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!

Forgive us, haloed angel of war,
[10:54] Murakami
or show yourself in the human realm!
[10:58] Murakami
I do not fear death!
[11:00] Murakami
If you must cast judgment,
first pierce my chest.
[11:05] Murakami
I know what you want.
[11:07] Murakami
You want me to watch as my
friends spite one another
[11:10] Murakami
with the foulness common
to humanity, don't you?
[11:12] Murakami
I shall expose you!
[11:14] Murakami
And your sin!
[11:29] Audience Woman A
Wow.
[11:31] Fukuzawa
This doesn't happen in the script.
[11:34] ---
[11:36] ---
Why's he...?
[11:39] Fukuzawa
Real blood.
[11:41] Fukuzawa
Call an ambulance!
[11:42] Fukuzawa
Inform the police at the
door and close the theater.
[11:45] ---
[11:45] ---
[11:46] Fukuzawa
Is he dead?
[11:47] ---
[11:48] ---
[11:48] Fukuzawa
But where's the weapon?
[11:51] Fukuzawa
No weapon...
[11:53] Fukuzawa
No...
[11:54] Fukuzawa
A murder by an angel?
[11:57] Fukuzawa
Impossible!
[11:59] Woman B
No!
[12:02] Woman B
Takio!
[12:04] Man D
He's actually dead!
[12:05] ---
[12:05] Man E
It's a murder!
[12:08] Fukuzawa
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
detective
must
be
armed
[13:52] Fukuzawa
A detective must be armed.
[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.
