I get the feeling something's going to happen.
What kind of thing?
Tsukiko...
... not another fortune teller.
There's been a fourth attack.
Shibuya, Shinjuku and Ginza.
Three places. Three cases of murder.
And for some unknown reason each victim was a fortune-teller.
So, on this moonlit night...
(chanting)
Sensei! Are you okay? Sensei?!
Sensei!
Sensei..!
I called the police. Are you okay?
- I'm beat. - Too right. Let's go back.
- What's that? A man? - I don't know.
- What is it? - What could it be?
That person...
Er, excuse me?
We still can't find this man.
An important witness to the serial murders.
A man like that won't let himself be found.
Ah, I sick of looking for this guy.
Tonight let's all go for a drink!
- Katsushige, you can come too. - It's Katsuura.
- Great idea. - Are you buying?
- What? - In that case, I'll come too.
I'm not treating anyone.
If you want to increase your chances of getting rich...
- Tonight is the night to do it. - Really?
When it's a full moon, if you hold out your wallet to the moon and shake it...
- it'll bring you luck. So the saying goes.
- A wallet? And just shake it? - Yes.
- Shibayama! Stop that! - Ah... sorry.
- Less of this nonsense! - But you were all doing it...
- Although maybe I should try it? - Tannai-san?
I'm having trouble paying the mortgage this month.
So, everyone, take your wallet...
and take out anything that isn't money.
Receipts and that sort of thing.
Coupons, too? How about a Point Card?
Nope, no good.
Okay? Then what do we do.
Tonight is a full moon. I get the feeling something going to happen.
What kind of thing?
Tsukiko, do you have a moment?
Could it be... Another fortune teller?
There's been a fourth attack.
Goda Chihiro-san. You've been a fortune teller for seven years?
Yes. I was chanting a spell in here
- when I was attacked. - A spell?
When you use characters like stars in a circle you can create a space...
Where you can summon devils, or purify the place,
for example.
Chihiro-san, use this.
Thank you.
He's one of your followers?
No, he isn't a follower.
My name is Tozaki. I own this building.
I live on the floor above with Chihiro-san.
Oh, I see.
This is the second floor, and the criminal came in from the balcony.
And when he escaped, he jumped from here too.
Huh, Akiyama? What's this?
- Put your hat straight! - Leave it!
- It's hair. - Well, I can see that.
Do you have a dog or a cat as a pet?
No.
Perhaps it came from the beast?
In fact, in the three other locations
some kind of fur was found at the scene.
- Some kind of fur? - Yes. Some kind of fur.
A beast...
I knew I'd be next.
What?
Why do you say that?
The three victims taught me how to be a fortune teller.
In March, Yu Abe-san was murdered.
In April, it was Ogawa Itadaka-san.
In May, Isaki Ten-san.
- Their first names spell out "ecstatic"! - So they do!
I also believed the fourth attack would be tonight.
I had a feeling that something dangerous would happen.
This much is clear.
Also, these cases have one important thing in common.
Which is?
Wow... a police officer
who notices these kinds of things.
I'm a little different from your usual policeman.
Hang on. Why do you think tonight is more dangerous?
And what's this thing they have in common?
Abe Yu was killed on March 8th.
Ogawa Itadaka-san, died April 7th.
Isaki Ten-san, May 6th.
And the fourth victim
Goda Chihiro-san, was attacked tonight.
And so?
On each of these nights, there was a full moon.
The moon's influence is strongest on those days.
Nervousness increase and heart rate rises, so they say
- Isn't that just coincidence? - Coincidence? No.
You've heard that there are more births just before or after a full moon?
The full moon and the new moon are when stocks are at their lowest and highest.
But all these are just chance...
The hormone balance can be affected, and feelings of aggression increase.
It is said that murder, suicide and arson all increase.
Why are you saying this?
Do you mean the serial killer is under the influence of the full moon?
- That can't be... - That's exactly what I mean.
The power of the moon is causing these murders. No doubt about it.
Has this man been seen in the area again?
Yes.
