Salute!

At ease.

What happened to Nariai Takako was unfortunate.

I understand the urge to settle old score upon our comrade's death, but

we'll leave the investigation to the Public Security Bureau.

Until Captain Niina's official punishment is decided,

Vice Captain Nishino will now be the acting captain, and

in place of Nariai-kun,

I'm appointing Kanda-kun as a member of Task Force 1.

You'll be assisting other units for the time being.

That's all!

Yes, sir!

I just received this from the Public Security.

Takako-san's belongings.

They didn't return her computer, notebook,

or anything else they might need for the investigation.

They haven't found her phone yet?

Yeah.

What's wrong, Seno?

I was just thinking about what Takako-san said.

To arrest the criminal with these hands of mine.

Of course, I'll be the one who put the handcuff on.

Arrest and handcuff the criminal.

To accomplish it, she said, the team has to unite to arrest the criminal.

Arrest the criminal as a team?

That's so her.

I...

...want to handcuff the criminal with this hand.

We're pulling out of this case.

No time for melancholy.

Now let's pack up everything on her desk.

We'll have to send it to her family.

Captain... what is he doing now?

The True Nature of an Overly Beautiful Coast Guard Officer and Her Desire for Getting Ahead

"Nariai Takako"

"Captain Niina"

"Nariai Takako"

Hey.

He is the one

who performed autopsy on the bodies of Officer Nariai Takako and Joan Lopez.

Manabe-sensei.

Thank you for your time today.

No problem. I'm Manabe. Nice to meet you.

This is it.

They were both stabbed in the left chest from behind with a sharp blade, killing them instantly.

The width of the knife left at the scene matched the width of the stab wounds on both body.

This knife had both of their blood on it.

Same murder weapon?

So it was the same criminal?

Yeah, it was probably done by a professional.

We've been catching fish every day since you got here.

I'm popular at least with the fish.

All right, up here.

Shimizu-san.

What's the matter?

Nariai Takako's belongings.

I got them yesterday, though?

The private data that was on her computer.

I've brought it personally.

Private?

It's up to you to decide.

What's wrong?

The data from Takako-san's computer.

Shimizu-san of Public Security personally returned it to me.

Captain and Mako-san Wedding Reception Party?

Takako-san had always been planning on the surprise.

She did all this while investigating?

I still think we should investigate Takako-san's case ourselves.

You're still saying that nonsense?

We're joining up with Task Force 4 today.

Get ready now.

But...

Hurry up!

Kanda-san, can you help me?

Commence preparations.

Roger!

Alright. Kanda and I, Seno and Otomo will dive together.

Morita, you take orders from above.

Roger.

Seno, what are you doing with Kanda?

Nothing.

Seno!

We all share the same feeling.

But what we need to do now is the mission at hand.

Takako's case is not our mission.

What I have in front of me is Takako-san's case.

I have no intention of staying in DCU

where I can't mourn the death of my friend.

What did you find in the folder?

It was just as you predicted.

Takako-san...

In that folder, she hid a file she'd been investigating on her own.

But I'm surprised you could notice it.

Coffee...

Coffee?

When I brought her coffee, Takako-san hid something.

The screen at the time was the wedding party plan.

I see.

Kanda-san!

Sorry, I have to go.

The password is her late brother's birthday.

0928. I've sent you the data.

Thank you!

Aqua Deep...

A diving equipment company.

Brazilian man in drowning accident.

Two years ago?

Lopez?

I'm gonna pick up the ice for tonight.

Alright.

You're playing a fisherman here?

Not playing, I'm a fisherman.

Have you seen this?

We know who Takako really is.

Isn't that enough?

As if it's someone else's problem?

Not to mention the disgrace she's caused the Coast Guard.

The higher-ups are on edge.

You came all the way here to complain about that?

Seno said he'd arrest the criminal by himself and left this behind.

I told you.

Your way of doing things won't unite the team.

It's gonna be a disaster one day.

As a result, Takako was killed in the line of duty.

And now, Seno abandoned his duty and started to behave recklessly.

You'll have to deal with Seno yourself.

Because you're the one who got him into DCU.

That's an order from me, the acting captain.

