[00:01] Nomura
    Now, then...
[00:05] Yoshii
    Kindaichi-kun ended up
    getting arrested, didn't he?
[00:10] Takuboku
    At this point, putting our heads together
    isn't going to accomplish anything.
[00:15] Takuboku
    I suppose today,
    I'll just go home and sleep.
[00:17] Nomura
    We can't have that.
[00:18] Nomura
    Kindaichi is our friend.
[00:21] Nomura
    "Just leaving him there" is not an option.
[00:24] Yoshii
    Even so, we still don't know who
     really killed that woman, Otaki...
[00:29] Sakutarou
    Um... Would it be all right if I...
[00:31] Nomura
    Oh... You offering an opinion
    yourself is pretty rare, Hagiwara.
[00:35] Sakutarou
    From what I understand,
[00:37] Sakutarou
    the culprit isn't Ishikawa-san
    and it isn't Kindaichi-san, either.
[00:41] Sakutarou
    It's...
[00:44] Sakutarou
    the proprietress of Hananoya's
[00:48] Sakutarou
    cat, Kuro!

[02:20] Nomura
    What do you mean, the cat's the culprit?
[02:23] Sakutarou
    First, if you'll allow me to review.
[02:27] Sakutarou
    According to Ishikawa-san's logic,
[02:29] Sakutarou
    Otaki's offensive remarks caused
    Kindaichi-san to fly into a rage,
[02:32] Sakutarou
    and kill her.
[02:35] Sakutarou
    On the other hand, the late—
[02:37] Sakutarou
    my apologies, the recently imprisoned
    Kindaichi-san's logic says that
[02:41] Sakutarou
    when Ishikawa-san was caught peeping
    and she sneered at him,
[02:45] Sakutarou
    he killed her.
[02:47] Ishikawa
    Which means,
[02:49] Ishikawa
    we need to figure out how
    to expose Kyousuke-san's lie.
[02:52] Sakutarou
    It's true... Kindaichi-san's logic
    does seem somewhat forced.
[02:57] Sakutarou
    However... it's also true that he isn't the type
    of person who would lie if he had a choice.
[03:01] Nomura
    Can't argue that.
[03:02] Yoshii
    At the very least, he's more honest
    than Ishikawa-kun is—
[03:07] Sakutarou
    If Kindaichi-san is lying, then...
[03:11] Sakutarou
    could it be because telling the truth
    would be too embarrassing?
SIGN    Hananoya
[03:16] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    It's all right.
[03:17] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I'll find a way to get you out of here.
[03:20] (Flashback) Otaki
    It's because you're like that...
[03:22] (Flashback) Otaki
    Thinking you can do the impossible...
[03:24] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Otaki-san...
[03:26] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    That's going too far, don't you think?
[03:29] (Flashback) Otaki
    It's just...
[03:30] (Flashback) Otaki
    All that's left for me is to stay here,
    as I am, sleeping with men I don't love...
[03:34] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I've heard enough!
[03:39] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I will find a way for us to be together!
[03:45] Sakutarou
    But the tremendous sum necessary to pay
    for the release of a prostitute...
[03:48] Sakutarou
    It would be impossible for a mere teacher
    like Kyousuke-san to prepare that.
[03:52] Sakutarou
    Having fallen in love with Kindaichi-san,
[03:54] Sakutarou
    she couldn't stand the thought
    of other men making love to her.
[03:58] Sakutarou
    She decided she would join
    the Buddhist ministry.
[04:09] Sakutarou
    Which means that Otaki-san's death
[04:12] Sakutarou
    is a tragedy born of the fact
    that the two of them made love.
[04:17] Takuboku
    Just the kind of logic I'd expect from
    someone as naive as you, Hagiwara-san.
[04:22] Sakutarou
    What do you mean?
[04:24] Takuboku
    Kyousuke-san could never even conceive
    of the idea of buying her freedom.
[04:28] Takuboku
    Why? Because...
[04:32] Takuboku
    He's a die-hard virgin. That's why.
[04:39] Sakutarou
    Well... I don't think his status as a virgin
    means he wouldn't think of—
[04:42] Yoshii
    No.
[04:43] Yoshii
    Regardless of how I feel
    for him as a friend,
[04:44] Yoshii
    it's difficult for me to imagine Kindaichi-kun
    being adept when it comes to women.
[04:49] Sakutarou
    If you say so, Yoshii-kun,
    then... it might be true, but...
[04:58] Nomura
    On top of all this, I don't get
     why Kindaichi and Ishikawa
[05:00] Nomura
    are pushing the blame on each other.
