Welcome to Hokkaido!

There's nothing else to be passed on to Mr. Mashiba, right?

Yes. - Then, until this evening.

I'll get your report at 4:00 p.m.

But give me a call anytime if you need me.

I understand. I'll talk to you later then.

To: M Systems Inc. CEO, Mr. Mashiba Yoshiyuki

I'm glad to hear it was nothing serious with your father.

I know! I had to wonder what I was going to do if he became bedridden.

What a big fuss he made on the phone about falling and hitting his waist!

He probably just wanted to see Ayane's face, you know?

You don't come home at all after getting married.

You didn't have the wedding properly either.

A wedding dress won't suit you once you're over 40, right?

So, how about life as a newlywed? Has it been just one year?

It's fun. Just two of us, going on a trip or out to eat some delicious food.

Since your husband is the company president, with a lot of money.

Is it not best to have a husband who's wealthy and kind?

Yes!

How about children? You're not planning?

Um, I guess it's too late for that.

Excuse me? Can I have another one of this?

Yes, right away.

You heard about the Devil's Hand incident a little while ago?

In that incident, there was someone called Associate Professor Y at T University.

The man whose name the culprit mentioned? - That's Yukawa-kun.

Yukawa-kun?

Don't you remember him? We were in junior high school together.

Yukawa Manabu-kun?

Oh, he was transferred from another elementary school in 6th grade.

He went on to high school in Tokyo, didn't he?

He's a physicist now. An associate professor at Teito University.

I didn't know!

He's solving many different cases by cooperating with the police.

The police?

Even though he's a physicist? Why?

I don't know that much.

Excuse me? Can you take this plate away?

Right away. - Hello?

This is Kato of M Systems.

Oh, Kato-san.

Do you know where the president is, by any chance?

We were supposed to have a meeting at 4:00 p.m., but I can't reach him.

He said he was going to be at home all day today.

Galileo 2 Episode 10

Salvation Of A Saint - Part 1

Your husband was found collapsed in the dining area at home by a security guard.

I asked them to check on him.

He didn't answer no matter how many times I called.

His corpse is being sent for an autopsy. We haven't determined the cause of death.

I won't be able to see my husband? - We apologize.

We'd like to ask you questions at Kaizuka North Precinct now.

Can I make a stop at home?

I can't quite figure out whether this is real or not.

I understand.

Mashiba residence We're still investigating on-site.

It appears that your husband collapsed while having coffee.

Excuse me.

Things we found at the scene were already sent over to the crime lab.

We'd like you to verify them.

A broken coffee cup.

Two used coffee filters. One disposed and the other near the kitchen sink.

A jar with ground coffee beans inside.

A bottle of mineral water in the trash can.

And a kettle.

Do all of these belong to you?

I think so.

Well...

People from the police will still go in and out here, won't they?

Yes, for a while.

I will stay in a hotel somewhere.

It'll be hard to stay here...

It's going to take some time to sort out your feelings.

That'll be better for us, too.

Is it okay if I just water the plants before leaving?

Since the planters on the balcony upstairs don't get much of rain.

Please go ahead.

We don't have a bathroom upstairs.

I see.

If you won't be home for a while, I'll water the plants from now on.

Thank you.

Ootagawa-san, please double check. - Yeah.

They're beautiful.

My husband used to say these flowers were pretty.

Why, Honey? Why is this happening?

Ayane-san.

Didn't you like instant coffee, Professor Yukawa?

I won the badminton tournament and the prize was a coffee maker.

Once we tried it out, it's fairly convenient.

Unit price per cup is cheaper as well. This would have been better in the first place.

That'll never happen.

Huh?

There's a serious flaw in a coffee maker.

A flaw? - Which is...

it cannot bring out the taste of instant coffee.

No, Professor Yukawa, that's really not...

Actually, there was a murder.

Don't interrupt me!

The victim was a 43 years old, company president named Mashiba Yoshiyuki -

and he was murdered by poison, planted in coffee.

