[00:00] Toto
A single invitation was delivered to me.
SIGN Shooting Star Viewing
[00:04] Toto
Following it,
[00:06] Toto
Ron and I headed to a certain
observatory on a remote island.
SIGN At the Observatory: 7 People Die Tragically by Gunfire
[00:10] Toto
A horrific mass murder had
taken place there a decade prior.
[00:15] Toto
And this would mark the first Leonid
meteor shower viewing party since.
[00:19] Jumonji
It's a replica.
The gun wards off evil spirits.
[00:24] Unno
Oh, Director.
[00:25] Donzawa
What's all the commotion?
[00:27] Onodera
I'm Onodera, a photographer
of celestial objects.
[00:29] Ron
Instructor John Grizzly.
[00:31] Orihime
I'm the idol of the constellation Orion...
[00:33] Orihime
Orihime, star!
[00:35] Toto
The viewing party was supposed to help
overcome the tragedy of the past,
[00:40] Toto
but contrary to the director's hopes,
more killing began to unfold.
[00:45] Toto
The first victim was Onodera-shi,
[00:47] Toto
a woman specializing
in celestial photography.
[00:50] Toto
She was shot dead in the dome,
which was locked at the time.
[00:53] John
Who exactly are you to him?
[00:56] Toto
He's...
[00:58] Toto
Ron is... my friend.
[01:02] John
A friend who would trust him against all logic
[01:04] John
is one thing I thought he'd never have.
[01:08] Toto
The second victim was security
personnel the director had invited.
[01:12] Toto
It was John Grizzly-shi, an instructor
at the prestigious BLUE academy.
[01:17] Toto
He was shot on the roof of the observatory
[01:19] Toto
and from there, fell to the ground below.

Who could the culprit be?
[01:27] Donzawa
This island really is cursed!
[01:29] Donzawa
All of us are going to be found as corpses!
[01:32] Ron
That won't happen.
[01:36] Ron
Despite how he appears,
Detective Isshiki is enraged.
[01:39] Ron
He loves mysteries more than anyone,
and he's good at solving them.
[01:43] Ron
But he fell into this trap, and two people
have been killed right in front of him—
[01:48] Ron
one of them a great sleuth
worthy of his utmost respect.
[01:51] Ron
The culprit is here, blending in
with you in your fright.
[01:55] Ron
Beneath their mask, twisted with false fear,
they must be smiling with triumph.
[02:00] Ron
But they'll regret that.
[02:04] Ron
You have angered someone
whom you never should have.

SIGN #09 The Case of the Observatory Murder (Part 3)
[03:44] Toto
Thank you for gathering on such short
notice in the middle of the night.
[03:48] Toto
I've called you here to arrest
the murderer as quickly as possible.
[03:53] Toto
I ask for your understanding
and cooperation.
[03:56] Unno
Did you say "arrest"?
[03:57] Donzawa
So you know who the culprit is?
[04:01] Toto
Yes.
[04:02] Toto
They're here in this room.
[04:07] Unno
No...
[04:08] Orihime
Then it really is...
[04:11] Jumonji
One of us?
[04:12] Donzawa
Can you explain everything?
[04:14] Toto
Yes, of course.
[04:16] Toto
I'll start with the incident
that just occurred.
[04:20] Toto
After Grizzly-san was shot on the roof,
[04:22] Toto
Ron and I immediately rushed
to the spot where he fell.
[04:26] Toto
Why? Because immediately
following the rooftop gunshot,
[04:29] Toto
we saw him fall past the window.
[04:34] Toto
In other words,
if we hadn't seen Grizzly-san fall,
[04:38] Toto
we naturally would've run up to the roof,
the source of the noise.
[04:42] Toto
But someone else ran outside
to Grizzly-san first, too.
[04:48] Toto
And they came without an umbrella,
[04:52] Toto
all to disguise the fact that they'd
gotten wet on the rooftop
[04:55] Toto
when shooting Grizzly-san.
[04:58] Toto
The culprit...
[05:04] Toto
is you, Jumonji-san.
