Grandpa.
Can you talk properly?
How is Grandfather?
Regarding this,
tonight is the critical point.
I see... That's not good.
Who are you?
Is he Black Jack?
Stop it.
I'm sorry to come at this late hour.
The poor soul...
There's a way you can keep him alive.
Would you be interested?
This might last me three days.
Yamada!
Slit...slit...slit away!!
You can't hide from me.
Hello. The weather is nice today.
Turtle?
Turtle gives you energy.
Jami keeps me up at nights.
Can you understand?
Keep the fire going, Darling.
Sure, Haru!
We'll eat the turtle... and head off to happiness.
Yamada!
I'll pay the rent tomorrow. when I hit the Australian lottery.
Mr. Ueda, what are you doing here?
Have a seat.
You didn't answer my question.
The landlady invited me to a "turtle" party.
She was worried about the backrent, so I took care of it.
How unusually nice of you!
Why are you speaking from behind the panel?
We have to help each other in times of need.
I took in the laundry for you.
What are you up to?
Have you heard of this story?
No! I don't want to hear it!
A lad bought a turtle that lives 10.000 years.
I don't want to hear it!
But it died the day after he bought it.
Do you know why?
He ate it?
It was the end of the turtle's lifespan.
It was the turtles 10.000th birthday.
I see.
So who was helping track of the turtle's age?
Forget the details of it.
There is only one lesson to learn from this.
That is, death is inevitable.
But there's a place where the people don't die.
They don't die?
Have you heard of Kyokuniya Bookstores?
They're the biggest in Japan. But I've never shopped in there.
I bet you don't read any books.
And?
So where are these people who don't die.
The president of Kyokuniya came to my research lab yesterday.
"Kyo(today) Ashita(tomorrow)"?
The name is Kyo Asuka.
Pardon my rudeness.
This is just a form of greeting.
As return, please accept this.
Professor. Have you heard of the "Never Die" Old Folks' Home?
How could there ever have a "Never Die" Old Folks' Home?
At that old folks home...
You don't die?
Yes, never.
My 70-year-old grandmother who heard of that rumor...
insists on going there.
But the admission fee is at least one billion yen.
One billon yen...
We have assets totalling four billion yen, so...
It's not an amount that we can't pay.
But one billion yen is a lot to the commoner.
I guess.
I want you to investigate if it's really true or not.
Unfortunately, I am...
I'll reward you, of course.
I'll sell your four books on our first floor center section
and have an "Ueda Jiro Fair." And I'll grandly promote it.
Ueda Jiro FAIR?
Ueda Jiro HAIR?
It's FAIR!
So you agreed to it?
What are you doing?
Eternal youth and immortality are every man's dream.
Stop gripping it.
here is research being done everywhere.
Stop stretching it.
"Teromea"...
"Nanotekunology" (nanotechnology)...
"Nante okute no rojin" (what a slow elderly)?
"Hito genomu keikaku" (human genome planning).
"Nanige ni mukeikaku" (no planning at all)?
Will you listen to me?
To investigate and prove what is even the obvious...
That is what science is all about.
It's something you'll never understand.
You just want to have the Ueda Jiro HAIR.
So I went to visit that old folks’ home.
I'm Director Manda Kametaro.
I'm Professor Ueda of Nihon Kagaku Gijutsu U.
I'll be a famous professor in five years.
Let me show you around.
Please leave the door behind.
Please take your shoes off.
A "Never Die Old Folks' Home"?
The police detectives were here the other day about that.
Police detectives?
We have strict health management policies.
Healthy diet.
Moderate exercise.
We even have a hot spring on our premises.
Hot spring?
"Zomo hot spring"?
It's read "Masumo hot spring."
If you soak in it for three months, it'll restore the dead
hair on your body.
A part of it is missing. It should be "three times."
If you soak in it for three months, you'll get swollen.
I highly doubt anyone would soak in it for three months.
Our hot spring has the effect of rejuvenating people.
That's probably how that rumor started.
So it was a mere rumor.
There's no such thing as eternal life.
Hey, what are you eating?
Doesn't it bring back memories?
But I heard a strange comment as I continued to investigate.
Old man Furukawa really died.
But his family claims that he's living in good health
at that old folks' home.
He died, but is alive? Are you sure?
Of course I'm sure.
I was at his deathbed.
I'm not going to live much longer.
Please let me touch your breasts before I die...
