Excuse me.
I'd like to talk to you for a moment.
I'm meeting a friend.
No, really... I need to talk to you.
What about? Will this take more than five minutes?
It'll only take five minutes. But after that ...
What does that mean?
It'll take another six hours.
Sorry, but I'm running late.
Wait!
Fine, I'll tell you while we're walking. Okay?
Go ahead.
You will die in six hours.
What did you say?!
You will die six hours from now.
Though it may be pointless to ask you to believe me.
Obviously.
But ... I can see the future of others.
Then, what about horses?
Horses?
Why don't you try to make money betting on horses?
My friend and I have plans to stay out all night.
It doesn't matter if you meet up with your friend. She won't be able to go out with you.
You're going to be by yourself tonight.
By myself? Is that another prediction?
Yeah.
Looks like you're wrong. That's my friend over there.
Try picking up some other girl instead.
Yoshie.
So, what shall we do tonight?
What's wrong?
Hey, there you are.
Ah, I'm sorry. I haven't introduced you before.
This is my boyfriend.
My bad. I forgot all about the plans we made.
I'm sorry, but can we put things off for tonight?
Yeah ... sure.
Thank you.
How did you know?
How did you know I would be by myself?
Do you know my name?
Harada Mio.
My name is ...
Edogawa Keishi.
That's a peculiar name.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Enjoy.
About what you said before ...
I have visions.
Visions?
I can see the future of strangers.
That's how I saw you.
That's when you saw my death?
You said I would die in six hours?
In the vision, it was midnight according to your watch.
But ... why today? Couldn't it be midnight tomorrow?
Your hairstyle and your clothes ... it was just like they are now.
Umm ... then how am I going to die?
A traffic accident?
You'll be stabbed with a knife.
Sorry.
I'm telling the truth.
I'm not sure where it'll happen.
There's a concrete wall ...
It's somewhere dark and dreary.
I can see you ...
You want to flee ...
Someone is wielding a knife ...
He stabs you in the chest.
At the stroke of midnight.
Who is the culprit?
I don't know.
I could only see the knife in his hand.
Whether you believe me or not, is up to you.
Actually ...
three months ago ...
someone I knew ...
"Mio, did you hear?"
"Marie was killed."
"What? Marie was ... ?"
Her murderer has not been captured yet.
Edogawa-san, was it?
You can call me Keishi.
It's not that I don't believe your prediction but ...
will your prediction come true for sure? Furthermore, can the future be altered?
Even I'm not sure about that.
You're not?
Although, if I were in your position, I would search for the person that is trying to kill me.
Before midnight tonight.
Do you have an idea who it could be?
Tomorrow is my birthday.
Your birthday?
At midnight tonight, I'll be 25.
Though I don't have a boyfriend to celebrate with.
About what you said before, do you have someone that you suspect?
There's a stalker. Although I don't know who it is.
What is it?
What sort of work do you do, Keishi?
I failed the entrance exams. For graduate school.
I didn't expect you to be an intellectual.
I'm not.
I want to conduct research into the strange ability that I possess.
Can you see all sorts of things concerning someone's future?
No.
I can only see the extraordinary.
The extraordinary?
Things that would not usually happen.
A crime or an accident.
Unexpected incidents come into view.
Keishi, can you wait here?
A police station?
There's a detective whom I consulted about the stalker.
I'll be right back.
Sawaki-san.
Hey, it's been awhile, hasn't it?
I considered calling you.
What for?
I was wondering how you've been.
I've come regarding the matter about the stalker.
I see. Your mail is still being pilfered?
Yes. Prank calls too.
Really ...
Were you able to find out anything about this man named Numata?
Only his address and phone number.
That's all?
The police can't do much without any proof.
What if, he said he was going to kill me tonight, the police won't protect me without any proof?
Unfortunately ...
that seems to be the case.
Here, this is Numata's contact information.
It's supposed to be confidential, but it's the least I can do for you.
Thank you.
I have one more question.
There was a case about three months ago ...
The one about the random killing?
Has there been progress in that case?
It's not one of our cases, but would you like me to ask about it?
Could you please.
But, why?
It's just ... even if I told you, you probably wouldn't believe me.
Well, thank you.
I'll contact you again.
Sure, anytime.
Special investigation task force for the random serial killings
Tadashi, do you have a minute?
Sure.
The sign says "random serial killings". There's more than one victim?
The situation has changed.
There are some similarities between this one and the case with the other victim.
Similarities?
Yeah.
Like what?
First of all, the victims were both young women.
{shad2\bord2\pos(475,69)\fad(0,200)}Victim's name: Fujii Takako Age: 24 Occupation: Unemployed.
