**[00:14] Girl A**
* I heard they're only having*
* one person compete in the long jump.*
**[00:16] Girl B**
*What? Then it's gotta be Rena-senpai.*
**[00:17] Girl A**
*She's been practicing every morning lately.*
**[00:19] Girl C**
* No, it could be Yuki. Have you*
* seen her recent numbers?*
**[00:22] Girl A**
*But she's still a first-year.*
**[00:23] (Flashback) Students**
Let's go.
**[00:25] (Flashback) Advisor**
Gather round, track team!
**[00:31] (Flashback) Advisor**
We've chosen our lineup, so take a look.
**[00:34] (Flashback) Advisor**
This next meet will be the third-years' last.
**[00:37] (Flashback) Advisor**
Even if you're not competing, make sure
you cheer on the rest of the team.
**[00:40] (Flashback) Students**
Yes, ma'am.
**[00:50] (Flashback) Kanon**
What? Why? We're both
signed up for the relay.
**[00:54] (Flashback) Kanon**
Are we supposed to start
practicing our baton pass now?
***SIGN*** Running Long Jump
Year 2 Year 1 Mitsuya Yuki
**[00:57] Kanon**
But I'm not a team player.
**[01:00] Kanon**
Wait, are all the third-years signed up?
**[01:10] Kanon**
What's wrong, Rena?
**[01:14] (Flashback) Rena**
I can't accept it.
**[01:16] (Flashback) Kanon**
Didn't you talk to the teacher?
**[01:20] (Flashback) Rena**
She said I was disrupting the team's harmony.
**[01:23] (Flashback) Kanon**
Wow, that's awful.
**[01:25] (Flashback) Kanon**
All you're doing is focusing on your own
training since we have a meet coming up.
**[01:29] (Flashback) Rena**
She refused to listen
to anything I had to say.
**[01:34] (Flashback) Rena**
I have to do well.
**[01:37] (Flashback) Kanon**
You mean for college?
**[01:39] (Flashback) Kanon**
Exemptions from school fees can be huge.
**[01:44] (Flashback) Kanon**
Why don't you try talking to Yuki?
**[01:46] (Flashback) Rena**
Yuki's training hard, too.
I couldn't say that to her.
**[01:58] President**
I know. I know. Yes. Yes.
***SIGN*** Supernatural Love

**[02:02] Employee A**
Countless times. Yes.
**[02:03] President**
O-One moment, please! Yes.
**[02:06] President**
Hello? Yes. Yes. Yes.
**[02:09] Employee B**
I'm sorry. Seems like
we've got a poor signal.
**[02:11] President**
Oh, give me a break. Are you done?
**[02:12] Employee B**
Can you hear me? Huh? Hello? Hello?
**[02:13] President**
Okay, bye. Bye. Yes. Yes.
**[02:16] President**
I'm sorry. Yes. Yes. Thank you.
**[02:17] Employee B**
Do we have a poor signal?
**[02:21] Yamamoto**
Good afternoon, everyone.
**[02:24] Yamamoto**
Here you go. Here. Here.
**[02:27] Nikaido**
What is this?
**[02:29] Yamamoto**
I put together a concert set list.
**[02:31] Nikaido**
You can't expect us to sing
under these circumstances.
**[02:34] Nikaido**
Why aren't you stopping this?
**[02:35] Yamamoto**
Please. Tickets are selling like crazy.
**[02:40] Nikaido**
But...
**[02:45] Yamamoto**
Could you two leave us for a second?
**[02:56] Ichimura**
This can't be good.
**[02:59] Ichimura**
I finally learned the
choreography and song, too.
**[03:01] Ichimura**
They said we'd only be wearing masks
until Mitsuya-san came back, anyway.
**[03:07] Wadagaki**
I've been thinking, why don't we
start over at another agency?
**[03:13] Ichimura**
I don't want anything to do
with this stuff anymore.
**[03:16] Wadagaki**
I know. Let's talk downstairs.
**[03:20] Wadagaki**
Those girls we met the other day...
**[03:22] Nikaido**
I trusted you then.
**[03:27] Nikaido**
I knew it. That's why you
couldn't call the police.
**[03:34] Yamamoto**
Who else is there?
**[03:37] Nikaido**
How would I know?
**[03:39] Yamamoto**
You're the one who said it.
**[03:42] Nikaido**
What are you talking about?
**[03:45] Nikaido**
Maybe I said I wish they were dead,
but that was just a slip of the tongue.
**[03:53] Nikaido**
I really didn't do it!
**[03:54] Yamamoto**
I know that. You have no reason
to lie to me, Nikaido.
**[04:01] Nikaido**
Could you stop looking at me like that?
Like you know everything about me.
**[04:06] Nikaido**
Why did you show up then, anyway?
