cover your future all the time
This is my prayer
for you to start from zero again
Even if we are losing
because of our unparallel thoughts
But the feeling
is what stays long forever
What should we do to get to the finishing line
and yet hold victory
The moon shines over my scarred soul
Just because of you I want to
cover your future all the time
This is my prayer
for you to start from zero again
With you I will never give up
even for the slightest hope
On the true path of the most concrete present
to replace all fantasies
Yes, correct.
Just do as I instructed.
All your wishes may come true.
I won't get involve directly, though.
I merely help you in planning.
This is my principle.
Good luck to you then.
Finally the time is here.
The horror drama which is confusing will begin.
Reika, Reika...
{Reika's Kidnapping} - File#1
Reika...
Reika, sign for me.
Reika.
Ah!
Reika.
Reika... sign for me...
Wait, Reika-san.
Sorry, really sorry.
Reika Hayami...
has gone home.
I'm very sorry.
Are you joking!
Fumi. Oh~
Ouch.
You are a boy, bear it.
I'm very sorry, I hire you but in the end become my substitute.
Yasuoga-san, isn't there better task?
About this...
It's Ok. Don't bear in mind.
That guy will be Ok.
Hey, why are you still here?
Hajime-chan, no one talks so with new member.
Right, I am a fan of Reika-san.
But I never know that Hajime-onichan is her friend.
Hajime? Don't tell me you are Kindaichi.
Huh? Err... yes.
Kindaichi.
Reika-chan often talks about you. I'm almost fed up.
No way, Narumi-san, you...
Nothing, really? Does Reika-san often talks about me?
Do you need to be so happy?
OUCHH~
Idiot.
Ready, start.
Why are you still here now? Leave this house at once.
Do you hear me?
I don't want to leave.
What a stubborn. I order you to get out.
Reika indeed is pretty in whatever outfit.
Now is the turn for the maid of mole.
Princess! Princess! Awful, princess.
Eh? Miyuki?
She is suddenly asks to act as temporary actress.
Yasuoga-san, this girl is quite good.
Yup, director. You want me nurture her?
Miyuki, since when you become so pretty.
Oh, my goodness.
Cut! Cut...
Oh my. My kimono is wet all over.
Oh~ Reika's leg.
Ah!
You better be decent! You don't have to rival with an outsider.
Do you realize your selfishness has bring a lot of problems to the crews?
What, who are you to slap me?
How dare you answer me. I guess it's because of your selfishness...
Don't be so angry, Mitamura-san.
Don't you think it's a merit of our Reika too?
Director.
Director? Who is the old woman?
She is Kafuraki Youko, director of the company which Reika joins.
Such a awesome dignity.
Kafuraki-san, don't you feel you over-pampered this girl?
Oh, do I?
You who said so is just alike that once upon a time.
Awful. The shooting will end here today.
Let's continue tomorrow.
Shall we?
Hayaki-san, if you keep on being so selfish,
one day you'll be disowned by the entertainment field.
So horrible.
So much different from on tv.
God damn old woman.
Mitamura-san is so stern.
Reika-san, this flower is from fans.
Wow, the roses are so pretty!
Director.
I need to discuss some matters with you later.
Oh, by the way, Reika.
Tomorrow at 2pm you need to meet up with lawyer,
Ok? - Yes.
So see you tomorrow.
Take care.
Reika-chan, what is the matter all about?
Isn't that I lost my whole family during the Taro Villa incident?
So Director Kafuraki wants me to become her adopted daughter.
That's it.
Eh?
She wants to become Reika-san's mother?
Director never marries or has any children.
Reika-chan, do you think it's good?
I never have a mother since born, so I'm really excited.
I'm also eager to live with Director. Once think of it, I feel so happy.
Really?
Reika-san, go and try out tomorrow's costume.
The stylist at the front has been waiting impatiently.
Yes.
I never thought that Director Kafuraki who looks so scary
can be such a nice person. - What will happen then?
Sakai-san.
