[00:15] Director
    Cut!
[00:16] Ad
    Okay, cut. That was good.
[00:17] Ad
    We'll do the parking lot scene next.
    We'll resume in 20 minutes.
[00:20] Staff
    Also, everyone, Nikaido-sama brought
    us some sweet buns. Thank you!
[00:25] Staff
    Thank you!
[00:27] Director
    You were fantastic, Rui-chan.
    That felt really real.
[00:31] Director
    Keep up the good work.
[00:33] Nikaido
    Yes, sir.
[00:34] Yamamoto
    Thank you, Director.
[00:36] Director
    Sure thing.
[00:37] Yamamoto
    You were great.
[00:39] Nikaido
    Why do I have to do this?
[00:42] Yamamoto
    What?
[00:42] Staff
    Hello.
[00:44] Yamamoto
    Come on, don't do this now.
[00:47] Yamamoto
    You're the one who said you couldn't
    make it on singing and dancing alone.
[00:50] Yamamoto
    You're gonna get cast in bit parts to start.
[00:52] Nikaido
    No, I mean why does it have to be this role?
[00:57] Yamamoto
    There weren't any other options.
[01:00] Yamamoto
    We couldn't say no after
    they made a role just for you.
[01:03] Nikaido
    Well, thank you very much.
[01:05] Yamamoto
    What's wrong with you? Don't get so upset.
[01:09] Yamamoto
    You're judging that audition tonight.
[01:11] Yamamoto
    Be friendly. I'm counting on you, okay?
[01:13] Staff
    Hello.
[01:14] Yamamoto
    Hello.
[01:28] Rena
    Excuse me.
[01:30] Ichimura
    Yes?
[01:33] Kanon
    Are you two in Mystery Kiss?
[01:35] Wadagaki
    Nice to meet you.
[01:37] Rena
    This actually isn't the first time.
[01:39] Kanon
    We've met before.
[01:43] Wadagaki
    Oh, you were at the release event.
[01:45] Ichimura
    Oh, is that why?
[01:47] Ichimura
    It's not like we have any other female fans.
[01:49] Rena
    I'm so happy to be
    standing onstage with you.
[01:51] Wadagaki
    Wow, I'm impressed you
    made it to the final ten.
[01:55] Rena
    It's just a coincidence.
    How was your audition?
[02:01] Wadagaki
    I think there were about a hundred people.
[02:03] Kanon
    A hundred?
[02:04] Rena
    And the three of you were chosen?
[02:10] Ichimura
    Yeah. The three of us were chosen.
[02:13] Rena
    I guess people who survive
    are a different breed.
[02:15] Kanon
    Right?
[02:17] Ichimura
    How?
[02:17] Rena
    What?
[02:18] Ichimura
    They make us wear masks.
[02:21] Ichimura
    They're only trying to promote Nikaido-san.
[02:23] Rena
    Why?
[02:24] Ichimura
    Why? Because... I don't know.
[02:28] Ichimura
    It's probably the agency's strategy, right?
[02:32] Kanon
    Are you two okay with that?
[02:35] Yamamoto
    Sorry. Good morning,
    good morning, good morning.
[02:37] Idols
    Good morning.
[02:44] Yamamoto
    What's wrong?
[02:46] Nikaido
    What is this? We're all
    sharing a greenroom?
[02:50] Yamamoto
    We've got a lot of people. We can't help it.
[02:52] Nikaido
    I want my own room.
[02:55] Yamamoto
    But it's full of equipment and costumes.
[02:57] Nikaido
    Then install a partition here. Now.
[03:00] Yamamoto
    Hold on.
[03:08] Yamamoto
    Hey. Nikaido, hey.
[03:12] Kanon
    She's got a cute face, but...
[03:15] Rena
    Mitsuya-san, what is Nikaido-san like?
[03:20] Wadagaki
    Like you just saw.
    Strong-willed and hates to lose.
