Garireo (2007–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Fire Ball and the Perfect Locked Room Mystery - full transcript
Chapter 5
Fireball?
It's true.
As I woke up in the middle of the night,
there was light in the workshop.
So I looked out...
Your dad might have burnt something?
- I asked him.
He said, he didn't burn anything.
So, are you worried about your dad?
That's not it. Why should
I worry about that person?
It's okay. He said he would
be seeing a friend of his.
So, they should be drinking by now...
It doesn't matter.
4 days later
I'm in love, Sensei.
I'm really in love, I want
to be together all the time.
You are still a student.
That has nothing to do with it!
Taniguchi-kun...
Why can't you understand me?
Let's end this talk here.
I have an appointment with her.
Appointment? Wait a moment...
Is that ok?
- What do you mean?
To leave her like that.
She needs to cool down her head.
Women and men are 50/50.
You're also responsible, Yukawa-sensei.
- Why?
You're responsible for leading her on.
I am responsible?
Huh, you coward. You are a science
geek, and yet you are sly.
The coach of the Archery
Club complained to me.
Why are you changing the topic?
His athlete Hasebe seems to be in a slump.
I feel like I'm seeing
your real personality.
The relationship with Taniguchi-kun
seems to be the reason.
Taniguchi-kun?
The girl from earlier. The
two want to get married.
They are still too young, so
the parents and the coach are against it.
When I tried to convince her, she
instead pushed me to be on her side.
Naturally, I feel like I don't
want to be a part of it anymore.
Of course.
Why am I a coward?
Ah, I just thought it
was a scene between -
an associate professor
and a female student -
Sorry.
So, basically you jumped to a conclusion.
Indeed, I jumped to a conclusion.
If you say "jump to a conclusion"
out loud, it sounds cute somehow.
So you pestered me based
on the hasty conclusion?
Well, I've apologized, haven't I?
Why are women getting emotional so fast?
I can't understand at all.
Because there are too many
men who make us emotional.
Acting so superior, but dodging
your responsibilities.
There are only such "small men".
What did you come here for?
Excuse me. Actually there was
again a mysterious accident.
And you even brought troublesome matters.
- Please wait, Sensei.
No, I won't wait. I'm busy.
There was a murder
in a closed room, which ought -
to be impossible under
normal circumstances.
You are contradicting yourself. If
it happened, it is not impossible.
The circumstances of this
murder are unnatural.
I am not a specialist for murder cases.
It's something that can't
be solved by science...
That is beyond common sense...
At the crime scene
fireballs were witnessed.
Fireballs?
Did this awaken your interest?
So, I will take you to the crime scene.
I'll get an out-of-office notice.
Please wait in the parking lot.
Yes!
Three, days ago, on November 6th,
in room 618 of this hotel, -
the body of a murder victim was found.
The murder method is strangulation.
The reason -
of death was suffocation
due to being strangled.
The murder weapon has not been found yet...
Sensei!
The victim is Yajima Tadaaki, 39 years old.
He is the manager of a pension
(inn) in Nagano prefecture.
The presumed time of death
is November 5th around 6pm.
The victim checked in
on that day around 5pm, -
so he was murdered about an hour
after he entered the room.
It's really an old hotel. The door is
not automatically lockable, either.
The hotel was build in 1982.
The security seems to be low as well.
Everyone could easily enter at this level.
So, why is this a murder in a closed room?
That's according to
the testimony of eyewitnesses.
Ah, it's here.
November 5th 4:40pm
Before the victim checked in, -
there were workers repairing
the electric circuits in the hallway.
The repair took longer, and they were
staying there roughly for 3 hours.
During that time, only
the victim entered room 618.
In other words, at 6 pm
when he was murdered, -
at least, the murderer couldn't
have entered from the hallway.
The room has no place to
hide and has inset windows.
But there were coffee cups the victim and
the murderer drank from on this table.
There are signs that fingerprints were
wiped on several places in this room.
Were there fingerprints on the coffee cups?
Unfortunately, they were wiped clean.
Inside the victim's coffee was a sedative.
It seems the culprit strangled the victim -
after he fell asleep.
These ligature marks...
Is it that it was cut in so deep
because he was strangled too hard?
This wouldn't happen even if you
strangled someone really hard.
It looks like it got
scraped, rather than cut.
That's right, it is rather an abrasion.
If you press a rope
on the neck and pull it sideways...
It could become like this, maybe.
At this point, the way
this wound was caused -
or what ligature was used,
has not been identified.
And this is the biggest
mystery about this murder.
This is the proof of the fireballs?
The staff says, before
the incident, this was not here.
Also, when I was questioning
people around, -
an office worker who
works in that building -
said that he saw a fireball in this room.
That was around the same
time the victim died.
What did he say exactly?
He said, through
the curtains, it flew by like -
"whoosh, whoosh" and
went out right away.
The description is awfully childish.
I am telling you the way I heard it.
And this fireball left the burned stain?
Yes, probably.
And the victim died on this chair?
- No.
He died on the bed with
arms and legs extended.
What is it?
Could you lie down here for a bit?
- Huh?
I'm saying, lie down here. Quick!
It is creepy because
the corpse was lying here?
It's not that, but...
Ok, I get it.
What is it?
Do you have to stare like that?
It's enough.
You don't have any suspects at all?
