    Look with your own eyes,
    and it should be obvious:
[00:04] Rampo
    It's actually quite easy to
    become an excellent detective.

[00:23] Miura
    Hurry up, mister so-called
    excellent detective!
[00:24] Miura
    We're getting out of here!
[00:25] Rampo
    Hey, Minoura-kun.
[00:27] Rampo
    That took you a while.
[00:29] Miura
    I hate to admit you predicted all this,
    but either way, I'm here to help.
[00:35] Rampo
    Why?
[00:38] Miura
    I did what you said.
[00:40] Miura
    I trusted my soul.
[00:44] Military Police A
    Surrender!
[00:45] Military Police A
    You're surrounded!
[00:48] Military Police A
    Wretched terrorists...
[00:50] Military Police B
    You're done now.
[00:52] Miura
    Say, mister excellent detective...
[00:54] Miura
    You're right. The police
    of this nation are idiots.
[00:58] Miura
    But not all of us.
[01:05] Military Police A
    What are you doing?!
[01:06] Military Police B
    We're following our guts!
[01:09] Military Police C
    Protect the detective!
[01:14] Miura
    Do you have any idea what you've done?
[01:16] Miura
    You've split the police force into two!
[01:19] Rampo
    Yup, that's right.
[01:21] Rampo
    I split them into the correct police
    and the misguided police.
[01:24] Miura
    So you knew that some number of officers
    would trust your righteousness and intellect
[01:28] Miura
    and throw down their lives for you?
[01:34] Rampo
    Actually...
[01:36] Rampo
    I had no way of knowing if they'd believe me.
[01:43] Miura
    Well, shit.
[01:45] Miura
    Turns out you're quite the idiot, too.
[03:26] Rampo
    He's all yours, Kunikida.
[03:31] Lucy
    Oh, dear. Look how happy he is.
[03:33] Lucy
    I guess I can't blame him.
[03:35] Lucy
    He's been struggling all on his own.
[03:38] Lucy
    You can go in for the hug, too.
[03:41] Kyouka
    I'm holding back.
[03:45] Atsushi
    Kunikida-san!
[03:46] Atsushi
    Your hands!
[03:47] Yosano
    Relax.
[03:50] Yosano
    I'll take care of it.
[03:53] Rampo
    That's the whole point of having
    the whole Agency back together.
[03:58] Kunikida
    Yosano-san is here for us when we're injured.
[04:00] Kunikida
    Rampo-san is here for us when
    we're captured by the enemy.
[04:03] Kunikida
    This organization, the Detective Agency,
[04:06] Kunikida
    brings out strengths in us we could
     never access on our own.
[04:09] Rampo
    Right.
[04:10] Rampo
    The enemy knew that, too,
[04:12] Rampo
    which is why they caused the incident right
    as the Agency members were split up.
[04:17] Atsushi
    They aren't going to get their
    way anymore, though, are they?
[04:21] Rampo
    It's not over yet.
[04:24] Rampo
    You two, look for Kenji and Tanizaki.
[04:27] Yosano
    What will you do?
[04:29] Rampo
    What do you think?

    I'm doing the funnest part of the job.
[04:36] Ambassador A
    Fukuchi-dono!
[04:38] Ambassador A
    On behalf of the United Nations,
    I'm begging you...
[04:42] Ambassador A
    Please help us build our
    counter-terrorism organization.
[04:49] Chairperson
    Why won't he say anything?
[04:52] Ambassador A
    Is he offended by our disrespectful request?
SIGN    Blorgh
[05:03] Ambassador A
    A hangover?
[05:05] Tetchou
    Indeed.
[05:06] Tetchou
    Last night, he opened two bottles of Tyrant,
    and then proceeded to go barhopping.
[05:12] Tetchou
    If not for the tamagozake I prepared for him,
[05:15] Tetchou
    he would have been unable to speak,
    let alone attend.
[05:20] Fukuchi
    To be honest, I think half of my nausea
    is because of that tamagozake.
