SIGN    Keita-kun
[01:34] Erika
    Hello. Can you hear me?
[01:37] Mikado
    Yes, I can hear you.
[01:42] Mukae
    I'll protect you from here.
[01:44] Mukae
    Come back safe.
[01:46] Erika
    Okay, I'll call you over here now.
[01:49] Mikado
    Understood.
[01:55] Mikado
    Whoa! Teleportation!
[01:57] Erika
    There they are.
[01:59] Erika
    We can see you!
[02:00] Erika
    Using Mukae-kun's barrier and mine,
[02:02] Erika
    we can use our phones so that everyone can
    hear both spirit voices and real voices.
[02:07] Mukae
    Wow, yeah, I can hear you!
[02:09] Hiyakawa
    What a flexible way of thinking.
[02:11] Erika
    I get that a lot.
[02:13] Sakaki
    I'm the only one who can't see anything.
    Can't hear anything, either.
[02:17] Erika
    That's always the case, though.
[02:18] Erika
    Sakaki-san, you keep an eye on
    Sensei's house in a physical sense.
[02:21] Erika
    That's why we rented this room.
[02:24] Erika
    No matter how vigilant Sensei might be,
[02:27] Erika
    he must be hiding something in his house.
[02:29] Erika
    If we're gonna search, then now's our
    only chance, while he's away on business.
[02:33] Erika
    That's the info this gorilla gave us.
[02:35] Sakaki
    And I'm the only one left completely
    outside the mosquito net.
[02:38] Hiyakawa
    Well, shall we go inside?
[02:40] Mukae
    If anything happens,
    I'll call you right back.
[02:43] Mikado
    Thanks.
[02:58] Mikado
    It's really stark, but
    it's just a regular house.
[03:04] Sakaki
    Wai— Miss, please stop!
[03:06] Erika
    Stop struggling!
[03:12] Erika
    I connected Sakaki-san
    to the barrier network,
[03:15] Erika
    since it's a pain having him outside.
[03:16] Mikado
    Huh?
[03:17] Erika
    Spiritually speaking,
    he's a bit on the dense side,
[03:20] Erika
    so I sort of had to shove
    a giant antenna in him.
[03:22] Mukae
    That's insanely violent...
[03:23] Sakaki
    You can't be serious... You can't be serious!
[03:26] Mikado
    Um, then... can you hear me?
[03:29] Sakaki
    Thanks to a certain someone.
    Damn it, what is this? It's creepy.
[03:33] Mikado
    We just need to find a
    weakness of Sensei's, right?
[03:37] Sakaki
    Yeah.
[03:38] Sakaki
    Info that would shake up the
    research society will work, too.
[03:41] Erika
    The most important thing
    is to find Sensei's name.
[03:44] Mikado
    Yeah. We'll just try looking around for now.
[03:47] Mikado
    Right. Hiyakawa-san, will you...
[03:49] Hiyakawa
    Mikado-kun!
[03:51] Mukae
    Wh-What is it?
[03:52] Mukae
    What's wrong?!
[03:54] Hiyakawa
    It's...
[03:55] Hiyakawa
    It's a pile of money!
[03:57] Hiyakawa
    There's a huge pile of money!
[03:59] Sakaki
    Oh, it's probably remuneration for his work.
[04:02] Sakaki
    He worships money.
[04:03] Mukae
    Hey, Hiyakawa! Your body's
    twitching and writhing!
[04:05] Hiyakawa
    If... If my physical body were here
    right now, I could carry this away!
[04:15] Mikado
    The bedroom? Did something
    grab your attention?
[04:18] Hiyakawa
    No. It isn't what's right
    here that bothers me.
[04:22] Mikado
    Huh? Then what is it?
[04:25] Hiyakawa
    I don't know.
[04:27] Hiyakawa
    It just... feels strangely nostalgic somehow.
[04:31] Mikado
    Nostalgic?
[04:33] Mukae
    Whoa!
[04:34] Mukae
    That's a shock. That house is built
    over the place where you used to be...
[04:39] Mukae
    The Palm of the Hand Research Society.
[04:45] Mikado
    This place?
[04:46] Sakaki
    That means either Sensei or our syndicate
[04:49] Sakaki
    must've bought the land and built the house.
[04:52] Erika
    It's a place where lots of people died, right?
[04:55] Erika
    Sensei might be making use of
    something that's still there.
