Original subtitles

It was...

unforgettable.

That day happened to be Tanabata.

It was meant to be.

I was overcome with passion.

The fire of destined love surrounded us.

I will convince my family.

So...

Please seriously consider our marriage.

I don't approve of this.

Why does it matter that my future wife...

is not a police officer?

"Police officer"?

The Sakuraba family only accepts those involved in policing.

I'm willing to do anything to marry Hana.

Well then,

become an officer in the First Division first.

Only then will I approve you marrying Hana.

Well then, Kazuma.

Go and catch them.

Who?

The L clan.

Careful planning and fearless action.

Super thieves who leave no trace behind.

Just like the well-known gentleman thief,

Arsène Lupin.

He is not even good enough to be our adopted son.

Adopted son?

Since you do not wish to take over the family business,

we would need to adopt someone.

The L clan is going to disappear if I don't do something.

The day where stealing...

changes the way the world operates will come.

You will get it one day.

Give up on the girl.

Kazu.

Why is that so?

Why are you a police officer?

Kazu.

For all the crimes you've committed,

learn penitence.

(Investigative Report)

(Subject: Mikumo)

Due to the marriage plan,

a check was conducted on the Mikumos' background.

This is part of the police protocol. It's a compulsory measure.

I'm sorry.

My family is...

Your dad is actually a senior social creator?

Senior?

I heard he is very active all over the world.

Right.

After I told my family that,

they wanted to meet your dad before he travels again.

Sure, but if it's such short notice...

Actually, they're already here.

Like I said, who am I kidding?

A family of thieves meeting a family of police officers?

Please, come in.

- Dear. - Granny, get the tuna.

- Leave it to me. - Wataru, Ladybug Three.

Please come in.

Ms. Hana, there are five people in your family, right?

There are five pairs of shoes in different sizes.

Yes, right.

Besides my mom and dad,

I live with my grandma and brother.

Does your family not go out often?

What?

The soles of the shoes don't look worn.

They are indeed a family of police officers.

They're suspecting the shoes that are actually a disguise.

Don, what's the matter?

Don't be like that.

This is not a crime scene.

-Don. -Please come in.

I'm sorry.

We took up your precious time with your parents.

It's all right.

But they might have gone out to shop.

Please.

I hope no one is at home.

Please come in.

That's great.

Danger!

Why are they here?

Kazuma, welcome.

Don, wait.

Well, the whole family is here.

Sorry for the sudden visit.

My family wanted to visit no matter what.

I'm Kazuma's dad, Sakuraba.

I'm his mom, Misako.

Also,

this is our watchdog, Don.

I'm sorry, we even bring our dog here.

It's all right.

I'm Hana's mom, Mikumo Etsuko.

I'm her dad, Mikumo Takeru.

Dad.

Let them have a seat first.

Dad.

Let's have a seat first.

What's with the strange atmosphere?

Have they found out already?

The police and the thieves...

are each other's enemies.

Dad, what's wrong?

I smell something.

Indeed, they realized it.

We smell it too.

Yes.

Gosh, if I don't pull them away...

-There's a burning smell. -There's a burning smell.

I burnt it!

Grandma?

I asked her to prepare some food for the guests.

I told you so.

Why did you do something out of the norm?

That won't do.

I'll get a new one.

- Don't. It's all right. - No.

I'll be right back.

Here, please have a seat.

- Sorry to bother you. - Don.

Please.

Where's the dog?

Wait, Dad...

Please don't do that. Everyone is here.

Is he stupid?

Hana.

What's the matter?

No, it's nothing.

That's enough. Please let time pass quickly.

(Daughter of Lupin: Episode 2)

- Public officer? - Yes.

- The Sakuraba family are all... - Public officers, right?

Even your great grandfather is the same.

- Yes. - Really?

You're all public officers?

Not just you, but your parents too?

What's wrong with being public officers?

Nothing.

People in the public sector have a rigid image.

I'm not used to it.

Getting paid from national tax of the people.

If it were me, I would feel so embarrassed.

I wouldn't be able to walk tall.

It's more embarrassing to be a thief.

It's precisely because we are paid with the national tax,

so we are responsible and obligated to ensure the people's safety.

That might be the case,

but I honestly hate it.

Public officers are my most hated people in the world.

Hey, Dad.

After all, they're very conservative.

Grandma.

Pardon me for being blunt.

Your occupation,

senior whatever.

