Hurry up and bring him here!
Four years ago, during the bribery scandal,
you put all the blame on me and abandoned me!
You should at least apologize!
- If anyone has to apologize, it's you! - Chief Secretary!
Someone as shameless as you,
dying properly is the least you can do! Hold on, Chief Secretary!
It's wrong to let someone die in vain!
Apologize! Apologize! Apologize!
Are you all right?
He was shot in his femur, so there is a chance
of arterial injury as well as bone fracture.
I've already contacted your family.
It was your son who picked up the phone. He'll be heading to the hospital right away.
- Shimazaki-kun. - Yes?
6 hours 14 minutes...
...and 5 seconds.
No error.
No... error.
What's happening?
- Cardiac arrest. - Yes.
Excuse me, I have to switch places.
- Get ready. - Yes.
No, this can't be...
Chief!
Murata-san...
Murata-san!
The suspect is Ueno Yugo, 48, unemployed.
From 2001 until 2014,
he was the private secretary of Chief Secretary Igarashi.
Chief Secretary Igarashi's private secretary?
During our interrogation, he has stated that he obtained
the pistol with the intention of committing suicide.
As for anything else, we're still investigating.
That's all.
- That's it? - You're already done?
Hikawa-san! Hikawa-san!
The SP was present at the time, right? Wouldn't you call that a failure?
The primary duty of the SP are to protect the VIP.
We did that without flaw.
However, an ordinary person died!
How come you only care for the VIP?
Hikawa Osamu
MPD - Security Bureau - Section Chief
I heard that the victim himself meddled with the suspect who was in a rage.
- Is that the truth? - It is unfortunate indeed.
Are you saying that the victim provoked him?
Minister, you witnessed the moment it happened, right?
Tachihara Aiko
Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare
What happened?
It is because I was under the protection of the SP
that I didn't see the gun being fired.
Ochiai Yoshiaki
MPD - Security Bureau
(Security Police / SP)
Minister, the victim was a private bodyguard, right?
How exactly did he provoke the criminal?
No matter the cause,
it won't change the fact that a precious life was lost.
From the bottom of my heart, I pray that his soul may rest in peace.
( Murata Goro )
( Funeral Ceremony )
- Remove them. - Stop it, please!
Come on, stop it.
What's this? You're using violence on us?
Violence is bad!
Youichi...
I guess my dad was a fool after all.
That's not true.
He didn't provoke the criminal whatsoever.
Your father...
He was a bodyguard to the very end and protected all of us who were there.
Then...
How did things turn out that way?
( Restaurant Shooting ) ( Tragedy of a Mistaken Bodyguard )
( Bodyguard Playing Hero, Failing as Wannabe Cop )
( Victim's words triggered restaurant shooting, MPD verifies )
Sounds like the criminal only shot because he had to butt in.
Ma'am...
Youichi-kun.
We won't let them dishonor your father like that.
Imazeki Shigenobu
President of Hinode Security Service
- We will clear this misunderstanding. - Impossible.
The police and the politicians are all blaming it on one guardsman.
Dead men tell no tales.
Being a bodyguard is a worthless black labor after all!
- Don't you talk about your father's work like that! - Stop it!
Let's not do this.
Stop it, now.
I knew that being a bodyguard means that death is always by your side.
However, this doesn't mean that we should be prepared to die.
The legacy of Personal Security Chief Murata...
Let's not have it go to waste.
Dear...
Thank you for everything.
Pardon me.
11:28.
No error.
No... error.
No error.
Everyone, let's do this!
Translation: HPriest / Timing: Nys Twitter: @hpriestsubs / Subs: d-addicts.com
Thank you very much. Yes.
Yes, looking forward to it. Excuse me.
We've received a new request.
Our client will arrive here very soon.
I'm... not sure I can work...
I'm still in shock, to be honest...
I understand, but...
Things will get worse if we cancel this job now.
We have to keep going.
You're right...
It would be his wish as well.
I can't agree with that.
What matters the most right now
is to restore the honor of our chief!
How?
By having the police admit they're lying, of course.
If that was possible, it wouldn't have come to this.
The police and Minister Tachihara,
they're all covering for the Chief Secretary.
So we just give up!?
