Original subtitles

Just so you know

I am not the "boss"

that you think I am.

Are you looking for revenge? If so

I suggest you should give up.

Simply put

you'll never reach the top, no matter how hard you try.

Who is the person

above you?

Are you sure?

There are things in this world

better left unknown.

Stop pontificating.

Are you abiding by the terms of the settlement or not?

The Minister of MLIT at the time.

Ishikura.

Ishikura!

SHOJI ISHIKURA

The Chief Cabinet Secretary?

Now you know.

There's nothing you can do.

You must be joking.

I'll make him talk.

I'll make him confess to all that he tried to do in Minato City.

What's going on this late at night?

And with these members? Must be pretty drastic.

Something unexpected happened.

I need to tell you all about it.

Inoo, Takaido.

I'm sorry, but you two

-will have to work separately now. -Huh?

We can't let you get involved further.

Um...

It's so sudden, I don't understand what this is about.

Involved in what?

Tell us what we can't get involved in and in which way.

Why do we have to work separately?

You don't have to talk around the accident from five years ago.

You knew about it?

It was a huge story at the time.

And the surnames Todoroki and Uzaki appear

on the list of names related to the story.

There must be a connection.

He's right, anyone can see it with some research.

And this is right after the court case against Mayor Otobe.

If you're making us leave the boat, at least give us a good reason.

You don't have to hold back.

I'm part of your team.

Takaido...

You're absolutely right.

We have a connection to that accident.

As was reported at the time

all passengers died in the bus crash.

And in the bus

was my daughter.

The bus driver was Uzaki Hiroo, Ryo's father.

They determined the accident was due to driver negligence.

They said my father

took some medication with strong side effects

and drove the bus recklessly.

But by chance, I was investigating a separate case nearby

and witnessed the scene of the accident that day.

And I realized

the facts were being twisted.

The evidentiary materials were tampered with by the police.

So you think there was pressure?

Yes.

At the time, there was a plan to promote autonomous driving

staring up behind the scenes.

It was called "The Mobility City Project."

I remember they wanted to run driverless busses

all over the country.

Yes.

Minato City was the first city chosen for a test run.

You mean, the bus that crashed might have been...

I suspect that a self-driving system was running the bus.

But after the accident, the testing program in Minato City

was canceled.

By pretending it never happened in order to continue the project.

They covered up everything, including the truth about the accident.

And the police cooperated.

But still

I don't know why I have to be kicked off the team.

We just got Otobe where we want him.

Otobe wasn't our only enemy.

But you said it was Minato City.

Who is currently pushing that project nation-wide?

You should know who.

It can't be...

Yes, it's the current Chief Cabinet Secretary

Shoji Ishikura.

Ishikura!

That's beyond anybody's guess.

There you have it.

My prediction was too optimistic, it seems.

I can't make you guys take this long-shot gamble with me.

After spending all our time and money

we could end up with nothing in our hands.

-So now you guys can just-- -I'm in.

How about you, Inoo?

Of course, me too.

Are you guys insane?

I didn't come back here with some half-baked spirit.

I can't turn back now.

Did you hear that?

I appreciate it.

I too

have no intention of ending this without fighting back.

Right, Uzaki?

Yes.

I want to take revenge for sure.

It means we have to prove the cover up by Ishikura.

I'll help, no problem.

If karma hits some of us, it hits all of us.

Hey.

-Did your character change? -Huh?

-No, I don't think I've changed. -You've definitely changed.

I'm telling you I haven't.

Oh, I know. You did some Self-reflection, didn't you?

Huh?

What do you mean?

THE OUTLAWS OF THE LAW

I was vaguely aware of the two

but I didn't think we'd be fighting a top government official.

I was shocked that you were involved too.

I kept quiet for a long time, so I understand.

Right. We've known each other for ten years now.

It's a sensitive issue.

I haven't told your secret to anyone either

except for Todoroki.

