This is for you.
A target is a lady who is the closest to Himura Hideo
Himura!
A message was from Moroboshi Sanae.
I'm pretty sure.
I got off with just being kidnapped. But I don't know what will happen to ladies.
I got it. We'll protect ladies.
I won't let her lay a finger on them.
Moroboshi gave us advance notice of the next target.
Go and protect Kijima Akemi and Shinomiya Tokie immediately.
Hurry up!
Yes.
Let's go.
Wait, Komachi.
You stay here.
What?
According to Alice, you may possibly be the next target.
Tell Himura Hideo...
I stay close by you.
Criminologist Himura and Mystery Writer Arisugawa
The final episode, Logical death game
Himura-sensei canceled his afternoon class again.
What's wrong with him? He canceled too many classes.
No idea.
Kijima Akemi.
Yes.
Please come with us.
Why do I have to do that?
I'll tell you everything in a car.
Please take her.
Yes.
Let's go.
Excuse me...
What's going on?
I don't want to be detective's girlfriend.
What do you mean?
I don't quite get it.
Can you explain to me one more time?
Anyway, come with me.
Come in.
Hello, how are you?
Until we confirm the safety of you, you stay here.
What? Am I in danger?
I tried to explain to you so many times.
Tokie.
Come here.
How and when did she take this picture?
Moroboshi wants to lead me around by the nose,
and control me psychologically.
She told me that she wanted to see Himura's true character.
Nabeshima, isn't this threat no more than bluff?
Moroboshi may just want to play with Himura and the investigation.
Do you think that this is just a bluff?
Yes.
In the first place, I'm not the closest lady to Himura Hideo.
And I have no reason to be targeted.
I asked Himura that I wanted to be his assistant. But I was denied recently.
I also am not the closest lady to Sensei either.
If so, inevitably I'm the one.
Because I live with him under one roof.
Right?
Tokie.
You shouldn't be so happy.
Anyway, if three of you stay here, it's fully secure.
I'm a detective. I don't need to be guarded.
You can use me as a decoy and lure Moroboshi into a trap.
No way! You stay here.
Nabeshima, you should contact Public Safety Bureau before protecting the targets, right?
Please follow the order.
Instead of arresting Moroboshi, I make it a priority to protect these three ladies.
Inspector Nabeshima,
I ignore what I just heard.
Shall I repeat?
Arisugawa, would you tell us what you talked to Moroboshi?
I may be able to take a cue from that.
Well, I've already told them everything...
I stay close by you.
Because I live with him under one roof.
I put you in danger.
What's wrong? Never mind.
An assistant of a great detective inevitably comes with danger
If anything would happen to you at that time, I didn't know if I could keep myself level.
If I kill Arisugawa Alice?
I'll make him get serious and release a monster inside him.
Dr. Watson doesn’t die easily.
Besides, when I'm driven to the wall, Holmes always rescues me.
Am I right?
Hey.
What?
What kind of relationship do they have?
It's not just a detective and an assistant.
Of course not.
They risk their life for each other.
It goes beyond friendship. What should I say...?
How about the relationship between you and I?
What?
A detective and an assistant?
Well...
No. It's not only that.
Then what?
You...
What do you think?
Somebody I know.
You hurt my feeling!
Don't you have another way to say?
Best friend from University or something like that.
You too. Can't you say something with a writer attitude?
Bullshit.
You're a fellow passenger of a boat.
Because?
You always row a boat with a strong mental strength like the steel.
But I'm sometimes anxious when I see you behaving like destroying a ship bottom with an axe.
That's why I ride with you and keep an eye on you.
I promise you.
I'll never put you in danger.
Where's Himura?
He must have gone to the smoking area.
If you and I are Holmes and Watson,
Moroboshi should be Professor Moriarty.
Moriarty?
He is Holmes's fated rival who is as smart as Holmes.
His image is just like a skeleton. I was scared of that.
