Subbed by VIU
This is our new chief!
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 at all.
I'll go to the scene, investigate the case, and not miss any detail,
She's been here for half a year but she hasn't solved any case.
She also failed in the previous operation.
I've always wanted to become a cool policewoman...
who gives her all to protect citizens.
You're not qualified to be the chief.
I don't believe in you.
I'll bear that in mind.
So everyone, do you understand the job of the police chief now?
Yes!
Everyone from the Criminal Division team, let's thank the chief.
- Thank you, Sir! - Thank you, Sir!
You're welcome. Come to Kin-san whenever you need help. All right?
If there's an evil guy, I'll definitely catch him.
- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir!
Kin-san, let's play together!
Okay.
Let's play outside.
All right! Let's go have a look at the equipment of the police now.
Let's go!
All right. Take care!
Come on. Let's go.
Come on.
Remember to hold hands.
All right.
Okay! We've briefed all the teams.
And now...
Just like what you explained to the kids,
please grasp the overall situation at the police station and then...
stamp, stamp, stamp.
Since you've waved and gave a smile, please deal with the documents now.
Hey, stop it! That's enough!
My goodness. Why does no one listen to me?
Yes?
Can I catch the werewolf with this?
The werewolf?
What happened now?
Stop it! My goodness.
What are you doing over there?
Hey, are you okay?
Wait.
Tomoki-kun?
I saw Aikawa-san with a bunch of kids just now.
They're on a police station tour.
Every division has to send one person to be their guide.
No wonder they were shouting "Criminal Division team".
The chief came up with the idea of organising these tours.
He interferes in both investigations and event planning.
Can't he just stay away from us and do his job as the police chief?
- Chief! - Chief.
Hello. I'm concerned about a police report.
Again?
Someone heard a woman screaming while taking a stroll in Ujima Park.
We're investigating that case.
And a citizen nearby that area comes to lodge a police report every day.
It might be related to the screaming.
That's an old lady who loves lodging police reports.
She even lodges a report when she sees a cockroach.
Really? I see.
Chief.
Why are you in casual clothes again?
Are you going to meet that old lady?
She might know something about the screaming.
If you interfere, we'll have to fix everything you mess up!
Don't get mad!
Ouch.
I can put a handcuff on you, can't I?
Sorry! Have you seen a boy come here?
Hey!
Goodness.
Wait!
Tomoki-kun, where's the key?
Stop right there!
Chief, this isn't the time to play games!
Tomoki-kun, you can't do this!
Don't get mad!
I'm not mad.
Tomoki-kun, where's the key?
Can you help me catch the werewolf?
- The werewolf? - Who cares about that?
Give me the key.
- Give me the key! - Give us the key.
- Come on! - Come on!
- Hurry up! - Come on!
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.
(Offbeat Chief Police)
We can only wait for the key to be naturally expelled.
I'll keep him in the hospital for a day.
I'm counting on you.
Okay. Let's go to the wash room.
How am I supposed to work like this?
He swallowed the key.
That kid is really something.
I just don't get kids nowadays.
I heard he mistook Senior as a werewolf.
He does resemble one.
"Catch the werewolf"?
Are you doing this on purpose?
It's difficult to walk without swinging my arms.
Thank you for your hard work.
Regarding the case of a woman screaming near Ujima Park...
This is a rare opportunity. Let's look into it together.
Taking part in an investigation isn't part of a chief's job.
Senior, thank you for your hard work.
Expand your area in front of Shiotsuki Station...
and ask if anyone saw Fujii on September 10th.
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
Sorry, Mizuguchi, take the photo out of my pocket.
Please excuse me.
It's further inside.
This plump beauty is exactly my type.
How could you say something like that about a dead victim?
Motoyama-san, that's not what I meant.
A dead victim?
There was a murder in an apartment in front of Shiotsuki Station.
We'll solve the case very soon. Please don't worry about it.
Chief!
Ouch!
I've brought all the keys for the handcuffs.
Thank you.
None of them fit.
Stop it. You can't just break police equipment.
A professional shouldn't do that.
Japanese products are impressive.
Even the worst criminal can't escape from this.
We can only wait now. We'll have to get the key from Tomoki-kun.
Come in.
Chief, an unscheduled guest is here to see you.
Please let her in. I can't go meet her so I asked her to come.
Don't tell me you...
Yes, it's the lady who lodges police reports all the time.
