I'm Makino from Yanagimachikita Police Station.
I came here to ask you something...
...about your husband who died three years ago.
There's nothing I want to talk with the police.
My father was also an employee from Takato Construction.
With the same situation...
...as your husband, Shingo Ikehara,
my father too...
...had fell from the building under construction...
...and died at that time.
The police...
...concluded that it was an accident or suicide.
I am now...
...working together with...
... Souichiro Natsume-san, former Unit One Investigation Division's Head.
Hiyori Makino noticed the connection between his father and Souichiro Natsume.
She also contacted Misa Ikehara.
What about Aritsugu Date?
He hasn't moved yet.
It would be bothersome if Hiyori Makino is involved further with this matter.
Let's move from here.
This is to protect the organization. Do anything.
I'll deal with this.
(Forensic Investigation's Romantic Instructor, Masato Toudou)
Thus,
if human pheromones can be detected scientifically,
it can help in identifying criminals...
...just like fingerprints and DNA.
In particular,
it should be...
...very effective in investigating infidelity.
Oh, it's convenient. But doesn't pheromone stops to produce as get older?
According to my hypothesis, the older you are,
the more concentrated the pheromones are.
In other words,
the older a woman is,
the more attractive she is in the eyes of men.
Is that for real!?
Evidence that this hypothesis is correct has just been proven...
...in this event.
Gosh!~
I wonder if we still have it.
- I learned a lot from the lecture today. - Thank you.
- Sensei, it was good that I came today here. - Thank you very much.
- I hope that you will teach us again. - Certainly. Anytime.
Toudou-san, you're really popular!~
I guess one-third of them are single.
Everyone still wants to fall in love.
Japanese society is aging...
It's quite erotic.
What's this?
Don't you think it's like an invitation?
Oh my god! I'll bring the equipment home.
So Toudou-san, go and meet her.
Sousuke-kun, I'm sorry...
But I'll give you a big tip later.
Nice!
Have a good time!
Really?
Then, is your mother a freelance journalist?
Yes.
That's how you hear about Maison De Police and decided to visit here.
- Yes. - Thanks for coming here.
We, uncles here, are allies of justice, right?
- Yes. - Here. - Thank you.
Natsume-san, don't serve green tea to children.
- She is not an old woman. - I'm sorry.
I like drinking tea.
You are very nice. Matched with Hina-arare, right?
- Please try those. - Thank you.
You are Momoka Tatebayashi, right? What's your purpose in coming here?
Come on. Talk a little more gently to her.
I'm not used to talking with children.
Come on, smile. You have to smile in front of the children.
Pervert!
You scared her.
- Natsume, open the door - Yes.
Can you tell us where you came from?
My grandfather was a victim of voice phishing.
I want you to find the culprit.
This is a big problem~
- Tell us what happened. - These uncles will help your Grandpa.
- This was at the front door. - We're talking about something important now.
I don't know who left this. There's nothing written on it.
- What's that? - I feel uncomfortable.
Could it be... a bomb?
- It may be very dangerous. - Momoka-chan, come here.
Hey, wait. Natsume...
- Stop the recorder. - Okay.
Wait...
Stay here.
Natsume...
A phone?
(Incoming video call, withheld number)
Hello?
Show your face to the smartphone.
I kidnapped Masato Toudou.
Eh?
- Masato Toudou. The one who lives with us here? - What the heck are you saying?
Look the message from the red cellphone.
That's impossible! I can't stand to see blood!
Momoka-chan.
Hide here first...
He is still alive.
What's your motive?
100 million yen.
100 million?
He is not that valuable.
The delivery time is 5 o'clock this evening.
Oi! Wait a minute, only 30 minutes left.
If you can't prepare it, there's no guarantee that Toudou will be alive.
Don't be silly! That's not the way to negotiate this!
You're a former police officer.
If you waste your time, he will die.
Who are you?
I'm someone who belongs to a certain organization.
Organization?
This is me.
I think you all know me.
(Maison De Police)
(Episode 8, 30 Minutes) Put the black smartphone in a place where the whole living room can be seen.
Use the tripod that's also in the box.
Everyone, give up your mobile phones.
Turn those off and place those in front of the phone with tripod.
Disconnect the phone line while shooting with the red smartphone.
