Original subtitles

Ouch!

Are you okay?

Here, I brought an extra pair.

I've got the feeling something big may happen.

Huh?

Huh?

I said I feel like something is going to happen...

I think it's time to do some repairs on this old amusement park.

Let's get going!

Be right there.

Here.

Files from the police.

More old cases? What've we got this time?

Oh, Juumonji-kun! Wearing your trenchcoat and looking so slick yet again!

Cut that out.

Hey, Kiriyama...

you find a good case?

Juumonji-san...

There's nothing to laugh at here.

There all pretty much the same, you know?

Just take one from the top of the stack.

I can't do that.

The case has to really strike me as interesting.

Old cases?

There'll be no mercy!

Even with your amnesty, a crime is a crime! Shhh!

You watched "Detective Anego" yesterday, too, huh?

Yeah, "Jakusui-sensei will be there"!

She always solves the case with the 5-7-5 (like Haiku).

What's all that "shh, shh" stuff?

It's not worth asking.

It's just some 2-hour TV drama.

Jakusui-sensei last night was so awesome.

Totally awesome!

Didn't you watch it on TV?

I don't watch that stuff.

What a waste!

You should watch it, too!

On that show,

when a case is solved,

a girl named Jakusui-sensei

stands on the cliff and makes up haiku for the criminal.

She's always so witty.

There'll be no mercy! (5)

Even with your amnesty, (7)

A crime is a crime! (5)

I started watching it after Kumamoto-san let me borrow the taped episodes,

and it's really interesting!

Hey you guys...

you should've told me you were talking about that!

You came at just the right time, Morosawa-kun!

Oh, come to think of it, she used to be a suspect in a case, remember?

The leading actress, Tabiko Ayame?

What case was that?

You don't know?

Suspect?

Kiriyama-kun...

you should watch the drama, too.

You, too, Mikazuki-kun.

You know,

like together!

He's got a huge collection!

Check it out!

I don't care about that.

What was the case about?

You took the bait!

Hasn't that case already reached its limit?

I think it has.

Oh?

An old case?

You'd better listen more carefully then!

More carefully?

Kiriyama-kun,

Mikazuki-kun,

Have a look.

For the two of you!

You had these with you?

These are my favorite episodes.

I always carry them with me just for times like these.

In addition!

What the heck is that?

Voila!

Woah!

This is a perfect 1:21 scale model of the cliff

in the "lost" 13th episode of the original series.

Kiriyama-kun...

If you stand on this cliff...

and close your eyes like this,

you get such a feeling of clarity.

Kumamoto-san, let me guess... You always stand on that cliff to think things over, don't you?

That's right.

But this cliff...

has sharp, pointy rocks, so it hurts your feet.

Weirdo...

We're missionaries!

Become a believer!

Today...

I'll be there!

This is her, the girl who used to be a suspect.

What kind of case was it?

Apparently, the so-called "Queen of Suspense" at that time fell from the cliff to her death.

Everyone wanted to know if it was a murder or an accident.

I'll go get the file.

The murderer is among you.

That can't be!

Huh?

Believe me! It's gotta be her!

The murderer is...

The murderer is... this one, right?

...you!

Eh? That one?

The murderer is...

It's gotta be this guy!

...you.

Huh?! Wrong again?!

The one who did it was...

...you!

Yeah, you!

Whoops, I mean...

You!

Whaddya mean "Whoops"?!

The murderer is...

The murderer is this one!

...you.

Ahh! I got it wrong again!

Hey, Kiriyama-kun...

Huh?

Aren't you gonna look into the case instead of watching this TV show?

Mm mmm...

What's "Mmm~" supposed to mean?

Clarity of deduction...

from the top of this cliff.

She's so~ awesome!

He investigates cases which have reached the statute of limitations,

Shuuichirou Kiriyama.

Jikou Keisatsu Episode 4

The criminal's 5-7-5 will come from the top of the cliff.

Now on to the show!

Hey, you! Are you listening?

I checked it out,

and this definitely looks like a case you'd wanna do.

The name of the case is...

Inugoezaki Hot Springs' "Steamy" Murder

The victim was Yubune Shirakawa, the so-called "Queen of Suspense" at that time.

She played Jakusui-sensei in

"The Detective Anego: Jakusui-sensei will be there!" It was a very popular series.

