I'm out of chicken wings
Hear that, honey?
I said you'll have to wait
The customer's starving
Sorry. My husband's such a gossip
Really? Your son hasn't been home in six months?
That's a worry
The cafe owner's idiot son has been missing for ages
I'm warning you, dear!
I'm comforting the old man. He needs me
We shopkeepers
stick together
I'm back...
Compassion won't pay the bills
Yeah but it feeds the soul
You've got a good man, there
Really? We argue constantly now we're married
They soon make up though. Lovey-dovey newlyweds...
There aren't many like him
He works hard and he fits right in
Meanwhile we've got with these horrible crimes...
Did they catch that mugger yet?
It's terrible
Your husband's smile is our only salvation
Isn't that his son?
Hey, mister...
Isn't that the son who's missing?
That's right...
"Wanted for Questioning"
Sumire...
Shun-chan
You're Kenji Ota, eh?
You know about the recent assaults right?
I figured you'd return home eventually.
Cuff him
How dare you pull an old trick like that
Sumire, that way. Waku...that
You jerk...
Left and right...
Come here!
Arrest on suspicion of aggravated assault
Logged at 11:39am
What the hell have you done?
Look after his dad, too
Sure. What'll you do?
Even though it was a front,
it's still a store
We'll stay until everything's sold
Absolutely. I get it.
Let's go
Squad 20 to Precinct, suspect apprehended
Precinct copies
Let's get to it
Help wrap this place up
Over here, please
- Thanks - Someone take the sign
Closing give-away. Everything must go!
Take this m'dear, for all you've done
Sorry to keep you waiting
Ladies, gather round
It sure was a hell of a stakeout
We kind of overdid it
It was worth it, though
It's sad we're closing up, eh?
The townsfolk were so good to us
Let's see this through
For their sake, yes, Sumire
Let's do it, Shun-chan
Take this, please
Gather round, take your pick
Thank you for everything
Since 1997
Bayside Shakedown 4 The Final
Metropolitan Police HQ
Torigai, how many times do I tell you?
There's no way this stands a chance
Petition For Structural Reform of Police Organization
The verdict came back not guilty
What?
That kidnapping of the young girl, 6 years ago
The prosecutors returned the firearm used as evidence
Then just take it to the storage locker
Come in
Excuse me
What's his problem?
I've no idea what case he's talking about
December 21st - Metropolitan PD Bayside Precinct
Just plug it in to recharge
It's a rechargeable car
so it'll be recharged for emergency use
Finished at last
Thank you so much
We'll come eat at your place soon
Say hi to everyone for us
Welcome back
Good to be home
I've been away so long, it was tough without me, eh?
Nope. We had some very pleasant times
What the heck?
Maybe you should return to running a take-out?
Do I hear that I'm not wanted, Sumire?
Our surveillance roles are done. Address me properly
See you later
Hey, if you're on a case, I'll tag along
No, just escort duty
The International Energy Summit has started
They're short-staffed so we've been roped in
Fancy coming along?
Escort duty, huh?
Sumire-san!
Energy saving in effect
We're back
Why's it so deserted?
They're all on escort duty?
Is that it?
See you later
We're back
It's empty
Welcome back
What's up?
Collating fingerprints
Isn't that investigation's job?
It's a direct order from the Chief
Back at last, Aoshima-san
You too, Sumire-san
Why are you dressed like that?
I'm on speed trap duty
Yearning for the old days?
No way. It's the Chief's order
Mr. Wang...
Hello. These clothes hot
Chief's idea. Very cruel
I booked him into custody
Good job. Bring him here for questioning
Apparently the Chief's deciding who'll handle it
What?
They weren't peppers they were, shishito
Nice job on the stakeout
Hey buddy, what are you doing to our serious crime squad?
Address him correctly. He's the Chief now
I do beg your pardon
He's also been appointed Controller of Detective Operations
Detective Operations?
For all the escort requests for the nearby energy summit
Precisely
So you see we're short-staffed
Thus I saw fit to streamline the chain of command
A brilliant move, sir
Give a hand to traffic control
Traffic control?
I'm on a mugging case...
Then go help the accounts department
I was never good at math...
Fetch the Chief a hot chocolate
Yes on one condition
Put me on traffic patrol.
I always envied their short skirts
Aid the violent crime squad
That's more your style
Give me a break
See, they're not peppers at all
Traffic Control Section
My name is...
Aoshima-san's here to help!