Hurry. There's no time to waste.
I have now turned off all means of communication with the outside.
Put the red smartphone next to the black one.
Monitor yourself with that video phone.
Don't get out of the camera's shooting range.
If you make strange actions, I'll kill Toudou.
How about going to the toilet?
You're allowed only for one minute.
But you are prohibited from leaving the house.
My friend who put the parcel at the front door is guarding outside.
- Do you want us to be stuck here? - You must be crazy.
That will make us in trouble.
If we cannot contact the people outside,
we cannot prepare the 100 million yen.
Take it from inside the house.
Do you have 100 million yen?
Not in cash.
What do you mean?
There is something worth 100 million yen.
There is nothing worthwhile here. Even artworks and jewelries.
Think again. There's no much time.
But we don't know it at all...
Oi. How can we be sure that Toudou-san is safe?
Answer us!
I'll show you again the previous photo.
What will we do with Momoka-chan?
It's dangerous to go outside.
Um ... Can I have some tea?
It is better to drink tea to make myself calm, right?
I will go to the kitchen for a moment.
Only for one minute. Hurry!
Momoka-chan, you don't have to worry about anything. Just stay here.
- Are you all right? - We're just fine.
All great detectives were gathered there.
- Okay. - Then, eat this.
Okay. I returned within one minute.
How are we going to hand over 100 million to you?
What is your real motive?
If you have a grudge from us,
why don't you just come here?
Did he really came?
- Is that your partner? - Wrong! Just ignore it!
Now...
What shall we do?
They must not interfere on what we're doing now.
Take him or her right here while shooting with a red smartphone.
Natsume, you go alone.
It's an honor... that you know my name.
Makino...
Why can't you open the door?
What's with that smartphone?
- Come to the living room. - W-W- Wait a minute!
I came to talk about important things today.
Misa-san... Why is she here?
I went here to see the investigation materials three years ago.
I am with Misa-san...
...and decided to follow-up the Takato Construction case.
Natsume-kun, hurry up! It will be over a minute!
Anyways, get in. A person's life is in danger!
Huh? Hiyori-san, who's this person?
I'm Misa Ikehara.
Why roughly dragged us inside?
Both of you, take out your phones.
What is it?
Turn off your phones and have them place where the others are gathered.
Just listen to what was said.
My friend was kidnapped.
- Toudou-san... - The culprit is now monitoring us with that camera.
Communication with the outside is prohibited.
Why is it so...?
Hurry up!
Or else, Toudou will die.
Who are these women?
This is... Hiyori Makino-san.
She is... our friend.
And... this is...
...Misa Ikehara-san.
She is acquainted with Natsume-kun.
Do you know me?
Yes.
What are those numbers on the phone?
Toudou-san will be killed if 100 million is not prepared by 5 o'clock.
- There's not much time left. - We know that.
- What is this here? - I'm sorry. We're caught up with this thing.
- What is the culprit's motive? - Bring something worth 100 million yen from this house.
There is no such thing, though.
Not objects,
but information.
Information?
Information that is worth with that amount.
Give me the money and Toudou will be saved.
- What information? - Do you know such things...?
I don't know.
Natsume-san and Date-San, how about the two of you?
Do you have something you've thought of?
The culprit doesn't know about her so, just shut up.
Who is that girl?
Momoka-chan.
Her grandfather was scammed, so she came here for help, but instead was involved.
Why at such this time...
Information? That doesn't help us. Enough already!
It's hot!
- Are you okay? Ice! - It's hot!
Don't move on your own!
Return in 1 minute.
Get fast!
- May you lend it to us? We want to contact the police. - But...
- ...the contacts available are only my Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma. - Nothing for police?
Is there an emergency button?
I don't understand.
- Then, ask your mother to contact the police. - Explain that the situation here is time consuming.
Don't. I know where Toudou is held.
Eh?
I saw a high-rise apartment in the window behind.
It's a place about 500 meters northeast from the tower apartment in Komazawa.
You are great, Sakota-san.
- Even though you're presbyopic...? - Just do it, hurry!
I will borrow this.
- Hello... Momoka-chan? - What happened?
I'm sorry, but I'm Makino from Yanagimachikita Police Station.
Police!?
