[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.

[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.
