SIGN    #06 The Case of the Live Broadcast Murder [02:09] Ono     Let's start the live broadcast of     Psychic Abilities: Fact or Fiction? [02:13] Ono     I'm Ono Yako, your host. [02:16] Ono     On our show, a psychic and a      neurosurgeon go head to head [02:20] Ono     in an attempt to verify psychic powers. [02:23] Ono     The one demonstrating their power SIGN    Psychic     Torage Dankichi [02:25] Ono     is a psychic you all know, Torage-san! [02:29] Ono     And up against him is the genius     neurosurgeon with miraculous hands... SIGN    Neurosurgeon     Usaki Mofu [02:33] Ono     Oh. [02:35] Ono     Mofu-sensei, the show has started! [02:36] Mofu     What? Already? [02:39] Ono     Please look toward the camera. [02:42] Toto     Is she severely injured?! [02:45] Ron     She's got more bandages again. [02:46] Toto     Huh? [02:47] Mofu     Oh, I'm so sorry. [02:49] Ono     Doctor, what happened to your face? [02:51] Mofu     I was cutting an apple     and the knife sprang back at me. [02:54] Mofu     Sorry, I'm really bad at wrapping bandages. [02:58] Ron     Mofu-sensei is odd,     so she's lots of fun to watch. [03:01] Toto     Is she really a genius surgeon? [03:04] Ron     Her procedures are accurate to 0.001mm.     She's a globally preeminent super doctor. [03:10] Mofu     Ouch! [03:11] Mofu     I was adjusting my mic     and it clipped to my chin! [03:14] Mofu     Ow! [03:17] Toto     How clumsy can you be?! [03:20] Ono     Well, Torage-san, what sort     of power will you show us today? [03:23] Torage     The time has finally come to demonstrate     what I'm truly capable of. [03:27] Torage     Today, I will show you I can     control a mind using only writing. [03:30] audience     What? Huh? [03:32] Ron     That sounds intriguing! [03:33] Ron     You can do this, Torage! [03:35] Toto     Ron, you believe in psychic stuff? [03:37] Ron     Not at all. [03:39] Toto     Huh? Then why are you cheering him on? [03:41] Ron     Because if psychic powers were real,     solving cases would be more fun. [03:46] Ron     I'd love to crack even more      complicated mysteries. [03:50] Ron     You seem like the gullible type     who'd just shout, "That's amazing!" [03:54] Toto     I'm not that easily taken in.     You don't give me enough credit. [03:57] Torage     If you can resist my psychic influence, [04:01] Torage     I will reward you with 100,000 yen. [04:04] Torage     Any volunteers? [04:05] audience     Over here! [04:05] audience     Me, me! [04:07] Torage     I'll take you in the white hoodie. [04:10] subject     All right! I'm gonna get     that 100,000 yen! [04:16] Torage     I will say in advance that what's about     to happen is not by power of suggestion. [04:22] Torage     What I write on this card     will exert direct control of him. [04:26] Torage     The subject is wearing noise-canceling     headphones prepared by the staff. [04:31] Torage     With those on, he can't hear a thing. [04:34] Torage     Nevertheless, the instant he reads this... [04:42] subject     My body's... [04:44] subject     Wait, huh? What?! [04:45] audience     Huh?! [04:47] audience     No way! [04:48] Toto     That's amazing! [04:49] Ono     He's doing exactly     as the card says in English! [04:52] Ono     Everyone, a round of applause for Torage-san! [04:57] Torage     This is the next word. [04:59] Torage     He will heed it and obey      regardless of his own will. [05:05] subject     Huh? [05:06] subject     S-Seriously?! [05:07] Toto     Amazing... Just amazing! [05:10] Ono     This time, the word "run"     made him start running! [05:12] Ono     Is his mind really being controlled     by what's written on these cards?! [05:16] Ron     Will Mofu-sensei pick up on it? [05:19] Toto     Huh? [05:22] Mofu     You're mocking neuroscience. [05:24] Ono     Usaki-sensei will now give her rebuttal! [05:26] Mofu     Was the subject really chosen at random? [05:30] Toto     What? [05:31] Torage     Of course. What gives you any doubt? [05:35] Mofu     Just