The murder weapon was a hunting rifle.
- A rifle?

The bullet's still lodged in there.
Can't be totally certain, but it makes sense.

A rifle, huh...

From that angle then,

the shooter was standing on the 4th...

no, the 5th floor.
- 'Scuse me.

Inspector... About the
Oue building's 5th floor window...

Oh, that one?
- Yes.

There's only one room on that floor,
where 20 men were working.

So impossible.
- And the 6th floor?

Same situation. No
one saw anything odd.

The roof is covered by
the nameplate, too.

It would have been possible
from the Yusei building,

but there's no covering, so
it's visible from Takashimaya.

It's unthinkable to begin with.

And we know that someone
was taking a break on the roof.

The workers from the 114 Bank behind
would have noticed too, naturally.

I wonder if he could have shot
from somewhere in Takashimaya?

In any case, the bullet pierced the
car roof, and hit the victim's head.

Let's move the car
back to the crime scene.

There's no mistaking it.
- Is that so? Thanks.

Excuse me a moment.

Hello. Where's the phone?
- This way.

Hello? It's me.
- Sir? It's Akine.

The fingerprint test results state
that the license is the victim's.

I'm going to try visiting
the address written on it.

Best do it quickly.

I'll try getting some help
from the Tsukiji precinct.

Very well. Good luck, then.

Thanks very much.

Sumikawa...Sumikawa!

You guys have worked with
Akine before, haven't you?

He's heading to the victim's address now.
Could you follow that lead as well?

This is the address.

As long as the
victim was around here...

it's impossible to know
where the shooter was located.

What's up?

Come with me.
- Yes, sir.

What about from here?

But Chief...
it's totally visible from Takashimaya.

Chief.

No one can see you from here.
- I see...

It stinks indeed...companies above the
5th floor here own their own offices,

so it'd be possible to come
up here without anyone noticing.

Nah, it's impossible...

Even if you tried to shoot
from here, you can't see any cars.

Wait a second...
to aim from here, you'd have to...

From here!

If can shoot from the left.
The shooter was left-handed.

"Fujimi-so", huh?

Well, when this place was built,
you could see Mt. Fuji just fine...

That was over 40 years
ago, though, wasn't it.

This place stinks.

How long since Saeki's been back?
- Let's see...

It's been about 3 months, I suppose.
He was often away for a month or so.

Hey.

Are you Sumikawa?
Nice to meet you.

I'm your backup.
- Appreciate it. Thanks for coming.

Guess it's bad luck...
getting put with you.

Found out anything?
- Not yet.

Here - this is a recent photo.

What was Saeki's line of work?
- He didn't usually say much...

Although once, he drove a taxi home...

Taxi? What was it called?

Kai...Kaishin Taxi, I think?
- Kaishin?

Kaishin, Kaishin, Kaishin...
here it is, Kaishin Taxi:

Adachi Ward, Iyomachi
and Senju Suehirocho.

There's one more in Nakano Ward...

Thing about detectives...
they investigate on foot.

Thanks very much.

Here he is. He worked for 1 day.

Fired after a day?

One of our drivers suddenly fell ill,
so we had to hire a replacement.

It was just for 1 day - a man
that came from the Aoi Club.

Aoi Club...?

TAIYO COMMERCE

Excuse me...is there a man
named Atsumi Saeki here?

He's my friend.

Atsumi Saeki?

Never heard of him.
- Pretty sure I heard he was here.

Well he's not. You're mistaken.

This is him.

Perhaps we should take a look
at your logbook for February 28th?

You're a cheeky one.

Show us your logbook.

Well, er, I'm very busy, you see...

Not too busy to have all
these guys here though.

Looks like you could
start a baseball team.

Surely you jest. My apologies.

When did he start here?

He'd come and go...as you
can see, we're not that busy.

Is there anyone that
was close to this man?

Now that you mention it, there was
a woman that was often with him.

A woman?
- That's right.

Name was Micchan, or something.
Couldn't tell if she was younger or older.

I think she was from a bar
near the station or something, called...

This place?
- ah, yes.

KOGETSU

"CLOSED"

Sorry, we're closed today.

I came to see Micchan.
She works here, right?

She quit, about a month ago.
- She quit?

So where is she now?
- No idea. Not my business anymore.

