Yamada!

4
00:00:08,707 --> 00:00:09,946
Huh?

5
00:00:13,449 --> 00:00:15,170
Did you learn to surf in time?

6
00:00:15,170 --> 00:00:16,363
No,

7
00:00:16,363 --> 00:00:18,941
but when I apologised, she forgave me.

8
00:00:18,941 --> 00:00:20,975
I knew it.

9
00:00:20,975 --> 00:00:22,602
Ah, wai- give it back.

10
00:00:22,602 --> 00:00:23,894
This girl,

11
00:00:23,894 --> 00:00:26,202
she doesn't know does she?

12
00:00:26,202 --> 00:00:28,148
What?

13
00:00:30,611 --> 00:00:32,746
That...

14
00:00:32,746 --> 00:00:36,716
you're an otaku.

15
00:00:36,716 --> 00:00:37,781

16
00:00:37,916 --> 00:00:41,699
I wonder what she'd do if she found out.

17
00:00:41,699 --> 00:00:46,250
If it was me, I'd probably never see you again.

18
00:00:47,675 --> 00:00:51,533

19

20
00:01:09,213 --> 00:01:10,202
What is it?

21
00:01:10,654 --> 00:01:12,167
Nothing.

22
00:01:23,337 --> 00:01:25,414
I'm sorry for the trouble.

23
00:01:26,270 --> 00:01:28,877
I didn't think Yuki would drink so much.

24
00:01:28,877 --> 00:01:31,223
It was only class reunion afterall.

25
00:01:31,223 --> 00:01:32,809
Did something happen to her recently?

26
00:01:32,809 --> 00:01:34,477
Why do you ask?

27
00:01:35,082 --> 00:01:39,250
Something to do with her Father maybe..

28
00:01:39,250 --> 00:01:40,770
How can you say that?

29
00:01:40,770 --> 00:01:43,138
Doesn't it matter how I feel?

30
00:01:43,138 --> 00:01:44,681
Leave me alone already.

31
00:01:46,907 --> 00:01:48,474
Did she say anything?

32
00:01:48,474 --> 00:01:49,938
No no.

33
00:01:49,938 --> 00:01:52,204
It's probably just my imagination.

34
00:01:52,683 --> 00:01:54,550

00:03:42,045 --> 00:03:45,092
the chance of meeting a hot guy out on the street like this...

60
00:03:45,197 --> 00:03:46,400
could be pretty good.

61
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,541
What?

62
00:03:48,479 --> 00:03:49,695
Hey, it's Yamada Tsuyoshi.

00:03:49,695 --> 00:03:50,991
Yamada?

64
00:03:50,991 --> 00:03:52,223
What, that Yamada?

65
00:03:52,223 --> 00:03:53,935
Yeah, THE Yamada.

66
00:03:53,935 --> 00:03:57,528
He's great, it's destiny, how dramatic.

67
00:03:57,528 --> 00:03:59,816
You should haved figured it out from our conversations.

68
00:03:59,816 --> 00:04:01,109

69
00:04:01,389 --> 00:04:02,548
Oh.

70
00:04:02,620 --> 00:04:04,595
The friend is seriously good looking.

71
00:04:04,595 --> 00:04:07,583
Huh? A matching party?

72
00:04:08,051 --> 00:04:10,495
Um.. If you don't want to, you don't have to.

73
00:04:10,844 --> 00:04:12,052
Yamada,

74
00:04:12,052 --> 00:04:13,876
take this with you when you go.

75
00:04:13,876 --> 00:04:15,479
Ok, I got it.

76
00:04:16,325 --> 00:04:18,148
Really? It's ok.

77
00:04:18,148 --> 00:04:20,620
Uh..That.. That.. was..

78
00:04:20,620 --> 00:04:23,173
There will be 3 of us then.

79
00:04:24,198 --> 00:04:26,783
Yes, see you there.

80
00:04:39,806 --> 00:04:42,237
I got asked to a matching party by Hermes-san.

81
00:04:42,237 --> 00:04:46,268
I said ok in the spur of the moment, but this is a problem right?

82
00:04:49,486 --> 00:04:51,319
Of course it's a big problem.

83
00:04:51,319 --> 00:04:52,339
I can't help you there though,

84
00:04:52,339 --> 00:04:54,167
that's unknown territory.

85
00:04:54,167 --> 00:04:56,901
I can't think of Hemes going to a matching party.

86
00:04:56,901 --> 00:04:58,733
Then let it to me!

87
00:04:58,733 --> 00:05:01,855
Her friends might have asked her to arrange it.

88
00:05:04,183 --> 00:05:06,454
You're new.

89
00:05:06,454 --> 00:05:07,895
I've been assigned here now.

90
00:05:07,895 --> 00:05:08,830
I hope we can get along.

91
00:05:08,830 --> 00:05:09,342

92
00:05:09,342 --> 00:05:10,358
It's ok.

93
00:05:10,358 --> 00:05:13,086
No one else but you comes here anyway.

94
00:05:16,741 --> 00:05:19,414
You're only going to make a fool out of yourself.  Decline.

95
00:05:19,414 --> 00:05:20,793
1st look good, 2 go with the flow

96
00:05:20,793 --> 00:05:22,304
3 make it happen.

97
00:05:22,304 --> 00:05:24,385
They say your friends say a lot about who you are.

98
00:05:24,385 --> 00:05:27,585
Just find some friends who you can show Hermes.

99
00:05:27,585 --> 00:05:31,673
Just don't call any Otaku friends, it's going to hurt otherwise.

