Welcome. Our store is having a red wine sampling.

Wait for me. I'm going to throw this.

Stay back! Stay back! Please stay back!

Please coorperate!

Stay back!

- Sir. - How bad is it?

1 dead, 3 critically injured and 1 8 minor.

Photograph the bystanders.

Yes, sir.

The subject is a pro.

Stop staring at the detectives.

Yes

Please stay back! Don't push!

We appreciate your cooperation!

Move!

Cover for me, Kasuga.

Hayakawa, hey!

Hold it!

I'm arresting you for assaulting an officer and violating the blade control law.

Are you OK? I'll call an ambulance.

There's no time! A baby's on the way!

Hayakawa! Ouch...

Book him' OK?

Hurry!

Turn left! Watch out!

Wrong! Left!

Hang on, the doc's on his way.

You can do it' Momo!

Here she is, Doc!

Her water's already broken.

Momo, you're doing well.

Oh, it was a dog!

Hang on.

I see a head.

Well done, Momo. Good.

Three puppies.

You did well, Momo.

There's one more.

It's stuck in the canal, suffocating.

Officer, please hold her down.

Me? I can't...!

Just do it!

Please.

Come on!

It's an albino.

It's not breathing.

You're giving up on it?

That's its destiny.

Destiny?

You can make it' come on.

Come on, don't go!

Come back' you'll be OK.

You revived it.

DOG X POLICE: The K-9 Force

You idiot!

"Community Policing / Traffic"

You left your station again!

What about the suspect?

A drug dealer.

Not a bomber?

He ran when you spotted him.

You broke protocol again!

Just once I wish you'd keep out of trouble.

Hayakawa, you made an arrest!

You'll make a detective.

Not so fast.

Don't jump to conclusions, boys.

Life is full of unecpected turns.

This is the 4th bombing by the same guy.

You're being transferred.

Transferred?

To the detective unit?

No. To Security.

Security?

MPD's 2nd Security Division, Equipment Unit 4.

"MPD Security Dog Training Center"

Security dogs...

Hi, I'm Hayakawa. I'm starting today in Equipment Unit 4.

Oh, there you are.

I'm Captain Mukai. Pick that up.

That's for the dog's lunch. Nagai.

Sure tastes good.

Captain, the dog food sample is here.

The manufacturer is confident.

Really? Let me see.

Isn't it a little too rich?

Doesn't seem bad to me.

High-cal food's good in winter. It'll be cold this year.

- Want some? - No, thanks.

Nishimura! Did you give sashimi to Alec?

I found a worm in his poop.

Whoops. It was payday so...

Yusaku Hayakawa is joining us from today.

That's Takekiyo, Nagai, Nishimura and Muraoka the vet.

And there's your instructor Mizuno' she's outside.

Change into the uniform.

I'm Hayakawa, starting today.

I'm Natsuki Mizuno.

Follow me.

We train for 2 hours in the day and night

That's as long as a dog can focus.

Police dogs aren't so tough, huh.

They're not enforcement dogs' these are security dogs.

What's the difference?

Enforcement dogs catch criminals.

A security dog's job is to prevent crime.

That's why they're in the Security Team!

Forensics manage the enforcement dogs.

Our dogs are for detection' search and rescue

and to control crime scenes.

I never knew dogs did that.

Put this on.

Focus!

Or you might get badly injured.

Do your best bad guy !

Do some method acting like Robert De Niro!

You talkin' to me?

He's a ham.

Brand' attack!

Release!

Release! Brand.

I want to die...

If a dog's healthy' its stool is in good condition.

The handler must check it.

Hand out.

Feel it.

And smell it.

My job and boss are demanding!

I'm not cut out for sales.

Well I'm not a diner manager by choice!

Lucky Hayakawa! He's a cop just like his dad!

Are you a detective yet?

He's a detective for the MPD!

Cut it out! It's not that easy.

Something stinks around here...

Yeah. Anyway, bottom's up!

I wish I was a detective like you' Hayakawa!

Hayakawa! Put this on.

The dog unit never prevented any crimes?

They are only used in search and rescue.

But the dog unit is just on standby at crime scenes.

Why?

The dogs can't tell who the criminal is.

Dogs leap on anything that moves.

Hayakawa!

That hurts!

Brand! Eelease!

Come on, Brand.

Stupid dog!

It's your fault, you didn't block him!

Pay attention while we're training!

If you not up to the work, leave!

Half-hearted training is a waste of time.

What's attack training for?

In law enforcement...

The security dog unit has not been deployed once

in its 30 years of existence.

