I'll tell you what I've deduced.

It appears to me that somehow you guys are detecting the intent to kill

and using that to catch the killer.

I gather you have a murderer cooperate in your peculiar investigation, don't you?

The reason the gloomy guy from the next cell over

was able to get the murderer in the opposite cell to kill himself the other night

after a single conversation, was that he knew secrets from deep in the man's mind.

Practically every day, this Narihisago character is taken away by the guards

and returns looking like a new layer of despair has been applied to his dreary face.

That doesn't happen from an interrogation about your own crime.

"Police Suspect Data File" That doesn't happen from an interrogation about your own crime.

"Police Suspect Data File" As he whispered that night, it was like he was silently screaming.

As he whispered that night, it was like he was silently screaming.

I wish you guys could have heard it, too.

Lucky guess? No, of course not.

It appears Fukuda's IQ exceeded 150.

No telling what it is with the hole in his brain, though.

But, sir!

He's a suspect, and we still haven't found his last victim!

I read the report.

However, with Narihisago in solitary confinement,

the entire organization is at a standstill.

This is Kaeru.

And I am Anaido.

I don't know my full name. But I'm the brilliant detective.

Anaido has died.

This well was a failure, too.

He's tried seven wells ten times each in three days, but...

His time of operation is far too short.

It just strains the pilot unnecessarily.

He won't make a suitable substitute.

For now just extract him.

All Narihisago does is kill serial killers.

Perhaps our performance is poor,

due to our unavoidable resistance to working with a real serial killer.

That's no excuse.

Even so, he simply dies too much.

Apparently, the sort of person who would drill a hole in their head themselves

has remarkably little survival ability.

"The grave has been dug, and the hole has been filled." "2,842 watching now"

"Oxygen canister."

"Oxygen canister." This is that Gravedigger thing.

For real?

"The grave has been dug, and the hole has been filled." "13,264 watching now"

"The grave has been dug, and the hole has been filled." "13,264 watching now" I've been captured by the Gravedigger,

and people all over the world are watching, huh.

Everyone who came to see me die, sorry to disappoint you!

I'm going to live! You'll see!

You'll see!

Until someone comes to save me,

I'll hang on!

Shoot! Can't waste it.

Was it 52 hours? The record for longest survivor.

I'll do my best to beat the pants off that record!

So somebody please come find me!

"The grave has been dug, and the hole has been filled." "35,023 watching now" So somebody please come find me!

So somebody please come find me!

"The Gravedigger, who buries victims alive, broadcasting again!" This is the seventh victim the Gravedigger has buried alive,

"The Gravedigger, who buries victims alive, broadcasting again!" yet the Japanese police have no leads.

"The Gravedigger, who buries victims alive, broadcasting again!" Be that as it may, I don't believe anyone besides the investigators

"The Gravedigger, who buries victims alive, broadcasting again!" should watch the Gravedigger's broadcasts, no matter how curious they are.

According to experts, the signal is traveling through multiple foreign servers,

making the source difficult to locate.

To continuously film the victim's suffering--it's essentially a snuff film.

Good morning.

Sorry!

Get off your high horse.

I didn't mean to sound superior. Forgive my rudeness.

You're right. This is work. You didn't need an apology.

Now, is this where Keiko Kikuchi was kidnapped?

Yes. Looks like she was taken on her way to school.

Her phone was left behind.

Work? This is a Gravedigger crime scene. Won't you people be useless?

Hey!

Stop antagonizing the Kura kid.

The Kura has a dedicated unit

searching every part of the city top to bottom for Gravedigger victims.

The entire police force is doing its part.

The Kura hasn't been operating lately, though. You're slacking off.

Whoa! Success!

Finally got something!

Maybe it's a sign.

Thank you.

Cognition particles have been gleaned.

We can construct a well.

That's the first time in this case.

Let Narihisago out of solitary.

Hey, colleague.

