**[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?

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.

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.

**[16:07] Odokawa**
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.
**[17:10] Woman**
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.

**[19:02] Sato**
Hello.
**[19:06] Sato**
Hello.
**[19:08] Sekido**
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.

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.

**[03:18] Both**

**[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.
***SIGN*** Next Time
**[23:01] Sato**
Turns out he was just an ordinary old man.

**[23:06] Rena**
We all have high hopes for you,
Kabasawa-sama.
**[23:07] Yamamoto**
What is it, driver?
**[23:08] Odokawa**
I feel like I've seen her before.

I keep thinking, "What if I win?"

I'd like to add a sauna to my bathroom.

If we're giving it to him, we should

**[01:09] Donraku**
Sure.
**[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 just a little girl.
**[06:02] Kakihana**
She's still only 18.
**[06:04] Kakihana**
So far we've only exchanged messages,
but we get along great.
**[06:09] Kakihana**
We're supposed to meet up soon.
**[06:12] Odokawa**
But she's too busy to meet, right?
**[06:14] Kakihana**
I know what you're trying to say.
**[06:15] Kakihana**
You think she doesn't exist, don't you?
**[06:18] Kakihana**
She's really real.
***SIGN*** Kakihana-san!! Good luck at work

Are you sure you're not being tricked?

Here you are.

Are you jealous?
**[06:39] Odokawa**
Of course not.
**[06:42] Odokawa**
Think about it. You said so yourself.
**[06:44] Odokawa**
There's no demand for us
in the marriage marketplace.
**[06:47] Kakihana**
I'm telling you, it's the feeling—
**[06:48] Odokawa**
You've never even met her.
How can there be any feeling?
**[06:51] Kakihana**
Look.
**[06:52] Odokawa**
Let me see your profile.
**[06:54] Kakihana**
No.
**[06:56] Odokawa**
Give it.
**[06:56] Kakihana**
Quit it.
**[06:57] Odokawa**
Give it.
**[06:58] Kakihana**
That's my personal information.
**[06:58] Odokawa**
Give it.

But still, I wanna dream.
**[07:12] Dobu**
Ibusuki?
**[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.
**[07:45] Kuroda**
If this is true, I'll have
to offer compensation.
**[07:52] Kuroda**
Don-chan will be dragged into this, too.
**[07:56] Kuroda**
What do you say, Dobu?
Could you clean up my mess again?
**[08:04] Kuroda**
I'm begging you.
**[08:08] Dobu**
You want me to protect Yano?
**[08:12] Kuroda**
Not protect him.
**[08:14] Kuroda**
I'm asking you to let me settle this.
**[08:19] Kuroda**
I'm doing this for your sake, too.
**[08:23] Rena**
Kabasawa-sama?
**[08:24] Kabasawa**
Hey. Rena-chan?
**[08:26] Rena**
Yes.
**[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.
**[08:38] Rena**
No way. You're trying to make
the world a better place.

You deserve this level of luxury.
**[08:47] Bartender**

Oh, I can't drink.
**[08:52] Kabasawa**
You're 19, right?
**[08:53] Rena**
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.
**[11:08] Kabasawa**
Everyone calls me a hero, but
men who fight need breaks, too.
**[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!*
**[14:12] Rena**
Ten...? Hey, wait!
***SIGN*** I've snuck into Dobu's hideout!
**[15:06] Sato**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[15:10] Sato**
Let go!
**[15:11] Sato**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[15:12] Sato**
Mercy! I'm sorry!
**[15:13] Sato**
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
**[15:15] Dobu**
What?
**[15:18] Dobu**
Listen, my boss is trying to
construct a building here.
**[15:24] Dobu**
I know all his henchmen.
**[15:26] Dobu**
Naturally, all the construction
workers are his guys, too.
**[15:36] Dobu**
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**
One, please.
**[12:10] Employee**
Any seat you prefer?
**[12:12] Wadagaki**
911.
***SIGN*** I might be able to get her
real name at reception.
**[12:14] Employee**
911. Got it.
***SIGN*** I might be able to get her
real name at reception.
***SIGN*** Nikaido Rui lives in a luxury high-rise apartment!
**[12:27] Employee**
Here you are.
**[12:28] Wadagaki**
Thank you.
***SIGN*** Nikaido Rui lives in a luxury high-rise apartment!
***SIGN*** She entered a restaurant with a middle-aged man.
**[12:39] Employee**
Can I help you?
***SIGN*** She entered a restaurant with a middle-aged man.
***SIGN*** Bet he's her sugar daddy.
**[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.
**[23:12] Odokawa**
I've never given you a ride, have I?

