I'm sure you all recognize this equation.
Photons.
Oh, I'm not talking pictures captured on film.
That was a joke...
A joke...
Anyway, Photons.
The speed of light is constant,
but it is affected by distortions in spacetime caused by gravity.
Simply put, the light takes a detour.
Theoretically, there has to be another trajectory which is the shortest distance.
Assuming there is an elementary particle that can travel this trajectory...
You there.
- Yes? - Yes?
I'm glad you're both motivated.
What will happen?
The class is over,
but this is the interesting part, so I'll continue.
I'm sure you're all...
He does have a world-class brain.
If you look really closely, he's pretty handsome too.
But he's just somewhat... disappointing in so many ways.
Nothing we can do about that! That's what my brother's all about.
He's a man of science.
Matsushima Lab
Asahi made this bread for you.
Get me milk... milk!
Yes. Now it's a complete meal.
From flour, sweet bean paste, and soybean flour in the bread,
you can find carbohydrates, protein, fat, sugar, calcium, and mineral.
I can get all the nutrition I need from this.
It's a perfect complete meal.
I'm surprised a freak like you found such a beautiful and kind girlfriend.
Our encounter was inevitable, okay?
This bread is really good.
Oh, of course it is. Asahi made it.
You were just getting to the interesting part.
I can't believe the chime went off.
Unlucky for your students.
Someone messed with the chime.
14 days ago? Yeah, during the third period.
What?
He's been murdered.
Who?
Professor Minorigawa, just earlier.
B-By whom? Who killed him?
I'll get going.
Where to?
I'm the next in line to die.
What are you saying?
If my theory is accurate, that is.
Well, unfortunately it is.
- Calm down! - I'm calm.
I have to find a fault in my theory, or a accept this theory as a fact and find a solution...
But I won't give up.
I have to protect Asahi.
Wait, your glasses!
What's this...?
Why is my brother's name...
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Ando.
Ando Asahi.
A phone call from the groom, Matsushima Reiji!
Stop joking around with me.
We're about to have a press meeting for our mess.
I'm not joking!
It's from your new hubby, Mr. Reiji.
From Reiji?!
He absolutely needs to tell you something!
Pick it up!
Hello?
Sorry, do you have time to talk?
Yes... what's wrong?
You've never called me here before.
Well, I'm going to be murdered soon.
Huh?!
I'm almost 100% certain.
In about 2 hours and 13 minutes.
By the way, you'll also be killed if we don't do something about it.
Wait, what do you mean by that?
I told you before, right?
That the future has already been determined.
But don't worry. I swear to protect you, even if I'm killed.
Even after 100 years...
I'll always be protecting you.
Hey, your jokes are never funny.
Trust me.
I...
I love you.
Hello?
Excuse me, was that a prank call?
Probably.
I expected as much!
I can understand him calling your cell, but the office number in this day and age?
I'm sorry.
I have no idea how they let a bug like that slip through.
Are they stupid?
The higher ups in our company are morons.
What is it?
Ando will be slaughtered in the press meeting if we followed this script.
The reporters covering this industry are all super nerds.
Is it really him this time?
Hello?
Oh, hello?
It's me.
Did you get a weird phone call just now?
Yes.
I knew it!
Someone's pretending to be me in prank calls lately.
But don't worry.
Oh, I know! Let's eat out somewhere tonight.
Who are you?
What?
Reiji doesn't know my cell phone number.
He doesn't eat out either.
I wanted to surprise you.
You're lying.
Who are you?
Reiji really doesn't know your cell phone number?
Yeah. He's weird that way.
Thank you all for waiting.
I would like to apologize and explain our countermeasures regarding the malfunction of our Enigma Cloud...
Your countermeasure is far too late.
The data we entrusted you with is out in the open.
Can you pay for the damages?
Yes.
We will handle them on a case-by-case basis in the event of financial damages.
The data stored with us is individually encrypted using our latest technology.
Even if another company stole our data, they would not be able to access its contents.
Therefore, even if...
Maiasa Newspaper's Mr. Uraite took and stored a scandalous picture with a prostitute,
rest assured, no one would find out.
The IP addresses we are suspecting now are...
Detective Isaku, an interesting document is circulating online.
A homicide calendar!
We don't know if they're all murders,
but everyone other than the last two have died at the specified time.
Some of the cases are still classified,
so it may be for real.
