**[00:37] Fukuchi**
*It's me.*
**[00:38] Fukuchi**
* Are you prepared to join*
* the military police?*
**[00:41] Fukuchi**
* We're the only ones who can*
* make use of your powers.*
**[00:44] Fukuchi**
*Get over here.*
**[00:45] Fukuzawa**
From now on, I work alone.
**[02:22] Woman A**
Oh, God...
**[02:23] Man B**
Did they jump?
**[02:24] Man C**
No, apparently it was a murder.
**[02:27] Man C**
Shoved out a window.
**[02:40] Secretary**
Come in.
**[02:44] Fukuzawa**
My condolences.
**[02:46] Fukuzawa**
He was a good man.
**[02:48] Secretary**
Thank you for coming, Fukuzawa-san.
**[02:52] Fukuzawa**
By the way, what are these documents?
**[02:55] Secretary**
I'm organizing.
**[02:57] Fukuzawa**
Why?
**[02:58] Secretary**
I suspect that the murderer was intent on
either stealing or destroying these documents.
**[03:06] Secretary**
In order to confirm that,
**[03:08] Secretary**
I'm arranging all the documents
according to any potential patterns.
**[03:12] Secretary**
This entire room is a catalog for
determining the attacker's motivations.
**[03:20] Fukuzawa**
I'm told that he was pushed
out of this window.
**[03:23] Secretary**
The president took me in as a
secretary. I'm indebted to him.
**[03:28] Secretary**
Solving the nature of the crime would
be the best farewell gift I can offer.
**[03:34] Secretary**
But, fortunately, the assassin
has already been captured.
**[03:39] Secretary**
After murdering the president, he was
apprehended by guards on the first floor,
**[03:43] Secretary**
and is now being held next door.
**[03:45] Fukuzawa**
What?
**[03:46] Fukuzawa**
The ten fingerprints recovered from the back of
the president's clothes apparently matched his.
**[03:52] Fukuzawa**
He's still next door?
**[03:54] Secretary**
He seems to have given up.
**[03:56] Secretary**
He's very quiet.
**[03:58] Fukuzawa**
I'd like to see the assassin.
**[04:01] Secretary**
Be my guest.
**[04:02] Secretary**
But please don't touch the documents.
**[04:27] Fukuzawa**
*He's quite an accomplished assassin.*
**[04:29] Fukuzawa**
*Reddish hair and dual pistols.*
**[04:32] Fukuzawa**
* Which means he must be the child*
* assassin so famous in the underground.*
**[04:37] Fukuzawa**
*But, if this boy truly is Oda Sakunosuke,*
**[04:40] Fukuzawa**
* how could he be captured*
* by mere security guards?*
**[04:43] Secretary**
As you can see, that man is
maintaining his silence.
**[04:47] Secretary**
The municipal police should
be taking him soon.
**[04:50] Fukuzawa**
As for you—
**[04:51] Rampo**
Hey, there!

**[04:58] Rampo**
It's damn windy today, huh?
**[05:02] Rampo**
So, anyway...
**[05:04] Rampo**
Is there any chance we can
relocate this company?
**[05:07] Rampo**
The hills are a pain and the
directions are so complicated.
**[05:10] Secretary**
Excuse me?
**[05:11] Rampo**
Also, I'm getting hungry.
**[05:13] Rampo**
D'you have any food?
**[05:14] Secretary**
Excuse me?
**[05:16] Rampo**
Here we go again, looking
down on me like some kid.
**[05:19] Rampo**
Fine, never mind the food.
**[05:21] Rampo**
Just give me the permit.
**[05:23] Rampo**
Wait, have you lost it
in all these documents?
**[05:25] Rampo**
Dammit!
**[05:27] Rampo**
You're the secretary! You'd better find it!
**[05:29] Rampo**
I don't have the slightest interest
in the fingerprints in this room.
**[05:34] Secretary**
What is your problem?
**[05:36] Secretary**
Regardless of the circumstances,
this is the president's office.
**[05:40] Secretary**
Unless you're authorized,
you may not be here.
**[05:42] Rampo**
I'm authorized, though.
**[05:44] Rampo**
I'm here for an interview today.
**[05:47] Rampo**
The president did say he would be
interviewing an administration trainee...
**[05:52] Rampo**
Anyway, I just came here for the working permit
that I'm supposed to get at the interview.
**[05:56] Rampo**
Once I have that, I can get some
funding from the government.
**[06:00] Rampo**
Mind if I move this useless paper?
**[06:02] Secretary**
You may not!
**[06:03] Secretary**
The very arrangements of these documents
**[06:05] Secretary**
is a catalog for determining
the attacker's motivations.
**[06:09] Rampo**
Come on, that's such a blatant lie.
**[06:12] Rampo**
Forget it.
**[06:13] Rampo**
I'll find it myself.
**[06:15] Rampo**
I'll be done in an instant.
**[06:17] Fukuzawa**
Boy.
**[06:18] Fukuzawa**
There's a mountain of documents here.
How do you plan to find yours?
**[06:22] Rampo**
The old man can speak!
**[06:24] Rampo**
Unlike all your loose papers, mine's got a
heavy stamp and it's printed on thick paper.
**[06:30] Secretary**
Hey!
**[06:32] Secretary**
No!
**[06:42] Rampo**
Found it.
**[06:47] Secretary**
How could you...
**[06:49] Secretary**
Now I have to check every sheet
and arrange it all over.
**[06:53] Secretary**
And I still have to report on the
missing documents within 48 hours.
**[06:56] Rampo**
Why bother?
**[06:58] Rampo**
They're all here.
**[07:02] Rampo**
No documents have been stolen,
**[07:05] Rampo**
and the assassin didn't kill the president.
**[07:08] Rampo**
Like, you're the murderer anyway,
aren't you, secretary?
**[07:13] Rampo**
You arranging documents to keep people away
so that you can come up with an alibi.
**[07:19] Rampo**
I mean, it's suspicious
if there were fingerprints
**[07:22] Rampo**
on the president's clothes but
nowhere else in the room.
**[07:25] Rampo**
The obviously guilty secretary
**[07:28] Rampo**
and the obviously innocent
assassin are right here...
**[07:32] Rampo**
And you're just standing there.
**[07:34] Rampo**
Come on, mister, you're slacking on the job.
**[07:38] Secretary**
Fukuzawa-san...
**[07:40] Secretary**
Please kick that kid out of here.
**[07:42] Secretary**
I can't have him making even
more of a mess in here!
**[07:47] Fukuzawa**
The assassin's fingerprints were found
on the back of the victim's clothes.
**[07:52] Fukuzawa**
From when he shoved him.
**[07:55] Rampo**
There's no way even the best assassin
**[07:57] Rampo**
could get close to the president
without being noticed.
**[08:00] Rampo**
The door is right in view of the desk.
**[08:03] Rampo**
And, if the president resisted before
he was forced out the window,
**[08:08] Rampo**
the fingerprints would have indicated
him being thrown out, not pushed out.
**[08:14] Fukuzawa**
He may have happened to
be looking out the window.
**[08:18] Rampo**
On such a windy day?
**[08:20] Rampo**
With the window open? By himself?
**[08:23] Fukuzawa**
*He's right.*
**[08:25] Fukuzawa**
* Which means it must have*
* been someone close to him.*
**[08:28] Rampo**
It was someone close to him,
yet the assassin's fingerprints turned up.
**[08:32] Rampo**
So those prints were faked.
**[08:34] Rampo**
I heard it's easy to fake fingerprints.
**[08:37] Rampo**
You just need to make molds of the
fingers using putty or something.
**[08:40] Rampo**
Weren't you a police officer or
something before, mister secretary?
**[08:43] Rampo**
You mentioned the 48 hour
investigation law earlier.
**[08:46] Secretary**
This is ridiculous!
**[08:47] Secretary**
How would I have taken
the assassin's prints?!
**[08:50] Secretary**
Fukuzawa-san!
**[08:51] Secretary**
Just get this brat out of here!
**[08:54] Rampo**
You were able to get the assassin's
prints because you hired him.
**[08:57] Secretary**
Shut up!
**[08:58] Rampo**
Since *you* hired him, you could
easily entrap a top-tier assassin.
**[09:01] Rampo**
Even get security guards to catch him.
**[09:04] Rampo**
I don't think the assassin over there
even knew he was being entrapped.
**[09:10] Rampo**
I'm sure he'd talk if he
found out he's been fooled.
**[09:13] Rampo**
Why don't you try asking him?
**[09:19] Odasaku**
I have no intention of fighting you.
**[09:21] Fukuzawa**
Don't add more crimes to your guilt.
**[09:23] Fukuzawa**
You can get off with a lesser
plea if you stop now.
**[09:54] Fukuzawa**
What?!
**[10:00] Fukuzawa**
No!
**[10:07] Odasaku**
There is no forgiveness in this world.
**[10:10] Odasaku**
Only revenge.
**[10:13] Fukuzawa**
You...
**[10:18] Fukuzawa**
Call an ambulance!
**[10:19] Fukuzawa**
And contact the municipal police!
**[10:21] Rampo**
I don't think we need to call the ambulance.
**[10:24] Rampo**
The secretary's dead anyway.
**[10:30] ---**
**[10:31] Rampo**
Miss, could I get another red bean soup?
**[10:36] Fukuzawa**
Why don't you eat the rice cake?
**[10:38] Rampo**
It's not sweet.
**[10:41] Fukuzawa**
When did you realize the
secretary was the murderer?
**[10:44] Rampo**
From the beginning.
**[10:45] Rampo**
He was wearing a coat, right?
**[10:48] Rampo**
Who wears a coat when
they're sorting documents?
**[10:51] Rampo**
Your sleeves would get in the way.
**[10:54] Rampo**
He was concealing tools for faking
the assassin's fingerprints.
**[10:59] Fukuzawa**
Boy...
**[11:00] Rampo**
My name is Edogawa Rampo.
**[11:03] Rampo**
Remember that.
**[11:04] Fukuzawa**
What about school?
**[11:05] Rampo**
I was at a police academy,
living in the dorms.
**[11:09] Rampo**
I had an argument
with the dorm supervisor,
**[11:10] Rampo**
so I exposed all of their
past affairs and I got kicked out.
**[11:17] Rampo**
Since then, I've been bouncing
around from place to place.
**[11:19] Rampo**
I was a live-in worker at a garrison,
**[11:22] Rampo**
until I got thrown out for blabbing
about the head chief's corruption.
**[11:27] Fukuzawa**
Your parents?
**[11:29] Rampo**
Dead.
**[11:31] Rampo**
In an accident.
**[11:33] Rampo**
That's why I came out to Yokohama.
**[11:37] Fukuzawa**
Are you full now?
**[11:39] Rampo**
Yeah, thanks.
**[11:40] Fukuzawa**
Good.
**[11:42] Fukuzawa**
Well done today.
**[11:45] Rampo**
That's it?
**[11:47] Rampo**
You're talking to a fourteen-year-old boy
who's lost his parents, his job and his future.
**[11:53] Rampo**
That's all you've got?

**[12:30] Fukuzawa**
Yes?
**[12:32] Rampo**
*Help me, mister bodyguard.*
**[12:37] Rampo**
I don't have work or a place to stay.
**[12:40] Rampo**
I'm going to die.
**[12:44] Fukuzawa**
I'm headed to work.
**[12:46] Fukuzawa**
Come with me.
**[12:47] Fukuzawa**
A client is looking for manpower.

Check the scene for me.
**[13:21] Fukuzawa**
Do you have some idea who the
threats might be coming from?
**[13:25] Manager**
The police will do the investigating.
**[13:27] Manager**
Your job is to arrest the
attacker when it happens.
**[13:32] Fukuzawa**
Could you at least tell
me what the threat is?
**[13:35] Manager**
Here.
**[13:37] Manager**
We received this several days ago.
**[13:40] Manager**
"The angels shall bring true
death upon the performers. V."
**[13:46] Fukuzawa**
V?
**[13:47] Rampo**
The performers, huh?
**[13:50] Rampo**
So is it the actors who
are going to be killed?
**[13:53] Rampo**
I can't wait to see what happens.
**[13:56] Manager**
Who is this child?
**[13:58] Fukuzawa**
He's looking for work.
**[14:00] Fukuzawa**
I heard you needed more people.
**[14:04] Fukuzawa**
I'm hoping you can interview him
once this situation is resolved.
**[14:09] Manager**
Please send me a resume, then.
**[14:11] Manager**
I'll evaluate him along
with the other candidates.
**[14:14] Rampo**
There are other people who signed up?
**[14:17] Rampo**
There's no chance I'm getting hired, then.
**[14:19] Manager**
I told you I'll evaluate you.
**[14:21] Rampo**
Nope.
**[14:22] Rampo**
This hag's already decided
she's not hiring me.
**[14:25] Manager**
Hag?!
**[14:26] Rampo**
You could have just been honest with me.
**[14:28] Rampo**
Why don't grown-ups ever say
what they're really thinking?
**[14:31] Rampo**
Same thing with how you're
dealing with this guy.
**[14:34] Rampo**
The reason you aren't introducing
him to the municipal police
**[14:37] Rampo**
is because you want him to
keep an eye on the police.
**[14:39] Rampo**
And have the police keep an eye on him.
**[14:42] Rampo**
In other words, you don't trust anyone—
**[14:44] Fukuzawa**
That's enough.
**[14:47] Fukuzawa**
I don't care what your intentions are.
**[14:50] Fukuzawa**
I'm simply going to do my
best to prevent the crime.
**[14:54] Fukuzawa**
I'd like to speak with the staff.
Is that all right?
**[14:59] Manager**
Do as you wish.
**[15:03] Rampo**
Grown-ups are so quick to anger.
**[15:09] Fukuzawa**
I'm not surprised you don't
last long on any job.

Why do you speak to me
right before the show?
**[15:17] Murakami**
Do you know what an actor is
going through prior to a show?
**[15:21] Murakami**
We dive into another world.
**[15:23] Murakami**
As though we are different people.
**[15:32] Murakami**
I've trained for nearly a year for this.
**[15:35] Murakami**
If they mess with me,
they'll be the dead ones.
**[15:38] Fukuzawa**
I'll respect your work.
**[15:41] Fukuzawa**
But you are the ones who
may end up murdered.
**[15:44] Fukuzawa**
Do you ever end up on your
own during the performance?
**[15:47] Murakami**
Yeah.
**[15:48] Murakami**
We're defenseless when we're up there.
**[15:51] Murakami**
I'm on my own for minutes.
**[15:54] Fukuzawa**
Where?
**[15:55] Murakami**
On the stage.
**[15:57] Murakami**
I'm the lead actor, believe it or not.
**[16:00] Rampo**
Huh.
**[16:00] Rampo**
You're the lead actor?
**[16:02] Rampo**
Murakami... Tokio?
**[16:04] Rampo**
Never heard of you.
**[16:05] Murakami**
Who is that brat?
**[16:07] Rampo**
Hey, what's this play about?
**[16:10] Murakami**
You've received the script, haven't you?
**[16:12] Rampo**
That script's boring.
**[16:14] Rampo**
I gave up after the first page.
**[16:16] Fukuzawa**
Boy...
**[16:18] Murakami**
I see.
**[16:21] Murakami**
If you think it's boring, it must be boring.
**[16:28] Murakami**
That's for the audience
to decide, after all.
**[16:41] Woman C**
Have you met Murakami?
**[16:43] Woman C**
This play's practically a one-man show.
**[16:47] Woman C**
He's been meeting a lot with the
stagewright, Kurahashi-san.
**[16:51] Man D**
No one actually thinks there's
going to be a murder.
**[16:55] Man D**
But if someone's going to get hit,
it'd probably be Murakami-kun.
**[16:58] Man D**
He's got a lot of women
chasing after him, too.
**[17:01] Man D**
I only have a minor role.
**[17:03] Man D**
I'm not even worth threatening.
**[17:06] Man D**
Maybe I'll become a taxi driver or
something once this performance is over.
**[17:13] Women E**
You know what that is?
**[17:14] Fukuzawa**
Hm?
**[17:15] Women E**
It's an affair.
**[17:17] Women E**
It's a tiny association.
**[17:18] Women E**
Maybe they slept with a newcomer.
**[17:20] Women E**
Or they broke up and quit the group.
**[17:24] Women E**
I'm sure there's a person
or two they want to kill.
**[17:33] Rampo**
They have potato chips!
**[17:35] Rampo**
And the chocolates I missed out on!

**[17:40] Rampo**
I'm getting hungry, mister.
**[17:43] Rampo**
Hey, mister, are you listening?
**[17:49] Rampo**
I'm starving.
**[17:51] Rampo**
And I'm not getting that job.
**[17:53] Rampo**
Whatever.
**[17:55] Rampo**
Someone's going to die soon and
this theater's going to get shut down.
**[17:59] Fukuzawa**
I won't let the murder happen.
**[18:02] Fukuzawa**
That's why I was called here.
**[18:05] Fukuzawa**
Neither the theater nor the municipal
police are taking the threat seriously.
**[18:09] Fukuzawa**
Regardless of the motivation
behind the threat...
**[18:13] Rampo**
It's not a threat.
**[18:15] Rampo**
It's not a threat. It's a warning.
**[18:18] Rampo**
A threat always offers two options.
**[18:21] Rampo**
"Do ABC, or I will do XYZ."
**[18:24] Rampo**
That's a threat.
**[18:26] Rampo**
But right now, all we have is a warning
saying "we're going to kill a performer."
**[18:29] Rampo**
So, it's not a threat so
much as a declaration.
**[18:34] Rampo**
The attacker hasn't made any
demands of the theater to begin with.
**[18:38] Fukuzawa**
When did you realize that?
**[18:40] Rampo**
When I heard what the letter said.
**[18:46] (Flashback) Fukuzawa**
When did you realize the
secretary was the murderer?
**[18:49] (Flashback) Rampo**
From the beginning.
**[18:52] Fukuzawa**
*This boy must see truth.*
**[18:57] Fukuzawa**
Why didn't you say anything, if you knew?
**[19:00] Rampo**
I didn't think you'd misinterpreted
the warning as a threat.
**[19:06] Fukuzawa**
Do you believe everyone else
notices all the things you notice?
**[19:15] (Flashback) Rampo**
No documents have been stolen,
**[19:17] (Flashback) Rampo**
and the assassin didn't kill the president.
**[19:22] (Flashback) Rampo**
The reason you aren't introducing
him to the municipal police
**[19:25] (Flashback) Rampo**
is because you want him to
keep an eye on the police.
**[19:28] Fukuzawa**
* This boy doesn't understand that*
* nobody else knows anything.*
**[19:35] Fukuzawa**
* He's convinced that everyone*
* else already knows the truth*
**[19:39] Fukuzawa**
* and is simply hiding the*
* fact that they know.*
**[19:44] Fukuzawa**
Boy, what can you gather of me,
from what you see?
**[19:48] Fukuzawa**
You said you have nowhere
to stay tonight.
**[19:50] Rampo**
I don't.
**[19:52] Fukuzawa**
You can stay the night at my place.
**[19:55] Rampo**
Your place?
**[19:56] Fukuzawa**
Yeah.
**[19:57] Fukuzawa**
So, tell me.
**[19:59] Fukuzawa**
Tell me anything you notice about me.
**[20:02] Rampo**
Grown-ups sure do love their quid pro quos.
**[20:06] Rampo**
I've only just met you,
so there isn't much I can tell...
**[20:10] Rampo**
You're in your early thirties.
**[20:12] Rampo**
You're a bodyguard.
**[20:14] Rampo**
A master of martial arts.
**[20:16] Rampo**
Single.
**[20:17] Rampo**
No coworkers.
**[20:18] Rampo**
Right-handed.
**[20:19] Rampo**
You chose a seat by the
wall at the restaurant,
**[20:22] Rampo**
so you must be a swordsman, as well.
**[20:24] Rampo**
I guess that the reason you don't
use your katana for work anymore
**[20:27] Rampo**
is because you're ashamed of your last job.
**[20:30] Rampo**
What's a job that involves swordplay
and that you'd be ashamed of?
**[20:34] Rampo**
Come to think of it, there was some buzz
about an incident a few years ago...
**[20:38] Rampo**
Pro-war bureaucrats and overseas
military cliques were found dead
**[20:43] Rampo**
one after another during the
peace treaty debates.
**[20:47] Rampo**
And you were grimacing a bit as you looked
at the newspaper headline in the shop earlier.

***SIGN*** It has begun
**[00:01] Actress A**
It has begun.
**[00:05] Actress A**
We angels—
**[00:08] Actress A**
we wingless, fallen angels—
are about to be killed off, one by one,
**[00:17] Actress A**
by the true angels in heaven.
**[00:22] Actress B**
How foolish.
**[00:23] Actress B**
If the executor were an angel,
they would have no trouble killing us.
**[00:28] Actress B**
They'd need only play their trumpets.
**[00:30] Actress B**
They would have no reason
to resort to physical means.
**[00:33] Actress B**
This is a serial murder meant
to look like an angel's bidding,
**[00:37] Actress B**
carried out by someone here.
**[00:40] (Flashback) Manager**
"The angels shall bring true
death upon the performers. V."
**[00:45] Fukuzawa**
V?
**[00:47] Actor A**
Is that not foolish in itself?
**[00:50] Actor A**
We have no reason to kill one another.
**[00:53] Actor A**
What good would it do us to kill our own kind?
**[00:58] Actress B**
What do you think, Leader?
**[01:00] Actress C**
Leader!
**[01:01] Actor A**
Leader!
**[01:03] All**
Leader!
**[01:08] Murakami**
Is this the punishment given to us
fallen angels for adoring humanity?
**[01:15] Murakami**
Angels have been sent from
the heavens to purge us.
**[01:20] Murakami**
They are called "Gifted."
**[01:25] All**
"Gifted"?
**[01:27] Actress B**
"Gifted"?
**[01:28] Rampo**
Hey. What's a Gifted?
**[01:28] Murakami**
We are humans. We are of the earth,
**[01:30] Fukuzawa**
Just watch, and it'll make sense.
**[01:33] Murakami**
having rejected being angels
and choosing to become human.
**[01:36] Fukuzawa**
*Who is he?*
**[01:37] Murakami**
We dream, we love, and seek fulfillment
possible only because we are finite.
**[01:39] Rampo**
Hey, can I ask something?
**[01:40] Rampo**
The people here are paying
to watch this, right?
**[01:43] Actress B**
And we do not regret that decision.
**[01:45] Rampo**
Why doesn't anyone get upset at
being forced to sit through a show
**[01:46] Actress A**
To choose one's own way of being
is the truest form of the soul.
**[01:48] Rampo**
with such an obvious ending?
**[01:49] Fukuzawa**
Hey.
**[01:51] Rampo**
He's the murderer, isn't he?
**[01:51] Murakami**
Indeed.
**[01:52] Murakami**
And angels and humans are of
entirely different dimensions.
**[01:53] Rampo**
You can tell in the first five minutes.
**[01:54] Murakami**
Angels cannot have the fulfillment
which is the realm of humanity,
**[01:56] Fukuzawa**
Knock it off!
**[01:57] Murakami**
and humans are incapable of
the supremacy of angels.
**[01:59] Rampo**
Why?
**[02:00] Murakami**
Those who control humans from the
outside and those who enjoy fulfillment
**[02:00] Rampo**
Why is everyone watching this
play without complaining?
**[02:04] Murakami**
on the inside are like an author and their
characters: never shall they intertwine.
**[02:04] Rampo**
It really upsets me.
**[02:07] Rampo**
I don't get it.
**[02:07] Murakami**
And yet...
**[02:08] Actress A**
And yet?
**[02:09] Actress B**
And yet?
**[02:10] Murakami**
There are those who, despite being human, have
some fragment of angels' forbidden supremacy.
**[02:10] Rampo**
There's something everyone
else gets that I don't.
**[02:14] Murakami**
That is, oh, that is truly the cursed
soul that we call Gifted.
**[02:15] Rampo**
I don't get it.
**[02:17] Murakami**
None of us can possibly be
as sinful as the Gifted.
**[02:17] Rampo**
I'm scared.
**[02:18] Rampo**
It's like the world is filled with monsters,
**[02:19] Murakami**
The accursed Gifted snuff us out
one by one like prey for the hunt.
**[02:22] Rampo**
monsters that only I don't understand.
**[02:22] Murakami**
We must find these Gifted.
**[02:24] Murakami**
No, perhaps we must first hire a detective?
**[02:26] Rampo**
I'm all alone,
**[02:28] Rampo**
living in a world of monsters.
**[02:33] Announcement**
* There will now be a fifteen*
* minute intermission.*
**[02:36] Announcement**
*The second act will resume at 6:20.*
**[02:42] Fukuzawa**
Come.
**[02:45] Fukuzawa**
I'll give you the answer you're looking for.
**[02:50] Fukuzawa**
Have your parents said
anything about your talents?
**[02:55] Rampo**
Talents?
**[02:56] Rampo**
I wish I had talent.
**[02:58] Rampo**
It wouldn't be so hard to find work.
**[03:00] Fukuzawa**
No.
**[03:01] Fukuzawa**
You have a special talent.
**[03:05] Fukuzawa**
You were right.
**[03:07] Fukuzawa**
I used to carry a sword on my waist.
**[03:10] Fukuzawa**
I was known as the Master of Swords,
even within the government's ranks.
**[03:17] Fukuzawa**
My sword would bring peace to the nation.
**[03:20] Fukuzawa**
...or so I sincerely believed.
**[03:22] Fukuzawa**
That's why I killed.
**[03:24] Fukuzawa**
Assassination was far too easy.
**[03:27] Fukuzawa**
I only became fearful when I noticed
**[03:30] Fukuzawa**
that I was waiting eagerly
for the next assassination.
**[03:33] Fukuzawa**
I could no longer tell whether I was murdering
for my country or for the moment of the kill.
**[03:41] Fukuzawa**
That's when I decided
I'd never wield a sword again.
**[03:46] Fukuzawa**
No one else has ever learned
of my past occupation.
**[03:51] Fukuzawa**
You guessed the murderer
in the play earlier.
**[03:56] Fukuzawa**
I suspect you are the only one who
could have gleaned the answer so quickly.
**[04:00] Fukuzawa**
I wouldn't have known if I hadn't
read the script, either.
**[04:04] Fukuzawa**
Have you ever thought that the
people around you are all fools?
**[04:08] Fukuzawa**
That they're all clueless idiots?
**[04:15] Rampo**
Yes.
**[04:17] Fukuzawa**
Listen, and remember this.
**[04:19] Fukuzawa**
You are special.
**[04:21] Fukuzawa**
Other people *are* all fools.
**[04:23] Fukuzawa**
Including me.
**[04:26] Fukuzawa**
The reason you're alone is because
you have a special talent.
**[04:30] Rampo**
Special?
**[04:32] Fukuzawa**
But abilities need to be controlled.
**[04:36] Fukuzawa**
For you to pretend not
to notice your own talent
**[04:39] Fukuzawa**
is the same as my past self,
swinging a sword in pursuit of blood.
**[04:45] Rampo**
I'm the only one who's special?
**[04:47] Rampo**
How could that even happen?
**[04:49] Rampo**
Look at all the people in this city.
**[04:55] Fukuzawa**
Well...
**[04:56] Rampo**
Well?
**[04:57] Fukuzawa**
Because you're Gifted.
**[05:03] Fukuzawa**
You're special because you're Gifted.
**[05:07] Rampo**
Gifted?
**[05:08] Fukuzawa**
Your ability is one that allows you to
determine the truth at a single glance.
**[05:14] Fukuzawa**
There are numerous people
with special gifts in this world.
**[05:20] Fukuzawa**
It's because of your special ability that
the people around you look like monsters.
**[05:26] Fukuzawa**
You must control your ability.
**[05:30] Fukuzawa**
I'll teach you how.
**[05:32] Fukuzawa**
With the help of a certain individual,
**[05:35] Fukuzawa**
you'll become able to produce
your special ability on command.
**[05:38] Rampo**
A certain individual?
**[05:41] Fukuzawa**
Here.
**[05:43] Rampo**
Glasses?
**[05:44] Fukuzawa**
These were handed down
by a noble man from Kyoto.
**[05:51] Fukuzawa**
When you wear them,
your ability will be activated,
**[05:54] Fukuzawa**
and the truth will come to you instantly.
**[05:58] Fukuzawa**
And, when you aren't wearing them,
**[05:59] Fukuzawa**
you will no longer be bothered
by the foolishness of others.
**[06:03] Fukuzawa**
I'll give them to you.
**[06:07] Rampo**
These just look like a really
cheap pair of glasses.
**[06:10] Fukuzawa**
*Correct.*
**[06:12] Fukuzawa**
* They're a leftover I was forced*
* to buy at a trinket shop.*
**[06:16] Fukuzawa**
*But...*
**[06:17] Rampo**
I don't see a difference.
**[06:23] Fukuzawa**
Now, use those glasses to
control your special ability.
**[06:29] Rampo**
Control my special ability?
**[06:31] Fukuzawa**
That's right.
**[06:32] Fukuzawa**
Cut open the truth with your special ability
**[06:35] Fukuzawa**
and banish evil from the darkness
in which it lurks, Gifted detective!
**[06:40] Fukuzawa**
From today on, you are the
world's best detective.
**[06:43] Rampo**
Best detective?
**[06:44] Fukuzawa**
Isn't everything clear to you now?
**[06:48] Fukuzawa**
The world isn't terrifying at all.
**[06:51] Fukuzawa**
No one is a monster.
**[06:53] Fukuzawa**
They're simply far more
foolish than you are.
**[06:57] Rampo**
Really?
**[06:58] Fukuzawa**
No one bears any ill will towards you.
**[07:01] Fukuzawa**
They're stupid idiots.
**[07:03] Fukuzawa**
Mere children who don't
know how to see the world.
**[07:06] Rampo**
Children?
**[07:07] Rampo**
Everyone's just a stupid idiot?
**[07:09] Fukuzawa**
Yes.
**[07:11] Rampo**
They actually don't know anything?
**[07:14] Fukuzawa**
That's right.
**[07:16] Rampo**
But...
**[07:17] Fukuzawa**
Edogawa Rampo!
**[07:20] Fukuzawa**
The glasses have already accepted you.
**[07:22] Fukuzawa**
All that's left is for
you to open your mind.
**[07:25] Rampo**
Open my mind?
**[07:29] Rampo**
This creepy world...
**[07:32] Rampo**
That time, that time, that time,
and that time...
**[07:37] Rampo**
All that suffering wasn't because
there's something wrong with me,
**[07:42] Rampo**
but because there's something
wrong with the people around me?
**[07:48] Rampo**
Is that what it means?
**[07:51] Fukuzawa**
They are all clueless children.
**[07:54] Fukuzawa**
Would a baby who can't even hold
its head up ever despise another?
**[07:59] Rampo**
*He's right...*
**[08:07] Rampo**
No one ever despised me.
**[08:22] Rampo**
I see!
**[08:24] Rampo**
You're all babies!
**[08:25] Rampo**
The world isn't creepy at all!
**[08:28] Rampo**
You're just all stupid little idiots!
**[08:31] Rampo**
I have to protect all these silly children!
**[08:35] Fukuzawa**
Come on, Rampo...
**[08:36] Rampo**
There's something I have to do.
**[08:38] Rampo**
You head back to your seat, mister.
**[08:41] Rampo**
We still might be able to stop the murder.
**[08:43] Fukuzawa**
What?
**[08:45] Rampo**
The murderer will follow through with
their threat and commit the attack.
**[08:49] Rampo**
We just have to take advantage of that fact.
**[08:52] Fukuzawa**
What are you talking about?
**[08:53] Rampo**
I already see everything.
**[08:56] Rampo**
The enemy's goals,
their plans, everything.
**[08:59] Rampo**
So I want you to keep
an eye on the audience.
**[09:05] Fukuzawa**
All right.
**[09:07] Fukuzawa**
But be careful.
**[09:09] Rampo**
Don't worry!
**[09:10] Rampo**
After all, I'm the world's best detective,
on a mission to protect the world's fools!