He won't be able to rest in peace!
Are you okay with them saying that his death was his own fault!?
Of course I'm not!
You said we're giving up in frustration?
We got no plan or anything right now...
Desperation won't get us anywhere!
We don't proceed with our missions until we're fully prepared.
That's our way as bodyguards.
Until we're at that point,
we've got to keep this department that he left behind running no matter what.
You're surprisingly cold.
Do you really think that sitting around and waiting will get us anywhere?
Guys!
Thanks again for the other time.
President Okubo, we're the ones who have to thank you.
Our client, it's you?
I know, I know... It must be difficult right now.
I can't believe that Chief Murata...
Thank you very much.
Well, I've been thinking about it
and figured that he'd appreciate it for me to request your service.
This time I'd like you to guard the launch of our new product.
The next flavor is sunny-side-up fried eggs?
- It's rare, right? - Yes.
- We're very confident about this one. - I can see why.
However, I'm here
because the personnel of a factory we had to close
stated that they intend to boycott the launch.
That is very concerning.
I'll be fine,
but I can't have them disgrace our important new snack.
You see, this has been in development for more than two years.
It's an unprecedented flavor.
Please.
- Please, have a seat. - Thank you.
Can you prepare some hot water?
Hey! Could you please wait!
Wait!
Are we clear?
There has been criticism towards the SP in relation to the shooting a few days ago,
but we haven't done anything wrong.
In a dignified manner, but...
...with a focused mind, that's how we guard.
Yes, sir!
Dismissed.
Do you think you can push through this?
This is the best possible conclusion.
The way things work, we can't afford to have the Chief Secretary as an enemy.
However, this way, Murata-san's honor...
Now, now.
Don't forget that you were on site and that this is protecting you as well.
You only want to protect yourself!
How painful. You trying to kill me?
Ochiai, listen. We didn't kill anybody.
It's a fact that Murata was shot by the criminal.
We only rewrote the ending a tiny bit.
It's time to prove your resolve.
The top brass have high hopes for you.
Three people should be enough to cover this venue.
I'll be part of the backup this time,
so how about you being the main bodyguard (BG)?
My memorable first time, huh?
Memorable?
Earlier...
I didn't really make myself clear, but...
Can I ask you to let me quit?
It's a bit embarrassing,
but my mom won't stop asking me to quit this dangerous job asap.
What about yourself?
Do you want to... You want to quit?
I don't really know.
Every day here has been a lot of fun...
...but I wouldn't call it a job I want to keep on doing for the rest of my life.
I'm sorry for getting all serious.
It's completely fine and better than being vague.
But will you be all right?
I mean, Takanashi-san might not stay here for much longer either...
Even if I'm alone, I'll keep on going. I can't do anything else.
More importantly...
It's your first and last time as the BG. Give it your best shot.
Yes, I will.
I'll make it a great memory.
A memory?
Ochiai-san.
We need to talk.
I'm on duty now.
Why won't you tell the truth?
Are the police telling you to keep your mouth shut?
What are you talking about? If you excuse me.
Your attitude of looking down on the private sector has always been pissing me off.
But you've always been thorough.
I've come to think of you as a very strong-willed and able person.
Ochiai-san...
...you have to save Chief Murata.
Please!
My sincerest condolences for what happened to Murata-san.
It's pointless. He's the SP incarnate.
There's no way he'll tell us the truth and make enemies of the police.
Is there anything that isn't pointless?
You really are irritating.
What's it with you and being awkward?
Well, it's not that I dislike that side of yours.
That cooled you off, eh? Let's go.
That fire was put out nice and quick.
Just one of the benefits of being me.
It's because they don't want you dead yet.
Don't say such disturbing things.
When I was a newscaster,
a Diet member indicted of having received illegal donations
ended up in a fatal accident.
Not exactly a rare occurrence in our world.
People who do whatever it takes are victorious.
That's the world you live in.
Everyone, our first request.
It's just that this job requires your utmost effort.
Hold on, Chief Secretary! It's wrong to let someone die in vain!
Minister Tachihara would like to have a word with you.
- Do you mind? - Didn't you already let yourself in?
- I'd like to... - If you're here to apologize,
don't apologize to me, apologize to his family.