A mature old man asked to touch her breasts as his
last dying wish.
Doesn't it make a flat-breasted woman like you jealous?
He's just a dirty old man.
So what happened after that?
Are you getting interested?
Not at all.
So I went to that old folks' home again.
To visit that boob-grabbing old man.
As a last wish in this world. I admit grabbing it.
It reminded me of the Chichibu Mountains that I played on
when I was a child.
She had very big breasts.
I heard you died right after.
Yes. I died.
Died?
But the Sensei revived me.
He revived you?
Ms. Okuma is looking for someone to play the Twister game with her.
I'd better go.
Ms. Okuma is my schoolmate.
I'm Asst. Director Senda Tsurujiro.
I'm Professor Ueda Jiro with the Nihon Kagaku Gijutsu U.
Please don't repeat what you just heard.
About him being revived?
It's all right, Asst. Director.
Sensei!
We can't fool him any longer.
Please forgive me for the other day.
The rumor is actually true.
To be accurate, it's not that the person won't die.
We're actually reviving dead people.
We're reviving the dead with this Sensei's power.
I'm Akachi. I've read all your books, Dr. Ueda.
My "Donto Koi" books?
Yes, of course.
Is that right?
All big phenomenons are just exaggerated.
That's a great opening line.
I like that line too.
And it reads on as follows:
"Don't be afraid of phenomenons."
However, Dr. Ueda...
Yes?
Pardon my rudeness, but...
There exist strange powers that cannot be explained by science.
Are you saying that you can really revive the dead?
Not just human beings.
l can reinstate anything back to what it was.
Reinstate anything back?
But the greatest joy comes when you revive a person.
When they are revived, they all say with a smile...
"I feel like I've been reborn."
That's very suspicious.
So I secretly followed them.
Sensei! Help!
What's the matter?
I couldn't suppress my desire to drink Matsumoto's beer.
You drank his beer, huh.
I have to do something before he returns from the bathroom.
Don't worry.
Watch this.
Go back to what it was.
I can count on you after all!
Maybe he just stirred it around.
He didn't touch it. He had his hands above the cup.
He must've added the salt or sugar hidden in his palm.
Then it'll get foamy and it'll appear as if it filled up.
I figured that. So I asked to go back to reinvestigate.
Handle it on your own then.
Dr. Ueda!
The water has started boiling.
I'll be adding the turtle stock in.
Turtle stock?
My turtle... isn't here.
We're going to have a delicious turtle pot dish, thanks to you.
What did you do to my turtle?
I gave it to her as rent.
Turtle pot dish!
Return my turtle!
Please return it to me. I have no friends.
We're here.
I'm glad you're alive.
I brought you along because you insisted on it.
"Gyo...hi...bito" Old Folks' Home?
It's read as "Rojin" Old Folks' Home.
Oh. I see. How confusing!
Visiting hours is from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.?
How short!
My, my, it's Dr. Ueda.
I have an appointment with Akachi-sensei at 2:00 p.m.
Who is she.
My third assistant, Yamada.
She loves old men so she wanted to come along.
Old men lover, Yamada?
I don't really...
Turtle, turtle, turtle...
I love old men!
Please follow me.
Take off your shoes!
Where's the shoe box?
Just leave them there.
This place has no shoe box?
Please hurry! The Sensei will be speaking shortly.
I'm sorry.
Hello, everyone.
Usagi oishi...
What is it?
Kano Yama...
You don't have full breasts.
You're terrible to disappoint an old man with your flat breasts.
Thank you for waiting.
Everyone, let's welcome the Sensei with a big cheer.
Akachi-sensei!
I'm Akachi Yoji. Hello!
Great Master...Great Master....
That's too much spirit!
I can reinstate anything back to its original condition.
Sounds fake to me.
Even that.
I'm sorry. It's going to be scary... but don't worry.
I'm scared!
Quiet!
Dr. Ueda.
Hold on to this tightly.
Will this do?
Bravo!
He's going to start.
Return it to its original condition.
Welcome back.
Dr. Ueda, please take out that piece I gave you.
That was nanotechnology.
There were innumerable molecular robots in the box...
That's just a "surikae" (substitute) magic trick.
He switched the piece, not the cat figurine.
It was a piece from a different cat figurine.
There was probably another layer to the box.
The cat figurine with the missing piece is hidden in it.
He crushes a cat figurine just like it in front of us.
That's when he switched the piece he put on the side
and gave it to you.