Stay in your seats!
**[12:10] Fukuzawa**
If you flee, you could become
a suspect in the murder.
**[12:10] ---**
Takio! Takio!
**[12:18] (Flashback) Rampo**
So I want you to keep
an eye on the audience.
**[12:22] Fukuzawa**
*So the one who flees is the culprit.*
**[12:33] Fukuzawa**
*Where has Rampo gone?*
**[12:36] Mitamura**
Captain, a member of the
audience has disappeared.
**[12:39] Fukuzawa**
What?
**[12:40] Fukuzawa**
Pardon me.
**[12:43] Mitamura**
Why, hello, sir.
**[12:46] Mitamura**
Thank you for your work.
**[12:47] Fukuzawa**
I overheard that someone
fled from the audience.
**[12:49] Mitamura**
Yes.
**[12:50] Mitamura**
I'm sure we handled the lockdown
of the theater competently,
**[12:54] Mitamura**
but someone has vanished.
**[12:55] Fukuzawa**
What does this person look like
and which seat were they in?
**[12:58] Mitamura**
He was in the front row.
**[13:00] Mitamura**
Light-brown suit and a round hat.
**[13:02] Mitamura**
A dignified-looking, middle-aged man,
holding a wooden cane.
**[13:08] Fukuzawa**
*It's that man.*
**[13:10] Fukuzawa**
When did that man leave his seat?
**[13:12] Mitamura**
We have confirmation that he was there
when the performance began, but...
**[13:17] Fukuzawa**
I'm going to search the building.
**[13:20] Mitamura**
Wait, sir!
**[13:22] Fukuzawa**
*This is my fault.*
**[13:23] Fukuzawa**
*I instigated this.*
**[13:25] Fukuzawa**
* Rampo's just a boy. He doesn't*
* know how to protect himself.*
**[13:30] Fukuzawa**
*He may be a brilliant detective,*
**[13:33] Fukuzawa**
* but if the murderer attacks him*
* in a frenzy, he doesn't stand a chance.*
**[13:39] Fukuzawa**
*He can't activate his ability on his own.*
**[13:42] Fukuzawa**
* I need to become his*
* shield and fend off evil,*
**[13:45] Fukuzawa**
*so he's safe to engage in his reasoning.*
***SIGN*** A

**[13:58] Manager**
Fukuzawa-san.
**[14:03] Fukuzawa**
Sorry, but please make it quick.
**[14:05] Manager**
I have a message from Rampo-kun.
**[14:08] Fukuzawa**
Yes?
**[14:09] Manager**
Rampo-kun said there were two murderers.
**[14:14] (Flashback) Rampo**
This crime is comprised of
two different kinds of acts.
**[14:17] (Flashback) Rampo**
You could think of it like
a shrimp and a sea bream.
**[14:20] (Flashback) Rampo**
You could be satisfied with the shrimp,
which is easy to catch.
**[14:24] (Flashback) Rampo**
Shrimp's pretty tasty.
**[14:26] (Flashback) Rampo**
But if you want to catch the sea bream,
**[14:28] (Flashback) Rampo**
well, you're going to
have to use the shrimp.
**[14:33] Fukuzawa**
*That's so convoluted.*
**[14:35] Fukuzawa**
Where is Rampo?
**[14:37] Manager**
Dunno.
**[14:38] Manager**
He could be anywhere.
**[14:42] Fukuzawa**
Murakami was the one who was
murdered, so why talk to me?
**[14:45] Manager**
Because Rampo-kun told me the
truth about part of the case.
**[14:50] Manager**
Fukuzawa-san, who is that kid?
**[14:54] Manager**
I have no doubt that he's
an excellent detective,
**[14:57] Manager**
but is he really Gifted,
the way he says he is?
**[15:03] Fukuzawa**
What happened?
**[15:05] Manager**
He's the only one who
sees the whole picture.
**[15:08] Manager**
"I'm going to solve the whole thing,
so get your butt to the seats," he said.
**[15:23] Rampo**
I am the deus ex machina, here to solve
the case at the very end of this play!
**[15:29] Rampo**
Basically, I'm Gifted
and a brilliant detective.
**[15:34] Rampo**
Anyway, let's get to the chapter
where it's all solved.
**[15:37] Rampo**
I was listening to the murmuring earlier.
**[15:41] Rampo**
It seems like a lot of you
think the angel killed him.
**[15:47] Rampo**
Just so you know, angels...
**[15:51] Rampo**
do exist.
**[15:53] Rampo**
You, the audience, are the angels.
**[15:56] Rampo**
This murder and this play
are deeply connected.
**[16:01] Rampo**
This play is about a turning of tides.
**[16:03] Rampo**
The tables turn between
the angels and humans,
**[16:05] Rampo**
and the executors become the executed.
**[16:08] Rampo**
There's an empty seat there.
**[16:12] Rampo**
The municipal police think the gentleman who
vanished from that seat is the culprit.
**[16:16] Rampo**
But this is a story about a reversal.
**[16:19] Rampo**
The power dynamic shifts,
**[16:21] Rampo**
and the victim and attacker swap seats.
**[16:24] Rampo**
In other words, he isn't the attacker.
**[16:28] Rampo**
He's the victim.
**[16:30] Rampo**
And the victim was here all along.
**[16:38] Rampo**
This is the turning of the tide.
**[16:47] Rampo**
And thus the attacker has become the victim.
**[16:50] Rampo**
Now, policemen, it's your turn.
**[16:54] Rampo**
He's just unconscious.
**[16:55] Rampo**
You don't have to be in such a hurry.
**[16:58] Rampo**
Now, here's the elephant in the room.
**[17:03] Rampo**
Who is that man and why did
he have to be abducted?
**[17:08] Rampo**
You could obviously ask the attacker.
**[17:12] Rampo**
There was never a murder to begin with.
**[17:17] Rampo**
Now, show yourself, fallen one!
**[17:27] Fukuzawa**
What?!
**[17:31] Murakami**
When did you realize?
**[17:32] Rampo**
From the beginning.
**[17:34] Rampo**
When I first met you in the green room,
**[17:36] Rampo**
you looked pale and you were
chugging a ton of water.
**[17:40] Rampo**
That was because you'd just drawn blood.
**[17:43] Rampo**
In order to throw off the security police,
the municipal police, and the forensic experts,
**[17:47] Rampo**
you had to use your own fresh blood.
**[17:50] Rampo**
To fake your own pulse, you used the
silicon rubber stuff you use in plays.
**[17:56] Rampo**
You needed the stagewright's
cooperation to pull off this play.
**[18:01] Rampo**
He's an accomplice, isn't he?
**[18:03] Murakami**
That's right.
**[18:04] Murakami**
The stagewright and I planned it together.
**[18:07] Murakami**
To think that an impossible Gifted
would show up as a detective...
**[18:12] Rampo**
Not just any detective. The *best* detective.
**[18:15] Murakami**
I am...
**[18:17] Murakami**
I'm an actor.
**[18:20] Murakami**
I become something I'm not and
build a life that doesn't exist,
**[18:25] Murakami**
all to carry out my job of
exposing what humanity truly is.
**[18:29] Murakami**
There's something unavoidable when
you're trying to dramatize a way of life.
**[18:33] Murakami**
That is death.
**[18:35] Murakami**
My ultimate task was to play a real death.
**[18:40] Murakami**
To me, that is what it means to
reach the pinnacle of acting.
**[18:44] Murakami**
I am the first ever actor to play death.
**[18:47] Murakami**
I wanted the audience here to see that.
**[18:54] Murakami**
I have no regrets.
**[18:56] Murakami**
This is how I live my life.
**[19:01] Rampo**
I think you're amazing.
**[19:02] Rampo**
That's not something anyone can do.
**[19:05] Rampo**
Speaking of which...
**[19:07] Rampo**
Look at all the faces in the audience.
**[19:14] Rampo**
Everyone here has two things in common.
**[19:18] Rampo**
One is that they came
specifically to see your play.
**[19:22] Rampo**
The other is that they've witnessed
a person's death up close.
**[19:27] Rampo**
I'm not really sure, but does forcing
the audience make such a face...
**[19:34] Rampo**
really count as the pinnacle of acting?
**[19:46] Murakami**
I see...
**[19:49] Murakami**
I was doing all this acting for myself.
**[20:05] Fukuzawa**
Rampo.
**[20:07] Rampo**
These glasses are awesome, mister!
**[20:10] Fukuzawa**
About that...
**[20:12] Rampo**
With these glasses and my special ability,
I'm going to be unstoppable!
**[20:17] Mitamura**
Thank you, sirs!
**[20:21] Mitamura**
Ever since I saw you, security policeman,
**[20:24] Mitamura**
I was convinced that you
would solve the case.
**[20:27] Mitamura**
I never would have thought you'd
have such a secret weapon.
**[20:31] Fukuzawa**
About that...
**[20:33] Mitamura**
I believe we must have you explain the
resolution of the case at our station.
**[20:39] Rampo**
Sure, but can I have that in my permit?
**[20:42] Rampo**
"It's all thanks to my special
abilities that we solved the case!"
**[20:46] Rampo**
Just kidding.
**[20:48] Mitamura**
You're Gifted?!
**[20:49] Mitamura**
Like in the play?
**[20:51] Mitamura**
Amazing!
**[20:52] Mitamura**
Our young detective is Gifted?!
**[20:54] Rampo**
That's right.
**[20:55] Rampo**
A Gifted crime-solver.
**[20:58] Rampo**
Brilliant detective Edogawa Rampo,
at your service!
**[21:00] Fukuzawa**
Hold it.
**[21:02] Fukuzawa**
Sir, I'll handle the police hearing.
**[21:06] Fukuzawa**
Rampo is exhausted from his detective work.
**[21:09] Rampo**
Huh? I'm totally fine.
**[21:11] Fukuzawa**
You simply inferred the truth
through observation and deduction.
**[21:16] Fukuzawa**
You never used any special ability.
**[21:18] Rampo**
What are you talking about?
**[21:20] Rampo**
You're the one who said I'm Gifted.
**[21:23] Fukuzawa**
I'm telling you...
**[21:24] Rampo**
Come on, do you seriously think
**[21:27] Rampo**
I could have instantly seen through
the case if I wasn't Gifted?
**[21:30] Mitamura**
I don't think so!
**[21:33] Rampo**
If the police are going to suck up to me,
now's the time to do it!
**[21:38] Rampo**
The ability to solve crimes instantly
**[21:41] Rampo**
is a godly power that
can threaten the police's jobs.
**[21:44] Mitamura**
Sir!
**[21:45] Rampo**
I can't wait to ride in the police car!
**[21:48] Rampo**
Seems like this is going to take you a while,
so I'll see you there, mister.
**[21:54] Fukuzawa**
All right.
**[21:56] Fukuzawa**
I'm going to discuss the cleanup
tasks with Egawa-san.
**[21:59] Fukuzawa**
I'll see you there.
**[22:01] Fukuzawa**
Officer, please take care of Rampo.
**[22:04] Mitamura**
Understood!
**[22:05] Mitamura**
Bye.
**[22:11] Rampo**
Fukuzawa-san!
**[22:14] Rampo**
See ya later!
**[22:23] Fukuzawa**
Fukuzawa-san, huh?
**[22:27] Fukuzawa**
Do you have a moment?
**[22:29] Manager**
Fukuzawa-san.
**[22:31] Fukuzawa**
May I ask you something?
**[22:33] Fukuzawa**
Who was the man that was
unconscious for a while?
**[22:37] Murakami**
I'm told that the gentleman is
the other aim of this project.
**[22:42] Fukuzawa**
You were *told?*
**[22:44] Murakami**
I planned this project with
the stagewright, Kurahashi.
**[22:48] Murakami**
But he seemed to have plans of his own.
**[22:52] Murakami**
The gentleman in the suit
rarely appears in public.
**[22:55] Murakami**
Apparently, capturing him
was one of the objectives.
**[22:59] Detective**
Fukuzawa-sensei!
**[23:01] Detective**
Has the victim been here the whole time?
**[23:04] Fukuzawa**
What's the matter?
**[23:05] Detective**
The stagewright's been
murdered in his room!
**[23:08] Fukuzawa**
What?!
**[23:09] Murakami**
No...
**[23:11] Detective**
There doesn't seem to be any
sign of a struggle at the scene.
**[23:14] Detective**
He's been impaled from
behind in his own, locked room.
**[23:22] Manager**
A murder in a closed room?
**[23:25] Fukuzawa**
What is going on?
**[23:30] Rampo**
Hey, officer, are we there yet?
**[23:33] Mitamura**
Soon.

**[00:03] Man A**
*This is Kanagawa Traffic Police Unit 205.*
**[00:06] Man A**
* Arrest made at scene. Middle-aged male;*
* requesting identity check.*
**[00:10] Rampo**
Mister Officer, are we there yet?
**[00:14] Mitamura**
Almost.
**[00:17] Mitamura**
That was impressive, though.
**[00:20] Mitamura**
You're literally a little detective.
**[00:22] Mitamura**
You and the bodyguard would
make an excellent detective duo.
**[00:27] Rampo**
I don't think that guy has any
interest in working with me, though.
**[00:31] Mitamura**
Oh, is that so?
**[00:34] Rampo**
That guy's afraid of strangers.
**[00:36] Mitamura**
You've only just met him,
yet you know him so well.
**[00:40] Mitamura**
You truly are gifted.
**[00:42] Mitamura**
You have the ability to see
through the truth, don't you?
**[00:47] Rampo**
Though...
**[00:48] Rampo**
You don't actually believe that, do you?
**[00:53] Rampo**
I mean, you said I've only just met him.
**[00:58] Rampo**
That means you just checked
in with headquarters
**[01:00] Rampo**
and found out that I only met Fukuzawa-san
after the president's assassination.
**[01:06] Rampo**
You wanted to test my ability.
**[01:09] Mitamura**
Impressive.
**[01:11] Mitamura**
Shucks, I really underestimated you.
**[01:14] Rampo**
I hate that you're still doubting me.
**[01:17] Rampo**
Want me to prove that I'm Gifted?
**[01:20] Mitamura**
What an honor!
**[01:22] Mitamura**
I get a front-row seat to a
Gifted detective at work.
**[01:26] Rampo**
This car isn't headed to
the police station, is it?
**[01:31] Mitamura**
I should have told you sooner.
**[01:33] Mitamura**
I'm sorry.
**[01:35] Mitamura**
I received a dispatch just before we left.
**[01:37] Mitamura**
There's been an incident,
**[01:39] Mitamura**
and they want me to take the
expert detective there.
**[01:42] Rampo**
I see.
**[01:44] Mitamura**
But I don't think you needed to use your
special ability to figure that out.
**[01:48] Mitamura**
The police station is
towards the train station.
**[01:51] Mitamura**
It doesn't take much to realize
we're going the wrong way.
**[01:54] Rampo**
Let's do this, then.
**[01:55] Rampo**
You can ask me anything
about the last incident.
**[01:59] Rampo**
If I can't answer your question, you win.
**[02:03] Rampo**
If you run out of questions, I win.
**[02:05] Rampo**
How's that?
**[02:06] Mitamura**
Makes sense.
**[02:08] Mitamura**
Okay, here's a question
I'm sure is on everyone's mind:
**[02:12] Mitamura**
You know the gentleman in the
suit who was arrested on stage?
**[02:16] Mitamura**
How do you think he was
captured and taken there?
**[02:20] Rampo**
A rug.
**[02:22] Mitamura**
A rug?
**[02:23] Rampo**
You remember the high-pile rugs in the hall?
**[02:27] Rampo**
One of them was missing
after the whole panic.
**[02:31] Rampo**
Also, there was a faint odor
where the rug was.
**[02:36] Rampo**
It's like...
**[02:38] Rampo**
That weird-smelling stuff they use
to make paint and plastics and stuff.
**[02:42] Mitamura**
Organic solvent?
**[02:43] Rampo**
Yeah! That's it!
**[02:45] Rampo**
I caught a whiff of the same smell
from that gentleman in the suit.
**[02:49] Rampo**
Which means the attacker must have wrapped
him up in the rug and taken him there.
**[02:55] Rampo**
The attacker used the organic
solvent to knock him out first.
**[03:00] Mitamura**
There was certainly a lot of commotion,
with actors and municipal police at the scene.
**[03:05] Mitamura**
A man moving a rug around might not
have drawn that much attention.
**[03:12] Mitamura**
Still, we're certain that it was
the accomplice, the stagewright,
**[03:15] Mitamura**
who moved the man. Correct?
**[03:17] Rampo**
It wasn't the stagewright.
**[03:19] Rampo**
I think he was probably murdered
before the performance.
**[03:25] Rampo**
Everyone else besides me is thoroughly
stupid and foolish and worthy of compassion.
**[03:30] Rampo**
So I wish I could have saved him,
**[03:33] Rampo**
but there isn't much I can do for someone
who's been dead since before the case.
**[03:37] Rampo**
Why would they do all that just
to abduct one person, though?
**[03:42] Mitamura**
An abduction?
**[03:44] Rampo**
The whole project was a elaborate trap set up
just to abduct the gentleman in the suit.
**[03:53] Rampo**
The stagewright and the main star,
Murakami-san, were just pawns to that end.
**[03:59] Rampo**
Well?
**[04:00] Rampo**
Now do you believe I'm Gifted?
**[04:04] Rampo**
So come on...
**[04:06] Rampo**
Just tell me where this car's going already.
**[04:10] Rampo**
Well, Mister So-Called Officer,
who smells of organic solvent?
**[05:49] Fukuzawa**
Why can't you get in touch with them?
**[05:51] Officer A**
We still don't have confirmation that
they arrived at the station yet.
**[05:54] Officer B**
Nor can we connect to the
police radio in the vehicle.
**[05:58] Fukuzawa**
*The stagewright was murdered.*
**[06:05] Fukuzawa**
* Judging from what Rampo told*
* Egawa Joshi, this case isn't over yet.*
**[06:12] (Flashback) Rampo**
This crime is comprised of
two different kinds of acts.
**[06:16] (Flashback) Rampo**
You could think of it like
a shrimp and a sea bream.
**[06:19] Fukuzawa**
*The real perpetrator is still on the loose.*
**[06:21] (Flashback) Rampo**
You could be satisfied with the shrimp,
which is easy to catch.
**[06:25] Fukuzawa**
* He must be talking about*
* the actor, Murakami.*
**[06:28] (Flashback) Rampo**
But if you want to catch the sea bream,
**[06:30] (Flashback) Rampo**
well, you're going to
have to use the shrimp.
**[06:34] Fukuzawa**
* So the true perpetrator is plotting an even*
* larger crime using the actor, Murakami,*
**[06:37] Fukuzawa**
*and the stagewright, Kurahashi.*
**[06:41] Fukuzawa**
* Rampo is intent on*
* exposing that perpetrator.*
**[06:44] Fukuzawa**
What's the name of the officer who
went to the station with Rampo?
**[06:47] Detective**
Senior Officer Mitamura.
**[06:49] Detective**
His phone's been switched off, as well.
**[06:55] Fukuzawa**
*What's happened to Rampo?*
**[07:04] Fukuzawa**
*Where is Rampo?*
***SIGN*** Fukuzawa
Yukichi
**[07:23] (Flashback) Rampo**
See ya later!
**[07:31] Fukuzawa**
That must be when...
***SIGN*** The perpetrator
is Mitamura
***SIGN*** Find the cane
**[07:36] Mitamura**
Unbelievable... Truly unbelievable!
**[07:39] Mitamura**
To think we didn't have such an
exceptional Gifted on our research list...
**[07:47] Mitamura**
Officially, this place is an office
for a shipbuilding firm.
**[07:50] Mitamura**
It's what you'd call a shell company.
**[07:56] Mitamura**
Anyway, have a seat.
**[07:58] Rampo**
A gun, huh?
**[07:59] Mitamura**
Oh.
**[08:02] Mitamura**
I have no intention of using it...
**[08:04] Mitamura**
As long as you do as I say.
**[08:23] Fukuzawa**
That's the cane!
**[08:31] Fukuzawa**
A concealed weapon.
**[08:43] Fukuzawa**
Damn...
**[08:45] Fukuzawa**
That gentleman!
**[08:59] Fukuchi**
*Have you changed your mind?*
**[09:01] Fukuzawa**
I have a request.
**[09:05] Rampo**
Well?
**[09:06] Rampo**
Where are we?
**[09:09] Mitamura**
Like I said, it's one of
our convenient outposts.
**[09:13] Rampo**
"Our"?
**[09:15] Mitamura**
I don't mean the
municipal police, of course.
**[09:20] Rampo**
Four career soldiers with guns on guard.
**[09:24] Rampo**
No...
**[09:26] Rampo**
There are five.
**[09:28] Mitamura**
Magnificent!
**[09:30] Mitamura**
How did you know?
**[09:31] Rampo**
Because that's my special ability.
**[09:34] Mitamura**
They don't have the slightest
intention of harming you, though.
**[09:39] Mitamura**
Those men were prepared to keep
an eye on the original target—
**[09:46] Mitamura**
the gentleman you
revealed on the stage.
**[09:51] Rampo**
And the gentleman got away.
**[09:54] Rampo**
So, why did you bring me here?
**[09:57] Mitamura**
The plot at the theater
was pretty elaborate.
**[10:01] Mitamura**
The brass is furious that their
investment's been ruined.
**[10:05] Mitamura**
They're insisting that I catch the
guy who messed everything up.
**[10:10] Mitamura**
Make him explain how he
saw through the scheme.
**[10:12] Mitamura**
Where he got the information.
**[10:16] Mitamura**
Otherwise, we'll be forced to follow our
orders to hurt you, though we disagree.
**[10:23] Mitamura**
You wouldn't want that, would you?
**[10:25] Mitamura**
So I have a proposal for you,
Mister Gifted Detective...
**[10:30] Mitamura**
Would you like to work with us?
**[10:34] Mitamura**
We have a vision.
**[10:36] Mitamura**
To rid this country of evil people.
**[10:41] Mitamura**
An excellent Gifted such as yourself
would be more than welcome.
**[10:46] Mitamura**
What do you think?
**[10:49] Rampo**
Oh, sorry,
**[10:52] Rampo**
I got bored of your long rambling.
**[10:54] Rampo**
I wasn't listening at all.
**[11:00] Fukuzawa**
How do you like your cell?
**[11:03] Odasaku**
Not bad.
**[11:05] Odasaku**
There's air conditioning.
**[11:08] Odasaku**
I told them I was bored,
and they gave me this.
**[11:10] Odasaku**
I guess they're telling me to repent.
**[11:13] Fukuzawa**
I'm here with a question.
**[11:16] Fukuzawa**
Look at this.
**[11:19] Fukuzawa**
This is a memory device employed
by a certain government agency.
**[11:23] Fukuzawa**
It's a device used by those
under witness protection
**[11:26] Fukuzawa**
to communicate with the protection agency.
**[11:29] Fukuzawa**
Only high-priority people being targeted
by criminal organizations would have one.
**[11:34] Fukuzawa**
Such people all have one thing in common:
**[11:38] Fukuzawa**
They're all Gifted.
**[11:41] Fukuzawa**
I'm sure someone as capable as you would
have taken external clients, as well.
**[11:47] Fukuzawa**
Have you accepted any requests
to capture a Gifted recently?
**[11:51] Odasaku**
I can't talk about my clients.
**[11:53] Fukuzawa**
It doesn't have to have been a client.
**[11:55] Fukuzawa**
Have you heard anything recently
about capturing a Gifted alive?
**[12:02] Fukuzawa**
The request may have come from
someone who calls themselves V.
**[12:09] Odasaku**
I don't want to talk about them.
**[12:13] Odasaku**
Do you know what their objective is?
**[12:16] Fukuzawa**
No.
**[12:17] Odasaku**
It's a "great cause."
**[12:19] Odasaku**
Killing for money, killing out of spite...
**[12:22] Odasaku**
Those causes make sense to me.
**[12:25] Odasaku**
But to them, the killing itself is the great cause.
**[12:28] Odasaku**
I don't want to get involved
with those types.
**[12:31] Odasaku**
When the killing itself is the great cause,
it doesn't matter who you kill.
**[12:39] Odasaku**
That's where you ultimately end up.
**[12:56] Fukuzawa**
I'm not ordering you to fight them.
**[12:59] Fukuzawa**
An acquaintance of mine
has been abducted by them.
**[13:03] Fukuzawa**
Do you know where they might be holding him?
**[13:06] Odasaku**
I have no reason to tell you.
**[13:08] Fukuzawa**
You're absolutely right.
**[13:11] Fukuzawa**
But if you do tell me,
**[13:13] Fukuzawa**
I'll testify that you fired in self-defense
and killed him by accident.
**[13:21] Fukuzawa**
They'll let you out immediately.
**[13:33] Odasaku**
I'm surprised.
**[13:35] Odasaku**
You don't look like the kind of person
who would sell out on justice like that.
**[13:41] Fukuzawa**
*I didn't think I was, either.*
**[13:44] Odasaku**
I've always worked as a killer on my own.
**[13:49] Odasaku**
I've never wanted any
coworkers or superiors.
**[13:53] Odasaku**
But if a skilled martial
artist such as yourself
**[13:57] Odasaku**
would go against your principles
just to save your subordinate...
**[14:00] Odasaku**
He's lucky to have you.
**[14:02] Odasaku**
I envy him a little.
**[14:05] Fukuzawa**
No.
**[14:07] Fukuzawa**
*He isn't a subordinate.*
**[14:09] Odasaku**
I've heard about several buildings
they use for their dealings.
**[14:15] Fukuzawa**
Do we have an agreement?
**[14:17] Odasaku**
I could escape at any point if I wanted to.
**[14:21] Odasaku**
The reward you're promising
isn't quite worth it.
**[14:24] Odasaku**
But the food at this facility is awful.
**[14:28] Odasaku**
If you happen to have some sway here,
would you mind talking to them?
**[14:33] Fukuzawa**
Any requests?
**[14:39] Odasaku**
Curry rice.
**[14:45] Mitamura**
Listen up, great detective.
**[14:48] Mitamura**
Our organization is formidable and flawless.
**[14:51] Mitamura**
I think it would be far more rewarding than
teaming up with that bodyguard.
**[14:57] Rampo**
Moo.
**[14:59] Rampo**
I can't pay attention to things
I have no interest in.
**[15:04] Rampo**
It just sounds like cattle mooing to me.
**[15:06] Rampo**
Moo!
**[15:07] Rampo**
Moo!
**[15:09] Mitamura**
You're extremely fortunate that
I'm the one you're negotiating with.
**[15:13] Mitamura**
Anyone else might have started sawing you
apart from your nails upward by now.
**[15:18] Rampo**
He's mooing again.
**[15:19] Rampo**
Moo!
**[15:20] Rampo**
Moo!
**[15:22] Mitamura**
Looks like we need to use this to
move the conversation forward.
**[15:27] Mitamura**
You can use your gift to see
through the truth. So what?
**[15:31] Mitamura**
You're too feeble to stop a single bullet.
**[15:35] Mitamura**
I only gave you my time for the
sake of our grand objective.
**[15:40] Mitamura**
We'll wipe out all the Gifted
rotting this country's foundations.
**[15:45] Rampo**
I see.
**[15:48] Rampo**
V is an organization of Gifted
brought together to drive out Gifted.
**[15:54] Rampo**
Oh, wait, gimme a sec.
**[15:58] Rampo**
By my predictions,
**[16:00] Rampo**
you have three seconds.
**[16:03] Rampo**
Two.
**[16:06] Rampo**
One.
**[16:13] Fukuzawa**
I took out one of the guards outside.
**[16:16] Fukuzawa**
How many more are there?
**[16:19] Rampo**
Four.
**[16:37] Mitamura**
One more.
**[16:48] Guard**
Freaks!
**[17:06] Fukuzawa**
Are you all right?
**[17:07] Rampo**
Yeah!
**[17:10] Rampo**
Wow, that went better than I expected.
**[17:12] Rampo**
Although you arrived just in time,
just as I calculated.
**[17:27] Fukuzawa**
Screw you!
**[17:29] Fukuzawa**
To hell with your damn calculations!
**[17:30] Fukuzawa**
When I got here, I saw a
gun pointed at your face.
**[17:35] Rampo**
That was only because I knew you would come!
**[17:38] Fukuzawa**
Showing off your abilities is fine.
**[17:41] Fukuzawa**
And using your intellect to
face powerful enemies is good.
**[17:44] Fukuzawa**
But stop wagering your own
life on your gambles!
**[17:53] Fukuzawa**
You're still a child.
**[18:03] Rampo**
I'm sorry.
**[18:05] Rampo**
I'm sorry.
**[18:07] Rampo**
I'm sorry.
**[18:08] Rampo**
I'm sorry.
**[18:11] Rampo**
I'm sorry.
**[18:12] Rampo**
I'm sorry.
**[18:13] Rampo**
I'm sorry.
**[18:14] Rampo**
I'm sorry.
**[18:15] Rampo**
I'm sorry.
**[18:16] Rampo**
I'm sorry.
**[18:17] Rampo**
I'm sorry.
**[18:19] Rampo**
I'm sorry.
**[18:20] Rampo**
I'm sorry.
**[18:34] Fukuzawa**
Officer Mitamura was
murdered while in custody.
**[18:37] Rampo**
He's been silenced.
**[18:41] Fukuzawa**
So the plot continues.
**[18:44] Fukuzawa**
But who is the perpetrator
of the last incident, V?
**[18:51] Fyodor**
It's not "V."
**[18:54] Fyodor**
It's Five.
**[19:04] Fukuzawa**
What is it?
**[19:07] Rampo**
I was just thinking, the cityscape looks
different somehow, compared to yesterday.
**[19:13] Rampo**
Why do you think?
**[19:15] Fukuzawa**
Because you understand now.
**[19:18] Rampo**
That I'm Gifted?
**[19:21] Fukuzawa**
Not that.
**[19:23] Fukuzawa**
You understand what's important.
**[19:32] Odasaku**
Curry...
**[19:38] Odasaku**
So spicy!
**[19:39] Odasaku**
But so good.
**[21:18] Fukuzawa**
Is this it?
**[21:20] Rampo**
Should be.
**[21:33] Soseki**
Welcome to Bankoudou.
**[21:39] Soseki**
Oh.
**[21:40] Soseki**
The cane I lost a while back.
**[21:44] Fukuzawa**
I happened to hear about you,
**[21:47] Fukuzawa**
so I took the liberty of coming
to discuss your proposal.
**[21:52] Soseki**
Don't be so formal about it.
**[21:54] Soseki**
Have a seat.
**[21:55] Fukuzawa**
Sir.
**[21:59] Rampo**
No way...
**[22:01] Rampo**
I never noticed at the time,
but is this man really so...
**[22:05] Soseki**
I owe you one, boy.
**[22:08] Rampo**
Right!
**[22:09] Rampo**
You saw through the trap from
the beginning of the play,
**[22:13] Rampo**
and you let capture you anyway.
**[22:16] Rampo**
You flushed out the enemy
so that we would catch them.
**[22:21] Soseki**
Though the sea bream seems
to have gotten away.
**[22:24] Fukuzawa**
I have come with a request.
**[22:27] Fukuzawa**
As I'm sure you're aware,
**[22:29] Fukuzawa**
Edogawa Rampo here is building a reputation
for himself as a Gifted detective,
**[22:33] Fukuzawa**
but it's taboo for a Gifted
to promote themselves publicly.
**[22:39] Fukuzawa**
That's why I would like your help.
**[22:43] Soseki**
A Gifted Business Permit. I see.
**[22:46] Soseki**
So you intend to start a business.
**[22:50] Fukuzawa**
Yes.
**[22:52] Fukuzawa**
In order to obtain a permit
**[22:54] Fukuzawa**
from the Gifted Special Operations Division,
I require your vast knowledge in that area.
**[23:00] Fukuzawa**
Natsume Soseki, sir.
**[23:04] Soseki**
It won't be an easy path,
**[23:08] Soseki**
but I think you can make it happen.
**[23:13] Soseki**
If anyone can, it will be you two.

**[02:01] Rampo**
Listen.
**[02:02] Rampo**
I'll get you out of here.
**[02:10] Rampo**
Are you listening to me, Kunikida?
**[02:13] Kunikida**
Don't mind me, Rampo-san.
**[02:16] Kunikida**
It's only right for a
suspect to be detained.
**[02:19] Rampo**
You're suspected of murder.
**[02:22] Rampo**
The girl set off the
grenades with her own hands.
**[02:25] Rampo**
That's your claim.
**[02:28] Rampo**
But there are no witnesses, and all
evidence was destroyed by the enemy.
**[02:33] Rampo**
They even went to the trouble
**[02:34] Rampo**
of making sure the grenades matched
the model used by the Agency.
**[02:38] Rampo**
You've been framed.
**[02:40] Rampo**
Part of an operation by the Rats.
**[02:42] Rampo**
Or rather, a way to harass us
that happened to be convenient.
**[02:46] Kunikida**
I...
**[02:48] Rampo**
Will you accept the charge out of guilt?
**[02:52] Rampo**
I don't care about your inner conflict.
**[02:55] Rampo**
I'm making sure you're found innocent.
**[02:57] Rampo**
The Rats must have someone who
specializes in destroying evidence.
**[03:01] Rampo**
We'll capture him.
**[03:04] Rampo**
I won't let anyone object.
**[03:06] Rampo**
Not the Agency or the boss.
**[03:09] Kunikida**
Rampo-san...
**[03:10] Kunikida**
Why go to such lengths?

**[03:27] Poe**
Challenging.
**[03:30] Poe**
Anything that torments the grand intellect
of one such as myself, Poe, is to be feared.
**[03:36] Poe**
Still, I shall be the first to solve
this mystery of the far east!
**[03:53] Rampo**
Poe-kun!
**[03:54] Rampo**
What a coincidence.
**[03:55] Poe**
R-Rampo-kun?
**[03:57] Rampo**
Whatcha doing here?
**[03:59] Rampo**
Oh.
**[04:00] Rampo**
Waiting for someone?
**[04:02] Poe**
He figured me out!
**[04:04] Poe**
I won something in an auction.
**[04:07] Poe**
I'm here to retrieve it.
**[04:08] Poe**
And what brings you here, Rampo-kun?
**[04:11] Poe**
Also...
**[04:13] Poe**
Why are you dressed like that?
**[04:15] Rampo**
Finally, someone notices it.
**[04:18] Rampo**
I went against the boss's orders
in the cannibalism incident.
**[04:23] Rampo**
He had me work as the mascot
of the company, so I ran away.
**[04:27] Rampo**
Anyway, good seeing you here!
**[04:30] Rampo**
Give me a hand!
**[04:32] Poe**
R-Rampo-kun!
**[04:33] Poe**
I'm supposed to be meeting someone!
**[04:36] Poe**
Karl bit me!
**[04:39] Poe**
I see.
**[04:41] Poe**
So this enemy "evidence destroyer" will
be showing up at this observation deck.
**[04:47] Rampo**
*Yup.*
**[04:48] Poe**
* Then wouldn't it be better*
* if you helped me spot them?*
**[04:51] Rampo**
He knows who I am.
**[04:53] Rampo**
The evidence destroyer is Fyodor's
ally and right-hand man.
**[04:57] Rampo**
*An expert in information manipulation.*
**[05:00] Poe**
*I have prior arrangements...*
**[05:03] Poe**
* But I have a hard time*
* saying no to Rampo-kun.*
**[05:06] Rampo**
* The only info we have on the evidence*
* destroyer is the photo I gave you.*
**[05:12] Poe**
He looks like he wouldn't have many friends.
**[05:15] Rampo**
You're not one to talk.
**[05:18] Poe**
Though...
**[05:19] Poe**
What made you suspect he will show up here?
**[05:23] Rampo**
*A Gifted that we captured fessed up.*
**[05:26] Rampo**
*Then again...*
**[05:28] Rampo**
He seemed like a skeevy little grunt.
**[05:31] Rampo**
*It might have been bogus.*
**[05:34] Poe**
The time's passed.
**[05:36] Poe**
He hasn't shown up.
**[05:39] Rampo**
I'm bored.
**[05:40] Rampo**
Poe-kun, say something funny.
**[05:42] Poe**
That's a tall order!
**[05:44] Poe**
Oh, how about I tell you about the
mystery I've been working on?
**[05:50] Poe**
The talk of the town is...
**[05:52] Rampo**
No!
**[05:52] Rampo**
Mystery?!
**[05:54] Rampo**
I'd rather play with the
kids in the neighborhood.
**[05:57] Poe**
*Oh, no.*
**[05:58] Poe**
This author has in fact been murdered.
**[06:01] Poe**
In the exact same way he
described in his novel, in fact.
**[06:07] Poe**
The first three chapters of the
novel were published in a magazine.
**[06:11] Poe**
He died right after the manuscript
for the fourth and final chapter,
**[06:15] Poe**
the resolution, was finished.
**[06:18] Poe**
And, after the crime, the murderer stole
the fourth chapter from the scene.
**[06:23] Poe**
Why?
**[06:24] Rampo**
Because the truth and trick behind the
murder was written in the fourth chapter.
**[06:31] Poe**
The victim was a mystery novelist
using the pen name "Kindaichi."
**[06:34] Poe**
He was a well-known, talented author,
so his death set the public astir.
**[06:38] Poe**
The entire industry pored over
the first three chapters,
**[06:41] Poe**
but alas, they all failed
to solve the mystery.
**[06:43] Poe**
I'm working on it myself,
but it's quite the—
**[06:47] Poe**
Rampo-kun?!
**[06:49] Rampo**
You don't have anything better to do, huh?
**[06:50] Poe**
Weren't you supposed to
wait on another floor?
**[06:53] Rampo**
I'm pissed that he hasn't shown up,
so I came up with a way to blow off steam.
**[06:56] Rampo**
I'm going to guess who murdered
the author right here.
**[07:00] Poe**
S-Stop it!
**[07:02] Rampo**
We'll know who did it by
tomorrow, either way.
**[07:04] Poe**
Tomorrow?
**[07:05] Poe**
How?
**[07:06] Rampo**
The murderer had two motives:
revenge and money.
**[07:10] Rampo**
The murderer was told what
happens in the fourth chapter,
**[07:13] Rampo**
which means they were pretty
close to the victim.
**[07:17] Rampo**
That's what triggered his murderous intent.
**[07:19] Rampo**
So why did he kill him right after
he finished writing the manuscript?
**[07:23] Rampo**
Because he'd been waiting for him to.
**[07:25] Rampo**
The more public interest
there is in the murder,
***SIGN*** The Killing of Kindaichi
**[07:28] ---**
Chapter Four
**[07:28] Rampo**
the more valuable the manuscript becomes.
**[07:30] Rampo**
And he was planning on selling it.
**[07:32] Poe**
He wasn't necessarily
going to sell it, was he?
**[07:34] Rampo**
Of course he would.
**[07:35] Rampo**
In fact, he already has.
**[07:37] Poe**
To whom?
**[07:37] Rampo**
You.
**[07:40] Rampo**
Your excellent assistant told me.
**[07:43] Rampo**
It's dangerous and a hassle to bring a small
animal to a crowded area on a weekend.
**[07:46] Rampo**
You had to bring him here
anyway for your rendezvous.
**[07:50] Rampo**
In other words, you don't know each other.
**[07:52] Rampo**
Also, you mentioned an auction.
**[07:54] Rampo**
The best place to sell the controversial
fourth chapter would be an underground auction.
**[07:58] Rampo**
Want me to continue?
**[08:04] Poe**
I wanted to solve the crime myself!
**[08:07] Poe**
But if the police bought the manuscript,
the truth would come out in the news.
**[08:11] Rampo**
It's a proper piece of evidence.
**[08:13] Rampo**
Give it to the police, and they'll
give you a letter of appreciation.
**[08:16] Poe**
That's what I'll do!
**[08:17] Poe**
I only spent 20 million on it, after all.
**[08:22] Poe**
Why that face?
**[08:24] Poe**
Master Architect is the
third-highest rank in the Guild.
**[08:27] Poe**
I'll have forgotten I paid
such an amount by tomorrow.
**[08:30] Rampo**
Are you mental?!
**[08:32] Poe**
I got to see your rare exasperated face,
so it was well worth the money!
**[08:36] Poe**
Now, I shall have to finish the transaction.
**[08:39] Poe**
I was told it would be given to me by
someone with a bright red envelope.
**[08:43] Rampo**
There's a bright red envelope over there.
**[08:47] Poe**
When did that get there?
**[09:06] Poe**
That man's face just now...
**[09:10] Poe**
It's the evidence destroyer!
**[09:12] Rampo**
Well, damn.
**[09:14] Rampo**
Turns out this is a good mystery.
**[09:21] Poe**
Dead on impact.
**[09:23] Poe**
Could this be a suicide?
**[09:25] Poe**
Or was he silenced by the Rats?
**[09:32] Minoura**
Municipal Police!
**[09:33] Minoura**
Don't touch the body!
**[09:35] Minoura**
Huh? It's you two.
**[09:38] Officer**
Rampo-kun?
**[09:39] Rampo**
Minoura-san!
**[09:42] Minoura**
Let go!
**[09:44] Minoura**
Get off me!
**[09:45] Rampo**
You're the best!
**[09:47] Rampo**
Now I win!
**[09:49] Officer**
P-Please help Minoura-san!
**[09:53] Poe**
Why did Rampo-kun suddenly
become so excited?
**[09:56] Officer**
Um...
**[09:56] Poe**
Because the police arrived so quickly.
**[09:59] Poe**
The police arrived just as
we rushed to the ground.
**[10:03] Poe**
Why?
**[10:04] Rampo**
Because the perpetrator called them.
**[10:07] Rampo**
Ahead of time.
**[10:08] Rampo**
To have the municipal police close the area,
so I wouldn't touch the body.
**[10:13] Poe**
So it wasn't a suicide, but something
the Rats did to silence him?
**[10:18] Rampo**
Neither.
**[10:19] Rampo**
Look at this.
**[10:21] Poe**
The victim's shoe.
**[10:23] Rampo**
It came off as he was falling.
**[10:25] Rampo**
He had it on when we
saw him through the window.
**[10:29] Poe**
You made that observation
in that split second?
**[10:32] Rampo**
Judging by how worn the sole is,
he must have been wearing it for quite a while.
**[10:36] Rampo**
It wouldn't have come off so easily.
**[10:38] Rampo**
So why did it come off mid-air?
**[10:41] Poe**
I see!
**[10:42] Minoura**
Hey, explain.
**[10:44] Poe**
This shoe wasn't one that the victim
had been wearing for a long time.
**[10:48] Poe**
He was forced to put it on
just prior to being pushed.
**[10:51] Poe**
Because Rampo-kun already knows
what the footprint looks like.
**[10:56] Rampo**
I went to their hideout
in the abandoned mines
**[10:58] Rampo**
to look for leads on the evidence destroyer.
**[11:00] Rampo**
Needless to say, I took note of all
of the footprints on the ground.
**[11:04] Poe**
What about this shoe?
**[11:06] Rampo**
I saw it, too, of course.
**[11:07] Poe**
So that face was a forgery
connected to a fishing line?
**[11:10] Rampo**
Yup.
**[11:13] Rampo**
They smashed the victim's face in
and put on a mask used in films,
**[11:18] Rampo**
then they attached the
fishing line to the mask
**[11:22] Rampo**
and adjusted its length so it
would get caught on his way down.
**[11:32] Rampo**
Once he hit the ground,
**[11:34] Rampo**
you wouldn't know his face had
been smashed in ahead of time.
**[11:37] Poe**
So...
**[11:38] Rampo**
The evidence destroyer himself shoved
the victim down to cover his tracks.
**[11:42] Rampo**
So...
**[11:43] Rampo**
I just need to use this to determine
his whereabouts, and it's over.

