'Spring' came down from the second floor.

Thanks.

Come on.

Where?

To get 'em.

Get 'em?

Get who?

There's this girl in our class.

Her dad's in politics. She's kind of stuck up.

She's good-looking too, and knows it.

So you're going to beat her up?

Not her!

Some of the guys she's pissed off are going to attack her.

Attack her?

Rape.

No!

Don't touch me!

Stop it!

Don't!

No!

Haru' Thank you for...

I didn't come to save you.

Haru came down from the second floor.

'Spring' is 'Haru'... my younger brother.

GRAVITY'S CLOWNS

Look at this sketch, please.

No, it isn 't something I doodled while I was on the phone.

It was drawn in 1953 by a man named Crick...

... co-discoverer of the 'double helix' structure of DNA.

There is also a sketch by his colleague Watson.

Together they form an almost-perfect model of DNA.

Crick was 37 at that time, and Watson was 25.

Hey, 25...

Einstein was 26 when he published his three biggest papers.

We've still got a year.

A vast body of genetic research has accumulated since then...

... but the question remains of 'nature versus nurture'.

Tell the prof I'm not going back to the lab today.

Work?

A family dinner.

What's the occasion?

My mom's death-day.

Is it coming off?

It will.

I've got my own special blend of detergent.

Somebody sure can paint. Is this 'graffiti art'?

This is paint-and-run, not art.

Just some amateur.

You're a harsh criitic.

It's the Picasso in me.

'Can'?

Can it. It's meaningless.

Before it was this.

'God'...

You take pictures?

Before and after. For the owners.

'Owners'?

The owners of the walls.

Yeah? So you're working?

Sure I am!

Think Dad'll say it?

What?

'You two been out having fun?'

He always says that.

He used to.

We're not often both here. I'll bet he does.

We're back.

Hi.

He didn't say it.

How are your bees this year? Last year the hornets got them.

And a virus two years ago...

This year they're fine. Come get some honey next month.

Honey I don't need.

I'll have his, then.

What's wrong?

This doesn't taste right. You try it.

It tastes a bit fishy. Add some milk and make it a chowder.

Hot-pot?

Yeah.

That doesn't look too good.

'The self-indulgent live to eat, the self-restrained eat to live.'

Huh?

That's Gandhi.

Let's eat.

Bon appetit.

Well?

Could be worse.

Told you'

Don't encourage him!

That's important. Sometimes that's all that saves you.

Gandhi?

No. Mom said that.

She did?

Yeah.

Police say it is very likely a case of arson.

It's lucky they called the Fire Department right away.

It's good that not much burned.

Since last month...

...there have been five suspected arson cases here in Sendai.

The same guy?

Evidence points to one arsonist.

Hey...

What?

That's near where I was cleaning.

No, it isn't.

Yes, it is!. That bowling alley's the next street over.

See?

You're right!

No witnesses have yet come forward...

...and citizens are becoming nervous.

Maybe it's stress.

Five fires, all put out right away. It doesn't sound like a grudge.

Why would stress make you set fires?

A younger brother better-looking than you, maybe?

Yeah, but that'd drive you to self-immolation, not arson.

The girls like your brother, huh?

Yep.

One even used to sneak into his room and clean it up for him.

That's stalkiing, isn't it?

We named her 'Natsuko'.

'Summer child'?

Yeah. She was always after 'Spring'.

Very subtle.

So is his girlfriend a babe?

I don't think he has one.

Why not?

No interest.

He's one of 'those'?

Ask him.

No, thanks.

What's up?

Are you at the lab?

Yeah.

Did you get sick after that dinner?

No. Why?

Dad got food poisoning.

The chowder, I bet.

Probably.

Did he see a doctor?

Yeah, just to be sure.

He's so hot!

I'll call you later.

Excuse me...could we get a picture with you?

A picture?

Nature or Nurture?

Haru...

What are you doing here?

Last night I heard the sirens go by my place.

What are you doing here?

Work. There's some graffiti near here.

What?

You know, I just realized something amazing.

What?

A pattern.

Wherever these fires have been, there's graffiti nearby.

I've marked where the fires have been.

The first one...