Do you know what cops call this unit?

A tax-funded kennel!

We're seen as losers, not cops!

Who cares what they call us?

Our job is to train for any possible situation.

I know there's work I'm suited to but this isn't it.

How can you say that when you haven't tried?

How's your arm?

Captain' I don't think I'm suited to this job.

You're quitting the force? Good luck in this recession.

I don't want to quit the force.

Please talk to the investigative unit.

No can do.

Why not? I think they would recognize my achievement.

I heard about your history from your last unit.

Apparently you caught criminals on your own.

Were your partners unreliable or are you untrusting?

That attitude gets in the way of detective work.

They don't want you.

Mizuno's usual black coffee.

I'll have a protein drink today' thanks.

Why?

I'm full.

Do you think Hayakawa will come through?

I don't think he'll work out in this unit.

I see.

Why did Captain want him?

Captain has his own ideas.

Like what?

Only the Captain knows.

Of course he does but...

You love 2D girls, don't you?

Nothing beats these girls.

Are you consoling yourself?

Don't you knock?

The Investigative Captain's here!

Hello.

Just kidding!

This private facility trains many of the best dogs.

We purchased half our dogs from here.

Everyone in our unit is a trained handler.

You need a buddy.

A buddy?

Hi. Come in that way.

Sorry to just turn up.

Make sure the dog obeys!

Close it behind you.

Get it right!

Saito is an old pal.

He advised me to take you on.

Me and my bad luck.

The puppies are hard at training now.

Back to the mark!

It's that dog.

It's Shiro, the dog you saved.

Isn't he kind of awkward?

Shiro is an albino.

He's genetically predisposed to weakness.

He's vulnerable to disease and sun and won't live long.

Not an ideal security dog.

Hayakawa...

Shiro could be your buddy.

OK, it's settled.

But you said he's no good...

He's good enough for a guy who wants to quit.

Are you sure?

Come here!

Shiro, this is your new buddy.

Take care of him.

A major appliance manufacturer's headquarters was bombed

at around 8pm last night.

1 8 employees were wounded.

This is the 5th serial bombing since last year.

The police are under pressure to solve the case.

Why aren't we involved in this?

We're an equipment unit.

The boys at Investigations don't want us involved.

Hi, guys.

I picked out Shiro for Hayakawa.

But Shiro...

That won't make things easier...

Let's see how it goes. OK guys?

The dog looks weak...

What's the Captain thinking?

Let's play fetch first.

Dogs follow moving objects.

We use it to establish communication.

Good boy.

That's it' good dog.

Here, give it a try.

Shiro, you want this ball' huh?

Here!

Shiro! bring it back!

You teased him so he wants to keep it.

I'm sorry. Let's try it again.

Hey! I said Sorry !

Stupid dog.

Hey! Wait!

Now' obedience.

No matter what the situation, Shiro has to obey your orders.

Heel.

Heel!

Your instructions are vague.

Get his attention first.

With this?

Heel!

Not that way!

Catch him!

Wait! Come back here!

Are you afraid of heights?

Of course not!

It hurts!

The human needs to be trained first.

Descend!

We're training with the SAT?

Why are we doing this?

Our unit has never been dispatched.

That's correct.

Our guys are desperate to prove themselves.

Takekiyo is an ex-SAT.

The Captain recruited him.

Attack!

Nagai's the 3rd best officer in martial arts.

Believe it or not' Nishimura was in Intelligence.

Money! Now!

Mizuno proposed this joint training program.

And Captain made it happen.

Right?

That's the least I can do.

Release!

We did it!

Good boy, Brand. Good dog.

Mission complete, dismissed!

You did very well ! good boy.

With better coordination we can try more formations.

Thank you, sir.

Your security dogs did well! Let's do this again.

Yes' sir.

Excuse me.

Mizuno.

Yes?

How do we get to be like you and Brand?

See?

Dogs are the same as us.

Dogs have different characters, too.

There are many ways to have a rapport.

A rapport...

The bond between you and your dog. The deep trust.

Shiro, let's go!

Hayakawa?

Come here, Shiro! Good boy!

You sneaky little fellow.

Good boy, Shiro.

What's going on?

We have a bond!

By acting like a dog...?

I just run with Shiro, that's all I know how.

Come here!

Morning.

Is that Hayakawa?

What's got him motivated?

Let's go.

Heel!

Snappier!

You move sloppily.

Heel!

Shiro moved again.

I said Heel !

Sit!

Stay!

He's following you!

Through the tunnel!

Almost there!

One' two!

Of course I know girls.

Nishimura.

