[00:05] Amamiya     One of the serial murders     causing a stir in Aichi Prefecture [00:08] Amamiya     apparently happened here. [00:10] Amamiya     Eagle Eye Kawasemi is coming. [00:12] Toto     Eagle Eye Kawasemi?! [00:14] Toto     With the top serial murder     clearance rate in the country? [00:16] Toto     The super-skilled detective? [00:18] Toto     The guy they say might become     superintendent general in his twenties? [00:21] Toto     The Kawasemi Omito?! SIGN    Aim to be police     superintendent general! [00:26] Toto     Oh crap! That's right! [00:27] Toto     Amamiya-senpai is also gunning     to be superintendent general! [00:31] Amamiya     The detective overseeing      the joint operation... [00:34] Amamiya     will be you, Isshiki. [00:35] Toto     What? Me? [00:37] Amamiya     Like I'd ever lend Kawasemi     any of my best men! [00:40] Toto     That was backhandedly brutal! [00:47] Amamiya     He's here. [00:48] Toto     Huh? [00:59] Kawasemi     Your button is about to fall off! [01:02] Kawasemi     Trim your nails! [01:04] Kawasemi     Your necktie is sloppy! [01:06] Kawasemi     Your glasses are covered in fingerprints! [01:08] Kawasemi     You missed spots shaving! [01:08] detective E     Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! [01:17] Kawasemi     Chaos... [01:19] Kawasemi     is the enemy of our work. [01:21] Toto     He's terrifyingly impressive. [01:23] Amamiya     Not one drop of water     gets past his eagle-eyed checks. [01:25] Amamiya     He uses those tweezers     as deftly as threading a needle. [01:28] Amamiya     And because he orders     his superiors around the same way, [01:30] Amamiya     he's hard to peg for abuse of power.     An unusual sort of scum. [01:34] Toto     Senpai, do you know Kawasemi-san personally? [01:37] Amamiya     When I was a newbie, we were     at the same small, local station. [01:40] Amamiya     Our paths split after that, though. [01:47] Kawasemi     I despise anything pointless. [01:50] Kawasemi     My many years of experience are telling me [01:52] Kawasemi     something I'll share quite frankly. [01:54] Toto     I-I'm about to get the eagle-eyed check! [01:58] Kawasemi     You are so unsuited to be     a detective that it's tragic. [02:01] Kawasemi     Zero aptitude. [02:02] Toto     Is that like "zero sugar"? SIGN    Ron Kamonohashi's SIGN    Forbidden     Deductions SIGN    #05 The Case of the Hand Collector [03:43] Kawasemi     You seem well, Amamiya. [03:47] Kawasemi     You have some dust on your shoulder. [03:51] Amamiya     Just try touching me, scum. [03:53] Amamiya     I'll slit your throat. [03:56] Toto     What's with this atmosphere? [04:00] Kawasemi     You haven't changed at all. [04:04] Kawasemi     Yamane. [04:05] Yamane     Sir? [04:06] Toto     How long have you been there? [04:07] Yamane     A fresh set of tweezers for you. [04:09] Yamane     And with regards to the case, [04:12] Yamane     I've compiled files on similar     cases from all over. [04:15] Yamane     The red are local to the city,     the blue are domestic, [04:17] Yamane     and the yellow are from overseas. [04:20] Amamiya     Your partner? [04:21] Kawasemi     Yes. I am the greatest detective in history,     and he is my right-hand man. [04:25] Yamane     Oh, hardly. I'm just glad to get      to work with you, Kawasemi-san. [04:30] Toto     So he's able to please     the incredibly exacting Kawasemi-san? [04:34] Toto     That's amazing. [04:36] Amamiya     Kawasemi. [04:37] Amamiya     I'll lend you the man who     caught your eagle eye for this job, [04:40] Amamiya     Isshiki Totomaru here. [04:42] Toto     H-Hello. [04:44] Kawasemi     Are you doing this to spite me? [04:45] Amamiya     I'd call it making a snide remark. [04:48] Toto     This is a living hell. [04:50] Kawasemi     How strange. [04:52] Kawasemi     I can't even see him. [04:53] Toto     He's erased my very existence?! [04:56] Kawasemi     We're off to the scene, Yamane. [04:57] Yamane     Yes, sir. [04:58] Yamane     I've bought a bento you can eat in the car. [05:01] Toto     U-Um... [05:02] Amamiya     Do you now understand what a kind boss I am? [05:05] Toto     I really do! You actually see me! SIGN    Tokyo