Mizusawa Sakura.
In the corner of a police station...
...she continually listens, day and night, for the complaints by residents about fugitives from justice.
But this woman understands what are lies and what are truths regardless of age or gender in those streets.
Yes, her ears...
Heiwa Fansubs Presents
...will never miss the truth.
~The Woman Who Hears Incidents~
Good morning, Komagome!
"Kokoro-san, hello there." Yes, hello back.
"The other day, I was able to reunite with my First Love for the first time in thirty years."
How did The Stalker Know Where She Was?!
Episode 7:
My First Love? He took me to go see the movie West Side Story.
Ah, that movie, huh? It was a good one, wasn't it?
Say Ume-san, when did you have your First Love?
Mine?
At 18.
Who was the guy?
I wonder if he's someone similar to Kayama Yuzo?
(popular musician and film star)
No way. He couldn't be that handsome.
I'm envious.
That's right. Back in those days...
...I was pretty popular with the guys.
Ume-san, you're popular even now!
Ah, Sabu-chan. Who was your First Love?
Eh?
Ah... um, well...
Could it be that Sakura-chan is your First Love?
I see! I guess it is Sakura-chan!
Hey! Never mind about Sabu.
Hey you, it's about time for you to go.
"By the way."
"Kokoro-san, I wonder what sort of guy your First Love was like?"
Don't bother about me!
Kokoro-san's First Love, huh?
Wonder what kind of guy he was?
Kinda wanna know, kinda don't wanna know.
How about you, Kaede-san? Who was your First Love?
That was, of course...
...Bruce Lee! Atchaaan!
"Bruce Lee" she says...
No good! Absolutely no good!
What are you doing?
Unsatisfactory, you!
Here goes!
She's too good.
You're no Bruce Lee, are you?
Say, say. Wanna know who Onee-chan's First Love was?
Huh? I'm not particularly interested.
Woo-hoo!
What are you doing?!
The Principal at her middle school.
The Principal?! Isn't that super-average?
He wasn't just some old man.
His height was 190 cm. His specialty was in hunting.
(6'3")
He was of the Maasai people.
Maasai?!
What is it? Are you okay? Coming down with a cold?
I'm fine. Thanks for your hard work.
Take care.
Scared...
Sakura-san! Here, if you don't hurry, you'll be late again!
Just what is going on, for pete's sake?!
Let's hurry.
I'm sorry!
Stalkers really are troublesome!
Eh?
A woman who came in just now...
...said she was being harassed by a stalker. "I'm scared, I'm scared," she said.
Teramoto Mayu
Sakihana Cafe
(Coming from her part-time job)
Seems she encountered some injuries from him while in Yokohama.
Ala? Where's Sakura-chan?
She took off somewhere.
Sorry.
Excuse me.
Are you okay?
Teramoto Mayu
Here you go.
It will warm you.
Thank you very much.
Is there something wrong somewhere?
Three days ago, while I was coming home from my part-time job...
I'll kill you
Commit suicide
You can't run away
Murder
Who would...
I think it's probably Yajima.
Yajima?
Back in Yokohama, we dated for a little while...
I told him he was tying me down too much and that I wanted to break up.
But he wouldn't understand that.
Oi, what do you mean, "let's break up"? I won't allow that.
Yajima Tomohiro
I won't allow it!
It won't work, I told you!
Mayu!
Yajima Tomohiro
If you don't meet me once more, I'll die.
Terumoto Mayu
I'll kill you, too
Kill
Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill
I got so scared that a month ago I moved to Komagome.
I didn't tell my friends my new address and I even changed part-time jobs.
My phone number, e-mail address; I changed them all!
But even though he shouldn't have been able to find me...
Mayu-chan, where did you go off to?
Cafe "Sakihana Cafe" Manager Miyashita Akane
I even went to your apartment and got worried when you weren't there.
I'm sorry.
I went to consult with the police.
I became ill along the way back here and...
...this person helped me...