What? - Poison?

It's a deadly poison formally called sodium arsenite, which is also known as arsenic.

This must be a murder.

It's more likely to be a premeditated murder.

A premeditated murder?

Kishitani-kun.

Why do we think it's a premeditated murder?

That's because it is highly probable that arsenic was planted with great care.

It seems to me you're trying to talk about the case under the cover of confusion -

but it has nothing to do with physics. - Hey!

On the day of the incident, his wife was in Hokkaido -

and Mashiba-san was at home by himself.

None of our business! Arsenic is outside our field.

It is your business! You'd better hear me out!

Hear you out?

Until 10:00 a.m., Mashiba-san was fine.

He was seen in a video conference by his employee in that condition.

A video conference?

They saw Mashiba-san having coffee.

He was having coffee?

After examining at the crime lab -

arsenic was detected from the coffee spilled on the floor.

Of course, from the coffee cup as well.

Stop it already!

Also, arsenic was detected from the coffee filter -

near the kitchen sink, and also the kettle.

Hey, hey!

Arsenic wasn't detected in the paper filter disposed in the corner strainer -

and a bottle of mineral water in the trash can.

Huh? What does this mean?

Probably, Mashiba-san made the coffee he had in -

the morning, with this disposed paper filter -

and the coffee he had in the afternoon and died from it, with this one.

So, the poison was placed between the first cup and the second cup.

Probably inside the kettle.

Why does it have to be the kettle?

Because arsenic wasn't detected from either the water bottle or tap water.

If you think about the process of making coffee, it's natural to suspect the kettle.

Since the poison was detected from here on.

I see. - It has nothing to do with physics.

What? Oh, I got drawn into her story before I even realized!

The culprit placed the poison inside the kettle in the kitchen -

while the victim was at home.

That's physically impossible.

A thief will sneak in, even when someone is at home.

I even had my TV stolen while I was sleeping in my apartment.

A shabby thing like that will never happen at the Mashiba residence.

How come?

Because the home security system from a security company -

had been activated in so-called "stay" mode.

I see. - Again, it has nothing to do with physics.

Oh, again! - Here comes the main topic.

From the records on the intercom, we've already found out -

that there was a visitor between 10:00 a.m.

when the victim appeared in a video conference -

and 4:00 p.m., when he didn't appear in a video conference.

A visitor?

This is an image from the intercom camera.

Pretty much just an umbrella.

The time when this person visited was 2:04 p.m.

Mashiba Yoshiyuki-san opened the door to respond.

Without disarming the security system.

Intruder warning.

We've detected the intruder warning. - I'm sorry.

I opened the door without disarming the alarm.

I see.

It is very common to open the door without disarming the security system

so the security company didn't dispatch staff.

That means, you don't know whether this person -

with a purple umbrella entered the house or not.

You're correct. Ugh!

And in the evening, the video conference at 4:00 p.m.

Since Mashiba-san couldn't be reached

one of the employee called his wife, who was visiting her parents' home in Hokkaido

and his wife contacted the security company, who had the key to the house

and the security guard, who was dispatched, found the victim in a dead body.

Estimate time of death is between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.

It matches the time when the woman came to visit.

I see. That makes this person extremely suspicious.

Quite interesting.

And quite wonderful presentation.

Even though you've pointed out that it has -

nothing to with physics in the first place -

you don't give up and exhibit all data, and develop a hypothesis -

which still has nothing to with physics -

then finally lead to the conclusion, which still has nothing to do with physics.

That's what I call a super presentation.

You got me! - Professor Yukawa!

I have absolutely no interest.

Leave now, you eloquent woman! - Hey! I haven't come to a conclusion yet!

Find the woman with a purple umbrella. - I agree!

Even though physics aren't involved, it is related to Professor Yukawa.

With Professor Yukawa?

Please take a look at this person.

The woman in this picture with Mashiba Yoshiyuki-san, who was killed.

She's beautiful. - She's beautiful, isn't she?

