[00:16] Tamaki
    How is it?
[00:21] Takuboku
    The dust on the floor has been disturbed.
[00:24] Takuboku
    Someone has definitely been
     hiding up there recently.
[00:28] Takuboku
    This had fallen there.
[00:31] Takuboku
    It must have come off of the
    clothes of whoever snuck in.
[00:34] Tamaki
    A button.
[00:39] Tamaki
    Could this be...
[00:41] Takuboku
    Yes.
[00:42] Takuboku
    It's very likely the button from the shirt
    we found in Kagami's house.
[00:46] Tamaki
    And that shirt belonged to
     Kagami's brother, didn't it?

[02:37] Takuboku
    Is that your husband?
[02:39] Tamaki
    Yes.
[02:40] Tamaki
    My husband, Sonobe.
[02:48] children
    Yay!
[02:49] children
    I'm over here!
[02:50] Takuboku
    There sure are a lot of children here.
[02:52] children
    Wait!
[02:53] Tamaki
    This church takes in parent-less
     children and looks after them.
[02:54] children
    Hurry up!
[02:55] children
    You're too fast...
[02:55] children
    This way!
[02:58] children
    Whoops!
[02:59] children
    That was close.
[03:00] Child A
    Onee-chan! Come play with us!
[03:03] Tamaki
    I'm showing a guest around.
    Some other time, all right?
[03:07] Child B
    Do you know where Sacchan went?
[03:09] Tamaki
    What?
[03:10] Child A
    Sacchan disappeared...
[03:14] Tamaki
    I see...
[03:16] Tamaki
    Yes, I'm sure someone nice took her in.
[03:28] Takuboku
    What was written in
    the letter of accusation,
[03:30] Takuboku
    that your husband is using his
    philanthropic work as a front
[03:33] Takuboku
    to make money selling children.
[03:36] Takuboku
    It's true, isn't it?
[03:37] Tamaki
    Yes.
[03:55] Tamaki
    He went to confession.
[03:57] Takuboku
    Confession?
[03:58] Tamaki
    That's the confessional.
[04:02] Tamaki
    In there, you confess the sins you've
    committed and receive absolution.
[04:09] Takuboku
    How beautiful.
[04:10] Tamaki
    What?
[04:11] Takuboku
    No, you know... that stained glass.
[04:15] Tamaki
    Oh!
[04:15] Takuboku
    It really is a beautiful church!
[04:18] Takuboku
    Once I've published a book
    and received the money from it,
[04:20] Takuboku
    I'd love to make a donation here.
[04:22] Kayo
    Before you do that, would you
    please pay your rent?
[04:25] Takuboku
    K-Kayo-san?
[04:27] Takuboku
    Why are you here?
[04:29] Kayo
    I should be asking you that.
[04:31] Takuboku
    So the church where you help with
    the soup kitchen was this one, huh?
[04:37] Tamaki
    I come here every week to help, too.
    That's how I met Kayo-san.
[04:43] Tamaki
    Today, I hope you'll help, too, Ishikawa-san.
[04:48] Takuboku
    Hot!
[04:49] Takuboku
    Hot, hot, hot!
[04:51] Kayo
    Come now. If you don't make them
    faster, you'll never catch up.
[04:55] Takuboku
    I'm amazed you can make
    them when it's this hot.
[04:58] Kayo
    It's only hot because you're thinking
    about things you don't need to.
[05:02] Tamaki
    When I'm making onigiri like this
    for people in need, for the children,
[05:08] Tamaki
    I find it very heartening.
[05:10] Tamaki
    I mean...
[05:12] Tamaki
    doesn't it make you feel like
    your life is being given meaning?
[05:17] Tamaki
    Hot! Hot!
SIGN    Gaiheikan
[05:22] Takuboku
    Wah! Whoops...
[05:23] Kyousuke
    Ishikawa-kun? What's happened?
[05:28] Kyousuke
    Ishikawa-kun?
[05:29] Takuboku
    Oh! Perfect timing!
[05:31] Takuboku
    Will you help me?
[05:33] Kyousuke
    All right. With what?
[05:36] Takbuoku
    I'm gathering these up to pawn them.