...was on Kimachi Street.

Then one in Ichibancho.

Then Otamayashita.

I realized after the fourth.

I started looking at the addresses in the paper.

The fifth was Odawara.

The bowliing alley we saw on TV.

This is the sixth.

There's a link with the graffiti art.

It's coincidence.

No. The arsonist is sending a message.

A message?

Let's tour the sites. Maybe we'll find something.

No!

'God can talk.'

'Ants go to America.'

What's the word here?

'Ants'.

Here?

'Go to'.

Here?

'America'.

Tamaya Bridge

No one's cleaned this up.

I've been meaning to ask. Do you hate women?

Not particularly.

You never go out with one.

I don't dislike women.

I just hate how people play up sex.

Like it's holy, or sensual or artistic or something.

'Sex, sex, sex'...

An animal in Africa would laugh to hear that.

'Sex and violence'?

'Tell me something I don't know' they'd say.

I'm back.

Wasn't that overnight bag in here?

It should be. Did you look?

Yes!

It was here...

You moyved it!

I did not!

The circus...

Hm?

Oh, yeah.

You were scared stiff of the elephants.

You screamed so loud...

...you even scared them.

You two always dressed the same.

Right down to the casts.

Haru just wrapped toilet paper around his leg to copy me.

This is different. Haru's in uniform.

He was first-string.

Not you?

Aw, shuddup.

There's a lot behind that picture.

Huh?

Isn't that Natsuko the stalker?

Yeah!

What?

Here, too.

And here.

And here, too!

There.

Wow!

Here, too.

Looke at her!

What the hell?!

She was really something!

What persistence!

If only she'd used it for something useful.

The bag.

So where are you going?

Hospital.

Hospital?

I've got cancer.

Cancer?

I thought it was food poisoning, but it was a tumor.

Are you sure?

Yeah. They can get it with an operation though.

This'll do.

Mr Okuno, Tadashi.

Will he really be OK?

Why was he so off-hand about it?

Did he ever tell you...

...how he and Mom met?

Lost in the snow?

It makes you laugh, doesn't it.

Always smile when you're delivering bad news.

Stop!

Looks like we're stuck.

I'm sorry.

Not at all.

Could I play some music?

Please do.

You're a model, aren't you.

Yes.

I thought so.

I work at Sendai city hall. We handle approvals for photo-shoot locations.

Oh.

Thank you.

It's supposed to keep snowing all night.

The most snow this year, the news said.

I wonder how long we could go without eating or drinking?

Excuse me...

...but could you turn that down a little?

Sure.

How can you listen to musiic like this and say...

...such depressing things?

I'm sorry.

Not at all.

This is Roland Kirk. He played sax and flute.

He'd play the flute through his nose, or play several saxophones at once.

Neat, huh?

He lost his sight as a child.

That made me think.

Someone who was absorbed in seeing wouldn't be so much fun to listen to.

And I hate to say it, but I have more depressing news.

Pretty soon this car will run out of gas.

Could we...

...have the music louder?

How's your son?

He must be big by now.

He's walking.

He must be the cutest thing!

Your wife's so beautiful, after all.

A great big one!

Look! You see that?

Amazing.

I never imagined myself married with a child.

I always imagined myself married to someone like that.

But now it seems perfectly natural...

...that he's here getting bigger every day.

Like it was decided long, long ago.

Oh, Izumi!

Off you go!

'Bye.

Bye-bye.

'280 century ago'...

280 centuries ago...

What happened 28,000 years ago?

Beats me.

This stakeout isn't getting us anywhere.

Three more graffiti cases...

... but only two more fires.

What could that mean?

What do you want the Michael Jordan bat for, anyway?

I bring you and the bat whenever I deal with bad guys.

Yeah, right!

And I saw the real autograph on TV. This one's different.

Plus Michael Jordan is a basketball star.

He played baseball, but he wasn't a hitter.

It's a weird birthday present for a high-school kid.

Don't look at me. It's Dad who bought it.

How is he?

Fine.

He gets out next week.

Yeah?

So...

...are you staying here?

So far the fires have started between now and 2 a.m.

2 a.m.?!

Yeah.

You're going to sit here till then?