Well, his wife Yajima
Takako has been marked.
He suddenly signed up for multiple life
insurance policies in the last few months.
Murder for insurance money...
But, she has a perfect alibi.
At the estimated time of death, -
she was seen grocery shopping
at the local supermarket.
From Nagano to here, it takes
three hours by car, so...
She can't possibly be the suspect.
The police are taking into
consideration that Yajima Takako -
hired a third person for the murder.
Her social network is currently -
being investigated.
Sensei?
You can't sleep here.
Sensei!
Interesting!
What is is?
Nothing.
I want to talk to that wife.
We can visit her at home, but -
going there and back takes six hours.
That's no problem for me.
Galileo
Strangulation
Timing and Subtitles brought to you
by Criminal Minds Team in @ viki
Sensei, you dozed off
for a minute earlier, right?
I didn't sleep, I was thinking.
You definitely slept.
I just closed my eyes.
Working on the research
paper seems tough.
On top of that, you must consult
students on love affairs.
You must be busy.
If you think so, I'd prefer if you didn't
ask for my help for investigations.
Students should not get married?
If you just let them do
as they please, that -
would lift one weight
off your shoulders.
Students getting married, that's reckless.
Eeeeh? That's a pretty old
fashioned way of thinking.
It's not a matter of old or new,
I am speaking about statistics.
Statistics?
People marrying early
and regretting it and -
people getting married
later and regretting it, -
it's a matter of which is more common.
If you're looking at life
in this way, is it any fun?
That's none of your business.
If I were you, I would tell them to
overcome the opposition and get married.
That's a immature and
irresponsible thought.
Please call it passionate and reckless.
Isn't that the same?
Like I said, I don't know
anything about that.
A fireball? The employee
must have seen that wrong.
Well, the police doesn't believe
it was a real fireball, either.
Akiho, go back.
- Akiho...
I just came to get some juice.
Well, I need to prepare dinner now, so...
Is there anything you would
like to ask, Yukawa-sensei?
I agree with you about the fireball.
That must have been a mistake, right?
Sorry for bothering you.
Around here the air is very clean. Did you
choose this place because of your daugther?
What?
There is an asthma inhalator.
My daughter has had asthma
since she was little.
Since we moved here, it
has gotten a lot better.
That's troublesome.
Especially at a time like this, please
take care care of her well-being.
Thank you very much.
Lastly, I'd like to ask you this.
On November 5th, -
around the time your husband died, you were
doing grocery shopping around here, right?
Yes.
When you came back home from
shopping, you stayed here?
Yes, I did.
- Also at night?
Yes.
When did you wake up the next morning?
- At 6:30 am.
At what time did your
daughter leave the house?
At 7am. The school is a little far.
What did you do after that?
Sensei, what is this about?
Do you remember what you
did on that day after 7am?
I was at home.
- By yourself?
Yes, I was. What about it?
I just wanted to confirm that. Excuse me.
I didn't know Galileo was that handsome.
But he's a weirdo, I tell you.
You seem to be down. Is
it because you had to -
listen to the talk
of heartbroken students?
I've had that too. When I am consulted
about rookie romance problems, -
it feels as bothersome
as having a hangover.
It's not like that.
But she asked you for help? That girl...
Taniguchi was her name, right?
Utsumi-san, I have a favor to ask.
She asked you to persuade
Yukawa Sensei to take her side.
She begged me, but it's
impossible, I think.
They should just quit
school and get married.
But the guy, he is aiming
for the Olympics in archery.
Eh? So the arrow with the golden tip
did not hit the aim, but the heart?
The arrow with the golden tip?
- Don't you know that?
Cupid has two kinds of arrows,
with golden and with lead tips.
If you're hit by the gold-tipped arrow,
you will feel vibrantly in love, but -
if you're hit by the lead-tipped arrow,
your love will turn into hatred.
I read those Greek mythologies about men
being hit by the gold-tipped arrow, -
who were chasing after women, who were
being hit by the lead-tipped arrow.
Please! If you are asking Yukawa
Sensei, he will surely help.
Why me?
Eh? Because you're dating him, aren't you?
Huh? Huh? Who is saying that?
It's well known in our department.
Utsumi-san comes all the time, -
and Yukawa Sensei is not
seeing anyone else.
Hey, there. Are you listening?
Ah... What is it?
Like I said, the person
who has fallen in love -
chases after the person
who has no interest.
It's not like I am chasing after him!
What are you talking about?
If we suspect that the wife is the culprit,
we should arrest her on a separate charge.
Once she is arrested,
the insurance money won't be approved -
for the time being. That
will ruin her plan at least.
We can't be sure yet she is the culprit.
You?
Who is this?
The daughter of Yajima-san.
I want to talk to you about something.
Talk?
My mother... is lying.
When she talked about the fireball, -
she said she had no idea
what it was about, but -
that was a lie.
What do you mean?
I talked to my mom about that, -
but she did not tell you that, right?
So, what does that mean?
I saw it, too. The fireball.
The night of the day before the accident.
Yukawa Sensei.
You are not focused. People can now
do archery in a quite stabel manner -
by using stabilizers and cushion plungers.
However, you still can't prevent
the arrow from meandering.
The bow string looks as if it were released
from your right hand in split of second.
