3. My original life, 1988.Copy !req
4. Kayo, Hiromi and Aya Nakanishi
had disappeared,Copy !req
5. and then their bodies were found.Copy !req
6. I blamed myself for not being able
to save any of them.Copy !req
7. I made an effort to forget about all of it.Copy !req
8. What was left
was a gaping hole in my heart.Copy !req
9. There have been many fun things,
sad things, successes and failures.Copy !req
10. Today you graduate elementary school,Copy !req
11. but there is still so much that's missing.Copy !req
12. That goes for me, too.Copy !req
13. And yet, I think filling up
that missing something...Copy !req
14. is what life is!Copy !req
15. ERASEDCopy !req

34. What are they talkin' about?Copy !req
35. You wanna get a little closer?Copy !req
36. I thought I saw you before!Copy !req
37. You're the kids who're always sneaking
into that building across the river!Copy !req
38. The hideout...Copy !req
39. So it's totally in the open from here.Copy !req
40. Hideout?Copy !req
41. How childish.Copy !req
42. Y-Y-You...Copy !req
43. Don't call it childish.Copy !req
44. Boys are always sneaking around
building "secret bases" and "hideouts."Copy !req
45. I bet you're playing
at being superheroes, aren't you?Copy !req
46. D-Don't make fun of superheroes!Copy !req
47. Satoru!Copy !req
48. Well, I have to go.Copy !req
49. Bye!Copy !req
50. Wait!Copy !req
51. - Kazu?
