"6 months later, 22 December 2:16 A.M."

"Northern part of Joso City" "ljika Hospital Miyazaki Neurology Department"

Are you still seeing something?

Yes.

Scores of human ghosts.

They're crying-

Screaming.

Pleading.

Murakami!

Get up.

Take them in.

You Okay?

Do I have to do everything?

Sorry.-

Something there? Let's go.

Keep me in the loop. We're partners, aren't we?

Watch out.

Darn you, idiot.

Gosh.

What's this?

Stop the car!

Toss it here!

Run! Pass it!

Here! Over here!

No.

Chief! Are you okay?

"Bomber Targets Children"

"Bomb Footage Dealers?"

Chief!

Chief...

Chief!

Get off me!

You're the one. Exploiting kids, right?

What's this? That's...

Get the car ready.

Yes.

"Alter Ego?"

Is it the serial murderer again?

"Suspicious boy sought"

No doubt, it's number twelve.

"Jack the Ripper returns?"

"Bizarre murder"

I'll take your heart.

"Ghost Radar"

"Mirror of Purification"

"Spiritual presence"

"Electrical Charm"

"Ghosts denied"

"Government denies ghosts"

It's gonna explode.

"Bomber" You want me to blow you up?

Chief!

Don't let him get away. It's our last chance.

"Alter Ego?"

Not again.

Chief!

No!

"ARCANA"

What a mess.

Once again the hearts were torn out.

Is she the serial murderer?

Women are pretty scary these days.

Right.

Wait.

Why are you here, Hashi?

The girl comes with me.

Sorry. She's in our custody.

You heard me tell you this is our case.

Move aside, young man. I'd like a look.

They are?

Spiritual Affairs.

In prewar times, the police cracked down on people

with supernatural and psychic powers.

Seeing ghosts and stuff like that?

They investigated to see if people's abilities were legit.

That's how the department started.

What have we here?

Just one heart remaining.

It should be around.

What's it say?

Spiritual stuff.

Get it out.

You are dead.

Accept it and you can pass over to the other side.

It's fading away.

Hello.

Yeah.

Again? Okay.

We're leaving.

Taira, you check out the girl.

Got it.

Hold it. Yes?

Don't bother with residual hauntings.

Our focus is on the alter egos.

What's wrong?

Why do you cry'?

That must have hurt.

Say...

Do you happen to be crazy?

Why children?

How do you know that? Shut up.

It's a business. Why else do you think?

I'll show you.

Hey! Taguchi.

What did you do to him?

You are already dead.

Goodbye.

There's nobody here.

"Joso City" "ljika Police Station, the old building"

"Criminal Investigation Bureau, Mutual Aid Section"

"So-called Department of Spiritual Affairs"

I hear you saw yourself.

You know what they say, that if you see another you, you die.

That's it. What should I do?

Am I going to die?

I'd get you a lookout

but we're shorthanded.

What are you going to do?

Want to stay the night here?

Huh?

No. No?

I'm going home. Okay.

I see...

Give it to me.

What's this?

Electric Charm. What?

An Electric Charm.

Be sure to carry it with you.

From ghosts...

From your alter ego...

it can protect you from them.

It emits electromagnetic waves that shock ghosts.

That's right.

What's with the Japanese police?

I'm Murakami from the CBI.

What's your name?

Your age and occupation?

Why did you kill?

I didn't do it.

Don't tell us the devil made you do it!

That multiple personality won't fly here!

Okay.

Yes.

I'll try to tell them.

The ghost.

Ghost?

She's calling out for help.

What are you?

I don't know what I am.

I...

I was at a hospital.

Before that...

I don't remember.

A hospital?

So why were you at the crime scene?

I felt their souls fading away as they were killed.

I wanted to stop them.

The next thing I knew I was there.

That's nonsense. I know you understand.

The girl behind you says so.

The girl?

That girl.

Chief.

There's nothing there.

What's going on?

Wake up! Get up!

Here.

Her hands were oddly cold.

What's her deal?

Amnesia? Personality disorder?

Maybe we should check her hospital records.

What's up?

Nothing in particular.

I just want to get this case over with and transfer to a new station.

Don't worry. We're on it.

Coffee, sir? Sure.

It's time you start getting serious.

Don't go easy because she's a girl.

Yes, sir. Please excuse me.

Hey.

Thank you, sir.

Here.

He's been acting weird since we started questioning her.

Since forever.

Taguchi.

What was it?

What did she do to you?

Did you see something?

Did you see the children you killed with this?

