Kitajima going for gold,
two...one stroke from gold at the Olympics.
And he's finished! He has gold!
In the Athens, Greece where the Olympics started,
Kitajima Kosuke has gold!
This way. We didn't find any explosives or poisons.
1, 2, 3.
Mototani-san, are you all right? She's going into cardiac arrest!
It looks like it was set up
to remove all oxygen in the locker
after 72 hours.
That's it.
Chief, stop it!
Please stop!
Chief, that's enough!
42! Hey, 42!
Give this to the detective in charge of the Suginami case.
What's wrong Rookie? It's been a long time, you should be happy.
It looks a little thick.
Because the suspect supposedly killed 13 people.
13 people?
Just reading the preliminary notes will be tough.
If it was easy, it wouldn't be fun. Any complaints?
- No no. - Looking forward to the results.
Excuse me.
This is Nagashima.
What do you mean?
Takowasa Kawasaki.
The murder at the high class hostess club in Ginza 8 years ago?
The victim was Watanuki Ryoko, 23 years old. Killed at her place, right?
- Yes. - The murderer said there were 13 people in total.
What is this "Takowasa Kawasaki"?
The preliminary notes said it was a hint that he gave.
The case is already solved.
Why don't you just search the internet?
No! That's cheating.
Hmm, maybe the murderer worked at an izakaya
- in Kawasaki. - What are you saying?
Takowasa sounds like an izakaya.
Of course you would say ridiculous things like that.
The silver gem robbery murder?
Yeah. I looked at the data but
the initial investigation was so shabby. What were they thinking?
Next time around, I'll go
straight for him and solve this case!
The greedy man can't see much.
That's why women keep rejecting you.
Ow! Why?
Because Takamine outranks him.
No wonder she said that.
The Suginami case?
You must've heard something now.
Doesn't involve you.
Suginami, wasn't the Chief in charge of that?
It was in his jurisdiction.
Takamine was in the investigation too.
A case where the pain hasn't gone away for 6 years.
Even for Takamine.
Everyone, the Chief is calling.
The Chief?
Looks like a reopened investigation. Suginami.
Zettai Reido (Absolute Zero) - Case 8
The only data we have is that
someone kidnapped her on her
way home and put her into a dark blue van.
We know all the people in her family
and those with criminal records with dark blue
vans, but we don't have anything so far.
There's almost no data, we can't build a criminal profile.
Our only chance of getting him is by paying the ransom.
We only have 36 hours left.
Understood. The suspect contacted
the victim's home about the ransom!
In the end, he disappeared and never contacted them again.
Why didn't he come for the ransom?
It seems he knew that the police were involved,
so he gave up on the money.
After that, the time limit ran out
and even though he left the locker behind at the warehouse, she died.
Not even sure if it was a grudge or for the money.
The motive isn't settled.
- Right, investigator Takamine? - Yes.
It seems like the victim's father was involved
with some tax evasion scandal of the Diet budget committee.
So he was a member of the Diet?
Mototani Takuro of the Democratic Party. That's why the media covered it so much.
All of them.
Chief, is there any new evidence for this reopened investigation?
Someone who claimed that he did this, has appeared.
Former mechanic, Oguri Taichi.
Serving time for manslaughter but he's gotten sick, he's being hospitalized now.
Is he really the one who did it?
He drew this. It's the Suginami murder machine.
The machine that removed oxygen after 72 hours.
He even wrote a letter confessing to it.
What about the voice? Do they have the voice from the ransom demand?
They didn't match.
But there's a high chance that he was involved.
Why is this Oguri confessing now?
I don't know. Takamine, I'll leave the investigation to you.
Chief, I'm...
Leave it to me. I'd like to help you out.
I'm thankful but I want Takamine to do it.
- Okay? - Understood.
Sakuragi, ask for data on Oguri from the headquarters.
- Ah okay. - Rookie. I want you there too.
- Huh? - Why?
There's only 15 hours remaining.
We couldn't get a profile at the scene
so it was decided that we get a real criminal profiler in here right away.
Takamine of the Central Government Profiling Team.
There's a high chance that
more than 1 person carried out the kidnapping.
From the note, it seems we have someone who's very attentive to details.
So one of them is
faithful to rules, an introvert with a lot of pride.
Technical worker, man in his 30s or 40s.
What does someone who wasn't at the scene know?
