WEBVTT 00:05.510 --> 00:07.840 Wings! That's the fire of the volcano! 00:08.550 --> 00:09.470 Ron? 00:12.850 --> 00:15.600 Fly through the Cretaceous, Pteranodon! 00:16.810 --> 00:18.600 What are you doing?! 00:18.690 --> 00:19.940 I'm playing dinosaur. 00:22.690 --> 00:27.690 When you said you'd go crazy from boredom without a case, did you really mean it? 00:27.780 --> 00:29.900 Help me, Dr. Mofu! 00:29.990 --> 00:34.490 What are you talking about? I was just recreating memories from when I was three. 00:35.080 --> 00:37.830 From when you were three? Of the Cretaceous? 00:37.910 --> 00:42.920 I told you Dr. Mofu's medicine brings up old memories, didn't I? 00:43.590 --> 00:47.880 Some parts of those memories were unclear, so I was sorting them out. 00:48.970 --> 00:53.090 Then I realized my memories before I was six were spotty. 00:53.180 --> 00:54.850 Isn't that normal for everyone? 00:54.930 --> 00:57.060 Actually, I remember everything. 00:57.140 --> 00:58.520 Everything? 00:58.600 --> 01:02.980 That's why the gaps in my memory bother me. 01:03.650 --> 01:07.440 For example, when I was three, on April 11th, at 11 a.m., 01:07.530 --> 01:10.820 I was playing dinosaur with Max and Molly 01:12.110 --> 01:14.570 someone else was sitting next to me, 01:15.200 --> 01:17.080 but my memory is foggy. 01:18.290 --> 01:22.790 So I thought recreating that time might help jog my memory. 01:23.790 --> 01:26.170 I guess ordinary people don't get that. 01:26.880 --> 01:29.920 Well, I'm glad you didn't go crazy from boredom. 01:30.670 --> 01:33.470 But I'm still bored! Where's the case, Toto?! 01:33.550 --> 01:34.390 Oh no! 01:34.470 --> 01:38.600 Come on, hurry up! Give me a case! A new, fresh case! 01:38.680 --> 01:40.350 That's your job, isn't it? 01:40.430 --> 01:44.310 Hey now, a police officer's job isn't to go out looking for cases! 01:44.400 --> 01:45.480 We're not reporters! 01:45.560 --> 01:47.940 That's it! Good idea, Toto! 01:48.860 --> 01:50.740 Let's go ask Chikori! 01:52.530 --> 01:55.870 Maybe I shouldn't have said that. 03:27.000 --> 03:29.920 TO-KYO UNIVERSITY 03:36.510 --> 03:39.390 Chikori is here to do an interview with this lab. 03:39.470 --> 03:42.140 I didn't think we'd see her so soon after yesterday. 03:42.220 --> 03:47.600 Isn't that a good thing? It's important to stay in touch with crime reporters. 03:48.480 --> 03:50.060 Detective Isshiki! 03:50.150 --> 03:51.520 Oh, Chikori! 03:54.070 --> 03:58.950 It's like a dream to be interviewing with the ace detective of the Tokyo Police! 03:59.030 --> 04:00.910 Ace, huh? 04:00.990 --> 04:03.120 That's a lot of pressure. 04:04.450 --> 04:07.790 But why is Mr. Kamokyuu from the café here? 04:08.410 --> 04:09.750 Well, you see, Chikori… 04:10.790 --> 04:14.000 Inspired by your esteemed Detective Isshiki, 04:14.090 --> 04:16.920 I decided to pursue a career as a brilliant detective too! 04:17.010 --> 04:17.880 What? 04:19.050 --> 04:23.300 So I came along to learn from Detective Isshiki. 04:26.980 --> 04:29.480 That kind of lie is… 04:31.020 --> 04:33.900 That ambition is truly admirable! 04:33.980 --> 04:37.110 If that's the case, then I'll give you my full support! 04:37.190 --> 04:39.240 Thanks. I really appreciate it! 04:41.660 --> 04:44.240 I knew it would turn out like this! 04:51.920 --> 04:57.050 Thank you for taking the time to let me interview you. 04:57.130 --> 05:00.840 Not at all. We don't have any experiments, 05:00.930 --> 05:06.010 and it's important for researchers to have the public interested in our work. 05:07.060 --> 05:10.640 Thank you for letting us join on such short notice! 05:11.190 --> 05:13.480 I'm also very interested in your research. 