Subbed by VIU
Mum, let's go to the supermarket!
All right. It's dangerous. Sit down.
Good morning!
Please help me lock the door!
Take care.
I apologise.
It's okay. No worries.
Senior Minami is going to yell at me again.
Senior Minami, good morning.
You're doing that again, Deputy Chief?
Yes. The former Chief liked it very much.
So I increased the number of members.
Since there are extra staff, consider increasing our own too.
Don't send me one of those weak girls though.
I got it. I'll try to talk to the new Chief.
All right? All right?
How silly.
Yoga lessons?
But this pose seems difficult. Ouch.
That's the Eagle position.
Please come and have a look if you're interested.
It's strongly recommended for men too.
I'll pass. I've always been weak at sports.
It's okay! We have a lot of students like you too.
Really?
Don't move!
If you move, I'll stab you!
Okay!
Stop!
Excuse me.
Are you looking for this?
I apologise. I saw it in your bag.
It seemed dangerous, so I took the liberty of keeping it for you.
- Wow! - Goodness!
Thank goodness!
Hey!
Don't stop the bus! Start driving!
Yes, Sir!
Excuse me? Please open the door.
Yes, Ma'am!
I made it.
What are you doing? Idiot!
I apologise!
Don't move!
Calm down.
I'm...
a police officer!
The police? What are you doing here?
I'll be your hostage in replacement of them.
Please let all the passengers go instead.
Shut up!
I'll kill everyone and then commit suicide!
It's okay. I'll save you.
I'm sorry!
Please start driving.
Yes, Sir!
Ouch.
Why?
A bus was hijacked?
North Line Number Seven, heading to Municipal Hall?
Got it. Aikawa, you go after it.
A man with a knife hijacked a bus and held the passengers hostage.
There are about 15 passengers. Let's go!
Yes, Sir!
Take out your wallets and put them on the aisle!
Hurry up!
Hey, that woman at the back!
Pick up all the wallets and put them in the paper bag!
Don't you dare stop the bus!
I'll stab him if you stop the bus!
Yes, Sir!
But do stop the bus if there's a red light. It's dangerous.
Shut up! If you say anything again, I'll...
Wait.
I'm very scared of blood and I can't stand pain.
I can't see where the bus is going. It's just moving straight ahead!
Keep track of it. We'll be right there.
Our cases per month...
is going to increase, right?
Idiot! Watch your tongue.
Senior Minami,
we've asked the Special Investigation Team for assistance.
We'll have resolved it before SIT gets there.
Don't use your firearms no matter what, okay?
They're just a safety precaution.
What are you talking about? The new Chief will take office today.
Where is the new Chief?
He's not here yet.
That's why I hate bureaucrats.
What are you doing?
How thin.
What?
Your sandals...
are worn out.
I'm sure you hesitated about where to do this and walked around.
And you got that paper bag from a suburban furniture centre.
How much debt do you own?
One million? Or two million?
- Shut up! - But...
it's really not a great idea to rob the passengers here.
Low sales,
insecurity towards restructuring,
continuous failure at exams,
love troubles at school.
Everyone here is bearing...
their own troubles...
while travelling to work and school every day.
I have a proposal.
Aikawa, how's the situation?
I'm not sure! I'll get to the side of the bus and have a look.
Excuse me, Sir, go that way.
You're just a rookie. Don't make a hasty move!
But... No, back off.
I apologise. Please ignore what I said.
I'm sorry.
What?
What's going on?
Senior!
Senior, that's the bus!
Wait! There are citizens in the bus.
Don't move!
Hi, everyone. I apologise for being late.
He's not the hijacker!
Come on. We're here.
That's the hijacker!
No, wait.
Wait a second.
What's going on?
Everything is fine now.
You feel more afraid than all of us, don't you?
But you didn't hurt anyone.
Well done.
Arrest him!
You'll be in prison for a few years.
Reflect on your crime.
The most dangerous place is the safest place.
That young man told me...
that prison is the safest place to run away from my debtors.
I just have to declare bankruptcy while I'm in prison.
We're done here. You may go now.
Our Chief will award you with a letter of gratitude later.