What exactly are you doing?

Senior social creator?

Yes.

Like it says, a social creator.

I don't get it.

The words "social creator" doesn't make sense.

Adding the word "senior" to it makes it worse.

- Dad. - It's a suspicious title.

Mom, not you too.

Please tell us specifically, what is your job scope?

Currently,

I'm planning, managing and designing the infrastructure construction...

for developing countries in Asia.

For the children of the future generation,

we're also building schools.

We're creating a better society for the nation.

In short, that's it.

That means you're a thief who gets involved in everything...

to gain benefits.

A thief?

How dare you accuse my husband of being a thief?

He is a thief.

Dad, you're being offensive.

Honestly, I hate it.

The people I hate most in this world...

are people with suspicious titles.

That's why I said it's impossible.

How could a family of thieves be on friendly terms...

with a family of police officers?

Did your grandpa play baseball?

No, that's mine.

When I was young, I used to play with my dad.

That's a memory of it.

My dad used to be in the baseball team when he was a student.

Right?

Yes.

At Meisei High School in Nerima.

I was a catcher, number four.

Meisei High School?

I was from Higashinakano High School.

I was an outfielder. Number one.

- Really? - Really?

May I ask how old you are?

I'm 55 years old this year.

I'm 56 years old.

That means...

we might have played against each other.

I remember.

The second game of the West Tokyo competition.

I remember now. The second half of the ninth game.

The second half of the ninth game, right?

The game ended because of an excellent base-stealing.

That was me.

So you're that Sakuraba!

- Yes. - What a pleasure.

They found similar interests?

I knew you were good at base-stealing.

I was so cautious of you,

but I lost.

I love excellent base-stealing.

I won't be caught...

for stealing a base.

Don't talk about anything unnecessary.

- What an interesting person. - Etsuko, bring me a bottle of sake.

Okay.

- Let's have a drink. - Not bad. Let's drink.

Let's have tuna to go with the sake.

Although it's burnt on the outside, it should taste fine.

I'm sorry.

I need to use the washroom.

Here, this way.

It's there.

Listen, Kazuma.

Marriage...

does not concern only the two of you,

but the two families.

The two families must be on good terms.

I know.

Just based on this, I like Takeru.

Right?

They're good parents.

But they look down on our occupations.

People who play baseball are never bad.

That's my stand.

I think it's not the minority.

Dad, as promised,

I'll marry Hana after becoming an officer in the First Division.

I approve.

Thank you. I will work hard.

Hold on.

I find the family strange.

What do you mean?

There are no signs of living.

What are you talking about?

Hana has been living there.

Stop picking on people.

I'm not picking on them.

It's just that they're all public officers.

And they're no ordinary public officers.

What?

Nothing.

But your dad said he liked Kazuma's dad.

I know it.

Speaking of which,

when did Dad become a senior social creator?

We asked Wataru.

Wataru?

To be prepared for a background check at any time,

we asked him to fake an experience.

Then, you should go for a more ordinary occupation.

Why did he have to call himself a senior?

I'm back.

Welcome back.

What is that?

Isn't it obvious that it's a Trojan horse?

Because Mom said she wants one, so you brought one back for her?

That's pretty useless.

It feels like you can go back to childhood by riding on it.

(Sunflower Library)

Kazuma's mom?

A phone scam?

Yes, I'm afraid that's it.

This morning, an elderly living alone in Setagaya...

reported that he was robbed at home.

That is the fifth case of the month.

We made him wait here.

Excuse me.

I'll go straight to the point.

Please break up with Kazuma.

You're not suitable to be the bride for the Sakuraba family.

The Sakuraba family has always married fellow police officers.

We abide by the inherited rules of our ancestors.

I can't allow my son to break the rule.

I understand.

I know someone like me...

isn't good enough for Kazuma.

So...

I'll break up with him.

Well.

I feel more at ease hearing that.

Then, please end it quickly.

Sure.

By the way,

you look dignified and elegant.

I didn't think you'd be very athletic.

Someone who claims to be your son called you.

Right. This morning,

someone called me, sounding flustered.

Pervert?

Sorry, Dad.

I was tempted.

What did you do?

I'm really sorry.

But she said as long as I pay, she won't report me.

I need 150 million dollars.

You need 150 million dollars?

So you said you'll prepare it?

Yes.

The other party's lawyer will come to our house for the money.

They told me to wait at home.

But I thought it was strange.