Let's enforce a parking clampdown!
Can you drive?
I can drive
Help, this cop's out of control
Who's backing me?
Where's my bag?
Please let me off
Nope. Photograph it
It's a clampdown
- Your time's expired - Really?
No ogling: it's a $50 fine
Let me off
No way
A clampdown, huh?
I took a look at your diagnosis
The pain used to be seasonal
Now it's a daily thing
I had no idea it was still going on
Letter of Resignation
A break won't be sufficient?
My mind's made up
But you've been a detective so long
Right. It's all I've ever done...
Nevertheless...
It's a physical thing
I'm at my limit
Did you tell Aoshima?
I've told nobody
But if you're quitting we've got to have a send-off
- Don't tell anyone - You don't mean that
It's what I want. Please
How come?
How can you quit without telling anyone
I hate all that...
The self-pitying thing...
You'll head back to the provinces?
On tomorrow's overnight bus
You won't reconsider, my dear?
Accounting Department
What's up with these guys' expenses?
Have a word with them, please
Their undercover work only produces bar receipts
Report any problems to the Chief. He'll issue severe punishments
That's going a bit far
What are these extras from your surveillance?
Ingredients for our take-out place
Had to buy healthy stuff. Our clientele was elderly
What's this item, "proceeds"?
Proceeds from sales
The stuff flew off the shelves. I must have the knack
Your sales exceed the operation costs
Meaning I turned a profit?
No way
Well done, Aoshima-san!
Attention, reports of an armed man taking hostages
outside the Japanese Future Science Center
Suspect now in a vehicle
Don't forget your coat
Thanks
This way, Aoshima-san
Let's split and take statements
Over here, sir
- Who called it in? - This guy
Would you tell me how it happened?
A car barreled in from over there
A guy jumped out with a gun
Take a breath...
The man with the gun
immediately bundled the guy into his car
The victim was in his forties
with a beard, wearing a yellow down jacket...
A yellow down jacket...
The gunman wore a hat and sunglasses
Are you listening?
Sorry
In front of so many people in a place like this...
It was over in the blink of an eye
Bold as brass, in broad daylight
The sheer audacity of the guy...
Which way did he go?
Central HQ staff have arrived
- HQ Response Unit on site - Metropolitan HQ Copies
I'm with the local precinct
We'll base ourselves in your precinct
We need seating, refreshments, a copier
Bayside Precinct - Meeting Hall
Prep the gym for accommodation
Investigative Unit 1
This way. Order up beverages!
I'm Koike from Hostage Negotiations.
This'll turn into a kidnap investigation
That was quick. I can tell you're an ex-Mashita protege
Another incident?
Reporting from Central HQ
A corpse reported in a pedestrian tunnel
Get my bag and coat. You stay here on stand-by
Mr. Wang order up some drinks
The rest come with me
Water?
It's dark as hell
Hey there
Fits the hostage description
Nabbed there and rubbed out here
So now it's a homicide
Did you find him?
Can you tell me about it?
Bayside boys? How's old Waku-san?
Hey, mate...
See who did it?
Nah, he was dead when I got back
Beer...500 cans?
I knew this moment would come...
Congratulations, sir
Don't make a fuss...
but I'm happy nonetheless
It's a Chief's honored role to inscribe the banner for the investigation HQ
Please...
Hello everyone...
What's this?
Can we be of any help?
Sirs,
are you not retired?
But we were appointed mentorship roles
Through a re-employment initiative we're here to guide younger folk
Take the Deputy Chief's role
I am. Figured I'd help with the calligraphy
I'm fine, thank you
Tell me the circumstances
A shooting homicide in a pedestrian underpass
May I suggest, Daiba Underpass Pistol Homicide
Investigative HQ"?
That's pretty good
- Kinda obvious? - Not exactly original
In that case...
"The Great Daiba Underpass Homicide Investigative HQ"
You can't just add "Great"
I'd choose something much better
Please, sir
"Blammo! Gunned-Down-In-An-Underpass
Investigative HQ"
- Superb - Can you match that?
Or how about this one?
"Hey, I-Told-You-So
Deserted-Underpasses-Are-Dangerous
Murder Investigative HQ"
It fits
Too long, eh?
That's enough
We're off now
I know
How about 500 cases?
"Daiba Underpass...
"...Pastry..."
- It's "Pistol" - Oh, "Pistol"
"Homicide Investigative HQ"
Isn't it kinda cramped?
