[00:09] Older Kyousuke
    It's been ten years since
    my best friend died.
[00:13] Older Kyousuke
    My dashing friend.
[00:15] Older Kyousuke
    My lying, mischievous friend.
[00:18] Older Kyousuke
    My quick-to-cry, steadfast in
    fellowship, self-satisfied friend.
[00:31] Older Kyousuke
    A chatterbox and a show-off...
[00:33] Older Kyousuke
    he drank and loved women...
[00:35] Older Kyousuke
    A romantic sadist...
[00:37] Older Kyousuke
    A poet who could see farther than anyone... and...
[00:42] Older Kyousuke
    a genius of tanka poetry. My friend.
[00:45] Older Kyousuke
    Even now, shades of him
    as he was linger in my heart.
[00:51] Takuboku
    Kyousuke-san?
[00:53] Kyousuke
    Yes?
[00:55] Takuboku
    It's me.
[00:59] Kyousuke
    What's wrong?
[01:00] Takuboku
    It's just... I ran out of cigarettes.
[01:03] Kyousuke
    Oh. I've got some extra.
[01:05] Takuboku
    That's a relief.
[01:07] Takuboku
    Sorry I keep bothering you like this...
SIGN    Ten Odd Years Ago
[01:10] Kyousuke
    Right. Here you go.
[01:11] Takuboku
    Wait, I can just take two or three...
[01:14] Kyousuke
    Don't worry about it.
[01:15] Kyousuke
    I was thinking of quitting, anyway.
[01:18] Kyousuke
    Here. You can take these, too.
[01:22] Kyousuke
    Have you gotten used to things here?
[01:24] Kyousuke
    It's a lot different than Kushiro, isn't it?
[01:27] Takuboku
    This is the third time I've come
    to Tokyo and I'm still a mess.
[01:30] Takuboku
    I'm truly ashamed.
[01:32] Kyousuke
    Please, stop treating me
    like I'm a stranger.
[01:34] Kyousuke
    We're friends from the same
    hometown, aren't we?
[01:43] Takuboku
    Isn't this Heine's Buch Der Lieder?
[01:47] Takuboku
    It must have been really expensive.
[01:50] Kyousuke
    I know I should give it up, but...
[01:52] Kyousuke
    I still don't want to leave
    the world of literature.
[01:56] Kyousuke
    Still... It isn't as though
    I have any talent of my own.
[01:59] Kyousuke
    I'll probably continue on as a teacher
    and earn a living that way.
[02:04] Kyousuke
    In exchange, Ishikawa-kun,
    you have true, undeniable talent,
[02:09] Kyousuke
    and, if you don't mind, I hope
    you'll allow me to cheer you on.
[02:21] Takuboku
    "If there were a pleasant occupation
[02:22] Takuboku
    I could work at wholeheartedly, then
[02:26] Takuboku
    when it was finished, I could happily die."
[02:31] Takuboku
    Thank you, Kyousuke-san.

[04:11] Kyousuke
    Yes. Tonight has been really fun, hasn't it?
[04:14] Takuboku
    Should we walk off some of this alcohol
    by going up to the 12th floor?

    I'm sure that even now,

[04:42] Takuboku
    are inside getting along very nicely.
[04:44] Kyousuke
    Right...
[04:45] Takuboku
    Look.
[04:46] Takuboku
    This one seems like a good one, doesn't it?
[04:49] Takuboku
    What do you think?
[04:50] Kyousuke
    Wha—Stop that!
[04:51] Takuboku
    Whoops!
[04:54] Takuboku
    Honestly.
[04:56] Takuboku
    It's been 40 years since Westernization.
[04:58] Takuboku
    We're supposed to be a first-class
    power, and he's... Huh?
[05:04] Kyousuke
    Is something wrong?
[05:05] Kyousuke

    I-I'm not going in there, understand?

