    It worked!
[00:48] TETSUO/I
    That was close.
[00:50] TETSUO/I
    I didn't know he came back to change.
[00:53] TETSUO/I
    905...
[00:58] [Messenger] SIGN
    I'll get a cab there. See you in
    front of the station at 7PM!
[01:00] KASEN
    Oh, Reika-chan!
[01:02] REIKA
    Oh, Mom.
[01:04] KASEN
    What a coincidence.
[01:05] KASEN
    I'm grocery shopping.
[01:07] KASEN
    What are you up to?
[01:09] KASEN
    Are you done with your errands?
[01:11] KASEN
    Hm? Hm?
[01:13] REIKA
    Um, well...
[01:15] KASEN
    Shall we go home together then?
[01:18] REIKA
    What? Well, actually...
[01:21] KASEN
    Or are you meeting up with someone?
[01:23] REIKA/I
    She can be unnecessarily sharp!
[01:25] REIKA
    With a friend from college.
[01:28] REIKA
    Since I took a week off.
[01:30] KASEN
    A boy?
[01:32] REIKA
    Um, no.
[01:33] KASEN
    Then maybe I'll say hello.
[01:37] REIKA/I
    What?
[01:38] REIKA
    That'd be too embarrassing, so don't!
[01:41] REIKA
    You can go home by yourself!
[01:45] KASEN
    Wh-What about me is so embarrassing to you?!
[01:54] REIKA
    What?!
[02:12] TETSUO
    There's only one security camera.
[02:19] TETSUO
    Hello?
[02:20] KASEN/I
    It's me.
[02:23] KASEN
    I happened to see Reika-chan
    in front of the station.
[02:27] KASEN
    We're thinking about heading home soon.
[02:32] TETSUO
    Phew.
[02:34] KASEN/I
    You come home soon too, dear.
[02:38] TETSUO
    Yes, I will.
[02:40] KASEN
    We'll have dinner together.
[02:43] REIKA/I
    I need to email him to cancel...
[02:43] KASEN
    Okay. Yes.
[02:51] TETSUO/I
    903... 904...
[02:54] TETSUO/I
    905...
[02:57] TETSUO/I
    I'm coming home to you,
    no matter what I have to do.
[03:01] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    I wonder what it means to love
[03:07] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    The definition in the dictionary
    doesn't click for me
[03:11] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    Indeed, what does love mean?
[03:16] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    Maybe it's this pain that
    words can't fully express
[03:24] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    Pairing up a beginning with an end
[03:29] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    God can be so cruel, right?
[03:34] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    I'm sure we are the brave ones
[03:39] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    Because we forge on,
    knowing there is an end
[03:43] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    No matter what I may have to sacrifice
[03:48] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    I will get my hands dirty again and again
[03:54] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    Sense of guilt can feel like regret
[03:59] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    I hide it as I go, but where
    does this road lead me to?
[04:06] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    Someday you will die
[04:08] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    Just the thought of it pains me
[04:11] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    Who is crushing my heart in their fist?
[04:14] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    You must be love
[04:16] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    One day the end may come
[04:19] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    To tear us apart
[04:21] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    But I will run to the ends of the world
[04:26] [SONG] OP LYRICS
    At a speed no one can catch up

[04:37] TETSUO/I
    Here we go! Thumb-turn tool!
[04:41] TETSUO/I
    A thumb-turn tool is one of the tools home
    intruders use to open residential locks.
[04:50] TETSUO/I
    Insert the tool from the outside, and
    by pushing down the thumb-turn inside,
[04:58] TETSUO/I
    it unlocks the door!
[05:00] TETSUO/I
    The mailbox slot and gaps around
    doors are frequent targets.
[05:03] TETSUO/I
    Other times, they may break
    the door to use this tool.
[05:07] TETSUO/I
    Who knew I'd be studying up
    on criminal activity like this...
[05:13] TETSUO/I
    On the way up here, I checked out
    the building layout on the internet.

[05:19] TETSUO/I
    From the photos of the entrance, I've
    estimated the position of the thumb-turn.
[05:29] TETSUO/I
    It went through!
[05:30] TETSUO/I
    And then... it goes like this...
[05:36] TETSUO/I
    And like this... and do this!
[05:40] TETSUO/I
    Again! Do this, and this!
[05:44] TETSUO/I
    Do this, and...
[05:51] TETSUO/I
    I can feel it's there.
[05:54] TETSUO/I
    Ten minutes have passed.
[06:02] TETSUO/I
    It's stuck!
[06:21] TETSUO/I
    Change of plan!
[06:29] TETSUO/I
    Kyoichi's apartment is on the ninth
    floor of a ten-story building.
[06:32] TETSUO/I
    Other than the front door,
    I can enter by...