- Kazu?Copy !req
52. Huh?Copy !req
53. Wh-What do you want?Copy !req
54. Hideouts...Copy !req
55. show man's adventurous spirit!Copy !req
56. If you have free time, visit our hideout!Copy !req
57. Then you'll understand!Copy !req
58. You're all weirdos!Copy !req
59. Childish...Copy !req
60. Yesterday was fun, wasn't it?Copy !req
61. They're here after all.Copy !req
62. Can a girl even understand
"adventurous spirit"?Copy !req
63. The gloves I left here
and forgot about 18 years ago...Copy !req
64. It looked like she didn't.Copy !req
65. I don't like spending time
on leveling up.Copy !req
66. That's what makes it fun.Copy !req
67. Hey, Satoru, Nakanishi should be
going to the park soon.Copy !req
68. It's okay.Copy !req
69. I can see her from here.Copy !req
70. I see.Copy !req
71. Yesterday was a failure.Copy !req
72. But how can I get close to her?Copy !req
73. I had free time
so I'm here to see your hideout.Copy !req
74. Welcome to our hideout!Copy !req
75. 5th Grade, Class 4Copy !req
76. See you!Copy !req
77. Bye-bye!Copy !req
78. Are you going to see Aya again?Copy !req
79. Well, yeah.Copy !req
80. We'll both go to the hideout later.Copy !req
81. HOPECopy !req
82. So see you later!Copy !req
83. Later, Sensei!Copy !req
84. You mean "goodbye"!Copy !req
85. It's strange to think
of those two together.Copy !req
86. Then I guess this solves
the Aya Nakanishi problem.Copy !req
87. Yeah.Copy !req
88. Um... Satoru...Copy !req
89. Kenya too... Thank you.Copy !req
90. I think getting rid of someone's
"alone time" is a great thing.Copy !req
91. Since both of my parents work,Copy !req
92. the house is always empty
when I come home, so I can understand.Copy !req
93. I was thrilled when you did it for me,
but for Kayo and Aya, too.Copy !req
94. Hey!Copy !req
95. Let's go to the hideout!
I'm sick of waiting.Copy !req
96. Huh? Where's Kazu?Copy !req
97. He went to meet Aya.Copy !req
98. Why?Copy !req
99. Why...Copy !req
100. Aya knows where the hideout is, right?Copy !req
101. Yeah, that's true, but...Copy !req
102. Well, whatever! Let's go!Copy !req
103. Y-Yeah!Copy !req
104. Goodbye, Sensei!Copy !req
105. Hurry up!Copy !req
106. There's no rush!Copy !req
107. Wait for me!Copy !req
108. That's right!Copy !req
109. Aya Nakanishi.Copy !req
110. Hiromi Sugita.Copy !req
111. And Kayo Hinazuki.Copy !req
112. He murdered the three of them
the first time around,Copy !req
113. but this time,
they're out of his target sight.Copy !req
114. Still, now that clues have been lost,
will I be able to find him?Copy !req
115. See? Now he looks
even more like a girl.Copy !req
116. Amazing, isn't it?Copy !req
117. Satoru...Copy !req
118. Is this the end of "playing detective"?Copy !req
119. Of course not. It's not over yet.Copy !req
120. In 2006, Mr. Sawada said
Mom knew who the real killer was.Copy !req
121. COIN LAUNDRYCopy !req
122. I think it was someone
Mom knew back in 1988.Copy !req
123. It's not like Sensei's candy,
but after the killer lost his targets,Copy !req
124. I bet anything
he's looking for a substitute.Copy !req
125. STAFF ROOMCopy !req
126. Move.Copy !req
127. Well, we're going to watch
the ice hockey match.Copy !req
128. - Is Hamada gonna be in it?
- Of course.Copy !req
129. Wow.Copy !req
130. Well, tell him I said good luck.Copy !req
131. - Sure!
- See you later.Copy !req
132. Sorry to keep you waiting!Copy !req
133. Have you noticed how Yanagihara
has been alone a lot lately?Copy !req
134. Misato?Copy !req
135. She's kind of been
on the outs with everyoneCopy !req
136. ever since that business
with the lunch money.Copy !req
137. I see.Copy !req
138. I'll try talking to her on Monday.Copy !req
139. Okay.Copy !req
140. March 15th 1988Copy !req
141. Thank you!Copy !req
142. I may be a little late today.Copy !req
143. That's fine, but call me when you know
what time you'll be home.Copy !req
144. Sure. See you later!Copy !req
145. See you later, Satoru!Copy !req
146. Goodbye!Copy !req
147. We get to ride in Sensei's car!Copy !req
148. Really?Copy !req
149. We can go ahead,
leaving you-know-who behind.Copy !req
150. Good idea!Copy !req
151. How can I start
a conversation with her?Copy !req
152. Let's do it!Copy !req
153. A bus?Copy !req
154. Satoru...Copy !req
155. I hear Misato's the next person
who's "alone"?Copy !req
156. Yeah, but...Copy !req
157. She may be heading
for Wakaba Gymnasium.Copy !req
158. Really?Copy !req
159. Mr. Yashiro said he invited her
to cheer on Hamada.Copy !req
160. Come to think of it, she was alone
at the game last week too.Copy !req
161. Thank you!Copy !req
162. Want us to go with you?Copy !req
163. Nah, I think I'm better off on my own
this time. And it's just a look-see.Copy !req
164. I see.Copy !req
165. If you're still playing detective,
I want a full report tomorrow.Copy !req
166. Of course!Copy !req
167. If anything happens,
come to the hideout!Copy !req
168. I will! See you later!Copy !req
169. - See you!
- See you tomorrow!Copy !req
170. - See you!
- Bye!Copy !req
171. See you!Copy !req
172. He makes a big deal out of it every day.Copy !req
173. I know.Copy !req
174. Even though we're going to
see him tomorrow...Copy !req
175. It's colder in here than it is outside.Copy !req
176. Hamada!Copy !req
177. Go, go, Kouichi!Copy !req
178. Shut up, ugly! Just watch,
with your mouth shut!Copy !req
179. We can say what we want!Copy !req
180. Kouichi! Watch your mouth!Copy !req
181. There'll be no dinner for you!Copy !req
182. You're not serious?Copy !req
183. There she is.Copy !req
184. And she is alone.Copy !req
185. All right! Start warming up!Copy !req
186. Okay!Copy !req
187. At any rate, the killer lost
two targets at once.Copy !req
188. Is she just the person to make up for it?Copy !req
189. The bathroom...Copy !req
190. The game starts in five minutes!Copy !req
191. Right!Copy !req
192. It's taking her too long.Copy !req
193. EXITCopy !req
194. I just went out for a sucker.Copy !req
195. What's wrong?Copy !req
196. The game's going to start.Copy !req
197. What are you doing here?Copy !req
198. U-Um...Copy !req
199. Uh, I wanted to talk to Misato.Copy !req
200. Misato?Copy !req
201. Huh?Copy !req
202. - Did Misato go outside?
