- Did you play rugby? - Ages ago.

Oh, the semi-final?

Quite good!

Nice catch!

Ishikawa!

Please respond!

And now for the next news item.

The naked male body found on the road in Shinjuku yesterday...

was Toru Shimada, 22, a resident of Suginami.

The police considers him a victim of the serial murderer.

The number of victims has already reached three.

At this point, it is still unknown how the killer chooses his victims.

- The police are now... - Yes! Private Investigator Yamada!

It's very hard for me going around this season!

You'd rather stay inside, right?

Definitely. How about you?

I've never suffered from any allergies.

Not that. The job!

You know how it is.

You don't look so good either.

Then I have something to discuss.

Doesn't look like a photo to look at during daytime.

As you can see, the guy's dick was cut off.

The marks covering his whole body were caused by a rope.

It would seem that he was a hardcore S&IVI maniac.

So? What of it?

You really are dense.

They were all gays.

They didn't mention this on the news.

Of course not. They have privacy too.

In the end, the offer has come to you.

Like the saying, "Only snakes can recognize each other"...

This might be going too fast. You can't stay like this forever.

- No, thanks! - Hey!

Hey! Wait!

Hey!

Didn't come.

Do you know Masao from 3rd Avenue?

He can read your mind by looking at your face.

He's a mind-reader.

A mind-reader?

You're thinking about reading lips.

No, he reads your mind.

I'm not lying to you.

Unfortunately, it's real, IVIr. Detective.

I know quite a bit about you, Mr. Detective.

You used to be a police officer.

And the reason you quit was because of your personal preferences in things.

Indecent behavior during training school.

Where did he find out about that?

"Where did he find out about that?"

Who is this guy?

"Who is this guy?"

Now, can you believe me? A mind-reader.

How much?

Is he a regular?

Today was his first time here.

I see.

I want to be a mind-reader as well.

Why?

If you're connected with someone's heart, you'll never break up with them in a sad mood.

If you're connected with someone's heart...

Private Investigator Yamada.

Long time.

What's up?

Ishikawa?

A psychiatrist runs away because of a nervous breakdown.

I know it sounds like a joke.

Has his business been alright recently?

I guess so.

That's quite vague.

He never talked about his business.

He treats other people's minds, yet hates to share his own thoughts.

I see.

Maybe I didn't know anything about him.

I'm going to help you.

Maybe a woman problem?

Maybe...

But I don't think so.

You're probably right.

Anyway, let's look for a clue.

Yes.

Breathe in deeply.

Relax yourself.

As I count to 10, your body becomes lighter and lighter.

One.

Two.

Three.

Mr. Yamada, you look like you're checking out mementos of an old lover.

That was 10 years ago.

Why did he record this kind of stuff?

I don't know.

Apparently, he keeps tabs on all the treatments he performs on his patients.

- Would you like to take these with you? - Nine.

Now...

Free up your closed mind.

What's up, Mr. Yamada? Feeling blue?

Nothing much.

Looks like you need a strong drink.

- Matsuda. One more drink for him. - Corning right up.

I was just about to leave so I'm not going to thank you.

I don't care.

It's cruel to bring back the memories you once thought forgotten.

Investigating an ex-Iover you broke up with 10 years ago?

Makes you want to cry, doesn't it?

Mind-reading?

I don't buy it.

I live in the real world.

It's not about what you want to believe.

It's none of my business anyway.

When a person gets involved with you, there must be a reason for it.

What is it?

Guess.

Mind-reading.

I want to do it with you.

You were thinking about some other guy during sex.

Hope to see you again after a while.

Please wait.

Do you know Ishikawa?

Who is that?

- You're sure, aren't you? - Yeah. I investigated him once.

They found your name in his pocket book.

Apparently, you made quite an impression.

You told me that the murderer was a S&M enthusiast.

Yes. Do you have some clue?

Not really.

Let’s hang out.

Going Home?

Would you tie me up with this?

I've never done that before.

That's alright. Just restrict my movement.

|'|| try.

Once you're done with my hands, wrap it around my chest.

- Like this? - Tighter.

Like this?

Wait a second.

I've checked the places where he could hang out. No sign of him.

I've also checked the patients and contractors.

There was no woman you would have to worry about.

I've checked men as well.

Yoshino Ma koto.

Do you have any clue about him?

No.

Nothing.

Mind-reader, my ass!

Did you just want to approach me?

Calm down.

Are you the serial murderer?

Sit down.

What kind of relationship do you have with Ishikawa?

Did you and Kazuko plan to disable me?

You're completely misunderstanding the situation.

What happened to Ishikawa?

I'm looking for him as well.

Stop lying.

I have to get Ishikawa back.

Because Kazuko asked you?

She never had anything to with it.

Awake now?

What are you trying to do?

I have something to ask your body.

Are you kidding?

I'll teach you something good.

A mind-reader doesn't believe anyone other than himself.

Therefore, he is as harsh as he can possibly be.

Don't think you'll be okay after this.

Your words don't scare me.

I'll kill you...

Could you please shut up?

