Can you hear me?
I'm scared.
They're overdoing it.
You're young!
The police have been trying to convince him to stop,
but it seems as though he's on the verge of jumping.
It doesn't look good!
Let's look upward and flap our wings!
Don't flap!
I don't want to die.
You can have a cheerful life...!
Calm down!
You're the one who has to calm down!
What shall I do?
It must feel good to jump.
It'll hurt when you fall.
Let's go.
I'm serious.
Hey, you.
Don't come!
If you come near me, I'll jump.
We won't come near you.
Just stay like that...
I was saved.
What's the matter?
Why do you want to die?
Be quiet!
Don't get excited.
Why don't you tell us the reason, before you die?
I failed all my college entrance exams
and my Tamagotchi died.
I've spent 2 years studying for the college exams.
Even if I study...
Getting into college isn't the only thing in life.
Who cares.
If you die, you can't eat delicious foods.
There aren't any computer games in heaven.
I'm going to die!
If you're so intent on dying,
why don't you become a police officer?
There's a lot of satisfaction from being a police officer.
It's a cool job. You can shoot a gun. Am I right?
It's cool, but the work is tough.
I'm trying to convince him.
If you're recommending a job, you have to disclose everything.
We stake our lives, but ultimately we're civil servants.
The base salary is low and we don't have any vacation.
Once every 5 days we sleep at the station.
When we wake up, it's nighttime.
There's no time for a girlfriend.
That's irrelevant.
I'm retiring soon, but because of my lower back problem,
I can't find a job.
I got this back problem after becoming a detectuve.
Nothing good has happened to me since becoming a detective.
At least you have the chance to start over.
My youth can't be relived.
You people...
Sorry, I forgot.
You should live with a positive attitude.
It's useless to regret your life. I think you're mistaken...
I don't want to hear it from you.
Why don't we ponder life...
The night before last, in Tokyo's Shinagawa ward,
a housewife, Yoshida Midori, was murdered.
The Special Investigative Unit
arrested the victim's husband, Yoshida Shinichiro, 35,
on the suspicion of murder.
According to investigations, Mr. Yoshida had a lover
for the past few years, which was discovered by his wife.
This resulted in a quarrel and ultimately murder, due to losing his temper.
His lover was discovered.
I'm envious.
I feel sorry for the murdered wife.
He didn't have to kill her.
If your husband had a lover, what would you do?
I'd kill my husband before he kills me.
The Internet is fun.
I bought a nightgown from Paris.
My wife was ecstatic.
You bought a nightgown for your wife...?
Station Chief's office.
Superintendent, I got through. Line 3.
This is Muroi. I have an urgent request.
Is it the murder incident of the wife who discovered her husband's illicit love affair?
The media is moving due to the announcement of the suspect's arrest.
I'm sure reporting of the related party will begin to escalate.
I'll be verifying information and taking statements from related parties.
Do your utmost to prevent any investigative information from leaking.
We must protect the privacy of unrelated parties.
If we had a popularity poll, who would be at the top?
I think you would be at the top.
I'm a modest man. How about Hakamada?
No way!
Everyone, the chief is here.
It seems my good will has been going down.
May I help you?
Section Chief, the man who attempted suicide is under protective custody.
You should live with a positive attitude...
Good work.
Polive have handcuffs...
Aoshima will do.
There was a request from the main office.
They want the related party of the Shinagawa station's
incident to be protected from the media.
You seem very willing.
Aoshima's interested in aiding the victim.
I'll be happy to do it.
We're not aiding the victim, but the murderer.
The suspect's lover lives in our jurisdiction.
We're protecting the lover?
Until the main office comes to get her...
We're to protect her here, from the media.
The lover is the cause of the murder.
That's right, but legally she's not at fault.
We have to protect her privacy.
It's the order of Aoshima's friend, Superintendent Muroi.
I'm counting on you.
Friend?
The lover...
ODORU DAISOUSASEN The Spirited Criminal Investigative Network
Ep. 9: Wangan Station's Great Panic Detective Aoshima's Critical Moment
This is where the lover of the arrested wife murderer lives.
The area is congested with media personnel, who want to interview her.
You can't remain silent forever.
I hate this.
It's our job.
We're from the Wangan Police Station.
Please open the door.
- Are you here to interrogate the lover? - Arrest?
Is there a relation to Criminal Enforcement?
We don't know.
