SIGN    Azure Messenger Bomb Threat Incident 
     First Investigation Meeting 
     Armed Detective Agency Conference Room
[00:03] Kuni
    At present, we have an unidentified
    criminal organization
[00:06] Kuni
    threatening to detonate a large
    bomb in a metropolitan area
[00:09] Kuni
    and launch a smear campaign
    against the Agency.
[00:12] Yosano
    I know the Agency's between
    a rock and a hard place.
[00:15] Yosano
    Tell us more about the bomb.
[00:18] Kuni
    This is the message left
    behind by the perpetrator.
[00:22] Kuni
    I'll read it now.
[00:23] Kuni
    "Greetings, I hope your
    agency is faring well."
[00:28] Kuni
    "Forgive my impudence, but I have placed a bomb"
[00:32] Kuni
    "capable of causing mass destruction in a
    certain location here in Yokohama City."
[00:36] Kuni
    "To secure the citizens' safety,"
[00:39] Kuni
    "I request that you locate and disarm
    the bomb at your earliest convenience."
[00:44] Kuni
    "You have until sundown."
[00:46] Kuni
    "I have faith in your abilities."
[00:48] Kuni
    "Respectfully, the Azure Messenger."
[00:50] Fuku
    Who could the Azure Messenger be?
[00:53] Kuni
    We don't know as of yet.
[00:55] Yosano
    So it's all rigged so that
    if the bomb detonates,
[00:58] Yosano
    word of the Agency's failure
    will spread like wildfire.
[01:02] Yosano
    The Agency can weather sticks and stones,
[01:06] Yosano
    but this type of attack would hit us hard.
[01:10] Haruno
    Since yesterday, the office staff have
    been searching for plausible locations,
[01:14] Haruno
    but there are too many possibilities.
[01:16] Kenji
    Hey.
[01:17] Kenji
    Are we still unable to reach Rampo-san?
[01:20] Haruno
    It seems the case in Kyuushuu
    is coming to a head.
[01:23] Haruno
    I've requested he contact us as
    soon as the criminal is caught, but...
[01:27] Fuku
    Any further information
    from that taxi driver?
[01:30] Kuni
    He denies any knowledge of the bomb.
[01:33] Kuni
    He wouldn't have it in him
    to blow up Yokohama itself.
[01:37] Fuku
    Listen, all!
[01:39] Fuku
    This case is a cowardly act using information
     to attack the Armed Detective Agency.
[01:44] Fuku
    We have two objectives:
[01:46] Fuku
    uncover the Azure Messenger, the instigator,
[01:49] Fuku
    and disarm the bomb.
[01:51] Fuku
    The bomb takes priority due
    to its time-sensitive nature.
[01:54] Fuku
    If we cannot find the
    bomb and lives are lost,
[01:58] Fuku
    we no longer have the right to call
    ourselves a detective agency.
[02:02] Fuku
    Think of this mission as a fight for
    the Agency's existence and pride.
[02:14] Roku
    What time do you think
    it is, idiot four-eyes?!
[02:17] Kuni
    You're the only one I know
    who's still sleeping at 9:00 a.m.
[02:20] Kuni
    Do you think you can find the Azure Messenger,
     the one who sent us that message?
[02:24] Roku
    Aren't you calling because you had
    something else you wanted to ask me?
[02:29] Kuni
    So you know everything.
[02:31] Roku
    I only know what I actually know.
[02:34] Kuni
    I want to ask you about tracing
    the bomb-building equipment.
[02:37] Kuni
    I'll send you the shipping manifest.
[02:39] Roku
    A bomb?
[02:40] Roku
    Things are looking up for you guys.
[02:41] Kuni
    Cut the small talk and get cracking.
[02:44] Roku
    Oh?
[02:45] Kuni
    This is to save lives.
[02:48] Kuni
    You may be regularly indulging
    in illicit activities,
[02:51] Kuni
    but you should make yourself useful
    to society sometimes.
[02:53] Roku
    Get off your high horse.