Taguchi...

Who are they?

Same as me?

Alter egos?

The world, get furious.

The world, fall apart.

The world, get furious.

The world, fall apart.

"23 December" "10:16 A.M."

Okay. It's confession time.

You did it, right?

Stop crying-

The ghost girl.

There's no ghost. Nothing's here!

Where is it? Where the heck is it?

If she dies, this will end.

That's taking it too far.

Hey.

Sit down.

See?

I can hear.

Help me...

Someone was killed and buried.

The bomber has accomplices.

You see them too. You believe me, right?

Tell us! Spill your guts!

You've got some kind of a power, right?

You did something to Taguchi, right?

What are you doing?

Please find her.

My body is buried at a driving school

that is no longer in business.

So she says.

Murakami, this is no good.

I'll call the boss.

Hey.

Hello.

Yes.

Murakami is at Taguchi's place. He took me.

They're the ones who did it.

In the back of the building...

Stay back.

Stay back!

Drop your guns.

Drop them!

Why?

I'll kill her.

Chief!

Those kids, they're hurt and in pain. They're crying.

Shut up!

You, drop your gun!

Tell him to drop the gun!

Nakabayashi, drop it. Chief!

I'll let you go.

Just release the girl.

I'll show you.

What's that?

Bomb!

Why did you shoot?

Why did you put down your gun?

Who cares about that witch?

All the evidence was blown up.

Don't interfere with my methods.

You Okay?

You took a bullet.

Why did you do something crazy like that?

A woman's body is in the back.

You know, I can't cover for you anymore.

What's wrong with you?

How can you take a suspect out into public?

I felt sorry for her.

For going unnoticed.

For being left in the ground. Like me.

I wanted her found.

Because I'm alone too.

Good for you.

You've been found.

You can finally go home.

Thank you.

Here. A token of my thanks.

The bombers were found. So was the body.

Thanks to you.

Your not having a name is inconvenient.

Still can't remember anything?

No.

Why don't we call you that? Maki.

We'll call you Maki for the time being.

Maki.

That's my daughter.

Satsuki.

Where is she now?

She doesn't dress like this.

Sorry?

I...

I might not be human.

Warmth. There's blood.

It's a safe bet to call you human.

I'm certain you're not the one who did it.

You believe me?

I do.

I thought so from the beginning.

Sorry I suspected you.

You... I mean Maki...

You can see ghosts, right?

Do they talk to you?

No, they don't.

They show up.

Then, I dimly feel their presence.

You see them too, don't you?

Yeah, I see them too.

I guess it's okay that I see them too.

Oh, man.

I've been suffering from this.

I've thought something was wrong with me since I was a boy.

I couldn't talk to anyone about it.

It must be tough to see them all the time?

Sometimes.

What do you do at times like that?

Nothing. I just wait for them to go away.

That's rough.

I drink to drive them away.

Murakami, you smiled.

For the first time.

Let's go.

We're hereto help.

"24 December" "7:43 A.M."

Over there.

Satsuki Nagase, she always skips school and hides out there.

I wonder if they are here.

Ghosts.

Scary, right?

It's time you start talking.

Who are you?

Psychic power, criminals arrested, body found.

If this keeps up, you'll never move to a new station.

You'll be demoted to Spiritual Affairs.

Depends on luck. If I'm not lucky.

What about Murakami?

I suspended him. Told him to cool down.

No doubt about it. She's my patient.

Come to the station. Now?

Yes.

Who are you?

I'm Maki.

Satsuki Nagase?

Stay away!

Satsuki Nagase, right? Stay away!

Don't touch me!

Murakami.

What's the meaning of this?

This is Dr. Tomochika.

I'm Kobayashi from CBI.

She has a severe memory disorder.

She remembers nothing before six months ago when we took her in.

As of now, there's no sign of recovery.

You're saying this isn't a sham?

Do you really think she's the one?

I suppose so if there's no one else.

She's sick.

You can go home soon.

I'll continue her treatment.

Doctor, that's not the way it works.

I'm afraid you misunderstand. I didn't misunderstand.

She claims to see ghosts.

That she can interact with them.

It's just a symptom of her memory disorder.

Ghosts, right?

Please continue.

Emotional oppression.

Or a delusion.

Fairly common traits for girls this age.

No!

This girl is my suspect

That's enough.

You police really are morons.

Let her leave, Nakabayashi.

Admit it! You did it, right?

You did it!

Knock it off! You're hurting her.

We got the wrong person. It's my fault.

