While our birthrate is declining and our population ageing...
it is of course important to strengthen social security.
But if we only rely on the prospect of domestic demand...
this country has no future.
So we say, well, what should we do? Right?
Now is the time to promulgate the 'Made in Japan' label.
The technological power we're proud of will be spread overseas.
From now on we have to build a nation...
that is conscious of such a world.
And that's why I feel strongly that we must protect...
this Japan, which is standing at the top all by itself.
How about it, everyone?
Do you want to take back...
a strong Japan together with me?
Thank you!
Imai Shunsuke, 45 years old. He's the editor-in-chief of this publishing house.
But three days ago it submitted a going out of business notification.
Strangulation? - Yes.
I wonder if this was really the Wildcat.
He's on the security camera footage.
It is likely that he entered the building to steal...
and ran into the victim.
He doesn't usually get himself caught on camera.
The security cameras are the victim's private property.
Because they're embedded into the wall, you don't notice them at first glance.
What has been stolen? - The safe was forced open.
Probably something of monetary value.
In a publishing house that's going out of business?
Since only this room has been ransacked...
There may have been something else... - Bingo!
The data on the computer has been erased.
The perpetrator's aim...
doesn't seem to have been money.
This is too much!
Hey hey hey, what's up?
Come and see this.
What is that? - Wildcat merchandise.
He just got it made without consulting anyone.
And then he was selling it in front of the bar!
This bar, which is our hideout!
Making such things when you're hiding your identity...
what kind of nerve is that?
And accommodating people... can we allow that?
"If you're bound by a rope, burn it with this and escape! The Wildcat lighter.'
Wildcat headband, Wildcat pencilcase, Wildcat license.
But somehow it seems to have turned into Licking Cat merchandise.
Well, but I could just about live with this.
Because there's a cat mask on it.
But, really...
This.. this body pillow!
Is that not completely giving away what you really look like?
To say "I'll steal your treasure while you sleep"...
do you think anyone can sleep peacefully?
You there, if your true appearance became widely known...
you'd be in deep trouble!
He's losing his temper.
Kaito has become a mysterious thief.
The magazine cover shows Kaito Aiko whose fanclub they pretended to be in episode 4.
Huh?
Can you believe it? This is a signed copy!
Katsumura, you can't use this. Meow~
There's only one copy of this precious, precious book in existence.
So you really like Kaito Aiko, huh?
That's not our problem right now! At any rate!
I won't permit this until I've been reimbursed.
Buying the photo album, even going to get her signature...
I won't allow it!
DON'T SAY A WORD!!
I don't want to hear your excuses.
Don't ever speak again until I allow it.
NOT ONE WORD!!!
Well, since you were born mouth-first...
for you not to talk may be impossible.
The flipcharts again...
"For me, nothing is impossible..."
We can even bet on it.
You win if you don't say a word until I give permission.
Then I'll put chopsticks in my nose...
and dance to Taiko Bushi once.
Taiko Bushi - a Japanese folk song about coal mining. Often sung and danced to during a festival.
"I won't for..."
Nothing good comes out of your mouth anyway.
Just put yourself in my position when you constantly mess me about!
Let me finish my comment!
Who cares.
With this, we get a time lag anyway...
so don't ask me to wait around.
Excuse me. Could we get down to business?
Sure!
They say this man is the Wildcat? - Yeah.
It's the same cat mask but the physique is totally different.
I am attractive!
Nobody knows his true shape...
and he can hardly go and introduce himself.
That's what the perpetrator was after.
What did the criminal want? Is it on there too?
No, just... HQ are convinced that he's the Wildcat.
Give!
Imai-san was your fiancé, Rikako-san?
What kind of man was he?
Originally he was a reporter covering crime.
But ten years ago he founded a publishing house...
and created a magazine called "PROVE".
Oh, I know that.
At the time it was famous for defying the powerful...
and picking up incidents major magazines wouldn't run.
Because it wasn't a mass-market production...
sales were always sluggish.
So he was always worried about money.
I found something strange about this.
Once every three months, 100 million yen...
have been credited to Imai's bank account.
The source was a fictitious company.
Imai paid his debts back with that money.
Does anything come to mind?
Actually, he came here last week.
That was... the first time in 10 years.
What's up?
I wanted to see you.
