[00:28] Sahara
    Police!
[00:30] Sahara
    Behind Asakusa's Ryouunkaku
     at the Hananoya,
[00:33] Sahara
    there's a woman who goes by the name Otaki.
[00:35] Sahara
    You know her, don't you?
[00:37] Kyousuke
    O-Otaki-san...
[00:38] Sahara
    Do you know her, or not?!
[00:40] Kyousuke
    Oh!
[00:41] Kyousuke
    Yes. I know her.
[00:43] Sahara
    That Otaki was stabbed in the throat
    with a short sword and died.
[00:46] Kyousuke
    What?!
[00:47] Yamafuji
    No, no. We don't consider you
    a suspect as yet, Professor.
[00:52] Yamafuji
    But, there was a certain person
    with you at the time.
[00:55] Kyousuke
    Wh-What about him?
[00:58] Yamafuji
    Around eight—the time of the murder—
    he saw you in Otaki's room.
[01:03] Yamafuji
    That's what he said, at least.
[01:07] Kyousuke
    Ishikawa-kun said that?

    A Red-light District Woman
[02:47] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Well, this is a problem.
[02:48] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Starting this month,
    if I'm late with the rent,
[02:50] (Flashback) Takuboku
    I'll be thrown out immediately.
[02:52] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    You're saying that now, but Ishikawa-kun,
[02:55] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    last night you went out drinking and
     didn't come back until after midnight.
[02:58] (Flashback) Takuboku
    "The thoughts I have
[02:59] (Flashback) Takuboku
    all revolve around my lack of money
[03:02] (Flashback) Takuboku
    that seems to be the root
[03:04] (Flashback) Takuboku
    and an autumn wind blows."
[03:06] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Poems just don't make money, do they?
[03:08] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    If you abstained from frequenting brothels,
[03:10] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    your troubles would
     all be over, wouldn't they?
[03:14] (Flashback) Takuboku
    If you'll permit me to say, I'd rather
    not hear something like that
[03:17] (Flashback) Takuboku
    from someone who knows
    nothing of women, Kyousuke-san.
[03:24] (Flashback) Takuboku
    I have a feeling that you'll take
    your leave from this world
[03:28] (Flashback) Takuboku
    without ever knowing the joys of life...
[03:33] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Ishikawa-kun! What are you doing?
[03:35] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Hurry up!
[03:37] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    It isn't as though you're
    going to be gobbled up.
[03:39] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    There is absolutely no reason
    to feel hesitant!
[03:42] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Isn't that what I've been
    saying for a while now?
[03:48] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Let's not do this after all, Ishikawa-kun...
[03:52] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Just as I thought.
[03:53] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    There's no need to take that attitude.
[03:55] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    In any case, I'm a teacher. I shouldn't—
[03:57] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Kyousuke-san.
[03:58] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Using the "teacher" excuse every time
     things get inconvenient is cowardly.
[04:04] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    W-Wait, Ishikawa-kun...
[04:06] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Wait!
[04:08] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Look. It's starting to rain.
[04:10] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Huh?
[04:19] (Flashback) waitress
    Welcome.
[04:20] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Perfect. Let's have a meal here.
[04:23] (Flashback) Takuboku
    After all, when you're hungry...
[04:26] (Flashback) waitress
    Party of two!
[04:31] (Flashback) customer A
    But that Arakawa mines thing
    was incredible, wasn't it?
[04:34] (Flashback) customer B
    If it weren't for something like this,
[04:36] (Flashback) customer B
    those guys at the top
    who'd taken a lot of bribes
[04:38] (Flashback) customer B
    probably would've just killed the story.
[04:40] (Flashback) customer C
    The police are saying Oguri isn't
    the killer, but you never know.
[04:44] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Lately, it seems like that's all
    anyone's talking about.
[04:47] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Somehow, people have started
    treating the victim, Tatsukichi,
[04:49] (Flashback) Takuboku
    like some kind of hero
    who exposed evil doings.
[04:54] (Flashback) waitress
    Here you go.
[04:56] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Thanks.
[05:02] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Something wrong?
[05:03] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Ah, no.