05:13.560 --> 05:15.440 That's nice to hear. 05:20.570 --> 05:22.450 MARUYAMA LAB 05:25.530 --> 05:28.240 This is our research lab. 05:28.330 --> 05:31.290 Professor Maruyama is at a conference in America, 05:31.370 --> 05:33.420 so I'm in charge today. 05:35.960 --> 05:38.880 Our focus is cognitive psychology. 05:38.960 --> 05:44.800 In other words, we study cognitive functions in human psychology. 05:44.890 --> 05:50.980 We're here with the students to study mechanisms like emotions and learning. 05:51.640 --> 05:56.440 Feel free to look around and ask any questions you may have. 05:57.020 --> 06:01.440 In that case, I have a gap in my childhood memories. 06:01.530 --> 06:03.490 Do you know what the cause could be? 06:03.570 --> 06:06.660 As it happens, my specialty is memory research. 06:07.450 --> 06:08.620 That's reassuring. 06:09.200 --> 06:14.620 There are a few possible causes, like dissociative amnesia, 06:14.710 --> 06:19.050 where a strong shock can erase memories from that time. 06:19.130 --> 06:21.550 I see. I suspected as much. 06:22.880 --> 06:27.050 Assistant Professor Aoe, it's almost time for your meeting with the UK. 06:27.140 --> 06:28.510 Oh, right! 06:29.100 --> 06:34.520 I'm sorry, my schedule is packed. Please ask Himeno if you have questions. 06:34.600 --> 06:36.520 She's very capable. 06:38.980 --> 06:41.570 Well, I'll be off. I'm counting on you. 06:41.650 --> 06:43.440 Yes, Assistant Professor Aoe! 06:46.160 --> 06:47.320 Good luck! 06:50.120 --> 06:52.450 He seems very busy. 06:52.540 --> 06:54.500 Yes, he's incredible! 06:54.580 --> 06:59.500 He's published groundbreaking papers in international academic journals, 06:59.590 --> 07:02.960 and there's no one better in the field of memory research. 07:03.550 --> 07:05.170 He's our young ace. 07:05.260 --> 07:07.720 Ace! That's a great word! 07:08.720 --> 07:11.220 Come to think of it, we have an ace here too. 07:11.310 --> 07:15.100 Himeno, I understand how you feel respecting him so much! 07:15.180 --> 07:16.140 Huh? 07:16.730 --> 07:21.440 For me, Detective Isshiki is the amazing person I look up to! 07:22.110 --> 07:23.190 Is that so? 07:23.280 --> 07:27.320 It's inspiring to watch an ace at work, isn't it? 07:27.410 --> 07:29.660 I'm glad you understand! 07:29.740 --> 07:32.990 Would you like to chat about our two aces? 07:33.080 --> 07:34.200 I'd love to! 07:34.290 --> 07:36.870 They're bonding over something so odd… 07:36.960 --> 07:40.920 -The word "inspiring" fits them perfectly! -Indeed! 07:41.000 --> 07:43.340 -Detective Isshiki is… -They're so loud. 07:51.140 --> 07:52.510 IN USE 07:53.140 --> 07:54.970 This is a shielded room, right? 07:55.060 --> 07:57.940 -You're quite knowledgeable. -A shielded room? 07:58.020 --> 08:00.980 It's a lab for psychological experiments. 08:01.060 --> 08:05.900 It's built to block out external noise, radio waves, and magnetic interference. 08:11.950 --> 08:15.580 -Wow, that's impressive! -It's my first time seeing one! 08:15.660 --> 08:19.420 They measure brainwaves and eye movements here. 08:19.500 --> 08:26.090 The collected data is only stored on lab computers, for security reasons. 08:26.710 --> 08:29.010 You certainly have the equipment! 08:29.090 --> 08:33.800 We're also proud of managing an MRI in collaboration with other labs. 08:33.890 --> 08:38.810 That's what hospitals use to look at cross-sections of the body, right? 08:38.890 --> 08:40.390 You even have that? 08:40.980 --> 08:46.940 It's quite costly, but Professor Aoe's experiments are highly regarded. 08:47.030 --> 08:48.990 He must be really amazing. 08:50.700 --> 08:57.200 The budget was approved thanks to the assistant professor's excellent work. 08:57.290 --> 09:00.750 I'm truly, truly grateful! 09:00.830 --> 09:06.130 I feel the same way Detective Isshiki, so I can relate, Himeno! 