have to wear a frilly hat.

You can't wear a--

I can pull off

a frilly hat.

You don't think

i could pull off a frilly hat?

- You'll look like a girl.

- I don't care.

I can handle frilly

and feathers.

Go for it.

Hey.

- Hey.

We finally received the results

from the tests,

and...

...the mass was non-malignant.

How are you feeling?

Um, after that

i feel pretty great.

You dealing with the pain okay?

Yeah, it's...

...just a little sore here.

It's gonna sting a little.

So...

...the plan is still

to transport you

over to the recovery unit

at St. Mary's.

Thank you.

Listen, okay?

Listen.

Have this on you.

I'll call you on the way

so you have some company,

okay?

It's okay if she has the phone

in there, right?

- Yeah, sure.

- Okay.

You got the car?

Right behind you, baby.

Okay.

Call me.

I hope to even text you

inappropriate photos

while I'm driving

tonight!

Tonight!

You're crazy.

Cheeseburger, Margarita,

little dancing.

Are you there?

Mm-hmm.

- Hi.

- Are you cozy?

Are you cozy up there?

- Yeah.

- I am right behind you, baby.

- I can see you.

- You can see me?

Through those dark

tinted windows?

Yeah, I can see a little bit.

Oh, wave.

Can you wave?

You can't see me,

I'm sure.

No, I don't.

I don't see you.

My god, it's weird.

It's bumpy in here.

You've never ridden in the back

of an ambulance before?

No, actually.

Not even as a kid?

No, never.

Why is that so hard to believe?

It's not hard to believe

that you've never

been in the back

of an ambulance before.

It's just hard to believe

that I had no idea...

...that you've never been in the

back of an ambulance before.

Well, I'm sure there's things

about you I don't know.

You know,

I somehow doubt that.

Okay.

What's your favorite color?

Oh, now you're messing with me.

Like you don't know

my favorite color?

Huh?

What's mine?

Your favorite color is...

...um...

You got me.

Hi, my name is Arthur.

Um, nice to meet you.

Who is this beautiful person--

Joan!

Joan!

Joan!

I hear you.

I hear you.

I read you.

I'm here.

Stairway, stairway, s...

Stairway...

Stairway, stairway...

Rakuen kaidan...

K-kaidan...

Kaidan.

Hey...

Ha...

Sir? Sir?

Are you okay, sir?

Yeh... yeh... yeh...

You have to get him.

He... he... he's still in there.

He... he's still in there.

He's still in there.

He...

He's still in there.

Mr. Brennan?

Sir?

We're locking up

for the evening.

I'm sorry.

Can I get another minute?

Of course.

It was very well attended.

She obviously was very loved.

I didn't know her.

I'm sorry?

My wife.

I didn't really know her.

I mean, i-i-i knew...

...you know, the date

her car insurance

needed to be renewed...

...and her

social security number...

Thing-things

that seemed important.

I didn't know her favorite...

...her favorite color.

I don't know

her favorite season.

I don't know her favorite book.

It was a children's story.

I overheard her sisters

talking about it earlier.

Apparently one of them

ordered it for her recently.

No mention of a favorite color

or season, though.

I'm sorry.

Take your time, sir.

We do play baseball, you know.

Yes.

This is more entertaining.

If you say so.

Let me take a look.

It's healing nicely.

How are you feeling?

Better.

Better is good.

Better is very good.

Glasses.

Look at my finger.

It's bright.

It's a light shining

right in your eyeball.

It should be.

Good.

Don't tell me

you're playing along.

No, this is s-

this is something else.

Channel five.

It's the seventh inning.

Why did you go to aokigahara?

It wasn't working.

What wasn't?

Moving on.

Do you still want

to end your life?

No.

What do you plan to do

after you leave the hospital?

Go back to the forest.

I made a promise to someone

and I'm going to keep it.

You are speaking of the other

person who was with you?

I have to find him.

As I understand it,

the park rangers already tried.

It's a... it's a big forest.

Trust me.

There's a video camera

in the parking lot.

I know.

I saw it.

And it saw you on the day

you entered the forest.

The rangers

reviewed the footage

from the day

you say he entered.

No one entered aokigahara

that day.

Look.

I was there with someone.

I mean, I don't know...

...which particular way

he entered the forest.

I don't know what particular

day he got there.

I do know that when I left him

he was dying.

The fact remains,

without any visual confirmation

we have no way

of identifying him,

and therefore, no way

of notifying his family.

His name was takumi Nakamura.

There are thousands

with that name.

He had a family.

He had a wife named kiiro,

and a...

...and a child named fuyu.

Mr. Brennan, there are not...

I'm telling you,

all right,

he's in there somewhere.

I don't doubt that.

You said the rangers

scouted the forest?

Did they find a tent?

I left him

by a tent.

It's been two weeks.

- It's been 12 days.

- Still...

Answer my question.

Did they find a tent?

There was no sign

of the person you described.

Takumi!

Things are not

as they seem here.

This forest

is what you call purgatory.

No one entered the forest

that day.

It is during

our darkest times

that our loved ones

are closest.

Even those who have passed.

Promise me.

Promise me you'll find

the perfect place.

It is said a flower grows

when a soul has crossed over

from this place.

Did you love her?

More than anything

on earth.

She is with you.

This forest holds her

for you.

Thank you

for taking care of me.

I don't know how

to live without her.

You will not have to.

Not forever.

Good morning, sir.

- Good morning.

- Would you like breakfast?

Yes, please.

Cereal or omelette?

Um... omelette.

Yes, sir.

Arigato.

How can I help you?

I just didn't understand

this section on, uh, on...

...column's law.

It's coulomb's law.

It's a good one.

Yeah, I didn't think

any of 'em were good.

No, this one is.

Trust me.

Coulomb's law is based

on electrostatic forces,

all right,

some of the most important

thing in all of the universe,

because...

They keep us together.

Now the question here is

with electrostatic forces

of attraction and repulsion.

They are directly proportional

to what?

Yellow winter.

Yellow winter?

Yeah. Right here...

...on this little slip of paper.

You wrote that, right?

- This?

- Yeah.

Kiiro. Fuyu.

Yellow and winter.

You speak Japanese?

Yeah, I do.

Me and my dad were stationed

in okinawa.

I went to elementary

school there.

These are not names?

No.

No, not really, they're...

...a color and a season.

Professor?

It-it's directly proportional

to the electrical charges,

and it's...

...inversely proportional

to the square of the distance.
