01x09 - Episode 9

[bunniefuu]

Haba, did you locate
the phone Yamaki was calling?

It's by the bridge at South Sakuragawa.

That's where the phone owner should be.

Got it. The bridge at South Sakuragawa.

Good luck.

The bridge at South Sakuragawa?

Mochizuki, I hope you get it this time.

Great. I'm back.

Are you all right? Still alive?

You. Did you switch back to protect me?

I was just trying to arrest you.

But I guess…

Go ahead.

Is that right?

Well…

If you want to be arrested,
just turn yourself in.

Do what you want to do.

I'm after the perpetrator, Sakuya Azuma,
and not some boring accomplice.

My brother?

-Even the police don't know where--
-But I know where he is.

He's in Fukuoka now.

Fukuoka?

Because you were caught here,
you can't help him run any more.

You'll be arrested in different places,
and that'll be the end of it.

If you don't see him now, you never will.

Are you okay with that?

But if you let me, you'll--

Don't the two of you look close?

The criminal's right there, but
you're chatting away without cuffing him?

I was just questioning him.

But you seem quite close.
Don't you think so, Hidaka?

I'm not going to run away any more.

How nice of you.

I'll go after him!

You've got to be kidding me!

It's Kawahara.

Hidaka ran from the bridge
at South Sakuragawa towards Nihonbashi.

A female officer is after him. Requesting
backup from officers in the area.

MPD emergency dispatch.

Suspect Haruto Hidaka is on the run

towards Nihonbashi
from the South Sakuragawa bridge.

Got it.

A female officer is after him.
Officers in the area…

Where's Hidaka, Mochizuki?

Hidaka made a right turn
at the end of the alley.

Please get him!

-Okay.
-Yes.

It's okay. I shook them off.

But Mochizuki,
won't this put you in a sticky spot?

It's okay.

If I come back with you and your brother,
I can make excuses.

I'm not sure if things will work out--

Shut up!

You waited long to say that.

I'll call Riku. You stay here.

-I'll get going.
-Okay.

CURRENT LOCATION
TO AMAMI OSHIMA

PAYPHONE

Hello?

Hey Riku, it's me.

Is it you, Ayako?

Oh, but it's Hidaka, right?

I'm back.

What? Y-You're back?

Hidaka and Sakuya Azuma are wanted.

W-Wanted?

So before Sakuya Azuma is caught,

I want to let the two meet
before I arrest them both.

So make sure the police
don't get Sakuya Azuma before then.

Can you help me?

Before I do, I'll need evidence
that you're not Hidaka.

Are you an idiot?

After all this time,
you still can't tell me apart?

Sorry. You're definitely Ayako.

Riku, I want to meet up
with you somewhere.

You know,
we were planning on heading to Amami.

Have you really switched back?

We did. Drive towards Nagoya.

-Have you really--
-So persistent!

Hurry and avoid the checkpoints!

Okay.

This is from the MPD HQ
to all officers on duty.

The suspect, Hidaka,
is wearing a black coat and suit--

So…

What are you two planning on doing?

We're going to go
and meet Sakuya Azuma in Amami.

I-Isn't that risky?

Sexual-Hara saw the two of us together.

What?

It's extremely risky.

So I want to make it seem
as if I'm chasing him.

"Make it seem"?

I was chasing after Hidaka
before catching him.

But it seems Hidaka knows
Sakuya Azuma's whereabouts.

I make a secret deal with him
to lead me to Azuma.

Then I arrest them both at once.

I need to make this plan work

so all the other suspicious details
can be forgotten.

Do you think that will work?

So I need to ask you for a favor.

Use this well,
and fabricate where Hidaka might be.

W-Won't I be arrested for doing that?

For example, take this and head north.

In the meantime, we'll rush south.

But will credit card records
be enough to manipulate them?

Both of Hidaka's smartphones
are untraceable at the moment.

I slipped one into a toilet at CoEarth,

and he threw away the other,
the pre-paid phone.

In which case,

my credit card becomes the only way
of finding out where I could be.

Maybe we can mislead them
for a couple of days or so.

I also need you to make an alibi for me.

CURRENT LOCATION
TO AMAMI OSHIMA

Should I make my phone untraceable?

LOCATION TRACKING OFF

Do you think
my brother will make it to Amami okay?

Don't worry.

Riku is pretty reliable

and the police probably don't have
much info on Sakuya Azuma.

But it won't take long for Kawahara
to figure out we're doing this together.