100
00:05:31,673 --> 00:05:33,143
Otaku

101
00:05:34,073 --> 00:05:37,426
This is all getting out of hand.

102
00:05:39,089 --> 00:05:40,431
What should I do?

103
00:05:41,459 --> 00:05:43,346
Hey, hey!

104
00:05:43,346 --> 00:05:44,858
Don't close it, touch it, or look at it.

105
00:05:44,858 --> 00:05:45,817
Got it?

106
00:05:45,817 --> 00:05:47,504
Yes.

107
00:05:50,223 --> 00:05:52,392
A matching party?

108
00:05:52,392 --> 00:05:55,192
That's going to be a problem.

109
00:05:55,192 --> 00:05:57,207
It's been a while,

110
00:05:57,242 --> 00:05:59,345
how's work been since then?

111
00:06:00,808 --> 00:06:02,272
Oikawa-san,

112
00:06:02,272 --> 00:06:05,330
I can take you to a matching party if you want.

113
00:06:05,330 --> 00:06:08,024
No, thats' too arrogant.

114
00:06:08,024 --> 00:06:08,920
Oikawa-sama,

115
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,169
could you possibly accompany me to matching party?

116
00:06:12,169 --> 00:06:14,308
and that's too formal.

117
00:06:14,308 --> 00:06:16,386
A matching party?  Sure.

118
00:06:16,386 --> 00:06:17,822
When is it?

119
00:06:17,822 --> 00:06:18,860
It's tonight.

120
00:06:18,860 --> 00:06:19,838
Tonight?

121
00:06:19,838 --> 00:06:21,436
OK I'll leave my schedule open.

122
00:06:21,436 --> 00:06:22,894
Really?

123
00:06:23,472 --> 00:06:25,359
Thank you so much!

124
00:06:25,359 --> 00:06:27,435
Don't cry.

125
00:06:27,435 --> 00:06:29,108
A matching party?

126
00:06:29,441 --> 00:06:30,849
Why?

127
00:06:30,849 --> 00:06:32,280
I don't know.

128
00:06:38,376 --> 00:06:40,361
Good evening ladies.

129
00:06:40,931 --> 00:06:42,924
Good evening.

130
00:06:43,407 --> 00:06:44,516
Why?

131
00:06:44,516 --> 00:06:45,822
Why does this kind of thing happen?

132
00:06:45,822 --> 00:06:47,881
Ow, ow, you're strangling me.

133
00:06:47,881 --> 00:06:49,761
I've gone to the beauty salon for this,

134
00:06:49,761 --> 00:06:51,003
and went to a spa,

135
00:06:51,003 --> 00:06:53,771
and got my nails done at a store that movie stars go to.

136
00:06:53,771 --> 00:06:54,650
For the first time in a year,

137
00:06:54,650 --> 00:06:58,139
no, in 3 years, I bought underwear that's not beige.

138
00:06:58,139 --> 00:07:00,035
Yuka, you're going to kill me!

139
00:07:00,035 --> 00:07:02,314
Why were we drafted for this mission?

140
00:07:02,314 --> 00:07:04,570
The other guys cancelled at the last minute.

141
00:07:04,570 --> 00:07:07,119
But to ask us to hide our Otaku.

142
00:07:07,154 --> 00:07:08,715
Is really pushing the limits of credibility.

143
00:07:08,715 --> 00:07:11,378
And that's what I'm begging you to try.

144
00:07:11,378 --> 00:07:13,219
Is there something the matter?

145
00:07:17,844 --> 00:07:19,425
Gyha!  It went well!

146
00:07:19,425 --> 00:07:21,250
The women seemed to be happy.

147
00:07:21,250 --> 00:07:22,991
I guess you should give anything a chance.

148
00:07:22,991 --> 00:07:25,702
Kawamoto-shi, your jive was magnificent.

149
00:07:25,913 --> 00:07:28,025
Oh, dude.  I'm so in trouble.

150
00:07:28,025 --> 00:07:29,890

152
00:07:31,233 --> 00:07:33,010
Matsunaga-shi, you were great too.

153
00:07:33,010 --> 00:07:36,360
Your sea turtle gag had them rolling in their seats.

154
00:07:36,737 --> 00:07:39,122
I hate to say it myself, but-

155
00:07:39,122 --> 00:07:40,401
that was the worst dirty joke ever!

156
00:07:40,401 --> 00:07:42,313
How do they come up with something so lame?

157
00:07:42,313 --> 00:07:43,480
We're talking about sea turtles laying eggs.

158
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,584
It was so realistic it was gross.

159
00:07:45,584 --> 00:07:49,329
The act with the glasses was so pathetic he had me shivering.

160
00:07:49,329 --> 00:07:52,145
I'll tear them apart with my bare hands!!

161
00:07:52,145 --> 00:07:53,516
Wait, senpai!

162
00:07:54,929 --> 00:07:57,810
I wonder if everything went ok.

163
00:07:58,041 --> 00:07:59,314
Hm?

164
00:07:59,314 --> 00:08:00,881
Uh.. well...

165
00:08:00,881 --> 00:08:05,929
It's just that it seemed your friends
looked angry when we left the store.

166
00:08:06,814 --> 00:08:10,376
I think they had a good time.

167
00:08:10,376 --> 00:08:13,551
I had a good time too.

168
00:08:13,551 --> 00:08:17,600
I'm glad you said that.

169
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:18,975
Did you hear about the stalker?

170
00:08:18,975 --> 00:08:19,881

I'm all right.

177

178
00:08:49,673 --> 00:08:52,251
It's pretty late isn't it?

179
00:08:57,945 --> 00:09:00,439
You don't have a curfew do you?