    Excuse me...
[05:12] Takuboku
    I just left something behind.
[05:14] Kyousuke
    Ishikawa-kun!
[05:17] Kyousuke
    Um... Ishikawa-kun?
[05:21] Kyousuke
    What are you... Oh...
[05:29] man
    You got a problem or somethin'?
[05:32] Kyousuke
    Will you stop this already?
[05:37] Kyousuke
    Huh?
[05:51] woman
    Yes. He just burst in...
[05:54] Ooyama
    Are you acquainted with the murdered man?
[05:56] Kyousuke
    Not at all! We just
    happened to be passing...
[05:59] Ooyama
    Don't lie.
[06:00] Ooyama
    We have many witnesses stating they saw
    you going around peeking into all the rooms.
[06:06] Ooyama
    You had a reason you were looking
    for this man. Isn't that so?
[06:09] Ooyama
    Perhaps you were blinded
    by jealousy, for example?
[06:11] Kyousuke
    W-Wait, just a moment, please.
[06:13] Kyousuke
    You're talking like we're suspects...
[06:15] Takuboku
    Now, now, Kyousuke-san.
[06:17] Takuboku
    It's standard practice in an investigation
    to doubt the people they encounter.
[06:21] Takuboku
    I'm a poet, Ishikawa Takuboku.
    Pleased to make your acquaintance.
[06:27] Takuboku
    As you can see, on the tatami near the body,
[06:29] Takuboku
    there are traces of blood being
    dragged across the surface.
[06:32] Takuboku
    They were probably left when the murderer
    tried to wipe blood off their hands.
[06:36] Takuboku
    Meaning that the murderer's hands
    were covered in a lot of blood.
[06:40] Takuboku
    Now, look at this.
[06:41] Takuboku
    Even if I'd wiped the blood
    off the palms of my hands,
[06:44] Takuboku
    blood under my fingernails wouldn't
    have been wiped away so easily.
[06:48] Takuboku
    And, if I could just say...
[06:49] Takuboku
    The letter that was on the desk was
    probably taken after the man was stabbed.
[06:55] Kyousuke
    Letter?
[06:56] Takuboku
    See? Just this one spot.
[06:57] Takuboku
    There's no blood spray here. Right?
[06:59] Kyousuke
    That's incredible, Ishikawa-kun!
[07:02] Ooyama
    That's enough. You're interfering
    with my investigation.
[07:04] Ooyama
    Get out.
[07:06] Kyousuke
    Wow...
[07:08] Kyousuke
    Ishikawa-kun, the way you played
    the genius detective back there was amazing.
[07:11] Takuboku
    It was nothing.
[07:13] Takuboku
    And unless I become a police detective or
     something, it won't make me any money.
[07:16] Kyousuke
    No, really.
[07:17] Kyousuke
    Recently, a man named Iwai
    Saburou opened a detective agency.
[07:21] Kyousuke
    It seems he's doing very well for himself.
[07:24] Takuboku
    Really? Is that so...
[07:26] Takuboku
    A detective, huh?
[07:34] Takuboku
    Now that I think about it...
[07:36] Takuboku
    detectives and poets
    might have a lot in common.
[07:42] Kayo
    Ishikawa-san! I'm coming in!
[07:45] Kayo
    Come on, now. Hurry up
    and put your bedding away.
[07:49] Takuboku
    What are you in such a hurry for?
[07:51] Kayo
    How many times do I have to tell you?
[07:53] Kayo
    I always go help with the emergency soup
    kitchen at the church on the weekends!
[07:57] Kayo
    Take the tray back yourself, all right?
[07:59] Kyousuke
    Whoops!
[08:01] Kyousuke
    She seemed to be in quite a rush.
[08:03] Takuboku
    Something about distributing
    emergency soup...
[08:06] Kyousuke
    Ah.
[08:07] Kyousuke
    There's a church in Koishikawa where
    they're distributing food to the poor.
[08:12] Kyousuke
    It seems Kayo-chan is helping them there.
[08:15] Takuboku
    Really...
[08:17] Takuboku
    Well, what an admirable endeavor
    from someone so small.
[08:21] Kyousuke
    Oh! Here it is!
[08:23] Kyousuke
    Take a look at this!
SIGN    Suspect: Oguri
[08:25] Takuboku
    Hey, that's the guy I ran into.
[08:28] Kyousuke
    It seems he's the head clerk
    of the Arakawa Mines,
[08:31] Kyousuke
    a man named Oguri Takatoshi.
[08:33] Takuboku
    Arakawa? You mean that huge conglomerate?
[08:36] Kyousuke
    Yes.
[08:37] Kyousuke
    The man killed worked at Oguri's
    house, Hoshino Tatsukichi.
[08:41] Kyousuke
    For the last six months or so, Oguri had
    been putting pressure on Tatsukichi, but
[08:45] Kyousuke
    unable to endure any more,
    Tatsukichi refused him.
[08:47] Kyousuke
    This caused Oguri to fly
    into a rage and kill him.
[08:49] Kyousuke
    That's what they say happened.
[08:51] Takuboku
    Really...
[08:52] Takuboku
    Speaking of which,
    did they find that letter?
[08:55] Kyousuke
    About that! You're really
    amazing, Ishikawa-kun!
[08:58] Kyousuke
    They said they found it in Oguri's garden
[09:00] Kyousuke
    along with the kitchen
    knife used as the weapon!
[09:02] Kyousuke
    Though, apparently, Oguri keeps insisting
    he knows nothing about any of it.