She's Mashiba-san's wife.

And also, a classmate of Professor Yukawa.

What?

Her name is Mashiba Ayane-san now, but the maiden name is Mita Ayane-san.

She was your classmate in Hokkaido, wasn't she?

When you were in junior high school. - Seriously?

Mita Ayane.

Put down the flower, make a bow. Now go to Ms. Ayane.

Put down the flower.

Make a bow.

Sun Flower Preschool? - Mashiba Ayane-san's preschool.

But, for this one year since marriage, she left the school to other teachers

and has been devoting herself to the role of housewife.

Ayane-san loves children.

But she hasn't been blessed with children, and now lost her husband.

Poor Ayane-san.

You've check out on Ayane-san meticulously.

I'm watering the plants at the Mashiba residence every day.

Huh?

Because Ayane-san is staying in a hotel and can't go home.

If the flowers die while she's gone, it's going to cause more sorrow.

Ayane.

You remember that promise, don't you?

Promise?

Mita Ayane-san.

No.

Mashiba Ayane-san.

This was very unfortunate.

Yukawa-kun?

It's been 26... No, 27 years.

You haven't changed at all.

You too. - Stop it.

Did you really remember me?

You went to Tokyo right after graduating junior high school.

I never forget the face of a beautiful woman.

You're lying.

You didn't even take notice of me back then.

To tell you the truth, I had forgotten until the police showed me your picture.

The police?

I sometimes get involved with police investigations.

Oh, I know.

Is my husband's death a kind of case that needs cooperation of a physicist?

It was quite an unreasonable request for cooperation this time.

But, you've accepted.

A family member of someone you know, dies under questionable circumstances -

and there is suspicion of murder.

Also, the truth of the case is wrapped in mystery.

I'm not sure if my knowledge becomes useful -

but I can't desert that person by refusing to cooperate.

Thank you, Yukawa-kun.

The crime scene.

Can I see your house? In the presence of the police.

Of course.

Thank you.

Please go ahead.

Mashiba-san.

These roses?

My husband loved them.

He loved roses. - They are so beautiful.

Who takes care of them? - I do.

What was that about?

Nothing.

Please come in, Yukawa-kun.

Yukawa-kun?

Mashiba Yoshiyuki-san was collapsed in this position.

The coffee cup was lying right here, and the coffee was spilled around there.

Was the empty water bottle in that trash can?

Yes.

Did your husband always use mineral water when he had coffee?

Not just coffee. He told me to basically use mineral water even when cooking.

Even when cooking rice? - He was very health-conscious.

If we're out of mineral water, he insisted on water from the water purifier.

I see. I use water from the water purifier, too.

He was very particular about things.

Surely water for bathing wasn't mineral water, was it?

No, he didn't go that far.

This area hasn't been cleaned up so much.

Because I rarely open that space.

The kettle is the most probable place for the poison to be planted.

Is this the one? - Yes.

But, how could it be possible?

Mashiba-san had coffee as normal in the morning.

By boiling water with this kettle.

But arsenic was tucked inside in the afternoon.

That woman with a purple umbrella might have entered the house -

and planted the poison in the kettle secretly...

The woman with a purple umbrella?

Oh.

It's someone who came to visit here on the day of the incident.

Who is this?

Whether or not to be able to place the poison -

depends on the relationship between that person and Mashiba Yoshiyuki-san.

But, at the present moment...

I make nothing of it.

Aren't you going to say, "Quite interesting"?

I will not say such an insensitive thing.

It's beautiful.

Isn't this called tapestry?

Yes.

It took me a whole year.

What? - Did you make this?

I had a lot of time, and also we had no children.

A whole year.

Magnificent.

Thank you.

It requires concentration and patience.

You may be well suited for a scientist.

It's too late for that.

I'd like to see your lab some time.

Anytime if it'll take your mind off. I'd be delighted.

Thank you.

Can we finish up now?

It's still a little hard for me to be here.

I'll give you a ride to the hotel.

