Original subtitles

Just a little bit more.. Just a little bit more and everything will be over.

After all, It was the devil of the "satcho" alliance..

Satcho: this term is used to refer to the military alliance between Satsuma and Choshu domains who were considered outsiders and against the Tokugawa Shogunate in the Edo period. As the story progresses, it becomes clearer what he means.

I wonder since when.. I sold my soul to the devil.

This year is the olympics? Where did you say it was?

Eh? Rio de.. Rio de Janeiro.

I mean.. in 4 years, it will be in Tokyo, right?

This neighborhood too.. I wonder if it will change a lot.

The economic boom of the olympics.. Isn't that a great thing?

Hey, big bro..

"Here in front of the Tamachi branch of Mitsumoto Bank.."

"..since the criminal has been holding 19 hostages.."

"..it's been 3 hours already".

The tense battle with the police still continues.

The SAT forces are not ready yet?

There's no time. Do we have approval to use the SAT froces?

Not yet! right now Chief Sakuma is negotiating with the superiors.

"The situation it's very still tense."

Even if I don't deliberatly request SAT forces dispatch from the security department..

..SIT forces from the criminal department should be sufficient.

Because you can't, you're asking.. isn't that right?

Ahh.. if that's the case, let's do this.

The post for 2nd investigation section chief of Kumamoto prefectural police which we decided to give to Ishikura from our faction..

I will give it to the Satsuma faction. That way you won't have any complaints, right?

What will you do with Ishikura?

If I'm not mistaken, the post for 2nd section chief for the Aichi prefectural police is also vacant.

Our boy should be good there.

No no no... Isn't that just a mere sideways movement?

Trying to pick a quarrel? If that's the case, about the Aichi post..

..are you saying we should give it to your faction too?

I didn't say that.

However, the one who is having a hard time with your proposal is Director Yoshinaga.

If that's the case, shouldn't we show our good faith to him as well?

Not at all, that's convenient. I was just thinking that it's about time..

..I start making arrangements for my younger son..

"Tanuki" is the Japanese raccoon dog, however it can also be used to refer to someone who pretends to be a good person, but is actually a sly and devious person.

..to take the post of chief, - But there's some "tanuki" around..

Because it's director Gondo..

..he has a bad habit of breaking off negotiations.

- SAT won't be dispatched?! - What?!

If the case gets resolved quickly, the Tozama faction will raise its value.

Tozama: this means outsiders, the term was also used to refer to the outside daimyos who were against the Tokugawa shogunate in the Edo period. I will continue to refer to it as "Tozama" faction.

That's why Director Gondo, and also Yoshinaga from Toudai faction..

..really hate Director Sendo.

It seems SAT won't be dispatched.

You're fucking kidding!

It's because you said yourself that you would be able to persuade the superiors..

..that we waited for you until now!

The authorization was not given?!

It seems the superiors couldn't reach an agreement..

What! how can that be?!

The most important thing to protect should be the safety of the hostages!

It's almost time for the suspect to show up!

We have no choice but to rely on SIT!

But, without a snipping squad..

The suspect has come out!

It's the pro....mised.. time..

Where's the car?

The roads are crowded so it's not ready yet!

- Ahhh! - Wait! please give us 10 minutes more!

After 10 minutes without fail!

Prepare SIT quickly for dispatch!

- Understood! - The next instructions from the criminal..

"There was a gunshot!"

"Just now, we heard a gunshot coming from inside the bank."

"There's uproar in the surroundings."

"Just now, we heard a gunshot coming from inside the bank."

We have authorization to rush in!

Understood. Rushing in now!

- Ahh, I'm relieved.. - We are saved..

Hey.. are you ok?

The female hostage was shot in her right leg!

Are you okay? The rescue squad will be here soon.

Where's the suspect?

He escaped from the back entrance?! How could this happen?!

- Quickly set up the barricades! - Yes sir!

I'll go to the front.

Todoroki! go to the east side, I'll go around the opposite side

"It seems the suspect has escaped!"

The way things are right now, the responsibility will fall on you, Sakuma-san..

Stop messing around! what happened with Kamijo?

If it's him, he can definitely find a way to escape this situation..

Sakuma Yoshitaka

Hey, big bro, your cellphone is ringing.

It's just some minor business.

Sakuma Yoshitaka

Are you okay?

This incident.. is it something we could have prevented?

- "Ron". - Huh?

"Ron" is a call used in Japanese Mahjong when the winning tile is discared by another player.

