They look so happy.
Right.
Together with Hana and the kids.
Spending the holiday leisurely with family members.
I'd like to have a family just like that.
- Really? - Yes.
Can I really get married?
Probably not.
A thief...
is a bad thing, isn't it?
That's right.
Stealing is a bad thing.
So, Hana.
The day where stealing...
changes the way the world operates will come.
I will convince my family.
So...
Please seriously consider our marriage.
Kazu.
Why is that so?
Why are you a police officer?
Give up on the girl.
Nice to meet you. My name is Mikumo Hana.
Indeed, she is trained.
So Hana's boyfriend is a police officer?
I'm sorry.
We won't be able to realize your dream...
to have a normal family.
There's my dad, my mom,
my grandma...
and my brother.
My whole family survives by stealing.
Let's get going.
Careful planning and fearless action.
Super thieves who leave no trace behind.
Just like the well-known gentleman thief,
Arsène Lupin.
They seem to have appeared again.
Inokuma said he was attacked by someone in a fancy costume.
Was it the L clan?
Wait.
You're so annoying!
Do you want to die?
I need to confirm something with you.
This is the statement of the criminal from yesterday.
He said he was defeated by this lady.
In the end,
my family would still be apprehended...
by my beloved.
Can you tell me the truth?
Hana.
I'm sorry.
So you lied to me.
I see.
My mom claimed you were the one who took the perpetrator down.
Naturally, I accepted it as the truth.
It's Ms. Hana, right?
- What? - When I collapsed,
I think I heard her voice.
Don't hit women.
A despicable man like you...
deserves to be in jail.
It's definitely her.
There was no one else.
When your mom passed out, another criminal came in.
In the midst of the confusion, he hit his own head...
and collapsed.
That man is the champion of underground boxing.
Even if you know aikido, you wouldn't be able to take him down.
No...
This woman dressed in such an outrageous outfit...
is part of the L clan that I'm currently pursuing.
- Pursuing? - Yes.
Ouch.
I just need to catch her...
and I'll be promoted to the First Division.
I'll be able to marry you.
Hana, did you see this woman?
- I didn't. - I see.
Where could she have gone?
I'm sorry.
She's right here.
I was so close to catching the L clan.
Wait a bit longer, Hana.
I'm going to catch them soon.
Sure.
- I'm back. - You're finally home.
Please don't, dear.
Think about it again.
I will still end up with the same conclusion.
I've decided.
What is it?
Kazuma.
I do not agree with you marrying Hana.
- Why? - You're going to marry this girl.
- Who is this? - Ms. Hashimoto Emili.
She's 27 years old.
She comes from a family of elite police officers.
She's the granddaughter of the former superintendent.
She's also a graduate from Tokyo University's law department.
A proper young lady.
Even so, why should I marry her?
It was a recommendation from the higher-ups.
We probably can't turn it down.
- What? - My superior did recommend her.
But he wasn't the one who picked you.
Ms. Emili did.
I don't care who picked me. I'm not interested.
I'm marrying Hana.
Right, dear.
Hana is a brave and capable woman.
Even if it's from your superior,
- accepting it without first... - Don't misunderstand me.
I'm doing this for Kazuma's sake.
How so?
Ms. Emili is the granddaughter of the former superintendent.
Do you know what that means?
What?
If you turn down this arranged marriage and embarrass Ms. Emili,
your future as a police officer will be jeopardized.
While you're in law enforcement,
you'll remain as a nobody until the day you retire.
If you refuse, forget about getting into First Division.
There is no way for you to marry Hana.
How adorable.
You're making a lunchbox with such focus.
She doesn't have to waste so much effort.
Just say it...
and I'll help bring back some luxurious lunchboxes.
I didn't say anything solely due to that reason.
Anyway, what are you doing?
Can't you tell?
I'm making takoyaki.
Suzuki from the 49th floor put this on the balcony.
I collected it because they no longer use it.
This high-grade octopus from Akashi...
was collected from the Ounos from the 39th floor.
So, when are you and Kazuma getting married?
I don't know.
It depends on his side.
- Our family is... - Our family is fine with it.
He's cute, but he has a dependable side.
He needs to familiarize himself with L clan's way of life.
There's no way Kazuma will become a thief.
Also,
I'll never be a thief again.
So adamant.
