SIGN    Kuramoto Aoi, Age 31
[00:16] Sakurai
    Victim's name: Kuramoto Aoi.
[00:18] Sakurai
    Assistant professor at Teito University.
[00:22] Sakurai
    Still...
[00:24] Sakurai
    What a peculiar way to die.
[00:28] Police A
    Hey! You can't be in here!
[00:30] Murota
    It's fine. Let them through.
[00:32] Police A
    But—
[00:33] Takao
    Sakurai.
[00:34] Sakurai
    Well, well. If it isn't Dr. Ameku.
[00:45] Yu
    Kuramoto-san...
[00:48] Takao
    I see.
[00:51] Takao
    You're right. It is a peculiar way to die.
[00:53] Sakurai
    Yup.
[00:55] Sakurai
    The authorities here believe it was caused
    by carelessness with a lit cigarette.
[01:02] Sakurai
    Well, it's true there are no signs of a break-in,
     and suicide seems highly unlikely.
[01:11] Sakurai
    Even so, a fire like this...
[01:15] Sakurai
    The victim's surroundings
    are suspiciously unaffected.
[01:20] Sakurai
    Only the corpse burned to ashes.
[01:24] Sakurai
    It's like her body just burst into flames.
[01:32] Takao
    Spontaneous human combustion.
[01:34] Yu
    Huh?
[01:35] Takao
    In 1731, Countess Cornelia Bandi was
    found burned to ashes in her own room
[01:40] Takao
    with no apparent source of ignition.
    Only her legs below the knees remained.
[01:45] Takao
    In 2010, an Irishman named Michael Faherty
[01:49] Takao
    was found burned to death in his living room
    with no signs of fire damage nearby.
[01:56] Takao
    The coroner officially recorded spontaneous
    human combustion as his cause of death.
[02:02] Takao
    There have been various cases reported around
    the world where people have burned to death
[02:06] Takao
    with no obvious ignition source.
[02:12] Takao
    I thought everything was solved
    with the cryptococcus.
[02:17] Takao
    Bring it on.
[02:19] Takao
    I'll take on this mystery...
[02:23] Takao
    of spontaneous human combustion.
SIGN    Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective
[04:04] Sakurai
    My, my.
[04:05] Sakurai
    This warehouse has quite the collection.
[04:09] Murota
    Yes, the Murota family has been
    collecting these items for over 300 years.
[04:15] Takao
    It really is an impressive collection.
[04:18] Takao
    Oh, hey, isn't that armor from
     the Azuchi-Momoyama period?
[04:22] Takao
    And this foreign porcelain appeared
    in Japan during the Edo period.
[04:27] Takao
    That Japanese pipe is a luxury item
    from the Taisho period.
[04:30] Sakurai
    I'm sure that safe contains
    something even more valuable.
[04:36] Murota
    Of course.
[04:38] Murota
    That's why the code to
    this safe is known only...
[04:43] Murota
    by members of the Murota family.
[04:49] Murota
    In the past, everyone cursed
    by Ashiya Enzo burned to death.
[04:59] Takao
    Only the burnt shadows of victims remained,
    and the source of ignition was never found.
[05:05] Takao
    At least, that's how history recorded it.
[05:10] Yu
    Just like Kuramoto-san...
[05:13] Murota
    These are historical documents
    related to Ashiya Enzo.
[05:23] Murota
    Dr. Ameku. I will cooperate fully
    with your investigation.
[05:28] Murota
    If necessary, I can show you all the known
    documents related to Enzo that we've found.
[05:43] Murota
    So please...
[05:45] Murota
    Please break this curse.

    Yes. Thank you very much.

[06:13] Yu
    Professor Ikari...
[06:16] Yu
    has passed away.
[06:27] Takao
    I see.
[06:30] Kagaya
    This is all because of the curse.
[06:36] Murota
    Aoi-kun is dead, and now Ikari is, too.
[06:41] Murota
    I'm sure I'm next.
[06:45] Murota
    We should never have gotten
    involved with Ashiya Enzo.

    It's Enzo's curse!
SIGN    October 31 (Thursday)
[09:29] Takao
    Burned to death. A burning corpse.
[09:32] Takao
    Good grief. Ashiya Enzo's
    onmyo "curse" sure is a crazy one.
[09:36] Naruse
    How stupid. It's not a curse.
[09:40] Takao
    Hah, I expected as much.
[09:41] Yu
    Huh?
[09:42] Takao
    You going through the trouble of coming
     to question Kotori proves it's not a curse.

