I was born to kill people.
I was born a monster.
You'll understand one day.
I'm somewhere deeper than you.
She is hiding something from you.
The minister of justice signed for the execution to be implemented.
There has been an abduction.
"Reveal all the murders Tatsumi has done."
That's the criminal's request.
I kidnapped a girl.
If you want to save her obey my words.
Make clear all murders the sentenced to death penalty Tatsumi has done.
He has killed more people.
How long will you keep me waiting?
Do your investigation.
If there is no development next time, I'll kill the kid.
She's gonna die because of you and Tatsumi.
The criminal didn't say his name nor who got killed.
Why? If he wanted to clarify it he would have said the name.
He must be scared his identity gets revealed.
He thinks that Tatsumi killed more people.
He said that he is the representative of the victims.
20 hours have already passed since his first call.
Why didn't you ask our help earlier?
The people on the upper level still think you're not needed.
There has been no negotiation progress yet for the criminal.
- He must be stressed. - There is no time.
Statistics say that 97.2% of kidnapers are arrested.
But the purpose is ransom.
When purpose is different the life of the hostage is in danger.
That's why I came here.
I acknowledge you guys.
Lend me your strength.
Let's profile the abduction.
Put the data together.
Let me see Tatsumi one more time please.
We know nothing about him yet.
If the execution gets enforced we won't be able to make the truth clear ever.
Tatsumi won't speak the truth.
You were the one that said we're going to make clear the darkness in his heart.
Saving the kid is a priority now.
That's why we must clarify Tatsumi's past.
We can't accept the criminal's demand.
In addition, we're already done with Tatsumi's case.
That's our stance.
I entrust you to negotiating with the criminal.
- Your speciality was negotiating, right? - Yes.
Her parents say that she may have a spasm at any time.
- How about the medicine? - She has it with her but..
We haven't told anything to the criminal about her illness.
We don't want to give him our trump card.
That's the basics of negotiating, right?
It's ok to leave it to your skills right, Miyuki-San?
Of course.
I'm glad to hear that.
He is the one that asked for help from the CPS.
Sorry for being late chief.
This is a chance for you. I rely on you.
Ok.
We have a phone call from the criminal.
This is Miyuki from the Metropolitan Police Department.
A woman? Why did you change?
In order to proceed with the negotiations.
I'm also irritated.
The top doesn't move at all.
Feel at ease.
I'll support you all-out.
You understand the situation right?
Did you start investigating?
What did Tatsumi say?
Tatsumi said he didn't kill anyone else.
That's not true! He has killed more people.
Do you have a proof that your claim is true then?
Nobody knows who you are.
And who got killed.
There's no way we can proceed with the investigation.
I see.
I saw him.
I saw his face at the riverbed.
I saw blood on his clothes when I passed by him.
The criminal lived close to the riverbed.
The person got lost
since that day.
He doesn't come back.
Who doesn't come back?
Your family?
The one you should search for isn't me. It's the person Tatsumi killed.
There's no point going through the disappearance reports.
I didn't report it.
Even if I accuse Tatsumi for killing someone
you, the police, won't even take a note.
Enough.
I'll kill the kid.
If you do, your wish won't become true.
If I don't kill her you won't take me seriously.
Hey. Say your last words to your mom.
Fast.
Papa.. mama.
Tell them bye fast.
Eri! Give her the medicine please!
Please the medicine..
Both of you calm down!
Don't say a word about the medicine!
You understand right, Miyuki-San?
Say goodbye fast.
Hey, say goodbye to them now!
Stop. That kid is sick.
Don't treat her violently.
Give her her medicine. She must hold it somewhere.
Stop her spasm.
Okay.
I'll do so.
But I have a condition.
Let me talk to Tatsumi.
That's my condition for giving her the medicine.
That can't be done so easily.
The kid dies then.
Let me talk to Tatsumi in 2 hours.
If you can't, I'll kill the kid.
The call area?
It's different from the previous one.
He must be moving to a different place everytime. It's impossible to track him down like this.
Eveything is a mess.
Tatsumi Satoshi, 24 years old.
After being diserted at the park when you were 4,
you were found by the policeman.
Place of birth unknown.
You were called a prodigy from elementary school.
My grades where by far excellent.
But on the other hand I always had a bizarre interest in death since elementary school.
You killed
the goldfish, turtle and rabbit that the school was raising.
It was exciting.
That feeling.
I still remember it.
The first time you killed someone was at your 17th birthday.
At a warehouse of your father's company that wasn't used which you called your laboratory.
You dissected alive the man and woman you captured.
After killing them like that
You gently sewed up the corpses
and glued their eyelids together with glue.
Was it more exciting than the rabbit?
Did you kill as much as 7 people because it was fun?
You killed more than 7 didn't you?
You came to ask that right, Kazuki.
