[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

    if I find out you have later, right?

    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.

    I'm really sorry. I screwed up.

    Yes, sir.

    At a glance, he seems like your typical

    You're contradicting yourself, but yeah.
[14:17] Sato
    He lives a totally boring, ordinary life.

    Huh? Are you still mad, boss?

    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.

    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?

    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.

    Don't.

[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.

    We're never going to

[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.

    If anything, it'd be crazy 
    if I had any self-esteem.
[03:43] Rena
    Wow. I've never experienced

    Can we go talk to them?
[03:54] Ichimura
    Can I help you?
[03:55] Kanon
    Um, we're huge fans of Mystery Kiss.

    Yes, that's right.

    Really?
[04:02] Kanon
    Oh, yes.
[04:02] Ichimura
    I'm so glad. We don't

    Yeah.

    Um, Mitsuya-san?

    Yes?

[04:33] Wadagaki

    She can sense all that when
    you're wearing a mask? Crazy.

    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.

    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

[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

    Oh, shit. I get why those nerds

    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?"

    Ugly idiot? You're kidding, right?

    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

[02:07] Donraku

    I'm sure there are people
    who hate me all over.

    Apparently she ran away from home
    and said not to look for her.

    What do we do with this information?
[03:20] Sato
    What about the illegal stuff?
    Should we retrieve it?

    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.

    Ibu, one of your young 'uns
    went to see Don-chan.

    I told her not to.
[04:11] Kuroda
    You didn't put her up to it?

    Once she gets into something,
    she acts indiscriminately.

    Please just leave her alone.

    so he could buy up some idol group's CDs.

[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.
[08:43] Rena
    You deserve this level of luxury.
[08:47] Bartender
    Thank you for waiting.
[08:50] Rena
    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.

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.

SIGN    Kobayashi Tome
[05:15] Sato
    Why didn't you tell me sooner
    that we have a database like this?

    I told you just now.

    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.

    It's always hardest to see
    what's right under your nose.
[05:44] Rena
    I hope we can find everyone this easily.

    And we get paid to do this? Easy money.

    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

SIGN    I might be able to get her
    real name at reception.
[12:14] Employee

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.

    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?

    Okay.

    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.

[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.

    Besides, I'm tired.

[01:20] Wadagaki
    Does your agency make you do

[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

    I just came to Tokyo.

    Our manager doesn't know what to do,

[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.

    or pretending to be an idol.

    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!

    Hey! Hey, Dobu-san! Dobu-san!

