The video of the minister is a recording.
They left the GPS behind in the building.
There's no kidnappers or hostage here.
Kohata wouldn't show his own face.
But he’d want to keep tabs on you.
You take me to that cafe
and I can get Kohata for you.
Arrest her.
Sekine Motoko, correct?
Do we have any leads on where the minister is now?
We don't have anything.
It looks like Sekine Kunihiro isn't working with Sekine Motoko after all.
Then our only chance is to get Kohata.
Welcome, right this way.
That man?
I didn't get a close look at the face. But it looks like him.
Please get a picture of the man at the window.
Got it. Right away.
Please confirm.
Not him.
What's with the serious face?
I found bugs in some of our things.
What's this?
Oh, the stuff we ordered arrived.
But it already came.
What?
We increased our security so
they can't tap our wireless.
That must be why Kohata sent those bugs.
He may have heard the entire planning meeting.
What is he planning?
I'd like to go to the bathroom.
Sasaki-san, please check out the bathroom.
Got it.
- Are you almost here? - Yes.
You're really giving me a fake ID to escape, right?
Yes. Wait in the back.
Huh? In the back of the place?
Yes. I'll send a message.
Nothing strange in the bathroom.
But there's an exit nearby to the back.
Group C, keep watch on the back area.
Got it.
It's a good balance.
- I see. - Hiroko-chan,
- you went for it right? - I did.
- Your boyfriend was quiet? - He was.
Wow.
It can really bend.
Wow, both sides?
Tell Kohata.
I know everything about him.
If you come out from the back door, I can get you away from the police.
You say anything, I'll slice her throat.
I think we have a problem in the back.
- Can I get another coffee? - But, there's
still a lot left.
- Back up to the back entrance and hurry. - Understood.
- It's Kawashima. - Kawashima is here.
Run! Police are here. They’re looking for you.
What's this?
Shut up!
Hatakeyama Akiko escaped.
Group D, get there on the double!
- Hiroko-chan. - Yes?
- I'll leave this here. - Okay.
All units to Yoga's second district right away.
We have a call for more officers on the ground.

We have a report Kawashima is on Satsuki Street.
- He may be in Tomisaka. - Got it. We're on our way.
He can't have gotten that far.
Group B should go north along Hashimoto Street.
Group C, go ahead to Ohara.
Got it.
What about Hatakeyama Akiko?
- We haven't got her yet. - We have to hurry.
- Did you get away? - I feel sorry for Kawashima.
He didn't know anything when you called him, right?
What do you have that proves my identity?
Something in this world that suits you the least.
What a thing to say.
They can get DNA from it and figure out who you really are.
Do you remember what I said?
The kid? I don't.
I have the umbilical cord.
An interesting story. I'd like to hear more.
Give me an identity to escape with.
If anything feels strange I'm giving this to the police.
Third floor of the parking lot at the Claska building.
A man who looks like Kawashima has been seen. Second district in Chuo.
You have something for him? An umbilical cord.
I'm only giving it to him.
Come on. If I don't get it, I won't get a new identity.
This is no joke!
We're close.
By the garbage bag below the stairs.
You check inside.
Yes.
I found Hatakeyama Akiko. The Claska building parking lot, third floor.
I think Kawashima shot her. Send help right away.
Kawashima!
We have Kawashima.
Kohata was at the cafe.
- What? - He came to see me.
What do you mean?
I have something that can tell you who he is.
Sakuragi. How is Hatakeyama Akiko?
Hatakeyama Akiko...
What is it Sakuragi?
- Kurada? - Chief?
Follow my directions to the letter.
We're going to use Kohata's bugs to give him some false information.
We're being bugged. Discussion regarding the investigation is prohibited.
Hatakeyama Akiko escaped.
Really? That's not good.
Kawashima's shot was only a shallow wound.
She got away when Sakuragi saw her.
We're going to spread out all over the city.
Do you know where she was headed?
No, not at all.
I'll start looking at cameras in the area then.
We'll have to go through all of them one by one.
Lucky.
I was surprised at your suggestion.
But it looks like your idea
to spread disinformation about Hatakeyama Akiko
was the right one.
You haven't even changed yet.
I wanted to look into that key she had.
What was she trying to tell me?
I'm sorry.
All the victims who died by her hands. And Tsukamoto-san.
I wanted to arrest her alive for all of them.
Hatakeyama Akiko's death is the fault of the whole department.
And the responsibility lies with me.
Now we have to make sure there are no more victims.
We know Kohata is involved with this too.