Frankly, until now I much objected to this.
Why? Reika-chan is so happy now.
She has only joins this management company for a short while,
so she still doesn't know.
She doesn't know... what?
But, if she agrees to be adopted by her
for the sake of Director Kafuraki's 10 billions
yen wealth, she's digging a hole for herself.
What are you saying? Reika-chan is not such person.
Are you angry?
Count in lucky if nothing strange happens.
Strange things? What do you mean?
I have a bad intuition...
You guys think too much.
Don't think so much. Let's get sign from Reika-san.
Reika-san, thank you.
Thanks a lot for signing and giving us a ride.
It's Ok, I feel very happy to be with you all, Kindaichi-kun.
I should be saying thank you instead.
Here, today's reward. - Thanks.
See you then, keep in touch.
What's up, Hajime-chan?
Oh, nothing... really, nothing.
Goodbye and good night, Yasuoga-san.
Good night, Reika-san.
Who are you?
Eh?
What's wrong?
Yasuoga-san!
Reika-chan, run! Hurry up.
Hurry, quickly open.
What has happened? Anyway, I must calm down.
First get into the house, call the police and ambulance, then...
You are awake, Reika-chan. Are you alright?
Yasuoga-san.
Here is...
Why? Why are we here?
Both of you have been kidnapped... by me.
Kidnap?
Who... who are you?
Call me "Puppet Clown".
Puppet Clown?
Nice shot.
Once your director sees this photo, sure she'll give me money.
Don't ever think to escape.
If not...
I'll kill you both.
Moustache... roots!
I hate such a dirty thing.
Let me tell you.
You must shave it cleanly everyday, understand?
Yes... yes, got it. But with my condition now, no way...
I'll break you free later.
Before this, both of you stay good at here.
Both stay at here? What a troublesome.
Why?
For idol likes her, image is her life.
Even if she is kidnapped and locked with a man in a room,
her naive image will ruin once media reports it.
No way this will happen.
Yasuoga-san.
Even at this moment you are worry of artist's image.
You are an ideal manager.
I'll do as you say and lock her in another room.
Please don't be rough.
Ok, come.
So scared, what will happen to me? Help, Kindaichi-kun.
What?
Reika-chan has been kidnapped?
This morning, we found a letter from someone called "Puppet Clown"
in our company's mailbox.
"Puppet Clown"?
In his letter, he demands one billion yen
for Reika-san and her manager, Yasuoga-san.
One billion?
A photo is also attached together with the letter.
This is... Reika-chan and Yasuoga-san.
What's up, Hajime-chan?
A clown.
Look carefully.
On the glass on window.
So horrible.
So, it's the guy, Kindaichi-kun.
I guess so, he's the one who kidnaps Reika-chan.
Puppet Clown.
Have you told the police?
This...
The letter said that if we report to the police,
he'll kill both of them.
Then, how can we get in touch with the culprit?
Please read this.
This is...
Specify me to hand up the ransom?
Why must Hajime-chan.
Anyway, we count on you.
Yasuoga is my husband, Kindaichi-san.
Please save him no matter what costs.
Manami-san.
I also count on you. Yasuyuki is my nephew,
my only family. And Reika who is a valuable asset to our company.
Kindaichi-san, please think of way to save them.
I can only trust you now, Kindaichi-san. - Please.
Got it. Reika-chan is my best friend, too.
As long as I'm able, I'll do my best.
I'm going too. - What?
It's too Ionely for Hajime-onichan to go alone.
I must follow you.
Hey hey hey, I'm not having fun here.
Kindaichi-san. - Eh?
The ransom has been ready.
A lot.
Give the ransom money to Kindaichi-san.
Yes.
What are you doing?
- Hajime-chan.
What's wrong with you? Gather up the money.
Oh my, you really sucks.
You can't be harsh to money.
This is... - Newspaper?
How come?
Only the first piece is real note. The rest is all newspapers.
What's up?
There are black fingerprints on the seal of notes.