Has some woman dumped you?
Do you still have that ring?
I threw it away...
is what I want to say but...
it's the one single valuable thing I ever got from you.
So I held on to it for old times' sake.
Please keep it safely.
In these last two years...
I've changed.
But he didn't tell me the reason in the end.
So... does that mean something happened, 2 years ago?
Who knows.
What's up?
Imai-san... was he cool?
Yeah... he was a good guy.
He had inner strength.
If he could uncover a fraud, he didn't hesitate to risk his own life.
Why did you break up?
Hm... I wonder.
It's from Imai.
That... is that Imai-san's magazine?
He was going to suspend publication.
He sent it the day before he died.
Maybe he wanted to tell you something...
Rikako-san.
Oooh, delicious!
It's been forever since I had dinner in such a fancy restaurant.
Sometimes we all have to recharge our batteries.
Really... I want to make that sexual harassment boss...
take some lessons in wisdom from you, Morita-san.
Inspector Sekimoto is a talented officer.
But he can't catch the Wildcat.
Are you still influenced by your father's death?
Father!
Father! Father!
It's been two years.
A good officer died.
My father was shot.
But the record...
and Inspector Sekimoto say it was an accident.
Were you not told?
Everyone in the force agrees on this.
What? - It's true.
If it was known that the Wildcat also kills...
it would look like we're letting a murderer run around unchecked.
And if that happened, society's police bashing...
would unnecessarily scare the citizens.
But hiding the cause of my father's death cannot be a good thing!
The police are not the ones you should attack.
It's the Wildcat.
Arresting him as quickly as possible will be the best memorial service of all.
Morita-sama, may we offer you anything else?
Uh... no, that's enough for now.
What is this place?
Imai asked these guys to sell his magazine.
There's the office.
Hey!
What do you want?
Imai Shunsuke used this, right?
Aaah, are you perhaps the fiancée?
The one who had an abortion and broke up with him.
Ah... well...
Well, Imai-chan...
he talked about you a lot!
Did you have a good relationship with him?
Yeah, I did.
Imai-chan was our employer.
He was an unusually sincere man for these times.
Do you have any ideas...
about his murder?
Well, it's not that I don't...
It was maybe a week before he died.
When he came to inform us about the suspension of business...
he said he was going to do the one last thing left to do.
I guess it was maybe the matter from 2 years ago.
2 years?
What happened 2 years ago?
Imai-chan got certain information from a policeman.
It looked like an amazing scoop...
I still remember how excited he was.
But, you see, as far as I know...
that article never made it into the magazine.
I wonder if he may have been killed...
for trying to release it to the public.
Do you know the name of that policeman?
Hmmm, if it is on your mind...
I guess I could research it for you.
Hey.
Abortion?
It was a long time ago.
If it had been born,
it would be around your age now.
Is that why you split up?
I want to think so and then I don't want to think so.
We were both so young.
But if I had been a bit more patient...
I might have a different life now.
At least...
I wouldn't have let him die so soon.
What is it? - Please come back right now.
The bar! It's awful!
Seatbelt. We're leaving.
Ah, welcome back!
I was so surprised to see the place vandalized when I got back.
Who'd do something like this?
Help just a little here!
What have you been reading all this time?
I wrote an explanation.\nWith this we can have a smooth conversation.
Hee hee hee.
What, you bought it for that?
MEOOOW
It's not there.
The ring I got from Imai.
Huh?
But there is a security camera.
It's really just a thug and two guys with masks. Weird.
Can you enlarge this image and send it to Sekimoto's phone?
Seems they were really after the ring.
You've really mastered this thing.
His name is Shimura Hajime.
He's a yakuza wannabe thug.
I'll let you know later where to find him.
Are you linking this incident to my election, too?
I don't think that's necessary.
Finally, the election to governor.
Well, the real fight starts after I get elected.
To seize Tokyo, and change Japan.
Like Yuuki-sensei used to.
I'm looking forward to it.
Thanks for the meal.
If you betray me...
you'll be the one to suffer.
What's this about?
I have a joker.
Scary! Please don't bully this underpaid detective.
Stray Cat delivery service!
This is a reference to the Kuroneko (=black cat) delivery service in Japan.
Stray Cat delivery service! I came to deliver your package.
Erm. Stray Cat delivery service.
