The human brain.

It weighs a mere 1400 grams.

In volume...

...it is 1400cc, and within it...

...are 50 trillion neurons, packed tightly.

Within a single second, 2 trillion electrical pulses travel back and forth.

However...

...it is said that most humans...

...use only a mere 5% of their brains.

There is still...

...much to learn about this organ.

[Height, Weight, Blood type, Country, Comments: That's a secret]

You haven't drunk nearly enough yet!

I have a meeting first thing in the morning. I'm sorry.

Oh come on! Tomorrow's Saturday, right?

It'll be fine. Let's get a champagne together!

Getz!

Aw come on, pick up on a hint why don't you... See you! See you!

He really can't take a hint, can he?

But in looks, he's the best, you know?

Um...

Can I help you?

No...

I was just thinking, "Wow, how pretty."

Huh? What? Are you crying because you want these shoes?

Oh, because yours broke.

A woman my age wouldn't cry because she wanted shoes.

Use your common sense.

What? Really?

Besides which...

...who'd buy shoes like that anyways...

Huh? But aren't these ones better? Like the feel of them is sorta...

My boyfriend dumped me.

He's got a new girl now.

She's the same type as me...

...and just one year younger than me.

I felt like these shoes were me...

...and those were his new girlfriend. That's why I was crying!

What? These shoes are...

If you understand...

...then leave me alone.

Wait... Wait. Wait!

Wait...

You forgot this.

It's obvious that I'm throwing that away, isn't it?

'Sup?

It isn't good to throw yourself away, right?

Oh. That'd do it.

Maybe you should lose a little weight.

Thank you.

Somehow I feel a little better.

Should I see you home?

I'll be fine.

I can still walk.

Guess this won't work, huh?

[2009 (5 years later)]

....that is, STR is a new method of evaluating DNA...

Here at IPS...

Excuse me!

Excuse me.

[Neuroscience: Research Lab]

Criminal Investigations, Unit 1.

Were you surprised?

I've set 5 bombs throughout Gotanda 4-Cho-me.

What?

The next one will explode in 15 minutes.

[Police Inspector Hayashida Toranosuke]

Hey...

Who are you?

This is the beginning of a fun show!

[MPD Criminal Investigations, Unit 1] [Police Inspector Tanbara Tomomi]

Good work.

Huh? Wait...

Tanbara-san... Are you serious?

Wait...

Tanbara-san, do you think this is a terror attack?

If you wanna go home, go ahead.

What?

Wait, wait...

Wh-what are you doing?

It's going to explode in 2 minutes!

What?

Directive from Headquarters.

Directive from Headquarters.

Bombing case unfolding in the Gotanda district.

Possible National Terror Level 3.

All researchers are to report to their stations...

...and stand-by for further instructions.

Directive from Headquarters.

Bombing case unfolding in the Gotanda district.

Possible National Terror Level 3.

All researchers are to report to their stations...

...and stand-by for further instructions.

Bring in all video feeds of the Gotanda district.

[IPS Traffic Science] [Section Head Iwabuchi Kiyoshi]

Show us video of the explosion.

Yes, sir.

If you look at the speed of the blast...

...it could be a hyperoxidized acetone TATP bomb.

This isn't the work of a pro.

It's possible that the perpetrator loves bombs.

Look at the video from the last 12 hours and identify anyone who looks suspicious.

Yes, ma'am.

The perpetrator has to be somewhere near-by.

Why do you think that?

Instinct.

Hey!

What are you doing?

Hurry up! Run!

Hello.

[MPD Riot Unit 1] [Search Team Leader Funada Tsutomu]

You...

You wouldn't be...

Freeze!

Put your hands behind your head!

Turn this way...slowly.

Slowly!

Slowly...

Slowly... Slowly...

Slowly, you say...

Come over here! Slowly...

Slowly, okay...

Directive from Headquarters.

A suspicious person in possession of a bomb has been apprehended near the bomb site.

The remaining 3 bombs within the target area have also been found.

They caught the criminal pretty fast, didn't they?

It wasn't worth the National Terror Level.

The police and forensics teams can handle this level of work.

That's wonderful, isn't it?

It seems that there weren't any fatalities either.

Kazune-chan, from today you're in the Neuroscience department, right?

Yes.

That's right.

I don't know what I'll be doing...

I don't really want to...

Oh! Natsume-san!

Please, transfer me back!

I don't know what to do in neuroscience.

If you want to go back, you have to pass a test. Hey! Bring it over here.

This style of bomb was used in a terror attack in Madrid in 2005.

If you don't disarm it within 80 hours...

...it's set up to spread your secrets to everyone!

What's up!

Hiya! Heads up!

'Sup! Heads up!

[IPS Offices and Research...] [The Cleaning Oneesan]

9+9?

Um... If you'd like, please, have some tea.

Please, have some.

Hot!

Forensics.

Yes, sir.

Oh, you got my fingerprints!

And DNA too!

What's your name?

Oh, I'm Tsukumo Ryuusuke.

- Tsukumo? - Yes.

It's written using the kanji numerals for 9, 10, 9, and then...

...you take the "no" out of "Akutagawa Ryuunosuke" to spell Ryuusuke...

I didn't ask for all that, did I?

What did those people do?

They're Yakuza who were running an illegal casino near here, and their customers.

We caught 'em when they all came running out scared from that bomb of yours.

It's not mine.

What d'ya mean it's not yours? Then what were you doing there?

Well, I...

I needed to use the bathroom, so then I went in that building...

...and then there was this thing that looked sorta like a bomb...

...and then it went boom...

This is not elementary school!

Both samples match.

