00:02:16 Doctor?
00:02:20 Mr. Takagi?
00:02:21 Mr. Hiroshi Takagi?
00:02:32 So, you don't remember?
00:02:38 I see.
00:02:40 Never thought you'd f orget this mug.
00:02:56 I...
00:02:59 I think everything's mixed up.
00:03:06 You had an accident.
00:03:09 You were out driving.
00:03:12 A truck crashed into yours.
00:03:18 I had you taken to
00:03:28 We were the ones who ruined it.
00:03:32 After all this time.
00:03:37 He said himself that he'd
00:03:41 I wonder why.
00:03:45 Ever since he was young he told us
00:03:50 But somewhere along the way
00:03:55 He's f orgotten all that now.
00:04:26 You okay?
00:06:06 "Doctors and Medicine"
00:06:17 "Dissection"
00:06:39 Come and see!
00:06:49 You remember about this?
00:06:53 Do you understand this?
00:07:05 Well, take your time.
00:07:08 No need to rush.
00:07:11 Medical College
00:07:16 Congratulations
00:07:56 What do you want to live here for?
00:08:00 Do you have to move out?
00:08:03 Ah, and there's your college?
00:08:07 I suppose it is near.
00:08:13 Look, I'm worried.
00:08:17 Does it have to be here?
00:08:29 The ovum, a product of
00:08:33 ...by means of cellular growth,
00:08:37 ...creates an organism.
00:08:39 This person experienced trauma
00:08:44 This area is responsible f or
00:08:48 From this we can conclude the following:
00:08:50 Human character is not a constant...
00:08:54 The brain and spinal cord f orm
00:08:58 Nerve cells are concentrated
00:09:01 I wonder, then...
00:09:02 where the soul lies...
00:09:05 Beneath this, however...
00:09:09 ...there is the vast realm
00:09:13 It is here that our suppressed desires...
00:09:17 ...can cause deep mental conflict
00:10:00 Hey!
00:10:03 I, er...
00:10:19 When streaking the petri sample
00:10:26 Very good, Mr. Takagi.
00:10:29 Wow! Yours is excellent.
00:10:33 How's mine?
00:10:35 What a mess!
00:10:36 It's contaminated!
00:10:38 What are you lot up to?
00:10:44 Stop joking around.
00:10:50 Why are you telling me this
00:10:53 And how can you say it so lightly?
00:10:57 So my Ms. Yoshimoto is after Takagi?
00:11:00 You can't take your eyes off him.
00:11:03 Scary.
00:11:06 What's wrong with you?
00:11:09 Is it about the entrance exam?
00:11:12 About Takagi being top?
00:11:14 That's why you changed tack, eh?
00:11:18 Or you approached me only to know
00:11:25 For the price of sweets you should
00:11:30 You sneak y BITCH!
00:12:25 I understand you want to be alone.
00:12:28 But don't brood too much.
00:12:31 I had some of your furnlture taken
00:12:37 I thought it would help you remember.
00:12:45 Flrst: Ikuml Yoshimoto
00:12:48 I'm third. Ikumi beat me again.
00:12:50 Hiroshi, you're second.
00:12:54 Excellent!
00:12:57 How did you do it?
00:12:58 Tell me your secret.
00:13:01 Hey, everybody!
00:13:03 Dr. Nakai has been found, dead.
00:13:05 He hanged himself.
00:13:07 It's still not officially announced yet.
00:13:12 But I heard it in the research lab.
00:13:16 Who's Dr. Nakai?
00:13:17 The microbiology teacher.
00:13:20 No, you're kidding.
00:13:48 So, dissectlon classes are startlng, eh?
00:13:52 It's like a doctors' Initiation ceremony.
00:13:56 So far, what you've done
00:14:02 Come this far In 3 years,
00:14:07 Slnce you started mediclne
00:14:10 I swear granddad's plcture
00:15:05 Medical history stems from wanting to
00:15:10 Dr. Genpaku Sugita was amazed by
00:15:15 and his texts.
00:15:20 Eventually "Kaitai Shinsho" was
00:15:27 Trust your own eyes. This is
00:15:33 The truth is there f or you to see.
00:15:39 As students of medicine
00:15:45 You have the opportunity to
00:15:50 Treat them with respect at all times. We
00:15:58 First, take off the vinyl sheet.
00:16:08 Only remove the cover from
00:16:12 It protects the cadaver from drying.
00:16:14 For today, remove the whole cover.
00:16:18 Inspect your sub ject.
00:16:21 Are there any operation scars?
00:16:24 Make a thorough inspection.
00:16:44 Make a long vertical incision here.
00:16:50 Then make a lateral incision.
00:16:53 Take this corner piece.