like your fingerprints,     you can't change the way you move. [05:39] [SONG] text      Match [05:39] Mofu     I ran the subject through a biological     motion app that analyzes movement, [05:44] Mofu     and I've determined he's the same      subject from your last demonstration. [05:49] Mofu     He's a plant in league with you, Torage-san! [05:53] Ron     So she did notice. [05:54] Toto     It was all staged? [05:56] Mofu     Here's the proof! [05:57] Ono     We can't see through the cracks! [05:59] Mofu     I mean, they always get run over by     dump trucks when you drop them, you know? [06:03] Ono     I can't say I would... [06:06] Torage     Kindly refrain from false accusations. [06:09] Torage     If this next word reaches his brain,     will you believe he wasn't planted? [06:15] Mofu     What? [06:18] Ono     The word he's written now      can only mean one thing! [06:23] Torage     What do you think, Usaki-sensei?     If the subject dies, will you believe me? [06:28] Mofu     There's no way this will take his life. [06:30] Mofu     Take that as my answer. [06:32] Torage     Oh dear. Well then... [06:54] Torage     He's dead. [06:57] staff A     Th-This is bad! [06:58] staff B     Stop the broadcast! [06:59] staff C     I've called an ambulance! [07:01] staff D     Cut to the screen we use for accidents! SIGN    We'll be right back [07:07] Toto     It can't be... [07:10] Ron     This is a live broadcast. We've got     no time to laze around here. [07:13] Toto     Yeah. [07:21] forensics     Oh, Isshiki-san. [07:23] forensics     We've just confirmed the death     and secured the scene. [07:27] Toto     Good work. [07:28] forensics     Who's that with you? [07:29] Toto     Huh? [07:30] Ron     I'm Asasuki Kamoji. SIGN    Torage [07:32] Ron     I'm a bandwagon Torage fan! [07:34] Toto     You're the worst person to let in here! [07:37] Toto     He's a specialist helping out     with the investigation! [07:40] Ron     Excuse me. [07:42] Ron     Don't worry. I will avenge you. [07:46] Torage     Who's he? [07:47] Ron     Oh, Torage-kun! I saw you on TV! [07:50] Torage     And you are? [07:51] Ron     I'm a bandwagon fan! [07:53] Toto     Nix the "bandwagon" bit! And get up! [07:56] Torage     What's a fan doing here? [07:58] Toto     I'm so sorry. [07:59] Ron     I wanted to ask you something, Torage-kun. [08:02] Toto     D-Don't say anything rude. [08:04] Ron     How'd you kill him? [08:06] Toto     That's majorly rude! [08:08] Ron     But you gotta ask, right? [08:09] Toto     No, you don't! [08:11] Torage     You're amusing. [08:12] Torage     I killed him with my psychic powers. [08:17] Torage     But under modern science and the law,     I cannot be held accountable. [08:22] Toto     You admit that you killed him? [08:24] Toto     Except I can't arrest a guy     for a psychically-induced death. [08:28] Ron     I knew it! You really are the best! [08:32] Ron     Can I have your autograph? [08:33] Toto     That's my notebook! [08:35] Torage     On that tiny paper? [08:37] Ron     Well, this is all so sudden. [08:39] Ron     Do you have a pen? The one you     used on those cards would be fine. [08:43] Torage     What? [08:45] Torage     Once I've signed this, begone. [08:51] Ron     It's so thick I can't read it. [08:52] Toto     He's pissed at you! [08:54] Torage     If that neurosurgeon had     only believed in psychic powers, [08:58] Torage     this demonstration would have      been unnecessary. [09:01] Torage     If anyone's to be punished, [09:02] Torage     it should be her, don't you think? [09:06] Toto     No way... SIGN    We'll be right back [09:18] Shikata     I'm Shikata, Usaki-sensei's      assistant at the hospital. [09:22] Shikata     The doctor's beside herself right now. [09:25] Toto     I don't think what happened here      was her fault. [09:28] Mofu     No... [09:30] Mofu     I'm a practitioner of medicine. [09:32] Mofu     I have to take responsibility for allowing     someone to die right in front of me! [09:38] Ron     