This character's way too big
Chief
Maybe calligraphy lessons are advisable?
Cramped, huh?
Drink order arrive. Sign.
You mean, "Please sign it"
Japanese difficult
Drop it off here
- Coffee? - Taken care of
Isn't the investigative brief at 4pm?
Director's not here yet
We'll postpone the briefing an hour
Please remain where you are
Tokyo Metropolitan HQ
Bring Muroi up to date
A man was abducted, then shot in the Bayside area
The victim was a 41 year-old male environmental activist
Muroi, remain here, gather information
I gather it isn't a regular homicide?
According to the forensic report,
the weapon used was supposed to be in police custody
It was taken from the evidence locker only 3 hours ago
Only cops have access
So the perp's one of our own?
We don't know that yet
Where's the investigation HQ?
Set up at Bayside precinct
Who's Investigation Director?
Commander Torigai. One of our best
Judging by his petition,
he certainly thinks he is
Let's establish strategic command here
We'll steer the investigation
Understood
Let's keep the lid on this stink
Can I get a cup?
Aoshima-san...
Mr. Wang's really done it now
What do you mean?
He messed up the beverage order for the investigation
Aoshima-san...
Behind you
Beer?
Every single one
He made a mistake on the order
You check. You sign, right?
Yeah, but...
I pay with investigation budget
For chrissakes, have them take it back
Since we got a discount the wholesaler won't accept it
We're in trouble if this gets out
It's a major problem
Traffic dept. bought ceremonial sake and were all demoted
Really?
It'll all be on your shoulders
The Chief is here!
Hosting the investigation will prove expensive
Crack down on frivolous expense
Thanks for your trouble
Quick, the meeting's starting
What's that?
I'm not sure...
Who's the director today?
Did you order boxed meals for tonight?
I'm busy getting ready to MC
I, the Chief, will MC
The bento is a key point. Get on it
More tape, quick...
This way
- What do we do? - Hide it...at all costs
A cover-up, eh?
It's our only option
Let's hope it works...
Welcome, sir
I declare the meeting open
Suspect update, please
Male, early-30's, about 6ft tall
...wearing a black leather coat...
...a big hat and sunglasses. Facial features unknown
We've no information on the weapon, either
What about his car?
A white sedan, number unknown
There were many witnesses since it happened in public
As though he purposely chose a crowded place
We're appealing for more witnesses
It's an obvious question, but why no ballistic info?
No cartridge at the scene?
But the bullet must be in the victim's body
Are forensics asleep at the wheel?
Wang, ask the Commander
Me? No way
Excuse me
This detective has a question
- Save it for later - Local precinct, silence!
He's not local. He's an intern from Chinese law enforcement
Why you don't know gun? It's crazy
Apologies for his impolite Japanese
What do we do?
No need to tell them
Don't say anything
We've no ballistic information
Only HQ staff will conduct the investigation
Get the locals off the case
Yes, sir
Our investigative strategy
will have HQ staff conduct kidnap and crime scene investigation
and all vehicle follow-up procedures
Yeah, yeah...
There'll be no customary daily update briefings
Please report all and any findings to me in writing
In that case...
won't we get any information?
Local precinct's role is to provide investigative support
What's that mean?
Making tea, ordering bento, making copies...
It's easy job
What are you doing?
Just a little Spring-cleaning
Aoshima, what's that?
Oh, it's absolutely nothing at all
Seriously
Be careful
Chemical weapons?
For the investigation, apparently
We absolutely mustn't touch
Don't even try to take a peek
- What to do? - We're doomed
Keep it under wraps
Or I'll be booted out
Back to work, everyone!
Investigation bentos are here. Get tea ready!
You ordered bottled tea, right?
Where is it?
No, no...
This is their tea
We make it fresh,
by hand with Shizuoka's finest leaves
That's a nice touch. I'm very impressed
What's this then?
Bon appetit
They're not for you!
That was close...
I'm so thirsty
Bento lunch boxes
What's going on?
Thank you for waiting. Lunch is served
Chief, look
Bento boxes won't do at all
for our loyal HQ staff fighting evil day and night
Please enjoy a hot meal
Now serving my signature stew
Goddamn it...
We'll have leftovers
Do Not Touch!
Danger!
Shouldn't we hide it somewhere else?
The special bento is always delicious
Aoshima-san!
Even cold, their fried chicken is good
Yours wasn't bad either, Aoshima
Notice my secret touch of honey?
