02x04 - Episode 4

[bunniefuu]

These cookies taste better.

Hey,

would you mind telling me

what my symbol is?

That guy you hang out with?

You should know that he's a m*rder*r.

- What?

- His name's Sunato Banda.

It was in the newspaper.

m*rder*d four women, so,

that makes him a serial k*ller.

And, you know, that's punishable by death.

That's a filthy lie.

No. It's true.

Know what I think?

I think he's the Jack of Hearts.

There's only five of us left.

Time is running out,

so the Jack's gonna start

to get aggressive now.

Might as well share symbols.

For the moment, you're in a good position.

The Jack still trusts you.

So if anyone is going to lie to the Jack,

it has to be you.

Which means

this game can only end one way.

The key player here is you.

I'm sure this is a lot,

and you don't trust me yet.

For what it's worth,

there's no advantage for me to lie,

so I'll tell you the truth

about your symbol.

Don't you wanna make sure

that Banda's telling you the truth?

What makes you think

that I would trust you over him?

You don't have to if you don't want to.

If I were in your shoes,

I'd want to weigh my options.

And I've got no reason to lie to you.

Banda's a m*rder*r, and that's a fact.

I still don't trust you.

Fine.

You'll see for yourself,

once the next round is over.

You're a spade, just so you know.

So, will you tell me mine?

Come on. I told you what yours is.

I never agreed to this deal.

Heart.

What's happening?

I think the Jack of Hearts is

is that guy right there.

I thought he was suspicious too.

Well, don't worry.

He'll die this round.

You can trust me on that.

That kid Banda.

He's the one we need to watch out for.

You know that emo kid

who lied first to k*ll that big guy?

Banda's the one

who convinced him to lie to the man.

- I saw him do it.

- Huh?

He whispered in his ear.

Banda looks innocent, but he's got

no actual empathy for anyone else.

He can only process human emotion

through logic and reason.

He's certifiably psychopathic.

He's the Jack of Hearts. I'm sure of it.

There are only five of us left,

and unfortunately, my partner's dead.

I asked that guy Matsushita

what my symbol is,

but he told me he doesn't trust me,

and I'm pretty sure that he lied to me.

Sort of a hunch, I guess.

So, would you mind

telling me what my symbol is?

I know this is kind of a big ask.

But if you want, I promise to tell you

your symbol in exchange.

I don't mean to presume,

but you strike me as an honest person,

at least from over here.

Also, that Yaba guy strikes me

as a bit of a conman,

and since you're aligned with him,

I thought you should know.

Let me get right to the point.

Are you the Jack of Hearts or not?

I'll only say this.

I might be the Jack of Hearts,

but the fact that you're bringing it up

means it could be you.

I know one thing.

You and I will never get along.

Your symbol

is a heart.

Now, what about mine?

It's a club, right?

These taste better, you know.

Five people left,

and only two pairs.

The Jack's definitely going

to make a move this round.

Yeah

I guess that this is the last round.

Heart.

Thank you very much.

Diamond.

Spade.

All right, and now it's my turn.

Spade.

It is time to answer.

Please enter a solitary confinement

cell of your choosing.

I bet Matsushita lied to me.

I'm sure he did.

And Kotoko, she totally ignored me.

Meaning that it's a diamond,

or a spade, right?

Hmm.

Ah, well

I'll go with my gut.

Please give your answer.

I won.

Huh!

I had a feeling

you were the Jack of Hearts.

But how did you

You teamed up with Banda from the start,

and he's a m*rder*r,

so it just made sense.

We should be a team.

Even if somehow,

you were moved

by Banda's little monologue,

I knew you wouldn't trust him.

You don't trust strangers.

And certainly not as fast as that.

Most people

won't even talk to a guy like me.

But you wanted to k*ll me.

I could sense that in you right away.

So I wanted to see if you were smart,

or just stupid,

or whether you were a true psychopath.

You mean

You thought you were controlling me

this whole time.

But I was manipulating you

into thinking that way.

Ultimately, it was your huge

superiority complex that gave you away.

That kind of self-importance

usually comes

from being put in a special position.

Something that made you feel untouchable.

Like being chosen as the Jack.

You guys are wrong about this.

- Banda is the Jack of Hearts!

- Sorry, kid.

It's not Banda.

You and Kotoko were connected.

I told Kotoko what her symbol was.

And yet, she still d*ed.

Which means Kotoko was being manipulated

by someone other than me.

Well, then,

you should be accusing this guy instead.

Every time I went to the cafeteria,

you and Kotoko would always be there,

getting snacks at the same time.