[05:07] Unno
The director?!
[05:08] Jumonji
Oh, come on. I would never!
[05:10] Jumonji
This is such a shock,
I don't know what to do.
[05:13] Jumonji
You're jumping to conclusions, Isshiki-san.
[05:16] Jumonji
I was just so frightened that I mistakenly
thought the gunshot came from outside!
[05:23] Jumonji
Besides, how do you explain Onodera-san?
[05:27] Jumonji
I was with you when she was killed, remember?
[05:31] Toto
I've already solved that trick.
[05:35] Toto
Jumonji-san, during the viewing party,
you pretended to go back to your room.
[05:40] Toto
You then attacked Onodera-san,
who was alone,
[05:43] Toto
and put her to sleep with medication.
[05:45] Toto
After that, you carried her to the dome,
[05:48] Toto
where you'd already shot out the lights
[05:51] Toto
and laid Ron, who you'd also put
to sleep with the same medicine.
[05:56] Toto
That's likely when you put
the master key in Ron's pocket.
[06:00] Toto
Then, as the finishing touch,
you glued the doors shut
[06:05] Toto
and locked the two of them inside.
[06:08] Unno
Hang on! Then how did he lock the doors?
[06:11] Unno
We saw they were locked tight
when we had to break in here!
[06:15] Toto
Yes. That was the clever part of this trick.
[06:19] Toto
He gave Onodera-san a lighter dose than Ron.
[06:22] Toto
She woke up.
[06:24] Toto
First, she probably went for the light switch.
[06:30] Toto
But because the lights were broken,
they didn't turn on.
[06:34] Toto
What would Onodera-san do next?
[06:42] Toto
She would've noticed the doors beside
the light switch and tried to get out,
[06:46] Toto
but they were glued shut and wouldn't open.
[06:50] Toto
In that moment, she would've
assumed they were locked.
[06:52] Toto
She'd have turned the key,
[06:54] Toto
thinking she was unlocking them,
but doing the opposite.
[06:58] Unno
There's no way...
[07:00] Orihime
I mean, if I were in her shoes,
I would've done that.
[07:03] Donzawa
So you figured out the locked room trick!
But there was a murder here!
[07:08] Donzawa
How could someone have shot her
at that point, and who did it?!
[07:14] Toto
The perpetrator knew what
Onodera-san's next move would be
[07:17] Toto
and set up one more trick.
[07:20] Donzawa
Another one?
[07:21] Toto
This fishing line that
Grizzly-san left us is a clue.
[07:25] Donzawa
Fishing line?
[07:27] Toto
The culprit tied one end of the line
to the top of the telescope,
[07:31] Toto
and the other to the trigger of a gun
hidden and secured inside the air vent.
[07:38] Toto
Now, if the lights wouldn't turn on
and the doors wouldn't open,
[07:42] Toto
where would Onodera-san go next?
[07:46] Toto
There, in the darkness,
[07:48] Toto
only one thing was illuminated
other than the light switch...
[07:51] Toto
The switch to open the dome.
[07:53] Toto
With the ceiling open,
starlight would fill the room,
[07:56] Toto
and if she shouted, someone might hear.
[07:59] Toto
Hopeful, she flipped the switch.
[08:06] Toto
But what happened then?
[08:08] Toto
As the dome opened,
[08:09] Toto
the telescope moved to record the star
it had been preprogrammed to follow.
[08:14] Toto
It began to turn,
[08:16] Toto
pulling the attached fishing line taught...
[08:21] Toto
Until it triggered the gun.
[08:26] Toto
The bullet went right through Onodera-san!
[08:29] Orihime
Star!
[08:31] Toto
The line Grizzly-san was holding
[08:33] Toto
was a piece that had snapped
when the telescope rotated.
[08:38] Jumonji
B-But the gun was on the ground next
to Kamonohashi-san! It wasn't in the vent!
[08:43] Toto
The gun found next to Ron
was the model from the lobby.
[08:48] Toto
As for the real gun, while we rushed over
to the body and were all distracted,
[08:52] Toto
you retrieved it from the vent.
