It's been a long time, Sekimoto.
We finally meet again...
Yuuki-san.
You have...
supported this country from the shadows...
since GCHQ was established in 1945.
GCHQ - British internet spy service
However, 10 years ago, rumors spread that you were dead...
and you made yourself untraceable.
The Wildcat...
still has a long way to run.
If the Wildcat rebelled against you...
Does the Wildcat know of our connection?
No, I don't think he's noticed.
It's already almost 20 years ago...
that I was Yuuki-sensei's secretary and you his bodyguard.
And now we're trying to create a new world together.
Destiny is a strange thing.
For starters, I will make this Tokyo an immaculate city.
I'm still counting on your assistance.
One. Two. Three!
"Your shares are rising and you make 3 million yen!"
Yuss Yuss Yuss! I'm so good! I'm coming along!
One. Two. Three.
"Your house is entirely destroyed in a fire."
Serves you riiiiight!
That's the kind of star you were born under!
You god of poverty!
'There's no need to call me names.
This is the first time I've seen anyone take a board game so seriously.
Right! "For your housewarming you receive 2 million yen from your neighbour on the left."
Eh? I'm already out of money. - Huh?
Can't be helped.
Well, I'll lend you some.
You can pay back in installments but make sure you pay, you bastard.
Goal!
Yes! The end! Liquidation! Let's count up!
You don't play until everyone has reached the goal?
Don't be naive, idiot! It's not as if...
everyone always reaches their goal in real life!
It's . A . Wild . Cat...
Ruuuuuule! -Yeah, yeah...
Ah, sorry, sorry.
It's finished already?
It ended at precisely this moment, Sir.
Here you are. 3 million 230,000 yen. - Ah, you're solid as always.
Here you are. - Thank you.
What's going on? - Huh?
It's a fee. A fee.
In order to get money from the bad guys...
we really went all out, right? This is our pay.
Eh? You decide the amount of your reward with a boardgame?
Oh? How much did you have again? Let's seee... let's see let's see...
Minus 2 million yen.
Your are a truly unfortunate man.
Wa--- wait a moment. Just because I got so unlucky...
I'm supposed to pay money? That's just weird.
Katsumura... in your opinion, is what we are doing justice...
or a crime?
What's this all of a sudden.
I haven't figured it out yet.
But I can say one thing.
There are people who have been saved through your actions.
So make sure you return that 2 million yen! - But...
With a seal, even...
Give it a rest! Mao-chan!
Say someth---
Totally into getting the cash...
Since we're letting you stay in this house...
Rent! Utility costs!
Ehm... Food. Ex-pen-se...
Well, with all that subtracted...
I guess this is about it.
500 yen...
That's less than my classmates get in pocket money!
Yes! That's definitely not enough!
Thanks to her we were able to destroy the Georgia mafia.
And because I acted as your substitute, you could run away.
So please do us justice there!
You two are really...
tainted by the money.
Look who's talking!
Well, well... just work hard next time.
Are you not receiving anything, Sekimoto-san?
I'm a detective. I'm fine with the money that's left.
Wait, isn't that most of it?
That's not fair!
Stop the nagging! Or should I arrest you for gambling?
There it is... that's abusing of your authority.
This... - Huh?
That takes me back.
Hosoda was bad at this too...
Whether I killed him or not.
Judge it with your own five senses.
Have you been able to meet Yuuki yet?
No, not yet.
We have to search for another opportunity.
I see.
Huh?
That's the data Hosoda researched before he died.
Whether you killed him or not, someone was after his life.
He may have looked too deeply while pursuing this information.
Maybe he found out a truth he was not supposed to know.
What does that have to do with you?
The people who were after Hosoda Masao...
may be the same people who tried to kill me.
Find out the truth, Wildcat-san. For Hosoda-kun's sake too.
You said the Wildcat doesn't kill anyone!
Meow.
Due to a drop of team members in HQ, we will take over the Hosoda Masao case.