Moriarty didn't do anything himself. He let his subordinates do the crime.
It's same as Moroboshi.
I see.
Holmes and Moriarty are like the head and tail of a coin.
They need one another and have a fixation for each other.
They fought head-to-head competition. The title of novel is "The Final Problem".
I remember a dialogue.
Holmes said Moriarty,
"When I say that if I were assured of the former eventuality I would, in the interests of the public, cheerfully accept the latter"
What happened at the end of "The Final Problem"?
They have fallen to their deaths down the gorge.
Did Holmes die without saying anything to Watson?
He left a note at the gorge.
It said "To true friend".
True friend...
What a cheesy line for the detective of the century.
Moron, you should be moved.
Then, should I write like that too?
It's bad luck to say that!
Ominous image crossing my mind.
It was Himura brought an axe down to a ship bottom.
A lady who is the closest to Himura Hideo.
As I thought it's you.
You should have known that since the day when we first met.
We're very similar.
Or we're same.
What do you want?
I can feel...
Murderous intent to me.
I can control people easily.
I had a lot of fun to do that since I was a little.
I don't need dolls to play.
Because I could play with people around me as dolls.
They did whatever I ordered.
They even committed crimes for me.
When I get tired of collecting dolls, I met you.
I was tempted to play with Himura Hideo.
I want to control you.
What do you want me to do?
You've thought that you wanted to kill somebody.
Yes.
I fulfill that wish.
A target is...me!
I set another trap for making you get serious.
Something will happen at Kyoto Prefectural Police.
The number you've dialed may be switched off.
Where did he go?
Onizuka.
Boom!
What happened?
Boom!
What did you do?
I wanted to see that eye.
Please sit down.
We're going to play a game.
Pour the same quantity of wine into other glasses.
We expect one more guest...or not.
What's that?
Goddess of magic.
Poison plant that is associated with Hecate.
Aconitum...
This is a lethal dose of a person.
I'm going to poison one of these glasses.
You have to choose the one without looking at.
It's a simple game.
It's ready.
How can you prove that it's genuine Aconitum?
Do you think that I use such a cheap trick?
If needed, I can give a left over powder in a capsule to your cat.
Don't!
You seem to be getting excited.
You're excited enough to kill me with poisoned wine.
You can fulfill your dream to kill somebody.
A monster called murderous intent that was locked away inside of you forcibly is finally freed.
How do you feel?
You're too excited to keep calm, right?
Yes, I am.
Please choose the one.
You seem to be very happy.
I'm very excited as much as you are.
Get a thrill to death, right?
That's right. I may be killed by you.
Or I may be able to kill you.
If so, we only need 2 glasses.
Why did you bring 3 glasses?
You have 2 chances to choose a glass.
For example, you chose a red glass.
And I have 2 choices, blue or green.
I choose a glass without poison and drink in front of you.
By doing that, I can prove that there's actually a wine without poison.
And?
One of remaining wine is poisoned.
You can choose one more time.
The last iplomacy that we risk our life.
I see.
It's an interesting rule.
It's a shame to leave a chance to kill me to luck.
Yes.
Every game has a walk-through.
Think seriously how you can kill me.
Think and think...
You considering something seriously are beautiful.
Think more.
I'll give you time.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe...
Catch a tiger by the toe...
Red light, green light...
Have you decided?
I choose a red glass.
Why?
I trust my intuition. That's it.
I know which one doesn't have poison in it.
Now, red that you chose or blue...
One of them has poison in it.
And I know which one is poisoned.
You keep a choice of a red glass,
or change to a blue glass.
What would you like to do?
You kill me,
or you're killed by me.
Red,
or blue.
I'm going to watch you die.
I change to a blue glass.
Let's toast.
How long will it take until poison spreads?
It'll be settled very soon.
You're very calm.
I'm very sad.
Because the time with you will be up soon.
It seems that poison starts spreading.
