(PREVIOUSLY) So you're the chief who abuses his power.
We're police officers.
We can't protect them if we don't trust them.
The chief is always giving his best for the sake of the citizens.
I'm glad you're fine.
You're all pawns!
A police officer isn't a pawn.
I think the person who protected this city was the chief's father.
Senior, do you know the chief's father?
Sakurai Shuhei...
Your last names weren't the same so I didn't realise it.
He was your father, wasn't he?
Elite bureaucrats killed your father!
Why did you choose to become one yourself?
I changed my last name after my mother remarried.
I'm asking you why you became an elite bureaucrat.
Don't you find it unforgivable?
Sakurai-san was sacrificed due to their wrong decision.
(KITAMACHI POLICE STATION, METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT)
Excuse me. Sir...
(I'LL BE BACK SOON. TOYAMA)
Again?
Handa-san, what's the matter?
Chief, actually...
Wait. Excuse me.
Why are you so dirty? Where did you go?
I helped someone find her cats. There were five of them.
I didn't know there are so many rare variants of cats.
I see.
Chief, well...
I apologise for being impolite, but can I ask you a question?
Go ahead.
Chief, do you have a girlfriend?
I do.
Do you plan on marrying her?
We can't get married.
My job is my girlfriend.
I see.
Don't tell me...
you want me to go on an arranged date?
I'll pass. I don't plan to get married yet.
Well...
Actually... Well...
Among all the police chiefs in this area,
you're the only one still unmarried.
- Just me? - Yes.
Well, I don't have to be the same like them.
Actually,
it's not really nice to turn this blind date down.
Pardon?
It's the daughter of...
the chief secretary of the Metropolitan Police Department.
The chief secretary entrusted me to get this done.
Please just meet her once.
You might change your mind.
I don't really know the chief secretary though.
The future of Kitamachi Police Station is on the line.
My future is also on the line!
I'm begging you. Please go!
Just this once then.
Really?
Since you promised him,
we must get it done.
Yes, we must get it done!
Yes. I'll take a look at her photo.
Here you go.
The chief is going on an arranged date?!
It's the daughter of...
the chief secretary of the Metropolitan Police Department.
A political marriage?
This is going to help Kitamachi Police Station.
It's going to help the chief's career too.
So he's going on an arranged date with a beautiful lady?
Wait, we still don't know if she's a beauty.
I'm sure she's a beauty! How annoying!
Well, what does this all have to do with you?
Anyway, she must be a beauty!
Darn it!
It has nothing to do with our work!
Matsu and Moto-san, go investigate the rape case at that bistro.
- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir.
Mizu and Hanaoka, interrogate the robber we arrested this morning!
- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir.
Sir, please assign me a case as well.
You...
will be on standby here.
But...
Aikawa-kun!
Can you come with me? Only you can help me with this matter.
Only me?
Yes.
I need someone who understands the tastes of women.
What is it about?
Aikawa-kun, I'm counting on you.
Please excuse me now.
Yes, Sir.
Should I go with blue or another colour?
This yellow one might look low-profile, but it's quite bright.
No, I still can't give up this refreshing blue colour.
I think you should go with this yellow one.
No, a man should wear a blue necktie.
Go with yellow!
- Blue! - Yellow!
I still think I should go with blue.
("A GUIDE TO BLIND DATES")
You seem to be looking forward to this arranged date.
Handa-san wanted me to read that.
I can't do anything disrespectful to the lady.
Who is the lady you're going to meet?
Aikawa-san!
This goes really well with my suit. You're very good at this.
It suits you well.
I should buy a new pair of shoes too.
He's enjoying this.
What?
Kin-san is going on a blind date?
He even bought a new pair of shoes. A new pair of shoes!
I see now. You're jealous.
Now wait a moment! What did you mean by that?
That's because... Right?
Yes.
I definitely won't feel jealous because of my superior!
I wonder what kind of a person she is.
Let's go on with the next pose.
This easy sitting pose will clear away distractions and troubles.
Distractions.
Troubles.