That's why inspectors Morita and Fukuhara...
came here from the main office.
So we will work together again.
Let's work well together. - Yes.
One more...
*unintelligible pseudo-English*
I questioned him and...
Jackpot!
Oy, enough already!
Assistant Inspector Inui.
YES SIR!
Huh? Sakura-chan.
Why so cold?
Let me come straight to the point. Let's divide into a group investigating the Hosoda case...
and into another one searching for the Wildcat.
We don't need to split up. - What do you mean?
Hosoda and the Wildcat are connected.
That's what I mean.
Oy, wait! Oy!
I'm sorry... he's an excellent detective...
but he's got an attitude problem.
He is quite a mad dog.
A pun on Inui's name. "Inu" is written with the kanji for "dog".
Kirishima, go with Inui.
What!? - Just hurry up and go!
Yes, Sir.
Moldau Real Estates.
They're a well-established business, but their reputation is bad.
It seems like Hosoda-san was investigating their acquisition of a mountain.
Why would he research mountains...?
Didn't Hosoda say that his parents owned a mountain?
Aaaah!
YUSSSS! "You are selling a mountain for 100 million yen." Gets!
Wait a second, can you really sell a mountain for 100 million?
Please contact our customer service for complaints.
My family owns a mountain, but even we sold it, it would be dirt cheap.
Well, in our case our house is on that mountain...
and there's my dead father's factory...
and my mother doesn't want to give up on it.
What the hell, fatso...
don't bring your personal stuff into it. - OW!
Hosoda-san sold that mountain to Moldau Real Estates?
The mountain that was only dirt cheap?
Fair point. And there's his family home and the factory, too.
Didn't he have a good relationship with his parents?
Hmmm.
Two. Three. "You leave home and live by yourself."
Well, I lived with my family until I was 30.
I only kept causing trouble for my mom...
and ever since I was arrested for hacking, we haven't even met once...
I said what the hell!
Don't keep...
projecting half your life onto this game all the time, fatso!
OW!
So, he was estranged from his mother?
Yeah, didn't he say that they met recently?
Aah!
"Take your parents on a holiday with you."
Ah, yeah, I met my mom for the first time in a long time.
She's got dementia now...
and she treats me like a total stranger.
On top of it, she got cheated in some land transactions...
and kicked out of our family home.
I am so not interested in this... FATSO!
Don't try to draw our attention to these unhappy episodes!
OW!
Your putdown there was a bit too cruel.
Why did you only hear about these things while you were playing boardgames?
Silly girl. If money isn't involved...
I won't listen seriously to people's old stories.
It's really all about money money money money then!
MEOWHAT? Say that after you've returned my 2 million yen!
Loser! - AAAAARGH!
To sort this out: If Hosoda returned to his family home after a long time...
and sold the mountain because his mother had been cheated in a land transaction...
then what? - Excellent!
?? Aaaa, the mark of happiness...
?? Where to... - What are you listening to?
Best of Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi featuring The Wildcat!
Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi is a Japanese singer-songwriter who is a prominent figure in Japanese popular music.
I didn't recognize it at all.
But...
why are we visiting Hosoda's family home?
I'm hoping we can get some more information.
Have you met Hosoda-san's mother before?
Huh? No.
?? Stick your tongue out, hey, hey...
I wonder what she's thinking about Hosoda-san having passed away.
I'm so sorry, Masao has been called away by friends.
I wonder where he's gone.
I'll try to contact him.
She thinks he's still alive.
Looks like she really does have dementia.
What a poor, run-down place.
Maybe this time I was wrong.
I can't reach him.
Yeah, that's right. He's dead.
Huh? - Hey!
Hot! Hot! - Uh, this man here...
he tells such bad jokes that everyone around him freezes up.
What? I don't turn people into popsicles.
See?
True.
Granny... Hosoda's computer isn't here.
He uses it over here? - Yes...
Recently, the police came.
