- Here you go. - Thank you.

The Invisible Man Vs. The Human Fly

Producer: Hidemasa Nagata

Screenplay: Hajime Takaiwa, Planning: Osamu Yoneda Based on original idea by Toshikazu Yamano

We would like to welcome passengers arriving from...

Osaka/Fukuoka. We apologize for the delay.

Starring:

Yoshiro Kitahara, Ryuji Shinagawa, Junko Kanau & Ikuko Mori

Director: Mitsuo Yamamura

- Please come in. - Thank you.

- Dad! - Akiko. - Professor, are you all right?

Thanks for your concern, but I'm all right now.

- That's a relief; I was worried. - Tsukioka. - Hey, Wakabayashi.

Could I have a word with you?

There was a murder on that flight.

Unfortunately, we have to detain everyone on the plane for our investigation.

Is Professor Hayakawa all right?

He had a heart attack when he was delivering a lecture in Kyushu.

I'd like to get him home as soon as possible.

Go ahead, take him home.

I'll visit him later at his place. He was sitting directly next to the victim.

I'll talk to you later.

Sorry for the wait. Please make yourselves comfortable.

Let me get this straight...

When you were handing out the ice-cream, the victim went...

into the bathroom, came out, and then was murdered.

Yes, I believe that's how it happened.

Did any of the passengers stand up during that time?

I was standing near the restroom, but no one went in.

Douglas DC4B Seating Chart

We carefully investigated all the passengers and crew,

but none of them had any motive or connection...

with the victim, Ryoki Watanabe.

The deceased was the president of Watanabe Construction,

which was founded after WWII.

It was doing well, and there is no reason to believe it was suicide.

Everything about this case points to homicide.

However, it is physically impossible for...

the perpetrator to have committed the crime and escaped.

Nihonbashi Bank Robbery Ginza Bank Murder Kabutocho Securities Murder

Captain, how many violent crimes are still unsolved?

There have been five murders in the last three months, not counting this one.

Two have been solved. One or two are regarded as nearly solved.

Murders related to the Ginza Savings and Loan robbery...

and the Nihonbashi Taisho Trust Bank robbery are still open.

This case brings the body count to six, and stolen cash to �30 million.

Even with every department working on these cases,

we haven't got a single lead.

The case is starting to spark a public outcry,

which could have political repercussions, going forward.

There's no reason to believe that these crimes are related,

but they are all have one thing in common:

there are no clues whatsoever.

Commissioner, I've given the matter a great deal of thought,

and, aside from the lack of clues,

there is one other fact that links these crimes.

What is it?

The victims were in a terrible state of fear...

and did not resist the perpetrator.

Fear and non-resistance...

These two factors could prove to be...

the key to solving these crimes.

Are you saying that you have no idea who committed the crime?

That's right.

Then dad is the leading suspect, since he was sitting next to the murdered man.

I guess you're right!

Actually, that's why I dropped by today.

When you were sitting next to him,

did he say anything that might have hinted as to why someone would want him dead?

No, I wasn't feeling well.

I was certainly in no mood to be talking.

I see...

Come in.

Oh, hey. How's the investigation going?

It's no good on my end either.

Still, there was no way on or off that airplane.

The perpetrator had to be on board.

We can't count out the professor just yet.

Assuming the criminal wasn't invisible...

Invisibility is no longer in the realm of impossibility.

Mr. Tsukioka, go ahead and show him. I trust Mr. Wakabayashi.

Excuse us.

This is quite a set-up...

Hey, there. Excuse us.

Mr. Wakabayashi, this is Mr. Sugimoto.

- Pleased to meet you. - Likewise.

We've been friends since elementary school. Now he's...

I know, he's a well-known police detective.

I forgot that you were a fan of mystery novels.

He's the most feared man in Tokyo.

You really take the bull by the horns, don't you?

Get back to work.

I'll explain the set-up...

Light has a fixed wavelength. The human eye is the same.

