A mystery drug even the underground bunch don't know about.
-Terrorism. -To catch the culprit of this murder,
we gotta follow the angle of drugs too is all I'm sayin'.
The three victims may have been
in contact with a common individual in the game world.
They were both high school girls.
But the other is different. It's a man.
His handle name is Sid.
He's a very influential person with extensive connections in the political circle.
"It was a mistake" ain't gonna cut it.
Is your father home?
My father had the night shift last night. He should be home any minute.
We'll have to reconsider the investigation strategy from the fundamentals.
But Shimosaka was in contact with all three victims.
About that...He was
in Germany for one week, we just found out. Shimosaka Yuichiro
isn't Sid.
-Shima. -Yes.
We confirmed that 2 weeks ago, Shimosaka was overseas
and could not have accessed Gachagee.
It means during this time frame, the "Sid"
on the communication history is not him. Also,
as he testified himself, there were no records whatsoever in
Shimosaka Yuichiro's cell phone or PC that he accessed Gachagee.
Then why does Gachagee
have an account registered with Shimosaka's credit card?
According to the operating company,
someone may have registered fraudulently
using a stolen credit card number.
Registered fraudulently...
Yes. Someone the stole credit card information from Shimosaka
and used that to register in Gachagee.
In other words,
this individual called Sid who made contact with the three victims
is someone else who stole the credit card information from Shimosaka.
-Is that what you're saying? -We believe that possibility
is very high. In addition, no ties have been found yet
between Shimosaka Yuichiro and Hakuro-kai, who was selling zebra.
Looks like Shimosaka is innocent.
Earlier, we got an irate phone call from
Shimosaka Yuichiro claiming that he was
showered with accusations as if he was the culprit.
I’ve been told that the prime minister personally called
Superintendent General, bypassing the First Division, with words of reprimand.
Looks like
you did quite a job with your interrogation, huh? Missy.
I bet it felt good.
What terrorism.
Were you feeling pressed? To make a name for yourself?
I'm deeply sorry. It's all my...
Get your evidence straight first! You dumbass!
I take full responsibility.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. You wanna do drugs? Drugs.
What~? But there's poisoned stuff lately. Isn't it dangerous?
It ain't dangerous. I swear, it ain't.
Just between you and me,
Hakuro-kai's the one who's selling zebra.
-No way. That's a lie. -I ain't lying.
Stay away from that stuff.
Excuse me, excuse me.
Excuse me.
You're Katagiri's punk, aren't you?
-You must know about zebra, huh? -I don't...
Hey.
I don't know. Let go. I don't know.
Hey, he's said "Hakuro-kai's scattering zebra."
What's going on, huh?
Hey, gather up the men.
Did you come to laugh at your stupid junior?
I just came to toot the old senior's horn.
I'm happy for you. The command of the task force is all yours now.
Yeah, you messed up and helped me out.
Shima Shunin, you knew that zebra was going around in Roppongi
even before we initiated the voluntary questioning, didn't you?
What if I did?
The fact that you misidentified is your responsibility.
Whether I show my cards or not is my choice. Right?
I'm sorry. You're absolutely right.
Roppongi Precinct is snooping around about zebra.
-Roppongi Precinct? -Boy, you're slow.
That's where the task force was set up when a member of Hakuro-kai was stabbed.
-Gantetsu. -He's not doing it alone.
Seeing that the Precinct's moving, it means they're onto something.
Shima Shunin, why did you come here?
There's only a limited number of places you can go
when you want to be alone.
I know them much better than you.
You're tooting it. The old senior's horn.
Hey, hand me all the information you collected on your side.
Too sweet. Picked the wrong one.
-Kikuta. -Yes.
Revisit the victims' co-workers and friends one more time.
-Alright. -Tamotsu-san...
I'll pursue Shimosaka Yuichiro's stolen credit card data.
Nori and Kouhei's team, help him out too.
Thanks.
Hayama. This is where it starts.
-This is Asakura. -Hakuro-kai
-should start making a move now. -Got it.
Listen. The time they make a move on Katagiri-gumi
is our last chance to seize zebra.
-You got that? -Got it.
The other task force is starting to move. Don't let them beat us to it.
-Yes. -Asakura,
-after this case is settled... -Oh, there's some movement. Later.
Asakura.
Katsumata Shunin, what's the meaning of this!
Well, well, you're dressed rather conservatively for Roppongi.
Just because you're ex-Public Safety, don't go sneaking around
to get info from Public Safety and mess things up for us.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
You're after zebra, aren't you?
What we're after is just the murder.
Hand over all the information you're keeping to yourself. Right now.