Who made it?
Please don't get mad at me again.
According to the Cyber Crimes Department,
the analysis leads to the conclusion that it was made by someone in the year 2113.
That's a hundred years in the future.
A hundred years again, huh?
Let's go.
Where?
We're leaving.
We're going to protect this Matsushima Reiji guy.
Really?
Find his whereabouts now.
Tell the higher ups that he might be a terrorist.
Find him using facial recognition systems.
We'll handle the rest.
Please get going.
Go where?
Go find Reiji.
It's not time to go home yet.
Okay. It's time to go home.
Bye, I'm leaving early.
Bye!
Call History: Matsushima Nanase
Incoming call: Matsushima Nanase
Nanase?
Oh, Asahi! I finally reached you!
Did my brother try to contact you?
What do you mean?
My brother said he was going to be killed or something.
I'm looking for him right now.
So it was true...
I'm heading over there right now.
What do you mean it was true?
Hello?
You're breaking up.
Tell me more when I get there.
Opponent: BalletMechanic Level 9
Shogi Battle: Connecting to BalletMechanic
No Response
Sunny Chiba challenges BalletMechanic
Hi, I just started playing Shogi. I would like to request a match against the champion, Sunny Chiba.
Fine, fine.
Challenge accepted.
Battle start!
You lose!
Pathetic!
You have been defeated!
Your opponent is probably Professor Matsushima Reiji from Tokyo Imperial University.
Match Result Your opponent is probably Professor Matsushima Reiji from Tokyo Imperial University.
You know him?!
BalletMechanic, right?
That's his handle.
I hear he's making a Shogi software that surpasses that of Bonanza's.
First to move. 5-6 Silver.
Good move, Sunny Chiba.
Then... take Bishop.
Take Knight.
Ah! The rook is really powerful on that side!
Sorry, Sunny Chiba, you lose.
What?
Uh... did you just respond to me?
I did.
Who are you?
I know!
S-Sunny Chiba!
I was wondering when I'd see you in person.
You're just as I imagined.
Perfect!
You play Shogi without looking at the board?
Sorry, I was looking at the stars.
What?
It's daytime.
The stars are still shining up there in the daytime.
Most people don't notice because of the sunlight,
but they take dozens, hundreds...
some light even take over a thousand years to reach Earth on this very moment.
I know that.
T-Then do you think our own planet at this very moment wants to...
tell someone about something in the future?
Tell something?
Would it want to tell anyone else about this world?
Y-Yeah... our world does have problems...
Actually, we're filled with problems.
But our encounter here today...
I think it's a historic event.
The fact that you came over here.
It's a miracle!
So... thank you? I guess.
Thank you very much.
What? What?
Hey...
What is it?
I thought you were using a computer program like a coward.
Computers can only choose.
It can only choose a move that leads to highest possibility of winning from past data.
You're an idea-based Shogi player.
You master moves that no one has ever thought of before.
A computer program can't beat you.
You talk as if you can.
I'm still a man, so I'll protect you when it really counts.
I'll definitely protect you.
I... uh...
Thanks to having met you, Ando Asahi,
I've found joy in life, so...
I found joy in protecting...
the person I cherish the most in this universe.
Joy in protecting?
Yeah...
Marry... Marry me.
I will!
What's a homicide calendar?
I don't know.
They've been circulating online for some time now, but...
Who are the others?
They're all researchers like my brother.
As you see in this document...
They're all dead?
But I'm not a researcher.
Did my brother tell you anything?
We never talk about work.
A message from Grancia Airlines.
Flight 113 to New Delhi at 11:10 will begin boarding soon...
I've been waiting for you, Mr. Matsushima Reiji.
You're the person who's scheduled to kill me?
You don't seem surprised.
You're smiling when you're about to be killed?
No, it's the scientist in me.
I'm always happy when my theory is proven to be true.
"Told you so!", you know?
Incomprehensible.
I just gave you an explanation. What don't you understand?
It was just as I predicted, you know?
You can die happy now.
I can't agree to that.
There's someone I have to protect.
Even if it costs my life.
You only have 45 minutes and 16 seconds left in your life.
The future is set in stone.
I came here to change the future.
There are hundreds of surveillance cameras here that can't be hacked from the outside.
Oh, and as for my passport,
it's been shredded.
So you can't kill me the way you planned.
Nothing is impossible for us.
