ATSUSHI MATSUYAMA - CUSTOMS OFFICER

Looks pretty rough over there…

-It's not gonna taste like my homemade. -Passport, please. Your passport, please.

RAN FUKAZAWA - CHIEF HEARING OFFICER

Matsuyama, let that man through.

IMMIGRATION OFFICER (MINISTRY OF JUSTICE) AKIHIKO SEIKE

Let him through before he suspects us.

Was it really all right to let him pass?

It's okay.

"That thing" has happened.

No more bets.

These are this week's earnings.

Police, don't move!

Hey!

-Hurry! -Don't touch anything!

Don't run! Hey!

Don't move!

So this is where the underground casino was. Okay.

Thank you for leading us here.

So that man was the operator of an underground casino?

And that's why he was intentionally let through.

He spotted it in that single moment.

Chief Hearing Officer Fukazawa really is amazing.

If we had stopped him at the gate, it probably wouldn't have led to a raid.

Still working?

We've got one more push.

Four tempura soba and three duck nanban.

Okay.

And inari sushi as well, please.

-I'm sorry. The inari sushi is sold out. -What…

Look, her…

She ate all of it.

All of it?

I think she ate about ten pieces.

Coming.

-Oh my… -That will be 2,500 yen.

-Do you have a parking ticket? -Yes.

KUUKYO

KANTO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TERMINAL 2

Well, I'm heading off.

Hey, are you sure I shouldn't come with you to the airport?

It's fine, it's fine.

He ended up not coming home after all.

That's the same as always.

MAYUMI FUKAZAWA - FUKAZAWA'S WIFE

Even though his daughter is leaving to study abroad today.

It's fine, really.

I'll tell him he should at least see you off.

I told you, it's fine.

I'm already 17.

Besides, he's probably busy anyway.

What is he, an inspection officer?

An immigration inspector. And he's quite high up among them, you know?

Shouldn't high-up people have more free time?

See you, Dad.

-Take care. -Goodbye.

What? You did the raid yesterday, Iuchi?

That's right.

Man, it was a tough case.

You're straight on the promotion track.

Hey there, future Superintendent General.

Though it was thanks to Chief Hearing Officer Fukazawa.

Actually,

one female operator from the casino is currently on the run.

-What, she hasn't been caught yet? -Yes.

Iuchi, you're talking too much!

Please be very cautious for the time being.

Understood, Superintendent General.

Following last night's raid, new information has come in

from the Metropolitan Police Department.

It seems that a large shipment of illegal drugs

worth several hundred million yen will be brought in through this airport shortly.

-Have you identified the courier? -Not yet.

However, there's a high probability they hold a Japanese passport.

A Japanese national…

There might be a major organization behind this.

If there's even the slightest suspicious detail,

route them for inspection regardless of nationality.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

We must stop those drugs coming in.

Right. We won't let even a single gram pass.

Not even a single milligram.

-So specific. -Okay,

-Go ahead. -I'll check your luggage.

Go ahead.

This is quite large.

It was cheap, so I just bought it.

It would make a good souvenir for my niece.

This doesn't feel like cotton.

-It's made overseas, after all. -That's just how it's made.

I'm going to open this up.

These are cartridges for electronic cigarettes.

Nicotine-containing electronic cigarettes have a set limit for personal importation.

This exceeds the regulated amount.

What, really?

-We had no idea. -Yes.

Do you have an import confirmation certificate?

Forget it. We can just pay the extra tax, right?

How much is it? How much!

I was just a bit careless!

You were careless enough to sew it in?

Next person, please.

SARA NATORI - IMMIGRATION OFFICER

Over here.

I'll take your passport.

IMMIGRATION PASSPORT READING SYSTEM

Please proceed.

Do you have anything to declare?

No.

Well then, welcome home.

Well…

That neck pillow seems quite light.

It's made of urethane.

May I take a look at it?

This tag says it is made of gel.

-And this is? -T-tea leaves!

Herbal tea, herbal tea!

No it is not. It's dried cannabis.

Are you serious?

Do you normally check this carefully?

Our inspectors certainly do.

I'LL DEFINITELY BE THERE, WAIT FOR ME

You really don't have to force yourself.

-Non-stop confiscations today. -It's a turbulent morning.

That just means Gate 24 is doing its job right.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

What about the drugs we're looking for?

Nothing matching that description has been found yet.

I see.

Oh, that's right.

Your daughter is leaving to study abroad today, right?

Yes.

Are you going to see her off?

If I can go during my break.

You have to go.

She'll be mad at you if you don't.

Man, I hope she is just mad.