[05:42] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Hello, Madam.
[05:43] (Flashback) Madam
    If it isn't Ishikawa-san.
[05:46] (Flashback) Madam
    Huh?
[05:47] (Flashback) Madam
    You...
[05:51] (Flashback) Madam
    Oh, please, come inside.
[05:55] (Flashback) O-En
    Oh! Is that Hajime-san?
[05:58] (Flashback) Takuboku
    It's been a while, hasn't it, Oen?
[06:01] (Flashback) O-En
    Oh. I see you've brought someone with you.
[06:05] (Flashback) O-En
    Could it be...
[06:08] (Flashback) O-En
    Otaki-chan! Come down here! Hurry up!
[06:19] (Flashback) O-En
    Otaki-chan, that gentleman
    over there. All right?
[06:23] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Well, enjoy yourself, Kyousuke-san.
[06:26] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Wha—Wait! Ishikawa-kun!
[06:30] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Pleased to make your acquaintance.
[06:35] (Flashback) O-Taki
    My, what a strange thing to say.
[06:40] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I'll have one of those, if you don't mind.
[06:52] (Flashback) O-Taki
    Here you go.
[06:54] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Sorry.
[06:58] (Flashback) O-Taki
    Oh...
[07:02] (Flashback) O-Taki
    Please go up to the room.
    I'll be back in a moment.
SIGN    Hananoya
[07:19] (Flashback) O-Taki
    I'm sorry.
[07:21] (Flashback) O-Taki
    I've kept you waiting.
[07:24] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Not at all!
[07:30] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Now, the players are all assembled.
[07:34] (Flashback) O-En
    Are you planning to
    listen in like that all night?
[07:38] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Just wait a little.
[07:40] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Today is Kyousuke-san's day in the sun.
[07:43] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Oh! It's starting...
[07:46] (Flashback) O-En
    How is it going?
[07:47] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Very nicely.
[07:49] (Flashback) O-En
    Ow!
[07:55] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    W-Wait!
[07:57] (Flashback) O-Taki
    Don't worry.
[08:00] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    How is it?
[08:01] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Pretty hard, right?
[08:06] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Kyousuke-san's pretty good at this.
[08:09] (Flashback) O-Taki
    Then... how about... here?
[08:15] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Wait...
[08:16] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Or maybe Otaki is the one
    I should be praising here...
[08:20] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    No! Stop!
[08:23] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Oh, dear... Honestly.
[08:28] (Flashback) O-En
    Hajime-san.
[08:32] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Sorry.
[08:33] (Flashback) Takuboku
    I'm just not in that sort of mood today.
[08:36] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Honestly...
[08:38] (Flashback) Takuboku
    If only he wouldn't hold
    himself back out of pride.
[08:45] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Huh?
[08:46] (Flashback) O-En
    Well, I can't hold myself back any more!
[08:48] (Flashback) Takuboku
    H-Hey!
[08:49] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Stop that! Wait!
[08:52] (Flashback) Takuboku
    I just told you—
[08:54] (Flashback) O-Taki
    That's enough!
[09:02] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    J-Just calm down...
[09:05] (Flashback) O-Taki
    It's horrible of you...
    treating me this way...
[09:08] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I-It isn't...
[09:10] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I didn't mean anything by it.
[09:12] (Flashback) O-Taki
    And it's because you're like that...
[09:15] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Otaki-san. That's going
    too far, don't you think?
[09:19] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Huh?
[09:23] (Flashback) Takuboku
    I wonder what happened.
[09:25] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I've heard enough!
[09:42] (Flashback) O-En
    I'm going to get some cigarettes.
    I'll be right back.
[10:16] (Flashback) O-En
    Is something wrong?
[10:19] (Flashback) Takuboku
    No, I just...
[10:20] (Flashback) Takuboku
    I went to take a peek just now, and
[10:23] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Kyousuke-san was sitting there all depressed.
[10:27] (Flashback) Takuboku
    I didn't see Otaki,
[10:30] (Flashback) Takuboku
    but maybe... she was sulking in her bed.
[10:33] (Flashback) O-En
    Well.
