Dead Mount Death Play (2023): Season 1, Episode 4 - The Mad Dog - full transcript

SHINJUKU POLICE STATION

The Gator Sisters,

the Barber,

Riddle Riddle,

the Grocer,

the Poisoner,

Donner Donner,

and the Phantom Solitaire.

As you all know,
these guys were either arrested

or confirmed dead.

Who came up with these strange names?



It was the manager.

You two! Keep quiet!

The names don't matter anyway.
They won't be made public.

So he cares that much.

In short, we cannot disclose
these guys to the public.

Even if we do, the public won't believe
that such criminals exist.

Dealing with them is our job at Comps-3,

short for Materials Compiling Group No. 3.

Also, there's the Grim Reaper,

the Fire-breathing Bug,

as well as Lemmings.

Currently, these three calamities
are still at large.

Also,

bones were found at the fire two days ago,



and human bodies were knotted up.

We also found footprints
at the scene of the "Human Knot."

The footprints match those of Lemmings.

And at the fire that resembles
Fire-breathing Bug's, there were bones.

We're not sure if this is related to
the Human Knot.

But two calamity-related events
happened in a short timeframe.

We cannot sit idly by.

Were those bones synthesized?

After analyzing several videos,

we did not find any inconsistencies
in the angle or size of the bones.

If the bones in the videos
were synthesized in real-time,

then those videos
cannot be used as evidence.

Report complete.

If it's an illusion,
then how do we explain the saved children?

People on social media
and supernatural websites

are now in a heated debate.

UNSOLVED CASE MATERIALS

Alright, calm down.

We've given reasonable explanations
for all the calamities we encountered.

Even Phantom Solitaire was unmasked
with the help of advanced technology.

In the cases we have been responsible for,

none of them were wizards
who could summon dragons and such.

This won't change.

There must be humans behind these events.

As long as these events
are caused by humans,

we can handle it.

Okay, the transfer was successful.

I transferred the original Polka's soul
into this doll.

The drone can be returned to you now.

Welcome back, my lovely drone.

I missed you so much.

To be precise,
you're the one we should be calling Polka.

Sorry about that.

I still need to use your name
and registration for a while.

I won't use it for bad things.

What is this? So cute!

Did Polka buy it?

Wow, it turned so red.

He can still get excited
even when facing the woman who killed him.

Was the original Polka a strange kid?

I can't understand what you're saying.

I can make it speak normally…

as long as there is
a fresh human vocal cord.

Where would we get that?

If I make it from scratch,
it would consume a lot of mana.

Perhaps I should focus on replenishing
my magic rather than making money.

However, the mana content
in the atmosphere of this world is low,

and I don't sense that many spirits.

So what will you do?

Usually, as long as there is a soul,
magic can be replenished.

For the deceased to stay in
the real world,

it requires more energy than
you can imagine,

from emotions such as
hatred or attachment.

As necromancers,

we are able to convert
these emotions into mana

through exorcisms.

So this building…

has accumulated more potent mana
compared to ancient battlefields.

However, there aren't many places
like this building.

It's okay,

because there are also
magic retention stones in this world.

Magic retention stones?

Here, magic stones are called gems,

such as diamonds or sapphires.

In my world, they are high-density
magic retention stones.

If I had a bucket full of
these magic retention stones,

I could cast spells
and make a fortune here.

Impressive.

Come with me and
experience reality for yourself.

S-Such a small piece of stone

costs as much as the monthly salary
of a police officer in this country?

I didn't expect the price to be so high.

In your original world,
are these gems cheap?

Even children can buy them.

EASY LIVING WITH MAGIC CIRCUITS!
HARVEST FROM MAGICAL CAVES!

But in order to have a peaceful life,

I will not give up.

I will save enough money to one day
buy all the gems in this store at once.

PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE

According to this afternoon's
market prices,

a total of 3,812,795,800 yen is needed.

I know nothing of this country's currency,
so I don't know how much that is.

Have a nice day.

I clearly sensed a strong magic
from the stone.

Can't you directly absorb the magic
through the cabinet?

If I do so, the stone will break

and it will be unfair
to the people in the store.

You seem to have
high morals about such things.

So what should we do next?

Oh no!

How cold.

There's no need to run, criminal.

I finally got to see you today, Clarissa.

What can I do for you, Mr. Policeman?