Central Art Museum [05:12] Kawasemi     What's the situation, Yamane? [05:14] Yamane     The truck belongs to a company     from Aichi Prefecture, sir. [05:18] Yamane     The driver was told the cargo     was works of art such as statues. [05:23] Kawasemi     And one of the statues turned out     to be a dead body, is that right? [05:27] Toto     A dead body? [05:32] Toto     His... [05:34] Toto     His hands are gone! [05:35] Toto     Who would kill in such a cruel manner? [05:38] Kawasemi     So it's the same MO? [05:39] Toto     Huh? By "the same," you mean... [05:42] Kawasemi     Let's investigate the body, Yamane. [05:43] Toto     Right, he can't see me! [05:46] Toto     I mean, to Eagle Eye Kawasemi,     I'm probably nothing more than a hindrance... [05:51] Toto     But after seeing such a grisly corpse, [05:53] Toto     I can't stand silently by and just watch! [05:55] Toto     Except... what am I supposed to do? [05:57] Ron     You called, Toto? [06:01] Ron     It's me! [06:02] Toto     Who are you?! [06:04] Toto     Someone with "Kamo" in his name? [06:05] Ron     Yes! I've come to save you. [06:08] Toto     No one asked for your help. [06:10] Ron     But you're at a loss, aren't you? [06:12] Ron     Your lips flap when you think to yourself,     so you're easy to read. [06:16] Ron     Hey there! Haven't seen your face      around here before. [06:21] Ron     I am a consultant in all matters     involving hands. [06:28] Ron     I am the hand puppet master,     Tekemono Kamomi! [06:31] Toto     A crazy bomb just went off! SIGN    Consultant in All Things Hands SIGN    Tekemono Kamomi [06:35] Kawasemi     A consultant? [06:37] Kawasemi     Did Amamiya arrange this? How unnecessary. [06:40] Kawasemi     I cannot have this investigation     hindered by some lackluster civilian. [06:44] Kawasemi     Kindly take your leave. [06:45] Ron     Don't worry. I'm not lackluster, you see. [06:49] Kawasemi     Is that so? [06:50] Ron     You look like you have something to say.     Please, by all means. [06:58] Kawasemi     A platypus's bill is commonly thought     to be hard like a bird's beak, [07:01] Kawasemi     but it's actually soft like rubber! [07:04] Kamokyun     Ow! [07:08] Kawasemi     Th-The feel of rubber! [07:09] Ron     I insisted on it, of course.     It's a charming feature of the platypus. [07:15] Kawasemi     I will allow you to accompany me,     but do not get in the way. [07:19] Toto     Was that a hint of acknowledgment? [07:21] Ron     That detective is quite outstanding. [07:23] Toto     He's absolutely incredible! [07:25] Toto     He has the top serial murder     clearance rate in the nation. [07:28] Toto     People call him Eagle Eye Kawasemi because     he sees through everything in an instant! [07:32] Ron     Wh-What? [07:35] Ron     That tweezer-wielding bastard! [07:38] Toto     His poor face! [07:40] Ron     He's not beating me! [07:41] Ron     Toto, no matter what,     we're catching the culprit first! [07:45] Toto     Sorry to rain on your parade,      but that's not happening. [07:48] Toto     Thing is, Kawasemi-san's not      letting me in on anything. [07:51] Ron     Not a problem. [07:52] Toto     What? [07:53] Ron     I have something that belongs     to Kawasemi-kun. [07:56] Toto     That's Yamane-san! [07:58] Yamane     If you'd just asked, I would have told you. [08:02] Yamane     This case follows the same MO      as three other murders in Aichi Prefecture. [08:08] Yamane     The perpetrator kills his victims     with a single stab to the heart. [08:12] Yamane     And then, for some reason, he severs     their hands and takes them with him. [08:17] Toto     How creepy. [08:19] Yamane     Because of his bizarre MO,     we've been calling him... [08:22] Yamane     the Hand Collector. [08:23] Kamokyun     The Hand Collector! [08:24] Eripyon     What a cool name! [08:26] Toto     I'm shocked how annoying that is. [08:28] Ron     An unusual killer that even     Eagle Eye Kawasemi can't capture... [08:32] Ron     The Hand Collector, huh? [08:34] Ron     How terrifying.     