Why you... let me go!

The Cuticle Phantom Thief Appears Case Countermeasures Headquarters
Meeting Room
Inaba Detective Agency
Who the heck is crying like a baby?!
Don't make me comfort you.
Kei!
My...
My hair is gone!
I don't see any signs of thinning,
though your hair is rather fine.
By the way, my hair is on the right.
Ina Kei
Flimsy
Completely Out
No!
The hair that I've been collecting is gone!
It was stolen!
There's a thief!
Exactly why would someone steal hair?
There's nothing worth stealing more than hair!
Ogi, there's trouble! There's been a thief in the agency!
Don't. I'm sure he's busy.
I'm so sorry...
I had your hair, too, and they even stole that.
I couldn't protect it.
I had kept your bangs and your hair
from the back of your head in a safe,
but they stole it all...
Call Ended
Hey! He hung up!
What the hell, you jerk?!
Ogi-san has it rough... That's super annoying.
Your call cannot be completed due to the customer's request.
No kidding. I wonder who stole it.
He blocked me!
Investigating the scene! Don't underestimate a former police dog!
I'm going to find the culprit, no matter what!
If only he'd put that much effort into his actual work...
This is...
...a hair.
I wonder if it's the thief's hair.
How is it possible for you to ignore
the hoof prints all over the place?!
This cuticle is not a human's!
You can tell just by the cuticle?
The cuticles vary depending on the animal.
Humans Dogs/Cats Rabbits Mice Horses
My hair is actually like dogs and cats,
but sadly, I can only love the human cuticle
with its shape like ocean waves.
The rise and fall of the waves on this cuticle is much like my heart...
Yuuta-kun, stop him!
This story is gonna run long!
This is...
a goat hair?!
Don't act like it wasn't obvious!
It's magnificent, it is.
Noah, you are a genius, you are.
I know that.
What's special about these diamonds?
They're synthetic diamonds made out of hair.
Diamondon Valentino!
To one-up the wolf, and then get rich selling these diamonds,
nothing could be better.
How much hair did you use?
I just need three grams.
They're only worth about 1,000,000 yen,
but ones made with the hair of famous people will be worth more.
It'll be great business.
To think that the wolf's treasure will become my
money makes me merry, it does.
I think I'll shave off the hair of everyone in Japa—
Don!
Who's there?
Inaba Detective Agency
This is the wolf's business card!
What is this doing here?
I will be by at midnight to claim the cuticle diamonds.
It is a warning, it is!
The Cuticle Phantom Thief is after my diamonds, he is!
Arrest him! Arrest him, you will!
What?
Inaba Detective Agency
Making diamonds out of hair? You can do that?
Of course.
Don't answer that with hair fetishist logic!
Fifty percent of hair is made of kindness.
The other half is carbon!
The same carbon that diamonds are made of!
Uh, I'm no expert, but I'm sure there's more to it than that.
Synthetic diamonds made from hair already exist.
A Spanish company patented it.
The world of hair is amazing!
Using people's hair was a dream of man since the 19th century.
Even I tried making a variety of things like scarves, rugs, and blankets...
But they're super itchy, so I stopped.
You were right to give up on that.
The history of black hair.
But time has passed, and now in the 21st century,
the hair is in a completely different field!
Time has caught up with hair!
This technology brought hair fetishists hope!
It's not okay for the goat to use it as he wants!
Do you understand now, Kei? Tell me that you do!
What's with this wasted passion?
If left alone, that goat will go after all the hair in the world.
I will protect the hair of the world!
Calm down, Inaba-san!
Even if it's the goat, if you steal his diamonds, it's a crime!
Don't stop me, Kei.
I'm going, even if I have to go alone.
I'm coming, too!
Stealing's not good, but going into the goat's hideout alone is too dangerous.
Ogi-san! Inaba-san is going to battle with the goat
in order to protect the hair of the world!
What is up with today?
Is this all of it?
It is!
It's sad to think they consider him a police dog, it is.
What a terrible villain to steal diamonds.
Your body is as hot as ever.
This is the problem with wolves nowadays.
Look who's talking! You're the mafia!
Why are you helping the goat, Ogi-san?
Hey, how do you want to die, anyway?
You're wrong. I'm not helping them.
But I can't let Hiroshi become a criminal.
Poison, after all?
Wait, would strangulation just give you difficulty breathing,
I'm going to stop him at all costs.
or will it kill you?
It's a blackout, it is!
Ogi-san!
Hiroshi's here...
Curse you, wolf!
Whoa, the goat is going crazy!
It's a shame we can't show you!
You'll be able to see it on the Blu-ray release.
You! Quit with the shameless promotion!
*She's lying. Sorry. m(_ _)m
That was a gunshot!
Stay close to me, Assistant.
To pick a fight with an assassin in the dark...
That wolf really is an idiot.
How could you, Gabriella?!
Where are you?! Here?!
I won't be discouraged just because I can't see.
How dare you shoot Inaba-san?!
S-Stop...
You picked the wrong person to mess with.
