Ueno, Tokyo

Hey, get lost.

What the...?

Kota Nomura of Tokyo-domei.

Who the hell are you?

Eiko Yagami, Organized Crime, Ueno-Chuo.

Under arrest for obstruction of justice.

Ueno-Chuo Police Station

Tokyo-domei (Street gang) From online dark part-timers

Ueno is lawless with minor gangs selling drugs in yakuza area.

Illegal drugs

Tokyo-domei is in this way over their heads.

We must avoid collateral damage.

I'm back.

How was the shop, Izawa?

False lead.

Where's Nomura hiding?

Where's Yagami?

Can't get a hold of her.

I told you not to let her run solo.

Come here. Now!

Tell me why you went along with her.

Where are you, Eiko?

Cotton Club on Nakamachi St. Nomura was handing out drugs.

Kota Nomura

Huh?

I beat him up. Come get him.

Um...wait...

Eiko says she found Nomura.

I'll go.

Is it true?

Let's go find out.

- Come on. - Yes.

Senba-gumi structure

Senba-gumi territory

YAGAMI EIKO

Excuse me. Are you Ms. Yagami?

Yeah.

I was told to give you this.

Thanks.

Thank you.

I got the money.

As promised, I want to meet your boss.

Set the date quickly.

Got it.

And be sure to treat my gift with care.

No dumping in the woods or sea.

We're not old yakuza.

Just want to teach him a lesson.

Eat as much as you want.

Thank you.

Try the crawfish. It's good.

Good morning.

I'll find you all a good part-time job.

Yay! Thank you.

- Give them large servings. - Sure.

- You're in charge, Tomo. - Okay.

Get up.

Status?

All cuffed. They're beaten up.

That's Eiko for you. Wrecked havoc.

Shut up.

Where's Nomura?

Dunno.

What do you mean, dunno?

If they find we let the culprit run, Shinjuku-Minami will laugh at us.

What has Shinjuku-Minami got to do with this?

Tokyo-domei is based in their jurisdiction.

We have to share info.

Let's chase Nomura then.

First, get Yagami.

Yes.

Liú Kǒng Japanese School

Did the handover of Nomura go well?

Yes. Thanks for your help.

No problem.

He resisted, so I cut the tendons of his legs.

He's immobile and confined.

Then take out a kidney but keep him alive.

Are you sure?

Just do it!

Jeez. Working remotely is not easy.

I have to give all the orders.

Think for yourself.

Good tea.

Good job. Senba-gumi owes you one now.

Thanks to your tip, Yingli. I 'm always grateful.

Instead, you'll turn a blind eye to our illegal stay.

I know.

By the way...

Rika's cut for the part-time job.

I don't want it.

But you need it to take care of the runaways and outcasts.

I'm doing it because I want to.

Rika had a hard time herself, and can't ignore the ones in need of help.

Besides, they'll come in handy someday.

You can't have too much money. It's yakuza money anyway.

Here.

No need to hold back. Take it.

Thank you.

But is Senba-gumi really going to help you with your revenge?

I'll make them help me as long as I'm a cop.

A woman with a purpose can be really determined.

Here again? You don't give up easily.

Not until you help me with Masaya.

Six months ago

What do you want today?

I'm back in the Organized Crime Division.

Inspector Eiko Yagami

What has that got to do with me?

Liu Yingli, the owner of a Japanese language school and club.

Also, the mafia boss in Fujian Province.

You had ties with Masaya, the journalist.

Are you threatening me?

No way.

I came to say I can provide info on crack down dates and other things.

Really?

And you still want revenge?

Your husband's death was ruled as suicide, not murder.

I need your help to find evidence to prove otherwise.

Are you up for it?

Yes, of course.

Fine. Chew this.

What's this?

A spice not found in Japan.

It was your husband's favorite.

He said it goes best with mapo tofu.

Right, Rika?

Yes.

We got some A-grade stuff. Take them.

Thank you.

We expect to receive a lot of favors while you're a cop.

Quid pro quo, right?

Excuse me.

Hello.

I finally got you. Where are you Eiko?

