- Please come in. - Thank you.

- Father! - Oh, Akiko.

- Professor, are you alright? - Fine, thanks. I'm fine now.

- That's a relief. I was so worried. - Tsukioka!

- Hello, Wakabayashi. - A quiet word...

There was a murder on that flight.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

but we'll have to detain all the passengers for our investigation.

Is Professor Hayakawa alright?

He suffered a heart attack while he was lecturing in Kyushu.

I'd like to get him home as soon as possible.

- Of course, take him home. - Really?

I'll pay him a visit later.

The professor was sitting next to the victim, right?

Later, then.

Sorry to keep you waiting. Please make yourselves comfortable.

So, when you were handing out the ice cream,

the victim went to the bathroom, came out and was then murdered?

Yes, I think that's what happened.

Did any other passengers get up during that time?

I was standing next to the restroom, but no one went in.

DOUGLAS DC4B SEATING CHART

We've carefully investigated all the passengers and crew.

However, none of them had any motive or connection

with the victim, Mr. Ryoki Watanabe.

The deceased was CEO of Watanabe Construction,

founded just after the war.

The company was doing well, and there's no reason to suspect suicide.

Everything about this case points to homicide,

however it's physically impossible

for the perpetrator to have committed the crime and then to have escaped.

NIHONBASHI & GINZA BANK MURDERS

Captain, how many unsolved violent crimes do we have?

Well...

There have been five murders in the last three months, not including this one.

One or two are regarded as nearly solved.

The murders related to the Ginza Bank and Nihonbashi Bank robberies are still open.

This case brings the body count to six, and the stolen cash to 30 million yen.

Even with every department working on these cases,

we haven't got a single lead.

The case is starting to spark a public outcry,

which could have political repercussions in the future.

There's no reason to believe that these crimes are related,

but they all have one thing in common: there are no clues whatsoever.

Commissioner, I've given the matter a great deal of thought,

and aside from the lack of clues,

there is one fact that links all these crimes.

And what is that?

The victims were in a terrible state of fear

and offered no resistance to the perpetrator.

Fear and non-resistance...

These two factors could prove to be

the key to solving these crimes.

So you're saying you have no idea who committed the crime?

Right.

Then my father is the leading suspect, since he was sitting next to the victim?

I guess you're right!

Actually, that's why I called by today.

Did he say anything that may have hinted as to why someone would want him dead?

Not at all.

I wasn't feeling very well, so I was in no mood for conversation.

I see.

Yes?

Oh, hello. How's the investigation going?

- It's not going too well. - Oh?

Still, there was no way on or off that plane.

The perpetrator had to be on board.

That's including you, Professor!

Well, assuming that the perpetrator wasn't the Invisible Man!

Invisibility is no longer in the realm of impossibility.

Mr. Tsukioka, go ahead and show him. I trust Mr. Wakabayashi.

- Please... - Excuse us.

Come on.

- Well, this is quite a set-up. - Indeed.

Hello, there. Excuse us.

WOW!

Mr. Wakabayashi, this is Mr. Sugimoto.

- Pleased to meet you. - Likewise.

We've been friends since elementary school. Now, he's...

I know. He's a well-known police detective.

I forgot what a fan of crime novels you are!

He's the most feared man in Tokyo.

You really take the bull by the horns, don't you?

- We won't interrupt your work. - Take your time.

I'll explain the set-up.

Light has a fixed wavelength. The human eye is the same.

The human eye can only perceive light inside that wavelength.

Conversely, if an object doesn't overlap with this spectrum,

visible to the human eye, the object cannot be seen.

You mean invisible light rays?

I think "imperceptible" would be a more accurate description.

As you know, we've investigated cosmic rays

with the help of Professor Hayakawa.

Along the way, we discovered a new and bizarre light ray.

The imperceptible light ray?

I'll show you next door.

Sugimoto, hit the switch.

But what happens if you use the machine on a human being?

- Would they turn...? - I couldn't say.

This technology was developed to study cosmic radiation. It's an untested byproduct.

It could prove dangerous,

and it's not designed for use on animal life.