We're from the Wangan Police Station... Ouch!
It's for your own sake! Open the door!
Don't push!
Are you all right?
I hope I get worker's compensation for this.
I'm a mess.
I don't see any difference.
Pardon us.
What does the police want?
We're not here to interrogate.
What is it?
We'll protect you at the Wangan Police Station.
Please come out.
That's nothing.
The media will only get worse.
And so?
We've had many cases where the suspect's families
were exposed by the media and their lives were ruined.
Police officers don't only arrest criminals.
Let's go.
Why do I have to go?
Shin-chan's the one who killed his wife.
I'm not relatd.
The employment exam for a female police officer...
I'm sorry to bother you at work.
Don't worry. There aren't any big cases.
The Metro Police Dept's exam is next week.
Next week!
It's held only once a year. If you miss this...
I'll take it.
I'll do whatever I can to help you.
That's right...
Are you all right?
I won't think about killing myself anymore.
After all, there are people like you who live a lukewarm life.
That's the secret to long life.
Resolve it yourself!
No one's dancing.
Are you serious about becoming a police officer?
Why?
You've all been so good to me, and I've seriously
thought about repaying that kindness.
Really?
The people here are all wonderful.
I'm well prepared for the rough work.
The exam consists of note-taking and essays.
There are physical standards to meet.
The height must be more than 150 cm.
The weight must be more than 45 kg.
If he gives you that lewd look again, you hit him.
You must protect yourself.
That's the first rule of a police officer.
I'll do my best!
You should read this.
Thank you.
What a bother.
Ms. Takeshita! Do something!
The other residents are complaining.
It's not my fault!
If you stay here, you'll inconvenience the neighbors.
I hate the police.
The police are money hungry, using excuses
such as speeding and parking violation.
We will take your opinions into serious consideration.
We'll work on reforming it, so let's go.
I said, I don't want to go. I'm not involved.
The man you were seeing killed his wife.
I didn't ask him to kill her.
Get out, Lover!
Takeshita Junko! What are your feelings?
You're responsible, too! Please answer!
I don't have a boyfriend and...
How shall I say it... I've never had an affair...
I'm disgusted!
What is she?
What happened?
She got away!
I think it went well.
You certainly are prepared when you leave home.
They sure are persistent.
Are we being followed?
I'm from the Wangan Police Department.
Police officers are followed sometimes.
Nothing can stop me! The police is with me!
I'm going to speed!
Don't do it!
Don't speed. You have to obey the traffic laws.
This is where the murdered suspect, Yoshida Shinchiro's lover lives.
What's going through Ms. T's mind?
Her illicit love affair was the cause of a murder.
Is she crying in pain over the mistake she made?
Section Chief, I've brought her.
It must've been rough for you.
Not really.
Please take her to the reception office.
I'm thirsty.
You, please bring be a cup of coffee.
Where's the reception office?
This way.
In any case, the cause of this tragedy is the illicit love affair of Ms. T.
Let's continue studying.
Please put that down.
Don't enter without permission!
Please leave!
Ms. Onda, please help!
Why are we protecting the murderer's lover?
Don't take pictures! Stop it!
I'm entering.
How long am I staying here?
You'll be interrogated eventually.
You'll stay here until headquarters comes to get you.
When are they coming to get me?
I don't know. They're busy, too.
They're in an uproar, downstairs.
Shin-chan sure acted unnecessarily.
Thank you.
What...!
I'm sorry.
What's with him?!
He's my superior.
He's a perpetual section chief.
I can see why he's never made it to department chief.
She's pretty good at judging human character.
Sorry... I heard that.
Let us in!
I cannot make that promise.
Let us interview her!
We want to speak to the station chief.
He's in the middle of an important meeting.
What a nice weather.
It's perfect for golf.
Is Oyagi pro available?
I've made reservations.
If I can master the last strokes, it'll be perfect.
Are you holding a press conference?
How is the lover?
What's with these people...?
It's regarding the woman Aoshima is protecting.
Is the lover crying?
Please let us interview her.
Is there a reason why you're protecting her?
Please hide this.
What's that?
Don't tell me you're golfing at a time like this!
What is the police doing?!
You're wrong! I'm not practicing golf.
You're mistaken!
Is it related to the murder case?
That's the weapon! We've discovered the weapon!
Calm down!
What iron is the weapon?
You're totally mistaken!
