Original subtitles

My name is Yamada Naoko.

With a great magician as my father,

Shodo Calligraphy School Owner as my mother,

I am a rather popular magician.

I shall pay a handsome cash reward, to any Medium who could produce a Supernatural Manifestation to my satisfaction.

You mean that I got fired?

You are the 10th Paranormalist today.

Are you really a Paranormalist?

I am the Genuine Article.

Ueda Jiro of Nihon Kagi Dai (University)

It was easy to deceive a Physicist with a tawdry sleight-of-hand.

However,

Huge, coward and insensible Ueda tricked me...

Kirishima... Sumiko?

10 years ago, she started a Religious Group, Mother's Fountain.

She had shown various miracles and mysterious phenomena and drew many followers.

Mind Reading, Divination (Fortune Telling), Levitation...

I want you to prove that she is fake.

Huh?

To awaken people, including Ueda, who had been tricked by fake miracles,

We came all the way to Mother's Fountain.

Kirishima Sumiko used a well constructed Mind Reading using envelops

and grasped hearts of devotees.

Myself and Ueda had been defeated once.

Ueda Jiro-san!

In the name of my late father and the pride of being a magician,

Yamada Naoko stood up, to reveal Kirishima Sumiko's clever tricks,

Again,...

I'm positively sure that she can't read my mind.

TRICK Episode02 Haha No Izumi

If you continue, dreadful things will come to your most important person.

Yet do you still want it?

Then, there is nothing I can do to change your mind.

I see deep into your troubles. I have read your mind.

I worry about

Small Breasts.

That's what you wrote, isn't it?

Small Breasts?

I worry about Small Breasts.

Yes...you are correct.

Wash off your problems. Nagashima Sho.

Everyone, apart from someone's Small Breasts,

Let's resume our session.

I have a problem with bedwetting.

You got me!

Now you can understand the power of Big Mother is real.

So she is really a Paranormalist after all.

Then, what it means is...

I die 2 days later?!

It won't happen, I'm sure.

There must be a trick somewhere.

We have not noticed something.

Ueda-san!

Are you crying now?

Of course not. I'm not crying.

Yes, you're crying.

Don't tell me that.

I've never cried at all since my childhood.

I wonder who it'll be...

Dreadful things will come to my most important person.

Isn't it Me?

Huh?

But you don't have friends nor boy friends, do you?

Besides you have Small Breasts.

What are you saying?

I have quite a lot...

Besides I don't think it is you, Ueda-san.

I've never thought that you are important.

How about your mother?

My mother lives in Nagano.

Big Mother doesn't know it.

Then, it's OK.

Do you feel anything?

The ritual is over.

You must leave here.

I'm sorry. Can we stay a bit longer?

No. Please leave.

Good job.

Now you do it by yourself.

Yuu-kun, you must concentrate.

Goodbye, Sensei.

Goodbye. Be careful.

Hi, Seta-Kun. What's up?

I'm on my way to the patient-visit.

Kito-san's branch family's wife...

She suffers sudden illness.

You must hurry, then.

What are you doing?

There's no rush.

They call me this way, every time.

Naoko...

Do you often get calls from Naoko-chan?

No... not at all lately.

Isn't she cold...

Mother should tell her firmly.

She should come back here and find her husband in this village.

I shall run the election by assuming my father's territory.

You should know that I am not your mother.

I'm sorry to tell you but Naoko has no interests in Seta-kun.

That's why I am here to use your influences.

No mumbling. Hurry to your patient. Hurry, hurry, your patient is waiting, Seta Sensei.

You'd better bring an umbrella with you.

No need. The sky is so clear.

No argument. Take that umbrella and hurry to your patient.

Hi! There's no need to worry about it.

eh?

Once you bear a child, it gets bigger.

Have hope and work hard.

Hey. All you do is to dim lights on the first night.

Take my son for example. He doesn't care about the size at all.

Here is my son's photo.

What do you think?

No thank you.

Please take a closer look.

He is a proud son of mine.

He looks a lot like you.

A good son, too.

Don't you get angry?

Eh?

Damn Big Mother with a victorious face...

She embarrassed me.

It's because you asked for it.

I never thought she guessed it.

Haisuino Jin=one who prepares to exhaust all his strength, who cannot recover if he fails.

Small Breasts, athlete foot, Corn on the foot Hinnyu, Mizumushi, Uono-me

I thought I had to use the final battle formation.

I wondered which one to write.

Smell...

That's right.

It's smell.

In addition to incense, I felt something else.

Sharp smell...

Sharp smell?

Hold it...

What's the matter?

I want to check envelops.

What happens if he comes back?

Just hurry.

These?

Nothing unusual, it seems.

Yes. This smell.

I sensed this smell definitely.

You did.

It's alcohol.

Look and see.

Small Breasts...

Alcohol evaporates fast.

So it evaporates fast and leaves no residue.

"Small Breasts" vanished.

The question is how Big Mother applied this to the envelop.

There is a way.

It's easy to hide a small pouch in hand.

Pouch?

Yes.

