I'm the granddaughter of Yuunosuke Todoroki.
We've been sending such a dangerous person's grandchild on errands?
Crap!
I was about to crack up when I said
I was backing your policies.
So, are we taking out our target
at that event as planned?
Yes, you have a green light.
Yes.
- Kyoda-san? - My parents sent too many apples again?
- A huge box? - Can I leave it inside?
Please wait a moment.
Thank you,
for using our service.
So,
what is your request?
Senkawa Kanji.
I've looked into everything about you.
I heard that
the criminal who killed Mio's mother
turned himself in with your help.
I'm also aware that my granddaughter visits your place frequently.
That girl is oblivious to the ways of the world,
and has a habit of plunging into other people's business.
But, I made a promise to Mio's mother...
...to protect Mio.
If anything were to happen to her...
Protect Mio.
As an intimidator, that's not part of my job.
Besides, there are many others who
would accept such a request.
I've already met many people.
And now here you are.
If you're so concerned, instead of just sending her money,
how about spending time with her?
Watch your tongue Intimidator!
Do you understand?
That was a threat.
Protect my grandchild!
If you don't,
You and your friends will all disappear.
The Intimidator was intimidated? How'd that happen?
If my house was broken into by a fellow burglar, I would retire.
He even threatened to make us "disappear".
That's not very cute.
Anyway, Tochiotome,
- Call Kanesaka Mio. - Got it.
Even so, he seems like a good grandfather.
If he said frankly,
"I'm worried because my grandchild won't speak to me. Please protect her."
it would've been better.
When I'm old, I definitely don't want to be that kind of grandfather.
That's weird, Mio-san's GPS seems to be offline.
Meguro.
Have you got something?
This guy...
The person who set it up, has to be in close range.
Close range...
Got it. I'll call you back.
Meguro.
She's here.
- Can you see her? - Yes, quite well.
There's lots of places, but this lab seemed best.
We can do a lot of things here.
That's good.
But don't kill her yet.
Understood.
Can I receive payment for what I've done so far?
I have different rates for spying and kidnapping.
OK.
Where's Mio-san?
Not here.
Kanesaka Mio was,
kidnapped.
From now on, I will threaten you

Episode 5
Stop!
That's him. He lived next door to Mio san.
I've searched the security footage,
- But he's rarely caught on camera. - He's a professional spy.
He's careful to avoid the cameras.
Why would a spy kidnap someone?
What kind of person is he?
Don't you know someone who's familiar with this shady business?
- Shady business? - That's right.
A person who knows everything behind shady operations, you know somebody right?
What?! Not again!
Intimidator, are you confused or something?
We're not friends.
I know that. It's just that,
there's something I really need to know.
Whatta you got in trade?
This.
A game.
A game?
If I win, you give me the information I need.
And if you lose?
I'll be at your service anytime you need.
Let's do it.
Go boss!
Shut up!
OK, your turn.
But it's getting a bit intense. Whatta you think?
This one's better.
What do you think?
Bad luck...
You tricked him! New game!
Shut up!
A man's word is his bond.
This guy is a spy.
But he'll do anything for money. From cleaning a mess to murder.
Moreover, whoever hired this guy is dangerous.
Any idea who hired him?
You'll have to beat me again.
Shit!
Well then, who hired the guy?
Nitobe.
Nitobe? The politician?
A few months ago,
he contacted me asking for surveillance work.
So you referred him to this guy?
No.
I ended all contact with Nitobe two years ago.
Why?
Why did you cut all ties with Nitobe?
Do you remember the Central Bay hotel bombing?
Yeah, Nitobe saved someone and became a hero.
But Nitobe knew about the bombing in advance.
The bomber intended to kill politicians, but Nitobe found out through his criminal connections.
No one would have died if Nitobe had reported it.
But he seized the opportunity,
to appear to be a hero.
It's unthinkable to associate with such a psychopath.
Thank you for the valuable information.
Wait.
That was exhausting.
Why did Nitobe kidnap Mio-san?
Because of grandpa Todoroki. That political fixer has only one weak point...
His granddaughter Mio.
Should we break into Nitobe's office?
No, he's probably on guard.
Maybe Nitobe wants something from Todoroki.
- So I'll break into Todoroki's place. - You don't have to do that.
Let's look for Mio.
We look forward to you opening the first day of Peaceful Week with a special talk show at 15:00 (3PM)!
We're counting on you Mr. Nitobe sir.
Of course. Will there be a large audience?
Yes! You've been getting a lot of press!
Then I'd like to set up a surprise to get people talking more.
- A surprise? - Yes.
This is my idea...
Oxygen Controls
Current Level
New Setting
- How'd it go? - Not good. We need more clues.
I tried every informant from A to Z but absolutely no luck.
Oh man!
Where's Mio-san!?
- You guys got a sec? - We're kind of busy right now.
This is for you guys.
It's from Mio-san.
She left it this morning because
none of you were here yet.