- Hi. - Hey.

Where's the main offender, Nomura?

I went after him. But sorry.

Is it a request by Senba-gumi?

The reason you lost Nomura.

Of course not.

Don't get cocky, or you'll die.

Is that a threat?

Just a warning.

Hello.

Can I help you?

I'm Gojo from Organized Crime, Shinjuku-Minami Station.

I'm Ichimiya.

What now?

I'm Ichimiya.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Yagami.

Oh, you're the...

We heard you let Nomura escape.

You must be busy at Ueno, so we'll take over the case.

No need to worry. It's under control.

Why not? We can let them have the case.

What do you mean?

Do as you please.

Was it bad timing?

Sorry.

Don't look at it.

Well then.

How's the coverage going? Let me know when you're done.

Eight months ago

Hello.

This is Kawakami.

Hello.

Masaya Yagami's body was found in a tributary of Tama River.

Huh?

The local police think it's suicide.

There must be a mistake.

My husband is working in Kanazawa.

His ID has been confirmed.

Can you come over? It's Ome Police jurisdiction.

Kai, Senba-gumi

Meeting with Boss Arishima is set. Pick you up on the 21st.

It'll finally start.

Police Chief

Here you are.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'd like Yagami to be transferred.

That's out of the blue.

She raided a place and missed the main target.

Plus doubts of illegal investigation.

She needs to take responsibility.

Illegal investigation?

Without proof, I can't approve transfer.

You know why she defies the organization.

Because you stopped the investigation for the death of Yagami's husband.

Not my decision.

Masaya Yagami committed suicide.

That's the conclusion of the brass.

Once made, there's no changing it.

Being on the fast track, you should know better.

What about Yagami's accident right after that.

She survived, but lost her baby close to birth.

Was that a simple accident?

We found no causal relationship.

Still, you didn't reinvestigate because there was something inconvenient, right?

Forget it. I'm wasting my time.

Hello.

Hello, Tanabe. It's me.

Metropolitan Police Department

Any new leads related to Yagami?

Sorry Mr. Tominaga, I'm a bit busy.

I'll call you later.

I'll be waiting.

So...where should I go?

Shinjuku-Minami Police Station

Looks delicious.

Kurabe.

Hello. Let me join you.

Let's eat.

I joined the same year as Yagami.

We're like comrade-in-arms.

Yeah? You're close?

Yes.

She was awfully good at kendo. The best at the police academy.

Something wrong?

There seems to be a lot of friction at Ueno-Chuo's Organized Crime.

Yagami had to face a lot this past year.

- I see. - Yes.

Well, we'll probably be working together.

We should all go out to eat, Yagami too.

Yes, please.

Does that include me?

Of course.

You worry too much.

Here she is.

This is Inspector Eiko Yagami, at Organized Crime, Ueno-CHuo.

I'm Yagami. Thank you for agreeing to meet me.

Have a seat.

Thank you.

I should invite you to the best restaurant in Ueno.

But I didn't want this to be too formal.

Getting old, I feel more comfortable at a place like this.

They serve great chanko here.

What will you drink?

The same as you.

Coke and oolong tea.

You know Masaya Yagami.

The writer of this article and my husband.

Tokyo-domei picks fight with yakuza

by Masaya Yagami

It's quite an article.

Illegal drugs manufactured in Manila?

An online article said he killed himself.

Sorry for your loss.

Mr. Arishima, a boss like you wouldn't trust online news.

This is a crazy country.

More than 20 thousand people a year commit suicide.

But there are many killings which are disguised as suicide.

Japan is a suicide-prone nation full of dark secrets.

Masaya was one of them.

I know Masaya had ties with Senba-gumi for many years.

Please tell me if there's anything you know.

He was...

going after the boss of Tokyo-domei.

Tokyo-domei is superficial and has no boss.

That's the general understanding.

Tokyo-domei has an absolute boss.

That's what your husband believed.

Do you share that belief?

A street gang using dark part-timers to do petty fraud or robberies

started selling drugs in our territory.

We can't crush a group if we don't know the boss.

So we decided to cooperate with Yagami.