I didn't come here to apologize.
I only lower my head
when I expect to get something in return.
Then what do you want?
Shimazaki-san...
This might be a strange thing to say to a bodyguard,
but please watch out for yourself.
Outside of the police, the only people who know the whole story of what happened
are you and Chief Murata.
You get it, don't you?
With Chief Murata dead, you're the only person left.
Are you saying that they will try to keep my mouth shut for good?
Don't be ridiculous.
I'm just a civilian with no involvement in politics at all.
This advice
is coming from someone who is still clinging
to the world of politics despite 10 years of backbiting since rising up from being an announcer.
If you excuse me.
Good evening.
- You were obviously hiding it just now. - I'm telling you, it's...
I'm home.
Shun.
Has anything strange happened?
- What do you mean, strange? - Did someone come here or any strange calls?
Not really.
You want some?
I don't.
You sure?
You do.
Okay, here we go.
You working for 'em again?
This is good, right?
What flavor is this?
"Sunny-side-up fried eggs" flavor?
They never cease to amaze me.
So good.
Today is the launch of Sasuke Foods new product.
Caution is advised next to the food sampling booth.
Backup will be handled by Suganuma-san and I.
The BG will concentrate on President Okubo's movements.
Yes.
- I'm sorry, my earphone, could you... - What are you doing?
Your first time. Go get 'em.
Copy that.
8:31:15.
- No error. - No error.
No error.
For those on standby, we'll call if we need support.
Right.
Once we're done, we'll help you with that other thing.
We can't just sit around and wait.
Time isn't infinite.
Please.
Alright, let's go.
Please!
Hello!
Congratulations on your new product!
Everyone, the samples are waiting for you. Go and have a bite!
Go and taste the miraculous taste!
Higuchi Cutter!
( The comedian's catchphrase. )
Everyone, please gather here. Come over here.
BG, your expression is scary. Take a deep breath.
Okay.
- President, congratulations. - Congratulations.
Say, is he your new secretary?
No, he's my bodyguard, you see.
- A bodyguard? - Would you look at that?
- He's handsome, huh? - So cool!
- You're showing off too much. - My bad.
- Excuse me, may I? - It was fascinating.
- It's egg flavor. - Egg flavor?
Everyone please, over here.
- Delicious, right? - Delicious.
It gets really delicious.
And if you add a bit of ketchup...
In the back. Next to the entrance. A suspicious individual. Checking.
How do you like the taste?
- Zero-3, heading there now. - BG, guarding the president.
Excuse me...
Do you have an invitation?
Only authorized people are allowed inside.
I need you to leave.
Hands off me!
We're representatives of the people Okubo fired!
He can't just shut down a factory and launch a new product!
People are here to celebrate.
The people who made this product are not at fault.
Shut up! You don't know anything!
Excu... Excuse me!
- Hold right there! - Outta my way!
Excuse me.
- Well done. - Thank you very much.
The two guys from the funeral home are inside.
Yes.
Would it be possible to file a lawsuit in this situation?
Yes.
Evidence?
No...
Understood. Thank you very much.
As if we would have evidence or anything like that.
Minister Tachihara and I
have exchanged greetings when I was part of the security detail for the Minji Party,
but to receive a personal request from her?
You need personal protection?
Shouldn't you have the SP at your disposal as an active cabinet minister?
He recorded them?
For you my dear.
He won't eat it even if you put it there.
What about prep school?
Don't pick it up. It's just some weird reporter anyway.
Your dad...
He's nobody to be embarrassed about.
Yes, Murata speaking.
I'm Hinode's Takanashi. I'd like to ask you a question.
Yes?
The chief's belongings, have they been returned by the police?
Yes, his clothes and wallets were returned.
So you don't have his mobile phone and other personal belongings yet?
Yes... What about it?
We might be able to restore his honor.
President, if you could please give us your final greeting.
Thank you very much for coming today.
Our precious new product, Egg-chan.
For being able to safely unveil it to all of you,
I'm terribly grateful.
As true as I'm standing here,
when I was a poor young lad,
"I'll never give up on eating delicious food!"
...is what I pledged to the moon.
It was a full moon as round as our Egg-chan.
Allow me to use this opportunity to express my gratitude towards the moon.
