Do customers come? You ask... There's quite a number who do.

Wabi-Sabi Subs presents: SHINYA SHOKUDO Season 3 Ep 29: "Liver with Chinese Chives and Chinese Chives with Liver"

- Over here at Shinjuku 02... - Please, man.

Yeah... yeah... What's "false accusation"?

Right.

Okay...

Yeah, I'm counting on you.

Good evening, are you waiting for someone?

I was sleeping here.

Sorry sorry. I'm sure you're in a bad mood if we woke you up from your sleep.

But you do know this is not a place to sleep.

Are you coming home from your side job or something?

I don't have ta tell ya.

No, it doesn't matter.

It's just that the shrine caretaker notified us.'Cause this is within shrine grounds.

Why am I the only one who's got to suffer like this?

There's plenty of suspicious guys out there.

I'd be fine with this if you questioned everyone the same.

Linda, you better go to the pet salon tomorrow.

Ah, sorry about this. Thanks for the hard work, guys.

Hey, you're being questioned by the police, huh?

This is the pits, man.

No matter how many times I told em I was sleeping here... They just don't believe me at all.

Here's your "O~i Ocha" (tea product). There's also a Snickers bar.

Thanks, man!

Hey... if you're gonna lie... don't even think about it.

I ain't lying.

Then, cooperate openly with them. 'Cause we're too busy and all.

But, w-wait... You're leaving already?

'Cause once I get home, you're gonna call me again to bring you something.

Thanks for the hard work. Boys, let's go.

'Night, guys.

Good job, man.

So, you won't mind cooperating with us?

Come on.

"Go ahead."

We've just searched all over but we couldn't find any. Should we let him go?

Wait, you can't just do that!

Hey... what are you up to?

If we weren't able to stop that dealer, there'll just be more drug dependents again.

Still, just because we beat them to the punch...

...why should those narcs complain about it.

That scrambling for taking credit is so outdated.

Ah, I'm so hungry.

Listen, in here, we remove our badges 'cause it's a place for eating and drinking.

We don't talk shop.

Deka (Detective) is so particular huh. Since everyone makes you nervous.

Though nobody's around.

Here, thanks for the wait.

This here's Chinese Chives with Liver.

While this one's Liver with Chinese Chives.

Mine's the Liver with Chives.

And mine's the Chinese Chives with Liver.

I wonder if these two were mutual enemies in their past lives...

They just can't get along.

It's always like this, every time they come here.

After just coming home, and feeling sleepy...

...there was a man wearing a suit standing outside the window.

I was too scared to close the curtains, and couldn't move...

Then, your underwear was stolen during that time, right?

Yes.

How come you didn't report it immediately?

Even if we investigate, a week has already passed so...

You were scared right? 'Cause you don't know what that guy will do.

If I report him to the police, I thought he might retaliate...

I understand how you feel, but please try to have a bit more faith in us.

Yes, but for example, even if you were consulted about stalking...

...there have been many incidents that you weren't able to prevent lately...

I agree. You can't depend on someone who you don't find reliable, right?

Zip it, will you?

But it's true, isn't it?

There's no point to being a cop if no one believes in us.

'Cause cops are always too late.

She's troubled because the system doesn't make a move unless something happens.

That issue has nothing to do with this.

Why not? It has everything to do with it.

Right from the start, when you were looking at her with that kind of eyes...

...you thought she was at fault, because she was being careless.

What kind of eyes?

Am I right?

How to put it...

You look at me with kindly eyes but also a bit lewdly...

Something like that.

Ah? Lewd--...?

Buy anpan (bread with sweet filling) and milk*. (*Common snacks of TV cops while on a stakeout)

What?

There's a convenience store down the main road, right?

I'm not hungry.

Just go.

Where did she wander off to? Pete's sakes...

This isn't her first time to run errands.

It's the police.

Captured! Mission complete!

Look, you...

Dirty old man...

Lewd, right?

You, too huh?

It worked according to my plan, didn't it?

It was just a fluke, don't do that again. Gimme back my 1000 yen.

- Hey! - Good evening!

Ah, hello! Izumi-san. It's been a while. Are you patrolling?

That's your job, isn't it? As usual, it's quite stuffy in here.

You're also with Noguchi-san? Then... you guys are working together?

We're not getting along well.

Say, I wonder if he's having menopause. What do you think?

Hmm, well...you see, for me... where that is concerned...

I can't very well speak freely because of my position.

- Okay, see you around. - Oh, you too.

This isn't altogether bad either.

Hey Master, do you have some liver?

There's enough for just one person.

Then, cook half of it as Chives with Liver, and the other half as Liver with Chives.

I don't think it's possible.

Just go on home.

I don't want to. Since you saw me naked, I think it's only right that you treat me to some food.

Did you see?

No... you...

No, um... there was... a, um...

It doesn't mean anything since it was your own personal undercover operation.

Why not? It got some results, didn't it?

You get results using correct investigation techniques.

It's 'cause you say such things, people are mocking us as "tax theives".

Natsuki.

What?

What are you aiming for?

Harry Callahan.