We need to close this case.
Yes.
We got rid of all of Kohata's bugs.
Now we can finally talk for real.
Shiraishi-san, have you found anything out about the kidnapping?
Sekine Motoko admitted to her crimes but
she didn't have anything about where
the minister is now.
Sakuragi, did you figure out what Hatakeyama Akiko's key is for?
Yes. We looked at the shape and serial number and tracked it
to an underground coin locker in Miyasaka.
We're going to look at the locker soon.
We have images of all the people
from the cafe's security camera.
Excuse me, excuse me.
If what Hatakeyama Akiko said is true,
Kohata is one of these men.
Was there no one who acted suspiciously?
We looked through all of the footage but
nothing really stood out.
I think we have a problem in the back.
Can I get another coffee?
But there's still a lot left.
- It's cold. - Ah, okay.
- Sorry. - Sure.
He stopped the employee from
going to the back?
Probably.
He knew what was going to happen back there.
Let's take a look at all of the cameras around the cafe then.
Maybe if we can see where he went we can get some clues.
Okay.
Last year I got first prize at a hacking convention.
Then suddenly I got a message from that guy.
He had an interesting system and wanted me to use it.
So you used it to hack into the police
- database then? - I did.
It was like playing god with that system.
A mother's child raising handbook?
He told me to get the umbilical cord.
And she wasn't ready to give it up.
Umbilical cord? Why would he want that?
He just told me he wanted it.
After he left the cafe he went on Ogawa Street.
Where's the next security camera?
Front of the Motoyama Building and a convenience store 100 meters away.
Shiraishi-san, I've got things here. Please rest.
Boss, you haven't rested yourself
Saw that huh? I don't really feel like taking a break.
Me too.
It's Takigawa's last case.
And I want to get him quickly too, for Tsukamoto's sake.
If you try to hard, you'll put your back out.
Don't treat me like some old man.
Don't fall apart you two. It would be a bother to me.
Oh man.
Did you find something?
This is the last camera to get footage of Kohata.
After that he avoided coming in contact with cameras.
All we have linking him to a crime is
what Hatakeyama Akiko said.
So that's why he's playing around with us.
Showing his face like that.
What did you get from the coin locker?
Hatakeyama Akiko had a child raising handbook.
We don't know the father and the child was stillborn.
Perhaps the link to Kohata she said is
with the child.
We're man and woman.
We had a thing once.
The father is probably Kohata.
Hatakeyama Akiko was going to use the child as bait
to get a new identity from Kohata.
And then use it to escape as well.
So Kohata got Kawashima to go after the umbilical cord
as a way to confirm information about the child.
That's when Kawashima fought with her and killed her.
She hid the fact that the child
was stillborn in that coin locker too then.
There's new video of the minister.
He's being held in a new location.
There's some machine in the background there.
Looks like it was updated not too long ago.
There may be a log. Look into it right away.
What is this? There's nothing about the
dangers of the gas plant
- in the minister's computer. - Look some more!
Do you think he's telling the truth?
He gave us the data already!
The plant is full of volatile gas.
Of course it's harmful!
But the minister's data shows the gas has no effect on the human body.
Anyway, if we just broadcast his confession,
they'll have to stop the gas plant. That's enough, right?
I'll get in touch with him. He'll help us out.
Virus? What is this?
That machine in the back was used as a dryer.
This machine is used at food production factories and sewing plants.
I got the log!
That's the first time he got something before you.
Not good, he's getting faster than me.
The signal originated from Fujimi in Itabashi.
We have the machine's maker.
Okay, then let's get searching at these factories.
Got it.
Confirm the minister is there then rush in at once.
Just one place? That's the only place that could have him?
You brat. You don't trust my research?
It could be a trap.
How was it so easy to pinpoint just this one place?
It is strange. The last search for a place
took us hours.
Is this Kohata's plan?
Hmm? The video is stopped.
We have the criminal group. But no sign of the minister.
Maybe they moved him again.
Looks a little strange. There may be a casualty.
We'll get the truth after we arrest them. Go ahead.
Get back!
You were led to us?
That's right. A man named Kohata Yuichi
gave you data linking the gas plant
with lung disease and made you
commit the kidnapping.
You think we'd believe such a stupid story?
Where's the minister now?
We don't know. Some foreigners with guns took him.
Then Kohata's real objective
was to give the minister to those men.
Why would he use us for that?
We're looking for Kohata now.
- Won't you help us find him? - We can't.
We don't know anything about him.
He infected our computers with a virus.