This corpse has been burnt to a crisp, face and all.

But I know exactly who it is.

This is Kaeru.

And I am Sakaido, the brilliant detective.

I will solve the mystery of Kaeru's death without fail.

I don't see any wounds.

Though, with the body burnt so thoroughly, light cuts or punctures might not show.

Horrible.

How would Kaeru burn to death in a room with no fire?

What?

A girl?

Sakaido has died.

Extract him.

Then put him right back in.

"The grave has been dug, and the hole has been filled." "100,120 watching now" Looks like I'm still good on air.

"The grave has been dug, and the hole has been filled." "100,120 watching now" It's tough not having any food.

"The grave has been dug, and the hole has been filled." "100,120 watching now" Though, it's even tougher that

"The grave has been dug, and the hole has been filled." "100,120 watching now" I have no idea what time it is right now.

"The grave has been dug, and the hole has been filled." "100,120 watching now" It seems like it's been a while.

"The grave has been dug, and the hole has been filled." "100,120 watching now" I wonder whether it's been 24 hours.

"Live broadcast began 7 hours ago." "Keiko Kikuchi 16 years old" I wonder whether it's been 24 hours.

"Live broadcast began 7 hours ago." "Keiko Kikuchi 16 years old"

What's that?

All right! He survived!

Kaeru!

It's pointless. Kaeru is already dead.

There you go!

Our job is not to cheer for Sakaido.

Sorry.

Well, we do need Sakaido to live in order to get more information.

The only thing we know is that the girl Sakaido discovered on the top floor

is the victim, Keiko Kikuchi, when she was ten years old.

Neither this victim nor the Gravedigger's other victims were burned to death.

Maybe the fire isn't actually fire and symbolizes something else.

Could that be it?

Oh, not again.

That's the third backdraft death.

Extract Sakaido then re-inject immediately.

He's been dying in the well for more than six hours straight.

He must be near exhaustion.

He got plenty of rest in solitary.

Inject him.

Yes, sir.

Incredible. He doesn't remember the previous runs, right?

Yeah. It's thanks to Sakaido's ability as a brilliant detective.

But there's still a long way to go.

Sit tight! I'm coming to save you!

Do you need a break, Narihisago?

I used the bathroom a long time ago.

The seat's a bit dirty, but I'm fine.

I see.

Inject him.

Sakaido has died.

The same spot again?

Extract him.

Before you re-inject him, let him eat.

Yes, sir. We'll also clean the cockpit in the meantime.

We don't know what effect Narihisago's environment has on Sakaido's performance.

Please do.

No one's come for me... Why wouldn't...

Hey, wouldn't cognition particles have been found

in any of the Gravedigger's first six cases?

Well, the victims are still buried somewhere and haven't been found.

Even though we can't scan the bodies,

the Gravedigger's drive to kill should be clear at the point of kidnapping.

True. But cognition particles can even blow away in the wind,

so they might have just dispersed if there was a miniscule amount.

Someone who buried six people alive has a trivial drive to kill?

I find that hard to believe.

Besides, the killer livestreamed the victim's deaths,

prolonged the stream by leaving oxygen canisters,

and then showed their corpses decaying after they died.

Someone so sadistic couldn't possibly have a weak drive to kill.

Cognition particles ought to remain.

Well, we found some this time,

so catching the killer will clear all that up.

My point is, why did we find any this time?

I want to save that girl.

But that isn't my task.

My job is to elucidate the mystery of Kaeru's death.

How was Kaeru rendered a burnt corpse in a place with no fire?

Sakaido has died.

Extract him. Let Narihisago have a five-minute break.

Understood.

You should all rest as well.

No, it's not a problem.

It is a problem.

There are things with which tired brains cannot contend.

Keiko Kikuchi has little time left. We can go without for two nights.

Narihisago will be fine, too.

Certainly, Narihisago the police officer would be.

