1. Moving along, turn to page 44
in your textbooks.Copy !req
2. Are they open?Copy !req
3. Mr. Yokota...
Sorry I'm late again...Copy !req
4. Katayama, what's wrong
with your back?Copy !req
5. Hm?Copy !req
6. Oh. It started swelling
for some reason.Copy !req
7. And down we go...Copy !req
8. What is that?Copy !req
9. Gross, it's like a snail shell!Copy !req
10. That's so freaky...Copy !req
11. What the heck?Copy !req
12. Gross!Copy !req
13. A spiral...Copy !req
14. What's that sound?Copy !req
15. Snakes!Copy !req
16. Those two snakes
are coiled around each other!Copy !req
17. Gross, that's so creepy!Copy !req
18. They're fighting, aren't they?Copy !req
19. They're at each other's throats.
Just like our parents.Copy !req
20. They're not fighting...
They're mating.Copy !req
21. I hear that they still don't
know where Azami is.Copy !req
22. Yeah...Copy !req
23. It must have been rough
for you, Kirie.Copy !req
24. You were questioned by the police
about the disappearance, right?Copy !req
25. Yeah...Copy !req
26. Say, Kirie...Copy !req
27. Did you know that they've
started burying people again?Copy !req
28. Huh?Copy !req
29. They're burying bodies
instead of cremating them.Copy !req
30. Those huge spirals have been swirling above
the Kurouzu crematorium lately, right?Copy !req
31. Yeah...Copy !req
32. They're trying to write it off
as a freak of nature,Copy !req
33. a combination of a furnace malfunction
and unique local weather patterns,Copy !req
34. but I hear there have been spirals
above crematoriums in other cities, too.Copy !req
35. But only when someone
from Kurouzu-cho is cremated,Copy !req
36. Doesn't that blow your mind?Copy !req
37. Yeah...Copy !req
38. I guess it's because people think
it's better than seeing those spirals,Copy !req
39. but I can't believe there's actual dead bodies
buried along the path we take to school.Copy !req
40. It makes my hair stand on end...Copy !req
41. Let's walk faster, yeah?Copy !req
42. Boo!Copy !req
43. Goshima! I love you!Copy !req
44. Don't jump out at people
like that, Yamaguchi!Copy !req
45. Did I get you?Copy !req
46. Don't even bother trying
to get her attention.Copy !req
47. Kirie already has a boyfriend.Copy !req
48. Sure, I know!Copy !req
49. But I want to land a pretty girl
like you as my girlfriendCopy !req
50. and give everyone
the shock of their lives!Copy !req
51. For the love of...Copy !req
52. This is why everyone
calls you Jack-in-the-Box!Copy !req
53. Scaring people is my thing!Copy !req
54. Well, I don't want anything
to do with it or you.Copy !req
55. Please stop bothering me.Copy !req
56. Let's go, Shiho.Copy !req
57. Goshima!Copy !req
58. I'm not giving up!Copy !req
59. Mark my words,
I'll make you fall for me!Copy !req
60. - Stupid punk!
- We warned you to stay away from her!Copy !req
61. Come on, Yoriko!Copy !req
62. No! Let go of me, Dad!Copy !req
63. Yoriko!Copy !req
64. Little bastard!Copy !req
65. Kazunori!Copy !req
66. - March, young lady!
