I'm not going to investigate. It's for something else.
It's your dad's case, isn't it?
The one who went after the suspect who shot Sakurai...
It was Director Osakabe.
Director Osakabe?
This is Sakamoto.
An inspector named Minami from Kitamachi Police Station...
is investigating the case from 25 years ago!
I've received the gym membership information of the scarred man.
His name is Kirishima Shinji. He's 45 years old.
He's the son of the deputy director of the police.
So the superiors, who knew about it, covered up for him.
You are Kirishima Shinji, right?
Senior. Senior!
Chief Toyama, please stop.
Chief Toyama.
You can leave.
Please excuse me.
After my father was shot,
you were the one who went after the suspect.
Yes.
You knew it was Kirishima Shinji, the deputy director's son,
but the police pinned all the crimes on Nakasato, didn't they?
Inspector Minami, who went after Kirishima, has been shot.
Protecting the police's honour.
That is the duty of elite bureaucrats.
Didn't you...
used to smile and talk to me about my father?
Director Osakabe!
I'm sorry to disturb you.
Chief Toyama, Deputy Director Manabe is calling for you.
You based your suspicion without any real evidence...
on former Deputy Director Kirishima's son.
And you've recklessly accused the police of a cover up.
You don't deserve to be an elite bureaucrat.
You are suspended from active duty...
and you are relieved of your position...
as chief of Kitamachi Police Station.
They make up less than 0.1 percent of...
the total number of police officers.
They have a high chance of becoming the superiors of the organisation.
We call them elite bureaucrats.
(Offbeat Chief Police)
I've been relieved of my position as the chief.
You've been demoted and you act like it's nothing.
(Deputy Chief Handa Junji)
Where are you right now?
I will leave our colleagues in Kitamachi Police Station to you.
Chief! Hello?
Chief!
(Kitamachi Police Station, Metropolitan Police Department)
I will be the acting chief of Kitamachi Police Station.
I am Akijima Keiichi.
My first assignment to everyone...
is to arrest former Chief Toyama Kinshiro.
The chief has been relieved of his duties?
Why do we need to arrest him?
He has been trying to frame the former Deputy Director's son,
Kirishima Shinji,
for the killing of a police officer 25 years ago.
During an investigation, Inspector Minami...
was attacked by an unknown suspect.
Toyama was suspended and he left the police residence...
without permission.
He could be continuing the investigation.
Bring Toyama to me!
The culprit is Kirishima!
Hey, Aikawa!
The man who killed the chief's father 25 years ago...
and who shot Senior is Kirishima Shinji!
My source said the accusations on this case from 25 years ago...
is baseless.
Also, headquarters has arrested...
the man who shot Inspector Minami.
The culprit is Shibata Issei, 36 years old.
He has been under watch for a while for smuggling guns.
How can that be?
If you keep on investigating Kirishima,
you will end up like Toyama.
I heard Kirishima came here.
Please go back. You can't come here without an appointment.
Toyama is trying everything to get in touch with Kirishima.
You have to stop his investigation.
If Kirishima is arrested,
he will testify in court...
and reveal our cover up 25 years ago.
I will leave it to you.
Leave it to me.
The method of using a scapegoat...
is the same as the case from 25 years ago.
We have a report that Toyama appeared at Kirishima's restaurant.
The address is 5-chome, Shiotsuki.
Go search the area now!
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
Don't stand there and do nothing, you low-ranked fools.
Why are you so slow?
Are you infected by the former chief's stupidity?
- What did you say? - Stop it. Hey, stop it!
I'm really sorry.
Go find Toyama now.
Go!
- Deputy Chief. - Yes.
You are dumb but you can still learn.
You should learn from him on how to be a non-elite.
Step aside!
On the fourth around 10 PM,
did you see a man with a scar on his neck?
No.
Okay, thank you.
Toyama,
please stop the investigation on Kirishima.
Please go back to Kitamachi Police Station with us.
Stop! Wait!
Toyama, stop right there!
(Violent Crime Division, Inspector Minami Yozo)
Sorry to disturb you.
Misato, what happened?
Did the chief come here?
No. Why?
It's nothing.
I'm sorry. It's nothing.
Wait, Misato.
I don't know what happened to Kin-san.
But we...
will always stand by your side.
Thank you.
Kirishima Shinji.
You are the one who shot Inspector Minami, aren't you?
I heard they caught the culprit,
Toyama Kinshiro-san.
How do you know my name?
