[01:04] Sekiguchi
    This guy was a dud.
[01:05] Sekiguchi
    He's actually part-time janitor.
[01:07] Sekiguchi
    Not only that, but he's drowning in debt.
[01:09] Yano
    Drowning in debt and desperate.
[01:12] Yano
    Thought he could get away
    with lyin' about it.
[01:14] Sekiguchi
    The only thing he had on him was this ring.
[01:18] Yano
    An engagement ring? I could cry.
[01:19] Yano
    So desperate to tie the knot he lied?
[01:21] Yano
    Have middle-aged men's brains liquefied?
[01:22] Yano
    Will he tie a noose instead
     after being tossed aside?
[01:24] Yano
    An article of tribute for his fake honey.
[01:26] Yano
    If you ask me, this wasn't worth the money.
[01:30] Yano
    Who's got any use for this counterfeit?
[01:32] Yano
    I've got a few ideas 'bout where he can stick it.
[01:36] Kakihana
    Where's Shiho-chan? Is she all right?
[01:39] Yano
    Hey, Kakihana-chan.
[01:41] Yano
    If you still trust that girl you wanted to
    get with, your brains are in the trash can.
[01:45] Yano
    That calculating girl who flirted with you
    for your money took off and ran.
[01:49] Yano
    In other words, it was a scam.
[01:51] Yano
    I'm the one who told her to wait and
     see what your lame ass would do.
[01:54] Yano
    Let you think you'd won before
    sucking you dry and killing you.
[02:01] Dobu
    That's all for today.
    I'll come up with a new plan.
SIGN    Fuyuki Yamamoto
     Incoming Call
[02:08] Dobu
    Hey, isn't this the guy you said
    wanted your dash cam data?
[02:13] Odokawa
    That's right.
[02:14] Dobu
    Answer and put it on speakerphone.
[02:19] Odokawa
    Hello?
[02:20] Yamamoto
    Ah, Odokawa-san. Could you
    come pick me up right away?
[02:23] Odokawa
    This is sudden. Does it have to be me?
[02:25] Yamamoto
    Aren't most pickups sudden?
[02:27] Yamamoto
    It's one of those girls who
    can't be seen by the public.
[02:31] Odokawa
    Where?
[02:32] Yamamoto
    A short distance away from Shibuya.
[02:35] Odokawa
    Got it. I'll be there in ten minutes.
[02:38] Yamamoto
    Thanks.
[02:41] Odokawa
    What should I do? He'll probably
    ask for my dash cam data.
[02:49] Dobu
    Let me ride in the trunk.
[02:51] Dobu
    I'll eavesdrop on your conversation
    through your phone.
[02:55] Odokawa
    I can't do that. As far as I'm concerned,
    he's a harmless passenger.
[03:00] Dobu
    Then ask him why he really wants the data,
[03:04] Dobu
    and if he's connected to Yano,
    then tell me about it later.
[03:07] Odokawa
    Don't you think he'd lie about that?
[03:09] Dobu
    That's right. That's why violence
    is the only way to get people to talk.
[03:13] Dobu
    Let me meet him.
[03:15] Dobu
    I'm the one who has the dash cam data.
[03:17] Dobu
    I'm sure Yamamoto wants to meet me, too.
[03:19] Odokawa
    I can't let you do that.
[03:21] Odokawa
    I have to go. I told him
    I'd be there in ten minutes.
[03:23] Dobu
    Fine. If he asks for your
    dash cam data, tell him this.
[03:28] Dobu
    You'll sell it to him for one billion yen.
[03:35] Yamamoto
    Sorry, Odokawa-san. Could you take us
    to Shibaura Harbor in a hurry?
[03:39] Odokawa
    The harbor?
[03:40] Odokawa
    Hey, it's the girl who likes hot springs.
[03:47] Odokawa
    A calico cat. Where have I seen one before?
[03:51] Yamamoto
    What are you talking about, Odokawa-san?
[03:56] Ichimura
    Hey, am I going to meet Ya—that guy?
[04:01] Yamamoto
    Yeah. I'm sorry, but if you want to quit,
    you have to tell him yourself.
[04:04] Ichimura
    I worked really hard, though.
[04:06] Yamamoto
    Apparently, that target didn't work out.
[04:08] Ichimura
    What? You mean he didn't have money?
[04:10] Ichimura
    Is that old man serious?
[04:12] Yamamoto
    Oh, right. I just remembered.
