- What is it? - We don't
understand either. But,
she won't talk with anyone but Sakuragi.
I have nothing to talk to you about.
We are going to arrest and prosecute you.
You're behind the Hachioji murder. The OBGYN murder arson.
The murder of a policeman. And then death of Araki Takanori.
I didn't do it.
Even if I was at Hachioji or the OBGYN,
you have no proof. And about that policeman murder...
I saw you at the murder scene.
Maybe you were mistaken?
She has no guilt over her crimes.
Hatakeyama Akiko is the name of a dead woman anyway.
We have to figure out who she is before we build a case.
A person who doesn't exist in this world.
Is she planning to use that against us? Damn it.
She knows she can’t go on evading the issue.
She has a purpose for turning herself in.
Not just Tsukamoto-san's death.
You’re also suspected of being the mastermind
behind various crimes over the last couple months.
And you're a suspect in the kidnapping of Foreign Minister Shibasaki...
I'll test you. Then, we'll talk.
- How many have you killed... - You get it right,
I'll give you a hint about the minister's kidnapping.
Look into Kawashima Tomohiro, graduate student at
Tokyo Science and Tech, Data Processing Department.
Also, thoroughly read the notebook I had with me.
Then I’ll give you the question.
Thanks for waiting.
Ah, so you're dating now?
- That's good. - Thanks.
It's thanks to your advice.
I'll treat you next time as thanks.
It's fine. Don't worry about it.
- Maybe another cup? - Okay.
Kawashima-kun, come on.
Sorry.
That guy, Araki?
I’m not contacting you anymore.
But what if they catch me?
If they do, so what?
You don't know anything about me, right?
Give me another chance.
Hatakeyama Akiko said something before she ran to the police.
Tell Kohata.
I know everything about him.
I got it. I'll be in touch.
The minister is being held in the same place as your daughter.
Mayu-chan, could you take a look?
It's not your fault.
We can take it slow, if it helps to remember.
It'll be okay. We will save your father.
The man some have called the next prime minister, Foreign Minister Shibasaki has been kidnapped.
The criminal group responsible has been uploading live images on the internet,
spreading them all over the world.
At 10:00 am on the opening day of the
World Energy Summit scheduled to be held in 4 days,
we want to bring the crimes of Foreign Minister Junichi Shibasaki
and the others involved into the open.
The images are being streamed on video sites
viewable worldwide, causing...
What do they mean crimes committed by
Foreign Minister Shibasaki?
At the summit, he was going to reveal
reveal his plans for his life work, the practical application of lysine gas plant.
When they have the attention of the whole world by blocking the summit,
they’re going to make the minister himself say something about it.
There was talk about those terrorists for oil rights.
And then it linked up exactly with what that
journalist Sekine was saying.
We've been talking to our tech group
trying to see if we can find who has been uploading the video.
- There's nothing yet. - No domestic terrorist
groups that our public safety teams are
aware of have made a move yet either.
There's a chance that the kidnappers
have been putting on act up to now.
They have the ransom money but they still
have the minister. They don't intend to negotiate.
- Stalemate.N- We found out who
Hatakeyama Akiko's lead, Kawashima Tomohiro is.
- He really exists? - Like she said,
he was a graduate student at Tokyo Science and Tech's Data Processing Department.
He had excellent grades and
is very knowledgeable about computers.
He disappeared the same time Hatakeyama Akiko
turned herself in.
We compared his photo against footage
from places where Hatakeyama Akiko was seen.
Surprisingly, he was at Araki's murder scene.
Hatakeyama Akiko noticed someone then and ran away.
So it was Kawashima? Why would she be chased after though?
Sakuragi. Did you get anything from Hatakeyama Akiko's notebook?
Ah, yes.
She wrote down names of all those involved in the crimes.
I think she looked into each of them.
She didn't have a laptop with her.
We don't know if she has hacking skills.
Based on profiling,
the mastermind and Hatakeyama Akiko’s criminal profiles don’t match.
