[01:30] ---
    We've identified a potential suspect.
[01:32] ---
    Yosuke Saejima, age 42.
[01:35] ---
    His address is located at Heim
     Kagami, Yamato-kita, Nakano.
SIGN    #15 "Beneath the Cherry Tree Forest In Full Bloom"
[01:39] ---
    He's employed in medical device disposal.
[01:43] ---
    He's suspected of inciting these murders
     using the biological characteristics
[01:47] ---
    of the vampire Theo Himeduka was observing.
[01:50] ---
    What did forensics say?
[01:52] ---
    Shoes found at his house
     had soil residue on them
[01:54] ---
    whose composition matched
     what was outside the wandering house.
[01:57] ---
    And the DNA of the preserved
     blood in the fridge,
[02:00] ---
    as well as in the blood scattered
     around the wandering house,
[02:02] ---
    matched his DNA.
[02:05] ---
    So he used his own blood to awaken
     the vampire's need to suck blood?
[02:11] ---
    It makes sense that he'd know
     so much about vampires.
[02:14] ---
    He was once a famous researcher
     in the Another community.
[02:19] ---
    Once?
[02:20] ---
    He was kicked out.
SIGN    5 Years Ago
[02:25] ---
    He was infamous for a reason, actually.
[02:29] ---
    His research could've presented
     a threat to all of humanity.
[02:35] ---
    You mean...
[02:45] ---
    Using Anothers as
    manufacturing ingredients.
[02:48] ---
    The Ibn Ghazi Powder and Simplified Deployable
     Barrier created via the Himeduka process,
[02:54] ---
    the spells to distract Anothers...
[02:57] ---
    Using the results of my research and
     the tools I created to capture Anothers,
[03:01] ---
    he chopped up their bodies,
     pulled out their organs...
[03:04] ---
    trying to find out how they lived
[03:06] ---
    and how much you could
     do to them before they died.
[03:11] ---
    Saejima was obsessed with Theo Himeduka.
[03:16] ---
    A desire to be seen as an equal.
     Fear that he wouldn't be able to.
[03:20] ---
    Those were his justifications
     for the cruel experiments.
[03:26] ---
    But the Anothers' hatred of him could
     have turned into hatred of all humanity,
[03:30] ---
    putting all of humanity at risk.
[03:36] ---
    And so he was ousted.
[03:39] ---
    I destroyed his research notes,
     bought up his facility,
[03:44] ---
    and put pressure on the entire community.
[03:53] ---
    I used the power of my family,
     the Kikyouhimeduka,
[03:56] ---
    to ensure he never did any experiments again.
[04:00] ---
    Kikyouhimeduka?
[04:06] ---
    ...occurred in Shinjuku, Tokyo.
[04:07] ---
    The Witch of the West, huh?
SIGN    A Third Strange Death?
SIGN    Shinjuku Ward
[04:10] ---
    Another famous family in the Another
     community, like the Kanoichi.
[04:13] ---
    The Kikyouhimeduka.
[04:15] ---
    With their power, banishing a researcher,
     or even covering up that he ever existed...
[04:22] ---
    So Saejima was angry about that?
SIGN    That's what you get
[04:26] ---
    Chigusa, get me a warrant for Saejima.
[04:28] ---
    Yes, sir.
[04:29] ---
    Tamao, you follow the vampire.
[04:32] ---
    Yes, sir.
[04:33] ---
    This is that bastard's petty way
     of trying to get revenge.
[04:37] ---
    It's not "petty" anymore.
[04:40] ---
    Tamao-kun is probably already at work.
[04:44] ---
    Tamao, the detective?
[04:49] ---
    Katsumi Tamao.
[04:51] ---
    A member of the Tamao clan,
[04:56] ---
    the Another slayers.
[05:00] ---
    Slayers?
[05:05] ---
    Theo?
[05:06] ---
    Why?
[05:07] ---
    I thought I could finally talk to them!
[05:13] ---
    I know! With your Ears of Sand, you could...
[05:16] ---
    No, Theo-kun.
[05:18] ---
    You'd be interfering with
     a police investigation.
[05:23] ---
    When an Another interacts with a civilian
     and a problem occurs, we resolve it.
[05:29] ---
    Capturing them is part of our job...
[05:31] ---
    Three people are dead.
     The police are investigating.
[05:35] ---
    This is clearly outside
     our office's jurisdiction.