09:09.170 --> 09:11.550 What's with this twin vibe…? 09:13.890 --> 09:16.260 -I didn't hear about this! -Neither did I! 09:18.310 --> 09:20.940 What's going on? Imai, Oigawa… 09:21.020 --> 09:25.230 My reservation for the lab this afternoon is clashing with his! 09:25.310 --> 09:27.400 I reserved it first! 09:27.480 --> 09:30.530 -That's a lie! I reserved it first! -What did you say? 09:30.610 --> 09:31.610 Stop fighting. 09:32.660 --> 09:35.530 Oh, be quiet. Do something, Himeno. 09:35.620 --> 09:36.990 Do something? 09:37.080 --> 09:41.080 Go suck up to the assistant professor and ask him to mediate or something. 09:42.420 --> 09:47.920 "Assistant Professor, you're so amazing! Please help!" Isn't that your specialty? 09:49.130 --> 09:50.010 Niki… 09:55.180 --> 09:59.060 I'm sorry you had to witness such an embarrassing scene. 09:59.140 --> 10:01.560 Oh no, don't worry about it, Himeno! 10:02.140 --> 10:07.020 Everyone's pushing hard to achieve good results, so things can get tense. 10:07.770 --> 10:12.490 It's normal to feel stressed sometimes, so don't let it bother you. 10:13.200 --> 10:14.950 You're very kind. 10:15.530 --> 10:19.290 I understand now why you admire Detective Isshiki so much. 10:19.370 --> 10:20.660 Right? 10:20.750 --> 10:25.630 My school was really competitive, and people often picked fights with me. 10:26.670 --> 10:30.380 But if you hone your skills and put them in their place, they stay quiet. 10:30.460 --> 10:32.300 That just makes things worse! 10:33.260 --> 10:35.010 You're funny, Mr. Kamokyuu. 10:35.760 --> 10:39.720 Yes… I'll do my best to hone my skills as you suggest, 10:39.810 --> 10:43.730 and try to make a difference, like Assistant Professor Aoe! 10:43.810 --> 10:46.400 I'll cheer you on, Himeno! 10:46.480 --> 10:47.810 Thank you! 10:49.440 --> 10:53.440 Would it be okay to meet up privately to talk more about aces? 10:53.530 --> 10:55.200 I still have so much to say! 10:55.700 --> 10:57.240 You're welcome anytime! 10:57.820 --> 11:00.830 Well then, here's my personal contact info. 11:01.950 --> 11:04.210 -Really? -Of course! 11:04.290 --> 11:08.130 Wonderful!

I solve cases just like a detective. 11:40.320 --> 11:41.780 Speak of the devil. 11:46.290 --> 11:47.120 Hello? 11:53.090 --> 11:54.380 Detective Isshiki… 12:01.470 --> 12:03.100 An explosion in the lab?! 12:04.140 --> 12:06.310 Chikori, calm down… 12:08.230 --> 12:10.230 Someone was in the lab… 12:19.360 --> 12:22.070 Himeno… is dead… 12:33.000 --> 12:35.420 TO-KYO UNIVERSITY 12:39.510 --> 12:41.890 MARUYAMA LAB POLICE 12:47.930 --> 12:49.310 Amamiya! 12:49.390 --> 12:52.400 Isshiki? I didn't call you. What are you doing here? 12:52.480 --> 12:56.860 Someone I know got killed in the explosion. So I… 12:58.030 --> 12:59.070 You mean Himeno? 13:01.950 --> 13:06.370 According to forensics, the shielded room was filled with combustible gas, 13:06.450 --> 13:11.000 and the moment the door opened, it ignited from an external heat source. 13:11.080 --> 13:14.080 Combustible gas in a psychology lab? 13:14.590 --> 13:15.960 Yes, it's unnatural. 13:16.050 --> 13:19.170 Apparently, they've never used gas in experiments before. 13:19.760 --> 13:23.510 The most likely heat source is the heat gun used in experiments, 13:23.590 --> 13:27.890 but according to the students, they would never leave it on unattended. 13:27.970 --> 13:29.850 Then the explosion… 13:30.430 --> 13:34.560 We believe someone intentionally caused the explosion. It was murder. 13:35.860 --> 13:37.150 It can't be… 13:37.780 --> 13:39.990 To kill Himeno in such a cruel way… 13:48.450 --> 13:50.330 Amamiya, please! 13:50.410 --> 13:52.580 Let me take charge of this case! 13:52.670 --> 13:57.800 You're too involved.

