				Oyaji
 Pai... Take this...

				Oyaji
 Someday... I'll make you human...

				Oyaji
 I promise...

				TITLE
 			   "A Changed Life"

				Yakumo
 The gods of fate were definitely having some fun that night...

				Yakumo
 Maybe... If I hadn't have been late for work...

				Keikan
 Hey!  This's a pedestrian area!

				Yakumo
 Heh heh...  'Scuse me!

				Yakumo
 Man, if I'm late, Mama's gonna kill me!

				Yakumo
 Outta the way!  Move it!

				Yakumo
 Sorry!

				Yakumo
 Gangway!  Comin' through!

				Yakumo
 Ow ow ow...

				Yakumo
 Hey...

				Yakumo
 You OK?

				Yakumo
 I, uh, didn't see you...

				Yakumo
 Are you Chinese?  What's your name?

				Pai
 Pai.

				Yakumo
 "Pai," huh?  I'm...

				Yakumo
 Oh, this get-up?

				Yakumo
 Don't worry...  I'm not a transvestite...

				Yakumo
 When I was a kid, mom got fed up with pop and left home.

				Yakumo
 Then, four years ago, dad left for Tibet, and then disappeared...

				Yakumo
 I didn't have much choice, so I got into this line of work.

				Pai
 Very scientific talk...

				Yakumo
 Does she really understand Japanese?

				Yakumo
 Geez, she's filthy...  She ever heard of a bathtub?

				Okama1
 Hey Yakumo, what's with the girl?

				Okama2
 I thought girls weren't your strong suit...

				Okama1
 Well, he IS 16 now...

				Okama1
 Guess he's gotten into the kinky stuff...

				Yakumo
 Knock it off!

				Pai
 Yakumo?

				Yakumo
 Yeah... My name's Yakumo...

				Pai
 Yakumo... Fujii?  Professor Fujii's son, Yakumo?

				Yakumo
 How'd you...?

				Pai
 I found you!  I finally found you!

				Pai
 It's been four years since I left Tibet!

				Yakumo
 What the...?

				Mama
 Asshole!

				Mama
 Don't make the customers cry in here!

				Yakumo
 Mama!  Help me!

				Mama
 Why should I?

				Yakumo
 Hey!

				Okama2
 Eyewww...

				Pai
 Professor Fujii...

				Yakumo
 Dad?!

				Okama2
 She says he's a professor...

				Okama1
 Yakumo's father was famous, wasn't he?

				Yakumo
 Nah... He was just a folklore specialist with a thing for the supernatural...

				Yakumo
 I can understand why mom left him...

				Oyaji
 "How are you, Yakumo?"

				Oyaji
 "I am on my way to Kunmin from Tibet, but, unfortunately,

				Oyaji
 it looks like your father will be leaving this earth right here."

				Oyaji
 "However, the girl who has this letter is looking for you..."

				Oyaji
 "Her name is Pai.  She's a kind girl who nursed me back to health."

				Oyaji
 "More importantly, she is one of the legendary beings that I have spent my
 life searching for,

				Oyaji
 who, it is said, have the power of eternal youth."

				Oyaji
 "She is the last surviving triclops -- the last of the 'Sanjyanunkara.'"

				Yakumo
 The 'Sanjiyanunkara?'

				Oyaji
 "Biologically, the triclopes are a species that evolved differently..."

				Oyaji
 "Commonly, they're 'monsters.'"

				Oyaji
 "Pai still doesn't know how to use the power of eternal youth,

				Oyaji
 but she says she's been alive for about 300 years..."

				Pai
 Hey, professor, Pai wants to become human, too...

				Oyaji
 Sure...  If I can...

				Pai
 Really?!

				Oyaji
 "Long ago, they were fascinated by humans, so, when they found a means of
 doing so,

				Oyaji
 the triclopes took upon themselves the brief lifespan of humans."

				Oyaji
 "Right now, it looks like Pai is the last of the triclopes."

				Pai
 What can Pai do to become human?

				Oyaji
 Take this with you...

				Oyaji
 When I die, my son, Yakumo, will make you human...

