**[01:40] Kondo**
Prisoner 3-2034.
**[01:45] Kondo**
Kohei Tanaka.
**[01:46] Kondo**
A vicious serial killer who murdered
35 Bakufu employees.
**[01:51] Kondo**
Also known as Kohei the Manslayer, a leader in the
Akatsuki faction of the radical Anti-Foreigner Faction.
**[01:55] Kondo**
Surrounded by over forty Bakufu officials,
with a dozen cuts on his body,
**[02:01] Kondo**
he didn't bat an eye as
he killed seven officials.
**[02:05] Kondo**
After being captured, he has
yet to respond to torture,
**[02:09] Kondo**
and we haven't been able to
get him to open his mouth.
**[02:15] Kondo**
No, that would be the
wrong way to put it.
**[02:18] Kondo**
His mouth is definitely open.
**[02:21] Kondo**
In fact, it's been open the whole time.
**[02:23] Kondo**
He never stops smiling, regardless
of the torture he's going through.
**[02:28] Kondo**
He's always smiling like
he's enjoying it all.

**[02:39] Hijikata**
The suits have given us
a real pain to deal with.
**[02:42] Kondo**
There have been reports of a large-scale terrorist
attack in the works by the Akatsuki faction.
**[02:48] Kondo**
He must know the details.
**[02:52] Hijikata**
And we're supposed to
force it out of him?
**[02:54] Kondo**
Yeah, pretty much.
**[02:56] Kondo**
Can you do it?
**[02:58] Okita**
I doubt we'll be able to make
him talk through torture.
**[03:01] Okita**
Look at that masochistic face.
**[03:05] Okita**
Does he look like someone in a desperate situation
after being captured by the enemy?
**[03:10] Okita**
He isn't thinking about how
to get out of this situation.
**[03:14] Okita**
He's enjoying the situation.
**[03:17] Yamazaki**
He must have been trained
to take torture.
**[03:20] Yamazaki**
He doesn't reject pain.
**[03:23] Yamazaki**
He's probably learned
to seek and relish it.
**[03:26] Yamazaki**
We could cut off an arm or leg,
**[03:28] Yamazaki**
and he would keep on smiling like that.
**[03:31] Kondo**
So it's impossible to pressure
him through pain.
**[03:35] Kondo**
Still, what do we do, Toshi?
**[03:39] Hijikata**
There's more to an interrogation
than going on the attack.
**[03:42] Hijikata**
We'll use the "carrot and stick"
technique to make him talk.
**[03:48] Hijikata**
Lose the mindset of forcing
information from him.
**[03:50] Hijikata**
We're going to get close
to him and snatch it.
**[03:53] Yamazaki**
So you want to win him over...
**[03:54] Yamazaki**
How exactly are we supposed to
get a serial killer to warm up?
**[03:59] Yamazaki**
If someone like him had been in my class, I
wouldn't have wanted to be friends with him.
**[04:03] Yamazaki**
I would have graduated without
saying a word to him.
**[04:07] Kondo**
It's fine.
**[04:07] Kondo**
When you're about to graduate, the people
you couldn't stand all look like nice people.
**[04:10] Yamazaki**
Uh, how is it fine?
**[04:13] Yamazaki**
What are we graduating from?
**[04:15] Okita**
Hijikata-san, this is your chance
to make a friend.
**[04:18] Okita**
Do you intend to end three years of school
without ever lifting your head off your desk?
**[04:22] Hijikata**
Don't talk about me like I'm
some sorry, lonely guy!
**[04:24] Okita**
You'll never make any friends if you
aren't willing to approach anyone.
**[04:28] Okita**
Physical exams are a great time
to try, with everybody hyped up.
**[04:32] Okita**
"Oh? You wear briefs?"
**[04:34] Okita**
You know, something along those lines.
**[04:36] Hijikata**
Who are you accusing
of wearing briefs?!
**[04:38] Kondo**
Go for it!
**[04:39] Kondo**
Be brave, Toshi!
**[04:40] Okita**
Open his heart!
**[04:42] Okita**
Open his briefs, Toshi!
**[04:44] Hijikata**
Hey! Why are you trying to
push the dirty work on me?!
**[04:47] Hijikata**
Yamazaki, you go.
**[04:49] Hijikata**
You wear briefs, right?
**[04:51] Hijikata**
Get going.
**[04:51] Yamazaki**
No, I wear boxers!
**[04:53] Hijikata**
Shut up.