[08:55] Toto
Then you used it to kill Grizzly-san, too.
[09:05] Jumonji
Just wait.
[09:07] Jumonji
For the sake of argument, let's say
that's how the murder was committed.
[09:11] Jumonji
But why would I kill anyone?
[09:13] Jumonji
Where's the proof that it was me?!
[09:16] Toto
I'm the one asking the questions here.
[09:19] Toto
Before you helped break down the door,
[09:21] Toto
before we'd even been in the dome,
you asked Unno-san to get flashlights.
[09:27] Toto
How did you know that
the lights inside wouldn't work?
[09:30] Toto
They were broken!
[09:31] Toto
And only the person who'd
set this up would've known!
[09:38] Jumonji
Tch.
[09:40] Jumonji
Dear, oh dear.
[09:42] Jumonji
If you've seen through all of that,
[09:44] Jumonji
then I've lost this gamble.
[09:52] Jumonji
But I don't regret what I've done.
[09:54] Jumonji
Onodera died because she deserved it!
[09:57] Toto
What did Onodera-san do?
[09:59] Jumonji
That woman kept sniffing around the murders
that happened here ten years ago!
[10:05] Toto
What?
[10:06] Jumonji
The celestial photography
stuff was just a cover.
[10:09] Jumonji
She was really a journalist
specializing in unsolved cases.
[10:12] Jumonji
The only reason she approached me
[10:14] Jumonji
was to look into what happened ten years ago.
I realized that immediately.
[10:19] Jumonji
And at the viewing party,
[10:20] Jumonji
she slipped out so she could
rummage through my room!
[10:24] Ron
So the reason Onodera-kun had to die
[10:27] Ron
is because you have something to hide.
[10:31] Ron
Maybe it's that gun...
[10:34] Jumonji
That's right.
[10:36] Jumonji
It was the same gun used a decade ago.
[10:39] Jumonji
I've kept it hidden all this time!
[10:43] Jumonji
On that day, my dad,
the director at the time,
[10:46] Jumonji
used it to kill all the guests and staff,
then himself!
[10:52] Jumonji
I was the first on the scene,
and when I realized what had happened,
[10:56] Jumonji
I knew that his crime...
[10:58] Jumonji
no, the shame he'd wrought had to be concealed!
[11:01] Unno
How could you?
[11:03] Donzawa
So that's the truth.
[11:05] Jumonji
I only wanted to live
the rest of my life in peace!
[11:09] Jumonji
But that stupid woman
wanted to dig it all up!
[11:13] Jumonji
And Grizzly was the same kind of stupid!
[11:16] Jumonji
If he'd just thought Kamonohashi did it,
everything would have been fine!
[11:20] Jumonji
If he hadn't stuck his nose where
it didn't belong and ruined my peace,
[11:23] Jumonji
I'd have even paid him a hefty reward!
[11:25] Toto
What are you saying?
[11:28] Ron
Shoot yourself.
[11:33] Ron
Console the dead with your death.
[11:37] Toto
The gun's gone!
[11:49] Toto
No! Stop it, Ron!
[11:55] Ron
What did I do?
[12:00] Jumonji
I won't let you kill me, Kamonohashi-san.
[12:04] Jumonji
I'll handle my loose ends myself.
[12:08] Toto
Wait, what is that?
[12:09] Ron
Oh no!
[12:14] Ron
Spit it back up!
[12:16] Jumonji
It's too late!
[12:19] Ron
Hey! There are still things
I want to ask you!
[12:21] Ron
Why did you choose me?
[12:23] Ron
Is there a reason it was me
and not someone else?
[12:27] Ron
Was my coming here all part of your plan?
[12:30] Jumonji
O-Of course it was.
[12:34] Jumonji
No matter how much you struggle...
you're still dancing in that person's palm.
[12:39] Ron
What does that mean?
Who are you talking about?
[12:45] Jumonji
Night turns to dawn...
[12:48] Ron
Don't die, Jumonji!
[12:50] Ron
Answer me! I still have questions!
[12:53] Ron
Hey, Jumonji!