Which precinct are you from then?
Quite the face you've got.

You there - can I have a word?

You know him?

We're pretty popular, you know.

We get lots of customers every day.
I can't remember all of their faces.

But I guess if he was here, I'd recognize
him...he'd be looking around restlessly.

Is that all?

Even though it's my day off,
I can't even watch TV in peace...

Forgive the intrusion.

What a difficult old woman.
- Sumikawa.

I found out where this Mitsu is.
- Eh?

She's in a hospital in Funabashi.

Have you pinpointed the culprit?
Who is it, Sumikawa? Tell us.

Stingy bastard.

We're back.
- Good work.

We checked the victim's apartment...

and vehicle club where he worked,

but no leads.

There doesn't seem to be
anyone who knows him.

Can I have a word?

There's a report from
Ishikawa prefecture.

6 years ago, the victim left home
and went missing.

He was destitute
after losing his teaching job.

He was part of the army's
secret service during the war.

It says he learnt to drive
in the military.

Sumikawa...

One more thing...

the victim's woman
is in hospital in Funabashi.

We might be able to learn
something there.

I'll look into it later.

Investigation HQ...
for you.

As suspected, it was a stolen car.

I'm at the Ryogoku car dealer now.

The car was stolen
early on March 5 from outside.

Of course, notification of the theft
was done that day.

Rifles are generally smuggled goods,

so it's highly unlikely the buyer's name
will be in the logbook.

Yes, same with the bullets.

Huh?

Yes, and for someone to make a
single fatal shot from that distance,

they'd have to be as good
as a championship marksman.

The shop owner is here too...

and says there isn't a left-handed
prize winner in their records.

Hey, they're here!

I apologize for the wait.
We will now give our statement.

The Tsukiji precinct's investigation
bureau has begun their search.

The daylight murder brought
crowds of onlookers,

and stopped traffic for an entire day.

An investigation team was
immediately setup at Tsukiji,

but they have only revealed that the
victim is Atsumi Saeki, 45, unemployed.

A man missing in the Northern
Alps since the 16th has...

Nothing but doom and gloom
on the news today.

Hello? It's Masuda.
- Yes?

The item has arrived
just as you ordered.

Thank you. Be careful
not to let your guard down now.

NEUROLOGY / PSYCHIATRIC
WARD

She has third-degree
withdrawal symptoms from heroin.

Let me see her.

She just arrived.
I doubt you'll have any luck.

You're Micchan, aren't you?

Do you know this person?

It's no use. Stand back, please.
Calm down!

It's alright! Calm down!

So she's a drug patient.
- Yes.

It was useless.

She can't even control her body
thanks to the withdrawals.

Look into the lead with the
driver tomorrow, then.

The bar, Kogetsu, is fishy too.

Chief...
It could just be a hunch,

but I'm thinking drugs play
a big part in this case.

Huh? Drugs?

Judging from what we saw today,
that's what I'm feeling.

Well, that could be the case.

For now... get some sleep.
We've got a busy day tomorrow.

Drugs?

Didn't seem like the victim did them.

Definitely some connection though...

this case reeks of narcotics.

Just a hunch?

Young detectives like you
make fun of hunches, don't you?

No, I think they're real!

Go ahead and
say what you think.

No matter what we think of each other,
work is work.

Sumikawa... I...

Are you with Akine again?
- Yeah.

What do you want?

I brought you some spare underwear.

Give it to someone.
- Can't you get changed?

I'll take the dirty ones home.
- Silly, I don't have time?

Let's get going.

See you.

I hear you've been meeting
up with my younger sister.

I thought I told you not to.

Actually, I'd like to talk
to you about that...

Not now.
We're on the job.

Learn anything?
- Nope, no good.

Excuse me.
Do you know this man?

No idea, sorry.
- Where are all these cab drivers?

- Eating at Sankame.
- Thanks.

Thank you.

Know this man?
- Who? Ahh... sorry, no.

Sit, sit.

Have you seen this man?

Who knows.

Ah, I have.
At the mahjong parlor.

Never seen him, but...
doesn't look like a mahjong player.

Ah, it's Hakofugu!
- What's Hakofugu?

I don't know him.

What? This one?
- You've met him, right?

No idea.
- At a bar, right?

A bar?
- You met him there, right?

No idea what you're on about.
- Okay, got it.