No, I still can't give up this refreshing blue colour.
I think you should go with this yellow one.
No, a man should wear a blue necktie.
I should buy a new pair of shoes too.
Your father...
Sakurai-san was sacrificed due to their wrong decision.
A new distraction?
(13TH NOVEMBER. AN AUSPICIOUS DAY)
(9:30 AM)
This suit looks very good on you.
I don't dress like this usually. It feels rather weird.
But that coat is a little...
This won't do?
Its colour is a little...
Really? It doesn't go well with my suit?
I'm sorry! Are you okay?
I'm sorry.
(KOYAMA INDUSTRIES)
Please forgive me.
Don't worry about it.
By the way, are you a police officer here?
No, he's...
You'll do. Please introduce me...
to the police chief of this station.
- Kin-san! - Kin-san!
We heard about it. You're going on an arranged date?
Here. I bought this just for you.
This is a talisman which ensures a good relationship.
- Thank you. - Good luck.
Right. I heard you helped the old lady with her cats.
Excuse me. It's time he leaves for his arranged date.
- You're going to that now? - Yes.
We'll let you go then.
Good luck. We're rooting for you.
Thank you very much.
- Good luck! - See you!
See you.
Hey...
Let's go. We must hurry.
But where's that man?
He'll come again if there's anything important.
We must focus on the arranged date right now!
No, wait. I must listen to the citizens' troubles.
Forget about him. Let's go, Chief!
(10:30 AM)
Today is an auspicious day.
The weather is fine too.
Goodness. What a nice day for the chief to meet your daughter.
I see.
So you're Toyama Kinshiro-kun, the chief of Kitamachi Police Station.
Now that I have a close look, you're a nice looking young man.
Thank you for your compliments, Sir.
Osakabe-kun told me...
you're a motivated and steadfast young man.
That's why you chose me?
My wife passed away a long time ago.
I delayed my daughter's marriage...
for quite some time,
but I've finally found a man who is a good match for her.
But we haven't even met yet.
Chief Secretary, you really are such a good judge of character!
He's exactly the same as me when I was young!
Me too!
What's going on?
I apologise but the chief isn't around.
Someone is not abiding by the garbage disposal rules.
I want to thank Kin-san for finding my lost cats.
- But I told you he's not around. - They're all here to see the chief.
My goodness. He just enjoys taking on those insignificant cases.
Why did they choose to come when he's not around?
Hello? This is the Criminal Division of Kitamachi Police Station.
The chief?
We have to handle them now.
While the chief is on an arranged date with a beauty.
- Hey, Matsu, give her a hand. - Yes, Sir.
Everyone, please wait patiently. We'll see you in order.
I apologise, but please leave for today.
The chief will be back tomorrow.
- I'm sorry. - But I waited for so long.
I need to see the chief.
Pardon?
I heard the chief here would listen to a complaint no matter what.
Chief is on an arranged...
I mean, he's not at the station currently.
I'm looking for someone.
If it's a missing person, someone other than the chief can help you.
I'm running out of time. Call him immediately!
Anyway, I want to talk to the chief.
She should be here soon.
Let me introduce her. This is my daughter.
I am Oohashi Kanako.
I apologise for making you wait.
Nice to meet you. I am Toyama Kinshiro.
They make up less than 0.1 percent of...
the total number of police officers.
They have a high chance of becoming the superiors of the organisation.
We call them...
elite bureaucrats.
CAREER: OFFBEAT CHIEF POLICE Episode 6
Subtitles by VIU
Ripped and synced by gabbyu@subscene
Goodness,
your daughter looks very beautiful in a kimono. She's so pretty.
She might not look like it, but she looks after our family well.
She cooks, does the laundry and cleans the house.
She takes good care of our house in my wife's stead.
I'm envious of you.
It might not be suitable for me to say this as her father,
but she's an obedient daughter who never made us worry.
She never even had a fight with me.
You're right, Chief Secretary.
Well, what do you think?
Let's leave the young ones alone so they can have a chat.
I agree with you.
Well then, we'll excuse ourselves.
