The Perfect Insider (2014–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript

Previously on 'The Perfect Insider.'

A mysterious incident, which occurred in
a completely locked-room 50 years ago...

Instead of the weapon, a vase
and a box were left at the crime scene.

'The Gourd of Heaven and Earth'
and 'The Box of Selflessness.'

Why are you so interested?

Well... as a souvenir?

We can't show you 'The Gourd of Heaven
and Earth' and 'The Box of Selflessness.'

'You must not open it.'
Right?

The police took X-ray pictures
of the vase and the box.

Look.
You can see the key inside the vase.

However, the opening is too narrow
to take out the key.



Also, another incident took place
in the warehouse that night.

Only the bloodstains were left in the warehouse
and Rinsui was nowhere to be found.

And there were...

The vase and the box.

Marimo-san!

Rinsui-san had disappeared,
and now Marimo-san...

What on earth do you think
happened to them?

The corpse of Mr. Kayama Rinsui
has been discovered.

Rinsui's corpse was discovered around the
scene where Marimo was lying on the ground.

There were many similarities between the current
incident and the one from 50 years ago, but...

The locked-room and the purpose
of this crime are not so important.

Whenever the head of the
Kayama family was stabbed

'The Gourd of Heaven and Earth' and 'The Box
of Selflessness' were present at the scene.

That's the biggest proposition
of this case.



Marimo-san stabbed her father

and disposed the corpse in the river.

- What?
- What's wrong?

Kayama Marimo has disappeared
from the hospital!

Was it Marimo who killed Rinsui...
or someone else?

What secrets might be hidden inside the vase
and the box, which were found near the corpse?

Why did Marimo disappear from the hospital?

It's possible that Marimo-san has
something to do with Rinsui-san's death.

What?

This was lying on the ground
around the back gate of the estate.

According to forensics, it's been determined that
it was Marimo-san who smoked this cigarette.

What?
Why would such a thing be there?

Also, please take a look at these pictures.

This is Marimo-san's car, which had been
abandoned around the Otowa-bashi Bridge.

It was facing in the direction
opposite the estate.

What is that supposed to mean?

It's possible that Marimo-san
was at this estate yesterday.

What?

Marimo-san was found on the Otowa-bashi Bridge,
and 500 meters downstream from there

Mr. Rinsui's corpse was also discovered.

What are you trying to say?

Are you saying that,
it was Marimo who killed my father?

Oh, this is just a hypothesis of mine.

Before 6:00 p.m. yesterday,
Marimo-san arrived at the Kayama residence.

[Kayama Marimo - Daughter of Kayama Rinsui]

But she got into an argument with Rinsui-san,
whom she had not seen in a while

and ended up stabbing him.

Then Marimo-san carried out
his body from the warehouse.

This also matches Yusuke-kun's testimony,
that no one was in the warehouse at 6:00 p.m.

He's not there anymore.

After that, Marimo-san tried to dispose the corpse
into the river from the Otowa-bashi Bridge.

But Rinsui-san regained consciousness

and after they scuffled with each other,
Rinsui-san fell into the river.

Marimo-san also got injured
and became unconscious.

That can't be!

In that case,
how would you explain the reason

why the warehouse had been locked from
the inside between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m.?

That's right!

If it was between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m.

it must have been my father who locked it
while he was working inside the warehouse.

The door was bolted, but no one actually
saw Rinsui-san in person. Right?

[Yoshimura Masuo - Servant of the Kayama family]
Then, who do you think was inside?

In that case,
there could have been an accomplice.

Why would any of us
want to kill my father?

For example, Takashi-san.
You must have a motive.

Me?

You were trying to sell this estate,
weren't you?

That's...

But the real estate agent testified
that Mr. Rinsui was against it.

What choice do I have?

There's no way to make a living
as a Buddhist painter nowadays!

This house is cursed!

It would be better
to sell off this house!

This looks so cool!

It's Genma Daishogun, lady.

Not 'lady,' say 'miss.'

Miss.

Right.

Nishinosono-kun.

An adult shouldn't twist around the
unaffected sensitivity of a child, you know?

I'm just teaching him
common sense and good manners.

Is Genma Daishogun strong?

No, he's not there anymore.

Not there?

Right, he's not there anymore.