[04:14] Yamamoto
    Have you considered my request
    to hand over your dash cam data?
[04:18] Odokawa
    Yeah, sure.
[04:19] Yamamoto
    Really?
[04:20] Odokawa
    I'll sell it to you.
[04:21] Yamamoto
    For how much?
[04:22] Odokawa
    One billion.
[04:25] Yamamoto
    That's the kind of price
    a child would come up with.
[04:30] Yamamoto
    What? You're being serious?
[04:33] Odokawa
    Super serious.
[04:34] Yamamoto
    This is ridiculous, Odokawa-san.
    You're gouging me here.
[04:37] Odokawa
    I found someone who said
    they'd buy it for 900 million.
[04:40] Odokawa
    That's why I want one billion.
[04:42] Yamamoto
    You're lying.
[04:47] Yamamoto
    Who is it?
[04:49] Odokawa
    I can't tell you that.
[04:56] Yamamoto
    If that's true, then I need
    to discuss this with someone.
[04:59] Odokawa
    Discuss it all you want.
[05:02] Odokawa
    I wouldn't mind 900 million or one billion.
[05:06] Yamamoto
    I'll be in touch.
[05:26] Sekiguchi
    Doesn't this seem like not enough profit?
[05:28] Sekiguchi
    Is this all we make from concerts?
[05:29] Yamamoto
    They weren't the only ones performing today.
[05:32] Sekiguchi
    Why's she here?
[05:34] Yamamoto
    She doesn't want to run
    badger games anymore,
[05:36] Yamamoto
    so she's here to talk to Yano-san.
[05:39] Sekiguchi
    Ah.
[05:42] Sekiguchi
    He's busy right now.
[05:45] Yamamoto
    More importantly, I've got some bad news.
[05:48] Yamamoto
    Could I talk to him for a few minutes?
[05:49] Sekiguchi
    Bad news?
[05:51] Yamamoto
    It's about the dash cam.
[05:51] Kakihana
    Shiho-chan!
[05:53] Kakihana
    You're being tricked, right?
[05:55] Kakihana
    I'll protect you from these guys!
[06:03] Kakihana
    It's okay, Shiho-chan.
    I'm actually pretty strong.
[06:07] Kakihana
    I've mastered every martial art there is,
    from sumo for kids to whatever-jiujitsu.
[06:13] Ichimura
    Don't get the wrong idea, mister.
    Seriously, I can't even.
[06:16] Kakihana
    Shiho-chan, they're making
    you say that, aren't they?
[06:19] Kakihana
    Didn't we have fun together?
[06:21] Kakihana
    We ate lots of good food together!
[06:24] Ichimura
    Spending time with you was painful.
[06:26] Ichimura
    That's why I want to quit
    running badger games.
[06:29] Kakihana
    You're lying! Liar!
[06:32] Kakihana
    You're not the kind of girl who says that!
[06:34] Kakihana
    Shiho-chan, you're a liar!
[06:35] Ichimura
    You're the liar, you bum. You're broke.
[06:38] Kakihana
    Why?! Why would you say that?!
[06:42] Kakihana
    I don't believe you! You're lying!
[06:50] Sekiguchi
    Shut up.
SIGN    Ayumu Goriki
SIGN    Can you tell who this is?
SIGN    Can you tell who this is?
SIGN    It's Kakihana, you unemployed bum.
SIGN    Wanna get drinks at Yamabiko right now?
[07:19] Odokawa
    It's been a while. I guess I'll go.
SIGN    Goriki Clinic
[07:23] Goriki
    Can you tell from this photo
    that this is Kakihana?
[07:26] Shirakawa
    I guess I'd believe you
    if you told me it was him.
[07:29] Shirakawa
    I doubt I'd know if I were just
    shown this photo without context.
[07:32] Goriki
    Yeah.
[07:34] Shirakawa
    It only took Odokawa-san
    a second to identify him.
[07:36] Shirakawa
    Does that tell us anything?
[07:38] Goriki
    At first I thought Odokawa
    had an exceptional memory,
[07:41] Goriki
    but it doesn't feel right.
[07:43] Shirakawa
    You're right. I thought
    maybe he had good instincts.
[07:47] Goriki
    It's almost like synesthesia.
[07:50] Shirakawa
    Synesthesia?
[07:51] Goriki
    It's when one sense is stimulated,
[07:53] Goriki
    and a completely different
    sense is triggered.
[07:57] Goriki
    Like seeing colors or feeling textures
    when you hear sounds or see letters.
