The truth is I...
killed...
someone...
Stop!
Hello...?
Please hold on...
In the end...
I'm glad I could hear your voice.
Are you doing okay?
You've come back.
Where are you now?
Sorry...
Hey!
What's wrong? Yuki-chan!!
Hang in there!
What did you do?
Come on, hang in there!!
Yuki!!!
A Million Stars Falling from the Sky
Episode 8
Here.
Thank you.
You're conscious?
Do you want some tea?
The doctor said you can drink if you want.
All right!
Kan-chan, who is a tea master, will make tea for you.
Oh, Kan-chan is me.
You should rest.
Hey...
Huh?
I've been wanting to ask...
What about?
What's your name?
Me?
Everyone calls you Kan-chan.
I'm Kanzo.
One of 3 brothers, all guys.
From the oldest, Shinzo, Jinzo, Kanzo. (These words can mean "heart", "kidney", "liver".)
You must be joking...
I'm kidding.
It's the "kan" from "kanzen" (perfection) and the kanji for "3."
You should try calling me Kan-chan once.
Try saying it. Kan-chan.
Kan-chan...
It's Kan-chan!
It's like calling for a win
in a mahjong game.
That's Kan-chan.
What's wrong?
What's with you?
I understand.
I...
didn't want to die...
I wanted to cry.
Welcome home.
You're still awake?
What was it?
Just something... work-related.
I see.
- Good night. - 'Night.
Hey...
What happened to that bird?
My friend... my friend at work came back,
so I returned it.
Is that so?
Somehow it feels a bit lonely now without it.
Somehow...
Get to sleep early.
- Good night... - Good night.
Everyone.
I'm sorry to have made you so worried.
Let's work together from now on.
Yes.
Okay, let's get to work!
All right!
I've been associated with REVE for a long time.
So I asked them to keep you.
Thanks.
Well...
more than that,
I asked you here today because I have something to tell you.
We talked about it a little before...
We intend to open some chain restaurants across the country,
so I want to discuss that with you.
It's up to you, but...
if you like,
I want to turn over this store to you.
Why?
Because I like you.
Purple sheets...
They say that color looks best with a woman's bare skin.
Really...?
It's tasty, eh?
It's not tasty?
No,
that's not it.
What's wrong?
If only time could stop now...
That's what I'm thinking.
I...
What?
That female student's murder case...
I killed her.
Is that so?
All you say is, "Is that so?"
I understand...
but...
let's wait a while.
Wait for a while.
Because you're in this condition.
After you're better...
until then...
this conversation can wait.
All right?
I'll lend you an umbrella.
Thank you.
Good morning.
Your girlfriend?
No, it's not like that.
You're energetic,
even though it's raining...
Two boxes of zucchini,
one box of tomatoes,
5 endives,
and 5 avocados too...
And this, too, Ryo-san... food for the bird.
Thank you.
Well, I'll come again.
Okay.
- Excuse me. - Thank you.
Do you have a bird?
Well, yeah...
Sorry, sorry!
Sorry!
It's all right.
No, sorry.
I said it's okay.
I'm sorry.
Today...
I have something to seriously ask you.
What?
Money?
Could you please turn yourself in?
Turn myself in?
Yuki-chan...
she committed suicide.
She's dead?
That idiot.
She's alive.
Is that so? It was only an attempt.
I wouldn't let her die.
Turn yourself in.
That University student murder...
you got her to do it.
Are you crazy?
Yuki-chan killed her...
you cleaned up the room.
Nutmeg...
saffron...
exactly as before I dropped them.
The sequence...
You have a strange ability.
You won't forget what you see.
You won't forget after one glance,
like a photograph in your memory bank.
There are people like that sometimes.
I didn't know about it before...
I researched it in books.
That's why
the videos in the student's house
were lined up exactly the same.
Do you think...
you have more power than me?
You don't.
You can't help but
protect yourself always...
thinking that you're special.
