There he is!
Stop!
Soji Okita!
Prepare to die!
I want to perform...
my duty...
until the very...
Iast moment.
"Blood"
Help me.
"Setagaya Maid Murder Case"
Some tea, sir.
Thanks.
Getting accustomed here?
Sir.
Why'd that hotshot detective get sent here?
Mind your own business and get back to work.
Damn, it's hot!
Miyako...
Rozmberk...
Miyako Rozmberk was the employer of the victim.
I hear she's got some Czech blue blood in her.
Been 12 years, huh?
She was gorgeous then.
I was assigned to the cold case squad,
where I did nothing.
Special lnvestigation Unit my ass.
So I decided to eyeball a case...
before the statute of limitations expired.
"Setagaya Maid Murder Case: lnformation Wanted"
A maid was iced in a mansion in Setagaya ward.
Investigators suspected someone in the house.
But everyone, even the other servants,
had solid alibis.
The case went cold...
and was shelved three years ago.
"Setagaya Maid Murder Case: lnformation Wanted"
Any help is appreciated.
Justice for our daughter.
The mansion where it took place is gone, replaced by an empty lot.
Oh, yeah?
The vic's parents were still handing out leaflets nearby.
Did you meet them?
Yes.
They wondered what the police had been doing for 14 years.
The mother was crying.
There isn't much time before the deadline!
For their sake, we need to sift through the...
Shut up!
Hoshino.
Sir?
Why do you think you're stuck here with me?
It's so you can cool it...
while I keep an eye on you.
Anyway, did you check out Miyako's current location?
I have the address.
Just keep it on the downlow.
Sir...
Now get outta here.
After exposing some bigwig politicos for corruption,
I was booted from the Public Security Bureau.
Some things never change. Some crimes go unpunished.
What's the point of being a detective now?
Damn!
Excuse me, but is Miyako...
uh, is Miyako Rozmberk home?
I'd like to ask a few questions.
You traveled quite a distance.
What brings the police here today?
My apologies.
I'm Detective Hoshino from the Special lnvestigation Unit.
This is wine!
I can't drink on the job May I have water instead?
She's deaf.
Oh, I see.
I apologize.
So, how may I help you?
I came here today...
to talk to you about the murder that took place...
at your former mansion in Setagaya 14 years ago.
I believe I've already told everything I know.
Besides, I prefer not to remember that time.
Of course, I understand.
However, the victim's family...
I've already provided as much financial support as I can.
No, that's not what I mean.
See, the case is about to expire.
Expire?
Right.
It's my job to investigate unsolved cases before they expire.
I want to perform my duty until the very last moment.
The very last moment?
Yes.
Such familiar words...
Actually, I know who did it.
Ukyo Kuronuma.
Ukyo... Kuronuma?
That's his present name, anyway.
His present name?
But why would you come out with this now?
You don't believe me?
It's not that.
But would you happen to have any proof?
You should check yourself.
You're a detective, right?
"From: Takita"
"About Ukyo Kuronuma: He's 33, from Tokyo, no prior record"
"He runs MZA, a hedge fund laundering slush funds"
"But you won't ever see his face out in the open"
Let's check this out.
Mr. Ukyo.
The VP is back.
I hope you enjoyed yourself.
Thanks to you, I feel decades younger.
Sir, I've received some rather intriguing information from him.
Anyway, I'll come again.
Where am l?
Let me go.
No...
Let me go!
Please, let me go!
Sir.
Everything is ready.
Help me.
What's going on?
No!
Awfully rude of you.
This is the owner's private space.
Why'd you do that?
Are you people even human?
Ukyo!
Ukyo, you jerk,
you killed that girl 12 years ago just as you did now, huh?
14 years ago?
What're you talking about?
Who'd you hear that from?
From Miyako.
Miyako Rozmberk.
Is something wrong, sir?
You little...
Still human, I see.
What?
It means you're mortal.
You can die...
without knowing eternity.
Dispose of him.
Yes, sir.
Hey, wait!
Seems you were quite the detective.
Sad to see you go.
You? It can't be!
You're finally awake.
You've been reborn.
Now, you can converse with your heart.
What happened to me?
We now share the same blood, you and l.
You'll roam in eternity,
feeding on the blood of the living.
That's your life now.
Eternity...
You're a special one, able to receive my baptism of blood.
Special?
Those who receive our blood will die...
except for certain people...
with a special type of blood.
So I'm... one of those exceptions?
Yes.
I found out the first day you came here.
It's been 160 years since I've met a man with this blood.
160 years?
Is this some sick joke?
Accept your fate.
The more you resist, the longer your suffering.
You blessed me with sacred blood...
I have no words to thank you.
So who is it that managed to toy with a man like yourself?
A girl with blue eyes.
Blue eyes?
She may have the same blood as us.
Why does Ukyo...
continue to take the blood of young women?
He loathed seeing me partake in other men.
For me and my body to survive time,
I need a large amount of blood.
He couldn't bare it and became unhinged.
Refusing my blood, he took blood from my maid...
and disappeared.
I want to perform my duty...
until the very last day.
Have you spilled enough innocent blood?
You're one to say,
after the thousands of lives you've taken.