But if a human could use it to enable invisibility,

he could commit the perfect murder.

I disagree.

The person would be invisible, but he'd still occupy space and time.

See for yourself...

Still, I think it'd be an invaluable tool in a criminal investigation.

It'd be the perfect technology for stake-outs.

FUKUOKA BANK

Where are those normally kept?

I keep them on my belt, even when I sleep.

- Someone snatched them while you slept? - Impossible!

I never let my guard down.

Even footsteps outside wake me up.

Hayama, how's the victim?

Well, he's still unconscious. The doctors said it's touch and go.

Sir... the press is waiting.

Let them wait.

How much was stolen?

I'd say roughly 5.2 million yen in cash.

Pension accounts and overdrafts were untouched.

Is that so?

Any fingerprints?

Not a single one. Like he's licked them off!

Captain!

Something strange...

Every door was locked, front and back,

and the windows were all secured with iron bars.

The room was completely sealed off. What do you make of that, sir?

TATSUYA KUROKI

I was right, sir.

Kuroki is the manager of the night club Asia.

Any prior convictions?

No criminal record, but he arrived here from Kobe three years ago.

- I don't have any specifics beyond that. - I see...

So Kuroki's about the only link between the two incidents, right?

Yes.

Right, then...

Let's take a closer look at Kuroki and Club Asia.

Bomba!

My SOHQ

Bomba!

Your song

_ Hey» VOu! ' Sir?

- Is Kuroki around? - The manager?

Ah, Mr. Kuroki, this gentleman's asking for you.

Welcome.

Scotch.

- For the gentleman too. - No, I'm fine.

Why not?

I don't believe a glass of whiskey constitutes a bribe of a policeman.

- So, go ahead. - No.

You're a hard case. Just for the record, I have nothing to hide.

I've always detested criminal behavior.

- Let me introduce my bartender Hajima. - Pleased to meet you.

Don't get on his wrong side. He was the toughest guy in the Ginza!

Mr. Kuroki, let's not drag up the past.

You practice karate, too?

It's just a hobby.

What do you think? Isn't she lovely?

Yes? Yeah, it's me.

What's his alibi? Eh?

I see... Thanks for calling.

A dead-end?

They caught him for a stick-up in Osaka. Been in prison since last week.

How are you doing, Toshiro?

Zip, zilch, nada!

- Every lead's come to zero. - At least you still have some leads.

Anyhow, make a report to each department involved in the investigation.

What is it? What's happened?

- Move over. - That's strange.

Hey!

Are you alright? What happened?

Hang in there! What happened to you?

Stay with me!

- How is she? - Thanks for waiting.

The puncture went from her back all the way into her heart. A fatal injury.

She fell almost immediately after being stabbed.

She must've died pretty much instantaneously.

What's wrong?

Not a single person saw the assailant.

She was screaming in broad daylight. Someone must've seen the killer.

But nobody saw anyone at the crime scene or even running away.

- That doesn't seem plausible. - And yet, it's a fact.

- Sorry I'm late. I'm Kusunoki. - Hello.

This way, please.

Hayama... the victim pointed her finger upwards, right?

No doubt about it.

But there was nothing there. And then she died.

By the way, how did Kuroki's alibi check out?

He said he went home from Club Asia and spent the night with a woman.

Of course, there's no third party to corroborate the story.

The story about Club Asia stinks, though. I don't know what he's up to.

Still, I think we can rule him out.

He doesn't use matches, he uses his own lighter.

Were you able to confirm the identity?

It's definitely Noriko Maeda. Poor girl...

- Can you think of anything...? - No, nothing.

She was a serious, honest girl. She didn't have an enemy in the world.

Were there any men in her life?

No, I looked into that, but she wasn't that kind of girl.

She lived alone, and her apartment was spotless.

Where on earth was Miss Maeda going?

We have absolutely no idea.

But I thought it was a bit odd

that she left without saying where she was going.

So it happened while you were out of the office?

I was on the roof, practicing golf.

She was a very proper girl, nothing like this has ever happened before.

Mr. Kusunoki, I'm sorry to trouble you, but could you show us your office?

