"Himuro?" "It's me." "Please help me!" "Everything is the same as that time." "What happened a year ago?" "Kidnapping." "Kidnapping?" "Yuka was involved with a case and died, right?" "That's not your fault." "It was Snail's fault." "Yuka was killed by..." "Me." "Yuka accepted Snail's exchange offer." "I followed her." "I went into a dark warehouse." "Himuro!" "Yuka, are you ok?" "While faint from the bullet wound, I picked up the gun on the ground." "I looked for Snail in the dark." "I had a feeling Snail was behind me, so I fired." "I don't remember anything after that..." "Snail was gone by the time the police arrived at the scene." "But Yuka was..." "The bullet found in her body wasn't from Snail's gun." "It was from the gun that was in my hand." "[Subtitles by:" "Office Masao]" "[Thanks to ap for the raws.]" "The bullet taken from Yuka's body was definitely from Himuro's gun." "I performed the autopsy." "I remember it vividly because it was a special case." "Special?" "When the hostage woke up in the hospital..." "She had lost all memories associated with the case and her sister Yuka." "Do you mean Naomi Sakaki?" "That's right." "It happens sometimes..." "After going through a very painful experience, a person erases the memory unconsciously." "It's called retrograde amnesia." "It was probably because her sister was killed in front of her." "Though it was a mistaken shot, it's a life-long burden for Detective Himuro." "Before regaining consciousness, he would toss and turn, muttering something." "Do you have his medical records?" "They all went to the Metropolitan Police as investigation documents." "I see..." "A case from a year ago?" "I'd like to see the investigation documents." "The superintendent ordered that the case immediately be treated as top secret." "They should be in the headquarters." "Top secret?" "Why?" "I don't know...so no one sees them?" "Is this Himuro's order again?" "No!" "I'd like to see them myself." "You?" "Why?" "I'm looking for clues to help Himuro." "Please!" "It was the superintendent's order." "I really can't!" "Fine, I won't ask you any more!" "You're stingy!" "Stingy?" "What does that mean?" "Detective!" "Where were you?" "Sort of collecting information..." "Did you find anything?" "Naomi is suffering from retrograde amnesia." "She's forgotten about the incident and Yuka." "Hello, this is Himuro." "It's Snail." "Did you receive my gift?" "You bastard!" "Don't worry..." "Naomi Sakaki is still alive." "Himuro, it's me." "Please help me!" "Sakaki, are you ok?" "That's it, Detective Himuro." "Next time may not be just a finger." "It depends on you." "This could be the last time you hear her voice." "This is the deal..." "This time you come yourself, not your assistant." "Got it?" "Three hours from now at 4:00pm." "The same time and place as a year ago." "Bring 500 million yen worth of diamonds and come by yourself." "If you break the promise, Naomi Sakaki dies." "Dammit..." "Ayaki, where are the diamonds?" "Upstairs." "Impossible!" "You can't even go out of this room." "But we don't have much time!" "Detective Himuro!" "Damn..." "Hey, Detective Himuro, are you there?" "That voice..." "Please leave." "You can't pass this point without Kozaburo's permission." "Detective Himuro, please come out." "I need to talk to you." "Detective Himuro!" "Ok, I'll speak from here." "Listen carefully." "You really disgust me." "We're always working hard to catch criminals." "If you came here just to tell me that, please leave." "That's not it." "I brought you something." "The investigation documents of the case from a year ago." "I don't think you've read them." "They were set aside by the superintendent when the Special Office was made." "It seems he didn't want you to find them." "Your failure the other day, and Ayaki's concern for you today..." "I thought something was strange, so I went to headquarters." "That case a year ago..." "The person who died..." "Was your girlfriend, wasn't it?" "You must have been devastated." "Inspector Otaguro..." "I tricked the old man in the reference room and stole the