I set my sights far away…
Over and over, I call out your name…
Beyond time and the heavens…
I want to say I’m protecting you…
Now, a miracle is about to be created upon this planet.

Bringing cold stars to the east city Tsumetai hoshi wo furaseta
Quietly and sadly Kanashii kimi wa hitori de shizuka ni
You hum my favorite song Atashi no daisuki na uta wo kuchizusamu

Into the deep darkness Daremo tasukete kurenai
With love alone, I will go Atashi nara itoshisa dake de
No matter where you are Donna basho e demo

So, in a loud voice Dakara ooki na koe de
Call out my name again and again Nandomo atashi no namae wo yonde
Episode 10: The Flickering Genes
Oshima
Don’t worry?
But look at the stories in all the magazines!
Is the laboratory really safe?
Tell me, dear!
Uh, Tokio.
Uh, your father came home to change a while ago.
Would you like to have breakfast together?
Well? Tokio?!
He’s still in high school.
Where was he all night long?
You don’t know?
Nevermind me. I wish you’d just keep him in line!
I’m going out!
How am I supposed to approach him about this?
Please take a look here.
The trees in this area have clearly changed color.
There are even some that have decomposed.
Based on reports of bacterial contamination… The Nightmare of Bacterial lnfection!
…in the magazines… Confronting Microbiological Research Lab!
…we talked to the man in charge of Bio Alpha Laboratories.
General Manager of Administration Bio Alpha Laboratories, lnc. Akio Oshima
Oshima?
I don’t understand why we are being accused of this. General Manager of Administration Akio Oshima
I don’t understand why we are being accused of this.
We have absolutely nothing…
…to do with the problem of trees dying in the area.
Tokio…!
This laboratory is fully equipped with safety systems…
…to ensure that we won’t be…
– Why, Tokio? – …accused of another…
Tokio, Tokio, huh?
Chris, is Tokio going to be in some kind of danger?
Well?
What have you seen so far?
There you go again.
Why can’t you just be straight with me?
Nevermind.
I better get in touch with Tokio.
I guess it’s no use.
What do you mean, “no use?”
I guess you won’t know until the world is destroyed.
I’m going to save Tokio…
…even if I have to do it myself!
Where are you now?
Ju-Juna…?
Where are you?
Uh, well, I’m at home.
Well, actually, I…
Does your father work at a place called Bio Alpha Laboratories?
Huh?
Well?
Sure, he works there.
So, that man IS Tokio’s…
Maybe I can do something about this now.
Hey, what’s the matter?
Tokio, listen up.
Don’t leave your house today.
See ya.
Huh? W-Wait a minute.
What the heck was that?
Why is it always like this?
Out shopping, huh?
Bio Alpha Laboratory’s secret experiment on a deadly bacteria
That’s why she was asking about Dad.
Don’t tell me she’s…
I’m Oshima.
Nice to meet you.
I’m Juna Ariyoshi, a friend of Tokio’s.
It’s dangerous here. Everyone has to evacuate.
It’s true! Please believe me!
What did my son tell you?
I didn’t come here because Tokio asked me to.
I don’t know what you’re talking about.
In any case, there’s no danger here.
Tokio!
Tokio.
I told you not to leave your house!
What’s this article?
Do you know about dioxins?
Uh, yes.
It’s a deadly toxin used as a defoliating agent during the Vietnam War.
There is something that can break down…
…that dioxin and make it harmless.
What do you think it is?
Mushrooms.
Mushrooms?
For example, a decomposing type of bacteria in mushrooms…
…has the ability to eliminate the dioxin.
The bacteria we have here is of that type.
Don’t listen to him, Juna!
They’re using genetic engineering…
…in order to create some kind of dangerous bacteria!
Are you talking about PDB?
PDB…?
It’s short for Petrochemical Decomposition Bacteria.
It decomposes anything made with petrochemicals.
So, what’s so dangerous about that?
Uh…
It’s just a second-hand rumor.
But…
…doesn’t genetic engineering…
…result in new life forms that don’t exist naturally?
There were always…
…micro-organisms in nature capable of breaking down petroleum.
All we’re trying to do is create bacteria…
…through genetic engineering that can be used to deal with…
…the full range of petrochemical substances.
But, Juna.
It says they have neither the manpower nor…
…the facilities to carry out that work.
They say that without even checking.
All the media is interested in…
…is finding stories that stir up public debate.
There are no problems with our facilities.
But…
…what if something unexpected were to happen here?
That’s right!
Are you going to be able to take responsibility?!
Responsibility?!
Look, I just bought you a new motorcycle the other day!
What?!
What?
Aren’t you satisfied with the motorcycle?
You’re always like that!
I think I give you plenty of allowance money.