- Excuse me. - Welcome.

I am Seno from the Coast Guard.

I have an appointment with President Tsukishima.

Seno-sama?

I just welcomed him in earlier.

What?

This is Kotogahama (beach), right?

That's right.

The sunset there is spectacular, isn't it?

The sky is reflected in the tide pool and the sunset looks like doubled.

I've seen this sunset from underwater when I dived before.

From underwater?

- You're an expert! - Nah, nah.

Have a sip.

Don't mind me.

I believe it's the terrorist we're now talking about, isn't it?

Yes. A young man named Rodrygo Sanchez.

I don't know him.

Of course. I know about the case.

I've frequented the Coast Guard station in Okunoto.

But I'm not aware of the terrorist.

Is that so?

Then what about her?

She is Nariai-san.

I saw her in the weekly article.

Actually, she came here the other day.

To ask about our products.

Are you referring to the drowning accident two years ago?

Yes. The victim was using our diving equipment.

And then, she wanted to see the report of the Accident Investigation Commission.

Excuse me, could you show me the report as well?

Of course. Wait a moment.

Did you just use my ID without my permission?

You're the one who left it behind.

Hold on.

Are you hungry?

Reminds me of the old days.

After I taught you how to swim,

we used to come here to eat.

Looks like your diving skill is improved a bit.

I know you're keeping up with the rehab.

Mako told me so.

You sent Mako-san to keep an eye on me, didn't you?

She is genuinely worried about you.

I told you I couldn't swim at one point in my life.

She knows about that.

You want to know how I overcame it?

Not really.

Okay, let me just tell you this.

I, too, had once gone through the treatment.

That's when the doctor told me.

"The best way to heal a painful memory is not to erase it,

but to overwrite it with a new experience."

So I overwrote it.

That's just a willpower.

Yeah. But by teaching you to swim,

I was slowly getting used again to the water.

Huh?

Well, not bad.

That made you a skilled swimmer and led you get into the Coast Guard.

What a convenient explanation.

I partake.

You'll just have to find your own experience that can overwrite it.

Impossible.

Honestly, I can barely dive in the pool.

My ears buzz just by looking at the sea.

Is the reason you returned your ID to avoid diving?

No, it's not.

So I can investigate Takako-san's case.

Let's join forces then.

First of all, we need to exchange information.

Just like this seafood ricebowl, the more ingredients, the better.

I'm all ears, but...

How did you reach Tsukishima?

I dived.

You found something underwater?

Not underwater, but through the fishermen.

The fishermen?

Just like the sea, the world of fishermen is connected.

I tracked down the drowning accident from two years ago.

From there, I found a diving store that the deceased Brazilian used to frequent.

That's how I reached Aqua Deep.

I heard the fishermen's voices like I hear the water, that's all.

And what did Tsukishima say?

Takako visited him to ask about that case.

I knew it.

But she left after finding out nothing's wrong with the diving equipment.

Incidentally, Tsukishima and Lopez didn't know each other.

That's not true.

I knew you got hold of a key tip.

She hid the files inside this folder.

It was mostly about Lopez.

The incident from two years ago

and the photo from earlier, are in here.

Rushing things alone as she pleased.

Is that the deceased Brazilian man?

Yes.

Did Takako also think Lopez killed him?

But Lopez did have an alibi.

That's why she suspected he was working with Tsukishima.

According to the local fishermen,

Lopez often approached vendors who visited the Coast Guard regularly.

It's possible he was gathering information about the Coast Guard from them.

If Tsukishima was one of them...

Takako-san realized the connection between the two.

I think there is a connection

between that incident and the current one.

I don't know if it'll work, but...

Let's ask that woman.

That day, you went to ask Takako-san to help you from getting deported.

Was that all?

Don't just sit there. Answer honestly, or you'll face even more serious charges.

Okay, let's change the question.

Do you know this man?

You threw away your last chance.

Maria Silva.

If you don't speak up,

we'll deport you as a terrorist.

I am not a terrorist.

No.

You're an international terrorist

who illegally left Brazil to plot a bombing in Japan.

You're a fellow of Joan Lopez!

No!

I didn't know he was a terrorist.

You knew him before coming to Japan.