documents." "I'll be in trouble if they find out..." "But read them as a small gift from me." "Bye." "Inspector Otaguro..." "You have my gratitude." "Can't you just say 'thank you'?" "No, no, this isn't it..." "What are you looking for?" "I found it!" "The records from when you were unconscious." "I was just at the hospital." "The doctor said you were muttering." "I was muttering?" "Yuka, don't!" "Stop!" "What did Yuka..." "It's no use, I can't remember." "There must be something you forgot." "Try to remember!" "I shot Yuka." "It was ten minutes until the police arrived." "Ten minutes...a blank..." "Before that, you were also shot, right?" "You must have forgotten because you were wounded and felt faint." "Words..." "Yuka said something." "What?" "What did she say?" "It's no use, I can't recall." "My head hurts when I try to remember." "Please try to recall." "You probably feel pain because you can't remember." "I've had that happen too." "Please let me go to exchange the ransom." "I'll go to Snail's place, just like you did a year ago." "What are you saying?" "He said I had to go." "If you go, he'll fool you again." "That's not what I meant." "I'll become your eyes..." "And go over that day for you, step by step." "You may be able to recall what you forgot." "You said this case is the same as a year ago." "I'm serious." "No." "When I lose something, I always do this..." "I follow the same path, stop by the same places, shop at the same stores..." "By doing so, I can recall where I lost the important thing." "I don't want to bother you any more." "You're not bothering me!" "You're narrow-minded and sometimes mean..." "But I like you very much." "I'll do anything for you." "I want to help you, so..." "So even if you say 'no', I'll go." "Listen..." "Don't take any chances." "If you sense danger, come back immediately." "Ok?" "Ok." "I've never heard you say anything like that." "I said the same thing to Yuka." "Got it." "I'll find the ten minutes you lost." "Wait!" "Thank you." "My pleasure." "Ayaki, where are you now?" "I'm in a park." "Hanae said you first met Yuka here when you were in high school." "What kind of person was she?" "It was about the same season as now..." "We happened to meet Yuka while she taking a walk with her dog." "Hey sis!" "Oh, Naomi!" "This is Himuro, the one I told you about." "Is he the guy?" "No!" "Just a classmate." "She's a bit spoiled." "Is she causing you any trouble?" "I'm Naomi's sister Yuka." "Nice to meet you." "Oh..." "What's wrong?" "I just felt my heart tighten." "I might have been jealous of Yuka." "I used to visit the park with Yuka when she walked her dog." "There was a wooden bench..." "I'm planning to become a police officer after graduation." "What?" "I'd like to work my way up to officer in the investigation department." "Don't worry!" "But..." "I told you my parents were killed by robbers, didn't I?" "Yes..." "By becoming a police officer, I hope to reduce the number of victims like my parents." "You're so driven..." "I like that about you." "When I was in college we'd often meet at that cafe." "It was near both of us." "We would talk until dark, never growing tired." "Study in Boston?" "Yes." "I'll probably go right after I start work with the Metropolitan Police." "We won't see each other for a while..." "It's just for a year." "I see..." "That's true." "You didn't think about getting married?" "I didn't think there was any point to marriage then." "Even if we didn't exchange vows in a church or exchange rings..." "We thought we would always be together." "When I returned, we walked on that street, together again." "Suddenly, Yuka started crying..." