[00:07] Jumonji
    What did you say?
[00:08] Jumonji
    The police won't arrive
    until tomorrow morning or later?
[00:15] Toto
    There really is only one way in or out.
[00:18] Toto
    I thought maybe there'd be something
    like a hidden door behind the lights,
[00:22] Toto
    but I guess that was too much to hope for.
[00:26] Toto
    A bullet hole!
[00:28] Toto
    There's one in this light, too!
[00:31] Toto
    The room lights have all
    been shot out with a gun.
[00:34] Toto
    All of them have been hit dead center.
[00:37] Toto
    This isn't something that Ron could've done!
[00:39] Toto
    The culprit was in the dome here,
    shooting bullet after bullet...
[00:44] Toto
    Huh? But we only heard the one gunshot.
[00:49] Toto
    Whatever the case, I have to make sure
    the local police investigate thoroughly.
[01:02] Toto
    Now, then...
[01:04] Toto
    Excuse me.
[01:08] Toto
    It's no good! I can't do it like Ron does!
[01:12] Toto
    If only there were security cameras in here.
[01:16] (Flashback) Jumonji
    It automatically tracks
    the position and records...
[01:19] Toto
    That's it.
[01:21] Toto
    There's one thing that was
    recording during the crime.
[01:24] Toto
    And I've found it!
[01:25] Toto
    Maybe it's recorded an important clue!
[01:30] Toto
    I just know I'll be able to
    prove Ron's innocence!
[01:42] Toto

[03:26] John
    Isshiki-kun? I mistook you for an intruder.
[03:29] Toto
    Grizzly-san?
[03:30] Toto
    Why do you have a ladder?
[03:32] John
    I came to inspect the inside of this dome,
    but it looks like you beat me to it.
[03:36] Toto
    Is there something more you need to look into?
[03:38] John
    I'm gathering evidence to incontrovertibly
    prove Kamonohashi Ron's guilt.
[03:43] John
    This time, he must be sentenced to death.
[03:47] Toto; internal
    We've got one heck of an enemy here.
[03:50] John
    I'm sure you've come for the opposite reason.
[03:54] Toto
    What?
[03:56] John
    I've already interviewed everyone.
    Would you like the results?
[03:58] Toto
    Huh? Yes.
[04:00] Toto; internal
    And he's ahead of me!
[04:03] John
    According to several people's testimonies,
    the last time Onodera-san was seen was 11 PM.
[04:08] (Flashback) Onodera
    I'm going back to my room to pick up
    some photography equipment.
[04:12] John
    That is what she is reported to have said.
[04:14] John
    Thinking back on it now, the weather
    was set to deteriorate during the night,
[04:18] John
    so it seems odd that she wouldn't
    have set up her equipment earlier.
[04:22] Toto
    That's true.
[04:23] John
    Given the state of the body,
[04:25] John
    it's clear that the shot heard at 1 AM
    is the one which killed her.
[04:29] John
    I've asked everyone for
    their alibis up to that time.
[04:33] John
    Jumonji-shi headed briefly
    to his office at 11:30 PM,
[04:37] John
    but he had returned to the roof by midnight.
[04:40] (Flashback) Jumonji
    I'd forgotten my stargazing notebook.
[04:43] John
    Donzawa-shi was on the roof the whole time,
    besides one trip to the restroom at midnight.
[04:48] John
    When the gunshot was heard at 1 AM,
[04:50] John
    both he and Jumonji-shi were
    on the roof. I saw them, too.
[04:55] (Flashback) Donzawa
    Going to the restroom is a
    biological imperative, is it not?
[04:58] John
    Unno-san was in the kitchen
    from 11 PM to 1 AM.
[05:03] John
    When the gunshot was heard,
    she was talking with Orihime-san,
[05:07] John
    who had gone to fetch drinks.
[05:09] (Flashback) Unno
    I was simmering stew the whole time.
[05:13] John
    Orihime-san started livestreaming
    from within the observatory at midnight.