Good evening.
- Hello.

What'll it be?
- So... let's have a drink...?

The man the other day...
seems he's called Hakofugu.

Good evening.

Sorry I don't know...
anyone named Hakofugu.

Hey.

It's been a while.

Don't! He's upstairs.

Can I use the bathroom?
- Go ahead.

I'm done.
- Going home already?

TOILET

How much?
- Eh? Check please.

That'll be 100 yen.

Thank you very much.

What is it?

Take a right there.

KANTO NARCOTICS CONTROL BUREAU

Excuse the theatrics.
I'm drug enforcement officer,Hayashi.

My name's Sumikawa.

I'm Akine.

We're running a private investigation
into Kogetsu at the moment.

What a surprise!
You appeared suddenly.

Actually, we've got our eyes
on that place too...

in relation to the Chuo murder.

Yes, about that case...

the victim, Atsumi Saeki,
was my colleague.

He was a drug enforcement
officer - working undercover.

Really?
- Yes.

A message just came through...

tomorrow morning at police HQ,

1st division and public security,

have a joint investigation meeting.

The fact that the victim
was Saeki Atsumi,

a drug enforcement
officer acting undercover,

was confirmed on the night of the incident
by public security;

however, we feared
it would hinder the investigation...

if the press caught wind of it.

So we refrained from
making a statement then.

So, until the case is closed,
we'd like you also...

to ensure that no classified information
is leaked.

Now...

about the drug-related
background of the case...

the chief of public security will speak.

Drug-related incidents
within Tokyo up until now...

in locations such as
Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Ikebukuro -

have been centered
in the Yamanote sector.

However, there has been an
increase in incidents in...

Senju, Tateishi, and Koiwa
since last spring,

surrounded by the Arakawa River.

This can be considered as evidence
of a new smuggling ring.

As such, our investigation continues at present.

Now then, we have documents
with concrete information in them.

I'll now hand it over to an officer
from the Ministry of Health and Welfare.

This is a secret film that
Saeki took, with our cooperation,

to serve as material for the investigation.
It shows part of the organization.

It's only an amateur film,
so it's not so clear.

As it was taken of the places
where he was working undercover...

the face of the person that killed him
may appear somewhere.

so please consider that
as you watch it.

This is the Keisei Tateishi station.

This is Honden-Tateishi city.

Here we can plainly see
a drug deal taking place.

This woman is either
a courier, or one of the dealers.

These are a few of the dealers.

This dry-cleaning store was
clearly dealing as well,

but they disappeared sometime
in the last 2 or 3 months.

This is the bar Kogetsu that investigators
Sumikawa and Akine were staking out.

We can see dealers and couriers,
as well as clients coming in and out.

That's him.

This man is known generally known as Takeyama.

We have our eye on him as some kind
of wholesaler operating in Tateishi,

but as he constantly
changes his address,

we currently have no idea
as to his whereabouts.

We have reason to believe
the places he frequents

are used as locations for drug deals,
or some kind of communication.

This nightclub serves
as their point of contact.

Damn it! He was playing dumb...

However, the target is constantly on
the lookout, so surveillance is difficult.

The people seen here are
personnel that frequent the place.

Saeki went as far as learning mahjong
to aid in his undercover investigation...

but this was the last time
we saw him.

Saeki was a close friend of mine.

I hope... that you'll assist me
in putting his soul to rest.

I got the things you asked for, Aunty.
- Oh, thank you.

Natto, snacks, meat --

What are you doing?!

How 'bout you admit it.
We caught you red handed.

The drugs are coming from
Takeyama, right? We know all about it.

If you already know,
then why are you asking me?

We're asking you where
Takeyama is hiding!

I've no idea.
- Liar!

I'm telling the truth!

The owner's blind
so he can't go get them,

so he asks me to go fetch
them for him, that's all.

Right.

So the owner's in on
it as well, then.

No, I mean...
- Hirose!

I don't know how much
your courier fee is,

but Takeyama is earning
several times more than you.

And, the real boss earns several
times that, just by folding his arms.

Don't you think it's stupid?

Or...are you covering for Takeyama?

You might be thinking
that way about Takeyama, but...

What are you saying?

The police aren't blind, you know.
- Detective.

I'll tell you. Takeyama's address.

You're not supposed to know it!
- I do!

