SIGN    Episode 1 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? SIGN    Kamome Billiards SIGN    Narumi Detective Agency SIGN    We'll solve     your case in      hard-boiled      style [04:53] Akiko     Okay, attention! [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? [05:16] Shotaro     Damn it, you know I hate this     half-baked, half-boiled talk! SIGN    Kanade Ritsuko Piano Recital [05:21] Akiko     But which is it?! SIGN    This wind carries tips     And this wind watches      Don't let crime pay!           Produced in Partnership with      the Fuuto Police Department     & Fuuto Crime Prevention Committee [05:22] Shotaro     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.