The afternoon flights are finally done.

Good job, everyone.

-Shall we clean up? -Yes.

-Yes. -Ah, wait!

Go ahead.

-This is our last passenger. -Okay.

CHIKA KUMAGAWA - GROUND STAFF

-Allow me to assist you. -Thank you.

Right over here, please.

-I'll take a look at your passport. -Yes.

Yuma Takase.

Returning from South Oserna, I see.

Yes.

This one says Misaki Takase.

My wife.

She's here.

My condolences.

Go ahead.

-Are those your wife's remains? -Yes.

During our trip, she suddenly collapsed at the hotel, and just like that…

I see.

You can leave your luggage here. Please proceed.

Oh…

Here…

Here, this is the death certificate

and the cremation certificate.

And this is--

-You don't need those documents here. -Huh?

-I'm sorry. -Are you all right?

I'll pick them up.

Ah, I'm sorry.

Ah, I'm sorry. That's mine as well. Thank you.

Well then, may I pass through?

Of course. Right?

Um…

May we inspect your luggage a bit further?

-What? -Mori?

I'm sorry. Please wait just a moment.

Mori, over here for a second.

Natori. I'm sorry.

What do you mean, inspect the luggage?

There was something that bothered me.

Takase just lost his wife, you know?

I understand.

However, Chief Hearing Officer Fukazawa also said

to route anyone for inspection if there's even the slightest suspicion.

That's true, but…

Just now, I saw inside the luggage,

and the clothes in there were all summer clothes.

Well, of course. It's summer right now.

South Oserna is in the Southern Hemisphere.

It is winter there right now.

And yet, there wasn't a single piece of winter clothing.

Yes. It is strange.

He might have disposed of them over there, right?

-Furthermore… -There's more?

Takase ate a meal at the airport before departure.

-A meal? -How do you know that?

I picked up a receipt.

One cup of coffee, a large pasta, a club sandwich, a hamburg steak,

-and cheesecake. -No, no.

Even if you're grieving, you still get hungry.

Or rather, maybe he hadn't had time to eat anything up until then.

T-that may be so.

-However-- -It's not that I'm saying

I feel bad for Takase, so don't inspect him, or anything like that.

It's just that

placing an additional burden on him without clear evidence doesn't feel right.

Yes.

Well, it's true that each point is weak on its own as evidence,

but it's also true that strange details are adding up.

Shall we check, just to be sure?

Just to be sure.

Excuse me.

How much longer will this take?

We are very sorry.

May I check that bag as well?

Yes.

Thank you.

This medicine hasn't been declared.

I'm sorry. They're sleeping pills.

Were they prescribed by a local hospital?

Yes. Ever since my wife passed away, I haven't been able to sleep at all.

Okay then, please complete the declaration procedure later.

Yes.

I'm truly sorry.

GATE 24 - SECONDARY ROOM

For now, I'm relieved that nothing dangerous turned up.

Yeah.

Are you still investigating?

Was there anything suspicious?

No. Mori, there's no problem, right?

-No. -Well then,

-that concludes-- -Something should be here,

but it is missing.

-Mori, there's no problem, right? -No.

-Well then, that concludes-- -Something should be here,

-but it is missing. -What?

-Contact lenses? -Yes.

They were in the deceased wife's luggage,

but the prescription here is minus 7.00.

Huh, that's about the same as mine.

Endo, you wear contact lenses?

Yes, if I take them out, I can't see.

That's why I always carry glasses around.

-I see. -True, they aren't there.

Yes, there are no glasses.

If traveling, it would be natural to bring them as a spare.

Maybe he lost them somewhere?

Besides, does him not having glasses imply something bad?

That, I do not know.

Let's just let him go already.

Takase lost his partner and hasn't been able to sleep.

What's wrong?

Takase was drinking coffee before coming here.

-And it was a Robusta blend. -Robusta?

Yes. A bean with a strong bitter taste and high caffeine content.

Would someone suffering from insomnia drink such coffee right before boarding?

Yes. It is strange.

Feels like there are

a lot of small catches, huh?

But it's not decisively suspicious, is it?

Everyone, please be careful in dealing with the bereaved man.

It affects the credibility of the entire gate.

I think it's best to stop here as well.

I will guide passengers on EuroSky Airways Flight ESA235 bound for London.

Check-in is now beginning.

Please have your passport ready and proceed to the check-in counter.

TO LONDON

-Ah, Dad! -Here, take this.

Okay, thank you.

Well, I'm off now.

Miss, do you know where the check-in counter is?

Yes, I'm fine.