[05:03] Yoshii
    True. The two of them get along
    almost too well, after all...
[05:10] Nomura
    But if you think about it
    this way, it makes sense.
[05:14] Nomura
    The two of you are both the murderers
    and not the murderers.
[05:18] Nomura
    In other words, accomplices, right?
[05:21] Takuboku
    What's that supposed to mean?
[05:23] Nomura
    Wasn't the truth something like this?
[05:27] (Flashback) Otaki
    That's enough!
[05:28] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    J-Just calm down...
[05:31] (Flashback) Otaki
    It's horrible of you...
    treating me this way...
[05:34] (Flashback) Otaki
    It's unforgivable!
[05:35] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I-It isn't...
[05:36] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I didn't mean anything by it.
[05:38] (Flashback) Otaki
    And it's because you're like that...
[05:40] (Flashback) Otaki
    You're planning to ravish me, aren't you?
[05:42] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Otaki-san. That's going
    too far, don't you think?
[05:46] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    This place is a brothel, after all.
[05:48] (Flashback) Otaki
    Just because it's a brothel doesn't
    mean you can force yourself on me!
[05:52] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I've heard enough!
[05:56] (Flashback) Otaki
    How does 40 yen sound for now?
[05:59] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    What?
[06:00] (Flashback) Otaki
    With all due respect, if I lodged
     a complaint with the police,
[06:03] (Flashback) Otaki
    that would put you in
     a tough spot, wouldn't it?
[06:06] (Flashback) Otaki
    You have your position
    as a teacher to consider, after all.
[06:09] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    You wouldn't...
[06:11] (Flashback) Takuboku
    I've heard everything!
[06:13] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Ishikawa-kun!
[06:14] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Taking advantage of the fact that Kyousuke-san
    is an inexperienced virgin to blackmail him...
[06:19] (Flashback) Takuboku
    I'll take this to the madam—
[06:21] (Flashback) Takuboku
    no, I'll tell the police!
[06:24] (Flashback) Otaki
    Please, forgive me.
[06:25] (Flashback) Otaki
    I don't want to die yet.
[06:27] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    What?
[06:30] (Flashback) Otaki
    I have consumption.
[06:32] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Now that I think about it...
    You have been coughing...
[06:35] (Flashback) Otaki
    I desperately needed money for medicine.
[06:40] (Flashback) Otaki
    Please...
[06:44] (Flashback) Takuboku
    No.
[06:45] (Flashback) Takuboku
    We cannot allow ourselves
    to be swayed by these lies.
[06:48] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Now, come along quickly.
[07:07] Nomura
    In short,
[07:08] Nomura
    to conceal the fact that
    you're working together,
[07:12] Nomura
    you're only pretending to fight, as a ruse!
[07:14] Yoshii
    You're right...
[07:15] Yoshii
    I did think it was strange for
    Ishikawa-kun to give testimony
[07:18] Yoshii
    that put Kindaichi-kun in a bad light.
[07:19] Yoshii
    There's no reason to entrap him.
[07:21] Sakutarou
    And...
[07:22] Sakutarou
    for Kindaichi-san, who would gladly give
    his life 3 or 4 times for Ishikawa-san,
[07:28] Sakutarou
    to do something that would hurt
    Ishikawa-san is also strange.
[07:31] Takuboku
    This is ridiculous.
[07:33] Takuboku
    When I wrote in one of my novels
[07:34] Takuboku
    that Kyousuke-san put hair
    restorer on his upper lip, he...
[07:39] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    How could you?!
[07:41] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    You promised me you'd never
    say anything about that!
[07:43] (Flashback) Takuboku
    C-Can't breathe...
[07:47] Souseki
    Can I have a moment?
[07:49] Nomura
    Professor Natsume!
[07:51] Souseki
    We were sitting in the back, you see,
    and couldn't help overhearing.
[07:57] Souseki
    And... it seems he has something he'd like to say.
[08:00] Souseki
    Come on.
[08:06] Akutagawa
    Pleased to meet you.
[08:08] Akutagawa
    My name is Akutagawa Ryuunosuke.
[08:10] Nomura
    Oh! You're the one who wrote
    And I Am a Dog, right?
[08:15] Nomura
    So, what are your thoughts on this?
[08:19] Akutagawa
    Let's say that Professor Kindaichi
    left the room long before the murder.
[08:23] Akutagawa
    And let's say that Ishikawa-sensei saw
    Professor Kindaichi at the time of the murder,
[08:28] Akutagawa
    and that the proprietress rightly
    said there were no other guests...
[08:32] Akutagawa
    I believe that everything the three
    of them said could be entirely truthful.