You wear slacks and a neck tie at work. That's very cool.
I'm sometimes called self-centred among my male colleagues.
You didn't lose yourself.
As a woman, I think this is a thing to be proud of.
Tomoki-kun wanted us to catch a werewolf.
Marie-san?
There's a popular game that let's you catch characters on the streets.
I'm not very aware of things that are in trend.
The werewolf is one of the characters in the game.
Are you thirsty? I'll go buy some drinks.
It's okay. I'll go.
It's okay. Please be seated.
Does your wound still hurt?
No, I'm here this time because of my son.
I see.
You just came this morning, so I was worried.
Get well soon.
Thank you very much.
What's wrong?
Your phone was ringing.
I'm sorry.
It's my husband.
Hello?
Tomoki? He's fine.
I apologise for meeting you in this condition.
It's karma. You always ignore my reports!
The police isn't obliged to kill cockroaches for you.
It's not only cockroaches!
A light bulb burned out! The food delivery was too slow!
I'm having a lot of trouble!
Please leave.
This is exactly who you are.
- The police... - Please wait...
That's enough. You're wasting your time.
You said you heard a woman screaming last night?
It was Otori-san next door.
I can always hear plates breaking from her home.
I lodged a police report a long time ago,
but the police told me the couple was only quarrelling.
- Otori? - Otori?
- Thank you very much! - What?
- Ouch! - Darn it!
My hand!
I apologise for not being able to return it to you yet.
It's not your fault.
I'll contact you immediately when the key is expelled.
Excuse me, Marie-san, this morning at the hospital...
Marie!
Dear.
I'm Aikawa from Kitamachi Police Station.
I'm Otori, an attorney.
I apologise that my son has caused you so much trouble.
Please send my regards to Senior Minami.
Do you know Senior?
Yes. He's been taking good care of me.
- Come in. - Please excuse me.
Where's the key?
It's not expelled yet.
I apologise.
The screaming came from Tomoki-kun's house.
Tomoki-kun's mother...
went to the hospital this morning to have bruises looked at.
Screaming and bruises?
Maybe something happened to her? Did she lodge a police report?
She hasn't made any report.
She might not be able to do so due to certain circumstances.
Certain circumstances?
For instance, her husband being violent.
Marie-san looked frightened when her husband called her.
Perhaps she signed up Tomoki for the tour...
so that someone would find out about it.
Senior, do you know his husband?
She was murdered in her own apartment on September 10th.
President Fujii claimed to be...
on a business trip in Kyushu at that time.
However, the information we've found indicates that...
he met up with you in Tokyo on the day the murder happened.
Minami-san, I'm an attorney.
Even if it's a criminal case,
we have the right to remain silent. You do know that, don't you?
Please leave.
I don't mind coming back as many times as needed.
Otori-san,
this murder case can't be solved without your testimony.
Otori is going to testify against the suspect,
so we can't get into any conflict with him now.
A murder case and a domestic violence case.
Both cases are about life and death.
Don't make a big deal out of domestic conflicts.
I'm not.
One person dies every three days due to domestic violence.
We can't do anything since the victim didn't make a report.
We should act as long as someone might be getting hurt.
There are many families that are living with domestic violence.
Are you going to tend to all of them?
Aikawa-san, what do you think?
If the victim didn't make a report, the police can't...
Aikawa-san, tell me your own opinion.
I...
Sorry!
I need to use the wash room.
What?
You didn't lose yourself.
As a woman, I think this is a thing to be proud of.
What? My zip is stuck.
I need to use my right hand.
Wait!
Wait. I touched it. I touched it. Hey!
It got on my hand. It got on my hand!
I apologise for bothering you after such a short time.
It's about the key, right? It's not out yet.
We can't get into any conflict with him.
When will your husband be back?
He always comes back late.
Why do you ask?
I didn't come for the key, it's regarding a police report.
I apologise for causing you trouble due to a conflict with my husband.
You and Tomokoi joined the event today...
to ask for help, didn't you?
If your husband is committing domestic violence...
You're back.
Welcome back. You're early today.
I couldn't concentrate on work...
as I was too worried...
about Tomoki.
Misato-san,
I'll contact you immediately when the key is expelled.
Please pardon my intrusion.
We can do something about it if you lodge a report.
I received many people's blessings when I gave birth to Tomoki.
The same goes for when I married my husband.
Marie-san...