Winning hand "tanpin" of 3 colors and dora-dora. "haneman" I win.

In Japanese Mahjong, "Tanpin" refers to a winning hand which combines 2 types of winning tiles (tanyao & pinfu). "Dora-Dora" refers to a feature in the game which gives bonus points, and "haneman" is term to refer to a win worth of 12,000 points for non-dealer or 18,000 for the dealer.

Ehhhh...

What's up with this.. You did it again big bro..

How come you are so strong?

It's just because of information leak.

When "tenpai" is near to happen, you have a habit of sorting tiles that you should discard.

In Japanese Mahjong, "Tenpai" refers to the state when you only need one more tile to complete a winning hand.

And you, when it's time to get rid of tiles in order to achieve "agari"..

In Japanese Mahjong, "agari" means to win a hand.

your habit of discarding tiles becomes stronger.

And you on the contrary, you have a habit of becoming extra polite.

You should fix that.

Oh man.. really?

- Ahh.. big bro, the money..? - Ah don't worry, it's okay.

Because being caught gambling with mahjong could be a big scandal, I'll excuse myself.

- What...! - You're a detective?

...Mister.

"Sakura no Tou" ~ The Cherry Blossom's Tower Translation by deedlitmurata.

Why didn't you answer your cellphone?!

We were having a hard time here!

It seems so, I saw the news this morning.

Now the jurisdiction will be severily critized!

Criminal Investigations | Liaison Division Kamijo Ren

Konishi Station Mitsumoto Bank's Tamachi Branch Incident of armed suspect who barricaded himself with hostages

Why was the request for SAT rejected?!

Criminal Investigations | Division 1 Mizuki Sawa

Well, that was..

There was a clear opening in the position we expected, where the suspect was completely defenseless!

We could have attack him from behind!

Do you have any idea how long we had to wait for that moment?!

Well..

I am Kamijo, the Director of the Criminal investigation liaison division, please sit down.

There are 3 reasons of why the approval for dispatch was not granted.

First one is about necessity.

The main need for SAT dispatch is..

..for terrorists or armed groups..

..unlike today's case, the suspect was alone.

And when looking at the way the negotiations happened, it's most likely that he was an amateur.

But the suspect shot at us!

That was clearly a warning shot.

Instead, we can clearly see the state of mind of the suspect, who doesn't want to aggravate things further.

Nevertheless, if the suspect got to know about the SAT dispatch through TV or SNS..

..the suspect could have become panicked about his own shooting.

And therefore, there was high risk he could have harmed the hostages. This is the 2nd reason.

And the last reason, is the shooting point for the snipper.

Shooting from the point A that you determined..

..with the SAT rifles..

..there was high risk of penetrating the body of the suspect.

And then that stray bullet, could put the hostages in huge risks, this is a fact we can't deny.

Taking into consideration these points..

We determined that your request for SAT dispatch was not valid.

Even so..

Now, please answer these questions.

Let's organize the overview of the incident.

On April 15 at 3:03 PM in the afternoon..

..at Mitsumoto Bank's Tamachi branch, a suspicious person wearing a mask enters the store.

Immediately, he fired his gun towards the ceiling.

Ahh...!

At 3:17 PM the police cars arrived.

The culprit took a total of 19 hostages, consisting of customers and bank staff.

Don't move!

At 3:45 PM..

The culprit went outside and he shoot his gun 3 times.

After that..

The culprit requested a car for his escape through the negotiations with the police.

Then at 6:33 PM..

The culprit comes out from the bank holding the hostage Kishikawa Nobuyo.

However, there was rupture of the negotiations.

At 6:35 PM, the culprit goes back to the inside of the bank..

..and he shoots Kishikawa Nobuyo on her upper right leg.

And then, he escapes from the rear entrance.

At 6:38PM, SIT rushes in the scene.

The culprit is still on the run.

The rear entrance that the culprit used to escape..

..was not mentioned in the sketch provided by the division 1.

This year, a new emergency was added.

How come you didn't notice about this when you were there?

Because it was adyacent to a private house..

That just means you failed to notice it.

In this list of suspects..

Why is it centered only on employees who were laid off?

Because we thought the criminal might be someone who knows about this emergency exit.

If that's the case, then your misunderstanding is huge.

Didn't the culprit requested a car for his escape?

The fact that the culprit escaped using the backdoor..

..it was something that the culprit did not foresee.

So you are saying it was just a coincidence..

