Garireo (2007–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Episode #2.4 - full transcript
Slider
This is a straight shot.
It rotates 34.2 times in one second.
It is tilted 21.4 degrees
compared to sea level.
And now we have our next listener
"My motto: always dash when
crossing a stone bridge."
You don't make sure it doesn't break
before crossing it, huh?
And here is the "Slider".
It rotates 41.6 times in one second.
Although the axis of revolution
is nearly vertical it is still tilted -
35.2 degrees compared to sea level.
It seems it's not a vertical slider.
Precisely.
If you're listening while driving
Are you forgetting something important?
What was it?
Yes, something very important.
- Wait...
In this way a professional pitcher uses
astounding techniques to throw curve balls.
That means you, too.
However, there is a problem
with your pitch, Yanagisawa-san.
Please take a look at this.
See, the axis for each pitch
is varied wide.
Yanagisawa vs. General pitcher
I see.
These are my sliders now.
Yanagisawa-san.
Let us scientifically examine why
your pitching no longer applies -
to pro baseball status.
Underground parking entrance
What was it...
Boa!
What, what, what?
What is this?
Hello? Hello?
This looks like where the fire started.
Looks like it was used as a closet.
Stove?
- There was one third of oil left inside.
This caused the fire?
- A stove that was stored here?
I can't imagine it igniting unless
the switch was turned on.
This may not be an accident.
Yes, but an arson?
The suspect came in and lit the stove.
He or she came in the closet
or all places, and turned on the switch?
A mysterious arson.
- Couldn't they light the fire normally?
And the deceased?
- Listen to me!
The owner of this house.
The body have already been
carried to the lab.
Excuse me.
- Then...
The body is no longer here, correct?
- Yes.
You're positive?
- It's not here.
Where was it lying?
You're scared.
You're scared of the burnt corpse!
It wasn't by fire.
It was probably by inhaling
too much carbon dioxide.
The body was lying on this sofa...
It was a clean corpse.
Must have been poisoned by smoke
while sleeping, poor thing.
Yanagisawa Taeko.
Wait... The name tag says Ono.
Ono
This is her parents' house.
Although both her parents
have died last year.
They were planning to take down this house
and sell the property.
And you got this information from...
Her husband.
Wait, Yanagisawa? The Yanagisawa?
What? Who?
Are you stupid? Yanagisawa,
the ace baseball player for the Leslie!
This is great!
Are you kidding? I love this guy!
I used to go to the stadium a lot.
Yeah, it doesn't come out too often.
Yanagisawa's card
doesn't come out, usually.
Looks like the reason your wife
died from inhaling carbon dioxide.
I am very sorry for your loss.
Ta...
Yanagisawa-san?
When did your wife start living
at her parents' house?
The end of last month...
About three weeks ago.
And the reason she left your apartment?
Are there any trouble
between you and your wife?
Last year, I got word from Leslie
that I was no longer on the team.
So you mean...
It means that they were going to fire me.
I want to keep playing.
I can't leave.
Maybe you're just afraid
of quitting baseball?
It's fine if you're really
thinking of doing it.
But, if it's because you can't do
anything else -
and that's the only reason you're
doing baseball...
What do you know about baseball?
This is my problem, too.
"This isn't how it's supposed to be"?
- What?
You're regretting marrying me, right?
I didn't say that!
- You're cheating on me, aren't you?
I know how you're dressed up and
going out while I'm training recently.
That's because...
My wife couldn't even make up an excuse.
That's how I knew that it was true.
You were angry at your wife.
You told her to leave?
Yes.
Actually, we found a paper bag
on the passenger seat of your car.
Inside, we found a box
that was once opened.
Then we found this clock.
It must have been wrapped with this ribbon.
Looks like a present for someone.
I'm positive it's not for me.
I don't even need a clock.
- Then who?
Maybe the man she's been
cheating on me with.
Any idea who he can be?
- No.
I could care less who it is.
Taeko is already...
- I can't have that.
If that fire was caused by arson
the suspect has a motive.
Precisely that house... which means
Taeko-san could've been the target.
The suspect could have been in bad terms
with your wife.
The story behind your wife's affairs
is crucial to our investigation.
The man Taeko had
an affair with killed her?
Don't you have a reason
to be angry at your wife as well?
What?
- If it means you were deceived by her...
Why would I...
At the time of the fire
I was practicing my pitch.
And do you have a witness?
My practicing partner, Muneta. And...
Professor Yukawa.
Professor Yukawa?
The associate professor
at Teito University, Yukawa Manabu.
What?
Galileo 2
Episode 4

What is this?
What is this?
- I'm pitching in this outfit?
The motion capture and reflective markers
display your movements on that screen.
Why?
- And this...
This ball has reflective markers too
so it may be slightly uncomfortable.
I can see that...
- Let's just do as he says.
Let's begin.
Why is Professor Yukawa coaching baseball?
He is Mr. Yanagisawa's
practicing partner, Mr. Muneta.
Mr. Muneta says he read my essay.
Essay?
It's about the science behind
the movement of the badminton shuttlecock.
Oh, this?
"The Shuttlecock Movement From
the Physics Perspective"?
He asked me if the same theory can be
applied towards -
Yanagisawa's comeback
to the baseball field.
What should I throw?
Please throw several of your best shots.
Then, definitely the slider.
Playing baseball even after his
wife has passed away.
Baseball is Yanagisawa-san's job.
