Galileo 2 (Uso wo tsuku, nazo wo toku / See through the lies, solve crimes / ガリレオ / 嘘を突く 謎を解く)

Acting

A fireworks display is being held at Tokyo Bay tonight.

The Odaiba area is packed with people.

Now, the weather forecast...

Abe-chan.

Were you waiting long?

Not at all.

Thanks for waiting.

You want to change the costume's design?

Komada-san told me that he wanted to make my costume look filthy.

However, according to the script, that doesn't really match your character's image...

It may ruin your gorgeous looks.

I'll be fine.

Instead the play will look more real and the audience may be able to enjoy it more.

I see.

All right, I'll think about it.

But why didn't Komada-san just tell me about the change to the costume?

Indeed...

Excuse me.

It's Komada-san.

He's probably calling to tell you the same thing.

Hello, it's Abe.

Hello?

Hello?

What's wrong?

It's connected, but...

Hello...

Ah, it disconnected.

Off?

The call connected but I couldn't hear his voice.

Ah, I got an incoming call too...

at 7:31 P.M.

Komada Ryosuke

I didn't notice this at all.

Atsuko-chan...

You know about our relationship with him don't you...

Komada-san.

Komada-san!

His keys are here.

Atsuko-chan.

Komada-san.

Abe-chan, call an ambulance!

Since Orikawa isn't here Unocchi should be the leader.

Hey, where's Professor Yukawa?

Amperometer, Parabola...

"The Melancholy and Silence of Camille"

Acting group, Con-Calorosamente.

Never heard of them.

Give it back!

Then, don't leave it lying here!

You haven't heard of Con-Calo?!

Kanbara Atsuko.

Kanbara Atsuko?

She's a pretty famous actress you know.

She's been in some movies too.

But she's not as popular these days.

I've never heard of her.

Who's heard of her?

We have!

What? Really?

If you have no idea, be quiet!

What's wrong with Con-Calo?

Don't tell me there's another case!

Komada Ryosuke-san, a director from this group, was killed.

What?!

What? Haven't you been watching the news?

Well, we've been in here doing research...

And we were too busy writing a report to watch TV.

You scientists need to get out more.

I used to study my law books all night too.

I still managed to watch the news and read books and newspapers though.

You need to be more aware of what's going on in society...

Since when did you start giving lectures here?

Please don't interrupt their experiment.

That's right.

Come on, let's get ready for the experiment!

Yes.

Professor Yukawa.

There's a new case that's too difficult for the police to solve... It's beyond our comprehension.

This time it happened in a locked room.

Komada Ryosuke-san, 35 years old, was stabbed to death by somebody inside his home.

Listen, why don't you leave now?

His dead body was found at 7:50 P.M.

It appears that he was killed 20 minutes before his body was found at around 7:31 P.M.

How do you know that?

Two of the actors from his group got a call from Komada-san at that time.

However, Komada-san didn't say anything during either call.

He didn't say anything?

Or he couldn't say anything...

He called them for help.

Since he was about to die, he couldn't speak.

Most likely.

Komada-san's house is on the 20th floor of a condo.

The entrance door was locked.

And none of the windows can be opened.

It was a completely locked room.

Where was his house key?

It was in his shoe box.

Were there any duplicate keys?

Only one.

One of the performers who found his body had it.

Then, she's definitely a suspect.

The first person to discover a body is usually a suspect.

In fact it was this person... Kanbara Atsuko.

Excuse me.

I've never seen her before.

However she has an alibi.

She received a call from Komada-san at 7:31 P.M. while she was at a café located 4.8 km away from his condo.

And she was with a costume designer from her acting troupe up until the time they found his body.

I see.

That does seem like a locked-room murder incident.

Right!

It's a typical, classical locked-room murder case that has nothing to do with science.

That's right.

The professor isn't going to help you with your investigation.

It's a locked-room case!

The suspect must have escaped through the keyhole.

That's impossible!

That's why I said that this case was beyond our comprehension!

Professor Yukawa.

Kishitani-kun, without fail, there's a cause for every phenomenon!

Please leave...

Galileo Episode 8, Acting

You lied to us, didn't you?

What?

It's about the reason why you had a duplicate key for Komada-san's house.

You told us it was because his place was also used as an office for your acting group.

But the truth is that you had it because you had a personal relationship with him, right?

Did somebody tell you that?

Please tell us the truth.

Yes, I've been in a relationship with him for the last 6 months.

6 months?

Komada-san asked me to be his girlfriend.

Did he say that he liked you?

However, I'm not sure if we were really a couple.

He was a man that I respected as a director.

Then, one could say that there was a difference in the way you felt about each other.

How we felt?

Honestly, he annoyed you didn't he...

Do you suspect me?

No... You have an alibi.

We just need answers to the questions surrounding this case.

Annoying...

Rather...

Rather I should have been honest.

I... liked Komada-san.

Please use this.

Thank you.

May I ask one more thing?

Komada-san also called the costume designer who was with you that night, right?

I can understand why Komada-san would call his girlfriend for help when he was dying, but...

why did he call Abe-san next?

Even though she's a costume designer for his acting group, she rarely talked to him.

I don't know.

Maybe because her name was in his cell phone.

There are tons of names in his cell phone.

Perhaps her name came first on his list...

Ah, first in the list, Abe...

You're right.

He just wanted anyone to save him.

What should I do?

The investigation isn't making any progress at all!

It's already been 5 days since the incident happened.

We haven't confirmed where the knife is from.

And we haven't arrested a suspect either.

Just as Kuribayashi-san said, I'm really just a big punk of a detective!

Shut up!

I'm worried.

Don't do your worrying here!

I have an odd feeling about Kanbara Atsuko.

Kanbara Atsuko?

A popular actor wouldn't commit murder.

"Show me a liar, and I'll show you an actor"

I've never heard that phrase!

Kuribayashi-san.

In the first place, she has an alibi.

You've joined the investigation meeting.

She got a call from the victim who was just about to die, right?

And so did the costume designer.

She was with the woman whose name was at the top of the victim's contact list by coincidence?!

That's just too convenient.

You really want her to be the suspect don't you?

But she was the only person who had a duplicate key!

Kishitani-kun.

Shall we go out and grab a coffee?

Go out?

It's nice occasionally.

Then, I'll go too.

Kuribayashi-san, can you stay here?

We may have a guest.

What?

Let's go.

I'm counting on you.

Why are we here?!

Vending machine.

The vending machine is one of the things that symbolizes the intelligence of human beings.

The oldest known vending machine was installed in an ancient Egyptian shrine in 200 B.C.,

and sold holy water.

It continued to develop as civilization progressed.

And now in 2013, a vending machine in Japan...