[08:37] Sakutarou
    What... would that mean?
[08:40] Akutagawa
    In other words, that
    there is no singular truth,
[08:43] Akutagawa
    that truth is, after all, unknowable.
[08:47] Nomura
    So... What are you trying to say?
[08:52] Akutagawa
    That everything is "in a grove."
[08:58] Yoshii
    So, in the end, you're saying that
    you don't know what happened?
[09:02] Akutagawa
    No.
[09:03] Akutagawa
    The truth of a life can
    only be found in a grove.
[09:06] Akutagawa
    That is what I have realized.
[09:09] Nomura
    We're getting nowhere!
[09:11] Hirai
    If I might interrupt, as well...
[09:14] Takuboku
    And who are you?
[09:17] Hirai
    I'm honored to make your acquaintance.
[09:20] Hirai
    My name is Hirai Tarou.

[09:29] Hirai
    I heard everything you've said...
[09:31] Hirai
    Oh! But, I wasn't eavesdropping.
[09:34] Hirai
    It was more, I happened to overhear.
[09:37] Nomura
    What is this? One after another...
[09:40] Hirai
    The thing is, an acquaintance
    of mine is lodging
[09:43] Hirai
    in the room next to Professor Kindaichi's.
[09:45] Hirai
    I'm imposing, at the moment,
    by staying there without paying.
[09:48] Yoshii
    You seem young. What about school?
[09:51] Hirai
    I thought I'd try writing a novel,
    so I'm taking a little break.
[09:55] Takuboku
    So? What is it you want to say?
[09:58] Hirai
    To tell the truth, I've been following
    both of you since yesterday evening.
[10:08] Hirai
    Everything started during
     the events of two nights ago.
[10:15] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Oh, that's right. Did you finish your novel?
[10:18] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Yes, thanks to you.
[10:20] (Flashback) Takuboku
    I should be receiving payment
    for the manuscript soon,
[10:22] (Flashback) Takuboku
    so I think I'll be able to repay
    all the money you lent me.
[10:26] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Oh, you don't need to worry about that.
[10:28] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I'm just happy I can be of some help to you.
[10:32] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Were you able to write
    that ending you were stuck on?
[10:36] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Well, whether it was a fitting...
[10:42] (Flashback) Takuboku
    I really do have a good friend in you.
[10:44] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    What are you talking about?
    After all this time...
[10:46] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Once it's published, I hope you'll
    let me be the first to read it.
[10:49] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Of course.
[10:50] (Flashback) Takuboku
    I want you to read it before anyone...
[10:59] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I see.
[11:00] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Well, I can't wait.
[11:05] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Oh, that's right. I used that story.
[11:10] (Flashback) Takuboku
    You know. The one about you using
    hair restorer on your upper lip.
[11:15] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    What?
[11:16] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Really, thanks to that,
    the character gained a lot of depth.
[11:19] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    How could you?!
[11:21] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    You promised me you'd never
    say anything about that!
[11:25] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    You stop it right now! I told you never
    to breathe a word to anyone!
[11:29] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Honestly!
[11:32] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    That's why I didn't want you knowing!
[11:49] Yoshii
    So you followed them to tell them this?
[11:53] Hirai
    No.
[11:54] Hirai
    It isn't as if the woman
    did anything, after all.
[11:58] Hirai
    It's just...
[11:59] Takuboku
    What?
[12:01] Hirai
    Certain actions by Ishikawa-sensei
    caused me to take a sudden interest.
[12:06] (Flashback) Takuboku
    I have a feeling that
[12:07] (Flashback) Takuboku
    you'll take your leave from this world
    without ever knowing the joys of life...
[12:11] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Let's go!
[12:11] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Let us go, Ishikawa-kun!
[12:17] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Oh, Kayo-chan. Do you have a minute?
[12:19] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Kyousuke-san, would you mind
    going ahead? It's about my rent...
[12:24] (Flashback) Kayo
    Again?
[12:25] (Flashback) Kayo
    You really need to stop this.
[12:30] (Flashback) Kayo
    What is this money for?
[12:32] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Can you hurry over to Hananoya
[12:34] (Flashback) Takuboku
    and ask them to keep a woman
    called Otaki free for me?
[12:37] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Tell them that Ishikawa
    will be bringing a guest.
[12:40] (Flashback) Kayo
    That's a place they have
    prostitutes, isn't it?
[12:43] (Flashback) Kayo
    I don't want to.
[12:44] (Flashback) Takuboku
    It's for her sake, too!
[12:46] (Flashback) Takuboku
    Please!