And it's finally time!
**[12:49] Poe**
Time for the Super Deduction ability
to instantly reveal the truth of the matter!
**[12:53] Mushitaro**
Are you that detective's fan or something?
**[12:55] Poe**
I am his rival!
**[13:10] Rampo**
I don't know...
**[13:13] Poe**
What did you just say?
**[13:19] Rampo**
I can't figure it out at all.
**[13:24] Mushitaro**
Silly detectives!
**[13:26] Mushitaro**
Wretched hyenas! You'll never catch me.

The gates of Heaven are closed,
never to be opened again.
**[13:41] Mushitaro**
I am the ultimate detective killer!
**[13:44] Mushitaro**
His coworker's innocence
will never be proven.
**[13:48] Mushitaro**
And...
**[13:50] Mushitaro**
He'll never be able to speak of why
Fyodor let me capture him.
***SIGN*** Two months ago
**[14:23] (Flashback) Fyodor**
Greetings, Mushitaro-san.
**[14:26] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
And who are you?
**[14:28] (Flashback) Fyodor**
I'm the man who is going to free you.
**[14:31] (Flashback) Fyodor**
A crime organization locked you up
**[14:34] (Flashback) Fyodor**
to make money off your fantastic ability
to erase all evidence of a crime.
**[14:41] (Flashback) Fyodor**
Until today.
**[14:43] (Flashback) Fyodor**
The cost for your freedom is rather modest.
**[14:46] (Flashback) Fyodor**
We'd like you to cooperate
with our operation, just once.
**[14:50] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
Between a tyrant and a demon,
I'd rather make a pact with the demon.
**[14:53] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
That's just how I am.
**[14:56] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
I'll accept your offer,
**[14:59] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
but I have a few conditions.
**[15:02] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
First, I will never appear in public.
**[15:06] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
I'm only going to use my special ability.
**[15:09] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
Second, prepare a desk for my work.
**[15:12] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
Even better if you can supply books
on mysticism and ancient alchemy.
**[15:16] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
Third, my meals will be served
on silver or porcelain dishware.
**[15:20] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
Also, my clothes are always to be starched.
**[15:23] (Flashback) Fyodor**
That's fine.
**[15:24] (Flashback) Fyodor**
Anything else?
**[15:26] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
Yes.
**[15:27] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
This is the most important condition.
**[15:29] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
After the operation, I'll need to flee
overseas to evade the organization,
**[15:35] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
but that must happen a
week after the operation.
**[15:38] (Flashback) Fyodor**
A week after?
**[15:40] (Flashback) Fyodor**
I could have that arranged the day after.
**[15:42] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
There's something I have left unfinished.
**[15:45] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
A promise of death and crime...
**[15:47] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
There's a man who, a week after,
**[15:53] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
I'd like to kill.
**[16:08] Poe**
Rampo-kun hasn't said a single thing
since he started staring at the body.
**[16:13] Minoura**
Yeah.
**[16:14] Minoura**
He'd normally be laughing out loud
and pointing out the murderer.
**[16:18] Poe**
* His ability as a detective is*
* the very backbone of his soul.*
**[16:23] Poe**
* To have that broken...*
* He may never walk again.*
**[16:30] Poe**
Rampo-kun, don't be so hard on yourself—
**[16:34] Rampo**
Time to give up!
**[16:36] Rampo**
Okay, I'm going back to the office.
**[16:38] Rampo**
You can deal with this mess.
**[16:40] Poe**
Rampo-kun...
**[16:44] Mushitaro**
*My victory is set in stone.*
**[16:47] Mushitaro**
* The photo of me that the Agency has is from*
* before I changed my face in the organization,*
**[16:51] Mushitaro**
*which means that they'll never recognize me.*
**[16:55] Mushitaro**
* Killing is as easy for*
* me as bending a finger.*
**[16:59] Mushitaro**
*Even when I killed him the other day...*
**[17:04] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
Mushi-kun, you know...
**[17:06] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
I want to write the ultimate mystery.
**[17:22] Mushitaro**
Kneel before me, detectives!
**[17:24] Mushitaro**
I am the king of crime!
**[17:26] Mushitaro**
None can force me to repent
or admit to my crimes!
**[17:31] Rampo**
Hey, there. Got a minute?
**[17:34] Mushitaro**
*The detective!*
**[17:35] Mushitaro**
*Why is he here?*
**[17:37] Mushitaro**
*Is he on to me?*
**[17:38] Mushitaro**
*Impossible.*
**[17:39] Rampo**
Do you know where the taxi stop is?
**[17:42] Mushitaro**
Taxi?
**[17:44] Rampo**
I was going to take the
taxi back to the office,
**[17:48] Rampo**
but the main street's been blocked off
by the police because of the incident.
**[17:50] Rampo**
I thought I'd find a
taxi on this back street,
**[17:54] Rampo**
but you're the only person
around that I can ask.
**[17:57] Mushitaro**
*Hasn't he realized who I am?*
**[18:01] Mushitaro**
*It's true, the main road's closed.*
**[18:03] Mushitaro**
*This is the only place to find a taxi.*
**[18:06] Mushitaro**
*What a comical situation.*
**[18:08] Mushitaro**
* The detective, on his way home*
* after giving up on a case,*
**[18:10] Mushitaro**
*strikes up a conversation with the perpetrator!*
**[18:14] Mushitaro**
Sorry, but I can't think of any nearby taxi stops.
**[18:18] Rampo**
Fine. I'll just wait here, then.
**[18:19] Mushitaro**
*You're waiting here?!*
**[18:21] Mushitaro**
*I'm meeting my ride here!*
**[18:24] Mushitaro**
*He's going to end up seeing my vehicle!*
**[18:27] Mushitaro**
* A perfect crime must not leave*
* a single loose thread.*
**[18:32] Mushitaro**
There's a station five minutes from here.
**[18:34] Mushitaro**
I'll draw you a map.
**[18:35] Rampo**
No!
**[18:36] Rampo**
I don't wanna walk!
**[18:38] Mushitaro**
Okay, let's do this. There's a bus station
nearby that'll take you to the station.
**[18:43] Mushitaro**
Take that, and—
**[18:44] Rampo**
No buses! No trains! Too much work!
**[18:47] Rampo**
Also, I don't know how to take trains.
**[18:49] Mushitaro**
*What are you, a grade school kid?!*
**[18:51] Rampo**
I know!
**[18:53] Rampo**
I don't want to have to walk,
so can you give me a piggyback ride?
**[18:56] Mushitaro**
That's no request to make
of another human being!
**[18:58] Rampo**
I've made the newbie at the
office do it a few times.
**[19:01] Mushitaro**
* Have I gotten involved with*
* someone I shouldn't have?*
**[19:16] Driver**
I've arrived, Mushitaro-sama.
**[19:18] Mushitaro**
*He's already here.*
**[19:21] Mushitaro**
Sorry, but I have business with this man.
**[19:24] Mushitaro**
Pardon me, um...
**[19:27] Mushitaro**
Rampo.
**[19:28] Mushitaro**
Well, Rampo-kun, I wish you luck.
**[19:38] Mushitaro**
*He's seen my car.*
**[19:41] Mushitaro**
*Well, whatever.*
**[19:43] Mushitaro**
*It shouldn't be a problem—*
**[19:44] Rampo**
Driver! To the Detective Agency!
**[19:46] Mushitaro**
Wh-Wh-Wh...
**[19:47] Rampo**
You good?
**[19:48] Mushitaro**
What are you doing?!
**[19:49] Mushitaro**
This vehicle is here for me!
**[19:51] Rampo**
It's hot, huh?
**[19:52] Rampo**
Turn on the AC, please.
**[19:54] Mushitaro**
Are you listening?
**[19:55] Rampo**
I have a good idea.
**[19:56] Rampo**
I'll pay you back if you let me
take the car with you.
**[20:00] Rampo**
I could hook you up with work
if you ever need it, for example.
**[20:03] Mushitaro**
*No!*
**[20:05] Mushitaro**
Great. Thanks.
**[20:08] Mushitaro**
*What do you want me to do?!*
**[20:10] Mushitaro**
*It's not like I want him here, either!*
**[20:11] Mushitaro**
*Alas...*
**[20:12] Mushitaro**
* I can't let this lucky detective*
* get any closer to the truth*
**[20:15] Mushitaro**
* than he already has*
* just by stumbling across me!*
**[20:18] Mushitaro**
Please take him to the station.
**[20:20] Mushitaro**
Let's have him take a taxi from there.
**[20:22] Rampo**
Yay!
**[20:27] Mushitaro**
Say, what do you do there?
**[20:30] Rampo**
I'm a detective.
**[20:34] Mushitaro**
I see.
**[20:35] Mushitaro**
That's a gruesome situation.
**[20:38] Mushitaro**
Such a foreign world as
far as I'm concerned.
**[20:40] Rampo**
I have just one lead on the murderer.
**[20:43] Rampo**
He swapped shoes with the victim, so his
shoes are too small for him right now.
**[20:49] Rampo**
I know why this case is so hard.
**[20:52] Rampo**
The murderer is Gifted, with an
ability of the reality-altering sort.
**[20:56] Mushitaro**
*He's already figured out that much?!*
**[20:58] Rampo**
My ability as a detective
boils down to technique.
**[21:01] Rampo**
Because it isn't a power,
**[21:02] Rampo**
I don't stand a chance against a
reality-altering special ability.
**[21:05] Mushitaro**
*Exactly.*
**[21:07] Rampo**
Although, I managed to
figure it out this time.
**[21:10] Mushitaro**
*No!*
**[21:11] Mushitaro**
*Impossible!*
**[21:13] Rampo**
Are you interested?
**[21:14] Mushitaro**
That would make for some
great entertainment.
**[21:17] Mushitaro**
To think I'd get to hear how a
detective I just met solved a crime...
**[21:22] Rampo**
All right. I'll tell you just this once,
as thanks for the ride.
**[21:25] Rampo**
The bright red envelope is the key.
**[21:28] Rampo**
The evidence destroyer wanted
me to believe he was dead.
**[21:31] Rampo**
That's when he took notice
of my friend, Poe-kun.
**[21:35] Rampo**
Poe arranged to buy the manuscript and,
**[21:38] Rampo**
the instant we took it, the evidence
destroyer pushed a double off the building.
**[21:44] Rampo**
All for the purpose of
showcasing that one moment.
**[21:49] Rampo**
So, where did the perpetrator get
the envelope and the manuscript?
**[21:56] Rampo**
The answer's simple.
**[21:58] Rampo**
He killed and stole it...
**[22:01] Rampo**
From the author himself.

So, where did the perpetrator get

**[00:10] Rampo**
The answer's simple.
**[00:13] Rampo**
He killed and stole it...
**[00:15] Rampo**
From the author himself.
**[01:48] Minoura**
Hey, rival. What are you doing?
**[01:51] Poe**
Speed reading the manuscript.
**[01:53] Poe**
There might be something in
here that could help Rampo-kun.
**[01:57] Officer**
Minoura-san, what exactly is this
case of the mystery writer murder
**[02:01] Officer**
that everyone's talking about?
**[02:03] Minoura**
What, you don't know?
***SIGN*** Zuikaro
**[02:05] Minoura**
The body was discovered
by the manager of the inn.
**[02:15] Owner**
What is that?
**[02:21] Minoura**
The doll was carrying human ears.
**[02:26] Minoura**
The author was an exceptionally
talented detective novel writer.
**[02:28] Minoura**
He was found murdered at the inn where
he'd been staying long-term to work.
**[02:42] Minoura**
The biggest mystery of this case is
that the conditions around the murder
**[02:45] Minoura**
resembled the murder depicted in the novel.
**[02:48] Minoura**
That's the gist of the infamous
Killing of Kindaichi.
**[02:50] Officer**
Gross...
**[02:52] Poe**
And I thought that I might find out
**[02:55] Poe**
who'd stolen the manuscript if
I read the last chapter, but...
**[03:00] Poe**
* The murderer was an old acquaintance of the*
* victim's, motivated by years of pent-up anger.*
**[03:05] Poe**
*It's exactly as Rampo-kun had deduced.*
***SIGN*** It was at that moment, when my colleague uttered those words,
that I became certain that a perfect murder does indeed exist.
End
**[03:09] Poe**
The word "End" on the last page is smudged.
**[03:13] Poe**
Are these water droplets?
**[03:16] Poe**
No, looking at it more carefully,
it's not handwritten. It's a copy.
**[03:22] Poe**
Why?
**[03:27] Minoura**
Well?
***SIGN*** CAW CAW CAW CAW
**[03:34] Poe**
What the hell?!
***SIGN*** Beep
**[03:38] Poe**
It's my cell phone.
**[03:40] Minoura**
Why were you so surprised, then?
**[03:42] Poe**
I don't receive calls very often.
**[03:46] Poe**
What's this?!
**[03:48] Mushitaro**
The evidence destroyer and the
murderer are the same person?
**[03:51] Mushitaro**
Don't you think that's a stretch?
**[03:54] Mushitaro**
The manuscript could have been obtained
by someone other than the murderer.
**[03:58] Rampo**
I have evidence.
**[04:02] Rampo**
This manuscript.
**[04:05] ---**
End
**[04:05] Mushitaro**
Why does he have the manuscript?!
**[04:07] Rampo**
Looks like you recognize it, huh?
**[04:11] Rampo**
It was folded up like this and hidden away,
**[04:14] Rampo**
at the gift shop on the second
floor of the observation deck.
**[04:17] Rampo**
I checked inside the envelope
as soon as I got it.
**[04:21] Rampo**
And for some reason, just the
last page was a photocopy.
**[04:24] Rampo**
Was it so they could keep the original?
**[04:26] Rampo**
No, in that case, they would
have copied all the pages.
**[04:29] Rampo**
That's when I realized...
**[04:31] Rampo**
Maybe they printed it out in a hurry,
right before it was handed off.
**[04:36] Rampo**
So I checked a stationery shop nearby.
**[04:39] Rampo**
And just as I expected,
it was the same paper.
**[04:42] Rampo**
In other words, the attacker was in a hurry
to swap out the original with the copy.
**[04:45] Rampo**
Why?
**[04:47] Rampo**
If the content was an issue,
they could have just thrown out that page.
**[04:50] Rampo**
They didn't do that because there was a
specific reason to hand over all the pages.
**[04:56] Rampo**
If that's the case, the last page of the
manuscript wouldn't have been thrown out.
**[05:00] Rampo**
But they couldn't risk being searched,
so they hid it somewhere.
**[05:05] Mushitaro**
And so you found the hidden manuscript?
**[05:08] Rampo**
As soon as I found it, I became certain the
the same person was behind both incidents.
**[05:13] Rampo**
By the way...
**[05:15] Rampo**
What's your name?
**[05:16] Mushitaro**
Oguri Mushitaro.
**[05:18] Rampo**
Thanks.
**[05:20] Rampo**
Now I have all the information I need.
**[05:23] Rampo**
You're the one behind both of the incidents,
**[05:26] Rampo**
Oguri Mushitaro-kun.

**[05:35] Rampo**
Well, well...
**[05:36] Driver**
There are three types of cargo that I hate:
**[05:38] Driver**
Cargo that talks too much.
**[05:40] Driver**
Cargo that brings trouble.
**[05:42] Driver**
And cargo that doesn't pay.
**[05:45] Driver**
Anything to say for yourself?
**[05:46] Rampo**
I've got nothing to say.
**[05:48] Rampo**
He does, though.
**[05:50] Mushitaro**
Put the gun away, getaway driver.
**[05:52] Mushitaro**
Don't give the detectives any excuses.
**[05:54] Mushitaro**
There is no direct evidence that
will lead to our impeachment.
**[05:57] Mushitaro**
He's never stood a chance to begin with.
**[05:59] Mushitaro**
Unless you threaten him
in plain sight, that is.
**[06:02] Driver**
He has no use for excuses when
he's got a gun pointed at his head.
**[06:04] Driver**
Get out of the car.
**[06:06] Driver**
I don't want to get my seat dirty.
**[06:08] Rampo**
Guns are fascinating, aren't they?
**[06:10] Rampo**
For some reason, the moment you
have one, you turn into an idiot.
**[06:13] Rampo**
Sorry, but this situation was
what I was going for all along.
**[06:18] Cop A**
Drop the gun!
**[06:20] Poe**
Rampo-kun!
**[06:22] Poe**
I kept a call going with Poe-kun's phone.
***SIGN*** E. Poe

**[06:30] Minoura**
Such an anticlimactic end to
the criminals of the century.
**[06:34] Minoura**
I'll put you two in the same cell.
**[06:35] Minoura**
You can hold a review session or something.
**[06:36] Driver**
Try.
**[06:38] Driver**
I am an official diplomat, and this
car has foreign service plates.
**[06:43] Driver**
We have immunity from criminal law here.
**[06:46] Driver**
You can't arrest us.
**[06:49] Poe**
Still, an ongoing murder attempt should
strip you of your privileges as a diplomat.
**[06:55] Driver**
It's not loaded.
**[06:57] Driver**
I can invoke what you lot call
an impossibility defense.
**[06:59] Driver**
I was also granted the right
to carry this pistol.
**[07:02] Driver**
There's no illegality in my using it.
**[07:03] Rampo**
So the gun was an empty threat.
**[07:05] Rampo**
Fyodor taught you that trick.
**[07:13] Rampo**
You're free to go.
**[07:14] Minoura**
Hey!
**[07:15] Mushitaro**
So long, Rampo-kun.
**[07:17] Mushitaro**
Say hi to your coworker in prison for me.
**[07:43] Mushitaro**
*There's foreign text showing on the phone.*
**[07:46] Mushitaro**
*This phone is...*
**[07:48] Rampo**
*Mushitaro-kun, you win.*
**[07:51] Rampo**
I've known all along:
ordinary people can't defeat Gifted.
**[07:56] Rampo**
Nevertheless, I'll defeat you...
**[07:59] Rampo**
because my coworkers think I'm invincible.
**[08:06] Mushitaro**
*Impossible...*
**[08:07] Mushitaro**
*A special ability!*
**[08:12] Mushitaro**
*I was certain he wasn't a Gifted...*
**[08:17] Mushitaro**
*So dark...*
**[08:18] Mushitaro**
*What just happened?*
**[08:20] Mushitaro**
*I can't see anything.*
**[08:22] Mushitaro**
*I can't breathe!*
**[08:24] Mushitaro**
*Something's choking me!*
**[08:27] Mushitaro**
*No...*
**[08:28] Mushitaro**
*It's...*
**[08:30] Yokomizo**
How could you kill me?!
**[08:32] Mushitaro**
Yokomizo?!
**[08:34] Mushitaro**
*What the hell is going on?*
**[08:37] Mushitaro**
*This is the inn...*
**[08:39] Mushitaro**
*where Yokomizo was murdered.*
**[08:42] Mushitaro**
*But how?*
**[08:44] Mushitaro**
*No, first...*
**[08:46] Yokomizo**
I despise you!
**[08:47] Yokomizo**
I despise you so!
**[08:50] Mushitaro**
No!
**[08:52] Mushitaro**
This isn't it, Yokomizo!
**[08:55] Rampo**
Correct.
**[09:01] Rampo**
This isn't reality.
**[09:03] Rampo**
Reality looks like this.
**[09:07] Mushitaro**
I see.
**[09:09] Mushitaro**
This is the doing of the Guild's Gifted.
**[09:11] Mushitaro**
We're inside Poe's novel.
**[09:14] Rampo**
That's right.
**[09:16] Rampo**
I sent out a message instructing him
to reproduce the scene of the murder.
**[09:21] Mushitaro**
I see.
**[09:22] Mushitaro**
So that's what that text was.
**[09:24] Rampo**
"This isn't it, Yokomizo," you said.
**[09:28] Rampo**
You seem to be well-acquainted
with the victim.
**[09:32] Mushitaro**
Do you really think you've caught
me with such a measly trap?
**[09:35] Mushitaro**
As I said before, what you need is evidence.
**[09:38] Mushitaro**
All your suspicions and
deductions mean nothing.
**[09:42] Mushitaro**
On top of that,
you've made a critical mistake.
**[09:47] Rampo**
A mistake?
**[09:48] Mushitaro**
Yup.
**[09:48] Mushitaro**
I looked up his profile.
**[09:50] Mushitaro**
The Gifted author's special ability
**[09:52] Mushitaro**
is one which allows him to drag one
into his own mystery scenario.
**[09:56] Mushitaro**
You can't get out until
the mystery is solved.
**[09:59] Mushitaro**
But this mystery is the scene
of the Killing of Kindaichi.
**[10:02] Mushitaro**
Which means, if I declare the facts,
**[10:05] Mushitaro**
I can immediately return to
my car in the real world.
**[10:08] Mushitaro**
In other words, I can't be
captured in this space.
**[10:13] Rampo**
You're right.
**[10:14] Rampo**
But you won't leave.
**[10:17] Rampo**
Once you finish hearing me speak,
**[10:21] Rampo**
you'll turn yourself in.
**[10:26] [SONG] Text**
The
"Killing
of
Kindaichi"
**[10:26] Rampo**
The Killing of Kindaichi doesn't work
**[10:27] [SONG] Text**
doesn't
work
if
the
author
**[10:28] Rampo**
if the author reveals the gimmick
to anyone other than the murderer.
**[10:29] [SONG] Text**
reveals
the
gimmick
to
anyone
**[10:30] [SONG] Text**
other
than
the
murderer.
**[10:33] Rampo**
In other words, the murderer
had to have been unique.
**[10:37] Rampo**
Which is why, at one point, I'd deduced
that the motive was a personal grudge.
**[10:42] Rampo**
But this is worse.
**[10:44] Rampo**
To leave your escape as an afterthought to
the murder is practically self-destruction.
**[10:49] Rampo**
There are only two motivations one could
have for driving a person to self-destruction.
**[10:53] Rampo**
Insanity and duty.
**[10:56] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
Take your pick, Yokomizo.
**[10:58] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
Stabbing, poisoning, strangling or beating.
**[11:02] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
How do you want it done?
**[11:04] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
I'd have to say stabbing.
**[11:06] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
Poisoning would require the reader
to have a knowledge of chemistry.
**[11:10] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
It wouldn't be fair.
**[11:11] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
You filthy hack.
**[11:14] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
No one's talking about your new novel.
**[11:17] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
I'm talking about how I'm killing you.
**[11:19] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
Oh. Sheesh.
**[11:20] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
No, but seriously, give me some murder ideas.
**[11:24] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
I'm not going to make
my deadline this month.
**[11:26] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
Here we go again.
**[11:28] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
Mystery novels are just insider games that
happen to be bound by external rules.
**[11:33] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
Dying messages, gimmicks, enclosed spaces...
**[11:36] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
They're completely detached from reality.
**[11:38] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
If you want puzzles, go solve some
math equations or something.
**[11:41] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
Your distaste for mystery novels hasn't
changed since we were in school.
**[11:46] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
It's your fault I hate them.
**[11:49] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
I get what you're saying, though.
**[11:51] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
Meta-mysteries, anti-mysteries...
**[11:54] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
No matter how unique a mystery
you put out into the world,
**[11:57] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
the next moment, it's just shoved
into one category or another.
**[12:01] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
The ultimate mystery can't exist.
**[12:06] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
Nah. Anyway.
**[12:08] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
It's been a long time since
I've gotten to talk shop with you.
**[12:11] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
I couldn't help but spill the beans.
**[12:13] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
You always change the subject
at the end of a debate.
**[12:17] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
No wonder you've never had
friends, even at school.
**[12:24] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
You don't have friends, either.
**[12:27] Mushitaro**
That's right.
**[12:29] Mushitaro**
I killed him.
**[12:31] Mushitaro**
I choked him to death with these hands.
**[12:34] Mushitaro**
With bloodlust and madness.
**[12:37] Mushitaro**
So, now what?
**[12:39] Mushitaro**
The suspect has confessed to his crime.
**[12:41] Mushitaro**
There's nothing you can...
**[12:43] Rampo**
You never killed him.
**[12:46] Rampo**
In the final chapter, the motive was
described to be a personal grudge.
**[12:50] Rampo**
That doesn't make sense, does it?
**[12:52] Rampo**
If you were the one who'd killed him,
**[12:54] Rampo**
not only would you have copied the
plot gimmick, but the motive, as well.
**[12:58] Rampo**
It's too perfect.
**[13:00] Rampo**
It would practically be a script.
**[13:03] Rampo**
The "Killing of Kindaichi" was a comedy that
he both wrote and starred in himself.
**[13:08] Rampo**
In other words, he killed himself.
**[13:12] Rampo**
What a stupid way it turned out to be.
**[13:14] Rampo**
But it was highly effective.
**[13:16] Rampo**
Even people who don't read mystery novels
**[13:18] Rampo**
became obsessed with the case
and worked to solve it.
**[13:21] Rampo**
The ultimate, uncategorizable,
one-of-a-kind mystery.
**[13:26] Rampo**
That's what this is.
**[13:27] [SONG] Text**
"A mystery that leaks into the real world"
**[13:28] Rampo**
A mystery that leaks into the real world.
**[13:33] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
I hate having regrets.
**[13:36] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
That's why I've always done things my way.
**[13:39] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
So far, I'm satisfied with my life.
**[13:42] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
But now I find that I'm on limited time.
**[13:47] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
Is your stomach really that messed up?
**[13:50] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
I have a malignant tumor in my gut.
**[13:52] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
I have a year at best, I was told.
**[13:55] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
Before that, I'm going to complete
the ultimate mystery novel.
**[13:59] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
I've already finished my preparations.
**[14:01] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
All except the key piece.
**[14:04] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
And what key is that?
**[14:07] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
The murderer.
**[14:10] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
It would all be for nothing if it gets out
that I'd done this myself prematurely.
**[14:13] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
To avoid that, I need a real-life murderer
who has actual motives and intent.
**[14:21] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
I want you to be that person.
**[14:33] Mushitaro**
Bingo!
**[14:35] Mushitaro**
You nailed it, detective!
**[14:37] Mushitaro**
I am indeed the role of
the unhinged murderer!
**[14:41] Mushitaro**
Of course I agreed!
**[14:42] Mushitaro**
I'd get to kill the man I despised!
**[14:48] Mushitaro**
On top of that, I get the money
for selling the manuscript.
**[14:52] Mushitaro**
Why would I ever refuse?!
**[14:54] Mushitaro**
I killed him!
**[14:57] Rampo**
Then why did you hide this
page of the manuscript?
**[15:02] Rampo**
Some of the words are smudged,
including the word "End."
**[15:05] [SONG] ---**
End
**[15:06] Rampo**
That must have occurred after
the manuscript was completed.
**[15:09] Rampo**
So, who made the smudges, and when?
**[15:13] Rampo**
The stain happened during
the crime or right after.
**[15:16] Rampo**
The smudges marked the page in the
reverse order in which it was completed.
**[15:18] Rampo**
That is, it was with the
final page placed on top.
**[15:23] Rampo**
When you think of it that way,
everything makes sense.
**[15:25] Mushitaro**
Stop.
**[15:27] Mushitaro**
The source of water at the scene of the crime,
**[15:31] Mushitaro**
and the reason the attacker frantically tried
to replace the original with a copy...
**[15:35] Mushitaro**
When you put it all together,
there can only be one explanation.
**[15:47] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
Thank you... Mushi-kun...
**[15:51] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
For taking this on...
**[15:55] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
You truly... are my only...
**[16:05] Rampo**
Tears.
**[16:09] Rampo**
The perpetrator was crying
as he strangled the victim.
**[16:12] Rampo**
So if it wasn't motivated
by a personal grudge,
**[16:15] Rampo**
all the assumptions about the
gimmick get turned over.
**[16:18] Rampo**
If the victim was an accomplice to the crime,
**[16:20] Rampo**
the very act of solving
the crime is pointless.
**[16:23] Rampo**
It isn't even a mystery,
let alone the ultimate one.
**[16:27] Rampo**
You realized as much just before
you delivered the manuscript.
**[16:31] Rampo**
That's why you replaced it with a photocopy.
**[16:33] Rampo**
To fulfill your friend's final wish.
**[16:37] Yokomizo**
You have no proof.
**[16:39] Rampo**
You're right.
**[16:40] Rampo**
Forensics could have determined
that they were tears,
**[16:43] Rampo**
but they couldn't determine whose they were.
**[16:46] Rampo**
Still, it's enough to publicize the
truth behind this manuscript.
**[16:52] Rampo**
"It might have been a suicide.
It might have been a farce."
**[16:55] Rampo**
"It might be pointless to try to solve it."
**[16:58] Rampo**
As soon the readers start to think that way,
**[17:01] Rampo**
the value of taking on
the challenge plummets,
**[17:03] Rampo**
and your friend's final wish will be muddied.
**[17:09] Rampo**
The Detective Agency was
once defeated by Fyodor.
**[17:13] Rampo**
We won't be defeated again.
**[17:14] Rampo**
I won't let you hurt anyone in the Agency.
**[17:17] Mushitaro**
*What is this?*
**[17:18] Rampo**
To that end, I memorized and assimilated...
**[17:22] Rampo**
the demon himself!
**[17:25] Rampo**
If you don't turn yourself in,
I'll go public with that hypothesis.
**[17:28] Rampo**
This isn't detective work.
**[17:30] Rampo**
It's a demonic mind control
invading your mind.
**[17:34] Rampo**
My new weapon for killing Detective killers!
**[17:47] Mushitaro**
No...
**[17:50] Mushitaro**
I can't allow that.
**[17:53] Mushitaro**
Please don't make it public.
**[17:56] Mushitaro**
I despise Yokomizo.
**[17:59] Mushitaro**
It's not possible that I don't.
**[18:04] Mushitaro**
I'll turn myself in.
**[18:10] Minoura**
Yeah.
**[18:11] Minoura**
I see.
**[18:12] Minoura**
All right.
**[18:15] Minoura**
We have evidence that grenades
**[18:17] Minoura**
of the type used by the Detective Agency
were stolen in transport.
**[18:21] Minoura**
That makes it likely that they were
used in the murder of the girl.
**[18:24] Rampo**
He released his special ability.
**[18:27] Rampo**
Kunikida will be released.
**[18:29] Poe**
Rampo-kun.
**[18:31] Poe**
About the dummy corpse...
**[18:34] Poe**
There wasn't any biological activity
detected in the wound on his face.
**[18:37] Rampo**
Oh.
**[18:38] Rampo**
He just threw a corpse that Fyodor gave him.
**[18:42] Rampo**
I doubt he's ever killed anyone
other than the mystery novelist.
**[18:47] Poe**
Rampo-kun?
**[18:53] Rampo**
I don't want to bother throwing it out.
**[18:55] Rampo**
You can have it.
**[18:57] Mushitaro**
What's this?
**[18:59] Mushitaro**
An employee ID?
**[19:01] Rampo**
That company is a front for an
anti-government organization.
**[19:05] Rampo**
A Gifted Special Ops Division
agent working undercover there
**[19:08] Rampo**
is about to have their cover blown.
**[19:11] Rampo**
Go help them.
**[19:13] Mushitaro**
Why are you asking me?
**[19:15] Rampo**
That agent is also in charge
of hiring at the Division.
**[19:20] Rampo**
I couldn't care less what
happens to the agent,
**[19:24] Rampo**
but if they learn about your powerful ability,
they'll be obliged to hire you.
**[19:29] Rampo**
Go show them what you can do.
**[19:31] Mushitaro**
Rampo-kun...
**[19:33] Mushitaro**
Are you...
**[19:34] Rampo**
I promised, didn't I?
**[19:36] Rampo**
That I'd help you find work
if you ever needed it.
**[19:41] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
Mushi-kun, I bet you'd laugh at me
**[19:45] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
for trying to master mystery novels,
even if it means sacrificing myself.
**[19:50] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
But when you start going down that path,
**[19:53] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
you realize there really is nothing
whose value is immutable.
**[19:57] Minoura**
Huh? Where'd my lighter go?
**[19:59] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
In which case, it's up to you to choose.
**[20:02] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
Choose what you consider
valuable in your life.
**[20:06] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
After all, the greatest luxury
afforded to a human being
**[20:10] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
is the right to make the
world itself their choice.
**[20:23] Cop A**
What the...
**[20:25] Cop A**
An accident?
**[20:31] Cop A**
Is it an accident?
**[20:32] Nikolai**
It's a murder.
**[20:34] Cop A**
Who's the victim?
**[20:35] Nikolai**
You.
**[20:42] Mushitaro**
*A gun just appeared out of thin air!*
**[20:49] Nikolai**
Now, then...
**[20:50] Nikolai**
It's quiz time!
**[20:56] Nikolai**
Who might I be?
**[21:00] Nikolai**
What?
**[21:01] Nikolai**
My name's Nikolai, you say?
**[21:03] Nikolai**
That's right!
**[21:06] Nikolai**
Okay, next question!
**[21:08] Nikolai**
Why am I here?
**[21:11] Nikolai**
Hint: Cleanup duty.
**[21:14] Nikolai**
Oops, I gave away the answer!
**[21:16] Mushitaro**
Cleanup duty?
**[21:17] Nikolai**
That's right.
**[21:19] Nikolai**
My duty is to get rid of those
who know of our next project.
**[21:24] Nikolai**
A quiz is no fun if someone gives
away the answer, after all.
**[21:30] Mushitaro**
"Our"?
**[21:32] Nikolai**
So you're with Fyodor!
**[21:34] Mushitaro**
Indeed!
**[21:35] Mushitaro**
We are the Decay of the Angels!
**[21:38] Mushitaro**
Terrorists lurking in this land!
**[21:41] Mushitaro**
The five angels, here to tell
of the end of the gods' world!
**[21:48] Mushitaro**
*Rampo-kun!*
**[21:49] Mushitaro**
*Listen up!*
**[21:50] Mushitaro**
* The Detective Agency is about*
* to get a huge job offer!*
**[21:52] Mushitaro**
*Don't accept it!*
**[21:54] Mushitaro**
*If you do, it'll be the end of the Agency!*
**[21:56] Mushitaro**
*You hear me?*
**[21:57] Mushitaro**
*Don't you dare accept—*

