Quiet!
I've had enough of this!
You're doing it wrong! This is how you do it!
How can she kill someone like this?
What are you doing?
Catching some neutrinos from the air.
What brings you here today?
Yabe told me to bring her some change of clothes.
I heard she got blood all over her.
Yabe has a soft spot for women.
He's a regular...uh...familist.
Don't you mean "feminist"?
What did I come here for?
I remember now.
Regarding the blood on her...
Did you take out your trash?
Yamada, pay your rent!
I have nothing else!
If she was planning to stab him to death, she
should've brought a change of clothes!
I just stabbed a man to death.
She did it before our very eyes.
But how?
There's no such thing as spiritual powers.
Behind every mysterious phenomenon, is a trick.
See? Don't be fooled.
Don't be lied to.
There really are spiritualists...
I know of a spiritualist with authentic powers...
You'll soon see the truth.
Mom's coming today.
I've never seen a secured condo before.
I see...
Can I stay a night with you?
I need to find a replacement...
A...replacement?
Hey, Seta! It sure is hot everyday.
Address me with respect.
I won't vote for you.
Stupid! You can't vote.
Didn't you know?
Starting 2001, grade school students can vote.
What? Are you serious?
Please vote for me.
Give me money to buy ice cream.
Gladly.
Hello, Mother.
What brings you here?
I brought you a watermelon.
It's from our garden.
It's nice and big.
I see. I have to go now.
Are you going out?
There's a calligraphy exhibition in Tokyo.
I'm going to see Naoko while I'm there.
Mother, you should've invited me along.
Why?
Naoko's problem is my problem.
What problem does she have?
I'll sadly see you off today.
In exchange...
When you go to her condo, I want you to look for
any signs of her seeing another man.
Check if there's an extra toothbrush, a shaver, or
if the toilet seat is up.
And if the toilet seat is up?
Put it down.
All right.
What? It matched?
The blood on her clothes matched the victim's?
That's right.
The fingerprints on the knife were also hers.
Are you sure about that?
Yes.
Don't touch my head too much...
But it sure feels good.
I'll be going over there.
Please continue to watch her.
I understand.
Please don't come between 1:20 and 1:55.
Why?
That's when "Tetsu Kono Heya" airs.
Do you watch that everyday?
It's a habit.
There's a special feature this week.
It's very interesting.
I definitely can't miss it.
I can prove that she's a fraud this time.
A replacement?
Someone committed the two murders for her.
By matching the time, place, and method...
She was able to make it look like she did it.
Why didn't I realize it sooner?
The first murder took place at 10:00 p.m.
Somebody strangled Umeki Ryuichi for her
at the cliff by the curve.
The second murder took place at 5:00 a.m.
at the park by the river.
Again, somebody stabbed Takeshita Fumio for her.
How do you explain the fingerprints on the weapon?
I get it. She had placed them on from the start.
And the strands of hair.
What about the blood?
How did she make the blood spurt out?
She was probably holding a tiny packet in her hand.
Haven't you seen it before?
A fake spiritualist from the Philippines performing
surgery without a scalpel.
He hides a packet of chicken blood in his hand.
She used the same method.
But the victim's blood and the blood on her matched.
What? The blood type was the same?
That's right.
I had thought the same thing as you.
Something about the blood bothered me.
The question is, where dud she get the blood?
If we can figure out how she got it,
it'll support our theory about an accomplice.
That's right.
She got it from the hospital.
The lat Takeshita Fumio had a complete examination
done at Shinjuku clinic two days before he died.
All the blood that was drawn is missing.
It was stolen?
That explains it all.
She had an accomplice, after all.
Wait a sec.
That's so naive.
Who is she?
A witness to Takeshita Fumio's murder.
Witness?
Is she the woman that you saw?
It's her!
Are you sure?
I clearly saw her face.
Don't touch his wig.
Murderer!
So much for you theory about an accomplice.
That would mean she was at two different
places at the same time.
That's what it comes down to.
That can't be true.
There must be a trick behind it.
What kind of trick?
Can I go home now?
You both look tired.
You should get some rest.
Wait a minute.
You're a murderer.
We can't let you go.
Why?
Is there an arrest warrant out for me?
We can easily get one.
There isn't an arrest warrant issued for her?
The court said it'll be hard to prove a murder
committed by spiritual powers, so they're very
reluctant to issue it.
They don't want to take it to court when they
know that they can't win.
Is that right?
I told you, didn't I?
Unless science can explain spiritual powers,
and if the law doesn't recognize its existence,
I won't be found guilty.
I'll be back.
I told you that I'll be killing three people.
I need you to be my witnesses when I kill
the last person.
Or I'll be turned into a murderer.
If you'll excuse me now.