[05:18] John
    When the stream ended at around 12:40 AM,
    she went to the kitchen.
[05:21] John
    At 1 AM, she and Unno-san were together when
    they noticed the commotion over the gunshot.
[05:26] (Flashback) Orihime
    We heard everyone screaming, so we
    thought something must have happened.
[05:30] John
    You were on the roof with me
    the whole time, weren't you?
[05:33] Toto
    Yes.
[05:34] John
    However, Kamonohashi Ron returned
    to his room to sleep at 10:30 PM,
[05:39] John
    and was not seen after that.
[05:43] John
    Which means, at the moment
    the gunshot was heard,
[05:46] John
    everyone but Kamonohashi Ron has an alibi.
[05:56] Toto
    Even so, I believe in Ron.
[05:59] Toto
    The real culprit must be someone else!
[06:03] John
    Why have you never once suspected
    that Kamonohashi Ron could be the culprit?
[06:08] Toto
    Because he isn't the kind of guy
    who would do this!
[06:11] John
    That isn't logical.
[06:13] Toto
    I'm not the logical one. That's Ron's field!
[06:18] John
    The way you speak of Kamonohashi Ron
    from such a close perspective...
[06:23] John
    I've never seen it before.
[06:25] John
    Who exactly are you to him?
[06:28] Toto
    He's...
[06:31] Toto
    Ron is... my friend.
[06:36] John
    It seems he's changed a lot.
[06:38] John
    Not just on the outside,
    but on the inside, too.
[06:41] Toto
    What?
[06:42] John
    In the past, Kamonohashi Ron
    showed no weakness,
[06:45] John
    and no one could get close to him.
[06:47] John
    A friend who would trust him against all logic
[06:50] John
    is one thing I thought he'd never have.
[06:53] Toto
    I see.
[06:54] Toto; internal
    That's what Ron was like?
[06:57] John
    That aside, have you discovered anything?
[07:01] Toto
    Huh? Oh. Yes!
[07:03] Toto
    All the lights in this room
    have been shot out and destroyed.
[07:06] Toto
    I found bullet holes in the walls
    where they were installed.
[07:10] Toto
    And I was looking to see if the telescope
    had recorded anything of the incident.
[07:15] John
    The telescope wouldn't record
    what was going on inside the dome.
[07:18] John
    Was there anything in the footage?
[07:20] Toto
    Well, it turned on at 11 PM,
    but it was completely black until 1 AM.
[07:26] Toto
    And from 1 AM, the only thing
    recorded is the North Star.
[07:29] Toto
    That corresponds with the time of the dome
    opening and the gunshot being heard.
[07:34] Toto
    It doesn't look like it's recorded
    anything relevant to the crime.
[07:38] John
    The room lights were destroyed using a gun,
[07:40] John
    and from 11 PM to 1 AM,
    the dome was completely dark...
[07:46] John
    Of course! So that was it!
[07:48] John
    How could I have been so careless?
[07:51] Toto
    Grizzly-san?
[07:54] John
    Give this to Kamonohashi-kun!
[07:56] John
    And tell him everything you told me just now!
[07:59] Toto
    This is... the key to Ron's handcuffs?
[08:02] Toto
    That means...
[08:03] John
    Kamonohashi-kun isn't the culprit!
[08:06] Toto
    R-Really?
[08:08] John
    There's no time to celebrate.
[08:09] John
    We must catch the true culprit
    as quickly as possible!
[08:12] Toto
    Huh? Right! Yes, sir!
[08:13] John
    Keep your guard up. No help is coming.
[08:16] John
    The police are currently
    delayed by the typhoon.
[08:18] John
    Which means this island has become
    a closed circle situation.
[08:22] Toto
    What?
[08:23] John
    If this is connected to the
    incident from ten years ago,
[08:27] John
    then we can't eliminate the possibility
    that further killings will happen.
[08:33] Ron
    You've done very well, Toto.
[08:34] Ron
    Thanks to you, my innocence has been proven.
