SIGN    Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective
SIGN    15th March (Saturday)
[01:31] Yu
    In all honesty, I have no idea what's going on.
SIGN    This anime is a work of fiction and has no relation to any actual person or organization. The medical
    procedures and equipment used in the show may vary from what is used to treat individual symptoms.
[01:35] Yu
    How can a person drown in a locked room?
[01:38] Takao
    Right now, gathering information
    is our top priority.
[01:42] Yu
    Oh.
[01:42] Takao
    Hm?
[01:44] Sakurai
    Why, if it isn't Dr. Ameku and Dr. Takanashi.
[01:49] Sakurai
    Seems we're crossing paths a lot lately.
[01:51] Yu
    Sakurai-san and Naruse-san.
     What brings you here?
[01:55] Naruse
    I'd like to ask you the same.
[01:57] Takao
    I bet you're here investigating
    the Kuwata Daiki case.
[02:02] Sakurai
    Kuwata Daiki? Who's that?
[02:05] Takao
    Come on now. Let's not make this complicated.
[02:08] Takao
    We're investigating the same case.
    Why don't we swap info?
[02:13] Sakurai
    If you have something interesting
    to say about it, Dr. Ameku,
[02:17] Sakurai
    I might let some things slip
    while talking to myself, too.
[02:23] Takao
    Fair enough.
[02:28] Naruse
    This again, Sakurai-san?
[02:31] Naruse
    I'm going back to the station.
[02:37] Takao
    The police think Kuwata Seiji
    drowned his older brother somewhere else,
[02:40] Takao
    then dragged his body
    to the study afterwards, right?
[02:44] Sakurai
    Yes.
[02:45] Sakurai
    Kuwata Seiji was the only person with
    a key to lock the room from the outside.
[02:51] Takao
    Nope. Kuwata Ryuichiro has a key, too.
[02:54] Sakurai
    Ah, but you see...
[02:57] Sakurai
    Kuwata Ryuichiro has a fairly solid alibi.
[03:00] Takao
    Alibi?
[03:02] Sakurai
    Yes, that's right.
[03:04] Sakurai
    Several people were with Kuwata Ryuichiro
    from Kuwata Daiki's ejection from the party
[03:09] Sakurai
    right up until the discovery
    of his body in the study.
[03:13] Sakurai
    No one's reported him
    doing anything suspicious.
[03:16] Yu
    So there were witnesses, huh?
[03:18] Sakurai
    On top of that, a young servant
    took a video on her smartphone
[03:22] Sakurai
    when they entered the study
     where the crime was committed.
[03:26] Yu
    Huh? There's footage of
    Kuwata Seiji being discovered?
[03:31] Sakurai
    Yes, that's right.
[03:33] Sakurai
    That video is what made us believe
    this was likely a murder case,
[03:38] Sakurai
    triggering an investigation at HQ.
[03:41] Sakurai
    He spurted up a large amount of water
    when the chest compressions started.
[03:46] Sakurai
    After viewing that video, no one would
    believe he died from illness or suicide.
[03:52] Takao
    So no one was in the room
     with him at the time?
[03:56] Sakurai
    Right. The video showed the whole interior
     and no one else was in there.
[04:02] Sakurai
    The video also confirmed
    that all the windows were locked.
[04:09] Waitress
    Thank you for waiting.
[04:11] Waitress
    Who ordered the seasonal special,
     the starry sky curry?
[04:14] Takao
    That's me!
[04:15] Yu
    I ordered the doria.
[04:24] Takao
    Delicious.
[04:26] Sakurai
    Considering all the evidence,
[04:29] Sakurai
    everyone believes the culprit
    has to be Kuwata Seiji.
[04:33] Sakurai
    After all, it's obvious he's lying.
[04:35] Yu
    Lying?
[04:37] Sakurai
    Yes, that's right.
[04:38] Sakurai
    When we asked him for an alibi,
    he averted his eyes
[04:43] Sakurai
    and trembled as he kept repeating
    that he'd parked up the street in his car.
[04:49] Sakurai
    Anyone could see he was
    obviously hiding something.
[04:54] Sakurai
    Even so, I don't think
    Kuwata Seiji is the culprit.
[04:59] Yu
    Why do you say that?
[05:01] Sakurai
    Let's just call it detective's intuition.
[05:04] Yu
    Intuition?
[05:06] Sakurai
    Work as a detective for over 20 years,
    and you get a feeling for this kind of thing.
[05:12] Sakurai
    You can just tell if the person
    in front of you has killed or not.
[05:21] Yu
    Hey, what are you doing?
[05:23] Takao