[12:54] Toto
R-Ron...
[13:06] Toto
His pupils are dilated.
[13:08] Toto
It's done. I'm sorry to say it, but he's dead.
[13:12] Toto
This almond smell...
Was it potassium cyanide?
[13:28] Toto
Okay. We'll be waiting.
[13:32] Toto
The local police say they're on their way.
[13:35] Unno
What took them so long?
[13:37] Orihime
That's a relief, star!
[13:39] Donzawa
These tears show no sign of stopping.
[13:47] Ron
So, it was all part of the plan
from the very beginning?
[13:51] Ron
You used my love of black sugar syrup
[13:53] Ron
and invited me to the
viewing party through Toto.
[13:56] Ron
You set it up to look like I'd committed
murder in front of a BLUE instructor
[14:01] Ron
and trapped me.
[14:03] Ron
To manage all of that...
Who were you really?
[14:06] Ron
If you did it all at someone else's
behest, then who?
[14:19] Ron
An observatory director's last words
were "night turns to dawn"...
[14:23] Ron
That was quite tastefully done.
[14:30] Ron
Look. Dawn is here.
[14:51] Toto
Ron!
[14:52] Toto
The local police are here.
[14:55] Ron
I see.
[15:13] forensics
Excuse me...
[15:23] Toto
That wraps up the questions,
Orihime-san. Thank you.
[15:26] Orihime
Isshiki-san!
[15:27] Toto
Yes?
[15:28] Orihime
When you're working,
you're a sparkling first-magnitude star!
[15:32] Toto
Huh? First magnitude?
[15:36] Orihime
Comet Dash!
[15:38] Orihime
S-S-S-Star!
[15:43] Toto
They retrieved the bodies
and the police boat has departed.
[15:47] Toto
We can leave whenever we're ready.
[15:51] Ron
I have regrets. To think we'd be sending
Instructor Grizzly back in a bag...
[15:56] Toto
Yeah...
[15:57] Ron
He was a man who might've understood me.
[16:02] Ron
Toto.
[16:04] Ron
Do you remember?
[16:05] Ron
Before we came to this island,
I said I was done sleuthing.
[16:10] Ron
I'm taking that back.
[16:12] Ron
The fact that this incident
so closely resembled my past
[16:16] Ron
was no coincidence.
[16:18] Toto
Your past? You mean
the Bloody Training Incident?
[16:21] Ron
Yes.
[16:23] Ron
Just like in that murder case five years ago,
[16:26] Ron
I woke at the scene of the crime
with no memory of it
[16:30] Ron
and was made the prime suspect.
[16:33] Toto
That's true...
[16:35] Ron
I found another point of similarity
[16:37] Ron
at the scene of Onodera-kun's murder,
bathed in morning light...
[16:45] Toto
This mark!
[16:47] Toto
It's the same as the scar on your neck, Ron!
[16:50] Ron
It was dark the whole time.
[16:51] Ron
I didn't notice it at first
on the black carpet,
[16:54] Ron
but it was drawn there in red ink
before she was killed.
[16:58] Toto
Wh-What are you saying?
[17:01] Ron
I should have realized it sooner.
[17:04] Ron
If you look at my history objectively,
[17:07] Ron
the Bloody Training Incident
was totally different.
[17:11] Ron
The perpetrators died
and suspicion was cast on me.
[17:14] Ron
Nothing like it ever happened before
and hasn't again since.
[17:18] Ron
I only started pressuring culprits
to death after that incident.
[17:23] Ron
And most important of all,
that's how I got this scar.
[17:29] Ron
In other words, I was framed
for the Bloody Training Incident!
[17:32] Toto
Framed? By who?
[17:36] Toto
Jumonji said something about someone...
[17:39] Ron
I'd devoted my life to deduction,
[17:41] Ron
and that someone stole five years
of sleuthing from me!
[17:45] Ron
Whoever it is grew tired of waiting
for me to realize it in my grief,
[17:49] Ron
so they very kindly cooked up a murder
recreating elements from five years ago
[17:53] Ron
and invited me to it.
