- What's this? - A collection box?
- Collection for drinking party? - Oh, I get it.
It's a suggestion box. Management's soliciting our ideas.
- What? - Surely not our director~.
I bet it is. Okay, I'm gonna complain against investigating with a baby in tow...
That's Hashizo's Happy Birthday Gift Collection Box.
Today's Hashizo's birthday~.
But still, why the box?
Won't you feel awkward giving me his gift directly?
- The more you give, the more benefits you'll derive. - What kind of benefits?
Prosperity in the household, prosperity in business,
good health, driving away evil spirits, etc., etc.
You're the Investigation Division's evil spirit!
Not so loud. I have a hangover.
5,000 yen. If you put 5,000 yen in this gift box,
you will be blessed and your hangover will be gone.
Yeah right.
Here, I'll donate my receipt from last night's drinking party.
- He's in a foul mood. - I don't think the goukon worked out.
It's all your fault. It's because I don't have my beard anymore.
You weren't popular with the ladies even before that. Don't blame me.
Shut up.
He's already lost out all 10 times. He'll be single forever.
Now, now, never mind all that...
Chief.
- Don't forget, I'm off half day today. - Oh, that's right.
What's this? You get to take half day off for your son's birthday? It must be nice.
Now, now. That's enough chitchatting.
Go investigate yesterday's mugging incident.
Those are your rotten eggs, aren't they?
- What are you using them for? - Hashizo's arbitration.
I'm gonna make him acknowledge him.
Oh, so that's today.
But what are you going to do with those at arbitration?
I'm gonna throw them at the asshole.
- You'll get sued for doing that. - I'm not doing that at arbitration.
Anyway, I want Hashizo to see his father for just a second.
After all, it's his birthday.
Senpai.
Then I'm gonna blast him with rotten eggs.
So?
- Are you pregnant? - Well, um...
- Actually, it appears I jumped the gun. - Oh my.
Ah... don't tell Takuya, okay?
Huh?
He's so happy thinking that I'm pregnant.
- So you're deceiving him? - No, that's not it.
How do you say, I'm missed the opportunity...
You want me to tell him?
No, that's not necessary! I'll tell him myself.
Tell me, why do you like that guy so much?
That's because... he's the first guy I dated.
Gag.
How old are you anyway?
Softball was my life for me.
Oh.
Then here. If you're not pregnant, go buy as many cans of formula as you can.
Pardon me?
If you don't hurry up and go, I'm gonna tell Sasaki.
What? No, that's...uh...
Damn...
Senpai got a hold of my weakness.
Aoi!
- You... - Takuya!
You shouldn't be carrying heavy things like that.
And no more heels. What about belly warmer? Wool pants?
- Anyway, keep your body warm! - You're overreacting!
Watch it!
See? You'd better be careful.
- Sorry. Thanks. - Oh, that's right.
Ta-da~. Look what I bought.
- I wonder if we can hear the heartbeat. - Uh...about that...
Are you going for your checkup now?
- Oh! Uh, well... - Alright. I'm coming too.
- What? - Will I be able to see the ultrasound picture?
Wait a minute...! I... I...
What's wrong?
I'm not married to you yet so...
- Huh? - Anyway,
I'll go by myself today.
- See you. - Uh...
Is this your second?
Oh... These are for someone else.
Are you here for a checkup today?
Oh... well...
Yazawa-san?
Be quiet! Be quiet!
All of you, sit on the sofa!
W-wait a minute.
- Don't move! - Yazawa-san!
- Calm down. - You expect me to calm down?!
It's... it's all over me!
Maruoka.
Ah~ Don't get too reckless.
Don't press your luck.
If you keep on trying to do too much, you're gonna get crushed one of these days.
Are you talking about the arbitration? Or work?
Both.
Fujita Ladies' Clinic at 5-chome Shibaura
has been seized. Number of hostages unknown.
The culprit is believed to be the same man who attempted bank robbery
this morning in the jurisdiction of East Hiroo Precinct.
Aren't you going to the arbitration?
3 hours.