Police?
Why do you think that Hosoda-san and the Wildcat are connected?
Do you remember the Wildcat cases that came up just before Hosoda was killed?
The Frontier Data Bank one?
And Shining Peace, yes.
There was a tip-off for both of these shortly beforehand.
And that came from Hosoda.
What!?
We have matched the voice on the phone.
Don't tell anyone!
Because you never know who is an enemy.
It's delicious!
Isn't it? Hey, thank me for that! - What?
It's not like you prepared this.
But only because I threw a tantrum and went "I'm so hungry! I need food!"...
and "I'd really like Nabe, Granny", that you were able to eat it as well!
If there are really people who are thankful for that, I'll start doubting education these days.
Thank youuu.
So these are the kind of friends Masao has.
I guess you haven't met Hosoda in a while?
He told me.
That when he came home after a long time, the house was already gone.
What's that about? Did you end up selling the mountain?
Yes. About 3 months ago.
Why did you sell it?
I don't know. When I realized it, the contract documents were already signed.
I'll have some more.
You know, apart from the house there also was a factory on that mountain.
My father founded it immediately after the war.
It was a company to produce parts for ships.
That mountain was everything to our family.
And now everything is gone.
Aaaah, I'll have some more.
That was quick! - One more!
So they used...
Hosoda-san's mother's dementia to make her sell her land.
Unforgivable.
Can you get the registration certificate back?
No, the way things are at the moment, that's impossible.
Why? - Huh?
It doesn't smell like money.
Moldau Real Estate is making huge profits but they're not doing anything illegal.
This is not about money.
Well, for me it is.
Stop over there!
Where are you going?
Don't ask such a crude question.
Man, the vinegar isn't working.
He might be the one who killed Hosoda-san.
What?
Why?
If he was grieving over his death, it's natural that he would want to help Hosoda-san's mother.
But he only thinks about money.
He's the worst.
Why did you call me here?
Was it you who deleted all information from Hosoda's computer and the camera he kept here?
You found out?
Don't draw the wrong conclusions.
I only did it so I won't get on anyone's radar.
3 hundred million yen...
Why didn't you raise that?
You said the Wildcat doesn't kill anyone!
That's for work.
It's different in private.
With this, you are dead.
If you are involved with Yuuki, someone will be looking for you too.
If we don't do this, you won't be able to escape them.
So...
it's to save me?
Why did you betray me?
I really needed 300 million yen.
You could have told the Old Man. - I did!
But he refused.
And then this Yuuki guy contacted me.
He said if I did what he said, he'd give me the money.
If he gave 300 million yen to Moldau Real Estates, they would tear up the contract.
That seems to have been the deal.
But I had no inclination to lend him such a large sum of money...
for a next to worthless mountain. - But is it really worthless?
Do you think there's something on this mountain?
Hosoda told me...
That Yuuki got in contact with him.
So there has to be something behind the scenes.
He said he'd look around there.
And then a few days later, Hosoda was killed.
At the same place, wearing the same clothes, with the same bullets.
Can you get at Hosoda's computer which the police confiscated?
No, that's not going to work.
That guy Inui who came from the main office is a pain in the ass.
He's constantly stuck in front of that computer.
We found out that the recently killed Hosoda Masao...
might have a connection to the Wildcat.
That's why we confiscated his computer.
And?
Unfortunately it was password protected. So we didn't get much useful information.
Really...
Actually, there's something I wanted to ask you.
What? - You had this...
friend called Yamane, right?
Do you see him often?
No, not at all.
The other day was the first time in 3 years.
Really?
Thanks. I have to go back.
So, you've gone back to Hosoda's mother again?
To help with cleaning and shopping?
She is lonely.
Even though she thinks that Hosoda-san is alive...
it's difficult to live all by herself.
That's why you asked me to get the registration certificate back?
You'd do it easily.
Help that woman.
That really wouldn't help her.
I'm back!
