[00:06] Naka     But... [00:09] Naka     can the Agency look past the     thirty-five people she murdered? [00:17] Naka     What am I going to do if she and the     Agency are at odds with each other? [00:24] Naka     Good morning. [00:30] Naomi     Can you turn around once for me? [00:33] Naomi     So cute! [00:35] Naka     What's going on? [00:38] Tani     Well, she looks good in anything. [00:42] Naka     No, that's not what I'm talking about... [00:44] Naka     Kunikida-san... [00:45] Kuni     Don't look at me like that. [00:47] Kuni     I tried to stop them, too. [00:48] Naka     I wonder if this is going to work out. [00:50] Tani     Maybe it's not such a good idea. [00:52] Naka     Even if everyone else is okay with it, [00:53] Naka     Rampo-san might be a stickler     about the rules... [00:56] Tani     Oh, don't worry about that. [00:59] Rampo     I'm back! [01:00] Rampo     I bought some! [01:01] Tani     Rampo-san's into it the most. SIGN    Mixy Mixy Mixy Mix      Grape Flavor [01:03] Rampo     This is the snack I told you about earlier. [01:05] Rampo     It changes color when you mix it. [01:06] Rampo     Go ahead, mix it. [01:09] Rampo     First, open the bag, [01:11] Rampo     then put the two powders in the container, [01:12] Rampo     and add some water. [01:12] Naka     They're like siblings     in elementary school... [01:13] Rampo     Next, mix really well. [01:15] Rampo     It's important to put your feelings into it. [01:18] Rampo     Okay? Mix, mix, mix, mix, mix, mix, mix. [01:21] Rampo     And look, how strange! [01:25] Rampo     But I'm the one who gets to eat it. [01:28] Tani     How childish... [01:29] ?     Rampo-san, you're a terrible person! [01:29] Naka     Well, it is just like him to do that... [01:32] Naka     So, who called her over to the Agency? [01:36] Fuku     It was me. [01:38] Naka     President! [01:41] Fuku     Any movement from the police? [01:43] Kuni     Thanks to the Port Mafia's     attempts to erase her identity, [01:46] Kuni     they haven't tracked down who she is yet... [01:48] Fuku     But she'll be a wanted fugitive soon. [01:54] Kyouka     Please let me stay here. [01:56] Naka     What? [01:58] Kyouka     I'll do anything. [01:59] Kuni     I don't recommend it. [02:01] Kuni     It's not because you were     with the Port Mafia, [02:04] Kuni     or because we don't have work. [02:06] Kuni     But don't do it. [02:07] Kuni     It's not easy, the world we live in. [02:09] Naka     Besides, if you stay here, [02:11] Naka     the Mafia will find you eventually. [02:12] Naka     Shouldn't you run somewhere far away? [02:15] Kyou     He said... [02:16] Kyou     that I could do nothing     else but kill people. [02:20] Kyou     I want to prove to myself that he's wrong. [02:29] Naka     President. [02:32] Naka     I would also like to ask on her behalf. [02:36] Kyou     Please. [02:40] Kyou     Please... [02:44] Kyou     Please... [02:53] Fuku     Very well. [02:54] All     What?! SIGN    What?! [02:56] Fuku     I'll take her in. [02:58] Fuku      [04:33] Man     Sprain fracture of the lower jaw.

[04:44] Man     To top it off, he's in a coma. [04:47] Man     He's suffered serious damage. [04:49] Man     It is the price he paid     for failing his mission. [04:52] Higuchi     I'm sorry. [04:54] Man     He may not regain consciousness. [04:58] Higuchi     But... [04:59] Man     Don't feel so disappointed. [05:01] Man     You all did your best. [05:04] Man     You did fail in attacking the Agency and [05:06] Man     capturing the weretiger, [05:08] Man     and you sank the transport ship. [05:10] Man     But you did your best, didn't you? [05:12] Man     Effort is what's important. [05:14] Man     Results come second. [05:16] Man     Isn't that right? [05:19] Man     Oh, that reminds me. [05:20] Man     The remnants of Karma Transit, [05:22] Man     the group Akutagawa-kun crushed     during the operation, [05:24] Man     are apparently coming together. [05:26] Man     I presume they want vengeance     on Akutagawa-kun. [05:29] Man     Listen, Higuchi-kun. [05:31] Man     The Mafia are, in the end, [05:33] Man     an act of commerce that employs     violence as its currency. [05:35] Man     It is allowed to desire and     kill anything and anyone. [05:39] Man     Retaliation in kind is a matter     of expenditure and liability. [05:43] Higuchi     But... liability? [05:46] Higuchi     Akutagawa-senpai has accomplished     much in his missions thus far... [05:49] Man     Indeed, Akutagawa-kun is