[05:38] Takuboku
    I don't think they'll
    fetch very much, but...
[05:41] Kyousuke
    This Buch Der Lieder...
[05:43] Kyousuke
    Is this...
[05:44] Takuboku
    That's right!
[05:46] Takuboku
    I was going to return it, but
[05:48] Takuboku
    let me do that some other time.
[05:50] Kyousuke
    That's fine, but what do you
    need so much money for?
[05:54] Kyousuke
    This month's rent isn't due until later...
[05:58] Takuboku
    I was thinking of making
    a donation to the church.
[06:01] Nomura
    A donation?!
[06:03] Nomura
    When he can't even take care
     of his own living expenses?
[06:06] Kyousuke
    He said he wanted to be of
     some small use to the world.
[06:09] Kyousuke
    I don't think it's a bad thing to
    confront society like that, but...
[06:13] Kyousuke
    Still...
[06:14] Nomura
    Well, compared to when he's depressed,
    you could say this is a lot better.
[06:19] Kyousuke
    That's true, but...
[06:21] Sakutarou
    It's all done for love... isn't it?
[06:25] Yoshii
    And what's happened with the threatening
    letter sent to this Tamaki-san?
[06:30] Kyousuke
    He does seem to be investigating,
[06:32] Kyousuke
    but I don't think there's been
    significant progress.
[06:34] Nomura
    Speaking of which, that "bat-man" incident
[06:38] Nomura
    seems to have been wrapped
    up as an accidental death.
[06:40] Sakutarou
    If—as the rumors suggest—Kagami was
     killed by that man, Sonobe...
[06:45] Sakutarou
    It's not a pleasant thought.
[06:47] Hirai
    Um, might I say something?
[06:49] Nomura
    What is it?
[06:50] Hirai
    About the unhappy Kagami...
[06:54] Hirai
    I heard a very interesting story.
[06:59] Takuboku
    "6:30, woke...
[07:01] Takuboku
    dressed and groomed. 7:15, breakfast."
[07:06] Tamaki
    My actions were exactly as written.
[07:09] Tamaki
    It seems my life and Sonobe's
    are in the palm of that man's hand.
[07:21] Takuboku
    I want to protect you... and keep you safe.
[07:26] Tamaki
    Ishikawa-san...
[07:33] Tamaki
    My husband is home.
[07:35] Tamaki
    Please leave through the back.
SIGN    Gaiheikan
[07:43] Kyousuke
    Can I come in?
[07:44] Takuboku
    Please do.
[07:49] Kyousuke
    How is it going with Tamaki-san?
[07:51] Takuboku
    It's going all right.
[07:53] Kyousuke
    I see.
[07:55] Kyousuke
    And what about your health?
[07:57] Takuboku
    I can't say it's remarkably
    good, but it isn't bad.
[08:03] Kyousuke
    Please don't push yourself
    too hard, all right?

    What are you reading?
SIGN    An Appeal to the Young 
    
    
    by Kropotkin 
    Translated by Oosugi
[08:13] Kyousuke
    Kropotkin?
[08:15] Kyousuke
    An Appeal to the Young?
[08:17] Kyousuke
    Why that all of a sudden?
[08:20] Takuboku
    Up until now, I've put
    all my energy into poetry.
[08:24] Takuboku
    But poetry won't change society.
[08:28] Kyousuke
    That may be true, but...
[08:31] Takuboku
    I want to be of use to society.
[08:34] Takuboku
    That is the reason
    for my being born into this world.
[08:38] Takuboku
    I was afraid of death.
[08:41] Takuboku
    More precisely, of dying
    and becoming nothingness.
[08:43] Takuboku
    But I finally feel like
    I know what I need to do!
[08:48] Takuboku
    The life I've lived until now,
    not knowing why I was alive,
[08:52] Takuboku
    it's as though I were a living corpse!
[08:54] Takuboku
    I will live, in the true sense of the word,
    together with Tamaki-san!
[08:57] Kyousuke
    What is a "living corpse"?
[09:00] Takuboku
    The living dead.
    Also called "zombies," I hear.
[09:04] Takuboku
    I suppose they're like
    what we'd call ghosts.
[09:06] Kyousuke
    Speaking of which, I heard that ghosts
    appear in the house where Kagami lived.