Listen to me.

We need to work with the SWAT team more often!

You said that already.

Drink up.

It's cooked.

- She's had enough... - Drink' Brand.

Hey' don't let the dog drink!

Tell me what I just said.

You talked about the SWAT team. You're drunk!

Jump!

Great' Shiro!

Good boy!

Heel.

Stay.

Come!

Come on!

Okay, Shiro.

Go! Attack!

Shiro?

What's wrong?

I gave him a vitamin shot. He'll be OK tomorrow.

Thank you' Doc.

Shiro can't take the heat.

It's more stressful at a crime scene.

And so...?

He couldn't handle an assignment.

Give up on Shiro. Training won't help him perform.

You're improving.

Sit.

You're a strange one.

Who'd want a hard and unrewarding job like this?

Being able to work with dogs makes me happy.

Besides even I can save lives.

Dogs empower me to carry out an operation.

We've been overseas and saved many lives.

I don't even mind the PR campaigns because they help our cause.

They teach the public that dogs prevent crime too.

I want everybody to know that.

I know what you're capable of!

You were some rookie at the academy!

Did you know me?

Remember the Pub 911 by the academy?

A drinking match was taking place.

All the guys collapsed while a woman kept going.

I'd never seen a woman like that before.

I was both impressed and shocked.

Come, Brand.

What did I do? Why did she kick me?

The training with the SAT team...

it went well, didn't it?

Not really, sir. We could barely keep up with them.

We're far from ready.

Security dogs have never trained with the SAT and SIT squads before.

Times have changed.

The dogs have changed too, Captain.

Commander...

The hostage situation 10 years ago...

Does that still torment you?

The bombed buildings belong to

Japan's leading companies.

Could be the work of an anarchist.

The possibilities are high.

Forensics say that the bombs were well crafted.

They were placed in security blind spots.

The unsub must be smart.

Get your men to look for students who fit the profile.

Go to it.

Let's go!

Sir, someone claiming to be the bomber sent an e-mail.

He wants a number to call in 1 hour.

A prank?

It came with bomb schematics.

Issue a scanner to all officers on-duty so they can monitor the call!

Arrest any person mouthing the same words as the caller.

Got it, thanks!

A friend is on the bombing case.

He told me that the unsub will call the HQ.

The call will be radioed to all officers.

Confirm the frequency?

I already have.

Hello?

Are you in charge?

- A woman! - It's modulated.

No, this is Sorami Miku!

Who is that...?

It's a futuristic virtual singer with a synthesized voice.

This is her!

I thought the police were smarter.

Here I am, waiting anxiously but you can't find me.

What's your objective? Why are you doing this?

What's your theory?

And don't call me an anarchist.

Oh, aren't you?

"What's your objective?"

"Oh, aren't you?"

"What's your motive?"

I just want to play.

Clowns of the police force, let's start the game.

I planted a bomb at Tama Shopping Mall.

It's set to go off at 7pm.

Defuse it and I'll give you a hint.

Trace the call!

We can't. He diverted the call to a computer in the Middle East.

To the bomb site!

Contact the mall's management immediately!

This is Captain Mukai.

Copy, I'll stand by.

MPD wants us at the site.

Takekiyo, Nagai, Mizuno, get ready.

Hayakawa, support Mizuno.

Get the crates!

To the crate!

Hayakawa!

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Okay, steady!

Mukai.

Otsuka.

The shoppers were evacuated.

Find the bomb before it goes off at 7.

We have a map of the 87 surveillance cameras.

I want you to find the bomb and that's all. Understand?

Do you know him?

An academy classmate.

Break up and search each area!

Search.

This is Nagai. Bart located the bomb.

Get the Bomb Squad.

Lower!

Slowly! Very good.

Take it easy.

Go easy as you lower it.

OK, stop it there.

We found it!

We'll now defuse the explosive.

Brand, what's up?

Brand, wait.

Let's turn around.

Easy.

Maybe somebody with explosives is here...

The suspect!

He's here somewhere.

I'll call in.

No, he could escape by then.

Hayakawa!

Releasing it.

Brand! Search!

EOD completed. It's all clear.

The bomb's disabled.

Get back, it's a decoy!

Brand!

Brand!

Brand!

Who owns it?

It's a stolen vehicle. Forensics are looking at it now.

The subject seemed unaffected tby he car explosion.

He might have had earplugs or he's deaf.

That's irrelevant.

If you'd followed procedure

we could have caught him!

We apologize.

Did you want to get the credit for catching him?

Handlers should stick to your job!

I'm to be blamed.

I did not make my orders understood.