Hold on to this tightly.
I knew it. Just as i suspected.
So the piece should fit perfectly!
You're so easy to fool!
Ueda?
Ueda!
Do you want to try it too?
You're a fast learner.
I've even mastered karate by computer lessons.
You also doing very well.
Excuse me...
Are you "Flat-Breast" Yamada?
The "Flat-Breast" is uncalled-for.
Yoji's power is real.
Yoji?
Akachi Yoji. My son.
"Daifuku" mochi?
It's my favorite.
It's delicious.
I'll have some.
Isn't it good.
The first dead person he revived...
...was me.
A ship sank five years ago.
Everyone on board died.
Some bodies weren't found.
Akachi Shigezo... That's me.
My body drifted to port the day after the accident.
For three days after that, Yoji held my body and
cried. "Go back."
Wouldn't your body rot?
Will you listen!
I hear his voice in the darkness.
Go back...
Go back!
On the morning of the fourth day...
I was revived.
I opened my eyes.
I am here today... because of him.
He's not a bad person who can deceive others.
Please believe him.
Father.
There you are.
Excuse me.
Father... I told you not to eat too much sweet stuff.
You're old already. You have to be careful.
He caught me.
Be careful? When he can be revived?
Persimmons!
Didn't you crave for them?
Thanks!
Wait. I'll wash one for you.
Persimmons...
Persimmon tree.
A persimmon tree at our old house...
Yoji...
There was no persimmon tree.
It was a fig tree.
Don't force yourself to remember.
Are those police detectives still here?
They're not leaving yet.
What a problem.
I use to be an uncontrollable delinquent.
So I use to make my father grieve.
When he was in that ship accident, I deeply regretted it.
My father had a small clock business.
He would handle tiny parts every day.
He raised me single-handedly.
But I didn't do anything filial for him.
If he died like that, I would have been damned for life.
With that in mind, I held his body for three full days.
Then he came back to life on the fourth day?
You probably find that hard to believe.
But ever since that accident, he lost his memory.
I tried to develop the strange power within me.
I vowed to help him regain his memory someday.
I did something awful!
What happened?
I was playing Twister with old Lady Okubo.
Then she got upset with me for touching her breasts.
That's awful.
What's the big deal?
If I can't play Twister with her anymore...
There's no meaning in my life.
Don't worry.
I'll fix things for you.
Can you do that too?
Right leg on blue.
I'm impressed.
Well, I'm a professor.
Ueda, what are you doing?
Shut up! I'm learning about life.
Dr. Ueda, your right leg is out.
I'm not going to play Twister with you again. Or talk to you!
Do you hear that? I'm at a complete loss.
Now, now, Grandma. Please get in a better mood.
It's hard to mend a broken relationship.
I don't want it mended.
Don't say that.
Will you look at this?
Tie together.
It's severed. Just like the two of you.
But watch further.
Watch carefully.
Go back to how it was.
Even a cut rope can be reinstated.
So I'm sure your relationship can be mended too.
Let's shake hands.
Grandma.
Go back to how it was.
Do you want to go to the Chichibu Mountains to chase
after the hares?
Will you chase after me?
Of course.
I'm glad!
Let's sing Grandpa Furukawa's favorite song.
"Usagi oishi kano yama...
What's with them?
His power can be useful.
That's just another magic trick.
A restoration of a rope to its former state.
It's a very basic trick.
Watch this.
Do you always carry that around?
I'm a first-class magician.
He made it seem as if he cut it in the center.
But he actually cut the ends.
I'll cut here.
Hold this.
Then you'll get a loop here.
You tie it once.
And you bring this end and this end together.
Then you hide the cut ends in your hand.
I knew that all along.
Then say so earlier.
I'm not referring about this.
I mean, he is really sincerely to serve the old folks here.
But a fraud is still a fraud.
No matter, how sincerely he can be.
Are you still doubting the Sensei's power?
I said nothing of the sort.
The person who said it is...
Him.
If you are so suspicious...
We'll show you his real power.
Real power?
Please go to the center courtyard.
We'll shoot someone here and have the Sensei revive him.
Is that all right, Sensei?
Fine. I'm ready.
Shoot her.
Why me, Ueda?
Nurture your sense of curiosity.
If you die, I'll write about you in my book.
The Flat-Breasted Yamada's Tragic Tale of Bravery.
I will even give you half the profits.