"Played by Clint Eastwood."

"A detective who uses extra-judicial violence in order to perform his duties."

"Harry Callahan, fictional character."

You're such a pain in the neck.

For someone who stood his ground against the Yakuzas; won the Chief's Award 3 times...

...and was a candidate for the Commissioner's Award, Det. Noguchi has already lost his edge, huh?

Here you go... Your last bottle of alcohol.

Noguchi-san is a defeatist, an old-fashioned naive guy.

Eh?

What I'm trying to say is... if I could just fix that part of him...

Stupid... masses? He tells me to quit acting like I'm a representative or an ally of the people.

It's often said that "a spat is proof that they get along well"... So you're not like that?

Nope, not at all.

They say a good partnership is something that gets along even if they fight often.

But I can't get along at all with Noguchi-san.

Sorry for bothering you with all this, Master.

Oh, Mom? How's your health? Are you having your walks everyday?

I see... Have you talked with the doctor already?

What?

Don't worry about me.

Even if I'm already gettin old, I'm more comfortable being single.

Check up? Oh, it's every year, right?

Please take care of Dad as well with his diabetes.

You should worry more about yourself.

Noguchi-san is at it again.

Well, it's love sickness.

If you need me, please call me anytime.

But you seem to be a busy man.

No, I'm free during my days off.

Say, Noguchi-san, my birthday's coming up. Guess what my zodiac sign is.

Is it cow? ...Tiger?

Ding-Dong!

What are you doing?

What am I doing? It's someone's birthday.

When I was handling cases of gang violence...

I arrested a yakuza who killed someone for insurance money...

The husband at that house was the victim of that incident.

Her daughter was still small at that time, she'd be at the station consulting me on various matters.

I heard that today is her daughter's birthday.

Our work is finished once we arrest the criminal...

But for the victim's family, they have the rest of their lives to live with it.

Why are you making it sound like a good story?

We are uninvited guests, you know.

Detectives sympathizing with victims only spells trouble.

Besides, what you're doing...

...is in violation of Article 3 of the Stalker Control Act.

This isn't a matter that can be defined by logic.

Even you're tailing me, aren't you?

So in other words...

You're interested in the dead husband's widow. If I may make that observation.

They're saying your usual love sickness has begun again.

Shut the heck up, witch!

An object of sympathy turning into love... You're not a middle schooler, you know.

This is what you call mixing your public and private life.

Preaching to people about not crossing boundaries, when he himself is doing it.

I wonder if that person's not cut out to be a cop.

This may just be my opinion but...

Aren't you talking a bit too much?

Wonder if our partnership will be dissolved.

You've always been like that up to now.

What?

Dissolving a partnership...

This one doesn't sound like your first time.

There's a shortage of personnel. They can't find anyone who commensurates with me.

Really now...

Is that what you really think?

Yes.

As long as you think that way, that'll be the message you'll convey to your partner.

I hate it when a person writes someone off so easily.

Sorry... if I spoke out of turn.

A few days after that...

Why can't I eat Liver with Chives?

Today, I called for a woman whom I wanted you to meet.

She won't like you if you smell.

Who is it?

Good evening!

- Hana-chan. - Good evening.

Missus!

What's going on here?

She said they have to thank you for everything you've done for them.

Please sit down.

Thank you.

I thought I must properly convey my thanks to you.

Then Natsuki-san said she'll be the one to arrange the meeting place.

After that time, I tried to think of various ways...

...how I could help you out.

You've become thoughtful huh.

It's still too early to be surprised.

What, what is it?

Good evening.

He's my fiance.

What!

We're now living together...

I'm so glad to meet you. You've looked after them a great deal. I'm really grateful.

Daddy.

Not yet.

Guragura kuru... Guragura kuru*. (*In Fukuoka dialect, it means "I'm so pissed")

He just finally resolved a very difficult case. I wonder if you're just tired.

Anyway, what would you like to eat?

Love is blind...

A heartbroken cop?

You're not right? You'd be disqualified as a cop.

Didn't you notice it?

She... she wasn't wearing a ring.

They've been engaged for 3 months.

No way...

Feels refreshing right? It's a fresh start.

What do you mean fresh start?

Have a clean start, starting tomorrow. 'Cause we're buddies, aren't we?

Guragura kuru...

Thanks for the wait.

Thank you, Master.

We'll both share this.

Here you go.

["Gura-gura kuru" ...chagrin, anger; an expression used mainly in Kyushu, representing disappointment.]

If it's just Chinese chives or just liver...

...it somehow seems unsatisfactory and dull but...

...if taken together, they'll become delicious many times over.

"Deka (Cop). During the Meiji Era, police did not wear police uniforms."

"Instead, they wear kimonos with 'kakusode*'" (*angular-shaped sleeves)."

" 'Kakusode' in reverse is "Desokuka"..."

"And from there, the first and last syllable are taken, and they came to be known as 'Deka'."

After seasoning the liver, add cornstarch and oil...

That way when you fry it, they won't likely stick together.

Please try it.

You'll get over it soon.

I wonder if my approach was wrong...