    Before dawn on the 25th, three male
    members of an anti-social organization
[16:08] Male Announcer
    nearly stole roughly one billion yen
    in lottery winnings.
[16:09] Female Announcer 1
    Representative Kuroda Shigeru was transported 
    by emergency services to the hospital,
[16:10] Male Announcer
    This morning before dawn,
    the police arrested a 27-year-old
[16:12] Female Announcer 1
    where he is receiving treatment for...
[16:13] Male Announcer
    and 33-year-old unemployed man
    fleeing from the scene of the crime.
[16:13] Female Announcer 2
    According to the MPD, suspect Kyohei 
    was shot with a firearm in a parking lot.
[16:15] Female Announcer 2
    Illegally acquired funds were 
    being supplied to the NPO...
[16:15] Male Announcer
    Due to severe blood loss, a 39-year-old man
    thought be to connected to the same case...
[16:17] Female Announcer 2
    The police have been waiting 
    for Kuroda to recover to...
[16:19] Female Announcer 2
    Until now, he's supported 
    over 5,000 children
[16:21] Female Announcer 2
    orphaned by traffic accidents 
    or without living relatives...
[16:23] Female Reporter
    In the case of the unidentified body
    found near Shibaura Wharf,
[16:25] Female Reporter
    the MPD is investigating a connection
    to the missing Nerima high school girl
[16:30] Female Reporter
    due to similarities
    in appearance and clothes—
[16:36] Kumiko
    Well?
[16:38] Rena
    The day she disappeared,
    Yuki-san received a bunch of calls
[16:43] Rena
    from another girl in her group
    in the middle of the night.
[16:47] Kumiko
    That's right. She said her friend
    invited her out before she left.
[16:52] Rena
    Where was she invited to?
[16:54] Kumiko
    I don't know.
[16:57] Rena
    That girl is the leader
    of the group Yuki was in.
[17:01] Kumiko
    I see.
[17:02] Rena
    Yes.
[17:04] Rena
    And that night, that leader...
    Nikaido entered the agency's office.
[17:11] Rena
    This is Nikaido Rui. Do you recognize her?
[17:18] Kumiko
    Did Yuki do something
    to make this girl hate her?
[17:23] Rena
    Even if she did, what happened
    to her is unforgivable.
[17:28] Rena
    I promise I'll catch whoever did it.
[17:32] Kumiko
    Why are you doing all this for my daughter?
[17:40] Kumiko
    A man named Yano has been telling me
    to keep quiet about this.
[17:49] Kumiko
    "Don't look for your daughter. If you tell
    the police, I'll expose your husband's past."
[17:56] Kumiko
    At first, he promised
    to tell me where Yuki was
[18:00] Kumiko
    if I rescinded the missing person's report.
[18:02] Rena
    Yano?
[18:03] Ibusuki
    A potential executive
    of a criminal organization.
[18:07] Rena
    Why didn't he want you to talk?
[18:12] Kumiko
    My husband Donraku was
    going to be named a tomena.
[18:17] Rena
    Tomena?
[18:18] Sato
    Rena-san, you don't know what that is?
[18:20] Sato
    It means no one else will take his name.
[18:23] Sato
    It's the highest rank someone can achieve.
[18:26] Kumiko
    Yuki was overjoyed by the news, too.
[18:29] Kumiko
    So at first, we thought Yuki ran away
[18:32] Kumiko
    because she was shocked
    to learn about Donraku's past.
[18:38] Rena
    Did Yano tell you that?
[18:42] Rena
    Was there anything else
    unusual about that day?
[18:47] Kumiko
    It was the same as always.
[18:49] Kumiko
    On weekdays, she came home
    around eight at night.
[18:52] Kumiko
    Donraku was home for once, so
    the three of us had dinner at home.
[18:58] Kumiko
    We talked about trivial things,
[19:01] Kumiko
    like the trouble Yuki caused when
    she was little by bringing frogs home.
[19:09] Kumiko
    Hello?
[19:11] Kumiko
    I'll be right there.

[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.

    You mean she was killed by a fan?

    No, I'm just saying that's a possibility.

[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

[17:36] Nakamine
    Um, Nikaido-san.

    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.

    Why do you turn off the TV?

    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

[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.

    Yeah.

[05:35] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    He had a reputation for casually
    saying things that upset people,