Very often you see a trick in magic show.

Pouring liquid into the empty hand.

You put alcohol in a pouch.

Big Mother was rubbing the surface of the envelop.

That's not because she was trying to read the content through her psychic energy.

She was rubbing alcohol.

So she was rubbing alcohol.

TRICK Episode02

Miwako-san

This is the proof of the fraud.

I can't believe it.

If Big Mother can read people's mind,

Why does she need such a trick?

Big Mother's power is not limited to mind reading.

Go to your garden and look around the hedges.

You shall find something your son was trying to tell you.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Wasn't it staged by the people of this cult?

Do you know what you are saying?

Look at this.

Happy BirthdayMom!

This is my son's picture.

Look at this cat.

This isMii,our pet.

Miwako-san

God you believe...

What does God do for you?

To punish you for your sins, God took away your son.

Why does God do such a meaningless thing?

God could have given you punishment directly.

You say you won't go back home, as you regret your sins.

By doing so, you shall sadden everyone who loves you.

These realities could be understood as compensations to your sin?

Let's go home.

No.

If I go with you, I shall be imposing troubles.

Miwako-san...

You don't understand anything.

No one has ever escaped from here alive.

The curse shall be activated.

Just recently, a man escaped from here died in accident.

I have an idea.

Why don't you ask your son?

Eh?

Ask you son if he bears grudge against you or not.

Why don't you ask him directly?

How?

This is a special envelop that connects between heaven and our world.

Dear Kou-Chan Will you pardon your Mom. From Mom

Oyaji Gag. Big Mother says:"Nagashima Shou." Shou was replaced with Shigeo, a former Yomiuri Giant's Player, Manager. He is just like Joe Dimagio.

Nagashima Shigeo

Now you can open the envelop.

No tricks at all.

I haven't touched the envelop at all.

Here you go.

It looks like you got a mail back from your son.

Mom, I am happy. I hope you should be happy, too.

Two layers inside.

Do you always carry these things with you?

No.

I just made it here.

It's easy to make this prop if there are two identical envelops.

Who are you and what are you doing?

A miracle can be made at any moment.

What Big Mother is doing is the same thing.

Don't worry.

I will protect you.

Let's go home...

With me...

No, I can't.

Miwako-san!

No means No.

Are you OK?

Are you alright?

You drank too much...

Where do you think you are going?

Just off to the Convenience Store.

No such a thing within 20 km Radius. 20km=10.7991 Miles

You must know that you can't leave here without permission.

Go back to your room, please.

I see. You are right.

You know... I thought about it a long time...

How about this?

Wait!

Wait!

Ueda-san!

You are very strong, aren't you?

Why didn't you tell me that you are strong?

I learned Karate through Corresponding School.

eh?

I wrote a thesis on Bruce Lee.

It was 1985.

Wait!

Ayrton Senna, are you watching?

When it comes to driving, no one can beat me.

I taught Ralf Schumacher how to drive a car.

You should also forget about it soon.

What about it?

Small Breasts.

I forgot all about it long time ago.

That's good.

Anyhow, it's not so healthy to worry about Small Breasts all the time.

Where am I?

We are already outside Mother's Fountain.

Let me go back.

Haven't you already noticed?

It is absolutely meaningless to stay there.

Honestly, you wanted to escape from there.

But you were scared. So you avoided your own feelings.

Just look back...

Who is coming after you?

They are right behind us.

Wait!

Do you know anything about Bernoulli's Theorem?

This kind of road with many curves,

You must pick the best downcourse.

They ain't have such knowledge!

Ueda-san. We are almost out of gas.

What?

Run! Run like hell!

Wait! Wait!

I can't...

I can't run any more.

Excuse me?

Anybody here?

Somebody is running after us. Please help us.

Damn old man...

Pardon me. Will you open this door?

Excuse me!

Excuse me!

What is it?

One of our followers got kidnapped by outsiders.

It looks that they came here.

Nobody is here.

Hiding them is no good for you.

I'm not hiding them.

Stop lying already...

Anyhow, there is nobody here.

Why don't you look elsewhere?

For now you are safe.

You should stay here for a while.

Much obliged. We are...

You escaped from Mother's Fountain.

I know. There are many like you who came here.

Police must walk a tightrope

to avoid excessive intervention on internal disputes.

Excuse me?

I hold grudge against Mother's Fountain.

I'm also a victim of Mother's Fountain.

In my case, it was my son.

I persuaded my son to come back home.

My son understood me finally.

He escaped from the mountain and came back here.

Where is your son right now?

You don't say...

He died soon after he came back home.

He suffered from weird disease.

Miwako-san!

They are still out there.

You'd better stay here tonight.

They know that they can't force their way into this house.

They won't break the laws by themselves.

You can use my kitchen freely.

They look gone.

Not a neat room, but...

just for one night. You might be able to escape tomorrow.

Excuse me?

White Fig Tea? Aoki put one whole fig into a tea cup. That's all.

Drink White Ichijiku (fig) Tea.

You mentioned several people asked you for help.

Tasty tea, isn't it? Our White Fig Tea...