[03:26] Rena
    I wish I could talk to her.
[03:28] Wadagaki
    I get it. Not even I feel like
    I can casually talk to her.
[03:33] Wadagaki
    She's been even more on edge since it was
    decided we'd make our major debut.
[03:38] Kanon
    Mystery Kiss is kind of impressive, though.
[03:41] Kanon
    You only had five fans to start, right?
[03:43] Wadagaki
    Huh?
[03:46] Wadagaki
    Oh, yeah. There was a time like that.
[03:50] Wadagaki
    It was tough.
[03:55] Rena
    Is Mitsuya a stage name?
[03:58] Wadagaki
    Why?
[03:59] Kanon
    We have this high school junior we haven't
    been able to get in touch with recently.
[04:03] Kanon
    We're looking for her.
[04:04] Kanon
    Her name is Mitsuya Yuki.
[04:06] Rena
    Hey, Kanon.
[04:07] Kanon
    What?
[04:08] Wadagaki
    What a coincidence.
[04:11] Wadagaki
    Is your junior an idol, too?
[04:18] Wadagaki
    I see. You must be worried.
[04:21] Rena
    Yeah, so could you let me know
    if you know anything?
[04:28] Wadagaki
    Sure. I'll let you know
    if anything comes up.
[04:30] Rena
    Thanks. Do you mind?
[04:32] Kanon
    Look. Look at this.
[04:34] Rena
    I'm looking, I'm looking.
[04:35] Kanon
    Don't I look amazing?
[04:36] Rena
    Hold on.
[04:37] Kanon
    I could totally debut.
[04:38] Rena
    Can you be quiet for a second?
[04:45] Yamamoto
    Hello? We have a problem.
[04:49] Kanon
    Rena, I think you're wearing that backwards.
[04:55] Rena
    Oh, you're right.
[04:56] Kanon
    Pull yourself together. This isn't like you.
[04:59] Rena
    Sorry.
[05:00] Kanon
    I'm heading back out there.
[05:01] Rena
    Okay.
[05:16] Rena
    Do you know where Mitsuya Yuki is?
[05:19] Nikaido
    No. Probably still in the green room.
[05:24] Rena
    The real one.
[05:35] Underling
    Greenroom?
[05:36] Staff
    May I see your ticket?
[05:37] Underling
    Where's the greenroom?
[05:37] Staff
    The greenroom isn't open to the public.
[05:39] Underling
    I'm asking you where the greenroom is.
[05:40] Staff
    Um, if I could see some ID...
[05:42] Underling
    What? You're useless.
[05:46] Kanon
    She suddenly disappeared.
    I can't find her anywhere.
[05:49] Staff
    Sometimes girls cancel last minute.
[05:52] Staff
    We can't wait any longer, so you're
    disqualified due to an absence.
[05:57] Staff
    You're on next, Mystery Kiss.
[05:59] Kanon
    Seriously?
[06:02] Kanon
    Where have you been?
    I was worried about you.
[06:04] Kanon
    We failed the audition, y'know!
[06:08] Rena
    Get out of there. Go somewhere safe.
[06:11] Rena
    Not your home. Somewhere around people.
[06:14] Rena
    I'll call you later.
[06:38] Fan
    Who is that?
[06:43] Rena
    Crap, crap, crap.
[06:44] Fan
    Watch out.
[06:48] Fan
    Hey! Whoa!
[06:55] Fan
    Rui-tan! Rui-tan!
[06:56] Nikaido
    Thanks for waiting, everyone! Here we go!
[07:02] Nikaido
    Ready, and...
[08:20] Sekiguchi
    Who the hell are you?
[08:22] Sekiguchi
    What were you doing there?
[08:29] Sato
    Why didn't you audition?
[08:36] Yamamoto
    Thanks again, Odokawa-san.
[08:39] Yamamoto
    Could you take us
    to Shibaura Wharf in a hurry?
