Launched to stardom by Jim Jarmusch’s Mystery Train (1989), enigmatic actor Masatoshi Nagase thrives as the hardboiled detective wannabe Maiku Hama in Kaizo Hayashi’s trilogy of the same name, encompassing The Most Terrible Time in My Life (1993), The Stairway to the Distant Past (1995) and The Trap (1996). Stomping through the bustling-and-hustling port city of Yokohama, Hama operates out of a run-down movie theatre and his office sees every kind of customer: from rich ladies looking for runaway pups to serial murderers who look suspiciously like himself… Equal parts American hardboiled detective pastiche, Seijun Suzuki-style Nikkatsu akushon send-up, and Masatoshi Nagase’s own new school comedic charmer, the Maiku Hama Trilogy is a cult phenomenon of 90s Japanese cinema, presented here from its new 4K restoration.
Closing out the trilogy is The Trap, in which Nagase stars in a memorable double role. When a string of young women in floral dresses are found dead, alarms are sounded throughout Yokohama about the possibility of a serial killer on the loose. But when all evidence points to Hama, he has to fight against the clock and former allies, putting his trust in a rookie cop and his trusted sidekick Hoshino. Will Hama escape the trap?

MISSING HOSTESS FOUND DEAD
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.500
Another murder in Kanagawa prefecture.
00:01:01.625 --> 00:01:04.166
This makes the third one.
00:01:04.291 --> 00:01:05.791
Another woman?
00:01:05.875 --> 00:01:07.416
Says she was 25.
00:01:07.541 --> 00:01:09.541
Oh, what a waste.
00:01:09.833 --> 00:01:15.750
Nothing good has happened
since Maiku got that award.
00:01:16.458 --> 00:01:19.750
Been busy since
the papers wrote him up, too.
00:01:19.875 --> 00:01:24.916
Yes, it truly is a sad state of affairs.
00:01:26.458 --> 00:01:30.125
Real slow day today...
00:01:45.083 --> 00:01:48.750
PRIVATE EYE SAVES CHILD
This is Private Investigator Maiku Hama.
00:01:49.750 --> 00:01:51.458
You're calling about the runaway?
00:01:52.291 --> 00:01:53.291
I found her.
00:01:56.125 --> 00:01:57.916
That's right.
00:01:58.041 --> 00:02:01.291
My motto is "speed and certainty."
00:02:02.166 --> 00:02:06.250
I've already sent you her address
together with the report.
00:02:06.333 --> 00:02:09.000
Yes. Good-bye.
00:02:11.291 --> 00:02:14.125
- I set up your fax machine.
- Thank you, Akane.
00:02:14.208 --> 00:02:17.041
Now you can fax Yuriko.
00:02:17.166 --> 00:02:19.875
That's not why I need it!
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.666
Work's been busy.
I need the fax for...
00:02:23.750 --> 00:02:25.416
All right, all right.
00:02:25.541 --> 00:02:27.541
You're meeting her today, aren't you?
00:02:27.625 --> 00:02:30.250
I think she'd appreciate a gift.
00:02:30.333 --> 00:02:32.916
A gift? How sappy.
00:02:33.041 --> 00:02:34.416
Just take it.
00:02:34.916 --> 00:02:36.583
You'll never win a woman's heart.
00:02:37.416 --> 00:02:39.083
A woman's heart?
00:02:39.666 --> 00:02:42.125
Give her the present, okay?
I'm off.
00:02:42.208 --> 00:02:44.375
All right, take care.
00:02:45.416 --> 00:02:46.875
A woman's heart?
00:02:48.583 --> 00:02:51.166
Hey, what do you mean by that?
00:02:56.250 --> 00:02:57.208
Come in.
00:03:12.375 --> 00:03:15.500
Are you looking for someone?
00:03:21.333 --> 00:03:26.125
I charge 200,000 yen
for a two week investigation.
00:03:26.916 --> 00:03:31.708
Expenses included.
Long distance travel costs extra.
00:03:34.875 --> 00:03:37.541
Now, can you give me a description.
00:03:50.833 --> 00:03:54.333
I want you to look for me.
00:04:24.458 --> 00:04:25.958
Asa!
00:04:26.541 --> 00:04:29.000
Here's the money I owe you, with interest.
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.291
How unlike you to pay back a loan.
00:04:34.416 --> 00:04:36.541
It's the right thing to do.
00:04:36.625 --> 00:04:38.083
Are you busy?
00:04:38.208 --> 00:04:41.541
- I've had to turn down jobs.
- You? Refuse work?
00:04:41.625 --> 00:04:45.250
You'd hunt down a dog for a buck.
00:04:47.291 --> 00:04:50.041
- You see a strange man go by?
- Strange man?
00:04:50.166 --> 00:04:53.625
No one came by, did they?
00:04:53.708 --> 00:04:55.375
Really?
00:04:56.208 --> 00:04:58.166
Well, I'm off then.
00:04:58.250 --> 00:04:59.291
So busy, so busy.
00:04:59.375 --> 00:05:02.458
Oh, look at this spotless car!
00:05:02.541 --> 00:05:04.875
- Good morning.
- Thanks again.
00:05:05.250 --> 00:05:07.041
Take this. Have a drink.
00:05:07.125 --> 00:05:08.166
Thanks!
00:05:08.291 --> 00:05:09.541
I'm off then.
00:05:09.625 --> 00:05:12.041
You take care of yourself now.
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.083
The name's Maiku Hama. My real name.
00:05:36.708 --> 00:05:41.041
Private detective
born and raised in Yokohama.
00:05:41.708 --> 00:05:44.916
The economy is bad,
but my business is booming.
00:05:46.166 --> 00:05:48.583
My sister Akane's been acing her studies
00:05:48.583 --> 00:05:51.000
and she got into a top-tier college.
00:05:57.166 --> 00:05:58.875
My personal life's great too.
00:05:59.666 --> 00:06:02.833
Hate to admit it, but I'm in love.
00:06:04.375 --> 00:06:07.666
Everything's coming up roses.
00:06:50.750 --> 00:06:55.083
The first victim was a 22-year-old nurse,
Rie Nakajima.
00:06:55.166 --> 00:06:58.916
The morning of May 4,
she went home after the night shift.
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:03.791
Later that night,
she went to a convenience store nearby.
00:07:04.083 --> 00:07:07.000
She went missing, and three days later...
00:07:14.208 --> 00:07:19.333
The second victim was
a 25-year-old office worker, Reiko Ozawa.
00:07:19.916 --> 00:07:25.041
On May 19 at 4:00 p.m.,
she went to visit her fiancé.
00:07:25.125 --> 00:07:26.416
Two days later...
00:07:38.166 --> 00:07:42.958
The third victim was a 23-year-old hostess
from Yokosuka,
00:07:43.041 --> 00:07:44.500
Shizuka Kaneko.
00:07:45.333 --> 00:07:47.583
On the evening of June 3,
00:07:47.708 --> 00:07:51.666
she disappeared on her way to work.
00:07:51.791 --> 00:07:53.250
Two days later...
00:08:06.958 --> 00:08:08.583
The cause of all three deaths:
00:08:08.666 --> 00:08:09.958
Poisoning.
00:08:10.083 --> 00:08:13.458
The victims choked,
suffering respiratory failure.
00:08:13.791 --> 00:08:15.916
The drug in question: ravonal.
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.875
The victims were injected with over 50 ml.
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:23.000
The bodies were moved later.
00:08:23.125 --> 00:08:28.958
The victims were all women
in their 20s from Kanagawa.
00:08:29.083 --> 00:08:31.333
They were beautiful with long hair.
00:08:31.791 --> 00:08:33.833
No fingerprints have been found.
00:08:36.166 --> 00:08:37.625
Listen up.
00:08:38.041 --> 00:08:43.375
This kind of criminal will not stop
until he is apprehended.
00:08:44.208 --> 00:08:48.791
Do everything in your power.