Some feelings accumulate as time goes by.
He's not only my husband, but also Tomoki's father.
The police can't be responsible for other people's lives, right?
He shoved my shoulder on purpose!
Shut up and sit down!
That's because you were focused on your game while you were walking!
But you still have no right to hit me!
- You were the one who... - What's going on?
We were asking around in front of Shiotsuki Station...
when we saw these two men fighting, so we brought them to the station.
It's all your fault. I missed a very rare character!
Bring them to the interrogation room.
Is it about a game that catches characters on the streets?
I'm playing it too.
Really?
But that's weird.
There should be no characters near Shiotsuki Station.
May I have a look at your smartphone?
It'll just take a minute.
What? The game isn't even installed here.
It's against the law to pretend to be playing a game...
when you're actually taking these photos!
And you!
You shoved him instead...
on purpose, didn't you?
What do you mean?
I see two lumps in your jacket.
Fighting, voyeurism, and pick-pocketing.
Stop struggling and go to the interrogation rooms.
Stand up!
That's right. Keep quiet and go to the interrogation rooms.
Stop torturing this old body of mine.
The perfect combination of great insight and intimidation.
If they go on dealing with cases while stuck together,
our solved cases rate will definitely increase.
Okay. Let's get back to work.
More cases are most likely to occur.
At the same time, the investigation on the murdered mistress will go on.
We have neither the intention nor power...
to investigate a domestic violence case which has not been reported.
More domestic violence cases will occur then.
There's an occasion I must attend.
Can you come with me?
What's going on?
This is to celebrate Kin-san's appointment as the chief.
You won't do something like this anyway.
You really should thank your wife.
Actually, I've been looking forward to a welcoming party.
How do you know Midori?
No, she's Rika-san's...
Don't mind the trivial things.
Come on. Let's eat!
A relative in Hokkaido sent me these crabs.
You won't be able to eat the crabs this way.
Who cares? I only need alcohol.
Please hold this for me.
Here you go.
We can solve problems if we work together.
You're smart. He's an elite indeed.
Please marry me!
What? No way!
She's just kidding! You're so slow.
Rika-san, not only is Dad slow, but his body is also stiff.
Please come for yoga lessons together next time.
That sounds nice! Right?
Thank you.
I'll go to the hospital after dinner.
Why did you join the police station tour?
Why?
Mum.
He tried to act tough, but look at how drunk he is.
- Sorry. - Excuse me.
She hasn't called about the key yet.
Are you really worried about the key?
I went to see Marie-san, but she didn't seem to need my help.
Senior was right.
I'm just an inexperienced rookie. Even citizens might think so.
I've never thought of you as just a rookie.
I really am a rookie.
I didn't manage to arrest the criminal last summer...
nor did I save the victim.
Mum!
If I didn't go after the criminal...
but sent the victim to a hospital right away,
the victim wouldn't have died.
Even so, I can't revert my failure.
Aikawa-san, don't you think this is great?
Don't you feel touched when you see this?
Look.
I'm not a kid.
Just keep that smile.
Please believe in the justice you insist on deep down.
All right!
My goodness!
I captured a really rare character! Look!
Stop playing the game and come help me out.
Everyone is playing the game.
I'm playing it too.
There's a werewolf in the game, right?
Tomoki-kun's mother told me about it.
That's why Tomoki-kun wanted us to help him catch the werewolf.
There isn't any werewolf in the game.
How dare she continue with this.
We'll be in big trouble if a newbie wouldn't even do it.
There won't be any changes in the organisation.
What's going on?
Two men are fighting while being handcuffed.
Superintendent Osakabe.
Long time no see, Minami-kun.
I didn't know you two know each other.
When I was still a novice at headquarter's Criminal Division,
we worked together for a while on a joint investigation. Right?
This police station hasn't changed at all.
That's because nothing has ever changed.
Be it the station or the police.
By the way, how is Kinshiro-kun doing his job as the chief?
Forgive me for being honest, but he's doing a bad job.
You're straightforward as usual.
I'm hurt.
You'll cause us more trouble if you don't do your management job well.
We detectives must follow orders from the top.
We might even be killed because of a mistake you make.
If that's the case,
we should disregard our position ranking,
work hard to fix the mistakes.
What a perfunctory speech.
I really think so.
That's why I joined the bureaucracy.
That's who he is.
Anyway, take a good care of him.