00:16:57 Is it usual f or a subject to be so young?
00:17:01 No, it's very rare.
00:17:04 I wonder how she died.
00:17:07 You'll find out as you dissect.
00:17:31 What's wrong?
00:17:34 Because it's her neck?
00:17:38 No.
00:18:12 Don't peel too thickly.
00:18:14 The tendons will stick to the skin.
00:18:17 We use those when we say "ee".
00:18:21 There, beneath the skin in the neck.
00:19:06 She's hopeless.
00:19:08 Remember her "spectacular" speech
00:19:12 "Human body as being an antenna
00:19:19 You want this?
00:20:09 How many times did this heart beat?
00:20:12 Seventy times a minute is 4200
00:20:15 So in a day? Well, 24 times that.
00:20:20 How many times if you live to 80?
00:20:23 And yet my TV broke after 6 years.
00:20:27 Was anything wrong with this heart?
00:20:31 There's something wrong in the lungs.
00:20:34 See, I can't get my hand in very far.
00:20:44 There are 2 or 3 white lumps in the liver.
00:20:49 And look at the colon.
00:20:51 This person had a colostomy.
00:20:54 Cancer of the colon can easily move
00:20:57 Why did this person die?
00:21:01 Mr. Takagi?
00:21:04 I don't know.
00:21:08 We can't tell by the organs alone.
00:21:11 We'll find out later.
00:21:14 I wonder what she was like.
00:21:16 Shame to die so young.
00:23:16 I must have dozed off.
00:23:21 I had an awful dream.
00:23:33 I nearly remembered the dream.
00:23:39 And why did I think of that?
00:23:44 Who told me?
00:23:48 That story about Martian robots.
00:23:55 You want to hear?
00:23:59 Do it to me.
00:24:03 Me too.
00:24:31 Most men are so fierce.
00:24:35 You're better f or me.
00:24:40 Today was relaxing.
00:24:44 Don't get me wrong.
00:24:48 I'm not as easy as you may think.
00:24:58 What's up?
00:25:02 You're so distant after class today.
00:25:12 It was me who killed Dr. Nakai.
00:25:17 I dated him bef ore college.
00:25:21 An older friend introduced us.
00:25:27 He had a family, but he was kind to me.
00:25:32 But things got wrong,
00:25:36 He left no will, and no one
00:25:40 I tried to think it wasn't my fault.
00:25:43 My parents were always happy
00:25:49 Some funny-looking reporters were
00:25:54 In our house the sun was
00:25:59 So after a while...
00:26:02 The fact that Dr. Nakai was dead...
00:26:06 just didn't bother me.
00:26:11 I wonder what it was like f or him.
00:26:26 Harder.
00:26:28 Do it harder.
00:27:17 What's up?
00:27:19 Nothing. I'm okay.
00:27:24 Watch this.
00:27:24 What?
00:27:26 "Bye bye"
00:27:27 Leave it!
00:28:10 I thought I'd get something
00:28:13 Turns out I got nothing.
00:28:16 They look real to me though.
00:28:23 As f or me, I'm not sure if I am 'real'.
00:28:28 It's like as if I am sleeping and dreaming.
00:28:34 So, you liked drawing.
00:28:39 Are you going to be a doctor?
00:28:54 Everyone thought I would be a doctor.
00:29:01 My parents, relatives, even me.
00:29:20 When I dozed off here the other day
00:29:24 I f elt like I'd slept f or a long time.
00:29:31 What?
00:29:34 I'm remembering something else.
00:29:37 I can't quite grasp it.
00:29:41 I wonder what it is.
00:29:49 When you're "there"
00:29:56 But if that were the case...
00:30:01 I see.
00:30:05 Look...
00:30:07 I know we have to take things slowly.
00:30:13 But she died in the car crash that day.
00:30:18 Don't worry. It was not your fault.
00:30:25 Her name was Ryoko.
00:30:27 She passed away bef ore you woke up.
00:30:33 The body that I'm dissecting is...
00:30:39 Ryoko's body.
00:30:42 I don't think it can be a coincidence.
00:30:45 I did hear she wanted to leave
00:30:49 Other than that, I don't know.
00:30:52 If what you think is true...
00:30:56 That would be surprising.
00:30:59 Thank you so much.
00:31:29 Why have you come here?
00:31:32 Just go away.
00:31:36 Your parents were very sincere
00:31:41 What I really want to see
00:31:45 You were driving when it happened.
00:31:51 I still feel you murdered my daughter.
00:31:56 If you want to mourn her...
00:31:58 ...do it when you truly remember her.
00:32:05 I'm starting to remember already.
00:32:10 Right now, at college...
00:32:13 I'm doing my dissection practice.