There might be a clue in her desk.

You're absolutely welcome.

- Shall we go right now? - Yes. Let's go, Tada.

Find anything?

No. As you said, everything seems all above board.

- Anything there, Hayama? - No. It's clean here.

Where on earth could she have been going?

I just don't know...

Do you have any other employees?

No, none. This is a small business, so one employee suffices.

What do you do for a living?

My real job is in import-export, but that makes no money.

That's why I've been trying to make a little on the side.

- And you own this building? - Yes. ljust built it.

But it's getting hard just to get by nowadays in Japan.

Please, have a seat.

If I'd known how tough it would be here, I'd have stayed in South America.

But constructing a building like this, that's quite an achievement.

Well, ljust wanted to be able to make a living playing golf.

I entrusted my business to Miss Maeda, and look what happened to her.

I implore you to find the perpetrator of this ghastly crime.

If it will help, I can even put up my own money as a reward.

Please, you must solve this.

INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT

Evening, sir.

It's alright, stay seated.

- Any news? - Well, his alibi checks out.

Several people saw him playing golf at the time of the murder.

I looked into his background, and there doesn't appear to be any dirt.

He's a gentleman, with a good reputation.

So long as his alibi is airtight, there's no problem.

Where's Hayama?

He went back to check out Club Asia.

Hey! What happened? Who did this to you?

Stay with me!

Who did this to you?

Please accept my apology. He was murdered on my watch.

It wasn't your fault. You had no reason to believe he'd be murdered.

At least we know we're looking for the same killer

who murdered Miss Maeda.

Also, the motive wasn't money in either case.

I think this is a breakthrough in the case.

From where the murder occurred,

it's clear that Hajima was on his way to Mieko's apartment.

But was it a crime of passion or a grudge?

Find out everything you can about Hajima.

Captain, I just thought of something.

There was Watanabe, the construction company CEO murdered on that flight,

and before that, Dr. Shimane, stabbed in the hospital waiting room.

Also, there was Dainishi Ogami, stabbed in the Teikyo Hotel bathrooms.

They all have one strange thing in common.

I figured it out as I was going over my notes again.

All three men briefly served together, just before the end of the war,

in the Southern Islands.

- That's strange. Were they army? - Yep.

It was a technology-related operation, involving both army and civilian personnel.

Their ranks were different, so I doubt they knew each other.

I doubt it has anything to do with this case.

When a case goes nowhere, you start seeing all kinds of patterns.

Occupational hazard, eh?

- Sir, there's another similarity... - What is it?

Miss Maeda and Hajima had one other thing in common.

- Related to the war? - Well, it's a little off the wall...

What is it?

- It's a sound. - A sound?

When Hajima was murdered, there was a strange buzzing sound.

Also, when Miss Maeda was killed, she pointed upwards,

and I'm quite sure she heard the sound then, too.

When you say a "strange sound", what do you mean?

Just like a housefly.

A fly? But they're all over the place.

Immediately before he was murdered, he was swatting a bug away from his face.

- Judging by that... - Hayama...

I hope you're not suggesting that the murderer was a housefly!

Mr. Hajima? There was nothing going on between us.

I wouldn't be seen with a bartender.

It's rude, asking such questions at this early hour.

What are you rubbernecking at? If you think I'm lying, then ask around!

Hello? Oh, Wakabayashi.

What? The sound of a buzzing housefly?

What are you talking about?

In theory, it'd be possible for a human to float around

if they shrank sufficiently in size.

But that's just in theory. I think it's safe to say it's impossible.

There's a highly poisonous fly called the tsetse in the South Seas.

But who could bring it back into this country?

The invisible ray? Well, it wouldn't have any effect.

Very well, see you soon.

What did Wakabayashi want?

There was the sound of a housefly at the scene of the murder.

We get caught up in some fanciful notions, but these are even worse!

Was it the human fly?

The human fly? Come on, you're a scientist!

Mr. Tsukioka!

I want to ask you to prioritize the imperceptibility research.

Completion of that research will allow the most heinous of crimes to be solved.

Get a grip!