No, I don't need a letter of gratitude.
Thank you for your kindness.
How dare he involve the police in his debt troubles?
It's okay. It's solved anyway.
Will the new Chief from the Metropolitan Police Department...
criticise us for solving the case in this way?
That's impossible.
Those pencil pushers don't care how we solve the cases.
Those bureaucrats only see this position as a stepping stone.
They only stay with us for two years and then be promoted again.
He became a Chief at the age of 30.
He might become a police Director in the future.
That has nothing to do with us who have no hope of promotion.
We just have to abide by the rules,
and do our best to increase solved cases.
By the way, I heard he's still not here yet.
He's late? What an elite.
Keep quiet. There's a citizen with us here.
How nice. You can talk freely here.
So you're here, Toyama-san.
Deputy Chief, do you know him?
What are you talking about? This is...
You! I'm going to arrest you for obstructing...
official police business!
Wait, Aikawa-kun!
You kicked me out of the bus. That's obstructing a police officer!
I apologise. I was trying to resolve the case before it got complicated.
"Complicated"?
I'm a police officer and you're just a citizen...
He's the Chief!
This is our new Chief!
I forgot to introduce myself.
I'm Toyama Kinshiro, the new Chief of Kitamachi Police Station.
They are 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.
(Offbeat Chief Police)
Attention! Salute!
Please sit down.
At ease!
Thank you very much for welcoming me.
Well...
I encountered such a unique situation the day I take office.
Not only was I late, but I was also handcuffed.
Actually, I've always wanted to work in the field.
However,
I couldn't manage my own schedule though I was at Human Resources.
This is the first time I realised my dream and worked in the field.
Furthermore, I was assigned to Kitamachi Police Station.
It must be fate.
Because my name is Toyama Kinshiro.
What has Toyama Kinshiro assigned to Kitamachi to do with fate?
The legendary Toyama no Kin-san was sent to Kitamachi Office too.
My objective is to make Kitamachi Police Station close to citizens,
and the citizens close to Kitamachi Police Station.
Let's work hard together!
He doesn't look like an elite bureaucrat.
Every day, a large pile...
of reports will be sent to you, Chief.
They include investigation reports, application letters,
and citizen consultation cases.
You only have to stamp them, but this is a huge workload.
I'm already used to paperwork.
You also have to do publicity for crime prevention and elimination.
Additionally, you have to maintain a good relationship...
with the leaders of all self-governing bodies.
"Serial robberies and murders"?
Shake hands. Stamp. Shake hands. Stamp.
And occasionally smile and wave.
Then go on stamping.
The former Chief...
The former Chief fulfilled his two-year duties here...
while bearing with the pain from his tenosynovitis.
Just like all our former Chiefs...
At about 10 PM the day before yesterday,
a witness saw a suspicious man near Shiotsuki Station.
The man hit a policeman with a bag filled with money and fled.
It was confirmed that he hurt his left ring finger and pink finger.
There's a high possibility that he's the wanted man...
who committed serial robberies and killings in the Nishimori area.
Taniguchi Tohru is suspected to have fled to our area.
It'll be difficult for him to any move while carrying 100 million yen.
Anything from CCTV videos?
Unfortunately, we can't really see the face.
However, please take a look at this.
A mole?
It must be Taniguchi.
He can't possibly do something to his ear, right?
Chief!
A case is being put off, but I just can't leave it aside.
You can't leave it aside?
Yes.
I mean this graffiti case which has been reported so many times.
A graffiti case?
It's the broken windows theory.
What is the "broken windows theory?"
Public safety will be compromised if we ignore broken windows.
And that means this area isn't paying enough attention to safety.
The same goes for graffiti.
So do you mean...
we should get people to investigate the graffiti case?
Yes.
Just like the wanted criminal, this graffiti case is a big case too.
No one has ever died in a graffiti case.
I think the graffiti has something to do with...
the wanted criminal.
But that's still a hunch of mine as a police officer.
Chief,
please don't interfere with our work in the field.
Hey, split up and investigate Taniguchi's whereabouts.
- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir!
I thought about where Taniguchi would be hiding at.