[05:26] Fukuchi
    What kind of egg did you make it with, anyway?
[05:28] Tetchou
    Frog eggs.
SIGN    Blorf
[05:35] Fukuchi
    Holy smokes, that was rough.
[05:38] Fukuchi
    I was seeing an entire
    galaxy's worth of stars.
[05:41] Fukuchi
    Oh, please, have a seat.
[05:44] Chairperson
    Fukuchi-dono, have you had a chance to
    consider the matter we contacted you about?
[05:51] Fukuchi
    The establishment of a
    counter-terrorism organization?
[05:54] Chairperson
    Fukuchi-dono, when do you
    suppose a life ends?
[05:59] Chairperson
    It's when it becomes unable
    to adapt to change.
[06:03] Chairperson
    Like the dinosaurs who were wiped out by the
    climate change caused by a meteorite impact,
[06:08] Chairperson
    the world is on the brink of
    being changed by terrorism.
[06:12] Chairperson
    If your Hunting Dogs hadn't intervened
    during the Sky Casino incident,
[06:17] Chairperson
    the world may well have ended.
[06:19] Fukuchi
    And?
[06:21] Chairperson
    We will unite justice throughout the world.
[06:24] Chairperson
    They will be unaffiliated with any nation.
[06:26] Chairperson
    They will be free of any baggage.
[06:29] Chairperson
    A military police force with
    the entire planet as its jurisdiction.
[06:32] Chairperson
    That is what we will create.
[06:35] Fukuchi
    Dreams are always beautiful, aren't they?
[06:37] Chairperson
    No, this is no dream.
[06:40] Chairperson
    We even have a special weapon to that end.
[06:43] Fukuchi
    A special weapon?
[06:45] Chairperson
    You.
[06:47] Chairperson
    You must command that army.
[06:50] Chairperson
    Let us begin by destroying the
    Armed Detective Agency terrorist group.
[06:55] Fukuchi
    I don't like it.
[06:56] Chairperson
    H-How so?
[06:58] Chairperson
    If there's anything you disagree with,
    we can readjust.
[07:02] Fukuchi
    The Detective Agency? Terrorists?
[07:04] Fukuchi
    Are you still spouting such nonsense?
[07:07] Fukuchi
    I wouldn't mind taking on the project,
     but on one condition.
[07:11] Fukuchi
    I'll have the priorities of the
    investigation changed.

    That concludes my description of the
    Supernational Armed Security Force.
[07:22] Fukuchi
    We are at war.
[07:24] Fukuchi
    Our war against terrorists
    has already begun.
[07:27] Fukuchi
    I ask for your vote in favor.
[07:33] Ambassador B
    A borderless counter-terrorist army?
[07:35] Ambassador C
    Ridiculous.
[07:36] Ambassador D
    They could never make it work.
[07:38] Ambassador E
    This is nonsense.
[07:39] Ambassador F
    Nothing but an excuse to pad the
    pockets of military industries.
[07:42] Ambassador G
    We're better off protecting our own nations.
[07:50] Chairperson
    Please join me, everyone, in welcoming
    the commander of the new organization.
[08:11] Ambassador C
    No... It can't be.
[08:13] Ambassador B
    It's really him.
[08:14] Ambassador D
    The real Fukuchi Ouchi.
[08:16] Ambassador E
    Such presence!
[08:18] Ambassador H
    Magnificent!
[08:19] Ambassador H
    I'm so moved!
[08:20] Ambassador H
    To think I'd be breathing the
    same air as that legend of a man!
[08:25] Ambassador H
    It's thanks to you that we are all alive.
[08:27] Ambassador H
    Thanks to the work of the legendary samurai!

[08:31] [SONG] Text
    Adapted into three films!
[08:32] Fukuchi
    Those films are heavily dramatized.
[08:35] Ambassador H
    The people here are all
    versed in defense secrets.
[08:38] Ambassador H
    We are all aware that your service
    is more than mere fairy tales.