**[00:08] Rena**
Sorry.
**[00:09] Customer**
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.
**[13:59] Employee**
We're asking for donations.
**[14:00] Kuroda**
Thank you.
**[14:03] Kuroda**
You're drinking again,
aren't you? You gotta quit.
**[14:03] Employee**
Thank you.
**[14:07] Employee**
Children eat for free.
**[14:09] Kuroda**
Here.
**[14:10] Employee**
We're asking for donations, please.
**[14:11] Employee**
Thank you!
**[14:13] Kuroda**
It's warm.
**[14:17] Kuroda**
Here.
**[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.

Calm down.

We're still the only ones

We'll be fine.

Nikaido.
**[00:47] Rena**
Hello, Mitsuya-san?
**[00:50] Wadagaki**
*Why didn't you audition the other day?*
**[00:52] Wadagaki**
*I was looking forward to your performance.*
**[00:55] Rena**
I suddenly felt ill. Maybe I was nervous.
**[01:00] Wadagaki**
*I actually wanted your advice on something.*
**[01:04] Rena**
My advice?
**[01:06] Wadagaki**
* My manager told me to go*
* make some money tonight.*
**[01:12] Wadagaki**
*He said Ichimura-san's doing it, too.*
**[01:14] Rena**
What do you mean?
**[01:16] Wadagaki**
* Apparently she gets paid*
* to eat with old men.*
**[01:20] Wadagaki**
* Does your agency make you do*
* that kind of thing?*
**[01:23] Rena**
I'm not with an agency, but if mine
told me to do that, I'd quit right away.
**[01:29] Wadagaki**
* Right? After all, I joined*
* this agency to become an idol.*
**[01:34] Rena**
Yeah. No one wants to do that.
**[01:36] Wadagaki**
* It's weird, though. Nikaido-san's*
* the only who doesn't have to do it.*
**[01:42] Wadagaki**
* Anyway, what happened with*
* your junior you mentioned after that?*
**[01:47] Rena**
Not much.
**[01:49] Wadagaki**
*I told Nikaido-san about her.*
**[01:52] Rena**
What?
**[01:53] Wadagaki**
*Her reaction was obviously strange.*
**[01:57] Rena**
Strange how?
**[01:59] Wadagaki**
*I guess you could say she seemed flustered.*
**[02:01] Wadagaki**
*In any case, it was weird.*
**[02:04] Rena**
Weird?
**[02:05] Wadagaki**
* And lately our agency's*
* been acting weird, too.*
**[02:08] Wadagaki**
*They told us not to talk to anyone.*
**[02:12] Rena**
Why are you telling me this?
**[02:15] Wadagaki**
* I just came to Tokyo.*
* I don't have anyone to turn to.*
**[02:19] Rena**
I see. That must be disheartening.
**[02:22] Wadagaki**
* What do you do for work, Rena-chan?*
* You're not part of an agency, right?*
**[02:28] Rena**
I'm working another job right now.
Part-time at a cabaret club.
**[02:32] Wadagaki**
*Huh. Really?*

**[03:14] Rena**
Mitsuya-san called me this morning.
**[03:16] Sato**
What? Mitsuya? Wait, what?
**[03:19] Rena**
Of Mystery Kiss.
**[03:21] Sato**
Oh, right.
**[03:22] Rena**
She said Nikaido-san and
her agency were acting weird.
**[03:26] Sato**
Sounds like they're starting to slip up.
**[03:29] Rena**
Yuki had all those incoming
calls from Nikaido Rui.
**[03:32] Sato**
Yeah.
**[03:33] Rena**
I want to see the pictures you
took on your first day of work.
**[03:35] Sato**
Dobu has those.
There's no way to get them now.
**[03:38] Rena**
Who wants those pictures?
**[03:41] Sato**
We do.
**[03:42] Rena**
No, the guy who cheated.
And what does he do for work?

Please return my laptop

You're one persistent bastard, aren't you?
**[04:21] Dobu**
Your laptop broke.
**[04:23] Sato**
What?
**[04:25] Dobu**
*Just kidding.*
**[04:26] Dobu**
I don't have time for that right now.
**[04:31] Rena**
Again.
**[04:40] Sato**
I'll blow up your phone.
**[04:41] Dobu**
*You're a real pain in the ass.*
**[04:43] Dobu**
I'm done with that laptop.
**[04:45] Dobu**
*I'll return it to the banker later.*
**[04:47] Dobu**
*You can negotiate with him.*
**[04:49] Sato**
Return it? But it's my—
I mean, my company's laptop.
**[04:52] Sato**
And later? When and where is that?
**[04:54] Dobu**
*Shut up. I'm busy!*
**[04:56] Dobu**
I'll kill you!

