    A peaceful existence——
[00:06] Customer
    The usual.
[00:08] Truck Owner
    Sure thing.
[00:09] Truck Owner
    One taco roll.
[00:11] Truck Owner
    Don't you ever get bored of that?
[00:14] Customer
    And you always breathe the same air.
[00:17] Customer
    Have you ever gotten bored of it?
[00:21] Customer
    Here.
[00:21] Customer
    Seven-fifty.
[00:30] Caster
    Europol has announced that the explosion
[00:32] Caster
    was caused by a malfunctioning
    remote detonation device.
[00:35] Caster
    The counterfeit coins implicated in the
    explosion are thought to be the same
[00:37] Caster
    as the ones discovered following the
    discovery of the Sky Casino terror plot.
[00:40] Jouno
    What a tragedy.
[00:42] Jouno
    Do you happen to have any thoughts?
[00:44] Kunikida
    Only that I agree.
[00:46] Jouno
    It was the doing of terrorists like you.
[00:49] Kunikida
    The Detective Agency is innocent.
[00:52] Jouno
    Oh, fine.
[00:54] Jouno
    I've brought a pear.
[00:56] Kunikida
    Are you giving it to me?
[00:58] Jouno
    Of course not.
[01:00] Jouno
    It might not seem like it,
    but I admire you.
[01:05] Jouno
    That day, when you were about
    to blow yourself up mid-air,
[01:08] Jouno
    you grabbed Tetchou-san
    and used him as a shield
[01:11] Jouno
    to protect yourself from
    the grenade explosion.
[01:16] Jouno
    Without that, not even our gifted
    doctors could have saved you.
[01:22] Jouno
    Your talent is worthy of praise.
[01:24] Jouno
    So...
[01:26] Jouno
    I've come up with a way to have
    you alone deemed innocent.
[01:29] Jouno
    Kunikida-san, would you like
    to join the Hunting Dogs?
[01:32] Kunikida
    What?
[01:33] Jouno
    Join us in hunting down and arresting
    the Armed Detective Agency.
[01:37] Jouno
    That's the price for your freedom.
[01:40] Jouno
    Given that you'd need routine surgery
    each month in order to stay alive,
[01:43] Jouno
    you'd have no choice but to remain loyal.
[01:45] Kunikida
    Leave.
[01:46] Kunikida
    Do you think I'd betray the Agency?
[01:48] Jouno
    Unless you accept this offer and the surgery,
[01:51] Jouno
    you will lose not just your ideals
    but all of your special abilities.
[01:57] Kunikida
    My abilities?
[01:58] Jouno
    Your notebook.
[02:00] Jouno
    How would you write without
    either of your hands?

[03:34] Lucy
    So...
[03:35] Lucy
    What are you gonna do now?
[03:39] Atsushi
    We have to get the page by
    the day of the full moon.
[03:41] Atsushi
    That's the only way out of this.
[03:44] Atsushi
    But with Sigma dead, we have no leads.
[03:48] Atsushi
    If only we had the rest of the Detective Agency...
[03:51] Atsushi
    This wouldn't have been a big deal.
[03:52] Dazai
    Don't be clingy.
[03:54] Dazai
    Find a way with the strength you have now.
[04:04] Atsushi
    Let's look for more clues.
[04:07] Atsushi
    We might have missed something.
[04:10] Atsushi
    I'm sure if we work together,
[04:13] Atsushi
    we'll find some new...
[04:19] Ango
    Atsushi-kun!
[04:22] Jouno
    Now, then, I'll be off.
[04:26] Jouno
    I'm sure you'll need some
    time to consider my offer.
[04:30] Jouno
    Oh, right.
[04:33] Jouno
    The doctor's execution has
    been scheduled for today.
[04:37] Jouno
    That goes to show that your "ideals" of
    protecting your own kind amount to nothing.
[04:44] Jouno
    Isn't it about time?

