SIGN    Beware of t / The Man Who Loved a Witch
[01:49] Shotaro
    Fuuto, the windy city.
[01:53] Shotaro
    Whether it's a scrap of joy
    or a jackpot of tragedy,
[01:57] Shotaro
    in this town, the wind blows it your way.
[02:00] Shotaro
    My job is keeping my ears to that wind...
[02:03] Shotaro
    And keeping those scraps of joy safe.
[02:08] Shotaro
    The name's Shotaro Hidari.
[02:10] Shotaro
    I'm an extremely
    hard-boiled private eye.
[02:24] Shotaro
    That's a nice breeze.
SIGN    Akiko
[02:27] Shotaro
    Akiko, huh?
[02:30] Shotaro
    What's up?
[02:31] Akiko
    Are you serious?! Don't you "What's up?" me!
[02:33] Shotaro
    Wh-What did I do?!
[02:36] Shotaro
    Huh? The picture I sent?
[02:39] Shotaro
    Was that hard-boiled or what?
[02:41] Shotaro
    Came out so nice, I figured
    even you would appreciate it!
[02:46] Akiko
    Why are you screwing around?!
[02:47] Shotaro
    That's not really what I was doing...
[02:50] Shotaro
    A client's coming in? This late?
[02:54] Shotaro
    You got it. I'll rush on back.
[02:57] Shotaro
    Man, the big boss still has a short fuse.
[03:02] Shotaro
    Marriage definitely didn't mellow her out.
[03:27] Shotaro
    I-Is this for real?
[03:31] Shotaro
    Talk about a perfect strike.
[03:46] Shotaro
    Easy there.
[03:48] Shotaro
    Care to step aside, lady?
[03:52] Shotaro
    Any further and I'll be shot through the heart
    with all that heat you're packing.
[03:58] Shotaro
    Huh? Was that not cool?
[04:00] Tokime
    I'm always so hungry...
[04:04] Tokime
    Are you the one who'll satisfy me?
[04:07] Shotaro
    Uh, I'm not sure I follow...
[04:10] Shotaro
    Is this, like, a new way
    of drumming up business?
[04:14] Shotaro
    G-Gotta pass, then.
[04:16] Shotaro
    The detective game's
    not too lucrative, so...
[04:19] Shotaro
    I can't really afford to
    invest in a passing beauty.
[04:24] Tokime
    Detective...
[04:27] Shotaro
    Damn, that was a close one!
[04:30] Shotaro
    She nearly had me around her little finger.
[04:33] Shotaro
    Every now and then you meet a dame so sexy,
    you've gotta pry your eyes off her...
[04:37] Shotaro
    Wait a minute.
[04:39] Shotaro
    That's the end of the pier—
[04:45] Shotaro
    She's gone?

[04:56] Akiko
    Here's a picture of Dad,
[04:58] Akiko
    and here's the selfie Shotaro just sent.
[05:01] Akiko
    Now, which one's the hard-boiled detective?!
SIGN    Narumi Detective Agency
[05:10] Akiko
    Which one is the narcissist
    who wishes he was hard-boiled,
[05:13] Akiko
    when he's really just immature
    and soft-boiled—or half-boiled, you could say?

    Damn it, you know I hate this

    Damn it! Give it a rest, Akiko!
[05:25] Shotaro
    Anybody would look half-baked
    compared to Pops!
[05:29] Shotaro
    Ow!
[05:30] Akiko
    Hey, stupid!
SIGN    No Back-Talk!
[05:31] Akiko
    I'm mad because you said you'd rush back,
    but you took your sweet time!
[05:35] Shotaro
    That's...
[05:37] Shotaro
    because I had a weird
    encounter on the way back.
[05:42] Akiko
    Come in.
[05:46] Akiko
    Welcome to the Narumi Detective Agency.
[05:49] Akiko
    I'm the chief, Akiko Narumi.