[08:48] Yamamoto
    Thanks.
[08:52] Yamamoto
    By the way, have you considered my request
    to hand over your dash cam data?
[08:59] Odokawa
    Yeah, sure.
[09:01] Yamamoto
    Really?
[09:03] Odokawa
    I'll sell it to you.
[09:06] Odokawa
    For one billion yen.
[09:14] Yamamoto
    That's the kind of price
    a child would come up with.
[09:28] Sekiguchi
    Doesn't this seem like not enough profit?
[09:31] Sekiguchi
    Is this all we make from concerts?
[09:34] Yamamoto
    They weren't the only ones performing today.
[09:36] Sekiguchi
    Why's she here?
[09:41] Yamamoto
    She doesn't want to run
    badger games anymore,
[09:45] Yamamoto
    so she's here to talk to Yano-san.
[09:47] Sekiguchi
    He's busy right now.
[09:50] Yamamoto
    More importantly, I've got some bad news.
[09:52] Yamamoto
    Could I talk to him for a few minutes?
[09:54] Sekiguchi
    Bad news?
[09:55] Kakihana
    Shiho-chan.
[09:56] Yamamoto
    It's about the dash cam.
[09:57] Kakihana
    Is that you, Shiho-chan?
[10:00] Kakihana
    That's not you, is it?
[10:03] Ichimura
    Who are you?
[10:04] Kakihana
    Shiho-chan!
[10:06] Kakihana
    You're being tricked, right?
[10:07] Kakihana
    I'll protect you from these guys!
[10:14] Kakihana
    I'm actually pretty strong.
[10:17] Kakihana
    I've mastered every martial art there is,
    from sumo for kids to whatever-jiujitsu.
[10:26] Ichimura
    Don't get the wrong idea, mister.
    Seriously, I can't even.
[10:31] Kakihana
    Didn't we have fun together?
[10:32] Kakihana
    We ate lots of good food together.
[10:34] Ichimura
    Spending time with you was painful.
[10:37] Ichimura
    That's why I want to quit
    running badger games.
[10:39] Kakihana
    You're not the kind of girl who says that!
[10:42] Kakihana
    Shiho-chan, you're a liar!
[10:44] Ichimura
    You're the liar, you bum! You're broke!
[10:47] Yamamoto
    Ichimura.
[10:50] Kakihana
    Why?! Why would you say that?!
[10:56] Yano
    What, what, what?
[10:57] Kakihana
    I don't believe you! You're lying!
[10:58] Sekiguchi
    So, what's your bad news?
[11:02] Yamamoto
    It's about the dash cam data.
[11:07] Yamamoto
    Someone else offered to buy it.
[11:10] Yamamoto
    We need to get that dash cam data soon.
[11:12] Yamamoto
    I haven't been able to sleep since then.
[11:15] Yamamoto
    I keep expecting my doorbell to ring.
[11:18] Yamamoto
    Can't you do something about this?!
[11:19] Sekiguchi
    Quit your whining!
[11:25] Yamamoto
    Mystery Kiss is doing great right now!
[11:29] Yamamoto
    They're about to make their major debut!
[11:32] Yano
    You guys are doin' pretty good these days?
[11:34] Yano
    Then ain't it about time my favor was repaid?
[11:40] Sekiguchi
    What should we do with him?
[11:42] Yano
    What should we do? What should we do?!
[11:45] Yano
    You're just like him, too.
[11:47] Yano
    Lacking in caution.
    Quit asking about our next move.
[11:55] Dobu
    So, how was Yamamoto?
[11:59] Odokawa
    He seemed flustered.
[12:01] Odokawa
    He wanted to know who was trying to buy it.
[12:03] Dobu
    Want some?
[12:05] Odokawa
    So, what are you going to do next?
SIGN    I haven't heard from Kakihana-san in a week. Do you know where he is?
[12:08] Dobu
    I'm gonna rob a bank.