What good is the money if I'm dead?
What are you going to do?
Yamada, don't be afraid.
Dying once is a wonderful and precious experience.
You heard the Director.
Here I go.
Visiting hours are almost over. Excuse me.
Please believe in my son.
What?
My son's power is real.
Shoot me!
The Sensei revived me once.
I want to experience that refreshing feeling again.
Is that wrong?
You're my man, after all!
Everyone! Let’s applaud him for his courage!
Let's ask him to be the target then!
Thank you!
I'm saved.
Shoot me!
Here I go, Mr. Furukawa.
Will he really be all right?
Don't worry.
I'll die next.
As long as Sensei is here. we need not fear death!
If we can be revived over and over again,
then death becomes nothing more than a dream!
I'll see you again, everyone.
Sensei, please revive them.
All right.
Go back to life...
He came back to life.
I feel reborn.
I'd better take a bath and wash up.
I got the bullet out too.
I'll keep it as a souvenir.
I've seen through your evil deeds.
Sensei, please revive him too.
Sure, right away.
What was that sound?
What happened here?
Yabe?
What are you doing here?
Sensei, you're here too.
What're you doing here?
This place is rumored to be a "Never Die" old folks' home.
So the police are investigating into it.
So you're the detectives they were talking about.
And we finally solved the mystery behind it.
You did?
It's the hot spring.
There's a hot spring called "Zomo" here.
It's called "Masumo."
It's effective for rheumatism exhaustion and hair growth.
And the 11 p.m. bunnies...
It's pure paradise.
You just can't die in it.
If you soak in it for three MONTHS, then the dead hair
will be restored. Not that it matters to me though.
It's supposed to read. "three TIMES."
What was that sound?
What happened here?
He committed suicide. He shot himself in the heart.
It's a gunshot wound to the heart!
He could bleed to death!
Call an ambulance!
Please wait!
The Sensei was just about to revive him.
Revive him?
There's no need to call for an ambulance.
I see. Go ahead.
Don't be fooled. They're talking nonsense here.
It's not nonsense. I'll be sure to revive him.
Please watch me.
Okay.
Yabe, stop him!
Why?
Tokyo University graduate!
Don't touch the body.
Step back.
Why? If I don't act quickly, he will...
No!
Step away from the body!
Wait! Please let me save him!
I can still save him!
Stop! Don't take him away!
I will revive him!
Sensei, what's going on?
It's a strange situation.
Why did you stop him? He might really die.
It’s the opposite.
You'll see what I mean.
Ueda, go to the hospital with them.
Yabe, change immediately.
Hurry!
Will you get real? How can a dead person come back to life?
Let me make something clear.
What?
If the Asst. Director dies because of this...
It'll be your fault.
What?
Had you left him to me, he'd have been saved without fail.
But you forcefully put him on the ambulance.
What do you expect? He shot himself in the heart.
I told you that I'd bring him back to life!
I'm telling you that it's impossible!
Stop making me repeat the same thing!
Yabe, come.
Wait here.
I, the Tokyo University graduate, will interrogate.
What is it?
Don't worry. That Asst. Director won't die.
What?
He'll come back as if nothing had happened.
What do you mean?
That's when their lies will be exposed.
Something fishy with the four of them.
They're FISHES?
FISHY.
The Director. Asst. Director. Akachi, and old man Furukawa
are working together.
That's the only explanation for all of this.
Explain it to me.
The shots fired were blanks.
The bullet he took out was already in his hand.
They only pretended to be shot an dead.
It was all just a performance.
Performance?
The Director and Akachi desperately tried to stop
the ambulance from taking him. And that's my proof.
If he goes to the hospital, they will be exposed as frauds.
Why through all the trouble?
To deceive Ueda and me.
So that Grandma Kyokuniya will come here.
Who's that?
She's worth four billion yen.
Four billion yen?
Hello?
Sensei? How are things there?
Things are confusing on this side.
The Asst. Director died... just now.
He died?
All right, I'll talk to you later.
Did he die?
Your theory was wrong!
If they were in cahoots, he wouldn't have really died!
I don't believe it.
The Asst. Director died?
How cruel!
I told you to leave it to Sensei!
Yoji!
Father! I could've saved him!
It's your fault.
You killed him!
You are murderers!
Wait a minute.
You are murderers!
Murderers!
I'm Ueda Jiro, a very gentle professor with
the Nihon Kagaku Gijutsu University.