{shad2\bord2\pos(475,69)\fad(0,200)}Victim's name: Miyashita Kumi Age: 22 Occupation: Domestic help
And they were both followed by an unidentified stalker.
Also, both of the victims were killed on their birthday.
On their birthdays?
That's right.
The time of death was about midnight, too.
Meaning, they were killed the moment it became their birthday.
It appears that the criminal is a weirdo fixated with womens' birthdays.
And we know one other strange thing.
Just before they died, both victims met a man who predicted their deaths.
Predicted?
It's difficult to believe but several eyewitnesses told us that.
That means that the seer's prediction was spot on?
That's correct.
We're looking into this man's identity. We should have news by tonight.
Did you find out anything?
I got the contact information for a man named Numata.
Why do you think that person is the stalker?
Just a hunch.
I may not have the ability to predict things, but I have a woman's intuition.
Is he an old boyfriend or something?
That's not it!
I'm sorry for raising my voice.
The truth is, I've had 20 boyfriends.
Back then, my name was Sayaka, not Mio.
Can you see that building?
I worked on the fifth floor.
Hello, you've reached the Angel Club.
Lonely men without girlfriends would call.
- Sayaka-chan? - Yes.
Have a good time.
- Thanks. - Good luck.
I just needed to keep them company for 2 hours
and then it was over.
We'd go out to eat, and they'd buy me clothes.
But I also met troublesome customers.
His name was Numata-san.
Is there somewhere you'd like to go?
Anywhere is fine.
Excuse me, could I speak to Sayaka-chan, please?
He didn't seem happy at all, but he asked to see me repeatedly.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
So I boldly asked him about it.
Why do you always request to see me, Numata-san?
Because you seem to understand me, even if I remain silent.
What happened to this, Numata-san?
All of a sudden, we stopped seeing each other.
The owner of the establishment ...
Yukarin-chan?
Yes.
was peddling underaged girls and was arrested by the police.
I was even questioned by the police
by the detective I met with earlier.
I thought it was over with Numata-san at that time.
After the business was shut down
the stalking began almost immediately.
Hello?
I know where you are at this moment.
Don't you find it lonely being by yourself?
Should I come meet with you?
That's why I suspect it may be Numata.
It makes sense.
There's one more thing.
Marie, the girl who was killed three months back worked at the same place.
I think these things are probably all related.
What kind of person was this Marie-san?
Umm ... I'm not really sure. We didn't get along.
Maybe we repelled each other because we were alike.
Alike?
We both came to Tokyo straight out of high school from our hometowns, hoping to make something of ourselves ...
but we're both girls who can't really do anything.
There are plenty of girls like that, but I thought I was different from the rest.
I believed that my future ...
had something special in store for me.
What did you think about my story?
I think Numata-san might be involved also.
I didn't mean that part.
I meant the sort of work I was involved in.
Does it really matter?
It's not like you were causing trouble for others.
I ...
I always did that to make excuses for myself.
Are we going to look for some evidence?
If Numata-san is indeed the stalker, he should be in possession of mail addressed to my house.
If we can find some evidence, the police will help.
Can I help you?
You're looking for Numata?
Yes.
Could it be that he's moved out?
That's right. I'm helping him.
Did he dispose of all of his belongings?
Yeah, the unwanted items.
Where is Numata-san right now?
You didn't hear?
He went back home to the island he was from.
When did he leave?
A little while ago. He's leaving by bus tonight.
What time and where is that bus departing?
At 9:30, departing from Shinjuku.
Thank you very much.
He's going back to his parents' home?
Could he be creating an alibi?
He tells the people he knows that he's going back home, but then remains in Tokyo later that night.
How do we check that out?
By going to Shinjuku and waiting for him. Then we'll know if he's really going back to his hometown.
What's wrong?
A vision ...
What do you see?
An older ...
woman.
It's an elderly woman.
She's in the light.
Lying on a hospital bed ...
She is surrounded by people.
It's her family.
Who is this elderly woman?
I don't know.
But the woman resembled you in some way.
I definitely resemble my grandmother, though ...
"This is the Harada residence. Please leave a message after the tone."
Hello, it's Mio. Please call me back when you get this message.
You think something will happen to my grandmother?
I don't know.
Come on.
My hometown is in Kofu. It's far, but we can still make it in time.
I can go home and check on my grandmother, then if I can make it back for my 25th birthday ...
I can't let you do that.
Why not?
We don't know where you'll meet with harm.
If we go near your family's home, they may get entangled in the matter.
Are you saying that I may not be the only one who is killed?
I'm saying that possibility exists.
I understand.
We should proceed to Shinjuku as planned, right?