    Whenever there's a fire,
    a fire investigator inspects the scene.
[09:57] Takao
    If there's any suspicion of negligence
    or arson, the police get involved.
SIGN    Fire Investigation
[10:04] Takao
    Put simply, the fact you guys are here
    means this is a "case" not an "accident."
[10:12] Takao
    Moreover, considering how quickly
    you opened your investigation,
[10:16] Takao
    there must be some kind of
    evidence that points to arson.
[10:23] Sakurai
    We found the remains of a timed
    ignition device in the coffin.
[10:29] Yu
    A timed ignition device?
[10:30] Naruse
    That strange sound you heard right before
    the fire was the sound of the timer.
[10:37] Yu
    In other words, someone's behind all of this?
[10:41] Naruse
    That's right.
[10:44] Takao
    Was the timer special in any way?
[10:46] Sakurai
    No, it's something anyone could make
    fairly easily with an internet search.
[10:53] Naruse
    Let me tell you this right now:
    we don't need advice from an amateur.
[10:58] Naruse
    The trick is obvious.
[11:00] Naruse
    It's just a matter of time
    before we find the culprit.
[11:04] Yu
    Does this mean that Kuramoto-san was also...
[11:08] Sakurai
    HQ has decided to consider the possibility
    of homicide in light of this recent case.
[11:15] Naruse
    Two professors on the same research team
     have been involved in fires.
[11:20] Naruse
    It's natural to suspect that
    the same person is behind both incidents.
[11:27] Naruse
    Dr. Takanashi.
[11:29] Naruse
    Did you see anyone suspicious near the wake?
[11:33] Yu
    Anyone suspicious?
[11:37] Yu
    I saw a motorcyclist wearing
    a full-face helmet nearby.
[11:41] Yu
    They were quietly staring at us.
[11:43] Naruse
    I see.
[11:45] Naruse
    At what point did you notice
     this suspicious person?
[11:48] Yu
    Oh, um, I was at the reception table.
    I asked after Professor Murota...