But, while it slides on the fingers
that are gradually opening up, -
the arrow gets sideways vibration
because of unexpected force.
This is called the archer's paradox.
Isn't that right?
Yes.
To control the vibration of an arrow,
the moment when you release it, -
you need to concentrate all your
attention on the tip of your fingers.
But, right now, you're too distracted.
Distracted?
Are you saying that thinking about
marryiage is a distraction?
If it makes you lose
concentration on other things.
Get it together already!
Those idiots.
Things won't work out if you
decide to get married in a momentum.
Akira-chan, that is...
Excuse me, what's with you?
Like my parents, you'll
have a poor life and -
tell your kids how much struggle
you guys went through, right?
As a result, your kids will have
a twisted personality like me.
That is a quite rational opinion.
It was different.
Is that so. Next one please.
It wasn't like that.
Next one.
Not this one.
Next one.
It's not at all similar.
- Well, the next one.
Let's stop it already!
I will look for other possibilities.
Wasn't there anything else
that caught your attention?
Well... Before the fireball appeared, -
I think there was a sound.
A sound?
It sounded like 'boom' or 'bing'.
It was a small sound.
I don't understand. There
are too few clues.
I'm not here to know what
the fireball actually was.
Akiho-chan.
- Sensei, she is saying that, so...
Let's work on our research paper.
I'm just here to tell you that my
mother hid the fact about the fireball.
My mother has been acting strangely,
not just regarding the fireball,.
There must be something else that she's
hiding. Staying with her, I can tell -
that she has things that she wants
to hide from me and the police.
I guess my mother did...
It is not good to say
things based on assumption.
Jumping to conclusions without
verifying the facts is what fools do.
But!
- Why did the fireball appear?
And how is it related with the incident?
Unless you verify each fact, -
so that you won't miss even
the smallest factor, -
you shouldn't voice an opinion
that casts doubt on someone.
Don't let yourself sway with
the feeling for the moment.
It is not only I who is doubting her.
The police also thinks she is the culprit!
Akiho-chan, that's not really true...
Why don't you solve this case already?
If my mother is the culprit,
catch her immediately!
Akiho-chan?
What happened?
You don't have your medicine?
- W-What shall we do?
We need a doctor. I will get
a doctor from the medical office.
Breathe slowly. Bring me my coffee.
Caffeine opens up the bronchial tubes.
I understand.
Here you go.
Please drink this.
I'm so sorry
for the inconvenience she has caused.
Likewise.
She has never left her medicine before...
It might have happened because she
was worried about the incident.
Oh, right. May I please take a look?
Yes, please go ahead.
There are many things here.
Originally, my husband collected these -
so that our customers can experience these.
But we don't get many customers, so stores
in the town carry some products for us.
Is anything the matter with this place?
Nope, nothing.
Detective!
Akiho-chan, you should stay in bed.
Don't overexert yourself.
I'm okay.
What is it?
I hate this home.
This place too, as well as stained glass.
Everything.
Due to my health condition,
we came to live here.
They said that it was all for me.
That is so annoying.
So, I hate that person.
That person means your father?
- He is condescending, -
bad at planning ahead and poor.
I used to think he was the worst.
That's why we fought a lot.
I have even told him I wished he would die.
And then...
He really died.
Akiho-chan...
But, you know, -
my mom and that person
were on very good terms, -
so much so that I thought they were silly.
So, I... My mom...
I understand.
Thank you for telling me all of this.
Are you able to recall anything?
Please do, no matter how small.
I understand you want me
to recall something, -
but all I can say is that fire was flying.
I understand, thank you.
Excuse me, there is something
else that I would like to ask.
What is it?
You are sitting with window
behind your back, right?
How come were you staring
at the hotel then?
Well, that is... It just happened that way.
You always stare outside?
It is not like that.
Then why? Please try to recall.
I did not know you do archery.
A long time ago, I learned a little.
It wasn't archery but Japanese archery.
You did great, and that
made me feel ashamed.
Once you return to form,
you are better than I am.
Did you find anything else?
I got new information from an office
worker in the building on the other side.
On the day of the incident,
he saw the fireballs twice.
Twice?
First, he saw it fired up, so -
he kept looking at it
thinking maybe it was a fire.
In five minutes, there was
another fireball, he said.
Does this help at all?
I don't know yet.
Okay. I will see if I can dig up more.
I also want to check the place
where she saw the fireball.
I just completed my research paper anyway.
Yes.
Oh?
What is it?
Put your soul into every arrow.
That phrase...
I have seen it at Yajima-san's place.
In his stained glass workshop, -
the same poster was put up.
Really?
Yes, I thought it was a little
strange to find it there.
It seems fingerprints were wiped off.
I was home.
It was my mom...
- A fire ball...
It appeared twice.
So that's what happened.
Did you realize something?
Is this a strange conincidence?
No, this time, it's all thanks to you.
Eh? - Now I can see
the whole picture.
I see... What? The whole picture?
I am telling you that I solved
the mystery of Yajima-san's death.
Do you now know who killed
him and how it was done?
Yes, I need to prove that, though.
Who is the culprit?
- This is Yukawa.
What do you mean?
Yajima-san ended his own life.
In other words, it was suicide.
But, if it were suicide, he wouldn't
have been in that condition.
That is what we are going to test now.
Sensei, we managed to gather them all.
