Fukuyama Masaharu as Yukawa Manabu

Shibasaki Kou as Utsumi Kaoru

Chapter One

"Beneath The Wheel"

By Hermann Hesse.

Hans Giebenrath was -

an unmistakably gifted child.

Just seeing him running
with the other kids -

was enough for one to take note of his
courteous and extraordinary qualities.

Never before has
an exceptional child like him -

been born in this small
town in Schwarzwald.



The journey from this
boringly peaceful town...

Here we are! - Hey man, that girl you
introduced me to last time was so ugly!

Why did you hit on such a girl?

Hey! Shut up!

You're disturbing the whole neighborhood!

Everyone! I apologize!

Forgive us!

If it hits someone, the person can die.

The fire extinguisher
might actually explode!

Seriously, we'll get in trouble.
It's a crime.

People might think
we are criminals.

Hey. Why don't we throw it from
the middle school's rooftop next time?

Good idea!
- Sneak into the school at night!

I'm in.
- I'm in, too!



What if we get caught?
- Don't worry!

The security guard is just some old fart.

If we get caught, we'll
just beat the crap outta...

The incident occurred around 22:20.

Exactly an hour ago.

The accident scene is on a sidewalk along
the Sakura River in Sanou, 5th district.

Yamashita Ryousuke-san, 19
years old, burned to death.

Shut up already.

It's all written down here so I know.

I'm sorry.

I'm getting car sick from
reading these small letters.

Hurry up!

Okay.

Kusanagi-san!

Ok, then, please take
care of the rest. - OK.

Hey, what's up?

His head caught on fire, right?

How can that happen?

No! You can't be in there!

You can't be in there.

Stay behind the line, okay?

I'm sorry, that's my daughter.

Must be this.

He caught on fire from these fireworks.

That's not it.

His head just ignited!

Calm down!

He's panicking.

The witness from that other
incident was like this too, right?

You know? That "Rat Man" incident
in the Denenchoufu area!

I've heard of it.

That incident where a man
controlled rats to kill people?

Kusanagi-san, it was you who
solved that case, too, right?

And that psychokinesis murder in Kamata -

and that levitation
incident in Haneda, too!

His achievements were recognized, and now
he's being promoted to the central office!

Amazing... I wish we could've
worked on more cases together.

Unfortunately, tomorrow is the last day.

I will become your successor!

Stop with the nonsense, rookie!

This is the beautiful medical
examiner, Jounouchi Sakurako-san.

I'm Jounouchi, the beautiful
medical examiner.

I'm Utsumi Kaoru, nice to meet you.

This is her first case of this kind.

So do you admire Kusanagi-san?

Yes, because he's the mystery hunter
of the North Kaizuka Police Department!

"Mystery Hunter" huh?

Everything above his neck is scorched.

Having contact with heat on the head and
the neck is the direct cause of death.

So much heat...

that his skull carbonized.

Barf bags are over there.

Wait, wait, wait!
Vomit in the restrooms if you can.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

How cute.

This incident...

I wonder if we can uncover the real
truth behind this case, without you.

Utsumi, it seems you are not confident.

That's not true...

You wanted to be a detective ever since
you were in the traffic department?

Yes.

I heard you became a decoy
and arrested 60 molesters.

65 molesters.

Every day, I wore short skirts
and rode the morning trains.

I even wore a high school uniform once!

Alright...

I'll tell you the truth.

Hm?

You know...

I'm not a mystery hunter.

Huh?

All the crime cases I solved -

are thanks to a certain person.

A certain person?

Teito University

What a carefree place a university is!

Hey, hey. What's your major?
- Huh?

Let's go on a group date! It'll
help you get job hunting info!

I'm not a student!

Sorry.

No way!
- Are you serious?

I still look young!

He's at Teito University's School
of Science and Engineering.

Physics Department, Lab 13.

He was my classmate when I was in college.

His name is Yukawa Manabu.

He's considered a super genius
in the field of physics.

Physics Lab - Yukawa Manabu,
Associate Professor

Genius...

But it just so happens that he's strange.

We used to call him -

Galileo, the weirdo.

Galileo the weirdo?

Hello?

Who are you?

My name is Utsumi.

I'm looking for assistant professor Yukawa.

I'm Yukawa.

I've never seen this face before.

I'm from the North Kaizuka
Police Department.

Detective Kusanagi told me about you.

Kusanagi?

I would like your assistance in...

No, no, no. Please leave.

We're busy with an experiment.

Please continue.

Students, back to your positions.

I'll talk to you later then.
- We can't help you with investigations.

The plasma phenomenon here...

He cooperated with Kusanagi-san
only because he was his classmate.

