Excuse me.
Aoi-chan, that lady...
she's Hashizo-kun's dad's mom, right?
I think so.
It's awfully quiet in there. What's it like?
It's like a great battle's going on
in an unknown dimension.
Chief.
-Hm? -What did the Assistant Director say?
-Is it X Day at last? -X Day?
-You know, disciplinary action for Marukou? -Oh that.
-Transfer to Administration Dept? -Dismissal?
-Beheaded and displayed in public? -No, it's gotta be the death sentence.
No, nothing in particular.
In fact, he praised us saying good job on increasing
the arrest rate even more.
Why does she get off scot free after
-creating such a mess! -But she's getting the results.
A cop with a kid in tow is wrong to begin with!
Nagashima-kun, I'm counting on you.
The peace in this division rests on your shoulders.
Aoi-chan, you've been quiet.
-Cheerfulness is your only saving grace. -Are you on your period?
No, I'm not.
Come to think of it, I haven't had it yet.
How does 2 million yen sound to you?
What is this?
The other day,
this was delivered to us.
-And so? -I want you to take this money,
forget about this meaningless arbitration,
and leave us alone in the future.
-You mean it's palimony? -Oh no, palimony is given
when a relationship existed.
This is a token of my compassion to you.
You must have a hard time raising a child by yourself.
-Oh my, your kindness overwhelms me. -Therefore,
will you stop making groundless accusation that
Daisuke's the father once and for all?
Money is not what I want.
What I want is to negotiate in good faith.
You know,
Daisuke's saying he only met you once.
He doesn't know what you're talking about.
If that's how you feel,
I guess we'll just have to ask Hashizo's genes?
I wanted to meet you to see what kind of a person you were, but
how old are you?
I'm 41.
Daisuke's 27.
Normally, that's improbable, don't you think?
What do you mean by normally?
911 call in progress for a possible murder incident.
At 09:05 at Moto-Azabu Park in Minato-ku...
Senpai!
Excuse me, I have to get back to work.
Let's go.
No disarray in clothes noted.
She looks like she's sleeping.
Looks like she was strangled.
She's still young too.
Tacky.
Shirato Shunin, he found the body.
Did something happen between you and Sasaki again?
So can we talk about marriage one more time...
What? Hey! Wait!
Work is all I have.
This isn't the time to be chitchatting.
In the first place, you failed in marriage too.
Are you listening?
Sorry. Are you alright?
Ah...! That hurt!
Ow... Oh, Senpai.
Thank you.
Wha~! Hey, hey!
Kato Nae.
It's the victim's, isn't it?
Good job~.
Thank you.
What's this?
This is...
An ultrasound picture of her unborn baby.
That means...
It means two lives were taken.
Senpai, the building manager's out...
-What are you doing! -I'm unlocking the door.
But why are you using those suspicious tools to unlock it?
There were no keys in the victim's bag.
But you can't do that without the presence of a third party or a search warrant.
She lived alone, didn't she?
-Yes, but... -Then what's the problem.
No one's gonna complain.
There, it's open.
Underwear thief?
Thief~!
You pervert~! -That hurt! Pervert...
Russell, calm down.
But!
Isn't this Kato Nae-san's residence?
Yes it is. So?
P-police?
Oh, are you Kato Nae-san's brother?
-No, I'm just a roommate. -Roommate?
-Here too. -Yes. I'm sorry.
-Your name? -Kotani.
What is your relationship with Kato Nae-san?
Ex-lover?
You're married, aren't you?
Oh... Ex-mistress, then.
What were you doing yesterday from 6:00 pm until morning?
I was here working the whole time.
I had a deadline to meet for a layout design.
Where was Kato Nae-san last night?
I don't know. She didn't come home.
-Did she call? -No.
When she goes out drinking
she'd often spend the night at her friend's place.
Friend?
Is something wrong?
Her body was found at Moto-Azabu Park.
Did you kill Kato Nae-san?
I didn't kill her.
About her being pregnant...
Oh... yes.
So she became cumbersome? Maybe?
That wasn't even an issue. We were supposed to break up in 3 months.
What do you mean in 3 months?
When I told her I wanted to break up,
as a last request, she asked me to live with her
for one more year.
The pregnancy was an accident.
But she said she'd take care of it.
Take care of it?
Did your wife know you were living with her?
Well, yes.
Unbelievable.