It could turn you pale with fright. [08:37] Toto     Don't say that while you     look pleased as punch! [08:39] Yamane     Kawasemi-san is amazing. [08:41] Yamane     He narrowed the list down      to just a few suspects. [08:46] Yamane     Then, last night, while informally     questioning one of them, [08:50] Yamane     we realized he had nothing     to refute our suspicions. [08:55] Yamane     That man has to be the Hand Collector. [08:58] Kamokyun     Wow! [08:59] Yamane     But... [09:03] Yamane     he put up a huge fight and fled      into an abandoned factory. [09:09] Yamane     There were only two ways     in and out of the building. [09:13] Yamane     Kawasemi-san and I split up to try     to catch him in a pincer maneuver. [09:18] Yamane     I found the culprit first. I was able     to subdue and handcuff him, but... [09:25] Kawasemi     He managed to shake Yamane off. [09:29] Kawasemi     I rushed there, and the culprit      came barreling at me. [09:31] Kawasemi     Though it's unthinkable, I let him escape. [09:36] Kawasemi     That is why I must be     the one to close this case. [09:43] Toto     B-But if you know what     the culprit looks like, [09:46] Toto     it won't be long before     you apprehend him, right? [09:47] Kawasemi     About that... [09:49] Kawasemi     I don't know how, [09:51] Kawasemi     but the man we believed to be     the Hand Collector last night... [09:56] Kawasemi     is now the handless corpse     sitting before you. [09:59] Toto     What? SIGN    Tokyo Central Art Museum [10:09] Toto     The victim was the Hand Collector? [10:13] Ron     In other words, the real Hand Collector [10:15] Ron     is still out there somewhere. [10:18] Toto     Hey! [10:21] Ron     Excuse me. [10:24] Ron     You're dressed lightly for this time of year. [10:27] Ron     So you were killed in a heated room. [10:29] Ron     Or you're a half-hearted exhibitionist. [10:31] Toto     Of course he's not! [10:33] Ron     What's this? [10:34] Ron     This tattoo... [10:35] Ron     A tree branch? [10:37] Ron     No. This is... [10:40] Ron     Oh, I know! It's kelp! [10:42] Yamane     It's a bird. [10:44] Yamane     I remember seeing it when I handcuffed him. [10:47] Yamane     That's definitely the guy from last night. [10:50] Ron     I see. [10:54] Ron     Well, this is a problem! [10:56] Toto     What is it? [10:57] Ron     I can't get these puppets off! [10:59] Toto     Can we stay on track?! [11:00] Kawasemi     Dear, dear. It seems this was a huge waste. [11:04] Kawasemi     I don't have the time to play     with you. Go home. [11:07] Ron     Kawasemi-kun, I'm disappointed in you! [11:09] Toto     You're the one getting told to go home! [11:15] Toto     What did you even come here for? [11:18] Ron     Can't you pull any harder? [11:19] Toto     Shut up! [11:29] Yamane     Ow, ow, ow... [11:31] Toto     I'm so sorry! [11:35] Kawasemi     Can't you behave properly? [11:37] Toto     Y-Yes, sir. [11:39] Ron     Impressive, Detective Isshiki!     It's just as you deduced. [11:42] Toto     What? [11:43] Ron     That's made everything clear. [11:45] Ron     Kawasemi-kun is lying. [11:49] Ron     I'll say just one thing. [11:51] Ron     It won't be Eagle Eye Kawasemi     who catches the Hand Collector. [11:56] Ron     It'll be the pure, naïve fool,     Detective Isshiki! [12:00] Kawasemi     You think I'm lying, do you? [12:02] Kawasemi     On what grounds? [12:03] Toto     Huh? Well... [12:05] Ron     Kawasemi-kun, you easily dodged     Detective Isshiki charging at you just now. [12:10] Ron     With such exceptional reflexes     and physical agility, [12:14] Ron     there's no way a handcuffed culprit      would ever get past you. [12:21] Kawasemi     Then you rushed at me on purpose just now? [12:24] Kawasemi     I've heard one of Amamiya's new subordinates [12:27] Kawasemi     has been brilliantly cracking cases lately. [12:31] Kawasemi     I don't suppose... [12:34] Ron     So you admit you lied, correct? [12:40] Kawasemi     Yes. [12:43] Kawasemi     Yamane handcuffed the culprit      and allowed him to get away. [12:47] Kawasemi     I wasn't present for it. [12:50] Kawasemi     I was watching the factory's     other exit, you see? [12:53] Ron     Why the lie? [12:55] Kawasemi     That day, Yamane was missing      a button on his sleeve. [12:59] Toto     Huh? [13:01] Kawasemi     I knew