The body is more honest than words.

Look how excited you are.

Remind yourself about the days when you were Ishikawa's toy.

All the men I sleep with become enlightened and gain the ability to read minds.

The final phase of a mind-reader's life is cruel.

Suicide.

Disability.

Murder.

I knocked many times. It seems you didn't hear.

Wait!

I don't want this!

Sorry for being rough.

I've slept with someone who could read minds once.

He tried to choke me as well.

Maybe he's the serial killer.

Does he look like this?

No.

That's not him.

When I met you for the first time, I was actually looking for him.

Because he was very good.

Iwanted to meet him again, even if! had to die.

That's him.

That's him.

No doubt about it.

Ishikawa!

How did you figure out I was here?

Did you sleep with Yamada?

Show me your face.

Ishikawa.

I won't run away anymore.

Could you explain?

It was when you were about to come here to discuss Ishikawa.

Yoshino came to me instead.

He told me he was Ishikawa's lover.

Yoshino told me...

about you and Ishikawa.

I got married to Ishikawa without knowing anything about it.

To me, it looks like you guys are still connected.

I just followed what Yoshino said because I was very upset.

Yoshino and I are the same.

He never loved us with his heart.

Still...

I want to show you.

This is what 10 years with Ishikawa have left me with.

Torture me.

Just like Ishikawa did.

Good! More! More!

Yamada came many times when I slept with him.

Jealous?

Iwas jealous as well.

Was he thinking about you while we were having sex?

He was like you when you had sex with me.

Everything will be okay if I go away.

Hit me harder, Ishikawa!

What happened? Keep going!

I am pleased!

Iwant to be healed by you as a patient.

Iwant to feel...

your real heart.

Yoshino.

What happened? Please keep going, Doctor.

Yoshino wanted to apologize to Ishikawa.

Apologize?

He ran away because Yoshino read his mind about the murders.

He said that his mind-reading drove Ishikawa's sadism to horrible murders.

It's not only Yoshino's fault.

They say that if we could read each other's minds, we'd have to be kind to each other.

That's wrong.

The body found in the suburb of Hachioji was Makoto Yoshino, 30, a resident of Shibuya.

Police are investigating under the assumption that he’s the latest victim of a serial murderer.

Hey! Have you been waiting?

Ah, the candles and stuff.

The guy’s veins were cut open.

Did you find a tape?

Well...

We couldn't find one.

What about it?

Nothing. Nevermind.

We thought he was suspicious.

But everything has gone back to zero now.

I think you'd better quit your job.

Why?

You're distracted by your allergies.

Now, free up your closed mind.

Being able to read people's minds has been my strongest interest for a long time.

Because people cannot understand each other beyond their words, I feel nervous.

I thought reading people’s minds would eliminate my nervousness.

But reading people's minds only made me more nervous.

When you free up your mind, what do you see?

I can't see anything.

Just my unstable mind.

I just want to run away now.

Free up your desire.

Go back to the real you.

Itsuka Yamada! What I'm doing with you is fake!

What I'm doing with you is fake!

Hello.

You must be Ishikawa.

You've gotten weak.

Just one more try.

I'll beat you this time.

Don't come!

It's alright now.

Ishikawa!

Where are you?

Yamada.

Miss me?

No, nothing's changed.

I've been tied to you all these years.

The one who was tied up was me!

You are the one who ran away.

Maybe you're right about that.

I couldn't bear the thought that I might have to kill you.

That's the reason why I went through with the fake marriage.

Ithought you had abandoned me.

I've been hunting for guys on the street as if I was being driven by the memories of us.

Iwas miserable.

But I thought it was okay if you could become happy.

Is that what you're saying?

Don't pretend!

I can read your mind.

Don't patronize me!

That's right.

I wanted you to think that way.

Bastard!

It's okay for you to stab me.

That's the real you.

You just use our memories as an excuse for your sins.

Pull yourself together!

I know how you feel, no matter what you do.

Are you scared of showing me your thoughts?

I haven't changed a bit since then.

Me neither.

Please kill me.

When I came back to myself, there was a blood-smeared body in front of me.

You were unconscious.

I don't know...

I have no idea what was going on with me.

Maybe there is some dark desire in me.

No. I don't think so.

I was able to see it while we had sex.

The reason why you didn't kill me was because you have feelings towards me, right?

You don't have to comfort my feelings.

I am just a hedonist.

I might be the same.

Yamada...

I can't understand myself anymore.

I wanted to find out who I was by looking into other people's minds.

But the more I knew about other people's minds...

The less you knew about your own mind.

How about you?

Do you know who you are?

No, I don't.

That's why I let you take care of me.

Don't look.

Please stop looking at me!

You continue to run with a ball you can't pass to anyone else.

Stop talking.

Would you let me take care of you?

I can feel your heartbeat.

And mine as well.

This is the low side.

You, what are you doing?

Garbage like you.

lwish [had 500,000 yen.

I can’t see anything.

There is just my unstable mind.

I just want to run away now.

Free up your desire.

Go back to the real you.
