[00:14] vice principal
    Five years ago, we expelled him
[00:18] vice principal
    and barred him from obtaining
    a detective's license.
[00:30] Emé
    We at BLUE seek the truth.
[00:33] Emé
    And to ensure that justice is never
    overshadowed by evil, we train detectives.
[00:38] Emé
    We cannot have a detective who kills people.
[00:42] Emé
    To determine whether he
    has resumed detective work,
[00:45] Emé
    it is necessary to determine
    the veracity of this information.
[00:52] Spitz
    I believe I'm suited to the task.
[00:57] Emé
    Very well.
[00:58] Emé
    I will entrust this to you.
[01:00] Emé
    I officially order an investigation
    of Kamonohashi Ron.
[01:05] Emé
    Our goal is nothing more
     than to verify the intel we've received.
[01:09] Emé
    Agitate him, and you risk
     granting him an opportunity to flee.
[01:14] Emé
    Refrain from direct contact as much as possible.
[01:18] Emé
    Even if you catch him in the act of sleuthing,
[01:21] Emé
    you are to report back first.
[01:23] Spitz
    Understood.
[01:33] vice principal
    And if he truly is acting as a detective,
    what do you intend to do?
[01:39] Emé
    That should be evident.
[01:41] Emé
    We cannot allow such tragedy
    to happen again.
[01:45] Emé
    Kamonohashi Ron's crimes are clear.
[01:50] Emé
    If the intel we've received is true,
[01:53] Emé
    there is but one punishment to hand down.

    Thank you.

    Just one, huh?
[05:08] Ron
    To decide who'll do it, we'll play

[05:11] Toto
    It's fine. Just spin it.
[05:12] Ron
    Much obliged. I'd be happy to.

    My, you seem raring to go, young man.
[05:32] Toto
    Huh?

    We have a winner!
    The grand prize is a hot spring vacation!

    It's perfect for you two.
    It happens to be a couple's package.
[05:43] Toto
    You've got the absolute wrong idea about us!
[05:45] Ron
    I spun for it, so I'll go twice.
[05:48] cashier man
    You can't do that.
[05:50] cashier man
    They're for a fixed date,
    and reawarding them would be tragic.
[05:54] cashier man
    If you two won't go,
    then we'll just cancel them.

    You fellas have incredible luck!
[06:42] driver
    It was pouring rain at Benizome
    Hot Spring up until yesterday.
[06:45] Toto
    Really?
[06:46] driver
    But as you can see,
    today the weather is lovely.
[06:51] driver
    Oh, I have a pamphlet for the inn.
    Here, you can have it.
[06:55] Toto
    Oh, thank you.
[06:57] driver
    Do you fellas know how this
     hot spring got its name, "Benizome"?
[07:02] Ron
    No.
[07:03] driver
    Long ago, the fall leaves on the mountain
    turned a certain crimson called "beni,"
[07:08] driver
    and a lord who saw it reflected
    in the hot spring gave it that name.
SIGN    Benizome Hot Spring

    Wow. I'm really looking forward to this.

    Th-The annex?!
[07:31] driver
    In that case, you want this one.
    I'm really sorry.
[07:34] Ron
    Why are you apologizing?
[07:36] driver
    Because we made the pamphlet
    for the annex ourselves.
[07:40] driver
    I really am sorry.
[07:41] Ron
    Seriously, why are you apologizing?
[07:43] Toto
    A single black and white photocopy?
[08:00] driver
    Well, this is where I leave you!
[08:05] Toto
    He left as quickly as he could.

    This is a very interesting inn.

    Welcome!