We lost everything.
If you're telling the truth,
then Kohata has some proof about how dangerous the gas plant is.
If you can spread that information before the summit starts,
then we'll give up quietly.
If you can't...
If we can't?
We'll sacrifice our lives to expose the danger of that plant!
It looks like Kohata's crime has gotten much worse.
This was all his plan.
The only one who knew what group
took the minister was Kohata.
Kohata holds the key to everything.
We only have thirty hours until the summit begins.
The only clue we have for Kohata is a picture of his face.
Is there any way to find him?
Maybe we can use the child?
There's a large chance he doesn't know
that the child was stillborn.
If we can convince him the child is alive
that may be enough to lure him out.
How will you make him believe that?
We'll pretend to be Hatakeyama Akiko.
If we can trick him into thinking
Hatakeyama Akiko is still alive, we can get his interest.
Can you really do it?
I agree with Sakuragi's idea.
Having studied Kohata's personality
I know he'll have a great desire to find out more.
And if it concerns him he'll want it that much more.
He'll have to check it out for himself.
I think it's worth a try.
What do you think Chief?
Sakuragi. You pretend to be Hatakeyama Akiko and go get Kohata.
You're the most knowledgeable
here about Hatakeyama Akiko.
Understood.
You'll use Hatakeyama Akiko's phone to
send Kohata a message.
Here we go.
How about we meet again? You want to see your child, right? Hatakeyama Akiko.
Where's the kid?
He's interested.
Somewhere in the city. If you want more, let me know when. If it's you, you know what I want, right?
Where we used to do our business.
You know where that is, right?
Testing us.
Did she ever talk about such a place?
I don't think so. How are you going to answer?
All you did was use me. There's no way I'd remember that.
No reply. I guess he figured it out.
Sorry. I guess it wasn't that easy.
It's here.
Let's meet at 12 tomorrow. Parthenon Square.
Looking forward to it.
We got him.
The summit starts in six hours. We have only one
chance to arrest Kohata before it starts.
Once we confirm it's him, we will arrest him.
Kohata has been very careful and thoughtful in planning out these crimes.
Even the smallest mistake could cost us.
Sharpen your senses and do your best.
Yes.
- Hello. - Hello.
- It's hot today too. - Yeah, it is.
Sakuragi, I'm leaving the rest to you.
What?
After I leave.
You'll have to lead the team.
Me doing that?
A message from Kohata.
I'm almost there. Where are you?
I'm replying.
When you get there, leave the promised items under the statue of goddess.
Once I confirm it, I’ll give you the information.
He replied.
"Got it."
A man wearing a mask coming from the north.
What's this?
I see one from the west too.
The east also.
What's going on?
But that mask is pretty mean I think.
That's what those terrorists who went after Minister Shibasaki wore two years ago.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
What's this?
Yesterday this appeared. It's been big news all over the internet.
To support those who kidnapped the minister.
Thank you.
Same time as the meeting? It's Kohata.
He did this so he could hide himself.
Someone wearing a mask...
Kohata...
We lost the signal. It's Kohata.
Everyone meet at the Goddess Statue.
- Isomura. - Kohata is probably here.
Let's go.
Kohata.
I put your new ID under the statue of goddess. Where are you?
Let's talk on the phone.
Where’s the information you have for me?
Hello?
So you are the police.
The girl coming here.
Takigawa-san.
Takigawa-san? Takigawa-san.
If you make a scene, he'll get away. Go.
- But... - Go get him!
Go get her!
- Where is he going? - Let's get him!
Hot hot...
- Here you go. - Thanks.
Can you hear me? We saw Kohata.
- Sakuragi. - Kohata left on Kotsuka
and is heading towards Sannou.
Establish a 500 meter radius and get everyone over there.
Tell us where to go. We'll follow your lead.
Got it. Group A head towards Sannou on Ishizawa Street.
Group B use Kotsuka Street.
Group C head to the Ichinosawa intersection.
Got it.
I want teams at bus, train and taxi stops in a
one kilometer radius around Parthenon Square.
- Got it. - We'll look too.
Yes.
Sakuragi, we're moving too. Where should we go?
The intersection in Kawahara's second district.
Got it.
Over here too.
I saw Kohata on a camera at Takahata's second district intersection.
Got it. Group B on alert at the Kasuya Bridge intersection.
Group C, head towards the Sumiyoshi building.
Got it.
We saw Kohata.
Heading towards the Kasuya Bridge intersection.
Got it. Group B, Kohata is heading your way.