Stay out of this, Rookie.
Will that really Chief do well?
He knows nothing about working in the field.
Senior even lost his temper.
He gained experience as he was a policeman right after high school.
I'm sure he can't stand elites who just graduated from universities.
Excuse me, do you have time to talk with us?
This is a suspect in a case. Have you seen him?
Anything will do no matter how trivial it is.
Get out of my way!
Have you ever seen this guy around this area?
How was that?
Nice move.
It isn't checkmate yet.
This guy...
Excuse me...
Let's go!
Yes, Sir!
Chief, regarding the meeting about regional safety...
Chief!
No one wants to be a witness.
Everyone thinks it's none of their business.
They don't feel like this case happened around them.
Excuse me.
Just in case, I'd like to check this place out...
I'm going to the washroom.
Goodness.
A graffiti artist?
You're under arrest!
Ouch. This is a misunderstanding.
I'm against violence.
Chief?
Aikawa-kun, what did you do?
Chief, are you hurt anywhere?
I'm really sorry!
It's okay.
You handcuffed me twice in a day. I admire your passion...
for work.
But why did you disguise yourself as a graffiti artist?
Why did the graffiti artist commit the crime?
I thought I could understand him if I put myself in his shoes.
I see.
Is the Chief really investigating the graffiti case?
And I heard Aikawa messed up his plan again.
Chief also distributed this to the citizens,
with a side note.
The Chief went out into the streets to investigate the case.
He's Toyama no Kin-san indeed.
I'm sorry to bother you while you're so busy.
Chief?
Can someone be my guide?
I'm still not familiar with this area.
I'm sorry, but are you...
Yes. I'd like to begin investigation on the graffiti case officially.
I just can't let it go.
I'd really appreciate it if someone can lend me a hand.
What's going on with him?
Okay.
Aikawa, you assist the Chief.
Chief, please use her as much as you want.
Thank you very much.
Aikawa-san, I'm counting on you from tomorrow on.
Senior, please let me investigate the wanted criminal...
What's this? Are you going through a rebellious phase?
No. She's just anxious.
She's been here for half a year but she hasn't solved any case.
She also failed in the previous operation.
I'm begging you!
Show me some results if you want to come back.
A suspect has stabbed...
a woman on a street in Area 3-5.
All nearby units please rush to the scene.
The suspect has a knife. Please exercise vigilance.
Mum! Mum!
It's great they finally recognised the graffiti case...
and assigned me partner. I feel like a detective now.
I'm not your partner! I'm just your guide.
Chief!
Excuse me.
Chief, have you claimed your wallet, which was taken away...
during the bus hijacking?
My wallet?
I've claimed it. Why do you ask?
There is still a wallet left unclaimed.
That's strange.
Can I take a photo of it?
Yes, Sir.
Chief, let's get on with the investigation!
Okay.
Chief, aren't we in the midst of an investigation?
Those who mock graffiti will cry because of graffiti.
You're not answering my question!
Darn it!
I see it! It's so obvious.
Pardon?
Come have a look.
Can you see the letter "E"?
I think that's just in your mind.
Aikawa-san, please stand there and pose like an "E".
"E", please. I'm counting on you.
"E?"
Yes.
Wait. Your facial expression is a little stiff.
Cheer up.
Amazing.
It became a tourist spot.
- I'm at my limit! - Your expression is too stiff.
You're still concerned about the wanted criminal, aren't you?
It's the duty of the police to arrest criminals.
Chief, why do you insist on investigating on your own?
You'll still be promoted after all.
If I go to the scene, investigate the case, and not miss any detail,
I may be able to prevent...
the worst-case scenario.
Preventing the worst-case scenario by investigating the graffiti case?
You're exaggerating!
There are many other big cases to deal with.
Who are we to decide if a case is big or small?
How would I know?
Why did you choose to become a police officer?
Because I...
Ever since I was little, I hated crimes and I've always...
wanted to become a cool policewoman...
who gives her all to protect citizens.
But...
You are a cool policewoman.
During the bus hijacking,
you did your best to calm the passengers down.
Your priority was to...
protect the citizens, just as a police officer should.
