The man of my destiny...

Next day

...Delivered the noodles at 1:23?

The worst calamity of your life will befall you.

The worst calamity... today.

Where's Shibata?

Don't ask me!

She was a no show yesterday,

and she's 5 hours late today.

Is that fair?

Don't ask me!

I'll get on her case today.

Stop fooling around! Sorry...! Hello? Hello?

What happened?

He kept playing games with me.

He must be calling in a complaint right now.

I'd write to the papers.

The chief may be called to task.

I'm sorry.

Just be careful.

Better call at Shibata's place.

She may be dead.

Come now.

I'll call her.

Hello?

What's with you?

I'll never find love, Aya!

My hopes were dashed yesterday.

Good-bye to the man of my destiny.

the love of my life...!

Shibata?

I'll live for my job. I'll never be tardy again.

Here, a souvenir for you.

A crab?

Someone's here to see you about a case in October.

When are you going to locate my husband?

Oh, no!

Well, excuse me.

The case is still pending.

That's what you said a month ago!

What case?

Who are you?

I'm Shibata.

An observer?

A detective.

He said he was going to be killed and he was.

There's no proof, and we can't find his body.

My husband's missing.

Gangsters came over, and his friend drowned.

He may be killed.

I'm sorry.

What do the investigators say?

Meaning?

Aren't they investigating?

I doubt they've been assigned.

Haven't they been investigating at all?

It's been turned over to the proper jurisdiction.

I'm going to the media!

I'm serious.

The worst calamity of my life.

It is?

Turn right at the next signal.

What are "balls"?

Shibata!

There.

There's a broken neon sign. The "pin-"is gone.

What a shock!

I thought it meant you-know-what.

Shibata!

Right here.

No one seems to be home.

I'll leave my card to let her know we were here.

We were rude today...

I win! I win!

How much?

3,000 yen.

It's not the amount. It's the tide.

The tide?

I was told the worst calamity of my life will befall me.

But I got lucky and won 3,000 yen.

That is, I changed the tide.

The tide? Hmm.

The phone. Maybe I won. 100 million yen.

Hello? Insp. Saotome?

Turn on the TV, to channel 6!

The police wouldn't take me seriously...!

I found a business card in my mailbox.

Is this it?

This Investigation Division Section 2 specializes

in unsolved cases.

What did you do with her?

We'll contact TTS.

We've invited psychic Saginuma Hijiri to find

Mrs. Aoi's husband with his ESP. Sir?

Will you find her husband, sir?

It's a hoax. There's no such thing as ESP.

There are things you can't explain with logic.

You believe in ESP?

Don't you?

Anything, sir?

I see her husband in yellow clothing.

Psychic Saginuma has gotten up.

Has he located her husband?

Reporter Takanashi is standing by at the entrance.

We'll go along with psychic Saginuma in

our news van.

The studio or the van?

The studio.

What if they find the body?

Our news van is headed towards Oi.

I see... a white building.

It's here.

More east!

Have you located Mr. Aoi, sir?

Something's going to happen.

I have to prevent it.

He's on to something.

The elevator's out of order.

Up there.

We're going upstairs.

We're on the 10th floor. Are you all right, sir?

What is it, sir?

Someone was just...

...murdered.

What did you see?

2nd floor?

Of this building?

Hurry... downstairs!

The 2nd floor!

We're on the 2nd floor.

We're on the 2nd floor, but all the doors are locked.

Well?

To Dewajima, driver.

We got a door open. Let's go inside.

Looks like this room is being remodeled.

Over here!

Dear...!

mystery 5 The Man Who Can See the Future

I see the weapon...

a spanner or wrench in this room.

Here it is!

Bull's eye again. However, we have to go off the air.

The police are here.

We have to preserve the crime scene.

Hello.

Who are you?

I'm Shibata.

And you're...?

What do you think I am? Please make a guess.

A detective?

How did you know?

I can tell.

Are you really a detective?

I'll show you my ID.

I lost my ID.

There it is.

The worst calamity of my life. Just like it said.

He's dead.

Put these on.

Cause of death was a blow to the forehead.

He's warm, meaning he died less than 10 minutes ago.

Don't touch him.

He was killed at the window while making a

phone call at 3:30.

He was found at 3:40, so he was killed within

the 10 minutes. No error.

A taxi receipt. He came here by taxi.

What are you doing here?

Let's go!

You guys again!

Thank you.

Anything?

Nothing.

That's enough. We'll be asking you for information.

You, too, Mr. Saginuma.

I see the killer.

While we were up on the 10th floor,

the killer entered this 2nd floor room where

Mr. Aoi was with a duplicate key.

snuck up behind him as he talked on the phone.

called him, then as he turned

bludgeoned him to death.

The killer tossed the weapon in this room,

locked the door behind him and ran.