immediately from his expression. [13:04] Kawasemi     Though Yamane is an outstanding subordinate, [13:06] Kawasemi     these grotesque serial murders     have unnerved him. [13:10] Kawasemi     And as I could have predicted,     Yamane made a mistake in the final play. [13:16] Kawasemi     But I was aware of my     subordinate's mental state [13:19] Kawasemi     and failed to give him appropriate     guidance. It was on me. [13:23] Toto     So you covered for him     and said you let the culprit get away. [13:28] Toto     I thought he was cold,     but he cares about his assistant. [13:32] Yamane     I'm sorry! This is all my fault! [13:35] Yamane     I even made Kawasemi-san lie for me! [13:39] Kamokyun     What's this, Yamane-kyun? [13:41] Kamokyun     You're missing a button on your sleeve again. [13:44] Yamane     What? [13:47] Yamane     It can't be! I-It's gone! [13:51] Kawasemi     Yamane. [13:52] Yamane     I'll find it immediately! [13:53] Yamane     It must've come off      when Isshiki-san ran into me... [13:56] Yamane     Where is it? Where is it?! [13:59] Kamokyun     It's over here. [14:03] Kamokyun     It's perfect for a new eye! [14:05] Toto     Hey! Don't upcycle it without permission! [14:09] Yamane     I'm so glad. [14:11] Yamane     I found it this time.... [14:18] Ron     Thank you for saying that. [14:20] Toto     Huh? [14:21] Ron     We only realize what's most important [14:25] Ron     after it's gone. [14:28] Yamane     What? [14:33] Ron     All right, take it away. [14:35] Spitz     Okay. [14:36] ---     Speaker [14:37] Spitz     How've you been, Tototo? [14:39] Toto     Wait, "Tototo"? Where've I heard that before? [14:41] Spitz     Hint: It's your new best friend! [14:41] ---     Speaker [14:46] Toto     That laugh! You're the tracking— [14:49] Toto     Spitz? [14:50] Spitz     B-B-Bingo! [14:52] Spitz     I've looked into all kinds of stuff. [14:54] Spitz     The body in the truck is Mushanokouji Minoru. [14:57] Spitz     Perpetual part-timer. Forty-eight years old. [14:59] Spitz     I'm at his place right now... [15:03] Spitz     and it's absolutely unreal. SIGN    Hands [15:06] Spitz     If there were a world competition     for hand obsession, SIGN    Hands [15:08] Spitz     he'd represent Japan and be     guaranteed a top place. SIGN    Hand Heaven [15:13] Spitz     His precious collection     is nicely refrigerated here, too. [15:19] Spitz     Three people's worth of hands. [15:23] Spitz     The man in the truck, Mushanokouji,     is definitely the Hand Collector. [15:28] Ron     Thanks. That was a great help. [15:30] Kawasemi     What was all that? [15:32] Toto     Er, uh... [15:35] Toto     What's all this sticky stuff?     B-Black sugar syrup? [15:38] Ron     Sorry. It went off by accident. [15:40] Ron     Let's go wash it off. [15:41] Toto     Why would you even need that function?! [15:43] Toto     Seriously! I'm all sticky now. [15:44] Ron     Come on, let's go. [15:47] Ron     Oh, Kawasemi-kun? [15:51] Ron     When we get back,     Detective Isshiki says he'll solve the case. [15:54] Kamokyun     So just you wait, okay? [15:58] Kawasemi     He'll solve it? [16:22] Kawasemi     I hear you're going to solve the case. [16:24] Kawasemi     Very well. I'll humor the nonsensical     ramblings of a rookie detective. [16:28] Toto     Okay. [16:29] Toto     As the information you just received     from the Aichi police confirms, [16:33] Toto     Mushanokouji is without a doubt      the Hand Collector serial killer. [16:39] Kawasemi     Yes, he is. [16:41] Yamane     Hold on! [16:42] Yamane     Mushanokouji's hands were taken too, right? [16:47] Toto     Meaning that was done to make us think     there's another Hand Collector. [16:51] Toto     It's the work of a copycat. [16:53] Kawasemi     That's rather obvious. [16:55] Kawasemi     The real question is, [16:57] Kawasemi     why would they go to the trouble     to imitate such a brutal murder? [17:01] Toto     Actually, they didn't murder anyone. [17:04] Toto     Mushanokouji... [17:06] Toto     killed himself. [17:08] Kawasemi     What? [17:12] Toto     Mushanokouji stabbed himself in the heart, [17:15] Toto     splattering blood on his jacket sleeves. [17:18] Toto     