The weather was nice, and I took out this club...
We just got new information...
At the Wangan station, where the lover, Ms. T is being protected,
a hidden golf club used as the weapon was discovered...
It's not the weapon!
A golf club was discovered...
You're putting me in a bind!
This is a golf club that was given to me.
I wanted to take a look at it, so I brought it out. That's all.
Tell them to disguise my face.
It's too late.
You have to inform me of these things ahead of time.
I need preparation time. This is a problem.
Everyone's probably watching.
Let's have a formal press conference!
We'll make the announcement.
You're putting me in a bind...
I'm hungry.
Let's order something.
I'll order pizza.
How about hamburger, then?
I don't like that.
How about soba or something...?
I don't like noodles.
The man you were seeing is being interrogated
and can't eat anything delicious.
Like I said, I'm not involved.
How can you say that! You are the cause of it all.
I'm not!
I didn't kill her.
You're the cause!
Have I committed a crime?
Tell me!
This is an interrogation after all.
Should the police be doing this?
I'm sorry.
I'm no fool, just because I'm a lover.
I want Mitsukoshi Dept's shokado bento lunch.
I want the 3,500 yen one. I'll only eat that.
We're not happy doing this!
I've never eaten their bento lunch.
I heard that bento lunch is really good!
Who does she think she is?!
Calm down. You get so excited about food.
Someone has died!
Endure it. Your job is to protect her.
Headquarters should pick her up as soon as possible.
Calm down.
Why do I have to... for that woman!
This is Aoshima of the Wangan station.
I'd like to speak to Superintendent Muroi.
Yukino will be taking the exam to become a police officer.
She's really enthusiastic about it.
I'm not too supportive.
This is all part of being a police officer.
Even the jobs you don't want to do.
At Wakaba Waterways, the weapon, a bat, was found.
- It coincides with the suspect's confession. - Send him to the court!
Tell Wangan Station to wait for instructions.
Have you gotten anything from the victim's family?
What did they say?
They're busy.
Everyone, hold them back!
You can't enter without permission!
Have you gotten the appropriate approvals?
What are you taking pictures of?
She's here, isn't she?
Public relations is your job!
Who's the coordinating TV station this month?
Fuji TV!
Make them leave! If they don't follow the rules,
they'll be prohibited from entering this building!
We can't do our jobs!
Where's Mr. Shoji?
Do you know him?
No, I don't.
The lover, Ms.T, continues to be protected at the Wangan Police Station.
What kind of feelings are running through her, as she spends the night?
It'll probably be a long, sleepless night for Ms. T.
You've had a hard day.
Good work today.
It's lonely.
The princess has gone to bed.
She's sleeping?
Like a log.
I can't believe it.
It looks delicious.
Want some?
- Leave some. - Tell my stomach.
I wonder if she's being considered an accomplice.
The media said it's not a possibility.
But the man she was seeing murdered his wife.
You want her to break down in tears?
No, but... her attitude...
That's reality.
I feel like a fool, protecting her.
Give it back.
The kim chee taste is good.
If you eat it all, I'll get really angry.
I'm sure she's the same.
What do you mean?
I think she feels the same as we do.
She feels like a fool?
She said she didn't ask him to kill her, right?
It's the truth.
I think she was happy being the lover forever.
Perhaps that kind of relationship was easier for her.
But the man got flustered and committed the murder.
Is it the man's fault?
He loved her too much.
What's wrong with loving someone too much?
It's difficult being loved too much.
You're cold.
I haven't fallen in love lately.
Same here.
Tea.
Tea!
It's terrible here!
I haven't done anything! Please believe me!
I don't know! I don't know!
An unforgivable love that resulted in this tragic conclusion...
Yukino, our manager is on TV.
Mashita, you look so happy.
You think so?
He's in love.
Stop it, Sumire.
Please do your best on the exam.
I'll be supporting you.
I discussed it with Mr. Mashita and he suggested
I take the National Civil Servant Advanced Exam
instead of the District Civil Servant one.
Are you aiming to be one of the career groups?
If you pass, you'll be the section chief's superior one day.
Don't become a police officer.
I want coffee and a magazine.
Also, will someone massage my shoulders?
Certainly.
Can't we do something about her attitude?
Why are you in such a hurry?!
There's a suspicious man downstairs.
The one from yesterday?
He's not a media member.
Mr. Muroi is interrogating the suspect.