Tsukumo Ryuusuke...

The fingerprints and DNA of the skin fragments we lifted off the bomb match yours.

Yes. I touched it here and there...

- Oh, then you admit it... - Detective.

The people in the next room who were picked up for the illegal casino...

When they were arrested, were they carrying money?

What?

Well, a casino means...

...that there was a large amount of money there, right?

Did they take the money with them when they ran?

Were they carrying any?

No.

So they panicked and ran. They didn't have the time, right?

In that case, there should still be a lot of money in their office...

Now that you mention it, there wasn't any money in the office either, right?

So they hid it somewhere in the office and ran because it'd look suspicious.

Really?

Would you really hide money in a place if you weren't sure if it would blow up or not?

That's true!

But I wonder if you really could hide it...

Ow! Ow...

Ow!

- Hayashida. - Yes, sir.

Why are you letting him lead you around like that?

I'm sorry, sir.

- Get an arrest warrant. - Yes, sir!

It'd be really heavy...

Tanbara-san...

Seems you exposed a casino in Gotanda, didn't you?

But we haven't received any notification or information.

Huh?

Cases involving organized crime...

...that's our job in the 4th Anti-Organized Crime Unit.

That case...

...we'd be pleased to take it over.

Do whatever you want.

If it was millions of yen...

...how many kilos would that be?

Wasn't it heavy?

Shouldn't you confess soon?

What?

It's you, isn't it?

...the person who set the bombs.

The perpetrator...

...placed a call saying, "I've set 5 bombs in Gotanda."

The first 2 were real.

The remaining 3 were dummies.

The perpetrator's real objective...

...was to force everyone to evacuate the area.

And, of course...

...the people in the casino would panic and run.

There was no time for them to take the money as they ran.

Run! Run!

We don't have time!

Here, take this!

After that...

...all the perpetrator had to do was sneak into the casino...

...and steal the money that was left behind.

Normally, anyone wandering around an area where an evacuation order had been issued...

...would be suspect...

But there are some people no one would be suspicious of, right?

For example...

...someone from the police?

And a policeman wouldn't seem strange even if you knew there was an illegal casino there...

That's all you have, and you'd make me a criminal?

There's one more thing.

You know...

The way you acted when you found me.

Slowly!

Slowly?

Slowly... Slowly...

Slowly, you say...

Come over here, slowly!

Slowly...

Well, normally...

When you realize..."Whoa! It's a bomb!"

The human brain...

...the amygdala reacts...

...it should have issued an order..."Run away! Right now!"

But you...

...kept telling me, "slowly..."

"...slowly," didn't you?

There was less than 5 minutes left...

...on a time bomb that was right in front of you, and you stayed strangely calm...

The bomb...

...was a fake...

...and you knew it.

Tanbara-san!

The arrest warrant will clear any moment.

Tsukumo Ryuusuke!

Yes, sir!

Oh. I've solved the crime.

What?

Well, um...It wasn't me...

Using just the left brain to think led to failure...

What's going on?

According to what he's told me so far...

...Funada-san has a large amount of debt. He set the bombs...

...placed a suspicious call to MPD, and, just as he planned, it became completely empty...

He sneaked into the casino...

...and stole about 65,000,000 yen.

I'm late!

Detective! Will you take me to IPS?

IPS?

Yes.

I'm supposed to study neuroscience at IPS starting today.

I...

...am a neuroscientist.

[Kimura Takuya]

[Ayase Haruka]

[Mizushima Hiro]

[Kagawa Teruyuki]

[Tanaka Yuji]

[Tortoise Matsumoto]

[Daichi Mao]

What is this?

Could it be some kind of message?

Alert all departments...emergency deployment.

The murderers said they have people in the police too...

If you show a suspect the scene of a crime and this part reacts...

...it's proof that no matter what they may say, they are the culprit.

This is a research facility for all disciplines of police science.

To be late on your first day...

...and to be mistaken for a criminal on top of that...

From now on, you must be more aware...

I told the police that I thought I was going to be late, but...

...they weren't...how would you say it...they weren't flexible at all. You know?

That person over there will be your assistant...

...Yuri Kazune-san.

He's so....handsome...

We don't have much time. Let's go.

I'm looking forward to working with you!

The National Research Institute of Police Science is a part of the National Police Agency...

...it's an organization at the cutting edge of research for criminal investigations.

'Sup.

We provide forensic analysis for every prefecture nation-wide...

...and train and guide forensic specialists.

You don't catch the criminals?

That's for the police in the field to do.

This is the Image Analysis Lab.

Funaki-san.

How many times will I have to tell you before you understand...

There is no eating or drinking allowed in here!

[IPS Image Analysis] [Section Head Funaki Junpei]

Here...

...we research ways to enhance and clarify footage from security cameras.

They are currently extracting the fingerprints from a convenience store robbery.

I'm sorry...

...may I see that part again?

What about it?

It's shoplifting.

- It's a robbery. - No, look, it's shoplifting.

In the center...

No, not there...

The mirror...the mirror up there.

This machine is amazing...

See?

That's amazing!

This lab specializes in voice-printing and voice analysis.

They're currently developing a system...

...that will allow us to determine age, place of birth, height, face shape and other details...

...from a suspect's voice.

Huh? Oh!

[IPS Voice Analysis] [Section Head Kanda Junichi]

This is the Chemical Research Lab.

It's their job to analyze explosives, poisons, and trace evidence.

This is the head of the department, Natsume-san.

- Your new boss? - Yes.

Wait! Don't touch that! It's dangerous!

Man that stinks!

This is the Biological Research Lab.

