00:12Mr. Fujisawa, you're not getting away with this.
00:17From now on, I'm taking the liar game seriously.
00:22Also, I'm not only getting back my 100 million yen, I'm going to steal yours as well.
00:28By the end, I'll be declared the winner.
01:02I'm not only getting back my 100 million yen, I'm not getting back my 100 million yen.
01:13I'm not getting back my 100 million yen, I'm not getting back my 100 million yen.
01:27As long as I'm not getting back my 100 million yen.
02:09It made up my mind to fight back.
02:11Moping and crying wouldn't get me anywhere.
02:14I needed to do something, and I'd found the perfect ally to help me.
02:19I have a plan.
02:21Somehow, a brilliant con artist who brought down a corrupt corporation was standing in
02:25my corner.
02:26He was bound to know the right thing to do.
02:30Your plan, what is it?
02:33We only need to do two things.
02:35Follow these steps and I guarantee we'll get the money back.
02:39Step one, tell him that you're playing the liar game, and be sure to make it sound convincing.
02:46As for the second step, keep him under constant surveillance.
02:50Is that all?
02:52That's the whole plan?
02:53Yes.
02:54Trust me.
02:57That's why I confronted Mr. Fujisawa and told him my intentions to win the game.
03:02And why I began to monitor him.
03:06Still, is this really enough to get me the 200 million yen?
03:16It's you.
03:20Hello again.
03:21I just want to let you know that I'll be playing too.
03:24On Miss Kanzuki's behalf, of course, in case there was any doubt.
03:28Which means that I'll soon be taking 200 million yen from you.
03:32That understood?
03:34Ha!
03:35You're never gonna get it.
03:37Are you sure?
03:38Believe it or not, I have a perfect plan to steal the money for her.
03:58Good evening.
04:00Is this the police?
04:01A suspicious vehicle has been parked outside my house for a while.
04:10No way!
04:11The police!
04:18Wait, you let the cops scare you off?
04:20How was I supposed to react?
04:22You're right.
04:23Sorry.
04:30I figured something like that might happen.
04:33With that in mind, I've leased this apartment for a month.
04:37Have a look out the window.
04:42Oh, it's my teacher's house!
04:44Now we can watch him from here without having to worry about the cops bothering us.
04:51Thank you, Mr. Akiyama.
04:53You're a good person.
04:56At first, I thought you were scary and intimidating.
04:59But you've been nothing but kind, scheduling our shifts so I can visit my father in the hospital.
05:05You even went through the trouble to rent this place.
05:09Please tell me, what reason do you have to help me right after your release?
05:16Money, obviously.
05:18Companies would be out of their mind to hire an ex-con man as an employee after what I did.
05:24If I steal the full 200 million for you, then I get a quarter of it.
05:2850 million for a month's work.
05:30I'd be crazy to pass that up.
05:39This was all assuming that we would successfully steal the money.
05:43Why was he so confident that we could actually do it?
05:47Time to switch out.
05:52Anything out of the ordinary today?
05:55Doesn't look like it.
05:56Early on, he'd go to the pachinko parlor or pick up his groceries.
06:01But he hasn't even left the house these past few days, so it's been quiet.
06:05Interesting.
06:07Um...
06:09Can you tell me what the point of all this is, if you don't mind me asking?
06:13So far, we've spent the entire week doing nothing but staring at his house.
06:18I don't mean to doubt you.
06:20I just don't know what we're trying to accomplish.
06:24What we're doing is conman 101.
06:27Before springing your trap, try to rattle your target.
06:30Weaken them.
06:32For example, bank transfer scams against the elderly.
06:36The scammers will impersonate a loved one panicking about money over the phone.
06:40So old people freak out and open up the floodgates to their finances.
06:45You could be as level-headed as they come.
06:47But as soon as you lose your composure and start to waver, you become a much easier mark.
06:52In short, your former teacher...
06:55We're going to drive him to the brink mentally until he cracks.
06:59Imagine if you were in his situation.
07:02His opponent declared that she would win to his face.
07:04Then I told him that I had the perfect plan to steal the 200 million.
07:09But he has no idea what the plan is, and on top of that is under 24 hours surveillance.
07:15See for yourself.
07:20They say they've got a plan, but that would require getting the money from where I've got it stashed.
07:24So what the hell could they have up their sleeve?
07:26Downright impossible. There's no way they could do it.
07:29Besides, I've got a perfect plan of my own.
07:35Well then?
07:36He definitely looks like he's flustered and more on edge.
07:40Yeah, knowing someone's watching you all day and all night is bound to take its toll on a person.
07:46The psychological pressure keeps building up with each passing second.
07:52Alright, now I understand that the goal is to break him down.
07:57However...
07:57How is that supposed to get us the money?!
08:00He's got it stashed away in his safe deposit box, which means we won't get anywhere till we figure out
08:05which bank he's using!
08:06And even if we knew, we only have a two-day window to steal it from him before the game
08:10ends!
08:11He may not be keeping the money in a bank in the first place.
08:15Huh?
08:16I'll get right to the point.
08:18The 200 million yen? It's in his house.
08:24Really? What makes you say that?