I just heard from the police...
that Hosoda-san's computer was password protected, so they couldn't run an analysis.
So that means there's important information on it.
Rikako-san, did you find out anything?
Of course.
The factory on the Hosoda family's mountain...
hasn't been used...
since Hosoda's father died more than 20 years ago.
Who's this really suspicious looking guy?
Well, time for a refresher.
What is this snake necklace he's wearing around his neck?
Serpent.
So, that means that the Asian Mafia bought this mountain?
Correct. They bought the Hosoda family's mountain...
so Serpent could get their hands on this factory...
In reality, this factory...
Sakura-chan!
Wha...what? Why...?
I followed you.
Didn't you say that you never meet Yamane-san at all?
Ah well, about that...
And the daughter of Frontier Data Bank's president is here too...
What the hell do you have to do with her? - Weeeeeell...
Now that she's asked...
you have to answer!
I don't have to answer, don't be an idiot. - Shut up!
Now listen.
We are...
Mysterious...
The pronunciation of 'mysterious' (kaito) can also be taken for a name (Kaito).
We are the Kaito Aiko fan club.
What?
Ah. It works with just those two syllables.
I'm a huge fan of that weather caster and want to follow every trend she sets.
And now we're checking the homepage...
of Cent Force, her agency, every day.
And of this year's calendar, I bought ten! To look at, to have, and for business use!
And pictures of her as her One Piece character as well...
We are supporting Aiko-chan with all we have.
Right? RIGHT? - Oh... yeah...
RIGHT? - Uh... yeah.
So Kaito Aiko is his type...
Well, since it's like that... For today...
I'm staying. - I figured.
The other day, you were at the crime scene where Kadoumatsu Tatsuro was murdered, right?
Why did you run away?
What? I have no clue what you're talking about.
Don't play dumb. - I think you must be mistaking me.
Look, there's a lot of good-looking guys in this area.
Please come to the police station with me. - No way!
Do you have any evidence?
That I was there? That kind of...
evidence!
Well, that's...
Yes? - Where are you?
I said you should go with Inui. Get back there now!
Well, but...
Stop it. GO BACK!
As if!
I will leave for now.
Take care!
Safe?
No, you're OUT!
And what is that, a Kaito Aiko fan club?
Your enthusiasm...
seemed pretty realistic.
You're wrong. You're totally wrong. - Ai-chan, huh? Ai-chan.
Hmmm. Well, okay!
Now you've been marked by the police...
you had better behave yourself in the future.
Wait a moment!
You can't get it back?
If you won't do it, I'll do it on my own!
I'm back. - Ah, welcome back.
Ah, that looks heavy. - Not at all.
There's also a bath brush. - I'll do some cleaning later.
I'm sorry about all this.
It's no problem.
Hm? Curry?
Yeah. I hope you'll like it.
You do that so well.
I envy your mother.
My mother is no longer alive.
Oh... I see...
That's why I enjoy being with you like this.
Me too.
And eating dinner all alone...
doesn't taste good, right?
I guess Masao won't be coming back...
That mountain.. he really wants it back, right?
What?
Having the house, the factory and all your memories taken away...
it's just wrong.
I'll find a way to do something.
'Do something'?
I'll take the mountain back.
It's enough to just get the registration certificate back, right?
Mao-chan, please... stop these bizarre questions.
But... - It's...
If you were to get into danger because of me...
that would also be sad for me.
Right? So, please...
Mao?
Not back yet.
That idiot...
Hey, are you going to eat two at once?
Soy is the staple; miso is extrasauce!
You're such an idiot.
Wildcat...
I'm sorry.
Is it true that Mao-chan went by herself?
Huh?
What's that.
Your girlfriend has wiretapped us.
She's not my girlfriend!!
Whatever, I don't care.
What should we do? If we leave it like this, Mao will be in danger!
Well, can't be helped.
Will we just do it without Mao?
?? Wiiiiiild-caaaaat....