And I'll tell.
- Wait! If you do that...

I don't care! That guy...
- Don't! Don't say it!

Where is he? Where's Takeyama?!
- I don't know his address, but...

his phone number is...
- Don't! You'll be killed!

The number is 444-7020...

Make way, please.

You've seen him before.
He's your buddy Saeki.

I don't know.
I've never seen him.

Don't be so cold.
Who bumped him off?

Hey! If you keep your trap shut
you'll go down for the murder!

Give me a break!

I don't even know this guy, and I sure
as hell don't know who killed him!

What's this place, then?
It's really cold in here.

Don't catch cold.
I'm used to it, but take care.

This is Saeki.
Look familiar?

Never seen him before.
- Take a good look!

Let's begin again.
You don't need to lie.

Say when you know something,
and when you don't.

You just need to be honest.

Do you know this man?
- No, I don't.

How about him?
- No idea.

And this man?

I don't know him!

What about him?
- Nope.

The machine doesn't lie.

Even if he tries not to talk,
it'll record his reactions.

But... will he slip up?
- Who knows,

but we might learn
something by pressing him.

I don't think he'll give us anything.

Really? Why not?

He'll get used to the machine.

If he does,
it won't register his patterns...

so he won't confess.

What do you suggest?

Why not let him go?

If you do, he might lead us
to the drug runners, or the target.

In other words, the left-handed
sharpshooter - from his area of activity.

Sounds dangerous.

Police Department? Get me
1st Section Chief Aramaki.

Let's give it a shot.

MAHJONG

Welcome.
- Hi.

Are you by yourself?
- Yes.

My friend'll come later.

That's pi-fu dora-dora
chaka-chaka. 3-9.

What an insult.

You quitting already?

Hey.

Hey...Sumikawa!

Inoue! You're in Tokyo!

Yep! It's been a while!
Since the army? Are you well?

His lefthand...

Inoue was left-handed!

Not only that...

Just like the good old times!

JULY 1ST, 1:45

THE WAR FRONT IN CENTRAL CHINA:
ALL PREFECTURAL HIGHWAY
AFTER THE WITHDRAWAL ORDER

Hey!

Hey!

Was it you shooting just now?

Left-handed, and a star marksman...
he fits the bill perfectly.

And, he's a regular
at that mahjong club.

You were war buddies?
- That's right.

During the 2 months of withdrawal.

He's changed rather
a lot since then, though.

So it will be hard for you.

No. It's convenient, in some ways.

He runs a boat house in Nishi-Arai at
the moment. I'm visiting him on Sunday.

Seems like he sells
fibre for a company, too.

So he's nothing to you, not even a friend?

Well, I wouldn't say that...

He's just suspicious
of an old war-buddy, Chief.

I think he sounds like our man...
- No...!

I mean, not yet.

I just have a hunch, that's all.

Understood. I'll have just
the two of you look into it for now.

Takeyama is still important,
so I can't give you any help.

Sumikawa.

About this Inoue...

from what I'm hearing...
less than a year after he's demobilized,

he fled his hometown of Onomichi,

leaving his mother alone...
it doesn't add up.

Shouldn't we look into it?
- Right.

How about you ask
the prefectural police?

Perhaps.

But we need to ask
directly to get the details.

Feel like paying a visit?

Sumikawa has plans to meet Inoue
though, so how about you go alone?

If that's alright by Sumikawa.
- Yeah.

I'll be keeping an eye on Inoue.
- Right, then.

I'll organize a replacement
to stakeout Takeyama.

ONOMICHI

Here.
- That bus.

Thank you.

SATO INOUE

It's been around 5 years.

I got this letter from Kobe, but...

it was just bits of information.
Of where he is, what he's doing nothing.

I see.

When you go back, tell - Sumikawa,
was it? His war buddy?

Tell him that I give him my best.

My son lacks
a certain filial piety.

I'd like to ask one other
thing, if you don't mind.

Inoue was to be married
to a "Mio", or something,

right after he came home, wasn't he?

Yes.

What happened to the marriage?
- Well...

After Inoue came home,
Mio had already married someone else.

Is that so...
- Ryohei has terrible luck.

He shouldn't have, but he went to see her
- and then that terrible thing happened...

What happened?

He ended up in a fight
with Mio's husband, Hattori.