-Will you come with us to the station? -I have a rush job to do...
Later then.
By the way, is your wife at home?
Getting pregnant after they broke up...
What do you suppose she was thinking?
She probably thought she got lucky.
Lot of stupid women try to hang on to men by getting pregnant.
Hey, getting pregnant and making him take responsibility is one option, Russell.
I won't resort to such a cowardly method.
Oh yeah?
I won't!
Never!
I'm sorry!
Please wait a little longer.
-Not yet? -I can't get in touch.
Oh, thank goodness. We were waiting for you.
Please hurry and change the baby.
-Uh... We're not... -That's okay.
Just go.
-I'm sorry she's so slow. -That's alright.
-Around here...? -Yes, around there.
Let's begin then.
You're Kotani Yumi-san, right?
Kotani Kazuto-san's wife.
Uh... Yes.
Ah... I can't.
I'm sorry, but babies scare me.
Mom, will you move your baby
back a little?
Check this out, okay?
Were you working last night too?
Let's see. I was preparing for the photoshoot at home all night.
Is there a problem?
You're a detective?
With a baby in tow? Isn't it hard?
I manage somehow.
I'm the one who's managing somehow.
Kotani-san, do you have children?
Um... No. I don't have time for children with my work.
We'd like to ask you a few questions.
We can talk here.
I have nothing to hide.
Do you know Kato Nae-san?
Kato Nae...
Your husband's temporary mistress.
Ah~ yes.
So her name's Kato-san.
I didn't know her name.
Daa~
Oh, was Kotani stabbed by her or something?
Why do you think so?
It's Kotani's fault to start out.
Taking advantage of a young girl for his own pleasure.
Excuse me, but don't wives usually blame the other woman?
Like calling her a home-wrecker.
You use such an old-fashioned term for someone so young.
Her mind is still in the primeval age.
That home-wrecker was murdered.
What?
You have a rather unusual marriage. Do you mind coming to the station with us?
You're an involved party, after all.
Alright...
But before that, can you take our picture?
Oh... Sure.
Let's take one more.
This is Kato Nae's cell phone record.
-Hey. -Yeah.
She only got one call on the day of the murder.
-Just one? -Yes. Yesterday at 7:36 pm,
Kotani Yumi called Kato Nae.
The wife called the mistress?
After that, they met at a coffee house near the crime scene.
The master of the coffee house confirmed them in a photo.
Kotani Yumi acknowledged that they met, but
she didn't want to tell us why or what they discussed.
Did she kill her out of jealousy because she got pregnant?
But she didn't have to kill her. The husband said she'd "Take care of it."
-Okay, let's go. -Huh? Where?
To find the real murderer of Kato Nae.
But earlier at the meeting you said the wife...
Don't you think one call a day is unrealistic
a flashy woman like Kato Nae?
It also bothers me that her house key wasn't among her belongings.
Make 200 copies of this and
hand them out in front of her office.
"To Whomever Killed Kato Nae. Thank you for killing her.
I'd like to meet with you and thank you personally.
Association for the Victims of Kato Nae." What the heck is this?
-Check out the people's reaction. -They'll kick me out
for passing out something like this in front of the office!
You're the woman who bears a grudge against Kato Nae for
hanging you upside down for everyone to see your panties.
Consequently, you became the laughingstock and men started avoiding you.
Excuse me?
Don't worry. I got insurance for you.
-What do you mean insurance? -Okay. Good luck.
Say, what did she do to you?
Huh? Um... bullied...
Sounds like something she'd do.
She was my type, but I didn't know she had a bad personality.
-What? -Please read it.
Please. Thank you.
What is this?
Who the hell are you?
-I'm with Kato Nae Victims Association. -Victims' Association?
She was the victim. Get out. I'm calling the police!
I told you to get out!
Oh dear, this is horrible.
Such a terrible thing to do to that poor girl.
Kyoto dialect?
-What a shameless amazon. -Amazon?
-And you are? -I'm Kato Nae's distant relative.
Relative?
-Police. -Oh...
What?
Ah~ Looks like a policeman just arrived.
Officer, please arrest this amazon.
-What~! -You're under arrest for trespassing.
No~!
-Please stop! Let me go...! -Calm down! Quiet
-No~! -There are people around you!
Come with me!
What a shameless woman.
Must be misdirected resentment.
Nae-san was a beautiful woman, wasn't she?
And you are?