?? recitaaaaaal...
Recital?
?? Aaaaaah.... - What's with this tonedeafness!
Registration certificate...
Wildcat...!
It's the Wildcat! The Wildcat was here!
Where's the Wildcat?
In the basement. That's where the safe is!
Mao-chan.
It's Katsumura.
Mao-chan... are you okay?
Katsumura-san...
Why...? - Let's hurry.
?? Aaaaaa-aaaa... - Ow...
?? Dont dooo iiiit... - How long is he going to sing?
?? Don't give uuuup....
Yes? - The Wildcat has been sighted.
Come quick. - Huh? But the Wildcat is in the bar right in front of my eyes.
Come on, hurry up. Bring the car!
?? People are aaaaall....
?? fumbling - My ears. My ears.
?? Stay Stay Dream
If I wasn't driving, I'd give you a good beating.
If you do something this high-handed again, I'll just ignore you.
But it's good that she's safe.
Why...
You think the Wildcat would abandon a comrade?
The Wildcat is not the one who killed Hosoda-san.
He told me.
Someone had been after Hosoda-san's life...
so the Wildcat pretended to shoot him and he ran away.
You should... really trust your comrades more.
What's that?
The transmitter attached to the Wildcat's car.
Chase him.
Police.
Er, are you... Inui-san?
Yeah. - I've been given this for you.
The transmitter.
I'm waiting in the factory from before. The Wildcat
That bastard.
Raise your hands and move to the wall.
What is this... - Illegal gun production.
Yuss! They've all been secured.
Inspector.
It's to your credit, to seize an illegal arms manufacturing site like this.
Eh? Why are you here?
You weren't the ones who contacted me?
The Wildcat...
Inui-san?
What's going on?
That guy is after Hosoda's computer!
Fantastic!
Hey.
Let's see the contents...
of that trash can.
Meowhat do you want?
Goodby---ye!
There's an untranslatable fart pun here, hence the wriggling.
WILDCAT!!
Hosoda's computer.
Over to you for analysis.
This...
The registration certificate for the mountain.
When did you steal that?
The truth is not necessarily...
what you have been hoping for.
Are you okay with that?
I got it.
Idiot, you idiot.
I wasn't sleeping, I totally wasn't sleeping.
I was awake.
I. got. it.
Noone but Mao will be able to hack into this file.
So the person watching this now...
is the Wildcat, I guess.
I'm going to tell all I know now.
You didn't have school today?
Did you hear about yesterday's incident at the factory on that mountain?
Yes
They say that an Asian organisation was making guns.
It's sad that it was being used that way.
But you knew about it, right?
Huh?
That it was a gun factory.
What are you saying?
According to the registration certificate for the mountain and...
the pledge signed with Serpent...
you would have received 30 million yen.
I didn't... I only put my seal on it.
I guess your dementia is also a lie.
Huh?
Hosoda-san left testimony before his death.
That factory was originally, soon after the war...
built specifically for the illegal production of firearms.
That 30 million yen...
was hush money.
I guess you sold the mountain in full knowledge of this.
Is that right?
I didn't know anything.
I had no idea that my grandfather was doing such a thing in the factory.
But there was no need to fake dementia!
Hosoda-san was very troubled because of it.
He tried the get the mountain back for your sake.
What do you even understand?
You don't understand a thing.
I did it because of him.
I faked dementia because of him.
I was always so frightened.
I couldn't help being scared of Masao.
He wouldn't go to school, shut himself in his room...
and the times he did come out he got violent.
When he came back home after a long time...
I pretended, on the spur of the moment, to have dementia.
Because I didn't want anything to do with him again.
Because I didn't want to lose the 30 million yen.
He believed my lie.
After all...
children will believe their parents no matter what.
I guess there are humans who are even more tainted by money than me.
So... where is it?
The 30 million yen!
Huh?
Here?
Or here?
Where is it?
Where is it!!?