[10:34] (Flashback) O-En
    Come join me, won't you?
[10:51] (Flashback) Madam
    Police!
[10:52] (Flashback) Madam
    Someone call the police!
[10:53] (Flashback) O-En
    What's going on?
[11:01] Kyousuke
    Ishikawa-kun...
[11:03] Kyousuke
    What did he say?
[11:05] Yamafuji
    Around eight—the time of the murder—
    he saw you in Otaki's room.
[11:10] Yamafuji
    That's what he said, at least.
[11:12] Kyousuke
    Ishikawa-kun said that?
[11:14] Kyousuke
    I don't know anything. I—
[11:16] Sahara
    Don't play dumb with us!
[11:17] Yamafuji
    Now, now, Constable Sahara.
[11:20] Yamafuji
    Apologies for the late introduction.
[11:21] Yamafuji
    I'm Yamafuji from the Asakusa station.
[11:24] Yamafuji
    I'm sorry to say that the circumstances
    put you in a very unfavorable position.
[11:29] Yamafuji
    The madam says that you
    were the only guest there.
[11:33] Yamafuji
    Your jacket was found left at the scene.
[11:36] Yamafuji
    And, you were seen there around
    the time of the incident...
[11:42] Yamafuji
    as testified by Ishikawa-san.
[11:44] Kyousuke
    It's a lie!
[11:45] Kyousuke
    He would never say something like that!
[11:48] Yamafuji
    One more thing. This was left
    at the scene, as well...
[11:52] Yamafuji
    The contents are all written horizontally,
    so I can't read any of it.
[11:57] Yamafuji
    Oh, that's right.
[11:59] Yamafuji
    There were two copper coins tucked inside.
[12:01] Yamafuji
    This notebook...
[12:02] Yamafuji
    it wouldn't be yours, would it, Professor?
[12:06] Kyousuke
    A-Absolutely not.
[12:08] Kyousuke
    It isn't mine.
[12:14] Yamafuji
    I see.
[12:20] Takuboku
    I'll go get some more alcohol,
[12:21] Takuboku
    so you can go ahead and go up to my room.
[12:25] Yoshii
    All right!
[12:26] Nomura
    Bring as much as you can find!
[12:29] Takuboku
    Well, well. If it isn't Kyousuke-san!
[12:32] Takuboku
    Were you lonely without me?
[12:35] Kyousuke
    Ishikawa-kun, I need to talk with you.
[12:38] Takuboku
    Are you going to give me
    some alcohol for my hangover?
[12:41] Takuboku
    A good friend is indispensable—
[12:42] Kyousuke
    Just come in and sit down.
[12:46] Takuboku
    I'd be happy if you just
    lent me a bottle of sake.
[12:53] Kyousuke
    Late last night, the police came here.
[12:56] Kyousuke
    And you know why, don't you?
[12:59] Kyousuke
    How could you say
    something so irresponsible?
[13:03] Kyousuke
    Pull yourself together!
[13:04] Kyousuke
    You cause me so much trouble
    and now you take that attitude?!
[13:09] Takuboku
    When you're telling the truth,
    attitude has nothing to do with it.
[13:13] Kyousuke
    The truth?
[13:14] Kyousuke
    What truth are you talking about?
[13:16] Takuboku
    Kyousuke-san.
[13:17] Takuboku
    Around eight, when Otaki
    was killed, I saw everything.
[13:24] Takuboku
    There, in that room,
[13:26] Takuboku
    I saw you.
SIGN    Woodpecker
     Detective's
    Office
[13:32] Kyousuke
    D-Don't be stupid!
[13:35] Kyousuke
    I went into the room, and less
    than 30 minutes later, I left.
[13:39] Takuboku
    I heard the chimes of the wall
    clock as I went to the room.
[13:44] Takuboku
    You're so awkward with women.
[13:46] Takuboku
    How would you do with someone like Otaki?
[13:49] Takuboku
    I just couldn't help wondering.
[13:50] Kyousuke
    That wasn't me!
[13:52] Kyousuke
    There's some kind of mistake here!
[13:56] Takuboku
    Could the truth have gone
     something like... this?