I'll take care of it in 3 hours.
I'll capture the culprit before arbitration.
Hurry up!
Is he a patient at this clinic?
Ah... Yes. He was been coming with his wife for infertility treatment.
Are you alright?
You're still in your first trimester, aren't you?
You there, stop talking!
This is all of them.
You sit down too.
Yazawa-san, why are you doing this...
It's your fault!
It might be a patient.
Say you're already closed for the day.
Hello.
Yes.
It's for you.
Put it on speaker.
This is Fukazawa from South Azabu Precinct.
Chief?
Stop this madness.
Release the hostages immediately.
Hostages?
Let's hear your demand.
Demand?
You seized the clinic with hostages. Surely you must have a demand.
Go ahead, tell me.
D-demand?
Demand...
I don't have any.
Move~!
Hey!
Shit~!
Please step back! Step back! Step back!
Excuse me. Maruoka Shunin!
- They're locked in there, right? - That's right.
- Aoi may be in there. - Why?
- She's getting a checkup at this clinic. - Checkup?
Haven't you heard that she's pregnant?
- Sasaki. - Yes.
- Can you give me a hand? - Sure.
It's all over for me...
Yazawa-san, calm down.
I'm sure you'll be blessed with a baby. Don't despair.
Hashizo, you wait here.
Wah! What are you doing, Shunin!
Wait... Shunin!
Blood! Blood! Blood!
- That hurt~. - Of course it would.
Huh? Hey...
Okay, I'm going.
Fujita Sensei here is a respected infertility treatment specialist.
Did you know that?
Thanks to Sensei's treatment, I finally...
Shut up!
This all happened because this so-called respected specialist's
- treatment didn't work. - It's true
our clinic couldn't produce the desired result.
But you're still trying at another hospital, aren't you?
You can't give up now.
Your wife's the one who's going through the painful treatment.
I know that!
Hey!
When I fell, the water broke~. Help me.
How far apart are your labor pains?
How's your condition?
Don't move!
I dunno what's going on. Hurry, help me.
That voice. Don't tell me...
I can't take it no more~.
Ah~ It hurts~.
My head, my stomach, everything hurts~.
Send her away!
Are you just gonna watch me die?
Tokyo people are so cold~. You're all monsters!
I'm putting a curse on you all.
I'm gonna curse you even in your sleep!!
The baby's about to be born!
If something happens to the baby, it's your fault!
That's right! Let her in!
- Let her in... - Are you sure?
I'm just letting you treat her.
Are you alright?
Ah~ Hurry up and let me in.
The baby's head might be out already.
Are you alright?
I hit my head when I fell...
Ah... it hurts!
I'm very sorry. Maruoka took it upon herself to slip in.
She will be severely reprimanded... I'm sorry.
I'm very sorry.
Chief!
Maruoka Shunin said to have this connected to the operations center.
Who the hell does she think she is!!
You should be able to tell what's going on in there with this.
Hara, set it up.
Um... Is there anything I can do to help?
Aoi's in there.
- What? Why's Aoi-chan in there? - She's pregnant.
What?!
- It's coming~! - Everything will be fine.
Yazawa-san, please step out.
Is she... alright?
That's what I'm going to find out now.
It's coming!
You're faking it, aren't you?
Who are you?
I've been caught?
How long do you think I've been doing this?
- It's connected. - Thanks.
Sorry everyone~.
It's coming through.
That disgusting voice must be Marukou.
Sh~!
She's settled down for the time being.
But labor may start at any time.
She needs absolute rest.
Excuse me for interrupting~.
Weren't you speaking in Kyushu dialect before?
Hakata dialect. That's where I'm from so when I get excited...
Shut up! Hurry up and tie her up!
Oh? Keiji-san*. (*detective)
Whaat?! Why is she exposing her.
She's probably planning to use Russell as a negotiator.
Besides, that will divert the criminal's attention from the other hostages.
Aoi-chan the negotiator... Is she gonna be alright?
She'll be fine. Shunin's with her.
Uh...let me think. You're the detective at South Azabu Precinct.