Our honour as a police force is at stake.
00:08:49.083 --> 00:08:50.541
That's all.
00:08:54.458 --> 00:08:57.791
- How long have you been a detective?
- Three years, sir.
00:08:57.875 --> 00:09:01.583
- Still green.
- Yes. I have a lot to learn.
00:09:01.708 --> 00:09:05.708
I don't plan on working
with anyone, kid.
00:09:05.833 --> 00:09:08.000
I can handle this myself.
00:09:08.083 --> 00:09:09.625
But, sir—
00:09:10.625 --> 00:09:15.750
I learned to work the hard way,
unlike preppies like you.
00:09:15.833 --> 00:09:17.625
Did you find out?
00:09:17.708 --> 00:09:19.083
Sure Maiku didn't catch on?
00:09:19.166 --> 00:09:22.083
'Course not.
I'm the best P.I. there is.
00:09:22.166 --> 00:09:24.666
Don't brag. Just tell us.
00:09:28.291 --> 00:09:31.166
Her name's Yuriko Yoshida.
00:09:31.250 --> 00:09:35.166
Born on June 1, 1968. She's 27.
00:09:35.250 --> 00:09:38.708
Works at the Yokohama post office.
00:09:38.791 --> 00:09:41.750
Volunteers at the Tsurumi Church.
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:45.541
She grew up in an orphanage.
00:09:46.750 --> 00:09:48.916
- She's Christian.
- Then it won't last.
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:53.000
- Maiku and the church don't mix.
- I know he beat up at least five priests.
00:09:53.125 --> 00:09:54.916
Anything else about her?
00:09:55.833 --> 00:09:59.000
Yes. She's extremely quiet.
00:09:59.375 --> 00:10:00.500
Quiet?
00:10:00.666 --> 00:10:02.625
YOKOHAMA POST OFFICE
00:10:16.708 --> 00:10:18.833
I wanna eat. You hungry?
00:10:21.958 --> 00:10:23.333
KOBE RESTAURANT
00:10:24.666 --> 00:10:27.500
I bought a fax machine.
00:10:29.291 --> 00:10:30.916
Here's the number.
00:10:31.500 --> 00:10:34.791
L-U-V-M-A-I-K-U.
Easy to remember, right?
00:10:36.250 --> 00:10:39.666
Let's eat. This is a great place.
00:10:40.250 --> 00:10:42.333
Today's my treat.
00:10:42.416 --> 00:10:45.291
I won at the races the other day.
00:10:45.833 --> 00:10:49.166
I've been lucky since meeting you.
00:10:51.291 --> 00:10:52.416
What's wrong?
00:10:55.833 --> 00:10:58.375
Horse racing? No good?
00:11:00.750 --> 00:11:02.916
How about boat racing?
00:11:04.083 --> 00:11:05.125
No?
00:11:06.541 --> 00:11:09.250
Auto racing? Mahjong?
00:11:09.375 --> 00:11:10.541
No?
00:11:12.291 --> 00:11:14.208
All gambling—
00:11:16.333 --> 00:11:17.916
Don't like it, huh?
00:11:19.291 --> 00:11:22.541
How about having lunch with you?
00:11:27.916 --> 00:11:32.166
Volunteering at the church again?
Can't you take the night off?
00:11:35.666 --> 00:11:37.208
I see.
00:11:40.208 --> 00:11:41.791
Oh, right.
00:11:52.958 --> 00:11:53.916
What?
00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:59.625
You're happy? Really?
00:12:01.291 --> 00:12:02.916
Great!
00:12:32.333 --> 00:12:35.000
See you tomorrow.
00:12:47.916 --> 00:12:51.375
Hey, give that cat back.
Come on. Let's do him in.
00:12:51.500 --> 00:12:52.916
Give it back!
00:13:02.041 --> 00:13:04.916
Let's get out of here!
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:06.916
Let's split!
00:14:06.916 --> 00:14:10.583
Mikki, go home.
Your sister's worried.
00:14:43.208 --> 00:14:47.375
Listen. I'm looking for a pervert.
00:14:47.791 --> 00:14:51.458
A guy who kills women with long hair
and dumps their bodies.
00:14:51.541 --> 00:14:54.250
That ain't us!
00:14:54.333 --> 00:14:58.583
If you hear anything, you tell me.
00:14:58.875 --> 00:15:01.875
Not some other cop.
00:15:02.166 --> 00:15:03.666
Got that?
00:15:04.625 --> 00:15:06.833
You scum.
00:15:13.250 --> 00:15:16.083
Detective Nakayama, may I ask something?
00:15:16.208 --> 00:15:17.583
What?
00:15:17.666 --> 00:15:21.708
Why did he make the bodies
so easy to find?
00:15:21.791 --> 00:15:25.875
He's trying to challenge us.
What else?
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:30.333
But why were they all wearing
the same kind of dress
00:15:30.458 --> 00:15:32.458
and wearing makeup?
00:15:32.541 --> 00:15:35.041
"Why," you ask?
00:15:35.166 --> 00:15:38.875
You think we're on some detective show?
00:15:39.291 --> 00:15:43.458
Only TV detectives
ask questions like that.
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:47.458
Don't you think about
the killer's psychological profile?
00:15:47.750 --> 00:15:48.875
No.
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:54.791
What's this smell?
00:15:55.375 --> 00:15:58.833
Some kind of perfume.
Don't know what kind.
00:15:59.333 --> 00:16:01.250
On all three victims?
00:16:01.833 --> 00:16:05.666
They women were all wearing
the same dress, make-up, and hat.
00:16:05.666 --> 00:16:07.333
Even the same perfume.
00:16:07.583 --> 00:16:09.416
Must be the murderer's taste.
00:16:09.541 --> 00:16:12.250
- What perfume is this?
- Don't know.
00:16:12.666 --> 00:16:16.250
We found traces of poison in the perfume
00:16:16.375 --> 00:16:19.041
on the dead women's clothing.
00:16:21.875 --> 00:16:24.375
Poison perfume.
00:16:36.500 --> 00:16:39.041
What are you doing?
Not yet!
00:16:39.166 --> 00:16:41.208
Sorry, I didn't understand.
00:16:41.333 --> 00:16:43.250
Shut up! No excuses.
00:16:48.666 --> 00:16:49.666
Mikki.
00:16:49.791 --> 00:16:52.875
Go back to your room.
00:17:03.458 --> 00:17:07.083
Idiot! I told you not to come in here.
00:17:07.708 --> 00:17:10.041
- Go watch the bath.
- I'm sorry.
00:17:10.166 --> 00:17:13.000
I'm very sorry.
00:17:13.666 --> 00:17:17.291
I'm really terribly sorry everyone.
00:17:17.708 --> 00:17:19.333
Don't worry about it, Mizuki.
00:17:21.541 --> 00:17:23.000
Mikki.
00:17:23.583 --> 00:17:27.166
You go and wait in your room.
00:17:34.125 --> 00:17:35.916
I'm really sorry.
00:17:39.250 --> 00:17:42.958
I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.
00:17:44.458 --> 00:17:46.750
Excuse me, Manager.
00:17:47.291 --> 00:17:49.291
Can I work overtime today?
00:17:50.041 --> 00:17:53.458
Again? You really ought to rest.
00:17:53.541 --> 00:17:56.250
But you've been so good to me and Mikki.
00:17:56.375 --> 00:17:58.041
I want to make up for it.
00:17:58.166 --> 00:18:02.083
You're always working hard.
I can't thank you enough.
00:18:17.708 --> 00:18:19.666
PAWN
00:19:37.916 --> 00:19:39.916
Do you like that girl?
00:19:46.083 --> 00:19:48.583
I'll ask Uncle.
00:19:51.833 --> 00:19:56.500
He'll do anything for us.
00:20:43.500 --> 00:20:45.000
Maiku.
00:20:45.708 --> 00:20:48.250
We're drinking till morning.