I'm a perfectionist about everything
Aoshima-san!
What's with that guy you questioned?
A thug pretending to be big-time
Sweating small change from shopkeepers
- Did you bail him? - Just now
Here's the report. It's all yours
Natsumi-san...
I didn't watch it yet but...
No need to return it
That's okay
Welcome back
I'll charge for the bentos later
Chief
Any information on the case?
They won't share a thing
Told me to remove my calligraphy, too
Calligraphy?
So this is a Chief's role, huh?
Hostage Negotiations was far more rewarding
What's that?
Let's hear it for the Chief!
Thanks everyone. I'll do my best
Nice one...
You barely ate a thing
I had a cup noodle earlier
A wasted opportunity
I'm tucking in
Sumire-san
How are you feeling these days?
Don't say a word. I only told you 'cause I was drunk...
I know
Hey, listen...
Aoshima...
Watch his back, okay?
I'm counting on you
You're sure of this?
There's a handwriting match
from when the evidence was filed
and when he signed the gun out again
Why use his real name?
The crime was very public, too. Like he's showing off
What's his motive?
We don't know...
Those unrelated to the case, leave the room
You won't order his arrest because he's a cop?
He must have accomplices
We'll let him go until we find them
This officer's with the National Personnel Authority
He's an executive in information technology
A cover-up expert...
Excuse me
You have an officer Kuze in that department, right?
Yes
He's the one who removed the gun
He must be the culprit
So then...
do we have a fall-guy?
You two pair up
Waku, come with me
How come we can't join the case?
We know this area inside out
We located a material witness
We need him to volunteer for questioning... confidentially
Tetsu Ishikawa, 24 yrs old. No fixed abode
He was near the kidnap scene yesterday
We're on our own on this?
You know the area inside out
Welcome to the International Energy Summit
and thank you for coming
Fan out and get to work
Hey, Aoshima
- What are you doing here? - Part-time security guard
Nice to see you
Let's split into teams
This is my day job now
See you later
Sorry
May I ask you something?
Have you seen this man?
Is it him?
Not even close
What are you doing?
Hello!
It actually talks
Have a banana, please
Rock, paper, scissors!
Scissors win!
Everyone, put your peels in
Excuse me, have you seen this man?
I don't think so
But check out this machine
It makes energy from banana skins
Look, just like that
- Has anybody seen him? - No
Wait, Mr. Policeman
Have a delicious banana
Kids love bananas
His name's Ishikawa...
- Recognize him? - Don't know...
You got permission to sell here?
I'm the boss around here, Ishikawa
Show me your permit, eh?
I got big names backing me
What are you staring at?
Ishikawa-san, thanks for the introduction
The mafia's got my back
Well, I've got your bag, so keep quiet
He volunteered for questioning
Take him through
Leave the rest to us
Here's his bag
Who's got my back?
And who's got my bag?
Arrested again?
He's a material witness to murder
Why "again"?
I questioned him yesterday. Let him go last night
- He was here? - Yes, all day...
Thanks
Excuse me
Sorry, Commander...
He's got an alibi
Couldn't have done it. The wrong guy
Okay. I understand
We've secured a scapegoat
Aoshima of the local precinct got him to confess
Wait a minute. Did you say Aoshima?
That's what Torigai reported
At 9:50am this morning, a suspect was apprehended
His name is Tetsu Ishikawa
Motivated by opposition to the Summit
he apparently targeted environmental activists
The arrest was performed by the local precinct
for which we are most grateful
That's a feather in our cap
Way to go, us
Wait just a minute!
He's got an alibi...all day
Case closed. I declare the operation over
But Commander...
Wait a second
- Calm down - I am calm
Aoshima...
It's all over
Please disperse
What's going on, Muroi-san?
You guys arrested him
But only afterwards...
Then you questioned him and got a confession
I did?
That's a lie!
Sumire had him all day
He's clean. They've ignored his alibi
and made him into a murderer
Do you know something, Muroi-san?
Leave this to me
Muroi-san!
Aoshima-san...
- What's up? - They're hiding something
More importantly...we're busted
Cover it up, for chrissakes...
Cover it up...
A cover-up...
Get a move on!
Excuse me...excuse me...
No pictures, please
Who's the old guy?
The pickpocket Santa got drunk
How did he find booze here?
Where was the beer?
Is this really dangerous?
It's beer!
Beer?
Why so much beer here?
We're done for
Chief...
