I know you can speak!
Recycled, my foot! They're fakes!
From bankrupt retailers.
Why are you here?
Who said you could do business here?
Are you an idiot?
OK...
I understand.
Speak Japanese!
Idiot.
You piece of garbage.
You even smell different.
What do you want?
Please stop...
No! Not my son!
Don't mess with me.
Tonight, a freed victim of
the North Korean abduction will reunite
with her husband in Indonesia...
Excuse me...
What's wrong?
Sorry, but...
can you help?
What's wrong?
Oh, it's that thug.
—You're going? —I'll be right back.
You dirtied my shoe!
Hold it...
Calm down...
—Poor thing! —Get a grip, man.
We don't want to involve the police.
So I should let her off?
Yes, for this old man's sake.
For a fee, of course.
I'm sure she knows how it works.
Right?
I'm OK. I'm sorry to bother you.
Go get some ice from the tent.
Tell them it's for Mrs Fujiki.
For your mum's face.
Poor boy, can't he speak?
He spoke earlier.
Sorry. He was seven when we came to Japan.
You two are inseparable.
You want to eat with us?
I keep losing at pachinko lately.
No.
Mr Fujiki said he'd find you a job.
Well?
Would you rather work with me?
OK.
—OK, what? —Ask him.
See you tomorrow!
Yoko!
What's with your face?
—I got beaten up! —By whom?
It hurts!
I'll find him and beat him up!
I play solitaire on the computer.
I triple-click when I need to double-click.
We're the UnGirls.
Cut the chat and do the sketch.
Aika, that's mine!
It's just one clover.
Mum? Is Aika with you?
Aika? She's not here.
Was she coming over?
It's OK... sorry.
What's wrong?
She's not home yet.
She isn't? But it's already six o'clock.
Is Aika back?
You there... Miyuki?
Aika was with Tsumugi until the intersection.
The Y-intersection?
—What time? —Three.
Sorry to worry you. Maybe she's at Rina's.
I'll go and see.
Aika?
Oh, you're home early.
They're coming over at 6.30pm.
—Who? —The recycler and her son.
—Isn't he here? —Oh, that's right.
What's wrong?
Aika hasn't come home yet.
Miyuki just called.
Aika's not back?
Aika!
Part One - Crime
OK, Tsumugi.
Tsumugi, did Aika go home by the usual route?
And you went that way and got home?
You didn't see anyone? No strangers?
There was a car parked over there.
A car? Where?
Over there.
What colour was it?
It was white...
No, maybe it was blue.
—Which was it? —Don't!
Mr Fujiki.
Sorry.
Mr Fujiki shouldn't be here.
OK.
It's OK...
Listen, guys!
We'll search in groups.
Form groups with your neighbours
and find her!
Got it.
Aika!
Sorry.
Aika!
Aika...
Come on out!
Hold onto me. It's slippery.
Aika!
Watch out! It's slippery.
Aika!
Aika, let's go home!
We're 50m north of the intersection.
We found a school bag.
I repeat. A red school bag.
Over and out.
Aika
Tsumugi, go to the cash register.
OK.
That's 7,000 yen from you.
Here's your 200 yen change.
Thank you.
12 years later
Time for refreshments!
OK!
Everyone!
Have a break!
Good work.
Go ahead.
Tsumugi.
Here.
Let go.
Hiro! Get over here!
—Bye now. —See you tomorrow.
—Bye, guys. —See you.
Flat tire?
Just your luck.
I have my car, want a ride?
No.
All our classmates have left town
so let's be friends.
Hey!
Sorry.
Need a doctor?
I'm OK.
I'll take you home.
Sorry.
It was my fault.
When I was 13
I bought a purse from you at the temple.
All the kids wanted one so we came here.
This one.
Here's fine.
I don't want my parents to know I got a ride.
Have you seen her?
Aika, come back and play with us! —Class 2A
I was with her before she went missing.
If I'd stayed with her...
she might still be around today.
I'm sorry, Aika. —Yukawa Tsumugi
Thank you.