DNA testing, fingerprints, blood, and the like...

This lab specializes in identifying people.

Just the other day...

...a case that went cold decades ago was solved...

...as a result of their research.

Fingerprint confirmation, right?

Tsukumo-san.

There it is.

What is with this guy?

Whoa, there it is!

Wow! I'm already in the database?

It says he's got a record.

Oh, I know this one.

A record?

- DNA... - Tsukumo-san.

Yes?

Well...I just thought I'd take a sample...

Hey! Wait! Stop that!

- Hey! - Yes?

Cut it out.

And this is your lab.

Within the next 3 weeks...

...please submit a thesis, with appropriate documentation, detailing your subject of research.

The field of neuroscience is still quite undefined...

...but we're certain that it will assist in criminal investigations in the future.

We expect great things.

Well then...

The sea squirt was the first living organism to develop a brain.

Well, to be exact, it was the animal with the most simple nervous system, but...

Um...

My emphasis in college was Pharmacognosy...

...and, until yesterday, I worked under Natsume-san...

...but now...

...my mind is just full of things about the brain.

It must have been cramped in there, right, Musashi-kun?

Oh. Here we go, say hello

Okay. This is your new house.

He's...cute, isn't he?

Oh. That department head, Sasa-san...

The way she spoke was very...logical...wasn't it?

...like there was nothing wasted...

She's very smart.

No...

But using just her left brain like that...

...not using her right parietal lobe at all...

That type tends to get lost easily.

Tsukumo-san...you like this kind of girl?

Oh. I used to.

I'm not interested at all now...

...but I keep wondering, "why did I used to like this," so I keep it.

People's tastes change, don't they?

What is this?

You have a crush on someone, don't you...

Yes...

...I suppose I do...

If you put neuroscience to practical use...

...you can easily make the object of your affection reciprocate your feelings.

Okay.

Is it a man? Or, is it a woman?

The one on the right is a man, and the one on the left is a woman.

That's what you'd think, right? You'd think that, right? That's what you'd think, but actually this...

...is the result of taking pictures of a man and woman who look alike...

...cutting them in half...

...and matching them together. That's all.

In this picture, the left side is female and the right is male.

And in this picture, the left side is male and the right is female

All that was done was to cut them in half and switch them...

...but this picture is perceived as female...

...and this picture is perceived as male.

Why is that?

You want to know?

Yes.

You want to know?

Yes!

In the human brain, you see...

...things in the left field of vision are processed by the right brain...

...and things in the right field of vision are processed by the left brain.

The right brain is better at making decisions like, "is this male or female"...

...so if the left half is female, it will decide that it's a woman.

If the left half is male, then it will decide it's a man.

So, if you want a certain someone to notice your femininity or masculinity...

...you should try to stay in their left field of vision. Yay!

Wow...

Really?

And it might be good to be meticulous with the make-up on your right side.

What are you doing?

Nothing...

Oh!

Oh...

Oh dear...

What should I do...

Do you have hemorrhoids?

What?

There's no need to hide it.

- Actually... - No! No...

- Half of hemorrhoids patients are female... - No, that's not it...

I get off at 5, so if you could hold this...

Um...

She certainly does things her own way, doesn't she?

Whoa.

What is it?

H-hey...

I don't think you'll get far.

Akemi-san's in pretty high demand.

Yeah, I can tell...

She's coming this way...

What?

Her?

She's super cute, isn't she?

Damn it!

Stop!

Please, don't!

What is this...

Thank you for coming.

The victim is Nakano Shuuzo-san.

He is the undersecretary of the Ministry of Industrial Development.

Someone very important and influential has been killed here...

Family?

They're abroad on a trip...

...so he was here alone.

Are... Are there any witnesses?

We don't know of any at this time.

However, around the time of the crime...

...someone saw a delivery truck leaving in a hurry.

Then, that might mean that the murderer got in here disguised as a delivery person...

That...

...seems to have been written in the victim's blood.

Could it be...some kind of message?

The same figure has been drawn over here too.

What is it?

I hate scenes like this, all theatrical...

And...

...if you'll look at this.

There are signs that it was forced open.

Have you found anything?

There are prints that might be the perpetrator's.

We're in the middle of comparing them with data from prior offenders.

Yes, hello?

What?

There's been another murder.

Here you go. Have seconds.

Are you new here?

You really eat a lot in the mornings, don't you?

While you sleep, your blood sugar level plummets.

So, breakfast...

...is essential for activating the brain.

Men who eat a lot...

...are lovely.

It's another official from the Ministry of Industrial Development.

Director of Planning, Honma Eisuke-shi.

And then, there's this...

Tanbara-san!

This is...

It-it's the same as the one at the other scene, isn't it...

Alert all departments...

...emergency deployment.

The murder victims are the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Industrial Development...

...Nakano Shuuzo, age 52...

And from the same office, Director of Planning...

...Honma Eisuke, age 59.

Lately, both parties...

...have been making efforts to abolish bid-rigging in public works projects.

Management deteriorates because of bid-rigging...

...and many small to medium sized construction companies are pushed into bankruptcy.

In this case...

...it is likely that this is an act of terrorism by parties who resent them for their efforts.

Iida-kun. The forensics results.

Yes, sir.

The results of the forensic analysis are as follows...

From the safe at the first site...

...we were able to collect fingerprints which we believe to be the murderer's.

When we compared them to those of people with prior offenses...

...they were found to match those of the director of Tsuchida Construction, Tsuchida Goichi, age 60.

However...

...this Tsuchida was arrested 2 weeks ago for drunkenly assaulting a police officer.

At the time of the crime...

