The Perfect Insider (2014–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Episode #1.10 - full transcript
Previously on 'The Perfect Insider.'
Serial murders at the theme park.
In one incident, the corpse vanished
with leaving just its arm behind.
In the other, the culprit vanished
in the perfectly locked room.
Dr. Magata Shiki must be
behind this case.
You mean, she's hiding
somewhere in Euro Park?
'The death of Nishinosono Moe.'
That was also a message from Dr. Magata.
Moe's fiancee, Hanawa Rikiya,
was connected to Magata Shiki.
After getting caught in Hanawa's trap,
Moe finally met Shiki face-to-face.
- Dr. Magata.
- There will be another murder.
For heaven's sake!
Please stop it already...
[Nishinosono Moe]
Professor Saikawa,
this isn't a dream, is it?
That's my understanding at least.
What's the definition of reality?
It's an illusion which appears
in human thought
only at the moment when he wonders
what the definition of reality is.
It doesn't exist in the first place.
Are you saying, there's no meaning
in such things as reality?
Dr. Magata was saying
something similar to that.
You and Dr. Magata are...
very much alike.
The structure of yours is
very similar to mine.
I tell you, a detective should be
on the run all the time. That's the basics.
[Ukai Daisuke - Detective]
[Katagiri Mokoto - Detective]
Hello, this is Ukai.
Oh, Detective Ukai.
This is Nishinosono.
Oh, Nishinosono-san?
I'm in Nagono City in
Aichi Prefecture right now.
And I called my uncle for an urgent matter,
but he didn't answer the phone.
Oh, the chief is on a business trip to Los
Angeles and he won't be back til tomorrow.
Is that so?
Then, will you do me a favor instead?
Yes, please tell me if there's anything I can do.
For Nishinosono-san, this Ukai Daisuke
will do anything with all my heart.
I saw Magata Shiki.
What? What? What? What?
You mean, that Magata Shiki?
It's Euro Park, which is operated by the
computer software company, Nanocraft.
Dr. Magata Shiki is hiding
somewhere in there.
Please make a request
for the immediate search.
Understood. I'll contact the Aichi Prefectural
Police and make an arrangement right away.
We received a call from
the Kanagawa Prefectural Police.
I heard that you had seen Magata Shiki
inside Euro Park.
So, you know about
Dr. Magata, Detective Shibaike?
Of course, I know.
Dr. Magata has something to do with
the murders of Matsumoto-san and Shinjo-san.
Also, she warned me that there would be
another murder.
What?
Where's Dr. Magata?
She's somewhere in the research facility
beneath the hotel, isn't she?
What are you talking about?
You drugged me and took me to the place
where Dr. Magata was, didn't you?
Is the Dr. Magata you're talking about
the famous Dr. Magata Shiki?
Don't play innocent, please.
Perhaps I shouldn't say this
but Nishinosono-san came here yesterday
- and drank too much, then fell asleep.
- Liquor?
So, I had no choice but
to take her back to her room.
That's a lie!
Hanawa-san.
Magata Shiki is the culprit of serial murders.
If you're sheltering her,
you'll be charged with a crime as well.
Do you have any specific evidence?
Or do the police run their investigation solely
based on some woman's vague memory?
If you're going to investigate,
please get the search warrant first.
I have someone waiting,
so if you'll excuse me.
He sounds pretty confident, doesn't he?
That's because he's a genius.
Please forgive him.
Hello, Kunieda-kun?
What happened to you?
- [Kunieda Momoko - Research Associate]
- Isn't this the first time you skipped the class?
I'm sorry, but will you
do me a favor and submit
the faculty meeting
documents to the office?
I've already done that.
Thank you.
I'm going to tell this only to you,
but I'm actually at Euro Park right now.
The seminar trip doesn't start
until tomorrow, does it?
To tell you the truth, Dr. Magata Shiki
may be hiding inside this park.
Why are you telling me this?
Sure enough, what an excellent
research associate you are!
Take care of the rest for me.
Nishinosono-san.
- [Fujiwara Hiroshi, Vice President of Nanocraft]
- Can you spare me a few minutes, please?
Eh?
I've always wanted to have a talk
with Hanawa Rikiya's fiancee.
I also have something I want to ask you.
Can you think of any reason why
Matsumoto-san and Shinjo-san were killed?
I have no idea.
But, I heard the rumor that they were
dating at one time.
They were dating?
Yes.
This is Saikawa speaking.
Did you deliberately make that phone call
when you knew I was listening in?
Yes. I appreciate you taking the bait...
Dr. Magata Shiki.
Hanawa Rikiya started Nanocraft
when he was still at university
and he's made the company grow into
the best software company in the world.
But, do you know why he built
an artificial town in a place like this?
Eh?
To invite you over.
Hanawa just wanted to meet a girl named
Nishinosono Moe in a dramatic way
at the chapel in the land of dreams.
I decided to meet you
in this place a long time ago.
To be honest, this is
making me really angry.
Why does a leading software development
company like Nanocraft
have to make huge investment in order
to build an old-fashioned town like this?
It's so ridiculous.
Oh, yes! I'll show you something good.
Something good?
Dr. Magata, where are you right now?
You already know the answer.
You're hiding somewhere in Euro Park,
aren't you?
You were hiding as well.
Why did you call me?
I'm going to give you a piece of advice,
regarding Nishinosono-san.
I'm such a meddler, aren't I?
What are you going to do to her?
According to my calculation
Nishinosono-san will be murdered
by the end of the day.
Please get on the elevator at the hotel.
I'll show you the way.
This is it.
What's this place for?
This is our research facility
for new technology.