That's why I suspect
the ink must has stained all over the hands while cutting newspapers.
So the fingerprints must have been printed on while bundling notes.
Director, what are you having in mind?
You'll get Reika-chan and Yasuoga-san
killed if you give these to the kidnapper.
But... isn't that a big waste?
Director, I...
I beg you, please save them.
No way.
Even for the gold goose of mine, Reika,
I still can't pay out such a large sum of one billion.
What are you talking about? She'll probably be killed now.
Don't you say that you want to adopt Reika-chan?
Adopt? They are both different matters.
Stop jokin'! You old woman! - Wait.
I heard that the recording has been postponed because the kid falls sick.
So I come here to mock her.
Mitamura-san.
Fine then. I'll pay the one billion ransoms.
But... is it Ok? What a big sum of one billion.
Of course, so long after they return safely,
they have to work hard to pay me back.
If they die, they'll still have compensation from life insurance.
Very... very thank you to you.
Thank you very much.
You are merely her colleague, though. Why
would you willing to take out so much money?
If this incident is being rumoured and published,
I'll get a few advertisement jobs worth fifty millions.
In that case, no one will dare to critic me again.
Such a calculative person.
Courier service.
Who are you all?
Lower your voice! We are this type of people.
We just received a report about this kidnapping case.
Uncle... Kenmochi!
Kindaichi! Why are you here?
Who? Who is the one calling police?
I. - Why do you do so?
If the kidnapper knows, he'll kill both of them.
I know, that's why I ask them to disguise as courier company's staffs.
But, Director Kafuraki...
Inspector, the recording system setup is completed.
Once the phone is answered, recording will start immediately.
Good, don't worry.
I definitely won't let kidnapper knows that police has involves in this case.
If so, is it really Ok?
Hello.
Puppet Clown?
Yes, the ransom money is ready. Yes.
Ok.
He wants to talk with you.
Hello?
Hi, sorry to trouble you.
You are Kindaichi huh.
Are Reika-chan and Yasuoga-san alright?
Nothing else I can do if you don't believe me.
Now, I'll tell you the location and method to hand ransom money.
Tomorrow at 7 am, 19th of May,
go and wait for me at phone booth at Nakahara Station.
At that time, bring along a bundle of roses as signal.
Roses? - Yes.
Must be the dark red roses.
Everything proceeds as planned.
But, I never expect there is intruder.
What's up, why is the real show encounters problems?
Never mind, so long do as I say.
Let us enjoy the problems together.
Ok, got it.
Even if the kidnapper gets the ransom, he'll not set us free too.
If I don't escape by tonight, I think...
What are you doing?
Didn't I say before, if you try to escape I'll kill you.
I'm giving you last warning.
Tomorrow at 7 am, 19th of May,
go and wait for me at phone booth at Nakahara Station.
Kindaichi, don't make any mistake.
7 minutes more before 7 am.
Hajime-chan.
Try your best.
Do not panic, calm down. If I make mistake, Reika-chan will...
Reika-chan will be killed.
For sure...
I can't let this happens for sure.
I must save Reika-chan.
Hajime-chan.
Hello?
Kindaichi, right? - Puppet Clown? Where are you?
Before that, I want you to guess a riddle.
Guess a riddle?
The next word for "close" is "people".
Then what is it between "middle" and "small"?
Don't tell me you are making joke at this moment.
Just how can I pass you the ransom money. Tell me quickly.
I'm not making joke.
It is a method whereby you can know my location once you solve the riddle.
What?
I won't tell you so easily.
How fussy will it be if the public phone has been wired?
See you at the place behind the riddle five minutes later.
The next word for "close" is "people".
Then what is it between "middle" and "small"?
What exactly is the meaning?
The Puppet Clown keeps changing the meeting location, as if mocking us.
Your motive is ransom money, which I already have in hand.
But why would you mess it by the continuous changing of location?
Kindaichi, think carefully. Think of a way to find the decided location.
Reika-chan, wait for me.
I will sure save you, even in the name of grandpa.