- No! Kazunori!Copy !req
67. Are you okay?Copy !req
68. Kazunori?Copy !req
69. They're warped and twisted...Copy !req
70. Huh? Who are?Copy !req
71. Do you remember, Goshima?Copy !req
72. We moved here when I
was in grade school.Copy !req
73. Into that old row house that
had been abandoned for yearsCopy !req
74. that everyone calls
the Poorhouse.Copy !req
75. Sure, Shuichi and I
would go over sometimes.Copy !req
76. Yoriko's family lives in
the same row house,Copy !req
77. but our families
hate each other.Copy !req
78. Everyone's hearts are
twisted beyond recognition.Copy !req
79. I think it's because they can't accept
the poverty they've found themselves in.Copy !req
80. So twisting themselves
into knotsCopy !req
81. is their only way to shield themselves
from that reality.Copy !req
82. When two twisted people
lock horns with each otherCopy !req
83. they become entangled,
and things go totally out of control.Copy !req
84. It's impossible for them
to get untangled.Copy !req
85. Your families are twisted beyond recognition?
But you're not like that at at all.Copy !req
86. Thanks.
I appreciate that, Goshima.Copy !req
87. I like to think that Yoriko and I
haven't become twisted yet.Copy !req
88. The thing is... We're planning
to run away together.Copy !req
89. What?Copy !req
90. By train the day after tomorrow.Copy !req
91. Don't tell anyone, okay?Copy !req
92. I won't.Copy !req
93. SAITO, YUKIECopy !req
94. I sure hope Kazunori and Yoriko
find a way to be happy.Copy !req
95. That makes sense. It's no wonder
that they hate each other.Copy !req
96. The spiral curse
hangs over that row house.Copy !req
97. Come again?Copy !req
98. The spiral is twisting
and warping their souls.Copy !req
99. Unless my eyes are deceiving me,Copy !req
100. the curse is particularly strong
in that row house.Copy !req
101. Admittedly, this whole town has begun
to be infected by the spiral.Copy !req
102. Look at these.Copy !req
103. Hm?Copy !req
104. Once they're touched by the spiral, which has
the power to draw things towards its center,Copy !req
105. people must have an overwhelming urge
to attract the attention of others.Copy !req
106. By the way, Kirie...Copy !req
107. Hm?Copy !req
108. Are you growing your hair out?Copy !req
109. What?Copy !req
110. Come to think of it, my hair does
seem longer all of a sudden.Copy !req
111. Ms. Goshima...Copy !req
112. What's going on with your hair?Copy !req
113. What?Copy !req
114. Where did all these curls
come from?Copy !req
115. Why don't you
do a French braid?Copy !req
116. I can braid it for you.Copy !req
117. Thanks, Ms. Sekino.Copy !req
118. The structure of DNACopy !req
119. is a double helix.Copy !req
120. Picture two strandsCopy !req
121. that form a ladder
that is then twisted.Copy !req
122. Each strand has a backboneCopy !req
123. made of alternating sugar and phosphate
groups that form a pentagram.Copy !req
124. - Oh, come on!
made of alternating sugar and phosphate
groups that form a pentagram.Copy !req
125. The points of the pentagram point inwards
to the center of the helix, where they—Copy !req
126. What the hell is that monster?Copy !req
127. Gross!Copy !req
128. It's Katayama...!Copy !req
129. What did you say?Copy !req
130. - Seriously?
- Are you kidding?Copy !req
131. That's totally Katayama!
See? Look at its face!Copy !req
132. His eyes stuck out!Copy !req
133. Please cut it.
Lop it all off.Copy !req
134. Are you sure?Copy !req
135. Yes, so creepy.Copy !req
136. All right, short it is.Copy !req
137. You're... You're some kind of monster!Copy !req
138. This isn't right!
Let's take her to the hospital!Copy !req
139. - Sis!
- Kirie!Copy !req
140. Honey, we have to get her
to the hospital!Copy !req
141. I can't breathe!Copy !req
142. Her hair is angry!
It's strangling her because it's mad!Copy !req
143. It's killing her for trying to cut it
or trying to go to the hospital!Copy !req
144. Don't be ridiculous!Copy !req
145. You're saying that she's
strangling herself?Copy !req
146. Honey, Mitsuo might be right.Copy !req
147. What's the matter?Copy !req
148. Say something!Copy !req
149. Ms. Goshima...Copy !req
150. You there!
What's with that hair?Copy !req
151. Ms. Goshima...Copy !req
152. Just you wait, I'll attract
even more attention than you.Copy !req
153. You won't believe what Sluggo
ate for breakfast!Copy !req
154. Weeds in the chicken coop!Copy !req
155. - Come on, "Sluggo"?
- That's harsh, even for you, Tsumura!Copy !req
156. I can't take this anymore...Copy !req
157. He hasn't come home for two days.
He was here at the school this whole time?Copy !req
158. This is your son.Copy !req
159. Don't be absurd!
That's not our son!Copy !req
160. I don't buy it!
Is this some sick joke?Copy !req
161. - Come on, we're leaving!
