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.
Jeez...
What an awful way to go...
The victim was Assistant Inspector Akutsu from Marunouchi Police Station. The murder weapon appears to have been a remodeled gun.
They used a powerful improved bullet, and fired one shot "bang" into his head...
Inspector!
According to a witness, someone fled the murder scene after being shot in the stomach by the killer.
What?
It's probably a colleague of the victim, Assistant Inspector Rinzaki.
Witness
This is PS here. All PCs please report in. Over.
Metropolitan Police Department
This is PC 36. We're currently patrolling the second block of Yayoi town. We've not located Assistant Inspector Rinzaki yet. Over.
This is PS. Roger. Continue to search the town. Over.
Bar
Karaoke
The town had a different atmosphere than usual...
This is PC 36. Roger.
The atmosphere in the town was one of menace, filled with the feelings of grief and anger of every police officer for their murdered comrade.
Hey, that's...
Assistant Inspector Rinzaki was found dead.
His brain will be arriving soon.
Shot in the head
The victims were both inspectors...
No matter how many times you experience it, it's always a shock to have a comrade killed.
We'll arrest the killer no matter what!
The murderer who killed one of our own!
Shot in the stomach
We've got to arrest the killer soon,
especially if the killer's using bullets from remodeled guns...
Improving the bullets...
Is the killer a gun maniac or...
Has the killer got some kind of strong obsession?
Assistant Inspector Rinzaki's MRI investigation began.
The system will be operating soon.
Percentage of operating neurons: 80...
...90...
...120 percent.
The image is appearing.
Starting lip-reading:
"He's seriously late now. Did something happen?"
It seems like they were waiting for someone...
A meeting in such an isolated place?
He's checking his bullets.
They seem awfully cautious...
I wonder who they were trying to make contact with.
Assistant Inspector Akutsu has been shot!
By the man in the parka?
Rinzaki!
Rinzaki was shot too?!
Rinzaki's leaving the scene!
Who's Rinzaki following?
Huh? Hey, rewind it.
Yes, sir.
So, this is the man in the parka.
It can't be!
What's wrong?
His name is Saijyou Shinichi. He was my classmate in the police academy.
Contact Section One of Criminal Investigation.
Yes, sir.
Saijyou...
Why would a police officer kill another police officer...
This is Saijyou's record.
Saijyou Shinichi
It appears that Saijyou had resigned.
It appears he was dismissed after a disciplinary hearing.
The reason?
An assault.
He punched his superior, Kumai.
Saijyou was working at the same police station as his victims.
And? Where is he likely to be hiding?
We don't know.
Why would he kill his own former colleagues?
It'll all become clear once you arrest Saijyou.
Assistant Inspector Rinzaki must've seen something else...
Somebody! Help!
Pickpocket! There's a pickpocket!
I knew it!
You've discovered something new about Rinzaki?
Please take a look at this.
This was a past case Rinzaki and the others investigated.
This man shot that boy.
This man... haven't we seen him before?
Where was it...
He's the fast-tracking bureaucrat from the Central Government Office.
Police PR With Justice in His Heart A shrewd police inspector from an elite family
Inspector Kumai serves at Marunouchi Police Station.
Kumai? You mean Inspector Kumai? The nephew of the Minister of Justice?
Wasn't he the superior who was assaulted by Saijyou?
Saijyou is talking to Kumai:
"He had no weapon...
...and yet you shot him?"
"Listen carefully. This will be our secret."
So they hushed up this scandal...
"I will inform our superiors."
Two of the people who witnessed this were murdered, so...
Saijyou's next target is...
...Kumai.
Saijyou, don't repeat your sin again...
Kumai-chan! Come by again.
Sure! See ya.
Kumai...
This is Kumai! I've found the suspect, Saijyou!
Requesting backup!
It's from headquarters.
Saijyou Shinichi was spotted in the vicinity of the Yayoi neighborhood.
Soga!
Higashiuchi Parking Lot?
Get in!
Director...
Soga?
Saijyou, don't commit any more crimes!
They took away my happiness!
Saijyou!
Drop your weapon and surrender yourself!
Kumai! Why did you shoot him?!
I-It was self-defense!
Saijyou...
Saijyou!
I had a quick look at Saijyou's brain and... he had quite a few images.
"This is our secret."
"Forget everything you've seen."
This is only a fraction of it.
Forget everything you've seen.
What?
Burnable trash
For shredding
Trash