180
00:09:00,474 --> 00:09:03,460
I'm not that young anymore.

181
00:09:10,275 --> 00:09:11,089

00:09:11,788 --> 00:09:13,122
Yes?

183
00:09:17,842 --> 00:09:21,424
I can accompany you home if you'd like.

184
00:09:22,658 --> 00:09:24,643
That's ok.

185
00:09:24,643 --> 00:09:25,842

186
00:09:26,244 --> 00:09:27,851

00:09:35,215 --> 00:09:37,491
Thank you for today.

188
00:09:38,192 --> 00:09:41,912
I enjoyed it as well.

189
00:09:41,912 --> 00:09:43,980
I'll mail you again.

190
00:09:46,064 --> 00:09:47,089
Good night.

191
00:09:47,089 --> 00:09:49,433
Good night.

192
00:10:10,021 --> 00:10:11,767
Actually,

193
00:10:12,973 --> 00:10:15,244
could you accompany me home?

194
00:10:17,870 --> 00:10:18,734
Yes.

195
00:10:20,558 --> 00:10:22,574
...she gently look my hand

196
00:10:22,574 --> 00:10:25,662
and lead me off the train.

197
00:10:25,662 --> 00:10:31,543
We ended up leaving the station together from there.

198
00:10:31,543 --> 00:10:33,539
Oh Hermes.

199
00:10:35,599 --> 00:10:40,386
I think even I'm falling in love with you.

200
00:10:44,468 --> 00:10:47,684
Right now, I'd do anything you say.

201
00:10:52,469 --> 00:10:54,309
Then for awhile,

202
00:10:54,309 --> 00:10:56,813
do you think I could sleep over here?

203
00:10:56,813 --> 00:10:57,733
Eh?

204
00:10:57,733 --> 00:10:59,749
See, I just broke up with my girlfriend.

205
00:10:59,749 --> 00:11:00,957
Nope.

206
00:11:00,957 --> 00:11:02,955
You just said, you'd do anything I asked.

207
00:11:02,955 --> 00:11:03,941
Idiot.

208
00:11:03,941 --> 00:11:06,644
Who said I was talking to you?

209
00:11:06,644 --> 00:11:09,889
Besides, you have a home you can go back to.

210
00:11:11,637 --> 00:11:14,673
I don't want to go back there.

211
00:11:15,426 --> 00:11:17,054
You know Keisuke,

212
00:11:17,478 --> 00:11:19,667
you can't stay so selfish forever.

213
00:11:19,796 --> 00:11:22,405
You're not a kid anymore.

214
00:11:24,476 --> 00:11:26,468
This is a huge house.

215
00:11:26,468 --> 00:11:29,589
I wonder what kind of people live here.

216
00:11:30,499 --> 00:11:33,378
It's here, this is my house.

217
00:11:37,484 --> 00:11:40,907
Thank you so much for everything.

218
00:11:40,907 --> 00:11:43,188
Not at all.

219
00:11:43,188 --> 00:11:46,191
I was actually a little afraid.

220
00:11:47,701 --> 00:11:51,867
Lately, I get this feeling someone's watching me.

221
00:11:52,381 --> 00:11:54,005
Someone?

222
00:11:54,013 --> 00:11:56,707
I could be just imagining it though.

223
00:11:58,582 --> 00:12:01,013
Oh, so that's why you asked?

224
00:12:01,013 --> 00:12:02,358
I'm sorry.

225
00:12:02,358 --> 00:12:03,405
No, no.

226
00:12:03,405 --> 00:12:06,547
I'm glad I could help.

227
00:12:12,191 --> 00:12:15,264
Well, it was kinda like that.

228
00:12:16,086 --> 00:12:18,079
Like what?  What were you waiting for?

229
00:12:18,079 --> 00:12:20,289
I want to escort Hermes-san too!

230
00:12:21,065 --> 00:12:23,192
You've really matured, being able to take her home.

231
00:12:23,192 --> 00:12:25,631
You've had courage all along.

232
00:12:25,631 --> 00:12:27,802
You can tell her you like her soon.

233
00:12:27,802 --> 00:12:28,666
It's still waay too early.

234
00:12:28,666 --> 00:12:32,651
All right, let's all think of ways that Densha
can tell Hermes how he feels.

235
00:12:32,966 --> 00:12:34,338
He can decide that for himself.

236
00:12:34,338 --> 00:12:37,094
Yeah, that's not our job.

237
00:12:38,426 --> 00:12:42,499
Everyone's getting ahead of themselves.

238
00:12:45,795 --> 00:12:48,993
[It turns out I wasn't just imagining it]

239
00:12:49,427 --> 00:12:54,498
[I found all these pictures of myself in my mailbox just now]

240
00:12:59,476 --> 00:13:00,250
[Aoyama Saori]

241
00:13:03,657 --> 00:13:05,780
An emergency just came up.

242
00:13:05,780 --> 00:13:08,403
It looks like someone's following Hermes-san around.

243
00:13:08,403 --> 00:13:11,076
[Stalker]

244
00:13:11,076 --> 00:13:13,491
What!!

245
00:13:13,491 --> 00:13:16,293
Give us the details.

246
00:13:16,293 --> 00:13:20,897
It seems she's noticed someone watching
her on her way to work lately.

247
00:13:20,949 --> 00:13:24,646
And now someone's dropped off all these pictures of her.

248
00:13:24,681 --> 00:13:26,981
If we can't figure out what's happening, the police can't do a thing.

249
00:13:26,981 --> 00:13:28,492
Even if we went to the police,

250
00:13:28,492 --> 00:13:30,124
there's a good chance they'll ignore us.

