Blood. Her blood.
What terrible weather.
I don't feel like working today. Though excuses won't work, I guess.
You're not acting like a veteran.
What?!
Now, now.
Anyway, I wish I could take time off.
It seems that prostitute last night was the sixth.
Good grief. He's only going after young women. What a waste.
It must be a serial killer.
Of course it is.
They were all stabbed and sliced to pieces.
Their hearts were removed.
We don't have a murder weapon.
Forensics think it must be extremely sharp.
He must have been acting alone.
Will he strike again tonight?
Probably.
There has been an incident in a back alley in Ward 4.
All units in the area, please investigate immediately.
Hey!
Hey. Stay with me.
Inspector! Call an ambulance! Now!
He's already called one.
You must be in pain. Let me help.
It's a dead end.
What color's your underwear?
Geez.
Could you tell me your measurements?
I'm with the police.
Could you give me your name and phone number?
Can't you take things more seriously, Inspector?
Think about this carefully, Rikudo Rin.
The killer only targets young women.
We should look for suspicious men near potential victims.
I-I see your point, but detectives should-
Sorry.
J-Joker?
Rin! I've been looking for you. I heard you're a detective now.
H-Hey.
Sorry. I need to borrow him.
H-Hey, Rin!
Tell me, are you into guys?
Come on, Rin.
Inspector! Listen to me! I don't swing that way!
Got that, Inspector?!
Don't get the wrong idea!
It's not what it looks like!
I always thought he was weird.
He's got a broad range.
What's wrong, Rin?
Is there something strange about me?
Of course not.
You look beautiful.
Really, I'm glad you're a woman again.
You're always so cold when I'm a man.
Th-That's not what I meant.
I just don't want others to see us like that.
Um, I've... never been on a date before.
Would you like to go on a date with me?
Am I bothering you?
Of course not!
Now, let's go!
What's wrong, Joker?
Rin, may I... hold your arm?
Of course.
Thanks!

You're such a whimsical kitten

You wore a red dress

You were like a magical cat

You change from day to day

I really do love you
kimi wa kawaii magical cat sa
You're such a cute magical cat
Rin, I...
Do you have work?
I'm sorry. I have to go.
I enjoyed myself tonight.
Thank you.
Joker! May I see you again?!
Probably.
Uh-oh. I left the inspector hanging!
I've been looking for you.
Please tell me where Dr. Bayfarm is.
I don't know.
I have orders from Special Investigations to kill you.
Joker!
I've come to play.
May I stay the night?
To play?
Why'd you come in through the window?
J-Joker!
Y-You're bleeding!
We need a doctor! An ambulance!
Wait.
I'm fine.
I just need some rest.
But...
I don't want anyone else to know.
O-Okay.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
We Special Agents heal quickly.
But these wounds are terrible.
Well, I got careless.
Who could hurt a Special Agent?
That's classified.
Dr. Bayfarm.
Why?
I seek perfection.
I want all androids to be perfect humans.
That's why I'm experimenting on you.
Doctor!
Bayfarm!
I love you, Rin.
I'm borrowing some clothes
Joker...
Hey!
Hey, you!
Stay with me!
Dr. Bayfarm!
U-Um...
H-Hey, you!
Stay with me. I'm a cop.
You'll be fine.
Bayfarm...
I'll get you something warm to drink.
That's not a man.
Or a woman.
Is... Is that an android?
Is that the killer?
Yes. That's right.
Please come here without attracting attention.
All right.
Thank you.
Thanks for waiting.
No luck. There's no data on the android.
Of course not.
I've never heard of an androgynous android.
Do you think it's the killer?
I'm not sure.
But it's no ordinary human.
You went out with that weird guy the other day.
You've got strange tastes.
That's not why I...
Of course!
Dr. Bayfarm!
Who's that?
His data's been erased.
Dr. Bayfarm... Who is he, really?
I'm very tired.
I wanted to be a god and create the perfect human.
But all I created were dolls.
Yes. You are perfect in every way,
but you have no heart.
I couldn't discover a way to create one for an android.
Well, at least Heiki Industries, my investor, is satisfied.
Even so, I ended up creating a monster.
Dr. Bayfarm.
Dr. Bayfarm!
Dr. Bayfarm was a scientific genius who created androids.
He was the first to succeed in creating one.
When word got out that he was trying to create perfect androids,
he was expelled from the scientific establishment.
He deleted all of the data from his central computer.
All other details are unknown.
Dr. Bayfarm must have created that android.
Hello?
Is... Is it you?
It's me, Rikudo Rin.
Please... Please tell me who you are!
Please! Tell me your name!
Are... Are you the serial killer?
I'll wait for you at Central Park, Doctor.
Hello? Hello?!
Hey!
I don't want to fight you.
Give yourself up!
You have no right to order me around.
I want your heart.
It thinks I'm Dr. Bayfarm.
Y-You can't feel pain?!
Pain? No.
Please tell me what pain is like.
Doctor.
If I had your heart, I would be perfect.
Joker!
Rin. I love you.
I want a perfect heart.
A perfect...
Why are you getting in my way?
Why?
Do you want my heart?
I... I don't want your heart.
I don't need it!
Joker!
Doctor.
Are you all right, Joker?
Thanks for the help.
Thanks, Rin.
It was nothing.
When an android is near death, a last-resort defense activates.
It transforms into a monster.
It's not Saki anymore?
You could say that.
I'm going after it.
Joker!
Stop!
Let Joker go!
D-Doctor...
Thanks for saving me.
Why?
Why was it born?
Why did Dr. Bayfarm create it?!
There's no way to know now,
but I think I understand how it felt.
It must have loved Dr. Bayfarm so much it wanted to kill him.
Rin.
H-Hey! Cut it out!
Rin. Do you hate me now?
No, but...
So you like me?
Y-You're not being fair!
I love you so much that I want to tease you!

After that day, I never saw Joker again.
I wonder where he is and what he's doing.
There's no information about Special Agent Joker in our computers.
The only information we get is
that some country's defense industry collapsed in a mysterious explosion,
or that a bigwig died in an accident somewhere.
Those are the only stories that caught the media's attention.
Joker, are you out there in the darkness of the big city,
searching for Dr. Bayfarm as he continues his cursed research?
Special Broadcast
Why did Dr. Bayfarm create it?
There's no way to know now,
but I think I understand how it felt.