Man, I'm so thankful to you guys.
Thank you very much.
I'm glad it concluded without any major disturbances.
We got the names of the people from the factory.
I'll try to talk to them and clear the misunderstanding.
Please do.
I hope the misunderstanding surrounding the late Murata-san will be solved, too.
I've seen all kinds of reports, but there's no way I can believe those.
I believe in Murata-san.
I mean, look at you.
Didn't he make a fine and reliable bodyguard out of you?
Being bodyguards is all about team play.
Alright, let's do this!
For me, I really think it turned out for the better.
Putting together a team with guys like you who are brimming with individuality...
It's more than worth it.
I'm glad to hear that.
Being told to be reliable means a lot to me.
Man, you would make a fine groom for my granddaughter.
- You mean that? - Hello Mr. Gold Digger.
Well, she's still only five years old.
Five? That won't happen in a while.
Excuse me.
You'd be the same mental age as her, though.
From Takanashi: If you're done, please come to Chief Murata's house. It's urgent, you need to hear this.
- His belongings weren't returned? - No.
This is everything that was returned by the police.
His phone...
...as well as the digital recorder are missing.
Digital recorder?
He recorded all of our jobs.
I'm sure he must have recorded on that day as well.
Causing such an uproar now...
- You should apologize and die! - Hold on, Chief Secretary!
It's wrong to let someone die in vain!
He probably...
...must have started recording before the incident.
And the police...
They stole it?
- Those bastards! - It's too early to say that for sure.
- Then why isn't it here?! - Calm down.
Your father always remained composed and encouraged the people around him.
Please.
Let's pay the MPD a visit tomorrow.
If it's his family...
You should be able to demand his personal belongings.
I understand...
Although I'm not sure I'll be up to the task...
I'll go.
I'll do it.
I'll absolutely get it back.
We won't let you go alone.
Why not?
I'll go by myself!
- My dad's already gone! - If it was your father,
he definitely wouldn't let you, a minor, go and do this by himself.
I'm begging you.
You have to keep him safe.
We will.
We have to get it back no matter what.
Don't get impatient. It's not that simple.
But if he indeed recorded the incident,
we should be able to proof that he never said anything provoking.
And I'm telling you not to get impatient.
We need to be careful.
Sorry.
You're awfully concerned about Youichi-kun.
That's not true.
This ain't a bad thing. I'm praising you here.
Even though you're a real handful.
Speak for yourself.
Let's have a drink for now. It's only water, though.
Ah, I'm sorry.
I've never told you
about why I quit the JSDF, right?
( Japan Self-Defence Force )
I was grouped with a younger comrade...
...when an accident happened.
I took care of him a lot.
He was such a coward...
Always so jumpy...
So in order for him to gain more courage,
I took him for a drill in the mountains.
That's when
an avalanche happened...
...and he got seriously injured.
He was immediately discharged.
Staying there while he can't...
It just felt wrong to me and so I quit as well.
Although it probably would have made more sense
to stay in the force and work hard for the both of us.
Then...
- That guy and Youichi-kun... - Yes.
They resemble each other, somewhat.
Remember what you told me?
As for me...
Being paired with someone who isn't afraid, that's scary.
That was the one thing in this world I've never wanted to be told.
- In this world? - Yes...
However...
I'm glad the chief...
...told me to come back here.
That's why I can't just leave...
...his matter as unsettled as it is.
Me too.
What? You guys are fighting again?
- We aren't. - I know, I know.
I got us some late-night snacks.
- Huh? Where's Sawaguchi? - I'm over here!
You're slow!
So heavy...
So... I've been thinking about it...
I won't do it after all.
The reason is simple, being the BG this time...
No, no, hold on a sec...
You won't be a bodyguard anymore?
That's not it. I won't... be quitting anymore.
- What? You were about to quit? - Sort of.
- Don't just quit on a whim! - Agreed.
Huh? Didn't you say you won't stop me?
You're awful!
Here, this is for you.
- Takanashi-san, for you. - This is mine?
Don't assume I only drink that stuff!
Although I couldn't bear to look at it for the longest time...
I'm glad we took it.
Ah, crap...
I was doing so well during the funeral...