- Thank you very much.
Okay...
That is...
Excuse me.
Sensei, is this length good enough?
It will do.
Okay, now. Let's reproduce
what happened to Yajima-san.
Yes.
Let's start. After Yajima-san
took the sleeping pills, -
he lay on bed in the same
position as this mannequin.
This is a string that is used for Archery.
You should look into
Yajima-san's background.
He must have done
Archery before.
The phrase you saw "Put your soul
in every arrow" is used in Archery, right?
Right now, this bow has two strings.
One is short and is put
on the bow with high tension.
The other one is loose and
goes around the neck.
If the short one snaps, what will happen?
Of course the long one will be pulled.
That is right. However,
this string is very strong.
It is not easy
to cut it with a knife.
So, we place soldering irons here.
Soldering irons are used to
make stained glass, so -
you should be able to find one
at Yajima-san's workshop.
Strings are made with high density
polyethylene, so it is weak to heat.
That means it is easiest to
melt it to make is snap.
This is a timer outlet.
With this, you can set the time to send
electricity to the soldering irons.
Soon, electricity will be sent to one side.
It will be snapped.
This strangled his neck and it
caused him to die of suffocation.
That is the first fireball.
And, there is more.
This time, we set the time shorter.
Be careful.
This explains the second flying fireball -
and the cause of Yajima-san's death.
It is the same.
Because of the bow,
the string is pulled hard.
The abrasion on his neck
was caused by this.
And the fire on its end left
the burnt mark on the carpet.
Why would Yajima-san do this?
To make the suicide look like homicide.
Life insurance claims
won't be paid out for -
suicide if the policy is
less than a year old.
I just finished examining the case.
He was preparing for it carefully.
The night before the incident, he was
testing for one last time at his workshop.
Are they the fireballs that
Akiho-chan saw in the workshop?
It was all done to protect
the family and the house.
But, there was no device
like this at the site.
Somebody collected it. Probably his wife.
Do you mean that she
helped with the suicide?
For the sake of money, she
helped her husband die...
We don't know if that is true.
That's for you and the police to find out.
These are pieces of evidence
found in your closet.
Why did you do this?
You helped your husband commit suicide.
I didn't know about this.
Liar!
- It is not a lie!
If I had known he was
thinking of doing this, -
I would definitely have stopped him!
Public Phone
Hello?
Is this Takako?
What is it?
At about 10:00am the following day, -
he asked me to come to
his room in the hotel.
He told me not to tell Akiho and
make sure nobody would see me.
The next day, after seeing
Akiho off to school, -
I went to the hotel, as I was told.
The door was not locked,
and when I went in...
To Takako
Dear! Dear!
On his will, he asked
for forgiveness for not -
being able to protect
us except for this way.
Repeatedly...
Good-bye.
After that, -
I packed everything and wiped
off all the fingerprints...
I went home without anybody seeing me.
I spent an hour doing
what he instructed me to.
He wanted to protect the pension
(inn) that was our dream and -
Akiho, -
things that he wanted to protect
by putting his life on the line.
Takako-san. Your husband instructed
you to get rid of all the evidence.
This will and the tools... everything.
If you listened to the instruction,
your plan might have succeeded.
You're probably right.
Why didn't you dispose of them?
How could I?
That's his important memento.
This...
This is for you and the detective.
I am grateful for you two.
From now on, I will protect my mom.
I just can't stay being protected.
You're strong.
At a time like this, people would cry, -
but, maybe because I have being
seen my parents struggling, -
I have a warped personality.
You should regard
yourself as logical and -
constructive instead
of having a warped personality.
First of all, just because you grew
up seeing your parents struggle, -
it doesn't mean you will
have a warped personality.
I'm the proof.
My parents also had me when
they were young, and -
it was hard for them to raise me.
As you can see, I don't have
warped personality, right?
It looks like you do.
It is funny that people often say that.
Excuse me.
Sorry for intruding.
They talked it out and decided to
get married after they get a job.
I see. They were so ready for it though.
The prosecutor's office is not going
to prosecute Yajima Takako-san.
But she is going to lose
that pension after all.
She is going to file for bankruptcy
and debt consolidation, -
and she is going back to her
hometown with Akiho-chan.
There's one thing I would like to ask you.
When did you realize it was suicide?
At the hotel when I was listening to you.
Why, with only that much information?
Wasn't it weird that the fingerprints
on a coffee container were wiped off?
It'd have been much easier to
take it home and throw it away.
Oh.
One more thing. After giving
him sleeping pills, -
there was no reason to
lay him down on the bed.
He could have been killed on a chair if
he were to be killed while sleeping.
No one went into
the room except the victim.
Having considered it
as a murder in a locked room, -
you jumped to a conclusion, amazingly.
I jumped to a conclusion?
- Yeah, you sure did.
You still resent me about
the thing I said to you last time?
Talking about the time when you
called me a coward? No way.
You sure resent me.
You also told me that I am a small
person, but I don't care at all.
You actually don't attract girls, do you?
You changed the subject again.
How come there -
is no consistency
in your conversation?
When you want to change the subject, there
should be "by the way", "anyway" or -
"changing the subject", don't you think?
If you keep talking like
that, a lead-tipped -
arrow will be stuck
on you forever.
A lead-tipped arrow?
I guess it doesn't concern you.