Toyama-kun, I'm counting on you.
I'll excuse myself.
Please come this way, Chief Secretary.
Thank you.
Well...
This restaurant is very peaceful, don't you think?
Kanako-san?
You're going to turn me down anyway, aren't you?
You had to come here because you're my father's subordinate.
I've been rejected 99 times.
This is my 100th arranged date.
Please calm down. Okay?
The Oohashi family is a family of police officers.
Since a long time ago, Father...
decided to marry me to an elite bureaucrat.
I gave up everything...
and learnt to be a housewife.
Even so, I can't live up to his expectations.
I'm sure...
I won't be able to live up to his expectations my whole life!
It's easy to get over anxious when others have expectations of you.
In my opinion, because you're over anxious,
you can't show your outstanding sides to the other party.
There's nothing outstanding about me.
I think you're a kind lady who has your father's interests at heart.
You're the first person who has ever said so.
Wait... Kanako-san?
Excuse me. Please allow me to serve your meal now.
Please excuse me!
It's okay.
Please serve our meal.
Kanako-san,
please eat something and cheer up.
When will the chief be back?
I'm not sure if he'll be back today.
If someone's missing,
lodge a report with the Community Safety Division first.
- Wait... - Please come with me.
No, wait...
We didn't get any useful information from the neighbours.
We also didn't manage to contact the woman he was living with.
How about you, Moto-san?
He has no other friends.
All right. Continue with your investigations.
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
(RECORD ROOM)
(MURDER CASE OF A POLICE OFFICER OF KITAMACHI POLICE STATION)
If they hadn't made that wrong decision,
Sakurai-san wouldn't have been shot by the criminal.
(ESCORT DOCUMENT)
Don't you find it unforgivable?
"Around 3 PM on 5th November 1991 in Tokyo, the suspect..."
Don't stick your nose in that case.
I've already told you that.
I apologise, but I want to find out...
what happened to the chief's father.
It's all written here.
Sakurai-san was shot...
and was sacrificed when he was investigating...
a shooting case 25 years ago.
When we found the murderer who had fled,
he had already committed suicide.
Are you satisfied now?
But you said he died due to a wrong decision by elite bureaucrats.
25 years ago, the chief, who was an elite bureaucrat,
did not permit him to arm himself with his pistol...
when he was investigating the case.
But the criminal possessed a pistol.
If he hadn't made that wrong decision,
Sakurai-san wouldn't have been shot by the criminal.
I have something I must talk with the chief about.
You again? We told you already, the chief is...
Please find someone for me.
Have you gone to the Community Safety Division?
I have, but they would not accept my case.
They should have accepted the case if a family member lodges a report.
So you're not a family member?
What's your relationship with that person?
If you won't give us information, how do we investigate it?
Hello? This is Kitamachi Police Station.
Please. I'm running out of time. Please help me find someone.
If the Community Safety Division...
won't accept your case, neither can we.
I just want to talk with the chief!
Why do you insist on meeting the chief?
That's because...
You don't like okra?
Yes. I've tried many times, but I just can't swallow them.
By the way, Kanako-san, do you really want to get married?
You said you had given everything up.
So you must have something else you want to do, right?
I'm running out of time.
Please come again tomorrow.
Excuse me!
This is the knife we confiscated from the robber.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thanks.
Hey, wait! What are you doing?
Calm down. Don't do this!
Give it back to us, all right?
Aikawa!
Don't move!
No one move!
Let him go!
- Don't move! - Back off!
Hey, what's going on?
Don't come near me! I'll stab him if you do!
Wait! Calm down.
Don't order me!
I just want to listen to your request.
I tried to tell you, but you weren't listening!
I'll listen to you!
So calm down first.
Let me ask you again.
What is your request?
What should we do so that you'll let him go?
Bring this woman to me. Right now!
(11:45 AM)
Actually, I've always wanted to go overseas to do volunteer work.
This dream doesn't suit me, does it?
What a splendid dream.
Someone like me can never realise this dream.
I can imagine it.
I can imagine you teaching and cooking for them overseas.
