Original subtitles

Dr. Magata, why did you kill your parents?

Previously on 'The Perfect Insider.'

What was the motive?

I wonder if it just wanted to play outside?

I wonder if Dr. Magata Shiki is really on the other side of that door?

After the trial, she's never been outside for 15 years, not even once.

On that day, the door to Magata Shiki's room suddenly opened after being closed for 15 years.

What emerged from there was...

- Shiki-san. - Dr. Magata has been murdered.

Her arms and legs have been amputated from her corpse.

And the second murder took place on the roof of the laboratory.

What's important here is the fact that the murder took place in the room

where Dr. Magata was supposed to be alone.

There was someone other than Dr. Magata in that room.

That's the biggest proposition of this case.

At last, they stepped into Magata Shiki's room and found a mysterious message there...

Everything becomes 'F.'

What was lurking behind the hidden door was...

A robot?

[Nishinosono Moe] [Saikawa Sohei]

There's no one here.

What's this robot?

Who are you?

I am Michiru.

Michiru?

Michiru is lonely.

- Lonely is 'Nana.' - What the heck is 'Nana?'

You know, the number seven in Japanese.

Dr. Magata said the same thing. 'Seven is a lonely number.'

And why is this robot saying the same thing?

It has artificial intelligence. And that's probably Dr. Magata's voice being sampled.

So this robot locked the door from inside.

It seems to have been reconstructed from the P1 robot.

Mrs. Shindo.

Who is Michiru?

You know who she is, don't you?

Michiru was...

a doll Shiki-san used to cherish.

A doll?

Dr. Magata told me that a doll killed her parents.

That was Michiru?

You were at the crime scene when it happened.

Isn't that right?

That tragic event from 15 years ago took place in this room.

Will you please tell us what exactly happened here?

This room was originally for Mr. and Mrs. Magata.

At that time...

I heard Shiki-san's mother screaming

so I rushed into the room.

Her mother was already dead

and Shiki-san's father, Dr. Magata Sachiro, was just getting stabbed.

I won't allow it...

It was such a dreadful sight!

And Michiru was there?

Covered with blood...

Shiki-san insisted it was Michiru who killed her parents, even throughout the trial.

I wonder why she used such a name for the robot?

What happened to the doll?

I threw it away! Such a freaky thing!

Mrs. Shindo!

I threw it away...

Mrs. Shindo.

Where do you think the culprit vanished to?

How did he or she enter this room in the first place?

Would it be possible to think that Dr. Magata Shiki committed suicide?

Then who amputated her arms and legs? You're not going to say Michiru, are you?

Still no good.

Deborah's communication system is still not...

Not yet.

There's no trace of altering the program.

It means, there's nothing wrong with Deborah. How could I fix that, you know?

As Professor Saikawa was saying

how about the possibility of a Trojan horse, pretending to be normal software

planted by someone from the laboratory?

We've investigated that possibility too but couldn't find anything abnormal in any software.

We're running out of options.

There must be something you can do...

Ultimately we have no choice but to abandon Deborah, in other words, to switch the OS.

- Then why don't you do it right away? - No, there is too much risk.

Risk?

Once Deborah's security system stops functioning

it will enable the culprit inside this building to move freely.

And our research data will be jeopardized as well.

If it leaks to outside, this lab will even lose the significance of existence.

Do any other staff members know about the incidents?

We haven't told them yet. We just notified them never to leave their rooms.

I don't even know how to tell them.

Did you tell Magata Miki-san?

Yumiko-san and Dr. Yuminaga are telling her now.

Professor Saikawa, what are you doing here?

Hmm?

Came to verify the possibility of the culprit coming and going from the ground and roof.

Since this is the only area beyond Deborah's control.

It's about... 15 meters high.

I don't think you'll be able to jump down from this height.

Yeah. There's no trace of the rope having been used, either.

It's not realistic anyway.

Then where did the culprit go?

Must be someone from the laboratory. And that person is still inside this building.

I wonder if the culprit may be Yumiko-san.

That's quite a leap your thoughts have taken. On what ground?

The elevator is the only way to go out on the roof.

But between the time the director returned and the time his corpse was discovered

the elevator was stopped at the first basement during those 30 minutes.