***SIGN*** Since the cannibalism incident...
**[00:00] Tonan**
In recognition of the Armed Detective Agency's
considerable contributions
***SIGN*** One month has passed.
***SIGN*** Futsuma Shikyu Award Ceremony
**[00:07] Tonan**
to the safety of the city and people of
Yokohama during the White Whale Incident,
**[00:12] Tonan**
we award the Futsuma Shikyu Award.
**[00:20] Tonan**
Your Agency is the pride of our nation.
**[00:24] Man A**
Has a private company ever been
awarded the Shikyu Award?
**[00:28] Man B**
It's easy to see why.
**[00:30] Man B**
They captured Pushkin and Fyodor after
the European authorities failed to do so.
**[00:35] Man B**
Rumor has it that the
Detective Agency's been tapped
**[00:38] Man B**
as special advisers to the
municipal police combat squad.
**[00:41] Man A**
If that's true, the Special Investigation
Department has fresh mud on its face.
**[00:45] Tonan**
They have no reason to be ashamed.
**[00:47] Tonan**
That's just how capable the
Armed Detective Agency is.
**[00:51] Man A**
Well, hello, Assistant Senior Attorney.
**[00:54] Tonan**
This is unofficial,
**[00:55] Tonan**
but it was the Detective Agency that
prevented the crash of the whale airship.
**[01:00] Man A**
That's impressive.
**[01:02] Tonan**
I believe that, soon enough,
the Armed Detective Agency
**[01:04] Tonan**
will be carrying the weight of
this nation's center of power.
**[02:44] Kunikida**
I told you to stop attacking head-on.
**[02:47] Atsushi**
But...
**[02:48] Kunikida**
Don't let your power control you.
**[02:50] Kunikida**
It's when you're drowning in the
tiger's power that you always lose.
**[02:54] Kunikida**
To put it bluntly: the tiger is strong,
but you're weak.
**[03:02] Kunikida**
It's time for work.
**[03:03] Kunikida**
Let's go.
**[03:05] Yosano**
A murder society?
**[03:07] Kunikida**
Yes.
**[03:08] Kunikida**
It's an urgent request from the government.
**[03:10] Kunikida**
First, here's a photo of the victim.
**[03:13] Atsushi**
Terrible.
**[03:15] Kunikida**
The victim was a young diet member.
**[03:17] Kunikida**
As you can see, the victim had the
skin of his upper body torn off
**[03:21] Kunikida**
and was forced to wear it inside out.
**[03:22] Yosano**
He's got some interesting taste, doesn't he?
**[03:25] Kunikida**
There have been four such incidents in the
past week, perpetrated by the same culprit.
**[03:29] Kunikida**
The vice commander of the Coast Guard.
**[03:31] Kunikida**
Killed by a powerful corrosive
being poured on his head.
**[03:34] Kunikida**
Ministry of Defense External Defense,
Department Chief Secretary
**[03:37] Kunikida**
Injected with high density
air using an air compressor,
**[03:41] Kunikida**
leading to expulsion of all blood
from his pores and subsequent death.
***SIGN*** kill me
**[03:44] Kunikida**
Lastly, a top military envoy.
**[03:47] Kunikida**
An intensely pain-inducing plant from
South America, known as the suicide weed,
**[03:50] Kunikida**
was implanted in his armpit.
He was then locked in a room.
**[03:53] Kunikida**
He slammed his own head against the wall,
causing cerebral contusion and death.
**[03:57] Rampo**
Aha...
**[03:58] Rampo**
The Decay of Angels.
**[04:00] Rampo**
It's a message from the murderer.
**[04:01] Atsushi**
The Decay of Angels?
**[04:04] Fukuzawa**
The Decay of Angels...
**[04:05] Fukuzawa**
refers to the five signs that angels, at the
pinnacle of the sixth path of existence,
**[04:09] Fukuzawa**
exhibit before their death.
**[04:12] Kunikida**
President.
**[04:13] Fukuzawa**
The robe becomes stained with grime and oils.
**[04:17] Fukuzawa**
The crown wilts and rots.
**[04:20] Fukuzawa**
The body becomes dirty and odorous.
**[04:24] Fukuzawa**
Sweat pours out of the armpits.
**[04:28] Tanizaki**
So this is a serial murder making
a deliberate display of brutality?
**[04:32] Atsushi**
Just a second.
**[04:33] Atsushi**
There have only been four murders.
**[04:35] Kunikida**
Of the five omens,
dissatisfaction and apathy remain.
**[04:38] Atsushi**
Therefore, there's going to be one more murder.
**[04:40] Fukuzawa**
There will not.
**[04:42] Fukuzawa**
We will stop it before it happens.
**[04:44] Fukuzawa**
We will all commit to putting
an end to this villain's scheme.
**[04:48] Rampo**
I disagree.
**[04:51] Fukuzawa**
Rampo. Your reason?
**[04:53] Rampo**
My friend gave me a warning.
**[04:54] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
The Detective Agency is about
to get a huge job offer!
**[04:57] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
Don't accept it!
**[04:58] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
If you do, it'll be the end of the Agency!
**[05:03] Rampo**
I'm turning down this job.
**[05:05] Fukuzawa**
Have you seen the
Futsuma Shikyu Award in my office?
**[05:09] Fukuzawa**
That is the honor of the century for
those of us who protect people.
**[05:13] Rampo**
You're telling me to take the
job because we got a bow?
**[05:15] Fukuzawa**
No.
**[05:17] Fukuzawa**
That is just a piece of wood.
**[05:20] Fukuzawa**
Awards and accolades are
no more than set dressing.
**[05:24] Fukuzawa**
Even if we were honorless
thieves in a basement,
**[05:27] Fukuzawa**
we would risk our lives to stop this murder.
**[05:31] Rampo**
Do what you want, then.
**[05:33] Kunikida**
Rampo-san!
**[05:34] Fukuzawa**
Don't stop him, Kunikida.
**[05:36] Fukuzawa**
The Agency will pursue the murderer.
**[05:38] Fukuzawa**
And Rampo will pursue the facts
behind the Agency's coming demise.
**[05:43] Fukuzawa**
A dual investigation.
**[05:44] Fukuzawa**
Rampo knows full-well that's
the most optimal solution.

**[05:50] Atsushi**
Apathy and dissatisfaction
with one's position...
**[05:58] Atsushi**
Yes?
**[05:59] Ango**
* This is Sakaguchi of the*
* Special Operations Division.*
**[06:01] Ango**
I have been unable to contact Dazai-kun.
**[06:04] Ango**
Do you happen to know his whereabouts?
**[06:06] Atsushi**
*No.*
**[06:07] Ango**
Then please convey a message to the Agency
staff regarding the serial murder victims:
**[06:13] Ango**
There is evidence that the victims'
bodyguard rosters and itineraries
**[06:16] Ango**
were tampered with and
modified by government figures.
**[06:21] Ango**
* It may be that the Decay of Angels is the*
* alternate identity of a government body.*
**[06:27] Ango**
*Please be careful.*
**[06:30] Tonan**
Hey, there.
**[06:32] Atsushi**
You're from the Department of Justice.
**[06:34] Tonan**
I appreciate your hard work.
**[06:36] Tonan**
You're a newcomer at the
Detective Agency, aren't you?
**[06:38] Tonan**
How's the investigation coming?
**[06:41] Atsushi**
We're going through the entire list
of dangerous Gifted, but nothing yet.
**[06:45] Tonan**
Who were you on the phone with?
**[06:47] Atsushi**
Oh, that was...
**[06:49] (Flashback) Ango**
There's evidence they were tampered
with by government figures.
**[06:56] Atsushi**
Oh, I was just asked to
run a few more errands.
**[06:59] Atsushi**
Never mind me.
**[07:01] Atsushi**
What brings you here, sir?
**[07:03] Tonan**
Oh, I just happened to spot you as I was
enjoying coffee at the shop over there.
**[07:09] Atsushi**
*I can use my tiger's sense of smell.*
**[07:15] Atsushi**
*I don't smell coffee.*
**[07:18] Tonan**
Is something the matter?
**[07:19] Atsushi**
No, nothing at all!
**[07:21] Atsushi**
Anyway, I have to go feed the
boss's chameleon and stuff.
**[07:24] Atsushi**
Pardon me!
**[07:28] Tonan**
That's fine.
**[07:30] Tonan**
The Armed Detective Agency's
doom today is already decided.
**[07:42] Jouno**
Which horse came in first?
**[07:46] Dazai**
*I see. He's blind.*
**[07:49] Dazai**
Number Nine.
**[07:50] Jouno**
Thank you.
**[07:52] Jouno**
You won, didn't you?
**[07:53] Dazai**
Oh, can you tell?
**[07:55] Jouno**
Yes.
**[07:56] Jouno**
Your sweat, body temperature,
the sound of your muscles...
**[07:59] Jouno**
There's more that I can see,
now that I've lost my sight.
**[08:03] Jouno**
I can even predict your fate tomorrow.
**[08:07] Jouno**
You won't have a tomorrow,
**[08:09] Jouno**
former Port Mafia Executive, Dazai Osamu.
**[08:12] Jouno**
138 counts of aggravated murder.
**[08:15] Jouno**
312 counts of intimidation.
**[08:17] Jouno**
A total of 625 charges, including fraud
and more, for which I'm arresting you.
**[08:21] Tonan**
Gentlemen, the Hunting Dogs have arrested
one of the members of the Agency.
**[08:25] Agent A**
Ah!
**[08:26] Agent B**
Finally.
**[08:27] Tonan**
Sheltering the murderer of 35.
**[08:29] Tonan**
Association with the Mafia.
**[08:31] Tonan**
The female doctor is suspected
of murdering a patient
**[08:33] Tonan**
during her time as a combat medic.
**[08:35] Tonan**
We shall expose them for these crimes
and dismantle the Detective Agency.
**[08:38] Tonan**
This is the moment our
organization has waited for.
**[08:46] Secretary (Nikolai)**
Tonan-sensei.
**[08:48] Secretary (Nikolai)**
I've gathered the documents.
**[08:51] Secretary (Nikolai)**
Orders sent to Fukuzawa for the assassination
**[08:53] Secretary (Nikolai)**
of pro-war individuals at the end of the war.
**[08:56] Tonan**
The Armed Detective Agency won't
survive the publication of this information.
**[09:00] Tonan**
And the list of targets for assassination?
**[09:02] Secretary (Nikolai)**
Right here.

*Father...*
**[09:11] Tonan**
*I can finally avenge you.*
**[09:15] Tonan**
I must thank the providers
of this information.
**[09:18] Tonan**
Though, it's still unclear how they
managed to get it.
**[09:23] Tonan**
I ought to meet with them in person.
**[09:25] Secretary (Nikolai)**
I've already arranged for an interview.
**[09:28] Tonan**
Oh?
**[09:29] Tonan**
When?
**[09:30] Tonan**
Right now.
**[09:39] Secretary (Nikolai)**
Thank you for all you've done for
me these past six months, sir.
**[09:43] Secretary (Nikolai)**
Now, then, quiz time!
**[09:44] Secretary (Nikolai)**
Why didn't I kill you just now?
**[09:49] Secretary (Nikolai)**
The answer is: because you're going to hate
**[09:51] Secretary (Nikolai)**
going back to your own
station before you die!
**[09:56] Dazai**
You got me.
**[09:58] Dazai**
I knew I was being tracked,
**[10:00] Dazai**
but I guess hiding in a crowd was
no use against the Hunting Dogs.
**[10:04] Dazai**
You're going to take me out
along with the whole crowd.
**[10:07] Jouno**
I can hear your rage.
**[10:09] Jouno**
Soon it'll turn into fear of your punishment.
**[10:13] Jouno**
I can't wait for that moment.
**[10:15] Dazai**
We're going to get along great.
**[10:18] Dazai**
Just tell me one thing:
why did you come arrest me now?
**[10:23] Jouno**
Fingerprints, recordings, photos...
**[10:26] Jouno**
All manner of evidence suddenly reemerged,
**[10:30] Jouno**
as though a switch had just been thrown.
**[10:37] Mushitaro**
It was about my special
ability from the beginning.
**[10:40] Mushitaro**
You wanted to reverse a perfect
murder and restore guilt.
**[10:46] Mushitaro**
That's why you lured me in.
**[10:49] Nikolai**
*Huy!*
**[10:50] Nikolai**
*What's upsy-daisy!*
**[10:52] Nikolai**
* So, Armed Detective Agency, I'm going*
* to give you four pieces of information.*
**[10:57] Nikolai**
*First!*
**[10:59] Nikolai**
* I restrained government*
* bigwigs with fun machines.*
**[11:02] Nikolai**
*It's the chainsaw human disassembly show!*
**[11:05] Nikolai**
* As soon as the time comes,*
* he'll be cut clean into two!*
**[11:08] Kunikida**
Dissatisfaction and apathy.
**[11:09] Nikolai**
*Second!*
**[11:11] Nikolai**
* If someone who isn't a member*
* of the Detective Agency comes in,*
**[11:13] Nikolai**
*the chainsaw will activate automatically.*
**[11:16] Nikolai**
*Third!*
**[11:17] Nikolai**
*The chainsaw will activate at exactly 6 PM.*
**[11:20] Nikolai**
*And fourth...*
**[11:24] Nikolai**
*Dammit!*
**[11:25] Nikolai**
*I just realized there isn't a fourth!*
**[11:27] Nikolai**
*Oh, no!*
**[11:29] Nikolai**
*You!*
**[11:30] Nikolai**
*Any ideas?*
**[11:31] Nikolai**
*Crap, this is an on-air oopsie!*
**[11:33] Nikolai**
*Stop the camera!*
**[11:34] Nikolai**
*The camera!*
**[11:37] Kunikida**
Thirty more minutes.
**[11:39] Rampo**
Understood.
**[11:41] Rampo**
Be careful.
**[11:43] Rampo**
Given he's demanding that an
Agency member enters first,
**[11:46] Rampo**
you'd be crazy not to suspect a trap.
**[11:49] Kunikida**
*Do you have any idea what they're after?*
**[11:53] Rampo**
I got this.
**[11:54] Rampo**
I'm standing in front of the clue right now.
**[12:02] Rampo**
I smell blood.
**[12:08] Rampo**
Chief Taneda!
**[12:11] Taneda**
Fukuzawa's detective kid...
**[12:17] Taneda**
I know what Decay of Angels is after.
**[12:23] (Flashback) Kunikida**
It'll take at least ten minutes
for all of us to arrive.
**[12:27] (Flashback) Kunikida**
You are to go in first and
stop the timer device.
**[12:32] Atsushi**
* It might be dangerous to*
* charge in from the front.*
**[12:35] Atsushi**
* I think I'll have to use the*
* underground escape route.*
**[12:46] Nikolai**
You're even more nimble
than you're rumored to be,
**[12:50] Nikolai**
Tiger boy.
**[12:52] Nikolai**
My name is Nikolai!
**[12:55] Nikolai**
Okies, it's quiz time!
**[12:57] Nikolai**
What is my special ability?
**[13:00] Atsushi**
* The hand he has in his cape*
* shows up elsewhere in space.*
**[13:04] Atsushi**
A matter teleportation ability?
**[13:06] Nikolai**
Bingo!
**[13:08] Nikolai**
My special ability lets me connect my cape
with a point somewhere else in space.
**[13:12] Nikolai**
I have a range of roughly 30 meters.
**[13:15] Atsushi**
*So, even if I hide, he'll still shoot me.*
**[13:17] Atsushi**
Fine!
**[13:18] Nikolai**
Yipes.
**[13:23] Nikolai**
Tiger fangs!
**[13:24] Atsushi**
You're mine!
**[13:31] Nikolai**
I went and dropped a utility
pole from the surface.
**[13:37] Taneda**
Decay of Angels is a criminal
organization comprised of five people.
**[13:42] Taneda**
Jester Nikolai.
**[13:43] Taneda**
Demon Fyodor.
**[13:45] Taneda**
And three more special rank,
dangerous Gifted.
**[13:49] (Flashback) Mitamura**
We'll wipe out all the Gifted
rotting this country's foundations.
**[13:54] (Flashback) Rampo**
I see.
**[13:56] (Flashback) Rampo**
V is an organization of Gifted
brought together to drive out Gifted.
**[14:02] Rampo**
*V as in *five*.*
**[14:03] Rampo**
*The five death omens of an angel!*
**[14:06] Taneda**
And one of them has the ability to exchange
information that the others want.
**[14:12] Taneda**
That's who wounded me.
**[14:14] Rampo**
So then...
**[14:15] Taneda**
They stole information.
**[14:17] Taneda**
From here.
**[14:20] Taneda**
On the other hand,
I learned what their goal is.
**[14:23] Rampo**
I'm going to contact the
Special Operations Division.
**[14:26] Rampo**
You need a doctor.
**[14:26] Taneda**
Listen to me!
**[14:28] Taneda**
They've used my memories to
steal a page from a book.
**[14:32] Rampo**
A page?
**[14:34] Taneda**
A blank novel that makes anything
written in it become reality.
**[14:38] Taneda**
It's a page from that book,
torn out to use for research.
**[14:46] Atsushi**
*His special ability is strong.*
**[14:49] Nikolai**
Guess I'll just go ahead and restrain you.
**[14:57] Atsushi**
*It's not just powerful in combat.*
**[14:59] Atsushi**
* This ability could be used for raids,*
* burglary, eavesdropping, abduction...*
**[15:03] Atsushi**
*He could do anything.*
**[15:05] Atsushi**
* He's the one who killed*
* the government officials!*
**[15:10] Atsushi**
Why?
**[15:12] Atsushi**
Why do you kill people?
**[15:13] Atsushi**
And so horribly?
**[15:17] Nikolai**
The four I killed asked
me that same question.
**[15:21] Nikolai**
And I have two answers.
**[15:24] Nikolai**
This is the first one: because it's fun!
**[15:29] Nikolai**
Because it's so damn fun
and gets me so excited!
**[15:33] Nikolai**
Sounds like a plausible answer, doesn't it?
**[15:36] Nikolai**
You're killed by a monster
without a speck of humanity.
**[15:39] Nikolai**
It's an injustice,
but it's easy to understand.
**[15:40] Nikolai**
You can die with a sense of closure.
**[15:43] Nikolai**
But you aren't a monster's victim
when I murder you.
**[15:46] Nikolai**
So I'll tell you the second, real reason.
**[15:51] Nikolai**
I'm perfectly sane.
**[15:54] Nikolai**
I understand how evil killing is and
feel as much guilt as anyone.
**[16:00] Nikolai**
Do you like birds?
**[16:03] Nikolai**
I love them.
**[16:05] Nikolai**
They fly, unbound whatsoever
by gravity. Total freedom.
**[16:09] Nikolai**
That's my wish.
**[16:11] Nikolai**
That's why I joined Decay of Angels.
**[16:14] Taneda**
The page stolen by Decay of Angels
**[16:18] Taneda**
has the same power as the book itself.
**[16:22] Taneda**
But there's a rule to using the book.
**[16:25] Taneda**
What's written in it must have the
causal consistency of a novel.
**[16:31] Taneda**
For some reason, a narrative-like
logical consistency
**[16:34] Taneda**
is required for it to be
able to overwrite reality.
**[16:38] Taneda**
That must have been how it was created,
by whomever it was that had such an ability.
**[16:42] Taneda**
Though, I suppose, since you can't just write
**[16:46] Taneda**
"One day, humanity was doomed" and expect
it to come true, it's a good rule.
**[16:50] Rampo**
Chief Taneda!
**[16:52] Taneda**
Abandon the mission and run.
**[16:55] Taneda**
They intend to use the Agency
as the catalyst of doom.
**[17:00] Atsushi**
The freedom of a bird?
**[17:02] Atsushi**
That's what you kill for?
**[17:04] Atsushi**
I don't get it at all!
**[17:06] Nikolai**
I'm sure you don't.
**[17:07] Nikolai**
In the end, Fyodor-kun was
the only one who did.
**[17:11] Nikolai**
Okay, next question!
**[17:14] Nikolai**
When did I start lying in what I just said?
**[17:19] Nikolai**
Did I fool you?
**[17:21] Nikolai**
You shouldn't lend your ear to a jester!
**[17:24] Nikolai**
You won't be able to sleep at night.
**[17:26] Nikolai**
Now...
**[17:27] Nikolai**
You can have your leg back.
**[17:30] Atsushi**
*My leg's stuck in the ground!*
**[17:32] Atsushi**
*I can't get it out!*
**[17:33] Nikolai**
And thus ends the show.
**[17:35] Nikolai**
I hope you'll visit again.
**[17:40] Atsushi**
Stop!
**[17:45] Kunikida**
Time?
**[17:47] Tanizaki**
Five more minutes.
**[17:50] Kunikida**
Military police...
**[17:51] Kunikida**
If anyone besides the Detective Agency
enters, the hostages die.
**[17:55] Kunikida**
Kenji, stop the military police.
**[17:57] Kenji**
Roger.
**[17:58] Kunikida**
The rest of you, follow me.
**[18:04] Nikolai**
Hey, sir.
**[18:05] Nikolai**
It's almost time to say
bye-bye to your lower half.
**[18:08] Nikolai**
How do you feel?
**[18:09] Nikolai**
Wow!
**[18:11] Nikolai**
In recognition of your strong sense
of justice, I'll let you free!
**[18:16] Nikolai**
Use this to call for help.
**[18:19] Tonan**
You lousy scum...
**[18:21] Tonan**
The justice system will destroy you all!
**[18:26] Nikolai**
I envy you.
**[18:29] Nikolai**
Birds born in a cage don't
realize they're prisoners.
**[18:33] Nikolai**
The prison is here.
**[18:35] Nikolai**
In your skull.
**[18:37] Nikolai**
We can't escape.
**[18:41] Nikolai**
Not from this warm, moist hell.
***SIGN*** "Not from this warm, moist hell," he says.
**[18:49] Squad Member A**
Headquarters, sniper team here.
**[18:51] Squad Member A**
Targets sighted through the window.
**[18:53] Squad Member A**
However, the targets' faces
are obscured by white hoods.
**[18:57] Captain**
The white hoods are the Decay of Angels.
**[19:00] Captain**
Wait for our signal to fire.
**[19:01] Captain**
Rescue squad, your status?
**[19:03] Rescue Squad Member**
An unidentified Gifted flipped
our armored vehicle over!
**[19:07] Captain**
What?
**[19:09] Captain**
Damn it!
**[19:10] Captain**
Tell intel to pull up
the Gifted immediately!
**[19:16] Captain**
Lieutenant, your thoughts?
**[19:18] Captain**
The hostages are all general
manager-level dignitaries.
**[19:22] Captain**
It might be true...
**[19:25] Captain**
that Decay of Angels
are government agents.
**[19:29] Lieutenant**
If that's true, it would be dangerous
to collaborate with other agencies.
**[19:34] Captain**
Demand that they finish
determining the subject
**[19:36] Captain**
of the hostages' secret meeting faster.
**[19:38] Lieutenant**
Sir.
**[19:40] Captain**
Government traitors...
**[19:43] Captain**
Which arm are Decay of Angels from?
**[19:47] Tanizaki**
The hostages are beyond this door.
**[19:50] Kunikida**
First, we throw in this sonic grenade.
**[19:53] Kunikida**
Simultaneously, we use Demon Snow
**[19:55] Kunikida**
to decapitate all of the
perpetrators from behind.
**[19:57] Kunikida**
A frontal special ability fight
would lead to the hostages' deaths.
**[20:02] Kunikida**
There's no other way.
**[20:06] Nikolai**
It's time.
**[20:07] Nikolai**
Press the start button.
**[20:09] Tonan**
Don't!
**[20:10] Tonan**
There's a few more minutes until six!
**[20:12] Nikolai**
No, we're right on time.
**[20:15] Nikolai**
Also...
**[20:16] Nikolai**
Everyone, take off your hoods.
***SIGN*** "Take off your hoods,"
***SIGN*** said the young man.
**[20:23] Squad Member A**
Targets are removing their hoods!
**[20:24] Captain**
We'll see the perpetrators' faces!
**[20:26] Captain**
Don't miss them!
**[20:32] Kunikida**
Dive!
***SIGN*** Under the white hoods
***SIGN*** were their faces...
**[20:50] Kunikida**
What the hell is this?
**[20:53] Kunikida**
It's the hostage room.
**[20:56] Kunikida**
Impossible...
**[20:57] Kunikida**
We haven't opened the door.
**[20:59] Tanizaki**
Is this the start button?
**[21:00] Tanizaki**
I'm pressing it?
**[21:02] Nikolai**
Welcome.
**[21:05] Kunikida**
You're the murderer.
**[21:07] Kunikida**
Why are you tied up?
**[21:09] Nikolai**
This is my escape.
**[21:11] Nikolai**
From the biological brainwashing
that we call morality.
**[21:14] Nikolai**
Hear me!
**[21:15] Nikolai**
My scream of free will!
**[21:22] Nikolai**
Help me!
**[21:23] Nikolai**
Help me, please!
**[21:25] Nikolai**
Mr. Tonan!
**[21:26] Nikolai**
C-Call for help!
**[21:27] Nikolai**
The perpetrator's identity!
**[21:32] Tonan**
I know who the perpetrator is.
**[21:35] Squad Member A**
*The hostages are being cut in half!*
**[21:37] Captain**
You have permission to fire!
**[21:38] Lieutenant**
Captain!
**[21:39] Lieutenant**
We've learned that the subject of the meeting
**[21:41] Lieutenant**
was the publication of the
Detective Agency's criminal acts.
**[21:55] Rampo**
*Kunikida, get out of there!*
**[21:57] Rampo**
Apathy and dissatisfaction
with one's own station...
**[22:00] Rampo**
It's about the Detective Agency!
**[22:02] Tonan**
The Decay of Angels...
**[22:04] Tonan**
is the Armed Detective Agency!

**[00:23] Rampo**
*The power of the page.*
**[00:25] Rampo**
*Which means...*
**[00:27] Rampo**
* The camera's footage must show*
* me committing the murderer.*
**[00:33] Military Police A**
This is a warning, suspect!
**[00:34] Military Police A**
Drop your weapon and surrender!
**[00:37] Military Police A**
I repeat!
**[00:38] Tonan**
I know who the perpetrator is.
**[00:41] Tonan**
The Decay of Angels...
**[00:43] Tonan**
is the Armed Detective Agency!
**[00:50] Kunikida**
Snipers, Tanizaki!
**[00:52] Kunikida**
Hide us using your ability.
**[00:54] Kunikida**
We're running!
**[00:57] Lieutenant**
Sniper team has lost the targets.
**[00:59] Captain**
It's an illusion ability.
**[01:00] Captain**
They can't hide their body heat, though.
**[01:03] Captain**
All units, deploy thermal goggles.
**[01:05] Captain**
Also, bullets will not work on the Gifted
with altered healing and physical strength.
**[01:09] Captain**
Infiltration squad, equip gas grenades.
**[01:12] Captain**
What is the risk of our
communications being intercepted?
**[01:15] Lieutenant**
Military encryption devices
have been issued.
**[01:17] Captain**
Good.
**[01:17] Captain**
A band of murderers disguised as good men...
**[01:21] Captain**
The time of your reckoning has come.
**[01:23] Kenji**
Kunikida-san!
**[01:24] Kenji**
This way!
**[01:26] Kunikida**
Those snipers must be from the military
police's counterterrorism team,
**[01:29] Kunikida**
which means they must have
us surrounded by now.
**[01:32] Tanizaki**
Let's surrender.
**[01:34] Tanizaki**
We're innocent.
**[01:35] Rampo**
*It's no use.*
**[01:37] Kunikida**
Rampo-san! You're safe!
**[01:39] Rampo**
* Chief Taneda has received treatment*
* for his bleeding. He's on the run.*
**[01:42] Rampo**
* He may testify on our behalf*
* if he regains consciousness,*
**[01:47] Rampo**
*but I don't have much hope that he will.*
**[01:49] Tanizaki**
Why?
**[01:50] Rampo**
* This is the work of the*
* reality-altering book.*
**[01:54] Rampo**
The chief said the book may have been
made by Gifted, but I doubt that.
**[01:58] Rampo**
It's from an even higher
power than any Gifted.
**[02:02] Rampo**
Case in point, Mushitaro-kun's
reality-altering ability
**[02:05] Rampo**
wasn't able to overwrite people's memories.
**[02:08] Rampo**
But that's happening this time.
**[02:12] Kyouka**
I definitely have memories of us abducting
the hostages and killing them.
**[02:21] Tanizaki**
So, then, if we're caught...
**[02:23] Tanizaki**
The government has Gifted
who can read memories.
**[02:26] Tanizaki**
If they investigate us,
we'll no doubt be sentenced to death.
**[02:28] Military Police B**
Don't move!
**[02:31] Kunikida**
Rampo-san!
**[02:40] Tanizaki**
No...
**[02:42] Tanizaki**
Not Rampo-san, too...
**[02:44] Tanizaki**
What Rampo-san said about the
Detective Agency's demise...
**[02:47] Tanizaki**
This is it, isn't it?
**[04:20] Infiltration Squad A**
This is Squad A.
**[04:21] Infiltration Squad A**
We've arrived at the target location.
**[04:24] Infiltration Squad B**
This is Squad B.
**[04:25] Infiltration Squad B**
We've arrived at our point.
**[04:27] Captain**
*Understood.*
**[04:28] Captain**
*Begin!*
**[04:35] Kunikida**
Knockout gas!
**[04:38] Infiltration Squad B**
*Gas deployed.*
**[04:39] Captain**
They'll lose consciousness a little
over ten seconds after inhaling the gas.
**[04:42] Captain**
* Confirm the targets' heartbeats*
* using your heartbeat sensors.*
**[04:47] Infiltration Squad C**
Headquarters!
**[04:48] Infiltration Squad C**
One target's heartbeat is weakened.
**[04:50] Infiltration Squad C**
The other four cannot be confirmed.
**[04:53] Captain**
What?!
**[04:54] Infiltration Squad C**
*We're going in.*
**[05:00] Infiltration Squad C**
Headquarters...
**[05:01] Infiltration Squad C**
They're all dead.
**[05:03] Captain**
*Shit!*
**[05:04] Captain**
Suicide.
**[05:05] Captain**
Resuscitate the one with
a weak pulse. Quickly!
**[05:08] Captain**
* I want them to spill the*
* details of the crime.*
**[05:11] Infiltration Squad A**
*C-Captain!*
**[05:12] Captain**
*What?*
**[05:15] Yosano**
Welcome.
**[05:16] Infiltration Squad A**
Impossible!
**[05:17] Infiltration Squad A**
The gas should have knocked them all out.
**[05:19] Infiltration Squad C**
Did they bleed themselves on purpose
to lower their blood pressure
**[05:21] Infiltration Squad C**
and slow their absorption of the gas?
**[05:23] Yosano**
Did you know?
**[05:25] Yosano**
People are still alive for a
while after their hearts stop.
**[05:28] Yosano**
For about two minutes.
**[05:29] Yosano**
And for Detective Agency members,
a near-death wound is no wound at all.
**[05:32] Yosano**
Special Ability: Thou Shalt Not Die!
***SIGN*** Thou Shalt Not Die
**[05:42] Captain**
Infiltration team, what's going on?!
**[05:44] Captain**
Respond!
**[05:46] Lieutenant**
No sounds of infiltration team activity.
**[05:48] Lieutenant**
It seems they've all been taken down.
**[05:53] Infiltration Squad A**
To think they'd die just
to avoid inhaling gas...
**[05:57] Infiltration Squad A**
They couldn't have done it without
knowing about our plan of attack.
**[06:01] Infiltration Squad A**
But how?
**[06:02] Kunikida**
Anything I've seen once,
I can reproduce with my notebook.
**[06:06] Kunikida**
And we've used your encryption devices
several times in our joint operations.
**[06:13] Kunikida**
Use that to call for help.
**[06:14] Kunikida**
With prompt treatment, you'll survive.
**[06:19] Captain**
All teams, remove your masks.
**[06:22] Captain**
Given that they're eavesdropping
on our communications,
**[06:24] Captain**
you'll have to act on your own discretion.
**[06:26] Lieutenant**
Captain, where to?
**[06:27] Captain**
I'm going to the frontlines, too.
**[06:29] Captain**
I can't allow any more
innocent lives to be lost.
**[06:32] Radar Operator**
Captain!
**[06:34] Radar Operator**
A large warhead is
headed in our direction.
**[06:36] Captain**
What?!
**[06:37] Captain**
The enemy is targeting us directly?!
**[07:01] Fukuchi**
Man, this aircraft's great for shoulder pain.
**[07:12] Fukuchi**
At ease, men.
**[07:14] Fukuchi**
Where's your commander?
**[07:15] Lieutenant**
Raise your hands and get on your knees!
**[07:17] Lieutenant**
Are you with the Detective Agency?
**[07:19] Lieutenant**
Anyone colliding with the ground at that
speed ought to have been incinerated!
**[07:24] Fukuchi**
No kidding.
**[07:25] Fukuchi**
It's a horrible ride.
**[07:27] Fukuchi**
Can't even scratch my own ass.
**[07:29] Jouno**
Hold it.
**[07:31] Captain**
When did you...
**[07:33] Jouno**
Captain, did you miscalculate
your descent trajectory again?
**[07:37] Lieutenant**
I'm sure I fired...
**[07:40] Fukuchi**
Jouno!
**[07:41] Fukuchi**
You were already here.
**[07:43] Jouno**
How many times do I have to tell you?
**[07:46] Jouno**
Please don't give our troops
a heart attack for no reason.
**[07:51] Jouno**
Is that a ballistic pod
for long-range insertion?
**[07:54] Lieutenant**
Which means he's the legendary...
**[07:57] Captain**
All men, lower your weapons.
**[08:00] Captain**
These men are here to back us up.
**[08:02] Captain**
They're from the Military Police's
most powerful force,
**[08:05] Captain**
the Hunting Dogs.
**[08:07] Fukuchi**
The others are here, too.
**[08:24] Tetchou**
It's open.
**[08:25] Teruko**
Dammit! It won't open!
**[08:27] Teruko**
Blood!
**[08:28] Teruko**
Show me blood!
**[08:29] Teruko**
Show me the guilty's blood
and pleas for mercy!
**[08:33] Teruko**
Hurry up, or I'll chop off your limbs
and use them for my amusement!
**[08:35] Fukuchi**
Our gremlin is angry.
**[08:37] Jouno**
It's not funny, Captain.
**[08:38] Teruko**
Open up!
**[08:39] Jouno**
If the vice captain goes on
a rampage, we're all dead.
**[08:43] Teruko**
Hurry up and open it, dammit!
**[08:54] Teruko**
You're lucky this time, my servants.
**[08:57] Teruko**
One second more, and I would have chopped up
**[09:00] Teruko**
your arms and legs
for my bonsai projects.
**[09:03] Military Police D; E**

Teruko's going to put her life on

You're the commander on-site, correct?
**[10:03] Captain**
Yes, sir!
**[10:04] Captain**
It's an honor to meet you, Fukuchi-dono.
**[10:07] Fukuchi**
Leave the rest to us.

