SIGN    Eccentric's Corridor SIGN    Ishihara Touma [00:17] middle-aged customer     Yes, this is it! [00:19] middle-aged customer     Thank you! [00:20] Mikado     You're welcome. [00:25] Mikado     There are some things my eyes     see with strange clarity. [00:30] Mikado     Unfortunately, this isn't my     destined soulmate or anything. [00:34] Mikado     I think it's more likely... [00:36] Mikado     that she's deceased. [00:40] Hiyakawa     My destiny... is you. [00:45] Hiyakawa     You removed your glasses? [00:47] Hiyakawa     Even though your eyesight is bad? [00:54] Mikado     I-I'm very sorry. [00:57] Hiyakawa     Triangle-kun? [01:00] Mikado     It's read "Mikado." [01:01] Hiyakawa     Mikado-kun, to think I'd run into you...     a person like you, by pure chance. [01:07] Hiyakawa     Our meeting must have been destiny! [01:10] Mikado     Huh? [01:11] Hiyakawa     Your ability. After all, you see so clearly. [01:18] Hiyakawa     I'm sorry to do this so suddenly. [01:28] Mikado     What... was that? [01:31] Mikado     Somehow, it felt... incredibly... good... [01:38] Hiyakawa     Amazing. Destiny is real. [01:44] shop manager     Wow... So ghosts really do exist. [01:48] shop manager     But Master Hiyakawa,     how does an exorcism work? [01:53] Hiyakawa     Master? Please, there's     no need to call me that. [01:55] Hiyakawa     In my case, I suppose you could say I have     the ability to grab and clobber them. [02:01] Mikado     Clobber? [02:02] shop manager     Mikado-kun, you're awake? [02:05] shop manager     Well, you know how there have been     rumors that our shop is haunted? [02:09] shop manager     It was getting kind of dire, you know? [02:11] shop manager     So, well... [02:12] shop manager     Oh, did you want to sit up and talk? [02:15] Mikado     No, this is the first time I've ever fainted, [02:18] Mikado     so I really can't sit up right now. [02:20] Hiyakawa     It felt so good that you fainted? [02:24] Hiyakawa     That was me directly touching     something akin to your soul. [02:29] Hiyakawa     I used it as a booster     and clobbered the thing. [02:31] Hiyakawa     It feels good when two souls touch. [02:34] Hiyakawa     And if you can believe it, when I touched     yours, I found we're highly compatible! [02:40] Hiyakawa     It's desti— [02:40] Mikado     You're a fraud, right? [02:45] Hiyakawa     Do you deny everything you've seen up to now? [02:49] shop manager     Mikado-kun, you can sense ghosts? [02:51] shop manager     Why didn't you tell me? [02:54] Mikado     Well, all I can really do is see them... [02:57] Mikado     Uh, I mean, I plan to get a brain scan one day— [03:00] Hiyakawa     Mikado-kun. [03:02] Hiyakawa     This is destiny. [03:06] Hiyakawa     So, Manager... [03:08] shop manager     Yes? SIGN    Don't Cry, Girl     Yamashita Tomoko [03:10] Hiyakawa     Please give me Mikado-kun! SIGN    Hori Books [03:23] Hiyakawa     I want an assistant. [03:24] Mikado     For what? [03:25] Hiyakawa     Well, the work I was doing earlier     is exhausting to do alone. [03:31] Hiyakawa     So to meet someone like you     with your natural talents— [03:34] Hiyakawa     and I say this with no     exaggeration—must be destiny. [03:37] Hiyakawa     Truly. [03:41] Mikado     Don't touch me like that. It's weird. [03:44] Hiyakawa     "Weird" how? [03:45] Mikado     I can't move. [03:47] Hiyakawa     Really? But I haven't touched your core yet. [03:51] Mikado     My core? [03:52] Hiyakawa     The thing that's akin to your soul.     