[MAN B

ANNOUNCER That makes three victims now.

ANNOUNCER Just how long will this string of "vampiric killings" go on?

I never realized.

As I went on living my normal life,

I never stopped to notice...

What's wrong?

Oh...nothing.

He always was there in the crowd.

watching...and waiting

FEMALE STUDENT A What? I don't believe it! You need to break up with him fast!

FEMALE STUDENT C Right, Tsukasa? What do you think?

Huh?

FEMALE STUDENT B Forget about that.

Do you have a boyfriend yet, Tsukasa?

Me? I...

...don't think I need one.

FEMALE STUDENT A (SITTING) Come on, you can't be like that forever.

FEMALE STUDENT B I could introduce you to someone.

FEMALE STUDENT B What about Professor Ochiai?

You're his favorite student, Tsukasa.

I'm not his favorite. And I'm pretty sure he's married.

Hey, cut her some slack. Tsukasa is "pure," okay?

She's not like you lot.

GIRL B What makes her so different?

Tsukasa is actually responsible.

GIRL B You make it sound like we're a bunch of shallow airheads!

And believe it or not, Tsukasa has...

Hey Tsukasa.

Can I sit next to you?

And would you mind showing me your notes?

Sure, no problem.

What? Borrowing Tsukasa's notes again?

Hers are the most helpful‐she knows how to organize them.

That's for sure. Can I see too?

FEMALE STUDENT C Hey, Tsukasa. I'm having a hard time getting this one.

Um, well, you have to...

GIRL A There's Professor Ochiai!

OCHIAI Alright, take your seats.

And quit stealing Tsukasa's notes.

So where were you heading next, Miwako?

Well, there are a few companies I'd like to apply for.

Oh yeah...we have to find jobs.

No, you're such a great student‐you could go for a PhD! You know?

I'm not so sure. I don't think I want more school.

Huh?

I do like doing research and learning new things,

And I like college, too, but...

It's okay. You don't have to rush.

Yes, you do!

You don't have to get a boyfriend,

But if you don't get serious about your future,

you could be in big trouble.

It's true.

As the days go on,

I usually just go with the flow.

I can't see the future,

so my only option is to do my best with what's in front of me.

How do you figure out what it is you really want to do in life?

There it is. It's that feeling again.

Like someone is watching me.

The target is on Hakusan Dori. He left Kasuga Station and is headed for Tokyo University!

The victim has what appear to be bite marks on her neck,

and all the blood has been drained from her body.

[MAN

POLICE OFFICER A Freeze! Don't move!

OFFICER B You won't get away from us!

OFFICER B Stop right now!

[MAN

OFFICER A

[MAN

OFFICER B Hey!

A Attention all units in the vicinity.

A The suspect in question has been identified as a Level 3 special case.

A We're giving this to Public Security Division 5.

A I repeat. This is a special case for Public Security Division 5.

DETECTIVE A I want a name for this suspect.

DETECTIVE B What's his escape route?

WOMAN A Hey, have you heard about the Vampire Murders?

Yeah, of course. But they're just an urban legend.

There's no such thing as vampires.

Is something wrong?

No, I'm fine.

You sure?

Miwako, I can hear your show

through your headphones.

Oh, you can? Sorry.

What are you watching?

A special on the Vampire Murders.

You and your occult obsession.

Whatever!

Look! They found fang marks on the victims' necks and‐

That's the kind of stuff you only read about in the tabloids.

You never hear about it on the real news.

Must have imagined it.

A F Squad has gone on ahead and blocked the target's escape route.

Sawazaki, F Squad, I copy!

I have one striker, and one doctor.

On our way to apprehend the target.

A Initiating information control.

Issuing gag order to all police officers.

B Requesting backup from the MPD Aviation Unit's EC135.

A Division 5 detectives and riot police now in position on target's escape route.

[MAN

[JILL

Think he's a first offender?

Hard to say.

Once they get a taste of blood,

they never forget it.

They lose themselves to the mental high and the sexual rush.

Human blood is just like a narcotic to them.

And they get ten times higher than any human on drugs.

It's unbelievable an entire race, born with an addiction to human blood.

Vampires.

[MAN (UNDER)

[MAN (UNDER)

[JILL I know you're suffering.

[JILL Let me put you out of your misery.

[JILL

[MAN

B Is he the one behind the serial vampire murders?

A No. Negative, not this guy...

Hey, Tsukasa, what do you think?

What's really behind the Vampire Murders?

Come on, she doesn't need to see that stuff!

Aww, look at you, Akimura.

Stop looking at me like that.

ANNOUNCER (UNDER) The next station is Korakuen. The doors on the right side will open.

Tsukasa's place is a far walk. Make sure she gets home okay. I will, don't worry

COUPLE WOMAN It was a great show!

COUPLE MAN Yeah, it was.

COUPLE MAN What do you wanna do now?

You really don't have to worry about it, Tsukasa.

Huh?

What I said to you the other day.

It's okay.

I knew you didn't think of me that way.

I'm not trying to make you feel bad.

I know that, okay!

Whoa. If looks could kill.

What!? I don't look like anything.

But anyway, It does help to know that you don't have a boyfriend, Tsukasa.

I just feel like, if you did have one...

I might not be able to recover.