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Yuka..." "You came back, didn't you?" "I told you it would just be a year." "Yes..." "But I thought I might not see you again." "Why?" "I don't know..." "I wonder..." "But..." "You came back." "I'm glad." "I didn't know why Yuka cried that day." "She could pick up things quickly." "Deep down, maybe she knew we didn't have much time left together." "I'm here." "It's a creepy warehouse." "There should be an entrance at the back." "It's unlocked." "That's how it was a year ago." "There's broken glass scattered everywhere." "It makes noise when I walk on it." "There are old, broken machines here." "Glass...noise while walking..." "Broken machines..." "There was a word spray-painted on a wall to the right." "'Snail', written in English." "It's there." "I'm scared." "There's a hallway." "Keep going." "Ok." "There's a door." "That's it." "Snail is in there." "The signal from the transmitter I gave Yuka was coming from there." "I put my ear to the door to make sure nobody was there." "I opened the door..." "Open the door a little." "Slowly." "Slowly." "Just a little..." "It's dark." "I can't see anything." "Dark?" "Can't see anything..." "That's right..." "It was dark that time too." "Himuro!" "Yuka, are you ok?" "It's bright..." "I can see well..." "See?" "Scotopia..." "Human eyes are able to adjust to darkness." "Yuka woke up after the room had become completely dark." "What?" "What's going on?" "Yuka noticed me even though it was completely dark." "She was able to see Snail and me." "Kozaburo..." "I lost Snail in the darkness." "That's right..." "I heard a voice..." "Yuka's voice." "Kozaburo, behind you!" "Hearing her voice, I turned around and shot instinctively." "I was able to see Snail's tattoo." "Snail was holding my gun!" "Why was he holding my gun?" "I see." "It was then..." "The guns had already been switched then." "But why was I holding my gun when the police arrived?" "This is..." "Ayaki, I figured out Snail's identity." "What?" "Snail is someone you know well." "I should have noticed it when I watched the surveillance video." "When someone is attacked at a condo entrance at night..." "It's not natural to run outside where there are few people around." "It's more common to go to any room in the condo and call for help from there." "She was acting, aware that she was being filmed by the surveillance camera." "This case's culprit is Naomi Sakaki." "This time the kidnapper and hostage are switched." "A reversed kidnapping." "Naomi's the kidnapper?" "Don't move!" "Drop the gun, raise your hands, and slowly move forward." "If you don't follow my instructions, I'll shoot you." "Sakaki..." "Naomi?" "Hurry up!" "Why did you come here?" "Himuro, can you hear me?" "It's Naomi." "Ayaki, where's Snail?" "Naomi, where's Snail?" "He's right here." "Detective, he's dead..." "Who did it?" "Me." "I killed him." "Turn around." "Quickly!" "I happened to see this guy when we were at the restaurant." "Would you like more?" "Yes, please." "I recalled everything I had forgotten." "I had an older sister named Yuka." "She and Himuro loved each other." "And I recalled the incident from a year ago." "I wanted to die." "That guy..." "When he found out I wasn't Yuka..." "He abused me." "And..." "What I did in the end..." "What you did in the end?" "I switched Himuro's gun with Snail's gun." "I thought so..." "Wait a minute!" "Snail had my gun." "That means..." "I didn't shoot Yuka, Snail did!" "But he was definitely aiming at me." "Kozaburo, behind you!" "That's right." "The words!" "At that moment, Yuka's words were..." "Now I remember, Yuka." "Your last words..." "I..." "If I can die for you..." "I won't regret it." "Ayaki, I've recalled all of the ten-minute blank." "What?" "I didn't shoot Yuka." "She protected me." "What do you mean?" "Because Sakaki switched the guns, I thought I killed Yuka." "I won't..." "I won't let this happen." "At the time, my thought was..." "To completely erase the fact that Yuka died protecting Himuro." "By switching the guns, I made it look like Himuro shot Yuka." "Why?" "Why would you?" "Because I liked Himuro for a long time." "I loved Himuro more than anyone in the world..." "And I hated Yuka's last words to him." "Kozaburo, behind you!" "Kozaburo..." "If I can die for you..." "I won't regret it." "When I heard those words, I thought..." "If this continues, Himuro will live with my sister's love for the rest of his life." "She protected Himuro?" "Ridiculous!" "She snuck in