" In this world," " In this world, there is nothing that's fair." "Nothing." " An eye for an eye." " Revenge for revenge." "Unfair for unfair." "Please... don't..." "In our country, it's been said that serial murders committed for psychological gratification are very rare." "That's because in our country, we tend to limit the timeframe of the serial murders to a short period of a few months." "The perception should change once you look at it in terms of periods over 10, 20 years." "Unable forget the pleasure of killing once they experience it, serial killers who go on to commit more murders for their pleasure do exist in our country." "And that madness becomes more evident with every crime they commit." "Did you post this?" "In other words, the most effective way to stop violent crimes is to eliminate unresolved cases." "This is where profiling should be utilized." "Fortunately, with the abolishment of the statute of limitations in April of this year, it is now possible to continue investigating unresolved cases." "Still, it's the reality as more time elapses, evidence and eyewitness testimonies will be harder to find." "However, with profiling, it would be possible to narrow down the suspect's personality and predict future behavior by analyzing the behavior at the time of the incident." " Excuse me." " Yamaji-kun!" "Quiet, please." "You're preventing us from hearing this very important lecture." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Yamaji-kun!" "The official who planned this is coming soon to observe." "Bear with it until then." "All you have to do is sit there." "Sorry." "Why won't you look for him?" "I told you my father's missing." "That's why I told you to contact your local police." "That local police brushed me off," " so that's why I'm here." " Okay, okay." "Look..." "Ow..." "I'm arresting you for obstruction of official duties." "I'm Mochizuki." "Assigned to the First Investigative" "Division, Special Investigations Team effective tomorrow." "I'll take care of her." "Kana-chan?" " Shall we go then?" "Yes." "Name, Mizuno Yoshiyuki-san." "Occupation, system engineer." "He hasn't been to work, and won't even pick up his cell phone." "I see." "I can understand why you're worried." "Kana-chan, wait here for a minute." "Here." " Eating something sweet will pick you up." " Thank you." " Do you have a picture of your dad or something?" " Yes, I do." "I'm Mochizuki Akira." "I've been assigned to the Special Investigations Team." "I'll be starting tomorrow." "I look forward to working with you." " Excuse me." " Huh?" "Where can I find the form to report a missing person?" "Form for missing person?" "What do you need that for?" "Um..." " Huh?" " Hey, Rookie." "Special Investigations, Mochizuki speaking." "I kidnapped four men." "Kidnapped four men?" "I'm reading out their names." "Kuranishi Jun. Tamura Hajime." "Asanuma Ryoichi." "Asanuma Ryoichi." " Mizuno Yoshiyuki." " Mizuno Yoshi..." "Mizuno Yoshiyuki?" "If you want the hostages to be released," " Make Tokyo Tower summer." " Make Tokyo Tower summer?" "Time limit is tonight at 7:15." "Wait a minute." "Is that what you guys are demanding?" "A response straight out of the manual." "What?" "By saying "you guys" you're trying to find out if" "I'm acting alone or if I'm in a group." "Isn't that right?" "Familiar with crime investigations..." "did you make a note of that?" "Never mind." "I'll tell you." "I don't have any accomplices." "You're not gonna make it if you don't hurry." "Mochizuki-san." "Hello?" "Hello!" "Excuse me, but where's the Chief?" " Forget it." "It's just a prank." " What?" "We get calls like that several times a month." "Yes, but one of the hostages..." "I swear, I don't know where the hell these people get our phone number." " I'll have to report it to the Chief." " You can't..." "He's in profile training in the conference room right now." "Besides, it's no use reporting anything to our Chief." "All that guy does is sit there." "But I'll go tell him anyway." " What?" " Hey, Rookie!" "Kana-chan." "I promise to call you later, so go home for today." " Did something happen?" " Kinda." "But I'll make sure we look for your dad." "Sorry." "Does that mean you're going to LA?" "Didn't you get transferred to Hokkaido?" "What?" "Hey, Yukihira!" "Hey!" " Whoa." "Hey!" " Sorry, sorry." "Ahh, excuse me." "Where's the profile training being conducted?" "Conference Room No. 3 on the 7th floor." "Not that way." " This way." " Thank you very much." " Hey." " Yes?" " What happened?" " Group kidnapping." "Group kidnapping." "Due to the development in communications infrastructure, there's a wide range of criminal behavior patterns now." "This is why traditional..." "Excuse me!" " What is it?" "!" " I'm looking for the Chief of Special Investigations Team." "We have a case of group kidnapping." "The kidnapper contacted Special Investigations directly." "Who the heck are you?" "I'm Mochizuki, your new member." "But that aside..." "We're in an important meeting." "Talk to me later." "But he's saying he's taken four hostages." "So what's his demand?" "To make Tokyo Tower summer by 7:15 tonight." "Yeah, right." "Thank you very much." "Wait, wai..." "What are you doing?" "!" "That's what I'd like to ask." " Let go!" " I'm sorry!" "I wasn't thinking..." "That kind of demand is not to be taken seriously." "It's a prank." "You're just wasting your time if you take them seriously." "But his call came directly to Special Investigations." "That's precisely why." "In kidnapping cases, calls are usually made to the hostage's home." "Unless we're talking about terrorists." "Aren't you jumping to conclusions?" "Sensei." "Listen..." "Isn't it possible that he's making this ridiculous demand to trifle with the police?" "The power control type." "In other words, if the criminal's