The police said you harbour resentment...
towards me even when I'm innocent.
They asked me to be on the alert.
"Innocent"?
You are a suspect...
in the shooting of an office worker and Sakurai Shuhei 25 years ago.
That man was your father, right?
That policeman who died for nothing.
"Died for nothing"?
He died protecting a kid.
If it's really like what you think,
then the police protected the killer and let him get away.
Then he died for nothing.
If I am the suspect, I would thank the police.
There might be new victims if this continues.
Right?
If the culprit will not be arrested no matter what he does.
Chief!
Toyama!
Please go back to the station with us for inciting violence.
Hey!
- Stop! - Stop right there.
That's the police for you.
Come in.
Midori said you can come here anytime you want.
Are you hungry? I'll prepare something now.
Okay, please have a seat now.
Here.
Come, let's eat. Come.
Thank you for the food.
Thank you for your hospitality.
I'm leaving now.
I'll go with you!
Although I'm just an rookie, I want to help you.
I want to help you!
What do you want to do?
The police can't do anything.
All this time, didn't we do so many things...
that we weren't supposed to do?
But that's because we had the organisation to support us.
It's all just words now.
You were hard on me.
You made me save so many people with you.
I always...
wanted to become someone like you.
Someone who can get close to others.
Chief.
You can ask for help too.
Don't ignore your own sadness.
Pardon me, we are the police.
Is anyone here? Pardon me!
Please have faith in everyone.
Didn't you say you want to trust the citizens and the police?
This is not like you.
What is like me?
Minami,
I'm the reason you were shot. I'm sorry.
All this time, I followed in my father's footsteps.
I want to become a police officer like him.
I lived with his conviction.
All this while,
I thought if I become an officer like my father,
I can change the situation.
The justice that I believe in...
Was I wrong about it?
If the police let criminals get away,
then I...
What do you plan to do?
Minami-san.
Sakurai-san's last words.
You want to know it, right?
Sakurai-san!
You must remember one last thing.
What one last thing?
Don't talk like that!
What we must remember...
is not hate.
But the pride of being a policeman.
What we must remember is not hate.
But the pride of being a policeman.
You...
haven't been wrong.
It was me.
I didn't follow Sakurai-san's advice.
Even when you didn't know anything,
you still followed his principle.
If the police can't make you feel proud,
make it happen so that you would feel proud.
That can only be done by an elite bureaucrat,
right?
If you're gone,
we'd be lonely without you.
We also can't be the police...
that inspire pride.

Hello.
Are you Mr Sakamoto?
Yes.
There is something I like to ask about the shooting 25 years ago.
There was a detective named Minami who came and asked me too.
Minami has been shot by Kirishima.
So you know Kirishima?
Please tell me.
I don't know anything.
Please.
Wait!
Chief.
Thank you. You've made me see things clearly now.
I finally understand because of you.
I went to see your wife.
I heard that 25 years ago,
your newborn daughter had an operation overseas.
About Kirishima taking your gun,
they paid for your daughter's operation...
to keep you quiet, didn't they?
That's not true.
I...
don't know anything.
If you are in pain because of the guilt,
could you tell me the truth?
It's just like what you said.
Kirishima snatched my gun.
I'm sorry.
Everyone.
Although the higher-ups ordered us to arrest you two,
we don't want to do it.
Why?
We feel the same as you.
We want pledge on the police's pride and arrest Kirishima.
He has to pay for shooting your father and Inspector Minami.
Chief, please give us an order.
- Chief! - Chief!
Let's start the briefing.
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
According to Sakamoto's statement,
Kirishima snatched his gun.
What's left now is how to arrest Kirishima...
when the statute of limitations has passed.
His father, former Deputy Director Kirishima Kanno...
seems to be a strict person.
He wanted his son to be an elite bureaucrat.
But Kirishima failed the high school test.
Since then, he left home and wandered everywhere.
We questioned his friends. He doesn't have any close friends.
He went quiet for five years after the case.
A five-year blank period.
Haven't you caught Toyama yet?
Toyama, you dare to just barge in like this?
Inspector Minami has given his statement.
Kirishima shot Inspector Minami.
A nobody's testimony against Kirishima whom he holds a grudge,
it won't hold up.
Besides shooting Inspector Minami,
we have other crimes to arrest Kirishima for.
I will arrest him...
for killing the officer worker and Sakurai Shuhei.
You fool. That case has passed its statute of limitations.
The statute of limitations is 15 years.