[08:01] Goriki
    Maybe Odokawa has some kind
    of indicator for telling people apart
[08:04] Goriki
    and is basing it on that.
[08:07] Shirakawa
    I don't know if this is related,
[08:10] Shirakawa
    but apparently Odokawa-san has been
    speaking to someone in his home,
[08:13] Shirakawa
    and he's clearly not talking to himself.
[08:16] Goriki
    Regarding that, if there really
    isn't anybody there,
[08:20] Goriki
    then maybe it's an imaginary friend.
[08:23] Shirakawa
    Like a figment of his imagination?
[08:26] Goriki
    Yeah.
[08:27] Goriki
    You might already know, but he's lived alone
[08:30] Goriki
    since his parents abandoned him
    when he was in grade school.
[08:34] Shirakawa
    Alone?
[08:35] Goriki
    Apparently some kind of NPO
    that supports orphans
[08:38] Goriki
    sent him money to cover his living expenses.
[08:41] Goriki
    He pretends that he wanted for nothing
[08:43] Goriki
    and experienced no
    difficulties because of that.
[08:45] Goriki
    But if he's invented an imaginary friend,
[08:48] Goriki
    then he may be under more
    stress than he realizes.
[08:53] Shirakawa
    When did the two of you meet?
[08:56] Goriki
    About three years ago, I think.
[08:58] Shirakawa
    I thought it was this year when he first
    started seeing you for consultations.
[09:01] Shirakawa
    Had he been coming
    to the clinic before that?
[09:03] Goriki
    No. I rode in his taxi as a passenger first.
[09:07] Shibagaki
    It's finally starting.
[09:09] Baba
    Sure has.
[09:10] Shibagaki
    We used to broadcast in just Osaka,
    but now we've gone national.
[09:13] Baba
    That's right. Starting this year,
    the Homosapiens have expanded to Tokyo.
[09:16] Shibagaki
    For real. I'm overjoyed.
[09:17] (Flashback) Goriki
    Could you turn that off? It's annoying.
[09:17] Baba
    For sure.
[09:18] Shibagaki
    Got here sooner than I expected.
[09:19] Baba
    Yeah, seriously.
[09:20] Shibagaki
    Guess we should keep trying, then—
[09:28] (Flashback) Odokawa
    How old are you?
[09:30] (Flashback) Goriki
    38.
[09:33] (Flashback) Odokawa
    We're the same age?
    You seem so dignified, though.
[09:36] (Flashback) Goriki
    Hey, that's rude. Mind your manners.
[09:39] (Flashback) Odokawa
    Manners? You act like you're real important.
[09:43] (Flashback) Odokawa
    What, do you think
    the customer is always right?
[09:45] (Flashback) Odokawa
    I bet you look down on taxi drivers.
[09:47] (Flashback) Goriki
    You got some kind of pent-up anger, or what?
[09:50] (Flashback) Goriki
    It's not anyone's fault
    that your life isn't going well.
[09:52] (Flashback) Goriki
    It's not your environment's
    fault, either. It's your fault.
[09:55] (Flashback) Goriki
    You should resolve it yourself
    without bothering others.
[09:59] (Flashback) Odokawa
    Of course. Doctors speak
    differently from the rest of us.
[10:02] (Flashback) Odokawa
    Hey, that got to you.
[10:04] (Flashback) Odokawa
    That's charming. Good for you.
[10:06] (Flashback) Goriki
    How'd you know?
[10:08] (Flashback) Odokawa
    I'm psychic.
[10:12] (Flashback) Goriki
    Then why didn't you know my age?
[10:15] (Flashback) Odokawa
    Psychic powers come in a variety of flavors.
[10:17] (Flashback) Odokawa
    I can see souls.
[10:20] (Flashback) Odokawa
    And your soul's been screaming, "I'm a doctor."
[10:24] (Flashback) Odokawa
    As for your age, I couldn't tell because
    your soul and body are so separated.
[10:30] (Flashback) Odokawa
    In other words, you look old.
[10:36] (Flashback) Goriki
    You're funny.
[10:38] (Flashback) Goriki
    In that case, can you hear what my soul
    is shouting now? What's it saying?
[10:41] (Flashback) Odokawa
    "Don't turn. Head straight ahead."
[10:47] (Flashback) Odokawa
    Turning here gets us to your clinic faster.
[10:51] Goriki
    I was shocked. It really was a shortcut.