[14:00] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    W-Wait!
[14:01] (Flashback) O-Taki
    Don't worry.
[14:06] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    How is it?
[14:08] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Pretty hard, right?
[14:09] (Flashback) O-Taki
    Then... how about... here?
[14:13] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    W-Wait... No! Stop!
[14:15] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Wait!
[14:20] (Flashback) O-Taki
    That's enough!
[14:23] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    J-Just calm down...
[14:24] (Flashback) O-Taki
    It's horrible of you...
    treating me this way...
[14:28] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I-It isn't...
[14:30] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I didn't mean anything by it.
[14:32] (Flashback) O-Taki
    And it's because you're like that...
[14:35] (Flashback) O-Taki
    because you're like that...
[14:38] (Flashback) O-Taki
    that you still know nothing of women.
[14:40] (Flashback) O-Taki
    Pathetic doesn't even begin to describe it.
[14:44] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Otaki-san, that's going
    too far, don't you think?
[14:49] (Flashback) O-Taki
    A useless lump who can't even
    make love to a single woman
[14:51] (Flashback) O-Taki
    shouldn't try to put on airs.
[14:53] (Flashback) O-Taki
    So what if you're a professor
    at an imperial university.
[14:56] (Flashback) O-Taki
    Everything's all laid out for you like this,
[14:59] (Flashback) O-Taki
    and you're running away,
    tail between your legs.
[15:03] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I've heard... enough.
[15:26] Kyousuke
    That's insane!
[15:27] Kyousuke
    You know that I'm not the type
    who would do something like—
[15:30] Takuboku
    Really?
[15:31] Takuboku
    You can't judge people on appearances.
[15:33] Kyousuke
    But...
[15:34] Kyousuke
    I... Otaki-san and I, we...
[15:37] Kyousuke
    we kissed... but that's all.
[15:40] Kyousuke
    I left right away.
[15:41] Takuboku
    You might be trying to defend yourself
    by saying all you did was kiss,
[15:46] Takuboku
    but for Otaki your behavior
    was probably humiliating!
[15:51] Takuboku
    Besides which, the madam said she
    had to leave the reception area
[15:54] Takuboku
    because of a personal matter.
[15:55] Kyousuke
    I just remembered, Ishikawa-kun!
[15:57] Kyousuke
    It was in the hallway on the second floor!
[16:00] Kyousuke
    A man in the same kind
    of clothes I was wearing...
[16:03] Kyousuke
    It was almost like he was trying to hide...
[16:05] Kyousuke
    That's it. That man.
[16:07] Kyousuke
    That's who you saw in Otaki-san's room!
[16:10] Kyousuke
    He must have gauged when
    I might leave and then killed her!
[16:13] Kyousuke
    What do you think?
    Everything makes sense, right?
[16:17] Takuboku
    My goodness.
    What a truly ridiculous fiction.
[16:21] Kyousuke
    What?
[16:22] Takuboku
    You see, Kyousuke-san...
[16:24] Takuboku
    the madam has testified that you
    and I were the only guests last night.
[16:33] Takuboku
    Confessing your crimes honestly is
    for the best in the long run.
[16:37] Kyousuke
    I must have known... but I wanted
     to believe it wasn't true...
[16:44] Kyousuke
    so I shoved it into the corner of my mind...
[16:48] Kyousuke
    because, for me, friendship was
    more important than anything...
[16:54] Kyousuke
    The one who killed Otaki-san...
[16:58] Kyousuke
    was you, wasn't it?
[16:59] Takuboku
    Me?
[17:01] Takuboku
    What motive could I possibly
    have for killing Otaki?
[17:04] Takuboku
    That is the most absurd thing I've heard.
[17:07] Kyousuke
    The notebook the inspector brought...
[17:10] Kyousuke
    it was your romaji diary.
[17:13] Kyousuke
    The events of the incident must
    have been something like this...
[17:23] (Flashback) O-Taki
    Um... Will you come to bed?
[17:27] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    No.
[17:30] (Flashback) O-Taki
    Am I not good enough?
[17:32] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    No! It isn't that!
[17:34] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Huh?
