This is Shibayama.

Listen, right at 8 o'clock.

Maybe I should have worn a kimono...

on the first day of work after the New Year.

Let's go!

We are now in front of Kaiou Construction.

The police are moving in.

It's January 8, 8am. The police are moving in.

It's January 8, 8am.

The police are on their way to arrest Congressman Misaki.

We are currently at the scene.

January 8, 8 am.

The police are starting the search at Kaiou Construction.

The Josai branch of the Tokyo Prosecutor's Office...

is moving towards Kaiou Construction.

It's currently January 8, 8 am.

The police have begun their investigation on the bribery...

between Congressman Misaki and Kaiou Construction.

We are interrupting our regular program...

to present you with this live coverage.

- Put it by the wall. - Okay.

(Kaiou Construction)

We're from the Tokyo Prosecutor's Office.

Is Mr. Misaki in?

Mr. Misaki, excuse us.

Please come with us to the prosecutor's office.

It's so noisy outside.

The press has gathered.

- It's outrageous. - Yes.

There's a crowd out there.

There are at least 10 cameras.

Are they broadcasting live?

I should have recorded it.

Are there no televisions here?

I'm taping it.

As expected of Suetsugu, our role model.

Do I look boring?

Who cares?

Maybe I should have changed my tie.

No, it makes you look responsible.

- Really? - Yes.

What should we do?

Well...

Can you help bring the evidence outside?

Got it.

Hey, who are they?

They're the Criminal Investigation Unit.

The police are involved too?

- It's just for show. - I see.

- That hurts! - Sorry.

- What? - Sorry.

- Again? - I have huge feet.

- Sorry. Got it. - Hurry up.

- Here. - Okay.

Suetsugu! This way!

What are you doing?

- Here. Carry these. - Sorry.

- Seriously. - Got it.

What paralegals?

We are just like the prosecutor's slaves!

That's the difference between district and national certification.

If you don't mind, these are for everyone.

- Please have them. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Not at all.

Finally.

It's the New Year and you're sitting in between two beauties.

It must be your lucky year.

My stomach always hurts at times like this.

What's wrong, sir?

There's too much press.

Someone must've leaked information to them.

Not us, definitely.

I wonder.

If you know something, say it now.

It's still not too late before the higher-ups deal with it.

- Right? - Is it from our branch?

No. Isn't it tomorrow?

A new public prosecutor...

Is transferring from Aomori.

Is he really as good as they say?

That's only a rumor.

Why is he...

Coming in now?

Aren't you looking forward to it?

Will working for him be any easier?

Shibayama is tough.

- Do you want to switch with me? - It's the same anyway,

no matter who we work under.

I wonder who the living sacrifice will be.

I will do it!

You would do it, Amamiya?

That would be great.

I didn't want to ask you since you're under someone else.

- You're neglecting your job. - I'm doing both.

You're always trying to please everyone.

I just completed my assigned tasks.

I heard people always say you stick your nose everywhere.

Well, I don't want to waste Amamiya's offer.

Won't you stop, Nakamura?

It's not up to me to say, so do as you please.

Thank you.

You're just like a veteran public prosecutor.

That's why you have the ability to be where you are today.

Are you saying that I'm good,

and that is the reason why I'm still unmarried today?

No, I didn't mean that.

You're not interrogating a suspect right now.

Goodness, there's a helicopter too.

(Live Broadcast)

You're going to be late.

It's great.

Look at it.

You can use it even when you're lying down!

You can exercise anywhere.

Hello.

I'm just watching your shopping channel.

Yes.

Yes, the hip-swinging machine.

I'd like to buy one.

White.

No, yellow is fine.

Kuryu, K-U-R-Y-U.

Yes, Kuryu Kohei.

K-O-H-E-I.

For those who work hard for the country, we...

(Tokyo Prosecutor's Office, Josai Branch)

Good morning, Chief.

Good morning.

Thank you for your hard work yesterday.

But is it true that Misaki has an alibi?

That's right.

When they delivered the money, he was on a trip with his family.

He wasn't in Tokyo.

It must be a lie.

Probably.

If he is lying, we'll need evidence.

The higher-ups are troubled too.

If we can't disprove his alibi, he'll be released.

Arresting a politician is not an easy matter.

That'll make us look bad.

That's right.

This machine might look simple,

but it's really effective.

It hurts.

Did something happen?

It's from yesterday.

He made us carry all those boxes.

Idiot Shibayama.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I was just talking to Suetsugu about whether everyone has arrived.

You must have been tired yesterday.

You're the tired one.

Not at all!

I could do it every day!

Keep it up.

A simple design.

It can be used anywhere.

What do you mean you're doing both jobs?

I heard he is an excellent prosecutor.

So?

To become a vice-prosecutor, I will need various experiences.

You haven't given up on that?

I don't want to be a paralegal all my life.

Am I and my current career not enough for you?

- What? - I'm saying...

If you're having it both ways, make sure you plan ahead.

It's doing two jobs at once.

What do you mean, having it both ways?

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Door opening.

Don't step on my foot again.

Don't worry.

The new public prosecutor is arriving today, right?

He should be upstairs right now.

What?

What's going on?

- Good morning. - Is he really that good?

Who knows?

What's his name?

I think it's Kuryu.

What a weird name.

He studied by himself and passed, didn't he?

There really are people like that.

He might be just a country bumpkin.

He might even speak with an accent.

He might not even be able to simple things.

- Come on, guys. - That's right.

It's not right to judge someone by their name.

If he's a public prosecutor, he must be excellent.