				Oyaji
 "To become human, the 'Statue of Humanity,' is necessary.  A picture of it is
 enclosed."

				Oyaji
 "The Statue of Humanity is at a company in Hong Kong called the 'Yogekisha.'"

				Oyaji
 "Please, Yakumo!  Take Pai to Hong Kong to pick up the Statue of Humanity!
 Please"

				Yakumo
 He can't be serious!

				Yakumo
 What's with this "Hong Kong" shit?!

				Yakumo
 He can't tell me to just drop everything...!

				Yakumo
 Why should I do anything for that grubby little...

				Okama
2 It took some work, but I fixed her up a bit...

				Pai
 Don't I look strange, Yakumo?

				Yakumo
 C..cute...

				Yakumo
 But that's got nothing to do with it!

				Yakumo
 There's no such thing as monsters!

				Announcer
 Please look at this!  It suddenly appeared in the skies above the Shinjuku
 area!  What on earth is it?

				Kyakusan
 What the...?

				Pai
 Takuhi!

				Yakumo
 So what's this "Takuhi" thing?!

				Pai
 He's my friend who lives in my staff!

				Yakumo
 Huh?!  Try not to introduce us, OK?

				Pai
 When he gets excited, he loses control -- if we don't calm him down soon,
 he'll get REALLY dangerous!

				Yakumo
 Leave me outta this!

				Pai
 Stop!  Don't you recognize me?!

				Yakumo
 Ow!

				Pai
 Takuhi!  Stop!

				Yakumo
 No way...

				Pai
 N..no...

				Yakumo
 I'm gonna die...

				Pai
 Don't die!  Yakumo!

				Yakumo
 I don't believe it...

				Yakumo
 She really isn't human...

				Pai
 Takuhi!  Calm yourself!

				Yakumo
 I..I could've sworn that that Tahuhi thing...

				Yakumo
 My clothes are wrecked, but I'm not hurt...

				Yakumo
 It wasn't a dream, was it?

				Yakumo
 She was trying to protect me...

				Yakumo
 Hong Kong, huh?

				Yakumo
 Well, we finally made it to Hong Kong!

				Yakumo
 And what the hell's this mark?

				Yakumo
 It's a real pain...

				Pai
 Yakumo!  Hurry!  Hurry!

				Pai
 Let's get to the Yogekisha!

				Yakumo
 What're you smiling about?  I'm in a bad mood...

				Pai
 I'm gonna be human soon!

				Pai
 I'm really happy!

				Yakumo
 Are humans that great?

				Yakumo
 Say, Pai... Why do you want to be a human so badly?

				Pai
 Don't know...

				Pai
 I've wanted it for 300 years, but I forgot why...

				Yakumo
 What an airhead...

				Pai
 Found it, Yakumo!

				Pai
 This is it!

				Yakumo
 Yep, no mistaking it -- this is it!

				Pai
 This Statue of Humanity is here, right?

				Pai
 Pai's gonna be made human, right?

				Ling-Ling
 H..hey!

				Ling-Ling
 Hang on a second, you people!

				Pai
 The Statue of Humanity!

				Yakumo
 Come back here!

				Yakumo
 Aw, shit!

				Pai
 Yakumo!  Look out!

				Ling-Ling
 He must've died on the spot...

				Yakumo
 Yep!

				Yakumo
 Ow...  Huh?

				Yakumo
 Huh?  What happened?

				Pai
 I'm so glad...

				Ling-Ling
 H..hey, you!

				Ling-Ling
 You're OK?

				Yakumo
 Looked like he was about to hit me, but I guess he missed...

				Ling-Ling
 He MISSED?!

				Pai
 The Statue of Humanity is gone!

				Ling-Ling
 So, you're Professor Fujii's son?

				Yakumo
 Yeah.  Well?

				Ling-Ling
 Yeah, this's the one that the professor left...

				Ling-Ling
 He said that it was important for some reason, so he stashed a tracker in it.
 Pretty handy... 

				Yakumo
 So, who were those guys?

				Ling-Ling
 You tell me...

