Well, looks like you're fucked!
We finally caught you.
And now you'll regret making this harder than it had to be.
Now suffer!
We're gonna be here all night!
Michel-san.
Thanks for the help, as always.
We all gotta help each other out when we're in trouble.
Now, time to hit the casinos...
We'll be looking forward to your next visit!
Thank you!
Oh, jeez.
No...
It can't be!
"Cabaret Club White Rose"
What? Again?
"White Rose Cabaret Girl" Thank you, as always.
"Michel and the Stupid Book"
N-No, no. I'm just in a gifting mood.
If you like Erica-chan that much, ask for her to join you!
You get nervous when she sits next to you, right?
You're so cute, Michel-san.
Aww, thanks...
Sorry!
Oh, no! I'll go get a band-aid!
Is that Michel-san?
"Hokkaido Fair"
Wow, somebody seriously ordered this.
It tastes bland.
Cause of death: electrocution.
And every victim has a sweet smell coming from their mouth.
How strange.
Oh, old man. Another case?
"Genghis Khan Parfait" Yeah.
"Genghis Khan Parfait" There's been a rash of deaths among
"Genghis Khan Parfait" --the local thug and pickpocket population lately...
--Creepy. --the local thug and pickpocket population lately...
Here.
Thank you.
I'll take good care of Mr. Bear, okay?
See you later!
O-Okay...
You're late, Erica!
Sorry, Takashi!
It'd damn well better not happen again.
Of course.
Michel-san, it's best not to take it too seriously.
That's Erica-chan's real boyfriend.
Boyfriend!
You're pretty average-looking, so you don't make much money.
Sorry.
I know what you need to do. Quit college.
"Erica's BF" And then you can use that tuition money to buy me booze.
Erica-san, someone's asking for you.
"West Side Capitalist"
Hey, I know him!
He's a famous rich guy from the West Side!
My grandma always told me to pay respect to those that don't stand out.
That's why I asked for you, the most average-looking girl in this club!
Th-Thank you.
I love my grandma, even though she passed away.
So I always do the things she taught me to do.
She gave me this ring, too!
It's the only one of its kind in the world!
Wow, that's amazing!
I've been so bored on the West Side lately.
Who's that guy?
Harry Evans-san, a landowner from the West Side!
Everybody calls him Dopey because he's like that.
But this is Erica-chan's chance to get a rich customer.
Isn't this wonderful?
I'm going home.
What are you doing here?
Michel-san, don't get so down!
There are lots of other wonderful girls out there!
What are you talking about?
It's okay!
It's fine! Let's go drink!
--What are you people even doing here?
--Come on, let's go have a nice chat. --What are you people even doing here?
I'm... your friend.
Michel! Look at this!
Last night, Takashi Nakajo-san from the Shinjuku East Side
was found dead in his room.
"Suspect Erica Suzumoto" His acquaintance, Erica Suzumoto, was arrested for murder.
What?
Isn't she your...
--You know she's not a murder!
--Sempai, calm down! --You know she's not a murder!
--Sempai, calm down! --Like hell I'm going to calm down!
Give me all the info you've got!
I'm not on that case!
And I can't let outsiders have access to it...
"Outsiders"?
That girl... Erica is my daughter!
Now hand it over...
Hey.
Tell me more.
I guess it would've been 15 years ago.
I was a cop on the East Side.
--Mommy! Let's go to the park! --I was married back then.
I had a five year old daughter.
She was so cute.
But I got into gambling.
Bad luck, Michel-san.
Started trading insider info
for relief from my debts.
My ties to the Yakuza caught the attention of some bad sorts...
They came after family one day.
You bastard!
Erica!
Honey! Honey, Erica is... Erica is...
It's okay! It's okay!
The cops fired me.
And my wife took my daughter and left.
I decided I'd never be a part of her life again.
I don't have the right to be her dad.
But I want to prove her innocence.
Show me the body of the dead man.
Poor Erica-chan! She was so little, but now she's grown up...
I'm taking an interest in the case, that's all.
I'm not doing it to help you.
Creepy.
Understood! I'll do whatever it takes!
The autopsy's not done yet, so we don't know the details,
but we believe cause of death to be a stab to the chest.
The only fingerprints on the murder weapon, a knife, were Erica-chan's.
What does she... what does Erica say?
Um...
She came out of the bath and found a bloody knife,
and picked it up without thinking about it.
She stood frozen in the living room until the cops arrived.
--Could this be... --The detective on the case
--No, that's not right. --says that they likely got in a lover's quarrel and she stabbed him.
And the detective on the case is Onimaru-san.
Onimaru the Confessor?
Yes.
Whenever he goes after somebody, they confess to things they didn't even do...
--Damn it! Out of all the people...
--The killer is Dopey. --Damn it! Out of all the people...
Dopey? The guy from yesterday?
But what?
First, look at this.
Is that a hickey?
Guys' been having some fun, huh?
No, not at all.
It's a stun gun mark.
He probably got whacked with it before he got stopped.
And then...
Wow, that's a weird place for those marks.
This is...
"Carbon-Cut Star Ruby" "Pyrope Garnet" "Gold (24k)" ...Dopey's Ring.