..that the culprit used this emergency exit?! - It's very likely that while he was barricading..

..inside the bank, he must have noticed this unmarked place by himself.

In other words, instead of calling it a coincidence..

..we can call it a failure caused by neglecting your duties in the field.

What did you say!!

Director, if that's the case, then please tell us..

What do you think is the criminal profile?

Up to this point, if you are putting our investagion in doubt..

..it must be because you have a much better idea than us.

I noticed the culprit's weapon.

As you can see, the culprit's weapon was not a simple gun.

It's a modified gun, right? I can tell that much.

- Togashi. - There's no catridge..

Criminal Investigations | Division 1 Togashi Yuma

Because there were no rifling marks on the bullet..

..It's seems it was created using a 3D printer.

If a modified gun is used, it's easier to be traced.

But, the culprit used it without hiding it.

In regards to profiling..

...it's very clear that the culprit has a strong desire of making himself known.

The culprit wanted to boast to the society about the performance of his gun.

In other words, it's highly likely that the culprit made that modified gun himself.

I already investigated that line of thought.

2 years ago, in a case where a modified gun was found..

..it was confirmed that the crime was committed by an employee of a factory that had equipment such as..

..a milling machine, since this type of gun cannot be produced using a 3D printer.

This time, we investigated thoroughly each people involved in that factory incident..

..and the result was zero involvement. - Then..

Did you that in January of this year..

..a new type of metal powder sintering 3D printer was launched for sale?

Metal powder.. huh?

Criminal Investigations | Division 1 Todoroki Keiichi

Criminal Investigations | Division 1 Takasugi Kengo

Metal powder sintering.

Metal laser sintering is a type of metal additive manufacturing or 3D printing. It’s used for both for rapid prototyping and mass production of metal parts

Metal can also be melted with this machine.

So now it has become possible to make guns the same as real ones.

This 3D printer costs about 10 million.

Moreover, it has not circulated that widely in the market yet.

If you all are as talented as you think..

..do you understand now what you should be focusing on?

Director Kamijo.. that way of speaking is not good..

Everyone..

Please investigate the company that introduced this machine.

Understood!

Thank you...

Director Kamijo, I have something very important to discuss.

What is it?

About today's lunch..

..I'm wavering between deep-fried chicken or mackerel cooked in miso set meal.

- Which one do you think it's better? - Just by looking at the excess fat in your belly..

You should not be even thinking about choices that involve meat let alone fried foods..

I see...sexual harassment confirmed!

I will forgive you with a settlement amount of 840 yen for the deep-fried set.

Still, I don't understand how can you have the nerve of choosing meat..

If one's a detective, there's no choice but to eat it, right?

You certainly have no time to be eating oil nor to be loitering around.

You're so cold...

After all the trouble of coming here to give a warning to my childhood friend..

Warning?

You are disliked by everyone.

Pff.. is that so?

That's not something that started now.

You were not like this in the past.

When we were in elementary school..

You would make strange faces and make everyone laugh.

Stop it.

Your old man must be crying from his grave.

- This is has nothing to do with my father. - I think it does.

What made you change your personality completely..

..was your father... - Because he commited suicide.

Maybe you're right, because of that I opened my eyes.

I vowed myself to never become a weak person.

Your father was not weak.

At least for me, he was a hero.

Then.. in order to carry on my father's dying wish..

..shall I become a sympathetic non-career detective with no hopes to ascend in the career ladder?

That will make my father happy in his grave for sure.

You reek of alcohol...

Come in.

Excuse me, coming in.

What is justice to you?

For me, justice is power.

Hahaha.. as expected from you, Kamijo. It's cool.

Criminal Investigations | Director Sendo Daizen

How was it? The investigation meeting.. or should I say the "kangaroo court".

Somehow I managed to shift the focus of the argument..

..however, it's very evident that the field team is very dissatisfied with the top management.

Well, that's to be expected from the field.

We, the career bureaucrats, are a necessary evil.

If we can become their entertainment "side dish" for when they go out drinking, that's more than enough.

However, in regards to Sakuma-san..

I know what you mean.

Sakuma who is like my lap dog.. he lacks ability, right?

Certainly, Sakuma has no ability to control people.

Also, his decisiveness and ability to get things done..

Criminal Investigations | Liaison Division Sakuma Yoshitaka

..is by no means at what is expected at career level.

Even so, there's only one reason to love him.

Because he's the fiancee of your beloved daughter.