Then, when are you going to say farewell?
Farewell?
If you stay with me, something may happen to you, too.
I'm going to stay with you the entire time.
Until it's time for your birthday.
Sawaki.
Oh, did you find out the identity of the seer?
No, not yet.
However, I have found another common link between the two victims.
They were both working at the same date club.
Date club?
More accurately, it's an escort club.
Anyhow, he's targeting and killing those working indecent part-time jobs.
Well, I guess you reap what you sow.
Hey, are you saying that they deserved to be killed?
Also, that club was called the Angel Club.
It's the club you guys shut down.
The culprit must have been a regular customer at that club.
I still have the customers' particulars.
But,
there's one thing I don't understand.
If the stalker was the killer, he would know the victims' addresses and phone numbers.
Do you think the girls at the club would reveal such personal information to their customers?
That's definitely strange.
The only ones who knew were those at the club, but the owner has been arrested.
Do you have any thoughts?
Could it be that seer? Only the murderer would know of the crime beforehand.
That's just what I thought.
We're working to uncover the seer's identity.
We should know his true identity soon.
Do you see him?
It doesn't look like he's shown up yet.
Can I ask you a question?
What is it?
Numata-san only requested to go out with you, right?
That's right.
Then, how is Marie connected to all this?
You mean Numata-san has nothing to do with this?
There he is!
Sayaka-chan?
It's Numata. Do you remember me?
Oh yes, Numata-san.
Are you on a date?
Yeah.
I'm sorry to interrupt.
What about you?
I'm going back to my hometown.
Nothing good has happened since coming to Tokyo.
That's why I'm going back home.
Bye.
Wait a minute.
Could I ask you one last thing?
Why did you only request to see me during that time?
Don't worry about this person, he knows all about the type of work I did.
I had the sense you could understand how I felt.
The pain of not having my efforts pay off ...
I had fun, even though our date was short-lived.
Thank you.
There goes our potential suspect.
Why did I suspect Numata-san?
Why couldn't I understand how he felt?
Because you're alike,
that's why you repelled each other.
You ...
Numata-san ...
and Marie ... all of you.
Maybe you're right.
Tokyo is a place where you feel lonelier the more people there are.
Even if you think you're the only one who's different,
you'll be engulfed by that loneliness before you know it.
Your friends become enemies just because you forget to reply to their messages.
It may sound like I'm finding a good excuse for myself but,
I think I did that sort of work because I wanted to connect with someone.
That I wasn't a neglected person left to wallow in loneliness ...
I wanted someone's acknowledgment.
Will I die in the next two hours?
Alone ... stabbed by a knife, just like you predicted ...
At times like this, you should only think of the positive.
Suppose you make it until your birthday, what do you want to do afterward?
What about your dreams for the future?
Dreams?
I want to live in a small house.
A small house with a large family.
That's always been my childhood dream.
Hello, mom?
Mio? Sorry to call so late.
It's raining here. I went to pick up your father.
Is everyone okay?
Yes. How are you doing?
Tomorrow is your birthday, right? It's a bit early but, happy birthday.
Thank you.
When can you come home to visit? Everyone misses you.
I promise to come home soon.
When I turn 25, I promise to come see everyone.
Okay. What is it you called about?
Oh, it was about grandma, has her condition changed?
Your grandmother? Your grandmother is in good spirits.
The results of her health check-up came out today. There's nothing abnormal.
Is that true?
Of course it's true.
Mio?
Oh. I see.
Come home soon.
Bye.
Your grandmother's okay?
Yes.
There's something I realized.
If someone is targeting you, and intends to attack you at midnight, how will he determine your location?
Meaning?
Perhaps someone's been following us all along.
Someone in this area?
Let's try to confirm this.
Someone's following us.
We have to shake him.
How?
Let's run.
Headquarters, can you hear me?
I've lost him. The seer shook me off.
What's wrong?
We put a tail on this alleged seer, but he got away.
You know his identity?
Yes. But he's using an alias so it required some effort to ascertain.
Wait a minute, if you weren't able to ascertain his identity, how could you have him tailed?
That's the strange thing. He was in front of our station this evening.
This is a picture of the seer obtained from a friend of the victim.
His real name is Yamaha Keishi, but when he's posing as this seer he goes by the name of Edogawa.
Someone from the division happened to see a person resembling him outside the station.
Until we ascertain that Edogawa and Yamaha are the same person, we'll continue tailing him.
It seems that this fellow was with a woman.
A woman?
What time was he standing outside the station?
Around 7:00.
Can you tell me about this person, Yamaha Keishi?
We're safe now.
But there's still 1 hour remaining.
If your vision is correct, that person just now will appear again in an hour?