251
00:13:30,124 --> 00:13:31,324
Bastard!

252
00:13:31,324 --> 00:13:33,645
I'll take my American M72A2 bazooka,

253
00:13:33,645 --> 00:13:34,997
and smash him to smithereens.

254
00:13:34,997 --> 00:13:35,972
Alert, alert!

255
00:13:35,972 --> 00:13:38,562
We've just found someone more dangerous that the stalker!

256
00:13:42,370 --> 00:13:43,806
Target eliminated.

257
00:13:46,397 --> 00:13:50,711
I'm a girl, but knowing it might be someone you know
it makes it hard to speak out.

258
00:13:50,746 --> 00:13:52,625
Please help her Densha-san.

259
00:13:52,625 --> 00:13:54,633
Then what should I do?

260
00:13:54,633 --> 00:13:56,777
I want to help Hermes-san too.

261
00:13:56,777 --> 00:13:58,445
I'm sure we can come up with something.

262
00:13:58,445 --> 00:14:01,292
Aren't there anti-surveillance goods you can buy at Akihabara?

263
00:14:01,292 --> 00:14:03,509
I'm sure she'd be happy having you to walk her home.

264
00:14:03,509 --> 00:14:05,092
Make sure you shred all her garbage.

265
00:14:05,092 --> 00:14:07,308
Covering your tracks is the most important thing in espionage.

266
00:14:07,308 --> 00:14:10,590
Dark curtains prevent people from knowing
when you're home.  Good.

267
00:14:10,699 --> 00:14:12,339
Thanks for all of your suggestions.

268
00:14:12,339 --> 00:14:14,978
I want to set her at ease as soon as possible.

269
00:14:14,978 --> 00:14:19,187
I'll see what I can do on my end.

270
00:14:44,774 --> 00:14:46,875
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

271
00:15:02,355 --> 00:15:06,009
I went out and bought some things you might be able to use.

272
00:15:07,931 --> 00:15:09,542
Anti-crime buzzer.

273
00:15:10,612 --> 00:15:12,540
A sniffer to find bugs.

274
00:15:12,540 --> 00:15:16,735
and this, and this...

275
00:15:20,116 --> 00:15:21,468
And a stun gun.

276
00:15:21,724 --> 00:15:23,096
And...

277
00:15:24,612 --> 00:15:27,717
I've compiled a list of things you can do to prevent stalkers.

278
00:15:27,752 --> 00:15:30,434
If you have a chance, please have a look at it.

279
00:15:30,501 --> 00:15:31,680
Anti-Stalker
Manual

280
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,228
So you could read it in the shortest possible time,

281
00:15:33,228 --> 00:15:34,772
I'll highlighted the key parts.

282
00:15:34,772 --> 00:15:37,676
Just reading those should make a difference.

283
00:15:37,676 --> 00:15:40,568
You did this in one day?

284
00:15:40,884 --> 00:15:42,579
I'm sorry.

285
00:15:42,579 --> 00:15:44,869
I thought it might be a bother, but...

286
00:15:48,676 --> 00:15:51,396
I'm pleased you went to the trouble.

287
00:15:51,396 --> 00:15:53,621
Thank you very much.

288
00:15:53,621 --> 00:15:54,916
Not at all.

289
00:15:56,524 --> 00:15:58,220
Also...

290
00:16:03,638 --> 00:16:06,494
I, i, if it's ok, with you...

291
00:16:12,381 --> 00:16:14,981
C, could I w, walk you to and from work?

292
00:16:14,981 --> 00:16:15,701
What?

293
00:16:15,701 --> 00:16:17,309
Uh... See...

294
00:16:17,309 --> 00:16:20,004
It's not that I want to walk with you or anything, but

295
00:16:20,004 --> 00:16:23,044
I can't bear to sit by and not do anything.

296
00:16:23,044 --> 00:16:25,204
I can't ask that of you.

297
00:16:25,204 --> 00:16:27,765
I'm really ok.

298
00:16:28,868 --> 00:16:31,028
It's a bother, isn't it.

299
00:16:31,028 --> 00:16:33,804
It's not that.

300
00:16:33,804 --> 00:16:35,869
I just think it'll be too much trouble for you.

301
00:16:35,869 --> 00:16:37,451
Please.

302
00:16:44,940 --> 00:16:46,756
Then ok.

303
00:16:46,940 --> 00:16:47,866
Hm?

304
00:16:49,728 --> 00:16:51,937
Thank you for letting me do this.

305
00:17:04,126 --> 00:17:05,206
Um.

306
00:17:05,206 --> 00:17:06,695
Yes?

307
00:17:06,695 --> 00:17:10,070
What are we supposed to talk about at a time like this?

308
00:17:10,070 --> 00:17:12,382
Let's see...

309
00:17:12,382 --> 00:17:15,070
I'm sorry.

310
00:17:15,070 --> 00:17:18,165
I really don't know about these things.

311
00:17:18,165 --> 00:17:21,077
How about movies?

312
00:17:21,646 --> 00:17:23,131
Movies?

313
00:17:24,023 --> 00:17:26,389
What kind do you like?

314
00:17:26,911 --> 00:17:28,815
It's been a while,

315
00:17:28,815 --> 00:17:30,663
but the Matrix comes to mind.

316
00:17:30,663 --> 00:17:32,134
With Keanu Reaves.

317
00:17:32,134 --> 00:17:34,928
Do you know it?  I loved it.

318
00:17:34,928 --> 00:17:38,606
It's commonly known that the Matrix was
heavily influenced by Japan Anime.