There are better ideas.

Here.

What's this?

To pour on a fire.

This won't put out a fire!

It's better than nothing.

What's that?

Water.

Why is mine domestic and yours imported?

Don't sweat the details.

You get that way when you're always compared to your little brother.

Call if you see anything.

Tomatoes.

There you go.

What's your name?

'Izumi'. As in 'fountain'.

That's quite the name!

Bye-bye.

Thank you.

'Ca-ca-ca-cabbage!

'Q-q-q-cucumber!

'Toe-toe-toe-tomato!

'Low-low-low-lotus root!

'De-de-de-devil's tongue!

'Rah-rah-rah-radish!

'Po-po-po-potato!'

Up!

'Mush-mush-mush-mushroom!

'Gree-gree-gree-green peas!

'Pum-pum-pum-pumpkin!'

There.

'Pep-pep-pep-pepper!

'Uhn-nun-nun-onion!

'Bee-bee-bee-beans!

'Tick-tick-tick-tickle tickle!'

No!

Somebody!

Yeah?

There's a fire!

Where?!

Sorry!

Pour some water on it!

We've got to call the Fire Department.

Here!

Did you see him?

No.

Let's get out of here.

They'll think it was us.

Have you heard?

Do you know who was attacked?

Mrs Okuno!

Isn't that awful! Maybe because she was a model.

Being beautiful has its problems.

High-School Boy Arrested In Serial Rape Of 30 Women

Yes?

It's me.

I wanted to do some shopping but I've left my wallet at work.

Could you bring me some money?

Thanks.

Hey, it's festival time.

Let's go have a look.

See, Izumi? That's called a 'festival'.

Looks like fun, huh?

You didn't forget your wallet.

Yes, I did.

It's true!

You always tug at your lip when you're lying.

Tadashi...

Something's bothering me.

I'm in my tenth week.

Come on.

Have it.

Have it, and we'll raise it.

We're lucky to rent it so cheap.

Some foreign artist used it as a cottage.

I've thought of a name.

'Haru'. As in 'spring'.

Haru...

'Izumi' and 'Haru'. In English, they both mean 'spring'.

We're ready to go.

OK.

Mr Okuno's in Room 621. Straight down on your left.

Thank you.

Hi.

How are you? I hear you're getting out.

I'm dying of boredom.

It's just test after test.

Endoscopes, scans, they even went in up my ass!

That's how it goes.

Crosswords?

Haru brought it.

And historical novels, and detective stories.

And a cookbook. Should I be offended?

Oh yeah...

Tell me something.

Let's see...

What's 'total genetic content'?

Six letters.

'Genome'?

That was fast!

All that university has been of some use.

You learn that in middle school.

Done!

I-N-T-E-R-N-E-T...

Oh! 'internet'!

First letters?

The graffiti you rubbed out formed three sentences.

The first letters of the first two are AGA and GCT.

Two hundred eighty begins with T, so that's TCA.

You know what that means?

What?

A gene sequence.

The genes are like a person's blueprint.

Three of those letters form one unist.

And three of those units are called a 'codon'.

See?

Huh?

The double helix!

The arson sites... 'T' for 'team', 'C' for Cutie, 'T' for Tamaya Bridge.

CGA...

This is AGT.

Now, genes...

...are arranged in long double chains of C, G, T, and A.

'A' in one chain always goes with 'T' in the other, and so on.

'Ants', 'go to', and 'America' is AGA.

That corresponds to TCT.

'God can talk' is GCT...

...which goes with CGA.

'280'i, ' century', and 'ago' is TCA, which matches AGT.

They all match!

'Wow' in the dictionary means 'your brother'.

Maybe it's a code...

...saying where he'll strike next.

But why arson and genes?

What are you researching?

Arson and genes.

A gene for arson?

No.

Some say criminality is genetic.

That genes cause children to misbehave...

...and play a big part in crimes those people commit as adults.

If you've been arrested by age 14 they say you'll likely reoffend.

There's no proof of that.

Maybe not.

By the way...

...are you from Sendai?

We moved out of the city...

Did you ever hear of a serial rapist around here 24 years ago?

Why?

It was a high-school kid.

