[00:04] Urai
    I thought I was a goner.
[00:06] Urai
    Why did Nishida have to skip
    work without calling in?
[00:10] Urai
    Ugh! This sucks!
[00:13] Clarissa
    Thanks. Would a bonus make it up to you?
[00:17] Urai
    A bonus?
[00:18] Clarissa
    Yes.
[00:20] Clarissa
    And this is on me.
[00:23] Urai
    Thank you very much!
[00:25] Koruto
    Clarissa mixed his drink.
[00:26] Izuna
    Lucky guy.
[00:28] Urai
    A bonus!
[00:30] Urai
    I can buy so many photo books.
[00:41] Clarissa
    Would someone swing by
    Nishida-kun's apartment for me?
[00:45] Clarissa
    At least two of you, just to be safe.
[02:24] Momoya
    Man,
[02:25] Momoya
    the world's going to hell, Higuro-san.
[02:28] Higuro
    When has it not been?
[02:31] Higuro
    Why else would I be an
    intermediary in Shibuya?
[02:37] Momoya
    Good for you, then.
[02:39] Momoya
    It keeps getting worse, if you ask me.
[02:42] Momoya
    I can't believe Solitaire's
    been sharing legit info.
[02:46] Momoya
    I mean, some bad guy in the police
[02:49] Momoya
    had him shot at and
    hired me to do a job like this.
[02:54] Momoya
    What should I do?
     I've lost my faith in the police.
[03:03] Iwanome
    My head's spinning.
[03:05] Iwanome
    Shinjuku's security cameras
    show way too many people.
[03:09] Yatsu
    Isn't looking for Solitaire
    a wild goose chase?
[03:12] Yatsu
    If he disguises himself, we're out of luck.
[03:15] Iwanome
    Pretty much.
[03:16] Iwanome
    Still, knowing Solitaire, he'll return
    to the scene to watch the reaction.
[03:23] Iwanome
    Why did he visit this
    building in the first place?
[03:26] Iwanome
    Did he somehow find out that Polka
    Shinoyama knows about that symbol?
[03:31] Iwanome
    I'll need to meet Polka Shinoyama again, too.
[03:34] Yatsu
    Whoa! That guy's a giant!
[03:37] Yatsu
    Look! Right there!
[03:39] Iwanome
    Wow. He must be over two meters tall.
[03:44] Arase
    You mean I wasn't seeing things?!
[03:46] Iwanome
    You know him?
[03:47] Arase
    No, the man next to him.
[03:49] Iwanome
    Oh. Could he be...?
[03:51] Arase
    Yes. Part of an organization
    I took on before.
[03:55] Iwanome
    Sorry, but we're after Solitaire right now.
[03:58] Arase
    No, I think they're related.
[04:01] Arase
    Polka Shinoyama's friend, Takumi Kuruya,
SIGN    Sanzu Sons
    (Little Devils of the River Sanzu)
[04:05] Arase
    belonged to a loose-knit
    gang called the Sanzu Sons.
SIGN    Sanzu Sons (Little Devils of the River Sanzu)
[04:08] Arase
    I crushed the group, but I let
    just one of them get away.
[04:12] Arase
    I had him pegged as their leader...
[04:15] Arase
    A guy named Higuro.
[04:19] Punk B
    How about a donation, mister? To us.
[04:23] Punk C
    No dead body, but we've
    got ourselves a bonus.
[04:27] Higuro
    I'd like to ask you something.
[04:29] Punk A
    Shut up, you!
[04:31] Higuro
    Do you have pull?
[04:34] Punk A
    Huh?
[04:35] Higuro
    You know, pull.
[04:37] Higuro
    Contacts. Connections.
[04:39] Higuro
    As I see it, connections are love.
[04:43] Higuro
    I want to check on your love.
[04:46] Punk C
    The hell is this guy talking about?
[04:48] Higuro
    Are you related to or friends with
    any politicians or police big shots?
[04:54] Higuro
    Legendary mercenaries? Super heroes?
[04:57] Higuro
    World karate champions? Anyone like that?
[05:00] Higuro
    Even ordinary people will do.
[05:02] Higuro
    Does anyone love you enough
    to risk it all for you?