I'll excuse myself now.
Hear that?
He has good taste.
They're all plump beauties.
Plump beauties?
All of them look the same to me.
Motoyama-san, that means you're old.
What are you up to?
This is the mobile phone confiscated from the Shiotsuki Station voyeur.
Shiotsuki Station?
There are thousands of photos saved on the phone. He's sick.
I think you better look through all the photos carefully.
Please don't order the men according to your gut feeling.
Senior, someone called to complain about Aikawa-san.
Who is it?
It's Attorney Otori.
He said she had advised his wife to report him...
for domestic violence without any evidence of it.
What?
And he isn't going to testify in the murder case.
This is bad.
I'm on my way to work. You're causing me trouble.
Aikawa from my team has offended you.
Like I said, I have nothing else to say.
Otori-san, your testimony is very important to us.
I've been accused for no reason. I don't believe in the police anymore.
Excuse me. Can I go in and have a look?
If you're looking for Marie, she's with Tomoki.
Other than Aikawa-san, your other subordinates are suspecting me.
No, that's not true.
You're a police officer and I'm an attorney.
We both do our best to protect those who are in need.
I understand your situation, but I'm sorry.
Please leave.
I'm begging you!
You bow every time we meet. I'm fed up with this.
I'm begging you!
Is bowing one of your jobs as a policeman?
I won't let Aikawa come near your wife again.
I'm thinking about suing your station for defamation.
Please leave.
Thank you.
Tomoki-kun, you didn't eat the onions.
I hate onions.
Has Marie-san been here today?
She was supposed to stay here last night, but...
Come in.
Chief, Senior, the key...
Someone complained about you.
You advised Otori's wife to report her husband, didn't you?
She could be a victim of domestic violence...
The police have no right to act on just a suspicion.
But what if something bad happens? I'll go...
What if something happens if you do this?
The police will be blamed for dereliction of duty.
Even if nothing happens,
we'll be blamed for acting outside our jurisdiction.
Her husband even said he would sue us for defamation!
What's worse, Otori has refused to testify for us.
It's because you intervened in something you shouldn't have.
Was Marie-san at the hospital?
That...
So she wasn't.
Chief, please forget about the domestic violence case.
You'll be held responsible if the station is sued.
I'll take the responsibility if I can't save the citizens.
And I would have done the same thing if I were Aikawa-san.
But...
You!
Senior!
No matter what you say, you're just a bureaucrat!
You don't know how tough it is for us who investigate the cases.
You put on shows to look good and mess up with our investigations.
You're really not qualified as a police chief.
Excuse me.
Senior, the old lady called our division to lodge a complaint again.
She still doesn't get it!
What did she complain about?
She heard loud noises next door last night.
- Aikawa-san, hand me the key. - No! We're still talking here.
- Hurry. - I won't let you go!
Give me the key.
We're trying to arrest a murderer!
Don't leave yourself in regret for not saving someone. Give it to me.
- Aikawa-chan! - Hey!
- What are you doing? - I want to save lives.
Ouch.
- Excuse me! - I'm sorry!
Hey.
Chief!
Marie-san!
Marie-san?
Marie-san...
You're suffering, aren't you?
It was just a fight with my husband.
I made him mad.
Instead of me, save Tomoki.
What happened to Tomoki-kun?
The hospital just called. He ran away from the hospital.
- I have to find him. - Wait!
Please worry about yourself right now.
I'll definitely find Tomoki-kun.
Aikawa-san, meet up at the police station.
Yes, Sir!
Let's go to the police station.
Tomoki will definitely be fine.
Chief will definitely find him.
- Senior... - I'm going out.
Senior,
we found something very important.
What is it?
Chief wanted us to look through the photos, so I did.
Marie-san, please come in.
I think I'll go home.
Please excuse me.
You're safe here.
Tomoki-kun!
I'm not mad at you.
You're not mad?
I came to praise you.
You swallowed the key to save Mum, right?
The key came out. I have to go save Mum!
Save Mum from the werewolf, right?
Everything is fine now.
We've found out who the werewolf is.
I did a lot of research last night.
That's a lot...
I apologise!
I could only do this.
Please let me help you.
Not as a police officer, but as a woman.
When things get really bad,
you and Tomoki-kun can even stay at my place.
Misato-san...
Please let me do my best...
to help you as a human being.
I'm begging you!
Misato-san, I...