Mofu-sensei, has this incident     made you believe in psychic powers? [09:43] Mofu     I don't know. [09:45] Mofu     I examined the body and     the cause of death was poison. [09:49] Toto     Poison? [09:50] Mofu     I observed flaccid paralysis,     and given the presentation of cyanosis, [09:55] Mofu     I believe it was a neurotoxin. [09:58] Mofu     Blowfish poison or snake venom, or... [10:01] Mofu     He went into cardiac arrest     before the ambulance arrived, [10:04] Mofu     so it may have been     the potent botulinum toxin. [10:07] Ron     My thoughts precisely. [10:09] Ron     I'd expect no less of you, Mofu-sensei. [10:11] Ron     I figured that speck     on the back of the victim's neck [10:14] Ron     might be a mark left by a poisoned needle. [10:17] Ron     What do you think? [10:18] Mofu     I thought exactly the same thing! [10:20] Ron     Great minds, huh? [10:21] Mofu     Are you a medical doctor? [10:23] Ron     I'm a Torage fan. [10:25] Toto     You don't have to be that stupidly honest! [10:28] Toto     If there's a mark from a poisoned needle, [10:30] Toto     does that mean Torage used     a blowgun or something to stab him? [10:33] Mofu     I'm afraid not. [10:35] Mofu     He didn't do anything that seemed suspicious. [10:38] Mofu     And from where he was standing,      he couldn't have hit the subject. [10:40] Mofu     Moreover, there wasn't     anyone behind the subject! [10:44] Mofu     No matter how I rack my brain,     I can't explain it! [10:47] Toto     You're right. It was a superhuman feat. [10:50] Toto     The only explanation is psychic powers. [10:52] Ron     Yay! Torage-san for the win! Fans rejoice! [10:55] Toto     You really are the worst, you know that? [10:59] Shikata     Mofu-sensei has a personal reason      she can't be bested here. [11:04] Shikata     It's why she came after     an all-night surgery and [11:07] Shikata     forced herself to participate      in today's show. [11:09] Ron     Then let's solve this case quickly     so she can get some sleep. [11:15] Ron     We'll figure out the trick and     see the fake psychic off the stage. [11:21] Toto     Ron... [11:22] Mofu     The trick? [11:24] Ron     It wasn't psychic power. [11:27] Shikata     But you said you were a fan of Torage's... [11:30] Ron     Just a bandwagon fan. [11:32] Ron     The only thing I'm a true      life-long fan of is the truth. [11:37] Ron     The pure, naïve Detective Isshiki     will expose the trick here. [11:44] Ron     Just after the subject saw the cue card, [11:47] Ron     he closed his eyes and     collapsed to the floor, right? [11:51] Ron     And after that, he didn't even twitch? [11:53] Mofu     No. [11:55] Mofu     When I was giving him CPR,     he came to for just a moment. [12:00] Mofu     He was in distress, [12:02] Mofu     then his breathing stopped again. [12:05] Toto     There's no way Torage stabbed [12:07] Toto     the subject in the neck     while the doctor was giving him CPR. [12:11] Toto     Forensics hasn't turned up      any poisoned needles, either. [12:15] Toto     It looks like this really was      caused psychically. [12:18] Ron     No. We've got all the pieces, Toto. [12:21] Toto     What? [12:22] Ron     The entirety of this trick... [12:24] Ron     is on TV. [12:26] Mofu     You've got hyperemia in your eyes.     Have some eye drops. [12:29] Ron     You're so kind. [12:31] Mofu     Take good care of yourself. [12:32] Ron     Thank you. SIGN    Studio 6 [12:37] Toto     Thank you for gathering here. [12:39] Toto     I will now solve the mystery of how     the subject died during the show. [12:45] Toto     And since the stage is still set,     let's try reenacting the incident. [12:50] staff A     You want to reenact it? [12:52] staff B     Can you really do that? [12:54] Toto     Usaki-sensei, could I ask you      to play the subject? [12:57] Mofu     Me? [12:59] Toto     I'll stand in for Torage-san. [13:01] Toto     To ensure this is accurate,     I asked the staff for the same cue