"I'm asking who you are?" "I'm Masaki Shibata's psychiatric assessor" "Assessor?" "You, who are you?" "What are you doing to him?" "Nothing." "We wanted to see you" "Me?" "Won't you sit down?" "I'm OK here" "Here is right..." "Don't order" "OK" "Just listen" "That night, the person who killed that housewife" "Masaki Shibata?" "That fool wouldn't have the courage" "I did it" "Did Masaki Shibata send you?" "If I wasn't there he couldn't do a thing" "Were you also the one who did this?"

"Kill him" "Kill and be free" "At that time you'll be a dead man too" "Kafuka!" "What?" "I'm OK" "That guy..." "That guy came?" "That guy?" "Who is that guy?" "The seagull" "The court reopens" "Assessment." "The accused's state is schizophrenic personality disorder(Split personality)" "At the time of the criminal incident it was the same" "Then the accused's mind was in dissociation and so, he couldn't tell good from bad, or control his actions" "The assessor is Saneyuki Fujishiro, doctor with a doctorate" "I present Fujishiro's assessment" "Prosecutor?" "I concur" "I will call Fujishiro as a witness" "I want cross questioning" "Counsel?" "Agreed" "Court adjourned" "Be standing" "Bow" "You read the brief previous report?" "Yes" "Your reaction?" "It's easy to misdiagnose a multiple personality disorder" "How did you find an alternative persona when the other doctor didn't?" "The person with a multiple personality is not able to change into the alternative persona by his own will" "I see." "So unless the doctor purposely intervenes" "The alternative persona is not shown, right?" "No" "If the interview goes well, the alternative persona should be revealed" "The expression changes" "But the fact doesn't" "You want to know that at the time..." "Is that the alternative persona?" "No." "This is the accused himself" "The director is the alternative persona" "A schizophrenic says the voice is outside," "Fora multiple personality it comes from within" "The voice is a loud voice" "The person senses a loud voice, and sometimes is directed to violence" "You can doubt the voice" "The accused talks but the alternate persona acts?" "That's right" "The symptoms match a split personality" "Avery difficult act" "You have the power to imagine and I to remember" "It's that guy" "You didn't need to come" "I spoke to your boss" "I know." "I came once more to make sure" "He said that Masaki Shibata was buried" "Why go into that thing?" "His hurt feelings then, might have changed him" "All his father's fault?" "I don't know." "Not yet" "His wife left, and Toshimitsu took to sake..." "He was violent to the boy...?" "Even though Masaki was gentle" "You say you saw a change of personality" "To someone who didn't see, it's like saying you saw a UFO" "Be more scientific, don't be subjective" "Prove it reasonably, or it's nothing" "Well, I'll prove it" "This is a contract between doctor and patient" "It is that for an agreed time he will no kill himself or anyone else" "It's to protect the safety of the assessor" "I got the accused's alternative persona to sign it too" "This is the accused, this is the alternative persona" "You can see." "The handwriting is clearly different" "The accused is right handed" "The alternative persona left handed" "The difference is a characteristic of multiple personalities" "Do you see?" "According to the postmortem doctor" "The person who knifed the woman was left handed" "Wait!" "He could make contracts but not take responsibility?" "Don't get it wrong" "The alternate persona isn't a person" "He just acts like one" "He is a jumble of memories, feelings, conflicts impulses" "It's just one part of a character" "Well, where is the accused?" "Who killed the victim?" "The Prosecutor's Office" "Uh, Mr. Kusama" "Just before, I should have spoken..." "I'm late saying this" "Yes." "What is it?" "Will you withdraw your prosecution?" "The assessment's wrong" "What?" "You took part in the assessment" "I just got out the data" "The conclusion was Professor's" "I came to a different conclusion" "What are you saying?" "Probably Shibata is just putting on the disorder" "It's faked" "The basis for that?" "In assessment, his alternate persona throttled me" "The professor says it can kill indiscriminately, like a game" "But me," "I didn't sense a will to kill" "Say