[02:55] Roku
    You're not my dad.
[03:01] Kuni
    No...
SIGN    Episode 7: Love for the Disease Called Ideals
[03:04] Kuni
    I can never be your father.
[03:08] Nobuko
    Are you sure about this?
[03:10] Nobuko
    The Agency seemed hectic
    due to the bomb threat.
[03:14] Nobuko
    Kunikida-sama seemed very busy, as well.
[03:17] Dazai
    Kunikida-kun is a workhorse.
[03:20] Dazai
    After all, he always spends two
    hours before going to sleep
[03:23] Dazai
    reviewing and revising his notes.
[03:24] Dazai
    I doubt I could stand doing
    that for two minutes.
[03:26] Dazai
    Maybe he's got some solider ants
    working for him in his brain—
[03:30] Dazai
    Oh, I didn't know you
    were here, Kunikida-kun.
[03:32] Kuni
    How could you ditch the
    meeting during an emergency
[03:34] Kuni
    and go on a fancy afternoon date?
[03:37] Dazai
    Are you jealous of the fancy date?
[03:40] Kuni
    I'm not!
[03:40] Naka
    So he is.
[03:42] Dazai
    She's a victim who was nearly killed.
[03:46] Dazai
    Ensuring her safety and tending
    to her psychological well-being
[03:49] Dazai
    is an important and urgent duty
    for the Agency, wouldn't you say?
[03:53] Kuni
    Why are you, the poster child for sloth and
     irresponsibility, a good fit for the task?
[03:58] Kuni
    Besides, given her good looks,
[04:01] Kuni
    I'd assume she has a boyfriend at least.
[04:03] Dazai
    Apparently, they broke up recently.
[04:07] Dazai
    That's why, Kunikida-kun,
[04:08] Dazai
    I say you can do this!
[04:09] Kuni
    Listen, Dazai!
[04:11] Kuni
    I came here because you skipped
    out on the morning meeting
[04:15] Kuni
    and I need to tell you what's going on.
[04:17] Dazai
    I know what's going on.
[04:20] Dazai
    The goal of the Azure Messenger
     who set the bomb
[04:23] Dazai
    is to crush the Agency.
[04:25] Nobuko
    Um...
[04:26] Nobuko
    Are you sure an outsider like
    me should be hearing this?
[04:31] Naka
    Not really...
[04:32] Dazai
    Sasaki-san's a person of
    interest in this case.
[04:34] Dazai
    There's no issue here.
[04:35] Naka
    What?
[04:36] Dazai
    Sasaki-san, what's the class you
    teach at the university again?
[04:40] Nobuko
    Social psychology.
[04:41] Dazai
    That's great.
[04:43] Dazai
    I'd love to hear what you
    think about this case.
[04:47] Nobuko
    About the Azure Messenger...
[04:51] Nobuko
    It may have something to
    do with the Azure King
[04:54] Nobuko
    in the notorious Azure
    Flag Terrorist incident.
[04:57] Dazai
    So you think that, as well.
[04:59] Nobuko
    It could very well be the
    Azure King himself.
[05:02] Nobuko
    It's said that he blew himself up after
    being cornered by the police, but...
[05:06] Nobuko
    it's possible he faked his death
[05:08] Nobuko
    and is still alive.
[05:10] AK
    This world is incomplete.
[05:13] AK
    One may grieve or pray,
[05:14] AK
    but people still die from
    accidental circumstance,
[05:16] AK
    and evil goes unpunished to
    flourish freely in this world.
[05:20] Nobuko
    A former official,
[05:22] Nobuko
    the Azure King set off a bomb in a
    government facility and issued a statement.
[05:26] Nobuko
    His targets included killers whose cases were
    dropped due to incompetent prosecutors,
[05:30] Nobuko
    as well as diet members who were engaged in
    political corruption on a global scale...
[05:35] Nobuko
    All dangerous criminals untouchable by law.
[05:37] AK
    Then I shall desire the ideal world.