    Carrots are good for you. Eat up.
[05:25] Yu
    Then, eat 'em yourself. And how can it
     be called a "starry sky" curry now?
[05:29] Takao
    So, anyway, what do you think
     happened in that study?
[05:34] Sakurai
    I believe Kuwata Daiki snuck into
    the room and locked the door himself.
[05:41] Sakurai
    He probably planned to steal
    a bankbook or a land deed.
[05:45] Takao
    Then? What happened after that?
[05:47] Sakurai
    I have no idea.
[05:50] Sakurai
    That's why I'm hoping to borrow
    some of your wisdom, Dr. Ameku.
[05:58] Takao
    Other than Kuwata Seiji,
[06:00] Takao
    do the police have a list of people with
    possible motives for killing Kuwata Daiki?
[06:05] Sakurai
    No, we haven't made much progress there.
[06:08] Sakurai
    But I think there's probably a lot of people
    who held a grudge against Kuwata Daiki.
[06:13] Sakurai
    He was deeply involved in the underworld.
[06:17] Takao
    A member of organized crime?
[06:18] Sakurai
    Well, I'd call him more of a partial member.
[06:22] Sakurai
    He has convictions for assault, extortion,
    and violations of the Stimulants Control Act.
[06:28] Yu
    Stimulants?
[06:30] Sakurai
    He was a stimulants dealer.
    His financial situation was quite dire.
[06:36] Sakurai
    But we discovered that he'd received
    a deposit of two million yen last month.
[06:42] Yu
    Two million?
[06:43] Takao
    What was the money for?
[06:45] Sakurai
    We don't know.
[06:46] Sakurai
    HQ believes the money was obtained
    through blackmail and is investigating.
[06:53] Takao
    Blackmail, huh?
[06:56] Takao
    Come to think of it,
    the police launched this investigation
[06:59] Takao
    because of an internal whistleblower, right?
[07:02] Takao
    Who was the whistleblower?
[07:04] Sakurai
    We don't actually know.
[07:07] Sakurai
    Tanashi Police Station
    received an anonymous tip.
[07:10] Takao
    An anonymous whistleblower, huh?
[07:13] Takao
    Is it possible for me to see the video
    of the moment Kuwata Daiki was found?
[07:17] Sakurai
    No, that's really not possible.
[07:20] Takao
    What the heck? So stingy.
[07:22] Sakurai
    Although...
[07:24] Sakurai
    Since the video was recorded by
     one of Kuwata Ryuichiro's servants,
[07:30] Sakurai
    I'm sure he'd let you see it if you ask him.
[07:33] Takao
    Oh, I see. I just need
    to ask Kuwata Ryuichiro.
[07:38] Takao
    Sorry, my bad. Well, don't worry about it.
[07:40] Yu
    Of course I will.
[07:42] Takao
    Okay! I'd like to talk to Kuwata Seiji, too.
[07:42] Yu
    Man, I don't think this is going to come out.
[07:47] Sakurai
    You'd better hurry
    if you want to talk to him.
[07:51] Takao
    Why's that?
[07:53] Sakurai
    From here on out, I'm just talking to myself.
[07:57] Sakurai
    An arrest warrant for Kuwata Seiji
    will be issued in the next few days.
[08:02] Takao/Yu
    Huh?
[08:03] Sakurai
    After that, any regular citizens won't
    get the opportunity to talk to him.
[08:08] Yu
    He's going to be arrested
    without definitive evidence?
[08:11] Sakurai
    They're arresting him because of that lack of
     evidence, so he can be interrogated longer.
[08:17] Yu
    That's so overbearing.
[08:19] Yu
    I mean, even if Kuwata-senpai
    did drown his own brother,
[08:23] Yu
    why drag the body up
    to the second-floor study?
[08:26] Sakurai
    Unless the solution to this
    locked-room mystery finds otherwise,
[08:30] Sakurai
    Kuwata Seiji is the only person
    with a key who could have done it.
[08:35] Takao
    Kotori, have you been able
    to reach Kuwata Seiji?
[08:39] Yu
    I've been trying, but he hasn't answered
    any of my phone calls or text messages.
[08:47] Sakurai
    Dr. Ameku. Dr. Takanashi.
[08:50] Sakurai
    There's one more thing
    I'd like to say to myself out loud.
SIGN    Metropolitan Police
SIGN    Tanashi Police Station
SIGN    Metropolitan Police
SIGN    Tanashi Police Station
[09:04] Takao
    It's already 10.
     Do you think it's still going on?
[09:08] Yu
    He's likely being questioned
    late into the night every day.
[09:12] Takao
    Well, since this is the only way to see him before
    he's arrested, all we can do is wait.