We need your assistance.

Please leave.
- There was a mysterious incident and...

You're too persistent!

I'm not talking to you.

I'm his assistant.

Then keep your mouth shut.

What did you say?

Someone caught on fire!

No, Professor.

The filaments in light bulbs
contain copper, so...

Please leave.

It happened in a normal neighborhood!

Let's ignore her.

His head suddenly ignited and he died!

Focus! People, don't look at her.

That's impossible!

Impossible?

Who proved that?

Eh?

Yukawa-sensei?

July 2, 1951. St. Petersburg, Florida.

Mary Harder Reeser,
a 67-year-old woman, -

spontaneously combusted at home and
turned to ashes within minutes.

September 15, 1952.

Jeannie Safin, a woman
in Edmonton, England, -

suddenly breathed fire and
her head caught on fire.

In recent time, August 24, 1998...

Agnes Philips, a woman in Sydney,
suddenly started burning in her car.

The phenomena of spontaneous
human combustion, -

where the human body suddenly
burns, are observed everywhere.

Such an occult phenomenon just occurred!

Occult?

You say strange things.

Every phenomenon has a cause.

There are theories on why
human bodies combust.

The phosphorous combustion theory, -

the bacteria combustion theory, -

the human candle combustion theory, -

and what you saw now, -

the plasma combustion theory.

Plasma?

However, so far...

There is no decisive proof that
explains spontaneous human combustion.

Was there fire on the scene?

The news called it
a fireworks-related accident.

Can pinwheel fireworks -

carbonize a skull?

Amusing.

Galileo Burns.

by Criminal Minds Team in @ Viki

The victim was sitting here.

The other three with him were -

buddies who graduated from
the same middle school.

They were sitting below, -

around here, looking up at the victim.

Wait, wait, here.

They put out cigarettes here.

What enjoyment did they get out of this?

According to witness accounts, he started
burning from the back of his head.

The back of his head?

As soon as they noticed
the back of his head on fire, -

his whole head suddenly burst into flames.

Did he have any oily hair
product on his hair?

Yes, he did.

But if hair products are so flammable, -

everyone in this town would
be burning like matches.

Like matches, huh?

You say amusing things.

It's not really amusing.

No, it's truly amusing.

Do you know why he burned?

Yukawa-sensei?

I don't have the slightest clue.

Thank you very much.

Keep up the good work.
- Thank you.

Good luck! Thank you.

Wasn't Yukawa a strange one?

Do we really need the help
of someone like... - Kusanagi-san.

Kusanagi-san!

Is this case that difficult
that we need someone like him?

Chief says it's probably
just an accident, too.

It's probably pointless to be so
determined with this investigation.

Treasures are buried
in places no one would look.

Treasures?

If it were me, I'd continue investigating.

Say hi to Yukawa for me.

Kusanagi-san!

I do feel sorry for him.

Be careful!

But honestly, I'm a bit relieved.

They were really noisy, weren't they?
Night after night...

Every night?

They didn't listen to police warnings.

I couldn't stand it any more!

If I were an assassin, -

I would've killed them already!

So you think -

it was done by someone
who lives around here?

I wouldn't say that.

But, how did it happen?

Yes, why did a person catch on fire?

Why, why?

Is it written here?

No, no, no.

You can't, no.

Don't worry, we won't tell.

Thank you for your help!

I already spoke to the police.

Do you remember anything since then?

Like suspicious cars, people, sounds?

No, nothing.

I see.

Did you find out how the person
suddenly caught on fire?

Uh...

I think everyone's curious.

Wouldn't they be?

We're still investigating.

Good bye.

Keep up the good work.

Excuse me.

My name is Utsumi from the North
Kaizuka Police Department.

Molecules with structures like this -

are called polar molecules.

Now, let's think about the molecules
of water, which we can't do without.

What elements are in a water molecule?

Oxygen.

Right.

What's the other?

Hydrogen.

That's correct.

He's so cool!

Let's sit in the front next time.

I want him to ask me a question too!

Which household appliance
create heat in such a way?

You.

Can you answer?

Huh?

Which household appliance creates heat
by vibrating water molecules with microwaves?

What?

Which household appliance creates heat
by vibrating water molecules with microwaves?

Mi-cro?

My-clo?

My closet?

Microwave oven.

Next, let's think about ionic
bond and hydrogen bond.

So, did you figure it out?

As I told you before, every
phenomenon has a cause.

There is a cause to why
a head suddenly caught fire.

I've already heard you say that.

That's why I started the sentence
with "as I told you before."

You don't have to repeat
the same thing over.

So are you...

Are you upset about something?

You can tell?