[08:38] Toto
    But how? Explain it to me.
[08:41] Ron
    Oh, sure.
[08:43] Ron
    But do you mind if I mix in some singing?
[08:45] Ron
    Kamo, kamo, kamo...
[08:45] Toto
    I'd prefer it unmixed!
[08:47] Ron
    Very well.
[08:48] Toto
    Lift the corners of your mouth!
[08:52] Ron
    First, the telescope recording showed that
    the dome was dark from 11 PM to 1 AM, right?
[09:01] Ron
    Accurately shooting multiple lights
    in a darkened dome is impossible.
SIGN    Pitch black
SIGN    Shooting impossible
[09:08] Ron
    Which means that the lights must have been
    shot either before 11 PM, or after 1 AM.
[09:14] Ron
    There are seven lights, but at 1 AM
    only one shot was heard,
[09:18] Ron
    so it must have happened before 11 PM.
[09:21] Ron
    Which means that there were already shards
    from the lights on the dome floor at 11 PM.
[09:28] Ron
    Now, I was found bare-footed.
[09:31] Ron
    If I had walked in there like that,
    in the darkness, unable to see anything,
[09:34] Ron
    the soles of my feet would be...
[09:37] Toto
    Covered in blood and cuts from those shards!
[09:40] Ron
    But they were completely unscathed.
[09:42] Ron
    Which means that after 11 PM,
    when the lights went out,
[09:44] Ron
    I couldn't have taken even a
    single step from where I was.
[09:47] Ron
    Now, it's easy to assume that Onodera-kun
    was killed by the shot heard at 1 AM,
[09:54] Ron
    but between myself and her
    stood a huge telescope
[09:58] Ron
    large enough to hide us from each other.
[10:00] Ron
    How could I have shot her from
    the far side of that telescope
[10:04] Ron
    when I couldn't move one step
    at the time of the crime?
[10:07] Toto
    I get it! From that position,
    you couldn't have shot her!
[10:11] Ron
    Thank you again, Toto.
[10:13] Ron
    Thanks to your stunning investigation,
    my brain is now working at two percent!
[10:19] Toto
    Still only two percent?!
[10:21] Ron
    Now, then...
[10:23] Ron
    Here comes the fun part!
[10:24] Toto
    Um, what part?
[10:26] Ron
    The severe sleepiness that came
    over me after dinner...
[10:29] Ron
    That was due to sleeping medication
    in my black sugar syrup meal.
[10:32] Toto
    Then the culprit is the chef, Unno-san?
[10:35] Ron
    No. There was ample opportunity
    for any of them to drug my meal.
[10:39] Toto
    Then who did it?
[10:41] Ron
    Let's set that aside for the moment.
    My fun comes first.
[10:44] Toto
    What's this "fun" you keep talking about?
[10:47] Ron
    I'm going to go drink some
    sleeping-medicine-less syrup!
[10:50] Toto
    Are those sparkles where your eyes are?
[10:52] Ron
    Black sugar syrup, syrup!
[10:54] Toto
    Don't you have more
    important things to be doing?
[10:56] Ron
    And I'll do them, of course!
[11:03] John; internal
    If Kamonohashi Ron isn't the culprit,
    then who did it? And how?
[11:11] John
    This is fishing line.
[11:23] Ron
    I'm so glad I bought ten kilos of syrup
    and set it aside just in case!
[11:26] Toto
    That's not an amount you buy "just in case"!
[11:29] Ron
    Thanks to this, my brain is back
    to one hundred percent.
[11:32] Toto
    Ninety-eight percent of your brain
    is powered by syrup?!
[11:35] Toto
    Syrup aside, we need
    to be catching the real killer!
[11:38] Ron
    That's why we've come back
    to my room, isn't it?
[11:41] Toto
    What?
[11:42] Ron
    While I was drugged, the culprit must
    have carried me from this room to the dome.
[11:46] Ron
    So I thought there might have been
    some evidence of that left here.
[11:50] Toto
    I see. And did you find anything?
