What we're looking at,
are fragments of the truth.
What you've been told is far from the truth.
I only want to know the absolute truth.
I've had enough and seen my limit of...
the distorted truth.
Two deceased persons were found at Ground Zero.
The first victim was Kuraki Chihiro, 35 years old, former PSB officer.
That's unmistakably my wife.
Tell me about him.
Zero mistakes, ultra-elite Public Safety officer.
Anyone I hate more than female detectives or PSB detectives, it's someone who's both.
I don't think you being at the site of the explosion was coincidence.
The person I was tailing was a man named Shingai Kazuhiko.
Do you know what your name is?
I don't know.
Did Shingai really lose his memory? There wasn't a mistake?
Shingai is a professional killer.
I'm sure God had good reasons to keep you alive.
Thank you.
He was hired by a large company that specializes in security.
What am I?
You were the perpetrator of the bombing attack!
Dharma?
This man has been sighted in Japan.
Inside dreams.
What would you do if she asked the police to find me?
Even if word got out...
Do I really have a younger sister?
Where could Shingai have gone?
Somewhere he can breathe easy, I guess.
Like a beast.
Do you think that the explosion and your wife's death were related?
It would be a serious conflict of interest for this investigation.
There's no problem if I continue as a private husband?

Many of those caught up in the terrorist attack have been deeply scarred.
Miyuki is one of those victims.
Doctor,
about what that girl is drawing...
Those pictures?
Yes.
What are they of?
I don't understand them, either.
I've been told Miyuki saw things at the scene of the explosion.
I became curious, so I asked the police to inquire ...
At the end of this footage?
Nothing.
Why not?
The girl was looking there but there is no footage beyond that point.
Miyuki says she saw a monster.
A monster...
I wonder what she really saw?
Could it have been an after-effect of the incident?
That is a possibility,
still, no matter how many times...
Watch!
Hey, it disappeared again!
That makes the eighth time.
There's no surveillance footage of the area that girl's looking at.
Was that caused by the concussion?
Even so, there were too many camera's to --
Someone erased them.
Guess we'll have to search for something like the Zapruder film.
What's that?
Huh?
You don't know?
Of course I don't.
You should!
Za- Zapu - or something?
Zapruder film.
What is that? Spit it out.
It's the most famous footage captured by an ordinary person.
I still don't know what it is, tell me.
It's of the moment President Kennedy was assassinated.
It's good.
Don't you like it?
No, it's delicious.
Upset stomach?
I'm still in shock.
About what?
This is my first experience of being tailed, then invited out.
Our Public Safety Bureau way of doing things, right?
What are you after?
Eating a delicious meal with you.
During the bombing, your wife and her friends were accosted by a homeless man,
Numata Yoshichi.
It's said he told someone details of the incident,
then that person assaulted him.
That sounds like a painful accident.
It wasn't an accident.
Is that what Numata said?
No.
Since Numata committed the crime of purse snatching,
he won't file a complaint or an official statement.
Isn't that good?
If he learns his lesson,
he won't pick squabbles with people on the sidewalks from now on.
The one who assaulted Numata was-
Akeboshi Miki, 31 years old.
Born in a Tokyo hospital.
Father was a PSB officer, mother was a teacher.
Has a sister who is a veterinarian.
Despite your position as an inspector,
you shouldn't be able to view PSB officers private information.
Seeing things others don't is what we do for a living.
You ran track and field in school. Placed second in the Nationals as sprinter.
In university, you not only majored in psychology but graduated top of your class.
And then become a police officer with the PSB.
You currently don't have a lover.
That last part shouldn't be on my résumé.
That last part was intuition.
Even if you investigated my whole personal history,
you won't ever find a single interesting thing about me.
That might be true.
You have a lot of spare-time, don't you inspector?
Yes.
Because I do, I was able to find out one more thing.
When you were in high school,
your father went missing while on an undisclosed assignment.
