In recent years, the number of vicious crimes was increasing rapidly.
In order to arrest the criminals and solve the cases, the police's scientific research center,
Forensic Investigation Office Section Nine, has begun investigating cases using MRI.
The image produced by the extracted brain of the victim not only shows the suspect,
but also the victim's entire memory.
Monokuro ni some ta hibi
モノクロに染めた日々
I stain the days in monochrome,
Maki modoshite wa sore wo kuri kaesu
巻き戻してはそれを繰り返す
and replay them again and again.
Dokoka no eiga de mita serifu narabete
どこかの映画で見たセリフ並べて
Lines with words from movies you've seen somewhere,
Kono kokoro kakushita mama heiki na kao shite aruiteta
このココロ隠したまま 平気な顔して歩いてた
I hide my feelings and walk on pretending I'm fine.
Ashimoto ni utsuri konde ita
足元に映り込んでいた
My face was reflected beneath my feet,
Yuganda boku no kao ga kanashisou ni miete ta
歪んだ僕の顔が悲しそうに見えてた
and contorted as if I was in sorrow.
Papa, Papa?
Deborah?
Papa, I'm sorry for interrupting your conversation,
but I really want to introduce him to you today.
"Him"?
Papa,
this is Matthew Harvey.
He works at the same research center as me.
Pleased to meet you, President.
I'm honored.
I respect the way you live as the cleanest President in history.
Papa? Papa?
I'm sorry, Matthew.
Papa can be surly.
But I wonder what's wrong? He's not normally like that.
Don't worry about it.
He was probably worried that his precious daughter might be snatched away from him.
But...
After all, your father is a President who's known as "The Good Father of the United States, the ideal father."
A week has passed
since the postmortem examination began on the brain of the Former President of the United States, John B. Reed.
There was nothing suspicious in the President's daily routine...
How's the analysis of that paper going?
It's almost there...
Ah, they're awake.
Morning, Mrs. Sarah.
Another one of the President's grueling days is about to start...
This was a Sunday.
He always says grace before every meal, and he never forgets to go to church service.
Even though it's a day of rest, he has meetings again.
He always sees the world from the perspective of a righteous and noble President.
What is there...
...to gain by discovering the secrets of a faithful man such as him?
Hey!
It slipped out—I'm sorry.
What did you just mean by that?!
Well...
The President is guiltless,
so can't we just allow him to rest in peace?
Well, he's still inexperienced. Sorry.
I'm appalled.
This is an important investigation of something that's never happened before in the history of the United States!
Why is there such a sentimental guy in this place?!
Please be patient,
I train my staff to never forget to respect those whose secrets we see.
It's just the result of my training.
What?
Besides, we need to cool down the machines,
so we'll stop here for today. That's fine, right?
Idiot, don't bring your personal feelings to the investigation.
Yeah...
You were saved by Maki-san; make sure you apologize to him.
I'm home.
So, about former President Reed's murder case...
Yes.
Apparently, the President took something like a piece of paper from his wallet,
tore it up, and threw it into the sea prior to his death.
So, what was it? This seems to be the key to this case.
That piece of paper is something that the President protected with his life.
Presumably this has to do with a secret treaty between nations,
some form of military operation, or possibly information from the Secret Service.
How did this information leak out?
What's going on? Who leaked this?!
Every member has been specially selected. There's no one in Section Nine who would leak information.
Then, how?!
This information is something that the FBI also knows.
What did you say?! You're saying it leaked from us?!
Erm...
It's a possibility. That's all.
What?!
Now, now... The moment someone finds out about a secret, it's bound to leak.
If you wanted nobody to know about it,
you'd have to keep it in your head and take it to the grave with you.
Though, what we're doing is delving after the secrets that lie there.
And that means, whatever we do, secrets will leak.
We can find out by asking that newscaster.
We'll handle the internal investigation.
Souda, file a complaint to the media, and strengthen censorship of the news.
Y-Yes.
Hello? This is Section Nine, could you connect me to the person responsible for Public Relations?
Ah, Kou-chan.
Welcome home.
You're going out so late again?
Yeah, some things came up.
Sis, you're not going to see that guy again, are you?
He said he really wants to see me now.
You said you'd stop seeing him.
I just want to hear him out; give him one more chance.
So you go to him every time he calls you?
You're allowing him to look down on you. Stop seeing him.
I want to see him...
I look at her in spite of myself...
...and I imagine...
If my brain is looked at right now,
my brain would be filled with images of you.
Kou-chan?
There's no other way but to eliminate it from inside my head...
Analysis of the piece of paper is complete.
Two pieces of paper were ripped.
Some kind of memo and a photograph.
Display it over here.
First, the photograph.
Hey, that's...
Yeah, Matthew Harvey.
Deborah's boyfriend!
Why?
His life was about to end, yet he took the trouble to...
Yeah, if he had time to rip this up,
he should have called the Secret Service with his mobile.
Anyway, why was he carrying that photograph?
Whatever the reason, ripping this photograph apart was more important to him than his own life.
This was something that was more important than the President's life?
What about the memo?
I'll put it on display now.
This is...
The location and time to meet.
Send that data over here.
It's been sent over.
The list of major international crime suspects.
Impressive...
I don't believe this...
Ross Macaulay!
Nationality and age unknown. He's a terrorist on the international wanted list.
Is it really the same man?
The handwriting matches one of the fake handwriting styles he's used in the past.
So the President was... by this man?