Maybe she wants to make takoyaki together.
Probably just pre-wedding depression.
What am I going to do?
Kazuma.
Just go to the arranged date.
Even you are pushing me too.
It's not like that.
An arranged date doesn't mean you have to get married.
Ms. Emili only needs to say no to you.
It will be okay.
Before this, all the girls who were interested in you...
all ended up changing their minds, right?
Too serious, too honest.
They called you boring.
Meet her and have a talk.
Ms. Emili will surely get sick of you.
Just go on the date...
and get rejected.
I see.
That's one of the solutions.
Thank you, Mom.
I will go on the date.
Kazuma.
Why were you born into a family of police officers?
Why was I born into the L clan?
Treasure found.
Is he the target this time?
Yes.
A conman who recently made a huge sum of money.
He used the cash to buy huge amounts of gold...
and hide them.
Darn it.
My body involuntarily reacts when I hear the word "gold".
Be patient. I will calm you down.
That's a piece of cake.
Just use the gold block as your pillow.
How frustrating!
Why was I born into such a family?
God, I'm begging you.
Please let me be reborn into a normal family.
(Daughter of Lupin: Episode 4)
Excuse me.
Kazuma.
- Thanks for waiting. - Not at all.
(The Five Stages Before Marriage You Need to Know)
- This is the book. - Thanks.
You're welcome. Are you getting married?
Yes.
I gave up once because I didn't think it would work.
But I met an honest and dependable man.
I'm happy for you.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
It's a little embarrassing to get married at this age.
If you put it like that...
I'm about the same.
You?
I'm still not married at this age.
You look like you have a boyfriend.
I do.
Then why are you not married yet?
Sorry, I shouldn't intrude.
No, it's okay.
I just hope I'll be able to get married one day.
You'll be fine.
Even I am getting married,
so I'm sure you will too.
Thank you.
I wish you happiness.
Thank you.
I'm aware.
Superintendent General Hashimoto was the one who headed...
the high profile serial killer case that rocked the nation.
- Sakuraba. - Yes.
No need to be so formal.
No, no. It's only right.
It's truly an honor to meet you.
Due to my work,
my wife has been the one looking after our daughter.
That's not the main reason though.
But when she said she wanted to meet with Kazuma,
I thought I should make it happen.
May I ask how she knows about my son?
I think it's from a Metropolitan Police Department internal report.
Am I right, Emili?
Well then, we'll leave the two youngsters alone.
I'll leave it to you.
- Kazuma. - All right.
- So... - Don't look at me.
Sorry?
Being stared at by the opposite gender...
makes me unable to speak.
I'm sorry.
We'll talk while not looking at each other then.
What do you usually like to do?
I mostly just stay at home.
I see...
- Any hobbies? - No.
Is that so?
So...
Do you like dolls?
Picking chestnuts.
Haiku.
This arranged date...
shows that we're meant for each other.
- Please don't look at me. - Sorry.
Do you want to go outside?
Matchmaking?
Mr. Maki?
Yes, Junichi is my cousin.
I see.
- Mr. Maki is my superior. - I know.
- I see. - Right.
It's boring being with me, right?
Everyone always says that I'm so uninteresting.
At least, for me...
Sorry?
I don't think so at all.
I don't agree.
Writing haikus is your hobby, right?
Amazing.
Thank you.
Let's go.
Hana.
Welcome back.
I will not be singing today.
Hana's boyfriend
Is not a policeman
Is he a marriage conman?
How is that even...
- What? - Well, should I continue the song?
Your joke is pissing me off.
You should be pissed at your boyfriend.
After all, he's meeting another girl...
while in a relationship with you.
Meeting another girl?
The girl is working in the First Division.
This must be a joke.
I wouldn't crack a joke that is hurtful to you.
If you wish to keep an eye on them, I'll be glad to help.
I trust Kazuma.
Really?
Forget it then.
Good girl.
- Kazuma, great work. - What?
- You did well. - What is it?
Ms. Emili said she'd like to date Kazuma...
with the intention to marry.
- What? - You must be kidding.
Despite not having a fun date, it wasn't terrible.
Even if you're going to decide for me...
What did you do, Kazuma?
Nothing. I was just being myself.
Be yourself? Then why did she fall for you?
I don't know.
She said she'd like to write haikus together.