- Right!Copy !req
162. Katayama...Copy !req
163. Guys!Copy !req
164. Wait for me!Copy !req
165. Shuichi...Copy !req
166. Boo!Copy !req
167. Goshima! Please accept
this token of my affection!Copy !req
168. I'm sorry,
but I can't accept this.Copy !req
169. I wish you'd at least open it
and see what's inside.Copy !req
170. I'm already seeing someone.
You need to stop this.Copy !req
171. What can I do to make you
understand how I feel about you?Copy !req
172. I know!Copy !req
173. Watch this, Goshima!Copy !req
174. I'll stop that car
with the power of my love!Copy !req
175. Yamaguchi!Copy !req
176. I love you...Copy !req
177. I hear Jack-in-the-Box
got killed by a car!Copy !req
178. Yeah, can you believe it?Copy !req
179. I hear his body got wrapped around the
front wheel and was crushed to a pulp.Copy !req
180. Not again!Copy !req
181. Oh, man!
Katayama got out of his pen!Copy !req
182. No, wait!Copy !req
183. That's...Copy !req
184. - ... Tsumura!
- ... Tsumura!Copy !req
185. Ms. Goshima!Copy !req
186. What do you think?
Am I worth looking at now?Copy !req
187. I won't play second fiddle to you.
Let's see who's best.Copy !req
188. Come on, let's see what
you've got, Ms. Goshima!Copy !req
189. Ms. Sekino, I'm not interested
in competing with you...Copy !req
190. Only one of us can be
the center of attention!Copy !req
191. Looking at you makes me sick!Copy !req
192. Kirie!Copy !req
193. Kirie!Copy !req
194. Hang on, I'll cut it off!Copy !req
195. Now I'm the center of attention
in this town!Copy !req
196. Look at me!
Look at me, everyone!Copy !req
197. I'm so tired...Copy !req
198. But I need more...Copy !req
199. Even more... attention...Copy !req
200. Kirie!Copy !req
201. Shuichi?Copy !req
202. This is bad!
Katayama and Tsumura got loose!Copy !req
203. If we don't find them fast
and exterminate them,Copy !req
204. we're all in big trouble!Copy !req
205. Mr. Yokota!Copy !req
206. Mr. Yokota!
Please don't kill them!Copy !req
207. These are eggs they laid
after they mated!Copy !req
208. Mated? But they're both males!Copy !req
209. There's no gender distinction
with snails!Copy !req
210. If these things hatch,
all hell will break loose in town!Copy !req
211. Stop it!
Don't smash their eggs!Copy !req
212. They aren't human anymore!Copy !req
213. They're snail people!
That's my name for them!Copy !req
214. Everything's gone crazy...Copy !req
215. Kazunori...Copy !req
216. Where are you going?
You're in no shape to go anywhere!Copy !req
217. The train station! Kazunori and Yoriko
are getting out of town!Copy !req
218. Getting out of town?Copy !req
219. Yes. They're getting out here.
I want at least them to escape.Copy !req
220. Running away together is the smart decision,
but are you sure they're coming?Copy !req
221. They should be here any minute.
He said they were taking the 6:30 train.Copy !req
222. What's wrong?
Why are you running?Copy !req
223. Our parents spotted us
sneaking out of the house.Copy !req
224. Our fathers are chasing after us!Copy !req
225. They already have people
staking out the station!Copy !req
226. What can we do?Copy !req
227. Let's go along the coast!
We'll help!Copy !req
228. Shuichi...!Copy !req
229. There they are!Copy !req
230. This way!Copy !req
231. Kazunori! Stop this nonsense at once!
Turn around and come home!Copy !req
232. Dad! Get out of our way!Copy !req
233. Found 'em!Copy !req
234. Kazunori! Run for it!Copy !req
235. - Come back here!
- Kazunori!Copy !req
236. Come back here!Copy !req
237. I... I can't...Copy !req
238. run any farther!Copy !req
239. Yoriko...Copy !req
240. Little twerp, how many times am I gonna
have to beat sense into you?Copy !req
241. Kazunori...Copy !req
242. We're going to be
pulled apart again, aren't we?Copy !req
243. No.Copy !req
244. We're staying together this time.Copy !req
245. We'll twist our bodies!Copy !req
246. Like this!Copy !req
247. Yoriko!Copy !req
248. Yoriko!Copy !req
249. - Give me your hand!