I'm the Sales Division Chief Shimazaki.
I was Kato-san's immediate supervisor.
Oh~ is that right...
How was that child doing at work?
Was she the kind of person who deserved flyers like this to be passed around?
Not at all. She was a very hard working staff member.
One phone call and she'd rush over even for rush jobs.
Ah~ Is that right.
Excuse me for asking, but are you really her relative?
Are you single, Chief?
Yes, I am.
Nae-han must have been very happy.
To be with such a handsome single supervisor all day.
You're popular with women, aren't you?
Actually, I'm a workaholic.
I don't bring romance to work.
Chief, you smell very nice.
What's the name of this cologne?
Monsieur Pierre's Le Bois.
You're quite the stud.
It was a gift, but I rather like it.
Oh dear~ Look at the time.
If you'll excuse me now.
Okay, let's go.
Maruoka Shunin asked me to wait for the right timing and arrest you.
So Takuya was the insurance.
Sorry.
-Why do you apologize? -Just because.
Pregnant, huh?
What?
The victim.
Oh... yeah. She was the same age as me.
That's unforgivable.
The murderer killed the baby too.
-Let's get the murderer for sure, huh? -Yeah.
-That's our job, right? -Yeah.
Now is the time to
-concentrate on our job, right? -Yeah.
How much longer are you playing with the handcuffs?
-Sorry, I forgot. -That's okay, I did too.
Sorry. I'm going then.
Come to Bailan after you get off. I'll treat you dinner. -Really?
Token of my appreciation for helping me out.
Thank you. See you later then.
Hey, wake up, amazon.
Pick up baby wipes on sale before we go to Bailan.
Okay~.
Welcome.
I'd like to pay for this separately.
I don't need a bag.
The baby wipes are 500 yen. This will be 798 yen.
Thank you for coming. We may ask you to come in again.
We ask for your cooperation.
Oh, and if you plan to travel, please keep us posted.
I won't be traveling. I'm too busy for that.
-How dare they treat me like a criminal. -That can't be helped. We're an involved party.
I'm getting hungry. Do you want to stop somewhere and eat?
No.
You know, I still have work to do. Gotta get home and get started right away.
You're right. I guess I'll work too.
"A line means positive. No line means negative."
-It's really good. -You'd better eat when you can.
What were you doing? The food's getting all cold.
Hurry up and eat!
Omutsu smells!
Oh dear, it's his cologne.
It's Chanel's Egoist.
Egoist? You don't usually wear that.
Because he isn't my usual one.
Mutsumi-san, are you two-timing?
Don't you get tired of rice and miso soup all time?
-You got to have French once in a while. -Is he French?
Oh, I should give my usual honey the same cologne so he doesn't get suspicious.
Russell, when you cheat on your honey, watch out for the lingering scent.
I don't cheat.
Cheat, huh?
Russell, pass me the vinegar.
Oh, sorry.
-Thanks. -Hey, what's this.
This is uh... that is,
Rin-rin.
Rin-rin asked me to get it for her. Right?
Really?
No, I didn't, but I'll take it if she's giving it to me.
Senpai, here's the vinegar.
Thanks.
Kotani-san~.
Are you home~?
Why are we here again?
-Treasure hunt. -Pardon me?
Doesn't look like he's home.
Kotani-san~. I'm turning the music off~.
Kotani-san?
Yumi-san...
Strangled.
It's the same method.
When I came, he was already...
-Where did you get the key? -It was unlocked.
So you couldn't forgive them after all.
That's not it. I just brought dinner...
I can understand how you couldn't forgive him for cheating on you.
But did you have to kill them?
That's not it.
You gave up having children for your work, but
for your husband's mistress to get pregnant, that's too much, isn't it?
I can understand how you feel.
It's all the more regrettable because I understand.
You have it all wrong. I wanted her to have the baby.
What?
I met her that day and told her directly.
That I would agree to a divorce if she'd have the baby.
Please believe me. I didn't kill them.
The only one I killed is...
the baby I got pregnant with 5 years ago.
I had just gone out on my own, and
and I didn't have a stable income.
That was the only choice I had.
I didn't tell anyone and decided on my own.
I didn't tell Kazuto either, of course.
You chose your work over your baby?
I can't get myself to touch babies since that day.
I think they're cute, but for some reason, I'm scared of them.
It's my punishment.
Yes, I think I'm being punished.