[05:50] Akiko
    This is the agency's...
[05:52] Akiko
    Detective. Shotaro Hidari. It's a pleasure.
[05:56] Chuuta
    I-I'm Chuuta Tsubosaki...
[06:01] Shotaro
    So, what can we help you with?
[06:08] Akiko
    No need to be so anxious!
[06:11] Akiko
    We're here to help with whatever you need.
[06:13] Akiko
    Missing persons, missing cats,
[06:16] Akiko
    cat matchmaking, neighbor's cat
     pooping on your property...
[06:18] Shotaro
    Does it always need to be about cats?!
[06:20] Chuuta
    Well... I...
[06:22] Chuuta
    I want you to find a w-witch!
[06:26] S/A
    Witch?!
[06:28] Chuuta
    I realize how weird it sounds,
[06:31] Chuuta
    but they say strange
    things happen in Fuuto.
[06:35] Chuuta
    And I heard this agency
    specializes in that sort of thing.
[06:41] Shotaro
    How about you fill us in on the details?
[06:45] Shotaro
    Chuuta Tsubosaki. 32 years old.
[06:47] Shotaro
    From a family of farmers in Hokkaido,
    but after a few years of bad harvests,
[06:51] Shotaro
    he moved to Fuuto last week
    to make some money in the city.
[06:55] Shotaro
    He was heading home for the night, with a bag
    full of the money he needed for his new life...
[07:02] Shotaro
    when he ran into a witch.
[07:06] (Flashback) Tokime
    I'm always so hungry...
[07:10] (Flashback) Tokime
    Are you the one who'll satisfy me?
[07:14] Shotaro
    "Maybe she's hungry?" he thought as
    he reached for some cash from the bag.
[07:21] Shotaro
    And then...
[07:24] (Flashback) Tokime
    Thanks for that.
[07:28] (Flashback) Tokime
    I wouldn't follow if I were you.
[07:29] (Flashback) Tokime
    I'm a witch, after all.
[07:33] Shotaro
    She stole your bag? What happened then?
[07:36] Chuuta
    I rushed after her, of course.
[07:39] Chuuta
    But... I couldn't catch up at all!
[07:41] Chuuta
    She was so graceful,
    it's like she was running on air!
[07:55] Chuuta
    In the end, I lost track of her.
[07:58] Shotaro
    And you found yourself at
    the t-intersection in Yuunagi-cho?
[08:01] Akiko
    She managed to get away, huh?
[08:03] Akiko
    Can't blame you, though,
    since you're new in town...
[08:06] Chuuta
    That's the weird thing.
[08:12] Akiko
    A dead end?
[08:15] Akiko
    Are you saying she walked through a wall?
[08:20] Shotaro
    It's gotta be her.
[08:23] Shotaro
    Sorry about that. My partner's asleep.
[08:26] Shotaro
    Tired himself out with his books.
[08:31] Shotaro
    So, Mr. Chuuta Tsubosaki,
[08:33] Shotaro
    I take it you'd like us to track down
    that woman and get your money back?
[08:37] Chuuta
    R-Right...
[08:39] Chuuta
    That bag was sent by my family.
    It's very important to me.
[08:42] Akiko
    The bag? More than the money?
[08:45] Chuuta
    Er, uh, well... but... um...
[08:48] Shotaro
    Something's not adding up here.
[08:50] Shotaro
    How much was in the bag?
[08:52] Chuuta
    Around 280,000 yen, I think.
[08:55] Shotaro
    That's not chump change,
[08:57] Shotaro
    but it's not like hiring
    a detective is cheap.
[09:00] Shotaro
    If you just wanted the cash back,
    most people would go the cops.
[09:03] Shotaro
    Wouldn't turning to us end up
    costing you more in the end?
[09:07] Chuuta
    Uh... well...
[09:09] Shotaro
    I'm guessing...
[09:12] Shotaro
    This is more about seeing the girl
    again than the money, right, Chuuta?
