[They made an official declaration. Their next target is
the head of the police force, the National Public Safety Commission Chairman.]
[Does the Black Moon still have that kind of power?]
[12 kg bomb discovered.]
[I'll take care of this myself.]
[Did you have her transferred?]
[Why did you make her take the responsibility?]
[I knew you'd come.]
[That you'd find me no matter what.]
What do you think? Pretty good, huh?
Give me a break.
We're supposed to be guarding the prime minister at this Summit.
If you keep that up, you're going to end up shooting the prime minister.
Am I hopeless after all?
Listen. If you don't learn to shoot properly,
as your partner, I'm the one who's going to get into troub... Watch it.
The above is the cooperation requested by the Security Department
from the Special Crime Incident Response Team.
In addition to the prominent scientists, leaders of many nations world-wide
will be arriving in Japan in full force to attend this World Summit for Environment
to be held on June 30th.
The Incident Response Team will take all possible measures
to ensure that there are no oversights
in the security at the airport and the venue.
Thank you.
It's been reported that an environmental group
known for its radical activities may try to obstruct the Summit.
-I'm putting my faith in you to do well. -I know.
So she's coming back...finally.
Freeze!
No! I said no!
-Okay. -What the heck is this?
I promised my boss.
You know, the Summit. He asked me if we couldn't do something amusing
so I said I'll have the SP wear this.
Are you stupid? Or are you? That's why you won't go any further than a secretary.
I worked on this plan for 3 months.
-Don't. Hey. -Okay. That should do it.
Pull it down more. Wear it that day. Okay?
Hey. Did you come just for this?
A politician's secretary is busy. Bye now.
What was that? I can't believe... Wait! It won't come off. Help me.
-Hurry. -What a delightful duo.
That's not the point right. Hey, do it right.
Okay, got it. See you then.
What? Something good happen?
Kinda. He he he.
"He he he," she says. That's cute. I'm gonna copy it.
You proposed?! Isn't it too soon?
What are you saying? Doesn't kiss equal marriage?
How can you say that with a straight face?
Even the oldest kindergartners are more sophisticated.
-And in front of her father too. -Seriously?
Her father clammed up with a glum look
and didn't say anything for 2 whole hours.
Your expression's so stiff. Talk about getting carried away.
What. You mean it wasn't me?
-So you actually thought it was you. -Well, anyway, you did good.
Kudos to your courage. Yeah, never mind that it failed.
Yamamura Party is proud of you.
-It's my turn next. -Huh?
I finally made up my mind. I'm going to propose to Rika-san.
Are you serious?!
Pops. That Rika-Rin
-looked like she was in a real good mood. -What?
-You don't say, maybe she's waiting for...
-Yamamura-san's proposal. -What?!
Anticipation of love. It's possible.
-Yama-Mu, it's coming. -You think it is? To me?
It's coming. It's obviously closer than last week.
My time has finally caught up with me!
What are you rambling on and on about?
-Kimoto! -Mami-Rin?!
There's no time to be standing around idly. There's been an incident.
That's my line. There's been an incident.
-I missed you Mami-Rin. -Are you
-all well now? -So-so.
-Hey, hey, why are you back here? -Glad to see you again.
Have an onigiri.
Kimoto's been reassigned to the Incident Response Team effective today.
Reassigned? I'll explain later.
For now, let me give you a summary of the incident we'll be pursuing.
The victim is Touyama Shinji-san. 55 years old. Commodities Division Chief of Towa Shouji.
He was killed by an explosive set up by someone on the rooftop of his condo.
Touyama-san's hobby was jogging, but
even then, we don't know how this happened.
This treadmill didn't belong to Touyama-san either.
The crime lab is inspecting the explosive right now.
One week ago, Finance Division Chief of Yokoyama Bussan, Edano Yoshizou-san, 51 years old,
was killed by an explosive while taking a walk in the park.
The explosives are believed to be the same, and there's a possibility they could be serial murders.
But that's not all.
This case
may be related to the reason I had Kimoto go to Niijima.
-What do you mean? -You had her go?
-Didn't you have her transferred out? -She was investigating for you?
The story goes back 2 years ago
to Chairman Kurohara's shooting incident.
[So that bomb was a decoy.]
[By preventing Kimoto-san from securing the building,
the sniper was able to take his time shooting.]
