[00:33] Sato
What?
[00:38] Sato
What? Seriously?
[00:42] Rena
Sato.
[00:43] Sato
Ow!
[00:45] Sato
Rena-san.
[00:46] Rena
What are you doing hanging around here?
[00:48] Sato
I won two bonus drinks
in a row for four total.
[00:52] Rena
Why are you buying so many when we
won't be able to use the bathroom?
[00:54] Sato
Oh, I couldn't drink this many regardless.
[00:57] Sato
Wait, there's no bathroom?
Not even a convenience store?
[00:59] Rena
Nothing. It's just bars and love hotels.
[01:03] Rena
Come on. What are you doing?
[01:09] Sato
Hot!
[01:10] Sato
That's hot.
[01:13] Sato
Anyway, I'm surprised a big-time banker
would visit an out-of-the-way place like this.
[01:18] Rena
This whole area's got a shady history.
[01:20] Rena
A few people even turned up dead
since the trouble with land sharks.
[01:22] Sato
What?
[01:24] Rena
According to his wife, he frequently
meets a woman around here
[01:28] Rena
because he works at the branch nearby.
[01:30] Rena
We're going to film evidence
of them entering the love hotel,
[01:34] Rena
spending the night, and coming
out together in the morning.
[01:39] Sato
But isn't it possible that
they'll arrive separately?
[01:42] Rena
Well, yeah. We'll need to keep the camera
recording for at least an hour for insurance.
[01:47] Sato
What? Why?
[01:50] Rena
If their stay is short, they might
not have gotten intimate.
[01:54] Sato
That's not gonna happen.
[01:55] Rena
In any case, we have two
options in situations like these.
[01:59] Rena
We can keep filming from the car,
or we can wait for them in the lounge.
[02:04] Rena
Well, you can.
[02:05] Sato
I've never been in one of
those establishments before.
[02:11] Rena
Yeah, that's not my problem.
[02:12] Sato
Look this way.
[02:13] Rena
Cut it out.
[02:16] Big Daimon
What are you doing here?
[02:19] Rena
Nothing in particular.
[02:22] Big Daimon
You can't be doing "nothing."
[02:24] Big Daimon
A couple like you must be up to something.
[02:27] Big Daimon
Is this a deal or something?
[02:30] Big Daimon
You're not hiding syringes
or anything like that, are you?
[02:33] Rena
Where'd this come from?
We'll leave, okay?
[02:37] Big Daimon
Hey, wait. You in the back.
[02:38] Big Daimon
What is that? Is that a camera?
[02:41] Big Daimon
You're not secretly
photographing people, are you?
[02:43] Sato
No, we're just capturing memories.
[02:47] Big Daimon
Then show me what you've got on there.
[02:49] Sato
Actually, uh… we're bound by confidentiality.
[02:52] Big Daimon
If you can't show me,
that means you're guilty!
[02:54] Big Daimon
You, out of the car.
[02:56] Big Daimon
Come on!
[02:59] Sato
Ow!
[03:00] Big Daimon
Show me.
[03:01] Sato
I can't.
[03:02] Big Daimon
If you're just capturing memories,
there's no problem.
[03:03] Sato
I can't show you.
[03:04] Big Daimon
Show me, dammit.
Just show me the damn pictures.
[03:06] Sato
Rena-san, help me.
[03:06] Big Daimon
Show me.
[03:07] Sato
I really can't.
[03:08] Big Daimon
Hey, what are you doing?
[03:09] Big Daimon
Are you filming an authoritarian cop
so you can post the video online, huh?
[03:13] Big Daimon
Hey.
[03:19] Rena
Come on, man. It's your first day.
[03:25] Rena
Are you even trying? Depending
on how your training period goes…
[03:31] Sato
While I was practicing taking pictures...
[03:35] Rena
The only thing around here is stray cats.
[03:37] Sato
Actually, I managed to get
a proper private eye kind of photo.
[03:41] Sato
A young woman entering a sketchy multi-use
building wearing a hat and sunglasses.
[03:46] Sato
She's gotta be a celebrity.
[03:48] Rena
That's the purview of paparazzi,
not private eyes.
[03:54] Sato
They're definitely asleep.
[03:56] Sato
Even though it's a weekday,
they're staying overnight.
[03:58] Rena
We missed our best shot because of you.
[04:01] Rena
You'd better at least get
a picture of them leaving.
[04:04] Sato
I didn't think I'd be questioned
by the police on my first day.
[04:10] Sato
Why don't we call it quits for today?
[04:12] Rena
Why did you interview with our agency?
[04:14] Sato
Because it's cool.
[04:16] Sato
I grew up watching anime.
You know, Detective What's-His-Name.
[04:20] Rena
That's all?
[04:22] Sato
No. I thought it'd make me
popular with the ladies, too.
[04:24] Sato
Honestly, I didn't think
this job would be so drab.
[04:28] Sato
I thought detectives did cool stuff.
[04:33] Sato
Aren't detectives—
[04:34] Sato
Wait, what?
[04:35] Sato
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
[04:38] Rena
Back up, backup, back up.
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
[04:40] Banker
You know it's not like that.
[04:43] Affair Partner
When can I see you next?
[04:45] Rena
Crap. They're leaving.
[04:45] Banker
Next?
[04:47] Sato
I'm going after them!
[04:50] Sato
Crap!
[05:02] Sato
We did it. We got them.
[05:05] Rena
I can't tell if you're lucky or not.
[05:10] Rena
Here.
[05:14] Rena
Let's go. We got the evidence.
[05:18] Sato
I'll write up a report
as soon as I get home.
[05:20] Rena
No. You can't take that out of the office,
so you'll have to write it there.
[05:25] Sato
This is huge for my first day.
I can't sit still!
[05:30] Sato
Let's have a toast. Would you like
coffee or soda? I'll go buy some.
[05:33] Rena
Why are those my options?
[05:40] Ibusuki
Hello, this is Ibusuki. Please respond.
[05:42] Rena
Sorry, boss. Were you asleep?
[05:46] Ibusuki
Oh. It's you, Rena.
[05:49] Rena
We just finished.
[05:50] Ibusuki
Did you get the pictures?
[05:53] Rena
Yes, just now.
[05:55] Ibusuki
How's he doing?
[05:58] Ibusuki
Sato, was it?
[06:00] Rena
His instincts are miserable,
but he seems lucky.
[06:04] Ibusuki
I see. That's a relief.
[06:19] Sato
What?
[06:20] Sato
Seriously? Lucky me.
[06:23] Dobu
Hey.
[06:30] Sato
Oh, I'm sorry. I keep
winning free drinks today.
[06:33] Dobu
I don't recognize you.
[06:35] Sato
What?
[06:36] Dobu
That's a pretty nice camera
you've got there.
[06:38] Sato
Oh, yes.
[06:40] Dobu
Who are you a reporter for?
[06:43] Sato
Actually, I don't work for a magazine.
I'm a private eye.
[06:46] Dobu
Then what are you investigating?
[06:49] Sato
I have a duty to confidentiality.
[06:51] Dobu
Don't worry. I won't tell anyone.
[06:54] Sato
Actually, I doubt it has
anything to do with you.
[06:58] Sato
I was asked to investigate a banker's affair.
[07:01] Dobu
Yeah? That's great!
[07:05] Sato
No, stop! There isn't anything on here.
[07:08] Dobu
Oh, yeah?
[07:09] Sato
Yes.
[07:12] Sato
In fact, why should I give you
my camera, anyway?
[07:16] Sato
Did the banker hire you?
[07:17] Sato
If you have a legitimate
reason, let's hear it—
[07:24] Dobu
I was never doing this
for a legitimate reason.
[07:28] Sato
The pictures are on this.
[07:31] Dobu
What? They're on this thing?
[07:46] Dobu
Our generation is physical, you know?
[07:50] Sato
My agency just provided me
with that. Hey, wait.
[07:55] Dobu
You haven't made any copies
or sent these anywhere, have you?
[07:59] Sato
I wish I had.
[08:02] Dobu
You know what'll happen
if I find out you have later, right?
SIGN Yamabiko
[08:12] Sato
Ow, ow, ow. It's definitely not broken.
[08:14] Rena
It's broken.

[08:15] Sato

Excuse us.

Excuse us.
[08:29] Taeko
Here you are.
[08:33] Taeko
Can I get you a beer—no, an oolong tea?
[08:36] Rena
Yes, please.
[08:37] Sato
Thank you. There weren't any other
shops around, so we had to come here.
[08:43] Rena
I'm really sorry about this.
He doesn't have a shred of tact.
[08:48] Rena
We appreciate you opening your shop for us.
[08:53] Sato
Oh, right. You can't drink.
[08:56] Rena
I'm surprised you can.
[08:59] Rena
How do you know my age, anyway?
[09:02] Sato
You're 19, right? The boss told me.
[09:04] Taeko
Even kids as young as you
work as private eyes, huh?
[09:08] Taeko
It's so exciting, isn't it?
To be suddenly attacked by a thug.
[09:13] Taeko
I love that sort of thing.
[09:15] Rena
He's a rookie who just started today.
I wouldn't call him a private eye yet.
[09:20] Rena
And don't give personal information
out to people you just met.
[09:23] Rena
You're not an amateur.
[09:25] Rena
Why do you think you were hired?
[09:28] Sato
Probably my interview.
[09:30] Sato
I'm pretty confident about what I said.
[09:33] Sato
Thank you.
[09:35] Rena
There was a written test, right?
[09:37] Sato
Yeah, the 50 two-choice questions?
[09:39] Rena
You got all of them wrong.
[09:44] Rena
You were hired because the boss said
he'd never seen anything like it.
[09:50] Rena
Have some self-awareness.
[09:54] Taeko
Well, Mr. Unreliable Detective,
[09:57] Taeko
have you ever been hired
to investigate anything really crazy?
[10:00] Taeko
Like a murder, or something
else you'd see in a movie.
[10:03] Rena
We have a duty of confidentiality.
[10:05] Taeko
Well, shucks. I thought I'd get
to hear some juicy gossip.
[10:08] Sato
You don't have any stories like that?
[10:09] Rena
Why are you asking, too?
[10:12] Sato
U-Um...
[10:15] Sato
Ma'am, is there anything
you're curious about?
[10:18] Sato
Like someone or something
you'd like to have investigated.
[10:22] Taeko
Call me Taeko.
[10:25] Taeko
I'm not sure if I should say this, but a few
of my regulars are curious people.
[10:32] Sato
Your regulars?
[10:34] Sato
You mean this place is surprisingly popular?
[10:36] Taeko
If it weren't, I would've
closed shop a long time ago.
[10:39] Sato
Oh, right.
[10:40] Taeko
All the shops around here have been closing.
The neighborhood keeps shrinking.
[10:45] Taeko
But some people just keep coming.
[10:48] Rena
So, which regular are you most curious about?
[10:52] Taeko
I'm not sure how to describe him.
[10:57] Taeko
I'd like to know what he spends his
time doing. How does he see the world?
[11:03] Taeko
He's just such an odd person.
[11:05] Sato
If he's a regular, why not ask him yourself?
[11:07] Taeko
That's the thing. I wish I could, but I can't.
[11:11] Taeko
Just between us, I feel like
there's a hidden side to him.
[11:16] Taeko
He never wants to talk about his past.
[11:24] Rena
Like we said, we're private eyes.
[11:30] Rena
If you tell us more about him,
we'll investigate whatever you want.
[11:35] Taeko
Odokawa-san. His given name is Hiroshi.
[11:41] Taeko
Born year of the tiger, so I think he's 41.
[11:45] Sato
Odokawa Hiroshi.
Year of the tiger, 41 years old.
[11:46] Rena
You don't need to repeat it.
[11:48] Taeko
Here.
[11:48] Rena
Thank you.

No, wait—
[12:10] Otani
Call us if anything else comes up!
[12:15] Otani
What?
[12:24] Rena
I'm really sorry. I screwed up.
[12:27] Ibusuki
I guess you weren't ready to lead.
[12:30] Sato
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
[12:33] Sato
I promise I'll make up for it
on the next job.
[12:36] Ibusuki
Well, that background check into
what's-his-name sounds perfect for training.
[12:43] Ibusuki
Then we'll call it even.
[12:47] Sato
Yes, sir.
[13:17] Sato
Here he comes.
[13:20] Sato
At a glance, he seems like your typical
slightly creepy but ordinary middle-aged guy.
[13:25] Rena
You're contradicting yourself, but yeah.
[14:17] Sato
He lives a totally boring, ordinary life.
[14:21] Rena
Well, yeah. But the client
might still find it remarkable.
[14:30] Sato
We're back.
[14:31] Rena
Good work out there.
[14:32] Otani
Welcome back.
[14:34] Sato
The job's going smoothly.
[14:39] Sato
Huh? Are you still mad, boss?
[14:42] Ibusuki
No. A new job came in.
[14:45] Ibusuki
Rather, an acquaintance's daughter
hasn't been home in two days.
[14:48] Ibusuki
He can't get in touch with her, either.
[14:49] Sato
What? A runaway?
[14:51] Ibusuki
She said she'd be back home soon.
[14:55] Ibusuki
She's just a high school student.
[14:57] Ibusuki
Something might've happened to her.
[14:59] Sato
What? Then we should start
looking for her right away,
[15:02] Sato
instead of wasting time on
this taxi driver's biography.
[15:05] Ibusuki
Do your own job.
[15:12] Talent B
That's right. I'm still single.
[15:14] Talent A
Not even a girlfriend.
[15:15] Talent B
Oh, shut up.
[15:16] Mc
So you're looking for one.
[15:17] Mc
Sir, how's your relationship
with your daughter?
[15:23] Manager
What happened out there today?
[15:25] Manager
You weren't your usual straightforward self.
[15:28] Manager
The producer said they'd never
seen you so quiet before.
[15:32] Manager
They said they'd come to check on—
I mean, say hello later.
[15:38] Manager
What's wrong? How about something sweet?
[15:40] Manager
Here. What were those idols called?
[15:42] Manager
Those young girls brought you a gift.
[15:47] Manager
What's wrong with you?
You're in a terrible mood.

Is this really an investigation?
[16:10] Odokawa
Why are you alone?
[16:12] Big Daimon
It's simple.
[16:14] Big Daimon
If you've got nothing to hide,
open your door.
[16:34] Big Daimon
This dash cam allows you to film
the inside of your vehicle, doesn't it?
[16:38] Odokawa
That's right.
[16:39] Big Daimon
How long do you store your recordings?
[16:40] Odokawa
About two weeks.
[16:44] Big Daimon
She'll be on here, then.
[16:47] Big Daimon
What?
[16:48] Big Daimon
That missing high school
girl got in your car.
[16:52] Odokawa
My car?
[16:54] Big Daimon
I'm taking your data. This is a seizure.
[16:59] Big Daimon
If anything comes up,
I expect your cooperation again.
[17:01] Big Daimon
Don't go to the police, though.
[17:07] Big Daimon
Hello, ma'am.

Hello.
[17:11] Big Daimon
Hello.
[17:14] Sato
Taeko-san was right. He doesn't
seem like an ordinary taxi driver.
[17:21] Ibusuki
I'm back.
[17:22] Otani
Welcome back.
[17:23] Rena
Welcome back.
[17:24] Sato
Any developments in the missing
high school girl case?
[17:26] Sato
It's all over the news.
[17:29] Ibusuki
Yeah, because her life's in danger.
[17:31] Ibusuki
The media started
receiving information today.
[17:35] Ibusuki
Just after 1 AM two days ago on the 4th,
[17:38] Ibusuki
after doing some shopping at a
convenience store, she got in a taxi.
[17:42] Rena
Have they identified the taxi?
[17:45] Ibusuki
Apparently the clerk remembered the number.
[17:48] Sato
Huh? After seeing it only once and briefly?
[17:50] Ibusuki
It happened to be their birthday, 1022.
[17:55] Sato
What?
[17:56] Otani
Wow.
[18:08] Announcer

in Nerima City, Tokyo.

We, the Homosapiens, just received

And would you believe it? We passed!
[18:27] Shibagaki

You look young. Have a seat.
[19:12] Rena
Excuse us.
[19:17] Sekido
So?
[19:20] Rena
We need a remote monitoring
dash cam and GPS installed.
[19:25] Sato
What? Hold on. That's totally illegal.
[19:29] Sekido
Where?
[19:31] Rena
His car. This is the dash cam.
[19:40] Sekido
It's a common model.
[19:41] Rena
You'll install it, won't you?
[19:43] Sekido
If you pay for it.
[19:46] Rena
You'll be paid tomorrow.
[19:47] Sekido
No can do. Equator operates 24 hours
a day, but that's just the sauna.
[19:53] Rena
How long will it take?
[19:54] Sekido
I'm busy. Give me three days.
[19:58] Rena
Make it one.
[20:00] Sekido
1.5 days, or pay a rush late night surcharge.
[20:05] Rena
How much?
[20:05] Sekido
550,000. And I'll need your help, too.
[20:13] Sekido
Pretty old car.
Didn't need all these tools.
[20:26] Rena
How long will it take?
[20:31] Sekido
About seven or eight minutes.
[20:33] Rena
Seven or eight minutes?
[20:35] Sekido
Yeah.
[20:46] Odokawa
What is it?
[20:48] Odokawa
Are you hungry?
[20:51] Odokawa
Hold on.
[20:58] Rena
Okay, all good.
[21:04] Sekido
That should do it.
[21:08] Odokawa
Fine. I'll go buy you something.
Stay put and be good.
[21:20] Sato
Crap, crap, crap.
[21:22] Sato
Odokawa's coming, Odokawa's
coming, Odokawa's coming!
[21:26] Sato
Crap, crap, crap!
[21:27] Sato
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
[21:33] Rena
Was he really talking to someone?
[21:36] Sato
Yeah. He even ominously told them
to “stay put and be good.”
[21:42] Sato
Anyway, I could imagine him kidnapping
and holding someone as cute as her
[21:48] Sato
if she happened to get in his taxi.
[21:51] Rena
He may be involved, but kidnapping
and false imprisonment?
[21:56] Sato
No, you're right. I guess not.
[22:00] Rena
Did you call her cute?
[22:04] Sato
Did I say that?
[22:06] Rena
Yeah, didn't you just say that?
[22:11] Rena
No, you definitely did.
[22:13] Sato
What?
[22:13] Rena
Her photo hasn't appeared on the news yet.
[22:16] Rena
Why'd you say that?
[22:17] Sato
I didn't say that.
[22:18] Rena
No, you did.
[22:21] Sato
What? Really?
[22:23] Rena
Yeah.
[22:28] Sato
I caught a glimpse of the boss' documents.
[22:30] Rena
I knew it.
[22:31] Sato
They were out in the open on his desk.
[22:35] Sato
Hold on.
[22:37] Rena
Hey.
[22:38] Sato
Where'd they go?
[22:39] Rena
Don't go through his stuff.
[22:40] Sato
This is it.
[22:42] Rena
Don't.
[22:43] Sato
Wait, wait, wait.
[22:45] Sato
Look at this Buddha.
[22:46] Sato
Tada! A Buddha.
[22:49] Rena
Wait a minute.
[22:54] Rena
Mitsuya?
[22:56] Rena
This is Yuki.
[22:59] Rena
Mitsuya-san.

[23:00] Wadagaki
Have we met?
[23:02] Donraku
Why'd you end the investigation?
[23:04] Driver A
Rumor is he's done a lot of gray work.
[23:06] Rena
He's probably never paid
for his mistakes before.
[23:08] Homeless
You should stay away from them.
[23:10] Sato
You're cute, too, Rena-san.

[00:21] (Flashback) Kanon
Wait. I nearly stepped on a frog.
[00:24] (Flashback) Rena
Frogs are cute.
[00:25] (Flashback) Kanon
I don't like their hands.
They're like maple leaves.
[00:28] (Flashback) Rena
These are good.
[00:30] (Flashback) Kanon
The new fall flavor is pretty all right.
[00:34] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Senpai, did you know?
[00:35] (Flashback) Mitsuya
The syrup we eat is supposedly fake.
[00:38] (Flashback) Kanon
What?
[00:40] (Flashback) Rena
Doesn't that stuff come
from trees? Maples, right?
[00:43] (Flashback) Mitsuya
No. Apparently most of the stuff
they sell at the supermarket is fake.
[00:47] (Flashback) Kanon
Huh.
[00:49] (Flashback) Rena
It's kind of sad that you can't be fooled
because you've had the real thing.
[00:56] (Flashback) Kanon
Yeah, Yuki's family is rich.
They've had the real stuff.
[00:59] (Flashback) Kanon
I bet you guys eat caviar
and steak all the time.
[01:02] (Flashback) Mitsuya
We don't.
[01:03] (Flashback) Kanon
You take tons of classes, too, right?
[01:05] (Flashback) Kanon
Like dance and voice training.
[01:08] (Flashback) Rena
Sounds rough. Plus, you
run track on top of that.
[01:12] (Flashback) Kanon
Lucky. I bet you get to meet boys
from other schools when you take lessons.
[01:16] (Flashback) Rena
Seriously?
[01:18] (Flashback) Kanon
Not only that, but your dad
lives in Tokyo, right?
[01:20] (Flashback) Kanon
You're winning at life.
[01:22] (Flashback) Kanon
You can sleep over all you want, too.
[01:24] (Flashback) Mitsuya
My mom's too strict for that.
[01:27] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Besides, I hardly ever see my dad.
[01:31] (Flashback) Rena
Let's all go to Tokyo together sometime.
[01:33] (Flashback) Kanon
That sounds nice.
[01:34] (Flashback) Rena
We can go look for real maple syrup,
get fancy ice cream,
[01:38] (Flashback) Rena
and eat pancakes at a cafe.
[01:40] (Flashback) Kanon
Sounds nice.
[01:40] (Flashback) Mitsuya
In that case...
[01:44] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Let's go once Rena-san sets
a new personal record.
[01:47] (Flashback) Kanon
You're so disciplined, Yuki.
[01:49] (Flashback) Mitsuya
It'll be a reward.
[01:51] (Flashback) Rena
How can I learn to jump like you?
[01:55] (Flashback) Mitsuya
It's easy. Boing!
[01:58] (Flashback) Kanon
Like a frog?
[02:01] (Flashback) Kanon
Hey, quit it! I nearly
stepped on one earlier!
[02:06] Kanon
Yeah. Just wait. I'll contact you.
[02:10] Kanon
I'm really sorry about today. Bye!
[02:13] Rena
Sorry. I know you're busy.
[02:15] Kanon
It's fine.
[02:16] Rena
Was that your boyfriend?
[02:16] Kanon
No, a customer.
[02:18] Kanon
He's a big spender, but he
doesn't know when to shut up.
[02:21] Kanon
He's probably trying
to entertain me, but still.
[02:24] Kanon
I always feel like it would've been better
if he'd kept his mouth shut, y'know?
[02:27] Kanon
Just now, he said he'd blow up
my phone if I didn't respond.
[02:29] Rena
I'm glad you haven't changed, Kanon.
[02:31] Kanon
I know it's my job,
but it's a pain in the butt.
[02:34] Kanon
So, what'd you want to discuss?
[02:36] Rena
Remember Mitsuya Yuki from
our high school track team?
[02:40] Kanon
Oh, yeah. Mitsuya Yuki. Is that right?
[02:44] Rena
What?
[02:46] Kanon
Oh, that Yuki!
[02:48] Rena
Yeah. I can't believe you forgot.
[02:50] Kanon
I didn't forget!
[02:52] Kanon
I've just been busy with my own
stuff since coming to Tokyo.
[02:56] Kanon
I don't have time to worry about people
who aren't a threat to my existence.