[09:18] Chuuta
    Yes...
[09:19] Chuuta
    I-It's really embarrassing,
    but I've never felt this way before.
[09:25] Akiko
    So, you fell in love at first sight
    with the witch who mugged you?!
[09:30] Chuuta
    I do want the bag back, but...
[09:32] Chuuta
    Ideally I'd get to see her again,
    and try to convince her to stop stealing.
[09:38] Akiko
    And that's why you don't
    want to go to the police.
[09:40] Chuuta
    Is... Is this a bad idea?
[09:42] Chuuta
    Is it inappropriate? I mean,
     a request like this...
[09:46] Shotaro
    Every client has their circumstances.
[09:49] Shotaro
    And if not for private eyes,
[09:51] Shotaro
    who would hear them out
[09:56] ---
    on the stuff they're afraid to admit?
[10:00] Shotaro
    We'll take the case and find your witch.
[10:03] Shotaro
    M-Mr. Detective!
SIGN    Kamome Billiards
[10:08] Akiko
    You met the witch?!
[10:10] Shotaro
    Yeah.
[10:11] Shotaro
    Pretty sure it's the same girl.
[10:12] Akiko
    Does that mean she almost robbed you, too?!
[10:16] Akiko
    Oh, but she could probably tell
    you're broke from looking at you.
[10:20] Shotaro
    W-Wrong!
[10:21] Shotaro
    She probably ran off 'cuz she could
    tell how s-steely and hard-boiled I am!
[10:28] Shotaro
    Can't say I blame Chuuta
    for being into her, though.
[10:31] Shotaro
    She's definitely a witch,
    in the "bewitching" sense.
[10:34] Philip
    Fascinating.
[10:39] Philip
    I'm quite intrigued.
[10:41] Shotaro
    Come on, I doubt I'm gonna need
    your help this time around, partner.
[10:45] Philip
    My interest has more to do
    with your attitude, Shotaro.
[10:50] Philip
    A seductive witch who leads
    men astray with her charms...
[10:54] Philip
    It plays directly into a number
    of your genre sensibilities.
[10:57] Philip
    Thinking about her playing you for a fool
     has me twitching in anticipation.
[11:02] Shotaro
    Say what?!
[11:03] Philip
    Did you encounter any of the supernatural
    phenomena that Chuuta Tsubosaki mentioned?
[11:08] Shotaro
    Come to think of it...
[11:11] Shotaro
    It was like she disappeared into the sea.
[11:15] Akiko
    She disappeared?!
[11:17] Shotaro
    She's probably just a fast runner, alright?
[11:22] Shotaro
    This city's my backyard.
[11:24] Shotaro
    She can run, but she can't hide for long!
[11:27] Shotaro
    Just you watch!
[11:33] Philip
    This might turn out to be
    more troublesome than it seems.
[11:39] Shotaro
    Fuuto. This city's my backyard.
[11:43] Shotaro
    From the back streets to the most
    cramped alleys, I've got them all memorized,
[11:48] Shotaro
    and I've got connections
    with folks from all walks of life.
[11:52] Shotaro
    So when rumors start floating around,
    I'll usually be the first one to hear them.
[11:59] Shotaro
    But this witch...
    isn't leaving much of a trail.
SIGN    Fuu-men
[12:06] Shotaro
    What the hell is going on here?
[12:08] Shotaro
    She's waltzing around town,
    but nobody has any clue who she is?
[12:13] Shotaro
    And after the big game I talked,
    I gotta handle this solo, or...
SIGN    Watcherman
[12:24] Shotaro
    Looks like I might have found it...
[12:27] Shotaro
    The first traces of her trail.
[12:30] Shotaro
    She's the "t-intersection witch"?
[12:32] Watcherman
    A real big deal lately!
[12:35] Watcherman
    She swipes clothes off of ladies,
    and cash off of men.
[12:38] Watcherman
    You can chase her, but never catch her...
