5 hours ago

I'm going.

Arisugawa!

Phantom killer, Apollo is arrested

Are you going to work on Sunday?

Yes. I'm going to meet him.

I never expected that he committed such a terrible crime.

He was a little bit like you when you first came here.

This house has been kept intact for 4 years.

It's no-traffic place.

There're 2 rooms in this basement that we can use.

I ensured an escape route for an emergency too.

Ah, I'm Saga.

Pleased to meet you.

Nobody saw us entering this house.

I put him in another room.

We're moving to the next step.

There's no point staying here any longer.

We'll get this done by tonight.

Criminologist Himura and Mystery Writer Arisugawa

Episode 9, Execution in the basement

He is Himura-sensei, Criminologist.

Does criminologist dissect criminals like biologist vivisect insects?

Yes, but not only criminals,

But also the crime scene, weapons, peripheral characters or criminal's histories.

I put a scalpel into everything.

I see. Then, I'm a valuable research material, right?

Why did you kill them?

Because I wanted to kill somebody.

Do I sound like a psychopathic killer?

Since you had nothing to do with Shangri-La Crusade, why did you target them who were a member of Shangri-La Crusade?

It could have been anybody.

Criminals always say so, right?

Public think that Religious people like them commit a crime eventually.

Therefore, public don't care if those people are murderd, right?

I need them for my beautiful crime.

A beautiful crime?

Yes. I made that happen.

If there's a beautiful crime in the world, I'd like to see it.

Or I want to commit a beautiful crime by myself.

I've thought so too.

Really?

I became criminologist and sought a beautiful crime.

I witnessed a lot of crime scenes and realized,

Listen carefully!

There's no beautiful crime in the world.

There's nothing but nasty, brutal and valueless crimes just like your crime in the world.

That's why I never forgive criminals who commit such crimes.

I keep proving to people like you and me that there's no beautiful crime in the world.

It's my field work.

Your crime isn't beautiful.

Akemi, with your courage and judgement, we could arrest Apollo.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Akemi!

How did you know I'm here?

Sakashita told us.

Are you all right?

Don't act on your own any more!

We were worrying about you.

Sorry.

Ah, Sensei.

Did you talk to him?

Yes.

When I met him, he seemed to be an ordinary high school student.

But he wasn't.

Criminals often pretend like an ordinary people and hide their darkness of mind.

Criminal psychology is mysterious.

They don't want to be arrested.

But without being arrested, they can't offer their presence.

That's why they think of wanting to be arrested somewhere in their heart.

I knew 3 murderers so far by accident.

But I still don't understand why they committed a crime.

Sensei,

please let me be your assistant.

I want to understand the darkness of mind of criminals.

Otherwise, I can't move forward.

I refuse.

I've never thought that I need an assistant other than Alice.

All I need is Alice.

Listen, Kijima.

Not ever do anything dangerous like this.

What?

I worried about you.

I'm sorry.

What on Moroboshi's mind?

I don't worship Moroboshi to kidnap a writer or act like paparazzi.

Just be patient.

We need a charismatic leader, Moroboshi Sanae for our revolution.

I'd give my life for Shangri-La Crusade.

I'll fulfill our revolution at any cost.

When I met him and remembered about you in your young days,

I also remembered a lot more things.

Did you remember when Alice came here for the first time, we had a hot pot dinner?

Yes.

Both of you were very cute.

Tokie, I'd like to have a hot pot dinner tonight.

It's a good idea!

Let's invite Alice!

Moroboshi, it's from Himura.

Hello?

Alice?

Kagome, kagome...

The bird in the cage,

What the hell is going on?

Hey.

Who are you?

Are you up?

What's going on?

I let her know that you're up.

Hey.

Hey, wait!

Who the hell are you?!

You...

Hey, who is that man?

Who is Himura?

What will happen from now?

Why do you care?

Ah...I haven't been told anything.

I see. You don't know anything either.

I don't need to know anything.

All we have to do is just follow her orders.

What do you want me to do for Shangri-La Crusade?

You may get the wrong person.

I have nothing to do with your utopia.

That's right. This kidnap has nothing to do with Shangri-La Crusade.

Then, why did you kidnap me?

My target is Himura Hideo.

Himura?

I knew immediately when I met him.

He should be on my side.

If you want to go out with him, why don't you ask him directly?

He isn't who he is right now.

I want to make him get serious.

Sorry to tell you, but you won't be able to make him pay attention to you.

If I kill Arisugawa Alice?

I'll make him get serious and release a monster inside him.

I want to see his true character.

Alice! Alice!

Do you know where Arisugawa went?

I saw him just past noon.

But it was odd. He suddenly disappeared.

Arisugawa!

Anna, send his picture to Himura.

Certainly.

What? Do I use his cellphone?

Hurry up.

But if the police locate him with GPS...

We get out of here very soon.

Then, how about that writer?

I don't need him any more.

I got it.

Well, how should I write a message?

You...

What?

You have the same smell than I do.

It sounds like a love letter.

I'm sorry.

A love letter...

It may be.

You have the same smell than I do.

Nabeshima, Alice is kidnapped.

Tokie, we may be coming home late tonight.

But I'll bring Alice with me at any cost.

Is anything wrong?

Hey, are you coming to kill me?

I'm not your enemy.

If the worst happens, I'll save you.

Call 911 now.

Please wait a little more.

I came here even though it kills me.

It'll be an hour at the earliest that Himura takes action after reading my message,

and the police locate us with GPS.

We'll get everything done by then.

Onizuka, we'll do an execution.

Certainly.

We'll do an execution.

Certainly.

Why was Alice kidnapped?

As far as I know, Moroboshi's real purpose is to drag me out.

Is it true that Moroboshi is somewhere in Kyoto?

Yes. She sent a message to Himura.

How do you know that this is from Moroboshi?

"You have the same smell than I do" is what she said to me before.

Only I or Nanba knew that.

Inspector Nabeshima, Public Safety Bureau is in charge of this from now on.

Please withdraw from this investigation.

What? Our collaborator was kidnapped in Kyoto.

How could we withdraw without a word?

If their hide-out is in Kyoto, it's a chance of a life time for making wholesale arrests of Shangri-La Crusade.

If we don't handle this situation delicately, we'll lose a big game.

The important thing is his life.

If this is a trap,

your life not to mention his life is in danger.

Don't ruin our efforts.

Those are my words!

Sakashita, what are you doing?

Go now!