[03:22] Wadagaki
We're never going to
be popular, Ichimura-san.
[03:25] Wadagaki
As long as we're wearing masks,
we won't get fans like Nikaido-san.
[03:29] Ichimura
I wouldn't get fans
even if I removed mine.
[03:32] Wadagaki
You desperately need more
self-esteem, Ichimura-san.
[03:35] Ichimura
I used to perform unmasked,
and this is where I ended up.
[03:39] Ichimura
If anything, it'd be crazy
if I had any self-esteem.
[03:43] Rena
Wow. I've never experienced
anything like this.
[03:45] Kanon
It's not that different
from the nightlife business.
[03:49] Rena
Can we go talk to them?
[03:54] Ichimura
Can I help you?
[03:55] Kanon
Um, we're huge fans of Mystery Kiss.
[03:59] Rena
Yes, that's right.
[04:01] Ichimura
Really?
[04:02] Kanon
Oh, yes.
[04:02] Ichimura
I'm so glad. We don't
have many female fans.
[04:06] Wadagaki
They say people who make it
are loved by men and women alike.
[04:08] Ichimura
Yeah.
[04:09] Rena
Um, Mitsuya-san?
[04:11] Wadagaki
Yes?
[04:15] Rena
You're my favorite, Mitsuya-san.
[04:17] Ichimura
Seriously?
[04:18] Rena
Yes. I love you.
[04:20] Wadagaki
Really? Thanks!
[04:22] Wadagaki
What do you like about me?
[04:24] Rena
Your dancing, of course, but you've
got this brilliant aura about you.
[04:33] Wadagaki
No one's ever told me that before.
[04:35] Ichimura
She can sense all that when
you're wearing a mask? Crazy.
[04:38] Wadagaki
Right?
[04:39] Kanon
But don't you think I'd be
more popular than those two?
[04:42] Ichimura
What?
[04:42] Kanon
Mystery.
[04:43] Rena
Mystery.
[04:45] Rena
Oh, Mitsuya-san.
[04:46] Wadagaki
Yes?
[04:48] Rena
You don't remember me?
[04:51] Wadagaki
I'm sorry. Have we met?
[04:52] Yamamoto
I'm sorry, but today's event
is ending soon.
[04:57] Rena
Oh, okay.
[04:58] Kanon
Let's go, Rena. I hope
we meet again someday. Bye!
[05:02] Both
We'll be waiting.
[05:05] Yamamoto
Thank you.
[05:06] Both
Thank you.
[05:11] Kanon
Even girls like them can become idols, huh?
[05:13] Kanon
Didn't seem like they're
very popular, though.
[05:16] Rena
Apparently they get a fair bit of attention.
[05:19] Kanon
So, what was up with that Mitsuya Yuki?
Was she an impostor?
[05:22] Rena
Or a stranger with the same name.
[05:24] Kanon
With the same age and name?
[05:27] Rena
Yeah.
[05:28] Kanon
Huh. I think it's just a stage name.
[05:33] Kanon
She'd tell more people about it
if she became an idol.
[05:37] Kanon
Besides, she never seemed like
the type to go into the business.
[05:45] Rena
Thanks, Kanon. I appreciate it.
[05:47] Kanon
It's fine. The only thing more important to me
than work is a request from you, Rena.
[05:52] Kanon
You should just work at my place.
You'd make good money.
[05:57] Rena
Bye.
[05:58] Kanon
Sorry. Thanks for waiting.
[06:00] Otani
Thank you.
[06:00] Ibusuki
Thank you.
[06:03] Rena
Why didn't you tell me?
[06:05] Ibusuki
Because I knew this would happen.
[06:09] Ibusuki
I never imagined she was
your junior from high school.
[06:14] Ibusuki
Either way, all the more reason
for you to stay out of this.
[06:20] Rena
Why won't you let me work an important
case after all the work I've done?
[06:25] Sato
C'mon, you two. Cut it out.
[06:27] Rena
I'm not doing this job to look
after that hopeless newbie.
[06:36] Otani
See you later.
[06:37] Ibusuki
See you.
[06:40] Rena
Have you kept up your
investigation of Odokawa?
[06:42] Sato
Yes.
[06:45] Sato
I tried questioning his neighbors, but
no one would talk to me. I got nothing.
[06:49] Sato
Plus, most of these homes
are empty. Nobody lives there.
[06:54] Rena
I guess you're right.
[06:57] Sato
Besides that, he hasn't done anything
unusual. He's back to his ordinary life.
[07:03] Sato
He mostly operates along set routes.
[07:06] Sato
Oh, right.
[07:09] Sato
He follows these trend-chasing
routes through downtown areas
[07:13] Sato
and in front of TV stations.
[07:18] Sato
Oh, right. Rena-san, how was your junior?
[07:21] Rena
It was someone else.
[07:23] Sato
Well, yeah. If the missing person were
a famous idol, it'd be a bigger story.
[07:30] Sato
But you were so pissy with
the boss. You scared me.
[07:39] Sato
Did you get confused
because she's wearing a mask?
SIGN Mitsuya Yuki
[07:46] Sato
Anyway, masked idols sure is a novel concept.
[07:52] Sato
Oh, she's cute.
[07:53] Sato
This center girl's cute.
[07:56] Sato
Let's see. Nikaido Rui, huh?
[08:00] Sato
Oh, shit. I get why those nerds
obsess over them. She's really cute.
[08:05] Rena
Don't forget, someone's gone missing.
[08:07] Sato
Wait, wait, wait.
[08:08] Sato
You're cute, too, Rena-san.
[08:11] Rena
What?
[08:12] Sato
No, that's not right. That was rude of me.
[08:16] Sato
How should I put it?
[08:22] Sato
You're in no way inferior to them.
[08:30] Sato
What is it?
[08:33] Sato
What? No, wait. Personally,
you're exactly my...
[08:40] Sato
Where are you going?
[08:42] Rena
To gather information.
You're coming with me.
[08:45] Sato
I am?
[08:46] Rena
Yes, on Odokawa.
[08:48] Sato
Oh, right! Odokawa. Right.
[08:50] Otani
See you later.
[08:51] Sato
We'll be back!
[08:52] Rena
Also, could you stop sexually harassing me?
[08:53] Sato
Yes?
[08:55] Sato
Ow! Not the jewels!
[08:59] Driver A
Yeah, I remember him.
[09:02] Driver A
We used to note down passengers'
traits. I saw his notes once.
[09:08] Driver A
There was some kind of shareholder meeting,
and we had to handle a ton of passengers.
[09:13] Driver A
His report that day just said
monkey, monkey, monkey.
[09:16] Sato
Monkey?
[09:17] Driver A
Might've been a gibbon in there, too.
[09:18] Sato
A gibbon?
[09:19] Driver A
I know humans and monkeys are similar,
but it gave me the creeps.
[09:23] Sato
It is creepy. Maybe he was
under a lot of stress?
[09:27] Driver A
More like he's always been odd.
[09:29] Driver A
He can't recognize people's faces
or something. He's crazy.
[09:32] Rena
But he did his job properly?
[09:34] Driver A
I guess. Rumor is he's done
a lot of gray work.
[09:39] Sato
What kind of work?
[09:41] Driver A
Y'know, gray work. Don't tell anyone I told you.
[09:50] Sato
Her?
[09:51] Rena
Yeah.
[09:52] Sato
Excuse me. May we speak with you?
[09:56] Woman
I'm not selling. Shoo, shoo!
[10:01] Woman
I don't know what's going on these days.
[10:03] Woman
Weird people have been hanging around.
[10:06] Rena
Around where?
[10:08] Woman
There, in that building. The blue one.
[10:11] Woman
Harada Building 3, I think.
[10:18] Sato
Excuse me.
[10:19] Rena
Wait, wait, wait.
[10:20] Sato
It's okay.
[10:22] Sato
We have a few questions.
Could we have a moment of your time?
[10:25] Rena
We're researching neighborhood
connections at the college.
[10:29] Rena
We're asking people for their stories
and about the local history.
[10:49] Homeless
You're that guy Dobu beat up.
[10:53] Sato
Dobu? You saw that?
[10:55] Sato
Then why didn't you help me?
[10:57] Homeless
You should stay away from them.
[10:59] Homeless
So, what'd you want to know?
[11:02] Rena
We heard there's a strange
taxi driver who lives in the area.
[11:06] Homeless
Oh, him? Come to think of it,
the other day...
[11:12] Homeless
If you want the rest,
it'll cost you at least a hundred yen.
[11:15] Sato
Seriously? You're so greedy.
[11:20] Sato
Here.
[11:22] Homeless
The day you were beat up,
[11:24] Homeless
I saw a girl getting out of that taxi
driver's car in the middle of the night.
[11:28] Homeless
She was real pretty. She was
hiding her face, but I could tell.
[11:33] Homeless
I've got good eyes.
[11:35] Sato
Oh. I got a picture of her.
[11:38] Rena
What? Why didn't you say so?
[11:40] Sato
I definitely did! You just weren't listening.
[11:44] Sato
Huh? I'm not sure
there was a taxi, though.
[11:47] Rena
Was this her?
[11:58] Homeless
After that, the girl...
[12:06] Homeless
She never came out of that building.
[12:10] Rena
Was there anything else unusual?
[12:13] Homeless
Normally, nobody goes in or out
of that building at night.
[12:16] Rena
Where's the data?
[12:18] Sato
With Dobu. The pictures are
on the computer that Dobu guy took.
[12:22] Homeless
Also, sometimes there's
a huge car parked out front.
[12:27] Homeless
Definitely not an honest citizen's car.
[12:35] Rena
Thank you.
[12:36] Sato
Thank you.
[12:37] Homeless
Hey, you.
[12:39] Homeless
This is one of those things
that are popular now, right?
[12:42] Homeless
Some kind of paperweight or yokan.
[12:44] Homeless
There's gold in these, right?
Do they sell for a lot?
[12:46] Sato
Ugh, where did you find that?
[12:47] Rena
Wait, where did you find that?
[12:55] Rena
We're with Ibusuki.
We'd like you to restore some data.
[12:59] Sekido
Leave it in that drawer.
[13:01] Sekido
Depending on the contents,
it could cost you.
[13:07] Sato
Taeko-san, you've got a keen nose.
[13:10] Sato
This taxi driver might be holding
a high school girl captive.
[13:14] Rena
Taeko-san, what do you think?
[13:16] Rena
Would Odokawa-san do something like that?
[13:18] Taeko
This isn't what I had in mind
when I asked you to investigate him.
[13:21] Sato
Neither did we when we took the job.
[13:24] Rena
We haven't found conclusive evidence yet.
[13:29] Rena
But he's been in touch with a police officer.
[13:32] Rena
It's possible Odokawa-san
is caught up in the case somehow.
[13:38] Rena
Is there anything else you know?
[13:41] Taeko
He said he doesn't wash clothes
that don't directly touch his skin.
[13:45] Rena
In any case, we know Odokawa-san
is an eccentric man.
[13:49] Rena
We'll put together a report on that,
so give us some more time.
[13:57] Rena
Also, Taeko-san, I've been wondering.
[14:02] Rena
Odokawa-san's taxi may have been
parked outside a certain building
[14:05] Rena
the day the girl went missing.
[14:07] Rena
Harada Building 3.
[14:09] Taeko
Oh, my.
[14:11] Rena
Does that ring any bells?
[14:14] Taeko
It's been about 15 years.
[14:18] Taeko
A few major businesses tried to redevelop
the neighborhood. The fighting was intense.
[14:24] Taeko
The land sharks came to my place, too.
[14:34] Taeko
One of their subsidiary fronts moved in.
[14:37] Taeko
They ended up taking
over the whole building.
[14:44] Sato
So this is Harada Building 3.
SIGN Harada Building 3
[14:47] Sato
A cram school, an English school,
a dance school, a yoga studio,
[14:50] Sato
and even a capoeira school. What a mess.
[14:53] Sato
Does this place have anything
to do with Odokawa?
[14:55] Rena
What kind of high school girl
takes a taxi to cram school?
[14:58] Sato
You're right.
[15:00] Rena
What's Gray Dog?
SIGN Gray Dog, Inc.
[15:02] Sato
It's a talent agency.
[15:05] Rena
A talent agency?
[15:14] Odokawa
What do you want? I told you,
I won't work for you.
[15:19] Dobu
Odokawa-kun, let's go for a drive.
[15:23] Odokawa
Sure thing. You'll pay
your fare, won't you?
[15:33] Yano
Good to see you again, Dobu-san.
[15:37] Dobu
Yano. I see you've still got
a crowd of groupies.
[15:42] Dobu
How am I supposed to get in?
[15:44] Yano
Unlike someone I know,
my popularity has grown.
[15:50] Dobu
The only thing that's grown to make up for
your lack of substance is your shamelessness.
[15:54] Kuroda
Hey, you two! Cut it out.
[15:59] Kuroda
So, what happened with Odokawa?
[16:04] Dobu
I paid him a visit, but I'm
not satisfied with the results.
[16:09] Kuroda
No leads?
[16:11] Dobu
I even reached out to
the police, but nothing yet.
[16:16] Dobu
More importantly, isn't the bigger problem
that Yano might be involved?
[16:24] Kuroda
How long has it been?
[16:29] Dobu
About 20 minutes.
[16:35] Kuroda
Since you got out of prison.
[16:38] Dobu
The tenth anniversary of my uncle's death
was the other day, so five or six years.
[16:43] Kuroda
Don't you think it's time you got
used to the way the world is now?
[16:51] Kuroda
We don't use this anymore.
[16:54] Kuroda
We use this now.
[16:57] Dobu
I'm not changing my ways.
[16:59] Kuroda
You're too old.
[17:03] Kuroda
You can't be a lone wolf forever.
[17:07] Kuroda
My underlings are at your disposal, you know.
[17:10] Dobu
Forget about me, boss. How's your health?
[17:17] Kuroda
I'm doing better.
Maybe it's thanks to the sauna.
[17:23] Kuroda
I'm scared of change, which is why I'm
thinking of leaving things up to you boys.
[17:34] Kabasawa
I have an announcement to make.
[17:36] Kabasawa
I, Taichi Kabasawa, will capture
Dobu by the end of the year!
[17:40] Kabasawa
For those of you who don't know who Dobu is,
[17:42] Kabasawa
I'm not sure if he's a thug or yakuza member,
but the police are after him.
[17:48] Kabasawa
As a matter of fact, I know people
who were beaten half to death by Dobu.
[17:53] Kabasawa
I'll put off finding a job
and my schoolwork to catch him!
[17:55] Kabasawa
What will I do once I catch him?
[17:56] Kabasawa
He'll apologize. I'll make him apologize.
[17:57] Sato
Apologize?
[17:59] Kabasawa
I'll upload a video of him
on his knees. I'll rehabilitate him.
[18:01] Sato
Nice.
[18:01] Kabasawa
If the law can't punish him, then I will!
[18:04] Sato
Yeah!
[18:05] Kabasawa
No, we will. Including you,
person watching this video.
[18:07] Kabasawa
Together, we'll catch Dobu!
[18:07] Rena
How did this boring crap go viral?
[18:09] Kabasawa
I'm Meisei University
student Taichi Kabasawa!
[18:10] Sato
What? Don't you think it's amazing?
[18:11] Sato
He said he'd catch Dobu.
[18:12] Kabasawa
I won't run. I won't hide.
I'll stand in the line of fire.
[18:14] Rena
He's probably never paid
for his mistakes before.
[18:14] Kabasawa
So I'm accepting any
and all information. Help me.
[18:16] Otani
See you later.
[18:17] Kabasawa
Crimes must be punished.
Together we shall defeat evil!
[18:17] Rena
Is this Dobu-san really that famous?
[18:18] Client
Thank you.
[18:20] Kabasawa
Justice will win!
[18:21] Sato
Apparently he's committed
every evil act under the sun.
[18:26] Otani
Thank you very much.
[18:27] Sato
I had no idea someone so dangerous
picked a fight with me.
[18:31] Rena
Should you be bragging about that?
[18:34] Rena
What was a big shot like him doing
wandering around there, anyway?
[18:37] Sato
You mean Dobu?
[18:39] Rena
Yeah. And send me the link
to Kabasawa's video.
[18:42] Rena
I'm going to make an appointment.
[18:43] Sato
What? An appointment?
[18:45] Sato
I wouldn't meet with someone like him.
[18:46] Ibusuki
Hey. I heard you guys
have been visiting Sekido.
[18:52] Ibusuki
I never approved that.
[18:55] Rena
Sorry.
[18:56] Sato
I told you so.
[18:58] Ibusuki
Finding the high school girl is my job.
[19:01] Ibusuki
Your job is running a background
check on that taxi driver.
[19:05] Ibusuki
Private eyes don't find fault
with or judge people.
[19:10] Ibusuki
There's no need for us
to put ourselves in danger.
[19:16] Sato
Danger? What do you mean, danger?
[19:17] Rena
What happened to Mitsuya-san—
to Yuki after that?
[19:23] Ibusuki
They canceled the investigation.
Apparently, they heard from her.
[19:28] Ibusuki
So I want you to leave this
Mitsuya Yuki business alone. Got it?
[19:34] Sato
Ow! That totally opened my cut.
[19:39] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Is that thing your favorite?
[19:41] (Flashback) Rena
Huh?
[19:42] (Flashback) Mitsuya
You're always touching it.
[19:44] (Flashback) Rena
Do I? I never noticed.
[19:47] (Flashback) Mitsuya
It's cute.
[19:49] (Flashback) Rena
No way.
[19:50] (Flashback) Kanon
That's the first time
anyone's called it cute.
[19:53] (Flashback) Rena
I put something ugly on it
so no one would steal it.
[19:57] (Flashback) Rena
But maybe I've grown attached to it.
[19:59] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Then could I have that keychain
when you graduate?
[20:07] (Flashback) Rena
But you've already got everything, Yuki.
[20:14] Kumiko
What else was I supposed to do?
[20:16] Donraku
But why'd you end the investigation?
[20:19] Kumiko
Because he said he heard from her.
[20:23] Donraku
We can't trust anything that manager says.
[20:26] Donraku
She would've told us
if she wanted to move out.
[20:30] Kumiko
Maybe she heard about your past.
[20:36] Donraku
You really think so?
[20:39] Donraku
At least once, every man should go home
and earnestly face his wife and kids.
[20:45] Donraku
It's not like he brings home the bacon.
[20:50] Rena
Feet.
[20:51] Sato
Hey.
[20:58] Sato
Hey, wait! You need to be careful with that.
[21:01] Rena
That thing? What is that?
[21:02] Sato
Yeah.
[21:03] Rena
What is that creepy thing
that emits uniquely evil vibes?
[21:08] Sato
How could you?
[21:10] Sato
You're the one who bought that weird
keychain from a homeless person.
[21:13] Rena
What? Are you saying that's not weird?
[21:18] Sato
It's my lucky treasure boat eraser.
[21:22] Sato
My dad bought it for me in grade school
when he went to China.
[21:26] Rena
Sounds fishy to me.
[21:28] Sato
Rare things started coming my way
since I acquired it.
[21:33] Rena
Like what?
[21:34] Sato
Like a La Sagrada Familia eraser
and a Leaning Tower of Pisa eraser.
[21:37] Rena
Just erasers?
[21:39] Sato
At the time, collecting erasers
was all the rage.
[21:44] Sato
We were really competitive about it.
[21:46] Sato
I looked for an eraser rarer
than my friend's dodo eraser.
[21:49] Otani
What was it?
[21:51] Sato
The world's only Donraku eraser.
[21:53] Otani
Donraku?
[21:54] Sato
I talked to my dad
and bid on an online auction.
[21:58] Sato
We went back and forth for a while,
until suddenly they bid 100,000 yen.
[22:02] Sato
That's when I dropped out.
[22:03] Otani
Kids are bidding 100,000 yen on erasers?
What's the world coming to?
[22:07] Sato
Seriously. I'm glad I didn't buy it.
[22:09] Rena
Wow, you got a 50-50 right for once.
[22:12] Sato
It's not like I always choose wrong.
[22:14] Rena
You don't know that.
[22:15] Rena
There's no way to know at the time
if you're making the right choice or not.
[22:21] Sato
True. In that case, every wrong
choice I've made until now
[22:26] Sato
could turn into successes by the time I die.
[22:30] Rena
Optimistic, aren't you?
[22:32] Rena
Was Donraku that much of a celebrity?
[22:36] Otani
He was handsome when he was younger.
Had a wild side, though.
[22:39] Sato
You're too young to know, huh?
[22:41] Rena
Yup.
[22:41] Sato
I watched his show every week.
[22:43] Otani
Same.
[22:44] Sato
I laughed so hard it made my stomach hurt.
[22:46] Sato
These days it's like a talk show
with a prominent rakugo storyteller.
[22:50] Sato
My mom got really mad at me.
[22:52] Sato
She said, "Why's my ugly idiot
son watching this low-brow crap?"
[22:57] Otani
Ugly idiot? You're kidding, right?
[22:59] Rena
Excuse me, Donraku-san.