Got it.
We saw Kohata.
Kohata!
I saw Kohata.
Ah, my legs are hurting now.
We're with the Metropolitan Police.
Kohata Yuichi, right? We'd like to talk with you.
The minister, right? He's at the lumberyard at the Yayoi warehouse.
Hurry up. He might still be alive.
Send a team out there right away.
Got it.
You got me.
Will you come with me?
Takigawa-san is fine.
There's no proof that the gas plant is dangerous?
Yes. The data Kohata gave you was just one part of a study.
But there's no link between the volatile gas and lung
disease at all.
However, they don't deny there's a link either.
Kohata confessed too.
And we found the minister.
He really believes there's no harm
in the gas plant.
Then what did we do all this for?
Brother?
It's me. Motoko.
When they found the minister he said something.
He'll look into the gas plant again.
And make sure to look into this further.
So please.
Let's end this. Brother.
Why did you start trouble with the police?
It seems all traces of your involvement in these crimes has disappeared.
I was having fun before but then I went back to my usual life.
I got bored.
If you just mess around with data a bit,
you can do whatever you like with peoples' hearts.
That was your fatal mistake.
No no, I'm actually thankful to the police.
It was fun.
And your lie was excellent.
The one where you said my kid was alive.
I fell for it.
99% of time I wouldn't believe such a stupid lie.
Then why did you come out?
Well, I was interested.
It was a 1% chance.
I just wanted to see my child.
I’ll be out before long.
I didn't kill anybody. I didn't take anything from anybody.
Those crimes they committed weren't my fault.
They were all just weak.
If another one of your little moves
causes another crime to happen, we will find it and get you.
I won't allow any more victims because
of your crimes.
Look forward to it.
This guy is terrible.
He's still got an attitude about him.
Damn it.
As long as our society is dependent on information like this
Kohata will be able to do this all over again.
He'll use whatever he can
to find the weak points in our department.
We won't be able to close the cases.
This is just the beginning.
It's a little sad to see one of us go.
Takigawa didn't say much, but he definitely left an impact.
Maybe I'll go out and
- visit him sometime soon. - Oh, I'll come too.
Maybe I should go visit Tsukamoto's grave.
Let him know we closed the case.
Yeah.
My wife was really surprised to hear you were coming so suddenly.
We haven't finished moving in yet.
Sorry, I just ended up with this time off.
But she was happy.
First time someone from work has come to hang out with me.
This is a really nice place.
They say if you relax, it's good for the eyes.
Takigawa-san, are you really not sad about leaving?
Not at all.
What? Is there something on my face?
No. I just wanted to make sure you were telling the truth.
You've been a very hard person to read.
So now you don't trust people?
I think I'm just becoming like you.
To be honest, I do miss it every now and then.
It was an amazing team.
Yes it was.
This is for everyone. Please give it to them.
Our neighbors have a garden and gave us some vegetables.
Everyone will be happy.
It's good for your brain and memory.
There's still time. I can tell you all about how it works.
Thank you very much.
And then it got worse!
I thought we were going back but then he talked about the vegetables for two hours.
Haha. But he sounds like he's doing well.
To be honest, I had my doubts when the walking lizard
and the turtle first met.
But it was right to let Takigawa work with you.
You're a bit like him now.
You're no rookie anymore.
I don't know when we'll have another
tricky criminal appear.
But we'll do what we can to stop them.
Yes. I'll keep on getting better.
If I can help one person or many.
Well, work hard today Rookie.
Ah, there's one more thing I have for you.
Yes?
I've been assigned to here from our Third Investigations group.
- I'm Yamauchi Toru. - I'm Sakuragi. I'll be in charge of you.
Hello. I look forward to working with you.
She may be younger than you, but she's your superior.
It may be hard at first, but please don't worry.
Let me explain to you about
- our equipment. - Yes.
Haha, Sakuragi is working hard.
This is the first person working for her.
I hope she lives up to the Chief's appointment then.
What is it Ino-san?
It's fine. Sakuragi-chan is working with a cute boy.
Okay? In the field you'll need to blend in
but also keep track of everyone that you see.
Man, she has turned into Takigawa.
- Anyone can change then. - Sakuragi-san's so cool.
Ah, please stop taking notes.
- You should take notes with your memory. - With my memory?
You can't take your eyes off the criminal when you're chasing them, right?
What are you all doing?
This new guy reminds me of someone else back then.
I'm trying to be serious here.
Ah.
Ah, sorry.
Gather around. We have a case.
Yes.