Hey, hey. Ah~ You're the one who was
brandishing a suspect, nabbed him, and drew a blank.
Don't take out your anger on us.
Move.
-Yes, Himekawa. -Shunin.
We have a fourth victim.
Where?
An apartment in the jurisdiction of Ebisu Precinct.
What's more, this time it was still there. Zebra.
I'll be right there.
Asakura!
-Hey. -Yes.
Get ready for a raid. The target is Katagiri-gumi. Gather everyone up.
That's Katagiri-gumi's business office.
Hey, hey! You can't park your car there!
Hey!
Contact Katsumata-san. I'll go take a look.
Asakura-san!
What you want? Move!
Police. Stop! Hey, stop!
The deceased is Hasunuma Kotaro, 27 years old. Again,
the cause of death appears to be fulminant hepatitis.
So this is it.
-Shunin. -Look. This is zebra.
Police Sergeant Asakura Keigo with Gantetsu's team...
-you know him, right? -Yeah, what about him?
He was killed on the job a short while ago.
You're kidding.
One associate member each from Hakuro-kai and Katagiri-gumi turned themselves in.
Doesn't look like anyone from Gantetsu's team is here.
-Your wife? -Yes.
Our child's running a fever. I was a little concerned.
-Where's Daddy? Where's Daddy? -Shh. Be quiet.
-Where's Daddy? -Be quiet.
Where's Daddy?
Be quiet. Please...
Shunin.
Katsumata Shunin's bringing in the culprit of our case.
-What's going on? -While we were investigating
the murder of a Roppongi crime syndicate's associate member,
we ended up with the culprit behind zebra.
-The suspect. -The suspect is
the head of Katagiri-gumi, Katagiri Naoya.
-Scenario. -The scenario is,
Katagiri-gumi, who’s been repeatedly involved in conflicts in Roppongi,
in order to raise havoc in their rival Hakuro-kai’s territory,
disseminated zebra.
Just so you know, this is merely a case of gang war.
It's not pharmaterrorism, as the delusional broad insists.
-Verification? -A researcher at
Kohoku Pharmaceutical College, School of Pharmacy provided
the drug that triggers fulminant hepatitis, acetaminophen,
to Katagiri-gumi. He 'fessed up.
Oh, and one more thing.
Members of Katagiri-gumi also admitted to that.
Two of them. Hey, go on.
What's this?
What kind of brute force are you using to investigate.
You think you can get away with this?
It's because you guys were dragging your feet!
Don't take it out on me just because I took the feather from your cap.
Oh, and here's
the zebra we seized from Katagiri-gumi's office.
Katsumata! Were you out there making a name for yourself instead of attending your guy's funeral!
You need to replenish me with new bullets.
Can't even get into gunfights.
But that Gantetsu, he's the worst bastard, isn't he?
His own subordinate is dead, but he doesn't even give a damn.
Anyway, this task force will be dissolved,
perhaps as soon as tomorrow.
But it sounds like Katagiri Naoya didn't confess yet
at today's interrogation.
Even though zebra was found in his own office?
Yes. He’s saying he was just trying to raise havoc
in Hakuro-kai's territory by copying zebra after he found out about it.
That he has nothing to do with our victims.
What the hell is that gibberish. Huh?
-Reiko-chan. Shunin. -Huh?
-"Huh"? -Is something the matter?
Something doesn't feel right.
The first three who died all
had contact in Gachagee with this guy called Sid
who was using Shimosaka’s card. Was that just a coincidence?
It bothered me too, so checked it out.
Hasunuma Kotaro, the fourth victim,
-was also a member of Gachagee. -Really?
There's no mistake. Kikuta and Hayama were with me too.
Oh, and this is information Hayama picked up, but
a rumor's going around in Gachagee that
there's a guy who makes fake credit cards upon request.
I heard about that too.
Something about clone card made by
-copying all the data from a credit card. -Maybe
it's connected to Sid somehow.
Wait a minute. Kouhei, is there anything spicy?
-Spicy? -Something to stimulate the brain.
Oh, that would be...
-Don't take it out. -Oh, right.
So where's Kikuta and Nori?
Kikuta's covering the victims' workplace and
Hayama's looking into Sid and clone card.
We all feel the same way, Shunin.
Okay.
Do you play the game on Gachagee?
Uh..yes.
Do you remember what you talked about with a player
-named Sid? -Hm~ I don't remember.
Thanks.
I'm sorry.
-It's in regards to Tsunashima Nobuhiko-san. -You're here again?
No matter how many times you come, it's the same.
I've already told you everything I know.
But if you come do sales for us,
you may do very well.
Actually, I came to ask you a favor.