[12:11] Odokawa
    What? Sorry, I wasn't listening.
[12:14] Dobu
    I'm going to rob a bank.
[12:17] Odokawa
    Are you stupid? How, in this day and age?
[12:22] Dobu
    To be precise, I'm going to rob someone
    who's at the bank to make a withdrawal.
[12:26] Dobu
    I want you to help me.
[12:28] Odokawa
    I told you, I'm not helping you.
[12:31] Dobu
    Just listen.
[12:32] Dobu
    It takes a week or two to get
    enough cash for a large withdrawal.
[12:37] Dobu
    They're supposed to contact me
    when that happens.
[12:40] Dobu
    They'll let me know who's receiving
    how much cash on what day at what time.
[12:45] Odokawa
    How do you know that?
[12:48] Dobu
    Lottery tickets can only be redeemed
    at an exchange bank.
[12:51] Dobu
    Anyone who wins a large amount
    has to visit that branch,
[12:54] Dobu
    and I've bribed one of their bank employees.
[12:58] Dobu
    It's basically like I won the lottery.
[13:02] Odokawa
    That's an awfully roundabout
    way of doing things.
[13:04] Odokawa
    Why not just have the bank
    employee withdraw the cash?
[13:07] Dobu
    You don't get it.
[13:11] Dobu
    That would make the employee a victim.
[13:14] Dobu
    If I make them an accomplice, then no matter
    what happens, it'll work out for me.
[13:19] Dobu
    As the day of the withdrawal approaches,
[13:22] Dobu
    guys like me will swarm around
    that bank employee.
[13:26] Dobu
    And we'll beat 'em all and take the cash.
[13:33] Dobu
    You won't be in any danger.
[13:37] Dobu
    All you have to do is put the cash in
    your car once I've taken it to a safe place.
[13:46] Dobu
    We'll ditch the main car then.
[13:50] Dobu
    You and I will disappear with the cash.
[13:54] Dobu
    Don't think about it too hard.
[13:59] Employee
    We're asking for donations.
[14:00] Kuroda
    Thank you.
[14:03] Kuroda
    You're drinking again,
    aren't you? You gotta quit.
[14:03] Employee
    Thank you.
[14:07] Employee
    Children eat for free.
[14:09] Kuroda
    Here.
[14:10] Employee
    We're asking for donations, please.
[14:11] Employee
    Thank you!
[14:13] Kuroda
    It's warm.
[14:17] Kuroda
    Here.
[14:22] Kuroda
    I thought I told you not to come here.
[14:26] Yano
    Why are you doing this?
[14:28] Kuroda
    They didn't have enough staff.
[14:30] Yano
    I'm not talking about the pork broth.
[14:32] Kuroda
    I want to retire and focus on this.
[14:39] Yano
    I won't forget everything you've done for me.
[14:42] Kuroda
    You're awfully hasty, aren't you?
[14:48] Yano
    So, about that dirty-as-sin heaping
    pile of cash you can't spend...
[14:54] Kuroda
    You don't have to put it like that.
[14:56] Yano
    The billion yen Dobu-san's got his eye on.
[14:59] Yano
    I already found it.
[15:03] Kuroda
    The police are watching me.
    I can't do anything.
[15:06] Yano
    That's why this is an opportunity.
[15:09] Yano
    I can't let you do this.
[15:12] Yano
    I'm gonna bring you some
    sparkling clean money.
[15:16] Kuroda
    You idiot!
[15:18] Kuroda
    I'm doing this for the world!
    For the people!
[15:26] Kuroda
    I didn't found an NPO just to launder money!
[15:31] Yano
    Doesn't matter to me either way.
[15:35] Yano
    If you're determined to retire,
    then you'll definitely need money.
[15:40] Yano
    You need money to help people, too.
[15:42] Kuroda
    So you're gonna steal some
    from an honest man?
[15:45] Yano
    No, I'm gonna protect an honest citizen.