If you cooperate, I'll get the identity of Tokyo-domei's boss for you.

Ten months ago

It's not a bad deal for Senba-gumi.

Interesting. But do you have any real leads to go on?

I wouldn't come to such scary people if I didn't.

Hey, watch your mouth.

Don't get me wrong.

I'm putting my life on the line to uncover this darkness.

Please.

I need your help.

Your husband died a few weeks after I met him.

So Masaya was killed by Tokyo-domei for getting close to the boss.

Very likely.

What lead did Masaya have?

If we knew, we wouldn't be sitting here.

But we finally have a chance to get to the truth.

We're harboring a man called Kitahara who ran from Manila.

Kitahara...

He was the accountant at the illegal drug factory in Manila.

You think he knows the identity of the boss?

Probably.

What...?

Done by a Manilan hitman known as Graniso.

He's after Kitahara.

Graniso...

We got the drug trafficking route in return for protection.

But he's asking us to guarantee his life in return for the boss's identity.

How can I help?

Clean up.

Don't you get it?

Killing.

Make yourself comfortable.

There's no turning back for you.

That's what it takes to meet the boss.

I know.

Mr. Tominaga. This is Tanabe.

Arishima left the restaurant.

But the subject is still inside.

Yes. Alright.

I want to talk to Mr. Hayashi.

May I have your name?

I'm Shirosaki of Tokyo-domei.

Do you have an appointment?

No. So what?

Just get Hayashi.

Please wait over here.

Well, well. Tokyo-domei...

What was your name?

What?

Never mind.

What's a street gang doing here?

Street gang, I hate that word.

You're just a yakuza yourselves.

Do the employees here know this is a front company for Senba-gumi?

None of your business.

We'll come to you if we need anything, so you can leave.

Can't do that.

Senba-gumi is hiding Kitahara.

Where is he?

I have no idea.

You seem short-staffed to use foreign part-timers.

Told you I hate that word.

Don't mess with me, punk.

What are you sniggering about?

You...!

Damn!

By the way, are you done with Nomura?

Yes, our men dumped him in front of a police station somewhere.

Hello.

What?

I see.

What happened?

Our front company was attacked.

Tokyo-domei's Shirosaki brought his minions.

Casualties?

Two senior members.

Hello.

It's serious, Eiko.

The attack on Senba-gumi?

You get info fast.

Mr. Kawakami wants you right back.

Alright.

Seems like it's started.

The brats have crossed the line.

Senba-gumi should sit this out.

Let's see how the inspector deals with this.

Suspect 1: Shirosaki Suspect 2, 3: Foreigner

You're finally here.

In a normal company, you'd have been fired ages ago.

Old fashioned.

The foreigner's ID?

Suspect2, 3: Foreigner

Not yet...

Who's the killer?

We have footage.

This is a professional.

A mere street gang couldn't do this

Right.

What do you think, Yagami?

Not an amateur. Terribly used to killing.

This guy is Antonio.

Shirosaki's underling and interpreter for dark part-timers.

The other one?

Haven't seen him before.

Can't tell with this image.

That man is probably called Graniso.

You know him, Yagami?

A tip from a source.

He's a hitman from Manila.

What source?

I can't tell you.

What is a pro doing here?

Not to attack a front company of Senba-gumi.

There must be a big target.

I wonder who?

Hello.

Here's your pizza.

About time. Over there.

I'm sorry.

Bring it here.

Hello.

I understand.

Got it.

Graniso's face is not known yet.

I'm no good at this.

- What club were you in? - Photography.

- Yeah. - And you?

- I was in kendo. - Oh, look.

Go for the goal.

I'll take your cool moves.

I'm Michael Jordan.

You can do it.

I did it. I even had my eyes closed.

Nice shoot.

Are you cheating, Masaya?

You're too close.

- Close? I'm the defense. - Yeah.

Take the shot, Eiko.

Out of my way.

I did it.

Eiko.

Let's get married.

Marry me.

Okay.

Damn you!

I might kill you too.

Next episode

Does that mean she's working for Senba-gumi?

This room is extraterritorial.
