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.

My face was reflected beneath my feet,

and contorted as if I was in sorrow.

Cram school's about to start!
Hurry up, Rikako!
Jeez... what's Rikako up to?
She said she couldn't get hold of Nagisa.
Really... why is she always moving at her own pace?
Huh?
You... There you are...
What?
No One is Watching (Part One)
I wonder what your father would have said if he had been able to see Ruriko in her dress...
Ruriko with the eldest son of the Ikkou family
I'm so overwhelmed...
And you were so against it too.
Honestly, Mother...
Congratulations, Sister.
I don't know what to say...
You look beautiful.
Kou-chan...
Excuse me...
It must be work.
I'm sorry, but I have to go.
I wish you all the happiness, Sister.
Will Ikkou ever marry?
Don't worry. I'm sure there will be someone for Kou-chan one day.
In the last four days, three dead bodies have been found.
The places where the bodies were discovered were...
...as you can see, along the private rail Shinjuku line.
The first victim discovered was Oshii Tadashi, 55 years of age.
He was from Hiroshima, but worked in Tokyo, away from his family.
Huh?
Sorry, I'm late...
That same day, the second victim was discovered at the waste site alongside the railway,
housewife Hayashida Masako, 45 years of age.
Finally, the third victim was discovered this morning in a thicket, female high school student, Moriyama Nagisa, 16 years of age.
In all cases, the murderer killed the victims by a near horizontal slash across the neck with a blade of some sort.
Here you go.
The bodies were dumped close to where they were killed.
Aoki, what do you think of when you hear private rail Shinjuku line?
Ah, yes... The stabbing murder of a pharmacist that occurred a week ago...
That's right, pharmacist Satonaka Kyouko.
The stabbing murder case that took place on the 3rd of December,
in the middle of the morning rush hour, on the private rail Shinjuku line departing from Tanashi to Shinjuku at 7:45 AM.
Even though the victim was stabbed to death, no eye witnesses have come forth.
In another words, both the witnesses and the killer were lost among the rush hour at Takada no Baba.
There were security cameras at the station platforms, but because of the huge crowd, it was impossible to identify the killer.
So you're saying these cases are related to that case?
I think there may be a clue hidden in that case.
What about the brain of the deceased victim, Satonaka Kyouko?
Section One of Criminal Investigation have the body. They probably don't think this type of case should be brought to us.
Hello, this is Section Nine.
Yes...
What?! Ah... Y-Yes!
Director, the body of another female high school student has been discovered.
The body was discovered at Nagano ward, Numabukuro, first block.
That's along the Shinjuku line!
She seems to be a classmate of Moriyama Nagisa, the girl who was found dead last night.
There's no mistake. It's a serial killer.
I'll request to see the brain as soon as possible.
In addition to finding out the link between the three-No, four murdered victims and the pharmacist,
find out if the four victims were on the train departing Tanashi at 7:45 AM.
What are you all waiting for?
Are you planning to sit there until a fifth victim is discovered?
No, Sir!
The observer is Kishitani Rikako, the fourth victim.
Victim
Name: Kishitani Rikako
Female 16 years old
Place discovered: Nakano ward, Numabukuro, first block
Additional notes: Along the Shinjuku railway.
A high school student attending a school within the metropolis. Commuted in by train.
The image from the observer is coming out now.
This is the killer?
The scene of the murder was close to where the body was found.
Huh?
What was he looking at?
That was the last cut.
Could you please show me what happened just before this?
Of course.
Huh? She's looking at her... nails?
They're blackened.
It doesn't seem like it's nail varnish.
Could you go to the morning of the 3rd of December?
Back to when she was commuting on a train during rush hour.
The 3rd of December, this is the commuting train Kishitani Rikako was on that day.
She was indeed on the same train as the pharmacist who was murdered.
How do you know this is the same train?
She's only looking outside the train.
Watch carefully.
Huh? Her cellphone...
Seven past eight!
That means...
It was Numabukuro Station just now, so...
This train departed from Tanashi at 7:45 AM!
That's right.
Look.
Just now the train has arrived at Araiyakushi-mae Station.
Moriyama Nagisa boards the train.
I see... but what about the other victims?
Oshii Tadashi was behind Kishitani Rikako, on her left.
Hayashida Masako sat opposite him reading a book.
Can you rewind it back a little please?
Sure thing.
You can find the pharmacist for yourselves.
If something happens, call me.
Can't he do something about his attitude?
Oh, there he is!
He was right. His attention to detail is incredible.
Oshii Tadasi and Hayashida Masako.
Sendou-san, would you be able to show us the images slightly after this?
Yes, Sir.
Huh? She's looking at someone.
Oh, this lady... she's Satonaka Kyouko!
As you suspected, the victims were all on the same train carriage.
The observer's watching Satonaka.
The other passengers were also nervous; they're all watching her.
They're arguing about something.
She's collapsed.
Aoki, lip read it.
"What are you all looking at?"
This man... he was shouting with a lot of anger.
Kishitani Rikako is no longer looking at Satonaka Kyouko.
Come to think of it, nor are any of the other passengers.
No... they couldn't look at her.
I get it! They were concerned about what's happening behind them, but...
...they were too afraid to look in that direction.
Yet they couldn't help looking over...
What? So, now it's this guy?
He's looking at Rikako.
He's a young man.
He's different from the previous guy.
Were all the other victims murdered because they happened to be present at the scene of Satonaka Kyouko's murder?
Print out the images of those two men.
They're important witnesses.
There must be someone who's seen them before somewhere.
Okabe, Soga, look for the rest of the passengers.
Yes, Sir!
Also, I want to see the brain of the pharmacist as soon as possible.
I'll make the request to the Committee.
Aoki, look for more clues in the other victims' brains.
Yes, Sir.
You must be Aoki-san.
Ah, yes.
You must be Dr. Miyoshi from Section One's Research Center.
Whatever business you have with me, make it quick.
My lovers are waiting for me.
Ah... What?
Kishitani Rikako, 30 seconds before her death.
Please take a look at this.
The killer looked at her nails just before he killed her.
What about it?
Well, doesn't it look like the killer's checking her nails?
It's not only her, he also looked at the nails of Oshii Tadashi and Hayashida Masako prior to killing them.
What're you saying?
I was wondering why the killer specifically went after passengers on board that train.
Perhaps they had some characteristics which only the killer recognized...
I thought that maybe those characteristics were the nails.
I was in charge of the autopsy for the four victims,
but as I've repeatedly told you, I did not observe anything out of the ordinary.
Instantaneous onset of rigor mortis due to the extreme stress at the time of death.
Reduced livor mortis due to loss of blood.
There was no discoloration of livor mortis due to poisoning.
No toxins were detected in the liver, blood, or nails.
Oh, Oshii Tadashi was suffering from diabetes. I feel sorry for him.
And just for the record, I found some fibers belonging to someone's clothes. I've passed those to the lab. That's all.
Any other questions?
If not, then I'm off.
But there's got to be something!
You dare to find fault in my observations?!
You've got some guts, haven't you?
Hey... Hey!
Dr. Miyoshi is an indomitable, spirited woman and is also known as "Section One's Laboratory Female Maki."
You better not stand up to her too much.
There's even a rumor that she sleeps with her dead bodies...
I can hear you, you know.
Is it bad to sleep with dead bodies?
Ah... I mean...
Well then, my dead lovers are waiting for me.
But Doctor!
What do you think you're doing?
I've had enough of you!
Tsuyoshi-kun! What on earth is your new recruit thinking?!
He's so rude!
I'm sorry, Yukiko-san.
Yukiko-san? Tsuyoshi-kun?
All of them... they weren't born to die like this...
This father, this mother, this daughter...
How much did their families wish for their happiness?
These girls would've been dreaming about falling in love and happily getting married.
The color of Dr. Miyoshi's nails...
Maki-san, have you been acquainted with Dr. Miyoshi for a long time?
Well, something like that.
She commutes by train, doesn't she?
No, she should be commuting by car.
I see...
Not even one, eh?
Prescription
Accept
Of the passenger witnesses...
I hear Section One's trying too, but...
I hear they're having no luck either...
The passengers who were on board that train on that day seem to have changed the carriage they use.
They don't want to get involved.
A person is dead!
That hurts!
Faking and altering a prescription is an offense!