Me? Overseas?
I'm sure many people will be encouraged by your warm smile.
No, that's impossible.
I've never studied abroad nor have I worked before.
I think it suits you though.
I'm just a woman who follows the path my father set out for me.
That's exactly why I think it suits you.
You're doing your best to fulfill your father's expectations...
because you treasure him.
Always smiling, kindness...
and...
the courage to step forward.
If the chief marries the daughter of the chief secretary,
I, who made this marriage happen,
will become the next chief.
We have trouble!
What's wrong with you? Why didn't you knock?
A man with a knife is holding someone hostage...
at the Criminal Division.
A hostage situation?
Hey.
What's going on?
He's over there.
He wants to meet the chief.
It's that man?
You know him?
Yes. Come here.
He bumped into the chief this morning.
But why does he want to meet the chief?
We want to know that too!
He wants us to find this woman.
But he doesn't seem to be a family member of hers.
What?
Hey.
What's your relationship with this woman?
Do you hold a grudge against her?
That woman ruined my life!
She conned me out of five million yen.
Do you mean it was marriage scam?
Shut up!
Don't you care about him?
Bring that woman to me!
Even if it's really a case of a marriage scam,
we can't hand that woman to him.
And we have no other information apart from this photo.
We can only call the chief now.
No!
Chief is on an arranged date with the daughter of the chief secretary.
This isn't the time to be on an arranged date!
He's on an arranged date?
Stop lying to me!
If I can hear children in need say...
"Its delicious. I'm full..."
Kanako-san?
Are you okay?
He's not answering my call.
Subdue him.
How should we subdue him?
Come here.
I'll be the hostage.
Arrest him when he's exchanging me for Matsu.
This happened at our division.
We'll settle it even though the chief isn't here.
Understood?
Calm down and listen to me!
Wait!
Senior, you should calm down first.
Don't shout. Don't provoke him.
I apologise for scaring you.
Please listen to me.
What is it?
I'll be the hostage.
As the senior officer, I can't let anything happen to my subordinate.
You're so big and tall. Who would want you as a hostage?
Calm down.
I'm the oldest here. I'll be your hostage.
I'll be the safest for you.
I don't need the sympathy of an old man.
We're about the same age.
Our generation went through a lot while job hunting...
due to the collapse of the economy.
I went through the same difficulties as you...
You're wearing a wedding ring. You won't understand my feelings.
Go back to your wife!
Look, I'm single just like you.
And I have more experience in being betrayed by women.
They took advantage of me. I just can't meet my Miss Right.
Don't compare me with you.
I'll be the hostage.
You're actually really strong!
Stay out of this!
But...
Let me go already.
Senior Minami, please deal with this matter well.
Make sure neither the superiors nor the press find out about this.
Can you keep quiet, Deputy Chief?
He's the deputy chief?
All right. I agree to a hostage exchange.
But...
I want you.
- Me? - You!
If the deputy chief is in danger, the chief would rush back, won't he?
Come here!
We'll save both of you when you're being exchanged.
But this is too...
- I'm counting on you. - Go.
Understood.
Handa-kun!
Chief Secretary!
I came to visit my future son-in-law's workplace.
Wait...
- Chief Secretary! - Who are you?
Call your chief.
Tell him I have the chief secretary.
I'm glad you're fine.
That was scary.
I thought I was going to die.
You only live once.
It's a waste.
You must say what you think.
Because you never know...
when you'll be separated from the person you treasure.
Kinshiro-san...
- Please excuse me. - Please go ahead.
Hello?
Really?
What happened?
It's the police.
My father is being held hostage.
- Where is it? - Kitamachi Police Station.
Kitamachi Police Station?
Who is this?
Hello?
This is Toyama.
Chief?
I heard about it.
Please return immediately.
The hostage taker wants to meet with you!
Me?
He seems to have been conned in a marriage scam.
A marriage scam?
The deputy chief said...
you bumped into this man at the lobby this morning.
I'm sorry! Are you okay?
