01x08 - Memento

[bunniefuu]

Ah! Wait. Are you making curry for us?

Shinpei's famous curry?

Aah!

(groans)

Ushioh?

Really? This again? Hey.

Why do you look like you just saw a ghost?

You're only supposed

to appear on the 24th!

Huh? Wait. How would you know that?

Huh?

Listen, Shinpei.

This might be kinda hard to believe,

but something terrible happens

on the 24th.

USHIOH: Everyone at the festival

gets swallowed up

by some black shadow monster.

SHINPEI: Uh Wait a sec, you

Did you come from the summer festival too?

-USHIOH: Huh? Uh, wait a second, did you?

-(door opens)

(Mio sighs)

I just washed my eyes,

I feel a lot better now.

(gasps)

Uh, what what is it?

MIO: That smell!

Are you making your curry?

SHINPEI (stammers): Yes.

MIO: Aah! I should've thought of that.

-(stomach rumbles)

-Aah!

Shin-chan! Your stomach is rumbling!

You're just like Sis.

Thank goodness.

That means you're feeling better.

Uh, I guess so.

SHINPEI: Calm down, calm down.

Just try to focus on making the curry.

I I can't believe this. This is bad.

Oh, god, Ms. Nagumo, this isn't

just some insignificant difference.

(chuckles)

(door opens)

ALAIN: Ah, hey, sorry I took so long

to get back, Shinpei.

That Mr. Karikiri sure can talk.

SHINPEI: Welcome back. It's almost done.

-Mio.

-Hm?

Aren't you supposed

to be helping with the cooking?

Come on, don't be silly,

my only job is eating!

ALAIN: Boy, that smells great.

Ushio always used to love that.

SHINPEI: Five minutes from now,

Alain does the laundry,

Mio goes to the bathroom.

Go to my room, but be careful.

Don't be seen.

Mm!

SHINPEI: Does she have any idea

what's going on here?

FAKE CALL TO TOTSUMURA

TELL SOU I'LL CALL HIM TOMORROW

SHINPEI: Okay. All done!

MIO: Hey, where are you going?

SHINPEI: Ugh! Uh, I'm going to eat

in my room.

Why two plates?

Ugh! Well, I'm just super hungry.

(nervous laughter)

(theme music)

SUMMER TIME RENDERING

-Curry! Curry!

-(Shinpei gasps)

-SHINPEI: That's the

-Curry!

MEMENTO

-the curry chant!

-Curry! Curry, ha-ha-ha!

-Chef Shinpei

-SHINPEI: g*dd*mn it.

-Why is this happening?

-USHIOH: hurry with the curry!

Don't let the shadows trick you

with their outward appearance, Shinpei.

(shrieks)

(breathes sharply)

Can I eat?

SHINPEI: Sure.

All right! Thank you for this meal!

SHINPEI: Somehow, this shadow managed

to loop back with me this time.

-Yummy!

-SHINPEI: That has to be what happened.

Wait. How exactly did you get here?

Huh? I just walked, you dummy.

I woke up right in the middle

of Omotohama Beach.

But don't worry. I'm sure no one saw me.

MIO: It's a monster!

USHIOH: I guess I am a lot like a monster.

I'll make sure no one sees me again.

Like a monster? No. No, that's

that's not not true.

Huh? What was that?

Did you just do something?

I felt something! It tickled!

Ah No. I'm sorry.

(Ushioh groans)

God, I got goose bumps.

SHINPEI: I can k*ll it.

Just stab its shadow. Just do it.

(munches)

Mmm!

SHINPEI: This'd be the perfect moment.

It's totally off guard.

But now that I think about it,

it did basically save me that time.

(giggling)

Mmm!

SHINPEI: What the

USHIO: Tokyo?

SHINPEI: Alain has a friend

who's lived there for a while.

I'm going to stay there

and go to culinary school.

I won't do high school in Wakayama.

USHIO: Wait, seriously?

SHINPEI: I made up my mind.

USHIO: You never told me any of this.

SHINPEI: It's not like I need

to tell you, do I?

How can you make

a decision like that by yourself?

I don't understand

why I can't decide for myself?

The truth is, I'm not a Kofune.