A pro at 22 years old
he steadily won games -
from his second year to his 10th year.
However, as he passes the age of 35 -
he starts to lose his streak of wins.
And then finally after last season's end -
he was dismissed from his baseball team.
Now he continues to train himself
waiting for a team to pick him up.
If you think of the money towards
hiring a training partner -
this year is probably going to be
his last chance.
That should be good. Thank you.
Even if he throws a great pitch like that?
According to the numeric scale
your variation of axis is fine.
"According to the numeric scale..".
That wasn't bad. Your throws are
getting better, Yanagisawa.
This isn't my slider.
Hey, the professor is doing
this for you, remember?
As a catcher can't you feel that
the ball doesn't have its spark?
Spark?
- If you know this -
then why don't you
throw more forward with firm hands?
Damn it...
This is your fault.
Why?
Yanagisawa-san should be able
to make a comeback.
I can only think that his wife's death
has caused him psychological strain.
I would think so.
And yet, the police have not been able
to find a clear answer.
Oh, so that's why it's my fault?
Well, the police
are definitely investigating.
Then, please catch the criminal already.
I would say the suspect knows the victim
personally.
We suspected Yanagisawa-san
but he has an alibi.
Which means the person who is most
suspicious now is -
the man who the wife was
having an affair with.
But we don't know who that is.
Why did the suspect light the stove
that was stashed away in the closet?
We don't even know that.
There is always cause to a phenomena.
- But that has nothing to do with sliders.
We aren't investigating for you,
Professor Yukawa.
What kind of stove was it?
We're getting to the bottom
of this fire outbreak.
You're going to cooperate with
the investigation?
I can't believe the professor
is saying this out of his own will.
This is going to be interesting.
- Not interesting.
This was at the crime scene?
- This is the actual thing.
According to the manufacturer -
it's a type that can be ignited after
only pressing this button here.
You can also ignite it
without pressing the button by...
opening this here and directly starting
fire with a lighter or something.
Oh, jeez.
But if you had a lighter you can
just light a fire anywhere, so -
it wouldn't make sense for the arsonist
to do it this way...
Hey, what are you doing?
- I'm taking it apart.
This is crucial evidence!
- Precisely.
Don't think you can do
whatever you want.
Hello, sir.
There are two types of stoves that
ignite after pressing a button.
One is a type that
heats an electric filament -
and ignites the vaporized lamp oil.
The other sends high-tension current
to the igniter and creates electric sparks.
Moreover, there is another way
to directly start a fire.
There it is.
Indeed.
You figured it out?
Really? Already?
- Not in the least.
As I thought.
- Show me the crime scene.
What?
The place where the fire started.
This is where the stove was found.
But it was locked from the inside
so you could only enter from the house.
This is the only room that was burnt
thanks to the neighbors who noticed it.
They broke open the window and
used the extinguisher to stop the fire.
I see.
Taeko-san was sleeping -
on this sofa?
It seems.
According to your hypothesis -
the suspect entered the house,
passed by the sleeping Taeko-san -
entered the closet and ignited
the stove.
Is it unnatural?
I can't say it's impossible.
Right?
I would think the lover
was a very jealous one.
He was angry that the wife wouldn't
separate from the husband -
so he came here and...
became enraged after seeing this photo.
Why is she still keeping a photo
of her husband?
Some guy who don't even know the rules
of cheating -
would do a thing like this.
I get it!
There was a mysterious clock that was
found in Taeko-san's car -
along with an unwrapped ribbon.
Won't accept the present but instead
takes a life...
What kind of a man is this?
Huh?
Where did he go?
Professor Yukawa.
I am not interested in the person
who killed Taeko-san or his motives.
I know that!
Neither do I care if she had an affair
or what this guy was like.
You only care how the suspect ignited
the stove, correct?
Thus guiding this case
to being solved and -
helping Yanagisawa-san devote to baseball.
I want to prove that science can help
a pro baseball player make a comeback.
Where are you going?
Professor?
Are you looking for something...
Huh?
Why is it shutting and opening
like that?
Why a stove that's been stashed
away in the closet?
Why is it shutting and opening
like that?
What is it?
It's merely 50 meters from the place.
What is?
I see.
So that's how it is.
A stove?
Oh. It's the same type as the one
found at the crime scene.
Crime scene?
You relied on Professor Yukawa again?
Professor Yukawa himself told me that
he wanted to cooperate.
Right, Professor?
That can't be true!
- It is.
Horikawa-kun, are you set?
- One moment.
Is this the right radio?
- Yeah.
25 watt, 150 megahertz?
- That's correct.
We're good, Professor.
Now, please turn on the radio
from 50 cm away.
Okay.
Ow.
What is this?
- How should I know?
What?
- It ignited!
Why? What's going on?
The radio activated the electrical
circuit which ignites the stove.
This thing ignites through radio?
Usually something like this would
not happen.
In order to activate this stove's
electrical circuit -
you would need exactly 25 watts and
150 megahertz of radioactivity.
In order for that to occur
it would have to be about 50 cm away.
If, however, you were able to make
the radio wave much stronger -
it is possible to ignite the stove
from a much farther location.
For instance, from a highway
50 meters away.
50 meters?
But, a radio strong enough
to affect something that far away?
A strong radio transceiver which
is against the law to have.
The model.
- Yes.
What are you making, Orikawa?
- Kuribayashi-san, please.