[01:14] Rena
Excuse me, Donraku-san.
[01:17] Donraku
Thanks for looking out for Yuki.
[01:22] Rena
Of course. I'm just worried
about where she is.
[01:27] Donraku
I'm worried, too.
[01:33] Rena
I'm actually a private eye.
[01:39] Donraku
What?
[01:42] Rena
You hired my boss Ibusuki, didn't you?
[01:47] Donraku
No, I asked an old acquaintance for help.
[01:50] Donraku
We can't seem to get rid
of each other, y'know?
[01:52] Donraku
Maybe it reached your agency through him.
[01:56] Rena
I see.
[01:58] Rena
Did you receive any threatening
phone calls or ransom demands?
[02:03] Donraku
I already told the police this,
but no, nothing like that.
[02:07] Donraku
At first, I thought that might be it, too.
[02:11] Donraku
Maybe someone found out
that she's my daughter.
[02:16] Donraku
I've got a lot of enemies, you see.
[02:18] Donraku
I'm sure there are people
who hate me all over.
[02:21] Rena
So, what about Yuki?
[02:22] Donraku
Apparently she ran away from home
and said not to look for her.
[02:28] Donraku
Then my wife canceled the search.
[02:33] Donraku
I'm not convinced, though.
[02:36] Donraku
I won't believe it until I see her face.
[02:40] Donraku
Is that how kids are these days?
[02:44] Rena
I don't think Yuki's that kind of girl.
[02:48] Mc
Another celebrity was caught cheating.
What do you think, sir?
[02:54] Donraku
You know what I think? Who cares?
[02:56] Rena
You'd better not be slacking off again.
[03:00] Sato
Sorry.
[03:03] Otani
Another bill for you.
[03:04] Sato
Thanks.
[03:08] Sato
I sure did everything I could
for my first job.
[03:11] Sato
It made me realize everyone's got a history.
A life. Even ordinary taxi drivers.
[03:18] Sato
What do we do with this information?
[03:20] Sato
What about the illegal stuff?
Should we retrieve it?
[03:22] Rena
Odokawa could be involved
in a criminal case.
[03:25] Rena
We can't leave things the way they are.
[03:26] Sato
We already looked into that.
[03:29] Sato
He was just a regular middle-aged guy.
[03:31] Sato
Besides, he drives dozens
of passengers a day.
[03:34] Sato
It's not that odd if one of them
went missing.
[03:37] Rena
That one passenger was
my junior in high school,
[03:39] Rena
and she might've gotten
mixed up in something.
[03:42] Sato
Well, I don't know your high school junior.
[03:45] Rena
Oh, yeah?
[03:49] Rena
At this agency, you're my junior.
[03:51] Rena
Guess I shouldn't care about you, either.
[03:52] Rena
You can do the rest of this yourself.
[04:00] Kuroda
Ibu, one of your young 'uns
went to see Don-chan.
[04:08] Ibusuki
I told her not to.
[04:11] Kuroda
You didn't put her up to it?
[04:15] Ibusuki
The girl's her junior from back home.
[04:18] Ibusuki
Once she gets into something,
she acts indiscriminately.
[04:25] Kuroda
Yeah?
[04:31] Kuroda
That's no good.
[04:35] Ibusuki
Please just leave her alone.
[04:39] Ibusuki
If anything happens to her,
then I'll be forced to act.
[04:45] Kuroda
Why hasn't the girl been found yet, anyway?
[04:50] Kuroda
Doesn't make sense.
[04:52] Kuroda
This shouldn't be that difficult.
[04:55] Ibusuki
Well...
[04:58] Ibusuki
So, actually...
[05:18] Odokawa
After aggressively haggling over his fare,
[05:22] Odokawa
that chatty passenger said he was
going to buy lottery tickets
[05:25] Odokawa
so he could buy up some idol group's CDs.
[05:27] Odokawa
I made up a random number on the spot,
[05:30] Odokawa
and he rushed right over to buy a ticket.
[05:33] Odokawa
I was like, "Seriously? You still had money?"
[05:39] Odokawa
Hey, are you listening?
[05:43] Kakihana
Love is both a painful and beautiful thing.
[05:49] Odokawa
Dude, don't. Did something happen to you?
[06:00] Odokawa

She's still only 18.

So far we've only exchanged messages,
but we get along great.

But she's too busy to meet, right?

[07:14] Kuroda
The guy who used to help us out
runs a detective agency now.
[07:19] Dobu
Come to think of it, some youngster
was sniffing around your territory.
[07:26] Kuroda
Was he one of Ibusuki's guys?
[07:30] Dobu
Dunno, but I gave him a beating.
[07:34] Kuroda
I'm telling you, you've gotta
learn to use your head.

[08:27] Rena
Wow.
[08:28] Kabasawa
I bought this car and condo, too.
[08:33] Kabasawa
But now that I have them,
I'm kind of disappointed.
[08:37] Kabasawa
Maybe I spent too much.

Yeah.
[08:54] Kabasawa
Oh, right. Right, of course.
[08:57] Kabasawa
I'm supposed to be a model citizen.
I shouldn't be acting like this.
[09:01] Rena
Since the police are no help at all, we all
have high hopes for you, Kabasawa-sama.
[09:05] Kabasawa
You can count on me.
[09:09] Rena
That's why I'm hoping
you'll get my laptop back.
[09:13] Rena
I've got lots of important data saved on it.
[09:17] Rena
Where does Dobu normally hang out?
[09:54] Dobu
Apparently you picked up
the missing high school girl from Nerima.
[09:57] Odokawa
I handed over my dash cam data
to the police a while ago.
[10:00] Dobu
I have a request.
[10:02] Odokawa
What's that?
[10:04] Dobu
I need you to keep your mouth shut.
[10:06] Odokawa
Daimon already told me
to keep my mouth shut.
[10:08] Dobu
Not just the police. Don't tell anybody.
[10:12] Odokawa
Don't tell anybody? Like who?
[10:14] Dobu
Everybody.
[10:17] Dobu
Tell 'em you lost your dash cam data.
[10:21] Odokawa
So, what do you want help with?
[10:23] Dobu
If anyone shows up looking
for your dash cam data,
[10:27] Dobu
I want you to let me know.
[10:29] Odokawa
And if I refuse?
[10:39] Dobu
I'll kill you.
[10:43] Kabasawa
Let me handle the laptop.
[10:47] Kabasawa
I promise I'll get it back once I catch Dobu.
[10:52] Kabasawa
Anyway, what do you want to do after this?
[10:57] Kabasawa
Wanna come to my place?
[10:58] Rena
You piece of shit.
[10:58] Kabasawa
Huh? What was that?
[10:59] Rena
I don't know...
[11:02] Kabasawa
Sometimes I want to be spoiled by
someone who sees me as Kabasawa Taichi.

[11:16] Kabasawa
Today let's forget about everything
and have fun, Rena-chan.
[11:19] Rena
So, when do you think you'll take down Dobu?
[11:22] Kabasawa
I said let's forget about Dobu today.
[11:26] Rena
Hurry up and become a real hero.
[11:30] Rena
Did you know you're
getting more haters recently?
[11:33] Rena
"Kabasawa isn't a hero.
He's just desperate for recognition."
[11:36] Rena
"He's scared of Dobu. Just a one-hit wonder."
[11:39] Rena
"He's sleeping with his female followers."
[11:41] Rena
Wait, that last one might be true.
[11:43] Rena
I was frustrated that I couldn't
tell them they're wrong.
[11:48] Rena
But after seeing how
you've been acting recently...
[11:50] Kabasawa
Shut up.
[11:54] Rena
What?
[11:55] Kabasawa
You don't know anything about me.
[11:57] Kabasawa
I stirred up a sensation
and put myself in harm's way.
[12:04] Kabasawa
I didn't ask to be deified, okay?
[12:06] Kabasawa
You don't know what the pressure is like.
[12:10] Kabasawa
It's terrifying.
[12:12] Kabasawa
Don't project your fantasies onto me.
[12:15] Kabasawa
You got to dream, too, didn't you?
[12:18] Kabasawa
Who do you have to thank for that, huh?
[12:31] Rena
Crap.
[12:38] Sato
Hello, Rena-san?
[12:39] Rena
Where are you?
[12:41] Rena
And what happened to Taeko-san's
report? It's weirdly dry.
[12:45] Sato
What have you been doing with Kabasawa?
[12:50] Rena
Are you slacking off again?
[12:53] Sato
Dobu was in Odokawa's car.
[12:57] Rena
What? Why?
[12:58] Sato
Not only that, but Dobu demanded Odokawa's
cooperation and threatened to kill him.
[13:03] Rena
Wait, wait. The dash cam caught all of that?
[13:07] Rena
We should call the police.
[13:09] Sato
What are we going to tell the police?
[13:10] Sato
We're filming him without his knowledge.
[13:14] Rena
Hold on. Did you use my computer
without my permission?
[13:18] Sato
But you left it open.
[13:21] Rena
I hope Dobu hits you again.
[13:23] Sato
Gimme a break, here!
[13:25] Sato
Anyway, I'm going to follow Dobu.
[13:28] Rena
What?
[13:29] Sato
I'm going to get my data back
and solve this mystery.
[13:31] Sato
With my photos, we might be able to
find your high school junior.
[13:35] Sato
We'll be able to give the banker's
wife her evidence, too!
[13:37] Rena
How?
[13:39] Sato
I'll steal my laptop
back while he's sleeping.
[13:40] Rena
Are you stupid?
[13:42] Rena
There's no way you'll make it out
unscathed if you go alone.
[13:47] Sato
You told me to handle it myself, though.
[13:50] Rena
That's not what I meant!
[13:52] Sato
Because of you, I'm eating
yakiniku by myself.
[13:55] Rena
Why are you having yakiniku?
[13:57] Sato
Because I'm in the middle of following him.
[13:59] Rena
Please don't make any decisions by yourself.
[14:01] Rena
Don't try to solve anything, either.
[14:04] Rena
Limit yourself to just watching him.
[14:06] Sato
Got it. But you know, I had
more than two choices this time.
[14:10] Sato
I chose from out of at least ten. Bye!

You know what that means, don't you?
[15:42] Sato
Um, there's joy in creating
something with your friends?
[15:50] Sato
Ow, ow, ow!
[15:52] Sato
I don't know.
[15:53] Sato
You need to be direct with me. I'm not
good at reading between the lines.
[15:57] Dobu
Scream all you want.
No one's coming to help you.
[16:00] Dobu
I've got the solvents I need to
dissolve your corpse right here.
[16:04] Dobu
If I bury you, they'll never find anything.
[16:07] Sato
No, wait. I've only lived 24 years.
[16:11] Dobu
You think your life's just
getting started, huh?
[16:15] Sato
I do. I finally got a job recently.
[16:19] Sato
It's boring right now, but
I'm hoping things will pick up.
[16:23] Sato
So for now, I'm being patient
and working really hard.
[16:26] Dobu
Why did you follow me?
[16:29] Sato
It was a coincidence.
[16:32] Dobu
Who put you up to it?
[16:35] Sato
This happens to me all the time.
[16:37] Sato
I run into my teachers from school
when I go traveling.
[16:40] Sato
Really. I'm serious.
[16:42] Dobu
Uh-huh. I've got one question for you.
[16:46] Sato
Okay.
[16:47] Dobu
It's a simple, two-choice question.
[16:50] Sato
Two choices...
[16:57] Dobu
Do you prefer your right finger
or your left finger?
[17:06] Sato
But I've got ten.
[17:07] Phone
I can't answer the phone right now—
[17:13] Phone
I can't answer the phone right now.
Please call again later.
[17:20] Dobu
I see. A background check on Odokawa, huh?
[17:23] Dobu
Then you should be following him.
[17:26] Sato
I happened to see you while watching him
and wondered how you were doing.
[17:34] Dobu
Terribly, obviously.
[17:37] Sato
Right.
[17:37] Dobu
Hold on. What do you mean, you saw me?
[17:43] Sato
Well, uh...
[17:45] Dobu
Oh, the camera. It's the camera
in Odokawa's car, isn't it?
[17:48] Sato
It's called a dash cam.
[17:49] Dobu
I don't give a shit.
[17:52] Dobu
So, how come you can see what's on that?
[18:00] Sato
Ow, ow, ow!
[18:02] Dobu
Don't invoke your duty of
confidentiality when it suits you.
[18:05] Dobu
Are you working with Odokawa, too?
[18:09] Sato
What do you mean, working with him?!
[18:10] Sato
Aren't you working with him?!
[18:12] Dobu
All right, fine. Then you're
gonna help me, too.
[18:17] Sato
What?
[18:24] Dobu
What is this?
[18:25] Sato
Anything but that, please!
[18:28] Dobu
She's your girl, huh?
[18:30] Sato
Oh, well... I'm not sure
what she thinks, but...
[18:36] Sato
Personally, I don't think
it's out of the question...
[18:38] Dobu
She's not gonna go to the cops
if she doesn't hear from you,
[18:41] Dobu
and you don't have a GPS up your ass, right?
[18:45] Sato
Nope, she doesn't care
about me at all. Sadly.
[18:49] Dobu
And yet, her name's in your
contacts without honorifics.
[18:52] Sato
Yes.
[18:55] Dobu
I'm going to tell you everything
I know about Odokawa.
[19:00] Sato
I've already investigated that thoroughly.
[19:05] Dobu
What?
[19:05] Sato
I already know plenty.
[19:09] Dobu
What?
[19:13] Sato
Ow!
[19:16] Sato
What do you want help with?
[19:25] Yamamoto
What is it, Driver?
[19:27] Odokawa
I feel like I've seen her before.
[19:29] Yamamoto
Whatever. Let's get moving.
[19:35] Yamamoto
She keeps her face hidden.
[19:37] Yamamoto
If you recognize her face, you must've
come to her concert before she debuted.
[19:40] Odokawa
Is she a singer or something?
[19:44] Odokawa
That's not it, then.
I've never been to a concert.
[19:48] Yamamoto
Are you okay? Are you tired?
[19:52] Ichimura
Is Nikaido-san coming?
[19:54] Yamamoto
Later.
[19:55] Yamamoto
Did she do something?
[19:59] Ichimura
I can't keep up with her ambition.
[20:05] Yamamoto
You can work at your own pace, Ichimura.
[20:09] Ichimura
She's incredible. I bet she'd
kill someone just to get ahead.
[20:14] Ichimura
She probably already has, honestly.
[20:19] Yamamoto
What are you talking about?
[20:23] Ichimura
Maybe I'm not suited to this job.
[20:29] Yamamoto
Mitsuya's already inside.
[20:32] Ichimura
I don't like her.
I liked things better before.
[20:39] Yamamoto
What are you looking at?
[20:41] Yamamoto
Head towards the Kamimeguro
intersection next.
[20:43] Yamamoto
There's a building nearby.
[20:44] Odokawa
Kamimeguro?
[20:45] Yamamoto
Yeah.
[20:47] Odokawa
I was just thinking about how I once drove
a girl around that other girl's age there.
[20:54] Yamamoto
What? When?
[20:56] Odokawa
About two weeks ago, I think.
She must've been from your agency.
[21:03] Yamamoto
I'm surprised you remember,
but it must've been someone else.
[21:06] Odokawa
She was a young girl taking a pretty
long trip in the middle of the night.
[21:10] Odokawa
Not only that, but she
called herself an idol.
[21:12] Yamamoto
Are you sure it wasn't
the girl we just dropped off?
[21:16] Odokawa
But she's a calico cat.
[21:19] Yamamoto
What does that mean?
[21:23] Yamamoto
You're sure you dropped off
that girl at this office?
[21:25] Odokawa
Yeah.
[21:31] Yamamoto
Listen, Driver.
[21:33] Yamamoto
Does this car have a recording device?
[21:37] Odokawa
Why?
[21:38] Yamamoto
Sometimes you see them in the news.
[21:41] Yamamoto
You know, in stories about robberies.
[21:44] Odokawa
Yeah, I've got one.
[21:48] Yamamoto
Any chance I could get your data?
[21:52] Rena
What? You finally picked up.
[21:56] Rena
Where'd you wander off to?
You weren't answering your phone.
[22:00] Sato
Sorry.
[22:01] Rena
The boss is hiding something.
[22:03] Rena
He was with some shady people yesterday.
[22:05] Sato
I see.
[22:07] Rena
You're awfully low-energy today.
[22:11] Sato
I'm at the hospital right now.
[22:13] Rena
What? Why? Did Dobu do something to you?
[22:16] Sato
Oh, no. Actually, I lost him
while I was tailing him.
[22:19] Rena
Then why?
[22:21] Sato
I fell down the stairs and broke my pinkie.
[22:27] Rena
Liar.
[22:31] Yamamoto
I might've found the taxi
Mitsuya took that day.
[22:35] Sekiguchi
And?
[22:37] Yamamoto
Apparently the driver remembers her.
[22:42] Yamamoto
What should we do?
[22:59] Rena
Where is Yuki now?
SIGN Next Time
[23:01] Rena
Do you think Donraku-san
is hiding something?
[23:03] Sato
We're partners, Rena. Buddies!
[23:05] Rena
Something definitely happened to you.
[23:06] Kuroda
You tell me the truth, got it?
[23:08] Rena
This is where they practice.
[23:10] Kakihana
Shiho-chan, do you actually
want to get married?

SIGN Shofutei Donraku
[00:05] Kumiko
There have always been
shady rumors about him.
[00:09] Kumiko
They're mostly true, too.
[00:13] Kumiko
At first he only asked them for favors
to protect his daughter and me,
[00:18] Kumiko
but the more involved he got
with them, the weirder things got.
[00:23] Rena
Weird how?
[00:26] Kumiko
I'm sure he felt pressured
to do it for his art,
[00:31] Kumiko
but he'd get drunk and wild all the time
and end up hurting regular people.
[00:36] Kumiko
They'd settle matters like that for him.
[00:39] Kumiko
They killed a tabloid article about
him having a child with his mistress.
[00:43] Kumiko
Then there's all the stuff I don't know.
[00:47] Kumiko
For a period of time, he relied
on them for everything.
[00:51] Rena
That's why you and Yuki-san
moved back in with your parents?
[00:54] Kumiko
I was running away. For Yuki's sake, too.
[00:59] Rena
Where is Yuki now?
[01:02] Rena
Have you heard from her since then?
[01:05] Kumiko
Well, Donraku told me not to tell anyone.
[01:12] Rena
Do you think he's hiding something?
[01:15] Kumiko
I don't know.
[01:19] Rena
Could I take a look around Yuki-san's room?
[01:24] Rena
I may be able to find some clues.
[01:33] Kumiko
The police took a bunch of things
when this all started.
[01:36] Kumiko
Nothing's been returned yet.
[01:57] Kumiko
I won't tell Ibusuki-san about this.
[01:59] Kumiko
In exchange, please don't tell
Donraku that I talked to you.
[02:10] Kumiko
That's Yuki's number.
[02:13] Kumiko
If you're her friend, they
might not find you suspicious.
[02:38] Dobu
What? That's all?!
[02:41] Dobu
Are you sure you're a detective?
[02:44] Sato
I'm watching him, just like you told me to.
[02:48] Sato
He hasn't done anything
out of the ordinary yet.
[03:17] Caster
A high school girl has been missing
for roughly ten days.
[03:22] Caster
Since this morning, the MPD
has been speaking to a taxi driver
[03:25] Caster
who may know something about the situation.
[03:28] Caster
The missing person is an 18-year-old high
school girl from Nerima Ward in Tokyo.
[03:30] Otani
It's unsettling, isn't it?
[03:34] Caster
According to the investigation, the high
school girl was last seen ten days ago,
[03:38] Caster
entering a taxi in Nerima Ward
before she went missing...
[03:44] Sato
You think they're talking about Odokawa?
[03:45] Rena
Calm down.
[03:48] Rena
Until recently, you were acting like
you'd done everything you possibly could.
[03:52] Sato
What's with the attitude?
[03:53] Sato
It's not like you weren't furious, too.
[03:58] Rena
Fine. Does that mean you're
okay with helping me?
[04:03] Sato
What are you talking about?
[04:05] Sato
We're partners, Rena. Buddies! Best buds!
[04:08] Rena
There, there. Good boy.
[04:13] Rena
So, Dobu kidnapped a famous
high school girl to ransom her,
[04:18] Rena
colluded with police to hide the evidence,
and stole a taxi driver's dash cam.
[04:25] Rena
The taxi driver got dragged into it
because he knows something,
[04:28] Rena
and now he's being threatened.
[04:31] Sato
Uh, what?
[04:33] Rena
Or else Odokawa and Dobu are actually
working together, and it's the police who—
[04:39] Sato
Can we stop talking about Dobu-san?
[04:41] Rena
Well, that's quite the change in attitude.
[04:46] Rena
Something definitely happened to you.
[04:48] Rena
Nobody falls down the stairs
and breaks just one finger.
[04:55] Otani
Yes?
[04:56] Woman
Um, I'm here about the missing person.
[04:59] Woman
I called the office.
[05:01] Otani
Ah, we've been waiting for you!
[05:03] Otani
Please, come in.
[05:06] Otani
Rena-chan.
[05:06] Rena
Got it!
[05:08] Otani
Right this way.
[05:08] Rena
Thank you for waiting.
SIGN Kobayashi Tome
[05:15] Sato
Why didn't you tell me sooner
that we have a database like this?
[05:18] Rena
I told you just now.
[05:20] Rena
We have access to it
through the boss' old job.
[05:23] Sato
Huh.
[05:25] Rena
The major offices have their own,
but we have to use whatever we can.
[05:31] Sato
There she is. Kobayashi Tome, 84 years old.
[05:36] Sato
She lives right by the client.
[05:39] Rena
You're right.
[05:41] Rena
It's always hardest to see
what's right under your nose.
[05:44] Rena
I hope we can find everyone this easily.
[05:47] Sato
And we get paid to do this? Easy money.
[05:50] Sato
I wish class reunions were
the only thing we worked on.
[05:53] Rena
You want me to end your
training period right now?
[05:56] Rena
Finding people is a real job, okay?
[06:00] Sato
Can I see something?
[06:07] Rena
There's a lot of people
you won't find in there.
SIGN Mitsuya
[06:09] Sato
What's her name? Mitsuya something.
[06:12] Rena
Yuki. Only other people show up
when you search for her.
[06:19] Sato
Come to think of it,
did she answer her phone?
[06:21] Rena
Nope. I've just been getting voicemail.
[06:28] Sato
Oh, you're right. Mitsuya Yuki.
[06:30] Sato
81 years old, 51 years old...
[06:36] Rena
Huh? It's ringing.
[06:38] Sato
I knew it. I thought now would be—
[06:44] Rena
Yuki?
[06:49] Rena
Who is this?
[06:52] Sekido
This information will cost you.
[06:54] Sekido
It took a lot of time to restore it, too.
[06:56] Rena
The contents?
[06:57] Sekido
It's all on here.
[06:59] Sekido
If I were you, I wouldn't
go snooping through phones.
[07:03] Rena
Can you show me who Yuki called
the day she went missing?
[07:06] Sekido
Of course.
SIGN Nikaido Rui
[07:14] Sato
She got a bunch of calls
from the same person.
[07:18] Rena
In the middle of the night, too. Who is she?
[07:21] Sato
Oh! She's an idol from that website
we looked at the other day.
[07:25] Sato
What were they called?
[07:26] Rena
Mystery Kiss?
[07:27] Sato
Yeah.
[07:28] Rena
Hey, this is that girl
you got really excited about.
[07:30] Sato
Nikaido Rui.
[07:32] Sato
First of all, tell me how right I was.
[07:34] Rena
What? Does that mean their member
Mitsuya Yuki is our Yuki?
[07:37] Sato
But you met her, right? And it wasn't her.
[07:41] Rena
Something's fishy.
[07:43] Sekido
It's been a while since this
phone's owner went missing, right?
[07:46] Sato
Yeah, which means there's no way she's okay.
[07:50] Sekido
Hey! Pay up.
[08:00] Yano
C'mon. You gotta trust me.
[08:05] Kuroda
Fine. I'm sorry for doubting you.
[08:09] Kuroda
But you tell me the truth, got it?
[08:11] Yano
I'm telling you, I don't know.
[08:15] Kuroda
I've never said a word about your business.
[08:20] Kuroda
If something happened,
"I don't know" isn't gonna cut it.
[08:25] Yano
My own guys are looking everywhere for
that girl right now, but we can't find her.
[08:31] Yano
She's about to debut, y'know?
We ain't happy about this, either.
[08:38] Yano
Why are you suddenly so
interested in her, anyway?
[08:42] Kuroda
Little girl idol groups aren't for us.
[08:46] Kuroda
We shouldn't be involved in business
that's likely to cause trouble.
[08:52] Kuroda
I'm worried about her because
she's my friend's daughter.
[09:03] Sekiguchi
Boss, um, about the girl—
[09:07] Kuroda
Sekiguchi, did I ask you a question?
[09:15] Kuroda
Yano, even if you're not involved, try doing
anything that makes you look suspicious.
[09:24] Kuroda
You'll be tripped up by the cops
and other groups.
[09:32] Yano
I know. I'll be careful.
[09:40] Kuroda
Meanwhile, Dobu still thinks
he can rely on brawn
[09:43] Kuroda
and is talking about some crackpot
job that'll make him a billion yen.
[09:47] Kuroda
We used to do so well back then.
[09:51] Kuroda
What happened to us?
[09:55] Yano
A billion?
[09:59] Yano
Be careful what you say
about other people's work, boss.
[10:05] Rena
Why are you suddenly so
interested in Odokawa?
[10:08] Sato
We can't rule it out as a possibility.
[10:11] Rena
But there's no evidence of that.
It's a false accusation.
[10:15] Rena
We don't even know if it's Odokawa
the police are questioning.
[10:20] Sato
So, where are we going?
[10:21] Rena
Here. This is where they practice.
[10:25] Sato
Seriously? This stinks of overtime.
[10:28] Rena
You said you'd help me.
[10:32] Kanon
Sorry! Thanks for waiting!
[10:35] Sato
Ready for overtime.
[10:37] Kanon
Nice to meet you. I'm Kanon.
[10:38] Sato
I'm Sato.
[10:39] Kanon
Hello.
[10:40] Sato
Nice to meet you.
[10:41] Kanon
You, too.
[10:42] Kanon
What?
[10:42] Sato
I'm Sato. Nice to meet you.
[10:45] Rena
Quit it.
[10:46] Sato
Cool, huh?
[10:48] Kanon
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
[10:50] Sato
Try touching it.
[10:52] Kanon
Why?
[10:52] Sato
It's hard.
[10:55] Kanon
You're right. It's so hard.
[10:56] Sato
I wrapped it myself.
[10:58] Kanon
Uh-huh.
[11:02] Sato
Rena-san, how'd you figure this out?
[11:06] Rena
I just looked for someplace a small
agency's three-woman idol group
[11:09] Rena
could practice together.
[11:11] Sato
Uh-huh.
[11:12] Rena
They haven't made their mainstream
debut yet, so privacy isn't that important.
[11:18] Rena
Also, they probably still need
to come up with choreography
[11:21] Rena
and will need to use the space frequently,
[11:24] Rena
so it has to offer either discounts
or reasonable prices.
[11:27] Rena
Also, it should be either along their
agency's transit line, or easy to reach by taxi.
[11:31] Sato
You're totally a detective.
[11:32] Kanon
Totally a detective.
[11:35] Kanon
Ew, no.
[11:38] Dance Instructor
Good work, everyone.
[11:40] All
Thank you.
[11:42] Dance Instructor
When are we meeting next week?
[11:45] Rena
Can you see them?
[11:46] Kanon
Yeah, totally.
[11:47] Sato
The other two are surprisingly cute, too.
[11:47] Rena
You're on Shimura. I've got Mitsuya.
You're on Nikaido.
[11:50] Dance Instructor
You'll make your train, right?
[11:51] Mystery Kiss
Yes.
[11:52] Dance Instructor
Okay, good night.
[11:53] Kanon
They're leaving, right?
[11:53] Rena
Yeah, let's go.
[11:55] Rena
I'm counting on you.
[11:56] Sato
Roger that.
[12:08] Wadagaki