the type who wants to flaunt his power to control someone, his behavior isn't that unnatural." "I've been doing this for a long time so I know." "Besides, there's no way we can meet this kind of demand." "But you haven't even thought of anything." "Hey." "You don't start till tomorrow, right?" "Outsiders aren't allowed." "Get out." "Fine." "Then I'll work on it, even if I'm the only one." "Just when we thought Yukihira was gone, here comes more trouble." "Please continue, Sensei." "Are you really going to ignore the kidnapper?" "It's nothing that you should be concerned with, Sensei." " You sure made a flashy debut there." " Huh?" "Excuse me for not introducing myself sooner." "I'm Mikami, medical examiner with the Forensics Department." "I'm what you might call a multipurpose guy," " in a league of my own here..." " Did you want something?" "Here." "Call record." "What do you mean point of origin unknown?" "Looks like he used an internet phone service to make the call." "That being said, the service provider's been identified." "I've placed a call to the provider as well." "Thank you." "So when we will know the identity?" " Probably not till tomorrow." " That's too late." "We've got to somehow meet the kidnapper's demand." "I think that might be impossible." "It takes quite a bit of time to do that." "What?" "Do you know how Tokyo Tower" " can be made summer?" " More or less." " Come in." " Excuse me." "Have a seat." "Let's see now." "Tokyo Tower's lit up by 180 light bulbs." "And 9 months out of the year, it's like this." "The winter version with orange lights." "The remaining 3 months, during the summer, it's adorned with these white lights." "In other words, Tokyo Tower can be made summer by switching over to the summer lights?" " Exactly." " Let's request" " Tokyo Tower to cooperate immediately." " Yeah, well... but that's easier said than done." "Every year, it takes 15 professional people all day to replace the lights." "Even if you called right away, there's not enough time." " What the..." " Oh, one more thing." "In regards to the hostages, of the four that were named, three had a missing person report filed." "But..." "The one person who doesn't have one filed, is he Mizuno Yoshiyuki?" " That's right." " Mizuno Yoshiyuki is missing too." "His family was here to file a missing person report." "Whaat?" "Yukihira Natsumi" "Found this when I was cleaning my room." "Yukihira" "What's she thinking." "Please set up a special task force immediately." "We can't investigate unless we get orders from the top." "That's how the police operates." "The four men named by the kidnapper are all reported missing." "Are you still going to treat it as a prank?" "Please talk to the Director." "That's impossible." "Don't you care if anything happens the hostages?" "Let me tell you something." "Getting all fired up won't get you anywhere." "I want you to make sure that rookie understands" "ASAP that she's a member of an organization." "You understand what I'm saying, don't you, Yamaji-kun?" "I understand all four hostages are reported as missing." "Am I supposed to say it wasn't a prank after all?" "At the expense of the First Investigative Division's reputation?" "We'll move once a body is found or something." "Strictly as a murder case." "Kana-chan." "About your dad, leave it to the police, okay?" "Okay, bye." "[Time limit is 7:15]" "[If you want the hostages to be released, [make Tokyo Tower summer.]" "Mocchy, you wear suits, huh?" "You look like a lady today." "It's not because I want people to know I'm a woman." "Just social etiquette as a member of the society." "Attention!" "Salute!" "The body of a middle-aged man was found near Tokyo Tower this morning." "Specially for this murder case, the Criminal and Special" "Investigations Teams will perform a joint investigation." "A special task force will be established at the MPD HQ." "I, the Director of First Investigative Division, will take the lead." "Furthermore, as a test case, we will have Researcher Motosonobe from the Crime Lab participate in the investigation as well." "First of all, the identity of the victim." "Sakamoto!" "Yes." "The victim is Asanuma Ryoichi, 43 years old." "He's a doctor at a hospital in Tokyo." "Single." "He hasn't been at work for the past 3 days, and a missing person report was filed by his workplace." " Moreover..." " Next, the body." " Mikami." " Yes." "From the fact that there was a rope mark on the neck, asphyxiation from strangulation is the direct cause of death." "However, no abrasions were noted, and it is believed that the victim was unconscious when he was strangled." " In my opinion..." " The victim was extremely debilitated." "He probably would have died if left unattended." "The fact that the kidnapper nevertheless made it a point to strangle the victim means he's feeling extreme anger." "Anger." "[Punishment for ignoring me.] I speculate that this message is an expression of anger towards the society that looked down on him." "The kidnapper is sure to make another demand." "And if we don't meet that demand, he won't hesitate to kill the hostages." "Sensei." "What are you saying?" "This is simply a murder case." "There are no hostages." "But you know that the kidnapper made a call to Special Investigations yesterday." "What's more, the victim is one of the hostages named by the kidnapper." "This is a kidnap murder case." "I have no such report from the Special Investigations." "You know I reported it to you." "Plus, it's been determined that the call was made from Asanuma-san's phone." "Rookie, sit down." " I can't accept this." " Enough already." "Sit down." "Hereafter, the Criminal Investigations Team will begin investigating the murder case." "The Special Investigations Team will stand by at" "HQ to support the Criminal Investigations