**[05:27] Banker A**
I was worried they'd check
the fake notes. Right?
**[05:32] Kanemaru**
Are we going to be all right? They're not
going to retaliate later, are they?
**[05:35] Dobu**
You'll be fine. Once they lose the

Got it.

Then he can't have gone far.

Hey, wait!
**[07:03] Sato**
Excuse me. Excuse me.
**[07:07] Rena**
Excuse me.
**[07:09] Rena**
Sorry. Wrong person.
**[07:15] Rena**
Hello? I'll be right there.

**[07:43] Kanemaru**
Hey, what are you doing?!
**[07:44] Kanemaru**
Who are you?! The police?!
**[07:46] Sato**
We don't care about your affair!
Someone might've been killed!
**[07:51] Sato**
Be grateful your wife
won't find out you're cheating!
**[07:52] Kanemaru**
What? She won't? Really?!
**[07:54] Rena**
That depends on you.
**[07:57] Kanemaru**
What? Who are you guys?
**[08:00] Kanemaru**
I don't understand.
**[08:01] Rena**
The suspect in another case might be
in the photographic evidence of your affair.
**[08:07] Kanemaru**
What does that have to do with me?
**[08:09] Sato**
How do you weigh a person's life,
an affair, and one billion yen
**[08:14] Sato**
against each other on your scales?
**[08:15] Kanemaru**
What? But you can't weigh three things
against each other on a pair of scales.
**[08:20] Sato**
This guy's joking around.
**[08:21] Kanemaru**
I'm being serious.
**[08:22] Sato**
You think you're worth that much, huh?!
**[08:25] Kanemaru**
Don't get the wrong idea!
**[08:27] Kanemaru**
I'm not getting paid one billion yen.
**[08:29] Kanemaru**
I'm sure they'll get arrested, anyway.
**[08:31] Sato**
So will *you* for doing this.
**[08:34] Kanemaru**
Did you just come here to threaten me?
**[08:37] Kanemaru**
You're just like Dobu.
**[08:40] Sato**
Just like Dobu?! We're not like Dobu!
**[08:42] Rena**
Maybe we are.
**[08:45] Rena**
In the end, maybe
we all commit a little evil.
**[08:49] Rena**
But you regret your actions. So do I.
**[08:55] Rena**
And trying to make up for it
can't be a bad thing.
**[09:06] Sato**
Sorry. I'm really sorry.
**[09:14] Sato**
It's on! Nice.
**[09:18] Sato**
This is it! Found it. I found it.
**[09:26] Sato**
Wait, wait, wait.
**[09:30] Both**
Nikaido Rui.
**[09:32] Rena**
I knew she came to the office
the night of the incident.
**[09:35] Sato**
Where was Mitsuya Yuki-san at this time?
**[09:38] Rena**
Based on her call history, Nikaido invited
her to the agency, so she was there, too?
**[09:43] Sato**
She saw something here and
got caught up in some trouble.
**[09:46] Sato**
Which means Odokawa gave Yuki-san a ride
and dropped her off at the office?
**[09:50] Rena**
I'm going to go see Nikaido.
**[09:52] Sato**
I'm going to go talk to Odokawa.

**[10:07] Nikaido**
Do you need something?
**[10:10] Nikaido**
You're that girl from the other day.
**[10:13] Rena**
I'm here about Yuki—Mitsuya Yuki.
**[10:17] Rena**
Where is she now?
**[10:19] Nikaido**
She just left.
**[10:21] Rena**
I'm talking about the *real* Mitsuya Yuki.
**[10:24] Nikaido**
The real Yuki?
**[10:26] Nikaido**
I don't know. She suddenly disappeared.
**[10:30] Nikaido**
Our manager doesn't know what to do,
so he replaced her with another girl.
**[10:33] Nikaido**
Didn't her mother submit
a missing persons report?
**[10:36] Rena**
She rescinded it right away.
**[10:39] Nikaido**
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!

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?
**[19:34] Caster**
*The body found at Shibaura Wharf
has been identified.*
**[19:38] Caster**
*The deceased is Nerima City resident
Mitsuya Yuki-san,18 years old.*
**[19:43] Yamamoto**
I'm sorry for all the trouble we've caused.