[12:51] (Flashback) Kayo
    I'll have another five sen.

[13:22] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    Pleased to make your acquaintance.
[13:24] (Flashback) Otaki
    My, what a strange thing to say.
[13:28] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    I'll have one of those, if you don't mind.
[13:38] (Flashback) Otaki
    Here you go.
[13:40] (Flashback) Otaki
    Oh...
[13:43] (Flashback) Otaki
    Please go up to the room.
[13:45] (Flashback) Kyousuke
    What?
[13:46] (Flashback) Otaki
    I'll be back in a moment.
[13:53] (Flashback) Otaki
    You there! Could it be that you're...
[13:56] (Flashback) Otaki
    Did you tell them what happened yesterday?
[14:04] (Flashback) Hirai
    Here...
[14:05] (Flashback) Hirai
    He forgot this. I found it
    at the restaurant...
[14:09] (Flashback) Otaki
    I see.
[14:13] (Flashback) Otaki
    I'll give it back to him.
[14:15] (Flashback) Otaki
    Are you a student?
[14:19] (Flashback) Hirai
    Uh... Yes...
[14:25] (Flashback) Otaki
    Once you've grown a little
    more, come and see me.
[14:33] Takuboku
    So, you're the one who
    gave the diary to Otaki.
[14:36] Hirai
    Yes.
[14:38] Hirai
    If I'd given that diary to you in person,
[14:41] Hirai
    things would have been more straightforward.
[14:45] Hirai
    The culprit in this case is neither
    Professor Kindaichi nor Ishikawa-sensei.
[14:50] Nomura
    You must have some basis for that statement.
[14:52] Hirai
    Yes.
[14:53] Hirai
    The reason neither of them can be the killer
    is the way they light their cigarettes.
[14:59] Hirai
    Each of them lit their cigarettes
    with their right hands.
[15:04] Hirai
    If either of them had been the culprit,
[15:06] Hirai
    the wound in Otaki's throat would
    have to have been on the left.
[15:11] Hirai
    If a right-handed person had used that
    short sword, with Otaki facing her attacker,
[15:16] Hirai
    her wound would be on
     the left side of her throat.
[15:18] Hirai
    But her injury was on the other side.
[15:22] Yoshii
    I see!
[15:23] Yoshii
    So the man Kindaichi talked about
    must have been left-handed.
[15:25] Yoshii
    He's the culprit!
[15:26] Hirai
    No. That man is not the killer.
[15:30] Hirai
    But I do believe it's true that
     Professor Kindaichi saw him.
[15:34] Hirai
    A man Professor Kindaichi witnessed,
    who later disappeared,
[15:38] Hirai
    and the madam who left
    the reception area empty.
[15:42] Hirai
    This means that two people disappeared.
[15:47] Hirai
    A man and... a woman.
[15:51] Nomura
    So that's what it was!
[15:52] Nomura
    The man Kindaichi saw is
     the madam's young lover!
[15:55] Hirai
    Most likely.
[15:57] Hirai
    That's why she wanted to
    conceal his identity.
[16:01] Sakutarou
    If that's the case...
[16:04] Yoshii
    Then the person who killed Otaki
[16:06] Yoshii
    has to be either Ishikawa-kun
    or Kindaichi-kun, doesn't it?
[16:09] Hirai
    No. There's one more person.
[16:14] Hirai
    The person who killed Otaki-san...
[16:17] Takuboku
    ...was Otaki herself.
[16:21] Hirai
    Exactly.
[16:23] Hirai
    She struck the match with her left hand.
[16:28] Hirai
    If a left-handed person were
    to stab themselves in the throat,
[16:32] Hirai
    they would hold the short sword
    on the right to gain some distance,
[16:36] Hirai
    and stab in one motion.
[16:49] Yoshii
    But what was her motive?
[16:52] Hirai
    Her motive was...
[16:56] Hirai
    The question as to why Otaki-san came
    to Gaiheikan two nights ago...
[17:00] Hirai
    I found the answer
    in Ishikawa-sensei's diary.
[17:03] Hirai
    About a month ago,
    Ishikawa-sensei received a letter
[17:06] Hirai
    from the proprietress of an inn in Kushiro.
[17:12] Hirai
    The proprietress and he had,
    well, their relationship was...
[17:15] Nomura
    They'd been together, huh?
[17:17] Hirai
    And... she'd written that
    a woman who worked at the inn
[17:20] Hirai
    had fallen in love with Professor Kindaichi
[17:23] Hirai
    when he'd gone to Hokkaido
    to research the Ainu.
