October 13, 20:16
Tochigi prefecture, Lake Ryujin
Hey, what kind of joke is this?
Hey!
Oh, gimme a break. I can't swim!
Hey! What are you doing?!
Come back! Fujikawa!
What is that?
Dragon?
Kaizuka Kita Second High School
11/23, 11:06 Ota-ku, Tokyo
Next is a case that you get picked
on by delinquents in the city.
Crime Prevention
by Kaizuka Kita Police Station
If you provoke them, they can be dangerous.
They may have knives.
Some of them become relentless
if you try to resist them.
So, when you get picked
on by delinquents, -
what you should do is...
Hey, what the hell are you?
Give me money, you scum.
I'm sorry. I don't have money.
Don't joke with me. Try jumping. Jump.
I won't forgive you if I hear coins jingle.
I got it.
Please spare me with this.
You should've done so in the first place.
If you do that, you won't
get hurt most of the time.
After that, try to remember what they look
like and go to the nearest police station.
Then the police will quickly...
I can't do this.
- Hey, Yuge-san.
Well, there is nobody here.
What's going on, teacher?
I'm sorry. The students'
participation is voluntary.
I guess they won't participate -
on a day when they're
having the school festival.
How stupid. Such a waste of time.
It can't be helped. This
is part of our job.
It looks so real that it's scary.
Please excuse us.
"Death mask of a zombie"
What's this?
Hey, do you know who made this?
It's Yamabe-kun from art club, isn't it?
- Yes.
Is that so? Thank you.
What's wrong, Utsumi?
Yuge-san, don't you think this is too real?
Well if you mention it, it is well made.
You know how there are
expressions peculiar to corpses?
Is it called shadow of death?
I feel like this mask has that.
Of course not. It's just a middle
school student's creation.
Please excuse me.
Right this way, Fujikawa-san.
This...
is Yuichi.
As I thought. Are you sure?
This is Yuichi.
Teacher! I brought Yamabe-kun.
What is it?
- Yamabe-kun, how did you make this?
Just a second...
I used this as a model.
I picked it up at the pond
in the nature park the other day.
I thought it was well-made so...
Three days later And at the bottom
of the pond in the nature park, -
they found a corpse.
Corpse?
It was that of Fujikawa
Yuichi-san, 33 years old.
He was a man that lived alone in Tokyo.
He couldn't be contacted
since a month ago, -
and the mother asked
the police to search for him.
Fujikawa-san was shot in the head, -
so he was killed by someone for sure.
And? The shape of his face was in the pond?
A middle school student picked it
up and created the plaster mask.
Coincidentally, one
of the teachers in the -
middle school was
a friend of Fujikawa-san, -
and she was stunned, seeing it.
It's well made.
Even the bullet wound looks very real.
It's exactly like a zombie's death mask.
How could the face mold be there?
It's definitely because of a grudge. He let
people know "I sunk to the bottom here."
His strong grudge shaped
the aluminum plate like that.
Kuribayashi-san.
Do you think we would believe
something like that?
I don't believe in grudges.
Isn't it a scientist's job to
scientifically unravel strange phenomena?
How interesting.
Before calling it a grudge
and getting scared, -
why don't you try thinking
like Yukawa-sensei?
I have no clue.
That's why Kuribayashi-san is...
Don't say 'forever an assistant'.
It's not a grudge. Impossible.
It just coincidentally stuck
to the corpse's face.
Crucian carps, carps,
or diving beetles in the -
lake must've poked it
until the shape changed.
I don't think it's the crucian
carp or carp's doing, -
but there must've been a physical power -
that turned it into the shape of a face.
You guys, please help me out a little.
- Yes.
Kuribayashi-san, sit down there.
Sit?
- Right there.
What is it? Am I gonna be experimen...
- Just sit down.
Why are you bossing me
around when you're younger?
Please take the shape
of Kuribayashi-san's face.
Sure.
- Don't hesitate. Go ahead.
Then shall we try pressing it on his face?
I guess so.
- Don't make it painful.
Okay. Please excuse me.
- What is it?
That hurts!
Don't move around!
Kobu-san, please hold the other side.
Wait. - I'm suffocating!
- Don't move.
I'm suffocating.
- Don't move!
That's it. Don't move.
Please stay still!
How is it?
- I think that's enough.
It doesn't work.
The skin is too weak that it
can't withstand the pressure.
For a second I saw a garden...
I wonder what it was.
Maybe it would work if
it was a dead person.
Rigor mortis.
- Rigor mortis?!
We can't test it unless he dies.
That's true.
- Please spare me.
And even if it is rigor mortis, -
it's not like it will get rock hard.
It would be impossible to take
the shape of the face this precisely.
Then how did it turn out like this?
I have no idea.
- There is no need to know.
Sensei, you're cooperating
with the police way too much.
Don't spoil her too much, she needs
to think, it's for her own good.
But Teito University isn't
completely unrelated to this case.
What do you mean?
The victim, Fujikawa-san, -
is an alumni of this university.
Eh?
- No way...
He majored in nuclear engineering.
Nuclear engineering?
Yeah, ten years ago.
That major doesn't exist here anymore.
- Eh?
It's called energy engineering now.
The professor from back then
doesn't work here anymore right?
He quit a long time ago.
That professor is...
- Sensei!
Isn't it enough?
Kijima Seishiro.
Kijima Seishiro?

November 26, 14:30, Tokyo, Ota
This nature park -
is a place with endless illgal dumping
of scraps and oversize garbages.
It seems volunteers and
waste management service -
agents clean it up
once in a while, but -
it seems like it's
difficult to clear it up.
The materials for the mask
was a scrap found here.
We're currently trying to find
which company threw it away.
Japanese people don't have morals.
How can they make a mess
out of nature like this?
It's not limited to Japan.
There are cases of radioactive waste
being thrown away in oceans and rivers.
Even with the development
of technological civilization, -
as long as the hearts of people
using them don't evolve as well, -
this will continue.
Is it only about the people who use it?
I think scientists who take part
in science also have responsibility.
Scientists are just pure.