[09:19] Yu
    If Kuwata-senpai gets arrested...
[09:24] Yu
    it'll be over, won't it?
[09:25] Takao
    "Over"?
[09:27] Yu
    I won't get to stick my nose into
    various cases with you like this anymore.
[09:33] Takao
    Huh? What are you talking about?
[09:36] Takao
    If we prove Kuwata Seiji's innocence,
    you'll stay in Investigative Pathology.
[09:42] Yu
    I'd also like to stay and continue
    to learn from you, Dr. Takao.
[09:48] Yu
    But there's no way we can
    solve this case in just a few—
[09:53] Yu
    Wh-What was that for?
[09:55] Takao
    You're saying stupid stuff.
[09:57] Takao
    Don't you believe in me?
[09:59] Yu
    I do. One hundred...
[10:02] Yu
    No, two hundred percent.
    I really do believe in you.
[10:04] Takao
    Then stop saying stupid stuff and keep watch.
[10:10] Yu
    Sorry.
[10:19] Yu
    Do you think the police want to question us?
[10:22] Takao
    Huh?
[10:24] Yu
    Should we leave for a little bit?
[10:29] Takao
    Okay.
[10:31] Yu
    Huh?
[10:37] Yu
    W-W-Wait, uh, what are you doing, Dr. Takao?!
[10:40] Takao
    Just hurry up and embrace me.
[10:42] Yu
    Huh? I don't want to!
[10:43] Takao
    What do you mean you don't "want" to?
     I'm not doing this because I want to.
[10:47] Yu
    Wait, D-Dr. Takao?
[10:48] Takao
    Shut up and get to it.
[11:08] Takao
    Yeah, just like this.
[11:11] Takao
    Got it? Don't move.
[11:29] Takao
    Good. We're in the clear.
[11:33] Yu
    Wh-What the heck was that just now?
[11:35] Takao
    Hm? Doesn't it happen a lot in movies?
[11:39] Takao
    Acting out a romantic scene so
    people don't find out you're on a stakeout.
[11:42] Yu
    That's no reason to suddenly...
[11:44] Takao
    What else could we have done?
[11:46] Takao
    I didn't exactly want to hug
    a scruffy schlub like you, either.
[11:50] Yu
    Sorry for being "scruffy," I guess.
[11:52] Takao
    Well, you got a win in the end.
    Weren't you happy I hugged you?
[11:57] Yu
    Nope. I was more scared than happy.
    I had no idea what you were gonna do.
[12:02] Takao
    What are you saying?
[12:03] Takao
    A man should be happy
    when a woman embraces him.
[12:07] Yu
    Depends on the woman.
    It's not as simple as that.
[12:11] Takao
    What the heck is wrong with you?
[12:13] Takao
    You were embraced by a lady like me,
[12:15] Takao
    and as a man, you weren't
    happy or excited at all?!
[12:19] Yu
    Dr. Takao, over there.
[12:20] Takao
    You really think I'll let you
     change the subject?
[12:23] Yu
    I'm not trying to.
[12:25] Yu
    It's Kuwata-senpai.
[12:27] Yu
    He came out of the station.
[12:40] Takao
    You must be Kuwata Seiji.
[12:42] Seiji
    Yes?
[12:45] Yu
    It's been a while, Kuwata-senpai.
[12:49] Seiji
    Takanashi?
[12:54] Seiji
    Well, come on up.
[12:56] Seiji
    Sorry about the mess.
[12:58] Takao
    It really is a mess in here.
[13:01] Seiji
    The press and the police have
    been questioning me nonstop.
[13:05] Yu
    Dr. Takao, your house is just as messy—
[13:08] Yu
    R-Right in the same place as last time.
[13:09] Takao
    I've told you multiple times.
[13:11] Takao
    That's not mess.
    Everything's in its proper place.
[13:15] Takao
    This is why you're a birdbrain!
[13:17] Yu
    Calling me a birdbrain again?
[13:19] Seiji
    So what did you want to talk about?
[13:22] Seiji
    You even went out of your way
    to wait for me at the police station.
[13:25] Takao
    We obviously want to talk to you
    about your brother's death.
[13:29] Seiji
    I'm already annoyed about being dragged
    into something I have no idea about.
[13:34] Seiji
    Don't stick your noses in for kicks.
[13:37] Takao
    I'll uncover the truth.
[13:40] Takao
    A genius like me can uncover
    the truth of any case,
[13:45] Takao
    as long as I have all the information I need.
[13:48] Seiji
    Hey, Takanashi. Who in the world is this?
[13:52] Yu
    I know she's weird—
[13:54] Yu
    She's a tad eccentric, but Dr. Takao has
     solved all sorts of difficult cases before.
[14:01] Yu
    I'm sure she can help.
    Will you please tell us your story?
[14:08] Seiji
    Well, since you're going that far...
[14:11] Takao
