*Is that Satoru?*
**[00:16] ---**
*No...*
**[00:21] ---**
*Who is it?*
***SIGN*** ERASED
**[02:43] ---**
Good morning.
**[02:44] ---**
Good morning.
**[02:46] ---**
What are you doing up this early?
**[02:49] ---**
What am I doing? Isn't it obvious?
**[02:52] ---**
You're going to school
early again, aren't you?
**[02:55] ---**
Yeah.
**[02:57] ---**
Thank you!
**[03:01] ---**
You don't have to wolf it down.
**[03:05] ---**
Satoru, can I ask you a frank question?
**[03:08] ---**
Go ahead.
**[03:09] ---**
Who are you meeting and what are you
doing this early in the morning?
**[03:14] ---**
It's a secret.
**[03:16] ---**
You're not doing anything bad, are you?
**[03:20] ---**
No.
**[03:22] ---**
Okay then.
**[03:27] ---**
See you later!
**[03:27] ---**
Wait a second!
**[03:28] ---**
Take this.
**[03:30] ---**
Leaving so early,
you'll be hungry before lunch.
**[03:34] ---**
Right.
**[03:36] ---**
Thanks, Mom.
**[03:53] ---**
Hinazuki, good morning!
**[03:57] ---**
Morning, Satoru.
**[03:59] ---**
Here, breakfast.
**[04:01] ---**
Isn't that for you?
**[04:03] ---**
I've already eaten, so it's okay.
**[04:08] ---**
Wow...
**[04:10] ---**
I'm sorry, Kayo.
**[04:12] ---**
It must be boring here.
**[04:13] ---**
If you had a TV at least...
**[04:16] ---**
It's all right. Hiromi brought me
lots of books yesterday.
**[04:21] ---**
I think it'll take only another day
or two of being patient.
**[04:25] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:29] ---**
That was good.
**[04:33] ---**
Well, I'll see you after school.
**[04:34] ---**
Yeah.

*Crap!*
**[04:55] ---**
*The kids from Izumi Elementary
are coming to school!*
**[04:59] ---**
*Maybe I spent too much time in there.*
**[05:03] ---**
I don't wanna give the farewell
address at the graduation ceremony.
**[05:07] ---**
Really?
**[05:09] ---**
You're better at public speaking, Aya.
**[05:12] ---**
It'll be fine.
**[05:13] ---**
I know you can do it, Saki.
***SIGN*** AYA NAKANISHI

**[05:24] ---**
Kayo is absent again today, I guess?
**[05:27] ---**
Fujinuma, you haven't heard anything?
**[05:29] ---**
No. She wasn't at her
house this morning either.
**[05:32] ---**
Maybe she's got a cold?
I wonder what's up with Hinazuki.
**[05:35] ---**
Yeah. And the school hasn't been
contacted? That's strange.
**[05:39] ---**
- What's wrong?
- Normally her mom would've called.
**[05:42] ---**
- Hinazuki sure is out a lot.
- I wish I could take off like that.
**[05:46] ---**
Well, we're talking about Kayo.
**[05:48] ---**
She may show up here
when we least expect it.
**[05:50] ---**
But shall we begin class?
**[05:51] ---**
- I hate math!
- Okay...
***SIGN*** STAFF ROOM
**[05:54] ---**
I see...
**[05:56] ---**
You stopped by her house
this morning too, huh?
**[05:58] ---**
You must be worried.
**[06:00] ---**
Yeah.
**[06:01] ---**
But you're relatively calm about it.
**[06:03] ---**
It's like you always say.
**[06:05] ---**
At a time like this,
you should stay as calm as usual.
**[06:09] ---**
That's true.
**[06:10] ---**
I tried calling Kayo's house
yesterday and today,
**[06:14] ---**
but no one answered.
**[06:15] ---**
I called her mother's work too,
but she's absent there.
**[06:20] ---**
Sensei! Would you call the police
or the Child Consultation Center?
**[06:23] ---**
The police...
**[06:25] ---**
Yeah...
**[06:26] ---**
If I call the police now,
won't it cause someone trouble?