Are you absolutely sure it was this man?
We've spoken to him before, so we're certain.
And he disappeared with amazing speed.
Amazing speed? That man?
Full moon... some kind of fur... a beast... agile movement...
- There can only be one conclusion? - Conclusion?
No, but really. It's a little...
Otonashi. Just say it.
This could be
I'm not certain. I'm just talking about the possibility.
For the last time, what is it, Tsukiko-san?
It's the work of the Wolf Man.
Aaaaagh!
I'm off.
- Let's go, Watanabe. - Sir.
subs: ersby
raws: furransu
Okay.
At least put it straight.
Huh? Otonashi?
Well, since she knows about fortune telling, I wondered if I could borrow her.
That's great! I mean... fine by me.
Listen up, everyone!
From today, Otonashi will be assigned to Gohara's team.
Otonashi?!
If Gohara-san insists he needs her...
I'm in no position to refuse.
- Otonashi, sorry to see you go. - It can't be helped, though.
But... I'll need the rest of you to help the investigation.
Of course. We'll do anything.
- Right, Watanabe-san? - Thank you for your help.
These are the three victims.
And the fortune teller attacked last night, Goda Chihiro-san, was trained by them.
Chihiro-san and her lover, Tozaki, live together in that building.
Also, at the scene of the crime, witnesses saw this man again.
We still don't know his name
but he's definitely the most important piece of this puzzle.
He never told us his name when I asked.
How often have you met him?
First, we spoke at the shrine to Masakado.
Next, was at the village of the Tengu.
Right. That's where I've seen him before.
You guys keep meeting this suspected murderer...
and not one of you gets his name. That's typical of you, Tannai-san.
- Oi, Shibayama. - And you, Gohara-san?
What clues have you found?
This man is an acquaintance of Tozaki, we know that.
An acquaintance?
These three people
were involved in some pretty shady business.
- You say your wife was hurt by some psychics? - Ha. By those three.
The victims? She used to visit them?
There were things going on behind the scenes.
The first one took a precious jewel from her.
Although she thought it odd and complained...
the second one brainwashed her,
and she signed away her house and car.
The third made her put his wife's debt in her name.
- And so you formed a victim support group? - I'm the chairman.
Everything my wife did was supposedly of her own free will
so, you see, we can't prove they are doing any harm.
So you know this man?
He did a talk at a meeting, yes.
He spoke about fraudulent psychics
and he told us how we could defeat them.
- Do you know his name? - Hmm, let's see...
I cannot forgive these nasty little criminals
I'm a busybody.
- ... is all called himself. - Well, well, well.
"Well, well, well"?
How's your wife now?
She's totally addicted to a new fortune-teller now.
- Is that Goda Chihiro? - Yes. My wife says
that Chihiro-san is different from the other three. She really gets messages from God
I don't think she'll ever learn.
The vice chairman of the support group is doing the same thing.
He's giving her a place to live.
The vice-chairman is Tozaki-san?
That guy's from a family of landowners.
Those three fortune tellers really stole a lot
but even he fell for Chihiro's charms.
I have to be somewhere.
Ah, just one more thing.
Where were you at eight o'clock last night?
Eight o'clock..?
I was at a support group meeting.
How many people were there with you?
Including Tozaki-san, about ten.
- Thank you very much. - Sure.
Do you think Chihiro-san and Tozaki-san are really lovers?
I don't know. He's been tricked by fortune tellers
and became the vice chairman of the victim support group
so why live with another fortune teller?
The moon's phases take about twenty nine and a half days to complete.
From the full moon, it'll slowly start disappearing.
Only Tsukiko-san could make the moon's phases seem interesting.
When the moon can no longer be seen, that's a new moon.
If you want to start something new,
a new moon would be a good time.
I was born under a new moon.
Is that why you're called Tsukiko?
And there were no stars in the sky. It must've been a quiet night.
Maybe Tsukiko-san is the reincarnation of Princess Kaguya.
Maybe they'll come and take me back to the moon.
That would be bad. Really bad.
Katsuura, look!