When I was there the other day to renew my driver's license,
you kindly showed me the way.
So you're a detective!
Well... I am in the Investigation Division, but I'm a babysitter.
Don't give me that bullshit!
To the person locked up in there.
Isn't money your objective?
You attempted bank robbery for money, right?
We'll get the money ready for you.
Release the hostages immediately!
Bank robbery... Did you kill someone?
I haven't killed anyone!
You screwed up robbing a bank so
you escaped in here. That's so dorky~!
Shut up!
It costs money to get infertility treatments. I needed that money!
Shit!
Can't a man even have a child if he's not wealthy!
Artificial insemination costs 10,000 to 30,000 yen each time.
In-vitro fertilization costs approximately 300,000 yen.
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is approximately 500,000 yen.
Furthermore, success isn't guaranteed.
These days you can get financial assistance for infertility treatments from local governments...
If you fail many times, that's just a drop in the bucket!
How can we continue without money or a job!
Oh, are you unemployed?
I've been going to "Hello Work" for six months
but there's nothing out there.
Does your wife know about that?
- She doesn't know anything. - Why don't you tell her?
I couldn't tell her.
If Maiko found out I didn't have money or a job,
she'd be sure to blame herself because she can't get pregnant.
How can I say that to Maiko who's
battling side effects of the treatments.
You should talk to your parents.
Parents want their children to rely on them no matter how old they get.
I would've already if we had them!
Neither one of us have parents.
I wanted Maiko to have a big family.
That's why I went through with the infertility treatments.
But look at me now.
I don't even have a job,
how am I supposed to pay back the 5 million yen loan.
I did it all for Maiko!
Alright! Then for your Maiko's sake,
let's ask for a ransom.
What?
It's the government's money, no need to hesitate.
Let's demand 50 million yen.
But 50 million...
Do you know how much Minato Ward hands out for child support?
600,000 yen's the limit for child birth expense no matter how much it actually costs.
Child raising allowance is 13,500 yen per child for a single parent household.
They call that measly subsidy measure to fight low birth rate.
Isn't that a laugh?
Yeah.
If they're really thinking about Japan's future,
infertility treatments, childbirth expenses, daycare, they should all be free.
Medical and education expenses until they're of age should be free too!
That's the least they can do.
Oh, we just happen to have a detective here.
Let's have her make the phone call.
Keiji-san, make the call.
50 million yen and a getaway car.
Who the hell are you?
I'm just another single mother.
I know all too well how heartless our government and society can be.
50 million yen? That's quite a sum. It's gonna take time...
But if this negotiation goes through,
the hostages will be released.
She must figure that 50 million yen is needed to get the culprit on board.
Here it comes. It's the negotiator.
Yes, his demand is 50 million yen and a getaway car.
- By 2:30. - What?
By 2:30?
I don't know if we can do it by 2:30, but we'll get it ready as soon as possible.
Hold on please.
He said he'll get it ready as soon as possible.
As soon as possible? Tell him by 2:30.
Why is Marukou even designating the time?
Well...that's because...
I'll get it done in 3 hours. I'll arrest the culprit before arbitration.
Hashizo-kun's arbitration is at 3:00 today.
Sorry to keep you waiting. Uh...
We'll do our best to get it ready by 2:30.
Anyway, we'll try to make it by arbitration.
Arbitration?
Ah... Yes. Thank you.
Then please call me when the cash and vehicle is ready.
The 50 million yen and getaway car will be here by 2:30.
So please promise us that you'll release the hostages.
Aoi, hang in there!
Why did you insist on 2:30?
We don't want this to drag on forever, do we?
In my condition, 2 hours the limit.
And if they don't make it by 2:30?
I'll think about it then. For now, we wait.
How can she hum a tune at a time like this.
But Hashizo-kun fell asleep listening to her hum.
She's not a mom for nothing.
Besides, the fact the she can hum means that
the criminal's relaxing his guard around her, right?
Don't let that kind of thing impress you.
None of this means anything until the hostages are released and the criminal arrested.