Maybe she had us figure that out for ourselves
to make us realize.
Here's my question.
Am I the person behind all the crimes of the
last few months like you thought?
It's someone else. There's a high chance.
Kohata Yuichi.
He's the one behind this kidnapping too.
- He took everything from me. - Everything?
My family register. Residency certificate. Driver's license. Bank account. Credit cards.
Everything that’s controlled by data.
I'm a victim.
I've been looking for Kohata to
get back what was stolen from me.
Through the people he's been manipulating.
What about Kawashima?
Kohata is using him.
Why do you think I turned myself in?
Kawashima was after you.
He was going to kill you?
The safest place is with the police, right?
She's here because she knows we can't prove anything.
The risk is so high though.
- She'll be put to death if we do convict. - For sure.
She probably has some other plan in mind.
What could it be?
What kind of person is Kohata?
I could talk forever.
I'm the only one who really knows who he is.
Only one?
I can help you arrest Kohata.
Just have the police follow my instructions.
She wants to use us too.
I know you all need to get him.
Our goals are the same.
So let's call us...
Friends.
- Friends? - Maybe
she turned herself in prepared to take Kohata down with her.
If you don't get him, you won't ever close your crimes.
You won't save Minister Shibasaki.
What will you do?
She's messing with us.
She says she's the only one who knows Kohata,
- but we don’t know if that’s true. - But
we don't know where that Kawashima is either.
No leads on the kidnapping as well.
Let's use Hatakeyama Akiko to draw them in.
I'll get the information we need.
I agree with her.
We need to close these cases fast.
We need her to figure out who
is really behind all of this.
I want to get her real name and history too.
To investigate the crimes committed by her.
If we want to save the minister,
we do have to use her.
There's a chance that the secretary
Sekine Motoko got back in touch with her brother.
Keep watching her and
get Hatakeyama Akiko's help.
We have 4 days until the summit.
Do anything you can to save the minister and arrest who is really behind this.
Yes.

It was a good decision on your part to let me see all the investigation files.
Just to make sure,
we will look into any crimes you have committed.
Think about arresting Kohata first.
You're running out of time.
It doesn't sound like she's playing around anymore.
She's a tough one to figure out.
Takamine, any signs she's lying?
Nothing at all.
So she's serious about arresting Kohata?
I want to know how you're related to Kohata.
He used me too, once.
How are you the only one who know who he really is?
We're man and woman.
We had a thing once.
But he did it just to get my trust.
Kohata Yuichi was involved with drugs, stealing cars,
even selling babies on the black market.
And he profited from all of it.
Then he started to change information.
If you see the big picture, you can make a big change.
That's what I learned from that person.
I'd call him a data terrorist.
He fell under the spell of changing the world
by controlling information.
After reading your data, I reaffirmed that it's him.
Kohata’s methods are consistent.
Who put Fukui in touch with the criminals?
There are third parties he passes the data onto...
They went into debt because their savings suddenly went to zero.
He makes paths for the crimes to happen.
He's great at using people's weaknesses.
So he's done the same things for this kidnapping too then.
He probably gave the data off to some criminal group.
Then they went ahead and kidnapped him.
What did Minister Shibasaki do?
The lycine gas plant.
Kohata got a hold of something on the plant.
If we find out what data he gave
we'll know what the criminal group is after.
The lycine gas plant?
There's probably some group out there that
thinks what Shibasaki is doing is wrong.
The lycine gas plant is in Sekine Kunihiro
and Motoko's hometown.
That might have something to do with her motive for
betraying the minister and lending a hand in her brother’s crime.
Have you got Kawashima yet?
I'm sure that Kohata has been in touch with him in some form.
Does Kohata plan all these crimes for the money?
If it was that simple, I could've got him myself.
You kill one, you're a murderer. Kill a million, you're a hero.
That's from Chaplin's movie, Monsieur Verdoux.