Correct!

With your power, please make Sakuma a man!

Come on! don't make that scary face~

Your efficiency makes up more than enough with your unfriendliness and inflexibility.

I'm counting on you.

To begin with, the director..

..is the one who was not able to get the SAT approval go through..it's bad but come on!

Don't you think so, Akemi-chan~?

If so.. please cheer me up.

Come on...Sakuma-san, you're drinking too much!

Club "S" Hostess Oikawa Akemi

Akemi-chan doesn't like that, right?

Club "S" Mama Komiya Shiho

- Sakuma-san, what happened? -Mama!

My state of mind is in tatters already.

- I'm not joking..... -Sakuma-san, are you alright?

Don't touch me!

From here, we'll take care of things.

Then, I'll take my leave.

Hayato's... I mean, your father's death anniversary is coming soon, right?

Is that so?

Please visit his grave.

That person was my benefactor.

The fact that I still have this store until now..

It's all thanks to your father.

Thanks for your help with Sakuma-san.

Isn't that your father?

Dad!

Dad!

Dad, are you okay?

Yikes, it's cold!

Ren's Father Kamijo Hayato

Take a look at this Sawa-chan, I rescued a friend!

Thanks!

Looking at Sawa-chan's smiling face makes the cold blow away

Wow, it's really cold after all!

You should not drink since you caught a cold!

What you you like to be in the future?

Hmm...

..should I pretend you don't want me to become a police officer?

Hahaha..how audacious.

Becoming a police officer is good.

But, don't become one like me.

Why?

I'm a weak person who was strongly defeated.

If you really want to make things rights..

..you may have to sell your soul to the devil.

I'm Mizuki from the Metropolitan Police Department.

How are Nobuyo-san's injuries?

It seems the shot in her right leg caused damage to the nerves..

..and it seems she can't move it..

We were planning to travel overseas next month..

..I was so grateful because she always supported me until my retirement age.

Hehe.. she must have been very happy, right?

She told me she will go to the bank to exchange some banknotes..

Why didn't I stop you..!

I can't forgive the criminal.

Don't ever forget that feeling.

Don't let yourself be tainted by the career bureaucrats.

Yes?

I'm sorry about yesterday.

Don't mention it. Did you go back home safely after that?

Actually, I don't remember anything..

When I came back to my senses, I was in a hotel lying in bed next to a beautiful lady..

- Is everything okay with that..? - I called you because it's NOT okay...

Today I had an appointment for lunch with Yua..

Could you go on my behalf?

Couldn't you be in time for the appointment if you prepare now?

With this beauty here? no way! it would be a waste

Well, I leave it in your hands.

Oh! morning.

Hey mister, are you a police officer?

Would you make a deal with me?

Nice to meet you, I am Kamijo from the Metropolitan Police Department

Actually, Sakuma-san won't be able to come due to an urgent matter..

Sendo Daizen's Daughter Sendo Yua

Is that so..?

Would you be okay with me joining?

Sure, it's very uninspiring to eat alone anyway..

Excuse me, please 1 cola for me.

Certainly, sir.

You're not going to eat?

Usually I don't eat much at lunch time.

I see..

Are you also a career bureaucrat?

Yes, I am very indebted to your father.

So, in the Criminal investigation division..

You are out of the "elite course".

Isn't it difficult to become Comissioner of the National Police Agency or Superintendent general of the MPD..

..if you are not part of the Security division or at least part of the Secretariat class?

The top class of the police hierarchy is occupied by..

..graduates from the Toudai faction and Satsuma faction from Kyuushu?

Toudai: Tokyo University

So in the Tozama faction, with someone like my dad with no academic background and no connections..

..it's not possible to reach the top unless there's some kind of miracle occurrence.

That's a lie.

A lie?

So you are saying, dad can become comissioner or part of secretariat?

That's not it. It's your attitude.

You're making those statements on purpose in order to make me feel uncomfortable.

There's a lot of people who make specific face gestures when they are telling a lie.

This your habit of pressing down your lips.

And, after our greetings, you suddenly raised the tone of your voice..

..that was an easy sign to notice.

Isn't this.. "profiling"?

Excuse me.

- Thank you for waiting. - Go ahead.

Just as you were able to read.. everything was a lie.

I don't have the least interest in who becomes the top in the police..

It's just that you..

..you came all the way here to accompany me, just to cater to your boss..

..and that made me a bit irritated.