There was a knife, and...

That's ancient history now.

Like the change in climate
this time of year,

this wound has stopped hurting -
I don't think about Ryohei at all anymore.

Hey, Mio!
- What?

A man from Tokyo is
here asking about Ryohei.

Pour some tea, would you?
- That's an old story...

Here it is!

Thank you.

Let me take a look.

INFLICTING BODILY INJURY
RYOHEI INOUE

"The defendant states
that the witness broke

their promise of marriage one-sidedly..."

"I do not remember
making any promises."

"But you did use words
to that effect, didn't you?"

"No."

"The defendant declares
that in correspondences

you made to him during the war,

you repeatedly told him
to 'come home safely'."

I may have written
something like that,

but I imagine that I was trying to
do my duty from the home front.

When the defendant left for the front,
you gave him a photo of yourse!f-

what were your feelings at that point?

He told me to give
it to him, so I did.

I just thought it might comfort him.

I read that all soldiers
carry photos of girls

with them, and show them to each other.

Have you ever given your
photo to anyone else?

Yes. All with the same intention.

If they thought that it meant I wanted
them to come home safely to me, then...

that's a mistake. It's a nuisance.

You were married
as of August 1946 -

what were your feelings toward
the defendant at that time?

It's not as if I made any promises,
so I wasn't feeling anything!

Even if I did promise him - it wasn't the

kind of world where
waiting alone was easy!

Nothing but doom
and gloom every day...

only rich people
could afford to eat well -

how could I wait, starving, for someone I
didn't know was dead or alive?

Both of my parents died.

There's only two things a
girl left behind like that could do:

get married, or become a whore!
There was no other choice!

You're not lying, are you?

As if I would!

Why are you being so cruel only to me?
Please, let me go home now!

Here... a souvenir from Onomichi.

Thank you.

My brother got very drunk last night.
He's still asleep.

Is that so?

There was something I wanted
to tell him about. I'll wait at HQ.

I'll wake him up, then?

No, please don't.
- Why not?

I'm a little scared.
- Oh...

I want us to meet more often.

Yukiko...

Let's talk about us
after this case is closed.

He's up. Noboru! Akine is here!

Good morning.
I got back this morning.

Water.
- Don't want to freshen up?

Get me water!

Get your own water next time.

Report anything at HQ.

I don't want you
to bring the case in here.

But... I wanted you to hear
what I felt about the trip to Onomichi.

How's it looking?

Suspicious, to be honest. However...

I'd say this man... this fellow Inoue...
was rather unfortunate.

That's the feeling I get.

Hey!

Did it take you long?

That's your place?
- That's right.

Just my little hide-a-way.
Doesn't look like someone's home.

It's nice and quiet.
- That's the best part.

You get more of the merrymaking type,
rather than businessmen like me, right?

Some guys used to come...
to shoot ducks here.

Do you still do some shooting?

No, I'm not in any position to.

Yoshiko! We have a visitor!

Excuse the intrusion. I'm Sumikawa.

Welcome.
- This is my wife.

This is Sumikawa - I told you about him.
He saved my life!

That's a bit of an exaggeration.
- Sumikawa!

Sake, or beer?

I'm fine...
I drank too much last night.

Then, beer it is.

Alright - buy this at the grocer,
and this at the liquor shop.

Get them to deliver
the beer - it's heavy.

Don't be in a rush -
the cars are dangerous.

What... are you moving?

I'm thinking of moving back to
Onomichi, actually. Tokyo's no good.

Aki's going to give birth too.

Here, Aki!

HAM - 200gm

MAYONNAISE - SMALL JAR

PEANUTS - 2 BAGS,

CANNED SALMON

In here, Aki!
- Welcome.

Beer, a case? - Ya
For delivery? - Ya.

Missus ... looking for this?

I can't do the shopping without this!
Thank you!

Let's go, Aki!
- Thank you, come again.

She's a little...y'know.

She forgets what to buy, so
her husband makes her take a list.

Why aren't you married?

I married once, but it was a failure.
Didn't feel like it after that.

I thought that once, too.

I messed up 3 times with women
since coming to Tokyo...

But... now with Yoshiko...
she's a really great girl.

She relies on me,
on account of her slowness.

I feel like I can
relax around her, too.

Delivery!
- Thanks.

