Sorry. Can you give me a hand?
Okay.
- Excuse me. - Come in.
- Have you found him? - Yes.
I see. Finally.
- Secure him immediately. - I understand.
You loathe this?
Your daughter was trying commit suicide, right?
You can get your revenge.
Unleash the beast.
Using me as pretext, you can deliver your revenge.
You're wrong.
I'm human.
Good work.
What the doctor says?
Because she drank various drugs at once...
it'd take some time before she regains her conciousness back.
I see.
I, apparently couldn't continue the police work.
I'm sorry.
You got laid off? It must be hard.
I'm sorry. Seems I dragging you.
No no. You're really helping.
Many people took this job for granted.
- Muto-san's hard working man. - That's not true.
Let's do our best. People rarely get a second chance.
It's been a while. Michinori-san.
We've been looking for you.
Now, let's go home. The president is waiting.
Please go back. I'm working now.
This kind of job...
it's not a work for someone who'll succeed Fort.
Tell this to my father. I don't have any intention to go back.
I'm afraid it's impossible.
Hey, stop this! Let me go!
Wait, can you see he's unwilling?
Who are you, exactly?
A person of no concern should stay away.
That's something I can't do.
I'm his work colleague.
Sheathe thy hand from me.
Forgive my rudeness, but this is something you don't need to concern with.
You need to stop now!
- Ou-ouch!! - Should I call police?
It would stain your reputation as a big enterprise, wouldn't it?
I'm very sorry.
Tonight for sure, I'll go meet with Michinori-san again.
- Enough. - But...
You heard me, right?
I understand.
It seems you're losing your touch in this one.
I'm waiting for the good opportunity to arise.
So I should convey the same to Deputy Director-General?
Yes, please do so.
I want you...
to proceed carefully.
Please rest assured.
I won't do anything foolish that will endanger your position, Chief Detective.
I'm sorry, we only have these to serve you.
No worries.
Today, you saved my husband a lot of troubles.
Really, thank you very much.
Thanks for having me.
Well, shall we eat?
- Please eat. - I'm digging in.
- Please. - Thanks.
As you heard already, my father is the president of Fort Company.
The one who came before is my father's secretary.
Ah, thank you.
My father wanted me to succeed his company.
Thank you very much.
But I abandoned my house and became picture book author.
And then I went against my father's objection and married with my wife.
My father never care of what I had in mind.
He said "Let alone picture book, you won't get living just by distributing tissues".
That's why he tried to get me back by force.
I absolutely won't go back.
For me, living with Miwa and Kazuki is everything now.
That's good. Somehow I envy you.
Capturing happiness with your own strength.
I really would like to read your picture book.
Well of course! Which one I should show...
For me?
Rabbit-kun. It will be a book tomorrow.
A book?
- It'll get a publication. - That's good to hear.
An editor got interested of my work which I made it with my own money.
Tomorrow is the distribution's day.
That's amazing.
Your dad's amazing, right?
What? Hey, at least show your happy face...
Hello What's wrong?
She's awake.
Mariko has woken up.
The doctor says she's gonna be all right.
I see. That's a relief.
Thank god, really.

Criminal Syndrome
Episode 6 - Reversal
- Mama, read this. - Just a minute.
I'm gonna read it for you, okay.
Papa's doing his best, right?
Well of course. After papa finishes with your book...
- we'll celebrate, okay? - Yeah.
Okay, it's done. Now, let's read.
Chop chop.
Yes?
- Come in. - Excuse me.
- You're Muto Takashi, right? - Right.
You know Takanashi Michinori-san, don't you?
His son got kidnapped by someone.
- You talking about Kazuki-kun? - We don't know.
You're that Muto-san, aren't you?
A former First Investigation Division.
Are you close with Takanashi-san?
We had a dinner together once.
You can just tell us the truth.
What's that supposed to mean?
Just now, we had a contact about the ransom demand.
The one kidnapper picked as a courier...
is the man who distributed tissues with Takanashi-san together.
In other word, you Muto-san.
Me? What the hell's going on?
I want to know as well.
Do you have any knowledge at all about the kidnapper?
I don't have any.
Then why the kidnapper picked you?
Their demand is 100 million yen.
Now what? Will you accept it?
What if I refuse?
We'll try to come up with scenarios...
of the possibility we couldn't catch the kidnapper.