He raped 30 women, then got out after five years in reformatory.

It seems he's come back here.

He runs an escort service, and pimps underage girls on the sly.

Amazing huh? He hasn't changed a bit!

You didn't know?

Izumi!

Haru!

Lunch!

We're back!

You two been out having fun?

Yep!

Art contest?

Yes! Haru won the gold ribbon.

'Gold ribbon'?

You mean first prize?

Yes.

But keep quiet.

Goodbye.

Well?

It looks like my picture won a prize.

What kind of prize?

Gold ribbon.

Sorry? I didn't hear you.

The gold ribbon.

Hurray!

Gold Ribbon

It's a landscape that somehow doesn't look like a landscape.

But it's really good.

Where's Haru?

He went somewhere.

He's embarrassed. Go find him.

Your mom painted that!

I painted it.

You're a damn liar!

Haru... Dad wants you.

You can't paint worth shit. Get out of here!

Come on.

Don't you ignore me!

Stop it!

No.

Let go!

Why should I?

Ow!

Ow'

Whatever's the matter?!

That kid pushed him!

You shouldn't push people!

Izumi?

Did something happen?

He said you helped Haru with his picture.

I didn't help him.

If she didn't, Haru must be a genius!

Does it come from his father?

No, I don't have talent. I'm not like him at all.

Yes, you don't look alike at all. Isn't that strange!

Maybe so, but he's my son. Him and Izumi.

I know all about it. The whole town does.

Come on.

So what if I don't look like my dad?

What's wrong with that?

What are you doing?!

Stop it!

Haru!

Stop it!

Boy, that was a shock!

Can you believe that?

Mom...

Why is it just me who can paint?

You're Picasso reborn.

Who's Picasso?

A great painter.

Not only that, he was always trying something new.

He died the day you were born.

Good night.

'Night.

What's that?

A DNA test.

Of what?

A person.

Someone adopted happened to find his biological parents.

And?

99.7 per cent.

Parent and child. No mistake.

Katsuragi, Yukio. 39.

After reformatory he knocked around red-light districts...

...then came back to Sendai.

That's from a bar he frequents. He only drinks ginger ale.

He probablyy can't stomach alcohol.

Excuse me.

In other news, a Labrador is running for election in Alabama.

What's up?

Do you have a field guide for insects?

Got an idea?

About arson and genes.

Oh...no, not yet.

Should Dad be doing that? He just got home.

The hornets came back.

Again?

There's signs of a fight.

Bees will take on anything to protect their nest and their queen.

Even if it kills them.

Gandhi said...

...non-violence is the best weapon.

That means not hitting back when someone hits you.

Yes.

So the other guy wins.

Gandhi believed in conscience.

But that was a dream.

Gandhi's non-violence is a great thing...

...but human evil is greater.

Wait for a criminal to find conscience...

...and he'll just go on being a criminal.

Yes?

Is this'After School Confidential'?

My younger sister ran away from home.

I'm told she might be here. Could I come up and check?

Hello?

I could just go to the police...

Take her if she's here.

She's not.

9th Sendai Arson Case

Do you enjoy your work?

Are you still here?

I'm leaving.

Want to try one first?

No, thank you.

'No, thank you'!

Can I ask one thing?

Do you ever think you're doing something wrong?

There's'rape'.

Is that bad?

Of course.

That's what they say.

And why?

Another person is hurt.

Yes.

But it's the other person who's hurt, not you.

For you it feels great. It's someone else who suffers.

So rape isn't bad.

I don't understand.

They tell you to think how the other person feels.

That you can imagine that.

Well, I have a very powerful imagination.

I am imagination with legs.

I know very well how much the other person suffers.

But then I imagine beyond that.

I'm not the one suffering. It has nothing to do with me.

To suffer by imagining suffering is to display a lack of imagination.

You'd almost think you'd actually done it.

A page in the story of my life.

I've got pictures.

Pictures?

I took pictures. I thought they might come in useful.

Maybe for blackmail or something.

But you should only ever rape a virgin.

They fight to keep their chastity.

Mothers with kids are the worst.

They're no fun at all.

They practically say 'thank you'. Can you believe that!