What a surprise to meet him again in this way!

Him? Oh, Professor Yukawa.

He was so handsome.

Smart and athletic. Everyone was making much of him.

Yeah, it's still the same now.

His class is full of female students. I don't understand.

Why not? He's still charming.

He may be good-looking, but I can't stand that argumentative character.

I can't keep up with a science boy.

I can relate to that. He was the same from way back when.

But, to tell you the truth, I liked Yukawa-kun too.

What?

That was in junior high school. It's been 20 some years since.

Did you go out with him?

No way! It was my first love.

How about you, Kishitani-san? Wasn't there someone like that?

Oh, Nakajima-kun from the same department in university.

Nakajima-kun?

The best I could do was to hand him a box of chocolates on Valentine's Day.

Then, pressed the self-destruct button.

Even a detective is an ordinary person.

Am I ordinary?

Thank you for keeping me company.

As I was talking to you, I started to feel a little at ease.

Oh, anytime if you are okay with me.

I'll get going.

Kishitani-san.

Yes.

If I hadn't gone to Hokkaido -

my husband didn't have to die?

Please don't blame yourself.

It's the culprit who should be blamed.

I assure you that the police are committed to arrest the culprit.

Okay.

If you'll excuse me.

I had enough! - What?

This milkshake is too thick! - Okay, I'll suck to the tip for you.

Here you go! - Yes, I did it!

Can't you suck on it more with full force? Like this?

Why don't you scoop up with a spoon and eat?

Oh?

Teacher from Sun Flower Preschool?

Huh?

How long have you been helping at Ayane-san's preschool?

Since five years ago.

Then, you must know the Mashiba couple very well.

Yes, I guess so.

Do you know the reason why she married Mashiba-san?

Because Ms. Ayane got pregnant.

Pregnant? A shot-gun wedding?

But, she had a miscarriage right after getting on the family registry.

Oh, no!

That's why she's been concentrating on the role of housewife -

after leaving the school to us.

I think Ms. Ayane wanted to have a baby, no matter what.

I see.

I feel so sorry for her.

They couldn't have children after all, and that kind of thing happened to her husband.

Even that accident in the first place...

That accident?

The accident which caused Ms. Ayane to have a miscarriage.

A woman on a bicycle hit her.

A woman?

I suspected if that woman hit her to cause Ms. Ayane to have a miscarriage.

On purpose?

Because her husband was charming.

I'm sure he was popular among women.

There was someone who had a grudge against Ayane-san, who married Mashiba-san.

For example -

someone who went out with him before Ms. Ayane and got dumped afterward.

It's just an example, though.

Oh, excuse me.

What is it?

Why can't you answer the phone more friendly?

You know from the caller ID that it's me. Don't you have any respect for your senior?

What can I do for you?

We've found out about the woman who went out with the victim before his marriage.

She's the one on the far right, isn't she?

Yes.

Tsukui Junko-san.

Mr. Mashiba brought her. Said she's the woman he was going out with.

When was this picture taken?

Was it the end of the year before last?

It was at Christmas time. Here it is.

Thank you very much.

Six months before getting married to Ayane-san.

What does she do?

I heard she was an illustrator.

Where is she now? - I heard she quit her work -

went back to her home in Shizuoka. - Shizuoka?

It might have been a big shock to break up with Mr. Mashiba.

Kato-san!

It's just my wild imagination, you know?

Do you know why they broke up?

Well, that's... - Please tell me. It's very important.

Probably because Ayane-san got pregnant. - What?

Do you agree? - I guess.

Yoshiyuki-san was going out with Mashiba, had relations with Ayane-san...

So he was two-timing?

Only in the beginning. - He broke it off after getting married.

My impression of Mashiba-san has gotten worse somehow.

I understand how you feel, but it has nothing to do with our investigation.

In any case, we have the leading suspect now.

Since this woman, Tsukui Junko has a good reason to kill Mashiba Yoshiyuki-san.