Wait.
Aren't you going to set up your third murder?
You need to set it up or your trick won't work.
Are you still saying that?
Kill that third man now.
Wait a minute.
All right. I'll do it.
There's an iron pipe here.
The man I am going to kill is...
Matsui Kazuhiko.
Stop it.
That's enough already.
Don't commit any more crimes.
You can leave now.
Before you kill your last man...
Please be sure to come here.
Will you promise that?
Sure.
Should you have said that?
I had no choice, did I?
I get it, Sensei.
You wanted to let her go free, so that you can
think up your next plan.
I'm impressed.
That wasn't it.
She was telling the truth.
What?
I fell sleepy.
I want to go home and take a hot shower.
You should go home and take a shower, too.
Exhaustion isn't good for you.
I don't have a shower.
What?
I don't have a shower.
You must be joking!
You smell.
Sensei, did you hear that?
She doesn't have a shower.
Don't you live in a secured apartment?
Of course.
I'm a famous physicist.
I have a favor to ask you.
Tokyo sure is big.
Do you walk this much everyday?
We're almost there.
He didn't tell me it was 18 minutes from the station.
Mom, it's this place.
This is it?
Sorry...it might be messy.
Let me clean up quickly.
Wait here. It won't be long.
What's all this?
I have to think of something.
Are these tools for your magic tricks?
The props now are different from your father's.
This is all exercise equipment.
Being a magician requires a lot of stamina.
That is why I exercise with these everyday.
This is how you use this.
Is that right?
What is this for?
You hold it in the middle and do this.
Like this?
I get it.
Are you trying to increase your bust size by doing this?
How can you say that!
It's your fault.
Mom, do you believe in spiritual powers?
I meet a lot of people who claim to have spiritual
powers when they're only doing magic tricks.
Every time I meet someone like that, it infuriates me.
I want to shout, "You're nothing but a fraud!"
I was wrong.
There really are spiritualists...
What's wrong, Mom?
Nothing.
There can't be any.
What?
There can't be real spiritualists.
That's true.
Make it bigger...
I wonder if I had some bananas in the refrigerator.
Why are you here?
This is my place.
I asked to borrow it for a night, didn't I?
You didn't as me to stay away, did you?
That's common sense.
My show is about to start.
Let's all watch it together.
You must be joking.
Why should the three of us watch it together?
It's going to start now.
Good afternoon. I'm Watanabe Tetsu.
We have wonderful guests here with us today.
Please leave after you watch your show.
Will you be quiet?
I can't concentrate.
Hey!
I get it.
That's it.
What?
I figured out her trick.
Mom.
This is fun. I'm getting addicted to it.
I have to go out for a bit.
What?
Where are you going?
That's my business.
Do I have to ask that?
Of course.
"Do you have a twin sister?"
She's going to laugh at me.
Why?
If she has a twin sister as an accomplice, then
that'll prove that it was all a trick.
If she had a twin, then that would explain why
that elderly woman mistakenly identified her.
I've figured it all out.
And I owe it all to you, Tetsu-san.
I see your point, but...
That twin trick is so common that it's been worn out.
It's become too basic for any magician.
I see.
Sorry to burst your bubble.
What did you want to tell me?
Ask her.
What?
Don't act dumb.
I'm not accustomed to being laughed at.
You should be fine with it.
I don't want to be laughed at, either.
I can always ask your mother to leave right away.
That's dirty.
Ask her.
We've figured it all out.
You have a twin sister.
How embarrassing.
That's right.
Bingo.
We are twins.
This is my younger sister.
So you think you've solved the cases now.
I thought so.
I knew it.
I've seen through it all.
But my younger sister has nothing to do with it.
She hasn't committed any crimes.
Isn't that right, Yoko?
You're lying.
It's true.
I did it all on my own.
Using my spiritual powers.
You can't talk your way out of this one.
Why don't you confine the both of us then?
Then you'll see that my powers are authentic.
Will you come with us?
They sure look alike.
Are you saying you can still murder someone
with both of you here?
Of course.
The man you want to kill is Matsui Kazuhiko.
The last man that I hate with all my heart.
We've already contacted Matsui Kazuhiko.
I told him to call me on my cell phone if he
sees danger approaching.
We're not fools, you know.
We wouldn't miss the name you blurted out.
The name of the man I am going to kill is...
Matsui Kazuhiko.
I see. That's a good idea.
What?
Rifle
He deserves to be shot to death.
Watch out!
It's too late to call for help.
It's ringing.
Hello?
Please don't kill me.
Mr.Matsui?
Please don't kill me!
I said it's useless.
Don't shoot!
I heard a gunshot.
It's over.
Did you kill him?
I wish you could've seen the look on his face.
Go and verify it!