This break

couldn't come soon enough.

- I don't

- I'm scared. Aren't you?

- When you trust

- I don't know what's going on.

I don't know if I can keep doing this.

You can trust me.

Every time I get through it,

I think, "I made it."

And each time,

you'd get the exact same kind of snack.

You and Kotoko were secretly

communicating in the cafeteria.

Spade.

Both of you were just pretending

that you were being controlled.

There were four different flavors

of the snack.

You would confirm your symbols

by checking the packaging,

using those snacks

as a code with each other.

I caught on pretty quickly.

And then,

you told Kotoko

to give me the wrong symbol.

Diamond.

I really did trust her.

Except at the end.

When did the three of you guys

start working together?

Well, the very first announcement said

that this game is about

how much we can trust one another.

So we simply followed that principle.

In order to gain someone's trust,

you can't

control, or manipulate,

or guide them in any way.

You can't brainwash or hypnotize them,

lie to them or instill fear.

It's called equality.

I know one thing.

You and I will never get along.

Tell me.

I want to know

why you're here

playing the games in this country?

I'll tell you why I'm here.

I've never seen a place

more beautiful than this one.

I'm here because I

because I believe that this world

is a place that is worth conquering.

Well, then, you and I might be

more alike than you think.

I'm starting

to get that feeling too.

Trust is the most important thing

in this game.

We'll be good for each other.

Intellectual equals,

and trustworthy partners.

Wait a sec.

What makes you so sure it's me?

The Jack of Hearts

could easily be one of you guys.

Okay, maybe I did try to blame everything

on you by setting you up, but look!

But that's not enough, huh?

You guys don't have any proof

that I'm the Jack of Hearts, huh?

- You sure about that?

- Huh?

Just think about it.

If they suspected that you were the Jack,

then why did you survive this last round?

Why didn't Banda lie?

Tell you the wrong thing?

The reason you're still alive

is because you're the Jack.

And these guys planned to keep you alive

because they decided they wanna

get information out of you.

Round 14, start.

What are you doing?

There have been so few opportunities

to really get to talk

to the citizens of this place.

We need you to tell us

the ins and outs of this country.

I'm sorry that

we won't be able to k*ll you, but

there are a lot of other ways to have fun.

We didn't get very much out of him.

I can't believe he just gave up

like that and said the wrong answer,

even though we told him

what the real answer was.

He certainly gave up

faster than I expected.

Hmm. Yeah.

My name is Kaito Kameyama.

- Fireworks

- I'll try to get out.

It's lots of fun here.

There are no laws,

so we can loot and k*ll as we please.

When I play the games,

It's like, "I don't f*ckin' care!"

Total freedom. Oh yeah!

It feels pretty great.

I hate it here.

That's why I'm smoking weed

and just flipping out!

What is this world?

What are these games?

Who's behind all of this?

You guys are f*cking crazy.

I'm gonna k*ll you!

Hey! Stop filming and help me here!

It's okay!

What the f*ck are you doing?

- Come here! I'm gonna k*ll you!

- Wait! Don't

- I'm gonna

- Hey! Don't!

Life is totally meaningless here.

Human beings are worthless.

Is that what this world

is trying to tell us?

Arisu. Do it.

Do we go back where we came from?

Otherwise everyone will die!

There.

Thank you.

You know

when Kyuma and I were talking

at the end of the game,

I figured something out.

They were all players to begin with,

and then eventually,

they started making the games themselves.

I mean that

we might not be able

to ever get home

even if we b*at every single game.

Because

our world might not even exist anymore.

Which means that

Tatta sacrificed himself

for nothing.

That might not be true.

There might still be a way to get back.

I'll keep trying.

I'll keep playing the games.

Tatta won't have d*ed in vain.

Are you really going?

I'm worried

about Ann and Chishiya.

I'm gonna go look for them.

We need more friends if we're gonna

take down the King of Spades.

And the more games that we b*at,

the closer we'll be to our goal.

Don't worry.

We'll see each other again.

Usagi.

You need to rest.

Arisu. Take care of Usagi.

Well, be safe.

You know,

I'd be down with going

to a deserted island.

I'd be down with zombies

showing up in Shibuya.

Everyone here gets bitten,

and they all turn into zombies!

Stop it with the zombie talk, will ya?

If zombies did show up here,

only Karube would survive.

You'd knock 'em out with one punch.

I doubt that.

You'd be the one to survive, Arisu.

Me? Why's that?

Because I know you'd outsmart 'em.

What?

Why are you acting like your life is over?