Huh?

I win!

Izumi...

What's'rape'?

Why?

People keep saying it.

'Rape'...

'Grape'...

'Fanta Grape'...

'Rape, grape, Fanta grape'...

'Rape, grape, Fanta grape'?

Was your wife depressed about anything?

There are brake marks, and we're sure it was an accident.

We just need to be sure...

She did not commit suicide.

Nothing in her past she might suddenly have remembered?

My wife did not commit suicide.

I have something to tell you.

I meant this to wait till you were both grown up.

Seventeen years ago, there was a series of rapes.

Your mother was a victim.

She got pregnant...

...with Haru.

When she said she was pregnant, I asked God what I should do.

I heard a voice.

A voice?

It might not have been God, but I heard it.

A voice shouting in my head.

What did it say?

'You figure it out!'

'You figure it out,' it said.

But you know...

...when you think about it...

...that's the way a God should do things.

So what did you do?

Right away I made up my mind. By myself.

'Haru will be my son, Izumi's younger brother.'

No family's stronger than us.

Murder

The Smiley Murder Club

First, choose your method.

Drowning

It's this one.

Hello, Mr Katsuragi?

I was at your office the other day, looking for my sister.

That's right.

We found her, thanks.

No, I'm calling about something else.

I'd like to buy those pictures from you.

Yes, the rape ones.

An acquaintance of mine is really into that.

He'll pay a lot for them.

Oh, don't worry.

Your name won't come out.

The buyer isn't in Japan. I'm sure it'll be safe.

Could we at least discuss the matter?

Ten minutes will be fine.

Thank you.

Tomorrow night?

I'll come at 10. Could you have them ready?

Yes, all of them.

Thank you.

What's up?

Your cell phone's off.

Oh...I turned it off at work and forgot to turn it on.

Can I come in?

Sure.

Let's go somewhere else.

I found a new graffiti today.

May I take your order?

Beer.

Ginger ale.

We have dry ginnger ale and sweet ginger ale...

Sweet.

Sweet? yes, sir.

Izumi...

What are you hiding?

Nothing.

I know.

What?

You took a hair from my bed. Was that for a DNA test?

Well, with Dad the way he is, I thought I'd check into...

And do what?

You busy tomorrow?

We should keep watch around the new graffiti.

I can't.

Come on! We can catch him. I'll come pick you up.

I can't!

Why not?

Who cares? I don't have time for this!

Dad's sick, and you're chasing around after criminals!

When will you grow up?!

Think of your future!

I can't watch over you forever!

Why are you following me?!

What do you want?

Tell me!

I'm sorry.

It's not you I'm following.

The one I'm following...

...is Haru.

Haru?

You know him?

You don't recognize me, do you.

No.

I used to phone your place and not say anything.

Or I'd go into your house.

I'm sorry I did that.

Natsuko?

It's been a long time.

I had plastic surgery.

I thought Haru ignored me because I wasn't pretty enough.

He doesn't care about that.

Yes. I know that now.

'Oh, it's you?' was all he said when he saw me.

I scrimped and saved to pay for it.

I thought I was reborn... and nothing.

But because of that I finally gave up on him.

I quit following Haru around.

But now you've started again.

That's because I'm worried about him.

Worried?

Have you seen the graffiti he's rubbing out?

The graffiti art?

He's the one...

...who painted it all.

He doesn't have a job erasing it.

He paints it, then he rubs it out.

What do you mean?

He's mentally unstable. And only you can help him.

I saw him sprinkling kerosene and setting fires.

The serial arsonist...

...is Haru.

Adachi Scrap Yard

This is Softbank.

The unit you have called is either switched off or in a no-service area.

What brings you here?

I just had something to do. I'm leaving now.

Oh. Take care going home.

Haru said he wanted to see a picture of the old house.

Dad...

No family's stronger than us, right?

Why? What's the matter?

See you later.

Ai Motors...

It's Okuno here...

About the van. I'm coming for it now.

All right.

Hello.

Thirty places.

Thirty?

The arson sites?

Some others, too.

Maybe where he's planning to set fires?

I've seen Haru with this man.

Where?

Where there was a fire. They were arguing.