Otherwise they won't have
dramatic inspiration.
What a selfish logic.
Irresponsible thinking like that is
the cause of environmental pollution -
or other things that are bad to our soci...
- Tell me the overview of the case.
For now, all we know is that
the victim was killed between -
October 21, 3:30PM and November 1.
October 21, 11:15AM
On the morning of October 21, -
the caretaker
of the apartment saw the victim.
Hey Fujikawa-san!
Don't I always tell you to
think about the neighbors?!
Fujikawa-san's hobby is to ride his bike, -
and the caretaker has been irritated
by the noise caused by it.
October 21, 16:03 On the same
day, he made a call to his house.
Dad keeps adding more work... Oh.
His family members weren't home
so it was just a voice-mail.
October 21, -
3:31PM
It's Yuichi. I heard your voice-mail.
I think I can go back
for Grandpa's 3rd death anniversary.
I will call again later.
After that, his mother was unable
to contact him and got worried, -
so she visited his house, -
and found out he was missing.
What do you mean he was
killed by November 1st?
That is the day the middle school
student picked up the mask here.
It seems like the victim was shot dead,
but was it a rifle that was used?
Rifle? No... It's 41 caliber handgun.
Do people hunt in this nature park?
Hunt?
I'm talking about shooting (hunting).
Do you know if hunters use
rifles around this area?
No way. That's not allowed around here.
I would think so.
Why do you ask?
Well...
- Please tell me.
I'm still in the hypothesis stage.
That again?
It might be a hint so let me hear it.
Yeah, I'm not full
of knowledge like you, but...
Your phone is ringing.
We're investigating together,
so can't you tell me...
Hurry up and answer your phone.
I know!
It's Utsumi.
What?
Sensei!
They found out something new
about Fujikawa-san's corpse.
It all started when I saw
the result of his blood test.
The lymphocyte in his blood,
decreased abnormally.
And when I looked at it closely, I noticed.
What is it?
A picture of Fujikawa-san's nail.
It's about to peel off
after being decomposed.
Do you see it? Hyperplasia
occurred, although it is a bit.
Hyperplasia?
It mean's it got thicker.
And then I got an idea
so I looked it up. Look.
This is...
- What?
The result of ESR.
ESR?
It's the result of measuring radiation
accumulated in the dental enamel -
using the electron spin resonance method.
I'll just tell you the result
first, Fujikawa-san was -
exposed to radiation.
Exposed to radiation?!
I was surprised as well.
I'm glad I looked it up.
What was Fujikawa-san's job?
After graduating university,
he worked for a company -
that deals with
medical equipments.
Could it have been a job that
exposed him to radiation?
This is his detailed hemanalysis.
Natrium 24...
Yeah, you don't see this often.
Sorry for interrupting so many times, but -
what is that something 24?
It means there is a possibility
he was exposed to neutron rays.
There are many industries that
deal with radiation, but -
when it comes to newtron
rays, it is limited.
Maybe something that has
to do with nuclear power?
Or a research facility
of a university or some company.
Wonderful. This is
the first time I was able -
to have a smooth
conversation with a man.
Even so, these numbers aren't normal.
Even if it was a job that
deals with nuclear power, -
it goes way over the limit.
You're right.
Fujikawa-san is from the same
university as Yukawa-sensei, right?
He majored in nuclear power engineering.
I wonder if that has
something to do with it.
I don't know.
What do you think, Yukawa-sensei?
- I have no idea.
See, even Yukawa-sensei doesn't understand.
This time, we're full
of things we don't understand.
What do you mean "we"?
T-there's no deep meaning behind it.
Right, Yukawa-sensei?
Be quiet.
Sorry.
The place Fujikawa-san worked was -
a supplier of medical equipments
called KS Medical Engineering.
Is it possible he got exposed
to radiation during work?
I don't know unless I look it up.
But the founder of this company is -
the former professor of Teito
University's nuclear engineering, -
Kijima Seishiro-san.
He created this company after
quitting the university, but -
if you think about it
normally, it means he -
offered the job to his
former student right?
But Fujikawa-san -
suddenly quit this company.
It seems like there was trouble
between him and Kijima-san.
Say something!
- Fujikawa-kun!
October 16, 21:30
5 days before he disappeared, -
in front
of Kijima-san's house, -
Fuijkawa-san was yelling
at Kijima-san, according to a witness.
Then, instead of me,
shouldn't you go see Kijima?
I did, but he wasn't there.
He's been overseas?
Since last week. Kijima goes back and
forth from Japan to other countries.
He must be busy. When is he coming back?
He's scheduled to come back
on the 7th of next month.
Sorry if I sound rude but...
I'm his secretary, Hozumi.
Kijima works here often as well, so -
he gave me permission to
come here when I need to.
You're his secretary? I was surprised.
I thought you were his
young and beautiful wife.
What is your first name?
It's Kyoko.
That's my favorite name!
Between October 21 and November 1, -
where was Kijima-san?
Talk about something like that
after we get a little closer.
On October 21...
He headed for America the day before.
He came back on November 5th.
So during that time he wasn't in Japan?
Is there something wrong with that?
No, that's all. Thank you.
You're accusing Kijima-sensei?
There is a need to verify if
there was trouble between them.
I'm thinking of visiting him
again once he comes back.
Before that, I wanted to ask Yukawa-sensei
what kind of person he was.
I'm sorry, but I'm busy.
What's wrong?
You're behaving strangely.
You're always strange, but
it's different from usual.
Shouldn't you go back to investigating?
Yukawa-sensei.
When I ask you to help me
out with investigating, -
you always blabber out
meaningless logic don't you?
On the contrary, for information I need,
you say 'It's in the hypothesis stage'.
And you don't tell me anything.
I'm always pissed off about that.
But, -
there is one thing that impresses me.
You, -
never let your feelings get in the way.
But it's different this time.
I don't know how to put it, -
but I feel like you're
putting your emotions first.
It's something that has
nothing to do with this case.
It might affect the investigation.
- It's not something I should tell you.
I want to know even if it has
nothing to do with the case.
