When you watch television, brighten up the room and watch it from a distance.
This city is constantly surrounded by white smoke.
Steam flows out from everywhere, hiding the city within a thick cloud.
No other energy source, other than coal, could be emracted from this land.
For this reason, in this world,
the advancement of steam powered engine technology took a quantum leap.
Taking cover in the white web, numerous thieves
and phantoms have come out of the woodwork.
The people, who live in the darkness and the white smoke,
have branded them disturbers of the peace.
We address this city surrounded by the smoke as... Steam City.
Steam Detectives
I'm gazing at it, I'm feeling it
I’m being watched over by your heart
No matter what's going on, the night you smile
it’s a million dollar night
The echoing footsteps carve out the rhythm of sorrow
The moment I stepped into the white, mysterious maze
Oh set up the game
Even if I’m confused by tricks and I’m frightened
it’ll probably be all right
Everything is a transient illusion, only the two of us are real
I won't give up, I won't abandon hope
I won't be broken until the end
No matter what's going on, the night you smile
it’s a million dollar night
World's Love Bear Expo
A Dress Bear with black diamond eyes, the rarest of them all.
I won't let anyone steal them.
Releasing the security device now.
All right.
Let's see...
I wonder how he's deciding the combination to the lock?
Since he seemed vey confident about it,
he's probably using some random number chart.
it’s a special safe that cannot be penetrated by any bomb.
in addition, I’m the only one who knows the combination.
it’s a complete security system!
What a relief to know security's this tight.
That hair style looks good on you, Ling Ling.
That's the fourth time you've said that today.
But I’m happy. I really like this style.
The Target Is Onigawara _
No!
Excuse me.
Hey, mister. Why don't you hand over that babe?
Grown adults are still playing ''tag''?
Hey, babe. You really shouldn't bump into someone and pretend nothing happened.
Ouch! See? I got a broken bone.
it’s gotta be a compound fracture.
We gotta have you pay for medical bills.
They're the ones who ran into me!
Say what?!
If you want to say something, we'll listen to it down at the station!
Yikes! A cop?!
Crap! Run!
Are you all right?
I was so scared...
Well...
At any rate, let's go to the station to file a report,
and soon after that, I’ll have a rookie take you home.
No.
Please let me be like this a little longer.
I feel so much at ease just by doing this...
Please...
Okay... That is...
Hey, hold up that end for me!
How many boxes we got left?
Maybe six. Was the stuff by the stairs taken care of?
The bed got stuck, so I’m taking apart the legs at the moment.
Moving Center
I wonder if someone's moving in.
Moving Center
How much is left?
The truck is almost empty. The rest is beneath the stairs.
Then it looks like it'll all be taken care of by noon.
Of course.
Huh?!
You're...
The officer from the other night!
This might be a bit too much.
Detective Onigawara will eat that like it's nothing.
I wonder if he's home? Maybe we should have called first.
He said today's his day off, so he's probably muddling around at his place.
See, there he is.
Oh, good.
Huh? I wonder if he has a guest?
Hey, Detective Onigawara's smooth.
Eh? Does that mean that's his girlfriend?
No doubt about it. To call her into his room, that's a coy relationship.
I wonder...
Has to be. It must be.
Spring's finally here.
Narutaki?
Say, what's the matter?
Oh, nothing.
Who could it be at this hour?
Yes, who is it?
I’m sorry to disturb you at this hour.
I made too much lunch for myself.
If you'd like some--
I’m sorry about what happened earlier.
Never mind that. But still...
Oh... I’m sorry...
That's all right.
Please do your best at work.
I’ll be happy if we meet again on our way back by chance.
See you.
Yo, 'scuse me. Gimme a cup of coffee as well.
Gotcha.
But why me? I got myself a free meal, so... Oh, well.
I’ll put the coffee here.
Gotcha.
Detective Onigawara.
These research materials came in handy. I’m returning them now.
I see.
I told you there was no hurry.
Hey...
Hey, sandwiches.
Go ahead and have some. I’ll bring you some coffee.
Wow. That woman's devoted.
it’s lunch packed with love.
Huh? Really?
You're such a kid.
Today went by without incident.
There are two more days left for the expo.
I hope it ends without any trouble.
There's no need to worry.
Security's A-OK.
I’ll be back tomorrow.
Thank you for a hard day's work.
Thanks.
The target left through the rear exit.
He's heading toward the alley.
He's out of the alley.