Did they escape successfully?

Yes

Not true.

Miwako-san...

How do you know they escaped successfully?

Even if they could run away from here,

They can't escape from the curse of Big Mother.

Not necessarily.

Even your son died...

Miwako-san, Calm down.

I'm here with you.

Listen and listen good.

That Guru put a curse on me.

I die the day after tomorrow.

I never felt danger nor scared of the curse.

You are not alone.

Ueda-san...

If police won't interfere,

Unless we expose her methods to the public,

We won't be safe, is that it?

Besides we can't keep on running from them.

Big Mother said that anyone who escaped from her would receive her curse.

Sooner or later, Miwako-san must face the curse.

If nothing happens to her, Mother's Fountain will lose its face.

They will attack Miwako-san, disguising such attack as part of the curse.

I hope you are not using Miwako-san...

as bait...

Bait?

That's what you mean. But I can't do...

Ueda-san,

You have a crush on Miwako-san, don't you?

eh?

You have a Hidden Agenda, don't you?

Nonsense...

You are not alone. I will protect you.

ehe he he he he!!

Who the hell are you?

This is a friendly advice for you.

Ueda-san, when you are lying,

Your pupils grow wide slightly.

As a result,

By watching your eyes, I can understand what Ueda-san is thinking about.

Not possible.

It's because I go into dark area.

Shall I prove it?

I can determine if you are lying or not by watching your eyes.

This is a regular deck of cards.

You pick one card from here.

It's just a magic trick, isn't it?

No way.

It it were a magic trick, Ueda-san can notice the trick.

Look at it and remember it.

Then, put it back again.

You...

I'll punish you if it were a magic trick.

Shuffle well as many times as you like.

I'll open a card one by one.

Ueda-san, you just watch cards.

I watch Ueda-san's eyes and find out what card you picked.

All I must do is to put on my Poker face.

This?

Bull's eye!

How come?

I'd already told you.

Your pupils grow wide slightly.

If you understood, don't oppose or disobey me, from now on.

You don't lie to me. You do whatever I tell you to do.

You got it?

Wait a moment.

I'm not hiding anything.

Let me check these cards.

Another Oyaji Gag:Check & Chuck"Chuck" is a registered trade name in Japan, while "Zipper" is a registered trade name in the USA. "Fastner" is the correct term.

Your fly is open.

No way.

Of course not.

Then, shall we go?

Anii, hold on a minute.

It's bad, isn't it?

Why not?

Are we going to tell them we are detectives?

If we don't tell them, they won't talk to us.

But if we tell them, we can't go back home alive.

No way!

The fact we are here means we are investigating them. Thus, we think they are bad.

What do you think?

Then, shall we go back?

Let's do so.

Wrong

We are from Mineralogy Study Group at Edmund University.

Ishiwara-Kun, we must go that way for good rocks.

Let's go there, Yabe-kun.

Hello, stray pussy cat. Where is your home?

You don't tell me where it is. You don't tell me your name.

Watch it. We are backing up... Stop singing, please.

Nyan, Nyan, Nyan, Nyan....

Will you stop this weird and scary song, please!!

Hello? Mother...

Naoko...

What's the matter?

Is anything wrong with you?

Why?

Nothing. Then, I'm OK.

Make sure you lock the door when you sleep.

What are you saying all of a sudden?

Where are you right now?

Eh?

You are not at your apartment, are you?

I am fine.

Mother, be careful, will you?

Naoko!

Big Mother...

There is no use escaping.

You die tonight.

Are you awake?

What happened?

Big Mother...

Big Mother appeared right there.

No way.

You must have had a bad dream.

You slept like a log.

Not really...

I'm sure I had seen her...

Good. You are awake now.

There's no worry. Eat this Kiji Jiru and you feel better. Kiji=Pheasant Jiru=Soup

Kiji Jiru?

I shot down a beautiful kiji. Kiji=pheasant

Smells good, doesn't it?

No need to hold back. Eat well.

Please eat it.

I'm sorry but I'm a vegetarian.

I'll eat only vegetables inside.

Eat like a man!

Kiji is a National bird of Japan. Kiji=pheasant

I will remain outside guarding the house.

I will know immediately if someone comes here.

There's no worry at all.

I'll feed you a bear meat tomorrow.

This is Mazui. mazui=yucky

Miwako-san,

Aoki-san is guarding outside, so we are safe here.

I sleep here, too.

I see.

Then, I will join...

You stay at the corridor.

Please have some.

I'm sorry I couldn't come sooner.

I was out on some choirs.

You could have told us that you were here for investigation.

We are not doing anything illegal at all.

The term "Investigation" might not be correct. We are here to check some matters only.

We are already satisfied.

I had seen, heard and felt your peaceful place vividly.

As this is a place for saving people,

We can't offer you Sake, but...

Please have some.

We are here on duty.

This bottle might go very well with Mizuwari. Mizuwari=diluting whisky.

May I bring back some with me?

Please. Take as much as you want.

1-liter, 2-liter even 1-ton is fine with us.

