He tossed her corpse off the balcony,
then cleared up traces of a struggle
and ran away after returning the room to its former state.
Even the sequence is the same.
This bracelet... Ryo fixed it for her.
And what's more, the sequence of the beads...
is exactly the same as it was before.
I have a burn scar too.
We're two of a kind with our scars.
Where is that female university student's photo?
I thought so!
It's her.
I don't know what to do.
I'm not going back today.
The sequence...
is the same as before.
Eh...
Looks pretty on the outside...
but inside is a little...
No matter which place, it's all the same.
Is that so?
Really?
I see.
Although pretty looking,
the inside is a little...
This is for you.
Thanks.
15 more minutes...
It's about 15 minutes before the others arrive.
I haven't been working here for long yet.
It'll be a little funny to be here with a policeman.
This is delicious.
It's Earl Grey.
I see.
What's Earl Grey...?
Right!
Miwa-chan left this...
I heard it has been repaired once.
Although the beads were scattered around,
now every single one of them is in the correct place.
Unbelievable, eh?
You know about that female university student's murder case?
Yeah.
The videotapes in that girl's house...
right, have you watched "Chocolat" before?
- Nope. - It's interesting.
We'll leave that for later.
Those videotapes...
were put in the same sequence...
as they were before the struggle.
Unbelievable, eh?
This is unbelievable...
That is unbelievable as well...
Exactly the same?
Exactly.
Unbelievable indeed...
Maybe it was done by the same person.
That would be you.
- Oh, then that's not true. - Really?
I don't know that student at all.
You don't know her?
- No. - Is that so?
Well, I must be going now.
- Well, have a nice day. - You too.
Right...
one more question.
How does it feel to kill?
Thrilling.
But I've only killed in "Biohazard" before.
- What's that "Biohazard" thing? - It's a video game.
A game, I see. They make my eyes hurt...
That's because you're old...
Yeah, a real geezer...
But if you underestimate a geezer,
you might end up hurt.
Thanks!
How's that university student's murder case?
Hardly any progress.
The victim's lover was that Okuma Keigo, right?
He denied having any part.
Did you investigate everyone in this photo?
Of course, the department has done that.
How about this girl?
Miyashita Yuki, she's 19.
She's a friend of the victim's.
The photo was taken in a party she was invited to.
Not that close a friend.
What are you up to?
I've seen this girl before.
A friend of a friend.
A friend?
Right, you come with me.
Why didn't you return before morning, Miwa?
Where did you go and what did you do?
I was together with Ryo-san.
Ryo?
That French restaurant from the other time...
That apprentice cook?
I like him.
I don't remember raising such a loose daughter.
Hello?
It's me, Miwa.
What's happened?
I have a request.
What is it?
I can't leave my home.
Father and Mother heard about that person
and they won't let me go out now.
"That person" meaning... that person from REVE?
Yes, Ryo-san.
I spent an entire night with him.
Yuko-san.
Can you arrange for me to meet him?
I got it.
This photo is good, right?
That's the 15,000 yen course menu.
Yes.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
This one is okay.
Thank you, sorry for the trouble.
It'll be published next month. I'll mail it to you then.
I'll let the boss know.
Thank you.
What is it?
Something else...?
- Why aren't there any cucumbers left? - I'm sorry.
The grocer will bring them soon.
- Really? - So we'll have some.
That's good.
- It looks busy now. - Lunch time is approaching.
Sorry...
just three minutes.
It's about Miwa.
She can't leave her home freely now.
- Why? - You're asking why?
Because she spent the night with you.
- You put it bluntly. - Because that's how it was, right?
And?
And so...
She wants to see you, so she asked me to arrange it.
Cupid.
You might be just having fun, but it's hard for Miwa.
- Hard? - Right.
She's a rich man's daughter.
It's hard for her to associate with someone like you.
- I'm sorry. - I understand what you're saying.
It happens often, lovers with different social positions.
Well, anyway, what should I do?
I'll bring Miwa out... I hope you'll go see her.
Okay.
Call me then.
Got it.
Your phone number...
She knows.
She?
Miwa.
Right...
Well, bye.
What?
Thank you for this.
[NISHIHARA] I heard from your mother just now.
You came home late after karaoke with your friends
and got scolded by your father.
What a stubborn princess.
Forever like a child.
Well, then..
to get you back in a good mood, let's have some cake together.
Mother, please have some cake.