**[10:21] Fukuzawa**

Hands up, Fukuzawa.
**[10:29] Military Police E**
We're arresting you.
**[10:31] Military Police E**
You enemy of the state!
**[10:33] Military Police E**
This is the end of the
Armed Detective Agency.
**[10:40] Kunikida**
Have we gained some distance on them?
**[10:45] Tanizaki**
My phone isn't working.
**[10:46] Kunikida**
Radio jamming.
**[10:48] Kunikida**
They'll stop us physically next.
**[10:50] Kunikida**
Surveillance satellites, search dogs,
roadblocks, military drones...
**[10:55] Kunikida**
There's nothing the five of us can
do with our special abilities.
**[10:58] Yosano**
After all, the sheer numbers and
firepower of organized militaries
**[11:02] Yosano**
are unbeatable in the modern world.
**[11:05] Tanizaki**
Dammit!
**[11:06] Tanizaki**
We can't be stuck here!
**[11:08] Tanizaki**
Naomi might be getting
treated like a criminal!
**[11:11] Kunikida**
Criminal... huh?
**[11:18] Kenji**
Everyone, it's the ten-year orchard.
**[11:22] Kenji**
When I was in the village,
an orchard we spent ten years raising
**[11:26] Kenji**
got wiped out overnight in a storm.
**[11:30] Kenji**
We hadn't even harvested once.
**[11:33] Yosano**
Well, that's awful.
**[11:35] Kenji**
What do you think we did?
**[11:37] Kenji**
We were dumbfounded,
and then we laughed for a while,
**[11:41] Kenji**
and we planted new seedlings.
**[11:44] Kenji**
To rebuild ten years.
**[11:48] Kenji**
A storm has done really bad
things to the Detective Agency,
**[11:52] Kenji**
but it's okay.
**[11:54] Kenji**
In the end, a calamitous storm and
a blessed rain are the same thing.
**[11:59] Kenji**
Let's live, everyone.
**[12:01] Kenji**
Let's get through the storm.
**[12:03] Kenji**
We don't get to choose not to live
on the spinning rock we call Earth.
**[12:11] Kunikida**
Kenji's right.
**[12:14] Kunikida**
Let's weather the storm and
rebuild the Detective Agency.
**[12:17] Kunikida**
To that end, we need to
come out of this alive.
**[12:23] Kunikida**
The longer we wait, the better
equipped and staffed they'll be,
**[12:26] Kunikida**
and the wider their search radius.
**[12:28] Kunikida**
From my experience, their search radius will
grow by roughly 50 kilometers per hour.
**[12:33] Tanizaki**
Does that mean we have to escape at a
rate of at least 50 kilometers per hour?
**[12:37] Kunikida**
That's right.
**[12:38] Kunikida**
Which means we need a vehicle.
**[12:40] Jouno**
They have two options.
**[12:42] Jouno**
First is the arterial road to the south.
**[12:44] Jouno**
They may commandeer a vehicle
there to make their escape.
**[12:47] Jouno**
The second is the station to the north.
**[12:49] Jouno**
They could hide among the
crowds and escape by train.
**[12:52] Fukuchi**
This squad is exemplary.
**[12:54] Fukuchi**
I could be screwing around base while
the rest of you close the case.
**[12:59] Jouno**
I don't appreciate your
vulgar figure of speech.
**[13:01] Teruko**
North or south, train or car.
**[13:04] Teruko**
A choice between life and death.
**[13:06] Teruko**
Now, which course will those
pathetic, starving dogs choose?
**[13:11] Kunikida**
We're taking a car.
**[13:12] Tanizaki**
Why a car and not the train?
**[13:14] Kunikida**
If they catch up to us on the train,
**[13:18] Kunikida**
it could get derailed and
cause a grave accident.
**[13:21] Kunikida**
Many lives would be lost.
**[13:23] Kunikida**
That would be unacceptable.
**[13:24] Kunikida**
Therefore, we're taking a car.
**[13:29] Yosano**
That's good.
**[13:31] Yosano**
That's good, Kunikida.
**[13:40] Jouno**
So, which way shall we go?
The trains or the roads?
**[13:45] Teruko**
Both.
**[13:46] Teruko**
We'll face the enemy's ambush
head-on and crush them.
**[13:49] Teruko**
That's how we do things.
**[13:51] Fukuchi**
All right.
**[13:52] Fukuchi**
Teruko-kun and I will head
to the trains to the north.
**[13:55] Fukuchi**
Jouno and Tetchou will head
to the roads to the south.
**[13:57] Fukuchi**
Do not lose them!
**[13:59] Captain**
Fukuchi-dono, the enemy has
destroyed our vehicles.
**[14:02] Captain**
We only have a car that we can
use for transportation.
**[14:05] Fukuchi**
Not a problem.
**[14:07] Fukuchi**
Fail, and you will be punished.
**[14:10] Jouno**
What was the punishment, again?
**[14:13] Fukuchi**
Er... we haven't messed up
since we were formed. I forget.
**[14:17] Jouno**
Well, then...
**[14:34] Driver**
Hello, may I help you?
**[14:36] Kunikida**
Do you have vehicle theft insurance?
**[14:38] Driver**
I do. Why?
**[14:40] Kunikida**
I see.
**[14:41] Kunikida**
Congratulations.
**[14:43] Kunikida**
You're getting a brand new car.
**[14:54] Tetchou**
We're here.
**[14:56] Jouno**
Tetchou-san, why did you cut down all
the trees instead of avoiding them?
**[15:02] Tetchou**
The fastest route to the destination
is the straight line.
**[15:05] Jouno**
Only an idiot would think like that.
**[15:07] Tetchou**
Let's have a meal before
we engage the enemy.
**[15:09] Jouno**
I'll have you know that, of everyone
in our squad, I hate you the most.
**[15:14] Tetchou**
Hate? Why?
**[15:15] Jouno**
Because your soul is entirely
lacking in artistry!
**[15:18] Jouno**
You'll put shichimi spice on strawberries
just because you think similar colors pair well!
**[15:24] Jouno**
And sugar on rice!
**[15:26] Jouno**
Soup base on youkans!
**[15:28] Jouno**
Now you're eating boiled
eggs with the shell!
**[15:30] Jouno**
I wish you'd just die!
**[15:31] Jouno**
You're completely useless
until we meet the enemy.
**[15:34] Jouno**
Just shut up and don't say anything.
**[15:37] Jouno**
Also, your pulse and breath are annoying.
**[15:39] Jouno**

What do we do now?

We'll hide out and gather information.

If we can find someone
who will provide shelter
**[16:32] Kunikida**
to Detective Agency fugitives, that is.
**[16:34] Yosano**
I know of a hideout where

although I'd loathe being there.
**[16:40] Tanizaki**
Really?
**[16:41] Kenji**
Where's that?

We're stuck here.
**[18:34] Kunikida**
Kenji!
**[18:36] Kunikida**
We don't have time to slow down!
**[18:38] Kunikida**
Grab on!
**[18:46] Jouno**
Well, well...
**[18:47] Kunikida**
This couldn't get any worse.
**[18:49] Kunikida**
They're the Hunting Dogs, the most
formidable squad in the Military Police.
**[18:52] Kunikida**
Their bodies have been
augmented by Gifted experts.
**[18:55] Kunikida**
They have several times the physical
capabilities of the average person.
**[18:59] Kunikida**
The next time they catch us,
they'll destroy the car, and we'll be done.
**[19:03] Jouno**
You were more useless than
ever today, Tetchou-san.
**[19:07] Jouno**
Have you considered finding a new job?
**[19:09] Tetchou**
There, I'm all warmed up now.
**[19:12] Jouno**
* Ooh, he's a bit pissed*
* about getting run over.*
**[19:15] Tetchou**
Some evil goes unpunished.
**[19:18] Tetchou**
Some good goes unrewarded.
**[19:20] Tetchou**
Without my blade, one cannot
wish for all things to be just.
**[19:30] Tetchou**
Plum Blossoms in the Snow!
**[19:50] Kunikida**
What just happened to us?
**[19:52] Jouno**
You came back to save your comrade,
and you all went down.
**[19:57] Jouno**
That's the way life is, usually.
**[20:01] Kenji**
Look out!
**[20:07] Tetchou**
There is no escape from my sword.
**[20:10] Kunikida**
*I still can't comprehend his attack.*

*I have to do something.*

**[20:29] Kunikida**

**[20:35] Kunikida**

*He's on another level.*

*You're certainly capable.*
**[20:48] Jouno**
Now, then, Tetchou-san...
**[20:50] Jouno**
First, decapitate the doctor, please.
**[20:55] Jouno**
We can't have her healing her buddies.
**[20:57] Jouno**
Besides, she's an angel of death.
**[21:00] Jouno**
The world's better off without her.
**[21:03] Kunikida**
No! Don't kill her!
**[21:05] Kunikida**
All right. We'll surrender.
**[21:07] Jouno**
You have an interesting pulse,
idealist Kunikida-san.
**[21:12] Jouno**
You're relieved right now, aren't you?
**[21:16] Kunikida**
What?
**[21:17] Jouno**
I read up on you.
**[21:19] Jouno**
Your ideals are as lofty and
large as a hot-air balloon,
**[21:23] Jouno**
but a hot-air balloon inevitably runs
out of fuel and returns to the ground.
**[21:29] Jouno**
You've lived in fear of that day.
**[21:32] Kunikida**
Stop.
**[21:33] Jouno**
I'm happy for you, Kunikida-san.

To think we'd be saved by the Port Mafia...
**[02:22] Chuuya**
Saved?
**[02:23] Chuuya**
Idiot.
**[02:25] Chuuya**
Your boss made a deal with my boss.
**[02:28] Chuuya**
The price for your rescue is a transfer
of one Agency member to the Mafia.
**[02:32] Chuuya**
We've always got room for Gifted
criminals with useful abilities.
**[02:36] Kunikida**
The president did?
**[02:37] Tanizaki**
No... well...
**[02:39] Tanizaki**
We would all have been arrested,
and Yosano-san would have been killed.
**[02:43] Kunikida**
You're right.
**[02:45] Kunikida**
Ideals alone can't save lives.
**[02:48] Kunikida**
We have to be practical.
**[02:51] Yosano**
Do you think he hit his head or something?
**[02:53] Kenji**
Maybe it's because his
core got chopped up.
**[02:55] Tanizaki**
His core?
**[02:56] Tanizaki**
Oh, you mean his notebook.

* If my colleagues die,*

**[03:11] Kunikida**
*Am I waiting for that day?*

I'm a little tired.
**[04:59] Atsushi**
Of course you are.
**[05:00] Atsushi**
We've been sitting here for
two days without drinking.
**[05:03] Kyouka**
I'm going to go look for food and water.
**[05:06] Atsushi**
I wonder if it's true...
**[05:07] Atsushi**
I heard the inspectors speaking.
**[05:11] Atsushi**
They said the president was arrested
**[05:13] Atsushi**
and Kunikida-san blew
himself up during his escape.
**[05:16] Atsushi**
He may not have survived.
**[05:20] Atsushi**
How did it come to this?
**[05:24] Kyouka**
Survival is our priority right now.

*What a terrible incident.*
**[05:30] Female caster**
* A government-sanctioned detective agency*
* turning out to be a terrorist organization...*
**[05:34] Commentator**
* It's unbelievable, but there is video*
* evidence of the crime and many witnesses.*
**[05:40] Commentator**
* It's likely that the crimes they've solved in*
* the past were in fact their own doing.*
**[05:47] Kyouka**
Hide your face.
**[05:49] Kyouka**
First, we need to secure
funds to make our escape.
**[05:52] Kyouka**
Then we'll escape by train.
**[05:54] Atsushi**
Escape... And then?
**[05:57] Kyouka**
I don't know.
**[05:58] Kyouka**
The Decay of Angels...
**[06:00] Kyouka**
the ones behind all this... have
an impeccable, far-reaching plan.
**[06:04] Kyouka**
We don't even have a full picture of
their plot, let alone any evidence.
**[06:09] Atsushi**
*She's right.*
**[06:10] Atsushi**
* If this was really the*
* Decay of Angels' doing,*
**[06:13] Atsushi**
*then Fyodor must be involved.*
**[06:16] Atsushi**
* There's no way the two of us could*
* take down that monster alone.*
**[06:21] (Flashback) Kunikida**
The tiger is strong,
but you're weak.
**[06:24] Atsushi**
*The Agency has saved me time after time,*
**[06:28] Atsushi**
*but I can't help the Agency.*
**[06:31] Dazai**
You're giving up already?
**[06:40] Kyouka**
Is something wrong?
**[06:46] Atsushi**
*Right.*
**[06:47] Atsushi**
*What would Dazai-san do in this situation?*
**[06:53] Atsushi**
*There is...*
**[06:54] Atsushi**
* There's just one lead proving*
* the Agency's innocence.*
**[06:58] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
*The Detective Agency is about
to get a huge job offer!*
**[07:00] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
*Don't accept it!*
**[07:03] Kyouka**
Oguri Mushitaro?
**[07:04] Atsushi**
Yeah.
**[07:05] Atsushi**
He gave Rampo-san a warning
just before the incident.
**[07:08] Atsushi**
He knew about the plan.
**[07:11] Atsushi**
He must know who the
true murderers are, too.
**[07:14] Atsushi**
Maybe even how to restore the
Detective Agency to the way it was.
**[07:17] Kyouka**
He's missing right now, though.
**[07:20] Kyouka**
How do we find him?
**[07:22] Atsushi**
There's always a way.
**[07:25] Atsushi**
Hello?
**[07:28] Kyouka**
Francis' Eyes of God?
**[07:33] Kyouka**
Is this safe, though?
**[07:34] Kyouka**
He was our enemy before.
**[07:36] Kyouka**
He might sell us out to the Military Police.
**[07:39] Atsushi**
He's agreed to hear us out.
**[07:44] Atsushi**
Dazai-san was able to get him to
cooperate during the cannibalism.
**[07:49] Atsushi**
We'll have to try to do the same.
**[07:58] Atsushi**
I smell blood.
**[08:04] Atsushi**
Are you all right?
**[08:06] Louisa**
It's you...
**[08:08] Louisa**
I'm all right.
**[08:10] Louisa**
So, hurry...
**[08:11] Louisa**
Help Francis.
**[08:13] Atsushi**
Take care of her.
**[08:21] Francis**
You seem to have lost your religion
quite spectacularly, priest.
**[08:25] Nathaniel**
Death to my target,
for my beloved princess...
**[08:29] Francis**
You mean Margaret.
**[08:31] Francis**
How touching that you
would try to rescue her,
**[08:35] Francis**
even as you've lost everything.
**[08:36] Francis**
But you see, the disrespect
of forgetting my face...
**[08:40] Francis**
is punishable by death!
**[08:42] Francis**
Physical boost: 50,000 dollars!
**[09:03] Francis**
He got away.
**[09:05] Atsushi**
*He's strong.*
**[09:07] Atsushi**
* I see why he was the*
* leader of The Guild.*
**[09:10] Atsushi**
*But why was an assassin here now?*
**[09:19] Ougai**
How is life in the Port Mafia hideout?
**[09:24] Ougai**
It ought to conceal you from the
Hunting Dogs for at least a week.
**[09:29] Yosano**
Mori-sensei...
**[09:30] Yosano**
Do you know if Kunikida
survived the explosion?
**[09:33] Ougai**
Unfortunately, all I was able to find
out was where Dazai-kun has gone.
**[09:40] Ougai**
Dazai-kun was already arrested by the
Hunting Dogs prior to the hostage situation.
**[09:45] Ougai**
The Military Police transferred
him to the Ministry of Justice,
**[09:47] Ougai**
then to Public Security.
**[09:49] Ougai**
His subsequent whereabouts are unknown.
**[09:57] Francis**
The Detective Agency is innocent, you say?
**[09:59] Atsushi**
I swear.
**[10:00] Francis**
What about the footage on TV of the
hostages being murdered, then?
**[10:04] Atsushi**
We were framed.
**[10:05] Atsushi**
The Decay of Angels are the masterminds.
**[10:08] Atsushi**
Fyodor is a co-conspirator.
**[10:20] Francis**
Even if, hypothetically,
you speak the truth...
**[10:24] Francis**
The Detective Agency is doomed.
**[10:26] Francis**
Defeating Fyodor is impossible.
**[10:30] Francis**
He's currently held in a European
detention center called Mersault.
**[10:37] Francis**
Mersault's very existence
is a national secret.
**[10:40] Francis**
Its location is known only by high-level
European government officials.
**[10:44] Francis**
Needless to say, access is impossible.
**[10:46] Francis**
In fact, it's the safest
hideout in the world.
**[10:50] Fyodor**
Now...
**[10:51] Fyodor**
It would be a little annoying if the
Agency were to use the Eyes of God.
**[10:56] Fyodor**
I ought to eliminate its owner,
just in case.
**[11:01] Atsushi**
But if he's imprisoned, he shouldn't be able
to give orders to the outside, either.
**[11:05] Francis**
That kind of thing is his specialty.
**[11:09] Atsushi**
In other words, it's impossible to beat him.
**[11:14] Francis**
It's like a game of chess where
only he can move the pieces.
**[11:19] Francis**
There's nothing we can do.
**[11:22] Atsushi**
Spell Bullet!
**[11:25] Atsushi**
* He must have left his blood behind*
* when the fountain pen hit it.*
**[11:29] Francis**
* I won't be able to boost*
* my strength in time.*
**[11:31] Francis**
*I'm dead.*
**[11:40] Fyodor**
And now the Eyes of God is useless.
**[11:43] Fyodor**
I've devised a perfect plan.
**[11:47] Fyodor**
But perfection is boring, isn't it?
**[11:55] Fyodor**
A new prisoner?
**[12:04] Kyouka**
I activated the sprinkler
system to dilute the blood.
**[12:08] Atsushi**
Kyouka-chan.
**[12:09] Francis**
You did this?
**[12:11] Francis**
But how did you know about the blood?
**[12:14] Kyouka**
I was under the stairwell when a
warning showed up on the display.
**[12:19] Dazai**
I've stopped your assassination attempt,
mister demon.
**[12:25] Francis**
Well played.
**[12:28] Francis**
You let yourself be captured
in order to save the Agency.
**[12:31] Dazai**
The only way I can see through your
schemes is by sitting here with you.
**[12:36] Francis**
I'm blessed to have a chess
partner in a place like this.
**[12:44] Francis**
Chief Taneda is expected to
awaken in the next 40 hours.
**[12:48] Francis**
If the procedure is successful, that is.
**[12:51] Murakoso**
Damn it...
**[12:53] Murakoso**
Why did the chief go after
the enemy on his own?
**[12:56] Murakoso**
This wouldn't have happened
if he'd had us protecting him.
**[12:59] Ango**
That was the criminal's condition.
**[13:02] Ango**
That we would meet each other alone.
**[13:04] Murakoso**
How could we fall for that?!
**[13:07] Ango**
It was for the information.
**[13:09] Ango**
The chief's Gift allows him to learn the
details of any abilities activated nearby.
**[13:14] Ango**
He was confident, having previously
stopped violent Gifted using his ability.
**[13:19] Ango**
Alas...
**[13:21] Ango**
The criminal was one step ahead.
**[13:26] Ango**
Please watch over the chief.
**[13:28] Ango**
I'll give directions on-site.
**[13:30] Aoki**
Wouldn't it be best if you
stay until he awakens?
**[13:33] Ango**
No...
**[13:34] Ango**
I was never on very good
terms with the chief.
**[13:38] Ango**
The chief quantifies human lives.
**[13:41] Ango**
Sacrifice one to save a hundred.
**[13:46] Ango**
I couldn't stand that.
**[13:49] (Flashback) Taneda**
If you discover the
Decay of Angels, kill them.
**[13:52] (Flashback) Ango**
But what of legal justice?
**[13:54] (Flashback) Taneda**
Ango...
**[13:56] (Flashback) Taneda**
What is the mission of the
Special Operations Division?
**[13:58] (Flashback) Taneda**
Peace.
**[14:00] (Flashback) Taneda**
It is to bless the masses with an
ignorant, peaceful existence.
**[14:05] (Flashback) Taneda**
To hell with the law when
peace is on the line.
**[14:08] (Flashback) Taneda**
I will let even good men die for it.
**[14:14] Ango**
I was oblivious.
**[14:17] Ango**
When the chief said he'd have good
men die for the sake of peace,
**[14:20] Ango**
he meant even himself.
**[14:24] Ango**
I'll report on the case's closure
when the chief awakens.
**[14:28] Ango**
I will kill the murderer myself.
**[14:32] Fyodor**
Time for happy group life counseling!
**[14:36] Fyodor**
I, Fyodor, will be your host.
**[14:39] Dazai**
Okay, stop right there! Hold up!
**[14:42] Fyodor**
Yes?
**[14:43] Dazai**
Yes, what?
**[14:44] Fyodor**
Yes, what what?
**[14:47] Dazai**
Counseling...
**[14:49] Fyodor**
Thank you for your
prompt understanding.
**[14:51] Fyodor**
Our high intelligence allows us
to read each other's minds.
**[14:56] Fyodor**
But, because of that, we aren't able
to provide counseling to others.
**[15:01] Fyodor**
Unless they have our level
of intelligence, that is.
**[15:05] Fyodor**
Which is why I'd like to take this opportunity
to discuss our troubles with one another.
**[15:10] Dazai**
Sure, then. You go first.
**[15:12] Fyodor**
All right.
**[15:13] Fyodor**
My subordinates are always waiting for
my instructions. They lack initiative.
**[15:17] Fyodor**
How might I get them to become
more autonomous and effective?
**[15:20] Dazai**
Just sit around all day.
**[15:23] Dazai**
Some of them will realize things have to change
and take it upon themselves to act.
**[15:27] Fyodor**
I see.
**[15:29] Dazai**
Okay, my turn.
**[15:31] Fyodor**
Go ahead.
**[15:32] Dazai**
The waitress at the cafe won't
respond to my advances.
**[15:36] Dazai**
What should I do?
**[15:38] Fyodor**
Make her lose her job and trick
her family into disowning her.
**[15:42] Fyodor**
That ought to convince her to turn to you.
**[15:45] Dazai**
I see.
***SIGN*** lololololol

**[15:56] Dazai + Fyodor**
Tell me how you contact the outside world.
**[16:01] Fyodor**
I figured as much.
**[16:03] Dazai**
Of course.
**[16:04] Dazai**
Whichever of us learns the other's
method of communication first
**[16:07] Dazai**
will be able to ask our associates to
terminate the other's ability to communicate.
**[16:11] Dazai**
In other words...
**[16:13] Dazai**
Victory.
**[16:15] Fyodor**
You won't see through my
method of communication.
**[16:18] Dazai**
Of course I will.
**[16:20] Dazai**
That's why I'm here.
**[16:22] Francis**
Indeed...
**[16:24] Francis**
So the evidence you'd need to prove your
innocence lies with this mushy taro man.
**[16:30] Atsushi**
It's Mushitaro.
**[16:32] Atsushi**
The vehicle transporting
him was found on the road.
**[16:36] Atsushi**
All that was found was an
officer who was shot dead.
**[16:39] Atsushi**
Mushitaro-san's blood was not there.
**[16:42] Atsushi**
The enemy must have abducted him.
**[16:44] Francis**
And you need the Eyes of God to find him.
**[16:50] Francis**
I wouldn't mind.
**[16:51] Francis**
Though, it would come at a price, of course.
**[16:53] Atsushi**
What's your price?
**[16:54] Francis**
You see, I'd like to
bring Margaret back.
**[16:58] Atsushi**
Margaret...
**[16:59] Atsushi**
Your employee?
**[17:01] Francis**
She's currently in a coma.
**[17:04] Francis**
Have the Agency's doctor woman revive her.
**[17:07] Atsushi**
Yosano-san?
**[17:09] Francis**
Margaret is the one person
who can kill Nathaniel.
**[17:14] Francis**
You saw the attack earlier.
**[17:16] Francis**
Nathaniel has become the Rats' pawn,
**[17:19] Francis**
but he still remembers her.
**[17:22] Francis**
His desire to save her has compelled
him to commit incomprehensible acts.
**[17:27] Francis**
We'll take advantage of that.
**[17:29] Atsushi**
But wasn't it because she risked her life
**[17:32] Atsushi**
to protect Nathaniel that
she was critically wounded?
**[17:36] Francis**
Correct.
**[17:37] Atsushi**
You're going to make two people, who tried
to save each other, kill each other?
**[17:41] Francis**
What's wrong with that?
**[17:43] Atsushi**
I'd forgotten...
**[17:44] Atsushi**
You're the man who tried
to crash the Moby Dick
**[17:47] Atsushi**
into the city and take hundreds
of thousands of lives.
**[17:50] Francis**
Again, your point?
**[17:51] Atsushi**
I may have chosen the wrong
person to do business with.
**[17:55] Kyouka**
Are you sure?
**[17:57] Atsushi**
I feel like the president would
admonish me for making such a deal.
**[18:01] Francis**
Have our negotiations failed?
**[18:02] Francis**
Very well.
**[18:04] Francis**
But there's something I want
to show you before you leave.
**[18:12] Francis**
Allow me to introduce her.
**[18:13] Francis**
This is Margaret.
**[18:19] Atsushi**
No...
**[18:22] Atsushi**
This is awful.
**[18:23] Francis**
During the Guild's bankruptcy,
**[18:25] Francis**
she was seen by several abhorrent doctors
and her symptoms worsened.
**[18:31] Francis**
She only agreed to take on
the Guild's dangerous duties
**[18:35] Francis**
to have resources to rebuild her family.
**[18:38] Francis**
At this point, that's a vain dream.
**[18:41] Francis**
If she could speak now,
**[18:45] Francis**
she would ask for her life support
to be terminated immediately,
**[18:47] Francis**
and the money being used for her treatment
sent to her motherland instead.
**[19:02] Atsushi**
All right.
**[19:04] Atsushi**
I'll take your deal.
**[19:08] Kyouka**
Are you really sure about this?
**[19:11] Atsushi**
I'm hopeless.
**[19:12] Atsushi**
Whenever I see someone suffering,
**[19:15] Atsushi**
I see my younger self.
**[19:20] Atsushi**
I can't leave them.
**[19:36] Kyouka**
I think that's a philosophy
that works well for you.
**[19:39] Atsushi**
Let's go.
**[19:42] Atsushi**
*I hope Yosano-san and the others are safe.*
**[19:45] Yosano**
Don't give me that bullshit.
**[19:47] Yosano**
You can't help us prove
the Agency's innocence?
**[19:51] Ougai**
That is correct.
**[19:52] Ougai**
The agreement with Fukuzawa-dono
**[19:54] Ougai**
was that we would only help the Agency
**[19:56] Ougai**
in exchange for transferring one
of its members to the Mafia.
**[20:00] Yosano**
Transfer a member of the Agency?
**[20:02] Yosano**
Do you think you're funny?
**[20:04] Yosano**
All you really want is for me
to join the Mafia, don't you?
**[20:09] Ougai**
That's right. What of it?
**[20:11] Ougai**
Fukuzawa-dono understood that when
he made the agreement with me.
**[20:14] Yosano**
The president would never agree to that.
**[20:19] (Flashback) Ougai**
I accept your request in regards to
protecting the Detective Agency employees.
**[20:23] (Flashback) Ougai**
Though combating the Hunting Dogs
will be quite the daring endeavor,
**[20:27] (Flashback) Ougai**
even for the Port Mafia.
**[20:29] (Flashback) Fukuzawa**
*What are your demands?*
**[20:30] (Flashback) Ougai**
The transfer of an Agency
member to the Port Mafia.
**[20:35] (Flashback) Fukuzawa**
*That's not an easy price to pay.*
**[20:39] (Flashback) Fukuzawa**
*I have one condition.*
**[20:41] (Flashback) Fukuzawa**
You don't request Yosano-kun.
**[20:43] (Flashback) Fukuzawa**
She would never be able to tolerate
being your assistant again.
**[20:48] Ougai**
You're wrong.
**[20:50] Ougai**
Fukuzawa-dono said he would
be willing to give you up.
**[20:58] Hirotsu**
Boss, pardon the interruption.
**[21:02] Hirotsu**
This radio was at the entrance.
**[21:05] Francis**
*Hey, how're you doing, old sport?*
**[21:07] Francis**
*I don't have time. I'll make it quick.*
**[21:10] Francis**
*I sent the lycanthrope boy your way.*
**[21:13] Tanizaki**
Lycanthrope...
**[21:14] Tanizaki**
Atsushi-kun!
**[21:16] Kenji**
He's alive!
**[21:17] Ougai**
What's the reason for his appearance?
**[21:19] Francis**
A transaction.
**[21:20] Francis**
Use the healing ability for me.
**[21:23] Francis**
In exchange, I'll provide information that
will lead to the Agency's restoration.
**[21:26] Francis**
*We'll meet in twenty minutes.*
**[21:28] Francis**
*At Goban Street.*
**[21:30] Kenji**
Information that'll lead to
the Agency's restoration!
**[21:33] Tanizaki**
Now we have some hope.
**[21:34] Ougai**
Odd.
**[21:36] Ougai**
How did he discover this hideout?
**[21:39] Tanizaki**
He must have used his
Eyes of God or whatever, right?
**[21:42] Ougai**
That's the thing.
**[21:44] Ougai**
If he was able to discover this hideout,
**[21:46] Ougai**
he might as well have done business
with the Military Police instead.
**[21:50] Ougai**
It would have been more profitable to
do the formidable Hunting Dogs a favor,
**[21:53] Ougai**
as opposed to the weakened Detective Agency.
**[21:56] Ougai**
The Francis I know always sides with
the stronger, more bullish side.
**[22:03] Ougai**
This transaction may be a trap.

**[02:30] Tanizaki**
Yosano-san, where are you going?
**[02:33] Tanizaki**
To complete the transaction?
**[02:36] Tanizaki**
It might be a trap.
**[02:38] Tanizaki**
Why?
**[02:41] Tanizaki**
Are you that reluctant
to join the Port Mafia?
**[02:49] (Flashback) Yosano**
Don't give me that bullshit!
**[02:50] (Flashback) Yosano**
You can't help us prove
the Agency's innocence?
**[02:54] (Flashback) Ougai**

All you really want is for me

**[03:13] Tanizaki**
In that case, I'll join the Mafia.
**[03:16] Tanizaki**
My ability, Light Snow,
ought to be useful to them.
**[03:21] Tanizaki**
So please, tell me why.
**[03:23] Tanizaki**
What happened between
you and the Mafia boss?
**[03:27] Tanizaki**
Does it have something to
do with the "angel of death"
**[03:31] Tanizaki**
that the Hunting Dogs were talking about?
**[03:36] Yosano**
I guess I shouldn't trouble you any more.
**[03:40] Yosano**
Fine.
**[03:41] Yosano**
I'll tell you as we walk.
**[03:46] Yosano**
A long time ago, the boss and Mori-sensei
**[03:49] Yosano**
were close allies in the
tripartite framework.
**[03:52] Yosano**
Now, though, they're enemies.
**[03:54] Yosano**
Why do you think that is?
**[03:56] Tanizaki**
Come to think of it...

It's because of me.
***SIGN*** Fourteen years ago
Near the end of the great war
**[04:13] Yosano**
An island, Tokoyamijima, appeared
out of nowhere in the Pacific.
**[04:16] Yosano**
An unclaimed island where
it was only ever night,
**[04:21] Yosano**
it became the main battleground
towards the end of the great war.
**[04:24] Yosano**
Electromagnetic waves from the aurora
destroyed electronic equipment,
**[04:28] Yosano**
resulting in pre-modern
close-quarters combat.
**[04:42] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
Don't just lie there, you lousy soldiers!

My eyes are working!
**[05:05] (Flashback) Guy C**
My leg...
**[05:06] (Flashback) Guy C**
I have my leg!
**[05:07] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
You get hurt because you're weak.
**[05:09] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
Get back to the damn front!

Amazing! It's a miracle.
**[05:25] (Flashback) Guy E**
You are our god!
**[05:27] (Flashback) Guy F**
Our savior!
**[05:28] (Flashback) Guy G**
Let us use your likeness as our emblem!
**[05:30] (Flashback) Guy H**
Please! Let us worship you!
**[05:33] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
Go away!
**[05:33] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
Piss off!
**[05:36] (Flashback) Mori**
Are you that enamored with my Yosano-kun?