[17:37] (Flashback) O-Taki
    I was born in Hokkaido.
[17:40] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Really? I went there last year.
[17:43] (Flashback) O-Taki
    Yes. I've heard.
[17:45] (Flashback) O-Taki
    I heard that.
[17:48] (Flashback) O-Taki
    I've always...
[17:55] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    W-Wait!
[17:57] (Flashback) O-Taki
    Don't worry.
[18:01] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    How is it?
[18:02] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Pretty hard, right?
[18:03] (Flashback) O-Taki
    Then... how about here?
[18:09] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    W-Wait...
[18:10] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Ow...
[18:12] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I can really feel that!
[18:23] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    No! Stop!
[18:28] (Flashback) O-Taki
    I can hear it... the beat of your
    heart in your chest, Kindaichi-sama.
[18:36] (Flashback) O-Taki
    Kindaichi-sama...
[18:47] (Flashback) O-En
    Well, I can't hold myself back any more!
[18:51] (Flashback) O-Taki
    That's enough!
[18:54] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    J-Just calm down...
[19:13] (Flashback) O-Taki
    It's horrible of you...
    treating me this way...
[19:18] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I-It isn't...
[19:19] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I didn't mean anything by it.
[19:22] (Flashback) O-Taki
    And it's because you're like that...
[19:25] (Flashback) O-Taki
    You don't know anything about Ishikawa-san.
[19:30] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    No. I do know him.
[19:32] (Flashback) O-Taki
    No, you don't know anything.
[19:35] (Flashback) O-Taki
    You don't know what kind
    of person Ishikawa-san is—
[19:37] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Otaki-san, that's going
    too far, don't you think?
[19:42] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    He's a little bit different... a show-off,
[19:45] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    and all he does is go
    around borrowing money,
[19:48] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    but he is a genius poet!
[19:50] (Flashback) O-Taki
    You see?
[19:51] (Flashback) O-Taki
    You really don't know anything, do you?
[19:54] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I've heard enough!
[20:18] (Flashback) O-Taki
    Peeping is wrong.
[20:22] (Flashback) Takuboku
    How was Kyousuke-san?
[20:25] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Did he go home without
    doing anything? Pathetic.
[20:30] (Flashback) O-Taki
    He is a very kind man.
[20:33] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Yes, he is kind. Stupidly so.
[20:39] (Flashback) O-Taki
    That is no way to speak of a friend,
    is it, Mr. Genius Poet?
[20:44] (Flashback) Takuboku
    What's that?
[20:46] (Flashback) O-Taki
    Your name might be slightly
    known in the world of poetry,
[20:50] (Flashback) O-Taki
    but the truth is, you're simply
    presuming on your friend's affections,
[20:54] (Flashback) O-Taki
    nothing but a half-baked amateur.
[20:58] (Flashback) O-Taki
    Stay back.
[21:15] Kyousuke
    And that's how... you made
    your crime seem to be mine.
[21:24] Takuboku
    I don't know about that notebook.
[21:26] Takuboku
    By the time I'd gone up to
    Oen's room, I'd already lost it.
[21:31] Takuboku
    The truth is the truth. It cannot be ignored.
[21:34] Takuboku
    In the same way, the sight
    of you in your jacket—
[21:38] Yamafuji
    Kindaichi-san, we have
    a warrant for your arrest.
[21:41] Yamafuji
    If you'll come with us to the station.
[21:45] Sahara
    Hurry up!
[21:46] Kyousuke
    But I'm—
[21:48] Sahara
    Come on! Walk!
[22:03] Nomura
    Stop right there!
[22:06] Sakutarou
    We heard everything.
[22:10] Yoshii
    The real culprit in this crime...
[22:15] Nomura
    We'll find him for you!
[23:37] Sakutarou
    Things have turned out very badly
    for Kindaichi-kun, haven't they?
[23:39] Nomura
    We'll just have to find the real
    murderer and save him!
[23:42] Yoshii
    Indeed.
SIGN    Next Time: "Casual Remarks"
[23:43] Yoshii
    If Ishikawa-kun can be a detective,
    then there is no reason I can't be one.