[11:57] Konoike
    Oh.
[11:58] Konoike
    Dr. Kotori!
[11:59] Kotori
    It's Takanashi.
[12:03] Konoike
    Um, did something happen?
[12:06] Yu
    Hm? Not really.
[12:07] Konoike
    Oh, I know! Relationship problems?
[12:10] Yu
    You're saying that knowing full well
    I'm not in a relationship, aren't you?
[12:14] Konoike
    Don't you have Dr. Takao?
[12:16] Konoike
    Dr. Kotori, aren't you into cars?
[12:19] Konoike
    How about going on a driving date?
[12:21] Yu
    Do you seriously think I'm worried about
     making plans for a date right now?
[12:25] Konoike
    Am I wrong?
[12:27] Konoike
    Then, should I ask Dr. Takao out myself?
    I want to show off my pride and joy.
[12:31] Yu
    Your pride and joy?
[12:32] Konoike
    Oh? Do you want to see it?
    Should I show you?
[12:36] Yu
    Nope, not interested.
SIGN    What would you like to do?
[12:38] Konoike
    What? You should come see it! C'mon!
[12:40] Yu
    No, thanks.
SIGN    Dr. Takanashi!
[12:41] Yu
    Hm?
SIGN     Takanashi
    Kotori-sama
SIGN    Here.
SIGN    A person all in black with a full-face helmet asked me to hand it to you.
[12:52] Yu
    A full-face helmet?
SIGN    Takanashi
    Kotori-sama
SIGN    They were very unfriendly.
SIGN    Takanashi
    Kotori-sama
[12:58] Takanashi
    "Kotori"?
[13:01] Konoike
    Wow.
SIGN    Do not desecrate Enzo's grave.
    Those who break this taboo will be cursed to die.
[13:03] Konoike
    Talk about a threatening anonymous letter.
[13:07] Konoike
    What's this about a "curse"?
[13:10] Yu
    It's, uh...
[13:12] Yu
    Hm?
[13:20] Yu
    Huh?
[13:24] Crowd
    A fire?
[13:24] Yu
    Huh? What? N-No... Wait...
[13:25] Crowd
    An explosion!
[13:27] Crowd
    Call the fire truck!
[13:28] Mai
    Wait! What are you doing? It's dangerous!
[13:29] Yu
    M-My RX-8...
[13:33] Yu
    My RX-8!
[13:33] Mai
    Stop, Dr. Kotori!
[13:51] Mai
    Uh, well, that was a real stroke of bad luck.
[14:01] Mai
    What's their problem? Shut up already.
[14:05] Yu
    That full-face helmet...
[14:20] Mai
    Dr. Kotori?
[14:22] Yu
    I see. So the culprit is...
[14:25] Yu
    I need to go get Dr. Takao...
[14:27] Yu
    No, wait.
[14:29] Mai
    What's wrong?
[14:30] Yu
    Konoike.
[14:31] Mai
    Yes?
[14:33] Yu
    Didn't you want to show me
     your pride and joy?
SIGN    Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective
[15:05] Yu
    Yeah, I thought so.
[15:07] Yu
    I knew you'd attack me
    if I told you I was coming alone.
[15:17] Yu
    Hey! Wait!
[16:02] Yu
    Wow.
[16:03] Yu
    You're pretty strong.
[16:06] Mai
    I practice aikido.
[16:09] Mai
    Wait, shouldn't you be worrying
     about my safety first?
[16:15] Yu
    "Kotori" is a nickname
    given to me by my superior.
[16:21] Yu
    I figured it was you...
[16:23] Yu
    Ashiya Yuuta.
SIGN    Ashiya
[16:30] Sakurai
    Well, well. Quite the impressive
     collaring, Dr. Takanashi.
[16:34] Yu
    Not at all. Thank you for coming so quickly.
[16:39] Sakurai
    Still, how did you know he was behind it all?
SIGN    Takanashi
    Kotori-sama
[16:48] Yu
    It was this threatening letter.
[16:50] Yu
    The culprit thought Kotori was my real name,
    and he had a reason to attack me.
SIGN    Do not desecrate Enzo's grave.
    Those who break this taboo will be cursed to die.
[16:57] Yu
    On top of that, considering the contents
    and the references to burning,
[17:01] Yu
    I knew it had to be someone
    who knew Ashiya Enzo really well.
[17:05] Yu
    The last thing was that habit of his.
[17:07] Yu
    Ashiya Yuuta and the guy with the full-face
    helmet had the same chest-scratching habit.
[17:13] Yu
    And if he was the culprit, I knew
    he'd attack me if I wandered around alone.
[17:19] (Flashback) Yu
    Please let me into Enzo's grave one more time.
[17:22] Yuuta
    Just you?
[17:24] Yu
    Yeah, just me.
[17:29] Sakurai
    I see.
[17:31] Sakurai
    You stole the spotlight, just like Dr. Ameku.
[17:35] Yu
    Nah, not really.
[17:39] Sakurai
    But please don't be too reckless.
[17:42] Sakurai
    People have died.
[17:44] Sakurai
    It'd be too late for regrets
    if something happened to you.
[17:47] Yu
    R-Right.
[17:48] Sakurai
    Thankfully, you made it out unscathed.
[17:51] Sakurai
    Please contact the police
    before you make a move next time.
[17:54] Yu
    Yes. I'm very sorry.
[17:58] Sakurai
    Then, we'll take over from here.
[18:02] Yu
    I'm so tired.
[18:03] Mai
    "The culprit's only after me.
    I can't let Dr. Takao get involved."
[18:08] Mai
    That's love right there.
[18:11] Mai
    All things considered,
    weren't you worried about Dr. Takao?
[18:15] Yu
    I just thought it'd be pointless to put
    both of us in a dangerous situation.
[18:22] Mai
    Yeah, sure. Let's go with that.
[18:28] Yu
    Looks like everything's settled.
[18:31] Mai
    Okay, let's go home.
[18:34] Yu
    I have to ride that monster again?
[18:39] Sakurai
    Bombing and assault.
[18:42] Sakurai
    That's a pretty sloppy curse.
[18:47] Yuuta
    You don't get it.
[18:50] Yuuta
    "Do not desecrate Enzo's grave."
[18:54] Yuuta
    "Those who break this taboo...
[18:57] Yuuta
    will be cursed to die."

SIGN    Tenikai General Hospital
[19:05] Mai
    So I did this! And this!
[19:09] Mai
    And I took that fugitive down!
[19:11] Yu
    Ashiya Yuuta confessed to sending me that
    threatening letter and placing a bomb on my car.
[19:17] Yu
    But he's denied all involvement in the
    Kuramoto-san and Professor Ikari cases.
[19:22] Yu
    He keeps saying it was all Enzo's curse.
[19:26] Yu
    I can't believe he's still
    talking about that curse.
[19:29] Mai
    I'm sure he was behind those other cases, too.
