Thank you very much.
I called the hospital and they told me you were being discharged.
Yukino's fine now.
The reason why she could speak is because she's thoroughly recovered,
and her emotional state of panic has settled down.
I see.
All she has to do is come to terms with the feelings,
and get over the shock of her father's death.
Now it's up to you and your effort to do your best.
Mr. Detective...
Please be her emotional support.
I will.
You want to borrow a detective?
It's a series of burglary/injury cases that occurred in Shibuya, 2 years ago.
A female office worker living alone in a condo
was critically injured, and money was stolen.
The suspect used the same technique and attacked 3 victims in a row.
Our investigative unit followed the suspect, but due to no evidence of his whereabouts,
the investigative unit was disbanded.
However, yesterday the suspect was seen at a Koei-cho bar.
That's our jurisdiction...
You need a detective who's familiar with the geography, right?
Section Chief Hakamada, please find an appropriate person.
We have many highly capable people.
We have so much free time.
Please go to the main office... I mean the Metro Police Dept.
I have to put together my subordinates' work schedule.
Do that later!
You're the one who told me I had to submit it today
or they won't get their raises.
Mashita...
My exam is next month.
I'll let it go this time. If you do it again, I'll prosecute!
If you want to fight that much, become a police officer.
You can beat up the suspect.
Don't get carried away!
Don't get angry now!
My back is killing me... Isn't there a good hospital?
This is Section Chief Shimazu of the Metro Police Dept. 1st Investigative Section.
Do you know a good hospital?
Section Chief! I need an officer who can assist
in the investigation of the larcenist of Diet Foods.
- Later... - Now!
Use Aoshima... he's not here.
Don't assign Detective Aoshima on that case.
The main office can't interfere in personnel affairs of the branch office.
We'd like to borrow Detective Aoshima.
Him?
You're joking.
It's Superintendent Muroi's urgent request.
What's going on?
Aoshima's been requested to assist in the main office's investigation.
Really?
The main office has gone out of their mind.
Hey! Elite candidate.
Poor thing. You got the joker.
Aoshima, come back alive.
Don't die.
I'm sorry.
Come here.
Hurry.
What is it?
Stand up straight.
Police Sergeant Aoshima, you are ordered to be sent
to the Metro Police Dept. 1st Investigative Section.
ODORU DAISOUSASEN The Spirited Criminal Investigative Network
Ep. 4: A Woman's Tears and Detective's Pride
This is a little something for the investigative staff.
Please take care of Aoshima.
Leave it to me.
I can't trust you, that's why I have to ask for his kindness.
Let's go.
Thank you for the send-off.
I'm not sending him off. Will he be all right?
I don't know.
He's a former salesman.
I don't care.
Why me?
Don't just stand there.
No one uses this room.
They're all at the respective investigation headquarters working on their cases.
Detectives of the 1st section do not sit at their desk for the whole year.
How wasteful.
I've brought him.
Thank you.
My name is Aoshima. I'm from the Wangan Police Department.
My last name is the same as the governor of Tokyo.
I'm nervous... here.
This is the man we're after.
Oguchi Shigeru. He was 19 when he committed the crime. He was a college student.
The suspect is definitely concealing himself in the Wangan Department's jurisdiction.
I want you to search the area with a fine tooth comb, with my men.
I understand.
We're busy with other cases. Why is this case being opened again?
It's his first case as Superintendent.
If he doesn't close the case, it'll affect his advancement.
It's typical of something he would do.
I think the money the suspect stole is running out.
That's why he...
Don't act like a detective! You jurisdictional brat!
Stop it! He's favored by Superintendent Muroi.
If you want to investigate, do it yourself.
Aoshima's unlucky.
Why? The main office requested for him. He's on the road to success.
You're naive.
We already know that he'll be picked on by the detectives there and will return
with his tail between his legs. The main office people have strong pride.
In the past, I was called out to the main office.
All I did was pour tea. I ended up memorizing the brand names of tea and returned.
When I was 40, I went to the main office. They told me it was a promotion transfer.
I ended up being a driver for the young detectives.
I drove all day long and my back bent over, like an old lady.
That's why you have back problems.
I went to the main office to be in charge of detention,
but I played hostess for my superiors at the bars longer than being on duty.
A branch is better.
Could you please conduct the interrogation.
I'm hungry.
Hurry it up.
We're busy, too!
I found you, Aoshima.
I came here on Sumire's orders.
- Today's... - Tuesday.
We'll stay out until morning and I'll take her home.
He's an unreliable bodyguard, though.
Are you on a stake out?
I'm in the middle of investigating.
Is he the suspect?
Are you capable of doing a stake out?
Don't worry. Just go away.
What kind of attitude is that?
I was worried and came all this way to see you.
I'll bring you some drinks. Sumire, is beer okay?
I want malt!
Stop it already!
Don't move!
The man next to me is targeting my handbag.