It can only perceive light inside of that wavelength.

Conversely, if an object doesn't overlap with this spectrum...

visible to the human eye, the object cannot be seen.

You mean invisible light rays?

I think imperceptible would be a more accurate description.

As you know, we have investigated into cosmic rays with the help of Professor Hayakawa.

Along the way, we discovered a new and bizarre light ray.

The imperceptible light ray?

I'll show you in the next room.

Mr. Sugimoto, pull the switch.

By the way, what happens if you point that machine at a person?

- They would turn... - I couldn't say.

This technology was developed for study of cosmic radiation. It's an untested byproduct of our research.

It could prove dangerous, and it's not designed for animal life.

But if a human could use it for invisibility,

- he could commit the perfect murder. - I have to disagree.

The person would be invisible, but he would still occupy space and time.

See for yourself...

Still, I think it would be an invaluable tool in criminal investigation.

It's the perfect technology for stakeouts.

Fukoku Bank

Where are those normally kept?

I keep them on my belt when I sleep.

- So someone quietly snatched them while you were asleep. - Impossible!

I never let my guard down; even footsteps from outside wake me up.

Mr. Hayama, how is the victim?

He's still unconscious. The doctors said it's touch and go.

Sir, the press is waiting.

Let them wait.

How much was stolen?

Roughly �5.2 million. Just the cash...

pension accounts and overdrafts were untouched.

Any fingerprints?

Not a one. It's like he licked 'em off.

It's strange...

Every door was locked front and back and the windows are secured with iron bars.

The room was completely sealed off. What do you make of it?

Tatsuya Kuroki

Sir, I was correct...

- Kuroki is the manager of the night club Asia. - Any priors?

He doesn't have a criminal record, but he came from Kobe about three years ago.

I don't have any specifics beyond that.

So Kuroki's about the only link... between the two incidents.

Let's take a closer look at Kuroki and Club Asia.

Hey, you... is Kuroki around?

He should be around somewhere... Mr. Kuroki!

Good evening. Scotch.

- For him, too. - None for me. - What's the problem?

I don't believe a glass of whiskey constitutes a bribe.

- Go ahead. - No.

You're a hard case. Just for the record, I have nothing to hide.

I've always detested criminal behavior.

Allow me to introduce my bartender. This is Hajima.

Pleased to meet you.

Don't get on this guy's wrong side; he was the toughest guy in the Ginza.

Mr. Kuroki, let's not dredge up the past.

You practice karate, too?

Just a hobby.

Isn't she a flower?

Hello. Yeah, it's me.

What's his alibi?

I see... Thanks for calling.

- A dead end? - They caught him for a stickup in Osaka.

He's been in prison since last week.

How are you doing, Toshio?

Zip, zilch, nada...

- Every lead has come up a zero. - At least you still have leads.

Anyhow, please make a report to every department involved in the investigation.

Are you all right? What happened?

Stay with me!

How is she?

The puncture went from her back all the way into her heart. It was a fatal injury.

She fell almost immediately after being stabbed.

She must have died pretty much instantaneously.

What's wrong?

Nobody saw the assailant?

The woman was screaming in broad daylight. Someone should have seen the killer.

But nobody saw anyone at the scene of the crime, or even anyone running in the neighborhood.

It does seem implausible.

And yet it's a fact.

- Sorry I'm late. I'm Kusunoki. - This way. - Excuse me.

Hayama, the victim pointed upward with her finger?

No doubt about it. But there was nothing there, and then she died.

By the way, how did Kuroki's alibi check out?

He said that after he returned from Club Asia, he spent the evening with a woman.

Of course, there is no third party to corroborate the story.

The story about Asia stinks, and I don't know what he's up to.

Still, I think we can rule him out, because he doesn't use matches.

He has his own lighter.

Could you confirm the identity?

It is definitely Noriko Maeda. Poor girl...

- Can you think of anything... - No, nothing.

