In this world,
there are three types of scammers.

"White swindlers,"
who deceive people and extort money.

"Red swindlers," who use the opposite sex
as bait and toy with people's hearts.

Then there's one who preys
only on white and red swindlers.

The best swindler in history.

A swindler who deceives other swindlers.

The Black Swindler.

Dad!

After losing my family
to a white swindler,

I abandoned my old life and was reborn.

I like you!

But why…

Why do you have to be a swindler?

I'm going to be late!

Please, don't be there.

Alright.

Huh?

An eviction notice!?

"Your failure to pay rent

despite repeated warnings
is a severe violation of the lease."

"As such, we will terminate your lease
at the end of this month--"

Did you read it?

Can you even read?
Anyway, that's how it is.

I told you I'd be getting
my paycheck soon.

It doesn't help if you say that
after the due date.

-This is so unfair!
-What?

-Is it because of what I said?
-Not at all.

-It's not like I asked for anything…
-I told you to leave from the start.

Get out, get out!

I'll pretend I didn't hear it.

You're planning to
become a prosecutor, right?

You shouldn't say such things,
even in jest.

I'll be a swindler until I die.

I know… Criminals like you!

I was going to ask you
to forget what I said.

Well, that works out perfectly.

Yes, indeed.

Take care.

Thank you very much.

Is that Katsuragi's medicine?

I heard he was a great chef.

Your father.

But he died because he got caught up
in Katsuragi's mess, didn't he?

Don't you secretly have
a grudge against Katsuragi?

You're the one

who's obsessed with your
hatred for white swindlers.

I've looked into you.

And into your father.

Mr. Katsuragi, that's bad for your health.

Just kidding.

Hurry up and tell me.

Who is this white swindler?

I don't know. Ask her.

Ms. Hayase.

Who is this?

Have you heard? He's fresh out of prison.

What?

Hiromichi Sata,
that notorious big-time swindler.

Hiromichi Sata.

The white swindler who got caught
12 years ago for scamming billions.

So, he's at it again.

This time, in Nishi-Kisarazu, Chiba.

He's created a group called
the Nishi-Kisarazu Mutual Aid Association.

And he's the chairman of the board.

A mutual aid association, huh?

But it's nothing more
than a nasty pyramid scheme.

Sounds interesting.

Sata is swindling a fortune
from unsuspecting members.

The membership fee for
the association is 10,000 yen,

but if you recruit someone else,

you will receive 2,000 yen.

-Two thousand yen?
-Yes.

And if the person you recruited
brings in someone else,

you will get 500 yen.
That's how the system works.

-Even if I didn't recruit them?
-Indeed.

You'll keep receiving money
as long as this recruitment continues

without doing anything, almost forever.

Sata is at the top of this money pyramid.

He's already amassed
over a billion yen through the pyramid.

Instead of investing that money,
he's pocketing it all for himself.

-It works just multi-level marketing.
-Exactly.

Sata exploits the lack of laws
against pyramid schemes

to pull off massive fraud.

In Kisarazu?

You don't have to do it
if you're not up for it.

Of course I'm up for it.

This looks interesting.

I'll scam Sata out of all his money.

I'll be a swindler until I die.

Sorry, Miss!

Hello?

I need to talk to you

about Mr. Kurosaki.

Why did you sell Sata out to Kurosaki?

About today's meal…

I guess the bread was alright.

Kashina and Kurosaki
are bound to clash, you know.

Want to bet on who'll win?

What's the wager?

Oh!

I forgot to set a price
for the information.

Hello, Mr. Sata!

Hello! It's a nice day, isn't it?

I recommended this association
to my neighbor, too.

It's a nice way to earn some extra cash!

I just want more people

to find out about
this wonderful association.

-Good work.
-Thank you, keep up the good work!

Excuse me.

NISHI-KISARAZU MUTUAL AID ASSOCIATION

-Mr. Hiromichi Sata.
-Oh, hello.

How's the air outside of prison?