[09:11] Takuboku
    Ghosts?
[09:12] Kyousuke
    Yes.
[09:13] Kyousuke
    According to what Hirai-kun heard,
    though no one lives in the house,
[09:18] Kyousuke
    you can see a light flickering
     through the window.
[09:25] Takuboku
    I don't see anything.
[09:27] Kyousuke
    Let's just go home.
[09:29] Kyousuke
    There can't be a ghost—
[09:30] Takuboku
    Let's try going around the back.
[09:32] Kyousuke
    Ishikawa-kun!
[09:33] Kyousuke
    I-I'm not going!
[09:35] Takuboku
    Then just wait here, please, Kyousuke-san.
[09:37] Kyousuke
    What?
[09:38] Takuboku
    I'll go take a look around.
[10:07] Takuboku
    Kyousuke-san! He's coming!
[10:08] Kyousuke
    Huh?
[10:12] Takuboku
    Kyousuke-san!
[10:13] Kyousuke
    Ow, ow, ow...
[10:15] Kyousuke
    That was close. Someone
    suddenly came bursting out...
[10:18] Takuboku
    I was hoping you would catch him.
[10:21] Kyousuke
    Like I could do something like that.
[10:23] beggar
    Let go! Hey!
[10:26] beggar
    I said let me go!
[10:28] beggar
    Stop it, you little punk!
[10:33] Takuboku
    So, you used us, didn't you?
[10:36] Hirai
    A brilliant deduction.
[10:37] Hirai
    I thought he'd get away
    if I were by myself, so...
[10:41] Hirai
    I'm very sorry.
[10:43] Takuboku
    So. You have some idea of who this is, then?
[10:47] Hirai
    You're the beggar who lives
    under the bridge, aren't you?
[10:51] Hirai
    I apologize for treating you so roughly.
[10:54] Hirai
    I was hoping to ask you something...
[10:58] Takuboku
    Kyousuke-san.
[10:59] Takuboku
    Are you carrying any money with you?
[11:01] Kyousuke
    Huh?
[11:03] Kyousuke
    Yes.
[11:04] Takuboku
    Let me borrow a little.
[11:09] Takuboku
    Not enough?
[11:12] Takuboku
    Then...
[11:16] Kyousuke
    So, after Kagami had died and the police
    had finished searching the house,
[11:21] Kyousuke
    you started living here. Right?
[11:23] beggar
    Yes!
[11:24] Kyousuke
    Did anyone come here after that?
[11:27] beggar
    Just once.
[11:28] beggar
    A man and a woman came
    looking for something.
[11:30] Takuboku
    That would have been Tamaki-san and I.
[11:33] Kyousuke
    Did anyone else come?
[11:35] beggar
    No. No one's come.
[11:37] Takuboku
    Was there a shirt in the house?
[11:39] beggar
    A shirt?
[11:41] beggar
    Oh!
[11:42] beggar
    I was thinking of pawning it,
    but it was missing a button, so...
[11:55] Takuboku
    Tamaki-san...
[12:02] Kyousuke
    Ishikawa-kun?
[12:17] Tamaki
    Darling,
[12:18] Tamaki
    just now, there was someone at the window!
[12:21] Sonobe
    Don't be ridiculous.
[12:22] Tamaki
    But!
[12:23] Sonobe
    That's enough.
[12:25] Sonobe
    "There's someone hiding in the ceiling."
[12:27] Sonobe
    "There's someone peering
    in a second story window."
[12:30] Sonobe
    It's all absurd.

[12:52] Takuboku
    Please, open the door! Tamaki-san!
[12:55] Takuboku
    It's me! Ishikawa!
[12:57] Ooyama
    Hey!
[12:59] Ooyama
    If I'm not mistaken, you're...
[13:06] Ooyama
    Why are you here?
[13:08] Takuboku
    Where is Tamaki-san?
[13:09] Ooyama
    Answer the question!
[13:11] Ooyama
    Why are you here?
[13:12] Takuboku
    I took on detective work
    at Tamaki-san's request...
[13:16] Takuboku
    Tamaki-san!
[13:17] Tamaki
    Ishikawa-sama!