Do you have anything to say?

It's just gotta be milk!

At the time of her deductions,

she would always end with haiku (5-7-5)

as her witty trademark.

Although you loved him, (5)

under any condition, (7)

A crime is a crime. (5)

Very cool.

Then...

during filming of the 13th episode,

from the cliff in the last scene...

she fell to her death.

The prime suspect at the time was Jakusui-sensei's assistant,

who is the present "Queen", Tabiko Ayame.

Oh~

According to the script, the last scene went like this:

Jakusui-sensei deducts that this woman is the criminal;

she then passes the key letter to her;

Key letter, yes...

then the woman tries to jump from the cliff;

Oh...

Jakusui and her assistant try to stop her;

then when the woman was supposed to be saved...

the fight for control got intense...

and Yubune Shirakawa ended up falling off the cliff.

Oh?

There was evidence of 2 concussions on Yubune Shirakawa's head.

Two?

According to the police's report,

when she fell...

because she rebounded off of a large rock on the way down...

and then hit her head when she landed,

there ended up being 2 wounds.

Murder or accident...

The newspapers always had something written about it.

Tabiko Ayame was the suspect of both reporters and the police,

but the case was considered to be an accident in the end.

When the case was over with,

they thought this popular series would be finished.

But!

Tabiko Ayame, who had been a suspect up until that time,

became the new Jakusui-sensei,

and this led to the revival of the series.

I know all about her!

You can't worry about this forever.

It'll be okay.

Tabiko Ayame!

Yes.

Was what he said...

...directed at...

[The Detective Anego: Lead Role Audition]

...directed at her?

Why did he...

Was what he said directed at her?

Why did he need to communicate that to her?

The ratings for the series were even better than expected.

Tabiko Ayame soon jumped into stardom.

Then...

Even the trademark haiku said at the end

when the murder is solved

were taken from Yubune Shirakawa.

The path of your life, (5)

whether it be straight or crooked, (8)

will be a long one... (5)

One syllable too many.

So... what're you gonna do?

I'd really like to meet her.

Tabiko Ayame?

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Can we?

You only wanna meet her?

You don't even care about the case, do you?

No, I do. I'll show her my version of Detective Jakusui,

and have her critique my acting.

Critique?

Hello and welcome!

[Tabiko Ayame's Photo Collection "Cliffhanger" Autograph Promotion]

My heart's pounding!

Why?

Here you go!

Here you are.

Thank you very much.

I'm a huge fan! Please sign this!

What're you talking about?!

That's not why we're here.

Then did you have other business?

Actually, I... uh... investigate old cases as a hobby!

That sounds interesting. What show are you from?

We're not from a TV show...

We're cops.

Cops?

But we're not here to arrest you;

this is just my hobby.

I try to solve old cases!

Is that so?

Could you tell me more in detail later?

I still have mental scars from that case.

Even now people still say things behind my back...

about me being the one who killed her.

At that time I was simply learning from Yubune Shirakawa.

I only played her assistant in the show.

I was basically an extra.

Then it was as if I had suddenly stolen the lead role...

so to speak...

That's just not right!

I was extremely touched by your acting!

You got that role because you deserved it!

Kiriyama-kun!

Oh... sorry.

Thanks.

I'm glad you feel that way.

Oh... why don't you come to the set next time?

Huh?

Really?

Oh, no. We'd just be in the way.

No, no. We need someone fresh on the set.

Being around the same staff for 15 years, it's just the same old stuff.

Besides that,

you may be able to ask them about the case then.

Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah, yeah~

Isn't this awesome? We'll be able to see a real set!

Kiriyama-kun, don't you think you're getting a little carried away?

You probably don't even care about solving the case, do you?

I really want to solve this case and read my own haiku!

My forget-me-not:

As long as there is a crime,

there's no time limit.

You're okay with that?! Inviting them to the set and everything.

It'll be fine!

I told you before, didn't I?

I'm a scandalous woman.

My whole popularity is based on scandals.

Just take a look at the ratings.

Well, they certainly are going down...

Right now...

what we need is some excitement.

You know?

We'll have them stir up some rumors.

They need to tell reporters some juicy details,

or our show will be finished!

That's it.

They can be our stage for advertising.

"Stage for advertising"?

