What? Murder at the TV station?
Hm?
This is..!
What do you think, Tannai-san?
What?
These mysterious bite marks.
I'll send it for examination
to discover if it's from a person or not.
- What else could it be? - A stray cat?
- A cat that eats cucumber? - Some of them do.
No, it's nothing like that.
Are you saying it's the bite marks of a Kappa?
Amazing! You're starting to think more like me!
No, I'm not...
That's why we always got along so well.
No, no. Not at all.
It is my opinion that moat has Kappa!
Otonashi. It must be nice to be you. You're always having fun.
I'm jealous.
I see, what you're saying is...
you wish you'd thought of it first.
That not what I'm saying! I'd never say that!
Agh!
Not again...
(phone rings)
Yes! I see...
What? Murder at the TV station?
The victim was a staff member
Sugai Suichi. Forty five years old.
Time of death was between 11 and 2 last night.
He was working late on some technical tests.
Sugai... Sugai...
What are these scratches on his neck?
Probably from when he was fighting the criminal.
And he died from a blow to the head. Where's the weapon?
We haven't found it yet.
- Katsuura, what are you doing? - Nothing. There was dust and...
- Your collar! - Good work, everyone!
Ah, Tsukiko! Why did you call the rest of Tannai's team, too?
What are you trying to say?
Shibayama. It's fine. What was the victim working on?
Oh, er... right...
Until recently, he'd been working on a variety show.
- Something about UFOs or psychics. - UFOs?! Psychics?!
That's right, Tsukiko.
Recently he was transferred to the transmission centre.
That explains it.
These are documents from that programme.
Take a look at these photos.
- Is that a ghost? - Wow.
- Katsuura...
why are you showing us this weird stuff?
At the time of death it seems the lights were out.
And in the dark, these terrible spirit photographs were by his side.
Can it be a curse?
Shibayama! Don't talk nonsense.
- Isn't this fake? - Hm?
It doesn't seem like a real photo.
It's rare to find a power strong enough to commit murder.
- I can't see! - Otonashi, what are you doing now?
I want to know how it was when he died.
You're good at working this!
- Huh? - What?
This is the video the victim was watching
Tsukiko-san?
Look. Tokyo Tower and the Skytree.
So what?
I've loved the Tokyo Tower ever since I was small.
- And so..? - Don't you know?
- On the site where the tower now stands
there used to be a cemetery. So now the tower
is a centre for mysterious occurances.
- Apparently. - Which means..?
The will of the dead sleeping under the tower pulled on the tower
and there's a legend that says the tower is leaning slightly.
What? Tokyo Tower's leaning?
That can't be true.
The Skytree will be opening soon
and it's rumoured that this has broken a barrier in Tokyo.
Excuse me. We've found bloodstains in the corridor.
- What? Let's take a look, Watanabe. - Sir.
This case may decide the fate of these two towers.
subs: ersby
raws: furransu
This is Daisai Miyuki, the person who found the body.
- I'm Tannai of the Investigation team. - Shibayama.
Can you describe what you saw when you found the body?
I work as an AD on a news program
Good morning! I'm here to deliver the tapes!
This morning, I was taking the tapes round...
Sugai-san?!
(door opens)
I'm Sugai's brother, Hiroyuki. I work as a journalist here.
- This is his- - I'm Sayoko, his wife.
Is it true my husband was murdered?
- I'm Tannai from the investigation team. - Shibayama.
Please.
When was the last time you saw your husband?
Last night. At nine.
Where was that?
In the corridor.
You haven't seen him since?
He didn't come home last night.
I understand. He must be very busy.
No. These days, we not really together.
I see. So you left the station...?
Less than thirty minutes after that.
And when was the last time you spoke to your brother?
Hmm, when was it..?
I'm a little busy. I didn't get any sleep last night.
Are you okay?
Ah, sorry. I want to help with preparing the funeral
But I have to go soon.
Don't worry. It's fine.
With you brother working at the same TV station
you must see each other a lot.
Yes, well, we work on completely different shows.
Hiroyuki-san, which program?
The news documentary that goes out on Sunday.
You mean "There's just one truth"?
That's right. I'm working on it today.
Sorry, but if you have any questions,
- feel free to call me. - I understand.
Excuse me for a second.
His brother dies, but he still has to work. Must be tough.
You say that, but it's the same for us police.
Because I'm a cop, I've had to sacrifice my private life.
Right.
Really? We'll meet up tonight at my place.
Urban Myth forum meet! Should be fun.
Of course, there are some cops who won't sacrifice anything.
Yes.
Excuse me.
Excuse me please.