- Katsuura, after him! - Right!
Please wait!
You're kidding..!
He cut it with a cane?
I'll call for back up.
Don't bother, Katsuura.
Look at him. He's no ordinary man.
He might not be a man at all.
Then what?
He may be the Wolf Man.
Fake psychics make him angry, so he's punishing them himself.
Well...
Are you being serious?
I also thought I was crazy, but it must be him.
It's only on a full moon that he has the power to transform.
And so...
Aaaagh! There's no such thing as a Wolf Man.
People have seen him for generations.
- She's off again. - In Europe during the Dark Ages...
Rebels were banished into the woods by the authorities...
But at night people were still attacked, and that's when the werewolf legend began.
So it was just thieves.
During a full moon, when there was most light
criminals were able to do their work much more easily. But...
there's also the theory that the full moon can drive people wild.
Seriously, I can't take this any more!
Thanks to your generosity, Gohara,
this woman's unacceptable nonsense
will be taken away.
- Well, I didn't say I'd- - So, this Wolf man...
Gohara-san, please continue with your regular investigation.
But, the thing is...
The battle will be during the next full moon.
Until then, I shall be doing my own investigation.
That's all!
It's late.
A beautiful moon, though.
As you may know
my subordinates are looking for you.
Hmm... so it seems.
You should lie low for a while.
It'll soon be time to say farewell. To Tsukiko-san, too.
Yes. We think he intends to try again at the next full moon.
Excuse me.
Here you are.
Tozaki-san,
Did you ever meet the three fortune tellers?
He's quite a weak man.
There are many who cannot live without someone to lead them.
I seem to attract those kinds of people.
Well, are you a fraud like your teachers?
- Fraud? - Like, for example,
Property theft.
I don't do this for money.
You don't need money once you know where to get it.
What do you mean by that?
It's a secret.
If your belief is weak
you'll be easily deceived.
I've never tried to fool anyone for material gain, myself.
In other words, Tozaki-san lets you stay here of his own free will.
That's right.
Sounds fishy to me.
Well, shall we take a look into your future.
- Eh? - Let's do it.
Place your hand here.
You know, I don't believe in this kind of thing.
I see a drowning. Be careful around water.
A drowning? Makes no sense...
- And I see you are in love. - What?
With a very pretty colleague, right?
Amazing! Spot on! How did you know.
That's not really so amazing.
Being in love is hardly rare.
And if they reply "but I'm not in love."
You can just say "You'll meet someone soon."
Now, let me tell your fortune.
What's this?
Did you see something scary as a child?
She saw a Tengu when she was five.
- Quiet, Katsuura. - Sorry.
I see. There's something odd about it, like you were caught.
Can you see anything else?
- Your future. - Future?
Like who she'll marry?
This is...
What can you see, Chihiro-san?
It's not really working today.
In that case, let me try.
Chihiro-san, I shall tell your fortune.
It's no use.
Tonight there's a new moon.
When the influence of the moon is the same as when it is full.
A day when the spirit becomes strong.
Hm. Ah. I see something.
You are crying.
That's one of the clichés of fortune telling.
You're crying with someone. Your mother?
No, she seems older. Your grandmother.
Is that right, Chihiro-san?
This is absurd.
Running away?
You don't want me to know about your past?
Your bluff almost worked.
You should quit the police, do this full time.
Unfortunately,
I'm a police officer because I'm on a mission to find a genuine urban myth.
Is this a joke?
You're a funny one.
If you ever get fired, why not join me?
We'd make a great team.
Did you really see all that, Tsukiko-san?
Of course. It was a bluff.
But... hm...
Tozaki-san? Tozaki-san!
Are you okay?
I'm fine. Sorry.
Really, I'm fine.
Thanks.
My body's always been weak.
- So, you tried fortune telling..? - Yes, Chihiro-san.
She saw me going to the future with a strong aura.
Apart from the property left by my parents I have nothing.
I can't do anything for myself.
Now I'm happy, thanks to Chihiro-san.
But, do you think it's suspicious?