It's just like you said.
Profiling is all about statistics.
But my powers of perception can't
- be beaten anyone here. - You've got some guts.
Did the boy you went out with a month ago run away from you?
No.
Even though it's saying you lie?
- Next question. - Did he leave because
- another girl got him? - No.
Are you always rejected like that?
No!
We don't need a polygraph for you.
It shows on your face right away.
I see why the Chief wanted her to come here too,
to take the load off you?
What? Don't say such stupid things.
It seems Oguri is fine.
Please answer no to all of the following questions.
Did you kill your friend half a year ago
over a dispute about a loan?
No.
Did you work as a mechanic
in a semiconductor parts factory 6 years ago?
No.
Were you involved in the Suginami murder?
No.
Were you an accomplice to the murderer?
I read in the newspaper before.
- About the murderer profile you made. - Answer the question.
The murderer was faithful to rules, an introvert with a lot of pride.
How about it miss detective?
- Do I fit your profile? - Answer the question.
You killed a perfectly good citizen. Haha...
Oh, old-time detective? You remember the paper airplane?
I threw it.
It was an amazing end to the act.
The murderer evading the
inefficient police for 6 years, ending it with his own confession.
Why did you do it?
It doesn't matter.
I planned it all alone.
There were others.
Your voice
doesn't match the one that made the ransom call.
I just had some punk make the call for me.
Think. Use a little imagination.
Detective. Use your head a little when you investigate.
Isn't that why you couldn't make an arrest?
Stop joking and get serious!
Stop, he's still my patient.
It's cute to see you so worked up.
You made preparations? I'll call again.
It seems there's an ex-convict
that Oguri was involved with.
Fukuzawa gave you the voice data, right?
Yep, the voice doesn't match
with the voice of the ransom call at all.
Is this what Oguri made?
It's set up to control
air flow in the locker, eventually
removing all oxygen.
Did he make it all by hand?
Isn't it cool? Oguri took this tiny thing
and made all this? Quite skillful.
It's not something to admire you nerd.
Oh, can you do some work on this too?
- What? - Voice data on
Oguri's ex-convict contact.
Huh? Shiraishi-san, I haven't had lunch yet.
Neither have we. We still have more investigating to do.
My body isn't that strong.
Don't lump me in with you, muscley Tsukamoto-chan.
Don't go calling me by -chan you idiot.
She was so happy
when she won the district championship.
Yeah.
She took a lot of pictures with this.
We should put them all in the coffin.
Mototani-san, I'm sorry to ask but
would you let us take care of all your daughter's belongings?
Why?
We'd like to analyze them for any clues on the murderer.
Will you give me your cooperation?
We understand.
I'll do whatever I can to resolve this as quickly as possible.
- Nakashima-san. - Sorry for not reaching out in awhile.
They are the parents of the victim Mototani Shoko.
They didn't know who Oguri was.
I'm sorry that we
- couldn't help at all. - Nonsense!
I'm the one who should be apologizing.
I haven't been able to solve this case for 6 years now.
Your letters always
bring us some comfort.
I will arrest whoever did this.
Please do your best.
Excuse us.
We probably brought up some bad memories for them.
Yes.
The paper airplane that Oguri talked about was never spread to the media,
only the police knew about it.
The polygraph makes it obvious he was involved too.
But he didn't really reveal anything big.
Kept saying that he did it alone,
we don't even know why he
would only confess to it now.
I really wonder if he did it alone like he said.
Oguri's voice doesn't match with the voice from the ransom call.
- It would be dangerous to stop looking for an accomplice. - Tsukamoto and I
- will keep looking at the people involved with Oguri. - Please.
- Where did Takamine go? - Talking with the Chief.
Ah, I see.
You killed a perfectly good citizen. Haha...
- Uh, Shiraishi-san. - Yeah?
I heard it from the Chief.
That the Chief and Takamine-san still carry pain from the Suginami case.
I read about the case but
there's nothing about what Oguri had said.
Well, every detectives eventually have one or two cases which
they carry a burden for.
For me, it's the Hachioji case.
Fukuzawa's was that God of Death case we solved recently.
Tsukamoto carries scars that'll never heal.
You don't have any experience yet,
you wouldn't understand.
Oh, besides that, have you
figured out the Takowasa Kawasaki riddle?
Not at all, I only had a chance to read the criminal profile.