00:20:48.375 --> 00:20:50.083
No, I've got work to do.
00:20:50.166 --> 00:20:52.750
Work? Important work?
00:20:52.875 --> 00:20:55.791
Yes, I'm risking my life for it.
00:20:58.833 --> 00:21:03.375
Maiku, pick me up at the church
at 7:00 tonight. Yuriko.
00:21:03.500 --> 00:21:05.000
What's this?
00:21:08.541 --> 00:21:11.250
You said you were risking your life.
00:21:14.125 --> 00:21:18.916
Maiku, you cause her problems,
and you'll answer to me.
00:21:21.791 --> 00:21:26.583
While I've been busy drinking,
this country's gone to the dogs.
00:21:26.833 --> 00:21:30.625
Earthquakes, terrorists, serial killers.
00:21:31.083 --> 00:21:36.083
You've got to protect
the woman you love.
00:21:36.166 --> 00:21:38.166
Protect her with your life.
00:21:38.250 --> 00:21:40.291
I know all that.
00:21:40.875 --> 00:21:43.791
I'm so happy.
00:21:44.250 --> 00:21:46.750
Akane's going to college.
00:21:46.875 --> 00:21:49.208
You've done well.
I acknowledge that.
00:21:49.291 --> 00:21:52.333
Now it's your turn.
00:21:53.166 --> 00:21:55.125
Hey, I'm talking to you.
00:21:55.250 --> 00:21:57.541
- I'm late!
- Wait!
00:21:57.958 --> 00:21:59.458
Maiku, wait!
00:22:58.541 --> 00:22:59.500
Stop it!
00:23:00.583 --> 00:23:01.875
Bastard!
00:23:19.750 --> 00:23:21.208
Yuriko.
00:23:23.541 --> 00:23:24.500
You okay?
00:23:42.791 --> 00:23:44.333
He's the murderer.
00:23:45.291 --> 00:23:47.541
I'm busy right now.
00:23:47.666 --> 00:23:50.541
Fools call me up every day.
00:23:50.666 --> 00:23:54.458
"I saw the murderer."
"I was attacked."
00:23:54.541 --> 00:23:57.250
Some even tell me, "I did it."
00:23:57.666 --> 00:24:01.625
Any girl of yours must be pretty ugly.
00:24:01.750 --> 00:24:06.125
So it couldn't be him.
He's just some stupid jerk.
00:24:06.750 --> 00:24:09.708
Would some jerk
do something like this?
00:24:10.583 --> 00:24:12.708
That masked man is a client of yours.
00:24:13.958 --> 00:24:17.083
- I turned him down.
- I don't trust you.
00:24:17.208 --> 00:24:20.750
A hungry dog jumps at any bone.
00:24:20.833 --> 00:24:23.333
You wouldn't turn anyone down.
00:24:23.458 --> 00:24:25.208
And you call yourself a cop?
00:24:25.333 --> 00:24:27.583
Watch your mouth.
00:24:28.833 --> 00:24:31.666
I'll tell them you're the murderer.
00:24:31.750 --> 00:24:33.208
Get lost, punk.
00:24:33.291 --> 00:24:36.500
You're interfering with my investigation.
00:24:38.541 --> 00:24:41.125
- Good for nothing!
- Excuse me.
00:24:41.833 --> 00:24:43.833
I'll look into it.
00:24:47.583 --> 00:24:52.791
If you need anything, call me.
My name is Kozu.
00:25:31.500 --> 00:25:33.708
Please forgive Uncle.
00:25:47.750 --> 00:25:49.541
Sorry about that.
00:25:57.333 --> 00:25:58.916
How's Mikki?
00:26:02.166 --> 00:26:05.000
You two getting along all right?
00:26:13.333 --> 00:26:15.708
Not as well as you and I.
00:26:15.833 --> 00:26:17.291
Really?
00:26:19.416 --> 00:26:25.041
Sorry to make you
do the dirty work.
00:26:26.416 --> 00:26:31.000
Don't worry about it.
I just want you to be happy.
00:26:36.166 --> 00:26:37.791
He insists that...
00:26:39.083 --> 00:26:40.875
he really wants that woman.
00:26:44.333 --> 00:26:46.333
It's a problem.
00:26:47.583 --> 00:26:51.000
Have to get rid of that nuisance first.
00:26:52.583 --> 00:26:54.125
What shall we do?
00:26:58.500 --> 00:27:00.458
Use this.
00:27:16.333 --> 00:27:20.541
PRIVATE EYE SAVES CHILD
FROM BURNING HOUSE
00:27:20.666 --> 00:27:23.041
This is the guy who's in our way.
00:27:30.125 --> 00:27:31.791
This is from Uncle.
00:28:42.291 --> 00:28:46.083
We identified the poison in the syringe.
00:28:46.166 --> 00:28:48.791
Ravonal diluted with water.
00:28:48.875 --> 00:28:50.416
Ravonal.
00:28:50.791 --> 00:28:55.916
It's a sedative, but diluted,
it becomes a sleeping potion.
00:28:56.625 --> 00:28:59.041
- Any fingerprints?
- Only one set.
00:28:59.166 --> 00:29:01.500
Strange. There should be two.
00:29:01.583 --> 00:29:04.833
The criminal's and
the private detective's.
00:29:04.916 --> 00:29:07.541
There was only one set.
00:29:11.875 --> 00:29:14.833
So, I have to postpone.
00:29:18.333 --> 00:29:19.958
I'm sorry.
00:29:52.208 --> 00:29:55.958
THE RETURN OF HAPPINESS
00:30:37.541 --> 00:30:39.000
Yuriko.
00:30:40.666 --> 00:30:43.458
Did you send this?
00:30:51.791 --> 00:30:54.541
You wanna say that you're okay, right?
00:31:00.291 --> 00:31:01.958
From tomorrow...
00:31:02.291 --> 00:31:03.958
go back...
00:31:04.208 --> 00:31:06.083
to your...
00:31:07.791 --> 00:31:09.458
work.
00:31:11.375 --> 00:31:14.541
I want to protect you.
That's all.
00:31:14.666 --> 00:31:16.375
Good night.
00:32:29.333 --> 00:32:32.708
- Hey, wait up.
- Come and get me.
00:32:41.750 --> 00:32:44.458
Where are you?
00:32:46.125 --> 00:32:49.041
Let's do it now. Where are you?
00:32:55.250 --> 00:32:57.333
Ayumi!
00:32:58.375 --> 00:33:00.166
Where did you go?
00:33:19.500 --> 00:33:20.625
May I?
00:33:25.708 --> 00:33:28.625
What does Nakayama's man want
at this time of night?
00:33:28.750 --> 00:33:30.791
I've been looking for you.
00:33:31.583 --> 00:33:34.708
I want to ask you something
about that incident.
00:33:37.083 --> 00:33:41.750
You said you grabbed his hand
as he attacked your girlfriend.
00:33:43.125 --> 00:33:44.583
Yeah.
00:33:45.125 --> 00:33:47.541
His hand was really cold.
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:50.833
Was he bare-handed?
00:33:52.708 --> 00:33:53.916
Yes.
00:33:55.708 --> 00:33:56.916
I see.
00:33:59.791 --> 00:34:01.416
What is it?
00:34:02.125 --> 00:34:03.583
Nothing.
00:34:08.541 --> 00:34:10.166
"The Return of Happiness"
00:34:10.166 --> 00:34:13.250
The lily of the valley
in the langue des fleurs.
00:34:13.250 --> 00:34:15.166
Lily of the valley?
00:34:15.291 --> 00:34:20.916
Also referred to as, "Maria's Tears"
and "Stairway to Heaven."
00:34:22.041 --> 00:34:24.750
For a cop, you know some strange things.
00:34:25.500 --> 00:34:28.291
Is it strange for a cop
to know the language of flowers?
00:34:29.625 --> 00:34:31.083
Mr. Hama.
