You a movie buff?
Sort of. Old movies, though.
Which do you prefer, movies or subways?
Subways. Movie's come second.
Why do you like subways so much?
Dunno. I just do.
"Disconnected"
What he needs is some exercise.
Shibuya Line's done.
Old movies, though.
Cleaning complete.
He's a man. I'll report it.
All units, profile update.
Suspect is a male, 30s.
Driving a package delivery van.
Little contact with society.
It conflicts with an inflated ego...
fueling a destructive impulse.
Can you run a voiceprint check?
Yes, but it'll take time.
He's probably made a prank call to the police before.
Shinjuku Symphony Hall, 7:00 PM
Guys who don't want their whereabouts known...
have to lurk in shadows.
What's he up to?
You got me.
No doubt prepping for his big, explosive finale.
The third one promises to be a monster blast.
How do you know?
Instincts.
Hey, hey, hey!
It's Christmas Eve. Go to church!
You're all a bunch of sinners.
What're you, a ghost? Invisible Man? Say something!
Look, I'm busy, okay!?
What're you getting all pissed off about?
How's it coming?
Two more companies...
both software firms tied to the OS development.
Back end company.
Their names?
Nabeshima Software, Ltd...
and Digital Global Liner, Ltd.
"Liner?"
Digital Global Liner.
Or DGL.
DG Liner.
DG... Dan-Gan Liner!
It's him! Bingo! Location?
Shibuya Ward, 6-3-5 Yoyogi... 4th floor.
I'm on my way.
Narrow voiceprint search to calls from the area.
Gotcha.
Mashita...
To Yoyogi?
Next time he calls, mention Yoyogi and DGI... shake him up.
See what comes out.
Understood.
Finally, a real lead.
Let's go nail this geek.
An OS firm?
It's possible.
Someone who worked on your software could've planted a timed program...
a bug set to run years later...
causing your OS and ATO to malfunction.
That would save him the trouble of trying to sneak in here.
IRA terrorists often used "sleeping bombs."
Real explosives...
designed to go off ten years in the future.
You're kidding.
Of course, he didn't know me then.
He probably just decided a negotiator would be a good tool.
Mashita-san?
It's our out-of-shape friend.
Are you doing something sneaky?
No.
"Relay Point Search"
We could get serious and really start hurting some people.
Relay point confirmed!
Where?
Yoyogi.
"Yoyogi Seminar"
Have you ever worked near Yoyogi?
In software development?
Don't know.
Isn't it about time you came up?
Must be really stuffy down there.
You know, you and I probably do share some common traits.
Except I wouldn't hijack a train!
Take it easy.
Don't act like you know me.
If you mess with the police, you'll pay for it, I swear!
You're angry. Good.
Now you mean business, huh?
Well, so do I. And I'll prove it. Here's a clue.
Screw your clues!
Relax, Mashita. The hint is 335.2.
That's all you get.
Are you nuts? What're you riling him up for?
For a clue.
Sorry to disturb you.
Kijima-san. Look!
I sure wouldn't want any negotiators as my friends.
Spider?
Still unknown.
What's "335.2?"
Can't say yet.
Right here.
Know where they moved to?
I can check the records.
Please.
I recommend the symphony on Christmas Eve.
Ravel's Bolero.
No answer at the new address.
The place is empty. The firm went belly up.
But our perp's around here, for sure.
Are you scanning former DGL employee data?
That we are.
Hurry or we'll lose him!
Don't tell me you're worried.
No, I'm just freezing. Shut up.
I guess it's better than being holed up like a sewer rat.
We're sweating down here.
The weird kind.
Well, stay away from me, then!
I can't. You grow on people. You've got verve.
I bet you were bullied in school, though.
I wasn't bullied... just kind a stood out.
Yeah, so did my boss.
Hey, don't lump me together with Muroi!
Hey Mashita...
What?
We've got to help your boss save face on this one.
He's stuck his neck out pretty far.
You bet.
I'm saying we better start getting a little crazy here.
Or we're all in trouble.
Hello?
Did you figure it out?
Let's get serious.
Fine with me.