So I called my son.

And then the police called.

Have I been scammed?

Yes, the man who called you earlier...

and claimed to be your son is wanted.

I see.

They said they want to arrest the offender,

so they'll be monitoring the situation nearby.

If a man who claims to be a lawyer comes,

they told me to pass the money to him.

Did you hand over the money?

No. I didn't see any police officers.

so I told him to wait.

Then he attacked me and ran away with the money.

It can't be wrong.

It's the typical tactic used...

for phone scams these days.

Phone scam?

They first make a call to confirm if you have money,

then they'll find a way to scam your money.

How could this happen?

My wife was hospitalized due to cerebral infarction last year.

Life is tough enough from paying for the treatment.

Please help me, officer.

Please.

Please arrest them.

Please.

Okay.

We'll definitely arrest them.

I came back from Casablanca.

It's me, Enzoji.

Why do you look so down, Hana?

It's nothing.

Seems like...

you haven't broken up with him.

Sometimes I wonder

Why

I was born

If I could be born again

And be all naked again

How I wish to be reborn.

If I could be born again

And be an ordinary girl

I wish to be reborn.

If I could be born again

With my pure and true heart

I wish to be destined

- To meet with you again - To meet with you again

Bravo, Hana.

Well said.

Perhaps you just try to make him hate you.

Make him hate me?

Breaking up with him when he loves you so much.

Don't you think this is selfish?

But how do I make him hate me?

It's very simple.

Breaking up with him when he loves you so much.

Don't you think this is selfish?

But how do I make him hate me?

It's very simple.

Excuse me.

Hello, Hana?

Are you still at work?

Yes, what's the matter?

Just be willful.

Come see me immediately.

What? Now?

Yes.

Ignore his circumstances.

I want to see you.

What happened?

Nothing. I just want to see you.

But right now, I'm...

There has been a rise in phone scams in Setagaya recently.

I'm working on it.

It's best if he is busy at work.

When you say it, you win.

Choose between me and your job

Kazu.

Why?

What happened, Hana?

Me or your job.

What?

Me or your job, which is...

Which is more important?

You don't have to choose.

Okay.

Do your best at work.

Bye.

I couldn't say it.

What happened to Hana?

Kazuma.

- We caught the phone scammer. - What?

I'm back.

That's great.

Dear.

I'll definitely get this.

I know. Put it down.

Wataru, are you done yet?

Not yet. It's pretty complex this time.

Hurry.

What are you stealing this time?

This.

It is said to be Hideyoshi's favorite golden tea kettle.

It's also said that Sen no Rikyū angered Hideyoshi...

and was asked to be disemboweled as he looked down on this tea kettle.

Isn't it beautiful?

I don't know much about tea kettles.

Forget it.

Are you going to steal it from someone dangerous again?

That's right. This man is our target this time.

He is the general manager of a company...

that provides elderly care services.

Why him? Isn't he a good person?

- Who are you working for? - I don't know.

How can you not know?

That's why I said I've received emails periodically.

There are lists of the families that I have to collect money from.

This is the name list he talked about.

(Name List for Money Collection)

What's going on?

He is just going around collecting money based on this name list.

In other words, he is just a small fry.

He was just carrying out orders.

He doesn't know anything about the organization.

He's only in charge of sending money to the designated place.

And then he gets paid.

There's someone else manipulating them behind.

Right.

The mastermind makes use of social media platforms...

to recruits these members easily.

Even if someone gets caught,

they'll get off scot-free.

Darn it.

Where exactly is the mastermind hiding?

There have been many phone scams happening in this area, right?

Yes.

He is the mastermind behind that.

This person?

This is how it works.

Elderlies who need people to take care of them...

will fill out the form about their details on the website.

Then, they'll get their addresses, names, and telephone numbers.

They just need their subordinates to make the phone calls...

and get part-timers to collect the money.

That's too much.

How could they do that?

He is a despicable man who picks on the weak.

But how did you find out about him?

I did some research.

Did you do it, Wataru?

Yes, right.

When I was looking for new targets,

I found this man...

using three billion dollars to bid for Hideyoshi's tea kettle.

The strange thing is their company's sales are not doing well.

I hacked into their company's CCTV...

to see where they get the money from.

And then I found out about this.

That's brilliant.

With such outstanding research abilities,

you can be a police officer too, Wataru.

No way, I'm a nerd.

We'll steal the kettle...

from the despicable man who pretends to be a good man.