Don't worry.

I've got it covered.

Got it?

[Actress Suspect: Tabiko Ayame (21)]

Here she is! She was just released by the police!

Could it be that she knows the facts behind this death?

Listen up!

I've got an idea.

Shouldn't we make the next scenario...

this one?

["THE" Detective Anego: Jakusui-sensei will be there!!] [Episode 13]

We all remember this one, right?

The "lost" episode,

Episode 13.

The cursed episode.

You can't be serious.

Well, I am serious.

Don't you think it's just the same old stuff lately?

We should just bust out this "lost" episode and...

I don't know...

Are you sure?

I'm a woman who has used scandals to fertilize my growth as an actress.

I'd like to use this chance

to really bloom.

I want to give the world something to talk about!

"Tabiko Ayame, Statute of Limitations Anniversary."

"Congratulations on your amnesty."

What do you think?

EH?!

That's right.

I'll be able to see the set.

For real?

No way! You're so lucky!

Get me her autograph!

Of course.

So what about your all-important investigation?

Exactly! That's what you should be thinking about.

What's that guy up to anyway?

She asking what you've been up to.

Well, at any rate...

I'll look for the criminal on that cliff.

Lucky guy...

getting to read haiku on that cliff.

Take me with you.

Me, too!

Hello?

It's me. Can you talk now?

It's okay.

Sorry for being so sudden, but could we meet today?

Of... of course!

Then I'll see you tonight.

Tonight?

Just the two of us.

Oh... O... O...

Okay.

I'm looking forward to it.

Kiriyama-kun!

Shh!

Shh!

Shh.

Did you find out something since we last met?

Huh?

I...

Huh?

Nothing in particular...

I mean...

Not really...

Uh...

Ha, ha...

No, nothing really.

Do you think I did it?

No, no! In particular... something...

No, not really the criminal...

Are you sure?

I've had the image of an actress who climbed the acting ladder through scandal.

That's got to be some sort of misunderstanding!

You're acting is the best this world has ever seen!

But the world isn't watching my acting, it's watching me.

In other words, from the world's point of view,

I'm just a witch.

Don't play dumb, silly.

Well, I know some people may think that.

That used to be my charm point.

But 15 years have passed,

and now...

I'm not black or even gray...

just pure white.

It's scary how time flies.

Now I'm just the white princess of justice.

I'm no longer a scandalous woman.

Now I'm just a tried and true

boring and mediocre actress.

But thanks to you, I remembered the good old days.

And this is?

The "lost" 13th episode.

Tomorrow's filming has been changed to this. Feel free to read it.

I will!

I smell something.

Huh?

You smell...

You smell like you're up to something.

I'm sorry?

You will search around for the answers about me...

Just like Jakusui...

I'm not up to anything...

Well, I'll see you later then.

To come back here so soon after the crime...

is quite suspicious.

Ow!

Cut! Cut!

Wash up those Jizou statues!

I'll wash 'em!

From the top!

"The top"?

Director, what do "wash up" and "the top" mean?

- To "wash up" means to clean up. - Clean up, gotcha.

"The top" is the actor's first line.

I've got the answer...

to this case!

I've got the answer... to this case!

Shouldn't you be looking somewhere else?

But this is the good part!

CUT!

How was it?

We'll shoot it for real this time.

You were great!

This time's for real!

You were excellent!

Thanks!

What the f...?!

Do you have to be so close?

The waves are so loud,

if I go any farther,

we can't pick up her lines.

Still too damn close!

Nice cliff.

What about this one?

How about this picture?

May I join you?

Oh, you?

The police guy... Kiriyama-kun, right?

Police?

From the limitations task force.

Limitations task force?

On my days off, I investigate old cases as a hobby.

Tabiko's such an eccentric one.

Inviting a cop who's investigating that tragedy

that happened 15 years ago.

Have all you guys been working on this series from the start?

Yeah. I guess it's been 20 years now.

That is, if you include the time with the previous actress, too.

Everyone's been together so long?

Yeah, I guess so.

At the time that happened,

were you shooting the scene?

Yeah.

So it was on camera?

Yeah... I guess so.

Could I take a look at that?

I'm not sure...

do we still have that?

Oh, yeah!

The police took it, so we probably don't even have it.

Well, do you remember hearing anything?