What about the flute?
I'm going to Matsumoto tomorrow.
I'll buy a new one.
I'll take you.
Meet me here at 7.00am.
I know it's a little early
but it's the only time I'm free.
Did you eat?
I'll eat at home.
My appendix is out so I'm done here.
Like I said, that son of yours is a killer.
Keep it down. I'm going.
You know, if I tell the cops
you and Takeshi will go to jail.
You know I could.
What are you suggesting?
Pay last month's hospital bill
and I won't talk.
I can't afford it!
Let's go.
Thank you.
Take care.
See you.
Is Tsumugi OK?
She went out early this morning.
That girl...
I don't know what she's thinking.
I'll take this one.
How much is it?
It's OK.
No, let me pay. How much is it?
No, I'll pay.
Let me.
How much?
16,200 yen, sales tax included.
16,000 and... 200.
Thank you.
It's still raining...
It should stop.
Or the festival will be cancelled.
No one's buying it.
Knockoff designer stuff...
Tell your mum to drop by some time.
Your mum takes in anything
that could still be used.
She's no ordinary waste picker.
I heard she was a refugee but...
I doubt it.
What?
You liked it when you were a kid.
She's a friend.
Horny kid.
Get going then.
You want to leave?
Go some place...
where no one knows you.
Before we came here
my mum and I drifted from place to place.
I was little so I don't remember much.
But it's the same everywhere.
It doesn't exist.
What doesn't exist?
You coming?
Tonight? To the festival?
I'll finish work by then...
so yes.
I'll see you then.
The search party
will divide into groups.
Hey!
Don't hang around talking, look for the kid!
Choose a group leader quickly and
give me your phone numbers.
Excuse me. The town leader is here.
Thank you all for coming.
The police are already searching
but we can help
since we know the area better.
Mr Fujiki.
What do you know?
I heard it's Mr Ishizuka's granddaughter.
She disappeared after parting ways with a friend.
Just like 12 years ago...
Sorry.
Mr Tanaka here is a beekeeper.
We met up at the city hall.
I'm Tanaka Zenjiro.
I'm Fujiki Goro.
You moved here from the city?
I heard about your work with bees.
Let's begin the search.
It's important that
no one goes off on their own.
—Please. —Hey!
Could it be those Africans in Shinden?
Or that weird used-car dealer on the highway.
He's had visits from the cops.
Don't go rushing to conclusions...
Listen to me!
Remember 12 years ago?
This is Aika's grandfather!
Seeing him reminded me of something.
Back when we were looking for Aika
and her bag was found by the river....
someone pulled me away from that spot.
You know the recycle dealers?
It's the son.
He lives in the housing project.
Let's go!
Hold on, guys!
—Stop! —Let's go. Excuse us.
You coming?
We don't know if it was him!
Hey! We know you're here!
—Open up! —I have a crowbar.
Open up! I know you're in there!
Move!
No one's here!
What's all this?
A pine tree with three branches
On Mount Kazusa
Counting three...
Found him?
No.
Check there.
He's not here.
You!
That's him!
Stop there!
Move!
Trash it!
—Some more! —Gross!
—Don't stop. —Keep throwing.
Keep going.
(Foreign language)
What did you say?
She makes no sense.
Carry on...
It's swollen.
Really?
I want a detox.
Welcome!
Excuse me... help.
—What? —Help me.
What's going on...
H-Help me... help!
Everyone, out!
Out!
Get out of here!
Stop it!
—He's in there. —Let's go!
Get out!
—Out! —Stop that!
What does he want?
Don't come in! Stay away from me!
Stay away... stay away!
Kerosene
What the hell?
Come out! You!
What's going on?
He doused himself with kerosene
and he's hiding in there.
Where is he?
Where is Takeshi?
Mr Fujiki!
Where is my son?
He's done nothing wrong! Believe me!
Then why did he run?
Innocent men don't run.
Give Aika back to me!
He should die to atone for what he did!
He didn't do anything.
He didn't...
If he did, I'm to blame.