**[04:11] Yamamoto**
Mitsuya called me.
**[04:18] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Hello?
**[04:20] Mitsuya**
*Oh, hello.*
**[04:21] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Why are you calling so late?
**[04:23] Mitsuya**
*Nikaido-san asked me to come to the office.*
**[04:28] Mitsuya**
*I'm scared.*
**[04:31] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Nikaido did?
**[04:33] Mitsuya**
*Yeah. I hope I'm just overthinking it.*
**[04:37] Mitsuya**
*Could you come, too, Yamamoto-san?*
**[04:42] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Where are you now?
**[04:44] Mitsuya**
* I'm on my way there in a taxi.*
* I'll be there in about 20 minutes.*
**[04:50] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Fine. I'll be right there.
**[04:57] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Huh? Why are you sitting in the dark?
**[05:04] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Don't scare me like that, Nikaido.
**[05:08] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
What?
**[05:12] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
What is it? What's wrong?
**[05:18] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Huh? Mitsuya?
**[05:23] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
What is this?
**[05:26] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
What did you...
**[05:34] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Wait, wait, wait! How could you do this now?!
**[05:38] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
We're screwed if people find out about this.
**[05:41] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Let me think for a second.
**[05:49] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Okay, we're good. We're all good.
**[05:54] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
I know someone who will do anything
for the right price. No, wait...
**[05:59] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Did anyone see you come here?
Did you take the train?
**[06:03] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Damn it! I shouldn't have taken a taxi.
**[06:08] (Flashback) Nikaido**
I walked.
**[06:14] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
We need to hire a professional.
**[06:45] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
It's okay.
**[06:48] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
Yano-san, what should we do?
**[06:51] (Flashback) Yano**
Don't give up, man.
**[06:56] (Flashback) Yano**
I seriously can't with this.
**[07:00] (Flashback) Yano**
Looks like she was bludgeoned
by a pissed off Nikaido,
**[07:10] (Flashback) Yano**
then strangled by Yamamoto.
**[07:15] (Flashback) Yano**
"Never murder no matter how fat
the stacks" is the boss' roots.
**[07:20] (Flashback) Yano**
Now it's my rule.
**[07:22] (Flashback) Yano**
But you played fast and loose,
now you went and screwed the pooch.
**[07:28] (Flashback) Yano**
To me, that's how it looks.
**[07:31] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
Hey, you. Spread that tarp over there.
**[07:37] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
Come on.
**[07:40] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
We're gonna move her. Hurry up.
**[07:43] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Okay.
**[07:51] (Flashback) Yano**
Hey.
**[08:12] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Hurry, hurry.
**[08:22] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Um, where are we going?
**[08:24] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
Out to sea, then towards Kawasaki.
**[08:26] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
Land routes are too dangerous.
**[08:28] (Flashback) Yamamato**
What? We're going to toss her into the sea?
**[08:30] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
She'd come floating back
up right away, idiot.
**[08:35] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
We're gonna melt her.
**[08:38] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Wouldn't that construction site
be a better place to hide her?
**[08:41] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
That's our last resort.
**[08:45] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Last resort?
**[08:47] (Flashback) Yano**
No one ever resorts to using a last resort.
**[08:52] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
That land belongs to the group, idiot.
**[08:55] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
We're doing this without
the higher ups' knowledge.
**[08:56] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
We're screwed if they find out.
**[09:05] (Flashback) Yano**
Hurry up or the sun will come up.
**[09:28] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Push that side. We'll dump her.
**[09:35] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Let's dump her.
**[09:40] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Are you okay?
**[09:44] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
Unbelievable. Yano-san,
could you handle the engine?
**[09:48] (Flashback) Yano**
What?
**[09:52] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
Hey!
**[09:59] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
You idiots! What are you doing?!
**[10:08] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Hey, Nikaido, um...
**[11:13] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
Hello.
**[11:31] (Flashback) Girl**
What? Yuki?
**[11:32] (Flashback) Girl**
Yuki! Are you okay?!
**[11:34] (Flashback) Boy**
Hey! Are you okay?
**[11:35] (Flashback) Girl**
Someone get a teacher!
**[11:35] (Flashback) Boy**
Got it!
**[11:36] (Flashback) Girl**
Yuki? What's wrong?
**[11:38] (Flashback) Girl**
It's Yuki!
**[11:39] (Flashback) Students**
This is bad.
**[11:40] (Flashback) Students**
Are you okay? Yuki? Yuki?
**[11:42] (Flashback) Students**
Are you okay? Yuki!
**[12:07] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
Yes?
**[12:11] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
You came to see me?
**[12:12] (Flashback) Kanon**
Yeah.
**[12:14] (Flashback) Student A**
Yuki-chan, we're gonna go.