I'm Mizusawa Sakura.
Thank you very much for that.
She's been working part-time for me...
Say, why did you go to the police? I told you they're unreliable, didn't I?
But I don't want to just keep bothering you, Akane-san.
Talking to the police is pointless.
It was the same for my younger sister, too.
Anyhow, please take a break in the shop.
And then...
Is this Teramoto Mayu-san?
That's right. This Usami Keiko-san.
Stalker Counter-measure NPO Manager Usami Keiko
She manages a stalker counter-measures non-profit organization...
...and also acts to shield victims.
I'm Usami.
Take one.
Mayu-chan, she thinks it's too dangerous for you to stay in your apartment like this.
Until you can find a new place to live, how about staying with Usami-san for a little while?
Since I have a spare room, please do come.
Thank you very much.
Since you'll be with Usami-san, you can rest easy, Mayu-chan.
Let's discuss your future, okay? We can talk about all sorts of things.
I was truly under your care.
Not at all.
Thank you very much. Um, if you'd like, have some coffee.
Thank you very much.
Come in.
Miyashita Akane-san.
You know her?
It was a short time before you returned to Japan.
Her younger sister, Miyashita Yuki-san, had been murdered by a stalker.
Eh?!
She had come again and again to our station for consultations.
A man named Kakuda Tsuyoshi was hounding Yuki-san.
I sent out as many warnings and patrols as I could.
But then Yuki-san moved to Omori for a little while, and...
After that, the criminal took his own life.
How did Kakuda Tsuyoshi know where Yuki-san had moved to?
Because Akane-san had only given her sister's address to the police...
...she wondered if we hadn't been the ones who leaked it to the criminal.
Eh? Is that what happened?
No.
But Akane-san was convinced we had.
No matter how many times I explained it, she just wouldn't understand.
That's the same as the Teramoto Mayu-san case.
Huh?
Even though Mayu-san came from Yokohama without having told anyone her address either...
...her ex-boyfriend still found her.
She's the one who came in for a consultation today, right?
I received the report from Kaoru-san.
Not only from the Life-safety Division, she was demanding help from the Criminal Division, too.
Anyhow, a stalker is a low fellow.
I absolutely won't forgive that guy!
Just because the one you're with...
...won't go the way you want them to; to persistently follow them around like that...
Such a thing isn't love at all, is it?!
The man may say, "I love her so much..."
...but all he's doing is thinking about himself.
Thank you very much.
Good afternoon.
Ah, from yesterday. Come in.
Here you go.
I'm sorry. We've worried you so much.
Not at all. When I saw Mayu-san's situation...
...I realized how I could be a woman like her.
I got a call from Mayu-chan this morning.
She said she was at Usami-san's home...
...and she seemed a little relieved.
Thank goodness.
It's encouraging, isn't it?
That kind people like Usami-san are out there.
Since long ago, Usami-san...
...has investigated cases like Mayu-chan's.
How is it a stalker can come to know the place you have hidden in...
She says unless you determine the source for that and stop it...
...then you won't be able to stem the damage the stalker can do.
Stalkers...
I just cannot forgive them.
Good evening.
Ah, good evening, Akane-san.
Hello. The bulb went out.
The house would be dark and unpleasant, wouldn't it?
That's true.
Keiko-san!
Yes?
This one's fine, isn't it? Kyaa!
Stop it!
Mayu-chan!
Someone!
Stop it!
Mayu-chan! Mayu-chan!
Wait!
Mayu-chan, are you okay? Are you okay?
Let's call for an ambulance.
Please do. Mayu-chan. Mayu-chan, are you okay?
Um, a woman has been injured. Yes.
Please do that.
You'll be okay. Hang in there.
Kan R.
What's happened?
She was attacked!
Where's the criminal?
He went that way!
An injury incident in Senhayabusa. A woman...
Mayu-chan!
The criminal is a man; please send backup as soon as possible.