He has to be punished.

What do we do?

We've set up the bait.

Right, Mom?

Not a problem.

It's nothing difficult.

Hana, do you want to give it a try?

No, thanks.

She is still not at the age to be nostalgic about childhood.

Hana.

You must feel lonely now.

I can't meet you today, sorry.

Kazu.

But I have to catch the criminals no matter what.

Because that's my mission.

I swore...

I'll never forgive those who treat the elderly like a cash machine.

So, Hana...

Sorry.

Hana.

I hope you can bear with me.

Just so that you won't feel lonely at night,

I'll record video clips for you.

I promise you.

See you tomorrow then.

What do I do?

I know who the mastermind is.

I should tell him.

But if I do...

How do you know who is the mastermind?

That's because...

Just tell me the truth, Hana.

I looked into the artwork that the general manager bid for and...

Artwork?

Why did you research on it?

Could it be that...

you're part of the L clan?

No.

I can't do that.

Hana.

After all, you don't want Kazu to hate you.

Think about it.

If you're prepared to be hated by him,

let him know that you're part of the L clan.

It's Kazu's job to arrest the bad guys.

If you love him, tell him the truth.

That's true.

How could you tell him the truth?

Do you want to ruin the L clan?

I know.

The last time you stole something,

you were actually quite excited, weren't you?

It has awakened, right?

The genes of a thief that has long been lying inside you.

No, I don't.

Come on.

Let's steal the golden tea kettle.

No.

You have to tell Kazu the truth.

No way.

You have to hide the truth from him.

I don't know.

What should I do?

Mom.

It's me, Takeru.

Takeru? What's the matter?

Actually...

I harassed someone.

Harassed? Where did you touch her?

That's not the main point.

How's the situation now?

She said that I have to pay her...

two million dollars to settle it.

He is taking the bait so soon.

So where did you touch her?

Mom.

Don't you have two million dollars?

Sorry.

Can't you just apologize to her?

Hello.

Hana, what's the matter?

I want to see you now.

Didn't you see last night's video clip?

I saw it. But right now,

I still want to see you.

Come to my place to pick me up right now.

But I'm working.

I have to see you no matter what.

- Can't we meet at night? - No.

I want to see you now.

But I have a meeting later on.

What's more important, your job or me?

Wait for me near my place.

I'll call you again.

Hana.

Kazuma, the meeting is about to begin.

- All right. - Come on.

That's it.

Goodbye, Kazu.

Listen, Mom.

Someone who claims to be a lawyer will come later.

We have to catch him to find out where the stolen goods are.

How many times do I have to repeat myself?

It's not a problem.

He is here.

Kazu.

Gosh, Mom.

He is not the lawyer. He is Hana's boyfriend.

I messed up.

Why did he come now?

I told him to wait.

He is here. Gosh!

Move him aside.

Excuse me, I'm a lawyer.

Poor thing.

It'll take him some time to wake up.

I messed up.

But I have to catch the criminals no matter what.

Because that's my mission.

I swore...

I'll never forgive those who treat the elderly like a cash machine.

We got the location.

Let's go, Etsuko.

Hana, we'll leave him with you.

Hold on, I'm going too.

I'll let you catch the criminal red-handed.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I've got the money.

The money collectors are mostly part-timers.

They communicate via email and never expose their appearance.

- This is your commission. - Thank you so much.

Sorry, don't move.

I got the money. Heading back now.

The golden tea kettle is at the office building's top level.

It's in the manager's office.

Got it.

Be careful.

Mikumo Matsu, two million dollars.

Got it.

But only a few authorized personnel are allowed to enter the office.

And the secretary's desk is by the door of the manager's office.

The secretary is in name only.

He is actually a militant who is responsible for defense.

That means if we want to enter the manager's room,

we have to crack the security system of the entrance...

without being discovered.

The sunglasses man is on the move.

Let's go.

The sunglasses man is heading towards Inokuma's office building.

(Highly-concentrated sleeping spray, ZZZ)

It's so hot.

My makeup is melting.

I like you without makeup too.

Gosh, say that again.

- I... - Let's get going.

Inokuma is heading towards the car park in the basement.

My legs are swollen.

Fortunately, we caught up.

Go, Ladybug Three, edited version.

(Ladybug Three, edited version)

Etsuko.

(Super Directional Amplifier, MIGP)

No. Stop.

No.

One more time.