We know Kirishima cut ties with his father.
He went to France for five years after the shootings.
That means the statute of limitations has not been reached.
During his five years abroad,
the statute of limitations on murder was abolished in 2010.
That means it does not apply to Kirishima's case.
That means I can arrest him now.
I am applying for an arrest warrant and permission to carry firearms.
I will not let you arrest Kirishima.
I also won't let you carry firearms!
The son of a former Deputy Director would not commit a crime!
We won't let incidents from 25 years ago to repeat again!
- Chief! - Handa-san.
Deputy Chief, it's useless to stop us!
Handa, tell these fools!
Chief,
I will apply for the arrest warrant.
The permit to carry firearms is ready.
Handa-san.
Thank you for protecting everyone while I was away.
I haven't agreed to any of this!
You are fired.
I only know Chief Toyama.
If the chief didn't ask me to take care of everyone,
who would listen to you?
What did you say?
You are all fired!
The higher-ups will give you your orders soon enough.
We will arrest him before that happens.
- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir!
Chief.
Stop him!
We'll handle the situation here!
Chief, go arrest Kirishima!
Bring your father's case to a close!
Aikawa, you go too! Protect the chief!
Okay!
Go now.
Do you know what you're doing?
Do you really want to end your careers?
I apologise for last time, Kirishima Shinji-san.
It's you again,
elite bureaucrat Chief Toyama Kinshiro.
We have come to arrest you.
We know you stole the gun.
The case has no longer a statute of limitations.
I hate people like you.
Kirishima Shinji has escaped from...
the basement level of the Zisaki building.
This is Aoki. I'm moving to the Zisaki building now.
Stop right there!
I'm sorry, he got away.
So you came to help, Aoki-san.
I'm sorry, I only managed to get his scarf.
Good work.
Nice going, Aoki!
Yes. I will go after him now.
This is Handa. Chief, please come back to the station now.
Everyone is awaiting your orders.
- This is Mizuguchi... - Chief, please go back.
I will go after Kirishima.
Please.
- Be careful. - Yes, Sir.
We must arrest Kirishima before Kitamachi station does.
We can still keep it quiet if we arrest him first.
This is Akijima.
What is happening over there?
Pardon?
People are calling the 110 police line...
to offer information on Kirishima Shinji!
Isn't Kin after him?
Call Kitamachi Police Station.
You saw the man with the scar? Where is he?
Okay. Got it. Thank you.
Why are tip-offs keep coming in?
After Kin-san came,
we felt the police is with us now.
Everyone was helped by Kin so much.
We want to help however we can.
- Everyone. - Kin-san!
These are all eyewitness.
Thank you.
Nothing is hidden from the public eye.
No matter if it's a culprit or the police, we can't hide the truth.
Please come in, Chief.
Please come in.
Whoever is available,
please record the times and locations...
where people have seen Kirishima.
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
I have only one more order.
You have to arrest the suspect,
but the safety of the citizens is our priority.
Understood. Thank you. I'll go take a look.
- Bye bye. - Bye bye.
Okay. The eyewitness statements are almost done.
We have some new information coming in.
Chief, a call for you.
- For me? - Yes.
Hello, this is Toyama.
Let's play a game.
I will wait for you at the place your father was shot.
I heard everyone at Kitamachi...
is working together to arrest Kirishima.
For Chief Toyama.
Is it now?
Even though you don't want to admit it,
I can feel...
your desire to protect the organisation...
and your former partner's son.
You don't need to sympathise with people that you should hate.
I don't want to...
ignore Sakurai-san's last words anymore.
This brings back memories.
It's just like 25 years ago.
The son is in the same situation in which his father was shot.
This is such an interesting game!
I want to try it.
To see whether you, the son, will also protect a kid.
Why are you doing this?
To test the police.
Stealing the gun...
Shooting the office worker and Sakurai Shuhei...
Everything I've done has proved...
that the police is not about justice at all.
They've covered it up and protected me.
The police which talks about absolute justice did all that.
The police only cares about protecting itself.
But your father was a fool.
He could have saved himself like other policemen.
But he sacrificed himself to protect the citizens.
What about you? What do you plan to do?
Do you intend to sacrifice yourself for nothing as well?
Or will you leave the kid and run.
Five.
Four.
Hey,
like those corrupt policemen, you should just leave him and run.
Three.
Two.
Are you stupid?
One!
Kirishima Shinji, put down the gun!
Chief, permit us to shoot him!