[13:22] Ooyama
    We came because we heard
    there'd been a murder.
[13:26] Takuboku
    Tamaki-san! Did...
[13:28] Tamaki
    He appeared... Kagami's younger brother...
[13:36] Ooyama
    So, it was from here that
    he was dragged out and down.
[13:40] Ooyama
    Your husband couldn't swim?
[13:42] Tamaki
    That's right.
[13:46] Tamaki
    Thank you.
[13:49] Takuboku
    Would you like some, Inspector?
[13:51] Ooyama
    What is it?
[13:52] Takuboku
    Cocoa.
[13:54] Ooyama
    No, thank you.
[13:56] Ooyama
    Can I ask you for the details?
[13:59] Tamaki
    Of course.
[14:01] Tamaki
    It was... a little after nine.
[14:06] (Flashback) Sonobe
    That's enough.
[14:09] (Flashback) Sonobe
    "There's someone hiding in the ceiling."
[14:11] (Flashback) Sonobe
    "There's someone peering
    in a second story window."
[14:13] (Flashback) Sonobe
    It's all absurd.
[14:15] (Flashback) Sonobe
    There is a limit to the amount of nonsense—
[14:19] (Flashback) Sonobe
    You're—
[14:21] (Flashback) Tamaki
    Darling!
[14:32] Ooyama
    So, you saw the face of
     the man outside the window?
[14:37] Tamaki
    Yes. I saw it clearly.
SIGN    To the false married couple
[14:40] Ooyama
    Why didn't you bring this to
     the police when it first arrived?
[14:44] Tamaki
    Because... my husband said not to...
[14:47] Ooyama
    Were you involved with Kagami?
[14:50] Ooyama
    If so, then that would mean you
    yourself had a motive to kill Sonobe.
[14:56] Tamaki
    That's not...
[14:58] Takuboku
    You're being disrespectful!
[14:59] Takuboku
    Stop casting suspicions without bothering
    to think things through first!
[15:02] Ooyama
    What's that?!
[15:03] Takuboku
    It is a fact that I found a button
    from Kagami's brother's shirt
[15:07] Takuboku
    in the rafters of this house.
[15:09] Takuboku
    If you intend to charge Tamaki-san,
[15:12] Takuboku
    then I hope you'll take it all the way
    to Army Surgeon General Mori Rintarou.
[15:18] Takuboku
    Let's go.
[15:20] Tamaki
    Yes.
[15:22] Ooyama
    For the time being, don't leave this house!
[15:32] Takuboku
    I want to keep you safe.
[15:40] Takuboku
    Is there a place the two of us can be alone?
[15:50] Takuboku
    What is this place?
[15:51] Tamaki
    It's my room.
[15:53] Tamaki
    The servants don't come in here, either.
[16:05] Tamaki
    Kayo-san told me.
[16:07] Tamaki
    Humoresques. I like them, too.
[16:15] Takuboku
    I'm going to borrow some paper.
[16:31] Takuboku
    Kagami never had a younger brother.
[16:39] Tamaki
    I would expect no less from
    a detective Kayo-san recommended.
[16:43] Tamaki
    When did you realize?
[16:45] Takuboku
    The man who was there
    when we went to the house
[16:49] Takuboku
    was just a beggar.
[16:52] Takuboku
    He started living in the house
    soon after Kagami died,
[16:56] Takuboku
    and the shirt with the missing
    button was already there.
[17:00] Takuboku
    Which means, the button from
    that shirt was left in the rafters
[17:04] Takuboku
    before Kagami died.
[17:08] Takuboku
    That's strange, isn't it?
[17:09] Takuboku
    To begin his revenge before
    his older brother is killed?
[17:13] Takuboku
    That button... You used the threatening
    letter about Kagami as the basis
[17:18] Takuboku
    to suggest the ceiling to me,
    where I found it.
[17:24] Takuboku
    But, I...
[17:26] Takuboku
    I still don't understand.
[17:28] Takuboku
    Why did you kill Sonobe?
[17:32] Takuboku
    And how is it connected to Kagami's death?
[17:37] Tamaki
    I am not Sonobe's wife.
[17:40] Tamaki
    I am a mistress he bought.