[05:41] AK
    It will be built not by
    the divine hand of God
[05:43] AK
    but by our own bloodied fingers...
[05:48] Naka
    But if the Azure King is alive...
[05:51] Naka
    why would he attack the Agency like this?
[05:54] Nobuko
    I have no idea.
[05:55] Dazai
    Well, the one who backed the
    Azure King into a corner
[05:58] Dazai
    is Kunikida-kun, who located his hideout.
[06:01] Dazai
    I see.
[06:03] Dazai
    Kunikida-kun is the target
    of vengeance here.
[06:05] Kuni
    The terrorist's death was confirmed by the
    military police after forensic analysis.
[06:11] Kuni
    There's no doubting it.
[06:12] Dazai
    Either way,
[06:13] Dazai
    you should stay on your guard
    until you figure out who it is.
[06:17] Dazai
    We'll need to hide Sasaki-san
    somewhere safe, as well.
[06:19] Kuni
    That I will not allow, Dazai!
[06:21] Dazai
    What do you mean?
[06:23] Kuni
    You think you can keep a lady in your room
[06:25] Kuni
    in the name of personal safety?
[06:27] Kuni
    And day and night, do such
    and such unthinkable things?!
[06:29] Dazai
    Nothing like what you're imagining
     is happening, though.
[06:31] Kuni
    Shame on you!
[06:32] Kuni
    Huh?
[06:33] Dazai
    When I first let her stay,
[06:35] Dazai
    I slept in an adjoining room
[06:37] Dazai
    and didn't lay a finger on her, of course.
[06:39] Dazai
    Well, I knew you misunderstood,
[06:43] Dazai
    but I thought it was funny
    so I didn't correct you.
[06:45] Naka
    I really wonder why these two are partners.
[06:51] Dazai
    Kunikida-kun seems to like Sasaki-san a lot.
[06:55] Dazai
    Sasaki-san, what type of man do you like?
[06:58] Nabuko
    T-Type?
[07:00] Nabuko
    It would be presumptuous of me to
    even have such a thing in mind...
[07:06] Nabuko
    But... I do think it is wonderful when
    a man strongly believes in an ideal
[07:11] Nabuko
    and pours his heart and soul into it.
[07:14] Dazai
    That's totally Kunikida-kun.
[07:17] Dazai
    Okay, the two of you can pick up the rest.
[07:19] Kuni
    Hey, Dazai!
[07:20] Kuni
    D-D-Don't go making assumptions!
[07:22] Dazai
    Kunikida-kun, you're an open book.
[07:25] Naka
    Yeah...
[07:26] Dazai
    He may be a bit twisted,
[07:29] Dazai
    but as you can see, he is a high-minded
    individual who lives and breathes for his ideals.
[07:33] Dazai
    Although, perhaps for that reason,
    his ideal woman is a bit of a challenge.
SIGN    Ideal
[07:37] Dazai
    Would you like to take a look?
[07:39] Kuni
    Bastard, not again! When did you—
[07:42] Kuni
    Give it back!
[07:45] Nobuko
    Kunikida-sama...
[07:46] Kuni
    Yes?
[07:48] Nobuko
    This goes too far.
[07:51] Naka
    Kunikida-san's crushed.
[07:58] [Messenger] Sign 0759
    From: Haruno Kirako
     Subject: Received Word from Rampo-san
     Atsushi-kun,
     We heard back from Rampo-san!
    His case is finished, so he has time to help us.
     Haruno Kirako
[07:59] Naka
    We finally heard from Rampo-san.
[08:03] Naka
    
[08:13] Kuni
    So we know where the bomb is?
[08:15] [Messenger] Sign 0819
    Edogawa 
    Rampo
[08:16] Rampo
    And here I was hoping to sightsee in Kyuushuu
[08:19] Rampo
    and eat a hot springs egg now
    that I solved my case.
[08:22] Rampo
    You all disappoint me.
[08:24] Rampo
    You can't conduct a single
    investigation properly without me.