Our research into cosmic radiation is for the advancement of modern science.

The transparency ray is merely tangential.

I'm sure you understand.

Hajima couldn't have died in such an unbecoming manner.

According to the newspaper, you saw the whole thing.

Yes. It's just like the paper says.

Right...

Whoever wants to frame me for this has the police on their side.

This is no laughing matter!

The police have no interest in getting involved in your personal vendettas.

Have a seat.

No matter.

I'll wring the neck of whoever's responsible with my own hands.

By the way, Mr. Kuroki, did the dancer Mieko

have any other boyfriends aside from Hajima?

Are you asking if a jealous suitor killed Hajima?

It's strange that an object turns invisible by projecting a ray of light onto it.

It's science. Optics, actually.

Science is steadily making man's dreams and desires a reality.

Then why did we invent the atomic and hydrogen bombs for destruction?

They were simply coincidental byproducts of atomic research.

Since it came from research on cosmic rays,

the invisibility ray might be the same, right?

I prefer to call it the imperceptibility ray.

It was originally referred to as the "sun ray".

Dinner is served.

Everything looks wonderful.

I wonder what happened to Mr. Sugimoto.

I'll Call him.

Don't bother. He eats like a horse, he'll be along soon!

Akiko, turn on the radio.

- Eh? - What's wrong?

It switched on by itself.

The switch must be faulty. Sugimoto can check it later.

- Damn it, Sugimoto! - Mr. Sugimoto!

Forgive me, Akiko, I didn't mean to frighten you.

I came when I got hungry. Unfortunately, I can't eat this way.

So human skin doesn't absorb the rays?

That's right, your face, your hands and other body parts

exposed to the sun's rays for long periods of time don't work.

That's why I've kept my face wrapped up and my hands gloved.

How has it affected you physically?

Well, my appetite remains unchanged.

I must apologize for using it so extensively

without consulting you, Mr. Tsukioka or the professor.

What on earth were you thinking?

You know better than anyone that we don't understand

how to restore your appearance, and the methodology is still unclear.

I'm really sorry.

I couldn't help myself.

I thought that if I tested it on myself,

Mr. Tsukioka would be willing to move forward with the research.

Please, Mr. Tsukioka, I can be your guinea pig! Please!

Mr. Tsukioka, I'm begging you!

Sugimoto...

I want someone who can get the job done.

Money?

We'll decide that when I see your work.

Come by train tomorrow.

What do you want?

Damn you!

THE ROUGE ROOM

He's late.

You're late. Where've you been dawdling?

- Hey! - Shut up! Leave me alone.

You should know better than anyone how I feel.

It's been so long, I've forgotten.

Butjust to let you know, we're practically out of the agent.

That's impossible.

There was a huge cache of it on the island.

Only the underground supply was taken,

but that should've been enough for an entire battalion.

Don't waste your breath, it won't help matters.

I've had enough of your bungling.

What do you think I've bungled?

- Why did you kill Hajima? - He was putting the moves on Mieko...

Damn it, I won't let anyone touch Mieko!

Even now, that bastard Kuroki...

Get a hold of yourself!

You're crazy with jealousy.

That's why you killed Noriko Maeda as well, isn't it?

There's no way I'm giving you another ampoule!

Please, you have to give me just one!

Sometimes, I just can't take it.

I'll do anything you ask. Just give me one!

No way.

Mr. Kusunoki, I've done everything you've...

Shut up!

This building, the night club...

I've just been after small potatoes.

I was the one who was convicted as a war criminal

and then abandoned on that island.

Watanabe, Shimane, Ogami...

They used this post-war turmoil to escape.

I was the one left holding the bag.

Those bastards!

After that... I went through six years of hard labor.

The only revenge that will satisfy me

will be for them to die by the very chemical that they created!

And you will be the one to carry it out!

You've grown more cruel as time goes on.

- You're killing people like they're insects! - I get it, I get it.

Please, Mr. Kusunoki, just give me an ampoule!

Just one ampoule.

Get out. Go straight to Club Asia.

But don't go running your mouth off to Mieko!