I tried to hide it...
Impounded goods
Impounded?
A certain unit used police funds to purchase it
To wind down after work
Really?
With taxpayer's money?
If word of this gets out,
you'll have a lot of explaining to do
Not that I need state the obvious
It's inescapable
It'll be your neck on the block
Cover it up! Get a blanket. Quick!
Hurry!
Hog-tie it tight!
Ishikawa's going to trial
What's going on, Torigai?
Orders from the Chief of Police to cover up the crime
When the local report is delivered
all will be known
I've suppressed that report
You know what you're doing?
I'm getting rid of bad guys
What's wrong with that?
Central Precinct reporting
At a Bayside construction site
a male corpse has been reported
all nearby units proceed
Repeat, all points bulletin,
Bayside construction site
All nearby units proceed
Hello there...
He was here when we started work...
Roughly when was that?
The victim was found dead of a gunshot to the chest
According to his license he was Shunji Domon, 48 years old
Shunji Domon?
I know him
He was the suspect in a girl's kidnap, 6 years ago
I handled the case. He was arrested 2 years ago.
2 weeks ago, he was found not-guilty and released
Really? I didn't know
The man from the kidnap case?
Killed by the same gun. This was Kuze's doing, too...
Have Public Safety taken their eye off the ball?
Get me the paperwork
Torigai...
Yes?
Find his accomplices?
Not yet
Yes
We'll resume investigative status and await HQ's orders
Yes
Is it related to the prior case?
I'd like to know more about that girl's kidnapping
Shall I consult HQ database?
I got that...
Please
Excuse me...
No, they're a kind of bean. You have to boil them first...
Waku, come here
Sumire-san...
What's up with her?
What?
She's kind of down lately, right?
Remember she was shot?
It's the effects of that
Bullet fragments still remain...
Making her unwell...
Thinks she may have to quit...
I'm angry with you
You should've known about it
Since you're always together
As my Uncle used to say,
"He who takes his eyes off what's important"
"will never get to see the truth"
That's true both in life and in crime
Fancy a break?
Yeah, I guess...
It's tough being off the case, huh?
As always
Without a case to work on, you're like a little boy
Little boy?
Sorry to put it bluntly
It's not that...
It's just my back hurts in the cold...
Remember I got stabbed?
We're full of old war wounds, eh?
I had no idea...
Even after our long stake-out
Sharing a tiny bedroom for 2 weeks
It's not as if we slept together
I took watch while you slept
I know but...
We've done a bunch of different stake-outs,
but that was the most fun
"Chicken ready yet, honey?"
"Give me a break, love"
"Quit your chit-chat"
"My back's acting up with all this frying"
"Don't whine. Be a man"
"Look who's talking"
"That hurts"
"Don't grin and bear it. It's good to moan"
"I won't hear that from a useless jerk like you"
Don't quit, will you?
Aoshima-san...
Details of that kidnap case
That was quick
The girl was 6 years old when it happened
A ransom demand was called in
The investigation brought in the newly-created negotiation unit
It was headed by Mashita-san
Koike-san posed as her uncle and made contact with the kidnapper
He uncovered the existence of accomplices
Just when he was about to locate their hideout,
the negotiation was brought to a close
How come?
According to investigative rules,
if there's a 48 hour gap
in contact with the suspect,
operational control cedes to Investigative Unit 1
They then flooded the town with lots of patrols
which alerted the perp and he fled
Next day,
they found her body shot dead in the hideout
The suspect was eventually arrested
but was recently released for lack of evidence
Something's odd about Detective Koike
What's odd about him?
That he's still around even though it's a homicide case
Detective Koike
About that kidnapping 6 years ago...
Something was bugging me...
The guy's found not-guilty yet ends up dead 2 weeks later
I've got nothing to go on but...
Anyway, why are you still here?
Local precinct officers are questioning Koike
They are?
What for?
Commissioner
The local precinct are onto something
They know something internal is going on
Are you sure?
Sir...
It can't be helped
Let's question him first
What do you think of our Chief Mashita?
Koike-san?
A little while ago...
Detective Koike...
You're wanted for questioning
Come with us
It's your fault for ending negotiations!
Where's Kuze?
Where's he gone?
Damn Aoshima's meddling
You admit your part in the crimes?
Detective Koike?
6 years ago, during that kidnap
I was on the verge of saving that kid
If those idiots upstairs hadn't messed with the investigation
If you deploy in force, he'll panic for sure
That's why you killed the suspect?