[08:27] Dazai
    We only have until sundown.
[08:29] Dazai
    Please tell us the location.
[08:31] Naka
    A department store?
[08:32] Naka
    A school?
[08:33] Naka
    Or a train station?
[08:34] Naka
    Any one of these could produce
    casualties in the hundreds.
[08:37] Naka
    Where's the bomb?
[08:40] Rampo
    The fishing tackle store.
[08:41] Naka
    Huh?
[08:42] Rampo
    The bomb was set in a fishing
    tackle store in Negishi.
[08:45] Dazai
    Oh, I see.
[08:48] Dazai
    You're amazing, Rampo-san.
[08:50] Naka
    But why a fishing tackle store?
[08:53] Dazai
    Do we have a map?
[08:54] Kuni
    Behind the seat.
[08:56] Dazai
    Page 97.
[08:58] Naka
    Page 97, okay...
[09:01] Naka
    Oh.
[09:02] Dazai
    The terrorist's target is
    the petrochemical complex.
[09:05] Kuni
    I see.
[09:06] Kuni
    I don't know why I didn't realize it.
[09:08] Dazai
    Yokohama is one of Japan's major port towns.
[09:12] Dazai
    Here, there are many large facilities
    that store oil and gas.
[09:16] Dazai
    If an explosion were to occur close enough
    to ignite the storage tanks...
[09:22] Dazai
    the entire port will be
    engulfed in flames.
[09:26] Dazai
    However, infiltrating a
    facility of that nature
[09:30] Dazai
    will require getting past
    pretty good security.
[09:33] Dazai
    The easiest approach would
    be to put a bomb in a car,
[09:36] Dazai
    and leave the car near
    one of the facilities.
[09:39] Kuni
    So, considering the effective range of
    a bomb that can be loaded into a car...
[09:43] Kuni
    That fishing tackle store is the one
    place that checks all the boxes.
[09:49] Dazai
    Bingo.
[10:01] Dazai
    The military police's bomb disposal
    squad has found the bomb,
[10:05] Dazai
    but the bomb can't be moved
    due to the timer device.
[10:07] Dazai
    They say it'll be difficult
    to disarm it by sundown.
[10:11] Dazai
    We're having the nearby residents evacuate,
[10:13] Dazai
    but we're not sure there's enough time.
[10:15] Naka
    But...
[10:16] Dazai
    However, the bomb's set to deactivate
    if we can transmit a stop signal.
[10:22] Kuni
    We have to do something.
[10:27] Naka
    Wh-What's going on?!
[10:28] Kuni
    A phone call.
[10:29] Naka
    Huh?
[10:30] Kuni
    Hello?
[10:31] Roku
    Hey, Four-Eyes, is now a good time?
[10:33] Kuni
    Rokuzou?
[10:34] Naka
    Um...
[10:34] Kuni
    What is it?
[10:35] Naka
    I feel we're causing a traffic jam...
[10:40] Naka
    Hello?
[10:41] Rampo
    Hello, Atsushi-kun.
[10:42] Naka
    Rampo-san?
[10:44] Naka
    Okay.
[10:44] Dazai
    Hello?
[10:45] Fuku
    Dazai?
[10:45] Dazai
    President?
[10:46] Naka
    Yes.
[10:48] Dazai
    What? The military police's...
[10:49] Kuni
    I see.
[10:51] Kuni
    Set a thief to catch a thief, I see.
[10:52] Naka
    I see.
[10:53] Dazai
    That's quite...
[10:55] Naka
    Okay.
[10:55] Kuni
    I understand.
[10:56] Dazai
    Yes.
[10:57] Kuni
    No, that's helpful.
[10:58] Naka
    Understood.
[11:00] Dazai
    I understand, President.
[11:03] Kuni
    I got a call from Rokuzou.
[11:05] Kuni
    Someone recently ordered a
    transmitter and other equipment
[11:08] Kuni
    to be delivered to a former
    defense force facility.