-Favor? -Yes.
"Do you know where I can get a clone card made?"
Recognizing the possible connection between the primary case and
the gang member murder case that occurred in Roppongi Precinct,
effective today, the Roppongi task force will be absorbed by this task force
-and renamed Special Joint Task Force. -Excuse me.
Being that the criminal's already captured,
I'm not sure I see the need to establish a joint task force.
-Hear me out first. -Alright.
The situation has changed somewhat from yesterday. Report.
I'm Oyama from Forensics.
Speak up.
I can't hear you~.
Don't mind him. Continue.
We analyzed the zebra that was found
in the business office of Katagiri-gumi.
The content consisted of synthetic narcotic drug and acetaminophen.
The capsule encasing it was made of gelatin
derived from dried cow bone. In other words,
it's a capsule typically sold in stores.
In addition, we also analyzed the zebra which was found in
the residence of Hasunuma Kotaro-san, the fourth victim.
The content was synthetic narcotic drug and anesthetic halothane.
It's different from acetaminophen, but
this drug also triggers fulminant hepatitis.
This capsule was also made of gelatin.
However, there was milk in the white capsule.
Also, from the fact that there were individual variations in the shape,
it is thought to be a hand-made capsule,
most likely intentionally made with milk.
And Kunioku Sensei from the Coroner's Office confirmed that
from the stomach of all four victims, Sakurai, Tsunashima, Misawa, Hasunuma,
a trace of substance found in milk was detected.
Hey, just give us an easy to understand conclusion.
Oh...yes. That is to say,
the zebra found in the business office of Katagiri-gumi and
the zebra found in the residence of Hasunuma Kotaro-san,
the fourth victim. These two
are two entirely different things, meaning cause of the four's death
is not the zebra in Katagiri-gumi's possession.
In other words, just as Katagiri testified, Katagiri-gumi is a copycat offender.
It means the primary culprit who killed these four is still out there.
However!
However, the fact that we found zebra is a big step forward.
We're changing the investigation strategy. Shima.
The anesthetic halothane, the capsule with milk,
the plastic bag the zebra was in.
Find out where everything came from and track zebra's distribution route.
-Will do. -Himekawa,
check out the fourth victim, Hasunuma Kotaro's personal relationships.
Don't overlook whatever he has in common with the other three victims.
Katsumata.
Yup.
Collect evidence as to whether the zebra seized
from Katagiri-gumi is actually a fake or not.
From the manufactured date and distribution route,
find out if there were any ties to the victims. That's it.
Any questions?
Dismissed.
Let's go.
Shima Shunin's got himself in the most advantageous position.
Yes, if he tracks the source of halothane, he'll be led directly to the culprit.
It won't take too long.
If we don't hurry, he's gonna take all the juicy parts.
Shunin.
I need to talk to you.
I don't have time.
I've been bothered by the fact that news of zebra
was going around on the internet from early on.
I've been wondering if someone in close proximity to the victims may have seen it.
But you didn't find anything when you checked the people around them, right?
Yes. I repeatedly questioned their colleagues, but nothing came up.
But maybe they just can't tell the police even if they knew.
You mean a fellow drug user?
Yes, so...
I set up a trap.
A trap? -Sakurai Wataru, Tsunashima Nobuhiko.
I talked to the immediate supervisors of these two who died first, and
asked them to forward an e-mail to everyone in the department.
That the police may be conducting a drug test today.
-And so? -A short while ago, I verified with
the supervisors, and there was one who fell for it.
-Who? -Tsunashima Nobuhiko's co-worker,
Shibasaki Mikio, 28 years old.
He called in today saying he was running a high fever,
and took the day off.
Let's go.
Do you remember a player by the name of Sid?
Sid? Ahh. I chatted with that kid a few times so I remember.
Kid? What do you mean by kid?
She's probably a girl about my age.
So we talked about stuff like fashion and music,
and we hit it off real good.
Hayama-san, here it comes.
"This is the clone card maker. Are you the one who wants one made?"
Sorry about that.
Yes~.
Excuse me. I just moved in next door and
-I'm here to introduce myself. -Just a minute.
-Hello. -Hello.
Oh, Shibasaki-san, you look well.
I heard were running a high fever
-took the day off. -Huh? Who are you?
Himekawa with MPD. Under the Stimulants Control Act,
you're...
Kikuta!
Stop!
Come on, stand up!
Hey.
You can't?
I'm sorry.
Let me ask you one question.
Were you aware that your co-worker, Tsunashima Nobuhiko-san,
had possession of an illegal drug with zebra design?
You'd better answer honestly for your own good.