Nabeshima, I captured Moroboshi.
We're in my place.
Please call an ambulance.
Sensei, are you all right?
Himura-sensei is with Moroboshi at his place right now.
In my house?!
He asked me to call an ambulance.
Is he all right?
A call was cut off in the middle.
Call an ambulance!
Yes.
Let's go!
I'm going with you.
You stay here.
Don't worry. Believe him.
I worry even though he said that Sensei was all right.
Himura-sensei will be fine.
Believe him.
Inspector Nabeshima,
Public Safety Bureau will take Moroboshi.
We can't let her escape again.
Please.
What happened, Himura?
Wake up now and tell me everything.
Why the hell did you see her by yourself?!
Hey!
Himura! Did you awake?
You're too loud.
Moron! You made me feel uneasy!
Public Safety Bureau took Moroboshi.
She is taking to the different hospital in utmost secrecy.
Himura, this is over.
What? Where's Nabeshima?
Well, I found that he's disappeared.
There's a betrayer in the police.
Please give attention to the car behind.
We may be followed by Shangri-La Crusade.
Certainly.
Sensei, I don't want to deal with this kind of thing any more.
Can you imagine how much we have worried about you?
I won't give up on being your assistant.
Your behavior becomes unreliable if Alice and I don't keep watching you.
She is right!
In the first place, it's too cool that you tried to settle this incident by yourself.
I'm sorry.
Poor you. You get nothing but complaint even though you came back safe.
So, what kind of game did you and Moroboshi play?
It was a logical death game that we risked our life.
Risk your life and choose the one.
I choose a red cup.
And I choose a secure cup.
Now, either red that you chose or blue is out.
In other words, one of them kills you.
What do you want?
Do you want to change a cup?
If you say so...Should I?
I think that you shouldn't change a cup.
I'm not swayed!
I'm going to change to a blue cup.
All right
Ready?
Yes.
On the count of three.
No!
Out!
Damn, it. I shouldn’t have changed it.
You seemingly try your luck.
What part of this game is logical?
If you think in terms of probability logically,
you can win a game.
Probability?
I got it!
If you change in the end, you're associated with the higher odds of picking up a skull.
You're right.
Yes!
Wait! Why?
What are the odds that 1 out of 3 has a skull in it?
One third!
Next, what are the odds that a blue cup that Alice didn't choose has a skull in it?
One half!
Wrong!
What?
This is a question with a catch.
Use your brain.
Well...
Ah, it was wrong.
The odds for 2 cups that Alice didn't choose is two thirds.
Even though we eliminate a green cup that is a secure cup,
The odds that a blue cup has a skull remains of two thirds.
That's right. In other words,
The odds of a red cup that Alice chose originally is one third.
And the odds of a blue cup is two third.
Therefore, if you change a cup in the end, the odds of picking up a skull are increased.
She said everything what I was going to say.
I don't get it.
They can explain to you later.
Yes.
Wait!
Since Moroboshi and you became unconscious,
that means that both of you had poison, right?
Yes.
How come?
There was only one glass with poisoned wine, right?
I can enhance the odds logically. But it never be 100%.
I had no choice but to choose to kill each other at the same time.
Kill each other by yourself? How?
I'll give you time.
She said so and turned around.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe...
I got a few-second chance.
I have one third of lethal amount of poison.
That was the highest odds of surviving.
Have you decided?
I choose a red glass.
You're so smart.
Did you think that much in a moment?
That's Sensei.
I'm frustrated but well-done!
Well, it's about time to leave them alone, right?
What?
Oh, no. It's not you.
All right. Let's go.
Am I playing gooseberry?
See you.
Tokie?
Have a nice time!
What?
See you.
What's wrong?
Hey,
If I didn't want to get into danger, I wouldn't be with you.
So, don't leave me alone any more.
She may have given me a chance on purpose.
Because she wants to play with me again.
This is over.
There's no again.
I'll hunt you at any cost next time.