If it doesn't concern me,
why do you tell me that?

Fireball?
It's true.
As I woke up in the middle of the night,
there was light in the workshop.
So I looked out...
Your dad might have burnt something?
- I asked him.
He said, he didn't burn anything.
So, are you worried about your dad?
That's not it. Why should
I worry about that person?
It's okay. He said he would
be seeing a friend of his.
So, they should be drinking by now...
It doesn't matter.
4 days later
I'm in love, Sensei.
I'm really in love, I want
to be together all the time.
You are still a student.
That has nothing to do with it!
Taniguchi-kun...
Why can't you understand me?
Let's end this talk here.
I have an appointment with her.
Appointment? Wait a moment...
Is that ok?
- What do you mean?
To leave her like that.
She needs to cool down her head.
Women and men are 50/50.
You're also responsible, Yukawa-sensei.
- Why?
You're responsible for leading her on.
I am responsible?
Huh, you coward. You are a science
geek, and yet you are sly.
The coach of the Archery
Club complained to me.
Why are you changing the topic?
His athlete Hasebe seems to be in a slump.
I feel like I'm seeing
your real personality.
The relationship with Taniguchi-kun
seems to be the reason.
Taniguchi-kun?
The girl from earlier. The
two want to get married.
They are still too young, so
the parents and the coach are against it.
When I tried to convince her, she
instead pushed me to be on her side.
Naturally, I feel like I don't
want to be a part of it anymore.
Of course.
Why am I a coward?
Ah, I just thought it
was a scene between -
an associate professor
and a female student -
Sorry.
So, basically you jumped to a conclusion.
Indeed, I jumped to a conclusion.
If you say "jump to a conclusion"
out loud, it sounds cute somehow.
So you pestered me based
on the hasty conclusion?
Well, I've apologized, haven't I?
Why are women getting emotional so fast?
I can't understand at all.
Because there are too many
men who make us emotional.
Acting so superior, but dodging
your responsibilities.
There are only such "small men".
What did you come here for?
Excuse me. Actually there was
again a mysterious accident.
And you even brought troublesome matters.
- Please wait, Sensei.
No, I won't wait. I'm busy.
There was a murder
in a closed room, which ought -
to be impossible under
normal circumstances.
You are contradicting yourself. If
it happened, it is not impossible.
The circumstances of this
murder are unnatural.
I am not a specialist for murder cases.
It's something that can't
be solved by science...
That is beyond common sense...
At the crime scene
fireballs were witnessed.
Fireballs?
Did this awaken your interest?
So, I will take you to the crime scene.
I'll get an out-of-office notice.
Please wait in the parking lot.
Yes!
Three, days ago, on November 6th,
in room 618 of this hotel, -
the body of a murder victim was found.
The murder method is strangulation.
The reason -
of death was suffocation
due to being strangled.
The murder weapon has not been found yet...
Sensei!
The victim is Yajima Tadaaki, 39 years old.
He is the manager of a pension
(inn) in Nagano prefecture.
The presumed time of death
is November 5th around 6pm.
The victim checked in
on that day around 5pm, -
so he was murdered about an hour
after he entered the room.
It's really an old hotel. The door is
not automatically lockable, either.
The hotel was build in 1982.
The security seems to be low as well.
Everyone could easily enter at this level.
So, why is this a murder in a closed room?
That's according to
the testimony of eyewitnesses.
Ah, it's here.
November 5th 4:40pm
Before the victim checked in, -
there were workers repairing
the electric circuits in the hallway.
The repair took longer, and they were
staying there roughly for 3 hours.
During that time, only
the victim entered room 618.
In other words, at 6 pm
when he was murdered, -
at least, the murderer couldn't
have entered from the hallway.
The room has no place to
hide and has inset windows.
But there were coffee cups the victim and
the murderer drank from on this table.
There are signs that fingerprints were
wiped on several places in this room.
Were there fingerprints on the coffee cups?
Unfortunately, they were wiped clean.
Inside the victim's coffee was a sedative.
It seems the culprit strangled the victim -
after he fell asleep.
These ligature marks...
Is it that it was cut in so deep
because he was strangled too hard?
This wouldn't happen even if you
strangled someone really hard.
It looks like it got
scraped, rather than cut.
That's right, it is rather an abrasion.
If you press a rope
on the neck and pull it sideways...
It could become like this, maybe.
At this point, the way
this wound was caused -
or what ligature was used,
has not been identified.
And this is the biggest
mystery about this murder.
This is the proof of the fireballs?
The staff says, before
the incident, this was not here.
Also, when I was questioning
people around, -
an office worker who
works in that building -
said that he saw a fireball in this room.
That was around the same
time the victim died.
What did he say exactly?
He said, through
the curtains, it flew by like -
"whoosh, whoosh" and
went out right away.
The description is awfully childish.
I am telling you the way I heard it.
And this fireball left the burned stain?
Yes, probably.
And the victim died on this chair?
- No.
He died on the bed with
arms and legs extended.
What is it?
Could you lie down here for a bit?
- Huh?
I'm saying, lie down here. Quick!
It is creepy because
the corpse was lying here?
It's not that, but...
Ok, I get it.
What is it?
Do you have to stare like that?
It's enough.
You don't have any suspects at all?
Well, his wife Yajima
Takako has been marked.