[05:05] Punk B
    Think he's high on something?
[05:07] Punk C
    Tripping balls, you mean?
[05:09] Punk A
    Then maybe the cops'll thank
    us for murdering his ass.
[05:13] Higuro
    No one like that? No one at all?
[05:15] Punk A
    No, moron!
[05:17] Punk A
    Forget that crap and start asking
    if you know an undertaker!
[05:21] Higuro
    Oh, I do.
[05:24] Higuro
    Illegal, of course.
[05:35] Higuro
    Do you understand why you're going to die?
[05:39] Higuro
    Is it because you got together in a place
    like this at this time of night?
[05:42] Higuro
    Because you bragged about abusing a woman?
[05:47] Higuro
    Because you picked a fight with us?
[05:49] Higuro
    No.
[05:50] Higuro
    Because you lack connections.
[05:53] Higuro
    Connections are love.
[05:55] Higuro
    And when love turns to hate,
    it's a real handful.
[05:59] Higuro
    We'd be in trouble if anyone
    dangerous cared about you.
[06:02] Punk A
    S-Shtop. We're shorry.
[06:06] Punk A
    D-Don't kill ush.
[06:07] Higuro
    You're not connected,
    so no one will save you.
[06:18] Momoya
    You sure are big on connections.
[06:21] Higuro
    It's an old story.
[06:23] Higuro
    I messed with someone, and one of their
    friends turned out to be bad news.
[06:28] Higuro
    I managed to get away, but I lost
    an organization in the process.
[06:33] Momoya
    Huh. What if those punks had
    been well-connected, then?
[06:37] Higuro
    I'd have kept hidden a while longer.
[06:41] Momoya
    I told you the world's going to hell.
[06:43] Momoya
    Scum like you is loose
    and walking around town.
[06:47] Higuro
    As I said, it's always been this bad,
[06:51] Higuro
    but that will come to an end soon.
[06:55] Higuro
    I mean that this world is
    going to greet a new dawn.
[07:00] Higuro
    Here we are.
[07:01] Higuro
    I hope the route from five years
    ago hasn't been wrecked yet.
[07:09] Nishida
    Ugh. My head is spinning.
[07:13] Nishida
    Wait, what time is it?
[07:16] Nishida
    Where'd I put my phone?
[07:19] Nishida
    Oh, crap. It's Urai.
[07:21] Nishida
    That must mean his shift is over.
[07:25] Nishida
    Hey, Urai! Can you hear me?
[07:28] Nishida
    Huh?
[07:29] Nishida
    Huh? Umm... What?
[07:35] Nishida
    I remember...
SIGN    Fortunes Told
[07:42] Kochou
    Good morning!
[07:44] Kochou
    Thank you for your cooperation today!
[07:47] Kochou
    First, I'd like you to tell the fortune of...
[07:51] Kochou
    ordinary A-san here,
    who I scouted in the neighborhood!
[07:54] Urai
    Umm... Please do what you can.
[08:00] Takumi
    We've got a familiar face.
[08:02] Takumi
    He's one of Clarissa's bartenders!
[08:05] Takumi
    What is she up to?
[08:08] Kochou
    I'll start off with a jab.
[08:10] Kochou
    He has ties to this building's owner.
[08:13] Kochou
    Now, how will they react?
[08:15] Urai
    I tagged along because she said I
    could make some money on the side.
[08:19] Urai
    How did that turn into Polka-kun
    reading my fortune?!
[08:24] Urai
    E-Er... Hi.
[08:27] Urai
    Oh, he... doesn't recognize me.
[08:30] Urai
    But Misaki-chan must, right?
[08:35] Urai
    It's nice to meet you.
[08:37] Takumi
    They haven't caught on?
[08:40] Takumi
    I'll keep my mouth shut, then.
[08:42] Polka
    Now then, is anything troubling you?
[08:46] Urai
    Oh, like life troubles?
[08:49] Urai
    I want to gripe about work! To really vent!
[08:51] Urai
    But if it gets back to the bar...
[08:55] Urai
    "Bad news" wouldn't begin to cover it!
[08:57] Urai
    L-Let me think.
[08:59] Urai
    My shoulders have been awfully
    stiff for a little while.
