We have an unwavering bond
You are one of a kind. You're my best buddy
I don't need brakes
A sign of invincibility. Full throttle
The asphalt spread out
Happy-go-lucky blue skies
Trouble happens every day
Take aim, and start the ignition!
Our eye contact
Creates mighty power
Wherever we go, we are unrivaled
We won't give up so easily!
It can't be measured
In terms of love and romance
We're a team without vague rules
We have an unwavering bond.
You are one of a kind. You're my best buddy
Even when walking a tightrope
If you speed up, it's checkmate!
How good to hear from you!
I was just on my way to go shopping...
Good idea. Okay...
Tonight? Sure.
No problem. See you then.
Episode 5 There's a Baby Locked in the Car!
We've been having a lot of car burglaries, mainly at parking lots.
The Criminal Investigation Section has asked for our assistance.
Keep a sharp eye out during your patrols. That is all.
Yes, sir!

Welcome!
Beer and edamame.
Beer and edamame, coming up.
Another baby abandoned inside car
Here you go!
I'll drink it later. Put a cap on it.
Huh?
For crying out loud, what the hell am I doing?
So where's that car burglar been active?
According to Tokuno's information, public baths, supermarkets, and pachinko parlors...
He skillfully strikes when people aren't paying attention...
I see...
Our perp's a seasoned pro.
Bokuto Car 7, we have a vehicle on fire!
Proceed immediately to the coin-operated lot at Block 1 Number 31!
Ten-four!
Okay! Six o'clock it is.
What? My baby?
No problem. I'll figure something out...
Sorry... I'll call you back later.
What happened?
A car caught fire...
Oh no! Let me through!
Are you the owner of this car?
Yuuta!
Yuuta! Where's Yuuta?!
What happened to Yuuta?!
Yuuta?
There wasn't anyone inside.
My money's gone! It's been stolen!
What?!
Mine's gone, too!
Any damage?
He only stole my cash!
I had it locked! How'd this happen?!
Could it be?
It's our car burglar.
Toku-san, I checked this car as well.
It's the same M.O.
What? That means...
The natural conclusion is that the car burglar took the child...
But why?
So you left your baby in the car and went shopping?
Yes, I did.
You abandoned your baby in a closed space in this heat?
I didn't abandon him. I intended to come back right away.
Even if there was sale on brand name goods,
how could anyone forget the time and their baby?
How dare you! I had my reasons!
The interior of a sealed car is like a sauna!
Do you think a baby can withstand such high temperatures for very long?!
In the end...
I told you, I was going to come back right away!
How many times must I tell you that?!
What kind of mother is that?
I don't get it. Why is she getting angry?
She's a disgrace to all women.
My baby was kidnapped!
If you have time to be giving me this stupid lecture, go out there and catch the kidnapper!
Hold on a second!
What's your problem?!
If the police had caught the car burglar right away, none of this would have happened!
What?!
Let me make this clear! I'm the victim here!
If anything happens to my baby, I'll sue every one of you!
The nerve!
Miyuki...
What am I supposed to do now?
You seem like such a happy little fellow...
Mama... Mama!
I know, I know!
Give me a minute...
Er... uh...
Here's your bottle...
I'm pooped...
Man, what was I thinking?
Now what?!
Jeez...
Up you go!
He went and did it...
Do you have an idea who the perp is?
I can't be certain,
but aside from the baby incident,
the car burglaries have some rather unique characteristics.
He used special tools, and only stole cash...
After each burglary, he always relocked the car.
Going back through past records, I found one person whose methods were very similar.
So who is he?
The problem is, we don't know.
He's been burglarizing cars for more than 30 years, but we still don't know what he looks like.
Among his peers, his skills are legendary.
Legendary?
But that guy only goes after cash, right?
Why'd he take a baby this time?
I don't know... It's becoming more and more puzzling...
Peace and quiet at last...
I really ought to leave him somewhere...
Rest Area Lobby Traffic Section
Excuse me...
I'm sorry I hit you earlier...
But you're the mother. I wanted you to get your act together.
I know... It's all my fault.
I never dreamed this could happen...
