Tomorrow is the 3rd anniversary of the Ark of Truth disaster
The religious cult introduced a genetically engineered virus
into Tokyo's water supply, which serves 11 million people
The contamination left
128 dead, and 8,000 others poisoned
Tomorrow morning at 8AM, Memorial services will be held
for victims' families at the 5 contaminated reservoirs
Those attending
will offer silent prayers
3 years after the cult was forced
to disband, former members have
again begun proselytizing
and they are once more under police surveillance
Tomorrow, exactly 3 years after the disaster, Victims' Groups
are expected to appeal to the government for strict sanctions
against any activity by former cult members
That's all for the news Next we'll be going live
from the first round of the 82nd Annual High School
Baseball National Championships

Still a student?

Kids like me...
But they tease me
Like about sex?
Like what?
A fantasy of yours?
Always wanted...
Huh...
But like where do you live?
Really digging, huh?
Not digging... 'Course I'm on the outskirts
Apartment? Public housing?
Something like that...

The earth's special at the Championships Arena
When you step on the ground there,
it's feels like super hot... You listening?
The earth at the Arena, they use volcanic ash from Kagoshima,
and special sand from the Tottori dunes
Don t you root for Tokyo? Your local team?
Never
Man, you're no fun
For someone who...
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Aren't you a little loud back there, for real!

Yeah, sure
Hey, gettin cloudy
It's not cloudy, just some clouds
Listen to this brat
What s that long stick, Masaru? That thing
This? A flute
A flute? You sure?
Watch out for bees
Bees, right They just love dark clothes
They can t keep away I think you blew it
I blew it
The flute itself was made in Indonesia
Huh, got anything to do with your brother...
Nope
Like praying for his spirit or something like that?
Nope, not at all
Sure?
Thought it'd feel good to play it here
Muddy!
Man, did I wear the wrong shoes!

Great weather

How old is your daughter now?
One and a half Listen...
Listening!
Ayumi!
Ayumi, huh?
She's still tiny... but she says Papa and Mama, right?
And when she's throwing something away,
she says " poi, ' like " poi" It sounds so great
And my wife does manicures and