[07:53] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Three girls is the most we can look after.
[07:56] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Sakura-chan?
[07:58] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    If I wasn't chosen to be one of them,
    then I'd like to know why!
[08:04] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    I don't remember the exact reason. Sorry.
[08:09] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Mitsuya-san.
[08:10] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    What?
[08:11] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    What about Mitsuya-san?
[08:12] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Mitsuya?
[08:13] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Um...
[08:14] (Flashback) Ichimura
    Come on. Let's go.
[08:17] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Oh, right. I remember now.
[08:21] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    You were the runner-up behind Mitsuya.
[08:25] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    You were so close.
    If only you had a bit more charm.
[08:28] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Oh, I know. We're going to
    hold another audition.
[08:31] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Why don't you practice until then?
[08:34] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    I'll be in touch. Thanks.
[08:38] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Let's get going.
[08:52] (Flashback) Teacher
    Take a 15-minute break, and then we'll
    check your formation on the next pass.
[08:57] (Flashback) All
    Okay.
[08:58] (Flashback) Ichimura
    That girl was kind of crazy.
[09:00] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Who?
[09:01] (Flashback) Ichimura
    She was so desperate to know why she failed.
[09:04] (Flashback) Nikaido
    What? Of course she was desperate.
    What's crazy about that?
[09:08] (Flashback) Nikaido
    You know, your dancing is sloppy,
    and you're not getting any better.
[09:13] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Do you even want to do this?
[09:16] (Flashback) Ichimura
    My house is too cramped
    to practice on my own.
[09:18] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Oh, really? That must be so hard for you.
[09:22] (Flashback) Nikaido
    You're full of excuses. That other girl
    was way more motivated than you.
[09:25] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Hey, come on.
[09:27] (Flashback) Ichimura
    Is this really worth getting worked up about?
[09:29] (Flashback) Nikaido
    If you're so unmotivated,
    why don't you just quit?
[09:31] (Flashback) Ichimura
    I told you, my family's actually really poor.
[09:35] (Flashback) Ichimura
    I need the money, so I'm not quitting.
[09:37] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Quit it, you two.
[09:39] (Flashback) Ichimura
    You know, you talk about auditioning, but
    you've known the manager for a long time.
[09:46] (Flashback) Ichimura
    Sounds super shady to me.
[09:48] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Hey, come on. The three of us
    are going to be a team.
[09:52] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Let's try to work together, okay?
[09:53] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Why should I? I don't have time for that.
[09:57] (Flashback) Ichimura
    I've been trying to this whole time.
[09:59] (Flashback) Ichimura
    We've been forced to bend to her every whim.
[10:01] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Maybe, but we're going to have to
    work together like this for a while.
[10:05] (Flashback) Nikaido
    You're too soft. Someone needs
    to give it to her straight.
[10:15] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Fine. Then you should go solo, Nikaido-san.
[10:19] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I want to go as far as I can with this team.
[10:23] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Maybe it's selfish,
[10:26] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    but I understand how both of you feel,
    and I want to respect that.
[10:35] (Flashback) Nikaido
    What's your deal?
[10:38] (Flashback) Teacher
    If anything comes up,
    let me know by call or text.
[10:40] (Flashback) Both
    Good night.
[10:42] (Flashback) Teacher
    Good night.
[10:43] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Good night.
[10:51] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Here.
[10:53] (Flashback) Ichimura
    What?
[10:55] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Sorry about earlier.
[10:56] (Flashback) Ichimura
    Nikaido-san, you eat this stuff, too?
[10:59] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Today is special.
[11:02] (Flashback) Ichimura
    Thanks.
[11:03] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Why did you two want to become idols?
[11:09] (Flashback) Ichimura
    I don't have my own room at home.
[11:12] (Flashback) Ichimura
    The bathtub's the only place
    I can call my own.
[11:15] (Flashback) Ichimura
    So I want to move to a place with a huge tub.
[11:18] (Flashback) Ichimura
    In other words, I want to be rich.
[11:22] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Huh, I see.
[11:25] (Flashback) Nikaido
    You won't be able to afford a big tub
    if you're barely managing the choreography.
[11:29] (Flashback) Nikaido
    I wish you at least wouldn't
    hold me or Mitsuya-san back.
[11:33] (Flashback) Ichimura
    Sorry.
[11:35] (Flashback) Nikaido
    You're struggling with the B part, right?
    I'll show you a trick to doing it.
[11:41] (Flashback) Ichimura
    Thanks, I think.
[11:44] (Flashback) Ichimura
    What about you, Mitsuya-san?
[11:47] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Why an idol?
[11:48] (Flashback) Ichimura
    Yeah.
[11:52] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    From watching my dad, I think.
[11:57] (Flashback) Nikaido
    God, just how much of a good girl are you?
[12:00] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    You think?
[12:01] (Flashback) Ichimura
    There aren't many girls like you these days.
[12:04] (Flashback) Cameraman
    Okay, let's try smiling more now.
[12:07] (Flashback) Cameraman
    Nice. Could you come forward?
[12:12] (Flashback) Cameraman
    This girl's got a powerful aura.
[12:15] (Flashback) Cameraman
    She's gonna be big.
[12:18] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    I know Nikaido is a winner, too.
[12:21] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Actually, since her previous agency—
[12:23] (Flashback) Cameraman
    Oh, not her. This girl.
[12:28] (Flashback) Cameraman
    This Mitsuya girl.
[12:31] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Oh, yeah.
[12:33] (Flashback) Cameraman
    It's like she's on another level.
[12:37] (Flashback) Producer
    Like I told you before, Yamamoto-chan...
[12:40] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Yes.
[12:41] (Flashback) Producer
    I feel like Mitsuya-san was born
    with something different.
[12:47] (Flashback) Producer
    She's gonna turn into something incredible.
[12:49] (Flashback) President
    Sounds good to me.
[12:51] (Flashback) President
    Nikaido's talented. As long as she
    supports her, they'll make a good team.
[12:56] (Flashback) President
    Good morning. Good to see you again.
[12:58] (Flashback) All
    Good morning.
[12:59] (Flashback) President
    Good morning.
[13:00] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    What? A debut tour?
[13:03] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Yeah. I worked really hard for this.
[13:05] (Flashback) Ichimura
    But I still don't have
    the choreography down yet.
[13:09] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Oh, uh...
[13:11] (Flashback) Nikaido
    What is this?
[13:13] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Oh, um...
[13:19] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    That's the artist photo we're gonna go with.
[13:23] (Flashback) President
    Be direct with them, Yamamoto-kun.
    Mitsuya is going to be the center.
[13:27] (Flashback) President
    You girls back her up
    and make Mystery Kiss big.