Anyway, the case is closed.
Why don't you get some rest?
I do.
I'm happy that you returned safe.
See you later.
See you.
Hey, where are you going?
What? Ah, it's you, Alice.
Is it Yasoda? Don't scare me.
What are you doing here?
It's my day off,
and as you know my wife is pregnant.
We came here to see Gynecologist.
And I saw Komachi downstairs.
So, how's Himura doing? Is he all right?
He is fine. He's staying in bed.
By the way, do you want to see the latest picture of my baby (ultrasonography)?
I'd love to.
You look very happy.
A suspicious-looking car is following us.
All right, stop a car now.
What?
Did you hear what I said?
Stop a car!
We won't stop a car. Put a gun.
Put a gun!
It's just as I had thought.
You're a betrayer.
Damn, you.
A car behind us is coming closer.
Accelerate more.
Moroboshi, are you all right?
You accomplished your task.
Damn, it!
Nabeshima told me that Moroboshi escaped again.
Oh my god...
Please forgive me for putting an end to this incident by myself.
To my true friend.
I'll wait for you at Tenma Valley.
"Putting an end to this incident by myself"...
That word brings back my nightmare that I had so many times.
Onizuka, stop a car here.
I have unfinished business.
What are you planning?
Please lead us.
My gene divides and continues to grow.
I'll accomplish the revolution.
If you believe me, you'll be able to reach Shangri-La.
Moroboshi should go so far yet.
Search their car by centering on Miyamae area.
Yes.
He left a note at the gorge.
It said "To true friend".
I remember a dialogue.
"When I say that if I were assured of the former eventuality I would, in the interests of the public, cheerfully accept the latter"
Himura is missing.
What?
Why did you choose this location?
Because I can disappear or make you disappear without noticed.
Hello.
Be careful since it's almost sunset.
Nobody notice if you fall from a valley.
We'll be careful.
You look to be happily married.
You too look like a nice couple.
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
They seem strange.
They seemed to be going to commit suicide.
Don't turn.
I'm sure that that lady is Moroboshi Sanae.
We should call 911.
From Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters to officers,
There's information from witnesses that suspect Moroboshi Sanae was seen at Tenma Valley.
She is heading to the dam with a man who is almost 180 cm tall.
It's Himura and Moroboshi!
Nabeshima of Crime Squad 1 rushes to the scene.
This is a good spot.
Have you been pointed a gun?
This is my first time.
Nobody notice if I shoot you here.
That's right.
I don't have time to fight back since you're pretty close to me.
Are you scared?
Yes.
It's your turn.
Have you pointed a gun to somebody?
Never.
Since we're very close, you can kill me with a single shot.
I'll give you another chance to kill me.
Shoot me.
Or do you want to watch me jumping from here?
Wait!
Don't say that!
I don't want to see you who pretend to be a good person and try to stop me from dying.
All I want to see is your true character.
Do you want to kill me, don't you?
Hurry up.
Release a monster inside you.
You of today are beautiful.
Pull the trigger and come to my side.
Have you wanted to kill somebody?
I have.
So what?
Are you saying that you empathize with the mind of this cruel suspect?
Empathize?
Well, it's not totally wrong.
Why the hell did you see her by yourself?!
Because I wanted to kill somebody.
This crime isn't beautiful.
I heard a dry gunshot twice.
Is that...
It's Himura's.
No way...
There was nobody there.
Nobody knows what happened there.
One thing is for sure.
Himura and Moroboshi who should have been there weren't there.
That's it.
Himura!
My true friend disappeared from me.
I don't write books based on the fact.
That's why I won't tell anybody about the incidents that Himura solved forever.
I as a writer can make the world just as I wish.
I can perform any kinds of miracles.
I can write the endless story.
But we live in the real world, not in the fantasy world.
We have to accept all kinds of cruel realities.
To step forward, I keep writing.
I keep writing the endless story.