[05:00] Mikado
    Hey, don't you think it'd be better
    if we called this off for today?
[05:04] Mikado
    Or at least send Hiyakawa-san
    back or something.
[05:06] Hiyakawa
    Why?
[05:08] Mikado
    Why?
[05:10] Mikado
    You might remember
    something you don't want to.
[05:12] Hiyakawa
    I won't "remember." I never forgot.
[05:16] Mikado
    Huh?
[05:16] Hiyakawa
    I'm all right.
[05:29] Hiyakawa
    Before, there was a staircase
    as soon as you entered.
[05:33] Mikado
    Huh?
[05:35] Hiyakawa
    Upstairs was a dining hall.
    Downstairs was a room with no windows.
[05:39] Hiyakawa
    I was downstairs.
[05:41] Hiyakawa
    There was a hallway down there.
[05:43] Hiyakawa
    I can count the number of times
     I passed through it, they were so few.
[05:47] Hiyakawa
    I wonder where my room was.
[05:51] Hiyakawa
    Do you think there's somewhere in this
    house that connects to the basement?
[05:55] Mikado
    Huh?
[05:56] Mikado
    P-Probably not. From what we've seen,
    it looks like a normal house.
[06:00] Mikado
    I really think that today—
[06:02] Hiyakawa
    I left something in my room.
[06:04] Mikado
    Huh?
[06:05] Hiyakawa
    It belonged to my mother...
[06:08] Hiyakawa
    To the person who used to be my mother.
[06:11] Hiyakawa
    I wanted to lock it up
    there so it would be safe.
[06:16] Hiyakawa
    But then I left and never came back.
[06:20] Hiyakawa
    This nostalgic feeling... Maybe it's
     because it's still here somewhere.
[06:27] Mikado
    All right.
[06:29] Mikado
    We'll include it in our search,
[06:31] Mikado
    but I decide when we pull out, all right?
[06:33] Hiyakawa
    All right.
[06:34] Mukae
    Sentimental stuff is his weakness.
[06:36] Sakaki
    Serious weakness.
[06:37] Erika
    Definitely.
[06:37] Mikado
    Shut up! I get it!
[06:41] Mikado
    Still... We're supposed to be searching,
[06:44] Mikado
    but this place is beyond "not very
    lived in." It just looks vacant.
[06:47] Mukae
    Vacant?
[06:48] Mikado
    Like, there's dust all over
    the curtains and stuff.
[06:51] Mikado
    It's like the room of someone
    who's lost all their willpower.
[06:54] Erika
    Willpower...
[06:55] Sakaki
    Well, he does seem desperate about something.
[06:57] Sakaki
    Hey, try checking the kitchen.
[06:59] Mikado
    The kitchen?
[07:01] Sakaki
    A lot of people hide bankbooks
    and stuff in the refrigerator.
[07:04] Sakaki
    Sneak thieves and debt collectors
    always look there first.
[07:06] Hiyakawa
    The refrigerator?
[07:08] Sakaki
    And it so happens we can see it from here.
[07:10] Mikado
    R-Really?
[07:12] Sakaki
    Yeah. North side.
[07:15] Hiyakawa
    The refrigerator...
[07:17] Sakaki
    Well?
[07:20] Mikado
    It's got nothing but bread and beer in it.
[07:22] Mikado
    There's really nothing here.
[07:27] Hiyakawa
    Impurity.
[07:32] Mikado
    What is that? It's got the same
    presence as those savings boxes!
[07:36] Hiyakawa
    Impurity... No.
[07:38] Erika
    Something Sensei's been saving up?
[07:40] Hiyakawa
    Let's break it.
[07:42] Mikado
    Wait!
[07:43] Mikado
    He might be able to figure
    something out from the traces.
[07:46] Hiyakawa
    But we can't just leave it.
[07:49] Mikado
    We might be able to do it cleanly.
[07:51] Hiyakawa
    Huh?
[07:53] Mikado
    I don't really understand,
    but I feel like I can do it.
[07:58] Hiyakawa
    You?
[08:11] Mikado
    A storage area under the floor?
[08:14] Hiyakawa
    A basement.
[08:23] Hiyakawa
    It seems like there'd be something here.
[08:26] Hiyakawa
    Inside...
[08:35] Mikado
    What is that?
[08:35] Mukae
    Hey!
[08:36] Mukae
    What's wrong? Are you okay?