Your call cannot be connected. Please leave a message at the tone.
There's no train bomb.
Maybe.
There isn't.
Believe what you want.
You want to stop the Spider. I want to run it.
You'll need to figure out the clues to do it.
"335.2" was the first one?
Solve it?
A frequency of some kind.
Wrong... but close. Next one.
Wait.
Let's make this a two-way street.
If I figure it out, you make a concession.
No can do.
Games have to have rules, right?
I suppose.
Deal?
Fine, but starting with the next clue.
Okay. Shoot.
Michel Legrand and Francis Lai.
Movies again.
Both are French film score writers.
Legrand wrote "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg."
Lai wrote "A Man and a Woman" and "White Lovers."
"White Lovers"
White Lovers?
Those are cookies, a Sapporo specialty.
Now, you're just naming films.
What now, boss?
I know, I know... hold on.
Pull over. We'll patrol the area.
Find the Spider yet?
I'm afraid not, Sir.
Merry Christmas! Special delivery!
Who ordered this?
That's $420.
What?
Looks delicious.
Yes, it's our specialty chocolate mousse cake.
The "Bolero".
Claude Lelouch's "Bolero".
Very good.
Both Michel Legrand and Francis Lai scored the film.
Bolero?
Look here.
"Spend Xmas Eve with Ravel's Bolero"
The symphony tonight.
It's already begun.
Completely sold out, too.
Are you going to blow up the concert hall?
Bingo.
That's your real aim?
Then why steal the Spider?
Why not just blow up the concert hall?
An ordinary bombing would be too boring.
I wanted something sophisticated.
The third bomb.
Your instincts were right. I'll call the hall.
Wait!
He could be monitoring the audience.
If you start evacuating people...
he might set it off.
Call the bomb squad to Shinjuku Symphony Hall!
Set up a checkpoint outside. Search all cars!
It's Christmas!
I don't give a damn!
What's your condition?
I'll tell you. Just wait.
Mashita-san, you've got a girlfriend, right?
I know where she is.
How could you know that?
A cake was just delivered to you.
Cake?
The cake!
14-41...
Look at your ticket, Mashita-san.
Bolero.
She's at the concert?
You didn't know?
I thought she was at a movie.
Bolero...
He knows you'll go there if you can't make contact with her.
Then kaboom.
Can you afford to stay there, Mashita-san?
Your girl's going to die.
His real aim is...
you, Mashita.
Where were we?
Oh yes, your next clue.
You're not going to save her?
Afraid to leave your hole?
No, that's you!
You're peculiar, Mashita-san.
Easy, Mashita... easy.
"Midnight Plus One".
What? Can you repeat that?
Relax.
Midnight Plus One.
Hard-boiled spy novel...
written by Gavin Lyall.
It's not a movie.
Awesome story.
I like it when the alcoholic sniper makes a comeback.
It would've made a great movie.
This is an important clue, isn't it?
The others were all movies.
You're perceptive. But I doubt you can solve it, Mashita-san.
I can and I will... under one condition, though.
What?
That you deactivate the bomb.
No way.
This is a game, right?
A good one at that.
Very few could think up a game like this, let alone play one.
I can't win. You're too good.
Don't blow up that bomb.
Trying to cry your way out?
Is that in the manual, too?
Call when you have the answer.
There are no hidden tracks to Shinjuku.
Spider's not on the main lines.
Where the hell is it?
Juggernaut, Odessa File...
Bolero, Midnight Plus One.
What's the connection?
Hey!
Maybe it's this.
"Line 14"
Get a map.
A new line under construction.
It leads to Shinjuku.
The Spider's there!
To a train man...
"plus one" can only mean Line 14.
It's almost too obvious.
And "Midnight"?
That's the catch.
He's using reverse psychology.
Reverse psychology?
We haven't gotten any reports.
You can't enter Line 14 without hitting sensors.
We'll just have to use reverse, reverse psychology.
You mean plain psychology?
Whatever! Shut up!
The line's operational.
No power, though.
No power, no sensors.
That's why we can't monitor it.
But the Spider can run on its batteries.
What're you waiting for? Go!