There's no mistake that the one who attacked Teramoto Mayu-san...
...was her ex-boyfriend, Yajima Tomohiro, is there?
Two weeks ago, Yajima Tomohiro...
...had retired from his job in Yokohama. He also vacated the apartment he was renting...
...and his new address is unidentified.
He was chasing Teramoto-san...
...and so it's likely he's staying somewhere in the Komagome vicinity.
Locate where Yajima is staying right away.
Yes!
Excuse me.
Kan R.

Usami Keiko
How is it a stalker can come to know the place you have hidden in...
She says unless you determine the source for that and stop it, then you won't be able to stem the damage the stalker can do.
What's going on? To have you sighing like that.
The girl I was talking about yesterday was attacked and injured by a stalker.
Eh?
The stalker is being pursued by the Detectives Division...
But...
You heard a voice that's bothering you?
Yeah.
But I still don't know what the meaning of that voice is.
Even if we arrest the stalker, that wouldn't settle everything.
Sakura, it's not that easy to hear true words.
Don't worry. As long as you firmly bend your ear to it...
...you will definitely hear the voice of truth.
So hurry off to bed for today and get up cheerful tomorrow.
Hey, stand up and get in the bath.
I'll wash your back.
Eh? No, I'll be fine.
It's okay; I want to wash it.
I said I'll be fine!
Hey, Sakura!
Police HQ Komagome Central Police Station
We've located Yajima's residence. Ueno Weekly Apartments.
Hurry and bring him in for questioning.
Yes.
Yajima Tomohiro-san, right?
We'd like to hear your story at the police station.
Yes.
Where were you around 6 pm last night?
I was in my apartment the entire time.
Is there anyone who can verify that?
There isn't since I was alone.
You live alone in your apartment, don't you?
Mizusawa, you saw the criminal, right?
Is that him?
Kyaaa!
Mayu-chan!
His height is similar, but because he wore a mask over his face...
That's useless...
Sorry.
What is this? It's not like you.
Because... even though I was at Mayu-san's side, I wasn't able to protect her.
Yajima-san. Until two weeks ago...
...you were working in Yokohama, weren't you?
Why did you quit your company out of the blue like that?
Did you come out for Ueno?
Not really.
I just wanted to try another line of work.
Didn't you come out to Tokyo chasing after Teramoto Mayu-san?
I didn't.
The one who placed posters across Teramoto-san's apartment 5 days ago was you, wasn't it?
And last night you attacked Teramoto-san, too.
I didn't!
Do you have some evidence to prove that?
Mayu-san?
How are you feeling?
Yes...
Where's Akane-san?
At her store.
I told her to take today off, but she said that since I had come, she should go.
Since there are police out front, be at ease.
Yes.
Ah... Mayu-san...
I have something I'd like you to take a little look at.
Do you recognize anything about it?
No...
But I do think that's Yajima's handwriting.
Kan R Otomo Bank Higashihara Branch
Yajima?
Kan R Otomo Bank Higashihara Branch
That means Yajima knew about Keiko-san's house as well as this store...
I have to stick close to her from here on, don't I?
I must protect Mayu-chan...
Akane-san...
Senban-do Building
It's Keiko-san.
Hello?
Akane-san? Wait just a little longer.
I might have found the truth.
Eh? The truth?
About how stalkers were able to get...
...the whereabouts of your sister and Mayu-san.
Really?
Truth is...
Hello?
What's happened?
I suddenly can't hear her voice any longer.
May I take it?
Usami-san.
Usami-san!
Chief, from Usami Keiko-san's body a reaction for drugs appeared.
It was murder, wasn't it?
She had been protecting Teramoto-san when she was attacked the other day.
Yes. At the spot where Teramoto-san was attacked, she repulsed the criminal.
To the stalker, she would be the biggest obstacle in his way.
Call for Yajima.
Yes!
I'm not joking! I was at home all day yesterday!
Can you prove that?
I don't have to prove it! You detectives were watching outside my apartment the entire time!