Don!
Curse you, wolf! How dare you do this to the Don?!
I'll have your head!
I'll display your head at the prison gates!
Right here! The culprit is right here!
All right, everyone! We're going to go avenge me!
Yeah!
The goat is fine!
Noah is missing, she is!
Look for her!
Hurry and find Noah, you will!
Crap! They're scattering.
If we don't find Inaba-san before they do,
he'll be in danger!
No need to worry about that.
How can you be sure?
Hiroshi is serious today.
The mafia is in more trouble than he is.
Noah!
He's not here, either...
Don!
Don's cape is right here,
meaning he's completely naked!
The wolf is holding him hostage buck naked!
Curse you, wolf! How dare you get him nake—
Noah!
Damn you, wolf.
Where are you?!
Don't move!
Oh, it's just you, Don.
Don't scare me! I thought you were the wolf.
Damn you, wolf! Where'd you go?
Ogi-san! A goat! A long goat is slithering this way!
He took my gun...
Run, minion!
He's... serious...
Faint
She's out of strength.
She's got handcuffs on... Are they his?
Nothing less from a masochist.
Never lacking restrictive items.
Is Inaba-san really this amazing when he's serious?
He's received combat training since he was young.
Usually, he's useless,
but when it comes to hair, it's different.
Ogi-san, are you planning to shoot Inaba-san?
If necessary.
No!
I know I asked you to stop him,
but you two shouldn't fight!
Lorenzo! He got you, too?!
It is said that bondage starts with the tortoise shell
and ends with the tortoise shell...
But the wolf is extreme...
What kind of info are you giving us while you're panting like that?!
Lorenzo!
Curse you, wolf!
You are a cruel, heartless, merciless animal, you are!
This is all because you stole Inaba-san's hair collection!
You made Inaba-san all serious!
Don't you blame me!
It's his fault for getting so wound up over just hair!
"Just hair"?
People from ancient times
believed that as long as Persephone didn't pluck
a hair from their heads, they would live forever.
Shall I guide you
to the queen of Hades, Persephone?
Don't try so hard to fit in!
Looks like you've caused quite a bit of trouble.
Do you want these diamonds that badly, Hiroshi?
Smooth diamonds?
You don't get me at all.
The only thing I know about my mother
is that she was artificially inseminated with werewolf DNA
and gave birth to me.
That's all.
So to me, do you realize how important hair is,
how important the cuticle is to me?
The cuticle is a mother's love!
That is my mother's keepsake! No, her remains!
I can't stand having the cuticle I loved in the goat's hands!
Such a tragic hair fetishist!
This is tragic, but he's a hair fetishist!
What are you going on about?!
Take this!
He caught the goat!
I am stuck, I am!
Now then... I know you very well.
Unhand me! Unhand me, wolf!
Hand over the diamonds
or the goat's head gets blown off.
You won't let a hostage die, no matter who the criminal is.
Hiroshi...
Fine. If you want them that badly...
Go fetch!
Captured.
Aw, damn it!
Ow, ow, ow...
Whatever. Just do this forever.
I guess I'll let you off the hook since you caught the Valentino Family.
Yeah, that was amazing, Inaba-san!
You caught them all by yourself!
All of them? What about Noah?
Huh? Didn't you catch her when you caused the blackout?
Blackout?
Actually... where is the goat and the others?
You're a lifesaver.
It's better to avoid the wolf's wrath.
You owe me one!
Untie us already!
Spring's Springy Manju Buns Fair!!

What? Eight? Don't make me laugh.
Do you think I can be sated with so few sacrifices?
Oh, there's fourteen over here.
Not enough.
It's still not enough for my ideal.

Onward...
...to Inaba Detective Agency.
Nothing Nothing!! Day Off
Walk Game
Man, I'm bored...
I wonder if it's okay to be so bored during the last episode.
It's best when there's no crime going on.
Actually, please don't say things like "last episode."
So this is the den of the detectives...
Evil Organization Expansion Case
This exaltation...
Inaba Detective Agency
It's been a while since I felt my blood stir.
Heaven or Hell...
We shall not know until I open this door...
Onward!
Corruption attained!
A very roundabout way of saying "excuse me"!
Gentlemen detectives,
grant my wish.
Inaba-san, there's a weirdo here!
Those who hide their hair with goats on their heads should leave.
A cool reply?!
I am looking for someone to contract.
Help me find a contractor who suits all of my needs.
Contractor?
On the night of the full moon,
in exchange for the blood from my finger as a sign,
I shall offer sixteen sacrifices.
I would like them to work hard labor for one third of a peaceful day.
He's looking for a job that's eight hours on weekdays
and pays about 160,000 yen a month.
Wow. You can translate that, Yuuta-kun?!
That is how they might put it in the human world.
You're too roundabout with everything!
I see. No. Go home.
You're so dependable today, Inaba-san!
I fear that he has already been here, too...
What kind of world is he living in?
Bam
I'm sorry. Are you all right?
Y-You fool! Pay me no mind!