I'm not sure, but that's possible.
Do you happen to know that person?
No.
Wait a minute.
Hello, Mio?
I have a question to ask.
Was there a gloomy sort of man in his thirties that was a customer at the club?
Yeah, like half of the customers we had fit that profile.
Why, are you looking for that stalker?
Yeah.
If that's the case you should look for someone else. The customers we had couldn't be the stalker.
Why?
Your actual phone number ... wait, don't tell me you gave out your real number to your customers?
Then, they must have searched for it through some other means.
Without even knowing your real name?
After all, you were Sayaka-chan, and I was Ayumi-chan.
Then, who could it be?
Are you okay?
Yoshie, do you have anything for protection, like pepper spray?
You need it right now?
Yeah.
Hmm, let's see ... I have a friend who's a military geek, I'll introduce you to him.
Keishi, can you wait for me here?
Why?
See if we've been followed.
Alright.
Yes?
Are you Mutto-san?
You're Yoshie's friend?
Come in.
Umm ... can I just wait here for it?
I wouldn't make a move on non-combatants.
Hello?
It's Sawaki.
Is there a man who claims to be a seer near you right now?
How do you know that?
If there is, I want you to behave normally and listen to me.
The man who was following you earlier is a detective from our station.
What?
He was tailing an important suspect.
We think the criminal behind two random killings is the self-proclaimed Edogawa Keishi, real name Yamaha Keishi.
He claims to be a seer but is lying.
He's stabbed two girls to death on their birthdays.
But, do you have any proof?
Only the murderer would know of the crime beforehand.
Furthermore, he has a connection to the first victim.
To Marie?
Yes, Yamaha Keishi was her boyfriend.
He probably learned that his girlfriend was working at an escort club and flew off the handle.
Then directed that outrage toward other women.
The reason he's with you now is because he's waiting to kill you on your birthday.
Can you give me a moment to think this through?
Hello?
Is it okay to finish our conversation?
Yes.
There's one thing I'd like for you to do.
You took a long time.
There's nothing unusual out here.
What should we do?
I'll await my birthday ...
with you.
Are we going to wait here until midnight?
Yes.
Is your real name Edogawa Keishi?
It's okay if it's not. I went by Sayaka, after all.
My real name is Yamaha Keishi.
That's a nice name.
Edgar Cayce is the name of a famous psychic.
But why must you use an alias?
If I predict a murder, it'll certainly cause suspicion.
Does that mean that you made such a prediction before?
three months ago ...
I let my girlfriend die.
I knew Takako was going to die,
but I couldn't do anything about it.
Takako?
You knew her as Marie.
Then, at her funeral, I discovered there was another person that was destined to be murdered.
I told her about my prediction.
But she thought I was trying to strike up a conversation with her.
And that person died too.
The visions will become reality. They will come true.
That's not true.
The future can be changed by using our own willpower.
It's useless. It can no longer be stopped.
The person who remembers the smell of blood, is searching for his next prey.
That's why I've been searching for the women who belonged to the same club as Takako
in order to find the person destined to be killed.
Are you saying that's me?
Yes.
It's almost time. Your birthday is nearly here.
Don't move!
Throw down the knife and put your hands up!
We arranged for a police decoy to lure you here.
Do as I said! If you don't, I'll shot!
That was a close call.
Now, you'll be okay.
You can enjoy your birthday now, right?
Sayaka-chan.
What is that?
Can't you see? It's a knife.
This is my birthday present to you.
I have bad memories of the birthdays of young women.
That woman spent her precious birthday with another man ...
This fraud!
That's why I killed her.
Are you talking about Marie?
I exposed the club.
I did everything to make her mine alone.
But she trampled over my feelings.
Though she was happy on our dates.
Why wouldn't she do as I said?!
It'll be your birthday soon.
It hurts ...
- Are you okay? - Yeah, I think so.
How did you know this detective was the murderer?
I realized that the person who knew the personal information of all the girls in the club ...
could only be the detective who interrogated us.
The person named Numata ...
He intended to kill me tonight. But when he learned of the existence of a seer, he altered his plan a little.
He wanted to kill me and pin the crime on you.
But I figured that out.
He instructed me to go to a place that matched your vision exactly.
The person who would tell me to go to that place at midnight is probably the criminal.
I've avenged my girlfriend with this.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
I'm so glad I believed you.
Which way are you going?
I'm going this way.
I'm glad I met you.
It's about my girlfriend.
Takako-san?
I found out she had worked in an escort club after she was killed.
And then I blamed her.
I don't think I would've ever understood how she struggled with life if I hadn't met you.
Thank you so much.