Please come this way.
This is the room for testers.
And this is the imaging room.
I see.
I have some preparations to do,
so will you please wait in the next room?
Oh, yes.
Fujiwara-san, what are you doing?
Just showing the state-of-the-art technology
of Nanocraft to our major shareholder.
Now, go ahead and start.
Wow!
Wow, this is amazing!
It's a hologram, isn't it?
I prefer to look a little
younger, but...
unfortunately it reproduces accurately
to an inch.
Is it synchronized with your movement
in the next room?
Yes. It's only one-way at this point, but will
become bidirectional in the future.
I can meet you no matter
how far we're apart.
Who is that person?
What person?
There's a knight dressed in armor...
Eh, Fujiwara-san?
Who are you?
Nishinosono-san.
I'm right here.
Dr. Magata!
I can even enter into your body.
And into your sealed memory as well.
Please don't!
Please don't!
Nishinosono-san, what's wrong?
Nishinosono-kun! Nishinosono-kun!
Nishinosono-kun!
[Dr. Magata Shiki]
Nishinosono-san.
Come out from there.
Because you're crying,
everybody else can't play.
Did my father and mother... die?
That's right.
Did I also...?
No, you're alive.
Why?
Other Moes around you have been hiding
from the crying you.
You, who have a yearning for death.
What will happen when I die?
Some other Moe will replace you.
And she'll cry instead.
Then... let me die, only me.
Please?
Just go ahead and die if
that's what you want.
That's right. Death is merely a reset.
Nishinosono-kun! Nishinosono-kun!
Nishinosono-kun!
Professor Saikawa...
Nishinosono-kun! Nishinosono-kun!
- Professor Saikawa.
- Are you alright?
Dr. Magata entered into my body.
She told me to go ahead and die, so I...
Calm down. Just calm down.
Everything is alright now.
You must be Professor Saikawa.
I apologize for intruding
like this all of a sudden
Fujiwara-san got
stabbed with a knife...
An armored knight appeared
from nowhere
and Fujiwara-san got stabbed.
But, that was just a hologram.
It's not like he was stabbed for real.
Call the police immediately.
What?
He's been killed.
That can't be...
[The Perfect Insider]
[Episode 10]
Subtitles by DramaFever
It was Dr. Magata who
killed Fujiwara-san.
The armored knight was Dr. Magata.
What you saw was a hologram.
The murder took place
in the locked room.
It's another impossible murder.
Nishinosono-san.
Detective Shibaike.
We just came back from the crime scene.
Another strange incident, isn't it?
What about the culprit who
stabbed Fujiwara-san?
We have no idea.
However, a female researcher, who was
in the control room at the time,
has disappeared.
Was she the one wearing a mask?
She's a temporary employee,
who was hired about a month ago
under the false name of Kuwahara Midori.
We've already set up checkpoints
around the park
so she won't be able to run away.
Isn't it possible for her to hide
somewhere inside this building?
That's why we're going to run
a door-to-door investigation.
Every hotel guest will be
transferred to the rental villas
inside the park after
identity verification.
What's the matter? You look pale.
You've known this all along.
Of course.
An error in the program God had created.
That's the human race.
I wonder how Hanawa Rikiya,
the genius, will handle this?
Erase Nishinosono-san
and Professor Saikawa,
who happened to
witness the murder.
By any chance, do you already
have a plan to kill me also?
Perhaps... the escaped woman in a mask
might have been Dr. Magata.
That's certainly a possibility
I can't deny.
Since she has experience
disguising herself
as her sister during
that case last year.
Ms. Kunieda and Hamanaka-san.
What are you two doing here?
Ms. Kunieda forced me to
come one day early
for putting on a last spurt
on my master's thesis.
This is a special training camp for him.
Kunieda-kun, it can't possibly
be, so did you
come early because
you were worried about...?
No. I just wanted to find out
what was happening here.
There have been several
murders inside Euro Park.
Murders?
By any chance, does a
woman wearing a mask
have something to do with those murders?
Eh? How did you know that?
We saw her on the other side of the lake
just a while ago.
What do you think she's doing?
Professor Saikawa.
Yeah.
Matsumoto-san.
[Matsumoto Takuya - Programmer]
Huh? His arm is intact.
Why?
An artificial town.
Fantasy and reality.
The Dark Knight.
The torn arm.
The secret elevator.
Perfectly locked room.
Impossible murder.
A hologram.
'And receive a piece of bread
from our father.'
Magata Shiki.
So, they've actually been showing us
a dream all along, haven't they?
You have no choice but to accept.
- This proposition has been proved.
- This proposition has been proved.
Professor Saikawa? Professor?
Are you alright?
Let's go, Nishinosono-kun.
Come in.
Good heavens!
Here is a well-matched couple.
Hanawa-san.
We've found Matsumoto-san's
corpse by the lake.
Is that so?
I wonder if someone was trying
to dispose it in the lake?
Now your plan is all over.
Did you figure out all of it?
The trick in this case?
Yes.
This whole thing was planned
for Nishinosono-san, you know?
Just like the world in the video game,
I thought I could create
the reality in any way I wanted.
You tried to use Dr. Magata Shiki.
I received an email a year ago.
The sender was... Magata Shiki.
The genius programmer, who is said
to be the closest to God
was proposing to become my
business partner.
Can you imagine how excited I was?
I thought I could make use of
Magata Shiki.
But...
a human can't possibly
control God, you know?
She is the true genius.
I'm no more than a mediocre person
who is good at pretending
to be a genius.
Hanawa-san...
Hanawa-san, will you please
lend us the pass key
to get on the elevator
for the executives?