Team." "I assume you already know, but this case is not to be leaked to the outside." "Dismissed." "Bullshit!" "Now, now." "Drink this and calm down." "Okay?" "What the hell is that Yamaji guy?" "He's totally unmotivated." "And he's supposedly the Chief of the Special Investigations Team." "He used to be a more voracious guy in the past." "Anyway, Yamaji-san's been through a lot too." "Do you remember when the police hospital was seized 3 years ago?" "That was a dreadful incident." "The police hospital in Toyosu was seized by terrorists..." "[What about the hostages?" "What's their demand?" "]" "The commissioner general became the hostage." "Not only that, all the citizens of Tokyo were hostages." "Of bioterrorism." "Yamaji-san was the one tasked with taking command at the scene." "Yamaji-san lost a lot in that incident." "His colleague." "And even the loved one he trusted." "The ones who caused the incident were all members of the police force." "In other words, it was a coups d'etat." "From within the police organization." "Among those members were his colleague and his lover." "Yamaji-san was betrayed by the people he trusted." "Ever since then, Yamaji-san can't trust anything." "People, police, even his own beliefs." "So you're saying it can't be helped?" "He's still going through the healing process." "But reality isn't always kind to everyone." "No matter what your circumstances are, criminals won't wait." "Look, Mocchy." "Thank you for the drink." "Excuse me, but which desk can I use?" "Oh, that one" "What are all these files?" "They belonged to Yukihira-san who transferred." "She said they can be thrown out." "Hello, Special Investigations." "Mochizuki, for you on line 3." "Hello, this is Mochizuki." "Morning, Mochizuki-san." "You're the one who called yesterday." "The suspect's on line 3." "Director, the suspect's on the line." "Trace the call!" "Did you find the consolation prize?" " Consolation prize?" " You know, the first body." " I left a message there too." " You killed him, didn't you?" "Don't you have to respond according to the manual?" "Never mind that." "The hostages." "They're alright, aren't they?" "Do you want to save them?" "Then make me the most famous person in Tokyo by 11:15 this morning." "From Odaiba would be nice." "You know what'll happen if you don't, right?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "What does he mean?" "Does he want us to publicize the incident?" "If we do that, he can certainly become the most famous man in Tokyo." "Chief, this is a demand we can meet." " Let's contact the media immediately..." " No, you can't" " do such a thing." " Why not?" "This is a chance for us to rescue the hostages." "Yamaji-kun." "Kindly explain to this rookie." "If we announce it to the media to meet the demand, the responsibility of the First Investigative Division will be questioned." "We will be held accountable the death of the first hostage because of our" " misjudgment at the beginning of the investigation." " Even so!" "All Special Investigations Team need to do is respond to the Criminal Investigations Team's request." " Director." " Did you trace the call?" "No." "The call was made through an internet phone again." "Tell them to hurry up and hone in on the suspect." "Look for individuals with prior criminal records who were hanging around the victims." " Yes." " Director, that won't work." "According to my profiling, more than likely, the kidnapper doesn't have any prior record, and the victims have no connection to each other." "Presenting a ridiculous challenge and making the police look stupid." "This type of method is used frequently by people with a history of unjustified resentment towards the police." "Even so, his behavior is too audacious." "I get it." "If he's the kind of person Director's talking about, he would be identified right away." "It would be too risky for him to" " contact us directly, wouldn't it?" " Exactly." "Also, seeing that he's quite precise with his designation of time, my guess is that he's obsessed with time." "The kidnapper himself may be pressed for time." "For example, he may be dying." "If he doesn't have much time, it's likely that he's mentally unstable" " and given in to despair." " However, it's impossible to zero in on the suspect with what little information we have at this point." " If that's the case, we should meet the demand..." " Okay, okay, Sensei." "There's no need for you to get all fired up." " What?" " No matter what happens," "I'll tell the top that your profiling was very helpful in resolving this case." "That should make you happy." "I'm not saying all this for that kind of purpose." "I, too, want to save the hostages." "The kidnapper will kill the hostages without mercy." "Is maintaining the reputation of the police more important than the hostages' lives?" "I will not give in to the demand!" "That's my final decision as the person in charge of this investigation." "Runaway vehicle found." "The suspect is fleeing towards Shinjuku on Yamate Boulevard." "The suspect is wielding a knife and is on the run after robbing 50,000 yen." "Take precautions against injury accidents." "Over." "MPD." "Excuse me." "I'm with the police." " Please get me on TV." " Huh?" "There's something I absolutely have to say." "Just 10, no, 5 seconds." "Please." "That's out of the question." "Please!" "Stop." "Idiot." "Iwasaki, let's go." "Please." "Please cooperate with us." "If you want to be on that much, why don't you go jump off that bridge or something." "That'd be like breaking news." "Alright." "Hey, I was just kidding!" "Hey, someone stop her!" "Stop, stop." "Stop, stop!" " Let go!" " Wait!" "Don't take cops lightly!" "What are you doing?" "!" "Please get out of my way." "Are you stupid?" "Look over there." "Those guys got no intention