The core of you as a person. [03:57] Hiyakawa     Do you want me to touch it? [03:58] Mikado     Quit messing around! [04:00] Mikado     It's Hiyakawa-san, right? [04:02] Hiyakawa     Yes. [04:03] Mikado     I'm going to be honest here. I'm scared. [04:07] Mikado     The reason I take my glasses off is to     keep my distance from those things. [04:12] Mikado     Even when everything else looks     blurry, I see those things clearly. [04:16] Mikado     I can tell them apart. [04:18] Mikado     If I can tell them apart, I can run from them. [04:21] Mikado     They scare me! [04:23] Mikado     Let go of me. [04:28] Hiyakawa     Mikado-kun. [04:30] Hiyakawa     If you're with me, you won't be scared anymore. [04:39] shop manager     So... [04:41] shop manager     This is Yamai of Hori Books. Good morning. SIGN    Yamai-san [04:45] shop manager     The thing is... Hiyakawa-san     asked for a bit of a favor. [04:49] shop manager     He wants you in Ashigaya at 1:00 PM today, [04:54] shop manager     so you don't have to come     in for your shift today. [04:57] shop manager     Oh! You're not fired, okay?     Please don't quit! [05:01] shop manager     Anyway, please go check your email, too! [05:05] Mikado     What? [05:07] caretaker     I don't like to say this out loud... [05:10] caretaker     But a few years ago, there was a suicide here. [05:13] caretaker     So, well, ever since then, [05:16] caretaker; background     strange things have been happening. [05:16] Mikado     Stuff like that causes problems     for me. Makes it hard to work. [05:18] caretaker; background     But leaving it vacant is     problematic for us, so... [05:20] Hiyakawa     This here is what is known     as a stigmatized property. [05:23] Mikado     That's got nothing to do with me. [05:26] Hiyakawa     And yet you're here. [05:29] caretaker     Please take your shoes off. [05:32] caretaker     You really think there's a curse or     the wrath of an angry spirit here? [05:37] Hiyakawa     Oh, no, it's nothing like that. [05:40] Hiyakawa     Just someone who couldn't enter     the reclamation-rebirth cycle, [05:43] Hiyakawa     so there's a sort of energy in the     air that isn't where it should be. [05:46] caretaker     I see... [05:49] Mikado     There's something here. [05:50] Hiyakawa     Yes, there is. [05:52] Hiyakawa     When you touch me,     I really can see very clearly. [05:55] caretaker     Well, I'll leave the rest to you. [05:58] Mikado     Wha... Wai— [05:59] Hiyakawa     Mikado-kun, keep your hand     there for a bit, all right? [06:03] Mikado     N-No... I just... can't. [06:09] Hiyakawa     Your eyes are incredible. [06:12] Mikado     No! I told you, I'm scared! [06:14] Mikado     Hey! Stop! Pull out! I said get out of me! [06:17] Hiyakawa     It's all right. I'll go slowly. [06:20] Hiyakawa     It should feel good. [06:22] Hiyakawa     It feels really good for me. [06:25] Mikado     I-It's weird that I'm not getting hard... [06:27] Hiyakawa     That's because it isn't     your body that feels good. [06:30] Hiyakawa     Oh, you really are...incredible. [06:35] Mikado     H-Hang on... [06:36] Mikado     That thing's moving, isn't it? [06:38] Hiyakawa     Yes, because I called it over here just now. [06:41] Mikado     Why would you do that? [06:44] Hiyakawa     If it isn't within arm's length,     I can't clobber it, can I? [06:47] Hiyakawa     Would you rather we go to it? [06:49] Mikado     No, no, no, no! I hate this!     Why is this happening? [06:53] Hiyakawa     You're awfully lively, aren't you? [06:54] Mikado     That's because I'm scared as hell! [06:57] Hiyakawa     Focus a little more on your senses. [06:59] Hiyakawa     I'm going to touch it now. [07:01] Mikado     What? [07:02] Hiyakawa     Your core. [07:07] Mikado     If you're scared, please close your eyes. [07:11] Mikado     N-Not looking at the things     I can see... is scarier. [07:16] Hiyakawa     You are amazing. [07:37] Mikado     Did you clobber it? [07:39] Hiyakawa     I clobbered it. [07:41] Hiyakawa     Take a look. It's all clean now. [07:44] Mikado     Sh-Should exorcisms be this erotic? [07:49] Mikado     Th-That felt really... good. [07:52] Hiyakawa     Oh, did you know? [07:53] Hiyakawa     When paranormal stuff happens, they say     it's good to think of erotic things. [07:57] Hiyakawa     Because when spirits are faced with     the life force of humans, they run away! [08:01] Hiyakawa     Ever since I read the     folklore on the