[00:04] ---
He's coming out! Koichi Tawarada!
[00:07] ---
Suspected of being involved in three murders,
[00:11] ---
Tawarada is the son of the leader
of the conservative Liberal Prosperity Party,
[00:14] ---
Kosei Tawarada, who is himself suspected
of destroying evidence.
[00:18] ---
Both men are being taken for questioning
at Mejiro Police Station.
[00:23] ---
I heard that these arrests came about
because of something you said, Akechi?
[00:28] ---
Merely a coincidence. I got lucky.
[00:30] ---
So what'll happen now?
[00:32] ---
I hear the suspect will plead insanity.
[00:34] ---
Huh. I wonder if he really is the
"second coming of the Detective Prince."
[00:40] ---
Welcome.
[00:41] ---
Hello.
[00:44] ---
Oh, that was pre-recorded.
[00:47] ---
Blend, please.
[00:49] ---
Comin' up.
[00:51] ---
The atmosphere here is wonderful, yes?
[00:55] ---
Such interesting knick-knacks.
[00:57] ---
May I use this?
[00:58] ---
Be my guest.
[01:00] ---
How about a game?
[01:02] ---
I don't know the rules.
[01:04] ---
Have you played shogi before?
[01:06] ---
A little.
[01:07] ---
Then it's fine. You'll pick it quickly.
[01:15] ---
Here you go.
[01:16] ---
Thank you very much.
[01:18] ---
Regarding the latest event...
[01:20] ---
What made you realize?
[01:22] ---
Sorry.
[01:25] ---
That's classified.
[01:28] ---
And regarding the Phantom Thieves...
Is it classified, too?
[01:31] ---
Yes, that's right. Top secret.
[01:34] ---
They scored a point against me
with Junya Kaneshiro.
[01:38] ---
You really regard them as the enemy?
[01:40] ---
Are we continuing
our previous discussion?
[01:43] ---
They uncover evil activities
and make them confess.
[01:45] ---
Their methods are problematic to me.
[01:49] ---
What if their methods aren't wrong?
[01:52] ---
I'll find out soon enough.
[01:54] ---
I'm already gathering info about them.
[02:01] ---
If you go there, the king will be trapped.
[02:06] ---
Before long, I'll be able to reveal...
[02:10] ---
The identities of the Phantom Thieves.
[03:43] ---
The Phantom Thieves are freakin' amazing!
[03:46] ---
They caught someone
even the cops couldn't nab!
[03:48] ---
Akechi's case is incredible, too!
[03:51] ---
I'm much more of a Phantom Thieves fan!
[03:54] ---
Whoa, check it out!
[03:55] ---
The number of people accessing
the Phan-Site is skyrocketing!
[03:58] ---
A big wave's coming!
[04:00] ---
I guess some credit goes to Kaneshiro.
[04:02] ---
Credit...
[04:04] ---
Sorry, that's going a bit far.
[04:06] ---
But look at all these comments.
[04:09] ---
Sure there are some weird ones,
but I check and filter them out.
[04:13] ---
Hey...
[04:13] ---
Don't worry. Leave it to me!
[04:15] ---
See ya later!
[04:17] ---
Is he okay?
[04:19] ---
A big wave's comin'!
[04:22] ---
Not you, too?!
[04:24] ---
Contain yourself.
[04:26] ---
But it really is amazing!
[04:28] ---
Wherever you look, there's something
about the Phantom Thieves!
[04:31] ---
We're totally famous!
[04:34] ---
We're certainly drawing a lot of attention.
[04:36] ---
I didn't hear from my sister directly,
[04:39] ---
but it sounds like the prosecutor's office
is starting to seriously look into us.
[04:42] ---
Meaning the more popular we are,
the more dangerous it gets.
[04:45] ---
That's why you're always sayin'
to be careful, right?
[04:47] ---
I know, I know!
[04:48] ---
I find it hard to believe it
when you say it, Ryuji!
[04:51] ---
What's that?!
[04:53] ---
There's also the man with the black mask.
[04:57] ---
Right. Caution should be our watchword.
[04:59] ---
Roger.
[05:00] ---
Hey, what do you got planned now, leader?
[05:02] ---
Wanna go to Mementos?
Now that we're on a roll!
[05:05] ---
What did I just finish telling you?!
[05:07] ---
No, I've got plans today.
[05:09] ---
Oh, okay.
[05:11] ---
Well, it's been a while,
so maybe I'll head to the arcade.
[05:14] ---
Hey, you wanna go to that one place?
