NECRONOMICON 730 A.D. This is the path of an evil book...

written by Abdul Alhazard in Damascus.

This book is described as being very complicated and mysterious...

containing the secrets of magic...

But it is also known to carry the very essence of evil.

The greatest book ever on the path of evil.

It's considered the king of all books of magic.

Therefore in 1050 A.D.,

Archbishop Michael of Byzantine had the book condemned and sealed forever.

So we believe that the book does not exist, intact, anywhere in the world...

What's going on? What's happened?

Th... that dream again...

Oh no, brother... I mean chief, you still didn't change yet?

Since vacations are rare for us, we have to enjoy it as much as we can.

I don't think we'll ever have the opportunity again...

to stay in this kind of a resort condo.

I really appreciate your friend who gave us a free vacation at this place!

What's wrong, Chief?

You look pale.

It's nothing. I just had a bad dream.

That dream again? About 6 years ago, when you got involved with something...

that caused you to lose your memory.

You're almost right.

Almost right?

Hey!

You should go see...

a doctor.

Yes, this is Suzusaki.

Who is it?

It's Ms. Shizui.

I don't like dealing with her.

Hello? This is he.

What's wrong Satoshi? Your voice sounds gloomy.

No, it's nothing.

How is it?

Are you enjoying the accommodations I arranged for you and your daughter?

Mina, she's not my daughter anymore.

I ended the adoption when she turned 20 years old.

Oh, is that so?

That could be dangerous.

Dangerous?

Yes, because it means you guys aren't related to each other now.

It means you're just a man and a woman.

I thought by the way she looks at you, you were somehow...

What do you want?!

Are you angry? How cute!

I want you to pay me the same price for the information...

like you did the last time.

I'll be arriving there in the afternoon, the day after tomorrow.

I see.

Let's have a nice time together.

What were you talking about?

Work.

She said she'd come over here the day after tomorrow.

Work?

Aren't we here for a vacation?

Well, that's true...

Stop... stop it!

Let's go!

W... wait, Chief!

Hey! We were still talking!

Chief...

I wanted to ask you this for a long time.

What's going on between you and Ms. Shizui?

What's going on?

As I told you before, she's an excellent information broker.

I can say she's the best in the business.

No, I don't mean that.

Then what?

Well, about you and Ms. Shizui's...

private life.

Weren't you the one who said we should enjoy this vacation to the fullest?

I don't want to deal with that kind of question right now.

You're getting better, Asuka!

Chief, I got used to it.

Don't get carried away! Be careful!

Yes!

Nagano Prefecture Police

What happened?

What's going on?

What happened?

The Sato family in 40D committed suicide.

What a mess!

What?

A family suicide?

No, the manager who found them first said they were viciously killed.

Viciously? How?

I don't know. He was totally pale and he couldn't tell me the details.

Oh, no.

Asuka, go back to the room.

Chief! Chief!

Oh, well. He's always very curious.

Oh, excuse me.

Pardon me.

Hey!

Working hard?

Who are you?

This area is closed to the public.

Please excuse me. You're from the Central Office?

Well, what happened?

A murder.

But... the cause of death is very strange.

All four family members died after their eyeballs were gouged out.

Are you all right, Terada?

I'm sorry.

Who are you?!

Oh, he is from the Tokyo...

I'm just a guy from Tokyo.

See you...

What?!

You lied to me!

I didn't say anything.

Mr. Hotokeu...

Something stinks about him.

Eyeballs gouged out...

Damn!

Well, I'm sorry I'm late.

It took a while to dub the tape.

Why did you make me come here?

You have a great body I just love.

That's not funny!

I'm leaving.

Wait!

You won't want to leave after you see this.

Sit down!

Due to the approach of a low pressure system...

there's a chance that this bad weather will continue all day tomorrow.

As a result, since we are at the summit, our resort will likely be...

cut off from the town at the base of the mountain.

Those customers who wish to leave...

please come to the front lobby as soon as possible.

I'm leaving, even if he didn't tell us to go.

Yeah! I don't want to stay at a place like this one more second...

after that weird murder happened.

Who would want to?

So, how many people decided to stay?

It seems that six rooms stayed here including us.

Is that all?

Snow on the mountain comes together during a snowstorm.

The announcement said it was due to the snowstorm,

but the fact is that customers were scared by the weird murder.

The only people left here are people desperate for a vacation, like us...

or somebody with courage or...

...the murderer.

