There he is!

Stop!

Soji Okita!

Prepare to die!

I want to perform...

my duty...

until the very...

last moment

Help me

Setagaya Maid Murder Case

Some tea, sir

Thanks

Getting accustomed here?

Sure

Sir

Why'd that hotshot detective get sent here?

Mind your own business and get back to work

Damn, it's hot

Miyako...

Rozmberk...

Miyako Rozmberk was the employer of the victim

I hear she's got some Czech blue blood in her

Been 14 years, huh?

She was gorgeous then

I was assigned to the cold case squad

where I did nothing

Special Investigation Unit my ass

So I decided to eyeball a case before the statute of limitations expired

Setagaya Maid Murder Case: Information Wanted

A maid was iced in a mansion in Setagaya ward

Investigators suspected someone in the house

But everyone, even the other servants, had solid alibis

The case went cold and was shelved three years ago

Setagaya Maid Murder Case: Information Wanted

Any help is appreciated

Justice for our daughter

The mansion where it took place is gone, replaced by an empty lot

Oh, yeah?

The vic's parents were still handing out leaflets nearby

Did you meet them?

Yes

They wondered what the police has been doing for 14 years

The mother was crying

There isn't much time before the deadline!

For their sake, we need to sift through the...

Shut up!

Hoshino

Sir?

Why do you think you're stuck here with me?

It's so you can cool it

while I keep an eye on you

Anyway, did you check out Miyako's current location?

I have the address

Just keep it on the downlow

Sir...

Now get outta here

After exposing some bigwig politicos for corruption,

I was booted from the Public Security Bureau

Some things never change Some crimes go unpunished

What's the point of being a detective now?

Dammit

Excuse me, but is Miyako...

uh, is Miyako Rozmberk home?

I'd like to ask a few questions

You traveled quite a distance

What brings the police here today?

My apologies

I'm Detective Hoshino from the Special Investigation Unit

This is wine!

I can't drink on the job May I have water instead?

She's deaf

Oh, I see

I apologize

So, how may I help you?

I came here today...

to talk to you about the murder that took place...

at your former mansion in Setagaya 14 years ago

I believe I've already told everything I know

Besides, I prefer not to remember that time

Of course, I understand

However, the victim's family...

I've already provided as much financial support as I can

No, that's not what I mean

See, the case is about to expire

Expire?

Right

It's my job to investigate unsolved cases before they expire

I want to perform my duty until the very last moment

The very last moment?

Yes

Such familiar words...

Actually, I know who did it

Ukyo Kuronuma

Ukyo... Kuronuma?

That's his present name, anyway

His present name?

But why would you come out with this now?

You don't believe me?

It's not that

But would you happen to have any proof?

You should check yourself

You're a detective, right?

From: Takita

About Ukyo Kuronuma: He's 33, from Tokyo, no prior record

He runs MZA, a hedge fund laundering slush funds

But you won't ever see his face out in the open

Let's check this out

Mr. Ukyo

The VP is finished

I hope you enjoyed yourself

Thanks to you, I feel decades younger

Sir, I've received some rather intriguing information from him

Anyway, I'll come again

Where am I?

Let me go

No...

Let me go!

Please, let me go!

Sir

Everything is ready

Help me

What's going on?

No!

Awfully rude of you

This is the owner's private space

Why'd you do that?

Are you guys even human?

Ukyo!

Ukyo, you bastard,

you killed that girl 14 years ago just as you did now, huh?

14 years ago?

What're you talking about?

Who'd you hear that from?

From Miyako

Miyako Rozmberk

Is something wrong, sir?

You little...

Still human, I see

What?

It means you're mortal

You can die...

without knowing eternity

Dispose of him

Yes, sir

Hey, wait!

Seems you were quite the detective

Sad to see you go

You? It can't be!

You're finally awake

You've been reborn

Now, you can converse with your heart

What happened to me?

We now share the same blood, you and I

You'll roam in eternity,

feeding on the blood of the living

That's your life now

Eternity...

You're a special one, able to receive my baptism of blood

Special?

Those who receive our blood will die

except for certain people

with a special type of blood

So I'm... one of those exceptions?

Yes

I found out the first day you came here

It's been 1 60 years since I've met a man with this blood

1 60 years?

Is this some sick joke?

Accept your fate

The more you resist, the longer your suffering

You blessed me with sacred blood... I have no words to thank you

So who is it that managed to toy with a man like yourself?

A girl with blue eyes

Blue eyes?

She may have the same blood as us

Why does Ukyo...

continue to take the blood of young women?

He loathed seeing me partake in other men

For me and my body...

to survive time, I need a large amount of blood

He couldn't bare it and became unhinged

Refusing my blood, he took blood from my maid...

and disappeared

I want to perform my duty...

until the very last day

Have you spilled enough innocent blood?