**[04:54] Hijikata**
You might as well be wearing briefs.
**[04:56] Hijikata**
You ooze lameness...
**[04:58] Yamazaki**
No, wait...
**[05:00] Yamazaki**
We don't even know if he wears briefs...
**[05:02] Hijikata**
Stop wasting time and get going!
**[05:08] Kondo**
Open!
**[05:09] Kondo**
Open his briefs, Zaki!
**[05:11] ---**
Ow-ow-ow...
**[05:17] Yamazaki**
S-Scary!
**[05:22] Yamazaki**
This guy's really creepy up close!
**[05:25] Yamazaki**
Like he's going to jump me at any time!
**[05:28] Kondo**
Zaki, carrot and stick.
**[05:30] Kondo**
Mercilessly pressure him, while offering
gentle words of comfort.
***SIGN***
**[05:34] Kondo**
Use the tsundere principle
to catch his heart!
**[05:39] Yamazaki**
Calm down.
**[05:41] Yamazaki**
His arms and legs are chained
together so he can't move.
**[05:44] Yamazaki**
And everybody's watching me through
the two-way mirror behind me.
**[05:47] Yamazaki**
I'll start with a threat.
**[05:50] Yamazaki**
He's looking down on the police.
**[05:53] Yamazaki**
I won't be able to accomplish anything if
I can't get that smug smile off his face!
**[05:59] Yamazaki**
Fuck it, patchwork baldy!
**[06:02] Yamazaki**
How long you gonna keep playin' it cool?
**[06:06] Yamazaki**
Don't mess with the police, mothafucka!
**[06:10] Yamazaki**
We don't have all day here!
**[06:12] Yamazaki**
The anime's on its fourth year, with our
stock of original material running out!
**[06:15] Yamazaki**
We get manga manuscripts
faxed over every week!
**[06:18] Yamazaki**
We're on the ropes!
**[06:19] Yamazaki**
Everybody's stressed out to the limit!
**[06:23] Yamazaki**
We don't got time to waste on
a guest character like you!
**[06:27] Yamazaki**
So cut to the chase and spill your guts!
**[06:30] Hijikata**
What's he talking about?
**[06:32] Yamazaki**
I wanna play DQ too!
***SIGN*** [Note: Refers to the recently released "Dragon Quest IX".]
**[06:35] Yamazaki**
I haven't beaten it yet!
**[06:38] Yamazaki**
But I'm sucking it up and
working my ass off!
**[06:40] Yamazaki**
I have to deal with people like you
instead of doing what I want to do!
**[06:44] Kondo**
Hey, isn't he just bitching now?
**[06:46] Yamazaki**
Damn it!
**[06:48] Yamazaki**
Why can't I get a job like the one
Kochikame's Akimoto has?!
***SIGN***
**[06:52] Kondo**
What is he doing?
**[06:54] Kondo**
He's not even looking at the suspect.
**[06:57] Kondo**
He's just channeling the author
of this manga now.
***SIGN***
**[07:00] Yamazaki**
I watched Binetsu Tairiku!
**[07:02] Yamazaki**
I was all pumped up to
work after watching it,
**[07:04] Yamazaki**
so I sat down at my desk,
but it was no good!
**[07:07] Yamazaki**
I can't be like you! I'm worthless!
**[07:11] Hijikata**
Yeah, we don't care.
**[07:13] Hijikata**
Cut it out.
***SIGN*** [Note: Hideaki Sorachi= original manga author for Gintama.]
**[07:14] Hijikata**
This isn't a place for Sorachi to repent.
**[07:17] Yamazaki**
I'm just... I'm just...
**[07:27] Yamazaki**
This is the theme from Binetsu Tairiku...
**[07:31] Yamazaki**
The Taro song...
**[07:34] Yamazaki**
You...
**[07:35] Tanaka**
You are certainly a failure of a human.
**[07:38] Yamazaki**
What?
**[07:40] Yamazaki**
Like you're one to talk.
**[07:41] Tanaka**
I'm not referring to your
tardy work habits.
**[07:44] Tanaka**
I'm talking about how you gaze at the
top of the mountain in servitude.
**[07:49] Tanaka**
The path to the top will only grow
longer if you belittle yourself.
**[07:54] Tanaka**
A mountain peak does not exist
to show how small you are.
**[07:59] Tanaka**
It's there to provide you with a goal.
**[08:02] Tanaka**
If you have to wander down a side path,
**[08:05] Tanaka**
you should take your time
to slowly climb up.