I'm not sure...

Now the time is up.

Even so, I'm still searching,

5,7,5

Ev-en so I'm still search-ing,

for the criminal.

Oh, hi again.

Oh, it's you! Come on in.

Tabiko Ayame is just fantastic, isn't she?

Yeah, she's a great actress.

I just happened to find this out, but

I heard you two were engaged at that time.

Even you know, huh?

But today on the set, you two didn't seem so close.

Just like a police officer to know the facts.

Well, you know, nowadays...

she wouldn't so much as blink an eye at me.

She's a big star now.

Why'd you break up?

Just like the cops to shoot straight from the hip.

It's already been 15 years.

If Yubune-san wasn't married to that producer,

she never would've been a star.

Actually we were all afraid of her husband.

In the end, we all were the victims.

Please feel free to make yourself at home.

Isn't this a little bit too close?

I guess I overdid it.

But this is...

still a little too close.

Just about everyone seems kind of suspicious, huh?

Yeah, I guess.

Was the hot spring nice?

Yeah, I guess.

Always with the "I guess, I guess" stuff.

Wo... Wo... Would you like some beer?

Nah.

You're right. It's not good for you anyway.

But I think I'll have some anyway.

I don't know why they didn't get us separate rooms.

Not very hospitable, are they?

Could it be that they think we're a couple?

What do you think, Kiriyama-kun?

Hm?

But this cliff has sharp, pointy rocks, so it hurts your feet.

Hm... Kumamoto-san really did a good job on this.

I'm impressed.

What are you doing here?

Oh... Not much.

Someone died here a while back, right?

Oh, when they were shooting that TV show...

Yeah.

I remember that.

The scene was a mess.

You were watching?

Not the woman's death...

But on the set on that day...

Don't come any closer!

Jesus Christ!

CUT! CUT! CUT!

Since when does the actress get to say "cut"?

Sensei, was there a problem?

Damn you.

You always ruin my rhythm!

How many times do I have to tell you?!

Can't you just follow her lead?

I'm sorry.

You too!

(Hang in there!)

You should just do as I say!

You there in AD.

Huh?

I heard you saying something under you breath.

Get over here.

I could hear you!

That's a wrap for today!

You're all fired!

You all are fired!

Forgive us!

That woman was awful!

I also saw something else.

You saw something else?

Actually,

I work in that hotel over there.

Ah~

[Inugoezaki Sights Hotel]

I give up.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

You're not doing anything wrong.

Milk is the best.

Mixing your private life with your work...

you're such an amateur.

You know it.

Actually,

I wanted to apologize.

Huh?

You two...

are engaged, right?

That's right.

I'm sorry.

Sorry for what?

I didn't know.

But if I had known, I would never have done that.

Done what?

When a man and a woman are together, anything can happen.

Don't blame him.

It's all my fault.

I simply wanted him to console me.

What are you talking about?

Ask him.

Bye now.

What was that about?

Huh?

Beats me...

Basically, that's how it went.

Woah~ You got the dirt on these stars.

Thank you for the star gossip.

No problem.

He learned a bunch of cool TV jargon.

He told me that even at night they say, "good morning"!

They say it with that weird voice?

"Good morning" at night?

Tell us more professor!

What about her autograph? You ate together with Tabiko Ayame, right?

What happened then?

Are you okay?

Why wouldn't I be?

Oh... Well...

Did something happen between you two out there?

You two seem so distant.

Nothing happened!

In my opinion, she looks beautiful in a fix.

What's "fix" mean?

Like when they fix the camera in one place and shoot.

Oh...

Oh, I thought you said "fax".

Oh, please wash that up.

Wa... wash?

It means to clean up.

Oh~ So I gotta wash this, huh?

I think today I'll eat quickly so I can frame in and frame out of work early.

Frame in/frame out?

So cool!

Please, tell us more!

For instance, what's this called?

Hitter.

How about this?

The blonde.

What about this?

Sticky-cho~

Sticky-cho?

Really?

Oh, Saneie, is the file you're holding...

grocery?

"Grocery"?

We say "grocery" when something is tilted.

For instance, if I were to make something grocery,

I would put it like this. See?

A grocery store puts vegetables on a slanted surface, right?

Things which are difficult to see when flat...

look better on camera when on a slanted surface.