...it has been confirmed that he was in Tokyo Prison.

The fingerprints of a guy in jail...were at the scene?

Furthermore...

...the data and evidence photos are being sent to IPS as we speak.

It may seem as if we are going to extraordinary lengths...

...but because of the highly unique nature of this case...

...I have requested a thorough forensic investigation.

Sasa-san!

We will send 2 of our investigators to you.

That is the end of the case briefing.

Nanba-san and Oouchi-san...

...you will re-examine the bodies, fingerprints from the scenes, and trace evidence.

Funaki-san and Namiko-san...

...please analyze the symbols left at the crime scenes.

Yes, ma'am

- With that... - Excuse me!

Yes?

In short, this is...

...teleportation, right?

Is there any prior research on teleportation?

With that...

Ow! Ow..

Who did that?

Who was it?

Who did that?

That hurt...

They're small, but there seem to be skin fragments...

The victim might've tried to fight back.

If, for argument's sake, the murderer painted this using the victim's blood...

...the murderer probably has a very strong hatred towards the victim.

Is it some sort of mark?

For now, we're looking among religious groups and other organizations.

- How's it going? - Oh, you're here...

This way.

The results should appear in a moment.

This shows that the skin fragments under the victim's fingernails also matches Tsuchida.

According to this analysis...

...the likelihood that he is not the perpetrator...

...is 1000 trillion to 1.

No...but...that's impossible, right?

I mean...Tsuchida was in jail when the crime was committed, right?

Humans may lie, but DNA does not.

This conclusion is based on the results of forensic analysis on the evidence you've brought so far.

You should look for the missing murder weapon, and investigate Tsuchida himself.

But...

...how will we figure out the crime that way?

Well, investigating that...

...is your job, isn't it?

Thank you for your cooperation...

In regards to the serial murder of members of the Ministry of Industrial Development...

Undersecretary Nakano Shuuzo and Director of Planning, Honma Eisuke, have been...

His profile, as he glances upwards...

...is like a Grecian sculpture...

His long, agile fingers...

Right now, with those beautiful fingers...

...he is beautifully...

...peeling a banana.

And now...

...he brings just the tip of it to his lips, and takes a tiny bite...

He wraps the rest neatly in its peel...

...and gently...

...he places it on the desk.

Do you have dry eye?

No.

There is some news in this world that I just don't want to watch...

It really is terrible, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

There's someone at the door.

I am so very sorry for what happened yesterday.

It's just...Your abilities, sensei...

...I was truly, deeply moved by them.

If you'd like...

Criminal Investigations...

- Rinda Toranosuke... - It's read Hayashida...

- That's a nice name. - No, it's...

Whoa... what...

- Musashi? - What is...

Musashi!

Musashi...

Do you like her?

What?

Oh...no, no...

Um...

The truth is, I...

...I came here without telling my boss, Tanbara.

About the Ministry of Industrial Development cases...

The fingerprints and DNA left at the scene...

...were found to be a match with a man who's in jail...

Oh! That teleportation-ish thing...

That's right! That's the one...

About that Tsuchida person...

...he was the manager of a small construction company...

...because of the reformation of bid-rigging, he was pushed to the edge of bankruptcy.

So...since Tanbara-san and I felt he had more than enough motive, we went to see him.

I thought you would come, Detective.

I am the murderer.

I can walk though walls at will, and kill anyone.

Very soon...

The next victim will appear.

Walk through walls?

Is it possible to walk through walls?

Are you all right?

- I'm sorry... - It's all right.

- Hello? - Hayashida, where are you?

No, this is Tsukumo.

You write it 99...

What?

Why are you answering his phone?

Well, Rinda-kun came to me...

He asked for my help because his investigation is stuck.

- Hey, wait... - What?

Hello?

Hayashida!

What are you trying to pull? Huh?

I'm very very sorry. I'll come back immediately!

He...

He hung up!

Why did you do that?

I said I came here without telling Tanbara-san, didn't I?

That's why I thought it might be a good idea to tell him...

...but, um..more importantly...

...that man, Tsuchida...

...can I meet him?

What?

Well because...you see...because...

Which part of the brain has to work...

...in order to walk through walls?

I'd like to investigate that.

Ow...

It can't be possible...

- What... Tsukumo-san, why are you so close... - No, it's on 1, 2...

- That tickles! - Start on the right...

Oh! Stop it... stop...

I'm sorry!

I don't get you at all...

Well then...

Please, feel free...

- What are you doing? - I'm sorry...

It doesn't matter who comes.

I can walk through these walls.

Very soon...the next victim will appear.

I'm from IPS. My name's Tsukumo.

You write it using the kanji numerals for 9, 10, 9...

It doesn't matter who comes...

Will you participate in an experiment?

What?

Walking through walls...

...I'd like to see it.

We'll open the door again in 10 minutes.

Please walk through the walls before that.

That will be simple.

Tsukumo-san?

Tsukumo-san?

Do you really think he'll be able to walk through the walls and get out?

Well...

...we have to test him and see.

If he can do it...that's just amazing!

Hey, Mr. Brain...

...10 minutes are up.

He really can get out!

That's not possible...

No..wait...just wait...

He's right here.

I'm sorry.

Today, my physical strength...

Physical strength? I see.

Quit fooling around!

People are dying!

This is not a game!

Well, that experiment was pointless, wasn't it?

Not really, because with this, one possibility has been eliminated.

Leave the rest to us. Sensei, please feel free to withdraw from the investigation.

It's IPS's job to collect data after all.

Oh!

That's right...

This here...

Why was the safe forced open?

Probably because there's something inconvenient for the criminal in it?