I'll send this picture to you guys later as well.
Who are you?
There are two of you, right?
Don't forget that I'm a professional, too.
If you want to talk, come and show me your faces!
Please watch out for yourself.
This advice is coming from someone who is still clinging to this world.
Hurry up!
Why do we have to get up so early on a Sunday?
You're going back to your mom's place.
- I already called her. - Don't just decide that on your own...
How old are you again?
How about you don't forget your child's age?
I'm 13.
How strong have you become?
Come on.
That's all you got?
That hurt!
Anyway...
This time, I'll have to do something rather dangerous.
Don't you always?
I wonder where this one's heading?
Shun...
Make sure to see all kinds of places.
What's with you all of a sudden?
Some really far away places...
Some really high places...
Places so spacious you won't believe your eyes...
Cold places...
I don't like cold places.
We've arrived.
Copy that. Awaiting orders.
I'm going.
I'm the son of Murata Goro who died in the shooting the other day.
I'd like you to return my father's personal belongings...
I see... Just keep him waiting.
Where's Ochiai?
He's on guard duty for Minister Tachihara today.
Do you know these guys?
- Are they those Hinode guys? - Seems that way.
Shimazaki Akira... was it?
Yeah... It's the guy on the left.
He's here...
Thank you for waiting.
- Are you Murata-san? - Yes.
My apologies for this mistake and the late return of his belongings.
Let's go.
There it is! The digital recorder.
We cleared the first obstacle.
- I hope so... - Let's have a look.
Connecting it now.
- The recordings are still on it. - And the day of the incident?
Maybe it's on the external memory?
It got deleted?
Only the recording from that day got deleted.
No wonder they gave it to me that simply...
I had a feeling something was off...
Youichi-kun...
That's the end of the line...
There must be something else...
Stop trying to console me.
My dad will have no choice but to go down in history as a failed bodyguard!
It's just that this job requires your utmost effort.
Shimazaki-san?
Somebody sure has it in for you.
Anyway, you go and follow up with Youichi-kun.
Yes.
I'll be the one in charge on the day of the Minji Party convention.
You'll be provided four bodyguards for your protection.
I'm sorry for those four.
I've come to wonder whether I'm really someone who is worthy of protection.
Not only have I lost my soul...
All I'm thinking about is clinging to my social status.
Minister...
May I speak to you in private?
Go ahead.
The late Murata-san, he was my boss during his time in the SP.
I made a mistake...
...and he quit the MPD and became a civilian in order to protect me.
He was hoping I would reform the organization
when he left...
I've been earnestly meaning to meet his expectations,
but I couldn't change anything after all.
I'm just a guy...
...clinging to his job at the police.
Thank you...
...for confiding in me.
I've made you listen to unnecessary things. I'll send you off now.
Stop right there! Stop right there!
Excuse me...
Minister Tachihara...
Can you please go public about what happened that day?
You're the only person who can do this.
Minister, I'm begging you.
Eliminate the threat.
Minister! Just know that I won't give up!
We already got no status, no power, no weapons,
and now the only thing we got was stolen from us!
We're never going to give up!
We won't give up, ever!
Don't you worry.
I'm sure we'll find a way.
Enough already...
I'm tired.
You can wait here.
Chief Secretary, the fire is still burning after all.
I don't think it can be put out by anyone.
The truth should be made public.
I was wrong.
And so were you, Chief Secretary...
Do you understand what you're saying?
I do.
Ochiai-san,
I'll go home by myself.
But...
I'll resign from my office.
I won't be a person under the protection of the SP any longer.
I'm grateful for what you've done for me.
Thanks for everything.
Tachihara Aiko will resign from office?
I hope that woman won't get any crazy ideas.
We can't let her get in contact with Shimazaki and the rest of them.
Isn't it about time for Shimazaki Akira to disappear?
Just like that recording.
Such a joke isn't like you.
A joke...?
You told me that it's time for me to show my resolve, didn't you?
The MPD and its 40,000 people...
In order to protect such a huge organization,
you got no choice but to cross certain lines.
Isn't that what you call being resolute?
Shimazaki-san!
I will... talk.
I'll go public about what really happened.
Minister, we're counting on you.
Right.
Please fight on our side.