[09:02] Urai
    What am I saying?! I didn't
    come here for massage therapy.
[09:05] Polka
    I imagine so.
[09:08] Urai
    Oh, er... I know!
[09:11] Urai
    One of my coworkers skipped his
    shift and went who knows where.
[09:16] Urai
    Maybe you could, you know,
     divine where he is or something?
[09:20] Polka
    Is this coworker dear to you?
[09:24] Urai
    Huh? Well...
[09:26] Urai
    He's not like family, but he's a friend
    I feel comfortable chatting with, so...
[09:33] Urai
    Huh? No way.
[09:35] Urai
    Wait a second.
[09:37] Bunny A
    Fresh news.
[09:38] Bunny A
    It seems like Nishida-san
    did visit this building.
[09:42] Man in Black 4
    Nishida was here.
[09:44] Bunny B
    The security cameras show him leaving
    in a hurry, wearing his uniform.
[09:49] Koruto
    So someone snatched him? What for?
[09:53] Izuna
    It makes you wonder.
[09:55] Clarissa
    Yes, the timing is concerning.
SIGN    Hands Swarm in Late-night Shinjuku?!
     A Ghostly Happening or One of Solitaire's Tricks?!
[09:58] Izuna
    You think it's about Polka-kun?
[10:00] Koruto
    You mean they grabbed Nishidacchi
    to torture him for info on Polka-kun?
[10:06] Clarissa
    No, Nishida-kun shouldn't know
     the details of Polka-kun's situation.
[10:11] Clarissa
    The only bartender who does is...
[10:13] Urai
    You've gotta be kidding me.
[10:15] Urai
    I know Polka-kun is a
    necromancer, but still.
[10:19] Urai
    Why did I get called over here?!
[10:24] Urai
    Don't tell me...
[10:25] Polka
    Your friend
[10:28] Polka
    may have been caught up
    in something disastrous.
[10:35] Nishida
    You can— can— can— can see me— me?
[10:39] Nishida
    Please, t-t-tell him— h-him that
[10:43] Nishida
    some— somebody k-k-killed— killed m-m-me.
[10:48] Urai
    Wh-What do you mean, disastrous?
[10:51] Kochou
    Why is he reacting like this?
[10:53] Kochou
    What's going on here?
[11:03] Bunny A
    Clarissa, I have a followup
    report about Nishida-san.
[11:07] Clarissa
    Yes?
[11:11] Izuna
    Clarissa, we have a slight problem.
[11:13] Clarissa
    The police came by, I suppose.
[11:16] Clarissa
    They wanted to confirm whether
    Nishida-kun worked here.
[11:19] Izuna
    Are you psychic?
[11:20] Koruto
    Huh? Did she get all that right?
[11:23] Clarissa
    They're awfully good at this.
[11:26] Clarissa
    Just like when it was Hosorogi-san's turn.
[11:32] Momoya
    Now,
[11:35] Momoya
    I hope I have better luck
    finding him this time.
[11:42] Xiaoyu
    "Open up and talk to him," huh?
[11:45] Xiaoyu
    But what am I supposed to say
    to the fake Polka, and how?
[11:49] Xiaoyu
    And what if Miss Sayo finds
    out what I really am, too?
[11:54] Sayo
    A clan of assassins?
[11:56] Sayo
    What does that have to do with sharks?
[11:59] Xiaoyu
    On second thought,
    I don't need to worry about her.
[12:03] Xiaoyu
    Hmm?
[12:04] Xiaoyu
    The police?
[12:06] Xiaoyu
    I got mixed up with Solitaire,
    so I'm in trouble if they're here about him.
[12:10] Iwanome
    Now then, let's use the Solitaire
    case to break the ice.
[12:15] Arase
    If Takumi Kuruya is inside,
    this won't take long.
[12:21] Arase
    I'm willing to bet he's in there.
[12:24] Iwanome
    Cool it, okay?
[12:26] Ikeuchi
    Come on. Make way.
[12:27] Iwanome
    Uh-oh.
[12:29] Iwanome
    Hold it.
[12:30] Ikeuchi
    Who're you?