I have to be my own person.

I just need to go out there

and start making a living on my own.

I'm done being a constant burden

to you and Alain! I'm done!

A burden?

USHIO: Do you hate it here that much?

Huh? Why'd you say that?

SHINPEI: It's not that, Ushio.

Forget it!

-I didn't even have to tell you!

-SHINPEI: Listen, I I

-You know what? You forget it!

-SHINPEI: I love you.

(Ushio grunts)

(gasps)

SHINPEI: I don't want us

to become family this way.

Not brother and sister.

(waves crashing)

USHIO: Hey, Shinpei.

Today is your last day, right?

I want Shinpei's famous curry for dinner.

Huh? I really need

to finish packing, okay?

SHINPEI: Next time, though.

USHIO: You big dummy.

SHINPEI: But there was no next time.

At least, that's what I thought.

You finally made your curry for me.

I'm so glad.

I'm so glad I got to eat your curry again.

I'm glad I'm alive.

You like it?

Look, seconds!

USHIOH: To be honest with you,

it's just not as good when Dad makes it.

I really like yours, Shinpei,

it's the best.

SHINPEI: This has to be Ushio.

She's Ushio.

(stomach rumbles)

That's good. I'm glad.

USHIOH: Hey, Shinpei. Do you think

the same thing will happen on the 24th?

SHINPEI: Yeah. I think so.

And I'm going to try to stop it.

-USHIOH: I wanna help too.

-Huh?

I can't stand by and do nothing

while the summer festival gets ruined

by that monster.

And I can't let Mio

and the others disappear.

That's right. Me too.

We will do it together!

Mm!

Can you analyze and copy humans?

Ah! Hmm

Ha!

SHINPEI: Okay, I guess not.

HIZURU: Current time is 8:45 p.m.

Mio's shadow should appear

in about ten minutes.

How are things going over there?

NEZU: All clear so far.

Just a breeze coming off the water.

Looks like there's plenty

of light in town tonight.

You hear from Shinpei?

HIZURU: Nothing yet.

NEZU: You can't rely too much

on what he's seen

in other loops, Ryunosuke.

Prey never moves the way you expect it to,

no matter what plans you make.

Even the best hunters

constantly need to adapt.

HIZURU: Roger that.

(cell phone buzzes)

ANY ISSUES?

SHINPEI: It's from Ms. Nagumo.

Should I mention Ushioh to her?

Or should I just lie?

But I

-USHIOH: Shinpei?

-Uh, yeah?

Why are you still dressed like that?

It's weird to wear a swimsuit

in the house.

-Huh? Oh, yeah. Wait, why didn't

-(static)

Why didn't it bother me until just now?

That's weird.

-Uh, hey!

-Huh?

What the hell did you do?

SHINPEI: It wasn't me!

USHIOH: My swimsuit disappeared!

What happened? What the

Is it because you copied the swimsuit?

USHIOH: Whatever!

Just give me something to wear!

(eerie music)

Huh? Mio's shadow is coming?

Did you lock up?

SHINPEI: We'll be fine.

Honestly, locking up

won't help much, anyway.

A shadow can slip in

through the tiniest gap

in a window or wall.

Seriously? Hang on, I want to try!

(grunting)

SHINPEI: It's fine, don't worry.

If I remember correctly,

it hasn't come in here.

Not even once.

(knocks on door)

MIO: Shin-chan?

-It's Mio! Quick, hide!

-(gasps)

(Ushioh groans)

-Did you finish eating?

-Huh?

I wanna wash the dishes for you.

SHINPEI: Ah, the dishes. Sure thing.

MIO: Uh, you all done?

Why did you use two spoons?

-(both grunt)

-MIO: Two glasses too.

Huh? Is that weird or something?

Nope, it's not weird at all!

MIO: Answering your own question?

Hang on a sec, Sis isn't here, is she?

(grunts)

I get it. You made this bowl for her,

didn't you, Shin-chan?

Aah

MIO: She's definitely here, isn't she?

MIO: Legend says

that on the island of Hitogashima,

lost souls return home

as guardian spirits.

Mr. Karikiri always said that.

Ah You can just leave the bowls.

I'll wash them later, Mio.