Even if he does,

my phone has tracking turned off,
so he can't do anything.

It won't work.

Both this number
and Mochizuki's phone are untraceable.

What can you track?

Maybe Yamaki?

Then trace him.

You sure to worry a lot.

It's because that man's really persistent.

You won't find any answers by worrying.

INSPECTION

Why is there a checkpoint here?

Don't worry. Relax.

Yes?

We're looking for a runaway suspect.
Please cooperate.

Good work. We're also on the search.

-Sorry for the bother.
-It's fine.

Excuse me.

Could I also have your ID as well?

Did you not see this?

F-First division…

Sorry about that!

Have a good evening.

Yamaki is heading towards Tokyo station.

TOKYO STATION

Huh. At this time of the night?

See? I told you it'd be okay.

You just worry too much.

Is that so?

But anyway,
I feel good being in my own body.

I agree.

Doesn't something feel different?

Different?

My nails are super tidy!

How did this happen?

Well, I was borrowing your body,
so I looked it up on the internet.

Thanks.

But hey,
it wasn't easy being a man, either.

I think it's nothing
in comparison to women.

But I guess all this is over now.

Once the two of you are arrested,
the case will also be closed.

Yes.

I wonder why it's Amami.

CARD

Yamaki went inside.

INSIDE TOKYO STATION

Is he trying to lure us there?

Do you think we'll make it to Amami okay?

It's all over for us if we don't.

Let's go! To Amami!

Is Hidaka running north?

Yes.

According to Hidaka's credit card records,

last night, at 10:38 p.m.,

he bought a ticket for
the b*llet train heading to Sendai.

At 10:12 a.m. this morning,
he bought zunda pancakes

from a cafe in Matsushima to take out.

Given this, we are assuming
that Hidaka is currently in Sendai.

MIYAGI PREFECTURE MATSUSHIMA-CHO

Where is Yamaki's phone coming up?

It's around Matsushima.

So he's a lure after all.

Let's go get Mochizuki and Hidaka.

Do you know where they are?

KUMAMOTO PREFECTURE, KUMAMOTO CITY
TABARUZAKA

I'll go make a call.

Okay.

MIYAGI PREFECTURE, MATSUSHIMA

Being the lure is the best.

Yes.

Yes.

How are things at the HQ?

I asked the director earlier, and it seems
they've taken the credit card bait.

Is my alibi okay?

I told them we are
reinvestigating Hidaka's acquaintances,

but they told me to ask around in Sendai.

Aren't things going a bit too well?

Leave a few more trails
and then head back.

No, it's okay.
I can head all the way up to Hokkaido--

It'll be a waste if you get caught,
so don't be so relaxed.

Got it.

That's Mochizuki's base of operations.

It's just a normal residential building.

Ma'am, can you spare a moment?

Let's go back.
We've gone far beyond what's acceptable.

She might be helping a k*ller escape
by using her position as the police.

There's no line she wouldn't cross.

But Kawahara…

It's like she became a different person
since meeting Hidaka.

Why is just this part…

That's enough, Kawahara…

SAMPLE Q

Is that…

Jackpot.

Is this proof that
she was secretly collecting evidence?

I don't think that's all of it.

Now, we need to catch the runaways
and ask them, right?

Don't you think
they're heading towards here?

DEPARTURE: HANEDA
ARRIVAL: AMAMI OSHIMA

Will we be taking a ferry
to Kagoshima from here?

Yeah.

We can relax a bit once we're on it.

Should we take turns driving?

I don't trust you enough
to hand you the wheel.

Sorry.

Do you think
they have arrived in Amami by now?

Who knows?

KAGOSHIMA PREFECTURE, KAGOSHIMA PORT

I'm sorry Riku
for dragging you all this way.

It's okay.

But why do you want
to go to Amami, Master?

My brother asked me to go with him before,
but we never did.

I didn't know that you had a brother.

Our parents got a divorce
so we weren't raised together, but…

What's he like?

Well…

I've only got good things
to say about him.

Hey, did you meet your brother again
in the CoEarth building?

Even if you keep your silence,
it'll be investigated--

I'll remain silent, then.

Okay, fine.

I'm really going to interrogate him
once I arrest him.

Yeah.

A client had dropped their contact lens
and I was looking for it desperately.

Excuse me…

are you looking for this?

Thank you.

Have a good day at work.

Did you not notice
that it was your brother then?

Looking back, I know that it was stupid,

but he was kind,
and I felt like he was honest with me,

so I asked him
to try out the Vanish Wonder.