We're going to see Dr. Magata.
Are you sure you want to do that?
Even all that must be
already in the program
Dr. Magata has written, you know?
Yes, I suppose so.
Good evening.
Dr. Magata.
Isn't it beautiful?
Life also comes and goes, you know?
We're from the
Kanagawa Prefectural Police.
Where's Nishinosono Moe-san?
Huh? Nishinosono-san and
Professor Saikawa?
What, what, what? Magata Shiki?
- They're in the chapel.
- Yeah, the chapel.
- And where is it?
- This way.
Oh, okay.
- Hurry up!
- Yes!
Since the murder case a year ago
you've been sheltered by
Hanawa Rikiya-san
and hiding in this chapel all this time.
Yes, I've been waiting for you two.
Ukai!
Where's Moe?
She's inside the chapel!
[Nishinosono Shosuke - Moe's uncle]
What's going on?
She was in here for sure.
Get Hanawa Rikiya of Nanocraft.
I want to talk to him.
Eh?
As soon as possible!
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
I've solved the problem.
It takes about four seconds to go from
the first floor down to the
basement of the hotel.
But, with the executive
elevator we just took...
it only took about two seconds
from the basement to get here.
That means, this is not at the ground
level, but still underground.
They built the exact same chapel
underneath the one on the ground.
And that's why the skylight
in this chapel was never broken.
I hope that you now understand
a little bit about
how meaningless and what an unstable
virtual image the reality is.
Will you tell us what we've been seeing
for the last two days here?
Professor Saikawa already
knows the answer.
Impossible murders took place
many times in our presence.
But if we stack up only the facts,
the answer is self-evident.
Only the facts?
First, there was Matsumoto Takuya-san's
corpse in the chapel on the ground level.
Next, when Nishinosono-kun looked,
the corpse had vanished.
That's the only fact.
No one verified the phenomena
in Shinjo-san's testimony
in which the corpse
went out through the
skylight and his arm
fell down afterward.
You're right.
Shinjo-san could have
been lying about that.
How about the incident
where Shinjo-san was killed?
The culprit wasn't hiding in that room.
All windows were locked from inside
and the room was totally inaccessible.
Those are the facts.
There's only one answer which
can be derived from these facts.
Shinjo-san wasn't dead.
That is, she hadn't been murdered.
Eh, that can't be...
Nishinosono-kun, did you confirm
whether Shinjo-san was dead or not?
No, but Detective Shibaike did...
I'm assuming that only your observation
is the fact here.
In that case, it's only reasonable
to think he was lying.
Detective Shibaike was lying?
Not just him. The police officers,
the forensics, and the ambulance crew.
If you consider all
of them were fake
every mysterious phenomena
can be explained.
But, I also contacted Detective Ukai
in the middle.
Your phone call was tapped.
I'll contact the
Aichi Prefectural Police
and make an arrangement right away.
Before he contacted the Aichi
Prefectural Police headquarters
Shibaike-san must have called
Detective Ukai to follow up.
Hello, this is Ukai speaking.
I got your phone number from
Nishinosono-san.
My name is Shibaike of the
Aichi Prefectural Police.
And he told Detective Ukai that he would
report to the headquarters himself.
While breaking your contact
with the outside like that
they were showing you a magnificent play
using the staff of Euro Park.
A play?
But, don't you remember
Matsumoto-san
and Fujiwara-san were
both killed for real?
No one was supposed to
die in the original plan.
What?
As well as the Dark Knight incident
the murders of Matsumoto-san,
Shinjo-san, and Fujiwara-san.
They were supposed to be all fake.
After Fujiwara-san was killed,
all the people
you thought were dead would
make their appearance.
The plot must have been
something like that.
Eh? Then, the masked
woman was Shinjo-san?
Yeah.
What an elaborate prank,
don't you think?
Why would they do such a thing?
President Hanawa set it up in order to
get your attention, Nishinosono-kun.
Were you surprised?
This whole thing was planned
for Nishinosono-san, you know?
But, how did it turn into
the real murders?
The culprit is Shinjo-san.
Shinjo-san?
She's coming! Now, do as we planned.
Shinjo-san personally decided
to change the plan
and murdered Matsumoto-san for real.
Why did she do that?
It was her personal grudge.
Was there something between them
because they used to date?
It's a truly average reason,
so there's no need to explain.
Shinjo-san took advantage
of the fake murder.
Because no one would think that
Matsumoto-san was killed for real.
And she was planning to cover it
up by making it appear
that Matsumoto-san had
disappeared afterward.
Oh!
But, I happened to check on
Matsumoto-san's corpse.
Shinjo-san must have
been surprised by that.
She never thought you
would touch the corpse.
Hurry up and get someone!
In order to cover up her crime,
she had to come up with a new plan.
A new plan?
Right.
That's why she killed
Vice President Fujiwara.
At the time, before he was
projected as a hologram
Shinjo-san had already
killed Fujiwara-san.
Then, what appeared in front of me?
Shinjo-san had prepared
the video and audio beforehand.
He's been killed.
That can't be...
And at that time,
President Hanawa finally realized
the fake murder had been
switched to the real one.
If she takes things that far
President Hanawa will cover
up the whole crime.
That's how Shinjo-san anticipated.
I say it's an extremely fragile plan
but President Hanawa would have done so.
But, I'm not going to keep
silent about that.
In that case, you would
have gone missing.
You mean, I would have been killed?
And that's why you called me out to
the crime scene where
Fujiwara-san was killed.
The person who drew up this plan
was you, Dr. Magata.
Yes.
It was an experiment to assess the gap
between fantasy and reality.