    You have reservations under

    What's this?
[08:35] Spitz
    Thank you for your service
    with the police force, Isshiki-sama.
[08:39] Toto
    What? How did you know I'm with the police?
[08:41] Spitz
    Your shoes.
[08:43] Spitz
    The leather of the toes is scuffed.
[08:46] Spitz
    That only happens if you run all-out in them.
[08:50] Spitz
    And the only professionals
     who run in their leather shoes
[08:53] Spitz
    are police detectives
     chasing down criminals, I think.
[08:56] Toto
    What an amazing deduction!
[08:58] Ron
    Don't be fooled, Toto.
[08:59] Toto
    What?
[09:02] Toto
    Ow!
[09:02] Ron
    When it comes to professionals
     running in leather shoes,
[09:05] Ron
    I think a reporter might be just as likely.
[09:06] Ron
    You only knew that
    through our reservations.

    Please come to the Beni Room.
[09:40] Ron
    With dinner at a predetermined time,
[09:43] Ron
    does that mean there are
    other guests staying here?
[09:45] Spitz
    Yes. Today, we have three parties with us.
[09:49] Toto
    Really?
[09:50] Spitz
    So we would very much appreciate it
    if you weren't late to dinner.
[09:55] Toto
    All right.
[09:57] Toto
    Ow!
[09:59] Spitz
    Please enjoy your stay.
[10:00] Toto
    There're more people here than I thought.
[10:03] Ron
    Should we hit the bath first?
[10:05] Toto
    Yeah, let's.
[10:08] Spitz
    That insight!
[10:11] Spitz
    He is, without a doubt, Kamonohashi Ron!
[10:20] Toto
    Wow, this bath is really impressive!
[10:25] Toto
    I mean, getting to soak
    while overlooking the river...
[10:27] Ron
    It's not bad at all.
[10:29] Toto
    The building's a wreck,
    but the bath is the best!
[10:32] Ron
    If only it were stained crimson,
    it would be perfect.
[10:35] Toto
    Like the story the cab driver told?
[10:37] Ron
    That's just what they tell the public.
    There's also a secret legend.
[10:40] Toto
    A secret one?
[10:42] Ron
    As you can see,
    the river has steps and runs swift.
[10:46] Ron
    They say it often overflows.
[10:48] Ron
    This caused problems for the villagers,
    so they sacrificed a young lady to it.
[10:53] Ron
    The next day, the floodwater receded,
[10:55] Ron
    but they say that for days afterward,
    the river and hot spring ran crimson.
[11:00] Toto
    Where'd you hear that terrifying story?
[11:02] Ron
    It was in that pamphlet earlier.
[11:05] Toto
    The one the driver made?
[11:07] Toto
    Well, we don't exactly want
    the water running red.
[11:09] Ron
    Of course we don't!
[11:11] Toto
    Your face is saying the opposite!
[11:15] Toto
    That tattoo is bigger than I thought it was.
[11:19] Ron
    You mean this scar?
[11:20] Toto
    It's a scar?
[11:22] Ron
    I once suffered injuries all over my body,
[11:25] Ron
    yet this was the only one that scarred.
[11:27] Toto
    It looks like some kind of symbol or number.
[11:29] Ron
    Yeah. I like it because there's a six in it.
[11:32] Toto
    Six?
[11:33] Ron
    A number I associate with my birth.
[11:37] Ron
    Toto, you're your grandma's boy, so you'd like

    Are you tired?

    Yes, this is a nice place, isn't it?

    Thank you for waiting.
    Here's the dish you requested.
[12:03] Ron
    Thanks.
[12:05] Toto
    What type of slime is that?!
[12:07] Ron
    It's omurice covered in black sugar syrup.
[12:09] Toto
    Right. You were drinking that the other day...

    It's the source of my brainpower.

[13:03] Toto
    I'm terrified to hear the rest of that list.