Not-guilty couldn't stand
And his accomplice, too
He got his punishment yesterday
So you're saying both victims
were the culprit and accomplice in that kidnapping?
Yeah...
Koike's confessed to it all
Really? Unbelievable
Koike and Kuze together...
They were both on the case 6 years ago
Kuze as well?
Yes, he was in charge of looking after the family
The mother was single, it seems
He crossed the line and ended up supporting her
They were involved...
But when the case closed, he was ordered to stop
I told him so
I said to move on and concentrate on a new case
I'd stuck to the rules thus far. There's no problem
There's too much damn paperwork!
Let Public Safety know
Track him down as quick as we can
To Shigeru KOIKE
From Masayoshi MASHITA
Surplus information confuses the issue
You sure you're fine with this?
Anything left in my desk, chuck it out
Sorry to leave in the middle of things
It'll sure be a shock to everyone
They'll get over it
When the next case arrives
You really think so? You're not easy to forget...
Thank you for all you've done
I didn't do anything
You always did things for us
Good night
- Shall we? - Why not, let's go
Merry Christmas
Captain Kuze is missing...
We can't keep this under wraps
Surely you're not planning a scapegoat...
I've got 3 more months. Let me retire in peace
What are you saying?
I have no interest in your feelings
I am here to protect this organization
It's Torigai
Put him on speaker
I have a proposal to secure the outcome you seek
What is it?
For false arrest and coercing a confession,
you recommend Aoshima resign
As Deputy-General of the National Police Secretariat,
Muroi-san is responsible for officer misconduct
Place him in charge of this investigation
When Kuze is apprehended,
as managing officer, he takes the fall and resigns
Pin the blame on them both?
One beat cop and one political type.
It's a good balance...
I see
If that's hard to stomach
And your sense of responsibility is strong,
you and the Deputy Commissioner
might choose to resign instead
Order Aoshima's resignation
Muroi, head over to Bayside
It'll be your final obligation
Leak details of Muroi and Aoshima to the press
Pre-empt the facts; make them responsible
Good night
Thank you very much
We apologized to Ishikawa and released him.
Don't pursue it any further, Aoshima-san
I want to know what's really going on
It's a recommendation you resign
Illegal search, false arrest and coerced confession
I did none of that
It's all in the report
That's your work
As a member of an organization,
your file defines your existence
Hand over your badge
It's an order from above
Obey the order, please
Don't snatch it
You're forbidden to investigate further
Aoshima-san...
Wait a second
Hurry up, Yuki
Come on
You're Yuki, right?
Yuki, quick
My name's Kuze. I work with your dad
Nice to meet you
Yuki?
I'm in a hurry
Would you move?
Why do I have to resign?
Muroi-san?
Me, too...
Aoshima-san...
Is it true you're quitting?
Where's Captain Kuze?
Yuki's what?
Taken away by the police
on his way home...
A man in a suit...
showed his badge...
said his name was Kuze...
then he got in his car
I'll send some guys round
What's up?
That was my wife
My son's been abducted
His friends said they saw a badge
The name was Kuze
He may call, so stay there
Okay
Local precinct stay outside, please
Mashita's son has been kidnapped by a guy called Kuze
Muroi-san
I trust you
Please trust me
You don't have a badge, right?
You're no longer a cop
Please leave
This case is ours...
All of you, listen up
Precinct Chief Mashita's son has been kidnapped
The suspect...
is Captain Kuze of the Police HQ, Unit 1
Circle a 5km area and set up road blocks
A joint local and federal team head to the crime scene
Get me the prior kidnap dossier
Dispatch one team towards Ariake
Another towards Shinkiba
Have you seen this child?
We're pursuing all leads
No cars matching the description yet
- I don't remember - Look carefully!
Sorry to bother you. Your help much appreciated
This way, please
Once the kid was aboard, the car headed towards Ginza
Tell the local team. Widen the scope of road-blocks
Go ahead
We've got some info on the man
Run with it. Use your judgment. I'll take responsibility
Aoshima, listen...
6 years ago, Kuze was...
Okay
The guy grabbed the kid and drove off, right?
Aoshima?
I'll do the same
I'll become him and flee
What the hell do you mean?
That's old Waku-san's technique
Imagine the perp's feelings, to get a read on his movements
If there's anything we can do
We offer guidance
Let's start over there
He got the kid and went towards Ginza
Evening, sir
Hey, guys
Aoshima-san
- Cold, eh? - Sure is
Let me borrow this
Aoshima-san, wait!