The camera cannot capture us due to Oozing-Out.
Your plan is pathetic for someone with an IQ of 245.
Oozing-Out...
Oh, I see!
Then... I just have to defeat you.
Defeat me?
How?
I'll keep trying until I win.
As many times as it takes.
Simple as that.
If you were alive, that is.
It's earlier than scheduled,
but I'll at least destroy your body at the specified time in history.
I told you, I'll keep trying until I win.
Incomprehensible.
Hello?
I found out that Reiji boarded Grancia Airlines Flight GR-113 headed for New Delhi.
What are you talking about?
Reiji is going to India on a plane.
What about the passport log at immigrations?
It's been registered in the log.
Why is he going to India?
That plane is in danger.
The prediction was for 20 minutes ago. He's safe.
Was it my brother's prank?
He does act stupid sometimes.
Yeah.
TNN Newsflash
Grancia Airlines Narita to New Delhi Flight 113 has disappeared over the Pacific Ocean.
Matsushima Reiji has been killed as predicted.
Maybe he had some sort of a plan.
Some plan that involves his own death as a move to accomplish something else.
A piece of flesh thought to have belonged to Matsushima Reiji.
It miraculously survived.
This is the result of the DNA analysis.
There's no mistake about it.
I don't remember ordering such an investigation.
Federal investigators don't wait for orders.
No smoking in this room.
About this case...
We were able to track Matsushima Reiji's every move from Tokyo Imperial University
to this Point-A in Narita Airport.
I can only imagine this Matsushima guy purposefully left clues of his actions.
Then he vanished at this Point-A.
But he slipped through immigrations,
and appeared on Flight 113 to New Delhi.
Followed by the explosion and his death.
What do you make of that paranormal phenomenon?
The camera malfunctioned.
We've already taken that issue into account.
I've never seen you before.
No introductions?
I'm Kadoshiro, your superior.
This paranormal phenomenon you mentioned...
We've already requested PSIA Section-5 to investigate.
My superior?
Never heard of you before.
You never show up to the meetings.
I introduced him to everyone a long time ago.
No matter how famous of a detective you are.
if you refuse to follow the organization's orders,
I'll have you transferred.
Got it?
Yes, sir.
How did it go?
Take this conversation to Godai for analysis.
Godai? The private investigator?
Yeah.
Analyze what?
The voices.
They sounded flat. Creeped me out.
According to the passenger list released earlier,
Nobel Prize hopeful and professor at Tokyo Imperial University,
Grancia Airlines Flight 113: Crew and passengers presumed dead. Nobel Prize hopeful and professor at Tokyo Imperial University,
Grancia Airlines Flight 113: Crew and passengers presumed dead. Matsushima Reiji was among the victims.
That list was for real.
Damn it!
Nanase...
Let's go to the police for protection.
What are you talking about?
Who cares if it's foolish? It's all over if you die!
Yeah, but...
The police won't take this document seriously.
And I...
Listen.
I feel as if Reiji is still alive somewhere.
I know that sounds foolish, but...
Somehow...
I can feel his presence...
I can feel his life.
No matter what, he'll never give up.
No matter what, he'll keep on living.
He'll definitely survive and appear before us.
That's my hunch.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
I got all hysterical.
I should be apologizing.
It's hardest on you.
I'm also starting to feel...
like my brother is still alive.
You must be exhausted.
Let's just call it a day.
Yeah.
Bye.
...recovery of the flight recorder may be the key to rescue.
We're hoping for the rescue effort will prove to be successful,
and we're praying for the safety of the passengers...
Incoming: Mother
She should let us comfort her at times like this.
Reiji...
Please set up everything exactly as you see in the photo.
Okay.
Hey, are you really going to duplicate your university office in this room?
Yeah, but 18 books weren't in print anymore, so I ordered a publisher to print them.
I'm so glad you didn't have expensive machines in your office.
But I ordered these desks and chairs to be identical, so they cost about 2.3 million yen.
Those cost 2.3 million yen?!
Why are you making an office at home, too?
I can't reduce my research hours, but if I had this room,
then I can spend time with you even when I'm researching,
and I can protect you.
Protect me?
How about...
I can't get enough of that!
It's ready.
Dinner's ready.
Thanks for the meal.
Matsushima Reiji, Ando Asahi
Room 306... Matsushima Reiji, Ando Asahi
Ando Asahi 10/08 08:30 Yoyogi
10 minutes left.