In that case, wouldn't it be better to just take the safe?

It takes time to force open a safe...

...and you don't know who might come in.

That's true...

Maybe the murderer...

...forced the safe open to deliberately show the police Tsuchida-san's fingerprints...

What? What do you mean?

The murderer had accomplices.

Those accomplices...

...got a safe ready, in advance, that was identical to the one in that room.

They made Tsuchida-san force it open...

...in order to leave Tsuchida-san's fingerprints on it.

After that, Tsuchida-san deliberately assaulted a police officer...

...and was arrested.

With that, he had the perfect alibi, right?

Then the murderer killed the victim...

...and the safe in that room...

...was switched with the fake safe with Tsuchida-san's fingerprints on it.

But...what about the skin fragments and hair?

They must have collected it in advance and left it at the scene, right?

DNA analysis is absolute.

...but it won't tell you how the evidence got there.

You two found Tsuchida-san via the DNA testing.

But Tsuchida-san claimed...

...that he could walk through the prison walls in order to kill his victims.

...and that's completely impossible...

But, if it went well...

...the case would go unsolved...

...wouldn't it...

Huh? That's amazing!

Does being an egghead mean you write mystery novels too?

I'm not playing around either...

Oh!

What if Tsuchida-san's left brain was made to work harder than his right brain?

Please, be very careful...

What's he mean, "left brain?"

Who asked you to tell those lies?

I don't really know that myself...

What?

Well...a little more than 2 weeks ago...

...when I went to the company alone, at night...

A group of men I didn't know burst in.

They blindfolded me and took me somewhere with them...

There is 50,000,000 yen here.

If you do as we say, we'll put this in your account.

Without prearranging the bidding, your company's on the verge or bankruptcy, isn't it?

You want to punish the people that did this to you, don't you?

So you just did as they told you, huh?

Yes.

While I was there, they had me force open a safe.

Then they told me to assault a police officer...

...get arrested...

...and if something happened...

...to say that I...

...to insist that I was the perpetrator.

- You don't have any idea? - No...

And...

...if I did say anything, they'd kill me...

Don't worry. We'll protect you.

They said...

...that they have police on their side too.

What?

And I have no proof...

...that you aren't a part of them...do I?

I see.

Have you ever seen this before?

Like, maybe it's their mark or something?

Don't know.

Tsuchida-san! Anything will help.

Isn't there anything to go on? Anything at all?

At this rate, the next victim...

Now that you mention it...

...they said a name...something like Doiken...

Something like Doiken?

Yes.

Ministry of Industrial Development, Doi Kenzo. That's it!

All right!

I heard you met with the suspect.

That kind of thing...

...isn't something we do here at IPS.

That's the battery, right?

How was it? The person who walks through walls?

He wasn't anything like I hoped he'd be.

Um...what do you think about making the ultimate lie detector?

Sorry?

The theme for your research.

You were told to submit a report, weren't you?

Oh...

The brainwaves of a person who's lying...

...and those of a person telling the truth. If we can discern the difference between the two...

...I think we could make the best...

You can do that pretty easily.

- What? - Actually...

...you can figure it out without looking at brainwaves.

In the human brain...

...when a person lies, the left brain works really hard.

In order to make sure the lie is consistent...

...it references memories...

...and must work in a very logical manner.

The left brain controls the right field of vision.

So...

...when people tell lies, they unconsciously look up and to the right.

Really?

While I was gone, you were doing something else, weren't you?

No I wasn't...

There! See? You looked up and to the right.

No I didn't.

When people see something, or someone, they've seen even once before...

...this part here...

...the parahippocampal gyrus, reacts.

In short...if you show a suspect the scene of a crime and this part reacts...

...it's proof that no matter what they may say, they are the culprit.

Oh no! Natsume-san left me a bomb...

I've made a huge mistake...

Are you trying to say that I'm one of the criminals?

He's a victim! They tried to kill him!

Humans can lie using words...

...but the brain can't.

You are the owner of a splendid brain.

Thank you to furransu for initial timing!

GIRIGIRI FANSUBS NOT FOR SALE OR RENT

It's true...

I've done many harsh things in my efforts to abolish bid-rigging...

But...

...to be told that I'm the next target...

Starting now, we'll have you under 24 hour guard.

What about my family?

Understood...

To lose Undersecretary Nakano and Director Honma...

...it's a great loss for our country.

When the murders occurred...

...Komine and I were in Sanjogawara in Tsugaru on a business trip.

We went to do a surprise inspection of the redevelopment around the Sanjogawara train station.

When I saw the news...

...both of us were stunned, weren't we?

Yes, we were.

For people who are doing the right thing to be killed...

For the sake of the two who have died as well...

...arrest the murderer...

...as quickly as you can.

Hayashida.

Yes?

Can I have a minute?

The Organized Crime Division?

The Organized Crime Division?

Wow...

Yes.

The head of Organized Crime, Takei-san...

...says he knows of a group that's been behaving oddly.

It wouldn't be strange for organized crime to be involved in bid-rigging either, right?

Right?

Tsukumo-san...

...what do you think?

I'd like to hear what Takei-san has to say, don't you?

Organized Crime Division!

Wow!

[Doi Kenzo's Residence]

Takei-san!

From Anti-Organized Crime, Unit 4, Takei-san.

I'm Takei.

Thank you for the other day.

Oh, um..

...I'm Tsukumo, from IPS.

Tsukumo?

In kanji numerals it's written 9, 10, 9.

I'm his assistant, Yuri Kazune.

Welcome.

May I take your order?

Sweet things are good for making your brain work.