When you look like that, -
I can't help but get curious.
That's your personal feeling.
I'm sorry, but -
please go home for today.
I will verify the mystery of the mask.
I understand.
I'll be leaving.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you
by Criminal Minds Team in @ viki
Kusanagi Shunpei
Thank you for your hard work.
Kusanagi-san!
Great timing.
Did something happen?
There was a troublesome request
from Tochigi prefectural police.
Tochigi prefectural police?
Is it something related to
a case in our jurisdiction?
Do you know about the explosion that
happened a month and a half ago, -
at Tochigi's Lake Ryujin?
The media was all over that incident
calling it a "Mysterious Big Explosion".
We don't know if it was an accident
or if someone did it on purpose.
We don't even know
the cause for the explosion.
October 13, 21:45
Tochigi Prefecture, Lake Ryujin
There were no explosive substances found, -
the only thing we found was small
pieces of the boat that exploded, and -
small pieces of an adult male's flesh.
The medical examiner there
examined the flesh -
and we found out something unexpected.
He was exposed to radiation.
Exposed to radiation?
To add on to that, there was a sign
he was exposed to neutron rays.
It's the same as Fujikawa-san?
Yeah.
The prefectural police
were looking into the -
people missing around
the prefecture, and also -
went to get information from
the nuclear power related facilities.
But they were all swing and misses.
Then over here, they found
Fujikawa's corpse, -
and to add on to that, we found
out he was exposed to radiation.
That's why they thought there was
a connection between the two.
Connection?
But we don't even know when and where
Fujikawa was exposed to radiation.
If there was a connection
between the two victims, -
then we might be able to solve the mystery
behind their exposure to radiation.
Yeah, that's why we're checking -
if there is anyone else that
disappeared around Fujikawa.
They're really desperate.
They still haven't been able
to identify the victim.
I understand. I will look into it again.
It's something troublesome, but
please investigate it carefully.
Yes.
Okay. Let's go Utsumi.
Wait, Utsumi.
Did something happen to Yukawa?
Why do you ask?
- I called him before coming here.
I wanted to ask for some advice about
the explosion at Lake Ryujin, -
but he seemed down.
He didn't seem like himself.
I was curious as well and
asked him about it, -
but he wouldn't answer.
Is that so?
What is that, Sensei?
Kusanagi told me on the phone
about this account of the event.
A legend about a dragon?
Oh, about the explosion
in Tochigi Prefecture?
The one that came out
in the news a while ago.
Yup.
- Eh? Does that mean -
they asked you to exterminate the monster?
Sensei, when they say stupid things
like that, you should tell them off!
A dragon -
is really illogical.
I can't believe that such
imaginary things exist.
According to Kusanagi's
report, there wasn't -
a trace of anything left
after the explosion.
Those cops just come up with
one thing after another.
And also, the victim here -
had been exposed to radiation too.
Just like the victim
in the death mask case.
That kind of thing is just a coincidence.
That may be so, but the fact that nothing
could be found after the explosion...
Sensei!
Wouldn't it be better to stop
collaborating with the police?
You'd better withdraw, especially
with the event this time.
What I say might be meddling, but -
it might be better not to
recall unpleasant things.
I don't know how he might be -
related to this event, -
but I want to thoroughly investigate
the mystery of the mask.
Besides, the mystery
of the explosion is fascinating...
Then if Kijima-sensei is involved
in this, what would you do?
There are some things in life that -
you'd better forget about.
I am sorry to bother you while working.
I am from Kaizuka Kita Police Station.
Have you seen this person?
I don't think I have seen him at our store.
I see.
Did you speak about something with
Fujikawa-san at the end of October?
No... He has paid the rent up to December.
It's been paid?
- Yes.
So you saw him every morning?
- Yes.
But, when I think about it now,
I haven't seen him recently.
Have you noticed anything
when you saw him last?
You guys are here again.
Isn't this too much?
Any little thing helps. Can you think
of anything else about Fujikawa-san?
You can see that I am busy, can't you?
Thank you.
This lake is very filthy, right?
Fishes can't even live here.
It was a beautiful place in the past.
Doesn't matter how much I clean
up, people just bring more.
Actually it is not too bad today.
People have been tossing things
that cost money to dispose.
Are you from Waste Management?
Yes, but cleaning around
the lake is done by volunteers.
Someone has to do it.
What about you?
I haven't seen you arond here.
My name is Yukawa.
I am researching about the murder case
that the dead body was found here.
Wow, you are a professor
at Teito University?
I would like to see things
that was left here.
Why would you want to see them?
Is that going to -
help you research a way to
prevent any more trash?
No, it is about the case...
Before you take a look at trash, -
can you do something
about this filthy lake?
You people research
on things very difficult and -
create some things to make
our lives easy, right?
You're saying enriching our lives
is one of the purposes of science?
This mess is what we get in exchange
for getting enriched lives, huh?
No matter how convenient our lives get, -
if we people are stupid,
it it can't be helped.
Why am I telling this to a scientist?
I guess I am too old for this. Hey, -
can you help me here
instead of watching me?
Yes.
In return, I will show you
all the trash that is -
at my company.
What are you doing? Help me out here.
Yes.
Here you go. That's good.
Are you surprised? These
have been all dumped.
This is awful.
Sometimes government people or scholars
come for the environmental research.
Everybody get surprised. They must
have known this from books, -
but I guess they rarely see the reality.
It is not like they do
anything even if they come.
But I always tell them.
"This will make our life easier" or -
"This kind of tools come
in handy" is not good enough.
You see? Of course, people
who trash these are bad.
However, if they are so smart, -
"If we create this, it will
create more trash" or -
"This might affect
the world in a bad way".
Like that, we need to
think about it together.
Then they can call themselves smart.
You are right.
Thank you for helping me today.
Hey!
- Yes!
Take these, okay?
- Of course.
Ready?
- Yes.
That pile was picked up about 10
days before the body was found.
We haven't sorted out and
left them as they were.
If you want to dig into it, -
help yourself.
Thank you very much.
Hey, Mister. It is okay to
dig in but don't make mess.