Huh?

I'm just joking.

If I was the murderer, I would've already left here much earlier.

That's right.

Well, I'm going to swim in the indoor heated pool for a little relaxation.

Hey Mr. Manager, this place suddenly became lonely.

But you're staying, too?

Yeah, I haven't taken a vacation for a long time.

If I lose this chance, I'll never know when I could get it again.

If the murder hadn't happened...

I heard you were the first one to find the murder.

You...

You don't have to be suspicious.

I have a private detective office in Tokyo.

I just have a professional curiosity.

You're a private detective?

I've never seen such a horrible thing in my life.

I already told this to the police...

At that time, I was bringing the dry cleaning that Sato ordered.

But nobody answered, no matter how many times I rang the doorbell.

So I gave up and was about to leave, when...

Mr. Sato, I brought your dry cleaning.

Mr. Sato.

What's that smell?

Mr. Sato?! Mr. Sato?!

I think I'll have nightmares for quite a while.

Come in!

You promise?

If I stay one night...

Yes, if you do what I say, I'll give you back the master tape.

Well, let's begin.

Here! Come over here and suck this.

What?

Or don't you mind if I put your foolish behavior on the internet?

Is this the first time for you?

Hey, why don't you lick this?

Well, you're not bad.

Do it more quickly!

More!

Don't spill it. Drink it all up!

What are you crying for?

The night has just started.

You're?

I'll return this tape to you, too.

This isn't fair!

No! Stop it! No!

What's next?

Why don't you show me your ass and pussy?

You can't!

Open it wider!

Oh, it's wet and shiny.

It's ready to invite a man!

Here we go!

No!

Stop it!

Good!

No! No! Please stop!

No!

And now our next story...

Around 12:00 noon today, a fire broke out at the...

M.M. Pharmaceuticals company in Yonago City, Tottori Prefecture...

Yukimitsu Miura, the Chief of the 3rd development division...

died in the fire.

The cause of the fire is still unknown.

Arson has not been ruled out.

Oh, no. A power failure?

Who can it be, this early?

Brother!

Chief!

This is no time to argue such things!

Detective, I need your help.

What happened?

A murder case.

What?

Don't look!

I have been giving him morning wake-up calls every day at 7:30 AM.

But he didn't pick up the phone this morning...

no matter how many times I called.

So I came here to wake him up.

Then, he was already dead...

This is the same as my dream.

What did you say?

Nothing, did you call the police?

The phone's been dead since the power failure last night.

The snowstorm may have knocked the cellular phone transmitter down.

Why don't you have this?

Thank you.

I feel better now.

What should I do about the body?

To maintain the crime scene, let's leave it as is for one more day.

If we can't contact the police by tomorrow, we'll put him on the bed.

Is this related to yesterday's murder?

By the looks of the way he was killed...

Was the power failure caused by the short circuit in the bath tub?

I think so.

What should we do now?

There's only one thing to do!

Nobody could've come in and out of this resort from last night...

until the morning, because of the snowstorm.

Therefore, the murderer is someone still staying at the resort.

Uh?

What's wrong, Asuka?

Oh, nothing.

Let's check all the people's alibis in this resort right now.

What?

What do you want?

I'm not a stranger.

I was asked by the manager of this resort...

to formally investigate yesterday's murder case.

I don't know anything.

I told everything to the police yesterday.

Are you trying to bother me?

There was another murder.

What?

11:30 PM was the time the power failed.

Yes, excuse me but...

I don't have an alibi.

I stayed in this room alone.

Alone at the resort when murder took place?

I have no place else to go.

I'm about to go bankrupt.

I just got fired because of company restructuring!

My wife and children left me!

The only real estate I have now, is this condo at the resort.

I wanted to sell it earlier...

but it's very difficult because of the recession!

Then the weird murders happened!

This will make the value go down again!

Shit!

Stupid fool!

What can I do about it?!

Damn it!

Coming.

What can I do for you?

Is something wrong?

Did we meet each other somewhere before?

Well, I don't remember...

Is there something I can do for you?

Oh, I'm sorry. Well...

So, you're a private detective? It sounds like an interesting job.

It's not interesting at all.

80% of my work is checking a person's private life for a divorce.

It's a very plain and gloomy job.

How about you, Mr. Nezu?

I own an import-export company.

It's just a small company with 10 employees.

Oh?

Please have some.

Thank you very much.

By the way, what were you doing between 11:00 and 12:00 last night?