[06:36] TETSUO/I
    gaining access from the roof!
[06:41] TETSUO/I
    Naturally, it's locked.
[06:47] TETSUO/I
    It's open!
[06:53] TETSUO/I
    The window is big enough to go
    through, and there's no fence.
[06:58] TETSUO/I
    Is there anything...
    I can tie... a rope to...
[07:05] TETSUO/I
    Whoa!
[07:12] TETSUO/I
    No good.
[07:14] TETSUO/I
    The thumb-turn was a failure.
[07:16] TETSUO/I
    Even if I wanted to get in from the roof,
    I don't have enough time or the right tools.
[07:25] TETSUO/I
    No more cards to play.
[07:32] (Flashback) KASEN
    You... You protect us.
[07:37] (Flashback) REIKA
    They're my family.
[07:40] TETSUO'S FATHER
    Listen, justice is always right beside you.
[07:48] TETSUO/I
    Yes, Father!
[07:59] TETSUO
    Oh, please stop right here!
[08:04] TETSUO
    Um, I'll be right back. And
    I'm going to leave my bag here.
[08:10] DRIVER
    Okay.
[08:32] TETSUO
    Did something happen?
[08:38] [Messenger] SIGN
    I'm sorry, but something has
    come up...
[08:38] REIKA/I
    I'm sorry, but something has come up.
[08:41] REIKA/I
    Maybe some other day.
[08:41] [Messenger] SIGN
    I'm sorry, but something has
    come up...
[08:41] [Messenger] SIGN
    Maybe some other day...
[08:41] [Messenger] SIGN
    I'm sorry, but something has
    come up...
[08:47] KYOICHI
    You... Why do you look tired?
[08:54] TETSUO
    I guess you could say I gave it my best shot.
[09:01] KYOICHI
    Your GPS is on.
[09:03] KYOICHI
    You should know that running
    away isn't going to help.
[09:07] KYOICHI
    Whatever.
[09:13] KYOICHI
    This is where Nobuto was last seen,
    and then he disappeared.
[09:17] KYOICHI
    There's no witness.
[09:19] KYOICHI
    Then, is there a possibility
    that he never left this room?
[09:28] KYOICHI
    What if Nobuto died in this room?
[09:32] KYOICHI
    That's where this light comes in.
[09:36] TETSUO/I
    An alternate light source...
[09:39] TETSUO/I
    You see those in procedurals.
[09:41] TETSUO/I
    They make blood and
    fingerprints glow in the dark.
[09:46] TETSUO/I
    Naturally, it would react
    to Nobuto's bloodstain.
[09:58] KYOICHI/I
    Nothing's showing.
[10:04] KYOICHI/I
    So there's no chance
    Nobuto was murdered here.
[10:14] KYOICHI/I
    But why does it feel like something is off?
[10:21] KYOICHI
    Yeah, it's me.
[10:23] KYOICHI
    About that light I asked you to get...
[10:25] KYOICHI
    Did you grab a cheap one?
[10:27] MAN A/I
    What?! It cost like 100,000 yen!
[10:31] MAN A
    I left the receipt in there.
[10:34] MAN A
    You can check that...
[10:39] MAN A/I
    Oh, Kyoichi-san.
[10:40] MAN A
    I left that envelope in your mailbox.
[10:46] MAN A
    The one you emailed me about,
    to leave at your house.
[10:51] KYOICHI
    I never sent an email like that!
[10:54] KYOICHI
    It's not in the sent messages either!
[10:55] MAN A
    What?! Should I forward you mine?
[11:02] MAN A
    Kyoichi-san, maybe you let
    someone touch your laptop?
[11:08] MAN A/I
    Just forwarded it to you.
[11:10] [Messenger] SIGN
    Sorry to use you as a runner, but I'm
    going to leave an envelope in the mailbox.
    When you come to deliver the items can
    you take the envelope and drop it in the
    mailbox at my place?
    
    No need to report back to me upon delivery.

[11:26] KYOICHI/I
    His GPS hasn't moved.
[11:28] KYOICHI/I
    I called him to check as well.
[11:31] KYOICHI/I
    Damn it!

    Restarting...
[11:37] TETSUO
    By the way...
[11:39] TETSUO
    Are you and Takeda-san not on good terms?
[11:44] KYOICHI
    Huh?
[11:45] KYOICHI
    What about Takeda?
[11:48] KYOICHI
    The other day, one of the guys
    that was watching me gave me a ride.
[11:55] TETSUO
    We happened to talk about
    the two of you a little bit.
[12:02] KYOICHI
    Bullshit.
[12:04] KYOICHI
    Only morons believe stupid rumors.
[12:06] TETSUO
    But there was something that concerned me.
[12:11] TETSUO
    Takeda-san is looking
    into you behind your back.