She was a serious, honest girl, who didn't have an enemy in the world.

Were there any suitors in the picture?

No, I looked into that, but she wasn't that kind of a girl.

She lived alone, and her apartment was clean.

Where in the world was Miss Maeda going?

Actually, we have no idea...

However, I thought it was a bit strange that she left without saying where she was going.

So it happened while you were out of the office?

I was on the roof, practicing golf.

She was a very proper girl, so nothing like this has ever happened before.

Mr. Kusunoki, I'm sorry to trouble you, but could you show us your office?

There might be a clue in her desk.

You're welcome to see it. Shall we go right now?

Good. Let's go, Tata.

Did you find anything?

No, she was very proper, as you said.

- Anything there, Hayama? - Nope, it's clean here.

Where in the devil could she have been going?

Do you have any other employees?

No, this is a small business. One is enough.

What do you do for a living?

My real job is in import-export, but I don't make any money at it.

That's why I'm trying to make a little on the side.

- Is this building yours? - Yes, I just built it.

It's getting hard to get by in Japan... Please, have a seat.

If I'd known how tough it would be in Japan, I would have stayed in South America.

But constructing a building like this... it's quite an accomplishment.

No, I just wanted to be able to make a living playing golf.

I entrusted my business to Miss Maeda... and look what happened to her.

I implore you to find the perpetrator of this ghastly crime.

If it will help, I'll even put up my own money as a reward.

I beg of you.

Good evening, sir.

Stay seated... Give me the news.

His alibi checks out.

Several people saw him playing golf at the time of the murder.

I looked into his background and there doesn't appear to be any dirt under his fingernails.

He's a gentleman, as near as I can tell.

So long as his alibi is airtight, there's no problem.

Where's Hayama?

He went back to check on Club Asia.

What happened!? Who did this to you!?

Please accept my apology. He was murdered on my watch.

It wasn't your fault. You had no reason to believe he would be murdered.

At least we know that we're looking for the same killer as Miss Maeda.

Also, the motive wasn't money in either case.

This is a breakthrough in the case:

from where the murder occurred, it is clear that Hajima was on his way to Mieko's apartment.

Whether it was a crime of passion or a grudge...

Find out whatever you can about Hajima.

I just thought of something...

Mr. Watanabe, the construction company magnate murdered on the passenger flight,

and Dr. Shimane, who was stabbed in the waiting room of a hospital.

Going back even further, there was Dainishi Ogami,

They all have one strange thing in common. I figured it out going over my notes again.

They briefly served together just before the end of the war, in the Southern islands.

That is strange. They were army?

It was a technology-related operation. They were both army and civilian personnel...

Their ranks were also different, so I doubt they knew each other.

I doubt it has anything to do with this case...

When a case goes nowhere, you start seeing all kinds of patterns.

A hazard of the business.

- Sir, there's another similarity I should mention... - What is it?

Noriko Maeda and Goro Hajima had one other thing in common...

Related to the war?

- It's a little off the wall... - Spit it out, man.

- A sound. - A sound?

When Hajima was murdered, there was a strange buzzing sound.

Also, when Miss Maeda was killed she pointed upward,

and I'm quite sure I heard the sound then, too.

What did it sound like?

Like a housefly.

A housefly? They're all over the place.

Immediately before he was murdered, he was swatting away a bug flying around his face.

- Judging from that... - Hayama...

I hope you're not suggesting that the murderer was a housefly!

Mr. Hajima? There was nothing going on between us.

I wouldn't be seen with a bartender?

It's rude... asking such questions at an early hour.

What are you rubbernecking at? If you think I'm lying, ask around!

Oh, Wakabayashi... What? The sound of a buzzing housefly?

What are you talking about?

It's theoretically possible for a human to float around, if he shrank sufficiently in size.

But that's just in theory... I think it's safe to say it's impossible.

There's a highly poisonous fly called the tsetse in the South Sea.

But who could bring it back to this country?