What?

The battery was put in backwards.

Look!

He's there!

I see.

Here, that's enough.

I'm so sorry.

Sorry for the mess.

When I married into this family, I actually wanted
to run away from this house as soon as I could.

How about now?

I've been wiping this balcony by hand
every single day, you know?

It feels like some part of me
has been soaked in here already.

I'm sorry to bore you with my story.

Not at all.

Kelly! Kelly!

I'm sorry, but she barks at everyone.

Oh...

What's the matter?

Come to think of it, she was barking toward
the warehouse when Yusuke came out.

That means, there might've been someone
in the warehouse at around 6:00 p.m.?

But Yusuke said
that no one was in there.

[Kunieda Momoko - Research Associate of
Jinnan University, Dept. of Architecture]

I'm coming in!

[Hamanaka Fukashi - M2 in Architecture]
Oh? Ms. Kunieda, where's Professor Saikawa?

Doing follow-up research on
a Japanese house with Nishinosono-san.

What?

But that was yesterday...

Apparently they spent the night.

Spent the night?

What... what?

Professor Saikawa and Nishinosono-san
spent the night, just the two of them?

Oh, no!

As the seminar leader,
I can't just let it go like that!

This is a serious matter, you know?

Ouch!

You're too loud.

I'm sorry.

Hello, this is the Saikawa lab.

Yes.

What?

Understood. I'll look it up.

Was it Professor Saikawa?
What did he say?

He asked me to do some research
on Genma Daishogun.

Huh?

The detective said
it was okay to clean up.

Do the police still have
the vase and the box?

No, they are back
in Madam's room now.

[The Perfect Insider]
[Episode 4]

Professor Saikawa, you were here.

This warehouse has been treated
with weathering.

Weathering?

It's a coating technique
to make the building look aged.

Both the outer and inner walls of this warehouse
are made of a recent synthetic construction material.

Look at the gap in this door.

It's designed so that the silicon creates a sealed
space and the air conditioner controls ventilation.

I see.

Oh! In order to protect the
paintings from moisture, right?

Yeah.

Mr. Rinsui went through such a time-consuming
renovation to turn this warehouse into his workshop.

Why do you think he went that far?

Who knows? But if you insist,
maybe because he was an artist.

Is that so?

I wonder if he wanted to get closer to his
deceased father, Mr. Fusai, even just a bit...

Dad!

What happened?

Takashi-san!

We'll transport him
to the hospital right away.

How's my husband?

He's got some bruises
on his head and right arm.

Disturbance of consciousness is present,
but both blood pressure and breathing are stable.

Dear...

Takashi-san!

Can you hear me, Takashi-san?
T--

Takashi-san!

Marimo...

What?

Marimo...

Marimo-san was here, wasn't she?

Takashi-san, what happened here?

Stand back, please.
We'll transport him now.

Let's lift him up! One, two, go!

Good!

What on earth is going on here?

Let's search for Marimo-san first.

Detective Ukai, go that way!

We'll go this way, then.

- This way!
- Oh, yes!

Oh... Yusuke-kun.

What's the matter?

Marimo-san isn't there anymore.

What?

She isn't there anymore.

Marimo-san... Marimo-san!

No way... Why?

- Marimo-san!
- Call an ambulance!

- Pull yourself together!
- Yes!

- Go!
- Yes!

Marimo-san!

Detective Ukai, how's Marimo-san?

She regained consciousness.

I'm relieved!

It seems like she attempted suicide.

She's asking for you two.

Marimo-san, are you alright?

What exactly happened?

It was me.

What?

It was me, who killed my father.

It was me, who killed my father.

Last night...

I arrived at the house
at around 6:00 p.m.

but I hesitated to go in
since it had been so long.

At that time, my father came out of the
warehouse, bleeding all over his body.

What?

Dad?

Dad!

Dad!

Must not... must not open it...

What?

You must not open it!

I'll go and get Takashi and everyone!
Okay?

I knew I had to hurry,
so I took my father to the hospital.

Stop...

What?

Stop!

Dad!
You have to go to the hospital!

It's alright!

I just need... one last piece.

What?
What are you talking about, Dad?

No, don't!

Dad...

When I woke up,
I was in the hospital.