If you just read the notes carefully you'll figure it out.
Carefully?
Tomorrow's interview with Oguri,
could you let another person conduct it?
Did what Oguri say get to you?
I don't believe I can remain calm in there.
I don't want to cause problems and give him a chance to get away.
Excuse me.
It's not your fault we had a victim.
I overestimated my profiling abilities.
My mistake is unforgivable.
We have two suspects without
alibi. First, Saeki Shogo.
Previously convicted of rape,
he was observed calling out
to the victim before.
The other person is Sendo Yutaka.
Several weeks before the kidnapping
he got into an argument with the victim's father over trash
and made many false minor
accusations against the family.
In addition, he has large debts.
The two of them are known
to own a dark blue van.
How does it look Takamine?
Car repair man, 35 years old. Seems straight laced.
Introvert with a few friends.
Sendo Yutaka. He fits the profile.
Despite frequent inquiries as a material suspect,
Man A continues to deny all charges.
Man A has no alibi for
the night Mototani Shoko disappeared.
She's coming out!
Please, a word from the mother!
You met with your son, right?
This is ridiculous.
They have no reason to suspect
- my son with this. - It appears he
matched a profile for the possible suspect of the murder.
Profile?
Good morning.
Sorry for not keeping in touch, Nakashima-san.
What do you want?
- Digging for leads? - I came here just
- to meet Nakashima-san. - Just to?
I still think a lot about the Suginami case.
It was during that case where I first met you.
You make it sound like I was your first love.
Didn't you just reopen Suginami?
Just give me some info.
I don't know anything about that.
Don't act so cold Nakashima-san.
Excuse me, authorized personnel only!
Don't think I'll give up so easily!
Suginami is an embarrassment for the police!
He was quick to get word about this.
Continue the investigation discreetly.
Let's not do the same things we did six years ago.
Right.
Fukuzawa and Sakuragi, you're talking to Oguri today.
Understood.
Okay.
We kept going over all of Oguri's drinking buddies,
I was surprised to see the sun come out!
Why are you proud of finding nothing?
I've had just enough of you!
Boss, we found a person of interest.
- Really? - Yes.
Hatada Ryuji, 39. Previously convicted of assault.
An acquittance of Oguri
and used to live near the victim's house.
Remember the terrorist attack at Democratic
Party HQ 2 weeks before Suginami?
Democratic Party? That's the party of the victim's father.
Hatada was an underling in the gang that committed the attack.
He might've gotten to know Mototani Takuro from that attack,
and decided to move on to kidnapping for money then.
Might be a possibility.
Go find Hatada.
You have a link to the victim's father.
Oguri might've planned the kidnapping, but you carried it out with him.
Stop joking. I didn't have anything to do with it.
He's just someone I knew from mahjong and drank with.
Hmm, maybe there's something you can tell me.
The night she was kidnapped, August 11, 2004,
where were you?
There's no way I can remember, it was 6 years ago.
Hmm. You're getting married next month, right?
What? That has nothing to do with you.
No, you have no alibi so
I'll have to investigate the people around you.
Does your girlfriend know you used to be part of a gang?
Wait a second! I said had nothing to do with it!
Keep playing dumb and I'll keep chasing after you.
Drain all the oxygen after 72 hours? Pretty malicious.
The other guy planned it that way.
Hey, we need a driver so
can I count on you?
They'll probably get
us when we try to get the ransom.
We're not just looking to get a ransom here.
The other guy said if we get a female high schooler
in there, he'll pay 5 million yen.
Sounds too good to be true.
What's his deal?
Is he all right? We don't know his name.
What does it matter if we do?
Give me the plans.
Guess so.
What's with these marks?
It's his habit.
He's a nervous guy, when he's thinking about designs,
he keeps tapping with his pen.
It's how he works.
So what about it? Are you going to help?
So the real offender was the one who thought about the plan.
That's what Hatada said.
That's a flash from the past, Hatada. Is he doing well?
Answer Oguri. Who suggested the kidnapping?
Why didn't that female detective come here today?
Was she too nervous to come?
Stop talking nonsense and answer the question!
All that's left is my name now.
Shaking up the world with a terrible crime.
Are you okay?
All I have is that case.
It's okay Oguri. That's it for today.
I'm a useless person.
Get the ECG ready.
I said it.
A hint to solve the case.
What did you say? Oguri!