He suddenly signed up for multiple life
insurance policies in the last few months.
Murder for insurance money...
But, she has a perfect alibi.
At the estimated time of death, -
she was seen grocery shopping
at the local supermarket.
From Nagano to here, it takes
three hours by car, so...
She can't possibly be the suspect.
The police are taking into
consideration that Yajima Takako -
hired a third person for the murder.
Her social network is currently -
being investigated.
Sensei?
You can't sleep here.
Sensei!
Interesting!
What is is?
Nothing.
I want to talk to that wife.
We can visit her at home, but -
going there and back takes six hours.
That's no problem for me.
Galileo
Strangulation
Timing and Subtitles brought to you
by Criminal Minds Team in @ viki
Sensei, you dozed off
for a minute earlier, right?
I didn't sleep, I was thinking.
You definitely slept.
I just closed my eyes.
Working on the research
paper seems tough.
On top of that, you must consult
students on love affairs.
You must be busy.
If you think so, I'd prefer if you didn't
ask for my help for investigations.
Students should not get married?
If you just let them do
as they please, that -
would lift one weight
off your shoulders.
Students getting married, that's reckless.
Eeeeh? That's a pretty old
fashioned way of thinking.
It's not a matter of old or new,
I am speaking about statistics.
Statistics?
People marrying early
and regretting it and -
people getting married
later and regretting it, -
it's a matter of which is more common.
If you're looking at life
in this way, is it any fun?
That's none of your business.
If I were you, I would tell them to
overcome the opposition and get married.
That's a immature and
irresponsible thought.
Please call it passionate and reckless.
Isn't that the same?
Like I said, I don't know
anything about that.
A fireball? The employee
must have seen that wrong.
Well, the police doesn't believe
it was a real fireball, either.
Akiho, go back.
- Akiho...
I just came to get some juice.
Well, I need to prepare dinner now, so...
Is there anything you would
like to ask, Yukawa-sensei?
I agree with you about the fireball.
That must have been a mistake, right?
Sorry for bothering you.
Around here the air is very clean. Did you
choose this place because of your daugther?
What?
There is an asthma inhalator.
My daughter has had asthma
since she was little.
Since we moved here, it
has gotten a lot better.
That's troublesome.
Especially at a time like this, please
take care care of her well-being.
Thank you very much.
Lastly, I'd like to ask you this.
On November 5th, -
around the time your husband died, you were
doing grocery shopping around here, right?
Yes.
When you came back home from
shopping, you stayed here?
Yes, I did.
- Also at night?
Yes.
When did you wake up the next morning?
- At 6:30 am.
At what time did your
daughter leave the house?
At 7am. The school is a little far.
What did you do after that?
Sensei, what is this about?
Do you remember what you
did on that day after 7am?
I was at home.
- By yourself?
Yes, I was. What about it?
I just wanted to confirm that. Excuse me.
I didn't know Galileo was that handsome.
But he's a weirdo, I tell you.
You seem to be down. Is
it because you had to -
listen to the talk
of heartbroken students?
I've had that too. When I am consulted
about rookie romance problems, -
it feels as bothersome
as having a hangover.
It's not like that.
But she asked you for help? That girl...
Taniguchi was her name, right?
Utsumi-san, I have a favor to ask.
She asked you to persuade
Yukawa Sensei to take her side.
She begged me, but it's
impossible, I think.
They should just quit
school and get married.
But the guy, he is aiming
for the Olympics in archery.
Eh? So the arrow with the golden tip
did not hit the aim, but the heart?
The arrow with the golden tip?
- Don't you know that?
Cupid has two kinds of arrows,
with golden and with lead tips.
If you're hit by the gold-tipped arrow,
you will feel vibrantly in love, but -
if you're hit by the lead-tipped arrow,
your love will turn into hatred.
I read those Greek mythologies about men
being hit by the gold-tipped arrow, -
who were chasing after women, who were
being hit by the lead-tipped arrow.
Please! If you are asking Yukawa
Sensei, he will surely help.
Why me?
Eh? Because you're dating him, aren't you?
Huh? Huh? Who is saying that?
It's well known in our department.
Utsumi-san comes all the time, -
and Yukawa Sensei is not
seeing anyone else.
Hey, there. Are you listening?
Ah... What is it?
Like I said, the person
who has fallen in love -
chases after the person
who has no interest.
It's not like I am chasing after him!
What are you talking about?
If we suspect that the wife is the culprit,
we should arrest her on a separate charge.
Once she is arrested,
the insurance money won't be approved -
for the time being. That
will ruin her plan at least.
We can't be sure yet she is the culprit.
You?
Who is this?
The daughter of Yajima-san.
I want to talk to you about something.
Talk?
My mother... is lying.
When she talked about the fireball, -
she said she had no idea
what it was about, but -
that was a lie.
What do you mean?
I talked to my mom about that, -
but she did not tell you that, right?
So, what does that mean?
I saw it, too. The fireball.
The night of the day before the accident.
Yukawa Sensei.
You are not focused. People can now
do archery in a quite stabel manner -
by using stabilizers and cushion plungers.
However, you still can't prevent
the arrow from meandering.
The bow string looks as if it were released
from your right hand in split of second.
But, while it slides on the fingers
that are gradually opening up, -
the arrow gets sideways vibration
because of unexpected force.