00:34:31.666 --> 00:34:34.208
Is it interesting, being a private eye?
00:34:35.458 --> 00:34:37.208
Yeah, it's interesting.
00:34:38.125 --> 00:34:40.208
How about being a cop?
00:34:45.791 --> 00:34:46.916
Want a swig?
00:35:01.083 --> 00:35:03.041
You always carry this around?
00:35:05.708 --> 00:35:09.833
I can't get through the day
without it.
00:35:13.083 --> 00:35:16.125
Take this. I'll call you.
00:35:25.541 --> 00:35:28.833
Put it on carefully.
00:35:55.458 --> 00:35:57.250
Don't kill me.
00:35:58.291 --> 00:36:01.375
Do as I say, and you'll live.
00:36:02.541 --> 00:36:05.000
Now, stand up.
00:36:07.916 --> 00:36:09.541
Get up.
00:36:25.125 --> 00:36:27.291
Walk over there...
00:36:27.666 --> 00:36:30.041
and embrace him.
00:36:55.916 --> 00:36:57.500
Go now.
00:37:43.500 --> 00:37:46.125
Now say this.
00:37:47.166 --> 00:37:48.666
"Sorry, little boy.
00:37:49.458 --> 00:37:51.875
You must have been lonely."
00:38:02.416 --> 00:38:04.000
Sorry...
00:38:05.625 --> 00:38:06.958
little boy.
00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:11.708
You must have been lonely.
00:38:13.375 --> 00:38:16.000
"Mama's not going away.
00:38:17.083 --> 00:38:20.125
Mama's going to stay
with her little boy."
00:38:22.250 --> 00:38:23.791
Mama's...
00:38:27.750 --> 00:38:30.000
not going away.
00:38:32.416 --> 00:38:37.666
Mama's going to stay with her little boy.
00:38:39.458 --> 00:38:40.958
Go on.
00:38:42.666 --> 00:38:44.458
Go on.
00:38:45.791 --> 00:38:49.208
Sorry, little boy.
00:38:52.708 --> 00:38:54.291
You must have...
00:38:55.083 --> 00:38:58.666
You must have been lonely.
00:39:02.083 --> 00:39:06.916
Mama's not going away.
00:39:10.250 --> 00:39:16.208
Mama's going to stay with her little boy.
00:39:18.125 --> 00:39:22.666
Let me go! Let me go!
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:31.916
Is she your mother?
00:41:10.791 --> 00:41:13.333
We have a suspect.
00:41:15.291 --> 00:41:16.750
Detective Nakayama,
00:41:16.875 --> 00:41:20.875
it's someone you sent away
to reform school.
00:41:21.166 --> 00:41:24.083
That punk will do anything for money.
00:41:24.416 --> 00:41:28.083
Now that you mention it,
he's been acting strange lately.
00:41:28.166 --> 00:41:29.875
Get an arrest warrant.
00:41:29.958 --> 00:41:32.541
We'll follow Detective Nakayama's lead.
00:41:32.666 --> 00:41:33.583
Get to work!
00:41:36.375 --> 00:41:38.416
- Detective Nakayama.
- What?
00:41:38.500 --> 00:41:40.000
A word with you.
00:41:41.875 --> 00:41:43.333
What is it?
00:41:43.416 --> 00:41:47.166
I was with Maiku
at the time of the murder.
00:41:47.250 --> 00:41:49.166
You met Maiku Hama?
00:41:49.250 --> 00:41:51.875
I had some questions
about the incident.
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:53.541
Got any witnesses?
00:41:53.666 --> 00:41:55.583
It was just the two of us.
00:41:55.708 --> 00:41:58.000
Good. Don't tell anyone.
00:41:58.125 --> 00:41:59.708
But—
00:41:59.791 --> 00:42:03.250
Maiku is using you for an alibi.
00:42:03.875 --> 00:42:07.208
It won't stand up to questioning.
00:42:07.500 --> 00:42:11.333
A fingerprint is one of a kind.
That's a standard of investigation.
00:42:23.666 --> 00:42:25.541
A fourth victim was found.
00:42:25.541 --> 00:42:27.958
There were fingerprints
on her possessions.
00:42:27.958 --> 00:42:29.333
They're yours.
00:42:29.416 --> 00:42:30.750
What?
00:42:30.875 --> 00:42:34.583
Your prints were on the syringe, too.
00:42:34.666 --> 00:42:36.291
What about that guy's prints?
00:42:36.416 --> 00:42:38.375
Only yours.
00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:42.625
There's another you on the loose.
That is, if you aren't the murderer.
00:42:42.750 --> 00:42:43.875
I didn't do it!
00:42:44.000 --> 00:42:47.750
I know, but fingerprints don't lie.
00:42:47.875 --> 00:42:49.375
Anyway, you need to run.
00:42:49.500 --> 00:42:52.791
Nakayama's coming to your office
with an arrest warrant.
00:42:54.791 --> 00:42:58.750
Why are you telling me this?
00:43:00.416 --> 00:43:05.083
I was with you at the time of the murder.
00:43:05.166 --> 00:43:07.625
I want to find the real murderer.
00:43:07.708 --> 00:43:11.291
Keep your cell phone on.
I'll call you later.
00:43:23.416 --> 00:43:27.666
Wait, wait.
You have to buy a ticket.
00:43:36.083 --> 00:43:38.041
Search the whole theater.
00:43:39.666 --> 00:43:41.791
Where did he go?
00:43:41.916 --> 00:43:45.208
Put his sister and his girlfriend
on 24-hour watch.
00:43:45.291 --> 00:43:47.875
Tap his phone.
On my authority!
00:43:49.375 --> 00:43:53.958
The suspect's car was found
in front of the church.
00:43:54.083 --> 00:43:55.625
Another unit is on its way.
00:43:55.750 --> 00:43:59.875
The church?
Let's head there now.
00:44:01.791 --> 00:44:04.208
MARIA'S TEARS.
00:44:19.250 --> 00:44:21.666
I'm leaving, but don't worry.
00:44:21.750 --> 00:44:23.583
Trust me.
00:44:24.166 --> 00:44:28.166
Just keep telling them
that you don't know me. Maiku.
00:44:29.708 --> 00:44:31.958
Burn this letter at once.
00:44:36.416 --> 00:44:39.875
You only call me when you're in trouble.
00:44:40.666 --> 00:44:44.875
Damn it! Why my fingerprints?
00:44:45.958 --> 00:44:48.958
You mean, you really didn't do it?
00:44:50.458 --> 00:44:51.833
No way in hell!
00:44:52.583 --> 00:44:54.041
But the fingerprints.
00:44:54.791 --> 00:44:57.208
No one will believe you.
00:45:05.958 --> 00:45:09.083
- Did she say anything?
- Seems she can't speak.
00:45:10.583 --> 00:45:12.500
I'll talk to her.
00:45:14.083 --> 00:45:18.083
He escaped. Don't worry.
00:45:18.208 --> 00:45:22.750
Who are you? He didn't do it.
00:45:22.833 --> 00:45:24.625
Speak slower.
00:45:25.500 --> 00:45:27.000
Who are you?
00:45:27.625 --> 00:45:31.375
His friend. He was framed.
00:45:31.500 --> 00:45:33.833
Framed? By who?
00:45:34.500 --> 00:45:36.250
What's she saying?
00:45:37.041 --> 00:45:39.458
I asked where he was.
She doesn't know.
00:45:39.541 --> 00:45:44.958
He's been pretty persistent,
but they're not even lovers.
00:45:45.083 --> 00:45:48.541
Course not.
Who could ever fall for Maiku?
00:45:48.625 --> 00:45:51.666
I can see she doesn't know much.
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:55.583
I'll leave her to you.
Keep questioning.
00:45:55.666 --> 00:45:57.666
I'll keep looking for him.
00:46:02.166 --> 00:46:08.083
Know anything about
"Return of Happiness" or "Maria's Tears"?