I'd like to rebuild the citizens' faith in the police,
and I believe in the citizens' strength.
So it's true that I must stay alert all the time.
Thank you so much for cleaning the graffiti.
Thank you for your hard work.
All right. Let's begin.
Come on.
Owner, the usual.
Masashi-san, what are you drinking?
Those brats...
Let them be.
How could we?
Well, that boy's father is Senator Todo.
His father lent me this place for my business.
So please sit down.
The mahjong tiles will be burnt.
But the hot plate will be scratched too.
Mind your own business, Uncle Graffiti.
I'd like to ask you all about the graffiti.
Did you see who drew it?
I think we did. Or perhaps we didn't.
So did you?
How about you?
Owner, this person is bothering us.
Excuse me. Would you please leave?
All right. Let's start.
Darn it! What's with their attitudes to adults?
You're a rare one. You're mad, but you're still working hard.
Don't talk as if I'm a precious animal.
Is this the number three?
Pardon? I don't think so.
Sorry, can you pose like the number three?
Again? Why are we taking photos like tourists?
Okay. Cheese.
Are you cleaning the graffiti for us?
Thank you so much!
Matsumoto, do you have any information about Taniguchi?
Nothing useful yet. How about you, Senior?
Same here. Let's look around again around Shiotsuki Station.
Yes, Sir.
Hey...
About the same height as me. About 180 cm.
I see.
What Hey, Kin-san, look.
There's a mole on his ear.
Please contact me if you have any information.
Count on us.
We'll let others know too, Kin-san.
Please also distribute these for me.
Sure!
Don't interfere with our investigation.
I'm not interfering with it. I was just distributing the flyer.
You're just loitering around to me.
Please don't do anything...
that might interfere with our investigation.
He's scary. Who is he?
Am I loitering around?
What do you think?
Show me some results if you want to come back.
How can I show any results? I was only cleaning off graffiti.
Bend a bit more. This is a P after all.
Yes, Sir.
E, three, and P. What do they mean?
I have no idea. Are we done here?
Pose like a P from your heart.
You're still too stiff.
If that's the case, would you like to take some yoga lessons?
Thank you very much for saving us the other day.
You're welcome.
My students told me about you.
They said they wanted to learn from you, Kin-san.
My name is useful after all.
By the way,
there's a wallet...
which was left unclaimed.
Do you have any idea whom it belongs to?
I remember there was a person who was wearing gloves.
I thought it was weird to wear gloves since it's only October.
Were his ring finger and pinkie finger like this?
Yes. That's right!
Is this the person?
I don't think so.
Really? Please look at this face carefully.
So it's as I suspected.
Pardon?
Think about it. He has to hide and has nowhere to go.
But everyone knows how he looks like.
Aikawa-san, if you were the wanted criminal, what would you do?
He can't possibly do something to his ear, right?
Change his face... Plastic surgery?
It's not that he didn't claim his wallet.
He couldn't claim it!
I have the CCTV video from the bus company.
The video isn't very clear,
but there was indeed a man who was wearing gloves.
He escaped when we were arresting the hijacker.
The fingerprints on this wallet...
are identical to the fingerprints from the robberies.
They belong to Taniguchi who really did change his face.
Wait. Was he carrying a bag?
He wasn't when he was on the bus.
If he got on the bus in Kitamachi, that means he hid the money here.
Let's go find where Taniguchi is!
Yes, Sir!
Senior Minami, please let me join the investigation team again.
I'm begging you!
Come back tomorrow.
Thank you very much!
Fingers. Gloves.
Paint.
Chief!
Welcome back.
According to the information from the housewives,
I found three more graffiti spots.
Here's an M and an L.
It was difficult to pose like an L.
And this is the third one.
I think it looks like an H.
Aikawa-san, please pose like an H.
Yes, Sir.
H.
There's another line here.
Okay. Give me your right hand.
Raise your left hand up straight.
If you can't do it alone, you can make it with someone else.
Chief,
I have been allowed back into the investigate of the wanted criminal.
I gave them the information about Taniguchi...
and his plastic surgery. I claimed credit for your work.
