SIGN    Beware of Borrowed Plumes
[01:33] Man A
    I think the first guy to freestyle was KIN.
[01:36] Man B
    What? From Mellow Yellow?
SIGN    Shiho, 18 years old, Tokyo
[01:47] Kuroda
    Hey.
[01:48] Kakihana
    Ah, yes?
[01:49] Kuroda
    What's that taxi driver's name?
[01:52] Kakihana
    Huh? You mean Odokawa?
[01:56] Kuroda
    Odokawa...
[01:57] Kakihana
    That's his name.
[02:00] Kuroda
    You know the missing high
    school girl case in Nerima?
[02:03] Kakihana
    Yes.
[02:04] Kuroda
    Rumor has it she got into Odokawa's taxi.
[02:07] Kakihana
    What?
[02:08] Kuroda
    But we haven't heard anything
    about the case since then, right?
[02:13] Kakihana
    You're right.
[02:15] Kuroda
    The investigation request was withdrawn.
[02:18] Kakihana
    Huh? So they found her, then?
[02:20] Kuroda
    No. Apparently they received
    a message from her secondhand.
[02:23] Kakihana
    That's great. She's all right, then.
[02:26] Kuroda
    That said, I'm allegedly the reason
    she ran away from home.
[02:29] Kakihana
    What? What did you do?
[02:31] Kuroda
    Could you investigate her whereabouts?
[02:34] Kakihana
    What? You want me to do it?
[02:36] Kuroda
    It's Don-chan's daughter.
[02:37] Kakihana
    Whose daughter? I don't know
    what you expect me to do.
[02:40] Kuroda
    Later.
[02:41] Kakihana
    Huh?
[02:42] Kakihana
    Uh, yeah. Talk to you later.
[02:52] Kakihana
    Huh? He was on the phone?!
[02:59] Dobu
    Odokawa-kun, let's go for a drive.
[03:02] Odokawa
    Sure thing. You'll pay your fare, won't you?
[03:07] Dobu
    Maybe, if you give me
    some useful information.
[03:14] Odokawa
    What information?
[03:16] Odokawa
    More importantly, that toy
    is awfully distracting.
[03:19] Dobu
    Is it a toy, or is it real?
[03:26] Kuroda
    Hey.
[03:26] (Flashback) Dobu
    Boss, what is it?
[03:28] Kuroda
    What's that taxi driver's name?
[03:32] (Flashback) Dobu
    You mean Odokawa?
[03:35] Kuroda
    Odokawa...
[03:37] Dobu
    What about him?
[03:39] (Flashback) Kuroda
    You know the missing high
    school girl case in Nerima?
[03:42] (Flashback) Dobu
    Yes.
[03:44] Man B
    Rumor has it she got into Odokawa's taxi.
[03:48] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Boss, about that...
[03:50] Kuroda
    But we haven't heard anything
    about the case since then, right?
[03:55] Dobu
    You're right.
[03:57] (Flashback) Kuroda
    The investigation request was withdrawn.
[04:00] Dobu
    I heard about that from the older Daimon.
[04:03] Dobu
    He said they heard from the missing girl.
[04:04] (Flashback) Kuroda
    No. Apparently they received
    a message from her secondhand.
[04:08] Dobu
    I see...
[04:11] (Flashback) Kuroda
    That said, I'm allegedly the reason
    she ran away from home.
[04:14] Dobu
    What do you mean?
[04:15] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Could you investigate her whereabouts?
[04:19] (Flashback) Dobu
    Why do you care about a high
    school girl from Nerima, boss?
[04:22] Kuroda
    It's Don-chan's daughter.
[04:24] (Flashback) Dobu
    What?!
[04:26] Kuroda
    Later.
[04:29] (Flashback) Dobu
    Bye.
[04:38] Dobu
    Odokawa-kun, apparently you picked up
    the missing high school girl from Nerima.
[04:42] Odokawa
    Apparently. I handed over my dash
    cam data to Big Daimon a while ago.
[04:47] Dobu
    Yeah, I know. I have your data.