Why was your husband interested in the Tokyo Tower and the Skytree?
Hm?
I see... he seemed to like Tokyo Tower.
Do you know the rumours?
Rumours? What?
About the lights on the Tower at night.
If two lovers are looking at the Tower when the lights go out,
then that means their love will be everlasting.
Yes.
And this is how he got his women.
What?
This means we'll be happy forever...
How many women did he promise eternal happiness while holding their hands? Hm?
I have to get back to work.
- Of course. - Excuse me.
So it's like that, is it?
- I'm slowly working it out. - Hm? What's that?
If you see the lights go out together you'll be happy
To exploit such a nice urban myth
is bound to make the Tokyo Tower angry.
- Pardon? - Or to be exact...
the souls of the people under the Tower.
- Because of this, your husband- - Otonashi, not again!
- Your husband- - Get out, now.
I'll tell you later.
Ah, and I really wanted to say it.
What's this? Ah, Sugai-san!
It's been a long time, hasn't it. Since the last case.
Wait a minute. I've been trying to remember why I know that name.
Could it be you and the victim are...
We're brothers.
I'm sorry to hear that.
- We'll definitely catch the killer. - I'll leave it in your hands.
Sorry, but I have people waiting.
Excuse me.
Do you know him?
He was a journalist who always seemed to be in the right place.
Every year he'd win the prize for best news story.
Well, it was mostly thanks to me.
- What? - Each story he won the prize with
- was a case being lead by me. - By you?
He was great to work with. I'll definitely find the killer.
(phone)
Hello?
Yes? I see.
Gohara-san. There's been a murder in Fuchu City.
What the hell. It's one thing after another.
Tsukiko, can you let me know of any developments here.
When I first met my husband we were both still in our early twenties.
I quit my job to get married.
- Do you have children? - We don't.
Besides, he was always chasing other women,
Apart from the young woman earlier,
he was also dating an announcer.
An announcer?!.. Sorry.
Why is the program being cancelled?
That young woman!
Sugai, do you agree with her?
- Well... - Excuse me.
- Is it true what they say? - Huh?
Anything Bandou Eiji-san praises will be in demand.
Well...
But on the front cover of "The television" he's holding a lemon.
- Is this his new talisman? - Can it be?
I hear he started carrying that lemon around to ease the tension of some famous actress.
I see.
Thanks for your help.
- Who are you? - Officer Otonashi.
Tsumura-san. I always watch "There's just one truth"
What is the meaning of this?
I wanted to ask about your brother and the Tokyo Tower.
Otonashi. What are you up to now?
Questioning.
- You are Tsumura Kaori-san, yes? - Yes.
Could you tell us where you were between 11 and 2 last night?
Why are you asking her for an alibi?
We're been told that you went with Sugai-san
and saw the lights of the Tokyo Tower go out.
An affair?..
Do you think I'm a suspect?
Certainly, he took a lot of women there since he separated.
Everyone knew about it.
At that time last night...
I was with him in the staff room.
- Isn't that right, Sugai? - Yes.
Just the two of you?
There were no other staff in the building
so we were alone together.
Is this right?
Yes, certainly.
Miyuki-san! Miyuki-san!
Did you know about that?
That Sugai-san and Tsumura-san were dating?
I'd heard they'd already split.
But Sugai-san usually went back to women he'd split up with.
Doesn't sound like a good boyfriend.
But since he was moved from his old job
he seemed to become depressed.
A lowly AD like me
compared to an announcer, there was no competition.
You said Sugai-san was depressed?
Because he was moved to a new department and put in charge of the test broadcast.
Was that what he was doing last night?
The digital TV signal is still transmitted from the Tokyo Tower
but from next year, it'll come from the Skytree.
So to prepare for the switch-over
we do test transmissions from the Skytree at night.
That's what he was doing last night.
Sugai-san was broadcasting from the Skytree?
Tokyo Tower is beautiful, isn't it?
- Is it tilting today? - No way. It doesn't tilt.
Before he died,
Sugai-san would often bring women here
so he could see the lights go out with them and say that
according to legend, they'd be eternally happy together.
Wait. Is that true?
And this made the Tokyo Tower angry.
And the Tokyo Tower's rival,
the Skytree, was recently being used for test transmissions.
This brought forth the wrath of the souls under the Tower.
Katsuura, has the murder weapon been found?
No, not yet.
As I thought. And it won't be found. The murder weapon.
Huh?
Sugai-san was not attacked by humans.
What's this?
It's a shame, but no matter how long we search
this case will never be explained.
Well, I guess...
After all, the victim
exploited that wonderful legend of the Tokyo Tower.
If you see the lights go out, you always be happy together...