It's not a big issue, but...

There is a rumor that everyone escaped from here died miserably.

Yes, the rumor is correct.

We've heard that quite a lot of people took the bad fate after they left here.

However, we have nothing to do with their fate.

Everything is based on God's will for your life!

Mother!

Hey!

Yes?

What's up?

Don't what's up me!

I've noticed a critical matter.

What is it?

You tricked me.

It's a lie that my pupils grow wide.

I found a trick on these cards.

I found a trick on these cards.

This pattern looks up-down symmetry.

But it isn't so.

Here.

You have lined up the direction of the cards.

And you asked me to pick one card.

And I remember the card.

And you swapped the direction of the cards.

And you asked me to put a card back inside.

The card I remembered is upside down.

No matter how many times I shuffle, it won't change.

You are not watching my eyes.

You are watching the back pattern of the cards.

Once you find the upside down card,

that's the card I remembered.

This?

How come?!

If you want to think it that way, I am perfectly OK with it.

As long as you can keep your pride level high...

What a...

Yes, pissed. Why can't you say you're pissed?

I don't care...

Then, do the same test again.

If you are correct,

I'll admit your power fair and sqaure.

Sure.

This

Why!!!!

There was a reflection on your glasses.

Once more.

The result will be the same, I'm sure.

How come?

Trade Secret.

Ueda-san, are you still awake?

Yeah.

Can I talk to you so that I can be awake, too?

It's better not to remember it...

About what?

Small Breasts!

Ueda-san, do you have a complex, too?

None.

Possibly too huge...

Eh?

If too huge, very often it's too clumsy to use, isn't it?

How did you know?

When did you see it?

At that time...

I see. You have such a hobby.

Huh?

You've been watching it, haven't you?

What's wrong with being huge?

That's the one thing men love most...

What are you saying?

I'm talking about your height.

Do you think the Guru come here?

Yes, definitely tonight.

But how does she come inside?

It beats me.

No matter how hard I think, it's not possible.

Ueda-san, you said the same thing when you saw my magic trick.

I never said so.

Ueda-san, you tend to touch your chin.

Yes.

Don't you want to know why I can see through your lies?

Ueda-san, when you lie, your fingers move...

Hey!

When I lie,

My fingers move... what?

hey!

Don't stop there. Finish off the sentence.

Hey!

Hey!

You slept?!

I was wrong...

There is really...

a Paranormalist...

Darling!

Who is it?

Miwako-san!

Miwako-san, Good moring.

What's the matter?!

What's the matter?

She is dead.

Anii, isn't it strange?

What?

Another former cult member got murdered.

Everything is based on God's will for your life, they said.

But I still think they have something to do with the murder.

It's not fair after you got water from them.

You must not forget about appreciation.

Where is the body?

This way, sir.

And this is Professor Ueda of Nippon Kagi Dai.

Wow, what a coincidence to bump into each other!

My name is Yamada Naoko.

It was very unfortunate you were involved in this.

But we are so fortunate that you are here.

Shall we go?

Ueda sensei, you've been outside the screen door.

All windows were locked.

It was impossible for someone to enter.

Yes.

Miwako-san was murdered,

by people from Mother's Fountain.

Who are you?

She is the one who found her dead.

She was sleeping in this room with the victim.

Sleeping with the victim?

And you didn't notice anything...

I'm sorry.

Show me your hands.

eh?

Both hands right this way.

You are under arrest.

No, I'm innocent.

Then, who else could have done this?

We'll ask for warrant for your arrest.

What's your name, age and occupation?

I've already written all.

Yamada Naoko, 23 years old.

Occupation is "juggler"

juggler?

No, I'm a Magician.

Then, you are the one who murderd her.

No, I am not. I am not the one who killed her.

Isn't that right, Ueda?

Don't call him like a friend. Do you know who he is?

You know... she is...

Can you uncuff this?

I've seen a Handcuff Escape Show on TV.

Not possible.

This is a real thing, isn't it?

Then, you do use a fake one.

Then, you've been tricking innocent people.

You're a funny woman.

Take her to the Headquarters.

Anii, no proof yet.

You are correct.

Sensei, butt out. I can coerce confession through beatings and food deprivation.

Yabe-san, can I have a sec?

What is it that you want?

Ueda-san, do something, will you?

What?!

I got it.

You are innocent.

She comitted a suicide.

Suicide?

The cause of her death is poison.

Under futon, we found a pill bottle.

We found a suicide note in her apron pocket.

She regretted that she escaped from Mother's Fountain.

Not possible.

She was murdered.

By you?!

Excuse...

this?

You can uncuff it.

I'm saying I can't uncuff it.

So you have no skill and talent.

You are responsible.

You forced her to die.

What have you done to her?

You!

Life is just like...

Hey, you can't go in.

Hands Off!

Hey you!

We are under investigation. Do you hear?

She is not listening at all.

Give me one minute.

Ep02 Aired on July 14.2000 TV Asahi (11:09P.M.~ 00:04A.M Slot)

My name is Yamada Naoko.