It's my fault.
It's all my fault!
Aika...
Aika... Aika!
Ai...
Aika...
Watch it!
Respond! Be alert or people get hurt!
—Sorry. —These are products, not toys!
—Got it? —Yes.
Be alert! Go on, I'll do this.
—Answer me! —Got it.
And watch out for people.
Leo, I'll feed you when I'm done.
Soon, OK?
This place seemed desolate at first...
but now...
I feel drawn to it.
Part Two - Punishment
Asako.
—Where are you going? —Aika came!
She left saying she'd be at the intersection...
You know she's not there.
Can you hear her calling?
She's crying out, "Help me, Grandma."
OK. I'll come with you.
See you later.
You hungry?
I've got to go.
You're late. Want a lift?
Yeah.
Mum: They need flute players
for the festival this year.
Can you do it?
Hello.
Zenjiro.
You missed the council meeting.
I was cutting the grass at Kazuyoshi's house
and the canal. It was a snake haven.
His son in Nagano is coming
but I'm grateful to you.
It's no big deal.
Sorry, I'm late.
Young men shouldn't keep their elders waiting!
Sorry.
Zenjiro. Sit down.
—Shizu. —Yes?
—Feed Zenjiro. —OK.
I respect this man.
Not many men
would come home to care for a parent.
Here.
Thank you.
My daughter is a widow.
She wouldn't live in a town of old fossils!
Dad, please.
Everyone is leaving.
This will be a ghost town when we die.
I've seen you around.
That's right. At the farmer's market.
It's been a year since Masao died.
He was too stubborn to say it
but he was very grateful to you.
Right, Akiko?
Yes, he was.
Zenjiro.
How much do you make with your beekeeping?
It's just me doing it alone
so I make 900,000 yen a year or so.
An average of 70,000 yen per month.
Zenjiro, tell them the plan.
What plan?
I was thinking...
we can use beekeeping to revive the town.
With a shop selling honey products.
Like fancy cakes with honey for city folks.
No one would come to a remote place like this.
It's a pipe dream.
The land here is ideal for beekeeping.
The honey he gave us was so good.
That sounds like a good idea.
Right?
If we succeed, Hisako might even
decide to settle down here.
Zenjiro.
We'll think about it.
OK.
I'm home.
It's me.
Your mum asked me to fix your bath heater.
That's right. Sorry, I forgot.
I had to work late.
It's almost done.
You fixed it!
It'll dry soon.
Thank you.
Don't you have practice?
You'd better get ready.
You're Zenjiro of all trades.
You rewire, fix roofs and canals.
Everything!
Someone's got to look after the old folks.
Thank you for this.
He's performing in the festival.
He was asked to do it.
I can drive you to practice.
Oh, you don't have to.
The tub will take a while to dry.
I'll take you there in the meantime.
OK, Shinichi.
OK. You're not there yet.
I told you before...
—Kawaguchi! —Yes?
We're depending on you, OK?
Don't forget. And Shinichi.
—Remember this. OK? —Got it.
Are you OK?
I'm only here because no one else would do it.
You got pressured into it?
What do you think of my mum?
What do you mean?
She can be pretty clueless.
I don't know what you mean.
Forget it then.
Tsumugi.
Were you homesick?
It's not my choice to be here.
What then?
My mum nagged me to help out.
Boys, let's do it again.
—Do it like before. —Go on.
Let's start!
Zenjiro, do you have kids?
We couldn't have them.
You lost your wife to illness?
She had a weak constitution.
She died of leukaemia in her late thirties.
I went to college in Nagoya.
I got married there.
He died in a car accident.
How was life in the city?
It's the same everywhere.
The only place that's special
is always your hometown.
I hated my hometown but the memories...
The smell of the soil and manure.
After high school
I worked in a factory in Tokyo.
My sister and her husband
opened a factory in Chiba.
That's where I was introduced to my wife.
She was a baker's daughter.
I figured that I can always have bread
if I married her.
You're kidding.
Well...
Good night.
Wait...
Come to the festival with us.