Vanish Wonder?

Yes.

I'd like to hear your thoughts
if that's okay,

Um… Mr. Azuma.

Okay.

I don't think he knew who I was,

but I was so excited that my brother
had asked me for a favor.

His feedback was exactly what I needed.

I thought he was great

and asked him to test a few more products.

Then, naturally, we grew close.

-Really?
-Yes.

Sorry, but can you skip to the part
where you recognized him?

When did you figure it out?

He had a fight with his wife this one day…

so we drank together on the bridge.

You mean that bridge?

Yes.

Jeez, I'm so done with her.

She's completely dependent on me, yet…

How did you meet your wife?

Well, we were
meant for each other in a bad way.

What about you? Anyone on your mind?

Me?

Long ago, I received a letter from someone
asking me to meet them on a bridge.

That's…

Wait.

Was it a love letter?
Aren't you the popular one?

But no one came.

This kind boy turned up,
but he left shortly afterward.

I've always wondered who sent the letter.

It never leaves my mind.

What are you smirking at?

Nothing.

Some things are better left unknown.

Well, should we get going?

I'll take that.

I can't let the president take the trash.

You paid for it.

Here.

Thanks then.

I ran a DNA test
with the cup and the tooth,

and with my hair as well.

You mean you've always assumed
that you might have a brother somewhere?

I knew that my father wasn't
my biological father,

and something about my mom told me

that she might have had
another child somewhere.

So did you tell your brother about it?

He already knew but didn't say anything,

so I figured that I should talk to him
when the right time came.

HANEDA TO AMAMI OSHIMA

You want me to go with you to Amami?

Yes. If it's okay with you.

I mean, I have other arrangements…

Do you mean your wife?

-She can accompany us.
-No, no, no.

It's not because of my wife.

Can I think on this?

What was troubling you?

I was worried I'd show him the real me
if I got too close to him.

Do you mean you won't be as cool?

But I decided to go anyway.

Somewhere in my heart,
I wanted him to figure it out.

Why then?

My dad…

Master! Master!

Are you okay?

I…

don't think…

I'll make it to Amami…

I won't make it…

So did your brother end up
not going to Amami?

To be exact…

he couldn't go.

He couldn't?

Excuse me. Does this belong to you?

It's not mine.

I see.

Sorry.

Excuse me.

This is 51,
calling prefecture HQ from 105--

POINT OF PURCHASE

Good. They're still following the lure.

Go, credit card!

Senior director, a report came in

from Nakashimachi, Kumamoto,
that a man who resembles Hidaka

was with a woman with long hair.

Mochizuki…

Wasn't Hidaka in Sendai?

We found the link
between Hidaka and Azuma.

According to Hidaka's father,
Mitsuru Hidaka,

the two are twins
who were separated at birth.

Someone spotted a man
who looked like Hidaka in Kumamoto.

Any connections nearby?

I believe their mother was born in Amami.

Amami?

We've got a video
of the person using Hidaka's card.

Here it is.

Do you think he's Hidaka's accomplice?

Identify him quickly.

Okay.

I'm finished.

Goodbye, Mochizuki.

TOUCH IT AND YOU'RE DEAD!

Is this Hidaka's smartphone?

You can't touch it yet!

We're 99% sure that it's his.

Okay.

It's the hour
when the sun and moon switch over.

Mochizuki.

Why don't you arrest me at the port
and put an end to this?

The police saw us.

If we keep going, they'll be sure
that you're trying to let me get away.

Now's the time to tell me the whole truth.

If you don't,
I won't be able to come up with a way

to protect myself when the time comes.

By the way, you claimed to be
Sakuya Azuma back in Amami…

What was that for?

That was because…

the day before we left for Amami…

I'm sorry. My wife's fallen ill.

Your wife?

He told me that his wife couldn't go
because she'd collapsed.

After that call,
I had no choice but to go on my own.

In the in-flight magazine,
I read a story about

the fate of the sun and moon
switching in Amami.

It made me think it would have made sense
if I'd been the one unable to make it.

But for some reason,
that felt like I was submitting to fate.

So you pretended to be your brother
to make it seem like you went together.

Sounds about right.

So did you talk to him when you got back?

Well…

when I got back,
he'd quit his job and moved away.

Why did he quit?

His father passed away.

You mean, Mr. Azuma, right?

He's my father too.

The whole thing about
my brother's marriage was a big lie.

He'd been taking care
of his father who had dementia for years,

while working at the same time.