I appreciate that.

I was thinking...

It might help with our solidarity against the last boss, if...

your problem is solved somehow.

That guy will be out again, right?

There you go again. You're overprotective of me, Ryoko.

It wouldn't hurt to let me worry about you.

He's been released from prison

five times already since then.

I'm totally used to it.

You say that, but are you sure you're still not frightened?

The 17 year old Mari inside of you?

That's impossible.

I'm 27 years old now.

I've been out of range from his target long ago.

- Keisuke Kuroda? - Yes.

The man who was arrested for secretly photographing Mari.

Oh, the incident that occurred when Inoo was in high school.

He was in prison during her first year in high school.

Four convictions for groping, and was only sentenced to a year.

The victim's pain lasts much longer.

It's the first time he was released since Inoo started working here.

She's acting cheerful on the surface, but...

By being sociable, she tries to be with someone at all times.

You know why she rides a motorcycle, right?

She's fearful of trains, I suppose.

There's nowhere to run so it puts her on guard.

Yeah. That's how she's defending herself mentally.

I wish she would rely on us more.

You need courage to rely on other people

with an issue like this.

I see.

I know it should be okay now.

But if by any chance he appears again

I'll personally beat the shit out of him.

You said that when I was in high school.

Ryoko, why are you so nice to me?

Because I think it's not fair.

Why does the victim who was hurt have to be stronger?

As a police officer, I'm frustrated with this situation.

The reason I'm able to lead a decent social life

is because of you.

I haven't done anything.

Besides, I have trouble believing your law firm is "decent."

You have a point.

Yesterday, Takaido said he's part of the team.

Yeah. He did, didn't he?

I feel the same way as him, but...

I also felt kind of left out.

It's pathetic I'm not all in...

- Should I walk you to your door? - No, it's okay.

Are you sure? You're not afraid?

I told you you're overprotective.

I don't fear men or dark streets anymore.

Don't pretend you're fine.

I'm really fine.

It's just that...

I'm not completely confident

that I could resist enough if anything happens.

At the time, my rejection was not enough

and I gave in.

I'm sounding whiny again.

I think I should go home and get some sleep.

You should go home too, Ryoko.

- Good night. - Good night.

Thank you.

You finally came out.

Good morning, Inoo.

Uzaki, it's just you.

What do you mean, "It's just you"?

Why are you laughing?

Asami called me yesterday and said she drank too much with you

so I should pick you up tomorrow.

Oh, so that's what this is.

-Overprotective for sure. -How much did you drink?

Oh yeah, last night I could barely walk.

- No way. - Yup.

Wow.

But I don't get it, why me?

You're the lowest level there.

What? I've been there for a while now and I'm older than you.

You're still the lowest, single-celled idiot.

You're really cheeky, fearless, and not cute at all.

Sexual harassment. Penal Code Article 231, Insult.

Hey, quit it.

Did Ryoko tell you anything else?

Huh? No, nothing.

Okay then.

You can tell me anything.

Why are you being nice all of a sudden?

Talk, girl. I'll be listening.

- I'll be listening. - I'll be listening.

As in the past, we should lead the global economy.

We must recover the strength of our nation.

Technology is the key.

We must once again be a proud technological superpower.

Ishikura is posting on social media again.

- What's he saying? - Nothing new.

Just annoying.

"The site I visited yesterday was exciting.

You can see the future in their technology."

- He's so desperate about branding. - I think so.

- He seems obsessed. - Hold on. What's this picture?

I didn't know you were into athletes.

Oh, it's her again.

- Huh? - Her name is Ayane Miura.

Her pictures goes viral often so I see them in my feed.

But the comments on the posts tend to be vulgar.

They're obviously taken for sleazy reasons

without permission.

SHE'S SO CUTE... AND THAT BODY...

THAT SKIN. THOSE MUSCLES. AYANE'S UNREAL.