He's just a big coward.
Per the request of the President of Kyokuniya.
I took my flat-breasted third assistant, Yamada,
to investigate on the "Never Die" Old Folks' Home.
What we found there was...
I'm Akachi Yoji.
I'm able to reinstate anything back to its origin condition.
He reinstated things, one after another.
I, the genius physicist, saw through his every trick!
It wasn't you!
We'll show you his real power.
The Asst. Director, Senda, shot an old man, then
shot himself after that.
Akachi first revived the old man.
I've seen through your evil deeds.
Thinking that they were just putting on an act,
I stopped Akachi from doing his revival performance,
and sent Senda to the hospital.
You killed the Asst. Director!
You are murderers!
Wait a minute.
You are murderers!
Murderers!
All right!
Let's say that we are murderers...
Hey!
Aren't you able to revive the dead?
Then go to the hospital and revive him.
That's smart!
Yamada is right!
If you really have the power, then go to the hospital!
If you can revive a person who's been confirmed dead,
then I will...
What will you do?
I will apologize... and do a handstand.
Can you do a handstand?
Yes, I can.
Can you really?
Do a belly dance too.
Director, bring the car around.
Please wait, Sensei.
Don't do it just to please them.
They are criminals who killed our comrade.
They should bear the sin of it for life.
What are you saying?
Are you going to abandon your comrade?
Abandon him?
If he goes, won't the Asst. Director be saved?
I take those words...!
Did I give you something?
So you believe in his powers!
That's true!
Don't say anything unnecessary!
It just blurted out by accident.
I understand.
The Director is absolutely right.
Humans should repent or their crimes.
I knew it!
You just can't do it.
Reviving the dead?
I sense danger.
I revived all the elderly in this room.
I don't need your approval.
All that matters to me is that they believe in me!
I wouldn't be condemned for reviving people and bringing
joy to them!
Senda died, after all.
"You'll see what I mean"?
"It's the opposite"?
This is the information that I got from Mr. Yabe.
What do you think it is?
Information you got from Yabe.
That's not it! Take a look.
Oya Masao. International Travel Service.
Honorary Chairman... worth 7.854 billion yen.
Kanemochi Teruzo. Omuta Kussaku World Consulting.
5.139 billion yen in assets.
What's this.
That's the list of names and total assets of the elderly
that applied for admission into that home.
They are all super wealthy.
Rojin Old Folks' Home was run by Director Manda and
Asst. Director Senda, and was on the verge of bankruptcy
about five years ago.
Then Akachi appeared and joined their management.
Akachi had revived his father that died from the ship accident.
So he gained fame in the small port town as one who is able
to reinstate anything back to its original condition.
Akachi Shigezo... that's me.
Akachi was the one that approached them.
A sea bream...
Go back to life.
Wonderful!
Will you use my powers?
With Akachi on board, the home gained the reputation as the
"Never Die" Old Folks' Home.
Despite the huge admission fee of one billion yen...
There was an overflow of applicants to enter the home.
Ten of them will be...
Ten billion yen.
That's an outrageous profit!
But all the elderly listed there were denied admission.
Why?
The common factor for all of them is that they are healthy.
So what kind of elderly were admitted?
Sickly elderly that didn't have much longer to live.
After they were admitted, they became unbelievably healthy and
are living long.
He may really possess the power to revive the dead.
I doubt that.
He revived a dead person in front of us, didn't he!
How else do you explain it!
Someone used that performance to kill the Asst. Director.
Senda thought the second shot would be blank too.
That is why he unhesitantly pointed the rifle at himself
and shot himself.
But there was a real bullet in the second shot.
Who would do such a thing?
Someone who had a grudge against him...
or would benefit from his death...
put the real bullet in.
I was just about to say that.
Ueda's research lab.
The late Senda loved gambling and was deep in debt.
Debt?
We think he committed suicide because of his debt problem.
Will you hold on for a second?
Stop swimming in the bath!
Please pass that on to Yamada, the fool, too.
I'm disappointed that I can’t arrest her as the murderer.
I thought I was going to die.
How did you get this?
How simple-minded.
That's it, Ueda!
It was his debts that did him in!
Go back...
Dad you alright?
Yoji...
Your right hand had a scar. Am i right?
Last time, you fell from the persimmon tree and injured your hand.
What are you talking, dad?
There was no persimmon tree at our home.
Oh really?