What? A suspicious man?
It's been bothering me.
He's mixed in with the media people...
We're busy with backup investigating!
I'll take a picture and send it to you. Please verify it.
Please come with me.
Is he here?
Over there.
Make like a wall.
That's ticklish.
Don't move.
Sumire, it's done.
I've written the request.
I hope he's not related with the case.
Okay. Let's prosecute.
What shall we do with the protection of the related party
at the jurisdictional station?
- Let her go. - I'll contact them.
Do you know this man?
No, I don't. What is that?
We haven't gotten any word from the main office.
He doesn't seem to be related.
If we don't cooperate...
We have to be proper... your status is at stake.
It shouldn't have been that way from the beginning...
We will now hold a press conference...
Why are you leaving?
We can't be bothered with the lover.
The golden idol's engagement press conference is about to begin.
The entertainment world takes precedence over a murder incident, huh?
Who's the idol?
Go find out.
This is a report on the victim's family.
I'll read it later.
The victim's older brother is the only one we couldn't talk to.
You!
What do you mean, you weren't able to talk to him?
Immediately following the incident he disappeared.
Why didn't you report that?!
You may release the related party.
Are you sure it's okay?
Superintendent Muroi ordered it.
Good work.
This is the victim's older brother.
We received a report from the jurisdictional station
that they've spotted a suspicious man.
Why didn't you report it to me immediately?!
I didn't think it was important.
Which station?
The vacant station.
The media left, so you don't have to stand guard.
Are you sure?
Good work.
Which idol got engaged?
I don't know.
Please excuse me.
You've answered the English section perfectly, as expected.
But my mathematics are weak.
Don't hit your superior.
Everyone holds back, even if they want to hit someone.
Section Chief Uozumi, Aoshima hasn't worked this many overtime hours!
Isn't preparing a written apology logged as overtime?
Of course not!
I can leave, right?
That's why I hate the police.
Go to the same place as my dead younger sister!
Someone, call emergency!
Yukino!
Run away!
Was he arrested?
Don't move.
Take him away!
Sumire, it's strange.
Is this what it's like when you die?
It's not as painful as I thought.
It protected me.
I can't believe it!
I thought it wouldn't work.
What was that? What was it?
You're the victim's older brother, right?
Listen, I don't sympathize with you.
Japanese law doesn't recognize revenge.
My younger sister was murdered because of her.
I don't sympathize!
Listen. What you tried to do is...
Don't come in!
Please allow me to talk to him.
I'm the family of a victim, too.
I understand how he feels. Please let me talk to him.
The dead person won't come back.
You're a nuisance! We're busy now!
It hurts!
This is from Superintendent Muroi.
It says the victim's older brother is at our station.
He's too late! What's going on?
Did something happen?
Aoshima was stabbed!
Mr. Muroi, did you know about him?
Are you all right?
Please answer me. Did you know?
I was about to be killed!
Why didn't any information come to us?!
It's my responsibility.
Until today, I believed that I worked under you.
What do you expect us to do,
when the upper level does things like this?
Hello, this is Hakamada.
I deeply apologize for the way my officer spoke to you...
I hope you don't intend to remain silent!
Settle down.
I don't know what to say... please inform us sooner...
Speaking on behalf of headquarters,
I know that this is an important matter.
I promise to re-evaluate the organization's system.
From now on, I will work towards the complete exchange of investigative orders
and information, with the jurisdictional stations...
What do you take my officer's life for?!
Hello, Superintendent, I...
He hung up.
I did something terrible...
It's nice to see your manly side, sometimes.
It's too late now.
I don't know.
My condolences.
I was moving forward on the road to advancement.
It's too late.
I'll show you how to write an apology.
I'm leaving.
Will you be all right alone?
I was fine being alone, from the very beginning.
Thank you... for saving me.
It's my job.
I thought detectives were flashier,
but it's quite a boring job.
He won't think about taking revenge anymore.
He'll carry with him the mortification of losing his family member,
and leave the rest to the courts.
He promised me.
Shall we charge him with bodily injury?
I didn't see anything.
Can I get worker's compensation for this?
Will you file charges?
I'll tell them I got stabbed with a knife while peeling an apple.
As long as I get the compensation, it doesn't matter.
Let's get back to work. We only have a few hours left.
Let's enjoy our work, although it's dull.
Get 2 cups of coffee.
The lover forgot her luggage.
