"No..." "No..." "You aren't Shin-chan." "Who are you?" "Yosuke Kobayashi?" "Kazuhiko Amamiya?" "Or Shinji Nishizono?" "Let's talk about Kazuhiko Amamiya." "Stop!" "Stop, Amamiya!" "Don't shoot him!" "Don't shoot, Amamiya-san!" "Let me get a good shot!" "Stop it, Amamiya!" "You can't kill that guy!" "You can't do whatever you please!" "You know the regulations!" "Are you sure it's alright?" "Skipping work, hanging out at a place like this." "You're a chief of sorts, aren't you Sasayama-san?" "Yup, of a sort." "It'd be problematic if there was an incident while the chief is hanging out here." "The safety of this New Town depends on you." "Flattering doesn't work with me, Chizuko." "There won't be any incidents." "But there was a series of bizarre murders just recently, wasn't there?" "You know, the kind of stuff you see in TV dramas." "Those kind of extraordinary incidents only happen on TV... got it?" "Is that so?" "That is so." "Plus, in an emergency like this, TV stations are restricting themselves from reporting murders." "The police and criminals have no choice but to restrict themselves, too." "How come?" "How come?" "'Cause the Showa era might be coming to an end, that's why." "Amamiya Kazuhiko." "Let's talk about him." "Stop it, Amamiya what're you thinking!" "?" "You fool!" "Amamiya!" "Amamiya!" "You run fast, don't you?" "Chizuko..." "Bang!" "For real?" "Aren't the comics you're reading in pretty bad taste?" "You know, when you're a police chief, you need to study youth subcultures so that you can prevent delinquency." "How about regulating those kinds of comics?" "Kids who read those end up killing people and stuff, don't they?" "But there's such a thing as freedom of expression, you know." "It's true, when we were kids comics weren't like this, were they?" "They gave us dreams and stuff." "Are we gonna talk about Kazuhiko Amamiya?" "And not Shinji Nishizono?" "Doesn't matter who." "Just like blowing away cherry blossom petals." "Like blowing away cherry blossom petals." "Let's talk about the truth." "Why did you kill her?" "She wasn't pregnant at all." "There was nothing in her stomach." "There was nothing in her shit, either." "Don't you think it was an imaginary preg..." "Don't be so mad, Mr. Detective." "You'd better tell me." "About what?" "Don't feign ignorance!" "Why'd you kill pregnant women and take away their embryos?" "And I was sure this was what you were talking about." "This is a sacred sign of the ones chosen by Lucy Monostone." "You've got one, too, don't you?" "I know we're of the same kind." "The same kind?" "You'd have killed her if I didn't." "Mr. Barcode of the same kind." "I'm not!" "I'm gonna kill you." "Can you kill me?" "Sure, I can, Shinji Nishizono." "Try and kill me, Kazuhiko Amamiya!" "Hello?" "Hello?" "I see you can do it." "Hello?" "Oh it's me, I'm about to die." "What?" "Who are you?" "Die." "I'll kill you and disappear myself." "Don't worry, I'll hush up this case." "Alright, Amamiya?" "Amamiya?" "Who on earth is Amamiya?" "I'm not Amamiya." "Who am I?" "You're Kobayashi." "Yosuke Kobayashi." "Could it be you returned to being Yosuke Kobayashi?" "I've got a great shot of the very moment Kazuhiko Amamiya killed Shinji Nishizono." "The Return of the Multiple Personality Detective Kazuhiko Amamiya" "The Memory of a Sin and Floating Flowers" "Ah!" "Here he comes." " Hello!" "Oh, you're back again already, Sasayama-san." "Hey, don't say it like that, it hurts." "You're the only friend I've got in this town, so don't be so cold with me." "So dramatic." "I'm not being dramatic." "I was a career guy of sorts and now I've been transferred to be the chief in a burb like this." "The only person I know around here is you, my ex subordinate." "I'm not the kind to make many friends to begin with." "So be nice to me." "He's right, be nice." " Thanks." "Plus, being friendly with the state authority could be advantageous in many ways." "How?" "Well, for instance to have them escort us when we need to make a fast delivery." "Ah, so I wouldn't have to get wet on a rainy day like this." "I know you don't like rain." "Yeah, I'd be happy to help you in any way you like." "'Cause we're friends, right?" "Yeah, we're friends." "But you two are really close with each other." "He's my precious husband." "Newly weds..." "It was an arranged marriage, wasn't it?" "Oh, let me tell you something in case you didn't know." "With an arranged marriage, the romance starts after the wedding." "Right?" "Did you