Why did you hide it?

If you don't want to be deported,

tell us everything truthfully.

If you're deported as a terrorist,

what will people around there think of your family?

I'm sure you can imagine.

This is your last chance.

Who is this man?

Tell me!

You gave us no choice.

Seno.

Proceed her to deportation.

Yes, sir.

Tsukishima.

How was he related to Lopez?

I'm what people call a dogsbody.

I'd do anything when being asked.

So on the day Lopez fled the country,

what was the real reason you met with Takako?

There must be another reason.

He told me

to attach a GPS on her.

Is that Lopez's order?

Yes.

What for?

I don't know.

I just attached the GPS on as per the message said.

Message?

His instructions were always in short messages.

It came from a different number on the prepaid phone each time.

Then how did you receive the GPS?

Through the coin locker.

Coin locker?

Must be this locker.

According to her,

this is where the key is hidden.

On the day he disappeared, I got a message from him.

"I need money, put it in the coin locker behind the station."

"Then hide the key in the groove underneath," that's what it said.

I got another message the next day.

I recognized the number of the locker immediately.

Help me. I can't go back to Brazil yet.

I need to send money home.

She attached the GPS on Takako-san as instructed.

Takako-san was targeted even before she chased after Lopez.

Could the criminal be related to the Black Butterfly?

Why was Takako targeted?

That's what we need to find out.

Excuse me.

I hear you're reinvestigating Nariai Takako's case.

What is this about?

If that's not enough, this article has got the higher-ups on edge!

The overly beautiful female Coast Guard officer goes on a rampage

The secret behind the accident from two years ago

and the darkness of Japan Coast Guard

- A new article? - Yeah.

Now it's mostly about criticism of the Coast Guard.

If Deputy Director Hayakawa hears that you're taking a grandstand play in a situation like this...

You could be demoted as well!

I am prepared for it right from the start.

What?

If we can't mourn the death of one of our comrade, what kind of expert group are we?

I don't mind to get removed anytime from such an organization.

Seno said the exact same thing.

Goodness, you're kindred spirits.

Both of you are.

What you guys are after isn't Nariai Takako's case

but the drowning case from two years ago.

You found questionable points in the case, so

I granted you to investigate.

Is this enough?

Sakuma-san...

However.

You will keep me informed of your progress.

You hear me?

Very well, sir.

Today is our last day assisting the Task Force 4, right?

- How is captain doing? - You think he got fired?

There's an order from Chief Sakuma.

Looks like he has another mission.

Captain?

Chief Sakuma has granted me temporary reinstatement.

For a special mission.

Special mission?

We'll start the meeting as soon as he gets back.

"He"?

Seno?

Seno, you're coming back?

What is this about?

You sold them this information, didn't you?

What are you talking about?

This is all slandering Takako-san and the Coast Guard.

Why would Captain do that?

Things written about Takako-san in the middle of those slanders...

...was what I heard from her in person.

It's something only me and this man know about!

Captain, are you serious?

Please explain. Was this really your doing?

So what?

Bastard!

Seno!

What you're doing

is the same as lashing her!

Calm down!

I will never allow you to insult Takako-san!

What a noisy little brat.

It's the most effortless way!

Huh?

I'll use whatever I can get my hands on.

Stop fucking around!

Stop it!

Human nature is more apparent in a stormy sea than in a calm one.

The more it flares up, the more people will be provoked, and the culprit will reveal their rags.

I will definitely get the truth of this case.

Even if I have to flee to extraterritoriality.

No matter how long it takes!

I will pay back the criminal who killed Takako!

Takako was calling me before she died.

She was fighting to tell me something until the very last minute.

I can't let her thought be in vain.

That's why I sold it to the article.

To make as much uproar as possible.

That doesn't justify your means!

The most painful thing would be

to let this case go cold.

This is a fight to avenge Takako's death.

If you guys won't make a move, I'll do it on my own.

I've decided to take action.

I'll join you.

I'll join too.

Me too.

Ugh!

Fine!

Let me join you.

Nishino, what about you?

I have no choice but to follow Chief Sakuma's order.

- Let's start the meeting. - Alright.

That's the fishing boat Lopez used to escape.