With a great magician as my father,

Shodo Calligraphy School Owner as my mother,

I am a very popular magician.

And him...

His name is Ueda Jiro. He is a physicist at Nippon Kagi Dai.

He is truly insensible.

He is just huge. And he tricked me into this.

I stood up for a showdown with Kirishima Sumiko, aka Big Mother, who has performed fake miracles.

Mother!

I worry about

Small Breasts.

Currently 2 losses in a row.

We successfully persuaded, Miwako-san, who'd shown adoration to Kirishima Sumiko. We escaped from Mother's Fountain.

However,...

There's no gas.

What?

The person who had sheltered us is...

I hold grudge against Mother's Fountain.

Where is your son right now?

He died soon after he came back home.

Aoki-san was also a victim who had lost his son due to the curse of Big Mother.

To protect Miwako-san from the fake Supernatural Manifestation of Mother's Fountain

We maintained a sleepless vigil during

The following morning...

Miwako-san, Good morning.

You forced her to die.

What have you done to her?

They killed Miwako-san.

But how?

But how?

I, Yamada Naoko, was at that time...

TRICK Episode03 Haha No Izumi Conclusion

At that time, a sudden drowsiness fell on me.

Nobody but Miwako-san and I slept.

Hey, juggler, what are you doing?

" Kindaichi Kousuke or Hajime. In this case, I bet he is referring to Hajime", the Young Kindaichi.

You pretend to be Kindaichi?

Have some Kiji Jiru and you feel better.

This is Mazui. Mazui=Yucky

Mother...

National Bird... wasn't it Toki? "Japanese Crested Ibis"

No. It's Kiji (Pheasant)

kiji

kiji, it is.

Don't be so downhearted.

It's not your fault.

What's the meaning of this?

You are an accomplice.

You staged to help us,

You helped them to kill Miwako-san.

What's all the commotion?

No Use Pretending!

I've already found it.

You have a Big Mother's Portrait Picture.

That belongs to my son. I just left it there.

Why doubt over a Portrait Picture?

That's not all.

Last night, Miwako-san and I fell into sleep abruptly.

But Ueda-san didn't get drowsiness.

Ueda-san pretended to be a vegetarian so he did not eat Kiji Jiru.

So you suspect I drugged Kiji Jiru?

Yes.

Listen. Suppose I am an accomplice like you say...

But she was in the room with you.

Nobody came into the room.

This fact is verified by the professor over there.

Right?!

Without coming into the room, you could kill Miwako-san.

Hey, you! Stop right there!

Running away?

Stay right here!

Running away?

I saw through your diabolical plot. Through and through!!

That's interesting.

Let me hear it.

How could we kill Oomori Miwako?

Ueda-san,

Ueda-san, you said there was no one who had gone into the room, didn't you?

In opposite, wasn't there someone who came out of the room?

Miwako-san, perhaps?

Yeah.

She woke up and came out of the room.

And what did she do after that?

What's up?

I got thirsty.

Didn't she drink water from the faucet?

Poison was set in the water faucet.

The culprit is Water Bureau, then?

Because of Kiji Jiru, Aoki-san offered,

Miwako-san and I had gone to sleep.

With the help of Aoki-san, you came here.

You took out the faucet in the garden.

And poured poison down from there.

Poison spreaded around the water pipe.

The pipes between the garden faucet and the kitchen are connected.

It's the principle of Maximum Entropy, then.

What is it?

"Detective Ishizuka is thinking about "Intro" Quiz. Listen to the intro and then name the artist and the title."

"Entro" & "P" key button should be pushed, right?

That's right. Listen to "Entro" & answer. Entro Quiz P, right, Professor.

Science cannot explain everything.

Miwako-san drank water and died.

You placed a Pill Bottle and a Suicide Note during the turmoil of her death.

I see.

Poison shall be drained away by running water in the garden, leaving no proof at all.

What if Oomori Miwako did not drink water?

What if this one or Ueda-san drank instead of Oomori?

Instead of Miwako-san, if I died,

You could claim the curse fell on me.

Ueda-san's case is much easier, as he was cursed already. He should deserve to die.

What's your opinion, detective?

How about "suicide" this time?

That's not good for us.

How about you, two... Will you come to Mother's Fountain again?

There, why don't we discuss this matter?

But yet...

It might make this matter complicated.

What will you do?

Do you wish to run away from us?

I understand. Shall we go then?

Kids are playing 'Bettan'. It's a thick piece of cardboard with a picture printed on its face. You aim at flipping the opponent's cards.

Hey! What's up?

Seta!

Sensei isn't here.

Show respect to adults.

Fine! I won't vote for you.

I'm sorry.

Higuma bear, is only found in Hokkaido. Seta apparently has no psychic power to readDeathwarning sign.

Japan's No 1 Evening Twilight HIGUMA

Higuma?

You must realize that you forced one human being to death.

And now you pass the responsibility to us.

We just want to reveal the truth.

No proof of anything...

You are treating us like criminals in Tyrant's Court.

If you intend to accuse me,

Be prepared for the same.

