To Hear

Funeral for Shirai Saeko

I'm sorry for the loss. - Thank you.

I'll accept this.

Please sign in.

May I help you? - Don't "may I help you" me!

Hurry up and submit your report on the shooting two days ago!

Where are you right now?

I'm in the hallway.

Please go back to our department and look at my schedule board.

It has "funeral" written on it.

Funeral?

My senior in college pole sword club passed away.

Pole sword...

I apologize.

Misa!

I haven't see you since graduation.

Yukari!

What a way for a reunion...

Penmax?

It's the company Shirai worked at.

It's a start-up that does data recovery.

I thought Shirai joined a big corporation after graduation?

I heard she was headhunted.

The person at registration mentioned it.

Work relations

They look like her associates from work.

Really.

Misa.

Sato! - Long time no see.

Did you hear?

That it was a suicide.

What?

Suicide?

I heard she slit her wrist in the bath tub.

Thank you for coming. - Yeah.

Thank you. Please sign in the book.

Why did she do such a thing?

She was dumped by her lover.

She had an affair?

I overheard her coworkers whispering about it.

Who was it with?

Apparently the president of Penmax.

So with her boss? - Shhh.

Mr. President.

Thank you for the trouble.

Mr. President.

Okay.

It's him.

Penmax. Hayami Tatsurou

You want to break up?

Yeah.

What?

What's the matter sir?

Who is it?

What's going on?

Shirai-kun...

Please stop.

Sir?

Please stop it.

Sir?

Stop!

Sir!

Mr. President!

It'll be fine, so please stay as you are, and keep calm.

What was that?

It was scary.

The body found in the Tokyo Bay this morning

was that of Hayami Tatsurou, president of a company in Oota District.

Oh, they were able to identify him.

Beef stew.

It appears that Hayami committed suicide by jumping into the bay.

Suicide?

Mapo tofu.

I wonder if he was under a lot of stress.

Tororo soba.

Kuribayashi-san -

do we have any cooking books here?

Oh! Professor Yukawa, it's her!

That cop with an attitude!

Ah. - He was respected by his employees

She's looking serious here.

She's just putting on an act in front of the camera.

You pretender!

Why did you turn it off?

You dislike her, right?

I can bad mouth her all I want right now, without her firing back.

Are you thinking that I'm such a small person?

Not that much. - But you did a little...

Kuribayashi-san. - It's fine, I thought so myself too.

Do we have a cook book... - But I...

want to accept myself the way I am.

If I accept the fact that I'm a small human being, I won't get stressed.

And I won't jump into the ocean either.

So many good things come from it, how fun!

I'm going on my break.

Nameko mushroom soup.

Drowned to death.

Have you ever read "No Longer Human", Kishitani-san?

The author Osamu Dazai is amazing.

Is this really just from drowning?

Dazai threw himself into Tama River and died -

with his lover.

Lover?

This Hayami, he also had a lover.

Maybe he wanted to be like Dazai too.

It's not like he can't swim.

Why would someone who swims at the gym every week drown himself?

I see.

Can a person who's able to swim persevere underwater until one dies?

Someone witnessed him jumping in, right?

There are three.

Suicide isn't something you do with perseverance or will power.

You feel like something has you on the edge, and you jump.

On the edge...

Shall we take a tea break?

To tell you the truth, this Hayami-san...

We have testimony from an employee -

that he had been hearing voices that had him on edge.

Voices?

When I saw him at the funeral -

that's exactly what it seemed like.

Audio hallucinations. One hears improbable sounds or voices.

Audio hallucinations?

There are several things that can cause this.

Several?

For example...

How stylish.

Isn't this that thing -

where you don't have an assigned desk, and are free to work where ever you like.

This is so awesome.

Thank you for waiting.

This way please.

Wow, this is yet again so stylish.

Could you wait here for a short while? - Yes.

Please help yourselves to drinks and such.

Thank you.

Wow, this...

Is this all free? How amazing!

I'll just have some coffee.

Why me? I'm your senior.

The police are here, and have some questions regarding president Hayami.

The police?

Are you all right, Kayama-san?

Yeah.

Here.

Does this case really need an investigation?

I know it's two consecutive deaths within the same company -

both were suicides.

According to my instincts, something bothers me.

Especially Hayami-san's death.

"According to my instincts"?

A newbie like you, "According to my instincts"?

Hello? This is Kishitani.

What's a dish that's thick? - Huh?

I want to explain the coefficient of kinematic viscosity of molecules -

to my students comparing it to cooking -

I can't think of a good example.

Professor Yukawa -

I want to explain how viscosity is "nu" equals "l" times "c".