Hey...!

Well! thought it was a golf club,
but it's a rifle.

Just something a customer left behind.

Let's have a toast.

Okay.

To your dog's pups, then.

Cheers.

What did you do after you left home
6 years ago before Tokyo...

Who cares about that?

Can't get rid of your cop habits, eh?
- Huh?

I just remembered. You were a cop
before the army, right?

Let's let bygones be bygones.

I'm back!

What's up? Something funny happen?

I met a stranger.
He called me "Missus", you know.

Really!
I bet you were happy to hear that.

Right...
write down your address for me.

I'll visit some time.

A veteran, you might say. Sumikawa
is a familiar face at the Tsukiji station.

Is that so...

They say he's been a detective
for over 10 years,

but it's hard to tell.
He's hard to approach...

He doesn't associate much
with his neighbors.

Do you have a message to pass on?
- No. I just heard he lived here, so...

I see. I'm not sure about the detective,
but his sister should be back soon...

I'll come by another time. Thanks.
- Don't mention it.

Hey.

Hey. Thanks for the other day.

Hey... I thought you'd come.

Uh...

I was in the area running
an errand for the company.

Whatever.
Want a boat ride?

Isn't it too cold these days?

Not at all - it's fine.
You get in first.

Take care!

I never thought
we'd meet again like this.

Nobody knows the future.

You know... until we
met at the mahjong parlor...

I had totally forgotten about you.

You're a cold-hearted man.

And you've always been
terribly meddlesome, too.

Time to die.
You're getting in the way.

What are you doing?
Quit fooling around.

You may be a good detective,
but I'd be happier if you weren't.

There's no evidence
against me - only you.

Wait!

D'you think you'll get away
if you kill me?

It's not just me
keeping an eye on you.

I've got other detectives that
watched us sail out on the boat!

You bastard!

Why would you
go after an old war buddy?

No! Wait, Inoue!

Sure, I suspected you.

I even spoke to people in Onomichi.

But that was because...
I wanted to make sure

you weren't connected to this incident!

Can't you see...

how much I hoped to find...

you had nothing to do with this?

As if I could!

As long as you're after me, I have to...
- You idiot!

What will Yoshiko do?

I'm fine.
I'm all alone, after all.

But if you do me in...
you won't get off scot free.

After the incident with Mio,

I sent...
a postcard asking to see you.

I felt only you
would understand how I felt.

Sorry. I had so many big cases...
I had no time to reply.

I Kobe, I got involved with...
an awful woman.

She squeezed me
for all I was worth.

So desperate
I had nothing to lose.

Like in war when there's no food,
you eat anything... even inedible grass.

I finally found myself
selling her to some guy.

Is that still going on?

Somewhere in Tokyo...
I'm sure she's found another sucker.

You know, don't you?

Tell it just to me, at least.

You're talking like I'm the culprit.

Saeki...
was an undercover drug cop.

He was killed for that.

The shooter...

might not have known he was...
an undercover cop.

He might have...
just bumped him off...

thinking he was one of their own.

Yoshiko is a good woman.

She doesn't know anything, does she?

As your friend...
I'll do anything I can.

If you're worried,
you can stay at mine.

Can you wait one day?

One day?

Just give me that much.

Then I'll come to you.

Is that a promise?
- Yeah.

For me...
it's like I saved you on the battlefield...

now you're saving me...
means they cancel each other out.

Chief...
I really think I'm onto something.

He was prepared
to say anything today.

He also promised...
to meet me tomorrow.

I don't know. If he changes his mind
and runs, Takeyama might...

This guy has a woman.

One he's madly in love with...
so no need for worry.

And we don't... have enough evidence yet
to arrest him for murder.

The rifle might not be his.
We don't want to mess it up.

Tomorrow...
we might actually learn something...

if we monitor where he goes.

Just don't take your eye off him.
I'll send you backup.

Hello? It's me.

What? Takeyama's body?
Where's the crime scene?

It was strangulation.

He's been dead over 20 hours...

so it must have happened
right after he left his apartment.

One of his drug buddies.
- Yes.

They found out we questioned him,
and took him out.

I apologize.

I suggested we let him go.

Not at all.
We all agreed.

But...
- Don't sweat it. What's done is done.

I'm getting concerned, Sumikawa.

About what?
- About Inoue.