Marie, let's go home.
The police is very busy. You're causing them trouble.
Let's have a chat while you wait for her.
I have nothing to talk about with a young policeman like you.
Senior, what's going on?
So we caused you trouble again. I apologise.
Please come with me.
Marie, I'm waiting for you.
Tomoki-kun is under the care of the hospital.
I apologise for causing you trouble.
"Dad is a werewolf, so he transforms into a scary person sometimes,"
"but he'll turn back into your gentle dad soon after."
You don't want Tomoki to hate your husband.
That's why you told him that, right?
Tomoki-kun knows about everything.
Marie-san, you've been holding back for Tomoki-kun's sake.
He can't possibly know that...
He does.
Mum always hides from me and cries alone.
If I catch her crying, she'll say she's crying because of onions.
He's been worried about you.
He handcuffed us...
and swallowed the key...
because he was trying his best to save you.
Marie-san, you're everything in Tomoki-kun's world.
"I came to this world as a boy to protect Mum."
"I want to see Mum smiling."
That's what he said.
Let's protect this feeling of his.
How long do I have to wait?
I thought about it.
I will reconsider testifying in the murder case.
Marie.
Let's go home.
Marie-san won't be under your control again.
You should have been...
a gentle husband in front of your family instead of other people.
I don't understand what you're talking about.
You're under arrest.
We were only arguing.
And no one made a report.
If the police keep interfering in lives of citizens...
I'll lodge a report.
You...
They weren't arguments, it was domestic violence.
Please follow me to the interrogation room.
Are you sure about this? I won't testify in the case.
I don't mind.
Please come in.
President Fujii!
A voyeur took a photo of his mistress.
This photo was taken just before his mistress was murdered.
I was there for a consultation. I have nothing to do with the murder!
I know.
"The president wasn't in Tokyo."
It's enough as long as we can prove against this alibi.
Please atone your sins of mistreating your wife.
You were convinced by this girl?
She didn't listen to me. I had no other way but to beat her!
This isn't domestic violence! I was only educating my wife!
I can't ignore this.
I provide her food and shelter.
How is a woman with a child going to live on their own?
It's my right to do whatever I want with them!
The police have no right to interfere in my business.
I'm not guilty.
I'm not guilty!
Can you repeat those words in court?
Give that to me.
Give me that!
You can't force others into submission with violence.
If that actually works, you wouldn't need the police.
You're just a detective who takes orders. Shut up!
Call your chief! I want to see him!
I am Chief Toyama Kinshiro.
You're the police chief?
I vow in the name of the sakura that I won't connive any crime!
You can leave the hospital now. Isn't that great?
Yes!
I'll send you home.
We're going back to my home town in Nagoya.
I see.
Don't look upset.
We'll come back after we calm down.
I like this city.
- Right? - Yes!
I'll protect Mum. Don't worry!
You're very reliable.
I apologise for saying...
the police can't take responsibility for the lives of other people.
It's okay. It was the chief who solved everything.
It was because you stayed by side...
that I had the courage to move forward, Misato-san.
Thank you very much.
I apologise for everything.
Do you plan to let all domestic violence victims stay at your place?
The police can't take responsibility for the lives of other people.
That's not a police officer's job as well.
Even so, I'd like to do my best to help people whenever I can.
We can solve problems if we work together.
If Fujii wasn't caught on camera,
the murder case wouldn't have been be solved.
We got lucky this time.
You might not have the same luck next time.
Don't mess up our investigations.
Please act like a police chief and work from your office.
I'm glad we can hold hands.
- Ouch! - Reply him!
You're so rude!
I didn't know you two were coming too.
That's why your body is so stiff.
All right, everyone!
I'll introduce you to the dancer's pose today.
The dancer's pose...
stretches your back, hip and legs.
Senior Minami, why don't you try doing it?
My goodness. I wonder if you have any joints.
This has nothing to do with joints!
Senior Minami, you should watch your body axis.
Your body axis.
Look!
I can do the dancer's pose! Look!
She's after the properties?
What a devilish woman.
You'll convict the wrong person if you don't investigate objectively.
So Okuda Eriko is innocent?
A totally unrelated person became the beneficiary of the properties.
Toyama-san, it's all your fault.
This doesn't seem like a coincidence.
She has no reason to lie about her alibi.
She does.
She was after Dad's properties. That woman did it.
We found out...
where you were, and what you did.