"Nu" is kinematic viscosity, "l" is the distance between molecules -

and "c" is the speed of the molecules in liquid -

Kayama-san?

What the?

Kayama-san!

Take, for example, a beverage like chocolate milk -

the distance between molecules... - I'm busy right now!

Stop it!

What's wrong?

I said shut up!

Please calm down!

Shut up!

Shall I hold?

Shirai-kun, I have nothing to do with this.

There's no reason for you to hold a grudge against me!

Kayama-san. Kayama-san!

Kishitani!

Stay still. - Are you okay?

Don't worry, I have arresting techniques mastered.

Ow!

Someone call an ambulance! - An ambulance!

Ambulance!

Are you okay?

My butt... I have a hole in my butt!

Galileo 2 Episode 3

Subtitles by DramaFever

Misa...

Are you all right?

My butt hurts.

Of course it does.

You poor thing, to get stabbed.

I had my butt exposed and stitched up. And it was a young male doctor.

It was just two stitches. - My butt exposed to a guy...

I guess it would be hard for you, you haven't had much exposure to men.

That has nothing to do with it.

Misa has zero experience with love. - It's not zero.

Oh, there was one, that guy in the law department.

Nakajima-kun! - Yeah, Nakajima-kun!

Ended without confessing her feelings. - Yeah.

Hey! - No, she was rejected on Valentine's day.

Stop it! - She said things she didn't need to.

Like how she got her chocolate on clearance.

And how it was just a friendship gift. - You don't have to talk about this.

Misa always speaks so bluntly to everyone -

but her personality changes in front of the person she likes.

She changes so much! She beats around around the bushes so much -

you can't even understand what she's saying.

Enough already, stop it! Ow!

It hurts!

Kishitani-san.

Let me see you butt.

Handsome. - Even worse.

We'll get going now. - See you, Misa.

Don't come here anymore.

Pardon me.

Can I take a look?

Oh, it looks fine now.

You'll be able to go home tomorrow.

But it still hurts.

You'll be fine.

I'll prescribe you painkillers.

Take care.

Are you crying?

Professor Yukawa?

We're not particularly close, but -

I had to pay you a visit after hearing you'd been stabbed.

How long have you been here?

But if you're getting discharged tomorrow, perhaps I didn't need to come.

You can enjoy this at home.

Why a peach?

No reason.

Anyway, you were lucky.

The butt is just muscle, and has no vital organs.

Getting stabbed with a box cutter would only leave you with a minor scar.

Take care then.

Professor!

This is a curse.

President Hayami, Kayama-san, and now me.

All of us have been cursed by Shirai.

She used to keep an eye on me for being impudent.

I'm sure there's going to be more victims.

Take care of yourself.

Professor!

Professor!

I heard you were stabbed in the butt?

Shirai...

Shirai Saeko and president Hayami's affair went on for about three years -

until Mr. Hayami broke up with her last month.

Cutting her off.

Kuribayashi-san.

Can you work on this? - Yes.

That's why she had motive to curse Mr. Hayami.

I don't think this story concerns me.

And...

the person who stabbed me -

Kayama Yukihiro...

How embarrassing as a cop.

This is what he stated during questioning.

The first time I heard Shirai-san's voice -

was the day after our president committed suicide.

It said "It's your turn next".

"Your turn"?

It said "I'll curse you", "I'll kill you".

Ear plugs didn't work.

And it progressively got worse everyday.

Hear a voice?

No way!

Shirai Saeko had been prideful even in college -

she could be a little stuck up.

You're the same.

You're the cursing type then.

I'm not talking to you!

I'm Professor Yukawa's... - Assistant, right?

You've been an assistant since Professor Yukawa was a student, right?

I'll one day become...

That won't happen.

You won't become an assistant professor or a professor.

How can you be so certain?

Affairs, curses, I don't care about those things.

How? - The thing that interests me -

is the phenomenon that a select few individuals can hear unusual voices.

That's what we are saying is Shirai Saeko's curse.

Idiot, there's no such thing as a curse.

November 4th, 1922, - Huh?

A research team lead by English archaeologist Edward Carter -

discovered Tutankhamun's tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings -

and found the golden burial mask.

It was the discovery of the century.

But after that -

the members of the team started to die one after the other.

The Curse of the Pharaohs.

Of course, there were scientific studies on it.

Perhaps there was a build-up of some sort of gas -

or maybe a deadly fungus had grown inside the tomb...

However, there were unexpected deaths that neither theories could explain.

That mystery still remains.

So that means curses exist?