[10:55] Goriki
    At first, I thought he had
    an exceptional sense of smell
[10:58] Goriki
    that allowed him to pick up on the
    distinctive hospital smell coming off of me.
[11:02] Shirakawa
    But you think it's synesthesia?
[11:04] Goriki
    When I asked how he did it later,
    he said it was nothing.
[11:06] Goriki
    He'd just had me as a passenger before.
[11:09] Shirakawa
    So you thought it was his memory.
[11:12] Goriki
    Yeah. I thought it was impressive, if true.
[11:15] Goriki
    That's why synesthesia makes sense to me.
[11:19] Goriki
    I'm going to Yamabiko for a drink.
[11:21] Goriki
    Shirakawa-san, do you want to come with me?
[11:25] Shirakawa
    If I go, I imagine Odokawa-san would leave.
[11:31] Odokawa
    Mochi kinchaku and daikon radish.
[11:34] Odokawa
    I'd like some kind of nerimono, too.
[11:39] Odokawa
    Wait a minute. You've got
    a Donraku Shofutei autograph.
SIGN    To Yamabiko 
    Donraku
[11:42] Taeko
    That's right. He stopped by the other day.
[11:45] Odokawa
    Really? Wow.
[11:47] Goriki
    You sure do like him, Odokawa.
[11:49] Taeko
    He sat right over there with an
    incredibly cross look on his face.
[11:52] Goriki
    He came alone?
[11:54] Taeko
    He had an attendant with him,
    as well as a driver outside.
[11:57] Odokawa
    What did they talk about?
[11:59] Taeko
    How young comedians these days
    are obsessed with innovation
[12:02] Taeko
    and don't have the basics down.
[12:03] Taeko
    Or how he pretends he doesn't mince words.
[12:06] Taeko
    Or how being a commentator
    or judging comedy contests
[12:09] Taeko
    doesn't benefit him in any way.
[12:11] Taeko
    I thought he was getting mad,
[12:13] Taeko
    but then, he started cackling
    while reminiscing about his old mentor.
[12:16] Odokawa
    You totally eavesdropped.
[12:19] Goriki
    Oh, right, Odokawa. Let me quiz you.
[12:22] Odokawa
    What's gotten into you?
[12:22] Odokawa
    Does losing your job make you
    turn back into a child?
[12:25] Taeko
    I'd like to play, too.
[12:26] Goriki
    Sure. You can join us.
[12:28] Goriki
    Can you tell who this is?
[12:31] Odokawa
    Is this your thing these days?
[12:32] Taeko
    How am I supposed to know?
[12:35] Goriki
    Exactly. But Odokawa
    identified him immediately.
[12:39] Odokawa
    It's clearly Kakihana.
[12:41] Taeko
    But that's just how Odokawa-san is.
[12:43] Taeko
    He remembers the faces
    of customers I don't recognize.
[12:46] Taeko
    I bet you'd be good at customer service.
[12:48] Odokawa
    I can't unless they make an impression.
[12:51] Goriki
    That's not the question here.
[12:55] Goriki
    Do you know who this is?
SIGN    Inbox
SIGN    Got it.  I'll stop by later.
[12:57] Odokawa
    Of course not.
[12:59] Goriki
    Really?
[13:00] Odokawa
    Really.
[13:01] Taeko
    Odokawa-san, are you psychic?
    Like Psychometrer What's-his-name?
[13:04] Goriki
    What's this, then?
[13:06] Odokawa
    A bird?
[13:07] Taeko
    Even I know that one. It's a bird.
[13:10] Goriki
    Correct.
[13:11] Odokawa
    Are you making fun of me?
[13:12] Goriki
    Next, this one.
[13:14] Odokawa
    Shirakawa-san.
[13:16] Odokawa
    What the hell have you been up to?
[13:18] Taeko
    That's Shirakawa-san?
    Is this some kind of kink?
[13:20] Taeko
    Mixing your personal and professional
     lives? My, how scandalous.
[13:23] Goriki
    I see.
[13:24] Odokawa
    What are you trying to pull?
[13:26] Goriki
    Nevermind. Let's drink.
[13:28] Goriki
    Ma'am, drink with us.
[13:29] Taeko
    Perhaps I'll have a drink, then.
[13:30] Odokawa
    Must be nice being unemployed.
SIGN    To Yamabiko
    Donraku
[13:32] Goriki
    I know. Why don't we call Kakihana?
[13:34] Goriki
    I bet he'll come if I say I'm paying.