Anyway, the date has been decided.
We're going to meet and have tea at 12pm tomorrow.
Hey, you should prepare a good one.
Don't make decisions for me.
This concerns your career as a policeman.
I'm counting on you.
Misako, get me a beer.
- So it turned out this way. - I'm sorry.
I went on the arranged date without an intention to marry.
When I heard that you were meeting Emili,
I thought it was unusual.
I'm really sorry.
This is going to be a problem.
Emili seems to like you a lot.
I will tell her myself.
Sorry for the trouble.
No, not at all.
Regarding Emili...
If you marry her,
you'll be related to each other.
She must have written a haiku for you, right?
- Yes. - Sorry for the trouble.
Not at all.
Will they really come here?
Yes, I'm sure of it.
I heard they'll be meeting at 12pm.
It's a smart move...
to place this thing inside her room.
It's not as intricate as Wataru's,
but it did the job.
Welcome.
- Two people. - This way.
Please.
Don't look at me.
Oh, right.
I'll sit next to you and we'll talk that way.
Why is he sitting next to her when they're not a couple?
Does he want to be near her so badly?
Such a shameless duo.
Master, two cups of coffee.
- He's in the way. - The Americano here is awesome.
- I'd like a blend. - So...
I'm sorry.
Actually, I...
already have a girlfriend I wish to marry.
I'm sorry. That's why...
I'm not able to date you.
Writing haikus together?
I can't do that either.
What was that about? I got so annoyed.
I can't hear them at all.
Hana.
Put this in your ear and wait for me.
I'm really sorry.
I came here today to tell you this.
Thanks for waiting.
Enjoy.
Do you really like her?
Yes.
Since the first time we met,
I fell hard.
So hard that I could hardly believe it myself.
What is he saying?
- Kazuma. - Even if...
it is not an accepted relationship,
I am still seriously considering marriage.
No. What about us?
Please discard everything.
Was everything a lie?
I'm being selfish, aren't I?
But my feelings won't change.
That's selfish.
Hana.
- Hana... - I understand.
I will talk to my dad.
I'm sorry.
I'll get going.
I'm just like you.
Be it the opposite or same gender,
they all said I'm boring to be with.
- Is that so? - Don't look at me.
Sorry.
That's why...
I'm only able to express myself...
through the usage of haiku.
I have a favor to ask.
What is it?
Can you be my friend?
I hope to have an opportunity to change myself.
I want to be able to talk to the opposite gender.
Please.
I understand.
If that's the case.
Thank you.
In return,
I'll say I'm the one who turned you down.
Sorry about that.
- And thank you. - Don't look at me.
Sorry.
I'll take my leave.
See you.
See you next time.
See you.
(Unicorn No.1)
Hana.
You must be sad.
How about a song?
Stop it.
Is it your boyfriend?
He's calling you now after his lovely date?
What a disloyal jerk.
- Don't answer it. Hang up. - Hello.
Hana.
What is it?
Sorry, are you busy?
No, you're probably the one who's busy.
I'm not busy.
What were you doing just now?
I was working, of course.
Why are you asking such a question?
Why did I ask?
Does that put you in a tough spot?
Not really.
I see. Never mind then.
Hana.
Good, Hana.
That's how you break his heart for good.
- I'm home. - Hana.
Something has happened.
What?
This. The TV.
The Metropolitan Police Department has stated that...
according to the sketch...
provided by the witness,
this is the appearance of one of the members...
who is said to be violent.
- It shouldn't be a problem, right? - Indeed.
For those who know, it's obvious.
Don't worry.
Nobody would be able to tell from that.
But you should still lay low for a bit, Hana.
Dear, please hurry and bring me my gold.
You'll get your wish very soon.
Let's go and get that scammer.
Scammer?
Is everything okay?
What's the matter?
I've been scammed.
How so?
I've become a victim of an international love scammer.
One day, while checking out a social media platform,
an unknown foreigner contacted me.
A foreigner?
An international love conman...
normally pretends to be a soldier or engineer.
Why?
Such professions mean it's hard to meet even if you want to.
You will fall even deeper because of loneliness.
After the first contact,
they will start giving you romantic words...
and make you fall in love with them.
If I had wings,
I'd fly to Japan right now to see you.
You're saying silly stuff again.