That's why we make them grocery!

Yes-sir-ee! It's gro-cer-y!

Hey, hey! Listen up!

The right is "dexter";

the left is "sinister".

Okay, now all together!

Which was it?

Right is "dexter".

Left is "sinister".

One more time!

Right is "dexter".

Left is "sinister".

Once more!

Right is dexter. Left is sinister.

Excuse me...

Yeah?

I'm trying to find this place.

Oh, there, huh?

Strut straight this way, then make a dexter. At the light that frames in, swivel sinister.

Next to the apple box-lookin' building on the sinister, you'll see a rusty pigeon. Shoot up to the third reel, and you're there.

Oh...

There's a railroad crossing up ahead, so keep yo' head up.

Well, that's a wrap.

C'ya!

You make it sound as if I killed him.

Precisely.

Because you are the murderer.

You must be joking!

Kiriyama-kun, TV show criminal hunting time is over!

Oh... really...

Let's go over what we know so far.

Sure, okay.

First of all, she fell from this cliff to her death.

I heard from the fisherman there that

Yubune-san often pushed Tabiko-san around on the set.

In addition, Kuroda-san, the audio technician who watched out for Tabiko,

was, in fact, engaged to her.

And then she had her fiance stolen by Yubune-san.

Hmm...

Yubune-san lost her life on this cliff.

The producer, who has since died, swore it was a murder,

but in the end, it was considered to be an accident.

Tabiko-san, the main suspect, became the new Jakusui-sensei and led to the

show's revival.

The scandal ended up leading to her fame.

The audio tech Kuroda-san said:

"We all ended up being the victims."

In the end, we all were the victims.

What if her husband found out about the affair with Kuroda-san?

She might have to give up her role.

I think so, too.

Or maybe not.

Why's that?

Well,

Those two wounds you spoke of...

Wounds?

The two injuries to Yubune's head. You know, the two fatal wounds.

Uh huh.

Hello?

Are you free tonight?

Oh, sure.

I've been wanting to see you.

Oh... okay... sure thing.

Who was that?

Did I make you wait?

Sorry!

No, you didn't...

a bit...

I mean... not even a little...

...no wait at all.

I can see my own breath.

Shall we?

Yes!

Almost like we're in a TV drama, huh?

Did you find out anything new?

Right now I'm pretty much clueless.

But it seems as though you...

What?

Oh, nothing.

What is it?

I got it.

What you really want to say is,

"It's like you're trying to make yourself look like the criminal," right?

You haven't been watching the series very closely, have you?

Yes, I have!

Then tell me Jakusui's special characteristics.

The detective on the show...

keeps interrogating someone as if they were the criminal until they give in.

What if I were the criminal?

Huh?

Hm?

What do you think of this?

That's fine. Let's get rolling.

What's this?

Actually, I snuck out with this.

This is the scene taken right before her death.

Don't take another step towards that cliff!

Then stop coming closer!

Stop!

I have proof that you are the real criminal right here!

Take out the letter.

Show it to her.

Okay.

You understand now, don't you.

Here, I'll read it.

There's no sound at the end?

Unfortunately, this is the only tape left.

Can I take another look?

At what?

Just at the last part.

Where?

Oh, right here!

Here, I'll read it.

Hm... I'd really like to know what was written on that letter.

Oh, well that's just like in the script.

Huh? Uh...

Here?

"This is the letter left by the one you killed!"

"I now know everything!"

That's right.

Kiriyama-kun...

Your acting is pretty good.

Huh? I don't think so.

I just want to solve this case.

You send chills down my spine.

That's it! I just had a great idea.

Why don't you act in the show?

Huh?! Me?!

Yeah, you.

Me?!

That way the drama will be extremely scandalous!

Me act?!

A real police officer acting in the show...

Perfect!

Perfect!

You think so?

Are you serious?

Apparently shh-o.

No way...

That's just not right!

That's incredible!

Did you memorize your lines?

Well, not yet.

Let me take a look at that script!

Woah! This is the real thing! The lost 13th episode!

It's so fantastic that you're able to take a part in it, Kiriyama!

This is awesome!

Let's hear some lines!

Sure thing! Where should I start?

The last scene.

No problem. Let's do this.

Then we need someone to play Jakusui-sensei.