[05:19] Nikolai
    You're awake.
[05:22] Sigma
    Nikolai!
[05:25] Sigma
    Why are you here?
[05:27] Nikolai
    You're amazing!
[05:29] Nikolai
    Look at how shocked you are.
[05:31] Nikolai
    Amazingly...
[05:34] Nikolai
    plain.
[05:37] Sigma
    I fell from the Sky Casino...
[05:40] Sigma
    And I don't have a single scratch.
[05:42] Nikolai
    It's actually a simple magic trick.
[05:46] Nikolai
    I used my spatial splicing ability
    to catch you on your way down
[05:49] Nikolai
    and spit you out in the opposite direction.
[05:51] Nikolai
    I kept doing that until
    you gradually lost speed.
[05:53] Nikolai
    I'm also using my ability to loop
    your blood back into your body.
[05:59] Nikolai
    I practically got blood
    out of a stone for you!
[06:03] Nikolai
    Get it?
[06:04] Sigma
    I'm certain Fyodor was the one
    who ordered the hit on me.
[06:08] Sigma
    Why would you save me?
[06:11] Sigma
    I thought you died in the hostage incident.
[06:14] Nikolai
    Why don't you just ask me?
[06:16] Nikolai
    I'm right here, after all.
[06:20] Sigma
    How did you survive?
[06:21] Nikolai
    Aww, shucks, I don't know.
[06:24] Nikolai
    Who asks a magician to reveal his tricks?
[06:27] Nikolai
    That's, like, so rude, y'know?
[06:31] Nikolai
    Nah, I kid.
[06:32] Nikolai
    It's a simple trick.
[06:34] Nikolai
    I used my spatial splicing ability to make
    a gap and connect it with another torso.
[06:38] Nikolai
    All the chainsaw did was split that space.
[06:41] Sigma
    I still don't get it.
[06:43] Nikolai
    If you ever see a magician die
    with their arms and legs tied up,
[06:46] Nikolai
    you have to question the trick.
[06:47] Sigma
    No.
[06:49] Sigma
    You're definitely an elite
    Gifted for whom anything goes.
[06:54] Sigma
    But that's not what I'm surprised about.
[06:57] Sigma
    In the plan, you were supposed to die.
[07:00] Sigma
    All in order to erase the
    real culprit from the scene
[07:02] Sigma
    and force the Agency to go on the run.
[07:07] Sigma
    You agreed to that plan when you joined.
[07:10] Nikolai
    You're absolutely right.
[07:12] Nikolai
    I was, in fact, intent on dying.
[07:15] Nikolai
    So that I could prove the
    existence of true free will.
[07:19] Nikolai
    I didn't expect anyone else
    to understand that motive.
[07:24] Nikolai
    Alas...
[07:27] (Flashback) Fyodor
    Fantastic.
[07:29] (Flashback) Fyodor
    You resist God and fight to lose yourself.
[07:37] Nikolai
    I was awestruck.
[07:38] Nikolai
    He saw the truth.
[07:41] Nikolai
    Fyodor is the only person who
    understands me. My only friend.
[07:46] Nikolai
    That's what I thought.
[07:49] Nikolai
    And that's when I realized:
[07:51] Nikolai
    If I killed this friend of mine, we would
    be free even from the grip of our emotions.
[07:58] Nikolai
    I could prove that I'm a truly free bird.
[08:02] Sigma
    This man...
[08:04] Nikolai
    I'll kill Fyodor-kun.
[08:07] Nikolai
    For that, I'd like you to use your ability
    to determine what his special ability is.
[08:18] Lucy
    He won't come to.
[08:21] Ango
    The only cause I can think of is
    the empowered bullet that hit him.
[08:28] Ango
    In which case, this is a
    part of Fyodor's scheme.
[08:32] Ango
    What might they do in this situation?
[08:36] Ango
    Threaten us using the virus special ability,
    as they did during the cannibalism?
[08:38] Ango
    In other words, Atsushi would be a hostage.
[08:41] Ango
    If we hunt down the mastermind,
    he would die.
[08:46] Ango
    But if we don't stop the terrorism,
    millions will die.
[08:49] Ango
    As a member of the
    Special Operations Division,
[08:51] Ango
    the security of this nation
    is my top priority.
[08:54] Ango
    But it isn't for these two.
[08:57] Ango
    If they were forced to choose,
    they would choose Atsushi-kun.
[09:01] Ango
    I wouldn't stand a chance in a fight.
[09:10] Ango
    Atsushi-kun!
[09:13] Atsushi
    Ango-san...
[09:15] Atsushi
    I know where the page is.
[09:22] Ango
    Sigma told you where the page is?
[09:24] Atsushi
    Yes.
[09:25] Atsushi
    With his special ability.
[09:27] Atsushi
    I think it happened when he grabbed my hand.
[09:30] Ango
    Why?
[09:31] Atsushi
    I don't know.
[09:33] Atsushi
    Because he was betrayed by Fyodor?
[09:36] Atsushi
    Or...
[09:39] (Flashback) Atsushi
    You never knew your reason for being?
[09:42] (Flashback) Atsushi
    Those are words that can never
    be a person's last! It's wrong!
[09:47] (Flashback) Sigma
    You're a kind man.
[09:58] Ango
    I see.
[10:00] Ango
    That explains why Atsushi-kun collapsed.
[10:03] Ango
    When inundated with an overwhelming amount
    of information through a special ability,
[10:07] Ango
    the brain sometimes shuts down
    consciousness to focus on processing.
[10:11] Ango
    I've had it happen myself
    because of my own abilities.
[10:16] Kyouka
    So, where's the page?
[10:19] Atsushi
    The page is currently held by the leader
    of the Decay of Angels, Kamui.
[10:28] Ango
    Kamui?
[10:35] (Flashback) Jouno
    Isn't it about time?

