Of the 6 people, we've found 3 of their bodies so far.
Results from the DNA expert say...
...all are identified to be from the series of missing girls incident 24 years ago.
What about Yukari. Was Yukari among them?
No. We haven't found her yet.
Although it may be a hasty opinion, the police are...
...assuming that all the bones of the girls were buried there.
You can't say that!
I didn't expect that Macchan had such a thing... (Match with ones from series of missing girls incident, Search for the remaining missing girls continues)
(Murata Yukari was headed for school at the time of disappearance, Mother was the last to see her)
This is why...
...Macchan started it.
Punishers of darkness.
But even more so than this...
...she did it to prevent others from having to feel the same sadness that she went through.
Wonder if there's something we can do?
Macchan has always helped me.
Me, too. Without Macchan, I'd be...
Better to leave it alone.
Masako-san must have some reason...
...why she chose not to say anything.
- I'll be going ahead. - But to leave it alone is...
JUST STAY OUT OF IT!
Sorry about that. I'm going ahead.
Yukari...
For me, there's no "statute of limitations."
How many times have I told you that I don't know anything?!
I don't want to see a police man! Go away~!
I have resigned from the police force.
With the case of Yukari-san, I don't think it's over.
24 years ago...
I was an underling...
I couldn't do anything.
However...
The missing girls incident had always been on my mind.
The thought of knowing who the culprit is had been nagging me.
I found out that under the pressure of a certain person, the investigation was called off.
Who was it?
(The breath of a new era: What's happening in Japan now)
"Former Chief Cabinet Secretary Takizaki"?
"Son of Mr. Takizaki... Takizaki Tetsuhiko"
"In the 1st year of Heisei (1989) he was assigned to the Metropolitan Police Dept. Investigation Division..."
"Currently transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
In the US, such a thing will be required.
Protecting Japan. Protecting the lives of people.
That is all I'm thinking about.
Oh man...
Macchan's not coming. Sensei's gone away...
Yeah~...
A royal guest has arrived~...!
Ah! Sh-Shudo-san!
Oh, uh... you're mistaken! It's our day-off today, our day-off!
Hachimaki.
Yes! Yes!
I need your guys' help
- Takizaki's office? - Right now, he's been loaned out to Foreign Affairs...
Originally, he's a career bureaucrat at the Police Agency.
Could it be that guy is the culprit?
Yeah... probably.
His father was the former Chief Cabinet Secretary.
At the time when I was in Division 1, I knew that the son...
...had most likely hid his crime.
Looking back now, the investigations were forestalled, it was a tricky business.
The locations of the disappearances were in two jurisdictions...
You mean, there was a territorial dispute among the police?
Yeah. Not only that...
There was information that went around such as slandering the victims.
What is this? How cruel. (Cause of disappearance unknown, trouble with mom?)
Both place complete blame on the people closest to the victims. (Missing girl suspected of running away...)
Both place complete blame on the people closest to the victims. (...Girl: past history of protective custody)
And also... this clasp.
Only those in Division 1 has a special badge like this.
How come you have it?
I picked it up from a scene.
I wasn't convinced that the investigation was aborted...
So I investigated it on my own.
If we lose our Division 1 badge... we must report the loss of an article.
(24 years ago, MPD Investigation Division 1)
Same goes for clasps. (24 years ago, MPD Investigation Division 1)
That's why...
I looked into the reports of lost articles.
But only the page "L-24" was pulled out.
Don't tell me it was destruction of evidence?
Probably.
But...
...there was only one thing I remember during that time.
"Oh, thanks."
"I lost the bottom of my clasp."
It was Takizaki.
Then, in order to prove that Takizaki is the culprit...
...we should find this L-24, right?
Shudo-san...
Come on, don't keep secrets from me.
I'm your partner, aren't I?
Ichinose.
All right~!
Four ikemen have joined forces.
Look out. We're gonna go for the attack!
- For Macchan, too. Right? - For her, too. Right?