Please move. Out of the way!
I'll call them.
Oguri-san, we're moving you.
I see. Got it.
Fukuzawa?
Yes.
Oguri is dead.
- What? - Right before he died,
supposedly he gave a hint to solve the case.
- Hint? - Yeah.
But we don't know what he said.
Now he's taken all that info with him.
End the case? What do you mean Commissioner?
The Suginami case is an embarrassment.
There's no point to keep investigating.
Didn't Oguri confess anyway?
Oguri had an accomplice. We're continuing our investigation.
It was your investigation that killed Oguri.
There was no problem with it.
It doesn't matter if there really was.
That reporter Miyama
is looking into Oguri's death.
The accomplice will come after him.
Worse case scenario, we repeat the same mistakes from 6 years ago.
The investigation is over, okay?
Why are you stopping the investigation?
There's no problem with how we did things.
I can't allow an investigation
be stopped for no reason!
We have to stop the investigation because the
papers might catch on.
I'll keep looking into Hatada. I'll get something from him.
He was the one that Oguri told about the kidnapping.
Hatada can't deny a crime.
His voice and the ransom call's match.
Any more attacks will be tough.
I'll take responsibility. If he escapes now
the Suginami case will just keep on going, right?
Even if you solve it, you might not be able to take this on.
And that's why he keeps getting away!
Tsukamoto, please understand.
Is this really all right, Chief?
We're just going to put a cover on this case again?
What kind of excuse is this?
Calm down already!
I'm sorry.
I'll do what I can do to start it up again. Believe me.
I believed you. Up to now.
Hey, Tsukamoto.
Go home today Sakuragi. There's nothing you can do.
Okay.
How about a drink? We can talk about Takowasa.
Sorry, I don't feel like it.
How boring.
Shiraishi-san, do you really think this is okay?
They say good things come to those who wait. Haha. See ya.
He's over it quickly.
Oh, Boss! How about a drink?
I can't go straight home.
Shiraishi-san, you get angry when you drink.
Are you refusing a senior's request?
Just joking. I feel like drinking myself actually.
Ah, Sakuragi-san,
you have a Mototani-san visiting for you. Please.
- Goodbye. - Thank you.
Sorry to bother at a busy time.
Not at all. Did something happen?
I was wondering if I could see my daughter's things.
This way.
Thank you.
We just finished testing it, so there might still be power.
It's the same background.
I saw the picture and she sent me a copy of it.
Beautiful, right?
Yes.
I asked her to show me where that sunset was.
She told me, "next time."
I wonder what they were thinking.
- Huh? - The murderer.
He's living his life out somewhere.
Why did she have to die?
Sorry, are you with Investigations?
- Yes. - Sorry to bother you.
I'm actually a friend of the victim's father.
I've known Mototani since childhood.
I just want to ask a few questions about Suginami.
I'm sorry but
I can't talk about investigations.
Wait! It was in the paper, right?
Someone came out and said he did it.
I'm sorry, I can't talk about any investigations.
What's actually important to the police? The rules or the victims?
I won't tell anyone else. Please tell me.
Is it true that Oguri died during an interrogation?
Why are you asking?
So they are really denying it, huh?
Do you have no honor? Going after the new person, Miyama?
Don't talk to me about bad reputations.
It's just a misunderstanding.
What misunderstanding? Explain yourself.
Sharp eyes. As expected.
So are you his friend?
Oh, that's a lie, give it back.
I'm Miyama from the Toto Paper.
But I was serious about telling the victim's family.
If I got what I needed, it would've been a good story.
- What were you thinking? - She's new, doesn't know anything.
Choose your targets better next time.
Is that so? I'll come back again. Bye!
That's terrible, using the victim's family name.
Chief.
This article is by the reporter from yesterday!
- Right. - What is he doing?
Why did he say that about Takamine-san?
- Calm down Rookie. - With this article
we can't start up again. I'm going to lodge a complaint.
Calm down!
- The article is supposed to get to you. - Huh?
It's common practice for reporters to
write assumptions to get the truth.
Now you're involved, you saw Oguri die.
- That's... - Get it? Calm down.
Sometimes as detectives,
unexpected victims come up along the way.
In the worst scenarios, even the best investigations have to get involved with death.
We have a report from that day. An attendant
saw Sendo's car at a gas stand
- in Kashiwa, Chiba. - Is it accurate?