Who is he anyway?
I don't know. He is kind of odd.
Radiation exposure?
Rifle?
I got it.
Did you find about anything?
Yes. I am glad I came here.
Thank you for your help.
This is Yukawa.
You solved the mystery?
Yes. About how the death mask was created.
Are you serious?
There is something I want you
to find out before coming over -
to my office. You need to contact
the Meteorological Agency.
Meteorological Agency?
DANGER! Experiment in progress. Entry
prohibited except to participants.
Danger?
What is this?
It's dangerous!
You'll get an electric shock.
Please go away!
What, what?!
It's alright.
The condenser has been totally discharged.
I was so startled! What's a condenser?
It's a chikudenki. Didn't you
learn that in science class?
Yeah, it was invented by Edison.
That was the chikuonki (phonograph).
I knew that. I was just
pretending to be stupid.
Don't scare me! I hate anything
to do with electric shocks.
I didn't especially try to scare you.
The condenser next to it
hasn't been discharged.
Eh?
And also, if you leave
the condenser alone, -
it's gradually electrified
through static charge.
Then what happens?
When that class of condenser
becomes fully charged, -
you'll be electrocuted and blown
away as soon as you touch it.
That's awful!
How about what I asked you for?
Unlike you, the guy
at the Meteorological Agency was very kind.
Regarding lightning strikes
observed around the park -
where Fujikawa-san's
body was found, um...
the most recent one was December 1st.
The one before that...
I don't care about the recent ones. What
about the ones in October and November?
Strikes were observed
on the 3rd and 19th of October.
There weren't many in November.
Only on the 25th.
Ok then, that'll do.
Does lightning have anything
to do with this case?
I'll explain it to you now.
This tank of water represents the pond.
The pond?
The mannequin represents the body, -
and the aluminum material
is for molding the face.
And this equipment generates lightning.
Eh?
Do you see these electrodes
facing each other?
We're going to generate a lightning
strike using this machine.
Now? Here?
It's likely that lightning
struck that pond.
Discarded metal bars
acted as lightning rods.
Huh?
The electrical energy stored
in the thundercloud -
traveled toward the discarded
metal all at once.
But electrical wire was wrapped
around the metal bar -
and the tip of the bar was in the water.
That means the electrical energy -
passed through the wire into the water.
But if the wire gauge wasn't thick enough -
to carry all that energy...
What would happen if it
wasn't thick enough?
I'm going to demonstrate that to you now.
Sensei, it's ready.
Let's begin.
Please put these safety glasses on.
Because fragments might go flying.
Oh!
Then we'll start the charging.
The condenser will soon be fully charged.
Tens of thousands of volts is
passing between the two electrodes.
The space between them blocks
those two as a barrier.
But, as you break the barrier, their
potential electric differences become big.
It did it!
Our experiment succeeded!
This is how the death mask was created.
How does this kind of thing happen?
Shock wave.
Shock wave?
The current became too strong -
and the electrical cord
melted in an instant.
The wire that I saw at the junkyard -
was in the same condition as this.
And at the moment the wire was cut -
a powerful shock wave
occurred in the water.
The force of the shock wave
in the water resulted -
in the aluminum being pushed
against the face of the mannequin.
How did you figure that out?
The technique of fashioning
something out of material -
using a shock wave has been
well known for a long time.
For example, a gold dental crown
can be made using this method.
In order to manually generate
the shock wave at that time -
a rifle is fired into the water.
That's why at that time...
I heard the victim was shot,
and he was shot with a rifle.
A rifle?
And uh, it was a .41 caliber rifle.
I was wondering how
the shock wave occurred.
That is my hypothesis. Thank you.
Clean it up.
- Yes.
Huh? Wait a minute.
But Sensei, something's not right.
If that's so, it doesn't match
the eyewitness account.
Fujikawa-san was seen riding his bike -
on October 21.
And the mask was found on November 1.
There was no lightning during that period.
Right. The lightning strike
occurred on October 19.
That means Fujikawa-san was still alive.
- No.
At that time, he was already
killed and submerged in the pond.
What about the eyewitness
testimony on October 21?
And how do you account
for the message he had left that evening?
The question isn't how
to account for that, -
but who did it, how they did
it, and for what purpose.
Eh?
Someone set up an alibi?
I'm going to go through
the eyewitness testimony again.
I'm gong out for a bit.
Please tell Kuribayashi-san.
Where to?
I won't return today.
Hello?
- Utsumi, you idiot. Where are you?
I'm heading back now. Fujikawa-san's
time of death is getting doubtful.
We got the id
for the body found at Lake Ryujin.
Really?
We just got the result of the DNA test.
We were right on to investigate
people associated with Fujikawa.
They were co-workers
from a same companay.
Eh?
Umezato Naohiko, 42 years old.
He was in sales at KS Medical Engineering.
He's been missing since
the explosion incident.
That company is pretty suspicious.
It's not normal to have 2 people
die right after each other.
We're going to investigate it
further, so hurry up and come back.
Sorry, Yuge-san. I'm going to
be a little late heading back.
What do you mean late? Hey!
What are you thinking, you idiot.
What's going on?
Kijima
What an unusal guest.
I heard you were coming home today.
Acutally, there was some
trouble this morning.
I thought about staying there one more day.
If I didn't see you today, -
I don't think I would have come by again.
Then it's fortunate.
When things like this happen, -
it seriously makes me want to
examine a thing called fate.
Fate...
I don't prefer such abstract concept.
If you are a researcher,
don't drown in emotions.
You should consider
the probability theory first.
Let's go inside. It's getting cold.
Sorry for the late greeting.
It's nice to see you, Kijima-sensei.
Yeah, it's been a while.
Yukawa-kun.

A mini nuclear bomb.
A scientist should be genuine
to the research itself.
You thought it was
a nuisance, didn't you?
You think I killed
both of them?
Thank you for everything up until now.
I will find out the truth
behind these deaths.
Red Mercury?
I gave up.
There's something I need to do first.
That is waste of time.
Please don't get in his way.
He is pretty tough.