Huh?

Why are you making that face?

You look like it's the end of the world.

I was wondering what was on your mind.

So f*ckin' stupid.

Is your life so pathetic

that getting a job

will be the end of the world for you?

Don't worry so much.

Use your dad's connections.

Just do whatever you have to do

and leave the deep thoughts for later.

Arisu,

sometimes life

seems like it's at a dead end,

but there's always another path

you can take, even when things go wrong.

Huh?

Not really convincing coming from

a part-time bartender, though.

Do you have anything smart

to add? I highly doubt it.

Let me see

See, you got nothin'.

- What you said was still really cool.

- Shut up.

- Hard to do on the spot.

- Don't give me your sh*t.

- See?

- Keep your mouth shut, then.

Oh.

Mugwort.

Hey, do you wanna come hunting?

We don't have any food left.

I managed to pick this,

but we won't survive on plants alone.

Hey!

If you wanna eat meat,

then you need to help.

Arisu! Get it!

Arisu, would you get serious about this?

We don't have food for tonight.

Arisu, look! Over there!

Ah!

It's there! Look, look!

Ah! Aah!

Uh

Oh, there's one.

Ah, you were so close!

You're terrible at this, you know?

sh*t.

Huh.

- What?

- Over there!

This way? Oh!

- Usagi, it's there!

- Huh?

Ah!

Arisu!

Oh, sh**t!

Arisu, there it is.

Ah!

Oh, man. I give up.

Damn it.

No meat for you, I guess, huh?

Oh, I'm starving.

Come on.

Are you okay?

Film

- Huh?

- What film?

In here?

He must have been a photographer.

This is eight millimeter film.

Do you watch it with this?

My name is Kaito Kameyama.

For some reason,

electronic devices don't work here.

So I'm using this eight millimeter camera

to make a record of this place.

To document it.

To figure out what's going on.

Lots of fun here.

There are no laws,

so we can loot and k*ll as we please.

When I play the games,

it's like, "I don't f*ckin' care!"

Total freedom. Oh yeah!

It feels pretty great.

I hate it here.

That's why I'm smoking weed

and just flipping out.

It's been 26 days

since everyone disappeared.

Hey, what are you doing?

Ann?

Excuse me, miss.

Is there something wrong?

There are a lot more fish now.

The plants

are starting to cover everything.

It's like the further

we get from the city,

the more that nature is growing rampant.

Is that because

all the humans are gone?

Well, sure, that's definitely part of it.

But the plants have been growing

way too quickly.

The people that are here

all came at different times.

Certain things are rotting

more quickly than others.

Time doesn't seem

to work the same way here.

Where are you going?

I'm going to try to get out of Tokyo.

I wanna know what's behind all this.

It's been 33 days

since everyone disappeared.

I got a tip from a man I ran into.

Apparently, there's a whole community

outside of Setagaya.

I'm headed there right now.

Hi. I came here

because I heard a rumor

about someone who has a memory

about what happened to us.

Could you take me to them?

Sure, it's just over here.

Do you know

what it is they remember?

Do you remember the day

you arrived in this world, huh?

Yeah. I think so.

Did you see something in the sky?

- The fireworks?

- Fireworks?

Yes, I remember. I saw them.

Yeah, I saw them too.

This way. Come on.

This woman has a pretty crazy story

about them. Come on.

She's there. Over there.

This guy wants to hear

about the fireworks. Can you tell him?

Huh?

Oh.

The fireworks.

I have a story about them.

Would you like to hear it?

Yes.

I must be the only one who remembers.

Oh?

When I was a little girl,

I had a brain operation,

so they drilled a hole, a little one,

right here into my skull.

Maybe that's the reason.

I'm the only person

who seems to remember

everything about that day.

When

those

fireworks flew up into the sky

I saw them.

They flashed,

and they looked real.

But

but

they weren't actually

It's the King of Spades!

This documentary

is the only proof that I ever existed.

I'll do whatever I can to keep it safe

until it's found.

What's that sound?

Arisu, this way!

Watch out! That way!

Usagi!

Hey!

Usagi?

Who's there?

Are you a citizen?

Huh?

I guess you're not.

Why did you att*ck me?

You woulda gotten k*lled

if you'd kept running like that.

I told him to leave you behind.

We don't need dead weight.

But guess what?

He wanted to carry you all the way here.

Who did?

You'd better thank him, Arisu.

How do you know my name?

That's what he called you.

Oh, watch out.

He's in a pretty foul mood

since you messed up our plan.

Aguni?

Hey, newbie.