I think every day
must have been a struggle.

Your father passed
as a coincidence, just before your trip?

I suppose you can call it that.

According to their neighbor…

Please listen to me.

You! You're going to Amami!

No, Dad!

I won't go to where Mom is.

How dare you try to go to Amami?!

Hey, are you okay?

Hey!

In the room, there was a ripped up
Amami pamphlet and ticket.

But you did meet again, right?

Yes.

On the bridge.

My brother had a new name
and was trying to start fresh.

But…

Cancer?

Pancreatic cancer.
I've got six months left to live.

Hey…

There are many treatments
available these days,

and I'll find a good doctor.

Well, I'm sure you can afford it, but…

I'll pay for it.

We are brothers, are we not?

I heard how much of a hard time you had,
caring for our father.

That should've been
a burden shared with me.

Please, don't say no.

In that case, I want to become Ku Shu Go.

Ku Shu Go? From math?

It's this.

THE JANITOR OF DARKNESS

The Janitor of Darkness…

I found it in the room
of a guy who k*lled himself.

The guy who made that
seemed like he really m*rder*d someone.

I also know someone who's better off dead
for the good of the world.

I'm also a janitor
like the guy in the comic.

I also want to clean people up
before I'm done with this world.

You're joking, right?

This only worked because it's a comic.

They never got the guy who wrote it.

You could be mistaken
that he's the m*rder*r.

Do you want to see the evidence?

But…

The people around you
will be sad if you do that.

I don't have anyone like that.

It'll make me sad!

So, please stop.

What do you want?

What do you want from me?!

You're right. I am your brother.

I was born 15 minutes before you,

and because of that,
I ended up with this pathetic life!

What did you do
when I was busy running away from Yomo?

Did you snack as you arranged
your baby teeth at Hidaka's?

What were you doing when Tadokoro was
bullying me at the job I finally got?

When Kume did me wrong,
and Dad had finally lost it,

you founded your company!

I saw it in the newspaper
that I was cleaning the toilets with.

Why is it?

Why are our lives so different?

Is it because I'm dumb?

Because I'm lazy?

Am I to blame?

That can't be right!

Fifteen minutes!

If you had been born 15 minutes earlier,
your life would have been mine!

I said…

I'll do anything besides this!

Let's talk this through! Brother!

I'll be waiting for you here!

I guessed what his plan was
from what he had left behind.

But honestly, I didn't think
that he would or could actually do it.

But…

What's two? Who is it?

HITOSHI TADOKORO

Is it him? Is he two?

Is two really Tadokoro?

But is it really my brother
who wrote that?

If he really meant it,
is it possible to stop him at this point?

My head was a mess
thinking of all the possibilities.

Anyway, I thought I should go to
the crime scene if I wanted to fix things.

For the first time in my entire life,
I saw a m*rder scene.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Was it really my brother who did this?

But he'd left his m*rder weapon, the rock,

and the Sample Q behind.

I thought my brother
was pressuring me to make a decision.

Would I be an accomplice?

Or would I report him
to the police as a stranger?

He'd left it up to me.

I couldn't bring myself to report him.

Why?

If I'd been born 15 minutes earlier…

that would have been my crime.

So I chose to become his accomplice…

and help him get away.

That explains the leather gloves.

Tadokoro and my brother go way back.

It would confuse the police if the k*ller
seemed the same as the Kanagawa case.

My brother, who didn't have long to live,
would be able to get away.

I, personally,
didn't have any connections to Tadokoro.

Even if the police found out,
my brother would have been dead by then.

So I thought I'd be able to get away, too.

But…

you came chasing me unexpectedly,

and unbelievably, we switched bodies.

Come on in.

Yamaki has already gone home.

From that point on, I was quite desperate.

I had to make you think
I was the m*rder*r somehow.

You die and make a clean exit,
and I go on living as you.

Meanwhile, I tried to make sure
that you as Haruto Hidaka

didn't get caught by the police.

Do you want me to tell you
which brand they are?

Then, I found out…

that my brother wasn't satisfied
with a single m*rder,

so I tried to get to him
before he could commit another.

But that didn't go according to plan…

Are you waiting for someone?

No.

Watching the moon again?

And he'd k*lled someone
who wasn't even on the list.

I couldn't tell
what my brother was thinking anymore.

At the end of it all,

he'd left my baby tooth at the scene
of the crime and I'd been cornered.

Haruto Hidaka.

You're under arrest
for the m*rder of Hitoshi Tadokoro.