Let's try it, Tsukiko-san.
You shouldn't mess around with the magic of love.
When do they go out? It's now six...
The lights go out at midnight don't they?
We'll just have to wait.
- I'll leave you to it. - Wait.
We have the forum meet tonight.
But we have to both see it, or it won't work.
Hey! Stop... Go out!... Go out!...
Wait. Are they even on?
The victim, Sugai Suichi-san was a womaniser.
Recently we know he was dating two women.
Daisai Miyuki, the AD who found the body.
And the announcer, Tsumura Kaori.
Both people have ID cards and so
they can come and go freely.
His wife, Sayoko-san, was preparing for a divorce.
She has a qualification in medical affairs and was already looking for a new job.
Did we check what time she left the building?
No, the office doesn't keep
records of when people leave.
I see. Well, it's definitely one of these three women.
See what else you can find out about them.
Sir.
- And Tsukiko?
- Where's she now? - Who knows?
What kind of answer's that?
(doorbell)
Hellooo.
Cheers!
Tokyo Tower is made out of tanks, right?
That's right. After the Korean war, old tanks were melted down
and used to make the steel frame.
But what about the theory that the Sky Tree has broken a barrier.
- What do you think? - Well, it could be the opposite.
They say that it's created another barrier.
Tokyo Tower, Ikebukuro Sunshine
and the Skytree.
These three high-rise buildings form a triangle
around the Imperial Palace.
And this new barrier
will protect Tokyo and Japan.
Really amazing.
I really want to believe that's true.
That's right. Me too.
Is it connected to
the picture of prophecy from the Edo period?
What's that?
You've never heard of it?
No... sorry.
At the end of the Edo period, Kuniyoshi Utagawa made a print
called "Caulking Boats".
In the picture, next to a watchtower,
there's a structure that looks just like the new Skytree.
Kuniyoshi Utagawa was able to draw pictures of ghosts.
Maybe there are people who can see such things.
Prophecy? From Edo?
We're surrounded by invisible things, if only we had the eyes to see.
Ah! I see it!
Dust.
- Take care. - See you.
Learn about Kuniyoshi-sensei.
- I will. - Really.
Right, Katsuura.
First thing tomorrow morning, we're going to the Skytree.
You've drunk too much. Do you want some water?
Yep.
Tokyo Tower and the Skytree. What's their connection?
More importantly... me and you. What's our connection?
I'm home!
- Of course you are! I was expecting you. - What?
I was thinking it was about time you got back.
If you want, I can go for a quick walk.
- Hm? - Come here.
- Katsuura, you're serious about my sister? - Of course.
So it'd be better if you two were alone.
Huh?
Yes, but now Tsukiko's a bit drunk, so-
Hey, if she's drunk then I can...
No, that's fine. I'm off.
Sorry to bother you.
Thanks for having me...
Another chance wasted...
(the door locks) Ah.
You were attacked?
Who's that? Otonashi?
Yes. Seems she was attacked by a slit-mouth woman.
Wow, that old story.
- Give me that. - Sir.
Hello?
"The mental shock was enormous"
"the first time I saw her."
"She tapped on my shoulder and asked if she was beautiful."
Otonashi! That's enough!
- She hung up! - Are you okay?
- She hung up on me!
What's so funny? Are you laughing at me?
I'm not laughing.
Woah, that's tall. Like, really tall.
This is the first time I've seen it from so close.
Huh? What's that?
That's Sorakara! Don't you know, Katsuura?
Why would I know about this?
It's the Tokyo Tower's big rival. The mascot of the Skytree.
You should understand that.
Sorakara's catchphrase is
"From the sky, from now on, I will try", you know?
Hug, please!!
From the sky, from now on, I will try!!
So cute...
Huh?
- Thank you very much. - Keep working hard.
Thank you.
I hope everyone visits the Skytree soon!
Excuse me!
Ah, officer.
- Chiyoko-san. - It's Sayoko.
Ah, Sayoko-san. Thank you for yesterday's chat.
Chat...
Ah, about whether my husband was killed by a curse.
Yes. To be exact,
killed by the souls of the people buried under Tokyo Tower.
Are you being serious?
And how is it connected to the transmissions from the Skytree.
Don't worry.
We're conducting a regular investigation alongside this one.
I tend to have a unique perspective.
Doesn't that annoy people? Like your boss?
That's fine, as long as I solve the crime.
It must be tough dealing with your boss.
It is.
By the way, what brings you out here?
I live near here.
Before we married, he...
my husband, would walk me
back to my house.
The idea of our neighbourhood having such a famous building,
well, we never even thought of it.