Why did you disappear?

I thought my father died
because of me, at first.

So, I got scared and ran away.

And then,
I got my memory back little by little.

My father was actually killed by the family
tradition passed down from my grandfather.

That's what I thought.

So, I decided to destroy the vase and the box,
and throw them away somewhere.

Right at that time,
I got caught by my brother...

Marimo! What are you doing here?

Marimo!

Marimo!

Let go of me!

But I was also bound by it after all.

There was no way to escape from
the Kayama family's tradition.

Despair was all I had left.

Your brother is okay.

He has already regained consciousness.

Please don't worry.

Nishinosono-kun.

Let's go and take a look at them
with our own eyes

'The Gourd of Heaven and Earth'
and 'The Box of Selflessness.'

Yes.

There really is a key inside.

It doesn't look like we can
get the key out in any way.

I don't think Marimo-san is lying.

I agree.
There's no discrepancy in her testimony.

By the time Marimo-san arrived,
Mr. Rinsui had already been stabbed.

Who do you think stabbed Mr. Rinsui,
and for what reason?

I told you before.

The culprit and the purpose of
this crime are not so important.

Is it the proposition?

Yeah. Whenever the head of the
Kayama family was stabbed

'The Gourd of Heaven and Earth' and 'The Box
of Selflessness' were present at the scene.

If this proposition can be proved...

everything becomes self-evident.

Who was inside the warehouse?

Cold.

Not there anymore.

A fallen electric heater.

A Buddhist painter.

Heaven and Earth. Selflessness.

The missing weapon.

It is difficult for fire,
but easy for water.

You must not open it.

One last piece.

Is it really necessary to go to that extent?

You have no choice but to accept.

- This proposition has been proved.
- This proposition has been proved.

Professor! Professor Saikawa!

Are you alright?

Yeah...

Let's put an end to everything.

Is your injury okay?

Yes.

The hospital gave me a thorough examination
and said there was nothing serious with my head.

Please forgive me for being
rude to everyone earlier...

I heard about what happened
to Marimo a little while ago.

They said it was Professor Saikawa
and Nishinosono-san, who found her.

- Thank you very much.
- Oh, not at all.

Now... what's going to start here?

Professor Saikawa is going to
conduct his experiment.

His experiment?

Yes.

And he says, if his experiment is successful,
this incident will be entirely solved.

Well, well, well, well...
Am I really going to do this?

- Yes!
- Me?

Yes, this is for solving the case.
Please cooperate with me.

But, he's also...

Thank you very much.

Excuse me, but what is this 'experiment?'

Yusuke-kun came out of the warehouse at
around 6:00 p.m. on the day of the incident.

I'm going to confirm the situation of
the crime scene at that time.

Yusuke-kun.

Will you go and get the detective
inside the warehouse for me?

- Okay.
- Good.

The detective isn't there anymore.

What?

Not there anymore.

Not there?

I got it!

- Detective Ukai! Are you alright?
- Excuse me. I'm coming through.

May I get up now?

Yes, you may.
Thank you very much.

Give me your handkerchief!

What's going on?

It means that Rinsui-san was in the warehouse
at around 6:00 p.m. yesterday, doesn't it?

Exactly.

What do you mean by that?

Yusuke-kun said 'Marimo-san wasn't there
anymore' when he found her on the ground.

Oh... Yusuke-kun.

What's the matter?

Marimo-san isn't there anymore.

So, Yusuke lied?

No, it wasn't a lie. Just a
difference in perception, I think.

What do you mean by
'a difference in perception?'

When Yusuke-kun says 'not there,' it probably
has a nuance of 'dead' or 'not moving' as well.

There's a famous punch line in Yusuke-kun's
favorite TV program, Genma Daishogun.

Yusuke-kun?

What does Genma Daishogun say
after he beats his enemy?

'The bad guys aren't there anymore.'

That's right, thanks.

Yusuke-kun, you can go
and play in the house now.

Okay.

It's not appropriate to say 'they are already dead'
in the children TV programs, you know?

And Kelly was barking towards the
warehouse, because Rinsui-san was here.

This proves that Mr. Rinsui was lying in
this warehouse at around 6:00 p.m. yesterday.