In October, Mitsuya Yuki's
mother contacted us
**[20:01] Yamamoto**
to tell us that her daughter
hadn't returned home.
***SIGN*** Nikaido Rui
**[20:04] Yamamoto**
We did everything we could to help look
for her, but failed to locate her.
***SIGN*** Ichim
**[20:07] Reporter**
Then who's this Mitsuya Yuki
sitting up there?
***SIGN*** Nikaido Rui
***SIGN*** Yamamoto Fuyuki
***SIGN*** Sergio Takagi
**[20:09] Yamamoto**
We had another girl stand in for
Mitsuya Yuki so the group could debut.
**[20:13] Reporter**
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.
**[20:38] Yamamoto**
We take responsibility for failing to protect
her privacy and provide adequate security.
**[20:46] Yamamoto**
We cannot regret what happened
more than we already do.
**[20:51] Yamamoto**
We also can't bear to face
Shofutei Donraku-san
**[20:58] Yamamoto**
who entrusted his daughter to our agency.
**[21:01] Reporter**
Has Donraku-san said anything about this?
**[21:03] Reporter**
How do the other members feel?
**[21:05] Reporter**
Does Donraku-san know
Mitsuya Yuki was replaced?

*Mitsuya Yuki-san was a member

**[21:20] Kumiko**
I'm so sorry. Donraku
is currently out right now.
**[21:21] Caster**
*Fans have been shocked by
the sudden news of her death.*
**[21:24] Kumiko**
Could I please ask you to
leave for today? Excuse me.
**[21:27] Media**
Donraku-san! Donraku-san!
Could we get a comment?
**[21:32] Donraku**
Honestly...
**[21:36] Donraku**
Honestly, I know
I'm an irresponsible parent.
**[21:42] Donraku**
But honestly, I wish I could kill her killer.
**[21:46] Media**
Is this related to your
past criminal associations?
**[21:49] Media**
Will this affect your tomena naming?
**[21:50] Media**
Is that all you have to say
when your daughter was killed?
**[21:54] Donraku**
None of your damn business, you bastards!
**[21:55] Donraku**
What the hell are you doing?!
**[21:57] Donraku**
Go on! Get out of here, bastards!
**[22:08] Sato**
Rena-san, everyone's worried about you.
**[22:13] Otani**
We brought you those
salmon roe rice balls you like.
**[22:19] Sato**
Are you okay?
**[22:20] Otani**
Rena-chan.
**[22:20] Sato**
Excuse us.
**[22:22] Rena**
Sorry the place is a mess.
**[22:23] Otani**
It's fine.
**[22:24] Otani**
I'm glad you're okay, but...
**[22:25] Sato**
It's dark in here.
**[22:27] Otani**
Give us a second.
**[22:31] Otani**
Have some.
**[22:32] Sato**
That's good.
**[22:32] Otani**
Yeah?
**[22:33] Sato**
So, Rena-san, when are you
coming back to work?
**[22:35] Otani**
Don't ask her that right now.
**[22:38] Sato**
But if the boss were here...
**[22:40] Otani**
Yeah.
**[22:40] Sato**
We'd be like a family, you know?
**[22:43] Otani**
What does that mean? Oh, please.
**[22:47] Sato**
Imagine the boss were here.
The four of us would be a family.
**[22:52] Otani**
I guess that's not so bad.
**[22:54] Otani**
Is it good?
**[22:56] Sato**
It's so good. What's with this salmon roe?
**[22:59] Rena**
Yuki's working hard, too.
I couldn't say that to her.
***SIGN*** Next Time

Hey! Are you okay?

I don't want anything to do
with this stuff anymore.
**[23:06] Nikaido**
I really didn't do it!
**[23:08] Yamamoto**
Mitsuya called me.