Prepared for what?

How about your index finger?

Mother prohibits gambling.

Shut up!

You are a magician, aren't you?

Give me your index finger that'll be the life line as a magician.

You should wait, Mother.

Her mother says No.

Neither does My mother on Gambling.

Shut up!!

I can read your mind.

From now on, I will prove it to you.

In your mind...

Imagine 2 digit number.

Any number will do.

After you decide the number,

Write it on the paper. Hide it from me, of course.

I will tell you what number you selected.

If I lost, I shall lose my dignity among these Executive Directors.

Mother's Fountain will collapse.

However,

If I win,

I would like to receive your right index finger for my reward.

Do you accept my challenge?

Don't tell me you accept her challenge.

Sure.

Idiot! Stop it.

What'll you say to your mother?

What if this mother is real?

She isn't real.

Then, write it on that paper.

Hide it from me.

If you want to check the room, please do so. There is no mirror nor concealed camera.

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

From the Two Digit Number you wrote, tell me theFirst Digit.

It's4.

4

Now the2nd digit.

It's7

There is really...

a Paranormalist...

Darling!

Darling!

Darling!

Protect Naoko...

7

Bull's Eye !

You keep your promise, you hear?

I shall receive your index finger.

We shall receive it.

They say they shall receive it.

They shall receive it...

Wait!

Wait!

Wait!

Where did you go?

Stop right there!

Wait!

I know you are strong.

Why do you run away if you are strong?

If you understood her trick,

You could've told her on the spot.

What do you say now! I beat you!

In reality, you have no idea, don't you?

There is one thing that bugged me.

It's what Big Mother said before you write the number.

Do you remember?

If you want to check the room, please do so.

There is no mirror nor concealed cameras.

Big Mother wanted you to check the room.

For what reasons?

I don't know.

But it bugged me.

There must be some tricks.

There you are...

All together!

You could have run away...

Anii...

If these two were killed,

it shall be a big problem to us police.

But how do we rescue them?

Not possible only by me.

Do you want to try your luck alone?

Why me only?

Anii, why don't you call help from the headquarters?

Nagashi-Somen Thin, white noodles are put in water flowing along a long sink, from which diners catch the noodles with their chopsticks and dip them in a cool broth before eating them.

After we call help, and we dash into the site.

What will happen if they are having a Hand Roll Sushi Party or Nagashi Somen Festival or something?

I lose my face.

Hey!

What's that windmill for?

Dutch mill?

Do they wear wooden shoes?

Is there a boy at the river bank?

They use water pumping windmill. That's all.

And they sell bottled water.

The windmill is considered to be the Holy Fountain.

I understand.

Thus, Mother's Fountain.

Little by little, the truth of this cult has been revealed by us.

No. They are all written in this pamphlet.

Shall we call it a day?

Anii...

What shall we do about those two?

Hey, when there is no wind, what do they do about it?

Possibly they use electricity.

Then, why not use electricity from the beginning?!

Let's have lunch.

Anii...

We are now preparing Dan-Shi-Shiki.

Well...

Danas in "Cutting or Chopping",Shias in " finger" andShikias in Ceremony.

Your wrong doings... We don't wash them this time.

Wait!

Will you spare her life?

I forced her to bring here along.

If you must,

I will give you my life.

Ueda-san...

That's absolutely OK with us.

You have your own rules once decided...

No, not at all. Fine with us.

Dan-Tou-Shiki (Chopping/Head/Ceremony) then?

Where did we keep a guillotine machine?

Ueda-san...

Why?

In the eyes of society, I had to do it.

What does "show off" pay back to you from the bad guys?

They won't even think your death was a loss to the society.

Are you crying now?

Of course not!

You are crying from every angle.

I never cried in my whole life. Not even once.

"Ueda-shan never dies." This line is an obvious copy from "101th Proposal".

Listen.

Ueda-shan never dies.

It's stupid to give up hope.

Don't forget you graduated from Super A Class University.

I graduated from undergraduate institutions.

Yes, undergraduate, of course.

I want you to know one thing before I die.

Yes?

Mine is not so big.

What?

You might have a big misunderstanding about it.

Ueda-san...

You have a big one...

Not true, I said.

I am a very talented Physicist.

You are a very talented Physicist with a big penis.

I am a very talented Physicist.

I want to prove it to you. What should I do?

Think of the ways we can escape from here.

There is one sure fire way.

The Art Of Mental Calculation! An-zan

4 digits (four) fundamental rules of arithmetic, I can answer it instantly.

Give me a question.

5643x3289=

18,559,827

Surprised?

I have no idea if the answer is correct or not.

Is it fun to play mental calculation?

Are you mocking me?

You shall get a punishment.

You already got one.

I don't think so.

You!

Hey!

Yamada Naoko-san...

Knowledge will make it possible to solve entrance exams, but not possible to untie ropes.

If knotted rope has even numbers, you musn't pull it.

It's based upon Topology Theorem.

You've been tied with hands this way.

If you had done this way, you secured to gain the necessary slack for a starter to escape.

That's topology, too.