[05:15] ---
You mean Cat Avenue, right?
[05:17] ---
What?! I like the sound of that!
[05:20] ---
You wanna go, Morgana?
[05:22] ---
Yeah, except I'm not a cat...
But if you insist, Lady Ann!
[05:27] ---
What are you gonna do, Yusuke?
[05:29] ---
Oh, I have plans as well.
[05:31] ---
Then let's go!
[05:31] ---
Oh. Maybe I'll play Gun Shooting King...
[05:32] ---
- Yeah, let's go!
- I can't wait!
[05:37] ---
Sorry. Is it any trouble?
[05:39] ---
Nah.
[05:41] ---
I need advice.
[05:43] ---
Ever since Kaneshiro turned himself in,
the public expects more criminal breakthroughs.
[05:48] ---
The day before Kaneshiro came forward,
[05:50] ---
there were reports of calling cards
put up by the "Phantom Thieves of Hearts."
[05:53] ---
Since it's come to this,
we can't overlook them.
[05:56] ---
The police are making demands, as well.
[05:59] ---
The Phantom Thieves case...
Can I leave it to you?
[06:02] ---
Yes, sir. I promise to get you results.
[06:06] ---
It's clear that these abnormal incidents have
caused some anxiety throughout our country.
[06:11] ---
This situation must be approached
with the utmost seriousness.
[06:14] ---
I shall continue to put forth great effort
so every citizen can live with peace of mind.
[06:21] ---
A slump?
[06:23] ---
Like a bottomless bog.
[06:25] ---
No matter what I paint, it's trash.
[06:27] ---
Look.
[06:29] ---
"Sayuri" has beauty that fascinates people.
[06:32] ---
My only goal was to pursue
pure beauty like that.
[06:36] ---
I have a scholarship, but if I were to lose it,
I would likely have to leave the school.
[06:42] ---
Therefore, I must continually enter
into competitions to remain eligible.
[06:47] ---
A painting for money,
acknowledgment, student life...
[06:51] ---
I'm no different from Madarame!
[06:55] ---
You seem stressed.
[06:57] ---
I'll speak frankly.
[06:59] ---
I want your help.
[07:01] ---
To escape your slump?
[07:03] ---
The beauty of a work is born
from the soul of its artist.
[07:07] ---
What is a soul? It's the heart.
[07:10] ---
Then what is the heart?
How does it bring forth such beauty?
[07:14] ---
I must understand the human heart.
[07:18] ---
Okay. I'd be glad to help.
[07:21] ---
Wonderful!
[07:23] ---
What exactly do you need?
[07:25] ---
Be my bodyguard.
[07:27] ---
To acquire inspiration
I must make leisurely observations.
[07:31] ---
In the Metaverse,
which has moved me the most...
[07:35] ---
In Mementos.
[07:41] ---
You're a card, Mr. Takahashi.
[07:46] ---
Yes! Inspiration has struck!
[07:49] ---
Such brilliant composition!
[07:52] ---
My heart races!
[07:53] ---
This is a true treasury of motifs!
[07:56] ---
Glad to hear it.
[07:57] ---
This distorted realm,
the manifestation of human desire...
[08:01] ---
How can a thing that produces such beauty
also create such morbid fabrications?
[08:06] ---
But it is also the human heart!
[08:08] ---
Hurry. Enemies could–
[08:14] ---
How inelegant!
[08:16] ---
I shall cut you down
for interrupting my work!
[08:22] ---
Goemon!
[08:25] ---
Lamia!
[08:36] ---
It's complete.
[08:37] ---
The title is "Desire."
[08:39] ---
The ominousness of desires and
the abyss of the heart I witnessed in Mementos
[08:44] ---
helped me to paint a marvelous piece.
[08:47] ---
It's because of you. My thanks.
[08:50] ---
Not at all...
[08:53] ---
No one's looking at it.
[08:56] ---
That's because I didn't paint it on a level
that just anyone could understand.
[08:59] ---
But if someone with a discerning eye...
[09:00] ---
Oh? What's this?
[09:03] ---
You see?
[09:04] ---
The technique is excellent...
But the composition's mediocre, at best.
[09:09] ---
Are you the artist?
[09:11] ---
Why do you consider it mediocre?
[09:13] ---
"DESIRE"
YUSUKE KITAGAWA
[09:13] ---
The title is listed as "Desire",
but the idea is overused.
[09:18] ---
If you want to paint an abstract work
with such an old theme,
[09:21] ---
you need to inject some
individuality into it.