Up to your old tricks again
despite everything?

It seems your time in prison
hasn't changed you at all.

And, who are you?

Wow.

You must have evidence on me
to talk like that.

Swindlers are all the same.

You think you can do whatever you want
without getting caught.

Excuse me.

Well, make sure to enjoy

life on the outside while you still can.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

Excuse me.

Are the police all taken care of?

I've spoken directly with the chief,
so there's no problem.

There's no evidence anyway.

But maybe it's about time to pull out.

Well, it's fine.
Good enough to bait Sata with.

So, it's finally coming to an end.

It looks like this is the end for us too.

Huh? What do you mean? I don't understand.

Wait! Why? Tell me!

If your dad's credit union goes under,
you'll lose all your money too.

Then, there's no reason to be with you.

Hey, wait!

Do you know how much money
I've spent on you?

It's time for me to go.

Ouch! It hurts here, on my shoulder!

My shoulder hurts. I'll show you later!

Aw, jeez.

Mr. Takashi Koumi?

-Who are you?
-Yay!

Yay? What do you want?

I'm Nishizaki, a freelance fund manager.

Huh?

Fund… Oh, fun-fun!

I've come to discuss
the Nishi-Kisarazu Credit Union with you.

Then talk to my dad. He's the chairman.

But you're a director, right?

I don't understand complicated stuff.

It's simple.
It's a deal where you make 10 million yen.

Ten million yen?

-Ten million, yay!
-Yay!

Yukari.

Um…

I think it's time I make my move.

Huh?

About Mr. Kurosaki.

I've never met anyone like him before.

He seems curt and unfriendly.

But he's a really kind person deep down.

Right, Tsurara?
Please help me out with Mr. Kurosaki.

I'm serious about him.

Um, Yukari…

What?

Hey, what is it?

Nothing.

Well, I'm counting on you.

I'll give you 10 million yen,
and the credit union can stay afloat.

But my dad said it's hopeless.

There's just the bankruptcy proceedings.

Actually, there's one way. Yay!

Yay! Stop saying "yay."
What do you want to do?

Sell the whole operation,
including the management.

There's no way it's that easy!

I know someone
who might be interested in buying it.

Who?

You know Mr. Sata from
the Nishi-Kisarazu Mutual Aid Association?

The big mutual aid association
they just established?

Leave it to me.
I'll take care of everything.

Who are you, really?

An angel? Why are you helping us?

I want to ask Mr. Sata
for a favor after the buyout.

I want to manage the funds.

Oh… So what do you want me to do?

To bring up the buyout,

we need Mr. Sata to trust us.

I want your dad to sign
a power of attorney for me.

-A power of attorney?
-Yes.

A document granting me
full authority to manage the buyout.

I'm smiling but that's impossible.
My dad doesn't have any faith in me.

Sorry, but no can do. See you.

You just need to get
your dad's stamp on this document.

It's upside down.

I'll give you 10 million yen
if you do that.

Just the stamp?

Just the stamp. Yay!

Yay!

Right here.

All I need is his stamp here?
Soutarou. That's my dad.

You're Deputy Inspector Kashina?
I've heard about you.

What about the Mutual Aid Association
are you investigating?

Hiromichi Sata is a swindler.

That mutual aid system
is a pyramid scheme in disguise.

What?

That's a legitimate association.

When a member recruits someone,

they receive a kickback
of 20% of the membership fee.

That system is clearly
a pyramid scheme in disguise.

They might not even be managing the funds.

I don't know
who you've been talking to, but--

I understand
what you're saying perfectly well.

However, this is our problem.

He's already contacted you, hasn't he?

I'm aware that numerous influential
townspeople are in the association.

The chairman of the shopping district,
local council members,

and even you, the police chief.

I'll investigate this case on my own.

NISHI-KISARAZU POLICE STATION

Please prepare
all the documents for the acquisition

immediately.

I'm going to sleep.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

How is Kashina involved in all of this?