it again please" "I felt no will to kill" "What did you say just now?" "The court fora re-assessment by me" "That's a demand from the prosecutor" "Yes." "I sounded out the prosecutor" "I'm sorry" "Why sorry?" "Opinions differ" "Do as you like" "Thanks" "Yes" "Mum, you got this number?" "There's something I've always hidden from you" "I'm busy" "Sorry, I'm ringing off" "Detective Nagoshi, Metropolitan Police" "Your opinion about feigned sickness" "I've doubts" "I'd like to hear his opinion" "What is it?" "Motive" "Lacking an emotional explosion motive is not possible" "With such a violent method of murder" "Well there should be some motive" "Atypical assessor." "Make up a motive" "Mr. Nagoshi" "Megumi husband, Osamu Hatada, at 15 killed someone in Aichi but was not convicted" "It was in the family court" "You hid that?" "Everybody knows" "Shibata and Hatada are not connected" "At the time that fellow was in Niigata" "It's ironic" "This victim also got off on a psychiatric assessment" "Case closed?" "For me it is" "The arrest ends it?" "Yes" "If you don't end it, the case goes on forever" "Is there something new?" "No, not yet" "An assessment goes this far?" "OK?" "Go ahead" "That incident involved primary school girls" "Three" "The crime gradually escalated" "The third was killed" "From Tokyo" "A woman..." "The victim was Atsuko Kudo" "First year primary school" "Yes." "That child" "Her brother Keisuke Kudo discovered the body" "He was then second year middle school" "He looked for his sister all night" "It was a great shock" "When the offender was caught he was the same age" "He was a youngster" "You got a case here?" "Is that sarcasm?" "Just asking" "Excuse me" "Sorry to intrude" "Iwaki." "I handled Keisuke" "Where is he?" "Do you know?" "He changed school after that" "I don't know then" "It's a small town, you know" "What was his new school?" "Wait" "I know where he is" "I got a card from him" "Look" "Thanks" "That old business?" "Don't contact my husband." "It's finished" "I understand" "My husband doesn't want any news" "Where's you husband's family now?" "They're gone now" "The father when he was a child, the mother through grief" "Please" "I'm back" "I don't want to think about that thing any more" "It's painful, but the offender was murdered" "What do you think?" "Nothing" "I've no connection now" "Finished" "That's right." "It's nothing to do with my husband" "Go home" "All right" "Have you got a license?" "Can I see it?" "Thanks" "Sorry" "The teacher Iwaki was glad to get your card" "Mikako!" "Mikako!" "This happens when sensitive people are detectives" "Are you envious of psychiatric assessors?" "Not likely" "They get your offenders off indictment, that's a different question" "Say that to Keisuke Kudo" "You're quiet" "You're strange" "Were you a gentle lover?" "Uh?" "I mean Ophelia" "Didn't his pretending madness make him mad?" "What's that?" "Didn't his pretending madness and saw ghostly illusions, he took revenge by killing himself" "Let go" "Eh?" "I'll call the warder" "Tell me!" "This is no assessment!" "Yes" "This isn't a psychiatric assessment..." "We're meeting, and talking" "Your voice" "Let me hear it" "Come" "At art like you, using dirty looks on that guy" "What's up?" "Squeeze my neck" "Filthy breath" "Let's fix it..." "Let's fix it" "Fix it!" "Fix it!" "Fix it!" "Fix it!" "I'm telling you" "Don't come near me" "Don't come near that guy" "Am I scary?" "I'm saying it for you" "Gently, eh?" "I'm back" "I'm back" "Come in" "Dad's coffee mill out!" "It's a pity for it to get too dusty" "Yes" "Mum..." "Listen to what I've got to say calmly" "You're thinking about Dad?" "I've kept it from you, but that was really my fault" "I said I didn't like that person, so your father killed him" "I told you I was concerned about him" "Dad certainly remembered my words, that I didn't like that person" "I've heard that before" "Before?" "I'm first saying it now" "Yes." "It is the first time" "That was it" "So it wasn't your fault" "It's all right" "You don't understand Father's feeling" "I don't?" "Kafuka..." "People don't go away because they die" "They can be much closer after they die" "Don't pretend" "You're acting, Mum" "Are you saying that to stop me?" "Do you like tying me up like that?" "10 years after leaving