Original subtitles

In matters relating to the world of the dead

there is an institution that judges the sins of the deceased

the Ju-Oh-Cho.

The Summons Section of the Judgment Bureau

comprises a group supporting the ministry's operating functions

by guiding the lost souls that wander the mortal world.

They are also known as...

the Shinigami.

Who's that?

Um, Dr. Muraki hasn't come to see me for my regular check-up.

I went to his cabin, but it was locked. And there was no answer.

It couldn't be...!

Doctor?

Muraki...

No... this can't be! Doctor!

What on earth is going on?!

How could Muraki have been killed?!

Episode 8

The King of Swords, Part 2

No... Doctor!

Princess Tsubaki!

I can't believe Muraki is dead.

I performed the autopsy.

I'm still only a student, so I might not be as thorough as Dr. Muraki.

Let's see. The cause of Dr. Muraki's death is

as I thought, poison in the wine he was drinking.

The time of death was between 2 and 3:30 in the morning.

However, two things make this different from Wakabayashi-san.

The first is that his heart was not removed.

He still had his heart?

Yes. The other difference is that

something in the envelope found on him was for some reason torn in two.

"To my love, Princess Tsubaki."

"This is a gift from one who truly loves you."

"The two dark gentlemen who lie in the rose covered casket...

the King of Swords."

The King of Swords ripped in two, huh?

I've had enough! I can't take this anymore!

Please take the ship back to port, Kakyouin-san.

There have been two murders already! We have to head back!

I can't do that.

If it became known there were murders on my ship...

Is making money more important than our lives?!

- Sir! - What's the matter?

The bridge tells me that

we're not able to make wireless contact.

D-Does that mean we're stranded in the middle of the ocean?!

Well, uh...

You've got to be kidding!

Just get us back into port immediately!

Th-That's easy to say, but...

it would be more dangerous for us to take an unplanned course.

Oh, really? All right then.

Listen, Kakyouin-san.

If I were to get killed here

you can be sure I'd haunt you to death!

W-Well, I'll be on my way too.

Oh, right.

There's something I want to ask you, sir.

What is it? Make it quick.

I heard a strange rumor about a woman called Eileen.

I know nothing of it!

Huh? Well, I heard that she vanished from this ship.

Rumors are nothing more than rumors.

Tsuzuki-kun...

- Are you done with me? - Yes.

The owner is hiding something.

The murders and the tarot cards...

the messages to Princess Tsubaki...

and the disappearance of Eileen.

What on earth is happening on this ship?

Muraki is dead.

The man who had killed me--

But who did it?

And for what purpose?

The message left at the murder was addressed to Princess Tsubaki.

Hisoka, you stay close by Princess Tsubaki.

You protect her from danger. All right?

No! This can't be! Doctor!

- Princess Tsubaki! - Doctor!

Oh, no!

This man will be your doctor.

Doctor?

Nice to meet you.

This is for Tsubaki.

- Your heart is... - No!

All of these memories flooding in!

Are you going to take me to Japan?

Of course! We're friends after all!

Eileen?

Where are you? Eileen? Hey, where did you go?

This is beyond my control!

Doctor! Doctor!

No! I'm overloading!

Hey, how's it going?

Hisoka!

So, you heard from Tatsumi?

That's right.

He said there's been a big increase in missing people in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong?

Does that have anything to do with the anomalies at the Hall of Candles?

It does.

The times of the incidents at the Hall of Candles

and of the disappearances match perfectly. See?

Right? And if you combine that

with the times when the ship was in Hong Kong...

Gushoushin, send this e-mail right away.

See if a girl by the name of Eileen is on the list of missing persons.

- Right away. - And also...

If this is the beginning

what is the meaning of the card that's been ripped in two?

What is the meaning of the King of Swords?

"A counselor" or "a cruel man." Since it was ripped in two,

I searched based on the proper sequence as well as the reverse.

Which meaning are we supposed to take it as?

Are you all right, Hisoka?

Yeah.

Where are you going, Hisoka-san?

I just need to get some air.

The door to Muraki's room is open!

Doctor...

Princess Tsubaki.

What are you doing here anyway?

I just wanted to see the Doctor's face again.

I've had a weak heart from the time of my birth.

I used to suffer from spasms.

My father was concerned about it, so he brought Dr. Muraki to see me.

The first time I met the doctor was when I was around ten.

I felt as though he was some kind of angel.

He always wore white from top to bottom.

An angel with a silvery stare, piercing like steel.

I soon developed a crush on the doctor

and I did everything the doctor told me to.

I'd even take my bitter medicine without complaining.

I wanted to get his approval.

And then this had to happen.

Why did the doctor have to die?

It was punishment.

If he was an angel, his name would have been "an angel of destruction."

You don't know what he was really like.

You're the one who knows nothing about the doctor, Azumi.

I've had it! Let's go!

Uh, wait. Sir!

Ow.

Hojo-san, I'm pretty sure that ring belongs to Wakabayashi-san.