But, you were aware
of the possibility that
this plan might be turned
into real murders.
Because a human is a defective product.
Why did you do such things to me?
In order to examine
your unique structure.
My structure?
Because of the death of your parents
you're blindly blocking an emotion
towards someone's
death for self-defense.
That's why you've always been
able to look into the case
even when you see terrible murders
with your own eyes.
You can't just decide like that.
And...
you have a yearning for
death within yourself.
Your mental absence was very similar to
a mental distortion I
experienced when I was young.
Similar to yours?
So, I wanted to examine how you were
keeping yourself balanced.
What was the answer?
It's Professor Saikawa.
You make up for your imperfection
by placing Professor Saikawa in the
opposite end of yourself
destined to death.
You must be aware of it yourself.
The fact that you've been kept alive
by the presence of Professor Saikawa.
Let's solve the problem together.
From Saikawa.
You've finally let yourself cry,
Nishinosono-san.
You're alright now.
Dr. Magata.
You actually did everything
to save Nishinosono-kun...?
Nishinosono-san.
You should set Professor Saikawa
free already.
What I'm after is you,
Professor Saikawa.
You have the same structure as mine.
You're not mixed together.
Good and evil.
Light and darkness.
There are several of you inside.
But, you're sacrificing yourself
in order to protect Nishinosono-san.
I wanted you to become free.
I'm sure that's what you want
deep inside your heart.
That can't be...
Am I right, Professor Saikawa?
Come with me... together.
Wait, Professor Saikawa.
To the ideal world, where you get
the pure pleasure of thinking
without any interruption.
Don't go, Professor Saikawa!
Professor Saikawa!
Please don't go, Professor Saikawa!
Professor Saikawa!
Professor Saikawa!
Professor Saikawa!
Professor Saikawa!
Professor Saikawa!
Moe!
Moe!
Are you alright?
Moe!
Professor Saikawa went...
Nishinosono-san!
Where's Magata Shiki?
- There's a stairway.
- Run after them!
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
Moe?
Moe!
I've always wanted to walk with you
like this for hours.
Me too, Dr. Magata.
Why do you think I do things like this?
I've been admiring you all this time.
I wanted to live my life like you.
I wanted to know the world
you were seeing.
Where do you think we're going now?
We can go anywhere we want.
Human bodies can't
transcend time and space.
However, our thought is free.
It can leap anywhere.
There'll be no need to
take action anymore.
Right.
Since body movement is just
a waste of time and energy.
Yes.
Being alive is actually a waste itself.
Professor Saikawa.
I've been already dead for ages.
There's no need for me to
mingle with society
or even to bite off a piece of bread.
I can just immerse myself in
the world of thought.
What a luxury you have.
That's true freedom, isn't it?
But, Dr. Magata.
Isn't it too... lonely?
Loneliness is an emotion that belongs
to someone who needs others.
Do you think someone like me
needs help from other people?
No, you don't need it.
But, I'm not a genius like you.
In order to continue living,
I must mingle
with other people and
bite off a piece of bread.
It's time to say good-bye,
Professor Saikawa.
When we see each other next
it'll probably be when
one of us is dead.
Didn't you just tell me you've
been dead this whole time?
Yes, many times over.
Perhaps I may be the same.
What will you do if I die?
I'll quit smoking for that one day.
If you die, I want to let myself cry.
Just for once, I want to let myself cry.
I hope you can do it.
Me, too.
Dr. Magata.
I'm going to return this to you.
So long.
So long.
Moe.
Why don't you go inside?
Where's Professor Saikawa?
We haven't found him yet.
Uncle Shosuke.
Professor Saikawa was really there,
wasn't he?
What?
He was always by my side, wasn't he?
What are you talking about?
Professor Saikawa could be...
Professor Saikawa.
Professor Saikawa!
Good morning, Nishinosono-kun.
Where have you been?
I went walking on the beach
with Dr. Magata.
What?
In the virtual space, of course.
The Dr. Magata we were seeing
was a hologram.
She was never at Euro Park
from the beginning.
Why did you come back?
Hmm? Well, because I got hungry.
Hologram bread can't fill my
empty stomach, you know?
Didn't you want to live
your life like Dr. Magata
in the world of pure thought
without mingling with other people?
Even though I don't look like it,
I actually have bad tastes.
This, for example.
It'll be so annoying that I can't smoke.
Also, there are times food tastes better
if I'm eating with someone.
Now, let's have some breakfast together.
Are you sure you're okay...
if I'm with you from now on?
Nishinosono-kun.
That problem is not important here.
Eh?
The answer is self-evident.

[Master's Thesis by Hamanaka Fukashi]
Well?
Ms. Kunieda?
Okay.
Ms. Kunieda!
Ou...ch!
Sorry!
- Here's a souvenir from the trip.
- Thanks.
Did you buy these cookies
at the murder scene?
- I'll make some tea.
- Thank you.
Oh, Professor Saikawa!
I've solved the problem.
Which problem are you talking about?
It was Gido-san's neighbor
who told her about
the video game created by
Nanocraft, wasn't it?
So what?
Gido-san, what was the name
of your neighbor?
Seto-san, Seto Chii-san.
She moved out yesterday.
Did you notice?
Seto Chii.
If you read it upside down,
it's 'ichitose'
Yes, it means the four seasons,
which are 'shiki'.
I wonder if Dr. Magata Shiki was
actually in the next room?
That's an interesting hypothesis.
Let's verify it.
Yes.
What?
Hey, where are you going?
Professor Saikawa.
Yeah.
Dr. Magata was here, just as I thought.
'You, the chosen one.'