This lobster salad... and this mussel soup...
Kan-chan! That's not right!
These are appetizers.
These are the main dishes.
Order one of each.
Is that so?
Excuse me...
This is the dinner menu.
These are sets for lunch.
What's that... Well, I'll have curry then.
We don't have curry.
Well, then... get that young guy over here.
Eh?
That Ryo guy, I know him.
Yes, please wait for a while.
I'm sorry.
- Kan-chan. - No problem.
- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.
She's a friend.
- I'm sorry to be dressed like this. - Not at all.
My girlfriend.
The other time,
you asked me to bring my girlfriend.
What a beautiful lady.
Well, bon appetit.
- Sorry to disturb you during work. - No problem.
Excuse me.
A handsome fellow.
A demon.
Although he looks like that,
he really is a demon.
A Million Stars Falling From The Sky
Episode 4
What a shock, to be called your girlfriend.
I'm sorry if I shocked you.
But it was the first time for you to enjoy French cuisine.
There won't be a next time.
It felt uncomfortable.
Why?
After seeing that guy...
That guy just now?
- What do you think? - What should I say?
He seems like an ordinary guy.
I have a feeling about him.
What kind?
About the case, the murder of the female student.
Well, I think he did it.
That can't be...!
Why?
But, Kan-chan...
Haven't you seen several killers up to now?
Crimes are committed because someone feels inadequate in some way.
But he's good looking
and has a good place in society.
Is that so?
Did I get it wrong?
Very strange.
Strange Kan-chan.
The one who usually doesn't attend investigation meetings
is suddenly interested in the female student's case.
It's because of him, isn't it?
I guess so...
Why is it like this?
I don't know...
I don't know myself.
But that guy...
something about him makes you get serious.
It's nothing in particular.
Somehow that guy...
gives off a dangerous feel.
Makes me...
He makes me feel
uneasy.
He isn't here, is he? Yuko-san, wait!
Where is he?
How are you?
I'm very happy.
I wanted to see you.
Then I'm off.
There'll be trouble if we don't go back together.
Father and Mother will...
I understand,
I'll come back later.
When should I come back?
Whenever is convenient for you.
Well, 6 o'clock.
Got it!
Let's meet here.
What shall we do?
Only the two of us.
I wish we could be together alone.
Please press the button of a room that is still lit up.
What's wrong?
You said you wanted to be together alone.
Should we leave?
You're mean.
Please press the button of a room that is still lit up.
Kan-chan!
You're really here.
Isn't it enough?
It's already 25 years.
It's time to forget.
It's not so simple.
Kan-chan...
If I had pulled myself together then, it wouldn't be like this today.
I think you have already repaid enough.
You took care of Yuko-chan and brought her up.
I'm sorry.
But Yuko-chan doesn't realize anything.
Because she's an idiot.
She really thinks I'm her idiotic brother.
Her happiness
became the meaning of my life.
Then you are pretty pathetic yourself.
You're still young.
Not really.
Yuko-chan is strong.
I think you don't have to worry. She'll definitely be happy.
Yuko-chan won't have a problem.
I wonder...
She'll definitely be happy.
Is that so?
Now that you say it, I feel much better already.
Want some? Hey, you want some?
Shall we go?
Hurry up!
Miwa, you're late!
Your mother called.
Sorry. I switched off my mobile phone.
We couldn't get a signal there.
Yuko-san, what should we do?
If we take a taxi now, we'll be back quicker.
I'm going too.
What about the bike?
You can put it in, right?
Right!
No need.
I'll go back alone.
But if we return together, you won't be scolded.
I think it'll be the same.
After you leave, I'll be questioned anyway.
I see.
Sorry I kept you waiting here.
Don't mention it.
Thank you for bringing me out today.
I'll call you.
Don't worry if it's too hard.
Goodbye.
How about dinner?
Nobody eats with her friend's boyfriend.
Is that so?
Goodbye.
Hey!
Heeeeey!
What is it?
I can take you to the main road.
It's not good to be hanging out with your friend's boyfriend.
And how do we seat two people?
Well then, bye bye!
Bye bye...
I'm home!
Brother!
Sorry, Kotoko-san!
Water!
Get it yourself.
Careful!
Kotoko-san...
Would you like some tea?
- Thanks, but he needs water first... - Doesn't matter.
- Water... - Let's have some tea.
Really, brother...
Kotoko-san...
Please take care of my brother.