[12:41] Shotaro
    And that's when you find yourself
    at the t-intersection in Yuunagi-cho?
[12:45] Watcherman
    You got it!
[12:46] Watcherman
    And this is where she ripped somebody off.
[12:50] Watcherman
    From what I heard, the witch made off
    with the victim's clothes!
[12:56] Shotaro
    You're a hell of a tipster.
[12:58] Shotaro
    Run home, and buy yourself
    something good to eat.
[13:01] Shotaro
    Before she swipes that, too.
[13:05] Watcherman
    I-It's the witch!
[13:09] Watcherman
    H-Hey! Dummy!
[13:15] Shotaro
    She flew?!
[13:17] Watcherman
    W-Watch it!
[13:18] Watcherman
    My phone!
[13:31] Shotaro
    Hey! So you're a real witch?
[13:34] Shotaro
    Again with this?!
[13:40] Chuuta
    She was so graceful,
    it's like she was running on air!
[13:48] Shotaro
    Gotta cut her off.
[14:15] Shotaro
    You're not getting away, lady.
[14:18] Shotaro
    I take it you're the thief folks
    are calling the t-intersection witch?
[14:22] Shotaro
    The name's Shotaro Hidari.
[14:24] Shotaro
    I'm a private detective.
[14:25] Shotaro
    What do I call you?
[14:29] Tokime
    Tokime.
[14:31] Shotaro
    Tokime? That's your name?
[14:34] Shotaro
    You got a last one?
[14:35] Tokime
    I dunno.
[14:37] Tokime
    Why don't you find out?
    Aren't you a detective?
[14:40] Shotaro
    Well, I'm asking you
    to come along peacefully.
[14:43] Shotaro
    There's this nice guy
    who's worried about you,
[14:45] Shotaro
    in spite of how you ripped him off.
[14:49] Shotaro
    I'm asking you to give him his
    bag back, and meet with him.
[14:52] Shotaro
    I won't hand you over
    to the cops until you do.
[14:55] Shotaro
    All right?
[14:58] Tokime
    You're really naïve, aren't you?
[15:00] Shotaro
    Wh-What?!
[15:02] Tokime
    A naïve little detective...
[15:04] Shotaro
    L-Look, I keep saying...
[15:06] Shotaro
    I really hate being called half-baked
    or half-boiled, okay?!
[15:10] Tokime
    Cute, but probably useless.
[15:14] Tokime
    You can't satisfy me!
[15:21] Shotaro
    You're not getting away!
[15:22] Shotaro
    Give it up!
[15:23] Shotaro
    Nobody can lose me in this town!
[15:27] Tokime
    We're not in your town anymore.
[15:34] Shotaro
    W-Where the hell am I?!
[15:37] Shotaro
    Wait! Get back here!
[15:44] Shotaro
    Yeowch...
[15:46] Tachikawa
    Who are you supposed to be?
[15:47] Tachikawa
    And how did you get inside of my building?
[15:50] Shotaro
    Wait, building?
[15:53] Shotaro
    Huh?
SIGN    Tachikawa Building
SIGN    Fuuto Police
[15:56] Jinno
    Sorry about this, Mr. Tachikawa.
[15:59] Jinno
    My buddy here seems
    to have caused a commotion.
[16:01] Macky
    You were caught trespassing red-handed!
     No excuses this time!
[16:06] Shotaro
    I'm telling you, it wasn't like that!
[16:08] Shotaro
    I was chasing after her,
    and don't know how I ended up here!
[16:11] Tachikawa
    A private eye, on the trail of the witch?
[16:14] Tachikawa
    You're a real goofy bastard.
[16:16] Tachikawa
    Whatever. Let him go.
[16:18] Sabu
    Got it.
[16:19] Sabu
    Move your ass!
[16:20] Tachikawa
    It's been bad for business.
