Good morning!
Is the 3-chome area okay? How about 4-chome?
Don't neglect the patrol!
What's the matter, Section Chief?
I have the suspect of an injury case.
I will make him confess immediately.
People who have committed wrongdoings should not be forgiven!
In the name of justice!
Divison Chief, have there been any burglaries?
Not yet. Don't let your guards down!
We're full of energy!
Everyone, the city is full of problems. Be prepared!
This isn't a dream.
What's wrong with everyone?
Your fathers are working hard like this all the time.
Their children?
It's a holiday, so they're observing the workplace.
The purpose is to have them understand their father's daily conduct.
But it's totally different.
Do you understand what your fathers do?
He's cool!
I respect my dad!
This is the first time I've seen him like this.
Dad, do your best!
Dad, do a good job!
Dad, work hard!
Whose children are they?
Mr. Uozumi.
His wife is from Finland.
Let's go see the patrol cars and motor bikes.
Hey! Behave and listen well!
That was tiring.
I'm tired from doing what I'm not used to doing.
Dispatch from headquarters...
In the vicinity of Kurinokizaka of Kannai Minato Ward,
there's a bleeding man down... Repeating...
I hate this.
Shall we sit and wait?
That sounds good.
Mashita...
We must not forgive people who commit wrongdoings.
In the name of justice.
We're leaving, Father.
ODORU DAISOUSASEN The Spirited Criminal Investigative Network
Ep. 8: Goodbye Beloved Detective
Please move out of the way!
This area is off limits!
Please don't push!
It's the Special Investigative Unit.
You'll only be chased out.
You're right.
Let's forget it.
Good work.
Where are you going?
Nakamura!
Hard at work?
Well?
The victim is Kadoyama Shoichi, 52 years old, unemployed.
He was stabbed in the back with a knife, in various places.
The stabbing technique is very unique. No witnesses.
Will it be a Special Investigation case?
They're setting up at the Wangan station.
I'm going back. Please call me if something happens.
Let's go back.
Do you have a friend at the main office?
That's awesome. You got info from the main office.
He's not a detective.
He's a newspaper journalist.
Journalist?!
Newspaper journalists get more detailed information than we do.
I can't hear too well...
There's too much racket!
I understand a special investigative headquarter will be established at our station.
What are you doing?
We'll probably be having a media conference.
It's been a while, so I want to be at my best.
After all, the whole country will see me.
What's wrong with you?
It's important...
Press my uniform, too.
The main office's investigative unit will be here soon.
This is our chance to gain merit points.
If this case is solved in its early stages,
I may be promoted to head the Marunouchi station.
Please take me with you.
I'll accompany you to your grave.
Settle down. The victim died.
Please confirm it.
What happened to the prowler case?
He cracked a window and entered the home.
We have no witnesses of a suspicious character.
The items stolen were 30,000 yen in cash and a Rolex watch.
What about the victim?
Her?
She lives alone with her father, and he's overseas on a business trip.
Don't worry. There's nothing to be scared of anymore.
What's the matter?
When the suspect intruded, she was in the other room.
Don't worry.
"Kurinokizaka Murder Case Investigation Headquarter"
Is this okay?
Why are they so late?
It's been a while since we've been the special investigative headquarter.
I hope I'm not a driver.
You may have to man the headquarter phones.
Where's Mr. Muroi?
I wonder what happened.
There're fewer headquarters investigators, too.
Are they ill?
The investigative meeting will begin.
Profiling?
They take clues from the murder scene
and construct a profile of the suspect
based on behavioral science, criminology and psychology.
I know. What about it?
From the Metro Police's standpoint, we are examining the application
of scientific investigating to detective investigating.
We've decided to send the Scientific Investigation
Research Institution's profiling team to the Wangan investigation headquarter.
Is that why you reduced the investigators on this case?
If this test case is successful,
we may be able to handle cases with limited personnel.
It'll eliminate the request for unnecessary detectives.
Our team is a lot more competent than the detectives lying around here.
Please make this a success.
Was anything else discovered from questioning in the neighborhood?
I heard something about a strange man.
He works at warehouse operating locations in this jurisdiction.
He's always carrying a knife on him.
There's an incident where he swung at his colleagues, on a drunken rage.
Who is he?
Kubota Minoru, 35 years old.
He lives in Kamata and has a wife and child.
He's 100 kg, a big fellow and quite strong.
According to his friends...
He came after all.
He's tardy.
You can't...