				Yakumo
 So, what does the Yogekisha do?

				Ling-Ling
 We publish a magazine that specializes in the occult.  I'm the assistant
 editor.

				Ling-Ling
 AND the only employee...

				Pai
 This is the thief's house?

				Yakumo
 Man!  That place is huge!

				Ling-Ling
 Antique thieves and a millionaire...  What's the connection...?

				Ling-Ling
 If we pull this off, we ought to be able to collect damages...

				Ling-Ling
 I wonder if this'll sound reasonable...

				Yakumo
 Ling-Ling, hurry up!

				Yakumo
 This place sure is spooky -- I wonder if there are any monsters here...

				Ling-Ling
 C'mon, Yakumo -- unscientific stuff like that don't exist!

				Yakumo
 But didn't you say that the Yogekisha specializes in the occult?

				Ling-Ling
 That's just my job!  If there's money in it, it's OK...

				Yakumo
 Hey!  That's fraud!

				Yakumo
 What's the matter, Pai?

				Pai
 ...feel something...  Pai feels something...

				Pai
 The Statue of Humanity!

				Pai
 The Statue of Humanity...  It's here...

				Pai
 This can make Pai human...

				Ling-Ling
 Who are you?

				Huan
 I'm Huan -- the mistress of this mansion.

				Ling-Ling
 You probably don't feel that way right now...

				Huan
 After my husband died in a freak accident a year ago, strange creatures began
 to appear in the mansion.

				Huan
 And then, wierd things started to happen...  Like what happened to me
 tonight...

				Yakumo
 They're those creatures!

				Yakumo
 They stole this from the Yogekisha!

				Huan
 Now that you mention it, I haven't seen that before.  Certainly a
 strange-looking statue...

				Ling-Ling
 We call it "The Statue of Humanity," but we don't really know much about it.

				Huan
 Is that so...

				Chou
 What are you doing over there?

				Huan
 Chou!

				Chou
 Mistress!

				Chou
 Who are you people?!

				Ling-Ling
 Ah... I'm Ling-Ling Lee of the Yogekisha.

				Ling-Ling
 We traced this antique here, which was just stolen from our company -- but we
 aren't suspicious at all!

				Ling-Ling
 But, first, leave your monster-extermination problems to the professionals!   

				Ling-Ling
 Hmmm...  necessary expenses'd be...  hmmm... quite a bargain at a mere $3000
 a day!

				Yakumo
 Hey!  Didn't you just say that there's no such thing as...

				Ling-Ling
 It's OK if there's money involved!  We found the statue, right?  So butt out!

				Huan
 It doesn't look like they know anything about the statue...

				Chou
 In that case...

				Ling-Ling
 Geez!

				Ling-Ling
 And, if you act now, I'll throw in these high-quality wards!

				Ling-Ling
 They're a bargain in sets of ten, and they're easy to use!

				Chou
 We don't need any!

				Ling-Ling
 Well, I guess we'll be heading back to work now...

				Chou
 That won't be necessary.

				Chou
 I'll just have to kill all of you in self-defense.

				Yakumo
 You've gotta be kidding, old man!

				Chou
 I'm serious.

				Ling-Ling
 So, you admit that you were the thief?

				Chou
 I merely had something that will serve an important purpose brought here.

				Chou
 Time to say goodbye...

				Ling-Ling
 Run!

				Huan
 Do they seriously think that they can escape?

				Yakumo
 Man, Ling-Ling -- you're good!

				Ling-Ling
 Comes from living in Hong Kong!

				Pai
 You said that you don't believe in monsters, but you were still carrying
 around that ward!

				Ling-Ling
 That was business, too!  Business!

				Yakumo
 Shit!  They got me!

				Lackey
 A zombie!

				Peon
 A zombie?

				Lackey
 This guy's a zombie!

				Peon
 A zombie...

				Ling-Ling
 Yakumo!  C'mon!  Move it!

				Ling-Ling
 What happened?!  It looked like you got shot!

				Yakumo
 Zombie...?

				Yakumo
 Hey, Ling-Ling!  Do you know what a "zombie" is?