Tsunashima's the one who got me started on drugs.
He told me he got hold of a new drug
and showed me zebra.
But I still had
other drugs, so...
Did he tell you how he got hold of zebra?
He said someone gave it to him. Someone he met on Gachagee.
-What's the name? -Sid.
He said he got it from someone called Sid. I swear, that's all I know.
-Thanks. -Okay, then...
-Yes, Himekawa. -This is Ishikura.
I'm here where Hasunuma Kotaro had a part-time job.
Hasunuma was also engaged in patronage dating
with high school girls he met on Gachagee.
The shop employee said he used to brag about it all the time.
Alright. Thanks.
What's the matter, Kouhei?
About that guy Sid who was using Shimosaka's card.
He was in contact with Hasunuma Kotaro too.
Does that mean all four who died
had contact with this guy Sid?
-That's what it looks like. -Alright.
Was Sid in contact with Hasunuma Kotaro too?
-Sounds like it. -Looks like we can
safely assume that he's supplying the zebra.
The question is,
who in the world is Sid?
-Nori, where are you now? -I'm going around talking to
the individuals who had contact with Sid based on the communication record.
-And? -Judging by the conversation that
took place during the game, there's a good chance
Sid is a girl in her teens.
A girl in her teens?
Yes. Also, have you heard the rumor
about clone card deals being made
-during the game? -Yeah, I heard.
I got in touch with that underground clone card maker.
I'm meeting him in an hour at Jewelry Bridge in Ueno.
-Nori. -Yes.
Well done.
Thank you.
I'll have Tamotsu-san and Kouhei's teams head over there so meet up with them.
We'll head out there right away too.
What's the matter, Shunin?
It's been bothering me all this time.
Originally, this investigation started with the focus being on pharmaterrorism, right?
Yes. That it's an organizational terrorist incident
-was the popular belief. -Then next
we said it was caused by conflicts between gangs.
But that was Gantetsu being overzealous.
It seems we were thinking that there was some
big force in behind this case, but
I'm wondering if that's true.
-What do you mean? -You know, because
if an organization with a clear-cut objective is behind it,
do you think they'd make a drug with flippant zebra design like that?
Plus, the capsule has milk in it too.
It's as if it's making fun of the world.
Could it be that what's actually behind this case
is something more childish and half-assed?
High school girl, clone card, zebra design.
Everyone calls it zebra but
but it's got milk in it so maybe it really ought to be cow.
Cow...
I got it. Ioka,
nice play. Kikuta!
-Yes. -Call up everyone right away.
We're meeting up with Nori to confirm the culprit.
Yeah, what?
-Voluntary questioning? -Yes.
Let me do it one more time.
Who are you nabbing?
You can't mess up anymore.
I understand.
Alright. But
only after you get confirmation on the clone card.
Thank you very much. Then can I have you
send me the picture? Thank you.
What do you think? Shall we just wait for backup to arrive?
No.
Let's go ahead and take him into custody.
Are you the clone card maker?
Can we ask you a few questions?
Drop that knife!
Do you think you can get away with all these cops surrounding you?
Drop it.
Drop it!
That hurts, you bastard!
There's one thing I want you to tell me.
Have you ever made a clone card for this individual?
Attention, everyone! The investigation meeting
will be delayed by one hour.
-What? -What's the reason?
Himekawa Team has the culprit in custody.
-Did she nab someone? -Yes.
-Who is it? -That's...
Hey, hey. What's with all these spectators.
A protest from Shimosaka Yuichiro. He's asking why is daughter was snatched away.
If this is a mistake again,
-you know what's gonna happen. -I'm well aware.
The one who was using Shimosaka Yuichiro-san's clone card
was you, his daughter, wasn't it? Miki-san.
We were totally amiss.
First, we thought your father was Sid, and
when we found out that he wasn't,
this time we thought a stranger who stole your father's credit card information
was using the clone card to register for the game.
But
But apparently, it was much simpler.
You stole your father's credit card to
make a clone card and was using it in secret.
Taking advantage of the fact that your father rarely looks at the statements.
You know, today when we showed your picture to
a clone card maker doing business on the game site,
he testified that he's positive he made a clone card
and gave it to you six months ago.
In other words, you're Sid, aren't you?
I never said I wasn't.
Tell me what's so bad about a child spending the parents' money?
They won't make me a card so
all I did was make the arrangements.
No matter how much I spend on the clone card, those two
think that I'm a good girl who doesn't waste money.
And we're all happy. Don't you think that's awesome?
Then you must have an idea why
you were called in here today, right?
Maybe I do, maybe I don't?