This investigation is over.

She's the one. No one else.

Who cares about ghosts?

I do. I can see them too.

Ghosts exist!

What?

I see.

Everyone gather.

There's something important that you need to know.

You too, doctor.

This way.

Unlike you, I'm not pathetic.

Why did you even show up?

Don't embarrass me.

I won't forgive.

You filthy scum.

Kill.

You kill your main body and survive.

What's wrong?

As you see, this department deals with ghost related cases.

Don't touch things.

That's the "Wrench of Curse".

The person who owned it killed one after another,

finally killing himself.

Oh, now you've done it. You've gone and touched it.

Keep moving. Where are you going? This way.

Okay, I'm walking. This way, come on.

The one in chains is the alter ego that separated from the main body.

A living ghost.

The other is the main body.

Sign here.

Sign?

You agree to eliminate the other you, okay?

Of course.

It's not your choice.

Because of him, I've been through hell.

That's because you wished it!

Shut up. My career is over because of you.

I'm smarter than they are but I never get ahead.

I'm taking the girl.

Her main body will soon arrive.

She's a minor, so I asked her parents to come, okay?

So, who's the true murderer?

There's someone else, an alter ego as well.

Bring her.

Hold on. I'm not following.

Recently, throughout Japan...

alter egos have been rapidly emerging.

Let go of me!

Where are the parents? In the reception room.

Why did you call them?

Her clothes.

That's not her style.

She'd look good in something like this.

Main bodies are increasingly running into their other selves.

As soon as an alter ego is confirmed,

we isolate them both.

An alter ego has its own identity.

It's totally independent.

Hey. Let me out! Let me out of here, please!

Shut up. You're not human.

Don't give me that look.

I don't want to do this. It's just my job.

How did this happen?

Their common point is falling unconscious

through an accident or a suicide attempt.

They hovered between life and death.

Come.

They usually disappear before encountering the main body.

Better that they disappear.

This guy feasted.

Feasted?

He ate the heart of his main body.

When that happens, they lose control.

That's how a heart-eating monster is made.

Alter egos.

Her too? Right.

Alter egos.

They share the same personality?

Sorry?

They're usually opposite each other.

That means they correspond to schizophrenic personalities?

Don't know.

As a psychiatrist, that's a very interesting subject.

Why don't you let them talk to each other?

No. Listen.

A human should never be split in two.

Hey! Get up! Hey!

Murakami.

You Okay?

You don't have to care about me.

I don't want to be trouble.

Don't say that.

I'll figure something out.

Where you taking her?

To see Hashi.

In Spiritual Affairs? Nakabayashi, she's not the one.

It doesn't matter.

Something terrible is going on in Japan.

It's going to be okay.

I'll take her.

Hold on a second.

Let's go. Stand up. Are you okay?

Hey.

Your shoelaces.

I said I'll walk.

Give it up.

Taguchi.

It's okay. Calm down.

What is this thing?

Definitely not human.

She's a monster too.

Stop saying that.

I'm taking her.

The main body is already here.

Don't fight! Run!

Go now!

What are you doing over there?

Get here with the trapping tool, Toriga.

What did you say? Just get yourself in gear!

It's safe here.

I'm not human?

I'm going to disappear?

Why...

Why... no!

Calm down. No! Why me?

Am I a monster? Am I?

You're not a monster.

You're not disappearing.

I'm taking you back to your family.

Why me?

My daughter...

Satsuki.

Satsuki.

You look the same. You're the main body, right?

Come with me.

Stop it! Come!

I'll protect you.

I trusted you. Do you trust me?

I trust you.

Your clothes are covered with blood.

Change into this and let's get out of here.

Yes.

What are you doing with my daughter's clothes?

I'm sorry but it's an emergency.

Let's go.

Wait a minute. Satsuki?

Satsuki?

Have you forgotten your parents' faces?

I heard she was in a hospital due to amnesia.

Hospital?

Is this why we were told to come here today?

I apologize for the trouble.

What?

She's Satsuki.

This is Satsuki.

Which?

My father and mother?

You. Come here.

Stay back!

Over here.

Now.

Nakabayashi.

Stop! Don't kill her.

This is the alter ego.

Alter ego? That's the main body.

This one came from her main body.

The same face. They even smell the same.

Alter ego?

Nakabayashi. It isn't human.

Don't get involved.

The thing before was one of them.

Maki is human.

Don't take Spiritual Affairs' word for it.

You're blind.

It's a shame you don't listen to me.

You can't see.

