In recent years, the number of vicious crimes has increased rapidly.
In order to arrest the criminals and solve the cases, the police 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.
Over the years, many people have enjoyed Romantic Land. However, due to a decline in visitors, the park will be shut down after today.
Today, the park is crowded with people. Perhaps these visitors regret the park's closure.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Hey, there's a piece of clothing I want.
You'll buy it for me, right?
Sure...
Count Down
...I'm fine now...
Michiru!
I know it's your day off, but it's about time you wake up!
[Note: Sign says "Shooting Range." ]
Sorry to keep you waiting.
No problem.
I've just arrived myself.
[Note: Entrance sign says "Romantic Land."]
This is an announcement: A lost three-year-old child wearing a shirt with a panda design has been found...
[Note: Sign says "Warring States Labyrinth."]
To think that this park is closing down despite all these visitors...
Apparently the rides are getting too old to be usable.
Still, the number of visitors has increased ever since the announcement of the park's closure.
Well, the staff must be in a bind.
Everyone's trying to relive their memories of this park.
Hey, be careful!
It's fine!
Watch out! Are you okay?
I am!
Come on! Stop it!
Look here, Aoki-san!
Y-Yes?
Never mind!
Sorry to keep you waiting!
What? Did something happen between you two?
N-Nothing!
Let's go on a ride.
Which one should we try?
Oh, how about the Haunted House?
Hey, what about the Warring States Labyrinth?!
Aoki-san, they've got fleeing samurai in that one!
Right! Maintenance complete.
All I need now is a brain for a test run.
Here's the brain for the test run.
Set it up.
Oh?
It's said to be modeled on a steam locomotive... it sure looks old-fashioned.
It looks dangerous.
Some people like it because it looks dangerous. It makes the ride more scary.
The image will appear soon.
The MRI is going well. Excellent.
By the way, after the MRI was destroyed, who performed the repairs?
A guy called John Considine and me. Why?
Where is he now?
His current whereabouts?
No idea.
Inform me when you find out.
Percentage of activity is at 120%. The image is coming out.
Oh man, this guy completely snapped.
What's going on?
This is the brain of a student who repeatedly stabbed his teacher to death last week, Takahashi Shuuichi.
According to the headmaster, he was somewhat shy but otherwise ordinary student.
Even so, there's got to be a motive somewhere...
T-That's terrible! He's bleeding profusely.
This is unbearable to watch.
Be serious and look for a motive.
What? I have to do that too?
Yes.
Without Maki-san?
That's right.
Oh?
When he was shot dead, he fell and suffered some brain damage.
So there are parts we can't see, eh?
It seems the boy had a fake gun.
What? Special Forces didn't even check before they shot the kid dead?
[Note: Sign says "Locomotion Coaster."]
Men are so delicate.
I wonder what he's making...
A bomb?!
If I recall correctly, there have been cases in the US where the student sets a bomb in the school before going on a shooting spree.
So this guy planted a bomb somewhere?
Find the location of the bomb.
I don't need to be told that. I work fast.
What?
A theme park somewhere...
Enlarge the image of the entrance sign.
[Note: Sign says "Romantic Land." ]
Romantic Land...
Maki speaking.
A bomb?
I understand. I'm on my way.
Wait a second!
Oh? They're having a lover's quarrel in here of all places?
Hold on!
Was one of them cheating?
Please!
Honestly...
You better be prepared!
Huh? What are they discussing over there in secret?
Please don't do anything suspicious...
Darling... Darling!
What is it? Stop looking so scary.
Stop acting like a detective.
I'm sorry.
So, what would you like to do?
Should we go watch a movie, just like the old days?
Okabe speaking.
Yes, sir.
I'm sorry...
A bomb?!
In which theme park?
Romantic Land.
Romantic Land?!
Park Office Reception: 1st floor
What?! A bomb?!
We're from the police. The Bomb Squad is on its way.
As soon as we locate the whereabouts of the bomb, they'll disarm it.
Please evacuate the visitors without causing panic.
I understand.
Come on, Director Maki, please!
Director Maki!
So, Aoki and the rest are at Romantic Land?
Yes, by sheer coincidence.
Amazing!
This is the grand monitor of the MRI!
It's incredible!
Maki-kun, who the hell is he?
I don't know.
He just followed me.
Followed you?!
Don't be ridiculous!
Oh, I've heard so much about you, Senior Superintendent Nagamine.
I am Koike, from the Main Office Security Department!
Please let me join Section Nine!
What's the situation, Onogida?
Where did that come from?!
Well, I'm searching for the moment when he planted the bomb, but...
What is the Human Resource Department playing at?!
Please! I'll do anything!
Sorry, I'm late.
No, I should apologize. I called you in on your day off.
Don't worry about it.
Michiru-chan, change about 30 of the connection points.
Yes, sir.
Please, Senior Superintendent!
Stop pestering me!
Go back to your own department!
This is an announcement to all visitors.
In order to search for a dangerous object, we request that all visitors evacuate the park immediately.
I repeat, in order to search for a dangerous object, we request that all visitors evacuate the park immediately.
Please remain calm and follow the instructions given by the staff.
Everybody, please calm down!
Please evacuate calmly!
This way please!
We apologize for any inconvenience, but please...
Please evacuate calmly!
Shouldn't we look for the bomb?