cards. [13:06] Toto     Torage-san, could I borrow the pen you used? [13:09] Torage     There's no need to go that far. [13:11] Torage     Why should I go along with this farce? [13:14] Mofu     Someone lost their life here! [13:16] Mofu     Please just lend us the pen! [13:24] Mofu     I'm so sorry! [13:25] Toto     Full-throttle clumsiness on display! [13:30] Mofu     Torage-san, we'll be borrowing this! [13:32] Torage     Tch. [13:36] Toto     Usaki-sensei will put on     the noise-canceling headphones [13:40] Toto     and act out what's written here. [13:42] Toto     Basically, she'll do as the plant would. [13:44] Torage     Hey! Calling him a plant is unfair! [13:47] Torage     What idiot would die for a staged trick?! [13:49] Toto     P-Please, calm down!     That's what we're testing right now. [13:56] Toto     Now then... [13:58] Toto     Please start with this word. [14:02] Toto     Very good. [14:04] Toto     Now, on to the next word. [14:07] Toto     Wonderful! [14:08] Toto     She's following along perfectly. [14:10] Ono     Well, of course she is.     You're telling her what to do. [14:13] staff C     This is stupid. Is that detective okay? [14:18] Toto     Now, at last, the word in question. [14:21] Toto     I'll have Usaki-sensei stand     right where the subject was. [14:26] Toto     I'll show her this the same way, too. [14:35] Shikata     Mofu-sensei! [14:37] Toto     Please, stay calm! [14:39] Toto     Usaki-sensei is not dead. [14:42] Shikata     Then what did you do? [14:44] staff C     Is there some trick to the cue card? [14:46] Toto     No, it's just regular, extra-thick paper. [14:48] Toto     But at the time of the incident,     Torage-san set the card on the podium. [14:52] Toto     He then turned it upside down     and showed it to the subject. [14:56] Shikata     He turned it upside down? [15:05] Toto     Like this. [15:08] Ono     "Sleep"?! [15:10] staff C     It says sleep! [15:11] Shikata     Turned upside down, "death" becomes "sleep"?! [15:14] Mofu     Which means that when he collapsed,     the subject was still conscious? [15:18] Toto     That's right. [15:20] Toto     The subject was pretending to be asleep. [15:23] Toto     The headphones prevented him      from hearing the commotion, [15:26] Toto     so he kept up the act even as     Torage-san took his pulse. [15:30] Toto     So, when was the subject killed? [15:34] Toto     After the broadcast was suspended, [15:36] Toto     while standing among the crowd [15:38] Toto     and amid all the chaos,     Torage-san injected him with poison! [15:44] Mofu     That means he showed signs      of distress during CPR [15:47] Mofu     because the injected poison     took time to circulate. [15:51] Toto     No psychic abilities were used. [15:53] Toto     Isn't that right, Torage-san? [15:59] Torage     These accusations are completely unfounded! [16:01] Torage     First and foremost, you haven't     found a poisoned needle! [16:04] Toto     No, we retrieved it. [16:06] Torage     Wha—?! [16:11] Toto     When you were asked to sign my notebook, [16:14] Toto     why did you choose such a thick, unwieldy pen? [16:17] Toto     Because the poisoned needle was     hidden inside the tip of your thinner pen! [16:22] Shikata     That's where he concealed it? [16:25] Torage     You're wrong! This death     was the result of psychic powers! [16:28] Torage     If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you! [16:34] Torage     Torage Psychic! [16:43] Torage     I'm lying. I give up. [16:51] Torage     He was just a plant,     but he started threatening me! [16:55] Torage     He said he'd out my tricks [16:57] Torage     if I didn't fork over     90 percent of my earnings. [17:00] Torage     Killing him was my only choice! [17:03] Ron     Stab yourself. [17:06] Ron     Anyone who dismisses the lives of others... [17:09] Ron     has no right to live in this world. [17:12] Toto     This is bad! [17:13] Ron     Stab yourself. [17:18] Torage     Stab... myself... [17:27] Toto     Stop! [17:45] Mofu     The poisoned needle! [17:50] Ron     Toto! [17:52] Mofu     Let me take a look! [17:54] Toto     It's too late! [17:56] Toto     The mark of the poisoned needle... [17:58] Torage     Mark of the poisoned needle? [17:59] Torage     I swapped the pen tip with the needle. [18:02] Torage     There's no way it'd leave an ink mark. [18:04] Toto     What? [18:05] Toto     Then this pen is... [18:15] Toto     Here it is!     