Spiritual powers exist, after all.
Please don't kill me.
Don't shoot!
Please don't kill me!
He's good... He made a split second decision to record it.
I think he recorded it by accident.
All right.
The clock at the scene read 2:45 p.m.
She started her performance at that time.
I got the call at 2:45.
But they were both in front of us at that time.
What's going on here?
Sis...
Can I hear it again?
No. But you're going to listen to it anyway.
Sorry.
You can be stubborn. You're a frigid woman.
I'm normal.
We're going home.
I killed three men as I said I would.
There's no reason for me to be here anymore.
That's true, but...
It's not good that you killed three people.
As I told you before...
I know.
Unless science can explain it,
you won't be found guilty.
Then...
What is this sound?
Can you wait here a bit?
Ueda, get the car.
What did you hear?
A bussing sound.
Like a timer.
But why would he set a timer to an odd time like 2:45?
I wonder what that sound was.
Catfish?
That brings back memories.
The catfish?
Way back, on TV, there was a show about catfish.
It had swallowed a man-eating fish in Borneo,
the black porcus and even a giant silurid.
That's a Wednesday night special.
Cut out the nonsense and think.
Isn't that a timer?
It's to automatically feed the fish.
It's set at 1:00.
Can you change the time?
Let's try it.
The food should be released soon.
This is the sound.
I've got it.
My father used to say...
Behind any display of spiritual powers...
is a magic trick.
That spiritual powers do not exist in this world.
You already told me that yesterday.
I respect my father, who was a magician.
And I love him very much.
That is why I want to believe in his words.
I've figured it all out.
You killed Mr.Matsui.
That's interesting.
I was right in front of you all.
How could I have killed him without using my
spiritual powers?
The time of murder isn't 2:45 p.m.
You killed him at 1:00.
Please don't kill me.
Please don't shoot!
After you kill him, you inputted his recorder
voice into the computer.
Then you set it so that it would call Mr.Yabe's cell
phone at 2:45 p.m.
Then you broke the clock in the room to read 2:45.
Then you timed your performance to match it.
But by that time, he was already dead.
What makes you think I killed him at 1:00?
The timer on his aquarium at home.
He had the timer set at 1:00 to feed his fish.
That sound was recorder on Mr.Yabe's cell phone.
If he had really called at 2:45 p.m.,
then we wouldn't have heard the timer go off.
That's a well-made story.
But there's a flaw to it.
You're the ones who called to meet me.
If I had killed Matsui like you said,
the trick wouldn't have worked without your call.
If there is a long lapse of time, then the estimated
time of death will be off.
How was I supposed to know that you would call?
I'll explain that part.
You knew that at 1:20 p.m., I would realize that you
have a twin, and that I'd try to get ahold of you.
How would I know that?
With my spiritual powers, perhaps?
The twins contest.
You knew I was going to watch that today.
They're having a special feature this week.
They're going to have a twins contest.
It's truly interesting.
So you could've easily predicted it.
You hid the fact that you were twins to make your
plans work.
Why did you have to kill those three men?
So you refuse to believe in my spiritual powers.
I'm going to kill you all.
Stop it!
Twelve years ago,
we lost a person that we loved very deeply.
That person was our father.
He was killed by those three men.
Killed?
They did it for money...
They took out a life insurance policy on him and killed him.
They made it look like an accident.
They murdered him for the insurance money?
We vowed to take revenge.
We vowed to kill those three men someday.
We're responsible for those three murders.
When my sister was confined here,
I killed Umeki and Takeshita.
I killed Matsui.
Don't like. You did it together, didn't you?
No! My sister didn't commit any murders.
I did it all on my own.
She believed that she had spiritual powers.
I did it all on my own.
Isn't that right?
Yes, that's right.
It's as she said.
I didn't commit any crime.
How can you say that?
You are truly stupid.
Sis...?
Don't tell me...?
You poisoned your sister?
It wasn't me.
She must've drank it on her own as repentance.
I won't forgive you.
I'll make sure that you are punished by the law.
Dr.Ueda...
You said a person can't be killed by spiritual powers.
Be sure to testify that in court.
And you.
The truth that you are seeking isn't always just.
Thank you for the drink.
Shall we grab something to eat?
I know of a good place.
Sorry...but not today.
Why?
I might fall asleep after I eat.
Don't be rude. I wouldn't take advantage of you.
That's not what I meant.
We haven't slept at all since yesterday.
I'm fine.
Besides, my mom is waiting.
That's true.
Good night.
I wonder where Mom went.
"Welcome home, Naoko.
"I'm taking the overnight bus home.
"Thanks for everything.
"I was happy to see your face.
"Take care of yourself and hang in there."
Mom...
How did she know about this place?