And it matches with Marimo-san's testimony

that she saw Mr. Rinsui dying, and that
she put him into her car just after 6:00 p.m.

- But...
- Yes.

The warehouse door couldn't be opened
between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m.

So, now a new problem surfaces.
'Who was inside at that time?'

By the way, Rinsui-san didn't like
using the air conditioner, did he?

Right. That's true.

It's pretty airtight inside the warehouse,
in order to protect the paintings from moisture.

In addition to that, he turned off the air
conditioner, which was his only air passage.

So, it's safe to assume that the warehouse
was in a completed sealed state.

And it was a very cold day yesterday.

Mr. Rinsui must have turned on
his electric heater.

Excuse me, Professor Saikawa.
What are you trying to say?

On the basis of these conditions

we can find an answer to the question, 'Who was
inside the warehouse between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m.?'

Of course.

That's what it was.

Eh, eh, eh?
What is that supposed to mean?

Who was inside the warehouse?

Nobody was there.

- What?
- What?

But the door was bolted
from inside for sure, right?

How could the door be bolted from inside
when no one was there?

It was a natural phenomenon.
Right?

Yusuke!
Genma Daishogun is about to start!

At around 6:00 p.m., after Yusuke-kun
came out of the warehouse

I believe that Rinsui-san
regained consciousness.

What?

And Marimo-san took him to the hospital.

After that, because the electric heater was
turned off and there was nobody inside

the temperature in this room dropped down
rapidly and the air gradually got deflated.

And then, the force, which pulls the outer walls
inward, became active inside this sealed space.

The closed door was pulled inward
by this strong force as well

making it seem like the closed door
was actually locked.

Are you going to seclude yourself again?

This caused a phenomenon such as not being able
to open the warehouse door between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m.

But is it possible that air deflation alone
can produce such a strong force?

This is just an estimate

but for every 100 degrees of change in
temperature, air inflates or deflates by 40 percent.

This equals to 0.4 percent of the volume change
for every one degree change in temperature.

Atmospheric pressure is about
one kilogram per one square centimeter.

So 0.4 percent of that equals
four grams of air pressure to be added.

Huh?
But that's only four grams.

I said per one square centimeter.

Let's say the warehouse door is
one meter wide and two meters tall

the pressure will become 800 kilograms
at a 10 degrees change in temperature.

It'll be impossible to
open the door that heavy.

Yes, you're right.

Because the door didn't open, we misunderstood
that someone was inside the warehouse.

But then...

Who stabbed my father after all?

That I don't know.

Well, Professor Saikawa.
Do you have an idea who it was?

Let us hear it. Please.

I think Kayama Rinsui-san
committed suicide.

What? I don't think that's possible.
Because there was no weapon--

That's right. It's odd that there
was no weapon if it was suicide.

The weapon was actually
left in this room.

Huh?

Where was the weapon?

It was inside 'The Box of Selflessness.'

That can't be...

As you know, that box was empty even
when the police took the X-ray picture.

Could it be a knife that's invisible
even in an X-ray?

It's empty right now.

I don't get it.

Takashi-san, can you bring
the vase and the box over here?

Nishinosono-kun, that's unnecessary.

Professor Saikawa, you already know

how to get the key out of that vase
and open the box, don't you?

Did you really figure out
the mystery of that vase?

Kayama-san.

The mysteries of the vase and the box are supposed
to be a burden for the head of the Kayama family.

A burden?

50 years ago, Mr. Kayama Fusai solved
the mysteries of that vase and box

and killed himself inside this warehouse.

Even since, his son, Mr. Rinsui had been
burdened with the mysteries of that vase and box.

And perhaps on that day he finally arrived at the
answer and chose the same path as Mr. Fusai.

That vase and box are supposed to
function in such a mechanism.

And that's the message.

I would never... kill myself!

I don't want to, even if it were the dying
wishes of my grandfather and father!

How could I stake my life
on such things?

Professor Saikawa, please solve
the mysteries of the vase and the box!

Once they are solved, I will destroy that vase and
put an end to the continued curse in our family.

Please, Professor Saikawa!

I won't allow that.

Why won't you? Even though everyone has
been burdened by that vase and box?

Mother!

Saikawa-san.

Nishinosono-san.

Come to the back room.

Let's go, Nishinosono-kun.