    It seems that those who set
    their sights on literary goals
[09:10] Takuboku
    shouldn't simply sit on their
    laurels and put on airs.
[09:13] Takuboku
    They need to have a noble spirit,
    and at the same time
[09:15] Takuboku
    they need to understand
    the desires of the flesh
[09:17] Takuboku
    or they won't be able to
    create real literature.
[09:20] Yoshii
    Hmm... You think so?
[09:22] Takuboku
    Just leave it to me.
[09:24] Takuboku
    If it's for my friend Yoshii Isamu,
[09:26] Takuboku
    I wouldn't mind putting myself
    through a bit or two of trouble.
[09:29] Nomura
    Speaking of which...
[09:31] Nomura
    I heard you happened to be at the scene
    of that murder in the teahouse.
[09:34] Takuboku
    That's right.
[09:35] Nomura
    In the accusatory letter
    the victim, Tatsukichi, left,
[09:38] Nomura
    they say he wrote that the Arakawa
    mines are leaking poisons.
[09:43] Takuboku
    Accusatory letter?
[09:44] Takuboku
    You mean the letter they found
    with the murder weapon?
[09:47] Nomura
    Yes.
[09:49] Nomura
    From what I understand, it could have been
[09:51] Nomura
    that a relative of Tatsukichi's
    was a victim of the poison.
[09:53] Yoshii
    Still, with it being this big a story,
[09:56] Yoshii
    even those high-ranking officials
    who have been bribed
[09:59] Yoshii
    won't be able to turn a blind eye to it.
[10:03] Takuboku
    So, Tatsukichi wasn't murdered because he
    wanted to sever his relationship with Oguri...
[10:08] Takuboku
    it was to stop him from talking?
[10:11] Nomura
    Well, I don't know about that,
[10:13] Nomura
    but on the letter, almost
    like he wanted to curse Oguri,
[10:17] Nomura
    there was a skull-like shape
    in thick, dark blood—

[10:59] Ooyama
    Hey! Tell me where we've met!
[11:00] Takuboku

    And who are you?
[11:06] Takuboku
    I apologize for requesting your presence
     here when you must be very busy.

    Using the military... I don't
    need this kind of interference!
[11:18] Takuboku
    To be frank,
[11:19] Takuboku
    it seems that the suspect,
    Oguri Takatoshi, has been framed.
[11:23] Ooyama
    Huh?
[11:25] Ooyama
    Don't be stupid! Oguri is the culprit!

    I-I apologize for my rudeness.
[12:06] Ooyama
    I am Ooyama from the Asakusa police station.
[12:10] Kyousuke
    Wh-Why is someone like him with you?
[12:12] Takuboku
    He's a colleague from tanka poetry circles.
[12:14] Ogai
    Well, I'm just being used,

    so I do hope you'll stay to watch.

    I won't take much of your time.

    was stained with blood in a skull-like

[13:09] Ooyama
    Calling it a skull or whatever is just an
    inflammatory phrase used by the local papers.
[13:13] Kyousuke
    Well...
[13:14] Kyousuke
    A-According to Ishikawa-kun...
[13:16] Kyousuke