[12:16] TETSUO
    He suspects that you are
    the one who killed Nobuto.
[12:23] TETSUO
    S-So, I think it might be Takeda-san
    who sent that mysterious email.
[12:27] [Messenger] SIGN
    Restarting...
[12:32] KYOICHI/I
    Shit, I've reset it to factory settings!
[12:37] TETSUO
    It just occurred to me now, but...
[12:40] TETSUO
    That computer is issued from
    the organization, correct?
[12:44] TETSUO
    Is it possible that something
    was planted in it to begin with?
[12:50] TETSUO
    Have you actually checked it?
[12:54] KYOICHI
    Then what is the envelope he
    wanted delivered to my place?
[12:58] KYOICHI
    What is he trying to transport by using me?
[13:01] TETSUO
    Guns or drugs?
[13:04] KYOICHI
    That's impossible!
[13:05] KYOICHI
    They could be traced back
    to him and get him arrested.
[13:08] KYOICHI
    There's no benefit for him.
[13:11] TETSUO
    Then...
[13:13] TETSUO
    Oh!
[13:14] KYOICHI
    What?
[13:15] TETSUO
    Let's go right now!
[13:17] KYOICHI
    Huh?
[13:19] TETSUO
    To your apartment!
[13:21] TETSUO
    Something is going on... behind our backs!
[13:26] TETSUO
    The envelope probably contains evidence
    that frames you as Nobuto's killer.
[13:47] KYOICHI
    Yeah, that's right.
[13:50] KYOICHI
    Are you sure you left the envelope there?
[13:56] KYOICHI
    Okay, got it.
[13:58] KYOICHI
    I'll look into it on my end.
[14:02] TETSUO
    So it wasn't there, then?
[14:04] TETSUO
    Then maybe it's in your apartment already...
[14:11] TETSUO
    Ouch!
[14:20] KYOICHI
    Don't look up until we get to my apartment.
[14:23] KYOICHI
    Keep your eyes on the floor.
[14:25] TETSUO
    Okay...
[14:31] KYOICHI
    Keep your head down.
[14:32] TETSUO
    Yes...
[14:43] TETSUO/I
    A security cover!
[14:47] TETSUO/I
    So even if I kept at it, the door
    never would have opened.
[14:53] TETSUO/I
    He is a professional.
[14:56] TETSUO/I
    He's much more alert and
    vigilant than regular people.
SIGN    One Hour Ago
[15:08] (Flashback) TETSUO
    Sorry!
[15:13] (Flashback) TETSUO
    I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting.
[15:16] (Flashback) TETSUO
    Please go.
[15:17] (Flashback) DRIVER
    Okay, let's get going.
[15:22] [Messenger] SIGN (vertical)
    Standard Type
[15:22] [Messenger] SIGN (horizontal)
    Sharp blades that cut well
[15:23] TETSUO/I
    A black light, a stapler, scissors...
[15:28] TETSUO/I
    The biggest problem is Kyoichi's ALS light.
[15:37] TETSUO/I
    I'm sure he suspects that Nobuto
    was killed in Reika's room.
[15:41] TETSUO/I
    That's why he asked for an ALS light.
[15:45] TETSUO/I
    So I'll switch it with a regular black light,
    so that it can't detect bloodstains.
[15:54] TETSUO/I
    But the problem with this trick is that
    fingerprints will also stop showing up.
[16:01] TETSUO/I
    It's impossible that a room
    wouldn't have any fingerprints!
[16:09] TETSUO/I
    He may not realize it at first because
    he's so focused on the bloodstains,
[16:15] TETSUO/I
    but I'm sure he's sharp enough
    to notice it quickly.
[16:20] TETSUO/I
    So I'll distract him with
    a different subject...
[16:24] (Flashback) TETSUO
    By the way... Are you and Takeda-san—
[16:28] (Flashback) TETSUO
    S-So, I think it might be Takeda-san
    who sent that mysterious email.
[16:34] TETSUO/I
    I almost gave up once.
[16:37] TETSUO/I
    But somehow...
[16:41] TETSUO/I
    I managed to get here.
[16:45] KYOICHI
    Raise your head.
[16:49] TETSUO/I
    Kyoichi's apartment...
[16:51] TETSUO/I
    This is probably my last chance!
[16:58] TETSUO
    Does anything feel or look different to you?
[17:02] KYOICHI
    No...
[17:04] KYOICHI
    I only come here to sleep sometimes, so...
[17:07] TETSUO/I
    Not a lot of stuff...
[17:09] TETSUO/I
    So he can move out right away?
[17:13] TETSUO/I
    But there are quite a
    few cooking utensils...
[17:16] KYOICHI
    So?
[17:18] TETSUO
    Oh, I think you should open the box.