Did you see him?

He hasn't noticed me, though.

Why is he chasing a white swindler
outside his jurisdiction?

Thirty-three years ago,

there was a white swindler

who was arrested
for a large-scale pyramid scheme.

His name was Shinichiro Nozoe.

He was Masaru Kashina's biological father.

Masaru Kashina…

In other words,
Masaru Nozoe's father was arrested

when he was only two years old.

Worried about Masaru's future, his mother
removed him from the family registry.

So, she gave him up for adoption?

No.

In the records,
Masaru Nozoe died at the age of two.

After that, the Kashina family
registered him as their child.

So there's a two-year difference
between his official age and his real age.

Masaru Kashina officially died
at the age of two

and has been living as a different person.

All this time.

Just like you,

his life was ruined by a white swindler.

Kashina is chasing Sata because
his methods are the same as his father's.

Ms. Hayase,

why are you telling me about Kashina?

I want you to be careful.

Recently, Kashina has started
investigating Mr. Katsuragi.

Don't mess up and cause trouble for him.

I don't know what
Mr. Katsuragi's intentions are,

but I'm worried.

Mr. Katsuragi's interest in you

might destroy him one day.

If possible,
I'd rather you just disappear.

I'm sorry

but that's not possible.

I haven't finished devouring
all the white swindlers in the world yet.

VIOLATION OF INSURANCE ACT

This is it.

You're still at it?

I've found the key to arresting Sata.

The key?

Sata's Mutual Aid Association

is an unlicensed operation that only
targets residents of Nishi-Kisarazu.

So, if Sata has been enrolling residents
from outside Nishi-Kisarazu,

he's breaking the law.

Um…

We need to find someone
from outside Nishi-Kisarazu

who has joined
Sata's Mutual Aid Association.

If we find even one person,
we can arrest Sata.

For a separate charge?

I'll take down Sata no matter what.

Just like you,

his life was ruined by a white swindler.

I'm not giving Sata to anyone.

EVICTION NOTICE

Ms. Yoshikawa,
don't you like Mr. Kurosaki too?

So it's true?

But he's a swindler.

My feelings are just a burden to him.

Nice to meet you. I'm Nishizaki.

I've been expecting you. I'm Sata.

This is Takashi Koumi,
executive director of

the Nishi-Kisarazu Credit Union.

He's also the chairman's son.

Ah, the Credit Union. Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.
-Please, have a seat.

By the way, you mentioned that

you were looking for a buyer
for the Credit Union over the phone.

Yes, the Nishi-Kisarazu Credit Union
has a 36-year history.

It would be a shame to let it go bankrupt,

so I've come to ask for your help.

This is the power of attorney
from Chairman Soutarou Koumi.

I see.

I can see that you have
Chairman Soutarou Koumi's trust.

You also seem to get along well
with the executive director.

By the way,
why did you come to me with this?

Mr. Sata, you're
highly trusted in this town…

There's no need for formalities.

You're not from this town,

and you're a fund manager by trade, right?

You have nothing to gain

by helping with the buyout.

Don't you think so, Mr. Nishizaki?

Actually, he has a favor
he wants to ask of you.

-Mr. Koumi…
-Go ahead and just spill it.

Uh, what was it again?

Actually, I'd like you to entrust me
with a portion of the funds

from your Mutual Aid Association.

I promise you won't lose anything.

There's a promising
foreign investment opportunity.

I see.

I'm sorry. As a freelancer,
things can be a bit tough.

No worries.
We all need to help each other out.

It's important
to support one another, right?

Just like your Mutual Aid Association.

Yes, exactly!

I'd like to show you around the Union.
How about it?

That's fine, but first…

How much are you considering
for the buyout?

How about 600 million yen?

Hmm, 600 million yen…

Why are you going along with this?

It's clear that he asked
to manage the funds just for the money.

We'll use that to our advantage.

We'll buy out the Credit Union

and move the mutual aid funds
into its assets.