There's no evidence Yajima left his apartment.
Break Yajima's alibi!
Yes!
Usami-san was murdered...
Even though she was trying so desperately to protect...
...Mayu-san and other people targeted by stalkers.
Who could be this cruel?
The Criminal Division considers this to be a crime by Yajima.
We're working right now to break the guy's alibi.
It may not be Yajima.
Eh?
I'm...
...concerned about the voice I heard from Usami-san.
Kan R.
Kan R?
You're saying that has some connection to the criminal who murdered Usami Keiko-san?
I don't know.
But...
...I'm sure it will lead to something.
Oh, no! What should I do?
Take the plunge.
Right? It might be nice to meet him...
I'm home.
Sakura-chan! Hey, look at this. Ryu-chan found this for me.
Sabu Research, Inc.
"Find Your First Love."
There's this sort of thing out there, huh?
Shizue-chan.
You were saying you wanted to meet your First Love who took you to see West Side Story again, right?
I'm not impressed about making requests in this way.
A true relationship happens spontaneously over a chance meeting.
But if I go looking for her expressly...
...my First Love might just appear before me.
Hey, hey! I'm tellin' your wife!
How? Did you know?
What is this "Kan R"?
Yeah. This is their website, isn't it?
Let me see that a minute.
Kan R
Kan R.
"Suga Research."
We will find them wherever they are
How is it a stalker can come to know the place you have hidden in...
She says unless you determine the source for that and stop it, then you won't be able to stem the damage the stalker can do.
Thank you.
Stir up some courage and go for it.
But...
I would be nice to meet him, but...
Hello Chief, this is Mizusawa.
I'm sorry for calling so late at night.
I have a request to make.
Suga Research, Inc.
Under your care as of today, I am Mizusawa Sakura.
Let's work together.
"Suga Research" President Kuriyama Tetsuya
I'm Kuriyama, the President. Nice to meet you.
It is our foremost job...
...to thoroughly research who it is our clients want to meet and what they want to know about them...
Kuriyama's Secretary Kitai Koki
...and so grant their wishes.
Please do your best.
Yes!
Thanks for your hard work.
Takeuchi-kun, listen to this.
Sakura-chan has taken another vacation.
This time around she says she was bitten by a dog.
Ah, I see. Why a dog? She could've come up with something better.
Ah, what's that? Are you worried?
Ah... It's nothing?
What is it? Tell us!
Could it be Takeuchi-kun and Sakura-chan are...
Wait, wait, hold on there!
Because that fellow is totally not my type!
Ala! I wasn't talking about that at all.
How suspicious...
Hey, give me a break here, geez...
I'm sorry. Excuse me.
Ala. He's running away.
Toshima Medical Center
It's my fault.
Keiko-san... Because she had been shielding me...
...Yujima then bore a grudge against her and...
Mayu-chan.
It's not your fault, Mayu-chan.
You shouldn't be blaming yourself.
Whether Yajima is the criminal or not...
...is something we don't know yet.
But...
It looked like Keiko-san was investigating a memo that Yajima had written.
A memo?
What was written on it?
It said "Kan" in kanji and "R" in roman letters.
After that, it had the name of a bank.
"Kan"? Which kanji was it?
("Kan" can use many different kanji characters)
The "grass radical" kanji...
Could you write it for me?
This one.
Kan R
Here, take care of this one.
Yes, understood.
Then, please sit over here.
Please call here and verify the current address of this person.
Investigation Request List
Eh? What should I say?
Please tell them that a high school classmate of theirs...
...has news of a class reunion for them.
And that their parents wanted to notify them.
But...
...is it all right to lie to them?
What are you talking about?
Our client is saying that she wants to meet them!
It's our duty to search for them. This is helping people.
Then, please use this phone. Please do a good job.
There's going to be a class reunion soon...
...so could you please tell me Sayuka-chan's contact information?
We are trying to deliver...