00:32:16 There is something I need to know.
00:32:20 If you can tell me...
00:32:24 Ryoko is on the dissection table.
00:32:28 I don't quite understand it.
00:32:29 Are you serious?
00:32:32 Well?
00:32:36 Tell me it's not true.
00:32:40 You want to know if it's her?
00:32:46 Right?
00:32:50 You heartless FUCK!
00:32:52 How the hell should I know?
00:32:55 Just bef ore she died she told us.
00:32:58 Leaving her body to science.
00:33:02 We didn't know you even could.
00:33:06 And now you think you're poking
00:33:11 What kind of a quack's school is that?
00:33:14 I'm getting on the phone.
00:33:16 It's despicable!
00:33:20 In fact, fuck the phone.
00:33:22 I'll go there in person.
00:33:41 Dr. Kashiwabuchi.
00:33:43 Yes?
00:33:45 What is it?
00:33:47 Sorry, nothing.
00:33:52 Sir.
00:33:55 May I dissect my sub ject alone?
00:33:58 Why?
00:34:00 The others are making such a mess.
00:34:03 No, you can't.
00:34:07 There are bound to be mistakes.
00:34:19 What's the matter?
00:34:24 What's wrong.
00:34:25 Nothing.
00:34:36 Today we will observe
00:34:39 Take off the head covers.
00:35:12 Where're we heading?
00:35:17 Hiroshi.
00:35:21 What would it be like
00:35:27 Would it hurt?
00:35:33 I remembered the dream I had.
00:37:29 You hate me!
00:37:32 Well, why then?
00:37:35 You've not made love to me yet. Why?
00:37:47 Is there someone else?
00:37:52 Is there?
00:38:09 Dancing?
00:38:14 She never danced when she was alive.
00:38:22 Your memory is still mixed up.
00:38:25 It isn't a memory.
00:38:28 I was there with her.
00:38:32 Not a memory of myself.
00:38:34 I mean the real me. I was there.
00:38:48 And what kind of "dance" was it?
00:38:51 The one that Ryoko did.
00:39:12 You make sure you take good care
00:39:15 If not, the school will be in trouble.
00:39:18 And I'll kill you.
00:39:21 I carry a big knif e all the time.
00:39:29 Hey.
00:39:36 My wif e is ill.
00:39:42 You should keep coming round.
00:39:46 Tell us about your time with Ryoko.
00:40:11 I'm going now.
00:40:12 Do you have to?
00:40:16 But where do you go?
00:40:19 I'll see you again.
00:40:20 Stay with me a little more.
00:40:25 But we can't, right?
00:40:32 Hiroshi!
00:40:40 I'll come again soon.
00:40:59 What is it?
00:41:01 May we be moved to another group?
00:41:05 Why?
00:41:06 It's just that...
00:41:08 Mr. Takagi?
00:41:11 Yes.
00:41:13 The other 3 haven't complained.
00:41:16 It's just a matter of time.
00:41:27 What?
00:41:30 What's your problem?
00:41:56 Mr. Takagi, put your gloves on.
00:42:01 Mr. Takagi.
00:42:04 Sir, I think there's an operation scar
00:42:10 I see.
00:42:14 And a blood clot on the other side.
00:42:17 That could be the direct cause.
00:42:20 A gradual hemorrhage, probably.
00:42:24 Do you think
00:42:27 Between the operation and the
00:42:30 It's quite possible.
00:42:57 Our 4-month dissection program,
00:43:04 Make sure your inspection
00:43:15 You're making fine progress.
00:43:19 I suppose studying hands-on
00:43:23 I guess.
00:43:25 That's good.
00:43:29 But try not to get too absorbed.
00:43:35 Dr. Kashiwabuchi was a little worried.
00:43:39 You're becoming more distant
00:43:49 Dad...
00:43:53 ...when I saw her on the
00:43:55 I couldn't understand at all.
00:43:58 But now I know much more.
00:44:02 It's like... she made her own way there.
00:44:11 Hiroshi.
00:44:15 Please come back to us.
00:46:29 Ryoko?
00:46:40 You strangle me too.
00:46:43 Grab me!
00:46:46 Please, Hiroshi.
00:46:49 You want to die, right?
00:46:51 Let's do it together!
00:46:55 Strangle me!
00:46:58 Strangle me!
00:49:23 Do you have to go?
00:49:25 I'll come back soon.
00:49:26 No.
00:49:27 No! No!
00:49:29 Please don't go.
00:49:33 What's the matter?
00:49:34 I'll be back soon.
00:49:38 You'll see me soon.
00:49:39 No! No! Don't go!
00:50:02 Hello. Mr. Hlroshl Takagi?
00:50:06 Yes.