[08:43] Ambassador H
    The elimination of hundreds
    of thousands of subjects
[08:46] Ambassador H
    of the werecreature experiments
    in the Republic of Kenia.
[08:49] Ambassador H
    The prevention of the migrant massacre at
    the hands of the Amil regime in Africa.
[08:53] Ambassador H
    And the prevention of the spread of the
    vampire contagion in Eastern Europe.
[08:57] Ambassador H
    Any one of these could have
    disrupted the world order.
[09:03] Ambassador H
    The world owes you more
     than it could ever repay.
[09:08] Fukuchi
    Then may I ask for just
    three minutes of your time?
[09:12] Ambassador H
    Of course.
[09:14] Ambassador H
    But first...
[09:15] Ambassador H
    Please autograph this!
[09:17] Ambassador D
    For me, too!
[09:18] Ambassador C
    May I take a photo with you?
[09:24] Fukuchi
    At first, I declined to be involved
[09:28] Fukuchi
    in establishing a
    defense force for humanity,
[09:33] Fukuchi
    because I was hungover and could hardly
    make sense of what was being said to me.
[09:37] Chairperson
    He wasn't listening?
[09:40] Fukuchi
    So, why am I standing here now?
[09:43] Fukuchi
    Partly because the medication from
    the pharmacy was so effective.
[09:49] Fukuchi
    And partly because humanity
    will be doomed otherwise.
[09:57] Fukuchi
    We are already losing.
[10:00] Fukuchi
    You don't appear to have even
    considered the possibility
[10:03] Fukuchi
    that some of your plentiful wallets are,
    in fact, filled with bombs.
[10:10] Fukuchi
    Our existing frameworks can no longer
    protect the safety of the world.
[10:15] Fukuchi
    Technological progress and the application
    of special abilities in crime;
[10:19] Fukuchi
    these are the two forces bringing
    about never-before-seen evil.
[10:24] Fukuchi
    What will you be doing on the eve of
    the world's destruction at the hands
[10:27] Fukuchi
    of the new-age terrorist organization
    that is the Decay of Angels?
[10:31] Fukuchi
    Will you spend your last
    moments enjoying a feast?
[10:35] Fukuchi
    No!
[10:36] Fukuchi
    You will resist!
[10:38] Fukuchi
    The people have chosen you to represent
    them because of your abilities!
[10:43] Fukuchi
    Am I mistaken?
[10:45] Ambassador B
    He's right.
[10:47] Ambassador D
    That's right!
[10:48] Fukuchi
    Terrorism in this new age calls for
    a brand new kind of organization.
[10:53] Fukuchi
    The chairperson has called this organization
    the Supernational Armed Security Force.
[10:58] Fukuchi
    But that's rather, well...
[11:02] Fukuchi
    Lame.
[11:04] Fukuchi
    I've already given it another name.
[11:08] Fukuchi
    The Army of Mankind.
[11:10] Fukuchi
    A spear against the evils of this world!
[11:17] Fukuchi
    I look forward to your yes vote
    on the coming resolution.
[11:29] Rampo
    Heya!
[11:31] Rampo
    I'm that terrorist everyone's talking about.
[11:38] Rampo
    The phone's right there
     if you're gonna report me.
[11:46] Fukuchi
    Security?
[11:48] Fukuchi
    Don't let anyone in for
    the next five minutes.
[11:50] Rampo
    Five minutes?
[11:52] Fukuchi
    That's right.
[11:53] Fukuchi
    Do you need more time to convince me?
[11:55] Rampo
    Of course not.
[11:57] Rampo
    It'll be easy.
[12:08] Rampo
    It's been a while, huh?
[12:10] Fukuchi
    You haven't changed at all, boy.
[12:13] Fukuchi
    You're almost the same as
    the first time I met you.
[12:16] Rampo
    That was at the Detective Agency's
    founding ceremony, wasn't it?
[12:21] Rampo
    That was such a mess.
[12:23] Rampo
    You came in drunk,
    made a huge mess of the venue,
[12:27] Rampo
    and peed on the brand new Agency banner.