But as a physicist -

even with the most peculiar phenomena -

I can't accept such an unscientific explanation as a curse.

Professor.

There is always a cause to a phenomenon.

What's going to happen with us?

This is really bad.

Our president died, and with what happened with Mr. Kayama.

Looking at it logically, this company is over.

Wakisaka-san.

Hey, why don't you quit with us before it's too late?

We don't know who Shirai-san will curse next.

Huh? - Since there's no one Shirai-san liked.

What's wrong? - Wakisaka-san?

Oh, I have a slight headache. Excuse me.

What's wrong with you?

I was the one who looked bad.

Because of your mistake!

You're really useless.

The cups are dirty.

Do you expect me to wash it?

I apologize. I'll do it.

I heard you're the president's favorite?

Or...

are you the one fluttering your eyelashes at him?

I'm next.

Wakisaka-san.

Konaka-san.

What's wrong?

Are you all right?

Oh it's nothing.

The police are here right now -

and want to meet with every one here.

Unusual things?

It could be anything. If there's anything that comes to mind.

Data recovery service?

To tell you the truth -

I get headaches.

Just the left side of my head.

Left side? - But...

my hip hurts on the right side.

Right?

What kind of job is data recovery service?

When I randomly look check the time -

it's always at 13 minutes.

Mirroring.

At 13 minutes?

Disaster recovery. - 11:13.

12:13.

1:13...

I am so scared.

That has nothing to... - Rail over.

Scalability.

My chopstick broke.

Two days ago, during lunch.

That's a bad omen. - Do you...

do these advanced programming too?

Yes, I am a system engineer.

Thank you very much.

Your questions don't correlate.

It's your job to scientifically examine everyone's testimonies.

There haven't been any that's worth a scientific examination.

That's true, but -

there may be a clue.

The only thing that's clear is that everyone is afraid.

Yes, things like that.

I'm not interested in things like that.

You're the one who wanted to hear the employee's testimonies.

Hayami-san and Kayama-san both heard a female voice at this spot.

Mr. Hayami heard the voice at the funeral too.

I'll of course talk to the staff at the funeral venue.

My stress is building up.

Why am I involved with such a person!

I'm Wakisaka Mutsumi.

Please sit down.

This is Professor Yukawa from Teito University.

I'm a physicist, pleasure to meet you.

A physicist?

We asked for his cooperation in solving this case.

Oh, is your injury okay?

Yes, although there's still some pain.

She just has a scar on her butt. - Stop it.

Kayama-san is not someone who does things like that.

That time... there must have been something.

You are the first.

To worry about Kayama-san.

He deeply regrets it.

Since he did stab me, it would be hard to avoid a charge.

If his actions were not from his own will -

they might drop the charges.

Not from his own will?

Have you ever heard -

a voice that others don't hear?

Have you?

It's not a voice.

Meaning?

Since around the day after Kayama-san's incident -

I've been having a ringing in my ear.

A ringing?

At first I thought that something was ringing somewhere.

But when I would look around -

no one seemed to have noticed, and I realized I was the only one hearing it.

Was that when you were here?

Yes.

The ringing, is it a high pitched one?

No, it's sounds more like a buzzing sound.

It's as if a bug is flying inside my head.

It's an unpleasant sound.

Buzz?

Does this have something to do with Shirai-san's curse?

I don't think the ringing is a curse.

Well...

We can't rule it out that it has nothing to do with the string of events.

Did the police say something to you?

Konaka-san.

It's going to be me next.

What?

Shirai-san...

is going to curse me to death.

That can't happen.

You, getting cursed.

Thank you.

Wakisaka-san, you'll be fine.

What is this?

This is an anechoic chamber, with all six sides covered in acoustic material.

This is where they study operating noises for industrial products -

and frequency characteristics of audio equipments.

I don't understand it at all. - You don't have to.

Stand there.

What is it?

Stand there.

And?

All right, please start.

System starting up.

What's happening?

I hear music.

I think this was Mozart's...

Take half a step to the right.

Move half a step to the right.

To the right.

Huh? - What happened.

I don't hear the music anymore.

Back to the original spot.

I hear it.

I don't hear it!

I hear it.

I don't hear it, I do.

Why?

Thank you.

This is a parametric speaker -

also known as a hypersonic sound system.

Using this, you can make just one person out of many to hear a sound.

Just one person out of many?

For example, just one person in an office.

That's it!

This is it! - No.

Someone used this on Hayami-san and Kayama-san.

That's not it.

If it's sound, you will stop hearing it if you block your ears.

Huh?

Kayama-san said in his testimony, right?

That he could still hear voices with ear plugs on.