But the lowest level, of course.

So even numbered knotted rope... You musn't pull.

OK now.

You untied?

No, I cut it.

Ueda-san

You think I have been a drag.

Only if I didn't say such a thing...

You could've escaped from here sooner.

What's all the commotion!?

I can't escape leaving you here.

Are you sure?

Yes, true.

What?

I told you once. Ueda-san, when you are lying, Your pupils grow wide slightly.

By any chance, you don't remember what you told me last night?

Ueda-san

When you lie, your fingers move...

Last night, did I say something strange?

Not really...

If you don't remember, that's OK.

What do you say? Am I lying now?

You must say something.

I am an American.

Lie

I am from Inadaira, Musahi Murayama City, Tokyo.

Lie

I tried to save Yamada Naoko-san truthfully.

Lie

Seems not working...

Getting confused.

That's correct.

You thought I analyze your finger position?

Wrong Guess

Some of Scrolls:Let's do 5.6.Open heart and accept all.Love thyself.Thig month's target. 3 followers by 1.Aim. 8-29 Fatherings.30001 day 5 Times.

You, be quiet.

Ueda!

Kirishima Sumiko asked you to imagine one 2 Digit Number.

How did you get the number?

How?

You tried to pick unintentional random number.

The number that has no rules nor relations to anything.

That's right.

The deeper you think about random numbers,

The more numbers one eliminates from his selection.

For example, 33 or 55.

?ZOROME?or a sequence of the same number shall not be selected.

And one more thing.

One does not pick the number one had seen somewhere.

Big Mother lead you to check this room.

When you look around, there are many scrolls with numbers.

Whether you like or not, you will see these numbers.

Without knowing it,

Certain numbers has been added to your elimination lists.

As a result, you shall eliminate those numbers.

Now the numbers you can pick is limited.

The most probable numbers you pick will be4and7.

She picked two plates. She revealed the number based upon your answer.

"7" "4"

Thus, it does not matter which number is the first number or the second number now.

With this, probability ratio doubled.

This is the trick Big Mother had predicted your number.

I doubt it.

eh?

It's true that I might pick4and7.

But it's not perfect.

Do you really think that Big Mother took that risk?

I'm positively sure.

This is the right answer.

In the name of Pierre de Fermat...

Somebody is coming.

I'm going to meet Big Mother now.

I'll challenge her with the trick I discovered.

If I don't come back after 30 minutes,

You must...

I'll escape alone. Go to the police.

I'll escape alone. Go to the police.

I'll escape alone. Go to the police.

Why on earth are you doing here?

I wish to meet Big Mother.

I discovered how she had done her Mind Reading.

Sure, I can take you...

Can't you make up your mind? You escaped and come back and demand to meet her and escaped...

You must decide what you really want.

Damn huge guy!!

I am not Ueda Jiro.

I am Ueda Jiro.

Aren't you Ueda-san?

Silence!

I am an American.

I am not an American.

Watch Ueda's nose!

I see.

Now I understand.

I hate Shaku Yumiko.

I love Shaku Yumiko.

Nose, it is.

When I lie, my nose moves.

Did I squash your balls?

No problem.

What?

Where are we going?

This is a bath room.

Are you sure Big Mother is here?

You should escape here alone.

Does it mean I must swallow Big Mother's tricks?

Big Mother is a genuine Paranormalist.

Everyone is deceived by her cheap tricks.

It's true that any miracles can be explained by magic tricks.

But what do you get from those explanations?

There's no proof that Big Mother had used tricks.

Is that the reason why you let your son and Miwako-san died?

Unless otherwise, I was killed already.

This place is much more horrifying and scary place than you imagined.

So you know something, don't you?

What's Big Mother up to?

Aoki-san, tell me.

Ueda-san is going to die soon.

And he shall be killed by you.

By me?

Why?

Aoki-san!

I've been waiting for you.

Where is Ueda-san?

Why did you kill Aoki-san?

Aoki tried to betray us.

God punished him.

Everyone why are you keeping your mouth shut?

Why don't you do anything about her?

Look!

Ueda-san!

Is this trick, too?

This is a mirror trick.

The one I am watching is a reflection of Ueda-san on the mirror.

It's not real Ueda-san.

It's a 100 year old magic trick.

If you claim it is a magic trick,

Shoot him with this gun.

Ho-Sui-Myo!

Don't shoot me.

Don't shoot me.

Shoot him!

Shoot him if it's a trick.

This is not a magic.

Ho-Sui-Myo...

Ho-Sui-Myo...

Are you awake?

Seta-kun...

I worried about you.

You had a high fever.

A villager found you lying unconscious at the small shrine.

What have you been doing there?

Ho-Sui-Myo!

Shoot him!

This is not a magic.

Ueda-san, someone is behind you. Right?

No!

This is real.

Don't shoot me.

He shall be killed by you.

Don't shoot!

Stop it. Don't shoot!

Stop it!

Look. It was just a mirror magic.

You haven't seen any miracles at all.

Executive Directors, go back to your rooms.

Assembly adjourned.