However, these days we have Akihito Narihisago the serial killer.

Your time as colleagues has long since passed.

The desire to save people may no longer motivate him.

He did it!

Sorry for the wait.

All right!

You were scared, huh. It's all right now.

This place is on fire and full of dead people.

It's exactly as she says.

This building is on fire, and littered with burnt bodies.

This girl is the only soul I've seen alive.

Everyone else had already burned to death.

Kaeru is the X factor here after all.

Only Kaeru was in a place with no fire.

In other words, Kaeru didn't die in this fire.

She was burned elsewhere and then moved here.

For what purpose?

Her killer tried to hide her among the bodies in this giant fire.

The killer tried to use this major fire

to cover up the fact that she died in a different one.

It's Gilbert Keith Chesterton!

A wise man hides a leaf in the forest. So hide a corpse in a hill of corpses.

The Gravedigger didn't do this!

It's a copycat!

They tried to hide their murder in the Gravedigger's serial murder.

That's why we found cognition particles!

Then who actually did it?

Thanks. You helped me solve the mystery!

What do you mean?

Don't worry about it.

Come on. Let's get out of here.

Okay!

But how?

Hmm. Well, just trust me. I'm the brilliant detective.

Look! Mr. Oono's house is really, really on fire.

What did she say?

See, Mr. Oono is a failure,

so to start all over again, he lit his house on fire.

Even though his family was sleeping.

He probably thinks I was watching him.

Suspect found.

A Genpei Oono lived in Keiko Kikuchi's neighborhood until she was five.

The face matches, too.

Let's go, Hondomachi.

Yes, sir!

Freeze!

Hands up! On your knees!

Suspect secured!

Victim not found.

Where is Keiko Kikuchi? Tell us!

That mass-produced rug...

Check under the rug!

Roger!

There's another room! Check it! Hurry!

Where's the medical unit?

She's still alive!

We're gonna make it!

What's wrong?

It's not live at all.

Look.

The victim's barrel is still nailed shut.

It's a recording.

The cell phone was a trick.

The victim is dead.

Appears to have been several days.

Dammit! You monster!

I don't remember Mr. Oono.

I kept telling him I didn't see anything.

He burned it all out of frustration.

'Cause Mr. Oono's a failure.

But you're safe now. I'm here.

Come on. Let's go.

What's wrong?

You shouldn't have to see any more scary things.

Thank you for coming to save me.

Thanks for helping me reach the truth.

Hey, mister, will you tell me your name?

We got the guy.

I see.

Since the victim knew him... and he left cognition particles behind...

Was he actually the Gravedigger?

Unfortunately not.

A copycat, then. Hide a leaf in the forest.

Yeah.

Did you find the victim in time?

It was too late.

The broadcast was actually recorded video.

So it was all for nothing.

Do you want to kill him, Narihisago?

Can I?

I'm asking whether you want to.

--You-- --Momoki.

While I've been at the Kura, I've kill--driven five people to suicide.

True, I killed them all, of my own will, acting on my own urges.

But, Momoki, I didn't particularly want to kill them.

I didn't have any malice toward them.

This overwhelming urge to kill just welled up inside me,

and that's when it occurred to me:

I could kill this person.

And so I did. I had no real reason.

So, now what?

Are you just going to keep killing?

No.

People--assuming I'm still a person, that is--

people don't decide to act based on their impulse alone.

You are a person, Narihisago.

I guarantee it.

You're just weak--as a person.

Just one more thing.

Do you still consider me a friend?

That's probably the lifeline that ultimately tethers me to reason.

That was one hell of an outcome.

This means the Gravedigger is still out there.

And we still have no leads.

Well, yeah. Nevertheless, that investigation can resume tomorrow.

It's early, but let's close up shop for today.

I recognize him.

Oh, well.

You're...

Mr. Kazuta!

Mr. Haruka Kazuta, right? The missing person.

You're alive! That's great!