How about you, Mikazuki-kun?

Count me out.

I can't do it, either.

Ooh, me!

Leave it to me!

Wait right there!

I'll do it.

The time has come for my... Shh!

Lights, Camera, Action!

Don't move any closer to that cliff!

Then don't come so close!

Stop where you are!

I have proof here that you are the criminal.

Get out the letter!

Okay.

Give it to her!

Yes.

Certainly now you understand.

This... This is...

This was written by the one you killed moments before dying.

I now know everything!

We know what it says.

"I know you're going to try to kill me on this cliff."

"So at some point, this cliff will drop you into doubt."

Give up and confess your crime!

Ready on the set!

Action!

Don't move any closer to that cliff!

Then don't come so close!

Stop where you are!!

Cut!

That was the best acting in all of Japan!

This time go for the best acting in the world!

Nice job.

Oh, thank you!

This'll be the real take!

Ready!

Action!

Don't move any closer to that cliff!

Then don't come so close!

Stop where you are!!!

I have proof here that you are the criminal.

Get out the letter!

This one?!!

Give it to her!!

Do you still plan on playing innocent now?

Huh?

What's wrong with her?

Keep going!

Huh?

Here, shall I read it?

I know that you're the real criminal, Tabiko-san.

I am the one who fell from this cliff, Yubune Shirakawa.

Tabiko-san...

At that time, you also read from a letter a confession that wasn't in the script.

I decided to copy what you did.

I will read a letter...

that wasn't supposed to be in the scene.

You were the criminal at that time,

Tabiko-san.

What's this about?

It goes on.

What's going on here?

At that time, you read a letter as part of the scene in the same way.

But then you read a different letter just like I am doing now.

Why did you do this?

Perhaps the reason is because I was having troubles with my husband

and ended up taking it out on the staff.

The one who listened to my worries...

was the audio tech Kuroda-san.

I did nothing with that woman.

It was a lie!

I started to cheat on my husband with Kuroda-san,

and even fell in love with Kuroda while shooting the show.

When you found that out,

What would your husband do if he knew?

You wrote a letter...

saying you would tell my husband.

And at that moment,

Shall I tell Producer Shirakawa about this?

we started to fight.

What are you trying to do?!

Why did you go to such lengths to ruin me?

Was it because you and Kuroda-san

were engaged at the time?

An actress with no talent...

who had her man taken away.

Is that what you found unforgivable?

Is this supposed to be her ghost talking?

Or are you just pulling a prank?

This voice is all me just "pulling pranks".

Even so, the story is still incomplete.

In reality, Yubune Shirakawa...

knew nothing of the facts...

when she died.

Tabiko-san...

Unfortunately,

the real case took an unexpected turn.

Huh?

On that video.

Video?

On that video...

when Yubune-san was falling down,

there was some time before her head left the shot, right?

Yeah...

At that point, the boom that Kuroda-san was holding

hit her in the head. This surprised me.

Do you have to be so close?

The waves are so loud,

if I go any farther,

we can't pick up her lines.

If she collided with the boom, then well...

she must have been at this distance, right?

In other words, she didn't fall from the cliff at that point.

Mikazuki-kun! Could you bring that up here?

Sure!

Ah, please allow me to hold those.

There is a sharp rock on top of this cliff.

What are you trying to say?

The answer is simple.

Yubune-san at first...

probably hit her head on this rock.

Therefore, she was nowhere near falling off the cliff.

There were two mortal wounds to her head when they found the body.

The first of those happened on top of the cliff.

As you can see on the tape, at the moment that Yubune goes off camera,

her head hit the boom.

The boom hit her in the back of her head.

In other words, the boom was being held between her and the cliff.

Judging from the length of the boom,

I realized that she couldn't have fallen at that point.

Yubune-san fell down while still on top of the cliff.

She lost her balance during the fight,

and unluckily hit her head.

At that time, however, she may still have been alive.

I believe that she fell from the cliff after that.

In summary, the first wound happened on top of the cliff,

and the second one happened at the bottom.

But how did she fall?

There's no way she could have fallen by herself.

Therefore, someone must have dropped her body off the edge.

According to my deduction, it was...

everyone of you here on the staff.

What happened?!

It's my fault!

Every one of you...

You're all fired!

Fired!

Damn it!