Don't look!
When he opens my bag, I want you to stroke my hair.
What nice hair, honey.
Ouch!
You're under arrest for larceny.
Who are you?
I'm from the Wangan Police Department!
Don't lie!
Do I look like a super model?
Show me your badge!
I'm charging 100 yen!
Oguchi!
What's going on?
Sign here.
Why did this happen?
What happened?
I met the suspect at the Koei-cho bar.
And?
He saw my badge and ran away.
Why did you take out your badge in front of the suspect?
I was arresting a pickpocket.
A pickpocket?
He's not in this vicinity anymore.
Why didn't you partner-up to make your move?
He insisted on moving alone.
Fool! What's more important?!
A suspect wanted for burglary and injury or a pickpocket?!
We were after a large case.
A menial case is not worth our time.
Menial?
Pickpocket is a menial crime.
The investigative unit handles important crimes.
We're in a different class from jurisdictional
officers that chase after menial cases.
It was a mistake to allow a green, jurisdictional officer to participate.
I'm sorry.
It was hasty of me to show my badge.
We went there to have fun. I'm no good.
You were only doing your job.
He's not here yet.
I hear he blundered on the main office case! Where is he?
Former salarymen are good at goofing off.
Page him.
What's Aoshima's pager number?
Where's Aoshima?
He's not here yet. The section chief will kill him when he gets here.
I wonder if he's with the victim's daughter again.
The one from the murder case?
He wants to help her because she's all alone.
I hope he doesn't get too involved.
Let's go.
Don't hurt me.
I'm happy you're able to speak.
When I felt I could talk to you, my voice gradually...
I was shocked about what you told me the other day.
You told me about my father...
and that I might've been keeping a secret from him.
I'm sorry for saying unnecessary things.
I loved my father. He was my only relative.
There was something I just couldn't tell him.
When I was studying abroad,
I fell in love with someone.
I promised to marry him.
But I just couldn't tell my father.
I didn't know what to do.
I thought if my father...
weren't alive...
I really felt that way.
I wished he weren't alive.
Then, the incident happened.
When I realized I would never tell my father about the secret...
Did something happen regarding that man?
Will you really help me?
I will.
What's going on?
The suspect that ran away from Aoshima...
There was a tip that he would show up at the Shibaura club.
They're going to make our station the front line headquarters.
We'll be under your care.
I apologize for the inconvenience
that Aoshima caused the other day.
We have fine officers, other than Aoshima.
Please feel free to use anyone.
All criminal enforcement officers except Aoshima, gather up! Hurry!
You're so young, and you work so hard. You'll die early.
Didn't you work hard?
What a nice overcoat. I'd like to wear one, too.
Where did you buy it?
Mail-order catalog.
Please call Aoshima.
These people have slightly superior skills to Aoshima.
I had a feeling you would want him, so we've paged for him.
I, Hakamada, am taking full responsibility for my subordinate's
error and being a veteran on the line, will assist.
I will assist, also.
Are you familiar with clubs?
I have a full set.
He's referring to dance clubs.
The main office is requesting for you again.
Show them the strong will of the branch office.
There is an entrance and an exit at the front and back.
The emergency exits are located here.
The place will be operating as usual.
I want to avoid any commotion that will injure the customers and employees.
The arrest will be done outside the bar.
I will control the timing from here.
The suspect knows Aoshima's face.
He should be removed from the investigation.
Will you allow only the investigative unit to conduct this investigation?
It will affect the morale of the others.
I want him to participate.
If he makes another mistake,
you'll have to take responsibility.
I know that.
Don't act non-typically of a superintendent.
You'll arrest the suspect.
Thank you very much... I needed the points this month.
You and I will walk the glorious path among the media,
when we take the suspect to headquarters.
A jurisdictional brat is incapable of anything.
Why are you so interested in me?
You said the police force isn't a company.
Take a look at our detectives.
They're so full of pride, as members of the Metro Police 1st Investigative Section.
They're only interested in performing meritorious deeds.
They're only interested in their record and advancement.
If you perform adequately on this job, I'm considering
recommending you to the 1st Investigative Section.
The 1st Investigative Section...?
You have to show me that you can perform.
Think only about the case.
The arrest of the suspect is your first priority.
I'm telling you this, because I want you.
Tonight will be your only chance.
Don't disappoint me this time.
These are the exits.
Your amulet?
Detectives are so old-fashioned.
Me, too.
It's an analogue.
It's 12 midnight.
Headquarters to inspector... status on the suspect.
He hasn't shown up.
Continue monitoring for suspect's arrival.
Understood.
What are you doing?
I'm wiretapping the radio between headquarters and the front-line investigators.
Do that at home.
I'm studying! I'm going to be a superintendent like Mr. Muroi someday.
Uozumi, get coffee for the headquarters staff.
After that, you may leave.
I have to take care of a mountain of paperwork.