No.

No. Stop.

Even in such a place...

Don't.

Now, go.

Move forward.

(Stealth Camouflage)

I'm a little bothered by it.

Isn't this the plot of some movie?

You must be mistaken.

Stop chatting. Keep going.

Stop.

No. Stop.

Move forward.

Hey, Etsuko.

My legs are swollen from all the running.

It's inclined, that's bad.

Stop.

That's not good.

What's that?

We got discovered. It's bad. Run!

What do we do?

Make him sleep.

- Take this! - No, don't.

- No. Stop. - You!

I messed up.

You can't make up for it no matter how cute you sound.

You moron. Reflect on yourself.

Hey, Wataru.

Watch how you talk to your mom!

Let's go.

Wait. Don't leave me behind!

Great!

We finally see the treasure.

So this is three billion dollars.

(Searching)

Hold it tight.

Hold on.

There's an alarm system.

We have to get rid of it first.

Why is it so troublesome?

Inokuma is coming back.

(Searching)

(Searching)

(Searching)

(Search completed)

(Name List)

(Copying)

He is here.

(Copying)

What happened?

Hey!

(Copying)

There are intruders. Call the guards over.

Find a replacement.

(Copying)

Quick.

(Copy completed)

It has been stolen.

How does it feel...

to have something important stolen from you?

Who are you?

You only oppress the weak.

On behalf of those cheated by you,

let me avenge them.

Who exactly are you?

What are you talking about?

It's your tough luck meeting me today.

For all the crimes you've committed,

learn penitence.

It's Hana indeed.

That was cool.

You're becoming more like a thief.

That's bad. Their reinforcement is coming.

All right, let's go.

Kazu.

Wake up.

Kazu.

I'll go straight to the point.

Please break up with Kazuma.

Hana.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

That's great.

Who is this?

Don't you remember?

You caught him.

Did I?

My grandma almost fell for the phone scam.

So I called you over.

Phone scam?

He is the person in charge of collecting the money.

I think so.

This...

Looks like there's evidence of the crime in it.

Go. Hurry.

Go.

Well done, Kazuma.

Okay.

I didn't expect to find the mastermind...

from a scam at your girlfriend's place.

I was shocked as well...

that someone like him would hold on to evidence like this.

According to his statement, he didn't know that as well.

We might have to investigate further.

Sure.

By the way,

they seem to have appeared again.

Inokuma said he was attacked by someone in a fancy costume.

It sounded like a woman.

It's a woman again?

Not only that.

His secretary said there were more than one.

More than one?

There's no doubt about it this time.

Was it the L clan?

Where exactly are they hiding?

Kazuma.

Where's your police badge?

According to the police investigation,

the suspect, Inokuma made use of his elderly care company...

to obtain personal information of the elderly to commit fraud.

There are more than 3,000 victims.

He has cheated more than...

13 billion dollars worth of money from the elderly.

The victims have...

Beautiful. I can't get my eyes off it.

Then go closer.

No, if I am too close to it...

We've interviewed the victim.

He'll die a painful death.

Mom?

No one should be cheating anyone of their money.

Grandma, that's enough.

Hana is there too.

If you want to cheat anyone, play fair and bring it on.

They got what you mean.

- Stop those phone scams. - Hey.

That's Hana's family, right?

Watch me beat you up!

Grandma, don't do this.

You're cheating other's money this way.

If you have to do it, go for the rich people.

There are many bad people in this world.

Please.

Don, what's the matter?

What's the matter, Don?

Hana.

Sorry to have kept you waiting.

You haven't had dinner, right? Let's go together.

Hold on.

Today,

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

Sorry, we have...

This is yours, right?

Grandma!

- Yes. - You dropped it at our place.

Oh no.

Really? Sorry to trouble you.

- Sorry. - Please don't find out.

So Hana's boyfriend is a police officer?

Oh no.

That gave me a shock.

When did it happen?

When did she find out?

Could it be that day...

Excuse me, I'm looking for Hana.

That's great. I almost got punished.

Please let me buy you a meal.

Really.

Hana, let's go.

Shall we have fish?

- Yes, I love it. - Is that so?

Hana.

(To be continued)

What would they do if they find out Kazu is a police officer?

Break up with him.

It won't work out.

I'll find out.

Her real identity.

I'm about to deliver the baby!

There will not be a good ending to your relationship.

Learn penitence.

Can you let me tell the truth?