Maybe i remember wrongly...
We can make them say "gyafun" today.
That's impossible.
I've never seen a defeated person say "gyafun" yet.
I'll make him say that.
Welcome.
Hello.
What brings you here today?
I came to see the Director.
Is that fight?
Is something wrong with it?
It stopped working from yesterday,
Shall I take a look at it?
An amateur can't fix it.
My dad's probably the only one in this entire world
who can fix a complex clock like this.
Wasn't he in the clock business before?
Why don't you use our powers to fix it?
"Go back to how it was."
That's something that shouldn't be done on clocks.
Why?
Because it'll reverse time.
That sounds so fake!
"Usagi oishi kano yama...
Would you like to go to the Chichibu Mountains with us?
We're going there to chase after the hares.
I don't want to intrude on your date.
Is it? That's too bad.
They're old but romantic.
How nice.
It must make a virgin like you jealous.
I'll take you to the Director's room.
Are you saying I killed the Asst. Director?
Senda, who loved gambling, as deep in debt.
And he was about to embezzle funds from the old folks' home.
So you used that deceitful performance to kill him.
They're both blanks.
Shoot yourself after you shoot old man Furukawa.
Then our Sensei will take care of the rest.
I understand.
Please be sure to ready that money for me.
Or I'll be financially strapped.
That's the whole story.
We've seen through everything you've done!
Why do you insistently deny his powers?
That's because...
Dr. Ueda, be more open to things.
Then you'll be a happier person.
Give me a break!
You deceive the elderly by telling them that you have
the powers to reinstate anything back to its original condition.
What's so good about that?
If you just can't see things eye to eye with me...
Then I'll give you a special performance.
Special performance?
The "Go Back" Fall Special.
Will you be able to withstand the shock?
What?
What could it be?
Shigezo.
When I see clocks, I get this urge to fiddle with them.
Who kicked my shoes?
Oh, well.
I'II start.
Otemoyan figurine?
Please use those hammers to break up this figurine.
Are you going to reinstate it back to its original condition?
Yes, indeed.
I'll take you on.
Are you really going to do it?
Why don't you do your best?
This is fun!
Are you a kid?
Please join in.
Why don't you do your best?
Why don't you do...
do...do?
Isn't this fun?
This is so fun...
So fun. Feel so good.
This is so fun!
That should do it.
There are still big pieces left. Let's crush them finer.
Why don't you do your best?
He's very thorough.
I'm trying to make you two into happier people.
Can you really restore it back to what it was?
Of course.
I don't want to be falsely accused later for switching
the piece or substituting it.
I'll have the elderly help out.
Please help out.
Don't drag it.
We're trying our best not to.
Please show them that there are no tricks to the panels.
Are you satisfied?
Please surround the crushed Otemoyan with the panels.
Now I can't bring in a substitute for it.
True, you can't bring in a substitute figurine...
I'll start now.
Go back!
Go back to how it was!
He just keep repeating.
Really focus.
Because is special performance.
Go for it! Yoji!
Thank you for your attention.
Everyone, let's take the panels away.
I don't believe what I see!
Stop!
You did well!
That was magnificent!
I saw it.
Saw what?
Otemoyan coming back together.
The crushed pieces started swirling in the air, and
before I knew it, they were I back into place.
Is that true?
What is there to be surprised about?
Now you know that my son's powers are real.
Mr. Ueda, say something.
"Gyafun" (defeat).
Ueda!
What's going on?
Can the pieces swirl into the air and stick back together?
Is that scientifically possible?
No, it's not.
It's just not possible!
Which means, that grandma lied.
Grandma Okuma?
That's a possibility.
Just like old man Furukawa who was shot.
Do you think they're in cahoots?
Even if they were.
He still managed to reinstate that figurine to what it was.
How do you explain that?
That's...
Don't move.
What is it?
Have you finally...
Isn't this a piece from that figurine?
It must've stuck to me when I was crushing it.
That's strange.
Despite the fact we have a piece here,
that figurine was perfectly restored to what it was.
Which means, there were two figurines.
Most likely.
They must've carried it in.
But how?
Don't eat it!
It's sweet.
This is candy.
What?
There are stilling pieces. Let's crush it finer.
That fake! He purposely crushed it into small pieces!
On purpose? Why?
To eat it.
It's easier to consume if the pieces are small.
Who's going to eat it?
What if there was a group of elderly hiding behind
the panels?