Something happened again outside.
An accident related to me.
I just want to know about you.
I wanted to know about me too.
I didn't kill only 7 people.
There are more.
Kazuki.
Let me help you.
This is my last chance to
recompensate my sins.
What happened?
Tell me.
Whatever happens the Superintendent General of the Metropolitan Police says that saving lives is a priority.
But we can't admit to Tatsumi that there are cases not solved yet.
It will hurt our dignity.
Pride is more important than people's lives?
If that's the case then
what we must do first is let him talk to Tatsumi and devise a conciliation.
Do you think he will cooperate?
I don't think he will. Tatsumi..
I'm questioning your decision to accept the criminal's demands.
Then what would you have us do?
Senpai. Enough of..
How will you save the kid's life?
Even if we arrest the criminal
there is no point if the kid doesn't go home alive.
If we don't obey next time he will probably kill the hostage.
According to the voice analysis he is 20 + or - 3 years.
Young and fanatic. We also sense that he is determined.
He told the girl to say goodbye to his mother.
There is a high chance that he was raised by his mother only.
And the person he lost has to be his mother.
He may be despaired.
What does the Ministry of Justice say?
- Can we transfer the call? - Chief..
We have news from the Tokyo prison that someone from the Metropolitan Police Department
has started interviewing Tatsumi.
Don't act on your own.
I'm sorry.
I think it is our job as the police to
to make clear the truth behind the case so..
You went just becase of your own curiosity.
Our job now is to solve the abduction case.
He admitted that he killed more people.
Who did he kill?
I didn't get there yet.
But he said he wants to cooperate.
He said it's his last chance to make up for his sins.
Did you tell him about the case?
We can't trust his words.
Can you save the hostage with a different method then?
I'll arrange so Tatsumi speaks to the criminal.
Get ready.
Do you believe what that monster says?
I believe.
A born monster doesn't exist.
That's what I believe.
Are you ok?
I'm okay. It's just a light spasm.
Since when?
It's hereditary.
If everyone knew about my illness
I thought they wouldn't let me be in charge of CPS.
It's a team you desperately made.
Believe in them.
Don't overdo it.
Before you talk on the phone tell me who you killed.
You said you'd help with everything.
I said I'll give you a hand with the abduction case.
If the criminal wants to know I'll tell him directly.
Kazuki, it's time.
It's the criminal.
I'll transfer the call.
Hello.
So you are Tatsumi?
Right. Nice meeting you.
You didn't kill only 7 people. There are more.
Right?
Say something!
Agree with him.
Hey, Tatsumi!
You're right. I've killed other people too.
Where are the dead bodies?
Tell me the place of all the people you have killed!
You've killed a couple more right?
Tell him.
Where did you throw them after killing them?
Tell him. You said that you're going to assist us.
Speak! Tell me everything.
What's happening? Why doesn't he say anything?
Are you making a fool of me?
Tell him that you regret what you did.
I'm sorry.
I'm truly sorry.
I do not regret it.
What!?
Are you fooling with me?
Bastard..
Say whatever I tell you.
I can't take back the fact that I killed him.
So I won't use any excuses.
But I want to compensate for what I've did. Tell him this.
You killed people!
People that did nothing. Aren't you human!?
Apologize.
Apologize!
I'm not human.
I'm a monster.
What the hell are you talking about?
I'm the only one that knows the grave of your family.
If I die, no one will ever find it.
Bastard!
Don't speak if not told to.
Tell me.
Where did you bury her?
I'll kill the hostage.
I'll tell you.
Before that, release the hostage though. That's my condition.
I don't want to get ordered by a killer.
You're a kidnapper.
You're a criminal, just like me.
We're not the same.
Indeed. I'm not a coward criminal like you.
I'm not doing this because I want to.
Kazuki, Terada-Kun, stop him.
I didn't attack any young kid.
What you're doing is something trash does.
Release the hostage right away.
Why are you doing selfish things?
I cooperated in my own way.
I told him to release the hostage.
Bastard..
I told you, I'm a monster.
I wonder if the girl will stay alive.
How are you going to take responsibility?
I'm truly sorry.
If the criminal has a rush of blood to his head and kills her..
You take seriously whatever Kazuki says so easily.
We shouldn't let him speak to someone sentenced to death.
We arrested the criminal!
Shinbori profiled the place while they were talking on the phone.
From the communication data I got from the phone tracing we did so far
I predicted his movement by looking at his change of direction.
The decisive blow was the last phone.
The phone with Tatsumi wasn't a waste.
She's not here.
Tsuge-San. We can't find the girl.
She must have been captured somewhere.
In addition he has her medicine.
Where is the kid? Speak.
You know she is sick.
She may die.
I won't tell you until Tatsumi speaks up.
Don't be stupid.
If you had searched for my mother as desperately as you're searching for the girl
none of this would have happened.