What's wrong? Ashamed of being fooled by a girl?

You two, this way!

Walk!

Nakabayashi. Stay away!

Nakabayashi. Satsuki...

Calm down. Stay away or I'll shoot!

It's dangerous! Wait here!

Nakabayashi.

Go. I've had enough.

Listen, Nakabayashi.

Jerk!

Rip her heart out.

Then, you will eat the heart.

The heart of your main body.

We're like-minded.

Hey...

The Electric Charm. Give it to me.

Moron.

Go!

Wait.

It's me.

Open the door.

Stay away!

Please.

Tell me.

Who am I?

I don't know!

You are me.

I'm you?

I think so.

Could you please tell me what I should do?

I don't know.

This is so stupid. What's going on?

I've no idea what's going on!

Everything is nonsense. Everything.

You got fed up, right?

You were torturing yourself, right?

Don't talk like you know everything.

I understand completely.

You've no idea what to do.

And what you want, Right?

What am I?

Weary

You didn't care anymore.

You jumped.

Stay back!

I know now.

Maybe...

I was looking for you.

I wanted to see you.

I didn't want to see you.

You are the part of me I don't want to see the most!

So...

Did you come hereto kill me?

Let's go.

To where?

Where we belong.

We'll be together forever.

Michiru will protect us.

You're no longer lonely.

Where's Maki?

She was taken.

Along with her main body.

Don't move.

Your body is a mess.

Gosh.

Darn it.

Darn it!

I have to do something.

I guess there's no use stopping you.

Take this with you.

It will lead the way.

Don't even try to win.

Ghosts are ghosts. There's no way to beat then.

The only thing humans can do is appease their anger.

And send them off to the next world.

How do you do that?

There's nothing you can do.

Alter egos deeply despise human beings.

But there is something

I heard from my predecessor.

Something they can never beat humans at no matter how hard they try.

And that is to risk your life.

Putting their life in jeopardy for another

is the one thing they can never do.

Only humans can do that.

As for me...

That's all I can tell you.

You're unarmed.

Take it.

This way.

Let's go.

If there's a miracle...

it exists only inside of you.

Maki

I'm not Maki. I'm...

Stay out of our way.

I'm not handing her over to you.

Don't do it.

If you do, you would no longer be Maki.

Humans are indeed selfish.

You would no longer be that Maki,

who helped a poor ghost.

There's no place for me to go back to.

Let's go away together.

Even if you don't have a past, you have a future.

I'm not human.

It doesn't matter if you're human or not.

Who cares?

What's happening?

I'll disappear.

You... Maki...

You mean a lotto me.

Thanks to you...

Why am I the only one to disappear?

I was able to forgive myself.

It's not fair.

Now, do it.

What are you people?

What are you?

You think you're better than us just because you're alive?

You'll die and become a ghost anyway.

Maki.

Maki!

Are you stupid?

You're human. She's an alter ego.

Completely different.

Do it.

My life is already done with.

Kill me! I'm not worthy of life.

No.

Father and mother will be sad.

If it were you.

That's not true.

I'm nothing but trouble.

If I'm gone, you'll be relieved.

Father and mother will be sad.

Not me.

This isn't for me.

You live instead of me.

Nothing good will ever happen to me.

No.

I'm scared.

It's okay. We are here for you.

Right. Good.

Is it okay that I live?

What are you talking about?

Of course it is.

Stop it now!

I know you can change.

As long as you're alive,

good things will happen to you.

Stop. That's enough.

Enough.

There's something I heard from my predecessor.

Something they can never best humans at no matter how hard they try.

I'm Maki.

And that is to risk their own life.

Putting their life in jeopardy for another

is the one thing they can never do.

Only humans can do that.

I'll disappear.

Traitor.

Murakami?

Go. My alter ego.

Michiru.

Murakami.

I'm happy we met.

Stay alive.

To be honest...

I wish I was kind like you.

Even when I'm gone...

I'll be watching over you.

Thanks.

Murakami?

Murakami?

Maki? Murakami.

A miracle has happened.

"25 December" "8:16 A.M."

Tracked down by Murakami, the suspect burned herself to death.

With the suspect dead, the case has been sent to prosecutors.

This is what I'll tell the press, okay?

Sure.

Look.

We're short of hands.

Can you help out?

If you want me to.

"Yutaka Hashi" "Promoted to Captain"

"Founded Spiritual Affair Department within the lbaraki Police"

If I disappear and become a ghost...

Will you still see me?

What are you doing? Watch out!
