Takebayashi and Araki's fingerprints were switched.
Someone's been attacking the police database.
They made it look like I did it.
Araki's been shot!
Be careful. We don't want to hurt any civilians.
Headquarters, we've spotted Hatakeyama Akiko.
She's headed north from the Yamamura building
near Kuramae bridge. She has a gun.
She's wearing a black one piece and...
Don't rush it. Be accurate.
Yes. A black one piece and a beige cardigan.
She has black shoes and a black bag.
Got it. We'll have local police be on the lookout.
So Hatakeyama Akiko killed Araki?
Must have altered my data.
We don't know that yet.
There's one thing I'm worried about.
Hatakeyama Akiko's eyes wandered away from me for a second.
I think she was running from someone else.
So someone is coming after her then?
- Possibly. - So then,
why is she hiding out here?
If she can alter data, she could've easily gone overseas.
That's what we're worried about too.
We had reports of her appearing all over
the Kanto region.
So then what's she planning
with everything she's done up to now
and the murder of Araki?
Ah, I don't see any trace of Hatakeyama Akiko.
I looked at cameras on her escape path
one by one.
Did you notice anything special?
There was nothing on the cameras.
Linden Herb tea.
More stuff for my memory?
No, this helps calm the nerves.
Thank you.
The Hachioji case. The OBGYN arson murder case.
And the murder of Araki Takanori.
Hatakeyama Akiko seems to be
involved in all of our recent cases.
And Tsukamoto's murder too.
You're not the only one who failed to get her.
I'm still worried about something.
Takigawa-san aren't you going? It's her shadow!
I've never seen Takigawa-san miss the target before.
Maybe he's getting worn out?
Chief, sorry to interrupt. Can I have a moment?
- Yes. - About Hatakeyama Akiko.
I think we should combine our forces.
Understood.
Rookie, take a break tonight. Good work.
Minister.
The draft of the energy summit speech six days from now.
- We received it from the Foreign Ministry a short while ago. - Okay.
Motoko-san, good morning.
- Morning. - Do you have time sometime next week?
I might on Tuesday. Your university report?
Yeah, my French professor is strict.
Mayu, are you still getting advice?
My excellent secretary isn't here to do your work.
But she's more helpful than you ever were.
- I'm heading out. - Okay.
- Sorry. - No.
Master! Did you figure out who
Araki was talking to before he died?
He's been working three days without sleep. It's pointless.
I think the disgrace is with the around-30 sadist there.
Did you find something then?
There was nothing on his laptop of use.
It's actually quite refreshing to see that for once.
Did Fukazawa's team get anything then?
I don't think so. Nothing with Hatakeyama Akiko either.
If we can get her, we'll find out what's really going on.
We have a case. Minister Shibasaki Junichi's daughter has been kidnapped.
Minister Shibasaki, he's the foreign minister, right?
- What do they want? - They want three hundred million yen.
The minister is
supposed to be at the world energy summit in six days.
- Maybe this is politically motivated. - We don't know that for sure.
Kidnapping a current minister's family, it has
to be politically motivated.
Only the police know about this incident.
Be discreet in your investigations.
The longer that this takes, the lower the chance of survival.
We need to get her out safely.
Yes.

Is there any trace of the criminal?
The street the minister's daughter was abducted has little foot traffic.
There aren't any cameras in the area.
What about the suspicious vehicle seen by the residents before the kidnapping?
I understand the number check found it to be a stolen vehicle.
You've already gone through all the reports?
- Yes. - No need for thanks,
we've got everything packed up.
- Heavy! - Are you a man?
That's why you aren't popular with girls.
First, let's look around the minister's neighborhood.
Nothing strange on the east side.
No strange people or cars in the front.
Nothing in the north.
No problem with the back entrance.
There's a car parked in the west side but
the number check shows no problem.
We're finished with the surveillance.
The support force is ready to go.
Let's start.
Excuse us. We'll set up over here.
Please help us.
How is it?
This is Shibasaki.
You haven't contacted the police, right?
I haven't. Is my daughter all right?
Is the money ready?
Let me hear my daughter first.
If you want her to be safe, you'll keep quiet and answer my questions.
Three hundred million is a lot. It will take time to get it.
Stop playing around! Get it ready soon.
I can do it by noon tomorrow.