**[06:34] ---**
I called the Child Consultation
Center yesterday.
**[06:36] ---**
It seems like they're going today.
**[06:38] ---**
I'll go to Kayo's house with them.
**[06:40] ---**
The root of the problem
is probably there.
**[06:44] ---**
"Doing your best
is the key to everything."
**[06:45] ---**
Another one of my pet expressions.
**[06:48] ---**
Thanks, Sensei!
**[06:53] ---**
*So Yashiro was already
moving behind the scenes...*
**[06:55] ---**
*All right!*
**[06:59] ---**
Ms. Hinazuki!
**[07:00] ---**
We're with the Ishikari
Development Bureau.
**[07:05] ---**
No one's coming.
**[07:07] ---**
The lights are on,
so someone is probably home.
**[07:11] ---**
Shall we check around back?
**[07:14] ---**
Ms. Hinazuki! Are you home?
**[07:18] ---**
Kayo!
**[07:23] ---**
Excuse me.
**[07:24] ---**
Sensei!
**[07:25] ---**
It's okay. I'll take responsibility.
**[07:30] ---**
Sounds like she's been missing
for three days.
**[07:32] ---**
Let's trust him.
**[07:44] ---**
The lights and stove are on.
**[07:47] ---**
The recent remnants of a meal for one.
**[07:50] ---**
Kayo's coat is gone.
**[07:53] ---**
Her mother was here at least,
up until moments ago.
**[07:57] ---**
I bet the mother escaped off the balcony
right when we got here.
**[08:02] ---**
Rats. I wanted to at least
take the daughter into custody.
**[08:06] ---**
Let's try again tomorrow morning.
**[08:08] ---**
I don't think the mother's coming back
while we're here.
**[08:11] ---**
But if we leave, I'm sure she'll return.
**[08:13] ---**
Is the daughter all right?
**[08:16] ---**
We could have the police
look for the mother.
**[08:19] ---**
No. I have a feeling Kayo is safe.
**[08:22] ---**
In fact, I happen to know she is.
**[08:25] ---**
If you say so, Sensei.
**[08:27] ---**
Then let's leave for now, to make
the mother think we've given up.
**[08:31] ---**
People from the Child Consultation
Center went to your house.
**[08:34] ---**
Mr. Yashiro, too.
**[08:36] ---**
Your mother wasn't home.
**[08:39] ---**
I think this can be resolved
today or tomorrow.
**[08:42] ---**
Kayo...
**[08:43] ---**
You'll be separated from your mother.
**[08:46] ---**
Nothing could make me happier.
**[08:49] ---**
*When Kayo Hinazuki was taken
into protective custody,*
**[08:52] ---**
*it meant we wouldn't see her again.*
**[08:55] ---**
I'll be fine.
**[08:58] ---**
Whenever I think of you guys,
I'll get a warm feeling inside.
**[09:03] ---**
Satoru, this is late...
**[09:08] ---**
but this is your birthday present.
**[09:10] ---**
Here.
**[09:14] ---**
*I'll give you your present tomorrow.*
**[09:17] ---**
*That's a promise.*
**[09:30] ---**
Thank you.
**[09:32] ---**
*This moment...*
**[09:36] ---**
*It feels like I've waited forever.*
**[09:42] ---**
I didn't realize you were so
easily moved, Satoru.
**[09:45] ---**
Huh?
**[09:47] ---**
Oh yeah, Satoru. Stay here tonight.
**[09:51] ---**
That's gutsy!
**[09:54] ---**
Not like that.
**[09:55] ---**
Nothing happened, but someone
came in here late last night.
**[10:02] ---**
I was scared.
**[10:04] ---**
A security guard on night duty
or the school janitor?
**[10:08] ---**
Is there anything else?
**[10:10] ---**
Did someone lend you their
dirty magazines or something?
**[10:13] ---**
It was an adult.
**[10:15] ---**
He kicked a box, like he was angry.
**[10:20] ---**
Shall we open it?
**[10:22] ---**
Hopefully it is just dirty magazines.
**[10:37] ---**
What is this?