00:46:09.041 --> 00:46:10.541
No.
00:46:13.833 --> 00:46:16.500
You know this smell?
00:46:17.458 --> 00:46:19.416
This perfume?
00:46:24.416 --> 00:46:25.916
Where did you get this?
00:46:26.791 --> 00:46:29.583
I got it from Maiku.
00:46:31.333 --> 00:46:34.333
PRIVATE EYE DISAPPEARS
00:46:47.791 --> 00:46:50.458
- Brother!
- Maiku?
00:46:58.958 --> 00:47:02.208
Maiku, listen carefully.
00:47:02.458 --> 00:47:05.375
Akane's admission to college was rejected.
00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:11.583
Don't worry about it.
Who cares about that college anyway?
00:47:11.666 --> 00:47:14.000
I'll pass the test
for a better university.
00:47:15.291 --> 00:47:16.250
Akane.
00:47:16.375 --> 00:47:19.041
Which school rejected you?
I'll burn it down.
00:47:19.166 --> 00:47:23.083
What does him being a serial killer
have to do with you?
00:47:23.750 --> 00:47:25.750
I'm not a killer!
00:47:26.375 --> 00:47:28.041
Your phone's ringing.
00:47:34.916 --> 00:47:38.000
Detective Kozu is asking
where you got the perfume.
00:47:38.708 --> 00:47:39.833
The perfume?
00:47:40.625 --> 00:47:42.541
This perfume?
00:47:42.666 --> 00:47:45.625
A young woman bought out the whole stock.
00:47:46.166 --> 00:47:50.333
They stopped making it 10 years ago.
00:47:50.416 --> 00:47:54.708
It's made from lily of the valley
which is said to be poisonous.
00:47:55.458 --> 00:47:57.916
What was the woman like?
00:47:58.000 --> 00:47:59.750
Nice young woman.
00:48:00.291 --> 00:48:03.625
She said she worked in a factory
near Tsurumi.
00:48:09.583 --> 00:48:11.666
Excuse me.
Can I ask you something?
00:48:11.791 --> 00:48:15.166
Do you recognize this smell?
00:48:16.250 --> 00:48:20.083
None of the women here
wear stuff like that.
00:48:21.250 --> 00:48:24.291
Actually, it smells familiar.
00:48:29.875 --> 00:48:33.000
Mizuki used to wear this.
00:48:36.583 --> 00:48:38.625
Something you want?
00:48:38.750 --> 00:48:41.083
Yes, I have some questions.
00:48:41.166 --> 00:48:42.875
It's about this perfume.
00:48:47.666 --> 00:48:49.625
Ah, yes...
00:48:49.875 --> 00:48:54.000
I bought this perfume
two months ago in Yokohama.
00:48:54.083 --> 00:48:56.500
It's a nostalgic scent for me.
00:48:56.583 --> 00:49:02.333
I certainly can't wear it around here,
so I gave away all my bottles.
00:49:03.125 --> 00:49:07.500
I'd been regretting that
I didn't save one for myself.
00:49:08.666 --> 00:49:13.458
My mother used to wear it.
She's since passed away.
00:49:15.875 --> 00:49:17.750
Did something happen
with this perfume?
00:49:18.166 --> 00:49:21.208
So, you don't have any bottles?
00:49:21.708 --> 00:49:22.458
None.
00:49:32.916 --> 00:49:36.375
I've done all I can on my own.
00:49:38.333 --> 00:49:41.000
Perfume, a serial murder,
00:49:41.666 --> 00:49:45.041
and the langue des fleurs
of lily of the valley.
00:49:46.125 --> 00:49:47.750
What will you do?
00:49:50.583 --> 00:49:53.791
I'm going to find the actual criminal.
00:49:53.875 --> 00:49:56.000
How will you do that?
00:49:56.958 --> 00:50:00.416
A private eye has
his own way of working, kid.
00:50:04.208 --> 00:50:08.041
The police have decided that it's you.
00:50:08.458 --> 00:50:12.375
If I don't go after you, it will look bad.
Please be careful.
00:50:13.750 --> 00:50:15.291
About Yuriko—
00:50:21.041 --> 00:50:22.500
Please take care of her.
00:50:23.250 --> 00:50:26.541
She's under 24-hour surveillance.
She's rather safe.
00:50:55.458 --> 00:51:01.375
Since the police have already
decided that Maiku is the murderer,
00:51:02.666 --> 00:51:05.666
this is a challenge for all private eyes.
00:51:06.708 --> 00:51:10.416
We're going to find the real murderer...
00:51:11.833 --> 00:51:13.583
and save Maiku.
00:51:28.958 --> 00:51:31.000
Let the investigation begin.
00:51:33.916 --> 00:51:37.333
You've got to leave it to us.
00:51:43.666 --> 00:51:47.041
Maiku? A murderer?
I don't believe it.
00:51:47.125 --> 00:51:50.375
So you're all very surprised.
00:51:50.458 --> 00:51:54.458
He was well-known in his youth
as a delinquent.
00:51:54.583 --> 00:51:56.416
He was really wild.
00:51:56.541 --> 00:51:58.791
Called him Rabid Maiku.
00:51:59.916 --> 00:52:02.291
As in rabies?
00:52:02.791 --> 00:52:04.041
Idiots!
00:52:04.125 --> 00:52:07.916
Maiku would never do such things!
00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:11.083
P.I. BOOK
I'm reporting on the perfume.
00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:14.166
The perfume is known as "Valley Lily."
00:52:14.250 --> 00:52:16.833
Made from lily of the valley.
00:52:16.958 --> 00:52:22.416
It has poisonous extracts
which were detected in the perfume.
00:52:23.333 --> 00:52:26.708
I'm reporting on the factory woman.
00:52:27.166 --> 00:52:29.625
Mizuki Yamaguchi, around 30.
00:52:30.500 --> 00:52:31.916
Last year, she started working
00:52:32.083 --> 00:52:33.916
at Tsurumi Rubber Factory.
00:52:34.041 --> 00:52:37.625
She's cheerful and well-liked there.
00:52:38.625 --> 00:52:43.708
In the end of April,
she said she was going to her uncle's
00:52:43.833 --> 00:52:46.041
but went to a psychiatric hospital.
00:52:46.166 --> 00:52:50.791
She saw a certain Dr. Saburo Tachibana.
00:52:51.458 --> 00:52:53.166
They're longtime acquaintances.
00:52:53.791 --> 00:52:55.583
Could he be the murderer?
00:52:56.083 --> 00:52:58.375
He killed himself on May 1.
00:52:58.500 --> 00:53:01.625
He injected himself with
a fatal dose of Isomytal.
00:53:01.750 --> 00:53:04.166
Unusual way to commit suicide.
00:53:04.250 --> 00:53:07.583
Foul play was suspected
but they found a note.
00:53:08.458 --> 00:53:10.541
The police concluded it was a suicide.
00:53:11.125 --> 00:53:13.250
What did the note say?
00:53:13.833 --> 00:53:17.416
"Trying to save people is a trap.
00:53:17.916 --> 00:53:22.791
I'm killing myself
to get free from this trap."
00:53:24.416 --> 00:53:26.500
He ran a third-rate clinic,
00:53:26.500 --> 00:53:30.041
but he graduated
from a good medical school.
00:53:30.416 --> 00:53:35.375
He initially tried to help
children with mental illnesses.
00:53:35.500 --> 00:53:39.166
He married Kimiko Sumida
00:53:39.291 --> 00:53:41.416
and founded the Tachibana Care Center.
00:53:41.541 --> 00:53:47.000
Among the children were two kids
who were left there at the same time.
00:53:47.125 --> 00:53:51.083
After those kids arrived,
bad luck befell the care center.
00:53:51.166 --> 00:53:55.791
First, his wife Kimiko was paralyzed in
a traffic accident and hospitalized.