If that highway was the route of the truck
with the illegal radio transmitter -
and if you use it while stopping at a
red light closest to Taeko-san's house?
Then it is possible that it activated
the stove's electrical circuit -
and ignited the fire.
Unohara-kun.
- Yes.
Hey where did you even...
Are you even doing your homework?
The automatic door close
to the crime scene -
was moving even though there were
no one around.
That, also, is caused by illegal radio
activity.
Illegal radio wave?
I had said that Ms. Kishitani's
hypothesis was not impossible.
That is, the suspect entered the house
passed by the sleeping Taeko-san -
entered the closet and
ignited the stove.
And yet, this did not have to be human.
Then... an accident?
It wasn't an arson?
I think it was a perfect slider.
The form and pitching speed...
it's all been revived.
No, a throw like this wouldn't hold up
in pro baseball.
I mean you're not even putting your
heart to the ball, Yanagisawa!
However, Muneta-san...
- Professor Yukawa, thank you so much.
It's fine now. I wanted him
to concentrate on baseball -
so that he may forget
what happened to his wife.
Well, from here on out it's all about
his mental strength!
Mental.
"Mental".
According to the police and the firemen -
my hypothesis regarding
the fire has been accepted.
Your wife was not killed by arson -
but by an accident caused by illegal
radio activity igniting the stove.
I see.
Of course, I understand your pain
in losing your wife.
However, amidst all of this we have
brought back your pitching speed.
The case has been solved.
Wouldn't you want to keep trying hard?
It hasn't been solved.
She... was having an affair.
An affair?
It's not a big deal. We were living
separately, anyway.
She was opposed to me trying to hold
on to my baseball career.
Now that she is gone, there is no one
to oppose me.
In fact, I can now concentrate
on baseball.
That is correct.
But...
I can't do it.
When we got married, Professor Yukawa...
It was the year I scored a two-digit win
for the first time.
My annual salary was over
two hundred million yen.
For Taeko, it was a Cinderella story
that people would be envious of.
Yanagisawa-san, it's not what
we were talking about...
However...
a pro isn't a pro forever.
We will need to retire one day.
And when this happens, who will be there
for us but our wives?
The other man is still living carefree.
Do you think I can forgive him?
Do you think I can
concentrate on baseball?
How can I even throw a slider
that's good enough?
Yanagisawa-san.
Your reasoning is not very practical.
For one, we still don't know if your
wife actually had an affair.
Then what about that clock?
Clock?
The clock that Taeko left inside this car.
It's obviously for her lover.
But... he didn't receive it.
He probably gave it back because
he didn't like it.
Taeko was trying to get his attention
and was being played by him.
I'm past the point of anger.
It's pathetic.
It's rusted.
What?
Here and there.
You're right.
It looks like it's corroded.
I don't remember seeing these
when I washed the car the last time.
When did you wash your car?
About three weeks ago.
And you've been driving
it every day since then?
This was Taeko's car,
so I wouldn't say every day.
Has your wife ever been
to a chemical plant?
Chemical plant?
- Yes.
I'm not sure. We were living
separately for a while.
But it's true she was out
somewhere regularly.
Every day she would dress up as if
she was going out somewhere.
Yanagisawa-san, can I have your
signature?
I'm Yanagisawa-san's fan!
Please promise you will make a comeback!
Yanagisawa-san!
It's impossible.
What?
I'm retiring.
This is my last signature.
Take good care of it!
I apologize, Professor Yukawa.
I couldn't live up to your expectations
after all your help.
But in reality, it's impossible...
to be better at baseball through science.
Yanagisawa-san...
- It's not impossible!
I believe that you will
make a comeback for sure!
And I do too.
Right?
- Don't come close!
All right, Yanagisawa-san.
Let me show you the possibility of science.
I will find your wife's lover.
This is Kishitani.
What? Yanagisawa Taeko-san?
I have something I'd like you to look into.
Between three weeks ago
and the day of the fire -
were there any accidents
or crimes dealing with -
spreading high-alkaline
substance within the city?
High-alkaline?
A chemical substance high in alkaline.
Why would I investigate
something like that?
If you don't do this for me,
we will never meet again.
Hey, wait a second...
I found one case like that. It's
the same date as the fire.
Same date?
- Yes.
An air conditioning maintenance worker
at the Yokohama hotel -
accidentally switched on the activation
lever for the sprinkler -
which spread an extinguishing
solution in the area.
What is this?
Now the scientific name
for the extinguishing solution...
Aque... Aque...
Aqueous Film Forming Foam Concentrate.
What?
A high-alkaline fire extinguisher made
from a fluorocarbon base.
Outstanding.
- What is? Actually, save it.
Either way, this definitely seems
like an accident.
Investigate.
- What?
Look into every car that was
at the hotel at the time.
Like I said, there's nothing
to look into here.
If you refuse, I will never
talk to you again.
Gladly.
This is the security camera footage
of the basement after the accident.
The extinguisher is still prevalent.
- So what are you saying, exactly?
Oh wait! Don't say it.
I don't want to be involved anymore.
This.
It's Yanagisawa-san's wife's car.
Yanagisawa-san?
You mean Yanagisawa Taeko-san?
The car is heavily drenched
in the extinguishing foam.
It must have been directly
under the sprinkler.
Why are you investigating
Taeko-san's business?
If the coating was solid it wouldn't
have been a problem, but -
even a small scratch can allow the foam
to seep through and cause a corrosion.
Alas, this is the reason for the rust.