I'll let you know if we learn anything. 15:02.360 --> 15:03.990 Okay. See you. 15:11.540 --> 15:12.490 Toto… 15:13.000 --> 15:15.790 I know… I'll do what I can. 15:19.380 --> 15:21.840 -Let's start with questioning. -Right. 15:22.340 --> 15:24.260 ASSISTANT PROFESSOR AOE 15:26.300 --> 15:29.220 Why did it have to be Himeno, of all people? 15:29.300 --> 15:30.800 My sincere condolences. 15:31.390 --> 15:35.140 I'm sorry, but what did you do after your meeting yesterday? 15:36.190 --> 15:38.480 It's just a routine question. 15:42.690 --> 15:48.320 I was in the research building until late, conducting experiments on the MRI. 15:48.410 --> 15:53.450 When I passed by the lab on my way out, the lights were off. 15:54.040 --> 15:54.910 I see. 15:57.250 --> 16:00.380 Did the explosion cause significant damage to the lab? 16:00.460 --> 16:04.130 We can replace the equipment, 16:04.210 --> 16:08.340 but the computer containing ten years of experimental data was damaged, 16:08.430 --> 16:11.550 and that data is invaluable. 16:14.100 --> 16:18.100 Still, that's nothing compared to Himeno's life… 16:18.600 --> 16:23.230 To think how her parents must feel, I'm at a loss for words. 16:24.730 --> 16:26.190 Why did this have to happen? 16:28.240 --> 16:32.450 We'll have experts check if the data can be recovered. 16:33.120 --> 16:35.120 Did you notice anything else? 16:35.200 --> 16:36.370 No… 16:38.160 --> 16:41.250 There was something I wanted to discuss with you. 16:43.790 --> 16:46.380 It's a letter addressed to the lab. 16:46.460 --> 16:49.680 It was sent by an anonymous person. 16:52.680 --> 16:55.850 -The postmark is from yesterday. -We'll take a look. 16:58.100 --> 16:59.980 HIMENO KANAE! YOU'LL GET DIVINE PUNISHMENT! 17:00.890 --> 17:02.020 A threat! 17:03.560 --> 17:06.030 Someone bore a grudge against Himeno? 17:06.530 --> 17:08.690 If so, it was a premeditated crime. 17:08.780 --> 17:14.410 The killer knew that Himeno would enter the shielded room this morning. 17:16.950 --> 17:18.870 LECTURE ROOM 17:18.950 --> 17:21.540 According to Assistant Professor Aoe, 17:21.620 --> 17:25.960 the use of the shielded room was left up to the students. 17:27.050 --> 17:30.970 Did anyone know Himeno would be using the lab this morning? 17:37.140 --> 17:39.890 Yes. All three of us knew. 17:41.060 --> 17:44.520 We all wanted to use the lab this morning, 17:44.610 --> 17:48.440 so we decided by drawing lots on a messaging app just after midnight. 17:48.530 --> 17:51.400 Did anyone else know about this? 17:51.490 --> 17:54.620 No, it's just the four of us in the group. 17:56.080 --> 18:00.080 So, sometime between the lot drawing and the early morning, 18:00.700 --> 18:05.210 one of you snuck into the lab and set up the explosion. 18:05.830 --> 18:09.960 What did each of you do after the drawing until morning? 18:10.050 --> 18:12.840 It was late, so I went to bed right away. 18:12.930 --> 18:15.930 I woke up around 9:00 as usual, and came to university. 18:16.010 --> 18:17.140 Same here. 18:17.220 --> 18:21.100 Me too, but are you suspecting us? 18:22.180 --> 18:25.900 So, because we have no alibis, we're suspects? 18:25.980 --> 18:28.320 Are our futures being ruined over this? 18:28.400 --> 18:31.150 Oh, I know, Oigawa seems suspicious! 18:31.240 --> 18:32.190 What?! 18:32.280 --> 18:39.200 Himeno reported him to the university for deleting her data from the lab computer! 18:39.280 --> 18:40.870 How do you know that? 18:40.950 --> 18:44.000 I saw Himeno consulting with the assistant professor. 18:44.080 --> 18:46.460 Didn't you think she was in your way? 18:46.540 --> 18:49.800 Imai! You have a pretty strong motive yourself! 