Shinichi would love that.
Now for the sword performance!
Can you see?
You wanted to talk?
You're avoiding me.
I'm not.
I offered you a ride
but you went with that creep...
How do you know that?
Weren't you scared?
He killed Aika.
We don't know that.
Everyone thinks so.
He did it.
He killed Aika.
Her parents believe that.
He's dead now.
So we can relax.
What?
I did it.
I punctured your bicycle wheel.
You kept brushing me off...
I needed a chance.
You jerk.
People do things when they're desperate.
We all have two sides.
So did he.
Leo!
Stop barking.
We have to get back to the festival.
Did I interrupt something?
Her name's Leo?
Leo.
What a nice name.
I saw you at the restaurant fire...
You were there too?
Did you see the man who did it?
Yes, when he ran out the front...
You saw him?
Did he look like a murderer?
I don't know... he was on fire.
—Call the police! —I'll do it!
Now!
Out of the way.
Call now!
—Look out! —Are you OK?
Takeshi!
They found her! The missing girl!
Her abductor is in custody.
You mean the abductor isn't the recycle guy?
He set himself on fire.
See the flames?
Where is he?
An ambulance took him away.
He's probably dead.
Do you know him?
Did he kill Aika?
I don't know.
Tell me it was him!
Why are you well and alive
when Aika is dead?
You're all grown up now.
What do you do?
I work at a vegetable market in Tokyo.
In Tokyo!
Is life good there?
Every time I'm at the Y-intersection
I think to myself
"You have no right to be happy."
Every single time.
Report any suspicious behaviour
How's it going?
Surprised?
There's nothing back home.
Same people every day.
Nothing happens.
So I left.
Why are you at my workplace?
It's more fun working with friends.
Let's go somewhere. Like Harajuku?
Or is Shinjuku closer?
Wait.
—Shibuya's cool. —That's my bike!
Here we go. Come on.
Zenjiro.
Did you visit the city office to get funding?
Sorry?
You think you can bypass us?
I wanted to feel them out
so I went there but they were dismissive.
You sidestepped me and went directly to them!
You know what they told me?
That the bee farm is an interesting project.
It might be interesting
but any funding we get
should be used for more important things.
Like fixing our rockfall fences and
the traffic barriers damaged by the snow.
The bureaucrats ignore us
because we're old.
I thought you supported my plan?
You thought wrong.
We were just being polite.
—Good morning. —Good morning.
—Good morning... —Good morning...
Is it you?
You'd sell our upstream area to the Chinese?
They'd build an industrial waste dump there
and it'd ruin our hometown.
What waste dump?
Drop the act.
Your neighbours told me about it.
Mr Tanaka, got a minute?
13 years ago
a girl vanished at the Y-intersection.
She's still missing, as you know.
I'd just moved back here from Chiba then.
If I did something wrong, please tell me.
We got a tip-off.
You got a new car
straight after the girl went missing.
I just wanted bee farms
so the town would prosper.
Did a villager tell you that?
Which way? That way?
—That way. —Which way's more fun?
That way?
Darn it!
Leo!
Oh, it hurts!
Stupid dog!
Leo!
You stupid mutt!
You trained the dog to attack us, didn't you?
You'll pay for this.
Are you OK?
Your order.
You come to these places much?
Did you make friends in Tokyo?
No.
What a downer.
Why are you here?
Don't look so morose.
Is there anything that excites you?
No. I just wanted to get out.
You're so boring.
I've got one.
What?
When I'm working at the market
we get fruits and vegetables
coming in from all over Japan.
Potatoes from Hokkaido.
Pineapples from Okinawa.
Lotus roots from Tochigi.
I love reading their places of origin.
You're such an oddball!
Waiter! Another beer.
One beer! Coming right up.
You want one?
Excuse me. Make it two.
—Two. —Please.
Two beers!
You're amazing.
I mean it. Really amazing.
We're so different.
You could have gone to college
but you hung around our town.
My high school counsellor said I had no...
That I had no future!
No future!