- Sorry! - Stop! Stop!
Ah, sorry!
Ah, it's just as Chihiro-san said!
I see a drowning.
Be careful around water.
You see? She's right. She's the real thing.
- I see. - Do you want to know more about her?
She can give you a bright future.
- A bright future? - Yes.
Like, your love becoming true?
- That would be easy for her. - Wow.
I'll just have a quick word.
Katsuura, what's got into you?
Sorry, but she was right about the water.
Isn't saying that going to lead to more victims of fraud?
No, not victims-
You're the vice-chairman of a support group.
I'm going to leave that group.
That night, I told Matoba-san.
That night?
The night when Chihiro-san was attacked?
Yes. So I got into an argument with Matoba-san.
You're going to live with the same person who's deceiving us?
Chihiro Goda-san was a student of the other three.
No. She's not like them.
- She's the real thing. - How can you say such things?!
The meeting was adjourned.
And there's not been one since.
What time did the meeting end?
A little after seven o'clock, I think.
Eight o'clock..? I was at a support group meeting.
So you finished early that night?
Yes. Is that important?
Well...
At the time when Chihiro-san was attacked
you told us you were with the other group members
didn't you?
- Yes. - But the truth is,
that meeting ended soon after seven.
The other members have confirmed this.
Since this seems a bit suspicious,
could you tell us what you were doing at eight o'clock that night?
If that was when she was attacked, then
any one of us could've done it, right?
A criminal lead by the power of the moon.
- Yes. - Otonashi.
Ah... Assistant Commissioner.
Excuse me.
Otonashi, is it true that the chairman's alibi has been disproved?
Yes. Gohara's questioning him now.
I've got it, Tsukiko-san. Ah... Assistant Commissioner.
- What is it that you understand? - Sir...
Matoba, the chairman of the support group...
was in a martial arts group when he was a student.
Even now, he still exercises.
We found a lot of training equipment at his place.
But if this chairman was the criminal,
then what does this man have to do with the crimes...
do you think?
With a fake alibi and knowledge of choking techniques
it looks like he's our man.
- But I don't think it's that simple.
You'd need specialised training to be like the Wolf Man.
We're back to that...
So no ordinary human could've committed these crimes.
There's still a chance that this person is the Wolf Man.
I see. Tricky, isn't it?
Ah, that reminds me...
Tannai-san, could you look into a couple of things for me?
- Don't order me around. - Tannai.
I think you should follow her instructions.
Sir!
Thanks, dear. I mean, Assistant Commissioner.
What is going on between them?
Gohara-san.
- Ah, Tsukiko. - How are things...
- with the interrogation? - Ah... that...
He just won't confess.
And we can't make an arrest,
because there's no physical evidence, linking him to the crime.
- Well, well, well... - "Well, well..?"
Gohara-san, why don't you come back to my place?
- Your place? - Yep.
- Why would he do that? - I'll go.
You. Keep your mouth shut.
(doorbell)
- Hello? - It's Gohara.
Sorry, I was a bit sweaty, so I'm just out of the shower.
- I see... - Just let yourself in.
Okay. Excuse me.
This is a nice place.
Excuse me.
Welcome.
I thought she lived alone...
Pleased to meet you. I'm her sister, Miyako.
Ah, don't worry. I just have a little infection.
He's the ace of the investigation team, Gohara-san.
Wow, the ace? Amazing.
It's not, really.
Hello, Gohara-san.
What... why... you..?
I could ask you the same.
Since the next full moon will be soon
this is a council of war.
This room will be the headquarters of the second investigation.
- That's why we're here? - Please take a seat.
Do you always come here?
No.. not always...
Don't worry about that, Miyako. I'll take care of it.
Okay.
Katsuura has some new information to tell us.
That's right. It's about the hair found at the crime scene.
And it came from a wolf?
Nope. From a mink.
Mink?
Yeah, like you'd find on an ordinary jacket.
Not a wolf?
The hair found at each crime scene were all mink.
How strange...
- Are you sure? - After I saw this...
I checked the four crime scenes again.