He grabbed onto it and got shocked. That's where these marks came from.
Yeah, that ugly ring's the only one of its type in the world!
Old man, that was pretty easy...
Sadly, nope.
He's a powerful man on the West Side.
The cops can't go after him easily.
So we'd have to steal the ring from Dopey?
That's right.
And there's one thing I have to ask--
Hey.
Sempai left already.
That idiot!
Our next top story:
multiple violent felons escaped from
Tokyo 7th Prison early yesterday morning.
Oh?
--Wait, that's where Moriarty is! --The police say that over 20 escaped...
I'm worried!
--The leader was bomber Albert Trevor,
--Assistant, get off your ass. --The leader was bomber Albert Trevor,
--Assistant, get off your ass. --and several of his men...
"Beware of dog! (It bites!)" They've probably got a big doberman or something.
But I can use this to distract it.
Oh, my.
"Granny's Memory Museum"
This is the only place left.
"Candies Granny Gave Me"
I don't have a choice!
It's always the same.
I should've done this.
I shouldn't have done that.
I should've spent more time with her.
If I'd stayed by her side...
So this time, at least...
No, just this once!
Just wait for me, Erica...
Crap!
What is this?
Stop right there!
Now you're a bad guy, too!
I saw you right when you came in!
I was just letting you go so I could catch you in the act!
I'm so smart!
You're the one who took out that Takashi guy, right?
That's right!
The most important lesson Granny taught me
"Granny's Lessons" is that bad guys need to be taught a lesson.
And so now you're going to be punished!
When I left White Rose yesterday, that man came to talk to me!
Hey, you want a good time, right?
Come play with me.
It's mine now!
He stole my ring from me by cheating at poker.
So...
"Takashi's House"
That ring is a treasure my grandmother gave me!
Oh, dear!
Sorry, I didn't realize.
Hey, what are you--
Punishment!
Complete!
Now, you snuck into my house to steal my ring.
You're a bad guy, too.
I'll punish you!
Okay, here we go!
Watch me in heaven, Grandma.
I'm watching you right now, little Harry.
Grandma?
"Dopey's Grandmother" You're all grown up, huh?
I'm so proud!
Grandma!
I thought you were dead!
Hey, who are you--
Don't touch my grandma!
It's okay now, Grandma.
You came to see me, right?
I was worried you might not be doing what I told you.
Hey, kiddo.
Why'd you punish that guy in a different way, yesterday?
You're...
I'm sorry.
That's right. Actually...
Punishment complete!
Huh?
What do I do?
I have to punish him...
I have to do what I was told, or Granny will...
Don't do that again, okay?
Got it? Good.
You were a good boy and learned your lesson, so take this.
Whenever she was done scolding me, Grandma always gave me candy.
Now this time...
Punishment! Complete!
Takashi, you okay?
Of course, I wanted to do it with just the stun gun.
I knew it.
By the way, kiddo.
Was it you who's been punishing the pickpockets and other thugs in Kabukicho?
They all had melted candy in their mouth.
And they died of shock from a powerful stun gun.
Just like you punished Takashi.
Of course, the ring he was holding partially grounded him,
and kept it from being a lethal shock.
Yup! It was me!
They were all bad guys who came after my ring!
So I punished them!
Sure, if you walk through that town with a ring like that,
you'll attract attention.
Attention's what I wanted!
I couldn't find any bad guys in the West Side!
So you used the ring as bait to find bad guys and then killed them!
I'm great, aren't I?
Tell I'm the best, Grandma!
Of course. You really are my beloved grandson.
Let me give your head a thwack-thwack. I mean, a pat-pat.
Come here.
Yay! Pat-pat!
Grandma!
Okay! Pat-pat!
Punishment! Complete!
Hey! Untie me! Untie me!
Hello?
I didn't know you helped people like that.
I'm glad I was able to help, too.
No, it's pat-pat, not thwack-thwack!
Pat-pat the head!
"Harry Evans Arrested For Murder" --I just took an interest in the case, --And for our next stop story,
"Harry Evans Arrested For Murder" --that's all. --Harry Evans was arrested
"Harry Evans Arrested For Murder" --Right, right. --Harry Evans was arrested
"Harry Evans Arrested For Murder" as a suspect in a series of killings.
I didn't do anything wrong! I just did what Grandma told me!
He's a little weird, but they say he was a good person.
He was a philanthropist and he made a lot of visits to people in prison.
And a guy like that...
You just never know with people.
Hey, are we sure about leaving Michel-san like that?
--Erica-san doesn't know how hard
--Mommy! --Erica-san doesn't know how hard
--Mommy! --her dad tried to save him, right?
It's not up to us.
That's what he wants.
"10 Months Later" There's just two months left until the Shinjuku ward mayor election!
I'll continue to support your way of life as best I can...
"Sebastian Moran" I'll continue to support your way of life as best I can...

We need a new plan! A new leader!
"Serial Killer Commits Suicide In Prison" There's a new mess going on outside every day.
It's almost election time.
Moran's still pissing me off like always.
Sorry.
We're not open yet.
How awful.
Have you forgotten me?
Hey, you can't just--
My name's James Moriarty.
I'm back, everyone!

Home Run! Congratulations!