of filming you." "We had a record high temperature." "Tomorrow, lower..." "Do you understand what you were about to do?" "I tried to save the hostages by meeting the kidnapper's demand." "Does that warrant a reprimand?" "I became a police officer to save people." "I haven't done anything wrong." "Even if you risk your life, nothing's gonna change." "Calm down before you make a decision." "I can't possibly remain calm." "The hostages' lives are in danger." "There's nothing we can do." "Why are you here?" "If you're going to abandon your duties using your past as an excuse, you might as well get the hell out of here." "The work of a detective isn't something you do for the pay." "Mocchy, you're way out of line." "If only you had faced crime more seriously, there surely must have been many incidents you could've stopped." "Am I wrong?" "Is anything going to change if you keep on looking the other way?" "You're a coward." " I was too harsh, wasn't I?" " No." "However, I think what Yamaji-san said is the reality." "But there's no need for you to back down either." "Unless someone throws in a rock, there won't be any ripples." "I'm frustrated too." "No one thinks that profiling could be useful." "Not only that, they won't even learn about it." "My students know more about it than the police." " Students?" " Yes." "Twice a month, I give a lecture on profiling as a volunteer." "In hopes that it would deter crime." "A volunteer." "That's really admirable." " Thank you for waiting." " Thanks." " Thank you." " So, let's do our best and resolve this case together." "You're right." "I can't get discouraged." "Shall we eat?" "Hey." "You'll get to see something interesting." "You like it too, don't you?" "Were you aspiring to be a detective too, Motosonobe-san?" "Yes, but I'm not very athletic so" "I gave it up." "How about you, Mochizuki-san?" "Why did you become a detective?" "Oh..." "I..." "[Akira-chan.]" "[A get well present.]" "[From the knight in shining armor who saved you.]" "Mochizuki-san?" "Oh." "Maybe the influence of TV?" "[Is anything going to change if [if you keep on looking the other way?" "]" "Women are amazing, aren't they?" "Take Yukihira and Mocchy..." "How can they be so straight-forwardly passionate?" "Is it because they have a past they can't forget?" "I was surprised when I found out that Mocchy was kidnapped as a child." "It's not mentioned there, but it seems she wasn't just kidnapped." "I can see why she has an almost abnormal sense of justice." "The way she's dressed like a boy all the time must be an expression of her desire to never go through that experience again." "She, too, is desperately battling her past." "[You're gonna be alright.]" "[Let's go home to your mommy." "Okay?" "Good girl.]" "[Alright." "Let's go home.]" "Mochizuki." " What happened?" " A body's been found." "In Odaiba." "The victim is an employee of a publishing firm, Kuranishi Jun, 38 years old." "Rope marks on his neck and wrists." "No abrasions noted." "Also, what looks to be necrosis was detected on the finger tips of both hands." " And..." " By necrosis, do you mean frostbite?" "Probably." "He must have been held captive in a cold place." "The kidnapper tortured him slowly in the cold and finally strangled him." "Something like that?" "That's too cruel." "[Don't." "Stop." "Don't come.]" "Fingerprints other than the victim's have been found." "Alright!" "We can identify the kidnapper now." "The case is as good as closed." "I swear, make me come all the way out here." "Hey, put all this stuff away." "How dare you rejoice in front of the body." "That man was killed because of you erred in your judgment." "He didn't have any idea what happened or where he was." "He must have been terrified." "Even more terrified at the thought of not seeing his family again." "How many times do you think he called out for help!" " That's enough." " Hey, stop it." "Apologize to the victim and his family." "I said apologize!" "You're suspended." "Get off this case right now!" "Yamaji-kun." "Why don't you say something?" "I'm not taking her off this case." " Yamaji-kun, what do you mean?" " I can't comply with your ridiculous order to reduce manpower in the middle of a big case." "Hey, Yamaji." "This is obviously a kidnap murder case!" "Our top priority is to rescue the hostages!" "Yamaji-kun, I don't think you understand your position." "Phone's ringing." "Hey, Rookie, answer it." "Turn on the speaker phone." "Hello." "Don't ignore me." "If you do, there will be more bodies." "Stop making innocent people suffer!" "Here's a problem for you." "If you can solve this problem, I'll release the hostages." "Do you think this is a joke or something?" "I'll never forgive you." "Hey." "Let's hear it." "That so-called problem." "Close to the two men raging after being robbed of their names." "I'll be looking at the flowers." "Come here." "Time limit is 15:00." "Yamaji-kun." "I'll leave the rescue of the hostages to Special Investigations." "You know what will happen if you can't rescue them, right?" "You bet." "You'll take the credit but we're stuck with the mess." "Right?" "We're going back!" "We'll have to identify the kidnapper." "Sensei." "Let's go." " Yes, but..." " We're leaving!" " Sakamoto." " Yes." "What now, Chief?" "Two men raging after being robbed of their names." "The hostages?" "Meaning their names haven't been publicized?" "But there's absolutely no way we can even come up with where the hostages are being kept." "Excuse me." "Regarding that problem." "It might be referring to a well-known place in Tokyo." "Well-known place?" "The kidnapper was hung up on Tokyo for some reason." "That's true." "First, it was Tokyo Tower and then he wanted to be most famous in Tokyo, wasn't it?" "Although where that place is, I don't know." "But if that could provide