00:00The Mihoi
00:30Step right up, ladies and gentlemen,
00:34for an hour of non-stop fun and laughter
00:36with the Royal Emperor of Mirth.
00:38Come on in, the show's just about to start.
00:41Live on stage, humor and fun for all.
00:44Something to lighten up your day.
00:46In fact, lighten up your whole life.
00:48Jokes are one thing you can take with us to the afterlife.
00:50Then I won't have any use for them.
00:52Ah, we can buy our way into paradise
00:55by telling the Almighty a joke or two.
00:58The Almighty doesn't want to know me.
01:00Well, if you feel that,
01:02there's always the Prince of Hell.
01:04You can buy your way in there instead.
01:06Oh, my God!
01:06Oh, my God!
01:06Oh, my God!
01:36Hey, you!
01:39Huh?
01:43On your feet, what are you up to?
01:46I'm just trying to keep warm.
01:48I've been watching you for some time,
01:50wondering about...
01:51I'm looking for somebody.
01:53And who might that be?
01:55I'm not sure.
01:56I'll know when I find him.
01:57Come on, boy, you're coming with me.
01:59What for?
02:00We'll find out why you're hanging about.
02:02Extra, extra, read all about it.
02:04State of emergency declared as Prime Minister dies.
02:06Army calls...
02:07What's where you're going, you fool?
02:10I'm sorry, officer.
02:11Not as sorry as you're going...
02:13Hey!
02:13Hey!
02:14Stop that kid!
02:15Stop!
02:16Come back here!
02:17I've got to find a new partner who's been allotted to me.
02:47Halt!
03:01There's a saboteur threatening our tank formation!
03:04I can't let them take me.
03:05No matter what.
03:06This is your last warning.
03:09Fire!
03:17Why must I be...
03:19He's dead.
03:35Men of the armed forces, remain loyal to our beloved emperor.
04:02Criminal revolutionaries may try to persuade you to turn your backs on your duty
04:07and join them in their treacherous attempt to overthrow the state's authority.
04:12But do not listen to them.
04:13They are acting for their own selfish ends, and their insurrection will fail.
04:19Sounds bad.
04:20The winter isn't producing the only blizzard.
04:23No.
04:24That doesn't matter to Toa.
04:26She'll die anyway.
04:28I've done everything I can.
04:29You're such a brilliant doctor.
04:31There must be something more.
04:33There's not, I'm afraid.
04:35It's hopeless.
04:36Sawa, why are you looking at me like that?
05:01Let me help you.
05:07I know I'm dying.
05:09It's nearly over.
05:10I won't see the spring sunshine or feel its warmth.
05:15I wish it didn't have to end like this.
05:18You're my twin sister, Toa, and I won't let it end without a fight.
05:21And so I found a special medicine.
05:23The only secret I've never shared with you, or anyone, is the site of the cave on Mermaid Hill,
05:32where great-grandfather...
05:33Drink this.
05:37It's mermaid's blood.
05:40Legend says that if you eat the flesh of a mermaid, you will live for all eternity.
05:46I've no flesh, only this blood to give you.
05:49I know it'll help.
05:53Drink it.
05:53Remove the saboteur's body.
06:19Yes, sir.
06:19But where's he gone?
06:37Who knows?
06:38He was certainly dead.
06:39What's happening to me?
06:57Help me!
06:58No!
06:59Toa!
07:10Toa!
07:11Doctor!
07:13Look!
07:15My whole body's burning!
07:17Do something for me!
07:19I'm turning into a...
07:20a monster!
07:22Sawa!
07:23What did you give her?
07:25Mermaid's blood.
07:26I had to.
07:27To save her life.
07:30Help me!
07:33Help me!
07:37Cheryl?
07:41Oh, no.
08:11Oh, no.
08:41Oh, no.
09:11Are you saying no matter how many times you've died, you always come back to life?
09:16Yes.
09:17I can't remember how often it's been in the past centuries.
09:22Now I'll do the same thing.
09:24I can't begin to imagine how it'll feel being reborn.
09:27Will I like it?
09:28No one likes it.
09:29You just accept it.
09:37Huh?
09:38Poor pussy, why are you meowing?
09:48Can we keep it?
09:50It seems so lonely.