AYANE MIURA

THIS VIRAL ATHLETE'S NAME IS AYANE MIURA.

SHE'S SO HOT. IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER PICS PLEASE SEND!

TORIJII

NEW PICS OF HIGH SCHOOL BABE AYANE MIURA.

I'M PROUD OF THESE SHOTS! LIMITED 100. FIRST COME FIRST SERVE!

PICS OF HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETE AYANE MIURA FROM THE TRACK MEET.

ON SALE SOON!

BODY OF HEALTHY, WELL-TRAINED 17 YEAR OLD IS THE BEST!

GRADUATION CEREMONY

FOUND THE PRIVATE ACCOUNT OF AYANE MIURA

THE BEAUTIFUL HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETE! MANY YOUNGER PICS OF HER!

This guy is spreading them.

TORIJII

You look so serious.

- What are you reading? - Huh?

What the hell is this?

- It's terrible. - Malicious, isn't it?

I think we should inform her school.

- What? - What's the name? Let me see.

SHE'S A SECOND YEAR STUDENT IN SAKURABASHI HIGH SCHOOL.

Sakurabashi High School. Okay.

- Wait. - Hello?

My name is Uzaki and I'm a lawyer.

There's a student in your school who's a victim of voyeurism.

Yes. Her personal information is spreading on social media, too.

We are concerned for her safety.

Yes. You should take measures.

Did Inoo tell you anything?

No, not particularly.

Well, there's this guy I want to get for being a creep.

Getting a creep won't help us with work.

How can you be so cold?

I'm busy investigating Ishikura for you.

Thanks for that.

But I'm focused on this for now.

I'm suspecting that he runs some underground website.

Huh?

It pisses me off and I'm not allowing it.

DENSHATORISHI

Are they selling crime videos?

Yeah. I'd say it's totally illegal.

For an illegal site, they have a huge number of registered subscribers.

Pornography is a good source of income for quasi-gansters.

Can you look into it?

I see. I understand.

No, it's all right. Good bye.

-They want us to leave it alone. -Huh?

Is the school going to do something?

No.

-They don't intend to do anything. -No way.

The girl herself doesn't want the police involved.

She's quitting track and field after graduation.

She says this should go away once she retires.

Can I call them once more?

Right now?

Of course you can.

I think she's bottling it up.

Bottling it up?

She's trying to hide her pain

by enduring it on her own.

But that's the wrong thing to do. I'm sure of it.

Even if you endure it, these things might create other stalkers.

There's always a possiblity it might escalate.

Inoo?

Sorry.

I just want to prevent the worst case scenario.

Well

I know how you feel.

I know there's a time when you just got to do something.

Yeah, I guess.

You would know, Uzaki.

Listen.

I...

I probably have to tell a story on the phone.

The story of what happened to me.

So you should listen in, Uzaki.

Are you sure it's all right?

Yeah.

I want you to listen.

Okay.

It's good that the school decided to have a talk with her.

Now I'm going to talk to Ayane directly.

You can do it.

Thanks.

- Sorry to keep you waiting. - Are you okay?

Okay. Let's go.

I appreciate your concern.

But...

I don't want the problem to get bigger.

Is it all right if

I talk about myself for a minute?

If possible, please refrain from straining our student.

Of course, I'll be careful.

When I was in high school

I was victimized in a similar way.

Were you secretly photographed?

Yes.

I don't mean to traumatize you

but...

I still can't take trains.

I still can't.

I get nervous when someone points a smartphone at me.

Shutter sounds startle me.

I was also stalked at the time

so I still look behind me and check while I'm walking.

Even if it was ten years ago.

You don't have to do this.

Let me talk.

I don't want there to be more people like me.

Just like you

a creepy man noticed me at a school athletic tournament.

Your team won. Congratulations.

You were on the bench the whole time today.

But because of that

I was able to watch you for a long time.

Of course, I'd rather see you play in the game.