One day, I swear I will disclose it!
The train will soon arrive.
For your own safety, please stand back behind the yellow line.
Looking for Witnesses We are seeking witnesses of an accident that occurred on the 12th of May at 2:40 PM. Please contact the address on the left if you have any information.
Hey, you. Did you get permission for this?
If you don't, I'm sorry but...
He's put them up to this...
I only told you to threaten him!
I never thought it'd turn into such a big case!
Kumai! You!
Saijyou!
Stop it!
Do you realize what'll happen to you?!
I will not forgive you! I will never forgive you!
With my own hands, I will-
It's almost the last cut.
A precious family...
They looked so happy...
So, Saijyou's motive was...
...a grudge that led to murder.
If only Kumai and the others hadn't covered that up...
[Note: Title of the report and the CD is "Criminal Case Related to Saijyou Shinichi."]
Are you sure, Maki?
You're standing against the nephew of the Minister of Justice.
The leader of the Committee is the Minister of Justice.
We will submit our report to the Committee as stated by the regulations,
and to the National Police Agency as well, of course.
No, Maki-kun. It'll be futile.
What you're about to do may be right, but...
I'm worried about Maki-san.
To begin with, who are the members that make up the Committee?
The Committee consists of members selected from various governmental bodies, but their names are withheld.
Kumai...
I won't let you have it your way.
The case of a youth shot dead ends with the arrest of Inspector Kumai
Looks like this has come to an end with the nephew's arrest.
The executives, who ignored the accusations Saijyou made, got away.
It's not really a satisfying ending...
To have to cover it up when you know the truth...
Then, what's the point of the MRI?
The Committee believes that this case spells the end of the Director's career...
That's just a rumor!
I'll always be a subordinate of Maki-san.
But isn't there a chance that Maki-san will get fed up and resign from the police?
That will never happen. He's still keeping Suzuki-san's brain safe, and that means he hasn't given up on solving that case.
What?
In the Director's mind, the case isn't over yet.
Suzuki and Kainuma's case isn't over.
Maki-san...
Want some of this?
You haven't changed. You always manage to surprise me by doing something completely unexpected.
It's been a while. Shall we watch that again?
You seem to like it, Suzuki.
"Like it"?
The MRI is incredible!
It's a cutting-edge investigation technique!
Even if the victim or the perpetrator dies, that won't be the end of the story!
We'd know the motives of the murderers which would otherwise have remained a mystery!
That's not all.
Professor Schubert.
Now everyone, take a good look.
Listen, this MRI system that I've developed has been one of humanity's dreams.
Everything about a person is in their brain.
To be able to see into the brain means that humanity can share the knowledge, the experiences, and the mistakes of past individuals.
Da Vinci, Einstein, and Hitler... what if it were possible to look into their brains?
What would you think?
Huh?
By accumulating the brains of geniuses and lunatics, and by learning from them, we'll be able to evolve forever.
For criminal investigations, it's just another avenue of investigation you can take to solve a crime.
You will all be involved in applying MRI in practice.
But isn't there a possibility that MRI will have an ill effect on humanity?
That's a good question. However, that's up to you and the Management Committee.
Yes, it's exhilarating.
Don't you think so, Maki?
For the future of MRI and humanity...
...and for Suzuki-san.

Mabuta no ura no kioku sae

Even the memories of you are branded into the back of my eyelids;
Kono katamari wo nurasu

they soak what's behind my eyelids.
Anata wo wasurete dokoka tooku
貴方を忘れてどこか遠く
I want to forget about you, and go somewhere far away.
Ikitai ikenai ikitai ikenai

I can't leave yet I want to leave, because I can't leave.