I mean every word I say.
I love you, Tomoko.
Me too.
I love you, William.
That's terrible!
What comes next is even more terrible.
Once the target falls for it, they proceed with the last step.
I've been gravely injured while carrying out a mission.
Are you okay, William?
I'm okay. But I need immediate surgery.
Otherwise, my right leg will have to be amputated.
That's terrible. Please do the surgery right away.
I wish I could, but I don't have the money for it.
How much do you need?
I'll pay for it.
Isn't that illogical?
How could a wounded person still chat online?
Plus, he's a soldier.
He shouldn't have to pay for his medical fees.
And he speaks Japanese?
That's all too suspicious.
Love is blind after all.
That's right. Women in love are pretty much blind.
They would never believe they've been tricked.
Exactly, I too...
This is the photo of the male target this time.
I must say he has the looks that would make women swoon.
But the actual guy behind the scam is this.
This is Hirunuma, who created the fake identity, William?
Yes.
I was suddenly contacted by the police...
and was told that there are many other women like me...
who were tricked.
I lent him my money.
A total of 20 million.
That's my hard-earned savings.
I'll get it back, right?
Honestly, I can't guarantee that.
If he has already spent the money,
creating a civil lawsuit...
doesn't guarantee that you'll get the full amount back.
How could that be?
Why did I get my heart cheated and then my money too?
- Please calm down. - Why?
- Calm down. - I trusted him.
Why?
That's intolerable.
How can he play with the feelings of a woman?
Many women have become Hirunuma's victims.
This girl.
But I met an honest and dependable man.
No.
I was working, of course.
Why are you asking such a question?
So it's true.
The police already have a lead on Hirunuma.
They're going to arrest him as soon as they have proof.
There's no time.
We can't let the police get ahead.
Let's not waste time. Let's go.
Wait.
I'm going too.
Are you physically better?
(Not yet.)
(The doctor said I need another surgery.)
Do you need more money?
(Can you do that? I'll feel so grateful.)
I can lend it to you.
But I can't transfer the money...
because the procedures are complicated.
(What should I do then?)
Is there anyone in Japan who can pass it to you?
(There is.)
I'll give it to the person then.
Give me the address.
With the money he has gotten, Hirunuma spends it partying.
He doesn't look the part at all.
Most of the cash is turned into gold...
and kept in a vault at his house.
The gold is our target.
We'll rob him dry.
He's a conman anyway.
It shouldn't be too hard.
A piece of cake.
Enough talk.
Let's get to it.
- Are you Ms. Kiguchi Tomoko? - Yes.
William told me about the situation.
He asked me to take care of his fiancée's money.
Right.
Here's three million.
Do you want to count it?
Return my money.
Give me back my money!
Why did you lie?
Who's the real liar?
Shut up! Get lost!
What are you doing? Enough of you.
- Give me back my money! - Stop it!
- Give it back! - Get inside.
What are you doing?
Darn it.
You annoy me.
What is it?
No, it's nothing.
You're too easy.
It's about women, right?
Let me hear it.
To be frank, I lied to my girlfriend.
Lied?
And I think she found out.
She won't answer my calls.
Women do have such superpowers.
They could always tell what you're thinking.
Is that true?
I didn't even think about how the girl I lied to...
would feel.
Kazuma, do you still wish to marry her?
Yes, of course.
Then what should be your priority now?
Catch the L clan.
That's right.
Second Division seems to be having a hard time.
What about them?
Hirunuma, the suspect of the international love scam...
is holding a hostage in his house.
The First Division was called in too.
Hirunuma?
I heard Hirunuma keeps the gold he bought...
with the money he scammed at home.
Gold?
We found signs of illegal login...
after checking his social account.
Then the chaos started.
Kind of pitiful, I'd say.
Illegal logins?
That means...
Where are you going?
Hey! Someone help!
Stop it! I said stop!
Stop it! What are you doing? This is dangerous.
Don't move. Don't come any closer.
Or else, I'll kill him and then kill myself.
Looks like it has gotten complicated.
The woman is one of Hirunuma's victims.
It's unsure why she's attacking Hirunuma though.
How did it turn out this way?
It's getting out of hand.
If the police surround the place,
it'd be impossible to sneak in to steal the goods.
Let's forget it.
No.
I can't let her become a killer.