Tochigi prefecture, Lake Ryujin
Hey, what kind of joke is this?
Hey!
Oh, gimme a break. I can't swim!
Hey! What are you doing?!
Come back! Fujikawa!
What is that?
Dragon?
Kaizuka Kita Second High School
11/23, 11:06 Ota-ku, Tokyo
Next is a case that you get picked
on by delinquents in the city.
Crime Prevention
by Kaizuka Kita Police Station
If you provoke them, they can be dangerous.
They may have knives.
Some of them become relentless
if you try to resist them.
So, when you get picked
on by delinquents, -
what you should do is...
Hey, what the hell are you?
Give me money, you scum.
I'm sorry. I don't have money.
Don't joke with me. Try jumping. Jump.
I won't forgive you if I hear coins jingle.
I got it.
Please spare me with this.
You should've done so in the first place.
If you do that, you won't
get hurt most of the time.
After that, try to remember what they look
like and go to the nearest police station.
Then the police will quickly...
I can't do this.
- Hey, Yuge-san.
Well, there is nobody here.
What's going on, teacher?
I'm sorry. The students'
participation is voluntary.
I guess they won't participate -
on a day when they're
having the school festival.
How stupid. Such a waste of time.
It can't be helped. This
is part of our job.
It looks so real that it's scary.
Please excuse us.
"Death mask of a zombie"
What's this?
Hey, do you know who made this?
It's Yamabe-kun from art club, isn't it?
- Yes.
Is that so? Thank you.
What's wrong, Utsumi?
Yuge-san, don't you think this is too real?
Well if you mention it, it is well made.
You know how there are
expressions peculiar to corpses?
Is it called shadow of death?
I feel like this mask has that.
Of course not. It's just a middle
school student's creation.
Please excuse me.
Right this way, Fujikawa-san.
This...
is Yuichi.
As I thought. Are you sure?
This is Yuichi.
Teacher! I brought Yamabe-kun.
What is it?
- Yamabe-kun, how did you make this?
Just a second...
I used this as a model.
I picked it up at the pond
in the nature park the other day.
I thought it was well-made so...
Three days later And at the bottom
of the pond in the nature park, -
they found a corpse.
Corpse?
It was that of Fujikawa
Yuichi-san, 33 years old.
He was a man that lived alone in Tokyo.
He couldn't be contacted
since a month ago, -
and the mother asked
the police to search for him.
Fujikawa-san was shot in the head, -
so he was killed by someone for sure.
And? The shape of his face was in the pond?
A middle school student picked it
up and created the plaster mask.
Coincidentally, one
of the teachers in the -
middle school was
a friend of Fujikawa-san, -
and she was stunned, seeing it.
It's well made.
Even the bullet wound looks very real.
It's exactly like a zombie's death mask.
How could the face mold be there?
It's definitely because of a grudge. He let
people know "I sunk to the bottom here."
His strong grudge shaped
the aluminum plate like that.
Kuribayashi-san.
Do you think we would believe
something like that?
I don't believe in grudges.
Isn't it a scientist's job to
scientifically unravel strange phenomena?
How interesting.
Before calling it a grudge
and getting scared, -
why don't you try thinking
like Yukawa-sensei?
I have no clue.
That's why Kuribayashi-san is...
Don't say 'forever an assistant'.
It's not a grudge. Impossible.
It just coincidentally stuck
to the corpse's face.
Crucian carps, carps,
or diving beetles in the -
lake must've poked it
until the shape changed.
I don't think it's the crucian
carp or carp's doing, -
but there must've been a physical power -
that turned it into the shape of a face.
You guys, please help me out a little.
- Yes.
Kuribayashi-san, sit down there.
Sit?
- Right there.
What is it? Am I gonna be experimen...
- Just sit down.
Why are you bossing me
around when you're younger?
Please take the shape
of Kuribayashi-san's face.
Sure.
- Don't hesitate. Go ahead.
Then shall we try pressing it on his face?
I guess so.
- Don't make it painful.
Okay. Please excuse me.
- What is it?
That hurts!
Don't move around!
Kobu-san, please hold the other side.
Wait. - I'm suffocating!
- Don't move.
I'm suffocating.
- Don't move!
That's it. Don't move.
Please stay still!
How is it?
- I think that's enough.
It doesn't work.
The skin is too weak that it
can't withstand the pressure.
For a second I saw a garden...
I wonder what it was.
Maybe it would work if
it was a dead person.
Rigor mortis.
- Rigor mortis?!
We can't test it unless he dies.
That's true.
- Please spare me.
And even if it is rigor mortis, -
it's not like it will get rock hard.
It would be impossible to take
the shape of the face this precisely.
Then how did it turn out like this?
I have no idea.
- There is no need to know.
Sensei, you're cooperating
with the police way too much.
Don't spoil her too much, she needs
to think, it's for her own good.
But Teito University isn't
completely unrelated to this case.
What do you mean?
The victim, Fujikawa-san, -
is an alumni of this university.
Eh?
- No way...
He majored in nuclear engineering.
Nuclear engineering?
Yeah, ten years ago.
That major doesn't exist here anymore.
- Eh?
It's called energy engineering now.
The professor from back then
doesn't work here anymore right?
He quit a long time ago.
That professor is...
- Sensei!
Isn't it enough?
Kijima Seishiro.
Kijima Seishiro?

Timing and Subtitles brought to you
by Criminal Minds Team in @ viki
November 26, 14:30, Tokyo, Ota
This nature park -
is a place with endless illgal dumping
of scraps and oversize garbages.
It seems volunteers and
waste management service -
agents clean it up
once in a while, but -
it seems like it's
difficult to clear it up.
The materials for the mask
was a scrap found here.
We're currently trying to find
which company threw it away.
Japanese people don't have morals.
How can they make a mess
out of nature like this?
It's not limited to Japan.
There are cases of radioactive waste
being thrown away in oceans and rivers.
Even with the development
of technological civilization, -
as long as the hearts of people
using them don't evolve as well, -
this will continue.
Is it only about the people who use it?
I think scientists who take part
in science also have responsibility.