**[08:09] Tanaka**
The mountain you call Akimoto-san
was the product of thirty years.
***SIGN***
**[08:13] Tanaka**
It won't be an easy climb for you.
**[08:15] Tanaka**
You must be prepared
to spend thirty years.
**[08:19] Tanaka**
Step by step, as steady as a turtle...
***SIGN*** [Note: Part of the manga title "Kochikame" is "kame", which is turtle.]
**[08:24] Tanaka**
It's possible that you'll
never reach the top.
**[08:27] Tanaka**
You may burn out halfway.
**[08:30] Tanaka**
However, you'll still have a better
view than you do now.
**[08:40] Yamazaki**
Thank you very much.
**[08:42] Yamazaki**
If you'll excuse me.
**[08:44] Hijikata**
What did you go in there for?!
**[08:46] Hijikata**
Why did you fall for his carrot?!
**[08:49] Hijikata**
Why did you let him use
the stick on you?!
**[08:51] Hijikata**
Why were you the one
who spilled his guts?!
**[08:54] Hijikata**
You're supposed to get the
suspect to spill his guts!
**[08:56] Yamazaki**
Still, I was able to get close to him.
**[08:58] Yamazaki**
He burned me a DVD of Binetsu Tairiku.
**[09:01] Hijikata**
He's the one who won you over!
**[09:04] Okita**
Hey, Yamazaki.
**[09:05] Okita**
Lend me that.
**[09:07] Yamazaki**
Now, I'll always be able
to see the rare scene,
**[09:09] Yamazaki**
where the interviewers ask kind Mr. Akimoto
what he's most angry about right now,
***SIGN***
**[09:14] Yamazaki**
and he gives his long answer in the interview.
**[09:18] Hijikata**
How could you enjoy that?!
**[09:20] Hijikata**
It must have been a really long interview
to make Mr. Akimoto say that.
**[09:24] Hijikata**
Rewatch the part where he's
interviewing the interviewers!
**[09:29] Hijikata**
Yamazaki, you let him
pull a fast one on you.
**[09:33] Hijikata**
I can't believe you let yourself
be lectured by that murderer.
**[09:38] Hijikata**
Pathetic...
**[09:39] Kondo**
He'll be a tough nut to crack.
**[09:42] Kondo**
Okay. I'll go next.
**[09:45] Kondo**
That's enough threatening.
**[09:48] Kondo**
I'll go with carrot.
**[09:49] Kondo**
Just like the rogue detective.
***SIGN*** [Note: Parody of the police TV drama "Hagure Keiji Jyunjyo-ha (Rogue Detective Naïve Type).]
**[09:52] Kondo**
Detective Gorilla: Empathy Type.
**[09:55] Kondo**
I'll use empathy to sway him over.
**[09:58] Hijikata**
It says Detective Gorilla. You're a gorilla.
**[10:00] Hijikata**
You've strayed from the human race.
**[10:03] Kondo**
Chief, take care of my daughters
if anything happens to me.
**[10:09] Hijikata**
Where's the chief or your daughters?
**[10:11] Kondo**
Detective Kane.
***SIGN***
**[10:13] Kondo**
You should learn to act
before you learn action.
**[10:16] Okita**
Yeah, whatever happened
to Detective Kane?
**[10:21] Kondo**
You're probably sick of the prison slop.
**[10:23] Kondo**
I've brought you something
special today.
**[10:25] Kondo**
Eat as much as you want.
**[10:27] Kondo**
It's Gorilla's special katsudon.
***SIGN***
**[10:30] Hijikata**
The katsudon might be
considered empathetic,
**[10:34] Hijikata**
but the way he's feeding
it to him is anything but.
**[10:37] ---**
Eat up.
**[10:38] Hijikata**
The exact opposite, in fact.
**[10:43] Kondo**
All right now...
**[10:47] Kondo**
Fact is, I have a son your age.
**[10:53] Hijikata**
Hey, Detective Gorilla!
**[10:54] Hijikata**
How old are you supposed to be?!
**[10:55] Hijikata**
That makes your son an old man!
**[10:58] Kondo**
You remind me of my son.
**[11:02] Kondo**
I wonder where he is now...
**[11:05] Kondo**
He said something about studying
action in America...
**[11:08] Hijikata**
How did Detective Kane
become your son?!
**[11:11] Kondo**
There was a period when he
went down the wrong path...