a hint..." "See you around then." " A well-known place in Tokyo." " Oh!" "Got it!" "Where is it, Mikami-san?" "Hurry up and take us there!" "Let's go!" "Mikami-san, do I take a right or go straight?" " Right." " Okay." "Mocchy!" "Kaminarimon in Asakusa was known as Furaijinmon in the old days." "But over time, it came to be known as Kaminarimon." "In other words, Fujin (god of wind) and Raijin" "(god of thunder) were robbed of their names." "Plus, wind and thunder could indicate a storm." "That would fit the "raging" part." "And speaking of flowers near there, that would be Hanayashiki*. (*Hana=flower)" "I'm positive this is the place!" "Look for a cardboard box." "Got that?" "And if you see a suspicious guy, question him." "There's a possibility the kidnapper's here too." "Got that?" "Yes." "How many times do I have to tell you?" "Checking for a fingerprint match is a waste of time." " The kidnapper won't have a criminal record." " Please calm down." "We should get the result soon." "Apparently, my words are falling on deaf ears." "Just so you know," "I'm not denying the validity of profiling." "It's just that I have experience in investigations." " Unlike you." " Director." "Is it out?" "The result of the fingerprint match." "Yes, but no match was found in the criminal database." " Are you positive?" " Yes." "Go check it over one more time!" "Where are the hostages?" "Chief, please come to the stage." " This way." " Still" " wanna play this game, huh?" " I'll open it." "This way?" "[Nara, Tottori, Fukuoka, Nichi] Where do we go now?" "Oh." "Maybe like a train station or a bus terminal." "Why is only [Nichi] in red?" "Yeah, you're right." " Hey, who are you calling?" " I'm going to ask Motosonobe-san." "Just wait." "I'm thinking now." " We don't have time." " What?" " What happened?" " We got the next question." "I just sent you an e-mail." "The e-mail's here." "It's Ueno." "Go to Ueno right away." " Ueno?" " See, I told you it was a station." "Let's go to Ueno Station." "No, not the station." "Go to Ueno Park." "Head towards Tokyo National Museum." "Hey, Mochizuki." "Wait." "Wait." " Move." " Why?" " Never mind, just move." " What's the problem?" " Your driving..." " Ouch..." "Ow." " Is the problem." " Huh?" "It's not even funny if we get in an accident on the way." "That's what it is." "I got it." "The meaning behind the place designated by the kidnapper." "He's probably just making fun and toying with the police." "No." "The kidnapper craves to be in the limelight." "That's exactly why he's scattering hints relating to him." "What are you saying?" "Perhaps he wants to be found and be arrested." "I've never heard of such a criminal." "The killer of the so-called" "Black Dahlia, which occurred in LA in 1947, called the editor of a newspaper and even sent a package with the victim's belongings to prove it." "The Zodiac killer too." "There are such criminals." "You just don't know about them." "Then tell me, what's the kidnapper like?" "The answers to his questions are all related to his background." "In other words, he's originally from somewhere around Asakusa." "And he attended a school near the Tokyo National Museum." "High school or university..." "There are several prestigious schools in that area." "Criminals who carry out these elaborate crime plans tend to be highly intellectual." " Are you sure this is the place?" " Positive." "The Gallery of Horyu-ji Treasures from Nara in the Nara spot." "The kuromon is from Inshuu." "It came from a fief in what is now Tottori Prefecture." "And the onigawara roof tile is from Fukuoka." "Nichi stands for the main Nippon Gallery." "Red signifies the rising sun." "And the shape of the building is the character for nichi sideways." " Ah, of course." " I'm positive." "And the kidnapper lives somewhere around Tokyo Tower." "That's a pretty bold statement." "That's exactly why he first tried to control Tokyo Tower which was constantly looking down on him." "The place where the first body was found..." "It's not a deserted street." "Yet, he was able to place the body there without being seen by anyone." "There's a good possibility that he's very familiar with the area." "His workplace may be somewhere in Odaiba." "From the fact that the body had frostbite," " an occupation relating to cold storage." " Of course." " And the kidnapper's initial is M." "M?" "The message said W." "The kidnapper is enjoying a psychological game." "He's not going to give away the answer so easily." "If you rotate W, it's M." "That's why the message was attached upside down." "I found it." "[This is finally the beginning.]" "[Stairways that take you closest to heaven." "It's a fantastic view.]" "[Come here." "Time limit is 16:15.]" "[Hurry up and come." "It's freezing cold here all year around.]" "Got it." "We just have to go to the highest place in Tokyo." "Okay." "Let's go." "Shall we defer to you just a bit?" "Hey." "Have them check to see if anyone matching" "Sensei's profiling was hanging around the victims." "Remember, we don't have much time." "I found it." "Don't touch it." "Hey!" "Are you alright?" "[Wrong] Does this mean we were deceived at the very end?" " I made a mistake." " What?" "[Stairways that take you closest to heaven.]" " That's Tokyo Tower." " Tokyo Tower?" "Tokyo Tower has stairways on the outside where you can view the scenery." " Plus it said "beginning"..." " I get it." "The beginning of this incident was Tokyo Tower." "We can still make it." "Hurry." "[A hit-and-run accident in the area of lidabashi intersection...]" "Director, we found him." "The man works for a company that owns a cold storage warehouse in Odaiba." "Both his background and current address match the profile." " What's his name?" " Matuda Noboru." "There are reports that he's gravely ill too." "Initial M." "He hasn't been at work for several days now and they haven't been able to reach him." "Furthermore, he took the company truck without permission." "Is that true?" "Sensei, if your profiling is accurate, this guy's our man." "Bring him in for voluntary questioning." "Sensei, if this is a hit, I would most certainly highly recommend the addition of profiling in our investigations." "3 more minutes." "Let's go." "Speed it up." "Those are the stairways." "Mikami, what was that message again?" "Let's see." "[This is finally the beginning.]" "[Come here." "Hurry up and come here.]" "Um...