I was only going to be gone a short while.
When I think about how was my fault...
I feel so terribly afraid...
I don't know what to do!
If anything happens to Yuuta...
Whatever you do, keep quiet, okay?
Busano Hospital
Outpatient Reception
Night Entrance
Oh how cute!
Is that your grandchild?
No, he's... uh...
Mommy, look! A baby!
Yes it is.
What's its name?
Is it a boy, or a girl?
Sorry... I'm in a hurry...
Bye-bye!
I couldn't turn him in to the police...
Does he know?
Th-this is bad...
Excuse me...
Y-yes?
You're dripping water.
What?
Maybe my drink leaked... Thank you for telling me.
It happens a lot to me.
The last time, I put a drink in my back pocket and sat on it.
I was told, "Aren't you a little old to be wetting your pants?"
Let's both be more careful!
Somebody is sure to find you...
Stop it! Stop crying!
Why does it have to be now?
Hey! What're you doing to my car?!
Hey! Stop!
What do you think, Miyuki?
The baby was the only thing in the car and there wasn't any cash...
Maybe he saw the baby and felt sorry for it...
That must be it. This isn't a kidnapping, is it?
Bokuto Car 7, there's been another car burglary.
Proceed immediately to the contract parking lot at Block 3 Number 2.
Miyuki!
Ten-four!
We're near the scene. See anyone suspicious?
There!
Natsumi, you know what to do!
Okay! We'll corner him from opposite sides!
Okay! Standing by!
I'll close off the front!
Ten-four!
You there! Stop!
Stop!
You're not getting away!
Aren't you glad?
Ironic, isn't it?
I evaded the law for 30 years...
But you couldn't ignore him.
Thanks to you, a baby's life was saved. Thank you.
To think compassion got the better of me...
I guess my time has come.
Mama... Mama!
You're hungry again?
He's lucky he doesn't have a clue...
Mama... Mama!
He's not hungry. He's calling for his mother.
So that's what "Mama" meant!
He prefers his mother, after all.
But she's an awful mother who abandoned her child!
The mother fully regrets what she did.
Mama... Mama!
Could you return the baby to his mother?
What?
I don't want you to be a kidnapper.
Yuuta! I'm glad you're safe!
I'm so glad!
This person rescued your limp baby from the car.
You should be grateful to him.
I considered looking the other way, but I just couldn't leave him there...
Thank you very much!
You're his mother, so get your act together.
He cries a lot and pees wherever he wants...
He's too much for me to handle!
I see... I'm sorry...
And he keeps asking for "Mama, mama"! He was driving me nuts!
Mama... Mama!
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Yuuta!
I'll never leave you alone again!
Now then...
We don't want to do this, but...
Saving a baby doesn't erase my car burglary crimes...
But it might reduce your sentence.
I've lived a crooked life...
This might be a good chance to start over.
Even the legendary burglar was no match for a baby...
That's how it is!
I win.
I blew it!
He lost again...
Is that fifteen straight losses?
Chief is no good.
But he's not as bad as you, Nakajima. You met the burglar but let him go.
Sh-shut up!
Well, I think that's enough for today...
W-wait!
Just one more game! Please!
For crying out loud, don't you know when to quit?
That's right! You should never give up and keep trying again!
Right?
Yes.
Car burglar finally arrested!
In games and in life!
Car burglar finally arrested!
I search through my pockets
And take out my only red apple
Without hesitation I place it
In the hands of my other half
I want to be so kind
The opposite of bravado
When we quietly place our backs
Against each other
It feels like we've become a complete person
We play with sparklers out of season
Stay with me until the small flame goes out
Under the moonlight
What am I going to do about these flabby arms?
They look cute.
You're lucky, Aoi... You look like you have such low body fat...
I work hard at it.
Do you do weight training?
No, I just do judo.
Anyway, I have a small part to play in the next episode.
Osu!
Hot! Hot! You bumped my elbow!
Episode 6 Aoi Becomes a Man?! Hot! Hot! You bumped my elbow!
Episode 6 Aoi Becomes a Man?! Sorry about that!