**[11:14] Kondo**
He'd be immersed in dangerous
bodybuilding shows every night
***SIGN***
**[11:18] Kondo**
like Muscle Ranking and SASUKE...
**[11:21] Hijikata**
Yeah, that sure is dangerous, but...
**[11:23] Kondo**
Murofushi, Shoei...
***SIGN***
**[11:25] Kondo**
Those were the nameless muscle
freaks he joined with,
**[11:28] Kondo**
as they snorted muscles,
**[11:29] Kondo**
and raced around in stolen muscles.
***SIGN*** [Note: Kondo is using "muscle" in lieu of "drug" and "motorcycle".]
**[11:31] Kondo**
It was awful...
**[11:33] Hijikata**
What the hell are stolen muscles?!
**[11:35] Hijikata**
How would that work?!
**[11:37] Kondo**
Eventually, my wife collapsed
because of her muscles.
**[11:42] Hijikata**
What?!
**[11:43] Hijikata**
You're not even making any sense now!
**[11:44] Hijikata**
Enough! Enough about Detective Kane!
**[11:46] Kondo**
She must have been worried
about our son's muscles...
**[11:50] Hijikata**
Stop talking about muscles!
**[11:53] Kondo**
But our son never came to the hospital,
despite his mother's condition.
**[12:00] Kondo**
He had been locked up in the slammer!
**[12:03] Hijikata**
Hey!
**[12:04] Hijikata**
Why are you giving Kane
a criminal record?!
**[12:06] Kondo**
Illegal possession of muscles.
**[12:09] Kondo**
He'd been secretly growing
Iketani in his closet.
***SIGN***
**[12:13] Hijikata**
How would that even work?!
**[12:15] Kondo**
He might have avoided arrest if
it had been the younger Iketani,
***SIGN***
**[12:19] Kondo**
but the older Iketani assures
you of a sentencing.
**[12:22] Hijikata**
What's the difference?
**[12:23] Kondo**
I was enraged, despondent...
**[12:26] Kondo**
I considered cutting ties with him.
**[12:28] Kondo**
How could I call him my son when
he hadn't come to see his mother
**[12:33] Kondo**
on her deathbed because
of his muscle addiction!
**[12:36] Kondo**
But as I sat there in despair
and regret, my wife told me.
**[12:43] Kondo**
Don't run away.
**[12:45] Kondo**
If it's the duty of a parent to praise a child
and rejoice when he does something right,
**[12:55] Kondo**
it's also the duty of a parent to curse and
mourn when he does something wrong!
**[13:03] Kondo**
Once my son was released, I beat him
to a pulp... Till he almost died...
**[13:10] Kondo**
However, when he repented his
old ways and stood up,
**[13:13] Kondo**
I embraced him as tight as I
could... Till he almost died...
**[13:18] Kondo**
It's the job of a parent to accept their
child, no matter what they become.
**[13:24] Kondo**
However, no parent would
want to hate their child.
**[13:29] Kondo**
If it's the parent's responsibility
to love and hate their child,
**[13:32] Kondo**
what is the child's responsibility?
**[13:36] Kondo**
I'll make this simple.
**[13:38] Kondo**
Don't make your parents suffer.
**[13:41] Kondo**
Please don't make them go
through what my wife did.
**[13:46] Kondo**
You have committed many sins.
**[13:49] Kondo**
It's too late for you to erase them.
**[13:52] Kondo**
Your parents will have to bear that
burden for the rest of their lives.
**[13:58] Kondo**
But there are still sins that
you can make up for.
**[14:03] Kondo**
It's still possible for you to lessen
the burden on your parents!
**[14:15] Tanaka**
I'll spill...
**[14:33] Tanaka**
I'll spill everything...
**[14:37] Kondo**
You...
**[14:38] Hijikata**
D-Don't tell me he actually
convinced that murderer?!
**[14:43] Kondo**
Did you see that, Toshi?! Sogo?!
**[14:46] Kondo**
It's all about heart!
**[14:47] Kondo**
My heartfelt carrot was able to
soften this hardened criminal!
**[14:52] Kondo**
Touch this killer deep down...
**[14:54] Hijikata**
He spilled something else!
**[15:08] Kondo**
What the hell is this?!
***SIGN***
**[15:10] Hijikata**
Why did this turn into a Detective
G-Pan death scene?!
**[15:12] Hijikata**
Weren't you a rogue detective?!
**[15:16] Hijikata**
Why are they playing the death music from *Howl
to the Sun* for a scene where he got barfed on?!