And the killer?

Amongst the spectators... in yellow clothing... a male.

Look for a male spectator in yellow!

Excuse me. Just one question.

You said you saw the victim Aoi

in yellow clothing.

Did you really see that with your ESP?

Yes.

You couldn't have.

But he's wearing yellow.

It's his supermarket uniform.

Is that what you envisioned on the TV show?

That was 15 minutes into the show, or at 2:15 PM.

So?

The victim came here by taxi.

In a rush, still in his uniform.

Did someone threaten him?

That I don't know.

Take a look at this.

The victim arrived here at 2:20 and got a receipt.

This receipt was in the pocket of this black coat.

The victim's. That is, when you envisioned Aoi,

he was in this black coat and not the yellow uniform.

How did you envision Aoi in a black coat and

know he wearing yellow clothing?

Did you know the victim beforehand?

Did you know he was a supermarket worker and

that he'd come here in his yellow uniform?

A psychic image isn't like a visual image.

I can see under coats.

Oh?

You can see through clothing? How nice.

What are you trying to say?

Yes, what?

That I'm the one who killed Mr. Aoi?

Exactly.

You said he died between 3:30 and 3:40.

From 2:00 to 3:55 today, I was on TV.

That's when he was killed.

Million of viewers know that I'm not the killer.

Not exactly.

You passed out on the 10th floor.

Between 3:25 and 3:45 when the body was found.

The camera wasn't on you then.

But it was.

We had another camera, a digicam, going

just in case something happened to him. I'll get it.

He came down to the 2nd floor after this.

We have the suspect. He's wearing yellow.

It wasn't me! I only came down to check after watching the TV show.

A co-worker of the victim.

The keys in his pocket.

One of them is to that door.

He's right.

It wasn't me!

We'll know when we check the prints

on the spanner.

He can explain at the station.

It wasn't me...!

You see how inept you police are?

You mistreat cooperating individuals and make

criminals out of them! I've had it with you!

Make sure you broadcast this on TV!

I told you to stay out of it!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry...!

I'm so sorry. Real detectives are far more able.

I'm just a trainee. I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have lost my temper.

Everyone makes mistakes.

I see your future.

Don't worry. You'll get what you want.

A husband?

It's after 6:00. Let's split.

We should return and report to the chief.

I'm sure he's already gotten word.

What?

Nothing.

See you.

Good night.

This case brings out in relief just how

impersonal and inept the police can be.

I'm sorry.

Take it easy. The brass will take care of it.

Did they come down on you, Chief?

This head of mine is made for bowing.

Don't worry.

I used to make the same kind of bungles.

I had a superior who told me he'll take all responsibility.

so be a detective and go after the truth.

He put himself on the line for us.

It was your late father.

My father?

How sentimental of me. Let's call it a day.

Now what?

Hello, it's me.

I may be fired. You saw the news?

You'll comfort me?

We found your prints on the murder weapon.

No way!

What was your motive? Money?

No!

Sure we had a meeting.

So Saginuma knew about Aoi.

Just his name and face. Nothing more.

Don't run away.

Sure you guys didn't put one over us and

fill Saginuma in on Aoi?

We don't do that kind of thing. We'd get fired!

You police didn't know anything about Aoi.

How could we?

"Celebrated as a boy psychic for a year,

then accused of being a fake for 8 years.

His brother, who was his manager, incurred

100 million yen in debt and committed suicide.

He was an escort and a card dealer before

he successfully identified a murderer with his ESP.

What a way to make a living. Do psychics pay less tax?

Isn't that tape evidence?

It's the original. What if you erase it?

You're right What should I do?

I'll dub it for you, so take it back tomorrow.

Balls?

Balls.

She's gone.

Thank you.

You're a big star.

I'm very fortunate.

You sure are.

You've been known as a fake for 8 years.

But I'm not.

Come on. Look what they wrote.

You'll kill someone. Or have you already?

Shall I see?

I can do that, too.

You killed Aoi.

No, I didn't.

Whatever. Excuse me.

Don't go off on your own, you problem child!

Mayama.

The chief was worried about you.

Is it morning already?

No, evening.

I was passed out.

That's called sleeping.

Why so intent over this case?

Because someone believes in me, for the first time.

"I'll take responsibility, so just go after the truth

like detectives should," the chief said.

He believes in me. I can't let him down.

That's strange.

Why isn't there any plastic over here?

Who knows?

The victim approached this window as he talked

on his cellular, and was struck in the forehead

with a spanner and killed.

Sure you can trust this trainee, Mayama?

What if she's wrong?

I can resign.

Let's hear her out.

Let me explain how Mr. Saginuma murdered the victim.

Mishiro's the killer.

No. Mishiro is innocent.

But I saw him, and he had the key to this room.