know?" "I didn't have the slightest idea!" "It's murder!" "Give me the change next time." "Excuse us!" "The crime scene investigation is going on the body of the second female victim was found here at..." " For Real?" " So I'm on TV?" " I knew this was a live broadcast!" "Misuzu!" "I'm first." " So I look pretty on TV?" "What?" "I look fat?" "What's that?" "Has the battery run out?" "Let me see it, too!" "No, no!" "You can't!" "Another body's been found!" "What!" "?" "I see, so you wanna be a flower said the man." "Why did the guys from the metropolitan police have to come out?" "You're asking the wrong person." "First, Officer Manabe who performed the autopsy will report on the condition of the corpses." "Now, let us deliver the report." "I'm in your way, so I'll leave the rest to you." "Yes, sir." "Well, the victim's skull was cut off with a sharp knife, like this." "It left the brain exposed, with a beautiful flower growing in it." "Officer!" "What on earth is that!" "?" "Well, this is a full scratch figure." "The prototype was made with pound..." "ah, pound means fine paper clay." "That wasn't my question!" "Well, well, I apologize." "He's a so-called mania." "Aaghh!" "You just called me a mania!" "A mania... that's a prejudicial term!" "It's a decent art today, the figure making!" "So what if it's art you big fool!" "I sincerely apologize." "Isono..." "Machi." "Why did you return?" "What are you scheming this time?" "So Amamiya's been married." "His new girl looks like his ex, doesn't she?" "What's her name?" "Chizuko." "Hmm, the same name, too." "So how about him?" "Is he aware at all?" "Doesn't remember a thing." "From the day he found Chizuko's dead body in her Honda and turned into Kazuhiko Amamiya up until the day he killed Shinji Nishizono and returned to being Yosuke Kobayashi, everything is missing." "He probably doesn't remember you either." "I'm sorry." "That's fine." "I have no intention of discussing the good old days with him." "You mean to say you were never attracted to him as a man?" "I am, and always have been, only interested in his ability as a profiler." "Machi..." "Could it be..." "Yes, Shinji Nishizono is at work again." "That's a lie." "I wouldn't come all the way out here to tell you a lie." "I know you're aware of it too." "Stop it!" "Don't go near him." "If you go near Yosuke Kobayashi I'll kill you" "Ooh, I'm scared." "He's my best friend." "I want him to find happiness this time around." "So stay out of his way." "His happiness is none of my business." "I just need him." "His skills, that is." "Machi Isono, Isono Crime Research Center" "I'm opening business here." "Isono Crime Research Center?" "See you around." "Wait, Machi!" "What are you planning to do?" "Machi!" "Hello, the Station." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Is this a prank call?" "It's not a prank call." "Who is it?" "I'll tell you just one thing." "Don't answer the call that's coming in next." "What?" "Who are you?" "Yosuke..." "It must be Yosuke." "Hello, Yosuke?" "I can hear the singing voice of Lucy Monostone." "It's transferring Shinji Nishizono to someone" "Let's talk about Kazuhiko Amamiya." "So what did you wanna talk about?" "A gardener dug up a flower bed trying to change flowers on the island of a flower clock." "There he found a human flowerpot, and a woman's body was dug up." "Please stop it!" "I can't deal with dead bodies and stuff." "That's why I left the police." "Oh, that's true." "I'm sorry." "Anyway, I wonder why they'd leave it in a place so noticeable by passers-by?" "Hi!" "Welcome." "Don't be so open about your business, Toguchi." "Don't worry, we strictly observe the laws at this store... blah blah." "Here's the tape of the incident from the other day." "We can exchange it with this." "It's got it all, that stuff you're looking for." "To go?" "Or to stay?" "You know I can't take it home, you fool." "Sasayama-san, you look like a different person every time you show up." "Is everything alright?" "I don't want any sympathy from you." "I knew he'd be here too, Lucy Monostone." "OK, come over here." "Quick." "When I stand in front of the camera, press this button." "Roll it." "Really even I can't believe that the piece over there is my work." "It was there before I knew it." "I have no recollection of having made that thing." "But while I am recognized as an architect and I conform to authority perhaps my other self desired this in my heart." "Because I'm also a follower of Lucy