The invisible ray? It wouldn't have any affect.

What did Wakabayashi want?

There was the sound of a housefly at the scene of the murder.

We get caught up in some pretty fanciful notions, but they're even worse!

Was it the human fly?

Human fly?! C'mon, you're a scientist.

Mr. Tsukioka...

I want to ask you to prioritize the inperceptibility research.

The completion of that research will allow the most heinous of crimes to be solved.

Get a hold of yourself.

Our research in cosmic radiation is for the advancement of modern science.

The transparency ray is only tangential.

I'm sure you understand.

Hajima couldn't have died in such an unbecoming manner.

According to the newspaper, you saw the whole thing.

It's just like the newspaper says.

Whoever... wants to frame me for this has the police on their side.

This isn't a laughing matter.

The police have no interest in getting involved in your personal vendettas.

Have a seat.

No matter... I'll wring the neck of whoever's responsible with my own hands.

By the way, Mr. Kuroki, did the dancer Mieko have any other boyfriends, aside from Mr. Hajima?

Are you asking if a jealous suitor killed Hajima?

It's strange that an object can become invisible just by projecting a ray of light onto it.

It's science... optics, actually.

Science is steadily making man's dreams and desires a reality.

Then why did we invent the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb for destruction?

They were just coincidental byproducts of atomic research.

Since it came from research on cosmic rays,

the invisibility ray might be the same, right?

I prefer to call it the imperceptibility ray.

It was originally referred to as the sun ray.

Dinner is served.

Everything looks wonderful.

- I wonder what happened to Mr. Sugimoto... - I'll call him.

Forget about it - he's so proud of how much he can eat. He'll be along.

Akiko, turn on the radio.

- What is it? - It turned on by itself.

The switch must be faulty. Sugimoto will take a look at it later.

- Darn it! Sugimoto! - Sugimoto!

Forgive me, Akiko. I didn't mean to frighten you.

I came when I got hungry. Unfortunately, I can't eat this way.

So human skin doesn't absorb the rays?

That's right: your face and hands and other body parts...

exposed to the sun's rays for long periods of time don't work.

So I've kept my face wrapped up and my hands gloved.

How has it affected you physically?

Well, my appetite is unchanged.

I must apologize for using it so extensively...

without consulting you, Mr. Tsukioka, or the professor.

What in the world were you thinking?

You know better than anyone that we don't understand how to...

restore your appearance, and the methodology is still unclear.

I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself.

I thought that if I tested it on myself,

Mr. Tsukioka would be willing to move forward with the research.

Please, Mr. Tsukioka, I can be your guinea pig! I'm begging you!

Mr. Tsukioka, I'm, begging you.

Sugimoto!

I want someone who can get the job done.

What... Money?

We'll decide that when I see your work.

Come by train tomorrow.

What do you want?

Dammit!

Rouge Room

He's late!

You're late. Where have you been dawdling? Hey!

Shut up! Leave me alone.

You better than anyone should know how I feel.

It's been so long, I've forgotten...

But just to let you know, we're practically out of the agent.

That's impossible; there was a huge cache on the island.

Only the underground supply was taken, but it should have been enough for an entire battalion.

Don't waste your breath; it won't help.

I've had enough of your bungling.

What do you think I bungled?

Why did you kill Hajima?

He was putting the moves on Mieko...

Dammit, I won't let anyone touch Mieko.

Even now, that bastard Kuroki...

Get a hold of yourself! You're crazy with jealousy.

That's why you killed Noriko Maeda too, isn't it?

There's no way I'm giving you an ampoule.

Please, you have to give me just one.

I can't take it sometimes.

I'll do anything you ask - just give me one.

No way.

- Mr. Kusunoki, I've done everything you've... - Shut up!

This building, the night club... I've been after small potatoes.

I was the one who was convicted as a war criminal and left on that island.

I won't let those bastards forget it.

Watanabe, Shimane, Ogami...

they used the post-war turmoil to escape.