- Yeah.Copy !req
203. The game hasn't started yet.Copy !req
204. SHIRATORI FOOD PRODUCTSCopy !req
205. Yuuki's family truck?Copy !req
206. Sensei! There's something
I need to check on right away!Copy !req
207. Help me!Copy !req
208. If this is true, we're talking a crime.Copy !req
209. We call it "playing detective."Copy !req
210. We pretend there's a kidnapper at large,Copy !req
211. then talk to and befriend girls
who are alone a lot.Copy !req
212. It's supposed to be a precautionary
measure against abductions.Copy !req
213. I get it.Copy !req
214. You may be playing, but it's effective.Copy !req
215. Thank you, Sensei.Copy !req
216. Satoru, your seat belt.Copy !req
217. Huh?Copy !req
218. Oh, it's been sticking lately.Copy !req
219. There!Copy !req
220. So you've noticed
that Misato has been alone a lot lately.Copy !req
221. No, not until Hiromi
brought it to my attention.Copy !req
222. Even so, I respect your spirit and drive.Copy !req
223. Really?Copy !req
224. But this time I used my difficulty
in talking to her as an excuse,Copy !req
225. and as a result,
Misato has become like bait.Copy !req
226. Bait, huh?Copy !req
227. You're pretty serious.Copy !req
228. So there's a flip side to your sudden
friendly overtures with people recently.Copy !req
229. Yeah. I wanted to fill
the hole in the heart.Copy !req
230. Other people's and my own.Copy !req
231. Crap. I just regurgitated
Yashiro's own line.Copy !req
232. We have a lot in common, Satoru.Copy !req
233. That's exactly my philosophy in life.Copy !req
234. I intended to bring that up
at the graduation ceremonyCopy !req
235. ever since I was put
in charge of sixth grade.Copy !req
236. It seems you regret
using Misato as a lure,Copy !req
237. but there's no need to feel guilty
or ashamed about it.Copy !req
238. The essence of good deeds
and evil deeds is the same.Copy !req
239. They're both no more than a person's actions
to make up for a defect in themselves.Copy !req
240. That's an extreme way of thinking.Copy !req
241. To get closer to someone recently,
I've taken all kinds of measures.Copy !req
242. Sometimes I'm straightforward.Copy !req
243. Sometimes I throw a curve ball.Copy !req
244. I've even tried using
what can be called "illegal moves."Copy !req
245. Boy, it's been fun.Copy !req
246. Um... You're talking about a girlfriend?Copy !req
247. Certainly, there are similarities
with a romantic situation.Copy !req
248. I guess "filling the hole in your heart"
is the commonality.Copy !req
249. Want a candy?Copy !req
250. Thanks, Satoru.Copy !req
251. But there is no candy in there.Copy !req
252. After all, this isn't my car.Copy !req
253. Episode 10 JoyCopy !req
254. What do you mean it isn't your car?Copy !req
255. Your happiest moment...Copy !req
256. Don't you find that gets
updated again and again?Copy !req
257. My latest "happiest moment"
happened today.Copy !req
258. Filling up that missing something
in your heart is the finest moment.Copy !req
259. Finding what you're looking for
and then obtaining it...Copy !req
260. The more difficulties there are, the greater
the happiness when you overcome them.Copy !req
261. I don't get it.Copy !req
262. What's he talking about?Copy !req
263. Dissolves fastCopy !req
264. Laxatives?Copy !req
265. Satoru, you lied to me about one thing.Copy !req
266. You said you're pretending
there's a kidnapper,Copy !req
267. but you've actually confirmed there is one
and now you're acting on it.Copy !req
268. I resisted that idea.Copy !req
269. I couldn't believe it.Copy !req
270. Rather, I didn't want to believe it.Copy !req
271. That someone was anticipating
my thinking.Copy !req
272. Don't worry.Copy !req
273. Misato isn't in that car.Copy !req
274. The only person in that vehicle