This is an investigative headquarters.
If your wallet was stolen, please go downstairs to the detective section.
Let them pass. This way, please.
This is the profiling team from the Metro Police
Scientifis Investigative Research Institute.
What is that?
They're police officers, just like us.
It was in the inter-office bulletin...
They're Tokyo University graduates and were hired as experts.
They analyzed the profile of the suspect.
Here goes.
The incident took place in the wealthy residential district of Hatsushiba.
The suspect was raised in a wealthy family.
The murder technique is simple and immature.
Thus narrow the age of the suspect to late teens or early twenties.
After murdering the victim, the suspect tried to move him, but gave up.
Thus, he lacks physical strength.
The murder taking place in broad daylight means
the suspect has attention deficiency syndrome.
In other words, he's full of stress.
Stressed out men have small appetites,
so he has a small stature. That's about it.
Are they criminal maniacs?
No, they're not.
Then they're just boasting.
Additionally the murderer weapon, a knife,
was polished to a shine. He's a monomaniac.
In other words, he's oblivious to everything
except what interests him. His room is filthy and messy.
They're awesome.
I've heard rumors about them.
I'd like to announce the investigation groups...
Wait one minute! I'm not finished with my report.
The man you reported and the suspect's profile are totally different.
He's not the man we're after! Reinvestigate.
Be on alert status!
Wait!
I don't care what you call your fancy process, but...
Is it really that accurate?
It's the ultimate scientific investigative method.
Investigation? You brats don't know what investigation is!
What?
A natural monument...
Do you have any scientific facts that prove your man is the suspect?
You have to provide data...
It's a hunch!
He's a 20th century relic.
That's enough!
Relying only on academics and not using your legs won't find the suspect!
Now, it does.
What is a detective supposed to do?
Verify our data.
The era of detectives investigating is gone.
Please submit a report anyway.
I refuse.
Let those brats catch the suspect.
Did you see what the suspect looks like?
I'm really good at drawing.
Did you contact her father?
He said he'll come home as soon as his business is done.
I see.
Do you want to go home? You don't have to worry.
We'll have a policeman stand in front of your home.
Do you want to stay over at my place tonight?
Let's do that. Okay?
Mr. Waku, I understand how you feel, but...
Are you reviewing the old files again?
Is it relating to the murder of your junior colleague?
You should have them profile that, too.
I'm not relinquishing this case!
He's joking.
Don't be sassy with me!
I believe in your investigative method of using your legs.
Altough my legs hurt.
Go away!
Just do it your own way!
Their method will help your lower back problem.
I retire in 2 months. Mind your own business!
Let's do our own work!
The investigative assignments are set.
Aoshima, you'll team up with the prof...
Profiling.
I know. You'll be their assistant.
They requested for you.
I'm pulling out.
It's our job. Please do it.
I'm taking vacation from tomorrow. No complaints.
I have 3 years worth of paid vacation. I have to use it.
I'm counting on you.
What happened?
If scientific investigation is going to be a priority, they don't need me.
I'll return on the day I retire.
Good morning!
I'm Aoshima of the Wangan station.
You worked at a computer prior to becoming a detective.
How do you know?
We have data on all the investigators.
You have my academic records, too.
We thought you'd be the easiest to talk to.
The other detectives won't do. They're not computer literate.
What is that for?
That's his way of communicating.
He's an introvert.
Pleased to meet you.
Shall we go to the crime scene? You people haven't been there, yet.
All the data has been inputted.
Don't you trust it?
Data doesn't lie.
I do. After all, I did marketing, as a salesman.
My superior likes to investigate.
You're one of us.
A product made from marketing isn't always guaranteed to sell.
What do you want to say?
I believe in data, but don't be fooled by it.
We'll use it to its fullest extent.
The suspect is a human and so are detectives.
There won't be any need for detectives... eventually.
What does that mean?
The computer will provide the suspect's profile,
and they'll just bring him in. That's all that's necessary.
In the future, anyone can become a detective...
Even part-timers.
Thank you very much for the other day.
Why are you here?
I brought you some things.
I'll get some coffee.
What is it?
We'll get the coffee for Yukino.
Who is she?
A prowler entererd her home and her father
is away on a business trip. She's all alone today.
The stolen Rolex watch was found at a pawn shop on 5-chome.
I'll go verify it.
Could you please keep her company?
I'll thank you later.
I'm leaving.
I understand you're part of the profiling team.
You're fast.