That way, I could see you in various poses.

So it was at the sports venue too...

So...

it continued after that?

Not just at school

but I was stalked even on trains.

That's awful.

That in itself was terrifying.

But one day, I was told that pictures of me in uniform

were on an adult website.

From that day

I couldn't play volleyball anymore.

I understand that feeling

of wanting to quit.

I was angry that I had to quit because of a man like that.

So I went to the police and told them everything.

And then

I discovered that he had many other pictures of me he took secretly.

I couldn't believe it.

That man...

was he properly arrested?

Yes.

He was guilty of violating the nuisance prevention law.

Even if he completes his sentence and gets released

I won't let him come near you, Mari.

I swear the police and I will protect you at all costs.

His being a repeat offender, selling pictures online

and causing my PTSD was taken into consideration.

He was sentenced to ten months in prison.

Only ten months?

Then he soon got out of prison...

His targets were always high school girls.

He was committing voyeurism and groping offenses.

When he was released, I already graduated from high school.

You know

I heard that the man was released again recently.

I thought I was fine now, but...

You're still afraid?

I guess I'm still not over

the fact that I didn't directly reject him.

Ayane

I don't want you to become like me.

So

I don't want you to give up the fight.

Actually, this is something I can't tell my parents or teachers...

Yeah.

After the incident...

I've become afraid of men.

Although I have a boyfriend...

Um...

It's all right.

- I understand. - What if I quit track and field

and this feeling still stays with me all my life?

That's what scares me the most.

It's as if your body...

isn't your own, right?

Exactly.

Ms. Inoo

I'm glad we met.

I thought that

I'd have to bear this burden alone forever.

I won't tell anyone what you told me.

I promise.

Thank you.

What's the matter? You've been awfully quiet.

Amazing.

- What? - With all that's happened

you were able to become a lawyer.

I can say the same about you.

Hey.

Is there anything I could do as a man?

I'll take back what I said about you being single-celled.

- Making fun of me again? - No, I'm praising you.

I don't feel like I've been praised.

I'm not kidding.

The story I told today

was what made me decide to become a lawyer.

- Really. - Yeah.

Around the time I quit volleyball

I heard a lecture by a lawyer who was a graduate of the school.

There, I encountered words

that gave me a lot of strength.

What were they?

If you know the law

you can speak up.

Even if you feel powerless, or intimidated by someone

if you have knowledge of the law you can confront them.

I was moved by those words.

That's when I decided

I'm going to be a lawyer too.

And you stuck with it, huh?

That's admirable.

Although it's a bit weird that you chose this law firm.

Oh, did I hear that you used to work somewhere else?

Yeah.

The second year there, I was given a criminal case for the first time.

And I just couldn't trust the client.

I had images of Kuroda, which made me think that maybe he hurt someone.

But a lawyer has to defend.

That must have been...

pretty hard.

Yeah.

So...

I wanted to fight for those whom I can really trust.

This is an eccentric law firm

but it's better for me.

I see.

Then of course you'd want to fight for Ayane.

Yeah.

Besides

I feel like I can save

the 17 year old me as well.

After all

it's nice to have somebody on your side to fight with you.

That's true. It really is.

Okay then.

I'll support you till the end with all I have.

Oh?

You need to cheer up too, Uzaki.

You seem kind of down recently because of your father.

- No. - No?

- I'm fine. - Really?

I have a huge appetite.

- That's good. - Really.

DENSHATORISHI

WOMEN'S TOILET SHOTS

This is really awful. Disgusting stuff.

You don't have to force yourself.

I'm all right.

These aren't staged

and there are actual victims...

It's what they call a group assault. Attacking in groups...

They're the scum of the Earth.

Look. This one wrote "on the outside."

It could mean he was released from prison.

Takaido.

Can you find out whose account this is?

- I can explain. - Okay.

- I'll look into it. - Thanks.