[12:42] Rena
What?
[12:42] Employee
If you could fill in this form—
[12:43] Rena
Oh, I'm good. Sorry.
[12:44] Rena
I'm good. Excuse me.
[12:51] Waiter
Are you meeting someone?
[12:52] Rena
Yes.
[13:01] Rena
Sorry.
[13:02] Kanon
It's fine. I wasn't expecting
to get to eat at a place like this.
[13:06] Rena
So, how's it look?
[13:07] Kanon
Like I said, that's her sugar daddy.
[13:10] Kanon
Look at how unenthusiastic she is.
[13:17] Kakihana
Excuse me.
[13:23] Kakihana
Could I get another glass, please?
[13:25] Waiter
Yes, sir.
[13:33] Kakihana
So, uh, I got you something.
I hope you like it.
[13:39] Ichimura
Huh. Thanks.
[13:46] Kakihana
Shiho-chan, when are you the happiest?
[13:52] Ichimura
When I'm in the bath.
[13:54] Ichimura
Is the bath at your house
as amazing as I think it is?
[13:57] Ichimura
Can you stretch your legs out?
[13:59] Kakihana
Huh? Uh, yeah.
[14:01] Kakihana
Its got jets and stuff. Of course it does.
[14:02] Ichimura
Really?
[14:03] Ichimura
Can you watch TV from the bath, too?
[14:04] Kakihana
Of course.
[14:07] Ichimura
Does the water come out of a lion's head?
[14:09] Kakihana
A lion?
[14:11] Rena
Shiho. So that's Ichimura Shiho.
[14:15] Rena
I can't figure out what she's after.
[14:18] Kanon
Just money, right?
[14:21] Rena
But isn't it risky for an idol
to use her real name?
[14:25] Kanon
I'm sure they've all got side gigs.
[14:27] Kanon
I bet only a handful of girls
make enough just off performing.
[14:30] Kanon
Some girls who play in bands
at my place also work as entertainers.
[14:34] Rena
She could at least use a fake name.
[14:37] Kanon
Are they making her do it on purpose?
[14:40] Rena
To create something to blackmail her with.
[14:43] Rena
The question is, who's making her do it?
[14:45] Kanon
Is it a man?
[14:47] Rena
Or her agency.
[14:49] Kanon
Her agency?
[14:58] Kakihana
Shiho-chan, do you actually
want to get married?
[15:02] Ichimura
Yeah. It's always been
my dream to get married.
[15:06] Ichimura
I think the sooner I can, the better.
[15:09] Ichimura
Being surprised with an
engagement ring would be amazing.
[15:13] Kakihana
A ring.
[15:14] Ichimura
Yeah.
[15:17] Kakihana
In that case, would you—
[15:21] Ichimura
Hey, look at this.
[15:23] Ichimura
It says he won one billion yen.
Do you think it's true?
[15:27] Kakihana
One billion yen, huh? Wow.
[15:29] Kakihana
Not even I have that much.
[15:34] Ichimura
He's a Nikaido Rui fan, huh?
[15:58] Clerk
Are you getting married or engaged?
[16:01] Kakihana
Actually, uh...
[16:05] Clerk
Would you like to see the back?
[16:15] Sato
Taeko-san wants to see you, Rena-san.
[16:18] Rena
How much have you been drinking on your own?
[16:21] Sato
You just don't understand
how I feel, Rena-san.
[16:25] Rena
Sorry I'm not more considerate.
[16:30] Sato
I feel sick.
[16:46] Otani
Here.
[16:56] Otani
Pull yourself together.
[17:06] Rena
Why is Ichimura Shiho
meeting Odokawa's friend?
[17:12] Sato
Kakihana-san? He was there yesterday, too.
[17:17] Rena
And?
[17:19] Sato
So he was there yesterday.
He's a regular there.
[17:23] Sato
He was complaining about
how expensive rings are.
[17:27] Rena
That's it? Why do you
even bother going there?
[17:32] Sato
Then share more of your information with—
[17:36] Sato
Ow!
[17:37] Ibusuki
I'll be back.
[17:38] Both
See you later.
[17:39] Sato
See you later!
[17:40] Rena
Hey, why do you think an active
idol would have a sugar daddy?
[17:45] Sato
Is it possible that she needs the money?
[17:50] Rena
Kanon said the same thing. It's possible...
[17:57] Rena
But that Ichimura girl
seemed unhappy to be there.
[18:00] Rena
Someone must be making her do it.
[18:03] Rena
I definitely don't think
Yuki would allow it to happen.
[18:07] Sato
So Mitsuya Yuki found out about it
and was killed when she tried to quit?
[18:16] Rena
Killed? Don't say stuff like that.
[18:19] Sato
Sorry.
[18:21] Rena
It could be that she just wanted to
be alone and left the country.
[18:24] Sato
Has she always been that kind of person?
[18:27] Rena
Or else someone is keeping her quiet,
or she's being held captive somewhere.
[18:31] Sato
No way. A lot of time has passed
already. That can't be...
[18:38] Sato
She's alive. She's definitely alive.
[18:44] Kakihana
Wanna stop by Taeko's place tonight?
[18:46] Odokawa
Nah. I'm working tonight.
[18:57] Odokawa
Hey, don't.
[18:59] Kakihana
Why not? Taeko said she
misses seeing your face.
[19:06] Odokawa
Are you listening, Kakihana?
SIGN I had fun the other day! Good luck at work
[19:09] Odokawa
Hey.
[19:16] Kakihana
Hey, good to see you again.
[19:17] Loan Shark B
How're you doing?
[19:19] Kakihana
Yeah, great.
[19:20] Loan Shark A
Hey.
[19:20] Kakihana
Good to see you.
[19:21] Loan Shark A
Is 50 enough?
[19:22] Kakihana
Yup.
[19:23] Loan Shark A
You good?
[19:35] Yamamoto
It's cold tonight.
[19:40] Sekiguchi
My wallet's feeling a bit drafty, too.
[19:43] Sekiguchi
Give 'em a kick in the ass.
[19:46] Yamamoto
My girls are working hard, you know.
[19:51] Yamamoto
Why can't I win the lottery or something?
[19:58] Yamamoto
Just kidding.
[20:01] Sekiguchi
What?
[20:03] Yamamoto
Haven't you heard?
[20:06] Yamamoto
Everyone's talking about it online.
[20:08] Sekiguchi
I don't know what you're talking about.
[20:09] Yamamoto
Apparently one of our oldest fans
won a billion yen in the lottery.
[20:16] Sekiguchi
Tell me more about that.
[20:20] Sato
I think I'm going crazy
from looking at too many cats.
[20:23] Rena
Enough. These definitely
aren't the right cat.
[20:25] Sato
But I think I'm starting to see it.
[20:27] Ibusuki
Rena, you got a second?
[20:28] Otani
Good morning.
[20:29] Sato
Morning!
[20:32] Rena
What is it?
[20:34] Ibusuki
Did you think I wouldn't notice?
[20:38] Rena
What are you talking about?
[20:41] Ibusuki
You'll never survive unless you
work on your shadowing skills.
[20:47] Ibusuki
I understand how you feel after all
you've seen over the past few days.
[20:53] Ibusuki
Why don't you take a little vacation?
[20:57] Rena
Why?
[20:58] Ibusuki
If you don't, I'm firing you.
[21:03] Rena
Is that your decision, boss?
[21:05] Ibusuki
Yes.
[21:09] Rena
Then I quit.
[21:11] Sato
What?
[21:12] Rena
Sato and I are quitting.
[21:13] Ibusuki
Not Sato.
[21:14] Sato
What?
[21:16] Rena
Fine.
[21:19] Rena
As of today, I no longer work for you.
[21:25] Rena
You have nothing to do
with my future investigations.
[21:29] Rena
But until I find my footing,
[21:33] Rena
I'm going to keep using my desk,
computer, and other equipment.
[21:39] Rena
I'll pay whatever it costs.
[21:41] Sato
What do you mean? I don't understand.
[21:42] Ibusuki
Fine.
[21:43] Sato
Well, you understood.
[21:45] Ibusuki
You can do whatever you want,
but in exchange, I can't protect you.
[21:50] Ibusuki
You got that?
[21:53] Rena
Yes.
[21:56] Kanon
He's actually real.
[21:58] Kanon
So, this is Imai-kun's place?
[22:00] Rena
Yeah.
[22:01] Kanon
Detectives are amazing.
They know everything.
[22:03] Rena
More like he made everything public,
including the fact that he won a billion yen.
[22:08] Rena
He might just be an idiot.
[22:10] Kanon
Okay, let's check it out.
[22:13] Kanon
What are we trying to find out about Imai?
[22:16] Rena
I thought he might know
something about Yuki.
[22:18] Rena
He's one of Mystery Kiss' oldest fans.
[22:21] Rena
Also, the driver I was investigating
frequently looks for passengers around here,
[22:25] Rena
so he's probably given him a ride.
[22:30] Kanon
Here?
[22:31] Rena
Is this it?
[22:35] Barker A
What's this? You two are really cute.
[22:37] Barker A
You interested in our place?
[22:39] Kanon
A little, I guess?
[22:40] Barker B
Oh, I know. You need money, don't you?
[22:43] Kanon
Is there an Imai-san here?
[22:45] Barker A
Yeah. He's working today.
[22:47] Barker A
You wanna see him?
[22:48] Kanon
Can we?
[22:50] Barker A
Show them inside.
[22:53] Barker B
Watch your step.
[22:54] Kanon
Okay.
SIGN Next Time
[22:59] Sato
What did Mitsuya-san learn that day?
[23:02] Imai
I won one billion yen!
[23:04] Rena
My only clues are the calls from Nikaido.
[23:06] Ibusuki
Every encounter and parting
of ways is inevitable.
[23:09] Imai
I'm a huge Rui-tan fan.
SIGN This show is a work of fiction.