Let's see what kind of freak shows up.
Hello? It's me.
Asahi?!
A-Are you okay?
Saki...
Reiji is dead.
I don't think I can live without him.
W-What are you saying?
Hello? Ando?
I'm sorry, Hoshi.
Please take care of the rest.
Ando?
Hello...
Sorry, I gotta go.
The train will soon arrive on...
You'll also be killed.
Die.
Stop the train!
Someone fell!
Excuse me, sir?!
No way.
Reiji?
You're not Reiji.
You must be Ando Asahi.
I already analyzed you.
Who are you?
Android ARX II-13.
I have been ordered by my client to protect you from all harm.
Android?
Executing defensive program.
Don't touch me!
You would've been killed by that train if I hadn't saved you.
It was a pre-determined event in history.
Ando Asahi - Yoyogi
How did you get this?
Reiji...
Did Reiji really die?
No.
He's alive?!
He didn't just die.
He was murdered.
Murdered?
By whom?
An android named Laplace.
The same one that tried to kill you just now.
The truth is always beyond human comprehension.
Cruel truths were supposed to be kept from you, but I have no choice.
I will show you the footage I just retrieved from Laplace.
Put this on.
Play.
I told you, I'll keep trying until I win.
Reiji...
We're in a state of emergency.
The enemy is right there.
I'm here to kill you.
You're...
You're bleeding!
No problem.
I'm an expendable product designed to survive destruction.
But human beings aren't. Don't do anything stupid.
I will avenge Reiji.
You're no match for her.
I won't know until I try.
Your odds of winning are 0%.
You'll die for nothing.
By the way, your death... is prohibited.
Who prohibited it?
My client.
Who is it?
Asahi!
I don't know who the client is.
You're so useless.
Give that back.
Asahi. Asahi!
You won't get away with this.
I'll never let you...
Old lady!
Shouldn't you destroy ARX II-13 first?
Who are you?
A human being can actually see me?
Not that I care.
I cannot identify your life sign.
I am terminating you as an unidentified human being.
Was that a Prandtl-Glauert Singularity?
What a joke!
Tada! Here I am! I've been summoned!
Shut up. Fucking boss!
Let's see if I can repair the program!
Yes! Download the latest program data!
Good morning.
It's murder time!
Prohibited?
That's not possible.
Oh, shit!
What an unsightly face.
Never mind him. I'll kill you first.
Activating Asura System.
Did it just say Asura System?
I see, you're a model loaded with the forbidden, infernal OS.
Matsushima Reiji.
He exists even after death.
In the form of fierce passion.
As if!
Ando Asahi is prohibited from dying.
I don't know who you are,
but alteration of history is a serious crime.
I will accomplish my mission.
Anything getting in my way will be destroyed.
Matsushima Reiji altered history.
We must repair the damage caused by him.
Ando Asahi must be killed for that reason.
Please cooperate with the police.
Your request has been rejected.
In that case, for obstruction of justice, I must arrest...
or terminate you.
Your unit's body will be destroyed in 79 seconds.
I am not the only officer here.
Ten other units have been printed into this era.
They all have higher specifications than you.
Not a problem.
I will defeat all ten units.
Defeat them? How?
I'll keep trying until I win.
As many times as it takes.
Simple as that.
I told you, I'll keep trying until I win.
Requesting permission for atomic disposal.
Execute atomic disposal.
Did... Reiji really die?
He didn't just die.
He was murdered.
Then... why do you have his face?!
It's the request of my client,
to kill anyone to protect you.
If the entire world turns against you,
then I will kill them all.
Justice without power is meaningless.
You're not making any sense!
I have no idea what's happening here!
Enough of this nonsense.
You're prohibited from dying.
How am I supposed to continue living without Reiji?
If I have to suffer through this,
I should've just died like that document said I would!
Do you want to die that much?
If you are opposed to my client's wishes,
then you leave me no choice.
I'll kill you.
Requesting permission to terminate Ando Asahi.
I swear to protect your life.
I told you, I'll keep trying until I win.
Reiji!
I got permission to terminate you.
I never asked for you to protect me.
I don't want you to protect me.
You're not my client.
Why do you look so much alike?
Pisses me off.
Delicious.
I'll kill Matsushima Nanase.
Stay away!