319
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,938
In a recent discussion between Director Oshii
and the Wachowski Bros.,

320
00:17:41,434 --> 00:17:44,803
Oshii said he would have used Gina Gershon
for the role of Trinity.

321
00:17:47,399 --> 00:17:49,552
S s sorry.

322
00:17:54,451 --> 00:17:58,544
...and so I became her bodyguard because I was worried about her,

323
00:18:03,127 --> 00:18:07,336
but I ended up worrying in a different way.

324
00:18:07,336 --> 00:18:13,493
I was happy to spend such a peaceful time
together with her though.

325
00:18:33,956 --> 00:18:35,318
I can't stand it anymore.

326
00:18:35,318 --> 00:18:36,671
I feel sick.

327
00:18:37,376 --> 00:18:39,924
Could you please bring me a glass of water?

328
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,375
You know,

329
00:18:43,936 --> 00:18:46,320
there's this tea that helps when you have a hang over?

330
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,839
Probably.

331
00:18:47,839 --> 00:18:48,984
Do you want to go together?

332
00:18:48,984 --> 00:18:49,796
No.

333
00:18:50,264 --> 00:18:51,169
Why not?

334
00:18:51,169 --> 00:18:54,223
It's that store Keisuke works at right?

335
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,874
That's why I'm not going.

336
00:19:06,101 --> 00:19:10,240
Mother?  You don't want Keisuke to come back home?

337
00:19:15,637 --> 00:19:17,105
Not a bit.

338
00:19:20,053 --> 00:19:23,022
Keisuke always sides with his Father.

339
00:19:32,620 --> 00:19:36,724
Densha, aren't you forgetting something?

340
00:19:36,724 --> 00:19:38,954
It's good that you're enjoying your peaceful time together,

341
00:19:38,954 --> 00:19:41,058
but that's not solving any of her problems.

342
00:19:41,058 --> 00:19:42,251
Forward, Melos.

343
00:19:42,251 --> 00:19:43,866
That's true.

344
00:19:43,866 --> 00:19:46,219
I really do want to do something.

345
00:19:46,219 --> 00:19:49,306
Without knowing the identity of the stalker
there isn't much we can do.

346
00:19:49,306 --> 00:19:51,627
It's not a job for amateurs like us.

347
00:19:51,627 --> 00:19:53,058
It would he good to have some hints.

348
00:19:53,058 --> 00:19:55,210
How about those photos that were sent to Hermes-san?

349
00:19:55,210 --> 00:19:58,564
Depending on the angle of the shot,
you can figure out where it was taken.

350
00:19:58,564 --> 00:19:59,395
Good point.

351
00:19:59,395 --> 00:20:01,644
That's definitely worth following up on.

352
00:20:01,644 --> 00:20:03,651
What are you planning on doing once you find the stalker?

353
00:20:03,651 --> 00:20:04,851
There's no way you'll find him.

354
00:20:04,851 --> 00:20:06,250
It it was me, I'd start by hitting him.

355
00:20:06,250 --> 00:20:09,300
Will Densha have the muscles to fight the stalker?
I'm worried.

356
00:20:09,300 --> 00:20:10,331
He might have a knife.

357
00:20:10,331 --> 00:20:11,648
Knife

358
00:20:14,787 --> 00:20:17,356
Don't spook me out like that.

359
00:20:17,356 --> 00:20:19,019
But if I do find him-

360
00:20:19,019 --> 00:20:20,516
Sic the police on him.

361
00:20:20,516 --> 00:20:22,700
I'd lecture him for 5 hours.

362
00:20:22,700 --> 00:20:24,339
Find him first, then think about it.

363
00:20:24,339 --> 00:20:27,084
You'll deal with it in your way.

364
00:20:37,517 --> 00:20:39,781
The photos are in here.

365
00:20:40,292 --> 00:20:41,836
Thank you.

366
00:20:42,477 --> 00:20:43,989
Let's go.

367
00:20:47,548 --> 00:20:49,838
But what are you planning to do?

368
00:20:50,179 --> 00:20:52,384
Don't worry about anything.

369
00:20:52,403 --> 00:20:56,076
I'll protect you no matter what.

370
00:21:04,593 --> 00:21:05,937
All right.

371
00:21:11,018 --> 00:21:13,120
17 o'clock.

372
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:14,096
T minus 5...

373
00:21:14,725 --> 00:21:15,261
_4_

374
00:21:15,871 --> 00:21:16,784
_3_

375
00:21:17,307 --> 00:21:18,488
_2_

376
00:21:19,158 --> 00:21:19,745
_1_

377
00:21:22,554 --> 00:21:25,969
What are you planning, leaving on time?

378
00:21:25,969 --> 00:21:27,201
I'm sorry.

379
00:21:27,201 --> 00:21:29,586
I have things I have to do.

380
00:21:29,586 --> 00:21:31,818
Bah~  Hey, phone.

381
00:21:31,818 --> 00:21:33,386
I'm Yamada's supervisor.

382
00:21:33,386 --> 00:21:35,314
Yamada's currently busy, and cannot come to the phone.

383
00:21:35,314 --> 00:21:37,554
I'll take your message for him.

384
00:21:37,554 --> 00:21:40,715
Ok, all right.  Uh huh.

385
00:21:41,266 --> 00:21:42,770
Here, have it back.

386
00:21:42,770 --> 00:21:44,203
It's from some girl called Aoyama.

387
00:21:44,203 --> 00:21:45,658
She'll be meeting a friend today,

388
00:21:45,658 --> 00:21:48,355
so she doesn't need you to pick her up.