The unrecognized dead body you're talking about
is your mother?
Find my mother.
Find her please.
It's been 24 hours since she was kidnapped.
Her physical strength went out of limits a long time ago.
We can't be sure when a spam will occure.
Miyuki-San. Let's find the truth behind Tatsumi's case.
That's the only way to save the girl.
He almost killed you. You may be in a dangerous situation again.
Tatsumi will be gone in a few days. Before that..
I think we have to solve this too.
If there is dead body sleeping somewhere
I believe that it must be found.
Just like we have a right to live.
I believe that people also have a right to have their death acknowledged.
Let's do a CIA.
Let's make clear Tatsumi's darkness.
Yes.
In the warehouse that was called his laboratory
the dead body of the 7 killed people were gathered.
The dead bodies may have been a collection for him.
A sample?
The blood from all dead bodies was cleared off carefully.
There are a lot of collectors of dead bodies abroad that are murderers that seek the bizzare.
I think you''re wrong.
That happens when there is a sexual attraction to dead bodies.
He is different.
His victims are both male and female.
How about the gluing of the eyelids in order to close the eyes?
There must be a " Do not look " message hidden.
There is also a possibility that it is a sign that the criminal doesn't want to look at something.
I'm concerned about why he cut the back squarely.
If he wanted to dissect someone he'd do it from the stomach.
That way he can see the victim's face suffering.
If he were Sadist he would do that.
I can't find any specific data. It's an unusual technique.
I wonder if cutting the back is a variable or cutting in a square form.
Both are important.
His fantasy is hidden somewhere there.
Look at this.
Tatsumi participated at the psychology training exhibit
at Ounan university.
It may become a hint to something.
Imaizumi-Sensei.
Do you know him?
He was a laboratory coworker of my father.
He is a counselor of my little sister too.
The other day fire popped up as I was cooking..
I couldn't stop crying.
You still recall your past.
Was it painful?
By recalling the incident
the truth is that my sadness becomes weaker.
I wonder if I am heartless.
It's been 10 years.
It isn't your fault.
That's how memory works.
Your next appointment is next week's..
Maiko?
Sis, what happened?
Work.
You became elegant, Shouko-Chan.
I came to ask about him today.
Tatsumi Satoshi. He was my patient.
Your patient? I thought he just participated at your training exhibition.
That's how it started.
One day he asked me to counsel him.
He had a concern.
Or a trouble actually.
What kind of concern?
Is there no privacy to people sentenced to death?
Criminals do not have a duty of confidentiality.
They do have a duty of making clear all their sins though.
Tatsumi-Kun..
He questionned whether he was a monster or not.
He was questionning himself of whether he was a monster or not?
More than questionning
I should say that he was suffering.
He was scared of his inner brutality
and desperately tried to control it.
That's why he said he asked for my advice.
He wanted to know why he is a monster.
This is
the mental test I put him through.
Baum test.
I tried to search for his true psyche by
making him draw a tree.
What's this picture?
It's only branches. There are no leafs.
Loneliness. It shows that he has no connection with people.
In addition the trunk here is thin.
There is no ground. Only the roots are drawn.
There is no formation of a family relationship.
At this test, the whole trunk of the tree
reveals the age this was written.
In other words, this trunk is him at the age of 17.
And
this bump at around the one fourth of the trunk.
It's around the age of 4.
In addition, the depiction from there and under is vague.
He has no memories of his childhood.
Correct.
That's why I used
retrogression hypnosis on him.
After he recalled back his memories of the past
I understood that reason.
I see.
That night
you were suddenly waken up.
Then you were put in the closet by your mother.
Yes.
After that?
What happened outside the closet?
What did you see?
Mom was
stabbing
dad.
When he was 4, he saw his mother killing his father.
From a dark closet.
He saw his mom stabbing his father.
What did he do after he heard that?
He was reassured.
Reassured?
I inherited the blood of killing people.
Now I'm reassured.
I was born a monster.
He now knew the origin of murder impulse that arises from deep inside him.
He felt relieved.
He must have found his identity.
Identity?
He believes that murdering is the meaning of his life?
Probably.
That's why after that he killed 7 people.
No.
There is one more he killed.
Before he killed those 7.
One more.
Mama.
There is no corresponding case.
That's not possible.
There must be data of his mother's accident.
Do a proper job.
It may be a story Tatsumi made up.
That can't be true. There must be something that became his formative experience.
Marie-San.
Change the keywords.
Found it!
Tatsumi lived here until he was 4.
When he was 4 years old he watched his mother
kill his father from a dark closet.
Mom is..
Found her.
Call an ambulance now.
You'll be fine.
The case is solved.
Good job everyone.
It's not over yet.
We haven't clarified Tatsumi's full story yet.
There isn't any unacknowledged dead body.