Pedicures!
Exactly, so those fedicures, which my wife does,
she gives them to our girl, too, and it's so cute
Just like little red rubies
The apple of your eye
Listen, you know, it's all about having a family, you know
Makes you wanna work hard
Turn around, Kiyoka san
Oh, great, your dimples were all adorable
Meaning?
I say let s go have dinner
Yeah, anything s fine
Can't wait to get home and give Ayumi her bath
Watch out!
Watch it!
What is this Some kind of sick joke?
Is this for real? The pits
What happened here?
Stolen... you think?
Time to call... the cops on the cell phone, right?
For real? For real?
No good We're out of range
Real bummer
What do we...
It'll... work out...
Um, this was like... Pretty far by car, wasn't it?
Quite a ways
Not walking distance
Can't walk it Impossible
Leave anything in the car?
Oh, no
Minoru san?
Where are you going?
Minoru san
Let's walk back
Impossible, absolutely
No point staying here
Masaru,
staying here...
gets us nowhere Time to walk, guys
Minoru san
Kai san... Kai san!
Hurry before the sun sets
Can't camp out here
No, even if you walk...
Minoru san! You'll just end up camping out anyway
Listen, c'mon, let's sit down and think this thing through
Forget it, I'll go alone
We shouldn't split up We better stay together
Calm down
If something happens...
And work tomorrow?
It II turn pitch black part way
What, then?
You re... with the cult, aren't you?
Bike... yours?
It's mine
It's gone
What?
I think it got like stolen
What?
Can't get back...
Be pretty rough from here
We're all related to the perpetrators
We came to pray on their anniversary
By car... It was gone when we got back...
The closest...
No, there's nothing around here
But you lived around here?
Around here, but it's still a good ways
Do you have a phone?
We've got phones, but we re out of range
Yeah, right
What'll you do?
The guy in navy says he's going back
Oh, no, that's impossible It's really a long way
But I've got to get back
Can t we go... there?
Forget that guy, man
Just wait a minute, just a minute
I guess that's our only choice...
But... it s been a real long time since I...
There s nothing...
Just having a roof...
I'm taking off, Masaru!
We don't have many options...
C'mon, for real Listen, I'm serious
Forget it, why would I go there? I m not goin there, man!
Why would I go with him!
You guys are crazy, man!
Pretty standard
Stinks in here
What, take em off? Have to take our shoes off?
No shoes allowed? Shoes off?
If you don t mind
What the...
Second floor?
Yeah
Years of dust...
Cobwebs...
Blech!
Rusty, rust
You all... lived here
Six of you?
Yes...
What'd you do?
We had a garden, so we'd tend it and...
So you grew stuff... and ate it
Yes, we ate it
Like I told you, I'm Satoshi's younger brother, Enoki Masaru
And she's...
I'm Yamamoto
Oh, Yamamoto san's wife...
And the one who wanted to walk back before...
He s Kai san, Kai Minoru
And the one outside is Mizuhara Atsushi
I think his sister was here...
Can you tell?
Mizuhara san's brother?
Yes
I'm gonna go out
What, now?
Right back...
It's getting dark
Be fine...
It s dangerous...
Wait
Take this
Thanks, be right back!
OK
We're getting, we're
being contaminated,
in our everyday lives and by the environment, but...
But isn't that what life... does to people?
But don't you see, that s your position
But you start to see the pollution, once you really go there
It's because you haven't truly opened yourself, nobody has
But that s life, isn't it?
Don't you see,
you have to open yourself, grasp the truth and then live
It's not about not living, of course we live, we eat food and...
So when I m there, I engage in serious practice
What about Takuya?
We take him along I can teach him everything over
First you open yourself
...that's our mantra
Once you open yourself, it comes out from a deeper place
If you practiced there, you'd discover it
It s inside of you The truth is
Let's go... C'mon...
So let's go and then we can come back here again
And talk it over again... OK?
I m... I m happy as I am
You're different now
We used to talk about all this when we were students
Why d you have to become this way?
Become so different?
We used to be more serious
About the truth
About what real education is
There's real education there
They've put me in charge of education there
Let's work together
Hey
Go, go, go!
Can I go pee?
The bathroom? Sure
Your arms...
It's kind of a waste, though, isn't it?
All your medical studies
You've only got 2 years left, right? You can still do it after that
I can continue studying medicine in the Group
And actually I can practice more fundamental healing there
Fundamental? What's that?
Western medicine only heals the human body, right?
Huh... really?
Why, of course But...
What I want... is to spend my whole life,
studying techniques of healing the human soul
For real! The soul!
Well, I mean, the thing is...
They say the healthy soul resides in a healthy body, you need exercise!
You always ridicule my ideas
I mean, it's interesting and all, but,
I think it's fine
You know, for me, I can only see and believe in my reality
It's fine that people like you exist, we can t all be the same
Well, it's fine that people like you exist, too
Yup It comes down to that
What's this "Cypress" about?
The thing about cypress...
I mean, wow!
It's not just a matter of finishing the course work
I'm always good at that
Popsicle s melting
What?
You want it?
Popsicles... still upset your stomach?
Why'd you buy it, then?
Still super-sensitive, huh
Did you ever learn to swim? Learn to swim?
At the pool...
I broke into a cold sweat just looking at the water
Dad used to throw you into the pool, didn't he?
And you never even tried to help me either, like that time...
Really?
Car coming
But the statute of limitation's up
I forgive you both You and Dad
We part here, then
Oh...
I plan to leave the family officially tomorrow
With Dad s memorial service over, it s time for me to go
I won't be seeing you again for a long time
Leave the family...
Your hand's sticky from the popsicle
Come every year?
No, not every year
My first time back...
Your name?
Me?
Atsushi
Her brother?
Yes
What was my sister like?
She was a quiet person
What do you do?
I work in a flower shop
You got along?
But then everyone who lived here got along...
...well
Have you ever gone in?
Sure
No, how far?
Pretty far over, actually
You mean all the way over... to the other side?
I don't believe it!
I have!
All the guys have
I don t believe you...
No, it's...
But I've been here longer
But we really have
When did you go?
Like when just the guys came here and swam
Why just the guys?
Why? Once in awhile, just the guys...
I've even shouted here
Feels super great
It echoes
No...
Really, really
Amazing, huh?
Where you going?