internet, [08:04] Hiyakawa     I no longer struggle to     justify the things I feel. [08:08] Mikado     What's the pay? [08:10] Hiyakawa     Your cut is 118,000 yen     times four divided by three. [08:14] Hiyakawa     You only need to come in three times a week. [08:18] Mikado     All right. SIGN    Property Appraisals ・ Special Cleaning Services [08:23] Mikado     Property appraisals and     special cleaning services? [08:26] Hiyakawa     It's not wrong. [08:29] Mikado     It doesn't mention ghosts. [08:30] Hiyakawa     Who would even believe me if I put     something like that on my sign? [08:35] Hiyakawa     Would you make some tea, please? [08:39] Mikado     Uh, right away... [08:44] Hiyakawa     I'm going to do it now. [08:47] Hiyakawa     Come here! [09:02] Hiyakawa     It felt good that time, too, didn't it? [09:06] Mikado     It scares me how all my     pent-up lust just vanished. [09:09] Mikado     Also, sexual abstinence aside, [09:12] Mikado     why do I have to stay away from meat     and alcohol before an exorcism? [09:16] Hiyakawa     Because you'll be less tired afterward. [09:19] Hiyakawa     I read that on the internet, though. [09:21] Mikado     Seriously? [09:22] Hiyakawa     Seriously. [09:25] Hiyakawa     That's why I treat you to steak     like this after we finish. [09:29] Hiyakawa     Meat is especially tasty     after physical exertion. [09:32] Hiyakawa     Isn't it? [09:38] Hiyakawa     Well? Do you think you'll be     able to get over the fear? [09:41] Mikado     I don't know. I think living humans     might be way more terrifying. [09:46] Hiyakawa     That's a standard sort of answer. [09:49] Mikado     I mean, even in that situation,     she tried to haggle over the fee. [09:55] (Flashback) female customer     U-Um... [09:57] (Flashback) female customer     You finished everything     in five minutes, right? [10:00] (Flashback) female customer     Would you consider reducing your fee? [10:03] (Flashback) Mikado     Huh? [10:04] (Flashback) Hiyakawa     We will not. [10:08] (Flashback) Hiyakawa     We absolutely will not. [10:14] Mikado     Excuse me! Can we get more water, please? [10:20] Hiyakawa     Incredible! Is that a superpower? [10:24] Mikado     What are you talking about? It's just     reading the situation, that's all. [10:29] Hiyakawa     Reading the situation? [10:30] Mikado     There are times when you     just have to, you know? [10:34] Mikado     Like when you're the only     one who saw something. [10:37] Hiyakawa     Oh, is that right? I see. [10:41] Mikado     Hiyakawa-san, your Japanese     is a little strange. [10:44] Mikado     Did you grow up elsewhere? [10:46] Hiyakawa     Oh, that's because I was never     a chatty sort of person. [10:59] Hanzawa     The ears, upper right arm, and torso     of the first victim, Miyaka Sayaka. [11:04] Hanzawa     The head, right forearm, lower right leg,     and lower left leg of the second, Okada Aya. [11:10] Hanzawa     The right thigh, left thigh, hands,     and feet of the third, Kawamura Eiko. [11:18] Hiyakawa     This is that dismemberment case where     the murderer killed himself, right? [11:22] Hiyakawa     It was about a year ago, wasn't it? [11:24] Hanzawa     That's right. [11:25] Hanzawa     Even after a year, we can't find the parts. [11:28] Hanzawa     Put together, they're enough     to make a whole corpse. [11:31] Hanzawa     I want you to look for them.     Their ending is too sad as it stands. SIGN    Metropolitan Police Investigation Unit 1      Murder Investigation Team 9 Leader           Lieutenant      Hanzawa Hiroki [11:41] Hanzawa     All three of them worked for the same     company, but they didn't know each other. [11:45] Hanzawa     Do you want to know how we found the bodies? [11:48] Hiyakawa     No, thank you. [11:49] Hanzawa     Right, then. [11:51] Hanzawa     The three went missing one after     another, and some time later, [11:55] Hanzawa     parts of their dismembered     bodies were found. [11:58] Hanzawa     I have pictures if you want to see. [12:00] Hiyakawa     No, thank you. [12:01] Hanzawa     Right, then. [12:03] Hanzawa     First, we suspected a man in the company's     HR who'd interacted with all of them. [12:08] Hanzawa     But the person we arrested was a clerk      at a nearby convenience store. [12:12] Hanzawa     He'd done the work in his bathroom.     