That means the culprit was hiding on the roof even before the helicopter arrived

and stayed on the roof after he or she killed the director. I can't think otherwise.

- Yeah. - When we discovered the corpse

you and I went up on the roof with Yamane-san.

But Yumiko-san was also there.

Maybe Yumiko-san was actually hiding somewhere on the roof

and appeared behind us as if she had just come up.

I see, that's a unique hypothesis. Let's verify it, shall we?

Here's the video recording from the security camera installed for the exit to the roof.

This is when the helicopter arrived and you went to meet Miki-san.

And that's when you discovered the director's corpse.

Mrs. Shindo came out on the roof one minute after us.

That means she was inside the building until then.

I thought I was on the right track this time.

Wait a minute, you were actually suspecting Mrs. Shindo?

Hey! Please take a look at this!

Thinking there might be some clue, I was looking around Director Shindo's mail server and found this!

An interview with the director?

A boat is coming at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.

We can contact outside if we go to the port at that time!

Deputy Director! We've just found out that a boat is coming at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow!

It turns out that Director Shindo was scheduled to be interviewed.

Okay, I understand.

Yamane-san, what's going on?

I have something important to tell all of you.

[Yuminaga Tomihiko - Industrial physician of the Magata Laboratory]

Ms. Nishinosono Moe and Mr. Saikawa Sohei.

Please come to 101.

Deputy Director Yamane is calling for you.

We still don't have prospects of restoring the communication system.

So I've decided to take the last measure.

The last measure?

We're going to abandon Deborah and switch to another OS.

What? But didn't you say that the culprit could move freely

and the laboratory would be put in danger if you abandoned Deborah--

I've already given the order to switch at 8:00 a.m.

Why all of a sudden?

- A boat is coming at 10-- - We're running out of time here!

Since our operation has been interfered with too much, I've decided we've reached our limit.

Then we can contact the police right away?

Actually, I have a favor to ask the two of you.

Could you please keep quiet about Dr. Magata Shiki being murdered to the police?

Say it was only Director Shindo who was killed.

What are you saying?

The death of Dr. Magata means the death of this laboratory.

We simply can't admit it.

In order to protect this laboratory, you want us to cover up the death of Dr. Magata?

I've reached this conclusion after discussing with Mrs. Shindo and Dr. Yuminaga.

There's no way you can keep a secret like that...

Yes, we can. We'll just have to pretend that she's alive.

You're going to use her sister, Miki-san as a stand-in for Dr. Magata, aren't you?

- But Miki-san would never agree to do such-- - She's already agreed.

This laboratory is operated on huge contributions

from the government of various countries and major corporations.

- We must avoid the shutdown at all costs. - That's ridiculous!

Shimada-san, Mochizuki-san, and Hasebe-kun have already agreed.

All other staff members don't know the death of Dr. Magata. You're the only two that remain.

I'm sure Director Shindo would have come to the same conclusion if he was alive.

I see.

So it was such a force without character which had been locking up Dr. Magata Shiki in the basement.

There are visitors at the front gate.

Please instruct them to get on the boat at 10:00 a.m.

And don't say a word about Dr. Magata.

Oh, Professor Saikawa! And Nishinosono-san, too!

What were you doing? We've been worried.

We came to pick up the two of you after staying out all night.

I'm sorry about that. Actually we've been involved in a case and couldn't leave here.

Which case are you talking about?

The director of this laboratory has been murdered.

What? Is it true?

Kunieda-kun. A boat is coming at 10:00 a.m. Could you take everyone and go home first?

How about you two?

The police are coming soon. We won't be able to leave since we're the witnesses.

I'll be sure to call you later.

I understand.

We're leaving.

- Um, but-- - It'll be alright.

Ouch!

Yamane-san, I'll keep the secret as you said.

Professor Saikawa!

Thank you for your cooperation.

Let's go, Nishinosono-kun.

Wait a minute! Professor Saikawa!

Why did you say that?

It's not our job to think about the future of this laboratory.

And we can entrust the police to find out who the culprit is.

But Nishinosono-kun... We saw that with our own eyes.

A corpse with no arms and legs came out of a room where no one else was supposed to be inside.

How did the culprit go in and come out of that room?

We must find that answer.

Yes.

[The Perfect Insider] [Episode 6]

Subtitles by DramaFever

[Everything becomes 'F.']