is the driver, Jun Shiratori's father.Copy !req
275. WILD CAMPING SITECopy !req
276. I had no idea until that day
I saw you tailing Aya Nakanishi.Copy !req
277. The day I dropped you guys off is the day
I was going to carry out my plan.Copy !req
278. Still, it's funny, isn't it?Copy !req
279. Here you were, trying
to snatch my prey away from me,Copy !req
280. and I seriously gave you
advice on how to do it.Copy !req
281. That was the second time
you prevented my plans.Copy !req
282. That's when I began to suspect
it was more than coincidence.Copy !req
283. Misato was ostracized, so I encouraged her
to go to the hockey gameCopy !req
284. and then told Hiromi about it.Copy !req
285. Satoru, if you came, my suspicion
would turn into conviction.Copy !req
286. That you're my enemy.Copy !req
287. I don't believe it.Copy !req
288. I waited for the right time, then gave
Misato a drink laced with laxative.Copy !req
289. I'd ordered bentos
from Shiratori beforehand.Copy !req
290. It can't be!Copy !req
291. It can't be!Copy !req
292. All of the pieces fit into place,
just as I planned.Copy !req
293. This is my true form.Copy !req
294. By the way, I switched
to this car right before coming.Copy !req
295. My standards for choosing a car
are a little different from everyone else.Copy !req
296. I have several cars of the same make
and color in the area,Copy !req
297. dummies that I can use
at a moment's notice.Copy !req
298. Although this is the first time
it's come in handy...Copy !req
299. I'm an idiot.Copy !req
300. It was so obvious.Copy !req
301. Kayo's going to be okay now.Copy !req
302. I just couldn't accept it.Copy !req
303. The name Manabu Yashiro
was on Mr. Sawada's list of suspects, too.Copy !req
304. Jun Shiratori
Seiichiro Shiratori
Isao Ishidou
Sachiko Fujinuma
Junya Saitou
Manabu Yashiro
Shinji SakashitaCopy !req
305. It's just that my mom's name
was on there too,Copy !req
306. so I disregarded the meaning of the list.Copy !req
307. I had so much trust in Yashiro
that I rejected any doubts.Copy !req
308. But...Copy !req
309. the killer is right next to me...Copy !req
310. Yashiro!Copy !req
311. It's snowing, huh?Copy !req
312. That won't come undone.Copy !req
313. Game over.Copy !req
314. For you and me.Copy !req
315. Satoru, I still can't believe it.Copy !req
316. You thoroughly anticipated
my plans and crushed them.Copy !req
317. To be honest, I'm stunned
that you cornered me like this.Copy !req
318. It's like you've seen the future.Copy !req
319. I don't want any hard feelings,
so let me just say this.Copy !req
320. You've interfered with my plans, but
what I'm about to do is not for revenge.Copy !req
321. I truly do respect you.Copy !req
322. I want you to think of this
as my sublimationCopy !req
323. for not being able to satisfy my desires.Copy !req
324. I thought you said
it was game over for you, too!Copy !req
325. Satoru, you've won peace for this town.Copy !req
326. Isn't that what you wanted?Copy !req
327. And what I get to have is your death
at my hands and for my sake.Copy !req
328. Yashiro! I won't die
until I see you destroyed!Copy !req
329. That's what they call aiming too high.Copy !req
330. Yashiro! Bastard!Copy !req
331. You go to hell!Copy !req
332. Dammit! Dammit!Copy !req
333. I'm going to leave this town.Copy !req
334. Yashiro!Copy !req
335. I know your future!Copy !req
336. Crap...Copy !req
337. Cold!Copy !req
338. I can't...Copy !req
339. Crap!Copy !req
340. Can't feel...Copy !req
341. Crap...Copy !req
342. Mom...Copy !req
343. What is it, Satoru?Copy !req
344. When I look up, our eyes meet.Copy !req
345. Everyone...Copy !req
346. Satoru!Copy !req
347. Thank you, Satoru.Copy !req
348. Kayo...Copy !req
349. Airi...Copy !req