I won't wait any longer.
I’ll tell you the where to go at that time.
Wait!
We couldn't get a trace. He was using overseas servers.
The minister's computer
has a message.
Mayu.
Look at this. There's a picture of a newspaper.
- Arabian. - Yes.
The minister was focused on new energy.
He promoted a development plan with lycine gas but
two years ago, the rights to oil resources
were the target of terrorist attacks.
So terrorism to keep him from attending the summit?
- Yes. - Let's get in touch with the public safety group
and see if there are any links with domestic terrorists.
There's only 16 hours left until the money handoff.
We need to do all we can to stop the criminal by then.
- Yes. - Yes.
- Sorry. - It's okay.
Sorry to intrude.
Sekine-san. You're going out now?
Yes. To the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the minister's office.
Sorry to ask, but maybe you could hold off for a bit?
I asked her to go.
If I can't make it to the summit then
I'd like for her to have all the data to take my place.
I trust her.
Please. I can’t let personal matters get in the way of official business.
Understood.
It's very important news of your daughter's kidnapping not get out.
- Please be careful. - I understand.
Strange. When I tried to help her with her things,
she had a look of worry on her face.
Do you know where the data I put here is?
What? It was just there.
Yeah.
The secretary Sekine is out.
There's a chance she has investigation data with her.
Follow her.
Got it.
Honma-san, go behind.
- Yes. - Inoue-san, please.
Okay, taking the other side.
Huh? The wireless seems to be cutting in and out.
Maybe you're getting nervous?
Ever since your incident we upped the security.
Yeah, guess so.
I’m changing the channel every 10 minutes just to be sure.
Ah, strong.
Thanks for waiting.
- Looks good. - Enjoy.
- Sorry. - Yes?
- Could you take out the tomato? - Huh?
- I don't like tomato. - Ah, I got it.
I didn't know there was tomato.
- Sorry. - Sure.
[Everything's going as planned. Thank you for your cooperation. I'll contact you if there's any movement.]
[It's not a done deal yet. This is just the beginning. Keep up the good work.]
Match. Kondo Masahiro.
She's in Shibasaki's office. The left building.
Got it.
If she's the betrayer
she would have been using her
position as his secretary for her crimes.
We don't have time. We need to find some link for us to the minister.
5 years ago we worked part time on his election campaign.
- How's that? - Not bad.
Sorry, we're all busy preparing for the summit.
Sorry to bother while you're so busy.
- Not at all. - We were doing some work nearby
and wondering if we could say hello to the minister.
Ah, I see. Well, I don't know you two actually...
Ah, can't be helped.
There were a lot of people who helped with the election.
- Motoko-san, I'm heading out. - Ah, okay.
Ah, excuse me. Hello?
Sekine-san, how long have you been the minister's secretary?
Ah, about 10 years now.
Why did you want to become his secretary?
I'm from the same town as Shibasaki-sensei.
A professor from our local university introduced me to him.
I started out just helping out at his office.
Shibasaki-sensei is famous around my hometown.
It's been tough the last ten years working for him
but I definitely think it's worth it.
This cup is very pretty.
- Ah? - Was this the minister's choice?
Oh, yes. He got them at a store in Ebisu
- called "Felice." - Oh, I know that store.
I love them too.
I have to get back to work soon.
Ah, is that so? We should go soon, sir.
Ah, sorry to drop in suddenly.
- Not at all. - Thank you very much.
Excuse us.
Takigawa-san, are you feeling well?
- Takigawa-san? - Nice save there.
It would be nice if she wasn't the betrayer.
You always fall for that type of girl.
Yeah, I'll send it right away. Give me a second.
I saw it. She definitely has something.
Hey, come on. Tell me the place.
I'm worried.
Always the same unknown number, I don't know how to get in touch.
Who is giving her directions?
Brother, are you listening?
I just sent it over.
Look into her brother.
Minister Shibasaki's secretary, Sekine Motoko's brother is
a freelance journalist. Sekine Kunihiro, 36.
A few years ago in a serial magazine
he collected a lot of data about terrorist groups.
Recently, in a weekly magazine he's
written articles critical about the current government.
But that column never got printed
and ten days before the kidnapping he disappeared.
So she probably got close to the minister to help out her brother.
But she's worked for the minister for ten years now.