Ch-Chief Mori...
**[05:42] (Flashback) Guy A**
We would never...
**[05:44] (Flashback) Guy B**
Oh, shit... He's gonna kill us!
**[05:46] (Flashback) Guy C**
He's going to pickle our organs.
**[05:48] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
"Your" Yosano-kun?
**[05:50] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
Since when was I yours, Mori-sensei?
**[05:54] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
I'll bite your ears off.
**[05:56] (Flashback) Mori**
I'm your superior, am I not?
**[05:58] (Flashback) Mori**
I have the right to correct your
attitude and language, too.
**[06:02] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
I don't care about military policy.
**[06:05] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
I was working at a candy
shop until last week,
**[06:08] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
when you dragged me out
here against my will.
**[06:18] (Flashback) Mori**
She's so strong willed...
**[06:19] (Flashback) Mori**
I like!
**[06:28] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
Reading a novel?
Right after you nearly died?
**[06:32] (Flashback) Guy**
It's not a novel.
**[06:34] (Flashback) Guy**
It's a poetry collection.
**[06:37] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
Unbelievable.
**[06:38] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
I'm not telling you to
thank me with tears of joy,
**[06:41] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
but don't you have any intention
of hurrying back to the front,
**[06:45] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
now that you're all better?
**[06:47] (Flashback) Guy**
I thank you, for sure.
**[06:49] (Flashback) Guy**
That's why I want you to have this.
**[06:54] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
My butterfly.
**[06:58] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
*No.*
**[07:00] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
*It's...*
**[07:01] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
*Metal?*
**[07:03] (Flashback) Guy**
Thank you, angel.
**[07:07] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
A-Angel?!
**[07:13] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
But how did you do that just now?
**[07:16] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
Was that your special ability?
**[07:19] (Flashback) Guy**
It's not much of an ability.
**[07:21] (Flashback) Guy**
It's not going to change
the world, like yours can.
**[07:25] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
Me? Change the world?
**[07:26] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
You're joking.
**[07:29] (Flashback) Guy**
There are some things you notice
because you're just a private.
**[07:32] (Flashback) Guy**
The Special Ability Doctrine.
**[07:35] (Flashback) Guy**
The great powers of Europe
that started the Gifted wars
**[07:38] (Flashback) Guy**
are changing the very concept of war.
**[07:40] (Flashback) Guy**
If we are to prevail, we must prove this
to the military brass as fast as possible.
**[07:47] (Flashback) Guy**
That's why Chief Mori
brought you into the unit.
**[07:53] (Flashback) Guy**
Isn't that right, Chief Mori?
**[07:57] (Flashback) Mori**
I see you've read my
Immortal Regiment paper.
**[08:02] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
What are you talking about?!
**[08:04] (Flashback) Mori**
I was certain that was a
classified military document.
**[08:07] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
Military brass? Immortal?
What the hell are you talking about?
**[08:10] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
I just came here to save people's lives!
**[08:13] (Flashback) Mori**
Let's go, Yosano.
**[08:15] (Flashback) Mori**
There are more patients waiting.
**[08:18] (Flashback) Mori**
Elise-chan, the next chart, please.
**[08:22] (Flashback) Elise**
Yes, master.
**[08:28] (Flashback) Soldier B**
Dammit...
**[08:29] (Flashback) Soldier B**
Those assholes have set up camp so close.
**[08:32] (Flashback) Soldier B**
They don't think we're a threat.
**[08:34] (Flashback) Soldier C**
I hate to admit it, but we aren't.
**[08:36] (Flashback) Soldier C**
We don't even have weapons
that can reach that far.
**[08:39] (Flashback) Soldier D**
We're way outgunned and outnumbered.
**[08:43] (Flashback) Soldier D**
Unless something changes...
**[08:45] (Flashback) Soldier A**
We'll take them down!
**[08:46] (Flashback) Soldier A**
We have an angel on our side.
**[08:49] (Flashback) Soldier C**
You're right.
**[08:58] (Flashback) Soldier**
Shit!
**[09:00] (Flashback) Soldier**
Everyone, get down!
**[09:27] (Flashback) Soldier**
I have my right arm.
**[09:29] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
Are you feeling all right?
**[09:38] (Flashback) Soldier**
You look pretty exhausted yourself.
**[09:40] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
Of course I do.
**[09:42] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
I treated 80 people all at once.
**[09:45] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
The worst one had half his body blown off.
**[09:49] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
I could heal his wounds with my ability,
but I couldn't heal his mind.
**[09:54] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
He can't even say his name.
**[09:57] (Flashback) Soldier**
What about everyone else?
**[09:58] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
The ones who didn't die
went back to the front.
**[10:01] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
They're lacking men.
**[10:06] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
"Angel," my ass.
**[10:08] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
I'm basically healing them
just for them to die again.
**[10:12] (Flashback) Soldier**
You're wrong.
**[10:19] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
What's that?
**[10:20] (Flashback) Soldier**
I'm keeping count.
**[10:23] (Flashback) Soldier**
Of the number of times you've saved my life.
**[10:26] (Flashback) Soldier**
Today makes the fifth time.
**[10:28] (Flashback) Soldier**
I happen to like tallying with
the character for "true."
**[10:32] (Flashback) Soldier**
Every time I count something
and I finish writing "true,"
**[10:36] (Flashback) Soldier**
I get the sense that something
*just* was created in the world.
**[10:40] (Flashback) Soldier**
This is your justness.
**[10:42] (Flashback) Soldier**
If it weren't for you,
**[10:44] (Flashback) Soldier**
I would never have had a chance to
meet my parents and brother again.
**[10:48] (Flashback) Soldier**
I'm glad you're here.
**[10:54] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
Thanks.
**[10:56] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
Actually, I...
**[10:59] (Flashback) Senior Officer A**
Hey, private first-class!
**[11:01] (Flashback) Senior Officer A**
The front is in a dire situation.
**[11:03] (Flashback) Senior Officer A**
You're all better, so get back out there!
**[11:05] (Flashback) Soldier**
Yes, sir.
**[11:12] Yosano**
But as if to laugh in the face of our efforts,
the situation continued to worsen.
**[11:20] Yosano**
I was treating soldiers
once every three days.
**[11:24] Yosano**
Then once every day.
**[11:26] Yosano**
Soon, three times a day.
**[11:29] Yosano**
It was no longer correct
to even call it a war.
**[11:34] Yosano**
We were just standing there,
being brutalized.
**[11:37] Yosano**
A normal unit would have given
up and retreated long ago,
**[11:42] Yosano**
but that never happened.
**[11:45] Yosano**
Because I was there.
**[11:48] (Flashback) Soldier F**
It hurts... It hurts...
**[11:50] (Flashback) Soldier G**
My leg... My leg!
**[11:53] (Flashback) Soldier H**
I can't fight anymore...
**[11:54] (Flashback) Soldier H**
Spare me...
**[11:55] (Flashback) Soldier I**
No more...
**[11:56] (Flashback) Soldier I**
I don't want to go to the front anymore...
**[11:59] (Flashback) Mori**
That's a fracture of the right radius.
**[12:03] (Flashback) Mori**
Treatment.
**[12:04] (Flashback) Soldier**
Dad... Mom...
**[12:07] (Flashback) Soldier**
I'll be home soon...
**[12:12] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
I don't want to fix them.
**[12:14] (Flashback) Mori**
You're going to abandon his wounds?
**[12:16] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
Yeah. That's right.
**[12:18] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
Let him fall back and get
treatment on his own!
**[12:22] (Flashback) Mori**
I see.
**[12:24] (Flashback) Mori**
You want to free him from the battlefield.
**[12:29] (Flashback) Mori**
What a conundrum.
**[12:31] (Flashback) Mori**
I'm obliged to give you orders,
**[12:35] (Flashback) Mori**
but I have a hard time saying
no to a girl's wishes...
**[12:38] (Flashback) Mori**
Not yours, though.
**[12:40] (Flashback) Mori**
Do it.
**[12:43] (Flashback) Mori**
You know of the samurai, don't you?
**[12:46] (Flashback) Mori**
They failed to understand war by
gun and cannon, and perished.
**[12:52] (Flashback) Mori**
In the war after, the nation that recognized
tanks as beasts that could ravage
**[12:56] (Flashback) Mori**
enemy territory, not as simple turrets,
massacred the enemy.
**[13:02] (Flashback) Mori**
In naval battles, the nation
that failed to realize
**[13:05] (Flashback) Mori**
that planes would be the masters
of the sea was the one to fall.
**[13:08] (Flashback) Mori**
And now, special abilities are changing war.
**[13:12] (Flashback) Mori**
Your role is to make the
military understand change.
**[13:16] (Flashback) Mori**
Do it.
**[13:17] (Flashback) Mori**
Or else the nation will fall.
**[13:19] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
I refuse!
**[13:20] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
I just want to save the
lives in front of me!
**[13:27] (Flashback) Mori**
Very well.
**[13:34] (Flashback) Mori**
There.
**[13:35] (Flashback) Mori**
He's dying.
**[13:37] (Flashback) Mori**
Fix him.
**[13:44] Yosano**
No one could leave the battlefield.
**[13:49] Yosano**
The soldier who drew a picture of me,
**[13:52] Yosano**
the soldier who pat my head,
saying I reminded him of his sister,
**[13:55] Yosano**
the soldier who made me delicious coffee...
**[13:58] Yosano**
They all died.
**[14:00] Yosano**
If it weren't for me, they could
have left with mere injuries.
**[14:06] Yosano**
Do you know the word "annihilation"?
**[14:09] Yosano**
It's used when half of a
unit is incapacitated.
**[14:13] Yosano**
Not when half of the unit is *dead*.
**[14:16] Yosano**
In other words, if half of an army is hurt,
it retreats and the battle ends.
**[14:22] Yosano**
But as long as I was there,
there was no retreat.
**[14:25] Yosano**
That's why they couldn't lose.
**[14:28] Yosano**
To lose is a human right,
**[14:30] Yosano**
but I took that from them.
**[14:34] Yosano**
Deprived of the ability to lose,
there's only one place a military can go.
**[14:39] (Flashback) Soldier F**
Stop him!
**[14:40] (Flashback) Soldier G**
Take his dagger!
**[14:41] (Flashback) Soldier H**
Everyone's going to die
because of that bitch!
**[14:43] (Flashback) Soldier H**
This isn't a war!
**[14:46] (Flashback) Soldier H**
Let me go, asshole!
**[14:47] (Flashback) Soldier H**
Let me go! Let me go!
**[14:51] (Flashback) Yosano**
It happened on the day a soldier
I was close to tried to kill me.
**[15:04] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
My hair ornament's missing.
**[15:07] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
I must have dropped it somewhere.
**[15:10] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
I can't lose it after he gave it to me.
**[15:13] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
I have to find it.
**[15:16] (Flashback) Soldier**
Yosano-san,
**[15:18] (Flashback) Soldier**
I'd like to ask you to deliver a message.
**[15:21] (Flashback) Yosano (young)**
That voice...
**[15:23] (Flashback) Soldier**
I promised I'd endure...
**[15:25] (Flashback) Soldier**
But your ability, the justness
of it, has taught me...
**[15:30] (Flashback) Soldier**
Everyone has their limits.
**[15:34] (Flashback) Soldier**
Remember how I called you an angel?
**[15:38] (Flashback) Soldier**
You're more than that.
**[15:41] (Flashback) Soldier**
You've descended on the battlefield
**[15:43] (Flashback) Soldier**
as an angel of death.
**[15:46] (Flashback) Soldier**
Please tell my family that I said goodbye.

**[16:43] Yosano**
My memory after that
point is honestly vague.
**[16:48] Yosano**
From what I've heard,
**[16:49] Yosano**
I was arrested for setting explosives
to try to blow up the carrier.
**[16:55] Yosano**
Even after the war, I was kept
in isolation in a facility.
**[16:59] Yosano**
Not that I imagine I would have left,
even if the door was open.
**[17:04] Tanizaki**
So it was the Agency that rescued you?
**[17:09] Yosano**
If only that were the case.
**[17:12] Yosano**
It was the worst person imaginable who did.
**[17:16] Yosano**
It was three years after the war ended.
**[17:29] (Flashback) Mori**
I finally found you.
**[17:36] (Flashback) Mori**
I need your ability again.
**[17:49] (Flashback) Fukuzawa**
You would drag her back into hell again?!
**[17:52] (Flashback) Fukuzawa**
Are you playing the part
of a devil, Mori-sensei?!
**[17:55] (Flashback) Mori**
She is the very pillar of the
tripartite framework, of the city's peace.
**[18:00] (Flashback) Mori**
An immortal army, led by Yosano-kun,
**[18:03] (Flashback) Mori**
is best suited to defeating
the formidable Port Mafia boss!
**[18:09] (Flashback) Fukuzawa**
"Best suited," my ass!
**[18:11] (Flashback) Fukuzawa**
Your reasoning lacks humanity!
**[18:14] (Flashback) Mori**
Humanity?!
**[18:16] (Flashback) Mori**
War is a game in which the first to
take humanity into account loses!
**[18:20] (Flashback) Fukuzawa**
Then our alliance ends today!
**[18:24] (Flashback) Mori**
In fact, it's your life that ends today!
**[18:34] (Flashback) Rampo**
Sheesh, nasty.
**[18:36] (Flashback) Rampo**
Grown-up fights are always so pompous.
**[18:40] (Flashback) Rampo**
Oh, this?
**[18:42] (Flashback) Rampo**
I'm freeing you while the boss is fighting.
**[18:45] (Flashback) Rampo**
That's the plan.
**[18:47] (Flashback) Yosano**
Take me back.
**[18:50] (Flashback) Yosano**
Take me back.
**[18:51] (Flashback) Yosano**
I can't go outside.
**[18:54] (Flashback) Rampo**
Why not?
**[18:55] (Flashback) Yosano**
My special ability makes
it too easy to save lives.
**[19:00] (Flashback) Yosano**
I make the lives of everyone
around me seem cheap.
**[19:04] (Flashback) Yosano**
I can't be allowed to live.
**[19:09] (Flashback) Rampo**
That's so stupid.
**[19:11] (Flashback) Rampo**
I don't give a crap.
**[19:14] (Flashback) Rampo**
Why don't you give up using
your special ability, then?
**[19:17] (Flashback) Yosano**
If I could do that...
**[19:19] (Flashback) Rampo**
You're saying you can't?
**[19:21] (Flashback) Rampo**
Why not?
**[19:22] (Flashback) Rampo**
Because you have a crazy healing ability?
**[19:25] (Flashback) Rampo**
Because everyone tried to use your ability?
**[19:30] (Flashback) Rampo**
Nope.
**[19:31] (Flashback) Rampo**
My superhuman deduction is the
best special ability in the world.
**[19:34] (Flashback) Rampo**
No other ability matters.
**[19:37] (Flashback) Rampo**
With me on your side,
I can solve all your problems!
**[19:41] (Flashback) Rampo**
If you doubt my abilities,
I can prove it to you.
**[19:57] (Flashback) Yosano**
It's...
**[19:59] (Flashback) Yosano**
How?
**[20:01] (Flashback) Yosano**
I never told anyone about this!
**[20:04] (Flashback) Rampo**
I found it on an old carrier.
**[20:07] (Flashback) Rampo**
See?
**[20:08] (Flashback) Rampo**
I know everything.
**[20:10] (Flashback) Rampo**
Try asking me a question.
**[20:12] (Flashback) Rampo**
I'll answer anything..
**[20:15] (Flashback) Yosano**
Then... What should I do now?
**[20:20] (Flashback) Yosano**
The people I cared about died because of me.
**[20:23] (Flashback) Yosano**
That's how it's always going to be.
**[20:26] (Flashback) Yosano**
There will always be people who want
to use my ability against my will.
***SIGN*** You are too just
***SIGN*** You are too just
**[20:32] (Flashback) Yosano**
Is there really anywhere
I can be allowed to live?
**[20:36] (Flashback) Rampo**
There is.
**[20:40] (Flashback) Rampo**
There's just one place in the
world that doesn't need you.
**[20:46] (Flashback) Rampo**
Join the Armed Detective Agency.
**[20:49] (Flashback) Rampo**
We don't want your special ability.
**[20:52] (Flashback) Rampo**
We want that kindness of yours.
**[20:54] (Flashback) Rampo**
You didn't want anyone to die, did you?
**[20:57] (Flashback) Rampo**
That's why you're in so much pain.
**[21:00] (Flashback) Rampo**
I want to invite you because
you have such kindness.
**[21:04] (Flashback) Rampo**
I don't care about your ability.
**[21:06] (Flashback) Rampo**
It's your kindness that means something.
**[21:21] Tanizaki**
Yosano-san, what's wrong?
**[21:26] Yosano**
Nothing.
**[21:29] Yosano**
Let's go.
**[21:30] Yosano**
The transaction takes place
through the door.
**[21:35] Yosano**
I'm saving the Agency, no matter what.
**[21:39] (Flashback) Rampo**
There's just one place in the
world that doesn't need you.
**[21:50] Yosano**
* The Agency is the one place in the*
* world where I can be allowed to live.*

***SIGN*** Unbeknownst to all...
**[00:07] Tanizaki**
The transaction supposed
to happen just up ahead.
**[00:10] Tanizaki**
We have to hurry,
before the Port Mafia notice.
**[00:13] Tachihara**
Dammit, you old geezer, why?
**[00:16] Tachihara**
Just kill the freaking detectives.
**[00:18] Yosano**
*They got here ahead of us.*
**[00:20] Tachihara**
Remember what the boss said?
**[00:22] Tachihara**
Francis might be with the military police,
so don't go near their business.
**[00:26] Tachihara**
Yet they ignored the boss's orders
and went off on their own.
**[00:29] Tachihara**
They're disrespecting the boss!
**[00:32] Hirotsu**
Looks like you can't let go of your
old gangster habits, Tachihara.
**[00:35] Hirotsu**
The Port Mafia's actions are not determined
by whether or not there is disrespect,
**[00:39] Hirotsu**
but by whether they are
faithful to the boss's wishes.
**[00:43] Hirotsu**
Don't let anyone hurt the Agency.
**[00:46] Hirotsu**
Protect them with your life.
**[00:48] Hirotsu**
That is the order we were given.
**[00:51] Hirotsu**
In other words, the boss knew they were
about to engage in dangerous business.
**[00:55] Yosano**
*Mori-sensei knew that?*
**[00:57] Hirotsu**
There you have it, detectives.
**[01:02] Yosano**
That Mori-sensei sure is
a worrywart, isn't he?
**[01:06] Yosano**
He doesn't need to worry.
**[01:08] Yosano**
Your deal with Francis isn't a trap.
**[01:11] Hirotsu**
Oh?
**[01:11] Hirotsu**
How are you so sure?
**[01:12] Yosano**
Atsushi believes him.
**[01:15] Yosano**
Atsushi fought with him
previously on the Moby Dick.
**[01:26] Yosano**
Once you've bared your soul to someone
by trading mortal blows with them,
**[01:30] Yosano**
they won't be fooled by your lies.
**[01:33] Kyouka**
We're almost at the transaction site.
**[01:35] Atsushi**
Yeah.
**[01:36] Atsushi**
Here we go.
**[01:38] Atsushi**
We finally have hope of saving the Agency,
**[01:41] Atsushi**
but that's not all.
**[01:43] Atsushi**
The Agency shows its real strength when
it's together, not when it's spread out.
**[01:47] Kyouka**
Yeah.
**[01:51] Atsushi**
I can't wait to meet the others.
**[01:57] Kenji**
The car's here!
**[01:59] Kenji**
We've been waiting for you! Atsushi-san!
**[02:06] Yosano**
Kenji!
**[02:07] Military Police A**
Don't move!
**[02:11] Military Police A**
Targets surrounded!
**[02:12] Military Police A**
Now capturing the suspects!
**[02:15] Yosano**
*Shit...*
**[02:16] Yosano**
*I hope this isn't what I think...*
**[02:18] Tanizaki**
Kenji-kun!
**[02:24] Tanizaki**
*What the hell?*
**[02:25] Tanizaki**
*An enemy ability?*
**[02:27] Tanizaki**
*The ornamentation on that saber...*
**[02:29] Tanizaki**
The Hunting Dogs!
**[02:30] Hirotsu**
Everyone, run!
**[02:31] Hirotsu**
The transaction was a trap!
**[02:33] Hirotsu**
Francis has sided with the enemy!
**[02:35] Yosano**
Damn it.
**[04:09] Louisa**
Francis-sama, may I ask you something?
**[04:12] Francis**
What is it?
**[04:14] Louisa**
Of the 78 strategy proposals I wrote,
**[04:18] Louisa**
74 involved selling the Agency members'
location to the government.
**[04:22] Louisa**
It would be a good opportunity to make up
for having crashed the Moby Dick.
**[04:29] Louisa**
Why didn't you make a deal
with the military police?
**[04:33] Francis**
Louisa-kun...
**[04:35] Francis**
Do you remember the time when
we were reunited on the streets?
**[04:39] Louisa**
I would never forget.
**[04:41] Francis**
Me, neither.
**[04:43] Francis**
Everything I ate tasted like sand.
**[04:47] Francis**
Even breathing was laborious.
**[04:50] Francis**
Despair takes away a person's
ability to get back up on their feet.
**[04:53] Francis**
For the several months, until you came along,
**[04:55] Francis**
I hadn't even thought of
rebuilding the organization.
**[04:59] Francis**
But the Agency got back up within an hour,
**[05:03] Francis**
and now they're fighting for their lives.
**[05:07] Francis**
I always side with the winners.
**[05:10] Francis**
And, in this fight, the Agency will win.
**[05:17] Francis**
Therefore, I will side with the Agency.

**[05:28] Tachihara**
Dammit, they're all over the place.
**[05:30] Tachihara**
Squad A, Squad B, advance.
**[05:33] Tachihara**
Squad C, deploy thermal scopes.
**[05:35] Tachihara**
Don't let the one with the
illusion ability escape!
**[05:37] Yosano**
Kenji!
**[05:39] Kenji**
I'm all right.
**[05:41] Kenji**
This is nothing.
**[05:45] Yosano**
*A raincoat?*
**[05:47] Yosano**
*It's not even raining.*
**[05:50] Yosano**
*Something feels off.*
**[06:03] Yosano**
Kenji!
**[06:09] Tachihara**
I can't get the sword out!
**[06:11] Hirotsu**
Move!
**[06:23] Hirotsu**
Everyone!
**[06:25] Hirotsu**
We're escaping into a secret
Port Mafia escape route.
**[06:28] Hirotsu**
Come.
**[06:30] Jouno**
Understood.
**[06:36] Jouno**
The squads on the ground have
requested that we move out.
**[06:42] Fukuchi**
Wanna?
**[06:55] Yosano**
Let me see!
**[06:56] Yosano**
I'll fix him.
**[06:58] Tachihara**
I told you.
**[07:00] Tachihara**
It was a trap.
**[07:02] Yosano**
It appears so.
**[07:07] Yosano**
*But something still seems off.*
**[07:11] Kenji**
Yosano-san...
**[07:13] Kenji**
Thank you very much.
**[07:14] Kenji**
You've saved me.
**[07:19] Hirotsu**
The Port Mafia's armed
forces are returning fire,
**[07:22] Hirotsu**
but their defenses are falling apart.
**[07:25] Hirotsu**
If the five Hunting Dogs come,
this escape route will be destroyed, as well.
**[07:29] Yosano**
No.
**[07:31] Yosano**
I suspect one of them is already here.
**[07:33] Yosano**
That saber...
**[07:35] Yosano**
It belonged to the Hunting Dogs.
**[07:37] Hirotsu**
I'm told that the Hunting Dogs
have superhuman physical prowess
**[07:40] Hirotsu**
as well as exceptionally
powerful special abilities.
**[07:44] Hirotsu**
Each of them has the military power
of a thousand special forces soldiers.
**[07:49] Tanizaki**
A thousand?!
**[07:50] Tanizaki**
They're freaks!
**[07:52] Tanizaki**
And there are five of them?!
**[07:59] Yosano**
Tanizaki, Kenji...
**[08:01] Yosano**
We need to talk.
**[08:04] Yosano**
Let's split up and run.
**[08:06] Kenji**
We can't!
**[08:07] Kenji**
We have to stick together!
**[08:09] Yosano**
I know that.
**[08:10] Yosano**
But right now, only one of
the Hunting Dogs after us.
**[08:13] Yosano**
If we split up, two of us will be saved.
**[08:17] Yosano**
Mori-sensei mentioned a hideout for us
and a designated vehicle for reaching it.
**[08:24] Yosano**
Have they been prepared for us?
**[08:26] Hirotsu**
They have.
**[08:27] Yosano**
Good.
**[08:29] Yosano**
Make me a promise:
**[08:31] Yosano**
whoever survives will put their
lives on the line to rebuild the Agency.
**[08:38] Tanizaki**
Of course.
**[08:40] Kenji**
Let's do it.
**[08:47] Hirotsu**
You're about to enter a complex maze.
**[08:50] Hirotsu**
Use this map to reach your escape vehicles.
**[09:08] Atsushi**
Please stop.
**[09:13] Kyouka**
What's wrong?
**[09:14] Atsushi**
I hear fighting.
**[09:15] Atsushi**
Lots of gunshots and combat boots.
**[09:18] Atsushi**
And familiar footsteps from underground.
**[09:23] Atsushi**
Wasn't there a secret Port Mafia
passage in this area?
**[09:38] Yosano**
Atsushi!
**[09:39] Yosano**
Kyouka!
**[09:40] Atsushi**
Yosano-san!
**[09:43] Yosano**
Special Ability: Thou Shalt Not Die.
***SIGN*** Thou Shalt Not Die
**[09:52] Atsushi**
Francis betrayed us?
**[09:54] Yosano**
The transaction was a trap.
**[09:56] Yosano**
I thought you two were both
blown up with the car.
**[10:00] Atsushi**
That's impossible.
**[10:02] Atsushi**
Francis is arrogant, but he
looks after his employees.
**[10:05] Atsushi**
Even if he was going to frame the Agency,
**[10:07] Atsushi**
he would only do it after
Margaret-san's treatment.
**[10:10] Yosano**
*Good point.*
**[10:12] Yosano**
* So how did the military police find out*
* where the transaction was taking place?*
**[10:17] Atsushi**
Let's get out of here first.
**[10:19] Atsushi**
Driver, please...
**[10:23] Atsushi**
Ambush!
**[10:24] Atsushi**
Everyone, get out!
**[10:27] Yosano**
It's him.
**[10:36] Yosano**
Go, Atsushi.
**[10:37] Yosano**
I'll deal with him.
**[10:39] Atsushi**
But...
**[10:40] Atsushi**
The three of us together might
stand a chance of winning.
**[10:43] Yosano**
Winning isn't important.
**[10:45] Yosano**
What's important is protecting Margaret.
**[10:48] Yosano**
She's already been treated.
**[10:49] Yosano**
Deliver her to Francis before the
military police close the roads.
**[10:53] Yosano**
That's our only hope for reviving
the Armed Detective Agency.
**[10:58] Kyouka**
I'll drive.
**[11:00] Yosano**
Don't worry.
**[11:02] Yosano**
I'm not good at dying.
**[11:07] Atsushi**
Please be safe.
**[11:12] Atsushi**
Now, then...
**[11:14] Atsushi**
First off, may I get a look at your face?
**[11:28] (Flashback) Soldier**
Your ability, the justness of it,
has taught me...
***SIGN*** You are too just

**[11:48] Tachihara**
Stay back, you dumb shits!
**[11:50] Tachihara**
Freaking hell, it's tough.
**[11:51] Yosano**
Why are you lot here?
**[11:53] Tachihara**
The boss's orders are absolute.
**[12:01] Tachihara**
Old man, look out!
**[12:05] Hirotsu**
My life of evil is little
more than a clown show.
**[12:09] Hirotsu**
Thus I have no intention of making
way for your pretense of justice.
***SIGN*** Falling Camellia
**[12:15] Hirotsu**
Special ability: Falling Camellia.
**[12:29] Tachihara**
Wow...
**[12:30] Hirotsu**
The escape boat is in the
underground drain ahead.
**[12:41] Hirotsu**
Go!
**[12:44] Hirotsu**
I can't hold him off for long.
**[12:46] Yosano**
But...
**[12:48] Hirotsu**
Go!
**[12:51] Tachihara**
We're going!
**[12:53] Tachihara**
Don't let his efforts go to waste!
**[13:03] Hirotsu**
May my soul forever be with the Port Mafia.
**[13:28] Yosano**
*The character for "true"...*
**[13:42] Tachihara**
Only the Port Mafia can
unlock this blast door.
**[13:46] Yosano**
I'm not so sure.
**[13:47] Tachihara**
You...
**[13:49] Tachihara**
You seem to know about that Gifted.
**[13:52] Yosano**
*The Hunting Dogs are military veterans.*
**[13:55] Yosano**
*And that ability to manipulate metal...*
**[13:59] (Flashback) Jouno**
Besides, she's an angel of death.
**[14:01] (Flashback) Jouno**
The world's better off without her.
**[14:04] Yosano**
*If that man is a Hunting Dog,*
**[14:06] Yosano**
* it would make sense that they know*
* about the name "angel of death."*
**[14:12] Yosano**
*But...*
**[14:15] Yosano**
*That man was most certainly dead.*
**[14:19] Yosano**
* I tried so many times to bring him back.*
* I know better than anyone.*
**[14:28] Tachihara**
That should do it.
**[14:29] Tachihara**
Even if the enemy uses a
special ability to open the door,
**[14:32] Tachihara**
this proximity bomb will
blow their heads off.
**[14:35] Tachihara**
Even a Hunting Dog would be dead instantly.
**[14:38] Gin**
I've checked the waterway bulkheads, as well.
**[14:42] Gin**
We're safe here.
**[14:47] Yosano**
You two escape by boat.
**[14:50] Yosano**
I'll stay here.
**[14:51] Tachihara**
What?!
**[14:53] Yosano**
That man is only trying
to get revenge on me.
**[14:55] Yosano**
I can't let any more lives
be lost because of me.
**[14:59] Tachihara**
Are you dissing us?
**[15:02] Tachihara**
We wouldn't be in the Port Mafia
if we were such wimps.
**[15:07] Tachihara**
I have a badass older brother.
**[15:11] Tachihara**
I hated being compared to him.
**[15:14] Tachihara**
I turned to crime so that I could
go in the opposite direction.
**[15:16] Tachihara**
But fighting and doing bad shit never
relieved me of this indescribable agony.
**[15:23] Tachihara**
Then, one day...
**[15:26] Tachihara**
I was caught breaking into a safe
owned by some serious crooks.
**[15:30] Tachihara**
They told me they'd spare my life,
but I'd have to be a grunt for them.
**[15:36] Tachihara**
Work was fun, as strange as that is to say.
**[15:40] Tachihara**
When I was fighting as part
of a powerful organization,
**[15:43] Tachihara**
I was neither my brother nor his
opposite, but someone else entirely.
**[15:50] Tachihara**
The orders made me who I am.
**[15:52] Tachihara**
So, if my orders kill me today,
I would have no regrets.
**[15:57] Gin**
Tachihara...
**[16:00] Tachihara**
What is it, Gin?
**[16:01] Tachihara**
Did my story move you?
**[16:06] Yosano**
Hey!
**[16:12] Gin**
Run!
**[16:13] Gin**
I can't control the sword!
**[16:28] Yosano**
Impossible...
**[16:29] Yosano**
The door wasn't opened and
the bomb never went off.
**[16:31] Yosano**
How...?
**[16:41] Yosano**
You finally became someone when
you joined the organization...
**[16:46] Yosano**
I get you.
**[16:49] Yosano**
Come on!
**[16:50] Yosano**
You wretched ghost of the past...
**[16:53] Yosano**
I, Yosano Akiko, will wreck you!
**[16:58] Fyodor**
Do you know the fifth member
of the Hunting Dogs?
**[17:01] Dazai**
That came out of nowhere.
**[17:05] Dazai**
The answer is no.
**[17:08] Dazai**
I couldn't find anything about him,
no matter how hard I tried.
**[17:11] Fyodor**
The fifth member of the Hunting Dogs...
**[17:15] Fyodor**
Master of metals and
executioner of the shadows...
**[17:18] Fyodor**
A man who has an old, fateful connection
with the Armed Detective Agency.
**[17:23] Fyodor**
How many of the Agency
members will survive against him?
**[17:45] Yosano**
*Did he stop the bullets?*
**[17:47] Yosano**
* His ability to control metals is way*
* more powerful than it used to be.*
**[17:51] Yosano**
* Whether it's a gun or a sword,*
* all weapons are his to control.*
**[17:55] Yosano**
*I have no way of attacking him.*
**[18:20] Yosano**
Today's a good day.
**[18:23] Yosano**
The president and Rampo-san both
forgave me despite knowing my sins.
**[18:28] Yosano**
I was the one who couldn't forgive myself.
**[18:31] Yosano**
But today, you came to take revenge on me.
**[18:35] Yosano**
Thanks to you, I'm no longer lonely!
**[18:51] Yosano**
That won't work!
**[18:58] Yosano**
You can't stop an explosion
with your ability, can you?
**[19:03] Yosano**
I'll save the Agency and
accept my punishment!
**[19:17] Yosano**
What...
**[19:18] Yosano**
It's not a bomb!
**[19:23] Yosano**
A metal mannequin?
**[19:26] Yosano**
Was the enemy never even here?
**[19:28] Yosano**
*No...*
**[19:29] Yosano**
* He couldn't have fought the*
* way he did without seeing me.*
**[19:33] Yosano**
* So the enemy's been watching*
* from close by the whole time.*
**[19:37] Yosano**
*Hold on...*
**[19:38] Yosano**
*I remember this mannequin.*
**[19:44] Yosano**
*It's the one I saw earlier.*
**[20:05] Jouno**
Good work.
**[20:11] Yosano**
Hunting Dogs!
**[20:14] Yosano**
*Suddenly, I understand*
**[20:16] Yosano**
* how they were able to follow me*
* so accurately through the maze*
**[20:19] Yosano**
*of this underground Port Mafia passage.*
**[20:22] Yosano**
*And how the enemy passed through the door.*
**[20:26] Yosano**
*And why the bomb was a fake.*
**[20:29] Yosano**
*There's only one possible answer.*
**[20:38] Jouno**
As a former medic who knew
numerous military secrets,
**[20:42] Jouno**
Mori Ougai was a dangerous man.
**[20:45] Jouno**
I never would have expected that the
undercover agent we sent to watch him
**[20:49] Jouno**
would prove so useful.
**[20:53] Yosano**
You had to work as a grunt for
some serious crooks, you said?
**[20:57] Yosano**
I thought you were talking
about the Port Mafia.
**[21:03] Tachihara**
Nope.
**[21:06] Tachihara**
I'm the fifth Hunting Dog.
**[21:09] Tachihara**
Undercover agent Tachihara Michizou.
**[21:13] Tachihara**
And the soldier you killed fourteen
years ago was my older brother.
**[21:21] Yosano**
Your brother...
**[21:24] (Flashback) Soldier**
If it weren't for you,
**[21:26] (Flashback) Soldier**
I would never have had a chance to
meet my parents and brother again.
**[21:30] Tachihara**
Because Sakaguchi, the previous agent, left,
**[21:34] Tachihara**
the military police decided to send
another agent into the Port Mafia.
**[21:37] Tachihara**
But I asked for it specifically.
**[21:40] Tachihara**
I was sure I could get close
to you if I was in the Mafia.
**[21:45] Yosano**
Revenge for your brother.
**[21:49] Yosano**
I see.
**[21:51] Yosano**
Today is truly a good day.
**[21:55] Yosano**
Do as you wish.