Okata, take this to Detective Sato.

What time was it...

...when Hayama made that phone call?

Just before 9:00.

- Reporting back, Captain. - What happened?

Three persons from Kobe. They're here of their own free will.

Good work.

Tada... it's 10:00.

DET. HAYAMA BRUTALLY MURDERED POLICE TURN UP NO CLUES

Captain, maybe we should pick up Yamada.

I don't see any other way.

No... we can only play that card once.

We don't have anything on Yamada.

And it could clear his name if things go badly.

But the press is screaming bloody murder.

Listen, Tada...

I won't give in to public pressure.

The problem is how to play our hand.

What do you think, Captain?

- Science. - Science?

This is the invisibility ray machine.

I can't believe you did it.

But the machine's so big, you can't make an object invisible anywhere you please.

Actually, it collapses to the size of a portable radio, and is easily transported.

Really? That's incredible.

You haven't mentioned this to anyone, have you?

No, why?

A newspaper reporter came to the professor's house,

and I thought you may be the leak.

Mr. Wakabayashi, this is the restoration ray radiator.

Eh? That will make you visible again?

Tsukioka, congratulations!

Well, I guess you could call it a success...

What's the problem?

I want to be restored from my partially visible state.

Sugimoto...

That's amazing!

- What are you waiting for? - Just watch...

It's been two minutes, it shouldn't take much longer.

When we do an autopsy on the rabbit, we'll find that it had cancer.

A human being is no different.

For that reason, the person made invisible must be prepared to remain invisible

for the rest of his life, or be prepared to die.

Like all the flowers and blossoms

Have burst into flames

How painful love can be

I can't live without you

I shall sing the Bomba of sadness!

I shall dance the Bomba of parting ways!

I shall sing the Bomba of bitter tears!

I shall dance the Bomba of farewell!

As my shoulders shake

And I writhe in agony

I shall hide from the stars and the moon

Now just a distant trace

I shall sing the Bomba of sadness!

I shall dance the Bomba of parting ways!

I shall dance the Bomba of bitter tears!

I shall dance the Bomba of farewell!

Yes?

Mieko, you're up next, please.

Okay.

Inspector, you have to believe me.

This is the only way we can crack this case.

Just listen to yourself...

ranting about men shrinking to the size of a fly and buzzing around!

No one would believe your story!

Wakabayashi, yesterday a dancer was killed at Club Asia.

This rash of murders over the last few months is notjust affecting Tokyo.

The entire country's in a panic!

You can't bring something as implausible as a human fly into the investigation.

It's not all that implausible.

It's possible in theory, and according to Detective Hayama,

when Noriko Maeda was murdered, she was pointing her finger upward.

And when Hajima died, he was swatting around his face.

And the buzz of a housefly was audible.

No one was in the stage pit last night with the dancer who was killed...

Let me ask you...

All three victims died from stab wounds in the back that penetrated their hearts.

That's completely at odds with your theory.

You're tired.

Why don't you take a few vacation days?

Please wait.

Indeed I have been under a great deal of pressure,

but I'm asking you for a few more days, please.

- Tsukioka... - I don't have to make excuses.

I've told you, I won't tell anyone. Just talk to me as a friend.

Look. Look down below.

There could be a hideous crime being committed even as we speak.

Tsukioka, use the invisibility ray on me!

Please, it's the only way to rid this city

of an unstoppable murderer.

But you know the restoration technology is incomplete.

Even if we could retransform you, the fatality rate is...

I don't care.

As an officer of the law, I can'tjust stand by and do nothing.

I just want to be made invisible

so I can stop these terrible crimes once and for all.

That's the duty and responsibility of any officer of the law.

Just as you're a police officer, I'm a scientist.

I can't sacrifice a human life for my work.

Irrespective of how honorable the purpose might be,

my conscience won't allow it.

- You'll have to excuse me. - Tsukioka!

It's gradually getting weaker.

It's no good.

How many minutes was it?

Twenty-eight minutes.

That's odd. Where's Professor Hayakawa?

Professor!

Sugimoto!

- Father! Father! - Professor!

Father!