[04:49] Odokawa
    Sounds like you guys are involved, then.
[04:51] Dobu
    I have a request.
[04:53] Dobu
    I need you to keep your mouth shut.
[04:56] Dobu
    Also, I want your help with something.
[04:59] Odokawa
    Big Daimon already told me
    to keep my mouth shut.
[05:02] Odokawa
    He said a wanted criminal armed with
    a gun would kill me if I told the police.
[05:07] Odokawa
    In fact, there's a wanted criminal armed
    with a gun trying to kill me right now—
[05:10] Dobu
    Not just the police. Don't tell anybody.
[05:12] Dobu
    Tell 'em you lost your dash cam data.
[05:14] Odokawa
    Don't tell anybody? Like who?
[05:16] Dobu
    Everybody.
[05:19] Odokawa
    So, what do you want help with?
[05:21] Dobu
    If anyone shows up looking
    for your dash cam data,
[05:24] Dobu
    I want you to let me know.
[05:25] Odokawa
    And if I refuse?
[05:28] Dobu
    I'll kill you.
[05:39] Odokawa
    Why are you so desperate
    to find this girl, Dobu?
[05:42] Dobu
    That ain't any of your damn business.
[05:44] Odokawa
    I can't help you if I don't
    know what's going on.
[05:47] Odokawa
    Besides, without some information,
[05:50] Odokawa
    I won't know what I'm not
    supposed to tell whom.
[05:53] Dobu
    Fine.
[05:56] Dobu
    First, my boss is looking for the missing
    high school girl from Nerima.
[06:00] Odokawa
    Why?
[06:01] Dobu
    Because she's the daughter of a classmate.
[06:03] Odokawa
    What about the police?
[06:04] Dobu
    Officially, the police suspect me.
[06:10] Odokawa
    Suspect you? Aren't you
    besties with the police?
[06:13] Dobu
    Hey, you insult me. Just with Big Daimon.
[06:16] Odokawa
    Really? Not Little Daimon?
[06:18] Dobu
    Little Daimon's an idiot.
[06:20] Odokawa
    So, you're not actually involved?
[06:23] Dobu
    Nope. Swear to God, I'm not involved.
[06:27] Dobu
    If anything, I was framed.
[06:31] Odokawa
    Why do you have my dash cam data, then?
[06:34] Dobu
    Don't interrogate me like
    you're the police, Odokawa.
[06:37] Odokawa
    Can't help you if I can't trust you.
[06:41] Dobu
    Honestly, I thought you were connected
    to the Nerima missing persons case.
[06:46] Dobu
    Apparently you've been talking
    to someone in your apartment.
[06:49] Dobu
    At first, I thought I'd get my hands
    on your dash cam data
[06:54] Dobu
    so I could blackmail you with it.
[06:56] Odokawa
    So you don't suspect me anymore, then.
[06:58] Dobu
    Nah, I still think you might've done it.
[07:01] Dobu
    The investigation request's
    been withdrawn, though.
[07:05] Odokawa
    Withdrawn? Then her family must
    be satisfied with the situation.
[07:08] Dobu
    They got word that she ran away
[07:09] Dobu
    because of the relationship
    between my boss and her dad,
[07:12] Dobu
    so they withdrew the request.
[07:15] Dobu
    They haven't accepted the situation.
[07:18] Odokawa
    Do you have any idea who might be involved?
[07:22] Dobu
    There's only one guy who
     could've put her up to this.
[07:25] Dobu
    A guy named Yano.
[07:26] Odkawa
    Yano?
[07:29] Dobu
    My junior.
[07:30] Odokawa
    If he's your junior, go talk to him yourself.
[07:33] Dobu
    My job is collecting payments for my boss.
[07:37] Dobu
    There's not much point in
    telling you about it, so I won't,
[07:41] Dobu
    but it's about obligation or principle.
[07:43] Dobu
    But Yano only thinks about
    collecting more money than me.
[07:48] Dobu
    He doesn't work for obligation or principle.
[07:50] Dobu
    In other words, Yano doesn't like me.