And that dog!

Getting disabled on a decoy wasn't smart.

Sir, I want you to take that back.

Brand means a lot to Officer Mizuno.

You have no idea!

If you love dogs that much work at a pet shop!

Hayakawa!

Stop! We're humiliated enough.

Sorry for interfering with your investigation.

Nothing's changed.

That's how it was 10 years ago.

Good night.

You want to ask me something?

Well...

It's nothing.

There was a hostage situation at a loan company 10 years ago.

I was called to the site with a security dog.

There was a criminal and 2 hostages.

The captain agreed to me going in with my dog.

You know what the dog did?

He attacked a hostage who moved.

The dog was used at a crime scene but it's off the record.

The captain assumed responsibility and resigned.

He was a good captain. He knew a dog's capability.

When I said I'd quit

he told me to stay and carry on.

8 years passed

and a policewoman joined our team.

Officer Mizuno reporting to the Equipment Unit 4.

Officer Mizuno.

Why did you want to join us?

Because I want to prove how valuable security dogs are.

She was the daughter of the Captain who quit.

It was a surprise.

But I was happy that she wanted to work in our unit.

Sorry, I screwed up.

I ruined what you and Mizuno have built together...

What's done is done.

Chin up.

How's Brand?

His front right paw is fractured.

Oh, so it's not serious!

You don't understand...

Injured security dogs can never work again.

But when he heals...

A traumatized dog is never the same.

Brand will never chase a getaway car.

So Brand...

What will happen to him?

Brand will retire.

But...!

Security dogs are police equipment.

They're used to protect officers.

Injured dogs are replaced.

That's how it is.

A piece of equipment...?

The serial bombing case is no closer to being solved.

The bomber eludes the police and taunts them.

The bombs were all planted at Japan's leading corporations.

This is a heinous crime.

But some young people anonymously and publicly

support the bomber's actions.

They see the perpetrator as a hero.

The frustration of the young generations manifests on it.

With the botched operation at the mall

the police seriously lost credibility.

A source reveals that the police received a bomb threat

and deployed security dogs to search the area.

A suspect was located but was not captured.

The police dragnet was slow, possibly because

the police were distracted by an injured dog.

This forces the police to re-evaluate

their tactical procedures and conducts.

Brand.

No more training for you.

You can relax.

I'm sorry.

If I didn't misjudge the situation Brand would have...

It was me.

I wanted to catch him.

I wanted to show them what our dogs could do.

I was emotional and irrational.

I'm a failure.

I made an irreversible error.

All our achievements and effort was for nothing.

And Brand is injured...

I'm not qualified for this job.

What are you going to do?

Are you walking away?

Don't run from it.

Who am I to lecture you?

I wish I didn't have to.

But you're my instructor.

What am I going to do if my instructor goes?

What happens to me if some nerd replaces you?

We're both from police officers' families.

Did the Captain tell you?

We can do this together, instructor.

"Tokyo Serial Bombing Task Force"

We have a suspect.

6 months ago, Toru Kusaka quit his job as a security guard.

After the 1st bombing.

His eardrums were damaged in the explosion.

Just as Hayakawa said.

After the bombing,

Kusaka proposed an improved security system.

But when his idea was disregarded

he quit.

Commander.

As a kid, Kusaka blew up cars and lockers.

Today at 7pm,

an IT company building was bombed

in Tokyo's busy business district.

The explosion left

16 casualties and 45 injured.

Evidence suggests that the bomb was planted by the perpetrator

of the recent spate of bombings.

The ruthless trail of terrorism continues.

There are still no clues leading to the suspect's identity.

The surviving families of the victims accuse the police

that the victims would have lived

if not for the police dog misconduct.

Detecting explosives?

Let me train Shiro to do it.

explosives come in varieties.

Shiro's only just begun training.

I heard that his mother was a great sniffer dog.

I believe Shiro has that ability too.

Why the rush?

Because we let the subject get away.

Well...

Nobody trusts us after what happened.

We're not being given duties.

Are you just going to sit here and give up!

Takekiyo-san, how can you live with this?

You know I can't!

But unless we get an order...

That's not my point.

Can you live with yourself for letting a merciless criminal go?

We're police officers too.

There is a criminal to catch.

And citizens to protect.

How can we leave things like this?

Captain.

Give Hayakawa a chance to prove himself.

I second that, Captain.

Takekiyo.

Get Mack ready.

Nishimura, stand by.

Ready.

Go.

Search!

Shiro?

Shiro won.

Shiro, good boy!

That's some nose!

Wait a minute.