Ah.. please don't mention about this conversation to my dad..

Even if it's a lie.. if I mention he's not able to reach the top and such..

..I would be kicked out of home for sure!

Understood.

Then, please keep this a secret too.

Isn't that.. alcohol?

Cola dilutes splendidly in whiskey.

Err.. maybe it does, but aren't you on duty?

- Is it okay to be drinking? - Of course is not okay.

- Hey, give me a bit. - Sure, here you go.

Well, I'm leaving now.

Today was fun, it's been a long time since I laughed like this.

- Thank you for the meal. - Don't mention it.

Excuse me.

- Sorry for calling you suddenly. - No problem.

Starting today, instead of Sakuma..

..please take the lead in regards to the robbery case and work together with the Division 1.

- Me? - Sorry about this...

I have..some little things going on..

What's with this "little" of yours!

I'm so sorry!

This bastard!

I'm so sorry! please forgive me!

Get out!

It's terrible.

When it comes to my daughter, I lose my temper.

That idiot had the nerve of taking some woman to a hotel..

..and on top of that, she's a 17 years old brat.

And apparently, she said she will sell this picture to a weekly magazine.

I'm pathetic for trying to entrust my daughter to a guy like this.

About the previous case I mentioned, I will talk to the top management about it.

- Can you do it? - I will do my best.

I don't need that fake enthusiasm!

What I want are just results!

I will definitely resolve the case.

Then it's fine.

It seems the other career bureaucrats won't be able to come due to an urgent matter.

Isn't it just a boycott from the Toudai and Satsuma factions?

Security Division Director's Office

When you think about useless Sakuma's withdrawal..

..you would think he won't be sending people on his behalf and take command himself, right?

Security Division Niigaki Hiromi

Yeah, Sendo director is becoming senile.

He's impatient, right?

Besides getting a victim seriously injured he also let the criminal escape.

Security Division | Director Gondo Hideo

That guy has no way out of this.

Hurrah!

Even so..

Police Affairs Division Director's Office

..I can't agree with prioritizing merit.

But our silent resistance will surely reach the ears of the MPD's Commissioner.

Police Affairs Division Hase Dochu

Kamijo and I are from the same year.. so part of me wants him to do his best..

Even if he's able to catch the criminal the negative evaluation can't be overturned.

Police Affairs Division | Director Yoshinaga Haruki

The tough fight will continue for Tozama faction.

On behalf of Sakuma chief..

From today, I will be in charge of the investigation headquarters, together with..

..superintendent Kamijo, from the Liaison Division

I'm Kamijo. Looking forward to work with you.

What happened to the other directors and superiors?

Criminal Department | Division 1 Makizono Takafumi

- Is it a quarrel between factions again? - Mizuki..

All of those career bureaucrats who act only based on self-interest..

...for what on earth exactly are they chasing cases?!

- Mizuki! -I get it!

Have you been able to get any new information?

I investigated about the 3D printer that was mentioned the other day in the meeting.

As a result, five suspects emerged.

The first person is Oishi Daisuke

Purchasing company Simtech Gene Co. Ltd.

Date of purchase, February 10 of 2016. Price paid 40 million.

Uchiyama Tetsuya..

Kamijo-kun is still not a superintendent.

MPD Commissioner | Aramaki Takehiko

Are you okay with leaving him on charge?

There seems to be a lot of criticism from Yoshinaga-kun and Gondo-kun.

Please don't worry about it.

We will definitely meet your expectations.

Yoshinaga-kun, Gondo-kun and you are from the 85' class, right?

Yes.

Most of the time, when you guys reach this age..

..It's already decided who will become Commissioner of the National police agency and Superintendent of the MPD...

Amakudari: is the institutionalized practice where Japanese senior bureaucrats retire to high-profile positions in the private and public sectors.

..and it is expected that the rest will benefit from "Amakudari".

And your generation still has you 3 fighting each other for the position.

I apologize that we are showing an unpleasant image.

I'm aware that at the moment, I am inferior to the other two.

However, I have no intentions of withdrawing.

The way I have lived has made me become someone who is very bad at giving up.

After such a long time..how about we have a drink?

I know a very delicious place.

Is this the "delicious" place you mentioned?

Of course. This is a flavor I've been used to since I was small.

You were picking up a fight in the meeting today.

This morning we went to check the condition of Kishikawa-san who was shot in the incident.

The lower right side of her body has become paralyzed.

When there's people suffering like this..