Keishi, what are you going to do now?
If you'd like ...
- in the future ... - I'll get you a taxi. I'll wait for the first train.
Is that your answer?
Yeah.
I understand.
What are you going to do now?
I'm not sure.
But if I work hard, the future can be changed.
Thank you for celebrating my birthday with me.
I enjoyed it.
So did I.
Bye.
You will die in sixty years.
Although, I won't be able to be there with you.
A small house with a large family.
That's always been my childhood dream.
That dream will surely come true.
Could you tell us your dream for the future?
It may be impossible but I would like to be a scriptwriter.
What is your dream for the future?
Let's see ... to find true love.
My dream ...?
I think I would like to become a professional dancer.
What is your dream?
I met someone a year ago. I would like to meet up with him again.
Do you think you can meet?
I wonder. But right now, I'm working someplace where all sorts of people come together.
Perhaps I can reconnect with that person again.
I Will Die In 3 Hours
And now, our briefing will begin.
Today's party will be to celebrate the retirement of Professor Todo Shigeki-sama from Teito University.
The other guest of honor will be his wife, Tsutako-sama.
The party's coordinator is the university's lecturer Tezuka Yusuke-sama.
The wine to be presented to the guest of honor will be brought by the coordinator.
The rest is as written in the schedule.
One more thing,
The contractor will send four workers here to do some repair work.
Please make sure they do not disturb our guests.
Are there any questions?
Thank you all for your cooperation.
Thank you.
Yamaha ... Yamaha Keishi ...
Yamaha, are you making progress on your thesis?
Well, yes.
It's regarding Jung's synchronicity?
Interpretation of precognitive dreams?
Regarding this ... if precognition is possible, won't peoples' destinies be determined beforehand?
That's right.
Then, no one can change a predetermined fate?
That's if this thing called precognition exists.
But if you say something like that, you'll be cast out from academic circles.
Nevermind that, I have a favor to ask.
Are you free this afternoon?
We're from Muranaka Engineering.
- You're here to do the repairs? - That's right.
Please take the stairs outside so our guests do not see you.
Thank you for your help today. I'm Tezuka, the coordinator.
Welcome, sir. Can we take your bags?
- Are there any expensive or fragile items? - Yes.
I'll just take this one with me.
We'll have someone to take care of your belongings. Please proceed to the second floor.
Thank you.
- It's about time to put out the sign. - Okay.
Excuse me, Professor Todo's party ...
It's been a long time.
How have you been?
What have you been doing since the last time?
I've been ... well you can see.
You've been working hard?
It's not a life I can be proud of but I'm living.
The same is true for me.
What have you been doing since then?
I'm attending graduate school now.
You're living your dream then.
Yes.
This way please.
Welcome.
Are you here to attend Professor Todo's party today?
Umm, actually I'm attending in place of someone who couldn't make it.
Hori-sama ...
Professor Hori, is that right? I'll note that.
I'll register your name if it's alright with you.
Yamaha-sama?
Your vision ...
in your vision ...
I ...
You will ...?
I will ...
die.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry.
I'll feel better after some rest.
- Things downstairs are fine. You can standby at the hall. - Yes, sir.
Are you really okay?
Yes.
So what did you see earlier?
I think it was a fire.
A fire?
You'll be saved but,
I'll be burned to death.
I apparently have no way of knowing my own future.
That's why I saw my death within your vision.
Where will this fire happen?
Near the entrance of the reception hall.
It will occur at 3:03.
Three hours from now?
But that's strange. There's nothing flammable in the hall.
What about cigarettes?
It has to be stubbed out before being thrown. There's a sprinkler system too.
But my visions are never wrong.
In three hours,
I will die.
In that case, why don't you just go outside?
You'll be alright as long as you're not here at 3:03, won't you?
I don't think that's possible.
I have to stay at the reception hall.
A person can't change the course of destiny.
Destiny can be changed.
Didn't you save my life one year ago?
That's not correct.
That vision did come true.
What do you mean?
What I saw was you being stabbed in the chest with a knife.
Though I wanted to do something to prevent it,
in the end, you were stabbed just as I had seen in the vision.
The vision was accurate.
You're saying that everything was predestined?
Even the part where I was saved.
Yes.
There's one more thing.
Do you remember the vision of the old woman?
The woman had a scar on her left hand.
That was a glimpse of you some decades later.
In other words, that vision was a premonition that you would survive.
You will live a long life.
Then my health issues are settled. Now it's your turn.
Stand up.
If you remain outside, the problem will be solved.
Keishi?
About the vision of the elderly woman. You said her family was in it, her husband too.
Yes.
Were you ...
in it?
You weren't.