389
00:21:48,355 --> 00:21:49,516
A f, f, friend?

390
00:21:49,516 --> 00:21:52,487
Her f, f, friend, is probably a guy.

391
00:22:05,664 --> 00:22:07,287
So what's Mom learning today?

392
00:22:07,287 --> 00:22:08,208
Otoko (1st 2 syllables reversed)

393
00:22:08,208 --> 00:22:09,391
A guy?

394
00:22:10,128 --> 00:22:11,390
Here.

395
00:22:11,815 --> 00:22:13,180
Koto Lessons

396
00:22:13,209 --> 00:22:15,136
Dispair

397
00:22:15,136 --> 00:22:17,800
I got a call from Hermes-san saying she'll be meeting a friend,

398
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,821
and so she wouldn't need me to walk her back.

399
00:22:20,821 --> 00:22:22,925
I think I messed up.

400
00:22:22,925 --> 00:22:24,554
A friend...could be a significant other.

401
00:22:24,554 --> 00:22:26,385
That's her boyfriend for sure.

402
00:22:26,385 --> 00:22:29,010
Did you ask her if she was seeing anyone?

403
00:22:29,010 --> 00:22:30,033
Not yet.

404
00:22:30,033 --> 00:22:32,714
It doesn't sound like it from what you've told us so far.

405
00:22:32,714 --> 00:22:35,579
It might have all been for nothing.

406
00:22:35,579 --> 00:22:38,208
She has her own life too.

407
00:22:39,170 --> 00:22:40,354
That's true.

408
00:22:40,354 --> 00:22:41,922
From her POV,

409
00:22:41,922 --> 00:22:44,418
it might have all been a bother.

410
00:22:44,418 --> 00:22:45,715
Maybe,

411
00:22:45,715 --> 00:22:48,111
I'm just a stalker too.

412
00:22:48,111 --> 00:22:51,832
Don't worry about it.  Just think about protecting her.

413
00:22:52,155 --> 00:22:54,445
Quit thinking negatively.

414
00:22:55,155 --> 00:22:56,292
It doesn't matter if she has a boyfriend,

415
00:22:56,292 --> 00:22:58,834
or if she thinks you're a bother.

416
00:22:58,834 --> 00:23:04,120
You're working hard to make sure she stays safe, right?

417
00:23:10,620 --> 00:23:12,251
You're right.

418
00:23:12,251 --> 00:23:14,601
I lost sight of what I was doing.

419
00:23:14,601 --> 00:23:17,228
I'll go and find her stalker now.

420
00:23:31,469 --> 00:23:35,108
I'll protect you!

421
00:23:40,365 --> 00:23:44,444
He seemed pretty enthusiastic, but is it going to go that easily?

422
00:23:44,444 --> 00:23:48,229
His movements will be between her station and her house.

423
00:23:51,721 --> 00:23:52,518
It's here.

424
00:23:57,238 --> 00:23:58,473
Next!

425
00:24:03,085 --> 00:24:05,543
This looks like it.

426
00:24:05,543 --> 00:24:08,012
Maybe he'll be mistaken as a stalker himself.

427
00:24:08,012 --> 00:24:12,025
I can imagine him being questioned right now.

428
00:24:14,351 --> 00:24:18,048
It's going to take a while investigating each picture one by one.

429
00:24:24,697 --> 00:24:27,373
We'll be cheering you on even from our graves.

430
00:24:27,373 --> 00:24:29,834
We're not dead yet.

431
00:24:31,533 --> 00:24:34,207
I know what you're trying to say.

432
00:24:34,207 --> 00:24:35,565
But Mother-

433
00:24:35,565 --> 00:24:39,094
Then why hasn't she called me once?

434
00:24:39,094 --> 00:24:42,464
I was just telling her to divorce and try to start moving ahead.

435
00:24:43,138 --> 00:24:43,675
She just-

436
00:24:43,872 --> 00:24:48,266
That's why she can't apologize.
She hasn't been able to  move forward.

437
00:24:48,266 --> 00:24:52,373
Mother's not that strong.

438
00:24:57,448 --> 00:25:00,025
Look, I'm sorry.

439
00:25:00,025 --> 00:25:02,609
But I not going back.

440
00:25:02,609 --> 00:25:06,495
I think Mother wants you close by right now.

441
00:25:18,329 --> 00:25:20,016
Yes, hello?

442
00:25:20,386 --> 00:25:22,205
She's here.

443
00:25:22,418 --> 00:25:24,450
Hold on a moment.

444
00:25:24,610 --> 00:25:27,420
Sis, it's from work.

445
00:25:35,238 --> 00:25:37,800
Let's check here too.

446
00:25:47,116 --> 00:25:49,687
The angle's right.

447
00:25:51,229 --> 00:25:53,028
The position...

448
00:25:55,461 --> 00:25:57,795
is around here.

449
00:25:59,116 --> 00:26:01,597
[Imura Shunpei]

450
00:26:11,325 --> 00:26:13,700
Please, please...

451
00:26:19,121 --> 00:26:21,337
He's not home.

452
00:26:28,078 --> 00:26:32,589
Often in dramas, places like this

453
00:26:33,167 --> 00:26:34,891
are unlocked?

454
00:26:37,675 --> 00:26:39,742
It openned.

455
00:26:54,871 --> 00:26:56,454
You again.

456
00:26:57,506 --> 00:26:58,243
L, L, Lo

457
00:27:00,264 --> 00:27:02,055
Hello?

458
00:27:02,055 --> 00:27:03,423
Yes.

459
00:27:03,423 --> 00:27:05,592
Aoyama would be me.