What are you doing?
Is this your first day or something?
[00:11] Rena
Sorry. I'm new here.
[00:12] Imai
Sorry. Excuse me.
[00:16] Boy
Rena-san. Rena-san.
[00:16] Shibagaki
We're out of damp towels. Are you all right?
[00:18] Customer
Whoa, whoa. Are you okay?
[00:19] Shibagaki
You're soaking wet.
[00:20] Rena
Sorry. Excuse me.
[00:22] Guest
Hey, wait.
[00:26] Imai
That guy's a regular,
but he loves new people.
[00:30] Kanon
Rena, are you okay?
[00:32] Rena
I'm totally fine. I'm just
struggling to get used to it.
[00:35] Imai
You can take it one step
at a time. Take it slow.
[00:38] Imai
The cast are our treasure. Our idols.
[00:42] Kanon
Oh, right. Apparently Imai-san is
a hardcore idol fan, despite how he seems.
[00:45] Kanon
The other day, he even went to a photo event.
[00:47] Rena
Wow, you must really love Mystery Kiss.
[00:51] Imai
Well, yeah. Actually...
[00:55] Imai
I'm a huge Rui-tan fan.
[00:58] Kanon
Wow.
[00:59] Imai
I've been a fan longer than anyone else.
[01:01] Rena
Really?
[01:01] Boy
Rena-san. Rena-san.
Someone's asking for you.
[01:04] Rena
What?
[01:04] Imai
Already, huh? You gotta get more fans.
[01:07] Rena
Okay.
[01:09] Kanon
You've got this.
[01:10] Rena
I'll do my best.
[01:11] Imai
Go get 'em.
[01:19] Rena
What?
[01:28] Rena
I'm not cut out for this.
[01:30] Sato
If you know that, then
what are you doing there?
[01:34] Rena
Why? I got a job right away.
[01:37] Sato
I thought you were looking for your junior.
[01:39] Rena
I am. A huge Mystery Kiss fan works there.
[01:41] Rena
I thought I could get some
information out of him.
[01:44] Rena
Besides, I have to pay all my own expenses.
[01:47] Sato
I guess so.
[01:49] Rena
If you don't like it, then stop helping me.
[01:52] Rena
But if you do, then leave me alone.
[01:54] Sato
Why would you say something
so extreme and sad?
[01:57] Rena
Because the police, the yakuza, our boss,
[02:00] Rena
and a big-name entertainer
are involved in this mess.
[02:03] Rena
What do you expect?
[02:07] Sato
Are you worried about my safety?
[02:09] Rena
If you're not careful, you could end up dead.
[02:12] Rena
It's not even your job anymore.
[02:14] Sato
It's not like I can quit now, either.
[02:17] Sato
Anyway, I can't believe
he fired you out of nowhere.
[02:20] Rena
The boss is probably in a tight spot, too.
[02:23] Rena
That's why he set me free.
[02:27] Rena
Anyway, are you doing okay at work?
[02:29] Sato
I'm fine for now.
[02:32] Sato
Actually, I just blew half
my first paycheck on that.
[02:36] Sato
That place is way too expensive.
[02:37] Rena
Then you can pay me the other half directly.
[02:40] Rena
I'll go get you a refill.
[02:43] Sato
Hey, wait.
[02:47] Sato
Anyway, I tried coming up with a theory.
[02:49] Rena
You don't need to try so hard
to act like a detective.
[02:51] Sato
Just listen.
[02:52] Sato
On October 4th, the day
Mitsuya-san went missing,
[02:56] Sato
she definitely got into Odokawa's taxi.
[03:00] Sato
That taxi headed to Harada Building 3.
[03:04] Rena
So you still only know where
she was until the convenience store—
[03:06] Sato
Anyway, Mystery Kiss' agency
is inside that building.
[03:10] Sato
The building is currently
owned by the yakuza.
[03:15] Sato
Based on these facts, I think
these three groups are suspicious.
[03:21] Rena
The question is, which of them found
Yuki's existence a nuisance, and why.
[03:27] Sato
Yes. What did Mitsuya-san witness
and learn that day?
[03:34] Rena
If we still haven't found
any evidence, that means
[03:37] Rena
we're not dealing with a crime of passion
or repeat offender, but a premeditated crime.
[03:42] Rena
Someone with a grudge against
Yuki herself or Donraku-san,
[03:46] Rena
or someone involved with the criminal
organization the boss met with.
[03:49] Sato
You think it's Odokawa?
[03:51] Rena
What? Have you been listening?
That doesn't make sense.
[03:54] Rena
I think we can limit ourselves to either
the agency or the criminal organization.
[03:57] Sato
We should look into Odokawa more.
[04:02] Rena
Sounds like you want it to be Odokawa.
[04:06] Rena
Are you sure Dobu didn't do anything to you?
[04:09] Sato
No? I mean, Odokawa's suspicious, right?
[04:22] Sato
Why did Rena-san join this agency?
[04:26] Ibusuki
Oh, you haven't heard?
[04:30] Sato
Well, she doesn't talk about herself much.
[04:35] Ibusuki
Despite how she seems,
she's actually been through a lot.
[04:37] Ibusuki
She's probably reluctant to open up about it.
[04:40] Sato
True.
[04:42] Sato
She's quick-witted. I bet she
studied really hard in school.
[04:47] Sato
She must've been way above average.
[04:49] Ibusuki
She dropped out of high school.
[04:52] Sato
What? Why?
[04:54] Ibusuki
Ask her yourself.
[04:57] Sato
Oh, come on. Don't tease me
with partial information.
[05:02] Ibusuki
Oh, right. You wanna try
getting someone together?
[05:06] Sato
What does that mean?
[05:08] Ibusuki
You really don't listen, do you?
[05:12] Ibusuki
I told you about it when you started.
[05:15] Ibusuki
I'm talking about romantic engineering.
[05:18] Ibusuki
Getting people to meet
or couples back together.
[05:20] Ibusuki
Making couples break up, reuniting them.
[05:22] Ibusuki
All as if it's a coincidence.
[05:24] Sato
Romantic engineering?
That's something we do?
[05:28] Ibusuki
A long time ago, I once helped a big name
entertainer get together with someone.
[05:35] Sato
That's kind of scary, like you're
manipulating people's lives.
[05:39] Ibusuki
In our world, every encounter
and parting of ways is inevitable.
[05:45] Ibusuki
Someone might be controlling you, too.
[05:56] Ibusuki
Come on. Let's go.
[05:58] Sato
You almost had me for a second there.
[06:04] Cabaret Woman
Imai-san, good morning!
[06:05] Imai
Good morning.
[06:06] Cabaret Woman
You're looking handsome again today!
[06:07] Imai
Thanks. You're looking cute, too!
[06:09] Imai
Let's do this, huh? Let's do this.
[06:15] Imai
Hello.
[06:17] Both
Hello.
[06:18] Imai
So, how was your trial
employment experience?
[06:21] Imai
Feel like continuing to work here?
[06:23] Imai
Honestly, it's not often that we get
people who could start right away.
[06:27] Imai
Personally, I think it'd be
great if you could stay.
[06:30] Kanon
Maybe if you told us about
the billion yen you won.
[06:35] Imai
What? Kanon-chan, how
do you know about that?
[06:38] Cabaret Woman
Imai-san.
[06:38] Kanon
Everyone knows.
[06:40] Cabaret Woman
Imai-san, I'm looking forward
to another day with you.
[06:41] Imai
Same.
[06:44] Rena
Don't you think it was risky
to post about it online?
[06:47] Rena
People figured out where you work.
[06:50] Imai
Is that why everyone's
been so nice to me recently?!
[06:55] Imai
Wait, is that why you guys
started working here? For the cash?
[06:59] Rena
What are you going to spend the money on?
[07:01] Imai
I'm going to invest all of it
into Mystery Kiss.
[07:04] Kanon
What? All of it?!
[07:06] Imai
I wonder if Rui-tan saw
my post. It went viral.
[07:10] Imai
One of the other members
liked my post. Ichi-something...
[07:13] Rena
Ichimura?
[07:14] Imai
Yeah. I just want Rui-tan to notice me.
[07:17] Imai
I'm just a regular guy,
[07:19] Imai
but I thought I finally had
a chance to get her attention.
[07:21] Boy
Morning, Imai-san.
Looking forward to another day.
[07:23] Imai
Same.
[07:24] Kanon
Why did you win?
[07:26] Imai
Why? Is there a reason other than luck?
[07:29] Kanon
Wow!
[07:31] Imai
You're meant for the entertainment business.
[07:34] Imai
But maybe it wasn't just luck.
[07:37] Imai
The driver of the taxi
I happened to get in that day—
[07:40] Rena
Don't you want to see the person
who made you lucky?
[07:44] Imai
Hold on.
[07:46] Imai
You're scaring me, Rena-chan.
How do you know how to find him?
[07:48] Kanon
This girl is amazing. She's a detective.
And we're childhood friends.
[07:52] Kanon
She left the boonies in Saitama
and went right to being a detective.
[07:54] Rena
Kanon, careful what you say.
[07:56] Kanon
What's the problem? Imai-kun
doesn't seem like a bad guy.
[07:59] Imai
Imai-kun, you say?
[08:01] Imai
Wait, hold on. A detective?
[08:03] Imai
Are you investigating me?
[08:04] Rena
Oh, no. But I do know about that taxi driver.
[08:08] Rena
His name is Odokawa.
[08:10] Imai
I've been wanting to thank him,
[08:12] Imai
but I took that taxi on a whim,
so I'd given up on the idea.
[08:15] Rena
I know how you can see him.
[08:16] Rena
But in exchange, could you
tell me about Mystery Kiss?
[08:20] Imai
Of course! Ask me anything.
[08:23] Imai
So, how can I see that Odokawa-san again?
[08:43] Sato
Rena-san, hello.
[08:45] Rena
Sato, can you check the computer for me?
[08:47] Sato
Yes.
[08:48] Rena
Where is Odokawa's taxi now?
[08:52] Sato
Around this time, he's either driving
around the intersection at 3-chome
[08:58] Sato
or waiting for passengers
around the Sansan Building.
[09:02] Sato
Oh, yup. He's in front of the Sansan Building.
[09:04] Rena
Got it.
[09:05] Sato
Wait. Where are you right now, Rena-san?
[09:09] Sato
Hello? Huh?
[09:11] Kanon
Apparently Imai-kun has been watching
Mystery Kiss since their first concert.
[09:15] Imai
Yeah. It's fate. I just happened
to attend their concert.
[09:19] Imai
I think it was a year ago.
[09:21] Imai
Rui-tan was already
on another level back then.
[09:25] Rena
Huh.
[09:25] Imai
There were five of us
in the audience, and Rui-tan...
[09:28] Rena
So, what was Mitsuya Yuki like?
[09:31] Imai
She was especially good at dancing.
[09:33] Imai
She seemed athletic.
[09:35] Imai
Rui-tan's good at dancing,
and she's a good singer, too—
[09:38] Rena
Do you have any video or
photos of her from back then?
[09:43] Kanon
Oh, I wanna see!
[09:44] Imai
I sure do.
[09:46] Imai
She's so cute!
[09:46] Kanon
Cute!
[09:48] Rena
Yeah, super cute.
[09:49] Imai
Look at this one. Ah, she's so cute!
[09:52] Rena
Next, next, next.
[09:53] Imai
This one is so cute.
[09:53] Kanon
Hey, you take too many pictures!
[09:55] Rena
Where's Mitsuya Yuki?
[09:56] Imai
Oh, I've only ever taken
Polaroids with Rui-tan.
[10:01] Rena
Do you know any Mitsuya Yuki fans?
[10:04] Imai
I'm clearly the only one who's
been following them forever,
[10:08] Imai
and they only recently started
getting media attention
[10:11] Imai
because they're making their major debut.
[10:13] Imai
I doubt there's any photos of her.
[10:15] Rena
Is that even possible?
[10:17] Rena
There must at least be selfies or something.
[10:19] Imai
Oh, right. Come to think of it,
they did a stream.
[10:23] Imai
The members chatted
and answered fan questions.
[10:26] Imai
Starting around 9 PM, Rui-tan—
[10:28] Rena
Then has Mitsuya Yuki been
acting strange recently?
[10:32] Imai
I have no idea.
[10:36] Imai
Aside from Rui-tan, I feel like their
dancing's not as good as it used to be.
[10:40] Imai
I mean, I can see why
they'd feel discouraged.
[10:42] Imai
They have to wear masks
when they're finally debuting.
[10:44] Kanon
Right?
[10:45] Rena
Is it possible Mitsuya Yuki
was replaced at some point?
[10:49] Imai
Honestly, I really only
pay attention to Rui-tan.
[10:53] Kanon
Too much attention.
[10:55] Imai
Oh, right. There's
an open audition coming up.
[10:58] Imai
Mystery Kiss will be attending as guests.
[11:00] Kanon
Really? We should audition.
[11:02] Rena
Why would we do that?
[11:04] Kanon
It's kind of frustrating, don't you think?
I'm definitely cuter than them.
[11:08] Imai
I'd support you. You'd
totally make it to the final.
[11:11] Kanon
Right?
[11:12] Imai
Yeah.
[11:26] Imai
You're really here.
[11:29] Odokawa
Hey, you're the idol fan.
[11:32] Imai
Mystery Kiss.
[11:33] Imai
You remember me?!
[11:35] Imai
More importantly,
I'm glad I got to see you again.
[11:38] Odokawa
Why?
[11:40] Imai
I wanted to thank you.
[11:41] Odokawa
What did I do?
[11:43] Imai
I actually won the lottery using
those numbers you gave me.
[11:50] Odokawa
Really? That's amazing.
[11:52] Imai
That's not much of a reaction!
[11:54] Odokawa
I mean, I picked those numbers at random.
[11:56] Imai
You just haven't heard how much I won.
[11:58] Imai
I won one billion yen!
[12:02] Odokawa
Really?
[12:03] Imai
Really!
[12:05] Imai
I haven't claimed my winnings yet,
[12:07] Imai
but I've checked it about a hundred times.
[12:09] Odokawa
If that's true, you shouldn't
be spreading that around.
[12:11] Imai
It's my first time telling
someone in real life.
[12:14] Imai
I had to tell you.
[12:17] Odokawa
What do you mean, in real life?
[12:18] Imai
I told people online, but that's online.
[12:22] Imai
I had to tell someone.
[12:24] Odokawa
Now you can buy Mystery Kiss CDs.
[12:27] Imai
That's right. I've been keeping
my winning ticket on me
[12:32] Imai
so I can claim my winnings right
when their CD comes out.
[12:35] Odokawa
You'd better not lose that.
[12:37] Imai
Anyway, Odokawa-sama,
I wanted to thank you.
[12:41] Odokawa
You don't need to do that.
[12:42] Imai
No, no way! I've gotta do something!
[12:44] Imai
Isn't there anything you need money for?
[12:46] Odokawa
Not particularly.
[12:48] Imai
Then, maybe your family or someone
you care about is in trouble?
[12:54] Odokawa
Nope.
[12:55] Imai
Do you just not feel desire?!
[12:57] Imai
In that case, Odokawa-sama,
are you free right now?
[13:01] Odokawa
As you can see, I'm right
in the middle of work.
[13:03] Imai
I'll pay you whatever you'd make today.
[13:06] Imai
Come with me.
[13:09] Kanon
Nice to meet you.
[13:11] Imai
This is VIP Odokawa-sama.
[13:13] Imai
Everything is already paid for,
so order whatever you'd like.
[13:16] Rena
Really? Wow.
[13:18] Kanon
So cool!
[13:20] Rena
Odokawa-san, what would you like to drink?
[13:23] Odokawa
Actually, I've got to drive...
[13:25] Kanon
Is it okay if we drink?
[13:28] Odokawa
Uh...
[13:31] Odokawa
Sure, go ahead.
[13:32] Kanon
All right! Can we get
something bubbly, then?
[13:38] Odokawa
Yeah, sure.
[13:39] Kanon
Yay!
[13:43] Kanon
Have you ever driven any famous people?
[13:47] Odokawa
That's personal information.
I can't share that.
[13:51] Kanon
Aw, you're no fun.
[13:54] Rena
What about girls our age?
Do you drive them a lot?
[13:59] Odokawa
No, rarely.
[14:01] Odokawa
I do frequently get requests for pick ups
and drop offs in this area, though.
[14:05] Rena
Do you remember all your passengers?
[14:08] Odokawa
I can't tell them apart.
Girls your age all look the same to me.
[14:14] Kanon
What? But we're totally different.
[14:19] Rena
What?
[14:20] Odokawa
I've never given you a ride, have I?
[14:22] Rena
Ah, well, I work nights around here.
[14:24] Rena
I might've gotten a ride
with you before. Why?
[14:29] Odokawa
Rabbits aren't uncommon,
but you're a Polish rabbit.
[14:33] Kanon
What are you talking about, Odo-chan?
[14:36] Kanon
Are you the type of guy who
uses avant-garde pickup lines?
[14:39] Odokawa
No, sorry. I don't belong here.
[14:44] Rena
What about this girl?
[14:46] Odokawa
A black cat.
[14:47] Rena
What? No, I mean, have you
given her a ride before?
[14:53] Odokawa
You, too?
[14:54] Rena
She's my friend.
[14:59] Rena
Sorry to ask out of nowhere.
[15:03] Odokawa
No. I gave a black cat a ride,
but it wasn't her.
[15:13] Kanon
So, uh, why don't we have a toast?
[15:19] Ibusuki
If you've got something to say, then say it.
[15:23] Sato
I looked into Rena-san's background.
[15:27] Sato
She's in the company's database.
[15:29] Ibusuki
Hey, don't use that for personal matters.
[15:32] Sato
I thoughtlessly looked out of pure
curiosity, and now I regret it.
[15:38] Ibusuki
That database gets used
for all kinds of credit checks.
[15:44] Ibusuki
People with criminal records,
people who have caused accidents.
[15:48] Ibusuki
Anyone who's experienced
twists and turns in life.
[15:51] Ibusuki
Those kinds of people
are more likely to end up on it.
[15:56] Sato
Her parents died when she was young.
[16:00] Ibusuki
She went through a lot as a kid.
[16:04] Ibusuki
I wouldn't call it the silver lining,
but she was too young to remember.
[16:10] Ibusuki
She grew up in orphanages after that.
[16:14] Sato
Is that why she became a detective?
[16:17] Ibusuki
No, she was just looking
for someplace to work.
[16:22] Ibusuki
Someone introduced her to me.
[16:24] Ibusuki
Don't worry. I'm also happy to hire people
like you who casually get into the business.
[16:29] Sato
Is that right?
[16:32] Sato
Since starting this job, I've learned
the world can be pretty unfair.
[16:37] Ibusuki
Rena said the same thing.
[16:40] Ibusuki
She said that made her glad
she became a private eye.
[16:43] Ibusuki
Despite how she seems,
she's got a strong sense of justice.
[16:45] Sato
That's exactly how she seems.
[16:51] Man A
Kakihana-san.
[16:52] Man B
We know you're in there, Kakihana-san.
[16:55] Man A
Hey, Kakihana. You need to
pay back what you borrowed.
[16:57] Man A
Didn't your parents teach you that?!
[17:01] Man B
He's not here.
[17:03] Man A
Let's go.
SIGN Sorry, I know you're busy with work.
SIGN Sorry, I know you're busy with work.
SIGN I'll wait forever, so don't
strain yourself.
SIGN I'll wait forever, so don't
strain yourself.
[17:27] Kakihana
Sorry, I just finished. Where are you?
[17:32] Kakihana
Yeah.
[17:51] Sekiguchi
What the hell did you do to our girl?
[17:56] Kakihana
No, wait. This is a misunderstanding.
[17:59] Kakihana
I promise I'll pay off my debt soon.
[18:01] Sekiguchi
Debt? Misunderstanding?
What are you talking about?
[18:06] Sekiguchi
Did you think you could screw around
with her and get away with it?
[18:09] Kakihana
You've got it all wrong.
[18:10] Kakihana
Shiho-chan and I have
a serious platonic relationship.
[18:15] Sekiguchi
She's a girl with a future.
[18:18] Sekiguchi
I think you owe us compensation for damages.
[18:22] Sekiguchi
You make twenty million a year, don't you?
[18:25] Kakihana
N-No, I boosted my numbers a bit.
[18:29] Sekiguchi
Don't lie to me.
[18:31] Sekiguchi
That's a pretty nice suit you're wearing.
[18:34] Kakihana
I took out a loan to buy this.
[18:36] Sekiguchi
What? Loan this, debt that.
[18:38] Sekiguchi
I thought you were rich.
[18:40] Kakihana
I'm in the cleaning business.
[18:42] Sekiguchi
The cleaning business? So what?
[18:47] Sekiguchi
Don't use your job as an excuse!
[18:49] Kakihana
I'm sorry!
[18:52] Sekiguchi
Your profile is full of lies.
[18:55] Sekgicuhi
What is this?
[18:56] Kakihana
No, wait. Anything but that.
It's for Shiho-chan—
[19:03] Sekiguchi
An engagement ring?
[19:16] Sato
What is this?
[19:17] Rena
An open audition.
[19:18] Sato
Yeah, I can see that.
[19:19] Rena
We made it to the final round.
[19:21] Sato
What? Who did?
[19:22] Rena
Me and Kanon.
[19:24] Sato
What?!
[19:25] Rena
Keep your voice down.
[19:26] Sato
When?
[19:27] Rena
I submitted a karaoke recording
and video the other day.
[19:29] Sato
Do you have a group name?
[19:30] Rena
I can't tell you.
[19:32] Sato
Wow, that's lame! I mean, uh...
[19:36] Sato
Do you have any songs?
[19:37] Rena
No, they gave us a song to sing.
[19:39] Rena
Kanon and I are practicing like crazy.
[19:42] Sato
I don't get it. Why are you
auditioning to become idols?
[19:45] Rena
I'm going to join this agency
and investigate them.
[19:48] Rena
It's too late for honest methods.
I've been stuck at an impasse for a while.
[19:53] Rena
My only clue is the calls from Nikaido.
[19:55] Rena
I'm running out of time.
[19:56] Sato
Yeah, but...
[20:01] Sato
You could've asked me for advice.
[20:04] Sato
About working at the cabaret club, too.
[20:06] Rena
What? That's your problem?
[20:09] Rena
You know, it's been
bothering me for a while,
[20:12] Rena
but you talk and act
like you're my boyfriend.
[20:17] Sato
What?
[20:18] Rena
No, not my boyfriend.
Something worse than that.
[20:21] Rena
The preachy old men who come to the agency
to ask if I should be doing this job.
[20:24] Rena
If that's how they feel,
they shouldn't be there.
[20:27] Sato
What? That's... It's not on purpose.
[20:30] Sato
Maybe you're just too self-conscious.
[20:31] Rena
Well, it's not like I'm your
girlfriend or anything,
[20:34] Rena
so why do you criticize what I do?
[20:37] Rena
I'm just acting on my own judgment.
[20:39] Sato
Rena-san, are you sure you're not
trying to reclaim your lost youth?
[20:45] Sato
Just because you didn't graduate
from high school or college...
[20:48] Rena
And now you're discriminating
based on my academic history.
[20:51] Sato
That's not what I meant.
[20:52] Rena
Thanks for the meal.
[20:54] Sato
Hey, wait!
[20:59] Sato
Where are you going?
[21:01] Rena
Home.
[21:05] Rena
Oh, there's something else
that's been bothering me.
[21:07] Sato
What is it?
[21:09] Rena
Have you told anyone about Odokawa?
[21:12] Sato
What? No. Of course not.
[21:14] Rena
This is your last chance.
[21:17] Rena
Taeko-san told me.
[21:20] Rena
She said you repeatedly said how sorry
you were for what you did to Odokawa.
[21:30] Sato
Oh, Taeko-san.
[21:39] Sato
The truth is, Dobu-san threatened me,
[21:43] Sato
and said something bad might
happen to you if I defied him.
[21:47] Sato
I just wanted to protect you, so...
[21:49] Rena
Listen, it sounds like you're trying to
spin this like you did something heroic,
[21:54] Rena
but this only happened because you went
off to find Dobu's hideout on your own!
[21:59] Sato
It was going well up until that point.
[22:01] Rena
So, he told you to frame
an innocent man. Am I wrong?
[22:06] Sato
Actually, when I told Dobu-san—I mean, Dobu—
that we were investigating Odokawa-san,
[22:12] Sato
he told me to keep him informed
and keep an eye on him.
[22:14] Sato
I did all of this for you, Rena-san.
[22:17] Rena
Why'd you have to strike that jackpot?
[22:20] Sato
Oh, well...
[22:22] Rena
I suspected it before, but you really suck.
[22:27] Rena
You always act like nothing's your fault.
[22:31] Rena
It's written all over your face
that you grew up pampered.
[22:35] Sato
That's— You don't know that, Rena-san!
[22:40] Sato
I'm not taking that from someone
who never had a proper adolescence!
[22:43] Sato
Not that you'd understand,
since you don't have parents.
[22:51] Rena
Who told you that?
[22:59] Rena
Is Mitsuya a stage name?
SIGN Next Time
[23:00] Wadagaki
Why?
[23:01] Ichimura
They're only trying to promote Nikaido-san.
[23:02] Dobu
I'm gonna rob a bank.
[23:04] Kuroda
Did you kidnap her?
[23:06] Man
Who are you?
[23:07] Kakihana
Shiho-chan!
[23:10] Odokawa
I'll sell it to you.
[23:11] Yamamoto
How much?
[23:11] Odokawa
One billion yen.
SIGN This show is a work of fiction.
[23:12] Yamamoto
We have a problem.

[00:15] Director
Cut!
[00:16] Ad
Okay, cut. That was good.
[00:17] Ad
We'll do the parking lot scene next.
We'll resume in 20 minutes.
[00:20] Staff
Also, everyone, Nikaido-sama brought
us some sweet buns. Thank you!
[00:25] Staff
Thank you!
[00:27] Director
You were fantastic, Rui-chan.
That felt really real.
[00:31] Director
Keep up the good work.
[00:33] Nikaido
Yes, sir.
[00:34] Yamamoto
Thank you, Director.
[00:36] Director
Sure thing.
[00:37] Yamamoto
You were great.
[00:39] Nikaido
Why do I have to do this?
[00:42] Yamamoto
What?
[00:42] Staff
Hello.
[00:44] Yamamoto
Come on, don't do this now.
[00:47] Yamamoto
You're the one who said you couldn't
make it on singing and dancing alone.
[00:50] Yamamoto
You're gonna get cast in bit parts to start.
[00:52] Nikaido
No, I mean why does it have to be this role?
[00:57] Yamamoto
There weren't any other options.
[01:00] Yamamoto
We couldn't say no after
they made a role just for you.
[01:03] Nikaido
Well, thank you very much.
[01:05] Yamamoto
What's wrong with you? Don't get so upset.
[01:09] Yamamoto
You're judging that audition tonight.
[01:11] Yamamoto
Be friendly. I'm counting on you, okay?
[01:13] Staff
Hello.
[01:14] Yamamoto
Hello.
[01:28] Rena
Excuse me.
[01:30] Ichimura
Yes?
[01:33] Kanon
Are you two in Mystery Kiss?
[01:35] Wadagaki
Nice to meet you.
[01:37] Rena
This actually isn't the first time.
[01:39] Kanon
We've met before.
[01:43] Wadagaki
Oh, you were at the release event.
[01:45] Ichimura
Oh, is that why?
[01:47] Ichimura
It's not like we have any other female fans.
[01:49] Rena
I'm so happy to be
standing onstage with you.
[01:51] Wadagaki
Wow, I'm impressed you
made it to the final ten.
[01:55] Rena
It's just a coincidence.
How was your audition?
[02:01] Wadagaki
I think there were about a hundred people.
[02:03] Kanon
A hundred?
[02:04] Rena
And the three of you were chosen?
[02:10] Ichimura
Yeah. The three of us were chosen.
[02:13] Rena
I guess people who survive
are a different breed.
[02:15] Kanon
Right?
[02:17] Ichimura
How?
[02:17] Rena
What?
[02:18] Ichimura
They make us wear masks.
[02:21] Ichimura
They're only trying to promote Nikaido-san.
[02:23] Rena
Why?
[02:24] Ichimura
Why? Because... I don't know.
[02:28] Ichimura
It's probably the agency's strategy, right?
[02:32] Kanon
Are you two okay with that?
[02:35] Yamamoto
Sorry. Good morning,
good morning, good morning.
[02:37] Idols
Good morning.
[02:44] Yamamoto
What's wrong?
[02:46] Nikaido
What is this? We're all
sharing a greenroom?
[02:50] Yamamoto
We've got a lot of people. We can't help it.
[02:52] Nikaido
I want my own room.
[02:55] Yamamoto
But it's full of equipment and costumes.
[02:57] Nikaido
Then install a partition here. Now.
[03:00] Yamamoto
Hold on.
[03:08] Yamamoto
Hey. Nikaido, hey.
[03:12] Kanon
She's got a cute face, but...
[03:15] Rena
Mitsuya-san, what is Nikaido-san like?
[03:20] Wadagaki
Like you just saw.
Strong-willed and hates to lose.
[03:26] Rena
I wish I could talk to her.
[03:28] Wadagaki
I get it. Not even I feel like
I can casually talk to her.
[03:33] Wadagaki
She's been even more on edge since it was
decided we'd make our major debut.
[03:38] Kanon
Mystery Kiss is kind of impressive, though.
[03:41] Kanon
You only had five fans to start, right?
[03:43] Wadagaki
Huh?
[03:46] Wadagaki
Oh, yeah. There was a time like that.
[03:50] Wadagaki
It was tough.
[03:55] Rena
Is Mitsuya a stage name?
[03:58] Wadagaki
Why?
[03:59] Kanon
We have this high school junior we haven't
been able to get in touch with recently.
[04:03] Kanon
We're looking for her.
[04:04] Kanon
Her name is Mitsuya Yuki.
[04:06] Rena
Hey, Kanon.
[04:07] Kanon
What?
[04:08] Wadagaki
What a coincidence.
[04:11] Wadagaki
Is your junior an idol, too?
[04:18] Wadagaki
I see. You must be worried.
[04:21] Rena
Yeah, so could you let me know
if you know anything?
[04:28] Wadagaki
Sure. I'll let you know
if anything comes up.
[04:30] Rena
Thanks. Do you mind?
[04:32] Kanon
Look. Look at this.
[04:34] Rena
I'm looking, I'm looking.
[04:35] Kanon
Don't I look amazing?
[04:36] Rena
Hold on.
[04:37] Kanon
I could totally debut.
[04:38] Rena
Can you be quiet for a second?
[04:45] Yamamoto
Hello? We have a problem.
[04:49] Kanon
Rena, I think you're wearing that backwards.
[04:55] Rena
Oh, you're right.
[04:56] Kanon
Pull yourself together. This isn't like you.
[04:59] Rena
Sorry.
[05:00] Kanon
I'm heading back out there.
[05:01] Rena
Okay.
[05:16] Rena
Do you know where Mitsuya Yuki is?
[05:19] Nikaido
No. Probably still in the green room.
[05:24] Rena
The real one.
[05:35] Underling
Greenroom?
[05:36] Staff
May I see your ticket?
[05:37] Underling
Where's the greenroom?
[05:37] Staff
The greenroom isn't open to the public.
[05:39] Underling
I'm asking you where the greenroom is.
[05:40] Staff
Um, if I could see some ID...
[05:42] Underling
What? You're useless.
[05:46] Kanon
She suddenly disappeared.
I can't find her anywhere.
[05:49] Staff
Sometimes girls cancel last minute.
[05:52] Staff
We can't wait any longer, so you're
disqualified due to an absence.
[05:57] Staff
You're on next, Mystery Kiss.
[05:59] Kanon
Seriously?
[06:02] Kanon
Where have you been?
I was worried about you.
[06:04] Kanon
We failed the audition, y'know!
[06:08] Rena
Get out of there. Go somewhere safe.
[06:11] Rena
Not your home. Somewhere around people.
[06:14] Rena
I'll call you later.
[06:38] Fan
Who is that?
[06:43] Rena
Crap, crap, crap.
[06:44] Fan
Watch out.
[06:48] Fan
Hey! Whoa!
[06:55] Fan
Rui-tan! Rui-tan!
[06:56] Nikaido
Thanks for waiting, everyone! Here we go!
[07:02] Nikaido
Ready, and...
[08:20] Sekiguchi
Who the hell are you?
[08:22] Sekiguchi
What were you doing there?
[08:29] Sato
Why didn't you audition?
[08:36] Yamamoto
Thanks again, Odokawa-san.
[08:39] Yamamoto
Could you take us
to Shibaura Wharf in a hurry?
[08:48] Yamamoto
Thanks.
[08:52] Yamamoto
By the way, have you considered my request
to hand over your dash cam data?
[08:59] Odokawa
Yeah, sure.
[09:01] Yamamoto
Really?
[09:03] Odokawa
I'll sell it to you.
[09:06] Odokawa
For one billion yen.
[09:14] Yamamoto
That's the kind of price
a child would come up with.
[09:28] Sekiguchi
Doesn't this seem like not enough profit?
[09:31] Sekiguchi
Is this all we make from concerts?
[09:34] Yamamoto
They weren't the only ones performing today.
[09:36] Sekiguchi
Why's she here?
[09:41] Yamamoto
She doesn't want to run
badger games anymore,
[09:45] Yamamoto
so she's here to talk to Yano-san.
[09:47] Sekiguchi
He's busy right now.
[09:50] Yamamoto
More importantly, I've got some bad news.
[09:52] Yamamoto
Could I talk to him for a few minutes?
[09:54] Sekiguchi
Bad news?
[09:55] Kakihana
Shiho-chan.
[09:56] Yamamoto
It's about the dash cam.
[09:57] Kakihana
Is that you, Shiho-chan?
[10:00] Kakihana
That's not you, is it?
[10:03] Ichimura
Who are you?
[10:04] Kakihana
Shiho-chan!
[10:06] Kakihana
You're being tricked, right?
[10:07] Kakihana
I'll protect you from these guys!
[10:14] Kakihana
I'm actually pretty strong.
[10:17] Kakihana
I've mastered every martial art there is,
from sumo for kids to whatever-jiujitsu.
[10:26] Ichimura
Don't get the wrong idea, mister.
Seriously, I can't even.
[10:31] Kakihana
Didn't we have fun together?
[10:32] Kakihana
We ate lots of good food together.
[10:34] Ichimura
Spending time with you was painful.
[10:37] Ichimura
That's why I want to quit
running badger games.
[10:39] Kakihana
You're not the kind of girl who says that!
[10:42] Kakihana
Shiho-chan, you're a liar!
[10:44] Ichimura
You're the liar, you bum! You're broke!
[10:47] Yamamoto
Ichimura.
[10:50] Kakihana
Why?! Why would you say that?!
[10:56] Yano
What, what, what?
[10:57] Kakihana
I don't believe you! You're lying!
[10:58] Sekiguchi
So, what's your bad news?
[11:02] Yamamoto
It's about the dash cam data.
[11:07] Yamamoto
Someone else offered to buy it.
[11:10] Yamamoto
We need to get that dash cam data soon.
[11:12] Yamamoto
I haven't been able to sleep since then.
[11:15] Yamamoto
I keep expecting my doorbell to ring.
[11:18] Yamamoto
Can't you do something about this?!
[11:19] Sekiguchi
Quit your whining!
[11:25] Yamamoto
Mystery Kiss is doing great right now!
[11:29] Yamamoto
They're about to make their major debut!
[11:32] Yano
You guys are doin' pretty good these days?
[11:34] Yano
Then ain't it about time my favor was repaid?
[11:40] Sekiguchi
What should we do with him?
[11:42] Yano
What should we do? What should we do?!
[11:45] Yano
You're just like him, too.
[11:47] Yano
Lacking in caution.
Quit asking about our next move.
[11:55] Dobu
So, how was Yamamoto?
[11:59] Odokawa
He seemed flustered.
[12:01] Odokawa
He wanted to know who was trying to buy it.
[12:03] Dobu
Want some?
[12:05] Odokawa
So, what are you going to do next?
SIGN I haven't heard from Kakihana-san in a week. Do you know where he is?
[12:08] Dobu
I'm gonna rob a bank.
[12:11] Odokawa
What? Sorry, I wasn't listening.
[12:14] Dobu
I'm going to rob a bank.
[12:17] Odokawa
Are you stupid? How, in this day and age?
[12:22] Dobu
To be precise, I'm going to rob someone
who's at the bank to make a withdrawal.
[12:26] Dobu
I want you to help me.
[12:28] Odokawa
I told you, I'm not helping you.
[12:31] Dobu
Just listen.
[12:32] Dobu
It takes a week or two to get
enough cash for a large withdrawal.
[12:37] Dobu
They're supposed to contact me
when that happens.
[12:40] Dobu
They'll let me know who's receiving
how much cash on what day at what time.
[12:45] Odokawa
How do you know that?
[12:48] Dobu
Lottery tickets can only be redeemed
at an exchange bank.
[12:51] Dobu
Anyone who wins a large amount
has to visit that branch,
[12:54] Dobu
and I've bribed one of their bank employees.
[12:58] Dobu
It's basically like I won the lottery.
[13:02] Odokawa
That's an awfully roundabout
way of doing things.
[13:04] Odokawa
Why not just have the bank
employee withdraw the cash?
[13:07] Dobu
You don't get it.
[13:11] Dobu
That would make the employee a victim.
[13:14] Dobu
If I make them an accomplice, then no matter
what happens, it'll work out for me.
[13:19] Dobu
As the day of the withdrawal approaches,
[13:22] Dobu
guys like me will swarm around
that bank employee.
[13:26] Dobu
And we'll beat 'em all and take the cash.
[13:33] Dobu
You won't be in any danger.
[13:37] Dobu
All you have to do is put the cash in
your car once I've taken it to a safe place.
[13:46] Dobu
We'll ditch the main car then.
[13:50] Dobu
You and I will disappear with the cash.
[13:54] Dobu
Don't think about it too hard.