It means this is the scene where Takako was murdered.

Public Security has already investigated, but...

There must be something we can find out.

Find out what it is!

Roger!

- Process this. - OK.

Nishino, how could you obey him without my consent?

I apologize.

But, sir.

For me, too, Nariai Takako was an important friend.

I want to avenge her death with my own hands, just as they do.

Please, sir.

I will continue to keep track of the captain.

Know that I will never excuse anything that backfires.

Certainly.

Captain!

Sand?

The sands detected contain nearly 50% quartz.

It's known as the "singing sands" from Kotogahama beach in Ishikawa Prefecture.

There's no record of that fishing boat ever going to Kotogahama, let alone Lopez.

That means this sand grains dropped by the killer from Kotogahama.

I think it's safe to assume so.

In this man's room, there was a photo of him diving at Kotogahama.

Tsukishima?

We'll jolt things with this first.

The article comes out tomorrow.

A new development in the case of the overly beautiful female Coast Guard officer!

Is the culprit someone related to Kotogahama?

Canvas the entire area of Kotogahama

and look for any trace of this man.

Yes, sir.

Is that right?

Thank you.

Captain!

The drowning case two years ago.

They said there were several divers on the scene.

If Tsukishima was among them

and had replaced the tampered regulator with a normal one...

We need to ask him directly.

That's what I thought, so I just made an appointment.

But he just suddenly left on a business trip.

He's reacting to the article.

In that case, we'll pay Manabe-sensei a visit to gather informations.

Alright.

For example, is it possible to intentionally cause asphyxiation

by pre-loosening the 13th nut on the second stage (regulator)?

I see.

That certainly would make drowning as the cause of death.

Sensei, can you testify to that?

Of course.

All right, we're counting on you.

Sure.

Thank you.

You were right, Captain.

We got some leads.

Good. That makes it clear now.

Yes.

However, circumstantial evidence only doesn't seem enough to corner him.

We need some kind of actual evidence.

We've searched high and low,

but we still haven't found Takako's phone yet.

It's highly possible the criminal takes possession of it.

Even so, how could we?

Lure the criminal out.

Lure him out? How?

Get him open the coin locker.

That's the way Lopez used.

Exactly.

If we send the criminal the same message

that was sent to Maria,

he'll definitely react to it.

Makes sense.

We sent him an email containing just the locker number.

Whoever opens the number 38 is the criminal.

He's here!

It says, "Give your smartphone."

Anything else?

Hold still!

Tsukishima?

He's nearby! Kanda, find the source!

I'm working on it.

Got it.

Multi-level parking garage, 600 meters away.

- All head over there! - Roger!

Otomo and Morita search the first floor.

- Seno, we're going up. - Roger!

Nobody's here.

Same here.

He must be still somewhere nearby!

Nishino-san!

- Is there Takako's phone? - No.

The location's moving. Southeast direction.

- The port! - He'll use the boat!

It'd be a trouble once he's on the sea.

- Get after him! - Roger!

You stay right here.

Found him!

I'll chase him.

Excuse us! Please clear the way!

Excuse us!

Dammit!

Manabe!

The criminal isn't Tsukishima.

But Manabe, the forensic professor.

Huh?

It all started with the drowning case two years ago.

When his real identity was exposed,

Lopez killed his friend and made it look like an accident to shut him up.

Manabe was in charge of the autopsy and covered it up.

I looked into him and found out he's a casino addict.

He even lost his house and family.

So that means he was paid to do a fake autopsy.

But why Takako-san?

In the middle of investigating Lopez,

Takako must have noticed Manabe's fraudulent autopsy.

Manabe-san.

You knew Sanchez was a terrorist, didn't you?

What are you talking about?

Manabe who was exposed

killed Takako to shut her up.

Just like two years ago, he made a fake report.

That's the truth.

When did you find him suspicious?

I, too, almost thought it was Tsukishima.

When I was trying to gather evidence to corner Tsukishima,

I visited Manabe to ask him to testify.

That's when I realized.

The sand from the aquarium in his lab.

When I visited him before, the quartz was magnificent.

This is it.

That sand had been replaced entirely.

He reacted to the article.