***SIGN*** Dear Yokomizo-dono
**[00:00] Mushitaro**
*Dear Yokomizo-dono,*
**[00:04] Mushitaro**
*How is it in the afterlife?*
**[00:06] Mushitaro**
* Knowing you, I suspect*
* you're looking for ways*
**[00:11] Mushitaro**
* to manipulate divine powers*
* into allowing you an escape.*
**[00:14] Mushitaro**
* I bet you're jealous of my*
* lavish lifestyle right now.*
**[00:19] Mushitaro**
*No, I'm not lying.*
**[00:21] Mushitaro**
*The meals are extravagant and exquisite.*
**[00:23] Guard**
Meal time!
**[00:28] Mushitaro**
Thank you.
**[00:30] Mushitaro**
*And even the Celtic god Ruad Rofhessa*
**[00:32] Mushitaro**
* would envy the freedom afforded*
* to me during my reading times.*
**[00:35] Mushitaro**
You, guard.
**[00:38] Mushitaro**
I wish to read books on occultism.
**[00:40] Mushitaro**
Take me to the library.
**[00:41] Guard**
You aren't allowed to leave.
**[00:43] Mushitaro**
At least lend me a book, then.
**[00:47] Mushitaro**
If the rinse cycle does not occur
during the washing process, see page 8.
**[00:52] Mushitaro**
* I get to read books that*
* I rarely do otherwise.*
**[00:57] Mushitaro**
*I never even think about the fact*
**[01:00] Mushitaro**
*that you no longer exist in this world.*
**[01:20] Mushitaro**
*Oh, Yokomizo...*
**[01:22] Mushitaro**
*Unlike the fool that you are,*
**[01:22] Kyouka**
Infiltration successful.
**[01:24] Atsushi**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[01:24] Mushitaro**
* I am able to maintain my composure*
* and grace during this crisis.*
**[01:25] Kyouka**
Are you all right?
**[01:26] Atsushi**
I think so.
**[01:28] Mushitaro**
Sech stempel schrecken
geht durch mein gebein!
**[01:36] Atsushi**
Um... We're the Armed Detective Agency.
**[01:39] Atsushi**
We're here to help you.
**[03:16] Atsushi**
The Detective Agency's been framed
by the Decay of Angels.
**[03:20] Atsushi**
You were captured by the enemy
trying to warn us about their trap.
**[03:25] Atsushi**
We used the Eyes of God to find you
here so that we can get you out.
**[03:31] Atsushi**
Kyouka-chan, have you dealt
with the guards outside?
**[03:34] Kyouka**
Demon Snow knocked them out.
**[03:38] Atsushi**
Mushitaro-san, let's escape together.
**[03:41] Mushitaro**
I refuse.
**[03:43] Mushitaro**
You just want me for my knowledge
of the Decay of Angels, don't you?
**[03:47] Mushitaro**
But I have no need for you lot.
**[03:50] Atsushi**
But...
**[03:51] Atsushi**
Don't you want to leave?
**[03:53] Mushitaro**
I'm used to being locked up.
**[03:56] Mushitaro**
Besides, there's nothing for me
in the outside world anymore.
**[04:01] Mushitaro**
Even if I leave, he's not...
**[04:06] Kyouka**
The manuscript.
**[04:08] Kyouka**
Rampo-san told me that you wouldn't
be able to resist that word.
**[04:13] (Flashback) Rampo**
It's enough to publicize the
truth behind this manuscript.
**[04:18] Mushitaro**
Is that a threat?
**[04:20] Mushitaro**
You've become a true criminal
organization now, haven't you?
**[04:25] Kyouka**
That may be.
**[04:27] Kyouka**
I'll become anything, if it's to
save the Armed Detective Agency.
**[04:34] Mushitaro**
Then you're aware that what you're doing
right now is tantamount to bank robbery.
**[04:41] Mushitaro**
We're inside a government bank.
**[04:43] Mushitaro**
Breaking in, by itself, is a serious crime.
**[04:48] Mushitaro**
Ah, whatever.
**[04:50] Mushitaro**
I'll do as you say.
**[04:53] Atsushi**
You will?!
**[04:54] Atsushi**
Thank you!
**[04:58] Kyouka**
The escape route is this way.
**[05:01] Mushitaro**
*The manuscript?!*
**[05:06] Mushitaro**
* That was the last remnant of Yokomizo's life,*
* that he entrusted me with.*
**[05:11] Mushitaro**
*How dare they use it against me!*
**[05:14] Mushitaro**
*Wretched bastards!*
**[05:17] Mushitaro**
*I ought to let the guards take them.*
**[05:21] Mushitaro**
* To that end, I need to make*
* us as noticeable as we can.*
**[05:25] Mushitaro**
My tummy hurts!
**[05:27] Atsushi**
Are you all right?
**[05:28] Mushitaro**
Not at all!
**[05:29] Mushitaro**
I might be a goner!
**[05:33] Kyouka**
Fine.
**[05:36] Kyouka**
I know of an acupuncture point
that works on stomach pain.
**[05:38] Kyouka**
All it takes is a good jab three
centimeters above the hipbone.
**[05:42] Mushitaro**
Oh, I'm all good!
**[05:44] Mushitaro**
It works so well, you feel better
before you even get jabbed!
**[05:47] Kyouka**
Thanks.
**[05:48] Mushitaro**
*You brat!*
**[05:50] Mushitaro**
*I'm not done yet.*
**[05:51] Mushitaro**
This is bad!
**[05:53] Mushitaro**
This hallway is aligned with
the Kabbalistic Taurus!
**[05:56] Mushitaro**
Do not tread this evil path,
you foolish normies!
**[05:59] Kyouka**
I know an acupuncture point
that works on Kabbala.
**[06:01] Mushitaro**
The alignment's all better!
**[06:03] Mushitaro**
Such a powerful acupuncture point.
**[06:05] Kyouka**
Thanks.
**[06:07] Guard A**
Yes, this is Group C.
**[06:10] Guard A**
Yes.
**[06:10] Guard A**
Yes.
**[06:11] Guard A**
Understood.
**[06:12] Guard A**
On our way.
**[06:15] Kyouka**
What's wrong?
**[06:16] Atsushi**
The guards are leaving.
**[06:21] Atsushi**
What the...
**[06:22] Manager**
P-Please, no, detective.
**[06:24] Ango**
Manager, sir...
**[06:27] Ango**
There is a wanted man
hiding in this building.
**[06:30] Ango**
Please cease operations and
grant us security authority.
**[06:36] Military Police A**
*The bank has been surrounded.*
**[06:38] Ango**
Good.
**[06:39] Ango**
We've assessed the
targets' special abilities.
**[06:42] Ango**
We're hunting them down with all our might.
**[06:45] Mushitaro**
What's the problem?
**[06:46] Atsushi**
The Special Operations
Division has us surrounded.
**[06:49] Mushitaro**
It's him!
**[06:52] Mushitaro**
Shit...
**[06:53] Mushitaro**
Ohh, shit.
**[06:54] Mushitaro**
Why is *he* here?
**[06:56] Atsushi**
What is it?
**[06:58] Mushitaro**
Sakaguchi Ango.
**[07:00] Mushitaro**
If that man catches us, we're all done for.
**[07:06] Mushitaro**
Are you aware of an organization
called The Seventh Agency?
**[07:09] Mushitaro**
They specialize in cleaning up
crime and engaging in cover-ups.
**[07:13] Kyouka**
I've heard of it.
**[07:15] Kyouka**
That Fyodor rescued you from confinement
**[07:18] Kyouka**
and demanded cooperation during
the Cannibalism in return.
**[07:22] Mushitaro**
Sakaguchi Ango is the leader
of that crime organization.
**[07:27] Atsushi**
That's impossible!
**[07:28] Atsushi**
Ango-san works for the government!
**[07:30] Mushitaro**
Do you still not understand?
**[07:32] Mushitaro**
The government created
a crime organization!
**[07:36] Mushitaro**
The Seventh Agency is the
government's shadow.
**[07:39] Mushitaro**
Cover-ups of political crimes, using illegal
tactics, removing damaging rumors...
**[07:43] Mushitaro**
I was the one who was given documents
**[07:45] Mushitaro**
on all these things,
so I could delete the evidence.
**[07:48] Mushitaro**
There's no doubt that if we're captured,
I'll be held until the day I die,
**[07:54] Mushitaro**
and you two will be erased.
**[07:56] Kyouka**
If that's true, this trap will be brutal.
**[07:59] Kyouka**
The team within the
Special Operations Division
**[08:01] Kyouka**
focuses on dealing with Gifted.
Even the Port Mafia fears them.
**[08:04] Kyouka**
If we're found, they'll bombard us with poison gas
and explosives and that will be checkmate.
**[08:08] Mushitaro**
So we just need to avoid being found.
**[08:13] Mushitaro**
Who do you think I am?
**[08:20] Mushitaro**
Walk with pride!
**[08:26] Guard C**
What's wrong?
**[08:27] Guard B**
No, nothing.
**[08:29] Mushitaro**
Impressed?
**[08:30] Mushitaro**
If we walk around with stolen goods and use
my special ability to erase evidence of crime,
**[08:35] Mushitaro**
we vanish from any kind
of surveillance video.
**[08:39] Atsushi**
Wow...
**[08:40] Atsushi**
* No wonder Rampo-san struggled*
* against this ability.*
**[08:45] Atsushi**
Kyouka-chan, hide!
**[08:57] Ango**
The target is in this area.
**[09:00] Ango**
There are Gifted who can
dismantle walls and ceilings.
**[09:04] Ango**
Secure the perimeter with caution.
**[09:08] Atsushi**
It's Ango-san.
**[09:09] Mushitaro**
But why?
**[09:10] Mushitaro**
My ability is perfect!
**[09:13] Kyouka**
This is bad.
**[09:14] Kyouka**
The hallway ahead is a
dead end filled with vaults.
**[09:18] Kyouka**
There's nowhere to run.
**[09:20] Atsushi**
Could we hide in a vault?
**[09:22] Kyouka**
That's too dangerous.
**[09:23] Kyouka**
We'd be trapped like rats.
**[09:28] Atsushi**
They're coming!
**[09:30] Mushitaro**
*There's no time.*
**[09:31] Mushitaro**
*If they find us, we're doomed.*
**[09:33] Mushitaro**
*What do we do?!*
**[09:36] Yokomizo**
It's like you're trapped in a room.
**[09:39] Yokomizo**
A trap without an exit.
**[09:41] Yokomizo**
Just like a locked room.
**[09:44] Yokomizo**
It'd make for an entertaining mystery
if the criminal vanished from here.
**[09:49] Yokomizo**
Don't you agree, Mushi-kun?
**[10:00] Mushitaro**
You two.
***SIGN*** Episode 48
***SIGN*** Jailbreak
**[10:03] Mushitaro**
Come with me.
**[10:11] Military Police B**
Target acquired!
**[10:13] Military Police B**
He's escaping into a vault!
**[10:16] Ango**
Neutralize the enemy!
**[10:18] Ango**
Gifted Combat Squad, advance!
**[10:22] Military Police A**
Explosives planted.
**[10:24] Military Police B**
Breach charges set.
**[10:26] Military Police A**
Detonate!
**[10:32] Military Police A**
Breach!
**[10:36] Military Police A**
Command, there's no one here.
**[10:39] Military Police A**
The target has vanished.
**[10:42] Ango**
What?!
**[10:50] Ango**
There's no sign that they've dug
through the walls or ground.
**[10:53] Ango**
There isn't even a sign that
they've used special abilities.
**[10:58] Ango**
They've vanished without a trace.
**[11:03] Mushitaro**
See that, Special Operations?!
**[11:06] Atsushi**
Are you okay?
**[11:08] Mushitaro**
That was nothing.
**[11:09] Mushitaro**
Just the classic vanishing act.
**[11:12] Mushitaro**
What they saw was the moment
Demon Snow closed the vault door.
**[11:16] Mushitaro**
We were, in fact, hiding in an
open vault closer to the exit.
**[11:20] Atsushi**
And, in the moment of the attack,
**[11:22] Atsushi**
Kyouka-chan released
Demon Snow and we escaped.
**[11:25] Mushitaro**
It's psychological trickery,
taking advantage of the expectation
**[11:28] Mushitaro**
that we wouldn't be hiding in an open vault.
**[11:32] Mushitaro**
The smarter you are,
the more likely you are to fall for it.
**[11:34] Atsushi**
I'm amazed that you came up with
that idea under so much pressure.
**[11:37] Mushitaro**
Oh, no, I didn't come up with it.
**[11:43] Mushitaro**
Someone taught me it a long time ago.
**[11:46] Atsushi**
Who did?
**[11:49] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
Hide in the room next door?!
**[11:51] (Flashback) Mushitaro**
Would that even count as a trick?
**[11:57] (Flashback) Yokomizo**
You couldn't figure it out, though,
could you, Mushi-kun?
**[12:02] [SONG] Text**
We debated thousands
upon thousands of times
**[12:03] Mushitaro**
* We debated thousands upon*
* thousands of times.*
**[12:04] [SONG] Text**
It seeped into the very fiber of my being.
**[12:05] Mushitaro**
*It seeped into the very fiber of my being.*
**[12:09] Mushitaro**
*Yokomizo...*
**[12:10] Mushitaro**
*Were you always there?*
**[12:14] Mushitaro**
Can I always meet you in a closed room?
**[12:19] Yokomizo**
Life seems exciting and fun
around you these days.
**[12:23] Yokomizo**
Better for your well-being than writing
those dull letters, I'd say.
**[12:29] Mushitaro**
Shut up, you sell-out.
**[12:33] Atsushi**
Mushitaro-san?
**[12:35] Mushitaro**
Now, we just need to steal a car and run.
**[12:38] Mushitaro**
First, we erase the evidence of
having stolen a car using my ability.
**[12:43] Mushitaro**
That way, the city security camera footage
and stolen car police documents vanish.
**[12:50] Atsushi**
You sure are something else.
**[12:52] Kyouka**
This sewer line will take us to a
parking lot away from the guards.
**[12:57] Atsushi**
I'll handle it.
**[13:03] Atsushi**
I'll go in first and check—
**[13:09] Mushitaro**
Hey!
**[13:14] Mushitaro**
*A dummy grenade!*
**[13:18] Ango**
Unacceptable.
**[13:20] Ango**
I can't have you thinking you
can deceive me that easily.
**[13:24] Mushitaro**
Impossible!
**[13:24] Mushitaro**
How did you find us here?
**[13:25] Atsushi**
Ango-san, please, listen.
**[13:28] Atsushi**
The Detective Agency is innocent.
**[13:31] Atsushi**
The real enemy is elsewhere.
**[13:33] Atsushi**
I trust you to understand.
**[13:36] Atsushi**
Believe me!
**[13:38] Ango**
You're right.
**[13:40] Ango**
I understand.
**[13:43] Ango**
My special ability allows me to extract
memories residing in objects.
**[13:51] Ango**
I used this to determine your escape route.
**[13:55] Ango**
I used this ability to learn
everything about the crime scene.
**[13:58] Ango**
Therefore, I can be certain the
Detective Agency is guilty.
**[14:02] Ango**
You also stabbed Chief Taneda!
**[14:05] Kyouka**
Rampo-san said the government has
a Gifted who can read memories.
**[14:13] Kyouka**
He also said that if we're captured,
we're bound to be executed.
**[14:18] Ango**
You would honestly beg a secret government
organization to just believe you?
**[14:22] Ango**
The Agency's jokes have never
been funny, to the very end.
**[14:25] Atsushi**
* I underestimated the*
* Special Operations Division.*
**[14:49] Military Police A**
Commander, where are the targets?
**[14:51] Ango**
They got away.
**[14:53] Ango**
They escaped through the manhole.
**[14:54] Ango**
They're using the tiger's
special ability to head west.
**[14:59] Ango**
Secure the area!
**[15:01] Military Police A**
Yes, sir.
**[15:04] Ango**
This will convince Fyodor
that we are enemies.
**[15:09] Atsushi**
You believe me that the
Detective Agency is innocent?
**[15:13] Ango**
You saw a message from Dazai-kun
in Francis' office, correct?
**[15:20] Ango**
I was the one who sent that message.
**[15:23] Atsushi**
Huh?
**[15:24] Atsushi**
So, then...
**[15:26] Ango**
Dazai-kun and I have been
cooperating since the beginning.
**[15:30] Ango**
I am Dazai-kun's messenger
while he is confined.
**[15:33] Atsushi**
But how is Dazai-san communicating
with the outside?
**[15:37] Ango**
Prisoners at the Mersault detention center
**[15:40] Ango**
are implanted with a vital sign monitor
in order to prevent escape.
**[15:43] Ango**
Dazai-kun encodes his
messages in his heart rate,
**[15:48] Ango**
which I then use my government
access to retrieve and decode.
**[15:53] Atsushi**
He's controlling his own heart rate?
**[15:56] Ango**
It's a very Dazai-kun party trick.
**[15:58] Ango**
No one would suspect a thing.
**[16:00] Mushitaro**
I don't believe you.
**[16:02] Mushitaro**
You're an enemy.
**[16:04] Mushitaro**
What was the point of that charade, anyway?
**[16:07] Ango**
There's no telling where Fyodor has eyes.
**[16:10] Ango**
With my ability to read memories,
I can pursue any escapee.
**[16:17] Ango**
If I were to just lose you,
the enemy would be suspicious.
**[16:20] Mushitaro**
The enemy?
**[16:22] Mushitaro**
The cunning Seventh Agency
is afraid of the enemy?
**[16:26] Ango**
That's the thing, Mushitaro-san.
**[16:29] Ango**
So it's true that you've been told
I'm with the Seventh Agency.
**[16:34] Mushitaro**
What if I have?
**[16:35] Ango**
It's simple.
**[16:37] Ango**
I'm not with the Seventh Agency.
**[16:41] Mushitaro**
What?
**[16:42] Ango**
Fyodor lied.
**[16:44] Ango**
To keep you away from me.
**[16:48] Ango**
That's how afraid he is of
us talking to each other.
**[16:54] Ango**
Let's continue this
conversation where it's safe.
**[16:58] Lucy**
Are you serious?!
**[17:00] Lucy**
What's wrong with you?!
**[17:01] Lucy**
What do you mean you're *wanted?!*
**[17:04] Atsushi**
Ow, ow...
**[17:05] Mushitaro**
Is this place really safe?
**[17:07] Ango**
Only those she invites can enter.
**[17:10] Ango**
It's the safest place on earth.
**[17:12] Atsushi**
Wait, Lucy-chan. Why are
you even with Ango-san?
**[17:17] Lucy**
Well, that's...
**[17:18] Lucy**
Not for any particular reason.
**[17:19] Ango**
I'm protecting her.
**[17:21] Lucy**
Hey!
**[17:21] Ango**
She barged into the
investigation headquarters.
**[17:25] Ango**
"Atsushi-kun's not evil. There's no way
he's a murderer," she said, maniacally.
**[17:31] Lucy**
Stop it!
**[17:32] Lucy**
Don't tell him!
**[17:34] Atsushi**
Wow, that's kind of you.
**[17:36] Atsushi**
Thank you, Lucy-chan.
**[17:39] Mushitaro**
Never mind that. Tell me, Sakaguchi Ango...
**[17:42] Mushitaro**
I was once captured by an organization that
forced me to help cover up their crimes.
**[17:48] Mushitaro**
That evil organization was
called the Seventh Agency.
**[17:53] Mushitaro**
Are you truly not with that organization?
**[17:57] Ango**
I am not.
**[17:59] Mushitaro**
Have you ever made use of their services?
**[18:07] Ango**
I have.
**[18:13] Mushitaro**
Then I have no reason to cooperate with you.
**[18:17] Ango**
But only once.
**[18:23] Ango**
Four years ago.
**[18:24] Ango**
To make sure Dazai-kun could
live outside the Port Mafia.
**[18:27] Ango**
I erased his past crimes.
**[18:33] Mushitaro**
Why did you dirty your hands just that once?
**[18:47] Ango**
A desperate attempt to make
amends for a friend long gone.
**[18:56] Mushitaro**
For a friend long gone, huh?
**[19:01] Ango**
Mushitaro-san, you're correct.
**[19:04] Ango**
The Seventh Agency is evil.
**[19:06] Ango**
Their scope, their members,
their hierarchy...
**[19:09] Ango**
Everything is unknown.
**[19:11] Ango**
Even I had to go through
four levels of middlemen
**[19:13] Ango**
to work with that government
crime organization.
**[19:17] Mushitaro**
I see.
**[19:18] Mushitaro**
So that's why you work independently.
**[19:22] Ango**
Yes.
**[19:24] Atsushi**
What's going on?
**[19:26] Mushitaro**
This man suspects there's a
spy inside the government.
**[19:32] Ango**
I can't trust anyone.
**[19:34] Ango**
I'm the only one who can
avenge Chief Taneda.
**[19:39] Ango**
To that end, I need to hear what you know.
**[19:43] Ango**
The knowledge that Fyodor tried
so hard to hide from me.
**[19:46] Atsushi**
I ask on his behalf, as well.
**[19:48] Atsushi**
I know you have no reason to tell us.
**[19:52] Kyouka**
Please.
**[19:56] Mushitaro**
Where do I start?
**[19:59] Mushitaro**
But, just so you know, in five
minutes you'll be regretting it.
**[20:03] Mushitaro**
Anything you ask, all of my answers
will absolutely ruin your day.
**[20:08] Ango**
Most important question first, then.
**[20:11] Ango**
What is the Decay of Angels?
**[20:15] Mushitaro**
The terrorist organization, Decay of Angels,
is comprised of five members.
**[20:20] Mushitaro**
The demonic Fyodor and jester Nikolai,
**[20:23] Mushitaro**
as well as two more extremely
talented Gifted.
**[20:25] Mushitaro**
And one founder who manages them.
**[20:30] Atsushi**
Someone *above* Fyodor?
**[20:32] Mushitaro**
I don't know what their ultimate goal is.
**[20:35] Mushitaro**
But I do know what their current plan is,
just one step ahead of it.
**[20:40] Mushitaro**
The erasure of the state.
**[20:41] Ango**
Erasure?
**[20:43] Ango**
Not an overturning?
**[20:46] Atsushi**
That's absurd!
**[20:47] Atsushi**
They could never pull it off!
**[20:49] Mushitaro**
They have the page.
**[20:52] Atsushi**
But there's only one page.
**[20:54] Atsushi**
They used it when they framed the Agency.
**[20:57] Mushitaro**
They can use it just once more.
**[21:01] Ango**
Right.
**[21:02] Ango**
There's still the other side.
**[21:03] Mushitaro**
That's right.
**[21:05] Mushitaro**
The page is activated
the moment it's written upon,
**[21:10] Mushitaro**
and the page is blank on both sides.
**[21:15] Mushitaro**
In other words, they're keeping
the other side ready,
**[21:18] Mushitaro**
so they have the power
to recreate that tragedy.
**[21:23] Atsushi**
Why don't they use it right away, then?
**[21:26] Ango**
For the page to be activated, it needs to
have a narrative-like causal consistency.
**[21:34] Ango**
Correct?
**[21:35] Mushitaro**
That's right.
**[21:36] Mushitaro**
And because of that rule, a grand conspiracy
necessarily requires a lot of text.
**[21:42] Mushitaro**
So they'll only write the
important details onto the page,
**[21:46] Mushitaro**
and will deal with the
trivial details themselves.
**[21:50] Mushitaro**
That's the current phase of their plan.
**[21:51] Mushitaro**
Next, they'll engage in global terrorism.
**[21:54] Mushitaro**
Then, as the final phase of their plan,
they'll use the last page.
**[21:59] Atsushi**
And the state will be erased. Is that it?
**[22:04] Mushitaro**
The other side of the page will be written
on the night of the next full moon.
**[22:15] Ango**
Ten days from now.
**[22:18] Ango**
Shit.
**[22:20] Ango**
You're right. I feel like garbage,
having heard that.
**[22:29] Ango**
I will escort you and relay
this information to Dazai-kun.
**[22:42] Lucy**
Hey, will you be all right?
**[22:46] Atsushi**
Yes!
**[22:47] Atsushi**
We did it, Kyouka-chan!
**[22:49] Lucy**
Huh?
**[22:50] Lucy**
Wh-What's gotten into you?
**[22:53] Atsushi**
Ten days until the other side
of the page is written.
**[22:56] Atsushi**
In other words, they can't
write anything until then.
**[22:59] Kyouka**
Right.
**[23:00] Kyouka**
It'll take at least ten days
to prepare the final step.
**[23:06] Atsushi**
The Detective Agency's been made criminals
because of the page's reality-altering effect.
**[23:10] Atsushi**
We can't undo that...
**[23:13] Atsushi**
Or so I thought.
**[23:15] Atsushi**
But that's not true.
**[23:17] Atsushi**
We'll take the page back and write
that the Agency is innocent.
**[23:21] Atsushi**
That'll fix everything.
**[23:22] Kyouka**
We track down the Decay of Angels
within ten days and defeat them,
**[23:26] Kyouka**
and take the page back.
**[23:28] Atsushi**
That's it.
**[23:29] Atsushi**
That's all we need to do.
**[23:31] Atsushi**
Let's do it, Kyouka-chan!
**[23:35] Atsushi**
There's still hope.

**[00:17] Tachihara**
Better take this off for today.
**[00:24] Teruko**
You peon! What are you looking at?!
**[00:27] Teruko**
I'll kill you!
**[00:29] Jouno**
Hey, Tachihara-kun.
**[00:30] Jouno**
Nice seeing you here.
**[00:31] Jouno**
Teruko-san managed to
get Gilette to confess.
**[00:35] Tachihara**
You mean Jack Gilette of the
Seventeen Worldly Evils?!
**[00:40] Teruko**
I thought he would be a chew toy
that would never fall apart!
**[00:45] Teruko**
He broke in only half a year!
**[00:48] Tachihara**
I sympathize.
**[00:49] Tachihara**
With Gilette.
**[00:52] Jouno**
Anyway, Tachihara-kun, thank you for your
hard work on the infiltration mission.
**[00:57] Jouno**
So, here's your new assignment.
**[01:00] Jouno**
Deal with that problem.
**[01:02] Teruko**
Carry me!
**[01:03] Teruko**
I demand a piggyback ride!
**[01:05] Tachihara**
I'll start by summarizing the
status of my investigation.
**[01:08] Teruko**
Wee.
**[01:09] Teruko**
Following the hostage crisis four days ago,
**[01:11] Teruko**
we've determined that the infamous
Decay of Angels was, in fact,
**[01:15] Teruko**
the Armed Detective Agency.
**[01:17] Tetchou**
What are their goals?
**[01:20] Tetchou**
Any intel?
**[01:21] Tachihara**
The last sighting was the
bank break-in two days ago.
**[01:26] Tetchou**
To think they'd raid a bank...
**[01:28] Tetchou**
Despicable.
**[01:30] Jouno**
No training in the middle of a meeting!
**[01:34] Tetchou**
You're a perfect weight.
**[01:36] Tachihara**
Why haven't we had any further sightings?
**[01:39] Teruko**
They must have already
gotten what they wanted.
**[01:41] Teruko**
The things a criminal on the run
would want more than anything.
**[01:45] Teruko**
A base and a command post.

**[01:50] Ango**
The goal of our mission is to prevent any
terrorist attacks prior to the other side
**[01:53] Ango**
of the page being filled in,
in addition to the recovery of said page.
**[01:56] Ango**
However, as wanted criminals,
the Detective Agency can't act in plain sight.
**[02:01] Ango**
That's where her special ability comes in.
**[02:04] Ango**
By placing the two of you to Anne's Room,
created by her ability,
**[02:08] Ango**
you will be able to infiltrate undetected.
**[02:10] Ango**
She will be the heart of our operation.
**[02:14] Lucy**
You heard him.
**[02:15] Lucy**
Well, tiger kitty?
**[02:17] Lucy**
This ear's telling me it wants
to hear you say thanks.
**[02:21] Atsushi**
Sorry.
**[02:23] Lucy**
Why are you apologizing?
**[02:25] Atsushi**
For getting you mixed up in this.
**[02:27] Atsushi**
Cooperating with us right
now is a serious crime.
**[02:31] Atsushi**
I don't think we can ever repay you enough.
**[02:34] Lucy**
Why not?
**[02:36] Lucy**
I'm the one repaying an impossibly
huge debt right now, aren't I?
**[02:40] Atsushi**
Huh?
**[02:41] Lucy**
Huh?
**[02:45] Lucy**
Nothing! Nothing!
**[02:47] Lucy**
Never mind that!
**[02:48] Lucy**
Forget that! I'm begging you!
**[02:49] Ango**
It's time.
**[02:54] Lucy**
Well, here we go.
**[03:08] Lucy**
To the airport bus stop.
**[03:20] Fukuchi**
Don't let anyone in until I say so.
**[03:23] Guard A; Guard B**
Yes, sir.
**[03:30] Fukuchi**
I trust that you're ready, Fukuzawa.
**[03:33] Fukuzawa**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** Tyrant
**[03:38] Fukuchi**
Why would our reunion be anything
other than a drinking contest?
**[03:41] Fukuzawa**
You haven't changed, Gen'ichiro.
**[03:46] Fukuchi**
What?!
**[03:47] Fukuchi**
You still haven't gotten married?
**[03:50] Fukuzawa**
I'm busy with work.
**[03:52] Fukuchi**
You stuck-up loner.
**[03:54] Fukuchi**
I never would have thought you'd
be the president, though.
***SIGN*** Tyrant
**[04:00] Fukuchi**
But now that you are...
**[04:03] Fukuchi**
you have responsibilities.
**[04:06] Fukuchi**
Make your men surrender to the police.
**[04:09] Fukuchi**
That way, the case will fall under
the jurisdiction of the prosecution,
**[04:12] Fukuchi**
and they will no longer be
targeted by the Hunting Dogs.
**[04:14] Fukuchi**
Because, so long as they are targeting you,
they will never relent trying to tear you apart.
**[04:19] Fukuzawa**
I appreciate the concern, but...
**[04:22] Fukuchi**
Bah.
**[04:24] Fukuchi**
I suppose I might enjoy duking it
out with you again like old times.
**[04:37] Fukuzawa**
Why did you stop?
**[04:39] Fukuchi**
You aren't fooling me, Fukuzawa.
**[04:42] Fukuchi**
You were going to make me cut your
handcuffs and then swipe my sword.
**[04:48] Fukuzawa**
You got me.
**[04:50] Fukuchi**
Fukuzawa, let's make a deal.
**[04:53] Fukuchi**
You want to know what's
happened to your Kunikida.
**[04:57] Fukuchi**
Kunikida fell out of a helicopter
and blew himself up.
**[05:00] Fukuchi**
I know where he's gone.
**[05:05] Fukuzawa**
I don't need that.
**[05:08] Fukuzawa**
Kunikida is alive.
**[05:10] Fukuzawa**
If he were dead,
I would definitely have sensed it.
**[05:20] Fukuchi**
Well, shit.
**[05:22] Fukuchi**
The lone wolf sure has changed.
**[05:26] Jouno**
There's no way you are the greatest.
**[05:29] Bartender**
Welcome.
**[05:31] Jouno**
At the end of the day, your strength is
the "I can beat up a ton of boars" kind,
**[05:37] Jouno**
but the Hunting Dogs' job is
investigating and arresting.
**[05:41] Tetchou**
So?
**[05:42] Jouno**
So, I am the greatest hunting dog.
**[05:45] Tetchou**
You?
**[05:48] Jouno**
I want to kill you *so* badly.
**[05:50] Bartender**
Your order?
**[05:51] Jouno**
Caffè latte.
**[05:53] Tetchou**
Soy sauce latte.
**[05:54] Bartender**
Very good—
**[05:56] Bartender**
Soy sauce?
**[05:57] Jouno**
He'll have what I'm having.
**[05:59] Jouno**
Let's make a bet.
**[06:00] Jouno**
Whoever of us finds the Detective Agency's
whereabouts first wins.
**[06:04] Tetchou**
You're on.
**[06:07] Bartender**
Are the two of you with the police?
**[06:10] Jouno**
Yes.
**[06:11] Jouno**
We're investigating a case right now.
**[06:14] Jouno**
Speaking of which, the heinous
terrorist organization,
**[06:18] Jouno**
the Armed Detective Agency,
was right above this shop. Was it not?
**[06:22] Bartender**
Yes.
**[06:23] Bartender**
I saw them here on occasion.
**[06:26] Bartender**
It's all so terrifying.
**[06:29] Bartender**
Here you are.
**[06:31] Jouno**
She's a waitress here, is she not?
**[06:34] Bartender**
Yes.
**[06:34] Bartender**
She's off work today.
**[06:37] Bartender**
Do you need something from her?
**[06:39] Jouno**
According to our information,
she's very close with the Detective Agency.
**[06:45] Jouno**
We suspect she's aiding their escape.
**[06:48] Bartender**
They wouldn't get very far,
depending on a low-level worker.
**[06:54] Jouno**
Fantastic.
**[06:55] Jouno**
I admire people who can make good coffee.
**[06:59] Jouno**
I almost want you to come work
at the commercial facility I own.
**[07:03] Jouno**
There's only one problem.
**[07:05] Jouno**
You're a dirty liar.
**[07:09] Bartender**
Liar?
**[07:10] Jouno**
I can tell from the sound of your breathing.
**[07:13] Jouno**
You just said the Agency wouldn't get far,
depending on a low-level worker.
**[07:18] Jouno**
But that was a lie.
**[07:20] Jouno**
You know of her special ability.
**[07:23] Bartender**
I don't know what you're talking about.
**[07:26] Jouno**
I understand you buy half a year's
worth of beans at a time.
**[07:30] Jouno**
Despite that, this coffee
has such a fresh scent.
**[07:34] Jouno**
How is that?
**[07:36] Jouno**
It's because you stock your
inventory in her room.
**[07:39] Jouno**
Time can be slowed in a
special ability space.
**[07:42] Jouno**
You can keep a large quantity
of beans fresh that way.
**[07:47] Jouno**
Shall I continue?
**[07:49] Jouno**
You just said Lucy-san has
taken today off.
**[07:53] Jouno**
That is also a lie.
**[07:55] Jouno**
She's taken an indefinite break.
**[07:58] Jouno**
She doesn't know if she can come back.
**[08:00] Jouno**
Yet, you let her go.
**[08:03] Jouno**
Because you understood
**[08:06] Jouno**
that she's the only one who can
save the Detective Agency.
**[08:09] Jouno**
Now, here's the problem.
**[08:12] Jouno**
You're an accessory to an act of terrorism.
**[08:15] Jouno**
If, on top of that, you refuse
to give up her location,
**[08:18] Jouno**
you'll never make coffee again.
**[08:22] Jouno**
Ow!
**[08:23] Jouno**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[08:24] Jouno**
What was that for?!
**[08:26] Tetchou**
You have a bad habit of tormenting people
and taking pleasure in seeing them squirm.
**[08:31] Tetchou**
Boss...
**[08:33] Tetchou**
Is it wrong to want to repay
someone you're dearly indebted to?
**[08:39] Tetchou**
I promise you, that if you
tell us where she is now,
**[08:42] Tetchou**
she will not be questioned for any crimes.
**[08:45] Tetchou**
We have the authority to make that so,
**[08:48] Tetchou**
and a world in which a girl's
honest intentions are rewarded
**[08:51] Tetchou**
is one that we ought to protect.
**[08:54] Bartender**
It isn't just Lucy-chan
that I want to be saved.
**[08:59] Tetchou**
The Detective Agency.
**[09:01] Tetchou**
I promise they'll be given a fair trial.
**[09:05] Jouno**
Sheesh.
**[09:07] Jouno**
I knew this would happen.
**[09:10] Tetchou**
I promise on my sword that, if our promise
is broken, I will cut open my gut.
**[09:18] Tetchou**
Please.
**[09:20] Bartender**
Lucy-chan said that she won't regret
ruining the remainder of her life.
**[09:27] Bartender**
Please save her future.
**[09:33] Tetchou**
I shall.
**[09:36] Bartender**
She's gone to the Sky Casino.
**[09:42] Teruko**
What a ridiculous construction.
**[09:45] Tachihara**
Most people believe that the civilian
entertainment facility is just a front,
**[09:49] Tachihara**
and that it was really built by the winners
of the war for surveillance and intimidation.
**[09:52] Teruko**
It would be both a physical
and political catastrophe
**[09:55] Teruko**
if this place were to be attacked
by terrorists or something.