Professor Saikawa, take a look at this.

This is the video recording of the time when Dr. Magata's corpse came out.

Look at the floor number display of the elevator.

Right here, it says B1.

But after the force reboot of Deborah...

the display changed to the roof.

I do remember that the elevator was at the roof level right after the incident.

This is the final notice. All functions inside the building will be stopped shortly.

They're switching the OS, aren't they?

Oh? Yamane-san said it would start at 8:00 a.m., but they're really behind schedule.

I can't think of any other way but for the culprit to come out of that door

and go up to the roof by elevator during the force reboot.

Yeah, but the culprit's figure wasn't captured on the video recording of the security camera.

The OS has been switched successfully.

- How about the communication part? - I'll check.

- Telephone and email are both working! - Call the police!

Excuse me.

This is the Kanagawa Prefectural Police.

There has been a murder case at the Magata Laboratory, located on the Himaka-jima Island.

Please dispatch the detectives immediately.

My name is Nishinosono Moe--

Shimada-san! What happened?

Yamane-san?

D... Deputy Director!

Deputy Director! Deputy Director!

Deputy Director! Deputy Director!

Watch your step.

Excuse me, but I'm from Delta Science Publishing.

Could you tell me how to get to the Magata Laboratory?

- Oh, are you doing an interview? - Yes.

But how should I say this... I hear the director has been murdered.

What? Murdered?

Are you sure?

This is just between you and me, but this morning I went to the laboratory--

Ouch!

Get on the boat.

Sorry.

Dr. Yuminaga.

I've told them everything, including what happened to Dr. Magata.

Now that Yamane-kun was also murdered, this isn't the time to hide the truth anymore.

Why was Yamane-san also killed?

Well, well, well, well.

You've gotten yourself involved in such a terrible case again, didn't you?

- Detective Ukai. - Well, Professor Saikawa.

I know! I know it, but...

since you happen to be at the crime scene so many times, we can't help but suspect you.

We'll get the helicopter ready right away, so you two should go home.

Oh, Professor Saikawa? What's the matter?

This is it!

Why are you looking at the time-related program?

Time?

- Mochizuki-san! - Yeah?

You said that the security camera system was isolated from Debora, didn't you?

Yeah.

- How about the clock for that system? - That's managed by Deborah.

And that's why every clock inside the laboratory is synchronized.

Professor Saikawa, what about the clock?

Deborah's clock was one minute late.

And it went back to the correct time after switching the OS.

Deborah's clock has been wrong all this time?

No, the culprit programmed to set back Debora's clock one minute

when Dr. Magata's corpse came out of the room.

For what reason?

In order to erase the video recording, which the culprit was captured in.

At that moment, every clock inside the lab was set back one minute.

The video recording data is sequentially stored over time.

But what will happen if the clock is set back one minute?

It will cause two video files with the same time stamp to exist in the system.

So the first video recording file out of two gets overwritten and erased.

The culprit came out of Dr. Magata's room during that one minute and went up on the roof by elevator.

And that's why there was no video recording with the culprit captured.

So it was exactly like what this little girl said before.

Certainly, the way the culprit came out of the room can be explained with this.

But only half of the proposition is proved so far.

How did the culprit go into that room, which has been kept under surveillance for the last 15 years?

The culprit was inside that room for sure.

Not her own free will.

The arms and legs were amputated.

A wedding dress.

Michiru.

Toy blocks.

A Trojan horse.

Version six of Deborah.

14 years old.

Seven is lonely.

Everything becomes 'F.'

That can't be... It's impossible!

There's no way she could have done such things!

You have no choice but to accept.

- This proposition has been proved. - This proposition has been proved.

Professor?

What's wrong, Professor Saikawa?

Are you okay, Professor Saikawa?

Yeah.

You solved it.

Please tell me.

There's no way anyone can go into that room.

What?

That will leave only one method.

It can't be...

No way!

I don't believe it!

If that is true... it's too sad.

Excuse me, but what's going on?

[Shimada-san? Or is Professor Saikawa there?]

It's Dr. Magata!

I thought she was dead!

[This is Saikawa. Were you watching us checking out Deborah's program?]

[Professor Saikawa. I'll be waiting for you in the meeting room.]

