00:00Hi, Mystery Recaps here. Today, I'm going to explain a mystery drama show called Pending Train.
00:07Spoilers ahead. Watch out and take care.
00:13The show opens in Tokyo on an ordinary morning with several people going about their daily routines.
00:20A hairdresser named Kayashima is about to board a train, wondering whether he should meet a certain person.
00:25At the same time, high school gym teacher Sai stands on the train platform on her way to work.
00:31She is startled when she comes across a man named Shirahama, who is her longtime crush.
00:36However, Shirahama doesn't seem to recognize her, and we learn that he is also waiting for the train.
00:42Not long after, the train arrives and all three of them step inside, along with several other passengers.
00:48Everyone is lost in their own thoughts and mentally planning out their days.
00:52But all of a sudden, an earthquake alert goes off, and chaos ensues as several people and items disappear.
00:59The train then enters a tunnel at high speed, followed by a loud impact sound that violently shakes the passengers.
01:06This causes them to lose their balance and fall to the ground.
01:10Sometime later, the train finally comes to a stop, and the passengers cautiously get up.
01:15They step out of the train, but are forced to find themselves in an unfamiliar forest.
01:19The crowd begins making emergency calls, but there is no signal either.
01:24As panic ensues, Shirahama introduces himself as a firefighter and assures them that everything will be fine.
01:30He then checks on each passenger one by one to ensure that no one was injured in the accident.
01:35Meanwhile, at the station, police discover that a train carriage has mysteriously vanished.
01:40They don't understand how something as massive as a train carriage could vanish without a trace.
01:46Could it have disappeared into the earthquake, sir?
01:48No, no. Don't make sense.
01:50Back at the train, Shirahama decides to enter the tunnel to see if they can find any help.
01:55Sai and Kayashima also offer to accompany him, to which he agrees.
01:59They then begin walking through the tunnel until they reach the end, which shocks them.
02:03There is not a single building there.
02:05All they see is a vast desert and mountainous terrain.
02:09Shortly after, the trio returns to the train and informs the other passengers about what they saw.
02:14This makes the crowd even more terrified, and they believe that they are in another world.
02:20Shirahama then approaches everyone and asks for their names so that he can make a list.
02:24All 46 passengers share their details except for Kayashima, who refuses to reveal his name.
02:31Meanwhile, Sai is impressed by Shirahama and recalls that he visited her school to give firefighter training.
02:37That was the moment she first saw him and started liking him.
02:40Later, a girl named Rina comes across a newspaper article about a murder suspect seen near the train.
02:46She then becomes hungry and checks the bag next to her in hopes of finding some food.
02:51It turns out to be Kayashima's bag, and all she can find is a pair of scissors and a letter from prison.
02:57Rina quickly puts the stuff back where it was and secretly steals food from another bag.
03:02She eats most of the food and hands the plastic bag to Kayashima.
03:06Afterward, the passengers become hungry, so Sai checks her bag to distribute some of her food,
03:11but she is shocked to discover that someone has already stolen it and demands to know who the thief is.
03:17Kayashima is seen with the food bag, so Rina wastes no time in accusing him.
03:21She even reveals how she found a prison letter and weapons in his bag, implying that he's a criminal.
03:27Kayashima denies the accusations, but people don't believe him and become scared.
03:31This greatly disappoints the poor guy, so he decides to leave the group and try to find his way home alone.
03:38Later, the group begins taking out whatever food they have and divides it among themselves equally.
03:43A vlogger guy records everything, because of course there's one of those,
03:47and when he checks some of his earlier footage, he finds Rina stealing a bag of food.
03:51He immediately shows this to the others, and they are shocked to learn that Kayashima is innocent.
03:56However, Rina does not feel guilty and claims she didn't lie about the guy being a criminal.
04:01Sai and Shirahama are enraged at the girl and berate her, after which they set out to find Kayashima.
04:07Meanwhile, Kayashima wanders aimlessly until he comes across a dead-end ravine.