Also a reason to throw herself against Ayane-san, who was pregnant, on a bicycle.

You're right.

You go ahead and check on the bicycle accident. I'll go to Shizuoka.

To Tsukui Junko's parents' house?

After watering Ayane-san's plants.

What the heck is that?

Welcome to our lab!

I'm Kuribayashi, Professor Yukawa's assistant.

Nice to meet you, I'm Mashiba Ayane.

You're even more beautiful in person than the picture.

Please stop it!

This way, please! - Thank you.

Amazing! This is the laboratory?

Welcome.

How could you have someone like her as a classmate, Professor Yukawa?

I never thought you'd really come to a place like this.

You said I'd be welcomed anytime, Yukawa-kun!

Yukawa-kun?

Oh.

The same kettle as ours.

She calls you Yukawa-kun.

I've been thinking about how to plant arsenic.

I'm jealous.

But, I can't come up with a good idea yet.

Aren't you busy with your own research?

Will you call me Kuribayashi-kun?

It was your husband who died.

I'd like to unravel the method of the crime somehow.

Thank you, Yukawa-kun.

I can't chime in.

But really, please don't push yourself too hard.

Actually, I'm here to ask another favor of you today.

Favor?

Will you show some interesting experiments to children from my school?

Oh! - I think everyone will like that.

That's a great idea! There may be some children who -

will want to be a scientist in the future afterward.

Yes! - Unfortunately, I can't do that.

What? - I don't like children.

Professor Yukawa. - You don't like them? Why?

Because children are illogical, he says.

Illogical.

When a child gets near me, I get hives.

All children are born geniuses, you know? - I agree!

There's no way they're all geniuses.

A genius can only be found only at the rate of 0.001 percent of the general population.

Yukawa-kun.

I'll do the experiment. Please leave it to me.

But you're only an assistant.

Please, Yukawa-kun?

I can't.

I see.

I'm sorry for asking such a selfish favor.

I'll leave now.

I'm glad I was able to see Yukawa-kun's laboratory.

So long. - Yeah.

Good-bye, Kuribayashi-san. - Yes.

Ayane-san is feeling down after losing her husband.

Who cares if you're not good with children?

I can't do it even if I wanted to.

You don't even know how happy to be you!

Wait for me!

What's the matter?

There's one thing I'd like to ask you.

Who planted those roses?

Roses? - Those roses at your house.

Oh, I did.

What about them?

Can it be any experiments to show children?

What?

Perhaps freeze the rose flower in extremely low temperature and smash it like glass.

Of course! It could be anything.

Everyone!

Here's Mr. Yukawa Manabu an associate professor -

at Teito University and a physicist!

Okay, everyone! Say hello!

Good afternoon! - Good afternoon!

Good afternoon.

Now, Professor Yukawa is going to show us an interesting experiment.

Everyone, watch closely.

Yes! - Yes!

Before I start.

Please do not speak to me during the experiment.

If I get hives, the experiment gets interrupted.

Huh?

Everyone, behave yourself and watch! - Yes!

Yes! - Yes!

Let's start, then.

Today I'm going to use these things in my experiment.

An electric water boiler.

Heat-resistant glasses.

And water.

I thought it was going to be the rose.

Excuse me? - Yes.

Would you mind turning off the lights? - Okay.

First, pour water into the electric water boiler.

Then, turn the power on.

This is the scene of the accident.

Mashiba-san's house is right near the exit on that side.

So, a bicycle smashed into Ayane-san, who was walking from that direction.

Yes. Since it was a hit-and-run from behind -

so she could only tell the rider was a woman.

I even suspected if that woman hit her on purpose

to cause Ms. Ayane to have a miscarriage.

It came to a boil.

Pour 400 milliliters of hot water into this heat-resistance glass container.

What color is this hot water?

Look at it.

What color is the hot water?

Clear! - Clear!

That's enough!

That's correct. It's clear.

Now, I'm going to repeat the same thing.