[11:10] Naka
    Rampo-san reached a similar conclusion.
[11:12] Kuni
    That settles it, then.
[11:13] Dazai
    My call was from the president.
[11:16] Dazai
    He was informed by the military
    police that the driver has died.
[11:19] Kuni
    He's dead?
[11:20] Naka
    But I thought he was in the military
    police's isolation ward for protection.
[11:25] Dazai
    He died after suddenly collapsing
    in pain in his cell.
[11:27] Dazai
    The cause of death is unknown,
[11:28] Dazai
    but the numbers "00" were
    marked on his palm.
[11:34] Kuni
    Numbers on his palm?

    But I can't do it.

    What?

    You have to insert the release

    but I don't have it.
[12:59] Naka
    What are we going to do?!

[15:37] Kuni
    He broke it.
[15:38] Naka
    What?!
[15:39] Naka
    Then what about the bomb?
[15:41] Naka
    We don't have time—
[15:42] Kuni
    Calm down, brat.

    My ability allows me to recreate

SIGN    Ideal
[16:10] Naka
    So your notebook is really a tool
    that brings your ideals into reality.
[16:24] Nobuko
    You're visiting the graves of
    those who have lost their lives?
[16:28] Kuni
    Yes.
[16:31] Kuni
    When I first caused casualties during a job,
[16:34] Kuni
    I cried so much I couldn't get up,
[16:36] Kuni
    and I took time off from work without leave.
[16:38] Kuni
    But now, I don't even shed a tear.
[16:40] Kuni
    I just choose to visit their graves in
    exchange, or that's how I think of it.
[16:47] Nobuko
    Will the dead by comforted by tears?
[16:51] Kuni
    I doubt they'd be comforted
    or redeemed by tears.
[16:54] Kuni
    After all, their time stopped
    at the moment of their deaths.
[16:59] Nobuko
    I confess I told a lie earlier.
[17:04] Nobuko
    My significant other and I
    parted ways because he died.
[17:07] Kuni
    I see.
[17:09] Nobuko
    What you said is true.
[17:11] Nobuko
    Time no longer has meaning for the dead.
[17:14] Nobuko
    No matter what I may do for him,
[17:16] Nobuko
    he cannot rejoice in it,
[17:18] Nobuko
    nor smile because of it.
[17:23] Nobuko
    I lost my composure without meaning to.
[17:25] Nobuko
    I have something I must attend to.
[17:27] Nobuko
    Excuse me.
[17:31] Nobuko
    Goodbye.
[17:37] Kuni
    Hello.
[17:39] Dazai
    Kunikida-kun?
[17:40] Dazai
    I need you for something.
[17:43] Kuni
    What do you want here, of all places?
[17:46] Dazai
    What do you think this is?
[17:48] Dazai
    It's a survey of Yokohama we found
     on a computer in their hideout.
[17:52] Dazai
    Surprisingly, it concludes that eradicating
    the Agency is the first priority
[17:56] Dazai
    in order to take control of Yokohama.
[17:59] Kuni
    And not the Port Mafia,
    who control the underworld?
[18:02] Dazai
    They were being manipulated
    by false information.
[18:06] Kuni
    So there's another mastermind?
[18:08] Dazai
    Actually, I've sent an email to the
    one I believe is truly behind this.
[18:13] Dazai
    I said I have proof that the person
    is the one truly responsible.
[18:16] Dazai
    That person should be here any moment now.
[18:29] Kuni
    It can't be you!
[18:31] Kuni
    You're the one, Rokuzou?!
[18:33] Roku
    What are you talking about?
[18:35] Roku
    So it hasn't started yet?
[18:37] Dazai
    I see.
[18:38] Dazai
    You took a peek at my email by hacking
    into my account, didn't you?
[18:41] Kuni
    So it's not really you!
[18:43] Roku
    I just wanted to take a look at the
    one who's actually responsible.
[18:47] Kuni
    So it's really, really not you, right—
[18:48] Roku
    Look out!