Don't tell me you're mad at me?

Scientists sure don't think
much about peoples' feelings!

Of course not.

Feelings are not logical.

To seriously contemplate over something
illogical is a waste of time.

Don't you get it?

Let's say you were -

dog poo.

What?

You're poo, so you stink horribly.

Who would contemplate over why poo
stinks when it's in front of him?

Dispose of it or leave the scene.

Either way, it's a waste of time
to contemplate over dog poo.

In other words, -

I'm dog poo?

That's right. Don't make me repeat myself.

What should I do with this frustration?

I have no interest in your emotions.

Today's theme is to think
about why a person's head -

spontaneously combusted,
with a different approach.

How irritating!

Is it a natural occurrence
or an artificial occurrence?

What?

In simpler terms...

Is it an accident -

or a crime?

I think it's a crime.

Why?

A detective's intuition.

Truly illogical.

Dog poo?

Dog poo.

Poo?
- Yes, poo.

It makes me want to arrest you!

See, more poo appears.

Are those cigarette burns suspicious?

Can you be quiet?

Is there something about her?

What is she doing?

Why don't you ask her?

I hate them.

Huh?

Children act illogically.

Huh?

You ask her.

Hurry.

She's looking for a thread.

Thread?

She was here on the night
of the incident, too, -

with her mother in the crowd.

She was looking up like
that, so I talked to her.

She said a red thread was
floating in the air.

What was?

A red thread.

She must have read about it in a fairy tale
or something. Kids have a wild imagin...

I want to know details.

What kind of thread was it?

A straight thread.

A straight thread?

Whereabouts?

Was it floating in the sky?

No, over there.

Right around that man's head?

Stop it.

Don't point, you're scaring him.

Did she see it before?

Have you seen the red
thread before that night?

On the night of Tanabata Festival.

Tanabata?

Three months ago.

I have to go home.

Thanks.

You don't hate kids,
you're just bad with them!

What is it?

Straight thread...

A person caught on fire!

What are the police doing
in a place like this?

We're investigating a case.

Is it that case -

Where a delinquent burned to death?

Well, yes...

You can't touch metal products
with your bare hands!

Oh, right.

It'll rust from the salt content.

Excuse me.

Anyway, did you find out why
a person burned like that?

Not yet.

It's likely an accident from
naturally occurring plasma.

Plasma?

A large amount of electricity
must have somehow discharged.

Plasma was then created
and caught on fire.

There are places where
such things happen easily.

However, I can't be 100% sure about that -

so we have no choice but to
continue with our investigation.

But if the same things happens
at the same place again, -

that's when our investigation
will come to an end.

What?

Well then, good bye.

Yukawa-sensei...

Thank you for your cooperation, good bye.

What did you mean when you
said end of investigation?

Don't be telling them irresponsible things.

Why did you suddenly tell
them it was an accident?

What exactly is plasma?
Please explain it to me!

No. It's still in a hypothesis stage.

Hypotheses are meaningless until
they are proven through experiments.

I can't tell you until then.

Even so, this is truly amusing.

What's so amusing about this?

A person died!

A boy who didn't even get
to turn twenty died!

This case isn't for your amusement!

Stop fooling around.

Let's stop assisting the police
with the investigations.

If you don't focus
on your real job, you'll get -

in trouble with the Board
of Professors again.

I've never had someone yell
at me like that before.

What's wrong?

You're not the type who feels guilty
about making other people angry.

Kuribayashi-san, -

have you ever made a woman angry before?

I've been hit by a brick before!

You're not going to depend
on the expert any more?

He's more like an ordinary
nerd than an expert.

It doesn't matter any more. I'll discover
the truth behind this case by myself.

Galileo-sensei may really be a nerd.

Here.

Thank you.

You know about Yukawa-sensei?

Yes, I've heard about
him from Kusanagi-san.

That he is a weirdo.

More than just a weirdo.

He doesn't know a thing about
other people's feelings.

He must have been an elite his entire life.

We're just fundamentally different.

If you can't beat him with
reason, use the women's weapon.

Weapon?

Men can't resist women's tears.

Tears?

I have to cry?

You do things like that too, Dr. Jounouchi?

Excuse me.

It's him. "I want to
talk to you in person"?

I don't understand the message.

The angry face is you.

The other side is me.

What are the swirls in between?

Those are the misunderstandings between us.

Misunderstandings?

When I encounter phenomenon
beyond my comprehension, or -

incredibly difficult problems,
I end up thinking it's amusing.

That's why when I said it's
amusing, I wasn't playing around.

Of course, I also didn't
intend to make you angry.

And?

Basically..
- Don't tell me, -

you're apologizing?