Rust?
- During the day she died of the fire -
Taeko-san was at this hotel.
What?
- Was she with someone?
With... hotel... lover...
Why would Professor Yukawa know...
If Yanagisawa-san says he's too
concerned with his wife's affair -
to concentrate on baseball, I will need
to investigate the truth.
You can't do that! His wife is already
dead, so why now?
Professor, there are things in this world
that are just better left untouched.
Yanagisawa-san says that
he needs to know.
It's none of your business.
- It's very much my business.
I can't let something puny
like a "mental issue" -
get in the way of my scientific
experiment.
Oh wow, you're more selfish than
me, even.
Humans have right to know.
Can a scientist really find
the truth behind a lover's affair?
I've already found the truth from that
rust on the car.
Now it's just the clock.
- The clock?
Let's say you worked at the hotel.
- What?
If a scientist came in all of a sudden
and held up Taeko-san's picture -
and said "Do you remember this person?"
"Was she with anyone?" -
Then you would be suspicious.
Well...
- However if it was the police -
you wouldn't be.
What?
- Come to the hotel with me.
What, why would I...
- If you refuse I will never...
Of course!
Yes, she was here.
- In this lounge?
Yes, every day up until about
a few days ago.
Was she with anyone?
Yes, with a man.
- A man...
She was always meeting him here.
When's the last time she came?
Hmm... Oh yes, the day the fire alarm
went off.
Only that day, she ordered a cake
for the man.
Cake?
- For the man?
Yes, they asked if we had any candles.
Unfortunately, we don't have any.
Candles...
- It was the man's birthday, perhaps?
Yes, I think so. I saw her give him
a present then.
Perhaps that man was not Japanese?
What?
- That's right. His Japanese was good -
but I feel the pronunciation was
slightly Chinese.
Chinese?
- As I thought.
"As I thought?" -
Thank you very much.
- No problem.
Kishitani-kun, please investigate.
- Who that man is?
Finally, cooperating.
- I've been cooperating.
But, how did you know he was not
Japanese?
Is that through science too?
Really?
Completely irrelevant.
Delicious.
Please eat, Yanagisawa-san.
You are very peculiar, Professor.
A normal person wouldn't have
an appetite at a time like this.
When you are meeting your wife's lover
for the first time.
I have a friend who is a scientist
from Taiwan.
He told me of a specific custom
in Taiwan.
In Taiwan, it is taboo to give
a clock to someone.
What?
In Chinese, the clock is: "zhong".
To send a clock is: "song zhong".
However, this is pronounced exactly
the same as -
"To attend a funeral".
And so it is bad luck.
Like you thought, your wife was meeting
a man at a hotel.
That man is from Taiwan,
and is very wealthy.
The day your wife died was his birthday.
And so your wife gave him a present
at the hotel lounge.
However, when the gift ribbon came apart -
the man hesitated.
Yes, because it was a clock.
Oh my, I'm so sorry.
I had no idea!
Then, let's get a cake instead.
- So instead, she got a cake -
to celebrate his birthday.
I knew you were different,
but to this extent...
My wife's lover is
a rich man from Taiwan.
To have me meet him you invite me
to this Taiwanese restaurant.
You could have been more
considerate, Professor.
I mean no harm.
Why would Taeko be with him?
It seems that he met your wife first.
They took the same English class.
While her husband is fired from his job
and is in the dumps?
Wow, you're right. It's delicious.
This is great.
I will introduce you to whom your
wife was meeting at the hotel.
My name is Yan. Nice to meet you.
Yan-san is the owner of this restaurant.
Thank you for complimenting my soup.
- You!
Mr. Yan's brother is a professional
baseball player at the Taiwan league.
What?
My little brother is
playing ball in Taiwan.
Your wife was not having an affair.
Through Mr. Yan, she was looking into
what the Taiwan league is like.
For a Japanese professional to play there -
what would he have to say and to whom -
and what to prepare for living in Taiwan.
This is what she was
consulting Mr. Yan with.
"If there was no more chance
left for you in Japan" -
"I still want to get you prepared
to make it as a professional in Taiwan" -
"and I want to support
you there as well".
That's what she had
decided in her heart.
Taeko? Is that true?
Your wife really loved you,
Yanagisawa-san.
"He only has baseball. He shines
the brightest when he plays".
"I want him to keep playing
professionally".
It's a pity...
that Taeko-san is no longer alive.
To think that was the last time
I saw her...
Please take care of my husband.
I will.
What is it?
Your wife parted with Mr. Yan
soon after and left the hotel.
With that car drenched in extinguishing
foam -
she drove back to that house.
Taeko-san was probably mentally drained.
She probably slept soon after she
returned to the house.
And unfortunately, the heater left in the
closet reacted to the illegal radio wave -
and took Taeko's life while she slept.
Taeko...
Taeko...
Tae...
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry...
I'm busy, you know.
Soon we will see the results of my
scientific support.
You're interested, correct?
It's my first time at a practice field
for professional baseball.
They are mostly young players working
for first string.
Is Yanagisawa-san going to take the test
within this group?
His training partner Muneta-san is
the OB of this team -
and asked if Yanagisawa-san could take
their test.
Yanagisawa!
Let's see your pitch.
Yes.
Sawatomo! Take his pitch!
Yes, sir!
- Yoshida, to the bench.
Yes, sir!
- Tsuji, Matsubara! Get him ready!
Take your time, Yanagisawa.