[Boss.]
[The fake bomb had a complex electrical wiring scheme].
[In the first place, would a terrorist organization
go to the trouble of setting up such an elaborate trap?]
[You're right. This isn't the Black Moon's doing.]
As we expected, if we were to assume that the Black Moon
was responsible for the shooting of Chairman Kurohara,
other inconsistencies surfaced in addition to the bomb.
You mean a different group targeted the chairman?
Then what about Takakura's escape?
We haven't figured that out yet.
So in order to investigate who actually targeted the chairman,
I took Kimoto off the Incident Response Team temporarily, and sent her to Niijima.
We couldn't dismiss the possibility that someone within the MPD
targeted Chairman Kurohara, who was pushing for the eradication of slush funds.
Why Niijima Police Station?
It's this.
This is the classified document concerning the slush funds that I told you about in my e-mail.
Niijima Police Station was the only one that wasn't on the slush fund list.
Boss correctly guessed that, conversely, that must mean there's something there.
-Did you see the content? -It's written in a highly
advanced code using Yakolev's theory. It hasn't been decrypted yet.
-We can't use Kurohara Rika. -I agree.
It may contain information concerning the shooting of her father.
I'll try to decrypt it.
That aside, I did some research on people who died away from home,
what you'd call found dead on the street, in the past few months.
Men who died in Kanagawa and Saitama.
They're considered unidentified homeless men, but
take a good look at their face.
They look just like the executives of the Black Moon.
So you're saying that the executives are being made to
look like the homeless and getting killed?
I don't know. Only that the two current murder cases...
10 years ago Towa Shouji and Yokoyama Bussan were
targeted by the Black Moon in the serial corporation bombing case.
-As I recall... -one person died.
There's a possibility that the Black Moon may be involved in these two cases too.
Kimoto, continue your investigation on these homeless who died.
-Yes. -I'll let the prefectural police know.
And this disk. I'll safeguard it with utmost care.
But why would anyone go to the trouble of
setting up a bomb under a treadmill?
Could it be that
the detonator was activated when he got on and started running,
and it was set up to explode when he stepped off?
Explode when he stepped off?
Meaning he had to keep on running?
In other words, Touyama-san was threatened and
forced to run on the treadmill rigged with a bomb,
and when his energy was spent, he died from the explosion.
The treadmill of death, huh?
But why here of all places?
He was hanging from this tree and
when he fell, the bomb under his feet exploded
But it would be impossible to climb up there.
Ouch, ouch. Ouch. What?
Ow. Huh? Stand up.
-Stand up. Hurry. -I can't see. I can't see.
Clock?
Approximate age is 20's to mid-30's. Cause of death is heart failure.
Is there any possibility of any other cause of death?
I did think it was a bit strange. Since he's still young too.
In spite of an intemperate lifestyle, his other organs looked good.
But you know, anyone can die suddenly. Besides, an administrative autopsy was also performed.
These are his belongings.
May I inspect them?
Yes.
There's quite a bit of traffic here.
Did you check the license plate of this car?
I asked Headquarters to check on it. By the way, Katagiri-san.
You haven't disclosed your identity to her yet, have you?
What's your occupation supposed to be?
-I said Yotsubishi Shouji without really thinking. -Isn't that laying it on a bit too thick!
Yes. Oh. There was a match? Yes.
"Fujimori Toshio" Yes.
Got it.
Is something wrong?
There was a common palm print on the belongings of the homeless who died suspiciously.
If there's a matching palm print in the MPD's database...
It's Takakura Ryuhei.
Takakura's back.
Does this mean Takakura killed the executives?
-We can't say that for sure yet. -Any connection to the two cases?
Don't know yet. I'm having Kimoto continue the investigation on that.
-What about you guys? -We made inquiries at their companies,
but neither Touyama-san nor Edano-san has a very good reputation.
They're both go-getters, but to achieve cost cutting goals,
they directed some ruthless lay-offs.
But that's only natural considering they're both loaned employees from their companies' business bank.
-Bank? Which one? -Matsuba Bank.
That's not the only thing the two have in common.
They were both at the Shizuoka Branch at the same time a year ago.
Shizuoka. We might find something there.
There were marks
left by a stun gun on the two victims' neck.
That made them unconscious, and as they awakened, they were forced
to go on the treadmill and the tree. Let's find out where the stun gun came from.