[18:56] Dazai
    So you're the Azure Messenger,
[18:59] Dazai
    Sasaki Nobuko-san.
[19:01] Kuni
    It can't be...
[19:02] Dazai
    I doubt this is the first time
    you used your intelligence
[19:06] Dazai
    to execute a crime, either.
[19:08] Nobuko
    He was a man who lived for his ideals.
[19:11] Nobuko
    He was pure in his intentions
    to seek out the world of crime,
[19:14] Nobuko
    and that is why he got blood on his hands.
[19:17] Nobuko
    I just wanted to grant his desire
    and make his ideals come true.
[19:21] Dazai
    Your significant other, the Azure King,
[19:23] Dazai
    was an idealist who wanted to prosecute
    criminals who could not be judged by law
[19:27] Dazai
    through illegal means.

     Reflection
[19:29] Dazai
    This incident was meant
    to carry on his work...
[19:31] Kuni
    Lower your gun!
[19:33] Kuni
    What good will this accomplish?
[19:35] Nobuko
    Don't you understand?
[19:37] Nobuko
    You resemble him in a way...
[19:41] Dazai
    Your plan was very sophisticated.
[19:44] Dazai
    Without committing a single
    crime of your own,
[19:46] Dazai
    you set up the Agency to take the fall,
[19:48] Dazai
    and you destroyed both the kidnapper and
    the criminal organization behind him.
[19:51] Dazai
    But you yourself have no
    convictions or ideals.
[19:55] Dazai
    You're just being swept along by the flow.
[20:00] Nobuko
    I'm just tired, now.
[20:02] Nobuko
    I want to be released from all this.
[20:06] Nobuko
    Will you shoot me, Dazai-san?
[20:10] Nobuko
    But I've lowered my gun.
[20:13] Nobuko
    If you were to shoot me now,
[20:16] Nobuko
    it'd be excessive use of force.
[20:18] Nobuko
    Kunikida-san's watching us.
[20:21] Dazai
    You're right.
[20:22] Dazai
    I can't shoot.
[20:25] Dazai
    However...
[20:40] Roku
    The Azure King killed my dad.
[20:43] Roku
    Good riddance.
[20:49] Kuni
    Why?!
[20:51] Kuni
    Why does it have to end this way?!
[20:54] Kuni
    What went wrong?!
[20:55] Kuni
    Who was wrong?!
[20:57] Dazai
    No one was wrong.
[20:58] Dazai
    This was the only possible outcome.
[21:01] Kuni
    Shut up!
[21:02] Kuni
    You could've saved her!
[21:04] Kuni
    Are you saying this is justice?!
[21:07] Dazai
    Justice is a weapon.
[21:09] Dazai
    It can be used to cause harm,
[21:11] Dazai
    but it cannot protect or save others.
[21:14] Dazai
    What killed Sasaki-san was, in the end,
    the justice of the Azure King
[21:18] Dazai
    and of you.
[21:23] Dazai
    Kunikida-kun,
[21:25] Dazai
    as long as you pursue your ideals,
[21:27] Dazai
    the flames that burned in the Azure King
    will one day take root in you...
[21:31] Dazai
    and raze everything around you.
[21:33] Kuni
    Still!
[21:34] Kuni
    I'll still push on until I push past it!
[21:37] Kuni
    Don't underestimate my ideals!
[21:39] Kuni
    
[23:10] Yosano
    Atsushi, aren't you hurt?
[23:12] Naka
    No, not in the slightest.
[23:14] Naka
    I am in good health.
[23:16] Yosano
    Oh, how boring.
[23:18] Naka
    Um, about your "treatment," Dr. Yosano.
[23:20] Naka
    How does it work, specifically?
[23:22] Yosano
    Would you like to find out?
[23:23] Yosano
    Why don't you ask Tanizaki since
    he was treated by me before?
[23:26] Naka
    Oh, but Tanizaki-san just shivers in fear
[23:29] Naka
    and won't tell me anything.