[09:25] ---
Look carefully at this with your own eyes.
[09:28] ---
What does this painting tell you?
[09:31] ---
It's empty.
[09:32] ---
You used color and brushwork
to produce tarted-up "emptiness."
[09:44] ---
Certainly, it was emptiness.
[09:46] ---
It did not convey the true meaning of desire,
only my conception of it.
[09:51] ---
That gentleman's keen eye was correct.
[09:55] ---
Don't let it get you down.
[09:56] ---
I apologize for my comments in there,
Yusuke Kitagawa.
[10:01] ---
Who are you?
[10:03] ---
This is who I am.
[10:06] ---
Director of the Japanese Art
Support Foundation...
[10:09] ---
Akio Kawanabe?
[10:10] ---
Do you have some time?
[10:18] ---
Please, help yourself.
[10:21] ---
Don't concern yourself with the price.
[10:24] ---
I've known about you for some time now.
[10:27] ---
Your delicate portraits of beautiful women
are reminiscent of "Sayuri," right?
[10:31] ---
Are you in a slump at the moment?
[10:33] ---
Well...
[10:35] ---
My day job is as an art dealer,
[10:37] ---
but I'm also the director of a foundation
that invests in promising young artists.
[10:44] ---
It's a shame when talent is buried
due to lack of funding.
[10:48] ---
What do you think, Kitagawa-kun?
[10:50] ---
Would you let us support you?
[10:53] ---
Allow us to remove your financial anxiety
and supply you with a creative environment.
[10:58] ---
Materials or themes, and if needed,
we can even prepare a studio.
[11:04] ---
Your work could sell well.
[11:06] ---
You're not only handsome, but a former
student of the infamous Madarame.
[11:10] ---
I'm positive customers would jump
at the chance to meet you.
[11:13] ---
Wait a minute. What does that mean?
[11:16] ---
That I would only be successful
because I have a potential sales hook?
[11:20] ---
Do you believe your work
could sell on its own merits?
[11:25] ---
I thought you were prepared
to make a living as an artist.
[11:29] ---
Shut your mouth!
[11:30] ---
Without money, it's hard to eat.
[11:33] ---
That's reality.
[11:35] ---
If you change your mind, contact me.
[11:40] ---
Such vulgarity!
[11:43] ---
Yusuke...
[11:45] ---
- Sorry about yesterday.
[11:46] ---
- Sorry about yesterday.
- I'll contact you again.
[11:50] ---
Hi.
[11:52] ---
Hang out with me.
[11:55] ---
YONGEN-JAYA BATTING CENTER
[11:55] ---
While pursuing the Phantom Thieves,
I went over the Madarame case,
[11:59] ---
and came across dark rumors
about Kawanabe.
[12:02] ---
He offers to sponsor young,
aspiring painters,
[12:06] ---
but ties them to disadvantageous
exclusive contracts,
[12:08] ---
then demands immense payments,
supposedly to cover the cost of the exhibit.
[12:13] ---
Other than that,
[12:15] ---
he takes kickbacks from scholarships.
[12:17] ---
But I lack proof.
[12:19] ---
Why tell me?
[12:21] ---
The one you were with, Yusuke Kitagawa,
was Madarame's former disciple, yes?
[12:25] ---
Kawanabe and Madarame
were once fellow students.
[12:28] ---
It'd be a damn shame if Kitagawa
fell prey to both of them.
[12:34] ---
It's got nothing to do with
pursuing the Phantom Thieves.
[12:37] ---
People's desires cause them
to commit crimes.
[12:39] ---
As a detective, I uncover those crimes.
[12:50] ---
Makes it seem like
I'm a Phantom Thief.
[12:53] ---
How about this?
[12:55] ---
You could set up a meeting with Kawanabe.
[12:57] ---
You'd be nearby,
so Kitagawa would be protected.
[13:00] ---
Then I can get my proof.
[13:06] ---
Sounds good.
[13:11] ---
I got a call from Kawanabe.
[13:14] ---
Apparently there's a Foundation-sponsored
public exhibition coming up.
[13:18] ---
He said that if I'm confident,
I should exhibit a painting.
[13:21] ---
Fine, I shall.
[13:23] ---
I'll show him that I have real talent.
[13:25] ---
For that sake, I'll paint and paint
until I drop!
[13:30] ---
That's cool, but...
[13:31] ---
But what?
[13:33] ---
What's this?
[13:34] ---
I thought being here would inspire me.