None had evidence of forced entry.
If I was possessed by the moon
I'd just smash my way into places.
You're right.
Certainly, it means there was never any Wolf Man.
- Wrong. We can't be so sure. - Huh?
We'll know after the next full moon.
Gohara-san, you'll help us, right?
- With what? - Luring the Wolf Man.
"So, on the night of the full moon, the curtain opens on a fearful tragic scene..."
He'll appear again?
Because there's a full moon tonight.
But, perhaps he's given up?
Why do you say that?
A man who kills when there's a full moon
won't give up after his first failure.
But didn't you catch the chairman of the victim support group?
That Matoba fellow.
He was part of the investigation, but he was never arrested.
He has no alibi but also there's no evidence linking him to the crime.
- And also... - Also?
Matoba-san doesn't seem the type.
Type?
How can I say... he not easily influenced by things like fortune tellers.
That type.
If you can be manipulated by the Moon's mysterious power
and given strength greater than your own
that indicates something darker hidden inside.
The Wolf Man will definitely appear.
If he didn't, it would be strange.
He really wanted you dead
then he'll certainly try again tonight.
Don't you agree, Chihiro-san?
Yes.
So tonight, I'll be your decoy.
Is this really necessary?
The killer's already murdered three people.
- If you're under threat, shoot him. - Sir.
Tsukiko-san, I've made the things you wanted.
- Ah. - What's that?
Bullets with a silver coating.
Aren't they supposed to be solid silver?
Well, I was on a tight schedule.
I guessed something silver would do.
Tsukiko-san, what are these?
You can only kill a werewolf with a silver bullet.
so they say. You must have heard about this.
- I've seen it in films. - Yes, films.
The story of silver bullets
first appeared in the early cinema.
But there may be some truth in it
according to Haruki.
- Haruki? Who's that? - A secret.
Here's one for each of you.
If the Wolf Man appears, please use this bullet.
- It'll be 3000 yen per bullet. - How much?
Aren't they usually 30 yen each?
Woah, dresses really suit her. She's looking good.
When I'm in the circle, try to keep your voice down.
Magic to summon the devil
becomes a door to another world, so you mustn't speak.
- Devil. - Yes.
I cast a spell in this.
to make a deal with the devil.
If someone weak summons the devil without good reason...
it can get serious.
(chanting)
- Do you think he'll really come? - Well...
If he comes, we'll do as she said.
Sir.
(sound of the wind)
(growling)
- The Wolf Man! - He's here!
Tsukiko-san, run!
How did he do that?
Katsuura! Do something!
Throw him off!
Get your hands off him!
If you don't, I'll shoot!
I'll really shoot!
Last warning!
- That was... - Gunshots! You stay here.
Sir.
I can't believe you missed from there.
That... was just a warning shot.
Liar.
Police!
Hands up!
Careful! I'm in pursuit!
Are you okay, Katsuura?
Tsukiko-san, I saw his face.
Huh?
The Wolf Man's face. And it's just as you expected.
Woah... what's that?!
If you're at a T-junction when there's a full moon, and you make a wish
that wish'll come true, Tsukiko-san says.
And shake your wallet at it and you'll be lucky with money.
- Have you taken the receipts out? - Coupons?
- Point card? - I only leave cash in there.
Let's try it.
- What's that? - What the hell are you guys doing?!
Watanabe-san, what's going on?
What does it look like? I'm chasing a werewolf!
The suspect has just passed the T-junction.
Come quietly!
I think we got him!
- What was that?! - Who is this guy?
Huh?
It's fine, it's fine. I'll do it.
You?
Tozaki-san.
Where did that strength come from?
Excuse me.
As I thought.
I see now.
The person who gave this man such power.
Eh?
I'm not really sure
why I'm here.
- Of course not. - What do you mean?
This case
seemed to be a case of a Wolf Man attacking during a full moon.
But I was wrong.
Thanks. I got it.
It's just been confirmed.
The fur from the pendant and the
fur from each crime scene is a perfect match.
You were the criminal, Tozaki-san.