Oh, my alibi?

Yes...

It's around the time of the power failure.

I was watching TV.

When the power failed, I was watching the news on TV...

about a fire at the M.M. Pharmaceuticals manufacturing company.

I see.

Thank you very much.

Oh, I see you collect antique books.

Oh, you noticed?

I collected these books when I went abroad on my business trips.

They must be very valuable.

They are.

For example...

This is a medical book from ancient Egypt.

Ancient Egypt?

This book describes the way to obtain eternal life.

Which means?

It's a technique to create a mummy.

A mummy?

I see, so there is no such thing as eternal life.

It's rather ominous...

Modern medical science is much more ominous.

Medical science and chemistry were both developed from medieval alchemy...

only in the past few hundred years.

Modern medical science is a worthless study with a shallow history.

Even using humans as guinea pigs.

It's no equal to the ancient knowledge of magic...

which has existed for thousands of years.

Have you ever heard of the Necronomicon?

No.

It's a banned book written by Abdul Alhazard in 730 AD.

The book describes the method to gain eternal life, like you just said.

Eternal life?

To be more precise, it's a way to bring the dead back to life.

It's quite different from making a mummy.

Is something wrong?

No, I just felt dizzy.

Are you all right?

Yes, I guess I stayed here too long.

I'm sorry to disturb you.

Take care.

Can I help you?

The manager said to me that two people are staying in this room.

Yes, Nozomi is still sleeping.

Is she your sister?

No, I'm her private tutor.

Nozomi's parents and I are very close.

Her parents went abroad to do some research...

so I'm taking care of Nozomi while they are away.

I see.

What were you doing around 11:30 PM last night?

Well, I was here with her.

Oh, Nozomi, I'm sorry. Did I wake you up?

What's the matter, Nozomi?

What's wrong?

Nozomi?

Nozomi!

It must be motion aphasia.

Aphasia?

I can't explain it clearly because I'm not a doctor...

but I've seen the same symptoms before.

But why?

This symptom comes out from a strong mental shock.

Mental shock?

Yes.

Did she see something unusual...

or experience anything abnormal yesterday?

No...

Not at all.

Then I suggest you see a doctor as soon as the snowstorm stops.

Yes.

Nozomi... don't worry.

This kind of symptom naturally cures itself sometimes.

I'm sorry to bother you.

Take care!

I smell something between them and Hiruta, but what?

Mina?

I finished my work a day earlier.

My room number is 50H.

Can you carry my luggage?

How did you get here in this snowstorm?

I got a ride on the police snowcat at the base of the mountain.

Police?

I heard that a murder happened here.

They first refused.

They said I shouldn't come up, because it's dangerous.

But since they were supposed to inspect the crime scene again...

I see.

Mina...

I have a favor to ask you.

Anything...

But it might cost you a lot.

The phones don't work because of the snowstorm.

But I want to get photographs of the crime scene from the police computer.

Can you do that?

I understand the situation, but why do you say "can you do that?".

I guess you can't.

Don't be stupid! That's not what I meant.

I'm a professional information collector.

So I'm telling you not to patronize me.

What is it?

Iridium.

This is a special model, but I think you've heard of it before.

The cellular phone you can transmit from anywhere on the Earth.

Which do you think performs better, yours or this?

It's ready!

The address of the National Police Agency is...

Here, I'm in.

This is...

Stop.

Can you zoom in?

Of course.

I thought so.

What?

What's wrong?

I can conclude that the murderer of both the Sato family and Hiruta...

is the same person.

The conditions of the dead bodies are completely the same.

No matter what the reason...

Normal people don't gouge out human eyeballs.

And the clue to the criminal is...

This!

This ice pick broke off when he gouged the eyeball...

because the nasal bone blocked it.

This is stabbed from the left.

Which means?

The criminal must be left-handed.

Did I help you?

Yes, it's still only a guess but I found a likely suspect.

Mina...

Can you call the manager's room five minutes from now...

and have the police come to 60D.

All right.

You should pay my price for this information, tonight.

Yeah.

I want to ask him something before the police take him.

I think I've met him somewhere before.

Mr. Nezu, are you here?

Mr. Nezu!

It can't be!

The most likely person is now dead.

Who will be the next suspect?

What now, Suzusaki?!

Teasing the police department!

What are you doing?!

What did you do?!

You're under arrest for murder!

I didn't do it.

I...

I didn't do it!!