Let's look for other clues that would identify these guys.

I'VE SET THE OFFLINE GATHERING WE WERE TALKING ABOUT!

They're planning an offline gathering.

Let's crash it and round them up all at once.

Hold on.

We don't have proof of anything yet.

This calls for doing it the smart way.

How?

Well, he should be able to think of something.

Really?

Finally.

Yes. Thank you very much.

Mr. Kiriishi.

We'll be working together.

Buying a dormant account to join an offline gathering is genius.

You'd better have studied for your part.

30 year old male, my handle is Colonel Sailor.

My fetish is for scarves on sailor uniforms.

So what kind of account did you buy, Mr. Kiriishi?

Mine is obviously

dark tanned skin fetish.

Obviously?

What do you mean?

Many thanks to you, Rotel. The girl in that video

- was just divine. - That innocent expression.

- The reality is off the charts. - Staged videos can't compete.

So did you see the one

- the one with Ayane? - I did.

Seriously precious, right?

Mr. Torijii is the best. If you can record a video of her

the contents are sure to be popular!

- Yeah, that's for sure. - But she's athletic.

- Wouldn't she be able to resist? - Actually, they surprise you.

Are you kidding me?

- A decent girl. - They can't really say anything

- for fear of being heard. - That's it!

Calm down. Would you be satisfied just by beating them up?

- But those guys... - If you lose your head now

how would it help the victims in the long run?

What's the matter? Are you fighting?

No. We were having a disagreement

about our fetishes.

- Sorry about that. - It's okay.

There's freedom of expression, Colonel Sailor.

By the way, that next event looks good.

Yeah, I know.

- But it's my first event, actually. - Oh, really?

- Is Mr. Torijii the organizer? - Yes.

Should I introduce you to him?

- Is it okay? - Of course.

Mr. Torijii. Excuse us.

I want to introduce you

to Colonel Sailor, who's joined us for the first time.

He wants to come to the next event.

I'm so grateful I found out about Ayane because of you.

- No worries. - Can I come to the next event?

I'll be the photographer or whatever.

You can if you want.

Here.

Don't you use the app with disappearing chats?

Colonel Sailor is naive.

All communication about the event is done on this.

You surprised me.

They're funny.

Okay.

The owner of the video sharing site?

He was originally a top-notch engineer.

He used to build systems for various services.

He seems famous in the field.

That's valuable information. I'll look into it.

I hope that idiot won't do anything rash.

Those bastards!

I wanted to knock all of them down.

I commend you for tolerating.

Colonel Sailor? What the hell kind of name is that?

Why is he using a name with a title?

Get a grip.

Hold on to that anger until the day you need it.

I'll hold on to all of it.

THIS TEXT WILL BE DELETED IN 10 MIN.

ROTEL: EVERYTHING IS SET FOR THE NEW GROUP ASSAULT MOVIE.

They really communicate in this way, huh?

It's the crime plan from that piece of shit.

We first have to get ready for the big day.

We should ask her to take a different route to school.

We absolutely cannot let her be anywhere near them.

- But... - They'll try again and again.

I guess it's better for her to round them up at once.

You don't have to be brave for this.

There might be other ways to do it.

Please let me do it.

Since I heard the story of your past

I've been thinking a lot.

And I decided something.

If I succeed in defending myself and feel that I'm all right

then maybe I won't have to be hurt anymore.

Yes.

"Dark Vader" was Kuroda like we thought.

He's going to be there for the shoot, he says.

PEROPERO: I'LL BE THERE! DARK VADER: I'M GOING TO JOIN YOU TOO

ROTEL: OH, DARK VADER'S COMING. IT SHOULD BE GOOD.

You don't have to come.

- But... - Leave it to us.

I swear we'll get Kuroda.

Inoo.

- Yes. - If everything goes well

what do you want for Kuroda?

It's our business model

to create lawsuits by pushing victims.