Also, the criminal who made this apparatus
is definitely quite a technician.
Look. A clock is visible from both crime scenes.
Running endlessly on a treadmill. Hanging from a tree.
To see a clock right in front of you would be even more torturous.
-That would be most cruel. -It may be some kind of message.
-They keyword here is clock. -Yamamura-san
confirm if the victims worked on any business deals involving clocks.
Tadokoro will analyze the belongings. Iwai, gather material evidence.
Katagiri and Hanagata, go make inquiries in the area around the scenes.
Go.
-Katagiri, what's the matter? -It's nothing.
Come to think of it, Kaede-chan's father's from Shizuoka too, isn't he?
Why is he in Tokyo?
He operates a factory and I understand he's attending a meeting.
Mami-Rin, you've been busy investigating, huh?
I totally misunderstood and thought you were transferred out.
There's a lot of blabbermouths around here.
-By the way, I'm sorry. -Huh?
I'm gonna propose to Kurohara-san.
-You know her, right? The 20-year-old. -Yeah.
So I'm sorry, Mami-Rin.
The period of 2 years was just too long for us to overcome.
See you.
-Why is he making it sound like I've been dumped. -Kimoto.
No, really, I don't mind from the bottom of my heart. About that fava bean.
No, about this case. Do you think the Black Moon is involved?
No, I don't know yet.
For example, could they be pretending to be ordinary people
and making contact to get information from us?
No, never mind.
Can we inspect Chief Touyama's
-client list? -Certainly.
This way please.
We're looking for customers who recently bought stun guns here.
Can we take a look at the video from your surveillance camera?
-Certainly. -Thank you.
About the explosion incident that happened 1 week ago,
did you see any suspicious individual around here?
1 week ago?
Neither company was working on deals involving clocks.
We got the information regarding the time they were at Matsuba Bank Shizuoka Branch
from Shizuoka Prefectural Police thanks to Nodate-san.
Don't worry about it.
You got prettier, Mami-Rin.
-Go on. -Edano-san was the Chief of Loan Department
and Touyama-san was the Assistant Branch Manager. They were both aggressive go-getters.
Because of their tight lending practice and withdrawal of credit,
all these companies were driven to bankruptcy
or went out of business.
Are there any companies among them that deal with clocks?
There are three.
They must bear quite a grudge. Let's see if we can talk to the people involved.
Also, right before the explosion,
a woman jogging near the park
passed by a suspicious man wearing a baseball cap.
[So you're saying you couldn't see the face very well because of the cap?]
-[Yes.] -[Anything else you noticed?]
[Oh, that's right.]
-[I smelled sulfur.] -[Sulfur?]
Sulfur?
-Oh, go ahead. -No, you go ahead.
-It's okay. You go first... -No, I'm...
-I don't care who, just say it. -Then I'll start.
Normally, it's not unusual for explosives to smell of sulfur, but
this is a plastic bomb.
It should only have a slight characteristic bad odor
of 2-Ethylhexanol at the most.
-Anything else? -Skin believed to be that of the
perpetrator was found in Touyama-san's fingernail.
He probably resisted and scratched the perpetrator
when he was forced to go on the treadmill.
We're having the DNA analyzed right now.
In regards to the stun gun, we borrowed the list of buyers
and video from the surveillance camera from the major military shops.
Get Kurohara to analyze them.
-Did you find anything, Katagiri? -I'm sorry. Nothing in particular.
How can you come back empty-handed. Go check out these three companies with Hanagata.
Okay, go.
The president of Mishima Precision Instruments has passed away.
We're still checking on Fujimori Instruments.
Is this the current address of the former president of Kuwahara Industries?
What?
-Cirrhosis of the liver? -Yes.
He was transferred from another hospital, but frankly...
-He's in the terminal stage. -That's right.
Alright. Thank you.
I'll do the rest. I have to make a stop.
Huh?
Working on a report is a pain.
I'm surprised you get to take time off so suddenly.
Yeah.
I was glad the other day.
Where's your father today?
He's at the hotel. Why?
Just wondering.
It's a business hotel, but he's still worried about the money.
You know, his is a small business so we don't have much money.
At first, I was going to give up college and find a job, but
Dad told me to go.
He told me it's my life. He pushed me into it.