Yes... sorry.
Now, now...
Nevertheless, I'm relieved that Russell-kun and
her baby seem to be fine.
I'm sorry I didn't let you know.
Chief, SIT is here.
Alright.
Alright, I'll try to negotiate.
What happened?
Doesn't look like we can meet the deadline.
Answer it.
Yes.
We can't make it by 2:30.
What?
I don't know how much longer it'll take. I'm sorry.
Alright.
What happened?
He said they can't make it by 2:30.
When can we get out?
I didn't say you could move!
I've been thinking...
Do you really think you can get away?
What's she saying? I can't hear her!
I'm asking you if you think you can get away by yourself.
I won't know until I try!
I know how you can evade the police.
In other words, I can help you escape.
Because...
What's going on?
You're not pregnant...
Were you deceiving me? Who the hell are you?
Wait a minute. Hold on...
Can you take out my badge for me?
Let him see it.
You... You're a cop too?!
Come here! Hurry!
- What's she doing? - Is that part of her strategy too?
I don't know either anymore.
Why are you, the cop, letting me go?
Under these circumstances, you'll get shot by SIT anyway.
Are you on board? Or not?
What's your objective?
I get 10 percent of the ransom as compensation.
Oh, the hostages will get in the way so release them first, okay?
What are you gonna do after that?
I'll tell them that you got away.
Hold one hostage back just in case.
When the money and car are ready, I'm taking you with me.
What... Why me?
Leave the pregnant woman behind. She'd just slow us down.
I don't trust you completely yet.
So what's this plan of yours?
I can't tell you until that cop's outta here.
- Huh? - Why's that?
We don't want a cop listening in on our plan, do we?
Or do you want to kill her to shut her up?
Oh, okay.
You there, get out.
No, I'm staying.
Hurry up and get out, preggy.
Take Hashizo and go to the family court in my place.
No. Senpai, you go yourself.
You have a better arm to throw rotten eggs at the asshole.
Get there by 3:00. Don't be late.
No! I'm staying. You go, Senpai.
- Huh? - Senpai, you should go.
Besides... I'm the negotiator.
Let me finish my job.
Can't you listen to your senpai?
No I can't!
Please go for Hashizo-kun's sake.
Your boyfriend's waiting for you outside. Hurry up and go, preggy.
I told you, I'm not pregnant!
She's not...pregnant?
You idiot.
Ah~! Yes, I am.
I'm a hopeless idiot for not being able to tell Takuya that
I'm not pregnant and dragging out the lie.
I'm not talking about that. Don't get defiant on me, Liar.
How can I tell him. Takuya seems so happy.
I can't tell him when he's so happy.
No one wants to disappoint a loved one.
So that means you lied for your loved one's sake.
I don't know if it was for his sake...
So that kind of lie is acceptable.
In other words,
you're saying you lied because of your loved one.
That's not it! I never said I lied because of Takuya.
It's the same thing.
You conveniently blame other people, but
it's your life so everything's your own damn fault!
Take responsibility for your own actions!
We don't have time.
Let's decide fair and square with Look That Way.
Rock, paper, scissors.
Look that way!
Ouch~!
Okay. I win. Hurry up and go.
What was that?
Look That Way. Takako Thunder Special.
I can't see it, but it sounds wild. Thunder Special.
Chief! The hostages are coming out.
Secure them. Hara, keep track of what's going on inside.
There's still a detective and a pregnant woman inside.
Her name's Makita Miho-san.
- She's in her 26th week of pregnancy. - Alright. This way please.
- Takuya! - You're leaving right away, right?
Take care of Hashizo-kun.
Thanks.
Maruoka has a plan, right?
- I think so. - What's her plan?
- I haven't been told. - Chief, may I
- go help out with the hostages? - Yeah. Please do.
- Don't you have to go? - Oh... yes.
I've been told to be at the family court by 3:00.
Take it easy.
What?
Were they listening to us all this time?
That's why I've been talking in a low voice.
So what's the plan?