Where's the meeting room?

She means the meeting room in the virtual space, doesn't she?

[Saikawa Sohei] [Nishinosono Moe]

Please go ahead.

Dr. Magata Shiki...

Nishinosono-san, so we meet again.

And even better, with Professor Saikawa this time around.

Shall we get out of a tight space like this?

I just wanted to play outside like this.

You are--

I've found out all the methods you used.

And you had already considered that I was going to prove the proposition.

That's just like the Professor Saikawa I imagined.

I believe that you're going to tell me the truth. And that's why you showed up here.

Very well.

Since the game has been over anyway.

It was you who murdered three people.

Correct.

Why?

Because it's been already decided

since 15 years ago.

You're not Dr. Magata Shiki.

You are...

Dr. Magata Shiki's daughter, aren't you?

You were born in the basement of the laboratory.

And you've been living inside that room all this time.

But you killed your mother and escaped...

And you also killed your father.

I'm talking about Director Shindo.

In a way, you're absolutely right, Nishinosono-san.

In a way?

As you said, Magata Shiki got pregnant when she was 14 years old.

The father of the child was Shindo Seiji.

Magata Shiki shared the news with her parents.

Because she thought they would celebrate with her.

Shiki was in love with her uncle so much.

But her parents denounced her and hit her instead.

Can you imagine how surprised she was?

She had no idea such a rule existed, because no one ever told her.

It was her parents who were being unreasonable.

And that's why Dr. Magata Shiki murdered her parents?

No.

It was Shindo Seiji who killed the two of them.

Magata Shiki pulled out the knife first.

But she couldn't move anymore at that moment.

Shindo Seiji took Shiki's arm

and helped her stab Mr. and Mrs. Magata Sachiro.

Magata Shiki was just like a doll, watching what had happened.

I won't allow it...

I've done everything myself and you tried to stop me.

Understand?

Shiki...

Just... kill me now!

When this child I'm going to bear grows up

it'll kill me and you for sure.

I promise you that.

Someday, for sure.

Magata Shiki gave birth to her daughter in that room.

With the help of Shindo Seiji, who used to be a doctor.

And that was... you.

You're now 14 years old.

The same age as Dr. Magata Shiki when she killed her parents.

Magata Shiki trained her daughter to kill her parents like she did when she was 14 years old.

'When the time comes, kill your mother and leave the room. Then kill your father, Shindo Seiji, as well.'

That's how Magata Shiki trained her daughter over and over.

Why did she?

For her freedom?

Because that's the most beautifully written program.

Dr. Magata Shiki planted a timing device inside version four of Deborah.

It was designed from the beginning so that the system would go out of control when the time came.

Correct.

Magata Shiki herself was the Trojan horse.

But why did you also kill Yamane-san?

He was an excellent engineer.

And he happened to discover that Deborah's clock was one minute late.

It was a little too soon, so I had no choice.

You make it sound so simple.

Nishinosono-san, you are the same.

What?

We both lack emotion towards people's death.

That's why you pursue cases without fear, no matter how gruesome it is.

I'm just...

You're just shutting off your emotions blindly, aren't you?

In order to seal up the catastrophic memory of your parents' death.

Dr. Magata, let's speak in person.

Our time is up.

It was my pleasure meeting you, Professor Saikawa.

I promise I'll come to see you someday.

Professor Saikawa?

We're going to meet the culprit!

What?

It's Saikawa! Please open the door!

This is the guest room. Is Magata Miki the culprit?

This isn't the real Miki-san. The person inside this room is--

[Every door inside the laboratory is left open, so please feel free to conduct your search.]

What's going on?

Is your leg okay? Then we can go on.

Yes?

This is Saikawa. Where are you now?

We're at the port of Fujiura.

Was there someone else on the same boat besides you guys?

Yes, one person from the laboratory.

That person was... a beautiful woman, wasn't she?

Yes, she said that she's read Professor Saikawa's paper before.

I got it.

Professor Saikawa...

Professor Saikawa, where's Magata Miki?

Not on this island anymore.

She vanished at the port of Fujiura.

What?

She escaped by the boat before the police came to the laboratory.

Emergency deployment! Hurry up!

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

What a genius! She is indeed a genius!

We're no match for her. Not even close from the very beginning.