[11:06] Kunikida
    Shit!
[11:10] Kyouka
    If we defeat him, will it solve the case?
[11:15] Atsushi
    Let's take him down. Ourselves.
[11:17] Lucy
    And where is he?
[11:20] Atsushi
    About that...
[11:21] Atsushi
    I don't know if it's because
    of the amount of information,
[11:23] Atsushi
    but I can't quite get a
    clear picture in my mind.
[11:25] Atsushi
    Ango-san, is there anything I can do?
[11:29] Ango
    Let's see...
[11:31] Ango
    This won't solve the underlying problem,
     but an external stimulus can help.
[11:34] Ango
    For example, some might process their memories
[11:38] Ango
    in response to being stabbed or punched.
[11:40] Lucy
    Pain...
[11:41] Lucy
    Like pinching his cheeks?
[11:43] Kyouka
    No, breathe on the back of his neck.
[11:45] Ango
    These girls are so protective.
[11:49] Ango
    How about this, then.
[11:51] Ango
    First, I'll use my ability to
    read Atsushi-kun's information.
[11:55] Ango
    Then, if you hurt me,
    my memories will be organized, and...
[11:58] Lucy
    That's it!
[11:59] Lucy
    I'll have Anne throw you against the wall.
[12:02] Kyouka
    I'll stab you in the calf.
[12:04] Ango
    Something about this doesn't
    sit right with me.
[12:06] Lucy
    Slam him against the floor?
[12:08] Ango
    Jab his eyes.
[12:09] Lucy
    Fling him around!
[12:10] Ango
    Kick him.
[12:16] Atsushi
    What was that?
[12:17] Atsushi
    Was it bloodlust?
[12:19] Atsushi
    Someone wants to kill me?
[12:22] Atsushi
    I see...
[12:23] Atsushi
    Kamui's information...
[12:26] Atsushi
    Ango-san, I know where Kamui-san is!
[12:29] Atsushi
    He's in the middle of an assassination!
[12:32] Atsushi
    His target is the Armed Detective Agency.

    He's going to wipe out

    I have a life-threatening illness that means

    Could I at least have my phone back?
[13:38] Katai
    No?
[13:40] Katai
    Oh, fine.
[13:47] Katai
    I want to help the Armed Detective Agency,
[13:49] Katai
    but they won't even let me out of my

    I see.
[14:36] Fukuzawa
    You're going to throw me off

[14:43] Fukuzawa
    I know who you are.

    I know you.

    The number you're thinking of...
[14:51] Dazai
    is 381,882, right?
[14:55] Fyodor
    Correct.
[14:56] Fyodor
    Your number is...
[14:59] Fyodor
    790,115?
[15:02] Dazai
    This sucks.
[15:03] Dazai
    The number guessing game is too easy.
[15:06] Fyodor
    Are you all right?
[15:08] Dazai
    About what?
[15:09] Fyodor
    I'm worried for the Detective Agency.
[15:12] Fyodor
    The Detective Agency was
    defeated at the Sky Casino.
[15:15] Fyodor
    Isn't there something you need to be doing?
[15:19] Dazai
    I'm bored over here.
[15:21] Dazai
    More so than you.
[15:23] Dazai
    Keeping an eye on you is about all I can do.
[15:25] Dazai
    And as long as I'm doing that,
    he can move freely.
[15:29] Fyodor
    Who can?
[15:31] Dazai
    Isn't it obvious?