- Kazunori!Copy !req
250. What in the name of—Copy !req
251. Yoriko!
Hang on, I'll get you out!Copy !req
252. It's too tight!
It's like a steel cable!Copy !req
253. Dad, stop it.Copy !req
254. We'll never be apart again.Copy !req
255. You're right.
We'll be together forever.Copy !req
256. Excuse me, is something wrong?Copy !req
257. Hm? What makes you think
something is wrong?Copy !req
258. I'm on my way home.
It's the strangest thing, though.Copy !req
259. I keep walking and walking,
but never seem to get there.Copy !req
260. Somebody help me!
I can't walk in a straight line!Copy !req
261. I hear the black lighthouse
suddenly lit up last night.Copy !req
262. But it's been sitting broken for years.
I wonder when they fixed it.Copy !req
263. I hear that anyone who looks
into the light goes crazy!Copy !req
264. Wow, really? That's scary!Copy !req
265. Mr. Yokota!Copy !req
266. He turned into
a snail person himself...Copy !req
267. Sis! Come quick!Copy !req
268. What is it this time?Copy !req
269. It must have run aground
sometime last night.Copy !req
270. But the seas were calm.
And the lighthouse was lit up.Copy !req
271. The way I hear it,
after it ran aground,Copy !req
272. her three crewmen were
walking in circles on the deck.Copy !req
273. Afterwards, they fell
into the water.Copy !req
274. They pulled one out,
but the others are still missing.Copy !req
275. Speaking of missing,Copy !req
276. city hall sent five experts to check out
the lighthouse last night.Copy !req
277. No one's heard from them since.Copy !req
278. Mitsuo?Copy !req
279. Mitsuo!Copy !req
280. Mitsuo!Copy !req
281. Come down this instant!Copy !req
282. This stairway is so cool!Copy !req
283. Let's go higher, Mitsuo!Copy !req
284. Yeah!Copy !req
285. I guess I have to go up...Copy !req
286. It's strange...
This doesn't make sense.Copy !req
287. No matter how far I climb,
I never reach the top.Copy !req
288. It's like I'm going around
and around in a circle.Copy !req
289. Plus, something smells burnt...Copy !req
290. I feel like I'm going crazy...Copy !req
291. Help us!Copy !req
292. Mitsuo!Copy !req
293. Mitsuo and our friend
kept going.Copy !req
294. They wanted to
explore some more.Copy !req
295. - I'll get them, you two go down first.
- Okay.Copy !req
296. Hurry back down!Copy !req
297. Sis, I'm scared...!
The spiral is staring at us!Copy !req
298. This is the lighthouse's lens.Copy !req
299. A Fresnel lens should be made up
of concentric circles, though...Copy !req
300. I wonder what made it
look like that.Copy !req
301. It's like the whole thing
is warped and distorted.Copy !req
302. And those bodies down there...Copy !req
303. Oh, no!Copy !req
304. Both of you, start climbing down!Copy !req
305. The light comes on at sundown! We have
to get out of here before then!Copy !req
306. What? Why?Copy !req
307. That light must be incredibly hot!Copy !req
308. Hot enough to melt glass!
And hot enough to—Copy !req
309. Hurry! Move, start climbing down!Copy !req
310. What's going on?
What's gonna happen?Copy !req
311. I'll explain later, just run!Copy !req
312. It's coming...Copy !req
313. The heat is coming!Copy !req
314. Don't stop! Run!Copy !req
315. Kid!Copy !req
316. The light from the lighthouse
that had awoken from its long slumberCopy !req
317. spread out ever so slowly,Copy !req
318. washing over us as we were being
swallowed up by the spiral.Copy !req
319. It washed over our town,Copy !req
320. and we were helpless
to resist it.Copy !req
321. Doujou-ji, Doujou-jiCopy !req
322. All dried upCopy !req
323. Doujou-ji, Doujou-jiCopy !req
324. A spiral swirls aboveCopy !req
325. A spiral swirls belowCopy !req
326. Beneath the pond
of the dragonfly,Copy !req
327. go down the stairs
and complete the cycleCopy !req
328. All dried upCopy !req
329. Doujou-ji, Doujou-jiCopy !req
330. Boo!Copy !req