Isn't that Yanagisawa from the Leslies?
- An enrollment test, I hear.
His wife died, right?
- He has no chance now.
He's done with.
What do you think, Professor?
Will he make it?
According to scientific data -
his current pitch is very close
to matching his prime years.
Then, his mental state...
Three batters will throw!
Those are the only chances!
- Yes, sir!
You'll be fine, Yanagisawa!
Taeko...
Do your best, Batter!
This is your one-time chance!
Do it.
Yes!
Wow...
The experiment is a success.

What was it...
Boa!
What, what, what?
What is this?
Hello? Hello?
This looks like where the fire started.
Looks like it was used as a closet.
Stove?
- There was one third of oil left inside.
This caused the fire?
- A stove that was stored here?
I can't imagine it igniting unless
the switch was turned on.
This may not be an accident.
Yes, but an arson?
The suspect came in and lit the stove.
He or she came in the closet
or all places, and turned on the switch?
A mysterious arson.
- Couldn't they light the fire normally?
And the deceased?
- Listen to me!
The owner of this house.
The body have already been
carried to the lab.
Excuse me.
- Then...
The body is no longer here, correct?
- Yes.
You're positive?
- It's not here.
Where was it lying?
You're scared.
You're scared of the burnt corpse!
It wasn't by fire.
It was probably by inhaling
too much carbon dioxide.
The body was lying on this sofa...
It was a clean corpse.
Must have been poisoned by smoke
while sleeping, poor thing.
Yanagisawa Taeko.
Wait... The name tag says Ono.
Ono
This is her parents' house.
Although both her parents
have died last year.
They were planning to take down this house
and sell the property.
And you got this information from...
Her husband.
Wait, Yanagisawa? The Yanagisawa?
What? Who?
Are you stupid? Yanagisawa,
the ace baseball player for the Leslie!
This is great!
Are you kidding? I love this guy!
I used to go to the stadium a lot.
Yeah, it doesn't come out too often.
Yanagisawa's card
doesn't come out, usually.
Looks like the reason your wife
died from inhaling carbon dioxide.
I am very sorry for your loss.
Ta...
Yanagisawa-san?
When did your wife start living
at her parents' house?
The end of last month...
About three weeks ago.
And the reason she left your apartment?
Are there any trouble
between you and your wife?
Last year, I got word from Leslie
that I was no longer on the team.
So you mean...
It means that they were going to fire me.
I want to keep playing.
I can't leave.
Maybe you're just afraid
of quitting baseball?
It's fine if you're really
thinking of doing it.
But, if it's because you can't do
anything else -
and that's the only reason you're
doing baseball...
What do you know about baseball?
This is my problem, too.
"This isn't how it's supposed to be"?
- What?
You're regretting marrying me, right?
I didn't say that!
- You're cheating on me, aren't you?
I know how you're dressed up and
going out while I'm training recently.
That's because...
My wife couldn't even make up an excuse.
That's how I knew that it was true.
You were angry at your wife.
You told her to leave?
Yes.
Actually, we found a paper bag
on the passenger seat of your car.
Inside, we found a box
that was once opened.
Then we found this clock.
It must have been wrapped with this ribbon.
Looks like a present for someone.
I'm positive it's not for me.
I don't even need a clock.
- Then who?
Maybe the man she's been
cheating on me with.
Any idea who he can be?
- No.
I could care less who it is.
Taeko is already...
- I can't have that.
If that fire was caused by arson
the suspect has a motive.
Precisely that house... which means
Taeko-san could've been the target.
The suspect could have been in bad terms
with your wife.
The story behind your wife's affairs
is crucial to our investigation.
The man Taeko had
an affair with killed her?
Don't you have a reason
to be angry at your wife as well?
What?
- If it means you were deceived by her...
Why would I...
At the time of the fire
I was practicing my pitch.
And do you have a witness?
My practicing partner, Muneta. And...
Professor Yukawa.
Professor Yukawa?
The associate professor
at Teito University, Yukawa Manabu.
What?
Galileo 2
Episode 4
Subtitles by DramaFever
What is this?
What is this?
- I'm pitching in this outfit?
The motion capture and reflective markers
display your movements on that screen.
Why?
- And this...
This ball has reflective markers too
so it may be slightly uncomfortable.
I can see that...
- Let's just do as he says.
Let's begin.
Why is Professor Yukawa coaching baseball?
He is Mr. Yanagisawa's
practicing partner, Mr. Muneta.
Mr. Muneta says he read my essay.
Essay?
It's about the science behind
the movement of the badminton shuttlecock.
Oh, this?
"The Shuttlecock Movement From
the Physics Perspective"?
He asked me if the same theory can be
applied towards -
Yanagisawa's comeback
to the baseball field.
What should I throw?
Please throw several of your best shots.
Then, definitely the slider.
Playing baseball even after his
wife has passed away.
Baseball is Yanagisawa-san's job.
A pro at 22 years old
he steadily won games -
from his second year to his 10th year.
However, as he passes the age of 35 -
he starts to lose his streak of wins.
And then finally after last season's end -
he was dismissed from his baseball team.
Now he continues to train himself
waiting for a team to pick him up.
If you think of the money towards
hiring a training partner -
this year is probably going to be
his last chance.
That should be good. Thank you.
Even if he throws a great pitch like that?
According to the numeric scale
your variation of axis is fine.
"According to the numeric scale..".