It's nothing.
I just have a lot to say to you.

Around the time when the fire
broke out at the Shakuzawa Building,

you seemed quite panicked.

Moreover, someone saw the drone
of that intelligence dealer

hovering around the building.

Besides that,

we also discovered a group of
severely injured guys yesterday.

The leader of those people
is a bastard named Jimba,

who was cultivated by you.

I think there is some connection
between them.

As a police officer,

even if it's something difficult to
inquire about, I still have to ask.

How much involvement does
your organization have in these cases?

Lisa Kuraki.

Sorry, sorry.

Did I scare you?

Please don't mind.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Okay.

Be careful, Polka.

This guy is probably
not easy to deal with.

Can you hear me, Takumi Kuruya?

You can communicate

as long as the propellers
of your drone have stopped, right?

This troublesome guy caught me.

What should I do?

Polka and Misaki
haven't been targeted yet.

Should I continue to remain silent?

Well…

I believe I asked for your cooperation.

Yes.

But that drone
is very important to my friend.

Friend? Do you mean Takumi?

Yes.

This is not good.

You should still be
a high school student, right?

If you hang out with that kind of bastard,

you will become one of them.

Break off any ties with him now.

What's going on?

His body is so cold.

Being a bastard. Being trash.

Being filthy.

I think it's society that
determines these things.

But it's my freedom to choose
who to be friends with.

Oh, I see.

I am starting to become interested in you.

Can you tell me about your situation?

Kozaburo Arase.

Although he is
a police officer belonging to

the Shinjuku Police's
Community Safety Division,

he is more dangerous
than any thug on the street.

When I was an intelligence dealer
for a certain gang…

he beat eight of their fighters

in a bloodbath in no time at all.

Can you hear me, Polka?

Don't reply to me.

That guy will notice.

You need to hide your own strength.

If he targets you, you won't have
the peaceful life you wanted anymore.

That guy is a police officer.

Did he ask to become friends with you?

People who casually talk about friendship
like this are actually suspicious.

Didn't your family teach you about this?

I was sold by my parents,
so I don't understand what you mean.

Sold?

Sorry, that happened in my past life.

I'm becoming more and more
interested in you.

Please tell me your name.

Misaki goes in and out of
Clarissa's shop too frequently,

and Polka might go too.

It wouldn't be good if they are caught.

Hey, Arase,

we haven't had a direct conversation
in a long time, have we?

I'm really surprised.

You even knew my phone number?

It seems like your skills have improved
a lot compared to back then.

Those two people are just
playing video games with me.

They are family members
of employees from Clarissa's place.

Both of them are innocent.

Can you spare them?

I interrogated them just to verify
if they were innocent.

Hey, I accept punishment
for violating aviation regulations.

Better than posting a video of you
interrogating innocent people, right?

Not bad.
Are you trying to make a deal with me?

You're acting so tough
just because I'm not in front of you now.

You don't seem like the same person
who'd betray friends before.

At that time, you were crying and saying,

"I will provide information,
so please don't hit me."

Hey, do you really know
what kind of person Takumi Kuruya is?

He is a guy who can easily betray
his friends for self-protection.

He even told me things I didn't ask about,

like how many moles
his friend's sister has.

How could I possibly know about that?

He's a shallow criminal.

Who knows what he says about you
behind your backs.

As long as one spends money,

he will easily reveal
your secrets to others.

Reveal my secrets?

But at least…

he is better than how you are now.

This guy is definitely
not an ordinary kid.

This heavy aura is like a cannonball.

It's more like an underworld boss
lurking in a field of death.

An experienced soldier? Impossible.

I don't want him to witness my power
or investigate my identity.

What will Misaki do?

Huh?

Where did the girl who was with him go?

That was so scary.

I almost got hit by
this suspicious guy just now,

so this should be considered self-defense.

Okay, let's run away.

He'll attack us if we stay.

The power she just displayed
is not what a little kid should have.

Where did they run off to?

That was really close.

Honestly, that was a big help.

Kurupon sent me a text too,

telling me he's a policeman
and that we should run.

Are you alright, Polka?

Yes.

Hey.

Thanks for watching out for me.

But what you just said
really overestimates me.

It's just like that guy said.

I value my own life very much.

If I'm threatened, I'd probably
also sell you out, easily.

You are overestimating me too.

For me, there is no secret
more important than…

the lives of my friends.