Scientists are just pure.
Otherwise they won't have
dramatic inspiration.
What a selfish logic.
Irresponsible thinking like that is
the cause of environmental pollution -
or other things that are bad to our soci...
- Tell me the overview of the case.
For now, all we know is that
the victim was killed between -
October 21, 3:30PM and November 1.
October 21, 11:15AM
On the morning of October 21, -
the caretaker
of the apartment saw the victim.
Hey Fujikawa-san!
Don't I always tell you to
think about the neighbors?!
Fujikawa-san's hobby is to ride his bike, -
and the caretaker has been irritated
by the noise caused by it.
October 21, 16:03 On the same
day, he made a call to his house.
Dad keeps adding more work... Oh.
His family members weren't home
so it was just a voice-mail.
October 21, -
3:31PM
It's Yuichi. I heard your voice-mail.
I think I can go back
for Grandpa's 3rd death anniversary.
I will call again later.
After that, his mother was unable
to contact him and got worried, -
so she visited his house, -
and found out he was missing.
What do you mean he was
killed by November 1st?
That is the day the middle school
student picked up the mask here.
It seems like the victim was shot dead,
but was it a rifle that was used?
Rifle? No... It's 41 caliber handgun.
Do people hunt in this nature park?
Hunt?
I'm talking about shooting (hunting).
Do you know if hunters use
rifles around this area?
No way. That's not allowed around here.
I would think so.
Why do you ask?
Well...
- Please tell me.
I'm still in the hypothesis stage.
That again?
It might be a hint so let me hear it.
Yeah, I'm not full
of knowledge like you, but...
Your phone is ringing.
We're investigating together,
so can't you tell me...
Hurry up and answer your phone.
I know!
It's Utsumi.
What?
Sensei!
They found out something new
about Fujikawa-san's corpse.
It all started when I saw
the result of his blood test.
The lymphocyte in his blood,
decreased abnormally.
And when I looked at it closely, I noticed.
What is it?
A picture of Fujikawa-san's nail.
It's about to peel off
after being decomposed.
Do you see it? Hyperplasia
occurred, although it is a bit.
Hyperplasia?
It mean's it got thicker.
And then I got an idea
so I looked it up. Look.
This is...
- What?
The result of ESR.
ESR?
It's the result of measuring radiation
accumulated in the dental enamel -
using the electron spin resonance method.
I'll just tell you the result
first, Fujikawa-san was -
exposed to radiation.
Exposed to radiation?!
I was surprised as well.
I'm glad I looked it up.
What was Fujikawa-san's job?
After graduating university,
he worked for a company -
that deals with
medical equipments.
Could it have been a job that
exposed him to radiation?
This is his detailed hemanalysis.
Natrium 24...
Yeah, you don't see this often.
Sorry for interrupting so many times, but -
what is that something 24?
It means there is a possibility
he was exposed to neutron rays.
There are many industries that
deal with radiation, but -
when it comes to newtron
rays, it is limited.
Maybe something that has
to do with nuclear power?
Or a research facility
of a university or some company.
Wonderful. This is
the first time I was able -
to have a smooth
conversation with a man.
Even so, these numbers aren't normal.
Even if it was a job that
deals with nuclear power, -
it goes way over the limit.
You're right.
Fujikawa-san is from the same
university as Yukawa-sensei, right?
He majored in nuclear power engineering.
I wonder if that has
something to do with it.
I don't know.
What do you think, Yukawa-sensei?
- I have no idea.
See, even Yukawa-sensei doesn't understand.
This time, we're full
of things we don't understand.
What do you mean "we"?
T-there's no deep meaning behind it.
Right, Yukawa-sensei?
Be quiet.
Sorry.
The place Fujikawa-san worked was -
a supplier of medical equipments
called KS Medical Engineering.
Is it possible he got exposed
to radiation during work?
I don't know unless I look it up.
But the founder of this company is -
the former professor of Teito
University's nuclear engineering, -
Kijima Seishiro-san.
He created this company after
quitting the university, but -
if you think about it
normally, it means he -
offered the job to his
former student right?
But Fujikawa-san -
suddenly quit this company.
It seems like there was trouble
between him and Kijima-san.
Say something!
- Fujikawa-kun!
October 16, 21:30
5 days before he disappeared, -
in front
of Kijima-san's house, -
Fuijkawa-san was yelling
at Kijima-san, according to a witness.
Then, instead of me,
shouldn't you go see Kijima?
I did, but he wasn't there.
He's been overseas?
Since last week. Kijima goes back and
forth from Japan to other countries.
He must be busy. When is he coming back?
He's scheduled to come back
on the 7th of next month.
Sorry if I sound rude but...
I'm his secretary, Hozumi.
Kijima works here often as well, so -
he gave me permission to
come here when I need to.
You're his secretary? I was surprised.
I thought you were his
young and beautiful wife.
What is your first name?
It's Kyoko.
That's my favorite name!
Between October 21 and November 1, -
where was Kijima-san?
Talk about something like that
after we get a little closer.
On October 21...
He headed for America the day before.
He came back on November 5th.
So during that time he wasn't in Japan?
Is there something wrong with that?
No, that's all. Thank you.
You're accusing Kijima-sensei?
There is a need to verify if
there was trouble between them.
I'm thinking of visiting him
again once he comes back.
Before that, I wanted to ask Yukawa-sensei
what kind of person he was.
I'm sorry, but I'm busy.
What's wrong?
You're behaving strangely.
You're always strange, but
it's different from usual.
Shouldn't you go back to investigating?
Yukawa-sensei.
When I ask you to help me
out with investigating, -
you always blabber out
meaningless logic don't you?
On the contrary, for information I need,
you say 'It's in the hypothesis stage'.
And you don't tell me anything.
I'm always pissed off about that.
But, -
there is one thing that impresses me.
You, -
never let your feelings get in the way.
But it's different this time.
I don't know how to put it, -
but I feel like you're
putting your emotions first.
It's something that has
nothing to do with this case.
It might affect the investigation.
- It's not something I should tell you.
I want to know even if it has
nothing to do with the case.