That wasn't bad. Your throws are
getting better, Yanagisawa.
This isn't my slider.
Hey, the professor is doing
this for you, remember?
As a catcher can't you feel that
the ball doesn't have its spark?
Spark?
- If you know this -
then why don't you
throw more forward with firm hands?
Damn it...
This is your fault.
Why?
Yanagisawa-san should be able
to make a comeback.
I can only think that his wife's death
has caused him psychological strain.
I would think so.
And yet, the police have not been able
to find a clear answer.
Oh, so that's why it's my fault?
Well, the police
are definitely investigating.
Then, please catch the criminal already.
I would say the suspect knows the victim
personally.
We suspected Yanagisawa-san
but he has an alibi.
Which means the person who is most
suspicious now is -
the man who the wife was
having an affair with.
But we don't know who that is.
Why did the suspect light the stove
that was stashed away in the closet?
We don't even know that.
There is always cause to a phenomena.
- But that has nothing to do with sliders.
We aren't investigating for you,
Professor Yukawa.
What kind of stove was it?
We're getting to the bottom
of this fire outbreak.
You're going to cooperate with
the investigation?
I can't believe the professor
is saying this out of his own will.
This is going to be interesting.
- Not interesting.
This was at the crime scene?
- This is the actual thing.
According to the manufacturer -
it's a type that can be ignited after
only pressing this button here.
You can also ignite it
without pressing the button by...
opening this here and directly starting
fire with a lighter or something.
Oh, jeez.
But if you had a lighter you can
just light a fire anywhere, so -
it wouldn't make sense for the arsonist
to do it this way...
Hey, what are you doing?
- I'm taking it apart.
This is crucial evidence!
- Precisely.
Don't think you can do
whatever you want.
Hello, sir.
There are two types of stoves that
ignite after pressing a button.
One is a type that
heats an electric filament -
and ignites the vaporized lamp oil.
The other sends high-tension current
to the igniter and creates electric sparks.
Moreover, there is another way
to directly start a fire.
There it is.
Indeed.
You figured it out?
Really? Already?
- Not in the least.
As I thought.
- Show me the crime scene.
What?
The place where the fire started.
This is where the stove was found.
But it was locked from the inside
so you could only enter from the house.
This is the only room that was burnt
thanks to the neighbors who noticed it.
They broke open the window and
used the extinguisher to stop the fire.
I see.
Taeko-san was sleeping -
on this sofa?
It seems.
According to your hypothesis -
the suspect entered the house,
passed by the sleeping Taeko-san -
entered the closet and ignited
the stove.
Is it unnatural?
I can't say it's impossible.
Right?
I would think the lover
was a very jealous one.
He was angry that the wife wouldn't
separate from the husband -
so he came here and...
became enraged after seeing this photo.
Why is she still keeping a photo
of her husband?
Some guy who don't even know the rules
of cheating -
would do a thing like this.
I get it!
There was a mysterious clock that was
found in Taeko-san's car -
along with an unwrapped ribbon.
Won't accept the present but instead
takes a life...
What kind of a man is this?
Huh?
Where did he go?
Professor Yukawa.
I am not interested in the person
who killed Taeko-san or his motives.
I know that!
Neither do I care if she had an affair
or what this guy was like.
You only care how the suspect ignited
the stove, correct?
Thus guiding this case
to being solved and -
helping Yanagisawa-san devote to baseball.
I want to prove that science can help
a pro baseball player make a comeback.
Where are you going?
Professor?
Are you looking for something...
Huh?
Why is it shutting and opening
like that?
Why a stove that's been stashed
away in the closet?
Why is it shutting and opening
like that?
What is it?
It's merely 50 meters from the place.
What is?
I see.
So that's how it is.
A stove?
Oh. It's the same type as the one
found at the crime scene.
Crime scene?
You relied on Professor Yukawa again?
Professor Yukawa himself told me that
he wanted to cooperate.
Right, Professor?
That can't be true!
- It is.
Horikawa-kun, are you set?
- One moment.
Is this the right radio?
- Yeah.
25 watt, 150 megahertz?
- That's correct.
We're good, Professor.
Now, please turn on the radio
from 50 cm away.
Okay.
Ow.
What is this?
- How should I know?
What?
- It ignited!
Why? What's going on?
The radio activated the electrical
circuit which ignites the stove.
This thing ignites through radio?
Usually something like this would
not happen.
In order to activate this stove's
electrical circuit -
you would need exactly 25 watts and
150 megahertz of radioactivity.
In order for that to occur
it would have to be about 50 cm away.
If, however, you were able to make
the radio wave much stronger -
it is possible to ignite the stove
from a much farther location.
For instance, from a highway
50 meters away.
50 meters?
But, a radio strong enough
to affect something that far away?
A strong radio transceiver which
is against the law to have.
The model.
- Yes.
What are you making, Orikawa?
- Kuribayashi-san, please.
If that highway was the route of the truck
with the illegal radio transmitter -
and if you use it while stopping at a
red light closest to Taeko-san's house?
Then it is possible that it activated
the stove's electrical circuit -
and ignited the fire.
Unohara-kun.
- Yes.
Hey where did you even...
Are you even doing your homework?
The automatic door close
to the crime scene -
was moving even though there were
no one around.
That, also, is caused by illegal radio
activity.
Illegal radio wave?
I had said that Ms. Kishitani's
hypothesis was not impossible.
That is, the suspect entered the house
passed by the sleeping Taeko-san -
entered the closet and
ignited the stove.