'Kneel down here...'
'And receive a piece of
bread from our father.'
Serial murders at the theme park.
In one incident, the corpse vanished
with leaving just its arm behind.
In the other, the culprit vanished
in the perfectly locked room.
Dr. Magata Shiki must be
behind this case.
You mean, she's hiding
somewhere in Euro Park?
'The death of Nishinosono Moe.'
That was also a message from Dr. Magata.
Moe's fiancee, Hanawa Rikiya,
was connected to Magata Shiki.
After getting caught in Hanawa's trap,
Moe finally met Shiki face-to-face.
- Dr. Magata.
- There will be another murder.
For heaven's sake!
Please stop it already...
[Nishinosono Moe]
Professor Saikawa,
this isn't a dream, is it?
That's my understanding at least.
What's the definition of reality?
It's an illusion which appears
in human thought
only at the moment when he wonders
what the definition of reality is.
It doesn't exist in the first place.
Are you saying, there's no meaning
in such things as reality?
Dr. Magata was saying
something similar to that.
You and Dr. Magata are...
very much alike.
The structure of yours is
very similar to mine.
I tell you, a detective should be
on the run all the time. That's the basics.
[Ukai Daisuke - Detective]
[Katagiri Mokoto - Detective]
Hello, this is Ukai.
Oh, Detective Ukai.
This is Nishinosono.
Oh, Nishinosono-san?
I'm in Nagono City in
Aichi Prefecture right now.
And I called my uncle for an urgent matter,
but he didn't answer the phone.
Oh, the chief is on a business trip to Los
Angeles and he won't be back til tomorrow.
Is that so?
Then, will you do me a favor instead?
Yes, please tell me if there's anything I can do.
For Nishinosono-san, this Ukai Daisuke
will do anything with all my heart.
I saw Magata Shiki.
What? What? What? What?
You mean, that Magata Shiki?
It's Euro Park, which is operated by the
computer software company, Nanocraft.
Dr. Magata Shiki is hiding
somewhere in there.
Please make a request
for the immediate search.
Understood. I'll contact the Aichi Prefectural
Police and make an arrangement right away.
We received a call from
the Kanagawa Prefectural Police.
I heard that you had seen Magata Shiki
inside Euro Park.
So, you know about
Dr. Magata, Detective Shibaike?
Of course, I know.
Dr. Magata has something to do with
the murders of Matsumoto-san and Shinjo-san.
Also, she warned me that there would be
another murder.
What?
Where's Dr. Magata?
She's somewhere in the research facility
beneath the hotel, isn't she?
What are you talking about?
You drugged me and took me to the place
where Dr. Magata was, didn't you?
Is the Dr. Magata you're talking about
the famous Dr. Magata Shiki?
Don't play innocent, please.
Perhaps I shouldn't say this
but Nishinosono-san came here yesterday
- and drank too much, then fell asleep.
- Liquor?
So, I had no choice but
to take her back to her room.
That's a lie!
Hanawa-san.
Magata Shiki is the culprit of serial murders.
If you're sheltering her,
you'll be charged with a crime as well.
Do you have any specific evidence?
Or do the police run their investigation solely
based on some woman's vague memory?
If you're going to investigate,
please get the search warrant first.
I have someone waiting,
so if you'll excuse me.
He sounds pretty confident, doesn't he?
That's because he's a genius.
Please forgive him.
Hello, Kunieda-kun?
What happened to you?
- [Kunieda Momoko - Research Associate]
- Isn't this the first time you skipped the class?
I'm sorry, but will you
do me a favor and submit
the faculty meeting
documents to the office?
I've already done that.
Thank you.
I'm going to tell this only to you,
but I'm actually at Euro Park right now.
The seminar trip doesn't start
until tomorrow, does it?
To tell you the truth, Dr. Magata Shiki
may be hiding inside this park.
Why are you telling me this?
Sure enough, what an excellent
research associate you are!
Take care of the rest for me.
Nishinosono-san.
- [Fujiwara Hiroshi, Vice President of Nanocraft]
- Can you spare me a few minutes, please?
Eh?
I've always wanted to have a talk
with Hanawa Rikiya's fiancee.
I also have something I want to ask you.
Can you think of any reason why
Matsumoto-san and Shinjo-san were killed?
I have no idea.
But, I heard the rumor that they were
dating at one time.
They were dating?
Yes.
This is Saikawa speaking.
Did you deliberately make that phone call
when you knew I was listening in?
Yes. I appreciate you taking the bait...
Dr. Magata Shiki.
Hanawa Rikiya started Nanocraft
when he was still at university
and he's made the company grow into
the best software company in the world.
But, do you know why he built
an artificial town in a place like this?
Eh?
To invite you over.
Hanawa just wanted to meet a girl named
Nishinosono Moe in a dramatic way
at the chapel in the land of dreams.
I decided to meet you
in this place a long time ago.
To be honest, this is
making me really angry.
Why does a leading software development
company like Nanocraft
have to make huge investment in order
to build an old-fashioned town like this?
It's so ridiculous.
Oh, yes! I'll show you something good.
Something good?
Dr. Magata, where are you right now?
You already know the answer.
You're hiding somewhere in Euro Park,
aren't you?
You were hiding as well.
Why did you call me?
I'm going to give you a piece of advice,
regarding Nishinosono-san.
I'm such a meddler, aren't I?
What are you going to do to her?
According to my calculation
Nishinosono-san will be murdered
by the end of the day.
Please get on the elevator at the hotel.
I'll show you the way.
This is it.
What's this place for?
This is our research facility
for new technology.
Please come this way.
This is the room for testers.
And this is the imaging room.