Professor Saikawa.

Was Miki-san really impersonating the daughter of Dr. Magata Shiki?

No.

She actually is...

Dr. Magata Shiki herself.

As Professor Saikawa said, the real Magata Miki was in the United States.

We spoke with her, so there's no mistake about it.

Professor Saikawa, who was the woman who fled from here?

That was Dr. Magata Shiki.

What?

But I thought she had been murdered.

That corpse with no arms and legs was the daughter of Dr. Magata Shiki and Director Shindo.

- A daughter? - Yes.

Then Dr. Magata killed her own daughter?

Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute! I can't make out what this is all about.

There's no record of Magata Shiki having a daughter.

Professor Saikawa, will you please explain thoroughly so that even we can understand?

Professor Saikawa.

This case started when the corpse with no arms and legs came out of that room.

That means there was another person other than the corpse in that room.

That's the biggest proposition of this case.

But there wasn't supposed to be anyone but Magata Shiki going into that room.

15 years ago, a girl was locked into the room.

Nobody has been inside ever since.

All parcels have been checked thoroughly and there's no secret passage.

But as long as the amputation of the corpse took place in the end

there had to be two people that existed inside the room.

Well, that's only logical.

Based on these conditions, there's only one scientifically reproducible answer here.

Which is... Dr. Magata gave birth inside that room.

I have no choice but to conclude so.

Wait a minute. How can we believe such a ridiculous story--

Although only slightly, there were a few pieces of evidence left in the room.

You saw a robot called Michiru.

Why do you think that robot, which can only lock and unlock doors, was created?

Probably in the case when the child resisted her mother and locked herself in the room.

Dr. Magata had that robot unlock the door after the child fell asleep.

And there were a few other items, which suggested the presence of a child.

But why did Magata Shiki kill her daughter?

Originally her daughter was supposed to kill Dr. Magata.

Then, why?

Because Dr. Magata's daughter was not a genius.

She couldn't understand her mother's ideology.

Are you saying, Dr. Magata murdered her own daughter and escaped outside instead?

Yeah, and the real reason for amputating the arms from the corpse was

to hide the hands with someone else's fingerprints.

What a terrifying woman!

This whole plan was already decided when Dr. Magata had developed Deborah.

She programmed it so that the yellow door wouldn't open when the time came.

And the lights were turned off, the noise sound got started, then the yellow door was opened.

The reason why she put the corpse on the P1 robot and sent it to the hallway was

to draw attention from the people in the front chamber and bring them out to the hallway.

Emergency reset!

And after the force reboot of Deborah, the clock was set back one minute

and the video recording of the security camera was set to be erased.

And during that one minute, Dr. Magata got on the elevator

and went up on the roof.

Once the helicopter had returned, Dr. Magata got on the rear seat

stabbed Director Shindo, and destroyed the radio transceiver.

Then Director Shindo was already stabbed by the time we got there?

But he didn't ask any of you for help, did he?

The director knew his daughter had been living in the basement.

He must have been controlled by Dr. Magata all this time.

I'm sure that he had been preparing his mind for this to happen someday.

Was it also Magata Shiki who murdered Deputy Director Yamane?

Yes. Impersonating as Miki-san

Dr. Magata was planning to escape the island by the 10 o'clock boat the next day.

And for that purpose, she had Director Shindo pre-arrange an interview.

But Yamane-san realized the possibility of the system having been programmed

so that Deborah's clock was set back one minute.

And that's why he decided to abandon Deborah.

In order to verify if the clock was really deviated.

But he was caught and killed by Dr. Magata.

At that time, pretending to be Yamane-san

Dr. Magata must have given an instruction to delay the execution time of switching the OS.

And that's why the system shutdown was late, wasn't it?

In order to prevent us from calling the police before the boat arrived.

And at the moment Deborah was shut down and all functions inside the laboratory stopped

Dr. Magata Shiki finally made it outside the laboratory.

She had succeeded in escaping from the prison on this solitary island.

When she was exposed to the sunlight after 15 years and breathed the scent of the ocean...

I wonder what came to her mind first?

But Professor Saikawa. The part where she had a daughter is a little--

That's enough, Ukai.

The rest is our job to do.

Good evening, Chief Nishinosono!

Uncle!