SIGN    Inspector
    Tsubaki
     Iwanome
[12:34] Ikeuchi
    The local guys, huh?
[12:35] Iwanome
    And you are...?
[12:37] Ikeuchi
    We're on assignment from HQ.
     Kindly step aside.
[12:40] Iwanome
    No can do.
[12:42] Iwanome
    If you're on the Solitaire case,
    I'm one of the lead investigators.
[12:46] Ikeuchi
    Nothing to do with Solitaire.
    Our orders come from the top.
[12:51] Ikeuchi
    There was a nasty mugging last night.
[12:54] Ikeuchi
    We got a tip that the perp is
    laying low in this building.
[12:58] Ikeuchi
    He works in a bar near here, Youtoukorou.
[13:03] Ikeuchi
    If you're in Community Safety,
    you must've heard of it.
[13:09] Momoya
    Oh, hey, the fun's already started.
[13:13] Higuro
    What is he doing here?
[13:15] Momoya
    See someone you know?
[13:17] Higuro
    The detective I mentioned yesterday.
    The one who crushed my gang.
[13:22] Higuro
    I should've known I couldn't plan for
    everything with only info from on high.
[13:26] Momoya
    Of course you couldn't.
[13:28] Momoya
    Even we Agakuras have messed up because
    our clients didn't tell us enough.
[13:33] Momoya
    I get a kick out of that
    sort of thing, though.
[13:36] Higuro
    I guess I'd better investigate privately.
[13:39] Momoya
    Got any handy connections?
[13:41] Higuro
    I used to have a skilled information
    specialist on my side,
[13:45] Higuro
    but my business rival in
    Shinjuku snapped him up.
[13:49] [SONG] Text; screen
    DROP EVERYTHING
[13:51] [SONG] Text; screen
    DROP EVERYTHING
     THE COPS ARE HERE
[13:53] Takumi
    Shit! Those aren't local cops!
[13:54] [SONG] Text; screen
    DROP EVERYTHING
     THE COPS ARE HERE
     SORRY, I DROPPED THE BALL.
     JUST PLAY ALONG
    AND DO WHAT THEY SAY.
[13:57] Kochou
    Huh? What's going on?
[13:59] Misaki
    Be right with you!
[14:02] Ikeuchi
    We're police officers.
[14:04] Ikeuchi
    Who's in charge here?
[14:06] Polka
    I manage this fortune-telling establishment.
[14:10] Ikeuchi
    We're about to launch a search
    of this whole building.
[14:13] Ikeuchi
    Please vacate the premises now if possible.
[14:16] Ikeuchi
    Recognize this man?
[14:18] Ikeuchi
    He's a suspect in a mugging case.
[14:20] Nishida
    H-Hey!
[14:21] Nishida
    Huh? Me? Me?
[14:23] Polka
    No.
[14:24] Ikeuchi
    We've received information that
    he's hiding in this building.
[14:27] Ikeuchi
    Please cooperate with our investigation.
[14:30] Polka
    I understand.
[14:31] Nishida
    N-No way! I... I haven't done anything!
[14:35] Kochou
    A mugger? Now, of all times?
[14:37] Kochou
    A mugger flees into a
    building Solitaire left?
[14:40] Kochou
    Is there a connection? I want to
    check the mugger's background.
[14:44] Kochou
    Excuse me, would you mind showing
    me the mugger's photo, too?
[14:49] Ikeuchi
    Do you work here?
[14:50] Kochou
    Yes!
[14:51] Polka
    Huh?! Hey—
[14:52] Hosorogi
    Polka. Polka.
[14:55] Hosorogi
    Can you use your magic to
    search the basement right now?
[14:59] Polka
    Why?
[15:00] Hosorogi
    I have a bad feeling.
[15:02] Hosorogi
    This sequence of events reminds me
[15:04] Hosorogi
    of five years ago, right
    before I was murdered here.
[15:08] Hosorogi
    If my intuition is correct,
    something is down in—
[15:11] Polka
    I found it.
[15:12] Hosorogi
    What?
[15:14] Polka
    Our basement...
[15:16] Ghosts
    Looks like a body.
[15:16] Polka
    ...has that guy, Nishida's, corpse in it.