[17:43] Tamaki
    Soon after I began living with him,
[17:45] Tamaki
    I realized Sonobe was selling children
    from the church to the rich.
[17:50] Tamaki
    I went to the police.
[17:55] Tamaki
    But...
[17:57] (Flashback) Sonobe
    I have to make sure you never think
    to do anything so stupid again, don't I?
[18:12] Tamaki
    Sonobe's clients are influential
    in political and business circles.
[18:16] Tamaki
    As soon as he's accused of
    something, it gets crushed.
[18:21] Tamaki
    But then, a once in a lifetime
    chance came to me.
[18:26] (Flashback) Kagami
    My body is being eaten away by illness...
[18:31] (Flashback) Kagami
    My life... will soon be no more.
[18:35] (Flashback) Kagami
    I'm so scared...
[18:37] (Flashback) Kagami
    I can't take it anymore.
[18:39] Tamaki
    I told Kagami about Sonobe's true identity.
[18:44] Tamaki
    Then...
[18:46] (Flashback) Tamaki
    It's all right.
[18:48] (Flashback) Tamaki
    Your fear of death is because
     you fear it's pointless.
[18:54] (Flashback) Tamaki
    But what if it was given meaning?
[18:58] Tamaki
    "What if your death could wipe away
    many other people's unhappiness?"
[19:04] Tamaki
    "Then, you would no longer
    fear your death, would you?"
[19:18] Tamaki
    But... Even with Kagami's death...
[19:22] Tamaki
    Sonobe was not charged for his wrongdoings.
[19:27] Tamaki
    So that Kagami's death
    would not be in vain...
[19:35] Tamaki
    Sonobe had to be killed.
[19:43] Takuboku
    Accuser X.
[19:46] Tamaki
    What's that?
[19:48] Takuboku
    The homicide where the issue of mine pollution
    was revealed in the Arakawa mines.
[19:52] Takuboku
    The murder of a young woman
[19:54] Takuboku
    revealed the bribery scandal
    with Uchimoto steamships.
[19:58] Takuboku
    And this time, the killing of Sonobe.
[20:00] Takuboku
    The other cases also had
    letters of accusation...
[20:04] Takuboku
    almost as if revealing the societal problems
[20:08] Takuboku
    were the true motive for the crimes.
[20:11] Takuboku
    Could it be that you are Accuser X?
[20:19] Tamaki
    That's a genius poet for you.
[20:22] Tamaki
    Impressive powers of imagination.
[20:24] Tamaki
    Sonobe was a person who should die.
[20:27] Tamaki
    I have not a single regret—
[20:38] Takuboku
    I asked Mori Rintarou-sensei
    to mobilize the police.
[20:43] Takuboku
    Ooyama-san.
[20:45] Takuboku
    I apologize for not being able to tell you.
[20:48] Sonobe
    Foolish woman.
[20:50] Sonobe
    Being exposed by the man you meant to use.
[20:55] Takuboku
    I wanted to keep you safe.
[20:58] Takuboku
    I didn't want to let you become a murderer.
[21:01] Tamaki
    Something like that... that's nothing.
[21:05] Takuboku
    How can you say that? How?!
[21:07] Takuboku
    Will killing this man give
     your life meaning?!
[21:15] Ooyama
    You're coming with me.
[21:16] Takuboku
    You... You saved me!
[21:19] Takuboku
    Was that not enough?!
[21:27] Tamaki
    You should, in your own way,
[21:30] Tamaki
    find your own reason for having been born.
[21:38] Ooyama
    Hey! Stop!
[21:40] Ooyama

[21:57] Takuboku
    Tamaki-san!

    "If there were a pleasant occupation
[22:05] Tamaki
    I could work at wholeheartedly, then
[22:09] Tamaki
    when it was finished..."
[23:38] Hirai
    Wakayama-san, you really love
    to travel, don't you?
[23:40] Bokusui
    Yes. When I travel to far off places,
    everything weighing me down flies away
[23:42] Bokusui
    and I can be honest with myself.
SIGN    Next Time: "Over Many Mountains and Rivers"
[23:43] Bokusui
    If there's ever a time things
    get complicated for you,
[23:45] Bokusui
    you should take a trip.