Yoshiko.
- Hm?

Listen, Yoshiko...
- What is it?

Before... I take you to Onomichi,

I'm thinking about
going there alone first.

Can't we go together?
- No.

I haven't visited my
mom in a long time,

so I think I should go
and talk to her first.

I'll come and get you right after.

Will you be alright
alone until then?

Of course.
I won't be alone.

Just... come back right away.

Alright.

Yoshiko...

if there's anything troubling you...
go to him...

the man earlier... Sumikawa.

I asked him for you. Alright?
- Sure.

What is it at this hour?

I ought to say the same to you...
coming home drunk...

Sumikawa... it's about Inoue.

Again with that nonsense?
- Sorry.

Think it over again, please.
It's dangerous to let him go.

If something happens, his wife...
- Quit worrying over nothing.

Just follow the investigation.

Yoshida and the others are
keeping watch as we speak.

Sumikawa...

it was me who suggested
letting Takeyama free.

So...
it's as if I killed him myself.

Fool.

As if anyone would worry about that.
- But I do.

It's natural for humans to worry!

Listen, pal... you'd better not
be calling me inhuman.

Simikawa...

could you rest easy, if something...
happened to Inoue?

Akine.

This might be Inoue's
last night with his wife.

Are you saying I should barge in?
- No!

I would never...
- The way I feel...

how would you know?!
- Sumikawa...!

You can yell all you like, but
I'm opposed to your methods this time.

I have to think that for you...
arresting a criminal is more important...

than your own friendship!

Shut your trap!

Get out!

Noboru!

I told you not to date him.

Brother...
why don't you like Akine?

Why do you always
have to yell at him?

Because I'm thinking of you.
- Liar.

It's because he doesn't listen to you...

because he knows your weakness,
that's why.

You're cowardly.

It's because he's a good detective.

He's good and he's enthusiastic.
He's a real detective.

I don't want you
marry a man like that.

Your wife didn't leave you...
because you were a detective.

It was because you don't
understand women's feelings.

What? What do you know?

You're selfish and arrogant.

That's why she ran away, you weirdo.

Different from Akine.

Sumikawa!

How dare you.

I... forbid you from
seeing each other.

Got it?

Noboru!

You're an awful person!

You don't care about me, do you?
- You idiot!

I wouldn't worry if I didn't!
- So what, then?

It was you that said Akine was
great, a good guy, wasn't it?

I did!
That's why he's no good!

Soon... he'll think...

that catching the criminal
is more important than friendship.

I can't have you
marry a guy like that.

Yukiko!

Detective's are... just like that.

Why do you need
the money so suddenly?

You can't say?
What?

And you want to
call our deal off?

You're saying you want to cut ties?

Understood.

A promise is a promise.
The money will be paid.

By the way, Inoue...

what will you do
to guarantee us...

That no matter what,
you won't cause us any harm.

Is that a threat?
Are you saying you can't trust me?

Trust...

Very well. I understand.

You may come and get the money.

Come and get it?

I don't have time to.

I want you to deliver it here.

You're awfully cautious.
Where, then?

How about...

on the roof of the
Matsuya department store in Asakusa?

No later than 3 pm.

It's settled, then.

Look for a checkered golf bag.

Bye.

Hello? This is Yoshida.

Ah, Yoshida. Where are you?

In front of Matsuya in Asakusa?

And you don't know
who he called?

Got it.
Keep following him, then.

Sumikawa is keeping
watch over at the boathouse.

Seems Inoue told his wife
he's going to return the rifle, and left.

I guess that's why
he made that phone call.

Sorry to keep you waiting.
I'm sure he'll be home soon.

So you don't know who
he's returning the rifle to?

No idea.

I heard you guys will be
moving over to Onomichi.

Yep. He said he's
going alone first, though.

Alone? When?
When does he leave?

When he's finished.

With what?
- Who knows?

You didn't ask?

I...don't really know anything.

Never mind.
He'll be back soon, I'm sure.

They say the sea at
Onomichi is beautiful.

Hm?

Apparently it's way more
pretty than Tokyo's!

You heard that from Inoue?
- Yeah.

The first time I saw Tokyo Bay
was the day I got married.

That right?
- That day...

we put 2 flags on that boat,
and sailed down this river.

Down, down, down the river.