and stole the most important person in my life!" "She didn't have the right to say such words!" "Himuro..." "listen to me." "I..." "I wanted to take Yuka's place." "I asked this guy to repeat the crime from a year ago." "If I pretended I was kidnapped..." "He might be able to get more money." "I desperately..." "I desperately wanted to see Himuro again." "I..." "I wanted to take Yuka's place." "Take her place?" "Yes." "When Himuro came, I was going to shoot myself and die." "In complete darkness, I would do the same thing Yuka did." "The same thing?" "I'd shout, "Himuro, look out!"" "And then I'd shoot myself and die." "When the lights turned on..." "It would look like I ran in and protected Himuro..." "Covered with blood." "Naomi..." "I really liked him!" "Long before Yuka did." "So..." "I was devastated." "Like my sister..." "Who died protecting Himuro..." "This time I wanted to do the same." "Naomi, what are you doing?" "What happened?" "A fire started!" "Get out with Sakaki!" "Ok." "Naomi, what are you doing?" "Get out of here, quickly." "I'll die here." "What are you saying?" "Hurry!" "Stay back!" "It's Detective Himuro." "Why don't you talk to him?" "You like him, don't you?" "Talk to him!" "If your love makes you do all this..." "Then ask him yourself about what he really wants!" "Sakaki..." "You've unknowingly placed a curse on me." "The curse is Yuka's death." "But the curse has been lifted." "I still think I'm responsible for Yuka's death." "I made you suffer." "I'm sorry." "Himuro..." "Hurry!" "Detective Himuro, we got out." "Wait..." "I dropped the cell phone!" "What is this?" "Which way is the exit?" "Hard to breath..." "Detective Himuro, help me..." "Detective Himuro..." "Where are you?" "I came back to get the cell phone, but I can't find the exit." "Are you stupid?" "I am stupid." "I really am." "I didn't want to die like this..." "Stay there!" "Don't move!" "Don't move?" "A dream?" "Still a dream?" "In the end, Detective Himuro went back to the basement again..." "And I lost contact with him." "Fortunately, I just inhaled some smoke and didn't suffer any burns...." "I left the hospital soon after and immediately took leave to prepare for the wedding." "How are you doing?" "It's good that the surgery on your finger was successful." "I..." "I thought I had accepted that..." "The Himuro I loved was dating Yuka." "What?" "Yuka was pretty and smart." "Everyone liked her...unlike me." "I kept telling myself, "Of course Himuro would like such a perfect person."" "But..." "It was no use." "In reality..." "I couldn't accept it." "In the end..." "Yuka's final words to Himuro..." "If I can die for you..." "I won't regret it." "When I heard those words..." "I think something triggered the feelings that I had suppressed." "Ayaki..." "Was he able to go outside?" "Yes." "After that, he came to rescue us." "I see..." "He..." "Was finally able to go out." "Detective Himuro?" "Kurumi..." "Shingo..." "It's almost time." "Yes." "We'll go on the honeymoon after you submit your resignation letter." "That's better, right?" "Once my work picks up, we should buy a condo." "We won't feel settled if we're renting." "Then we should have kids!" "The first one should be a girl, right?" "We'll be happy, won't we?" "Kurumi!" "This is Ayaki." "Detective Himuro?" "I appreciate your hard work." "I'm not working that hard." "Excuse me." "Where are you now?" "Well..." "I'm at a wedding." "A wedding?" "Whose?" "Mine." "You're getting married?" "Yes." "Congratulations." "You have my warmest wishes." "Thank you very much." "By the way, a murder case has just started." "Come to the Special Office right away." "What?" "What's wrong?" "What?" "But we're about to..." "I'm sorry Shingo, there's been a murder." "Murder?" "Can I?" "What do you mean, 'Can I'?" " Please!" "Excuse me!" "Get out of my way!" "Could it be?" "Now?" "Again?" "Well...what can you do?" "You'll have trouble with her..." "Why do you look so happy?" "Well..." "I learned a lot." "Well then, shall we say it together?" "It?" "Good idea!" "Everyone, all together now..." "No way!"