I came to deliver your package. Yuss!
Huh?
What are you doing?
Who the hell are you!
The Mysterious Thief Detective 'The Wildcat'!
Are you kidding?
I'm sorry. It is possible... that he his kidding.
You're fucking kidding me?
Wildcat-san!
OW! Huh? Did you...
You...!
Did you just speak?
Who asked you to do it?
WHO ASKED YOU TO DO IT?
A guy called Nishihara. But I'm sure that's not his real name.
How did you know about the bar?
I tailed Imai for a week before he died.
Uh, I'm not the one who killed him!
What are you doing?
Were you reimbursed with drugs?
Really?
So Imai-san was killed due to involvement with drugs?
Meow meow meow meow.
Huh. I don't get it at all.
I wonder what this ring means.
If you know something, maybe you could tell us!
Newly released, one-and-a-half portion, pork kimchi flavour.
I'm tucking in!
Wait!
Sit!
Paw.
Co-operation!
What are you doing?
The colour changed.
That flower is...
Cherry-blossom?
Cherry-blossom... Well, does this page hold the key?
Huh?
Smooth?
Huh? Rough.
I got it.
What, again?
I see!
So this ring was the hint for finding that.
That's why Shimura and his goons wanted it.
So fast.
Password...
Hello.
It's me.
I remember the name of the policeman who gave Imai-chan the information.
Kirishima... Kirishima Genichirou.
Kirishima Genichirou.
That detective Kirishima...
died immediately after handing over the information.
That is very helpful.
Kirishima Genichirou...
is Sakura-chan's father.
I'm sorry.
Hey... wait... wait.
What is it?
I suspected you of being linked to the Wildcat...
and even wiretapped you.
Ah, that?
Don't worry about it.
Really?
Ah, I'm so glad.
Apart from that... About Imai Shunsuke's case...
Two years before his death, Imai-san...
may have received certain information from your father.
Certain information...?
I don't know for certain yet...
but it is very likely that it had something to do with drugs.
Moreover, after the information had been exchanged...
your father died.
Who told you this?
Rikako-san.
The owner of the Stray Cat.
Rikako-san?
Ah, that beautiful woman.
Actually, she...
is Imai-san's former fiancée.
I see.
To get at that information we need a password.
But we have no idea what it could be.
I get it. I'll do some research myself.
What is that? - My father's belongings.
I think my father's death and Imai Shunsuke's death...
may be related somehow.
Huh?
Before he died, it seems that my father...
gave Imai information regarding drugs.
But he was caught out, too.
Because Imai was so much the reporter in charge...
father didn't think of passing the information to a third person.
I don't know what kind of person your father was...
and I'm not interested, but assuming he was a good man...
if he passed information to a publisher...
there could only be one reason.
Whistleblowing.
Your father was killed during a Wildcat case, right?
Yes, 2 years ago.
The Wildcat was revealing connections between politicians and construction companies.
Father was shot while pursuing the Wildcat.
Why were you the first person to find him?
Actually... I accompanied him in secret.
The morning of that day...
father seemed to be tormenting himself, so somehow...
Did you see the Wildcat shoot him?
No.
Well, then it's also possible that it wasn't the Wildcat.
What do you mean?
The gun.
The bullets retrieved from Hosoda Masao's body after the Wildcat shot him...
are 45 caliber.
The ones that shot your father are 32 caliber.
Identical to the SIG230 used by the police.
Remember that time.
In the place where your father died...
was there anything that didn't seem to belong there?
Hey, Morita's team have found where the Wildcat is.
Due to Governor Daimon's resignation...
the election for Governor of Tokyo takes place today.
In every precinct, a voting... What?
Where's the Wildcat and Mao?
They're wandering about the nearby supermarkets...
to buy all the new release pork kimchi ramen.
Stacking up like that like a kid...
he's just a fool, right?
When he doesn't know the password.
I got the password.
No way.
Huh?
This is your hint.
Don't give a hint, write the answer!
What is this picture?
Two students at their part-time work checkout?
Aaah, does anyone get it?
A hint for stupid Katsumura.
You suck.
But I'm accepting the challenge.
Two... Age... Day.
The... birth... dates... of... both... of... them.
Ah, their birth dates!
Imai's and mine?
Huh?