[05:39] ---
    But...
[05:44] ---
    I'll go look for them.
[05:46] ---
    Not because it's my job. For Theo-san.
[05:53] ---
    Let's go, Miyako.
[05:54] ---
    Right!
[06:11] ---
    I see... Thank you.
[06:16] ---
    Hey! Come here!
[06:24] ---
    She was killed by some weird guy...
[06:28] ---
    I'll get him for this!
[06:34] ---
    I'll find him!
[06:37] ---
    Capture that weirdo!
[06:40] ---
    What was he like? Um...
[06:42] ---
    I couldn't see!
[06:43] ---
    What? You couldn't see?
[06:47] (Flashback) ---
    Help me!
[06:49] ---
    I could see something grab hold of Biska...
[06:54] ---
    She was slaughtered right in front of me...
[07:23] ---
    I couldn't see him.
[07:25] ---
    He was right there, but he was like a shadow.
[07:32] ---
    An Another couldn't see them?
[07:36] ---
    That was Saejima... He's using a tattoo.
[07:41] ---
    A tattoo?
[07:43] ---
    If humans kill Anothers, they take revenge.
[07:47] ---
    So those who hunt them use special, cursed
     tattoos that hide them from Anothers.
[07:57] ---
    Why kill a fairy, though?
[07:59] ---
    Fairy dust puts humans to sleep, right?
[08:05] ---
    Then he used fairy dust
     to put the victims to sleep?
[08:24] ---
    We need to find them soon,
     or there'll be more victims.
[08:31] ---
    Miyako, what did Burdengi say?
[08:33] ---
    They said the smell of blood was nearby.
[08:37] ---
    I think that means they're still in Shinjuku.
[08:42] ---
    I get it! I get it!
[08:44] ---
    Why didn't I realize?!
[08:48] ---
    The first victim was in Wakamatsucho.
[08:50] ---
    The next was on the boundary
     of Shinjuku's 6th and 7th avenue.
[08:54] ---
    The third, Kabukicho's 2nd avenue.
[08:57] ---
    I see.
[08:58] ---
    So this is the only way they can move.
[09:00] ---
    What do you mean?
[09:01] ---
    Remember what I said about vampires?
[09:05] ---
    They see water as a boundary.
[09:07] ---
    Oh, right.
[09:09] ---
    Look here.
[09:10] ---
    Kanda River, on the
     boundary of Shinjuku Ward...
[09:13] ---
    So they can't move to the north or east.
[09:16] ---
    And to the south is Shinjuku Imperial Gardens.
[09:18] ---
    That place also runs along Shinjuku
    from Kaminoike to Shimonoike.
SIGN    Shinjuku Ward
SIGN    Gardens
SIGN    Stadium
SIGN    Kanda River
SIGN    Minato Ward
[09:22] ---
    After the incident at the Olympic Stadium,
     City Hall put up powerful barriers,
[09:29] ---
    so they wouldn't go this way.
SIGN    Kanda River
SIGN    Chidorigafuchi
SIGN    Shinjuku Ward
SIGN    Chiyoda Ward
SIGN    Minato Ward
[09:32] ---
    And if they did, they'd run into
     Chiyoda Ward and get stuck.
SIGN    Shinjuku Ward
SIGN    Chiyoda Ward
SIGN    Sumida River
SIGN    Minato Ward
SIGN    Sea
[09:36] ---
    And then they'd run into the Sumida River.
[09:39] ---
    A vampire can't cross bridges?
[09:40] ---
    Nope, they can't.
[09:42] ---
    Which means that Shinjuku
     is basically a vampire prison.
[09:47] ---
    The only way out is to follow
     the Kanda River to the southwest.
[09:54] ---
    And that would lead them to... here.
[09:57] ---
    Shinjuku Central Park.
[09:59] ---
    It's got a decent amount of
    greenery and no strong Anothers.
SIGN    Shinjuku Central Park
[10:03] ---
    The perfect place to hide.
[10:06] ---
    I'm sure they're here.
[10:09] ---
    Let's go.
[10:11] ---
    Right!
[10:12] ---
    You guys...
[10:14] ---
    I'm not going.
[10:18] ---
    This isn't Nocturnal Community
     Relations business.
[10:28] ---
    But... be careful.
[10:50] ---
    You can't go any further.
[10:53] ---
    We've sealed off the area.