That's why I had hoped that Kato Nae-san at least
would have Kazuto's baby.
All I live for is my work now.
You keep saying work, work, like you're really great or something.
Senpai, that was unnecessary!
Once you get pregnant, working with cameras becomes hard physically.
If you take maternity leave, you lose job opportunities.
Once you take a break in this line of work,
it's hard to recover the lost time. The timing was bad.
In order for a working woman to survive, something has to be sacrificed.
Sacrificed? That's just an excuse.
If you really want to, you can have both.
You were able to do that, Senpai, but you're the exception.
It's hard for an average woman to have it both ways.
In the first place, the timeframe when work starts getting interesting
and the child-bearing age overlaps.
I'd like to have love, my job, the whole works too, but
but life doesn't work that way. That's why I decided to focus on my job for now.
If I got pregnant now,
I might choose my job too.
Didn't you have a hard time deciding when you were pregnant with Hashizo-kun?
Not at all.
But I did brace myself.
And I had my pride.
I'll do anything to raise this child.
That's what I decided.
Kotani Yumi, you're under arrest for the murder of Kotani Kazuto.
I'll take the suspect. You call the station.
Stay here until support arrives.
Ah~ Where the hell did she go!
-I told you, Senpai took her... -Are you sure they headed back to the station?
She handcuffed her, told her she was under arrest, and took her.
Anyway, call her.
Yes, Shougetsu-an.
When did you start working for a soba shop!
We're done delivering for the day.
Uh... Where are we going?
We're almost there.
-What did she say? -Something about done delivering
and hung up. She's not answering!
Then um, Kotani... search out Marukou.
Hurry.
Who is it?
It's Maruoka.
I want you to keep them for a while.
There's someplace I have to go by myself.
Missing?
Maruoka again?
She's on her way with the suspect, so please wait.
We're talking about a serial murder here!
Is she doing something illegal again?
Knowing her, I'm sure the odds are in her favor...
I would think so. Oh well, if she doesn't arrest the culprit,
we can just cut her off.
She knows she's on shaky ground, right?
Of course.
Bingo.
Crap! Where did she go!
It's morning already!
-Is that Marukou? -Senpai, where are you!
Where's the suspect? She's already under arrest. Hurry up and bring her in!
Even if she's not the culprit~?
It's evident from the call record on the cell phone
that Kotani Yumi was the last person to see Kato Nae.
She's already admitted to that.
We'll take our time if we have to and make her fess up.
I don't know about that.
What makes you say that?
That very cell phone of Kato Nae.
Cell phone?
Aren't you suspicious that wild character only got
one phone call in one day?
There's definitely another cell phone.
And the missing key's more than likely
on that cell phone.
That's just speculation.
Wanna bet then?
Bet? You're being indiscreet!!
If I win, you can have your way with Russell.
But if I win, I'm shaving that pompous beard of yours.
Did you say I can have my way with Aoi-chan?
I guess you don't want to, huh?
It's not a matter of wanting to or not.
Then it's a deal. Let me talk to Nagashima.
Senpai, what did you bet me for?
Shirato's beard.
What? Wait a minute. How can Shirato-san's beard
and me be worth the same thing?
Get the guys from Sasaki's house and bring them to the place I'm about to tell you.
-Guys? -Oh, and don't tell Fukazawa and them.
That's impossible.
Do you want Shirato to have his way with you?
No, I don't.
Then sneak out the bathroom window.
Keep your eye on Nagashima.
So where's Marukou and Kotani Yumi?
She hung up before I could ask her.
Aoi-chan, that's one thing you should've asked.
May I be excused to go to the bathroom?
-Come back right away, you hear? -Yes.
What a constant pain in the ass!
I swear, why do I have to...
sneak out the window, seriously...
Wah~ It's way up here!
I tell you, it's not that easy to sneak out!
Good morning.
What good morning!
What's this about, having us come to the scene of Kato Nae's murder?
Because it's the scene of her murder.
There's the real culprit.
Put this on that guy.
What's this?
I'm going to teach him the value of a baby's life.
Hide.
Hide!
You're late~.
What do you want so early in the morning?
-Hold it! -Who are you!
Let go!
What are you doing! Let go!
Stand up!
Hey! What's this weird thing?
Pregnancy simulator suit. Heavy, isn't it?
The tiny life in the womb of Kato Nae who you killed.
Do you have proof that I killed her?