But if we don't make them pay for their crimes

these kinds of crimes won't be gone.

I got it.

The rapid train bound for Kitajuku will soon arrive on track 1.

Please stand behind the yellow line.

...will soon arrive on track...

We'll stop briefly for a two-minute schedule adjustment.

Get away from her!

Huh? What do you mean? I haven't done anything.

I said get away from her!

Huh? Are you Ms. Inoo?

Are you trying to frame me? This is a false accusation!

Don't get your ugly face near her. We have it all on video.

You know what will happen, don't you?

Hey!

Let me go!

- Ayane. - What are you doing?

Don't move.

Damn it!

I've got pent up anger for you.

Get out.

Hurry up.

She helped me back then, and she's still helping me now.

I wanted be of help to you just like she was for me.

I see.

You did a good job in a tough role, Ayane.

No, it wasn't so difficult.

Ms. Inoo and her team were by my side.

I knew I couldn't lose.

I guess we'll award them with passing grades, then.

Not a finger was laid on you, and no video of you was taken.

We got concrete proof, too.

Yes, we did.

Everyone working together

and Ayane's courage accomplished it.

That's not all.

Mari's bravery was a big factor.

You being brave

is what saved Ayane.

I agree without a doubt.

Stop, you're making me cry.

You were so cool.

You scowled at them so fiercely.

I did, didn't I?

I was able to say it without being scared.

I confronted him.

Maybe I'm not that 17 year old Mari anymore.

You really pulled it off.

Ayane.

Let me tell you this.

Yes.

We are not

people who were scarred for life.

We don't have to

keep dragging it around.

Yes.

Let's try our best together.

There's something that is often said

about victims of sexual assault.

A minor act by the perpetrator can be a lifelong trauma to the victim.

However, I don't think this is true.

It might take a long time

but we can live without being trapped in the past.

That is why

it's meaningful for the law

to clearly state that this kind of self-centered behavior

will not be tolerated again.

Thank you, Uzaki.

A lot of things were sorted out because of you.

Yeah.

Actually, I'm the one who want to thank you.

Huh? Why would you be saying thank you?

Well, fighting together made me realize some things.

I don't know what you mean, but I'll accept it.

Okay.

I'm grateful to you too, Takaido.

I didn't do much.

But...

I'm glad.

Really.

I know.

Yeah.

We're grateful you're back to your usual self.

I'm not back.

I overcame

and I moved forward.

Oh.

That sounds good.

Doesn't it?

Anyway, where's Mr. Todoroki?

I don't know.

He didn't poke his nose in much, but I wonder what he was doing?

Aren't you glad you didn't get arrested?

You should thank me for it.

Even if you hadn't told me

I wouldn't have gone. Too dangerous.

A great system engineer like you

must be smarter than the rest.

Why the fake flattery?

You build systems, then walk away. You have great skills.

But after you realized you can make the most money in adult contents

you started to run a pornographic site on the side.

You're stressing me out with the way you speak.

What is your purpose?

Is it true that your expertise is on autonomous driving?

If you're in the field, you must know

a company named GI Technologies.

I heard you were working with them a year ago on a joint--

What about it?

There was a bus accident in Minato City five years ago.

The bus was using an autonomous driving system by GI Technologies.

If you're working in the field, you must have more information.

I don't know anything about five years ago.

Don't laugh, you scumbag.

I'll give you one piece of advice.

We'll just smash it again if you ever create another disgusting site.

Be grateful I'm not turning you over to the police and ruining your life.

What do you want to hear?

Everything you know.

It's better to stay out of it. There are a lot of--

Just tell me everything!

I've heard enough warnings like that.

So do you suspect medical negligence?

This cloud's been hanging over me.

Toa Hospital is favored by politicians.

Why are you here, Mr. Kiriishi?

Drop the Toa Hospital case.

They might be trying to cover up medical negligence.

So are you going to handle it?

We don't have much time left!