- From Mio-san? - Yup.
Dear Meguro and Tochiotome,
I truly appreciate your generosity and kindness.
Please accept this as a small token of appreciation.
Kanesaka Mio.
Hang on, what about me?
She didn't write anything.
Let's stop. I don't want to help her anymore.
Oh yeah, she left this for you.
to Senkawa san
While I was at it, I happened to make this for you.
Personally, I think the coarse sweet red bean paste has the best flavor, but
I decided to make the strained bean paste.
She thought of you after all.
The strained bean paste tastes best, no doubt about it.
Kanesaka Mio, you.
I'm going to find her and make her admit this.
Has she disappeared?
It's all right. We've got it covered.
- What happened? - Is everything OK?
None of your business. Get out, get out.
Wait! We can help.
I want to say "Starting now, I'll threaten you" too!
"Threat"? You fool, get out!
OK!
Let's review the evidence one more time.
- Yeah. - But first...
On an empty stomach, I'm like Ikushima Hiroshi.
T?N: TV/radio personality who had lost a lot of weight when partaking on RIZAP body make-over.
Shut up and eat.
Good idea.
Here you go.
1:49 PM
1:50 PM
Mio-san's not picking up.
That's weird. Should I try calling her?
Yes.
- Should I text her? - Yeah.
Restricted Area
Environmental Experiment Laboratory
You're awake?
Kyoda-san?
What's going on?
You're confused, I understand.
My name isn't really Kyoda.
And I don't like sweet things.
And I hate your red bean rice balls.
This person will explain everything in detail.
Mio-san, can you see me?
Nitobe-san.
Right now, I'm with your grandfather.
Mio!
What have you done?!
Mio-san is in a special environmental chamber.
As you would expect, the temperature, humidity,
and the oxygen level can be adjusted
to create an oxygen free environment.
A 21% oxygen level is required to survive.
But Mio's room is set at 10%.
If she doesn't receive the required oxygen
in an hour, she will lose consciousness.
She...
...may not recover.
Nitobe-san, please stop this!
What do you want?
I would like you to appear on my
talk show which starts at 15:00 (3PM).
And I would like you to die there.
First, I'll go up on stage.
Then, I'll invite you up.
I hired a professional sniper.
So, just go to the center of the stage.
You'll be in the sniper's sights...
But please don't worry.
I'll take a bullet protecting you.
When I fall, please stay as you are.
The second shot...
...will go straight through your heart.
But first this.
Your will.
Your estate will be passed onto me.
To save you the trouble, I prepared it.
Sign and seal it, and it's finished.
Your era has already come to a close.
From here onwards, I'll do a splendid job.
Your honor,
let's change this country for the better.
Mio-san, were you listening?
You don't mind, do you?
You've already cut off all ties with him.
Please stop, I'm begging you.
This is wrong.
1:59 PM
2:00 PM
Shall we go then?
Wait.
If I die,
will Mio survive?
Of course.
I wouldn't want to see Mio's corpse either.
The car is waiting at the front.
Let's hurry, your honor.
You planted the bug when you met?
Yeah.
Protect my grandchild!
If you don't, you and your friends will disappear.
It was Todoroki's place.
I didn't know what kind of info we might get.
I couldn't leave empty handed, could I?
This is bad. There's only 1 hour until Todoroki's assassination.
No...we've still got an hour.
Let's rescue Mio.
I found places with environmental labs.
- Where? - In Japan...
There's 26 labs. - And in the Tokyo area?
Nearby...
11 places.
Which ones could I go to without passing the security cameras at Mio's apartment building?
Only one place.
Hoshitoku University
Department of Environmental Agriculture
Here, Mio's University.
Let's go.
2:17 PM
2:18 PM
- So cool! - This is awesome!
Shall we go?
Your honor.
Welcome! Right this way please.
2:31 PM
2:32 PM
Meguro! This way!
Restricted Area
Open it.
Watch out!
Meguro!
So you're a stalker after all.
Wrong asshole!
- Then who are you? - I'm The Intimidator.
Meguro, hurry!
Bring it on, pervert.
I'm your opponent.
We really can't thank you enough.
That's OK.
Mr. Todoroki is eager to meet the young people here today.
Today will go down in history, wouldn't you agree?
- Meguro, seriously? - Hang on!
It's open!
Just kidding!
Handcuffs.
- It's open. - OK.
Bastard.
Mio san! Wake up Mio!
Can you hear me?
Mio! Wake up!
Senkawa san.
Breathe slowly. Slowly.
Please help.
No worries. You're OK now.
Not me.
My grandpa...
Please help him.
2:55 PM
2:56 PM
Here, here.
Please bring Mr. Todoroki here.
OK.
- Hurry and get him! - Yes.
2:59 PM
Now, it's time for the talk show you've all
3:00 PM
been waiting for.
Please welcome,
Mr. Nitobe Fumio!
- It's Nitobe! - He's so cool.