[14:00] Kuroda

[14:03] Kuroda

[14:22] Kuroda
I thought I told you not to come here.
[14:26] Yano
Why are you doing this?
[14:28] Kuroda
They didn't have enough staff.
[14:30] Yano
I'm not talking about the pork broth.
[14:32] Kuroda
I want to retire and focus on this.
[14:39] Yano
I won't forget everything you've done for me.
[14:42] Kuroda
You're awfully hasty, aren't you?
[14:48] Yano
So, about that dirty-as-sin heaping
pile of cash you can't spend...
[14:54] Kuroda
You don't have to put it like that.
[14:56] Yano
The billion yen Dobu-san's got his eye on.
[14:59] Yano
I already found it.
[15:03] Kuroda
The police are watching me.
I can't do anything.
[15:06] Yano
That's why this is an opportunity.
[15:09] Yano
I can't let you do this.
[15:12] Yano
I'm gonna bring you some
sparkling clean money.
[15:16] Kuroda
You idiot!
[15:18] Kuroda
I'm doing this for the world!
For the people!
[15:26] Kuroda
I didn't found an NPO just to launder money!
[15:31] Yano
Doesn't matter to me either way.
[15:35] Yano
If you're determined to retire,
then you'll definitely need money.
[15:40] Yano
You need money to help people, too.
[15:42] Kuroda
So you're gonna steal some
from an honest man?
[15:45] Yano
No, I'm gonna protect an honest citizen.
[15:49] Yano
He's been yapping about it on social media.
[15:52] Yano
Even if we left him alone,
someone worse would prey on him.
[15:56] Kuroda
I haven't finished cleaning up
your mess, you know.
[16:01] Kuroda
There was a time when I thought
about making you an executive.
[16:06] Kuroda
I must be going senile.
[16:16] Kuroda
Did you kidnap Don-chan's daughter?
[16:32] Odokawa
The girl my friend met through a dating site,
[16:35] Odokawa
and the girl who was with a talent agency
guy named Yamamoto are the same person.
[16:38] (Flashback) Kakihana
My spring's finally on the horizon, though.
[16:41] Dobu
So? Why do I have to be your bodyguard?
[16:45] Odokawa
You're the one who proposed
I transport a billion yen.
[16:48] Dobu
Those are hardly equal.
[16:52] Dobu
So, where's your friend?
[16:56] Odokawa
At the wharf.
[16:57] Dobu
Hold on. You don't mean
Yano's place, do you?
[17:01] Dobu
If it is, there's nothing I can do.
[17:04] Odokawa
Isn't Yano your junior?
[17:06] Odokawa
You're the one obsessed with hierarchies
and pledges made over sake cups.
[17:09] Odokawa
You should be able to
resolve this by talking.
[17:11] Dobu
There's an unspoken rule that we don't
interfere with each other's business.
[17:15] Odokawa
If I can't save Kakihana,
I'm not helping you rob a bank.
[17:20] Odokawa
Wouldn't that mean Yano
is interfering with your job?
[17:25] Dobu
You think you're so witty, don't you?
[17:34] Man
Hey.
[18:08] Sekiguchi
Well, if it isn't Dobu-san.
[18:11] Sekiguchi
What do you think you're doing?
[18:13] Dobu
It's cold out here. Let me inside.
[18:18] Sekiguchi
Who is he?
[18:20] Dobu
A taxi driver.
[18:23] Sekiguchi
That's your underling?
[18:26] Sekiguchi
You've fallen far, Dobu.
[18:29] Dobu
And you're out here runnin' badger games,
so I could say the same of you.
[18:36] Dobu
Hey, taxi driver. I'm gonna
chuck this guy into the sea.
[18:43] Dobu
Take your friend and get
outta here in the meantime.
[20:45] Odokawa
Sorry to keep you waiting.
[21:09] Kakihana
Odokawa...
[21:15] Kakihana
I get to go home?
[21:18] Odokawa
Yeah, let's go home.
[21:22] Kakihana
I'm so pathetic.
[21:24] Kakihana
And you know what he said?
[21:26] Kakihana
That I've always been pathetic.
[21:33] Kakihana
Suddenly, I felt better.
[21:36] Kakihana
He's my hero.
[21:40] Sato
So, where is this Odokawa person now?
[21:44] Kakihana
He said he still had something to do.
[21:49] Rena
Kakihana-san, do you know
where you were being held captive?
[21:53] Kaikhana
Not sure. Seemed like
some kind of warehouse.
[21:58] Rena
Did you see any young girls
around Ichimura Shiho's age?
[22:04] Rena
Who was holding you captive?
[22:09] Kakihana
This big bear of a man wearing glasses.
[22:13] Kakihana
He was wearing a black track suit.
[22:17] Sato
Do you remember anything else?
[22:20] Sato
Did they say anything?
[22:24] Kakihana
They were talking about some dash cam data.
[22:28] Kakihana
They said they really needed
to get their hands on it.
[22:31] Taeko
Kakihana-san, should we call the police?
[22:34] Kakihana
Nah, it's kind of embarrassing.
[22:37] Kakihana
Besides, I'm tired.

Does your agency make you do
that kind of thing?

Her reaction was obviously strange.

In any case, it was weird.

I heard she contacted them.
[10:41] Rena
Oh, yeah?
[10:43] Nikaido
She asked them not to look for her.
[10:45] Nikaido
Maybe she realized her father
had yakuza connections.
[10:49] Nikaido
She couldn't have kept working
as an idol after that.
[10:53] Rena
You think her dad would've accepted that?
[10:56] Nikaido
I don't know. But it's her father who feels
guilty about what he's done, right?
[11:00] Rena
He hasn't.
[11:03] Nikaido
What?
[11:05] Rena
He hasn't accepted it, so he hired
a detective to find his daughter,
[11:08] Rena
but she's still missing.
[11:09] Nikaido
You're a detective, aren't you?
[11:11] Rena
Formerly. Not anymore.
[11:14] Nikaido
Then why are you doing this?
[11:16] Rena
Because she was my junior in high school.
[11:19] Nikaido
That's all?
[11:20] Rena
How can you be so calm
when someone is missing?
[11:25] Rena
She might've gotten caught up in a crime.
[11:27] Nikaido
Fine. I'll cooperate.
[11:29] Nikaido
I'm already cooperating with the police.
[11:31] Nikaido
So, what?
[11:35] Nikaido
Plenty of girls go missing
due to poor mental health.
[11:39] Nikaido
If anything, it's weird that
you're so fired up about it
[11:42] Nikaido
just because you went
to the same high school.
[11:44] Nikaido
She's holding me back and
causing huge problems for me.
[11:49] Rena
All kinds of people are under
suspicion because of this.
[11:52] Nikaido
Uh-huh. Well, you go on
holding other people back.
[12:05] Rena
I used to be the same way.
[12:08] Rena
I understand what it's like to
wish someone would just go away.
[12:13] Rena
She could do everything, including track.
[12:16] Rena
Not only was I less talented than her,
but she even worked hard in secret.
[12:21] Rena
Watching Yuki threw my own
failures back in my face.
[12:25] Nikaido
How would you know how I feel?
[12:27] Rena
On the night of October 4th,
you were at Mystery Kiss' agency office.
[12:31] Nikaido
What proof do you have?
[12:32] Rena
The last call Yuki received was from you.
[12:36] Rena
Also, I have this photo.
[12:38] Nikaido
Okay? So what if I was at my own agency?
[12:43] Rena
You came up with some pretext
[12:44] Rena
to invite Mitsuya Yuki to the agency
in the middle of the night.
[12:47] Nikaido
And?
[12:50] Rena
You killed her.
[12:53] Nikaido
That's a huge leap. Are you stupid?
[12:56] Nikaido
Besides, it's not that easy to kill someone.
[12:58] Rena
No, it must've been on impulse.
[13:01] Rena
You suspected your agency was
backed by someone shady, didn't you?
[13:05] Rena
The yakuza disposed of the body.
That's why Yuki hasn't been found.
[13:11] Rena
If you were truly smart and calm,
you wouldn't have killed her.
[13:17] Nikaido
And if you were smarter and calmer,
then you wouldn't have done this.
[13:22] Nikaido
This pretending to be a detective
or pretending to be an idol.
[13:45] Dobu
Damn it. That bastard.
[13:47] Dobu
Take me to a doctor, Odokawa.
[13:51] Dobu
There's an unlicensed doctor
I'm well-acquainted with.
[13:58] Dobu
Hurry up. Put me in your taxi.
[14:01] Odokawa
You should go to a normal hospital.
Receive proper treatment.
[14:06] Dobu
Wait. The car. What are you
going to do with it?
[14:10] Odokawa
I'm going to return the money to its owner.
[14:13] Odokawa
It finally caught up to you.
[14:14] Odokawa
This is what they call retribution.
[14:17] Odokawa
This is goodbye for you and me.
[14:23] Dobu
Don't screw with me, Odokawa.
[14:31] Sato
Hey! Dobu-san, hang in there! Hey!
[14:36] Dobu
What are you doing here?
[14:43] Sato
Why'd you have to go and get shot?
[14:46] Dobu
A lot of people have it out for me.
[14:55] Dobu
This is what they call retribution.
[15:00] Sato
Did Odokawa do this to you?
[15:04] Dobu
He's just a taxi driver who
gave a passenger a ride.
[15:13] Dobu
Hurry up and call the cops.
[15:17] Dobu
Otherwise, there's no telling
what Yano will do to him.
[15:22] Sato
Huh? What?
[15:25] Sato
No. Stay with me!
[15:28] Sato
Hey! Hey, Dobu-san! Dobu-san!
[15:35] Golfer
Nice shot.
[15:38] Golfer
You're on the green.
[15:39] Golfer
Nice one.
[15:41] Golfer
Nice.
[15:44] Subordinate
Excuse me.
[15:45] Kuroda
Right.
[16:02] Golfer
Huh? Are you okay?
[16:03] Golfer
What happened? Hey.
[16:05] Male Announcer
Before dawn on the 25th, three male
members of an anti-social organization
[16:08] Male Announcer
nearly stole roughly one billion yen
in lottery winnings.
[16:09] Female Announcer 1
Representative Kuroda Shigeru was transported
by emergency services to the hospital,
[16:10] Male Announcer
This morning before dawn,
the police arrested a 27-year-old
[16:12] Female Announcer 1
where he is receiving treatment for...
[16:13] Male Announcer
and 33-year-old unemployed man
fleeing from the scene of the crime.
[16:13] Female Announcer 2
According to the MPD, suspect Kyohei
was shot with a firearm in a parking lot.
[16:15] Female Announcer 2
Illegally acquired funds were
being supplied to the NPO...
[16:15] Male Announcer
Due to severe blood loss, a 39-year-old man
thought be to connected to the same case...
[16:17] Female Announcer 2
The police have been waiting
for Kuroda to recover to...
[16:19] Female Announcer 2
Until now, he's supported
over 5,000 children
[16:21] Female Announcer 2
orphaned by traffic accidents
or without living relatives...
[16:23] Female Reporter
In the case of the unidentified body
found near Shibaura Wharf,
[16:25] Female Reporter
the MPD is investigating a connection
to the missing Nerima high school girl
[16:30] Female Reporter
due to similarities
in appearance and clothes—
[16:36] Kumiko
Well?
[16:38] Rena
The day she disappeared,
Yuki-san received a bunch of calls
[16:43] Rena
from another girl in her group
in the middle of the night.
[16:47] Kumiko
That's right. She said her friend
invited her out before she left.
[16:52] Rena
Where was she invited to?
[16:54] Kumiko
I don't know.
[16:57] Rena
That girl is the leader
of the group Yuki was in.
[17:01] Kumiko
I see.
[17:02] Rena
Yes.
[17:04] Rena
And that night, that leader...
Nikaido entered the agency's office.
[17:11] Rena
This is Nikaido Rui. Do you recognize her?
[17:18] Kumiko
Did Yuki do something
to make this girl hate her?
[17:23] Rena
Even if she did, what happened
to her is unforgivable.
[17:28] Rena
I promise I'll catch whoever did it.
[17:32] Kumiko
Why are you doing all this for my daughter?
[17:40] Kumiko
A man named Yano has been telling me
to keep quiet about this.
[17:49] Kumiko
"Don't look for your daughter. If you tell
the police, I'll expose your husband's past."
[17:56] Kumiko
At first, he promised
to tell me where Yuki was
[18:00] Kumiko
if I rescinded the missing person's report.
[18:02] Rena
Yano?
[18:03] Ibusuki
A potential executive
of a criminal organization.
[18:07] Rena
Why didn't he want you to talk?
[18:12] Kumiko
My husband Donraku was
going to be named a tomena.
[18:17] Rena
Tomena?
[18:18] Sato
Rena-san, you don't know what that is?
[18:20] Sato
It means no one else will take his name.
[18:23] Sato
It's the highest rank someone can achieve.
[18:26] Kumiko
Yuki was overjoyed by the news, too.
[18:29] Kumiko
So at first, we thought Yuki ran away
[18:32] Kumiko
because she was shocked
to learn about Donraku's past.
[18:38] Rena
Did Yano tell you that?
[18:42] Rena
Was there anything else
unusual about that day?
[18:47] Kumiko
It was the same as always.
[18:49] Kumiko
On weekdays, she came home
around eight at night.
[18:52] Kumiko
Donraku was home for once, so
the three of us had dinner at home.
[18:58] Kumiko
We talked about trivial things,
[19:01] Kumiko
like the trouble Yuki caused when
she was little by bringing frogs home.
[19:09] Kumiko
Hello?
[19:11] Kumiko
I'll be right there.
[19:13] Sato
Huh? Ma'am?

I've heard the police are
investigating this case as a murder.
[20:17] Reporter
Do you have any idea what happened to her?
[20:19] Yamamoto
Well, she was underpaid
before the group debuted.
[20:28] Yamamoto
I believe she promoted herself
on social media
[20:31] Yamamoto
and may have been close with fans as well.
[20:33] Reporter
You mean she was killed by a fan?
[20:35] Yamamoto
No, I'm just saying that's a possibility.

We take responsibility for failing to protect
her privacy and provide adequate security.

more than we already do.

We also can't bear to face

Push that side. We'll dump her.
[09:35] (Flashback) Yamamoto
Let's dump her.
[09:40] (Flashback) Yamamoto
Are you okay?
[09:44] (Flashback) Sekiguchi
Unbelievable. Yano-san,
could you handle the engine?
[09:48] (Flashback) Yano
What?
[09:52] (Flashback) Sekiguchi
Hey!
[09:59] (Flashback) Sekiguchi
You idiots! What are you doing?!
[10:08] (Flashback) Yamamoto
Hey, Nikaido, um...
[11:13] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Hello.
[11:31] (Flashback) Girl
What? Yuki?
[11:32] (Flashback) Girl
Yuki! Are you okay?!
[11:34] (Flashback) Boy
Hey! Are you okay?
[11:35] (Flashback) Girl
Someone get a teacher!
[11:35] (Flashback) Boy
Got it!
[11:36] (Flashback) Girl
Yuki? What's wrong?
[11:38] (Flashback) Girl
It's Yuki!
[11:39] (Flashback) Students
This is bad.
[11:40] (Flashback) Students
Are you okay? Yuki? Yuki?
[11:42] (Flashback) Students
Are you okay? Yuki!
[12:07] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Yes?
[12:11] (Flashback) Mitsuya
You came to see me?
[12:12] (Flashback) Kanon
Yeah.
[12:14] (Flashback) Student A
Yuki-chan, we're gonna go.
[12:16] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Okay.
[12:16] (Flashback) Student B
We'll visit again before you move.
[12:17] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Thanks. Bye. Thanks.
[12:18] (Flashback) Student
See you later.
[12:19] (Flashback) Student
Bye.
[12:20] (Flashback) Student
Take care.
[12:23] (Flashback) Mitsuya
It's good to see you again.
[12:24] (Flashback) Kanon
Good to see you.
[12:28] (Flashback) Student A
I'm amazed she showed her face here.
[12:30] (Flashback) Student B
Right? Talk about shameless.
[12:33] (Flashback) Kanon
Yuki, you're moving?
[12:35] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Yeah. I'm transferring schools.
[12:38] (Flashback) Rena
What?
[12:40] (Flashback) Mitsuya
It's not your fault, Rena-san.
[12:42] (Flashback) Mitsuya
I was always planning to move in
with my father who lives in Tokyo.
[12:48] (Flashback) Kanon
I see. So, how are you doing?
[12:53] (Flashback) Mitsuya
A lot better. See?
[13:01] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Rena-san, I heard you were suspended.
[13:08] (Flashback) Mitsuya
I'm sorry that happened because of me.
[13:11] (Flashback) Rena
No, uh...
[13:14] (Flashback) Kanon
Tokyo, huh? Lucky. I'd love to go hang out.
[13:17] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Kanon-san, you're thinking
of Harajuku, aren't you?
[13:20] (Flashback) Mitsuya
My father's house is in Nerima.
[13:22] (Flashback) Mitsuya
It's not that different from here.
[13:24] (Flashback) Kanon
No way! When are you moving?
[13:28] (Flashback) Mitsuya
As soon as I'm out of the hospital.
[13:30] (Flashback) Kanon
I see.
[13:34] (Flashback) Kanon
Hey, Rena. Yuki said she wanted to see you.
[13:40] (Flashback) Rena
What?
[13:42] (Flashback) Mitsuya
I thought we'd regret not seeing
each other before we parted ways.
[13:48] (Flashback) Kanon
Right?
[13:51] (Flashback) Mitsuya
I still like you, Rena-san, so...
[13:56] (Flashback) Kanon
Wait, what about me?
[13:58] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Kanon-san, you'll forget
about me before long.
[14:02] (Flashback) Kanon
How could you? You know that's not true.
[14:05] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Let's hang out in Tokyo
together sometime, okay?
[14:08] (Flashback) Kanon
Agreed!
[14:12] (Flashback) Kanon
Right, Rena?
[14:16] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Oh, right. That keychain.
[14:27] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Thank you. I'll treasure it.
[14:36] (Flashback) Mitsuya
It's so cute.
[14:40] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Rena-san? I hope you're not crying.
[14:44] (Flashback) Mitsuya
It'll make it harder to see you again.
[14:48] Donraku
Thank you.
[14:53] Donraku
Thank you.
[14:55] Kumiko
Rena-chan, thank you so much
for coming today.
[15:00] Kumiko
We were just going to invite family, but
we wanted to make an exception for you.
[15:05] Kumiko
I'm sure Yuki is happy, too.
[15:08] Donraku
Thank you for all that you've done.
[15:12] Rena
I'm sorry I couldn't do anything to help.
[15:16] Kumiko
That's not true at all. You kept
searching for her until the end.
[15:21] Rena
Are you two all right?
[15:27] Donraku
Yeah.
[15:30] Donraku
I'm relieved Yuki finally came back to us.
[15:36] Rena
Right.
[15:38] Kumiko
Rena-chan, you can come talk
to us anytime you're hurting.
[15:45] Rena
Um, I did a terrible thing to Yuki-san.
[15:57] Kumiko
What do you mean?
[16:02] Rena
I'm the one who injured her
on the stairs in high school.
[16:17] Donraku
That's in the past.
[16:22] Rena
I liked Yuki.
[16:26] Rena
She was so brilliant, it frustrated me.
[16:33] Rena
I still don't understand what
I did then or why I did it.
[16:48] Rena
It eats away at me so much
I don't know what to do.
[16:53] Rena
I'm sorry.
[17:14] Yamamoto
Yes! I hope you'll come!
[17:17] Yamamoto
I'll pick you up. Okay, thank you!
[17:26] Nakamine
Excuse me.
[17:29] Nakamine
Yamamoto-san.
[17:36] Nakamine
Um, Nikaido-san.