Oh my God ...
We have to stop the party.
Why?
Everyone here will die.
Everyone?
What happens here isn't a fire.
It's an explosion.
An explosion?
The explosion will occur right there.
You'll be saved because of the wall.
I'll be caught in the blast because I've no such protection.
We're sorry to keep you waiting. You may now proceed into the hall.
Reception desk?
Excuse me?
Just a moment please.
Excuse me, are there any gas pipes that run through the corridor of the second floor?
No, it's only in the kitchen and pantry.
It seems that there aren't any.
Thank you.
It seems there's nothing that would cause an explosion.
Let's talk over there.
What should we do?
We have to locate the source of the explosion.
I'll stay here.
I'll go into the reception hall. I may learn something from looking at the visions of each person.
But, isn't it better if you leave this place?
I can't abandon those people who are destined to die.
Although I don't have the confidence to alter their futures.
You surely can alter their futures.
But, will you promise me one thing?
If you still don't know the source of the explosion 5 minutes before it occurs, promise me you will leave.
Okay?
Are you okay?
Did you find out anything?
I saw about half of them, but I didn't learn anything.
Would you like something to drink?
I know the exact time the explosion will occur.
3:03 and 10 seconds.
3:03 and 10 seconds?
There's less than two hours remaining.
Congratulations.
The party is about to start.
Let's synchronize our watches.
Now, let me announce the start of the retirement party for Dr. Todo Shigeki of Teito University's Department of Science and Engineering.
Who are the people that are gathered here?
Most of them have links to the university.
What's his field of specialization?
Applied chemistry.
Wouldn't a student of applied chemistry be able to make a bomb?
Someone would build a bomb?
There's nothing in the corridor. There won't be an explosion unless someone brings a bomb.
But why?
Could it be someone related to Professor Todo?
Can you see his future?
The Professor's wife will be saved.
She will collapse during the course of the party, and be taken to a hospital.
She won't be present when the explosion happens.
The coordinator, Tezuka-san will be standing near you when the explosion happens.
Near me?
He's the person that will rescue you.
Also, there's something strange about the Professor's future.
He's holding a tiny capsule, and saying something to everyone.
Could that capsule be the explosive?
No.
It's too small.
The professor will get caught in the explosion after that.
The explosion occurs during the final speech by the guest of honor.
Could the perpetrator be targeting that time?
Now, let's make a toast.
Cheers!
What about that person?
There's a bag near his feet.
That person has a gun.
He's pointing it at someone.
Who is he?
I'll find out.
Wait.
Sir, would you like something to drink.
No thanks.
I'll take this bag and check it in at the cloakroom ...
You're an employee here?
Yes.
I'm Matsuzaka.
I can't drink while on duty.
You're on an assignment?
I'm Professor Todo's bodyguard.
Do you know what this is?
A bulletproof vest.
Oh, excuse me. I've seen one before.
But, why do you have this with you?
An accident once took place in the professor's research laboratory during an experiment.
Three students died.
The professor wasn't held responsible but someone set fire to his house last month.
This was ...
a threat that was sent to him.
[ Cancel the retirement party, or bear responsibility for the outcome. ]
We investigated the families of the three dead students regarding the fire, but they all have alibis.
Thus, we believe they could have put someone else up to it.
However, the professor is reluctant to wear a bulletproof vest.
If you see any suspicious persons in the hall, please tell me.
Like the families of the dead students?
None of them are here.
That detective will probably discover who the bomber is by 3:03.
But it will be too late.
What will happen to those children?
They'll be near the entrance and won't make it.
Here.
Thank you!
I'll tell you something good.
When the party is about to end, go and stand over there with your mom and dad.
How come?
You'll get a present.
What kind of present?
The future ...
it's a precious thing.
Okay? Will you do that?
Okay!
Let's talk.
Do you intend to speak to them one by one?
What if we end the party quickly, and get everyone out of the reception hall before 3:03.
I was considering that too.
But?
We can do that but everything is interwoven with fate.
It's the same as one year ago.
You mean that no matter what we do, the outcome will be the same?
Probably.
I think every person here is ruled by fate.
They're all moving toward an explosion.
I don't believe that.
Yes. Thank you, thank you.
Tezuka-sama?
Is it possible to bring the last speech forward by about 5 minutes?
Is it due to security concerns?
Is it what the detective said?
Yes.
Well, I would like to do that too but ...
The reception will go as planned.
There is no reason to change.
Professor Todo.
It is also our wish that this party will progress without any problems, that's why ...
What are you all so worried about?
Besides, whatever may happen is destiny.
We have to accept it.
Destiny?
No one can change what is destined to be.
Is that so?