The troops need their general in the field.
We'll take care of the trains.
Very well.
Chief...
Yukino-san?
Don't worry. I'll get her out.
Hone in on the suspect.
I'm on it.
Feed everyone information.
Got it.
To protect you from flying bullets.
Go save your woman.
Yes, Sir.
Mashita-san! Take my car.
Keep a cool head.
Don't get careless.
I won't.
Or my boss will take the rap.
He's probably got eyes on the audience so keep it quiet.
Koike... any luck with "335.2"?
I'm looking into frequencies but nothing so far.
Try matching it with "Bolero".
Rear that way!
Front this way!
Device located!
Wait. No need to rush.
Get back.
This is Bomb Disposal. We've located a suspicious article backstage.
First device opened.
It contains an oscilloscope.
Oscilloscope?
CIC, add "oscilloscope" to your query.
Multiple devices have been planted on the premises.
All remote operated. But no explosives.
Team B is searching.
I will now dismantle the detonator.
The hall's too big. It'll take too long to find the explosives.
Keep trying.
A hit.
Mashita-san, you know how you guessed 335.2 was a frequency?
And he said "wrong but close?"
I now know why.
It's musical score.
What?
"335.2" refers to the second beat of the 335th measure.
The bomb's set to blow at that precise point in the music.
The device is waveform calibrated.
It must be synched to that of a specific instrument.
A specific instrument?
An instrument played on the 2nd beat of the 335th measure.
The cymbals!
The cymbals are a detonator?
Don't touch that oscilloscope.
Cymbals...
In that sense, your frequency guess was accurate.
It just wasn't a frequency value.
Wrong... but close.
He's clever.
He could be watching the crowd.
If we stop the performance, he may decide to detonate.
Kataoka-san...
What?
You think the cell phones on the Spider could detonate the bomb?
The photo!
The cell phones, huh?
He figured we'd find the detonators in the hall.
But not a detonator on the Spider.
I believe Bolero is about 16 minutes long.
The cymbals come when?
"Ending 9:00 PM"
Less than 10 minutes!
Still a chance. I'm betting the suspect...
will come to the hall to watch his bomb.
So will the Spider.
The Spider, too?
If he's detonating from his van or the Spider...
he'll need to get close.
How do you know?
Just a hunch.
You guys sure go on a lot of hunches.
That's what makes a pro.
I have a plan... a final plan.
Kijima-san, you there?
Get to the hall.
You want me to hear classical music as I float to heaven?
I'll explain later.
Is the SAT team mobile?
Where to?
Shinjuku, for now.
Roger!
A little vague, aren't we?
Hey, have you ever seen the movie "Juggernaut"?
Nope.
Classic bomb removal.
Comes down to a choice between red and blue wires.
Well...
I've got seven here.
That figures.
What's the plan?
Go on instinct, I guess.
Don't be a fool!
Don't rely on that!
Listen up!
I'm cutting first.
Follow my lead.
Kataoka-san, detonators in the hall are being dismantled.
Just to be safe...
I'll have Kijima stop the cymbals player.
Hopefully, our bomber won't notice.
It's a bit sloppy but...
Hey, who're you calling sloppy?
That leaves the Spider. Still no trace?
No, but I bet it's on its way.
I'll try to talk it out of him while SAT prepares an assault.
If they hit the cell phones...
it should disrupt any detonator signal.
8 minutes. Find the Spider.
Your "monster blast" hunch was right.
It better not be, damn it!
Police! Let us through!
Sorry.
You want to stop the Spider.
"Voiceprint match"
Got him!
You're silent... but deadly.
Let's see.
A prank phone caller 8 years ago.
The local precinct caught him and let him off with a warning.
Attention all units... new suspect information.
Yuichi Hada, 24, former employee of DGL Ltd.
Way to go!
Drinks on me!
Keep your voice down!
24, huh?
He was 24 back then.
It's him!
Dangan Liner?
I don't like being ignored.
I'm consulting my superiors.
You're the boss now.
He seems irritated.
So where's the Spider?
Not telling.
I bet it's near you.
Maybe.