I'm sorry.

Then...

Tell me why a person caught on fire.

No, I haven't proven it yet.

This and that are two separate things.

The reason -

I became a detective, is because -

when I was little, -

I lost my whole family at once.

We went to Los Angeles
on a family vacation, -

and in our hotel room, -

suddenly, men with guns...

Guns?

Like a reflex, -

I hid under the bed, but...

My parents and sister...

Got shot?

They mistook us for someone else.

Mistook for someone else?

A Chinese family -

stayed next door.

They were in the Chinese Mafia!

That's when...

I swore to become a detective.

I wanted to catch -

every single criminal in the world.

And one day, -

catch those guys who killed my family.

That's why, -

if this time someone is
behind this incident, -

I have to catch him!

Tell me, -

how did a person burn like that?

Hypotheses and proof, -

I don't care about them.

Tell me.

Please...

How far are we going?

You'll find out eventually.

Um... Are we there yet?
- Soon.

This is it.

What is this?

A reproduction of the crime scene.

This is a carbon dioxide laser.

It's an industrial machine
that cuts and melts metal.

Laser?

You've seen laser guns
in Sci-Fi movies, right?

Are you saying...

Someone burned the victim's
head with a laser beam?

A powerful laser beam was fired
from Tokita Manufacturing Factory.

Metal products in that factory -

had distinctive marks from a laser.

Also, they had carbon
dioxide gas tanks around.

They have the exact same
machine somewhere in there.

Wait a minute!

You can't see the crime scene from
Tokita Manufacturing Factory.

This mirror is made from
a metal that reflects -

almost 100% of the laser
beam that hits its surface.

The laser beam that hits
this will reflect upwards, -

hit that mirror over there, -

and then reflect into a mirror over there.

The laser beam then reflects
to the right from there, -

then hits the farthest mirror over there, -

and finally hits the target.

This is what happened.

I'm determined to prove this hypotheses.

The murderer was in that factory?

Who? What motive?

That's your job to find out.

I'm only interested in: How does a person's
head spontaneously combust? That's all.

But, I've already set up a trap for you.

A trap?

Natural plasma occurrence theory.

Nothing's happening.

It's still only day two.

It won't happen so conveniently for us...

Maybe it's a waste of time.

What's wrong?

Nothing...

Just a red light.

See?

Look!

There, look!

Look!

Where are you going?

Don't move!

Police!

You are...

The suspect is Kanamori
Tatsuo, 42 years old.

On the night of the incident, -

Kanamori made sure the victims
were in the target area -

and fired the laser.

I couldn't take it any more.

Those kids were...

Every single night, -

screaming and causing ruckus.

They interfered with my recordings.

Recordings?

I -

read for the visually impaired, -

as a volunteer.

Reading...

I just wanted to scare them away.

I only intended to burn a trash can -

to scare them.

Who would've thought that -

it would actually hit a person?

Who would've thought he
would burn like that?

I think Kanamori has some
reason to deserve our sympathy.

I mean, the victims -

have been disturbing everyone
in the neighborhood.

Adjust M-4 by 0.05 degrees.

Yes.

Gee, 0.05...

But the case is solved.

Thank you.

The "red thread" you saw was a helium-neon
laser. Ones used at concerts.

It's already solved...

The carbon dioxide laser used in the crime
cannot be seen by the naked eye.

Therefore, to adjust the course, he uses
the harmless helium-neon laser first.

Okay!

We can easily recreate it this far.

Are you even listening to me?

I'm switching to the carbon dioxide laser.

Unsuccessful!

The laser path won't stabilize due to error
in the optical axis and air temperature.

I understand that you would
be disappointed, but...

For example, -

just by moving that
mirror by 0.01 degrees, -

the laser target will be off by two meters.

This is an experiment that
requires a level of precision.

Re-adjust the angle again!

Move M-4 back by 0.05 degrees!

Turn M-3 by 0.02 degrees!

This autumn was even more
beautiful than usual.

Surrounded by a soft sunlight, -

dawn was silver in color.

Daytime was filled with vibrant colors, -

and the sky was perfectly clear at night.

The mountains in the distance -

were a deep blue color, like velvet.

The chestnut tree shone in a gold color.

Wild grapes were hanging
thier purple leaves...

Wild grapes... were hanging
their purple leaves...

on walls and fences.

Hans relaxed and...

This is the tape Kanamori
recorded after the incident.

Such a pure-hearted person
ended up a murderer.

How sad.

Something's not right about this.

What?

I wonder what.

How's Yukawa doing?

Still doing his experiments.

He's become obsessed with it.

He's continuing the experiment?

Is something wrong?