- Sugimoto! - Professor!

Just a second. I'll try the emergency switch.

Father! Father!

Akiko, don't look! Move back! Professor!

Professor!

PROFESSOR HAYAKAWA MURDERED

AN INSATIABLE RAMPAGE OF BLOODLUST!

Hello? Kusunoki speaking.

I'm sorry about the other day.

Of course, I'll be there. I was just getting ready.

The weather's supposed to be fine. I'll see you tonight at Tokyo Station.

I told you never to come here during the day.

Maybe I shouldn't have come, but I made sure I wasn't followed.

I have no more business with you.

But I have business with you.

If you're after another ampoule, then you can think again.

I ordered you to get the invisibility ray, and you went and killed more people.

You think I'm going to give you another ampoule?

They were just bimbos and fools. ljust got carried away and killed them.

And what about Mieko?

She betrayed me.

Well, anyway, I don't have any ampoules to spare.

I'm not leaving till you give me some.

What are you going to do, shoot me?

It's probably not even loaded!

What are you doing? You can't get rid of me that easily!

Listen... I'm going to the inn tonight.

It's going to go well this time.

I'll definitely need the invisibility ray.

Got it? If you agree...

Agreed.

I'd do anything for this stuff.

Captain, the cause of death was definitely burns from this chemical.

But such severe burns... from such a small amount?

Detective Tada...

It's another locked-room mystery.

The windows were shut tight, and the doors were locked from the outside.

From the outside?

Then how did Yamada get in?

There...

That's the only possible entrance.

But that doesn't seem possible.

- Except for a fly. - A fly?

A human fly!

What are you doing here? This is unacceptable!

- I don't care if you are police officers... - Mr. Kusunoki...

A warrant for your arrest.

Preposterous! You're arresting me on what grounds?

For the past few months,

an untraceable murderer has been terrifying the general public.

We are arresting you as a suspect in these crimes.

Are you interfering with the administration of the law?

Your allegations are absurd. Get out of here.

I'll have my lawyer contact you.

Aside from the crimes listed on the warrant,

you're also under investigation in the bizarre death of one Toshio Yamada.

Yamada's death? When was that?

Yesterday, after midnight at Professor Hayakawa's laboratory.

He died from severe burns all over his body.

Last night I was staying at an inn in lzu. I've onlyjust returned.

If you don't believe me, several people can corroborate my story.

- Let's go. - Get away from me!

If you take me by force, I'll sue you for civil rights violations!

Mr. Kusunoki...

Let me go! Show me your evidence!

I saw everything!

- Who's there? - I'm a witness.

Yesterday, in this very room, what did you order Yamada to do?

You killed Professor Hayakawa and Sugimoto!

You beat me, Tsukioka. I never guessed you were in the room.

Mr. Wakabayashi, I'll go anywhere you like.

Butjust let me change my clothes next door.

I won't try anything funny.

Tada...

Stop!

Damn it.

HOMICIDAL HUMAN FLY AT LARGE IN TOKYO?

Thank you for your cooperation.

What a load of rubbish!

WANTED FOR MURDER: K. KUSUNOKI, THE HUMAN FLY

Eh? What happened?

Hey, out of the way!

Hey, what happened?

Hang in there!

- Tsukioka? - Sorry I'm late. What's the emergency?

We received a call that the Human Fly wanted to talk to us both at 02:00.

02:00? That's now...

- Who made the call? - It was made from a pay phone.

I want to trace it when he calls again.

- Sato, is everything ready? - Yes, all's set.

Yes? It's me.

He's here.

Tsukioka... it seems he wants to talk to you.

Hello, this is Tsukioka.

First, let me say if you try to trace this call,

I 'll just shrink to the size of a bug if you come after me.

Anyway, I want the invisibility ray machine.

Can you hear me?

There 'll be trouble for you if you don't comply.

- So, what's your answer? - Forget it!

Well, that's just as well.

In exactly three minutes, I'll give you a little payback.

Go up to the roof and look down on the railway overpass.

You hear? In three minutes!

Three minutes past...

UNPRECEDENTED CARNAGEI 790 DEAD!!