..I wonder why can't we unite as one and work as a team?

Here you go! the dumplings! thanks for waiting.

Sawa's father Mizuki Tetsuro

Ohh! you have become a lot bigger!

- Huh? -No no no..

His height has not changed much since high school.

That's not what I mean, I mean in the sense of "big".

Because.. um.. you're a police superintendent, right?

- That is.. compared to my daughter.. - You're annoying!

That's because.. for career bureaucrats..

..If you work for 7 years, you can automatically become a superintendent.

- Oh, is that so? - On the other hand, us non-career..

..if we work hard and work hard, we could become superintendent when we are around 50 years old..

..while for career bureaucrats, at 30 years old they become superintendent..and at 35 they can be senior superintendent..

Police Superintendent

Senior Superintendent

..and then by the time they reach their 40 years old they can become chief superintendent..and after that..

Chief Superintendent

Superintendent supervisor or commissioner.. that's how I remember it.

Commissioner/Superintendent Supervisor

In addition to that, the rank only raises automatically up to superintendent only.

Recommendation is required for Senior Superintendent and above.

I don't care. This has nothing to do with people like me.

Wow, career and non-career are really different.

Please go ahead and eat.

The rank doesn't matter!

Detective's main profit should be to catch the criminals!

Are you listening when people talk?

Who do you think is the suspect of the bank robbery?

Huh?

Well..

I think it's most likely Gamo.

"Gamo Kaneto"

"When he was a college student, he established an IT company with his friends"

"In order to help the financial problems they had, he purchased a 3D printer..

..but the results didn't improve."

Why do you think it's him?

Detective's intuition.

- That's a baseless reason. - Shut up.

I've been doing this job for 10 years, you know.

- Let's go. - Huh.. where are we going?

For a date.

What?!

Where are we going exactly?

Just as you said, there's a high possibility that Gamo committed the crime.

His hobby is a survival game..

..where he is considered a legend as a firearms maniatic.

Do you listen when people talk?

Hey, wait!

We have arrived.

Airsoft: is a competitive team shooting in which participants eliminate opposing players by tagging them out of play with spherical plastic projectiles launched via replica air weapons called airsoft guns.

...Airsoft?

Gamo is here.

Wait a moment! getting in touch with the suspect without permission is a little..

It shouldn't be a problem if you have my permission.

Why do I have to do something like this..

With the face covered like this..

..I won't be able to tell who is Gamo.

Ouch! that bastard!

Ouch! that's dangerous!

Come this way.

Let's go out together. First, from the left.. ready go!

To the right!

In the middle! hit!

Hit!

Thanks for your help back there.

It was like a dream to play together with such a legend like yourself Gamo-san.

Ah...I see.

That gun is very cool.

- Is it a modified gun? - Ah.. yeah.

This was made with a 3D printer, it's a unique product.

Wow, that's so cool..

Ah, speaking of which.. in that recent incident of hostages..

..a modified gun was used, right?

Ah... is that so?

No, I didn't know about that.

But I think if it was used at such a place..

..the performance must have been good.

But I heard it was just a piece of junk that had no ability to wound nor kill anyone.

It was mentioned that its quality wasn't good because even if you shoot from close distance it wouldn't kill anyone.

Ahaha... really?

So, what do you think? Mr. Profiler.

As soon as you started talking about the incident, the blinking of his eyes increased.

He also crossed his arms suddenly..

..which is a sign of wanting to hide something and self-defense..

..and he also started to talk fast.

Moreover, when you started to criticize the performance of the gun..

..he bit his lips, showing clear discomfort.

He's definitely suspicious.

Here you go, a present.

But, why you need Gamo's fingerprints?

Gamo doesn't have any criminal record.

If his fingerprints aren't in the database, it won't match.

Then, what will you compare it with? there's no evidence.

...if there isn't, we can just fabricate it.

Criminal investigations liaison division

Hello there, acting manager.

There isn't any progress with the bank robbery case?

If the case remains unsolved, the Tozama faction will collapse.

Did you come all the way here just to tell me that?

Of course not, I came to support you.

Even if it's just as a subsitute, Kamijo-kun from my same year is taking the lead for the first time.

- So if there's anything you need, I'll cooperate. - Stop acting like such a good person!

This fellow will only be a nuisance.

- I'm not like that at all.. - You were thinking about it, right?

If this guy screws up this time with the case..

..he will be out of the promotion race for sure.

Although you have connections through your father, what are you so afraid of?