I'm going to have a broker arrange for fake passports
and tickets on a ship to the Philippines for you and your wife.
Can that person be trusted?
As long as you pay.
People betray people,
God betrays people at times, but
money never betrays people.
What are you gonna do?
The getaway car and 50 million yen are ready.
Release the remaining hostages immediately.
Release the remaining hostages immediately!
Don't shoot!
Put down your guns.
Don't follow me!
As soon as I see we're being followed, I'm killing the hostages!
- Marukou's been taken as a hostage. - So she failed after all.
Hurry up and get in!
Move it.
Track them on GPS. Emergency deployment to the surrounding area!
-They're driving in the city. -Does he have a hideout?
Seize him as soon as the transmitter stops.
"The other party, Kayama Daisuke
Date of birth September 21, 1984.
Same age as me?!
"Statement of Allegation. 1. Claimant's mother
met the other party on May 10, 2010, and
on February 10 of the following year, gave birth to their child,
the claimant.。
2. During that time, the other party was out of touch"...
We can't allow it.
We need a permission form to allow a representative other than an attorney
I will have to ask you to leave for today.
What!
Oh, what happened to Maruoka-san?
She couldn't come today due to urgent business.
I see. So she's performing her duty admirably.
Excuse me, but where's Hashizo-kun's father?
Daisuke? He's not coming today.
He's running a fever.
Daa~.
- She's lying? - Pardon me?
Oh, nothing. So you came in his place?
No. Actually, I wanted to talk to Maruoka-san.
You're her colleague, as I recall?
Yes. I'm Nagashima.
Ah, yes. Nagashima-san.
Do you have time?
Ah~!! His accomplice had a car ready and he switched cars!
It could get tricky if he did meet up with an accomplice.
Even that Marukou screwed up this time, huh?
That's what she gets for being so cocky with her No. 1 arrest rate.
So it's farewell to South Azabu Precinct for her.
Screw up once and she resigns.
The top allowed her to bring her kid to work under that condition.
You mean she wasn't getting preferential treatment?
What? She wasn't?
She got into this big fight. They got their eyes on her.
She's just making it hard on herself. What a fool!
Chief Fukazawa, there's a call for you from First Division.
Thanks.
What are we supposed to do now that we know, huh?
What? You agree to acknowledge him?
Yes.
- Thank you very much! - However, there's one condition.
Condition?
In exchange for acknowledging Hashizo-kun,
we're asking for his custody.
In short, we want him to be a part of the Kayama family.
Does that mean...
in exchange for acknowledging him as Daisuke-san's son,
you're taking Hashizo-kun away from Senpai?
I wouldn't call it taking away...
I don't think it's a bad deal for Maruoka-san either.
What do you mean?
She decided to have the child on her own, yet she wants him to be acknowledged.
It must mean that she doesn't have
the confidence to raise him by herself after all.
Maruoka-san's line of work is much too dangerous.
She doesn't have the financial capability to provide for proper child care as well.
More importantly, what about
Maruoka-san, herself, as a mother?
Taking a child out to the field for crime investigation
is much too preposterous!
But the next minute, she lets someone else attend to her business.
Maruoka-san is not qualified to be a mother.
She's certainly not normal.
She's abnormal.
She claims she's a detective, but
I bet she's flighty at work, isn't she?
Like these office girls who think their job's a stepping stone.
Excuse me?
There's no way she can be a detective and a mother at the same time!
Normally, that's not possible.
Um...
Yes?
Can you take back what you just said?
I'm not sure what you mean...
Take it back!
I'm sorry.
But you're wrong if you think she's flighty at work.
Please don't misunderstand that part.
Sure, Senpai does crazy things
and she's a weirdo who cuts open her forehead just to deceive a criminal.
I lost count how many times she almost got me killed.
But Senpai takes responsibility for her own life.
That's why she's dead serious about both her job and raising her child!
She's not flighty at all!
Please take back what you said.
Say, why don't you give this pregnant lady a break?
She's looking pale. Have her rest in the other room. Don't want her listening in either.