And yet, this did not have to be human.
Then... an accident?
It wasn't an arson?
I think it was a perfect slider.
The form and pitching speed...
it's all been revived.
No, a throw like this wouldn't hold up
in pro baseball.
I mean you're not even putting your
heart to the ball, Yanagisawa!
However, Muneta-san...
- Professor Yukawa, thank you so much.
It's fine now. I wanted him
to concentrate on baseball -
so that he may forget
what happened to his wife.
Well, from here on out it's all about
his mental strength!
Mental.
"Mental".
According to the police and the firemen -
my hypothesis regarding
the fire has been accepted.
Your wife was not killed by arson -
but by an accident caused by illegal
radio activity igniting the stove.
I see.
Of course, I understand your pain
in losing your wife.
However, amidst all of this we have
brought back your pitching speed.
The case has been solved.
Wouldn't you want to keep trying hard?
It hasn't been solved.
She... was having an affair.
An affair?
It's not a big deal. We were living
separately, anyway.
She was opposed to me trying to hold
on to my baseball career.
Now that she is gone, there is no one
to oppose me.
In fact, I can now concentrate
on baseball.
That is correct.
But...
I can't do it.
When we got married, Professor Yukawa...
It was the year I scored a two-digit win
for the first time.
My annual salary was over
two hundred million yen.
For Taeko, it was a Cinderella story
that people would be envious of.
Yanagisawa-san, it's not what
we were talking about...
However...
a pro isn't a pro forever.
We will need to retire one day.
And when this happens, who will be there
for us but our wives?
The other man is still living carefree.
Do you think I can forgive him?
Do you think I can
concentrate on baseball?
How can I even throw a slider
that's good enough?
Yanagisawa-san.
Your reasoning is not very practical.
For one, we still don't know if your
wife actually had an affair.
Then what about that clock?
Clock?
The clock that Taeko left inside this car.
It's obviously for her lover.
But... he didn't receive it.
He probably gave it back because
he didn't like it.
Taeko was trying to get his attention
and was being played by him.
I'm past the point of anger.
It's pathetic.
It's rusted.
What?
Here and there.
You're right.
It looks like it's corroded.
I don't remember seeing these
when I washed the car the last time.
When did you wash your car?
About three weeks ago.
And you've been driving
it every day since then?
This was Taeko's car,
so I wouldn't say every day.
Has your wife ever been
to a chemical plant?
Chemical plant?
- Yes.
I'm not sure. We were living
separately for a while.
But it's true she was out
somewhere regularly.
Every day she would dress up as if
she was going out somewhere.
Yanagisawa-san, can I have your
signature?
I'm Yanagisawa-san's fan!
Please promise you will make a comeback!
Yanagisawa-san!
It's impossible.
What?
I'm retiring.
This is my last signature.
Take good care of it!
I apologize, Professor Yukawa.
I couldn't live up to your expectations
after all your help.
But in reality, it's impossible...
to be better at baseball through science.
Yanagisawa-san...
- It's not impossible!
I believe that you will
make a comeback for sure!
And I do too.
Right?
- Don't come close!
All right, Yanagisawa-san.
Let me show you the possibility of science.
I will find your wife's lover.
This is Kishitani.
What? Yanagisawa Taeko-san?
I have something I'd like you to look into.
Between three weeks ago
and the day of the fire -
were there any accidents
or crimes dealing with -
spreading high-alkaline
substance within the city?
High-alkaline?
A chemical substance high in alkaline.
Why would I investigate
something like that?
If you don't do this for me,
we will never meet again.
Hey, wait a second...
I found one case like that. It's
the same date as the fire.
Same date?
- Yes.
An air conditioning maintenance worker
at the Yokohama hotel -
accidentally switched on the activation
lever for the sprinkler -
which spread an extinguishing
solution in the area.
What is this?
Now the scientific name
for the extinguishing solution...
Aque... Aque...
Aqueous Film Forming Foam Concentrate.
What?
A high-alkaline fire extinguisher made
from a fluorocarbon base.
Outstanding.
- What is? Actually, save it.
Either way, this definitely seems
like an accident.
Investigate.
- What?
Look into every car that was
at the hotel at the time.
Like I said, there's nothing
to look into here.
If you refuse, I will never
talk to you again.
Gladly.
This is the security camera footage
of the basement after the accident.
The extinguisher is still prevalent.
- So what are you saying, exactly?
Oh wait! Don't say it.
I don't want to be involved anymore.
This.
It's Yanagisawa-san's wife's car.
Yanagisawa-san?
You mean Yanagisawa Taeko-san?
The car is heavily drenched
in the extinguishing foam.
It must have been directly
under the sprinkler.
Why are you investigating
Taeko-san's business?
If the coating was solid it wouldn't
have been a problem, but -
even a small scratch can allow the foam
to seep through and cause a corrosion.
Alas, this is the reason for the rust.
Rust?
- During the day she died of the fire -
Taeko-san was at this hotel.
What?
- Was she with someone?
With... hotel... lover...
Why would Professor Yukawa know...
If Yanagisawa-san says he's too
concerned with his wife's affair -
to concentrate on baseball, I will need
to investigate the truth.
You can't do that! His wife is already
dead, so why now?
Professor, there are things in this world
that are just better left untouched.
Yanagisawa-san says that
he needs to know.
It's none of your business.
- It's very much my business.