Shoot me.
You must hate me a lot.
And when I die, the police...
can bury the case forever.
And you can have your revenge for your father.
That's the best that can happen.
Look at you on your high horse.
But the police is just like this!
The police is absolute justice.
My son must be an elite bureaucrat.
If you are not an elites bureaucrat, you are worthless.
This is your fault. You harmed the police's reputation.
This is unforgivable.
We have to cover up the truth for the police force.
This is justice.
Father...
The police is wrong.
Kirishima is inciting them to shoot him.
If he dies, the cover up will never be exposed.
Chief, hurry!
What we must remember...
Is not hate.
But the pride of being a police officer.
Do not shoot.
Why won't you let them shoot?
If you hold grudges, you can't move forward.
Chief.
You...
were hoping that your father acknowledged your crime.
25 years ago. As a son...
live on and repent.
Why should I bow down to the police?
What I hated the most...
are people like you...
and your father!
The 25-year hatred ends here.
Live!
Senior.
It's not just you, the police has to repent too.
Thank you.
You did well.
Good boy.
Pardon me.
We were just looking for you.
Give us Kirishima Shinji.
I will send him over when someone who has no connection to this...
is in charge of the case.
I see. We were wrong.
What promotion do you want?
Do you want any particular position?
Do you intend to repeat the same mistake?
What are you saying?
You twisted the facts 25 years ago.
And it almost got an officer killed.
Sacrifices are unavoidable in this organisation.
We did not make a wrong decision.
I will not connive any crime.
There's trouble. Switch on the TV.
What is it?
(Serial killer caught. Police whistle-blower, Osakabe Shinsuke.)
25 years ago,
the case in which a policeman's firearm was stolen...
and caused the death of...
a citizen and a police officer,
I deeply apologise...
for covering up...
the true facts of the case.
The fool.
The culprit's name...
is Kirishima Shinji.
He is the eldest son of a former deputy director of the police.
The people who were involved in the cover up...
includes myself...
and Deputy Director Maname.
Osakabe!
The culprit's father...
Why are you going public now?
Because I want to put the future of the police...
in the hands of a station chief.
What does that mean? Please explain.
Enough! Switch it off!
Yes, Sir.
Look at what he has done!
If only he overlooked these small sacrifices,
we could have preserved the authority of the organisation.
It didn't just involve the police.
Kirishima killed a citizen as well.
Compared to preserving national security, this is nothing!
I can't look at this anymore.
What do you mean?
The police...
can decide on the importance of matters by themselves.
We can't ignore the citizens.
You brat. What nonsense are you talking?
If we don't have an ideal, there will be no future for the police.
We can't protect the country and the organisation with just talk.
Then let me change the police organisation.
What are you saying?
Who do you think you are?
I am Toyama Kinshiro, Kitamachi Police Station's Chief...
who will ensure the future of the police.
I vow in the name of the sakura that I won't connive any crime.
(Metropolitan Police Department)
(Police whistle-bower. Apology after 25 years. Police hiding the truth.)
(Higher-ups resign)
You look better than the photo.
You originally wanted to do it.
To repent your sin. That's why you transferred me here.
Even then, I can't repay all my sins.
Father won't be angry with you who upheld the police's principle.
I will continue to learn from him too.
Here.
Let's try the eagle pose.
- Okay. - Okay.
Put your left foot on your right.
Twist. Twist.
Twist!
- Rika, how is it? - Look. Look at me.
That's not bad, Senior.
I did it.
Are you keeping in touch with Kin-san?
Me? Why do you ask?
Are you okay?
Marie.
What is that?
Why can't you be more careful?
(Please give us your feedback.)
I am Aoki Shinobu, I've transferred to the Violent Crime Division today.
- Please take care of me. - Okay.
Aikawa, you are in charge of Aoki.
But I have the serial robbery investigation.
Mentor him while you investigate that.
You should be able to handle this now.
Yes, Sir.
He said I can handle it now.
Hello everyone, a moment please.
I have been the acting-chief for a while now.
We will have a new chief today.
Everyone, pay attention...
No matter who the new chief is,
we will do our duties.
Robbery suspect spotted at 6-Chrome, Kitamachi.
Okay, let's go.
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
Sorry, this might be the suspect.
I saw him holding a knife at the door.
- Chief! - Chief!
You're the police chief?
I am Toyama Kinshiro, the new chief of Kitamachi Police Station.
I vow in the name of the sakura that I won't connive any crime.