If they don't drag the panels, their feet will be seen.
To hide that unnaturalness, he said the opposite.
Don't drag it!
After they covered all the directions with the four panels.
they started eating the pieces.
Then they restored the figurine with the parts
that they brought in.
Isn't that a lot of work?
I checked behind the panels after that, but there was
no one in the back.
They moved behind another panel.
Stop!
As proof, there was not one shoe at the front entrance...
when there were many pairs when we got there.
That old folks' home has no shoe-box.
Which means, they were all out a that time.
Are all those elderly in cahoots with them?
That's the only explanation for it.
They really go through far extents!
If they're all in it together. then there would
be no purpose to that old folks' home.
You need to pay at least one billion yen to get in.
Why would they take part in it after they pay that?
Are those elderly really who they claim to be?
Are you saying they are filling in for the dead?
I was just about to say that.
Ueda Jiro's research lab.
This is Kyo Asuka.
How are you doing with the investigation?
You haven't given me any report.
The investigation is proceeding smoothly.
Oh, never mind.
Forget that I asked you.
I'm sorry. I'll be right over.
Did something happen?
Shut up!
He really wanted to have...
the Ueda Jiro HAIR.
It's FAIR!
I don't have too many photos of Grandpa.
Thank you for getting it.
Is this Grandpa?
That's right. Don't you always see him?
Yes.
It is him.
After much thought...
I decided to admit Grandma into that old folks' home.
I engaged you. The famous "Donto" Udea
to investigate the old folk home. Until now there is no result.
Maybe the rumours of the "Never Die" is true after all. As what i heard from now.
What about my Udea Fair that you planned?
To be honest, most of the fortune is in Grandma's name.
If we were to lose her now. we'll have to pay a huge
inheritance tax.
inheritance tax?
So we want Grandma to live as long as possible...
If anything, we want her to live for eternity.
Then we won't have to pay any inheritance tax.
Wait a minute. I don't think she should go to that home.
What?
That place has a lot of problems.
It's a lie that it's a "Never Die" old folks' home.
Please have the Ueda Jiro Fair as planned.
What proof do you have?
Asuka, are you home?
Grandmother, it's nice to see you.
You're late!
What happened?
I thought you went to submit your application to the home.
I went there, but l wasn't able to meet with anyone.
I'm here to fill out the admission application.
I got there after 4:00, and no one was around.
So I went around to the back... and there was no one again.
You shouldn't go there after visiting hours.
You said so yourself that they had visiting hours.
That's true. I forgot.
It must've been right after we left.
It's strange that no one is around after visiting hours.
What is it?
Grandmother didn't see anyone...
because no one was around.
No one was around?
That's right.
The visiting hours sign was written boldly...
because there normally isn't anyone around.
What do you mean?
They all gather only during the visiting hours.
The imposter elderly.
Imposter?
Were they imposters after all?
Take a look at this.
It's the boob-grabbing old man.
I got that from Furukawa's family.
Then it must be him.
The secret is held by the big boobs and hare.
It is not visiting time now. There should be no one inside.
It opened.
It's past visiting hours.
Dr. Udea
He's here.
Of course I am. This is our home.
Please come in.
They all gathered...
in anticipation of our visit.
I know what you've done!
I don't understand at all... what you are saying.
Then I'll explain it all to you.
I know why this place is called the "Never Die" old folks' home.
I'd like to hear it by all means.
The purpose of this old folks' home is to make
a dead person appear alive.
The elderly in here are all dead to begin with.
They are dead when they are admitted,
that is why they will never die.
You are already dead.
I'm alive.
All the elderly here are imposters!
Yamada, I heard you went to the Furukawa residence.
Didn't you verify it with his family?
Yes, I did.
But his family are in cahoots with you.
He's dead, but his family members are saying the
imposter is the real person.
His family has a part in it?
Don't laugh!
That's a good one.
Why should they do that?
Udea.
I know the reason.
What is it?
To avoid inheritance tax.
When they leave a huge inheritance,
the family has to pay a huge inheritance tax.
The inheritance may not necessarily be in cash.
But you'll have to pay the tax in cash
To avoid that, you have to pretend that the elderly
who own the assets are alive.
Do you have proof?
Of course.
Nobuko!
She's the nurse who took care of Grandpa Furukawa till the
moment he died.
Is the one who grabbed your boobs...
that elderly man there?
It's me. Thank you for all your care that time.