Monostone's philosophy." "One of the flower children, so to speak." "It's a strange woman." "Let her in." "Please come in!" "I don't know why, but women come here to become flowers." "Nice to meet you." "Another tooth gone." "Can I keep the tooth?" "Do as you like." "I relax for just a second and I get this." "The race called the artiste is an extinct primate obsessed with the development of a self-portrait." "You gonna make her a flower?" "After I do you." "You're a funny thing." "Why don't you run?" "Do you want to become a flower, too?" "Isono Crime Research Center" "What are you plotting this time?" "Continuing the investigation of the pregnant women murders by the man with a barcode in his left eye." "Quit it already." "The case is closed." "It's not." "You saw how those high ranking men lined up for a hearing." "They're still on the case up there." "It's not necessarily the same case." "To begin with, it's the victims who had barcodes this time, not the offender." "It means the killers and the killed are of the same kind." "Something is about to begin among them." "Anyway, I never expected you to visit." "I wanted to ask you something." "What?" "Where is Chizuko Kobayashi?" "What're you talkin' about?" "It's you, isn't it?" "Hide Chizuko and shock the personality of Kazuhiko Amamiya into awakening." "Something you'd think of." "'Cause he went out of his mind since that day." "Out of his mind is not a nice thing to say." "Yosuke!" "How come you're here?" "Summoned." "Or threatened is more like it." "Asked to cooperate if I wanted to get Chizuko back." "I knew it Machi, it was you who plotted this!" "No, it isn't." "Sasayama-san." "What isn't?" " Shinji Nishizono?" "Yosuke do you have any idea what you're talking about?" "Shinji Nishizono is one of the personalities that emerged along with Kazuhiko Amamiya when Yosuke Kobayashi first suffered the multiple personality disorder." "Shinji Nishizono departed from Yosuke Kobayashi's physical body transferred its personality to the barcode carriers, and committed a series of murders." "The only one who know about this are you, Ms. Machi Kazuhiko Amamiya, and myself." "You thought you were Yosuke Kobayashi." "Since when?" "All along." "Since the time the first Chizuko was killed and Yosuke Kobayashi disappeared I stayed as Kazuhiko Amamiya." "I'll kill you and disappear myself." "Shinji Nishizono, by transferring himself into a barcode carrier releases the potential of the carrier as a killer and merges himself with the carrier at the same time." "What?" "Shinji Nishizono, by transferring himself into a barcode carrier releases the potential of the carrier as a killer and merges himself with the carrier at the same time." "Sounds like being possessed." "The same theory." "That's why there's been only five cases reported of multiple personality disorders including Amamiya." "In the field of cultural psychiatric medicine, it's been categorized as possession." "So it's being possessed by Nishizono instead of being possessed by the fox spirit." "Anyway, although the superficial phenomenon is hallucination the personality of Shinji Nishizono actually exists." "It's not something a psychiatrist would want to admit but it's a fact that a personality translated into a program transfers itself." "So, if the killers have Shinji Nishizono's personality transferred in them no matter how much profiling we do don't we end up with Nishizono after all?" "No." "Nishizono's personality is merely a key that unlocks the will to kill within the barcode carriers." "Nishizono's personality merges with them, but the actual murder is done according to the barcode carriers' own desires." "We should look at it as the carriers doing what they want, encouraged by Nishizono." "What is it?" "That flower is the same as those in the flower clock." "Don't say such a creepy thing." "Seika Univ..." "Here's the university." "The botanical garden." "The library." "Nothing in common." "I don't get it." "Why plant human flowerpots in such places?" "Sasayama-san, trace the border of the New Town." "How come?" "Just do it." "This is the map of a college town in the suburb of Salt Lake." "I saw it on the net, on the Lucy Monostone web site." "Lucy Monostone?" "Haven't heard that name in a while." "A failed rock musician who turned terrorist in the 60's." "This is the town where Lucy pulled off his first bombing." "At first he planted flowers in places which symbolized authority, and he called them flower