...some flowers to Tanaka Yoko-sama, however it seems her address has changed...
Kan R
I might have found the truth.
About how stalkers were able to get...
...the whereabouts of your sister and Mayu-san.
Yes, this is Suga Research.
Eh? What are you saying?
I'm busy right now, so I'll call you back.
Please give me your phone number.
Yes.
It's getting dangerous.
Where should we go to eat?
Pasta?
We're going to lunch. Want to come with us?
I... brought my lunch.
I see. Then, let's go.
What should we have?
Huh?
There...
Under-the-table accounts?
Yajima Tomohiro
Yajima...
Teramoto Mayu
Kakuda...
Kakuda Tsuyoshi
Miyashita Yuki
How did Kakuda Tsuyoshi know where Yuki-san had moved to?
I knew it...
This is Miyashita Akane-san, isn't it?
Very well. I'm heading over to your shop right now.
Seems this Miyashita Akane women knows that NPO person came to our business.
She might expose that we got rid of Usami Keiko, wouldn't she?
So before that, we need to shut her up.
Taxi!
Yajima isn't moving, is he?
Don't slack off.
Yes.
Huh?
What is it?
Those sneakers...
It's Yajima!
Fool!
Oi! That way!
Damn it!
Congratulations on leaving the hospital.
Thank you very much.
I'll take your bags.
This way.
As I said on the phone earlier, I'm Kuriyama of Suga Research.
Ah, yes...
Let's talk.
Eh? Um...
Thank you very much.
Just a moment please!
Please follow that car!
You're okay with the restroom here?
Thank you.
I'll be back right away.
Ah no, I'll come along with you.
Thank you very much.
What's with that man?
Ah, sorry.
Kyaa!
Yajima!
Don't come near or I'll stab her.
Ah!
Wait!
Endo!
Senpai!
Get Teramoto to the car!
Yes!
Are you okay? Can you stand?
The one who killed Usami Keiko-san was you, wasn't it?!
No! I didn't do it!
This is unsightly of you, Yajima!
It's true! I only just wanted to meet Mayu again!
Mayu! Mayu! Mayu!
We'll listen to the details at the station! Let's go!
Mayu! Mayu!
Mizusawa Sakura
Hello. What is it?
Eh?!
Hey, stop this! Let me go!
What is this, geez!
Ow...
Now... If it's here, we can have a nice, long talk.
Where my younger sister was...
The ones who told Tsuyoshi that was you, wasn't it?
And you told Yajima where Mayu-chan was located as well.
And, when Keiko-san found out about it, you killed her!
Do you have evidence of that?
Yajima had a memo with...
...your company's account number written on it.
Such a thing... no longer exists.
When you murdered Keiko-san, you threw away the memo, didn't you?
I got evidence that Yajima transferred money to this company's accounts for your investigation fees.
Just what is that?
A memo Yajima wrote in his own handwriting.
You guys got Mayu-san's address through an illegal investigation.
Even though you knew Yajima was a stalker, you still gave him the information.
That is a violation of the Assisting a Stalker Control Act...
...and a violation of the Detective Business laws.
In several stalking cases that are taking place right now...
...you guys are involved in those, aren't you?
I don't understand people who speak gibberish.
I'll be bringing this to the police.
After they examine your bank transfer records...
...all of you guy's crimes will become clear!
I might have found the truth. About how stalkers were able to get...
...the whereabouts of your sister and Mayu-san.
Truth is...
Incidentally, if you aren't around any more...
...everything will be wrapped up full circle.
Oi!
Wait right there!
Who are you?
Komagome Central Police Station, Life Safety Division...
...Crime Prevention Clerk, Mizusawa Sakura.
You're police?!
Kuriyama-san. I have seized evidence of your illegal investigations.
Your under-the-table deposits record.
You gave Teramoto Mayu-san's location to Yajima.
And one year ago, to a man named Tsuyoshi...