(Ministry of Foreign Affairs)
Tell me.
- Who are you? - I want to talk, just us two.
If you don't tell me, I'm gonna stab you with this!
Fine.
You can't kill a person with this.
Please! I beg you!
Us parents are wondering what happened to our daughters.
We want to know the truth! Please! Please...
Tell me about my daughter, Murata Yukari.
Everyone loved her...
...wanted to be more like her... that is (the sentiment) that's attached to the name Murata Yukari.
Please tell me, tell me!
- Please tell me... - Oh, I'm sorry.
It's just that, ma'am...
It seems that you have somehow mistaken me for the culprit but...
I am not the one.
Tell me. Please? Tell me!
Please tell me! Tell me~!!
Tell me~!
Is my Yukari still alive?
Yeah, I want you to investigate them.
Yeah. They're possibly terrorists.
And then, I want an increase in security.
Saori.
Yes... the housekeeper has already gone out.
Will look for L24 now.
There and there, too.
Of course.
Just for a quick moment. Sorry~.
Yesss.
Long time, no see, Shudo-san.
Since I'm retiring this month, I thought to visit and say hello, Takizaki-san.
"When I get inside, call Takizaki on the phone to lure him out of the room."
"And with that chance, you'll be looking for the L24."
"Right?"
Please.
You and I were surely...
Yes. We were together in several joint investigations.
Ah~ yeah seemed so.
Thanks for coming all the way to see me.
Oh right.
When I was in Division 1, I got a letter from Yamazaki-san.
Please go ahead and answer it.
Don't mind it.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Man, why isn't he answering?
If so, I won't be able to lure him out into the hallway.
Hang on a second.
Smooth sailing so far. I'm in my element today.
Is this that guy's room?
The heck is this!
- What is it, mama? - It seems...
...the security company had contacted the housekeeper.
She was told that the phone line has been disconnected.
My goodness, why did you get yourself busted?
Eh~!
She's seriously coming back? (Note: He made a pun about "overbite")
Um, excuse me!
I'll be under your guidance starting today.
I am Mitasawa, the housekeeper. (Note: A parody of "Mita, the Housekeeper", drama)
The master told me to come here at 1 pm.
I see. I'm in a bit of a hurry.
Oh, first, allow me to make my greetings.
- Looking forward to working with you. - Looking forward to working with you.
- Ah~!- Just a minute... - Sorry but I'm in a hurry...
Round, round, round we go...
Good luck on your second stage in life.
- You have my support. - Yes.
- Is there something else? - Uh, no.
Then...
You're still quite young here.
That's the picture when I became a policeman.
It's to make me remember my original purpose.
Is that so? It's a good way to remember it.
You, too, shouldn't forget your original purpose.
What in the world were you doing before the shop even opened?
- It's been found. L-24. - L-24?
It's a notification of loss. Shudo-san found it.
That fella Ichinose used his quick wit...
...and sounded the fire alarm.
It was the chance to get him out of the room in a hurry.
Apparently, it was hidden inside a picture frame.
But why did he purposely leave this there?
- It's a game for him. - Game?
To be found or not to be found...
He seems to be enjoying the thrill of a narrow escape.
Actually, I, too found something strange inside his room.
- Something strange? - French dolls.
You see, usually those kinds of dolls are blonde, right?
However, those dolls have black hair.
It bothered me so I gave some to Shudo-san to examine it. Also...
It could be that it came from the victims of the missing girls incident.
What do you mean? Then...
The dolls' hair were made from the victims' hair?
That guy seemed to have taken it as a souvenir.
- Wait, Macchan! - Macchan!
Call for a "Tenchu". Then we'll start moving.
- He's right! - We can't...
...let a guy like him get his own way!
Shudo-san said, that guy will be at a press conference tomorrow.
Seems he'll be leaving Japan 3 days from now. Heard he got a new job in Switzerland.
- Macchan, it's now or never. - That's right, Macchan!
Fine.