[13:40] Ooyama
    the letter we found was definitely
    in Tatsukichi's handwriting.
[13:44] Ooyama
    And, most importantly,
[13:45] Ooyama
    the knife found alongside it matched
     the shape of Tatsukichi's wounds.
[13:50] Ooyama
    How do you explain that?
[13:52] Takuboku
    It's quite simple.
[13:54] Takuboku
    Tatsukichi's real murderer took the knife
    that was the murder weapon
[13:59] Takuboku
    and a letter Tatsukichi had been
    forced to write in advance,
[14:02] Takuboku
    stained them both with blood,
    and tossed them in the garden here.
[14:05] Ooyama
    Who would do that? And to what purpose?
[14:08] Takuboku
    In order to make it seem like
    Oguri had murdered Tatsukichi.
[14:12] Ogai
    Wait.
[14:14] Ogai
    In that case, what happened
    to the real letter of accusation?
[14:17] Ogai
    Who did got rid of it, and where?
[14:19] Takuboku
    Most likely, Oguri took it
    and disposed of it.
[14:23] Ooyama
    This is ridiculous.
    It's all just your wild imaginings!
[14:26] Takuboku
    You there. Where is Oguri's study?
[14:37] Takuboku
    Try to imagine it.
[14:39] Takuboku
    Beside the body of a man
    you had motive to kill
[14:42] Takuboku
    lies an accusatory letter.
[14:44] Takuboku
    What would you do, Kyousuke-san?
[14:46] Kyousuke
    Well... If it were me...
[14:49] Takuboku
    If it were you, Kyousuke-san?
[14:51] Kyousuke
    If something like that existed,
    I would fall under suspicion, so...
[14:55] Kyousuke
    I'd hide it and take it with me...
[14:58] Kyousuke
    and then I might burn it
    so no one would find out.
[15:06] Takuboku
    Crackle, crackle, crackle...
[15:08] Takuboku
    Ouch, that's hot...
[15:22] Takuboku
    Now then, all those gathered here,
[15:24] Takuboku
    the real letter of accusation is...
[15:34] Takuboku
    You see? It's right here.
[15:41] Takuboku
    Which means that the existence
    of a person who would go to the trouble
[15:44] Takuboku
    of making a fake letter
    to frame Oguri for murder
[15:47] Takuboku
    has been proven.
[15:57] Kyousuke
    Still...
[15:58] Kyousuke
    it's amazing that you knew
    the burnt letter would be there.
[16:02] Takuboku
    It wasn't.
[16:04] Kyousuke
    What?
[16:05] Takuboku
    A man working as the head clerk
    for a big company like that
[16:08] Takuboku
    would never be so inept.
[16:10] Takuboku
    He'd go somewhere it would never be found
[16:14] Takuboku
    and dispose of it there, of course.
[16:16] Kyousuke
    What? But...
[16:22] Takuboku
    I pretended to use the restroom, burned
    some random paper, and left it there.
[16:29] Takuboku
    Luckily, the Yorozu Chouhou paper had
    details about the way the letter looked.
[16:35] Takuboku
    These ended up being pretty useful, thanks.
[16:41] Takuboku
    The fact that Oguri is innocent
[16:43] Takuboku
    should be clear from the fact that
    the letter found in the garden was a fake.
[16:49] Takuboku
    It's just that
[16:49] Takuboku
    I thought that stubborn inspector wouldn't
    be convinced without some evidence.
[16:54] Kyousuke
    Honestly. You're just so...
[16:58] Kyousuke
    But in that case,
[17:00] Kyousuke
    who is the real killer,
    and why did they kill Tatsukichi?
[17:05] Takuboku
    The real killer...
[17:08] Takuboku
    might be someone like me.
[17:10] Kyousuke
    What?
[17:14] Takuboku
    Aren't you getting hungry?
[17:16] Kyousuke
    What?
[17:17] Kyousuke
    Uh, no, I don't think
    I'm particularly hungry...

    I see.