But the person who gave you the power of the full moon
and made you a killer, well, that was someone else.
Right? Chihiro-san.
Otonashi.
- I figured it out. - I thought you would.
Figured what out?
Chihiro Goda. Real name, Tanaka Hiroko.
You lost both your parents while you were a schoolchild.
They committed suicide together at Mount Fuji.
Your father had been tricked by those three fortune tellers.
He lost his business and his house.
And when the grandmother you lived with after that died
You had to survive on your own.
You were also one of their victims.
So, at that time...
You're crying with someone. Your mother?
No, she seems older. Your grandmother.
This is absurd.
I recognised that you were just trying to hide your feelings.
So we looked into your past.
Amazing, Tsukiko-san. Your bluff became a hit.
In order to get revenge, you became close to the three fortune tellers.
Became a disciple.
Then you met a man who was susceptible to your influence.
- Susceptible. - Please look at this man.
His physical condition is usually much worse.
And he doesn't look like the kind that could kill a man.
So what if he did?
Usually people...
only use about a fifth of the strength they are capable of.
Only occasionaly are we able to demonstrate 100% of our strength.
It's called the Fight or Flight response.
Fight or Flight...
Recently in America a 15-year-old boy from Michigan
lifted a 900kg car
That his grandfather was trapped under.
This was reported widely.
Why was this boy able to achieve this?
No one really knows.
And this guy did the same?
These sorts of things are once in a lifetime events
but Chihiro-san was about to make him believe he could do it often.
Because the full moon is said to increase a body's ability.
It was an excellent trigger for the trance.
Chihiro-san went to the home of the victim in advance
And unlocked a window to make it easier to break in.
So that no one suspected you, you arranged for yourself to be attacked.
You made sure there'd be people in the next room.
Then, as you became scared that I was getting close to the truth
tonight, you made him attack me, too.
So what happens now?
Can you prove any of this?
You know, there is a way.
We can let the court decide.
When I was here this afternoon, I left this behind.
Well, goodbye.
"Tozaki... tonight there'll be a full moon."
"You will be helpless against the hatred boiling inside you."
You will kill the detective called Otonashi Tsukiko.
I've had this bad feeling
ever since I met you.
Of course. You were predicting your own future.
I don't have any powers like that.
That whole fortune telling thing was fake.
Eh?
All that talk about mysterious forces was just acting.
You mean...
My hypnosis only increased what was already there.
You really did hate those three fortune tellers.
And me, too.
Your hatred for people
became an ability to understand their thoughts.
I was quite proud I could tell what people thought just by their expressions.
When someone wanted to tell me something, I could just read their face.
So, you used the power of the moon and your fortune telling
to bring about your revenge.
I was amazed
that someone who was so susceptible
really exists.
But Tozaki really believed in you.
You saw that as a weakness and exploited it.
In the end
Those three hateful fortune tellers
were no different... to me.
It's a shame.
You could have
really helped people.
Let's go back to the station.
I'm a fake, so you don't have to believe me...
Hm?
That time when I was looking into the crystal ball... I saw something.
Eh?
About your future...
This is..?
Er, what did you see?
Take care.
Because...
you'll be dead within a week.
Huh?
You're sick! Don't mess with us!
On top of everything, we've got threatening a police officer.
I may be a fake,
but that's my prediction.
We'll look after you, won't we? Guys?
Sure.
Everyone will protect you. You'll be fine.
- Otonashi's a good cop, right? - Yep.
You'll grow to like her charms.
So from this day on, she'll be part of your team.
- That's great, isn't it. - Right.
Thanks but no thanks.
She doesn't really fit in with the rest of the team.
- But, I think th- - I'll leave her with you.
Damn. Failed.
- Let's go. - Sir.
So we never found out the name of the man in the police sketch.
Tsukiko-san?
You believe that fortune teller!
So I'll die within a week..?
I've decided that I may stay here a little longer.
That's good.
Now you're not a suspected serial killer.
Perhaps another week here.
A week?
A week where I can
be close to Tsukiko-san.