[12:30] Rampo
    That was...
[12:31] Fukuchi
    Sorry.
[12:32] Fukuchi
    I apologize for that.
[12:34] Rampo
    After that, the president told me...
[12:37] (Flashback) Fukuzawa
    Gen'ichiro and I go way back.
[12:39] (Flashback) Fukuzawa
    I trust that man more than anyone.
[12:43] (Flashback) Fukuzawa
    He must be a little lonely,
    now that I've found my own path.
[12:47] Rampo
    That's what he said.
[12:49] Rampo
    What could I do after the
    president told me that?
[12:55] Rampo
    I came here because the president
    asked me to meet you.
[13:00] Rampo
    The Decay of Angels is intent on
    destroying the state in six days.
[13:04] Rampo
    Before that, we need to defeat their
    leader, Kamui, and retrieve the page.
[13:09] Rampo
    To that end, as the man who has the
     whole world on his side, I need your help.
[13:14] Rampo
    That's why I'm joining forces with you.
[13:16] Rampo
    That's the only way we can defeat them.
[13:19] Fukuchi
    I see.
[13:20] Fukuchi
    I thought it was odd that
    you hadn't shown up yet.
[13:24] Fukuchi
    You were waiting for the
    speech today, weren't you?
[13:27] Rampo
    You can think what you'd like.
[13:29] Rampo
    Well? What's your answer?
[13:30] Rampo
    Yes or no?
[13:33] Fukuchi
    Have you let your self-proclaimed title of
    "excellent detective" get to your head?
[13:39] Fukuchi
    I was expecting you'd have the rhetoric
    to sway me at least a little.
[13:45] Fukuchi
    How are you so certain that I won't
    strike you down on the spot,
[13:48] Fukuchi
    having come armed merely
    with a plea to be believed?
[13:51] Rampo
    I'm not certain at all.
[13:53] Rampo
    I could completely deduce your response,
[13:58] Rampo
    but I won't.
[13:59] Rampo
    I could psychologically manipulate
    you into cooperating with me,
[14:05] Rampo
    but I won't.
[14:06] Rampo
    All I'll do is trust,
[14:09] Rampo
    because the president said quite simply...
[14:13] (Flashback) Fukuzawa
    I trust Fukuchi.
[14:16] Rampo
    And nothing else.
[14:19] Rampo
    You may be guided by justice,
    but I'm guided by the president.
[14:27] Rampo
    That's why I trust you, too.
[14:37] Fukuchi
    Fukuzawa's found some great men for himself.
[14:41] Fukuchi
    Well, what's the plan?

[14:44] Rampo
    First, we leave the island.

    You were able to convince him?
[14:53] Rampo
    Of course!
[14:55] Rampo
    Are you prepared for the smuggling?
[14:56] Atsushi
    As you asked.
[14:58] Atsushi
    There is no surveillance in the area.
[15:00] Atsushi
    We're ready to board.
[15:01] Rampo
    All right!
[15:08] Atsushi
    That's Fukuchi Ouchi...
[15:10] Atsushi
    The leader of the Hunting Dogs,
    synonymous with world justice.
[15:15] Atsushi
    The Detective Agency's future hinges
    on whether he's on our side or not.
[15:19] Atsushi
    We have to be careful not to offend him.
[15:25] Rampo
    What's with that sad sit?!
[15:27] Fukuchi
    We don't want to get caught.
[15:29] Fukuchi
    Hurry up and hide with us!
[15:30] Rampo
    No way!
[15:31] Rampo
    They call you a hero, but you're
    just a lame, middle-aged man.
[15:35] Fukuchi
    The guards on the ship are state
    police from all over the world.
[15:38] Fukuchi
    If they see a criminal,
    they'll shoot on sight.
[15:42] Fukuchi
    Also, don't call me a middle-aged man!
[15:44] Rampo
    You are middle-aged, though.
[15:46] Fukuchi
    I'm still young!