What happened to Momoka?
Nothing happened. Momoka is safe here.
Well.. I want you to cooperate with us.
Eh?
Kidnapping?
Okay...
Is it on Komazawa?
I'm just near on that place.
Yes.
I understood.
I will call the police soon.
Please do my favor.
Sorry for the bother.
It might not be on time, but I have to know the identity of the other party.
Where did Toudou-san went today? - He had a lecture somewhere in Setagaya City.
- He might be abducted there. - You know who is present?
He received the documents from the city office.
It's already one minute! Go back!
Oi. You...
Date-san, I'm sorry...
- Thank you for cleaning the rest - What are you going to do?
Fire!
- There's a fire! Fire! - Sakota-san, the fire extinguisher!
Okay.
Oi... What are you doing!?
Will this be fine?
What are you guys doing? The time has already passed.
Oi! What are you going to do?
Did you hear that? Answer us!
What information do you want?
Oh Momoka-chan, you must not come out.
- A call came. - From your mom?
No...
Hello...
It's me.
Why do you have Momoko-chan's phone number..?
Mama!
What did you do?
You broke the promise. You have reported it to the police.
This woman said she was near here and was worried, so she waited until the police arrived.
That person doesn't matter.
It's useless!
She will replace Toudou.
Replace her?
What sound is that?
- Toudou-san...! - Did you shoot him?
Masato Toudou is dead.
Next is your mother.
- You have 4 minutes left. - Mama!
Okay. I heard everything you said.
What should we do!?
Give me the documents.
Document?
Those data which are related to the Takato Construction case.
Takato Construction...
...made Natsume-kun to quit being a police officer...
There should be evidence in the house that will tell the truth of this case.
You can take it on the camera.
That information constitute a big money.
- Is there something like that? Do you know the truth behind the death of my husband?
- Please, I'm begging you. - Mama!
3 minutes left.
Everyone, do you really not know anything about Takato Construction case?
Please save my Mama!
I'll look for it.
Oi...
It's no good looking for it!
What's here?
It's me.
The one who was involved in Takato Construction...
...is me.
Everyone has nothing to do with this.
I will bring the documents.
(Takato Construction)
It has been collected by me after all this time.
(Takato Construction hid a series of employees' deaths)
(Accident or suicide?)
This is all I know...
...about this case.
Don't be silly!
It's not police investigations but magazines and newspaper articles.
There should be more to those.
Are you hiding something else?
Please tell us.
Unfortunately...
...this is all I have.
Your mother will be killed.
Stop it! Mom...!
Date-san...!
I swear...
...I have nothing else.
If you doubt, what if you come here directly and find it out?
Makoto Tatebayashi-san...
- What are you saying? - Makoto Tatebayashi-san...
Is that you, right?
I already know you.
They told me earlier.
This is a fake kidnapping, right?
When you and Misa-san came,
Baron's barking was heard from that smartphone.
It turned out that the culprit who is using a voice changer was just near.
The culprit said that he shot Toudou in Komazawa himself,
but the fact is he's just lying around somewhere.
I saw the participants list of Toudou-san's lecture.
Because the form must be sent from the city office, you certainly can't use a fake name.
Here…
There was a name of Makoto Tatebayashi.
(Makoto Tatebayashi)
It's your mother, right?
I was aware that there was a freelance journalist who was following-up Takato Construction case.
They were great at covering up this case, so I remember it very well.
I remember it well.
The initials are...
MT.
Makoto Tatebayashi.
You are the one who wrote this article, right?
It's okay, Momoka.
I'm sorry. I asked you to cooperate with me...
Mama...
Momoka's mother,
isn't this an outrageous joke?
You have tried to trick us and make up a false story,
- This is nothing more than extortion and confinement. - Please wait.
- Makoto Tatebayashi-san is not a criminal. - Ah! I know.
The criminal knew the structure of this house.
I can't think that Toudou-san pretended to be dead just to cooperate with a stranger.
The person who knows us well is the leader of this case.
You are the culprit,
Makino.
Do you really think you can fool us?
Don't be silly!
We are too great for you.
Misa Ikehara-san...
You were also working with them, right?
Mama!
Hiyori-san.
What do you mean by this? Speak out to me.
Hiyori-san.