harbor town," "Shibata met his father here" "Why did young Shibata come here?" "Was he looking for his father from the beginning?" "Did you know Toshimitsu?" "Well, he was my neighbor" "Masaki Shibata." "Was he here?" "Came to Toshi's place" "Don't need a beach house." "No time to go" "No Pachinko" "The good fish all comes to Tokyo" "Evening" "Masaki, come in!" "Fried chicken." "Good sauce" "I like the sauce" "He was a really good son" "Toshi took rooms fora while" "Cause they lived together, see?" "Toshi said something funny" "My son is living." "Living?" "My son is living, did he say?" "Toshimitsu Shibata said that, didn't he!" "?" "Yes" "He felt his son had died" "Masaki Shibata had died?" "There was no death notice" "That's not death" "Is the person with memories of seagulls different?" "So quick" "Masaki Shibata" "Born 20th of September 1966" "Niigata Prefecture, West Kubiki County," "Nou Town, Tsutsuishi" "Father, Toshimitsu Shibata" "Mother left" "Only child" "Played alone" "Don't move" "Don't move" "You're OK?" "Yep" "Go home alone" "Yep" "What's that?" "Away back my father killed someone" "Away back, my father killed someone" "He was a gentle father." "He taught at high school" "He named me" "He was drinking" "Dad got into an argument with a teaching colleague who was playing up" "The next morning the police were lying in wait outside" "Mum and I saw it" "Dad looked at us anguished" "He jumped on the road" "A car came..." "Even now I can't forget" "I can't justify it" "Why did Dad run away?" "Why did he run from his crime?" "I always thought of it, because I respected him" "I loved him" "Come to think of it, I majored in psychology" "I want to understand his feelings at that time" "That way I'll be able to accept myself" "My father's pen" "I always use it for assessments" "You're the first person I've spoken to about this" "Good story" "Invented but I felt tears" "Invented?" "So why?" "Sorry" "It's a lie" "I mustn't lie" "Why did you do that?" "Why do such things?" "Hi" "Hi" "See there, there's lots of beetles" "Come with me?" "Uh...?" "Come on" "ForAtsuko" "Thank you" "I'm back" "You're late today" "Yeah" "Where's Atsuko?" "Uh, isn't she with you?" "Keisuke, what happened?" "I assess the accused as having Dramatic Amnesia, or else Hollywood Amnesia" "I'll ask you frankly" "That dramatic amnesia" "What on earth is it?" "Sudden loss of memory" "It's sometimes pretending amnesia about one's life history" "Malingering" "It's a pretend illness?" "Well then, I shall ask your assessor" "At the time of the crime, the accused was putting on that amnesia?" "That's right" "The basis?" "Assessor, your assessment is too subjective, it has no basis" "This diagnostic record consists of your talking, and the accused's reaction" "Do you call this an assessment?" "The grounds don't go beyond the data" "Beyond data?" "I met with the accused, and wrote what I felt" "Well... just wrote it down" "So... there's nothing to say" "Your honor!" "An opinion has come from Fujishiro about Ogawa's assessment" "I submit it for the next sitting" "I'll call Fujishiro as witness" "Prosecutor?" "Agreed" "That's not settled" "You gave a bad impression" "Backing the data up is everything in the court" "There's a way for the offender" "To avoid the assessment" "But not the assessor" "A specialist could stop that" "You're getting conceited" "Maybe" "But nobody can stop him" "Nothing from Nagoshi?" "If it stays like this..." "I've got a request" "This is a psychological test called the Baum test" "It's the accused's tree" "The person who got this is in fact my assistant assessor Ogawa" "A normal person when asked to draw a tree draws one tree" "When someone draws a number of trees, it shows they have a multiple personality" "It might be coincidence" "One projects oneself into the pictures one draws" "A coincidence is unlikely" "Look at this tree carefully please" "It's as if the accused were floating in the air and looking down from above" "This shows a great gap between the observing self and the objective self" "It is seen that the accused's unusual symptoms are not made up" "But are naturally occurring genuine symptoms" "You were the testing assessor" "How do you see those test pictures?" "I think they are perfect" "So you detect an irregularity in