[10:55] ---
    Civilians aren't allowed.
[10:59] ---
    Please, let me go.
[11:01] ---
    I'll take care of them! So...
[11:05] ---
    Theo-san...
[11:06] ---
    What can you do?
[11:10] ---
    Anothers can't be judged by our legal
     system. We can't even talk to them.
[11:15] ---
    And that Another's already killed four people.
[11:21] ---
    It has to be stopped.
[11:25] ---
    But they're Japan's last vampire.
[11:29] ---
    That matters to you, not to us.
[11:32] ---
    But even then...
SIGN    Unknown Caller
[11:39] ---
    Who's there?
[11:41] ---
    The star shouldn't keep the audience waiting.
[11:45] ---
    Saejima.
[11:46] ---
    I'm tired of this farce. Get up on
    the stage, Theo Himeduka.
[11:51] ---
    It's time for the show to begin.
[12:42] ---
    You're late.
[12:48] ---
    Look, it's your cute little research subject.
[12:53] ---
    Saejima.
[12:54] ---
    The humiliation you feel when the things
     you love are defiled before your eyes
[12:58] ---
    is something I understand well.
[13:10] ---
    Theo-san, they just said your name.
[13:14] ---
    The kid with the Ears of Sand...
[13:17] ---
    I'm jealous that you can hear their words.
[13:21] ---
    If I could've heard their screams
     as I ripped off their skin,
[13:24] ---
    I could've had much more fun...
[13:28] ---
    S-So, he's...
[13:31] ---
    Now all the actors have arrived.
[13:33] ---
    It's time for the greatest tragedy to begin.
[13:54] ---
    It's been a year, huh?
[13:58] ---
    I didn't know you'd learned my name.
[14:04] ---
    He can understand you.
[14:08] ---
    I didn't want to talk
    to you like this, though.
[14:15] ---
    There was so much I wanted to talk to you about.
[14:18] ---
    That's why I researched vampires.
[14:20] ---
    I learned everything I could.
[14:24] ---
    I wanted to know about you.
[14:27] ---
    I could see from your eyes that
     you knew what I was saying.
[14:32] ---
    But even so, somewhere in my
    heart, I was afraid of you,
[14:35] ---
    because you were a vampire...
     because you were an Another.
[14:39] ---
    I kept my distance.
[14:42] ---
    But when I saw Arata...
[14:44] ---
    When I saw him treating Anothers
     and humans the same way,
[14:47] ---
    I realized how rude I was being.
[14:51] ---
    I wanted to apologize.
[14:54] ---
    I'm sorry.
[14:58] ---
    Oh, so that was it?
[15:00] ---
    "Oh, so that was it?"
[15:02] ---
    I'm a coward, so the distance you kept
     from me made me feel so at ease.
[15:08] ---
    Ever since you started to visit,
[15:11] ---
    when I was alone, I finally had
     something to look forward to.
[15:15] ---
    I looked forward to your next visit.
[15:19] ---
    I am nothing but grateful to you.
[15:27] ---
    Let's go back to the wandering house.
[15:30] ---
    That's why you left that earring—
     that message for me—right?
[15:36] ---
    Maybe you won't have
     the freedom you had before,
[15:39] ---
    but still... but still... I want you to...
[15:47] ---
    ...me...
[15:54] ---
    "I want you to kill me," they said.
[15:58] ---
    Our desire for blood continues until we find
     a partner, get pregnant, and give birth.
[16:04] ---
    But I can't do that now,
     so this thirst will never end.
[16:10] ---
    The pain is unbearable.
[16:14] ---
    And the people I ate would've given
     life to my child, if I was pregnant.
[16:21] ---
    But I have no partner.
[16:23] ---
    The four I ate died for nothing.
[16:29] ---
    This is a very sinful thing.
[16:32] ---
    I don't want to sin anymore—
[16:35] ---
    Then... Then I'll figure something out!
[16:39] ---
    With your help, I may be able to make a drug
     that can suppress your desire for blood!
[16:44] ---
    I want to talk to you—
[16:46] ---
    No!
[16:48] ---
    I'm doing all I can to resist, even now...
[16:54] ---
    It's wrong for me to want to survive.
[16:57] ---
    If I do, I'll want blood again...
[17:01] ---
    Because... I really want to live!
[17:30] ---
    What was that?
[17:31] ---
    Hey, don't mess this up.