But I want to be independent as soon as possible.
No matter what you think,
no one will recognise me if I don't solve any big cases.
So from now on, I can't join you...
It's okay.
I already figured out the meaning behind the graffiti.
Really? What do they mean?
There's a message behind them?
- Chief? - Wait.
That kid...
That's the first spot where we cleaned the graffiti, right?
The spot where we found the letter E?
Hey, you!
Aikawa-san!
What?
Good job.
Aren't those people from Minamimachi Police Station?
What happened?
Why did people from Minamimachi Police Station come here?
It's all the Chief's fault!
He caught a high school student who drew the graffiti.
The boy ran to the Minamimachi area, but he didn't inform the them.
They warned us that if we broke the rules again,
they would arrest the wanted criminal without informing us too.
Our relationship with them is already bad enough.
Iitsuka Masashi-kun,
why did you draw the graffiti?
To de-stress.
You were given a warning by the police...
for beating up a homeless person, correct?
You also said that you were in a bad mood back then.
You would do anything just to de-stress?
Have you ever considered the feelings of the victims?
Don't act as if you're that great.
The police...
can't do anything.
Hey, may I have a look at your arm?
Why are you doing a body search now?
Ever since we saw you,
you've been putting your hand there like this.
It's as if you're hiding a wound...
or bearing the pain caused by a bruise.
Did someone beat you up or kick you?
It has something to do with the graffiti, right?
H.
E.
L.
P.
M.
And finally,
this isn't the number three, but the letter E.
"Help me"?
You don't believe in anyone,
but you're suffering so much that you want to ask for help.
You expressed your feelings through the graffiti.
You have the right to remain silent.
Don't force yourself if you don't feel like talking.
But can you please give me a chance?
I'll protect you.
You may go now.
Please wait!
We'll summon you again for causing damage to buildings.
I'll definitely keep my word. I'll protect you...
Don't act like a hero.
Minami-san, please let me take charge of his interrogation later.
Stop playing detective.
You've caused trouble for us who work in the field.
You manage paperwork while we investigate.
Don't interfere with the jobs of others.
This is the rule in organisations... No,
this is just common sense.
Stop differentiating us by our positions.
The so-called organisational rules or common sense...
have nothing to do with the citizens.
Act like an elite bureaucrat and get off your high horse.
Why don't you just consider...
your career path just like all the former Chiefs?
Minami-san is so scary.
He got so close to me. And his eyes were staring daggers.
Please excuse me.
Hi.
It seems like you were given a lecture, Kinshiro-kun.
Osakabe-san!
I was watching you.
I was concerned about sending you...
into the field.
Everything happened as I had expected, didn't they?
You...
always act before talking.
I finally got to work in the field,
so I just wanted to work peacefully with everyone else.
I'm a pacifist after all.
A pudding...
Pardon?
It looks white, soft and calm from the outside,
but when you dig into it,
you see the bitter caramel.
I like caramel quite a lot, though.
I won't be able to protect the citizens if I'm only sweet.
What? Pork rice bowl again?
It's a good omen so that your father will solve the case.
Don't eat it if you don't like it.
By the way, everyone at my yoga class is talking about it.
A passionate and handsome new policeman...
is helping us clean the graffiti.
He's not only handsome but also kind.
- Indeed. - He's totally different from Dad.
That guy doesn't go by the rules.
When you were young,
you broke the rules all the time too.
I apologise!
I didn't abide by the rules...
and acted on my own.
It's okay, Minami.
You didn't abide by the rules, but you protected the citizens.
What's the use of a police who can't help people who are in need?
Since there's a handsome guy, why don't I be a police officer too?
Definitely not! I forbid it!
Don't take it seriously.
If I'm not an elite bureaucrat who graduated from a top university,
I would definitely be bossed around. It must be tough.
Pack up some clothes. I'll sleep at the police station from tomorrow on.
You can pack up yourself, can't you?
Hey, Masashi, you're all wet.
Masashi, how are you doing?
Masashi-san!
You're the last one. I'm counting on you.
Are you the Chief of Kitamachi Police Station?
This is Senator Todo.
I'm counting on you regarding my son's case.