I'll show you!

I can't get up.

Why?

My...

My neck...

Did you catch this on tape?

Yeah.

But you can't tell where she fell.

All right then.

Tabiko...

Don't cry!

It was an accident!

Right?

That's right!

She's still breathing!

What should we do? If we take her to the hospital now...

If we do that, Tabiko will be blamed for everything.

We've all put up with a lot of her shit!

How you felt about her...

was how we felt about her!

We should take her...

all together...

and drop her off the cliff!

Yes, sir!

You all sympathized with her

and shared her burden by dropping the body from the cliff. Isn't that right?

We've heard enough!

You found out everything.

I didn't want...

to kill her.

I...

just wanted to push her mentally

like we always did on the show.

I didn't mean for her to die.

You know?

She tripped, right?

That's right!

Yeah!

She tripped!

She simply tripped and fell!

As you say, she may have just tripped at first...

but you wanted to kill her, didn't you, Tabiko-san?

What are you trying to do?!

Am I right?

Did you want to kill her?

That's the conclusion to my deduction.

Now, I can only hope the real criminal will fill in the details for us.

Spread what you've told us here around!

Spread where?

Take it to the news;

Tell it to everyone you know!

You are my stage for advertising.

Tabiko-san...

This case's time has already passed.

So unfortunately, he won't be able to tell anyone about this.

You're here to build up the tension in the show, you know.

That's the only reason you're here.

Sorry, but I can't tell anyone.

It's a promise I always make.

Cut!

Cut! Cut!

We had no choice.

I saw everything right through this lens here!

She just tripped; that's all!

We didn't kill her!

Tabiko Ayame...

and all of you as well...

The case is over with.

So I won't be telling anybody else about this.

From the beginning, this has just been my hobby, and now I'm done with this case.

For those involved in the crime, I always have this.

My "I won't tell anybody" card.

I'll stamp this here.

Please carry it with you.

Here you are.

[Tabiko Ayame and staff: I won't tell anybody about this case. Shuuichirou Kiriyama]

I guess I'll be going.

Wait right there!

What?

What's with your attitude?

You mean to say you weren't even my fan from the start?

You just wanted to solve this case?

This is my hobby! (5)

Even though I can't arrest, (7)

a crime is a crime! (5)

I ripped off your haiku.

There'll be no mercy! (5)

Even with your amnesty, (7)

a hobby is a hobby!

What are we gonna do about the scene?

Not much we can do.

That Kiriyama guy was of no help at all.

I underestimated him.

I'm impressed.

There'll be no mercy. (5)

Even with your amnesty, (7)

a crime is a crime. (5)

Hmm...

Let's do it from the top!

Okay!

Was he on TV last night?

No, he didn't.

I thought I didn't see him.

He wasn't in a single scene.

I thought maybe I just missed his scene, but he wasn't even in the credits.

Keep it down. He'll hear you.

Kiriyama-kun is actually a very delicate guy.

You don't have to rub it in.

Hey, Kiriyama-kun...

Did you get to act in the show?

What show?

"What show"? Didn't you see the Jakusui-sensei last night?

Yeah.

You said you were going to be in it... but you weren't.

Maybe my acting just wasn't that good so I got edited out.

His acting was no good!

So that's why!

At least you can dream!

We can't expect too much from you.

I knew you wouldn't make the cut.

I'm already over it.

Kiriyama, wash this up!

"Wash up"? What's that?

How am I supposed to wash this?

Did I use it wrong? I thought you said that's how to use it!

Kiriyama-kun seems to have forgotten everything.

Right, Kiriyama?

Good mo~rning.

Good mo~rning.

I think it's time to frame in and wash up some work.

I was up all night yesterday, so I feel so reeled out!

Oh, Kiriyama. Whatchu strainin' 'bout?

What does "straining" mean again?

I know it must've been hard on you not to be in the show,

but don't frame out too much!

Well it looks like it's time for action people!

Study your lines!

Next time on Jikou Keisatsu...

[The case of the kiss of death] Can somebody really die from a kiss?

[What happened on the doctor's wedding anniversary?] Kill with a kiss! How sweet be the lips of death!

[The director this time was Sean Sono (Sono Sho-n) But this drama is fiction (Fikushon). Those appearing within have no relation to those living or dead.]