perfection?" "A picture with no irregularity is perfectly made" "From his scholastic and employment record, is that possible?" "Very intelligent" "Is there any evidence that the accused has read any psychiatric books?" "No" "Even without gaining information, can this be understood through high intelligence alone?" "No one knows where the accused has been and done" "That means you too?" "Yes" "I conclude" "Say when finished" "Witness stand down" "Your Honor" "What is it?" "A question" "What is it?" "Have you got something from this assessment?" "What?" "I don't understand" "I don't see the accused's feelings" "What moved the accused's feelings," "I can't understand from the data" "For Japan, this hearing is the first full multiple personality case I think" "What is it?" "I'd like an open assessment to have what the judge saw as evidence" "That can't be agreed to" "You disagree?" "Of course!" "What about the accused's human rights?" "I..." "The accused, speak please" "I think it's OK" "This hearing has been going on without me" "I'm sane" "What?" "Counsel, silence" "Hear the accused's idea" "I'm no multiple personality" "Anyway I want to be executed quickly" "Has the accused's statement been heard?" "Because he speaks like this he is deranged" "He just thinks he's not" "Counsel, avoid self-prompted opinions" "Well, we'll adopt the request" "How much longer?" "Nothing is finished yet" "Aren't you supporting the accused too much?" "It's a positive reverse movement" "There should be a good result for the accused..." "That's your way of loving!" "Is it?" "I'm worried... about you..." "I'm extremely worried..." "You have the quality to be an assessor" "I don't want it wasted" "When did you go from a doctor to an assessor?" "Should I reveal it?" "A doctor and an assessor helping someone are different" "Of course" "It's just taking them out of error" "You diagnose, but can't guarantee their care" "Was the victim in this case given enough help in the past?" "I have doubts" "Do you want to assess the laws?" "No" "I want to face Shibata before the law" "What is it?" "You're not Masaki Shibata" "Who am I?" "Keisuke Kudo" "Keisuke..." "Kudo?" "Kudo, Hatada killed your sister" "A motiveless murder" "That was your object" "You needed to change your identity" "You looked for someone to sell their identity and met Toshimitsu Shibata" "You passed yourself off as his son" "Masaki Shibata's identity" "suited you just fine" "Masaki Shibata is dead" "You knew, but you convinced him his son was living" "Of course there is no proof" "Toshimitsu is dead now, and it is a lasting riddle" "And the Keisuke Kudo you set up, and his wife, disappeared somewhere" "This is not true" "So then, what is the truth?" "I don't know" "No, you know" "The truth about you is that you were the first to discover your sister's body" "Throttled, and bleeding from her private parts" "Her wrist cut off" "The person who played with that hand, masturbated with it in his room, escaped responsibility in court, walked about high handed" "He went to university, got work and married" "He escaped but not you and your sister" "He built a bright life" "Some contradiction" "Obvious injustice" "Truly, you writhed in agony within that contradiction" "Eh, Shibata" "Hasn't all been said?" "You killed Hatada's wife, who did nothing" "What greater revenge is there?" "Daddy is my brother" "A decision was delivered:" "No punishment" "None?" "Yes, he was sick" "The Law will put him in an institution" "Won't he be punished?" "Executed?" "Well really, it wasn't his fault" "He's only 15." "He can't be executed" "I know your feelings" "But as he gets better, if guilt grows..." "Why not execute!" "Why care for him?" "Think it as an accident" "An accident" "Your sister wishes that" "Here's recompense from his parents, to express their feelings" "Why..." "Aren't they coming?" "Everyone in this are like victims" "Please understand" "Go away" "Just go away!" "OK..." "I understand..." "Do as you like" "You like plays" "You should have stuck to plays, without killing" "I think so" "This is Keisuke notebook" "Notebook?" "I brought this from Mikako" "She'll be hunting me desperately" "I am not the Kudo who wrote this" "Mikako loves the real Keisuke Kudo..." "Masaki Shibata" "His sister's death was all" "Kudo