[17:37] Takuboku
    I long for its voices,
    and at the train station
[17:39] Takuboku
    amidst the crowds of people
[17:41] Takuboku
    I go to listen."
[17:47] Kyousuke
    Ishikawa-kun...
[17:49] Kyousuke
    People like you... are usually
    known as geniuses, right?
[17:53] Takuboku
    Not at all. I didn't compose that poem.
[17:56] Kyousuke
    What?
[17:57] Takuboku
    My friendship with you
    allowed me to read it.
[18:04] Takuboku
    Huh? Is something wrong?
[18:08] Kyousuke
    Let's go.
[18:09] Takuboku
    Huh?
[18:10] Kyousuke
    Let's go eat something to give us
    some stamina before we go home!
[18:13] Takuboku
    I see. Well, if you say so, Kyousuke-san...
[18:17] Takuboku
    They say there's a new place
    with delicious beef nabe in Kodenmacho.
[18:20] Takuboku
    Let's try going there!
[18:26] Kyousuke
    Good morning, Ishikawa-kun!
[18:28] Takuboku
    Come in!
[18:31] Kyousuke
    The weather seems nice.
    Shall we go for a walk or...
[18:34] Kyousuke
    This is...
[18:36] Kyousuke
    What are you doing?
[18:38] Takuboku
    Well, I let my rent get overdue, you see...
[18:42] Kyousuke
    What?
[18:43] Kyousuke
    But what about the money
    I gave you the other day?
[18:46] Takuboku
    I'm embarrassed to say I used it
    to repay a friend, so...
[18:50] Takuboku
    This is entirely due to
    my own lack of moral fiber.
[18:53] Kyousuke
    N-No, but still, there's
    no reason for you to leave!
[18:56] Kayo
    I do feel sorry for him,
    but I was told quite firmly, so...
[19:03] Takuboku
    I can't allow myself to cause any
    more trouble for you, Kyousuke-san.
[19:08] Takuboku
    I wasn't here for very long,
    but thank you for everything you did.
[19:19] Kyousuke
    Just... please, wait here a moment!
[19:25] Kayo
    Honestly.
[19:26] Kayo
    How can you eat at a time like this?
[19:29] Takuboku
    A man who loses his composure over a trifle
    like this should be ashamed of himself.
[19:32] Takuboku
    The lightly pickled cucumbers
    and potato miso soup you made
[19:36] Takuboku
    really are superb.
[19:38] Kayo
    That may be so, but I'm still
    charging you for them.
[19:41] Kyousuke
    Oh, thank goodness.
[19:43] Kyousuke
    You're still here.
[19:47] Kyousuke
    Huh?
[19:48] Takuboku
    It's a "not a last supper,
    but a last breakfast" sort of thing.
[19:56] Kyousuke
    Please, use this.
[19:58] Kyousuke
    There's about 40 yen.
[20:00] Kayo
    My, my.
[20:01] Kyousuke
    No, it's just, I remembered
    I had some money stashed away.
[20:28] Kyousuke
    Well...
[20:30] Kyousuke
    This seemed like the perfect
    chance to let go of my regrets
[20:33] Kyousuke
    and dive into scholarship.
[20:36] Takuboku
    Kyousuke-san...
[20:41] Takuboku
    Even if I die...
[20:46] Takuboku
    I will never let anything bad happen to you.
[20:54] Takuboku
    Now that I think about it, detectives
    and poets might have a lot in common.
[21:05] Takuboku
    "Thick clouds rise
[21:06] Takuboku
    Clouds rise forming fences
    within fences, encircling my wife
[21:09] Takuboku
    Forming fences within fences
[21:11] Takuboku
    Ah, those innumerable fences..."
[21:13] Takuboku
    Thus, since ancient times when the god
    Susano'o no Mikoto composed a poem,
[21:17] Takuboku
    poets have worked every day
    to sharpen their sensibilities,
[21:20] Takuboku
    trying to catch the slightest of changes,
[21:23] Takuboku
    and turn them into poems.
[21:26] Takuboku
    It begins with the beauties of nature,
[21:28] Takuboku
    and carries through to changes in
    people's clothes and mannerisms...
[21:31] Takuboku
    even changes in their expressions...
[21:33] Takuboku
    Amidst the trivial things
    people pay no attention to
[21:36] Takuboku
    poets have discovered stories
    and brought them to light.
[21:41] Kayo
    Hey! What are you doing?
[21:44] Takuboku
    I can't keep depending
    on Kyousuke-san's money forever.
[21:49] Kayo
    Honestly.
[21:56] Kyousuke
    Ishikawa-kun, is that...
[21:58] Takuboku
    If someone who composes
    and reads poems is a poet,
[22:01] Takuboku
    then what a detective reads
    is a crime scene.
[22:03] Takuboku
    Shall we just say that, Kyousuke-san?
[22:10] Older Kyousuke
    "Quite the stylish name, isn't it?
SIGN    Woodpecker Detective's Office
[22:13] Older Kyousuke
    'Woodpecker Detective's Office'."
[23:37] Takuboku
    Nothing beats a glass of milk
    after a job well done, am I right?
[23:40] Takuboku
    By the way, Kyousuke-san...
[23:42] Takuboku
    There's a wonderful girl at Hananoya in Asakusa.
    Won't you come with me next time?
SIGN    Next Time: "A Red-light District Woman"
[23:44] Kyousuke
    I-I'm fine, thank you!