Then, on the 15th, the day after tomorrow--
Macchan.
- Macchan. - Oh, Pecchan.
- Macchan. - Chicchan.
Um...
We saw the news, and heard about it... We got worried.
- Um, about Yukari-chan... - Macchan.
Whatever the outcome is, we'll always be with you.
Don't forget it, okay?
Don't forget, okay?
Here...
It's Hida beef! Hida beef!
You love meats, right?
Oh, this one, too.
It's a very rare sake.
Sana!
Please take care of Macchan, okay?
We are The Three Granny Geese.
We shouldn't be one person less.
It isn't "three geese"...
There's Sana, so it must be The Four Geese.
- Hang in there! - Yeah!
- Bear with it! - It'll be fine, it'll be fine.
That's not all~.
- Hida beef! Hida beef! - Wow!
- Amazing! - A5.
- A5? - It's Grade A5 beef.
They say the best meat is A5.
There's plenty for seconds. Just eat to your heart's content, okay?
Let's dig in~!
- Oh, so big! - What's the matter, Kyoko-san?
You have no appetite?
I didn't put poison in it. Come on, eat.
Well in that case I'll eat a whole pot!
- You can't have the whole thing! - You got the biggest one!
Oh, you... that was as big as an egg.
- Eh? - Mm!
It's the best!
I'm so happy I got married into the Murata family!
I'll just go to the toilet for a bit.
- Don't eat it all. - I'm gonna eat it all~!
No, don't you dare!
- It's really delicious. - Dear, add some more meat.
So yummy~!
Been a long time since I laughed with everyone.
You will not regret this.
"On the 15th, the day after tomorrow..."
Why are you putting me here!
Hey, open this door! What're you doing, Sana!
Sana!
- You're not going. - Not going?
What nonsense are you saying? This is my problem!
This has nothing to do with you! Come on, open this door!
Yukari may be my little sister.
What?
My name is...
...Sen.
I'm a Shinobi.
- I came from the past, a long time ago. - Sen?
Shinobi? What nonsense are you saying?
You can't travel through time from the Warring States Period...
What nonsense is that!
What do you mean when you said, Yukari is your sister?
She has the same face as Yu.
Yu, my sister...
Yu?
She was my only blood relative.
Our parents were killed...
...by bandits.
They were killed in front of me.
Bandits...
The scar on your back...
I was wounded during that time.
That's why I couldn't forget.
From then on, it has always...
...always been the two of us.
We survived...
...by asking for food, while wandering about.
We were picked up by a Shinobi.
In order to survive, I did anything for them.
Even if I am told to kill people.
What happened to your little sister?
"Just go..."
"Don't mind me..."
"No! What're you saying, Yu!"
"As long as we're alive, we'll meet again."
"Yu~!"
When I came to, I was here.
All alone.
I had no reason to live.
But then...
I met you.
You were so warm to me...
I'm...
...not a person who belongs here.
- That's why... - What nonsense are you saying?
That's why... I...
...will be the one to kill him.
Nooo~!
No, don't do it, Sana!
- Don't worry. - Sana!
I will end it all.
Don't do it, Sana!
Sana, no! Don't go!
Stay with me!
Stay here...
Sana...
Stay...
Sana!
If you chose to kill...
I will not let you pass beyond this point.
Get out of my way!!
Let me go!
I killed a woman a long time ago.
Someone that I loved.
My girlfriend... Her parents were murdered.
She took revenge against the criminals.
And killed them.
She committed suicide... a few days later.
"No matter how many times I take revenge, I won't be able to save them"...
She was still suffering when she died.
Still trapped in her own hatred.
That's why, you...
...our precious friend...
...we will not let you go through the same thing.
Please.
Don't go, Sana.
SANAAA~!
Grandma~! Can I have soy sauce?
"Help me."
"Who's there?"
What is this?
Uwah! Grandma? Eh?
- Kanako? - What happened?
"...took place at the end of last week..."
"...joint meeting on international counter-terrorism between Japan and the United States..."