I can't let something puny
like a "mental issue" -
get in the way of my scientific
experiment.
Oh wow, you're more selfish than
me, even.
Humans have right to know.
Can a scientist really find
the truth behind a lover's affair?
I've already found the truth from that
rust on the car.
Now it's just the clock.
- The clock?
Let's say you worked at the hotel.
- What?
If a scientist came in all of a sudden
and held up Taeko-san's picture -
and said "Do you remember this person?"
"Was she with anyone?" -
Then you would be suspicious.
Well...
- However if it was the police -
you wouldn't be.
What?
- Come to the hotel with me.
What, why would I...
- If you refuse I will never...
Of course!
Yes, she was here.
- In this lounge?
Yes, every day up until about
a few days ago.
Was she with anyone?
Yes, with a man.
- A man...
She was always meeting him here.
When's the last time she came?
Hmm... Oh yes, the day the fire alarm
went off.
Only that day, she ordered a cake
for the man.
Cake?
- For the man?
Yes, they asked if we had any candles.
Unfortunately, we don't have any.
Candles...
- It was the man's birthday, perhaps?
Yes, I think so. I saw her give him
a present then.
Perhaps that man was not Japanese?
What?
- That's right. His Japanese was good -
but I feel the pronunciation was
slightly Chinese.
Chinese?
- As I thought.
"As I thought?" -
Thank you very much.
- No problem.
Kishitani-kun, please investigate.
- Who that man is?
Finally, cooperating.
- I've been cooperating.
But, how did you know he was not
Japanese?
Is that through science too?
Really?
Completely irrelevant.
Delicious.
Please eat, Yanagisawa-san.
You are very peculiar, Professor.
A normal person wouldn't have
an appetite at a time like this.
When you are meeting your wife's lover
for the first time.
I have a friend who is a scientist
from Taiwan.
He told me of a specific custom
in Taiwan.
In Taiwan, it is taboo to give
a clock to someone.
What?
In Chinese, the clock is: "zhong".
To send a clock is: "song zhong".
However, this is pronounced exactly
the same as -
"To attend a funeral".
And so it is bad luck.
Like you thought, your wife was meeting
a man at a hotel.
That man is from Taiwan,
and is very wealthy.
The day your wife died was his birthday.
And so your wife gave him a present
at the hotel lounge.
However, when the gift ribbon came apart -
the man hesitated.
Yes, because it was a clock.
Oh my, I'm so sorry.
I had no idea!
Then, let's get a cake instead.
- So instead, she got a cake -
to celebrate his birthday.
I knew you were different,
but to this extent...
My wife's lover is
a rich man from Taiwan.
To have me meet him you invite me
to this Taiwanese restaurant.
You could have been more
considerate, Professor.
I mean no harm.
Why would Taeko be with him?
It seems that he met your wife first.
They took the same English class.
While her husband is fired from his job
and is in the dumps?
Wow, you're right. It's delicious.
This is great.
I will introduce you to whom your
wife was meeting at the hotel.
My name is Yan. Nice to meet you.
Yan-san is the owner of this restaurant.
Thank you for complimenting my soup.
- You!
Mr. Yan's brother is a professional
baseball player at the Taiwan league.
What?
My little brother is
playing ball in Taiwan.
Your wife was not having an affair.
Through Mr. Yan, she was looking into
what the Taiwan league is like.
For a Japanese professional to play there -
what would he have to say and to whom -
and what to prepare for living in Taiwan.
This is what she was
consulting Mr. Yan with.
"If there was no more chance
left for you in Japan" -
"I still want to get you prepared
to make it as a professional in Taiwan" -
"and I want to support
you there as well".
That's what she had
decided in her heart.
Taeko? Is that true?
Your wife really loved you,
Yanagisawa-san.
"He only has baseball. He shines
the brightest when he plays".
"I want him to keep playing
professionally".
It's a pity...
that Taeko-san is no longer alive.
To think that was the last time
I saw her...
Please take care of my husband.
I will.
What is it?
Your wife parted with Mr. Yan
soon after and left the hotel.
With that car drenched in extinguishing
foam -
she drove back to that house.
Taeko-san was probably mentally drained.
She probably slept soon after she
returned to the house.
And unfortunately, the heater left in the
closet reacted to the illegal radio wave -
and took Taeko's life while she slept.
Taeko...
Taeko...
Tae...
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry...
I'm busy, you know.
Soon we will see the results of my
scientific support.
You're interested, correct?
It's my first time at a practice field
for professional baseball.
They are mostly young players working
for first string.
Is Yanagisawa-san going to take the test
within this group?
His training partner Muneta-san is
the OB of this team -
and asked if Yanagisawa-san could take
their test.
Yanagisawa!
Let's see your pitch.
Yes.
Sawatomo! Take his pitch!
Yes, sir!
- Yoshida, to the bench.
Yes, sir!
- Tsuji, Matsubara! Get him ready!
Take your time, Yanagisawa.
Isn't that Yanagisawa from the Leslies?
- An enrollment test, I hear.
His wife died, right?
- He has no chance now.
He's done with.
What do you think, Professor?
Will he make it?
According to scientific data -
his current pitch is very close
to matching his prime years.
Then, his mental state...
Three batters will throw!
Those are the only chances!
- Yes, sir!
You'll be fine, Yanagisawa!
Taeko...
Do your best, Batter!
This is your one-time chance!
Do it.
Yes!
Wow...
The experiment is a success.