[15:49] Atsushi
    Come on, Rampo-san!
[15:51] Atsushi
    He's a precious ally!
[15:53] Atsushi
    Couldn't you be more
    careful with your words?
[15:54] Fukuchi
    It's fine.
[15:56] Fukuchi
    This boy is just jealous.
[15:59] Fukuchi
    It's been thirteen years
    since the boy met Fukuzawa.
[16:02] Fukuchi
    That's still not even half the time
    Fukuzawa and I have known each other.
[16:06] Fukuchi
    He's jealous of that fact.
[16:09] Fukuchi
    He's upset that he can't surpass me.
[16:12] Rampo
    I don't remember anything about that.
[16:15] Fukuchi
    With your memory? There's no way.
[16:18] Rampo
    Also, stop calling me boy!
[16:20] Fukuchi
    But you're a boy, boy.
[16:21] Atsushi
    I've never seen this side of Rampo-san.
[16:21] Rampo
    Shut up!
[16:22] Rampo
    Shut up! Shut up!
[16:26] Atsushi
    Who is Kamui, this grand mastermind?
[16:32] Rampo
    Slow down.
[16:33] Rampo
    This isn't like a murder case, where it's
    over as soon as we know who did it.
[16:39] Rampo
    We have to be cautious.
[16:40] Atsushi
    But you have that thing, don't you?
[16:46] Rampo
    Are you trying to get me to show you this?
[16:49] Rampo
    I dunno...

    Who is Kamui?
[17:25] Rampo
    Kamui uses Fyodor and Nikolai as his pawns.
[17:29] Rampo
    That takes a capable, charismatic person.
[17:33] Rampo
    Given that they chose the Detective Agency
    as the victim of the false charge,
[17:37] Rampo
    they have some sort of connection to the Agency.
[17:38] Rampo
    Or they may be directly involved.
SIGN    Kamui made extraordinary profits from the series of terrorist attacks.
[17:41] Rampo
    Kamui made extraordinary profits

SIGN    One man fits the description.
SIGN    His name...
[17:59] Rampo
    I have no proof...
[18:01] Rampo
    But it makes sense.
[18:02] Rampo
    But what's his motivation?
[18:04] (Flashback) Fukuchi
    He must be a little lonely,
    now that I've found my own path.
[18:09] Rampo
    I see...
[18:11] Rampo
    So this is your path.
[18:17] Rampo
    What can I do?
[18:18] Rampo
    He's realized that I've realized.
[18:21] Rampo
    I only have a few seconds.

    Rampo-san?
[18:34] Atsushi
    A smoke flare?
[18:41] (Flashback) Rampo
    You may be guided by justice,
    but I'm guided by the president.
[18:46] (Flashback) Rampo
    That's why I trust you, too.
[18:49] Rampo
    Atsushi...
[18:52] Rampo
    I'm sorry.
[18:53] Rampo
    I messed up.
[19:01] Rampo
    Run, Atsushi!
[19:02] Rampo
    You don't stand a chance!
[19:05] Rampo
    That's the detective novel by Poe-san that
    Rampo-san keeps on him as an escape route.
[19:10] Rampo
    And one more thing...
[19:12] Rampo
    Kamui's special ability
    increases his weapon's...
[19:24] Fukuchi
    So the boy saw through me.
[19:27] Fukuchi
    During my time as a military infiltrator,
    they used to call me the hundred-faced man.
[19:33] Fukuchi
    I must be getting old.
[19:35] Atsushi
    You're Kamui.
[19:36] Fukuchi
    Something like that.
[19:38] Fukuchi
    It's not healthy to be taking on
    a totally different personality.
[19:43] Fukuchi
    Though...
[19:46] Fukuchi
    I only need to keep it
    up for another six days.
[19:48] Atsushi
    Why?!
[19:49] Atsushi
    You're synonymous with justice.
[19:51] Atsushi
    Weren't you the president's close friend?
[19:53] Fukuchi
    Close friend, huh?