Just the three of us?
In any case, we're complete amateurs.
That's true, but...
Oh, so here are the other rooms!
Hey, hey, don't open the doors without permission!
Where, oh, where is it?
We've reached the maximum number of connections.
I see.
I hope Aoki hasn't suggested something stupid like searching for the bomb.
Oh, there it is!
Here it comes!
Can you show it on the main screen?
Sure.
Michiru-chan, what does the meter say?
Percent active is 120%.
Everything's normal.
Dearie me, it's still fuzzy.
Sharpen the image.
Due to the damage done to the brain, it'll take time.
Rewind it slowly.
Is this some kind of doll?
Stop.
Zoom in.
Takahashi set the timer at 10:00.
Onogida, what day was that?
Friday evening.
45 hours after 10 PM on Friday is...
7 PM today.
We've got less than two hours.
Contact Aoki and the rest.
Yes, sir.
Onogida, find the location of the bomb.
Got it.
Oh, hi. Aoki-san, this is an emergency call.
Yes, the evacuation is proceeding smoothly.
Yes...
In about half an hour or so.
Sendou-san, shouldn't we be looking for the bomb too?
The Director will scold you if you do that!
Once the evacuation is complete, you should evacuate too, okay?
We've got trouble!
The Locomotion Coaster got stopped halfway, and the passengers are stuck on the ride.
What?!
Apparently, one of the staff pressed the emergency switch.
Hey, what do you mean by a "dangerous object"?
They haven't given us a clear explanation, have they, Masae?
That's because...
Don't think you can get away with just giving us our money back!
Are you listening to me?!
I agree completely.
Come now, let's talk about this over there.
Come along, hurry up. Let's get moving.
Hey, that hurts! You're hurting my arm!
Director, how's the evacuation going at the roller coaster?
One of your people is helping us, but it's going to take a little longer...
Have you found the bomb yet?
Not yet, but...
Half an hour left... Director, please find it quickly!
Maki-san...
A patch of brain cells seems to respond strongly each time we search for the location of the bomb.
Right.
There, this part.
These...
And these as well.
His memory keeps responding to these images.
That must be it.
Director, the boy must've liked this girl.
Hey, even if you're right, what's that got to do with the bomb?
Who cares?
Find the location of the bomb; that's what's important.
What?
She was at the murder scene.
What?
They've been to Romantic Land.
Takahashi Shuuichi worked part time at that theme park, didn't he?
Aoki, all the visitors have been evacuated from the roller coaster. You should get down too!
We're evacuating!
Got it! All clear!
I've sharpened the images, but it'll only last a few seconds.
Show it to us.
Yes, sir.
It's definitely a doll.
Rewind it.
Yes, sir.
There.
Looks like he hid it in a doll on that roller coaster.
Contact Aoki immediately. Don't let anyone go near that roller coaster.
Yes, sir.
Also, inform the Bomb Squad.
Oh, I'll do it!
Hello?
What?
Inside a doll on the Locomotion Coaster?!
What, Aoki-san is there?!
What's wrong?
He's right by the roller coaster!
What?!
And the Bomb Squad?
They said there's not enough time to disarm it, so they're evacuating as well!
Tell Aoki to run!
Yes, sir!
Aoki.
Okabe-san, everyone...
Right, let's evacuate to the entrance too.
Excuse me, my daughter went back saying she left something by the coaster's boarding area.
What?
Aoki!
Aoki-san!
Amachi, Soga, take the mother and evacuate!
Is there something over there?
Don't worry, Madam.
Those two will bring your daughter back.
My teddy bear.
Aoki...
It's gonna explode!
Wow! Fireworks!
These are the sharpened images from Takahashi Shuuichi's brain.
This is in the classroom.
What? A teacher?! How could he?!
Takahashi Shuuichi tried to protect his girlfriend from the teacher.
No, you're wrong.
She was in a relationship with that teacher.
Then, the boy died without learning the truth?
This is terrible...
So, the motive was his one-sided love.
I wonder if they'll be convinced with that...
What do you mean?
I wonder how much credit you'll get for this case.
But why did Takahashi Shuuichi set a timer on those fireworks?
We've also found these images.
Maybe it was a gift to the girl he loved.
We'll never know now.
I wonder if she saw the fireworks...
Hey!
What is it?
There's a watch that I want. Please?
Today, there was a bomb scare at a theme park. It appears that someone placed timer-based fireworks on the roller coaster.
Let's go.
Sure.
Damn. I so want to get into Section Nine.
Shitte ita no nani mo kamo
知っていたの 何もかも
I knew about it, everything.
Matte ita no ima mo nao
待っていたの 今もなお
I was waiting for you, even now.
Ittai doko made yukeba ii no ka
一体どこまで行けばいいのか
How far do I have to go?
Mabuta no ura no kioku sae
まぶたの裏の記憶さえ
Even the memories of you are branded into the back of my eyelids;
Kono katamari wo nurasu
このカタマリを濡らす
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
行きたい 行けない 行きたい 行けない
I can't leave yet I want to leave, because I can't leave.
Atashi wa yowai yowai yowai
アタシは 弱い 弱い 弱い
I am weak, I am frail, and I am fragile.
Atashi no namida wo anata wa...
アタシの涙を貴方は...
My tears with you will...
Part One