Therefore the voice they heard -

is not from a parametric speaker.

You can go now.

What?

Thank you. - My pleasure.

Excuse me.

Professor Yukawa!

Wait a minute.

You made me come all the way just to prove that this was not the cause?

You're the one who told me to report as much of the examination as possible.

I did, but this is a waste of time.

It's not a waste.

By eliminating a theory -

I can move onto the next one.

There's another theory?

Not at the moment.

You don't?

To hear a voice that others can't hear...

How do I relieve this stress?

Hey, is your assistant here today?

A voice that only you can hear...

Professor!

We're not doing this investigation just to satisfy your curiosity.

Hayami-san and Kayama-san were both experiencing auditory hallucinations.

Just hallucinations.

You just want to write it off as auditory hallucinations?

How would you explain Wakisaka-san's ringing in her ears?

There are different types of auditory hallucinations.

Dr. Isaac, the medical coroner, told me.

That's from a medical standpoint.

The cause for auditory hallucinations -

can be organic, psychotic, symptomatic...

Wow, you've memorized?

Psycho-genetic, pharmacological... - But I am not interested.

Or as a normal response under special circumstances.

Okay, fine. I'll leave now.

Wait.

What does it mean by normal response under special circumstances?

For example, sleep deprivation.

Sleep deprivation?

If we deprive a person of sleep for days, one can hear audio hallucinations.

Or sensory deprivation.

Sensory deprivation...

A person locked in solitary confinement for a long time -

can experience audio hallucinations.

Or when in a strong electromagnetic field...

Strong electromagnetic field.

You write it with the character "strong".

It's not a voice.

Strong electromagnetic field.

It's a buzzing sound.

It's as if a bug is flying inside my head.

Finally, it's within the physics territory.

Have you figured out what the identity of the voice is?

In order to verify it -

I need to actually create it.

Create it?

Give me three days.

Cheers!

So good.

What was the toast for?

Of course it's for you getting better.

They removed your stitches, right?

It still hurts.

I'm glad.

I still have a scar.

If you keep dwelling over it, you'll never get a boyfriend.

You shouldn't see the scar on your butt as a complex.

You should be straight forward and tell the guy you like him.

The message won't get through if you say it in a round-about way.

Just remember how you were rejected by Nakajima-kun.

You being a female cop is enough men repellant already.

Right? - Right.

Oh gosh. Can I get another one?

I told you to make it an automatic door!

Thanks for the hard work, working until late.

Wow, you're working hard by yourself.

What is it?

Nothing.

I just came here to check on you.

I told you to give me three days.

There's still two days left. - It's because I was passing by in a taxi.

So I just stopped by for a bit.

I just came here to look.

You're drunk.

To be precise, your blood alcohol level surpasses a certain percentage -

the effect of the alcohol reaches not only the limbic system -

but the cerebellum as well.

In other words you are completely drunk right now.

Yes, that's right.

My friends were making fun of me about my past.

I'm sleepy.

Sleepy.

Don't sleep. - I won't!

I won't show you my sleeping face.

I'll leave after drinking some water.

Oh, there are a lot of cups.

You can help yourself.

In that case, this one!

Impedance matching is not good.

I'll try changing the circuit.

Are you here this late everyday?

If you hadn't brought this case to me, I would be in bed right now.

Maybe an extended circuit.

I'm sorry.

It's a lie.

Staying late in the lab is not uncommon for me.

Have you sobered up?

Of course not!

To have your friends make fun of you enough to get you that drunk -

is unlike you, who claim to be an elite.

An elite has a lot going on too.

I'm so sleepy!

I said to not sleep here.

Kishitani-kun.

To be cursed by your lover.

Does that mean she loved him that much?

When you truly love someone -

are you supposed to be able to just throw your pride out the window?

To curse someone, is too pathetic.

Are you asking me?

I can't do it.

But...

I'm envious.

Don't sleep.

Nakajima-kun.

All right.

Who is it?

Yes?

Convenience store robbery?

I'm on my way!

I feel a little better after the nap.

Oh, what's this?

Are you going to the crime scene?

Of course.

Are you okay to go?

Yes. I've sobered up now.

See you in two days then.

I understand. I am terribly sorry about this.

Please remove the sticker, and place it near your ear.

Near my ear?

Where is it, Kishitani?

Wow, what is this manual? He should make it easier to understand!

Um... place onto the posterior auricular muscle of the temporal bone.

Place the chord along the splenius capiti muscle from the sternocleidomastoid...

It's behind your ear, I think...

Please place it so that it's hidden by your hair.

Yes. - Is that really right?