Neurons can only derive energy from sugars, so you have to make sure to replenish...

I don't eat anything sweet.

What?

Hmm...well then...

Um...

A large cream anmitsu for this man here.

Coming right up.

I said I don't eat anything sweet...didn't I?

So you have to eat to make up for it.

I see.

Um...

Tsukumo-sensei has really helped us a lot on this case...

And he was very interested in what you have to say about organized crime...

No. What I'm interested in is you.

I was wondering what kind of person you are...

There was an illegal casino found in the bombing incidents, wasn't there?

What happened with that?

Here you are. Thank you for waiting.

You were in charge of it, right?

There wasn't enough evidence, so they got a suspended sentence.

What? Really?

Yes.

At any rate...there was no evidence that they were betting with money.

If we'd been the ones to do the investigation from the beginning...

...it wouldn't have turned out this way.

I had no idea...

More importantly...

This case...

They said they have people in the police too...

I thought about it but...

...if I were the murderer...

...what is it that I would want to do?

I'd probably pretend to help the investigation...

...because I'd want to know how much information the police had. Don't you think?

And if I was gonna do it, I'd probably approach the lowest ranking policeman I could find...

Hey... Tsukumo-san!

Are you saying I'm one of the criminals?

You seem to have eaten quite a lot, haven't you?

Wow...you were really using your left brain there, huh?

That part's probably lit up bright red.

What is it?

Oh, that's right.

You have to give me a logical rebuttal now.

Once I tried eating it...

...I found it tasted pretty good.

Takei-san!

He's not angry.

What?

If he really was angry...

...he'd have dragged you out with him and beaten you black and blue.

Just as you said...

There've been bad rumors about Takei for a long time.

People wonder if he's taking money for tipping off the yakuza to raids.

Let's pay another visit to Tsuchida.

Yes, sir.

But the director isn't in any condition to...

I understand.

I will consult with him.

It seems there's a problem at the riverside plant in Tsunashima.

They desperately want you to come.

I understand.

But, Director...

Don't worry.

The police plan to stay close, to guard me.

Understood. Then I'll come too.

I'm sorry, Komine-kun...

My wife...

...I don't want to leave her home alone.

Will you stay with her...

...until I return?

Please, be careful.

What are those?

I'm activating my right brain.

Hey!

Huh?

I can only see out the left side!

I know I've said this before, but...

...the right brain controls the left field of vision.

That's why if you wear those it activates the right brain.

Oh no!

It's this time already?

If you've got a date or something, you can leave.

- That's not it! - What is it...

Natsume-san left me a bomb.

If I don't disarm it within the next 10 minutes...

...something terrible will happen!

I know of one way to disarm any bomb.

Really?

One minute before it explodes...give it back to the person who set it.

That won't work!

It's not that it's really going to explode...

It's just that something...really bad will happen.

May I see it?

Yes.

- Oh, here... - What?

Oh!

It was this?

Wait...Wait!

It's still counting down!

It's not "still counting down"...

It's doing that because you flipped the switch.

This is a "double layer trap," isn't it?

There's a super obvious "disarming" switch..

...and because you flipped it...

...the real detonator was activated, and now we're out of time.

You should've told me that first!

What are you going to do?

That stupid Sasa... She doesn't understand anything...

Natsume-san...please let me come back...

I don't wanna do neuroscience!

I wanna do real science.

It's already been decided. I can't... Hey... give that...

Natsume-san, can I?

Send this guy to neuroscience...

Why do I have to do it...

Who?

This is all lies!

Wait! Wait just a second..

Tsukumo-san?

The scene of the first murder...

...please take me there.

When they took you to their office, did you see any of these guys?

Oh... Yes. I'm sure I saw him.

Takei-san...

And this person...

He's from the Kawashima-gumi...

It's no good. Takei-san isn't picking up.

Detective Takei's current location is...

He's traveling on Nakahara-kaidou...300 meters south of the 2-cho-me intersection.

- Thank you. - He's headed for Director Doi's house.

May I?

That's it!

What?

Can you get in touch with Rinda-kun?

Thank you for doing this, Komine-san...

The police are outside guarding after all...

...I would have been fine.

Not at all... The director said he wanted me to, more than anything.

Did you hear something?

I'll go look.

Hello?

The Doi's house exploded?

What?

Dammit!

Tanbara-san! That was Takei-san's car!

After him!

It's dangerous! Please stand back!

Doi-san!

It was supposed...to be me...

...Sakie...

...and Komine-kun...

What were you...

...what were you doing?

Answer me...

He's gone in to see the Kawashima-gumi...

I knew it.

Oh! He finally picked up.

Hayashida-san!

Hello?

I made a huge mistake. Where are you now?

Director Doi's house exploded.

But Takei-san was the murderer after all.

- What? No... - We're starting the raid now.

- Hayashida! - Yes, sir.

- Bye. - No. Wait...

Please, wait...

What?

Detective Hayashida's location?

I'm not a handyman, you know...

I'll leave it to you.

Excuse me. Sorry.

Excuse me. I'm sorry.

Huh?

What?

Oh no...that's not right!

Tanbara-san!

Tanbara-san!

Don't worry.

The case will be solved momentarily.

These guys, the Kawashima-gumi, were behind it all.

Um...

Tanbara-san... What are you trying to do here?

Ask yourself that.

You...

- Take him away! - Yes, sir!

Um, Tanbara-san... It's not...

I'm sure you know...

...what this means.

Tanbara-san...

No...um...

You've got it wrong...

These people aren't the murderers.

What?

No...well...I...

...I made a huge mistake...

Wait...

...how can you say that now?