I'M GOING SOON, OKAY?

There was nothing in the luggage, right?

No.

-In that case, we should stop here-- -Well…

There is still one place we haven't checked.

Wait, Mori.

-You don't mean… -There's no way we could do that.

If we handle this wrong, it will become a really big problem.

We must consider his feelings.

If it were me, I might never forgive it.

Demanding to inspect the urn where my wife rests…

What do you think, Matsuyama?

Are you against it?

Actually, there's one thing bothering me.

Earlier, Takase…

It looked like he intentionally drew our eyes to that bag.

-Intentionally? -I was bothered by that as well.

Could there have been something else he didn't want inspected?

Meaning…

But if we don't find anything in it…

Takase will probably get angry at us.

He might yell at us and hold a grudge.

Oh, no, come on…

But that's

part of our job as well.

Right?

Yes.

Hayami?

COMING NOW, SORRY I'M LATE

She's mad, huh?

I'm almost there.

Ah, this is Seike.

-What's up? -Well,

we've decided to inspect a passenger's urn.

Since it's a serious matter, we would like you to be present as well.

What is he doing?

…please try again later…

Understood.

I'll be right there.

Let's go.

Excuse me.

I am Chief Hearing Officer Fukazawa.

Fukazawa?

Takase?

-Do you know each other? -Yes.

We're mountain-climbing friends.

We paired up as buddies and tried to summit together many times.

I see.

Fukazawa helped me on the mountains many times.

You were reckless, and I had to bail you out.

I heard what happened.

I heard about Misaki. It's unfortunate.

Yes.

Misaki often came to the mountaineering club as well.

She wasn't good with the cold.

She always said she hated snow mountains

and would wait at the mountain lodge.

Was that so?

You remember well.

She was someone who valued life.

Misaki would be pleased to hear that too.

-Hey, Takase-- -Um, please, let me go home already.

I presented my documents and passport.

I showed all my luggage.

What else are you doubting?

Finally,

I would like to inspect that.

Are you serious?

The person inside here is Misaki, you know?

-I am very sorry. -Fukazawa!

To ensure it isn't touched more than necessary, I will be present.

I'll open it.

They're quite fine.

Depending on the country, they crush human remains finely.

Visually, there are no abnormalities.

Nothing abnormal on the X-ray either.

No drug reaction either.

Even though it was part of my duties, I hurt you and Misaki.

I apologize from the bottom of my heart. I am truly sorry.

Fukazawa, please raise your head.

Suspecting people is your job, after all.

Nothing showed up, so that's enough for me.

Let me offer incense to her next time I see you.

Yes. Misaki will be happy too.

Thank you for waiting.

Thank you.

Well then.

Good work, everyone.

-It's heartbreaking. -Yes.

Somehow, Takase not being mad at us makes it even sadder.

I will report to the higher-ups now.

It couldn't be helped. It was a necessary check.

Even so, what the higher-ups will say…

Oh, stop complaining!

Just brace yourselves!

Give me a break. I'm the one they'll scold.

Mori? What are you doing?

Sorry, everyone.

Didn't think I'd run into an acquaintance on the job.

Um…

What's wrong?

I met Takase's wife…

yesterday.

-Huh? -His wife?

What do you mean?

First, please look at this. It was among his wife's luggage.

This was a coaster from a casino named "Noir" in South Oserna.

-A casino? -Yes.

However, I checked, and this establishment doesn't have an operating license.

-An underground casino? -Most likely.

Are you saying the Takase couple went to that underground casino?

It would explain why Misaki, who is sensitive to the cold,

went to South Oserna without bringing winter clothes.

She stayed in a casino the whole time.

Yes.

Could that be related to Iuchi's information?

Iuchi's?

That a female underground casino operator is on the run.

-An operator? -That, I do not know.

However, yesterday, I saw something at the airport's soba shop.

A woman holding chips from this casino.

That lady?

How did you remember that so well?

She ate ten pieces of inari sushi.

-Ah, so that's why. -A grudge over that inari sushi, huh?

So, why do you think that woman was Misaki?

The casino is not the only reason.

Look at this.

This is a towel that was in the wife's luggage.

That woman also had a key case with this exact same logo.

It is a minor heavy metal band.

-Then the lady at the soba shop was… -Takase's wife?

Yes. Looking at it that way,

all the strange details connect.

-Strange details? -Ah.

For example, this.

In the wife's luggage, there were slippers.

However, there are no shoes for outdoor wear.

What was she wearing during the trip?

No shoes or glasses in the luggage, does that mean…

Those are things necessary for driving.