competent. [05:52] Man     His propensity for violence is high,     even for our organization. [05:55] Man     But what about you? [05:58] Man     Higuchi-kun, [06:00] Man     have you ever felt that you are     actually suited for this job? SIGN    Episode 11: First, an Unsuitable Profession for Her. [06:15] Higuchi     I look horrible. [06:19] Hirotsu     That's quite enough for rehearsals, Gin. [06:25] Higuchi     The Black Lizard. [06:26] Tachi     Gin's often stuck with dark jobs like     infiltration and assassination. [06:31] Tachi     It's not unusual for him to have     to slit the throat of one of our own [06:33] Tachi     by the higher-ups' command. [06:35] Tachi     When it's for real, you won't     even have time to be surprised. [06:38] Higuchi     You're saying the boss will terminate me? [06:41] Hirotsu     Not at the moment. [06:43] Hirotsu     But I don't know about tomorrow. [06:46] Higuchi     Are you here to mock me? [06:48] Hirotsu     If I were in your situation, [06:50] Hirotsu     I'd rethink my current position before      an assassin arrives at my doorstep. [06:55] Hirotsu     You, along with Akutagawa-kun, [06:57] Hirotsu     are a strike force under the     boss's direct supervision. [06:59] Hirotsu     As such, you have the authority to give     orders to us in the combat squad. [07:02] Hirotsu     In that sense, you are our superior. [07:04] Hirotsu     But what makes us obey is not your authority, SIGN    Rashoumon [07:09] Hirotsu     but fear and respect for the     ability Akutagawa-kun wields. [07:15] Hirotsu     Higuchi-kun... [07:17] Hirotsu     During the time Akutagawa-kun     is incapacitated, [07:20] Hirotsu     do you possess something     that motivates us to obey? [07:28] (Flashback) Aku     I don't need your help! [07:35] (Flashback) Higuchi     Akutagawa-senpai! [07:36] (Flashback) Higuchi     Even for you, this would be suicide! [07:38] (Flashback) Higuchi     You're walking right into a     building full of security guards! [07:41] (Flashback) Higuchi     You didn't even give us subordinates     any orders about how to support you— [07:44] (Flashback) Aku     Shut up! [07:45] (Flashback) Aku     What would you know about any of this? [07:52] (Flashback) Aku     That's a beacon. [07:54] (Flashback) Aku     A beacon visible from anywhere in the city. [07:57] (Flashback) Aku     It is a powerful beacon that     will be seen by the one [07:59] (Flashback) Aku     who left without a word, [08:01] (Flashback) Aku     and without acknowledging my power. [08:04] (Flashback) Higuchi     But it's my job to help you! [08:07] (Flashback) Aku     I don't need your help! [08:11] (Flashback) Aku     I need no one's help! [08:23] Higuchi     I'm back. [08:24] (Flashback) Man     Have you ever felt that you are     actually suited for this job? [08:31] Higuchi     Of course not... [08:57] Higuchi     Yes? This is Higuchi. [08:59] Higuchi     What?! [09:05] Hirotsu     I urge you to reconsider. [09:07] Hirotsu     Your actions are contrary to     what the brass would want. [09:09] Tachi     Are you sane? [09:11] Tachi     That's suicide! [09:13] Tachi     Akutagawa was abducted by foreign mercs [09:15] Tachi     hired by Karma Transit's remnants! [09:18] Tachi     Not only do they have numbers on their side, [09:20] Tachi     they're armed to the teeth! [09:23] Tachi     The boss will eventually issue orders     to conduct a retrieval operation. [09:26] Tachi     Wait until that happens! [09:27] Higuchi     There will be no order! [09:29] Higuchi     If we retaliate as an organization     against smugglers [09:32] Higuchi     who targeted Akutagawa-senpai     as an individual, [09:34] Higuchi     the ripple effect will trigger a     large-scale conflict with other organizations. [09:37] Higuchi     To avoid that, [09:38] Higuchi     the brass will turn a blind eye to a     personal dispute between individual members... [09:42] Higuchi     Akutagawa-senpai has been cut off. [09:45] Tachi     But what can you hope     to do by yourself? [09:49] Higuchi     Nothing. [09:52] Higuchi     Still! [09:53] Higuchi     I can't stand by and do nothing! [09:58] Higuchi     I knew... [10:00] Higuchi     I knew I wasn't suited for this job. [10:02] Higuchi     I knew I didn't have my     subordinates' respect. [10:06] (Flashback) Hirotsu     If I were in your situation, [10:08] (Flashback) Hirotsu     I'd rethink my current position before     an assassin arrives at my doorstep. [10:14] Higuchi     It's not easy to leave the Port Mafia, [10:16] Higuchi     