My cologne?
Wrong. This is the cologne Kotani Kazuto was using.
I found it very odd that
a seemingly straight-laced man like you would
-wear such an extravagant cologne. -The same cologne?
Are you saying that Kato Nae was two-timing
this guy and Kotani Kazuto?
Men are so stupid they're oblivious to women's tricks.
You were thrilled she gave it to you as a present, weren't you?
Yeah, I was dating Kato Nae.
And it's true, Nae gave me the cologne.
But just because she gave me the cologne doesn't prove anything!
-Yeah. -Okay, take this thing off of me.
This is Kato Nae's cell phone, but
Shimazaki-san's phone number isn't in here.
So, I figured she must have one more cell phone
that has your number.
Possibly with a key on it.
Possibly matching straps too.
-Police. -Oh...
I don't know what you're talking about.
You called her often about work, right?
Tell me her phone number. I'll try to call it.
Russell.
You guys were dating, right? You should know then.
Oh, or you can show me the contacts
in your phone. That would work too.
I left my phone at home.
And I don't remember the phone number!
I guess you'll have to try to remember, then.
Composite C4 plastic bomb.
It'll go off one minute after I push the switch.
If you can't remember, you'll have to die.
Senpai...
What do you think?
No matter what, that's going too far!
What's the big deal? He's the guy who killed the baby
and your husband, you know.
She can't...
No, she's liable to do it.
Run.
Hey!
Here it goes.
It's all your fault!
I really loved her!
I was really happy when Nae told me she was pregnant.
I thought I could finally marry Nae.
But she suddenly called me out and told me we were through.
Then what about Kato Nae's baby?
Nae was trying to take advantage of my baby.
So that she could marry your husband!
It's all because you told her
you'd agree to a divorce if she'd have the baby!
Let's break up.
I don't need you anymore.
But make sure you pay for this, okay?
She told me to keep on paying for the cell phone I bought her.
She said if I don't, she'll file a complaint with the company!
You all made a fool out of me.
Nae, you, your husband, you're all trash!
That's why I killed them!
Even if they're trash, once they're born
they have an obligation to live. You have no right to take that away.
Then you don't have the right to take my life either!
Don't be asserting your rights when you committed murder!
Where's the cell phone?
I buried it in my yard.
Russell.
You're under arrest for the murder of Kato Nae and Kotani Kazuto.
Alright. Take this bomb off already!
Alright. Oh... the key.
It's in the car. I'll go get it.
It's gonna explode in a minute!
-Hey, cut it out! -I'm dying anyway, you're coming with me.
-Die with me! -Calm down!
Hurry, run!
-Die with me! -Calm down!
Die with me!
Hashizo-kun!
What are you doing! Hurry up and run~!
Die with me! Please!
Help me! Help me!
-Please! -Takuya!
Take it off! Please take it off!
Please!
Senpai! Were you lying about the bomb?
Did you trick us?
It's all in your mind that you're afraid of babies.
You actually protected him just now.
My kid's cute, isn't he?
Do you want to hold him?
He's warm.
Shimazaki confessed to the murders.
The cell phone with the key was found in Shimazaki's yard.
Okay, thanks for your hard work.
What? Is that all?
That's all!
Don't press your luck after causing trouble for everyone!
I've been waiting. A promise is a promise.
I'll shave it off myself. I don't want to die yet.
That's no fun.
-Russell~! Get him~! -Yes!
I made up my mind long time ago that I'll be the one to shave your beard.
Stop it~. I don't wanna die yet.
Don't move, don't move!
You're gonna get cut~.
Yumi-san had a nice look on her face.
You know, when she was holding Hashizo-kun.
Yeah.
-You know... -Hm?
What would you do if I got pregnant?
Aoi.
The pregnancy test kit you dropped at Mutsumi-san's,
that was yours, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Aoi and the baby,
I'll protect both of you.
So let's have the baby.
Trust me.
Takuya...
Let's make both work and family work out, huh?
If we both work at it, we'll manage somehow.
Yeah, thanks.
Babies are great, aren't they?
Yeah.
What's wrong?
No, it's just...
I'm going to the bathroom.
It came~
You're one good-looking dude, Hashizo.
A woman walking on the street was randomly attacked.
Location is 3-chome Roppongi, Minato-ku. The culprit is on the run.
Officers on duty will search for suspicious individuals.
Let's go.