[17:22] KYOICHI
    It doesn't look like the tape
    has been ripped off.
[17:25] TETSUO
    Switching out the whole box
    is an elementary trick.
[17:29] KYOICHI
    But how would they enter this room?
[17:32] KYOICHI
    It's impossible to pick the lock.
[17:36] TETSUO
    In this mystery book I read, they took out
    the whole door and installed a new one.
[17:45] TETSUO
    That might not be practical,
[17:48] TETSUO
    but stealing the master key
    from the superintendent's room
[17:52] TETSUO
    or someone from the organization
    secretly duplicating your key...
[17:58] TETSUO
    There are a number of ways to do it.
[18:01] KYOICHI
    You think we'll find anything?
[18:04] TETSUO
    The possibilities include Nobuto's
    wallet, his cell phone,
[18:08] TETSUO
    or something he used to wear.
[18:12] TETSUO
    How about inside the fridge?
[18:20] KYOICHI
    What?
[18:21] TETSUO
    Oh, it's just that since you
    have so many cooking utensils,
[18:24] TETSUO
    I thought you might have
    lots of ingredients.
[18:28] KYOICHI
    I told you, I only come here
    to sleep sometimes.
[18:32] KYOICHI
    I'm planning to open a restaurant...
    in the near future.
[18:37] TETSUO
    I didn't know you had a dream like that.
[18:40] KYOICHI
    What do you mean by that?!
[18:42] TETSUO
    N-Nothing.
[18:44] TETSUO
    Um, what's over here?
[18:46] KYOICHI
    Don't go outside!
[18:48] KYOICHI
    I'll check it out.
[18:49] TETSUO
    Okay.
[18:52] TETSUO/I
    He's so thorough.
[19:00] TETSUO
    What's in that closet?
[19:02] KYOICHI
    My safe.
[19:06] KYOICHI
    If the cops designate us as
    an organized crime group,
[19:09] KYOICHI
    my bank account will be frozen.
[19:12] KYOICHI
    Plus, not a lot of us
    use banks to begin with.
[19:15] TETSUO/I
    So the organization was more of a quasi-gang
    rather than an organized crime group.
[19:19] TETSUO
    Then we should check the safe as well.
[19:22] KYOICHI
    Turn around.
[19:24] TETSUO
    Okay.
[19:26] TETSUO/I
    This is it!
[19:27] TETSUO/I
    If I could somehow use this safe...
[19:36] KYOICHI
    Nothing out of ordinary.
[19:38] TETSUO
    But if someone is going to frame you,
[19:41] TETSUO
    I'm sure they would hide it
    somewhere inconspicuous.
[19:46] TETSUO
    Perhaps you should check all storage spaces.
[19:50] KYOICHI
    Why are you trying so hard?
[19:55] KYOICHI
    You're pretending to cooperate,
[19:58] KYOICHI
    but you want me to be
    framed as the killer, right?
[20:02] TETSUO
    You're sharp.
[20:05] TETSUO
    I'm doing it to survive.
[20:08] TETSUO
    But you're not the one I
    want to frame, Kyoichi-san.
[20:13] TETSUO
    It's Takeda-san.
[20:14] TETSUO
    If Takeda-san is trying to frame you,
[20:19] TETSUO
    I thought we could use that to
    turn the tables on him!
[20:27] KYOICHI
    Don't make me laugh.
[20:30] KYOICHI
    My father was killed by yakuza.
[20:33] KYOICHI
    I'm sure of it! He was murdered!
[20:37] KYOICHI
    But they used their influence
    to make it go away,
[20:41] KYOICHI
    and the police fed us the story
    that it was suicide.
[20:43] KYOICHI
    That's when I knew...
[20:45] KYOICHI
    might makes right.
[20:47] KYOICHI
    The weak don't even have
    the right to see justice through!
[20:52] KYOICHI/I
    That's why I acquired power.
[20:55] KYOICHI
    To do what I consider just.
[20:58] TETSUO/I
    Looking back, it was a strange encounter.
[21:02] TETSUO/I
    He suspected me, kidnapped me,
    and he hurt me too.
[21:08] TETSUO/I
    We almost died together as well.
[21:12] TETSUO/I
    I never dreamed that I would have such
    a close relationship with this man.
[21:19] TETSUO/I
    But tomorrow, one of us will die.
[21:22] [Messenger] SIGN
    One of us will die
[21:23] KYOICHI
    You and I will never work together.
[21:27] KYOICHI
    I will find the proof and
    make you turn yourself in.
[21:29] KYOICHI
    To me, that is power and justice!
[21:33] TETSUO/I
    Is it really possible?
[21:36] TETSUO/I
    Can I beat him?
[21:40] TETSUO/I
    Could I make it back home alive?