    First, tell me what happened when
    Kuwata Daiki came to the party hall.
[14:17] Seiji
    My brother was fighting with my father,
    so I ran over to reprimand him.
[14:23] Takao
    And then?
[14:25] Seiji
    My brother suddenly turned to me,
    grabbed my jacket with both hands,
[14:33] Seiji
    then hit me in the head
    as hard as he could.
[14:36] Takao
    I heard you were bleeding pretty bad,
    but you didn't go to the hospital that day.
[14:44] Seiji
    The bleeding stopped right away,
[14:46] Seiji
    so I didn't think there was
    a need to go to the hospital.
[14:49] Seiji
    That's why I parked up
    a short way away and sat there.
[14:57] Yu
    Kuwata-senpai, please tell us the truth.
[15:00] Seiji
    That is the truth.
[15:02] Seiji
    I really was alone in my car.
[15:05] Takao
    A woman.
[15:07] Seiji
    Huh?
[15:08] Takao
    It's a woman, isn't it?
[15:10] Seiji
    What are you saying?
[15:12] Takao
    You met up with a woman
    after leaving the party.
[15:16] Takao
    You went to her house. Am I right?
[15:19] Seiji
    No. I really just stayed in my car.
    Don't make such wild accusations.
[15:24] Takao
    Seguchi Yuko.
[15:26] Seiji
    What?
[15:27] Yu
    Hm?
[15:29] Yu
    You mean Seguchi-san?
[15:32] Takao
    Yeah, this man went to
    see that plastic surgeon.
[15:36] Seiji
    No, you're wrong. What's your basis for that?
     Don't make stuff up.
[15:41] Takao
    My basis?
[15:42] Takao
    The scar on your forehead.
[15:48] Takao
    Kotori, you can tell as a former surgeon.
[15:52] Yu
    Sorry to be a bother, but could you show me?
[15:58] Yu
    This is w-plasty.
[16:01] Takao
    Yeah. The wound was stitched up
    using a very advanced technique.
[16:06] Takao
    But on your medical notes, Seguchi Yuko wrote
    the wound wasn't bad enough to need stitches.
[16:13] Seiji
    That's...
[16:15] Yu
    In other words, on that day,
    after Kuwata-senpai left the party,
[16:19] Yu
    he went to Dr. Seguchi's home
    and had her take a look at his wound?
[16:24] Yu
    But why would he try to hide that?
[16:26] Takao
    You're so dense.
[16:28] Takao
    Put simply, this guy's having
    an affair with Seguchi Yuko.
[16:32] Yu
    What?!
[16:33] Takao
    But that woman's terrible, too.
[16:36] Takao
    She'd rather keep their affair a secret
    than give her lover an alibi.
[16:39] Seiji
    That's not true!
[16:40] Seiji
    Yuko-san said we should tell the police
    even if it meant revealing our affair.
[16:47] Seiji
    I was the one who stopped her.
[16:49] Takao
    You're going to be arrested at this rate.
[16:52] Seiji
    Arrested?
[16:53] Takao
    Yeah, that's right. I got that info
    from the police, so I'm sure of it.
[16:57] Seiji
    No way.
[16:59] Seiji
    I didn't kill my brother!
[17:01] Takao
    Then, you should get Seguchi Yuko
     to confirm your alibi.
[17:05] Takao
    Just be careful and make sure
    her husband doesn't find out.
[17:09] Seiji
    How?
[17:11] Takao
    Hm, let's see...
[17:13] Takao
    Is it possible to call Seguchi Yuko here?
[17:26] Sakurai
    I see.
[17:29] Sakurai
    That account probably won't be enough.
[17:33] Sakurai
    Kuwata Seiji will still be arrested.
[17:36] Takao
    Why? These two were making out
    when the incident happened!
[17:41] Takao
    That's a reasonable alibi!
[17:43] Yu
    Making out, she says.
[17:45] Sakurai
    Since they're lovers, Dr. Seguchi is
    no longer an uninvolved third party.
[17:50] Sakurai
    She would be considered
    someone close to the suspect.
[17:54] Sakurai
    HQ will just think Dr. Seiji asked his lover,
     Dr. Seguchi, to make up an alibi for him.
[18:02] Yuko
    No way.
[18:04] Yuko
    Seiji-san was definitely at my house.
[18:07] Yuko
    I'm not lying!
[18:11] Sakurai
    I wish there was some way to get
    third-party confirmation of that.
[18:15] Sakurai
    Either way, as of right now, Dr. Seiji is
    the only one capable of committing the crime.
[18:21] Yuko
    I can't believe he's going to
    be arrested because of that.
[18:26] Yu
    In the end, we have to solve
    the locked-room mystery,
[18:29] Yu
    and make it possible for someone other
    than Kuwata-senpai to be the culprit.