I was left holding the bag.

Bastards!

After that, six years of hard labor.

The only revenge that will satisfy me...

is for them to die by the very chemical that they made.

And you will be the one to carry it out.

You've become crueller as time goes on.

You're killing people like they were insects!

I understand. I get it. Please, just give me an ampoule! Mr. Kusunoki!

Get out. Go straight to Club Asia.

I don't care if you visit Mieko, but don't go running your mouth off to her.

Okata, take this to Detective Sato.

About what time was it... the phone call from Mr. Hayama?

Just before nine.

- Reporting back, Captain. - What happened?

Three from Kobe. They're here of their own free will.

Okata... it's 10:00.

Detective Hayama Brutally Murdered Police Turn Up No Clues

Captain, maybe we should pick up Yamada.

I don't see any other way.

No, we can only play that card once.

We don't have anything on him,

and it could clear his name if things go badly.

But the press is screaming bloody murder...

Detective Tada, I won't give in to public pressure.

The problem is playing our hand.

What is your thinking on the matter, Captain?

- Science. - Science?

This is the invisibility ray machine.

I can't believe you did it...

But the machine is so big, you can't just make an object invisible anywhere you please.

Actually, it collapses to the size of a portable radio and is easily transported.

That's incredible!

- You haven't mentioned it to anyone, have you? - No, why?

A newspaper reporter came to the professor's house...

I thought you might have been the source of the leak.

Mr. Wakabayashi, this is the restoration ray radiator.

That will make you visible again?

Tsukioka, congratulations.

I guess you could call it a success...

What's the problem?

I want to be restored from my partially invisible state.

That's amazing!

- What are you waiting for? - Just a second...

It's been two minutes, it shouldn't take much longer...

When we do an autopsy on the rabbit, we'll find that it had cancer.

A human being is no different. For that reason,

the person made invisible must be prepared to remain invisible...

for the rest of his life... or be prepared to die.

Mieko, you're up next.

Inspector, you have to believe me...

This is the only way we can crack the case.

You should listen to yourself...

ranting about men shrinking to the size of a fly and buzzing around!

No one would believe your story.

Wakabayashi, yesterday a dancer was killed at Club Asia.

The rash of murders over the last few months is not just affecting Tokyo,

it's leaving the entire country in a panic.

You can't bring something as implausible as a human fly into the investigation.

It's not all that implausible.

It's possible in theory and, according to Detective Hayama,

when Noriko Maeda was murdered, she was pointing with her finger...

and when Hajima died, he was swatting around his face,

and the buzz of a housefly could be heard.

With the dancer who was killed last night, there wasn't anyone in the stage pit...

Then I have a question for you...

All three of them all died from stab wounds in the back that penetrated their hearts.

That's completely at odds with your theory.

You're tired...

Why don't you burn up a few vacation days?

Please wait.

Indeed, I have been under a great deal of pressure,

but I'm asking you for a few more days. Please.

- Tsukioka! - I don't have to make excuses.

I've told you, I won't tell anyone. Just talk to me as a friend.

Look down below:

there could be a hideous crime being committed, even as we speak.

- Turn the invisibility ray on me! - What?

It's the only way to rid this city...

of an unstoppable murderer.

But you know the restoration technology is incomplete...

Even if we could manage to re-transform you, the fatality rate...

I don't care.

As an officer of the law, I can't just stand by and do nothing.

I just want to be made invisible, so I can stop these ghastly crimes, once and for all.

That is the duty and responsibility of any officer of the law.

Just as you're a policeman, I'm a scientist.

I can't sacrifice a human life for my work.

Irrespective of how honorable the purpose might be, my conscience won't allow it.

You'll have to excuse me.

Mr. Tsukioka!

It's getting gradually weaker.

It's no good. How many minutes?

28.

I wonder where Professor Hayakawa is...

Professor! Sugimoto!

Dad! Dad! Mr. Sugimoto!