Takizaki Tetsuhiko... is still alive.
- Where's Sana? - I didn't see her.
(Ministry of Foreign Affairs)
I'm sure it's in the car...
Where's my file case...
Who're you?
You're that old lady's...
- What do you want? - That incident--
The hell should I know~!
Did you come here to kill me, too?
Did you even think I wouldn't know?
Hey! This is one of those terrorists!
Let go~!
Take care of her.
First stage cleared!
SP! SP! (Security Police)
SP!
How many people did you kill?
You killed Yukari, too.
I won't forgive you. I won't forgive you.
I won't forgive you. I won't forgive you. I won't forgive you. I won't forgive you.
I will kill you!
SANA~!!
Don't kill him!
It's not worth to be a murderer for that guy!
For Yukari's sake.
You have to listen to me and let him live!!!
Game!!
Game! Game!
Game?
There are two types of people in this world.
Those who have worth and those who are worthless.
When a worthless person gets killed...
....nobody cares, right! Nobody cares if an insect gets trampled on!
What are you saying!
But... the funny thing was...
...the moment when you snatch them away.
When you tell each girl, "I'm a cop", they'd feel suddenly at ease.
You crazy fool!
What do you think of a person's life?
- Life is precious! - Look...
People who have value in this world.
In other words, he who has the power rules.
And any other people are just pawns to be used and then...
...ended~!
Right? Right?!
How much do you think I paid to have those girls killed?
- Killed? - ¥200,000.
- ¥200,000...? - Each girl was ¥200,000!
Don't say that! Don't say it, don't say it!
It's amazing, isn't it!
In this world, you can have a person killed for just 200,000.
How pathetic, just pathetic.
- Stop it! Stop saying that... - Just pathetic!
I won't get caught.
And I won't get killed. Because...!
I have the power.
Sana, don't! Sana don't!
- Sana, no... - Second stage...!
...begins!
5, 4, 3...
2, 1...
Start!
Sana!
You left this behind.
Times like this, we're comrades til the end.
Sensei!
Us, two.
Guys!
Hachi.
Mitsuko.
Sensei.
Sana.
TENCHUU~!
Aye.
Start! Start!
Macchan, over here.
Hey, hey, Kamaitachi*, I mean, you guys... (*Comedy duo)
It's the end of the line for ya!
5 seconds...1 second til launch!
- Sweet dreams! - Hurry! Hurry!
Yeah!
Sana!
Sana.
Are you alright?
"~Pim pom pom pom~"
"Here is the news bulletin."
N-News bulletin?
We have obtained the audio tape of the culprit behind the series of missing girls incident.
Everyone, please clear your ears and listen carefully.
"But... the funny thing was the moment when you snatch them away."
"When you tell each girl, 'I'm a cop', they'd feel suddenly at ease."
Hey, isn't that Chief Takizaki's voice?
"How much do you think I paid to have those girls killed?"
"¥200,000."
"Each girl was ¥200,000!... ¥200,000!"
¥200,000? What does that mean?
Don't tell me, the culprit behind the missing girls incident...
...was Takizaki?! Hey, he's still in here...
Come on, let's move! Hurry!
Can't we decorate his mug for tomorrow?
Oh, by "mug", I mean his face, his face.
No need to do it, Hachi.
No, this is different.
The resentment of his victims will take care of him.
No... This can't be...
...this can't be....
My life... My life...
...such a thing...
Who... Who on earth would do such a thing.
It's you guys!
You allies of justice wannabes or something!
For me, there is no such thing...
...as justice.
I do the work for one rice ball.
That is all.
Bowing down to people like you...
If it's something like that...
I'll... I'll take my own life.
Just kidding~!
I won't let you off easily!
Live... while having a taste of hell!
What?
The suffering you have inflicted on your victims...
The mark of grief on the families...
RECEIVE THEM ALL~!!
TENCHUUUU~!!
Game over.