**[00:17] Girl A**
*She's been practicing every morning lately.*
**[00:19] Girl C**
* No, it could be Yuki. Have you*

**[00:22] Girl A**
*But she's still a first-year.*
**[00:23] (Flashback) Students**
Let's go.
**[00:25] (Flashback) Advisor**
Gather round, track team!
**[00:31] (Flashback) Advisor**
We've chosen our lineup, so take a look.
**[00:34] (Flashback) Advisor**
This next meet will be the third-years' last.
**[00:37] (Flashback) Advisor**
Even if you're not competing, make sure
you cheer on the rest of the team.
**[00:40] (Flashback) Students**
Yes, ma'am.
**[00:50] (Flashback) Kanon**
What? Why? We're both
signed up for the relay.
**[00:54] (Flashback) Kanon**
Are we supposed to start
practicing our baton pass now?
***SIGN*** Running Long Jump

**[01:00] Kanon**
Wait, are all the third-years signed up?
**[01:10] Kanon**
What's wrong, Rena?
**[01:14] (Flashback) Rena**
I can't accept it.
**[01:16] (Flashback) Kanon**
Didn't you talk to the teacher?
**[01:20] (Flashback) Rena**
She said I was disrupting the team's harmony.
**[01:23] (Flashback) Kanon**
Wow, that's awful.
**[01:25] (Flashback) Kanon**
All you're doing is focusing on your own
training since we have a meet coming up.
**[01:29] (Flashback) Rena**
She refused to listen
to anything I had to say.
**[01:34] (Flashback) Rena**
I have to do well.
**[01:37] (Flashback) Kanon**
You mean for college?
**[01:39] (Flashback) Kanon**
Exemptions from school fees can be huge.
**[01:44] (Flashback) Kanon**
Why don't you try talking to Yuki?
**[01:46] (Flashback) Rena**
Yuki's training hard, too.
I couldn't say that to her.

Hello? Yes. Yes. Yes.
**[02:09] Employee B**
I'm sorry. Seems like
we've got a poor signal.
**[02:11] President**
Oh, give me a break. Are you done?
**[02:12] Employee B**
Can you hear me? Huh? Hello? Hello?
**[02:13] President**
Okay, bye. Bye. Yes. Yes.

I'm sorry. Yes. Yes. Thank you.

Do we have a poor signal?
**[02:21] Yamamoto**
Good afternoon, everyone.
**[02:24] Yamamoto**
Here you go. Here. Here.
**[02:27] Nikaido**
What is this?
**[02:29] Yamamoto**
I put together a concert set list.
**[02:31] Nikaido**
You can't expect us to sing
under these circumstances.
**[02:34] Nikaido**
Why aren't you stopping this?
**[02:35] Yamamoto**
Please. Tickets are selling like crazy.
**[02:40] Nikaido**
But...
**[02:45] Yamamoto**
Could you two leave us for a second?
**[02:56] Ichimura**
This can't be good.
**[02:59] Ichimura**
I finally learned the
choreography and song, too.
**[03:01] Ichimura**
They said we'd only be wearing masks
until Mitsuya-san came back, anyway.
**[03:07] Wadagaki**
I've been thinking, why don't we
start over at another agency?
**[03:13] Ichimura**
I don't want anything to do
with this stuff anymore.
**[03:16] Wadagaki**
I know. Let's talk downstairs.
**[03:20] Wadagaki**
Those girls we met the other day...
**[03:22] Nikaido**
I trusted you then.
**[03:27] Nikaido**
I knew it. That's why you
couldn't call the police.
**[03:34] Yamamoto**
Who else is there?
**[03:37] Nikaido**
How would I know?
**[03:39] Yamamoto**
You're the one who said it.
**[03:42] Nikaido**
What are you talking about?
**[03:45] Nikaido**
Maybe I said I wish they were dead,
but that was just a slip of the tongue.
**[03:53] Nikaido**
I really didn't do it!
**[03:54] Yamamoto**
I know that. You have no reason
to lie to me, Nikaido.
**[04:01] Nikaido**
Could you stop looking at me like that?
Like you know everything about me.
**[04:06] Nikaido**
Why did you show up then, anyway?
**[04:11] Yamamoto**
Mitsuya called me.
**[04:18] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Hello?
**[04:20] Mitsuya**
*Oh, hello.*
**[04:21] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Why are you calling so late?
**[04:23] Mitsuya**
*Nikaido-san asked me to come to the office.*
**[04:28] Mitsuya**
*I'm scared.*
**[04:31] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Nikaido did?
**[04:33] Mitsuya**
*Yeah. I hope I'm just overthinking it.*
**[04:37] Mitsuya**
*Could you come, too, Yamamoto-san?*
**[04:42] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Where are you now?
**[04:44] Mitsuya**
* I'm on my way there in a taxi.*
* I'll be there in about 20 minutes.*
**[04:50] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Fine. I'll be right there.
**[04:57] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Huh? Why are you sitting in the dark?
**[05:04] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Don't scare me like that, Nikaido.
**[05:08] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
What?
**[05:12] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
What is it? What's wrong?
**[05:18] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Huh? Mitsuya?
**[05:23] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
What is this?
**[05:26] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
What did you...
**[05:34] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Wait, wait, wait! How could you do this now?!
**[05:38] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
We're screwed if people find out about this.
**[05:41] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Let me think for a second.
**[05:49] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Okay, we're good. We're all good.
**[05:54] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
I know someone who will do anything
for the right price. No, wait...
**[05:59] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Did anyone see you come here?
Did you take the train?
**[06:03] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Damn it! I shouldn't have taken a taxi.
**[06:08] (Flashback) Nikaido**
I walked.
**[06:14] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
We need to hire a professional.
**[06:45] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
It's okay.
**[06:48] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
Yano-san, what should we do?
**[06:51] (Flashback) Yano**
Don't give up, man.
**[06:56] (Flashback) Yano**
I seriously can't with this.
**[07:00] (Flashback) Yano**
Looks like she was bludgeoned
by a pissed off Nikaido,
**[07:10] (Flashback) Yano**
then strangled by Yamamoto.
**[07:15] (Flashback) Yano**
"Never murder no matter how fat
the stacks" is the boss' roots.
**[07:20] (Flashback) Yano**
Now it's my rule.
**[07:22] (Flashback) Yano**
But you played fast and loose,
now you went and screwed the pooch.
**[07:28] (Flashback) Yano**
To me, that's how it looks.
**[07:31] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
Hey, you. Spread that tarp over there.
**[07:37] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
Come on.
**[07:40] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
We're gonna move her. Hurry up.
**[07:43] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Okay.
**[07:51] (Flashback) Yano**
Hey.
**[08:12] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Hurry, hurry.
**[08:22] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Um, where are we going?
**[08:24] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
Out to sea, then towards Kawasaki.
**[08:26] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
Land routes are too dangerous.
**[08:28] (Flashback) Yamamato**
What? We're going to toss her into the sea?
**[08:30] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
She'd come floating back
up right away, idiot.
**[08:35] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
We're gonna melt her.
**[08:38] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Wouldn't that construction site
be a better place to hide her?
**[08:41] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
That's our last resort.
**[08:45] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Last resort?
**[08:47] (Flashback) Yano**
No one ever resorts to using a last resort.
**[08:52] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
That land belongs to the group, idiot.
**[08:55] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
We're doing this without
the higher ups' knowledge.
**[08:56] (Flashback) Sekiguchi**
We're screwed if they find out.
**[09:05] (Flashback) Yano**
Hurry up or the sun will come up.
**[09:28] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
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.
**[17:40] Nakamine**
You know why we're here, don't you?
**[17:42] Fujiki**
You're under arrest for the murder
of Mitsuya Yuki on December 24th