[15:49] Yano
    He's been yapping about it on social media.
[15:52] Yano
    Even if we left him alone,
    someone worse would prey on him.
[15:56] Kuroda
    I haven't finished cleaning up
    your mess, you know.
[16:01] Kuroda
    There was a time when I thought
    about making you an executive.
[16:06] Kuroda
    I must be going senile.
[16:16] Kuroda
    Did you kidnap Don-chan's daughter?
[16:32] Odokawa
    The girl my friend met through a dating site,
[16:35] Odokawa
    and the girl who was with a talent agency
    guy named Yamamoto are the same person.
[16:38] (Flashback) Kakihana
    My spring's finally on the horizon, though.
[16:41] Dobu
    So? Why do I have to be your bodyguard?
[16:45] Odokawa
    You're the one who proposed
    I transport a billion yen.
[16:48] Dobu
    Those are hardly equal.
[16:52] Dobu
    So, where's your friend?
[16:56] Odokawa
    At the wharf.
[16:57] Dobu
    Hold on. You don't mean
    Yano's place, do you?
[17:01] Dobu
    If it is, there's nothing I can do.
[17:04] Odokawa
    Isn't Yano your junior?
[17:06] Odokawa
    You're the one obsessed with hierarchies
    and pledges made over sake cups.
[17:09] Odokawa
    You should be able to
    resolve this by talking.
[17:11] Dobu
    There's an unspoken rule that we don't
    interfere with each other's business.
[17:15] Odokawa
    If I can't save Kakihana,
    I'm not helping you rob a bank.
[17:20] Odokawa
    Wouldn't that mean Yano
    is interfering with your job?
[17:25] Dobu
    You think you're so witty, don't you?
[17:34] Man
    Hey.
[18:08] Sekiguchi
    Well, if it isn't Dobu-san.
[18:11] Sekiguchi
    What do you think you're doing?
[18:13] Dobu
    It's cold out here. Let me inside.
[18:18] Sekiguchi
    Who is he?
[18:20] Dobu
    A taxi driver.
[18:23] Sekiguchi
    That's your underling?
[18:26] Sekiguchi
    You've fallen far, Dobu.
[18:29] Dobu
    And you're out here runnin' badger games,
    so I could say the same of you.
[18:36] Dobu
    Hey, taxi driver. I'm gonna
    chuck this guy into the sea.
[18:43] Dobu
    Take your friend and get
    outta here in the meantime.
[20:45] Odokawa
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[21:09] Kakihana
    Odokawa...
[21:15] Kakihana
    I get to go home?
[21:18] Odokawa
    Yeah, let's go home.
[21:22] Kakihana
    I'm so pathetic.
[21:24] Kakihana
    And you know what he said?
[21:26] Kakihana
    That I've always been pathetic.
[21:33] Kakihana
    Suddenly, I felt better.
[21:36] Kakihana
    He's my hero.
[21:40] Sato
    So, where is this Odokawa person now?
[21:44] Kakihana
    He said he still had something to do.
[21:49] Rena
    Kakihana-san, do you know
    where you were being held captive?
[21:53] Kaikhana
    Not sure. Seemed like
    some kind of warehouse.
[21:58] Rena
    Did you see any young girls
    around Ichimura Shiho's age?
[22:04] Rena
    Who was holding you captive?
[22:09] Kakihana
    This big bear of a man wearing glasses.
[22:13] Kakihana
    He was wearing a black track suit.
[22:17] Sato
    Do you remember anything else?
[22:20] Sato
    Did they say anything?
[22:24] Kakihana
    They were talking about some dash cam data.
[22:28] Kakihana
    They said they really needed
    to get their hands on it.
[22:31] Taeko
    Kakihana-san, should we call the police?
[22:34] Kakihana
    Nah, it's kind of embarrassing.
[22:37] Kakihana
    Besides, I'm tired.