460
00:27:05,592 --> 00:27:07,912
There's a package here for you.

461
00:27:07,912 --> 00:27:09,655
we need to verify receipt,

462
00:27:09,655 --> 00:27:12,261
but would you mind coming here as soon as possible?

463
00:27:13,296 --> 00:27:15,594
Does it have to be today?

464
00:27:17,264 --> 00:27:19,592
All right.

465
00:27:19,592 --> 00:27:21,662
I'll head over there right now.

466
00:27:22,249 --> 00:27:24,064
See you there.

467
00:27:29,312 --> 00:27:31,150
I have to head back to work.

468
00:27:47,490 --> 00:27:49,915
Sorry for intruding.

469
00:27:52,738 --> 00:27:54,880
I'm coming in.

470
00:28:05,611 --> 00:28:07,724
What's all this?

471
00:28:08,103 --> 00:28:08,658
Incredible.

472
00:28:10,156 --> 00:28:10,798
Cute.

473
00:28:42,744 --> 00:28:43,928
This is Yamada,

474
00:28:43,928 --> 00:28:45,530
but are you ok?

475
00:28:46,104 --> 00:28:48,468
She's not around at the moment.

476
00:28:49,671 --> 00:28:51,168
It's a guy.

477
00:28:51,665 --> 00:28:54,753
She left a while ago after being called to work.

478
00:28:54,753 --> 00:28:57,255
Is there anything I can do?

479
00:28:57,432 --> 00:28:59,753
Oh no!

480
00:29:22,675 --> 00:29:25,220
From someone who loves you very much.

481
00:30:37,885 --> 00:30:41,303
Aoyama-san!

482
00:31:08,011 --> 00:31:10,062
Ow, ow, ow...

483
00:31:12,373 --> 00:31:13,357
Are you ok?

484
00:31:13,357 --> 00:31:15,285
I'm so sorry.

485
00:31:15,285 --> 00:31:21,388
I was in such a rush, and it's all my fault.

486
00:31:25,869 --> 00:31:27,229
[Imura Shunpei]

487
00:31:30,615 --> 00:31:34,510
Uh, uh, i if you don't mind my asking...

488
00:31:34,510 --> 00:31:39,185
you're not by any chance, Aoyama-san's stalker are you?

489
00:31:56,685 --> 00:31:57,621
You shouldn't-

490
00:31:57,621 --> 00:31:58,848
Get away from me!

491
00:32:10,869 --> 00:32:12,805
I'm sorry.

492
00:32:16,095 --> 00:32:17,647
I'm sorry.

493
00:32:17,647 --> 00:32:20,716
I didn't mean to do this kind of thing.

494
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:29,260
I've hardly talked with any girls.

495
00:32:30,184 --> 00:32:32,864
And that's why,

496
00:32:32,864 --> 00:32:36,493
I don't know how to go about it.

497
00:32:42,088 --> 00:32:46,170
I just wanted her to notice me.

498
00:32:52,152 --> 00:32:54,601
I know how you feel.

499
00:32:57,835 --> 00:33:00,298
That's a lie.

500
00:33:00,298 --> 00:33:01,966
No one could know-

501
00:33:02,099 --> 00:33:07,107
I've also never dated a girl in my life.

502
00:33:10,185 --> 00:33:12,194
So...

503
00:33:12,194 --> 00:33:15,584
I don't know what they're thinking.

504
00:33:17,330 --> 00:33:21,575
I try to act differently so she'll like me,

505
00:33:22,163 --> 00:33:24,572
but it doesn't work.

506
00:33:25,794 --> 00:33:28,542
When I'm with Aoyama-san,

507
00:33:28,542 --> 00:33:31,917
I'm just as scared as I am happy.

508
00:33:32,664 --> 00:33:37,959
Never knowing when this happiness is going to disappear.

509
00:33:40,709 --> 00:33:46,535
I'm really a pathetic guy.

510
00:33:47,448 --> 00:33:50,674
It work I'm always scolded.

511
00:33:50,921 --> 00:33:53,785
I'm made fun of by my family.

512
00:33:54,605 --> 00:33:56,628
Anything I try,

513
00:33:56,663 --> 00:33:58,946
I can't do right.

514
00:34:04,428 --> 00:34:07,975
It's the same when I'm with Aoyama-san.

515
00:34:10,028 --> 00:34:12,024
When I call her,

516
00:34:12,024 --> 00:34:14,022
my hands are always shaking.

517
00:34:14,022 --> 00:34:16,239
And my voice gets all squeaky.

518
00:34:18,683 --> 00:34:22,196
Because I don't want to be seen wearing the same clothes,

519
00:34:22,196 --> 00:34:24,964
I buy a new set every time.

520
00:34:27,582 --> 00:34:30,364
I can hardly drink,

521
00:34:30,364 --> 00:34:33,646
but I pass it off like I hardly feel it.

522
00:34:38,469 --> 00:34:42,916
I really want to know if she has a boyfriend,

523
00:34:44,822 --> 00:34:47,388
but I'm so afraid of the answer

524
00:34:47,388 --> 00:34:49,617
I can't ask her.

525
00:34:56,821 --> 00:34:59,806
And that's why

526
00:34:59,806 --> 00:35:02,601
I can empathize.

527
00:35:02,601 --> 00:35:05,565
I've felt everything you've felt.

528
00:35:10,566 --> 00:35:15,263
I'm like a stalker too.

529
00:35:22,964 --> 00:35:27,521
That's not so.

530
00:35:31,944 --> 00:35:37,245
All I ever did was hurt her.

531
00:35:40,290 --> 00:35:42,865
But you...