[Stairways that take you closest to heaven.]" "[It's freezing cold here all year around.] That's it." "[He must have been held captive in a cold place.]" "Chief." "He's in Room 203 here." "It's about time for this game to be over." "Chief." "Director." " No external injuries." " Then what's all this blood on the newspaper?" "Probably someone else's." "Might be that of the last hostage." "That's quite a bit of blood." "If he had an injury severe enough to bleed this much, he's already..." "If only we had come straight here..." " After all this, we couldn't save any of them." " The hostage is still alive." "But this blood..." "Remember this, Rookie." "Until we confirm life or death with our own eyes, our job ain't done." "Mikami, I'm leaving you in charge here." " Got it." " Preserve the crime scene." " Yes." " Hey, Rookie." "We're going." "Sensei, the credit goes to you." "Matsuda is the kidnapper." "We got the evidence too." "If it wasn't for your profiling, it would've been impossible to identify the criminal." "I'm very glad that I was able to be of assistance." "On that note, Sensei, please help us out again." "We'd like you to use your profiling skills to find out the kidnapper's next move." "You couldn't arrest him?" "His house was empty." "Naturally, he wasn't at his workplace either." "I see." "He has one more hostage." "Do you think he'll make another demand like before?" "So there's a hostage who's still alive?" "Yes." "Mizuno Yoshiyuki." "He hasn't been found yet." "Sensei, please help us out." "Please help us out." "Alright." "Let me give it a try." "Please get me a map of Tokyo." "Also, I need to see all information on Matsuda." "This profiling is going to be pretty crucial." "Chief, do you really think that the hostage," "Mizuno-san, is still alive?" "The possibility isn't zero." "Why do you think so?" "If he wanted us to think that the hostage was still alive, he wouldn't have left that much blood behind." "If he didn't care if we found out that the hostage was dead," " it would be meaningless to move the body." " I see." "You're right." "In order to rescue the hostage, we have to find out the kidnapper's real intent." "What do you mean?" "Isn't it to show his power?" "The kidnapper's demand's blurry." "He demanded that the incident be publicized, yet he has yet to send a declaration to the media claiming responsibility." "There's got to be something else." "The real reason for doing this." "Mikami." "Find anything?" "The blood that was found." "Yes." "According to a simple lab test, it's not the last hostage's blood." "Oh, also, the Criminal Investigations Team identified the kidnapper." "How did they do that?" "That Sensei from the crime lab stole the show." "Apparently his profiling hit the bull's eye." "I'm glad." "Looks like we may rescue the hostage after all." "Thanks to Motosonobe-san, huh?" "If it wasn't for the profiling, the identity of the kidnapper would still..." " Chief?" " You can manage by yourself, can't you?" " Ah, yes." " I'm going back to HQ." "What?" "Wha-wha-What?" "The kidnapper will come up with a demand again and designate a certain place." "He is sure to appear there." "He may even cooperate with the investigation as an eyewitness." "Do you mind letting me talk with him directly?" "Turn on the speaker phone." "Hello?" "Who's this?" "My name is Motosonobe." "It's your chance for a revenge match." "Does that mean you want to continue?" "Here's a question the hostage thought of." "A sinful place where the sin disappeared." "Come here." "If we go there, are you going to end this game?" "If you don't come, everything will end." " Did you trace the call?" " Yes." "This time he's using Mizuno's cell phone." "Where's he calling from?" "He moving on Yamate Boulevard from the Shinjuku area towards Ikebukuro." "Could the designated place be the old site of a prison in Ikebukuro?" "A place were sinful people were gathered." "But the place no longer exists." "It does make sense." "Go to Ikebukuro immediately." "Sensei, you look tired." "Are you alright?" "Probably because this is the first time I profiled a serial killer on a real-time basis." "What are you going to do if you're already like this?" "You're going to have a lot more opportunities in the future." "I guess so." "So I want to ask you once more about your father." "Was there anything unusual lately?" "Umm..." "I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but" "Dad was working at home a lot." "But your dad's a system engineer, right?" "Then that's not too unusual, is it?" "No." "He never worked at home until recently." "I see." "Then was there something he asked you to hold for him?" "Ah..." "There is." "You have your nerve showing up here." "Kokubo, where's the guy from the crime lab?" "If you're talking about Sensei, he's taking a break." " What?" " The guy's amazing." "He immediately figured out the place designated by the kidnapper." "Did the kidnapper call again?" "He gave us another problem." "We're following the cell phone he called from." "[Sinful place where the sin disappeared.]" "It's the old site of a prison in Ikebukuro." "This time for sure, we can end it." "The Criminal Investigations Team will capture the kidnapper." "Looks like he was