HUMAN FLY DEMANDS INVISIBILITY RAY!

SECOND EXPLOSION IN A WEEK IF DEMAND NOT MET

PUBLIC OUTRAGE AT POLICE

PARLIAMENT CONVENES EMERGENCY INQUIRY

Although the Human Fly's one-week deadline expires in three days,

we have no way of knowing which target he will seek to destroy next.

Of course, we are tirelessly monitoring

every office building, government facility, hotel, theater and department store.

Furthermore, we plan to ramp up our efforts over the next three days.

Sorry to interrupt...

An urgent message has just been received

by the central Tokyo press corps from the Human Fly.

The press has no reason to turn him down so they're running the story.

They've decided to give us a heads-up in advance.

Here's the article.

"Invisibility ray machine to be brought to roof of Marunouchi World Building

"at midnight on September 14th,

"by Police Captain Wakabayashi alone.

"The Human Fly. "

There now follows a special bulletin regarding the Human Fly.

The National Diet invited the top brass of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police

and together decided that another vicious bombing is inevitable.

In order to avert this, a declaration of martial law is being considered.

According to an announcement by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police,

the whereabouts of the Human Fly, K. Kusunoki, are unknown.

Despite an extensive manhunt, he appears to be hiding out somewhere in Tokyo.

The police have decided to give up their investigation and acquiesce

to the demands of the Human Fly and hand over the invisibility machine.

Unit 98 calling Tokyo Metropolitan Police HQ.

Copy and over, Unit 98.

Police officers dispatched to Shibuya district.

Roger and out.

Unit 99 calling Tokyo Metropolitan Police HQ.

Copy and over, Unit 99.

Police officers dispatched to Ginza district.

Roger and out, Unit 99.

Captain, the police units have all been dispatched.

Tada, I'm heading to the site.

- Is everything ready? - Yes, sir.

You broke your promise.

Well, no matter, I broke mine.

I knew this would happen, so I've primed the bomb to explode.

Where? Where is it?

Don't panic.

There's still eight minutes.

Tsukioka! Invisible Man!

How about you show yourself?

I know you're out here somewhere!

Show yourself!

Why won't he reveal himself? I know he's here.

Still, if you try anything funny, the bomb is already set.

Have you brought it with you?

I guarantee the bomb will explode on time!

Set it down and turn around.

You have six minutes.

Stop!

Stop! Stop, Kusunoki!

Tell me where the bomb is!

You'll find out in four minutes whether I'm bluffing!

No! You must tell me!

- Why don't you just hand it over? - Where is it?

Damn it, you're finally catching on.

Stop!

So you are here, Tsukioka.

I've been looking forward to this.

Tsukioka, stop. What will we do without you?

He'll use the invisibility ray as a weapon.

Tsukioka! Stop!

Kusunoki, it's me who's been waiting for you.

I'll tell you one thing...

The bomb is far, far away, on Christmas Island!

He's coming back.

Miss Hayakawa!

Stop!

Kusunoki!

So, the Human Fly was beaten by the young damsel!

Right! I never dreamed that Akiko would turn up in that helicopter.

It didn't seem real. I don't even remember it.

In any event, you saved the day.

You certainly did.

All's well that ends well, right?

- Anyway, I owe you an apology. - How's that?

I didn't have time to tell you I'd completed the restoration ray.

No apology necessary!

Please wait!

- Captain! You finally solved the case! - Like to make any comment?

I heard you both went to school together.

So what's the outlook for the future of the invisibility ray?

- Captain? - Guys, what's the rush?

I don't see Professor Hayakawa's daughter around...

What happened to her?

She's changing her clothes over there right now.

- Where? - I don't see anyone...

Alright, get ready. Go ahead, Akiko.

Over here, please...

Just once more, eh?

Listen up, everybody.

Dr. Tsukioka would like to say a few words.

I am very happy that my research could assist in this investigation.

In accordance with Professor Hayakawa's wishes,

I will entrust the management of the imperceptibility device

to the government authorities.

That's all I have to say.

There he is!

Professor, please wait!