Mm. Thanks for the meal, Shin-chan.

Man, oh, man. That was a close one.

Mio really does have good instincts.

Whoa! Oh, god!

What What is it? You forget something?

SHINPEI: What the

It's not

(gasps)

(splatters)

(foreboding music)

Ushioh!

That hurt!

(grunts)

(grunts)

(tense music)

(groans)

(yells)

(panting)

SHINPEI: There's no way

I can beat it in a fight.

But if I'm going to die, anyway,

I have to try.

Just try! I have to do everything I can!

Come on, Mioh. I'm taking you down!

Shin Shinpei.

MIOH: Hey, Sis, why are you

on Shin-chan's side?

He's with Nezu and Minakata,

they k*ll shadows.

So the fake ones

don't have the same instincts.

I love Shinpei. He's family.

Go ahead, tell me what's wrong

with helping someone I love?

(sighs)

But you died, didn't you?

MIOH: My sister died that day.

You already died!

Shin

(g*nsh*t)

(screeches)

(grunts)

-NEZU: What did I tell you?

-(c*ck g*n)

(panting)

-MIOH: It I It hurts

-(static)

Why would you do this, Shin-chan?

One other thing. Shin-chan, listen.

(Shinpei exhales sharply)

(grunts)

(Shinpei breathes heavily)

(gasps)

Ushioh. Hey, come on, stay with me.

-Ushioh!

-HIZURU: I'm coming in.

(gasps)

Wait, Ms. Nagumo

(Shinpei grunts)

Shinpei, why are you getting in my way?

HIZURU: I'm really glad you to see

that you're safe.

But look at that thing.

It's clearly a shadow.

Now, move, so I can k*ll it.

I I won't!

Hey. Did that shadow get into your head?

Didn't I tell you the longer

you talk to them,

the easier they can trick you?

I know you have a deep grudge

against shadows in general,

and you're determined to hunt down

every last one.

But listen, this one wound up

protecting me twice, it sacrificed itself.

The shadow is so irrational.

It doesn't even think before it acts.

You know what that means, right?

That means it has to be Ushio!

Ms. Nagumo, I beg you, please promise me

you'll treat her injuries

like my broken arm!

-(head thuds)

-Please help it, I'm begging you!

This is unbelievable.

Letting a shadow go is one thing,

but going out of your way

to heal it is another.

If you side with the shadows,

then I'll have to k*ll you too.

Okay, fine.

The next time I loop back,

I'll be sure to talk you out

of k*lling of her shadow.

-USHIOH: Shinpei.

-Uh

(gasps)

Mio? Is the real Mio okay?

Oh, um I

-HIZURU: The real one is in the bath.

-(gasps)

I checked on her already.

SHINPEI: What? Really?

All right. That's great.

HIZURU: She does have the same voice.

USHIO: Nagu Can you hear me?

HIZURU: That's the voice

that brought me to this island.

So I guess we should adapt? Okay, fine.

HIZURU: Show me where you're hurt.

HIZURU: The person who sent me

that message was Ushio Kofune.

(Ushioh grunts)

Huh? No way! Wait! Wait, it's gone!

Look, my arm disappeared!

Ushioh?

Wait. It doesn't hurt.

That injury is a projection

of the damage felt by the actual shadow.

Normal treatment won't be able to heal it.

-So be careful of--

-Nah, it's cool. It doesn't hurt at all.

You got over that way too quick.

HIZURU: You've grown up a lot

since I last saw you.

My name's Hizuru Minakata.

You probably don't remember me.

HIZURU: I used to come

to Bistro Kofune a lot.

Huh? Really?

Sorry, I don't remember.

HIZURU: Here, listen to this.

-USHIO: Summer festival

-USHIOH: Huh?

USHIO: k*lled by shadows

And only Shin Shinpei Ajiro

can stop it.

Please, I need help.

-Please, please. Help me.

-Oh.

Does this message sound familiar?

What is that? It sounded like my voice.

This is the reason I came here.

So you really don't remember this at all?

Mm.

I see. All right, then.

Just forget about it.

We've got a bigger problem right now.

Why did the shadow Mio

go inside the Kofune's place at all?

The shadow Mio knew

that Shiori was done for.