[07:53] Odokawa
    You're saying there's no point
    in asking Yano directly.
[07:56] Dobu
    Bingo.
[07:58] Dobu
    So if someone comes to take
     your dash cam data,
[08:01] Dobu
    in all likelihood it'll be Yano
    or one of his henchmen.
[08:05] Dobu
    That's why I want your help.
[08:07] Odokawa
    Why don't you tell all this to your boss?
[08:10] Dobu
    I couldn't. I didn't tell him
    that I have the dash cam data.
[08:14] Odokawa
    Why?
[08:15] Dobu
    Because Yano is always telling everyone
    that I only do petty jobs.
[08:21] Dobu
    It's reached the boss's ears, too.
[08:23] Odokawa
    In other words, he's a show-off.
[08:25] Dobu
    Yeah. I think Yano knew what he was doing.
[08:30] Odokawa
    I get the picture.
[08:31] Odokawa
    You don't want me to tell anyone
    that you have my dash cam data
[08:35] Odokawa
    because you don't want
    your boss to find out.
[08:38] Odokawa
    And if anyone comes looking for it,
    you want me to let you know.
[08:42] Dobu
    That's right. You're quick
    on the uptake, Odokawa.
[08:46] Dobu
    If Yano is involved
    in the missing persons case,
[08:49] Dobu
    then I can find evidence of that
    and use it to bring him down.
[08:54] Odokawa
    No, thanks.
[08:55] Dobu
    What?!
[08:56] Odokawa
    You're still a criminal.
[08:59] Odokawa
    I'm not interested
    in helping someone like that.
[09:01] Dobu
    Even if I threaten to kill you?
[09:04] Odokawa
    You can't kill anyone.
[09:07] Odokawa
    You may be a small-time gangster,
    but you've got your pride.
[09:13] Dobu
    You asshole!
[09:15] Police
    You, in the taxi. Pull over.
[09:19] Dobu
    Get us out of here, or I'll shoot.
[09:22] Odokawa
    If you shoot me, you'll just get arrested.
[09:26] Dobu
    Don't say anything stupid.
[09:38] Odokawa
    Damn it.
[09:43] Dobu
    Which one is it? The older
    or younger brother?
[09:55] Kenshiro
    Is something the matter?
[09:59] Odokawa
    Can't you tell? I'm being
    robbed. He's got a gun.
[10:04] Kenshiro
    Be quiet. You'll bother the neighbors.
[10:07] Odokawa
    He's got a gun. Search him.
[10:08] Dobu
    Something's wrong with this driver.
[10:11] Kenshiro
    It certainly seems that way.
[10:12] Odokawa
    How much is he paying you?
[10:13] Kenshiro
    In any case, could you turn off
    your emergency light? It's confusing.
[10:18] Kenshiro
    This is Shinjuku 4 to Central.
[10:20] Kenshiro
    Shinjuku 336 10-22...
[10:24] Koshiro
    Hey, Bro. What was that about?
[10:26] Kenshiro
    Ah, Little Bro. It was nothing.
[10:28] Kenshiro
    His taxi broke down.
[10:29] Koshiro
    Really, Bro? I heard something about a gun.
[10:33] Kenshiro
    Listen, Little Bro. Think about it.
[10:35] Kenshiro
    Can you believe anything a taxi driver says?
[10:39] Koshiro
    You're right. Damn those taxi drivers!
[11:00] Dobu
    Head to Shinjuku.
[11:08] Dobu
    You turned on your taxi's
    emergency light and kept me talking,
[11:12] Dobu
    found a cop car, and provoked me
    so I'd turn my gun on you.
[11:15] Dobu
    You wanted the cops to see.
[11:18] Dobu
    That was quite the risk you took.
[11:20] Dobu
    What if I'd actually shot you?
[11:23] Odokawa
    Whatever. I wouldn't mind dying.
[11:25] Dobu
    You're not afraid to die?
[11:28] Dobu
    Someone who's not afraid to die doesn't
    need your weird sense of justice.