    Now, let's play! Let's play this instant!
[13:07] Toto
    Wait! Hey!
[13:11] Toto
    I'm so sorry.
[13:13] Toto
    Everyone's in the middle of their meals!
    We haven't finished eating either!
[13:17] Toto
    Besides, you're supposed to play
     ping-pong at hot springs, right?
[13:20] Ron
    Ping-pong, huh?
[13:22] Ron
    I suppose I can save the fun for later.
[13:24] Toto
    For now, let's just eat our dinner.
[13:33] Toto
    The place is really going to ruin, huh?
[13:42] Ron
    I've found something interesting, Toto.
[13:44] Toto
    Huh?
[13:45] Ron
    An old scroll that tells the secret
    story of the crimson hue.
[13:50] Toto
    What a creepy drawing!
[13:51] Ron
    Perhaps the death of a young woman
    really did dye all the waters red.
[13:57] Toto
    Quite trying to scare me!
[14:00] Ron
    I've found a ball and paddles.
[14:02] Ron
    Since we're doing this,
    why don't we play with a special rule?
[14:06] Toto
    A special rule?
[14:07] Ron
    That's right. A very special rule.
[14:10] Toto
    What is it?
[14:12] Ron
    Whoever loses...
[14:16] Ron
    has to be the winner's slave for life!
[14:20] Toto
    Wha?! Hang on!
[14:26] Ron
    Looks like I win.
[14:28] Toto
    That wasn't fair.
[14:33] Toto
    Is there a spare ball?
[14:34] Ron
    I only found the one.
[14:36] Toto
    We're going to get it.
[14:46] Toto
    The ball floated off somewhere and
    I'm getting cold. Let's head to the bath.
[14:51] Ron
    Don't forget that I won.
[14:53] Ron
    Your first job as my slave is to steal
     unsolved case files from the station!
[14:59] Toto
    Like I can do that!
[15:04] Toto
    Ah, this really is paradise...
[15:09] Amamiya
    Work just wouldn't end,
    and I had to walk from the station.

[15:57] Amamiya
    Isshiki the fool is one thing,
[15:59] Amamiya
    but to think even Kamoo-san
    went into the women's bath...
[16:03] Toto

    Pardon me.

    I promise I will avenge you.

    W-We can't have civilians
    entering the crime scene!

    There aren't any obvious external injuries,
    but something clearly isn't right.

    There weren't this many
    fallen leaves here last night.

    This crimson layer on the water...
    It's like that story.

    The one about the young sacrifice
    that made the hot spring turn red.
[20:08] Michiyo
    What if it's a curse?!
[20:09] Toto
    Th-That can't be.
[20:12] Ron
    What an interesting perspective.
[20:14] Toto
    Huh?
[20:15] Ron
    But Detective Isshiki here
    just can't stop doubting people.
[20:22] Ron
    Isn't that right?
[20:23] Toto
    Huh?
[20:24] Toto
    Y-Yeah.
[20:26] Toto
    Um, did you notice anything between
    the hours of midnight and 2 AM?
[20:32] Toto
    Someone suspicious or a strange sound?
    Anything at all.
[20:36] hostess 2
    I'm sorry.
[20:37] hostess 2
    Our in is small, so we take turns.
[20:40] hostess 2
    There's only ever one
     of us on the night shift.
[20:43] Spitz
    And that was me.
[20:47] Toto
    You were in the lounge.
[20:49] Spitz
    Yes. I was watching over all of you,
    so I can provide a statement.
[20:55] Spitz
    I believe you all saw for yourselves
[20:58] Spitz
    that only one individual
    returned to their room
[21:01] Spitz
    before the late missus left for hers.
[21:07] Spitz
    Isn't that right...
[21:10] Spitz
    Detective Amamiya?
[21:15] Michiyo
    Now that you mention it, that's true.
[21:18] Toto
    W-Wait just a minute, please!
[21:21] husband
    I remember that, too!
[21:23] husband
    So the one who did this is...
[21:24] Toto
    There's no way it was her.
[21:30] Ron
    It wasn't.
[21:33] Ron
    Amamiya-kun isn't the culprit.
[21:36] Ron
    It was someone else
    who's here with us right now.
[21:43] husband
    What are you saying?
[21:44] husband
    She left first.
    That's a fact.
[21:47] Michiyo
    I saw it, too.
[21:48] Ron
    It's true that she's the only one
    with an uncertain alibi.
[21:53] Ron
    But the simple act of creating this
    situation was impossible for her.
[22:01] Ron
    And I can prove it to you right now.