All the evidence fell into place. [12:17] Hanzawa     But the thing is... [12:18] Hanzawa     The way I saw it, the convenience store     clerk wasn't a stalker or a killer. [12:22] Hanzawa     He was just some uninteresting punk. [12:25] Hanzawa     The evidence was conclusive. He confessed. [12:28] Hanzawa     He didn't know the HR guy,     and had no previous record. [12:32] Hanzawa     There's a person's worth of parts missing, [12:35] Hanzawa     but he didn't seem to have the     intelligence needed to hide them. [12:37] Hanzawa     While in custody, he hung himself and died. [12:40] Hanzawa     What's that about? [12:41] Hanzawa     Because of that, we haven't     been able to find the remains. [12:45] Mikado     Um, I think I might have a stomachache. [12:48] Hanzawa     You'll do this for me, right? [12:50] Hanzawa     I made sure you'd be able to     get into the clerk's place. [12:55] Hanzawa     What is it? Is something up     with Tenderfoot over there? [12:57] Hiyakawa     Yes. He has extraordinarily good eyesight. [13:03] Hanzawa     Oh? SIGN    Peaceful Apartments [13:06] Hiyakawa     Here it is. The bathroom. [13:07] Hiyawaka     Mikado-kun, come over here! [13:10] Hiyakawa     It's all right. There's no one here. [13:12] Mikado     No, this is so notallright! [13:15] Hiyakawa     Notall...? [13:16] Mikado     And this isn't an exorcism! [13:18] Hiyakawa     It's always good to have     the police owe you a favor. [13:21] Mikado     Someone died here, right? [13:25] Hiyakawa     People have died everywhere. [13:34] Mikado     No one... here. [13:37] Mikado     Yes. There's no one here. [13:40] Hiyakawa     I said so, didn't I? [13:42] Mikado     Hey, so how are you going     to go about this search? [13:45] Mikado     I'm not a police dog. [13:48] Mikado     Part of a c-corpse... I can't     just find something like that. [13:52] Mikado     And from a year ago... [13:54] Hiyakawa     Well, you see... [13:56] Hiyakawa     Up to this point, I've been     unilaterally entering you [13:59] Hiyakawa     and sort of synchronizing     myself to your senses. [14:03] Hiyakawa     I'm going to pull you out     of your shell a little more [14:06] Hiyakawa     and have you share in my senses this time. [14:09] Mikado     Okay... Why do you seem excited about it? [14:12] Hiyakawa     Because this feels incredibly     good for me, too. [14:16] Mikado     Wha... W-Wait! [14:18] Hiyakawa     Ready? You're ready, right? [14:21] Hiyakawa     I'm coming in. [14:25] Hiyakawa     It's different than usual, isn't it? [14:27] Mikado     Wait! I'm s-scared! [14:29] Hiyakawa     Of what? [14:30] Mikado     O-Of you! [14:34] Hiyakawa     Do you hear something? [14:35] Hiyakawa     My hearing is better than yours. [14:50] Mikado     "H—" [14:52] Mikado; Hiyakawa     "Hiura Erika tricked me." [14:58] Hiyakawa     This is how we'll search. [15:00] Hiyakawa     We'll share our senses to sharpen them. [15:03] Mikado     I-Is the biting and licking necessary? [15:06] Hiyakawa     I was so excited, I got carried away. [15:08] Mikado     What does that mean? That's scary. [15:10] Hiyakawa     We'll gather information at the     other locations in this same way. [15:14] Mikado     Huh?! We're doing this more than once? SIGN    Machiwa-shi, block 4 SIGN    Hotel Seventeen [15:27] Mikado     Somehow, lately... [15:29] Mikado     I feel like there's less distance     between me and those things. [15:47] Hanzawa     You sure this is the place? [15:50] Mikado     That's what she said. [15:52] Mikado     Um... It was probably one of the victims. [15:55] Hanzawa     Hmph. You're a bit of a monster yourself. [15:57] Hanzawa     