When you look like that, -
I can't help but get curious.
That's your personal feeling.
I'm sorry, but -
please go home for today.
I will verify the mystery of the mask.
I understand.
I'll be leaving.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you
by Criminal Minds Team in @ viki
Kusanagi Shunpei
Thank you for your hard work.
Kusanagi-san!
Great timing.
Did something happen?
There was a troublesome request
from Tochigi prefectural police.
Tochigi prefectural police?
Is it something related to
a case in our jurisdiction?
Do you know about the explosion that
happened a month and a half ago, -
at Tochigi's Lake Ryujin?
The media was all over that incident
calling it a "Mysterious Big Explosion".
We don't know if it was an accident
or if someone did it on purpose.
We don't even know
the cause for the explosion.
October 13, 21:45
Tochigi Prefecture, Lake Ryujin
There were no explosive substances found, -
the only thing we found was small
pieces of the boat that exploded, and -
small pieces of an adult male's flesh.
The medical examiner there
examined the flesh -
and we found out something unexpected.
He was exposed to radiation.
Exposed to radiation?
To add on to that, there was a sign
he was exposed to neutron rays.
It's the same as Fujikawa-san?
Yeah.
The prefectural police
were looking into the -
people missing around
the prefecture, and also -
went to get information from
the nuclear power related facilities.
But they were all swing and misses.
Then over here, they found
Fujikawa's corpse, -
and to add on to that, we found
out he was exposed to radiation.
That's why they thought there was
a connection between the two.
Connection?
But we don't even know when and where
Fujikawa was exposed to radiation.
If there was a connection
between the two victims, -
then we might be able to solve the mystery
behind their exposure to radiation.
Yeah, that's why we're checking -
if there is anyone else that
disappeared around Fujikawa.
They're really desperate.
They still haven't been able
to identify the victim.
I understand. I will look into it again.
It's something troublesome, but
please investigate it carefully.
Yes.
Okay. Let's go Utsumi.
Wait, Utsumi.
Did something happen to Yukawa?
Why do you ask?
- I called him before coming here.
I wanted to ask for some advice about
the explosion at Lake Ryujin, -
but he seemed down.
He didn't seem like himself.
I was curious as well and
asked him about it, -
but he wouldn't answer.
Is that so?
What is that, Sensei?
Kusanagi told me on the phone
about this account of the event.
A legend about a dragon?
Oh, about the explosion
in Tochigi Prefecture?
The one that came out
in the news a while ago.
Yup.
- Eh? Does that mean -
they asked you to exterminate the monster?
Sensei, when they say stupid things
like that, you should tell them off!
A dragon -
is really illogical.
I can't believe that such
imaginary things exist.
According to Kusanagi's
report, there wasn't -
a trace of anything left
after the explosion.
Those cops just come up with
one thing after another.
And also, the victim here -
had been exposed to radiation too.
Just like the victim
in the death mask case.
That kind of thing is just a coincidence.
That may be so, but the fact that nothing
could be found after the explosion...
Sensei!
Wouldn't it be better to stop
collaborating with the police?
You'd better withdraw, especially
with the event this time.
What I say might be meddling, but -
it might be better not to
recall unpleasant things.
I don't know how he might be -
related to this event, -
but I want to thoroughly investigate
the mystery of the mask.
Besides, the mystery
of the explosion is fascinating...
Then if Kijima-sensei is involved
in this, what would you do?
There are some things in life that -
you'd better forget about.
I am sorry to bother you while working.
I am from Kaizuka Kita Police Station.
Have you seen this person?
I don't think I have seen him at our store.
I see.
Did you speak about something with
Fujikawa-san at the end of October?
No... He has paid the rent up to December.
It's been paid?
- Yes.
So you saw him every morning?
- Yes.
But, when I think about it now,
I haven't seen him recently.
Have you noticed anything
when you saw him last?
You guys are here again.
Isn't this too much?
Any little thing helps. Can you think
of anything else about Fujikawa-san?
You can see that I am busy, can't you?
Thank you.
This lake is very filthy, right?
Fishes can't even live here.
It was a beautiful place in the past.
Doesn't matter how much I clean
up, people just bring more.
Actually it is not too bad today.
People have been tossing things
that cost money to dispose.
Are you from Waste Management?
Yes, but cleaning around
the lake is done by volunteers.
Someone has to do it.
What about you?
I haven't seen you arond here.
My name is Yukawa.
I am researching about the murder case
that the dead body was found here.
Wow, you are a professor
at Teito University?
I would like to see things
that was left here.
Why would you want to see them?
Is that going to -
help you research a way to
prevent any more trash?
No, it is about the case...
Before you take a look at trash, -
can you do something
about this filthy lake?
You people research
on things very difficult and -
create some things to make
our lives easy, right?
You're saying enriching our lives
is one of the purposes of science?
This mess is what we get in exchange
for getting enriched lives, huh?
No matter how convenient our lives get, -
if we people are stupid,
it it can't be helped.
Why am I telling this to a scientist?
I guess I am too old for this. Hey, -
can you help me here
instead of watching me?
Yes.
In return, I will show you
all the trash that is -
at my company.
What are you doing? Help me out here.
Yes.
Here you go. That's good.
Are you surprised? These
have been all dumped.
This is awful.
Sometimes government people or scholars
come for the environmental research.
Everybody get surprised. They must
have known this from books, -
but I guess they rarely see the reality.
It is not like they do
anything even if they come.
But I always tell them.
"This will make our life easier" or -
"This kind of tools come
in handy" is not good enough.
You see? Of course, people
who trash these are bad.
However, if they are so smart, -
"If we create this, it will
create more trash" or -
"This might affect
the world in a bad way".
Like that, we need to
think about it together.
Then they can call themselves smart.
You are right.
Thank you for helping me today.
Hey!
- Yes!
Take these, okay?
- Of course.
Ready?
- Yes.
That pile was picked up about 10
days before the body was found.
We haven't sorted out and
left them as they were.
If you want to dig into it, -
help yourself.
Thank you very much.
Hey, Mister. It is okay to
dig in but don't make mess.