But the fact that the handwriting on the memo and the man in the photograph match the terrorist
doesn't confirm that he's the murderer...
The terrorist approached the President as his daughter's boyfriend,
that's plenty of evidence!
You're calm; was this what you suspected?
We were investigating Matthew Harvey as a suspect,
and now it turns out that Matthew and Ross are the same man.
Then why did you request our assistance?!
Well, what you say is correct; but we, the FBI, also need to save face.
There's no way we can allow the public to know that a terrorist managed to approach the President.
We'd hoped that he wasn't the murderer, but...
Nonetheless, thanks to you and your MRI investigation, it's clear who it was.
In order to continue this cooperation,
we demand you disclose all the information that you've acquired.
What connected Deborah and Matthew Harvey was this Economics Research Center in Boston.
A year ago, Harvey was hired in the middle of the year.
It seems that Harvey approached Deborah and frequently asked if he could see her father.
Then three months ago,
he was introduced for the first time at the President's birthday party,
and ever since then, he's been in and out of the President's official residence.
Where is this man now?
Soon after the President's funeral,
he disappeared from the research center and his flat.
We're currently in pursuit of him.
Can you come over for a sec?
It's an image from three days prior to the murder.
This man is... from the Secret Service!
What's he saying?
He said, "This memo is from Matthew."
The Secret Service was aiding him?
A month ago, the President received the photograph from the same Secret Service agent.
This is not a murder that was carried out single-handedly by Ross Macauley.
There's a possibility that this was planned systematically...
Damn it!
Inform Headquarters immediately.
Sure.
What we still don't understand is why the President was keeping that photograph safe with him...
Can we interpret that to mean that the President knew who Matthew was after all?
Let's return to the point when the two met for the first time.
Everything began from there.
So we're forcing open the door he tried to close?
Exactly. Prepare yourself.
The party at the White House.
It's here that Ross and the President had their first contact.
Papa, I'm sorry for interrupting your conversation,
but I wanted to introduce Matthew to you today.
What's this?
His perspective...
He's not looking at his face?
Pleased to meet you, President.
What's this feeling?
Is it because I'm embarrassed at looking into others' secrets?
Or is it because I can sense what the observer feels?
I'm honored.
I respect the way you live as the cleanest President in history.
He looked away? Again?
He's moving away...
Towards Ross Macauley...
Director, according to the interview with the First Lady, the President is really shy.
When he asked her to dance with him in high school,
he couldn't directly look into her eyes.
He's feeling the same way...
What does that mean?
Show me what happens.
Hey, was Ross Macauley that good looking?!
Why... do I feel so embarrassed?
I have seen the life of the President, including while he's in bed and on the toilet...
Why?
This image...
I remember this from somewhere...
That's the same world I've been seeing...
And by ripping and discarding the photograph of Ross Macauley,
the President wanted to keep that emotion within him after his death.
The President didn't know the true identity of Ross.
He was introduced to him at the party, and saw him for the first time there.
Since then, he continued to watch him.
It was a feeling that nobody would forgive.
but even so, the President continued...
...watching him.
And that's why he tried to keep it a secret with his life!
The secret he couldn't tell anyone!
But, President,
even if you ripped up the photograph, you can never eliminate the feelings you felt.
Or did you rip it up because you couldn't eliminate that feeling?
You loved him that much?
Well, thank you for your help.
No problem.
We promise you that we'll completely solve this case,
on our honor.
Please do so.
I thought you didn't give greetings.
Farewells are a different matter.
Are you really leaving?
Yeah, it's one of the rules that we have to live in the city.
Dad'll be lonely...
If things work out like you said they might with that man...
I'll take a holiday for your wedding.
Okay...
Listen now, Ikkou, tell us when you find out which section you'll be assigned to.
We're all looking forward to it.
Sure.
I'll eliminate it.
This torturing pain in my chest,
even the fact that I had a secret...
The day will come when I'll forget about it, and I can see her as being just another family member.
One, two and three!
W-What's with all the luggage?
Until I find a room, I'll be staying here.
Oh, yeah, I should get permission from Maki-san.
Hey, better not try it today.
That's right, he's in a worse mood than usual.
Ross Macauley's body was found in the sea.
He was shot right here.
On top of that, the Secret Service agent is missing too.
What?! Then how are they going to reveal the background behind the President's assassination?
It'll disappear into the darkness.
Though, I heard Investigator Casey and Ananin are in a rage and say that they will find out the truth no matter what...
But we couldn't fully solve the case that was brought here, so...
So the investigation is over?!
Who said it's over?
They will continue to investigate and we will always cooperate.
Listen, we have revealed a secret a great man has tried to protect with his life.
We can only atone by continuing this investigation and capturing the criminals involved.
In exchange for sharing the secret of the President,
we now have a great responsibility.
We should all have that engraved into our minds.
Yes, sir!
Each time you get to know others' secrets, you're the one burdened with it.
What a cruel duty this is...
This is what MRI investigation is...
Aoki,
can you handle it?
Erm, ah...Yes!
Scary!
Well, I've never seen the Director smile to begin with.
Maki-san smiling?
Wait a minute...
The Director is smiling...
Yeah, this is an article about the beginning of Section Nine from three years ago.
Those were the members at the time.
The man in the back... is that Onogida-san?
Who's the man next to the Director?
He's Suzuki-san.
Maki-san's best friend.
He passed away, though...
How?!
Maki-san shot him.