[13:32] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Thank you.

    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.

[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.

    Hello? Is this Wadagaki Sakura-san's phone?

    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.

[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.

    That girl from Mystery Kiss. The black cat.
[03:02] Sato
    Is this her?
[03:04] Odokawa
    I don't know. It doesn't match up
    with people's faces.
[03:08] Rena
    Do you not remember Wadagaki Sakura's face?
[03:13] Imai
    Rena-chan, that's enough. I don't
    want to cause him anymore trouble.
[03:18] Rena
    But if Odokawa-san is the only witness—
[03:21] Imai
    It's okay. I'll protect Odokawa-sama.
[03:25] Imai
    I owe him for getting my billion yen back.
[03:28] Imai
    You can count on me. Okay?
[03:30] Rena
    This is what I've investigated...
[03:33] Rena
    I summarized everything
    I know about Yuki.
[03:34] Nakamine
    Huh.
[03:40] Sato
    Look at this right here.
[03:43] Sato
    See? It went out.
[03:44] Nakamine
    You're trying to say someone entered
    the office before them, right?
[03:46] Sato
    Yes.
[03:48] Nakamine
    You can certainly see a silhouette, but...
[03:51] Rena
    I saw the news.
[03:52] Rena
    They say something might've
    happened before Nikaido arrived.
[03:57] Nakamine
    You mean someone else might've killed her.
[04:00] Nakamine
    This backs up the time Nikaido gave, huh?
[04:04] Rena
    Isn't Nikaido Rui saying the same thing?
[04:07] Nakamine
    She's got nerves of steel.
    She's never changed her story.
[04:11] Rena
    She hasn't committed murder. Am I wrong?
[04:13] Fujiki
    Abandoning a body is still a crime.
[04:17] Rena
    Someone else killed Yuki.
[04:22] Rena
    There's the messages Donraku-san received
    and Odokawa-san's testimony.
[04:27] Rena
    They should be on the dash
    cam data you collected, too.
[04:31] Sato
    Wadagaki Sakura said on TV
    that she's looking for her father.
[04:36] Fujiki
    Hang on, do you really think this
    is something you can figure out?
[04:40] Fujiki
    That driver has visual agnosia, doesn't he?
[04:45] Fujiki
    That casts doubt on his eyewitness testimony.
[04:49] Sato
    But we've brought you evidence.
[04:52] Fujiki
    Okay.
[04:55] Sato
    We're getting nowhere. Let's go, Rena-san.
[04:57] Fujiki
    We've already got plenty of evidence,
    so take this with you.
[05:01] All
    Thank you.
[05:04] Odokawa
    I told you, you don't have to come with me.
[05:06] Odokawa
    If someone were trying to kill me,
    I'd already be dead.
[05:09] Imai
    Then I'll hire a bodyguard for you
    for as long as I can afford it.
[05:13] Odokawa
    I won't be able to work with a bodyguard.
[05:17] Odokawa
    I appreciate everything you've done,
    but leave me alone.
[05:33] Donraku
    Will she really come?
[05:35] Rena
    It's worth a shot.

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

    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.

    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...

    plugging along despite it.

    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.

    So all that's left is for the name to die.

    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.

    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.

    Hey, I'm actually dealing
    with something right now.
[20:52] (Flashback) Kumiko
    I'm sorry, Yuki. Were we too loud?

    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?

    you'll hit me on the head with a hammer.