Hana has become so reliable.
Wataru, what's the situation with the police?
From tapping the police's signal,
they've requested for the SAT to prevent any casualties.
The SAT?
That doesn't sound good.
Listen up.
Our mission is to apprehend the perpetrator.
Get to your positions...
and wait for orders.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Team A will enter from the corridor.
Team B will enter from the balcony.
There are two routes of attack, the corridor and the balcony.
The balcony team will be equipped with assault weapons.
Enter from the floor above.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
- Get into positions. - Yes, sir.
Next, the police will ask for other residents' cooperation.
Excuse me, we're the police.
Did anything happen?
Japanese is fine.
There is a hostage case on the floor below.
Oh my god.
Before the situation is contained, may we use your room?
- Sure. Come in, please. - Thank you.
Sorry for the intrusion.
Ouch...
Are you okay?
Thief!
Did something happen?
Hey!
Team B, are you in position?
This is Team B, we're ready.
Roger.
Wait for orders.
Wait...
Don't kill me, please.
I can't believe you're saying that after scamming so many people.
All right! I'll give you back your money, with interest!
It's too late.
I'm going to kill you and then kill myself.
Mr. Maki.
Sorry for disrupting your date.
It's okay to meet your girlfriend,
but at least tell me where you're going.
Sorry, I'm currently at the location of the hostage case.
Why are you there?
Hirunuma has at least one billion worth of gold stashed away.
But that's the Second Division's job.
The illegal logins.
Somebody else other than the police has been investigating Hirunuma.
I think it's them.
You mean...
Yes, they might show up.
The L clan.
Listen up. If it means you have to shoot them in the head,
do it to suppress the perpetrator.
Understood.
I took care of the SAT personnel here.
Dear, everything is ready.
What's your situation there?
There are too many police officers.
I can't get close.
Wataru, can you do something?
This is unexpected. I don't have a Plan B.
Shall we test Ladybug 3's new feature?
What feature?
It can fly and pilot itself.
Something incredible will happen. Brace yourself.
Sounds interesting. Let's try it, Hana.
Here.
Ladybug 3, go!
(Ladybug 3)
(Fly)
It failed. That's too bad.
It was still being tested after all.
That was a quick change of mood.
Okay, roger.
I received the order.
Begin the attack.
Oh, no.
- Is there no other way? - No, there's one left.
What's that? Tear gas?
What's that?
Captain.
We need to fall back. Fall back.
It's helium gas with a bit of alteration.
Danger!
Here's your chance.
Danger! I can't see what's in front.
Ouch!
Grandma, pick the lock.
Piece of cake.
All this while, you must have thought...
I'm a stupid woman, didn't you?
No.
You thought I couldn't get married, I'm stupid and ugly.
That I'm just a pitiful, old woman, right?
I didn't.
Stop lying! I'm sure that's what you thought.
You're just like me.
You look like a gorilla.
You must be sick of living, right?
Why did you have to cheat your own kind?
What a joke!
What a cruel joke!
To be lied to, I know that feeling.
But that's not a reason for you to get your hands dirty.
You're not like me.
You will find happiness.
I've seen you on the news.
You're the L clan, right?
What if I am?
Stop it! This is ridiculous!
Why is the L clan in my house?
I only took money from those stupid women!
They willingly gave me the money!
I didn't steal anything!
No, you stole the most important thing.
The women's heart.
It's your tough luck meeting me today.
For all the crimes you've committed, learn penitence.
Good work, Hana. You're the best!
Get moving. The SAT will be back at any moment.
Okay.
Dad.
Kazuma, what are you doing here?
What happened, Dad?
A temporary fallback.
A ladybug released some weird gas.
Ladybug?
Ouch!
Ladybug.
Kazuma, hey!
I've been wanting to meet you guys,
my dear little gold blocks.
We're going to return them to the female victims.
It's okay to take one or two, right?
No, you can't keep any.
There's no time. Do as Hana said.
You caught me.
The SAT is returning. Stop fooling around.
Get out, stupid.
I found you, L clan!
What's happening, Hana?
Hana.
Hana?
Kazuma?
(To be continued)
I'm scared. I lied.
What love?
Did you really believe that was love?
I don't know what to do.
But the truth is...
I don't want to do this.
(This drama is a work of fiction.)