[19:56] Fukuchi
    Yeah. He's my close friend, all right.
[19:59] Fukuchi
    But Fukuzawa has never
     been to a warzone.
[20:06] Fukuchi
    That's how our paths diverged.
[20:08] Fukuchi
    Forever.
[20:12] Fukuchi
    Never mind that. Are you sure, were-boy?
[20:15] Fukuchi
    The coast guard will side
    with me once we dock.
[20:20] Fukuchi
    You have two options right now:
    to fight or to run.
[20:25] Fukuchi
    Neither will be easy.
[20:27] Fukuchi
    Now that you know who I am,
    I can't let you leave alive.
[20:32] Fukuchi
    I can at least simplify your
    circumstances for you.
[20:36] Atsushi
    That's...
[20:37] Fukuchi
    The page.
[20:39] Fukuchi
    The reality amendment device.
[20:41] Fukuchi
    The root of all that's happening.
[20:43] Fukuchi
    Take it from me, and everything
    will return to normal.
[20:46] Fukuchi
    The Agency will be saved.
[20:50] Fukuchi
    The passengers have caught on.
[20:52] Fukuchi
    It won't be long before security arrives.
[20:55] Atsushi
    What do I do?
[20:57] Atsushi
    If I win, everything will be solved.
[20:59] Atsushi
    But if I lose, Rampo-san and I will die.
[21:03] (Flashback) Rampo
    Run, Atsushi!
[21:05] (Flashback) Rampo
    You don't stand a chance!
[21:07] Atsushi
    But even if I run, he'll catch me.
[21:10] Atsushi
    So...
[21:13] Atsushi
    I can only make a way forward by fighting.
[21:17] Fukuchi
    You've put on the face of a warrior.
[21:20] Atsushi
    More than anything, this man
    ruined the Detective Agency.
[21:23] Atsushi
    I can't forgive him!
[21:24] Fukuchi
    By the way, how will you
    fight with that leg?
[21:31] Atsushi
    When did he cut it?
[21:33] Fukuchi
    Why are you surprised?
[21:35] Fukuchi
    The boy told you what my ability is.
[21:40] (Flashback) Rampo
    And one more thing...
[21:42] (Flashback) Rampo
    Kamui's special ability increases the power
    of any weapon he uses a hundredfold.
[21:48] Fukuchi
    Get up.
[21:49] Fukuchi
    Compared to the ordeals in my autobiography,
    that isn't even a scrape.
[21:59] Fukuchi
    Ah.
[22:01] Fukuchi
    The tiger's regenerative ability.
[22:03] Fukuchi
    I'm impressed.
[22:05] Fukuchi
    Would your head grow back if I cut it off?
SIGN    Fear
[22:13] Atsushi
    I'm scared.
[22:16] Atsushi
    I'm not afraid of the enemy.
[22:18] Atsushi
    I'm not afraid of pain.
SIGN    I'm afraid
[22:23] Atsushi
    I'm afraid of being alone.
SIGN    of being alone
[22:27] Atsushi
    I was always alone in the orphanage.
[22:30] Atsushi
    But now, I'm so afraid of loneliness.
[22:35] Atsushi
    The Detective Agency members were separated
    because of the Decay of Angels incident.
[22:39] Atsushi
    I thought I was alone.
[22:45] Atsushi
    But Kyouka-chan was beside me.
[22:48] Atsushi
    And then, Francis, Ango-san,
    and Lucy-chan helped me.
[22:55] Atsushi
    But now, I'm really alone.
[22:59] Atsushi
    Somebody, anybody, please,
    fight alongside me.
SIGN    Somebody, anybody...
[23:06] Passenger A
    What's that noise on the
    other side of the deck?
[23:08] Passenger B
    Why is there smoke?
[23:12] Passenger C
    Let's go.
[23:13] Passenger D
    We should call security.
[23:22] Akutagawa
    A smoke flare, huh?
[23:32] Akutagawa
    The impossible prophecy has come true.