and that Mikako's life were destroyed by that incident" "Mikako will help Kudo, whatever" "When I hold her I am a stranger, and she guards me always" "Please, help that woman" "Give Kudo back to her" "I beg you" "Oh." "You've even got a room ready for me" "Mikako" "Mikako Kudo." "She's your woman" "Wife?" "Not Sunaoka..." "Keisuke Kudo" "The condition of marrying is to lend your identity" "But, if I say I don't want to?" "I'll tell the debt collector" "That's if I don't like her" "Tomorrow you two register" "What's up?" "Discuss the future with her" "Wait, Kudo" "That's it" "So what am I going to call him from now on?" "Won't meet" "What are you doing?" "Come on" "He didn't need to do that" "Ah, still, it's OK" "Look after me" "Because he's feeling pain" "Before you're hurt you're ordered to hurt someone" "When I'm hurt, that guy appears and tells me to kill them" "If you resist?" "Mum..." "What?" "There's something I've hidden" "You know I also said to Dad" "I disliked that person" "I've been blaming myself" "Saying, it wasn't my real father, assuming that" "But that was wrong" "I realized at last" "You thought the same thing..." "No matter what happened there was one thing I wanted to go on believing" "Dad didn't run away his own sin" "He redeemed himself" "Just that thought, I don't want to doubt" "Good" "Thanks" "Mum, rice on you" "Public hearing" "Swear in the witness" "I can't" "I'm not a witness" "I'm the accused's psychiatric assessor" "As an assessor I may say things which are not fact" "I may say some untruth" "The person cannot be stirred only by evidence" "That's an assessment" "I see" "Our purpose is to investigate the accused's mental state" "It won't be competent as evidence" "So we won't allow objections during assessment" "All right?" "Yes" "Counsel?" "Agreed" "Prosecutor?" "Agreed" "Accused, forward" "Assessor, begin" "Before I start, I will hand over this" "Be sure this is not unsealed before the assessment is finished" "Well, I'd like to start" "Have you loved anyone?" "If you commit a crime and there is no resistance, but they go along with your strength" "That way of loving." "You know?" "I don't understand" "This is a fictitious story" "Think of it as one of the inventions that you like" "Two people went to see a man" "That man, who is he?" "In the past he committed a crime" "But responsibility for it was taken away by the law" "They hesitated, but to go on with life, they chanced it" "If that man was as the court said, and he could redeem his sin, they might treat the past as an accident" "Osamu Hatada was given Lenient release and he was sent away long ago" "You mean he's healed?" "Yes" "When?" "1982 February 10th" "He was in hospital 6 months" "Where." "Where did he go?" "It's against the rules to say" "Oi!" "Keep out" "No go, you can't go in" "What have you got?" "Aaa" "Well, from here it's my questioning" "What was it that got you into plays?" "I liked the stage" "At the time didn't the seagull say anything?" "That guy was laughing" "How like?" "From my ear." "Overflowing" "Really the seagull is inside you, isn't it?" "Feels like it" "Has the seagull told you to stop?" "He said we should try" "Then that guy began to cooperate, to manipulate me" "Why did the seagull cooperate with you?" "Why did the seagull cooperate with you?" "Because that guy always got to taste my pain" "Why's that?" "Because I'm weak" "I'm weak" "Because when I'm hurt that guy feels the pain" "So before you are hurt, he orders you to hurt someone, does he?" "Whenever someone annoys me, that guy always appears" "Tells me to kill" "What if you resist that?" "What if you resist that?" "Memory fades" "That guy punishes me" "That guy uses my body to do terrible things without worrying" "Why do you want to be executed?" "Your Honor, I protest the assessment" "The assessor may trick the accused, and lead him to a biased conclusion" "That's assumption, and Counsel's objection is influencing the accused" "Objection overruled Assessor continue" "Why are you seeking execution?" "Answer please" "At this hearing instead of judging yourself can you judge seagull?" "Your Honor!" "The court must decide" "Be quiet" "No one can judge that guy" "He's the devil" "He wants me dead" "No..." "Really it's you who has been using the seagull" "Stop."