This is called the archer's paradox.
Isn't that right?
Yes.
To control the vibration of an arrow,
the moment when you release it, -
you need to concentrate all your
attention on the tip of your fingers.
But, right now, you're too distracted.
Distracted?
Are you saying that thinking about
marryiage is a distraction?
If it makes you lose
concentration on other things.
Get it together already!
Those idiots.
Things won't work out if you
decide to get married in a momentum.
Akira-chan, that is...
Excuse me, what's with you?
Like my parents, you'll
have a poor life and -
tell your kids how much struggle
you guys went through, right?
As a result, your kids will have
a twisted personality like me.
That is a quite rational opinion.
It was different.
Is that so. Next one please.
It wasn't like that.
Next one.
Not this one.
Next one.
It's not at all similar.
- Well, the next one.
Let's stop it already!
I will look for other possibilities.
Wasn't there anything else
that caught your attention?
Well... Before the fireball appeared, -
I think there was a sound.
A sound?
It sounded like 'boom' or 'bing'.
It was a small sound.
I don't understand. There
are too few clues.
I'm not here to know what
the fireball actually was.
Akiho-chan.
- Sensei, she is saying that, so...
Let's work on our research paper.
I'm just here to tell you that my
mother hid the fact about the fireball.
My mother has been acting strangely,
not just regarding the fireball,.
There must be something else that she's
hiding. Staying with her, I can tell -
that she has things that she wants
to hide from me and the police.
I guess my mother did...
It is not good to say
things based on assumption.
Jumping to conclusions without
verifying the facts is what fools do.
But!
- Why did the fireball appear?
And how is it related with the incident?
Unless you verify each fact, -
so that you won't miss even
the smallest factor, -
you shouldn't voice an opinion
that casts doubt on someone.
Don't let yourself sway with
the feeling for the moment.
It is not only I who is doubting her.
The police also thinks she is the culprit!
Akiho-chan, that's not really true...
Why don't you solve this case already?
If my mother is the culprit,
catch her immediately!
Akiho-chan?
What happened?
You don't have your medicine?
- W-What shall we do?
We need a doctor. I will get
a doctor from the medical office.
Breathe slowly. Bring me my coffee.
Caffeine opens up the bronchial tubes.
I understand.
Here you go.
Please drink this.
I'm so sorry
for the inconvenience she has caused.
Likewise.
She has never left her medicine before...
It might have happened because she
was worried about the incident.
Oh, right. May I please take a look?
Yes, please go ahead.
There are many things here.
Originally, my husband collected these -
so that our customers can experience these.
But we don't get many customers, so stores
in the town carry some products for us.
Is anything the matter with this place?
Nope, nothing.
Detective!
Akiho-chan, you should stay in bed.
Don't overexert yourself.
I'm okay.
What is it?
I hate this home.
This place too, as well as stained glass.
Everything.
Due to my health condition,
we came to live here.
They said that it was all for me.
That is so annoying.
So, I hate that person.
That person means your father?
- He is condescending, -
bad at planning ahead and poor.
I used to think he was the worst.
That's why we fought a lot.
I have even told him I wished he would die.
And then...
He really died.
Akiho-chan...
But, you know, -
my mom and that person
were on very good terms, -
so much so that I thought they were silly.
So, I... My mom...
I understand.
Thank you for telling me all of this.
Are you able to recall anything?
Please do, no matter how small.
I understand you want me
to recall something, -
but all I can say is that fire was flying.
I understand, thank you.
Excuse me, there is something
else that I would like to ask.
What is it?
You are sitting with window
behind your back, right?
How come were you staring
at the hotel then?
Well, that is... It just happened that way.
You always stare outside?
It is not like that.
Then why? Please try to recall.
I did not know you do archery.
A long time ago, I learned a little.
It wasn't archery but Japanese archery.
You did great, and that
made me feel ashamed.
Once you return to form,
you are better than I am.
Did you find anything else?
I got new information from an office
worker in the building on the other side.
On the day of the incident,
he saw the fireballs twice.
Twice?
First, he saw it fired up, so -
he kept looking at it
thinking maybe it was a fire.
In five minutes, there was
another fireball, he said.
Does this help at all?
I don't know yet.
Okay. I will see if I can dig up more.
I also want to check the place
where she saw the fireball.
I just completed my research paper anyway.
Yes.
Oh?
What is it?
Put your soul into every arrow.
That phrase...
I have seen it at Yajima-san's place.
In his stained glass workshop, -
the same poster was put up.
Really?
Yes, I thought it was a little
strange to find it there.
It seems fingerprints were wiped off.
I was home.
It was my mom...
- A fire ball...
It appeared twice.
So that's what happened.
Did you realize something?
Is this a strange conincidence?
No, this time, it's all thanks to you.
Eh? - Now I can see
the whole picture.
I see... What? The whole picture?
I am telling you that I solved
the mystery of Yajima-san's death.
Do you now know who killed
him and how it was done?
Yes, I need to prove that, though.
Who is the culprit?
- This is Yukawa.
What do you mean?
Yajima-san ended his own life.
In other words, it was suicide.
But, if it were suicide, he wouldn't
have been in that condition.
That is what we are going to test now.
Sensei, we managed to gather them all.
- Thank you very much.
Okay...
That is...
Excuse me.