But he had a tough time when I was accepted and
it was time for me to leave for Tokyo.
He said he was going to take me to the train station but...
-[Thanks.] -[Yeah.]
[I'm going then.]
[Kaede. Shall I take you to the next station?]
We ended up going seven stations further.
Isn't that funny?
But he seems to have taken a liking to Taku-chan.
Huh?
He said he'd like have a man-to-man drink with you soon.
Is she waiting?
But I have to overcome her father...
Come here! Yama-Mu.
-Huh? -Hurry up and come here.
Hurry up and come here... Rika-Rin. Rika-Rin. I promise
-I'll make you happy. -It's done.
The list of people who bought stun guns in the past 3 months.
Huh? Oh, this.
This is Katagiri-kun's...
Yama-Mu told me.
We picked up the people who bought stun guns in the past 3 months
from the video of surveillance cameras in the military shops.
When I took a look at the file,
he was at the park where Edano-san was killed too in a rental car.
-About this... -Where's Boss?
Are you serious about her?
Yes.
If her father is somehow involved in this case...
or rather, if her father should get a criminal record,
you won't be able to marry her unless you give up being a detective.
That's the police. Unfair as it may be.
I want you to continue being a detective.
We're starting the investigation meeting!
We know that Fujimori Toshio definitely
bought a stun gun.
Fujimori Instruments had dealings with a factory that handles gunpowder.
We're checking to see if any theft was reported.
It shouldn't be too hard for a technician
to make an explosive.
But all we have is circumstantial evidence so far. No conclusive evidence.
The suspect is my girlfriend's father.
I'll approach him.
I haven't told him that I'm a detective yet.
I think I'm the one who can approach him most naturally.
I'll meet with him and gather information.
-Bankrupt? -Yes.
A year ago. I haven't even told my daughter yet.
My daughter took after my late wife and worries a lot.
I'm afraid she may consider dropping out of college.
But I intend to tell her after this.
Even if my daughter starts acting rashly,
you would stop her, wouldn't you Katagiri-san?
Yes.
If you're with her, I'd be relieved.
Oh, please.
It was what you'd call the bank's withdrawal of credit.
Still, us small businesses got together
and tried to hang in there, but
we couldn't make it.
Knowing that your check will bounce tomorrow, there's nothing more
frightening to a business owner than watching the clock tick away.
The hands on the clock starts
to look just like blades coming straight at you.
Only those who experienced it can understand that feeling.
-I see. -Among the group, there were
those who fell ill or committed suicide.
That's what frustrates me more than anything.
I'm sorry for rambling on about this.
-That's alright. -But
I won't be a burden to you.
I have enough saved up to at least support myself.
So please don't worry about me.
Katagiri-san.
Please take care of my daughter.
So all these businesses that went bankrupt were
associates who grew together.
Here.
It's Fujimori Toshio's.
I believe you can get the DNA from the saliva on this.
Let's get a warrant.
I see. Alright.
The DNA from the skin found in the victim's nail matched.
-Checked out? -Yes. He suddenly checked out a little while ago.
-He escaped. -Got it.
Do you think he's planning to go somewhere far away?
If he is, there's one stop he's going to make for sure.
What a surprise. What's up?
So you guys had a good time last night, huh? Dad looked happy when he was telling me about it.
Where's your dad today?
It's sudden, but he says he's going back to Shizuoka.
He said he had something to tell me before he left,
so we're meeting at that cafe over there at 3.
-Would it be okay if I go too? -Huh?
-I'd like to pay my respects. -Yes, of course.
I'm sure Dad will be happy too. Shall we go then?
Even at a time like this, I have to work on my report. Makes me mad.
Oh, that's right.
I found this the other day. Here.
May I open it?
I always thought it would look good on you.
-I think it'll look good on you. -Thanks.
When I'm done with my exams, let's go somewhere.
Ah~. My shoulders are stiff.
Ah~. Done.
Thanks.
Mister, can you speed up a bit?
He's late.
Taku-chan, I'm sorry.
Dad won't be coming here.
Taku-chan, you're a detective, aren't you?
I heard from Dad.
I'm sorry.
It was a dirty trick, but I had to let Dad...
Fujimori Kaede-san?
I'm Osawa from MPD Special Crime Incident Response Team.
You father...
Fujimori Toshio was captured by investigators.