[17:55] Ron
It's like they're declaring that they
possess brains far superior to mine...
[18:00] Ron
Like they're laughing because they're holding
my life as a detective in their hands!
[18:04] Ron
They're playing games!
This is the greatest humiliation of my life!
[18:11] Ron
I will never forgive them.
[18:22] Old Officer
It wound up just me
and the dead on this boat.
[18:33] Jumonji
I barely managed to escape death.
[18:35] Jumonji
All thanks to you
and that fool of a detective.
[18:38] Jumonji
Still, I never dreamed you
could fake a suicide this way.
[18:43] Jumonji
With this, no one doubted I was dead.
[18:47] Old Officer
You're quite the actor.
On behalf of the family, I applaud you.
[18:53] Jumonji
I don't deserve such praise!
[18:56] Jumonji
I accomplished the murder unscathed.
Now I can begin my new life
[19:00] Jumonji
because you all reached out to me
when Onodera was pestering me.
[19:06] Jumonji
Even now, it feels like a dream.
[19:08] Jumonji
The legendary House of M, the pinnacle
of the criminal underworld, really exists!
[19:12] Jumonji
And before me stands one if its members!
[19:15] Jumonji
It's said that all crime
passes through the House of M,
[19:18] Jumonji
and that what they commit personally
[19:20] Jumonji
is guaranteed to go unsolved!
[19:22] Jumonji
They are the greatest family
in the history of crime!
[19:24] Old Officer
Seems we're better-known that we thought.
[19:28] Old Officer
By the by, how was Kamonohashi Ron?
[19:31] Jumonji
I was meticulous in my observation!
[19:33] Jumonji
When he figured out that I was the culprit,
he suddenly changed, just like you said!
[19:38] Jumonji
There was genuine murder in his eyes!
[19:41] Jumonji
If I hadn't faked my death,
I know he would have killed—
[19:48] Old Officer
Hearing that is enough for me.
[20:03] Winter
Brother, it's finished.
[20:10] Milo
I see.
[20:12] Winter
He said that Kamonohashi Ron
tried to kill the culprit.
[20:17] Winter
I saw Kamonohashi Ron for the first time.
[20:21] Milo
What did you think?
[20:23] Winter
He's not like anyone in our family.
[20:25] Winter
I don't care that he's the sixth generation
of a detective who was our natural enemy.
[20:31] Milo
And the ninth generation
from a certain someone else.
[20:36] Milo
Well, did he get my message
from five years ago?
[20:40] Winter
When he saw the mark that matched his,
he turned pale.
[20:45] Winter
He clearly doesn't know what it means.
[20:49] Milo
One day, he'll come to appreciate
[20:50] Milo
the blood that flows in him from our side.
[20:56] Milo
The ultimate detective, Sherlock Holmes,
[20:59] Milo
and the master of crime, James Moriarty...
[21:02] Milo
That man possesses the blood of both.
[21:09] Toto
Ow!
[21:11] Ron
Sorry, Toto.
[21:12] Toto
Don't start hula hooping out of nowhere!
[21:14] Ron
For some reason, I don't want to go.
[21:15] Toto
Your depression lasted all of a second, huh?
[21:18] Ron
After more thought,
[21:19] Ron
I feel like having a mystery
attached to me is wonderful.
[21:23] Toto
Give it even more thought!
[21:29] Ron
Oh, right, Toto...
[21:30] Ron
I forgot to ask you the most important thing.
[21:34] Ron
Will you continue helping me?
[21:38] Toto
Huh?
[21:41] Toto
Well, without me around, you'd end up
a murderer before you know it. Right?
[21:47] Ron
That's some big talk.
[21:51] Ron
Oh, Chef Unno gave me the black
sugar syrup she won't be using.
[21:55] Ron
I've got three, so I'll give you one.
[21:58] Toto
It's your favorite.
Don't put yourself out. I'm fine.
[22:00] Ron
Then give it to Amamiya-kun.
[22:03] Toto
That looks like motor fuel!
[22:05] Toto
Maybe I should pick out
a souvenir for her instead...