The attendant wasn't 100% sure but
Sendo's handwriting and voice don't match.
- We should stop. - We can't stop
based on weak evidence. The
profile fits for Sendo.
Chief.
- Sendo killed himself. - What?
This morning, his mother saw that he hung
himself in his room.
I understand, but please calm down!
Isn't that Sendo's mother?
Where is the person who made that profile?
Wait Takamine!
I'm the profiler.
You murderer!
Sendo-san, I'm in charge of the investigation.
What is this profiling?
You don't know anything about my son! Wait!
I'll take all the responsibility.
Murderer! Murderer!
It's my fault.
You can't apologize.
Then it'll be our mistake.
This was an act of God.
Give me back my son!
Soon after, they got information about Sendo and
found out he had an alibi.
That's when Takamine quit as a profiler.
The Chief thinks about it too.
It was his command, so he made the victim.
The only victim wasn't Sendo. It was Takamine also.
You won't know the wounds the investigators carry
just from reading the investigation reports.
You became a detective to catch the person
who killed your mother in a hit and run, right?
The statute of that case ran out so long ago.
It will never be solved.
So that's why you hate unsolved crimes, right?
The Chief knew that and that's why
he had no reply for you other than an apology.
Are you still here?
Sendo-san.
I've told you to stop bothering us.
I'm sorry. Excuse me.
Wait.
Take these back.
My son can't take these from his murderer.
I'm very sorry.
Sorry, I heard about what happened 6 years ago from the Chief.
I figured you would be here.
So then you reflexively decided to come out here.
Put out your hand to another victim?
Can you stop with that face?
- Huh? - A face that looks
like it found something it doesn't want to see?
Sorry.
Sorry, I didn't mean to be angry.
I can see I'm upsetting you.
I know what I'm doing.
Me coming here is causing trouble for the victim's family.
But doing this is the only way I can think of paying them back.
I'm just satisfying myself. Terrible.
Come on. What's wrong with you?
I don't know.
Hey, we're here to take the Suginami locker.
- We haven't packed it yet. - Come on.
I told you the investigation was stopped.
This guy bothers me, treating us like idiots.
- Oguri's interview? - Oh there!
He said something. I don't know what though.
- Shiraishi-san. - Ah, there.
Oguri's hint, huh?
- What is it? - Oguri said it, the hint to solve the case.
- Oh man. - How persistent of you.
He won't rest till he gets it.
It's what we want! Master, get to work!
Oh, is this it now?
I'm sorry for this morning.
It's fine. I get it.
Can we restart the investigation?
We're talking with them now. We'll definitely get it going.
- Is there anything else going on? - Hmm?
Well, I'm off tomorrow
so I might do what I can alone.
Don't investigate, okay?
Understood.
- And don't forget about the task I gave you. - Yes.
Miyukidai...
She went multiple times.
I asked her to show me.
Where that sunset was.
She told me, "next time."
- Ah sorry. - Yes?
Do you know where to find this view?
That chimney is over there, isn't it?
- A ladybug! - Oh, a ladybug?
- Sorry. - You're right.
And now this. Police headquarters just announced
the official end to the investigation of an
unsolved murder in Suginami from 2004.
There had been word of new evidence...
What is this?
Headquarters does want to keep a lid on Suginami.
So they weren't going to open it again.
Chief is checking with headquarters now.
Thank you very much.
July 28, the last day here.
What did she find then?
Excuse me.
- Do you come here often? - Yes.
Do you remember seeing this girl?
It was 6 years ago though.
Ah, I don't know her.
I see.
Could it be?
Don't investigate, okay?
Why did she
have to die?
Chief, it's Sakuragi.
Oh Rookie? What is it?
I found a person of interest with the Suginami case.
I told you not to investigate.
Sorry, came across it suddenly.
There was a place I wanted to check for the victim's mother.
Huh?
What happened?
Sorry, I lost him.
He had a habit that Hatada described.
I was just a little curious.
- Where are you? - Uh...
Miyukidai...
Rookie!
The criminal's habit? That's what Sakuragi said?
Yes, and then she suddenly hung up.
I called over and over, but she didn't answer.
Why was Sakuragi in Miyukidai?
Something happened to Sakuragi?
Calm down. We don't know that yet.
- Investigations. - Oomori from the lab.
I know what Oguri said.
- Rocket. - Rocket?