[13:37] ---
The theme is the anguish of original sin!
[13:40] ---
I will bring anguish to its utmost limits!
[13:42] ---
Easy for you to say–
[13:43] ---
Don't move!
[13:44] ---
You lowered your arms!
[13:46] ---
Bend your back more
and raise your leg higher!
[13:49] ---
Don't move!
[14:32] ---
I'm stumped.
[14:34] ---
The flow of money eventually
comes to an end.
[14:37] ---
Hayashi Holdings, Tsuji Gallery,
Harada Managing...
[14:40] ---
I've identified the principals.
[14:42] ---
How are they able to hide it so cleverly?
[14:45] ---
Am I missing something?
[14:49] ---
You can't force them to cooperate
in an investigation?
[14:52] ---
Without concrete proof,
I can't get a warrant.
[14:56] ---
Therefore, my options are limited.
[15:02] ---
Huh...
[15:03] ---
Shujin's student council president?
[15:06] ---
Well? Is he making any trouble at school?
[15:09] ---
Oh, not at all.
[15:12] ---
Is it that complicated?
[15:15] ---
Desires?
[15:16] ---
I don't really get it,
[15:18] ---
but wanting to be praised by someone,
wanting money...
[15:21] ---
I think those are fine examples of passion.
[15:24] ---
Passion?
[15:25] ---
Yes, but...
[15:26] ---
If we're talkin' that, then I was full
of desires while on the track team.
[15:31] ---
Wanting to win, beat everyone else,
[15:33] ---
break records and
have girls scream over me...
[15:36] ---
What else?
[15:38] ---
For the sake of the other members...
[15:40] ---
When I'd get tired, if I thought I was doin' it
for someone else, I could hang in there.
[15:44] ---
Someone else...
[15:46] ---
I don't think having desires is bad.
[15:49] ---
It depends on what you do with them.
[15:51] ---
That's right.
[15:52] ---
If they give you that feeling,
like "I'm gonna do it!",
[15:55] ---
then I think it's a positive.
[15:57] ---
But I'm pursuing beauty
as pure as the "Sayuri"...
[16:00] ---
Yusuke, you call it "pure beauty,"
[16:03] ---
but the first time I saw "Sayuri,"
it felt more gentle to me.
[16:08] ---
I mean, it felt like she was watching over me,
telling me everything was gonna be okay.
[16:18] ---
Ann said "gentleness."
[16:20] ---
The heart is dark, ugly,
and distorted like this,
[16:24] ---
and yet, there's also
the beauty of loving others...
[16:29] ---
Say, Joker...
[16:31] ---
When my mother was painting "Sayuri",
what do you think was on her mind?
[16:36] ---
She wanted it to impart something with me,
and everyone else who saw it...
[16:40] ---
Something?
[16:42] ---
Love, regret, loneliness, anxiety,
calm, forgiveness... and hope.
[16:49] ---
All of the emotions my mother felt.
[16:51] ---
That's why "Sayuri" is beautiful.
[16:56] ---
Thank you, Joker.
[16:58] ---
Just as my mother created
that painting for others,
[17:01] ---
I will wield the brush again to give hope
to all who see my paintings.
[17:04] ---
I like the sound of that.
[17:07] ---
Your patience in spending time with me
made me able to arrive at this feeling.
[17:13] ---
Watch me.
[17:14] ---
Someday, I will use my art
to paint over the blackness of this world.
[17:20] ---
I'm sure it will be beautiful.
[17:23] ---
I'm looking forward to it.
[17:31] ---
Oh?
[17:33] ---
I saw the list of works to be exhibited.
Looks like you'll have one on display.
[17:36] ---
Yes, that is my intention.
[17:38] ---
Perhaps you should reconsider,
before you embarrass yourself.
[17:42] ---
After all, the winner's spot
is not simply yours for the taking.
[17:45] ---
Either way, I don't mind.
The more the merrier, after all!
[17:50] ---
Director.
[17:51] ---
Yes.
[17:54] ---
Mr. Kawanabe!
[17:56] ---
Have you heard of Hayashi Holdings,
Tsuji Gallery, and Harada Managing?
[18:01] ---
I've never heard of them,
but why do you ask?
[18:05] ---
Nevermind.
[18:07] ---
Ren, what was that about?
[18:09] ---
Nothing.
[18:12] ---
The winner's spot...
[18:15] ---
I was hoping to prove my talent to him
by taking the top prize home.
[18:18] ---
But that no longer matters to me.