Please place the transmitter somewhere not visible.

Yes.

It is set up so that we receive the sound once the ringing in your ear starts.

How is this possible?

Who knows what an eccentric physicist comes up with?

That tone again!

Please try to bear it for as long as possible when the ringing starts.

Excuse us. - Excuse us.

I understand.

I hope there will be another opportunity the next time.

They won't renew the contract?

Oh darn! - Don't be so irritable.

This is the sound.

It stopped.

You there, stop!

You are...

Konaka Yukihide, the system engineer!

You remember me, right?

Give me what you just hid.

Wakisaka-san.

I see. This is well-made.

It was nearly identical to the one you built.

How does this make people hear sounds?

It's the Frey effect.

Frey effect?

If you irradiate electromagnetic waves mimicking pulse wave patterns of sound -

by interacting with the head, only the irradiated person hears a sound.

Pulse wave patterns?

When you use the Frey effect, you can target just one person to hear things.

Isn't that the same as the parametric speaker?

It's not.

The sound that comes out of a speaker -

travels through air as waves, and is detected by your ear drums.

However, when you use this device that utilizes the Frey effect -

one can directly make the sound resonate in your head.

I can't understand it at all.

Let's demonstrate it.

Turn right!

Let's go. - Don't touch me!

Fine, I won't touch then.

Stop.

Using this irradiation device, and aim it to the target's head -

you adjust the volume according to your distance.

When you do this -

the sound reaches that person -

but the person next to her won't hear a thing.

This is probably possible from a distance of 20 meters.

20 meters?

The sound that Konaka made president Hayami hear -

is this.

What is this?

What? What do you hear?

Professor, please stop!

It's this.

I won't forgive you.

I will never forgive you.

I'll haunt you.

I'll haunt you from the other world! - What is this?

That's enough, that's enough!

You could still hear the voice even with your ears covered, right?

It's an unpleasant voice.

This is too freaky.

This is of course not Saeko Shirai's voice.

However, if you suddenly hear this at the funeral -

Hayami-san, who she had an affair with, would be shaken.

Shirai-kun.

Most-likely, - I won't forgive you.

He thought that it was a voice from the dead.

I will never forgive you.

I'm going to haunt you. - Stop!

I will haunt you from the other world.

Then -

to Kayama-san as well.

It's your turn next.

Stop it!

I'm going to haunt you.

I'm going to kill you!

This will make anyone neurotic.

But why did Konaka do this to Kayama-san?

More importantly -

there is one mystery left.

President Hayami and Kayama-san heard a female voice -

but why was the sound that he made Wakisaka-san hear -

this sound here?

I told you to not touch me!

What is this?

This was the ringing in her ear that Wakisaka-san was hearing.

There's actually a trick to this sound.

I love you.

He is sending words in low frequency.

And -

by doing this -

love Konaka Yukihide.

You love Konaka Yukihide.

You love... - It's Konaka's voice!

Is this a kind of subliminal stimuli?

Most-likely so.

Subliminal stimuli?

Konaka tried to influence Wakisaka-san's subconscious?

You love...

So he tried to make her like him?

But the effect of subliminal stimuli is denied by most.

I don't understand.

A person capable of making such a device -

doing such an illogical thing?

And -

only to Wakisaka-san.

Our president -

Hayami, is the worst type of person.

Sleeping with his subordinate, and then he dumped her.

Are you trying to say that you avenged Shirai Saeko?

That prick...

Wakisaka-san too.

Thank you for coming. - Yeah.

He was trying to go for Wakisaka-san too!

Your reason for targeting Kayama-san was?

Are you all right, Kayama-san?

Yeah.

From jealousy?

Then why did you make Wakisaka-san hear that creepy sound?

"You love Yukihide Konaka"?

You thought that was going to make her fall for you?

I was close.

I was so close.

I feel like I can understand him.

Why Konaka tried to use the subliminal method.

Why?

You know, you can say normal things without any problems -

but when it comes to love -

you can only say it in a roundabout way.

What are you talking about?

You know, there are people who can usually be blunt about things -

but aren't good when it comes to love and romance.

I don't understand it. - Why not?

Why not?

How is it that someone who solves the haunted voice and the ear ringing -

doesn't understand this? It's a normal thing.

Even if you don't believe in god, you want to pray to the god of love.

When you hear that blood types B and O are compatible -

you get your hopes up that you might have a chance.

Are you talking about Nakajima-kun?

What I don't understand is why Konaka chose the ineffective subliminal method -

and am not at all concerned about his personality.

Why?

How do you know?

Subliminal.

Why do you know?

I don't get it at all.