**[12:16] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
Okay.
**[12:16] (Flashback) Student B**
We'll visit again before you move.
**[12:17] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
Thanks. Bye. Thanks.
**[12:18] (Flashback) Student**
See you later.
**[12:19] (Flashback) Student**
Bye.
**[12:20] (Flashback) Student**
Take care.
**[12:23] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
It's good to see you again.
**[12:24] (Flashback) Kanon**
Good to see you.
**[12:28] (Flashback) Student A**
I'm amazed she showed her face here.
**[12:30] (Flashback) Student B**
Right? Talk about shameless.
**[12:33] (Flashback) Kanon**
Yuki, you're moving?
**[12:35] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
Yeah. I'm transferring schools.
**[12:38] (Flashback) Rena**
What?
**[12:40] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
It's not your fault, Rena-san.
**[12:42] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
I was always planning to move in
with my father who lives in Tokyo.
**[12:48] (Flashback) Kanon**
I see. So, how are you doing?
**[12:53] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
A lot better. See?
**[13:01] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
Rena-san, I heard you were suspended.
**[13:08] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
I'm sorry that happened because of me.
**[13:11] (Flashback) Rena**
No, uh...
**[13:14] (Flashback) Kanon**
Tokyo, huh? Lucky. I'd love to go hang out.
**[13:17] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
Kanon-san, you're thinking
of Harajuku, aren't you?
**[13:20] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
My father's house is in Nerima.
**[13:22] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
It's not that different from here.
**[13:24] (Flashback) Kanon**
No way! When are you moving?
**[13:28] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
As soon as I'm out of the hospital.
**[13:30] (Flashback) Kanon**
I see.
**[13:34] (Flashback) Kanon**
Hey, Rena. Yuki said she wanted to see you.
**[13:40] (Flashback) Rena**
What?
**[13:42] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
I thought we'd regret not seeing
each other before we parted ways.
**[13:48] (Flashback) Kanon**
Right?
**[13:51] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
I still like you, Rena-san, so...
**[13:56] (Flashback) Kanon**
Wait, what about me?
**[13:58] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
Kanon-san, you'll forget
about me before long.
**[14:02] (Flashback) Kanon**
How could you? You know that's not true.
**[14:05] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
Let's hang out in Tokyo
together sometime, okay?
**[14:08] (Flashback) Kanon**
Agreed!
**[14:12] (Flashback) Kanon**
Right, Rena?
**[14:16] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
Oh, right. That keychain.
**[14:27] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
Thank you. I'll treasure it.
**[14:36] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
It's so cute.
**[14:40] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
Rena-san? I hope you're not crying.
**[14:44] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
It'll make it harder to see you again.
**[14:48] Donraku**
Thank you.
**[14:53] Donraku**
Thank you.
**[14:55] Kumiko**
Rena-chan, thank you so much
for coming today.
**[15:00] Kumiko**
We were just going to invite family, but
we wanted to make an exception for you.
**[15:05] Kumiko**
I'm sure Yuki is happy, too.
**[15:08] Donraku**
Thank you for all that you've done.
**[15:12] Rena**
I'm sorry I couldn't do anything to help.
**[15:16] Kumiko**
That's not true at all. You kept
searching for her until the end.
**[15:21] Rena**
Are you two all right?
**[15:27] Donraku**
Yeah.
**[15:30] Donraku**
I'm relieved Yuki finally came back to us.
**[15:36] Rena**
Right.
**[15:38] Kumiko**
Rena-chan, you can come talk
to us anytime you're hurting.
**[15:45] Rena**
Um, I did a terrible thing to Yuki-san.
**[15:57] Kumiko**
What do you mean?
**[16:02] Rena**
I'm the one who injured her
on the stairs in high school.
**[16:17] Donraku**
That's in the past.
**[16:22] Rena**
I liked Yuki.
**[16:26] Rena**
She was so brilliant, it frustrated me.
**[16:33] Rena**
I still don't understand what
I did then or why I did it.
**[16:48] Rena**
It eats away at me so much
I don't know what to do.
**[16:53] Rena**
I'm sorry.
**[17:14] Yamamoto**
Yes! I hope you'll come!
**[17:17] Yamamoto**
I'll pick you up. Okay, thank you!
**[17:26] Nakamine**
Excuse me.
**[17:29] Nakamine**
Yamamoto-san.
**[17:36] Nakamine**
Um, Nikaido-san.
**[17:40] Nakamine**
You know why we're here, don't you?
**[17:42] Fujiki**
You're under arrest for the murder
of Mitsuya Yuki on December 24th
**[17:45] Fujiki**
and abandoning her body.
**[17:52] Ichimura**
What? Wait, what do you mean?

**[18:32] Sato**
I'd like to try disguising myself.