[18:21] ---
Instead, I will enter my painting
merely to expose it to others.
[18:29] ---
Shit! Shit! That brat!
[18:31] ---
Since he said the names of the companies,
Kawanabe is sure to catch on!
[18:35] ---
I have to get rid of this stuff!
[18:36] ---
It's hard to see
what's right under your nose.
[18:38] ---
No wonder nothing came up
when I investigated Kawanabe.
[18:42] ---
To think the mastermind
would be his right-hand man.
[18:46] ---
Goro Akechi!
[18:48] ---
Is that documented evidence?
[18:52] ---
Give it up. You can no longer escape.
[18:58] ---
WINNING PIECE: YUSUKE KITAGAWA
"DESIRE AND HOPE"
[19:02] ---
It's a good painting.
[19:03] ---
The title is "Desire and Hope"... I see.
[19:07] ---
Humans possess both beauty and ugliness.
[19:10] ---
Th-Thank you very much.
[19:13] ---
This painting has quite an appeal.
[19:16] ---
Um, did you...
[19:18] ---
I threw a cheap challenge to Kitagawa-kun
with the intent to encourage him.
[19:23] ---
I apologize.
[19:24] ---
Why would you do that?
[19:26] ---
Madarame and I were good friends,
but we had a falling-out.
[19:32] ---
We both had high hopes,
[19:34] ---
but Madarame was swallowed by dark desires
as he obtained authority in painting circles,
[19:38] ---
while I went through hardships
as the vanquished loser.
[19:42] ---
I didn't want others like him
being born from this world.
[19:46] ---
That's why I started this foundation.
[19:49] ---
I didn't know...
[19:51] ---
People change.
[19:53] ---
One time before we cut all ties,
he called me up in the middle of the night.
[19:58] ---
He was panicking that the nearby clinics
were closed and that his kid had a fever.
[20:03] ---
"What should I do?" he asked.
[20:06] ---
The human heart is a strange thing.
[20:08] ---
It can't completely separate
black from white.
[20:11] ---
You've achieved a deserving victory here.
[20:14] ---
So how about it?
Would you like our support?
[20:17] ---
Without the overbearing
marketing production, of course.
[20:21] ---
Thank you.
[20:24] ---
However, I respectfully decline.
[20:27] ---
What makes you say that?
[20:29] ---
I'm not going to change.
[20:31] ---
I won't be stained by desire.
[20:33] ---
After all, I can see hope.
[20:36] ---
If I am lost, they will extend their hands.
If I am wrong, they will chastise me.
[20:43] ---
As long as I have them, I'll be fine.
[20:45] ---
I see...
[20:49] ---
You have good friends.
[20:56] ---
Thank you, Ren.
[20:59] ---
I reiterate my promise to you.
[21:02] ---
Should you ever stumble and fall...
[21:04] ---
I'll extend my assistance to you.
[22:39] ---
It's reported that the money embezzled
from the Japanese Art Support Foundation
[22:43] ---
was funneled to the secretary of Diet member
Kaneura of the Liberal Prosperity Party.
[22:48] ---
You were a huge help.
This one was solved thanks to you.
[22:48] ---
The prosecutor's office has
begun an investigation.
[22:51] ---
Saying the names of those companies
to rattle the real culprit...
[22:55] ---
Give me a break.
[22:56] ---
Huh?
[22:57] ---
After some thought, it was obvious.
[22:59] ---
Kawanabe was innocent,
but there was his subordinate.
[23:04] ---
What if I hadn't said anything?
[23:06] ---
But you did. That's my answer.
[23:11] ---
What would you say if
I asked you to be my assistant?
[23:15] ---
I've been looking for a talented partner.
[23:18] ---
I support the Phantom Thieves.
[23:20] ---
Then are we enemies?
[23:21] ---
Certainly, people commit crimes
due to desires.
[23:24] ---
But that's not all.
[23:26] ---
I can't help but think the Thieves
willfully tamper with people's minds.
[23:30] ---
What if they became reckless?
[23:32] ---
What if they began to control people
to satisfy their own desires?
[23:36] ---
It would be the end of the world.
[23:39] ---
That won't happen.
[23:40] ---
Why not?
[23:41] ---
Their actions speak for themselves.
[23:44] ---
They may be criminals
in the eyes of adults, but...
[23:47] ---
So we have a difference of opinion.
[23:49] ---
If they keep to their principles
and get the job done...
[23:56] ---
Without a doubt,
[23:58] ---
that would be justice.