00:50:08 This Is the police station.
00:50:11 We have a young woman here...
00:50:14 She won't tell us anythlng,
00:50:19 All she gave us was your name
00:50:24 I'm sorry we had to call so late.
00:50:34 You are Mr. Takagi?
00:50:50 So, you turned up.
00:50:54 What's got into you?
00:50:57 Why are you chasing a dead woman?
00:51:02 What about those of us still living?
00:51:05 All your happy, false memories.
00:51:18 Mr. Takagi.
00:51:20 Please, Mr. Takagi.
00:51:23 Please, step back!
00:51:24 Be careful!
00:51:25 Mr. Takagi!
00:51:26 Look out!
00:52:20 I'm confused about "time".
00:52:26 What is my consciousness?
00:52:31 Is it like the story of the
00:52:37 That's it.
00:52:39 People programmed robots
00:52:44 After that...
00:52:47 ...all the humans died out.
00:52:50 A robot was stranded on Mars.
00:52:54 Bef ore the end there was a huge,
00:53:02 So, me being here,
00:53:06 ...it's like the robot is showing me.
00:53:10 An electrical broadcast of
00:53:15 Hiroshi.
00:53:17 It's because your memory is returning.
00:53:20 They're memories.
00:53:23 As f or Ryoko.
00:53:26 Well, she's gone now.
00:53:29 No, that's wrong.
00:53:31 They aren't memories.
00:53:33 It's not as clear-cut as that.
00:53:41 I think...
00:53:44 No good to think too much about her.
00:53:48 And the dissection.
00:53:51 You should stop doing it.
00:53:53 No way.
00:53:54 You've done your best.
00:53:57 But it's time to give up.
00:53:58 No!
00:54:01 I don't care what you say.
00:54:04 I'll tell Dr. Kashiwabuchi
00:54:08 You do that, and I'll kill you.
00:55:12 I wanted to think you had killed her.
00:55:17 But the light had gone from her eyes
00:55:25 It was when she was in high school.
00:55:28 She was fine before then.
00:55:33 Why did she lose it, I wonder.
00:55:39 Even we didn't know.
00:55:46 I only saw the light one other time.
00:55:51 Just after the accident.
00:55:56 It was after the operation
00:56:01 Your dad suggested she be moved
00:56:08 That was it.
00:56:11 She was fully conscious
00:56:19 It was then she mentioned
00:56:26 After she died...
00:56:29 ...her body should be tak en to
00:56:34 I've never seen her so serious.
00:56:40 But that wasn't easy to accept f or me.
00:56:44 No way.
00:56:47 Why should she want to inflict
00:56:54 I couldn't understand why
00:57:01 How could I agree to that when she
00:57:13 Soon after that she lost consciousness.
00:57:17 A vegetable, according to the doctor.
00:57:24 She was moved to a private room.
00:57:31 My wif e and I were beside her.
00:57:38 It f eels like a dream now.
00:57:43 Just when I thought "It's all over"...
00:57:47 I saw Ryoko sitting up in bed.
00:57:53 I thought she had recovered.
00:57:59 My wif e was asleep.
00:58:04 I saw the curtain at the window.
00:58:08 It was moving gently in the wind.
00:58:14 Ryoko looked so refreshed.
00:58:22 She looked out of the window.
00:58:26 Then she turned slowly to me.
00:58:31 "Don't f orget my request", she said.
00:58:37 She spoke as plain as day.
00:58:46 She died that same evening.
00:58:57 When she's finally laid out...
00:59:00 Put these in her coffin.
00:59:05 It's okay now.
00:59:07 You can f orget about her.
00:59:10 You must be tired, too.
00:59:13 Not at all.
00:59:15 I still have a long way to go yet.
00:59:19 It's not right.
00:59:21 I don't care that his
00:59:25 It's not natural.
00:59:28 It's unforgivable.
00:59:40 In a way...
00:59:43 ...it reminds me how you were
00:59:49 How could they refuse
00:59:55 All the memories of you
01:00:01 It was frightening.
01:00:07 I have to finish up now.
01:00:16 Just another minute.
01:00:21 Well?
01:00:27 All right, you can take her.
01:00:33 No, hold on.
01:00:37 Why putting it off?
01:00:40 I think it's better that
01:00:44 We'll take good care of her here.
01:00:49 If I'd known this would happen, I wouldn't
01:00:56 It's just coincidence...
01:00:58 that she became Hiroshi's subject.
01:01:01 Makes no diff erence you asked or not.
01:01:07 I can't change the rules.
01:05:36 I didn't want to die
01:05:43 Where do I go?
01:05:46 I'm scared.
01:05:49 I'm scared to be alone.
01:05:53 I'm sorry.