Mashiba residence

Since this woman, Tsukui Junko has a good reason to kill Mashiba Yoshiyuki-san.

Also a reason to throw herself against Ayane-san, who was pregnant, on a bicycle.

Tsukui Junko?

Ms. Ayane? - Not yet?

Not yet. - Boring!

It came to a boil. - Boring!

What do you think will happen?

Watch closely.

Wow! - Wow!

Why? - Why?

I'm going to repeat the same thing, once again.

Where did she go?

Watch closely.

Purple! - It's purple!

Why? - Why?

Shoot!

What is it?

I found out something big.

Tsukui Junko had been dead since a year ago.

What?

She committed suicide by cutting her wrist.

Actually, I placed each red paint and blue paint in -

different places on the back of this lid beforehand -

then covered them up in gelatin with different thickness.

I'll explain it so you guys can understand.

As you see, the first time the water came to a boil -

gelatin didn't melt and the clear hot water came out.

The second time, gelatin covering the red paint -

melted, so the red-colored hot water came out.

And the third time, thick gelatin covering the blue paint melted -

and the red and blue paints got mixed, so the purple-colored hot water came out.

Wow, very strange, isn't it? - I don't understand!

What's gelatin? - What's gelatin?

Gelatin is...

That's why the purple-colored hot water came out?

I know, it's like magic, isn't it?

Keep away!

Don't get close!

I'm leaving!

I liked Yukawa-kun when we were in junior high school.

I had no idea. I apologize.

I made a move, but you didn't even notice.

Made a move?

I asked you to the Sunday service at church and got rejected.

Now I know you were already a Christian back then.

At that time, you told me this.

"I cannot accept the religion, which still doesn't accept" -

"the Copernican theory advocated by Galileo Galilei".

I was so surprised.

That logic is sound.

It wasn't until 1992 when the Roman Catholic Church made an apology to Galileo.

And, surprisingly they didn't officially accept the Copernican theory until 2008.

It took 350 years since Galileo had died.

But Galileo was salvaged, even though it took a long time.

Salvation takes time.

Salvation?

Why did you show that experiment to children?

I just picked the topic I was most interested in right now.

Which is, the case of my husband's death?

Yeah.

That experiment with the electric water boiler was about -

the paint planted beforehand getting dissolved into water after a while.

That's correct.

So, if you replace the paint with the poison which killed my husband...

The culprit planted arsenic into the kettle -

between 10:00 a.m. when your husband appeared fine in a video conference -

and 4:00 p.m., when he couldn't be reached.

That's what the police think. But, I wonder if we should assume so.

Isn't there a probability of arsenic getting planted beforehand?

My first hypothesis is, the trick using gelatin.

But, the culprit didn't use that method.

Because the ingredients of gelatin are always left in the kettle.

Then, how can I set up a trick which makes arsenic -

dissolved into the second cup of coffee only?

Are you saying it was me who set up such a trick?

Are you suspecting me?

I have no reason to kill my husband.

I have no interest in either the culprit or the motive for the crime.

But... - But?

If I remember correctly -

it was right before Christmas in our third year of junior high school.

When you asked me to the Sunday service, you told me a story like this.

"I don't like rose flowers".

"No matter how beautiful they are, I just can't come to like flowers with thorns".

That's what you said.

But now, a lot of roses are blooming at your house.

I have come to like them now.

Flowers full of thorns?

Is that a good reason to suspect me?

No.

You didn't like roses before -

but because you loved your husband, you have come to like them now.

Things like that could happen.

But, once we scientists feel discomfort in a phenomenon in front of us -

then we get the urge to discover the real nature of that discomfort.

We get the urge to doubt the foundation of it.

A wife is grieving after her loving husband was killed.

Even that composition, from the root...

Ayane.

You remember that promise, don't you?

Promise?

Our promise to break up if we don't have a child within a year.

Beautiful.

The aspect ratio of this cross is about equal to golden ratio.

If such a thing as a beautiful perfect crime were to exist -

that beauty may be close to this cross.