[11:53] Ron
    No. Everything's been completely wiped clean.
[11:56] Ron
    But from the manner of their work,
    I'm beginning to see.
[12:00] Ron
    The culprit prepared
    very carefully for this murder.
[12:04] Ron
    It wasn't a haphazard crime of opportunity.
[12:07] Toto
    Then you mean you were targeted
    from the very beginning?
[12:10] Ron
    It's certainly possible.
[12:12] Ron
    Did Grizzly-sensei say anything else?
[12:15] Toto
    Anything else?
[12:17] Toto
    Oh, he said he wanted to give you
    a proper apology later.
[12:20] Ron
    That's the kind of person he is.
[12:23] Ron
    You can see why I acknowledge him, can't you?
[12:25] Toto
    He's got a scary face,
    but he's a good person.
[12:28] Toto
    Oh, right. He said he wants to reinvestigate
    your Bloody Training Incident, Ron.
[12:34] Toto
    Hey!
[12:35] Ron
    That's something you should have told me
    while my brain was still frozen.
[12:38] Ron
    The excitement is too much for me right now!
[12:40] Toto
    Okay, I get it! Please stop that!
[12:42] Ron
    I wish I could stop!
[12:47] Toto
    Huh?
[12:54] Toto
    Ron...
[12:55] Ron
    Yes. I saw.
[13:01] Ron
    Hurry, Toto!
[13:14] John
    K-Kamonohashi Ron...
[13:19] John
    I-It's a trap...
[13:23] Ron
    Grizzly-sensei!
[13:25] Ron
    Sensei!
[13:36] Ron
    He's dead.
[13:39] Toto
    No way...
[13:50] Ron
    Grizzly-sensei...
[13:55] Toto; internal
    Ron...
[13:57] Ron
    An instructor from BLUE has been killed.
[14:00] Ron
    Do you understand what this means?
[14:02] Toto
    Huh?
[14:03] Ron
    BLUE is the world's
    foremost detective agency.
[14:07] Ron
    For their star
    closed circle theory instructor,
[14:09] Ron
    Grizzly-sensei, to meet such a fate...
[14:13] Ron
    Our adversary must be formidable indeed.
[14:17] Ron
    Excuse me.
[14:20] Ron
    Sensei, I promise I will avenge you.
[14:24] Toto
    Yes. That's right. That's right, Ron.
[14:27] Toto
    The two of us will catch the culprit!
[14:31] Ron
    I'm going to start my deductions now, Sensei.
[14:35] Ron
    He's only just passed away.
[14:36] Ron
    His clothes show no sign of a struggle,
    so he was shot from a distance,
[14:39] Ron
    or perhaps taken unawares,
    and fell immediately following that.
[14:50] Ron
    Fishing line.
[14:51] Toto
    Fishing line?
[14:52] Jumonji
    Isshiki-san!
[14:55] Donzawa
    We heard a gunshot!
[14:57] Donzawa
    Grizzly-san?
[14:59] Donzawa
    Don't tell me he's...
[15:00] Toto
    Yes. He has passed away.
[15:02] Jumonji
    B-But that's...
[15:05] Jumonji
    Kamonohashi-san?
[15:06] Donzawa
    But you're supposed to be
    handcuffed and locked up!
[15:08] Donzawa
    I see! He must have...
[15:10] Toto
    You have it wrong! And it wasn't Ron
    who shot Onodera-san either!
[15:14] Toto
    It will take a long time to explain, but...
[15:17] Ron
    Stand back, Toto.
[15:18] Ron
    I'll explain it in thirty seconds.
[15:20] Toto
    That quickly?
[15:24] Toto; internal
    He's just talking really fast?!
[15:30] Toto
    A gun, assumed to have been the same one used
    to shoot Onodera-san, was found on the roof.
[15:35] Toto
    The culprit seems to have taken it from
    Grizzly-san, who had taken custody of it.
[15:39] Unno
    This isn't funny! Another murder?
[15:42] Orihime
    Grizzly-san, too?