What do you mean by this? Speak out to me.
2 weeks ago,
I went to see Misa-san.
So...
...we talked about the Takato Construction case.
There are people who wants to meet you, Makino-san.
Makoto Tatebayashi-san, a freelance journalist, was introduced to me.
Makoto-san was following-up the incident of Takato Construction...
...and she interviewed Misa-san several times.
Who is this Yuzuru Ichinozawa?
Ichinozawa-san is the chief accounting head of Takato Construction.
He's my husband's direct supervisor.
Ichinozawa-san...
...was found dead in the river...
...in February three years ago.
At first, I thought Natsume-san knew the truth behind this case.
At first,
I suspected that Natsume-san knew the...
...facts of this case.
But,
you don't know it.
There is someone...
...who was involved in Takato construction deeply.
An easy job?
Yuzuru Ichinozawa-san and Shingo Ikehara-san's...
...cases were both closed as accident or suicide.
You mean, they hid their deaths from the news...
...to protect comfortable jobs of those retired police officers?
Is it true that the police did it?
Every year, Takato Construction gives more than 10 comfortable jobs for retirees.
This number...
...exceeds more compared to other construction companies.
I'm sure Takato Construction has a dark secret...
...and uses police power to hide it.
(Aritsugu Date, Deputy Commissioner, MPD)
Date-san...
20 years ago,
when my father died,
Date-san became the police chief of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Station.
It's the position that can make decisions on all criminal cases
After that,
you became the Aichi Prefectural Police Chief,
then the Chief of the MPD Security Bureau,
and the MPD Deputy Commissioner.
After retiring,
You worked at Takato Construction as an external director.
It can be easily imagined that inferred that...
...you had a close relationship with them.
Moreover,
Natsume-san, who quit in the police...
...due to the Takato Construction case,
was called to this share house.
Date-san...
...knew about their secret,
and the truth...
...behind my father's death and...
...Misa-san's husband too.
I made this plan...
...to figure it all out.
What about Toudou-san's photo?
After the lecture,
Makoto-san asked to talk with him.
We asked him to help us make an April Fool's joke.
I left a few hints outside the window,
so that you can identify the location.
What's wrong with you?
Stop kidding us! Oi!
Hiyoko...
You...
You, as a police officer...
- ...should be ready to pay the consequences! To hear the truth from Date-san,
I thought that I could only do this.
I came here with the intention...
...to know the truth.
But,
there's another way to do this.
We don't have time.
Misa-san...
I...
...was told by the doctor that I could not live long.
Before I die,
I want to know the truth that my husband died...
That's why, Hiyori-san made a lot of unreasonable things.
Date-san...
Why did you go work with Takato Construction?
Did you help protect them...
...by doing something that makes you feel guilty?
You know the real reason why Shingo Ikehara and my father were killed, right?
I'm begging you.
Please tell me!
When I was the police chief,
I heard of a suspicious death at the construction site on Takato Construction.
The man who died...
...was Naoto Makino.
It's your father, Hiyori.
However,
Because there was not enough evidence,
there was no other way but to close the case as accident.
However,
I have always been concerned about the incident.
To find out the truth about this incident,
I went down...
...to work at Takato construction.
But,
after retiring in 2 years,
I still didn't understand anything.
- I can't believe that. - Makino...
If so,
why don't you let me see the contents of the closet a while ago?
Did you hide something there?
Not only Date-san,
but is it really something that everyone needs to hide?
I'm thinking of giving Hiyori this one...
Other than Takahira, we had no daughter.
We used our pocket money to buy that.
Even I paid that.
But I'm glad we revealed it now.
After all, you're all women.
When I called Natsume-kun here,
he might be able to find the truth of that case.
Because I thought he could do it.
Date-san...
Hiyori-san... you too...
I called you here because I thought...
...you could also solved this, same with Natsume-kun.
I thought that,
someday, this team can reveal...
...Takato Construction's dark secret.
Will you help us uncover the truth?
Hiyori Makino-san.
I don't understand it.
What should I do?
Because...
...the first time I met you,
you were the one who told me to suspect everyone, right?!
(Resignation Letter)
Wait... What do you want?
Shh! It's okay. I won't do anything.
Sousuke-san...
Right!