Who's paying for this experiment?

Huh?

Lasers are expensive!

Maybe he'll send you a bill.

No way!

Maybe you should hurry.

Give me a break!

Excuse me.

Don't worry about it.

Thank you.

Hey!

Be quiet.

Unsuccessful!

Failed again.

How many times was that?

Forty-second time.

Forty-two?

That's enough, Yukawa-sensei!

The victim's head caught
on fire by accident.

Again!

Please stop.

The police are not paying
for the experimentation costs.

We're starting!

Please don't...

It burned!

It's a success.

It really burned...

I've solved the mystery
of spontaneous human combustion.

That was amazing.

Good work.

Good work, everyone.

Okay, everyone, sort the experiment's data.

Yes.

There's plenty of people who stab with
knives when they lose their tempers, -

but he chose such an indirect method...

Kanamori is a really timid person.

I wonder if that's true.

We succeeded at last,
on the forty-third try.

What do you think this means?

That...

It was a coincidence that
the victim caught on fire, right?

Wrong.

It means the murderer
failed just as many times.

What?

What would happen if a carbon
dioxide laser beam hits a person?

An expert in metal processing can easily
guess the answer to that question.

The murderer wanted to execute that plan.

Why are you so quiet tonight?

Shut up!

Akari-Chan!

Why don't you love me?!

But...

He didn't succeed so easily.

The murderer re-calculated, -

analyzed his mistakes, -

and repeated the challenge.

The murderer had the image
of success in his mind.

The sight of the victim's body burning -

when a laser beam hits a human target.

The girl saw a red thread during
the night of the Tanabata Festival.

This means the murderer -

started firing lasers more
than three months ago.

And just as I have, -

he failed again and again, -

until he succeeded at last.

Simply put, there were
forty-two murder attempts.

Hey, -

why don't we try it from
the middle school's rooftop next time?

Good idea!
- Sneak into the school at night!

I'm in!

What if we get caught?
- Don't worry!

The security guard is
just some old fart.

If we get caught, we'll just
beat the crap outta...!

The man behind this case -

is terribly persistent and -

a cruel human being.

The river was shining
in blue, gold and white.

The river... was shining
in blue, gold and white.

Maple and locust trees were
losing most of their leaves, -

and warm sunlight was
leaking from these trees.

The sky was a clear, bright blue -

and there wasn't a single cloud to be seen.

It was a quiet, pure and
comfortable day in autumn.

On a day like this, -

all the good things that
happened during summer -

created a peaceful atmosphere, -

like a memory devoid of all worries.

At most, you'll get four
to five years in jail.

But, I don't think that's enough
time to repent for my crime.

You've honestly admitted to it, -

the judge will understand.

You really are a good actor.

Why so suddenly?

From the beginning, you
planned to kill him.

It was a premeditated murder.

It wasn't!

I never thought something
like that could...

It makes me want to kill myself!

What are you saying so suddenly?

How can a person who regrets
killing someone so much -

read so calmly afterwards?

The last chapter of "Beneath the Wheel."

That was recorded after
the incident, wasn't it?

Get out of here. I can handle this alone.

Wait a minute!
- Just go...

They were filthy trash.

He burned well for a filthy
piece of trash though.

So that's your true self!

An atom is composed of a positively
charged atomic nucleus -

and negatively charged electrons.

For example, -

if you, the one with a ponytail
over there, were a nucleus, -

then everyone around you
would be electrons.

By the way...

By the way, -

electrons far away from the nucleus...

Kanamori was prosecuted today.

Thank you for your assistance.

Kanamori?

Come on now.

You said you had no
interest in the murderer, -

yet you figured out everything!

Oh, that murderer?

I didn't figure anything out.

I've only made hypotheses from
a physic's point of view.

You love to force logic
into everything, don't you?

Just because he does
volunteer reading, -

he's a good person.
This isn't logical at all.

Am I poo, then?

Don't say such words while I'm eating.

If you were my student in class,
I'd surely give you a "D" grade.

D?
- Failure.

I can't believe his personality!

Hey, we have a group date tonight.

What's your name?

What's your major?

I'm a detective.

Welcome back.

You've got a lab class this afternoon.

Yes, I'll get ready for that.

She lost her parents and sister.

How unfortunate.

They were mistaken
as a mafia family next door.

Detective!

Look!

A girl miraculously survived.

She swore to catch every
single criminal in the world.

What's this?

Huh?

Ah!

It's an American drama
that's popular right now.

And she became a detective.

Don't move, I'm Clarice of the LAPD!

That's when I swore to become a detective.

I wanted to catch all
the criminals in the world!

What an unbelievable woman!