    Duh... Daiki.
[19:00] Takao
    Stop there, Kotori.
[19:01] Yu
    Oh, right.
[19:03] Takao
    Were you the one who vomited?
[19:06] Ryuichiro
    I wasn't feeling too good that day
    after Daiki showed up.
[19:12] Ryuichiro
    I felt a wave of nausea and dizziness
    as I was going up the stairs,
[19:17] Ryuichiro
    and once the door was open...
[19:18] Takao
    You vomited.
[19:21] Takao
    There was no one else in the room
    and the windows were all shut.
[19:26] Takao
    It's definitely a locked-room case.
[19:29] Takao
    Continue.

    Right.

    If Kuwata Seiji isn't the culprit,

    He's in cardiac arrest.
[20:04] Ryuichiro
    What?
[20:05] Kojiro
    We need to resuscitate him.
[20:06] Kojiro
    Call for an ambulance.
[20:08] Clerk A
    Y-Yes, sir.
[20:10] Kojiro
    One, two, three, four—
[20:15] Yu
    That's weird.
[20:17] Ryuichiro
    What is it?
[20:18] Yu
    But why? You'd normally never...
[20:23] Takao
    You noticed, too?
[20:25] Ryuichiro
    What are you talking about?
[20:27] Ryuichiro
    The police watched this video
    and didn't find anything suspicious.
[20:31] Yu

    something suspicious about it.
[20:34] Yu

[20:44] Takao
    We'll need evidence before
    we can explain it all with any certainty.

    Now, now.
[20:57] Sakurai
    Since Dr. Ameku told us to come here,
    she must have a reason for it.
[21:03] Takao
    Of course I do.
[21:05] Takao
    In a moment, the person who holds
    the key to this case will appear.
[21:11] Naruse
    The key to this case?
[21:12] Takao
    I set a trap for them.
[21:15] Takao

    have no choice but to show up tonight.

[21:53] Takao