Put it in here.

Try this.

Are you sure?

Ready.

Go.

Search!

It's impossible.

How can he trace the explosive's scent?

Shiro found it!

Great! Shiro!

Is it possible?

He's amazing!

I think Shiro traced the scent on Officer Nagai.

When Nagai put the scent on the gauze

he got particles on him.

The dog traced it to the locker.

We have a prime suspect thanks to your rookie's hunch.

Otsuka!

Thank you.

Heel!

Heel!

Stay.

Down!

Come.

Good! perfect!

You have to obey my orders no matter what, OK?

Taskforce.

Commander!

A police post was bombed injuring an officer.

Damn him!

I'm on my way.

Hello?

It's him.

I'll talk!

Hello.

You had to rely on dogs? How pathetic.

We don't need any hints.

Oh, you sound very confident.

My men are on their way to you now.

There, I can hear the siren.

"I can hear the siren."

"Gotcha, Kusaka' didn't I?"

Very good.

The next one is at 5pm, at Tokyo Big Ship convention center.

Do not evacuate people from the site.

I set the bomb and you'll find it in a given time.

If you broke the rules, I'll detonate it.

Like the police post.

Your dogs won't help you this time.

No dog can find my bomb.

All personnel to the convention center' now!

Steven Jubs has a lecture at 5pm.

This is the guy!

Like you suspected, he's deaf.

I got a tip off from my cop buddy!

There's another bomb threat at Tokyo Big Ship!

Where are you going?

To the site.

Not without an order!

You work as a team!

Our service is not requested.

But we must prevent bloodshed.

Ready all personnel.

We're going to Tokyo Big Ship!

Don't forget.

Show them we have fangs too!

Send an officer now.

I couldn't find anything.

Don't give up, we still have time!

Inspector, look.

Give us another chance.

Please give us your trust.

Please.

Find the bomb or the subject before 5pm.

Search for the explosive!

A-28 lobby is clear.

Come with me.

No explosives in the boiler room.

Copy.

Mukai.

The subject is confident the dogs wouldn't find the bomb.

I trust my officers.

"Mr. Steven Jubs will arrive shortly"

5 minutes to a total evacuation.

Shiro, remember your training?

Trace the scent of the bomb.

Search!

Hurry up!

I know!

We found it. 3 minutes to detonation.

Evacuate. Leave it to the Bomb Squad.

We don't have time!

Please welcome the man who continues to evolve.

Steven Jubs, the most influential man on Earth!

We have to do this.

Command Center, Hayakawa is taking the bomb out.

The Bomb Squad's standing by at Gate 1 . Hurry!

Hayakawa! this way!

Stay back!

Stay back!

Hayakawa, are you hurt?

Mizuno?

I'm okay.

Hayakawa...

The suspect is here...

It's too crowded.

Hi senpai.

Get down!

Shiro, come on!

Hold it!

We'll take it from here.

Okay.

Hayakawa, where are you?

Freeze.

This is fun.

I've been waiting for a guy like you.

You're finished.

You've already lost. Admit it!

I can't hear you at all.

That's my advantage.

Kusaka!

Shiro, I don't think I can move...

We don't have time...

Shiro.

You can escape.

Go.

Shiro

Shiro

Go

It's an order. Go!

Why don't you listen to me...?

I told you to obey me.

Go.

Go on!

Why don't you do what I say?

I want you to follow my orders...

You're not a piece of equipment.

You're my partner.

Listen.

OK... Mizuno will look after you.

You'll make the best security dog ever.

OK. Release.

EOD complete. All clear.

Shiro!

Is Hayakawa in trouble?

This is Mizuno. I found Shiro.

Hayakawa's possibly injured. I'll get him.

Wait a minute, Mizuno?

Mizuno!

Hayakawa!

Hayakawa!

Come on, say something!

Shiro came to get me.

Mizuno, run...

There's a bomb...

Mizuno...

He's dead.

Damn it!

Get down!

Hayakawa!

Move out!

Mizuno.

Hayakawa.

You come to!

Where's Shiro?

You'll see him when you're OK.

Mizuno, were you hurt?

I'm second to Shiro?

I'm OK, because you protected me.

I remember nothing...

Hayakawa.

I...

I'll have another go with Brand.

When Brand's in pain

I want to support him.

I'm happy for you.

Are you OK?

Shiro, why are you here?

Look, he's up already!

Shiro's so worried he wouldn't listen to us!

This is for you.

This helps you get better.

Look, this is really effective. Stop that!

This really works! Trust me!

No protein.

He's on a hospital diet! No protein!