They've deduced 3 murder suspects this year.
Headquarters has their hopes on them.
I'd like to interview them. Could you arrange it?
Okay. In exchange, do you have any good info?
Why is it that I have more info?
They don't let lower detectives in on anything.
I saw Mr. Waku in the streets, earlier.
He was questioning people.
He told me he was walking around since 6 AM.
You have to use your legs, too. Do your best!
Legs, huh?
I hope your father comes home soon.
It's scary.
She was involved in an incident, too.
I caused everyone a lot of inconvenience,
but the people here were always very helpful.
I'm back!
How are you?
Why are you here?
She brought something and was forced to assist Onda.
I'm not working today.
If you befriend Onda, she'll make you into a detective.
Really?
There are many eccentrics here.
He doesn't know how to use a computer,
so teach him the very basics.
You first open Windows, then open the data file.
Data... Windows? Open the window.
No, not that window. Please click on the mouse.
I don't know what click means.
You press here.
Pushing it forward won't do anything. You hit it.
It'll break if you hit it that hard.
This is difficult.
This is very easy.
This is fun.
I can draw, too?
You're very artistic.
This family computer is fun.
It's a personal computer.
You're great.
I'm not working hard at all. I'm on vacation.
Give this to Aoshima.
What is it?
A love letter.
Being on vacation is fun.
Will you attend the meeting?
This is from Mr. Waku.
He says it's a love letter.
What is it?
Mr. Waku's investigation material.
He wants us to reinvestigate.
That man?
It's still bothering him.
"I'm not a natural monument!"
I have a report. There's a man who matches our profile.
Be quiet!
Continue.
His name is Shibuya Yuta, 22. He's a college student
living in a luxury condo in Daiba. He's fair and small in stature.
He faithfully carries a knife.
He doesn't have an alibi.
Bingo! The case has been solved.
He's the one who did it.
You guys are amazing.
Are there any other pertinent suspects to investigate?
We have several reports,
but they don't match the profile of the suspect.
We've analyzed a few, but they're all way off.
Where's Detective Waku of Wangan station?
Is he here?
He's on vacation from yesterday.
He said he's not needed.
Don't say unnecessary things.
I want a report on the suspicious character he was mentioning.
You're wasting time.
I'll read Detective Waku's report.
Kubota has been very irritable with his friends on a daily basis.
He said he would do something really big.
Knives are used to cut ropes, so there are many at the warehouse.
The custody of the knives is not strict at all.
He has no alibi.
He's totally different from the profiling suspect.
Shall we ignore it?
Who cares about the report from a detective.
Let's bring in our suspect and make him confess.
Wait a minute.
You people only specify the suspect.
The confession is the work of the detective.
We can make him confess.
He's a human. It's not that simple.
We simply have to show him the data
and force him to confess. He can't deny it,
without all the data for a counterargument.
We'll examine it. Dismissed!
There's nothing to agonize over.
How trustworthy is your profiling?
It's not a matter of success rate.
If you input the data, the computer will tell all.
Machines don't reason. They just tell the facts.
What are you doing?
I'm sorry.
I'm not scolding you.
That child is the victim of one of our cases.
She's all alone, so I wanted to cheer her up.
Come on!
Here goes!
This is just another part of a police officer's job.
We have a statement from Shibuya's neighbor.
Shibuya Yuta was shopping when the crime was committed.
One hour later, he returned home without buying anything.
According to his friend, he's very short-tempered.
He contributed a photograph of himself holding an army knife
in the military mania magazine.
He's definitely the suspect.
We'll bring him in.
You'd better hurry, or he'll run away.
Shibuya Yuta...
and Kubota Minoru, whom we received a report on yesterday,
will be brought in for voluntary questioning.
Wait a minute.
Don't you have trust in the suspect we specified?
We gathered data and did a psychological analysis of Kubota.
He's not capable of murder.
Theft is about the worse he'll commit.
Superintendent, one suspect is fine.
You don't have to take my men into consideration.
Both men will be voluntary questioned!
Kubota is being brought in, so please get Mr. Waku.
It's useless.
This is Mr. Kubota. He's voluntarily come in.
I apologize for calling you in.
What am I suspected of?
Please take care of it.
Please come this way.
He's totally different from the profile suspect.
Ai-chan, please play upstairs.
I'm taking Ai-chan upstairs.
The man who pawned the Rolex watch
wasn't among the mug shots of repeated offenders.
Shall we have tea?
Hurry up.