Because you pressured Aoi into putting it on his keyholder.

If not, you'll reveal his whereabouts.

I'll sue you for making false accusations.

The victim was talking to someone on his cellular

when he was murdered. With whom?

That's irrelevant.

The victim was struck in the middle of the

conversation and dropped the phone.

The caller should've been suspicious,

especially since part of the murder was aired on TV.

The average person would've reported it.

to the police. Did anyone?

No.

Then the caller could only have been the killer.

Any questions?

But so what?

The killer snuck up behind the victim and killed him.

Did he really?

Suppose I'm the victim Aoi, and Mayama the killer.

The victim was talking on his cellular like this.

Hello? Mayama? It's me.

Hello?

At this point, the victim should have heard

the killer behind him and turned.

He should have run from him and resisted him.

No, no! Don't...!

But there were no signs of resistance on the body.

That is, the killer murdered Aoi without being here.

Any questions?

We guessed as much.

There's one inconsistency about this room.

I'm sure you've noticed after combing this place.

Of course we have.

Noticed what?

Tell him, Shibata.

The plastic's been removed from this window,

making it the only one that can be opened.

Why did the killer do that?

Now let's go to the 10th floor.

Look. That 2nd floor window is right below.

The killer bludgeoned the victim to death from here.

You predicted that someone will be killed on

the 2nd floor and pretended to faint.

When the camera crew went down to the 2nd floor,

you called victim Aoi and told him to look up

out the window.

That's when you dropped the spanner on a rope

on the victim's forehead. The victim fell back in the room.

You took a chance that the window would close.

Then you untied the rope from the spanner,

hid it in your coat and took it down to the 2nd floor,

where you placed it in a spot, claimed to envision it

and let the crew find it.

That's how this murder went.

The papers said Mishiro's prints were found

on that spanner.

That spanner belonged to the supermarket.

A worker recalled seeing Mishiro fixing a flat on

his motorcycle with it a few days earlier.

That's where his prints came from before

someone stole it.

You're dreaming again.

The proof is they found the supermarket's

spanner with no prints on it.

How strange that the spanner used for repair

had no prints on it.

We can always check and see who purchased it.

You mean, me?

Yes.

That digicam videotape proves I'm not the killer.

So long as that tape exists,

your deduction is just bunk.

Sorry, sir, but we lost that tape.

What?!

I am so sorry, I have it.

What?!

I was passed out during the murder.

Here's the proof.

No, you weren't. Here's the proof.

It's a technique often used in filming.

I doubt it's ever been used for a crime.

When the crew went down to the 2nd floor,

you got up and approached the camera to

blacken the screen.

Then you turned the camera off,

took out a film you prepared in advance and spliced it.

You spliced it at the black screen so it wouldn't be

noticeable, and in the meantime, you called

the victim Aoi and killed him from the window.

It's all bunk!

Maybe you should come up with the same video.

But the fact is, the masses don't want to

recognize a minority superior to them.

Out of their warped fear, they denounce ESP as fake.

I think ESP exists. But this tape is fake.

Absurd! What proof do you have?

One of your predictions was correct.

I got what I wanted. Balls. The proof that this tape is fake.

Did you see this sign that says "balls"?

Take a look.

That "pinballs" sign was missing the "pin-" before.

But it was fixed on the day of the murder.

Look.

it says "pinballs" one moment, then "-balls" the next.

When the murder took place, the sign said

"pinballs", not "-balls".

That is, this video is fake. It's the proof I wanted.

It's because self-styled psychics resort to fakery

that real ESP can't win recognition.

No! You just won't recognize it.

You didn't 8 years ago.

We can't control visions, but we do see them.

But you masses call us fakes unless we can

repeat our feats. You expect us to perform,

force us to resort to fakery, then expose us and

bash us for it.

You masses don't want to recognize us for

our superior psychic powers.

In fact, you want to hunt us down and kill us off

one by one. That's what you did to my brother.

You worthless masses hunted him down and

took his life. This is my revenge.

Revenge? How clever.

While the worthless masses toiled for a living,

you went down from job to job looking for a sweet deal,

racking up debt.

Actually, you just wanted money and fame again.

That's why you committed murder on the air.

You can lecture the stupid masses behind prison walls.

Saginuma Hijiri, you're under arrest for suspicion of murder.

Just one question: How did you locate Aoi?

I saw him. I'm a real psychic.

Let's go.

The one you're after will be killed today.

What did he say?

None of your business.

Shibata!

Me?

Oh, hi, Asakura.

What brings you here?

I thought I'd go out.

On a date?

No.

But you said go out.

I meant, to eat.

You're so amusing. Let's go eat. My treat.

He's late.

"You've got mail."

"Sending information on Shibata Jun (24)."

Let go of me! I don't have anything.

You can't do this...!