So I started following him. That's when I saw you in that bar.

How is he connected with Haru?

What's all this?

Rapes, from 24 years ago.

They're the same.

The arson and the rapes. All in the same place.

Where are you?

I found more graffiti. At the JR rail yard.

There'll be another fire.

Was that Haru?

Wow!

Tchaikovsky...

Tacitus...

Gauguin, Goya...

Turner, Archimedes, Gandhi...

All starting with A, T, G, and C, the genetic code letters.

'The unforgiven will receive retribution.'

Does Haru have a grudge against someone?

Enough to wish he hadn't been born.

Will he set fires in all 30 places?

No, this is the last one. This is a'stop codon'.

'UGA'is a'stop codon', the end of a genetic sequence.

I get it!

Where are you going?!

Is there something wrong with you?

Setting fires everywhere, sending me newspaper clippings...

It was a warning. I was giving you a chance.

So you're my kid?

It was easy to find out.

Doesn't your family have any shame?

They raise a kid born of rape and don't even try to hide it?

I'd be ashamed.

You're right. And I'm the shame.

So what do you want?

What's with this calling me out and telling me to repent?

I am what I am. I haven't done anything I repent.

It was just a rape. Tell me what's wrong with that.

Whatever.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Cleansing.

Fire has a cleansing effect.

What you did needs to be cleansed.

And you with it.

Hey...

You're going to kill your father?

You're only here because of me, right?

If I hadn't raped that woman, you wouldn't be here.

You wouldn't be here!

Do you understand that?

I'm your dad! You're my flesh and blood!

The only dad I have has cancer.

Ow!

Chance of precipitation today is zero per cent.

There are no weather warnings at present.

The clear weather will continue, with a low tonight of 10 degrees...

...rising to 18 yomorrow.

It looks like a fine day.

It's 7:15 a.m.

Here is the news.

Fire last night destroyed a vacant house here in Sendai...

...in Kitayama, Aoba Ward.

A man's body was discovered in the house...

...and police suspect the fire may be linked...

...to recent cases of arson.

Did you use a genetic code to get me interested?

Yeah.

Why did you call me? You could've done it alone.

I get nervous if you're not there...

...at important times.

You may not realize it, but I'm a coward at heart.

I know.

I'll turn myself in.

What you did wasn't wrong.

Society thinks differently.

Who cares about that?

I'm sure...

...you've thought over and over about what you should do.

No cop or judge has the right to say you shouldn't have.

Nobody's thought as hard about this as you.

What a mess!.

It sure is.

I was planning to kill him, too.

A real mess.

Been out having fun?

Should you be up this early?

I saw the doctor yesterday.

It's moved into the lymph glands. There's nothing they can do.

That's OK.

I'm not afraid of dying. I'm not afraid of anything.

Well, there was one thing.

Your mother came into the city hall and said,'Let's live together.'

Everyone hated me.

Like,'Why you?'

As if I'd been caught embezzling.

I want to ask something.

Come here.

You two did something you're hiding.

Aren't you.

Like what?

Something bad.

No.

Nothing.

Haru...

You've done something serious and you're hiding it from me.

Haven't you.

I haven't done anything.

Haru always tugs at his lip when he's lying.

You take after me. You're a lousy liar.

And now Richie the Clown will give it a try!.

Mom...

He'll fall!

He'll be fine.

See? He missed!

Can he do it this time?

This time he caught it.

Now, can he fly?

He did it!

Is he all right?

Yes, he is!

That was close!

Look at his face, Haru.

If he's having that much fun, he won't fall.

And if he does, he'll be fine.

Why?

If you make your life fun, gravity goes away.

Soon we might all just float up into the air!

A big hand for Richie the Clown!

Careful.

It's sweet.

Yeah.

What do we do next?

I don't know.

Go get the book from Dad's room.

This one.

What's wrong?

I was asking God what we should do next.

And?

He isn't saying anything.

God has busy times, too.

'Make the changes in this world that you want to see,' Gandhi said.

'Make the changes in this world that you want to see.'

Good thought.

Yeah.

Catch.

Tell me first!

And one more...

'Spring' came down from the second floor.