This one's the poisoned needle pen! [18:27] Toto     Honestly, Ron. I seriously     thought I was a dead man. [18:34] Ron     I'm sorry. I regret what I've done. [18:36] Toto     You say that now, but later, I know you'll      ask me for the next case like always. [18:42] Ron     It was a mistake for me     to start sleuthing again. [18:45] Toto     Huh? He's not talking back. [18:48] Ron     If that had gone any further,      there'd be no undoing what I wrought. [18:52] Ron     I have no right to be a detective. [19:00] Toto     He's really down on himself. [19:02] Toto     Like back when I first met him. [19:04] Toto     Not that I don't understand why. [19:07] Toto     Maybe it's time to give up     this dangerous approach. [19:11] Mofu     Oh, Isshiki-san! [19:15] Mofu     My bandages are caught on the handrail! [19:18] Toto     That takes skill! [19:20] Mofu     Thank you so much for what you did today. [19:23] Toto     Don't mention it. [19:25] Mofu     So many patients     are going to live because of you. [19:30] Mofu     A long time ago, I had a patient     who believed in psychic treatments, [19:33] Mofu     refused surgery,     and passed away because of it. [19:36] Toto     That's why you were trying so hard... [19:39] Mofu     Your brilliant deductions      will save lots of lives! [19:45] Toto     Yeah, you're right... [19:48] Toto     I feel reenergized! Thank you, Mofu-sensei! [19:51] Mofu     Not at all. [19:53] Toto     I'll be on my way. [19:57] Toto     Oh, and I'm sorry for giving you     a scare at the end there. [20:01] Toto     He's got a weird habit of     pressuring murderers into things. [20:06] Mofu     Pressuring them...? [20:08] Toto     Well, I'll see you later! [20:12] Mofu     That was more than just pressuring... [20:21] Toto     Ron! [20:25] Toto     You can't quit over something like that! [20:28] Ron     "Something like that"? [20:30] Ron     I nearly killed you. [20:34] Toto     It was just an accident. [20:36] Ron     If anything like it happened again     and you died... [20:41] Ron     I'd despair of myself and wouldn't     be able to carry on. [20:44] Toto     I swear, don't write me off      as a goner so readily. [20:48] Toto     Next time, I'll stop you. [20:50] Toto     So I want you to have some faith     in Kamonohashi Ron, too! [20:55] Toto     You love sleuthing above all else. [20:57] Toto     You've devoted your life     to being a detective. [20:59] Toto     Why did you shut yourself away     for five years? [21:02] Toto     It's because you care about people's lives! [21:05] Ron     Toto... [21:06] Toto     People's lives are at the core     of your guiding principles and all you do. [21:10] Toto     That's just the kind of guy you are. [21:13] Ron     But... [21:15] Toto     Oh, right. SIGN    Shooting Star Viewing [21:20] Ron     An invitation? [21:29] Ron     A gathering at an observatory on a remote     island to watch the Leonid meteor shower? [21:34] Ron     What is this? [21:35] Toto     It arrived this morning. [21:36] Toto     I don't know the sender very well, [21:39] Toto     but times like this call for a change of pace. [21:42] Toto     Until you can believe in yourself,     I'll stick with you! Okay? [21:48] Ron     You're right. [21:50] Ron     It might be good to get away from mysteries. SIGN    Shooting Star Viewing [21:58] Ron     And this remote island... [22:00] Ron     Nandan Island is famous     for its black sugar syrup! [22:03] Toto     That's what really matters to you?! [22:06] Ron     Today, at least, it would be nice     to have some sweet dreams.