I'd like to try disguising myself.
[18:33] Ibusuki
Sure, do it. What?
[18:36] Rena
Hello.
[18:37] Sato
Hello. Feels like it's been a while, huh?
[18:42] Ibusuki
You should've let me know you were coming.
[18:44] Rena
Sorry. The Yuki stuff has calmed down
for now, so I came to tidy up.
[18:52] Ibusuki
What about the future? Have you
already decided what you're going to do?
[18:56] Rena
Not really.
[19:00] Ibusuki
Don't be so secretive.
[19:04] Rena
I've been learning on the job
for a while now,
[19:06] Rena
so I figured I'd do some
classroom learning for a while.
[19:09] Sato
What classroom learning?
[19:11] Otani
You're going to college?
[19:12] Rena
I'll start by getting my
secondary school certificate.
[19:16] Rena
Then I'll study the law properly.
[19:19] Otani
What about an online program?
[19:22] Otani
Then you can keep working while you study.
[19:25] Otani
That's what my second cousin's
husband's sister's friend did,
[19:29] Otani
and she makes tons of money now.
[19:33] Otani
Why don't you do that while
you come back to work for us?
[19:37] Otani
Finding a new investigator would be
a lot of work. Right, boss?
[19:41] Sato
What are you talking about? We've got me.
[19:43] Otani
Who, you? Where?
[19:44] Caster
According to their investigation,
[19:44] Sato
Hey! I'm already right here, aren't I?
[19:45] Caster
police found signs that Mitsuya-san
was struck on the head with a blunt object
[19:46] Ibusuki
You just joined recently.
[19:49] Caster
and strangled with something like a cable.
[19:53] Caster
Also, there was no weapon
found at the crime scene.
[19:58] Caster
Based on the method used,
[20:00] Caster
the police believe the culprit held
a strong grudge against Mitsuya-san
[20:03] Caster
and are currently
questioning multiple people
[20:06] Caster
who may have had interpersonal
issues with the victim.
[20:09] Wadagaki
What happened to you today?
[20:11] Rena
Sorry for suddenly asking to meet.
[20:13] Wadagaki
It's totally fine. It's not like
I have anything else to do.
[20:16] Wadagaki
Everyone's been arrested.
My schedule's wide open.
[20:21] Employee
Thank you for waiting.
[20:23] Customer
Wait, really?
[20:27] Employee
You have my support.
[20:29] Customer
This is so awkward.
[20:33] Wadagaki
Now I'm famous for something weird.
Did you see the news?
[20:38] Rena
Yeah. Sorry I didn't notice.
[20:42] Wadagaki
It's fine. Now I don't have to wear a mask.
[20:49] Rena
I figured out a bunch of things
because you called me the other day.
[20:53] Rena
I wanted to thank you for that today.
[20:55] Wadagaki
Really? You mean about Nikaido-san?
[20:58] Rena
Yeah. It made me realize there are
unimaginably scary things out there.
[21:06] Rena
Wadagaki-san, what are you going to do?
[21:09] Wadagaki
I've actually been recruited
by another agency.
[21:12] Rena
Another agency? You're going
to keep being an idol?
[21:14] Wadagaki
I can't let that bring me down.
It's the reason I came to Tokyo.
[21:20] Wadagaki
I can't go home until
I've accomplished something.
[21:23] Rena
Right.
[21:25] Wadagaki
Besides, I haven't been paid yet.
[21:28] Wadagaki
I can't even get in touch
with the company president.
[21:31] Wadagaki
I've gotten caught in the crossfire.
[21:33] Rena
Crossfire?
[21:34] Wadagaki
Huh?
[21:36] Rena
Come to think of it,
[21:38] Rena
you and Ichimura-san must've been asked
what you were doing the day of the incident.
[21:44] Wadagaki
Yeah. This again?
[21:47] Wadagaki
The police asked me too,
but it was a normal day for me.
[21:50] Wadagaki
I went to my dance lesson,
and then I went home.
[21:53] Wadagaki
Why do you ask?
[21:55] Rena
Your dance lesson, huh?
What about Ichimura-san?
[21:58] Wadagaki
I don't know. Probably
doing her sugar daddy job.
[22:02] Rena
Maybe that was the reason.
[22:06] Rena
What caused Nikaido-san
and Mitsuya-san's disagreement?
[22:09] Wadagaki
Nikaido-san had a harsh personality.
[22:12] Rena
Is that a reason to do that?
[22:14] Wadagaki
What's gotten into you?
I feel like I'm being interrogated.
[22:18] Rena
Do you?
[22:21] Wadagaki
I'm trying to move onto
my next step, so could you not?
[22:34] Rena
You're right.
[22:36] Rena
Wadagaki-san?
[22:38] Rena
Wadagaki-san?
[22:55] Rena
Sato?
[22:57] Rena
She just left. Be careful.
[22:59] Wadagaki

I'd be able to meet my dad.

Mom, I've been wondering.
Why do you turn off the TV?
[00:42] (Flashback) Mom
Because we're gonna eat.
Come on, sit up straight.
[00:50] (Flashback) Wadagaki
You always turn off the TV
when Donraku comes on.
[00:56] (Flashback) Mom
We promised not to talk about that anymore.
[00:59] (Flashback) Wadagaki
We used to have tons of pictures of him up.
[01:02] (Flashback) Wadagaki
How long are you gonna hide it?
[01:04] (Flashback) Wadagaki
I might see him in Tokyo.

I dunno. Look it up yourself, why don't you?
[01:26] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Are you auditioning today?
[01:27] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Huh? Uh, yes.
[01:30] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Then let's go together.
[01:39] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Thank you for earlier.
[01:41] (Flashback) Mitsuya
It's totally fine. That map
was impossible to understand.
[01:45] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Yeah. I just came to Tokyo yesterday.
[01:49] (Flashback) Mitsuya
What? Wow.
[01:51] (Flashback) Mitsuya
That must've made it
even harder to understand.
[01:53] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Where are you from?
[01:54] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Oita.
[01:56] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Is that why your backpack's so big?
[01:58] (Flashback) Wadagaki
I even packed everything I need.
[02:01] (Flashback) Mitsuya
What? Really?
[02:03] (Flashback) Wadagaki
You didn't bring anything?
[02:05] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Oh, right. I didn't notice.
[02:11] (Flashback) Wadagaki
You seem so calm. You're not nervous at all.
[02:18] (Flashback) Mitsuya
I actually just noticed
since you mentioned it,
[02:21] (Flashback) Mitsuya
but I seem to have forgotten my bag
at home because I was so nervous.
[02:30] (Flashback) Wadagaki
What? Seriously?
[02:33] (Flashback) Mitsuya
I'm Mitsuya Yuki. Nice to meet you.
[02:36] (Flashback) Wadagaki
I thought if I became an idol
I'd be able to meet my dad.
[02:39] (Flashback) Mitsuya
That's a nice dream.
I'm sure it'll come true.
[02:45] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Why did you audition, Mitsuya-san?
[02:48] (Flashback) Mitsuya
I think my reason's a bit like yours.
[02:51] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Like my father, I wanted to
make people laugh and cry.
[02:56] (Flashback) Mitsuya
I wanted to get a job in entertainment
that would let me move people's hearts.
[03:01] (Flashback) Wadagaki
That's amazing! Your dad's an entertainer?
[03:04] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Oh, but I didn't tell him I'm auditioning.
[03:07] (Flashback) Mitsuya
My father said he'd introduce me
to some people in the business he knows,
[03:11] (Flashback) Mitsuya
but then I wouldn't be
doing it myself, you know?
[03:14] (Flashback) Wadagaki
That sounds like a wasted opportunity.
[03:16] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Not at all.
[03:18] (Flashback) Mitsuya
I don't want people to say I only
got the job because of my father.
[03:21] (Flashback) Mitsuya
He honed his art all on his own.
[03:26] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Huh.
[03:27] (Flashback) Wadagaki
I'm kind of jealous.
[03:30] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Oh, sorry. I shouldn't have said all that.
[03:32] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Sorry. Forget what I said.
[03:35] (Flashback) Wadagaki
It's totally fine. I'm used to it.
[03:41] (Flashback) Mitsuya
It'd be great if we both passed the audition.
[03:46] (Flashback) Wadagaki
I had the same thought!
[03:48] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Really?
[04:19] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Sorry, I know this was sudden!
[04:21] (Flashback) Wadagaki
It's fine.
[04:23] (Flashback) Wadagaki
I was glad to hear from you, Mitsuya-san.
[04:27] (Flashback) Mitsuya
So, listen...
[04:29] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Yeah?
[04:30] (Flashback) Mitsuya
I got a call after that.
[04:32] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Yeah.
[04:33] (Flashback) Mitsuya
They called me in for a final screening.
[04:36] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Really? That's great!
[04:38] (Flashback) Mitsuya
I wanted to tell you in person.
[04:43] (Flashback) Mitsuya
What about you, Sakura-chan?
Did you get your results yet?
[04:45] (Flashback) Wadagaki
No, nothing.
[04:48] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Then you still have a chance.
[04:49] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Really?
[04:50] (Flashback) Mitsuya
They're still deciding.
They didn't tell me anything else.
[04:55] (Flashback) Mitsuya
But I'm sure you'd pass another audition.
[04:59] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Yeah. I'm broke, so I can't
even go back home now.
[05:05] (Flashback) Mitsuya
If it comes to it, I'll ask
my father if he has any ideas.
[05:09] (Flashback) Wadagaki
What does your dad do?
[05:12] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Oh, right. Sorry.
[05:15] (Flashback) Wadagaki
You don't have to hide it.
[05:17] (Flashback) Mitsuya
It's embarrassing.
[05:20] (Flashback) Wadagaki
What? Why? You should hold your head high.
[05:23] (Flashback) Wadagaki
You passed the audition on your own merits.
[05:27] (Flashback) Mitsuya
My dad is a storyteller.
Do you know about rakugo?
[05:31] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Yeah.
[05:32] (Flashback) Mitsuya
He's on TV a lot.
[05:35] (Flashback) Mitsuya
He had a reputation for casually
saying things that upset people,
[05:38] (Flashback) Mitsuya
so I was a little embarrassed about it.

Mitsuya-san.
[08:10] (Flashback) Yamamoto
What?
[08:11] (Flashback) Wadagaki
What about Mitsuya-san?
[08:12] (Flashback) Yamamoto
Mitsuya?
[08:13] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Um...
[08:14] (Flashback) Ichimura
Come on. Let's go.
[08:17] (Flashback) Yamamoto
Oh, right. I remember now.
[08:21] (Flashback) Yamamoto
You were the runner-up behind Mitsuya.
[08:25] (Flashback) Yamamoto
You were so close.
If only you had a bit more charm.
[08:28] (Flashback) Yamamoto
Oh, I know. We're going to
hold another audition.
[08:31] (Flashback) Yamamoto
Why don't you practice until then?
[08:34] (Flashback) Yamamoto
I'll be in touch. Thanks.
[08:38] (Flashback) Yamamoto
Let's get going.
[08:52] (Flashback) Teacher
Take a 15-minute break, and then we'll
check your formation on the next pass.
[08:57] (Flashback) All
Okay.
[08:58] (Flashback) Ichimura
That girl was kind of crazy.
[09:00] (Flashback) Nikaido
Who?
[09:01] (Flashback) Ichimura
She was so desperate to know why she failed.
[09:04] (Flashback) Nikaido
What? Of course she was desperate.
What's crazy about that?
[09:08] (Flashback) Nikaido
You know, your dancing is sloppy,
and you're not getting any better.
[09:13] (Flashback) Nikaido
Do you even want to do this?
[09:16] (Flashback) Ichimura
My house is too cramped
to practice on my own.
[09:18] (Flashback) Nikaido
Oh, really? That must be so hard for you.
[09:22] (Flashback) Nikaido
You're full of excuses. That other girl
was way more motivated than you.
[09:25] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Hey, come on.
[09:27] (Flashback) Ichimura
Is this really worth getting worked up about?
[09:29] (Flashback) Nikaido
If you're so unmotivated,
why don't you just quit?
[09:31] (Flashback) Ichimura
I told you, my family's actually really poor.
[09:35] (Flashback) Ichimura
I need the money, so I'm not quitting.
[09:37] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Quit it, you two.
[09:39] (Flashback) Ichimura
You know, you talk about auditioning, but
you've known the manager for a long time.
[09:46] (Flashback) Ichimura
Sounds super shady to me.
[09:48] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Hey, come on. The three of us
are going to be a team.
[09:52] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Let's try to work together, okay?
[09:53] (Flashback) Nikaido
Why should I? I don't have time for that.
[09:57] (Flashback) Ichimura
I've been trying to this whole time.
[09:59] (Flashback) Ichimura
We've been forced to bend to her every whim.
[10:01] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Maybe, but we're going to have to
work together like this for a while.
[10:05] (Flashback) Nikaido
You're too soft. Someone needs
to give it to her straight.
[10:15] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Fine. Then you should go solo, Nikaido-san.
[10:19] (Flashback) Mitsuya
I want to go as far as I can with this team.
[10:23] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Maybe it's selfish,
[10:26] (Flashback) Mitsuya
but I understand how both of you feel,
and I want to respect that.
[10:35] (Flashback) Nikaido
What's your deal?
[10:38] (Flashback) Teacher
If anything comes up,
let me know by call or text.
[10:40] (Flashback) Both
Good night.
[10:42] (Flashback) Teacher
Good night.
[10:43] (Flashback) Nikaido
Good night.
[10:51] (Flashback) Nikaido
Here.
[10:53] (Flashback) Ichimura
What?
[10:55] (Flashback) Nikaido
Sorry about earlier.
[10:56] (Flashback) Ichimura
Nikaido-san, you eat this stuff, too?
[10:59] (Flashback) Nikaido
Today is special.
[11:02] (Flashback) Ichimura
Thanks.
[11:03] (Flashback) Nikaido
Why did you two want to become idols?
[11:09] (Flashback) Ichimura
I don't have my own room at home.
[11:12] (Flashback) Ichimura
The bathtub's the only place
I can call my own.
[11:15] (Flashback) Ichimura
So I want to move to a place with a huge tub.
[11:18] (Flashback) Ichimura
In other words, I want to be rich.
[11:22] (Flashback) Nikaido
Huh, I see.
[11:25] (Flashback) Nikaido
You won't be able to afford a big tub
if you're barely managing the choreography.
[11:29] (Flashback) Nikaido
I wish you at least wouldn't
hold me or Mitsuya-san back.
[11:33] (Flashback) Ichimura
Sorry.
[11:35] (Flashback) Nikaido
You're struggling with the B part, right?
I'll show you a trick to doing it.
[11:41] (Flashback) Ichimura
Thanks, I think.
[11:44] (Flashback) Ichimura
What about you, Mitsuya-san?
[11:47] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Why an idol?
[11:48] (Flashback) Ichimura
Yeah.
[11:52] (Flashback) Mitsuya
From watching my dad, I think.
[11:57] (Flashback) Nikaido
God, just how much of a good girl are you?
[12:00] (Flashback) Mitsuya
You think?
[12:01] (Flashback) Ichimura
There aren't many girls like you these days.
[12:04] (Flashback) Cameraman
Okay, let's try smiling more now.
[12:07] (Flashback) Cameraman
Nice. Could you come forward?
[12:12] (Flashback) Cameraman
This girl's got a powerful aura.
[12:15] (Flashback) Cameraman
She's gonna be big.
[12:18] (Flashback) Yamamoto
I know Nikaido is a winner, too.
[12:21] (Flashback) Yamamoto
Actually, since her previous agency—
[12:23] (Flashback) Cameraman
Oh, not her. This girl.
[12:28] (Flashback) Cameraman
This Mitsuya girl.
[12:31] (Flashback) Yamamoto
Oh, yeah.
[12:33] (Flashback) Cameraman
It's like she's on another level.
[12:37] (Flashback) Producer
Like I told you before, Yamamoto-chan...
[12:40] (Flashback) Yamamoto
Yes.
[12:41] (Flashback) Producer
I feel like Mitsuya-san was born
with something different.
[12:47] (Flashback) Producer
She's gonna turn into something incredible.
[12:49] (Flashback) President
Sounds good to me.
[12:51] (Flashback) President
Nikaido's talented. As long as she
supports her, they'll make a good team.
[12:56] (Flashback) President
Good morning. Good to see you again.
[12:58] (Flashback) All
Good morning.
[12:59] (Flashback) President
Good morning.
[13:00] (Flashback) Mitsuya
What? A debut tour?
[13:03] (Flashback) Yamamoto
Yeah. I worked really hard for this.
[13:05] (Flashback) Ichimura
But I still don't have
the choreography down yet.
[13:09] (Flashback) Yamamoto
Oh, uh...
[13:11] (Flashback) Nikaido
What is this?
[13:13] (Flashback) Yamamoto
Oh, um...
[13:19] (Flashback) Yamamoto
That's the artist photo we're gonna go with.
[13:23] (Flashback) President
Be direct with them, Yamamoto-kun.
Mitsuya is going to be the center.
[13:27] (Flashback) President
You girls back her up
and make Mystery Kiss big.
[13:29] Sign
MAIN A Photo
[13:32] (Flashback) Yamamoto
Thank you.
[13:34] (Flashback) Producer
Let's book all the domes. All of them!
[13:44] (Flashback) Nikaido
What's the meaning of this?
[13:48] (Flashback) Yamamoto
Sorry, but the situation has changed.
[13:51] (Flashback) Nikaido
This isn't what you promised!
[13:53] (Flashback) Yamamoto
Let me explain it to you sometime.
[14:07] (Flashback) Mitsuya
I'm home!
[14:10] (Flashback) Kumiko
How could you be so selfish?
[14:12] (Flashback) Donraku
I'm discussing it with you
right now, aren't I?
[14:14] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Dad, are you home?
[14:17] (Flashback) Donraku
I think Yuki's ready to meet them.
[14:20] (Flashback) Kumiko
This is a difficult time for Yuki.
She can't do that.
[14:25] (Flashback) Kumiko
Besides, if people find out about
your relationships from that time—oh?
[14:32] (Flashback) Kumiko
Yuki?
[14:37] (Flashback) Kumiko
Say something if you're home.
[14:51] Sakurai
You're one of the top ten most
streamed artists in Japan right now.
[14:55] Sakurai
That's incredible.
[14:57] Ichimura
Because of the incident,
not because of our talent.
[15:00] Sakurai
So, have you given any thought to the future?
[15:04] Wadagaki
Yes. I came here today with the intention
of signing on with your agency.
[15:09] Ichimura
Me, too.
[15:10] Sakurai
I actually put together a plan for your
future activities and upcoming schedule.
[15:16] Wadagaki
Wow.
[15:17] Ichimura
That said, I'm not ready yet emotionally—
[15:19] Sakurai
We're currently negotiating
for you to keep your name.
[15:22] Sakurai
You'd be either the New Mystery Kiss or this.
SIGN Kiss Miss
[15:27] Ichimura
What? Ugh, no way.
[15:30] Wadagaki
I certainly hope we can!
[15:33] Wadagaki
Oh, would I continue using
the same stage name?
[15:36] Sakurai
What? You mean Mitsuya Yuki?
[15:40] Wadagaki
Yes.
[15:41] Sakurai
I don't know about that.
[15:45] Wadagaki
Then could I get an advance on my rent?
[15:51] Sakurai
Yeah, sure.
[15:53] Sakurai
I look forward to working with you.
[15:56] Wadagaki
Yeah!
[15:57] Ichimura
It's strange, isn't it?
SIGN Lost Cat!
[15:59] Ichimura
Nobody paid attention to us before.
[16:03] Wadagaki
But I'm glad things turned out this way.
[16:07] Ichimura
You are? I didn't like it before,
but now I want to wear a mask again.
[16:14] Ichimura
I'd rather appear on TV
without being recognized.
[16:18] Ichimura
Lately I feel like all kinds of people
are watching me, and it's scary.
[16:22] Wadagaki
Isn't that what it means to be an idol?
[16:27] Ichimura
You mentioned wanting to
keep using Mitsuya-san's name.
[16:35] Wadagaki
Can't I?
[16:36] Ichimura
You were serious? Isn't that kind of crazy?
[16:43] Wadagaki
Hey. Time to eat.
[17:12] Narration
At first glance, they seemed
to be enjoying brilliant careers
[17:15] Narration
in the entertainment industry,
but on the inside...
SIGN On the inside—
[17:20] Ichimura
I realized something.
[17:22] Ichimura
We couldn't stay here and keep
allowing ourselves to be exploited.
[17:27] Ichimura
That's why we took our masks off.
[17:32] Ichimura
We want people to see our real faces.
[17:35] Ichimura
It was a difficult time.
[17:37] Ichimura
I thought I'd become an idol, but
not only was I forced to wear a mask,
[17:41] Ichimura
I had to get dinner every night
with a strange man my father's age.
[17:47] Ichimura
I was paid to do it.
[17:50] Wadagaki
Sorry.
[17:54] Wadagaki
My dad abandoned my mom a long time ago.
[17:58] Wadagaki
I've never met my real father.
[18:02] Wadagaki
That's why I decided to become an idol.
[18:09] Wadagaki
If you're watching this, Dad, contact me.
[18:13] Rena
I knew they'd be on their guard.
[18:16] Rena
So, you were questioned?
[18:18] Sato
I made it through that fine,
but I heard something interesting.
[18:23] Sato
A few stray cats have died
around that apartment.
[18:28] Sato
What are you looking at?
[18:29] Rena
The video we took that day.
[18:31] Rena
Watch the office.
[18:34] Sato
The lights are on.
[18:36] Rena
And then they go out.
[18:39] Sato
Huh? Wait a minute.
[18:45] Rena
Hey! What are you doing?
[18:46] Sato
Found it.
[18:50] Rena
Do you always have to be so loud?
[18:53] Sato
This is before Nikaido entered the office.
[18:55] Sato
23:47. 23:21.
[18:58] Rena
Huh? You're right.
[18:58] Otani
Hello? One moment, please.
[18:59] Sato
Which means...
[18:59] Rena
What does it mean?
[19:01] Sato
Rena-chan, phone for you. It's Donraku-san.
[19:22] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Huh? Sakura-chan?
[19:25] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Mitsuya-san, why are you here?
[19:28] (Flashback) Mitsuya
What are you doing here?
[19:32] (Flashback) Wadagaki
I don't have anywhere to stay right now.
[19:35] (Flashback) Mitsuya
What? Do you want to stay at my place, then?
[19:40] (Flashback) Wadagaki
You're a really nice person.
[19:43] (Flashback) Wadagaki
I'm flat broke.
[19:45] (Flashback) Wadagaki
I figured I'd be lucky
if I could spend one night here.
[19:49] (Flashback) Wadagaki
It was pouring earlier, you know?
[19:51] (Flashback) Wadagaki
I jumped into a taxi.
[19:54] (Flashback) Wadagaki
I didn't think I'd be able
to get in so easily.
[19:58] (Flashback) Mitsuya
You don't have a home?
[20:00] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Not right now, so I'm prepared
to live anywhere.
[20:05] (Flashback) Mitsuya
We exchanged contact information.
You could've called me anytime.
[20:11] (Flashback) Wadagaki
What are you doing here
at this hour, Mitsuya-san?
[20:14] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Oh...
[20:14] (Flashback) Wadagaki
It's not work, is it?
[20:19] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Nikaido-san asked me to come.
[20:21] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Nikaido?
[20:23] (Flashback) Mitsuya
She's a girl in my group.
[20:25] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Huh. Why?
[20:28] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Probably because I might become the center.
[20:32] (Flashback) Wadagaki
The center?
[20:34] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Yeah.
[20:35] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Nikaido-san's been doing this a long time,
so I think she assumed it would be her.
[20:42] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Oh, so you stole the best position from her.
[20:47] (Flashback) Mitsuya
I didn't take anything from her.
[20:50] (Flashback) Mitsuya
I don't really get it either,
[20:52] (Flashback) Mitsuya
but it's people like the producer
who make those decisions.
[20:57] (Flashback) Mitsuya
I'm hoping we can talk it out
and resolve any misunderstandings.
[21:00] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Is it really a misunderstanding?
[21:04] (Flashback) Mitsuya
I'm glad you're here, though.
[21:07] (Flashback) Mitsuya
I felt anxious on my way here.
[21:12] (Flashback) Mitsuya
Ever since we met, for some reason
I've felt strangely at ease when I'm with you.
[21:23] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Huh.
[21:26] (Flashback) Mitsuya
I wonder if Nikaido-san will get here soon.
[21:58] (Flashback) Wadagaki
I was supposed to become you.
[22:17] Yamamoto
Hello? Is this Wadagaki Sakura-san's phone?
[22:23] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Who is this?
[22:27] Yamamoto
I'm Yamamoto of Gray Dog, Inc.
[22:30] Yamamoto
I wanted to discuss something with you.
[22:33] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Yamamoto-san? I don't know
what you're talking about.
[22:39] Yamamoto
What? That's odd.
Didn't you audition with us?
[22:43] Yamamoto
Did you join another agency after that?
[22:47] (Flashback) Wadagaki
What? No, nothing like that.
[22:50] Yamamoto
If you haven't changed your mind, I'd like
to meet with you in person and talk again.
[22:58] (Flashback) Wadagaki
Really?
[22:59] Sato
Are you really quitting?