Always money, huh?
Why don’t you work, then?
Work?
You can’t even keep a part-time job.
I had to quit, thanks to your job transfer.
You always blame others.
How many times did we move and I change schools?
There was no way to avoid it.
Work is important!
You hardly ever came home from work.
…and left Mom and I alone.
It’s because I worked much harder than others…
…so that you can have such a lifestyle!
You just figured that giving me things…
…was all you had to do. Fathers’ School Visiting Day Notice
It’s because you didn’t realize that, that Mom took off!
If you’re going to complain like that…
…maybe you should’ve gone with her!
I think you should go home, Tokio.
I’m going to try talking to your father again.
Is that monster going to attack this place?
Huh?!
I thought so…
So, I guess I’m in the way.
That’s not it.
I mean, I don’t have the power of Chris, after all.
I’ll just get in the way.
No.
I’m not good enough no matter what I do.
That’s not so, Tokio.
I never thought the decomposition rate of the PDB…
…would double like that in an instant.
What genes did you incorporate into it this time?
What do you think?
Some virus again?
The cancer gene BTS1.
A cancer gene?!
Are you sure that’s safe?
Everyone was very impressed with you on TV today.
They thought you handled the media quite nicely.
We’ll be counting on you again.
It’s true.
I just didn’t want to drag you into it.
That’s all it is.
Even so…
…I might not be the man best suited to you.
I’m never any help to you when you need me the most.
Tokio…
I can’t even relate to my own father.
That’s because you don’t reach him.
Your voice doesn’t reach your father.
No, even his voice doesn’t reach you.
What about you?
Did your voice…
…reach your father?
I guess it didn’t.
I guess I’m not one to talk.
A Raaja!
What?!
Calm down!
Let’s get our decontamination suits!
You go and check on Labs Two and Three!
Y-Yes, sir!
Stay away!
I don’t want to fight you anymore!
Juna!
Tokio!
Tokio, get out of here quick!
How can you expect me to run away by myself?!
Don’t worry about your father!
I’ll rescue him!
Am I that useless…?
Hurry!
No!
Don’t go in there!
Ashura!
I have no choice!
Dad!
Where are you?!
Dad!
Tokio!
Excuse me!
Where’s Mr. Oshima?!
Who are you?!
You shouldn’t be here!
Just tell me!
He’s in Lab One, straight that way and to the left.
Right!
Hey!
Now where…?
Dad!
What?!
What are you doing?!
Some monster is attacking this place!
Monster?!
Stop talking nonsense! Just get out of here!
It’s dangerous here!
So, it is dangerous here!
What do you think danger is?!
Do you think we can beat the competition without taking risks?!
Competition?
What are you talking about?
At this rate, even your life is…
Tokio…
Don’t be stupid!
How much do you think we have invested in this project?!
Money, money, money!
No!
I have a responsibility to the project and the company!
Forget about the company!
Isn’t your responsibility right now to protect people?
You still despise me because of what happened to your mother?!
That’s not it.
You just want to get back at me!
I said that’s not it!
You want to get back at me!
That’s not it!
What is this…?
Red and red.
Blue and blue.
Are these the colors of emotions?
They’re the same.
Both Tokio and his father’s emotions…
…are moving together.
But then, why…?
But why don’t the words get through?
Why can’t you believe me even a bit?!
I’ve done what I could!
Why are you so unsatisfied?!
It wasn’t just Tokio…
…even his father was…
That’s why…
Why won’t you listen to me?
And you call yourself my father?!
No.
You are father and son.
Juna!
What?
Your emotions are exactly the same.
They’re a match.
A match?
My father and I?
And not just feelings.
It is all the same.
When your father was a child, just like you…
…his father bought him all kinds of things.
Dad got stuff, too?
You must have been lonely with just that.
Lonely?
That is the proof of how much my father loved me.
The things he bought me were what bonded father to son.
That’s why I…
Things are not the same as a bond!
Tokio…
Let’s go!
Raaja!
Now, hurry!
The PDB!
This isn’t the time for that!
Let go!
Tokio!
Come on, Tokio!
What are you doing?!
Help, Tokio!
Tokio!
Oh, no!
I’m sorry.
Tokio…
– Tokio, you should be lying still. – Juna, I…?
Right, what happened to Dad?
Uh, last night…
Tokio…
It seems I won’t be able to return home for a while.
Take care of Mizuho for me.
You think my dad and I…
…are alike?
Due to an accident at Bio Alpha Laboratories…
…there is a danger of contamination in the immediate area.
As such, we request the Ministry surveys the area right away.
Yes, our firm’s announcements in the past have been false.
I will be providing you with detailed documents soon.