Fujimori Toshio?
Kuwahara Takeo?
I'm afraid your father, Fujimori Toshio-san,
assisted the murderer in the two murder cases.
The real mastermind is your father's comrade,
former president Kuwahara of Kuwahara Industries, whose
company was also driven to bankruptcy by Matsuba Bank.
A suspicious man wearing a baseball cap
was witnessed near the park where the crime occurred.
The eyewitness said he smelled like sulfur.
In case of severe liver impairment,
the body may emanate the smell of sulfur.
The perpetrator most likely has a severe liver disease.
His days are probably numbered.
That's how Kuwahara came into the picture.
He wanted to make those guys, who made him this way, experience the same thing.
That fear of being pressed to get a loan, being pressed for time.
But his physical condition was not good.
So when your father who was his business associate
was asked, he ended up helping him.
[We're here, Take-chan.]
[I can take it from here. You go.]
[You don't have anything to do with this.]
For a while, your father was a murder suspect too.
But Kuwahara's DNA we got from the hospital and
the DNA of the skin found in the victim's fingernail matched.
He didn't do anything wrong. He just drove me there.
-He didn't do anything! -Take-chan. That's enough.
We thought of every possibility based on the assumption
that your father told you about the crime
and about Katagiri being a detective, and I made the decision.
-[Detective?] -[Yeah.]
[I got a call from Take-chan.]
[That a detective named Katagiri came to the hospital.]
It turned out just as we expected.
You e-mailed your father from here a little while ago, didn't you?
That the police was guarding the train stations, to escape by bus.
Each keyboard key has a high frequency sound.
We analyzed that and took the liberty of reading your e-mail.
Even if he just assisted, if he's involved in the incidents,
we can't allow your father to get away.
Kaede-san, will you come with us and tell us your story?
So you knew. That I was lying.
Did you think I was going to help Dad get away from the beginning?
You didn't trust me?
Kaede.
If they had succeeded in escaping, both of them would have been charged with a more serious crime.
Katagiri wanted to protect you.
You did good.
I'm a detective after all.
-It must be hard for Katagiri-san. -Yeah.
Pops, Rika-Rin just went out with a big smile on her face.
Alright! I'm gonna make up for him! I'll take revenge!
How quickly his attitude changes.
Rika-Rin! Rika-Rin! Rika...
Rika-Rin! Rika-Rin! Rika-Rin!
Dad!
Why are you here? I was gonna go to the hospital.
That's okay. Let's go
eat something good again.
By the way, who's that? That thinning guy,
-is he someone you know? -Nope. Let's go.
-Okay. -Why's he saying "Rika-Rin, Rika-Rin"...
So these bombing incidents weren't related to the Black Moon after all.
But why did Takakura kill off the leaders?
A body whose face was smashed and
arm amputated was found in Toshima-ku.
He was shot. The rifling mark on that bullet
was the same as that used previously by the Black Moon.
I'll investigate immediately.
Takakura may be targeting the Summit.
Let's take another look at our security strategy.
Have the members of the Incident Response Team come in tomorrow.
-Black Moon? -Takakura's a vicious criminal.
He won't think twice about killing a police officer.
Pops. I tell you, you drank too much.
-Rika-chan. -You stink!
Do you have anything like DNA data?
Yes.
What?
This palm print of Takakura. The angle of the fingers are all same.
-Angle? -Surely, it can't be...
Huh?
Yes.
Pops, we're here. It's my place.
Give me a break, will ya.
Ah~. Come on, sober up!
-Please don't attack me. -Who'd attack you! Idiot.
It's quite late now, isn't it.
I don't understand how you can't hit the target even after this practicing so much.
I know. Am I hopeless?
When a living person leaves a palm print, the angle of the fingers should be different every time.
There's a possibility that these were left by an amputated arm.
Amputated?
Hello.
The DNA matched.
This body
is Takakura.
Katagiri Takuma.
You're under arrest for violation of the Stimulants Control Act.
Come on. Walk properly.
What is that?
What did you say? Takakura was murdered too?
Someone's taking advantage of the Black Moon.
Who's the mastermind?
-Osawa, it's from the Office of Inspector General. -Inspector General?
You're under arrest on suspicion of embezzlement.
The Black Moon, huh? I wonder what
tricks they have up their sleeves this time.
Good job.
