Who are you working with?!
Your homeland sold you out.
There's no longer any need to keep your allegiance.
Make this easy on yourself. Tell us everything you know.
You damned...
Monster!
Is he really a spy?
Without a doubt.
Where... Where is he?!
As the embers of world war smoldered
in autumn of 1937,
the Imperial Army
Greater East Asia Cultural Society
established a clandestine spy training agency.
Greater East Asia Cultural Society
The histories, names, and even ages
of the elite men who pass its rigorous application process
are all treated as top-secret information.
They easily complete training exercises that push them
to their physical and mental limits.
Under the command of founder Lieutenant Colonel Yuuki,
they operate worldwide, within the shadows.
And so a brand-new intelligence agency was created.
Its name is "D-Agency."
Episode 11 - Coffin
I'm here.
Colonel Wolff.
Your report,
Lieutenant Bauer.
This program is a work of fiction. The characters, organizations, locations, laws, names, etc. being portrayed are unrelated to actual events.
It's been determined that the train crashed
because a signal light failed due to faulty power lines.
There is no chance it was terrorism.
These men were likely nothing more than onlookers.
Inspect number three again. Thoroughly.
But there's no chance...
Pay particular attention to the matches he was carrying.
We found quinine on the matchbook in your wallet.
If you wrote a message with these and applied the right chemicals,
the words would become visible.
I-I know nothing of that...
Those matches...
I just picked them up.
Where?!
N-Near the site of the crash.
Despite the fact you don't smoke?
We didn't see a pipe or cigarettes in your belongings.
No tobacco resin under your fingernails, either.
This is too nice a wallet to be yours.
Who did you steal it from?
I swear it wasn't from one of our own.
It was an Asian man!
And besides, he was already dead.
What was his name?
He must've had a card in his wallet.
I threw it away...
I believe it started
with an "M."
Uh... Ma, Maku...
Maki...
Yes, that's it!
That was the name!
Katsuhiko Maki. Japanese.
This must be him.
Dead
Let's go.
Colonel.
What should we do with him?
If nothing else, the blood of our countrymen has been spilled,
and our great and glorious nation cannot be held responsible.
We need a scapegoat.
Turn him over to the Gestapo.
Search Maki's house,
but don't let the locals see what it is you're up to.
Cordon off the surrounding area
and arrest anyone who seems suspicious.
I'm going to need a lot of men for all that.
That's fine.
Investigate Katsuhiko Maki's work history,
and confirm that he's truly dead with your own eyes.
Sir.
Anything?
Nothing we've found suggests he was a spy.
Continuing to search would likely be a waste of time.
Colonel Wolff has caught over a hundred spies in his career.
But this time...
Keep looking!
Colonel.
Sorry for the delay.
Maki Katsuhiko, 28,
single, no roommates.
He was an art dealer.
He registered about a year ago.
He's from an affluent Japanese family
and came to Europe to study art.
After school, his interest in the field grew,
and he started his own art business.
The cause of death was shock
and blood loss after being pierced by
a steel beam broken off the train.
He probably looks so calm because he died instantly.
And you're certain that's Maki?
I showed the picture to his neighbors and had them confirm.
They say it's definitely Maki.
Still...
What?
I was surprised to see that he was such a handsome fellow.
And one person said, "He looks more alive in death."
Friends and relatives of the accident victims
have been visiting the hospital,
but no one's come to see Maki.
If I may, sir.
We examined all his belongings,
but couldn't find anything suspicious at all.
Perhaps it's more likely this Maki
really was just a simple art dealer, after all?
Katsuhiko Maki is a Japanese spy.
There's no room for doubt.
But...
It's aspirin.
We found some in his belongings, as well.
He probably left them on the floor on purpose.
A trap to check if anyone had been
inside his house while he was away.
Another trap of the same nature.
But I've heard that behind the scenes,
we've formed a three-way alliance with Japan and Italy.
Why on earth would a spy from Japan,
a nation friendly to us, be sneaking into our country?
Japan? Friendly?
Twenty-two years ago, Japan was our enemy.
The hunt's not over.
Hunt?
I'll get him this time...
That's a Japanese coded message
we intercepted from a radio transmission.
So the movements of our subs in the Mediterranean
have been leaked to Japan?
The codename of the spymaster in charge of the informants is
"The Magician."
We should assume the leak is coming
from the highest ranks of the government.
It's imperative we learn their true identities ASAP.
No need.
Sir?
The Magician has already fallen into our hands.
I'm impressed.
You've been stealing Germany's classified information
for over six months.
What are you talking about?
I'm not a spy...
This is all a mistake.