(KOYAMA INDUSTRIES)
I'm sorry. Please hold on just a little longer.
Wait. What did you just say? Hello?
Thank you very much. Kanako-san, please wait here.
I will come with you.
But it's very dangerous.
Please let me come along so that I can face my father.
(KOYAMA INDUSTRIES. ENTRANCE)
Excuse me! I'd like to ask you about something.
I think you're talking about Yoshino-kun.
His name is Yoshino?
Yes. He lives in an apartment opposite this place.
Excuse me? Anybody home?
Yes?
May I know who you are?
I'm Toyama Kinshiro.
(4:03 PM)
Why isn't the chief here yet?
Stop making any more mistakes.
I'm the victim.
Why isn't the police helping me?
I can't wait any longer.
Why didn't you lodge a report about the marriage scam?
The police said it was difficult to prove a marriage scam!
That's what you police do.
As long as it's not your job,
you'll ignore the victims who are crying.
That's not true.
But I heard the chief here was different.
But...
it seems like he's just the same.
All of you are the same!
Since nothing can be done, I might as well as...
Please wait!
Chief!
We still don't know if there's nothing to be done.
You're the chief?
You came to meet me,
but I left without listening to you. I apologise for that.
This isn't like you.
I don't think you're a person who will do anything dangerous.
You know nothing about me!
You're supposed to get married in a week. Right, Yoshino-san?
You're in a rush to find this woman, so that...
you can carry out the wedding ceremony as scheduled, right?
For the sake of your mother.
How did you know?
I met your mother.
I see. You're Kohei's friend?
That's right.
He's going to get married soon.
Your mother is still looking forward to your wedding ceremony.
She believes that you'll find happiness.
That's why you didn't tell anyone...
and came to me, right?
I understand your sorrow.
It's too late. You police officers...
A police officer protects people who might get hurt or who are hurt.
No, this is our job.
So please tell us about it.
Father?
- Father! - Kanako, stay away!
Please spare my father!
I have something I must tell him.
Please return my father to me.
Yoshino-san,
you should have something to tell you mother too, right?
I couldn't tell my mother...
that I wasn't going to get married,
and that I was deceived.
Because she was really happy that I was getting married.
That woman was very nice to my mother too.
But it was all for my money.
When she told me her father was sick,
I really wanted to do something for her.
But you couldn't find her after you gave her the money.
She trampled on the feelings of me and my mother.
But even if you went on with the wedding ceremony,
your mother would find out someday.
I'm sure what your mother wants...
isn't your wedding ceremony.
She wants you to find real happiness.
But...
I understand your indignation very well.
But if you hold on to indignation and grudges,
you won't be able to move forward.
Chief!
So please entrust those feelings...
to us, the police.
- Father! - Kanako!
Chief Secretary, are you okay?
- Thank you. - Come.
Kanako.
Hey.
What do you plan to do?
Isn't it obvious?
She called herself Hanai Tomoko. Obviously, it's a fake name.
She also lied about her address and occupation.
All right. Matsu and I will look into the places they went.
Mizu and Hanaoka will check if she has any criminal records.
- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir.
- Matsu, let's go. - Yes, Sir.
These are the only clues?
- Welcome. - Welcome.
We have a customer.
- Welcome to Seaside. - Welcome.
You're so passionate.
Thank you for your compliment.
Is there any specific girl you would like to request?
I'd like to meet your top girl, Rena-san.
A good choice, Sir.
This customer would like to meet Rena-san.
Thank you for picking me. I'm Rena.
I'm Toyama. Nice to meet you.
You look like a nice man. This is your first time here, right?
I came here because I really wanted to meet you.
You're so good at sweet talking a girl.
I went through a lot to find you.
This snowshoe cat is a rare variant, isn't it?
It's difficult to get one, so not many people have one in Tokyo.
Why do you have this photo?
You deceived Yoshino Kohei-san...
and took five million yen from him, didn't you?
I think you have the wrong person.
You lied to Yoshino-san that your father was hospitalised,
and left with the money he gave you for his operation.
But your father...
is very healthy and strong.