[15:43] Rampo
    Boss successfully extracted!
[15:46] Rampo
    Man, sorry we had to be so rough.
[15:49] Rampo
    Better than the other members, though.
[15:52] Fukuzawa
    They're after the others, too, huh?
[15:55] Rampo
    Kamui's hand was devilishly sharp and swift.
[15:58] Rampo
    So to save time, I took the liberty of
    taking over his assassination plot.
[16:03] Rampo
    Long story short, the members who
    were being targeted are all safe.
[16:08] Fukuzawa
    But, Rampo... I was told that you
    were shot when this all began,
[16:12] Fukuzawa
    and that you had gone missing.
[16:14] Rampo
    There's only one possible
    reason I'd ever be in danger.
[16:18] Rampo
    And that's because it's more convenient
    for us if the enemy thinks I'm in danger.
[16:23] Rampo
    During the hostage situation,
[16:25] Rampo
    I was surrounded by police as
    part of the enemy conspiracy.
[16:35] (Flashback) Rampo
    Whoops, my bad.
[16:38] (Flashback) Rampo
    By the way, nice cape you've got there.
[16:40] (Flashback) Rampo
    Lemme borrow it for a bit.
[16:46] (Flashback) Rampo
    Until I feel like giving it back.
[16:49] Rampo
    I used the chaos of the initial
    investigation to escape their perimeter.
[16:54] Fukuzawa
    I see.
[16:57] Fukuzawa
    And then what did you do?
[16:59] Rampo
    I'm an elite detective.
[17:01] Rampo
    There's only one thing an
    elite detective ever does.
[17:04] Rampo
    Solve crimes.
[17:07] Rampo
    I figured out the assassination
    plot as part of my investigation,
[17:11] Rampo
    but to save all of our members,
    I needed more time to prepare.
[17:15] Rampo
    So I decided to rewrite
    the enemy's plan instead.
[17:20] Rampo
    The sniper rifle that was meant
     to take out Kunikida
[17:24] Rampo
    destroyed the electronic lock instead.
[17:26] Rampo
    I used knockout gas to get Kunikida out.
[17:35] Rampo
    For Yosano-san's rescue,
    I rigged the prison vehicle ahead of time.
[17:40] Rampo
    I swapped the engine out
    with an electric one.
[17:43] Rampo
    Electric motors make almost no noise.
[17:46] Rampo
    And as long as it's playing
    fake engine noises,
[17:50] Rampo
    no one notices the engine's
    been swapped out.
[17:53] Rampo
    The attacker had been planning to blow up
    the vehicle with a remote-controlled mine.
[17:56] Rampo
    I took the controller and set it off early.
[18:03] Rampo
    Of the four soldiers, two were
    ordered to investigate ahead,
[18:07] Rampo
    and the other two stood guard behind.
[18:09] Rampo
    No one was watching the vehicle.
[18:12] Rampo
    And then...
[18:13] Rampo
    I used a mirror to hide
    myself and get in the car.
[18:17] Rampo
    After that,
[18:19] Rampo
    I turned off the engine noise and
    quietly drove away onto a side-road.
[18:25] Rampo
    That's the trick behind Yosano-san's rescue.
[18:28] Rampo
    Now, lastly, how we saved Katai...
[18:31] Rampo
    This one was simple.
[18:33] Rampo
    I used an accomplice.
[18:35] Fukuzawa
    An accomplice?
[18:36] Poe
    Yup!
[18:37] Poe
    It is I!
[18:39] Rampo
    We displayed a novel Poe-kun
    wrote on the phone screen
[18:47] Rampo
    and took him into the novel world,
    where he would be safe.
[18:53] Poe
    I was also responsible for the sniping
    and for preparing the vehicle.
[18:56] Poe
    I was a huge asset!
[18:57] Rampo
    We don't have time for
    your gloating right now.
[18:59] Rampo
    Maybe next time.
[19:00] Rampo
    So anyway...
[19:02] Rampo
    Everyone's waiting for the boss' orders.
[19:05] Fukuzawa
    Then I shall issue an order.
[19:08] Fukuzawa
    Shut this damn plot down!
[19:12] Rampo
    That's what I was hoping to hear.
[19:16] Reporter
    Is anyone going to watch this
    stupid press conference?
[19:19] Reporter's Boss
    It's about the son of the KS Company's
    president and his suspected affair.
[19:23] Reporter's Boss
    It's the talk of the town.
[19:25] Reporter
    Who gives a damn?
[19:27] Reporter
    Look at the state of the world!
[19:30] Reporter
    Reporters around the world are freaking out
[19:32] Reporter
    about the Armed Detective
    Agency's terrorist attack.
[19:35] Reporter
    The UN even says it's going to create