08:26Just think about it. Imagine you've got 200 million you want to hold on to.
08:30So you go to the bank and put it in a safe deposit box.
08:34Meanwhile, your enemies are spying on you in your home during all hours of the day, waiting for the perfect
08:39opportunity to make their move.
08:41What's your move?
08:43I'd leave my house immediately, and stay far away.
08:47Why's that?
08:49Because I couldn't bear the thought of always being watched. The stress would overwhelm me.
08:55The money's in the bank already, so I'm better off staying mentally and physically sharp for the end of the
09:00game.
09:01That makes sense.
09:03But what if you chose not to hide the 200 million in a bank? What if you hid it in
09:08some bushes instead?
09:10Then I definitely wouldn't just sit around at my place! I'd want to be in a spot where I could
09:14always watch it!
09:16That so?
09:17Out there? It's vulnerable to getting stolen if someone finds out where it is. It doesn't even have to be
09:23an opponent. Some stranger could randomly come across the money and take it for themselves!
09:27How strange, then. He claims the money's sitting safe in a bank somewhere, yet he's at home?
09:34He knows he's under constant surveillance, so much so that he's unraveling. If the money's actually safe, why put himself
09:41through this?
09:43There's only one explanation. The 200 million never actually left his house, and he's worried that we might steal it.
09:50Wait, you're right! If the money's just been hidden in his house all this time, he wouldn't dare leave it
09:55unattended! Not when he knows we're tracking everything he's doing!
09:59Hmph, say. Might be time we turn up the heat even more with our surveillance tactics to keep him on
10:04his toes.
10:05We'll make it abundantly clear we know where the money's been hidden this entire time.
10:11Okay!
10:14The pressure must have gotten to him. Mr. Fujisawa's anxiety was right on his face.
10:20He moved around the house even less than he did before.
10:25He hasn't moved. I don't think he's even shifted more than an inch.
10:30Oh, that helps narrow down the location.
10:37Which room could he have stashed the money in?
10:41Technically, he could have split the 200 million up across different rooms.
10:46If he really wanted to, he could have even split it up thousands of times across his whole house!
10:53Now? Is everything alright?
10:55Yes! Don't worry about a thing!
10:58I have to win this game!
11:00Not for me, but for father!
11:11Just look at him. Not looking good, is he?
11:15A perfect time to mess with him even more.
11:24It smells like something is burning.
11:27Where is all the smoke coming from?
11:31Was that an explosion? What's going on?
11:35Did something catch on fire in the kitchen?
11:37Is it the stove?
11:38Maybe the tub?
11:39Or the water heater?
11:42Damn it all!
11:49Hmm...
11:50Hey, Tanaka.
11:51Yeah, it's Fujisawa.
11:53Something's burning in my house, and I need you to drop whatever you're doing and come help me find out
11:57what.
11:57And hurry, there's smoke everywhere.
12:00Why would I call a fire truck? I called you!
12:05You should listen to your friend!
12:07The whole point of the fire department is to call them when there's a fire.
12:11Granted, the fire you heard was my new toy here.
12:15The smoke was real, though.
12:17It was coming through your outside vent, if you're still curious.
12:20Gotta say, I'm more curious about how you reacted.
12:23Instead of racing around the house and calling the fire department, you stayed put and called a friend.
12:28It's almost like you'd rather be burned alive than take one step outside this room.
12:32But that's just crazy, right?
12:37Unless, of course, you've got all the game money stashed in there.
12:41You can't know that!
12:42Oh, we knew you hid it somewhere in the house.
12:45Finding exactly where was trickier, but not by much.
12:49We knew if you thought the money was in danger, you'd rush to your hiding spot to make sure it
12:52was alright.
12:56And I stayed right here.
12:58Congratulations, young man. You got me, and I was none the wiser.
13:02Thank you. But that's not all, I'm sure.
13:07Oh, you haven't the faintest idea, young man.
13:10See, it doesn't matter.
13:12Even if you know where it is, there's no way this game ends with you getting your grubby mists on
13:17it!
13:18My secret weapon!
13:22You're as close as you'll ever get to the money.
13:24Sure, it's not fancy, but you can't go wrong with cold hard steel.
13:28You'd need some heavy duty equipment to get through this.
13:31Well, you'd need a forklift just to get it out of this room.
13:34So great job wasting all that time getting me to reveal something that doesn't change a damn thing!
13:39But you lost a long time ago!
13:47It's all over. It can't be.
13:51It's time you quit this pointless harassment campaign against me and start thinking about how you'll pay back the 100
13:57million yen debt you'll have by next week!
14:02You're that sure you've won, huh?
14:06Was flashing your safe supposed to break our spirits or something?
14:10Then what? Finally get a good night's sleep?
14:12That's funny. Let me be clear.
14:17This is nothing. I can easily empty that safe right from under your nose.
14:24You... you think you can rattle me by spouting some stupid nonsense?
14:29Well, think again! There's no way that you can win!
14:34Except that there is, though. And it's really easy, too.
14:46You see how he crumbled when I pushed back on him?
14:49He was so sure that we'd give up the moment we laid eyes on his safe.
14:54All I had to do was not react and watch his panic-addled brain completely shatter.