18:49.880 --> 18:50.960 What did you say? 18:51.050 --> 18:55.470 After she dumped you, you kept showing up at her place and got labeled a stalker. 18:55.550 --> 18:58.640 You even said, "I'll make her pay one day!" 18:59.890 --> 19:01.100 Creep. 19:01.180 --> 19:04.560 Shut up, Niki! You hated Himeno the most! 19:05.600 --> 19:11.730 Whenever she complained that you canceled MRI experiments, you wished she'd die. 19:11.820 --> 19:14.530 No, that's completely different! 19:14.610 --> 19:20.450 This morning, you said, "I'm more shocked that all the research data is gone!" 19:21.120 --> 19:24.580 What? That has nothing to do with this case, you creep! 19:24.660 --> 19:25.710 What did you say? 19:25.790 --> 19:27.540 Hey, please calm down! 19:27.620 --> 19:32.000 What do you mean she complained about cancellations of MRI experiments? 19:32.090 --> 19:35.090 MRI maintenance costs are huge, 19:35.170 --> 19:39.600 so we need to maximize its usage. Last-minute cancellations are forbidden. 19:40.180 --> 19:43.520 Assistant Professor Aoe is especially strict about that. 19:44.730 --> 19:49.350 He places the utmost importance on efficiency and reliability. 19:50.020 --> 19:52.070 I see. Thank you. 19:54.650 --> 19:55.530 Ron? 19:57.950 --> 20:02.410 You said the police already obtained the lab's entry records, right? 20:02.490 --> 20:03.990 Hey, hold on! 20:04.080 --> 20:06.960 That's all for now! Thank you very much. 20:07.040 --> 20:11.170 We may call you back later. Thank you for your cooperation. 20:19.800 --> 20:21.800 Why did you leave so suddenly? 20:21.890 --> 20:24.680 Something feels off. I wouldn't normally do that. 20:24.770 --> 20:25.890 Huh? 20:25.970 --> 20:29.600 Why did the threatening letter arrive after the incident? 20:30.350 --> 20:31.560 What do you mean? 20:31.650 --> 20:34.650 Since the letter arrived after Himeno's death, 20:35.190 --> 20:38.030 it couldn't frighten her anymore, could it? 20:41.570 --> 20:42.450 What is it? 20:43.030 --> 20:46.200 You're right. No one would think like that. 20:46.290 --> 20:49.500 It's almost like you understand the killer's mindset. 20:49.580 --> 20:51.750 People have told me that for years. 20:56.760 --> 21:00.260 Also, the postmark on the letter was from yesterday. 21:00.340 --> 21:04.550 Why did the killer send the threatening letter targeting Himeno 21:04.640 --> 21:07.720 before it was even confirmed that she'd be coming to the lab? 21:08.310 --> 21:09.180 Good point. 21:09.270 --> 21:11.690 Do you have the records for the lab entries? 21:11.770 --> 21:12.650 Yes. 21:14.900 --> 21:19.320 Until a month ago, Professor Maruyama and Aoe were frequent users. 21:19.400 --> 21:24.120 But Professor Maruyama's name disappears partway due to his trip overseas. 21:25.120 --> 21:28.750 Assistant Professor Aoe hasn't used it at all for the past week either. 21:29.370 --> 21:32.670 Instead, Himeno and Oigawa's names show up more often. 21:33.250 --> 21:36.800 Niki and Imai often borrowed it together in the afternoons. 21:38.510 --> 21:40.130 Let me see that. 21:40.760 --> 21:45.180 Himeno must have had a hard time in a lab filled with so much hostility. 21:46.180 --> 21:49.850 Who could the killer possibly be? I have no clue at all. 21:50.640 --> 21:52.810 Honestly, everyone seems suspicious. 21:52.890 --> 21:55.480 The exact motive remains a mystery. 21:55.560 --> 21:58.360 But I have a good idea who the killer is. 22:00.240 --> 22:01.700 I won't let them escape. 22:03.780 --> 22:09.490 The ruthless murderer born from the hostility in this lab.