[11:31] Odokawa
    I am afraid. Unbelievably so.
[11:35] Odokawa
    But I'd rather die than get involved
    in what sounds like a pain in the ass.
[11:39] Dobu
    I get it, Odokawa-kun.
[11:42] Dobu
    I understand that threatening you
    won't get you to do what I want.
[11:46] Dobu
    What motivates you? You don't
    seem very interested in money.
[11:51] Dobu
    I know, I'll hurt your friends.
    Who should I hurt?
[11:57] Dobu
    What's your friend's name? Kakihana?
[12:01] Odokawa
    Kakihana, huh?
[12:02] Odokawa
    He's probably better off dead, too.
[12:05] Dobu
    You're so cold, Odokawa-kun.
[12:07] Dobu
    You seemed a little shaken, though.
[12:09] Dobu
    You're actually bluffing, aren't you?
[12:12] Dobu
    Who should I choose?
[12:14] Dobu
    Taeko.
[12:16] Dobu
    Shirakawa...
[12:19] Dobu
    So, that's your weakness.
[12:24] Odokawa
    Why Shirakawa-san?
[12:33] Dobu
    Sounds like we have a deal, then.
[12:36] Dobu
    Thanks for your help.

    from the clinic."
SIGN    Super Rare Dodo
[13:45] Shirakawa
    You came.
[13:49] Odokawa
    Do you have some business with me?
[13:52] Shirakawa
    Is wanting to see you not
     a good enough reason?
[14:02] Shirakawa
    You know those fast-forwarded videos of
     landscapes filmed on a fixed-point camera?
[14:07] Shirakawa
    Watching those makes me feel so anxious.
[14:10] Shirakawa
    The sun sets in the blink of an eye.
[14:12] Shirakawa
    The stars move, and clouds drift by.
[14:15] Shirakawa
    It forces us to confront the fact
    that time marches on,
[14:17] Shirakawa
    regardless of what we have to say about it.
[14:19] Odokawa
    It kind of sounds like you're
    being snide about my tardiness.
[14:22] Shirakawa
    I don't believe there's such
     a thing as wasted time.
[14:25] Shirakawa
    But they say "time is money," you know?
[14:28] Odokawa
    Why not take things slowly, then?
[14:30] Shirakawa
    Try saying that again, but meaner this time.
[14:36] Odokawa
    Why not enjoy a bit of sherry
    and a fudge brownie
[14:39] Odokawa
    while strolling along the West Coast?
[14:41] Shirakawa
    Your snide remark has
    a rather American quality to it.
[14:46] Odokawa
    You don't want to be friends with me.
[14:49] Shirakawa
    Why not?
[14:50] Odokawa
    Because I've got some
    yakuza-type guys after me.
[14:54] Odokawa
    They know who my friends are.
[14:56] Odokawa
    It's kind of dangerous.
[14:59] Shirakawa
    I'll be fine. Despite how I look...
[15:04] Shirakawa
    I used to practice capoeira.
[15:11] Odokawa
    That was surprising. I thought
    a Bollywood movie was about to start.
[15:17] Odokawa
    What's capoeira?
[15:19] Shirakawa
    A Brazilian martial art.
[15:20] Odokawa
    Why?
[15:22] Shirakawa
    At first, I was trying to lose weight.
[15:24] Shirakawa
    Then I got interested in seeing how much
     I could improve my queixada form.
[15:27] Shirakawa
    Oh, a queixada is a kick to the chin. It's—
[15:30] Odokawa
    That's not what I meant.
[15:32] Odokawa
    Your makeshift capoeira won't
    be enough to beat these guys.
[15:35] Shirakawa
    That's obnoxious. How do you know
    my martial arts skills are makeshift?
[15:39] Odokawa
    If it was to lose weight, then it can't
     be effective in a real fight.
[15:42] Odokawa
    So it's makeshift.
[15:43] Shirakawa
    It wouldn't upset you if someone
    called you a makeshift taxi driver?
[15:46] Odokawa
    Obviously I'd be upset. It's my job.