				Ling-Ling
 "Zombie..."  Now, where have I...

				Ling-Ling
 Oh, yeah!  Professor Fujii!

				Oyaji
 "The Triclopes:  Three-eyed, mystical creatures.  Immortal; beautiful in
 appearance."

				Oyaji
 "Often bewitch the human heart and devour the souls of humans."

				Oyaji
 "The person whose soul has been devoured becomes an undead -- one whose body
 will not die."

				Oyaji
 "And on the forehead of the undead will appear the mark 'Uu.'"

				Ling-Ling
 Heck, people made up that story a long time ago...

				Ling-Ling
 Hmm... I wonder if we'll ever make it out of here...

				Yakumo
 She's right, isn't she?

				Yakumo
 You ATE my soul, didn't you?!

				Ling-Ling
 No way!

				Yakumo
 You ATE my soul, Pai?

				Yakumo
 It's coming again!

				Pai
 I didn't "eat" your soul...

				Pai
 These are just demons that are temporarily phased into this dimensions.

				Yakumo
 Who are you?!  You aren't Pai, are you?!

				Pai
 I didn't "eat" your soul -- I only merged it with my own!

				Yakumo
 My soul... and your soul...?!

				Pai
 That is how I saved you in Shinjuku...

				Pai
 And now that your body is indestructible, I won't need to do so again...

				Pai
 We are now one.

				Pai
 If I die, you will die, too.  If I become human, you, too, will become human
 once more.

				Pai
 What's the point of having a zombie if he can't handle something like this by
 himself...

				Yakumo
 Are you all right?

				Chou
 So, you destroyed my Tohchao, huh?  What the hell are you people?

				Yakumo
 I don't know for sure, but ,somehow, I don't think we're normal humans...

				Chou
 If you give back the Statue of Humanity, I'll let you leave.

				Pai
 No!  This can make Pai human, so it's a really important statue!

				Chou
 Is that so?

				Chou
 Come, Sohkai!

				Chou
 Sohkai!  Kill the punk and the girl!

				Yakumo
 Get out of here...

				Yakumo
 Get out of here, triclops...  You said I should fight by myself, didn't you?

				Pai
 Over here, Mister Monster!  If you don't come this way, I won't give you the
 statue!

				Yakumo
 You idiot!  Stop it!  Get out of here with the statue!

				Yakumo
 If you give it to him, you won't be able to become human!

				Pai
 Hurry!  I don't want to die!

				Yakumo
 Get out of here!  Hurry!

				Yakumo
 Yeah!

				Yakumo
 If I can reach it...

				Pai
 No!

				Chou
 Shut up!  This belongs to Lord Kaiyanwan!

				Yakumo
 Who's this "Kaiyanwan?"

				Chou
 A zombie!

				Chou
 That's ridiculous!

				Ling-Ling
 I wouldn't try to run away.

				Chou
 W..why...?

				Huan
 You killed my husband, didn't you?

				Huan
 I'll take that statue back, now. 

				Pai
 S..stop!

				Chou
 So, you've betrayed me, Shunkai?

				Pai
 Don't die!

				Chou
 Do you think I'm just going to GIVE this to you?!

				Huan
 Chou, you bastard!

				Chou
 If you want to find the statue, you'll have to work for it...

				Yakumo
 Man... We went to all that trouble, and for what...?

				Pai
 It's OK -- at least Yakumo's safe.

				Pai
 But the Stutue of Humanity is gone, isn't it...

				Yakumo
 Just leave it to me!

				Yakumo
 I'll turn you into a human yet!

				Pai
 Really?  Really, Yakumo?

				Yakumo
 Yep.

				Yakumo
 But I have NO idea how...

				Yakumo
 H..hey!  Waitaminute!  That tickles!  Hey!

				Shunkai
 I apologize, Lord Kaiyanwan.  

				Shunkai
 I will get back the Statue of Humanity by the time of your rebirth.

				Shunkai
 Please forgive me.

				Shunkai
 A boy with the mark of the undead...

				Shunkai
 How interesting...