09:51As lonely as we've been, but it'll die soon.
09:54It won't come back as we have to?
09:57No.
09:58It's luckier than we are.
10:00It'll only live for a short time?
10:02Yes.
10:03Only for a short time.
10:05Can I just play with it?
10:07Till it leaves you.
10:08Where are you going?
10:30Come here.
10:31Come here.
10:36Huh?
10:37Huh?
11:07Huh?
11:09Mana!
11:11Excuse me!
11:13A friend of mine's disappeared!
11:15If she had an accident, this is where they'll have brought her.
11:19Do you mean to say even though she was injured, she walked out of here?
11:23Yes.
11:25They brought her to me and I found she was very slightly concussed.
11:29She rested a while and then insisted on leaving.
11:31Without leaving her name?
11:33Yes.
11:35I'm sorry, but I'm very busy.
11:37So, if you'll excuse me, I have a house call to make.
12:07So, he's taking the old cliff road.
12:09Hmm?
12:11It means he's going to the Carnegie Mansion.
12:13Huh?
12:15An old woman lives up there alone.
12:17She must be well over 70.
12:19She had a twin sister, but I heard she died a long time ago.
12:23You know, apart from the doctor, she's never had anyone visiting her for years, as far as I know.
12:43She never gets any mail, never comes to town.
12:53Ah, gotta get home before this gets any heavier.
12:57She looks asleep, not dead.
12:59She looks asleep, not dead.
13:25The girl had fallen 100 feet, and died at once.
13:31She's the youngest we've ever had.
13:35And the most beautiful.
13:37There have been so many, I can't keep count.
13:41One every three years, ever since that terrible day all that time ago.
13:53How many more arms are to be amputated?
14:09Ask her.
14:10We go on until we find a mermaid.
14:13But you can't meet that.
14:15You know I do.
14:16And you also know there must be one somewhere on our estate.
14:19There is not.
14:21I've told you there isn't.
14:23Then where did you find the mermaid's blood?
14:27If you have nothing else to say, then don't interfere at all.
14:31I've told you.
14:32My arm's hurting.
14:33I can't stand it.
14:34Hurry, Doctor.
14:35Hurry.
14:36She moved.
14:37Impossible.
14:38She's still alive.
14:39But I'm certain she was dead.
14:40She's still alive.
14:41But I'm certain she was dead.
14:45Hmm?
14:46She's still alive.
14:49Huh?
14:51She
14:51Was just nothing, too.
14:53Uh...
14:54Huh?
14:56She's still alive.
14:57But I'm certain she was dead.
15:03She's still alive.
15:11Huh?
15:13Uh...
15:14Where am I?
15:31So this is proof the legend of the mermaid's flesh is real.
15:44Is she here?
15:54This garden stinks of death.
16:14Shiro, find it.
16:29It was the mermaid's blood I drank that produced this monster's claw, but a mermaid's flesh
16:38will cure me.
16:39All the pain in my arm.
16:50Shiro, can't you find me a mermaid?
16:54If Sawa could find one in mermaid forest, why can't you?
16:57Mermaid forest?
17:00Who's there?
17:01What do you want?
17:04I'm looking for a friend of mine.
17:06Are you a young girl by any chance?
17:10You know about her?
17:12She is here then.
17:14Answer me.
17:16Where's Mana?
17:20I know she came here.
17:25Toa!
17:26Toa!
17:28There's a good boy.
17:30Go now.
17:31We heard someone scream and thought maybe it hurt your arm.
17:48No.
17:49Something terrible's happened.
17:51God.
17:52God.
17:53He's dead.
17:54He's dead.
17:55He's dead.
17:56He's dead.
17:57He's dead.
17:58He's dead.
17:59Tell me the truth.
18:00Did you?
18:01Kill him?
18:02I never touched him.
18:04Look at his throat.
18:05It was torn out by some wild animal.
18:35He's gone too far.
18:47Cutting up those dead bodies.
18:49So much death at our door.
18:51Why do you do it for her?
18:54Where?
18:55I love her.
18:58Nothing's changed in all these years.
19:01And it will never change.
19:24More, please.
19:32But won't it hurt you to eat so much so soon?
19:36Why should it?
19:40I eat what I like.