- She's saying something. - Just calm down.

This is not an interrogation room or a courtroom.

It's fixed.

- You fixed it? - Yes.

I really don't want to work with some kid.

If he is an arrogant guy, I'll banish him.

If so, he won't last long here.

Come on, be nice.

Can you give me that tape?

Is it the footage from yesterday?

- Do you want a copy? - Yes.

I want two.

- Got it. - I'll send one to my parents.

Sorry, does anyone know where the snack is?

I took it.

Should I get it?

No, it's fine.

He is just a newcomer.

You know,

it's the newcomers who should bring the gifts.

He's from Aomori.

So he'll probably just bring some apples.

It's just a small token...

- Excuse me. - Yes.

I will be your new paralegal. I'm Amamiya.

Hello.

I work for Prosecutor Nakamura, but I will be assisting you.

If there's anything you need help with...

No, I'm sorry for coming in at this time.

Thank you.

So, will you be in charge of that case?

What case?

The case of the corrupt politician.

What?

Am I in charge of that?

Tokyo is amazing.

We don't have those kinds of huge cases in Aomori.

Sorry, what university did you graduate from?

- University? - Yes.

You'll be amazed. Well...

I didn't go to any.

- What? - You see,

I dropped out of high school.

So how should I say it?

My highest education...

is graduating from middle school.

But I tried taking the district examination.

Really.

I even passed the prosecutor's examination.

I must have used up my life's worth of luck.

Look, you can really read a book with these.

Did you come here straight from Aomori?

What about it?

What?

My clothes?

I always dress like this.

Look. It's right here.

Is it weird?

What are you having for lunch?

- If you don't mind, let's... - If you need me, just call for me.

I was just asking about lunch.

Shibayama.

I'm not going to the group date.

It's not a group date.

Have you heard about the Chief and Amamiya?

Is it true?

She doesn't drink,

but they go out at night once a week.

I see.

That conservative Amamiya and the Chief...

She might be trying to kiss up to him.

- Then that's tough for Egami. - Egami?

So it's true that Egami and Amamiya are dating?

Well, that's what Egami says.

So it looks like Amamiya is having it both ways.

It looks like it.

- Egami probably hasn't noticed. - Right.

Even the naive Suetsugu has already noticed.

Don't spread it around.

Suetsugu?

Yes?

Can you file these?

By the end of the day.

- All of these? - Yes.

Can you also gather information about sexual crime cases...

in the 1930s?

Sexual crime cases in the 1930s?

By the end of the day too.

By the end of the day?

Excuse me.

I'm not just talking about his clothes.

He lacks the attitude of a prosecutor...

and common sense.

I don't get that at all!

You said he would be an excellent guy yourself.

That's why I said you can't have it both ways, Amamiya.

- It's doing two jobs at once. - Come on.

Can't you treat him even softer than usual?

We'll see how things go for now.

- Chief - Yes?

Congressman Misaki should be here soon.

Is that so?

Well, he was transferred here at this timing.

He must be someone who can do his job well.

It won't be a disadvantage to you.

I'll leave it to you.

Is anyone here?

Amamiya?

Amamiya? Are you here?

She's not here.

This...

Nice.

The blue is quite cute.

Sorry for coming in without asking.

It's fine, everyone is welcome here.

You're a good person.

He afforded it after lining his pockets.

Were these taken on the same day the bribe was accepted?

We can't use a photograph's date as official evidence.

Are they his family?

They were all together that day.

- Their statements all matched. - Then,

we just have to prove that he wasn't there that day.

Yes, or we won't be able to prosecute him.

Right, or have a public hearing.

It's a battle of patience with Misaki.

Prosecutor Kuryu,

it's time for work.

You've come here after being interrogated...

at the police station.

Here, a prosecutor will interrogate you again,

and if you're found to be guilty,

you'll be prosecuted and brought to trial.

The police have questioned you,

but you have the right to remain silent,

and the right to appoint yourself a lawyer.

(Prosecutor: Kuryu Kohei)

So...

You stole these, right?

- I said it wasn't me. - Really? How about these?

I bought them.

But they've all been used.

There are places that sell them like that.

Those! They come with a polaroid photo of the girl, right?

- You know about it! - But are they real?

The shop I go to is fine.

I've seen girls taking them in.

Are they professional sellers?

Yes, it's a give-and-take system.

But I prefer the amateur ones.

You know your stuff, sir.

Of course.

- Pretty girls and things like that. - Right.

And I think, "What? She wears these kinds?"

I know!

Then, there are a lot of panties hanging on the veranda.

- Yes. - Then, you just quickly nab one.

- That's theft. - Wait!

Isn't that an induced interrogation?

I don't know about difficult things like that.

- Sir. - Yes?

Anyhow,

there have been numerous complaints in that area.

Aren't you the one who stole them?

I told you it's not me.

- Then, who was it? - I don't know.

But there was a witness.

Yesterday, January 8, around 8am,

you stole a pair of panties hanging on the veranda...

and ran away on your bicycle.

You weren't fast enough, so you abandoned your bike...

and escaped on foot.

That was your bicycle, wasn't it?

The registration number corresponds to your address.

I've told the police, my bicycle was stolen.

Then, did you report that to the police?

There would be no use.

Do you think you can get away by saying that?

I'm not lying. I was at home at that time.

- Can you prove that? - I was watching television.

So you can't prove it.

I taped the anime that starts at 8am.

I tape it every day.

- Yesterday too. - You can set a timer to tape.

I don't know how to use those things.