Information about that matter barely exists.
I too, must go by evidence.
So why?
This is something which does not concern you, inspector.
That so?
When you think about it,
you becoming a PSB officer was quite remarkable.
A person of your standing would normally seek something else.
Isn't that because your father...
Because he went missing as a PSB officer.
I've thought this over. Only two possibilities come to mind.
He was tripped up in some incident, of which there --
I'm leaving.
Running away, huh?
You are being childishly provocation.
Well it has become provoking.
What has?
What do you want from me?
What you know.
Tell me about every bit of info related to the bombing.
Understood.
I have information about Shingai Kazuhiko
after he vanished following the bombing.
Tell me.
He's a killer.
He's also evil.
I already know that.
A TBS & WOWOW Drama Co-Production
'Shrike' Season 1 - Cries of the Night
I'm Kuraki of Police Headquarters.
How much time can you spare me?
We're busy, later.
I have no need for you two.
What is it?
If you could keep it brief.
Shingai Kazuhiko, an employee of yours has gone missing.
His whereabouts had been in Ishikawa Prefecture,
though he has since disappeared.
Any idea where he might be?
Who is this person called Shingai Kazuhiko?
I'm not in a position to know the names of all my employees so I don't know.
There you have it, leave.
You know Akai, don't you?
Where is he?
Where's Akai?
Akai said he was going overseas...
Don't make me laugh.
Hey!
Nakagami, calm down.
Did you have Akai kill Shingai?
Mr. Kuraki,
you're with the PBS, right?
That's correct.
I hate it when the PSB does reckless investigating.
Once you follow official procedure, I will listen to your story.
Meanwhile you refuse interviews from those who do follow procedures, yes?
We're busy-
I'm not talking to you, shut up!
I have plans, so I'll leave it at this.
Never appear before my eyes again.
Why do you keep pursuing this?
Stop being irresponsible and admit it.
You were at the scene of the bombing because you were on a case, right?
You're a persistent cop.
I was only there by coincidence.
The PSB is full of liars!
Footage from surveillance cameras at the site of the bombing has been erased.
Are you going to keep quiet about this?
Other than working under Superintendent Wakamatsu for your "case,"
why aren't you involved in this investigation?
Someone who witnessed the explosion ought to be helpful in any inquiry.
I'm on another assignment.
What are you hiding?
Don't think you can get away from me, girl!
Having you call me girl makes my day.
If you'll excuse me.
We're from Minami Police Station.
You're Mr. Higashi Kazuo aren't you?
Inspector Kuraki!
What's your intention?
I hurried over here after I heard Higashi was apprehended.
Don't lie.
If he is arrested on different charges,
our investigation will be terminated.
Why haven't you searched his residences?
He's in possession of a handgun.
Even if we wanted to unnerve him,
Higashi's not easily intimidated.
That means the police are under pressure too.
Inspector.
Who is backing those guys?
Mafia?
Financial circles?
Inspector!
My team is watching him.
Don't stick your hand in someone else's cookie jar.
You'll hinder our investigation.
I'm famished.
Huh?
Fancy something to eat?

To my beloved mother. - Tae Niyori
Papa, I hope you're well!
Did I really do this?
You've seen the surveillance camera footage?
Yes.
And the altered sections?
Police Lieutenant Osugi
said that some surveillance footage had been erased.
What do you think about that?
Haven't a clue.
Although,
I imagine it's only a specific place where the footage was cut.
Yet I don't know who did that.
Doesn't someone from Athena Security or the PSB come to mind?
Could be a coincidence.
I see.
Though it might be Athena Security's doing.
Why do you think they would erase it?
Me? I don't know.
It could have revealed things someone wanted hidden, right?
That might be.
Where's my house?
Tell me!
Mr. Shingai?
I was so worried!
Where have you been?
Was it Mr. Akai?
That man told me you had gone away for a month.