[08:38] Erika
    What is it? We can't see anything from here!
[08:41] Erika
    Kousuke-kun!
[08:43] Erika
    Rihito-kun!
[08:49] ---
    Wh...
[08:51] sensei
    Who's there?!
[08:53] sensei
    Who's there?
[08:55] sensei
    Who are you?
[08:57] sensei
    Who?!
[09:00] sensei
    Who... are you?
[09:08] sensei
    Who...
[09:12] sensei
    Who...
[09:20] sensei
    Who...
[09:21] Mikado
    Bring us back! Now!
[09:26] Mukae
    Hey, are you okay?
[09:28] Erika
    What happened?
[09:30] Hiyakawa
    Mikado-kun.
[09:32] Hiyakawa
    You tried to purify it just now, didn't you?
[09:35] Mikado
    Huh? Well, it never would've worked though...
[09:38] Hiyakawa
    That's a problem.
[09:41] Hiyakawa
    If you erase mine, that's a problem.
[09:43] Hiyakawa
    If you do that, I probably won't
    be able to break things anymore.
[09:48] Mikado
    Huh?
[09:58] Hanzawa
    So you guys haven't done
    any housebreaking, right?
[10:01] Mikado
    Uh... We haven't, in a physical sense.
[10:04] Mukae
    You're seriously a really
    good guy, Detective.
[10:06] Hanzawa
    Huh?
[10:08] Mikado
    Yeah, he is.
[10:09] Mukae
    I mean, you're worried about us!
[10:11] Hanzawa
    You're looking down on me, aren't you?
[10:13] Mukae
    I am not!
[10:15] Hanzawa
    Guys, I know how you feel,
    but don't get impatient.
[10:19] Hanzawa
    We don't have any info that'll let us
     go sound out the research society,
[10:22] Hanzawa
    but we are searching.
[10:23] Mikado
    Yes, sir.
[10:25] Mikado
    Um, Hiyakawa-san was—
[10:27] Hanzawa
    Don't let Hiyakawa swallow you up.
[10:28] Mikado
    Huh?
[10:29] Hanzawa
    The life he's had to lead has been fierce.
[10:33] Hanzawa
    Don't let it suck you in.
[10:35] Hanzawa
    He probably can't ever be
    a place for you to return to,
[10:40] Hanzawa
    because he doesn't have
    anywhere to return to himself.
[10:49] Hanzawa
    Don't get swallowed up by that loneliness.
[10:55] Mukae
    You know, a place to return to...
[10:57] Mikado
    Huh?
[10:58] Mukae
    A place to return to...
    I think about it a lot, too.
[11:02] Mikado
    Oh... Yeah?
[11:04] Mukae
    I don't see them very often,
[11:07] Mukae
    but I've got friends, or at least acquaintances.
[11:10] Mukae
    They're the types that
    neither harm nor heal,
[11:13] Mukae
    but hanging out with them...
    that's the place I return to.
[11:18] Mukae
    The fact that they neither
    harm nor heal is important.
[11:20] Mukae
    They make me feel like
    maybe I'm not that weird.
[11:24] Mukae
    If you're not "special,"
    that means they've let you in.
[11:29] Mikado
    Let you in?
[11:31] Mukae
    Hiura-san... and probably Sakaki-san, too...
[11:35] Mukae
    They'll be able to start looking
    after they've run away.
[11:37] Mikado
    Huh?
[11:38] Mukae
    For that kind of "place to return to."
[11:41] Mukae
    You've got one too, right?
    A place you can return to.
[11:49] (Flashback) Mikado's mom
    Kousuke.
[11:55] Mikado
    Yeah. But I'm not sure if
    I should be there or not.
[11:59] Mukae
    It's fine, you moron!
    After all, you're a good kid!
[12:02] Mikado
    What do you mean, "a good kid"?
[12:09] Mikado
    A place to return to...
[12:12] Mikado
    The fact that I've had one
    from the very beginning
[12:15] Mikado
    probably meant that I was very fortunate.
[12:18] Mikado
    I think it would be ideal
[12:21] Mikado
    if everyone unconditionally
    received that same fortune.
[12:25] Hiyakawa
    Mikado-kun.
[12:27] Hiyakawa
    Why do you...
[12:30] Hiyakawa
    Why do you worry about me?
[12:33] Mikado
    Why?
[12:40] (Flashback) Hanzawa
    That's because he doesn't
    have anywhere to return to.