Kyouko-san was hardworking and kind to everyone.
She spoke really well. Almost like a native.
What? Like a native?
She came from China three years ago due to her father's work.
I've informed the other detectives about this already...
Reception for Prescriptions
Section One was keeping the information to themselves...
Everyone wants to take the credit for success.
In any case, why was Satonaka Kyouko-san stabbed to death?
Either she got into some kind of trouble or it's a grudge.
Midori Pharmacist
Doctor, I'm sorry to keep you waiting...
What?!
Doctor!
Please don't sleep on the dissecting table!
Huh... but Suga-chan, you said that you'd back in five minutes, instead, you took ages...
In addition, you're sleeping next to a naked body...
At this rate, you're going to end up looking like a dead body too!
That sounds like an idea...
Suga-chan, I'm leaving the rest to you.
Sure! Take care. See you!
Perhaps they had some characteristics which only the killer recognized...
Suga-chan?
Doctor!
He's the one! The serial killer! Contact everyone immediately, Suga-chan!
The killer is estimated to be around 24-25 years old, wears a suit. He's not a laborer...
If I have to say he's... What?
Well, let's say...
...he looks as if he works for Section Nine.
Hey, you...
What were you thinking?
It's only because of Tsuyoshi-kun's sake that I haven't contacted the authorities yet.
I came here to ask you a favor.
Please let me see your fingers, Doctor.
You're still talking about that?
As I suspected...
The same nail color.
The same condition.
Doctor, are you positive you weren't on the same carriage as the pharmacist when she got murdered?
Yes.
Besides, there was no discoloration of the nails of the dead bodies.
Isn't there a possibility that the symptoms disappear when you die?
Maybe you've contracted something.
Please run a test on your own blood, Doctor!
Will you stop ordering me around?
Excuse me, Sir, but you were due to check out a while ago...
May I take a look inside?
Please, Doctor!
Do the examination as soon as possible!
Excuse me.
Aoki speaking.
Maki-san...
A dead male body was found in a capsule hotel at Ookubo.
It's not clear on the image sent to me, but...
His age and looks are very similar to the man with a moustache who was intimidating the passengers on the train.
The medics believe that he died from an infectious disease.
Infectious disease...
I want you to immediately go there and confirm it.
I will inform Dr. Miyoshi personally.
Dr. Miyoshi is... with me right now.
I see...
Thanks, I'll leave it in your hands.