He doesn't seem to have any friends in the police station.
Sorry...
And he can't seem to get promoted.
Always underestimated by the chief, I think.
That's because he's not interested.
But he talks about a lot of things with you.
Yes.
No problem, leave it to me.
- Really? - Yes.
I'll try my best to be his good friend.
Thank you.
A friend...
What are you doing?
I have a hangover.
Good morning.
I want some tea too.
Okay, got it.
Mizoguchi,
make some tea.
Tea!
Okay...
Looking at the female student's murder case data again?
I wonder what kind of a girl the victim was?
Right, you know...
We thought she was from a rich family.
But they're almost bankrupt.
Really?
We also found some shards of fake fingernails on the floor.
Fake fingernails?
You don't know about them? No wonder you're so unpopular.
That's rude.
Those things Hamasaki Ayumi often wears.
I see. Are you wearing them too?
Well, I...
Ah, here...
Maybe these are the shards left behind by the victim.
Fake fingernails...
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Thank you.
Actually, I have something to ask you.
Do you have time?
I'd like to ask
about that guy called Ryo.
Who are you?
Oh, me?
Private detective?
No, no...
I am...
...And I'm not selling notebooks.
You were also interrogated...
about that female student's murder case.
You were in the photo.
It was a bother for you, wasn't it?
With them checking here and there.
They call everyone in the cell phone address book.
The companies also?
Of course.
Sounds like a lot of work.
Might seem like that for others,
but I don't do it myself.
We met once in that set-meal restaurant, right?
You were with that guy called Ryo then.
I hope you don't get angry,
but I thought you were a hostess or something.
You're beautiful and showy, that's why.
Fired.
What?
That kind of places means good money,
but usually I get fired quickly.
Why?
I'm too shy,
and unsocial.
I tried to work in the pleasure industry, but it didn't work.
When I get customers I don't like, I throw up right away,
so they get angry with me.
Oh, sorry.
You are very honest, that's good.
You are funny.
That was a boring movie.
- Boring? - Yes.
But you were laughing quite a lot.
I didn't think it was interesting.
I wanted to laugh to create an atmosphere.
I thought it would make you laugh too.
I'm sorry,
I didn't realize that.
No, don't apologize.
Eh... well..
this side, please...
No matter what, you laughed for my sake.
You could say that...
And I didn't realize it...
I'm sorry.
No, no, I'm sorry.
I made a wrong choice today.
Usually I have good taste in movies.
Do you have a top five when it comes to movies?
For me... Oh, sorry...
I'm sorry.
For me, the top five is:
Number five is "La Strada" by Fellini
Number four: "À Bout De Souffle"
Number three: "Vacation in Rome"
Number two: "Forrest Gump"
and the best is
The second "Indiana Jones", "The Temple of Doom".
How about you?
How about your list?
I'm sorry, but I don't usually watch movies.
Ah... sorry for asking.
But...
if it's about Laws of Electricity,
Number five would be Kirchhoff's Law
Number four: Ampère's Law
Number three: Fleming's Law...
You don't get it, huh?
Fleming's Law we learned in high school physics class...
Yes, yes, I remember...
Well,
I don't know if I should say this,
but that Ryo person
is dating one of my friends.
That rich man's daughter?
You know about it?
Somehow.
It doesn't matter if they are dating.
Doesn't matter..?
Because he won't open his heart to anybody.
It's closed shut.
To him, dating a girl is somewhat meaningless.
Nobody can get close to him.
And you're different?
You're special?
You'll open up his heart?
Sorry...
about all that...
Sorry to trouble you.
Sorry.
Thank you for today.
No, I should thank you.
Thank you for everything so far.
What do you mean by that?
You're a good person, therefore you'll feel bad if you reject me.
I'm used to it, it's not the first time I've had a blind date.
This is the fourth time. The previous times I was rejected.
Once, I thought
it's impossible to even meet.
I thought I would turn it down but she was quicker.
Well, it doesn't matter...
So I thought,
I would be rejected this time as well.
But
after seeing Yuko-san,
after seeing somebody so cute and so beautiful,
I felt like it's enough,
I felt very happy.
Not just the looks.
A person like that must surely be gentle inside as well.
Can you really tell that?
Yes, I can.
I have learned about women from the movies.
I'll go get a taxi.
I guess it'll be easier by the main street.
Kusaka-san?
Yes?
Could we still meet again?