14:59Just goes to show how easily we fall to bias and dissonance.
15:03I know what a bias is, but what's dissonance? They've never heard of it.
15:09Let's say you're asked an A or B question, and you think A is the answer, but everyone else thinks
15:14it's B.
15:15The stress of being the odd one out is a kind of dissonance, and stress is something people will do
15:20anything to avoid.
15:22Fujisawa was so sure of himself, his bias made him think he could break us.
15:26Yet by not reacting to seeing the safe, I contradicted that bias.
15:31The stress of that contradiction put him into a state of cognitive dissonance.
15:35To deal with that stress, he changed his bias to align with my reaction.
15:40He has another trick up his sleeve. It's the only thing that makes sense.
15:44People can be quite malleable if you give them the right push.
15:48Do you really know how to get the money from the safe?
15:51Because it's starting to feel like everything we've been doing was just to get him to believe that you had
15:56some master plan.
15:57Oh, ye of little faith.
16:00I do in fact have a master plan, and I know exactly how to get the money from that safe.
16:07I just can't tell you quite yet.
16:11I was still worried, but trusting him was my only option.
16:15So we waited and watched as Mr. Fujisawa's paranoia grew and festered.
16:21His occasional odd behaviors became more frequent and more odd.
16:25I know he has a plan, but what the hell could it possibly be?
16:29Don't tell me. Could he have gotten the combination to the safe somehow?
16:34No, no, no, that can't be it. Where would he have learned it?
16:38Besides, even if he had, it wouldn't help him.
16:40This safe needs both a combination and a key to open it.
16:43And he'll only get that if he pries it from my corpse.
16:47There's no conceivable way for him to open this safe.
16:51Unless he breaks it open by force.
16:54That must be it!
16:55But how is he gonna pull that off?
16:57He can't pry it open. It's far too thick and sturdy for that.
17:00But then, if he'd gotten a hold of a powerful enough cutting torch, it wouldn't matter how thick the safe
17:05was.
17:06He has a cutting torch! I'm finished!
17:09He can just wait until I fall asleep, sneak in with his torch, burn through the safe door, and walk
17:13away with my 200 million!
17:15Well, not on my watch.
17:23Come on and try me, young blood. You wanna cut open my safe? Then I'll cut you open with my
17:28kitchen knives!
17:31What the hell?
17:32Wait a second. Even if he had some industrial-grade cutting torch, at the very least, it'll take him the
17:38better part of an hour to get that safe open.
17:40It would be a lot faster and more practical to simply carry it off somewhere and destroy it! So that's
17:45his game!
17:49What unhinged thing is your paranoia telling you to do now?
17:58What's going on over there?
17:59Pretty sure he's securing the safe so we can't carry it off. I'm afraid it's too little too late.
18:07There was still a lot of uncertainty, but I was grateful for Akiyama's confidence. If not for that, I know
18:14I would have fallen apart like Mr. Fujisawa by that point.
18:18That was day 25. Only four more left until the game was over.
18:36We've reached the beginning of the end.
18:41If I can hold it together for just 90 more hours, I'll win 100 million yen!
18:46I saw this in the mail today. No doubt they sent him the same announcement.
18:51In four days, at 5pm.
18:54What now? I can't just keep watching him, can I?
18:58You're doing exactly what you need to. By watching Fujisawa, you're pushing him in the right direction.
19:03Am I?
19:05Stop worrying. You see, I've already cast a spell on that safe.
19:10And when the time comes, it's gonna swing wide open.
19:19Only three days to go? Just 72 hours between me and millions?
19:4012 hours before the end. Was Akiyama telling the truth? Will it really open?
19:51Not much longer now. I can't drop the ball here. Nothing is gonna keep me from getting what's mine.
20:11It's too late! I'm going to lose!
20:16Akiyama, where are you? I need your help! The game is almost over! Please, I don't know it's true! Akiyama,
20:22you said the safe went open, but it still hasn't!
20:31I knew you were bluffing! You were just trying to trick me into thinking you could open the safe!
20:36Please, Mr. Fujisawa, I know I've been spying on you and scaring you this whole time and I'm sorry, but
20:42you don't have to do this!
20:44We'll both be safe if you give me my 100 million back! Please, Mr. Fujisawa, don't do this! Please, Mr.
20:52Fujisawa, you can save me and my family if you just solve me!
20:56Shut up!
20:58Mr. Fujisawa!
21:00Mr. Fujisawa!
21:04No! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Please, Mr. Fujisawa, don't do this to me!
21:1245 minutes left and counting!
21:14Help me! Please help me! Mr. Fujisawa, help me! You're better than this! Please!
21:2130 minutes and counting!
21:3210 minutes and counting!
21:37Please! I'm still dying! Don't do this!
21:431 minute left!
21:498, 7, 6, 5,
21:564,
21:574,
21:583,
21:582,
22:001!
22:01I did it!
22:04I won the game!
22:08No!
22:09work!
22:312,
22:312,
22:313,
22:313,
22:373,
22:384,
22:384,
23:03Let's do it.
23:37Let's do it.
23:38Let's do it.
23:39Let's do it.