You had me worried, Moe.

I'm glad you're safe and sound.

Of course I'm fine. Professor Saikawa was with me all the time.

Professor Saikawa, it seems like Moe caused you trouble once again.

No, actually it was I who told her that I wanted to meet Dr. Magata Shiki--

More importantly, please tell us about the autopsy result.

Was that corpse really not Dr. Magata Shiki--

Enough is enough.

Your amateur detective game is over.

The helicopter is waiting on the roof.

Go now.

Yes.

Well, then.

Professor Saikawa.

Will you please talk to me about Magata Shiki?

But I'm an amateur.

True, but you understand Magata Shiki better than anyone else.

[10 days later]

Good afternoon, Professor Saikawa.

Dr. Magata Shiki.

Didn't I promise you that I would come to see you again?

You're not going to say anything?

I'm just hesitating.

Whether I should confirm my totally unfounded hypothesis with you or not.

Our time is limited.

I'd suggest you to hurry up if you wish to verify.

In your original plan, it was supposed to be you, killed by your daughter.

What made you change that?

The same as Deborah.

I rewrote the program and performed a version update on the system.

That's all.

In other words, a malfunction occurred in the previous system, didn't it?

Malfunction?

Yes.

An unexpected error occurred.

Because your daughter couldn't handle such a cruel plan anymore

she committed suicide, didn't she?

No, I killed her.

Certainly, there's no way to verify this hypothesis.

But I believe that you putting a wedding dress and even makeup on her at the end was

your farewell gift to your daughter.

Actually, being alive is rather abnormal in the first place.

Because, a program error God had created... is the human race, isn't it?

Dr. Magata.

Did you cry at the time?

No.

You don't think my mind would allow such a contradiction, do you?

That's too bad.

I'm deeply moved by your ability

but you're above my comprehension as a human being.

Really?

You have several characters of yourself.

The structure of yours is very similar to mine.

Also, regarding Nishinosono Moe-san.

She's a very interesting person.

Are you going to turn yourself in?

There's no need for that.

Then, I'll call the police.

That won't be necessary, either.

After this, I should be arrested by the police officers, who have been following you.

I've been followed by the police?

Yes.

And you came even though you knew.

I thought I might ask you to kiss me farewell.

But you wouldn't do such a thing.

No, I wouldn't.

But you would kiss Nishinosono-san?

Dr. Magata.

That's none of your business.

Oh? Did you know you had been followed by the police?

Well, I had just found out, to be exact.

But this morning they found out that Dr. Magata had accessed a computer in Nagoya.

So, all detectives should be in Nagoya today.

Then what about me being followed?

They're not here today.

And that's why my uncle said it was okay to see you.

Huh? What's got into you?

I suppose, a man cannot help laughing when he experiences complete defeat.

Whatever.

Oh, just remembered.

I've solved the problem!

Eh?

The meaning of 'everything becomes F.'

Oh, that.

F is... for 15.

Yeah.

The hexadecimal numbering system is used in the computer world

so the numbers from 10 to 15 are presented as A, B, C, D, E and F.

In this case, F is the greatest digit in hexadecimal notation, just like nine in decimal notation.

Deborah's time counter was programmed to set off the timing device

when it reached FFFF hours, the maximum value of four digits

and 65,535 hours in decimal notation, after the system was put in service.

In other words, that plan was executed when everything became F.

Yeah, version six of Deborah was completed but never put in service

so that she could preserve running that timing device.

But Professor Saikawa, I found another F.

Hmm?

Perhaps it was her daughter's birthday on that day.

Dr. Magata was going to give her daughter freedom as a birthday gift.

F as in Free.

'Everything becomes F,' including that.

I think that's what it was.

I see.

It's impossible to verify it at this point, but I'll favor that hypothesis as well.

Subtitles by DramaFever

They happened to discover a corpse with its head cut-off over there.

- Why do you think it was cut off? - The culprit probably wanted it.

Nishinosono-kun. Let's go together.

- Huh? - You're going to investigate this case, aren't you?

Long time no see!

I met Gido Setsuko-san.

I've solved the prob--

Wasn't the waiting room locked?

The corpse without the head and the culprit existed inside the same room.

That's the biggest proposition of this case.

Say hi to Sohei-kun for me, will you?