SIGN    Goriki
[13:50] Sekiguchi
    So, Yamamoto, what's your bad news?
[13:53] Yamamoto
    It's about the dash cam data.
[13:57] Yamamoto
    Apparently someone else has
    offered to buy it for 900 million.
[14:00] Sekicuhi
    900 million? He's lying so he can gouge you.
[14:03] Yamamoto
    I hope you're right, but we need to get
    that dash cam data soon.
[14:07] Yamamoto
    It was on the news the other day.
[14:09] Yamamoto
    I haven't been able to sleep since then.
[14:11] Yamamoto
    I keep expecting my doorbell to ring.
[14:15] Sekiguchi
    Quit your whining!
[14:20] Yamamoto
    Mystery Kiss is doing great right now.
[14:22] Yamamoto
    Their CD is about to go on sale!
[14:24] Sekiguchi
    You mean they'll make more money?
[14:27] Yamamoto
    Yes, and a guy who's a fan of our Nikaido
[14:31] Yamamoto
    won one billion yen in the lottery.
[14:34] Yamamoto
    I'm not sure if it's true or not,
[14:35] Yamamoto
    but I imagine he'll spend
    quite a lot of money on us.
[14:39] Sekiguchi
    One billion? Robbing him
    would be more profitable.
[14:43] Yamamoto
    That won't help Mystery Kiss get big!
[14:45] Yano
    Okay, okay. Nikaido sure is cute.
[14:47] Yano
    Ask her if she'd like to spend
    a night with me nude.
[14:50] Yano
    I was picturing that future but still listening to you.
[14:54] Yano
    My instincts tell me Dobu-san is involved.
[14:55] Yano
    Like the cop from those books.
    Inspector Totsugawa, I think he was called.
[15:00] Sekiguchi
    Dobu-san offered to buy
    the data for 900 million?
[15:02] Yano
    That's what I'm thinkin'.
[15:03] Yano
    He knows the guy who has
    the one billion, let that sink in.
[15:06] Yano
    He's tryin' to get us to
    rob him, and earn a free win.
[15:08] Yano
    Or Dobu-san himself is planning
     to rob the fella, I know.
[15:11] Yano
    I can see his train of thought
    clearly as it comes and goes.
[15:13] Yano
    That's what makes me the best, y'know?!
[15:17] Sekiguchi
    So, what should we do?
[15:18] Yano
    What should we do? We do what we can.
[15:20] Yano
    For now, we'll just play
    along with his little plan.
[15:23] Yano
    He's a tasty target for us, too, so I'm a fan.
[15:26] Yano
    A few million would be another story.
[15:28] Yano
    But playing the odds
    for a billion? Mandatory.
[15:30] Yano
    Dobu-san's trying to make
    money by ripping off my act.
[15:33] Yano
    Without a doubt, he's a shitty copycat.
[15:34] Yano
    I'd like to take him down,
    but I need forty winks.
[15:37] Yano
    Game set for tonight,
    tomorrow it's time to think.
[15:40] Sekiguchi
    What should we do with him?
[15:42] Yano
    He's an extra life in video game terms.
[15:46] Yano
    We should hold onto all the sacrificial
    pawns we can, as far as I'm concerned.
[15:49] Yano
    The more you have, the more
    prepared you'll be for misfortune.
[15:52] Yano
    You understand that, right?
    Then don't speak, okay?
[15:54] Yano
    I'll be thinkin' about you night and day.

    Until he cashes that lottery ticket,
    we'll be keeping you locked away.

    Hey, Mom. Sorry for calling so late.
[16:17] Kakihana
    No, it's nothing.
[16:20] Kakihana
    I was just wondering how you're doing.

    Hey, Dobu. To your left. It's Kabasawa.

    The Kabasawa Online Salon
    closed community met in Shibuya
[16:46] Kabasawa
    wearing skull masks for a million yen prize
    for whoever catches him,
[16:49] Kabasawa
    but one of our members became his victim.
[16:51] Kabasawa
    He won't get away with this!
[16:52] Kabasawa
    So, everyone, let's corner Dobu.
[16:55] Kabasawa
    If you'd like to help, please join
    the Kabasawa Online Salon.
[16:59] Kabasawa
    We're trying to break ten thousand members.
[17:01] Kabasawa
    For a limited time, the monthly fee
    is just ten thousand yen!
[17:04] Kabasawa
    Anyway, didn't that video
    strike you as a little odd?