[17:26] Hirai
    She'd shaken off attempts
    to stop her and gone to Tokyo,
[17:28] Hirai
    so could he possibly
    help the two of them meet.
[17:32] Sakutarou
    And that girl was Hananoya's... Otaki...
[17:37] Hirai
    Otaki-san must have waited, wondering
    when Professor Kindaichi might come.
[17:40] Hirai
    Each day must have felt
    like a thousand years.
[17:44] Hirai
    But no matter how long
    she waited, he never came.
[17:47] Nomura
    So, she finally decided
    to see him herself, huh?
[17:51] Hirai
    When she heard Professor Kindaichi's habit
[17:54] Hirai
    of speaking more femininely when agitated,
[17:55] Hirai
    Otaki-san must have started to
    wonder about their relationship...
[17:59] Hirai
    But the next day, when Otaki-san
     had sunk into despair,
[18:04] Hirai
    the professor appeared before her.
[18:06] Hirai
    Otaki-san must have decided she'd been
    jumping to conclusions the night before.
[18:10] Hirai
    I'm certain that's what she thought.
[18:13] Hirai
    But, in the end, frustration, joy, despair,
[18:17] Hirai
    these emotions had their
    way with Otaki-san...
[18:21] Hirai
    Ishikawa-sensei...
[18:22] Hirai
    the truth is you knew Professor Kindaichi
    wasn't the killer, didn't you?
[18:26] Hirai
    The reason you treated Professor
    Kindaichi as the criminal
[18:29] Hirai
    lies within the yearning, pure love
    of a prostitute from the countryside,
[18:32] Hirai
    and the vexation of seeing Professor
    Kindaichi be unable to respond to it.
[18:36] Hirai
    That's what I think.
[18:40] Akutagawa
    It's all in a grove.
[18:41] Nomura
    But if Otaki was deeply
    in love with Kindaichi,
[18:45] Nomura
    why would she enter a brothel?
[18:47] Hirai
    I don't know, either.
[18:50] Hirai
    But even so...
[18:52] Hirai
    Otaki-san was always coughing badly...
[18:55] Hirai
    Maybe... she didn't have long left...
[19:07] Takuboku
    I dragged you all into this
    ridiculous farce with me!
[19:10] Takuboku
    I'm sorry.
[19:12] Takuboku
    "Just once before I die, I want
    to be with the man I love."
[19:16] Takuboku
    Otaki sold her body to make
    money and came here.
[19:21] Takuboku
    And that obstinate,
    unsociable blockhead just...
[19:24] Takuboku
    No matter how many times I invited him,
    he never went to Hananoya.
[19:27] Takuboku
    And just when I thought he'd go see her,
[19:29] Takuboku
    this time, he wouldn't
    even try to touch her.
[19:32] Takuboku
    I know! Of course I know!
[19:36] Takuboku
    I know that's the kind
    of person Kyousuke-san is...
[19:39] Takuboku
    I know, but...
[19:42] Takuboku
    What I saw in that room...
    was Otaki preparing for death.
[19:46] Takuboku
    Her last moments in this life,
    you could say,
[19:48] Takuboku
    with Kyousuke-san's jacket draped about her.
[19:53] Takuboku
    When I saw that, an overwhelming hate
    for Kyousuke-san rose up in me...
[19:57] Takuboku
    I hated him, hated him, hated him,
    hated him, hated him!
[20:01] Takuboku
    That's why! That's why I served
     him up to the police!
[20:09] Takuboku
    Oh, it's so ridiculous.
[20:19] Takuboku
    A memento.
[20:21] Takuboku
    Well...
[20:22] Takuboku
    Now that the truth behind
    the farce has been revealed,
[20:25] Takuboku
    let's put an end to it, shall we?
[20:29] Nomura
    Where are you going?
[20:30] Takuboku
    That's obvious, isn't it?
[20:34] Yoshii
    What is it?
[20:35] Sakutarou
    Ishikawa-san... didn't leave
    his part of the bill, did he?

[20:59] Kyousuke
    Oh, right.
[21:01] Kyousuke
    Here.
SIGN    My dream came true. Thank you.
[21:14] Kyousuke
    The fact that I was released...
    means the killer was found, right?
[21:19] Takuboku
    That jacket. Did you really forget it?
[21:22] Kyousuke
    What?
[21:23] Kyousuke
    Yeah... Well...
[21:45] Kyousuke
    Ow!
[21:46] Kyousuke
    Wh-What was that for?!
[21:48] Kyousuke
    Hey! Ishikawa-kun!

    Hirai-kun, your deductions
    were really impressive.

    Right now, I'm interested
    in those popular rumors!