[00:03] Ibusuki
When did you receive these messages?
[00:05] Manager
Just yesterday.
[00:07] Manager
She's claiming to be his
18-year-old biological child.
[00:10] Manager
This is a threat.
[00:11] Manager
She wants to meet in person to confirm their
relationship, or she'll ruin the performance.
[00:17] Sato
Scary.
[00:18] Manager
We've experienced weird messages
and unhinged fans before,
[00:23] Manager
but this isn't a good time for that.
[00:26] Ibusuki
You need the police or a lawyer.
We can't do anything for you.
[00:30] Manager
We've received a ton
of nonsensical messages.
[00:34] Manager
The police think it's some kind of prank
and won't do anything about it.
[00:38] Donraku
There's nothing they can do if it's
just threats to ruin the show.
[00:44] Donraku
Since Yuki's death, I've been receiving
more messages slandering me.
[00:49] Sato
The entertainment industry sounds rough.
[00:51] Manager
But thankfully, we've been getting more
supportive and encouraging messages as well.
[00:56] Donraku
People have always sent me their thoughts
on my shows or new rakugo scripts.
[01:03] Donraku
But this is no joke.
[01:06] Donraku
I guess the silver lining is that I don't know
the first thing about computers.
[01:11] Donraku
The most I do is occasionally
check my own videos.
[01:13] Sato
What? You mean you don't write
your own posts on social media?
[01:16] Donraku
This guy writes all of them.
[01:18] Sato
What?
[01:19] Manager
Since we spend so much time together,
I can guess what he'd say.
[01:22] Donraku
If I really got into it, it'd get out of hand.
[01:27] Sato
Actually, sometimes you get flamed pretty—
[01:29] Ibusuki
Enough about that.
[01:31] Rena
Any idea who it might be?
[01:33] Donraku
Don't tell my wife.
[01:36] Donraku
I don't want to put anymore
emotional strain on her.
[01:40] Rena
You know who it is?
[01:42] Manager
A secret lovechild.
[01:44] Donraku
It's not a secret anymore, though.
[01:47] Donraku
And I only have one child
outside my marriage.
[01:53] Donraku
A man who grew up a long time ago.
[02:02] Sato
Hello.
[02:13] Wadagaki
Why is this happening?
[02:16] Wadagaki
It's not my fault, right?
[02:25] Sato
Hello?
[02:28] Sato
What? Odokawa-san's...
[02:30] Taeko
My place has been empty.
[02:33] Taeko
Once you're out of the hospital,
you need to stop by for drinks.
[02:37] Rena
Excuse us.
[02:39] Imai
What? Rena-chan?
[02:41] Odokawa
Sorry, who are you?
[02:45] Rena
The rabbit from Imai-san's cabaret club.
[02:48] Rena
I think you called me a Polish.
[02:52] Odokawa
Oh, right.
[02:53] Rena
Do you remember who you
drove on October 4th?
[02:58] Odokawa
That girl from Mystery Kiss. The black cat.
[03:02] Sato
Is this her?
[03:04] Odokawa
I don't know. It doesn't match up
with people's faces.
[03:08] Rena
Do you not remember Wadagaki Sakura's face?
[03:13] Imai
Rena-chan, that's enough. I don't
want to cause him anymore trouble.
[03:18] Rena
But if Odokawa-san is the only witness—
[03:21] Imai
It's okay. I'll protect Odokawa-sama.
[03:25] Imai
I owe him for getting my billion yen back.
[03:28] Imai
You can count on me. Okay?
[03:30] Rena
This is what I've investigated...
[03:33] Rena
I summarized everything
I know about Yuki.
[03:34] Nakamine
Huh.
[03:40] Sato
Look at this right here.
[03:43] Sato
See? It went out.
[03:44] Nakamine
You're trying to say someone entered
the office before them, right?
[03:46] Sato
Yes.
[03:48] Nakamine
You can certainly see a silhouette, but...
[03:51] Rena
I saw the news.
[03:52] Rena
They say something might've
happened before Nikaido arrived.
[03:57] Nakamine
You mean someone else might've killed her.
[04:00] Nakamine
This backs up the time Nikaido gave, huh?
[04:04] Rena
Isn't Nikaido Rui saying the same thing?
[04:07] Nakamine
She's got nerves of steel.
She's never changed her story.
[04:11] Rena
She hasn't committed murder. Am I wrong?
[04:13] Fujiki
Abandoning a body is still a crime.
[04:17] Rena
Someone else killed Yuki.
[04:22] Rena
There's the messages Donraku-san received
and Odokawa-san's testimony.
[04:27] Rena
They should be on the dash
cam data you collected, too.
[04:31] Sato
Wadagaki Sakura said on TV
that she's looking for her father.
[04:36] Fujiki
Hang on, do you really think this
is something you can figure out?
[04:40] Fujiki
That driver has visual agnosia, doesn't he?
[04:45] Fujiki
That casts doubt on his eyewitness testimony.
[04:49] Sato
But we've brought you evidence.
[04:52] Fujiki
Okay.
[04:55] Sato
We're getting nowhere. Let's go, Rena-san.
[04:57] Fujiki
We've already got plenty of evidence,
so take this with you.
[05:01] All
Thank you.
[05:04] Odokawa
I told you, you don't have to come with me.
[05:06] Odokawa
If someone were trying to kill me,
I'd already be dead.
[05:09] Imai
Then I'll hire a bodyguard for you
for as long as I can afford it.
[05:13] Odokawa
I won't be able to work with a bodyguard.
[05:17] Odokawa
I appreciate everything you've done,
but leave me alone.
[05:33] Donraku
Will she really come?
[05:35] Rena
It's worth a shot.

[05:43] Rena
Are you sick?
[05:45] Sato
Don't you have a bad feeling about this?
[05:47] Sato
Remember that analysis we asked
Sekido-san to run the other day?
[05:51] Rena
What?
[05:52] Sato
On Wadagaki's cat food.
[05:54] Rena
Oh, right. The one full of fertilizer?
[05:56] Sato
Yeah, that.
[05:58] Sato
I licked a little while I was on a stakeout.
[06:03] Rena
What are you doing?
[06:04] Sato
Actually, I ate it.
[06:07] Wadagaki
Dad!
[06:08] Sato
She's here.
[06:09] Rena
What?
[06:10] Sato
Wadagaki.
[06:11] Wadagaki
Dad.
[06:15] Wadagaki
You're not him.
[06:17] Rena
Wadagaki-san.
[06:19] Wadagaki
Rena-chan? What are you doing here?
[06:22] Rena
I came to stop you.
[06:25] Wadagaki
Stop me? From doing what?
[06:27] Rena
It's not too late to turn back.
[06:31] Wadagaki
Where's my dad? Where's Donraku-san?
[06:34] Wadagaki
I just wanted to meet him once.
[06:37] Rena
He doesn't remember you.
[06:39] Wadagaki
I see. I've heard he
has kids all over the place.
[06:44] Rena
But Donraku's only daughter was Yuki.
[06:51] Wadagaki
Has he forgotten about me?
[06:54] Rena
He didn't forget about you.
[06:58] Rena
Listen, Wadagaki-san.
I don't have parents, either.
[07:06] Rena
But I've managed somehow. You could still—
[07:09] Wadagaki
You're not even an idol. You're nothing.
[07:11] Wadagaki
I have to do whatever it takes
to make my dream come true.
[07:15] Rena
It already came true.
[07:17] Wadagaki
Not yet. I need to make sure.
[07:20] Rena
So you're okay with killing people?
[07:23] Wadagaki
That's what my mom said, though.
[07:27] Wadagaki
That I'd make a good idol.
[07:31] Rena
What?
[07:34] Wadagaki
Stay out of my way.
[07:39] Sato
Watch out!
[07:41] Rena
Hey! Sato! Sato!
[07:48] Rena
Wait!
[07:50] Wadagaki
Hurry up, hurry up!
[07:58] Rena
Wait! Wait!
[08:08] Wadagaki
Hello, Mom?
[08:11] Wadagaki
I thought I'd get to see Dad,
but it didn't work out.
[08:15] Mom
Dad?
[08:17] Wadagaki
Isn't my dad Donraku-san?
The rakugo storyteller.
[08:21] Wadagaki
I finally got in touch with him.
[08:24] Mom
There you go again.
[08:27] Mom
More importantly,
I saw you on TV again today.
[08:30] Mom
You should go back to
wearing the purple outfit.
[08:34] Wadagaki
I understand you don't want
to talk about it, but...
[08:38] Mom
I don't want to hear about Donraku.
[08:42] Wadagaki
I knew it.
[08:43] Mom
Have you forgotten?
[08:45] Mom
I've been saying that for your sake,
so why are you digging up the past now?
[08:49] Wadagaki
What?
[08:51] Mom
Your dad left us because he admired Donraku.
[08:57] Mom
Seeing Donraku reminded you of
your father. It's hard for me, too.
[09:02] Mom
You understand that, don't you?
He left me to take care of you by myself.
[09:10] Wadagaki
Hey Mom, that can't be right!
[09:13] Mom
Enough! No more of this talk.
[09:15] Mom
Why do you think I let you go to Tokyo?
[09:17] Mom
It certainly wasn't to look for your father!
[09:21] Mom
I entrusted all my dreams to you.
[09:26] Mom
I'm disappointed.
[09:38] Wadagaki
Yeah, I transferred to a bigger agency.
[09:44] Wadagaki
Yeah. Things are going so well,
it's almost scary.
[09:47] Wadagaki
At first, I hounded the manager
after I failed an audition.
[09:52] Wadagaki
Thinking about it now makes me laugh.
[09:55] Wadagaki
I was frustrated, though.
[09:58] Wadagaki
If they hadn't become famous after that,
I think I would've been content.
[10:02] Wadagaki
But when I heard they'd be making their
major debut, I couldn't sit still anymore.
[10:08] Wadagaki
Yeah, everything's going well.
[10:12] Wadagaki
All I headed out to do was find the taxi
I rode in then, but I think I found it.
[10:19] Wadagaki
It was a total coincidence.
I must be lucky after all.
[10:24] Wadagaki
Everything's going my way.
[10:27] Wadagaki
Like you said, I'm gonna do whatever it takes
to make my dream come true.

[10:41] Man A
Hello.
[10:41] Man B
Long time, no see.
[10:43] Man B
Where have you been?
[10:44] Kakihana
Uh, in the hospital? I've got a bad back.
[10:51] Man B
You still owe us a lot of money.
[10:54] Kakihana
I'll pay you this week.
[10:58] Man A
Let's go.
[10:58] Kakihana
Wait.
[11:00] Kakihana
I promise I'll pay you back
by the end of the month.
[11:23] Odokawa
Where to?
[11:30] Odokawa
Where to?
[11:33] Wadagaki
It suddenly started raining that day, too.
[11:37] Wadagaki
I hopped into the first taxi I saw.
[11:41] Wadagaki
You don't remember me?
[11:45] Odokawa
Sorry.
[11:48] Wadagaki
It's fine. I just thought you'd
freak out a little more.
[11:54] Odokawa
So, where to?
[11:58] Wadagaki
Here's fine.
[11:59] Odokawa
"Here's fine"?
[12:01] Wadagaki
Yeah, here's fine.
[12:04] Wadagaki
The city's full of cameras, you know?
[12:11] Odokawa
Cameras?
[12:14] Man B
Where's the guy with the money?
[12:16] Kakihana
He'll be here soon. Yup.
[12:17] Man B
Shut your face.
[12:18] Man A
You're not making any sense.
[12:19] Wadagaki
All I've got is my good luck.
[12:23] Odokawa
Oh, yeah? I'm lucky, too.
[12:25] Wadagaki
Then it's my luck against your luck.
[12:30] Kakihana
Odokawa, I gotta ask you for a—
[12:38] Rena
What? Hey, wait!

When he saw his taxi driver friend
being attacked by a suspicious person,
SIGN Letter of Appreciation
Kakihana Eiji-dono
[12:43] Caster
he risked his life to defend—
[12:47] Sekido
Nice work.
[12:49] Rena
I came today because
I'm quitting the agency soon.
[12:56] Sekido
It's all there. Are you
paying for this yourself?
[13:01] Rena
Thank you for everything you've done.
[13:04] Rena
Anyway, I'd like to dispose of the GPS
and stuff you installed for me before.
[13:09] Sato
Oh, crap. I forgot about that.
[13:12] Sekido
I already took care of it.
[13:14] Sekido
I can't believe you turned it in
to the police as evidence.
[13:18] Sekido
I'm getting reamed from all directions
because of you two.
[13:22] Rena
I'm really sorry.
[13:23] Sato
Sorry.
[13:26] Sekido
By the way, did you look through
all the data I gave you before?
[13:30] Sekido
From the dead high school girl's phone.
[13:33] Rena
No. I thought it would be too painful.
[13:37] Sekido
But there's something you've
gotta do before you quit.
[13:40] Rena
What?
[13:51] Kumiko
He's stubborn, isn't he?
[13:53] Kumiko
He never listens to me.
[13:56] Rena
You're really not going to do it?
[14:00] Kanon
Is the naming really that big a deal?
[14:04] Donraku
I'm just reaping what I sowed.
[14:09] Donraku
I doubt the world will forgive me.
[14:15] Kanon
Who cares about the world?
[14:17] Kanon
You should do what you want.
[14:21] Rena
I think Yuki would be sad to hear that.
[14:25] Donraku
I've got too many things I can't say.
[14:29] Donraku
In public I act like I say whatever I want,
[14:33] Donraku
but I had too many secrets
I didn't want Yuki to know.
[14:38] Donraku
I wish I could've talked to her more
while she was still alive.
[14:45] Rena
This is the data that was on Yuki's phone.
[14:50] Rena
I think you could wait to decide
until after you've seen it.
[15:30] Mitsuya
Can you see me?
[15:44] Mitsuya
Can you see me?
[15:48] Mitsuya
Wow, what a personal question.
[15:58] Mitsuya
My family is... kind of complicated.
[16:04] Mitsuya
My dad is a distinguished man, and
my mom basically raised me on her own.
[16:11] Mitsuya
That makes her pretty great, too.
[16:15] Mitsuya
Since coming to Tokyo, I've had more
opportunities to spend time with him.
[16:20] Mitsuya
I really wish we could all live together.
[16:25] Mitsuya
There's always been distance
between us and my dad,
[16:30] Mitsuya
and my mom and I used to fight
about it all the time.
[16:35] Mitsuya
Once, my mom was so angry that she only
put rice and pickled plums in my lunch.
[16:45] Mitsuya
My dad's experienced a lot
of twists along his road, but...
[16:56] Mitsuya
I've seen how he keeps
plugging along despite it.
[17:03] Mitsuya
Now I wish I could see
the same sights he does,
[17:11] Mitsuya
and I'd be happy if he worked even harder
[17:15] Mitsuya
to show our family even
more incredible sights.
[17:27] Ibusuki
If you ever feel like coming back,
we'd love to have you.
[17:35] Rena
I'm off.
[17:36] Otani
See you later.
[17:44] Sato
Rena-san!
[17:49] Sato
You're quitting? For real?
[17:50] Rena
For real, yeah.
[17:53] Sato
Will I ever see you again?
[17:57] Rena
Oh, right. Are you interested in rakugo?
[18:02] Sato
What?
SIGN Shofutei Hiraku
[18:03] Sato
Hey, we're sitting next to each other! Nice!
[18:07] Rena
Yeah, because I bought the tickets together.
[18:08] Otani
Sorry I'm late.
[18:10] Otani
I managed to finish up and make it here.
[18:12] Rena
Thank you.
[18:13] Sato
What? It's not just us today?
[18:14] Otani
What? I was originally supposed
to go with just Rena-chan.
[18:15] Kanon
Hello!
[18:19] Otani
Nice to meet you. You're so cute!
[18:20] Sato
Wow, looks like everyone's here.
[18:23] Rena
Shall we?
[18:25] Sato
I guess I'll sit—
[18:26] Otani
Oof.
[18:28] Sato
Excuse me, Rena-san.
[18:29] Rena
Our seats are great.
[18:30] Otani
Yeah.
SIGN Shofutei
Hiraku
[18:36] Donraku
All day and night, the news has been
digging into my family matters,
[18:41] Donraku
so I didn't think anyone would show up today.
[18:45] Donraku
But if this many of you have gathered here,
[18:47] Donraku
then it's like they say. Another man's
misfortune is like honey.
[18:53] Donraku
Looks like a lot of people
wanted to see Donraku squirm.
[18:59] Donraku
No, wait. I'm not Donraku anymore.
[19:03] Donraku
I've been given the great
name of Shofutei Hiraku.
[19:08] Donraku
That makes me the third.
[19:10] Donraku
I've been named a tomena of my school.
[19:12] Donraku
A tomena is the biggest name within
a school. The final destination.
[19:17] Donraku
So all that's left is for the name to die.
[19:20] Fan
Hey, Hiraku!
[19:21] Donraku
Thank you.
[19:22] Donraku
It used to be that out of "drink,
play, buy," I used to do all three.
[19:31] Donraku
Because of that, people would tease me
[19:35] Donraku
by saying the characters in my
name meant I fall into my drink.
[19:40] Donraku
But now, I'm clean. I'm all clean.
[19:43] Donraku
A lot of people used to say my
drinking would get me into trouble.
[19:50] Donraku
People say all kinds of things,
like alcohol is an addiction,
[19:52] Donraku
it's the best medicine,
it'll take years off your life.
[19:55] Donraku
But when it becomes a bad habit,
it destroys everything around you.
[20:00] Donraku
There used to be a man named Kumagoro.
He was a skilled carpenter.
[20:05] Donraku
He was a good person
as long as he didn't drink.
[20:10] Donraku
One day he headed out to a funeral
at a temple in Sanya.
[20:14] Donraku
Typically they don't
serve alcohol at funerals,
[20:16] Donraku
but accommodating temples will
serve alcohol and call it "hannyato."
[20:21] Donraku
He had too much of the stuff
and got good and drunk.
[20:25] Donraku
Feeling magnanimous, he decided
to head out to Yoshiwara,
[20:32] Donraku
where he got to know a working girl.
[20:35] Donraku
He had a wife and kid at home,
so naturally, it led to nonstop fighting.
[20:40] (Flashback) Donraku
Why don't you settle down and come back?
[20:44] (Flashback) Donraku
We can get remarried.
[20:47] (Flashback) Kumiko
This is a difficult time for her, too.
[20:49] (Flashback) Yuki
Hey, I'm actually dealing
with something right now.
[20:52] (Flashback) Kumiko
I'm sorry, Yuki. Were we too loud?
[20:54] (Flashback) Yuki
No. I'm just going out for a walk.
[20:56] (Flashback) Donraku
At this hour? You'll turn into a delinquent.
[20:59] (Flashback) Kumiko
You're one to talk.
[21:02] (Flashback) Donraku
Well, you got me there.
[21:03] (Flashback) Yuki
My friend said she has
something important to discuss.
[21:05] (Flashback) Yuki
I'll be right back.
[21:07] (Flashback) Kumiko
Be careful!
[21:08] (Flashback) Yuki
Okay!
[21:09] (Flashback) Kumiko
You can't just act like her father
out of nowhere.
[21:11] (Flashback) Donraku
You don't have to put it like that.
[21:12] (Flashback) Yuki
Sheesh.
[21:13] Donraku
After all the selfish crap I've done,
I'm in no position to say this,
[21:19] Donraku
but if you want, I'd like the three of us
to live together again like family.
[21:28] Donraku
I'm begging you.
[21:36] Donraku
Are you serious? Really?
[21:42] Donraku
Thank you. I couldn't ask for better.
I'd given up on you.
[21:50] Donraku
Kame-chan, Dad's gonna
come back home for you.
[21:57] Donraku
The three of us can live together again.
[22:00] Donraku
They say children are the clamp that
holds a couple together, but I guess it's true.
[22:07] Donraku
What? I'm a clamp?
[22:10] Donraku
Oh, I get it now. That's why you said
you'll hit me on the head with a hammer.
[22:24] Proctor
That's time. Please set
your writing implements down.