Sorry to keep you waiting...
It's the 8:30pm overnight to Kyushu
Welcome to the Kyushu bus
I'll get your luggage
Please take special care with that
It's film for a screening in Oita
Is that right?
The road to Ginza's blocked
Where does it lead then?
Let me find out...
During that kidnap 6 years ago...
it was me who ordered a halt to negotiations
Koike...
Cease operations
Please, give us more time...
If you deploy in force, he'll panic for sure
To hell with the rules!
They only exist to justify the bureaucrats
Please, I beg you...
Pull out
It was an order
I told him to stick to the rules
Crossing 3rd street, towards the sea
The suspect did not head towards Ginza
but towards the sea
Do you remember me?
6 years ago, I helped the investigation
Torigai-san?
This news just in
From the Bayside police precinct
an allegation of false arrest and coerced confession
is beginning to surface
The alleged abuse was carried out by an Assistant Inspector
who allegedly beat the suspect in his custody
and forced him to confess to a different crime
Also suspected of involvement
is his superior, the Deputy Director General...
In a statement, Metropolitan HQ mentioned possible dismissal
and promised to investigate extremely thoroughly
One new message
It's me, Waku. Where did you go?
The Chief's son is kidnapped. All hell broke loose
Aoshima-san's handed in his badge
We'll be fine, darling
Aoshima and Muroi-san are on the case. I'll call if I hear anything
There's something bothering us
There are similarities to the case 6 years ago
The perp pretends to be a cop then flees in a car
It's also exactly 6 years ago, to the day
So they're reenacting the crime?
Right. To teach me a lesson
What's this?
Previously, to keep the kid calm and stop her acting up
he took her to a mall to play in a toy store
Any toy stores in that area?
There's one in this mall here
I know another here
Getting this, Aoshima?
Nothing like that here
That's it...
Hey, buddy
- Open up - What's wrong?
- Can I? - What's going on?
Nothing much
There's no one there
I'm after a kidnapper
Where could he go next?
You're the suspect...
What would you do?
Yuki MASHITA
The kid started to act up
Excuse me!
Found anything?
Be careful!
There are warehouses behind the venue
Concentrate on the warehouses behind the event hall
They hid in a warehouse 6 years ago, too
Suspect may be hiding in a warehouse
Expand search area to include warehouse facilities
Can you tell which warehouse?
Which one is it?
6 years ago
the warehouse had a view of Tokyo Tower
Aoshima
What time was the kid killed?
It was 2am
Excuse me
She helped out at the precinct
during the investigation 6 years ago
I saw Torigai-san at the investigative HQ all the time
Even though he wasn't on the case
Torigai, huh?
Don't say Torigai
was involved somehow...
Get me the names of all those assigned to the case
Where's the staff list?
Here it is!
There's no-one on it
What does that mean?
The victim's mother and Torigai-san were...
It's me, Kuze. I'll kill him when it's time
Where are they?
We're running out of time
Aoshima...
If I was the suspect...
where would I...
The suspect may be armed...
Where?
Aoshima!
Bananas...
It's Bananas!
Bananas?
Muroi-san, Bananas!
Attention all units...
Go bananas
No lights
Why bananas?
Because they're delicious
You think so?
No, kids do
Banana import warehouse
The warehouse in question may be fruit-related. Focus your search
Help me!
Suspect located
The kid's safety is priority
The kid's got nothing to do with this
This is justice
No, it isn't
You're no different from the other guy
Shut up
Cuffs!
Suspect in custody
The child is safe
- Where is he? - Where's the kid?
Kid's here
Okay?
Come with us. Get up
Sumire-san?
Why do such a crazy thing?
Because I was worried...
worried about you...
Sumire-san...
You won't quit, will you?
I don't want you to...
I told her the location
but the bus was her idea
What's going on?
Nothing to see here
Statement of Accusation
...conditions preventing the solving of crimes...
...a total rethink of the structure of police bureaucracy
...a cover-up of events...
Investigative Unit 1 - Torigai
You erased the names
of the cops on that prior case, right?
Your name wasn't on it because...
the victim's mother...
was my sister
Torigai...
Muroi-san, you haven't a clue
Our country's system doesn't work
Not in politics, not in any organization
That fact is the greater crime
As a police officer, you once had principles, right?