I wish...
you would've let me die that day.
Anyway,
mind telling me why that detective came here?
He showed up at my door hoping to solve the case...
from 14 years ago.
That's all it is.
Don't tell me...
that he's your new...
He doesn't suit you.
He's too straight.
Probably.
Reminds me of you.
After I left you,
I was a mere shell of a man.
It was but a blink of an eye for us.
Not for me. I'm still...
You...
You need to find your own path.
Just forget about me.
Soji...
You belong to me, Soji.
I've forgotten that name already.
Brigitte! Brigitte!
Hoshino ran away.
Don't worry.
So he was planning to murder the Vice President, huh?
Quite the vicious detective you had stashed here.
Inspector Hoshino?
That's me.
Please come to the station.
Why?
You're under arrest.
On what charge?
What the hell's going on?
Damn!
Shit!
Get him!
Stop!
Support needed!
Get off!
Stop!
Support needed!
Still human, I see.
It means you're mortal.
You can die...
without knowing eternity.
You'll roam in eternity,
feeding on the blood of the living.
That's your life now.
Damn it, you've got the police under your thumb, too?
The men upstairs have a weakness for money and women.
Who can blame them?
It's rotten.
Everything...
Rotten, exactly.
The country, the people...
Nothing's changed at all.
And yet,
here's a detective following a case...
that's about to expire anyway.
All for some girl who'll die eventually, anyway.
So what if her death happens to be slightly unfortunate?
You jerk.
For that one girl, her entire world ended.
All because you killed her.
You little shit!
So Miyako made you...
I need you gone.
Blame your blood for that.
My blood?
Right, for being born with the same blood as me.
Erase him, for good.
Sir, baptize me with your blood, please!
Bestow me with the same blood he has!
Then I'll kill him.
You want to die, Yokochi?
Only the chosen can endure our baptism of blood.
What the hell happened to you?
How come you...
Interested in roaming eternal darkness?
Eternal darkness?
We're incapable of dying.
All that's left is to wander through time.
No thanks.
Not interested in your stinking eternity.
Very well.
Then enjoy your endless despair.
Soji.
Don't.
Soji?
I've forgotten that name already.
You're the one who made me.
And yet that man is more important to you than me?
What the hell am I doing?
Can't even catch one little murderer.
You can't forgive Soji, can you?
What about me?
If you've committed a crime,
then I can't forgive you.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
After all, I can't survive without drinking your blood.
How old are you, Brigitte?
Ah, you're 323 years old...
What? 323 years old?
How time flies.
I found her in Nagasaki.
She was born to a Japanese woman raped by a Portuguese man.
Hard enough being deaf back then,
much less a half breed.
She has the same blood as me, then?
No.
Then how can she keep living for over 300 years?
She drinks one drop of my blood with wine,
every ten days.
Then she can avoid aging,
and converse with her heart.
I see.
So you're a mortal.
I can't age,
I can't die,
and no matter how much I battle Ukyo,
it'll never be settled.
Are you hurt?
I'm sorry.
You've become strong.
Thanks to you.
No, it's because of Miyako's blood.
There is one way...
To do what?
To defeat Ukyo.
Tell me.
While he's in a state of apparent death,
turn him to ashes before the blood revives him.
If you seal his ashes in a lead box,
his body won't be resurrected.
Though his flesh may be destroyed, his soul won't disappear.
The soul continues it's existence...
in the trapped darkness.
Forever.
Catch anything?
Nope.
Hoshino...
Been a while.
You've been well?
I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble, boss.
I'm not a boss anymore.
They agreed to call it a resignation, though.
Still gotta pay off my loans.
I'm terribly sorry.
Don't apologize.
I'm glad I quit the police.
This way I don't have to arrest you.
Sir.
I found our guy.
You did?
Yes.
A businessman named Ukyo Kuronuma.
I'll be making contact soon.
That's great.
Sir.
I...
A big one!
Thanks.
Is this carp?
Wonderful!
Finally bagged one.
"Bagged one", huh?
You've still got the touch.
Are you okay?
You were saying?
I wanted you to know...
I'm going to go somewhere far.
Sad to hear that.
Take care.
Sure, I'll see you around.
Hoshino.
Don't you die.
I knew you'd come.
The cruelty of eternity...
The folly of loving another...
You taught me all of this.
I'm not strong enough to endure...
endless days of solitude.
Soji.
I should be her only victim.
I can't let a criminal like you get away.
I need her in my life.
Yet she chose you,
and you won't forgive me.
So you have to go.
Wanna start it?
You couldn't possibly fathom the futility of eternity.
How much innocent blood have you spilled?
You're just a murderer!
You're calling me a criminal?
That's right!
You're no different.
What?
We wander eternity feasting...
on the blood of the living.
We're both victims.
I alone can love Miyako.
Brigitte!
I won't let you go!
Have you no regard for life?
You'll understand one day.
You're just a criminal!
Send us to our sleep...
Our eternal sleep.
Forgive me.
The soul continues it's existence...
in the trapped darkness.
Forever.
I was...
nothing but a pawn...
in the eternal love story...
of Ukyo and Miyako.