There are also destinies that can be changed.
Don't make such absurd statements.
Last year, three students died in my research laboratory.
All we can do is accept it,
and trust that what happened was meant to be.
What if destiny could be altered, does that mean that they were not meant to die?
What should I do to apologize for the students that died?
I believe it was destined to be.
No, their deaths were meant to be.
Excuse me. Professor, let's get started.
I think there may be a way to alter the course of destiny before the explosion can occur.
If the Professor's wife does not collapse, perhaps destiny can be altered.
Everyone, I would like to move on to the next part of the scheduled program.
We will be presenting the Professor, a connoisseur of fine wines with a present.
This French Bordeaux wine, '62 Chateau Margaux.
What are we going to do now?
There's only one thing left we can do. Find the person directly responsible.
How do we do that?
Find them through my visions.
Someone in here is responsible for the explosion that will occur at 3:03 and 10 seconds.
You search for anyone that may have a large bag with them.
Okay.
- Is everything going well? - Yes.
We will have everyone in attendance once three other guests arrive.
I have a favor to ask. Could you let me know if a guest comes to retrieve a coat or bag?
- I can do that. - On channel eight.
Okay.
Only 59 minutes left.
I didn't find anything.
Did you check the other floors?
All of the other reception halls, too. What about you?
I didn't see anyone with a bomb or anything like that in my visions.
No one?
If we can't find the perpetrator or a device, how can the explosion occur?
Could it be, that destiny has changed?
I want to save everyone, but my visions have not been wrong even once.
But if that's the case, you're going to die too!
I ...
believe that a person's destiny can be changed.
For instance, this job that I've just started, I accepted it because I wanted to see you again.
I thought that if I worked someplace where many people came, I might meet up with you again someday.
That's how we were reunited like this.
Also, I found myself a job I enjoy.
When I see the happy faces of our guests, I also feel good inside.
One year ago, I couldn't imagine such a wonderful future for myself.
But if things are predetermined by fate, why does a person have a heart inside?
Can't a person change their future if they work hard?
I understand.
It's an emergency.
Let's go.
Water!
Destiny hasn't been altered.
However, there's still something we can do.
The explosion will happen here.
If we wait here until 3:03 pm, the culprit will certainly appear.
Isn't that dangerous?
It's the only way.
Wait.
I had completely forgotten! There are people we haven't checked out.
Who?
There are four maintenance workers here doing repairs.
Could one of them be the one?
Examine them through your visions.
I got it.
Are you going to use those stairs?
The paint hasn't dried. If you're going down, please use the stairs inside.
It's okay. I just came to check on your progress.
We'll be finished in time.
I understand. Where are the others?
Over there.
Thank you.
Well?
It's not those two. When the explosion occurs, they're still outside.
There's only two people left.
Excuse me.
How's your progress?
We're working on it right now.
We'll be finished by 3:00.
Please, proceed.
Were you able to see anything?
Darkness?
You weren't able to see anything?
No, I did.
For some reason, only for those two, everything was pitch black..
Even if you asked me, I have no idea why that is.
What should we do? We don't have any proof, but should we tell the detective?
But those two aren't responsible.
But if you say that, there won't be any suspects.
Who could it be?
This is the reception desk. The ambulance has arrived.
Come on.
Thank you for your assistance. I'll leave the rest to you.
Tezuka-sama.
How is her condition?
Oh. It seems she'll be okay. She's had a fever since morning.
What about the Professor?
He's in the reception hall. As the guest of honor, he has to make the final speech.
This party still has 20 minutes remaining.
Wait!
Please, could you end this party immediately?
Why?
You've heard about the threats, haven't you?
Yes.
If something happens ...
Everything will be fine.
Nothing is going to happen.
Now, I must attend to the Professor.
I don't think what we've done so far has been a waste.
There is no bomb or bomber in this building.
In other words, the culprit is one of the guests that hasn't shown up yet.
The names of the three students that died?
Yes, could you please tell me their names?
Uno, Kawashima, Takita.
Thank you very much.
- Reception desk, can you hear me? - Yes.
Do you know the names of the three guests who have yet to arrive?
Uno-sama, Kawashima-sama and Takita-sama.
It's the family members of the deceased.
The ones that hold a grudge against the professor are coming.
If one of them shows up, we have to keep them on the first floor.
We can't let them come near the reception hall.
Could you inform me when they arrive?
Reception desk, please respond.
Excuse me, Takita-sama just arrived.
Takita-san is here.
She's checked in at the front desk and is headed your way.
She's coming this way.
We have to stop her!
- First, check her belongings. - Right.
This is the end of the line.
She's not the one.
She will be on the first floor during the explosion.