Hurry... Hurry and shut the door!
That's it. That's how it should be.
Employment!
Hiroshi, I've got important information on Valentino. Let's go.
What? But it's the last episode.
I told you, stop saying that!
It's this.
Wait, where'd it go?
Did I drop it?
Are you getting fired for dropping a key piece of evidence?
Shut up. It's just a flyer.
You shine so brightly when Ogi-san messes up, Yuuta-kun.
Valentino is plotting to expand his organization.
We have to stop him, no matter what.
But what are we supposed to do?
We know where they're meeting.
An interview hall.
Their method of expanding their organization is way too proper!
The mafia...
A befitting end for one who has fallen into darkness such as I.
Reception
Is it here that I might find a contractor who fulfills my needs?
You here for an interview? What's your name?
You would ask for my accursed name?
I have been dubbed...
Forest Masashi.
Mori Masashi?
Do not speak my proper name so thoughtlessly!
Waiting Room
Well, wait in the waiting room.
I'll call you when it's your turn.
I extend my gratitude.
Next, interviewee No. 29.
The hell is this name...?
Mochi? Is there a Mochi here?
I must assuage this exaltation
I'm Mochi.
or my heart will rupture, engulfing this place in a sea of blood.
It's your turn.
Thank you.
Translation
Oh crap! I'm so nervous my heart won't stop pounding!
Fidget
Is there nothing that can assist me through this trial?
Please help yourself.
Is there nothing that can assist me through this trial?
Next, Mori. Mori.
I know, I'll start drawing symbols onto my hand with my finger...
Mori! Mori! Mori, Mori!
And swallow...
I've been calling you, Mori Masashi! Hurry the hell up!
Get in, damn it!
Corruption attained!
Translation
Excuse me.
Please have a seat.
We will now begin the interview, we will.
Mori Masashi-san, you don't seem to have a prior record.
What have you been doing up until now?
I have been monitoring residential force fields.
Translation
I was home security.
Is there a problem?
No, we welcome new criminals.
Why did you choose our family?
With an organization that has a goat at its head,
I figured my magic could prove useful.
What position are you seeking, exactly?
We get people like you at times.
You think that if you're a goat, it'll all be fine, don't you?
Translation
Uh, no... I didn't mean it like that, um...
N-No...
It's quite annoying.
We're not playing around.
I would like you to take this seriously.
No... That's not...
Not to mention,
it's rather absurd that you'd wear something
on your head to an important interview.
It's true that the eyes say what the mouth cannot.
We are not asking questions just to hear the right answer.
We need to be able to see your eyes to see if
we can trust you as a member of our family.
This goat is wise, but the bag next to him desecrates his words.
Wonderful thinking as always, Don.
Now, let us continue the interview.
Please tell us what is fashionable about your current outfit.
Well, people like you are rather shallow.
Why exactly should we hire you?
What can you do?
So begins the pressure interview.
Can you actually bring anything to the table?
You're not cut out for the mafia.
How unreasonable! Is this really evil?
Not to mention this isn't as cool of a job as you think it is.
You're wasting our time, so could you leave?
You're actually leaving after being told to leave?
Were you serious about this at all?
Is that all your resolve is worth?
Feeding off the tears of the weak!
Do you think you can survive in the world like that?
Has anyone ever needed you?
Is this really what social evil is about?
This concludes Mori Masashi-san's interview.
I.... I calmly thank you.
Next person, please.
The human world is a terrifying place.
There is greater evil than me everywhere.
I should never have ventured from the force field.
I never shall again...
Pleased to meet you.
Wolf!
How'd you find this place?!
Your company was kind enough to put out these flyers,
so we had no problem finding the place.
You're replying like it's an interview?!
Inaba Hiroshi, 23 years old.
Work experience: Secret Doberman and Cuticle Detective.
Hobbies: Hair collection. Skills, of course:
arresting criminals!
Run, we must!
Hold it, goat!
Wait!
I will not!
They left. Should we go after them?
Guess we should, even though I don't really feel like it.
Where justice is needed, evil is sure to prosper.
It is a light that can shine only in the dirt.
I said hold it!
Stop!
And I said I will not wait!
It is the hope of the weak that have had their feet muddied.
They're at it again.
Nii-Ni never gets tired of it.
More importantly, Nacchan!
No.
So fast!
I haven't even said anything yet!
Oh? Mr. Goat?
Wakaba! Azusa! I'll be home tonight!
Papa!
Is curry okay for dinner?
Yeah!
Papa!
Hiroshi!
Ack! Ogata.
Looks like you're having fun! Let us join!
Let us join!
Ogi, I think since you turned thirty, you've gotten slower.
You too old now?
See ya, Thirty!
Thirty!
Hold it, Ogata!
Let's go, Hiroshi!
Yeah!
Ack! They've multiplied! Stop it already, you will!
Like hell we will!
There is but one way to comfort
him who has cast himself into endless battle.
He must wage war against himself.
I shall prepare myself for the next battlefield.
The random new character just closed the show!