**[18:32] Sato**
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 thought if I became an idol
I'd be able to meet my dad.
***SIGN*** Next Time
**[23:02] Mitsuya**
My dad is a storyteller.
His name is Donraku.
**[23:05] Nikaido**
If you're so unmotivated,
why don't you just quit?
**[23:06] Ichimura**
We've been forced to bend to her every whim.
**[23:08] Mitsuya**
I want to go as far as I can with this team.
**[23:11] Nikaido**
This isn't what you promised.
***SIGN*** This show is a work of fiction.

You gotta do whatever it takes

**[00:11] Wadagaki**
Sorry I'm late today.
**[00:16] Wadagaki**
You're still homeless, huh?
**[00:27] Donraku**
* This nation really will fall*
* due to incompetent politicians.*
**[00:32] Donraku**
*Those damn nepo-baby Diet members—*
**[00:37] (Flashback) Wadagaki**
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.
**[01:06] (Flashback) Mom**
I'm saying this for your sake.
**[01:09] (Flashback) Mom**
Once you grow up, someday you'll
understand, whether you like it or not.
**[01:17] (Flashback) Wadagaki**
Um, excuse me. Is the
audition in this building?
**[01:21] (Flashback) Applicant A**
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.
**[05:41] (Flashback) Mitsuya**
Maybe you know him. His name is Donraku.
**[05:47] (Flashback) Wadagaki**

Oh, uh...
**[07:45] (Flashback) Wadagaki**
How can I get in?
**[07:47] (Flashback) Yamamoto**

Three girls is the most we can look after.

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?

**[08:57] (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.

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.
***SIGN*** I'll be waiting at this plaza on January 10th. -Donraku
**[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.

Hello.

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—

**[12:47] 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

**[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.