And then out into Tokyo Bay!

We went round and round
through all the boats...

and then... he told me...

"the sea at Onomichi,
is much, much more beautiful than this!"

Sometimes...
I have dreams about Onomichi.

It's strange, isn't it? Dreaming about
a place you've never been.

But I did.

The stairs!

Dammit...

C'mon.

Mrs. Inoue! Mrs. Inoue!

Telephone call!
- Okay! Thank you!

It's from your husband.
- Thanks.

Hello?

Hello? It's me, Yoshiko.

Hi - everything's all finished.

I'm thinking of catching a train
to Onomichi tonight.

Yoshiko...did anyone
visit you at home?

Sumikawa?

Yeah. He's been
waiting there since noon.

Hello?
Come back soon, won't you?

Hello? Hello?

Huh?

You're going already?
Why?

That's Inoue, right?
What's he saying?

He's not coming home
before he leaves. Hello?

Sumikawa's there, isn't he?

Listen, Yoshiko... I'll call
when I get to Onomichi. Until then...

What?
- Give it to me. Hello?

Inoue! Inoue...
what about our promise, then?

Hello? Hello? Hello?

Inoue! He!!o? He!!o?!

So Inoue met with someone after he

slipped away from us at
the department store?

Yes. That's what he meant by
"everything's all finished".

What an odd thing to do...

Chief - he broke his promise.
He's going to leave tonight.

He might make a break for it.

Sir! Arrange a warrant for his arrest
as a suspect of the murder incident!

OSHIAGE STATION

(speaking Chinese)

Everything's going
according to plan.

Drive me to Shinagawa!

Onomichi.

"Passengers without an express ticket

are advised to purchase
one from inside the train."

"This train is the 9:40 pm
Aki Express to Hiroshima."

Understood.
That was from Shinagawa Station.

Inoue was apparently not seen
on the 9:40 pm Aki Express.

- Got it.
- Everything under control, Sumikawa?

- He's going in the opposite direction...
- No, he wouldn't...

What about the Galaxy Express?

Hello?

About the 8:40 pm Galaxy Express -
it doesn't look like Inoue got on board.

Understood.

Message from Shinagawa Station.

No sign of Inoue
on the 8:50 pm Second Ikoma.

Got it. Second Ikoma
at Shinagawa Station.

Looks like he didn't get on
the Galaxy at Yokohama either.

OGAKI, 11:00 PM
OSAKA, 11:30 PM

Quite a hopeless situation,
isn't it?

Looks like you made
an oversight, Sumikawa.

But...

Where are you going?

I'm going to go
keep watch, too.

He's a stubborn man.

Lid you think you
could run from me?

Run? If I was running, I'd have thrown
you into Tokyo Bay yesterday.

Don't act like you saved my life!
You were the one that broke the promise!

Don't get carried away.

I couldn't leave
Yoshiko like that.

I was thinking I'd leave everything
up to my mother, and turn myself in.

I wanted to leave all
the money to Yoshiko.

You got the money, then?

Yeah. I picked it up today.

So you wanted to bring
it back home?

Use it to support Yoshiko
and my mother, at least --

I'm arresting you for
the murder of Saeki.

You said you picked up the money, right?
That was it just then, I bet.

- That's proof.
- What?!

I had no dirt on you until now...

I let you go free so that
I could get hold of some!

You bastard!

If only we could have got his approval
about us while he was still alive...

Hey - Akine.

Go and tell Inoue's wife
about what happened.

I guess the handcuffs
mean he was our guy.

Who knows. Either way, the
investigation is back to square one.

- Good morning.
- What is it?

It's about your husband...

Oh, you know him?

My husband is...
it's 6:30 now, right?

That means he's going
through Kobe as we speak.

He left for Onomichi last night.

He said he'd come back and
get me right away. Didn't he, Aki?

Must be tough being
alone until then.

I'm fine! If anything happens,

I can just go see Sumikawa,
a friend of my husband's.

Aki!...Aki!...

SUMIKAWA - TAKE CARE
OF YOSHIKO INOUE
Aki!...Aki!...

SUMIKAWA - TAKE CARE
OF YOSHIKO INOUE

I'm sorry you
came all this way.

So long, then.

He'll be back in two or three days,
so feel free to come back then!

Goodbye!

Come on, Aki.