What do you mean "a mistake?"

I trusted you, didn't I?

Yes...

Do you think "I made a mistake" is gonna cut it?

Huh?

Hey!

Shall we move on?

If you wanted to...feed incorrect information to the police...

...what do you think would be the best way?

If you just walked nonchalantly up to the police...

...and said, "it's this," no one would believe you, right?

So...

...you could wrap the information you wanted them to have in a puzzle...

...and have the other person solve it.

And then...

...the information you uncovered yourself...

...you'd end up believing it was true.

It's a double-layer trap.

...just like a bomb.

You give someone something they think will disarm the trap...

...and they're actually flipping the real detonator switch.

So that means that everything Tsuchida said...

...was made up?

That's right.

So...the fingerprints on that safe...

...and the walking through walls...

...they had us figure them out.

So you and I believed what he said and they lead us in completely...

...the wrong direction in our investigation.

Then...

Then who is the murderer?

All of the answers can be found at the first scene.

Ah...Stop!

All of the people who come in here...look at this symbol first.

And then, after that...

...they look at these symbols.

What about it?

The murderer was trying to get you to view them in that order.

He wanted to plant a preconception in your mind...

What?

Try saying "kaeru" 10 times in a row.

What?

If you would.

I'm not saying it.

- Please. - I'm not saying it.

- I'm not saying it! - Ready and...

Kaeru!

Kaeru!

Kaeru...

Kaeru...kaeru...kaeru...

Kaeru! Kaeru...kaeru...kaeru...

- How many times was that? - 7 times?

You're supposed to be counting....

I'm done, Sensei.

Huh? With what?

Kaeru. I said it 10 times.

What's a big tadpole?

A frog. (Kaeru)

Beep.

Incorrect.

A big tadpole...

Is still a tadpole.

Ding ding! Correct.

That's...That's just stupid!

With the human brain there's something called priming...

What you saw and what you did...

...influence the next thing you do. It just happens.

When everyone first saw this symbol...

...they thought it might be some kind of message from the murderer...

...they thought it might be some kind of mark.

Then, after that...

...when they saw these symbols...

...they couldn't understand their true meaning.

This is...

...something the victim tried to write for us.

In the pictures from evidence...

...there's a large area where the luminol reacted.

We can tell there was a bloodstain.

Probably...

...the victim was eventually cornered here, and the final blow was struck.

But...while the murderer was switching the safes...

...he tried, at death's door, to write a message.

I believe that a pennant used to hang here.

See... You can see where push-pins left holes...

...right here.

And in the blood spatter...

...you can see the outline of a pennant, can't you?

You can!

When the murderer realized how damning what had been written was...

...he knew he had to erase it...

...he tore the pennant down.

And, so that the area didn't stand out, he wiped down the whole bloodstain.

Then the murderer...

...in order to obscure the meaning of these symbols...

...he deliberately drew a similar symbol for us.

What symbols were the victim trying to...

These aren't symbols...they're letters.

What?

But...we can't understand from just this.

No. It'll be fine. The human brain is very well made.

I'm sorry...

When we were all monkeys...

...from the tops of the trees we could look through the leaves and just from the shape...

...we could tell if it was friend or foe.

So...

If we look from the same perspective as the victim...

...and go like this...

[Doi]

Doi?

That's right.

On the verge of death, he wrote his murderer's name.

So that means the murderer...is Doi-san?

Yes.

That's ridiculous!

He's a victim! They tried to kill him!

But...he wasn't killed.

No...but...

It isn't possible for Doi-san to have committed the crime.

Because...when Nakano-san and Honma-san were killed...

...he was on business in Tsugaru.

That's right! That man, his secretary Komine confirmed it.

...Komine and I were in Sanjogawara in Tsugaru on a business trip.

Um...

Why did the two of you ask for Doi-san's alibi?

...he wasn't a suspect.

We didn't ask him!

He just told us...

He wanted to tell us...

...that he had an alibi?

Probably...while Komine-san was still alive...

Damn it...

This isn't enough to prove that Doi was the murderer!

In that case...

...what if we investigated inside Doi-san's brain?

Is he the murderer...

...or isn't he? The thing that knows...

...after all is said and done...

...is the murderer's brain after all.

Tsukumo-san!

Oh...you can go now.

What do you mean, "you can go now?"

I tried everything...

...and I was finally able to get this one lab.

What are you going to use this for?

Oh...no metal...

After you...

What are you trying to do?

Why are you treating me like a criminal?

Well...

...that's what we're about to test.

This way please.

Oh... Humans can lie using words...

...but the brain can't lie.

Doi-san...

...we'll have you lie here...

...and we'll show you pictures of the murder scenes.

If there is a picture of a place you have seen...

...a place in your brain, the parahippocampal gyrus, will react...

...and point it out to us.

You're going to base whether a person is a criminal or not...on that?

My wife was murdered!

Tsukumo-san! That's still in the research phase...

That's right... You can't just...

Um...

You don't really mind, do you?

Let's do it.

All right...

I'm looking forward to seeing what the results are too.

However...

Don't forget...

...that there was never any point to this experiment.

Okay then, lie down.

You can watch the images through this with either eye, right or left, it doesn't matter.

All right, let's go...

Let's go...

Can you hear me?

Uh...yes.

I'm going to show you crime scene photos of where Nakano-san and Honma-san were killed.

Please tell us whether you have any recollection of them or not.

We'll start with Nakano-san's.

This is it. The parahippocampal gyrus.

The fMRI is currently compiling data...

Compiling data...

If this turns red, it means he remembers the place.

What do you think?

This place...