What do you want?
Are you trying to blackmail me to get the money?
So you admit what you did?
The people who are tricked are to blame.
That man and his mother were so excited about the marriage.
If I'm marrying someone,
I'd certainly find a good looking man who's even richer.
Who would marry that man? That's totally impossible.
I can't stand this.
Manager, this man is threatening me. Please throw him out.
- What's going on, Rena-san? - What's going on?
That man...
What do you want with our top girl?
I thought he was a nice man. How wrong I was.
- Throw him out. - Yes, Sir.
Hey. Stand up!
Come outside with me.
Wait.
You're interrupting our business!
I'll call the police!
That's not necessary.
What?
I am the chief of Kitamachi Police Station, Toyama Kinshiro.
A police chief?
I vow in the name of the sakura that I won't connive any crime.
(METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT)
These taiyaki are really delicious.
But Halloween is already over, isn't it?
My grandson said he didn't want this box anymore,
so I filled it with taiyaki.
By the way,
I heard something serious happened on the day of your arranged date.
And it was supposed to be an auspicious day.
Did you tell the chief secretary that I'm a very motivated worker?
I didn't lie.
The chief secretary complimented you as well.
He said you're a passionate young man.
You're making me feel embarrassed.
He's really looking forward to this marriage.
How about you? What do you think?
What do you mean?
- Come in! - Come in!
Kanako-san?
Miss! Hello.
I talked with my father...
and told him I wanted to go overseas.
And...
he gave me his blessings.
That's great!
It's all thanks to you, Kinshiro-san. Thank you so much!
No, I did nothing.
Hey, would you like some taiyaki?
I'll pass. Thank you.
I'm glad you like me,
but I'm sorry! I can't marry you.
- No, I... - Please don't stop me!
I've decided to pursue my dream.
Kinshiro-san,
I'm sure you'll meet another woman who's much better than me.
I apologise!
Goodbye!
You've been dumped.
To me, my job is my girlfriend.
Your job is your girlfriend?
Do you mean this job...
is your connection to your father?
Yes.
I haven't told you why I became an elite bureaucrat.
I already found out.
You told the hostage taker...
that one couldn't move forward if one held on to grudges.
I understand your indignation very well.
But if you hold on to indignation and grudges,
you won't be able to move forward.
That's what you feel about Sakurai-san's case, right?
You let go of the grudge.
That's why you became not only an elite bureaucrat...
but also a police chief.
I don't think grudges...
would do the citizens any good.
Do you mean to say you can forgive them?
Both the criminal...
and the police chief who made the wrong decision 25 years ago?
I...
held on to the grudge...
and still moved forward till this day.
Because I'm the person who was by Sakurai-san's side at the end.
If I forgive them,
someone will certainly be sacrificed again due to a wrong decision!
I can't forgive them.
Did my father say anything...
before he drew his last breath?
I have no obligation to answer an elite bureaucrat like you.
Kin-san's arranged date didn't work out?
That's right.
I helped him a lot with it. What a shame.
But weren't you relieved?
No, I wasn't.
Well then, I'll introduce...
another lady to Kin-san.
Go ahead.
I don't want that though.
I'm just kidding!
By the way, why didn't your husband come today?
He's very busy at work.
Forget about my dad.
25 years ago, the chief, who was an elite bureaucrat,
did not permit him to arm himself with his pistol...
when he was investigating the case.
If he hadn't made that wrong decision,
Sakurai-san wouldn't have been shot by the criminal.
I did it!
That's great!
Kin-san, that's perfect!
Look! I did it. Look!
It's the shoulder stand pose. Look!
(ON THE NEXT EPISODE) Please get your household chores done.
They're are! The complainants!
What did you say?
Even police officer can't deal with housewives' problems.
Misato-san, please save me!
A weak person has nowhere to live.
I don't want this city to become such a cold hearted place.
Someone is pulling evil pranks on us.
I did those things. I apologise.
This is going to bring about an irreversible outcome.
I know her. She has a strong sense of justice.
She wouldn't do something as meaningless as this.