He's headed toward the front entrance.
He's has another 30 meters to go before he reaches you, Ma'am!
Say, wait a minute. I should get that woman something.
Think I’ll get some takoyaki before heading back.
The target reversed directions!
Heading this way. I’m hiding!
What?! That doofus!
You're in my way! Move aside!
The target is 30 meters away from the fourth precinct's intersection.
20 meters. 10 meters.
Oh, Detective. What a coincidence.
Yeah... Takoyaki wouldn't be good.
I might as well get some shortcake from near where I live.
Didn't work!
Ma'am, the target will take the subway.
Damn it!
How much is it?
You imbecile!
Hurry and outrun that train!
But Ma'am...
Oops. I’m sorry, Ma'am. Out of coal.
Damn it.
Now Playing
He's probably home by now.
What an idiot I’ve been...
Hey, what a coincidence to meet you here.
This is to say thanks for this morning. It's shortcake.
I ran out of cigarettes, so l got this while I was at it.
Would you like some?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Detective Oni...
Oh... Am I interrupting?
Oh, no. It's nothing like that.
There was something I forgot to include with the returned reference materials.
So, that's why...
So, you came here just for that?
I’m sorry. I’ll be leaving now.
Hey, wait a minute...
I’ll see you part of the way.
is it all right for you to leave your girlfriend alone?
She's not that.
You're gonna pay! You're gonna pay!
Don't say that, Ling Ling.
I’m definitely gonna seduce him!
I wonder if I did something bad.
A lunch packed by a loving wife again today.
Seems like you've got a good thing going lately.
I wonder what the deal is, anyway.
What are you talking about?
Tonight at 8, I’ll be waiting at the ''Cafe' de Bont'' in front of the opera house
the ''Cafe' de Bont'' in front of the opera house. Kiss!
''Kiss''?
Keep up the good work.
Yes, sir.
You're really resistant to alcohol.
You drank quite a bit...
When it's suggested by a beautiful woman such as yourself, no one can turn it down.
Huh?
is something the matter?
That place from the other day...
Hey, wait...
Hey! This is...
Hurry!
But... Whoa!
After all that running, all that alcohol went to my head.
I’m taking a shower.
What?
I broke a sweat.
I’ll jump his bones by seducing him with my beauty.
A man's easy, after all...
I’ve become drawn to you...
Ever since I met you on top of that bridge...
I become vey relaxed when I’m in your arms...
I... want us to become two people who don't keep secrets from each other.
Huh?
Hey! Hey!
Ouch... It hurts, Ling Ling.
Damn you!
Ma'am, did it go well?
Give me a gun!
Oh, okay.
How dare you insult me like that?!
No! Please calm down, ma'am!
Let go! I’m not forgiving him!
What of the Dress Bear, then?
That's right. We have to ask him the combination.
Yikes!
Don't move. You're all under arrest.
The combination is actually my birthday.
We did it, ma'am!
Shut up!
Why?
World's Love Bear Expo
What was all my effort for?
He blabbed because you were able to get him to sleep, ma'am.
I went through all that trouble just to ask him...
To think, he spilled it while talking in his sleep!
Ma'am, we're opening it.
That dense man...
Ma'am, it's finally ours.
Ma'am?
Eh?
Gimme!
Whoa!
Take that, and that, and that...
What are you doing, ma'am?! If you do that...
What's going on?
Scorpion megamaton, hack that bunch into pieces!
Let's go!
Yes, ma'am!
Goriki!
Here we go, Mr. Goriki.
We'll get lost while the megamaton's got the cops' attention!
Gotcha!
Go, Goriki!
Why was I asleep in a place like that?
Huh?
Hey!
Freeze!
Huh? The Dress Bear!
Put that down and surrender peacefully!
Hmm? Could you be...
You're...
Ma'am?
How did you know the combination?
Gee! Maybe some idiot spilled it while he was talking in his sleep.
My pride won't allow me to take the Dress Bear under these circumstances.
I won't forgive you! You dense doofus!
Are you all right, Detective Onigawara?
That bitch!
Lower the bridge!
But if I do that, it'll hit the boat!
Crap!
Then get to the other side!
Yes, sir!
Crap!
Hurry!
I couldn't seduce you, so I lost.
Guess that makes this a draw.
To be continued
in my ordinary, everyday life
The oasis in my heart that I’d almost forgotten
All the mistakes should not have been made in vain
So you can have a little pride in who you are now