There's little time.
I haven't responded to your "Midnight Plus One" clue.
No, you haven't.
I'm thinking.
You'll never get it.
Yes, I will.
No way.
It can't be.
What?
It says Yuichi Hada died in an accident 8 years ago.
His death was confirmed by relatives.
What?
You sure about that?
Then who is this?
Who in the hell are you?
Life's full of surprises.
You needn't hold back against a ghost.
Crush him.
So, are you from the afterlife?
Say what?
I'm a geek, too, so I know...
about that fine line.
You have talent... but no one to show it to.
You want people to be impressed.
That desire grows stronger.
Until...
you cross that line.
You know nothing.
I prefer to stand on the edge of that line.
It's cooler.
Shut up.
I can put myself in your shoes. And think like you do.
Let me show you. Midnight plus one.
What about it?
"Midnight" is a decoy.
The clue is "plus one."
You're no longer in the "side lines".
But there's a new subway line.
It's under construction.
Hence, main lines "plus one."
Mashita, it's crunch time. Corner him.
Wrong. I'm in the "side lines".
I doubt it.
What new line? I don't know what you're talking about.
You do.
You're using it to bring the Spider to Shinjuku.
I guarantee it.
Believe what you want.
But you goofed.
How?
There's no construction work on Christmas Eve.
The line's closed.
The Spider can't approach the hall. What'll you do?
Don't make me laugh. Christmas Eve is not a holiday in Japan.
I did my homework.
Mashita!
He took the bait.
The Spider's on Line 14.
Right! Stop it at Shinjuku!
Yes, Sir!
"Shinjuku"
Stop the train at the Shinjuku Station entrance.
Yes, Sir!
Thanks for your cooperation.
Knock it off.
Ogata-san, Morishita-san!
Mashita-san? Why're you here?
What's up?
Car inspections.
We got called out.
Yeah, on Christmas Eve!
So what?
Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Take care of this car.
Take care of it?
How?
Just do it.
You do it.
Cut the red wire!
Got it!
The hall's safe for now. Stop that train!
There's no time to evacuate!
They're ready to fire.
Safety's off!
Aim!
Fire!
"Spider E4-600 ERROR"
Mashita!
Listen to this!
Train immobilized.
Yes!
Congratulations!
Now you can laugh.
Yes, Sir.
TTR Headquarters, 9:25 PM
Cause of the explosion unconfirmed.
No casualties from the blast have been reported thus far.
Nor any confirmation as to the survival...
or whereabouts of the suspect.
I'll take your questions.
I'm Yano of Public Relations.
Feel free to ask me anything about trains.
Is the ATO back on line?
Not at this moment but we're giving it top priority.
This is Muroi.
It's Mukoda of the Shinjuku precinct. Return to headquarters immediately.
Kumazawa-san.
Can I go home to retirement now?
Remember how you used to yell at me when I was in PR?
I yelled at everybody.
Thank you. Come visit anytime.
Don't get sentimental.
And don't call me again.
My grandkids are waiting.
See ya.
Who was the suspect after all?
HQ's digging through data but...
they haven't a clue.
I never quite figured him out.
There'll be loads more like him. Don't worry.
Like a plague.
Oh, there is one thing.
What?
At one point, you got very confident that the Spider...
wasn't carrying a payload.
Why?
Just a hunch. Like yours.
Thanks for everything, Kijima-san.
What a moron!
Great work.
You kept saying there'd be three bombs.
Yeah, am I good... or what?
But you wish you were wrong.
Yeah, well...
Hey, let's get a drink! Where's everybody?
Not tonight. I'm beat.
Excuse me.
Yukino-san...
Mashita-san!
I'm really sorry.
Tough night, huh? The police here told me.
Yeah, it was.
I'm glad you're okay.
Thanks.
Yukino-san?
Let's be together.
Let's get married.
Oops, wrong box.
Yukino-san... wait!
Wait.
Yukino-san...
let's raise a family.
We drink!
Merry Christmas, moron!
The ring!
Hold it right there!
Everybody freeze!
Don't move!
I dropped a ring!
Lift your feet!