You're slurring your words. You're drunk.
I'm dizzy.
I've never felt like this.
Tsumugi!
What promised land?
Hey... that'll bring bad luck.
Sorry, Hisako.
Your dad said he's not going to the hot spring.
You know how stubborn he is.
No problem.
Another thing...
stay away from Zenjiro.
Deal with it yourself! Zenjiro's garbage
Zenjiro!
I've been calling you...
Your back...
Are you injured?
I don't know where it is. Let me check.
Sorry.
Oops...
Where is it?
I heard the hot spring there is good
for bruises and injuries.
My parents were supposed to come with me...
About Leo...
She needs to go to the vet.
The council ordered me
to keep her locked up.
Because she bit someone.
You're being shunned by the villagers.
My mother told me.
Long ago, we had a dog named Shiro.
She was a vicious dog.
She barked a lot.
But she'd calm down when I got near her
and she'd lick my face.
We had her until I left home.
Shiro lived for 17 years.
We had a factory dog called Asahi
back when I worked in Tokyo.
That dog...
He was a savage watchdog.
But he was friendly with me.
So dogs love you.
"Why me?"
"Why am I the only one dying?"
That was what my wife said on her deathbed.
I told her I'd join her soon.
But she said, "Liar."
"You don't want to offend anyone."
"You say what people want to hear."
"You never mean what you say."
After we got married
we lived in a rented house.
Dogs weren't allowed.
I used to wonder...
why I was alive.
But eventually...
I stopped.
Zenjiro...
Tanaka Family Grave
Sex maniac!
"There's a river"
"that runs by our apartment"
"where canola flowers bloom along the bank."
"Father."
"Mother."
"I believe..."
"the both of you..."
"are well..."
"as you work in the fields."
The flowers in Chiba
aren't as pretty as those in your fields.
I miss those vast spaces with no one around.
All your son does is work
and he doesn't even smile.
Even so, life is good.
Tsumugi.
Come and play at my house.
No.
What if I give you this?
I don't want it.
Part Three - Humans
How did you find out?
I heard about it at work.
I see.
You've fallen for me, is that it?
Are you OK?
Thanks.
My parents wanted me
at a hospital nearer to home.
But I refused.
It might be better...
Tsumugi.
Do you remember...
being born?
I kind of remember.
That moment I was born...
man, it felt good.
"This place is so big."
"It's huge."
You know?
I felt the same way
when I left home and came to Tokyo.
That's why...
I really want to accomplish something here.
That's what I've been thinking
ever since I fell sick.
Tsumugi?
What's wrong?
Hiro.
Don't go away.
The forest will grow back.
Noriko.
This will be a forest here again.
With no humans around.
No man will stake their claim on this land.
It will be how it was centuries ago.
Back when God, birds and animals
lived in the forest.
It was a false alarm. Turn it off.
What is it?
Did something happen?
No.
Looks like a false alarm.
So Asako's gone to heaven.
I'm glad it's on a fair day like today.
Thank you.
The alarm was probably triggered by kids.
I'll look into it.
Thanks.
Nobuhiro.
Your mum...
She died not knowing what happened to Aika.
That can't be helped.
Mum was senile towards the end.
I shouldn't still be alive.
Right, Asako?
Dad.
Get in. It's hot.
Dear Tsumugi, I was asked
to pass this to you, so here it is.
It should be yours
since we found a drycleaner coupon
with your name on it in the purse.
Love, Mum.
We're here under the order of the authorities.
Please do not obstruct our work
or we'll have to call the police...
Sir?
Zenjiro.
Zenjiro, how many times do I have to tell you?
People think your mannequins are creepy.
And those saplings you planted.
You can't be planting them on farmland.
You're violating zoning regulations.
You can't go around doing that.
Fine!
Zenjiro...
What's up with you?
It's chaos here.
The police are carrying out another body.
That's the sixth one.
This is looking more and more like
a case of mass murder.
The victims were stabbed to death.
There's blood everywhere on the scene.
This is my parents' place.
You're family? I'll let you in.