SIGN    TE NA N TS
SIGN    WANTED
[16:23] Tachikawa
    Nobody wants to rent in a part of town
[16:26] ---
    filled with rumors of some
    witch ripping people off.
[16:29] Tachikawa
    Here's hoping your hunt
    goes well, detective.
[16:33] Tachikawa
    That goes for you cops, too.
[16:36] Shotaro
    I am so sorry about this!
[16:38] Macky
    Damn it, detective!
[16:39] Macky
    Would it kill you to be a little
    more careful with your investigations?
[16:42] Shotaro
    Jin, Macky, you guys are life-savers.
[16:46] Shotaro
    The t-intersection in Yuunagi-cho, huh...
[16:49] Jinno
    Didn't know you were after the witch, too.
[16:51] Shotaro
    Gotta be honest, I'm more surprised
    that you're going after a mugger, Jin.
[16:57] Jinno
    Well, cops tend to get involved...
[16:59] ---
    when there's been a murder.
[17:02] Jinno
    There were parts from a dismembered
    body found behind this building.
[17:08] Jinno
    From the rings on a hand,
    seems likely it was one of Tachikawa's goons.
[17:13] Jinno
    The Tachikawa building's been home
    to organized crime, fraud groups...
[17:16] Jinno
    A regular den of villainy.
[17:18] Jinno
    Which means violence is par the course.
[17:21] Jinno
    But what the witness saw...
[17:27] Shotaro
    ...was a witch who flew off into the sky,
[17:30] Shotaro
    apparently.
[17:32] Shotaro
    Tachikawa did seem pissed at her,
    and I can understand why,
[17:35] Shotaro
    if one of his guys was killed.
[17:37] Chuuta
    Is she really...
[17:39] Chuuta
    a killer, on top of being a thief?
[17:42] Shotaro
    Can't say for sure.
[17:43] Shotaro
    Her name is Tokime.
    That's all I've got so far.
[17:47] Shotaro
    What's the call, Chuuta?
[17:49] Shotaro
    If we're dealing with a murder suspect,
[17:51] Shotaro
    that brings police into the equation.
[17:54] Shotaro
    Which means a bigger risk for you
    in trying to cover for her.
[17:56] Shotaro
    Do you still—
[17:57] Chuuta
    I still want to see Tokime, yes!
[18:01] Shotaro
    Got it.
[18:02] Shotaro
    That cool with you, Akiko?
[18:03] Akiko
    Okay! This one's a secret, then.
[18:06] Shotaro
    Her husband's a detective with the Fuuto PD.
[18:09] Akiko
    Don't worry, I take client
    confidentiality very seriously!
[18:14] Chuuta
    Um, can you call me
    the next time you find her?
[18:20] Chuuta
    I mean, she managed to escape
    even after you found her, right?
[18:25] Chuuta
    The next time might be my only chance
    to talk some sense to her!
[18:28] Chuuta
    The police and that building's owner
    are both on her trail, right?!
[18:31] Chuuta
    There's no point in trying to convince her
    to turn herself in if she gets caught first!
[18:35] Shotaro
    L-Look, you've got a point, but...
[18:38] Shotaro
    Excuse me for a sec.
[18:41] Shotaro
    What's up?
[18:42] Philip
    Shall I guess, Shotaro?
[18:45] Philip
    After letting her escape, the client
    is on the verge of losing faith in you.
[18:50] Philip
    Don't you think it's time to swallow
     your pride and ask for my help?
SIGN    TAIYAKI
[18:55] Philip
    This Tokime woman isn't normal.
[18:58] Shotaro
    You think she's using a Memory?
[19:00] Chuuta
    Memory?
[19:02] Lily
    This is one town where becoming
    a witch isn't that hard.
[19:06] Lily
    In Fuuto, you can find all
    kinds of scary magic for sale.
[19:12] Shotaro
    Come on, Lily...
[19:14] Lily
    Sorry!
[19:17] Shotaro
    Anyway, I wanna tackle this a bit more.