Yes, that's right.
He was instigated by a kid named Masashi.
Good morning.
Masashi-san!
You let the police arrest you on purpose, didn't you?
It was so obvious.
I didn't!
You know it well, don't you?
We won't be guilty no matter what we do. We'll always be forgiven.
That's a pen knife, you know?
How scary. It's dangerous. You're going to be killed.
I'll protect you.
Or should we stab you with it?
Are we playing hide-and-seek, Masashi-san?
Masashi-san?
The citizens didn't provide any useful information about Taniguchi.
We'll rely on ourselves. That's how we've been doing it.
Hello? This is Minami.
What? Taniguchi?
You're not carrying a bag today.
Where did you hide the money?
I won't let you hurt anyone.
This is Toyama.
Help me.
Masashi-kun?
They're going to kill me.
Masashi-san!
Stop hiding. Come out!
Where are you?
I'm in an abandoned building near Kanabashi.
Help me.
Are you sure? Taniguchi showed up?
Yes. He bought some bandages and disinfectants at about 2 PM.
I believe they were for his injured fingers.
We finally have some useful information.
Some citizens read the flyers and learnt about his injuries.
The Chief distributed those flyers.
It's the Chief.
Hello? This is Aikawa.
I found the criminal!
The criminal? The graffiti case is already...
I mean Taniguchi, the wanted criminal.
Taniguchi?
I tried to approach him in Nakamori Tunnel, but he fled.
This is Minami.
Please search around the scene before we get there.
I need to go somewhere.
Masashi-kun is in danger at an abandoned building near Kanabashi.
Masashi?
He's the high school student who drew the graffiti.
Please don't leave the scene!
I promised him that I would help him.
That brat must be pulling a prank.
He isn't.
What's the use of a police who can't help people who are in need?
Please get Taniguchi.
I believe in you.
We can't rely on an elite bureaucrat after all.
We must arrest Taniguchi!
Yes, Sir!
Masashi-kun.
We found you.
You have nowhere to run now.
I apologise for being late.
Really? Uncle Hero came to rescue him?
Are you here to beat us up?
Watch out!
You're exposing yourself too much!
Uncle, you're useless.
Give it to me.
Go to hell, Masashi!
Aikawa-san?
If you can't do it alone, you can make it with someone else,
right?
Beat them up!
Hey!
I'll kill you!
Get off of me!
Hey, you!
Hey!
Get off of me! Hey!
Thank you for believing in me.
Aikawa-san,
please contact Minami-san immediately.
I know where Taniguchi is.
Worry about yourself...
instead of the money.
How did you know where he was?
It was neither the number three nor an E.
It wasn't "Help me".
It was "Help Masashi Iitsuka".
Masashi-kun, you drew an I, didn't you?
The criminal tried to open the door with his three fingers,
so the I became the number three.
Hello?
Understood.
They've arrested Taniguchi!
The graffiti case was really connected to the wanted criminal.
Chief!
How is your injury?
I'm fine.
You're not fine at all!
- I'm fine. - You've been cut!
- I'm fine. - I'm a little anaemic.
I'm fine.
Hey, you! Bring me the first-aid kit!
Let's go.
We still have work to do.
This, this and this...
were all done by you, wasn't it?
Senator Todo, please don't go any further. You can't!
- It's okay. - We'll check on him for you.
Get out of my way! You too!
Please wait!
Dad.
Are you okay, Tomochi?
These people are bad.
I didn't do anything bad, but they're treating me like a criminal.
- They're putting the blame on me! - That's not true!
We witnessed everything ourselves.
I only did it because Masashi-san threatened me.
I'm a victim!
That's true.
Please let my son go right now.
That cannot be done.
I'm very close to your superiors.
I can destroy you if I want.
Don't disobey me. Protect yourself.
I can't stay out of this.
You're nobodies. I don't want to talk to you!
Get your Chief here.
Tell him Senator Todo is here. He'll come rushing.
But...
Do it! Get your newly-appointed Chief here!
I'm Toyama Kinshiro, the newly-appointed Chief.
What?
I vow in the name of the sakura that I won't connive any crime!