Right?
But, you know...
I don't value my life.
I think of myself as a worn-out rag.
Only a person like that can protect other people.
A person who thinks of protecting others is the weakest.
Right?
Isn't that right?
Because...
one would never betray oneself.
But...
people betray others.
What would you do?
If...
you were betrayed by the one
you wanted to protect?
That's all right.
Just having protected
that person...
That...
would be fine.
You...
once met with my sister.
Don't see her again.
Did she say that?
What are you thinking?
I'm asking you what you're thinking?
I heard you, so don't yap at me.
Kan-chan, that girl...
that girl, Yuki, was the criminal, right?
So after she failed to kill herself,
she clearly said she did it.
And that's what I told you.
Only...
leave it alone for a while.
Kan-chan, you're still on active duty.
You're letting a known criminal go.
That shouldn't be allowed, should it?
Now, hold on a minute.
Until she returns to good health...
If you say that,
in the end, no one can be happy.
What do you mean?
It's true, isn't it?
Did Yuko-chan become happy after you took her in?
Some things can be said and others can't!
Kan-chan,
You take on too much that you can't handle alone.
Your kindness makes you take on things you can't handle.
and then you suffer later.
Koto-chan,
it's okay if you want to tell them.
You can tell Chief Osawa, the home office, or whoever.
Do you do this often?
This?
Here...
Do you think I do?
I don't think you do...
I don't either...
Somehow...
I don't think there's anything as happy as this...
as the feeling of youth.
But you went to university, right?
I only studied.
Every single day, I studied.
Electrical stuff?
Right.
So you were serious.
Yeah.
But I think that's all right.
I think that's the way it should be done.
What is it?
How much per gram for this?
I'm not sure...
but it's Kobe beef.
Since you give me such delicious food
for taking care of that bird,
I can take care of it as often as you want.
Then come take care of me.
You know...
You shouldn't say that even if you think that.
Why?
It's seems like a lie.
Really...
Oh, yeah!
Wine.
I brought some wine.
You don't drink, do you?
I'll have some.
I want to drink some.
Don't fall asleep.
I won't.
He fell asleep.
Hey.
You'll catch a cold.
Father!
What is it?
What's wrong?
Are you okay?
It's... it's okay.
Just like this.
I'm here.
A dream...
I had a dream...
a dream of my father being killed.
It's my only memory.
This is me.
This is my mother,
my father.
- Stars. - These are fantastic.
Extraordinary... It's like they're falling toward earth.
One day I want to go there with you.
Really?
That makes me happy.
Where is this place?
I don't know.
I have no idea since I was a child then.
Your mother...
died because of an illness.
Your father died in a traffic accident.
That's what they told me.
They told you?
But...
thinking it over carefully, I'm not sure.
My memories...
they disappeared after the accident.
But possibly,
they were taken away by someone.
Everyone...
Everyone lied to you?
Why?
Because...
they had to lie.
Because of the truth.
Usually, you'd think that.
Could it be...
you went to find that place?
No.
I went to the orphanage where I grew up.
No matter how often I asked the nun, she said it was a traffic accident.
Maybe it was a lie.
Is there a need?
Is there a need to know the truth?
Now...
you're here...
I'm here...
Isn't that enough?
That's good.
But...
it's painful.
Why?
I want to know the truth.
Are you against it?
I don't have a good feeling about it.
But I want to know.
I understand.
Your heart...
I'll protect it.
The investigation team of the Mita student will be reduced?
Until now, there have been no clues, so it can't be helped.
Isn't that right, Kotoko-chan?
Right.
Koto-chan!
I'm sorry.
You didn't say anything.
Concerning that girl...
I'll leave Yuki-chan to you.
Come find me if there's anything
you need me for.
Thank you.
Koto-chan...
I'm counting on you.
I know.
All right, is that all your things?
I'm sorry.
Don't worry about it.
I'm back.
Oh, Brother. You're home already.