[19:20] Shotaro
    Part of it's my pride as a detective,
    but something else is bothering me...
[19:25] Shotaro
    about that girl.
[19:27] Shotaro
    Good grief.
[19:28] Shotaro
    You aren't under the witch's
    spell already, are you?
[19:32] (Flashback) Tokime
    You're really naïve, aren't you?
[19:35] Shotaro
    The witch's spell...
[19:37] Shotaro
    That's it!
[19:58] Shotaro
    Let's look away until
    the lady's done dressing...
[20:02] Shotaro
    Even if she is a thief.
[20:09] Tokime
    How'd you find me?
[20:11] Shotaro
    I turned the city upside down,
[20:13] Shotaro
    and there was no sign that you
    had a proper residence anywhere.
[20:17] Shotaro
    But you're a little too clean
    to be living on the streets.
[20:20] Shotaro
    That was obvious from how nice you smell.
[20:24] Tokime
    And?
[20:25] Shotaro
    I ran by every public bath and shower.
[20:28] Shotaro
    But that didn't turn anything up,
[20:30] Shotaro
    so I asked a homeless pal of mine
    where someone could bathe for free.
[20:35] Shotaro
    And then...
[20:37] Shotaro
    Someone mentioned seeing
    an angel, right here.
[20:40] Tokime
    Detectives are pretty impressive.
[20:43] Shotaro
    Do you remember this guy?
[20:45] Tokime
    Yeah. He was nice.
[20:50] Chuuta
    Tokime... I don't care about the money.
[20:54] Chuuta
    I just want the bag back...
[20:56] Chuuta
    and please, stop stealing!
[21:01] Shotaro
    What's wrong?
[21:04] Shotaro
    That's...!
[21:06] Tokime
    We'll have to talk later.
[21:08] Shotaro
    Wait!
[21:12] Shotaro
    Here we go again!
[21:13] Shotaro
    She's getting further away!
[21:16] Shotaro
    What is with these roads?!
[21:17] Shotaro
    It's like I've never seen them before!
[21:19] Shotaro
    She's gone? That's impossible!
[21:22] Chuuta
    S-Shotaro, wait! Please!
[21:25] Chuuta
    S-Something's weird about this!
[21:31] Shotaro
    The wind's... gone?
[21:35] Shotaro
    This...
[21:38] Shotaro
    This isn't the Fuuto I know!
[21:41] Shotaro
    Chuuta, stick close to me.
[21:46] Shotaro
    Watch out!
[21:55] Shotaro
    This must've been what cut
    that guy to pieces.
[21:58] Chuuta
    Shotaro!
[21:59] Shotaro
    Chuuta, we gotta go!
[22:01] Shotaro
    Run for your life!
[22:07] Shotaro
    Over here! Try and hit me!
[22:13] Shotaro
    Good.
[22:16] Shotaro
    Crap! Can't dodge—
[22:34] Philip
    Shotaro...
[22:35] Philip
    I don't mean to impugn your
    pride or professionalism,
[22:39] Philip
    but it's clear to me that this case
    is going to require my help.
[22:44] Shotaro
    Philip!
[22:46] Philip
    And we are two halves of one detective.
[22:51] Shotaro
    You've got that right.
SIGN    Akiko's Dangerous Game
SIGN    What the Heck
[24:30] Akiko
    Akiko's Dangerous Game!
[24:33] Akiko
    Here we've got a hard-boiled egg,
    and a soft-boiled egg.
[24:36] Shotaro
    R-Right...
[24:40] Akiko
    Now, which one is hard-boiled?
[24:44] Akiko
    A hard-boiled detective
    oughta be able to tell, right?!
[24:49] Shotaro
    It's this one!
[24:51] Shotaro
    So soft...
[24:55] Akiko
    You're as half-boiled
    as you are egotistical!
[24:57] Philip
    Be sure to tune in next time.