532
00:35:59,216 --> 00:36:03,990
This is my best picture of her.

533
00:36:25,851 --> 00:36:30,671
I also wanted to become like you.

534
00:36:38,076 --> 00:36:41,033
I didn't get here on my own.

535
00:36:45,083 --> 00:36:46,981
There's people out there,

536
00:36:47,884 --> 00:36:49,886
who cheer me on,

537
00:36:50,388 --> 00:36:51,913
and scold me,

538
00:36:53,604 --> 00:36:55,146
and encourage me.

539
00:36:57,068 --> 00:37:01,197
I have all these people,

You can do it, Densha Otoko.

551
00:37:40,362 --> 00:37:42,478
Ok, I'm ready.

552
00:37:44,635 --> 00:37:49,699
You can take me in now, I'll go wherever you tell me.

553
00:37:51,739 --> 00:37:53,509
Then,

554
00:37:54,804 --> 00:37:57,882
let's go see Aoyama-san.

555
00:37:59,892 --> 00:38:05,180
And apologize to her.

556
00:38:12,556 --> 00:38:16,646
I'll go with you.

557
00:38:43,682 --> 00:38:45,669
[That's true.]
[Still, he taking forever.]
[Maybe the tables got turned.  Is he ok?]

558
00:38:45,669 --> 00:38:47,138
Densha's talking forever.

559
00:38:47,138 --> 00:38:49,063
Maybe he's been pummeled already.

560
00:38:49,063 --> 00:38:51,747
Carried into a hospital in an ambulance.

561
00:38:51,747 --> 00:38:55,258
Even without Densha here, there's an awful lot of us here.

562
00:38:55,258 --> 00:38:58,690
We're a strange group aren't we?

563
00:38:58,690 --> 00:39:01,050
Bound by solidarity?

564
00:39:01,050 --> 00:39:03,034
Friendship! Comrades! Unity!

565
00:39:03,034 --> 00:39:05,043
Sounds like something out of a teenage comic.

566
00:39:05,043 --> 00:39:09,219
I thought we all hated the idea of banding together.

567
00:39:09,219 --> 00:39:10,823
It's the opposite.

568
00:39:11,215 --> 00:39:14,811
I think that's what we're all hoping for.

569
00:39:23,605 --> 00:39:27,042
I just like being here.

570
00:39:35,645 --> 00:39:39,422
It's getting mushy in here. You guy are laying it on a little thick.

571
00:39:48,806 --> 00:39:52,043
Densha, when are getting back?

572
00:40:02,447 --> 00:40:04,325
[Express]
[Densha Otoko]

573
00:40:12,376 --> 00:40:14,418
[We're all with you!]

574
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:22,384
Kaoru-chan,

575
00:40:22,384 --> 00:40:24,988
It's getting late; you should sleep.

576
00:40:26,655 --> 00:40:28,345
Good night.

577
00:40:31,041 --> 00:40:32,958
Good night.

578
00:40:41,569 --> 00:40:43,543
This is the second time.

579
00:40:45,121 --> 00:40:48,042
That I've been saved by you.

580
00:40:48,491 --> 00:40:49,086
No, no.

581
00:40:49,479 --> 00:40:54,632
It seems like I'm always causing a commotion.

582
00:40:57,729 --> 00:41:01,849
He was saying he'd go back to the country side.

583
00:41:01,849 --> 00:41:03,314
Really?

584
00:41:19,806 --> 00:41:21,139
Um.

585
00:41:21,484 --> 00:41:22,530
Yes?

586
00:41:26,989 --> 00:41:30,363
When I called your cell phone earlier,

587
00:41:31,677 --> 00:41:34,827
a, a , a man answered.

588
00:41:34,862 --> 00:41:35,981
Hm?

589
00:41:38,172 --> 00:41:39,974
My cell..

590
00:41:46,381 --> 00:41:48,538
It must be at Keisuke's

591
00:41:49,700 --> 00:41:50,897
Keisuke?

592
00:41:52,636 --> 00:41:54,877
He's my little brother.

593
00:41:58,901 --> 00:42:00,874
Your brother.

594
00:42:07,565 --> 00:42:09,340
It's late, who is it?

595
00:42:17,861 --> 00:42:19,354
What happened?

596
00:42:20,573 --> 00:42:23,830
Here, Saori forgot this.

597
00:42:25,949 --> 00:42:28,226
You came here just for that?

598
00:42:40,174 --> 00:42:42,801
Man, I'm hungry.

599
00:42:45,359 --> 00:42:47,583
All we have's beer.

600
00:42:59,537 --> 00:43:00,831
I'm back.

601
00:43:05,384 --> 00:43:07,728
Thank you for today.

602
00:43:07,728 --> 00:43:08,905
No,

603
00:43:08,905 --> 00:43:12,609
Thank you.

604
00:43:12,609 --> 00:43:14,278
I'll mail you again.

605
00:43:15,018 --> 00:43:16,408
Ok.

606
00:43:16,785 --> 00:43:18,089
Good night.

607
00:43:18,089 --> 00:43:19,514
Good night.

608
00:44:03,208 --> 00:44:06,245
Could I walk you home?

609
00:44:13,130 --> 00:44:14,558
Yes.

610
00:44:20,985 --> 00:44:22,109
Densha,

611
00:44:22,146 --> 00:44:25,537
If you're not back yet, could it mean...?

612
00:44:25,537 --> 00:44:28,510
Did he finally tell her!

613
00:46:07,124 --> 00:46:13,129
We'll be giving out a 100 CDs containing the ending theme
for this drama as performed by Sambo Master.