04:12He tries to inspect the surroundings, when the ground beneath him suddenly crumbles, causing him to slip.
04:17Kayashima is now desperately clinging to a tree root, on the verge of falling into the abyss.
04:23But, fortunately for him, Sai and Shirahama arrive just in time and work together to pull him to safety.
04:29Once he's safe, they apologize for not trusting him earlier, and letting him go.
04:33Kayashima responds, he couldn't care less, as he doesn't think of them as friends.
04:39The next day, the passengers are in a desperate situation, as help still hasn't arrived.
04:44They begin scattering through the woods, hoping to find a way out.
04:47In the evening, a high school student reveals that he discovered a discarded can from a product,
04:52with a manufacturing date of 2026.
04:55An old woman named Tanaka adds that he spotted Tokyo Bloom Tower, a structure scheduled for completion in 2026.
05:03Meanwhile, a botanist named Kato reveals that he discovered a plant that should not have been scientifically developed for another 30 years.
05:11Based on these facts, the group speculates that their train has traveled 30 years into the future, where civilization has collapsed.
05:19Uh-oh.
05:20Shortly after, an injured man arrives at the train, and frantically explains that he had found a cart of drinks,
05:26but before he could bring it here, someone stole it from him.
05:29The group immediately suspects Rina again, but she insists that she's innocent this time.
05:34Regardless, they conclude that the thief must be among them, leading to accusations and heated arguments.
05:40Shirahama intervenes to calm the situation, and sets up a tarp to collect rainwater, hoping to capture at least some dew.
05:47Unfortunately, it doesn't rain, placing them in an even more hopeless situation.
05:52The next morning, the train conductor catches Tanaka with a water bottle, and realizes he's the cart thief.
05:58He immediately brings him to the other passengers, and reveals the truth.
06:01Tanaka doesn't deny this, and offers to trade the water for money, since only he knows the location.
06:07But Kayashima grabs the old man, and threatens to kill him, if he continues to be an asshole.
06:12This terrifies Tanaka.
06:14I was just kidding.
06:14And he finally leads the group to the location of the cart.
06:17Everyone is given one water bottle, which makes them happy, but they know it won't last long, and must find a source soon.
06:24The next day, a small group sets out to search for a water source.
06:27They come across a few frogs and damp ground along the way, indicating that they are getting close to their destination.
06:33After hours of walking, Shirahama ties a safety rope, and carefully climbs a cliff, while the others remain on the bottom.
06:40He finally finds a fresh stream of water, and informs the others about it.
06:44However, as Shirahama walks further, he is stunned to see a vast sea nearby, with Mount Fuji visible in the distance.
06:52But this is not the Mount Fuji they remember, as there is no sign of civilization anywhere.
06:58Upon returning to the train, Shirahama shows the picture of Mount Fuji to the passengers.
07:02This leaves them shocked, as it finally confirms their theory of traveling into the future.
07:07They then begin recording tearful messages for their loved ones on their phones, in case they never return.
07:13Meanwhile, Sai approaches Kayashima, and they engage in a heartfelt conversation.
07:18During this, Kayashima opens up about his life, revealing how hard he worked to raise his younger brother, Tatsuya.
07:25He explains that their parents abandoned them, so all they had was each other.
07:29However, as a teenager, Tatsuya became involved in criminal activity, which eventually landed him in juvenile jail.
07:36Kayashima hasn't spoken to him since then, and it has already been two years.
07:40He reveals that the letter from prison was sent by Tatsuya, who is due to be released on the day of the accident.
07:46Upon hearing this, Sai comforts him, and then attempts to record a video message to send to his brother.
07:52But Kayashima refuses, and soon her battery also runs out.
07:56This prompts him to call her foolish, but it is evident that he's beginning to develop feelings for her.
08:01Meanwhile, in the outside world, we see the families of all the missing passengers gathering at the train station, demanding to know their whereabouts.
08:09Tatsuya is also among them, and when he arrives at his brother's salon, he notices flowers left for him.