[12:47] Mikado
    Do you...
[12:49] Hiyakawa
    Huh? What?
[12:50] Mikado
    Do you have things that are precious
    to you, or someone you want to be with,
[12:55] Mikado
    or things you don't want
    to forget... anything like that?
[12:59] Hiyakawa
    Yes. You.
[13:03] Mikado
    What? I don't understand what you're saying!
[13:08] Hiyakawa
    You don't understand?
[13:09] Mikado
    No, you don't have to explain!
[13:11] Mikado
    I-It's sort of still too soon...
[13:13] Hiyakawa
    Too soon?
[13:14] Mikado
    Just... I know you probably mean it in
     a paranormal, or like, a work-type way!
[13:18] Mikado
    Even so...
[13:20] Mikado
    I'm still... How do I put this?
[13:23] Mikado
    I still... can't quite accept it.
[13:28] Mikado
    It's... I, um...
[13:30] Hiyakawa
    You are such a mystery.
[13:33] Hiyakawa
    Extremely so.
[13:35] Mikado
    I'm just normal.
[13:36] Hiyakawa
    You are a mystery.
[13:38] Mikado
    Is that so?
[13:39] Hiyakawa
    Yes.
[13:42] Hiyakawa
    Quite a mystery.
[13:45] Hiyakawa
    My destiny.

[14:30] secretary
    Sensei?
[14:31] secretary
    Sensei.
[14:35] secretary
    After you use your power, you always
    become as defenseless as a child.
[14:45] secretary
    Sensei, earlier you were speaking
    about "her." May I hear more?
[14:52] Sensei
    Her?
[14:56] sensei
    Her... I wonder where she went.
[15:06] sensei
    She would often wear a light blue cardigan.
[15:12] sensei
    She was so kind.
[15:15] sensei
    Her eyes were kind. They were a
    little pale in color, and so kind.
[15:22] sensei
    That's right. She's a civil servant.
[15:25] sensei
    Her name... What was it?
[15:28] sensei
    She had a beauty mark on her back.
[15:31] sensei
    Her name was... Her name...
[15:33] secretary
    Yes.
[15:36] sensei
    You're quite skillful at trying
    to get that information out of me.
[15:39] sensei
    But no matter what you ask, and no
    matter what you might be planning...
[15:43] sensei
    No matter how corroded I may become...
[15:46] sensei
    You're just going to forget anyway.
[15:50] sensei
    I will not allow anyone to curse me.
[15:54] sensei
    No one.
[16:00] Erika's dad
    Sensei! What a pleasure it is to see you!
[16:04] Erika's dad
    I've just met with the client's secretary
    and received remuneration.
[16:07] Erika's dad
    You truly live up to your reputation.
[16:10] secretary
    Hiura-san, Sensei is tired.
[16:13] Erika's dad
    Oh, of course. I'm sorry.
[16:16] sensei
    Where is she?
[16:17] Erika's dad
    Huh? "She"?
[16:19] secretary
    Oh, yes. I heard quite a bit just now.
[16:23] secretary
    She is... Well... She's, um...
[16:28] secretary
    Huh?
[16:29] Erika's dad
    Oh, Sensei.
[16:31] Erika's dad
    I actually wanted to speak with you
    about something regarding my daughter.
[16:35] sensei
    Daughter?
[16:36] Erika's dad
    Yes. Erika also has powers,
    though they pale in comparison,
[16:40] Erika's dad
    but she's just so rebellious...
[16:45] secretary
    Hiura-san, Sensei is tired!
[16:48] Erika's dad
    She should think things through
    more thoroughly, like you do,
[16:52] Erika's dad
    but it seems she just
    isn't self-aware enough.
[16:54] Erika's dad
    As I've also received help from you,
    I was wondering how I should school Erika.
[16:59] sensei
    You are an empty space.
[17:02] Erika's dad
    Huh?
[17:04] sensei
    You are vacant and foolish.
[17:06] sensei
    Even more than I am.
[17:09] Erika's dad
    Pardon?
[17:10] sensei
    Why did you start a family
    when you can't love them?
[17:13] sensei
    I think that, too.
[17:15] sensei
    I hate her.
[17:16] Erika's dad
    I see...
[17:17] sensei
    No, that's a lie. I love her.
[17:19] sensei
    Even though she didn't
    keep her love just for me?