**[15:21] Tanaka**
Ah, I'm sorry.
**[15:23] Tanaka**
I believe this katsudon is spoiled?
**[15:31] Kondo**
H-Hold on...
**[15:34] Kondo**
It hasn't spoiled yet.
**[15:36] Kondo**
Please wait...
**[15:37] Kondo**
Don't throw this away...
**[15:38] Kondo**
It's only three days old!
**[15:40] Kondo**
I was saving it to eat later!
**[15:43] Hijikata**
No, the katsudon's definitely spoiled.
So is your head, for that matter.
**[15:46] Tanaka**
Forgive me.
**[15:47] Tanaka**
After you went through the trouble
to prepare that for me, well...
**[15:51] Tanaka**
I'll take responsibility
by eating all of it,
**[15:53] Tanaka**
so please leave it here.
**[15:55] Kondo**
What the hell is this?!
**[15:57] Hijikata**
Wait... Please wait!
**[15:59] Hijikata**
Don't take this from me!
**[16:01] Hijikata**
Don't overdo it!
**[16:03] Hijikata**
I don't want to become a killer!
**[16:05] Hijikata**
Hey, could you drop the
crappy imitation?
**[16:08] Tanaka**
Please set your mind at ease.
**[16:10] Tanaka**
You've done nothing wrong.
**[16:12] Tanaka**
I have faith in you.
**[16:15] Tanaka**
If it's the parent's duty to
bear the child's sins,
**[16:20] Tanaka**
the "friend" should take the duty of having
faith and fighting by your side.
**[16:31] Okita**
Gorilla-san!
**[16:32] Hijikata**
Weren't you going for G-Pan?!
**[16:33] Hijikata**
What happened to the rogue detective?!
**[16:35] Okita**
Gori-san! Hang in there!
**[16:38] Okita**
Hey!
**[16:40] Kondo**
He got me...
**[16:42] Kondo**
I was soundly defeated...
**[16:44] Kondo**
After I suspected him and
fed him this pig feed...
**[16:50] Kondo**
He called me friend... He
still believed in me...
**[16:53] Hijikata**
Yeah, why a pork cutlet?
**[16:54] Hijikata**
Shouldn't that be a cigarette?!
**[16:57] Kondo**
Detective Mayora...
***SIGN***
**[16:59] Kondo**
Detective Sadist...
**[17:01] Kondo**
The rest is up to you...
**[17:06] Okita**
Gori-san!
**[17:09] Hijikata**
What's going on?
**[17:11] Hijikata**
Our attempt to convince that murderer
**[17:15] Hijikata**
is backfiring...
**[17:18] Okita**
Hijikata-san...
**[17:20] Okita**
He seems to be much better than
us at using carrot and stick.
***SIGN*** [?-kun]
**[17:27] Okita**
Your concept of carrot and stick
***SIGN*** [?-chan, you're too close!]
**[17:29] Okita**
is basically where someone who's
always beating you from behind
***SIGN*** [It's embarrassing when people are watching]
***SIGN*** [What~ That's not true~]
***SIGN*** [On the other hand]
***SIGN*** [Geez, I can't believe you, stupid ?-kun]
**[17:34] Okita**
says something kind or righteous,
***SIGN*** [Sorry, XX-chan...]
**[17:38] Okita**
you appreciate it more than if it
came from someone normal.
***SIGN*** [I love you, ?-kun]
**[17:41] Okita**
What you might call the gap principle.
**[17:43] Hijikata**
What's with the really dumb visual aids?
***SIGN*** [...is more of a turn-on]
**[17:46] Okita**
However...
**[17:46] Hijikata**
What? We're not done with
these weird visuals?
**[17:48] Okita**
He's already known to be a vicious killer,
**[17:53] Okita**
so you could say that we've already
experienced his stick.
**[17:57] Okita**
By the time we try to give him the stick,
**[18:00] Okita**
he's already finished.
***SIGN*** [Mr. Akimoto is wonderful...!!!]
**[18:04] Okita**
He just has to spew some
nice-sounding crap,
***SIGN*** [Oh... My friend...]
**[18:06] Okita**
to accomplish the carrot and stick effect.
**[18:09] Okita**
We will always be behind in the score,
**[18:12] Okita**
which is why we aren't
getting any results.
**[18:16] Okita**
If we want to win, we have to achieve
carrot and stick before he does.
**[18:22] Hijikata**
Can we do that?