08:15This infuriates Tatsuya, who angrily declares that his brother is not dead.
08:20In another scene, Tanaka spots a mysterious person in the forest and takes off after them.
08:25This is literally just lost.
08:26But he soon returns and steals Kayashima's hairdressing tools to continue his pursuit.
08:32Tanaka eventually comes back empty-handed, and Kayashima is furious at him for taking his precious tools.
08:38The old man explains that he saw someone wearing a cap who wasn't part of their group.
08:43But Kayashima doesn't believe him.
08:45This sparks a heated argument between the two, but it is cut short when it suddenly begins to rain.
08:50Everyone begins rejoicing in the water, but Tanaka declares that he's had enough and chooses to leave the group.
08:57The next day, Kato leads a foraging team to help judge which wild plants are edible and which are dangerous.
09:03Sai and Rina are seen chatting and collecting berries.
09:06When Sai suddenly becomes ill and collapses to the ground, it turns out that she has eaten a toxic plant that looked like edible berries.
09:14Fortunately, she didn't consume much, and Shirahama helps her vomit it out.
09:19Kayashima then notices Tanaka lurking in the background, observing everything.
09:23The next morning, the group begins to work together to prepare makeshift weapons for their survival.
09:28They craft pots made of iron boxes, cutlery from bamboo, and even sharpen ATM cards to use as knives.
09:35In the evening, they gather by the bonfire and begin eating soup made by the older ladies.
09:39But things take a different turn when someone notices a toxic plant in one of the soups.
09:45Kato takes a look and realizes it is an edible berry, but he's curious about how it got into their soup.
09:51Kayashima thinks Tanaka may have slipped it in when he was lurking earlier.
09:54He suspects the old man wanted to poison everyone, but accidentally put the berries instead.
10:00Kayashima wants to confront Tanaka, but Shirahama doesn't believe he could be the culprit.
10:04This leads to an argument between them, and Shirahama eventually decides to go in search of the old man himself.
10:10A few hours pass, and he still doesn't return to the camp.
10:13This makes Sai worried, so she decides to go look for him.
10:16But Kayashima warns her that it's too risky to go alone, and asks for her to wait.
10:21He teases her, referring to her as a Shirahama fan, but she denies it.
10:25Sai then shares the story of how she first met him, though he hadn't known about her existence until the train accident.
10:31Elsewhere, Shirahama is seen walking through the forest, searching for the old man.
10:36But he soon falls into a ditch and injures his leg.
10:40He begins calling for help, but unfortunately no one is around to hear him.
10:44The next morning, Sai decides to search for Shirahama, who still hasn't returned.
10:48Kayashima also decides to join her, but just as they're about to leave, Shirahama limps back to the site.
10:54He reveals that he couldn't find the old man, but managed to recover Kayashima's hairdressing tools.
10:59This makes Kayashima emotional, and he bursts into tears, since the tools were gifted to him by Tatsuya.
11:05And now, he can make everyone fabulous.
11:08The other two console him, promising that they will soon find a way home, so he can reunite with his brother.
11:14Afterwards, Shirahama speaks to the group and explains that the soil was quite damp in the area where he was last night.
11:20He suggests that if there's a river nearby, they might be able to catch some fish as well.
11:24The group is thrilled by the idea, and becomes determined to find the river.
11:28Meanwhile, in the outside world, police are looking for a suspect in a cap who stabbed someone at a train station a few days ago.
11:36Based on the CCTV footage, they discover that the suspect boarded the same train that mysteriously vanished.
11:42Returning to the forest, we see Shirahama, Kayashima, and Keito exploring the woods in search of the river.
11:49They soon notice a bird, which suggests there might be something to eat nearby.
11:53Keito walks ahead to investigate, and the other two notice a strange man wearing a cap in the distance.
11:59Shortly after, they hear a groan, which turns out to be Keito, who has been brutally stabbed.
12:05Unfortunately, the culprit flees before they can catch him, and the episode ends here.