Wait!

Hey!

This is the trick of Levitation.

It's wrong.

Damn you!!

Stop it, Tsumura!

Our time has run out.

Let's end it here.

Big Mother, what are you saying?

You cared only about your profit. You didn't even care about the followers...

Hands off!

Don't listen to her.

I noticed just right now.

I've been deceived by her.

Tsumura!

Wash off our problems.

Wash off our lives.

Call Doctor!

Yes!

Why?

Why did you do that?

There is one thing you are wrong.

When I said I could read people's minds...

It is true...

In this world,...

There is really a special people who possesses such powers.

Long before this Mother's Fountain was established...

I lost everything... I even failed in killing myself.

But when I came to senses,

I realized a miraculous power within me.

There is no need to worry. Your problems have been vanished.

I could read various people's minds through my hand.

Thank you very much.

One day Tsumura came to visit me...

Your power shouldn't be exercised in this small scale...

There are many more people who need help.

Around this place was ...

a property of Aoki...

Tsumura persuaded Aoki...

He built a big windmill.

He made me a Paranormalist called Big Mother.

Why did you follow him?

I was just stupid.

Total number of people I could save with my small hand is limited.

Of course, I can't save such a big number of people, either.

I can read your memory...

I can see the dark side of your mind.

The little girl is standing by the lake.

On the shore... your father and mother...

Father!

Darling!

Father!

Darling!

Darling!

Darling!

Darling!

Darling!

Darling, don't die...

You have seen...

what had happened there...

Darling!

Darling!

Don't die!

Darling!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Your father was...

killed...

by real...

powerful...

Paranormalist.

Your father challenged a showdown and was killed by this person.

Where is this person now?

Sooner or later, this person will show up in front of you.

You shall be killed by him.

The crimes they committed

shall be revealed soon.

Everyone,

Let's leave here.

Wake up everyone.

There was no real Big Mother.

She was just a fake illusion they created.

What's your problem?

Professor! What a marvelous work!

Our lab checked the water pipe and discovered a trace of poison.

The principle of maximum entropy. Victory was with the Physics.

Do you think you can justify your act?

Look. Nothing changed.

Without Big Mother, what do you think they have to rely on?

Life with no hope nor relief, that's what they must face without a savior.

Who has actually tried to save them?

You?

or Us?

Walk!

Bic's Mother is dead!

It's BIG. BIG!

Mother's Fountain lives forever!

I'll be back soon.

Pump up water as usual.

You!

Life is like...

Ueda-san...

I wonder if there is a real Paranormalist.

You worry about such a thing.

I dismiss whatever she said as sour grapes.

It must be from Naoko.

I'll answer.

Mother, you shouldn't overdo.

If it's from Naoko,

Tell her I am fine.

I can't let her worry.

I know all about it.

Hello?

Hi, Naoko!

Your Mom?

Fine!

Fine!

Nothing.

Fine as usual.

You know what?

I shall run the election by assuming my father's territory.

Hello!

Hello!!

Followers must not use Phones.

My mother seems to be OK.

Mother...

You look a lot like Naoko-chan, don't you?

Is that right?

I've been wondering about it for long time...

There is a weird tie between you and Naoko.

When you are grouchy, Naoko is also grouchy.

When you caught a cold, so did Naoko.

When you got injured, so did Naoko.

What are you saying? It's not possible, is it?

Are you sure?

In a way...

If you live together, you might catch cold together.

You aren't living together now.

Come to think of it,

Naoko was talking with nasal voice.

ehe he he he!!

Excuse me?

I need a lift!!

No worry.

I can take you back home by my car.

All the way to Tokyo.

OK?

Are you aware that we have no gas?

Yamada!

Key... key...

eh?

Where am I?

Your home

Eh?

You carried me from Aoki-san's house all the way here?

What are you saying?

On our way from station, you slept.

When I realized how walking makes my brain active,

I remember now.

You are right. I'm sorry.

I was bit heavy, wasn't I?

No, not at all.

Mt. Everestis the highest mountain on the earth. It rises 8,850 meters above the sea, on the border between Nepal and China. Mt. Everest has three names: In the Nepali language it is calledSagarmatha,and in Tibetan it is calledChomolangma(Goddess Mother of the Snows).

When I was a student, I climbed up to Chomolangma with 30kg-backpack.

eh?

Anyway,

You noticed my sign...

It was fortunate.

Sign?

you know...

When I was lifted by wire and forced to act through,

I moved my nose vigorously to tell you that the setting was staged.

What are you saying?

No Need To Pretend.

Then, how did you know that was a reflection on the mirror?

Your wrist watch on your left arm was flopped.

Ueda-san, you can never lie to me in your whole life.

That's fine. I won't see you again, anyway.

I won't see fake Paranormal Phenomena nor your cheap magic.

This is the end.

Yes.

See you.

You'd better forget about Small Breasts.

It's a small matter compared to your major problems with having a big penis.

Idiot!

Case settled...

Shifted a bit...

There is really ...

a powerful Paranormalist.

You shall be...

killed by him.