A car's pulling in!
—Make way. —Move it.
You're family?
How's my father?
My mother is Shizu. Where are they?
Who are you?
Do you know the victims?
—Are you OK? —Do you know who did it?
Zenjiro.
You can't go on like this.
I won't go anywhere.
You're living in the past.
You have to move on.
Leo's not going anywhere either!
Are you OK, Mum?
A manhunt is underway.
According to the locals, there was conflict
between the suspect and his victims.
The suspect was ostracised in the village.
Why did he do this?
The suspect's dog
bit one of the victims previously
which led to a council order to cage the dog.
The suspect loved his dog
and resented having to do it.
This could have been the cause
of his murderous rampage.
It's speculated that this tragedy was triggered
by the suspect's dog biting one of the victims.
The dog remains caged at the suspect's home.
The victims have been identified.
Kurozuka Isaku, age 90.
His wife Shizu, 86.
You want to see me?
Tabe Ryoichi, 78.
His wife Akiko, 75.
Like I said, I found it
when I was going through Takeshi's apartment.
Why are you asking these questions now?
It won't bring that little girl
or Takeshi back.
If we don't confront the issue
we'll never be able to move on.
Can Takeshi come along?
Hey, you.
You got scared
and let that thug beat up your mum.
She thinks you're useless.
Right, Yoko?
Are you human or a ghost?
Always hanging in the background, all quiet.
Even your mum finds you creepy.
Let's go eat! Come on...
Are you leaving me?
Mum.
Are you leaving me?
Don't forget to go to Mr Fujiki's later.
Come on!
I lied to the police.
I was with Takeshi.
We ate dinner early
and visited Mr Fujiki.
So you were with your son all day?
So you were with your mother all day?
He did it?
I don't know.
I asked him once.
Why did you do such a thing?
You told me before we came to Japan
"It's the promised land."
If you were asked why you were born
what would you say?
If you were asked why you'd die
what would you say?
Even as a boy, he was timid.
He thought everybody wanted him dead.
Why...
My son...
Read this.
Tsumugi, it wasn't your fault.
It was in the purse.
I'm sure he wanted to give it to you.
Where would a kid like him belong?
Not here.
Thank you.
Don't you dare pity me!
My boy saved you...
and all the others.
I want a dog.
My family runs a bakery.
We can't have pets around for hygiene reasons.
That's why I've always wanted a dog.
I was offered a puppy once
but my parents said no.
That puppy fell sick and died later on.
I always thought it died
because I didn't take it home.
So, I've always hoped to have a dog
when I got married.
Zenjiro, do you like dogs?
More than...
anything in the world.
I found him!
One, two, three!
Go live. The suspect stabbed himself.
Call them.
Ready?
—Here he comes. —Get it.
There is...
no trust around here anymore.
Is that OK?
Back then...
I wanted him to burn and die.
We needed closure.
We needed someone to blame.
Anyone at all.
I was so relieved to see the fire.
We killed him!
We killed Takeshi.
But it didn't bring any closure.
I can't put it behind.
I can never forget Aika.
I have to live with it for the rest of my life.
Report any suspicious behaviour
But... I'm too old for this.
No, you're not.
You're not.
You wouldn't understand.
I don't want to.
I don't care if I don't.
I don't have to know...
who abducted Aika.
I don't have to know.
I'll...
take it with me.
I'll go on.
I will.
I'll go on.
Why are you crying?
You have no one to play with?
Bye!
Why are you here?
Were you left here?
Hey.
Come here.
You like me, huh?
You're a girl?
Hey.
You want to come with me?
Yes?
Come on.
OK. There.
Your name will be... Leo.
That's good. Great name, huh?
You like me?
Tsumugi.
It's me.
I'll be discharged tomorrow.
If I make it past five years
I'll have a 50% chance of survival.
I don't get the maths...
but I'll go for it.
That's good to hear.
Aika.
Let's go.
Tsumugi.
Tsumugi...
You should
create...
our own promised land.
For us.
The Promised Land
