Good for you!

Leave the little girl alone and

come to me!

Shut up!

Get her!

- Come get me!

- Shut up, idiots!

Jesus, forgive these morons.

Jesus?

F*** that!

Don't disgrace the Lord's name!

Forgive me for my sins.

You're all mine!

I'll beat you all up!

We have to stop them!

I want more!

She was divine... She was Maria!

Next moment I was in love.

Move your asses, wimps!

Chapter 2 - Koike

My name is Aya Koike.

I have I 7 occupations.

This keeps away bad spirits.

First I trade in bogus

overpriced religious artefacts.

I'm also the leader of

a bogus charity group.

Do it again!

We need your help!

Again!

And I'm a cocaine dealer...

I traffic cocaine through embassies.

All the money goes to Zero Church.

The truth is

I'm the regional leader.

I'm also the daughter of a man

who is dying.

This man was once known for

being a model Christian.

He had a respectable job.

But not any more.

He's actually not a man anymore.

He's lost the

symbol of his manhood.

Because I snapped it off.

He'd given me many lessons.

I'm sorry!

Discipline!

- Forgive me.

- No!

I'm sorry.

Swear to God!

A long time ago

when I was in class...

this guy I liked looked at me.

It was too much for me, because...

It's a sin!

- I love you.

- Me too...

Say it again.

Me too.

I couldn't hear you.

It was too much for me...

Your body's so obscene!

Say sorry to God!

I'm sorry!

Say you're sorry in the

name of Jesus Christ.

Sorry!

- Say, "Sorry my body's so obscene!"

- I'm sorry!

Say it properly!

"Sorry my body's obscene!"

Sorry my body's obscene.

You want a soul? Ask for it!

Say, "Give it to me!"

- Give it to me!

- Good. Give it to me!

- Give it to me!

- Give it to me!

Louder!

You deserve discipline now.

You're a sinner!

Give it to me!

A sinner!

- Give it to me!

- A sinner!

Give it to me...

Hey, get away!

Do you know what f***ing is?

F***ing is a sin, did you know that?

F***...

And being f***ed.

F***ing is an inhuman act!

Stop having sex, a**holes!

Don't have sex!

Filthy f***ers!

When I came home from the

reformatory...

the man had collapsed from a stroke.

He was absolutely still.

As harmless as a toy.

The joke was, he had a hard-on.

Barely breathing with a hard-on.

It was a perfect way for

him to go.

I left him like that for a while.

I thought he might die.

I could have killed him but

I decided to let him live...

as long as he quit being a man.

So I snapped his erection

off with my hand.

It sounded good but it wasn't

enough so I used scissors.

Then I called the police.

I bullshitted them.

"He fell and broke off his thing.

I wanted to ease the pain".

"I panicked", etcetera.

I went out, feeling liberated

for the first time ever.

That was when I met him.

I found you!

You found me?

I know all about you.

Come with me.

What is this?

The Zero Church.

This is the answer for you.

The answer...

This is the end of your journey.

There they kindly re-educated me.

That's how I became who I am.

He helped open my eyes.

I can see clearly now.

I still often ask him.

Why did you pick me out of the

crowd, that day?

It was your smell.

Smell? What could you smell?

- Original sin.

- Original sin?

Not everybody can see original sins.

Ordinary people don't even

know what they are.

But you were chosen by the

Lord to detect original sins.

The Lord is mischievous and

torments his chosen ones.

One night I found another

original sinner.

- Are you sorry?

- Yes.

How sorry?

It's my original sin.

It was so familiar to me.

Why? I don't know.

Let's go over it again.

I, 2...

To the right!

Left!

I've kept my eye on him ever since.

I couldn't leave him alone.

I don't know why.

Father, I have a confession!

Hey, Yu.

I can increase Zero's believers

with maximum efficiency.

The plan involves the

conversion of a family.

We'll convert a Catholic family.

I found this guy, Yu.

Yu's father is a priest.

He's respected by

many local Catholics.

By converting him, everybody

from his church

would convert to our church too.

Maybe it won't work out

like you think.

Let me carry out my plan!

Like a Shepard separates

the sheep from the goats...

The king separated his people.

On his right hand side

he put sheep.

Goats on his left.

I checked out all the people

around Yu.

Everything was in place.

Let's go.

I followed a girl named Yoko.

She'd help my plan work.

Yoko, it's your turn.

I kick any guy in the ass.

Chapter 3 - Yoko

The name's Yoko. Yoko Ozawa.

I was always so desperate.

I was just some b*tch who kept

falling over 'till I met Kaori.

This one? You'd look good in it.

You chose a good high school.

You look pale. Are you okay?

Hey, are you really okay?

Don't chew gum, that's why you

keep collapsing! Spit it out!

What's wrong with your hair?

It's as messy as a bird's nest!

You look scary.

Don't hunch up! Straighten up

your spine!

That's it, great.

You look like a corpse!

Come on, buck up!

And put a smile on your face.

Each time we moved, I got

a new school uniform.

Yoko!

That new uniform looks cute.

Were you crying?

Your make-up's smeared.

No!

Let's drive around.

I used to live here.

I know this neighbourhood well.

Let's go!

Where have you been?

I moved back here.

Really?

With you back, this town will

be exciting again.

Thanks.

This is my daughter.

What?

You've got a kid?

My ex-lover's daughter.

He was no good.

But I love her so

I took her with me.

You love me more, don't you?

Reporting from Honmoku High.

I 0 hours have passed since

the shooting began.

According to a school official,

at I 0 am today

a second year female student

began shooting.

She was armed...

Yoko, let's dance!

The shooter shot all

her classmates...

I can hear something...

The noise of this world.

Her motivation is still unknown.

Tension rises as...

I was there...

And I closed my eyes.

Invisible bullets are flying

everywhere I go.

Nobody thinks that they'll

be the one who's hit and dies.

But those bullets are flying

all over this peaceful town.

Flying everywhere.

For those who can see the bullets,

death isn't an accident.

It's like a knock on the door.

They know it has come.

Yoko!

The a**hole brought back

another woman.

Don't laugh so much.

But look at her face.

But you're her mother from today.

At my part-time job

I demolish houses.

The job makes me feel good.

Sometimes colleagues tell me

that I get too carried away.

Coz I smash anything I see.

I'd think about the family

who'd once lived there happily.

How they'd fallen apart and

moved out.

The thought makes me both

happy and disgusted.

I get high when I destroy stuff.

I have a dream of

fulfilling my childhood fantasy.

I just destroy everything in sight.

And then there was Kaori.

I figured she was just another

one of those women

who come and go every other month.

Yoko, my daughter.

Nice meeting you, I'm your Mum

from today.

Hi.

Whatever. Let's go.

I don't call the a**hole, "Dad."