Your name's Shima Daijiro from today. Your hometown is Tosu in Shiga-ken.
Shima?
Your parents died when you were a child,
a lonely man who grew up not knowing the warmth of a family.
You're a pitiable man who
came all the way to the Philippines in your quest to have a child,
in your quest to have a family.
What's all this about?
If you want to get treatment there, you have to be a different person.
Actually, it'd be even better if you altered your fingerprint and got plastic surgery too.
Thanks for your patronage.
I can escape for sure, right?
This is kinda unbelievable.
You're the one that's unbelievable.
It sure took you long enough to let go of that gun. I've been waiting all this time!
I'm gonna kill you.
What happened to our plan?
- Huh...? - There was a special event
where I could throw rotten eggs at this joker, but
I couldn't make it because you dillydallied around!
I'm pissed off!
This is crazy... In the first place, can a cop do this?
There's plenty of ways I can dispose of your body.
Please spare me. Maiko... Maiko will be all alone!
Ah~! Maiko again.
Listen to me. This all happened because you kept on
blaming Maiko for everything.
If you want to blame someone, blame Maiko.
Spare me! I want to start life all over with Maiko.
Oh, before you go to the other world, I'll give you this.
"You're a fool. Misfortune is nobody's fault.
I can't believe you anymore.
I can't keep up with you.
I won't allow you to set foot in this house.
Go to the Philippines or wherever you want. Maiko."
Your wife is admirable. She doesn't blame other people.
What the hell is this...
I did everything for Maiko.
If she dumps me, I won't have anything left.
Yes, you do.
You'll have one fine criminal record.
I don't care anymore. Go ahead and kill me.
Are you sure?
I serve no purpose in being alive.
Alright then.
Oh, here's my parting gift to you.
"Congratulations. You're in your 9th week of pregnancy..."
Looks like she got pregnant naturally. Miracles do happen, huh?
I'm...
a father...
That's right.
Arrest me.
I want to atone for my crime and see my child.
You read the letter, didn't you?
I don't think your wife's gonna forgive you.
That's not true, I know Maiko will!
Quit relying on others!
This is the result of your own action.
Someone who can't even decide how to live his own life
can't expect good things to happen either.
Sorry, but you'll have to watch over your wife and kid from heaven.
Shut up...
Shut up, shut up! I'm gonna be a father!
I don't care what anyone says, I'm gonna be a father!
Hurry up and arrest me!
Even if she doesn't forgive me,
I'm gonna spend the rest of my life apologizing to her!
Go right ahead. If that's what makes you happy.
Even if you're a felon and an asshole,
you're still a father to that child.
Senpai, that woman's the worst of the worse.
I guess that means you didn't meet the father.
I figured as much.
How can you stay so calm and collected?
Do you know what she said about you?
- Oh, where's the formula? - Oh, at that clinic.
I swear, you're useless. Go get it tomorrow, you hear?
Yes...but more importantly, the custody.
- Oh, the gift collection box. - Wait!
Senpai, are you listening?
Are you going to let a woman like that have Hashizo-kun?
I wonder how much is in here~.
Let's stand firm and fight them. I'll cooperate.
Whaat~! No rustling or jingling.
What tightwads~.
Senpai?
Too dorky.
What did you say about the gift from our heart!
- Shirato-san chose it, you know! - It's darn cute!
- What's cute about it. - That's so rude!
- If you're gonna gripe, give it back! - Once it's in my hands, I don't give it back.
Argh~! You still piss me off. I still don't like you!
- Give it back! Give it back! - Hey! I said
I'm not giving it back!
You made a grand statement that you'll get it done
in 3 hours. Look how long it took you!
That was the plan. Plans can change.
Can we meet tonight to talk?
I'll tell him honestly.
Sorry I'm late.
- I have something to tell you too... - You're not... pregnant, are you?
Huh? Why...
You're not, are you?
I'm sorry.
I can't trust you anymore.
Good bye.
Takuya.
Everything's cute on you, Hashizo.
Hashizo.
I'm sorry.
That's strawberry.
You want a strawberry?