00:53:55.791 --> 00:54:00.000
Then he was arrested
for child molestation.
00:54:00.125 --> 00:54:03.083
Kimiko is still in the hospital.
00:54:04.583 --> 00:54:10.250
I think she is the key to this riddle.
00:54:15.916 --> 00:54:18.041
I need to see Kimiko Sumida.
00:54:18.666 --> 00:54:21.833
No. Leave it to me.
00:54:22.541 --> 00:54:24.000
You keep on hiding.
00:54:24.125 --> 00:54:25.541
Let me go!
00:54:28.708 --> 00:54:30.875
I want to investigate it myself.
00:54:38.958 --> 00:54:40.583
All right.
00:54:41.375 --> 00:54:43.416
Go on then.
00:54:44.125 --> 00:54:49.083
If you get caught, the game's over.
00:54:49.625 --> 00:54:52.125
Cops win. Remember that.
00:54:55.333 --> 00:54:56.958
I understand.
00:54:59.208 --> 00:55:00.333
Let's go, Hoshino.
00:55:01.875 --> 00:55:04.125
Why am I getting dragged into this?
00:55:04.125 --> 00:55:06.458
You're the most
dangerous man in Japan.
00:55:07.333 --> 00:55:09.541
Why is it always like this?
00:55:12.958 --> 00:55:14.083
This'll cost you.
00:55:23.125 --> 00:55:24.625
Maiku.
00:55:51.958 --> 00:55:53.250
What's your plan?
00:55:57.041 --> 00:55:58.708
I'm going to walk right in.
00:56:00.708 --> 00:56:04.416
You know where her room is?
00:56:05.500 --> 00:56:07.291
Hello.
00:56:21.500 --> 00:56:23.958
KIMIKO SUMIDA
00:56:33.666 --> 00:56:37.416
Dr. Tachibana.
00:56:38.708 --> 00:56:43.375
How do you know that name?
00:56:44.916 --> 00:56:48.333
I used to be your patient.
00:56:48.750 --> 00:56:50.541
Back then?
00:56:51.083 --> 00:56:53.375
At the Tachibana Care Center.
00:57:01.458 --> 00:57:06.625
I really don't think too much
about those days anymore.
00:57:08.500 --> 00:57:11.791
Does the name
Mizuki Yamaguchi ring a bell?
00:57:13.708 --> 00:57:15.333
Mizuki?
00:57:17.541 --> 00:57:21.500
That's a name I can never forget.
00:57:22.416 --> 00:57:24.458
She's a demon.
00:57:26.958 --> 00:57:29.208
Are you caught in her trap too?
00:57:30.958 --> 00:57:35.416
Could you tell me
a little bit more about her?
00:57:38.333 --> 00:57:40.125
She is a girl...
00:57:42.750 --> 00:57:45.625
who has very, very cold hands.
00:57:47.625 --> 00:57:50.041
Because of her schizophrenia,
00:57:51.833 --> 00:57:55.500
she has two personalities.
00:57:56.416 --> 00:58:01.625
That poor girl,
we really wanted to help her.
00:58:02.000 --> 00:58:04.083
We worked so hard.
00:58:08.333 --> 00:58:14.083
Around the same time,
a little boy was left with us.
00:58:15.416 --> 00:58:17.541
He had a name,
00:58:18.166 --> 00:58:22.208
but we all called him Mikki.
00:58:23.500 --> 00:58:25.625
He was an orphan
00:58:26.791 --> 00:58:31.375
with serious non-congenital brain damage.
00:58:33.083 --> 00:58:37.458
Mizuki decided that he was her brother.
00:58:38.083 --> 00:58:40.416
She really took care of him.
00:58:42.791 --> 00:58:44.541
That's when it started.
00:58:44.916 --> 00:58:50.833
She caused countless incidents,
all sorts of trouble.
00:58:52.833 --> 00:58:55.833
One of our patients even died.
00:58:57.208 --> 00:59:01.250
He fought with her,
and she killed him with a knife.
00:59:04.750 --> 00:59:10.666
She took such pleasure
in the misfortunes of other people.
00:59:14.333 --> 00:59:16.041
One day,
00:59:16.333 --> 00:59:22.125
she asked me to take her for a walk.
00:59:23.666 --> 00:59:25.875
Mikki came along too.
00:59:27.583 --> 00:59:30.166
We came to a busy street.
00:59:31.208 --> 00:59:34.208
She suddenly started to cross it.
00:59:34.916 --> 00:59:37.750
I got worried and started after her.
00:59:39.750 --> 00:59:43.541
I stopped, relieved,
00:59:45.250 --> 00:59:49.625
when I saw that she'd gotten
safely across the street.
00:59:50.208 --> 00:59:55.166
But then someone pushed me from behind.
00:59:56.833 --> 00:59:58.500
Who pushed you?
01:00:00.375 --> 01:00:02.000
I don't know.
01:00:06.208 --> 01:00:11.666
But when they saw me
get hit by that truck,
01:00:13.041 --> 01:00:18.166
the two of them stood there and laughed.
01:00:30.791 --> 01:00:33.666
My husband didn't believe me.
01:00:34.166 --> 01:00:40.125
He tried even harder
to help those two children.
01:00:41.833 --> 01:00:44.208
Why was your husband arrested?
01:00:45.666 --> 01:00:48.708
Mizuki reported him to the police.
01:00:50.541 --> 01:00:53.125
She said he'd molested her.
01:01:01.625 --> 01:01:05.125
Do you think people
can save other people's souls?
01:01:10.708 --> 01:01:14.041
We don't even know
what's in our own hearts.
01:01:15.333 --> 01:01:19.375
How can we know what is in theirs?
01:01:23.208 --> 01:01:24.916
What about Mikki?
01:01:25.833 --> 01:01:31.791
He was probably the sane one of those two.
01:01:34.500 --> 01:01:40.333
He kept looking for the mother
who'd abandoned him.
01:01:41.958 --> 01:01:47.458
But that mother
was just a figment of his imagination.
01:01:48.375 --> 01:01:53.458
After all, he'd been just two weeks old.
01:01:54.375 --> 01:01:58.916
There's no way he could have
remembered her.
01:01:59.041 --> 01:02:02.458
Do lilies mean anything to you?
01:02:03.291 --> 01:02:04.958
Lily of the valley?
01:04:14.416 --> 01:04:17.500
Yuriko, don't turn your head.
01:04:18.541 --> 01:04:23.041
Don't worry.
We know Maiku's okay.
01:04:43.416 --> 01:04:45.375
I WANT TO HEAR HIS VOICE
01:04:45.500 --> 01:04:46.458
I understand.
01:05:05.708 --> 01:05:07.541
Yuriko, is that you?
01:05:13.333 --> 01:05:15.750
I've found more pieces to the puzzle.
01:05:16.958 --> 01:05:19.000
Soon, I'll see the big picture.
01:05:21.416 --> 01:05:23.333
We'll be able to see each other.
01:05:28.500 --> 01:05:31.500
Are you near the church?
01:05:33.916 --> 01:05:36.000
I heard the cops are keeping watch.
01:05:39.250 --> 01:05:42.458
Sorry about all this.
01:05:46.833 --> 01:05:51.416
We can't talk till it's over.
01:05:53.125 --> 01:05:54.083
Okay?
01:06:19.416 --> 01:06:23.333
You'll find the serial murderer
at this location.
01:06:24.291 --> 01:06:26.416
The number is—
01:06:26.500 --> 01:06:28.458
Who is this?
01:06:48.625 --> 01:06:51.125
I told you not to call.
01:06:53.583 --> 01:06:55.291
Yuriko.
01:06:56.833 --> 01:06:57.916
Yuriko?
01:06:58.041 --> 01:07:01.791
Maiku, the jig is up.
01:07:07.916 --> 01:07:09.458
Hoshino!
01:07:10.958 --> 01:07:15.583
Police Helicopter calling Headquarters.