[15:17] Ghosts
    He's dead.
[15:17] Ghosts
    Dead.
[15:18] Ghosts
    It's a dead body.
[15:20] Polka
    This is bad.
[15:21] Polka
    If they find a body here,
    I'll be farther from peace than ever.
[15:25] Hosorogi
    So, that's their game.
[15:27] Hosorogi
    You're awfully cold when children
    or your friends aren't involved.
[15:33] (Flashback) Izliz
    You're too kind to wield death.
[15:36] (Flashback) Izliz
    That's all the more reason
    to draw a clear line.
[15:40] (Flashback) Izliz
    Don't under- or overestimate
    how far your power can reach.
[15:46] (Flashback) Izliz
    Otherwise, you'll lose a great deal.
[15:51] Polka
    Yes. I won't deny it.
[15:54] Polka
    But...
[15:55] Nishida
    No. No. Not... Not me!
[15:59] Polka
    right now, I feel like
[16:02] Polka
    my hands can stretch a little further.
[16:16] Cop A
    Nothing's here.
[16:19] Cop B
    Looks like an empty room.
[16:21] Cop A
    I was sure he'd be hiding in here.
[16:26] Ikeuchi
    What did you find?
[16:27] Cop B
    He wasn't in the basement, sir.
[16:30] Ikeuchi
    I see.
[16:30] Detective
    Huh?
[16:31] Ikeuchi
    What?
[16:32] Detective
    O-Oh, nothing.
[16:33] Detective
    I just thought he might be upstairs, then.
[16:36] Ikeuchi
    He could already have escaped, too.
[16:38] Ikeuchi
    If he's not in this building,
    we'll check the nearby security cams.
[16:42] Detective
    R-Right.
[16:46] Grocer
    So, the big store at Sakuradamon
    has started stocking up.
[16:50] Grocer
    The Shinjuku market will turn volatile.
[16:53] Grocer
    This could affect the price of hitmen.
[16:57] Takeru
    The police?
[16:59] Takeru
    In the building where Polka is?
[17:01] Bao
    Uh-huh. Not local cops. Probably from HQ.
[17:07] Takeru
    And what about Polka's group?
[17:08] Bao
    They're outside.
[17:10] Misaki
    Good thing the rain let up!
[17:12] Sayo
    Scary, isn't it, darling?
[17:13] Takumi
    I guess so.
[17:15] Hosorogi
    There's a secret passage
    under the basement floor?
[17:18] Polka
    I found it when I searched the
    whole building a while ago.
[17:22] Polka
    It seemed to connect to another building,
[17:25] Polka
    but it hadn't been used
    recently so I didn't worry.
[17:29] Polka
    Secret passages were pretty
    common in the Empire.
[17:33] Polka
    But I've learned one thing from this:
[17:37] Polka
    someone is trying to catch
    this building in a trap.
[17:40] Polka
    They're either after us...
[17:42] Hosorogi
    Or the property owner, Clarissa.
[17:49] Arase
    Oh, I thought I'd find you here,
[17:53] Arase
    Takumi Kuruya.
[17:56] Arase
    Are you sure we shouldn't go over there?
[17:58] Iwanome
    As much as I'd love to, yes.
[18:00] Iwanome
    I mean, Kochou-chan is here.
[18:02] Arase
    She's a reporter for
     Weekly Dry now, isn't she?
[18:05] Arase
    She seems to be writing
    about Polka Shinoyama.
[18:08] Iwanome
    It looks like they left quietly without
    a fight, so let's wait and see.
[18:13] Iwanome
    I'm more worried about the guys
    in uniform the HQ team brought.
[18:17] Iwanome
    Are they from Shinjuku Precinct?
[18:21] Iwanome
    HQ coming out over a mugging
    stinks to begin with.
[18:25] Iwanome
    Then they say one of Clarissa's
    bartenders robbed someone
[18:30] Iwanome
    and fled to a building Clarissa owns?
[18:33] Iwanome
    I'd like to know where that tip came from.
[18:35] Arase
    You think it's fake info?
[18:37] Iwanome
    The timing is too convenient.
[18:39] Iwanome
    It's so perfect, I wouldn't be
    surprised if Solitaire set it up.