19:41Which is just how it should be.
19:43You've no idea how envious I feel about your young buddy.
19:46Huh?
19:51Is something wrong?
19:52Hey, will you stop staring at me like that?
19:56I didn't mean to offend you.
20:01I can't help wondering how you...
20:04How you could come back to life again after the fall you had.
20:09It's enough to know that I did.
20:10I don't need to explain it.
20:13I feel quite jealous when I look at you.
20:16Hmm, Sawa?
20:22So, you have no family?
20:26No.
20:28Then, stay here with us.
20:30We could live together like two sisters.
20:33I can't.
20:34I must go.
20:35Yuta will be waiting for me.
20:37I must try to find him.
20:40But, he'll look as well.
20:42Eventually he's bound to come this way.
20:45Hmm, he might.
20:47So, why don't you stay here and wait for him?
20:50I could.
20:52It's so lonely for me living here with no one but that hateful old hag.
20:57I've only got Yuta, but I don't feel lonely.
21:01This boy, Yuta, is he your boyfriend?
21:05What?
21:06No, he isn't.
21:07We're only friends.
21:09Really?
21:11I'm traveling with him.
21:16What's that?
21:18Huh?
21:20It looks like a pool of blood.
21:32What's wrong?
21:33I'm ill.
21:36I'm burning.
21:39What is it?
21:40Is it fever?
21:41Yes.
21:42But it's more than that.
21:44I shan't last much longer.
21:45It's terrible.
21:47Do you mean death?
21:51If only that were all.
21:53But it isn't.
21:56I shall burn in hell alive.
22:04No, no, no.
22:07No, no.
22:09No, no.
22:11No.
22:28No.
22:29Oh, my God.
22:59Oh, my God.
23:09Nightmare.
23:15What's wrong, Toa?
23:18Doctor, I need your help.
23:23The dream, the same dream.
23:26I can't help. You're beyond my skills.
23:30You must never reproach yourself. It's not your fault.
23:38Here.
23:40She has eaten it. She must have tasted mermaid's flesh.
23:48Or it could be a miracle of nature.
23:50To live eternally. Do you believe it's possible?
23:54Help me!
24:02I can't stand anymore!
24:04I'll give you a shot of more feet.
24:06No!
24:08No!
24:12That's no use.
24:14Nothing is.
24:16Except...
24:18I don't want to be a monster.
24:20It's taking over my whole being.
24:22Help me!
24:24Give me hers.
24:30Give me her arm.
24:32I can't do that.
24:33I can't cut the arm off a living girl.
24:35Is that what you want?
24:36Yes.
25:06I'm not the sun.
25:07I can't die at night and then rise again, newborn next day, only to die again.
25:19Mermaids live under God's special protection.
25:33It's worth risking his anger to eat one and gain eternal life.
25:36I can't help thinking of all the money I could earn if only death wasn't waiting.
25:41And think of all the women I haven't loved.
25:45What's wrong with you, Yuta? Don't you like the idea?
25:48You don't know what you're doing.
25:50I know I want to go on living.
25:52Do you?
25:54You mightn't be so pleased with your bargain when a few hundred years have gone by.
25:58Look!
26:18Get ready!
26:19Yeah!
26:20Yeah!
26:21Yeah!
26:22Yeah!
26:23Yeah!
26:24Yeah!
26:25Yeah!
26:26Yeah!
26:27Yeah!
26:28Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
26:33Eat it, Judah, and you'll be immortal.
27:03They've been poisoned by the meat.
27:22They're both dying.
27:31Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
27:39Oh, my God.
28:09Oh, my God.
28:39Oh, my God.
29:09Oh, my God.
29:39It must have eaten enough poison to turn it into a monster, but not to kill it.
29:53My beautiful Shiro, you're the only one who can even begin to understand what I'm going through.
29:59For when you drank the mermaid's blood, you shared the same fate inflicted on me.
30:04I knew it.
30:05I knew no ordinary beast attacked me.
30:09It had to be some monster.
30:11So you, too, are immortal.
30:13You've eaten mermaid's flesh.
30:15It's simply the way I am.
30:17But if I ate some, would I be immortal?
30:23Where is my friend?
30:24What have you done with my friend, Manna?
30:27Nothing.