[17:08] Kabasawa
    That voice at the end shouting,
    "Hey, Dobu. To your left. It's Kabasawa."
[17:12] Kabasawa
    Who was that?
[17:13] Kabasawa
    I think there's a traitor in the salon.
[17:16] Kabasawa
    After all, I was wearing this then.
[17:20] Kabasawa
    How did they know?! It doesn't make sense!
[17:22] Kabasawa
    Whoever finds the traitor
    gets a million yen, too!
[17:25] Kabasawa
    The Online Salon is jumping at shadows now!
[17:27] Kabasawa
    Show them our solidarity! Catch them!
[17:29] Kabasawa
    Catch Dobu! Catch the traitor!
[17:29] Man
    This thing has a ton of views.
    I bet he's made a lot of money.
[17:32] Kabasawa
    That's right, you! 
    I promise I'll expose you!
[17:33] Woman
    I know, right? But apparently
    he's starting to gain haters.

    They say he's a one-hit

[18:03] Dobu
    So, Yamamoto the manager seemed flustered?
[18:07] Odokawa
    Yeah. He wanted to know who
    was trying to buy it for 900 million.
[18:12] Dobu
    He was heading to a warehouse
    at the harbor, right?
[18:14] Dobu
    He's definitely connected to Yano, then.
[18:17] Odokawa
    Was the boss's classmate's

[18:39] Odokawa
    Apparently my friend is missing.
[18:42] Dobu
    I'm going to rob a bank.
[18:45] Odokawa
    Are you stupid? How, in this day and age?
[18:48] Dobu
    To be precise, I'm going to rob someone
    who's at the bank to make a withdrawal.
[18:52] Dobu
    I want you to help me.
[18:53] Odokawa
    Is the risk-return worth it?
[18:56] Odokawa
    Nobody walks around with that much cash.
[18:58] Dobu
    It's worth the risk. After all,
    he'll have one billion yen.
[19:02] Odokawa
    What do you mean? Explain.
[19:05] Dobu
    It takes a week or two to get
    enough cash for a large withdrawal.
[19:10] Dobu
    They're supposed to contact me
    when that happens.
[19:13] Dobu
    They'll let me know who's receiving
    how much cash on what day at what time,
[19:18] Dobu
    because I've bribed a bank employee.
[19:21] Odokawa
    And then you're free to do
    what you want with them?
[19:23] Dobu
    That's right. That's when
    the real crime begins.
[19:27] Odokawa
    Where did the number one
    billion yen come from?
[19:29] Dobu
    The bank in question exchanges
    lottery tickets for money.
[19:33] Dobu
    Anyone who wins a large
    amount has to go there.
[19:36] Odokawa
    Even so, nobody would withdraw
    that much money in cash.
[19:39] Dobu
    But recently, someone has
    appeared on the internet
[19:42] Dobu
    claiming to have won one billion yen.
[19:44] Dobu
    Yano's probably aware of him, too.
[19:47] Dobu
    Because I demanded one
    billion from Yamamoto,
[19:51] Dobu
    Yano will go after that guy
    for his one billion yen.
[19:54] Dobu
    I don't know if they'll threaten him,
[19:56] Dobu
    but they'll force him to withdraw the money.
[20:00] Dobu
    I'll be waiting for that opportunity.
[20:02] Dobu
    It's what you call fishing
    in troubled waters.
[20:04] Odokawa
    Can you trust someone
    who makes that claim online?
[20:08] Dobu
    If it's fake, that's fine.
[20:11] Dobu
    Somebody won one billion yen.
[20:13] Dobu
    Yano and his crew will find them.
[20:15] Odokawa
    How much is one billion yen in cash?
[20:18] Odokawa
    Can it be easily stolen?
[20:20] Dobu
    It weighs about 100 kilos.
    Not impossible to carry.
[20:23] Odokawa
    I doubt the bank employees will help you.
[20:26] Odokawa
    Do you have other allies?
[20:27] Dobu
    Among the police, yeah.
[20:29] Odokawa
    Who?
[20:30] Dobu
    You've been asking some very thoughtful
    and expository questions.
[20:35] Dobu
    Like you're trying to get me to commit
    to answers for a third party to listen to.
[20:40] Odokawa
    I'm getting involved in a major crime here.
[20:43] Odokawa
    Of course I want to know the details.
[20:44] Dobu
    Who, huh? I'm sure you have some idea.
[20:48] Odokawa
    I don't. Who is it?
[20:51] Dobu
    Daimon.