in a rush to get outta here." "Hello." "There was something Mizuno-san gave Kana-chan to hold for him." "It's an old laptop." "I'm on my way back." "Ikebukuro, huh?" "That's it." "Taxi ahead, pull over." "Open the door." "The door." " Is this cell phone yours?" " No." "A customer insisted that I transport it." "To Ikebukuro." "Must be some important file in here." "It's protected." "Okay." "Here it is." " This is..." " The computer's communication log." "It's what we call SNS these days." "People with the same interest get together and have an enjoyable discussion." "With members only." " What's the content?" " Let's see..." "Murder plan." "How to kill someone without getting caught." " That's what they were talking about." " That's just terrible." "What about the members?" "Can you get their names?" "There are 5 members." "I don't know the names, but their occupation's posted." "One's a doctor." "Researcher at a university." "Works for a publisher." "System engineer." "And finally, student." "That would..." "Match the occupations of the four hostages." "Asanuma was a doctor." "Kuranishi worked for a publisher." "Tamura was a researcher at a university." "Mizuno-san's a system engineer." "Looks like the system engineer dropped out in the middle." "What about the other member who was a student?" "Age-wise, it could be Matsuda." "That must mean they planned a murder 15 years ago." "How did you know?" "The guy's been hung up on the number 15." "[Time limit is 15:00.]" "[7:15. 11:15]" "It means this isn't a case of kidnap murder committed for the sake of psychological gratification." "Some kind of grudge then?" "Like Matsuda alone had to take the rap for the murder." "I don't think that's it." "Matsuda doesn't have any prior criminal record." "Then he was afraid the truth might get exposed so he killed the other members." "Well, if the truth gets exposed, the other members would be in trouble too." "Besides, the last post was made 15 years ago in March." "Even if the murder was actually carried out, the statute of limitations ran out." " But..." " It's meaningless to commit more murders." "Hasn't the statute of limitations for murder been abolished?" "Charges can't be filed for those cases whose statute of limitations ran out" " before the abolishment became law." " No way." "Sinful place where the sin disappeared." "Maybe..." "Could Matsuda be telling us to come to the scene of the murder that occurred 15 years ago?" "Where the statute of limitations ran out and the sin disappeared." "Where's the crime scene?" " Oh, it's here." " Another code?" "Oh, W-W-Wait a sec." "This is a forum where people write about crime." "Here it is." "There was this post not too long ago." "[F, Q] It's the same." "Where are we supposed to go?" "This is easy." "It's substitution cipher." "F, Q@84;" "EV@." "[Haneda Ghost Building]" "Wasn't there an abandoned building in Haneda?" "It's there." "Let's go, Chief." "I'll bring the car around." "Mikami, see if you can find a matching incident." " What?" "!" " What do you mean what?" "Go" "Oh, there's one more thing" "I really need you to do for me." "What..." "What is it?" "This is a special assignment that only you can do." "Special assignment?" "Target 2.7m away." " Excuse me." " What's the matter?" "What?" "Matsuda doesn't have a family register?" "What's going on!" "Matsuda doesn't have a family register?" "Mizuno-san doesn't look like he'd be a participant in such a dreadful plan." "The dark side of a human mind isn't something that can be easily read." "At times, you have to suspect the person right next to you." "There ain't no one you can trust unconditionally" " in our world." " Are you talking about..." "This is Mochizuki." "Hey, Mocchy." "There was a murder 15 years ago that might be what we're looking for." "The murder occurred 15 years ago on April 1." "The victim was a 25 year-old woman." "No evidence left behind by the murder." "No eyewitnesses." "It's been shelved, unresolved." "Also, don't be surprised." "Matsuda doesn't exist in this world." "What?" "!" "Wait a minute." "What do you mean" "Matsuda doesn't exist?" "And tell Yamaji-san I said Bingo." "Bingo?" "What is that about?" "We found out his true identity." "That SOB." "Where's the hostage?" "Is he alive?" "Haven't you done enough?" "Now that you've committed all these crimes, you'll be famous all over the world, as you wished." "You'll go down in history as a notorious killer, just like the Zodiac Killer and Unabomber." "Isn't that why we joined hands?" "I carry out the crime in accordance with Sensei's plan." "Sensei will brilliantly identify the criminal through profiling." "And raise the status of profiling within the police organization." "When I heard your wish, it hit me." "[And this concludes my lecture for today.]" "[Thank you.]" "[Are you alright?" "]" "[No, I'm not.]" "[Then don't force yourself to be here.]" "[But I feel most at ease when" "[" " I'm listening to your lecture." " Is that right?" "]" "[Sensei, what have I been living for all this time?" "]" "[Matsuda-san.]" "[I wish I was born as a more valuable person.]" "[Someone who's known all over the world.]" "[There are ways, you know.]" "[I'll help you.]" "[In return, can you help me too?" "]" "[Win-win.]" "[A mutually beneficial relationship.]" "Wasn't it a brilliant plan that fulfilled our wishes?" "Yes." "I'm grateful." "Then why did you change the plan?" "You were supposed to be discovered in your room." "Along with Mizuno's body." "I got this urge to see you, Sensei." "I felt I couldn't end it without seeing you..." "Unplanned behavior will lead to failure." "But I have no choice." "Let's end it all here." "I'll aim for real next time." "What are you talking about?" "I found the kidnapper and..." " We know everything already." "Give up." " What do you mean