The case is over.
We don't think it is over yet.
I'll work on this case until the very end.
Tsuge-San. We secured the girl already.
The case isn't over yet.
There is a dead body somewhere and we'll find it.
Yes.
I thought I would't see you again, Kazuki.
Sit down.
You're all here today.
What kind of amusing story do you have for me?
Stop it. Turn the lights on!
Are you afraid?
Of darkness.
We'll begin the last interview.
Have a sit.
You first cut open an animal when you were 10.
At that time your lovely cat died.
You were excited right?
The feeling of choping up a body.
Yes I was.
You thought of killing someone with your own hand next time.
So you killed the goldfish and turtle the school was keeping.
But that wasn't enough, so you chopped a rabbit too.
I told you. I still remember that feeling.
Was it fun killing animals and dissecting them?
The truth is that you were afraid of the cruel feeling gushing out from inside you.
I wasn't scared. I am a..
You must have been suffering.
You were suffering from the sadistic urge that would pop up no matter how many times you tried to restrain it.
I wasn't suffering. I am..
That's why you got counseled by Imaizumi-Sensei.
"Why do I feel a brutal impulse inside of me?"
You wanted him to find the reason.
And you finally discovered.
The formative experience that gives birth to brutal impulses.
That day
you watched a murder scene inside there.
You were scared.
Really scared.
So you close your eyes firmly.
The reason you glued the eyelids together
was a hint that you were scared of darkness.
You're scared of darkness because
you still have scorching in your eyelids
and you recall that formative experience.
After awakening to the intense memories
that were sealed inside you when you were a kid
you resented your mother.
Resented her strongly.
You searched for her all over.
After finally finding her, you killed her.
The first person you killed
was your own mother.
It's your fault.
It's your fault, it's your fault.
It's your fault.
That's right.
It's her fault.
Because of her I..
You consented that you were born a monster.
You accepted your inner brutal personality.
After killing for the first time on your 17th birthday
you killed 7 more in total.
Dissecting them while they were alive. A brutal murder.
Dissecting was
a time of supreme bliss.
I was able to feel the strangeness of a human body.
A number of adults tried to
find a reason behind my killings.
They are too scared of murders with no reason.
I would tell them about
my resent towards society and my parents.
But both weren't true.
I was enjoying
killing people.
I was truly seeking for it.
Killing people.
That is
Tatsumi Satoshi.
That's the meaning of my life.
I..
was born a monster!
Wrong. You're not a monster.
You didn't dissect people because you wanted to kill them.
I'll tell you the real reason you disscted them.
You were searching for the switch.
You've searched for it a long time ago too right?
When the cat you beloved died.
You desperately searched for the switch that would bring it back to life.
It was strange.
It stopped moving suddenly.
That's why I searched.
That's when I was a kid.
Wrong. It's still the same.
Even now, you still believe that there is a switch somewhere
that will bring someone back to life.
That's not true. That's not possible.
The delusion that there is a revival switch hasn't disappeared yet.
I killed people to dissect them.
I killed them to have a blood bathe.
Wrong. You always regretted it.
That's why you unconsciously covered the dead bodies with a white clothe and mourned for them.
If you could find the switch, your beloved cat
your passed away father and your mother that you killed
you thought somewhere in your heart that they would all start moving again.
You always cut the back in a square form
just like a toy battery box.
The switch is inside.
You searched for the switch subconsciously all the time.
But people aren't machines.
They don't have a switch like this one.
I'm a monster!
I was born a monster!
Your mother didn't kill your father.
It was a misunderstanding.
When you were 4, a burglar broke in your house.
The one that killed your father is the burglar.
Stop it!
Stop it please.
Go out!
Noooo!
What you saw was
your mother trying to save
your stabbed father.
Bullshit!
Your mother got mentally driven to the wall
and left you behind at the park.
After regretting doing what she did she desperately searched and found you.
She send a letter to the Tatsumi couple where you were staying
during that time.
But that letter
didn't get to be seen by you.
The mother you resented that much
regretted throwing you away
and she wished to live with you one more time.
You're lying.
Then I..
What did I..
You're too a weak human being.
Before you die, face life as a human being.
Feel that heaviness.
It may be painful
but that's the punishment for the sins you did.
I..
You're not a born monster.
You were born by a mother that loved you.
We found the girl safe.
And your mother too.
Tatsumi's death penalty got enforced today.
Who would expect that the kidnapper
was Tatsumi's little brother.
Even though her husband died when she was pregnant
if she just didn't let
go of Tatsumi..
Even then, there
is no room for sympathy.
Human can come back to their feet after any tradegy.
We can't blame someone's upbringing or misfortune.
I wonder what
he thought the last moments.
The people
he killed.
At the end, he went to that world
not as a monster, but as a human.
That's what I want to believe.