01:07:15.666 --> 01:07:18.458
Presently above Sector P,
heading to Sector V.
01:07:18.541 --> 01:07:22.875
Please inform on suspect's location.
01:07:58.375 --> 01:07:59.958
Watch out!
01:08:16.666 --> 01:08:18.500
Damn it!
01:08:30.166 --> 01:08:32.375
- Hoshino!
- Sorry.
01:09:01.041 --> 01:09:03.958
Stop or I'll shoot!
01:09:26.625 --> 01:09:28.083
Maiku.
01:09:29.333 --> 01:09:30.500
Run.
01:09:31.708 --> 01:09:33.333
I'll do what I can.
01:09:38.083 --> 01:09:40.208
If they get you,
01:09:41.833 --> 01:09:44.041
I'll lose my only friend.
01:09:45.250 --> 01:09:47.791
- Hoshino.
- Don't worry.
01:09:48.750 --> 01:09:51.125
I've always wanted to do this.
01:09:52.875 --> 01:09:54.791
Just get out of here!
01:09:58.583 --> 01:10:00.208
Hoshino...
01:10:07.291 --> 01:10:11.666
Maiku, it's all over for you.
Just give in.
01:10:18.583 --> 01:10:19.958
Son of a bitch!
01:10:24.625 --> 01:10:25.958
Hoshino!
01:10:27.000 --> 01:10:30.125
This toy gun just doesn't cut it.
01:10:48.125 --> 01:10:51.083
Why did you come back?
01:11:00.666 --> 01:11:04.541
I guess this is good-bye, Maiku.
01:11:41.208 --> 01:11:44.958
Open your eyes...
Hoshino, open your eyes!
01:11:47.541 --> 01:11:52.458
What are you doing?
Your car was the most important thing!
01:11:52.583 --> 01:11:54.166
Hey!
01:11:55.250 --> 01:11:58.208
I'll sell it... I'll sell it, I tell you.
01:11:59.291 --> 01:12:00.583
Open your eyes!
01:12:15.250 --> 01:12:17.041
Stand back!
01:12:17.708 --> 01:12:20.500
Call an ambulance. Now!
01:12:21.250 --> 01:12:25.916
Hoshino, you'll be okay.
You'll be okay.
01:13:30.708 --> 01:13:34.416
Maiku, spit it out.
01:13:34.916 --> 01:13:37.416
You'll feel a lot better afterwards.
01:13:38.458 --> 01:13:40.916
How many times do I gotta tell you?
01:13:41.750 --> 01:13:43.291
I didn't do it.
01:13:44.291 --> 01:13:47.416
Then whose fingerprints are these?
01:13:47.625 --> 01:13:48.583
They're yours!
01:13:49.000 --> 01:13:52.708
Even if you don't confess,
as long as we've got these,
01:13:52.833 --> 01:13:55.166
you'll get the death sentence!
01:13:55.291 --> 01:14:00.833
But if you confess, you might get off.
01:14:01.375 --> 01:14:03.708
Probably only life.
01:14:03.833 --> 01:14:07.041
Don't you get it?
I'm looking out for you!
01:14:07.166 --> 01:14:09.333
I didn't do it!
01:14:09.416 --> 01:14:12.250
You murderer!
01:14:14.458 --> 01:14:17.375
Maiku, spit it out.
01:14:17.458 --> 01:14:19.750
Tell us everything you know!
01:14:19.833 --> 01:14:22.833
Let me take care of him.
01:14:29.000 --> 01:14:30.458
Get in.
01:14:40.708 --> 01:14:43.333
- Damn you...
- Sorry.
01:14:43.416 --> 01:14:45.250
We're getting out of here.
01:15:08.791 --> 01:15:10.833
What's taking you so long?
01:15:20.458 --> 01:15:21.458
How's Hoshino?
01:15:22.458 --> 01:15:25.583
He's got the devil's luck.
Bullet went right through his chest.
01:15:25.666 --> 01:15:27.458
He'll be all right.
01:15:27.583 --> 01:15:29.666
He's in the police hospital.
01:15:36.666 --> 01:15:40.250
You sure you should be doing this?
01:15:40.958 --> 01:15:45.166
If I don't find the murderer,
I'm in as much trouble as you are.
01:15:47.416 --> 01:15:50.166
I have to tell you something.
01:15:50.416 --> 01:15:52.041
What?
01:15:52.708 --> 01:15:54.166
Yuriko's been kidnapped.
01:15:54.291 --> 01:15:55.541
What?
01:15:56.125 --> 01:15:59.083
Your colleagues found out where she is.
01:15:59.166 --> 01:16:03.291
They can save her at a moment's notice.
We're going there now.
01:16:04.500 --> 01:16:06.291
Hurry.
01:16:07.875 --> 01:16:09.458
Please.
01:16:12.583 --> 01:16:14.291
How's Yuriko?
01:16:16.333 --> 01:16:19.833
Nothing's happened to her yet.
01:16:23.083 --> 01:16:26.916
We have a wire in her necklace.
01:16:33.958 --> 01:16:35.666
Stay calm, now.
01:16:36.291 --> 01:16:39.958
Yuriko told us that
if something like this should happen,
01:16:40.041 --> 01:16:42.416
we should catch the murderer
before saving her.
01:16:43.375 --> 01:16:46.750
Above all, she wants to save you.
01:16:48.875 --> 01:16:51.166
If you don't understand,
01:16:51.833 --> 01:16:54.708
then you just go and barge on in.
01:16:56.583 --> 01:16:58.541
Put on the makeup.
01:17:25.416 --> 01:17:28.416
Put it on carefully.
01:17:36.500 --> 01:17:38.083
Stand up.
01:17:39.958 --> 01:17:41.791
Stand up.
01:17:46.708 --> 01:17:48.916
Walk over there...
01:17:50.791 --> 01:17:53.375
and embrace him.
01:18:38.791 --> 01:18:41.500
Now say what I told you.
01:18:55.416 --> 01:18:57.750
Sorry, little boy.
01:18:58.375 --> 01:19:00.375
You must have been lonely.
01:19:12.416 --> 01:19:14.875
Mama's not going away.
01:19:15.458 --> 01:19:18.375
Mama's going to stay with her little boy.
01:19:39.791 --> 01:19:41.958
She's not your mother, is she?
01:19:52.541 --> 01:19:54.375
Let's kill her.
01:20:55.125 --> 01:20:57.625
This girl can't speak.
01:21:04.750 --> 01:21:08.000
You don't know your mother's voice.
01:21:10.875 --> 01:21:13.666
You were abandoned at birth.
01:21:18.416 --> 01:21:20.666
Your mother is me.
01:21:23.250 --> 01:21:25.500
I'll be your mother.
01:21:29.750 --> 01:21:31.583
Can you hear it?
01:21:34.166 --> 01:21:36.625
You are in here.
01:21:41.916 --> 01:21:44.291
I'll give birth to you,
01:21:47.125 --> 01:21:50.541
and I'll be your real mother.
01:21:56.000 --> 01:21:59.625
Are you happy, Mikki?
01:22:37.291 --> 01:22:38.916
Why?
01:22:43.375 --> 01:22:45.916
Why?
01:22:57.333 --> 01:22:59.333
Weren't we...
01:23:02.916 --> 01:23:04.666
two people...
01:23:07.458 --> 01:23:10.541
united as one?
01:23:26.916 --> 01:23:28.875
Mikki.
01:23:35.500 --> 01:23:39.250
Are my hands cold?
01:23:54.500 --> 01:23:56.500
Kozu here.
01:23:56.583 --> 01:23:59.666
I found the real murderer. Come quick.
01:24:00.375 --> 01:24:01.916
Yuriko!
01:24:33.500 --> 01:24:34.666
You are the murderer.
01:25:36.666 --> 01:25:37.833
THE MURDERER ARRESTED
01:25:37.958 --> 01:25:40.416
- She had no fingerprints!