[15:44] Toto
    To get a clear picture of the situation,
    I'd like to go over everyone's alibis.
[15:49] Toto
    Jumonji-san was resting in his office.
[15:51] Toto
    When he heard the gunshot,
    he rushed out in a panic.
[15:55] Toto
    Donzawa-san was in the first-floor restroom
    when he heard the gunshot
[15:59] Toto
    and joined up with Jumonji-san in the lobby.
[16:02] Toto
    Unno-san was asleep with earplugs in.
[16:05] Toto
    Orihime-san was using earphones
    to check the sound on her livestream,
[16:09] Toto
    so she didn't notice.
[16:11] Toto
    Which means that no one has an alibi,
    and anyone could have killed Grizzly-san.
[16:17] Unno
    So someone here could be a heartless murderer.
[16:21] Orihime
    I'm scared!
[16:22] Unno
    You're a suspect, too!
[16:24] Donzawa
    To be cut off from the police
    in such a perilous situation...
[16:29] Donzawa
    The way things are going, the tragedy
    of ten years ago will repeat itself!
[16:35] Donzawa
    This island really is cursed!
[16:38] Donzawa
    All of us are going to be found as corpses!
[16:41] Ron
    That won't happen.
[16:44] Ron
    Despite how he appears,
    Detective Isshiki is enraged.
[16:48] Ron
    He loves mysteries more than anyone,
    and he's good at solving them.
[16:52] Ron
    But he fell into this trap, and two people
    have been killed right in front of him—
[16:56] Ron
    one of them a great sleuth
    worthy of his utmost respect.
[17:00] Ron
    The culprit is here, blending in
    with you in your fright.
[17:03] Ron
    Beneath their mask, twisted with false fear,
    they must be smiling with triumph.
[17:09] Ron
    But they'll regret that.
[17:13] Ron
    You have angered someone
    whom you never should have.
[17:22] Ron
    Let's reinvestigate, starting with
    the initial locked-room murder.
[17:25] Toto
    Yeah. We came here after hearing a gunshot.
[17:29] Toto
    But the doors were locked.
[17:31] Toto
    Then Grizzly-san, Jumonji-san,
    and I all slammed our bodies into it.
[17:35] Toto
    We broke the lock and went inside.
[17:43] Ron
    Toto, how do you think the culprit
    turned this dome into a locked room?
[17:47] Ron
    The only master key was in my pocket,
    and I was locked inside.
[17:52] Ron
    How could the culprit have locked the door?
[17:57] Toto
    Maybe using some kind of tool?
[18:00] Toto
    The fishing line!
[18:01] Ron
    How would they use it?
[18:03] Toto
    By running it down from the gap
    at the top of the door,
[18:06] Toto
    attaching it to the key,
    and turning it from outside!
[18:09] Ron
    Wrong!
[18:10] Toto
    Wrong?
[18:11] Toto
    Really? But I hardly ever
    get to make deductions.
[18:15] Ron
    You did your best, Toto.
[18:17] Ron
    But look closely at the door.
[18:19] Ron
    How would the fishing line fit through?
[18:21] Toto
    Huh?
[18:25] Toto
    There's adhesive on the side of the door!
[18:28] Toto
    With that there, not even the thinnest
    fishing line could get through.
[18:31] Toto
    With the lock and the glue,
    it's a doubly locked room!
[18:34] Toto
    But why would they glue it
    on top of locking it?
[18:38] Ron
    This is getting interesting.
[18:40] Ron
    Our adversary truly is formidable.
[18:43] Ron
    But if they weren't this resilient,
    then they wouldn't be worth defeating.
[18:47] Toto; internal
    He looks happy. This is the usual Ron.
[18:50] Toto; internal
    This is Kamonohashi Ron!
[18:52] Ron
    Don't just stand there. What happened
    after you broke down the door?
[18:56] Toto
    R-Right.
[18:58] Toto
    When the three of us entered
    the dome, it was pitch black.