Planning a kidnapping for that long?
What would cause her to turn her back on ten years of work?
What's the real story behind this crime?
Well first we still need to do what we can to save the girl.
Yes.
Did something happen?
It's progressing faster than I thought.
My vision is decreasing. I won't be able to do everything I can now.
My time is coming up soon.
- Is it the kidnapper? - No, we still
have 3 hours until the exchange.
Why have you not followed my orders?
- What do you mean? - I checked!
You've called the police.
No, I haven't! Why are you saying that?
Verify it yourself. People are watching the video.
This is a parking lot near you. Where are there police?
I don't know. I didn't call any police.
- You have one hour to hand over the money. - Wait!
You said I had until noon, that's 3 hours.
I can't get the money ready that soon.
Then you've given up on your daughter.
Two hours. Give me two hours.
Komazawa Park, 2 hours. Come alone with the money.
Bring my daughter with you. If she's not there, there's no money.
Understood.
What the hell are you doing!? What kind of sloppy work is this?
- Please calm down minister. - This is no joke!
He moved up the timetable!
The police have been doing all they can for you.
You'll save our daughter, right?
We will. Please trust us.
Who could have uploaded this video?
- Hacking? - Yes.
A security firm confirmed it.
They found a record of unauthorized access
in their security camera database.
More hacking?
Takebayashi, can you find out who uploaded this video?
No, they're good. They erased their tracks.
But the investigator’s profile on the video
is the exact same profile as the one in the police database.
So then you think that hacker who framed you
got inside the police database again?
If so, then Hatakeyama Akiko is involved here too?
There's something more to this kidnapping.
Let's use Sekine Motoko to get the kidnapper.
We'll lay out a trap to get her brother out into the open.
You think Sekine Motoko will go for it?
Fifty-fifty chance.
Let's do it. Things are getting worse.
If it will increase our chances of rescuing the girl,
it's worth a try.
Hatakeyama Akiko is probably behind all this.
Let's do it.
Chief.
Okay.
- We're starting. - Okay.
In case the kidnapper changes the drop off location, I want
us to cover every district.
So a decoy plan.
In each district, we intentionally left some areas uncovered.
We placed more undercover personnel on alert in those locations.
So we’re leading the kidnapper on to use one of those places to pick up the money.
- Help me out. - Okay.
She’s taking the plan.
Entered the middle door.
Copying something.
Sekine Motoko is leaving from the back exit.
We’ll keep our distance and track her by GPS.
If we get caught on camera, our faces
- may get exposed again. - Okay.
She's not moving.
It's an hour left until the money hand off. We're running out of time.
Brother?
I brought it.
Is this the only way?
She's a little worried.
Of course. She's worked for the minister for ten years.
Then why did she go along with the kidnapping?
Is Mayu-chan okay?
Okay. I’m sending it now.
Someone's coming back.
What is it?
The meeting got shifted by a bit.
- Can I help out? - It's okay!
It's okay. I have time.
Ah, could you get that?
Sure.
Hello, Shibasaki Junichi's office.
I'm interested in the internship program
next month. I wonder if I could get more details.
No, not a problem.
Excuse me. Thank you very much.
An internship?
It was on a poster last time we visited.
Good memory.
Someone told me over and over that I couldn't remember
anything. I've been practicing.
You have a problem?
Figured it out, huh?
I want to get this kidnapper.
If Hatakeyama Akiko is really behind this
then I definitely want to catch her this time.
As a detective, I need to do this.
I feel the same way.
Sekine Motoko transmitted the plan.
The false information has been delivered.
Excuse me.
In your ear.
- We don't have time. Let's hurry. - Okay.
The minister is on the move.
I want everyone to be ready to jump in.
B group, got it.
- We'll definitely get him. - Yeah.
Minister has arrived at the park.
Got it. Meeting at the west park entrance.
Passing point D.
We're changing phones. There's one behind the pole.
Found it.
Get rid of your wireless and GPS. The ones in the bag and car too.
- I don't have those things. - Don't you care about your daughter!?
20 minutes. Toyomi Bridge in Chuo.
He changed the location. 20 minutes at Toyomi Bridge.
He told me to get rid of the wireless and GPS. I'm leaving it here.
He changed the dropoff to Toyomi Bridge.
Everyone head for Toyomi Bridge and get ready.