There are times when monsters     are better than humans, though. [16:11] Hiyakawa     Mikado-kun. [16:12] Hiyakawa     It's better if we stay connected. [16:14] Hiyakawa     You won't be scared that way. [16:17] Mikado     Hey, about that name, Hiura Erika... [16:20] Mikado     You're not telling Hanzawa-san about it? [16:22] Hiyakawa     I'll tell him. But he probably     won't pay it any mind. [16:26] Hiyakawa     This isn't my first time. [16:28] Mikado     What do you mean? [16:30] Hiyakawa     But first, we have our search. [16:36] Mikado     Whoa... [16:37] Hanzawa     It's a real dump, huh? [16:41] Hanzawa     What's this, Tenderfoot?     Got yourself scruffed? [16:44] Hanzawa     Did you try to run away? [16:46] Hiyakawa     This is his work position. [16:48] Mikado     Your Japanese is weird! [16:50] Hanzawa     Right! How should we search? [16:53] Hiyakawa     Mikado-kun. [16:55] Mikado     Yeah. [16:56] Hiyakawa     Look carefully. I'll listen. [17:00] Hiyakawa     We'll share those two senses. [17:02] Hiyakawa     That's right. [17:04] Hiyawaka     There's something here. [17:08] Mikado; Hiyakawa     The boiler room! [17:12] Mikado     Huh? Whoa, wait! Isn't that dangerous? [17:16] Hiyakawa     Don't worry. He's got zero spiritual sense. [17:19] Mikado     Don't curses still get you even     with zero spiritual sense? [17:24] Hiyakawa     That man will not believe anything     he hasn't confirmed with his own eyes. [17:29] Hiyakawa     What you don't believe in cannot act on you. [17:34] Hanzawa     Making me search for a whole year... [17:56] Hiyakawa     It's all right. Breathe. Take a deep breath. [17:59] Mikado     This is so... not all right. [18:03] Mikado     And... what is that? [18:06] Hiyakawa     You always see them in a more      human form, don't you? [18:11] Mikado     Huh? Is it one of those? [18:13] Mikado     That's... I-Is that how you see them? [18:18] Mikado     And for a scaredy-cat like me [18:21] Mikado     to see a corpse... a-and a thing like that... [18:25] Mikado     and still be this calm... makes no sense. [18:28] Hanzawa     Yes. Yes. Right, thanks. [18:32] Hanzawa     I'll take care of the two     from the cleaning company. [18:37] Hanzawa     Yes. [18:40] Hanzawa     You okay, Tenderfoot? [18:42] Hiyakawa     He said that his fear     disappears when he's with me. [18:45] Hanzawa     Hey, Tenderfoot, keep quiet and     take a deep breath through your nose. [18:50] Hanzawa     Hiyakawa, let him go. [18:52] Hiyakawa     If I let him go now, he'll throw up. [18:55] Hanzawa     I'm used to seeing people vomit. [18:57] Hiyakawa     Let go. [19:00] Hanzawa     Breathe in... and out. [19:03] Hanzawa     That's it. It's all right. [19:07] Hanzawa     Hiyakawa! [19:09] Hanzawa     Don't go in there. [19:11] Hiyakawa     It's so well-made. [19:13] Hiyakawa     The outrageous selection of people [19:14] Hiyakawa     for the components makes it more effective. [19:17] Hiyakawa     Once the instrument is complete, [19:19] Hiyakawa     all that's needed is to say,     "You are cursed" to the target. [19:23] Mikado     Cursed? What do you— [19:25] Hanzawa     You mean Hiura Erika? [19:27] Hanzawa     In the unlikely event that     something so ridiculous exists, [19:31] Hanzawa     it's outside the police's jurisdiction. [19:33] Hanzawa     We can't investigate a name that's     got nothing to do with the case. [19:37] Hiyakawa     And if I don't receive a request,     it isn't my jurisdiction, either. [19:41] Hiyakawa     The poor thing. [19:43] Hanzawa     There's no way you think that. [19:47] Mikado     If I can see that thing     with my eyes, it means... [19:50] Mikado     If it isn't just that I'm crazy, then... [19:54] Mikado     It means that there were once     people who lived, then died. [19:58] Mikado     Ordinary people... [20:00] Mikado     Once... [20:03] (Flashback) Hiyakawa     People have died everywhere. [20:08] Mikado     I don't... understand. [20:11] Hanzawa     Hey, you okay?