everything?" "That the one who planned the kidnap murder is you, Motosonobe." "15 years ago, you killed someone here with your 4 partners." "[Hey, avoid the liver and heart.]" "[Save some for us too.]" "The victim was a 25 year-old woman." "You planned and carried out the murder for your amusement." "15 years later, there was a posting on a crime forum and unexpectedly, the truth about the murder was about to be exposed." "That's why you used him to kill your partners from the past." "To silence them." "Furthermore, you tried to take advantage of this case to get attention." "As an expert profiler." "Why did you do it?" "Don't be ridiculous." "Mikami checked your laptop." "He found a roster for your profiling class." "This guy was your student, wasn't he?" "That's not going to prove anything." " There has to be a more..." " There is." "The evidence is in this box." "What's this doing here?" "All my conversation with you was recorded from the beginning." "Who are you?" "What do you want to do!" "You call yourself a profiler but you don't realize it yet?" "You're the worst pathetic SOB." "What's more, you don't have the ability either." "This man isn't someone with an inferiority complex who wants to become famous by killing people." "He's the fiance of the woman you guys killed just for fun." "Matuda's an alias too." "I was searching for 15 years." "And I finally found them." "The bastards who killed her." "My clue was the post on a forum that collected information on crime." ""I know who committed the murder at F, Q@84;" "EV@ 15 years ago."" "[F, Q@...]" " "Is that true?"" " "I wouldn't write about it if I didn't know."" ""Who are you?"" "[I'm the victim's fiance.]" ""If you're really the fiance, send me the victim's picture."" "The prime offender was a member of the police." "That guy was feigning absolute honesty and brandishing justice." "That's a crock of shit." "You're the fiend who robbed me of everything." "Killing him isn't enough." "That's why I made up my mind." "To completely destroy the thing he diligently built up over many years!" "The thing he was desperately trying to get recognized." "This thing called credibility of profiling!" "In other words, he used you." "That's a lie." "That's a lie, a lie!" "My plan is perfect." "My plan is perfect!" "Stop!" "Move!" "Hey, stop!" "Wait a sec!" "Wait, hey!" "What good does it do to kill him?" "There's no way I can let him go on living!" "I know!" "I understand your feeling, but all you do if you kill him is give him relief." "Don't kill him, no matter what." "Stop!" "The hostage is alive, isn't he?" "Where is he?" "Mochizuki." "Mochizuki!" "Go rescue the hostage." "Mizuno-san." "Is it because he didn't actually do it that you didn't kill Mizuno-san?" "It was him." "He's the one who told me everything that happened 15 years ago." "Mizuno had a daughter." "My fiancee was pregnant." "With my child." "Hey." "Get a hold of yourself." "Hey." "You alright?" "Please..." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Mochizuki, ambulance!" " Mochizuki, you worked hard." " Good job." " You okay?" " I'm fine." "How about you?" "No big deal." "I'm fine." " Thank you very much." " For what?" "There ain't no reason for you to thank me." "Getting all fired up will get you nowhere." "That's true, isn't it?" "I'll be your right arm for a while." " Tell me anything." " Give me a break." "With a right arm like you, I'm gonna get worn down." "Then have it your way." "You won't be defeated." "Not you." "Motosonobe was an accomplice!" "?" "!" "What's going on!" "Damn!" "This may be the chance to sweep out the garbage." "Why is Chief Yamaji being transferred to the local police station?" "He failed to rescue three hostages." "A capable profiler was sacrificed as well." "Those reasons should be more than enough." "Wasn't it your fault that the initial investigation was delayed?" "Also, the reported incident is not the truth." "Matsuda didn't carry out this plan on his own." " Where's the proof?" " Matsuda left it at the scene." "That kind of stuff can be easily fabricated." "Then what's going to happen to the truth?" "This isn't fair." "This is reality." "Besides, Yamaji-kun himself requested the transfer." "What?" "Why?" "He did it to lighten your punishment." "Normally, you would be transferred out after that many instances of inappropriate behavior." "You should thank me too for agreeing to it, Mochizuki-kun." "Mochizuki-san." "Kana-chan." "Are you alright?" "Yes." "Mochizuki-san, thank you so much." "Mizuno-san." "Don't make Kana-chan worry, okay?" "I know." "Thank you very much." " Mocchy." " Yes." "I got these from Yamaji-san." "Want one?" "This is..." "I think he was planning to give them to someone." "No way!" "[It's a get well present.]" "[From the knight in shining armor who saved you.]" ""Don't be defeated."" "[It's alright." "I'm with the police." "I came to save you.]" "I'm putting you in charge next." "I'm expecting great things from you." "I'm honored." "Are you really in LA, Yukihira?" "It's me, Yamaji." "I left HQ too." "This is my way of bringing closure." "Although it may be different from yours." "Also, Yukihara." "Don't die." "You scared me." "Aren't you just trying to act strong?" "Going to LA by yourself?" "Totally." "Sonoko Oba-chan will be there too." "Besides, it's much safer than being with you, Mom." "You're leaving today too, aren't you?" " Yeah." " Mom, you take care of yourself." "I'm going then." "Mom." "I love you." "Mio just went through the gate." "I'm leaving right away." "There's no way I'm backing off." "I'm going to exposing it no matter what." "The dark side of the police." "This is my last chance." "Is that information credible?" "Okay." "I'll take care of it." "Excuse me." " May I get through?" " Oh, excuse me." "Shinohara Ryoko/Sato Koichi"