I thought you had gotten involved in some sort of trouble.
Then that Akai guy came again two days ago,
gave me his business card.
Mr. Akai did?
He said if a person who resembled you shows up,
"contact me and do it ASAP."
Huh? Um...
I thought someone other than Akai would drop by.
Well, I'd notice if someone did...
No one else came by, like my sister or someone?
sister?
Yes.
No, she didn't stop by.
You've changed your look, maybe.
And it's been over a month…
Ah, Miss Kurano,
I don't have much time, could you give me a duplicate key?
Oh, sure that's fine...
Lower your waists!
Now alternate.
Begin!
Keep it up!
We've received word Shingai returned to his apartment.
I've released the cleaners.
Ah!
Miss Akeboshi?
Mr. Shingai has returned.
Really?
Okay, I understand.
Has something come up?
No, it's nothing.
Because I have an ongoing assignment,
would you excuse me?
Don't whack him until you recover the IC chip.
Nakagami!
How did you get in here?
For a security company, you sure have sorry guards.
Shameful, isn't it?
I'll double them.
Shingai resurfaced, right?
Talking about that guy again?
I know nothing about him.
What's an IC chip?
Mr. Kuraki,
You don't know what's beyond here.
Beyond what?
It's a world line.
Yours and mine.
You...
cannot pass beyond that limit.
I look forward to seeing what will happen now I've passed that limit.
Go, enjoy it.
You abnormal bastard.
Shit!
Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit.
Bastard.
Despite being high-up in the PSB.
His arrogance pisses me off! Shit!
You're a stubborn fellow.
What's inside the IC chip?
What could you be referring to?
You people erased part of the surveillance footage, didn't you?
You love questions, don't you?
For a security company,
it would be fairly simple to erase footage without leaving a trace.
I wonder if that's even possible.
Don't lie.
I dislike being called a liar by one who frames others and has them arrested on fake charges.
Why do you think I was involved in the bombing?
Do you have any proof?
I wonder what Shingai Kazuhiko will say once we apprehend him.
Shingai has surfaced.
Without a doubt, it's Shingai Kazuhiko.
He eluded his attackers.
Then escaped.
I'm looking to confirm.
Who is that guy? Why are you people chasing him?
Hey!
I will arrest Shingai.
Give it up.
That so?
Give it your best shot.
Why did you hire Shingai to kill Kakehi?
What are you referring to?
Was it you who ordered him to set off that bomb?
I'm curious as to why...
why you're so involved with the bombing inquiry?
Why did my wife have to die?
That's the only thing I want to know.
And what will you do if you find out?
If you can answer that,
Will you be saved?
If you're with the PSB, you'd understand right?
Some truths, you are better off not knowing.
I want to know it.
The absolute truth.
The absolute truth?
Is it that amusing?
Yes, it is.
It's awesome.
What truths are there be in this world besides fabricated ones?
Underneath this case might be a vast, evil conspiracy.
Who is backing you?
For your sake, it's best you don't know.
Lieutenant Osugi of the CIB's Division One?
He noticed the presence of Shingai Kazuhiko.
That's unexpected.
I hadn't realized he was following me.
That's not a problem.
We might reverse this to our favor. Use him.
And Inspector Kuraki?
He's relentlessly hounding Higashi.
Don't you think he's reckless, taking things too far?
Yes.
He's a runaway train.
Is it okay to leave him be?
You know where my sister is living, don't you?
I'm not sure, but I think she lives in East Nakano.
Could you be Miss Hiromi's older brother?
Yes, that's right.
Your faces look so alike.
Oh yeah?
I'm Kaneko, I live next door.
Since your sister is often gone from her place recently,
I've been worried.
Is she still out?
Actually, I'm also looking for my sister.
Huh?
Um... Won't you come in for a bit?
Since I have questions about my sister.
Alright.
Through here.
Completely translated and timed by Miharu-Rush. NOT FOR Selling, Renting, Streaming or Profiteering! Please support the official release if possible.