(Ministry of Foreign Affairs)
Oh, there he is!
We are at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs...
A word please about the series of missing girl incidents...
- Is it true that you killed them? - Please tell us the truth!
- Takizaki-san! - Takizaki-san! Please answer!
Takizaki-san, please come with us, we have some questions to ask you.
(Former police bureaucrat ordered the killings, Accomplices are being investigated)
Sana! (Former police bureaucrat ordered the killings, Accomplices are being investigated)
Sana-chan, it's time to eat.
Sana?
Sana--
Sana.
Are you thinking of leaving?
There's no need to do such a thing.
It doesn't matter what time or place you came from.
The most important thing is you're alive, isn't it?
Right?
A person cannot live alone.
You have friends.
You were able to make some friends, weren't you?
Who are your friends?
Sensei.
Sensei is first, huh?
Second?
Mitsuko.
Next?
Hachi.
- You. - Yeah.
These are your friends.
Where your friends are is the place where you belong.
Sana!
I'm going to live!
No matter how painful or hard, I'm going to live.
I'll believe in whatever fragment of hope and I'll live. I will live, I'll show them.
If you're alive, it's surely a good thing.
Even you may see your sister some day.
Fate can be changed.
Fate can be changed!
That's why you must live. To live is to change your destiny!
Stay with me. It's good if you are here.
Let's dig in.
Answer it.
Where's Murata-san?
- Ichinose. - I'm coming in.
Sorry to disturb you!
- Murata-san. - I'm busy.
About your daughter, Yukari-san...
Only her bones weren't found.
Takizaki, too said he only ordered 5 girls killed.
And those dolls' hair, it seemed none of them belonged to Yukari-san.
Maybe... Maybe Yukari-san...
...might be alive.
Sana, see?
It's a good thing to be alive, isn't it?
- Please sit. - No... I'm still working...
It's alright. Just tea, have some tea.
- Thank you. - Let's eat.
- Are you single? - Yes.
- I'm still single. - Oh, still single, huh.
Nice morning, isn't it? Okay, off you go.
My dear Kanako. See you later.
I'm going now, Grandma!
Takero, take care!
The one in gray. Please leave from these premises.
- ~Get out, Get out~ - I'm hearing the voice...
...of a dried and wrinkled persimmon somewhere! - Get out~ Get out~!
- Get out~ Get out~ - You're annoying the neighbors, Mother.
I'm friends with the neighbors!
- Royal guest has arr-- - I'm back!
Sayuda, what's with you? Where have you been?
- Jungle. - Jungle?
- I brought souvenirs! - Souvenirs? What is it?
- Come in! - Macho, macho...
What is this? They're dripping in muscles!
Oshikura Macho, osarete*... (*Oshikura Manju = children's game)
- Drool. - Oshikura Macho, osarete...
- Oyaji (dad). - Oshikura Macho...
Now, everyone... as a token of my gratitude...
I will be doing the One-Man Koshien*! (*Baseball tournament)
He throws... and it's a hit!
The shortstop has lost sight of the ball!
First base, don't throw it! Second base! Third base! It's impossible!
Goodbye, it's a home run~!
Come from behind victory!
Thank you so much!
You're the best, Jack!
Thank chu!
I'm sorry about the other day.
I'm sure Sis wanted to you to be happy.
That's why I think you should already forget about her.
I AM happy.
Because... she...
...lives inside of me.
Just now...
Somehow, I feel that my sister had smiled.
"Betrayal, deception, lies..."
"As long as there are people in this world, evil is all around."
"Because people's greed are simply evil's true nature."
"But if justice were to defeat this evil..."
"If such a thing were to exist in this world..."
"It would be completely different than what we imagine."
"Perhaps they would only be small, humble acts."
"Her name is Sana."
"A female Shinobi, who was toyed by fate..."
Sana! Time to EAATTTTT~!!!
Come back hoooome~!
"But now... she is..."
"...no longer alone."
Aye.
=The End= ~Thank you for watching~