If we manage the funds through
a legitimate financial institution,

no one will suspect it's a scam.

I see.

It's like having a gigantic piggy bank.

Your daughter is married
in neighboring Nishi-Kisarazu, right?

Oh, yes.

Has she mentioned anything about
the Nishi-Kisarazu Mutual Aid Association?

Yes, she says it's a great association.
She's a member too.

-Are you a member yourself?
-No.

Only people living
in Nishi-Kisarazu can join, right?

Tsurara.

I just went to Mr. Kurosaki's place
but he wasn't there.

Out hunting scammers again?

I wouldn't know.

You're still against what he does, huh?

I mean, his swindling.

Of course I am.

Why are you so against it?

Mr. Kurosaki is always helping victims.

That's true.

Sometimes, I do think that.

Maybe what he's doing

is the same thing
I want to do as a prosecutor.

Then, isn't that alright?

But I feel like
it would be wrong to admit it.

It's not just because it's a crime
or anything like that.

It's hard to put into words, though.

I have to get to class.

See you tomorrow.

Yeah.

RENOVATION WORK

-Watch your step!
-Thank you.

-How is it?
-Oh, it's wonderful!

We're tearing out the floors
to build a brand-new building.

You, Mr. Sata,
will be the owner, of course.

I couldn't be happier
if it serves the local community.

We'll send over
the necessary paperwork later.

Yes, thank you.

Thank you.

DEMOLITION WORK

Oh, it was demolition work!

So, you're telling me that this Nozoe

is my real father?

That's right.

I found out through
my connections within the police.

Kashina,

why don't you join the police force
after you graduate?

People like you were created

by the greed of humans
who have forgotten reason.

In today's society,

reason is governed by law.

And those of us who enforce that law

are the police.

You, who had your real name
taken by a swindler,

should understand the importance
of our mission better than anyone.

Kashina,

join the police.

NISHI-KISARAZU MUTUAL AID ASSOCIATION

Hey, are you all right?

Stay away from Sata.

Oh my. Your tone is different from usual.

You must be really desperate.

I can't let Sata escape

because of your petty meddling.

I know why you have
such a hatred for white swindlers.

And why, despite being a career officer,
you're always out in the field.

You'll never make it to the top
because your father is a swindler.

Tough luck.

Why don't you just quit the police?

You'll never beat white swindlers
while you're there.

And you think you're winning?

The moment you broke the law
and became a swindler,

you lost to the white swindlers.

Keep telling yourself that.

-Do you know why the law exists?
-What?

"Do not kill."

Do you know why
that had to be made into a law?

Lecturing me?

Because humans kill each other.

The law against stealing exists

because humans steal.

Humans are inherently flawed.

That's why people like you exist.

Right, maybe you should
become a law professor.

It's easy to break the law

and take justice into your own hands.

Just like this.

This is what you're doing.

Ignoring order

and using force to suppress others.

This is the way you live.

Stop trying to act cool.

You're just running away.

You're clinging to your fake self

even after you've learned the truth.

It's pathetic.

You're scared of going back to being
the son of a white swindler, aren't you?

Stop it!

Please stop!

You can't do whatever you want
just because you're a cop!

Are you okay?

-Let me go.
-Just let me.

I'm sorry.

You're still here?

Ouch…

Are you all right?

It's none of your business.

Why do you insist on being a swindler

when you have to go through all this?

Sadness

usually fades with time.

But your sadness will never heal
if you keep this up!

You'll only become more sad.

That kind of life

is just too painful.

You asked me before

if I'm happy.

I don't need happiness.

I…

don't need anything.

Not friendship,

not love,

and certainly not your cheap pity.

Please, just stop it.

Hurry and get out.

Is that true?

Yes. The Nishi-Kisarazu
Mutual Aid Association, right?

That's right.

My daughter, who got married
and moved to Nishi-Kisarazu last year,

told me about this
great mutual aid association.

-You're a member too?
-Yes.