Who is he anyway?
I don't know. He is kind of odd.
Radiation exposure?
Rifle?
I got it.
Did you find about anything?
Yes. I am glad I came here.
Thank you for your help.
This is Yukawa.
You solved the mystery?
Yes. About how the death mask was created.
Are you serious?
There is something I want you
to find out before coming over -
to my office. You need to contact
the Meteorological Agency.
Meteorological Agency?
DANGER! Experiment in progress. Entry
prohibited except to participants.
Danger?
What is this?
It's dangerous!
You'll get an electric shock.
Please go away!
What, what?!
It's alright.
The condenser has been totally discharged.
I was so startled! What's a condenser?
It's a chikudenki. Didn't you
learn that in science class?
Yeah, it was invented by Edison.
That was the chikuonki (phonograph).
I knew that. I was just
pretending to be stupid.
Don't scare me! I hate anything
to do with electric shocks.
I didn't especially try to scare you.
The condenser next to it
hasn't been discharged.
Eh?
And also, if you leave
the condenser alone, -
it's gradually electrified
through static charge.
Then what happens?
When that class of condenser
becomes fully charged, -
you'll be electrocuted and blown
away as soon as you touch it.
That's awful!
How about what I asked you for?
Unlike you, the guy
at the Meteorological Agency was very kind.
Regarding lightning strikes
observed around the park -
where Fujikawa-san's
body was found, um...
the most recent one was December 1st.
The one before that...
I don't care about the recent ones. What
about the ones in October and November?
Strikes were observed
on the 3rd and 19th of October.
There weren't many in November.
Only on the 25th.
Ok then, that'll do.
Does lightning have anything
to do with this case?
I'll explain it to you now.
This tank of water represents the pond.
The pond?
The mannequin represents the body, -
and the aluminum material
is for molding the face.
And this equipment generates lightning.
Eh?
Do you see these electrodes
facing each other?
We're going to generate a lightning
strike using this machine.
Now? Here?
It's likely that lightning
struck that pond.
Discarded metal bars
acted as lightning rods.
Huh?
The electrical energy stored
in the thundercloud -
traveled toward the discarded
metal all at once.
But electrical wire was wrapped
around the metal bar -
and the tip of the bar was in the water.
That means the electrical energy -
passed through the wire into the water.
But if the wire gauge wasn't thick enough -
to carry all that energy...
What would happen if it
wasn't thick enough?
I'm going to demonstrate that to you now.
Sensei, it's ready.
Let's begin.
Please put these safety glasses on.
Because fragments might go flying.
Oh!
Then we'll start the charging.
The condenser will soon be fully charged.
Tens of thousands of volts is
passing between the two electrodes.
The space between them blocks
those two as a barrier.
But, as you break the barrier, their
potential electric differences become big.
It did it!
Our experiment succeeded!
This is how the death mask was created.
How does this kind of thing happen?
Shock wave.
Shock wave?
The current became too strong -
and the electrical cord
melted in an instant.
The wire that I saw at the junkyard -
was in the same condition as this.
And at the moment the wire was cut -
a powerful shock wave
occurred in the water.
The force of the shock wave
in the water resulted -
in the aluminum being pushed
against the face of the mannequin.
How did you figure that out?
The technique of fashioning
something out of material -
using a shock wave has been
well known for a long time.
For example, a gold dental crown
can be made using this method.
In order to manually generate
the shock wave at that time -
a rifle is fired into the water.
That's why at that time...
I heard the victim was shot,
and he was shot with a rifle.
A rifle?
And uh, it was a .41 caliber rifle.
I was wondering how
the shock wave occurred.
That is my hypothesis. Thank you.
Clean it up.
- Yes.
Huh? Wait a minute.
But Sensei, something's not right.
If that's so, it doesn't match
the eyewitness account.
Fujikawa-san was seen riding his bike -
on October 21.
And the mask was found on November 1.
There was no lightning during that period.
Right. The lightning strike
occurred on October 19.
That means Fujikawa-san was still alive.
- No.
At that time, he was already
killed and submerged in the pond.
What about the eyewitness
testimony on October 21?
And how do you account
for the message he had left that evening?
The question isn't how
to account for that, -
but who did it, how they did
it, and for what purpose.
Eh?
Someone set up an alibi?
I'm going to go through
the eyewitness testimony again.
I'm gong out for a bit.
Please tell Kuribayashi-san.
Where to?
I won't return today.
Hello?
- Utsumi, you idiot. Where are you?
I'm heading back now. Fujikawa-san's
time of death is getting doubtful.
We got the id
for the body found at Lake Ryujin.
Really?
We just got the result of the DNA test.
We were right on to investigate
people associated with Fujikawa.
They were co-workers
from a same companay.
Eh?
Umezato Naohiko, 42 years old.
He was in sales at KS Medical Engineering.
He's been missing since
the explosion incident.
That company is pretty suspicious.
It's not normal to have 2 people
die right after each other.
We're going to investigate it
further, so hurry up and come back.
Sorry, Yuge-san. I'm going to
be a little late heading back.
What do you mean late? Hey!
What are you thinking, you idiot.
What's going on?
Kijima
What an unusal guest.
I heard you were coming home today.
Acutally, there was some
trouble this morning.
I thought about staying there one more day.
If I didn't see you today, -
I don't think I would have come by again.
Then it's fortunate.
When things like this happen, -
it seriously makes me want to
examine a thing called fate.
Fate...
I don't prefer such abstract concept.
If you are a researcher,
don't drown in emotions.
You should consider
the probability theory first.
Let's go inside. It's getting cold.
Sorry for the late greeting.
It's nice to see you, Kijima-sensei.
Yeah, it's been a while.
Yukawa-kun.

A mini nuclear bomb.
A scientist should be genuine
to the research itself.
You thought it was
a nuisance, didn't you?
You think I killed
both of them?
Thank you for everything up until now.
I will find out the truth
behind these deaths.
Red Mercury?
I gave up.
There's something I need to do first.
That is waste of time.
Please don't get in his way.
He is pretty tough.