but it's not impossible. [10:17] Higuchi     I've thought about it many times. [10:20] Higuchi     Yet I didn't, because... [10:56] Higuchi     Crap. [10:58] Higuchi     I can't rescue Akutagawa-senpai     with this injury... [11:31] Higuchi     Yet I didn't, because... [11:46] Tachi     Kill everyone you don't recognize! [11:57] Higuchi     Why is the Black Lizard here? [12:00] Hirotsu     You are our superior officer. [12:03] Hirotsu     If our superior officer is in danger, [12:05] Hirotsu     we must act. [12:09] Hirotsu     I guess we're about done. [12:19] Higuchi     Akutagawa-senpai... [12:24] Higuchi     Senpai... [12:25] Higuchi     Senpai! [12:32] Aku     Higuchi? [12:36] Higuchi     Senpai, you're bleeding. [12:43] Aku     Sorry about all this. [12:49] Higuchi     It's not easy to leave the Port Mafia, [12:51] Higuchi     but it's not impossible. [12:55] Higuchi     Yet I didn't, because... [13:01] Higuchi     It's my job. [13:03] Higuchi      [13:07] Kuni     You look after the girl. [13:10] Naka     What, me? [13:12] Kuni     Of course. [13:13] Kuni     You saved her. [13:15] Naka     Okay. [13:17] Police     Excuse me. [13:19] Police     We're from the city police. [13:20] Kenji     Oh, welcome. [13:22] Rampo     Oh? [13:23] Rampo     You're Minoura-kun. Your subordinate      was arrested a while ago, right? [13:27] Mino     We're here today on a     different matter, detective. [13:31] Mino     We have a case. SIGN    Episode 11 Second, an Ecstatic Detective Agency [13:37] Kenji     They left as soon as they     were done talking business, [13:39] Kenji     without even having had tea. [13:41] Kenji     I guess policemen in cities are busy. [13:43] Kuni     Where you're from, do the police     have lots of free time? [13:46] Kenji     Everyone knows each other in my village. [13:49] Kenji     Our policeman's job would     be fixing the well's pump, [13:53] Kenji     rescuing cats from chimneys, [13:55] Kenji     and tasting the year's first watermelon. [13:58] Kuni     What the... [13:59] Kuni     What happens if anyone commits a crime? [14:01] Kenji     The perpertrator'd get tied up     and thrown off a cliff. [14:05] Naka     Um, Kenji-san... [14:07] Kenji     You can call me Kenji-kun. [14:09] Kenji     Until two months ago, I was living      in a village called Ihatov [14:12] Kenji     where there is neither     electricity nor telephones. [14:16] Kenji     I was recruited by the president     and came to the city. [14:19] Kenji     The city's full of new concepts.     I'm having a lot of fun. [14:22] Naka     New? Like what? SIGN    Isn't bartering good enough? [14:24] Kenji     First, I don't really understand     the concept of money. [14:28] Naka     I see... [14:30] Tani     Kunikida-san, [14:31] Tani     What should we about the request     from the city police earlier? [14:36] Kuni     A car in motion blew up      for unknown reasons... [14:40] Tani     It'll be a challenge.     The police have given up on it. [14:42] Kuni     Atsushi, want to give this one a try? [14:45] Kuni     Shadow another agent and     quickly learn the ropes. [14:48] Kuni     You can do this. [14:51] Naka     Got it. [14:53] Mob     What's going on? [14:55] Mob     What's that? [14:56] Kenji     I heard a car was just going along     when it suddenly flew to there. [14:56] Mob     Another explosion? [14:59] Naka     I'm not sure I'm up for this... [15:02] Kenji     The driver died on impact.     He hasn't been identified. [15:05] Naka     Why not? [15:06] Naka     Can't we identify people if their     fingerprints or teeth are intact? [15:10] Kenji     Yes. [15:11] Kenji     If they were intact. [15:12] Naka     What?! [15:13] Naka     Then... [15:13] Naka     It's all mush inside that car... [15:17] Kenji     All right, [15:18] Kenji     Rampo-san would be able to solve     the case right away here, SIGN    Yokohamabashi [15:21] Kenji     but our task right now is     to gather information. [15:24] Gran     Oh, Ken-chan. [15:26] Kenji     Oh hello, Miss Maeda. [15:28] Gran     Thank you for the boar meat the other day. [15:30] Gran     It was delicious. [15:32] Kenji     It was extra sent from my home. [15:34] Kenji     It was nothing. [15:36] Naka     "Miss"? [15:37] Kenji     She'd be one of the      younger ladies at my village. [15:40] Guy     Hey, boy. [15:41] Guy     The vegetable garden I told you about, [15:43] Guy     it doesn't drain very well. [15:46] Kenji     It must be the soil in the rows. [15:48] Kenji     I'll come take a look