Apparently, they're sharing information.

The shadow Mio was aware of us

and decided to get rid of us.

It was after Nezu and I

had already joined forces,

but then it found out

that Shinpei was with us too.

So the shadow Mio entered

your house determined to k*ll Shinpei.

Is it because I went

with you to Koba Mart?

But how did it find out?

SHINPEI: We k*lled all the shadows

we could find when we got there.

In any case, I don't think

I can work alongside you anymore.

At least, as long as you stay

with Ushio's shadow.

This version of Ushio

may have saved your life,

and it might not seem

like it's a threat to us.

HIZURU: But if she's just a shadow

that's temporarily broken,

we don't know when she might get fixed.

Listen to what she's saying, Shinpei.

That's the most we can do.

-SHINPEI: Ms. Nagumo!

-Hm?

Listen to me, at three tomorrow,

Mio's shadow will try to k*ll you

in Shinju Forest.

We k*lled one Shadow Mio,

but there could be others.

Be careful. Please don't get k*lled.

We can change our destinies.

And this is a chance for us to prove it.

BISTRO KOFUNE

LUNCH SPECIALS

ALARM

SNOOZE, STOP

JULY 23

-USHIOH: Shinpei.

-Uh

Good morning.

Oh, wait, you're awake?

Man, I'm really hungry.

I'm pretty thirsty too.

Hang on, I'll bring you something.

Thanks!

Oh, yeah.

Mm-hm. Thanks a lot, Tokiko.

I definitely feel better.

Oh, no, I'm sorry I kept you up.

Yeah. Goodbye.

Huh?

Good morning, Shin-chan.

Obviously I'm up already,

so you don't have to come wake me.

Uh, okay. Got it?

Uh, okay.

SHINPEI: She can't come wake me

if I'm already up.

MIO: Hang on, Shin-chan!

(gasps)

Mio gave you this?

Yeah. That's the original necklace.

The original.

Does it make you

remember anything, Ushioh?

Like, maybe before you died?

Uh

SHINPEI: Will just you think

about it for me?

USHIOH: Wait, where are you going?

SHINPEI: We're opening

the restaurant today.

USHIOH: Oh, okay. Sounds a lot like Dad.

SHINPEI: Yeah, the restaurant

is always there.

It has to stay exactly the same.

Alain always said that.

It's my job to protect

these simple, everyday rituals.

Hey, Shinpei! Sorry.

Did I come a little early?

(crickets chirping)

-Sorry about that.

-Oh.

-Take it.

-What the

It's super sunny today.

SHINPEI: Come on. Just take one.

What's up with you? You're such a weirdo.

I'm not going to beat around the bush.

I need to tell you something.

It's actually about Ushio's death.

Mm.

Ligature marks, right? It turns out,

someone might have k*lled me.

That's right.

(stammers)

Who the hell are you?

SHINPEI:

Ushioh, you can lose the disguise.

SOU: Huh? Ushio?

Ah No, god! It It can't be

(terrified groan)

SOU: Ushio!

Yo.

USHIOH: I think he froze.

SHINPEI:

Eventually, we told Sou everything.

He sat there quietly and listened

to everything we had to say.

SOU: Sorry. If only I had done

done more to save her life that day

If only I just

I know regrets like this

will never bring her back!

But, please, please just

Hit me! If you don't

-I'm gonna--

-(grunts)

-Nailed it!

-(body thuds)

Stand up, Sou.

-Do you feel better now? Do you?

-(groaning)

Listen to me,

we're relying on you here, okay?

Quit whining, pull it together!

The private beach behind

the elementary school.

USHIOH: Here it is. This is where I died.

So she really doesn't remember it?

Mm-hm.

USHIOH: Oh! Hey, that's my phone.

I wanted to see what's on it,

but I guess it's locked.

(cell phone buzzes)

-Huh? The password changed.

-(cell phone beeps)

-Oh, it opened.

-(gasps)

By fingerprint.

Check your email, memos,

photos, anything could help.

Huh? Friday was the 20th, right?

There's a video file from the morning

of the day before I died.

SHINPEI: That's it!

USHIOH: Hold on. We should watch it.

(closing theme music)