I understand.
- Prepare a car for me. - Right away.
I'm sorry. Asking you to do something unreasonable.
It's okay.
There's possibility the kidnapper is on look out.
It's best you don't wander around apartment.
The police will protect Kazuki-kun.
- Let's trust them. - Yes.
Muto-san. Thank you for doing this.
I'm sorry for asking you come so suddenly.
- Has the kidnapper contacted you again? - No, there's no contact yet.
What matter is we need the ransom money.
Please help us. Lend me 100 million yen.
Michinori, raise your head.
I'll prepare the money.
He's my grandson after all. 100 million is nothing than his safety.
But with one condition.
Return at once. Leave that woman.
A woman raised in System* is unfit to holding Takanashi House.
*System, just like child welfare system.
Please wait a minute. That's...
If you don't accept this condition I won't give you the money.
Between life of your son or that woman, which one is the most important?
Again he says "that woman", as if Michinori's wife weren't there
I will leave Michinori-san. So please, lend us the money.
I don't have anything to wish for as long as he's back safely.
That's why please... please save my son.
Sorry, I couldn't make it tonight.
How's Mariko?
It's good. She's stable.
I see.
Mariko and I are all right. You just be careful, okay.
Yes, please take care of her.
So, everything is as predicted.
Muto can't defy his own instinct.
The rest is up to how they play.
- The kid can be saved, right? - Well, that is...
something beyond my very control.
The kidnapper asked a rental car for transporting the ransom money.
The car has already been prepared.
Please standby at Takanashi's apartment until they give further instructions.
I got it. Any news about Kazuki?
Still unclear.
Give this phone number to the kidnapper.
We put a tiny transceiver on that particular phone...
so officers at Headquarters can listen to your conversations.
We'll also follow you from behind.
Let's do it.
Also one thing.
We've attached GPS on the rental car.
If something happens we definitely will find out.
Is that mean you're suspecting me?
The police always see the usual suspect first.
Well, I'm just wishing things won't end badly.
100 million in all.
We asked the bank to jot down the serial number in advance.
The police also already know of it.
Thank you. Thanks for the trouble.
You should give the gratitude to your father.
Why didn't the police carry it here?
This is 100 million yen. Don't trust anyone, even police officer.
That's the way of President Takanashi.
Then, I'll take my leave.
Thank you very much.
How do you do? How are things lately?
I told you not to concern with me anymore.
As expected of you, Muto-san.
If it were me, perhaps I'd strongly decline it.
Using vehicle to transport the ransom.
They did good job in preparing 100 million ransom money.
The one who lent it is President Takanashi, right?
Why'd you know that far?
That's something we'll be discussing at different occasion.
Different occasion?
Eventually, at not-so-distant day.
Please exercise every action carefully.
You know how good Japanese police force is.
Hello.
Are you done preparing the money?
Yes, I have 100 million in hand.
The tissue guy is here too?
He's here.
I beg you, let me hear Kazuki voice! Just a word, please!
Papa?
- Kazuki! - Papa! Help me!
Don't worry! There's nothing to be afraid of!
I'll definitely save you!
Listen, go to Chofu Airport.
Bring the money at 12 o'clock.
I'm really sorry. Please help us.
Please save Kazuki. Please I beg you.
- The courier has moved. - Chief!
We've deployed our man to the Chofu Airport.
Good work.
What's the connection between Takanashi, Muto and the kidnapper?
Don't know. But now..
he's the only clue we have to lead us to the kidnapper.
- Don't lose him. - Roger.
- Hello. - Tissue guy?
Yes, I am.
Change of destination. Head toward Sky Tree.
Sky Tree?
You have 2 hours.
The ransom hand over has been changed to Sky Tree!
Deploy Quick Respond Team there at once!
Change of destination. Go to Tamagawa Amusement Park.
Are you deaf, tissue guy?
I'm going. How much I have?
Just drive, quickly!
I think their goal is to flagging police vehicles.
Proceed with caution.
It's okay. Kazuki will be saved.
Why did you accept my father's term?
Kazuki is his blood-relative grandson after all.
Even father would've saved Kazuki without such promise.
Was there anything we can do?
I'm serious.
I'm not like my parents who abandoned me. It's for Kazuki's sake.
Where should I go next?
You're already know what's in my head.
