

-in the spotlight. -What are you saying?

It's always been the dream of the Ozawa family for Hiromi

to shine on the world stage.

You imposed that dream on her.

If Hiromi's happy with a simple life, isn't that what counts?

Kazuki…

Hatsue!

I must agree with him.

When Hiromi returns, let her pursue her own path this time.

I will never allow that!

No, Hatsue!

No matter how much you object, this time I won't back down!

Enough!

If you're going to oppose me,

leave this house immediately!

Fine, I'll gladly leave!

From tomorrow, handle all the cooking and laundry yourself!

There's no need to leave! This is my home!

Kazuki…

Why, you…

Pops!

If you're here for Sis, why not own up to being her father?

I just came because I was a little worried.

Tsutsumi suggested

that if you admitted she's your daughter,

it'd greatly improve her mental state.

Pops!

Even if Mom finds out she's your secret child, who cares?

Why don't you realize that what me and my sister share

is more precious than what you stand to lose?

Don't underestimate us.

I'd have killed that bastard if he wasn't my blood!

Oh, it's you, Tatsuro. Come in.

I was hanging around the hospital.

Could you tell me how Sis is doing?

All I can say is she's undergoing evaluation by a specialist.

I believe Ozawa sincerely seeks to grasp her own psyche.

I hope she's doing well.

Same here.

Hello? That's right.

What did you say!?

Ozawa!?

That can't be!

Teach!

Teach, what's the matter with Sis!?

What happened!?

What happened to Hiromi,

who was admitted for psychiatric assessment?

The truth was, that Hiromi's personality

teetered on the edge of collapse.

Will Kunihiko be able to bring life back

to Yumi's mind?