[19:02] Toto
    Unno-san brought out flashlights
    almost immediately,
[19:04] Toto
    and when we used them to light the way,
    you and Onodera-san were...
[19:09] Ron
    Excuse me.
[19:10] Toto
    See? You're not listening!
[19:12] Ron
    Onodera-kun,
[19:14] Ron
    as I thought, in this location,
    you were blocked by the telescope.
[19:17] Ron
    You couldn't see me, could you?
[19:20] Ron
    The only thing in line of sight is the vent,
[19:22] Ron
    but no one could have entered
    or exited through there.
[19:25] Ron
    Toto, please turn out all the lights.
[19:27] Toto
    It'll be pitch black.
[19:29] Ron
    That's fine.
[19:30] Toto
    I'm turning them off!
[19:42] Toto; internal
    My eyes are adjusting.
[19:44] Toto; internal
    That's...
[19:46] Toto; internal
    the switch for the room lights, maybe?
[19:49] Toto; internal
    And that's... the switch to
    open and close the dome.
[19:54] Toto
    So Onodera-san collapsed in front
    of the switch to open the dome?
[20:01] Toto
    That's right! Right before we heard
    the shot, the dome opened.
[20:06] Toto
    Did Onodera-san hit the switch
    and then get shot right after?
[20:10] Toto
    But even if the dome was open, the culprit
    couldn't have escaped through the ceiling!
[20:14] Toto
    Plus, everyone had alibis for that time!
[20:18] Toto
    The dome was a perfect locked room!
    No one could have killed her in there!
[20:22] Toto
    Maybe this one is too tough
    even for you, Ron!
[20:27] Toto
    Ron? I'm turning the lights back on.
[20:29] Ron
    Wait!
[20:31] Ron
    That was the perfect difficulty level for me.
[20:34] Toto
    A pitch-black hula hooping challenge?!
[20:36] Toto
    So even you've thrown in the towel on this
    and have nothing left to do but spin a ring?
[20:42] Ron
    What are you talking about, Toto?
    Look more closely.
[20:46] Ron
    As I was setting up my hula hoop,
    the fishing line got caught on it.
[20:51] Toto
    That's an important clue!
    Don't spin it along with your hoop!
[20:53] Ron
    Haven't you realized yet, Toto?
    This is the key to solving the mystery.
[20:57] Toto
    What?
[20:58] Ron
    I've solved the mystery of the locked room.
[21:01] Toto
    What?
[21:02] Ron
    All that's left is to find the culprit.
[21:04] Toto
    The culpr—
[21:08] Orihime
    So you were in here after all,
    Detective Isshiki!
[21:11] Toto
    Orihime-san.
[21:12] Orihime
    I got worried that the typhoon
    might cause a power outage.
[21:16] Orihime
    So I thought I'd ask and see if there
    were any flashlights you weren't using.
[21:20] Toto
    Wouldn't Unno-san know?
[21:22] Orihime
    Yes, I asked Unno-san just now, star,
[21:27] Orihime
    but she seems very sensitive at the moment.
[21:29] (Flashback) Unno
    Everyone's making me take
    flashlights all over the place!
[21:32] (Flashback) Unno
    This is the third time now!
    Find one yourself!
[21:35] Toto
    I see. I can picture her being angry.
[21:39] Ron
    Flashlights?
[21:42] Ron
    It's no wonder you're the idol
    of the Orion constellation.
[21:46] Ron
    It represents a great hunter
    in Greek mythology.
[21:48] Ron
    And just like Orion,
[21:50] Ron
    you've hunted down this mystery for us.
[21:53] Orihime
    Pardon?
[21:54] Toto
    You're not making sense, Ron.
[21:56] Ron
    We have all the pieces now,
    thanks to Orihime-kun.
[21:59] Toto
    Does that mean you know who did it?
[22:02] Ron
    Sorry to have kept you waiting,
    Detective Isshiki.
[22:05] Ron
    It's your turn now.
[22:07] Ron
    Let's launch our counterattack.