**[10:06] Employee A**
Manager, we have a problem.
**[10:09] Sigma**
Terrorists?
**[10:11] Teruko**
That's right.
**[10:12] Teruko**
There are terrorists in this facility.
**[10:15] Teruko**
We have proof.
**[10:16] Sigma**
Proof?
**[10:18] Security A**
Sir, look.
**[10:20] Teruko**
That's one of the terrorists.
**[10:23] Teruko**
She used her pocket dimension
ability to bring them all in here.
**[10:26] Sigma**
Then send a search team
to scour the facility.
**[10:28] Teruko**
It's no use.
**[10:30] Teruko**
She can hide with them
in the pocket dimension.
**[10:32] Sigma**
What do we do, then?
**[10:34] Teruko**
We close the casino.
**[10:36] Sigma**
Refused.
**[10:37] Teruko**
What?
**[10:38] Tachihara**
Bastard!
**[10:39] Tachihara**
Do you have any idea how serious this is?
**[10:42] Sigma**
Of course I do.
**[10:47] Sigma**
Those are directed resonance guns.
**[10:50] Sigma**
They were made to combat Gifted.
**[10:53] Sigma**
The sound waves affect the brain,
**[10:55] Sigma**
causing loss of consciousness within
one second and death within ten.
**[10:59] Sigma**
Wanna try it out?
**[11:02] Teruko**
You dare defy the government?
**[11:04] Sigma**
The government?
**[11:06] Sigma**
Under international law, this casino is
outside the jurisdiction of any country's police.
**[11:11] Sigma**
It's effectively an independent nation.
**[11:12] Sigma**
Therefore, I am the law.
**[11:15] Sigma**
If you want to spend your
money here and leave, good.
**[11:17] Sigma**
Otherwise...
**[11:18] Sigma**
Get lost!
**[11:20] Teruko**
How dare you!
**[11:22] Teruko**
Did you just tell me to get lost?!
**[11:26] Tachihara**
Ah, shit.
**[11:29] Teruko**
Okay!
**[11:31] Teruko**
This area is secured.
**[11:33] Sigma**
Wh-What the...?!
**[11:35] Security B**
Someone's blown up the landing zone!
**[11:38] Sigma**
What?!
**[11:41] Teruko**
No one's getting out of this casino now!
**[11:45] Teruko**
We're going to split up
and search the casino!
**[11:48] Teruko**
You figure out what the
Agency's next move is.
**[11:51] Tachihara**
Yes, sir.
**[11:54] Security C**
An explosion?!
**[11:56] Security D**
By terrorists?
**[11:57] Sigma**
Stay calm.
**[12:00] Sigma**
Our top priority is to keep
our clients from panicking.
**[12:03] Sigma**
Tell them it's an electrical failure and
escort them to their hotel rooms.
**[12:07] Sigma**
Client A4098, Lazarus, is unstable.
**[12:10] Sigma**
Assign security to him in particular.
**[12:12] Sigma**
Client E2988 has a
chronic heart condition.
**[12:15] Sigma**
Make sure the medical staff visit him.
**[12:17] Security C**
Wow...
**[12:18] Security C**
I heard he memorizes all of his clients'
names and characteristics instantly.
**[12:22] Security D**
No wonder they say he was
born to manage a casino.
**[12:27] Sigma**
Such a mild incident will
be forgotten by next week.
**[12:31] Sigma**
If you understand, deal with it!
**[12:35] Security**
Yes, sir!
**[12:45] Sigma**
This couldn't have gone any worse.
**[12:47] Sigma**
I should have kicked the Hunting Dogs out.
**[12:49] Sigma**
They must be the ones behind the explosion,
**[12:52] Sigma**
which means they're going to
investigate the casino thoroughly.
**[12:55] Sigma**
If they find out what
this casino really is...
**[13:01] Sigma**
I have to kill them.
**[13:04] Tachihara**
No evidence on this floor, either.
**[13:10] Tachihara**
What's that?
**[13:14] Tachihara**
A coin?
**[13:21] Tachihara**
The Detective Agency!
**[13:24] Tachihara**
That room is their hideout!
**[13:32] Tachihara**
I don't sense anyone here.
**[13:34] Tachihara**
They must have noticed me coming
and escaped to the pocket dimension.
**[13:41] Tachihara**
The carpet has been cut.
**[13:44] Tachihara**
There's something under the floor.
**[13:50] Tachihara**
A safe?
**[13:54] Tachihara**
Metal manipulation.
**[14:09] Tachihara**
Currency from around the world.
**[14:12] Tachihara**
All in coins.
**[14:14] Sigma**
H-How?!
**[14:16] Sigma**
How have the Hunting Dogs found it?
**[14:19] Sigma**
Impossible...
**[14:20] Sigma**
Did he just manage to stumble into
that particular unassuming room?
**[14:24] Sigma**
S-Stay calm.
**[14:26] Sigma**
Their communication devices and weapons
**[14:28] Sigma**
were confiscated along with
those of the other customers.
**[14:32] Sigma**
Which means, if I kill them now,
I can protect the secret.
**[14:37] (Flashback) Fyodor**
Sigma-san.
**[14:39] (Flashback) Fyodor**
I'll give you a word of advice,
as a colleague.
**[14:42] (Flashback) Fyodor**
If you're found out by the Hunting Dogs
in the middle of the mission...
**[14:45] (Flashback) Fyodor**
Abandon everything and run.
**[14:48] (Flashback) Fyodor**
You won't stand a chance.
**[14:52] Sigma**
Abandon everything?
**[14:53] Sigma**
The casino?
**[14:55] Tachihara**
Odd...
**[14:57] Tachihara**
Are these coins hollow?
**[15:00] Tachihara**
*No...*
**[15:01] Tachihara**
*There's something inside.*
**[15:03] Tachihara**
* Some kind of impurity*
* in the metal structure.*
**[15:05] Sigma**
I'm sorry.
**[15:17] Sigma**
It's over.
**[15:19] Sigma**
He can't have evaded instant
death at that distance.
**[15:22] Sigma**
A high-precision explosive
disguised as a coin.
**[15:25] Sigma**
It's the savage weapon at the
center of the Decay of Angels'
**[15:28] Sigma**
next worldwide terrorist attack.
**[15:31] Sigma**
Now that they've seen it,
I can't send them home alive.
**[15:36] Tachihara**
*That was close.*
**[15:38] Sigma**
What?!
**[15:39] Tachihara**
I managed to stop the shrapnel
with my special ability,
**[15:42] Tachihara**
but the blast knocked me down.
**[15:44] Tachihara**
Hang on, are all the coins
in this safe bombs?
**[15:48] Sigma**
I didn't finish him!
**[15:49] Sigma**
Now what?!
**[15:51] Sigma**
Wait...
**[15:53] Sigma**
I still have my last resort,
**[15:55] Sigma**
but it'll cause severe damage to the casino.
**[16:01] (Flashback) Fyodor**
You won't stand a chance.
**[16:04] Sigma**
That may be true.
**[16:06] Sigma**
Of the superhuman organization
that is the Decay of Angels,
**[16:10] Sigma**
I'm the one with the least combat ability.
**[16:13] Sigma**
Outside the casino, I'm nothing.
**[16:17] (Flashback) Security C**
Wow...
**[16:18] (Flashback) Security C**
I heard he memorizes all of his clients'
names and characteristics instantly.
**[16:22] (Flashback) Security D**
No wonder they say he was
born to manage a casino.
**[16:27] Sigma**
Everyone's got it wrong.
**[16:29] Sigma**
I have no talent.
**[16:32] Sigma**
I have to sacrifice sleep to memorize
**[16:34] Sigma**
the clients' profiles and
study the casino like crazy.
**[16:38] Sigma**
I didn't want to lose the casino.
**[16:42] Sigma**
Therefore, I...
**[16:47] Tachihara**
Are you serious?
**[16:49] Tachihara**
An unmanned aircraft?!
**[16:57] Tachihara**
*It's too big.*
**[16:59] Tachihara**
* I can't stop it with my*
* metal manipulation ability!*
**[17:02] Teruko**
Stand back.
**[17:04] Teruko**
Weakling.
**[17:25] Teruko**
It tried to challenge me in a sumo match.
**[17:27] Teruko**
Silly airplane.
**[17:29] Tachihara**
Damn...
**[17:33] Tachihara**
You can't be serious.
**[17:35] Tachihara**
Haven't you done enough?!
**[17:38] Teruko**
Tachihara!
**[17:56] Customer A**
What was that?
**[17:57] Customer B**
Another explosion?
**[18:02] Teruko**
I see.
**[18:04] Teruko**
Coin bombs.
**[18:06] Teruko**
What an exhilarating display of evil.
**[18:08] Tachihara**
The customers take the
coins out of the casino.
**[18:12] Tachihara**
Then, once they've been
traded around the world,
**[18:15] Tachihara**
they'll all be triggered at the same time.
**[18:17] Tachihara**
This casino itself is a terrorist.
**[18:21] Teruko**
So that's why that manager was
in such a hurry to kick us out.
**[18:27] Teruko**
This is where the trigger
signal is transmitted from.
**[18:31] Teruko**
A signal from such a high altitude
would reach across the world.
**[18:35] Tachihara**
What do we do?
**[18:36] Teruko**
We take the central communication room
**[18:38] Teruko**
and expose the casino's
plans to the entire world.
**[18:48] Teruko**
Are you lot that desperate to dance with me?
**[18:54] Atsushi**
I hear fighting.
**[18:56] Atsushi**
The Hunting Dogs are on the move.
**[18:59] (Flashback) Ango**
And that is the Decay of Angels' next plan.
**[19:03] (Flashback) Ango**
A global act of terrorism, targeting
all humanity indiscriminately.
**[19:06] (Flashback) Ango**
But their true goal is the
panic that will ensue.
**[19:10] (Flashback) Ango**
Currency, the basis of a
state's trust, will kill people.
**[19:15] (Flashback) Ango**
Never mind a great depression,
it could trigger the next world war.
**[19:20] (Flashback) Ango**
This is the worldwide terrorism that
the Decay of Angels will perform
**[19:23] (Flashback) Ango**
before they fill in the other side of the page.
**[19:25] (Flashback) Ango**
That much is certain.
**[19:28] Atsushi**
As the first step in stopping
this terrorist attack,
**[19:30] Atsushi**
we'll have the Hunting Dogs
discover the coin bombs
**[19:33] Atsushi**
and take control of the comms room.
**[19:36] Atsushi**
By working with the Hunting Dogs
to stop a terrorist attack,
**[19:40] Atsushi**
we'll prove that we aren't terrorists.
**[19:43] Atsushi**
And we capture Sigma,
who knows where the page is,
**[19:46] Atsushi**
as a member of the Decay of Angels.
**[19:48] Atsushi**
That's Dazai-san's plan.
**[19:52] Sigma**
This is the Hunting Dogs' combat power...
**[19:55] Sigma**
This is what it means to
be in a different league.
**[19:58] Sigma**
But us nothings have our
own way of fighting!
**[20:06] Dazai**
Why did you choose Sigma
to protect the casino?
**[20:09] Fyodor**
What are you talking about?
**[20:11] Dazai**
Are you really going to play dumb?
**[20:13] Dazai**
I discovered something interesting
when I looked up this Sigma man.
**[20:19] Dazai**
His life began when he was arrested
by European police three years ago.
**[20:25] Dazai**
He has no past.
**[20:28] Dazai**
He's like a novel that starts
halfway through the story.
**[20:33] Dazai**
All I learned was his special ability.
**[20:36] Dazai**
The ability to trade, with anyone he touches,
the information each person wants most.
**[20:41] Dazai**
He used that ability to steal the
location of the page from Chief Taneda,
**[20:46] Dazai**
but you only needed him for that instant.
**[20:50] Dazai**
So why did you leave him
in charge of the casino?
**[20:53] Fyodor**
Why do you think?
**[20:55] Dazai**
I don't think he's even a
terrorist to begin with.
**[21:00] Dazai**
It's said that the Sky Casino was
built following a secret meeting
**[21:03] Dazai**
of the victors of the war thirteen years ago,
**[21:06] Dazai**
but no intelligence organization
had information about it.
**[21:10] Dazai**
That's when I realized: the Sky Casino
wasn't built thirteen years ago.
**[21:17] Dazai**
It was built eight days ago.
**[21:19] Dazai**
It emerged instantaneously, having been written
about on the page eight days ago,
**[21:23] Dazai**
along with thirteen years' worth of history.
**[21:27] Dazai**
I'll go back to my first question.
**[21:29] Dazai**
Why did you assign Sigma to the casino?
**[21:32] Fyodor**
Because he's the most powerful of all.
**[21:35] Dazai**
Powerful?
**[21:36] Fyodor**
Who do you think is the
strongest in the world?
**[21:40] Fyodor**
Gifted?
**[21:41] Fyodor**
Political leaders?
**[21:43] Fyodor**
Nope.
**[21:45] Fyodor**
The most powerful man is the
man who has nothing else.
**[21:51] Fyodor**
Sigma doesn't have a past.
**[21:55] Fyodor**
He has amnesia.
**[22:01] Tachihara**
Sorry, but guns don't work on me.
**[22:05] Security G**
Fall back!
**[22:06] Security G**
Retreat for now!
**[22:10] Tachihara**
Teruko-san!
**[22:12] Tachihara**
Are you all right?
**[22:14] Teruko**
Tachihara...
**[22:16] Teruko**
The heroes of justice are gonna
go save the world wounded.
**[22:21] Teruko**
Don't you think this makes for
quite the exhilarating picture?
**[22:24] Tachihara**
* It's the injury from when*
* she stopped the plane.*
**[22:28] Female Customer A**
What was that noise?
**[22:30] Male Customer A**
The security guards are on the ground.
**[22:31] Tachihara**
Shit...
**[22:33] Wife**
Is something wrong?
**[22:35] Tachihara**
Not to worry.
**[22:37] Tachihara**
I'm with the police.
**[22:39] Tachihara**
We're currently investigating
some terrorists.
**[22:40] Tachihara**
This floor is safe.
**[22:43] Wife**
Oh.
**[22:44] Wife**
I'm glad to hear.
**[22:47] Tachihara**
What?!
**[22:51] Teruko**
Tachihara!
**[22:54] Husband**
Now we don't have to pay for our losses!
**[22:56] Wife**
Honey, wait!
**[22:59] Sigma**
*Attack!*
**[23:00] Sigma**
*I repeat: attack these two on sight.*
**[23:04] Sigma**
*You won't be accused of any crime.*
**[23:06] Sigma**
*Your gambling losses will be erased.*
**[23:09] Sigma**
* You'll earn ten thousand dollars*
* for any injury inflicted on them.*
**[23:11] Sigma**
*One million dollars if you kill them.*
**[23:18] Fyodor**
Unsure of who he was,
Sigma looked for a place to be.
**[23:22] Fyodor**
That place was the casino.
**[23:25] Fyodor**
This is why he'll torch the Hunting Dogs
with hellish tenacity to protect the casino.
**[23:33] Fyodor**
The most terrifying thing of all...
***SIGN*** Next Episode: 50

*Oh, no.*

Tachihara.
**[01:54] Tachihara**
Yes, sir.
**[01:55] Teruko**
We, police, must never hurt

And we will achieve our objectives.

**[02:15] Old Lady**
Eh?
**[02:17] Customer A**
Did two people pass through here?
**[02:18] Old Lady**
Huh?
**[02:20] Customer B**
Hey!
**[02:22] Customer B**
Take a look at this.
**[02:25] Customer A**
They went to the lower deck!
**[02:27] Customer A**
Hurry!
**[02:28] Customer A**
They're downstairs!
**[02:30] Customer B**
Let our friends know downstairs.
**[02:31] Customer C; D**
Right.
**[02:34] Customer**
The enemy's downstairs!
**[02:36] Customer**
The bounty's mine!
**[02:46] Security A**
What do you want, old woman?
**[02:47] Security A**
You aren't allowed here.
**[02:49] Old Lady**
Oh, really?
**[02:52] Old Lady**
Are we getting simmered
flounder for dinner tonight?
**[02:55] Security A**
What are you doing all the way down here?
**[02:57] Old Lady**
Oh, what was it again...?
**[03:00] Old Lady**
Ah, I remember!
**[03:03] Old Lady**
I remember now!
**[03:11] Teruko**
I came to beat the shit out
of you wretched criminals.
**[03:14] Tachihara**
Um...
**[03:17] Tachihara**
Can I get out, now?
**[03:21] Teruko**
You ought to come to the
next company party like that.
**[03:24] Tachihara**
Please, no!
**[03:29] Teruko**
My ability allows me to control age.
**[03:33] Teruko**
Now, I'll ask before you
become hard of hearing.
**[03:36] Teruko**
How do I take control of the
central control terminal ahead?
**[03:41] Teruko**
Don't worry. I won't kill you.
**[03:44] Teruko**
I'll stop right around when
you start severe joint pains.
**[03:48] Tachihara**
* That's the most feared ability*
* in the Hunting Dogs.*
**[03:52] Tachihara**
* Even the toughest of men can stand being*
* tortured after being made elderly or infant.*
**[04:01] Security B**
The terminal has to be reset with a key.
**[04:07] Security B**
The manager has the only one.
**[04:11] Teruko**
Good.
**[04:14] Teruko**
There'll be more security here soon.
**[04:16] Teruko**
It'll be your job to stop them.
**[04:19] Teruko**
What about you?
**[04:22] Tachihara**
I'll take the king's head.
***SIGN*** Episode 50
**[04:25] Dazai**
Sigma's powerful because he has no memories?
**[04:28] Dazai**
That waitress at the shop would
be the strongest ever, then.
**[04:31] Dazai**
She always forgets my orders.
**[04:34] Dazai**
No matter how committed Sigma is,
**[04:37] Dazai**
the Hunting Dogs are in a
totally different league.
**[04:40] Fyodor**
League?
**[04:42] Fyodor**
It's not just the Hunting Dogs
that are in a separate league.
**[04:45] Fyodor**
Even you and I are in a far
lower league than Sigma.
**[04:50] Fyodor**
Sorrowful music runs through Sigma's veins.
**[04:54] Fyodor**
His alienation is absolute.
**[04:57] Fyodor**
The Sky Casino is the only thing
that shares that with him.
**[05:01] Fyodor**
He can't afford to lose it.
**[05:04] Dazai**
No...
**[05:05] Fyodor**
That's right.
**[05:06] Fyodor**
Sigma was born three years ago when
he was written into the book.
**[05:11] Fyodor**
Just like that, out of nothing.
**[05:14] Dazai**
Impossible.
**[05:15] Dazai**
Can such a thing really be called human?
**[05:21] (Flashback) Fyodor**
Would you not like a home?
**[05:24] Fyodor**
He gave himself a name.
**[05:27] Fyodor**
"Sigma."
**[05:29] Fyodor**
He finally has just one place
to call home: the Sky Casino.
**[05:35] Teruko**
Good day, mister manager.
**[05:38] Teruko**
Are you ready to surrender?
**[05:42] Sigma**
I'm not.
**[05:44] Sigma**
I never could be.
**[05:45] Teruko**
Don't expect me to give you much time.
**[05:48] Teruko**
I'm about to destroy that communication
device and save the world, after all.
**[05:54] Sigma**
This device is a mere terminal.
**[05:57] Sigma**
The trigger signal cannot be stopped
without this key to override it.
**[06:02] Teruko**
I thought so.
**[06:04] Teruko**
All right, then.
**[06:06] Sigma**
Don't get me wrong.
**[06:07] Sigma**
I'll give you the key.
**[06:11] Sigma**
* To be honest, I wanted to*
* just run away in tears.*
**[06:16] Sigma**
* But if I don't stop the Hunting Dogs,*
* the casino will be ruined.*
**[06:20] Sigma**
* The enemy is the strongest*
* special force in the country.*
**[06:23] Sigma**
*And I'm just an ordinary man.*
**[06:26] Sigma**
But...
**[06:31] Sigma**
Open fire!
**[06:33] Sigma**
*I will prevail!*
**[06:43] Atsushi**
Kyouka-chan!
**[06:45] Atsushi**
I hear fighting from the lower decks.
**[06:47] Atsushi**
It's starting.
**[06:48] Atsushi**
It must be the Hunting Dogs.
**[06:50] Atsushi**
* They've gotten here a lot*
* sooner than I expected.*
**[06:52] Atsushi**
* We need to join the fight soon,*
* or Dazai-san's plan will be ruined.*
**[06:59] Kyouka**
You ought to be able make it to the
bottom floor using your claws.
**[07:04] Kyouka**
Go, please.
**[07:06] Kyouka**
Leave this to me.
**[07:14] Sigma**
Impossible!
**[07:15] Sigma**
She's deflecting them with her bare hands?!
**[07:17] Sigma**
* No, not even the Hunting Dogs could*
* hold up against this for long.*
**[07:27] Sigma**
What?!
**[07:28] Sigma**
*Cooking knives?!*
**[07:30] Sigma**
*She must have stolen them from the kitchen!*
**[07:33] Sigma**
I'm not done yet!
**[07:34] Sigma**
I can start up another turret!
**[07:38] Teruko**
Forget it.
**[07:40] Teruko**
You never had a chance to begin with.
**[07:43] Sigma**
You're right.
**[07:45] Sigma**
As you can see, I'm not much of a man.
**[07:49] Sigma**
But all is according to plan!
**[07:53] Teruko**
*A directed resonance gun!*
**[08:00] Sigma**
I doubt you can lift a finger.
**[08:02] Sigma**
The acoustic waves are entering through your
ears and creating bubbles inside your brain.
**[08:07] Sigma**
And this one's been modified
to be five time as powerful.
**[08:10] Sigma**
See that, Hunting Dog?
**[08:12] Sigma**
This...
**[08:13] Sigma**
All this is the power of my determination!
**[08:19] Sigma**
Impossible!
**[08:21] Sigma**
How can you stand?!
**[08:23] Sigma**
This output level would wear down
even a Hunting Dog's brain!
**[08:27] Teruko**
The power of your determination, you say?
**[08:30] Teruko**
Then, let me ask...
**[08:32] Teruko**
Why do you think you're the only one
**[08:38] Teruko**
who has determination?!
**[08:41] Sigma**
*The injury in her ear...*
**[08:43] Sigma**
*It can't be...*
**[08:44] Sigma**
* Did she destroy her own ear canal to*
* stop the sound from infiltrating her?!*
**[08:50] Teruko**
I have a story for you.
**[08:53] Teruko**
The Hunting Dogs' superhuman physical prowess
**[08:56] Teruko**
is the result of surgery carried out
by doctors with special abilities.
**[08:59] Teruko**
But the inhuman nature of the
surgeries made them such that,
**[09:02] Teruko**
if we miss even one of the monthly follow-up
surgeries, our flesh rots and we die.
**[09:07] Sigma**
Why would you go so far?
**[09:10] Teruko**
We are the manifestation
of this country's order.
**[09:13] Teruko**
Without order, those who thrive through
violence would conquer the people.
**[09:18] Teruko**
I will *not* tolerate such a vile world.
**[09:21] Teruko**
Thus, the Hunting Dogs
employ maximum violence.
**[09:25] Teruko**
As slaves of society, we will not spare
even our own selves from order's flame!
**[09:34] Teruko**
This is your final warning.
**[09:36] Teruko**
Surrender.
**[09:38] Sigma**
I refuse.
**[09:39] Sigma**
There's no wall that even a mediocre man
can't overcome, with enough desperation.
**[09:43] Teruko**
You're right.
**[09:44] Teruko**
The desperation of a mediocre
man is indeed terrifying.
**[09:47] Teruko**
But what is there beyond that?
**[09:50] Teruko**
Do you not understand?
**[09:52] Teruko**
Beyond the wall that a mediocre
man overcomes with desperation
**[09:55] Teruko**
is a battle against a genius
who is equally desperate.
**[09:59] Teruko**
A battle where desperation
holds no relative value.
**[10:03] Teruko**
Welcome to our world.
**[10:10] Sigma**
I understand it well.
**[10:12] Sigma**
I don't stand a chance.
**[10:15] Sigma**
Both the casino and I are doomed.
**[10:17] Sigma**
Then I will save at least one!
**[10:21] Teruko**
*What?!*
**[10:23] Teruko**
* Is he going to die with me*
* to protect the casino?!*
**[10:34] Sigma**
You aren't getting away!
**[10:35] Teruko**
* Where does this man get*
* so much strength from?*
**[10:39] Teruko**
*I can't catch him alive.*
**[11:00] Atsushi**
Be careful.
**[11:04] Atsushi**
We're at the casino's foundation,
above the power box.
**[11:08] Atsushi**
If you fall again, you're done.
**[11:10] Sigma**
You're with the Detective Agency.
**[11:13] Sigma**
Why did you save me?
**[11:14] Atsushi**
Why? Why else?
**[11:17] Atsushi**
The only way we can save the
Agency is to obtain the page.
**[11:21] Atsushi**
And you know where it is.
**[11:24] Sigma**
Even if I did, do you
think I would tell you?
**[11:27] Atsushi**
I do.
***SIGN*** Sakaguchi Ango
**[11:30] Ango**
* Using my ability, I can read*
* the page's location from your mind.*
**[11:35] Sigma**
*It's the man from Special Ops!*
**[11:38] Sigma**
Sorry, but I've already taken measures
to protect against your ability.
**[11:41] Ango**
* Then we'll simply have to hurt*
* you until you want to talk.*
**[11:46] Ango**
*You're the man who stabbed Chief Taneda.*
**[11:48] Ango**
*I have no intention*
**[11:50] Ango**
of showing mercy.
**[11:53] Sigma**
I didn't intend to stab him.
**[11:55] Sigma**
I only wanted to threaten him.
**[11:59] Sigma**
Ask whatever you want.
**[12:01] Sigma**
I can't do this anymore.
**[12:03] Sigma**
In the end, I never even
found my reason for being.
**[12:11] Ango**
*Atsushi-kun, this is the final mission.*
**[12:14] Ango**
*Please deliver Sigma to the surface.*
**[12:16] Atsushi**
Understood.
**[12:22] Atsushi**
No way!
**[12:23] Atsushi**
*Here?*
**[12:25] Atsushi**
*Is this the moment you choose, Fyodor?*
**[12:34] Ango**
*Atsushi-kun, be careful!*
**[12:37] Ango**
*He's going to kill you to save his own!*
**[12:41] Nathaniel**
Guilty.
**[12:53] Atsushi**
Sigma-san! Be strong!
**[12:55] Sigma**
It's fine.
**[12:57] Sigma**
I had a feeling it would end like this.
**[13:03] Nathaniel**
Atone for your sins.
**[13:18] Sigma**
Let me go. You'll die, too.
**[13:21] Atsushi**
No!
**[13:23] Atsushi**
You never knew your reason for being?
**[13:26] Atsushi**
Those are words that can never
be a person's last! It's wrong!
**[13:34] Sigma**
You're a kind man.
**[13:38] Sigma**
But it's fine.
**[13:39] Atsushi**
No!
**[13:40] Sigma**
I've done all I can as an ordinary man.
**[13:51] Ango**
*Lucy-san, please look down.*
**[13:54] Lucy**
What?
**[13:55] Ango**
*Now!*
**[13:58] Lucy**
It's him!
**[13:59] Ango**
* Please throw him a rope or*
* something he can grab onto.*
**[14:02] Lucy**
I don't have anything.
**[14:04] Ango**
*But...*
**[14:05] Lucy**
No, I have a way, though.
**[14:09] Lucy**
You'd better gather my
bones if I fall, though.
**[14:12] Lucy**
Atsushi!
**[14:17] Lucy**
Transport!
**[14:25] Atsushi**
Ow, ow...
**[14:29] Lucy**
Looks like we made it.
**[14:31] Atsushi**
Thanks.
**[14:32] Atsushi**
You saved me—
**[14:33] Atsushi**
Look out!
**[14:39] Atsushi**
How did he get in here?
**[14:42] Atsushi**
*A thin string of blood.*
**[14:44] Atsushi**
* He must have tied this to me so*
* he would be transported with us.*
**[14:49] Atsushi**
*This is bad.*
**[14:51] Lucy**
No, it's over.
**[14:52] Lucy**
Welcome to my kingdom.
**[15:01] Lucy**
As long as you're in this room,
you can't hurt Anne.
**[15:14] Lucy**
Yes! I finally captured him!
**[15:17] Lucy**
We win!
**[15:18] Ango**
*No. We've lost.*
**[15:21] Ango**
*We've let Sigma die.*
**[15:23] Ango**
*We no longer have a way to locate the page.*
**[15:27] Ango**
*Worse...*
**[15:28] Ango**
* The Hunting Dogs have seen*
* you work to save Sigma.*
**[15:33] Ango**
* They will perceive that as the*
* Agency cooperating with fellow terrorists.*
**[15:38] Ango**
* I'm afraid this was all*
* according to Fyodor's plan.*
**[15:43] Ango**
We've lost.
**[15:47] Dazai**
You're unbelievable.
**[15:49] Fyodor**
I haven't done anything.
**[15:52] Fyodor**
I simply sat here and prayed.
**[15:55] Fyodor**
Prayers alway reaches God.
**[15:58] Dazai**
So even the coin bombs were a decoy.
**[16:01] Dazai**
Just a means to draw the Hunting Dogs
and the Detective Agency to the casino.
**[16:06] Dazai**
Why?
**[16:10] Fyodor**
It's more beautiful that way, is it not?
**[16:14] Tachihara**
Gotta gain information on the terrorists.
**[16:19] Tachihara**
What is this?
**[16:27] Atsushi**
* I will share the truth of the case with you,*
* in hopes that you are a sensible person.*
**[16:32] Tachihara**
The Detective Agency!
**[16:33] Atsushi**
* The masterminds behind the terrorist attacks*
* are the five Gifteds, the Decay of the Angels.*
**[16:38] Atsushi**
* They've stolen a device known as*
* "the page" that amends reality.*
**[16:42] Atsushi**
* They've smeared the*
* Detective Agency with their crime, and—*
**[16:45] Fyodor**
I suppose you've been spreading
a web of conspiracies yourself.
**[16:50] Fyodor**
But God prefers perfection and harmony.
**[16:54] Fyodor**
Thus, in accordance with God's will,
I added a particular line to the page.
**[17:03] Teruko**
*Tachihara, have you found anything?*
**[17:05] Atsushi**
*And as the final stage of their plan,*
**[17:08] Atsushi**
* they intend to write the demise*
* of the state onto the page.*
**[17:12] Atsushi**
* That is the full story of the*
* worldwide terrorism attack, and...*
**[17:14] Teruko**
*Tachihara, what's the matter?*
**[17:16] Tachihara**
No. Nothing.
**[17:18] Tachihara**
Just more false information meant
to throw off the investigation.
**[17:23] Dazai**
A modification to ensure they don't believe
in the Detective Agency's innocence?
**[17:27] Fyodor**
Yes.
**[17:27] Fyodor**
All law enforcement and investigative
bodies that happen upon evidence
**[17:32] Fyodor**
of the Detective Agency's entrapment
will dismiss it without consideration.
**[17:38] Fyodor**
That's what I wrote in the page.
**[17:41] Fyodor**
In other words, the plot to get the Hunting Dogs
on your side was futile to begin with.
**[17:48] Tachihara**
Infiltrate the Port Mafia again?!
**[17:51] Teruko**
*Yep.*
**[17:52] Teruko**
*I've gotten in touch with the surface.*
**[17:55] Teruko**
The Detective Agency has thoroughly
crossed a line with the coin bombs.
**[17:59] Teruko**
This is no longer a state's criminal matter.
**[18:03] Teruko**
The whole world's going to be on their ass.
**[18:06] Teruko**
* Which means we have to be*
* the ones to catch them.*
**[18:10] Teruko**
*Tachihara, infiltrate the Mafia once more*
**[18:13] Teruko**
* and find out where the last two*
* Detective Agency members have run off to.*
**[18:21] Teruko**
*Are you reluctant?*
**[18:23] Tachihara**
No.
**[18:24] Tachihara**
It's just that, these days, I get strangely
annoyed dealing with the Mafia.
**[18:30] Teruko**
You?
**[18:32] Teruko**
You're practically born to do undercover
investigations, with your special ability.
**[18:37] Teruko**
You did it when you eliminated the Mafia
members who were aiding the Detective Agency.
**[18:45] Tachihara**
I...
**[18:51] (Flashback) Hirotsu**
Tachihara. You made it.
**[18:54] (Flashback) Hirotsu**
I heard you were stabbed in the gut.
**[18:56] (Flashback) Tachihara**
It wasn't as bad as I thought.
**[18:59] (Flashback) Gin**
The same as us, then.
**[19:01] (Flashback) Hirotsu**
Yeah.
**[19:02] (Flashback) Hirotsu**
Despite my spectacular bloodshed,
the wounds were rather shallow.
**[19:06] (Flashback) Hirotsu**
It was as though the attack was an act.
**[19:11] (Flashback) Tachihara**
What's the point if we're both alive
because we were going easy on each other?
**[19:16] (Flashback) Hirotsu**
Y-You bastard!
**[19:20] (Flashback) Tachihara**
Hey, old man...
**[19:22] (Flashback) Tachihara**
Do you think I'm cut out for the Port Mafia?
**[19:38] Dazai**
You don't know anything about God, do you?
**[19:43] Fyodor**
I'm listening.
**[19:45] Dazai**
Perfection and harmony?
**[19:47] Dazai**
God cares more about your
pores than he does that.
**[19:52] Dazai**
He's famous for his
coincidences and absurdism.
**[19:55] Dazai**
I've seen it countless times.
**[19:58] Dazai**
No matter how masterfully you devise
your schemes, where we are is here.
**[20:05] Dazai**
A prison at the ends of the earth.
**[20:07] Dazai**
The ones that run the world are,
in fact, the ones who howl,
**[20:12] Dazai**
run, and shed blood in incidental storms.
**[20:16] Dazai**
You and I are powerless in the
face of their intense spirits.
**[20:23] Dazai**
Do you know what that means?
**[20:26] (Flashback) Hirotsu**
Tachihara, you are mafia among mafia.
***SIGN*** Tachihara,
***SIGN*** you are mafia among mafia.
**[20:32] (Flashback) Hirotsu**
Your rashness, your hotheadedness,
your reckless valor...
**[20:37] (Flashback) Hirotsu**
You're a model for the
rest of the Port Mafia.
**[20:42] Tachihara**
*Why am I feeling this way?*
**[20:45] Tachihara**
* I infiltrated the Port Mafia to*
* take revenge for my brother...*
**[20:50] Tachihara**
*No...*
***SIGN*** No...
**[20:51] Tachihara**
*That's an excuse.*
***SIGN*** That's an excuse.
**[20:53] Tachihara**
*I wanted to become someone...*
**[20:57] Tachihara**
* Someone who was neither my brilliant*
* brother or his opposite.*
**[21:00] Tachihara**
*That's why I spared the doctor...*
**[21:16] (Flashback) Yosano**
Tachihara.
**[21:22] (Flashback) Yosano**
I'm sorry about your brother.
**[21:27] Tachihara**
*The freaking Detective Agency...*
**[21:29] Tachihara**
*Vicious terrorists...*
**[21:32] Tachihara**
*What the hell is wrong with these people?*
**[21:35] (Flashback) Ougai**
The Detective Agency will not relent.
**[21:38] (Flashback) Ougai**
If it'll prove the organization's innocence,
they'll abandon their lives.
**[21:43] (Flashback) Ougai**
A guilty verdict would not stand against
them when they forfeit their lives.
**[21:47] (Flashback) Ougai**
They have only an innocent verdict or death.
**[21:50] (Flashback) Ougai**
The world is already
convinced of their guilt.
**[21:53] (Flashback) Ougai**
But I'm not so.
**[21:57] Tachihara**
*At the very least,*
**[21:59] Tachihara**
* the boss has believed the Detective Agency*
* to be innocent from the beginning.*
**[22:02] Tachihara**
* I can't imagine he'd ever trust the Detective*
* Agency on gut feeling or out of sympathy.*
**[22:08] (Flashback) Tachihara**
Hey, you guys...
**[22:10] (Flashback) Tachihara**
What do you think of the Detective Agency?
**[22:12] (Flashback) Tachihara**
Do you think they're actually terrorists?
**[22:16] (Flashback) Hirotsu**
Did you hurt your head
or something, Tachihara?
**[22:19] (Flashback) Hirotsu**
The truth about the Port Mafia
ought to be obvious to anyone.
**[22:24] (Flashback) Hirotsu**
Right, Gin?
**[22:25] (Flashback) Gin**
Yes.
**[22:26] (Flashback) Gin**
It isn't even worth considering.
**[22:29] (Flashback) Gin**
The Detective Agency aren't terrorists.
**[22:31] (Flashback) Gin**
It's preposterous.
**[22:33] (Flashback) Hirotsu**
Tachihara, if you're Port Mafia,
it ought to be obvious to you, too.
**[22:40] Tachihara**
*Of course.*
**[22:42] Tachihara**
*The answer is crystal clear.*
***SIGN*** Fyodor: "All law enforcement and investigative bodies
***SIGN*** that happen upon evidence of the Detective Agency's
***SIGN*** entrapment will dismiss it without consideration."
**[22:47] Tachihara**
What the hell am I doing?
**[22:51] Tachihara**
There's no way the Armed Detective
Agency are terrorists.
**[22:54] Tachihara**
The government's got the wrong people!
**[22:57] Tachihara**
We have to persuade the government!
**[23:02] Dazai**
You're correct.
**[23:03] Dazai**
Humans are sinful and foolish.
**[23:07] Dazai**
But they aren't quite
as boring as you think.
**[23:23] Sigma**
*There's the point where it ends.*
**[23:27] Sigma**
*What's that?*
**[23:33] Nikolai**
A'ight, time for some resurrection magic!
**[23:37] Nikolai**
Oh, so fun!