I'm not scared.

Why would I be afraid of someone like you, uh?!

- Well well, come on. - Senpai!

It seems the weapon used in the robbery case has been found.

Eh?

The weapon was found in the riverside area of Tama river.

That area is close to Gamo Kaneto's apartment.

Per the results of the forensic examination, Gamo's fingerprints were detected.

However, because the grip was missing and only the barrel portion was found..

..there is a possibility this is an attempted falsification.

Are you saying that someone is trying to put the guilt on Gamo?

There's a possibility of a grudge too.

First of all, shall we consider him as a suspect?

No.. let's request an arrest warrant.

We should be cautious here.

If it comes to be that Gamo is falsely accussed..

If that happens, I'll take responsibility for it.

Did you send that thing into the riverside area?

Is that thing even Gamo's?

What are you trying to say?

There is almost no doubt that Gamo is the criminal. The only thing left, is his confession.

I entrust you with the interrogation.

Is it really okay to request an arrest warranty?

He will definitely spit it out during the interrogation.

Failure is not acceptable this time. If we fail to climb this mountain..

You and I both will have to find an "Amakudari" destination.

Please leave this to me.

Because my motto is to never play a game that I can't win.

Do you have a trump card?

That's something that I wanted to discuss with you, Mr. Director.

You are..

Thanks a lot for helping me the other day in the survival game.

So you were a detective.

So, starting now..

I'll begin my interrogation about the Mitsumoto Bank robbery case.

On April 15th, around 3 PM, where were you?

I was at home.

Is there anyone who can prove that?

There isn't.

Gamo's.

- Hey Todoroki! -Yes!

This is the modified gun that was used for the crime.

Do you remember it?

I don't.

Your fingerprints were found in this gun.

I don't know.

Then why does it have your fingerprints?

I don't know!

It seems like it will take a long time..

Anyway, the arrest was a bit premature, right?

Excuse me!

While we were searching Gamo's home, this...

Please tell me the truth.

So..

"Detective Mizuki, can you hear me?"

Starting now, please follow my instructions for the cross-examination.

When you were a college student..

..didn't you established a company that focused on..

..video content introducing firearms?

Although, at the beginning it was profitable..

..it started to accumulate a lot of debt, and then..

..you were aiming for a recovery on January of this year..

..therefore, you bought a metal powder sintering 3D printer.

You started to produce a lot of modified guns in order to smuggle them.

When we were searching your house..

..we discovered a huge amount of modified guns there.

You were planning to pay off your debt by selling modified guns.

However, you realized..

..that is was not possible to sell a large amount of modified guns.

From there, a customer of yours who is also involved in yakuza..

..introduced you to the smuggling route.

How..?

- Did we talk about a possible route of smuggling..? -Nope!

Because the smuggling route included overseas connections..

..you were promised the sale of large amount of modified guns.

However, it was necessary to pay a referral fee of 10 million.

And because of that..

In order to get your hands on the 10 million for the referral fee..

..you attempted the bank robbery.

That's not true..

So you laid out this plan.

You laid out this plan, didn't you?!

That's not true... it wasn't me..

It was you!

The decision to aim for Mitsumoto bank to steal the money away..

..you were the one who slipped through the police's barricade using the escape route.

You planned everything!

That's not true, it wasn't me!

I was instigated by the Yakuza who demanded money from me!

If I did as planned, I could definitely succeed!

And that's why you decided to proceed with the bank robbery.

Do you admit what you did?

Sit down.

It's game over..

In the day the incident happened..

This was scattered in the floor at the bank.

This belongs to Kishikawa Nobuyo, the person you shot.

Kishikawa-san was planning together with her husband who reached the retirement age..

..to go overseas for the first time.

She probably bought these before stopping at the bank.

This many..

..how much was she looking forward to that trip.

But because she is now seriously injured..

...everything was snatched away from her.

Because of the gun you created, there's people who were very injured.

There's people whose life became out of order.

Why.. before you created this..

..and before you even shot..

..why didn't you understand that?!

Gamo spit it all out.

From now on, in cooperation with the group we will start working on searching..

for the Yakuza group who instigated Gamo into doing this robbery.

Is that so..?

How far did you go to draw this scenario..?

- What are you talking about? - Don't play dumb!

Gamo did confess.

But he denied this evidence to the very end..

The gun he used for the crime was smashed to pieces and disposed.

You fabricated this evidence, didn't you?