...you gave him the location of Akane-san's younger sister, Miyashita Yuki-san, and were rewarded monetarily for it.
As a result of that...
...Yuki-san was murdered by Tsuyoshi.
And, when she visited your Suga Research with questions...
...you murdered Usami Keiko-san.
I heard it.
Seems this Miyashita Akane women knows that NPO person came to our business.
She might expose that we got rid of Usami Keiko, wouldn't she?
If the police investigate it...
...all of your crimes will come to light.
What's that?!
False words and true words...
This ear can clearly discern between them!
Go to hell! Do it!
Let's stop with the violence!
Wait!
Takeuchi-kun!
You... Ow!
There's a difference in levels...
What are you looking at?! This is the police!
Okay! Ah! Hey, I was caught!
Stop it! Stop it!
Onee-chan.
You're late, Kaede!
Akane-san, this way.
You aren't getting away!
I, Sakura, have clearly heard out this case!
You who knew the information you were gathering would be used in crimes...
...and who made money by telling the locations of where women were staying...
...thus allowing stalkers to continue following girls... How scary it must have been for them...
Because of you, the blameless Akane-san's younger sister lost her life.
And then, Usami Keiko-san, who was desperately trying to protect girls...
You killed her in order to keep your secret from being found out.
I absolutely won't forgive that!
Ah... Ume-san...
What's the matter that you have to use such a pathetic voice?
The website that helps you find your First Love has disappeared.
As for a First Love, in your innermost heart...
...being by the ones you cherish is the right thing.
I don't think it's a good idea just to lock it away, though.
Ah, welcome.
Ah, is it okay?
Oh!
Ala?! If it isn't Takeuchi-kun and Endo-kun.
Ah, oh my! Is this spot free?
Thanks for your hard work.
Is this coincidence? Fate?
Um, Sakura-san...
Next time you have a day off...
Wait, wait... Could you hold off for now?
I've been curious about this bar for awhile now.
I've been wanting to try coming in at least once.
Ah, is that right?
Are you guys regulars here?
Ah... yes. Because Mizusa...
Water? Water?
("Mizu" = "water" as well as being part of Mizusawa's name)
Well, um, look...
The water at this bar is delicious.
You come to a bar to drink water?
Like with a whiskey and tonic, and...
I'm the Proprietress, Ume.
Nice to know you.
How do you do, I'm Kaoru.
What will you start off with?
A beer? Ah, just a minute.
I guess I'll try some of your cold water.
Certainly!
This is a nice store, isn't it?
It is.
Maybe I should become a regular, too?
Eh?!
Go ahead, go ahead. I'll introduce you to all our familiar friends next time.
Sounds like fun. Um, do single people come here?
Senpai, um, about this bar...
What? Are you saying you don't want to drink this delicious liquor with me?
Not that in the least! Not that at all.
Then it's decided.
Yes!
Will you treat me to a glass as a mark of our acquaintance?
Endo-kun, what are you drinking with such a cute face?
Well, I'm having an Oolong High...
A "regular"?! Give me a break!
What are you doing?!
So I can be praised by Kaede-san, I thought I should become a stronger man.
Huh?! That sort of motivation is impure.
Well, whatever. Shall we got at it for a bit?
Yes!
Here! Kick it! Kick it!
Thank you very much!
You won't get any praise for that! Come and whack it one!
Good morning!
Good morning.
Ala? Where's Sabu-chan?
He went out to do the shopping.
You training again? You do keep at it.
Because if I missed even one day, my body would grow dull, after all!
I'm off!
Yes. Have a nice time!
Good morning, Komagome!
Oh! It's started.
Is everyone wide awake? It's said you should strengthen your body in Winter.
A strengthened body can't catch a cold!
Now, put your hands before you.
Gupa, gupa!
Yes, all together now!
Gupa, gupa!
Senpai! Senpai!
One last time! Gupa! Gupa!
Well? Is your body all warmed up?
Now, there's a North wind blowing...
...so get going!