Just a second, I'll try the emergency switch.

Akiko, don't look!

Professor!

Professor Hayakawa Murdered!

Insatiable Rampage of Bloodlust!

Hello, Kusunoki... I'm sorry about the other day.

Of course I'll be there. I was just getting ready.

The weather is supposed to be fine. I'll see you tonight at Tokyo Station.

I thought I told you never to come during the day.

Maybe I shouldn't have come. I was careful not to be followed.

I have no more business with you.

But I have business with you.

If you're here for another dose of the agent, think again.

I told you to get the invisibility ray: you went and killed more people.

You think I'm going to give you an ampoule?

They were bimbos and fools. I just got carried away.

And Mieko?

She betrayed me.

Regardless, I don't have any ampoules to spare.

I won't leave until you give me one.

What are you going to do...

shoot me?

It ain't even loaded.

I wasn't born yesterday!

I'm going to the inn tonight.

It's going to go well this time.

I'll definitely need the invisibility ray.

You got it? If you're agreeable...

I am...

I'd do anything for this stuff.

Captain, the cause of death was definitely burns from this chemical.

It's hard to believe that you could get such severe burns...

from such a small amount of an agent.

Detective Tada, it's another locked-room mystery.

The windows were shut tight and the doors were all locked from the outside.

From the outside?

Then how did Yamada get in?

There...

That's the only possible entrance.

It doesn't seem possible.

- Except for a fly... - A fly?!

A human fly!

What are you doing here? This is unacceptable.

- I don't care if you are police officers... - Mr. Kusunoki...

We have a warrant for your arrest.

Preposterous! On what grounds?

For the past several months, an untraceable murderer has been terrifying the general public.

We are arresting you as a suspect in these crimes.

Are you interfering with the administration of the law?

Your allegations are absurd. Get out of here.

I'll have my lawyer get back to you.

Aside from the crimes listed on the warrant,

you're also under investigation in the bizarre death of one Toshio Yamada.

Yamada... when did he die?

Yesterday, past midnight at Professor Hayakawa's laboratory.

He died from severe burns all over his body.

Last night I stayed at an inn in Izu. I only just returned.

If you don't believe me, there are several people who can corroborate my story.

- Let's go. - Get away from me.

If you take me by force, I'll sue you for civil rights violations!

Mr. Kusunoki.

Let me go! Where's the proof?

I saw everything!

Who's there?

I'm a witness.

What did you order Mr. Yamada to do yesterday?

You killed Professor Hayakawa and Mr. Sugimoto!

You beat me, Tsukioka. I never guessed that you were in the room.

Mr. Wakabayashi, I'll go anywhere you like.

Please just let me change in the next room first.

I won't try anything funny.

Detective Tada.

Damn!

Citizens of Tokyo, Please give the utmost caution to the Human Fly.

He could be anywhere.

The Human Fly is the ultimate evil and is trying to kill YOU.

Please keep your eyes peeled for the Human Fly.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Give me a break!

Alert All Citizens of Tokyo: The Human Fly is Wanted for Murder Kokichi Kusunoki

What happened? Listen to me!

Tsukioka?

Sorry I'm late. What's the emergency?

A call came in that the human fly wanted to talk to you and me at two o' clock.

Who placed the call?

It was from a pay phone, but I wanted...

to nab him, in case he calls again.

Sato, is everything OK on your end?

Yes, everything's fine.

Hi, it's me.

He's here... Mr. Tsukioka, he wants to talk to you.

Hello, it's Tsukioka.

If you try to trace this call...

I'll just shrink down to the size of a bug if you come after me.

I want the invisibility ray machine.

Can you hear me?

You'll be shooting yourself in the foot not to comply with my request.

So, what's your answer?

Forget it.

It's just as well.

In exactly three minutes, I'll give you a little payback.

Go up on the roof and look down at the railway overpass.

Three minutes...

Unprecedented Carnage: 790 Dead!!