Sensei, is this length good enough?
It will do.
Okay, now. Let's reproduce
what happened to Yajima-san.
Yes.
Let's start. After Yajima-san
took the sleeping pills, -
he lay on bed in the same
position as this mannequin.
This is a string that is used for Archery.
You should look into
Yajima-san's background.
He must have done
Archery before.
The phrase you saw "Put your soul
in every arrow" is used in Archery, right?
Right now, this bow has two strings.
One is short and is put
on the bow with high tension.
The other one is loose and
goes around the neck.
If the short one snaps, what will happen?
Of course the long one will be pulled.
That is right. However,
this string is very strong.
It is not easy
to cut it with a knife.
So, we place soldering irons here.
Soldering irons are used to
make stained glass, so -
you should be able to find one
at Yajima-san's workshop.
Strings are made with high density
polyethylene, so it is weak to heat.
That means it is easiest to
melt it to make is snap.
This is a timer outlet.
With this, you can set the time to send
electricity to the soldering irons.
Soon, electricity will be sent to one side.
It will be snapped.
This strangled his neck and it
caused him to die of suffocation.
That is the first fireball.
And, there is more.
This time, we set the time shorter.
Be careful.
This explains the second flying fireball -
and the cause of Yajima-san's death.
It is the same.
Because of the bow,
the string is pulled hard.
The abrasion on his neck
was caused by this.
And the fire on its end left
the burnt mark on the carpet.
Why would Yajima-san do this?
To make the suicide look like homicide.
Life insurance claims
won't be paid out for -
suicide if the policy is
less than a year old.
I just finished examining the case.
He was preparing for it carefully.
The night before the incident, he was
testing for one last time at his workshop.
Are they the fireballs that
Akiho-chan saw in the workshop?
It was all done to protect
the family and the house.
But, there was no device
like this at the site.
Somebody collected it. Probably his wife.
Do you mean that she
helped with the suicide?
For the sake of money, she
helped her husband die...
We don't know if that is true.
That's for you and the police to find out.
These are pieces of evidence
found in your closet.
Why did you do this?
You helped your husband commit suicide.
I didn't know about this.
Liar!
- It is not a lie!
If I had known he was
thinking of doing this, -
I would definitely have stopped him!
Public Phone
Hello?
Is this Takako?
What is it?
At about 10:00am the following day, -
he asked me to come to
his room in the hotel.
He told me not to tell Akiho and
make sure nobody would see me.
The next day, after seeing
Akiho off to school, -
I went to the hotel, as I was told.
The door was not locked,
and when I went in...
To Takako
Dear! Dear!
On his will, he asked
for forgiveness for not -
being able to protect
us except for this way.
Repeatedly...
Good-bye.
After that, -
I packed everything and wiped
off all the fingerprints...
I went home without anybody seeing me.
I spent an hour doing
what he instructed me to.
He wanted to protect the pension
(inn) that was our dream and -
Akiho, -
things that he wanted to protect
by putting his life on the line.
Takako-san. Your husband instructed
you to get rid of all the evidence.
This will and the tools... everything.
If you listened to the instruction,
your plan might have succeeded.
You're probably right.
Why didn't you dispose of them?
How could I?
That's his important memento.
This...
This is for you and the detective.
I am grateful for you two.
From now on, I will protect my mom.
I just can't stay being protected.
You're strong.
At a time like this, people would cry, -
but, maybe because I have being
seen my parents struggling, -
I have a warped personality.
You should regard
yourself as logical and -
constructive instead
of having a warped personality.
First of all, just because you grew
up seeing your parents struggle, -
it doesn't mean you will
have a warped personality.
I'm the proof.
My parents also had me when
they were young, and -
it was hard for them to raise me.
As you can see, I don't have
warped personality, right?
It looks like you do.
It is funny that people often say that.
Excuse me.
Sorry for intruding.
They talked it out and decided to
get married after they get a job.
I see. They were so ready for it though.
The prosecutor's office is not going
to prosecute Yajima Takako-san.
But she is going to lose
that pension after all.
She is going to file for bankruptcy
and debt consolidation, -
and she is going back to her
hometown with Akiho-chan.
There's one thing I would like to ask you.
When did you realize it was suicide?
At the hotel when I was listening to you.
Why, with only that much information?
Wasn't it weird that the fingerprints
on a coffee container were wiped off?
It'd have been much easier to
take it home and throw it away.
Oh.
One more thing. After giving
him sleeping pills, -
there was no reason to
lay him down on the bed.
He could have been killed on a chair if
he were to be killed while sleeping.
No one went into
the room except the victim.
Having considered it
as a murder in a locked room, -
you jumped to a conclusion, amazingly.
I jumped to a conclusion?
- Yeah, you sure did.
You still resent me about
the thing I said to you last time?
Talking about the time when you
called me a coward? No way.
You sure resent me.
You also told me that I am a small
person, but I don't care at all.
You actually don't attract girls, do you?
You changed the subject again.
How come there -
is no consistency
in your conversation?
When you want to change the subject, there
should be "by the way", "anyway" or -
"changing the subject", don't you think?
If you keep talking like
that, a lead-tipped -
arrow will be stuck
on you forever.
A lead-tipped arrow?
I guess it doesn't concern you.
If it doesn't concern me,
why do you tell me that?