We can't delay any longer
Someone has to take action
Muroi-san
You really intend to remain in an organization like this?
Let's go
Thank you
Ouch...
Come on, then...
Good morning
Yuki!
I'm so glad you're safe, Yuki
Thank you for everything
He's okay, dear
Here he is
I'm fine. I'm hungry for borscht
Why do you want that?
I'll try to make it for you
He wants pirozhki, too
Tell her...
He wants to eat pirozhki
Torigai was in on it, too?
Make them resign, then arrest them
So they'll be ex-police officers
Yes, sir
This'll blow over in a few days
Thank you for your help
This scandal is now a thing of the past
This wasn't a scandal
It was a tragedy
Justice is something you keep close to your heart
Torigai hoped to take us all with him
But he hadn't reckoned on Aoshima...
Commissioner...
What's your plan for Muroi and Aoshima?
Not that you have authority any more
In here...
...are recommendations that you resign
I'm expecting them
The suspect is a former policeman
who left the force a few days ago
We now understand there are more than one, but motives are unclear
According to other media sources
a statement of accusation was released by a Metropolitan Police executive
Citing bureaucratic meddling in investigation procedure
it details major obstructions to police work
The kidnap shared similarities to the incident 6 years ago
involving use of the same weapon
It was the suspect in that case tracked down by police...
Suspected involvement
in the kidnapping incident 6 years ago
about which we're currently awaiting verification
Here follows the full text of the accusations
"The current police hierarchy, especially the upper bureaucracy
"are only concerned with their own status and reputation..."
To attempt a regeneration of the police force from the ground up
I hereby accuse those guilty
Is the kid okay? Let me hear her
Get lost. She's happy enough gazing at Tokyo Tower
The relay base is picking up his signal
Hand over to Investigation Unit 1
But we've almost located them
Obey the rules of investigation
Cease operations
Item 42 of the rules of criminal investigation is very clear
Please, give us more time...
If you deploy in force, he'll panic for sure
Chief...
To hell with the rules!
They only exist to justify the bureaucrats
Pull out
Bureaucratic misdirection presents major obstacles to police work
and results in a failure to solve many cases
Even today, nothing has changed in the police organization
Regarding the current pistol homicides
a cover-up is underway, to hide police control of the weapon
and officer involvement in the shootings
To bring society's reprimand on this rotten state of affairs,
I hereby make my accusations
Commander Torigai Metropolitan Police - Investigative Unit 1
Well done
I'll take 3
2 is plenty
Well done
Local precinct treats us well
All thanks to you, HQ officers
Who was it bought these?
I wonder...
Ouch...
It was good to take orders from you after so long
How old are you now?
Not old enough
Can you still cope with fieldwork?
I guess so
My gang helps out
Don't lose this. It's precious
The precious stuff, I keep here
Come off it...
Aoshima-san
Watch his back
I was taught...
that those who exist within an organization,
need a sense of conviction
I guess...
Goodbye...
Welcome back. Aoshima-san
Let me wash our coat
It's fine, don't worry
Drink?
Everyone together
Regarding today's unprecedented developments
and the successive resignations of senior Metropolitan and Federal police
the Chief Secretary held a press conference
announcing Deputy-General Muroi as the chairman of a new committee
including a selection of current officers
with an ironclad mandate to enact drastic reform
While reforming the police command structure,
we must also form an information sharing protocol
But how to decide
what information to share and what to withhold?
It's that secretive mindset
that leads to misconduct
Surely we just need to create firm ground rules?
People say we're a closed organization
but for investigative purposes that's inevitable
It's hardly inevitable
That kind of thinking stops you preventing crime
Change the way you think
That's why the citizens don't trust you
Calm down, everyone
Please, settle down...
Thank you for your opinions
These will be taken into consideration
Inspector Aoshima, Bayside Precinct
What are your thoughts?
Me?
I leave it up to you
Rules and regulations are your business
I remember you once told me...
You wanted a system that trusts local cops to do right
That sounded good to me
"Doing what's right"
That's a tricky one
It's different for each of us
But ask any cop,
and they'll remember the day they joined the force
eager to do what's right
All of us...
we, cops,
we're the last bastion of defense
serving and protecting the people
I've got to get back to work
Sorry. They're all waiting for me
Mr. Chairman...
Muroi-san...
Central HQ to Bayside Precinct
Aggravated assault in progress
Nearby units respond
Don't mess with us cops
Aoshima-san...