I see.
I have some preparations to do,
so will you please wait in the next room?
Oh, yes.
Fujiwara-san, what are you doing?
Just showing the state-of-the-art technology
of Nanocraft to our major shareholder.
Now, go ahead and start.
Wow!
Wow, this is amazing!
It's a hologram, isn't it?
I prefer to look a little
younger, but...
unfortunately it reproduces accurately
to an inch.
Is it synchronized with your movement
in the next room?
Yes. It's only one-way at this point, but will
become bidirectional in the future.
I can meet you no matter
how far we're apart.
Who is that person?
What person?
There's a knight dressed in armor...
Eh, Fujiwara-san?
Who are you?
Nishinosono-san.
I'm right here.
Dr. Magata!
I can even enter into your body.
And into your sealed memory as well.
Please don't!
Please don't!
Nishinosono-san, what's wrong?
Nishinosono-kun! Nishinosono-kun!
Nishinosono-kun!
[Dr. Magata Shiki]
Nishinosono-san.
Come out from there.
Because you're crying,
everybody else can't play.
Did my father and mother... die?
That's right.
Did I also...?
No, you're alive.
Why?
Other Moes around you have been hiding
from the crying you.
You, who have a yearning for death.
What will happen when I die?
Some other Moe will replace you.
And she'll cry instead.
Then... let me die, only me.
Please?
Just go ahead and die if
that's what you want.
That's right. Death is merely a reset.
Nishinosono-kun! Nishinosono-kun!
Nishinosono-kun!
Professor Saikawa...
Nishinosono-kun! Nishinosono-kun!
- Professor Saikawa.
- Are you alright?
Dr. Magata entered into my body.
She told me to go ahead and die, so I...
Calm down. Just calm down.
Everything is alright now.
You must be Professor Saikawa.
I apologize for intruding
like this all of a sudden
Fujiwara-san got
stabbed with a knife...
An armored knight appeared
from nowhere
and Fujiwara-san got stabbed.
But, that was just a hologram.
It's not like he was stabbed for real.
Call the police immediately.
What?
He's been killed.
That can't be...
[The Perfect Insider]
[Episode 10]
Subtitles by DramaFever
It was Dr. Magata who
killed Fujiwara-san.
The armored knight was Dr. Magata.
What you saw was a hologram.
The murder took place
in the locked room.
It's another impossible murder.
Nishinosono-san.
Detective Shibaike.
We just came back from the crime scene.
Another strange incident, isn't it?
What about the culprit who
stabbed Fujiwara-san?
We have no idea.
However, a female researcher, who was
in the control room at the time,
has disappeared.
Was she the one wearing a mask?
She's a temporary employee,
who was hired about a month ago
under the false name of Kuwahara Midori.
We've already set up checkpoints
around the park
so she won't be able to run away.
Isn't it possible for her to hide
somewhere inside this building?
That's why we're going to run
a door-to-door investigation.
Every hotel guest will be
transferred to the rental villas
inside the park after
identity verification.
What's the matter? You look pale.
You've known this all along.
Of course.
An error in the program God had created.
That's the human race.
I wonder how Hanawa Rikiya,
the genius, will handle this?
Erase Nishinosono-san
and Professor Saikawa,
who happened to
witness the murder.
By any chance, do you already
have a plan to kill me also?
Perhaps... the escaped woman in a mask
might have been Dr. Magata.
That's certainly a possibility
I can't deny.
Since she has experience
disguising herself
as her sister during
that case last year.
Ms. Kunieda and Hamanaka-san.
What are you two doing here?
Ms. Kunieda forced me to
come one day early
for putting on a last spurt
on my master's thesis.
This is a special training camp for him.
Kunieda-kun, it can't possibly
be, so did you
come early because
you were worried about...?
No. I just wanted to find out
what was happening here.
There have been several
murders inside Euro Park.
Murders?
By any chance, does a
woman wearing a mask
have something to do with those murders?
Eh? How did you know that?
We saw her on the other side of the lake
just a while ago.
What do you think she's doing?
Professor Saikawa.
Yeah.
Matsumoto-san.
[Matsumoto Takuya - Programmer]
Huh? His arm is intact.
Why?
An artificial town.
Fantasy and reality.
The Dark Knight.
The torn arm.
The secret elevator.
Perfectly locked room.
Impossible murder.
A hologram.
'And receive a piece of bread
from our father.'
Magata Shiki.
So, they've actually been showing us
a dream all along, haven't they?
You have no choice but to accept.
- This proposition has been proved.
- This proposition has been proved.
Professor Saikawa? Professor?
Are you alright?
Let's go, Nishinosono-kun.
Come in.
Good heavens!
Here is a well-matched couple.
Hanawa-san.
We've found Matsumoto-san's
corpse by the lake.
Is that so?
I wonder if someone was trying
to dispose it in the lake?
Now your plan is all over.
Did you figure out all of it?
The trick in this case?
Yes.
This whole thing was planned
for Nishinosono-san, you know?
Just like the world in the video game,
I thought I could create
the reality in any way I wanted.
You tried to use Dr. Magata Shiki.
I received an email a year ago.
The sender was... Magata Shiki.
The genius programmer, who is said
to be the closest to God
was proposing to become my
business partner.
Can you imagine how excited I was?
I thought I could make use of
Magata Shiki.
But...
a human can't possibly
control God, you know?
She is the true genius.
I'm no more than a mediocre person
who is good at pretending
to be a genius.
Hanawa-san...
Hanawa-san, will you please
lend us the pass key
to get on the elevator
for the executives?
We're going to see Dr. Magata.
Are you sure you want to do that?