- So that's why!
01:25:41.583 --> 01:25:43.541
You must be relieved, Akane.
01:25:44.208 --> 01:25:46.750
June 15, 1995,
01:25:46.875 --> 01:25:51.916
we commend you
for capturing the serial murderer.
01:26:02.500 --> 01:26:06.291
This closes the Kanagawa Murder Case.
01:26:07.125 --> 01:26:12.333
The special task force is disbanded.
Many thanks.
01:26:16.250 --> 01:26:19.333
Sneaky, doing it without me.
01:26:21.875 --> 01:26:23.625
You should have this.
01:26:23.916 --> 01:26:26.666
Don't patronize me, punk.
01:26:27.416 --> 01:26:29.583
I'm quitting the force.
01:26:29.708 --> 01:26:32.583
What? What are you going to do?
01:26:32.958 --> 01:26:34.750
I'll be a private eye.
01:26:41.833 --> 01:26:45.916
Tulips everywhere
01:26:46.041 --> 01:26:50.875
Red, white, yellow
lined up in a row
01:26:51.000 --> 01:26:53.000
The case is closed.
01:26:54.708 --> 01:26:56.208
Life is back to normal.
01:27:01.416 --> 01:27:04.250
First, put your heart
into the investigation.
01:27:04.333 --> 01:27:06.958
Second, put your best into disguises.
01:27:07.083 --> 01:27:12.750
Work on these principles and
you'll make fine private investigators.
01:27:47.916 --> 01:27:51.166
This is Maiku Hama, P.I.
Approved by the Kanagawa police.
01:27:53.291 --> 01:27:54.875
Yuriko?
01:27:56.000 --> 01:27:58.583
What's up?
I'll come meet you tonight.
01:27:59.875 --> 01:28:03.125
No? Will you be late?
01:28:05.083 --> 01:28:08.750
I see. How about 10:00?
01:28:10.833 --> 01:28:12.791
How about 10:30?
01:28:14.083 --> 01:28:15.666
Okay, 10:30 it is.
01:28:26.833 --> 01:28:30.708
Why don't you wait inside?
Have some coffee.
01:29:05.916 --> 01:29:10.291
STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
01:32:00.250 --> 01:32:01.583
Mikki.
01:32:40.208 --> 01:32:41.541
Mikki.
01:32:43.125 --> 01:32:45.583
How many people have you killed?
01:32:46.833 --> 01:32:49.916
Does it make you happy to kill?
01:32:51.250 --> 01:32:54.791
The hole in your heart
grows with each death.
01:32:56.083 --> 01:32:58.375
Like the darkness that surrounds us.
01:32:59.541 --> 01:33:02.708
Isn't that right, Mikki?
01:33:17.958 --> 01:33:20.458
You thought you had me.
01:33:21.000 --> 01:33:23.500
But telephones transmit more than voices.
01:33:25.666 --> 01:33:29.041
Mizuki wasn't manipulating you.
01:33:31.250 --> 01:33:33.750
You were manipulating Mizuki.
01:33:35.875 --> 01:33:39.125
Was it revenge against
the mother who left you?
01:33:40.125 --> 01:33:41.916
No, right?
01:33:43.500 --> 01:33:46.416
You just kill because you want to.
01:33:47.375 --> 01:33:51.833
Anyone will do.
You have no reason.
01:33:54.000 --> 01:33:55.833
Isn't that right, Mikki?
01:33:57.041 --> 01:33:59.125
You're just playing the fool, right?
01:34:19.333 --> 01:34:21.541
No use anymore.
01:34:23.083 --> 01:34:25.875
Yuriko would sacrifice herself
to save others.
01:34:27.000 --> 01:34:29.458
Even a guy like you.
01:34:30.750 --> 01:34:32.708
But I won't.
01:34:33.750 --> 01:34:35.208
If you kill her,
01:34:36.291 --> 01:34:37.916
I'll kill you!
01:34:43.000 --> 01:34:45.041
Don't worry, Yuriko.
01:34:46.333 --> 01:34:48.583
I won't make a mistake.
01:34:49.500 --> 01:34:51.291
I've promised you.
01:34:57.208 --> 01:34:59.041
You—
01:38:02.250 --> 01:38:04.291
Bastard!
01:38:18.375 --> 01:38:19.958
Hey.
01:38:20.083 --> 01:38:21.666
I'm not done with you!
01:39:03.583 --> 01:39:04.541
Mikki?
01:39:13.083 --> 01:39:15.416
Where did he go?
01:39:16.458 --> 01:39:20.125
Where did you go?
01:40:21.791 --> 01:40:23.458
How long has it been?
01:40:23.583 --> 01:40:24.958
Since what?
01:40:25.041 --> 01:40:27.750
Since Maiku disappeared.
01:40:27.833 --> 01:40:29.916
About nine months.
01:40:30.000 --> 01:40:33.583
I wish he'd told us where he was going.
01:40:33.666 --> 01:40:35.500
Just like him.
01:40:35.583 --> 01:40:38.416
What gets me is that he left with a woman.
01:40:38.541 --> 01:40:41.250
Hey, aren't we married?
01:40:41.375 --> 01:40:42.916
Oh, yeah. I forgot.
01:40:43.875 --> 01:40:46.500
Thank you.
01:40:47.416 --> 01:40:49.583
- I'm home.
- Welcome back.
01:40:49.708 --> 01:40:53.041
Did everything go well
with your freshman orientation?
01:40:53.625 --> 01:40:55.083
You really did it.
01:40:55.083 --> 01:40:59.166
You made it into
Yokohama National University.
01:40:59.291 --> 01:41:03.625
But where's Maiku gone off to?
01:41:04.833 --> 01:41:06.750
Hello.
01:41:06.833 --> 01:41:09.291
Thank you.
01:41:13.375 --> 01:41:15.500
I'm going back to Taiwan.
01:41:17.041 --> 01:41:19.666
Thank you for everything.
01:41:20.833 --> 01:41:23.833
You are a true friend.
01:41:24.458 --> 01:41:27.166
My only friend.
01:41:28.458 --> 01:41:30.666
You've been like
01:41:30.791 --> 01:41:33.416
a real brother to me.
01:41:34.166 --> 01:41:37.250
Thank you.
01:41:41.166 --> 01:41:44.041
STUDENT I.D.
AKANE HAMA
01:41:57.833 --> 01:42:02.291
Akane, how are you?
Congratulations.
01:42:02.958 --> 01:42:06.375
Sorry for disappearing
without telling you.
01:42:07.625 --> 01:42:10.416
Yuriko and I are still travelling.
01:42:10.500 --> 01:42:12.416
We're doing great.
01:42:13.833 --> 01:42:16.000
Look in the bottom drawer.
01:42:24.208 --> 01:42:26.791
It's money I've been saving for you.
01:42:26.916 --> 01:42:29.375
It's your money. Please use it.
01:42:30.583 --> 01:42:34.541
I'm really happy
that you're going to college.
01:42:36.375 --> 01:42:38.125
Give everyone my best.
01:42:38.250 --> 01:42:41.416
I'll be back soon. Your brother.
01:42:49.416 --> 01:42:51.750
OUT OF OFFICE
01:42:54.333 --> 01:42:58.000
Asa, my brother sent me a fax!
01:43:08.083 --> 01:43:10.208
HOSHINO TAXI
01:43:12.625 --> 01:43:14.125
PREVIEW
01:43:14.250 --> 01:43:16.416
HOSHINO, THE INFORMANT SERIES
01:43:16.500 --> 01:43:18.958
I'll look after Yokohama
while Maiku's gone.
01:43:19.791 --> 01:43:22.458
STARRING KIYOTAKA NAMBARA
The name's Hikaru Hoshino.
01:43:22.458 --> 01:43:24.708
Taxi Driver born and raised in Yokohama.
01:43:24.708 --> 01:43:27.333
But this is just my cover.