The landscape isn't the only thing to change.
People's feelings change, too.
We went to the Skytree.
So?
Your brother died while he was doing a test transmission from the Skytree.
When is the next test transmission?
I heard they're doing one every day this week. Why do you ask?
- And it's at the same time each night? - I guess.
Please! At the next test
is it possible for the two of us to be there?
You want to be there?
Yes. So we can watch the test transmission.
Sure. I'll tell security to expect you.
Thank you very much!
Ah, are these
the trophies you won for Scoop of the Year?
Gohara was telling me how you used to work together.
I owe Officer Gohara a lot.
Amazing!
You win it every year.
All because of my colleagues and contacts. Thanks to them, I can do my job.
The younger brother wins awards every year and is allowed to make a TV show.
The older brother has the job he wants taken away from him.
You reap what you sow.
He was a womaniser.
Everyone knew the rumours. It affected his assessments.
He was a fool.
- Thank you for your time. - Thank you.
Wasn't there something a bit odd about him?
Odd? How?
He didn't once look at your legs
plus he seems really into his work.
You're wrong, Katsuura.
Hiroyuki-san isn't obsessed by work.
but he's obsessed by someone else.
Obsessed? Who?
Well, what shall we do until tonight?
Wait...
Something's not quite right...
Were you still seeing Sugai-san?
As usual, you're so boring.
You're young, can't you dress a bit more stylishly?
Huh?
Because of that, Sugai-san was getting tired of you.
That's what he told me.
That child wants to get married so much it's annoying me.
He said the same to me.
He got less work since the alpha-female announcer got involved.
- What the hell! - What?
- How dare you!
- Katsuura! Stop them! - Yes!
Excuse me. Could you stop, please.
Stop...
Stop, please...
- What the..? Shibayama. Split them up. - Sir!
Police! Break it up!
I told you to stop!
Otonashi, what are you doing back here?
Since that meeting with the slit-mouthed woman I've lost all courage.
- You cretin. - That was close...
There's no need to cry.
We just want to know what you did during that day.
I was at home all evening.
Can you prove it?
I live alone! Of course I can't!
I see...
Ah, this is a pain.
I'm sorry you had to see all that.
Hm?
To see a young girl and her rival in love fighting.
It's undignified at my age.
I don't think age has anything to do with it.
Huh?
The way I dress
Whether I'm thirty or forty, I think I'll still dress the same.
- You want to grow old and stay cool. - Well...
Even if the age difference is large, people can still be in love.
That's what I think is cool.
Not that we're saying it's good to have an affair.
You don't get it, Katsuura. I wasn't talking about that.
I'm talking about self-awareness. Kaori-san.
That's why I'm always making the same mistakes.
Same places and faces every day.
But the next person you meet might make it worth while.
Maybe.
It's been a while since I wore a mini-skirt.
It has its pros and cons.
- Let's go, Katsuura. - Okay.
- Thank you very much - Excuse us.
- He's back. - Tannai-san.
Mm?
It's about the victim's wife, Sayoko-san.
- And..? - On that night, after nine o'clock
she was seen arguing in the hallway
- with the victim. - Quarrel?
They were seen by a member of staff.
Why are you being like this?
Don't you understand?
I can't take any more!
The wife has been trying to get a divorce for a long time
but he refuses to agree.
Despite all his affairs.
Exactly.
It must've driven her mad.
A wife with a husband who refuses a divorce.
Quarrelled with his wife?
I wonder why Suichi-san wouldn't agreed to get divorced.
Thanks for your hard work.
- Ah, the pest. - The last face I wanted to see.
Hey, what are you doing now.
The nail on the little finger of the left hand grows fastest.
I haven't grown mine long, so if I draw a red heart on it
and then cut it off when it's grown long
then that will make me lucky in love.
- What? You mean? - With Katsuura?
- No way! As if...
My perfect man would definitely be an expert in urban myths.
Is that all?
It'd be a start. See you.
So she's not after Katsuura?
maybe she's not as bad as we thought.
Young women as so simple these days.
Our radio experiment!
If we sit in the same place as Sugai-san at the same time...
what do you think will happen?
Well, perhaps...
We might die?
Which way?
Hm, which way was it?
You don't remember?
I didn't come this way.
When I was here with Forensics, we took the elevator.
Plus, it wasn't as dark.
Maybe this way?
You're right. It'll be this way.
Now I think of it, TV studios are designed to be confusing.
In the event of terrorists attacking
they'll find it difficult to occupy the building.
Really? Is that right?
It was in this neighbourhood that the 47 Ronin committed suicide.
I don't need to know that.
And there's a rumour of the ghost of an actress who killed herself.