I'd like to see the movies from your top five list.
Idiot!
What an idiot!
Stop calling me an idiot.
He just said something a little polished and you are all dazed!
You said it like, "Shall we meet again?"
You're blind dating! Blind dating!
Meeting one more time would be like getting married!
Right?
He'll be expecting marriage now!
- You might be right. - Of course!
It's not like an innocent date, right?
Maybe nobody asks you to date
because you're already close to 30.
Only aliens and weirdoes would go for you.
So it's really marriage?
You are really silly.
- I don't want to hear that from you! - Who else would tell you that?
Stop acting cool...
Brother, do you want me to get married or not?
Forget it, I'll think about it myself.
I want you to get married.
Oh, right! Hey idiot, Miwa-chan called you.
Yes?
Miwa,
call from Yuko-san.
Thank you.
Hello Miwa.
I can't get out anymore
because I was late the other time.
I can't even go out of my room.
Miwa...
Yuko-san.
Please...
give my letter to him.
Letter?
Okay, see you at the set-meal restaurant tomorrow.
Set-meal restaurant?
Hey Ryo!
I'm coming!
Sorry, I have to go. I mean "Tanuki."
I'm sorry.
Selfish...
[CLOSED]
What shall we do?
Here!
A letter from Miwa.
There is a good ramen place nearby, shall we go there?
It's near.
Near.
Wait a minute!
Wait!
What...?
You must be kidding.
What's going on?
There's another one in front of the station.
Maybe not so tasty, but should we go?
If it's not so tasty, I don't wanna go.
You're so selfish.
There's a good ramen shop over there.
Want to eat there?
Not really.
Do they use garlic there?
What... hey!
Which way?
Hey!
You'll be run over!
Come on!
Quickly!
It's hot here.
Why?
Because of the burn mark?
How did it happen?
You said it happened when you were young.
Fire.
Fire?
Our house burnt up in a fire.
Everything burned.
The house,
parents,
memories...
everything burned.
Let's not talk about it, it makes me feel sad.
How old were you?
Two years... or three.
I don't remember anything.
- Not anything? - No.
About my father or my mother...
How about you?
How about your burn mark?
Ah...
I don't know.
You don't know?
My dad died in a traffic accident when I was five.
My mom... she was never around.
This happened earlier.
I don't remember
and nobody's told me anything.
So that's why I don't know.
How did you survive after that?
You really want to go there?
It will get pretty depressing.
Nevermind, it's okay if you don't want to talk about it.
An orphanage.
It would have been good if I had a brother like you did.
Fingernails.
Fake fingernails.
Why don't you take a break?
I met her a few days ago.
Did you find out anything?
Nothing important...
She's been dating that Ryo guy.
That French cuisine guy again?
You keep thinking about him.
He has a burn mark.
I heard he got it when he was little.
What are you saying?
Come on...
Don't tell me you think he's that boy from 25 years ago.
Impossible, Kan-chan.
There are so many boys with a burn mark in this world.
That's true.
Well, I gave you the letter already.
Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
Bye bye then.
Hello.
Ah, brother...
Could you bring me an umbrella?
No way. It's really raining.
That's why I'm asking.
Come on and bring it.
Oh, all right.
I shouldn't have picked up the phone.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Umbrella..?
What?
Where's the other umbrella?
Don't say you don't have another one? Foolish girl!
Oh, shut up!
Right, want to go for tea sometime?
What? A date with Brother?
You always came along happily when you were little.
Always wanting to drink an ice cream soda.
We have to eat it again sometime.
Brother, I want to eat it now!
Hey! I asked you to bring an umbrella!
Oh, eating it made me feel even colder.
What a fool.
I told you not to eat it all.
Yeah, you told me to leave some, just like when I was a kid.
That's why I finished it all in one go.
What a fool.
You'll never get married.
I've always wanted to say this.
Cream soda is not to be eaten. It's to be drunk.
No, it's to be eaten. That's why it comes with a spoon.
It's for drinking. That's why it's on the drink menu.
Not for drinking! Eating!
Oh that's right, you're one of those...
- Yeah? - ...who call a tomato a fruit!
Oh...
Brother!
Wait!
Oh, you clumsy fool!
We're not climbing mountains now! Why are you wearing shoes like those!
I'm getting wet!
I'm the one getting wet! Hurry up!
Okay, I'm ready!
Look out!
Brother!
- Brother!
Brother!!