30:28She's in the bathroom preparing herself for me.
30:30What's that supposed to mean?
30:36I'll tell you if you'll answer this.
30:39Can an immortal live, though her head's being cut off?
30:42Tell me.
30:43I can tell you.
30:45I can tell you.
30:45You're quite mad.
30:50No, I'm not mad.
30:52Just desperate with pain.
30:56Shiro, I'm sure your hunger hasn't been satisfied.
31:00Tear off his head and eat it.
31:01Wait.
31:10Don't touch Manna.
31:12Don't touch her.
31:13Don't touch her.
31:31Don't touch her.
31:53Enjoying yourself?
31:55May I stay and talk to you?
31:56If you like.
31:57Let me wash your back.
32:03Come and sit here, and I'll rinse down your back for you.
32:06I'm clumsy with only one good hand.
32:08But let me try.
32:17I think I must go in the morning.
32:20Why?
32:21To try and find Yuta.
32:23He's bound to be worried about losing me.
32:25Yes, but you mustn't.
32:27No.
32:54Where...
32:55Where is he?
32:56You'll see him soon.
32:58What makes you so sure?
33:00Well, I've got a plan to reunite you with him.
33:05There's not a blemish on your body.
33:08Your skin feels like silk.
33:19That was a mistake.
33:25That was a mistake.
33:55That was a mistake.
34:26You want to switch heads?
34:30Yes. Mine for hers.
34:32I know you can do it.
34:33That's absurd.
34:35If just the arm is replaced, it'll become a monstrous claw again soon.
34:39But now something else is happening. I've begun to feel my whole body being increasingly affected.
34:47I'll pack your hand up.
34:48I'll pack your hand up.
34:50And what about the rest of me?
34:52I'm afraid. You've been my one support through everything I've suffered.
34:58Why have you sacrificed yourself?
35:01Answer me.
35:03Because...
35:04Because I...
35:05Because I love you.
35:07If you do, then help me this last time.
35:12Don't desert me now.
35:14Give me her body and with it, eternal life.
35:19Sawa, I know you're out there.
35:31Why don't you come in?
35:32Don't listen to her.
35:34Don't listen to her.
35:35Don't do it.
35:36You can't.
35:37And who says so?
35:39The girl's still alive.
35:41You can't simply murder her.
35:43Well, you're a fine one to lecture me.
35:48So, why are we waiting?
36:13Why have you tied me?
36:25There's a big difference between us.
36:28We're both beautiful.
36:30But I spend my days in agony.
36:33While you bask in the glow of eternal life,
36:36I'm going to turn into a monster,
36:38while you will remain lovely always.
36:41That isn't fair.
36:44So, I'm going to take your body.
36:46Then I will live forever.
36:55No, Tala.
36:56Stop.
36:57I'll show you.
36:58I'll take you to the cave where I got the mermaid's blood.
37:02So, you've finally given in to me.
37:11I'm with you.
37:13I'm with you.
37:15I'm with you.
37:16I'm with you.
37:17I'm with you.
37:18I'm with you.
37:19You're going to come here.
37:20Don't you?
37:21Beek.
37:22I'm with you.
37:23And we're too late.
37:24So, you're still going to be in the cave...
37:25It stinks of rotten fish.
37:49How I've longed for this moment to come.
37:54What was that?
37:55That noise.
37:57I heard nothing.
37:59No one is going to come to your rescue.
38:25Oh my God, a mermaid.
38:37A mermaid.
38:39Great-grandfather netted it by accident and kept it here.
38:42Now we'll see if it's true that a person who eats its flesh will become an immortal like her.
38:51Let's finish what you started when you gave me some of her blood to cure me of my fever.
38:56Toa, don't harm her!
39:17Now, little immortal, jump down and bring me a piece of that flesh.
39:25It's lucky I'm immortal or you could have killed me!
39:37What's that monster?
39:48What is it?
39:48I can't be certain.
39:49When you discovered this cave and found that cursed blood, it must have been here then.
39:55It has eaten mermaids' flesh.
40:05Where's Shiro?
40:07What have you...
40:08What have you done to him?
40:09Some who eat it die.
40:11Those who take less, like you, like Shiro, are transformed and condemned to live out their years as monsters.
40:19I pity him.
