Episode Title:
The Fourth Man.Episode Description:
At the end of class, two high school students ask their teacher if she had heard of the Handshake Men. The teacher says she hasn't. According to the girls, a man stands by the roadside at night asking people to shake his hand but you can't tell him no or he will say that you are naughty and will crush your body into a meatball. The girls also say there are three more of them, but you should never shake hands with the fourth one otherwise, he'll bite your hand off. A third student, Haruko, silently thinks that the story is stupid. At home, while she's reading, her younger sister, Naomi comes in and tells her she forgot her notebook at school. The two girls go to the school and the younger of the two finds it in her desk, right where she left it. Suddenly, they bump into the janitor, who demands to know why they are there so late. Naomi explains the situation and he lets them go. The two girls walk back home, though the student is a little shaken by the janitor suddenly appearing. Along the way, an old man comes stumbling along, grumbling why two young kids are out this late. Haruko begins to question if the Handshake Men story is true. A while later, a man appears and asks for a handshake. Remembering the story, Haruko shakes his hand quickly and takes off running with Naomi. An officer suddenly asks to shake hands with her which she does. Then the third man asks for a handshake which she does. Suddenly, Haruko realizes Naomi has vanished. Terrified she wonders if she's run into the fourth man. Suddenly a hand grabs hers... but it's not Naomi who's now running up to her. Instead, it's a man ready to bite her hand off with his giant mouth.