But why would a family member be here?
Nevermind that, the time ...
Haven't we done all we can?
You mean you're giving up?
I think the situation is hopeless.
Is feeling that way going to help?
There's still time.
Another eight minutes.
Leave this place in three minutes.
You promised to go outside five minutes before the explosion occurs.
What are you going to do?
I'm going to stay until the last moment.
I'll keep an eye on the corridor.
Then I'll stay here too.
You can't! If you stay here you may die!
There's something I need to tell you right now.
What is it?
Your future.
In the vision of the old woman, your husband is there too.
His face very is familiar, so I recognized him right away.
The man you share a life with, is that man over there.
Eh?
I think ...
what probably happens is that the two of you
are brought together by the experience of this incident.
After that, the two of you
will grow old together ...
and have a large family.
Your children,
your grandchildren,
will be healthy and become fine people.
You'll live a long life and be able to watch over the future of your family.
That's what my life will become?
There's nothing to fear about the future.
A small house with a large family.
If destiny isn't altered right now, your dream will come true.
But the one I want to be with is ...
Me too ...
Seeing your future happiness
makes me happy.
But, everyone here will have to be sacrificed for that dream to come true!
That's not true!
You did everything you could to help them.
This was all destined to happen.
I'm not going to let you die.
I will alter my own destiny!
Mio.
Is everyone enjoying themselves?
Did everyone have a good time today?
The professor will now say a few words to wrap up this party.
Professor, please step forward to the microphone.
Just four more minutes ...
Keishi, hurry, get out of here!
I'm going to make sure that my vision is realized.
Your dream will come true!
Keishi!
Please, step back!
Everyone, step back!
You, stay right there!
Professor, please step toward the microphone.
Stay over there!
But ...
I have this.
Everyone, there is something I must say.
At the end of my long tenure of scientific research ...
I did something truly unforgivable.
Because of it, three promising students lost their lives.
And now, I wish to make amends for my actions.
Professor!
What do you intend to do ?
This capsule is potassium cyanide.
Commonly referred to as potassium chlorate.
Stay back!
I wish to make amends by taking my own life.
Please, do not try to stop me.
One more thing.
Tezuka-kun.
When did you realize this?
When?
When the potassium cyanide in the research lab disappeared,
then you invited the families of the deceased to come here.
The fire at your residence was probably your own doing ...
At that time I was unable to take my own life.
Does that mean you sent those threatening letters?
Yes.
The only way to save you was to have this party cancelled.
Everyone in attendance here today fully understands how you feel.
Please, put the capsule away.
No. I am overcome with remorse.
Professor!
This is all destined to be.
Don't move!
Professor!
Discard that capsule please!
And if I don't, what will you do?
I'll shoot you in the leg.
In order to save you, this is the only way.
Don't interfere!
I'm not bluffing!
It's destiny.
Acetylene gas
Don't come any closer!
Keishi, the bulletproof vest!
Destiny has been altered.
Don't move! Please, don't anyone move!
The gas is leaking.
Even static electricity can ignite the gas and cause an explosion!
Stop, you'll cause an explosion!
Is anyone smoking?
Mio.
The leak has been stopped. Please let the air circulate.
Open the doors and windows!
Excuse me please!
Professor, everything is fine.
I'm sorry that I had to do that.
It was the only way.
Professor! Professor, are you okay?!
Professor! Hang in there!
Are you okay?! Professor!
Please, Professor! Hang on!
This is the second time I stopped a bullet.
Thank you.
Because of you,
I didn't die.
It's my job ...
to ensure the safety of our guests.
I'm so relieved.
The emergency is over. We'll check the fire fighting readiness.
Roger.
Please tell me the circumstances of what happened tomorrow.
Sure.
Good work!
Your outcome was the right one after all.
It's the result of hope.
A person's destiny can be altered after all.
Our destiny should be altered too.
You're right.
Keishi, what are you going to do now?
If you would like, will you be with me from now on ... ?
Thank you very much for your help today.
How was your statement to the police?
Well, the detective made a statement on my behalf and the matter will be straightened out.
What about Professor Todo?
Oh, the hospital will be looking after him and his psychological treatment.
If you'll excuse me,
it's been a long day.
Tezuka-san?
Thank you very much.
Did I do something?
I'm glad to have met you.
Oh.
So am I.
Goodbye.
Is it okay like this?
So ... Keishi? What about what I just asked you?
Did you see something?
Yes.
I'll be fine. I realize that it isn't easy to live life.
Will you really be okay?
As long as I'm with you.
I understand.
Will you look after me from this day forward?
Things will turn out okay for that man.
Really?
The future can be changed.
Right.