[18:43] Iwanome
    Except that it's just like five years ago.
[18:46] Iwanome
    After Hosorogi-san vanished,
SIGN    From: Hosorogi
     To: Tsubaki Iwanome
    
    I found important evidence.
     It's at:
[18:48] Iwanome
    I got a text that said,
    "I found important evidence here."
[18:54] (Flashback) Iwanome
    Hosorogi-san?
[18:56] Iwanome
    When I came running, there was nothing there
[18:59] Iwanome
    except for blood spatter on the walls
[19:02] Iwanome
    that matched Hosorogi-san's DNA.
[19:05] Arase
    I see.
[19:08] Higuro
    Kouzaburou Arase.
[19:11] Higuro
    If he's involved,
[19:14] Higuro
    I'll have to be more
    careful with my disguise.
[19:18] Higuro
    A hat won't be nearly enough.
[19:21] Higuro
    Momoya-san? What is it?
[19:24] Momoya
    I guess destiny is real.
[19:28] Xiaoyu
    What the heck is going on?
[19:34] Taipei
    What are you doing here?
[19:36] Xiaoyu
    Taipei.
[19:37] Taipei
    Your job is guarding Miss Sayo.
[19:41] Xiaoyu
    I know. I'm already on my way back to her.
[19:44] Taipei
    You're no longer worth
    anything to the Lei family,
[19:48] Taipei
    but at least die doing your
    duty as her human shield.
[19:53] Xiaoyu
    I don't need you to tell me that.
[19:54] Xiaoyu
    I was done with the Leis ages ago,
[19:58] Xiaoyu
    so don't presume to lecture me
    like you did back in the day.
[20:01] Taipei
    Are you sure? Without family
    ties, you're just a nobody.
[20:08] Taipei
    I think you'd better learn
    how to speak properly.
[20:11] Xiaoyu
    Let go, Taipei.
[20:14] Misaki
    Yoo-hoo!
[20:16] Xiaoyu
    S-Sakimiya-san!
[20:18] Misaki
    Are these groceries? I'll carry them for you!
[20:21] Xiaoyu
    Oh, no, I can—
[20:23] Misaki
    Inside is kind of a mess right now.
[20:25] Xiaoyu
    Huh? Umm...
[20:29] Sayo
    Way to go! New shark merch!
[20:33] Xiaoyu
    I'm so glad you like them.
[20:34] Sayo
    Oh, I could never have too many of these!
[20:37] Xiaoyu
    Please excuse me.
SIGN    From: Big Sis
    
    Dear Little Brother,
     Please don't say such sad things.
    Whatever Dad or the big lug say,
     I, at least, love, love, love, love, love you,
    and you're worth the world to me.
    To prove it, I'll empty out Taipei's bank account
    for talking down to you and deposit his money
     in your account, so don't give up your your big sis,
    okay?
    
    Your knight in shining armor, Imbi

[20:53] Taipei
    Do you need something?
[20:55] Taipei
    Don't worry. I'm on the Shinoyamas' side.
[20:59] Misaki
    But that doesn't mean you're
    on Polka-kun's side, does it?
[21:07] Misaki
    This is Shinjuku, you know?
[21:09] Misaki
    You never know who you'll run into here,
     so you'd better watch out.
[21:14] Taipei
    Why does her life force seem so faint?
[21:19] Taipei
    "You never know"?
[21:21] Taipei
    I see.
[21:24] Taipei
    This really is the underworld.
[21:27] Momoya
    Who's that girl?
[21:30] Momoya
    She's no amateur.
[21:31] Momoya
    I'd say she's killed at least ten people.
[21:35] Higuro
    She's probably one of Shinjuku's assassins.
[21:39] Momoya
    Well, now.
[21:41] Higuro
    Kouzaburou Arase.
[21:43] Higuro
    The Shinoyamas' heir.
[21:45] Higuro
    The Leis are here, as well.
[21:48] Higuro
    And so is Takumi Kuruya.
[21:51] Higuro
    He's the last person I expected to run into.
[21:54] Momoya
    Good. I figured this would be a boring job,
[21:58] Momoya
    but it's shaping up to be
    work I can really enjoy.