**[18:33] Ibusuki**
Sure, do it. What?
**[18:36] Rena**
Hello.
**[18:37] Sato**
Hello. Feels like it's been a while, huh?
**[18:42] Ibusuki**
You should've let me know you were coming.
**[18:44] Rena**
Sorry. The Yuki stuff has calmed down
for now, so I came to tidy up.
**[18:52] Ibusuki**
What about the future? Have you
already decided what you're going to do?
**[18:56] Rena**
Not really.
**[19:00] Ibusuki**
Don't be so secretive.
**[19:04] Rena**
I've been learning on the job
for a while now,
**[19:06] Rena**
so I figured I'd do some
classroom learning for a while.
**[19:09] Sato**
What classroom learning?
**[19:11] Otani**
You're going to college?
**[19:12] Rena**
I'll start by getting my
secondary school certificate.
**[19:16] Rena**
Then I'll study the law properly.
**[19:19] Otani**
What about an online program?
**[19:22] Otani**
Then you can keep working while you study.
**[19:25] Otani**
That's what my second cousin's
husband's sister's friend did,
**[19:29] Otani**
and she makes tons of money now.
**[19:33] Otani**
Why don't you do that while
you come back to work for us?
**[19:37] Otani**
Finding a new investigator would be
a lot of work. Right, boss?
**[19:41] Sato**
What are you talking about? We've got me.
**[19:43] Otani**
Who, you? Where?
**[19:44] Caster**
*According to their investigation,*
**[19:44] Sato**
Hey! I'm already right here, aren't I?
**[19:45] Caster**
*police found signs that Mitsuya-san
was struck on the head with a blunt object*
**[19:46] Ibusuki**
You just joined recently.
**[19:49] Caster**
*and strangled with something like a cable.*
**[19:53] Caster**
* Also, there was no weapon*
* found at the crime scene.*
**[19:58] Caster**
*Based on the method used,*
**[20:00] Caster**
* the police believe the culprit held*
* a strong grudge against Mitsuya-san*
**[20:03] Caster**
* and are currently*
* questioning multiple people*
**[20:06] Caster**
* who may have had interpersonal*
* issues with the victim.*
**[20:09] Wadagaki**
What happened to you today?
**[20:11] Rena**
Sorry for suddenly asking to meet.
**[20:13] Wadagaki**
It's totally fine. It's not like
I have anything else to do.
**[20:16] Wadagaki**
Everyone's been arrested.
My schedule's wide open.
**[20:21] Employee**
Thank you for waiting.
**[20:23] Customer**
Wait, really?
**[20:27] Employee**
You have my support.
**[20:29] Customer**
This is so awkward.
**[20:33] Wadagaki**
Now I'm famous for something weird.
Did you see the news?
**[20:38] Rena**
Yeah. Sorry I didn't notice.
**[20:42] Wadagaki**
It's fine. Now I don't have to wear a mask.
**[20:49] Rena**
I figured out a bunch of things
because you called me the other day.
**[20:53] Rena**
I wanted to thank you for that today.
**[20:55] Wadagaki**
Really? You mean about Nikaido-san?
**[20:58] Rena**
Yeah. It made me realize there are
unimaginably scary things out there.
**[21:06] Rena**
Wadagaki-san, what are you going to do?
**[21:09] Wadagaki**
I've actually been recruited
by another agency.
**[21:12] Rena**
Another agency? You're going
to keep being an idol?
**[21:14] Wadagaki**
I can't let that bring me down.
It's the reason I came to Tokyo.
**[21:20] Wadagaki**
I can't go home until
I've accomplished something.
**[21:23] Rena**
Right.
**[21:25] Wadagaki**
Besides, I haven't been paid yet.
**[21:28] Wadagaki**
I can't even get in touch
with the company president.
**[21:31] Wadagaki**
I've gotten caught in the crossfire.
**[21:33] Rena**
Crossfire?
**[21:34] Wadagaki**
Huh?
**[21:36] Rena**
Come to think of it,
**[21:38] Rena**
you and Ichimura-san must've been asked
what you were doing the day of the incident.
**[21:44] Wadagaki**
Yeah. This again?
**[21:47] Wadagaki**
The police asked me too,
but it was a normal day for me.
**[21:50] Wadagaki**
I went to my dance lesson,
and then I went home.
**[21:53] Wadagaki**
Why do you ask?
**[21:55] Rena**
Your dance lesson, huh?
What about Ichimura-san?
**[21:58] Wadagaki**
I don't know. Probably
doing her sugar daddy job.
**[22:02] Rena**
Maybe that was the reason.
**[22:06] Rena**
What caused Nikaido-san
and Mitsuya-san's disagreement?
**[22:09] Wadagaki**
Nikaido-san had a harsh personality.