[15:49] Odokawa
    I'm not calling you a makeshift nurse.
[15:51] Shirakawa
    By the way, what does "makeshift" mean?
[15:53] Odokawa
    You got upset when you
    didn't know what it meant?
[15:55] Shirakawa
    I understood more or less from the nuance.
[15:57] Shirakawa
    Use a synonym that's easier to understand.
[15:59] Odokawa
    It means "temporary substitute."
[16:01] Shirakawa
    Who's a temporary substitute nurse?!
[16:02] Odokawa
    I didn't say that,
[16:03] Odokawa
    and I'm astonished that you got
    upset for the same reason twice.
[16:09] Odokawa
    Please, no more queixada!
[16:16] Odokawa
    Anyway, it's dangerous for us
    to be meeting like this.
[16:20] Odokawa
    For you, that is.
[16:21] Shirakawa
    It doesn't matter. I'm an adult.
[16:25] Shirakawa
    I can protect myself.
[16:29] Odokawa
    What's your goal?
[16:32] Shirakawa
    For what?
[16:33] Odokawa
    What do you gain from meeting
    with me, Shirakawa-san?
[16:36] Shirakawa
    Am I bothering you?
[16:38] Shirakawa
    Would it bother you to occasionally
    meet and chat like this
[16:43] Shirakawa
    or exchange messages?
[16:46] Shirakawa
    I find being around you
    relaxing, Odokawa-san.
[17:02] Shirakawa
    I'm working the day
    shift today. I should go.
[17:05] Odokawa
    I'll drive you there.
[17:07] Shirakawa
    Oh, right. After all, you are a taxi driver.
[17:11] Odokawa
    I won't run the meter.

    Kichijoji to Lunch!
[17:20] Baba
    Let's get started. In this segment,
    we talk to people around town
[17:23] Baba
    and eat lunch with them.
[17:25] Baba
    It's already our fourth episode, and
    we've received absolutely no response.
[17:27] Baba
    Is everything okay?
    I'm actually kinda worried.
[17:29] Staff
    Well, we're shooting all four at once.
[17:30] Baba
    Oh, right. No wonder I'm not hungry.
[17:33] Staff
    Explain where we are right now.
[17:42] Kakihana
    Hey, Odokawa.
[17:44] Baba
    Here we go. Hey, what's for lunch?
[17:48] Kakihana
    What happened with Shirakawa-san after that?
[17:51] Odokawa
    You're unusually annoying today.
[17:53] Kakihana
    Has your affection for her grown?
[17:55] Odokawa
    It's the size of Jupiter now.
[17:56] Kakihana
    That's quite the growth.
[17:59] Kakihana
    Love is both a painful and beautiful thing.
[18:04] Odokawa
    Are you in love?
[18:05] Kakihana
    I was pretty popular
    in high school, remember?
[18:10] Odokawa
    Yeah, you played baseball.
[18:12] Kakihana
    But once you're an adult,
    people have pretty high standards
[18:14] Kakihana
    regarding your appearance
    or work performance.
[18:18] Kakihana
    As I've gotten older,
    I'd started to give up on it.
[18:22] Kakihana
    My spring's finally on the horizon, though.
[18:24] Odokawa
    Really? That's great.
[18:27] Kakihana
    I've mentioned this before,
    but in the marriage marketplace,
[18:30] Kakihana
    there's no demand for guys
    with specs like ours.
[18:32] Odokawa
    That's exactly it.
[18:34] Odokawa
    Why is a 28-year-old nurse interested in me?
[18:37] Kakihana
    It's that special feeling
    that outshines your specs.
[18:41] Odokawa
    I compared my feelings to Jupiter before,
[18:43] Odokawa
    but I don't really understand
    attraction or romance myself.
[18:48] Odokawa
    I always thought they were concepts
    that had nothing to do with me.
[18:53] Odokawa
    In any case, I'm not confident.
[18:56] Kakihana
    Before you know it, you're in love.
[18:59] Kakihana
    That's just how it is.
[19:01] Odokawa
    Don't lecture me on love. It's aggravating.