You know the secrets of
the vase and the box, don't you?

Yes, I do.

But, not entirely.

You actually saw the moment when Mr. Rinsui
stabbed himself in the chest with the weapon.

Three days before his death

he let me see 'The Box of Selflessness'
being opened.

And he said
this was one last piece.

I thought it was empty inside...

The weapon was in there at that moment.

It was very warm.

I couldn't stop crying
just from holding it in my hands.

Because you were sad...

Why would I be sad?

He had been following the footsteps
of his father, Fusai all this time

and kept searching for that one last piece.
And finally he found the answer!

Suppress yourself and bring back
a true picture of the Buddha.

That's the mission
of a Buddhist painter.

Suppress yourself to live,
and live to suppress yourself.

He had reached the top
of his profession like Fusai

and tried to perfect his own art
with death.

No way...

It felt as if I were in a dream

and I even had a hard time
staying on my feet.

His beautiful blood was gurgling out.

But Mr. Rinsui hesitated
right before his death, didn't he?

Unlike Fusai, it took too long
for him to reach the top.

That's why...

That's human nature.

You said that he opened the box
three days before his death.

Why did he wait for three days?

During those three days,
he drew the last painting of his life.

Another Buddhist painting?

No, it was a painting of me.

Those three days of happiness!

I've been living every moment
of my life just for those three days!

That was the one and only painting
he drew from this world, not the Buddha.

Where's that painting now?

I burnt it.

You burnt it?

That's how you bring it to perfection.

Is that one last piece as well?

I wanted to have it all to myself.
Both his life and death.

Like a child, aren't I?

Please take these two with you.

They are not necessary
in this house anymore.

But...

Losing this becomes
one last piece for the Kayama family.

Go ahead.

Since I'll never be seeing
you two again.

Ouch!

Are you alright?

Oh, Professor Saikawa!

What about the mysteries
of the vase and the box?

I'm sorry!

It was me jumping to conclusions.

I couldn't open the box after all.

What?

But I think it'll be all right, because we're taking
this cursed vase and box from Fumi-san.

From Mother?

Yes.

Wait, wait, wait, wait!
The weapon's still inside the box, isn't it?

No, no, no, no!
That was also me jumping to conclusions.

Perhaps Mr. Rinsui threw the weapon
into the river or something.

It's empty.

Give us a break!
I even did this for you!

But why are you two
taking that vase and box?

As a souvenir?

Now, let's begin.

Look at the inside of the vase.

Huh?

Go ahead and shake it.

The key has disappeared.

If the key is gone,
we can't open the box!

No, you should be able to
open it by now.

Even though I didn't insert the key?

The key hole is fake.
Here's the real thing.

What?

When the boiled water
is poured into the box

the holding stopper of the lid gets bent
by the temperature of the hot water.

Good.

Go ahead and open the box.

Oh! The key turned into the weapon,
didn't it?

Yeah.

But how?

The key inside the vase was made of a special metal called
'fusible alloy' which melts at around 60 degrees Celsius.

You pour the fusible alloy, which was melted by the
boiled water, into the box along with the hot water.

There's a hollow space in the shape of a knife inside
the box, and the melted metals get deposited in there.

Once the hot water cools down, the fusible alloy
becomes solid and reincarnates as a sharp knife.

It's warm.

And after stabbing your chest
with this knife

you put it back inside the vase, pour the
boiled water and wait for it to be melted.

There must be a hollow space in the shape
of a key in the bottom of the vase.

You throw away the hot water after it cools down,
then the hardened key is back in the vase.

And that's why the weapon
wasn't at the crime scene.

Yeah.

Kayama Rinsui-san came out of the warehouse
after stabbing himself in the chest.

I wonder if that was because
he was still deeply attached to living.

She said that he hesitated
right before committing suicide.

Do you think Mr. Rinsui
was able to stab himself on his own?

Nishinosono-kun, there's no way
to validate it at this point.

Even if someone else did hold the knife,
there wouldn't be any fingerprints left.

That's how this weapon works.

The Kayama family has been freed
from its tradition.

There'll be no one who will try to solve the
mystery of this box at the risk of his life.

Don't you agree?

I did solve the problem.

Yeah?

The secret will be sealed once again.