In order to make his death look like a murder, [17:20] Toto     someone removed and hid his jacket. [17:23] Kawasemi     You mean to say that's why     he's dressed so lightly. [17:26] Yamane     Still, why would he kill himself? [17:28] Toto     Once he was cornered by you two, [17:30] Toto     the serial killer had no choice     but to accept his fate. [17:35] Kawasemi     If that's true, he took his life      in that abandoned factory. [17:40] Kawasemi     But we and Mushanokouji     were the only people there. [17:45] Kawasemi     It can't be. That means the person who      took Mushanokouji's hands was... [17:49] Toto     That's right. [17:51] Toto     It was the first person to find     Mushanokouji after he killed himself. [17:58] Toto     Yamane-san, that would be you! [18:00] Yamane     Wha?! [18:01] Yamane     I-It couldn't possibly be me! [18:05] Toto     You cornered Mushanokouji     in the abandoned factory at night. [18:09] Toto     I'm sure it was pitch black in there. [18:11] Toto     It would've been impossible to see anything. [18:13] Toto     The culprit's tattoo is in     a hard-to-spot place on his wrist [18:17] Toto     and it's difficult to make out, [18:19] Toto     so how did you instantly know it was a bird? [18:25] Kawasemi     Yamane... [18:26] Yamane     He's wrong! It wasn't me! [18:28] Toto     Still trying to gloss over everything? [18:31] Toto     You really can't tell Kawasemi-san, can you? [18:34] Toto     That you lost your handcuffs. [18:40] Toto     Earlier, when Yamane-san      lost his button, he panicked [18:45] Toto     and said, "I found it this time." [18:48] Toto     In other words, he's already     lost something important to him. [18:53] Toto     Something which, for example,     might compromise police integrity. [18:58] Toto     The reason you were so on edge that day [19:00] Toto     is because you'd lost your cuffs, wasn't it? [19:05] Toto     That day, when you found the Hand Collector     had killed himself, you had an idea. [19:11] Toto     To make it seem like he'd fled after you      handcuffed him, you hid his body. [19:16] Toto     Then you severed his hands. [19:21] Toto     So when the body was found      handless afterward, [19:25] Toto     it would look like the Hand Collector     had taken the cuffs along with his hands. [19:31] Toto     No one would know you'd lost them. [19:33] Kawasemi     Impossible! [19:34] Kawasemi     My best subordinate would never— [19:36] Toto     That's exactly the problem! [19:38] Toto     It's obvious how much you value Yamane-san. [19:43] Toto     But the pressure of that... [19:45] Toto     It meant Yamane-san couldn't allow     himself to be any less than your ideal. [19:59] Yamane     I'm sorry, Kawasemi-san! [20:02] Yamane     I've left a black mark on your career! [20:16] Yamane     The responsibility was     too much for me to bear! [20:19] Yamane     I couldn't meet your expectations! [20:45] Kawasemi     Yamane. [20:48] Kawasemi     It will be difficult to reinstate you     as a police officer. [20:54] Kawasemi     However... [20:56] Kawasemi     As long as you have the will, [20:59] Kawasemi     I'll be waiting for my partner to return. [21:22] Kawasemi     There's no need for both members     of a team to be police officers, is there? [21:27] Kawasemi     Like how you two solved this mystery. [21:32] Kawasemi     Don't underestimate my eyes. [21:35] Kawasemi     Just as I was able to focus on investigating     because Yamane was with me, [21:40] Kawasemi     this puppet master needs you to harness [21:43] Kawasemi     his full ability, doesn't he? [21:48] Ron     Impressive, Eagle Eye— [21:49] Toto     No, no! That's not the issue here! [21:52] Toto     This guy makes all kinds of messes, [21:54] Toto     so I have to keep an eye on him      or he's worthless! [21:56] Ron     How am I worthless? [21:59] Toto; background     Hey, that's right. You didn't try     to pressure the culprit today. [22:00] Kawasemi     So this is Isshiki Totomaru. [22:03] Ron; background     He wasn't a murderer.     Yamane-kun didn't kill anyone, right? [22:04] Kawasemi     You've got a good man there... [22:06] Kawasemi     Amamiya. [22:07] Toto     That's how it works?!