C group, understood.
- A group, got it. - The minister
is out of our reach now. Don't lose sight of him.
Got it.
Toyomi Bridge is one of the areas that's been set up.
If he falls for it, we can capture him.
We're all in place at Toyomi Bridge.
C group is circling around.
We're five kilometers from Toyomi Bridge.
[The police's layout plan is a dummy. Don't go to Toyomi bridge. Move to a different location.]
Got it.
He shook us off.
We're coming to help.
Group F has the minister. We're following.
The minister's car seems to be heading for Shinagawa now.
Group D and E, meet up at the district office and go from there.
- Group D, got it. - Group E, understood.
He's avoiding the traps.
We're dealing with a professional here.
He's moving the minister around to decrease the police presence.
Changing the wireless channel.
Group D 5 minutes...
The minister's car is 300 meters from Yashiro Street.
Group G and H go to Yashiro Street.
Meet the team going south with the minister's car.
- He changed course again. - We lost him.
- Group C lost him also. - Do whatever
it takes to find him.
Ah, there he is.
We found the minister.
Nakakawa Street. North by the Residents' Ground.
Group B is ten minutes out.
- Hurry up. - Group D
is 15 minutes out. We're on the move.
[The police identified the location. Get the deal done within 10 minutes.]
The minister is out of the car. We're at the old Toto Valve Factory.
Group B will be there soon. Use caution.
Got it.
Okay.
Heading inside.
- I'll go around to the front. - Okay.
I believe the criminal's car is here.
- Mayu. - We see the kidnappers.
The minister's daughter is here too.
We have to focus on rescuing the daughter.
- Group B, are you there yet? - Arriving soon.
Give me the money.
Put it down.
Give me my daughter! Mayu, run! Run!
Mayu! Mayu!
They're driving a black van. Shinagawa plate, 300-2641.
Mayu-chan, Mayu-chan are you okay?
Damn it, they were after the minister the whole time.
I saw Hatakeyama Akiko.
Hello?
Were you nearby too?
Kohata?
You finally got to me.
Don't be quiet, say something.
Give me back who I am.
You’ve been looking for me all this time just to say that?
That’s a stupid reason.
You're a monster.
First time I've heard that.
I'd like to see you.
- What? - Seiwa Building. Underground parking lot at 7.
I'll be waiting.
Kawashima-kun? I have a request for you.
What have the police been doing? What have you done!?
I'm very sorry. We will save your husband.
Any clues on who put up the video?
They're using a lot of overseas servers.
- We can't get their position. - The media
is already going crazy over this.
This is probably what the kidnappers
wanted to do from the beginning.
So it is terrorism.
- What about Hatakeyama Akiko? - Fukazawa's looking
into it but they don't have anything.
We don't know where the kidnappers are now either.
We're at a stalemate.
Hatakeyama Akiko was at the scene.
High chance she's involved with the kidnapping.
Let's get in touch with Fukazawa and start the search over from scratch.
Don't give up. We will catch whoever is responsible.
Yes.
Kawashima.
Why are you looking for him?
He's taken everything from me.
My name. My identity. He erased everything about me.
- You have your life. - Without an identity
it's just like I'm dead.
Tell Kohata.
That I know his true identity.
That's why he said you were a problem.
We had to save the hostage. Your judgment was right.
That's not like you, to say that.
Is something wrong with your eyes?
Not really.
Why are you lying?
During this case, you've been missing things
here and there.
It was because of your teachings that
I was able to see all that.
Is my intuition still off?
I don't need you to worry about it.
Your lies are hurting this case.
If you were in my place, you would say the same thing.
You know what I'm saying is right.
I won't bother you about it anymore.
If it really is that bad, please say so.
What is it?
Please let me leave the team.
This is it for me.
I'm becoming an obstacle to this case.
I'm sure you realize it too.
When we catch the person
behind the kidnapping, we'll find out who did the rest.
If your eyes are at their limit, use Sakuragi's.
You've helped her grow so much.
Haven't you realized as much?
You always know what to say.
Please let this be my last case.
Okay.
Special Investigations, Sakuragi.
It's Fukazawa. Sakuragi, get here right away.
What?
- What is it? - We don't know
either but she
won't talk to anyone but Sakuragi.
Why did she give herself up?