**[10:41] ---**
*I was the only one who knew
immediately what they were for.*
**[10:46] ---**
*And I finally realized
that the serial killer's second victim,*

MARCH
**[11:09] ---**
*Between 10 and 11 pm,*
**[11:11] ---**
*Kayo Hinazuki disappeared
from her home's storage shed.*
**[11:18] ---**
*Footprints left around the shed
matched the rubber boots*
**[11:21] ---**
*belonging to the Shiratori family.*
**[11:25] ---**
*The culprit used a spray
to make her freeze to death quickly*
**[11:28] ---**
*in a cold storage room.*
**[11:32] ---**
*Then he returned her frozen
body to the shed before dawn.*
**[11:40] ---**
*We can't stay in this bus.*
**[11:43] ---**
*It's in the dead center of the murder loop.*
**[11:50] ---**
We have to get out of here.
**[11:53] ---**
Well, yeah.
**[11:55] ---**
We wanted Hina to be found,
**[11:57] ---**
but this is kind of creepy.
**[12:00] ---**
All this stuff...
**[12:02] ---**
Yeah.
**[12:03] ---**
We can't have a pervert find her.
**[12:05] ---**
Satoru... Do you have a plan B?
**[12:09] ---**
I do.
**[12:11] ---**
Okay. Then let's pull up stakes.
**[12:20] ---**
*Remember this. His footprint!*
**[12:25] ---**
*What's this black powder?*
**[12:31] ---**
*A briquette.*
**[12:32] ---**
*Don't tell me this belongs
to the killer too?*
**[12:42] ---**
Dammit! Dammit!
**[12:45] ---**
Satoru...
**[12:46] ---**
That doesn't matter now.
**[12:49] ---**
You're right.
**[12:51] ---**
*That's right. What good
does losing my head do?*
**[12:56] ---**
All right. Ready to go.
**[12:58] ---**
Too bad, it was a good hideout.
**[13:00] ---**
A hideout a stranger enters
in the middle of the night is a bad one.
**[13:03] ---**
Yeah.
**[13:04] ---**
*Right now we need to get Hinazuki
far from the loop of murders...*
**[13:10] ---**
*even by force.*
**[13:12] ---**
*The Child Consultation Center
is acting too.*
**[13:14] ---**
*Through our actions,
the future is definitely changing.*
**[13:17] ---**
*It will work out.*
***SIGN*** FUJINUMA
**[13:21] ---**
Satoru, this is your plan B?
**[13:24] ---**
Yeah. Simple, isn't it?
**[13:26] ---**
Let's take one more step.
**[13:28] ---**
After all this,
the straightforward approach?
**[13:30] ---**
I'm back.
**[13:33] ---**
Welcome home.
**[13:38] ---**
G-Good evening.
**[13:42] ---**
Satoru, explain.
**[13:50] ---**
This is what happened
when I didn't abandon her.
**[14:03] ---**
Well done, kids.
**[14:06] ---**
I thought that's what you'd say.
**[14:08] ---**
Although I figured
I'd get chewed out first...
**[14:11] ---**
*I said that out loud.*
**[14:13] ---**
Come on, I wouldn't scold you for this.
**[14:15] ---**
You did it for a friend.
**[14:21] ---**
I noticed this smell
when you opened the door.
**[14:24] ---**
I figured you would be home soon
**[14:27] ---**
and didn't know how many guests
we'd have, so I made curry.
**[14:30] ---**
*Was I that transparent?*
**[14:33] ---**
Just don't stand there.
**[14:35] ---**
Come in and have some curry.
**[14:37] ---**
I appreciate the invitation.
**[14:38] ---**
Thank you!
**[14:41] ---**
If nobody else had come, what would
you have done with all this curry?
**[14:45] ---**
Well, curry is good for days, right?
**[14:50] ---**
Um... Here.
**[14:53] ---**
Thank you.
**[14:54] ---**
It was delicious.
**[14:59] ---**
Well, leave the rest to me.
**[15:02] ---**
I don't mean the dishes, by the way.
**[15:04] ---**
I know.
**[15:06] ---**
- See you!
- See you!
**[15:08] ---**
See you!
**[15:12] ---**
Hello?