Then, I'll leave.
Waku, your back hurts, right? Go home.
You were the one who wanted the report
on the shoe burglary incident immediately.
Onda, you may leave.
I'm writing the report on yesterday's pickpocket incident.
When did you all get so interested in overtime?
Suspect has arrived. He's going to the office.
Don't surround him, yet.
The suspect showed up!
The suspect and owner are in contact.
The suspect is accepting money.
Understood. Everyone heard that, right?
Okay.
The suspect left the office.
Which way did he go?
He's going into the bar.
He's on the dance floor.
He's right next to me. Shall I secure him?
Not yet. He has to go outside.
Suspect is walking around the dance floor.
What's the matter?
This is Aoshima.
There's a quarrel nearby.
Don't cause a commotion. You'll be detected.
Headquarters... a girl...
Securing the suspect is first priority. Ignore it.
Aoshima, don't move.
Suspect is heading towards the exit.
When he steps out, secure him. Don't move until then.
Aoshima?
Aoshima, wait until the suspect is secured.
Suspect is returning to the dance floor.
Don't lose him.
Suspect is on the dance floor.
Don't get detected.
Wait, Aoshima.
Answer, Aoshima!
What are you doing?!
Don't hit women!
Who are you?!
I'm from the Wangan Police Department!
Secure the suspect! Secure him!
No one move!
The floor is in a state of panic.
The suspect escaped!
Hurry! Go after him!
Suspect is heading towards the back exit!
What happened?
We lost him.
What are they doing?!
What happened?
Cut it out!
You'll be all right.
Dispatch from the police office... the escaped
suspect is Oguchi Shigeru, 21 years old, male.
Height is approximately 5 feet 7 inches.
He committed an offense and injured someone.
The injured female victim is inside.
Oguchi Shigeru, 21 years old, male.
Height is approximately 5 feet 7 inches. His hair is long.
He's wearing a long coat...
We still can't find the suspect.
We've set emergency arrangements but he hasn't been found yet.
Why didn't you obey my orders?!
I told you not to act on your own!
He may still be nearby. Search the vicinity with a fine tooth comb.
This is a major problem.
I don't know your reasoning for allowing a jurisdictional officer to participate.
However, with his 2nd error, the suspect escaped.
You'll take full responsibility for this!
Finding the suspect is first priority.
You're a superintendent of the career group!
We non-career groups can't complain, but...!
This is an error on your part!
I will report this to the higher officials.
I'll take full responsibility.
You, too!
You don't understand the importance of matters!
I understand.
I accept the responsibility.
A young girl was being beaten.
Do you still want me to ignore that?
You let he suspect escape! What are you saying?!
Is there a distinction between big and small cases?
Am I supposed to ignore a person suffering in front of me,
just because of a large case?!
It was for the sake of settling a blackmail case.
I can't do that.
I don't want these if I can't use it to save people.
Mr. Muroi...
Thank you very much for allowing me to participate
among the 1st Investigative Section.
I now understand your frame of mind.
Is this the guy you're looking for?
We were going out for drinks
and we found a man of suspicious behavior.
We've been here a long time,
so we know the back alleys really well.
The 1st Investigative Section was chasing after the suspect.
Give him to us.
Be my guest. We branch office people have nothing to do with it.
Oguchi Shigeru, you're under arrest
on suspicion of injury and burglary.
Take him away.
I'm getting goosebumps. They're cool.
We'll take care of that offender.
The jurisdictional office is more than adequate for you.
Aoshima, pour me some delicious coffee.
We'll be waiting at the office.
I wanted you to work for me.
It's unfortunate.
Don't do anything uncalled for.
If you do anything to destroy the reputation of the main office, I'm the one who has great
difficulties associating with them. I want a written apology done within tonight!
You'd better indicate that I wasn't involved!
How dare you embarrass the Wangan Police Department?!
You prepare a written apology, too!
That's right, you're quitting. Submit a resignation!
Are you quitting?
Thank you very much for everything.
I see... What a waste.
A police department doesn't go bankrupt.
Written apology...
Someone dropped this.
Superintendent!
I'm originally from Akita, too. I'd like to be recommended
by the 1st Investigative Section to work under you.
I see.
Shall we eat kiritampo stew pot with the whole section?
I'll look forward to that day!
There's something I must get done by then, too.
Superintendent Muroi said to give this to you.
Detectives aren't salarymen, right?
Then you shouldn't have to compromise your beliefs
for the sake of the higher officials.
I'm leaving first.
I couldn't study at all because of you.
Please change your days on duty.
What shall I do with this suspect?
I'm the only one here.
I'll interrogate him.
I'm counting on you.
He's a fool!
Shall we go?
What?!
What is this?
I don't know.
Let's take our time.
I lost the opportunity to go to the main office because of you.
But I realized it's nice here, too.
I'm really motivated.
Be prepared, big shot!