Sakurai-san, Tsunashima-san,
Misawa-san, Hasunuma-san.
They're all deceased. You know, right?
I'm not sure.
You're doing it too, aren't you? Prostituting.
Prostituting?
You must've been popular, huh?
At first glance, you look pure and innocent. Those high school girl-loving gentlemen
must've gone wild over you, huh?
Who knows.
Well, it's true I'm younger and cuter than Himekawa-san.
Then you admit that you were prostituting.
What if I was?
The world's like this anyway,
does it matter what I do?
And so, you gave this to these four men.
This tacky black and white drug zebra.
It's not zebra but a cow design.
Where did you get it?
-A creepy client gave it me. -Creepy client?
A creepy medical student
who was saying stuff like "I'm going to be a famous doctor
-and get rich." -Medical student?
When I told him I liked cow designs,
he went and made this drug.
He said "The capsule has milk in it so it's good for you."
There's no way I'd take a drug like this.
-What's his name? -Was it Udagawa Koichi?
From Toto Medical University.
He's Asakura's nemesis. Go nab him.
-Yes. Oka. -Yes.
Why did you hand out the drug?
I only gave it to them because they said they wanted it.
I haven't done anything wrong.
Listen, girl.
You just said you were engaged in prostitution.
Listen, I can use the clone card all I want.
I'm different from the rest who do it for money.
-Then what are you doing it for? -Because it's fun.
To see grown-ups grovel to me.
So in my case, rather than prostituting, it's more like...
Stop kidding yourself. Prostitution is prostitution.
Oba-san, why are you getting so hot?
If you're gonna lecture me about that patronage dating is bad and stuff,
I'm sick and tired of it. In the first place, who can say
that the world's oldest profession is good or bad.
But someone can. -It's been decided by the law
in this society that patronage dating is bad.
You're not convincing at all. Then why are soaplands okay?
-They're no different from patronage dating. -Excuse me, but they're totally different.
-What's the difference? -Those women are
paying their taxes.
They're legitimately registered as an employee at a licensed business
and they're recognized by society as such.
You keep on saying society, society. That's got nothing to do with me.
Oh really? Then I'll
destroy that society of yours.
First, I'll call your mother.
I'll tell her "Apparently, your Miki-chan was spending all her time
engaging in prostitution."
And your school. I'll announce it so that
teachers, students, even the oba-san at the school store know about it.
"Shimosaka Miki is a prostitute. Mr. Principal, would you like to try her too?"
Don't even think that it's a matter of persevering until talks die down.
If you should dare to marry whoever
as if nothing happened, I'll make sure he knows.
Your workplace, wherever you move, I'll go around saying "She's a prostitute."
But all that doesn't matter to you, right?
Society doesn't mean anything to you.
You're the worst.
You knew, didn't you?
When it started making the news,
you must've thought that maybe the drug you gave out was the cause, right?
Then why didn't your warn them?
At least the fourth victim might have been saved.
But I'm not the one who made it.
In the first place, they're the ones who said they wanted it.
That means it's none of my business, right?
To be honest, I didn't really care who died.
Don't give me that bullshit!
What the hell do you mean "didn't care who they were"
after killing four people!
Kikuta, pictures.
Sakurai Wataru, 30 years old. Cause of death is acute liver failure due to fulminant hepatitis.
Tsunashima Nobuhiko, 29 years old. Due to late discovery, his body was partially decomposed.
Look at them!
Misawa Mitsuharu, 35 years old.
And finally, Hasunuma Kotaro, 27 years old.
These are the people you said
you didn't care who they were. Look at them!
-Shunin. -Shut up.
This is the gang war caused by zebra.
And Police Sergeant Asakura Keigo, who got entangled in the conflict and died.
All of them,
you did it.
You killed them.
So, the outcome of what you started because
you didn't care who they were or what happened to them,
how are you going to pay for this?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry?
Do you think you're gonna get away with that!
Shunin!
You brat who can't even take responsibility for her own actions,
take that smart mouth and shove it!
Letter of apology.
That's overkill.
-Shunin, she was like a kid, huh? -Don't say worthless things.
-Alright. -But
her angry face was fine too, huh?
But why are you here?
I told you, I don't eat two.
Idiot. One's for your princess. Give it to her for me.
-Alright. -Good night.
Good night.
Udagawa Koichi was
apprehended by our team.
He said he wanted Shimosaka Miki all to himself
so he diligently kept on giving her zebra.
Oh, is that right.
You ain't cut out for it.
The First Division's shunin blowing off her top at a bit of a girl like that.
You're absolutely right. Good night.
Himekawa.
You're an idiot, you know that?
I should've used my left hand.