What's the rush?
I haven't done anything!
If you haven't done anything, why're you rushing?
What were you doing yesterday morning?
What is it?
Aoshima's interrogating the man you suspected.
I'll ask you one more time.
Where and what were you doing yesterday morning?
Where and what were you doing?
It's impossible to commit a bad thing and hide it.
I'm not hiding anything!
Let me re-phrase the question.
Do you know about the murder incident
that occured on Kurinokizaki Road?
You know, right?
I'm leaving.
Please wait a minute.
Answer me!
You did it!
Stop it!
I'm sorry... I'm sorry.
Who is he?
What are you doing, fool!
I'm doing it for you!
I'm on your side.
Could you tell me?
Okay. I'll tell you.
The man Mr. Waku suspected was...
Please tell me.
I didn't commit the murder.
It's the truth!
You killed him, right?
I didn't do it!
You did!
Then what did you do?
Did you steal something?
Am I right?
I opened the window and snuck into an apartment.
I saw 30,000 yen and a watch in the drawer...
I just snuck in and stole money! It's the truth! Believe me!
I heard noises in the next room and ran away!
Ms. Onda... could it be?
The stolen amount matches... and the watch.
Excuse me.
Yesterday morning there was a prowler incident in the Kannai area.
The stolen watch was a Rolex.
I'm sorry. I did it.
How did you know he committed theft?
Did you ask those brats?
Please request for an arrest warrant.
Mr. Shibuya has voluntarily come to the station.
Hurry it up.
Mr. Shibuya, if you're not involved in the murder case,
this machine will prove it.
Hurry up.
There's no rush. Let's have fun.
First, let's test this polygraph.
Please answer "no" to every question, and lie.
Is your name Shibuya Yuta?
Are you 22 years old?
Do you live in Minato ward, Daiba?
Well?
It indicates he's lying.
It's in the best condition.
This machine will see through your lies.
Within the questions that I'll be asking from now,
you will be lying on one of them.
I want you to answer "no" to all the questions.
Did you pickpocket a wallet yesterday?
Did you hit someone in the face yesterday?
Did you sneak into a home yesterday?
Did you stab someone in the back with a knife yesterday?
Well?
There's a reaction to the last question.
While we're at it, make him confess.
This is the chest and abdominal area's respiration.
This is the electrical response of the skin.
This is the response of your pulse.
There was a positive response to the last question.
That means you lied on the last question.
You committed murder, right?
Machines don't lie. Admit it.
He's fallen silent.
This computer has all the evidence that says you did it.
We did an analysis on your personality.
You're very short-tempered.
You were bullied by your friends and abused
by your parents. You hold internal trauma.
In trying to escape that, you stabbed someone...
Stop it!
I'll kill all of you.
You killed him!
You did it! Say it!
I'm so sorry.
You people are ridiculing me!
You're all terrible!
I'm the only one who's on your side.
Please tell me.
A machine doesn't understand your feelings.
You did it, right?
Take them to the medical clinic.
You knew he was short-tempered. Be careful.
I'd better input that computers can turn into weapons.
Before that, input that detectives are necessary.
I used your line.
It really works.
We ultimately need you.
He confessed to the crime. Take him to headquarters.
Scientific investigation will play a bigger role.
Will you be able to handle it?
I think I can.
I believe it's time to work together with science.
Only...
We won't investigate purely with our minds and machines.
Absolutely.
We have our own ways.
I don't know the reality of working at a jurisdictional office.
Perhaps I'm not meant to be at the top.
What's with those 3... especially the blonde.
Where were you?
I was taking care of Ai-chan. I'm tired.
What's the matter?
This is the detective section.
Dad!
I'm sorry.
I apologize for inconveniencing you.
She may go home today. I'll take a written statement
tomorrow, so please come back.
She was very lonely. Please don't leave her alone anymore.
I'm terribly sorry.
Thank you.
Be careful.
Goodbye, Big Sister.
What should I do to become a police officer?
Don't do it.
I see. The case was solved in the early stages.
Now it's definite. Detective investigating will be
replaced by scientific investigating.
Next year's budget...
I'll have them increase it.
Send them to the special investigative unit of the Akasaka Murder Incident.
Please wait.
Muroi, submit a report immediately.
Criminal Enforcement...
There's an injury at the Teleport station.
There's no vacation when there's an incident.
Don't get sassy with me.
You people can't do anything without me!
Let's go, kids! Hurry!
And he's retiring soon?