bombs." "Later he employed a warfare policy and used a real bomb for the first time in this town." "How 'bout that!" "So when the drawing is turned around, this town and our New Town have the same shape." "The bombing locations and the flower locations overlap." "In Salt Lake, two more places were bombed:" "The police dept." "And the aquarium." "Huh?" "What?" "So, there are human flowerpots at our station, too?" "We'll look for them later." "This means the killer is someone who built this town." "So that means the Mayor?" "No, no, not the Mayor." "Don't say it just yet, Amamiya." "Let me do a quick profile." "Ishihara, isn't it?" "No, the one before him..." "It's Aoshima!" "No." "It's the architect." "The offender used this town to copycat Lucy Monostone's bombings." "It's no exaggeration to say he created this town because he so identified himself with Lucy." "Then why didn't he use real bombs himself?" "That's because this town is also his creation and he couldn't bear to destroy it." "The suspect is Tatsuya Ueno, 34." "6 years ago, at the young age of 28, he got involved in the general planning of this town." "Most of the main buildings in this town were planned by him." "That's all." "Alright... we'll get a warrant for his arrest." "Sasayama-san, that was great!" "Sasayama-san!" "Well-done, as expected." "Thank you, sir." "That was excellent profiling, just like Yosuke Kobayashi would do." "Yes..." "Looks like I've done it again." "I'm sorry." "You gotta run or Shinji Nishizono will come to kill you." "Who's that?" "The person who planted and grew the flowers." "It's me who did it." "It's my art." "It's Shinji Nishizono who makes you do it." "You know that, too." "I don't know anyone by that name." "I don't." "You see." "There he is." "Ah, beautiful!" "You don't have to plant the seeds to grow them." "Everyone becomes a flower and dies." "You seem to be the same kind as me." "I thought I could always run." "But you can't, looking like that." "Run... onto the net." "What?" "Thank you." "Where am I?" "What?" "What happened to me?" "You won't survive anyway, so I'll put you all to sleep." "Seven burned bodies with flowers stuck in their heads were found." "One was a male body whose fingerprints matched those of Tatsuya Ueno." "But Chizuko is alive." "There were no matching teeth." "So what are you gonna do now?" "I'll look for Chizuko." "Yeah, I guess that's the thing to do." "She was pregnant." "I see." "Hey, Amamiya, I was thinking..." "Machi has asked me to help her research center." "How about returning?" "Become a detective again with my precinct." "I'm no longer Yosuke Kobayashi." "That's alright." "Kazuhiko Amamiya or whatever." "Let's work together." "Come back." "Hey aren't we best friends?" "Thanks, but I've already decided." "From:" "Yoko Yamamoto" "I'm home." "Where's mom?" "Enter." "What a surprise, it's been a long time." "You look well." "What did you want to see me for?" "Toru..." "I'll... be sentenced to death tomorrow." "What, there are different kinds of final sentences." "You've got many capable humanitarian lawyers working for you too." "Doesn't matter now." "There's just one favor I'd like to ask you." "What is it?" "So formal..." "I want you to look for this child." "Sis, you mean you have..." "Fool!" "It's not mine." "I see... you threw me off." "Don't scare me." "27 years ago..." "It's the child of one of our comrades that we killed during the incident." "Remember a comrade of mine, a girl named Lucy?" "Yeah... the Lucy Monostone fan that strange girl who called herself Lucy." "Yeah..." "Lucy cut open the stomach of the comrade we killed and took out the baby." "Sis, it's not cool to talk about it here." "I don't care 'cause I'm gonna be sentenced to death tomorrow." "This is the mark you wanna look for." "The child had the same mark as this one." "When you find the child kill him without hesitation." "What're you saying?" "Kill it." "If you don't, the whole world's gonna change." "Wasn't a revolution your dream?" "To change the world..." "I think we probably made a mistake." "Sis..." "Kill it." "Yes..." "Yes..." "Chizuru has a fever." "Yes..." "I'd like her mother to come right away and..." "Shinji Nishizono is coming." "Hello?" "Hell..." "It's good music." "What?" "What?" "I don't want to listen..." "Now let's go." "Special school for gifted infants" "Hello?" "We've got to stop Shinji Nishizono this time." "Miyo!" "Let's go!" "Yeah, coming!" "Kazuhiko Amamiya..." "Let's talk about him."