You're one to say,

after the thousands of lives you've taken

I wish...

you would've let me die that day

Anyway,

mind telling me why that detective came here?

He showed up at my door hoping to solve the case from 14 years ago

That's all it is

Don't tell me...

that he's your new...

He doesn't suit you

He's too straight

Probably

Reminds me of you

After I left you,

I was a mere shell of a man

It was but a blink of an eye for us

Not for me

I'm still...

You...

You need to find your own path

Just forget about me

Soji...

You belong to me, Soji

I've forgotten that name already

Brigitte! Brigitte!

Hoshino ran away

Don't worry

So he was planning to murder the Vice President, huh?

Quite the vicious detective you had stashed here

Inspector Hoshino?

That's me

Please come to the station

Why?

You're under arrest

On what charge?

What the hell's going on?

Dammit

Shit!

Stop!

Still human, I see

It means you're mortal

You can die...

without knowing eternity

You'll roam in eternity,

feeding on the blood of the living

That's your life now

Dammit, you've got the police under your thumb, too?

The men upstairs have a weakness for money and women

Who can blame them?

It's rotten

Everything...

Rotten, exactly

The country, the people...

Nothing's changed at all

And yet,

here's a detective following a case...

that's about to expire anyway

All for some girl who'll die eventually, anyway

So what if her death happens to be slightly unfortunate?

You bastard

For that one girl, her entire world ended

All because you killed her

You little shit

So Miyako made you

I need you gone

Blame your blood for that

My blood?

Right, for being born with the same blood as me

Erase him, for good

Sir, baptize me with your blood, please!

Bestow me with the same blood he has!

Then I'll snuff him

You want to die, Yokochi?

Only the chosen can endure our baptism of blood

What the hell happened to you?

Interested in roaming eternal darkness?

Eternal darkness?

We're incapable of dying

All that's left is to wander through time

No thanks

Not interested in your stinking eternity

Very well

Then enjoy your endless despair

Soji

Don't

Soji?

I've forgotten that name already

You're the one who made me

And yet that man is more important to you than me?

What the hell am I doing?

Can't even catch one little murderer

You can't forgive Soji, can you?

What about me?

If you've committed a crime,

then I can't forgive you

But it doesn't matter anymore

After all, I can't survive without drinking your blood

How old are you, Brigitte?

Ah, you're 323 years old...

What? 323 years old?

How time flies

I found her in Nagasaki

She was born to a Japanese woman raped by a Portuguese man

Hard enough being deaf back then, much less a half breed

She has the same blood as me, then?

No

Then how can she keep living for over 300 years?

She drinks a drop of my blood with wine, every ten days

Then she can avoid aging,

and converse with her heart

I see

So you're a mortal

I can't age,

I can't die,

and no matter how much I battle Ukyo,

it'll never be settled

Are you hurt?

I'm sorry

You've become strong

Thanks to you

No, it's because of Miyako's blood

There is one way...

To do what?

To defeat Ukyo

Tell me

While he's in a state of apparent death,

turn him to ashes before the blood revives him

If you seal his ashes in a lead box,

his body won't be resurrected

Though his flesh may be destroyed, his soul won't disappear

The soul continues its existence...

in the trapped darkness

Forever

Catch anything?

Nope

Hoshino...

Been a while

You been well?

I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble, boss

I'm no boss anymore

They agreed to call it a resignation, though

Still gotta pay off my loans

I'm terribly sorry

Don't apologize

I'm glad I quit the police

This way I don't have to arrest you

Sir

I found our guy

You did?

Yes

A businessman named Ukyo Kuronuma I'll be making contact soon

That's great

Sir

I...

A big one

Thanks

Is this carp?

Finally bagged one

"Bagged one," huh?

You've still got the touch

Are you okay?

You were saying?

I wanted you to know...

I'm going to go somewhere far

Sad to hear that

Take care

Sure, I'll see you around

Hoshino

Don't you die

I knew you'd come

The cruelty of eternity...

The folly of loving another...

You taught me all of this

I'm not strong enough to endure...

endless days of solitude

Soji

I should be her only victim

I can't let a criminal like you get away

I need her in my life

Yet she chose you,

and you won't forgive me

So you have to go

Wanna start it?

You couldn't possibly fathom the futility of eternity

How much innocent blood have you spilled?

You're just a murderer

You're calling me a criminal?

That's right

You're no different

What?

We wander eternity feasting on the blood of the living

We're both victims

I alone can love Miyako

Brigitte!

Have you no regard for life?

You'll understand one day

You're just a criminal!

Send us...

to our sleep...

Our eternal sleep

Forgive me

The soul continues its existence...

in the trapped darkness

Forever

I was...

nothing but a pawn...

in the eternal love story...

of Ukyo...

and Miyako