Can we talk for a while?
What is it?
You've been coming home late recently.
What? It's because of work.
How's it going with Kusaka?
I'm asking you how it's going?
I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you.
It doesn't seem to be working.
What?
What did you say?
So what you mean is...
The light at the front door is flickering
and it's "not working," so change it?
That's not what I'm saying.
Brother, you're misinterpreting what I'm saying.
You're with that guy?
What?
What...
This guy!
That's the restaurant, REVE,
that that guy works in!
Wait. Look carefully.
This is June, isn't it?
It was in the past,
and this is my job.
You never met?
We didn't meet.
What about the bird?
That bird is that man's, isn't it?
What do you mean "man"?
That guy.
He...
If you go out with him,
I don't know what he'll do to you!
He never did anything to me!
I...
I believe in him.
You're nuts!
What do you think happened to Miwa-chan and Yuki-chan,
who both went out with him!
Let me go! Leave me alone.
I'm not a kid anymore, leave me alone.
What did you say? Wait!
You...!
You...!!
Who was the one who brought you up?
Who?
Who?!
You're condescending!
Brother, you should find someone you like and get married quick.
Don't keep suffocating me
by saying it's all for my own good!
Is that so?
You...
all along...
that's what you've been thinking?
Yes!
Yuko-san, there's a guest looking for you.
Yes, thank you.
I want you to tell Ryo
to turn himself in.
I'm mentally prepared.
I don't know what's going on.
Why don't you tell him directly?
I have a deal with Kan-chan... your brother.
I won't see Ryo again.
Is that so?
Are you seeing my brother?
Yes.
I'll come back immediately.
I'm sorry,
I'm working now.
Hey.
Ryo is the devil.
He'll never love anyone.
Thank you
for your advice.
Everyone says...
don't trust you.
Everyone...
Want to eat a meat bun? It's still warm.
I don't want it.
Going in?
I hate these troublesome things.
- Going in? - I'm not going in.
I got it.
You're the same as those other women after all.
It feels nice.
Did you think I would jump?
I said I wouldn't die.
Like a cockroach, surviving even if the world ends.
I was scared.
Sorry...
Are you testing me?
The door was locked...
I didn't know what to do.
I'm on your side.
Even if the whole world sees you as an enemy,
I'm on your side.
I'm back.
Yuko?
You can just stay there.
Could you listen to me a moment?
I'm sorry about the last time.
But... Yuko...
I...
What should I say?
I don't even know...
But, you know...
after Dad and Mom died,
I always lived
thinking only about you.
Maybe you think this is patronizing,
or old-fashioned, but...
just...
just a little...
Could you please understand
how I feel?
I hope
you won't see that guy anymore.
Come here.
I won't hold you again.
Why?
Because I don't want to be unfaithful.
Are you serious?
All we've talked about will be lost.
As you wish.
Could it be that your blood is red too?
I thought surely
it was just a heart
full of immovable emptiness and wild ambition.
Are you happy?
Without any effort,
the innocent Miss Miwa
and that stupid brother of mine...
you cheated and killed them.
Sorry to have bothered you.
Hey...
Don't think you can enter that world.
That world?
Where
there's things like love...
a pure world.
You're completely dirty.
All right!
This udon is best with sukiyaki.
All right, everything's ready.
Hello.
Brother, it's Yuko.
It's your favorite today, sukiyaki.
Come back quickly.
Brother, I'm sorry.
I have to work overtime today.
Is that so?
Can't be helped.
Because it's work.
Then be careful coming home.
I'm sorry.
It doesn't matter.
I guess I'll eat alone.
That girl forgot to take her cell phone again.
What an idiot.
It's Ryo.
I think I'll be a little late for 9 o'clock.
But we should be in time for the movie.
Wait for me in front of the theater.
It's called Cinema VITA.
What the hell, old man!
Didn't I tell you not to see Yuko again?
The show is going to start soon.
It hurts.