- You're very popular, Mr. Nitobe. - Thank you.
Because of your recommendation,
we have a surprise guest here today!
That's right.
Who on earth might it be?
Everyone must be excited.
And now, I'd like to welcome...
Excuse me.
Our surprise guest will join us in a moment, but today is
Mr. Nitobe's birthday!
Since it's a special day,
we've prepared this for you.
Everyone together please.
Thanks.
- Go and double check. - OK.
Dear Nitobe san!
Was this in the script?
It's in the updated script we just received.
November 18th Surprise celebration for Mr. Nitobe's birthday.
CONFIDENTIAL ! !
Happy birthday Mr. Nitobe!
It's not my birthday. Please leave.
Don't be shy.
Here, go now. Take this.
But it's your birthday!
-It's a mistake! - Today's not his birthday!
Let's go.
Don't push!
For your birthday, I'll show you some magic.
- It's not my birthday! - What?!
Today your making a fresh start in life!
Who the hell are you!?
Smile!
Get in the box.
Or else, your hit man will blow your head off.
Intimidator...
...this makes us even.
Quick! Get in, or you're dead.
- That's magic? - Really? It's super fun!
- What happened? - I don't know.
From now on, I will threaten you.
I said it.
I said it!
- Come this way. - Why? why?
Sorry.
Excuse me.
Where are we going?
What is the meaning of this?
A message from Senkawa Kanji...
I have protected Mio.
It's your turn to be threatened. Go to the hospital immediately.
If you don't, you'll regret it the rest of your life.
That's it.
Shall we?
Hurry up!
Please.
You're...
Your spy didn't tell you about me?
I'm The Intimidator.
I heard all about your plans.
Getting shot in front of a crowd.
What a show-off you are.
Moreover, holding an innocent woman hostage and limiting her oxygen.
You need to pick another hobby.
As a matter of fact, your spy-abductor person,
is in handcuffs at the lab.
Obviously, Mio's been set free.
Mr. Todoroki should be meeting her at the hospital about now.
How troublesome.
An amateur making threats.
Why are you doing this?
I want to ask you something.
The Central Bay Hotel bombing two years go...
Was that you?
Are you kidding?
You were conveniently present when a person needed saving.
Overnight you became a hero.
No matter how I look at it, you seem guilty.
It wasn't me.
I only knew it was going to happen,
so I just seized the opportunity.
You "seized the opportunity"? And people died.
It was no big deal. Instead,
a hero was born. And the nation loves him.
Nowadays, people are overwhelmed with information.
It's unclear who to trust or follow.
All the choices are the same, and the country is disappointed.
So I gave them what they needed.
A real hero!
They don't want some geezer ruling from the shadows.
Rather, a clear leader who brings justice.
To fulfill that,
a vast amount of money and power was needed.
That is why!
Why Todoroki needed to die!
Even if the citizens wanted to think for themselves,
they're just not capable.
It is for such foolish people,
I took on that role!
Don't you get it?
This is the only way to improve this country.
Did you see?
You guys saw, right?
This is all being sent to the hall.
This is...
- He's trash. - Shocking.
What you did wasn't a threat at all.
I'll show you a real threat.
Nitobe Fumio. From now on, I will threaten you.
What you did wasn't a threat at all.
I'll show you a real threat.
Nitobe Fumio. From now on, I will threaten you.
Should I shoot you in the heart,
or in the head?
Make a choice.
If you don't,
I'll shoot.
Whichever I choose, you'll still shoot me.
Wait! I can pay you!
You work for money, right? How much?
100 million?
How 'bout 200!?
Wait! Let's fake my death!
Isn't that good enough?
What do you get out of killing me?
You'll go to jail! It's meaningless!
Wait! Stop! Don't shoot!
I'm begging you, please don't kill me!
I don't want to die.
Not like this. Please don't shoot.
Please!
I'll do anything! Please!
How unfortunate.
Nitobe Fumio is already dead.
This is a toy gun.
You're in government and you don't know that?
Japan has a "Swords and Firearms Law".
Now that, was a threat.
You're safe.
Thank goodness.
What're you saying?
I'm glad that you're safe.
From now on,
I'm going to spend more time with you.
Because you're my family.
So, I'll stop sending you money.
Grandpa.
Tochiotome-san told me that
I had been asleep for a while after that.
Soon after,
Nitobe-san was arrested.
My neighbor Kyoda-san suddenly disappeared.
And...
Hey! Where are my strained bean cakes?
- Mmm? - Tochiotome,
- This red bean soup is exquisite, isn't it? - Yes.
Red bean soup?
Leftover strained red bean paste cakes
are what make the soup delicious!
- Why'd you use my cakes without permission? - Didn't think we needed it.
Meguro! Tochiotome!
From now on, I'll be threatening you both!
Give me some red bean soup!
- If we don't? - If you don't...
If we don't?
If you don't...
I'll pout!
That was delicious!