You attached Gamo's fingerprint which I collected to this gun..

..and used it to fabricate the evidence?

Where did you get this gun?

How much did you know about Gamo?

Let's assume I fabricated the evidence..

..what the hell is wrong with that?

What?!

As a result of this, Gamo confessed he was guilty for the bank robbery.

And because we were able to seize a large amount of guns from his home..

..we will be able to prevent future crimes.

Are you really saying that?!

What you did is crearly an abuse of power!

I can't just forgive the methods you used to trap the criminal!

So you're saying we should just let Gamo do as he pleases?

Because of him, a large amount of modified guns could have ben introduced in the market..

..and new victims could have appeared, can you still say the same thing?

Yes I can say it.

Your methods are wrong.

It's a difference in our values. There's no meaning in carrying with this conversation.

By doing something like this.. you think your dad would be happy?

Your dad didn't wanted you to become a detective like him..

..because he wanted you to become this kind of detective!

Open your eyes!

Please I'm begging you..

Stop doing things that will make your father sad!

There's something I want you to listen..

Do you you understand why..

..I decided to learn how to do profiling?

The truth is...your dad..

...I'm sorry.. it's nothing, don't worry.

That day, my father wanted to tell me something..

And I've always wanted to know what it was.

You should follow the path you believe in.

What the hell do you know!

What do you know about me?

I don't live the way that my father did..

This is the path I believed in..

Congratulations!

Thanks to you, besides resolving the case..

..we were also able to seize a huge amount of modified guns!

That helped us get a very big evaluation for our faction.

- That's great. - However..

..I was a bit surprised when I heard from you about the fabricated evidence.

- What is this? - Gamo's modified gun.

This evidence was fabricated by me.

You...say that so lightly..

The truth is, beside this particular case..

..Gamo has been marked by the police since a long time.

..in regards to mass production and smuggling of modified guns.

..Oh!

If we arrest Gamo and search his house..

..we can resolve not only the bank robbery but also this case too.

And if that happens, we can get credit for it.

With this, I still have chances to become the MPD commissioner.

But I'm a bit worried about this..

..a previously marked trafficker of modified guns..

..luckily for us, also committed the bank robbery?

Can this really be a coincidence?

How did you know Gamo was the real culprit?

Because of my detective's intuition.

Ahaha..that's cool, isn't it?

Haha..well it's okay.

I told you I wanted results, and you responded splendidly.

That's enough for me.

In the next personnel affairs meeting, I'll endorse you for the position of Senior Superintendent.

As replacement of Sakuma. Good luck!

What will happen to Sakuma-san..?

A disciplinary dismissal disguised as a voluntary resignation..

I also need to start finding a new son-in-law.

Everything went according to the plan.

Unbelievable..

Former Police Officer Kariya Ginjiro

Asking me to helping you in things like forging evidence..

After being a former detective.. why are you making me do this..

I'm grateful to you, Gin-san.

You should also be thankful to me.

Because I help you drive away Sakuma-san..

It hurts..

- To Shibuya please. - Sure!

I told you the plan before, right? I leave it in your hands.

Can I really get 100 thousand just for sleeping beside him until the morning?

When he attempts to do something, just tell him you will sell the story to a weekly magazine.

Because this guy is a detective.

Thanks to both of you, instead of Sakuma..

..I will be able to the higher ranks of the faction.

So the next step is Senior Superintendent..

But for Sendo-san to become the MPD commissioner..

-..isn't that a bit difficult? - I will make it happen.

If that person becomes the commissioner, my path will open.

Are you ready for that?

Aiming to the top comes with a lot of sacrifices.

Like in this case..

Because it was a modified gun, we took the risk since a wound caused by it won't be fatal..

..however the victim's body became paralyzed.

So if you were to feel guilty..

I already made my decision.

When you sell your soul to the devil, there are things you can't avoid.

I'll definitely climb to the top of the police force.

Ah, please leave that matter to Ishikura-san.

I understand. Please send the materials to my computer.

That voice..

"You're Gamo-san, right?"

Who is it?

"I'm looking forward to the performance of your modified guns.."

"About the Yakuza's firearms trafficking route with overseas connections.."

"..I will introduce you to it."

Really?!

"The referral fee is 10 million."

10 million?! I don't have that kind of money..

"Well then, shall I tell you about a special plan..

"..where you could get a lot of money.."

"..and also show to the world the performance of your modified guns?

A plan..?

- It can't be.. - Let's go.