**[18:26] Okita**
It's impossible to do it alone.
**[18:28] Okita**
But...
**[18:32] Hijikata**
I see!
**[18:39] Okita**
Don't make yourself too comfortable!
**[18:41] Okita**
Your torture's about to start!
**[18:43] Hijikata**
A top-class sadist who's aiming
for his superior's life!
**[18:47] Hijikata**
And...
**[18:50] Hijikata**
Are you okay?!
**[18:51] Hijikata**
Are you hurt?!
**[18:54] Okita**
The follow-up master who cleans up after
superiors and subordinates alike!
**[19:01] Both**
If the two of us work together,
**[19:03] Both**
we can form the best carrot and stick!
**[19:07] Okita**
Now...
**[19:09] Hijikata**
It's over.
**[19:17] Tanaka**
Uh, sorry...
**[19:19] Tanaka**
What are you doing?
**[19:21] Both**
Wh-What?!
**[19:23] Okita**
Carrot and stick isn't working!
**[19:25] Okita**
Impossible!
**[19:26] Hijikata**
That should have been a clean hit!
**[19:31] Tanaka**
Are you okay?
**[19:32] Tanaka**
Why don't you have a
seat so we can talk?
**[19:34] Tanaka**
I was feeling lonely because
everybody had gone.
**[19:42] Hijikata**
A murderer feeling lonely...?!
**[19:46] Okita**
This guy has brought out
a real carrot bomb!
**[19:53] Both**
We can't hold him off!
**[19:57] Okita**
Hijikata-san!
**[19:58] Okita**
We've had this completely
wrong from the beginning!
**[20:03] Okita**
Think back!
**[20:05] Okita**
This guy is a masochist!
**[20:08] Okita**
Which means a normal carrot
and stick won't work on him!
**[20:12] Hijikata**
I-I see!
**[20:13] Hijikata**
A masochist won't feel any
pain from the stick!
**[20:17] Hijikata**
So his carrot would be the stick!
**[20:20] Hijikata**
We had the order wrong!
**[20:23] Hijikata**
Using the stick and then carrot in that
order didn't have any effect on him!
**[20:29] Hijikata**
We have to hit him with
the carrot, then the stick!
**[20:38] Hijikata**
No, wait...
**[20:40] Hijikata**
My carrot shouldn't have
lost its effect yet.
**[20:43] Hijikata**
Which means we need one more...
**[20:45] Hijikata**
One more lash with the stick to
complete our carrot and stick!
**[20:49] Hijikata**
But he's so far away...
**[20:51] Hijikata**
I'm losing my will to fight...
**[20:55] Hijikata**
It's no use...
**[20:56] Hijikata**
I can no longer...
**[20:58] Hijikata**
fight...
**[21:00] ---**
Toshi.
**[21:02] Kondo**
Toshi...
**[21:03] Kondo**
Toshi!
**[21:04] Kondo**
Toshi!
**[21:05] Yamazaki**
Vice-Chief!
**[21:06] Hijikata**
You guys!
**[21:12] Hijikata**
I can...
**[21:13] Hijikata**
I can feel power surging through me!
**[21:16] Hijikata**
I see...
**[21:18] Hijikata**
Carrot and stick isn't
limited to the enemy.
**[21:23] Hijikata**
Our plight was the stick.
**[21:26] Hijikata**
And the comrades who are able
to rise up out of this plight
**[21:31] Hijikata**
serve as the greatest carrot!
**[21:36] All**
Go!
**[21:39] Man**
Uh, this might be a bad
time to interrupt you all.
**[21:45] Man**
Uh, there was a mistake.
**[21:48] Man**
That person isn't Kohei Tanaka.
**[21:52] Man**
He's not a killer either.
**[21:54] Man**
He's Kahei Tanaka, a good citizen
who helped catch a shoplifter.
**[21:59] Man**
He crashed into a store window when he
caught the shoplifter, and hurt himself.
**[22:04] Man**
so we brought him to the
station to get treatment,
**[22:06] Man**
but there was a mix-up since
his name was similar.
**[22:10] Man**
I'm really sorry about this.
**[22:12] Man**
I'll bring the real Kohei now.
**[22:15] Hijikata**
Combine the carrot with the stick...
**[22:17] Kondo**
My katsudon is starting to spoil...
**[22:18] Yamazaki**
Mr. Akimoto works so hard...
**[22:18] Okita**
He was just a smiling nice person...
**[22:21] All**
What the hell is this?!