[19:37] Reporter
    a counter-terrorism unit
    in response to the incident.
[19:40] Reporter's Boss
    What's your point?
[19:42] Reporter
    I noticed something.
[19:44] Reporter
    Of all the ceaseless coverage
    of the Detective Agency,
[19:47] Reporter
    there's one mystery that
    they aren't bringing up.
[19:49] Reporter's Boss
    And what's that?
[19:50] Reporter
    Their motive.
[19:52] Reporter
    The biggest mystery.
[19:53] Reporter
    The reason for their attacks.
[19:55] Reporter
    We have to get these criminals to fess up,
    and bring it to the public!
[19:58] Reporter
    Isn't that the whole reason
    we became journos?!
[20:06] Rampo
    Hey, do they not serve tea at these events?
[20:10] Journalist A
    T-T-T...
[20:12] Journalist A
    Terrorist!
SIGN    Municipal Police Headquarters
[20:15] Chief
    Everyone, check the TV!
[20:16] Agent A
    A live broadcast?
[20:18] Agent B
    That's near here!
[20:19] Agent C
    Why is the suspect doing this?
[20:21] Agent B
    The doors won't open!
[20:23] Agent C
    Are we hostages?!
[20:25] Reporter's Boss
    Come on. Let's get out of here.
[20:28] Reporter
    What is the reason behind
    your terror attacks?!
[20:31] Rampo
    Excellent question.
[20:37] Nikolai
    Huy!
[20:39] Nikolai
    What's upsy-daisy!
[20:40] Nikolai
    So, Armed Detective Agency...
[20:44] Rampo
    This is the message was delivered
[20:46] Rampo
    to the Detective Agency six afternoons ago.
[20:48] Rampo
    Now, what happened after this?
[20:51] Rampo
    As I'm sure you're aware...
[20:54] Rampo
    This happened.
[21:00] Rampo
    And the Detective Agency,
    who was there to help,
[21:03] Rampo
    was instead made out to be terrorists.
[21:06] Reporter
    Are you making excuses now?
[21:08] Reporter's Boss
    Cut it out! He'll kill us!
[21:11] Reporter
    Or do you have proof that you're innocent?
[21:13] Rampo
    I have proof.
[21:14] Rampo
    Right here.
[21:16] Rampo
    This morning, I sent a copy of this
    to every law enforcement agency.
[21:20] Rampo
    Fingerprints and hair lifted from the site.
[21:23] Rampo
    Changes in the hostage plans.
[21:24] Rampo
    Transaction records for the chainsaw.
[21:27] Rampo
    Evidence that contradicts the supposition
    that the Agency was behind the terror attack.
[21:32] Rampo
    And evidence that should exist but doesn't.
[21:34] Rampo
    I've documented all of it.
[21:38] Rampo
    Want one?
[21:39] Miura
    You! Where's that envelope?!
[21:42] Employee A
    D-Dunno.
[21:48] Miura
    Here.
[21:50] Miura
    Why is it in the garbage unopened?!
[21:53] Rampo
    The power of the page has made it so that
    no one believes in the Agency's innocence.
[21:58] Reporter
    The page?
[22:00] Rampo
    The page is a special sheet of paper
    that has the ability to amend reality.
[22:06] Rampo
    Everything written on
    that page becomes true.
[22:09] Rampo
    The actual attackers
    have written on the page
[22:11] Rampo
    "The Armed Detective Agency is behind
    the Decay of Angels case."
[22:16] Rampo
    "Law enforcement organizations"
[22:18] Rampo
    "do not question the fact that the
    Armed Detective Agency is guilty."
[22:22] Rampo
    The documents are probably
    in the trash about now.
[22:28] Rampo
    Okay, it should be about time now.
[22:35] Military Police F
    Everyone, hold still!
[22:42] Rampo
    I'll be off now.
[22:45] Rampo
    I want to say this to anyone in
    the police who are watching:
[22:48] Rampo
    Don't think about it based
    on your "position" or "job."
[22:51] Rampo
    Think with your soul.
[22:57] Reporter
    Think? About what?
[23:00] Rampo
    Twelve years.
[23:03] Rampo
    In the past twelve years,
    I've solved tens of thousands of cases.
[23:07] Rampo
    There are several officers in
     this room whose lives I've saved.
[23:13] Rampo
    Right?
[23:16] Rampo
    Think!
[23:18] Rampo
    If this excellent detective
    is a terrorist mastermind,
[23:21] Rampo
    would he be so stupid as to put
    himself on the wanted list?
[23:27] Rampo
    Look with your own eyes,
    and it should be obvious:
[23:31] Rampo
    It's actually quite easy to
    become an excellent detective.