Our information was leaked
from the Japanese Imperial Army's General Staff Headquarters.
In other words,
your country sold you out.
In fact, your real name is...
Where... Where is he?!
That was the last we heard of him.
It'd be impossible for a man that heavily injured
to hide in a foreign country for such a long time, though.
Right after he escaped,
the sailors at Kiel revolted.
That triggered the revolution that swept across the country
and ended in Germany's surrender to the Allies.
You're saying it was all predetermined?
I can't imagine any living man capable of such a thing.
A few years ago, the Imperial Army
established a new intelligence agency.
D-Agency.
Supposedly, it was founded by a lieutenant colonel named Yuuki,
but no matter where we look, the truth evades us.
Yuuki is that man.
He returned home, even after his country disavowed him.
I've never heard of such an organization in Japan's army...
Colonel.
Maki was probably a spymaster, manipulating his accomplices.
He lived in our country under the guise of an art dealer,
contacting his informants.
He'd gather information, analyze it,
and report back home.
If word gets out that Maki is dead,
his accomplices will start to panic,
and his spy network in Germany will break down.
The only person who can prevent that
is him... the one giving Maki his orders.
A spymaster never reveals the names of his sources, even to allies.
Maki's got a list of his accomplices hidden somewhere.
And that man...
is going to come for it!
As you ordered,
we concealed the news of Maki's death,
placed a notice in the newspaper about an unidentified body,
and had him placed in the Berlin Hospital.
Maki's home is under surveillance,
and we're continuing to search it.
The room in Berlin Hospital where he's being kept
is under 24/7 surveillance.
We've also informed the Ministry of Aviation
so that we'll get a report right away
if anyone calls the hospital to inquire.
Did you find anything in Maki's house?
No, nothing.
We've investigated all his usual hangouts as well,
but they've turned up nothing.
Strange...
We're overlooking something.
Colonel.
Colonel, you're losing your composure.
What was that?
There is absolutely no evidence to suggest
that this "Yuuki" you keep bringing up is the man
who slipped away from you 22 years ago.
Furthermore, besides the matches
the thief claims to have stolen,
there's no evidence that Maki was a spy, either.
I don't believe anyone who was actively spying
could have covered his tracks to this degree.
I think you're chasing a phantom, Colonel.
You don't believe me, huh? But I know.
I've seen the monster with my own eyes.
This guy has the same scent
as that man from 22 years ago.
Maki's death is just a coincidence.
Faced with such an unpredictable death,
a spy couldn't possibly look so calm...
Which train was Maki on?!
Huh?
The one headed to Krün,
or the one returning to Berlin?!
It was the train bound for Berlin.
What is it, sir?
Maki made sure
his list wouldn't fall into enemy hands.
In other words, on that day, he was
on his way back after reporting everything he'd learned.
Then,
the person who Maki gave all his information to...
Has anyone come to visit our man?
No one.
Wh-What the...
Nothing seems out of the ordinary.
Where the hell are you looking?
Don't lie to me.
I swear, it's true!
No one except us has been in there
since they moved him here.
Since they moved him?
Yesterday, when I came here
to retrieve Maki's photograph,
I had him moved to this room so it'd be easier to watch him.
What room was he in before?
It was... 202.
You.
Y-Yes?
After the accident yesterday, was the only body in room 202
the man that's now in room 305?
No, he shared that room with an elderly man
who also died in the accident.
Did anyone come to claim the body of the old man?
No one. Apparently he had no relatives...
A little before this man here arrived,
another gentleman came by to identify the body.
What?
A hat covered most of his face,
so I couldn't get a good look at him,
but I think he might have been a foreigner.
Hey!
Where's the man named Maki being kept?
The Oriental who died in the train crash.
Who are you...
Oh, was it him?
Many pardons. I had the wrong person.
He had a cane,
and walked with a limp.
Oh, and he wore a white glove on one hand.
When that man
learned that Maki's train had crashed,
he must've hopped in a car and rushed directly to Berlin.
Maki had the list of his accomplices, the most important thing
in the world to a spymaster, on him at all times.
The microfilm with a copy of the list
was sewn into the collar of his shirt.
After that man left the hospital,
he must've gone around contacting everyone on the list,
erasing any traces of evidence.
To be a spy
is to live alone in a foreign land,
sending information back to your homeland
without ever letting anyone know who you really are.
For a spy,
death is the end of everything.
But even though this man called Maki will be buried
without anyone ever knowing his true identity,
one could also say he fulfilled his duty as a spy.
The information he left behind
will live on.

I hear you broke up with your woman again.
Yeah.
No point in staying with one for too long.
"We are all beautiful in passing," huh?