**[15:13] ---**
This is Satoru Fujinuma's mother.
**[15:17] ---**
Mr. Yashiro...
**[15:18] ---**
Satoru and Kayo came back to my house.
**[15:21] ---**
Is that right? That's great!
**[15:24] ---**
I figured as much.
**[15:26] ---**
*Will Kayo have to be sent
to an orphanage somewhere?*
**[15:33] ---**
*Good question.*
**[15:35] ---**
*I do have an idea about that.*
**[15:38] ---**
Right, I couldn't see Kayo's mother.
**[15:42] ---**
But I have a favor to ask you,
Ms. Fujinuma.
**[15:47] ---**
Understood.
**[15:48] ---**
Then tomorrow at 7:00.
**[15:53] ---**
Kayo, you can spend the night here.
**[16:00] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[16:01] ---**
I apologize for calling at night.
**[16:03] ---**
I'm Gaku Yashiro, a teacher
at Mikoto Elementary.
**[16:07] ---**
I'm calling about Kayo...
**[16:10] ---**
He's called Wonder Guy. Cool, right?
**[16:14] ---**
One of you take a bath.
**[16:17] ---**
You can go first.
**[16:19] ---**
Okay. But...
**[16:21] ---**
Why don't we take a bath together?
**[16:30] ---**
Shall I wash your hair, Kayo?
**[16:34] ---**
I can do it myself.
**[16:36] ---**
That's all right, I'll do it.
**[16:40] ---**
Does it itch anywhere, Miss?
**[16:45] ---**
Here? Or maybe...
**[16:49] ---**
Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle!
**[16:53] ---**
Here?
**[16:55] ---**
Or maybe here?
**[16:58] ---**
Or here?
**[17:01] ---**
*Get a grip! You're 29!*
**[17:06] ---**
You'll catch cold if you don't
do a good job drying.
**[17:15] ---**
I-It sounded like
you were having a good time.
**[17:19] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:20] ---**
It was warm.
**[17:23] ---**
I see.
**[17:24] ---**
Huh?
**[17:25] ---**
Those pajamas...
**[17:27] ---**
Yeah. I bought them beforehand.
**[17:29] ---**
*Yokai...*
**[17:31] ---**
Use this. The sheet's been washed.
**[17:34] ---**
Okay.
**[17:36] ---**
Satoru, that's sloppy.
**[17:38] ---**
Pull that end more.
**[17:40] ---**
Feels like we're on a class trip.
**[17:42] ---**
Which reminds me, the night view
from Mt. Hakodate is great.
**[17:47] ---**
You've never been to Hakodate!
**[17:49] ---**
*Crap!*
**[17:50] ---**
I mean, I saw it in a photo.
**[17:55] ---**
Well, lights out.
**[17:57] ---**
- Okay.
- Okay.
**[18:01] ---**
What is it?
**[18:02] ---**
We don't use a nightlight at my house.
**[18:04] ---**
Oh. Should I turn it off then?
**[18:07] ---**
No. This is fine.
**[18:09] ---**
Let's leave it on.
**[18:12] ---**
Okay.
**[18:14] ---**
Thank you.
**[18:17] ---**
Goodnight.
**[18:18] ---**
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
**[18:32] ---**
Am I in the way here?
**[18:33] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:34] ---**
O-Of course not.
**[18:37] ---**
You said "Yeah?"!
**[18:37] ---**
*I said it out loud.*
**[18:40] ---**
What was that for?
**[18:41] ---**
Shut up!
**[18:43] ---**
Sheesh.
**[18:44] ---**
- Cut it out!
- No chance!
**[18:47] ---**
Are you stupid?
**[19:06] ---**
Good morning.
**[19:08] ---**
Good morning.
**[19:10] ---**
Good morning!
**[19:12] ---**
Satoru, Kayo, eat it while it's hot!
**[19:16] ---**
Yea...
**[19:26] ---**
Thank you.
**[19:28] ---**
Huh? What about the curry?
**[19:29] ---**
That's your dinner...
for the next several days.
**[19:33] ---**
There's still enough left
for five or six people!
**[19:35] ---**
You should invite everyone over again.