40:21I pity you.
40:24And your fate.
40:25Do you mean I'll become a monster?
40:30Oh, my dear.
41:00Run, mana! Run towards me!
41:30And now, finally, I shall have mermaid's flesh.
41:44It's poisonous. Don't touch it.
41:56Caw, get back!
41:59It isn't possible.
42:12It was still living.
42:14Still living after so many years.
42:16There was no escape for it.
42:28Don't eat!
42:29Caw, it's for you.
42:42Eat it, Caw.
42:44I never wanted it for myself,
42:46but for my loving sister who tricked me into drinking mermaid's blood.
42:50Then what you want is revenge.
42:53It was you.
42:54It's you who wanted immortality.
42:57But you were too afraid.
43:00Too afraid to risk everything.
43:03I was reading a book.
43:24I wonder if mermaids exist.
43:26What?
43:27The book said if you eat mermaid's flesh, you'll never die.
43:32I shall eat it.
43:34No matter what it costs.
43:38Why are you so determined?
43:39Don't you want to be like you are now, forever?
43:42I don't think so.
43:43Then you're stupid.
43:44Eh?
43:44I always want to be young.
43:48It's terrible to think of growing old.
43:55I want to live forever.
43:59Hmm.
43:59But I'm frightened.
44:06You knew what that monster was.
44:09You knew all those years ago.
44:11It was our great-grandfather.
44:15He'd eaten the captured mermaid's flesh.
44:17You thought that it could affect you in the same way.
44:21I was ill, so you decided to test it on me.
44:24On purpose?
44:26I'm sure you're wrong.
44:27No, I'm not.
44:29It's true.
44:30We're twins.
44:31So who better to be your guinea pig?
44:34We were almost one being,
44:35so if the mermaid's blood didn't harm me,
44:37it would be safe for you.
44:41I'm not.
44:42No.
44:42No.
44:43Because they are fragile.
44:45Oh.
44:45No.
44:46No.
44:49You're not.
45:04I'm not.
45:07Ha, ha, ha, ha.

45:31but I won't let you go so easily

45:43or else you'll live forever

48:15Huh?
48:28Looks as though the house has gone too.
48:31Yes.
48:33And I think maybe it's just as well that its awful secrets have been destroyed.
48:38What's it like to be dead?
48:42Perhaps it means to be free of our chains.
48:44Those chains that keep us bound through life.
48:48Like what?
48:51Hatred.
48:52Bitterness.
48:54The desire for revenge.
48:56But I don't feel tied down by those things at all.
49:00Most people are, but you're different.
49:02How do you make that out?
49:04You're like a bird flying freely.
49:08Hmm.
49:10Look!
49:11Shooting stars!
49:14Huh?
49:15Huh?
49:16Huh?
49:17Huh?
49:18Huh?
49:19Huh?
49:20Huh?
49:45But that's...
49:46Toa?
49:47Yes, she's returned to the mermaid forest, in the depths of the sea.
49:51Her soul, if not her body, is immortal.
49:56Eternal?
49:58Yes, eternal.
50:09As a matter of interest, Yuta, how long is eternity?
50:12The answer is in the question. Until the end of time.
50:15Until the end of time?
50:17Until the end of time? But that's forever and ever.
50:19That's right.
50:21Will all human beings on the earth be dead by then?
50:24Hmm.
50:26But wait a minute. Will we still be alive?
50:29Probably.
50:31Just the two of us?
50:32Tell me this then.
50:37What?
50:38Will we be lonely when there's only two of us?
50:41Well...
50:42Not with two of us.
50:44But suppose you didn't have me.
50:46In that case you might be.
50:47What would you do?
50:49Hmm...
50:51Find you.
50:52Huh?
50:53Say you couldn't find me.
50:55Oh, I could.
50:56And if you couldn't, what would you do?
50:57Keep on looking.
51:01Suppose you still couldn't find me.
51:03I'd look a bit more.
51:04Alright, and then?
51:06Then, I'd look for you.
51:08I'd look my whole life long.
51:10For all eternity.
51:11This conversation's hopeless.
51:13But thanks.
51:41Bye.
51:42Bye.
51:43Bye.
52:11Bye.
52:41Bye.
53:11Bye.