Just to confirm, your official residence

is in Higashi Kitayama,
not Nishi-Kisarazu, correct?

Yes, that's right.

I see.

A violation of the Insurance Business Act?

Sata's mutual aid association
has members from outside Nishi-Kisarazu.

This is clearly a violation
of the Insurance Business Act.

You'll arrest him on a separate charge?

Why are you nitpicking over minor details?

Punks like him exist
because of lazy cops like you

who just sit around drinking tea.

Hurry up and get me a warrant.

Oh, Mr. Nishizaki.

The buyout process is almost complete.

Could you please transfer
the 600 million yen as promised?

Understood.

The transfer should be made
to the account of Soutarou Koumi,

the chairman of the Credit Union.

Don't make any mistakes.

No problem.

Thank you very much.

Stairs are so tiring.

NISHI-KISARAZU MUTUAL AID ASSOCIATION

Oh my! What's wrong?

We have an arrest warrant
for Hiromichi Sata. Where is he?

-Customer number 124, please.
-Yes.

Welcome.

-I'd like to make a transfer.
-Okay.

You'd like to transfer 600 million yen
from your account, correct?

Yes.

Please confirm
the transfer destination once more.

It's fine. There's no mistake.

Understood. Please wait a moment.

Sure.

CHIBA DAIICHI BANK

Sorry.

-Find him!
-Yes, sir.

This is Nishizaki.

Ah, Mr. Nishizaki,
I've just transferred the 600 million yen.

I see.
I'd like to give you the final contract.

Can you come to the Credit Union?

Yes, I'm heading there right now.

See you soon. Yes.

Yay.

BAY CITY
PLANNED CONSTRUCTION SITE

Mr. Sata?

Mr. Nishizaki, what's going on?

As you can see,
the credit union no longer exists.

That's ridiculous! What about the buyout?

That's not going to happen.
It's gone, you idiot.

You've lost.

Bang!

You transferred 600 million yen
into my account yourself.

Don't mess with me! I transferred it
to Soutarou Koumi's account!

Are you stupid?

And you call yourself a white swindler?

It's easy to change
the name on an account, you idiot.

There isn't only one
Soutarou Koumi in this world.

Even if it's the same name,
if you have proof of a different address,

it's a different individual
with the same name.

Then you can open
a new account under that name.

Don't mess with me!
Give me back my money, you bastard!

You'd better hurry up and run.

The police will be there soon.

I don't really care if you get caught,

but I despise

the cop who's coming for you.

It would be annoying if you get caught.

What do you mean?!

Hiromichi Sata,

you're under arrest for violating
the Insurance Business Act.

You allowed people
from outside Nishi-Kisarazu

to become members
of your Mutual Aid Association.

Excuse me.

What are you doing?! Call my lawyer!

Call my lawyer! I'm suing for fraud!

Sorry, I think I talked a little too long.

Kurosaki?

No matter what happens,

I'll keep going after white swindlers.

I won't let anyone get in my way.

I'll put an end to you.

I'll end your cycle of revenge.

Pleasure working with you.

Here's your fee.

Will 100 million be enough?

Don't ask me.

It's up to you.

Did you have fun?

People are worried about you

because you care about me too much.

Bang!

Entertain me more.

And then…

I'll give you my heart.

What is it?

THREE FAMILY MEMBERS DEAD

Mr. Kurosaki became a swindler

to avenge his family, didn't he?

You were against it
even though you knew this?

Revenge doesn't accomplish anything.

I don't think this will save him.

It'll only make him suffer more.

Tsurara, you don't understand

the feelings of someone
who's never been loved.

So you can't say
that you love Mr. Kurosaki.

I happened to overhear
when you told him how you feel.

You knew about my feelings,

so how could you?

I'm sorry.

I love Mr. Kurosaki too.

That's why I want to accept
all of his feelings, including his desire

to avenge his family.

I think that's what it
truly means to love someone.

Unlike you,

I can understand Mr. Kurosaki.