He's not the one who grabbed my boobs.
That proves it.
You are not Mr. Furukawa
Is that it?
A person's face changes with age.
That nurse must be mistaken.
That's not true.
This person definitely...
He might be the one.
What a flimsy piece of proof.
You can't say "gu".
Gu!
Goodbye.
Wait a minute.
Grandpa, don't you love your hometown song?
That's right.
How did it start?
"Usagi oishi"...
What is the meaning of that?
To chase around the hares...
I got you!
You've finally slipped!
You imposter!
This is the proof that you are an imposter.
Can't you see this photo?
On your knees!
Is that what you wanted to do?
It's a picture of Mr. Furakawa.
What does this prove?
Look at the scroll in the back of Grandpa.
Read it aloud.
"Usagi oishi kano yama..."
This is what he wrote when he was still alive.
The late Grandpa Furukawa misunderstood the song as
the hares are "oishi" (delicious).
You didn't tell me that.
Will you confess a ready?
This doesn't prove anything!
This is the real Mr. Furukawa!
Everyone here is the real McCoy!
Let's call it quits already.
You can all rest assured, now that we are here.
Please calm down.
Calm down!
Please remain calm.
Calm down!
You, calm down!
I'll confess everything.
Sensei, no...
Director! I didn't know there was a real bullet in that rifle.
I teamed up with you to manage the old folks' home.
Not to commit murder.
I never expected you to betray me, Sensei...
As you say, all the elderly here are imposters.
They are part-timers that come during visiting hours.
They're paid 560 yen per hour.
That's high.
Did they restore that figurine to how it was?
Did you think that the elderly are useless?
It doesn't matter how old you are.
With training, that can be done by anyone.
Move the panels!
Drag it on the floor!
Turn the panels!
I can see through the gaps!
Enclose it with the panels!
Speed it up!
Take the panels apart!
I can still see it.
Take the panels to the walls!
Good job!
You shouldn't underestimate the elderly's power.
It's time to disband now.
Sensei, we had a lot of fun.
Thank you!
Was your father a fake, too?
Of course.
My real father died in that ship accident.
When I met him, he already had amnesia.
He called me his son so I just went along with it.
That should be enough.
I have questions to ask that Sensei too.
It's voluntary.
Take care, old man.
My dad's probably the only one in this world who can
fix a complex clock like this.
I was in a ship accident.
Ever since that accident, my father lost his memory.
Wait a minute. Isn't he your real father?
Didn't you say...
that only your dad can fix a complex clock like that?
Didn't Shigezo fix it?
Please show me your arm.
You should have a huge scar on your right arm from
falling off the persimmon tree.
Stop it!
Five years ago, Shigezo didn't board that ship.
You acted like you brought him back to life, but he was
never dead to begin with.
What do you mean?
The real reason why you built this old folks' home
was to hide the fact that he's your real father.
Nobody lives forever.
This old folks' home was bound to be exposed one day.
When it was, you could hide him forever, by making
him one of the imposters.
Am I wrong?
You're exactly right.
Five years ago, he was not on that sunken ship.
But his name was on the deceased list.
He must've given his ticket to a friend.
Everyone thought he was dead.
I tried to kill him by using that fact to my advantage.
Then no one would suspect a single thing.
And I could get the insurance proceeds on his life.
I tried to make it seem as if he drowned to death.
"Modore" (go back)...
The voice he heard saying, "modore" wasn't meant as
a prayer to call him back from the other world...
I was trying to throw him back into sea.
But he didn't die. He came back.
Isn't that Shigezo?
from it had made him lose his memory.
I thought of killing him again.
But the townspeople had already seen him.
What was even worse was that he was regaining his memory.
a little at a time.
If his memory came back, he'd remember that I tried to kill him.
So I thought of this perfect plan.
But you exposed it all.
It was supposed to have been a perfect plan.
I never thought I'd be exposed at the very end
because of the clock.
You boasted about your father.
That's how I figured it out.
My dad's probably the only one in this entire world
who can fix this complex clock.
Didn't you actually love your father?
Yoji isn't a bad person!
Yoji, your powers are real.
My leg was healed. thanks to you.
Look.
Show them your real power.
Shigezo!
Call an ambulance!
Yoji... my son... revive me.
Revive me... with your powers.
Show it to them.
That's impossible.
What they said is the truth.
I don't have that kind of power.
I'm just a fake.
Yoji...