[17:22] sensei
    She's the bad one.
[17:24] sensei
    No, I just wanted her safe.
[17:27] sensei
    That's why I forgot.
[17:29] sensei
    Because I hate her more than anything.
[17:32] sensei
    No, that's wrong. It's the child.
[17:39] sensei
    It's the child!
[17:47] sensei
    Haven't you ever thought,
[17:50] sensei
    "I should have just killed the child"?
[18:05] ---
    Huh?
[18:06] sensei
    Hey, Hiura-kun?
[18:09] sensei
    Matsui-kun?
[18:11] sensei
    Did you leave?
[18:13] sensei
    Jeez, leaving without saying a word...
[18:18] sensei
    Man... I'm hungry.
[18:26] sensei
    That's strange.
[18:27] sensei
    Is it her? I-It smells like her!
[18:31] sensei
    Th-That's not possible!
[18:33] sensei
    I barred her!
[18:35] sensei
    So that I wouldn't ever remember her...
[18:38] sensei
    That's right. I banned her!
[18:40] sensei
    More than remembering and being
    sad... More than forgiving her...
[18:47] sensei
    Why?
[18:48] sensei
    Why? Why did you abandon me?
[18:51] sensei
    You should have loved me
    more than anyone, but you...
[18:55] sensei
    You didn't!
[18:56] sensei
    You abandoned me! You didn't choose me!
[19:00] sensei
    You... Damn it, what was her name?
[19:04] sensei
    If I ever remember it, I will curse her!
[19:07] sensei
    I will!
[19:14] Mikado's mom
    What's wrong?
[19:27] sensei
    I'm hungry.
[19:30] sensei
    Did Matsui-kun and Hiura-kun leave already?
[19:34] sensei
    Without saying a word to me...
[19:43] sensei
    Did someone get inside this house?
[19:53] Erika's mom
    Erika!
[19:56] Erika's mom
    Um... Do you know where your father is?
[19:58] Erika
    Huh? Of course I don't know. How could I?
[20:01] Erika's mom
    He hasn't been home for three days!
[20:03] Erika's mom
    I wondered if something happened...
[20:05] Erika
    What about it?
[20:07] Sakaki
    We haven't seen him. Could he
     be in his office at headquarters?
[20:13] Erika's mom
    Oh... Oh, right!
[20:15] Erika's mom
    Thank you.
[20:16] Erika
    Let's go already.
[20:17] Erika's mom
    Erika...
[20:29] Sakaki
    You could just listen to what she has to say.
[20:34] Erika
    No one asked you.
[20:35] Sakaki
    You're really planning on going?
[20:37] Erika
    Of course! If my father isn't here,
     then this is our chance!
[20:41] Sakaki
    That detective made it seem so easy to
    ask us for something so troublesome.
[20:45] Erika
    It wasn't easy.
[20:47] Erika
    Hanzawa-san said he understood
    that it was dangerous.
[20:50] Sakaki
    Still, telling us to go steal the research
    society's accounting books... Damn.
[20:54] Erika
    Whatever. Let's just go.
[20:57] Erika
    This is so we can run away.
SIGN    Teachings of the Hand Research Society
SIGN    Have you truly looked at yourself?
[21:15] Erika
    There's nothing that seems like it might be it.
[21:17] Sakaki
    There isn't. Which means... maybe the safe?
[21:21] Erika
    You can't open it with superhuman strength?
[21:22] Sakaki
    Not possible. You can't use
    spirit sense to open it?
[21:25] Erika
    Not possible.
[21:27] Erika
    What number is that?
[21:29] Sakaki
    Your birthday, Miss.
[21:31] Erika
    What?
[21:34] Erika's mom
    Erika.
[21:35] Erika
    Huh?
[21:36] Erika
    What? Why are you here?
[21:38] Erika's mom
    It's not what you think. You two are—
[21:41] Sakaki
    Quiet, please.
[21:42] Sakaki
    Are you alone?
[21:44] Erika's mom
    What? Y-Yes...
[21:46] Sakaki
    I am the young miss's bodyguard,
[21:48] Sakaki
    so I will force a way through if I have to.
[21:51] Sakaki
    But, Madam, you...
[21:55] sensei
    What's this?
[21:57] sensei
    What's the whole family doing here?
[22:00] sensei
    No, you aren't all here.
[22:04] sensei
    And it's because you aren't
    all here... that you've come.