...is a place I've seen before.

Your brain's response shows the same.

But...I mean...

...as his colleague, I've been over to Nakano-san's house a number of times.

It's only natural that I remember the place.

I see.

Next, I'll show you pictures of the area around the scene of Honma-san's murder.

I've never...seen these places before...

Really?

Yes.

Your brain is giving that response as well.

That means...

...this shows that I'm not the murderer, right?

Neuroscience has proved it, hasn't it...

Then...

Oh!

I'm sorry, I made a mistake...

The pictures I showed you just now...

...they weren't pictures of the location of Honma-san's murder.

They were pictures of Sanjogawara in Tsugaru.

You know...

When Nakano-san and Honma-san were killed...

...Doi-san...

...you said you'd gone away on business, gone there...

But just now...

...you said you'd never seen that place before, didn't you?

Doi-san?

You just admitted that your alibi is nothing but lies...

You're saying I...

...I fell for a trap?

Well, you set a trap for us first, didn't you, Doi-san?

At the crime scene...

...there wasn't a single piece of material evidence that pointed to you as the killer.

It was quite an education in forensic investigation.

You are the owner of a splendid brain.

However...

...that brain could not tell a lie.

That's amazing!

That's really incredible!

Why're you applauding?

Science is so nice isn't it, Sensei.

It's all black and white.

The world I was in was all shades of grey.

Good and evil...

...no matter where you went, you couldn't tell the difference.

Go request...

...an arrest warrant.

Yes, sir.

Shall we go?

Doi confessed to everything.

He pretended to be against bid-rigging...

...then secretly took money from general contractors in exchange for bidding information.

Nakano-san and Honma-san were both killed because they found out.

So his alibi was a lie after all, wasn't it?

Yes.

Doi told his secretary Komine-san that his wife suspected he was cheating on her...

...and asked him to say that they'd gone on a business trip to Tsugaru.

Komine-san didn't think it was a very big lie, so in front of me and Tanbara-san...

...he corroborated the story.

So then Doi-san killed Komine-san.

And his alibi was perfect.

What about his wife?

She probably knew what Doi-san was doing, don't you think?

Takei-san had nothing to do with this case.

He thought the Kawashima-gumi seemed suspicious, so he was investigating in his own way.

And he was actually worried for Doi-san...

You really think so?

It's just, well... I feel like he's got his own huge secret...

I'd really like to investigate it sometime...

...what's inside his brain...

They say...this case was solved because of that Tsukumo guy, right?

Yes.

I was shocked.

When I first met him I thought he was so strange...

You don't get it, do you?

It's not our job to do that kind of stuff.

Finding the criminal investigation techniques of the future...

...that's IPS.

- Good work. - Good work!

Where did Tsukumo-sensei go...

Oh!

Hm?

Over there!

What is he doing over there?

Idiot!

I collected a hair sample from him...

...and did a DNA analysis.

What were the results?

They were a little odd.

Do you do that to everyone?

How was mine?

It must have shown my greatness...

You'll go bald.

...completely...in the next 3 years.

You should be sure to tell your boss how things are done.

Tell him not to get involved in cases any more than necessary.

But...

Why?

I just don't get it...

How is Tsukumo-kun doing?

I think that neuroscience is a field that will be necessary to the field of criminal investigation...

However...

...I'm not sure whether he's suited to this organization or not...

I think he's fun.

This is an MRI of your brain.

In the accident, you sustained extensive damage to the prefrontal area.

But you've recovered wonderfully.

The part of your brain that escaped damage...

...is working hard enough to compensate for the damaged areas.

No...

...it might be doing even more than that.

The results of the IQ test and visual test we gave you...

...show higher readings than we've ever seen.

Have you experienced anything strange since the accident?

Something about this?

It seems that...before the accident...I loved this, but...

...now I have no interest in it at all...

It might be the effect of the injury to your prefrontal cortex.

Um...

If the inside of my brain changes...

...can you say that I'm still who I was before?

Of course you are.

After the accident, he went back to college...

...and he studied neuroscience.

In a mere 5 years...

...he's made tremendous contributions to the field.

Probably...

...what he wants to know about most of all...

...is himself.

But...

If Tsukumo-sensei wasn't here...the murderer would have been...

Rather than catching one criminal at one scene...

...he should be working so that 100 criminals can be caught in the future.

...if he's really a scientist.

Well...he should just do what he's supposed to do is what I'm saying.

Right?

You have something you want to say?

I don't understand.

What's so cute about this girl?

What is it that people see that makes them think it's cute? That makes them want to protect it?

What do they see that makes them feel irritated? What are they looking at...

...that makes them want to crush it?

I want to know about people.

...from Jesus Christ to Jack the Ripper...

In order to do that...I have to meet them...

In order to do that...I have to catch them...

What do you want to know?

I want to know that too.

That's right...

Instead of hikkoshi-soba...

Carbohydrates are essential for manual labor after all...

...and it won't get your hands dirty...

Pretty nice of me, right?

Banana...

What's with him?

Who does he think he is?

I don't get it!

I will be called back from the dead.

I will kill you...

...I will come...

...to eat of your flesh.

I...

...will be reborn...

If the murderer was a different person...

It can only be a ghost!

I will be reborn.

[A dead murderer, reborn!?]

Why are Takegami's fingerprints there? He's supposed to be dead!

[And the next victim...!!]

The murderer is still here in this room.

Don't open the door to anyone!

You've really been come back from the dead?

There's something very strange about this.

That's not scientific.

I will never forgive that man.

She withstood heartless slander!

You've killed them all, haven't you.

He really came back to life?

That's it.