Human Fly Demands Invisibility Ray! Second Explosion in a Week if Demand not Met!

Public Outrage at Police, Parliament Convenes Emergency Inquiry

Although the one-week deadline set by the Human Fly expires in three days,

we have no way of knowing what target he will seek to blow up next.

Of course, we are tirelessly searching and monitoring every office building,

government facility, hotel, theater and department store.

We plan to ramp up our efforts over the next three days...

I'm sorry to interrupt...

An urgent message was just received by...

the central Tokyo press corps from the Human Fly.

The press has no reason to turn him down, so they're running the story.

They've decided to give us a heads-up in advance.

Here's the document.

"Give me the invisibility ray on the roof of the Marunouchi World Building.

"I want Captain Wakabayashi to give it to me alone at midnight on September 14.

"--The Human Fly"

Here's a special bulletin regarding the Human Fly.

The Countermeasure Council of the National Diet invited the top brass of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police.

The group decided that, given the Human Fly's vicious nature, another major explosion is inevitable.

The meeting is intended to avert another major explosion. The government is considering declaring martial law.

According to an announcement by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police,

the whereabouts of the Human Fly, Kokichi Kusunoki, are still unknown.

Despite the extensive manhunt being conducted by the police, he does appear to be hiding out somewhere in Tokyo.

This just in: the police have decided to give up their investigation and acquiesce...

to the demands of the Human Fly, and hand over the invisibility ray machine.

Unit 98 calling Tokyo Metropolitan Police HQ

Copy and over, Unit 98.

We have dispatched police officers to Shibuya.

Roger and out.

Unit 99 calling Tokyo Metropolitan Police HQ.

Copy and over, Unit 99.

We have dispatched police officers to Ginza.

Roger and out, Unit 99.

Captain, the police units have all been dispatched.

Tada, I'm going to the site. Are all preparations complete?

Yep.

You broke your promise.

Well, no matter... I figured you would,

so I broke mine... the bomb is ready to explode.

Where!? Where is it?!

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. You still have eight minutes.

Tsukioka! Invisible Man! Show yourself!

I know you're here somewhere! Come out!

I know he's here... No dice, huh?

Still, if you try anything funny, the bomb is already set.

You have it, don't you?

The only guarantee I can make is that the bomb will explode at the time I stated!

Set it down and turn around.

You have six minutes.

Stop!

Stop! Wait!

Tell me where the bomb is!

You think I'm bluffing. You'll find out in four minutes.

No! Tell me!

- Why don't you just hand it over? - Where is it?!

Dammit, you're finally catching on.

Wait!

So you've decided to come out and play, Tsukioka...

I've been looking forward to this.

Tsukioka, don't. What can we do without you?

He'll use the invisibility ray as a weapon.

Kusunoki, it is me who has been waiting for you.

Hey, I'll tell you...

The bomb is far, far away, on Christmas Island!

He's coming back...

Miss Hayakawa!

Wait!

Kusunoki!

The Human Fly was really done in by the young damsel!

I never dreamed that Akiko would turn up in that helicopter.

It didn't seem real... I don't even remember it.

In any event, you saved the day.

You surely did.

That was really great... wasn't it?

- I owe you an apology. - How's that?

I didn't have time to let you know that I had completed the restoration ray.

No apologies necessary!

Hey, Captain, you finally solved the case.

I heard you and Dr. Tsukioka went to school together.

What's the outlook for the invisibility ray?

Hey guys, what's the rush?

I don't see Professor Hayakawa's daughter...

What happened to her?

She's changing her clothes there now.

I don't see anyone changing...

OK, get it ready... Go ahead, Akiko.

Just one more time...

Everyone, listen up. Dr. Tsukioka would like to say a few words...

I am very happy that my research...

could assist in this investigation.

In accordance with Professor Hayakawa's wishes,

I will entrust the management of the imperceptibility device...

to the government authorities.

That's all I have to say.

There he is!

Professor, please wait!