[17:35] ---
    It's their ability to charm people with
    extremely powerful pheromones.
[17:39] ---
    A vampire specialist doesn't
     even recognize that?
[17:44] ---
    They're at full strength now.
[17:46] ---
    I don't need to help them anymore.
[17:52] ---
    They can suck blood whenever
     they want, of their own will.
[18:05] ---
    You understand now, right, Theo?
[18:07] ---
    If I let my guard down for even
     a moment, it takes over!
[18:13] ---
    Theo!
[18:14] ---
    If I have to spend the rest of my
     life insane, longing for blood...
[18:19] ---
    While I still have my mind, I'd rather...
[18:21] ---
    They'd rather you kill them.
[18:23] ---
    Isn't there anything... There's no other way?!
[18:30] ---
    Please, Theo!
[18:32] ---
    "While I'm still me."
[18:41] ---
    There's nothing I can do?
[18:47] ---
    There is.
[18:49] ---
    Something only you can do.
[18:52] ---
    I want you to bury my ashes under the cherry
    blossom trees at the wandering house.
[19:00] ---
    When the humans killed the others,
[19:04] ---
    I gathered up their ashes
     and buried them under the trees.
[19:08] ---
    Next to my friends, who
     continued to bloom as flowers,
[19:12] ---
    the long time before my death didn't scare me.
[19:18] ---
    They want to go back to beneath those
     cherry trees, where their friends rest.
[19:22] ---
    And that's why you brought me here?
[19:24] ---
    You have to be the one to kill me.
    It can't be anyone else.
[19:31] ---
    Theo, you can do it!
[19:35] ---
    So... So...
[19:37] ---
    Give me your blood!
[19:41] ---
    Sakaki-san!
[19:55] ---
    Theo...
[20:35] ---
    Bravo! Bravo!
[20:38] ---
    Wonderful. Truly a wonderful tragedy!
[20:42] ---
    Yes, this is what I wanted
     to see, Theo Himeduka.
[20:47] ---
    Yosuke Saejima,
    you're under arrest for murder.
[20:54] ---
    Hey, wake up!
[21:08] ---
    T-Tell Theo...
[21:27] ---
    They want you to call them "Sakura."
[21:32] ---
    Is that your name?
[22:15] ---
    I thought it was unfair that I was the only
    one of us to know the other's name.
[22:23] ---
    But my voice wouldn't reach you...
[22:35] ---
    Sakura.
[22:42] ---
    What an unexpected miracle
     that you said my name.
[22:54] ---
    So many memories...
[22:57] ---
    Everyone called me that...
[23:09] ---
    I'll take care of it, Sakura.
[23:14] ---
    I promise that you'll...
[23:19] ---
    Thank you, Theo.
[23:42] ---
    I did it! I did it!
[23:45] ---
    What's wrong, Theo? Sad? Frustrated?
[23:49] ---
    All that fancy research, and you
     can't even save one poor Another.
[23:56] ---
    Know your powerlessness,
     and fall into despair.
[24:01] ---
    That's what you get!
[24:44] ---
    Theo-san...
[25:23] ---
    High-purity fairy dust produced
     by the Himeduka process.
[25:28] ---
    The Witch of the West?
[25:30] ---
    I-Impossible...
[25:32] ---
    You probably thought
     you were safe inside your cell.
[25:35] ---
    But the Witch of the West
    goes wherever she likes.
[25:41] ---
    A poorly-made copy.
[25:44] ---
    If you don't want Anothers coming after you,
[25:46] ---
    you should've gotten a real one,
     like the Tamao family bears.
[25:50] ---
    What are you doing?
[25:52] ---
    I wanted to teach you something.
[25:55] ---
    T-Teach me?
[25:58] ---
    I'm going to teach you how karma works.
[26:03] ---
    Wait!
[26:05] ---
    I can't...
[27:10] ---
    I'm a coward, so the distance you put
    between us made me feel so at ease.
[27:16] ---
    Ever since you started to visit,
[27:20] ---
    when I was alone, I finally had
    something to look forward to...
[27:26] ---
    These feelings, like old times.
[27:29] ---
    Waiting for you, almost as if...
[27:33] ---
    As if I was waiting for a friend.
[27:40] ---
    Theo, I don't know how you
    felt about it, though...
[27:55] ---
    Sakura.
[27:58] ---
    I... To me, you'll always...