Making things happen from behind the scenes.
And then seeing everything go crazy, that's Kohata's hobby.
I see. Got it. There was definitely
opposition to Minister Shibasaki's lycine gas plant.
The daughter saw it herself.
The plant? That's not a problem.
They want to go to court, let them.
No one will believe them.
Mom? Yeah.
I thought I would go there today.
Just want to talk.
She's going to meet her brother somewhere.
We'll follow.
Ah, hello Terasaki-san.
They're in season now.
Okay, I'll take one.
Thank you.
Hmm?
Oh, this month I became the person in charge of the fish section.
- Congrats. - But to be honest...
Between us, things are bad with management.
It seems like they're being pushed out.
When people get used to everything going their way,
they become lazy and indifferent.
What?
So, isn't life more interesting when you have obstacles to deal with?
Haha.
Yes?
Ah, you're early.
- How are you today? - I'm fine.
Oh really? I brought those pears you like.
Ah thanks. Hey, Motoko.
Is it okay for you to be here now?
Aren't things a little tough now?
Video and voice are good.
Motoko-san's mother is in the hospital, huh?
I think she's been there for awhile.
On our way here, we gathered some information
on the lycine gas plant from the local people, but
we couldn't find a person who had any complaints.
Yeah, we just found that they revere Minister Shibasaki as a hero.
They're all really worried about his kidnapping.
A prime minister candidate from their area.
And he built the plant that’s the source of energy for the next generation there.
But according to Hatakeyama Akiko, there's something behind all this.
Quit?
I figured I would come back here and get married or something.
This isn't like you to say that
especially while the minister has been kidnapped.
You can't really be taking seriously
that stuff that Kunihiro said, right?
The mother knows something.
- I'll be right back. - Okay.
Sekine Motoko left the room.
Brother?
Why Minister Shibasaki?
It's Sekine Kunihiro.
This is enough.
You already got what you needed for everyone's doctor bills, right?
Doctor bills?
Evidence?
I see all my talk is useless.
I'm staying here tonight.
I'll be back in Tokyo tomorrow.
Okay, until then.
Five years ago we helped with Minister Shibasaki's election campaign.
We were with Motoko-san back then.
We’re reporters now.
I see. But what do you want with me?
I'm sure you know that the minister has
been kidnapped.
We're looking into any problems with
the lycine gas plant.
Well, there has been rumors...
But I think it's just nonsense.
Just to make sure, could you tell us?
In order to help the minister,
we have to sort through all the bad information
so we can pass it on to the police.
In this city, it's not just me, but many people
have interstitial lung disease.
About a month ago, someone notified my son
out of the blue that the lycine gas plant was releasing
some toxic substance and
that’s the cause of the illness.
I heard that families of patients with interstitial lung disease
and bereaved families got the same notice.
I’m sure it’s just a malicious prank.
Got what you needed, right?
There's a rumor that the lycine gas plant is
responsible for lung disease.
Looking into it, there's an increase in deaths
from that illness in the city where the plant was built.
A fact that hasn’t been publicized yet.
The world is interested in this new energy source.
Flip it over, and it has problems.
Kohata found that out and egged them on.
He used people's drive for revenge to pave the path
for the crime, and got the minister kidnapped.
Turning the victim into the criminal.
I see you're beginning to understand Kohata.
Look into the victimized families
and see how many have lost parents or children.
The summit is looking forward to this new energy.
Even if we prosecute, it'll get silenced.
One month ago someone protested against the plant in the minister's hometown.
Sekine is a journalist. But perhaps his words were silenced.
So the setup is to make the kidnap happen to get a huge amount of money
from a terrorist group protecting oil rights?
This is Sakuragi.
Sekine Motoko is back in the office.
She's taking Shibasaki's computer.
I think her brother is giving instructions.
There's probably some proof of
the bad side of this lycine gas plant.
There's a high chance she's meeting her brother to hand it off. Meet up with them.