That's right.

There's no point in a dead man having it, so I'm taking it.

But it doesn't even fit you.

Yes. Well, I'm going to have it adjusted when I get to Hong Kong.

Good-bye.

Hisoka, is something the matter?

I...

ended up hurting Princess Tsubaki.

I mean, she trusted Muraki from the bottom of her heart.

She must have it tough.

Her trusted doctor died after all.

But we're talking about Muraki!

I know. But you know...

Muraki may have been our enemy

but for her, he's different.

You've got to consider Princess Tsubaki's feelings right now.

And so...

if you want to make it up to her, I can help you out.

Yami no Matsuei

I've got to take my medicine.

I promised the doctor after all.

You can invite Princess Tsubaki to dinner.

Leave the reservations up to me.

You just have to put on a tuxedo and pick her up.

Oh. And don't forget to bring her flowers.

Princess Tsubaki?

Th-This is--

Another message for Princess Tsubaki.

Yes. I found it under the door.

What's this?

Uh, yes. Hojo-sama kept her clothing in that.

"To my love, Princess Tsubaki."

"This is a gift from one who truly loves you."

"A soulless doll packed away into a box."

"Six of Pentacles."

It's the same as the time with Wakabayashi-san.

She was poisoned first before her heart was ripped out.

And the card, of course.

Come to think of it...

I overheard the owner and Hojo-san arguing last night.

Could it be that the owner did this?!

No. Father wouldn't do such a thing!

But everybody saw, right?

Hojo-san and the owner were arguing all the time.

We can sort this out by just asking him.

Akiyama-san, where's the owner?

Uh, yes. The owner is in his quarters.

Let's go! Everything will become clear then.

This is an announcement from the captain:

Our ship is currently passing through some rough seas.

As the vessel will pitch considerably, please be careful.

"To my love, Princess Tsubaki."

"This is a gift from one who truly loves you."

Owner!

Princess Tsubaki!

"The dead speak no words."

"Do you understand it yet?"

"Seven of Wands."

I'm going to be the next to get killed.

I just know it!

Owner...

Father...

The first victim was Wakabayashi Shozo.

The meaning of the Ace of Wands is "the beginning."

The serial murders began just as the card foretold.

The second victim was Muraki Kazutaka.

The King of Swords card was ripped in two.

Its meaning is that of "a counselor" or "a cruel man."

That must be a description of Muraki himself.

The third victim was Hojo Kanako.

The reverse meaning of the Six of Pentacles is "to pay a bribe."

Either this ring symbolizes a bribe...

or...

The last of the victims is Kakyouin Takeshi.

The Seven of Wands can also be read through a reverse sequence.

It means that he was blackmailed. Which means that...

the owner was being blackmailed by someone.

But by whom?

The criminal? He was the only one who knew.

The dead speak no words... Enough with this game!

Damn!

Why is the criminal killing these people?!

What is the criminal's objective?!

Leaving cards like that, is this supposed to be a game?!

Tsuzuki-san!

I have a response from the summons department.

It's concerning that girl Eileen.

How are you feeling, Princess Tsubaki?

I can't say I feel too good.

I'm really sorry about your father.

Please don't remind me again.

There was definitely an Eileen in the missing persons list.

- Is she dead or alive? - It's unknown.

She's on the register, but her soul hasn't returned.

It seems that's the case with everyone on the list.

In other words, we don't know if she's dead or alive.

Huh? Where did you get that ring?

Oh.

I thought maybe I'd return it to its rightful owner.

Wh-What did you do that for?!

I was only holding it gently.

What is this?

It's a microchip.

What terrible weather.

I'm sorry about before, Princess Tsubaki.

I didn't even consider your feelings

and I said something that hurt you.

Don't worry about it.

But...

tell me, Azumi...

what happened between the two of you?

You should have seen

the look in your eyes as you stared at the doctor.

It was as cold as ice.

You knew each other, right?

Then why?

- I'm not Hibiki Azumi. - What?

I'm not even human.

I was killed by Muraki.

I am one who no longer lives in this world.

You're not human?

He came after me after I witnessed one of his murders

and he put a spell on me.

He took my memory away from me then

and tormented me for three years...

only to kill me in the end.

I am a Shinigami.

I am a Shinigami who wanted revenge against Muraki.

I don't believe that.

If you doubt me, I'll prove it to you.

What are you going to do?!

Don't!

In order to solve a particular case,

I used Azumi's name to get onto this ship.

I pretended to be a regular human being

and spied on all of you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for lying to you for all this time. I'm sorry.

Azumi...

How could you hate someone so much even in death?

To suffer the burden of that hatred

only means that you're not able to free yourself from him.

Just like me.

Princess Tsubaki...

Next Episode

The first break in solving this case

seems to be drifting away with the tide.

I still can't believe that Muraki could've died.

The Kings of Swords.

As the tarot cards tell their story

a white angel descends upon this world.

Could it have been you?!

Episode 9 The King of Swords, Part 3