Yes, that is correct.

Furthermore, at that time, that woman presented a parking ticket.

-Do you have a parking ticket? -Yes.

PARKING TICKET

In other words, that woman came to the airport by car.

Perhaps even now,

she might be driving somewhere.

I borrowed this from the security center.

It's CCTV footage from around the soba shop yesterday.

SOBA

-That's… -The inari sushi woman.

-Iuchi… -You know,

I asked before, but could you not treat the police like a handyman service?

Sorry, future Superintendent General.

Well, I'll forgive you this time.

What, you will?

What was the result of the inquiry?

Is this person the female casino operator you were talking about, Iuchi?

No, she was unrelated to that.

However, as a result of facial recognition matching,

it matched the passport photo of Misaki Takase.

-Then… -This woman is Misaki Takase.

-She's alive. -Then, what was inside that urn?

Where is Takase right now?

-Let's go. -Okay!

Counselor!

Information just came in from South Oserna Airport.

Misaki Takase is suspected of having left using another person's passport.

We thought so.

Local authorities are also pursuing her whereabouts. At this rate…

At this rate, it could become an international incident

because you people didn't catch that couple.

Why didn't you inspect them more thoroughly?

If we had inspected them, you would have complained anyway.

-Did you say something? -No, nothing.

Um…

Strictly speaking, the one that overlooked Misaki Takase's illegal entry

was not Gate 24, but the main terminal.

They permitted her entry without detecting the impersonation passport.

No, well…

-Anyway, if this becomes any bigger-- -We know.

-Responsibility… -Will be taken by me.

Anyway, right now, we stop him.

Contact the airport police.

-Tell them about Takase! -Okay!

Takase.

-Wait! -Spotted Takase!

Move!

-Move! Move! -Takase, stop!

Stop!

Takase!

Announcement for passengers on EuroSky Airways Flight

ESA235 bound for London.

The security checkpoint is currently very crowded.

-Jeez. -Passengers boarding this flight,

-I'm going. -please complete security inspection early

-and proceed to the gate. -Wait!

-Takase! -There's nowhere to run!

Stay back. I'll really do it.

Takase, calm down.

Shut up! Get back!

Tsumugi!

Dad!

Dad?

Takase.

Let her go.

Fukazawa, please let me go.

I needed money! I got into heavy debt at the casino!

Back then, you saved me, didn't you?

On the blizzard-covered mountain,

you didn't abandon me!

You know the weight of a life, so why did you mess with it?

Don't you dare desecrate life.

Stay back!

Secured!

Oh my…

They're good.

Are you all right, Tsumugi?

Not at all.

You're late, Dad.

Welcome home.

Hello, dear.

You're Misaki Takase, right? Are you here to pick up your husband?

-I'm glad you weren't injured. -Yes.

Though I did stomp on the culprit's foot.

How reliable.

Understood, thank you.

If you head over right now, you'll make it in time.

I see. Thank you.

-Well then, I'm off. -Yes.

Get along with Mom, okay?

Don't worry.

See you.

Go ahead.

Looks like you really are busy.

See you, Inspector.

-He's not an inspector, he's Chief-- -Forget it.

See you.

None of that stuff matters.

The death certificate and cremation certificate submitted by Takase

were all forged.

It seems the local doctor was bribed as well.

Going to such lengths…

It seems the wife, Misaki, illegally obtained another person's family register

and returned to the country the day before using a passport under that name.

She intended to pretend she died and live a new life as a different person.

Regarding that urn,

stimulant drugs were detected from inside.

To evade inspection,

it seems they placed human ash at the top of the urn

and hid the stimulant drugs underneath.

Since what we tested was the ash on top, no reaction came out.

Yes.

What was that ash, anyway?

There is a high probability it was animal bones.

Really elaborate work.

The reason we were able to figure it out was thanks to Mori protecting the urn.

Things are to be treated with care, after all.

Also, the two of them frequented local underground casinos

and accumulated large debts.

It seems they were taken advantage of and forced to work as couriers.

The wife's death, the contents of the urn,

it was all a lie.

Objects do not tell lies.

That's right.

It's always humans who do.

Good work, everyone.

-It seems yesterday was quite hectic. -This is business as usual.

Today for sure, I'll get the inari sushi!

I'm sorry. It's sold out today too.

-What… -It's remarkably popular, isn't it?

The people over there ate all of it.

Man…

Ah, Mori, want some?

Oh my…

What is love?

What, a fake proposal?

Right here?

-This guy is a marriage scammer! -20 million yen.

I will pay for all of it.

What are these two?

Inspecting love?