Chance to figure out where the minister's being held.
I wouldn’t count on that.
Kohata is behind all of this.
Don't forget that he can manipulate data
any way he likes.
She put something in the bag.
Takigawa-san.
Suspicious person on the bike. Black visor.
White shirt, beige pants.
Got it.
- Brother? - Give it to me. Hurry!
We're following him. Will see if he leads us to the minister.
Group B, got it.
We're on the old waterfront street.
Intersection 50 meters ahead of you. Keep your speed and go through.
This is Group A. We're in South Minato, second district. The light in front of
- us suddenly changed and we lost him. - The light?
Group B, go around this intersection and take a different route to follow him.
- Got it. - Could he
have gotten into the traffic light system too?
One car left on the chase.
Take the next right.
Then 30 meters later, take a left.
Got it.
Group B here. We're on the sea front street
and the light changed suddenly in front of us too. We lost him.
Did he get into the N system?
He's playing everything perfectly to get him away.
This is Fukazawa.
As long as we can't catch him, we can't close these cases.
Just like Hatakeyama Akiko said.
Last night at this police station,
all of the system databases suddenly went down...
Hello. I'm Nakata with the cyber warfare division.
Ah, okay.
It seems our system was penetrated.
We can't do anything.
Got it. I'll check it out.
This way.
Whenever you're finished, we'll be downstairs.
Thank you.
Special Crime Investigation Division
I told you he could mess around with data.
I picked the wrong people to help me.
You said to look into Kawashima.
Did you get him?
We received a report he was at a cafe in Yoga.
We looked at that lead throughly.
Cameras from the area showed that Kawashima was there.
Kohata wouldn't show his own face.
But he’d want to keep tabs on you.
Kohata would make you come close to him
and talk to you while you’re unaware you’re being observed.
For example, he'll call from the same place.
The cafe Kawashima was in, Kohata was there too?
So Kohata is on camera too?
Do you know why I said I'll only talk to you?
I hate him. I need to get him myself.
If I can't have that, I want to see it happen in front of me.
You can understand that feeling, right?
You take me to that cafe and I can get Kohata for you.
I'll take a look at the video.
Mayu-chan, are you sure?
If it's too hard, you don't have to.
The smell.
Smell?
- Thanks. - What floor?
Third floor please.
ESNC? Lame.
Mayu-chan picking up
on the smell of chemicals and the sound of boats
makes it clear that he's being held in a
ruined building near a chemical plant.
We’ll have to go through each one.
And Hatakeyama Akiko had a suggestion.
Kohata used to
plan out his schemes at a cafe he liked to go to.
A cafe Kohata goes to a lot?
You can ambush and arrest him there.
She wants to come along to make sure things go right?
She's the only one who knows what Kohata looks like.
There's probably some other plan in place.
I know Hatakeyama Akiko isn't to be trusted but she's been right on everything so far.
But we don’t have enough conclusive evidence to make a move right now.
All right!
That face, did you figure it out?
24 hours of doing the same thing, we finally got the tail.
After going through loads of foreign servers
we found a data log left behind.
When we found it, it almost disappeared instantly.
But the source was based in Yoga.
The cafe where Kawashima was seen was in Yoga.
If we go with what Hatakeyama Akiko is saying
we can ambush him at that cafe and arrest Kohata!
As long as he’s pulling the strings in the background
we won’t be able to capture the kidnappers.
Let's be very careful.
We'll go after Kohata and figure out this kidnapping tomorrow.
We'll need to get all our investigators on the same page.
Yes.
Everyone, can I have a moment?
The slightest mistake will be fatal in this investigation.
I may hinder the investigation.
There's something I'd like all of you to know.
Why so serious all of a sudden?
You haven't held us back at all...
I have an eye disease.
It's narrowing my field of vision.
It's surprised me how fast it has progressed.
According to my doctor, there's a chance I
could lose my eyesight completely.
To be a member of this team you need to
be able to remember everything you see.