- Let me hear Kazuki's voice! - In time, okay.
Lucky day for you. Now you can get off from the car.
What?
Bring the money to the family restaurant around the corner.
We will chase them.
Wait. Maybe the kidnapper expecting it.
Do not enter the restaurant.
Each units keep a distance and standby.
Clear the perimeter carefully without letting the kidnapper notice!
Roger!
Welcome. A table for one?
- Yes please. - Please follow me.
This is your table.
Welcome sir.
Are you alone?
Who are you searching sir?
- Sorry I'm late. - You slow poke, where were you?
The traffic is packed.
Is there anyone here named Takanashi?
- I'm Takanashi. - A call for you.
Hello.
- Tissue guy? - Yes.
You broke the promise.
Cars who run nearby you were police's, weren't it?
That's my last warning. No kidding anymore, listen very well.
From now you do as I say.
Don't speak a word.
You lost him?!
Team 3, search around Narisawa Bridge. Team 4, go to Motomiya Shrine.
Leave all your mobile phones here
Come to the warehouse no.5 at Okawa Pier I'll kill the hostage if you're late
Time limit's 21 hours
I'll kill the hostage
What happened with Muto? You haven't found him yet?!
The kidnapper?
Still at large.
They escaped?
How's Kazuki-kun?
We're the one who want ask that question.
Well, we'll have time for that at the interrogation room.
As a person of interest.
The money has been delivered to the kidnapper, right?!
Kazuki will come home safely, right?!
Most likely.
The kidnapper has no reason to keeping Kazuki anymore.
Find him quickly, please!
He must be afraid now.
My poor son... Please find him!
Quickly!
Why did you act alone?
I was only thinking about the safety of the hostage.
You're an ex-detective, aren't you?
You could just write a lead, or draw a map location.
You had wireless radio in the first place. There was many many ways to tell us.
There was a possibility the kidnapper hid nearby.
I didn't want to risk it, even for one in million chance.
Above all of that, you still could track me through GPS.
You should be able to follow me anyway.
Then why did you change the car?
- I changed the car? - The car with GPS attached...
we found it around the building you were entered nearby.
The car you drove to the pier was stolen car!
Different car with the same model!
If someone hadn't noticed you lying unconsciously there...
it'd have been impossible for us to find you.
That's it. They were being alert of GPS attached on the car.
That's why they chose rental car and made me drive aimlessly.
When I was in that building they changed the car with same model.
They established delivery ransom's time limit to the very last minute.
They'd put a red herring before me.
Suppose your reasoning was correct...
whether the car was changed or not...
there wasn't any traces left beside yours.
It's time you tell us your connection with the kidnapper.
- I really don't have any inclination! - Stop fooling around!
Where's the child!?
Metro Police Department (MPD) Tamaki of Second Personnel Affairs Division.
Leave us two alone please.
Pardon me, but this room is off-limits beside authorized personnel.
Hello. What?
I understand.
Come on. Just go!
What the hell happened there?
We were just starting investigating.
The command came from top brass's Chief Detective.
He says to let Tamaki untouched.
What kind of power he held, that Chief Detective?
Dunno.
I believe you're not complicit in this kidnap case.
I talked with Chief Hamamura.
Please, you can go home now.
- What're you planning? - I came running here because I got worried.
As I always be on your side.
You're the only person who had contact with the kidnapper.
You should get out of here and continue your pursue, right?
I refuse.
I don't want ever to borrow your power again.
Is that so? I see.
They haven't found the kid yet?
The kidnapper has stopped contacting ever since.
You still have anything to say?
I don't.
Why they still can't found him?
Maybe they're keeping Kazuki until they make sure of their escape.
You should rest for a bit.
I'll stay awake.
You haven't got any sleep, have you?
Just now, I heard Kazuki's footsteps!
Kazuki!
Miwa!
Rabbit-kun. It will be a book tomorrow.
Muto-san, there's something you need to know.
There's no need for that. Please leave.
I see.
Just like you said...
I won't do much being stay still in here.
Muto-san, actually just now...
the body of Takanashi Kazuki-kun has been found.
Why did you let them escape? Answer me!
Subbed by Antmuse Get it @d-addict
What do you think the most important thing to do now?
I don't shit around! The money was counterfeit!
Maybe she herself would also get kidnapped.
This case is still far from end.
