Nightmare Detective (悪夢探偵)

I figured it out.

Oh, what was it?

The hair on the wall belongs to your daughter.

What? I don't have a daughter.

Well, it's the one you never had.

Your wife had an abortion before your children were born.

Just a moment. Is that right?

She did.

That's right.

I'm glad I asked you.

Thank you very much.

I'll stay with her in my dream.

But, sir, that'll get me in trouble.

You consulted me to find out the cause of your nightmares

and to get rid of them.

Your family is concerned about you.

They are not concerned about me!

There's no way I'm going back to my family!

I'm staying with her.

I spoke with your daughter.

I asked her not to appear in your dreams.

You know that if you stay in your dreams for too long

you'll be catatonic when you wake up.

What did she say to you?

Did she agree with you?

Of course not!

She wouldn't have.

You know why she appears in my dreams?

She is worried about me because my family is horrible!

She is on daddy's side even though she was never born.

Your family feud is none of my concern.

I didn't want to come into your dream.

I only did it because you were my father's teacher.

If you died in the real world, I would be stuck here with you.

Please come back with me.

Thank you for all your effort. You've done very well.

Thanks, nightmare detective.

Go ahead and leave.

Or won't you be able to go back?

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Pronounced dead at 5:40 AM.

Dead? What do you mean dead?

I asked you to save him, not to let him die!

Look, I only let you stick around because Dad wouldn't let you go.

You screwed up.

What did he say in his dream?

Did he say who'd inherit his money?

Who's going to believe a will drawn up in a dream?

How can you go into his dreams anyway?

I want you to leave now.

Here's your fee.

I can't take that.

Get dressed or you'll catch a cold. Thanks for coming.

Off you go!

Good. I don't have to take care of him anymore.

- Dreams? - Nonsense!

Shameless man.

Who will get your money?

I hate this.

I really hate it.

I hate it.

Hello?

I don't see any point in living anymore.

- I want to die, right now. - Life is pointless.

- I've always wanted to die. - I've done so much for my family.

I don't know why I should live anymore.

I'll end the pain.

I'm thinking of killing myself.

I just want to disappear.

Life's scary.

Really?

Will you really die with me?

What? Me?

I'm very close to my place.

Of course I do. Yes, I have a pair of scissors.

What, right here?

You said we'd die together.

How do I know that you'll really kill yourself?

You might just pretend and scream.

If I kill myself and you don't, I'll look like a fool.

Why don't you kill yourself first?

When I am really sure, then I will follow you.

Hey.

Tell me.

What?

Where do we go when we die?

Umm.

Does everything just end just like that?

I don't know.

Maybe there is a re-set switch. You press it and you're alive again.

- Just like that? - Yeah, just like that.

What?

What?

What's going on?

I just stabbed myself.

- Are you dying? - I am.

Awesome.

Here I come, too.

First time on a crime scene?

You must be nervous.

When the siren's on, everybody scoots out of the way.

Isn't it fun?

You shouldn't wear those high-heels anymore. You might have to run.

Is that an order?

[t isn't an order. Just friendly advice.

Detective, sir.

You've arrived.

Oh, young people these days.

Can't they kill themselves more discreetly?

What's wrong? Feel sick?

I'm okay.

Time of death, Wakamiya?

Between 3 and 5 AM.

Died of a massive hemorrhage.

The cervical artery has been cut through.

Yes, that did it.

- Age? - She's 20.

- Any roommates? - No.

Any sign of robbery?

I don't think so.

No sign of illegal entry and no sign of a search having taken place.

The door was locked from inside. It's probably a suicide.

Let's go through the routine and get the hell out of here.

How about some Korean BBQ and beer?

In the morning?

I need something to pick me up.

Stop joking around, it's unprofessional.

Who brought her here?

How can we deal with this without a sense of humor?

If she lives by herself, there are no eyewitnesses.

You can't turn this into something that it isn't.

You made your name at the National Police Agency by being thorough.

But this is a suicide, no doubt about it.

We don't know for sure.

We have no witnesses, but a neighbor heard the victim scream,

"Help, I'm scared!"

Killing yourself is scary.

- Look at this. - What?

She called someone last night. Find out who she called.

Sure.

So that was your first visit to a crime scene?

- Can I ask you one thing, Keiko? - Go ahead.

Why did you ask to be transferred from the National Police Agency?

Why did you leave such an elite position?

I would never choose to be a lousy detective.

- Wakamiya? - Yes?

Aren't you going to the BBQ?

Of course I'm not going.

Detective Sekiya was fooling around.

Really?

That suicide case, what's your opinion on it?

We haven't found a note. I don't know yet.

When she was with the National Agency,

Lieutenant Kirishima worked on organized crime cases.

She provided unique analysis.

She led many successful bribery investigations.

She requested to be transferred to this precinct to work.

She has a strong desire to get some hands-on experience,

so we agreed to her unusual request.

She lacks experience on crime scenes...

But the princess can't bear the sight of blood.

She'll get ahead of you if you're not careful.

Are you saying that she is going to be my boss?

Thanks for taking care of me all these years.

I'm going first. Take care of yourself.

Stop this nonsense and come home now!

You're saying we should kill ourselves live on cell phones?

That's an intriguing way to go.

What? I have a Stanley knife with me.

Are you making a fool out of me?

I heard you reacting to something.

What is it? Did you say, "I felt you?"

What do you mean?

Hello?

Wait a minute. Hello?

I'm in front of the elevator. I'm almost home.

Here I go. Good-bye.

Help.

Help me.

Is the princess okay?

Yes, thank you.

Can you tell us about what happened with your husband?

Yes.

It was like he was having a horrible nightmare.

He was stabbing himself screaming, "Help me!"

In a nightmare?

It was as if he was being attacked in his dream.

That's what it was like.

How could he die like that,

in such a horrifying way?

Why have these things been happening?

What's going on?

The wife witnessed the whole thing.

Case closed. Agreed?

- Wait just a second. - What?

Look at this.

Wakamiya, why aren't you showing it to me first?

The same.

He called the same person that the female victim called.

Let's head back to headquarters.