[19:05] Kakihana
    You wanna see the girl I'm talking to?
SIGN    Shiho, 18 years old, Tokyo
[19:10] Odokawa
    She's just a little girl.
[19:11] Kakihana
    She's still only 18.
[19:13] Kakihana
    So far we've only exchanged messages,
    but we get along great.
[19:17] Kakihana
    We're supposed to meet up soon,
    but she's busy with work.
[19:21] Odokawa
    Did you meet her on a matchmaking site?
[19:24] Kakihana
    That's right.
[19:26] Kakihana
    I know what you're trying to say.
[19:28] Kakihana
    You think she doesn't exist, don't you?
[19:32] Kakihana
    Well, read it and weep.
SIGN    Kakihana-san!! Good luck at work
[19:38] Kakihana
    Ma'am, another helping.
[19:40] Odokawa
    It's not that I doubt her
    existence. It's just...
[19:46] Odokawa
    Are you sure you're not being tricked?
[19:49] Kakihana
    Are you jealous?
[19:51] Odokawa
    Kakihana, I'm not saying
     this out of jealousy.
[19:54] Odokawa
    Think about it. You said so yourself.
[19:57] Odokawa
    There's no demand for us
    in the marriage marketplace.
[19:59] Kakihana
    I'm telling you, it's the feeling—
[20:01] Odokawa
    You've never even met her.
    How can there be any feeling?
[20:03] Kakihana
    I told you, we've been exchanging messages!
[20:06] Kakihana
    Take a look at all of these!
[20:07] Odokawa
    Let me see your profile.
[20:10] Odokawa
    Give me that...
[20:10] Kakihana
    No way. Why, you...
[20:14] Kakihana
    Stop that!
[20:15] Odokawa
    Give me your phone...
[20:20] Taeko
    Hey.
[20:23] Kakihana
    Ouch...

[20:30] Odokawa
    These specs you lied about way
    outshine any kind of feeling.
[20:35] Kakihana
    I know.
[20:38] Kakihana
    But still, I wanna dream.
[20:41] Kakihana
    I can dream, right?
[21:00] Ichimura
    "Good evening.
SIGN    Good evening. I finished work, and I'm in Arakawa. Could I see you now?
SIGN    Shiho
[21:01] Ichimura
    I finished work, and I'm in Arakawa.
[21:04] Ichimura
    Could I see you now?"
[21:09] Kakihana
    What should I do? What should I do?
[21:11] Kakihana
    I'm on my way!
[21:14] Odokawa
    Goriki's missing?
[21:17] Shirakawa
    I can't get in touch with him.
[21:19] Shirakawa
    What should I do, Odokawa-san?
[21:41] Kakihana
    Shiho-chan?
[21:43] Ichimura
    Kakihana-san, I've been wanting to see you.
[21:47] Kakihana
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[21:48] Kakihana
    I was glued to my monitor at work.
[21:51] Kakihana
    I rushed here in a taxi, but had
     trouble finding this place.
[21:56] Ichimura
    You're even more wonderful
    than I thought. I'm relieved.
[22:01] Ichimura
    You're all wet. Poor thing.
[22:04] Ichimura
    Shall we get some tea someplace?
[22:07] Kakihana
    Y-Y-Yeah. I know a place
    that serves good Darjeeling,
[22:11] Kakihana
    but I don't really know this area.
[22:13] Ichimura
    There's a Doutor nearby. Let's go there.
[22:16] Kakihana
    Huh? Okay.
[22:23] Kakihana
    Thanks.

    "Our story begins four years ago."
[23:37] Baba
    "He was working for a game company—"
[23:38] Odokawa
    Don't read that.
[23:39] Baba
    What is this?
[23:40] Odokawa
    It's an interview conducted by a writer.
[23:42] Baba
    This doesn't belong at
    an auspicious event like this.
[23:44] Odokawa
    Anyway, I'm surprised you came,
    Mr. Successful Comedian.
[23:47] Baba
    Are you being mean on purpose?
    I've got nothing in my schedule right now.