Stop! It's no there! Stop!
Let go of me!
You made a Buddha and instead of a soul you put cash in it?
Isn't that great!
You didn't even balk at acting out dementia for the sake of money.
You are broken.
When you heard he was dead, what did you think!?
Huh? Were you relieved?
Were you relieved, thinking that now you'll no longer have to meet him?
It was always so painful, right?
So you wanted to get hold of money and become free.
Start your life over.
Become happy.
So whose fault was it from the start?
The child's.
It was the fault of Hosoda, who was hunted to his death!
Parents have personalities.
You have your own lives.
No matter how annoying a brat is, if its your own child you support it 100%?
That's just... impossible.
'If I was your parent, I'd love you no matter what you did.'
'I'd be understanding about everything.'
That kind of thing is just fantasy.
That's just a thing children have constructed for themselves.
That idiot... just because he wanted to get your mountain back for you...
he got caught up in a strange conspiracy and died.
But that FATSO!
In the end he couldn't help leaving something behind for you.
It's troublesome.
Smile.
Have a look at this!
Mom.
I'm sorry...
I'm no good, right?
I also know that you just faked dementia.
I understand everything now.
But...
but it's my fault, so....
so from now on...
maybe you'll go on a trip...
eat some delicious food... Wait, king crab!
You said you wanted to eat Hokkaido king crab.
Eat a lot!
And then, looking at the superb scenery, getting into the onsen...
when you do all that.
when you do that, then maybe next time...
it would be nice if we could truly be mother and child.
Now, I...
am probably dead.
So...
Thank you.
For everything you've done for me...
Thank you.
What's deep inside of you?
Your core!
I asked what's inside you that you just can't let go.
For Hosoda that was...
without any doubt you.
It's too late.
Being told this kind of thing so late...
it's too late.
Don't you get that?!
You, understand!
It may just be fantasy.
But I want you to understand.
Hosoda-san...
wanted to see you smile.
If you just smiled at him...
he would have been glad.
That alone...
would have made him happy.
I'm sorry...
Masao.
I'm sorry.
You were right.
I got involved unnecessarily and caused her pain.
If it hadn't been for me...
she wouldn't have been caught.
Wrong.
Because you were there...
she and Hosoda...
could finally become parent and child.
You didn't kill Hosoda-san, right?
Katsumura-san told me.
At the time, you pretended to shoot him...
and Hosoda, whose life was being targetted, could escape.
Katsumura said that?
Yeah, he said you spoke to him.
What's wrong?
I told him no such thing.
Huh?
As far as I can see from Hosoda's file...
there's no doubt that Yuuki Tenmei is pulling the strings behind the scenes.
The one who built that factory after the war...
was also Yuuki.
So Yuuki didn't want the illegal firearms manufacture to become known...
and therefore killed Hosoda Masao?
No, what Hosoda got a hold of...
was definitely something else.
There's something else on this mountain...
which is a completely different...
secret of Yuuki's.
But with that we know there's someone acting independently.
It seems like there is a hitman who takes responsibility...
for Yuuki's dirty work.
Commonly known as 'chameleon'.
Chameleon?
He's a psychopath who suddenly appears next to his targets...
and kills them with a smile on his face.
Take care, Wildcat-san.
Who were you talking to?
It's good that Serpent has been overthrown, mmh?
With that, you are one step closer to an immaculate town.
You lived fast for a fatso, huh?
Thanks for the good work.
Have a nice rest.
The factory has an underground passage?
Huh?
Am I disturbing you? - You are.
Want some cup ramen? - Yeah, Miso please.
Because at any rate, I'm a good-for-nothing.
A pun on the "Miso". "Good-for-nothing" means "Misokkasu" and can also be translated as "Miso less".
What are you sulking about?
What's up?
Really?
Have you looked into it?
What happened?
Imai was killed.
Who's Imai?
Rikako's ex-fianc�.
The suspect is...
the Wildcat.
You.