Please go out with me.
So, you are Hiyori Makino.
What an annoying expression.
You should be afraid.
Who are you?
I'm your colleague.
Police...?
Do you know that there's a department who conducts internal investigation of the police organization?
Sousuke-san...
No way...
I'm an MPD personnel, Division One...
...Sousuke Segawa.
Human Resources Division One...
Police for police, also known as Provos.
This is the Inspector General of Human Resources Division One.
I work under the Inspector General.
- Why? - To investigate the relationship between Takato Construction and the police,
I do undercover investigations at Aritsugu Date-san's house.
Did you...
- ...monitor them, all this time? - Right.
I'm also listening to them.
Have you seen them all the time...
...longer than me?
I have been doing it for two years.
Sousuke-san,
what do you think?
Those people...
Do you think they have relation to the Takato construction case?
Of course, I doubt it.
Especially former Deputy Commissioner Aritsugu Date,
and former Head of Division One, Souichiro Natsume.
I also suspect others.
and you too,
Sergeant Makino.
We will reveal them all.
So, don't get involved furthermore.
However,
- I... - I know about your father.
We investigated the secrets...
...behind police units and large companies.
Who cares...
...about the personal feelings...
...of the rookie police officer?
Besides,
our existence is confidential.
As a police officer,
you know what that means.
(Yanagimachikita Police Station)
What happened to you?
Saya-chan...
Someone, come here fast!
I want to see you before I die, Saya-chan.
Get up! Don't die!
Surprise...!
I haven't felt your love like that for a long time.
What? What's wrong with you? Damn it! Just plunge into the lake!
Wait a minute.
- I came to see Hiyoko. Is she here? - She's on leave. Is there something wrong with her?
She seems to have a problem,
so I'm worried for her.
- Really? - Sugioka! What's wrong?!
What are you doing here? How did you enter?
I hide behind someone's jacket.
- Let's catch him! - Yes, Sir!
- We'll detain you! - This is just fake blood.
Sakota-san, do you know,
...about Takato Construction...
...or why was Hiyoko invited here?
I don't know.
Considering this is Date-san's idea,
I'm sure he has a good reason.
We bought it for her.
I understand.
So, she already knows.
I doubt that...
...Hiyoko-chan will come back.
(Naoto Makino)
I don't believe you.
I was told by the doctor that I could not live long.
I don't understand it. What should I do?
You were the one who told me to suspect everyone, right?!
You want to investigate the cause of your father's death, right?
My father never really taught me anything.
It's okay. Now you learn a lot from us.
I hope you work with me together. Anyways, I'm this team's... leader.
You are the suspect targeted by our Chief from the start.
Don't act alone without our permission.
Hiyoko-chan, good job.
Good job.
Maybe, my promise meant nothing to him.
Don't be silly!
I'll leave it to you, Toudou-san.
It's the right attitude.
How do you know it, Takahira-san?
Any experienced detective knows it.
This is Hiyoko team's first case.
No matter how hard I try,
I can never be as great as anyone here.
Of course, not. The burden they bear is different.
I'm sure you and Natsume-kun feel the same way.
So, I asked you to come here.
I thought that, someday, this team can reveal Takato Construction's dark secret.
You want to be a great detective, right?
Sousuke-san,
I know you're listening to me right now.
I'm...
...a police officer.
Therefore,
I will never tell them, about you and the Provos.
I will keep it...
...as a secret.
However,
I'm also a leader of Maison De Police.
So,
I have to trust my colleagues.
Together with them,
I vowed to find out the truth of this case.
So she declared a war.
Good morning.
Hiyoko-san?
I'm sorry... about the commotion I caused yesterday.
I am really, really sorry.
As an apology, I bring Hina-arare.
This is today's snack.
Can we enjoy this...
...while we have... the investigation meeting?
An investigation meeting?
Together with this team,
I decided to investigate the Takako Construction case.
Anyone objects?
Anyone...?
- No! - None at all!
Okay!
[ PREVIEW ] He is the mastermind.
He's the main boss!
The authorities will easily destroy you, Hiyoko.
I have a team that can be trusted.
Kazuko-san... Are you alright?
You committed the same crime as with Souichiro Natsume-san.
I swear, I will find the truth.