If I can't do that, then I have to quit.
This is my last case.
I'll do my very best.
When the time comes, please back me up.
If my eyes fail me, I need you to pick up the slack.
I'll believe whatever you see.
Yes.
Three months ago, Takigawa drank this brown rice juice.
He was saying it helps with eye disease.
You knew about this, didn't you?
I was the one who stopped him from quitting the first time.
His talent is what made him stand out as a policeman.
If he was going to quit, I asked him to train a successor.
He agreed with that and took you under his wing.
There’s no way I can be like Takigawa-san.
But I can get close if I don’t stand still.
Believing that, I’ll keep on moving forward.
I see.
This is his last case.
I'll do my absolute best too.
Good morning.
Isomura-san, did another girl turn you down?
No!
It's for this reason
I'm glad we know about Takigawa's illness.
Gather up everyone. We're going to go over the operation plans one more time.
Sakuragi and Takigawa, you're in group A.
You take Hatakeyama Akiko and go after Kohata.
Have Hatakeyama Akiko draw up a facial composite and
send detectives to the Yoga area where the unauthorized accesses originated.
At the same time, others will stand by with Hatakeyama Akiko
at the café where Kawashima was reportedly seen.
We're going to surround the area with our men.
- Okay. - We're setting up
Yoga with cameras to watch the area.
In case there's a spot we haven't covered,
- be careful. - Okay.
Shiraishi, Isomura and group B
we want you to keep looking for where the minister is.
- Yes. - Two days until the summit.
We need our team at our absolute best for this big case.
Yes.
Group A is ready.
We're continuing to look for the kidnappers.
- Got it. - We're finished with the Sannai Building.
Finished at the South Kumo building.
Sekine Motoko is on the move. She's looking at her screen
while she's walking.
- It's a GPS. - Like Sakuragi said.
She put something in her bag.
She might have placed a small GPS locator on the
laptop she gave to her brother.
She knows her brother won't stop no matter what she says.
So she's going to try and find the minister on her own.
She wants to keep him away from
the police and save the minister herself.
We got the GPS signal. Shibaura fifth district.
There's one of the targeted buildings in the area.
Group B, get to that building in Shibaura right away.
There's a high chance that's where the minister is.
Got it.
I laid a trap for you.
Did you think there was a chance I'd do that?
Of course.
But there's no way you can escape from us here, Ueno-san.
Ueno Mariko. 43 years old. From Innoshima.
You left for Osaka at 18 and went to nursing school.
The family register shows
you died 18 years ago, when you were working at Osaka Nanba Central Hospital.
- What's this now? - I know your face.
I looked at nursing school graduation albums country wide around that time.
All of them?
Don't underestimate the police.
At Osaka Nanba Central Hospital,
there was an infant death
and Ueno Mariko faced a law suit to take responsibility.
From a medical point of view,
there was nothing wrong with her treatment.
But the parents of the dead infant took their anger out on the nurse.
I was going out with the hospital director's son.
But he wouldn't stand up for me and I had to take all the responsibility.
That's when I met Kohata.
I was at my absolute worst and his words got to me.
- This is a strange feeling. - Hmm?
18 years since someone called me by my real name.
I know everything about you.
When we get Kohata, Ueno Mariko will pay for your crimes.
- Hmm? - What is it?
I think I saw him move like that before.
Move like that before?
We caught up with Sekine Motoko.
Group B, the video of the minister is a recording.
They're replaying a video from four hours ago.
They left the GPS behind in the building.
There's no kidnappers or hostage here.
Why did they replay the video?
That's because they found Sekine Motoko's GPS.
They got some information somehow.
It doesn’t look like the wireless dedicated to Special Investigations has been intercepted either.
What's this?
Those things we ordered are in.
But they already came in.
What?
Welcome.
- Ah Tokita-san, hello. - Hello.
- Boyfriend? - Boyfriend.
And girlfriend.
- Coffee. - Sure.