tomorrow. [15:49] Guy     Thanks. [15:50] Naka     You're really popular. [15:52] Man     Hey, Ken-chan. [15:55] Man     You on a job? [15:57] Kenji     We're investigating the car explosion     that happened on that street. [16:02] Kenji     Do you know anything? [16:04] Man     Oh, that... [16:07] Man     There are... rumors... [16:18] Man     I'm not really supposed to talk about it, [16:20] Man     but the young'uns were saying     that before it happened, [16:23] Man     backstreet folks from the     factory district bought a load of fertilizer. [16:27] Kenji     Fertilizer... [16:28] Kenji     I wonder if they realized     the beauty of farming. [16:31] Man     No, they were apparently talking     about manufacturing something... [16:35] Kenji     Then it was probably nitrogen fertilizer. [16:37] Naka     Nitrogen fertilizer? [16:39] Kenji     It's an ingredient for building bombs. [16:40] Naka     What?! [16:41] Kenji     Thank you as always. [16:43] Kenji     It was very helpful. [16:44] Man      I'd do anything for you, Ken-chan. [16:45] Naka     We already have a lead... [16:46] Man     Let's stay friendly. [16:47] Naka     Kenji-kun's amazing. [16:48] Kenji     The same goes for me. [16:49] Kenji     I'll be counting on you. [16:51] Kenji     Speaking of the back streets     of the factory district, [16:53] Kenji     there's a meeting hall for the      Gojo Youth Association there. [16:56] Naka     Youth Association? [16:58] Kenji     Put in city terms... a gang? [17:01] Nawka     A... A gang?! [17:02] Kenji     I wonder if they're the ones      who built the bomb. [17:06] Kenji     Well, let's go ask them face to face. [17:09] Naka     Wait a minute! [17:10] Naka     Even if they were responsible, [17:11] Naka     I doubt they'd admit to it. [17:13] Naka     Won't it be risky? [17:14] Kenji     If we are sincere in our     inquiries, they'll respond. [17:17] Kenji     It's how things are. [17:18] Naka     I-It's how things are? [17:21] Naka     Is it? [17:24] Naka     It's... [17:28] Naka     I guess it is how things are! [17:31] Kuni     Hey, Tanizaki.

[17:38] Kuni     What, with Kenji?! [17:39] Tani     Yes, they went to the crime scene together. [17:42] Tani     Kenji-kun's very competent. [17:44] Tani     He's solved many difficult cases, [17:46] Tani     so I doubt there'll be problems— [17:46] Kuni     It's a huge problem! [17:48] Kuni     Kenji's methods are too unique.      He's not a good role model! [17:51] Kuni     But given how simplistic     and naïve Atsushi is, [17:54] Kuni     he may easily take Kenji's     methods at face value [17:55] Kuni     and believe them to be the gold standard! SIGN    Best and Worst Team [17:58] Kuni     This isn't good... [18:00] Gang     Huh?! [18:02] Kenji     Did you all build the bomb that     made the car go flying? [18:06] Gang     You're funny! [18:08] Gang     You guys cops? [18:09] Kenji     Not at all. We're with the     Armed Detective Agency. [18:13] Kenji     Oh, nice chain!

[18:33] Gang     Right? [18:35] Kenji     I see! [18:36] Kenji     I'm sorry to have bothered you. [18:38] Naka     Huh?! [18:39] Kenji     Thank you for your help. [18:41] Gang     What? [18:44] Naka     H-Hey, Kenji-kun? [18:46] Naka     They were lying, no matter     how you try to look at it. [18:48] Naka     They're the ones responsible! [18:50] Naka     They might've used the bomb to kill someone     in an opposing gang, or something. [18:54] Kenji     But they said they didn't know anything. [18:57] Naka     Well, sure, but... [18:59] Kenji     Be it with a cow or a person... [19:01] Kenji     Be it in a village or a city, [19:03] Kenji     if you are sincere, you can     communicate with others. [19:06] Kenji     I've never failed using this method. [19:10] Naka     R-Really? [19:12] Kenji     Really. [19:17] Naka     I guess I can see that. [19:19] Kenji     Shall we get back for now? [19:21] Naka     Yeah. SIGN    Grrrrrowl [19:30] Kenji     Let's go by a beef bowl     place on our way back. [19:32] Kenji     I'm starving.

[19:44] Gang     The bomb was used to kill     an enemy gang member. [19:48] Gang     Who knew private investigators     would sniff us out... [19:52] Gang     Since you left without     really questioning us, [19:54] Gang     does that mean you found conclusive proof? [19:57] Gang     You're gonna tell the cops, aren't you? [19:59] Gang     We won't let you. [20:00] Kenji     I see. [20:01] Kenji     I'm glad you went through the     trouble to tell us the truth. [20:06] Gang     Huh?