Ah.
Father!
Kirishima-san...
Kirishima-san!
Who shot him?
I'm sorry. He tried to escape.
No, it's not Fukuhara's fault. Our opponent is the Wildcat.
The Wildcat? Really?
There's no doubt about it. There's also a cat mask here.
Find some other proof.
Hey. Can I have a word?
What?
About two years ago.
When father was shot and I rushed to the scene...
the next person to come was you, right?
Kirishima-san...
Kirishima-san! Are you okay?
I remembered.
When you came running up to my father...
I faintly smelled gun smoke.
You want to say I killed him? - I want to think you didn't.
So please tell me in detail.
Hello.
We know what your father told Imai-san.
Policemen were selling drugs on the black market.
Their ringleader was Fukuhara Hidenori.
Eh... Sakura-chan?
It suddenly cut off.
You are Hosho Rikako-san?
Please accompany us to the station on suspicion of Shunsuke Imai's murder.
Hang on a moment. What kind of evidence do you...
Inspector Morita.
What's wrong? Did something happen!?
That bastard killed my father.
Huh?
That bastard...!
Don't shoot!
Your father wouldn't want you to.
I'll hear details inside the station.
Why you do such a thing?
Two years ago...
this man disguised himself as the Wildcat and shot my father.
And that...
was in order to conceal the sale of drugs on the black market?
How do you know this?
It's a pity.
But good for you.
Very soon you'll be able to join your father.
Good grief, now I'm stuck in a double-suicide scenario with you.
Don't jinx us!
How can we escape...
Ah!
"If you're bound by a rope, burn it with this and escape!"
The Wildcat lighter! - The Wildcat lighter!
What are you doing, be quick.
You're so slow. - There's no oil in it.
Stupid cat!
That hurt.
Sakura-chan!
Senpai!
Well, now let's start resolving this.
How much you you guys know?
Unfortunately I think I know everything.
So you've figured out all of Imai's tricks.
So show us that screen.
Okay. - Senpai!
It's fine, leave it to me!
Accessing this URL hidden on Sakura's page...
I enter the password.
And then...
We have you guys, in a members-only restaurant...
appraising the drugs you have diverted.
While dining normally there...
you could order all kinds of drugs...
like cocaine and marijuana.
On top of that, what you paid...
is on the same receipt as the food and drinks you consumed.
Meaning that for wine, you substituted drugs.
But this situation is...
what inspector Kirishima and Imai-san wanted to expose.
So you killed them.
That's correct.
But it's no wonder we'd kill Imai.
He used the information your father gave him...
to blackmail us.
What?
Imai would never do such a thing.
Try to think about it.
He got the information 2 years ago.
If he had wanted to expose us, he could have done it then.
But he didn't.
'If you don't want to be exposed, hand over the money.'
That's how he blackmailed us.
But not just once or twice. Uncountable times.
In order to cover the losses incurred by his magazine, I guess.
No way.
So I wonder what he was thinking...
suddenly wanting to spill it all to the world.
And with this, the resolution is complete.
Once we've scrubbed the data...
and got rid of you, we can get back to n normal.
Don't shoot him, shoot me!
I like your mournful face.
There's nothing more exciting than the crying of a woman who pretends to be strong.
I'm defeated! I lost!
Please talk as much as you want!
I'm begging you! Help us!
?? S.O.S.
?? Look, look, I'm calling you!
Ladies and Gentlemen!
This is the mysterious thief detective 'The Wildcat'.
This exchange just now had been heard...
by everyooooone at Kitaura police station.
They'll be arriving within 30 minutes.
Weeeeelll... what will you doooo?
Why?
Thank you. Thanks to you blabbing on by yourself like that...
I didn't have to say a word.
Fortunately my name wasn't mentioned in this conversation, either.
You alone will be blamed for this crime.
But...
Fukuhara!
I'm getting the inventory and the income from the drugs.
You get rid of them and take the car to the back entrance.
Who are you?
The mysterious thief detective...
The Wildcat!
What's going on?
This is what's going on.
Stupid cat!
If you want the Wildcat to save you you have to admit you lost.
I lost! Please talk as much as you want!
I'm begging you! Help us!
?? S.O.S.
You get rid of them and take the car to the back entrance.
Who on earth is that man...
He must be the Wildcat.