Even all that must be
already in the program
Dr. Magata has written, you know?
Yes, I suppose so.
Good evening.
Dr. Magata.
Isn't it beautiful?
Life also comes and goes, you know?
We're from the
Kanagawa Prefectural Police.
Where's Nishinosono Moe-san?
Huh? Nishinosono-san and
Professor Saikawa?
What, what, what? Magata Shiki?
- They're in the chapel.
- Yeah, the chapel.
- And where is it?
- This way.
Oh, okay.
- Hurry up!
- Yes!
Since the murder case a year ago
you've been sheltered by
Hanawa Rikiya-san
and hiding in this chapel all this time.
Yes, I've been waiting for you two.
Ukai!
Where's Moe?
She's inside the chapel!
[Nishinosono Shosuke - Moe's uncle]
What's going on?
She was in here for sure.
Get Hanawa Rikiya of Nanocraft.
I want to talk to him.
Eh?
As soon as possible!
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
I've solved the problem.
It takes about four seconds to go from
the first floor down to the
basement of the hotel.
But, with the executive
elevator we just took...
it only took about two seconds
from the basement to get here.
That means, this is not at the ground
level, but still underground.
They built the exact same chapel
underneath the one on the ground.
And that's why the skylight
in this chapel was never broken.
I hope that you now understand
a little bit about
how meaningless and what an unstable
virtual image the reality is.
Will you tell us what we've been seeing
for the last two days here?
Professor Saikawa already
knows the answer.
Impossible murders took place
many times in our presence.
But if we stack up only the facts,
the answer is self-evident.
Only the facts?
First, there was Matsumoto Takuya-san's
corpse in the chapel on the ground level.
Next, when Nishinosono-kun looked,
the corpse had vanished.
That's the only fact.
No one verified the phenomena
in Shinjo-san's testimony
in which the corpse
went out through the
skylight and his arm
fell down afterward.
You're right.
Shinjo-san could have
been lying about that.
How about the incident
where Shinjo-san was killed?
The culprit wasn't hiding in that room.
All windows were locked from inside
and the room was totally inaccessible.
Those are the facts.
There's only one answer which
can be derived from these facts.
Shinjo-san wasn't dead.
That is, she hadn't been murdered.
Eh, that can't be...
Nishinosono-kun, did you confirm
whether Shinjo-san was dead or not?
No, but Detective Shibaike did...
I'm assuming that only your observation
is the fact here.
In that case, it's only reasonable
to think he was lying.
Detective Shibaike was lying?
Not just him. The police officers,
the forensics, and the ambulance crew.
If you consider all
of them were fake
every mysterious phenomena
can be explained.
But, I also contacted Detective Ukai
in the middle.
Your phone call was tapped.
I'll contact the
Aichi Prefectural Police
and make an arrangement right away.
Before he contacted the Aichi
Prefectural Police headquarters
Shibaike-san must have called
Detective Ukai to follow up.
Hello, this is Ukai speaking.
I got your phone number from
Nishinosono-san.
My name is Shibaike of the
Aichi Prefectural Police.
And he told Detective Ukai that he would
report to the headquarters himself.
While breaking your contact
with the outside like that
they were showing you a magnificent play
using the staff of Euro Park.
A play?
But, don't you remember
Matsumoto-san
and Fujiwara-san were
both killed for real?
No one was supposed to
die in the original plan.
What?
As well as the Dark Knight incident
the murders of Matsumoto-san,
Shinjo-san, and Fujiwara-san.
They were supposed to be all fake.
After Fujiwara-san was killed,
all the people
you thought were dead would
make their appearance.
The plot must have been
something like that.
Eh? Then, the masked
woman was Shinjo-san?
Yeah.
What an elaborate prank,
don't you think?
Why would they do such a thing?
President Hanawa set it up in order to
get your attention, Nishinosono-kun.
Were you surprised?
This whole thing was planned
for Nishinosono-san, you know?
But, how did it turn into
the real murders?
The culprit is Shinjo-san.
Shinjo-san?
She's coming! Now, do as we planned.
Shinjo-san personally decided
to change the plan
and murdered Matsumoto-san for real.
Why did she do that?
It was her personal grudge.
Was there something between them
because they used to date?
It's a truly average reason,
so there's no need to explain.
Shinjo-san took advantage
of the fake murder.
Because no one would think that
Matsumoto-san was killed for real.
And she was planning to cover it
up by making it appear
that Matsumoto-san had
disappeared afterward.
Oh!
But, I happened to check on
Matsumoto-san's corpse.
Shinjo-san must have
been surprised by that.
She never thought you
would touch the corpse.
Hurry up and get someone!
In order to cover up her crime,
she had to come up with a new plan.
A new plan?
Right.
That's why she killed
Vice President Fujiwara.
At the time, before he was
projected as a hologram
Shinjo-san had already
killed Fujiwara-san.
Then, what appeared in front of me?
Shinjo-san had prepared
the video and audio beforehand.
He's been killed.
That can't be...
And at that time,
President Hanawa finally realized
the fake murder had been
switched to the real one.
If she takes things that far
President Hanawa will cover
up the whole crime.
That's how Shinjo-san anticipated.
I say it's an extremely fragile plan
but President Hanawa would have done so.
But, I'm not going to keep
silent about that.
In that case, you would
have gone missing.
You mean, I would have been killed?
And that's why you called me out to
the crime scene where
Fujiwara-san was killed.
The person who drew up this plan
was you, Dr. Magata.
Yes.
It was an experiment to assess the gap
between fantasy and reality.
But, you were aware
of the possibility that
this plan might be turned
into real murders.