Please, no more stories.
You can hear her voice calling from the studio.
Ah! It's her!
No, that's... huh?!
You're Kimura Kaela, aren't you!!!
Amazing! It's really you! Can I shake your hand?
- Okay. - So cute!
- Katsuura, you shake her hand, too! - is that okay?
- Wow, thank you.
- Thank you very much. - No, thank you.
Well, I'll be off.
Bye bye.
"Mamillel", "Mamillel"...
Oh, sorry.
Why didn't we ask her the way to the studio?
Sorry, I got carried away.
Ah, we'll be fine.
- Ah! Look out! - Katsuura, what's wrong?
I saw the lights on the Tokyo Tower go on.
Oh, that? Don't worry.
While inspection work is going on,
the lights will be on until midnight.
Before the urban myth about the lights was well-known.
On days when they had inspections, when it turned midnight,
that was when they turned off the lights.
So that was just the inspection work beginning?
- Yes. - Thank goodness.
So Tokyo Tower isn't angry.
Of course not.
If Tokyo Tower was angry the lights...
Hm?
Tilted?
An urban myth! It's here!
A bit of an over-reaction, Tsukiko-san.
Or maybe it's not.
But it looks a bit slanted...
Huh? Leaning..?
Look, isn't it at an angle?
- Definitely not straight. - Lean..?
Ah!
Katsuura, where are you going? Katsuura!
Wait!
What's up?
I knew it.
- It's her! - It's her!!
What are you two doing here?
Oh.
- Us? Investigating, right? - Investigating.
What's this?
Fools. Men and women.
Sorry for being late.
You wanted to talk?
About my brother.
I wonder how many women saw the lights go out with him from here.
Who knows.
I've never seen the lights go out with someone.
Me neither. Not even once.
Huh?
They won't be going out tonight.
Just for tonight they're doing special maintenence work
so the lights will be on after midnight.
Just for tonight they're doing special maintenence work
so the lights will be on after midnight.
Tannai-san. Shibayama-san.
You don't need to follow the wife any more.
What are you doing? Disrupting police work.
Last night, at midnight at the TV studio, we got lost
but I was able to see, just for a moment,
the Tower leaning over.
Not really. The tower wasn't titled.
Instead it was another piece of evidence that was leaning.
The trophy for your 2009 award is in the staff room.
But when compared to the other four, it is tilted forward.
This bothered me.
But that evening,
Hiroyuki-san and the announcer Tsumura were in the staff room.
But that's not true either.
Tsumura-san was really here,
meeting Sugai-san.
I'll change my ways, so let's try again.
Funny that it was here where you saw it all, Kaori-san.
Thirty minutes after this...
She hadn't returned to the staff room
Hiroyuki-san.
I've seen the video that you cherished so much.
This is...
"Congratulations" "Thank you"
"Thank you very much" "Congratulations"
"I wish you all the best"
"Thank you very much"
"Hiroyuki-san, did you eat lunch today?"
It was a video of only Sayoko-san.
From a long time ago
you've only had eyes for her.
Hiroyuki-san?
But your brother...
I'll change my ways, so let's try again.
Wait, brother. I said wait!
What are you doing?!
If you don't have feelings for your wife, then let her get a divorce.
Sayoko-san told me. That you're stopping the divorce going through.
- I won't get a divorce. - Why not?
So you can't have her.
What?
Why do you think I'm stopping it?
I know it all. You've loved Sayoko for years.
Does she know how you feel?
Why don't I call her now and tell her?
Stop!
While I was seeing other women, you wanted your sister-in-law.
Let's have Sayoko-san decide...
which one of us is the worst.
You hit your brother with all your might.
The impact damaged the trophy
and you were still angry at your brother.
He didn't really notice the scratch marks.
Suichi-san just went to do his job
There in the control room
he died of a brain contusion caused by the blow.
We examined the trophy earlier
and we found traces of your brother's blood.
One day, I wanted
to see the lights go out with you.
You're crazy.
How many times did your brother see the lights go out
and not once did he find eternal love.
Magic won't work for people with evil in their heart.
So you have to atone for your sins
before you see the lights, don't you think?
Sugai-san, let's go.
What? It was Sugai-san?
And he was such a nice guy.
It's not just bad people who commit murders.
Tannai-san, your wife will come back. I'm sure of it.
Well, of course she will!
Today's been a bad day.
It really is pretty, isn't it.
Tomorrow we should go up the Tokyo Tower.
Hmm, but I want to go to the top of the Skytree.
- What are you talking about? Let's go. - Okay.
When did it go out? Just now?
I wasn't looking...