May I ask, were you also
that decisive in your past life?

I mentioned the Geldwood Church
to you before, right?

That group used a sacred spell

that can force others to reveal secrets.

So for me,
selling information is not a big deal.

Is that church really holy?

At least one person should be.

Hey, Miss Aikawa.

Although it may sound a bit strange,
can you please investigate this footprint?

What is this? That's hilarious.

By the way, isn't this
a woman's shoe print?

What were you doing?

Arase, you need treatment.

You need to get treated quickly.

Come on, take off your clothes.

Wait, no…

That footprint…

It probably doesn't need
to be investigated.

Huh?

I just saw it earlier.

This is a footprint left at the scene
of the Human Knots.

It's the most important evidence
outside of Lemmings.

Look at that.

So scary.

If you need treatment, go to the room.

You're scaring everyone with your back.

Bingo.

It's been a long time since we had…

an interesting case like this.

Comps-3 seems busy.

It seems like they have found
signs from Lemmings.

That calamity?

That guy probably appeared five years ago.

Killing, guarding, transporting goods,

kidnapping, robbing, destroying evidence…

He does any job to make money.

Rumor has it that
he's a jack-of-all-trades.

I only met him once in person.

That guy is undoubtedly a monster.

The group of people who confronted him
even used submachine guns,

but he twisted their necks
while enduring the rain of bullets…

without hiding or avoiding them.

I want to say that
we should catch him with our own strength,

but it is under Comps-3's jurisdiction.

We can only leave it to Iwanome
and his team to handle.

Iwanome is a strange man
who lost his chance at a career,

but he has quite the backbone.

Then I said,

"Stop trying to be clever."

No way.

That's something only
a person who has been framed would say.

So what is that person here for?

He must have come to ask questions

because he couldn't get a search warrant
and wanted to gather information first.

Hey, Lisa Kuraki!

Speak honestly!

I know you must have a connection
with calamities.

Confess now.

Lemmings or the Fire-breathing Bug
are not your subordinates,

but the Grim Reaper is, right?

Who's the Grim Reaper? Sounds scary.

Lemmings? What a cute name.

Lemmings is a pretty scary person.

I was really scared when I saw him
break through the encirclement

of 30 Mobile Squad members.

Don't disclose this to the media.

Hm, maybe I will.

Are we just going to let him be?

The Shinjuku Police
never released this intelligence.

Anyway, it's mutual.

This shop…

is no longer just a simple bar.

He also understood this
and came to provoke us.

Even moving bones appeared
at the scene of the fire.

I faintly smell a new calamity.

That's so scary.

It'll be bad if he catches our weak point.

We need to warn Polka to be extra careful.

Yoo-hoo! Clarissa, we came to play.

Talk about bad timing.

Hey, you two.

Aren't you underage?

You can't come to this kind of place.

Don't worry about it.
I plan on ordering milk.

Kids are so mature these days.

GOT A HIT ON ONE INVOLVED
IN THE "HUMAN KNOT"

Hey, you two.

I'm treating you to some juice.

Can you tell me what's popular
among young people these days?

It's Arase.

Where are they going?

This direction is…

Could it be… It's so hot!

Oh, I spilled it.

That was close.

And then, Hagane said to him,

"You're always trying to be clever!"

That's something only
someone who has been framed would say.

Who is Hagane?

What is with this fruit juice?

Before becoming an undead being…

I've never had such a delicious drink.

I really want the people
in the wasteland to taste it too.

Why is he crying?

I don't know.

Hey Polka! Are you in the bar?

Don't reply to me.

If you're there,
leave immediately through the back door.

Can you please move aside?

I am a customer, at least for now.

Okay, let him in.

Besides, his friend is also here.

Hey! Arase, over here!

The woman's as sly as a fox.

I didn't expect you to really be with her.

You're the bad guy who just hit me
and tried to push me down!

I didn't try to push you down.

You're really terrible.

Manager?

Just kidding.

Hey, can I ask you two about something?

You don't want to be charged
with obstructing official duties, do you?

Stop trying to be clever.

It wasn't us.

Polka, what should we do?

Should we just run away?

That seems like the best option.

I'll lead the way this time.

Wow, that's a bold proposal.

Polka?

What's going on? Who is there?

Let me get a light.

Hey, is this for real?

Why are you here…

Lemmings?
