**[00:24] Unno**
Oh, Director.

What's all the commotion?

I'm Onodera, a photographer

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,*

**[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*

**[01:12] Toto**
* It was John Grizzly-shi, an instructor*

**[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.

**[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...