Um.
What kind of relationship do you have with my sister?
We go to the market together, though she's not very talkative.
A month ago,
the key to my apartment was broken,
and your sister bought me a replacement.
The next day, I decided I'd pay her back,
though she hasn't returned.
Which brings us to now.
Well, I don't know much either.
Huh?
So, has she disappeared?
Do the police --
They've been notified.
Um...
What kind of person is my sister?
Huh?
What do you mean by that?
Well, the truth is...
Truth is, I lost my memory in an accident and I can't remember much.
Shouldn't you be in a hospital?
I've already been discharged.
As for memory loss, the doctor said it was only temporary.
Is that so?
Yes.
That's why I want to hear about my younger sister from you.
Well, she was only an acquaintance...
So, that's it?
Um.
Have you ever seen me before?
Have you ever seen me someplace with my sister?
I have seen you with her twice.
Twice?
Yes, if I recall correctly.
Something wrong?
No.
Before you said "your faces look alike", right?
If you saw me before, then shouldn't you have noticed?
Huh?
Oh, about that,
since you always have your hood covering your face...
Sorry for saying something misleading.
Sounds like someone has returned to your apartment, yeah?
You...
That was a month ago!
I see, and who paid the rent?
The rent wasn't paid, that's the problem!
I see.
Were complaints made?
Complaints? I don't think there were...
Good work.
Police...
You know about me, right?
Yes.
Go ahead, say my name.
Shingai Kazuhiko.
Is it true you lost your memory?
I'm the one asking questions.
How did you know I was here?
Because I scoped out your movements.
If that is so,
how long have I been watched?
You really remember nothing?
I told you who was asking the questions, right?
I understand.
You are being targeted by a certain organization.
They've killed people.
The name of that organization is Athena Security, right?
That's right.
You remember that much, at least.
Was I really the one who triggered the Tokyo bombing?
Did you come here to arrest me?
If that was true, I would have jumped you the moment you entered.
What exactly is your goal?
That bunch is looking for you.
If losing your memory is a factor,
you're better off surrendering to the police before those guys catch you.
That gang won't stop even if it takes forever for you to remember,
then they will silence you.
Shut it!
Tell me about my younger sister.
Even though you made up that story, you know a little about her, yes?
I really don't know.
I was only watching from afar.
Since I investigated where you lived,
I found out your sister lived here.
Did you really see me together with my sister somewhere?
Yes.
Though only once.
Do I really look like my sister?
What do you mean?
Weren't you looking properly at my little sister's face?
Your faces do look similar, though...
I would be able to tell you apart if you stood next to each other.
I see.
If you truly have amnesia,
you need to be hospitalized.
If it's not treated quickly --
So you can handcuff me, keep me under arrest, until my amnesia is cured, right?
That mob boss will never accept that.
Besides, I think I'll remember who am I, by myself.
For example, being guilty of the Tokyo bombing, right?
You didn't do that.
What?
I wasn't responsible for the bombing?
No.
Then why are you targeting me?
Do as I suggest.
Because we might be able to find and protect your sister.
Coming up on Shrike...
Next episode...
Rumor has it that the reason your late wife quit the PSB, was due
to her participation in an assignment five years ago.
Just what happened?
From here, I'm heading towards Tokyo.
Thank you so much.
Tell us how he killed them.
When one considers if you're lying,
another possibility appears.
Even if we caught him, it would be pointless if he cannot remember.
Dharma might have appeared in my wife's dream.
It seems I'm a mysterious woman tailored to your needs?
Would you mind if I borrowed this for a while?
During the time you saw Kakehki, Shingai might have intervened.
Nooooo!
Did you have a nightmare?
PSB Kuraki is a eyesore, Isn't he?
He's like a fly.
Ensure he can't fly about for a while.
Understood.
Nakagami, I'm counting on you.