Because a human is a defective product.
Why did you do such things to me?
In order to examine
your unique structure.
My structure?
Because of the death of your parents
you're blindly blocking an emotion
towards someone's
death for self-defense.
That's why you've always been
able to look into the case
even when you see terrible murders
with your own eyes.
You can't just decide like that.
And...
you have a yearning for
death within yourself.
Your mental absence was very similar to
a mental distortion I
experienced when I was young.
Similar to yours?
So, I wanted to examine how you were
keeping yourself balanced.
What was the answer?
It's Professor Saikawa.
You make up for your imperfection
by placing Professor Saikawa in the
opposite end of yourself
destined to death.
You must be aware of it yourself.
The fact that you've been kept alive
by the presence of Professor Saikawa.
Let's solve the problem together.
From Saikawa.
You've finally let yourself cry,
Nishinosono-san.
You're alright now.
Dr. Magata.
You actually did everything
to save Nishinosono-kun...?
Nishinosono-san.
You should set Professor Saikawa
free already.
What I'm after is you,
Professor Saikawa.
You have the same structure as mine.
You're not mixed together.
Good and evil.
Light and darkness.
There are several of you inside.
But, you're sacrificing yourself
in order to protect Nishinosono-san.
I wanted you to become free.
I'm sure that's what you want
deep inside your heart.
That can't be...
Am I right, Professor Saikawa?
Come with me... together.
Wait, Professor Saikawa.
To the ideal world, where you get
the pure pleasure of thinking
without any interruption.
Don't go, Professor Saikawa!
Professor Saikawa!
Please don't go, Professor Saikawa!
Professor Saikawa!
Professor Saikawa!
Professor Saikawa!
Professor Saikawa!
Professor Saikawa!
Moe!
Moe!
Are you alright?
Moe!
Professor Saikawa went...
Nishinosono-san!
Where's Magata Shiki?
- There's a stairway.
- Run after them!
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
Moe?
Moe!
I've always wanted to walk with you
like this for hours.
Me too, Dr. Magata.
Why do you think I do things like this?
I've been admiring you all this time.
I wanted to live my life like you.
I wanted to know the world
you were seeing.
Where do you think we're going now?
We can go anywhere we want.
Human bodies can't
transcend time and space.
However, our thought is free.
It can leap anywhere.
There'll be no need to
take action anymore.
Right.
Since body movement is just
a waste of time and energy.
Yes.
Being alive is actually a waste itself.
Professor Saikawa.
I've been already dead for ages.
There's no need for me to
mingle with society
or even to bite off a piece of bread.
I can just immerse myself in
the world of thought.
What a luxury you have.
That's true freedom, isn't it?
But, Dr. Magata.
Isn't it too... lonely?
Loneliness is an emotion that belongs
to someone who needs others.
Do you think someone like me
needs help from other people?
No, you don't need it.
But, I'm not a genius like you.
In order to continue living,
I must mingle
with other people and
bite off a piece of bread.
It's time to say good-bye,
Professor Saikawa.
When we see each other next
it'll probably be when
one of us is dead.
Didn't you just tell me you've
been dead this whole time?
Yes, many times over.
Perhaps I may be the same.
What will you do if I die?
I'll quit smoking for that one day.
If you die, I want to let myself cry.
Just for once, I want to let myself cry.
I hope you can do it.
Me, too.
Dr. Magata.
I'm going to return this to you.
So long.
So long.
Moe.
Why don't you go inside?
Where's Professor Saikawa?
We haven't found him yet.
Uncle Shosuke.
Professor Saikawa was really there,
wasn't he?
What?
He was always by my side, wasn't he?
What are you talking about?
Professor Saikawa could be...
Professor Saikawa.
Professor Saikawa!
Good morning, Nishinosono-kun.
Where have you been?
I went walking on the beach
with Dr. Magata.
What?
In the virtual space, of course.
The Dr. Magata we were seeing
was a hologram.
She was never at Euro Park
from the beginning.
Why did you come back?
Hmm? Well, because I got hungry.
Hologram bread can't fill my
empty stomach, you know?
Didn't you want to live
your life like Dr. Magata
in the world of pure thought
without mingling with other people?
Even though I don't look like it,
I actually have bad tastes.
This, for example.
It'll be so annoying that I can't smoke.
Also, there are times food tastes better
if I'm eating with someone.
Now, let's have some breakfast together.
Are you sure you're okay...
if I'm with you from now on?
Nishinosono-kun.
That problem is not important here.
Eh?
The answer is self-evident.

[Master's Thesis by Hamanaka Fukashi]
Well?
Ms. Kunieda?
Okay.
Ms. Kunieda!
Ou...ch!
Sorry!
- Here's a souvenir from the trip.
- Thanks.
Did you buy these cookies
at the murder scene?
- I'll make some tea.
- Thank you.
Oh, Professor Saikawa!
I've solved the problem.
Which problem are you talking about?
It was Gido-san's neighbor
who told her about
the video game created by
Nanocraft, wasn't it?
So what?
Gido-san, what was the name
of your neighbor?
Seto-san, Seto Chii-san.
She moved out yesterday.
Did you notice?
Seto Chii.
If you read it upside down,
it's 'ichitose'
Yes, it means the four seasons,
which are 'shiki'.
I wonder if Dr. Magata Shiki was
actually in the next room?
That's an interesting hypothesis.
Let's verify it.
Yes.
What?
Hey, where are you going?
Professor Saikawa.
Yeah.
Dr. Magata was here, just as I thought.
'You, the chosen one.'
'Kneel down here...'
'And receive a piece of
bread from our father.'