That's enough.

That's why you switched our bodies back.

So you could make sure
that at least your brother got away.

Although only a part of that plan
was successful.

But…

things are as they should be now.

No matter how awful Yomo, Tadokoro,
or Kume were to my brother,

they didn't deserve to be k*lled.

A m*rder is nothing but m*rder.

My brother and I have
both lost our moral compasses.

You're right.

I'm confident

that our bodies switched
so you could catch me.

You are…

You are really nasty.

What do you mean?

You're nasty.

I don't know who to blame here.

Shouldn't you get some sleep?

If you have another seizure…

I just want to see
the ocean a little bit longer.

Master?

Ayako?

Why?

Why?

What are you doing here?

Ayako, Ayako!

He's unwell! He's a patient!

You aren't Ku Shu Go!

You are here! You do exist!

There are those who love you,
worry about you,

and are out to protect you!

There's even someone
who'll become a criminal just for you!

There are people who do care.

You going on about how you don't exist
is just a load of crap!

I don't pity you one bit,

regardless of how badly you've been
treated or how difficult your life's been.

To ruin someone
who cares so much about you…

You are a psychopath, through and through!

Who is she?

She's a police officer.

The police?

I'm sorry.

Hold on.

Officer.

It's me who's done wrong.

He didn't do anything bad.

Can't anything be done?

I don't care how I die…

-As long as he's safe--
-Then why?!

Then why did you start this
in the first place?!

AMAMI AIRPORT

How'd it go?

Their identities haven't been confirmed

but two groups of two boarded the ferry
from Kagoshima at 5 p.m.

One of them
is a long-haired woman in her thirties.

What time and where?

6 a.m. at Amami Port.

Other sources also mentioned Amami,

so the HQ has requested cooperation
from the local force as well.

Okay.

It's finally over…

for Hidaka and Mochizuki.

I've never seen you cry or be so angry.

I'm always like that.

Only when it concerns you,
but never about someone else.

What? Am I really that self-centered?

You only care for yourself.

You've got that psychopath vibe about you.

I can't fully relate to Hidaka's story,

but I sympathize with him.

Maybe it's because our souls switched.

Maybe.

I…

wanted to let you free.

Let me free?

I saw you in front
of Kume's house with a detective.

In front of the house…

-Thank you.
-Anything suspicious?

At the time, I thought
you had reported me to the police

and was angry about it.

But it also helped me come to my senses.

So, I did the last crime alone.

That way, I thought I could prove
that I had committed all the murders.

Then what about my tooth?

My baby tooth
was found at the scene of the crime.

It was then.

I took a pill at Kume's place
because of my seizure.

How could I lose something
so precious to me?

I…

Haruto?

It's a mess, isn't it?

People are so selfish.

I don't care how I die…

As long as he's safe…

You're right.

I'm confident

that our bodies switched
so you could catch me.

Things are as they should be…

We are arriving at Amami
in 30 minutes as per the schedule.

Please prepare to disembark.

How is he?

I'd like to ask you
to arrest us before we get off the ferry.

I'll go wake him up now.

Don't you want to claim your innocence?

Your brother also wants that.

Mochizuki, that's…

Mochizuki, could you please get a doctor?

I'm on it.

Hold on.

I know you're on board, Mochizuki.

Master!

There's no doctor here.

Master, you can make it!

You can't die here!

You have to confess what you did
and have them swear at you!

DRIVE SLOWLY ON THE FERRY

Riku, Riku.

That's enough.

I think…

we've done what we can.

Dear passengers, please clear the way
for officials getting on board.

What is that noise?

There were a bunch
of police cars by the port.

The police…

Sorry, excuse me!

Hurry up and cuff me.

Quickly!

I…

What are you doing?

Riku, please look after my brother.

Don't move!

What are you up to?

Stay back!

Don't worry about it. He's bluffing.

Stay back!

Get back.

Stay back!

Further!

Stay back!

Chase me.

-Get him!
-Yes, sir!

I told you that I'll decide what happens!

I wanted you to arrest me.

There's no reason
for both of us to go to hell.

I promise.

I promise I'll save you.

I'll be waiting.

6:07 a.m.

Hidaka Haruto, you are under arrest
for suspicion of a series of murders.

You did your best…

on your crappy act.

Ayako Mochizuki,

you are under arrest for hiding a suspect
and destroying evidence.

You wanted to talk about Mochizuki?

Yes.

Actually…

Mochizuki…

Good, good.