Having the effrontery to imitate me...
with your copycat crimes.
And moreover getting me blamed for the murder of Kirishima Genichirou.
There's a lot of things I want to say to you...
but after all, I'm also a criminal.
I've been veeeeeery patient here.
Enough!
But, well. In the end... I was banned...
Yu-usss!
...from speaking.
I'll tell you about one poor man.
He was a detective just before retirement.
He neglected neither his home nor his career...
and pursued cases steadily every day with a hands-on approach.
One day, he found out his subordinate...
was selling confiscated drugs on the black market.
The man agonized over it.
If he ignored it, neither his subordinate nor the police would be hurt.
But...
the man decided to make an accusation.
Because he thought that cracking down on crime...
was the mission of any policeman.
What a fucking IDIOT!
HUH?
Of course, if he made an accusation, he'd also bring trouble on himself.
His family might have lost all they have.
BUT!!
The man chose to accuse...
because he trusted his subordinate!
He thought he'd repent...
and start over!
And you guys...
you trampled on these feelings!
People who trust are foolish.
Didn't even Imai sell his soul for money?
There is no justice in this world.
So tell me.
What is deep inside you?
Your core!!
At the beginning you must have...
become a detective because you believed in justice!
If you're ashamed...
you could try to start over even now...
you fucking IDIOT!
Over to you...
Sakura-chan.
Kirishima.
On suspicion of murder and possession of drugs.
I arrest you.
Take them to the hospital. - Yes, Sir.
Hey, don't touch anything until forensics come. - Yes, Sir!
You trash! - Inui.
You were hushing up...
the reason for Kirishima's father's death...
and the sale of drugs on the black market.
Don't be surprised if the law comes after you.
You and him...
just STINK.
Hey. - Yes, Sir.
What about those tied-up people?
Tied up? There was nobody like that.
Apparently I...
have lost my way.
If you'd been with me...
I guess you'd have slapped me and stopped me.
Welcome.
What's your order?
You were Imai Shunsuke's fiancée?
2 years ago...
Why did my father give Imai-san...
this important information?
Even with relatives, bad things are bad.
Why are you giving it to me?
I like your magazine.
Being shot by his subordinate...
betrayed by a person he trusted.
Isn't that such a wasted death.
He entrusted the information to Imai-san.
So why did Imai betray him?
Father was willing to risk his life to have the matter exposed.
Why did Imai-san betray him?
I'm sorry.
I can't help blaming you.
It's not like I'm overlooking all the good things you have done...
I know all that, but...
Sakura.
Become a good detective.
What should I believe?
Why did father have to die?
That's just...
I'm so sad...
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
So what changed Imai-san...
was really money?
If he'd just said something...
But...
there are people for whom...
saying something does not pay off.
I finally caught you!
Wildcat! You...
are wrong...
In this world...
Don't do this...
?? The moon has risen, risen!
?? The moon has risen, yoi yoi!
I said I'd do a Taiko Bushi dance, right?
You're such an idiot.
YOU are a real idiot, so funny!
Hey, wait!
Why is Sakura-chan here? Nobody has told me!
No photos! Don't take photos!
It's embarrassing but today's MVP is YOU!
I'm getting this! THIEF!
Ah!
Ah, this is Aiko-chan's book...
What is this? That photo? And the name in the autograph...
For Wildcat-san Aiko
Wildc...
Wild... what the hell is this!
Ehe. - Don't 'ehe' me!
Go there again and get her signature! Don't talk anymore until then!
Didn't you tell me to? Well then, I got it. I will taaaaaaaalk.
What?
- Don't imitate me!
Don't imitate me! - Oy!
Oy! - I told you not to talk!
Todo Kenichiro gained overwhelming support...
and was elected Governor of Tokyo. I repeat...
Todo Kenichirou has been elected Governor of Tokyo.
Don't use my personal belongings without permission.
Whether you're my secretary or not.
I'm going to greet the members of your supporters' association.
What did you see?
Nothing.
We thought you were a good guy, but you were selling meth illegally.
Is money that important to you?
It wasn't for money.
Yeah?
The true hell starts now.
What's this crap about 'hell'?
You'll soon understand.
In the name of the Ouroboros.

Hey! Hey! Get an ambulance!
Hey! Hey!