That's what I mean.

Investigate Manabe right away!

Yes, sir!

Captain, I have a favor to ask.

Finish up with this.

It was Takako-san's dearest wish.

You're right.

Let's end this with Takako's hands.

Located him! Southwest of the port!

Oh shit!

You're Manabe-sensei, right?

We're DCU of the Coast Guard.

How can I help you?

We meet again.

Get ready at that end of the pier now!

That's where we'll find the evidence we're looking for.

- All move now! - Roger!

Seno.

You stay here with him.

I'll dive.

Captain!

I will dive.

Alright. Go!

Yes, sir!

I hope we can dive together soon.

You're the one my brother risked his life for.

I'm happy to work with you!

This is my favorite coffee.

We all unite

to arrest the heinous criminals we've never been able to before.

And I'll put the handcuff on.

That was my dream.

Excuse me.

Can I go now, please?

I'm sorry, Sensei.

Could you cooperate with us for a bit longer?

Our team is one of the best in the DCU.

I found it!

Sensei.

This phone belongs to my subordinate, Nariai Takako.

I saw you throw it away just now.

That's because you guys are chasing after me.

I just spontaneously threw it out.

Why would you have the phone that should be in the criminal's possession?

It was sent to me. To the lab.

From who?

How could I know?

It just came out of nowhere.

Hey! Why are you doing! Give it back!

What the hell! No!

No!

Give it back to me!

Let go of me!

You've got an email.

"Suffer the same fate as Sanchez."

With a picture attached.

I'll be killed...

I'll be killed!

I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything!

So please help me!

Arrest me now!

I was just asked by!

By who? Tsukishima?

No!

I only sent him to check the locker!

Explain what's going on!

Because that woman started digging into the past!

The covered-up murder of Brazilian man two years ago?

That's right.

And then I got another request.

From the same person who asked for the cover-up.

Who is it?

I don't know.

You don't know?

All of our correspondence was done through email and locker.

On the back of the photo, "Kill" was written.

So you just killed her?

DID YOU?!

Stop it, Seno!

I chased the woman with the GPS.

When I got on the boat,

I found the Brazilian guy had been killed.

That's when I came up to make it look like it was done by the same person.

I pulled the knife from the guy's body.

I used the same modus operandi, and targeted the same area.

I approached her from behind.

Seno, don't!

Takako-san is...

She is our precious friend!

Give her back!

Give Takako-san back to me!

Let's end this with Takako's hand.

3:20 PM.

Manabe Muneo.

You're under arrest for murdering Nariai Takako!

I heard you're back as the captain.

An order from the top.

Well?

This is it.

We at Public Security weren't able to recover this submerged phone.

I thought the DCU might be able to.

We have someone who's pretty strong in that field.

I'll let that person try.

Good work.

As soon as the case is solved,

the article flips over.

That's how the world works.

So it was all your figuring?

It couldn't be.

Oh, right.

I'll return this.

After the case was solved,

I was going to hand in my resignation.

You don't need to.

You're ready to dive again.

You were able to overwrite it.

Takako-san...

...brought me back to the sea.

Yeah, she did.

And she reunited our team.

What a great woman she was.

Just so you know.

I still haven't accepted you.

I'll keep looking into what happened 15 years ago.

Suit yourself.

Oh, yeah!

I totally forgot about my promise with Takako-san.

Promise?

"Captain Niina & Mako-san Wedding Party Plan"

Now everybody.

Let's welcome our bride and groom!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

And now.

The first spoonful bite from Mako-san to Captain Niina.

Please do!

"Deputy Director Hayakawa"

This is Nishino.

Sir, I was about to come by to give you the report tomorrow.

Actually, I've already thought of the next move.

Delicious.

Who's calling?

It's from Kanda.

What's the matter?

It's about Takako-san's phone we got back from Public Security.

Is it still impossible for us to restore it?

I restored it.

I did but...

I've found something unbelievable.

I'll be right over.

I'm sorry.

What Takako-san was trying to inform you.

I got the answer.

Just before Takako-san called you,

she took one photo.

A photo of Lopez's phone screen.

And this is the photo.

Nariai...

He is alive?

Thank you.
